There Seems To Be One In Every Crowd In every crowd you see at p.s.j.a. there always seems to be an athlete, and FFA member, a T. V. Productions student, here and there, a Thespian or vocational student Teachers, administrators and maybe a counselor are sometimes seen helping students around campus For the athlete, which doesn t only play the roll of a player but is at times committed to another extracurricular activity. Several athletes, both boys and girls are involved in many clubs that are active like student council. Mu Alpha Theta. FHAX or Journalism The Future Farmer of America wears his jacket proudly along with the ever popular ropers You can also see T. V. Productions students around campus interviewing students, teachers, or filming pep rallies and the annual children shows. Thespian members which is one of the largest clubs on campus has over 2000 actors Band members bring out their own kind of music and vocational students are interested in the career of marketing, welding, auto mechanics or appliance repair. Among the crowd of students are teachers and administrators that lend a helping hand. In that crowd the teacher is looked upon to instruct students to make decision or learn responsibility. On the other hand, administrators and counselors are mostly looked upon as people for advice towards graduation requirements and class conflicts. In every crowd at P.S.JA there is that special person who is either a best friend, boy friend, girl friend, the class clown, or that person who always smiles at everybody. There is also that person that makes you laugh and cry for many reasons, and believe it or not there is even an enemy. Whatever the case, there is always one in every crowd. SHARING A JOKE BEFORE CLASS. • For early risers the morning is a good time to exchange a few good jokes. Sustitute teacher Mr. Olivarez and some students enjoy a good conversation before beginning the day. STILLNESS OF THE CROWD • During halftime ceremonies at a football game, the audience breaks for silence. Within the crowd several support the Bears from drama students, a security guard, band members, and even teachers. THE ESCORT Being an escort for over 11 girls can turn our to be pretty fun. Senior Joe Padilla helped as an escort for the Miss Rio Grande Valley Texas Teen CJ.S.A. pageant held in September at Harlingen. There is one in every crowd 9

GETTING TO CLASS ON TIME. Stopping to talk to some friends outside a building or at your locker and trying to get to class on time was a big problem for some students. Winona Moczygemba and Nancy Castor seem to have found a solution: carry all your books. ON TOP OF THINGS. For some students, reading the school rewspaper. The Bear’s Tale, was a good way of knowing what's happening on cam pus. Sophomores Sarah Echevaria and Ysenia Yanez catch up on some current events during their lunch period with the Bear’s Tale. 10 Everyday at P.S.J.A. PASSING TIME. Throughout the day. students seemed to have found some pleasure sitting and talking with one another in the patio area. NO WORK AND NO PLAY. During all three lunch hours many students gathered in the library in hopes of catching up on some homework or studing for a test.
