Beginnings could be for term papers, friendships, or a skiing trip, but this beginning was spe- cial. It was the beginning of school.Some people might not think that was very spe- cial, but they could prob- ably imagine many reasons why it was fun. Getting out of bed at 6:00 A.M. and do- ing homework was not the greatest things that some- one could think of doing. Being with friends and catching up on the latest gossip were more exciting things that happened at school.Many students re- membered the highlights of their first days at school. Senior Derek Riley com- mented, I remember my very first day at school, I was scared to let my Mom leave ... When I first drove up, I got scared be- cause I thought we were going to have to go to school in the old building, said Junior Jeff Faunce. Some students were ready to begin school again. Ju- nior Kirk Smith stated, By the end of summer, I was ready for school to begin ... I wanted to see how many new girls would show up. I was excited to come back to school this year because of my friends and it is my last year. I had Senioritis before the year started, exclaims Senior L'Cena Weems. Most any student who was asked about this year believed that The Beginning got off to a great start. “Why not begin the year with a look at the past? says Sophomore Larry Ander- son and Senior Jerry Keeton as they remi- nisce about the last year. The annual helps them to capture some of their memories. 2 OPENING The first assembly brings many eager and amazed students such as Seniors Jeffrey Brummett and Brad Connelly. Everyone comes back from the blistering summer months to begin the routine of school once again Freshman Randy Pollen looks with uncer- tainty and asks. Where do I go next?” Finding the right place at the right time is often a hard task to accomplish in the beginning Senior Rodney Alexander starts the year off with a bang — and a good laugh. It is often easy to find him with a smile on his face, especially in Mrs. Kenealy's Chemis- try class. Once again, the hall clutters with students carrying new books and searching for new lockers. The Beginning” always brings excitement — olong with just a little bit of confusion. BEGINNING 3 ACADEMICS I though Mrs. Ken- ealy meant next Tues- day was when the sci- ence projects were due! , 'T was sick the day she assigned them! , and I got my facts mixed up! , are all the excuses every- one used when sud- denly, two days before the projects wee due, the students realized they hadn't even start- ed their science pro- jects for the science fair. Staying up until midnight pasting to- gether atoms, and writing the paper on their topics at 3 o'clock, was what people ended up do- ing the night before the projects were due. ”1 dissected my frog for the science fair the night before it was due. It was really fun because I did it right after eating my din- ner. , said Sophomore Melanie Perales. Not only in Science was procrastination a problem though. When the Juniors and Seniors had to turn in a re- search paper in English, there were quite a few who waited till the last minute. If there was ever a place that putting off was prevalent it was at school. For years kids have waited until the last minute on assignments. But that's just one of the facts of life in school.

The sci- ence projects were dis- played at Open House in the gymnasium. Catching a few winks is all Senior Charlotte Turner Igwe is concerned about as she “rests her eyes in her Gov- ernment class WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER IT'S CHILD'S PLAY The thought of re- cess excites the soul in almost every elemen- tary student. Without playground equipment though, it can be a lit- tle boring. The Trenton kids were faced with this dilemma at the be- ginning of the year, be- cause to build the new high school, they had to tear down their playground. The par- ents of the children de- cided they would help out the administration by forming a PTO to raise the money for the equipment. The PTO sponsored pizza and chili suppers, dances, cake sales, and even a World Class Wrestling night to raise money. I could have died when Vince Apollo (the wrestler) picked me and Jennifer (Trusty) out of the crowd and hugged us! , ex- claimed eighth grader Kristi Moore about the wrestling night. Every- one enjoyed the fund- raisers of the PTO and the elementary has en- joyed their new equip- ment. ACADEMICS DIVISION 5 Aren't these two ladies attractive? Take a closer look and you will find Seniors Brod Connelly and Rodney Alexander behind the dresses. They won the Best Costume award for Celebrity Day. Students are not the only ones who hear stories through the grapevine.

Day 1 • 50’s Day Monday brought the tardy bell at 8:00 A.M., classroom lectures and throwbacks from the 50's. People ranging from teenybop- pers to Lenny and Squiggy roamed the halls. The guys were seen in the greasy hair, rolled up sleeves, penny loafer attire, while the girls came dressed with pony- tails, poodle skirts and bobby socks. Day 2 • Inside Out Day As far as the 8:00 A M. bell was concerned, Tuesday was just an- other day. But the tardy bell brought all of the students' wear- ing their clothes inside out and backwards. People wore their pants, shirts, socks, and shoes in- side out and or backwards. Some people went as far as turn- ing earrings around, or turning the shoelaces in a shoe. Day 3 • Celebrity Day Not only did Wednesday bring celebrities to school, it also brought many people who didn't care whether or not it altered their normal appearance. Celeb- rities such as Michael J. Fox, Buffy and Hildegard, Betty Boop. Al- falfa, and Cousin It showed up to see what school life was all about. Day 4 ■ Punk Day Thursday really started Wednesday night when students began to look for the clothes. makeup and hairstyles to make them fit in for Punk Day. The halls between classes looked like the New York Subway or L A's famed nightclubs. The rule seemed to be - the more weird the better! Day 5 • Tiger Day Friday brought 3 things to school, the beginning of the weekend, the end of Spirit Week, and Tiger Day. Roaming the halls were the Tiger fans, ready to cheer the teams on to victory. That is really what Spirit Week was all about. Loyalty and pride filled every area of the school building - which indicated that we did catch the spirit. What planet did he come from? won- ders the other students in the hall as Junior Brent Dancer proudly displays his punk hairdo to onlookers. This attire won Brent the Best Costume for Punk Day. Junior Kirk Smith takes Spirit Week literally by taking Tiger Day by the tail.

If they had asked, then they obviously hadn't ever taken a computer course or they would have known the BASIC lan- guage of a computer. BASIC is usually the first thing you learn in a computer class. Computer classes have been required to pass the eighth grade for the past four years, so the Seniors were the last of the bunch who didn't have to take the class, “Back then I thought I was really getting out easy, but now I know that it's going to be hard in Sixth grader Glen Prater makes the chalk dust fly as he finishes up what he is writing on the board.

When Junior Kirk Smith was asked what he thought about his computer class he re- plied, A piece of advice to any- one who plans on taking a com- puter course from a TI-IN net- work- DON'T DO IT! My grades can prove it! Most everyone in the Computer Science class agreed that if you signed up for a computer TI-IN class, you were getting yourself into trouble. Even if it is a lot of trouble, ev- eryone, sooner or later, has to submerge into “the computer age and take computers as one of the basics of schoolwork. Sophomores Mary Stufflebeme and Mar- ian Bodden get to work studying on their test for the next period Everyone usually waits until lunch to cram in last’s night's assignment Seventh grader Jason Pierce struggles to keep alert in his class as he works on his assignment.

