TRADITION FILLS STUD E NT HIGHLIGHTS Wendy Walsh crowned Queen 20 Governor Hebert First lady elected 24 Steve Stewart looks clean but... 26 John Dizon leads class 36 Student activities we senior Chicken Fry, Week were just a few. But with these activities came new ones, which if carried on will begin new traditions. The Victory Dance, Valentine Dance and Valentine messages that were flashed across the new computer displayed in the commons were just a few of the first time events. In addition to the new computer in the commons, a mirror was in- stalled giving students an op- portunity to see themselves as others did and begin the traditional saying: How do numerous. The annual Homecoming and Lee you reflect upon R.S.S.? Between the old and new events, students lives were filled with excitement. During the traditional Lee Week pep rally (right) students were able to express their school spirit through the use of posters and appropriate at- tire. Ranger Twirp activities gave students a break from the same school routine and gave dating partners re- versed roles. Combining both events resulted in a unique blockbuster of a year. 8 • Student Life

Defining the Personalities Before school or at lunch you con find different people ot the Skate Machine. Whether they ate there for the 3Sminute lunch break or for |ust hanging around In the mornings, per- sonalities such os Robin Morton. Curtis Furlow and John Kojack ore displayed there just like they ore ot other places around the campus Photo by R. Morin As Cindy Molina and Rhonda DcSnlme sit in the library, they take a look at the 'new Houston Post, with Its wide variety of graphics and distinc- tive colors. The daily paper, which began featuring the new look December 5. 1983. Is now owned by the same corporation that operates the Toronto Sun. Photo by R. Morin Everyone has his own style of doing things and some were more unique than others. How- ever, each person’s style and his friends whose interests were similar made them members of loosely jointed “groups” with distinct characteristics. Many times clubs, such as Keywanettes and An- chor Club, threw people together. Mandy Young commented. When I was a junior, I got into J.R.A.'s and from that I've made a lot of close friends. Other students who were members of school organizations like orches- tra and band naturally gravitated toward each other when they met in their respective rooms each morning before school. Getting in shape and spending time with people of a similar mind were Todd Hebert. Mike Marlow and Bobby Lewis. Toby Taylor another football player, added. My friends and I look out for each other and we don't do things the crowd does; they don’t influence us. Then there are those whose personality defied classification who could be seen at various times of the day staking their claim in certain specific areas of the commons. Whether studying in- tently for that test next period, or listening to a friend's jam box or looking at additions in the display cases, the commons pro- vided a view of all the dif- ferent types of Sterling personalities that were prevalent in 1984. 10 «Personalities
