The celebration ended the next day with a parade which was followed b a party for the Court and Princesses. he girls parted knowing that they had been a part of a worthwhile experience. CaVOilcade's Reigny Day Parade by April Weeks As the open topped convertibles gathered in the Thomas Jefferson parking lot, several princesses and their escorts turned fearful eyes towards the sky. Hope turned to dismay as tiny droplets of water began to bathe the various princesses. Finally, a steady downpour began to flood all of the participants and onlookers of the 1985 CavOchade parade. Nevertheless, all of the 55 princesses continued in the parade as if it were sunny outside. Reality set in when skirts of taffeta and lace were drenched with the heavy raindrops. Senior Beth George, sat on the back of her conver- tible in an attempt to remain dry, however, the rain drained from the top of the hood down onto her then sopping wet dress. Although there had been much cone troversy as to whether or not bands would march in the Sunday parade, some manag- ed to perform anyway. The Hussars lined up and marched despite the rain, while the band had to disband to avoid mining their instruments. Many anxious parade goers huddled beneath cars and umbrellas in an attempt to stay dry as they cheered on the new Queen. 18 CavOilcade CAVOILCADE COUPLE - Queen April Weeks waits fur her yellow and white streamered l'loat with her WHAT THE HECK! 7 Brandy Fontenot had her loyal subject and best friend Todd Freeman. tphoto by driver stop in front of the judges' stand in order to pre- T.

Knighn Happy Holidays Hit A High by Kory Guidry The Holiday break was filled with sizzling parties alore. Students roamed the streets hunting for comers to hibernate in during the festive oliday seasons. The television set, after weeks of loneliness, was bombarded with eager eyes searching for holida entertain- ment. School books were carelessly tossed onto the back seats of cars; never to e seen un- til the day of return. Within the month of October, HTJ. inmates dressed in Halloween attire, dragged their boots on the gravel of lonely streets to beg innocent Port Arthurians for bon bons to fill their lonesome sacks. These same ghouls and witches danced and cleared the tables at the horror-filled Summit Ill party. After a long night of heated entertainment, the misfits of the graveyard put to sleep their gathering to rest in peace for the coming Christmas break. Reds, whites, and silvers ca tured the eyes of early Christmas shoppers, Men dressed like St. Nick dangled bells in t eir hands in an attempt to capture the attention of Holiday shop ers. After completing their shopping debut, students searched for seats near a warm firep ace in order to share eggno with special friends.

After the presentation 0 the Noel Francais tor the skit ut on by the drama clubJ the dinner table was loaded with goodies which were soon relieved by the hungry teens The party ended when students crammed into their cars and headed for the malls to go Christmas caroling. The joy of all holida s was always heightened for students because it was an added time off from school.

In addition to the Texas shindig going on in the civic center and the other parties occurring throughout the city, the Port Arthur Independent School District asked Herb Gamer to organize the Sesquicentennial Extravaganzat The ex- travanganza would consist of all the Port Arthur school bands, drill teams, cheerleaders, Choir members, and Texans. Even the elementary school children par- ticipatedl Each area band had a period of time to perform some kind of salute to Texas. Thomas JeffersonTs portion of the show consisted of the choir singing Deep in the Heart of Texas, and the band play ing a salute to Willie Nelson. The Hussars, Cheerleaders, and Texans formed the state of Texas while the band played The Eyes of Texas. For TJXs final selection, the Swingsters, choir, and Band all performed together on Giant. The Grand Finale was great, it had everything, fireworks, balloons and flags. Every school in the district was represented on the field by their hands and other organizations The whole district per- formed together on the Yellow Rose of Texas, the HEyes of Texas and Texas our Texas. Fireworks were lit in the shape of our great state Red, white, and blue balloons were set free at the end of the finale while the Swingsters used long cards to form the state flag.

The colors of royal blue, white, black, and go d created the settin for this year's Almost Heaven theme. As the heavenly re resentatives looke on; friends and relatives of court members were escorted to t eir seats by the Junior ushers. The royal entertainment began after the court took their reserved seats. Waltzers danced to the song That's What Friends Are For. Mrs. Carmen Pickard, waltzer s onsor, was ver proud of her dancers because their beautiful performance proved t at all of their hard work had paid off. The waltzers rehearsed both before and after school for almost a month in reparation for their Coronation performance. Entertainment continued with gatricia Samuels, senior singer, who sang HThe Greatest Love. Toward the close of the program, Mrs. Pickard and Mrs. Carroll, Coronation and senior class sponsors, were formally thanked for their efforts and were presented with a plant. Mrs. Carroll volunteered a great deal other time and effort to make certain that all necessary arran ements were made and that every detail was at- tended to. She held three rehearsals, ordered plants, paints, and materials, created new chairs for the kin and ueen, and the stage. With the help of her husband, Mr. Charles Carroll, Mrs. arrogpainted the entire corontion backdrop during her con ference period, after school, and the Sunday before the Coronation because the one she ordered was mis laced, Mrs. Carroll said, HSometimes I felt that the work would never be com gted. I wondered why in the world 1 was running myself silly while the kids who should have been helping me went about their business as if the coronation and mm were not important. But, during the last week of preparation, some of the ki 5 really came through for me and I saw my effort had not been wasted. All in all the coronation was a success and sponsors, seniors, and members of the coronation were very proud. The theme, Almost Heaven, fit perfectly!

Man Teachers Motivating Minds by Carla Erickson and Adrienne Montondon Almost every student can say that at one time or another he has complained about school. We either camplain about having too much homework, about a class being boring, or, as is often the case on a sunny April day, we simply express a common disgust with having to be in school instead of laying out by the pool or being at the beach, However some students are able to bear their classes better because of the little things that their teachers do to hold their students' interestr Ms. Pickard, a Spanish teacher, gives her classes special treats such as Mexican cin- namon pastry of guava jelly, allowing them to experience the Mexican culture as well as make their lessons more fun. Teachers like Mri Tolar provide exciting experiments that demonstrate the ideas of physics, physical science, and astronamy.

Senior Shindigs by April Weeks With the end of the school year at hand, seniors started to look forward to parties thrown by their friends and local clubs. This years Black and White Ball at the Port Arthur Country Club was a success. As senior Francis LaRocca said, Everyone liked the masks because they were a welcome change over flowers. On the other hand, the Pompano Club shied away from a strict, black mask and instead, leaned toward an afternoon luau complete with flowered leis; followed by a dance the next night. As one senior said, This ball as even more exciting than our senior prom! Overall, these parties are a successful part of most seniors' last few months, Whether it be from the dancing floors at a local club, or a crowded sofa full of friends, these parties seem like a reward to the Seniors for all of their hard work.

