What is ELSIK
Without Us?
The student body is Elsik.
Whether representing or
participating in, we are the
true school. That's why this
yearbook is not centered
around the school but the
students and the active life we
lead.

What Is ELSIK Without Us?
Two goals are reflected in our theme MOVING
PICTURES. One is to catch the student body in action.
As you run between and North and South House or stay
till 5 p.m. practicing, you are participating in school.
Spending the day at Surf Side or Sharpstown Mall you
are representing the school. The student body is Elsik.
That's why this yearbook is not centered around the
school but the students and the active life We lead.
Year after year, paragraphs are written about the
memories that will suddenly become significant in ten
years. Well this may seem trite, but its true that your
yearbook serves a meaningful purpose in the future.
Many people will cherish their's by the first class
reunion.
Life in high school is like nothing else. You can
remember the experiences, but never relive them.
Someday you will wonder Why Ms. Pac Man gobbled
your quarters, what was so great about E.T., who was
Tom Selleck Calias Magnum P.I.J, and what attraction
did McDonalds have that brought students there any
time or day of the week.
Elsik is an ever changing environment of learning.
Not just of Shakespeare and binomials, but of life in
general. The student body is so diversified that a wide
variety of life styles can be seen just by walking down
the hall. Itis a difficult task to include everybody and
their interests in one book. Nevertheless, we did try such
a thing in Ramblings '83. In doing so, we found the only
thing we all had in common was that we attended Alief
Elsik High School during the 1982-1983 year.

Senior Superiority
Seniors are different from typical
underclassmen. Not different as in odd, but as in
unique. Lets face it, after four years of high
school, you're bound to have those distinct
characteristics of dreaded Senioritis. No matter
how hard you try to avoid it or how far you run
away, itfs bound to catch up to you sooner or
ater.
To be a Senior, one must have certain
possessions and qualities. For example, your
bookshelves may look more like a Hastings fanis
because theyire done in black and gold. This of
course is the complete library of Cliff Notes
courtesy of any book store and a good part of your
lunch money.
It must be an unofficial rule of AISD
Transportation because you,ll never find a senior
riding the bus. If you are wise enough to think
ahead, you'll start begging Daddy for a car as a
Freshman or go to work as soon as possible to
save for one. If all else fails, either bum a ride
from the guy down the street or walk.
A really cool Senior is never seen without his
letterjacket and class ring. The only exception is
for the guys. They may let their current girlfriend
wear both no matter how long the jacket is on her
or how many rolls of tape are wrapped around
the ring. For the most part, jackets are worn year
around and class rings are never taken off
One thing all Seniors lack is time. Many are
involved in extracurricular activities that take up
afternoons, evening, and weekends. Even more
hold down part time jobs at places like Target and
Minimax. Homework, if done at all, is saved for
the very last part ofthe day which is after Johnny
Carson. This is a very good reason as to why
Seniors are frequently caught dozing in Brit. Lit.
or Eco.
Taking all aspects into consideration, the

It's hard to define this
common "Senioritis,,, but it
seems to hit seniors at some
point in their last year of high
school and some even sooner.
Senioritis affects each senior
differently, and each had his or
her own definition of it. When
asked the question, 'fWhat is
rf'
Hltis a time when seniors are
excited about the prom,
graduation, and getting out on
your own.', - Christy Mata
"It,s a time to party before we
have to grow up.', - Rhonda
Miller
"It is a time when everyone is
tired of school and are ready to
get out on their ownf' - Laurie
Boydstun
"It,s a good feeling because
you finally get out of high
school." - Robert Molloy
"lt,s BADV, - Joe Primo
Some common symptoms and
their causes:
Dashing into school at 8:07 - V
Stayed up until 3:00 a.m.
studying for Government test
and couldn't drag yourself out of
bed until 7:45 a.m.
Fixed looks off into space -
Worrying about college:
Where to go, what it takes to get
in, and most importantly, what
to do this weekend.
Stiff "A.P.', Arm -
Caused by carrying too many
A.P. History books at one
time.
Indigestion -
Caused by stuffing that last
"Del Taco" burrito in your
mouth at lunch while running
from your car to class before the
tardy bell rings.
Being an Awesome Senior -
It comes with the territory.

Privileged or not
Eating off campus is con-
sidered a privilege for seniors.
But is it really? Many seniors
have come to realize how hard it
is to leave campus for lunch. "By
the time you drive to
McDonald's, or wherever you
are going, there is no time to eat
before getting back to schoolj,
quoted a senior.
Another disadvantage of this
privilege is underclassmen sneak
ing out. Most seniors wait for the
big day that they can leave
campus for lunch, but then they
find out Juniors and un-
derclassmen take advantage of
this privilege also.
Do seniors still consider
eating off campus a privilege?
"I feel that it is a privilege
because you don't have to eat
cafeteria food," said Laurie
Boydstun.
"It's definitely a privilege,
since ll throu h my
3 S
underclassman years I looked
forward to itf, said Yui Choe. "If
the underclassmen would wait
until their senior year to take
advantage of this privilege, I feel
it would be more meaningfulf'
"It's supposed to be a senior
privilege. A lot of
underclassmen go out so I don't
consider it a senior privilegef'
said Christy Mata.

A nabbin'
essential.
H
Q These are times of change:
No longer is it considered fun or "cool,' to make prank calls or
wrap houses, now the current craze which is sweeping Alief is
called Nabbin', and though some take it to extremes which may
involve illegalities, it is really nothing more than an elaborate
version of wrapping houses.
Now the question from those who are momentarily oblivious to
this talent Cotherwise known as Beginning Nabbers as opposed to
Experienced Nabbersl arises as to exactly what is Nabbin'?
Nabbin' involves the "borrowing" of various articles of junk
from around town and placing these objects in the yards of
unsuspecting victims.
New teenage pranks seem to come and go with each generation:
whether or not this current craze will last remains to be seen, yet,
for now, the Nabbers of Alief continue to nab to their hearts content
- or at least until something better comes along. Many assure you,
however, that will never happen.

Senior Spirit
Throughout their four years supporting
the Elsik Rams, this year's Senior class
showed enthusiasm which was unmatched
anywhere.
The level of intensity ranged from tears
and anger during dismal football seasons to
one of high energy and cheers of this yearis
season.
The emotions of the senior class were
exhausted due mainly to three losing
football seasons and this year's
close-but-not-quite trip to the dome.
With their visible support shown by
poster parties, camouflage outfits, cakes and
Nabbin' excursions, the senior class proved
its spirit to be of the highest quality.

Varsity veterans
When you think of out-
standing athletes, immediately
two names come to mind:
David Walker and Jeff Bryant.
Both were selected to play
varsity football for their
sophomore year and have now
played varsity for three years.
"When I was chosen to play
varsity football I was excited
and scarced. It took some
getting used to but the coach
helped me through it," David
said. He also commented that
his friends didn't treat him any
different. He felt that the
underclassmen who are moved
up to varsity get some
harrassment, no matter what
sport, but it also gives them a
great opportunity to excel in
that sport.
"I was excited and Nervous
about playing varsity footballf'
Jeff said. He commented that
his dad being head coach had
little to do with him playing
varsity his sophomore year. At
that time varsity had several
injuries, and he was called on to
play because of the lack of
personnel for the position.
Both David and Jeff will
continue to be involved in
football. David will be going to
the University of Houston on a
l
four year scholarship. Jeff will
consider academics as well as
football when he chooses which
athletic scholarship to accept. I

What a reliefl After four graduating classes, the
Seniors of '83 received the privilege of final
exemptions. Though this only effects the spling
semester of each graduating class, seniors feel it is a
well-deserved privilege.
In order to avoid taking the final, seniors must have
no more than four absenses and a grade of a g'C', or
above. Knowing that they might not have to take a final
exam can relieve much tension and aniexty and make
life just a little bit easier for each senior.

We arrived to find a violent
storm in progress - but as they say,
a little water never hurt
anybody.
Overall, it was a wet morning,
yet by early afternoon the sun
appeared and more fun followed.
People were pushed in the pool
and many were thrown in the lake
where seniors dove and flipped off
a high dive, rowed around in a
boat, or rode "the rapidsv in
innertubes. Some played
shuffleboard, putt-putt, and basket-
ball, while others went fishing. But,

trophies.
The food was fantastic and the
music was even better. It blared
throughout the party with great
hits like Mark Schindler's favorite
song s'Pussycat,'. Why, we even
heard our class song played for the
first and only time this year.
From 1Oa.m. to 10 p.m., the fun
never stopped. Great food, more
beverages, music, activities,
friends, memories - what else
could be expected from the
awesome class of '83!

Valedictorian, Salutatorian, Summa Cum
Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Cum Laude.
Everyone would like to receive these prestigious
awards as they walk across the platform on
graduation night. These seniors are the excellent
students in our school, the academic achievers.
But it's not as easy as just wanting to graduate
with honors. These students have spent endless
hours reading, writing research papers, and
studying, not to mention the homework, which
they have done enough of in the past four years to
last them a lifetime.
They should be proud of themselves because
they have strived for the A.I.S.D. goal of
"Excellence in Education" and they have reached
that goal. 2
This year, there were nine Summa Cum Laudes,
eighteen Magna Cum Laudes, and forty-nine Cum
Laudes. In the Senior class, there were 507
students. The Summa Cum Laudes are the top 1
Wo, the Magna Cum Laudes are the top 5 'Vo and the
Cum Laudes are the top l50!o of their class. At
graduation ceremonies, each of these students will
be wearing the prestigious chords of their
particular sector of the class.

he last good-bye
We first started out as children -
unsure of ourselves and our
surroundings. We sought out those
who were like ourselves, and
friendships were formed. Some of
those first friendships have ended,
but many have grown into the close
relationships we now share with
the people we have grown up
with.
Now we are considered adults,
the end of our first stage of
education is complete. Finally, it is
the time we have dreamed of
during the seemingly endless hours
we have spent in classrooms.
Graduation: Our main goal for the
past thirteen years.
Though graduation was a happy
occasion for all, the tears flowed as
we realized that those with whom
we have shared the fullest part of
our lives with will no longer be
there. The hardest words said on
May 25, 1983 were the
ugoodbyesw.