Seventh graders Jennifer Pounce and Carol Kuykendall perform the one thing everyone in school has to do sooner or later - dissect a frog in one of your science classes BACK TO THE BASICS 9 c Everywhere You Look There Are OPY CATS Copying is a process which starts at a very early age, even before school. How much copy- ing actually goes into a school day? Kids copy every day with- out really knowing it. Copying the way another person talks, walks, sings, or acts is a common scene at playground time. School is the place where ev- ery kid learns how to be them- selves - from someone else's hab- its. Copying other people's habits continues all the way until the Golden Age. During high school, kids copy everything from hair- styles to homework. Changing hairstyles doesn't really hurt or help, as long as it is not the kind of haircut that would make Mom go through the wall. What do students think about copying homework? Whenever the paper is due and it's not fin- ished, yeah, it's tempting to copy Fourth grader Ramona Lopez attempts to copy what most girls dream of being, a gymnast Here Ramona tries her hardest to get a perfect 10. someone else's paper,'' says Freshman Max Trusty. Senior Jerry Keeton states, Who doesn't copy? while third grader Dacia Roberts exclaims in a whispered tone, We'd get in big trouble if we got caught copying! Copy- ing someone else's paper doesn't help to learn. It might help to get a better grade, if a student doesn't get caught. Sophomore Melanie Perales says, I really can't say too much about copying, because I some- times do it myself. Kim Blagburn, eighth grader, adds. “I agree with Jerry Keeton. Everyone copies - even the smart kids. An- other eighth graders Richard Zim- mer states, I ain't gonna say nothing. Copying clothes is another common thing. Maybe it's not really copying, just the same taste in apparel. Seniors Sylvia Taylor and Dwain Burrows enjoy wearing matching shirts. There are also many numbers of Guess or Lee jeans being worn in the halls. Whether copying clothes, homework, hairstyles, or one an- other, one thing is certain; copy- ing something or someone is nec- essary whether it is realized or not. As the Golden Age appears, so does gray hair, wrinkles, and more copying. Many older peo- ple try to look and or act like young people. Just think about it - don't young people do just the opposite? Sophomore Diane Lake adds. After all, we are trying to copy from other award-winning annual staffs in order to make our book better too. So, it doesn't matter what the age, copying is a life- long process. 10 ACADEMICS Sophomore Lorry Anderson stays in fash- ion while taking a Biology test in Mrs Ken- ealy's Science Room.

It implied that everyone worked really hard dur- ing the week so they could have fun on the weekends. Most peo- ple live by this belief almost reli- giously. But for some, the thought of the weekend is almost as terri- fying as the week itself. These poor souls have to trade in their pens and pencils for brooms and mops, because they are the people who have jobs outside of school. Not only on the weekends do these people work. Some people leave at noon, after their re- quired classes and go to their jobs. This is one of the good things about having a job - you get to miss school. Even when school is involved there are a lot of times people get out of class but still have to work. Before the Halloween carni- val the Juniors put long, hard hours cleaning and remodeling the old high school. Even though it's still another job to do, everyone in school is al- ways willing to trade places with anyone, just to get out of school. Seniors L'Cena Weems and Sylvia Taylor learn the tricks of the trade in their Typing II class They work on jobs that are simu- lations of business transactions in the real world Mrs Kenealy's Physical Science class shows an experiment at the front of the classroom With their safety equipment on, they're ready for almost any kind of on explosion TRADING PLACES 13 All The Work Is Worth It IVE ON STAGE Scripts, monologues, makeup, costumes, set pieces, rehearsals, and good old-fashion fun went into the making of the produc- tion, “The Best Christmas Pag- eant Ever. Not only did the tech- nical aspect of theatre appear on stage, so did actors with tal- ent. But not all talent is easy to come by. Rehearsal after re- hearsal was needed to perfect that very important line, or to get the choreography just right. Does rehearsal really prepare you for the moment when the lights come up? “Even though my part was small, “I was still scared. Scared to the point where I thought I was about to forget my line! laughed Sophomore Diane Lake, who played the part of one of the town gossips. Actually getting on stage and performing takes a lot of nerve and confidence in yourself. Get- ting it all together before open- ing night can be a real challenge. Learning how to do makeup. knowing your lines, picking out the costume make for you, and knowing where to go when you get out on stage can get rather hectic. What about opening night? Anyone walking backstage to see the final touches being made can feel and hear the butterflies and the nerves. On the opening night of “The Best Christmas Pag- eant Ever the excitement was in the air. The Christmas play was not the only project for the Theatre Arts class. The main project was to mold and make a confident per- son. Getting to know the feelings, thoughts and anxieties of a would-be actor is the most impor- tant aspect of drama. What many people don't realize is that live on stage is life. Every day there are moments when one is on that stage with the curtain drawing apart and the lights up, when success follows that open- ing, the work is always worth it. 14 ACADEMICS One of the many fun moments of Theatre Arts class was the Second Six Weeks Test Here, the class poses before they put on a five minute scene with no rehearsals! Opening night brought Drama Director Linda Peterson into the dressing room to put on the final wrinkles and help prepare Senior Cheryl Kemp, for her role as Mrs Armstrong in the Christmas play.

John will be sure to fright en many students. The Juniors did a fright ful job of redecorating the school 16 ACADEMICS Who Says School Can't Be Fun, What About RIGHT NIGHT BOO was a frequently used word on Halloween night when many students found diversions from the usual school-day. The East gym was turned into an ar- cade of fun-filled booths for the students and the public to en- joy. These booths served, not only as excitement for all, but also as money-making projects for each class and organization. The Marriage Booth, Basket- ball Throw, and Slave for a Day , just to name a few booths pleased many. One minute par- ents could look around and their nine-year-old daughter was sin- gle; next thing they knew, out she walks from the Marriage booth after just recently tying the knot . Other students simply joined the festivities by dressing up as their favorite freaky crea- ture or person. Although those things were fun, the highlight of the evening was a journey through the Haunted House . The Junior class “refurnished the old high school building with many scary, creepy features. Even as peo- ple walked up to pay their mon- ey, they could be frightened by Mrs. Peterson, who was dressed as a witch. The Haunted House was a maze of horror- filled sights and screaming peo- ple. Junior Delynda Todd re- called, I just remember every- body was screaming and crying ... even the Seniors. The night was filled with fun and games - or shall we say, chills and thrills - which proved to be a FRIGHT NIGHT for all. Senior Lesa Hamons stares with amaze- ment at the scary costumes displayed by the students. Senior Dean Withrow searches tor the right booth to spend his money on, which could be the Lollipop Tree . Even teachers have to get away from the dreary cycle of school days. Mrs. Linda Peterson. English teacher, shows that she too, can participate in the frighf'ful ac- tivities dressing up as a witch.

Ted Lyons are up on stage 18 ACADEMICS Graduation For The Seniors Was HE FINAL STEP What was the final step to be- coming a graduate? Was it the last high school final exam a Sen- ior would ever have to take? Or maybe it was when the Seniors received their diplomas? At the beginning of the year all of the Senior class had to choose a speaker for their commence- ment. They chose John Cutsinger who was an award-winning jour- nalism teacher. Mr. Cutsinger made a speech which the audi- ence and the Seniors enjoyed thoroughly. Senior Ken Connelly said, “I really liked our speaker, and I think it was better than most speeches, because it was really funny, and he kept you enter- tained through the whole thing. After they picked their speak- er, the Seniors still had many deci- sions to make. The color of their gowns, and what their invitations would look like were just a couple of things they had to decide. In the end, when graduation came, everyone realized that it all had been worth it. The Seniors, after 13 years of books, home- work, teachers, and frustration, were going to leave it all behind them, and go on to their new lives. It was both a sad and happy occasion for the Seniors and their family and friends. Many were left with mixed feelings. Even at the eighth grade graduation there was the feeling of finally getting into high school for the eighth graders, and their parents realizing their babies were growing up. Though graduation was the fi- nal step for high school, it was just a start for the Seniors futures. And though they had to leave behind the place where they met their best friend, asked their girlfriend out on their first date, or learned how to play their favorite sport, they will always have their mem- ory to take them back to high school. Senior Derek Riley gives his speech as Sa- lutat orian at the Senior commencement. Derek also was awarded with many schol- arships for college. Senior Lynne Graves puts on the finishing fouches before going out for fhe ceremo- ny. the last thing she and her class will all do together. GRADUATION ORGANIZATIONS Between struggling to maintain a decent grade point average and working desper- ately to have the best social life, there was something else in every teenager's life at Tren- ton. At sometime or another everyone was hooked into an organi- zation. FHA, FFA, or Beta were just a few that were offered. All of the organiza- tions had their own special purposes. SADD was an organization that served as a public guide to students to abstain them from drinking and driving. Beta club was an orga- nization which com- mended students for academic achieve- ments. They got to have a weekend full of fun at the state Beta club convention in Aus- tin. The Beta conven- tion headquarters was an awesome place to visit, but I guess our hotel was not as crowded as the hotel they held the conven- tion at, said Sopho- more Marian Bodden. FFA and FFIA played pretty major roles in the organizations this year. They held a joint fair at the beginning of the year, as always, where entries ranged from sewing items to goats for the pet show. After the fair though, the FHA found out they had a bit of a money problem. They hadn't made as much as they thought they would have at the conces- sion stand at the fair, so they had to have fund- raisers throughout the year. FFIA sponsor Mrs. Snow said, After the panic of not having the funds we'd anticipat- ed, we accepted the challenge of budget- ing our money to meet the responsibilities of being an FFIA chap- ter. Being in an organiza- tion was always fun and challenging, but it was always hard to find that in between time to be in one.

