For some people that may be just fine, but other people like the traditional dating. "I think it's sorry because it's not a steady thing anymore. lt's just a one-time thing because guys nowadays think they re studs," stated Sophomore Cissy De La Garza. "Now it's worse because back then a guy would stay with a girl for a long time. He would take her to the drive-in or to the soda shop, or something romantic. Now guys just take us cruising for one night and we never ear from them again," said Senior Cathy Fernandez. Many people feel that way, but there are just as many people who admire the single's life and Lust want to spend time with t eir friends. "I love being with my friends. You can party and there's no boyfriend saying 'Do this, don't do that'," said Junior Cheryl Montalvo. Some people have a dif- ferent motive for staying single. "t's more fun with your friends, and if you're short of money, you can ask a friend," said Junior Michael Cantu. All in all, either way one chooses can be fun. lt would be nice to have the guys ask the girls out and take them to the drive-in and for a soda, but then again being with your friends is always a blast. iff .. if 'Y it W-,MU at f ,iv Lathx A f ff 't.,,,7Q?f ' Ja, ..

You come home, fix something to eat, then sit back and relax to the Jetsons or Tom and Jerry. So what if a little brother and sister wants to watch the Smurfs. You like car- toons too and usually get control of the remote control. Sunday morning is pro- bably the best time for comic strip lovers. When TUNES the newspaper arrives, you go crazy looking for the six page section of comics to find out what's up with Garfield and how things are going in Bloom County. Other people spend their time as a cartoon character in themselves, establishing their own identity in a way which everyone can ac-knowledge. Some enjoyecartooning as a hobby. Every Wednesday you can find a flock of comic book lovers at the nearest Circle-K waiting for the latest issues of X-Men and Fan- tastic Four to come out so they can add them to their collection. The more artistic students here at A. C. Jones spend their extra time creating their own comic book heroes, possibly dreaming of a job with D. .or Marvel. But cartoons don't end there. They've hit the fashion industry as well. They're everywhere- from Mickie Mouse T- shirts to Smurf sleeping bags and Snoopy pencils. o watch out little brothers and sisters, move on over.

In the last decade, physical fitness has been the going craze. Students at A.C. Jones are no exception. Many students today are try- ing to change themselves in order to catch that special person's eye. Or maybe, they just want to get in shape. There are some lazy peo- ple at A.C. Jones and those people don't bother with ex- ercising. They just eat nutritiouslyl and try to watch their weig t. And of course, there are some who are for- tunate and can eat everything in sight and not gain an ounce. Keeping in shape is something everyone wants to do, but only those who put their minds land eating habitsl to it, are the ones who show it. Drama students Ivette Reed and Shiela McClain get ready for a per- formance with stretches. Seniors Amy Bomersbach, John TI- jerina, and Stacy Dickey keep in shape so they can keep up their trips to Port-A. r -JA ii , Just finishing his neck exercising, James West tries to ease up while Paul Strike rests and Tony Rodriguez watches. XNHATTS 3 NEXT? High School: it's where you learn everything you'll need to know to make it in the world. Many friends will be gained and mang memories will be acquire , but before we realize it, the end of our high school days soon approaches. There's prom, graduation, and then college. Many students will leave Beeville, fly to their freedom, and at- tend out of state colleges. Others may stay in Texas, but go to a college 60 or 100 miles away. Another group of students will be attending Bee County College. "l'm going to South West, but l am attending my first semester here at ee Coun- ty, just to get the hang of col- lege life, then l'll transfer over to South West," said Senior Stephanie Reed. Some students may have won scholarships from the colleges of their choice while others applied for grants or loans. Yet even with plans made, many students are still left wondering, "What's Next?" f The college of his choice already in mind, Jeff Adams portrays which one he has selected. Patty Gonzales searches through pamphlets in the counselors office as she thinks about her plans for the future. Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Bates give Janet Garcia some advice on career day. Angela Broadnax takes her vows to enter the Airforce. Frank Cuevas gets information on financial aide as he decides which college to attend. Danny Adamez Martinez look forward to their college years.

Writing as quick as she can, Freshman Monica Barrigo tries to hurry and Hnish her test before the bell rings. - J D i fir .11-f1.. Drill team members Glorla Diaz and Myllssa Rouse hurry to get their props ready for the Annual Show rehearsal. Senior Shannon Janssen, Junior David Mumme, Sophomore Kenny Boyer, and Junior Russel Langbein hurry to get to class before the tardy bell rings. Mr. Mac gives out tardy slips, which mean detention for those who take their time while getting to class. Hurry Up. As a person gets older, he learns to be more responsi- ble, and being on time comes with all of that responsibility. Being late is something that everyone must face at one time or another, especially a teenager. Time limits pertain to prac- tically everything in a teenager's life. A student has a due date for his research paper, five mintues to get to class, a curfew on weekends, and maybe, if his parents let him use the car, ten minutes to run his errands. lt gets frustrating after a while. Parents and teachers are always nagging. The nagiging just sometimes ma es the teenager want to rebel and be late on purpose. But, deadlines just make the student realize how im- portant it is to hit them, and it makes them want to be more responsible. GIMME MY SPACE! "This is my house, and as long as you're living in it . . Students don't have very much that belongs to them. Everythincg it seems is owned and rule by their parents. The few private spaces they do have, they personalize, letting everyone know it's theirs. The bedroom is about the most personal space people have, most students find this is the only place to talk on the phone with their friends or to get away from obnox- ious little brothers. Just by walking into a students room you can usually figure out immediate- ly the type of person they are. But bedrooms aren't the only personalized space people live in. If you own a car, you know what it's like to be in a hurry, and most of leur books end up in the ack seat as you rush off to class. After awhile, paper, books, trash, clothes and many other things start to pile up in the back seat and in the trunk. Anne Treadwell ended up sharing the personal space of her vehicle with a guest, "I always knew a little mouse Seniors Tracey Liden and Stephanie Reed decorate their locker with pic- tures of their boyfriends and their best friends. lived in my Bronco, and one night when l was driving home barefoot, I turned on the light and the mouse was next to my foot." With most of your books in the car, this leaves your locker almost totally empty, except for the posters and other junk. For some people, their infatuation with Michael J. Fox or Samantha Fox may cause them to turn their lockers into shrines, with billions of posters, buttons, and bandanas of their favorite actor or singer. Some people like to wallpaper their lockers with pictures of their best friends, or even turn it into a jungle with stuffed animals hanging from the ceiling of the lockers. For others, their lockers are so piled up with papers, books, trash, and more trash, that it's impossi- ble to tell what's inside.

Every October, people from all over Bee County gather to participate in five un-filled days of carnival rides and cowboys, parading and pageantingi, and booths and boots t at together make Western Week. A pageant to select a Miss Western Week from 13 beautiful girls kicked off the festivities. Though the win- ner, Elvira Reyes, was from Pettus, the two runners-up, Lori Burke and Kelly Kervin were students from our school. On Saturday everyone woke up early to get a good seat for the parade. Those participating in the parade woke even earlier to get their floats ready on time or to get to the ban hall and into their uniforms. John Gaona recalled the equestrian portion of the parade most, "I love horses, I get to see so many from all over the place." But for others the fun in, Western Week takes place at After waking at dawn to dress and prepare, orange clad Bonnie D'Herde and Darla Dallas strut their stuff with the rest of the Trojan band. the Coliseum. Many flocked to see the trick rides and clowns that were featured at the rodeo. The colorful booths were also a popular stopping ground to taste food like chili and Cajun cooking, or to buy jewelry and knick-knacks. There were oodles of stomach churning rides for the brave. Dances were another event offered at the Col- iseum. The best of Country- Western bands were available for anyone with a yen for two-stepping. Natives of Beeville see Western Week as a chance to celebrate their heritage, like Virginia Ybanez who said, "lf you don't dress kicker it's one time to dress up." But for newcomers, it's a time to learn what it's like to be a Texan. Kathie Stone of Washington State found out, but could not unders- tand why the week started on a Wednesday and ended on a Sunday, and said-"Only in Texas!"