Strong as ever
The extracurricular activity that involves the most
students is sports. Now this is a broad topic and a big
section. From the huge football player to the tiny diver,
each have strengths and skills that are necessary in his or
her particular athletic field. With nine different sports
offered, the students and the coaches stay busy at the gym,
complex, track, and natatorium.
Because we are a 5A school, our competitors are the
largest Houston area schools. Our district 17-5A includes
the six Spring Branch schools and of course, our oldest
rival, Hastings.
The newest sport came this year with soccer, both boy's
and girl's programs were introduced to the Alief schools.
Team sports as usual drew the biggest crowds for old time
favorites such as football, volleyball, basketball, and
baseball. Individuals strove for personal recognition in
such events as track and cross country, golf tennis, and
swimming and diving.
With the constant backing of the administration, and
faculty and student body, sports always receives the
support it needs to thrive as one of our most developed
programs.

ighty Ram football season:
Best of times -worst of times
It was predicted to be the greatest
season to date, and it was, with the Elsik
Rams finishing with five wins and five
losses, yet, it was also the season with
the most downfalls as the hearts of
many Rams and Ram fans were broken
repeatedly throughout the season.
The biggest issue dealt with the
question of eligibility of a Stratford
football player resulting in Elsik being
declared runner-up in the District race
too late as the Rams never got the
chance to prove their worth in the
Astrodome.
Despite the productive season,
losses to McCullough, Memorial and
to Stratford on Homecoming were
deeply felt since the momentum and
spirit before the games reached the
highest possible level.
Elsik's worst defeat by far was the
2 1 - 1 4 loss to Hastings at the close ofthe
season. Though the Rams proved to be
the better, more talented team
throughout the season, they were not
able to channel their efforts into

Year of the Ram for the Junior Varsity
football team, it was a year of promise for
the players. This year,s JV team, under the
direction of Coach Pless, Coach Howe,
and Coach Copley worked hard while
earning their three and seven record.
Even though the scoreboard did not
always show it as such, the players
continually strived for improvement
throughout the season.
They lived through a series of peaks and
valleys and still consistently worked
toward building a promising network of
players destined to be the future' Varsity
Rams.

Good prospects for future Rams
Elsik's underclassman teams,
Sophomore, Freshman-A, and Freshman-
B, all showed a great deal of one thing:
potential. Under the encouragement of
their coaches, all teams had productive
seasons.
The Sophomore football team under
coaches Fawcett, O,Keefe, and Corb,
finished the season with five wins and five
losses. This team, who had problems early
in the season, learned to improve their
attitudes of themselves which greatly
improved their playing ability. Even
though their goal of winning District was
not reached, the team gained a great deal
of experience which will hopefully

Cheers spread
throughout l ik
The 1982-83 cheerleading squad
worked hard to lift and enlighten the
school with true ram pride and spirit. This
year, the cheerleaders worked to support
all sports organizations of Elsik. They
attended swim meets, cross country
meets, and supported many other teams
during the year.
The girls began practicing immediately
after they were elected in May 1982, to
prepare for the Blue-White game. During
the summer there were also many long
hard practices.
Cheerleading camp was held in August
at Sam Houston State University. Here,
the girls worked to perfect their skills and
learn new ideas. Elsik, along with close to
150 other lively squads, competed for
ribbons, awards, and spirit sticks. Elsik
was chosen as one of eight finalists to
compete for the award of excellence,
which is held on the last day of camp.
Cindy Oberthier, cheerleader sponsor,
comments,"The girls are most certainly a
select group. They work hard and perform
with precision. I had no doubt they would
be a part of the final judging. I'm
extremely proud of each and every one of
them and their accomplishments."
The squad, consisting of Kathy Ball,
Laurie Boydstun, Chris Burt, Mindy
Campbell, Dondra Dunaway, Julie
Johnson, Leslie Lawless, Cathy Malone,

ar it 's second in
district
The 1982 season for Elsik's
Varsity volleyball team ended
with twenty-two wins and eleven
losses, and second in District.
Even though the team came out
great in their season, some people
feel they could have done a little
bit better. "We work well together,
but sometimes pressure builds up
and we loose that 'togetherness'
. . .One of us may do something
wrong and we tend to place the
blame on someone else, and every
once in a while, a little jealousy
sets in. I think that at one time or
another we're all guilty of this,"
explains Birggitt Haderlein.
Volleyball is not just a ball, a net
and a group of silly girls standing
around hitting a ball. The game
takes skill, lots of hard work and
dedication. The girls proved this
in the way that they played and the
time and hard work they had to get
into shape.
The team consists of such fine
players as Kara Kellogg, Birggitt
Haderlein, Michelle Craig, Karen
Gray, Stacey Lackey, Lynice
Lawless, Ronda Miller, Marlene
Nunez, Lori Reede, Felicia Seales,
Kristi Skinner and coach
Brannan.

After coming off a 25-9 season
C1 1-5 in Districtj, the Varsity Boys
Basketball Team kept up the
winning tradition. Bringing .home
a 22- 10 record is not bad, but it was
only good enough for a 3rd place
finish in District.
According to Varsity Coach
Jerrel Hartfiel, "Winning the
District was our number one goal.
This year we had a lot of good high
points."
How could a coach go wrong
with outstanding Senior players
like Karl Yust - lst Team All
District, Jay Stricklen - 2nd Team
All District, Oscar Moreno -
Honorable Mention All District,
and Robert Middaugh - Honorable
Mention All District.
Says Coach Hartfiel, "Our
Seniors showed great leadership
the entire year. Elsik High School
has great students to work with."
When asked if he could compare
this year's team with last year's,
Coach Hartliel replied, "It's hard
to compare teams. Both teams'
strength was team play. And both
teams had great Senior players!"

According to Coach Scarborough, "All

performers on the J .V team, Coach
Scarborough named two - Tom Luce and

Next year's J .V. team should have no

Basketball teams did rather well.
Under the direction of Coach
Hugh Null, the two teams
compiled some very good
records.
The "AN team compiled a 14-12
season record, and an 8-6 mark in
District play, placing them in 4th
place. Some of the outstanding
players on the HAH team were Ty
Selcor and E.J. Flores.
The Freshman 'ABN team did
somewhat better overall than the
HA" team. The "B" team brought
home a 2nd place finish in District
play with a 12-2 record. The team's
overall record was 14-6.
Next year's freshman teams will
be made up of mostly players from
the four AISD middle schools,

ffLad Ramsa' hoop it up
68 Sports
The winning combination of
hard work and strong
determination took this year's
Varsity "Lady Rams" all the way
to the Playoffs.
The girls eamed a reputation of
being one of the premier girls
basketball teams in Texas with
outstanding players like Jolanda
Jones, Kara Kellogg, and Tamiko
Dunn, First, Second, and Third
Team All-Greater Houston
respectively.
In pre-district strategy, Coach
Brown signed the girls up to play
the hardest teams in Texas to
prepare them for playing against
the best. In comparison to these
teams, the girls' District season
was considerably easier.
The '4Lady Ramsn finished the
season as Co-District Champs, an
honor shared with their arch-rival,
Hastings. They then went on to
defeat Lamar in the Bi-District
Playoffs becoming the Bi-District
Champs. They were ultimately,
defeated in the Area Playoffs by the t
soon-to-be State Champs, Yates.
The key to the success of the
Varsity team was the motto which
Coach Brown preached:
"Defense, dedication, and desire
- that's what it takes to winln
The girls practiced and played
with this thought in mind, and the
results were clearly visible
throughout their successful
season.

The girls JV team had a phenomenal

The outstanding players on the team were
Sicrdia Johnson and Janna Walker whose
talents eventually were responsible for
their being moved up to play on the

The girls had virtually no problem
defeating their opponents including
Hastings. They all agree that the main
reason for their achievements was the
superior coaching they received from
Bobbie Glaser.
The Freshman girls basketball team

Bodine, the girls produced their winning

Northbrook - definitely the highlight of

team was a surprise to everyone.
They finished third in District
placing four -members in
Regionals. They are: Dexter Webb,
shot put, Tony Rocha, 800 meters,
Trevor Dodd, 110 meter high
hurdles, and Devlin Dunn, 400
meters.
"We surprised people this year,"
said Coach Fawcett, "We could
have done even better if we had
had more people try out for the
team," he continued.
Next year, Coach Fawcett not
only wants to get more people on
the team, but he wants to increase
practice to build up running
endurance.
Other goals of Coach Fawce'
are: the use of more weigl
training, finishing higher i
District competition, and placin
more people in Regionals.

