Once I became a senior, I realized that
I'm growing up and that il's time to face
the realities of the world. High school
is my first step, college will be my next,

Only the Beginning . . .
We are the future. At least we a family, or pav our bills without
think we are. After spending the
majority of our young lives in
classrooms, stadiums, shopping
malls, on the phone, and at
part-time jobs, we will all
eventually graduate to the
challenges and responsibilities
of the real world.
High school remains one of
many stepping stones on the
road to success in an ever
changing world. Everything we
learn in school, whether we
realize it or not, will help us
achieve in some way. Whether
it's geometric proofs, sentence
diagramming, or the massive
crowds and lines in the cafeteria,
we experience t he i mporta nee of
an education, as we learn tosolve
different kinds of problems and
get along with people for seven
hours a day.
We cannot take charge in the
future if we do not take care of
business in the present. How can
we expect to run for a political
office, be a lawyer, teacher, raise
learning the basic tools of living
while building our confidence
and integrity. Our generation
will be part of the backbone of
society in years to come. If we
expect to leave our mark in
history, then the rough edges
need polishing before we can
effectively meet challenges of
tomorrow.
When that joyous day in May
rolls around and we step across
that platform, we'll be on our
way to a new life. We'll be
expected to make decisions on
our own, keep a budget, wash
our own clothes, cook our own
meals, and elect our own
government. We can either
forget what we've learned in the
past twelve years, or we can use
it to grow and make the best of
our lives. Whether we believe it
or not, we will be the decision
makers of tomorrow.

Getting Started 3Preparing For
Tomorrow
Good Times: High school,
known for its good times and
great memories, also contained
some bad times. Besides school
itself, the world around us
experienced frightening acts of
nature and mankind. We weath-
ered through Hurricane Alicia, a
winter cold spell that hit a
pipe-breaking temperature of 10
on Christmas Day, and the great
flood of Alief. We made it
through bombingsin Lebannon,
Grenada invasions, and the
Russian gunning down of a
Korean airplane. But still, those
weekend adventuresand parties
we attended will be just as
unforgettable.
Personal Hies: These last four
years before going to college, or
simply stepping out to conquer
the world, are moments for
building individuality. Except
for some unique people, peer
pressure seems to make us blend
into one personality. Of course,
age has a lot to do with it.
Freshmen thrive on being just
like everyone else, but by the
time we are seniors, the world
has had a glimpse of our true
selves.
Competition: Our football
team struggled through a tough
season after losing a large
number of players last year. Vet,
All American Senior Sammy
O'Brient seems destined for a
bright athletic future. Startling
was the news of Coach Bryant's
resignation as Coach Sciba
stepped in as the new
coordinating coach. Senior
Jolanda Jones and Junior Wendi
Pena led the girls' cross country
team to a 7th place finish.
Participation: Ba nd, choi r, a nd
drama remained the strong
holds of clubs and or-
ganizations. Grease, the movie
and Broadway play, marked the
first major musical production
of the drama and chorale
departments. The journalism
department cleaned house with
a new adviser and brought
home three state individual
awards for photos and ads.
HOSA sent many students to
state.
Learning: High school
becomes a chance for us to learn
to live with the way people are
and to get along with them.
Through teachers, counselors,
and administrators we learn the
importance of an education and
importance of friends. We're
taught to look ahead and prepare
for tomorrow. The mistakes we
make today are simply added
strengths for the future.
Support: Without the
necessary support of local
merchants, the Ramblings '84
would not exist. Support also
refers to families, teachers, and
peers that stood behind us when
difficult situations and prob-
lems appeared as an uphill
battle.
As we graduate and take our
knowledge and memories out
the front door, seniors will no
longer be at the top.
Circumstances won't be as
simple and as easy to solve as
they were. We will be a part of
a more complicated world,
getting started all over again.

Good Times 7Everyone Shines
On Homecoming
We're gonna beat Spring
Woods big time, said Senior
Mary Martin. After davs of
planning and spirit building,
the big night finally arrived.
September 30 brought hun-
dreds of spectators and many
alumni through the gates of
A lief Stadium.
As the nominees for
Homecoming Queen, Seniors
Linda Cur ., Michele Espinosa,
Sandy Lawrence, Lisa Locke and
Jennifer West, were escorted
onto the field, the spirit of the
evening came alive. The elected
underclass court included
Junior Leslie Lawless, Soph-
omore Michelle Williams, and
Freshman Melissa Her .og.
The crowd waited on the edge
of their seats for the
announcement of Homecoming
Queen. The stadium speakers
crackled as Jennifer West won
the title of Queen. The ex-
Junior Dutchess Kim Adams is also a
varsity cheerleader. Photo by R. Law
pression on her face revealed
tears and sheer delight, and her
excitement was shared with all
that knew her.
Before halftime, Jennifer,
co-captain of the Revelliers
exclaimed, I'm nervous. I'm
even more nervous for the
Revelliers . . . this routine is
either gonna make it or break it,
and I think they're gonna make
it.
Through all this hoopla of
mums, getting dressed up and
going out to dinner, the true
meaning of Homecoming was
still represented.
Graduate Kim Kao said, Even
though we're Aggies now, we'll
always be Rams at heart.
Graduate David Walkersummed
it up saying, 1 came back to
Homecoming because I missed
it. I just missed the people.

Homecoming Good Times 9Homecoming Spirit
Proves Spectacular
I'm gonna have a great time
tonight! exclaimed Senior
Keith Patterson. That seemed to
represent the general feeling of
students all day long on Friday,
September 30. Although the
varsity team had failed to win a
game until Homecoming, a
special feeling of success filled
the air that day.
As Senior Angie Garvin
described, I think the spirit
level has died down a bit lately,
but after the pep rally it was as
great as ever! Even as one
arrived at school that morning, it
was evident that something
different was happening. The
many rolls of toilet paper draped
over the school and the tiger
hanging from the North House
flagpole symbolized a great
amount of spirit for the team on
that day.
After Coach Ward announced
team captains Sammy O'Brient,
Joel Marino, and Ronnie
Mindrup and each made his
speech, Ronnie courageously bit
the head off of a live lizard. Why
did he do it? To show that he was
fired-up for the game. What was
the crowd's reaction? They
loved it! All of the effort finally
paid off when Elsik won their
first game of the season and
defeated Spring Woods 7-0.

llomecoming Good Times 11GREASE is The Word
As the crowd packed into the
Little Theater on October 22nd
and 23rd, a special moment
occurred backstage. The cast
held handsasMiss Boonesaid 'I
want to pass the magic now,
and magic it was for the drama
and chorale departments. Their
first major musical production.
Grease, became a huge success.
Maybe the new drama teacher
Carolyn Boone had something to
do with it, or maybe the great
amount of student support
contributed to the show's pizazz.
Perhaps the group that gathered
every afternoon for hours of
grueling practice constituted the
main element of this exhibition
of talent. Definitely a combina-
tion of the three made the play
a success.
Senior Lisa Boulware and
Junior Will Clark, portraying
Sandy Dombrowski and Danny
Zuko respectively, led the
Grease cast and crew. Lisa has
been involved in the theater
since eighth grade playing
Annie in her first role. I
auditioned for every play in
school and I wanted this part. I
knew Sandy would be a
challenge because she changes
so drastically in the end,
explained Lisa Boulware. A lot
of people doubted Sandy just
like a lot of people doubted me
- but 1 did it.
I just tried out for a part. I
wanted to be in the play,
described Will Clark. After
learning that he had won the
part of Danny Zuko, Will said,
After the initial shock and
excitement wore off, I started
thin king about the character and
how I could develop him.
When the curtain had closed
and the theater had emptied,
Lisa Boulware had one final
thought, I was higher keyed
than I'd ever been, and I wanted
to do it again and again and
again.

We Like
To Go
Walking through the halls on
a Friday afternoon you're almost
sure to hear the question, What
are you doing tonight? You'll
also hearsuch answers asChili's,
Mr. Gatti's, Westheimer, a
concert or Windchimes.
The occasion for being at a
particular hangout varied. The
most popular reasons were
partying after a football game,
being out on a date or just
something to do on a Friday
night. Junior Chris Broussard
explained, I just like to go out
and see my friends somewhere
else than at school.
Another popular hangout was
one of Alief's many well-known
parties. A party could be found
by asking someone or just
driving around and finding a
house with a lot of cars outside
it.
Concerts also proved a
frequent hangout. Houston
drew groups such as The Police,
Lionel Richie, Yes, Duran
Duran, Heart, Stray Cats,
Alabama and Genesis. 1 like
concerts because you get to see
what you hear on the radio, said
Junior Missy Brown.
Then, the sand, the waves, the
sun . . . our old friend, the
beach. Senior Rita Talastas said,
The beach is so much fun
because you can just load up your
car with friends and go.
Favorite beaches included
Galveston, Surfside and Corpus
Christi.

I've got ulcers!” No this isn't
an antiacid commercial. It's
senior powder puff Coach
Wayne Watson describing the
pressures of powder puff
coaching. The game, which the
seniors won, brought several
changes.
Attracting the most attention,
the change in policy about not
having nicknames on players,
cheerleaders, or Blue Bomber
shirts upset many students. I
think it worked out better this
way,” commented Junior Spon-
sor Mrs. Heintschel. Junior
Shelly Hopkins said, I
understand why they changed
the rule but, couldn't they find
a different way? I think most of
the participants would have
been willing to change their
names if asked to do so.”
Also, Hlsik elected their first
powder puff king. The winning
king, Robert Raney said, I'm
glad that people at this school
would pay for votes to elect me.”
Senior Sponsor Mrs. Harris
explained, The purpose of
having a king was to generate
interest in the game and to help
the Senior Class raise more
money.”
The game's outstanding
player. Senior Jolanda Jones,
made a 76 yard touchdown run
on a kickoff return, the longest
in powder puff history.
Although the final score
ended up 48-24, the junior team
took the defeat well. Junior
Coach Rusty Skinner summed
up the team's feelings, I feel
sorry for the juniors next
year.”

I think it's great if you know

Kirk Calhert on the subject of
dancing. The Winter Wonder-
land Dance proved to be a huge
success in comparison to dances
of the past.
This was the most successful
dance money-wise we've ever
had, said Revellier Sponsor
Mrs. Martin. The photographer
was good, there were lots of
people and the music was
energetic.
Though 15 days shy of
Christmas, the holiday spirit
prevailed. Red and green lights
strung through the trees, tinsel
and streamers hung everywhere
to bring Christmas to Elsik's
South Cafeteria on December
10th. Although the other
decorations were predominant.
the most looked for decoration
was of course, the mistletoe.
The highlight of the evening
transpired with the an-
nouncement of the Christmas
Court. Seniors Penny Ve .os and
Trevor Dodd received the honor
of being selected King and
Queen. The Junior Court con-
sisted of Nora Wilkerson and
Tim Moore, while Sophomores
Jemmina Beltran and Dale
Smith took the honors for their
class.

Elsik Ready For Changes . . . Perot
Three Million Secondary
School Children Are Victims of
Crime Each Month, Van-
dalism Mainly in Textbooks,
Reagan Tries To Solve
Problems Of Discipline In
Schools; all newspaper
headlines and all the negative
aspects of education. Yet,
students and administrators
have also focused on the
positive points c( people, rather
than just academics and media
criticism. Students' opinions
mattered, and those with
problems of coping with
everyday classroom situations
received help.
A1 Hook, the new super-
intendent of schools, initiated
the Student Advisory Board
Council. The first meeting on
February 2 brought 12 students
from Elsik and Hastings
together to discuss the major
concerns and problems of the
high schools. At the top of the
list, traffic, parking, and the
security of vehicles. Because
High Star and the parking lots
were no longer able to
accommodate school traffic, two
solutions arose at the meeting:
(1) limiting student drivers to
juniors and seniors and (2) a
security program furnished by
the sale and issuance of parking
stickers. Student smoking, dress
codes, and final exemptions also
took priority over alternate
concerns. Patroling the bath-
rooms, lengthening mini skirts
and final exams as learning
experiences were just a few
answers. The original council
met the first Thursday of each
month and consisted of NHS
President Tim Culbertson,
Student Congress President Pat
Regan, Senior Class President
Michelle Espinosa, Rampage
staffer Audra Sanchez,
Ramblings Editor Misty Bogle,
and Photographer Randy Law.
The Hastings delegation con-
sisted of Denise Wyant, Janice
Reeves, David MacDonald,
Sally Dejean, Karin Brown, and
Art Aguirre.
Another spotlighted program
forstudents is the ISC. Although
the ISC program was created in
1976, only since '82, when Mrs.
Brown took over as principal
were these beach houses viewed
as positive opportunities for
troubled students. Basically
what we try to do here is help
students make changes by
learning alternate ways of
coping with a situation. This is
done through counseling and a
leveled behavior management
system, explained Principal
Brown. Students are put into a
tightly structured plan. The
rules here are the same as in
regular school, but are more
strict and enforced more. ISC
has been a successful program
because a student is completely
removed from the usual hustle
and bustle of the everyday
classroom and is placed in an
isolated setting until he she can
cope with regular school again.
As Tony Hurtado from Soutnern
Mountain High School stated,
You shouldn't ship disruptive
kids out... for the whole year.
They should be back in the
regular classes as soon .
possible.
The big controversy co:
cerning changes and in
provements in Texas publ
schools was the creation of tl
Select Committee on Publ
Education chaired by Dali,
businessman H. Ross Perc
The committee recommendc
lengthening the school d
consisting of six hours «

Seniors Share Their Last
Dance Together May 5
Prom wasa very special time.
It will always be a part of my
memories to look back on,
commented Senior Dana Beebe.
The Adams Mark Hotel, in the
Grand Ball Room on May 5,
catered to this glamorous event,
to a group of approximately 640.
Seeing and dancing with all of
my friends was great, said
Senior Darlene Reidenbach.
The decorations for each table
consisted of top-hats with
helium balloons attached, name
cards, garders, and programs.
Various types of music such as
country, new wave, disco, and
rock were furnished by the D.J.
from Fantasy Unlimited instead
of the traditional band.
Due to an under-sized dance
floor everyone found difficulty
in being able to move freely.
This was the first year for hors
d'oeuvres instead of a dinner at
the table. The menu consisted of
roast beef, turkey, mushrooms,
chocolate mousse, cheese cake.
and apple strudel. Having a
buffet is better than having a sit
down dinner. It is cheaper,
offers a wider variety of dishes,
and less food is wasted, stated
Senior Kim Eitze.
The 1984 Senior Class was
fantastic during the prom. It
seemed that everyone enjoyed
the music, food, and fun!

