Seniors and juniors try to make the new sophomores feel welcome on their first day of school at Sam Houston. . ,li ' i l 2 fl i . K Tiki H 4 Sam Cho en Over Uthers The summer was great. Wet'N Wild, the new water park, was a terrific place to hang out. A large crowd could always be found at the drive-in at nights. Many Texans took vacations to various places, such as Florida and the coast. Too soon the sum- mer came to an end. Once again students had to start the daily routine of going to school. The beginning of the school year brought with it new changes and new students. The enrollment was enlarged due to the closing of Sam's neighbor, James Bowie High School. Sam Houston was the school chosen by many. Sam has a better attitude about gaining new students. They were glad to have us. That was a feeling of senior Laurie Haragan. She and others had no regrets about their decisions. Sam was excited and glad to have Bowie students. I was glad to meet new people and have new friends, said Mark Miller. Texans welcomed the Vols with friendly smiles and a helping hand. Everyone adjusted well, and school X started off as usual. The sophomores were soon 'tmade a part when Howdy Day finally rolled around. The beginning of school was different, but it led to the understanding of unity. The students have all combined to be one at the proud school. As said before, There are no strangers in the halls of Sam Houston. Student Life 9