"I sure hope we win ... this is the big one!" Anxiety, excitement, joy, and maybe even frustration accompany one of the most thrilling times of the year . . . Homecoming. Much commo- tion typified the week, in- cluding two events that would prove to build the students spirits. After a night of scavenging wood for a bonfire, students began to see a bright light on the night of Wednesday, Oc- tober 15, which signified the student bodies' devotion to helping the Trojans "burn up" the Ftobstown Cottonpickers. Next, a lot of footstomping and ear piercing noise was made to push the Trojlans onto the field with not ing but victory in their hearts. But victory wasn't the only thing on students minds: Homecoming was also a big day for special dates. The couples were formed and plans were made as the boutineers and corsages were ordered and the dresses and suits were bought. Nothing could compare to the excitement of the Homecoming nominees, though, as they awaited the night when the Homecoming Queen would be crowned. Escorts and nominees practiced on the field the route they would have to walk for t e big night when they would be selected as princess, duchess or a Carlos DelaGarza walks proudly by Anne Treadwell's side as she is an- nounced this years 86-87 senior princess.

Huddled together on the sidelines with crossed fingers they held their breath as they were announced one-by- one, until Kathy Cantu was remaining, our 1987 Homecoming Queen! "l didn't think I would make it because of the com- petition. When they were calling out the Sr. Homecom- ing ourt, that's when I started to get real nervous. And when it was down to two of us and they called out Anne Treadwell as Senior Princess, I was happy and relieved that it was all over. l guess you could say that my high school years have been the best!" The field was then cleared as the fans cheered on the Trojans to a victory! Our var- sity players Ied the Cotton- pickers on a wild goose- chase as we scored touchdown after touchdown to finish off the night with a 46-0 finale. A crowd of happy students and elated football players then proceeded to the col- iseum where "Country Breeze" played for our Homecoming Dance. THE BIG PICTURES A NIGHT I'LL NEVER FORGET Tonight's the night! My en- tire day was spent finishing decorating the gym and mak- ing the sign that said "Welcome Kids of America to Kids in America" to welcomethe audience to the Yearbook entertainment. As I got to the school, I saw cars filling up the park- ing Iot. Everyone was arriv- ing to see the show. I finally managed to enter-even with all the pushing and shoving. As I sat down, the lights dimmed and a spotlight appeared on Junior Bridget Stauffer and Sophomore Mike Hoover. They told stories about teenagers of the present and of the past. It was great! The skits included our own foot- ball team members doing a rap called the "Trojan Explo- sion," our Key Club portray- ing the teenagers of the o d west, the Trojanettes perfor- ming to disco tunes of the 70's, and finally, the Student Council performing a skit where Victor Acepcion and Wesley Hensley get lost in the 50's. After the entertaining part of the show came all of the formalities. All of the beaus and sweethearts, senior favorites, and Who's Who were recognized. After that, I walked over next door to the glym to be entertained by t e "Sure Thing." The first thing I saw when I stepped in was a soda shop fthe snack barl, made by the cubbies and the newspaper staff. Walking further in were dif- ferent scenes from different time periods, also made by the cubbies. The first thing I did when I went in was to get in line to take pictures with my friends. Before I stepped on the dance floor, I had to take my shoes off. And there was no one to hold them! Anyway, after a little dancing, was kind of thirsty so I decided to go to the soda shop and get an old-fashioned bottle of Coke, but decided against it and got a chocolate shake instead. The night was a good one for me and all of my friends. I know it's a night that we won't forget. -Cheri Paishon .Y X , , In this skit, Sophomore Bernard Ben- net raps his stuff while Senior Rob Fullington dances in the background. is Ii Z MQW?

The gym was filled with wall-to-wall dancers as they listened to the "Sure Thing." Sophomores Klrk Towns, Glz Shelby, Kirk Dembo, Tony Roberts, and Jason Tindol just wanted to show what cavemen they are by standing in front of one of the scenes at the Annual dance. ln the 50's skit, Student Councilers Austin Brown and Cami Bremer act surprised when Kelli Bremer tells them they won the dance contest, while Kirby Warnke watches.

"Everyone loves concerts, but they have gotten stricter this past year. hey have too many security guards.

The way people wear their hair tells a lot about their personality. Shaving and coloring hair mostly pertains to the daring and out of the ordinary person. The conservative person usually wears his hair natural. The lazy person usually just gets a short haircut or a perm. And the creative person doesn't even have to cut his hair. Helshe just styles it a different way every day. So whatever way a person wears his hair, you may be able to figure out what type of person he is even i you don't know him. Q 1'01'0P I'I'0FF... TM Y cap, you think: "baseball player." Well, not just baseball players wear them. They are wom by a lot of students here at A. C. Jones. So next time you see someone with a baseball cap on, don't automatically '- think of that person as a baseball player. That person could be a football player, a coach, a teacher, a cheerleader, a lab scientist, an astronaut, or somebody with messed up hair. il Sophomore Orlando Gonzales shows that his cap is more comfor- f8bl6 when WOYD b3CkWal'dS. THE BIG PICTURES Who's Every year, a selected group of 10 to 12 students are nominated by the teachers, or are self-nominated for Who's Who. The honorees fill- ed out self-information sheets about themselves that contained their grades, academic activities, achievements, and why they thought they should be chosen for Who's Who. ,Agnew Victor Acepcion takes a nap on his Academic Decathlon notes at breakfast the morning of the competition.

But this year, an unex- pected change in the weather from a beautiful sunny week of school to a drab, dreary and rainy spring break vacation, shocke us. Despite the chilly weather, many determined beach goers stuck it out and managed to catch a peep at the sun. Jams, sand, and not quite enough sun were all aspects of Joseph Hammers, Chuck Parker, Wes Bryant, Barbara Quintanilla and John Womaks trip to Port A.

As students walked through the doors of the Bee Coliseum, the first thing that caught their eyes was the tunnel-like archway, with shiny silver stars. o the right was a dazzling scenario-a purple il- luminescent city, which was the background for individual pictures. The floor was covered with glitter, and in the middle of the dance floor was an archway that had big purple flowers covering it, and a huge silver star hanging from the center. The tables where students could sit and mingle each had bowls of party mix and popcorn, and the sophomore servers walked around in their pajama-like costumes and offered drinks to Juniors and Seniors. "I thought the decorations were very nice and the sophomores looked really cute in their pajamas. But l'm glad I went because it gave me a chance to be with friends I may never get to V see again," said Junior Kim Laskowski. Sophomores who wanted to attend the prom met many times to discuss ideas for their costumes. "We decided we'd wear the pajamas because it was supposed to be like we were ready for bed, and the teddy bears were to make it seem more realistic," said Sophomore Kirk Dembo. As students talked with friends, they began to realize that this was probably the only time they would ever see them dressed P up in fancy tuxedos and expensive dresses. Some even went so far as to rent limos. But even though the cost of the prom was high for some, the fun and exciting times of that night would never be forgotten. . Raymond Ashley and Amy Matteson were named '87 Prom King and Queen. Scharla Hill and Clayton Hickey head for the dance floor.