The Elsik Girl's Track team
ended the season with a fourth
place finish in the Texas High
School Girls' State Meet.
Representing Elsik were Wendi
Pena and Jolanda Jones.
Wendi competed in the 3200m
run where she ran a personal best
of 10:55 to earn a third place
medal. Unfortunately, Wendi
injured her foot in the l600m run,
yet she was still able to finish sixth
out of all the milers in the Texas
5A.
Jolanda competed in the 800,
400, and high jump. She took first
place in both the 800 and the 400.
She ran a personal best of 2:08.9 in
the 800, and she moved up a
position in the 400 from her
second place finish last year.
The Ramrunners were led by
Coach Marti Hatfield. They began
the season with workouts right
Making tracks
after Christmas vacation.
The team was a very dedicated
group, getting to school each and
every morning at 6:30 ready to
run. After mnning in the morning,
the girls had to rush in from the
track, take showers, put on
make-up, comb their hair, and put
on their clothes all before second
period.
Then after they finished school,
another hard workout was in Store.
After running anywhere from two
to ten miles total per day, the girls
could finally go home, do their
homework, sleep, and have to get
up in the moming and start the
whole cycle over again.
Always though, the team never
seemed to despair - even though all
they did was run around in circles
every day, literally. The girls were
always told to put forth l00'Vo effort
at all times no matter how
exhausted they were.
Overall, Elsik is knov
throughout the state as one of tj
premier track teams
competition. J olanda Jones
especially known for h
achievements as she is national
ranked in the high jump. TQ
two-mile relay is also national
ranked as is the sprint medle
Jolanda anchors both tear

"They all had the same goal, but they
took different roads to get there,', said
Marti Hatfield, Girl,s Cross country - A
coach. f'We get closer every year, but we
just can't win the big onef' After coming
off a top ten State ranking in 1981, the '82
girls team came in at their best record
ever, 4th in State. "This is the best team
we've ever had. We won District, we won
at Regionals, and everyone just expected
us to win at State!',
The roster was a strong one composed
of veteran runners like Jolanda Jones,
Wendi Pena, Missi Steele, and Tamiko
Dunn. "Jo did pretty good 14th in Statej
considering she only ran the quarter mile
when she first came to Elsik? Dorothy
Kolb was labeled as the most improved
runner by Coach Hatfield. One girl who
did not fare as well this year was Wendi
Pena. "She missed the greater part of the
season with a hurt foot, but she still came
in at 15th in Statef'

For Elsik Junior Jolanda Jones, winning has come easy
After beginning her track career late fshe started in the eigh
gradeb, Jo has certainly made up for lost time. By the sigh
of her well-covered letter jacket, anyone can tell she is not you
everyday track star. Her awards range from District, tc
Regionals, State, and even All-American. Two big factors ii
J olanda's track success are Coach Marti Hatfield and Coacl
Leonard Fawcett. 'fl run for myself and Coach Hatfield. Sh'

Fawcett, J olanda says, "I feel he's the greatest coach in Texa.
He helps me with the high jump, and that,s my favoritf
event." The final goal in J olanda's victory-filled track caree
is a trip to the Olympic Games. "I see my talent as a gift fron

Get in the wim of thing
This year's swimming and diving teams
were outstanding. According to Coach
Gene Watson, "Our swim team broke all
but four of Elsik's records." The records
not broken were the Boys 400 Yard
Freestyle Relay, the Boy's and Girl,s 100
Yard Breaststroke, and the Boy's 100
Yard Butterfly.
Swimmers Penny Rosen and Cathy
Hernandez both made the All-State
Team, and Penny broke a 23-5A District
record in the 100 Yard Backstroke. The
girls' 400 Yard Freestyle Relay and 200
Yard Medley Relay were both state
ranked. The lady swimmers also took
23rd at the state meet.
For the boys, outstanding perfor-
mances were made by Chad Pollack,
Kevin Chema, and Steve Ward. The
season record for the Boy's Team was
4-6.
Elsik Diving coach Bob Lieber was
extremely proud of his 5 member team.
Led by the only girl diver, Sally Sprute, the
team fared impressively at all of their
meets. The diving team should be
commended for their fine performance
this year.

Elsik boys golf team went through a
rebuilding year. Last year's graduation
took four seniors with it leaving Jay
Meyer, the team's only returning
letterman. Tony Mathiason, doubling
with baseball, was the team's only senior.
Jay Meyer led the team finishing 7th in
district, he and Tony had strong showings
in tournaments. "The team played
through some tough courses this year,"
commented Coach Chuck Corb, "But the
team played through them pretty wellf'
Besides the tough courses, the lack of
experience played a maj or role. "We need
more people," said sophomore Ray
Schmidt, "With a few more we should be
able to put together a good team. Making
up the rest of the team is Vic Mehra, Joe
Pizzatola, David Smitherman, Billy
Payne, Lee Drummond, and Mike
Mallay.

A new sport arrived at Elsik this year
Soccer. The Rams competed in District
IOAAAAA by first year coach Kevin
O'Keefe.
The Rams opened the season with a 1- 1
tie against Dulles. Other non-District
games included a hard fought loss to State
champion Srake Jesuit.
In district games, playing without
leading scorer Daniel Escobar, they lost to
Memorial 2-1, Spring Woods 3-1 and
Katy 2- 1. Against the Hastings Bears, the
Rams played one of their best games ofthe
season recording a 1-1 tie. Elsiks first
victory came against Northbrook 2-1.
District play was intense. Elsik tied
both Spring Branch and Taylor 1-1, but
lost to eventual District Champions
Westchester 3-1 and Stratford 2- 1. In the
second round the Rams scored two quick
victories, shutting out Spring Branch 3-0
and beating Taylor 3-2.
Going into the Westchester game the
Rams were in a position to earn a playoff
berth with victories over Westchester and
Stratford. The excited Rams gave
Westchester all they wanted, but the
Wildcats managed to hold on 3-2. During
Spring Break Elsik ended the season with
a 2-1 loss to Stratford.
The team compiled a 3-8-4 season
record. Coach O'Keefe felt it was a

A new Lady Ram
Soccer is a new sport just
introduced into the Alief School
District, and like always, the girls
wore the Elsik name with pride.
"The girls are amazingly talented
for a first year team," said junior
Ginny Hare.
In every sport there is a
powerhouse .team and for the
soccer team there was no
exception. Klein was the team to
beat in the district. Although the
Lady Rams lost to Klein, they
showed positive signs. They
definitely showed that they had
potential. They showed this
potential against Stratford, both
times they played them. The first
time they totally blitzed the
Spartans 8-0, then they beat them
gn their own turfi Tully Stadium,

The girls showed them who was
boss. The Lady Rams also beat

a very tough and physical game.
Ginny Hare scored two ofthe three
goals.
During the season, the girls had
some outstanding players. Here

Baseball a new look
1983 brought a new look to Elsik's
Varsity Baseball Team - Coach Robert
Copley. For the first time in his career at
Elsik, Coach Copley was in full charge of
the team. A new coach meant a lot of new
things for the Rams, including being only
one victory away from the playoffs.
This was, by far, the best baseball team
at Elsik. The team compiled a season
record of 15-10 CDistrict 8-71, but ended
up only in 4th place in District. It all came
down to a four-way tie for 2nd place with
Stratford, Westchester, and Hastings.
Unfortunately, Hastings outscored the
Rams 4-2 to put us in 4th.
Elsik's Chris Tucker made both the lst
Team All-District, and the South
All-State Team.

Elsik's J .V. Baseball Team did not
achieve the same goals as the Varsity
Team, but there were a lot of bright spots
throughout the season.
The team had a record of 9- 1 4 fDistrict
5-95, but next year should be a lot better.
Many of this year's players were in their
first year of high school ball, a big change
from the area little league teams. Next
year they will have the experience they
lacked this season.
The team was coached by Ben Howe, in

Student Life
Students' lives
Students nowadays have a complex life that ranges from
seriousness to silliness. One night its a football game and
the next, a trip down Westheimer. With half a dozen
theaters nearby, movies are still a favorite pasttime. Parties
range from Toga to Luau with few regulations as to what
goes on. Student holidays provide the much needed time
for shopping and working. The longer breaks send students
running to the beaches, slopesg and for seniors, visiting
prospective colleges.
Although some events included in this section arenit
school sponsored, most of them are. Homecoming and
Powder Puff are two such events that take lots of
preparation and are as traditional as student life itself The
Freshman Slave Sale is almost as lively as the Hastings
game pep rally. Drama plays and the annual Talent Show
give students a taste of high school talent just as much as
half time with the Ram Band and Revelliers.
The serious side of student life is school. That means
homework that fills up afternoons. Evenings, hopefully,
are salvaged for something more exciting than World
History worksheets. the dreaded research paper is a sure
way to kill at least one weekend if not more. Of course there
is work. With high percentages of teenagers in the job force,
a student's life is sometimes planned in accordance to a
work schedule. But through it all, we reflect on our high
school years as a time of carefree fun.

Every morning on a game day, the Elsik
gym becomes a roar of excitement with
blue and white pom poms, streamers, and
signs. Ram fans pour in to show their
lasting spirit and support for the varsity
football team.
The Revelliers performed at two pep
rallies, doing a punk rock routine to
"Heartbreaker", and at the homecoming
pep rally, performed a football routine to
'SRage in the Cage." At other times, the
cheerleaders did skits involving varsity
players that always turned out to be a good
laugh.
For the Northbrook game, the AM
radio station 79Q attended our pep rally.
Their support seemed to help for that
night we beat Northbrook 26-12.
The pep rallies opened with the Ram

CC3. 1011
A splendid air of festivity spread like
wild fire as Elsik began its Homecoming
day with a tremendous pep rally. Students
wasted no time showing the Rams that
they were behind them l000fo. With
winning on their minds, the Rams fought
on hard at the game. Although Elsik lost
the game by four points, it could not
hinder the players and the fans from
feeling triumphant, for they knew they
had attempted their best.
Afterthe game. Elsik celebrated its 1982
Homecoming with a successful dance
sponsored by the Senior class. lt was held
at the Elsik North cafeteria with a big
turnout. The senior decorating commit-
tee worked hard to dress up the cafeteria
all in beautiful blue and white trimmings.
All in all, as senior Cindy Benis sums it up:
"The dance was very enjoyable with many
people. and the music was great."

