Below, hundreds of fairgoers gathered for a day of food and festivities as the 60 foot giant wel- comed them to the 100th year of the fair. I've been going to the fair since I was about one, only a few things have changed since then. They've tak- en away the roller coast- er, but basically they have the same things going on, said junior Laura Olson. Among other differ- ences, the prices were higher and security was She stands as a wel- come to weary travelers. She measures feet tall and is dressed in a brand new outfit. She is the symbol of hope and freedom. She is the Stat- ue of Liberty and 1986 saw her 100th birthday as America's favorite daughter.

Approximatly 16 years ago corny dogs were only 50 centsg this year they were 51.50. Also, the gate price jumped from two dol- lars to five dollars. It was more expen- sive this year. Also, there were more police - I guess because of the stabbings and mug- gings from last year, said sophomore Stacy Clark. To celebrate the 100th birthday of the fair, some buildings were re- painted, a parade was held, and fireworks were displayed. Every- one there was friendly and considerate, and the grounds were nice. I ex- pected both to be much worse, said junior Jason Poehler. In a new shirt, Wran- gler blue jeans, western boots, and a 75 gallon cowboy hat, Big Tex stood as a symbol of 100 years of Texas tradition. up. It was spectacular to witness such a momen- tous occasion, senior Melissa Jenke said. The dramatics of the Statue of Liberty's birth- day celebration rivaled that of the nation's bi- centennial. New York Harbor was a mass of some 20,000 seagoing vessels. A massive fire- works display com- memorating the event happened both Friday, July fourth, and Satur- day, the fifth. The Lady would not have been ready for her party if it were not for the efforts of various na- tional and local organi- zations.

It was a great feeling, and it real- ly raised school pride to raise the money with the help of the school and community., said sen- ior Key Club president Tony Gibbs. Many oth- er events such as celeb- rity and corporate dona- tions and the selling of special coins also contri- buted heavily to the res- toration of the Statue of Liberty. Once again, Lady Li- berty stood as a greeting to foreign immigrants and native travelers abroad. The Statue of Li- berty has stood for li- berty for 100 years and, with all hopes, at least 100 more.

Two hundred years ago a group of men in- cluding Thomas letter- son and John Adams burned the midnight oil. Their purpose was to write a basic set of laws for their homeland, the United States of Amer- ica. These laws were list- ed in the Constitution, which has remained The Law of the Land. Learning about the Constitution is one of the most important things in school, said Jeff Thomas, a sopho- more. You have to know what rights you have after you leave school. To plan the celebra- tion of the Constitu- tion's two hundredth birthday, President Rea- gan approved a special commission headed by former Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger. Part of the cele- bration included an es- say contest for high school students. Since its original form in 1787, the Constitu- tion has experienced lit- tle change. Only twen- ty-three amendments have been added. The Constitution, said senior Kenny Gos- sett, is a brilliant docu- ment and, remarkably, it has withstood the tests of time for so many years. ACADEMIC DECATHLON MEMBERS Trung Nguyen, junior, and Danny Ramsey, senior, study the Constitution. It was the topic of the team's Super Quiz at regional compe- tition. 2.0 sTUDENT LIFE 2
