ENOUGH SAID . , . During speech practice, Mike Herring tries to get across the right impres- sion through his antics and expressions. After the confusion of the first weeks of school were over, me began to make ourselves heard. Not enough could be said about the students and teach- ers found here. The football team proved our en- durance by defeating the Gophers 48-45 in the final minute of the game. The junior class proved our intelligence when they came out on tops in the TEAMS testing. Our faculty was honored for their superior teaching by having Debra Cannon elected Teacher of the Year from our entire school district. Also, our own Mrs. Crocker will lead the teachers of the state of Texas by being elected as President of the Texas Classroom Teachers Association. It didn't stop there. The excitement of student activi- ties could be felt as well as heard all over the school. Whether it was the excitement of Homecoming, crazy conversations at lunch, or just horsing around with friends, students were enjoying themselves. Some students even got into a little mischief by putting an end to the fifteen year Grand Prairie High tradition by stealing the Kip's Big Boy. The weekend dances, the parties were a must for many students, while others preferred to stay home with friends and rent some movies. No matter what the activity or how it was accomplished, when all was SAID AND DONE, we always had fun and we ' were always the best! stil at xg CLOSING 1

TALK OF THE TOWN . . Sherri Ellis and Cynthia Nevels joke around about what is happening in the stands while cheering at a J. V. game. lphoto by Karl Bertal Not all of the talk was about extracirricular ac- tivities. Academics also played a major role in the lives of the students. The No Pass No Play rule was always in effect, helping some students while hin- dering others. Many students made themselves heard by getting involved in various clubs and aca- demics. The J.V. Cheerleaders talked it up at UTA Cheerleading Camp by taking a first place in both cheers and chants. The Chey-Annes received all l's at the marching auxilary and Maverick competi- tion. The band was proud to have two students, Amanda Ratliff and Lee Harbaugh play their way through stiff competition to become members of the State band. There were various academic clubs in which students could make themselves heard. Many students joined Mu Alpha Theta and the various foreign language clubs in hopes of further- ing their education while not in school. There were also numerous academic competitions in which stu- dents could participate. U.I.L. allowed students to compete with other schools while voicing their opin- ion. The Million Page challenge put our reading skills against those of Grand Prairie High, which again proved to be tops. All activities whether they be social or academic, In school or out were a chance for students to make themselves heard. Being a cheerleader, I feel I have a special sense of pride, the feeling I get supporting my school makes me feel really good. said Jamey Garret. Enough Said sal'
