Homecoming plans change with Weather Homecoming week provided an air of excitement that brought out school spirit in all. This was a week that was highlighted by special dress worn by the students, faculty and administration each day. On Monday, sunglasses and hats were worn, Tuesday, colorful and imaginative buttons were shown off, Wednesday provided a chance to wear formal dress, t-shirts and club shirts were worn on Thursday, and Friday was maroon and white day. Also on Friday, mums and boutonnieres were delivered during the students' fourth and fifth period classes. Unfavorable weather conditions dur- ing Homecoming week resulted in the Homecoming parade and candlelight pep rally cancellation. Due to the hard work and effort that various clubs and classes put into their floats, the few completed floats were judged before school on Friday. The Sophomore Class came away winners of the class competi- tion for their sailboat float. In the club competition, the German Club's castle float won while the National Honor Society took second with their banner on skates. Friday's pep rally was one of the best ever at Round Rock, boosting the stu- dent's morale higher than ever. The Dragon varsity football team, however, ended up with the short end of the stick in a tough game versus Spring Westfield. The Dragons played well throughout the game, but their hard work and determination was not enough to overcome that of Westfield. Even with the loss, there was a rather large turn out at the annual after-game Homecoming dance. Many students showed up to hear the latest and most popular songs as the celebration of Homecoming came to an end. Probably the most important element of this year's successful Homecoming was the involvement of Student Coun- cil. Many different committees were set up to make all the arrangements for the various events going on during the week. Meetings were held by the committees in addition to the regular Student Council meetings to make sure the work was being done. Tasha Smith, senior, and her father, Jack Smith, show their excitement as Tasha is named Homecoming Queen for the 1984-85 school year. l'7 Student Life Traci Smotherman, junior, works on the Spanish Club float. Unfortunately, rain destroyed the float before judging began. A new addition to Homecoming week was a spirit sign.

Two-assembly talent show raises money The annual sophomore talent show was held in a different manner this year. Instead of having just one show, two shows were held because there was not enough room in the girl's gym to hold the entire student body at once. The show was sponsored by the sophomore class in an effort to raise money for the prom. The major emphasis in this year's show was on musical performances. All acts dealt with music in one form or another. The show included rock groups, break dancers, individual singers, dancers and imitations of Prince and Van Halen. Before the end of the show, Hugh Lewis from 24 Action News joined Glen- da Bolt, president of Students Against Driving Drunk, and Sam Todd, the club sponsor, for a presentation on the dangers of drinking and driving. Glenda gave an emotional talk about her brother's death due to a drunk driver, which not only brought tears to her eyes but also those of several other students. After the show, SADD members passed out Contracts For Life to the student body. Chris Smith, senior, sings a song he wrote and dedicated to his girlfriend Hope Carter, freshman. 4 Glenda Bolt, sophomore, and Sam Todd, SADD sponsor, deliver the 'tDon't drink and drive message to the students. Senior cheerleaders Shelley Kruemcke, Cindy Olson, Meg Barbini and junior cheerleaders Laura Duke and Sandra Hrna wonder if their per- formance was a success. 14 Student Life
