Getting adjusted Stares, whispers greet new students On the first day of school there were stares and whispers. Senior Marybeth Leonard, a new stu- dent who transferred from La- mesa High said, “They stared the first few days and I could hear them say, 'Who is that?' Near the end of the year she also said, “Snyder High has a good pro- gram and the teachers are good also. I like it here better. It re- minds me a little of my home- town in New York State. “Squadron AT-TEN-TION! Troop Commander report. This is one of many military orders Jim Cuesta, senior, became accus- tomed to after being in military school for two years in Roswell, New Mexico. After attending SHS this year, he said, “I feel that Snyder High is a pretty good school but never thought I would graduate from here even though I am. I had fu- turistic plans of graduating from a Military Institute school, but not making a career out of the mili- tary, said Cuesta. “I do not feel I should even be here. Snyder High is not a new school to me, just a school which was not intended for me to come back to. I'm not saying the peo- ple here were bad, but somewhat nice. I did not want to graduate from a public school at all, much less attend one, but I got lucky and did, added Cuesta. Penny Noble, sophomore, transferred here from John Glenn Junior High in San Angelo. “It was fun but a little scary. I had already met some people and that made it better. My friends helped me feel like I had already gone to school here, said No- ble. “It was really a surprising honor, said Noble, about being named sophomore class favorite her first year at SHS.

Fitness Is thin and in Ug. Fat. Reflections in the mir- ror reveal fat. Having tried all the diets- grapefruit, pills, salads, some even resort to starvation. Nothing will help. All free time was spent in leg warmers, leo- tards and sweatbands dancing to a Miss Piggy arobic record. Some owned two copies of Jane Fon- da's best selling exercise book, but didn't find the time to read them. Sometimes they wanted to give up, and were pressured by televi- sion, magazines, and friends. Di- eters, they treaded a thin line.
