ife is full of dreams and goals. Set goals and all through life work to achieve those goals. But there are setbacks to blur the vision of g these dreams and , goals. This year our athletic department was hit .hard with the no pass-no play rule. Students who planned to make the senior year of football the best had the vision blurred because they couldn't make the grades. lt was my fault for failing the only thing that bothers me is my parents know that that's the one thing that would make me pass. It's like getting robbed or held up you don't think it'll happen to you and after it does you have a lot to think about, Jeff Bailey, senior, said. We put our children in school not to play but to learnll' Shirley Deal, parent, said. The vision of spirit blurred by the limit of pep rallies. Since there weren't pep rallies for every game there wasn't much spirit shown through the school and I think we need that! Lisa Anderson, senior, said. Last year, Laura Ingram, as a junior, was told she had a form of cancer, this year as a senior, she has not let this blur the vision of her dreams. I admire her for not letting cancer get in her way, Donna Barnum, junior, said. Every student in this school could learn a great deal from her positive attitude and the WAITING FOR THE OPENING At left, top, bulldoz- ers clean up the scrapes from the construction site. They pushed to open the new wing on time. STANDING GUARD At left, bottom, due to no Home- coming parade, some students guard the bonfire close- ly. That is one tradition that I didn't want to break, Heather Olson, senior, said. Guarding the fire are freshmen Rick Edwards, Doug Hinton, Cleet Dodson, Jason Gann and English teacher Judy Hemker. difference that it makesf' Debbie McHenry, senior, said. During the summer, Laura went for treat- ment and tests five days a week for approx- imately two months. Laura's type of cancer is rarely seen. Her chemotherapy treatments were in Houston. Together we can all overcome these blurred visions and put them into a Hawk's line of vision. CUT BACK Due to new laws, students were limited to five' pep rallies. One of these pep rallies was held on the football field where JV cheerleaders show their spirit by doing .a cheer ending in a pyramid. They are ifrom topl Beverly Greenwood, sophomoreg Shannon Miller, Traci Eberle, freshmeng Kesha Johnson, DeAnn Knight, sophomores, Tami Cox, freshman and Trudy Pearce, junior. -ns 'W , M rf ff'-Q ..,s .ing ..,,., opening 5

It was a good year despite all the hardships we faced. We learned to cope with the overcrowding situation and even though the Homecoming pep rally broke tradition, it was- a success. We tried to look past not having a parade and looked forward to having fun. We looked to the humorous side when the student council stayed up all night guarding the bonfire. The week of Homecoming included the usual dress-up days, princess nominations and the crowning of the queen. L'Although the pep rally broke tradition, we still had a lot of fun, Denise Weaver, senior, said. New electives included French and aviation. Study halls were also added. A new student council was formed and we clearly saw that it was a good year for new organizations. I am glad we started an active student council because I felt it helped students a lot, Karena Miller, junior senator, said. Throughout the year, we learned to over- come the obstacles that blurred and even blocked our vision. As Hawks, we followed our line of vision to make it a good year.

OUTDOOR SPIRIT Even though the pep rally was not held downtown, it was still outdoors. The students looked upon it as a chance to have some fun and show their spirit. '