Sophomore Diane Kuyken- dall helps out the FFA chap- ter to get ready for the FFA FHA fair in the fall by making signs to use as directional guides at the fair. WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER GRANDPARENTS' DAY There has almost al- ways been some kind of holiday for just abut any occasion. A holi- day to try and set things on fire - Fourth of July; a holiday to dress up as a ghoul - Hallow- een; and a holiday to show appreciation for your grandparents - Grandparents Day. On Grandparents' Day the elementary students took that ex- tra effort to show just how much they really cared about THEIR grandparents. They had them come up to the school and see some of their work. When one of the grandparents, Johnnie Mae Butler, was asked about the day she ex- claimed, I thought it was great! And it's so nice to have such ter- rific grandkids! In the afternoon they all gathered in the lunch room and ended the day when the kids served cookies and punch to everyone.

Time for the annual FFA FHA Fair rolled around once more. Students in Agriculture began preparing their show animals for the big day. Letters were sent out, registration came in. and pets were fed and washed up — all of this was a part of getting ready. Sophomore Mary Stuf- flebeme states, have to bathe and dry my chickens — along with sitting them in the garage for about two days — so that they will be fluffy for the show. We had to tie cages, make posters, and put up holding pens. Preparing for the show can be tremendous work! comments Sophomore Diane Kuykendall. Sophomore James McCarley exclaims, 'T had thirty minutes to get my calf ready for the show that morning. I could hardly catch 'Midnight' so that I could get her washed. These students were just a few who worked hard for SHOWTIME. The students got up early in the morning to begin their day working, although many just came to watch. People from other towns rose out of bed even earlier so they could all be a part of SHOWTIME. Some problems in schedules arose, but many had the attitude the show must go on . Of course, the concession stand was run by the FHA members so that hungry visitors could re- fresh themselves before return- ing to the pasture. Winners such as Sophomore James McCarley realized what SHOWTIME was all about — a lot of hard work for a few daz- zling moments in the spotlight at SHOWTIME. if Hr iJr ft Senior Brad Connelly registers contestants to show cattle This job often takes most of the day at the fair Junior Kirk Smith stands near the table waiting to make an announcement over the loudspeaker. 22 ORGANIZATIONS Sophomore Mary Stufflebeme stands near her chicken waiting to show it.

FHA members help to prepare the concession stand for booming business They often run the stand on fair day SHOWTIME 23 FUND-RAISERS Well Worth The Effort Organizations such as the Beta club and FHA require plenty of ef- fort and hard work on each members part to make things just right. For Beta members, working hard and putting forth that extra effort allows them to stay mem- bers. Keeping that 85 average of all the classes combined can get rough sometimes, especially when those extra-curricular ac- tivities start getting in the way. Every Beta member knows the feeling of wondering whether this six weeks will be S-DAY (suspen- sion day) from the Beta organiza- tion. Raising money and becoming one big team is what each FHA member faces. Selling candy to help raise money for the FHA con- vention in Tyler kept all of the members busy. The work paid off with FHA member Lana Glass- cock placing first in Job Applica- tion Interview. The work also paid off for Sophomore Diane Lake who performed a dance routine in the talent show. After the nerves and butterflies went away, the fun began Conventions are a fun way to get paid for all the hard work put into the year. Going to a dif- ferent town, meeting new peo- ple and hanging around with your regular friends bring memories to last for the rest of your life. These organizations are well worth the effort of raising the needed funds for conventions. Getting the clothes arranged, taking a shower and hoping no one sees the after - shower” look are just a few things Junior Anissa Todd is worrying about while at the Beta Club convention in Austin. 24 ORGANIZATIONS Shopping has always been a part of the convention scene.

But as the old saying goes, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! this is certainly true. The Annual Staff puts in long hard hours to produce the best book ever - but there's still time left for a little fun. Grabbing some hamburgers or going to Ms. Rounsaville's to cash in on the free ice cream days are a real treat. All of the hours and time put into the annual makes these times even more special. Organizing, talking and re- presenting the student body are just some of the things ex- pected of Student Council members. It's not easy to make students pick up trash outside when the members are kids themselves. Working with the system can have some real benefits. Having to get up and make a speech and cam- paign to get elected can be pretty scary. Other organizations which work hard but still have plenty of time for fun are SADD, BETA, FHA and FCA. All of these or- ganizations put forth the effort with loads of fun as the result. My favorite time at the BETA convention was the jamming all the way up there and all the way back, said Junior Tony Brasher. Meeting new people was also pretty fun. I've never seen so many people!” When asked what her favorite part of the BETA convention was. Sen- ior Lori Smithson replied, The dance that Saturday night was great! I met my boyfriend and we got to party. It was alot of fun! Exactly what is fun? Fun might be hanging around your friends, meeting new people, learning about how to be a leader, or just being yourself. Senior Amy Parks adds, Hav- ing fun is being yourself. If someone doesn't like you when you're you, that's their problem. No matter which or how many organizations you join, there is work and fun - they go hand in hand. Annual Staffers Jayson West, Lana Glass- cock, Diane lake and Sponsor Ms Dortha Rounsaville consult with Principal Gary Bo- hannon on their next move on mug day Hip, Hip, Hooray!! says Senior Amy Park upon arriving home from the Beta Con- vention where no sleep and too much pizza took its toll. FUN-RAISERS 27 FAIR COMPETITION District, Regional, 8c State UIL UIL literary contests were a good way for students to get more interested in their academ- ics. At first, people weren't inter- ested in competing Sophomore Mark Phelan stated, When I got in to Feature Writing I wasn't real- ly all that interested, but when I placed at district I found I kind of liked it.

No one was the best at everything. But take all the individuals who won awards at the Awards Banquet and they represented the best of everything From Texas History to the Best All Around Girl, each area had an award to give to the most deserving student. Seventh grader Josh Gomel stated, I won the Pre-Algebra award because I deserve it the most out of any- one. Josh was just one of the many students who proved to be the best of everything. The night of the annual Awards Banquet was a night of the Best of Everything . The banquet started off with a meal, consisting of everyone's best recipes, for the people who attended Next came the awads ceremony. Many eager students attended in order to be recognized for their hard work. Some of the awards given were the Tiger and Tiger- ette awards, which went to Sen- iors Brad Connelly, Lesa Hamons. and Junior Melanie Davis Senior Lori Smithson was named Best All Around Girl. And last but not least, Mr. and Mrs. THS was awarded to Senior Rodney Alex- ander and Junior Anissa Todd Many other students joined these in being The Best of Everything Coach Jarrett Tucker stands at the micro- phone while his wife.