Homecoming lll
It was finally here. On Friday,
November 5, 1982, the Elsik Rams played
their last football game. As always it was
against our biggest rival, the Hastings
Bears.
Spirit and enthusiasm was generated
for the game not only on Friday, but all
through the week. The Student Congress
sponsored a spirit week.
A different style of clothing was
designated to wear on each day of the
week. This contributed to the abundance
of spirit that was shown.
In the halls, the Fight Song, which could
be heard over the intercom between
classes, was joined by students with such
cheers as "Eat more bear meat!" and
HBeat the Bears!"
Even though we lost the game, the
Rams put up a good fight against the
Bears, with the final score being Bears
21-Rams 14.
Ram spirit showed that this football
season had been one of our most exciting.
Our spirit lasted not only during the
season, but all through the year, proving
to everyone that Elsik is still Number
One!

Each year rivalry between the juniors and
seniors reaches a peak during Powder Puff
On November 18, the Senior Commandos,
decked out in camoflauge, challenged the
Junior Kamikazes, wearing white armbands
and red shirts, to a rough and tumble game
of flag football.
It was a tough game for the Kamikazes
because they were up against the only team
that ever won in their j unior year. In the end,
the seniors came out on top with a score of
26- 14. It was a fun night for all with the Blue
Bombers and the cheerleaders entertaining
the crowd. The hard work at the practices
and the spirit at the pep rally paid off for both
teams.
As senior Ruthie Garcia said, "It's a great
way to end the football season. Also it gives
the girls a chance to become closer with the
coaches and fellow players?

f6Mattress" leaves impressio
The Drama Departmentis first major
production for this year was the musical
"Once Upon A Mattressgi' the story ofthe
f'Princess and the Pea" jazzed up with
music.
The show was a huge success enjoyed by
both adults and children. The chorus was
extremely well cast as were the leads.
The end of the first act featured two
show-stopping numbers. One was the
f'Spanish Panic,', an absolutely ex-
hausting dance where all of the dancers
eventually collapse, and the other was the
"Song of Love,', in which the poor
Princess had to do everything from lifting
a large weight to flipping the Prince on his
back.
Act two featured a dance that was done
by the Jester, with the help of his father's
shadow.
The show ran November 19-20 and
there was a special half-price student
matinee during which several of the
middle school drama clubs attended.
"The entire cast and crew of "Mattress,
feels that it was one of the best
productions in Elsik's historyf, said Mr.
Neil St. Clair, director.
Heidi Aydelott said, "I loved it! it was
alcg of hard work but it was worth it in the

Drama Play 117
The stor behind the star
f'Biggest high in the world for me is to hear
an audience laugh and applaud. Itis one of
the best feelings I've ever felt.',These are the
words of Chris Ayres, one of the most
distinguished performers in the Elsik High
School Drama department.
His very first inspiraton to act was
triggered by Roddy McDowell and Vincent
Priceis stunning performances on the
screen. Thereafter, he knew his heart had
succumbed to the "theatre," which he
defines as a realm of life where fantasy can
become reality. He has since done over 100
plays during his eleven years of intense
involvement in the theatre. One ofthe peak
moments in his career was the 1981 State
speech tournament. As a result of his
outstanding performance playing Dudley
Moore in "Beyond the Fringej, one of the
judges beamed that "Dudley deserves an
Oscar. Heis a ten."
However, Chris has had some less than
spectacular times. Once he was criticized for
being too short, thus preventing him from
winning that role. He reminesces, "I was
mad after all, wasn't Napoleon short?"
And, what is his opinion about the Elsik
Drama Department? Chris declares, "Mr,
St. Claire is one of the best directors that
we've ever had. Everyone is enjoying a great
year."
He adds, "Mr, St.Claire is more than
merely a teacher. He's a real friend who cares
alot about the students he works withf'
Interestingly enough, his favorite colors
are red and black. The red symbolizes
passion and ambition, which perfectly
matches his personality. In fact, his visions
for the future are quite firm: 'SI want to be
like Danny Kaye is on Broadway?
So, he has talent, ability, and years of
invaluable experience, the ingredients that
spell success. But what does he feel about life
in general? Of course: 'SAll the world is a
stage. . .li

Jazz It Up
Spotlights and audiences, glamour and
praise. Performing is much more than that.
Just ask those who know best - the
entertainers! Freshman or Senior, North or
South, nothing could matter less when the
lights are blinding your eyes and nerves have
overtaken your senses.
Charles Stinneford speaks for the others
when he says, "Performing is a way of
expressing yourself without feeling many
oftside pressures. It allows you to be yourself
and feel good about what you're doing."Atul
Shah adds that his involvement with the band
"has been more than worth the expense of time
and effort."
Gruelling practice and long hours of
preparation are, Plain and simple, hard work,
But do these students mind? Of course not!! As
Debbie Strube puts it, "Even though Revies is
a lot of hard work, when you bring home a
sweepstakes trophy, it's worth it.', A true
performer can suffer months of getting ready
for that one big chance. When the applause
sounds or the award is received, they are repaid
for their efforts.
Soon after, they are revived from their
exhaustion and are ready to stan all over again.
Most would tell you it's work disguised as fun,
but we really know it's the other way
around.
Laurie Boydstun comments that "cheer-
leading is a lot of hard work and takes up a lot
of time, but it's also a lot of fun!"

Alief on Parade
Everyone loves a parade and Elsik
students are no exception ! The Band,
Revelliers and Cheerleaders participated
in the Alief Autumn Festival parade.
The Alief Autumn Festival is an annual
celebration held every October to
announce the coming of Fall to Alief It
begins with the parade starting at
Chancellor Elementary and ends at the
Alief Athletic Complex.
Participants in the parade are various
drill teams, bands, cheerleaders, dance
companies, area merchants, congress-
men, radio station DJ,s, and area police
and fire department personnel.
The Festival itself takes place at Amity
Park, the permanent location of the
previous eight festivals.
At Amity Park you can enjoy the many
sights and sounds that go on all weekend,
such as a variety of foods, merchants
selling their wares and the
country-westem dance on Saturday night.
The Festival proves to be a big success
every year.
The Foley's Thanksgiving Day Parade
is also an annual parade that the Revies
and Band perform in. The parade was
televised on Channel l l this year. This is
an Honor for Elsik, because in order to
perform in the parade one must be asked
by invitation only.

A new awareness of physical fitness boomed
through the halls of Elsik. People began
jogging, exercising and working out in their
spare time. Of course, people had to dress for
the occasion - legwarmers, leotards, tights, and
sweats became everyday apparel. Of these fads
only legwarmers were wom to school because
of our AISD dress code, but off campus,
exercise clothes were the rage.

f'New-Wavers" Cuddly creatures
New Wave music has made a big
splash at Elsik in the last couple of years.
ltjust this year became an influence on
the dress of Elsik's students. New
Wavers prided themselves on their
many unusual clothes and hairstyles
that made them unique. Cropped and
dyed hair became more "normal'l as the
year went by. They went for the more
casual look of jeans and decorated
t-shirts. Their accessories also set them
apart - buttons, safety pins, chains, and
bandanas just to name a few. And so a
new clique was formed.
News and blues
Several things happened this year
that made headlines in our newspapers.
The biggest event was the
"Extra-Strength Tylenol Tragedy". It
started in Chicago in the fall of '82 when
someone tampered with the capsules by
adding cyanide to them and then
placing the product back on the shelf
The results were devastating - seven
people lost their lives.
A recession plagued the country
creating unemployment and hard times
for everyone. President Reagan, who
was elected in 1980, cut back on various
social programs, including social
security and college funding.
The Equal Rights Amendment was
defeated in the second session of the
97th Congress - it failed to receive the
two-thirds vote it needed to pass.
Texas brought back capitol
punishment by having the first man to
be executed by lethal injection.
On a more positive note, Kathy
Whitmyer was swom in as Houston's
first female mayor.
it's been real: fun, but not real fun
New Wavers: non-violent punkers.
whipped: hooked on someone
Those adorable little creatures
that helped us escape into unreality
have become extremely popular.
Everywhere you looked there was an
E.T. shirt, a Garfield Poster or alittle
Smurf playing football or tennis.
E.T. is the Extra-Terrestrial being
who is so ugly that he's cute. Garfield

Fashion below the knee grew in
importance
First decorated shoestrings
became the craze with everything
from unicorns to Elsik Rams to stars
and hearts. Then students grew
tired of plain white sox.
Brightly colored patterns and
designer sox became an integral part
of fashion.
Finally the variety of shoes made
a statement about current fashion.
For many girls, low patent leather
pumps with bows were a necessity.
Vans were popular for both sexes.

Everyone,s favorite subject is FOOD!!
No matter who they are, food is
important. "Del Taco," 'fMcDonald's,"
"Danver's," "Burger Kingf' "Pizza Hut,"
"Gatti's," "Wendy's:" you name it, we ate
it. That was our favorite motto. We loved
French fries, shakes, hamburger, pizza,
tubs of Coke, nachosg but most of all, we
loved desserts like apple pies, chocolate
chip cookie ice cream sandwiches, and
sundaes.
One of the students favorite fringe
benefits was those fun contest game cards,
they spent time scratching off the silver to
see if they won prizes while munching on
cold, greasy French fries.
The drive-thru was of prime im-
portance for getting food faster. We love
fast food!!