Before the ceremony, last mintue book fines were paid, amid cries of "Does anybody have extra bobby pins? My hat won't stay on!" In other areas, suggestions were made on the best ways to sneak in Wonder bubbles. Then, the final call came to get in line and "the walk" egan. lThe fatal walk proved that people do march to the beat of a different drummer.l The speeches harped on themes of hope for the future and sadness for the lost past, while claps of thunder roared in the background. Then the diplomas were handed out and the real fun began. Beach balls were blown up and graduates took advan- tage of their last chance to act totally childish. Shades were donned and several people were matted with orange silly string ,falling from the sky. Many seniors, upon receiving their diplomas, showed audible relief that they had made it. No matter that Amy Matteson received someone else's diploma, it was quickly remedied and what was left of the ceremonies went on prac- tically perfect. Nothing could be more gerfect than graduating. Mr. oyer may have been a bit perturbed with the pranks of his departing students, but the Class of 87's graduation night was a memorable one.

When we were kids, we always enjoyed playing "Cowboys and Indians' or playing with Mommy's make-up. Half the fun was dressing up and modeling for whoever wanted to watch. Now that we're older, we still like to play with clothes and we still like to show off. But now it's not all necessarily fun and games. There are many everyday things that require uniforms. When working at Burger King, one must wear those brown, disco lookindq pants. If in the drill team, a ancer is required to wear the orange and white satin uniform. And when participating in a play, the actor could be dressed 40 up in virtually anything. People also dress up for the fun of it. While bey- hunting, girls usually dress up extra special. On Hallo- ween, some crazy teenagers like to dress up like they did when they were youngsters. Dressing up is not the same as when we were kids. but it can be fun. We just have to use our imagination. Students showed their enthusiasm at the Halloween Dance by dressing up in their craziest attire. Sophomore Kirby Warnke, Senior Clinton Creech, and Senior Jeff Adams were three of the many who participated. Portraying Casey Jones, a traln engineer, is Sophomore Cami Bremer for an English II Honors folklore project. Many of these creatures attended the Halloween Dance.

FACULTY W FFLES SENIDRS A good sized crowd of die-hard basketball junkies were on hand for the annual clash between the senior squad and some faculty roundballers. After the facul- ty and the referees exchang- ed money, smiles, and sy handshakes, the game got underway. Coaches Beasley and Johnson along with the scorekeeper, helped the underdog faculty build a slight lead during the first half. However, the class of '87 wasn't worried. "We were just warming up!" exclaimed Amy "Amazon" Hirst, "besides, the fans are all on our side." ln the third quarter, the senior girls came out running and waffled the female facul- ty. After missing a slam dunk attempt, Miss "Slave Driver" Tiki Lamar explained why "the rim was just too high. ' Mrs. Gail "Grendel" Griffin was excited about perfecting her new style of defense. "You trip yourself running backward and make it look like an accident. It gives your team plenty of time to get down court and my fans love it" Steve Medina, Christian Finke, John Tijerina and Mark DeFlusse go all out to get into the spirit of the senior, faculty matchup. The senior cheerleaders came out from under their sacks as the game got tight in the homestretch. Coach "Lucky Goose" Luce was just that as he sank two crucial free throws in the waning seconds. The faculty pulled out with the win, ac- cording to the, ahem, scorekeeper. Even so, as Scharla "Killer" Hill put it, "I enjoyed playing against my coaches and teachers for once. I just wish Coach Luce wouldn t try to drink so much water at one time." Explained Troy "The Homeboy" Livesay, "I thought he looked thirsty."

Then, all of a sudden, someone in the back of the room jumps up and starts singing "Brass Monkey" while dancing to the rhythm. It is humorous moments like these that are spurred on by a class clown. There are several types of class clowns. They all have their own style and they all like to make their classmates laugh. There is a verbal class clown. Hefshe is the one who makes jokes every five minutes. He loves to make fun of the teachers. Like when the teacher got mad at her students because they didn't know how to do their work and one clown stands to say, "We could learn this stuff if you could teach it." Then there's a class clown ...Mfji WNKY VX? that's more visual. He likes to walk behind other students and mimic everything he does. And they love to make funny faces. The secret class clown is the person who writes "Our teacher is a nerd!" on the chalkboard, or he leaves fun- ny notes on people's desks without signing them. Lastly, there is the more matured class clown. This class clown is the teacher. He answers students' ques- tions with wisecrack answers. Like when the stu- dent asks if he could work the problem in his head and the teacher says, "Yah, sure. Just turn in your head." Whichever class clown one has, verbal, visual, secret, or mature, they all add a little excitement to what could otherwise be a boring class. Here is one of the more matured class clowns, Miss Lamar, making one of her famous funny faces. Most students have some form of transportation. Whether they are speeding in cars, moping on mopeds, popping wheeies on bikes, flipping on skateboards, or strutting on the sidewalks, they all reach their destina- tion. But what influences students to choose the "right set of wheeIs" that will suit their personality? Well that depends on what their personality is like. For example, some students are mechanically inclined and enjoy fixing up old cars. By giving it a new paint job Senior Mark Macky and Junior Brian Spires stand proudly before their '67 Mustangs. Fun ith ee s and putting lots of extras on it, they hope that everyone will notice it and the person driving it. "I've always loved antique cars, and Mustangs seem to fit A with high school kids," sage Junior Brian Spires. thers may just go buy a car that doesn't necessarily fit their personality, but it does fit their for their parentsl budget. As a result, it's not rare to see teens driv- ing old clunkers. BUY 'lh6I'9 8I'6 H1056 StUd6l'ltS WhO have wheels for. recreation. Some just cruise, freestyle "on the ramps", and 'catch air" on their boards, or race around on their ten-speeds. Since the time wheels were invented, teens have always dreamed of having a set of their own. But the kind one gets is up to his in- dividual personality and how much his parents are willing to dish out. Junior Troy Turner shows hls flex- ibility and style as he practices for future freestyle competitions. Defeating the law of gravity, Sophomore' Frank Guerrero demonstrates his "sense of balance." Senior Brett Dunn splashes through the mud on his "monster" four wheeler. Junior Henry Martinez cruises on his motorcycle. Freshman Mary Yzaguirre receives Communion while celebrating her Quincenera.

By the way, are you going to Deb- bie s party next week? I heard her parents rented the country club!" "Yea, I'm going. I hear it will be the best party of the year." I ON THE RCJAD AGAIN Most people enjoy going on trips, whether it's with the school, their friends, church, or just by themselves. But where do they go? This year, one of the main at- tractions it seems, was ski- ing. Mylissa Rouse and some friends lalong with parentsl went to Cuchara, Colorado for Spring Break. "The snow was great, but we nearly got snowed in." Many others went to the beach at Port Aransas and took advantage of what little rays they could catch from between the clouds. "lt was cold, but I still had a lot of fun," said Shannon Tindol. Others visited relatives that they haven't seen since the "diaper" age, while others might have visited friends in other cities. Many trips took place as part of school activities. Tracy Jenkins, Susan Weston, Carrie McMahon and Kelli Bremer were among many students in Mr. Belew's Biology II class, who took a trip to Corpus Christi to collect marine specimens on Goose Island. Organizations such as Key Club, Student Council, Band, DECA, and many others, went on short weekend trips to participate in competitions or listen to speakers. Some trips were for fun, as well as for educational purposes. Yet sometimes the nicest part of the trip is going to the place who's very name and sound denotes comfort and relaxation home. After much packing and prepara- tions, Michelle Marfinez and Sheila Anderson board a bus headed for summer Drill Team camp. 76 These three amigos, Judd Stane, Mike Gonzales, and Ruben Cantu clown around while shopping during their DECA trip to Flagnosa, Mexico. Consuelo Benavidez, happy from a good day at a track meet in Calallen, seems glad to be returning home. After a good nights rest, Kim Acklie, Doug Halcomb, Rene Perez and James Santellana prepare to return to the State Thespian Convention. 51 Looking for summer clothes, Senior Manuel Leal examines a pair of shorts. " . . . But somebody's gotta do it." "Born to shop", "Shop til you drop", "Shopaholic" . . . may have been terms once associated only with girls. Yet today, everyone loves to do it-even guys. Sure, girls love to take their fathers' credit cards and splurge on every piece of clothing that fits, but guys like to shop too. lt doesn't have to necessarily be clothes that they're shopping for. "I go shopping with my boyfriend, Albert, in Corpus, but he likes to shop for truck parts," said Freshman Biddy Martinez. There are a few guys who like to shop for themselves. They can go out and buy a pair of jeans or even a pre- sent for their girlfriend. Some go even as ar as go- ing grocery shopping for their mothers. Most of the time it's reversed-mothers shop for their sons. "The way a person dresses shows his per- sonality, but I don't shop for my cothes-my mother does," said Senior Mark DeFlusse. It isn't another one of those silly things that just girls do, because now the guys are doing it too. H t.,. .... fi .J 3 .... - fi: 1, .. . l S I 'X -1 ...Q 11,354 FEV . . w ,Ji .,.. I , w .