Each day had a routine that everyone went through. It probably started with a jump out of bed, from the sound of the alarm. Junior Shannon Rule exclaimed, AT 6:45 A M. the only thing that saved me was my snooze button. After dragging out of bed everyone rushed to get to school before the morning bell.For the next 8V2 hours they went through school thinking about what they would do after school. At 3:20 school might have ended, but that's when student life began Shopping work, or just goofing off were all the things that hap- pened after hours . From the crack of dawn to the still of the night was always filled with a routine that got people though every- day living.

WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER CASTAWAYS, WELCOME HOME! Here's a tale of the castaways, ... The Seniors didn't have to worry about being shipwrecked as the tragic 7 of Gilligan's Is- land had. But their problem of having a fire aboard the cruise ship they took while on their Senior trip was a memory they, and their loved ones left back at home would always remember. The family and friends of everyone on the trip made sure their welcome home would also be memorable. We expected the kids to be in about noon, so by 9 o'clock A M. my sister and I went up to the school to decorate for their arrival said Pat With- row, mother of Senior Dean Withrow. As the bus full of home- sick Trentonites drove up everyone cheered and some even cried, when they came to re- alize that they were home, and that they were safe. STUDENT LIFE DIVISION 33 Everywhere You Look Theres A Couple IN EVERY CROWD There's one in every crowd. is on old expres- sion that everyone under the sun has heard. But what about, There's a couple in every crowd ? Even though this expres- sion isn't as well known, it's just as true. Every- where. in every nook and cranny of the school there were always cou- ples trying to spend a few seconds alone, before having to dash off into the crowd to go to their next classes. After school, though they had just seen each other, the twosomes rushed home, got on the phone, and made up for lost time at school by talking for hours about their days at school or just anything until their par- ents pried their ears from the phones and made them say good night. The relationships in school were not always touching moments in the hall and loving phone calls though. Throughout the year every pair had their fights, and when they did. the whole school knew about them. Everyone would wait in anticipation to see the ending results, which were usually a happy ending because the two- some would kiss and make up. Even if the couple did break up. there was al- ways another, couple in every crowd .

COUPLES 35 Students Take Things Into Stride As They STEP THAT STEP The guy of any girl's dream — tall, dark, and very handsome — was standing less than five inches away from her. The moment was just right — lights dimmed and music played slowly — then suddenly, the si- lence was broken. OUCH! she hollered, when his size twelve tennis shoe stepped on her frail toes. This described the beginning of a dream with the ending of a nightmore, which could be found in many story- book romances. But sto- rybooks were not the only place where this incident happened. Many girls can remember that same thing happening to them in the school gymnasium while attending a dance. I love to dance, espe- cially with someone who can dance, stated Sophomore Mary Stuffle- beme. Most everyone would agree that it was much better when their partner knew how to Step that Step . High school dances were not the only place where people could be found stepping that step . Elementary stu- dents also had their ex- periences with dancing. These students remem- bered their many days of practicing a routine for the TES program. Fifth graders Stacy Glasscock and Kerri Welborn both agreed, Practicing for our routine got pretty tir- ing after four weeks of it. All of the practice paid off when they showed their stuff in front of their parents. This went to show that students took things into stride as they stepped that step . Dancing can even be done by a pair as shown by Second graders Daniel Skinner. Billy Nel- son, Beth McMasters. and Melis- sa McGinley as they sing Best Friends' These fifth graders strut their stuff while doing a country and western dance at the TES pro- gram.

STEP THAT STEP 37 The Juniors And Seniors Were Suited To A T While PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ From the minute that the Junior class began to choose their theme for the prom, they knew that they were going to make the prom different and exciting for each person attending. It took them a while, but they figured it out. Why not 'Puttin' on the Ritz'? they asked. Immediately they began to build on the idea — gold-rimmed glasses, checkered floors, and plenty of black, red, and white balloons would ob- viously make it ritzy. Ev- eryone in town could tell something was going on when they saw the guys walk into the tuxedo shop and spend eighty dollars for a tuxedo. And what about the girls — prom dresses cost much more. But it was all worth it when a guy melted as he saw a girl walk through the door in her flashy dress. Just dressing up wasn't what the evening was all about — this was a night that would be a memory in each Senior's mind. The Junior class did a lot in helping to make it an en- joyable memory. Junior Danny Roberts stated, I thought we, the Juniors, did a real good job in making the prom some- thing different and spe- cial for everyone. Prom night was certainly Suit- ed to a T for Puttin' on the Ritz . Junior Danny Roberts decides that his Reeboks are much more comfortable than dress shoes as he sits in style waiting for the prom to begin The Juniors had worked hard on the prom and they made a break in the action for a group picture before going on to Put on the Ritz . 38 STUDENT LIFE The Senior class poses for one of their last pictures taken togeth- er before enjoying the prom giv- en in their honor by the Junior class.

The gymnasium which was packed with screaming, excited peo- ple soon became so qui- et that a person would be able to hear a pin drop. Senior Jeffrey Brummett, who made the an- nouncement, comment- ed. “It is exciting to have the crowd waiting for me to announce the win- ners. “No one knows who is going to win Homecoming queen. It is a surprise to everyone. They all seem so anxious to hear the results, stat- ed Senior L'Cena Weems. “MUM was also the word heard by many flo- rists just before Home- coming night. “Florist? someone might have asked. Yes — the mum was the traditional flower for all the girls to wear on Homecoming. The mum was not only a flower, but a sign that “Joe is seeing Betty. Yes — for those people who were in love at the time, they could have had streamers which stated who they were seeing. Girls who wore their mums showed that they had school spirit and were rooting for their team. Eighth grader Shel- ly Weems said, “I was shocked, and so was Ste- ven, that his mom bought me a mum. It was embar- rassing when everyone wanted to look at it, but it was also fun to show it off. The saying, “MUM'S the word , was shown to be very true on Home- coming night. “Being nominated for Home- coming queen was one of the highlights of the year for me. When I think about how many girls deserved the honor of be- ing a candidate, it makes me feel lucky to have been cho- sen. — Diane Lake 40 STUDENT LIFE “It was a real shock to me to be nominated. The basketball guys were thinking of me, and it was an honor. I was very excited. It was a very special night be- cause all the candidates seemed to be closer. We were all happy for each other. — Anissa Todd Homecoming Queen, Junior Me- lanie Davis, stands with roses in hand and crown on head so that everyone can take plenty of pictures. Melanie was very excited about winning as you can tell by the big grin on her face. “Of all the excitement your Sr. year brings, being nominated is a memory which will stand out in my mind. Knowing this was my last Homecoming made it even more special Being nominated made me fell really honored. — Michelle Smiley “Homecoming week, not only the night, was a blast. Everyone was really fired up and ready to party. Being a nominee made me feel more a part of the ex- citement.

Throughout the year there were many impor- tant school decisions, such as who Mr and Miss THS, TMS, or TES would be. The people's choice” was who was chosen to represent the school. It wasn't just an honor to be the Mr. or Miss THS. TMS, or TES. It was also an honor to be elected just as a candidate The Sen- ior candidates were Rod- ney Alexander and L'Cena Weems. The Ju- niors were Anissa Todd and Tony Brasher. The Sophomores were Diane Lake and Larry Anderson. And the Freshmen were Theresa Compton and Gilbert Lozano. For TMS. the candi- dates were Shelly Weems and Steve Durrett for the 8th grade. The 7th grade elected Carol Kuykendall and Jason Connelly as their candidates. All the nominees for Mr. and Miss TES were from the 6th grade. The candi- dates for Mr. TES were David Rule, Justin Hender- son, Brian Ball, Kevin Day, Richard Knight, and Mr. TES was Tim Hensley. The Miss TES candidates were Sherry Latimer, Teresa Hy- att, Stacy Stewart, Shan- eika Burns, Jennifer Kemp, and Miss TES was Ashley Ammerman. It was al- ways an honor to be the people's choice”.

