' 87: A Record Year Outstanding accomplishments from a broad spectrum of students made 1987 a record year. Highlighting this year, thirteen students placed in district UIL lit- erary events, winning sweep- stakes, and advanced to Regionals in Kingsville, where Kalene Cor- ner and Kristi Kneupper qualified for state. The year also involved a lot of first times . This was our initial year in a new and more competi- tive district. Students also were able to enjoy a first time comput- er-quiz experience. A computer trivia contest was held in October and again in April. Volunteers met after school from 4-7 p.m. answer- ing, as quickly as possible, ques- tions covering literature, science, math, and social studies. The first group scored 13th out of 36 schools. Manuel Rolan, senior, was our first exchange student from Spain. Even though his host family lived in Lockhart, Manuel attended school here because Mr. Bill Long, his host father, taught here. A new enrollment record was also set. There were 401 students enrolled; last year there were only 376 students. For the first time a Vocational Office Education student qualified for National Competition, Mi- chael Isbell, senior, and Mrs. JoAnn Glass, sponsor, went to Des Moines, Iowa, in May. Seniors Nicky Alexander and Wanda Chase are representing the Senior class of 2 STUDENT LIFE