Thank you for being here. Graduates, you have acquired a vast amount of knowledge. You have gained cultural awareness. You have won the respect of your peers, and best of all youlve given up cafeteria food! Gang, tonight is a big step, but the future will hold many steps as Well. An ime portant thing for us to remember and to im- plant in our minds is that the steps do lead to a goal and a sense of accomplishment We share an accomplishment tonight. Lets keep in mind that every ending is a new beginning and what you do with that beginning is up to you, but the key word is determination: that inward drive to make it at whatever you decide, and when the times get rough get tough with themt As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, If you can't run, walk; it you can't walk, crawl; if you can't crawl just keep inching alongi No matter what, keep moving. We won't all leave here tonight and magically become doctors, lawyers, can- gressmen and company presidents We will have to work, step by step, sometimes inch by inch, running or crawling but always POMP AND FONTENOT 7 Senior Shawn Fontenot flashes one of her many sophisticated smiles to the traditional tune of Pomp and Circumstance. tphoto by H, Gmdryy 8 at Seniors steadily moving to build upon the foundai tion we've acquired here at Thomas Jeffere son.

J, has given us the backbone to be whatever we choose, the memories to keep us with smiles and the sense of accomplishe ment to supply us with drive. Praise wouldn't justly say what we've gotten over the years, but I ask you to look within your hearts and feel what my words cannot say. This was, is, and always will be our school; we belong to each other, being the class who made it together, This is our day; the memories are our memories and the steps have been our steps. My advice to you is not to stop here No matter what, keep moving. I wish all of you the best of luck. May the long and winding road of life lead you to the door you're hoping fort Have a great time tonight celebrating and remember: the future is yours, go for it . . . What's the key?

Hairculs of today seem to be more fashionable than the clothes themselves Hair is very versatile for this year. Cum that are In this season vary from short and easy-to-keep, to long, full hair that requires much up-keep. The four major looks for this year are: The Sass. Short! Sassy! Easy! All of these adjectives describe this interesting hairdo for fall. The forward motion of the hair depends on a great cut. The Sass can be brushed back, revealing spiky, flir- ty, underbangs. The Snphisticate. Midvlength hair is easy, vexsatile and always sophisticated. This hairdo can easily be converted from casual and chic, to glamourous for the evening. The Town and Country. Another hair style with lots of possibilities. It can convert from pretty girl curls to an elegant upsweep, giving plenty of options to those favoring long hair. The G.Q.

This is the year to be yourself and go for it with a cut that suits your lifestyle. by Ginger Hamiltoniand Kelly Moore i0 Ai Michelle Hilton Bi Herman Hope, Vanessa Coleman ames De ony Di Allison Sontenot by Adrienne Montondon The fashion statement for this year was virtually anything goes From Paisley prints to oversized shirts with brooches, students were bedecked in so many fashion variations that it was impossible to pin down one specific style, On any given day at school, one would be likely to spot Madonna look-alikes, students in mini-skirts, tie-dyed jeans, huge untucked shirts, button-up blue jeans, or wild surfer shorts that almost touch the knee Goodwill stores were popular shopping places for the more daring and bizarre dressers. Trench coats, clamvdigger pants, and other attire could be bought for a minimal amount of money Many people were proud to display their fashion bargains although they could have easily afforded clothes from Saks 5th Avenue, Students were shod in anything from multiecolored high-top tennis shoes to hirachi sandals to high-heeled pumps. Reeboks were the popular tennis shoes for this year. Whatever students chose to dress in, whether it was conservative or way-out, their clothes reflected each person's personality. on Karen Falgout an m Brandy Fontenot rm to Vanessa Quintella a n BUTCHERING THE BACON 7 Man McBee, 12, with a hean in his hands, displays his dissected fetal pig to me A.P.

Concentrated Classes by April Weeks With the passing of House Bill 72, students were compelled to go back to the basics of education. Many students, however, were not affected by these changes because they were already striving for excellence. Students enrolled in honors level, or advanced placement classes put in extra hours studying for tests and completing difficult homework assignments. We stayed up all night working on Chemistry contracts commented Junior Lucian Adams. Like Lu- cian, Junior Tracey Postula affirmed, I know all about Chemistry now; after four pots of coffee and thirteen contracts, I finally caught on, Payoffs came when juniors passed P.S.A.T., TtE.A.M.St, and SAT. tests with ease. In addition, some seniors won substantial scholarships for the hard work and honors they have received for the past four years Overall this has been the year of getting back to basics This means that more students were motivated towards achieving a bet- ter education in the 1985-86 school yeart 94 In Motion Students Strive for Excellence ARMED WITH THE 0.x.

A few days after Christmas, a reu- nian of past editors was held at the Pear Ridge Town Hall. Editors from nineteen of the twenty years of the magazine's publica- tion attended; reliving their experiences as editors and tellin about their current lifestyles. Past 2 itors had successful careers ranging from lawyers to writers to OUSEWlVeSr The Ebbtide editors for this year waged their own battle to get the magazine out after the reunion was over. Publication was a far-awai HEmera City and the yellow-bric road was aved with line tape, rubber cement, goo and bad literary works, shouts, insults, hurling objects, and general comraderie among the editors. any times during a lengthy afternoon of working on the magazine, an editor would be heard to utter, There's no place like wever a click of heels was not sufficient to make Ebbn'de sponsor, Jayne Smith, relent and allow the editor to leave with his work unfinished. After many months of dedicated work, Ebbfide was finally published, complete with man improvements over past issues of the magazine Computers were used this year and photography was an added part of the publication.

