The Pep rallies of this year have ff really been nice. We had a lot of school spirit that carried over to the guys and helped them through the games. l think that this year pep rallies were a great improvement. The cheerleaders did a lot of spectacular forms and dances. Also the band had a lot of spirit, especially that fight for the spirit stick between the Band and the Hussars because it got everyone excited. The pep rallies showed the players that we were really behind them. Lenora Williams -I2 . . X f 'V 1 J' ,A , A ta 'X -sg r - 4 p , 5 HIE' 7, Qi H 1 . ,, V, Pep Rallies exciting. lt's a t i m e t o g e t together with friends and show your school spirit. The cheerleaders and other organization work hard to try and make TJ's pep rallies fun and full of excitement. This year the hard work went almost unnoticed and unap- preciated. l think that everyone should par- ticipate in the pep rallies. I know that a lot of people didn't attend the pep rallies because they were after or before school. l think the pep rallies should be during school as they used to be. This would more than likely assure bet- ter attendance at next year's pep rallies. 1 hould be fun and S LIVING ON THE CUTTING EDGE - Paige Hum- phrey - 11 dangerously entertains the audience at the city-wide pep rally with her unique knife act.

Buying corsages and wondering whether or not you're getting asked to the dance are just some of the events involved with homecoming. Everyone began to prepare for the homecoming football game and the crowning of the queen. The sun disappeared, and the moon took its place. The stands slowly filled with people eating and talking. As half time drew near, the homecoming princesses grew tense. Both sides had completed their perfor- mances, and the band formed the traditional TJ and the Hussars their heart. Then the tension mounted as the band began playing Friends. The princesses were introduced. First to be recognized was Kris Chirafis - 12, Leigh-An Guidry - 12, DeEdria McDaniel - 12, han- non Moore - 12, Vanessa Quintela - 12, and last but not least Gretchen Vaughan - 12. The silence was at an overwhelming high as the name Vanessa Quintela was called, the crowd roared as our '86-'87 queen was crown- ed, Vanessa after being crowned, through an ear to ear smile stated, l was excited and sur- prised. l felt that it was an honor being crown- ed, because my sister was also homecoming queen. The night came to an end and the crowd departed. However, the night was not over. There was still a victory over Nederland to be celebrated at the dance. Some arrived at the cafeteria, took pictures and left, but many also stayed. Kathy Salvagio - 10 said, Alter the game I went to the dance, I had a lot of fun. The activities came to an end and so did the night as the dance rounded out the evening. - Laurie Porras PLEASE DON'T LET THIS CROWN FALL OFF - Queen Vanessa Quintela - 12 covers up her wor- ries about the loose crown with a beautiful smile and some roses.