"Worth waiting forln Jeff

"Traditional but expensive!"
is a mutual feeling shared by
many Juniors who purchased
their class rings. The rings were
ordered in September from the
Herff Jones Company and were
delivered shortly before the
Christmas holidays.
The tradition of twisting and
turning rings was carried out
while students compaired their
rings to their friends.
The most popular style was
the traditional design ofthe ram
head on one side and the state
seal on the other. The most
common stone was the March -
aquamarine birth stone which is
light blue.
The average cost of a girl's
ring was S135 and a boy's ring
was S 175. Despite the cost, over
370 rings were ordered, and all
were gratefully received.

Outstanding Students
Everyone likes to be honored and the
annual awards night does just that. On
May 9 in our theater 59 Senior National
Honor Society members received honor
collars and 133 students received awards
from various departments.
Every department gave several awards
to outstanding students. They ranged
from best Physical Science student to best
Advanced Placement Calculus student. It
was a special night for those honored and
their families. Their hard work paid off in
academics as well as in electives.
Congratulations to the nearly 200
students who were selected by their
teachers to be honored for high
achievement in school.

Awards Night 129
Q10
E
Every weekend we're faced with
the same problem: There's nothing
to do in Alief! Students do the
"usual', like going out to eat.
Favorite places of Elsik students
were "Gattis,,, 'fChilis',, "Frys',,
and the ever popular
"McDonalds,', and "Taco Bell".
Movies are usually a good source
of entertainment, but not many
people are willing to shell out S4. 50
per shot, therefore, the S2
midnight and matinee shows have
become increasingly popular.
For the more bold is the activity
of clubbing: a favorite activity of
many seniors. Clubs offer dancing
and major socializing. Most
popular with the 'fclubbersn were
Faces, Confettis, Z-Street,
Rockers, Fools Gold, and Wild
Wild West. For those unfortunate
souls who fail to meet the
requirement of f'proper', I.D.,
"Texas Breezea' and
"Rock-abiliesw offer teennight.
A new form of nightlife is the art
of nabbin which consists of placing
various articles of j unk in the yards
of others. The obj ect of Nabbing is
to see who can 'fnabi' the most
unusual item without getting
caught.
Still fairly popular are the old
standbys: Rocky Horror Picture
Show and video game rooms
By far, the most popular way to
spend the weekend in Alief is
Partying. Though not known for
much else, Alief is known for its
parties. You can be sure that every
Friday and Saturday night
"someone', will have a party and
"everyone', will be there! After the
parties end or are broken up by the
ever present cops of Alief students
make a beeline to

"I can't, I gotta work',, has become
a familiar phrase among Elsik students.
For some, working is a necessity. The
money is needed to add extra income
to the familyls budget. Fortunately,
this is not the case for most of our
working students.
Most people find many ways to
spend their well-earned money.
Attending parties, dancing at clubs,
seeing a movie or simply shopping on
a Saturday afternoon can quickly drain
any paycheck.
Most adults work 9 to 5, but students
work 5 to 9. The after-school or evening
shifts can be found at a variety of
places. Most are employed at retail
stores such as Eckerd Drugs, Target, or
Foley's. Grocery stores like Eagle and
Randall's also draw in students. Still
there are some that work in fast-food
restaurants or even a doctors oftice.
The minimum wageis 53.35 an hour,
with the average number of hours
worked being 17-20 hrs.
With school and other activities,
students manage to keep pretty busy.
Many feel it is a learning experience
and really enjoy their jobs.

CLUBS for Everyone
Almost every interest or hobby is represented
in one of our clubs. From athletics to academics,
there's something for everyone.
If it,s writing you like, join the Literary Club
or the Rampage staff If you want to learn about
music, become a band or choir member. If math
and science are your best subjects, join the math,
sciene, computer science, or JETS club. If you
enjoy being involved in school, Student Congress
or National Honor Society is for you. If it's
performing you like, Revelliers or Drama and
Speech is perfect. Foreign Languages may
interest you, so don't just take the class, join the
club. And the list goes on.
Most of the clubs donlt have a restricted
membership like NHS or Ramblings staff
Usually anyone from any grade is welcome to
participate. Of course it does mean attending
meetings before and after school, but these can
be handled by most students if they aren't too
frequent!
The activities depend on the club. The French
Club may dine at a fancy restaurant while the
Christian Student Union visits nursing homes.
Main events may travel downtown for a bit of
culture while the Math club hosts a tournament.
It really doesn't matter as long as the club has' a
cause to work for.
Whatever your interests are, you're bound to
find a club. But if you're really looking for a wild
and crazy club that doesn't mind being in debt
and causing a ruckus, get on the yearbook staff
and see how the school really runs.

increased to an all time high of 129 members. At the beginning
ofthe year, members sold coupon books, which was the main
money-making project of the year. In addition to raising
money, members of N.H.S. participated in several service
projects for the school and community, such as: tutoring,
cookie donations to Big Brothers, substitute teaching at
middle schools, and carnation sales for Valentine's Day with

Each year students are given the opportunity to
submit art and literary works to be considered for
publication in the magazine, Voices. The Literary
Club provides an outlet for those talents that have
little chance to be recognized in the ordinary
classroom.
To encourage participation, contests are held for
cover art, poetry, and short stories.
This year the winners were: Poetry - Eugenia
Algaze, Short Stories - Huong Ho, and Cover Art -
Phu Phu.
The staff has open membership with editors, Kyle
McCrea1y, Stephanie Zimmerman, and Richard
Hussenini, chosen by Julia Wrotenbery. She is also
the c1ub's consultant on literature submitted, and
Claire Hook is the advisor on art submitted.
Voices welcomes the entire student body to
participate and encourages all art and literature
contributions.
When Mrs. Wrotenbery was asked about the goals
of the club she said, "We strive for qualityand broad

The purpose ofthe Main Events club was to expose
Elsik students to the fine arts by making them
tccessible to them. The club has grown from a few
nembers to nearly seventy active members this
fear.
Jeff Montgomery states, "This club has grown
:onsiderably from last year, and its still growing. It's
:leasing to see more students interested in the
Jerforming Arts. Thats what gives the club it's
Ltrengthf'
Some of the activities included, "Man of La
vIancha,', a musical at Theater Under the Stars, and
'A Prodigal Son in Ragtimev, which was performed
Jy the Houston Ballet. The club also attended several
dramas and comedies.
The Houston Ballet invited the Main Events club
to a free evening of ballet due to a grant they received
especially for high school students within the
Houston area.
Mrs. Hogshead, sponsor, comments, "Until now,
only H.I.S.D. has received all these tickets!"
Sponsor, Mr. St. Clair sums it up by saying, '6It is
gratfying to see young people interested in attending
and developing an enjoyment of live performances of
the fine arts. Not only is it an educational experience,
but it will provide them with an entertainment outlet
they can utilize their entire lives."

True pride of Alief
The Revelliers had another successful year promoting
Elsik spirit. The Revies are a group of hard working,
determined girls who strive for athletic recognition.
Revelliers is more than just prancing around with a big
smile, its an experience which takes lots of time Cup to
20 hours per weekj, and extra effort to learn, perfect, and
perform two exciting dances each week.
This past year, the Revies participated in the creation
of Mighty Ram fever which included dancing at pep
rallies, football, and basketball games, decorating the
school, and the boy's lockers. They also sponsored the
successful Winter Wonderland Dance and marched in
two parades.
Overall, the dedication is evident, and the Revelliers
agree that all the practice, discipline, and sometimes
total hysteria is worth it in the rewarding experiences
each year creates.

allies in the gym, practice during school, afternoon
narching practice in the parking lot, and evening

routine, "Somewhere over the Rainbowii which
concluded with the unfolding of a rainbow and the
releasing of balloons from behind it. The embarassed
Bear band stood in wonder as the crowd rose to its
feet for a standing ovation. The marching band's
success was made possible through each individual's
dedication and sacrifice. The reason for the effort is
summed up in drum major Atul Shah's words, nlts

Varsity Club for bo sg
girls stay with FCA
Boys Varsity Club was once known as the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes but they changed their club name and no
longer conducted meetings on the school premises. This was
because of a decision by the Supreme Court.
Sponsor and Treasurer Coach Fyke says, "We do not
intend to fight this situation. We are going to follow the
guidlines outlined by our administration, but I feel we can
continue to grow." The boys F.C.A. has proved itself
successful participating in projects such as a stadium
clean-up, selling consenssions at athletic events, and a car
wash.
Girls Fellowship of Christian Athletes made the decision
to keep their original name. 'tChanging the name is going
against what the club stands forf, says Mrs. Marti Hatfield.
The girls are no longer allowed to meet at school.
This year the girls F.C.A. has been successful in their bake
sales, a car wash, and a J og-A-Thon for the Heart
Association.

The main purpose ofthe Art Club is to advance the
members' own knowledge. Students who are really
interested in the field of art and may possibly pursue
an art related career might be found in an art club
meeting.
During the meetings they are allowed to do things
of their own interest and to experiment with new and
different kinds of art. For instance, the members work
with etched glass, stained glass, candles, silk screen
printings, and many other different varities of artistic
work.

