The jackets were given to seniors who had maintained the highest grade point average in their class as of their junior year. Principal Ron Beauford and Associate Principal Darryl Baker realized that academically strong fstudents were given less recognition than those participating in sports and other extra-curricular activities. "Letter jackets were given to football never got them," Beauford said.

The 1983-84 athletic year, while at spectacular, wasn't that kind of a year. It will be membered. As in every year, many things happened. Teams id individuals won and lostg some won more than :ey lost others lost more than they won. But nidst the seasonal fights for athletic supremacy, :ere were three events which made the year one to -member. While "King" Football was grabbing local headlines A the fall, one of the minor sports was making story. Led by junior John Anderson, our unherald- i, unnoticed, crosscountry team shocked a favored district title. It was the first district running title in our l I-year history. During the previous year, Anderson had put together a squad of All-American swimmers who captured the state 5A girls' aquatic title. The young, mostly sophomore squad was considered the odds-on favorite to repeat as champions, perhaps for the next two years. However, because of disenchantment with the coaching and ,swim facilities, the squad's four All-Americans 'quit, along with swimmers from some of the other Austin schools. , The year ended early for the girls, and it threw the state 5A crown up for grabs. But groundwork was being laid for a comeback. expense of athletics. Dallasite H. Ross Perot and critics said we were spending too much time on the playing field and not enough time in the classroom. Several recommendations were made. It was then the legislature's turn. While the outcome wasn't known at year's end, we all realized the athletic scene as we knew it was undergoing change. But that change would never create a large turnout to support a district champion cross-country team, nor would it ever bring back a state championship in swimming. However, there would continue to be cross- country, and swimming, and football, and all the other sports. Academics was the main reason for us being at Anderson, but athletics provided the anier squad - and others - by capturing the Anothermovementbeganearly in theyearat the spirit that kept us going.

OPENING 1 5 6 I OPENING Activities questionedg justilied H undreds of students participated in extra-curricular activities through band, drill team, athletics and clubs. Yet across the state, administrators, teachers and parents complained that extra- curricular activities often had too much priority over academics. I Principal Ron Beauford said he thought Anderson didn't overemphasize extra- curricular activities. Beauford understood the importance of them and felt they should be emphasized, but only up to a point. "All of these activities were part of a high school education. Many things like 'esprit de corps' and relating with one another were not learned in the classroom," Beauford said. Approximately 90 different extra- curricular activities were offered at Ander- son, which directly related to a subject or career a student may have been interested in. "They gave enjoyment, skills, and an , E is ' 1 ' ' T 1 . 'i,,t s . - t Caught between two huge Texas foot- ball players, track coach Wade Johnston debates his predicament thoroughly in his mind.

In the long run, extra-curricular ac- tivities were vital to a high school stu- dent's education and his overall need to feel a part of his school and community. A well-rounded education, which included more than simply academics, was ab- solutely essential to the development of a well-rounded adult. r, tf ,fi E At the outdoor Homecoming pep rally, senior Belle Becky Ransom participates with fellow Belles and cheerleaders in sup- porting the football team. fs . i 1' , xc 5: ' A ' 'T ' wx 4 y lnstructing defensive lineman Gary Moody, Coach Wade Johnston reviews the past plays.

OPENING f 'I Students find ways to have tun There was more to high school than homework, tests, or books, and no one knew this better than the high school student. Although grades were important, most students believed there came a time to put away books and relax, do something you enjoy. For many Anderson students, this simply meant being with friends. And that was how students spent their time away from class, whether it be atten- ding a football game, participating in Homecoming Parade festivities, or splitting a pizza at Mr. Gatti's. There were plenty of opportunities to socialize and more than enough people willing - it was an activity most teenagers excelled in. During the first and last months of school, when the sunny days made it hard to remain in a classroom, a favorite pastime of students was to head for the lake. By the carloads, students flocked to City Park, especially on the weekends, for a day of fun and sun. lt provided a chance to forget troubles and, at the same time, obtain that "super tan." Another favorite student pastime was to hit the local movie theaters. A walk past Northcross Six Saxaphonist Steve lhnen marches on- ward through the Homecoming crowd.

