Student Office Aides Require Dedication, Sense of Humor There are aides and there are aides . . . and the 1984 85 school year in- troduced one of the most interesting groups of office aides this school has ever seen. Yes, we really did have some go-getters this year. Ms. Norred and Ms. Wiess hardly ever had to do anything. The aides have even tackled a new job. a job no aide has ever at tempted before. This year they got to stand on top of Mr. Bradley s van and put words on the sign they call the Marquis. Of course, they still did the old jobs such as answer the phones. After a couple of weeks the aides could even handle prank phone calls. There was one incident where an aide answered the phone only to find a heavy breather on the other end of the line. The aide handled this simply by saying “See if I give you an excused absence.” And aides got special privileges too! All aides got to walk in the halls during the time they were working in the office. Have no doubt, after a year of picking up greensheets and retrieving students for Mr. O'Leary, each and every aide knew his way through the halls. Aides were the kinds of students who do any task that was asked of them. They never minded picking up S.A.C. assignments when teachers forgot to send them on time. The aides were also intrusted with many important chores. Sometimes, a teacher asked them to put a note or something into the other teacher’s boxes. This was no easy job. There was no telling how many boxes there were. But rest assured all aides, to the best of their ability, made sure every teacher received what was supposed to end up in their respective boxes. Aides have been known to make mistakes though. On oc- casion,when there were three people on hold, two students looking for counselors, another two students trying to sign-out without permission, and no one else in the office.your average aide might get a little confused. Not to say that Pflugerville High School officeaides were average. They were a step in front of all other aides. As far as future years, the onlyquestion. still in question, will be to aide, or not to aide. By Randy Pogue Randy Pogue uses Mr. Bradley's truck to change the marquis.

(? 4teen£e «ten4 Practice Makes Perfect The 1984 1985 Varsity Cheerleaders started out this year by at tending a summer camp at Southwest Texas State University in San Marcus. The girls were in the top ten out of 120 squads. They practiced in the new gym twice a day during the summer to get down the new cheers that they learned at camp. On occasion, the girls would take a break from practice and surprise the football players with home cooked meals. “It was really fun because the guys acted like they enjoyed and ap preciated what we did for them and we all got to know each other really well, said Junior Jill Eary. Next to the pep rallies, football and basketball games, the cheerleaders were responsible for making the giant run-through signs which took up a lot of their time. Junior Kami Kaatz said, “It took a lot of their time and effort but it was a lot of fun being a Varsity Cheerleader. by Amanda Wade Margaret Morgan The Cheerleaders show their skill to other schools at camp.
