howing that we care Working around school, or hosting luncheons, we care about others Family . . . that ' s how students and facuhy describe each other. Car- ing about each other, as well as the school facility itself, is almost automatic. Different student organizations, in- cluding FHA, Anchor Club, FFA and Stu- dent Council gave luncheons throughout the year for the faculty and staff. The voca- tional clubs put pencils and pads in the teachers ' boxes prior to the first day of school and during vocational week. Faculty and staff members, just about 100%, showed visible support of student efforts each Friday during football season and during other sports ' seasons by wear- ing their specially-designed shirts declaring them to be Stroman staff. It was nothing out of the ordinary to see teachers staying late to work with students or coming back in the evening for help sessions on special projects, such as science fair entries. When ag students saw the weeds grow- ing in the flower beds after the snow killed everything off, they did something about it. Students worked as aides to teachers and teachers attend- ed student functions. Family . . . yes, that ' s what it ' s like.

A runoff election was held bet- ween Castillo, Garza, Kolar and Wyatt. The nominees were honored at the Blue and Gold Ball on Feb. 22 in the boys gym. The semi-formal dance was spon- sored by the journalism depart- ment with the help of the Stu- dent Council. Horizon of Austin, which included a DJ and a special effects mobil music and light show, provided the music. Although attendance was light at this first dance, we want this dance to build into a suc- cessful tradition, said Kim Jones, chairman. We think it is important for the entire school, from the freshmen to the seniors, to be able to go to a nice dance together, she said. 30 Blue and Gold Beau