ST AGE Are you one of those peo- ple who just can't get up in front of the class to present your oral book report, much ess on stage to say your dialogue? Don't worry, you are not alone. There are a lot of stage-frightened people out there. They may not show it, but they are. There are also those who can stare into all those pairs of eyes and act their way through any play or report. Underneath, they must be scared stiff, but their cool, calm, and collective acting makes us think totally opposite. I Junior Betsy Shaar, playing the leading role in Cinderella, accom- panies Sophomore Doug Holcomb on stage, who plays Harold fthe rabbitj. Mrs. Yvonne Curbo has gotten over her stage fright of being in front of the classroom because she has had 33 years of teaching experience. FRIGHT "Acting isn't as easy as we actors make it seem. ttakes total concentration and a good memory," said Junior Betsy Shaar, who played Cinderella. That doesn't mean that everyone has stage fright. lt just means that many of them should be professional actors. They can fake their wg out of any terror attack. o when there's a student speaking in front of a group of peope looking like there is no doubt in his mind about what he is doing, remember: actors are people too.

WORKING HANDS Welding may not be as im- portant as English, or Math, but to some students it's just as important. "l think everybody should take welding. lt's benfitting," said Mark Cano. When one gets up in the morning and turns on the water faucet, one is using a welded plumbing system. The refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher are all welded fabrications. The bus or automobile that brings students and faculty to school are welded fabrica- tions. Overall, welding may not seem important, but it is to these students and also to the world. Billy DeLeon, Gabriel Barrera and Jose Salazar use the center table for welding and sanding parts.

At the beginning of the year, students start out drawing wheels and hangers, which keeps students entertained. "lt keeps you busy most of the time, and it helps me much more than I thought it would," said Charlie Chacon, who thinks of becoming an architect. Later on during the year, the students start making plans for houses. To make it even more interesting, they imagine and draw their dream house.

In order to focus on our own country's history, there is American History. From George 'Washington's in- auguration to Kennedy's assasination in. 1963 to the Iran Scandal. .

At the beginning, their ma- jor task was to learn the do's and don'ts of writing the straight news story. This proved to some to be a rather difficult task because as they learned: news reports, editorials, and the like have a "style" all their own. Yet, as Cubbie Stephanie Carter said, "lt helped me in my writing, like in English. It also helped me to be more creative. I was real happy to see something I wrote go in the newspaper." But writing wasn't the only focus in journalism. Layout, design, photography, and yearbook layout were all studied as well. Advisor Tiki Lamar also placed a big em- phasis on how the media has helped to shape the history of the U.S. and the world. These students may or may not grow up to be a Steve Jennings or Barbara Walters, but they will have learned the importance of the newspaper, the value of the media, and the awesome responsibility that those peo- ple have who are a part of them.

The main pur- pose for this class is to be able to learn and experience the different techniques of acting. From performing their own soap operas to creative skits, these students get to know the feeling of working together with their classmates. At the beginning of the year, some of the students thought it was a bit of a challenge to go in front of the class and act. "At first l felt scared to act in front of the class, but after a while l got to know everyone pretty well. Now l'm not as scared," said Priscilla Montez.

Kim Laskoskle. The books and chalkboard are invaded by x, y's, and z's. No these aren't the alphabet. They are called variables. These variables work in formulas. They are sometimes reduced and have to leave, while at other times they are divided and multiplied by powering numbers. There seems to be no end to the many formulas which keep coming into algebra student's lessons. Algebra I students are in- troduced to the variables, and learn their functions. Algebra ll students start put- ting these variables into for- mulas and equations, and figure out the answer. The work is what bothers most of these students. An Algebra II student said, "When first took Algebra ll, L sg' I knew we had to work with numbers and letters, but never with our emotions, such as checking our answers and being frustrated when they dont check out."

But when I joined up with Rouse's class, he made it somewhat interesting, tell- ing chemistry related stories unlike other teachers, and to my utter dismay I lightened up and trie to learn something," said Keith Dalbosco. Chemistry makes an im- pact not only on these students education, but also on everyday life. lt intensifies and makes living interesting and more comp ex, as does the use of any kind of language.

Jones Physical Education Uniform. If they do not dress out, it is expected that they stay in fif- teen minutes out of their own lunch period. If the students continue not to cooperate, the time rises. The students also take tests on the rules, history, and the correct way to play a sport before they can actually participate in a game. This year they have played softball, kickball, basketball, bowling, and soc- cer. Throughout the year, the students must take the physical fitness test twice.

COMPUTER MATH COMPUTING THE FUTURE The world has become a world of computers. Com- puters are everywhere, whir- rling and whizzllng their elec- tronic way into homes, school, and hospitals. This new technology is used from unscrambling genetic codes to tracking down criminals. Tracy Jenkins concentrates while taking notes on Computer programming. The uses are limitless. Who knows? It is grobable that by the gear 2 00, computers will e used to scan the bodies of ill patients and recommend treatment.

To have a more in depth understanding of these areas of life, many students take Home and Family Living. Teenage pregnancy, mar- riage, and birth control are all studied. Students also ex- perience the responsibility of caring for children. The highlight of the year was when these students had to carry around an egg for a week and take care o it as if it was their own child. Most of the students thought it was a good way to ex- perience parenthood. "lt was a good idea to carry an egg around because it taught me responsibility in taking care of another per- son. lt was the most fun part of the class," said Dina Topewith.

GOVERNMENTIECONOMICS Selling Pizza's and Holding Elections Teach The Ways of Society Economics is the study of how a nations businesses, government, and people use its resources to produce the goods that people want and need. According to teacher Ruth Ashmore "t is very im- portant for students to take economics because it gives them a better understanding of current economic pro- blems while helping them gain some of the skills need- ed to be eftective con- sumers, workers, and citizens." In order to experience these skills, students set up cooperations and put into practice the theories of the mix market economy. Com- pany's that sold flowers, snowcones, pizza, balloons and Hershey's kisses were in business on the patio dur- ing lunch hours, and the pro- fits were shared among the students. This reveals to them the importance of in- vesting inthe country. Government is also impor- tant for students to take so that the freedom that U.S. citizens have can be ap- preciated. "For a democracy to succeed, its people must participate and be informed. They can't depend on others-they must take in- dividual civic responsibility," said Government teacher Kay Ford. Government students take on this responsibility when doing projects suc as having elec- tions, and a voter registra- tion drive. Guest speakers like Robert Early also con- tribute to informing students about the government and its processes. Mmm . . .

