3 Q i. U2 x E 4 The sophs had to take a computer class, had three types of diplomas to deal with, and had to adjust to high school, as well. But, sophs were deter- mined to not only make the grade, but a difference. The state also felt more time should be spent in class. The legislature only allowed six days with altered schedules. Sam used four for pep rallies during school. Despite this, Sam still had one every week. Some of them were held before school and two were held on Thursday evenings. Everyone wanted to and tried to make a difference in everything he did. - Cindy Cooley Katy Klein Under the Held direction of drum majors Tammy Barlow and Marcy Clark . . fi This was the sound of the announcer as the Texan Band began to perform during UIL competition at UTA. They were trying to show that they have what it takes to make a difference. Junior Lisa McPhearson takes a well deserved break after par ticipating in an old fashioned pep rally. Despite the fact Sam was only allowed six altered days for the year. spirits soared , 'L M: l jf , 0 A . I V I '- , -e .. , .9 -- e . v . , I V , 0 ' e 3 4 A 4 gi - N5 . , K 1 ,Qs V, pf' t ,ff Y. 1.

They were out of extracurricular ac- tivities for six weeks after failing the previous grading period, causing a number of students to take easier classes. ln addition, there was a mad rush on the office to take honors courses. Students felt pressured to take more honor courses by changing diploma re- quirements and entrance into their chosen college. The pressure was on the students to make the grades.