Prom Good Times 27Before and After
Festivities Make Prom
Night Complete
Prom wouldn't be complete
without the festivities before
and after, stated Senior Jimmy
Bujnoch. Many weeks were
spent preparing for the prom.
Some girls started months
before hunting for the right
dress. Senior Vicky Wimpy
exclaimed, Having to find a
dress was a lot of trouble because
this year there were not too
many pretty ones and every
store in Houston had the same
thing.
The guys didn't have quite as
much trouble. They just had to
wait to find out the color of their
date's dress. According to Senior
Ricky Farias, Picking up your
tux before prom can be a real
hassle, expecially when you
don't get what you ordered.
I found it very frustrating
having to go back to Tux-N-Tails
thirty minutes before I'm ready
to leave, because they forgot the
button for my shirt, com-
mented Senior Eddie English.
Many couples chose to go out
to eat before prom even though
hors d'oeuvres were available.
Vargo's, Portobello's, The
Carlyle, and Old San Francisco
Steak House were among the
few restaurants chosen.
Before going out to eat several
couples attended a Pre-Prom
Party given by Seniors Stacy
Saenz and Kay Martz.
After prom some of us went
to eat breakfast and then headed
out for the beach, said Senior
Rhonda Brookshire. Some peo-
ple rented beachhouses, hotel
rooms, condo's and some even
slept in their cars or on the
beach.
After prom, at the beach I had
a real nice time. It was fun seeing
all the seniors get together for
one last time and party down,
commented Senior Barbara
Benis.

30 Good Timcs GraduationHigh School Ends and a New Life Begins
Graduation is the end of the
t times of your life, and the
;inning of what could be even
ter, stated Senior Bobby
ith. Commencement exer-
•s were held Friday evening
on May 25th at the Alief
detic Complex. Out of a class
502, approximately 467
ally reached their goal,
aduation.
I've always looked forward
graduation. Now that it is
aally here, it is sort of sad to
good bye to all the good
es I've had here at Elsik,
ealed Senior Dan Holland,
wo very outstanding
dents, Charles Bratka and
hard Husseini shared the
e of valedictorian both
•ing a 4.09 grade point
rage. Carol Curren took the
title of salutatorian with the
grade point average of 4.07. A
mixtureof emotions filled all the
seniors' minds. Some were
happy and glad to get out while
others felt very sad about
leaving the halls of I-lsik. It
feels so good to know that
thirteen years of school are
finally over, said Senior Tina
Chapman.
I feel happy and relieved
about graduating. I never
thought it would happen, but its
finally here and I'm glad,
commented Senior Diana
Franklin.
I really can't believe I'm
finally going to graduate! I have
had so much fun in high school
and I'm sort of glad its over, but
I'm really going to miss all my
friends and all the great times
we had together, remarked
Senior Kelley Luman.
After all the years I've looked
forward to graduating, now the
time is here and I feel reluctant
about it. The idea of leaving all
my friends and having to start
over again bothers me, ex-
pressed Senior Ricky Farias.
Graduation, god what a
relief! After four years of
begging, we've finally made it
and why? Togo toschool for four
to six more years . . . seems
ironic, but oh well, that's life,
stated Senior Todd Herring.
Many plan to continue their
education at college, while
others plan to go straight into
the business world. Texas A M,
Southwest Texas, Stephen F.
Austin, U of H., and The
University of Texas were the
most popular colleges chosen to
attend next fall.
Graduation for me has been
a mixture of emotions. I'm
excited about going away to UT
but, I'm really going to miss
everyone, exclaimed Senior
Beth Gillam.
Seniors Lynne McLaren, Kay
Martzand Sandy Lawrence gave
a bash to close up the end of the
year.
I have enjoyed it. It's been the
very busiest year of my life. It's
enabled me to get to know
seniors on a one to one basis,
exclaimed Senior Sponsor Mrs.

Seniors Unite
To Succeed
What exactly is a senior?
Stephanie Guthrie revealed, A
student who is in their last year
of high school and excited about
going to college. Troy Beardon
explained, A senior is someone
who can boss around under-
classmen.
One can see how special a
senior is through the many
privileges and events that are
given to them each year. The
most important of these events is
the long-awaited Senior Prom.
The Seniors started the year off
with $7,000 in the treasury. They
did an incredible job of raising
$6,000 in just one semester. This
made their total earnings at the
middle of the year, $13,000!
Some of the ways the seniors
earned money so quickly was
selling programs at football
games, sponsoring the Homecom-
ing Dance, selling Powder Puff
ticket and shirts, selling
Christmas ornaments; and sell-
ing those mouth-watering
doughnuts and kolaches every
morning. The senior's goal this
year stands as $18,000; requiring
hard work and effort from the
officers and homeroom repre-
sentatives.
The energy and enthusiasm
by the senior officers and
homeroom representatives must
have paid off. Our earnings
speak for themselves! ex-
claimed Senior Sponsor Gina
Evoritt. Treasurer Donna Boyne
summed it up as she claimed, I
have really enjoyed leading the
seniors this year and 1 know our
prom will be the greatest
ever!

The
Pressure
Maintains
I can't decide between the
University of Houston or A M!
Should I work or go to college my
first year?
Deciding whether to continue
an education or to gain
experience through a job, stands
as a difficult decision for some
students. I was able to choose
A M through many of our
school's resources such as College
Night and various catalogs,
claims Angy Nagy.
The students' scores on their
admission tests also have a large
influence on a senior's decision of
what school he or she will
attend, replied Counselor
Charlene Baker. No matter what
each student decides, hopefully
each will succeed in their own
way!

Stand
Out
At about 10:45 a.m. the first
swarm emerges. These people all
have one thing in common. They
are seniors. For the next hour and
a half they will exercise one of
their favorite senior privileges -
going out to lunch. After waiting
for tnree years, seniors feel they
deserve every privilege they get.
Senior Janna Walker stated, We
should have more privileges. By
not having them, we're not
getting prepared for college as far
as self-discipline is concerned.
The newest privilege lets
seniors have exemptions from
finals second semester. Although
seniors have these privileges,
they still feel underprivileged.
Senior Anne McHugh exclaimed,
There are not enough senior
privileges and they aren't en-
forced strictly enough so that
only seniors can get tnem!

the senior section of the gym on
pep rally mornings. Despite low
attendance from the seniors, the
ones who went tried to make up
for those that did not participate.
Although they tried, the seniors
only won the spirit stick three
times. Senior Jenny Stenniford
declared, Many of the seniors
showed a very apathetic attitude
toward the team.
The seniors that didn't go had
their reasons. Senior Lisa Toreki

At 11:00 p.m. on September 1,
six anonymous senior girls were
on an adventure. As they
approached Lee High School witn
toilet paperand shoe polish ready
at hand, the six sneaky girls
began to wrap the school. The
security guard spotted them and
asked what they were doing. One
falsely replied, “We are Lee
cheerleaders. We are wrapping
the school for “school spirit .
Believing them he walked away
and the next morning every Lee
student looked in awe at their

Along with wrapping Lee, the
seniors wrapped Elsik every

something better than
wonderful.
Graduation - Freedom!!??
Something seniors have been
waiting for the past eleven
years. Time to move on to the
big bad world.
Memories - This book,
graduation, homecomings,
parties, etc. Fun to discuss in
twenty years at the reunion.
Powder Puff - Seniors beat
the juniors in highest scoring
game ever, 48-24. The game
where the girls get rough and
tough and the guys get really
sweet.
Ralph - (Lauren). Many
peoples' inseparable best
friend. The little men with the
mallets have been irresistible
ever since the dawn of The
Preppy Handbook.
SAT - Scholastic Aptitude
Test. Three long, drowsy
hours on a Saturday morning
that determines your future.
Undecided - What most

applications under MAJOR.
Also applies to what some
will be doing after

But there is much more ahead.
As we look into the future.
Tales to tell others. We soon begin to smile.

THE FUTURE - a little phrase
that meansa lot to most seniors.
It begins with graduation. It
symbolizes the end of high
school and the beginning of
your adult life. stated Senior
Jenny Stinneford.
Wnat will I do when I get out
of school? Seniors top choices
to solve the post-graduation
problem quickly became work,
college, or beinga bum . High
school will be nothing but a
fond memory for some, maybe
not so fond for others, but the
amount of academic know-
ledge acquired through their
years of nigh school will stay
with them forever, hopefully.

the work is tiring and Senior

proved to be invaluable. I
learned a lot about writing

Government required stu-

American politics work, not to
mention filling out a voter

included a project that allowed

Mr. and Miss Elsik High School
JENNIFER WEST - I've always tried to get to know and take an
interest in each person I've met at Elsik, was the explanation Jennifer West gave
when she was chosen Miss Elsik High School. Jennifer has been a Revellierall four
years and was Co-Captain her senior year. She was also elected Revellier Sweetheart
her freshman year, and Homecoming Queen her senior year. One thought she would
like to leave to the underclassmen is, Make good grades; you don't realize the
importance of them until you're a senior trying to get into college. Being involved
in many different activities at school, Jennifer has been a great asset.
SAMMY O'BRIENT “ As soon as Sammy heard he had won he
exclaimed, I was proud that my peers thought so much of me. It is no wonder that
he was chosen Mr. Elsik High School in view of his many athletic achievements and
his loyalty toward the Senior Class. Sammy plans to attend Texas A M on a football
scholarship where he will surely be a success. Sammy has been looked up to
respectfully by his classmates for years; a close teammate of his, Mike Montgomery,
compliments him saying, Sammy really addsa lot of motivation toour team. Seeing
all of his achievements only makes us strive for more.
Most Humorous
JENNY STINNEFORD - One senior girl fills the quiet halls of
Elsik with laughter. Senior Jenny Stinneford was chosen as that girl. I didn't think
I would win. explained Jenny. While working at Target, Jenny manages to spend
time at the beach and running track. Jenny replied promptly when asked what
impression she would leave to all underclassmen, I think everyone should learn
to laugh; then the world seems like a better place to live in. After graduation Jenny
plans to attend Southwest Texas State University and head for a successful
future.
KENNY MCDANIEL “ Surfing, jammin' out to Adam Ant,
making people laugh are all traits of Senior Kenny McDaniel. When asked abou
victory, he replied, I really love Elsik and I am glad to represent it in some w
Kenny has been involved in football, track, and the Fellowship of Christian Athl

kick back and take it easy until it's time to 'cruise off to Southwest Texas
University and study.

track, it is no wonder she was honored as Most Athletic. She has participated in state
competition in track for four years. Jolanda's basketball record also stands as an
awesome one to anyone. She has received many awards along with being one of the
top scorers of Houston. Together, these spectacular achievements in these two sports
earned her one of her most memorable awards-the Outstanding High School Athlete
bv the Houston Sportscastersand Sportswriters Association. Following graduation,
I will be trying to make the Olympic Trials, stated Jolanda.
SAMMY O'BRIENT “ Sammy's honored contributions to Flsik’s
track and football teams gave him recognition for being an outstanding athlete.
Football seemed to stand out the most in Sammy's athletic career receiving awards
such as All-District, All-Greater Houston, All-State, and All-American. Attending
A M with a full scholarship, football will continue to be a sure part of Sammy's life.
Sammy has proven his philosophy with his accomplishments, Set goals and
dedicate yourself to achieve them.

also played Powder Puff for two years. Linda has helped her senior class
nendously throughout the year. Helping others and being involved arc all traits
Jnda, the one person who deserves the award.
WAYNE HARRISON - When Sammy first told me I won, I
thought he was joking! exclaimed Wayne once he heard. Wayne's friendly
personality and school spirit undoubtedly shows why he received this award. Wayne
played football for four years along with supporting other teams such as baseball
and girl's basketball. Wayne feels that you don't have to belong to any one group
or clique . Be friends with everyone. He then added, Don't try too hard to make

Juniors Make
Serious
Decisions
It finally hit the Juniors.
Their 11th grade year meant
only two years until they had
to have made a decision
about college and careers.
When 610 11th graders
started feeling pressure
about the future, the work
also got harder. They had to
work harder to get accepted
to the college of their hopes.
Going to college is going to
help you in the long run. If
you study now, it will help
you in college, explained
Leslie Lawless. Peter White
comments, If you don't get
serious now, major colleges
may not accept you. Shelly
Thibodeaux said, I want to
go into business because
there are so many branches
offered. Hopefully, I can
make a career out of playing
basketball, responded l orn
Luce.

Rake It In
Working hard since ninth
grade, the Junior class
earned more money by their
junior year than any other
graduating class. As
Freshmen, they earned
$2,000 on slave sale. As
Sophomores they sold mugs
to earn $4,000. As Juniors
they sold cookies to earn
$3,000. Mrs. Heintschel, the
Junior Class sponsor
explained, As Seniors we
should end up with
$21,000-$22,000 to have the
best prom ever!

Sophomore Spirit
Shakes Pep Rallies
Quiet? Not this year's
sophomore class. What a change
from their freshman year when
they sat back and let everyone
else win thespiritstickatthepep
rallies.
By the second pep rally of the
season, they had taken as Vicki
Lovett and Debbie Belote put it,
the stick twice. Amazing
everyone with their amount of
spirit, the sophomores them-
selves aren't surprised. We do
the best at the pep rallies, that's
why we win! , said Sophomore
Jennifer Burton.
Coming in second place after
the seniors, the sophomores
showed lots of energy and spirit.
Many sophomores looked for-
ward to the weekly rallies with
enthusiasm. Sophomore Broch
Wilson exclaimed They're
really exciting and get you
psyched up for the games!

Karin prepares to do battle.