John Tijerina and Stewart Adair help themselves to a second serving at the annual Spanish Fiesta. CULTURES Spanish cultures and words are everywhere. In order to keep up with them, and to satisfy the requirements for entering college, students are tak- ing panish classes. But learning Spanish is not only necessary to get into col ege, it is important for anybody who wants to communicate with Spanish speaking peo- ple-an important quest for far South Beevilities. "Students who know English and learn Spanish will be able to function in two languages. Bil- ingualism is great," said Spanish teacher Gilberto Castillo. This idea is also shared by Mrs. Velma Reason, and Mr. Joe Henry Perez who said, "I feel that for every language you gain another soul." Teachers go about teaching Spanish in dif- ferent methods in order to make learning Spanish fun and interesting. The basic pattern is listening, repeating, saying, reading, an writing. Once a year students learn about the culture through a fiesta featuring Spanish food an filmstrips. All of these contribute to learning the Spanish language and Spanish heritage. So after a year of strug- gling with conjugating verbs, writing stones in Spanish, and taking vocabulary tests, these students can greet their South-of-the-Border friends with phrases other than "No hablo Espanol." . ., ASA, lr' I X!

English, the international language. It can be found in airports as the second or first language on all five continents. Infact, more peo- ple are Ieaming English as a necessity for survival. Europeans, Africans and Asians alike. Yet, even though non-nationals are learning with fervent energy the American language, English teachers still have the challenge of catching their students with that same fire. And since routine weekly assignments tend to get boring, teachers make the class more ex- citing by assigning projects and demonstrations. "I truly love literature and writing. I am enthusiastic about my teaching field. When I can make my students feel enthusiastic also, that makes me happy. I enjoy making the sub- ject come aIive," said Mrs. Gracie Soliz. Eleventh grade honors students went through the 20's during their reading on The Great Gatsby. Then they had demonstrations to show what they had learned. The sophomores acted out folklore characters and presented biographies of them to their classmates. As we all strive to achieve the goal of mastering English, it helps to have an interest in what we study and teachers have made this possible.

No longer can they be ed the stupid frosh, geeky homore, or wimpy junior. With higher peers to criticize, iors yield absolute rule over all erclassmen. And with the in- endence of their soon to be duates looming over the der, parents find themselves ing up on some of the rules. eniors get to stay out later with r friends and go out of town e often. Seniors also tend to away with a lot that others 't in school. By the time that year rolls around, most iors have endeared selves to teachers and ad- ministration alikel Counselors are more apt to let seniors change their schedules than freshmen. Seniors also seem to get out of class a lot more than underclassmen. With all the preparations for graduation, there's constantly some special assembly to attend. In addition to these advantages, seniors seem to have more material posessions. The locker and bathroom facilities are far bet- ter for seniors than for any other class. Many have jobs with which to buy cool clothes and jamming stereos. Some even get their first car their senior year while others get even better, or sometimes brand new cars. With all these fringe benefits, it's no wonder that the prospect of being a senior is held with such high regard.

"Trying to get things over on some teachers around here is like climbing through the Swiss Alps with no water," said David Dollasse. Roaming the halls has become an everyday occurence for these trouble seeking people. Everyone knows that not a single freshman has an off period. Our trusty security guard known as "Deputy Dog" said, "I think I tell Freshmen to ET OUT! more than any other class in this school." There are times where a fish may get in trouble and not even deserve it. But these rookies just have to learn to take the hard knocks that sometimes come with high school life.

As classroom doors simultaneously begin to shut, movement accelerates through the corridors. Converses can be heard pattering across the floors and some, despite being a little winded, make it. Others caught outside the door when the bell rings must reluctantly walk all the way back to the attendance of- fice, as they try to come up with a brilliant excuse. Once there, it's time to face the head honchos, the big cheeses-the "Pink Panther" and the "Big Bad Wulf", other- wise known as Everett McAulay and Roger Wulf. These men with Secretary Nina Johnson aids in nabbing skipping students. the aid of Sandy Gregorcyzk and Nina Johnson form a sort of secret service whose mission is to track down tardy and truant juveniles.

On the first day, the an- nouncements said that some stu- dent council members were carry- ing cans with teacher's names on them. Mariana had Mr. Don Zidlicky's can and went from class to class to ask students to empty their pockets into the can. But Mr. Zidlicky wasn't the only contes- tantg he was challenged bg Mr. Darryl Beasley, Miss atti mith, Mrs. Ellie Crabbe, and Mr. Roger Wulf. On the last day, everyone emp- tied their pockets into the cans. Then during the pep rally, all five teachers came fonlvard and the winner was announced. Mr. Wulf had won. He received a medal, a bag of porkskins, and then got to kiss the little piggy. Mrs. Crabbe said, "I am disap- pointed that I lost the Kiss-A-Pig contest. I appreciate all the students who supported me and hope that next year I will win. Kiss-Kiss-Smack-Smack. Pucker up you little piggies." ps- Gary Epps- HeaIthlP.E.

The record of the varsi- ty football team is by no means an example of the talent that was portrayed on the team. "I had a feel- ing we could have gone somewhere," explained Senior Eddie DelBosque. He added "Certain people wanted it, you could tell who wanted it and who didn't." Even though the Tro- j?ns ended with a stable -3 record, some players still felt they fell short of their goal. Winning big and making the playoffs are two big traditions at A. C. Jones. A certain player who said he wanted to re- main anonymous said, "You had about seven or eight g1uys playing from their earts, everyone else was out to lunch .. . we didn't set our goals high enough." Whenever any team has a season like that ex- perienced by the Trojans, all errors can be linked back to the core-practice. Players like Jar Briones an Nieves Bote Io felt that certain people were quit- ting early and not trying hard enough. Senior Robert Trevino said, "lf we could go back we would change our last game because we had a shot for the playoffs." The Trojans lost their last game to Calallen by the score of 39-22. Even though the Tro- jans didn't make the playoffs and, as Junior Abel Herrera explained, "It could have been better," they did come out with a winning season, a feat that a lot of teams couIdn't claim. V 1 f? A WINNING TRADITION CONTINUES A certain chill traveled through the air as the stands filled with fans to watch what they believed would be another vic- torious game. The J.V. ran out on the field fired up and ready for a rough- tougjh game. " ne game at a time, that's the way we had to play it," said Junior Guard Lawrence Carranco. This years team finish- ed with a 8-1 record, only losing to the Calallen Wildcats 12-34 on the last game of the season. ophomore Quarterback Travis Tindol commented, "The offense did very well. The line was great Sophomore Paul Strike and manager Terry Hernandez try to help and came through when they were needed. As for the defense, they did a great job." With a 30-2 three pear record, the J.V. has eld the greatest winning recor of anyTrojan team. "We owe it all to our coaches, without those three we could never of gfotten this far," said Eric cSwain, junior, defen- sive end. Junior Daniel An- drade added, "They knew how to bring out the plger in you." oach Mark Johnson said, "We worked them until we got what we wanted nut of them." down and the playe boarded the bus, Troj pride was seen on ma faces because for t third year in a row, a T jan football team came on top.

