hese special times made the school what it is today. The theme of the 30th anniversary celebration was just an echo of what McCallum has always been, a Tradition of Excellence. We were a part of that 30-year tradition. Those little extras-such as pep rallies and dances gave us an added incentive of pride and spirit. Even though we were one of the smallest high schools in Austin, our spirit of togetherness and caring was as much a part of the school as was the fight for the victory bell in the traditional Mac!Travis football game. We won the bell by shutting out our 30th anniversary sister school, 33-0. Our pride shown. We watched Austin grow, and wondered about our environment. We watched Austin begin its long Congress Avenue beautification project. We saw a Democratic governor take the oath of office in Ianuary. Mark White beat incumbent governor Bill Clements, the only Republican governor Texas has had in over 100 years. After years of work, Loop 360 opened to give Austinites an easy access from Highway 183 North to Highway 290 South. lt was a year of progress. To celebrate 30 years at Mac, PTSA members worked months to give a peek into history. March 6 was set aside for a special celebration and a trip back through memory lane. It was a historic day as alumni, ex- faculty and administrators all visited the school to celebrate 30 years of excellence. True blue Blue Brigade members gave their share of charm and enthusiasm to football games and other sports events. In February, they sponsored the traditional Beauty Revue.

What week MAYOR CAROLE McCLELLAN is welcomed by sophomore john Kitto Homecoming festivities were always the highlight of the football season. Many different things went on during Homecoming week. One of the big events was the dress-up days. The categories of these days were Country Western day, 50's day, Punk Rock day, Mix and Match day, and closing out the week was Hawaiian, Aloha Anderson day. All classes also had an opportunity to show their class spirit by decorating their designated section of the main hall, excluding the seniors. They decorated the cafeteria, forming the lunch tables into an '83, Another big event was the Homecoming parade. Each club or organization had an opportunity to create a float. There were categories for the floats such as biggest, smallest, and most original. This year was the first year Student Council sponsored a parade. Mayor Carole McClellan, an alumni of McCallum, attended to help celebrate the 30th anniversary festivities. During the pep rally, other alumni were introduced. After all the weekly festivities, Student Council sponsored the annual Homecoming dance. The dance was very successful due to all the events and a prior defeat of the Trojans. Throughout Homecoming week, students contributed and celebrated homecoming, along with the faculty, parent, and former McCallum students. Homecoming festivities ended with a week of remembrances.