En Garde is a word associated
with fencing, but not many
people know a lot about it. An
exception to that rule is
Sophomore Karin Roy. Busy
fencing since the age of 14,
Karin now ranks 7th in the
Southwest and has been asked
to participate in the 1984
Olympics. Fencing can be a
dangerous sport, as the world
champion last year was killed.
Much precision is required
because the object of the game is
to make five touches in six
minutes. In order fora director
to tell that a touch has been
made, a small electrical cord is
hooked to the sword. When it
touches the opponent a light
flashes.
Karin has serious thoughts
about her future. I am eligible
for a 4-year scholarship to
Princeton University. But,
she exclaimed, I'm afraid I
might fail if I do go there.
Karin chose to go into fencing
because nobody else does it! I
tell myself to do the best I can
and not be scared.

Ms. Hogshead Leads Teachers and Students
Beryl Hogshead, French
teacher, was chosen president of
the Alief Education Association.
A.E.A. is the local teachers
organization which belongs to
the Texas State Teachers As-
sociation. She has been a
member for seven years and an
active member for three years.
Ms. Hogshead has been
divorced for seven years and has
two grown children. Her
daughter, Elizabeth, graduated
from Texas A M University
and is now teaching the hand-
icapped. She also has a
twenty-one year old son who is
in his junior year at Stephen F.
Austin University.
Besides being actively
involved in A.E.A. and in
teaching. Beryl Hogshead finds
the time to travel extensively.
Her most recent trip was one to
Senegal, Africa. She went the
summer of '82 for one week
to attend a convention for
the American Association of
Teachers of French. During the
summer of '81, she went to the
Negev Desert in Israel to help
excavatea tel (dirt mound) called
Tel Halif. Another exciting trip
was one to Belfort, France
located near Germany. Since Ms.
Hogshead uses French as a
second language, she was
invited to become an exchange
student and spend the summer
in Belfort with a French family.
She believes that, a person who
has not traveled, is just not a
well-educated nor a well-
rounded person.
Being the president of A.E.A.,
Ms. Hogshead has several
responsibilities. She must keep
Alief teachers and the school
board informed of any probU
or news in the teach'
profession. There are mont
meetings which are held
different schools through
Alief. The purpose of th
meetings is to raise the leve
educational concern by gett
teachers and residents
volved, stated Ms. Hogshe
She also said, teachers neec
be actively involved in tl
professional lives in order
raise the level of professional
in teaching.

96 Lcarning Special FeatureShe Has Love and Dedication
laving a job dealing with
h an assortment of pressing
ies with administrators,
rhers, and students, took
teone with dedication and
s for education. Marilyn
mp was hired seven years
when Elsik grew large
ugh to require a full time
endance Clerk. She moved
n the attendance office to
kkeeper and then, to her
rent position, as Mrs.
ling's secretary in the North
House.
Mrs. Crump not only had to
type letters, master schedules,
make copies and other sec-
retarial duties but also guide
students and teachers and
answer their many questions.
She filed an enormous amount
of mail, and kept up with
teachers to make sure that
substitutes were where they
needed to be. Math teacher
Betsy Lancaster said, She's nice
to us. Journalism adviser Karen
Ritter commented, The jour-
nalism department could not
have survived without Mrs.
Crump's help.
Along with this busy
schedule, Mrs. Crump and her
husband LeRoy, AISD Athletic
Director, spent time together in
between each of their busy
schedules. Her oldest daughter
Sheryl was a Sophomore at
Hastings and was active in
volleyball and golf. Her
youngest daughter Carol, who
also played volleyball, attended
Holub Middle School.
As a native Houstonian, Mrs.
Crump majored in Business and
minored in History at Howard
Payne College in Brownwood,
Texas and received her B.S.
Degree in Secretarial Science.
Mrs. Crump really loves her
job and, according to Mrs.
Keeling, does an outstanding
one.

Special Pea ture Learning 97English Strives
for Excellence
Who has the largest
department with as many as 29
staff members? The English
Department does with over half
of these teachers having earned
their Master's degree in English.
This made them very qualified
as they work very hard for long
hours, described Department
Chairperson Kay Moore.
The curriculum consisted of
basically the same elements as
the year before. Freshmen
worked on paragraph writings
and grammar along with
Antigone and Romeo and Juliet.
Sophomores also studied
paragraph writing, mythology.
All Quiet on the Western Front,
Julius Caesar and Animal Farm.
The juniors' multi-paragraph
research papers and American
Literature added to their study
of The Scarlet Letter and
Huckleberry Finn. Seniors'
paragraph writings and research
papers helped them to become
more oriented toward the world
of work, stated Mrs. Moore.
A dramatized version of
Ulysses Return to I theca Aftei
the Trojan War helped Mrs.
Brown's sophomores to ease the
end of the first semester. The
students worked hard, had lots
of fun, and everything was just
great, said Mrs. Brown.
The teachers spent their
summer working on curriculum
to fit the new standards
requiring four years of English
instead of the present three and
a half year requirement.
The English as a Second
Language (ESL) program lead by
Mrs. Burns has really helped
many students of Hispanic,
Vietnamese, and other cultures
to learn despite the fact that they
cannot speak fluent English.
This class is of special im-
portance because the language
and cultural barriers of many
bright students prevent or
hinder them from commu-
nicating their ideas and skills in
English.

The math department sponsored
the math tournament last year,
but not combined with science
which is what they sponsored on
February 25. Two hundred Elsik
students assisted. Math and
Science Club members, pre-
pared the keys, constructed and
proctored the tests, and graded
them with the help of teachers.
The Math Club students did an
outstanding job of organizing
and running the tournament,
complimented math teacher
Linda Lewis.
Two thousand students from
twenty-four high schools and
five middle schools attended the
tournament. Ki.lough Middle
and Bellaire High Schools took
the Sweepstakes awards for
math and science.
It was a lot of work but
worthwhile because the stu-
dents learned a lot from it. The
overall assessment was that it
was an excellent tournament,
commented math department
Chairperson Barbara Pohla.

Science Adopts New
Experiments, NASA
Marine Biology was added to
the curriculum to teach students
the secrets of the sea. I n studying
this course, students learned the
behavior of aqua inhabitants.
Dissecting wasa major part of AP
Biology. Students were assigned
the unusual task of dissecting a
cat. Learning the anatomy of a
cat is required for those students
in Advanced Biology courses in
college, said biology teacher
Sandy Lee.
Physics students went to
NASA December 14 as a
special field trip. This trip was
different because new events
were added to the ordinary
public tours. Students were able
to see the Zero Gravity
Simulator, a lecture on space
suits, a tour of a Space Shuttle,
and a tour of the Skylab. A
special lecture on combining
laser technology, computers,
and robots was included. These
robots were directed through a
range finder and a target locater
to develop robot satellites.
Scientists use these satellites for
communication purposes. The
satellite is 22,000 miles out in
space and the shuttle is not
designed to go out that far.
Because the special tour
items were added to the trip, I
thought the students were more
exhilerated than those of years
before, said physics teacher Jim
Burns.
I thought the Zero Gravity
Room was the most exciting part
of the trip. It was weird seeing
people float around like bal-
loons , said Senior Todd
Herring.
Senior Stan Hyun added, I
thought the trip was fun. The
Space Shuttle was most
interesting to me even though it
was not theactual shuttle used in
space.
All science classes provided
an opportunity to learn through
experimentation as well as
labs.

Irs. Graessle Teaches Seniors With Flair
'caching seniors is not all fun,
ecially during second
tester when Senioritissets in.
da Graessle, Social Studies
artment head, and
rernment economics teacher
?sn't mind these afflicted
iors at all. She admits I went
3 teaching because I really
oy teenagers and I get a real
ck out of helping them
rn. In 13 years of teaching
she has found that seniors will
stay more involved in either
economics or government if the
teacher stays involved in the
learning process.
Ms. Graessle believes that If
students see that I'm enjoying
teaching, then lots of times it
rubs off on them and they really
get involved. In Alief, seniors
are required to have a one
semester Government class and
a one semester Economics
class.
If Ms. Graessle were allowed
to make a change in her courses,
she would like to have a year
long government class. She
claims, In one semester we
really only scratch the surface of
a student's potential in Govern-
ment. Ms. Graessle keeps her
students interest by having a
class simulation of a mock
congress where the class
participates in a meeting of
congress with majority party
leaders, clerks, and speakers of
the house. Her class discussions
are also appreciated by her
students. Senior Linda Cruz
stated, She teaches us on an
adult level and really makes us
understand how the
government works.

Business Expands
Houston has always been a
city associated with low un-
employment rates when com-
pared to those of other cities. As
unemployment rates increased,
the need for a stronger business
background has too. Many of
the surrounding public schools
are now offering a variety of
business courses.
One such course is Ac-
counting. Accounting I teaches
the recording and interpreting
of financial records in any
business. Accounting II deals
with the administration of
partnerships and corporations.
Accounting is a good field to go
into because there is an un-
limited demand for account-
ants , states teacher Sharon
Heintschel.
One elective which teaches
studentsthe fundamental know-
ledge of laws and crimes having
to do with business is Business
Law. It helps the customers to
gain an understanding of their
rights when purchasing goods ,
said Kay Armstrong, depart-
ment chairperson.
To me, typing has been an
important course throughout
high school. Besides learning
the basics, it is a skill that I can
carry on to college , stated
Senior Bridget Pavlik. Record
keeping taught me how to keep
a check book and figure out
income tax returns, explained

Home Economics Helps in the Future
Sewing, Foods, and Home and
Family Living make up the
Home F.conomics Department.
Each of these classes is especially
designed to teach something
about home experience. Home
and Family Living teacher
Debbie Zissman explained, In
Home and Family Living, each
student participates in either a
wedding or an apartment
project. The wedding project
involves planning an entire
wedding from the engagement
party to the reception. For the
apartment project, a student is
required to chose a floor plan of
an apartment and must decorate
it spending a fixed amount of
money.
Projects like these may seem
boring now but Mrs. Zissman
claims, The material may not be
appreciated until later when a
student is looking for a home or
thinking about marriage.

Academic electives include
music, art, drama, speech,
debate, and journalism which all
required many creative skills,
long hours of work and practice,
and individual talents. The
band, directed by Joe Williams
and assisted by Terry Crummel,
competed in many contests
throughout the year. The class as
a whole, competed in several
divisions of U.I.L. They also
performed a Christmas and
Spring Concert. Each day we
rehearse for our next per-
formance and try to play better
than the time before, stated
Director Joe Williams.
The Art Department added
many new activities to their
department. Because we teach
the entire spectrum of fine arts,
we expect our students to have
an interest in art and want to
learn, said Department Head
Claire Hook. Art students
enjoyed many field trips as well
as speakers from the Disney
World Art Department.
Drama students also had a new
teacher this year, Carolyn
Boone. Being both the drama
teacher and director, Ms. Boone
had high expectations of her
students. I expect my students

theatre. I also wish for them to
become involved and appre-
ciative of the theatre at all
levels, said Carolyn Boone. The
students performed Grease,
Antigone, and student One Act
Plays. Each day consists of
rehearsing scenes, make-up
labs, technical theatre, and
improvisations.
The Speech Department was
also led by one teacher, Carolyn
DeLecour who also coached
debate forcnsics. There are five
different speech classes - each a
different course. I try to choose
daily activities that will meet
the requirements while being
interesting to work on at the
same time, stated Carolyn
DeLecour. Students participated
in demonstration speeches and
in-class debates. Students must
also be able to organize their
thoughts and ideas and to orally
verbalize them.
Journalism classes also
greeted a new teacher, Karen
Ritter. Reporting classes pre-
pared students for advance
work in yearbook and
newspaper. The Rampage only
had eight reporters while the
yearbook consisted of twelve
staff members and five
photographers. I wish more
students would get involved in
journalism. They can improve
their writing skills, leadership,
organization, self-confidence,
and their ability to interact with
many different types of people.
I have very high expectations
for my students. Accuracy and
punctuality is so very important
in this field; 1 stress it from the
start! stated Karen Ritter. The

Cultures Home
The Foreign Language
Department brought students
closer to the culturally diverse
world. The students were able to
discover the true concept behind
taking this type of class as well
as fulfill college requirements.
Classes have proven not only to
be good for practice in speaking
a desired language but also to
study the cultures that go along
with it.
The French classes were able
to see Candide by Voltaire
performed at Jones Hall. The
students also performed many of
their own skits. They will also be
competing in the National
French Contest with an entry for
all levels.
Spanish classes attended Man
of La Mancha at the Music Hall
and Ballet Fulflorico at Jones
Hall. The majorobjective in any
foreign language class is to
increase the student's ability to
communicate in a given
language, said teacher Carolyn
Mendel.
German classes wrote and
performed many skits
throughout the year. Such skits
included Charlie Brown, Star
Wars, and Airplane III. The
students also developed skills in
communication by reading
major works. Latin students
learned their language by
performing skits and speaking
the language. All the foreign
language clubs gathered
together for their banquet in
May.

others have done for me
Coach Leonard Fawcett's
achievement packed career
proves him to be an extremely
talented man. Born in
Cleveland, Ohio, Fawcett
moved to Texas when he was
five years old. He started his
track career as a seventh grader
at Hogg Junior High School.
Being a star athlete in high
school, he held nine school
records, a Southwest Confer-
ence record, placed fourth in a
national handball champion-
ship and was coached by a
former Olympic coach. During
his junior year at Reagan High
School, Fawcett played bas-
ketball and despite a handicap,
he went out for football.
When Leonard Fawcett was
just three years old he had to
have his arm amputated just
below the elbow as a result of an
unfortunate accident. He got his
arm caught in a clothes wringer.
But in no way did this incident
impair Fawcett's abilities and
motivations. It inspired him to
strive even more to reach his
goals - and that he did.
Throughout high school, he
set seven broad jump (as it was
called then) records at various
track meets. Three of those
records stood for 13 years.
Fawcett received a four year
track scholarship to Rice
University. All of these honors
contributed to his decision to
teach. In addition to coaching
track and football, he assists the
cross-country team and teaches
physical education. Coach Faw-
cett sums it up by commenting,
I think that I am dedicated
enough and willing to sacrifice
my time and knowledge and
share them with our athletes.

