It doesn't mat- ter what people say about Sam, wetre just one big happy family. - David Kubinski After the closing of Bowie all 800 sophomores and juniors were faced with the problem of where to go next. Pros and cons of each school were considered repeatedly. Some people wanted to go to Arlington High because all their friends were going there. The majority of the school was torn between Arlington and Sam. It was about the same with me as with everyone else. I had no earthly idea where to go. But when Mrs. Brenda Ingram told the new '83-'84 Bowie Babes that she was going to Sam, the majority of us decided that if we went, we would be together and wouldnit feel as alone. On the first day of school, we all felt like sophomores all over again. We were tardy to most of our classes, but the teachers and students were very supportive, so what we anticipated as a horri- ble experience ended up being great. Now everyone is satisfied, high schools are full, there's a new junior high to ease crowding and we have great new friends that we otherwise wouldn't have had. - Carrie McLaughlin My first day at Sam I spent the entire day trying to find my classes. I had my trusty map and had plotted out the whole day. Trouble was, I didn't allow for the 1800 other students that had also plotted out their paths. Needless to say, my path crossed several times with others. By third period, I was do- ing my best to seek out another lost Volunt- ter. It didn't matter who, if I had ever seen . them at Bowie, it was instant friendship at Sam. Unfortunately, others didn't quite see it that way. After the trauma of the first three classes passed, I began to feel at home at Sam Houston. Everyone was really friendly, and there were few, if any, differences between the situations at Sam j, fl? and Bowie. That discovery, coupled with the less than glowing , W, reports from friends going to other schools, made me sure that I 1 made the right choice. Student l,il'e 'ff . .
