I also enjoyed math because that is my favorite subject. Freshman, Davin Davis said, There was nothing particular that I liked about Samuell. I liked the school and the atmosphere in general. I thought it was a great place to spend my days. The faculty also discussed what they liked and enjoyed at Samuell. Ms. McCollum said, I enjoyed teaching at Samuell. I liked the students and wanted to help each stu- dent reach his or her personal goal. I also enjoyed working with the students, teachers, parents, prin- cipals, and the community in the pro- duction of the yearbook. Another faculty member, Mr. Chenevert said, I enjoyed supporting school ac- tivities and academics because when I taught school in Detroit the teachers did not give the students enough sup- port. I also enjoy supporting the students at Samuell because I have never seen students as spirited as the Spartans. if Marina Alfaro finds being a freshman can be lonely at times.

THE v ' ff Being a senior of 1986 was difficult, as students faced many adversities, but it was also special. All seniors fac- ed some of the same problems. They did not get out a week before the underclassmen to enjoy a week of senior activities but instead took their finals the last day of school along with the underclassmen. Some seniors felt that their privileges were being taken away. In- etta Lott said, K'The worst thing about my senior year was that there were no activities for us. The location of graduation was also changed. Instead of the convention center or Moody Coliseum, it was held at Loos Fieldhouse. The seniors of 1986 overcame these obstacles by striving for success and working toward their individual goals. Sabrina Thompson said, My goal is to go to Texas A8rM University and major in businessf' Kenny Rogers ad- ded, My goal is to go to college and be a robotical engineer. Seniors made their own good time. Bryron Parker discussed what made his senior year the best. He said, The best thing about my senior year was that teachers were really trying to help us passf' Through happiness and sadness the senior class of 1986 knew what Spartan spirit was about. fgtyfi Anna Martinez poses for her senior por trait on retake day in room 127. 1 xjgtm,-f The senior class officers are treasurer Tammy McHone, --rf mae' secretary Molly Yandell, president Cherry Brown, and vicefpresident Kenny Rogers. 16 Seniors Freddie Martinez, Stacey Ridge, Robin Dean, Kathy Tulley, and Bill Gordon make plans for the up-coming senior activities.