Printing Arts Added to Curriculum
If you are 16 years old and
have your counselor's approval,
you are eligible to join any
course offered in Vocational
Education. Counselor John Hall
explained Vocational Education
as providing exploratory ac-
tivitiesand learning experiences
that contribute to the de-
velopment of work and work
related responsibilities.
There are several work pro-
grams to choose from. Dis-
tributive Education was created
for students who are interested
in wholesaling and service
selling jobs. The course counts
as an elective credit and each
student must work at least 15
hours a week. Vice President
Senior Joe Rosa has really
enjoyed the past years in DECA.
He claims, it has really taught
me a lot about responsibility and
the working world.
For those students who are
interested in the more advanced
scientific vocations, there is a
new course called Vocational
Printing. Teacher Henry
Livingston explained Printing
is a very open field with a lot of
opportunities in the outside
world. Running a printing
press isn't the only skill learr
in this class. Layout and desij
composition, paper cuttii
typesetting and photograp
and enlarging are just a few
the studies offered. In its fi
year. Vocational Printing I
contributed many services to I

Freshman Success
A required course for
freshmen. Study Skills, helps
the student become more self-
directed and self-sufficient in
classroom and intellectual ac-
tivities, commented Study
Skills Department Head Dr.
David Knickel.
Although the class was
designed to help freshmen with
their study habits, there were
many differing views on the
class. Some students felt that it
helped them while others
thought it a waste of their time.
Sophomore Michelle Williams,
who had the class as a freshman,
said, It was okay but I already
knew everything. Sophomore
Todd Lavergne felt that, It was
boring but it helped me with my
study habits.
Study Skills teacher Lynn
Taylor commented that al-
though at the time they took the
class some students felt it was a
waste of time, I've seen and
heard from other teachers that
as the students go through high
school they realize how impor-
tant Study Skills was to them.

Wasn't it great to have
someone care about you when
you didn't feel so well? Becky
Kuithe, Betsy Taylor, and
Marjorie Avery are the ladies
who cared for students during
the flu epidemic in February.
Whenever there was an ache in
your stomach, head, or leg, the
first place to turn to was the
clinic. The biggest challenge 1
have faced at Elsik is trying to
get everybody tested for vision
and hearing 'cause it's really im-
portant to me that people hear
what is said to them and can see
what's in front of them, said
School Nurse Becky Kuithe.
It gives me a great feeling of
satisfaction knowing that no
matter how small my help might
be-that someone will appreciate
it! explained Betsy Taylor,

students when they need you is
what helping others is all

If you ever have a problem,
school-related or personal, you
can be sure a counselor will try
to help out. Ginger Jones, South
house counselor, states that her
goal is to find a solution to
changing student attitudes and
also to get them to pass their
classes.
Although Ms. Jones admits
that she has been confronted
with some problems she felt
were difficult for her to handle,
she comments, I wish more
students would come in for
advice. I can't always provide a
solution but I'm always here to
talk. Included in the counselors
many responsibilities arc sched-
uling classes, providing advice
for parents, teachers, and
students, monitoring all college
preparatory tests (TAP, TABS,
SAT, and PSAT), guiding new
students, and preparing credit
summaries. Ms. Jones states that
she likes her job because the
atmosphere is very relaxed;
counselor's opinions are lis-
tened to and we have the
freedom to say what we think
will be helpful.

presentations which were as
good as others.
Other activities included

Students interested in engi-

careers found the Junior
Engineering Technological
Society to be a good
introduction to any engineering
fields, exclaimed Tracy
Kagan.
JliTS attended several
competitions this year. Among
them was the State JETS
Tournament at Texas A M on
March 9, in which Long Nguyen
took second place in
mathematics. They also par-
ticipated in the tournament at
Klein High School and the

Science Club member
Devinder Panesar replied,
In Science Club I learned
more about science in an
informal way. Also, it is an
educational experience with
great opportunties.
The majority of students
don't understand how
Physical Science and Biology
can help a student in the
future. Some students simply
hate Science. Well, there is a
group of teenagers right here
at Elsik who feel differently
and they are in the Science
Club.
Science Club started off
their year with the Bellaire
High School Math Science
Tournament. In October, they
sold Halloween Treats. The
club also participated in the
tournament at the High
School of Health Professions.
For the first time, Elsik
sponsored their Math Sci-
ence Tournament in which
25 High Schools and five
Middle Schools participated.
Each student entering a
contest must take a test in
different fields of science or
math and the student with the
highest score wins , said
sponsor Ms. Cann.
President Richard Husseini
commented, In the past, the
things we did in Science Club
were not significant, but this
year has been the best. We
have more members doing
more things that deals with
science such as tournaments
and field trips .
Being in the Science Club
is hard work because there is
practicing for tournaments
after school. Science Club is
not like having an extra
science class, it is more fun
and challenging, says Vice-
President Carol Curren.

The further I go in math, the
better I will be at my career,
revealed Sophomore Dennis
Weimer.
I joined Math Club because I
enjoy math and the competition.
It's a fun and exhilerating
experience, said Freshman
David Tsai.
Computers allow students to
develop their creativity and
have often rekindled the
uninterested student's imag-
ination, commented Computer
Club Sponsor Mrs. Lewis.
Computer programming de-
mands thinking in logical ways,
step by step, until the pattern is
complete. Such logical thinking
carries over into school work
and study skills. Computer
programming also requires
patience. Once patience is
developed it can help with
studying and learning in school.
The Computer Club helps
familiarize students with the
computer systems and available
software such as Apple-Writer
and Visi-Calc.
The Computer Club attended
some Math tournaments which
gave computer tests. At the
Westbury tournament, Steven
Tsai placed 3rd, Vivek Pai 5th,
and Dennis Weimer 7th in the
computer test.
Computers are an interest to
me because they can store and
generate great qualities of
information. I feel that this great
access to information will
increase my knowledge and

For the first time, Elsik had a
Christmas Faculty Choir. Also,
Chorale students participated in
the Fall play Grease. An
outstanding choir student,
George Harrison, was able to
project his talent in order to
achieve his goal in making
All-State Choir. The contests
entered included Solo and
Ensemble, competing in UIL for
concert and sight reading
contests, and a trip to All-State
in Ft. Worth. Solo and Ensemble
achievements included thirty,
1st Division metals.
There were about 131
students in choir this year to
enjoy and share their musical
talents, says choir sponsor,
Mrs. Ness. Meetings before and
after school allowed them to
continue learning music and
winning awards.

Antigone Wins Alternate to State
Thirty Drama Club members
started off with a new theatre
arts teacher, Carolyn Boone.
With her help and support, in
November the Drama Club
performed their winter play
Grease, followed by a cast party
at Sophomore Chris Lundquist's
house. Grease was the kind of
show people wanted to see,
because it related directly to the
audience, Chris Lundquist
explains. Then they had another
presentation in the spring,
Antigone. Senior Brian Rives
exclaims, Antigone brought us
all closer together. Vice Pres-
ident Susie Gatien said, I
believe it has made everyone in
the cast appreciate the moments
of humanity.
General after school meetings
were held to discuss produ-
ctions, upcoming events, and
fund raising for scholarships
and the banquet. Drama allows
me to understand people and
their emotions that I would not
otherwise be able to relate to,
revealed Junior Chris Everett.
With lots of hard work drama
students went on to regionals in
the One-Act Play contest at San
Jacinto Junior College for U.I.L.
competition. Their efforts were
rewarded by winning fourth
place, alternate to state. Five
thespians were honored by
lettering in drama also.

Drama Participation 143Main Events Enjoys
Mame, Sherlock Holmes,
and More
Without the Main Events
Club 1 would not attend any
type of plays ' said Main Events
President Shawn Knight.
Main Events Club exposes
high school students to the fine
arts of music, theater, ballet and
opera in the Houston area.
Without Main Events Club
many students would spend
their time watching T.V. and
listening to the radio instead of
attending a live performance
every now and then, explained
sponsor, Mrs. Beryl Hogshead.
Main Events started their
activities off with Enter
Laughing at Theater Southwest,
The 1940 Radio Hour at The
University of Houston-
Whortham Theater, A Little
Night Music and Mame at The
Theater Under the Stars. Also,
they attended The Adventures
of the Speckled Band . . .
Sherlock Holmes at The
Chocolate Bayou Theater.
Next year Main Events will be
limited to one field trip per
semester. It is to be held in the
Houston area on weekends or
other times when there is no
school. This rule was made
because the Board of Education
feels that many school students
are in too many extra-curricular
activities.
In my view, it seems that the
administrators are putting any
athletic sport above something
as educational as Main Events,
said Mrs. Hogshead.
Club member, Lora Holsopple
comments, It's a shame Main
Events is allowed only two trips
a year because the majority of the
students here don't have the
chance to see any type of plays
and in Main Events one gets to
visit a majority of the dramas that
come to the Houston area.

which turned into failures or successes. It was the dreaded year
- 1984. The number of single parent families was on the rise
while teenage suicide rates continued to climb. It was a
controversial year for schools filled with educational issues. But
the yeai was also filled with fun. There were new fads and
fashions, teen nightclubs and breakdancing.
The concept of the Rambler Mini Magazine was formed in

Single Parent Families Rambler 151Asians Achieve
Parents Demand Excellence
Seniors jasmin Ilanga and Vu Tran listen closely to instructions during tl
British Literature class. Photo by R. I
Increasingly, Asian stu-
dents are able to
out-perform American
students in the U.S. on a
basis of art and intellect in
science and math. Since
the immigration of Asians
to the U.S. has increased
greatly, many worried
American educators and
parents look enviously to
the East.
Dr. Harold Stevenson, a
professor of child psy-
chology at the University
of Michigan, says that in a
competative world such as
ours, we have a right to be
worried. The average high
school graduate in China
and Japan has a much
better understanding of
physics and math than
his American counterpart.
Stevenson says this affects
the quality of the product
each produces. The Chin-
ese or Japanese worker is
more likely to understand
the need for precision and
will strive to accomplish
excellence more often than
the American worker.
Across the U.S., school
officials see Asian-Amer-
icans topping honor rolls
of some of the country's
highly regarded schools.
The same is true for Alief.
Nevertheless, achieve-
ment can be a source of
pain as well as pride to
Asian-American students.
Unlike their admirers,
these students seldom take
their success for granted.
There is a heavy sense
of obligation not to
do anything that is
embarrassing to the
family. This is called
face. Even students of
average ability attempt to
over achieve at all costs.
According to Senior Don
Quach who came from
Vietnam nine years ago,
there is an incentive to do
extremely well in Vietnam
schools. You can really feel
the pressure; a parental as
well as community pres-
sure. Parental expecta-
tions can be a mixed
blessing. They set such
high standards that some
children fall apart if they
cannot maintain an A-
average. Such single-
mindedness can cause
social problems for these
young people trying to
adjust to a new culture.
The high motivation
Asians share with other
immigrants is the drive to
establish themselves, once
they reach the U.S. Many
An increasing percent of our students are

out-performing Americans.
parents ot these students
do not have money or
property. The only thing
they can give their
children is the best
available opportunity to
achieve their potential-
education. The in-
ternational language of
math and science also
allows children still strug-
gling with English to
achieve in those field
faster. Parents often tend
to nudge their children
into careers that seem to
have no political context
because of the painful and
frightening memories of
social activism in their
native countries.
The U.S. still believes
that education is the path
to attainment, but citizens
are unwilling to pay more
taxes or to upgrade the
educational profession.
American teachers receive
far less respect than Asian.
Americans tend to cat-
egorize certain children at
a very young age as having
ability levels or handicaps.
According to Stevenson,
there is no educational
advantage to segregating
children by their academic
skills. When a child starts
making mistakes in the
U.S., many educators
deduce failure. In Japan,
errors are regarded as one
of the best learning tools.
In many student si-
tuations, there is no parent
supervision, support, or
real belief in homework,
and a lack of parent
teacher communication.
As one of Elsik's teachers
questioned, How can we
conduct class when half
the students do not do
their homework? This is
the responsibility of the
parent and the student. In
Japan and China, children
take message booklets
back and forth to home
and school. The school day
is longer, and the week is
five and a half days, but
teaching time is the same.
Teachers and students also
have more breaks.
In higher education, the
U.S. still excels, but only
for the cream of the crop.

Rewarding, Fun, Worthwhile
The suicide rate among
teenage Americans has
tripled in the last twenty
years. Suicide is the third
leading cause of death
among our nations's youth.
The five to ten thousand
teenage deaths annually
signal a problem of epi-
demic proportions.
These were just a few of
the terrifying statements
printed by the papers. The
Houston Post published
true-life accounts of sui-
cidal teens throughout the
year. This story was one of
the more powerful ones.
Beth (not her real name)
looks like a modern day
Cinderella, with long
blond hair, expressive
eyes, and a slim 14 year old
figure. But today, she
sounds like a very old
woman. Beth is a resident
of West Oaks Hospital. She
takes a seat in the
hospital's conference
room and tells her story in
hopes that somebody
somewhere might learn
something about teenage
suicide.
She begins timidly.
When she was little, she
says, her father used to
drink, and beat up her
mother. It always went
on, before I was even
born. Along with Beth
and her parents lived her
mother's six brothers and
sisters. My mom wasn't
really available for me. I
felt forgotten about.
When Beth was six, her
parents separated, and she
and her mother wound up
in a shelter for battered
women. About a month
after the split, her mother
moved in with a new
boyfriend. I liked him,
Beth says, but I resented
him for taking my dad's
place. Within the year,
Beth's mom was married
and pregnant.
She used to call me her
best friend, Beth re-
members. My mom was a
weak person. I took the
attitude that I had to be
strong. Beth pauses to
think. That's probably
when my problems
started. I was acting so

lieved him over me. And
I felt betrayed. I couldn't

much that hurt my
feelings. So she expressed
herself in other ways. On
different occasions she
drank fingernail polish

wrists, and once she broke
pencil lead into the wound.
I couldn't say how hurt I

felt so (the suicide at-
tempts) were my way to
show it.
Once Beth and a friend
( I don't know why I call
her a friend ) ate glass
together. At the time I
thought I would be better
off dead.
Beth was shifted from
child welfare facilities to
hospitals and psychiatric
units back to child welfare.
When she was twelve,
almost thirteen, she began
experimenting with drugs.
She started dating, and she
engaged in sexual re-
lationships, just to get
back at Mom. She injected
fingernail polish into her
veins, in addition to drink-
ing the stuff. That, finally,
was the act that landed her
in West Oaks twenty
months ago.
It took me a long time to
open up once I got here,
Beth says. But eventually
I did. For the first time in
my life I expressed anger.
Beth hasn't forgotten her
past, and occasionally she
still has problems coping.
But now, I can talk about
it. I used to feel alone and
not cared about, but there
are people now to listen.
Therapy has helped me
tremendously. Tears well
up in Beth's eyes, then she
laughsself-consciously. It
makes me sad to think how
I used to be.
When asked, Beth offers
some advise to parents
with troubled kids. Listen
to them instead of yelling
at them; try to find out
what the problem is. Show
them you care. If all else
fails, get psychiatric help.
Any advice to depressed
teens? Open up, and share
your feelings with others.
Talk - somebody else will
understand.
You know, I used to
pretend I was too big to cry,
now I cry all the time. Now
when I'm upset, everybody
knows it.
Stress, family problems,
and insecure feelings
about oneself have always
been related to suicide.
Several Elsik students have
been treated; many for
attempted suicide. The
recently built Belle Park
Hospital has had positive
results as a housing and
theraputic center.
Senior stress has also
been a major issue. One
senior related her feelings;
The thing is, as quickly as
it comes across my mind,
(suicide), I realize it is
really a stupid thing - it's
like a cop out. I know that
my problems I'm dealing
with, whether they arise
from school or home, may
not seem bad to others, but
for me they are traumatic.
This has probably been my
highest pressure year. It's
the year you want to make
your mark on the school, so
people will remember you.
But sometimes suicide
looks like the only way out:
away from the nagging
parents, teachers, and the
whole world in general. As
bad as things seem now, if
this is the worst my life
ever gets. I'll be a lucky
person. If lean kick my way
through this, I can do
anything.

