All walks of life were represented at Sterling, and this was no better il- lustrated October 14 when Open House welcomed parents from the three com- munities from which Sterl- ing drew its students: Baytown. Highlands and McNair. Even though each com- munity was distinctly dif- ferent. this annual event was a prime example of how separate units joined together to form a group uniquely known as Sterling. As the evening’s planned activities progressed, parents, students, faculty members and ad- ministrators all shared the common bond of being Rangers. However, most seemed pleased with the communi- ty in which they lived. Michael Cowen, a senior, said. I always hear snide remarks about Highlands but people don’t mean anything by it. it’s just in fun. Nicole McDonald, a senior, added, 'Tve lived there all my life and love it.’’ Michael Auzenne. a senior, felt the same way about where he lived. ’’I don't care about the jokes that are made: I like being in McNair. I have friends around me there. Baytownians felt the same wav about where they lived. Robbie Walker, sophomore, said. “1 like being so close to school. Besides, my friends are never far awav Soon 9 p.m. rolled around and Open House was of- ficially over. As individuals left the building to return to their respective homes, Mrs. janie Christian, assistant principal, concluded. Open House was a great success! 10 Open House

Keeping an old tradition alive, freshmen and sophomores vote on those who will represent them in the Homecoming Court. Sherri Gillum and Sherry Larson, fresh- man and sophomore duchesses respectively, probably agreed that while it was an honor to be in the court, it was even more of an honor to be chosen by their classmates for the posi- tion.
