Girls began their search for a date as guys began trying to get their courage up to ask that special girl. Visions of mums, football, the dance, the queen and escort, and the alumni pep rally swarmed the minds of Tascosa students. The homecoming pep rally and football game were held on a cool October 2. The dance was held from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. on October 3. October 2 began like all other homecomings with tinkling bells. Some teachers resolved the tinkling bell problem by enforcing Bell taping. I think that if our dates spend that much money on the mums we should be able to get the full pleasure of letting the bells do their thingf' Senior Beverly Quigley said. As the day went on, spirit began to fill the halls as anticipation of the big pep rally began to surface. Finally, the 3:00 bell sounded, 12 Homecoming!Student Life signaling the beginning of the special 35 minute pep rally. Following the pep rally, students went home to pre- pare for the big game. The Rebel squad scored 34 points in the first half. The second half of the game brought a Rebel victory, with Tascosa 47-Lubbock High 28. The dance was the next night. Z-93's amachron played the music for the Homecoming crowd. At 11:30 p.m. the dance ended, official- ly ending Homecoming 1987. -Shannon Parr

In Irving, several Latin students won awards at the State Latin Convention, with the Latin team placing sixth overall. The ROTC students got hands-on experience on war ships on their cruise to Long Beach, California. UIL competition proved that the Rebel choir was one of the best, with all three choirs receiving a division I at concert and sightreading con- test. The educational fair, cele- brating Amarillo's Centennial, took on the theme Festival of Learning. This fair was held to share the accomplishments of students and teachers with everyone in the community. Events included a time cap- sule holding educational memorabilia, the balloon launch showing the movement of the helium industry, and a Centennial Park. The subject of the middle school system and renovation of the schools became the hot topic as school neared its end. Tascosa was designated to receive 35.2 million to up- grade facilities. Ten new classrooms were approved for addition, a library resource center was approved for expansion and an activity center was approved to be built on campus. Additional changes stated to take place included a new roof, the installation of ceiling fans and lights, and new administrative offices. Tonight's the Night was one evening many seniors and juniors would remember forever as prom night '87 was celebrated. The ultimate high of spring climaxed with graduation when 364 seniors graduated from highschool to bigger and better hopes, dreams and opportunities to be fulfilled. 5 JJ ' S N5 It rgaqgfb- 1 'STRIKE THREE, YOU'RE OUT!- Senior '87 Rich Rosner pitches a fast one last spring to the Dumas Demons.