It's the
Hottest
Dance
Craze
Rapidly contorting all
parts of the body to an
exploding electronic beat
blasting from a jambox is
the new dance craze
called breakdancing. This
unique way of dancing
caught on like fire
throughout the nation.
The first question that
most people seemed to ask
was: Where did these
kids who are doing all
these weird and in-
credible movements learn
to dance like that? Well,
breakdancing originated
with the superstar James
Brown, and the dance was
the 'Good Foot'. The
Hustle was the big dance
style of the day. But when
he performed his hit Get
on the Good Foot, he
did a high energy,
acrobatic-like dance that
was appropriately known
as the Good Foot. Soon
dance battles became a
tradition in places like
Harlem World on 116th
Street. It appealed to
young men who were very
athletic and was an outlet
that replaced fighting.
Micheal Jackson, Shields
and Yarnell, and Jeffrey
Daniels were some other
contributors to the dif-
ferent styles of break-
dancing. So at the end of
1983 and early 1984, for
reasons unknown, after
having been around for
years, breakdancing be-
came a dance craze.
Breakdancing was be-
ing used in many videos,
influenced professional
dancers, and movies were
being made, such as
Breakin. Many people
came to believe that this
style of dance really got
popular after the movie
Flashdance.
Breakdance battles
played an important part
in it's development. Most
breakdancers have a
perfection - the step they
do best, but this is not
shown unless necessary to
win.
While any music witl
funky beat is good f
breakdancing, tradition
ly, breakdancing is asso
ed with rapping. In 1981
new instrument was i
vented: the beat box,

music was called H

be African, jazz, roc

Wendy. Although the

Wendy was asked if music
was going to be a part of her
profession, she replied,
Definitely, and I plan to
get more successful by
trying out with more
professional groups.
Wendy likes to spend a

says Wendy. And if

Wendy got involved
with the group after call-

looking for because of the

A Game
That Dates
Back
To 500 A.D.
This year we really have a
group of kids who love chess
because almost every other
Saturday the kids leave around 8
a.m. to a tournament and return
at 6 p.m. They are really a group
of enthused players! Sponsor
Jim Burns explained.
Chess already achieved many
goals such as 1st and 2nd at
the MacArthur High School
Tournament and 3rd placeat the
Klein High School Tournament
overall out of 15 schools.
President Paresh Patel said I
joined Chess Club because it
gives me something that I like to
do all the time since chess has
always been my hobby.

Chess Club Participation 161Spirit and Enthusiasm
Begin Here
I'm very proud of this group
of girls. They really put forth a
lot of effort to make this a good
squad, revealed Mrs.
Oberthier, the cheerleader
sponsor.
During the summer the girls
worked to get ready for camp
and toward theirgoal - to win the
Award of Excellence. Cheer-
leading camp, held the first
week in August at Sam Houston
State University, presents a new
challenge every year. Here the
girls concentrated on learning
new cheers, chants, pyramids,
and many new ideas. Each day
Elsik, along with 100 other
squads, competed with five
other squads for the best squad
at camp. Elsik won runner-up.
The cheerleaders competed in
the Joske's Competition and
were chosen as one of the top ten
squads in the Houston and
surrounding area. They also
attended the Kingwood Varsity
Competition and were awarded
first place. This is the best squad
Elsik High has ever had or seen
in my estimation, said Mrs.
Oberthier.
The only sophomore on the
squad, Lisa Schultz, describes
At first, I didn't know if I would
fit in with the squad and I was
always quiet and just trying to be
like them. But now I am myself
and I have a lot of fun! I feel very
lucky to be on the squad.
I love cheerleading, and I
would be lost without it! said
Junior Julie Johnson. The
cheerleaders not only supported
football and basketball, but also
cross country, girls sports, and
other school organizations.

Chccrlcadcrs Participation 163Long Hard Practices
Pay Off For Revies
Ribbons, Spirit Sticks, and More . . .
We had stronger team unity
than last year, revealed
Revellier Sponsor Cynthia
Martin.
During the summer the
officers Colleen Bridges, Kim
Ihle, Mitzi McDowell, Kim
Rathgeber, Wendy Rousseau,
Tracie Rutherford, Penny Vezos,
and Jennifer West spend many
hours preparing for camp. While
at Drill Team Camp the last week
of July at the University of
Houston, the officers won all
possible awards. They won the
spirit stick, first place ribbons,
most spirited, overall camp
Sweepstakes Home Routine,
and drill down for the whole
camp. They were also chosen as
Honor Drill Team at the
Foleys Thanksgiving Day
Parade.
I've enjoyed being a senior
officer a lot. I've never felt I was
wasting my time because when
we performed it made all the
work worthwhile, commented
Senior Penny Vezos. It's been
lots of fun and I've made many
memories and many friends.
After the officers returned
from camp. Miss Drill Team
U.S.A. came and spent a week
teaching the girls proper ways of
stretching and a dance to the
theme song from the movie
Staying Alive.
Since I have been a Revellier,
I have learned to be very
disciplined, and I have also
learned to budget what little
time I have in such a busy
schedule, said Lieutenant
Tracie Rutherford.
Numerous hours were spent
practicing for camp, compe-
tition, football, and basketball
games. During the summer,
practices were held from 9 a.m.
to 3 p.m., and during school
they practiced from 1:30 to 5
p.m. everyday.
All four years of practice
have been really tough but like
they always say, 'Practice makes
perfect'. Even though I may goof
around and not want to practice
somedays, I think all of it was
well worth it and the outcome of
it all was usually terrific, said
Senior Kelly Luman.
We are going to a new
competition in San Antonio. We
will be competiting with very
strong drill teams all over Texas
and we should be very
competitive, stated Mrs.
Martin.
I enjoy Revelliers because I
like to dance and it's a good way
to support the school. It offers a
great opportunity to meet new
people and work as a group. It is
a lot of hard work and takes a lot
of time but it is all worth it!
exclaimed Sophomore Lori
Rogers.

Nominated
for Super
Star Girl
Revies is my life, said
Co-Captain Jennifer West. Jen-
nifer has participated in Revel-
liers since she was a freshman.
When I was a sophomore, I
was scared the seniors would
look down on me because I was
an officer. I found it hard to tell
them what to do, commented
Jennifer.
Jennifer achieved many in-
dividual goals such as the
nominee for Super Star Girl at
camp. She also won first place in
Imperial Miss in 1982, a finalist
for Miss Coed in July, and she
was crowned Homecoming
Queen.
Jennifer was born in Corpus
Christi and moved to Houston at
the age of three. Jennifer's main
hobby, dancing, takes up most of
her spare time, but she also
enjoys modeling and playing
the piano.
Jennifer plans to move to
Dallas, and try out for the Dallas
Cowboy Cheerleaders. She also
will attend Bauder Fashion
College and become a fashion
coordinator while getting in-
volved in modeling.
Jennifer may leave Elsik
behind but she'll take the
respect and support that she

Mitzi Wins Trips to
Hawaii and Ireland
I think it's an honor to be
chosen as a Revie, said
Lieutenant Mitzi McDowell.
Mitzi became a Revellier as a
sophomore. At the end of her
sophomore year she tried out for
officer and was chosen as one of
the six lieutenants.
I love to dance and get out in
front of a lot of people and
perform, commented Mitzi.
As an officer, Mitzi has to cope
with several difficult matters. 1
have no time for school work
and I end up staying up late
every night to complete it. I also
found it hard to discipline my
friends on my squad.
Mitzi achieved many indi-
vidual awards such as a radio
commercial Addy Award. She
was also chosen as one of the six
SuperStar Girls at camp. To win
the Super Star Girl Award, she
performed a dance learned at the
beginning of the week in front
of a panel of judges. By winning
the award, she won the op-
portunity to go to Hawaii and
Ireland to compete in more
contests.
Mitzi participates in several
other outside activities such as
the National Honor Society,
Spanish Club, modeling, acting,
and babysitting.
Mitzi plans to go on to college
and become a pediatrician. She
really appreciates the love
everyone has for each other and
the strong unity, of the
Revelliers. By Sandy Lawrence

Practices
Pay Off at
U.I.L. Band
Contest
The band is a very close knit
group and has worked very hard
this year to earn the highest
ratings they can, revealed
Director joe Williams.
Marching band began its
season two weeks before school
starting with practices for at
least four hours a day in the
north parking lot. Drawn on the
pavement, an outline of the
football field helped with
spacing and perfecting their
routines.
After school practice takes
time away from other things,
but for the most of it, it was
worth it. All of our practice
showed when we performed at
halftime, and especially this
year at the U.I.L. Marching
Contest when we got a first
division rating, commented
Senior Traci McCullah.
Band members won many
group and individual awards.
The entire band received a first
division rating at Marching
Contest and 67 individuals won
medals at U.I.L. Solo and
Ensemble Contest. Freshman
Bart O'Conner was chosen for
area band and first chair
trumpet in Region Band. Juniors
Laura Richardson, Jay Granth-
am, David Ragsdale and Senior
Richard Husseini were also
chosen for Region Band. The
band also entered U.I.L. Concert
and Sight-Reading and South-
west Band Festival contests.
I like traveling to places with
the band like Dallas, Galveston
and other schools for
competition. During football
season it is so much fun. That is
what 1 like most about being in
the band, said Sophomore Jill
The Flag Corps concentrate on their routine while they march in the annual Alief Autumn Festival Parade.

Owen.
Being in rifles was as extra
chance to learn something new.
It had its privileges but there
were also draw backs, stated
Senior Deidra Chema.
Four rifles and fifteen flags
make up the color guard and
auxiliary units in the band.
Usually they frame the total
picture on the field, but at times,
they become the center of
attention.
The group also attended a
summer camp with the drum
major for one week. Each day
basic fundamentals, new moves,
and routines are learned. This
totaled up to about fifty hours of
work.
I joined the flag corps in
or der to learn a new ability and
felt that the flags would add a
new dimension to our band,
explained Senior Susan House.
In the first part of marching
season, the guard worked up
two or three numbers for each
show, changing each couple of
weeks. Each drill was made up,
taught, changed, rechanged,
and perfected as much as
possible.
Each year the band receives
financial support from the
parent band booster club.
During the school year,
several fund-raising events such
as pizza sales and a chili supper
are held to raise finances for
those band activities which are
not funded by the school
district. Parents also serve as
chaperones whenever the band
travels to away games or
contests and provide assista
whenever possible to the b
directors, stated Presid
Sandy Blacksher.
Officers were Presidents 1
and Sandy Blacksher, V
Presidents Chuck and
Mulford, Secretaries Ralf .
Carleen Brehm, and Ways .
Means Chairmen Paul and Ir
Zermeno.
Our goals in the band for
senior year are to perform to
best of our ability. After mak
straight l's in U.I.L. March
Contest this year, we know t
we have the capability to ful
our goal, Juniors Kathy b
son, Rachel Hardaway and
Grantham agreed.

And Good
Sportsmanship
Hand-In-Hand
Making friends and lots of
contact with other schools in
District 17-5A, helped to
promote the good sports-
manship for Elsik. Senior Jim
Woodfin explains, Sports is
more than just playing the
game, it's meeting and becom-
ing involved with the people
you play against. It is something
that I was very proud to be a part
of.
Over 1000 students from all
eight schools were involved in
the annual District Dance in
December. It was GSL's only
fundraiser. Four to five students
represented each school. Meet-
ings were held at one of the
participating schools, three
times yearly. At the meetings,
we discussed procedures for
pre-game activities, planned the
district dance, and discussed
ways to promote good
sportsmanship, says sponsor,
Mrs. Thornton.

Ramrods Give
Athletes A Boost
Approximately one-hundred
family members were involved
in Ramrods to support the Elsik
athletes. Ramrods helped with
scholarships, fund-raising, run-
ning concession stands, and
putting together two banquets.
A watermelon social
kicked-off the beginning of the
football season. By acknowl-
edging coaches and players of
all sports, and introducing them
to the parents on Parent Night,
they aided in the establishment
of strong parent involvement.
The family members raised
money for the Football Banquet,
Spring Banquet, cheerleaders,
training room, equipment, and
any scholarships that weren't
purchased by the school.
The Bar-B-Que with the
Spring Game, and the Football
Banquet, were new activities
that the Ramrods organized.