Both men, however, are about as different as the respective branch of the Armed Forces they are entering. Being admitted to either of the academies is a very competitive undertaking, Not only must he compete at the academy with a transcript and an interview, but one must also Compete within his state for the essential nomination by a senator or representative. Mic ael was accepted by Annapolis in January, His letter of appointment was received in early February. Christiaan was accepted in early April. Both Christiaan and Michael were recommended for their academies by US. Con- gressman Jack Brooks. Christiaan said Brooks had to choose from over 600 applicants. In addition to Jack Brooks, Christiaan was also recommended by Texas Senator Phil Gramm and was one of the top ten chosen out of 800 other applicants? Lloyd Bentsen said there was no purpose in nominating Christiaan again, Michael unge United States Naval Academy xv In addition to being recommended, they both had to complete a physical train, ing exercise. Christiaan and all other applicants to the Air Force Academy had their exercise done at NASA in Houston. Michael said, The Nary's procedures are different from the Air Force and Army. The Air Force and Army set a designated place for their applicants to go through their physicals. The Navy, however, places the responsibility on the applicant to find a responsible and qualified person to supervise d record the physical exercisefl Michael did his training in Port Arthur under Coach Hall's supervision. At NASA there were 150 applicants, in- cluding Christiaanr l'All of us did the same exercises, pullups, situps, pushups, and a 300 yard shuttle run. We used the ac- tual gym the astronauts use to train. It was fun taking it, but I was sore for about three days after. You had a chance to rest but, on each event you had to go until your body couldnit go anymore. Each applicant had to undergo three other tests. A normal checkup and two ver strenuous tests In each of the events Christiaan participated in, except the shuttle run, he came within the top three. On the 300 yard shuttle run he set a new Air Force Academy Record, 501 seconds The average was 60.2 seconds and the minimum was 64.0. After completing their years of college in the academies Michael and Christiaan will each owe the Navy and Air Force at least five or six years of service. Michael's future plans seem toward the political aspect of the armed forces. He hopes to become Secretary of the Navy or even Secretary of State. Christiaan's hopes are not quite as political, but no less ambitious. He he es to eventually be an Astronaut in the Space Program, When asked if the shuttle explo- sion put a damper on his dreams he said, No, the shuttle incident makes me want to be an astronaut even more. He said he thought that NASA was getting too loose with their regular Good Men tions. There was no real purpose for Christa McAuliffe to go up there. When there is a space station or need for civilians in spam, then send them, but until then let qualified pilots or astronauts do the lob. Before going on to their dreams, they both will have to spend a little time on a lower level. Michael said he wants to try a little bit of everything in the Navy, I'll spend about two ears as a surface Navyman, hopefully I can spend two years in aviation, and two more years with sub- marines and the like, Michael from the be inning wanted to be a pilot but because of his vision problem he will not be allowed to fly. Christiaan will spend his lower level years as a pilot until he can be admitted into the space pro am. Although it is an understatement to say that Christiaan has done well in all of the preliminary functions to admittance, he still retains a great deal of modesty, and his hopes of being a pilot and astronaut are not a childhood dream but an actual goal in his life. He said he was not going into the Air Force for any glory or fame but simply to fly and go for the career he has always hoped for. Both Michael and Christiaan are quite sure of the course their lives will take in the future, Within ten years it will be highly pro- bable we will see Michael's name making a strung push forward for his political career, and Christiaanis name in making a strong push toward the stars!!!

Academic Decathlon team, consisting of members Michael Iunge, Melissa Guthrie, April Weeks, Todd Colletti, Roger Cline and Jeff Lafitte, led the Port Arthur District in the e 'onaltoumament. rin 'ng home medals for Thomas Jefferson were team members Michael Junge, Jeff Lafitte, Todd Colletti, and Roger Cline. Michael re- ceived one gold medal m interview, one silver medal in speech and one bronze medal in the science diwsion, Todd Colletti brought home a gield in the speech competition and a silver in t e interview; while Roger Cline rounded out the medal winning with a bronze medallion in the science division. To pre are for the Decathlon meet, team members ad to be well versed in various fields. There were six tests taken in the following categories: Math, Science, Economics, History tWorld War ID, En lish tThe novel Cry the Beloved Country, an several selected poemsL an ' ns. An essa was written at the eginning of the day over the topic of immigra- tion, and students were periodically taken from the room during the day to give a four minute prepared speech and a seven minute interviewt At the end of the da , all of the students went into the gymnasium or the final event e the Super Quiz. A to ic was icked for each year's super quiz and t is years topic was Immigra- tion. Each student was given five questions, which, if answered correctly, could more than double the team's scores. Super Quiz was always one of the more excitin events in that many eople cheered for the students as they went own for their questions, On the whole, the atmosphere is that of a high school pe rally. Overall, pre aration for the Decathlon eet is long and har , but very rewardin . The tests seemed long but it was all worthwi e when the team placed at regionals. 114 Decathlon Decathletes Top the District STUDY OR YOU WON'T EAT - Decathlon Coach, Royal Pitchford dm ed b the rooms to pass amund Cliff notes and helpful hints for the meet WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WRITE A FOUR MINUTE SPEECH?

The computer Engineering Technology phase is what makes Summit whole. The computer Engineering Technology phase tCED of S III is the half that puts the computers together. When one of the com- puters in a CS classroom breaks down, CET, 5 III private workshops come to the rescue. The students work with circuits and switches and learn what makes the com- puter tick, The comparable program to OEA for CET student is VICA.

Lamuai i'Competing at area and state are fun, said third year CET student Jeff Banksi Unlike the computer science department where students take a language course, a business course, and a science, or foreign language, CET students have their engineering class for two periods of the day, after which they have the option of taking a foreign language or a science for their last class at Summit, CET is very in teresting and a lot of fun. Iim glad I signed up for Summit 111. Both parts of the program are important to a student's future. I'm glad there is a pro- gram like Summit III, concluded Mrs, Martha Harris, 5 Ill information Processing Teacher.

Yes, he round the Big Dipper The Year of Halley by April Weeks and Ryan Vurlicer The Astronomy Club was very active this year. The celebrated arrival of the seventyr six year Visitor, Halley's Comet, was due. Although the city lights were not much help, Astronomy Club members and students did get to see photos and informa- tion from the space missions that in tercepted Halley's path. In addition to the actual sightseeing ot the comet, the Astronomy club went to the Houston Burke Baker Planetarium where they saw a documentary program on Edmund Halley. Star gazers were enthusiastic about the long awaited Voyager lI mission to Uranus. Astronomy was flooded with information about Uranus. Valuable data was sent back to Earth as many of Uranus' unsolved mysteries were explored. The astronomy club was given upetodhe minute informa tion on HalleyTs comet and the Voyager II mission at the club meetings, Many times, guest speakers were invited to attend the club meetings to give talks. Moreover, many club members alternated with special informative talks about various planets, stars, comets, and constellations. In addition to the many advances made this year, Americans suffered a tragic loss when the crew aboard the Challenger II was killed. Students at Thomas Jefferson were horrified over the accident, however, most students fett that like Christa McAulife, our country should continue to reach for the stars. HALLEY'S RIGHT HAND MAN ..

