We trf A Little Howdy Ir. . Better Than oHo d Sing, sophomore! The words were dreaded by the sophomores as they began their journey from being mere Mickies to full fledged Texans and also by juniors who watched their step for fear of being made to sing by seniors roaming the halls. Although many had feared for the life of Howdy Day because of the new education bills, the day proved to be alive and well at Sam Houston as students loaded all the initiations they could into the time they had. Student Congress members worked many hours to prepare for the long an- ticipated day, but in the end it all paid off. Making the Howdy Day stuff was really time consuming, but it was all worth it because Howdy Day was a suc- cess, commented Student Congress secretaryjennifer Buster. Howdy Day has come to mean something to everyone at Sam. To seniors, it means the chance to dish out what they have taken for so long and for juniors it is the first opportunity to initiate the underclassmen. To sophomores, it means something different. Perhaps Dina Thomas said it best when she wrote, I went home, and started to throw my 'Mickey' ears away, but I could not! I had to keep something to remind me of all the things a sophomore goes through. But by the time I'm a senior in '87, those lit- tle sophomores better watch out!

On the first day of school, students and teachers were greeted by the sight of construction workers, as well as the sounds of hammers and drills. The workers set to the task of remodeling part of the southwest wing of the school and also building a new facility specially designed for handicapped students. Accomodations were expand- ed for both the journalism and Photography Departments, adding space as well as equipment. Although the photography room was completed late in january, the jour- nalism room and handicapped wing were still under construction, and not expected to be ready until the next school year. The wing designed for disabled students will allow them to learn in an environment suitable to their needs Ramps and other equipment will help these students to become more mobile as well as capable to interact with students in other parts of the school. juniors Eric Borton and Greg Overstreet enjoy the new darkroom facilities.
