Just Look Many of the students we see walking the halls of Pflugerville high school are students who have been in the Pfluger- ville school district since kindergarten or first grade. Growing up together gave the students a special friendship only they could share. The students and teachers who have been in the school district for quite a while have seen some very big changes in the way school was taught. Some dis- tinct changes were the size of the school and the number of kids in each class. When the seniors were in kindergarten there was only one school with maybe 12 rooms and all the kids were friends with everyone; times changed, because there are four schools, two of which are ele- mentary schools, and maybe half the stu- dent body was friends with everyone in the school. Everyone is a big number. Twelve years ago there was a maximum of 30 - 40 kids in each grade. Now the maximum, or minimum, is 30 - 40 in At Us Now each class. These were big changes for students who were used to a small, close-knit class that could be considered a family. They had to get used to crowded hall- ways and not as much one-on-one atten- tion as they had with just a few students in their class. There were not only disadvantages to a bigger school system, but also some ad- vantages. It was a chance for big, husky guys to compete in a sport called football and the girls to start participating in sports for girls like volleyball and bas- ketball. The big school system also gave the students a chance to meet new people and make some new friends. Old friend- ships are very special ones, but new ones were just as special. Everyone has gone through changes in their lifetime and there will still be more to come, but until then ... Just Look at us NOW!!! 1. Senior Dawn Betak looks as though she's having a lot of fun working in the office.. Wonder if she had that much fun as a kid? 2. Seems like dolls were only played with by little girls. By carrying around this little egg as her child,” senior Pam Huebner shows there is still a little kid in everyone. 3. Being proud and patriotic is only a small amount of what senior Anthony Wilke learned as a boy. 4. Senior Kevin Collins grew up to be a big boy by eating healthy foods like salad, tea, cokes, potato chips ... 5. Seniors Stephen Noble and Laura Shelton have grown to be good friends over the past 11 years. 6. Little boys dream about policemen, firemen or astronatus when they grow up; senior Edward Priesmeyer dreams of graduating from high school. 7. Tests, quizzes, homework and report cards are almost over for Dawn Garcia as her senior year comes to an end. 8. Senior Karen Brown had left Jeff Garner's mother as a first grade teacher, but tables turned when Garner joined the newspaper staff and had to take orders from editor Brown.
