Proud representatives of the Junior class for homecoming are Sandy Ca- siano and Richard Ruedas. Spelling success-J- U-N-I-O-R-S “North, south, east, west, 87 is the BEST!” Throughout the year, the juniors did their best to live up to their class yell. “We’ve got great participation,” bragged class president Suzie Valdez. “We average at least half our mem- bers at class meetings — and that’s un- usual” Float competition was revived for the ’85 football homecoming festivi- ties. “We had never made a float be- fore,” commented Dodi Stout, “and it was more work than we expected, but we had a blast.” The juniors were rewarded for their efforts with a first place finish in the competition and a $25 prize that helped to cover expenses. “Our vic- tory was even sweeter because we beat the seniors,” remarked Shelly Bryant. To add a little excitement to their fund-raising activities for the year, the class decided to hold a car wash con- test between the guys and the girls. The plan called for the two car wash- es to be held on consecutive week- ends with the losing group buying so- das for the winning group. “Having a contest gave us great incentive to work hard,” admitted Jay Petty. “Plus,” added Richard Ruedas, “we wanted to beat the girls because the winning group was promised their pic- ture in the paper.” The boys had one of the most suc- cessful car washes ever, raising al- most $150. Unfortunately, the girls were unable to compete the following weekend due to rain. Numerous con- flicting events for several weeks final- ly caused the girls’ part of the contest to be postponed until the spring. 22-Juniors

“If only I don’t look at them, maybe they won’t taste so bad,” says Annette Llzarraga. As Grace Franco looks on, Annette reluctantly prepares to sample the escargots prepared by Mr. Washing- ton In his French class. After obtaining two cans of expen- sive escargots, Mr. John Washington prepared the delicacy for his stu- dents. “Dianne Hartley’s grandmoth- er Went to France last summer and she brought them back to me,” ex- plained Mr. Washington. “1 wanted to expose my students to something typically French.” And what was his students reaction to tasting the snails for the first time? “They weren’t good but they weren’t bad either,” commented Julie Reyes. As part of a unit on grooming, stu- dents in Mrs. Weisling’s home eco- nomics classes received a demonstra- tion on hair styles and hair care from cosmotologist Anna Morton. Using two volunteers from each class, Mrs. Morton discussed the best hair styles according to an individual’s face shape. “I really liked the style she cut my hair in,” admitted Helen Garcia afterwards. “I’m going to try and keep it cut that way.” As part of a demonstration of hair styles for young people, Jason Medina re ceives a haircut from cosmotologist Anna Morton in his Home Ec. I class. Short stories, essays and po- ems from Mr. Virgil Cork’s ju- nior English classes were submit- ted to literary contests through- out the Southwest. “Making stu- dents aware that their work might be submitted to a contest seemed to motivate them in their writing,” admitted Mr. Cork. Although winners would not be announced until sometime during the spring, Mr. Cork was confident many of his students would receive recognition. “I’m receiving th§ best overall work this year that has ever been done in any of my classes,” said Mr. Cork. “These kids can real- ly write.” Academic Affairs-21
