Well, it may not be in a small town where there's only one stadium, within walking distance, but that's not so in DISD. Tiger fans who loyally attend athletic functions are a special breed. They conquer the logistics of travel, money and time. Most fans don't have cars and most public transportation isn't keyed to ball game traffic. In addition, many students have jobs - which they need to pay for tickets and munchies - but which are usually hard to get out off on weekends. Also, some teachers seem to think weekends are especially designed for extra homework. But those who make it are justly rewarded. Not only can they discuss the school's current sports history from first hand experience, but in years to come, they will recall that special thrill, the cameraderie and the minor tragedies that only sports events can produce. Kids and adults alike tend to go in groups, it's more fun that way tcenterl.

Every day the cafeteria feeds up to 800 hungry mouths in an hour and a half. The heaviest traffic days are on hamburger special and pizza days.

None but the most devious of souls gets a locker to themselves. The rule says 'two students to each locker', but that's not always the case. Usually it ends up being more than two people - depending on how many best riends one has who don't have the inclination to pay the locker fee. The best time to find out the new sharing record is during periodic locker cleanups and at the end of the year when it's time to turn in books and retrieve a year's worth of accumulated junk. Throughout the year, lockers are an intercharggable point of frustration and joy. rustration when they don't open or when someone else has borrowed the book you need. Joy when you can brag on a test score or confide about a new heart throb. Those 'five minutes between classes can sometimes be as long as lifetime or as short as a wink depending on the kind of day you're having. Fred Wheeler and Anthony Bell worked out a system of slewing their gear. Of course, Fred still hauls half of his stuff in a duffel bag. Lockers offer a peak into their owners personalities as well as their priorities. Some lockers are definitely 'message' lockers. --ww. awww :ang The man who can tand doesj unlock every locker is Vice-Principal Cole. It's not always an easy job to deal with recalcitrant locks and irritated students, but the success rate is high enough to make the 'jammed locker excuse a poor one for being tardy or without books. 1 Where did all this junk come from seems to be the leading question during periodic cleanups. Some students are definitely 'neatnicks' while others show a tinge of the highbrow by displaying their choice of reading material. On the other hand, some people actually grow things in their lockersg here, a terrarium left behind at the end of the year. are i Q1 ,salsa C0 How To Keep Step With The Competition Music is the universal language of man and a particular adjunct of the teenage years - often to the despair of adults. This year break dancing, jam boxes and a host of teen idols inspired admiration and imitation here. The Prince Concert on New Years Eve found many Lincoln fans standing in line at Reunion Arena for a concert that proved to be a glorious event. It was also a year filled with school dances which did not always win the administration's approval. In fact, this may have been the last of the rockin' years if school officials stick to a mandate next year that would prohibit or severely limit the kinds of affairs held on school grounds. Most students, however, went more for the traditional type of dancing like Sweetheart Ball held on Valentine's Day fright: Cynthia Davis and escortsb.

Of course we know better and most often we resist the urge, but, oh, the temptation to do otherwise lessens only with the thought of getting caught. The rules are specific, short and not too plentifulg as a matter of fact, they boil down to about five. Junior Nancy Beckham can get into a heap of trouble if she doesn't put the gum away. The no- gum rule is plainly visible in each room's school rules poster. The most likely punishment is having to spit it out before the flavors gone ttopl.

But, says Mrs. McDonald, this year was one of the best pageants. The contestants Were en- thusiastic and there were no hassles. Third runner-up Cynthia Terry added: I had never done something like this before. I'm glad I competed. It was a lot of fun. There wasn't any jealousy among the contestants. It was a very exciting and positive experience for me. Sophomores Brenda Jarrett and Donna Johnson watch from the Wings tlefth. The Winners got much more than trophies out of the contest.

Arrival Of Cap And Gown Evokes Ecstacy, Panic, Relief, Confusion The excitement began in early April when the senior invitations were delivered. The .. read the invitations. It was awesome! For most seniors it was the first time to realize that graduation was really going to happen - SOON! For some it proved the needed incentive to get their academic house in order. But the proof of the pudding came one day in late May when seniors jammed a sweltering lecture hall and anxiously Senior sponsors Eutsey and Jackson unload the gowns Ctopj while Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Johnes and Mrs. Jefferson check sizes tbottomi. ln the end, everything matched.

Kingdoms would have been refused in trade for what was in those crates. Despair and panic hit sponsors and students alike when a couple of gowns were missing. But eventually all 186 students were outfitted in identical garb. Shoulders, arms and hands that had been accustomed to hauling tons of varied items at one time, suddenly seemed capable of carrying only thing - the precious gown. The major concern was to get that gown home without getting even one wrinkle in it. Sometimes that required a team effort ttop lefty There were no written instructions or lessons in how to carry a gown, but the majority of students ended up having theirs slung casually over the shoulder. There also seemed to be an additional swagger in their gait as they walked away from campus, their gowns billowing in the wind behind them tbottomb.

Baccalaureate Marks Senior's Last Visit To School Baccalaureate services marked the last time seniors were to sit as a group of Lincoln students in an auditorium they helped initiate. For this class was the first class to attend the New Lincoln all of their four years of high school. Did they remember what life looked like to green freshmen when they first took their seats at the back of the auditorium four years ago? Perhaps some did. But most, along with their family and friends in the audience, concentrated on the words of the guest speaker outlining the promises and responsibilities of the future.

Although getting and f displaying exhibits is a big part of our job, learning about the humanities and i appreciating their importance in our lives, is ai bigger goal. she says.

After a promising beginning, events took a downswing. The team's biggest problems was a loss of some of its best players early in the season. As Coach Hartford admits, it's hard to get the initiative back in mid-season when your roster has been scrambled around.

This year was definitely payoff time for Coach Daniels and his team, many of them veteran wrestlers who had hit the mat consistently for the last three years. Yet, the Lincoln team was one of the youngest teams to get to state - and the largest. Many wrestlers considered the regional competitions the best match of the year. At regionals, the individual members really got ta chance to shine. At state, a lot of the guys couldn't get it together in the same fashiong maybe we were nervous. It was the first state competition for most of us. explained Virgil Lockhart.
