From anonymous bomb threats to BJ. Myers' car on the football field and then disap- pearing, students experienced unusual phenomena that relieved everyday boredom, served as interesting conversa- tion material and often proved embarrassing. One time I was at choir practice and I got locked in a storage closet by some of the guys in choir. I was stuck in there for 15 minutes. Now that I look back on it, it was actually kind of funny, junior Vicki Fox said. Throughout the year, the school received an influx of new students originating from Austin High to Germany. To them everyday experiences turned out to be unusal, if not tedious. When I first came to this school, I wasn't used to having a locker and I couldn't open it, so I carried my books around to all my classes. I had a hard time finding my classes and I was always running around. In Spain, we stayed in one class- room and the teachers moved from class to class, senior Patricia Duarte said. Students also experienced strange happenings while partying on the weekends. Some friends of mine and I were partying at the 360 bridge when all of a sudden everyone got real quiet when a streak of green light raced across the sky and then faded away, junior Brian Buesing said. flitiffflsgigrif in-U ..

It gives me a chance to be alone and in control !!!Misti Marshall E-LETE While team sports such as football, baseball and basketball made the headlines, athletes also devoted themselves to sports involving less glory, but personal satisfaction, such as skiing, jogging and tennis. I like to exercise alone because I can pace for myself and not worry about anyone else, junior Scott Heare said. Running and jogging, popular with students, took preferences as it improved muscle tone and cardiovascular activity. I jog a little once in a while because I like to keep myself in shape and I like the feeling, freshman Shane Werner said. Sports such as horseback riding provided competitive shows where skilled sportsman could compete. Sophomores Misti Marshall and Becky Lamed won awards in several events in the county fairs.
