Fran to. week Even though Sterling didn’t win “The Game.” which enabled Lee to go to the playoffs, the Classic Ranger Pride Inside was visible throughout the week. This was evident as the popular Guess apparel set the theme for a Gander-hunting week in which the theme was “Guess What’s for Dinner?” In the showdown, all hope wasn’t lost until the final 17 seconds of the game when a key running back, who had already made two touchdowns, fumbled the punt return and Lee recovered it. A touchdown at this point would have caus- ed a tie or insured a win for the Rangers if the extra point was made. Eugene Wilson, a senior, explained, “I was nervous before the game. I wanted to do good. When it was over, I couldn’t believe it; we lost to Lee. It ruined my whole weekend.” Early Friday morn- ing. on game day, the halls were cluttered with poster paper and paint, empty Mr. Donut boxes, plastic spoons, forks and knives, and students transforming their respective halls into distinct versions of Guess What’s for Din- ner?” The juniors, who won the hall decorating contest, depicted the Guess theme in four stages in preparing a meal. Hunt Down. Pluck and Cook the Ganders were the first three stages, followed by Guess What’s for Dinner? Leo Week

The Rangers had already fallen victim to two district opponents and hopes of possible playoff contention were all but gone. However, besides being Halloween, it was also Homecoming. The spirit and the half- time festivities made for a memorable game as the Rangers went on to triumph over Pasadena 35-19 and Ronda Gillum was crowned queen. The Homecoming court, which was com- posed of all cheerleaders, was the highlight of the ceremonies. Ronda. a senior, was crowned queen after being a court member for four years. It was the most exciting feeling I’ve ever ex- perienced. I was so honored. I can’t ever remember being so hap- py. exclaimed the new queen. The band and Stars also helped make the event special. Once again, the teams combined efforts to commemorate the ’86 Texas Sesquicentennial. While playing a medley of Texas songs, a giant Texas flag was formed. This brought both sides to a standing ovation in honor of the state’s 150th birthday. Homecoming also brought a welcome start to the most anticipated time of the year. Lee Week. The spirit pro- moted bv the win multiplied numerous times and set the stage for the cross-town show down the next week. Among band and Star members. Dana Barrett and her stepfather.
