Fall 19684 Tascosa once again not only boasted the largest enrollment in the city but in the school's history with 2,327 registering for the school year. To accommodate the increase in the number of students. several changes were made. Among them was the addition of three new annexes and l9 teachers. Rebels were regrouped and placed in different homerooms. Despite these changes there were many similarities be- tween this year and the preceding ones at Tascosa. Spirit and morale ran high as always as Rebels participated in the annual Howdy Week. The week climaxed with Duchess Smith and Ronnie Henderson being named Mr. and Miss Howdy. They were presented at the Borger pep rally where they were given western hats. As in preceding years, seniors proudly displayed their newly received class rings, as envious juniors waited their turns. Leading school personalities were selected in late Sep- tember. With the aid of voting machines Rebels chose their class officers and the traditional Miss Southern Belle. JUNIOR DEBBIE SAUNDERS smiles as friends congratulate heron being elected class viceapresident. Other officers and Miss Southern Belle were announced after run offs October 3.