Many clubs and organizations took part in this by entering floats decorated to an appropriate theme. Others participated as they marched along the parade route laced with spec- tators. Though people appreciated what they saw on the surface - decorations, signs, and costumes, their perceptions may have been flourished knowing what the students and sponsors had put into it. Entering a float required much respon- sibility and dedication to design and con- struct that float. Those involved in this ac- tivity joined together and became a team that worked on their own time, until the final touches were applied. A float was not thrown together in just one dayg it took much time and patience. The other organizations, such as bar and Belles, not involved in riding float showed their hard work in the performances. lt may not seem like as much time we involved, but the routines were rehearsl and perfected until they could be perfori At the Homecoming parade, seniors dressed in red and rode on a red I8-wheeler to show their spirit and support.

The issuing of parade entries kicked , the beginning of an all-afternoon celebration. The celebration was open to any club or class interested in choosing a theme and designing a float around that theme. Students who wished to participate on foot were welcomed to do so. Clubs began their hard work preparing for the parade, while at the same time, the Student Council was at work drawing the parade permit and police escort. With the day of the parade soon ap- proaching, the order of all the floats had to be decided.

After all 23 floats completed the charted course, certificates were given to those who were most original, most beautiful and had the best theme. Dedication was the key to a successful parade. After the event was over and the decorations taken down, it could definitely be said that it was worth all the work.

"The planning really started about December," a class officer said. "We went and checked out different hotels for the prom and also determined the money situation. Both had to be cleared with Ms. Hetzel, and she signed the contract--we were set." Next came fund raising. ln February, the officers sold candy. A car wash followed on April 28th, and was held at Jack Brown Cleaners on Anderson and Shoal Creek. lt was a great success. Finally, the seniors held an all-day garage sale at school.

GRADUATION f 25 Parties: A celebration of senioritis W ith the realization that this was their final year of school, many seniors had parties to celebrate this glorious occa- sion.

But for others, college, an even greater task, lay ahead. Whatever the case, the seniors made the best of their While celebrating their last week in high school, Seniors Suzanne Hardin and Pat Murphy share an embrace. final year of schooling.

Some people went as far as Hawaiian luaus and Mexican fiestas. Leis and Mexican hats decorated every guest. The more solemn, calm gatherings could also be found. A night filled with playing cards, watching TV, cruising around town, or just sigging around and recalling past events were shared by some. The main topic discussed by girls was "boys," and, of course the guy's main topic was "girls." 26 I SENIOR PARTIES Senior parties bring together classmates and friends, but Bill Massey and Jose Moreno show they also bring out the clown in people.

These two simple words best summed up the many lrtfelt emotions held by millions of peo- around the word during 1984. 'here were intense moments of despair, vhich strong feelings of anger, fear and en confusion were expressed, both ver- Iy and silently.

Soviet cials claimed that the passenger carrier been mistaken for a spy plane. This ated a controversy between Russia and United States, in which most of the : world joined. Leruit was a place of mass bombings chaos during the majority of the ool year. However, it was also a spot of interest for many Anderson students, due to the stationing of two former students with the Marines in Beruit. Concern for friends and relatives station- ed in that world hotspot was evident, and it came as a shock to the student body and faculty when news arrived that Tim McMahon, an '83 graduate had ,been killed in the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beruit. The bad news was somewhat tempered by the revelation that Marine Joel Montgomery, another '83 graduate, wasn't killed in the bombing. Grenada was another area of political turmoil in the world. Against Cuban and Grenadian resistance, the LLS. 82nd Air- borne invaded the small Caribbean island, supposedly to rescue more than 600 stranded American medical students. More than 6,000 troops were sent to ac- complish this task, and for the first time in American history, the press was barred from being present during the invasion and fighting which followed. A large cache of arms and explosives was found on the island, and government officials asserted that Grenada was being prepared as a base for revolutionary ac- tivities in the Caribbean, and South and Central America. On a more positive note, the Ll.S. was particularly proud to have been represented by such an outstanding group of amateur athletes in the 1984 Sarajevo if "1 H ' 452521 ,, 1 Winter Olympics. Although Americans hoping for another gold medal in hockey were disappointed, the Ll.S. team brought home eight medals. America's gold medal winners included Debbie Armstrong in the giant slalom, Scott Hamilton in men's figure skating, Bil- ly Johnson in downhill racing, and Phil Mahre in the giant slalom. The Winter Olympics were thought of by some as merely a warmup to the Sum- mer Olympics, which were scheduled for Los Angeles in July. However, much of the anticipation of an East vs. West confronta- tion was lost when the Russians and most of the Communist countries announced at the end of the school year that they would boycott the games. This was thought by most to be in retaliation to a similar boycott by the Llnited States and many Western countrie of the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow Although it cer ainly wasn't a triumph for the United States, the America's Cup Challenge Race off the Atlantic Coast cer- tainly caught the attention of people throughout the world. The cup was won in the best three-of-five races by the Australian yacht Australia ll, featuring a radical hull design. lt marked the first time the Ll.S. has ever lost the cup, after defen- ding it against 24 challengers from throughout the world, dating back to 1851.eChrissy Levering fx vw . for W".-4 i'i 99,54 1 -gf' ,A "-eff gf M52 Representing the 1984 Winter Olym- pics, held in Saraievo, Yugoslavia, is this commemorative medal.

