CZhoir: A Great Beginning Beginnings . . . New ideas . . . High hopes . . . With the start of any new or- ganization, there is always a mixture of fears, laughs, and great expectations. The new Choir Department of Pflugerville High was no exception. With so many students from the very first day of school, the choir had gained the respect of the student body and the faculty alike. Performing three major concerts dur- ing the year, as well as having represen- tation in UIL Solo-Ensemble Contest and the TMEA All-State Auditions, the choir members improved vocally, grasped the concepts of singing as an ensemble, and learned cooperation and acceptance. We worked hard to achieve greatness. This greatness is the result of the hard work and dedication of both the director and choir members. This reflects charac- ter, leadership, scholarship and an atti- tude for achievement. These create memories that last a lifetime . . . by Ken Steele 1985-86 Choir: First row: Todd Blackhurst, accompanist, Mickie Tennies, Pam Turner, Kristin Stine, Carmen Arendt, Kelly Crawson, Stacy Boecle, Hildelisa Sanchez, Suzanne McNutt, Belen Bray, Amber Thompson, Kristin Kroski, Tonya Howell, Mr. Ken Steele, director.

Chapter Garners Awards The 1985-86 year was a very good year for the Future Farmers of America. They start- ed off the year by beginning their produc- tive project. This is the project students must do which includes growing a plant or raising some type of livestock. By the end of the first semester the stu- dents in FFA had raised their productive projects enough to take them to the pros- pect livestock show. These are livestock shows that have no significant value except for practice for the upcoming district shows. The livestock shows Pflugerville students attended were the Fort Worth Show at the end of January, San Antonio in the Middle of February, Houston at the end of February and Austin in April. After all of these shows they met for the district ban- quet and awards ceremony, where many Pflugerville students received awards. The area convention and banquet in San Marcos was in the middle of May, and FFA students also won awards there also. The FFA students attended the state con- vention in Amarillo in July where they again competed for awads. We've enjoyed another challenging and successful year and I am looking forward to continuing the tradition of FFA in Pflugerville for a long time ' commented Gerald Wilke.
