Student Life at 300 West Baker Road Between the days of Tuesday, September 6. 1988, and Friday, June 2, 1989. the mass of buildings located on a plot of land northeast of latitude 29° 43 minutes and longitude 94° 58 minutes became the setting for the numerous episodes in the lives of Sterling students. Since only a portion of their time was spent in the classroom, their time outside class was occupied by extracurricular activities and events known as “Student Life.’' The events began with the annual Pigskin Pre- view.the first day of school. Soon after, nominations for class officers and for the Homecoming Court were taken during all four lunches. Then Homecoming came and Sherry Larson was crowned Queen at the October 21 football game against West Brook. Homecoming became a memory as spirit focused on Lee Week, which concluded November 4, the night of “The Game”. Later on down the road, after the holiday break and fall semester finals, came the election of class favorites and the Governor and First Lady. As these events approached, blossomed and faded, the end of the year drew near with three traditional senior events occur- ring, the Chicken Fry and the Prom. The third, grad- uation, June 3, officially ended the year with “Pomp and Circumstance,” providing a lyrical ending to the social events of those attending 300 West Baker Road. 8 Student Life
