JG LI ED O U T H G R A N D P R A I R I E HIGH LIS- T E N S T O T H E N E W SOUND OF Y-95 be- came the slo- gan for the school for about four weeks. Y-95 was a new ra- dio station to the area and they wanted to promote their music to the high school age so they had a contest. They invited any time was spent in writing the popular phrase on 3 by 5 cards. A majority of the people got involved. When stu- dents were asked why they were get- ting involved in this many responded with the same idea that they wanted to show everybody that we had school spirit here. The concert was not the main objective. It was really neat to see students, faculty and administration come to- gether and really show their spirit, said Ieanne Shouse. The whole school got involved. Teachers were giving extra credit if students turned in a cer- partf' said Iamey Garrett. The end result was that we won. The day of the concert was true excitement. All day students could be seen peering in the gymnasium hoping to get a glimpse of the group. Finally, the time came for the concert and as students strolled in the concert began, Not too many attended the concert for fear that they would be caught listening to music that was not really their kind, but whether stated or not students walked with pride for once again our pride and spirit was shown school in the area to write the statement the name of your school listens to the new sound of Y-95 as many times as they could and the school who turned in the most would win a lets concert in their school. So for the next few weeks all free tain amount and they also had contests between their classes as to who could turn in the most. Student Council or- ganized Y-95 days after school where students could gather in the cafeteria and listen to Y-95 as they wrote their cards. It was neat to see kids who were never involved before taking a throughout the Metroplex. I wouldn't have been caught dead at the concert, but it was neat to know that we were winners, stat- ed Karl Berta. J ETS

Said ready-writer Teresa Sharp, Practice for us is pretty relaxed, but we do work hard. Hopefully we'll do good when we compete. Re- hearsals are a crucial part of the drama de- partment as well. Ac- tress Jessica Cruz said, We really need all the practice we can get to make sure everything is just right. With all the lines and props, there's so much that can go wrong. Almost every- day after school, some- thing is going on. Once we just lost track of time organizing for a pep rally.