The Elsik Choral Department really made a name for itself
this past year. Under the direction of its new sponsor, Molly
Ness, Elsik choirs kept very busy. All ofthe choirs combined
to participate in supporting the athletic teams, aiding in
drama productions, and singing in Fall, Christmas, and
Spring concerts, as well as Graduation. The Encore performed
the "Star Spangled Bannern at basketball games and sang at
many other school functions. Earlier in the year, choir had
many students make All-Region, All-District, and Area
choirs. In addition to this, the combined choirs earned First
Division ratings for solos and ensembles at the annual U.I.L.
competition. The Chorale set a landmark by eaming the first
plaque for a First Division rating in Sightreading, and ranking
'fExcellent,' in their performance. Another first for the Elsik
choirs was their combined efforts in the production of an
album of their best songs of the past year. With all of this
behind them, the Elsik choirs have a great deal to be proud
of and a lot to look forward to in the upcoming years.

The working world begins to have an emphasis on young
men and women during high school. Some students make
plans to attend college while others look for part-time jobs.
The students who do not plan on college may be interested
in a program called Vocational Education.
The Vocational Education system introduces students
to the working world in areas of securing jobs, managing
money, insurance, character development and safety.
Elsik's Vocational system is divided into two programs.
The Vocational Cooperative program fcofopj enables
students to attend school half a day and then go to work
in an occupation in which they can achieve their maximum
potential. Furthermore, students will gain a first hand
knowledge of their working field in which they can leam
job responsibilities and employer-employee relations. The
other part of the program is the Pre-Employment Labs.
These classes prepare students for entering Cooperative
Training and gives them basic background of the career
they choose. Students learn job-interview techniques,
consumer credit and buying.
Both of the Vocational programs are joined together
through Vocational Industrial Clubs of America CVICAJ.
Vocational leadership clubs give students an opportunity
to take part in the leadership and the decision-making
process. It also allows them to compete in area and state
vocational contests giving them a chance to see the value
of competition and excellence as well as to meet many
students from other areas of the state.
Throughout the next several pages, one will be able to
take a closer look into the exciting and productive world
of Vocational education.

Distributive Education is a cooperative class
which involves the fields of retailing, wholesaling,
and service selling occupations. DE allows a
student to gain instruction on a certain job through
the classroom and on the job.
"Because the job market is so tough, many jobs
require people with experience," said Mrs. Fuchs,
DE teacher. "The Alief area is hiring people with
some experience. If one doesn't have any
experience, its hard to get a good job. That's why
DE can be an advantage to students."
While in Distributive Education a student will
have an opportunity to learn advertising,
salesmanship, job interview procedures, econ-
omics, and a wide range of individualized topics.
DE presents training in certain fields such as
advertising, fashion sales, gift sales, food store
operation, music store operation and auto parts
sales and services to name a few.
"I think our programs are necessary with todayis
economy. It gives students a chance to make
contacts and references. Students also have
scholarship opportunitiesj, said Mrs. Fuchs.

The right edge
Vocational Drafting is a two year program for
students in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades.
The class meets at Hastings for two periods a
ay.
"I certainly enjoy the program. A lot of the
students from Elsik put forth good efforts," said Mr.
Martin, the vocational drafting teacher.
The program is designed for the student who
knows nothing about drafting. The first 12 weeks is
spent with fundamentals such as, lettering,
dimensioning, etc.. Then the student progresses to
general drafting of stairs, foundations and detail
structural steel drawings.
"Most students who take our first year of drafting
come back for the second year. I believe that
indicates somewhat of how the course is enjoyedj,
said Mr. Martin.
M ,..f vr"' ' I
President Sonya Yielding concentrates
Drafters are supplied with good equipment.
rafting
Second year students do more detailed drafting.
They specialize in pipe drafting and learn to calculate
fabrication drawings. Students are supplied with
tools, equipment, and materials comparable to those
used in the drafting industry.
"Since the economy is not good right now, if a
student goes through vocational drafting, he! she will
have a better chance at a job in that field. And the
jobs they will obtain often pay very good money,"
said Mr. Martin.
The vocational drafting course is exciting in itselfi
but special items of interest are field trips studying
industry, cooperation with their vocational classes,
and a youth leadership group.
If students are interested in drafting and look into

ICT
For the industrious student
The industrial side of vocation is Industrial
Cooperative Training. It is a schoolfwork program
designed to provide the know-how and skills needed
by high school students for entry into industrial
occupations. "Employers like ICT students. They
have a better chance at obtaining a job than other
people because they already have experience in a
choosen field," said Mrs. Hinze, ICT instructor.
A student interested in ICT needs to be 16 years
old and at least a junior in high school before he can
join the program. Students go to school for 4 periods.
Part of the school day is spent in academic classes
while one period a day is spent in ICT with the
coordinator. "It's a neat program. It lets juniors and
seniors collect valuable experience while in high
school," said Mrs. Hinze.
Students are supervised by trained, experienced
employees in such areas as, Auto Repair, Sheet Metal
Occupation, Television Repairman, Baker,
Carpenter and Painter to name a few.
"It's good to take ICT now if interested. It will help
the student work hisfher way through collegej' said
Mrs. Hinze. Students who plan on entering a work
field related to Industry should check into ICT and
its advantages. For the experience and skill, one can't
go wrong.

Another part of the vocational program is the
Industrial Arts classes. These pre-vocational
classes are offered to 9-12 grade students. They are
designed to give an introduction to a certain field
for interested students or preparation for those who
wish to pursue a career in this field. In the Drafting
section general, machine, architectural, technical,
and descriptive drafting are offered. General and
Machine metal-working are offered for students
who like to work with metals. The same areas are
also offered in Wood-working.
The newly-formed Industrial Arts Club has
fifty-eight members. It is associated with the state
and national clubs. It is very active and in April
went to Regional competition. These competitions
involved taking drafting projects to be judged and
taking written test.

VOE is the Vocational Office Education division
of vocation. It is for junior and senior students who
are interested in the business field and its skills.
Students obtain on-the-job training as well as lab
experiences.
"I believe VOE is very useful to students
interested. It is helpful to the college bound student
as well as non-college bound studentj' said Mairim
Simon. OEA is the vocational club associated with
VOE. Mairim is an Elsik student who is president
of this club and very active in it as well as VOE. "I
learn useful skills that will be of use to me in college
and after college also,', said Mairim.
The first phase of VCE is a laboratory course.
Juniors and Seniors who are interested in business
and want to prepare for employment in office
occupations begin here. They learn the basic
operations such as, typing, working with
calculators, operating dictating machines and other
office equipment." VOE utilizes all the basic skills
acquired from previous classes such as, Shorthand,
Accounting, Typing, etc.,', said Mrs. Thomlinson,
VOE teacher.
The second phase of VOE allows senior students
to attend school half a day and go to work on an
actual job location the rest ofthe day. Students are
employed by approved businesses who pay them
a wage and train them in certain areas. "The student
has the chance to try an office position that I place
them in to see if they enjoy it. The business that they
work at and I help the students with any problems,"
said Mrs. Thomlinson.
"I believe the class is very good and worthwhile
for students interested in office occupationsj' said
Mrs. Thomlinson. Students may study such careers
as: Bookkeeping, Clerical Occupations, Cashiers,
Secretaries, Receptionists, Typists, and other jobs
that make VOE an exciting and enjoyable class.

mechanics
General Mechanical Repair is the vocational
class that deals with machines. They range from
lawnmowers to automobiles. Nevertheless, they all
have engines which is the study of the course.
"I enjoy working with engines. Fixing
lawnmowers and cars is a good way to spend the
afternoon," said Mike Lindley, Elsik student.
GMR provides the students the opportunity to
acquire a vocational skill in mechanics.
Students can move up through GMR which can
help them with employment to jobs in this area.
"It's educational. I learn new things all the time,
said Jerry Pitt, Elsik student. GMR is held at
Hastings but Elsik students still obtain full use of
all equipment and get the same advantage as
Hastings students.
"It's fun. I enjoy working with cars. It's a great
way to spend part of my school day,', said John
Jewett, who is also from Elsik. For those who are
interested in mechanical repair, GMR is the road
to travel because of its vast area of education and
general good times.
Students learn how to repair automotive, motorcycle, and lawn mower
engines.
Automotive repair is a major career in GMR.

Building Trades
A career that grows
For students interested in the construction
industry or related areas, Building Trades is the
class to take. "With the high unemployment rate,
students need as much experience as they can get
before they get out of high school,', said Larry
Breazeale, building trades instructor.
Each student spends two class periods involved
with building trades and the remaining periods per
day in two other high school courses needed for
graduation.
Training is provided through lab experiences and
other closely related school activities. Students
learn how to establish a building site, pour concrete
foundation, framing structure, sheetrocking,
painting and other related jobs.
"We're making an effort to serve all levels of
youngsters for gainful employment when they leave
high school," said Lott Brooks, Vocational
Director, "And some of our programs are unique.
For example, our students have the chance to build
a house from the ground up."
Students who are interested in entering the
Building Trades class should have a general
knowledge of math, electricity and
woodworking.
For the student who is serious about the
construction industry, Building Trades can take
them a long way. 'Tve personally talked to unions
in Houston who say they will give students credit
for high school programsfsaid Breazeale.
Building Trades is a good program to enter for
students interested. It can be a great advantage in
the future and it will take you a long way in the
present.