Julie Penning EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO DRIVE IN THE CAR OF YOUR NIGHTMARES, YOU GOTTA START SOMEWHERE Sixteen. The number was like magic When a Sophomore or Freshman turned sixteen all of a sudden they could get anywhere with an old chevy, a quarter of a tank of gas, and a radio providing they had gone through 32 long, treach- erous hours of Drivers' Education and had gone to get their drivers' li- cense After they got that, they were ready to ride free. One thing stopped some of them though. They had gotten the li- cense, could easily get the gas, and had always had the radio, but what about the car? Even some of the kids who did have cars rode through town with a trench coat and shades on because they were embarrassed to be seen in what they were driving Sophomore Lana Glass- cock exclaimed, It was pretty sad tooling around town in my Mom's car when I would have killed to have zoomed through in a little red Porsche. Students under sixteen dreamed of getting to drive. But they had to set- tle for being chauffeured around by Mom or Dad. At school the matter even worsened by being forced to ride the school bus. On field trips or riding to conventions everyone crammed into the bus and sat for up to 4 hours with no radio or air condi- tioning. Learning to drive was just the beginning of a long list of responsibilities that came along with age But getting to drive with a license was a great “start . 44 STUDENT LIFE Beta sponsor Mrs Chaloupka. along with her husband and Mr Orozco, get ready to board the bus filled with noisy Beta club members They are on their way to Austin for the Beta conven- tion.

The brochures in Mrs. Chaloupka's room were hard to imagine. A chance to go to Florida and Cozumel, Mexico during spring break was something never thought of before. But with hard work and dedication, the Seniors made their trip come true by sponsoring dances, selling candy and dipping into their pockets. With 48 people riding the bus to Florida, the envisions of the fol- lowing week were the topic of discussion. Won- dering what kind of trou- ble we might get into kept all of us thinking, said Senior Angela Ma- ples. And Angela was right After all the hard work, the fun in Florida and Busch Gardens, the Sea Escape decided that was the time to catch on fire On the night the ship left Cozumel, Mexico, one of the two engines aboard cdught on fire and set it afloat for 3 days. With ap- proximately 450 people aboard, those 3 days were quite hectic in- deed Eating squares of cheese, apples and drink- ing hot Cokes was the pastime of the Seniors Not only did the Mexican Navy come and tow the ship in to Cancun, the press coverage was there in full force. After the initial fire, it was great to be such celebrities. I even had Dan Rather calling me! laughed Sen- ior Jerry Keeton. When everyone was home safe and sound, questions popped up like. Would you ever do it again? YES! said Sen- ior Kevin Parsons. If I had it all to do over again I think I still would, but I could leave out the fire. Senior Lori Smithson T w m f. p a. .

Nothing is more fun than the thrill of the hunt for Freshman Max Trusty. But what about everyone else? There are a lot of things to do outside of school besides hunting. With the sun shining and with water being the an- tedote of a hot. summer day, no one can resist to go to the lake for a day. Some people would just rather lounge around out- side of their own house and catch some rays . There is also lots to do in the winter time, but ev- eryone better make sure that they have their ther- mal underwear on to brave the cold. Junior Melanie Davis stated, I wore 'Hinds' running pants and a sweatshirt during the winter months and they kept me really warm. Even activities done in- side can be considered outside interests.

He fears that the bubble might eat him alive. Quit spankin' the bubbles!''- Justin Stapleton Jason Belvins and Kim Capps, both first-graders, laugh as bub- bles pop in their faces. It was a fun day for them as they watched and popped the bub- bles. First grader Bobbie Jene Medley jumps toward the huge, colorful bubble to pop it. Popping bub- bles satisfies children more than watching them. The Annual Staffers try desperately to stop the students.

She is trying hard not to pop it herself That may be hard for her to manage You Can Watch 'Em, You Can Chase 'Em, But DON'T BURST MY BUBBLE Ooh Bubbles! That was the first two words out of the mouths of kids, from Kindergarten and First grade, as Jayson West began to make bubbles. Do 'em over here! hollers First grader Bobbie Jene Medley. Jay- son got the excitement started off with just a few little bubbles. The big sur- prise was yet to come. Yes — BIGI Big bubbles began to appear in the air as anxious kids gath- ered around. There it comes! There it comes! There it comes! yells Ele- mentary aide, Peggy Todd as she started to make a huge bubble. Colorful bubbles began popping up everywhere — big and small. Kinder- gartener Jonathan Gon- zales says, They make rainbows inside it! Pop- ping was the magic word because that was what all the kids wanted to do. With every bubble that came out, there were always eager hands trying to touch them. Ev- ery time Miss Rounsaville began a huge bubble, a little finger would stick out and only soap suds could be seen. What they didn't realize is that once they touched them, they went away. I wanna see where it goes ... don't pop 'em, says First grad- er Darrin Roberts. After a long time of trying to get the kids to stop popping bubbles and TRYING TO MAKE BUBBLES, the Annual Staffers decided to take a new route. Some of the kids were too excited about popping the bub- bles. I pop 'em as soon as they get here! hollers First grader Matthew Brouer. Jayson led them off to another spot and began making small bub- bles for them to enjoy. It didn't take long before we ran out of film and the fun was over. BUBBLES 51 The pitiful look on Senior Michelle Smiley's face indicates how much she would love to have a bite of the fudge brownie which her buddy Sylvia Taylor is eating. Because of Michelle's allergy to chocolate however Sylvia gets to eat every bite. With a little help from his friends First grader Darrin Roberts can do almost anything. He reaches for the top with assistance from Kindergartener Melissa Marrack He uses her head as a step As First grader Matthew Brouer ties his shoe, he and his buddy Kindergartener Robby Robinson talk over important business. Elementary students have big problems too. 52 STUDENT LIFE When Push Comes To Shove, You Can Always Depend On The BUDDY SYSTEM Did Tonto ever let the Lone Ranger down? Could Fred stay mad at Barney throughout a whole episode of the Flintstones? NO! Why? Because they were true- blue buddies. Sunday westerns and afternoon cartoons have given a pretty good idea of friendship in real-life too. Standing by your friends in the rough times, (as Tonto struggled to do through each show) go- ing bowling together. (Fred and Barney's favor- ite hobby) or just bum- ming around each other's house, (what most friends usually do) are all parts of friendship. Even the rough times have been shared wilh friends as Juniors John Bodden and Tony Brasher found out this year they they were in a serious car wreck together. It was a heck of a ride! said John when asked about it. Even if it wasn't that dras- tic, everyone had their problems. Junior Jill Flolmes was always glad to have her friends to face the music with when she came in after curfew this year. Flaving them there helped soften the blow, was Jill's reply when asked about it. When used correctly, as shown above, the buddy system can be a real life saver. Give it another whirl’’, says Sixth graders Ashley Ammerman and buddy Shawna Bausell while they go round and round still try- ing to keep their hair from flying up into their faces Kicking back after a long, hard ddy at the FFA FHA fair. Fresh- man Max Trusty and Senior Derek Riley talk about the day's events. It's good to know you can always rely on your friends to goof around with. My favorite thing to do with my friends is to go riding around. Theresa Compton BUDDY SYSTEM 53 Guess, Used, Bugle Boy, Lee, Pick Any Brand, They Are All FADED AWAY Oh! I just love that out- fit! How can you afford all those new clothes? was heard in the halls ev- ery day. Many students found that spending money was a less than difficult task as they strolled through the shop- ping malls. New fashion designs became ordinary attire. Students began to dress more comfortably — and the baggier the better. Pants which could hold two people at the same time, and sweaters which were at least two sizes too large became the “thing to wear . A comfortable, old pair of jeans could be just right, especially if there were a few holes in them. With acid-wash clothes in style, the blue dye in jeans began to fade away . Suspenders, of course, were used to hold the baggie pants up. What was once a neces- sity for Grandpa had become a fashion state- ment. The old style Con- verse basketball shoe came in all colors and ev- eryone loved them. Junior Tony Brasher ex- claimed, “I'm glad the miniskirts are coming back in style. Junior Me- lanie Davis added, I like the way that guys are getting into fashion to- day. I love to see them in Guess jeans. Trying to keep up on the latest fads was a challenge attempted by many. It has been a diffi- cult task for years.

