NO BABY ON BOARD Sign Of The Times Bumper Stickers, Window Signs Reveal Driver ' s Thoughts Window signs and bumper stickers entertained or aggravated drivers following closely enough to read such declarations as Child on Board , No Child on Board , Ex-husband in Trunk , Aggie on Board (which hung upside down in the rear win- dow), Born to Shop , and Party Animal . The yellow ' hang signs ' began with Child on Board in 1985. By the next year the signs were one of the hottest trends in America. However, the messages veered off in all direc- tions. . For years bumper stickers had ad- vertised school mottos, cultural mes- sages, and given drivers a way to ad- vertise their feelings. When the win- dow signs came along, it was a natu- ral progression from ' seriousness ' to ' silliness ' .

It was kind of a ' monkey see, monkey do ' situation, Fred Weber said after working as a debate tour- nament time-keeper three years ago. He liked what he saw and became involved in Mrs. Dina Richmond ' s debate class his freshman year. With 73 wins and 13 losses, Fred is enthusiastic about Lincoln-Douglas style debate. He attends two or more tournaments a month from Novem- ber through April traveling from Pleasanton to Victoria to Edna and schools in between. Fred prepares from two weeks up to two months before a contest. Some events take up to 15 hours of work preparing 3x5 note cards from maga- zines, newspapers and television. I ' m more open minded since debat- ing, he said. I look at things both ways. Whether he draws pro or con, Fred must be able to defend his position persuasively and dynamically. The hardest part of debate is trying to argue when you have no idea what you ' re arguing about, he claimed. During school hours when he ' s not working on debate, he is involved in Student Council, National Honor Society, athletics, and he works as Junior Class Vice-President. Rais- ing money for the prom is our biggest job in the Junior Class, he sighed. Champion Fred Weber debates an issue to the judges during the Luling practice meet. c Fred Weber Succeeds In Speech Contests JUNIORS 69
