Though PSJA students ere known to be crazy in their actions, they are certainly not crazy in their styles. PSJA definitely has its share of snappy dressers and swell lookers which can be seen around campus. Wearing stylish fashions seems to be an everyday routine for some at PSJA. One of the most common styles is obviously the Hawaiian look. Along with the traditional Hawaiian shirts comes the new look in Hawaiian dresses. Hawaiian shorts, and Hawaiian beachwear. All these add a little pizzazz to the summertime look. Thanks to the hit movie Urban Cowboy wearing denim jeans, kicker boots. winter rolled in. thick sweaters, pleated skirts, knee-length coats, all accented with high fashion boots, were commonly seen around campus. To enhance the appearance of all these styles, new expressions in hairstyles such as French braids and frizzy hair have stepped in. As you can see.

Volleyball Highlights Fall Sports Sports continues to be one of the major highlights at PSJA as our varsity and junior varsity volleyball teams brought home excellent records this year. The varsity volleyball team took second in district after a tough play-off game with Brownsville Hanna November 4. The Lady Bears won the second half of district competition and landed in the play-offs against the Eagles, first half champs. The team went into the game full of enthusiasm and ready to win. which they did in the first game. 14-12. However. Hanna bounced back to take the next two and the district crown. 15-10 and 15-5. The junior varsity also performed well during the season coming away with the district title with an overall district record of 14-4 and a season record of 23-7. Volleyball member Carmen Hernandez was selected to the All-Valley and All-District Teams this year. Others selected for All-District Teams were Cindy Munoz and Lupita Fonseca. Football also played a big part in the fans' lives this year despite a mediocre 5-5 season. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the season came after the last game when athletic director and head coach Julio Ayala announced his resignation. After six years as the Boars head man. and one district co-championship, the coach, and former PSJA football great himself, hung up his cleats to go into private business. Bear spirit never died during the long football season as loyal fans continued to see their team win against Donna. Corpus Christi Ray. Brownsville Porter. Edinburg and Mission. Losses were to San Benito. Weslaco. Brownsville Hanna. McAllen and Harlingen. Bear basketball also got off to a slow start but picked up speed later in the season for both the boys and girls teams. A further report on these and spring sports can be found in the sports section and at the end of the yearbook in the closing section.
