Process continues on when year begins Once again the hustle and bustle of famil- iar sounds filled the halls when, on Septem- ber 6, 1988, the school year began. Just as with anything new, it took some getting used to when certain things hap- pened that let everyone know that, yes, the 1989 school year had begun. Certain events stood out during those first few weeks. During the first football game, the Rangers scored a 28-0 victory over Brazos- wood, and on October 4, Open House was held from 6-9 p.m. About this annual event, Elsa Bernal, a junior, com- mented. “I brought my parents so they could see my work and meet my teachers. Besides, she added, ‘‘I also got extra credit in Spanish! Parking permits were something else that stu- dents were concerned with. Warnings were is- sued to those who drove vehicles without the re- quired stickers, and on September 26, those cars began disappearing from the parking lots. Tina DcRamus, a se- nior, exclaimed. My car was towed away! 1 was so scared because I was. like ‘Where's my car?’. Before things got too settled, an interruption in the form of Hurricane Gilbert threatened the Texas coast and stu- dents got an unexpected holiday from school September 15-16. Le- wanda Gilbert, a junior, said, “We'd only been in school for less than two weeks, but it was still nice to get a break from the work and have fun. Elizabeth Morgan added, “I thought it was great! I didn't have enough time to get all of my school shopping done so this gave me a perfect opportunity. Finally that familiar feeling appeared as the first six weeks grading period approached. The first 30 school days were over. Jason Faulk, a se- nior,said. “I know this is my last year and I like being a senior. Every- thing started out real well and I'm sure eve- rything will end well.” Am • result of not having a park Ing sticker, some cars are towed off campus. Mrs. Sandy Huff, se- curity guard, assists Mr Dickey Dunman of Dickey's Towing Ser- vice In taking Shelly Tinsley s car out of the school parking lot Shelly stated. I was so embar- rassed!