"l enjoyed it. lt was fun and a lot different from the youth footbalI," said Flo and Salazar, freshman. The freshman season ended with a 5-1-1 district record. Coach Tony Heredia said "This year's teams showed great determina- tion and were willing to do their best out on the field." The freshman squad was also coached by Mike Luce, and Randy Maupin. 145 FIGHTING THE CLUTCH For an outsider to look at the varsity girls record for the season, they might be inclined to think that it was a tough season for the ladies. However, the 4-6 record fails to tell the whole story. The varsity played with every team, but their big- gest obstacle seemed to be the clutch. "Many games were lost by only two points," said Assistant Coach Patti Boerner. By the end of the season, the girls had given up the win in almost every pressure situation. The team was also marked by what the coaches ca led a lack of strong basic skills, all due to the fact that they had no jr. high playing to develop their skills. At the varsity level, the Trojan's op- ponents had worked on their basics for four to six yearsg the Trojans had on- y two to four years. So despite their record, a baffled assistant coach still stated, "They're win- ners, I still haven t figured out why they couldnt win in the clutch." Junior Leslie Laechelln the ball back to her fellow mates, Michelle Barrls Scharla Hill. Ready and waiting, prepare for an oncoming Stepping high.

We worked extra ard to perform for our teams," said Varsity Cheerleader Asennet Gonzales. Cheerleaders everywhere are those in- dividuals expected to ex- cite and fire up a crowd. Yet Asennet felt that the student body needed to give more support in school spirit, "We are cheerleaders to lead cheers not to be the only ones cheering." The cheerleaders at- tended competition in San Antonio, at the San An- tonio College where they placed first in the 4A divi- sion and also ac- cumulated eight superior awards and one excellent The freshman, J.V., and varsity squads join forces to keep the spirit going at a pep rally.

Kath! said that this year "HB7 had a great effect on cheerleaders, especialllyl since we invest so muc money into it. If you have trouble in classes you lose everything. But if you want to be a cheerleader bad enough you'll try twice as hard to eep your grades up. But grades aren't the only things needed to be a cheerleader, dedication and wanting to lift the spirits of the student body and fans, those are the main qualifications of a cheerleader. Asennet Gonzales, Gracie Gonzales, Kathy Cantu, Allison Martinez, and Anne Treadwell fire up the crowd at the Western Week parade. Junior Gracie Gonzales takes a break for upcoming football games.

Those lights you mig t see are the Freshman and J.V. cheerleading teams brightening the spirits of Trojan fans, and apparently those fans are quite pleased. But cheerleading is fjust as enjoyable or participants as it is for the spectators. "I really am having fun being a freshman cheerleader," said Shannon Finke. When asked what was fun about cheering, freshman Grey Lyn Prowse said "You get to meet more people, compete in competitions, and eat free food." Competitions went well I for both squads. Together with the varsity' girls they won a first at t e Kerrville contest. ln separate divisions at camp the J.V.

Dancing ducks, black and yellow birds, and disco dances of the 70's were a few examples. Colonel Naomi Disenso said "We need stuff like this to get the crowd interested in us. It was our Disco Duck routine that won us first place at competition." The Trojanettes took their talent on the road which led them to South West Texas where they came back with one Sweepstakes award by receiving a number one rating on three routines. They also walked away with a first place for their novelty routine. For a second year in a row HB72 put a dent in the ranks of the Trojanettes. The no-pass, no-play rule for the Drill Team meant No-Pass, No-Dance. They lost about a fourth of their talented dancers.

Junior Cory Brooke confirmed -this by saying, "This year the team played like a team, Eve felt like a family. verybody worked together to try to make the team better. We tried hard to make the best of our season." The attitude of a team almost always reflects the coaching. Senior John Ti- ierina said this about Coach Mike Luce: "With an excellent coach by your side it's-hard not to ave a winning season. We learned a great deal from him on and off the court." And a winning season they did have. The Trojans finished with a 1 -11 record overall and were side by side with the leaders of the district to the end. Unfortunately the season for the Trojan team who never gave up, ended with the last game on the schedule against the tough Calallen Wildcats. 'It was a big disappointment to us because we worked so hard throughout the season and we ended with a loss and jwithoutj a chance to go to the pIa7y- offs," sai TUerina. i- jerina also said that "Tears and fits of frustra- tion occurred in the locker room, as always after a major game." ven though the Tro- jans ended the season earlier than hoped, they were a major force in district 15-4A. The high school basketball jinx in Beeville is diminishing rapidly thanks to the '86- '87 season that the Tro- jans had.

The freshman girls ended with a 4-8 record and the JV held a 7-12 record. After the teams were combined, the girls won two and lost two. Coach Patti Boerner said that she felt the team could have done a lot bet- ter than they did, all they needed was a little more team effort. She added that she expects 1100A out of each player. Alisha Holland puts one up in a close game on her court. Coach Daryl Beasley said he felt the team got a lot better as they were combined. "I think both teams egos went up with the two teams together winning is a team effort." Both coaches felt that every pIaEyer was treated equal. " veryone works hard in practice, so when it comes to games everyone has an equal amount of playing time. All we ask of the team is to work hard on defense and make their defense their offense," Beasley said. ,D-"'L""' , Y f , Diana Krawietz, so sweet but painful, finally makes it to the finish line. f, fr if i A i 2 i N ima 1 2 Lupe Vidaure and Gary Garcia are kicking back before the big race.

CROSS COUNTRY GOES THE EXTRA MILE Over the hills and through the woods, along the beachside, and across tall grass go the cross country runners. During the season runners found themselves traipsing over various terrains, trying to get from start to finish. Many runners gave their opponents a good deal of competition as they hit the finish line. Runners such as Diana Krawietz, who was award- ed a plaque for outstan- ding cross country runner, an Lupe Vidaure who ran varsity. There was also always hope for Mike Frontz and Charles Staf- ford to pick up the pace and move to the front of the race. With coaching abilities and know how, Coach Darryl Beasley gave each and every one of his runners a good pep talk before each race. would ride his bike along side of his runners as they trained.

Jerry Willingham said, "l am an alternate. Sometimes l might run J.V. and sometimes I might even run varsity, but whatever I run I feel good about myself." Feeling good about what you're doing is important to these people. The cross country team overcame the disability of inex- perience with an age old solution, the three d's: Desire, Dedication, and Determination.

Stil the Trojans didn't do as well as expected. They came in last place. Sop omore Gary Garcia said that a major reason for this was injuries.

Senior Steve Medina said, "We did alright teamwise. The team effort was there. I'd say it was an average season for us." There were many occasions when the Trojans had to come back to win. Eventually toward the end of the season there were improvements. Ac- cording to Medina and Robert Trevino, pitching and fielding were upgraded. The reason why the Trojans finished sixth was because there was a three-way tie for third and because of being a couple of games behind they end- ed up in sixth. 174 The Trojans do their famous spell-out before taking it to the field.

Baseball team rarely had time to be bored. Through all the laughter, the teams goal was mainly to win, yet ac- cording to Frank Perez 176 their reason for defeat, when it came was because of being a little too sure of themselves. "I thought we did pretty good, but we made a lot of mistakes because we were a little over- confident," said Perez. Even though the guys had an average season with an 8-7 record they were able to keep from getting down. "We'd be pretty down right after the game but we usually got right back up again,' said Jimenez. Jimenez said that the strong points of the team's play was in the area of de ense and bat- ting was their major weakness. "We left too Tany perggedon base," imeneza e .

Sid Arismendez. I OEA Teaches Students I USIIVESS SENSE ffice Education Association QOEAJ also known as VOE, is an organization comprised entirely ofjuniors and seniors. 'lt is an organization that strives for excellence in school as well as on the job," said Sid Arismendez, OEA president. Being a student in OEA is a challeng- ing experience for anyone. One learns the techniques and rules involved with WOFKEIX in a business office. "O helps us for our plans in the future. We receive first hand training," said Tricia Brechbiel. Through first hand experience, students are trained in different areas for business management, from data processing to business math and many other office related skills involved in daily tasks. A student must maintain good employer-employee relations and a positive attitude towards their job. Students interested in OEA turned in applications to Mrs. Jacqueline Arthur, Office Education Coordinator, prior to the preceeding year. Another require- ment was that they attend job inter- views for prospective employment op- portunities. Once hired, they start at the time stated tg' the employer. The stu- dent is grade on hisfher performances at the place of employment. "Though we do work in OEA, it's a lot of fun and l enjoyed it," said Sharee Hadden.