FADS 55 Doesn't It Always Seem That Things Have A Habit Of Getting BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION Who doesn't love getting some kind of present for thaf special occasion whether it be a birthday, Easter or an anniversary? Everyone does. The best thing and maybe most embarrassing thing about roses or balloons is when they are delivered at school. Isn't that blowing things up just a little bit? The Sophomore class did just that for Valentines' Day. Over 300 orders of red heart-shaped balloons caused some Sophomores to turn red in the face. Seeing fhe looks of fhe boys' and girls' faces when the balloons were passed out was worth all of the gasp- ing for air. Whether or not 1 rose, or 12 roses is sent for that special day, it does feel good to have someone blow it all out of proportion. Roses are my favorite things because they are my birth flower. - Lori Hensley Don't let go! exclaims Senior Sylvia Taylor as she accepts a huge bouquet of balloons at the annual pep rally.

TOO MUCH IS NOT ENOUGH Everyone expects winter to be cold, dreary, windy and every other miser- able condition for which winter is known. However, when winter came this year, it brought something not seen around here very often. It was snow, and lots of it! For days, class- room activities were halted as the snow began to occupy the free time. Going around town on the 3-wheeler with the sled was so much fun! says Senior Dean Withrow with a smile. Whether riding a sled through town or going out for some good old-fa- shioned snowball fights, everyone had a great time. Did it ever stop? Soon the great fun outdoors became the great bore in- doors. When teachers and students alike started asking the questions: When will it stop? or When can we go back to school?, Life had gotten pretty rough. Although the snow is really some- thing not particularly missed, if it were to happen again, too much would NOT be enough! Oh, no, not a picture! exclaims Senior L’Cena Weems as one of the Annual Staffers catches her in a heap from all of the snow fights that went on during a break In the snow. When Ag teacher Mr Kay asked Seniors Derek Riley, Brad Con- nelly and Scottie Copeland if they would like to spend some time out of class, shoveling snow from the walks was the farthest from their minds.

Just when it was getting to the good part!'', is what ran across Charice Brasher's mind when the commercial break came on during a cru- cial episode of her fa- vorite night time soap opera. Everyone has a show that it seems they have to see. Some people will go to great lengths just to see that show. They'll race home from school and pop the tape they recorded during the day into the VCR just to see what happened to Erica that day on “All My Children , or if Keith and Gina got in another fight on San- ta Barbara”. Some though just stroll in at 4:15, flip on the TV, and tune into a rerun of Gilligan's Island until their favorite prime time shows come on. Alot of people just don't find time to watch their favorite shows. I really like The Cosby Show but it always comes on while I'm doing some- thing else, said Fresh- man Ronnie Hart. TV is also a place for people to see their fa- vorite actors. Lisa Bonet of A Different World is so fine, said Freshman Gary Brown when asked about his favorite TV actress. Even if its not the place, that all kids find their kicks, TV's always something they do when sitting at home.

Well, obviously it did because here we all are with our caps and gowns on posing for the BIG DAY. Ev- eryone has gone around saying We finally made it! But did we? From one Senior to another, this year had to be the roughest of them all. There are so many re- sponsibilities that come with be- ing a Senior. Peer pressure, living up to other people's expecta- tions and the dreams of the fu- ture all play a major part in our lives. I can remember when our class entered high school - we had the symptoms of Senioritis when we were Freshmen and it's still there. If high school is any indication of life, we are all off to a wonderful start. We all went from class to class, not really paying attention to what people had to say about life after high school simply be- cause high school was our life. How will life be after high school? Will it be any different? Friends make up a whole lot of the memories that go along with high school. While each one of us has our own best friend in the whole wide world, overall, this class is the best friend anyone could have. Going out into the world without some of those friends can cause some anxiety. I'm sure each and every one of us has thought “How can we survive without each other? or “Will I al- ways have the same best friend? With all of the success that we have had in the past and the pre- sent, success is sure to come our way after graduation. Try to think of graduation as a stepping stone into bigger and better things, not an ending to the bet- ter things. Each one of us has to promise to do the best we know how, to use what we've taught each other and most importantly, to always maintain the close bond we have. Each one of us has grown up together, cried to- gether, laughed together, hated each other and loved each oth- er. The only thing that's wrong with that sentence is “loved each other. We still do. - Annual Staffer Michelle Smiley Sylvia Ann Taylor, Class Favorite Charlotte Turner Igwe L'Cena Lynn Weems Larry Dean Withrow Eddie Derr, Superintendent Gary Bohannon, Principal Linda Chaloupka, Sponsor John Orozco, Sponsor .

Michelle Smiley - Graduation will be both happy and sad Happy because we are finally out of school, going on to become adults, but sad because we are leaving people that we love and a place that we love.

They like school but would love to sleep in. Thursday 11-19-87 Sleeping in is one of the few pleasures that we seldom re- ceive. There has been many a time for everyone when rolling over, turning off the alarm clock and drifting back to sleep is the main goal of the day. Is that what happened to Sophomore Marian Bodden on November 19th? Yes, I slept until the soaps came on and then I got up. When trying to get out of the daily humdrum of school, getting a runny nose or the flu can result in some missed school days. Tuesday 12-1-87 Being sick is the worst excuse for having to stay home from school. But that's exactly what happened to Sophomore Mary Stufflebeme when she spent two weeks out of school because of tonsillitis. I ended up watching soaps. But I never missed school for a minute. How would you react in this situ- ation? One of your friends calls in the morning and says let's go to the movies. Well? Wednesday 1-12-88 The excitement of getting away with skipping school is a thrilling thought. I just say I didn't do my Government,' says Senior Dwain Burrows. Everyone has gone through the routine of either sleeping in, being sick or skipping school as an ex- cuse to catch some M.I.A. days! Can I please sleep in a little longer? Senior Michele Smiley asks.

Seventh grader Jason Connelly chose the alternative of flirting with the girls, such as Seventh grad- er Ginger Rule. This becomes a pastime for many Junior High boys. Seventh and Eighth graders assemble in the gymnasium for a meeting with the principal. This — meeting in the gym and having assemblies — is a practice which is a change from their regular schedule. Junior High ALTERNATIVES There are many times a day when someone could hear a High School student yelling. I wish those little kids would just get out of my way! They just run right over me when they go through the hallway. Having the Seventh grade in the High School was a practice which caused changes for many. The High School stu- dents had to learn how to get out of the hallway quickly, or simply start pushing the younger ones out of the way so that they could get to their lockers. The Junior High students now change classes each period instead of having one classroom to stay in all day. Seventh grader Alechia Anderson said, “It's harder, but a lot more fun being over here. I miss my younger friends, but en- joy being with my older friends. Pre-vocational class is a course which we, otherwise, would not have been able to take. Changing classes and trying to get along with the older students were just a couple of the changes, or “Alternatives which they had to face. Eighth graders. Jennifer Trusty.