For the first time in American political history, a black candidate rivaled white op- ponents in a presidential race. Rev. Jesse Jackson, former civil rights activist, sought the Democratic nomination, turn- ing out a record black vote during the primaries. Jackson had gained fame in the early 1960's while participating in civil rights marches with Martin Luthur King Jr. As in any presidential election year, much of the national scene was dominated by candidates vying for position. President Ronald Reagan surprised no one by an' nouncing he would run for re-election, but after the first few primary elections, what appeared to be a surprisingly close race developed on the Democratic side between Jackson, newcomer Sen. Gary Hart of Col- orado, and the favorite, Walter Mondale. All of the major Democratic candidates came to Austin seeking support. Reagan didn't come until July. As the space shuttles became a routine part of our lives and we directed our atten- tion more and more to the unlimited do- main of space, we were introduced to the concept of an American female astronaut. Sally Ride, our first woman in space, traveled in the Challenger space vehicle in June of 1983. ln a mid-summer special session, the Texas Legislature approved an amended educational reform plan, proposed by Governor Mark White and his appointed chairman of the Select Committee on Public Education, Dallasite H. Ross Perot. Perot's goal was to enable future graduates to competently face the on- coming age of high technology, just begin- ning to arrive in Texas. Specific measures of the reform package included competency tests for teachers, teacher pay raises, career teaching ladders, increased funding to poorer school districts, and restricted elementary class sizes.

Fashion ranged from the simple, yet unique-looking plastic shoes fwhich added to the preppy lookj, to the outrageous, but interesting punk look. The punk clothes tied in perfectly with the rising androgynous craze of Boy George, lead singer of the group, Culture Club, who had caught millions of eyes with his long hair, makeup and loose-fitting, robe-like attire. Michael Jackson, another singing phenomenom, rose to success with sequined outfits, record-breaking album sales, and his seven Grammy Awards in one year. Around Christmas, there was a mad rush for the Cabbage Patch Doll and the Trivial Pursuit game. The Cabbage Patch Doll allowed all children, regardless of age, to love and feel loved by a cute and cudd- ly, if somewhat homely and inanimate doll. The Trivial Pursuit game became popular with teenagers and adults alike. The trivia game would last for hours and tested one's knowledge of interesting, but otherwise totally useless information. The game consisted of 6000 questions and answers in the six categories of li Sixth Street continued to be a draw for high school students, but this year was marked by the appearance of new wave fashions on the "strip," With the exploding popularity of the movie "Flashdance," breakdancing and popping came to Anderson, as students "did their thing" daily during lunch. 32 Z Local Events geography, history, entertainment, art and literature, sports and leisure, and science and nature. On the more serious side, political and health conditions plagued the year locally. Southwest Austin had problems with its sewage, and there were too many sewage hookups to the Williamson Creek Treat- ment Plant. The City Council tried unsuc- cessfully to solve the problem by having trucks transport some of the sewage to other treatment plants in Austin. Of course, the big story - a continuing one - on the local scene was the steady stream of newcomers to Austin and the Austin area. With the northwest hills, healthy environment and favorable living conditions, Austin continued to be a mec- ca to most. The exploding population also meant a need for more living space, which caused the building industry to continually set construction records. Bumper stickers commenting on the situation usually centered around the north-south feud: Welcome to Texas. Now go homeg We don't want to hear how you did it up nawth, Keep Texas beautiful, put a Yankee on the bus. The situation caused one person to observe that the Texas state bird must be a building crane. A special newcomer to Austin was ported from the north, and despite the ft it was the Christmas season, it wasn't S ta Claus. During the latter part December, Austin was visited by the 1 dest winter on record, which s- temperatures skidding for the zero ma Pipes froze, as did people, and me newcomers were wondering if they i really left hards winters behind. The heated Democratic runoff prima election for the C.l.S. Senate seat betwe Austin's Lloyd Doggett and Kent Har created much local attention, too. The r blems started with missing voting bo: and malfunctioning computers. When was all over, Doggett was declared the v ner by a small margin.

