Junior High Students Demonstrate Leadership Junior High . . . A stage of life where students increase their ability to learn and prepare themselves for the big new world which waits impatiently ahead. Even though crowded, overflowing halls and classrooms were problems which made the days unbearably long, students at Pottsboro Junior High worked together in forming a friendly atmosphere with fellow students and teachers during the 1980-81 school year. Students participated in many events during the year including student council, the PTO Carnival royalty contest, a class field trip to Sherman to hear three state candidates and also a trip to the Sam Rayburn Library in Bonham. Other activities included a UIL contest at Austin college in April and a poster contest for a chili supper sponsored by the student council. Several Junior High students spent the year in anticipation of a summer trip to Washington D.C. being coordinated by Mrs. Willa Dean Smith. A. Gary Day and Kim Rice, 8th graders, were crowned King and Queen of the PTO Royalty contest. B. Angie Anderson, 7th grader, proudly displays her award winning chili supper poster. C.

Spring Brings Excitement to PHS Spring brought a burst of activity to Pottsboro High School. It was started off with a spring dance sponsored by the Junior class to raise money for the Prom. Three FHA girls, Kathy Allison, Renee Prindle, and Lisa Kennon attended the state convention held in San Antonio. They were recognized for achieving the Encounter III Level. They were accompanied by Mrs. Kay Manning and Mrs. Jeannie Guilloud. The coming of spring was also marked by the jitters'. Girls of all ages tried to learn and perfect cheers and chants for various tryouts. Varsity and Junior Varsity cheerleading squads were selected by 60 9b popularity and 40 95 skill. The members of both squads are as follows: Varsity: Glenda Thurston, captain, Becky Smithson, Tracy Fisher, Rhonda Thompson, Janet Garrison, and Leah Deaton. J .V.: Sadie Lewis, captain, Vickie Grace, Angela Bishop, Nancy Clark, Kelly Mitschele, and Angie Morris. While some students were shaking with the jitters, others were bubbling over with excitement. The Pottsboro band was included in this latter group. Members ventured to San Antonio to compete in contest and attend clinics to further their knowledge of band techniques. Members of the Yearbook and newspaper staffs attended the Interscholastic League Press Conference in Austin. PHS students won eight individual awards. Attending the convention were Ailsa Sublett, Pam Shelby, Renee Prindle, Mike Lewis, Debbie Edwards, Laurie Williams, Teresa Holbrook, Tammy McKeefer, Tonya Baker and Cheryl Wright. Mrs. Felecia Garvin and Mrs. Marie Wright accompanied the group. To finish out the year many organizations held banquets to recognize members and those who achieved outstanding accomplishments during the school year. Among the banquets held were the sports, publications, and drill team banquets. In essence spring brings a jumble of feelings from every individual. Some try to think of what classes they plan to take next year, others only think of the fun they'll enjoy in the summer or the dreaded summer job. Then there are still others who finally begin to realize this is the last spring they'll experience in high school and things will never be quite the same. A.