Extra Curricular ac tivities have cut deep into the students' off time including weekends and summer vacations. In between sweating it out at summer prac- tires and long weekend parades, students spend much of their hard earned leisure time preparing for the year to come and promoting school spirit. Some organizations require students to have a job which also takes time away from students, The students gladly devote their efforts and hours of time to make high school days just a little more exciting and meaningfuli Whether it's practice on the field or putting up decorations for the next big dance, one way or another students and up working overtime. 122 Clubs Division overtime l.

Dear Friends and Faculty, As the end of the year approaches and campus activities begin to wind down, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the fantastic events of the past nine months, and to thank everyone involved. This year has been a year of rebirth for the Thomas Jefferson Student Congress. When Tammy Allen, Ginger Smith, Loren Pond and I took over the reins in September, we faced a monumental task. In years past, the attendance and participation of Congressmen had dwindled down to such a proportion the organization was dy- ing, if in fact it was not already dead. Our task was to put the Congress back in its rightful place I am proud to say that we ac- complished this goal The Congress is once again a large, active organization, This year we also brought back many old traditions, For the first time in many years, mhumas Etffvraann Eigh $thnnl ZZLILI RJPIIITEIIII Brine TJnrl Arthur, Erxus 771MB the homecoming princesses circled the track around the field in open cars. We also went back to our previous method of am nouncing the Homecoming Queen during the halftime ceremony. As the year progressed, the Congress became involved with amending the School Constitution, 3 project that turned out to be highly controversial. Strider eligibility requirements were set for all school officers, and the eligibility stipula- tions for cheerleaders were relaxed. After eight weeks of debate and haggling, Congress passed these amendments into effect I would now like to thank a man without whom much of what we accomplished this year could not have happened, Mr. Robert Kindell, I have said this year several times that if there were any man that qualifies for a best friend as well as adviser, it is Mr, Kindell, Every time I am frustrated with Congress or anything else, his calm logic always seems to smooth matters out. Mr. K and l donit always agree, but when we donit we are able to find a middle ground on which to stand and to proceed, which is the best type of working relationship to have It has been my dream to become the President of TI for many years and now my dream is realized. I thank you for help ing me attain this goall You have been an EXCELLENT student body to work with, and at various conventions and meetings, I am always proud to say YES, I'm from Port Arthur Jefferson Sincerely, LA w Bug Will Black Student Body President Congress 123 Congress Turns Around Every once in a while as you walk down the halls of Thomas Jefferson, you will hear a student ask, What is Congresss?H or What does Congress do?'l Welll Congress is a serVe ice organization. The serve the students of TI as well as the surrounding community. Much of the 198 -86 session of Congress was spent on revisions dealing with the qualifications for varsity cheerleaders. In the Constitution the grade reguirements seemed harsh, so Congress immediately set to work on revising the Thomas Jef erson Constitution to alleviate the problem. Despite Congress' attention to the Constitution Problem, President Will Black, alon with his officers: Vice President Tammy Allen, Secretary Ginger Smit Representative-at-Large Loren Pond, began eearlng Con ress up for the other projects that were coming up as the year rolled on. ongress he ped with, and put on, several dances this ear, including the Morp and Sweetheart Dancesr Congress also collected a lar e sum 0 money and donated it to the March of Dimes. 5 Con ress steamed on, all of the sudden, elections were at hand.

This year, the Honor Society along with HTE.C,E4 spone sored the Smokeless Happy Hour, a party held after school which had refreshments and prizes provided by the Honor Society and H.ETC.E. in honor of the Great American Smokeout. The Honor Society also furnishes teachers with refreshments and other sup- port throughout the year. This year's new Honor Society members were inducted on December 18 and were addressed byludge Larry Gist.

Putting a dance together, however, is no easy task, It re quires cooperation from everyone within the organization. Painting the mural pro- posed the most problems this year. It took several meetings at President Celina Leon's house before the decorations could be com- pleted. If it had not been for Mrs. Leon's great cheese dip we may have never finish- ed.

Thespians held a state convention December 6-7, 1985, in Rosenberg, Texas. '1 loved it! Everyone was friendly and I had a reat time meeting all the people from different schools It was a great learning experienceJ is how freshman Angela Estrada, describes It. The convention consisted of multitudes of workshops, One of the favorite workshops was the Stage Combat, led by a representative of the University of Texas Performing Arts Center. The toperanking activity was, by far, the productions of different plays performed by attending schools. Amadeus, from Barber's Hill High School, was one of the best there. It was superbly done and held the audience spellbound Another play with great potenv tial was luvy, done by Katy High School, about teenagers growing up in a center for juvenile delinquents. The general consensus was that our school can learn greatly by attending more of these things. Roger Cline summed up the trip in these words, It was a lot of fun see, ing all those creative people together in one place It was a good experience, and I think we can profit by doing more of this sort of thing. lhope we can go again next year. When's the meet? Tomorrow? How much money? I have to pay? What happened to school money? Permission slip Can I sign it myself? I need an avocado suit when - for What? Panic! Excitement! Fun! Those are the key words for Drama-Fests. Why else would people be at school at 6:30 . , on a Saturday morning no less? Some peer ple just would not understand. T. J. students attend three types of meets during the course of the year; Educational Drama Association iEDAl, National and Texas Forensic League tNFL and TFAi, and University Interscholastic League iUlLJ EDA is largely local competition, U. I. L is mostly local and state, and NFL and TFA are generally state wide and can be national. Different types of talents are showcased at the different competitive eventsi At EDA, creative talents are showcased, such as mime, creative movement, and impromptui At U. I. L. competition, a more conservative talent is brought forth, This largely deals with poetry, prose regular and Lincoln, Douglas debate, and extemporaneous speaking. At NFL and TFA, however, both aspects are shown. They have a formal showcase with a creative note. Believe it or not, there is also a lot of fun along with the competition. Why else would someone give up a beautiful Saturday.7 Theatre 153 LET'S TAKE OFF 7 For the Homecoming parade.

In order to get in, one had to have a ticket with a number on it, People got the tickets by completing a puze zle on information dealing with diseases smoking causes. With the help of Mrs. Judy Thomas, Mrs, Marilyn Dartez, and Mrs. Catherine Car- roll, Drama Club members put on several skits that showed the temptations and ef- fects of smoking in order to discourage it Home Economic classes arranged for those attending to have a snack while watching the presentation.