NFL at Tournaments
The National Forensics
League (NFL) promotes the
interests of interscholastic
debate, oratory, and public
speaking by encouraging a spirit
of fellowship and conferring
upon deserving candidates a
worthy badge of distinction,
said sponsor Mrs. DeLecour.
Their year started off with
days of practicing which takes a
lot of time and hard work.
During football season they
helped in stadium clean-up.
They participated in the Middle
School Speech Festival, which is
a speech tournament put on by
the middle school students and
judged by high school students.
They also had a bake sale.
NFL has entered numerous
speech tournaments such as
the Westchester Tournament,
Robert E. Lee Speech
Tournament, Kashmere Speech
Tournament, Clear Lake Speech
Tournament, Westbury Speech
Tournament, and the Memorial
Speech Tournament. The Spring
Branch Student Congress is a
speech tournament in which the
students are members of the
Congress and discuss and debate
the pros and cons of politics and
other topics. The members have
received numerous individual
awards for Debate, Prose Inter-
pretation, Poetry Interpretation,
Extemporaneous Speaking,
Dramatic and Humorous In-
terpretation, and Original

Voices 6th
In 1979 Mrs. Alice Pierce was
the beginning sponsor of the
literary magazine. Afterthe 1980
issue, she was unable tocontinue
this role and publication ceased.
Not until 1983 did Voices find a
new sponsor. Mrs. VVrotenberry
volunteered to take on this
task.
During the fall Voices
planned the contests and
worked on publicity. They
learned how to judge literary
merit and solicit material to be
submitted. Then they began to
select what exactly would go
into the magazine. Preparation
of the copy started during March
and April. The 1984 Voices had
172 pages of literary and art

Voices Participation 175Getting Better . . .
Ramblings and Rampage Strive for Improvements
I feel this has been the best
year ever for the Ramblings and
the Rampage. Mrs. Ritter has
really helped us improve a lot,
commented Ramblings Assis-
tant Editor Rae Rabe. Many new
things were introduced such as
weekly and deadline planners,
beats, coverage journals, after
school nights, and the lepper
list.
Goals for the year included
getting everyone in the
yearbook, not just the Popular
People, and to give every sport,
club, and class equal coverage.
Inexperience caused the year
to start out slow. The first
semester was spent learning
how to do layouts, write copy,
and interview, whereas the
newspaper staff was given story
assignments the first week of
school.
There were many benefitsand
drawbacks of being on staff. A
lot of time is involved which
meant sometimes missing some
other activities because of a
deadline. Rampage Reporter
Susan Garvin revealed, It's a
great feeling when after staying
up all night writing a story, after
three hours were spent
interviewing only three people,
and then, turning in the story
without many mistakes, and
finally having it done!
Yearbook is the only class I
have that can really alter my
emotions. Most of the coaches
and students are very helpful.
With all of the team morale and
fun times we've had together it
all pays off, exclaimed Junior
Lisa Baroski.
Both yearbook and newspaper
staffers attended two journalism
conferences held at The
University of Houston. Sessions
were held to teach the staffs
about copy writing, staff morale,
choosing themes, caption
writing, interviewing, and sell-
ing ads. There was also a press
conference held by Amanda
Arnold of Channel 11. Staffers
also attended the I.L.P.C. State
Convention in Austin. Photo-
grapher Randy Law and Ad
Manager Ahmed (The Shiek)
Sheikh were Division 5A state
award winners. Randy captured
1st place for his photo essay of
the Police and 3rd place for
his feature photo of cheerleader
Shawn Fields, while Ahmed
won 1st place in advertising
design.
The Rampage staff will never
forget when: Ahmed while
selling an ad referred to his
secretary as Karen, the first
time they tried to figure out how
to layout a paper and what an
exacto knife was, or when Elliot
surprised Mrs. Ritter with a new
Gene Simmons paperweight for
her desk, commented Rampage
Reporter Tina Hansen.
Ramblings Sports Editor Lisa
Baroski said, I think the most
difficult thing for me has been
asserting myself. I have had to
walk up to perfect strangers
(some of whom very popular,
big, scary football players) and
engage in a interviewing conver-
sation as though we'd known
each other for years.
Both staffs can never show
their full appreciation to the
dedicated photographers who
were invaluable to each
publication's success. Between
work and yearbook, time seems
non-existant, but in the end, all
this work will have paid off
greatly, remarked Photo-
grapher Stacey Lackey.

The Art Club's new Hal-
loween project, face painting,
was a total success, said Mrs.
Hook, one of the club sponsors.
We raised more than $300.
This was not only a
money-making project but also a
chance for the Art Club to
practice their skills. Many
custodians and faculty con-
tributed to the Halloween face
paintings. Mrs. Keeling had a
Snoopy painted on her face and
exclaimed it looked cute.
Some other designs were stars,
moons, tears, unicorns, dragons,
and balloons.
Art Club kept busy with
various seasonal projects,
making dough ornaments and
pi natas. During Rodeo Season,
28 students entered their work
in the Rodeo Art Contest. The
judging started at Cummings
Elementary School. Finalists,
Nghia Chau and Ray Greene,
winning Best of Show went on
to the Astroarena to have their
artwork exhibited by the Rodeo
Association. Shelley Hopkins,
Damian Hebert, and David
Ripple had their work displayed
ata downtown bank. A variety of
works exhibited included
sculpture, paintings, weavings,
and drawings all depicting the
Western theme.
During October some Art
Club members went to the 9th
Annual Texas Renaissance
Festival in Magnolia. This was
just a leisure fieldtrip, but a
chance for the students to
observe different arts and crafts
and enjoy themselves. Feasting
and spirits included many
different main dishes, desserts,
and drinks. There was also
various games such as fencing,
archery, skittles, and bocce ball.
The day was full and a tired
crew arrived promptly back to
the bus at the end of the day. . .
everyone but, one very late
student, David Barroiro. The
ride home was much quieter. As
1 drank my ice tea to stay awake,
1 could feel the excitement that
many tired Elsik art students
had experienced during their
day at the Renaissance Festival.
I would get up early Saturday
morning to do it all over again
for them, says Ms. Graham.
During second semester, the
Art Club decided to make
Valentine's Day extra special for
someone besides close friends.
They shared the day with the
elderly at some nursing
facilities. The Art Club made
valentine cards, wall deco-
rations, and some cookies. Then
it came time for them to show a
little of their Elsik football
spirit. They made a large Elsik
Rams sign and hung it in the
athletic complex locker room.
The Art Club was larger than
any of the previous clubs and
included sponsors Dr. Becker,
Mr. Aber, Ms. Graham, and Mrs.
Hook. The goals of this club is
mainly enrichment, and to do
things that are fun; that there
isn't time to do in art class, says
Mrs. Hook. Some students in the
Art Club also want to have a
career in art. At their Thursday
meetings, they would plan
seasonal projects and work on
whatever artwork they liked.
Furthermore they tied up the
year welcoming anyone who
isn't in arts-for fun!

Chalks Up State Wins
Industrial Arts Club has
grown very rapidly in the past
year. They now have 69
members. Industrial Arts Club is
sponsored by Mr. Thomas, who
teaches drafting, along with Mr.
McKie and Mr. Gehring, who
teach wood shop.
I think anyone interested in
working with wood, metal or
drafting, would really enjoy
Industrial Arts, and it is not just
for boys,” commented president
Kevin Cristadora.
Industrial Arts Club started
off early working and raising
money for the Saltgrass
Regional Competition in Waco
and State and National Com-
petition by selling bookracks,
bootjacks, and other wooden
objects.
Everyone has been working
hard toward our goals to go to
State and I think we will do very
well. Mr. Thomas and the other
sponsors have helped and have
given us a lot of advice toward
our goals says Sophomore
Monica Mulford.
Industrial Arts is very im-
portant to our students because
it provides leadership op-
portunities, and it also teaches
the study of technology plus
prepares the students for their
future goals replied one of the

Industrial Arts Club Participation 181HOS A Moves To The Top
HOSA is a club that pro-
motes community health
through its public sevice
projects. The members learn
knowledge and leadership
skills in order to make our
chapter the most outstanding '
said President Jamil Zaman.
Health Occupations Students
Of America members plan and
sponsor many projects such as
public service activities, career
exploration activities, and actual
competition in job skills,
leadership skills and scientific
project displays.
Social service projects in-
cluded blood drives, blood
pressure screening and par-
ticipation in a mock disaster
with Alief General Hospital to
aid in community preparedness
in case of disaster. All HOSA
members become certified in
Cadiopulmonary Resuscitation
and help teach others this
life-saving skill.
Career exploration is very
important in HOSA because it
gives the student the op-
portunity to learn the
qualifications, outlook, salary,
and working conditions for
many different health careers to
make realistic career choices.
Career exploration activities
include attending March of
Dimes Health Career Day at
Houston Baptist University,
touring Baylor College of
Medicine, observing actual
open heart surgery at the Texas
Heart Institute and having
many health professionals as
guest speakers.
Health Occupations Educa-
tion class provides basic know-
ledge of leadership, ethics
and citizenship. Taking tem-
perature, pulse, respirations and
blood pressure and a working
knowledge of health and
disease are some of skills
learned in class. The senior
students have on-the-job expe-
rience in a health occupation of
their choice. Three times during
the year HOSA members have
the opportunity to compete
with other HOSA students
across Texas and the U.S. This
year the competition began at
the Westin Oaks Hotel for area
level in January. Those
qualifying for State Contest
went on to Fort Worth, Texas
and finally to the National
Contest in Orlando, Florida in
June. HOSA members work
very hard during the year
preparing themselves for con-
test, said Karen Watson. The
combination of knowledge and
experience gained and awards
won gives HOSA members a
head start in planning and
their future

General Mechanics Repair
(GMR) is a vocational class at
Hastings, but isalso provided for
those Elsik students who are
interested.
In my class my students learn
more than just how to fix
lawnmowers and cars. I also try
to help these students develope
leadership skills and good
sportsmanship conduct, so that
when they leave high school,
they will have some background
experience, says Sponsor Mr.
Maldonado.
GMR started their year by
repairing the lawnmowers of
the A.I.S.D. employees. Also
GMR participated in the VOCT-
GMR District Contest and State
Contest in San Antonio, in
which they entered in Speed and
Repair, Tool Identification, and

Manuel Pitt says, This is the
first time GMR has entered any
type of contest, and I think we
have worked very hard and did
very well. But next year we will
do even better .
Being in GMR has been a
great learning experience
because I learned more about
cars and other motors than I
would have on my own,

Competition 189 But the players had
a lot of SPIRIT . .
With the arrival of September
came the beginning of school
and the opening of football
season. Under the leadership of
Head Coach Wes Bryant, the
team practiced long, hard hours
in preparing for this season.
On Friday, September 2, the
Mighty Rams fought their first
battle against Houston Lee High
School. Unfortunately the Rams
walked away with a loss of nine
to sixteen. This game gave the
team more incentive to press
harder at practices and in future
games.
The Homecoming game gave
Elsik their first season win; a
seven to nothing win over
Spring Woods. Our only other
win this season was against
Westchester.
Of course, the most
devastating loss this year was to
Hastings. But through all of the
losses, spirit stayed strong.
Coaches think that, The
varsity will be more successful
next year because of the
contribution of the junior
varsity . . . The best
description this season was
made by Sophomore Dale Smith
who stated, It wasn't a very
good season for winning, but all
of the players had a lot of spirit
and always encouraged each
other.

Varsity Football Competition 193District Champs
At Nine and One
Winning moments were not
rare during the junior varsity
football season. With a winning
season record of nine and one,
the title junior varsity becamean
inappropriate description. The
team was led to victor)' with the
incredible backing abilities and
the awesome rushing of the
team. Coach Gary Pless
explained, It is hard to single
out any one player. We feel it was
a total team effort.
For many football teams, this
season meant tremendous
defeat. The Houston Oilers and
our own varsity football team
ended their season with
devasting losses, but our junior
varsity worked as if they had
been a team forever!
Many crazy things happened
to the team this year. Coach Gary
Pless says nothing was more
unusual than having a time
change in the schedule and
arriving to the game four hours
early. Then, we returned to Alief
and went back to Spring Branch
to play the game.
Coach Pless described the
least memorable game of the
season. Had we not fumbled
against Spring Woods on the
four yardline, we would have
been ten and zero. We can still
reflect on all of the wins,
especially winning district!
A coach's proudest moment is when his team scores against their rival school
joy in Coach Gary Pless' expression during this Ram-Bear game reveals his p
excitement that was also felt at the end of the game when the Rams
28-6. Photo by A. h

Sophomores
Break Even
The number one goal of the
sophomore team was to
IMPROVE. They wanted to
improve in every aspect of the
game: conditioning, strength,
speed technique, hitting,
knowing their assignments,
getting after the opponent,
winning,andsportsmanship. As
Coach O'Keefe said, We want to
do better than the day before.
Another goal was to develope
PRIDE. They planned to take
more pride in their per-
formance, their team and the
school. The main goal of every
player should be to make varsity
and contribute to a winning
program. Sophomore players
must be ready to fill key
positions on the varsity next
year, described Coach O'Keefe.
They want and plan to be STATE
CHAMPIONS AS SENIORS.
Sean Scruggs said the hardest
position to learn was
quarterback. He also said that
practicing didn't affect his
grades very much. He felt that in
order to improve his chances of
making varsity, he must work on
his muscle tone and speed. After
a game in which they lost, the
main goal was to work harder for
the next game.

