■ asting Out Our Opponents With the lighting of the Summer Olympics torch came the firing shots of the Sul Ross sports season. The football season opened with two conference shutouts. The Lobos stung the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets 42-3 and ambushed the Midwestern Indians 39-0. The 42nd annual National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association rodeo was scheduled for the SR Range Animal Science arena in October. With one competition behind them and the women tied for 5th and 6th place and the men in 6th place, the rodeo team hoped to be more on target at the Sul Ross rodeo. Homecoming plans were put into action as clubs elected queen candidates and decided whether or not to build floats. Groups were willing to forego rivalry as Clip-n-Brand petitioned to the Student Association and changed the bonfire wood gathering from a com¬ petition to a school project where all the clubs worked together in¬ stead of against each other. Freshman Leadership Program scholars rounded up the equipment for the lighting of the Bar SR Bar. A shot of school spirit and pride echoed through the year as stu¬ dents and faculty became fired up in classes, activities, sports, and clubs. Our enthusiasm and participation proved that, although we failed at some things, we triumphed in others. Like students before us, we learned that by putting our hearts into the hard work, we could achieve our goals. We are all as¬ sembled together here at Sul Ross - each of us becoming a part of THE ’89 SPECIAL. Beginning Of The Future - A lone graduate is captured while thinking about the past four years at Sul Ross. I Am The King -- The haughty King of Siam, played by SR freshman Charlie Parrish, and a pert Anna, portrayed by Alpine resident Sawyer Cornelison, discuss matters in the summer production of The King and I. Cheers -- Art club member Sam Ponce awaits further instructions in the award winning float the Art Club entered in the fall Homecoming parade. The float tied for second with the Lobo Brigade.