With a 7:15 am. roll check, the girls were out of bed and on the field bright and early, five days a week, Giving up a month of the beach was not eas but it was worth it when the first performance of the year, Red and White Day, was a success.

LEAN ON ME e Seniors Kory Guidry and Adrienne Montondon lean on each other for moral support as they face the wmth of annual editor, April Weeks The 1985-86 Pilot George and Iunge The Pilot began its 54th season much like a man of the same age rising from a familiar bed, slowly The first of only four issues was published after Homecoming, rather late in the yeah This beginning indicated the shape of things to come, Frequent editorial brawls, mutinous reporters, darkroom failures and even a midseason change in the starting lineup, courtesy of H372, plagued the aging newspaper. The paper never seemed to catch its stride during 1985-86. Like a smoker who thinks that he's getting his second wind, the coughing tits were just around the corner as the Pilot staff ground to a halt, issue after issue, Sizes fluctuated from 4 to 6 pages and back to 4, At times it seemed that the next issue would never be published as deadline after deadline failed to be met. The final issue, at last report, was being circulated by a dedicated staff of anarchists after the newspaper sponsor expressed her disgust at that issue. Noticeably absent from the paper this year were advertisements. A rather odd fact con- sidering the 40 some pages of ads in the annual. Informed sources say that there were ill feelings toward the PILOT by many key ad staff members, Perhaps the ugliest of all the diseases that visited itself upon the news tincludlng lack of funds and, as some asserted, a lack of leadership from the editorial stafo was an emphasis on the YELLOW JACKET, the 1986 annual, As a certain royal yearbook editor said - We're not on the PILOT, dearie. Oh by the way, have you done these 2,000 captions and the 12 pages of layouts l commanded you to do yesterday? e Of Course they refused to do them The paper has survived yet another stormy season, clinging to an unbelievably taunt and frayed lifeline Whether or not we will see it in the future is up to the staffs that follow.

The live team compiled a 3-7 season and was coached by Johnny Taylor, Charlie Sprock and head of the I.V. team was Phil Pate. The team was young with 16 juniors on varsity, so they and the sophomores were combined to form one team. The sophomores had no pre- judice against them After the first game Coach Owens moved T K. Harrison, a sophomore starting fullback, up to varsityt There were high prospects come ing from the starting sophomores. Some of these sophomores were Calvin Hyder, Zack Cole, Greg Flores, Jamie Bryant, and Adrian Landry. With so many people up on varsity it created a problem in the I.V. depth chart. The defense was led by middle linebacker Yianjs Selindis. The defense, even with the record like it was, had a very promising year.

These combined with the district Championship, were great accomplishments that finished off an even greater year. After the Lady Jackets polished off the district season, they late! advanced to the playoffs The Lady Jackets not only won the Bi-District game but they played a tremen- dous game of volleyball. This tremendous effort earned them a final score of 1570 and 15-1, not to mention a spot in the playoff game. Thomas expressed her feelings about the year, I am very disappointed that we did not win State, but I am proud of what we have accomplished Thomas and Harkless were both seniors this year, They said, We are going to miss the team, but most of all we are going to miss the coaches. Coach Wilson remarked, We had a great Varsity Toke no prisoners season. I am proud of Harkless and Thomas' ac- complishments in their last four years. They have set the pace for next year's teaml The girls know what they have to do. Coaches Hebert and Wilson along with the rest of the team are really proud of the Junior Varsity. The Juniors finished the second half of the season with a 7-1 district record. Due to the Class ranking of both of the girlsi Volleyball teams, Thomas Jefferson can look forward to another prominent team next year. SCORE BOA RD Kounuc Wm.

Hardly. Like other track events, it is a race. However, cross country is held on different types of ter- rain, such as over hills, and through ditches and streams Each team consists of seven runners. At each event the girls' team must run 2 miles, whereas the boys team must run 3 miles. As the runners arrive at the finish line, they are given a number which corresponds to the order in which they crossed. At the end of competition, the numbers of the five fastest times for each team are totaled. The team with the lowest number is the winner, Cross country takes dedica- tion and hard work. Each par- ticipant must be dedicated to the team as well as to himself. One method of h'aining is by running overdistance. For instance, Omar Hernandez, one of the cross country runners, said, If we are going to run a three mile race, some people run five. This helps to build endurance for a three mile race, which may cover the harshest of terrains. 196 Cross Country GOOD FORM 7 Kevin Threats an hows a winner concentration as he runs through the woods around WestBrook whom by Roben Cami HUFF AND PUFF a Curtis Mitchell gets his last breath before the finish of West tB'rooks long cross country race iphoko by Robert Garzal DETERMINATION Thibeaux takes on a nn om Anahuac al the West Brook meet. tphoto by Robert Garzai DETERMINATION e F takes on a runner in West Brook meet. tpho OUT IN THE FIELD . .

Lopezt t Head to Houston THE BEST FOTO FEST EVER by Chrissy Cockrell Despite the rainy day and a dead battery, the photojournalism students still had their sunshine, Mrs. Moore, head of photojour- nalism, took her twelve students to Houston for the 1986 Foto Fest on March 12. The students, which included the following: Alethea Brown, Keli Brammer, Chrissy Cockrell, Chris DeFrancis, Angela Jackson, Tracey Postula, Cain Sauer, Sharon Thorton, Antoinette Veltz, Brian Vincent, Joe Utley, and Iarod Webb took the day off to look at photography and art from famous people like Robert Frank, Robert Capa, Taishi Hirokawa, and Robert Rauschenberg Robert Rauschenberg, who emerged in the sixties, graduated from Thomas Jeffer- son.

Santa Anna wanted to avenge the defeat of General Cos. His first target was a previously indomitable fortress - the Alamo When the gates of the Alamo closed, 150 fighting men were quartered against the east and west wallsi About 24 civilians hovered in the fort's old church. Among the civilians were David Crockett, eXecongtessman from Tenn; james Uimt Bowie and William B. Travis. Travis sent out desperate appeals for assistance to nearby fortsi No sign of relief appeared. On Feb. 23, the Mexicans were sighted. Travis sent out two scouts with a final plea for men and provisions; the men are determined to defend the Alamo at int, he warned. The next day he wrote, The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, but I shall never sugrender or mm VICTORY OR DEATH Just before dawn on March 6, Santa Anna stormed the Alamo, The Texans fought to their deaths Santa Anna ordered all of the rebel corpses piled on wood and burned.

