In the fall of 1975 we finally made our way into the main Nixon High School campus and we were delighted to be with the juniors (Class of 77) and seniors (Class of 1976). There was a different feel about being in the main campus since we were now a part of the high school scene. The excitement of the new school year was also enhanced since the country was celebrating its bicentennial celebration – 200 years (1776-1976). There was a patriotic feeling all over and it felt good to be an American. Gerald Ford was the nation’s President.
We attended our first pep-rally in the main campus and it was a terrific feeling. The football team was led by Seniors Robert Laurel, Richard Alvarado, Victor Astorga, Danny Gonzalez, Javier Granados, Abiel Gutierrez, Ernie Hale, Cory Holbrooks, and Jorge Lopez. The coaches were Reese, Trevino, and Boubel.
The Mustang Senior Cheerleaders (Class of ’76) were: Head Cheerleader Alma Buitron, Dee Dee Lozano, Cynthia Santos, Priscilla Keene, and Katie Pyle. The Junior Cheerleaders (Class of ’77) were Mari Bazan and Cindy Lozano and the Sophomore Cheerleaders (Class of ’78) were Marta Pena and Mary Margaret Melendez.
The Sophomore Class Officers were:
President – Bubba Jones, Vice President – Eddie Pina, Secretary – Maria Elena Galindo, Treasurer – Tita Longoria, Reporter – Rosa De Llano, Parliamentarian – Dora Chapa, Sergeant-at-Arms - Sarita Velasquez and Memo Martinez
Class of ’78 Favorites: Angie Zuniga and Mario Sanchez
