The Barbecue Capital of Texas.
Question: How much barbecue does it take to feed fourteen Honorables and one Roamin' Roary at Smitty's Barbecue in Lockhart?
Answer: Twelve sausages, two pounds of ribs, and three and a half pounds of sliced brisket.
And some had ice cream afterwards.
Who ate all that?
Who looked at picture of themselves looking at pictures of themselves? Who is doing it now? If it's you, be sure to take a picture.
Honorable hoodlums, blocking the sidewalks at Love's, harassing passersby with references to classical philosophers: roll call!
Honorable favorites: sea turtles (Sidney), the beach (Leah), presenting and representing (Dylan), night beach walk (Ashton), "Denny's!"/Standing up to the Waves/Scraping knees?(Nathan), meeting and interacting with other Great Plains Honors students (Dillon), building Tupac the Sand Turtle (Kaitlyn), Parrot Eyes (Madison), swimming in the ocean and collecting sea shells (Elsa), the Honors Beach Dance Party (Linzi).