The lack of protecrion from the army during the Mexican-American War left settlers in Texas defenseless Country west of a line drawn from Gainesville to Fredericksburg was abandoned by all but the most courageous. Many lived in stockades and watched each evening in terror as smoke surrounded the summer moon. Charred cabin skeletons stood like enormous gravesrones for slaughtered families One wanderer Cowboy John Allen, camped near the Russell family Stockade For is protecnon the family agreed 1t would be best for him to move insidejohn fell in love with Lucy, the Russell's daughter.John promised to marry Lucy upon his return in one year. Before John's return, Indians raided the Russell ranch and killed the family. Outraged, John sought Lucy's murderer. One day, he sighted a savage Indian holding a shield resembling a stretched deer skinl On the shield was a scalp of beautiful hair -blonde hair like Lucy Russellk. Reports from the county near Lucy Russell's home show the combined population of two count1es declined from 3, 752 1n 1860 to 1, 585 111 1870. Texans raised the hue- -and-cty: 1'We n protection from the Indians by the U. S. Army. When President Grant assumed office in 1869, peace advocates persuaded him to adopt a policy of diplomacy, rather than force, with regard to the Indian problem in Texas. It wasn't until the raid at Salt Creek in May of 1871 that General of the Army William Tecumseh Sherman and Randolph B, Marcy, inspector general of the Arm recognized and acknowledged the indiscriminate slaughter of settlers in Texas. The Salt Creek Massacre led to the arrest of Kiowa leader Samuel and two other Indian leaders, Satank and Big Tree. Satana refused to stand trial and was shot trying to escape Satank and Big Tree were tried and convicted for the murders at Salt Creek and sentenced to hang. Their sentences were later commuted to imprisonment. The chiefs were paroled in August, 1873 The War Department now unleashed its troops against the Indians, forcing a westward movement that would annihilate the Indian way of life The movement allowed for the expansion of the Texas range-cattle industry, the existence of farmers and agriculture and the growth of industry.

The Coastal Region has heavy soil and a variety of vegetation. East Texas is a region spanned with lush farms and pine forests. The area produces pork, beef, poultry and dairy products. The Central Texas Prairies Region extends from Austin northward to the Red River. Rich, black soils produce grain, cotton and livestock- support cropst Texas comes from the Spanish word, tejas, meaning friends or allies. Early Spanish explorers and mission- aries applied the name to the territory between the Trinity and Red Rivers called the 12nd of the Indians. THE INDIAN S The first Europeans found many Indian tribes in Texas and a variety of native cultures - the Caddoans of East Texas; the Karankawas along the Gulf Coast; the Wichita and Tonkowa tribes in Central Texas; the Coahuiltecans, a number of small tribes who lived south of San Antonio; and the Apaches, who lived in the western part of the state and later were forced to share their land with the Comanches. Among the nomadic Comanches was the famous Quamh Parker, one of the last Comanche war chiefsi He was the son of Chief Nocom and Cynthia Ann Parker, a captive White woman. The Oomanches were superb horsemen and warriors and made life unsafe for settlers until about 1875. SPANISH AND FRENCH EXPLORERS In 1519, Alsonso Alvarez de Pineda mapped the Gulf of Mexico's coast. Pineda spent 40 days at the mouth of the Rio Grande River - which he called River of Palms - and recommended a settlement be constructed at the site. Two hundred years later the first settlers arrived, i The first Spaniards to enter Texas were Alvar Nunez Cabcza de Vaca and three companions In 1682, a trader from Canada was the first settler in Texas The 1763 Treaty of Paris gave Florida to England from Spain in exchange for Spain retaining possession of western Louisiana. Between 1763 and 1821, Texas was ruled by the Spanish, then by Mexico before winning independence. COLONIZATION, REVOLUTION AND PIONEER INSTITUTIONS Simultaneous with the Mexican Revolution, the Indians slowed the westward expansion 0 settlers. In 1817, Secretary of Warjohn Cl Calhoun initiated the policy of removing all Indians from the American frontier to the Louisiana meridian e the western extremity of the timberlands and beyond In conjunction with this action, effective in 1825, land laws of Spain and Mexico became more attractive to settlers than those of the United States. By 1820, land was selling for 50 times less in Texas, The movement of settlers into Texas was largely the story of two men, Moses Austin and his son, Stephen Fuller Austin, On Dec. 3, 1820, the elder Austin approached Govt Antonio de Martinez in San Antonio, requesting permission to establish a colony of 300 families in Texas. Moses Austin died soon after his return home, and it was Stephen F. Ausrin, then 27 years old, A large part af Team; war once Camambe country. Pictured here i; meab Parker, one of the lat!

Austin later earned the title, Father of Texas By the beginning of the Texas revolution, the name Texan represented a group of tons , self-reliant individualists. After three centuries of Spanish rule, the sensitive Mexicans were unprepared for self-government. In 1825, President John Quincy Adams offered Mexico $1,000,000 for the removal of the border to the Rio Grande River. President Andrew Jackson raised Adams' offer. Again, ,Mexico declined the offer. It was becoming up rent a violent solution was the only course ogction. Folk tales say Americans never fought better than they did in Texas. They fought for a new way of life - as cattlemen and farmers on the brazen Texas frontierl While life on the early frontier has sometimes been compared to the Old South, most Texans could only dream of large plantations. They were small subsistence farmers with primitive homes and farming meth s. Inadequate frontier transportation systems were later updated to increase the efficiency of mail and cattle delivery and cotton exportation. Early settlers worried about Indians, epidemics, weather and crop failure. Early Texans acquired a reputation for lawlessness. Settled towns provided a sanctuary for saddle-weary range riders. In 1850, the state had no spare towns. Galveston, with its 4,177 cltinns, was the largest. San Antonio and Houston followed. Austin, long buffeted by Indians, had only 639 residents. Riding the crest of a population boom, Sun Antoniols population role to 8,236 by 1860. The best buildings in town were 15tu the hotels. Service was often poor. An exception was the full two-and-one-half-uory Menger Hotel, on the Alamo Plan in San Antonio. The building of fine-cut stone, together with its carpets, decorations and furnituxe, cost $16,000.

