Ambition knows no bounds: minorities One Halloween, members of the Mexi- can American Club sponsored a haunted house at Anderson Mill Elementary School. The kids became scared as the members created a scary time. One highlight of the event was when a little victim approached Maria Muro, who was in a box with her head sticking out. He got scared and in self defense hit her. ln response, she stood up with her box and came to life, and the little rascal took off like lightning. Being a small club, they had a better chance of becoming closer, stronger and more unified. They met on the first and third Thursday of each month to become more aware of problems that dealt with Mexicans in Round Rock.

Although there were not any black teachers, members of the Afro American met every Thursday with Joe Lee Johnson to discuss their problems. He was like a father to them, because he had been meeting and talking with them ever since middle school. He wanted them to feel like they had someone to turn to it things just didn't go right. We feel that we aren't given an equal opportunity by the student body. All we want is to prove ourselves and be given a chance to be as important as any other student in the school, To prove this we worked toward going to Houston, Theresa Jackson, senior Afro American explained. Seniors in the Afro American Club took the club more seriously than the under- classmen but everyone expressed hisfher views on any subject matter, and was considered special and unique.
