l l l Members ot the student body enjoyed dancing and what else was better to do at a Homecoming dance than to dance to the Cotton Eyed Joe. Concentration is the key as Bridget Smith, Knight editor, designs a page tor the yearbook. As editor, Bridget helps decide the book tormat. Another facet of being a Knight was the ability of McCallum students to show their individualism in both school and extra-curricular activities. Students showed their individuality in the way they dressed, talked, and by their different actions. Whether a student wore Calvin Klein jeans or Big Mac overalls, spoke English or Spanish, he was a very serious student or one who joked around a lot, all were encouraged to show their uniqueness from other students. Students could be found in the library or in a classroom, getting extra help from either another student or teacher. School was not the only place that individualism was shown. The choice of work and friends made each student part of the crowd or just an individual. It did not matter at McCallum if a student was a quarterback or a band member, he was still an individual. Trying to win the spirit stick, members ot the band Kathy Panak, Laura Butord, and Caroline Frommhold yell lor the band. As a member ol the band, Gail Gardener concentrates on her tlag as she marches up to the stands at Burger Center belore the Travis game. Opening 5