At the age of 16, Jim Ingram has more
:sponsibility placed upon him than most
ther students. He is a junior who is
ivolved in Elsik's Vocational program.
"It's not exciting, but it ain't dull," Jim
tid. "I don't plan on going to college so
iis program gives me a chance to enter
me working world earlyf'
Vocational classes are aimed mainly
award this purpose of starting a
isponsible job early. Jim attends school
r half a day and then goes to work at Sam
hite Oldsmobile as a mechanic.
j "It's great getting out earlyf' exclaimed
m. The vocational program consists of
o classes. The Pre-Employment Lab is
signed to give students a background in
Vrtain fields by learning through school
:tivities and laboratory experiences.
The other class open to students is
o-Operative Training. This enables
'udents to actually go to a working
,cation and earn money. Students who
'e interested in Vocational Education
n study in the fields oi Building Trades,
echanical Work, Health Occupations,
,d Home Economics to name a few.
"Vocation is not for everyonef, said
m. 'fltis for those who don't plan on
Ding to college, but want to start their
lture early and are willing to take it
:riously. The vocational class at Elsik has
orked well for me. It gives me a chance

Joe Rosa, another student who attends
lsik High School, is also involved in the
ocational Program. Joe attends school
ntil the end of fourth period and then
ues to the family owned restaurant to

"I work at my father's business, LaRosa

family restaurant, Joe replied, "It's alot
sier working with family members than
yone else. We all get along and enjoy
orking together."
Joe's dream is to own his own
:staurant after high school. One might
as usual
consider that working after school in a
vocational program can effect grades and
homework, but according to Joe, "My

Class nscious
You meet a new friend the first day of the Semester.
Casually you ask a few general questions: What,s your
name? What are your classes? What grade are you in? The
latter is the most important.
Usually its easy to tell what grade someone is in by
certain characteristics. For example, Freshman donat come
any taller than 5'. Their growth stops in eighth grade only
to make an extreme come back the summer before they are
Sophomores. These "miny high schoolersl' get along pretty
well unless they buy elevator passes or insult Seniors.
Sophomores gain some self-confidence because they
have successfully made the transition to high school. Now
its time for them to throw away their map and become
involved. At least now they have a class beneath them to
push around.
Juniors are a totally different story. This is when they
begin to acquire, along with a class ring, the arrogance and
apathy that it takes to be a Senior. Powder Puff is their first
chance to prove just how tough they are. Hang in there
Juniors, its not that much longer till you're the superior
class.

The Juniors have done many
fundraising projects throughout their
high school years. During their Freshman
and Sophomore years, they had two
major sales: the Freshman Slave Sale and
the class t-shirt sale.
As of J anuary 25, 1983, the Juniors had
raised a total of 51,207.55 They were a
tremendous help during the football
season. Such money raising projects
were: stadium clean-up, program sales,
and concession stand. These three
projects have been the most help in
raising the needed money for their Senior
Prom.
Other sales consisted of the Bake sale
and Car Wash. Powder-Puff was also a
major money making event. These
projects increased the Junior class
account to a total of S3,346.l4.
During late April-early May, the
Juniors picked up donut sales from the
Senior class. Juniors should be looking
forward to a hard working year in order
gr raise enough money for their Senior

Junior gold rush
The new ,84 gold rush has come
to Elsik. The long awaited senior
rings have finally arrived, but
studentswerenotas pleasedas they
were last year with the outcome.
"The school didn't give you a
variety of rings. I wanted
something different from
everyone else,', said Kay Martz.
Since the price of gold keeps
steadily increasing year after year,
the selection of rings decreases.
Juniors have turned toward the
unique style that jewelry stores
offer instead of school tradition.
"The school rings looked just
like the guys, only in a smaller
version. I wanted something more
feminine. I got something I liked
better for the same price the school
offered, "said Laura Fernandez.

Driver's Ed.
pa s off
Classes with football coaches are
usually known as "blow-offs', but
Driver's Ed is the exception to the rule.
For most sophomores, Driver's Ed is a
class that is looked forward to and is
usually never forgotten.
Diane King said, "I messed around a lot
in the class and we had a good time. The
work was long and boring, but I guess it
was worthwhile?
"The only part I didn't like was looking
for the newspaper articlesj, said Chris
Broussard.
Leslie Lawless said, "It was alot of
work, but it all payed off when I got my
license."
The class is alot of work, but the coaches
add the laughs and j okes and their football
stories keep you going from day to day.

coaches, I would never have made it

385 on a roll!
As of J anuary 21, 1983, the sophomore
class, consisting of 673 students, had
reached an amount of 35,675.85 in their
class account. "Mrs. Goldman and I are
very pleased with the amount of money
our class has raised," said S. Heintschel,
sophomore sponsor.
Making a profit ofSl,952.75 in 81-82,
the class of ,85's freshman sale was the
most successful in Elsik's history.
In '82-'83, sophomores sold pro and
college tankards as well as the traditional
204 Classes
Ram mugs. This project added 53,571.62
to the account, and the Christmas
camation sale grossed 315150.
During the class of 85's Junior year,
they'll handle the program sale at the
Powder-Puff game and at least one other
money making project. The Senior year of
'8 5 includes a project, donut sales, and the
Powder-Puff profits. The way things are
going, sophomores should be looking
forward to an excellent prom!

The Sophomore Slump
Rodney Dangerfield's famous
quote: "I donit get no respectlv
could probably define the exact
feelings of a sophomore.
It gets kind of tough when you do
something to make a total fool out
of yourself and you canit use the
excuse HI didnit know because lim
a Freshman," or a J unior's favorite
reply, I'm almost there," or the
most common alibi, "Hey! Leave
me alone, Pm a Senior!
Starting Algebra and cutting on
frogs in Biology can get
depressing.
Some sophomores think it's an
endless battle. Lynn Hahn said,
f'Sometimes I feel like 1,11 never
make it out of high school? And
Sue Simmons said, 6'Will I ever be
a Senior?"
So donit feel like the Lone
Ranger. If you're going through the
"Sophomore slump," remember,
at least you're not a Freshman.

Soap Sensations
O
al
Will David drive his porsche off of
Dead Man's Curve because of Tarals
affair with Brock? Or, will Tara proclaim
her love for David and admit she was
being blackmailed by Lefty, the Mob
hitman? Tune in tomorrow for another
dramatic episode of "The Young and the
Hopelessf'
Soaps used to be the shows for
housewives, but now they've hit the big
time with Elsik girls. Have you ever
wondered why so many of your friends
watch soap operas?
"Because the men are so finej, said
Julie Poole, junior. Rhonda Brekke,
junior, said, "1 watch them because my
Mom does." Angie Nagy, junior, said,
'Tm addicted to 'emli' And an
anonymous senior added, 'LI love to hate
Erica Kane!"
These Elsik fans all miss their soaps
because of school and they feel the hardest
part is keeping up with them. Some girls
resort to Soap Mags, pestering mothers, or
even video-taping their favorites!
But one thing is for certain: watching
soap operas can be compared to eating
rufflesg once you start, you can't stop!

he New ave
The new wave has come to Elsik!
Freshmen are being washed in
from every Junior High and some
from other parts of the city, state,
and country.
At the beginning of every school
year there are always new faces in
the crowd, but distinguishing the
new faces and the new Freshmen is
quite easily done, you just have to
look for shaky knees and eyes filled
with terror!
Freshmen will always be as-
sociated with apprehension and
terrifying experiences. But soon
the new Freshmen will be middle
class Sophomores and the scarey
experiences in High School will be
replaced by the hum drum life of
being in 10th grade.
One day though, all their dreams
will come true because then they
will have reached the coveted place
of an Upper Classman!

Tim Culbertson, a Junior at
Elsik High School, was selected to
go to Washington, D.C. March
5-12 to represent the Junior class.
Tim wrote two essays on why he
wanted to go to the nation's
capitol.
The essays were judged by the
Government and History teachers
at Elsik. When asked why he
wanted to go, Tim replied, 'GI
thought it would be interesting to
meet the people. It would be more
of a first hand experience."
The essay contest is an event that
takes place every year. The winner
receives an all-expense paid trip to
Washington, D.C. from Re-
presentative Bill Archer. While in
Washington, the winner gets to
speak to the Vice President and
acting members of the Pentagon.

An Active Staff
The teachers of our school not only provide
a constant supply of homework, but leadership
as well. Our faculty teaches citizenship as well
as Algebra and history. The student body is
fortunate not only for an excellent teaching
staff but also for an involved staff Many
sponsor and support various clubs, sports, and
school activities. This keeps many teachers
busy with more than school work, but its
certainly appreciated by the students.
A revolutionary way of teaching in Alief is
AIM or Alief Instructional Model. This
teaching program adopted by AISD has been
taught to our teachers through a series of
workshops. Their concm for the students is
evident by the constant improving and
sharping of teaching skills.

One teacher who's not out to lunch
Anyone who is invited to his
house is overcome with almost
sheer disbelief at what they are
seeing. When he told the Drama
Club that he collects lunch boxes
he wasn't kidding.
Mr. Neil St. Clair has well over
200 different lunch boxes from all
over America and even one from
China. In addition to collecting
lunch boxes he also collects science
fiction novels, plays, records,
bubble gum cards, and all sorts of
interesting tidbits.
Mr. St. Clair has been acting
professionally since 1975 and has
done several touring company
productions. It was in fact during
Mr. St. Clair shows his collection to a friend.

