■ Juniors Stephanie O’Brien, Kriss Kruemcke, and M’Lisa Stolle met outside the school after hearing about the fire. They planned to socialize together on their afternoon off. Krista Swenson and Denise Damstrom, juniors, leave school early after being dismissed due to smoke left from the supply room fire. Students Show Maturity Exiting from Fire At 1:20 p.m.,December 10, 1984, fire drill alarms sounded in Pflugerville High School. Pflugervill Volunteer Fire Department responded to an alarm at 1:20 p.m. on December 10. The fire began in the supply room beside the girls’ restroom across from the homemaking department. The cause of the fire was investigated and later labeled of ‘‘suspicious origin by the Assistant Chief of the Pflugerville Volunteer Fire Department, Ron Moellen- burg. The origin is suspected to be arson, stated Principal Larry Bradley . Within five minutes, the PVFD arrived and the fire was reached by hoses, despite rumors saying that buckets were used. Mr. Moellenburg stated that there was no use for a lot of water in the halls so “the fire was carried outside,” where the items on fire were watered down. Schudents, until that time, had been in- structed to remain on the tennis courts and to stay as far away from the building as possible. Mr. Moellenburg believed tje scjpp; jamd;ed tje omcodemt excellently, and teachers kept the students in order. If a similar situation should occur again, according to Mr. Moellenburg, students should follow instructions of teachers and administrators. We don't need students in the way of the firemen, added Mr. Moellenburg. — by Karen Brown — More Juniors and the entire student body was dismissed at 2:00. School resumed as usual the next day.

Kuekr Stuart Reflects High School Days Remembering when our freshmen foot- ball team destroyed Marble Falls to win district; and when the FFA land judging team won at nationals. GIL literary and One Act Play won as usual. Also as freshmen, we won the Hall Decorating con- tet at Homecoming which continued, and our senior year was our fourth consecutive win. These were events that added to the winning tradition that Pflugerville High School has had for years. That made me proud as a senior, but there are other memories that do not necessarily make me quite as proud although they are still worth remembering. I recall when we were freshmen and students actually dared enough to come to the pep-rallies. However, somewhere down the line the enthusiasm not only went down hill, but it fell off a cliff. Remember all the English stories and plays we read? Like in our freshmen year we read Romeo and Juliet. This may be news to some seniors slept through this and many of the other stories also. Then I recalled to mind all the people and all the crazy things we did. Like when Carrie Spates thought her car was a Four Wheel drive. The so called “Lucky 7 weren't so lucky on the trip to Austin Public Library. Todd Faulk's car blew up and several other people s books were burned. Everyone (or almost everyone) claimed to be the “D'moista. And when the weekends were here, you could hear the seniors cry . . . Let's Partay.” Some of our most treasured memories deal directly with our cars; our most prized possessions. Pflugerville must have had the worst women drivers between Paige Hill, Janna Williams, and Bianca Warren, the world had better watch out. Realizing that 4 years of my life have been spent at Pflugerville High School. And from now on I will be looked upon as an adult. After reflecting on these thoughts I proceeded to get out of bed and go through the everyday morning usuals. But this was no ordinary day for it was “GRADUATION DAY. by Stuart Spoonemore SENIORS 123