Jones is privileged to have a National Honor Society QNHSQ. The NHS consists of students who have at- tained a minimum 90 average while tak- ing honors courses at A. C. Jones. The organization is opened to sophomores, juniors and seniors. The main focus of the organization is to recognize those who have worked hard to achieve high grades. Senior Jaime Ortiz takes being a part of NHS seriously saying, "lt was a great honor to be a part of such a tradition as the NHS because only a few are able to be recognized. Mrs. Cherry McClintock, the NHS sponsor, praised the students by describing the club as "important for students to be in and they've worked s .vis 'WNQQJ NHS inew membersl: ifirst rowl Tom Daniel, Cami Bremer, Wilson Ng, Michael Martin, Edwin Vegara, Mariana Past, Cindy Martin, Kelli Tunnellg isecond rowj Cherry McClintock, Sheri Atherton, Sandra Leann Pruett, Chris Dumas, Boyd Hogan, Kirk Gibson, Michelle Barris.

When asked if he enjoyed being a member of the NHS, Vice-President Mike Frontz intellectually commented, "The current administration's socio- economic forecast is in direct cohesion with that which is facilitated. In other words, yes." All are in agreement that National Honor Society carries a certain distinc- tion with those who are involved. Cer- tainly its members have worked hard and displayed the dedication that is the epitome of an honors student.

The Trojan Yearbook EFFORT PAYS OFF g Q ll the work we do pays off in the end," said Marie Chambless, clubs and organizations editor. This year's yearbook class was full of excitement. One could hear the sound of voices and typewriters drowning out the voices. Half the students were in yearbook for 2-3 years, while half were new to layouts, copy, and the dreaded style rules. La 'Chelle' Sanford, one of the begin- ners said, "Even though it's my irst year, I've enjoyed it!" "We had fun. We did our best to make this year's yearbook better. Once in awhile, we'd find ourselves clowning around," said John Womack, peopIe's assistant editor.

I Student Council Lends A Hand I BY GETTI G I OLVED romoting leadership, school and community service, and school spirit were the major cgoals of the Student Council. By atten ing weekly meetings, plus various committee meetings, the members of the Student Counci reached these set objectives by completing numerous projects. One of the biggest projects of each year was Homecoming. ln order to pro- mote more spirit for the occasion this year, the council sponsored "Spirit Week." The week started with a locker bay decorating contest between the classes. The sophomores were the winners, and each class' decorations stayed up through the week. The coun- cil also painted car windows, tied orange and white streamers on each car's antenna on Friday, organized the pre-game ceremony, and presented the Homecoming court on Homecoming night. Student Council sponsored different fun contests throughout the year. Students picked Mr. Wulf to kiss a pig by putting money in his jar. The Spirit Link Contest proved to be a big hit as each class bought links to add to their chain. Something new, the Gobble Con- test, was also added. Before Thanksgiving, four anonymous teachers gobbled on the morning an- nouncements. Students voted on who the teachers were in order to win a prize. The Council also got involved in dif- ferent community projects. Members decorated a Christmas tree for the An- nual Rosetta Club Christmas Tree Forest, also the American Heart Association, the Vineyard, and the Bloodmobile. Attending workshops was one way the members learned leadership skills. During the summer, the officers attend- ed a week long leadership workshop in Seguin. ln February, four members, Travis Tindol, Kirk owns, Kelli Belew, and Amy Matteson attended an advanc- ed leadership workshog at Mo Ranch. "l learned a lot about tudent Council, and the qualities I, learned from these workshops have taught me how to bet- ter deal with the stu ents and teachers at this school," said Vice-President Kelli Belew. Student Council sponsored two dances during the year. After the Calallen football game, students danc- ed to the music of a disc jockey in the gym. The second was a Christmas dance to the theme of "A Winter Wonderland," also held in the gym. All of these projects involved much time and preparation. First year member, Mariana Past said, "If you're not ready to give up Tuesday mornings and other free time, it's not for you. l knew that it was going to be a lot of work to be in Student Council, but it was really a surprise to see just how much. With a council full of dedicated members with good ideas, the year pro- ved to be one of the most successful for the Student Council. -By Amy Matteson In a seminar skit, Kirk Towns is a tree, because it was the only part in the skit that did not involve talking, while also covering his possibly blushed face. .E Student Council members Cami Bremer, Melissa Kimbrough, Jessica Gonzalez, and Cissy DeLaGarza show off their poodle skirts in the An- nual Show as they perform in a 50's skit. lfirst rowj Amy Matteson, Kelli Belew, Marianna Past, Yvonne Lucio, Stacy Hendon, lsecond rowl Michelle Barris, Mrs. Bomersbach, and Jackie Rodela attend a summer workshop in Seguin.

They also competed in U.I.L. one-act play with Children of A Lesser God. The play, a love story about a deaf girl and her teacher, required hours of sign language lessons from the cast.

Balladiers Sing Out THE BEST OF THE BEST "any people have called the Balladiers the best of the best," said Richard Zander. lt takes a lot to be a member of the Balladiers. Each member must work to the best of their ability in order to make the Balladiers what they are now. "It's the most interesting group that l've been a part of," said Anne Treadwell. For the excitement involved, the Balladiers enjoy performing for an au- dience. When the audience is tuned in to the young singers, it makes a good feeling arrive in their hearts.

Many of the students in Balladiers enjoy the things they go through to satisfy an audience. "l'm not only in it for the audience, but l'm in it for myself just as well. The feeling you get w ile on stage is great, but when other people in our families are watching, t e feeling is better, especially when you know they enjoyed it as much as we did," said Charlie Cantu.

I cademic Decathlon Successful I 4TH OUT OF 4 ost students complain about having to be at school by 8:15 every morning. They think it is way too early. Members of this year's Academic Decathlon team would say that 8:15 is no problem considering they had to be at school at 7:00 and they also had to be prepared to work, which is not easy at that early hour. While munching on a blueberry muf- fin, the common breakfast of these champions, the team studied a variety of fields, including: astromony, chemistry, the onstitution, Shakespeare, economics, the Renaissance period in arts and history, all fields of math, and speech making. Any student being an expert in a certain field would sometimes give lectures to the other team members. Also guest speakers would come to talk to team members about a related field. Junior Jimmy Martinez has priorities in order: eat first, sing later. Finally after all the study prepara- tions, the team went to regional com- petition. This year the compeition was held in Harlingen flast years winners of the regional competitionj. The team had to ma e the four hour journey down there and then give a speech and were interviewed before they were allowed to take a break. Most of the team members spent their leisure time wat- ching television rather than studying. Even though the team did not hit the books the whole time they were in Harl- ingen, they still manafged to leave the valley with a total o 14 medals, in- cluding a third place showing in the Super Quiz competition. The whole team agreed that they would not have succeeded if it had not been for their two coaches Mr. and Mrs. Reagan Jordan. The Jordans did a lot of the research that enabled the team to study.

"lt was fun and took a lot of hard work," Junior Betsy Shaar said.