Freshman football finished
third in district. Devin Longuet
made a 80 yard touchdown run
during the McCullough game. A
member of the A team, Karl
Cambell, kicked a 20 yard field
goal to win the Spring Branch
game.
On the B team, player Kenny
Bishop was leading ground
gainer. Eric Garner, who also
played on the B team, was an
outstanding defensive end.
Chris Samuels of the B team was
the leading scorer.
Coach Parker is a cool coach
replied the football players.
Coach Parker treats his players
equally, No coach can play
favorites. It is a team effort,
Coach Parker explained. The
freshman football team had a
good year. The Hastings game
was just another game, Coach
Parker commented.
The most exciting game was
the Houston Lee game. The
players never gave up. Gary

Falls
Short
Varsity volleyball finished a
challenging season placing 3rd
in district. Losing to Westchester
in the playoffs for 2nd erased the
team's chance of playing top
teams in the state. This is the
second consecutive year the
varsity volleyball team has lost a
playoff game. Coach Brannan
commented, Next year's group
better break this curse. Even
though the girls did not win,
there were some bright spots in
the season. They beat
Northbrook (District Cham-
pion) who had not been beaten
by Elsik in three years. Junior
Debra Collier expressed her
excitement, We finally whip-
ped up on 'em! They also
played an exciting game with
Memorial when they came from
behind (10-14) to win the
match.
The team's top-rated players
contributed immensely to the
team's efforts. Seniors Lisa
Kruse, Donna Boyne and Junior
Birgitt Haderlein had extreme
talent in hitting and blocking.
Next year the varsity will have
four returning lcttermen, two of
which are starters, and they are
graduating four seniors this
year.
Coach Brannan was very
pleased with this group of girls.
They got along well, worked
hard and were never a group to
quit. The team consisted of
Donna Boyne (All-District),
Mary Kay Chambers, Debra
Collier, Robbye Denson, Birgitt
Haderlein, Lisa Kruse, Stacey
Lackey, Laurie McCoy, Carolyn
Slay, and Michelle Sumler.

Varsity Volleyball Competition 201J. V. Fights
For 2nd
Junior varsity volleyball
battled for the district title, but
fell short of a victory. With a 9
and 5 season in district, they
shared their title of 2nd place
with the next door neighbors,
Hastings. Despite their title loss,
the girls had an exceptional
season. They split games with
Hastings, Memorial, and West-
chester and played very close
games with the district
champion Stratford.
The team played in three
tournaments. Clear Lake, Spring
Branch and the Elsik
tournament which the JV host-
ed. During the Clear Lake
tournament. Coach Bodine felt
the girls played their best game
of the season. She commented,
Cy-Fair played us a great match
with the final score of the third
game 23-21! Our team never
gave up and played their hearts
out.
When the volleyball season
ended, the girls described how
they feltabout theseason. Junior
Tammy Collier commented,
We worked well together
which was a goal we had set.
Sophomore Melissa Bagesaid, I
feel that our volleyball teams are
special in the fact that we can
share more than just volleyball.
We're like a family.
The team will have no
returning lettermen, so next
year's team will be young, but
strong. I feel very positive
about next year's team. I will get
players from the freshman level
and they won district, said
Coach Bodine.

Freshmen volleyball finished top
notch capturing the district title. They
had a district record of 12 and 2 and a
season record of 21-8. The team also
placed second in the Pasadena tour-
nament and consolation in the Clear
Lake tournament.
Coach Morrow feels that the girls
played well because, They had a lot of
true teamwork. The team had con-
sistent setting from Tabitha Stanley and
strong hitting from Karen Belson and
Dru Wyatt. They also had strong defense
from Jimi Leith Knous and Tracy
Sorth.
Most of these girls plan on playing
next year with the junior varsity and
maybe even the varsity. Coach Morrow
commented, This group of freshmen
has a lot of potential. They have great
attitudes and a high level of skills.

With Jo Jones as the first place

district meets and the varsity's
first place finish at the district
meet (junior varsity, third),
going to state was in the back of

Stinneford, 3rd; and Susan
Kenney, 9th. The junior varsity
team also finished in good
standing with AnneSehm in 1st;

The race for first was close, but
at the final stretch Wendi Pena
passed Jo Jones for an amazing

Looks Like District
With a pre-district record of 12
wins and 7 losses, the road was
clear cut for the varsity team. The
hoopsters went on to a 9-5
district record. With the team's
superb talent, they were sure to
surpass their previous records.
The team was unusually
young. Seven juniors, one
sophomore, and three seniors
claimed the heritage of the
hoopsters. Elsik had one
fellow to make 1st team
All-District. He was none other
than Junior Jeff Keene, 6-fooi
seven-inch center.
The other hoopsters that
made All-District were Junior
Tom Luce on 2nd team, and
Senior Scott Harris, Junior Jeff
Glasgow, and Junior Robbie
James with Honorable Men-
tions.
The team won third place in
district competition. Next year
we will win district, assures
Coach Hartfiel. Junior Tom Luce
believes in his team too, We
had a great season. Next year we
are expected to do a lot better
and I hope we do!

Boys Varsity Basketball Competition 211J.V. Drops to Fourth
Junior Varsity didn't quite
have what it took to win this
season. Several injuries and lack
of teamwork were some of the
reasons for their drop from 2nd
to 4th in the district standings.
Brock Wilson suffered from a
knee injury, Troy Kite had
problems with his ankle which
lasted the whole season and
Darryle Brown had a hip
disorder. When asked why the
team dropped from 2nd to 4th in
district, Darryle Brown replied,
We did not come prepared for
the games!
Coach Scarborough was not
satisfied with the results. When
asked if next year's J.V team
looked like it would have a
winning season, he answered
with a laugh, I hope so!
Top performers for the J.V.
team were Troy Kite and Darryle
Brown explained Coach
Scarborough. Troy was the
leader in assists, points and
steals, while Darryle was the
leading rebounder. Darryle also
felt that E.J. Flores deserved
recognition for his leadership.
Darryle has a history of
basketball achievement. His
brother first interested him in
basketball at theageof two when
he put a basketball in his hands.
Darryle remarked, It's been
history ever since! He plans to
make a career out of basketball,
but he says, 1 will have to grow
about five inches in the next
three years to be a real college
prospect.
Several of the juniors on the
J.V. team will be moving up to
varsity to join the remaining
team members. With this
combination of players, next
year's team looks very positive
and could possibly be a winning
year for Elsik's basketball
record. By Noelle Miller

Junior Varsity Basketball Competition 213Sophomores . . . Not Fighting to Win!!!
The Sophomore team really
lost its touch this season. They
no longer held on to their 1st
place District rank, but dropped
to 5th place. Coach Parker stated,
This team was not as
team-oriented nor hungry for
victory as last year's team. No
change in coaching was brought
about, but the quality and
attitude of the players had
Kirk Evans struggles to pass the ball
while the Bears prevent it with a strong
block. Photo by M. Spiller
changed tremendously. Corey
Simmons, forward-guard, felt
that a lack of teamwork was the
main reason for this lowered
district standing.
Outstanding players of the
season were Steve Ernst and
Curtis Larry. Steve, with his
all-around hustle during games
and practice, and Curtis played
team ball.
The team did not have it and
as a result it was a tough year.
Losing 8 games out of 12
provided many reasons to get
motivated. Their toughest game,
against Hastings, was the first
game in district and pressure
built-up because the Rams and
the Bears are tense rivals. They
had one easy win against Spring
Woods with an obvious victory
of 56-44.
The team was not as dedicate
this year as in the past. Coat
Parker's method of coaching h
been effective in all areas of tl
sport, but the team did n
respond well. Dedication ar
excellence is their goal for tl
future, so let's hope that ne
year's team wants victory.

Depend On
Off Season
The future of the team lies in
the hands of Coach Jerrell
Hartfiel and his off season
program ' commented Coach
Hugh Null at the end of the
season.
The B team finished 2nd in
district with a 10-4 record.
Leading the B team was top
rebounder, hustler, and second
leading scorer, Dennis Cassidy.
Tim Schumacher, Frosh A team
leader and leading assister,
helped in directing the A team to
a 6-8, 5th place, district record.
Since the Frosh teams receive
new players each year, it makes
it difficult to predict the teams
future potential, but as a
sophomore team. Coach Null
concludes, They have the
ability to have a good team, if
they work at it!

Girls Varsity Basketball Competition 219J.V. Fights
For District
J.V. basketball is the time to
perfect abilities and prepare for
varsity but still have a good
time.
Losing to Hastings twice and
Spring Branch in overtime by 1
point, the girls lost the title of
first place to their rival Hastings.
Instead the girls earned the next
best title, second place. Despite
losing their goal of beating
Hastings, the girls reached other
goals that they had set. “We
became friends, played together
as teammates, and did not let a
team get over 38 points, said
Freshman Boi Benefield.
There were some injuries on
the J.V. this year. In one
tournament game, Bizzy
Deckard broke her leg and Tracy
Walls broke two ribs. Coach
Morrow commented, “And
basketball is a non-contact
sport ! The girls layed out for a
couple of weeks, but were back
on the court when the doc gave
the okay.
Many outstanding players
participated on the J.V. this year.
Coach Morrow commented that
contributing offensively for the
J.V. were Sophomore Melissa
Arp and Freshman Boi Bene-
field. Defensively were Soph-
omore Stacey Champagne, Amy
Armbruster, and Deborah
Collier. Coach Morrow also
adds Sophomore Jennifer
Burton as the most improved
player of the J.V.
All of the girls on the J.V. this
year were sophomores, besides
Boi Benefield who was a
freshman. These girls have great
potential for varsity next year.
Sophomore Melissa Arp was
moved up to varsity during the
play-off games. Coach Morrow
stated, With hard work, this
group can really contribute to a
strong varsity next year. Next
year's varsity will be looking for
five girls to move up to that
team.

Girls Junior Varsity Baskctball Competition 221Freshmen Win
District
The freshman team finished
an outstanding season placing
first in district along with
Hastings. Sharing the title as
co-champs is a definite im-
provement over last year's
standings. The key to their
improvement was stated by
Coach Bodine, We spent more
time on conditioning and
emphasizing defense. Each of
the girls has improved in-
dividually. Coach Bodine felt
that Karen Belson was the most
outstanding player by im-
proving her shooting, free
throws, and hustling.
The team experienced many
highlights during the season.
Coach Bodine stated that the
most outstanding game was
against Spring Branch. With
seconds left, Karen Belson shot
from 15 feet out and made two
points to win the game.
Most of the girls plan on
playing basketball next year,
which will make stronger teams
in the future, jimi Leigh Knous
is excited about next year and
says, I love basketball and it is
very rewarding. Coach Bodine
adds, If these girls continue to
improve, they will be winners
all through their high school
years.

Winning Zone With Goals
With or without a crowd, the
determination of the boys
soccer team won them the title of
Zone Champs. Soccer is a team
game, and that fact was
definitely proven by the work of
the boys through their desire to
win. The boys united as brothers
without showing selfishness in
play. This was a major
contribution to the winning
season of the Rams.
Although teamwork is im-
portant the boys felt that Coach
O'Keefe was the reason they
were so good. Jeff Doria
commented, He gave us great
guidance and without him we
would have been nothing.
Praney Patel also added, He is
a great coach and friend.
The goal of winning zone
became a reality by defeating a
tough Westchester team 5-1.
Chris Adkins was the leading
scorer with four goals and his
brother Bryan held the Wildcats
to a close shut-out giving up only
one goal. With this win the Rams
became the first team to win a
berth in the district playoffs.
During the playoffs the Rams
had an emotional game with the
Katy Tigers losing 0-3. Although
the Rams never gave up, they
could not ignite a successful
offensive attack with five of
theirshots hitting thecrossbarof
the goal. The Katy Tigers
dominated the field which
erased hopes for a district
championship.
Nevertheless, the team had a
successful season with high
standards and fair play. The
Rams had set a precedent for
future soccer teams to equal or
better. By Robbyc Denson

J.V s Second Year A Strong One!
The Junior varsity team was
really striving in their second
season of soccer. Winning five
games out of seven put them
high-up in the standings. Coach
Hearne had a dedicated team
and this being their second year
gave confidence to Coach
Hearne.
Outstanding players were
chosen for their skill,
dedication, and desire to win.
Hearne felt that Keith
Campbell, Karl Campbell,
David Huhyn, Chris Kachilla,
and Todd Kubecka were
qualified for this recognition.
Striker Keith Campbell has
had a long history of soccer. He
was raised in England, where
soccer is a very popular sport.
He became involved and
continued to play for nine years.
When asked if soccer was a part
of his future, he stated boldly,
Yes! Keith feels he did great
on the team this year, but still
thinks he has the potential to do
even better.
Hastings was a tough game
for the team, explained Keith.
He noticed their excellent
players, good ball control,
communication, and great
discipline. To make up for that,
they came across an easy victory,
Katy High School. They won
with a 3-0 score. Keith said they
played excellently and had fun
doing it. Isn't that the purpose of
competition - excellent team-
work and fun at the same
time?

Varsity Aimed High!
Rising to 2nd in zone, the
girls varsity team had a fun and
challenging season. Zeire
Cadungog, Jeanne Fifi, and
Donna Boyne all agreed that it
was a rewarding experience.
Coach LeRibeus is highly
admired by her team. Jeanne Fifi
stated, “Her method of coaching
had a beneficial effect on
inexperienced players. Three
hours daily training except on
game days, was the average
amount of time spent on basic
skills and endurance. Donna
Boyne thought more time
should have been spent on
specialized skills and team-
work.
Outstanding players were
midfielder Jeanne Fifi and
forward Beatriz Escobar. Jeanne
for strong defensive playing
and Beatriz for skillful offensive
playing helped them to succeed.
Beside skill and endurance,
eye-foot coordination is the
most important step in soccer.
All the girls deserve to be
recognized for this difficult
feat.
The varsity team consisted of
all underclassmen except for
four seniors. The remaining
players plan to continue playing
next year, so next year's team
looks very good. Their goal is to
go to zone and district play-offs.
With the returning players, that
is very possible as Coach
LeRibeus sees it.

the UIL.
A vast number of records
were set throughout the season.
During the Hastings meet alone,
the boys posted seven personal

other record setters.
At the UIL State Meet at the
University of Texas Swim

their talents. They came home
with one gold medal for Chad
Pollock; a state ranked 3rd place
and All-American time from the
Girls 200 yard Medley Relay
(Penny Rosen, Janice Sims,

they did not top last year's finish

to last place and finished 4th.
Lack of experience contri-

taught tennis for four years and
this is the first school that she
has ever coached. She really
doesn't know what got her
interested in coaching in high
school.
Her involvement in tennis
has made a great contribution to
the team. Besides coaching, she
competes in some tournaments
as well. She has no family and
coaching tennis, as well as
science in the South House, is
her only career, both which
help her to be a dedicated
coach.
When asked to predict her star
player's future in tennis, she
stated, Chuck Bratka will bean
excellent college player,
because he has continued to
improve. She thinks he is the
nicest person you would ever
want to know and that this will
also help him to succeed in
college.
Coach Gwynn views coaching
such an excellent team as an
honor. She said, It sure is n
to have people who work
hard for you and themselve
She feels that Chuck is I
sweetest guy you will ever m-

The girls tennis team had a
very weak season as Coach
Gwynn sees it. Unless we get a
good transfer next year, things
don't look too promising! ,
replied Gwynn when asked
about the future teams'
potential. Their district stand-
ing of 6th out of eight schools
was an improvement over last
year's standing of last place.
Most valuable player was
Senior Anne McHugh because
she is always at practice and
very motivated. The team will
lose her along with Tracy Kagan
and Thien Pham which will
affect the teams' standing.
Junior Tracy Kagan stated, I am
not going to play next year
because of my tough academic
schedule. She feels tennis
demands a lot of time and
dedication on the part of the
participants which she can't
continue to give.
Tracv felt the toughest school
to defeat was Memorial and
said, They have a solid team
and have many ranked players
on both their boys and girls
teams. The team was defeated
by them twice, 1-8 and 0-4. The
easiest win for Tracy was Spring
Woods.
There were no changes in
coaching techniques as far as
Coach Gwynn is concerned.
Tracy explained, Coach
Gwynn plans many drills,
designed to perfect specific
skills. Shealso involves running
and jumping rope in our
practices, helping us to become
more agile and durable.
The girl's tennis team has a lot
of potential and can go far Tracy
believes. We have a solid and
dedicated team and they have
improved tremendously over
the past year! Tracy stated.

