Students In Action Student life included more than the fun. games. and spe- cial programs during school. Many sophomores found this out when they had homework in all six classes. While Juniors prepared for ACT or SAT tests. Seniors were busy corresponding with colleges or businesses de- pending on what their futures held in store for them. Participating in pep rallies. attending football games. and receiving class rings were among the activities exper- ienced by many students. Even though school was a place to learn. it was also a place to socialize and meet new and old friends. A break in the dull routine of classwork - the Houndls Tale provides it. Mark Booth enjoys reading about school life and his fellow students in the bi-weekly publications.

16 Spirit Week Spirit Letis Here It!!! Is that really Mr. Walker in jeans? uAre you sure we can eat lollipops in class today? Strange things happened during spirit week. Many students regressed to their childhood and wore their hair in new and Hdifferent styles. Spirit and pride were shown by all who participated in the week long activities. It was a busy week for all. especially the cheerleaders. If they were not being hunt- ed down for a lollipop. it was for a spirit link. For the first time. they sold links for a spirit chain. The classes competed against each other to see who had made the longest chain. The sophomores came out victorious. The floats had to be finished in time for the parade on Friday afternoon. As usual. the last minute details were completed late Thursday night. The hours of hard work paid off for the juniors; they received first place. The highlight of spirit week was the pep rally on Friday morning. Seniors showed their spirit and. in return. were rewarded with the spirit stick. Even though Fredrick disrupted and caused a schedule change for homecom- ing events. the student body planned around the inconvenience and had a terrif- ic traditional spirit week - from dress-up days to the grand finale. the homecoming dance. What an arm load you have there Elizabeth Edwards. This year for the first time the football cheerleaders sold links to spirit chaines: the class with the long- est chain is the most spirited e the sophomores won. Look! That's Mr. Walker and he's got on jeans! Dur- ing spirit week students dress up in different ways to show their spirit: even the assistant principal shows his spirit. Letis hear that spirit! During footbali spirit week the basketball cheerleaders help out during the pep ral- ly. Robin Copeland is busy showing what she can do. while David Parker and Bobby Murrah watch in the background. Putting on the finishing touches to the junior float are Amy Walker. Sarah Puck- ett. Susan Figueroa and Laurie Grizzard. The interested on-lookers are Craig Miller. David Richards and Vonda Vanderdray. Even the little children are giving it an inspection. Bruce Byrd is the driver who will take the float through the parade.
