TRADITIONS Sing Sophomorel Junior Eddie Nowaski initiates Sophomore Johnnie Bao on the traditional Howdy Day by making him sing the school fight song. Juniors Laurie Cogburn and Brian Morrison and Senior Dallas Davis super- vise to make sure the sophomore does sing. Howdy Day is Sam's day for seniors and juniors to inltlate and have fun with underclassmen. After H o w d y D a y sophomores will become true Texans. Taking Life Easy. During one of the first s u n n y d a y s in February, Jamie Pogue and Michelle Moore catch up on s o m e of th e i r homework in the courtyard. The courtyard was one of the best places to get away from the crowded loud halls ro talk to friends and do homework. The Tex- an Day Carnival is also held in the courtyard in April. 5 OPENING Holding Strong Homecoming, Howdy Day, Texan Day . . . These are just a few of the many traditions Tex- ans would never give up. Homecoming is still a strong tradition. During the Homecom- ing hall decorating contest, everyone camped out at the school, trying to produce a win- ning hall. Tradition changed with the deletion of the popular Cherokee Awards Assembly. The program was moved to night and a more formal format. Journalism reshuffled awards from the assembly, adding fun to the changes. Favorites were named during basketball season and were treated to a night on the town, ala a cruise down Cooper in a school bus and din- ner at McDonald's. Top 10 Ac- tivity Seniors and Mr. and Miss Sam Houston were presented at prom. One tradition that hasn't changed is the reputation for 53 friendliness. Hanging at the en- 2 trance of the school is our motto 2 that still holds true, ln the Halls if of Sam Houston, There Are No 'D Strangers.