Cities T were growing, lifestyles reflected a diverse cultural background, and effects of industrialization were noticeable. But the state was decidedly rural. Newspapers advertised land and agriculture. The state s leading industries were cotton, cattle and land. For Texas, the 20th century did not begin unfiljan 10,1901 when the Lucas N0. 1 oil well blew out at Spindletop, Texas - near Beaumont - and brought in the state s first gusher.

These smaller, independently-owned oil companies profited from a seemingly inexhaustible supply of crude extracted from the coastal area. If California produced a barrage of panhandlets in 1849 with gold fever, the discovery of oil recreated the scene in tutn-of-the-century Texas That's oil in that that ground! Almost too much oil? Maybe for WT. Waggoner who, in 1910 while drilling a well on his North Texas ranch discovered oil, was quoted as saying, Damn the 011.1 wanted water By 1920, the state was floating on a sea of oil Petroleum production that year neared 100 million barrels valued at over $300 million while natural gas production assumed a distinguished role and produced over $7 million 1n revenue. Corporations and independent oil companies were working to stabilize the industry, but specmculat booms and massive finds hampered any control. Between 1918 and 1926, the Panhandle opened what was to be the largest gas field 1n the world. By the mid-19305 the Panhandle fields attracted 43 plants that produced over 50 percent of the natural gas extracted 111 Texas West Texas attracted attention with the discovery of the Permian Basin, and towns like Colorado City, Big Spring, Midland, Odessa and Pecos experienced a rapid population boom. Crane County organized a county government for the first time, significant because as late as 1918 there were only 14 citizens in the county. The Lone Star State has been the nation's leading oil-producing state since 1928. Gtowth of the oil industry led to activity in Texas banks, real estate and retail trade Farmers began to look like tanchers, and the term Texas Millionaire was llflt hrly roughneck: take the preciatu reroute from the Team; mil.

The story of the Texas petroleum industry before the Great Depression is one of spectacle and drama. On Oct 3, 1930, the N0 3 Daisy Bradford oil well 1n East Texas created an explosion 1n oil discovery The boom was on and independent oil men rushed to the sight. By the end of 1931, the fields in East Texas supported 5,652 wells. The situation led to massive overproduction. The price of oil tumbled. It was time fut regulation, and through the efforts of the Texas Railroad Commission, the price of oil was stabilized by limiting produCtion. The oil industty discovered a new growth 1n the production 017011 products - perhaps the greatest impact petroleum has had on Texas Durin World War II, the petroleum industry developed into the petrochemical industry Thousands of variations of plastics, synthetic rubbers, dyes, fertilizers and chemicals were being produced in the Gulf Coast, Permian Basin and Panhandle areas. Production in these areas continues today. Petroleum-related businesses in 1982 employed roughly one out of every 12 non-farmers in the state. For every 10 jobs created in the oil industry, another 37 are created in other sectors of the economy. Government has also prospered from the petroleum indusuy 1n Texas, With the oil and gas business claiming the title of the state 5 single largest taxpayer. 7W QA C OPSW survey of Texans1 occupations in 1860 reported 2,225 merchants, 1,471 doctors and 850 lawyers. There were 758 clergymen, but only eight architects. Four Texans described themselves as catchers of wild horses, a conventional occupation in those days. Among the unexpected occupations reported were four toymakers, six photographers, three actors, five clockmakers and six dancing masters. But of the 45,000 Texans who listed occupations, about 25,000 called themselves farmers. The most important crop for the marketplace was cotton The first large-scale cotton planter, Colonel Jared E. Grace, moved to Austin County from Alabama in late 18211 Except for years when pests destroyed the crops, producrion increased every yeatl Texas agriculture was ruled by cotton's supremacy for many decades following the cotton boom of 1850, By 1925,Texas farmers harvested 36 percent of the nation's cotton and 20 percent of the cotton grown in the worlds Farmers chose to produce sorghum and other varieties of livestock feed in lieu of cotton. Acreage devoted to livestock feed increased from 23,000 to 1,701,000 acres from 1879 to 1929. Cotton yields decreased in 1892 when the boll weevil destroyed crops after crossing the Rio Grande River and again in the 1930s because of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Although cotton was the cash crop in early Texas. mm was indispensable To a large extent, corn sustained the people and livestock of Texas. Sweet potatoes tanked next to corn in importance Other crops included Irish potatoes, wheat, beans, peas and melons Whereas, livestock included poultry, hogs, horses, sheep, goats and cattleuCitrus fruits were a profitable commercial crop and, by 1929, 85 percent of Texas' five million citrus trees grew the delicious Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit. During the 18805, sugar production increased on 5,000 acres and 45 plantations in Brazoria, Ft. Bend, Matagorda and Wharton counties. This area became known as the Sugar Bowls The sugar industry grew until weather Caused its demise. Commercial farming decreased drastically in the 19305. Since the Depression, farming patterns have changed. Between 1935 and 1980, the number of farms declined from 501,014 to 186,000 as the rural population fell from S9 to 17 percent. Scientific irrigation methods and the need for modern farm equipment transformed the farming trade into a large, profitable industry. While there are fewer farmers today, the average size of a Texas farm between 1930 and 1980 grew from 275 to 744 acres. Cotton remains king and today nets the Texas economy more than $1 billion annually, Texas continues to grow more cotton than any other state in the nation. LIFE ON THE FARMS: A PIONEER LEGEND Agrarian efforts of the Spaniards in the 181h century laid the foundation for the formal organization of farming and ranching in Texas, Missionaries adopted a life of farming for their own survivali The first settlers, those who followed Stephen F, Austin, were lured by cheap land. In 1821, for only a filing fee, a family would be granted a labor of land 1177 acres1 for farming and a league of land 14,428 acres1 for grazing. The farm population boom occurred with the passage of the Homestead Act of 1854. This act gave 160 acres of land to anyone who resided on the land for more than three years. Homestead life was ausrere. The double log cabin was the most popular form of housing. It consisted of two rooms under a continuous roof. Usually, a front porch extended the length of the cabin. Chimneys were commonly made of sticks covered with mud Floors were optional Spaces between the logs were filled with clay or mortar. The Germans' in Texas built better houses than other settlers, frequently using stone, but most Texas frontier homes were best described b the future President of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes He said settlers' homes had walls you could throw a cat through at random.' For a state that could have produced fruits, vegetables and cereals and one where cattle were abundant, the diet of most early Texans was strangely monotonousl The most common vegetable was the sweet potato. People rarely are meat, and many didn't have milk and butter. The early Texas farm was almost self-sufficient, Candles or lard-buming lamps provided light. Cotton was spun and woven into cloth. Within a year, one Texan wrote in his diary he made a wheel, a coffin, a chum, a cradle, a pump auger, an ax yoke and a pair of shoes. By the turneof-the- century, ready-made goods were rapidly replacing homemade materials and life on the early Texas farm slowly evolved into a sophisticated, late 20th century industry.

