Not only is it our 20th anniversary, but it cele- brates the 400th anniversary of our city, El Paso. Weive come a long way in 20 years and El Paso has grown a lot in 400. When students returned last Sep- tember, they found new friends, new teachers, new projects, new rou- tines, and new rules. We elected a new president, caught an early winter snowfall, and 10 took tests with too many initials to mention. The band practices, Burger King meetings, homecoming decorations and the clean-up afterward also made the year special. Many of the things we did this year we probably took for granted, never thinking that students twenty years ago didn't get to do many of these things. David Howell puckers for a picture

Each year, students go through the process of moving from grade to grade starting as freshmen then ending as seniors. From year to year, the feelings of students change as more responsiblity is forced upon them. FRESHMEN-They are usually in a daze as to what is going on with- in the school. They find new teach- ers, a new building, and an atmo- sphere which is totally different from anything they have known be- fore. They are looked upon as being immature. SOPHOMORESMAS a sopho- more, one tends to be a little more mature. The school atmosphere is more relaxed and their responsibil- ity is slowly becoming more impor- tant. Each year high school becomes more fun. JUNIORS-The anticipation of getting out of high school grows and grows. Next to the senior year, the junior year is the funnest. They run the prom: many start driving on their dates: and they realize that they are in their next-to-the-last year. SENIORS-As seniors they are at the top. Everybody is under them and they are restless, waiting for graduation to come. This is the last year for everything: the prom, homecoming, football games, and finally their last classes. After graduation, the new gradu- ates will remember how much fun high school was. 12 -n! ' Members of the freshman class listen attentively at their first class meeting.
