We are unique Unlike many other “school families,’ our family pulled to- gether to solve problems and to help each other out. One fine example of this was dur- ing the North Mes- quite Mesquite game. Even though our football team lost, we were there fighting every step of the way. Mesquite High school had many different kinds of peo- ple. We had the preps, the new wavers, the athletes, the cheerleaders, the all stars, and many other types that weren't easily classified. | Opposite Page: Dana Derinwater showed her spirit during football sea- son by running around the lunchroom with the other B-Drillers. Above Middle: Lynn Harill socialized while she took treatment in the train- ing room. Lower Left: Sophomore, Jody Prestridge worked hard on the index of the 1987-88 Mesquite-O. We found that our differ- ences were really what helped blend us together. It wouldn't have been too exciting if we were all the same — so we willingly enjoyed our individu- ality. The fact that a ‘‘roper’’ and a “‘punker’’ could be the best of friends at MHS truly made us unique. Above Left: Junior, Robert Donehoo entered the Talent show with his own rock band. Above Right: Sophomore B-Drill class fourth period do their daily workout. Lower Right: Senior D.J. was elected as Powderpuff king. He seemed really happy about the decision!