Tennis Competition 237Track Takes Disappointing 2nd
Winning 2nd in district, the
boys track team went to
Re ionals with a total of 86
f oints, an improvement over
ast year's 3rd place. Losing to
Hastings by 1 1 3 points was
very disappointing. Coach
Fawcett felt it was the worst
experience of the season
because they were so close to
being district champs. The
regional competitors consisted
of Devlin Dunn in the long
jump and 400 meter dash,
Trevor Dodd in the 110 high
hurdles, and the 1600 meter
relay team of Darren Bell,
Shawn Forristall, Tim Adam-
chick, and Devlin Dunn.
Outstanding players of this
season were Devlin Dunn and
Trevor Dodd, both doing
exceptionally well in compe-
tition. Trevor replied, I think
overall Devlin Dunn is the best
team member. He is the fastest
and runs the best in
competition.
Junior Gary Neal has had a
memorable season. One event
that was most unusual was
during a meet when his pole
broke in the pole vaulting
event. Coach Fawcett felt that
he was an excellent player, but
hasn't really been recognized
enough, and that he may
possibly be the star player next
year.
The outlook on the future
team as Coach Fawcett ex-
plained, With improved
attitude and hard work, there is
no stopping the Elsik Rams!
The team will strive to get
better and improve in their
weak areas to succeed further in
the future! By Noelle Miller

The girls track team once again
won the district title for the 5th year
in a row. In addition to the district
title, they also captured the regional
title for the first time and sent two
girls to state. Seniors Jolanda Jones
and Val Stickler, who won the State
championship in Austin.
Under the direction of a new
coach, Li . Parke, the girls retained
their willingness to win. Senior
Janet Dammann stated, Coach
Parke was very supportive during
the whole season and was the one
who gave us encouragement and
confidence in ourselves to make us
believe wecould win district again.
Another element that contributed to
a winning season was a strong field
events team. This year the team did
not have as many sprinters and the
field events made up for lost
points.
Coach Parke feels that every girl
on the team was outstanding and
each member contributed in some
way to a winning season. At State, Jo
Jones won three events and placed
second in the fourth event as the
outstanding runner on the team.
The J.V. Ramrunners compiled a
team together at the end of the year
and competed in one meet (district).
The girls showed an outstanding
effort in district with Anna Sehms
winning 1st in the3200mand 1600m
run. With many seniors graduating
these J.V. girls will move up to help
the varsity maintain their winning
tradition.

Gary Could Be The
Star Player Next Year!
-Coach Fawcett
Junior pole vaulter Gary Neal
improved a great deal this
season. Coach Fawcett stated, I
believe that Gary could be the
star player next year, unless
some new kids come in with a lot
of skill. Gary feels that he has
improved, but still has a long
way to go. He replied, 1 also feel
that encouraging team mates is
important to succeed.
Gary started track in the
seventh grade and has been pole
vaulting ever since. His brothers
ran track for Flsik while he was
in middle school. This in-
fluenced him and, as Gary put it,
They forcibly got him to run
track too!
When he first started running
track in high school, he had
heard about Coach Fawcett. He
was known as the best track
coach in the state, and Gar)' said,
1 believe it! If it has anything to
do with track, he is an authority
on it.
His most memorable meet was
the Viking Relays at Dulles. He
placed second in a varsity meet
and was only a sophomore. In
another meet, another mem-
orable event happened-his pole
broke while in air. Gary felt the
toughest meet was district. The
vaulters from Spring Branch
and Westchester were good
competition for him.
When asked if he would
continue track in the future, he
replied, Yes! I hope to vault in
college, but onlv time will
tell!

Trevor Wins District
Senior hurdler and runner
Trevor Dodd had a very
successful year. Hescored points
at the Gulf Coast Relays in the
110m hurdles, at the Blinn
College Relays in the long jump,
and won district in the 110m
high hurdles as well as scoring
points in the 300m intermediate
hurdles and in the long jump.
Trevor replied, I feel good
about my participation. 1 think
right now I am at the plateau in
my running and hope to excel
soon!
He started track in his
sophomore year. After his first
year of track he decided to stay
with it and now has been
competing for two years. Is he
going to continue track in the
future? He replied, I hope
so!
Trevor admires Coach
Fawcett, and believes his meth-
od of coaching is very effective.
He makes people try their
hardest. He lets you enjoy the
sport while exceling at the same
time. Trevor feels he is a tough
coach, but if the individual
wants to be the best. Coach
Fawcett will help him get there.
In order to succeed Trevor says,
You have to be willing - being
the best doesn't come easy!
Last year, district wasa forever
memory in Trevor's mind. He
was expected to get 3rd in
hurdles but walked off with 1st
place and a trip to regionals. This
year was tougher for him
because of the Hastings
hurdlers. At district, Hastings
won by 1 1 3 points giving our
track team second place in
district.

Four Years Pay Off
Senior Jenny Stinneford has
becomea very skilled contender.
She has been on the track team
for fouryearsand will be leaving
when she graduates. She re-
plied, I am sad about leaving
the team because the Ram-
runners have been a big part of
my four years in high school.
Sadly, she said that she will
always look back and remember
the great times the team had
together.
Jenny helped in defending
their district championship for
the fifth time in five years. She
earned third place in the 3200m
run where she ran her best two
mile time and from there she
advanced to regionals.
Though the seniors are
leaving, Jenny felt that if the
remaining team sticks together
and have the same spirit they
will do well. You have to want
to win before you can win! , she
stated.
Coach Parke contributed a lot
toward Jenny's winning season.
She had her best track season this
year because Coach Parke
helped her mentally as well as
physically. Jenny replied, She
is a great lady and the best coach
I've ever had!

Teamwork Will Pay
Off in the Future
I made the team because I had
the potential to improve and the
discipline to become an actual
help to the team, explained
David Andrews. Like most of the
players, he realized the impor-
tance of teamwork. Though
each player could pick out
another player that was his
favorite, the coaches said that
there was no real outstanding
player. A lot of different players
made good plays at different
times. Team was the main idea
of our players.
Two games stick out in the
minds of our coaches, but the
most gratifying was beating
Hastings in the second game.
We felt that Hastings really
waxed us the first game, and
with hard work and deter-
mination we pulled through to
win the second game 5-2.

It is late in the Hastings game and Andy
Marlow is still working on warm-ups.
Photo by R. Law.
Andy (Pee-Pee) Marlow is
the all around best player on the
field. He is very reliable on
defense, and he leads our
offense with the best batting
average. He gives our team the
charge it needs. Junior Tim
Moore's opinion of Senior Andy
Marlow of the varsity baseball
team is not a unique one.
Though Andy does not think
of himself as so outstanding, he
knows he plays his best when he
has a good attitude and is very
confident. I have a winning
sense in me. I hate to lose and I'll
do all I can to win.
Andy's baseball career has
been influenced most by his
mother. I want to do good for
her.
Despite Andy Marlow's busy
baseball schedule, he finds time
to do some of his favorite things
like going to the beach, playing
basketball, or just taking it
easy.
Andy is a three year varsity
letterman and intends to
continue his career. His general
goals in life are to be happy and
successful, to have money, and
most of all to have a good
family.
Senior Mike Montgomery
perceives Andy as a sandlot
player. He is excited like he was
when he played for the first
time. He makes things

Smith Wins Awards
With Determination
Hard work, determination,
and sportsmanship were the
winning combinations that
won soccer player Doug Smith
the titles of team captain, 1st
team all-district, and most
valuable player. Doug believes
that he won these titles because
he earned them. I have
determination on the playing
field and practiced as hard as I
would play. I'm not the most
skilled plaver but my attitude
makes up for that.
Doug's attitude also carried
over to his teammates. His
friends really looked up to him
as both a player and friend.
Most of my best friends are on
the soccer team. They all
encouraged me on and off the
field and I tried to do the same
for them. Doug really enjoyed
being with his friends. When
I'm not playing soccer, I enjoy
playing other sports as long as
I am with my friends.
Doug explained that the
person who influenced his
soccer career the most was
Coach O'Keefe. He trusted me
and allowed me to grow at my
own pace. I really enjoyed
playing for Coach O'Keefe and
the school.
After graduation Doug plans
to go to Sam Houston and play
soccer. He wants to get a good
education and decide on a
career choice later. Through his
hard work and determination,
he earned the respect of his
teammates and friends.

Anne Learns Winning
Isn't Everything
Varsity tennis player Anne
McHugh has learned the values
of losing with good sports-
manship. She has competed in
tennis for four years and has
maintained a good attitude
toward the rules of winning
and losing. Her biggest loss
was to a state ranked girl from
Kincaid. She stated, It was
terrible, but she did have one
thing going for her - the girl
had been playing since
childhood.
Anne was born in Madison,
Wisconsin and tennis never
became a part of her life until
high school. What got her
interested? Coach Gwynn sug-
gested she try out for the team
since she enjoyed watching the
sport, never assuming she
would turn out to be the most
outstanding player of the
season. Anne earned this title
because of her positive attitude
and willingness to play her
best. She replied, I stuck with
it the whole nine yards while
others dropped out and look
where it got me.
Her main accomplishment
this season was her comeback
against a Westchester girl. She
came back from 4-6,1-4 to win
the second set but ended up
losing the tie-breaker. She
explained, It was a close
match, and though I lost, I was
proud I hadn't given up. Her
positive attitude helped her to
see the goals of participating in
a sport. Winning isn't the only
thing that counts. It's what you
learn while you play.

278 ClosingLook Ahead and Dream
What are you gonna do after
school's out? I don't know, just
bum around I guess.
That is the typical dialogue
between any two students,
senior or freshman. But it's
never the truth. When the
students walked out the front
doors on May 25, everyone's
plans were just beginning.
Seniors floated on cloud nine
as they dreamed of crossing the
stage that night, grasping their
diploma and the rest of their
lives with it. Juniors felt proud
as they obtained their air of
seniority. As for the freshmen
and sophomores, they were just
glad to move one step further up
the ladder. Work, summer-
school, college, and hanging-
out with friends were just a few
of the activities that enter the
lives of students in the summer.
But, everybit of work done and
every memor)' made is a step
toward future success. Afterall,
we are the future . . .

Just A Note . . .
I would like to begin by
thanking Mrs. Karen Ritter. The
original group of students that
sat in N121 on the first day of
school was simply a bunch of
non-journalistic kids. By
semester, Mrs. Ritter's patience
and knowledge had molded,
shaped, and challenged us into a
staff, a group of responsible
people that could work for and
with each other. But, the
responsibility did come with
time. Missed deadlines, deleted
copy and pictures, and the
dreaded Do this page over,
were just a few things that
transformed us.
The theme we chose for the
book was designed to reflect the
inner positive feelings and fears
of the students this year. We are
the future is a statement that we
developed in several different
ways. We wanted to prove that
everything done in life as well
as school was a step toward the
future.
This yearbook's purpose is to
present the accomplishments,
challenges, and mistakes of the
year, a year that helps build the
future. As Mrs. Ritter would say,
the book is not a scrapbook for
just the popular people. Our
goal was to include everyone, at
least to the best of our ability.
Equal coverage was a major
concern.
Everyday that we worked
together we grew and matured a
little more. We learned to
respect each other's property,
and above all, personal space
and freedom.
1 can't begin to describe the
different personalities that creat-
ed the staff. We had loners.
Noelle was the only staffer who
could write a story and headline
while listening to her Walkman
on full blast. And then there was
the cheerful people. Robbye
always has a smile, no matter
how bad things got. Robyn
never let anything bother her.
She always made her deadlines,
and I envy her calm nature. I
was always the one to panic.
Spa z became my eternal
nickname. One of my favorite
people to argue with is Lisa
Locke, the senior editor. It took
us a month to convince Lisa that
the publishing company would
not fit that copy into that small
space just because she liked it
that way.
There were several times
when we wanted to strangle
each other, but I think our
banquet at Circus made us all
realize how special this year has
been.
The one person I will be
forever grateful to is Rae Rabe,
my assistant editor. It's funny
how I've always referred to Rae
as my assistant editor, but she
really was my right arm. She
was always there to push me one
step further. At times, she had to
scream at me, hit me, or threaten
to hide my entire file drawer,
but she managed to inspire me
every time. Rae was announced
Editor-in-chief for next year,
and I wish her all the luck in the
world. She's a true friend, and I
was lucky and blessed to have
her work beside me. Thanks
Rae.
To the students of Elsik, 1
hope you will see the work and
energy that we put into this
yearbook. We did it for you, and
we hope that you like it.
A quote from our very special
adviser can really tie it all
together: It's the best
journalistic yearbook at Elsik to
make budget.
Finally, I'd like to wish
everyone the best of luck. To the
class of '84, I hope this is a
treasure you will cherish