Favorite Keri Wilbourn Nicole Winters, Favorite Fifth And Sixth Graders Aren't Stopped By ALL THOSE MISTAKES Everyday, little things are taken for granted. The air, the sun, the grass and erasers! Yes, erasers! How many times has someone been seen sitting in class chewing on an eraser, or trying to erase the note that someone special wrote on page 215 of the English book? Worse than that is when someone uses up the whole eras- er for a messed up problem in Al- gebra. Those little erasers, which are taken for granted, have really been there in those tight spots. Freshman Mikael Monor says that I'm always having to borrow someone else's eraser because mine is never there and wouldn't you know it, I had to borrow one during our six weeks test. Senior Michelle Smiley can agree to that because “she is always using mine, but I don't mind. To use an eraser, the mistake doesn't have to be a big one. A stray mark on the book, a wrong letter somewhere in a word, or an T that is supposed to really be a L are all reasonable grounds to turn that pencil around and start eras- ing Why are all of those mistakes made? Many times people either get in a hurry and don't realize what they are doing or it's just a plain mistake. Everyone has those once in a while. Trying not to make those little mistakes no one notices might just be a catastro- phe. Sitting in a desk thinking about how not to make a small mistake could cause those big mistakes to appear. The main thing about all those mistakes is that they're really not mistakes. They're just what is called a “Slip of the Pencil. Sophomore Marian Bodden and Senior Lynne Graves agreed that erasers are life saving. “It is just too bad that they don't have erasers to erase the problems of life. At the fifth and sixth grade level, the problems of life are less complicated - but just as earth shattering. Maybe others could learn from these students and not be stopped by “All Those Mis- takes.

Many people used these words as they noticed the mascot; Yes, for the first year, Trenton basketball teams had a mascot to help cheer them on. Of course, most parents kept their children occu- pied by using that phrase. The kids were very fascinated with the furry, striped, nearly six foot creature that ran across the court every few minutes, they seemed most interested in the tail which dragged along behind it. Yes — the children thought it was fun to play with the mascot's tail. They would yank, stomp, pull, and jerk on the tail, just to see what fun they could have while doing it. Eighth grader Amy Con- nelly, who served as mascot for the Junior High, stated, “I loved all the attention — except for when some little rotten kid would come up from behind and yank on my tail. The smaller kids, were usual- ly the ones to catch a tiger by the tail; although, many older stu- dents got in on the fun also. Be- cause of the “wear and tear put upon Prowler , the mascot suit had to be repaired a few times during the year. Sopho- more Lana Glasscock who was the High School mascot, com- mented, “I remember one time when Sylvia was jerking on the tail and it came off. She was so sur- prised when she noticed it was in her hand instead of on the suit.

Board member Donald Smithson agreed with Mr. Anderson in say- ing, The School Board member has to have the love of children first for their quality education.

We want to give the kids opportunities for good qualities and education. That is really what it is all about. This was not every member's opinions on the School Board, but at least now a person knows a little bit about the School Board.

A ball, (that was kind of obvious) a winning team, coaches, referees, (or umpires) fans, and cheerleaders (for bas- ketball) were just some of the essential ele- ments that made up a game. Some people thought that it only took the winning team to have a successful game. But what would have happened if there had been no one in the stands to cheer them on? Sophomore David Overstreet said, I really liked knowing that there was some- one out there who was cheering for me. The team might have still won without the fans, but it always helped to have people rooting you on. So as it could have been seen at any sports event, the bot- tom line was that ev- eryone helped to make the team win- ners.

Or was it a varsity player who was a very important part of the team? Either one of these could have been called big shots . When beginning in Junior High basketball all the guys dreamed of getting to play on the varsity team, Junior Mike Pierce said, “I thought it was cool when I got to suit out in the varsity. Playing on the varsity was an honor that someone had to work for and earn. Once they were on it they still had to go to all the practices and keep in shape on their own. An even bigger hon- or was when someone was picked to be a starter for the team. The starters for the 1987-88 varsity were Seniors Brad Connelly and Scottie Copeland, Juniors Chris Massey and Tony Brasher, and Freshman Ronnie Hart. The season was one where the hard work everyone put in paid off in the end. With a season record of 22-10 the Tigers were thought of as big shots all around the school.

Dedicated girls made it to practice each day in order to help their team strive to be the best. They worked hard and brought together the spirit before each game. Junior Delynda Todd commented, I think I like playing basketball be- cause it gets you more in- volved in your school and gets everyone excited.” Although they tried hard. they were not always successful. But after each game, the fans and coaches noticed how much improved the team had become. Each mem- ber learned the impor- tance of teamwork, de- termination, and last but not least, practice.

When someone said for exam- ple. Fley guys, there's a JV game tonight. the other person usually an- swered, “Oh, Junior Varsi- ty? No use in going to the gym so early. It is only JV. But these people missed out on a lot of ex- citement The parents; and fans who did go to junior varsity basketball games began to realize that the word Junior in front of Varsity did not make them all bad. The crowd noticed hard working players who hap- pened to be just a little bit shorter than varsity players, but who had the potential to make an out- standing team. Freshman Steve Smith said, I can't wait to be on Varsity. Sophomore Larry Ander- son stated. Being on the Junior Varsity has pro- vided me with the exper- ience of learning better how to play basketball so that I will be prepared for Varsify. A dedicated junior varsity team leads to a successful varsity team in the near future. These were just a few people who commented about the junior varsity team. Most agreed that having a JV team gave each person experience and prepared them for their future in basketball. The fans began to notice the boys' hard work pay- ing off.

Well, when it came to tennis, some students took the word RACKET as both noise and as part of the equipment used to play a game. For example, when tennis season rolled around, many people found that it was time to either dig through the closet to find their old racket, or go to a sporting goods store to buy a new one. This became serious business to them. Whether it was Wilson or “Penn , it was to be strong enough to with- stand many hard work- outs and matches. But what about the other aspect of the story? Which station the radio should be tuned to was also serious business to the players. This went to show that ALL THAT RACKET was a phrase taken literally by the tennis player. Senior Derek Riley and Sopho- more Larry Anderson stand by the fence waiting to get on the court for their next match They are geared up and ready to play Junior John Bodden runs to hit the ball so that he will have a better chance of winning the gome Practice is a big part of what helps John to Win 1st Place, 2nd Place, 3rd Place, OR ALL OF THE ABOVE Or All of the Above was the case for the ten- nis teams this year. At Dis- trict competition, the players really showed their stuff. First, second, and third place slots were all taken up by Trenton players. In boys' doubles competition. Senior Brad Connelly and Junior Tony Brasher teamed up to capture the first place medal. Senior Derek Riley and Sophomore Larry An- derson came in as the second place team. In the boys' singles compe- tition, Junior Brent Dancer won first place honors. The boys' teams were not the only ones who played outstandingly. The girls also did their share of winning Seniors Lesa Hamons and Amy Park competed in the girls' doubles competi- tion. Their tough playing resulted in winning the first place medal Juniors De- lynda Todd and Anissa Todd teamed up for a victory and the third place slot. The first and second place members had the opportunity to go on to the regional competition where they all did well. Junior Delynda Todd stated, We were all very excited to have done so well at District. First, second, third — in tennis it was All of the Above . TENNIS 93 Everyone Has Needs, Some Have The . . . NEED FOR SPEED I feel the need, the need for speed!-' Any- one who saw the mov- ie Top gun remem- bered this famous quote from Tom Cruise. But the need for speed could have been found somewhere else besides a movie. Every day of spring Junior High and High school students ran because of the need for speed. Yes, early spring brought students who were determined to knock off a second from their timings in track. A second to most didn't seem like much, but to someone who was trying to make regionals in the 800 meter such as Sophomore Jonathan Brummett it was a must. I took Gary Brown's place as an al- ternate, said Jona- than, so I worked hard on getting a better timing. Everyone's hard work helped to pay off in the end. The track team went to the dis- trict meet in Bonham with eleven people. Seniors Jeffrey Brum- mett, Brad Connelly; Juniors Tony Brasher, Melanie Davis, Shan- non Rule; and Sopho- mores Melanie Perales, Mary Stufflebeme, Marian Bodden, Larry Anderson, and Jona- than Brummett were the eleven. Of those eleven, nine went on to regionals. So in the end, the need for speed let some pull ahead of the rest and be a winner. Sophomore Marian Bodden takes the lead against one of her opponents from a rival school at the district meet in Bonham Sophomores Jonathan Brum- mett and Larry Anderson and Juniors Shannon Rule and Tony Brasher relax after a day at the races . PLAY THE FIELD Track and field were two words that always went together. Just like macaroni and cheese, black and white, or buttons and bows. Though the two words were paired together, people seemed to al- most always forget that there was such a thing as field events. There were always people ready to race around the track, but the field would usually sfand empty with only a few participants in the shot put, high jump and the other field events. Track coach Jarrett Tucker stated. “I think the reason that the field events aren't as popular is because they aren't usually as glamorous as the track events, that is to say that you don't get the glory of breaking through the ribbon and having the crowd go wild. Even though the field events weren't always the big crowd pleas- ers, the participants worked really hard. In the past years there have been more people entering in field events though. More students need to “play the field. 94 SPORTS ft Seventh graders Barbara Over- street. Alechia Anderson.