Other members of S Club such as Janet Garcia and Paula Bernsen said that they really enjoy working with Mrs. MargAman. " he's a real nice teacher and the club itself is a lot of fun," said Paula Bernsen. At Friday night football games, the club sold refreshments and on the day of homecoming painted the town. They also collected money during Western Week for the American Heart Associa- tion. During Christmas, money and can- ned goods were collecte for the Vineyard. On Valentines Day the club shared their love by sending fruit baskets to both nursing homes in Beeville. On open house night, they provided cookies and punch to serve the parents. The S Club also donated money to the Ronald McDonald House. Linda Velasco summed up the spirit of the S Club by saying, "It's nice to know that we're helping other people and it makes me feel good about what l'm doing." I FCA STRIVES I TO BE GOOD SPGRT he Fellowship of Christian Athletes is unlike anylgother club at A. C. Jones. CA gives Christian Athletes a chance to get together, put aside the sport- smanlike chores and talk about anything from personal problems to their personal relationship with God. This group was led by Coach Tony Ferguson who also was a J.V. football coach. Laurie Campos said that the main thing that was talked about during the meetings, was God. Besides group discussions, FCA also read pamphlets about the everyday life-styles of Christians. Members fet that CA was a nice alternative for Christian athletes who want to become stronger leaders on campus and off, as well as in the respective sport that they participate in. FCA officers are 11st rowl sitting on floor: David Cuellar. 12nd rowl on table: Shannon Tindol and Kristen Tindol 13rd rowl standing: Travis Tindol, Kirk. Gibson, Coach Tony Feguson, and Stewart air. Junior Laurie Campos shows that you can still smile after along day of running. G.R.A.N.D. Reaches Out with the Cry. . I CARE, PLEASE DON'T USE DRUGS. R.A.N.D. jGenerating Response Against Narcotic o Drugsj is a group of high school and junior high students that help others stop or obstain from using drugs. We've heard the saying "I Care, Please Don't Use Drugs" or " ay Nope To Dope." These messafges are not preaching, according to a ew students involved in Grand. "We're just here to help," said Freshman Dawn Bomersbach. This organization started when Margaret Prowse called English teacher Eunice Bomersbach to get a group of persuasive high schoo and junior high students to speak out F.C.A. member Shannon Tindol readies herself for a run. G.R.A.N.D. membersg ltop rowl Amy Matteson, Scott Trlica, Kenny Boyer, Melissa Rouse, Grey Lyn Prowse, Dawn Bombersbach, Shannon Erler, Courtney Rouse, Lee Ann Massengale, Melissa Torres, Kelly Willis, Rachael Burchfield, Jaime Ortiz, Angie Flores, Peter Vasquez, Russell Langbein, and James Martinez lbottom rowj Laurie Harvey, Jennifer Ramirez, Shannon Finke, Glen Boyer, Eva Benavidez, and Lori Butcher hold signs against drugs and drunk driving. Senior Kristen Tindol shows how easy it is to hit the ball. against drugs. After having a conversa- tion about rugs and alcohol, Jaime Or- tiz came up with the name "G.R.A.N.D." The group was open to all ages although response seemed to be mostly from adults. "lt seems to have an effect on parents," said one student. "If pressure is your reason for not joining GRAND because you're afraid of not being liked by your friends, then they are not your friends to begin with," said Russell Langbein, president of GRAND. "They would respect and accept you for who you were. We can have fun without drinking." "Our main goal is to help people, even if it is just a few, we are making a difference and that is a satisfaction to me," replied Langbein. James Martinez, Jr. said, "Grand is a good group because it is run by students, and if anything is going to be productive, it's going to be run by students at schoo . "I like being a part of Grand. l enjoy trying to help others out with their pro- blems," said Amy Matteson, senior. AFS TAKES SYLYIE FLEBLUT FROM BELGIUM TO BEEVILLE lmost everyone can relate to transferring to a new school in a strange city. But imagine going to a school in a different country, where your problems include more than just meeting people, but overcoming difficulties with the language. Most people would be afraid an have trouble adapting, but Sylvie Pierlot, this years foreign exchange student, said she had no trouble adapting to the differences of America from her home country, Belgium. While Sylvie was in Beeville she stayed with Amy Matteson and her family. Sylvie said she really enjoyed the Mattesons and was going to miss them terribly when she returned to Belgium. Sylvie also said living with the S lvie Pierlot s ends her first Christmas in Y P America with Bob, Amy, and Jan Matteson, her AFS family. Sylvie Pierlot and Flay Welder attend the Mardi Gras Ball sponsored by St. Joseph's Church. Mattesons has helped her improve her Enolish When Sylvie first came to America, she was a little worried about the language problem, but that was easily overcome. The second thing she worried about was living in a desert. "l was really surprised to find out that Texas was not all desert, that is the way people in Belgium imagine it," Sylvie said. "This AFS experience will help me in my later career as a public relations official," she said. Rhea Jones and Sylvie Pierlot, news editors for the cubbies' issue of the paper, work on their lay outs before the deadline. f If 1 wgdx f' 4 ,f . 1' .

REA-1gER'S-CLUB FEW BUT ELITE he members of the Readers' Club had a wide range of in- terests when it came to books. Even though there was this dif- ference, the members still found a lot to talk about. "lt is because of this difference that the club works. We tell each other about our favorite type of book and then they will read it," said President Marie Chambless. The Readers' Club not only discuss- ed certain books but they also watched those same movies. "Not only is the Readers' Club fun gou learn a lot too," said Freshman uth James. Besides the discussion of books, the club held the annual book fair. The money from the fair helped to pay for the club's expenses. "The book fair was easy to plan and fun to do," said Junior Laura Stubbins. This year's membership was small but according to Mrs. Jane Cowart, sponsor, the smaller group made it more enjoyable. 2 l AWARD WINNERS FOUND SPACE I They Are Given Recognition very year clubs go to competi- tion and come back with award winners.

Jones parking lot and hallways this year, a sight many of us thought we would never see. He seemed to appear out of nowhere the man in the blue shirt blue cap and tennis shoes who seemed to wander aimlessly throughout the halls and parking lot. We later found out this man was here to maintain order on the school campus. Many students felt like what he was best was givin numerous tickets to numerous school rule breakers. We often wondered who it was that seemed to enjoy costing us so muc money. The notorous ticket giver was Mr. Thomas Hensley, also known as A.C. Jones High School first security guard. ,ei LCON SPQR S X zo: N. sr. mmvs se:svn.Ls. vexlxs ownzns asa sen Stinson Furniture DECORATIVE HOME FURNISHINGS C5129 358-2095 Beeville Texas 78102 f Q3 .

Jones aren't prehistoric fyet some of the teachers may bej. We're not superman either, nor are we babies. Yet, ever since our first year at A.C. Jones, teachers have handed us little slips of paper called hall passes. Some passes are designed to discourage students from asking to go to the bathroom, library, locker, etc. Yet, the awkwardness of carry- ing one of these strange passes stop- ped some students from going where they "really need to go." Some of the passes that are discouraging are Ms. McQuilkins dinosaur bone and Mrs. Crabbs pamper. Coach Epps is always asked "may I go to the bathroom!" or somewhere else, so he just hands them a 1 ton piece of card board to lug around which gives them a free walk through the halls. Every year, teachers may get outrageous with their hall passes but students still don't mind the easy workout to get out of class. Students are starting to realize that carrying a bone, a piece of card board, or even a dirty pamper around is not too embarrassing. And most important it serves its purpose of getting out of class. Sophomore Ruben Cavazos carries a dinosaur bone hall pass just like prehistoric students used to in Ms. Mc- Quilkin's class. Sophomore Mariana Past lugs around Gary Epps 1 ton hall pass. tBottom Leftj Yearbook 81 Newspaper Students keep to the traditional plain little sophisticated cards which promises a walk down the halls.

Just as Coke and Pepsi rival each odier on the tube, the Economic classes had their own competitive wars with slogans like, "Why buy soggy p ?" "Why buy silly old flowers?"
