YMWV t Sam students tried their best to make a dif- ference in school t spirit, no matter what the obstacles. Perhaps, '6No Pass, No Playw was the most difficult adjustment for students to make. The ruling, which took effect at the end of last year, restricted participation in extracurricular activities. c p T f Another obstacle in their path was theilimited days withaltered schedules. Because of this rul- ing, many pep rallies had to be held before and after school. For students who participated, the Sam spirit paid off when the Texan football team tied Arlington to knock the Colts out of the playoffs. ' r p i ,Also creating ia problem for a majority of students was heavier academic loads with jobs on top 'of that. It limited their time to studying and working. Sometimes they event neglected their homework. But, no matter what they did, they made time for activities like dances, .Homecom- ing, sports and even the Thursday evening pep rallies.p.,.i wifi' T One big celebration this year was Texas' 150th birthday, or sesquicentennial. A wagon train started Jan. 2 near Sulphur Springs. It made its way around Texas, trying tolmake a difference in how people saw the stateand its birthday. Sam students helped celebrate with Texan Day. Twirp King and Crazy Legs were announced at the tradi- tional earnival and dance. t It was a difficult year as activities had to fit into tight schedules. But, as usual, Sam students made an 'factivent difference. 8 Student Life M Division Page

The Student Congress of- ficers have really tried to accom- modate the new rules without limiting the activities that the students can participate in. In my opinion, weive done a good job.