Frankly, Miss Scarlet, I don't give a pflbth!
A different so
of teacheris pe
Like most people, Biology teacher Rick
Grossman likes animals. Not just cats and
dogs but snakes and tarantulas, too.
He first became interested in snakes when
he worked at the Philadelphia Museum of
Natural History. So three years ago he
bought a newbom boa constrictor and
named her Miss Scarlet because of the red
color of her tail.
At the time, Miss Scarlet was about as big
around as a pencil and not too much longer,
but, with her monthly diet of one rat, she has
now grown to a length of three and a half
feet.
When Mr. Grossman moved to Texas,
Miss Scarlet was transported in a pillow case.
Needless to say, she received a lot of
attention from the other passengers on the
plane.
Why a boa constrictor as a pet? Mr.
Grossman replied, 'GBecause sheis different
and unusual and she's interesting to
watch."
In addition to Miss Scarlet, Mr. Grossman
also has a cat. Because of the up kittenis
misfortune of being abandoned, she was
appropriately named Tsooris which means
heartbreak and sorrow in Yiddish.
by Kim VonDerAu
Kay Stephenson, Linda Graessle, Susan Talley and Kermit.
Setting examples
Remember when teachers used to spend the
norning yelling at you about homework, spelling
pests, and those dear-to-our heart pop quizzes?
ell, that's changed Cat least for the most partj.
eachers now spend Friday mornings yelling
ITH the students. Pep rallies have become one
mf the biggest forms of spirit building for students
md teachers alike.
It is not unusual to see the history department
lressed up with frogs CKermit, no lessj on their
ceads or the math teachers covered with Columbia
lue spirit buttons, ribbons, mums, etc.
But, some teachers go even farther. Some of the
Bore spirited teachers don't schedule tests and
ajor assignments on game days in order to get
iveryone to the game with the knowledge they
Eon't have to do their tiig homework in
ovemment class the next day. Or, if there is a test
,fter a game, some teachers clear their conscience
ny giving bonus points scaled on how many points
he Rams scored the night before.
With teachers like these, one can be assured that
pirit will never die at Elsik.

People at
the top
Although Elsik has three
principals, Bobbie Porter is at the top
of this chain of command. As far as
business goes at Elsik, he has the final
say. This applies to hiring teachers,
evaluation of teachers and
curriculum and most importantly
budgeting for classes.
Mr. Porter is the principal overall,
but each house has its own principal.
Elsie Keeling is North House
principal and Charles Cothran is
South House principal. Each
principal has basically the same
duties in their respective houses, but
Mr. Porter sees that both houses work
together.
According to Mr. Porter, this first
full year at the new Elsik has been one
of Elsik's better years. With the
supervision of the administration
and staff and the cooperation of the
students the year has flown by
smoothly.
"0verall, it's been a good year,"
said Mr. Porter.

222 Administration
.. and those second in command
Believe it or not, Elsik Assistant
rincipals don't spend all their
me sending students to deten-
on hall and IBS.
,They spend most of their time
,onitoring student activities,
andling discipline referrals,
'aluating and observing classes,
lonitoring attendance of stu-
ents and in the words of South
ssistant Principal, Frank
trrett, "any other duty as
ssignedf'
Gwen Tooke, South Assistant
Principal for students A-M, is in
charge of textbooks for South
House, detention hall and teacher
duty for South House.
Mr. Jarrett oversees main-
tenance for South House, all
parking lots and permits and all
students in South House N-Z.
In the North House, Dirk Engel
is responsible for disciplining
North House students A-L, all
maintenance for the North
House, North lockers, bus duty
and IBS.
And last but not least, North
House Assistant Principal Patsy
Hoover monitors attendance of
North House students M-Z,
oversees detention hall for North
House, shares textbook respon-
sibilities with Mrs. Tooke, and
prepares ballots and monitors any
voting during the school year.

Counselors fill void
"Our goal is to help the students
help themselvesj' says South
House counselor Dick Whatley.
Elsik's counseling system consists
of six qualified men and women,
all working to help Elsik students
with problems ranging from
educational to personal.
For instance, in the North
House, John Hall counsels
students A-G, Charlene Baker is
in charge of students H-O, and
Charlotte Thornton counsels
students P-Z.
In the South House, Dick

Whatley helps students A-E and
U-Z, Carolyn Clark counsels
students F-MI and Ginger Jones
is in charge of students MO-T.
"There,s something going on all
the time," say Elsik counselors.
They keep busy by monitoring
tests like the SAT, ACT, PSAT
and TABS and helping students
with individual problems.
The counselors can use the
testing information in helping the
students with personal or educa-
tional problems. They may not
always have the solutions but they
do have the referral systems.
That in itself is pretty time
consuming. But this doesn't
include the many weeks spent on
class schedules and the individual
meetings between each student,
parent, and counselor.
Counselors fill a certain void
for the students. "We're not
teachers and we're not
administrators. Welre in the
middlej' says Dick Whatley.

Since we are a gregarious society, we tend to
join groups of many different kinds. A wide
variety of organizations is offered at school and
a majority of students join at least one, if not
more.
To make more room for candid pictures ofthe
organizations the group pictures have been taken
out of their normal place and put in a section of
their own. This is the place where all the members
of all the sports and all the clubs are pictured.
Group pictures will mainly be used for
reference when recalling the members and
officers of any club. So look here to see who was
involved in what and look in the other sections
to see what there was to be involved in!

Ads from lief
One of the ways we pay for the yearbook is
through ad sales. Most are brought by businesses
in the Alief area although some are bought by
parents and students. These people support the
community by contributing to Alief schools in
many different ways and ads are just one
example.
So look through these pages and see which
businesses you can use. Remember, patronize
these contributers as they work towards offering
an even higher standard of quality goods and
services.

High School
Memorabilia
At the beginning of this yearbook, you, the
student, were told that the student body is really
Elsik and this building we attend classes in is
merely the shell that houses us nine months a
year, five days a week, seven hours a day.
Throughout this book we have shown who really
is Elsik. Through pictures and copy, as many
events were covered as we, the stafi could get to.
The people pictured are all your peers and
classmates. Many you will recognize and many
you won't, but together we are Elsik. Ramblings
'83 is nothing but high school memorabilia, it
was designed for that purpose only. Years from
now this yearbook will help you recall the year's
events and happenings through . . .

ditor's Note
Well, this year is over and I must admit Pm sorry to see
it end. It seems like I've had too much fun to have been
a student at the same time. Working on this yearbook has
been part of that fun. It is the best thing I'll have to remind
me of my Senior year. Sure the friends, class ring, tassel
and cords, and diploma will bring back memories, but
none can illustrate this year like Ramblings '83, It is a
treasurer that I'll always cherish and I hope you will
too.
A great deal of work went into this book by many people.
This staff was great and so was their work. We had some
real swingers who kept things lively throughout the year.
The most prominent one in my mind is Ruthie. I've come
to the conclusion that this Commando Queen will spend
the rest of her life in hot rollers. Lil' Deb provided
hypothesis with great scientific value: junk food can
sustain life and Cameros can still run though filled to
capacity with Coke and Tab cans. Colleen and I are M8LM
buddies. We had great lunches outside Minimax of yogurt,
grape soda, barbecued fritos, and, ofcourse, M8LM's. That
Bunny made great caramal brownies too. Dear Allan was
the best dressed of us all. CGQ all the way D Its good to know
that he got his window fixed so he wouldn't always have
that wind blown look. John was good for a joke or two
though most weren't any too proper. Laurie cheered us
through the year to a big finish at the Schindler Ranch
along with Mark and Nick. All three of them deserve a big
cheer for their fantastic all-day party. Christy deserves
praise for not only getting us shoestrings, but also Liquid
Paper from Buffalo Pharmacy. Terri, well she tried but
Ruthie influenced her too much ! Gust kiddingj. This
Clubs section editor worked hard on chasing down pictures
and writing copy. Dingy Marie proved to be a valuable
asset when she and Debbie finished the Fads and Fashion
layout on the day of deadline. Those wonderful staffers
who got the two most boring jobs are Misty, Bethy, and
Ericka who did Classes and Index. They deserve many
thanks.
Kim and Jennifer became our ad solicitors to Alief
businesses. J eff along with Marie, tackled the Vocations,
which for the first time were put in a section of their own.
Kim had the honor of putting the administration in their
place, fin the faculty section ofcourse D. The two that spent
most of their time running around the school in search of
pictures and information for Clubs were Rhonda and
Angie. My two favorite Brillo heads were Joel and Troy.
For taking such bad pictures they sure spent a lot of time
in the darkroom "printing,' their best shots. Last and also
least come the photographers. These poor people have had
their brains rotted by Dektol and Orbit bath. You can tell
by the way they dress: everything from garish plaid pants
and red silk Ralph Lauren ties with brown ducks to
parachute pants and button downs buttoned all the way
up! Oh well, I must say they did excellet work this year
294 Closing
although Ilm not humblely in their debt nor did I add th-
Editor's note to their page.
Cathy, head photographer, was great about running he
MG to all the football games though she preferre
portraits. Lee Ann had a very candid approach to refusin
photo work orders. She would simply tell any staffer th
she didn't feel like it! Now Peter, he was real good abou
taking pictures at a moment's notice. He also gave the be
parties as all of Alief knows land probably everyone els
since they all camel. Chris did such good work and so muc
of it that he received the J oumalism Award. Glenn joine
us half way through the year and was by far the preppie
photographer we have ever had. He had an MG lik
Cathy's except his was an orange Midget. These people di
a lot of their work outside school and we appreciate the
giving up their free time to take, process, and pri
pictures.
The entire staff deserves recognition for a job well don
This yearbook was a big project and although we enj oye
it, I'm sure we are all glad its finally finished.
Three teachers in particular I would like to thank fo
helping me through this year. First of all, and a ne
addition to the Elsik faculty, Mr. Fairman. Though he c
us all a lot of slack, we still learned the details of o
govemment and economy. He was never too busy to te
us about college and the "real world,'. Next is Mrs. Malon
who postponed essay tests and didnlt count tardies C
attendance for that matterj. She taught AP History an
sponsored NHS along with Mrs. Wrotenbury. And finall
Mrs. Osmon. She was the Ramblings and Rampag
sponsor. Without her, we would never have gotten all th'
finished by deadline. I really enjoyed working with Mr
Osmon and I can forge her signature perfectly. Than
Elsik, for a great four years.
