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.

Bigger . Better! Bigger and better — these are two words that definitely could be used to describe the 1985-86 Spanish Club. Larger than ever before, the club had a total of 85 members and two sponsors, both of whom were new to Pflugerville High School. When the students were told about the exciting things planned for the year, they joined left and right and waited for the activities to begin. All the different activities were fun because all the members were involved. That's what made the club such a success, said junior Shannon Lee, club president. At the beginning of the school year, many of the members met at La Mesa restaurant. The idea be- hind the get together was for everyone to get a taste of Old Mexico. Another fun-filled event that took place was a trip to San Antonio in December. The group vis- ited the Institute of Texas Culture and had the chance to eat and shop in the Spanish Market. Then everyone loaded back on the bus and were taken to the famous San Antonio River Walk and rode the riverboats. After the boat ride, the stu- dents participated in Las Posadas, which involved a Mexican singing group. The exhausting day ended with a bus load of sleepy students returning home dreading having to get up and go to school the next morning. The club also joined with the drama classes and sponsored a Christmas dance to raise money for future club functions. Many of the students brought Christmas lights and tinsel to decorate the commons. The dance turned out to be very profit- able Eighty-five active members meant that the club could be, and would be an influencing factor on P.H.S. This was our first year with the club and we enjoyed it and are hoping for an even better year in the 1986-87 school year, stated Nedra Vance and April Nevill, club sponsors. Foreign Languages 1.
