The Summer That Soared Always remember that wonderful trail of golden memories that lead back to the summer of 1980. Think back to the end of May when at the glorious ring of the early dismissal bell, school had come to a close. There were joyous shouts heard from all about and dashes for the exit doors. While leaving school that day, one saw faces shining with tears and a few with gratifying cheers. Heartfelt sighs came from passing teachers for the three-month freedom bestowed upon them. For students summer was spent in several exciting ways. Recall if you will, the days you practically lived in the swimming pool, and it felt so good to cool yourself during that ferocious Texas heat wave. lt didn't matter to some, because they were determined to enjoy their vacations. Most folk traveled to various scenic spots within the Texas border, but a few traveled to other parts of the country for their fun and relaxation. More active persons enjoyed their rest period by going horseback riding. Still there were those who awoke at dawn to jog a mile or two with a tennis game to follow. Quite often a common sight was the bikers, rolling down the neighborhood streets. Humorous as it may seem, these riders came in sets. There was always the lonely rider, then the two- seater, and of course the family pack, which contained all the relatives big and small, from three month old junior to good ole grandpa, who amazingly seemed to be always in the lead. But summer wasn't all fun and games to some North Garland students. Some were devoted enough to attend lectures at publication workshops at the Universities of Oklahoma and Texas Tech to provide North Garland with a better newspaper and yearbook. The cheerleaders and the Mam'seIles went to workshops to help learn how to keep the team spirit going. Student Life MAM'SELLE officers perform a routine for freshmen at orientation.

At fast food places, one was likely to find a friend or two working behind the counter as a cook or waiter or at a local grocery store as a checker or a sack boy. Outdoor students often were found working on ranches or serving as lifeguards at a local pool. The variety of jobs seemed endless. By and by as summer vacation came to an end, registration days had crept up sooner than expected. This year's registration was totally different from the years before. Instead of everyone signing in, in the main hall, registration was arranged to be held in the girls' gym. By entering from the west door, all one had tc do was follow the arrows to the correct tables. Then one found oneself registered complete with pictures for the identification cards and for the yearbook taken in th process. In the many years to come come rain or come shine, think back to those golden days of yore, of those happy days of summer that just seemed to soar. t x tn 5 Z5 a

Labor Day Heat Rises Labor Day was not just a day of rest in Garland. lt was a weekend of sleep and going to the lake, but it also brought the Jaycee Jubilee Festival including a parade, a carnival, and the Junior Miss Pageant. During the morning was the parade in which efforts of North Garland students were revealed through several organizations. The Band marched and played the music entitled t'Seahawk. Drum Major Chris Knighten stated, The band looked very good although we did have a few problems. The Mam'selles wore sailor-styled uniforms and did a march routine to the music Popeye Because there were no judges, the Mayor's Cup was not awarded to the best high school drill team. North Garland Cheer- leaders found a new way to spread Raider spirit throughout the parade route. They used gocarts, stopping at different intervals in the parade to lead cheers. Heat was a major factor in the parade. The temperature was 95 degrees plus when the parade started at 10 a.m., and was well beyond 100 degrees before the parade route was complete. Highlight of the weekend was the junior Miss Pageant, also sponsored by the Jay- cees. Enthusiastic girls from North Garland competed with girls from other Garland High Schools. Girls spent time together and Student Life made new friends. Lisa Boone commented, Working as close together and as we did, we met a lot of people. The girls from North Garland who competed were Kori Collins, Lisa Corder, Lynette Mitchell, Debbie Ragle, Lisa Baskin, Leigh Underwood, Regina Reimer, Sheila Sudderth, Lisa Boone, Amy Fowler, and Robin McDonald. For the Monday evening competition,entertainment consisted of everything from dancing and acrobatics to prose interpretation and singing.

Toward the end of the evening, time had come for the finalists to be announced. Four of the finalists represented North Garland High School. These girls were Debbie Ragle, Regina Reimer, Kore Collins, and Lisa Corder. Then came the final moment when the tense anxiety in the air could be felt, and the winners were announced. Debbie Ragle was fourth runner up. Lisa Corder was third runner-up, followed by Regina Reimer as second runner up.