The cattle drive era ended with the introduction of railroads, oil wells and fences. In 1866, an estimated 260,000 cattle were started on these trails for Sedalia and other railroad heads in Missouri from which cows would be shipped to profitable Northeastern markets. The best known cattle trail was the Chisholm Trail. It was opened in 1867 by Jesse Chisholm, a Cherokee Indian traden The trail began in South Texas, ran by Austin and Izmpasas, passed between Fort Worth and Weatherford, crossed the Red Rivet and snaked through Indian territory to Caldwell, Kansas. Westward movement by farmers and ranchers forced the cattlemen to seek new trails By the 18805, every large division of West Texas had secured a railroad, and from 1870 to 1950 the economic transformation of Texas assumed great proportions - latgely because of railroads. By 1904, Texas contained more miles of railroad track than any other state. Although subsisrence farming did not disappear, most farmers turned to the cash crop - cotton, Commercial agriculture continued to provide a living for the majority of Texans until the beginning of oil production at Spindletop. By the 19203, the value of industrial production exceeded that of agricultural production, With the rise of cities and the decline of the agrarian state, industrialization had come to most in Texas. To Texans of the late 19th century, railroads were the key to progress and prosperity. When a railroad bypassed a community, it was certain to become a gh05t town. Many railroads were courted by citizens and sometimes railroads received gifts of free state land in exchange for placing their tracks by certain towns. The greatest beneficiary Was the Texas and Pacific Railroad, which was given 5,167,360 acres. Approximately 32,150,000 acres of state land were awarded to railroad companies, an area as large as the entire state of Alabama. Construction of the bulk of the state's major railroads occurred during two decades By the close of the 18905, the state had 8,710 miles of railroad track. The Texas and Pacific Railway reached Fort Worth in 1876 and met the eastbound Southern Pacific at Sierra Blanca. Here the famous agreement between C.P. Huntington of the Southern Pacific and Jay Gou1d of the Texas and Pacific was reached. e two agreed to share rail lines from Sierra Blanca to El Paso Among the major railroad companies that built in Texas during this era were the Houston and Texas Central, the Gulf, the Colorado and Santa Fe, the Fort Worth, the Denver City, the Texas and Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the International and Great Northern, The railroad industry suffered during the Great Depression and World War II. Railways fought a losing battle against automobiles, airplanes and the change to new transportation systems. Texas, however, remains number one in terms of railroad mileage and is served by seven class-One rail carriers. The primary rail tonnage originating in the state includes non-metallic mineral, chemical, farm, petroleum, wood and lumber products. The Texas highway system ranks among the natiun's best. Federal interstates, state highways and rural roads link the regions of West and East Texas to the Panhandle, and all of South Texas to the Rio Grande Rivert The vastness of Texas demands a reliable network of roads. With a trip from El Paso to Orange being 860 miles, a New Englander could see several states traveling the same distance on the East CoaSt. As early as 1883, a projecr Was begun to deepen the channel of Chlveston's port. But in the annals of artificial ports, no Story is more impressive than that of Houston's. In 1908, Houston citizens inaugurated a movement to secure a deep water channel. By 1925, with 310.6 million of federal and local funding, the channel Was extended 55 miles from the Houston harbor to the outer harbor and deepened to 35 feet. Houston is now the leading port in Texas and one of the largest in the nation. Dominating developments in transportation during the postwar years were automobiles and airplanes, Motor vehicle registration rose from 2,192,654 in 1946 to 11,297,958 in 1978. Only California has more automobiles on the highway than Texas. Commercial air passenger service in Texas began in 1928. Growth was modest during World War II, but rapidly increased in the postwar yeatst Between 1965 and 1978, the number of people traveling by air in Texas tripled.

Before the first white settlements were established in Texas, Spanish missionaries were converting Indians to Christianity and teaching them Western traditions and ideals. Education didn't become an issue in Texas government until Stephen F. Austin's first colony was settled. Each colony in 1836 was required to have a school to teach not just the three Ris, but a variety of subjects including eligious organizations became instrumental in the education of Texas' youth, and in the early 19th century, a variety of religious colleges were opened. The first, Rutersville College, opened its doors on Feb. 1, 1840. The founder was a Methodist named Martin Ruter. The Baptists esmblished Baylor University in 1845. Baylor, located in Waco, is the oldest continuously operated institution of higher learning in the state. When Texas entered the Union in 1845, its constitution pledged to make changes in the field of education Later, the state adopted a schedule of funding schools through property taxes. A rzboolbone enablixbed in 1890 war mu Jtanding in 19651 history, rhetoric, composition, philosophy and foreign languages. The Morill Act in 1862 prompted the founding of the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University to promote agricultural education. The next major educatiunal development occurred in 1915 When the Compulsory Attendance Law was passed. This law required children between the ages of 8 and 14 to attend school for 60 days-a- year, unless the child had a proper excuse. The law was amended in 1918 to require 80 days of attendance and amended again in 1919 to require 100 days of attendance. In 1949, State Senator A.M. Aiken supported a series of bills through the legislature aimed at improving education. The new system immediately showed positive results, and the quality of education in Texas grew to become respected nationwide. The United States involvement in World War 11 led to a drop in college enrollment, but enrollment soared in 1944 with the introduction of the GI Bill of Rights and the flood of returning veterans wanting to enroll in college. The growth in college enrollment continued through the 19605 and into the 197051 However, the role of education and its influence on out lifestyles may change in the future if enrollment figures at the high school and university level continue to drop - a recent trend attributed to a decline in the birth rate after 1967. In addition, university budget reductions and a tightening of student loan requirements have forced both schools and students to economize their educational opportunities.

Nevertheless, the committees efforts were undaunted, and the missionary zeal that brought Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian ministers to Texas lives in many counties today. hen the state entered the Union in 1845 - 12,5 percent of the population belonged to a church, Camp revivals soon became a way to relieve the monotony of the frontier.
