8 ITL 6 TL U, 7' www' a f V. By the time we were fifth graders we were bold enough to venture into the spook house at the Halloween Carnival and more confident about our lines on stage. We had dreams of being fire- men, cowboys, nurses and mamas. As we entered Arnett and Mossville Jr. High we were caught between two worlds. Junior High is the bridge between elementary and high school. It was a time when we were too young for most of the things we would have enjoyed doing and too old for the child-like fun and games. We were so eager to achieve freedom, although we werenlt willing to accept responsibility.

Remember the birthday parties and kiss chase? Recall the day when we were so excited because we had finally learned to spell and actually write out our names? Remember rushing home to tell Mom and Dad we could finally check out our first Library book? Special activities included Christmas plays and school Carnivals. We were eager to explore the carnival and to take a hay ride. We experienced nervous stomachs as we made our first appearance on stage. Top left: Mrs. Kelley reads as Dan Duncan looks with interest.

Senior High iii The Alma Mater brings response from a spirited group. Terry Hayes seems to be excited. Could she have made straight A's? Kathy McGee takes her first step into Westlake High. D'Juana Clary and Annette Nash chat over lunch. The moment arrived when we were ready for high school. As ninth graders, our experiences were much like first grade. Everything was huge, strange, and new to us. We were eager to be a part of the band marching on the field, football, basketball, track, cheerleading, Ramettes, homecoming, and all of the organizations which interested us and gave us the will to want to get involved. Now it's the Homecoming Dance and the Junior- Senior prom. They all hold a thrill, but not quite as exciting as our first dance back in Junior High. 3
