December overflowed with Christmas parties and drives for the needy. Student Council sponsored the annual canned food drive and a SCORE week to educate the school on birth defects. January rang in the new year and the coldest weather of the season. Students trudged through the mud to the annex, anxiously awaiting the comple- tion of the new wing. February brought the tradi- tional nervousness of girls who got their chance to ask the guys to the FHA banquet. Drama and FHA presented a dinner theater, a different kind of entertainment for our commu- nity. March blew in with U.f.L. competition and track season. Spring break offered relief from academic pressures, and the end of school was suddenly in sight. April meant work for Seniors as they began preparing for graduation. Campaign posters covered the halls as organiza- tions held their officer elec- tions. Several classes held fund-raising activities which included tennis shoes sales and a faculty-student basketball game. May was full of end-of- school activities which cli- maxed with graduation. Upper- classmen anxiously awaited the Junior-Senior Banquet. The immediate future was deter- mined for most underclassmen — things would be much the same as before. The seniors looked ahead with anticipation to the uncertain future of col- lege. careers, and adulthood. Interests were not confined only to school activities, but broadened to state and national affairs. Texas elected a Repub- lican governor for the first time in over one hundred years.