So what did it mean? It was slightly hard to think of what re- wards Junior High stu- dents should receive. Playing basketball games in itself was reward enough to them. For in- stance, learning about the basics and getting experience in basketball helped to prepare them for future years in basket- ball, such as moving up to Varsity team. But besides this reward, a few Junior High students could think of other reasons to play. “I play basketball be- cause it is a challenge and a lot of fun, said Eighth grader Sarah Stan- ick. Seventh grader Dar- rell Bullock added, “I love to play Junior High ball. I can't wait until I get in High School and play Var- sity ball.

But anyone could remember that they had a spectacular season. Both the girls and boys' teams worked hard and practiced almost as much as the Varsity teams. Coach John Orozco said. The girls and the boys had an excellent year We are looking forward to their moving up to help the Varsity teams. Al- though their games did not seem as important to some people, they were important to them. They worked very hard for their achievement and they improved a whole lot while doing it. Although they might have been small, their seasons weren't. Eighth grader Shawn Martin, number forty-three, goes up for a shot that should help out the team in winning a victory over the opponents.

JUNIOR HIGH 97 Just When You Think You Are In Line, You're OUT OF BOUNDS R-E. R-E-B. R-E-B-O-U- N-D REBOUND! TIGERS! — usually right in the mid- dle of this cheer, a guy wearing a black and white striped shirt walked up, tapped a cheer- leader on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, Could you please move behind the black line? This, most of the time, made the cheerleaders angry because after all, what else was a cheer- leader supposed to do but stand on the sidelines and holler? Sponsors were yelling because the cheerleaders weren't loud enough, and refer- ees were telling them to get out of the way. Senior Sylvia Taylor exclaimed, We have as much of a right to be out here as they do — maybe even more. Just when the girls thought they were in line, they were obviously “Out of Bounds . Cheerleading was not the only event in which this seemed true. This also applied to school. Re- member those times when a student would try to explain a hard math problem to another stu- dent to help out the teacher because she was busy — immediately the teacher would think that the two students were cheating. Suddenly, the students would explain that they were just trying to help out the teacher, as well as themselves, and that they weren't even thinking about cheating. That, of course was the excuse given to their parents when Mom had to pick the student up from alternative class- room. This just went to show that once someone thinks they're in line, they find out that they're Out of Bounds .

But if they put themselves in the girls' skirts they realized this was not always true. Cheerleading in- cluded more than just a yell — mounts and routines also came into the pic- ture. The cheer- leaders worked long hours after school on cheers. Freshman Priscella Lopez had a bad experience one day during practice — she fell off the top of a mount and broke her arm. It was scary when I broke my arm. I didn't really think that I would fall off. It kept me from cheering, she com- ments. This goes to show that cheer- leading is More Than Just A Yell!

Here's a riddle for you. What word makes up part of the word FANTASTIC — FAN. of course. And who makes a FAN? Well, there were parents with their video cameras rolling who were devoted to seeing their child play; students and friends who came to increase spirit; and that someone who came just for their love of the sport. Sports became not only part of the play- ers' lives, but also part of the fans' lives. Upon many fans' calendars under the words Tuesday and Friday , it read Basket- ball game, 7:00 . Mary Ann Anderson stated, We try not to miss ony of FAN- TASTIC the sports activities. We like all of the ballgames and the Tiger spirit shown by the students. I just tape the games so ev- eryone on the team can see it. It will also be good for them to look at and show their children later in life, said Norma Moore. Some fans were so dedi- cated that they drove long distances just to see a ballgame, and basket- ball games were not the only time. During baseball season, the fans also drove a long way just to sit in the hot sun and watch the game — but they liked it. Because of the dedicated fans. Tiger spirit could be called FANTASTIC ! Even the elementary fans are fantastic”. Here. Mrs. Lowry and some of her third grade stu- dents get into the fun while watching the pep rally.

Nearly every cheer- leader could re- member a time when they were frustrated because they couldn't get the fans to yell. Many of the fans would get into a heavy conversation with someone else, or simply just yell at the referees instead of for their team. Each had their own reason for missing out on a cheer. Sophomore Lana Glasscock said, I remember one game when we, the cheerleaders, held up signs that read 'YELL' in big letters so that we could get the fans to start yell- ing and get enthusi- astic. From then on, most fans were al- ways CHEER-FUL . Senior L'Cena Weems opens her mouth wide so that she can be heard.

It's Batter Up When The Umpire Says PLAY BALL was a phrase commonly heard from a deep voiced, tall man with chest guards and a baseball cap on. Around the time for base- ball season to begin, players and fans heard this often. When players heard this, they knew they had better get out of the dugout and up to bat. Although this sounds like the batters had to rush to get going, this was not always true during the Tigers' season. For ex- ample, at the last game of the season, which was held in Dodd City, players thought the umpire was never going to get there. The fans had to sit in the heat for an hour before 102 SPORTS Senior Dwoin Burrows stands in front of the Bland player to make sure that he doesn't at- tempt to run home while Junior Tony Brasher works to get the ball back to the pitcher PLAY BALL the umpire got there, but they were willing to wait to see their team play and to help cheer them on.

Lynne Graves, and Angie Maples, stand at the pep rally holding up a sign saying. Seniors '88 .

Fi- nally a Senior The end of the year is a happy time for them. Just a few moments before the beginning of the graduation ceremony, which marks the end of high school for Seniors. Shonna Gregory makes a last minute phone call for her bobby pins 134 CLOSING CLOSING Someone could easily tell that it is the end ot school by the look on Junior Jill Holmes' face as she cleans out her locker Jill s locker, her home away from home, will soon be vacant. END — the last part; con- clusion; the part where a thing begins or stops; final state. These were just a few definitions of The End . But each student had their own definition of the end of school. Freshman Max Trusty said that his definition of the end of school was, It's over! Junior Jill Holmes exclaimed FREE! when asked about the end. For Jill, the end of school sound- ed like it was the end of a jail sentence. Although this might have seemed funny to many, there were some who took school as a ball and chain strapped to their leg because they hated to get out of bed and suffer through another day. Although this made school sound really bad, many people had fun at the end of school. I like the end of school because you don't have to go to class. You can get out of class easily and roam the halls. These were the thoughts of Eighth grader Jennifer Trusty. On the last day of school, many people didn't have class, they simply watched movies or played games. And sometimes when school was out, a few students gathered in the parking lot to have a shav- ing cream fight. This was only part of what made the end of school fun. As the definition stated, the part where a thing begins or stops , the end of school was also the beginning of a vacation. All of these things were what made the end, THE END .
