'Y O D U 'TWT 0 0 ' STUDENT LIFE CA CH th Q Mistaken Identities by Karen Gratlce Sex, drugs, and rock 'n rolI. Not your typical school motto, but many outsiders believe this to be the true reputation of Sam students. We're out to prove them wrong. 12 True Identities by Crystal Anderson ln the halls of Sam Houston, there are no strangers. This is the true motto for Sam Houston. Take a look and see what all we have to be proud of at our school. M Style by Susan Connor Everyone has a unique style at Sam Houston. We dress to express ourselves, do our own thing, and have a good timejust being ourselves. lg The Good Times of 1987 by Dino Thomas Take a look back into 1987 and remember all the good times and different events that make this year unique and special. Q4 Howdy Day by Crysrol Anderson M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-El! Guess what today is sophomores? Thot's right! lt's Howdy Day - our own traditional day for seniors and juniors to torture sophomores. CQ Homecoming Frenzy by Karen Grorlre Excited anticipation filled the halls of Sam Houston. Girls were giddy, and guys were cool. The question on girls' minds was: Will I have a date to Homecoming? p.11 p. 14 p. 15 p. 15 School at Sam Houston is much more than homework, exams and term papers. We know how to have fun during our time outside of class. During the summer, we vacationed all over the coun- try, worked, and went to cheerleader, journalism, and band workshops to prepare for the coming year. Seniors also did the traditional painting in front of the school. Once school started, we were overcome with all the activities that were being planned. It seemed like every Friday night there were foot- ball or basketball games, Homecoming activities, dances, midnight movies and parties. As spring rolled around, sophomores and juniors were catching Spring Fever, and seniors were contagious with senioritis. Seniors went to Fort Worth for prom this year and danced the night away at the Hyatt. Saving the best for last, the Class of '87 was the last of the Arlington schools to graduate on May 81. All of these memorable events will become an un- forgettable part of our lives. 0 0 0 ST UODENT .- 9 LIFE' ' 'YT

Sex, drugs, and rock 6 roll. Not your typical school motto, right? These characteristics, however, have been attached to our school. Others seem to have created a bad reputation for our school, which it does not rightly deserve. Has anyone ever asked you what school you go to? When you replied Sam, did they get that certain look on their face? This odd look is what has come out of the rumors about our school, Do people ever tell you that you don't look like you go to Sam? Just exactly what are we supposed to look like? Ap- parently a picture has been created of the Sam student which is quite wrong. When asked why, do they tell you that they thought everybody who went to Sam carried whips and chains? Their opinions are just unreal. People who don't go to our school think that we are all criminals. They think that we are all poor and scummy peo- ple. A student from another school actually believed that we all took drugs in the hallway. Imagine that. We are supposedly so poor, how do they think we can afford drugs! Other schools see ours as the one with the blow-off classes. Our teachers are thought to be bad and that we, the students, never go to class. These are the opinions of outsiders. They are people who do not really know us or our school. We, as true Texans, know what a terrific school Sam Houston is. Our pride in our school is evident. With our fighting Texan spirit, we can en- dure any criticism they have to dish out. .gf 10 STUDENT LlF i r l Vandalism hits Sam.
