 afA uwiectt Seniors Set Free to Explore Capitol The government classes went on their one and only field trip last spring to visit the state capitol and the Texas Supreme Court System. Our first stop was at the courts — The Supreme Courts as a matter of fact. The case was kind of con- fusing at first because we came in during the middle of the trial. We later found out it was about a car acci- dent. It definitely was not that exciting. Not as exciting as the other court, the Court of Criminal Appeals. That case was about a young guy convicted of murder and how the jury has changed their minds. After about an hour of the courts we finally made our way over to the capitol. Once we got there we had a choice of going on a tour or to go around on our own. Senior Jenny Stroud and I decided to go on our own. While we were walking around taking in the sites my cousin walked up to us and asked us if we would like to see where she worked. Her office just happened to be in the government office. It was so incredible. We just couldn't believe our eyes because it was so large and well equipped with everything that one needs. The Representatives offices came next. They were so small and some representatiaves even shared of- fices. After our wonderful encounters with the “big guys” we ran into a few girls from school sitting around in the bathroom having a hard time with the cleaning lady trying to vacuum. By now it was about time to come back to school, so we had to bring our wonderful trip to an end. Karen Zwerneman. Alan Monzmgo. Mehardad Sharif. Greg Mitchell. Seniors Jill Young.

tyieett-'ftycuuC 7 Freshman West Young shows his version of a chicken walking up stairs. Most of the FFA students will agree when you say that the funniest day of the year in Ag. is greenhand initiation day. This is when the first year Ag. students wear their clothes inside out and have to do things for the veteran Ag. students all day. For example, they have to run through the halls screaming air raid and falling on the floor shooting at the air. Some have to entertain the students at lunch by singing old hits like I'm a Little Tea Pot. For each stunt the greenhands receive a signature by veteran Ag. students. At the end of the day they must have received at least 20 signatures. Greenhands. freshman West Young. Shannon Lmdcrgen. Gregory Fors. Kevin Terry. Grant Henning. D Lisa Schlab.
