Rain to shine we survive Following his six o'cIock newscast, the weatherman became one of the most dis- liked T.V. figures by students. A typical example was the forecasting of snow on one weekend night which kept students from attending their usual weekend hap- penings, only to have them find out that all the weather did was get a little chilly. Everyone was then left wondering what happened to the snow, sleet, and ice. It was the same old trick just about every time with warm sunny weekdays, fol- lowed by cold, dreary weekends, though winter was not as harsh this year. Unfor- tunately for students and teachers alike, school was never dismissed for bad weather, but rain certainly made up for the lack of snow and ice. Sudden downp- ours became common and very irritating to those who happened to get caught in them. A quick run from the parking lot to the school buildings left students soaked and mad, holding a wet, limp notebook. Another typical trick of the fickle Texas weather that students inevitably had to put up with was the sudden change from cold, winter-like days to warm, summer- like days. Students often ate breakfast while looking at a bleak, icy morning but ate lunch under a hot summer sun. Need- less to say, picking out clothes to wear was a tedious task for those who wished to remain comfortable all day, no matter what the weather was like. All in all, the weather became a fact of life, and the quick changes from hot to cold and from rainy to sunny became just a fate that every student was forced to adjust to. 24 I Student Life Debbie Martinez grins with dismay as Sitting on the benches in front of tl she comes in soaking wet from the school, students enjoy one of the til rain outside. warm days of spring.

Starting the week off, on Monday there was a girl's bas- ketball game against Bryan. During lunch on Tuesday, stu- dents had their pictures taken by the journalism department photographers in stocks made by Student Council while the Polytoniks provided back- ground music. Later that night, Cinema 6 oitered dollar night. Wednesday, students were entertained at lunch by music provided by sophomore Ivan Hernandez and junior Bobby Eggleston. Later on that eve- ning was a Faculty vs. Stu- dents basketball game. The tun Thursday night was at Action World where the rates were reduced and the girls had the option of bowling or skating. Friday, the busiest day of the week, provided a movie, The Sting, for a dollar. during 6 and 7th periods. Girls were encouraged to buy a ticket tor their guy, although it wasn't mandatory. That night, there was an option of three activi- ties: girls could take their dates to a boys' basketball game against Copperas Cove, a country-western dance at K.C. by the Moods, or dinner at the Matterhorn Restaurant near Salado. A new addition to Twirp Week was the election of King Twirp. Only girls were allowed to vote, and eight finalists were chosen from 22 nomi- nees, nominated by their respective clubs. The nomi- nees tor the honor of King Twirp were Ftoss Ahlgren, Mike Blanchat, Keith Bulls, Anthony Clemons, Len Dip- pei, Sean-Cockrell, Terry Floyd, Adam Guillen, Robby Harris, Jeff Henderson, Wayne Hill, J. D. Holt, David Joyce, Keith Kelln, Eddie Lewis, Steve Michalewicz, James Nastars, Mark Ftahm, Mark Remax, John samos, Daniel Sharp, and Steve Utley. Twirp f 23
