Windy March Turns Tciscosca Topsy-Turvy MR. ALDRIDGE OF Loretta Heights was one of the many representatives who came to speak to Tascosa seniors on future plans they have for college. March was a month of windy days when fun-loving students unwound yards of string and let colorful kites soar into the sky. March was also a month of de- cisions. Athletes decided on which college or university to attend, and which scholarship to accept. It was a time when many a lucky senior rushed into class and announced joyously, live been accepted! I've been accepted! Juniors began thinking seriously of their college future and attended meetings in which college repre- sentatives stressed the importance of a high school diploma and a college degree. Baseball games and track meets became the regular meeting place on Friday nights and Saturday after- noons for fans. Pole vaulting, intermediate hurdles, sprinting, high jumping, relays, shot put, discus and broad jumping were all activities in which sophomore, junior and senior boys participated. Increasing their ability and trying to break record heights and times set by former tracksters was the goal of each boy as he strived to reach Tascosa's high quality standard. A March also brought about a month of campaigning to raise money for an American Field Service foreign exchange student. Stocks were sold at 95.50 each in order to raise the necessary 251,000 to bring a student to Tascosa. All of these activities took place in March-a month of Worrying with decisions and of fun, relieving these tensionsg a month of achievements and knowing that being Rebels with a Cause was Well Worthwhile. 1 1 MARCH'S WINDY DAYS find Pam Bearden and Tere An- KATHY POTTS, SENIOR Student Council Representative, explains drews in the park, trying to revive the art of kite flying. to a confused sophomore about the AFS stock sale drive.

RON DEVOE, TRAVIS Dean and Georgia Clinton rehearse the play a first place ranking in district contest. Springtime Scilutes Sandals, 'Seniorism' April was a month of sun-filled days and starry nights, a laughing month that included the exciting J unior-Senior Prom, the first end-of-the-year activi- ty especially given for seniors by the juniors. Also filling out the month's calendar was the cheerleading clinic, which drew enthusiastic soph- omores and juniors into exhausting Work outs. Over 30 frightened students tried out before the under- class student body for one of the six coveted posi- tions of Rebel spirit boosters. The contest play, A Slight Ache, starring junior Georgia Clinton, sophomore Travis Dean and senior Ron DeVoe, added another honor to Tascosa's drama department. The play was presented in interscholas- tic contest with surrounding schools in Canyon, on April 1. The carefree month of April, bringing on an epi- demic of spring fever, caused many students to relax a little in the daily routine of school Work and study. Sandals and shorts began appearing as uniforms for the sunny afternoons. Teachers also felt the urge to relax, and return trips to the golf courses for a round of nine holes became scheduled events. Small sailboats appeared on the near-by lakes as students began to feel the pull away from school and the push toward summer. Highlighted by these events and more-the subtle change from the normal to the expected year's finale was the eighth month of school, April. Wk., , c.-' . 1. ..- . 1 iris? 'im aff .