Dr. Bailey Marshall, LllL executive director, presented a list of proposals to the Select Committee on Public Education that will strengthen the limitations on sports and other extracurricular activities. These proposals, if passed, will have a great effect on both athletes and their teams. For instance, if a quarterback doesn't meet the new academic requirement which compels an athlete to pass four classes instead of three to si. One of the featured speakers at the recent Legislative Council meeting was H. Ross Perot, chairman of Governor Mark White's Select Committee on Public Education. participate in league activities, he will be ineligible to compete. Head football coach Jim Acker is in favor of the proposal that would raise academic requirements. Although Acker agrees with raisinggthe academic requirements, he disagreees with some of the other proposals. "lf we eliminate the sixth period football class, that would put extra pressure on the players and the coaches because there would not be as much time for practice," Acker said. The educational clash involving and academics began shortly Governor Mark White appointed millionaire H. Ross Perot to head a select Committee on Public Education to study the Texas Educational system. One of Perot's first targets was the over- emphasis placed on athletics by some school districts. Critics saw this as a war on athletics. "lt is impossible to recover the school day for learning if extracurricular sports after Dallas activities, including football, take the place of academic classes," Perot told a reporter for the Dallas Morning News. Perot also stated that statistics show only 25 percent of the school day is devoted to learning in Texas schools. Vote sought by Jill Anderson Various proposals devised to improve academic standards and restrict loss of classroom time were addressed Oct. 16-17 during a meeting of the University interscholastic League's QLIILD Legislative Council. "The council voted to place on the referendum ballot a number of proposed LllL rules for all schools in the state to vote on," Dr. Bailey Marshall, l.llL director said. The meetings, which included public hearings, attracted many concerned parents, students and administrators who presented opinions and ideas. "The meeting had the largest attendance, the greatest participation, and the most comprehensive press coverage of any in League history," Dr. Marshall said, Among the proposals suggested at the meeting were: ' Requiring high school athletes to be passing four instead of three courses, excluding physical education, to compete in a League contest. ' Prohibiting students from missing a class they are failing to participate in a League activity. " Revising the Five-Year Rule, commonly called "red-shirting"--a practice used in junior high, by which a student is retained in the seventh grade for competitive purposes. ' Adding gymnastics and wrestling as LllL sports for conference AAAAA. ' Eliminating mandatory basketball and volleyball penalties for players or teams violating game and tournament participation restrictions. " Revising the college course enrollment regulations so that courses which are taught by a high school teacher and which conform to Texas Education Agency standards are not considered college courses, although the student receives college credit. All these proposals will appear on a referendum ballot which will be sent to school administrators in February. If the proposals receive a majority of votes, the approved items will take effect next year.

'J ' K, n 36 1 svonrs Coverage praised One of the journalistic highlights of The Edition's publishing year was a photo and story concerning the pressures on a high school athlete. The story was written by senior Daniel Carrell, while the photo of Carrell was taken by senior photographer Charles Caudillo. Caudillo's photo was entered in the San Antonio chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, Society of Professional Journalists' feature photo contest, where it won a second-place award. Carrell's story told of student athletes who take on the responsibilities of academic school work, extra-curricular sports activities, a job and a social life. While there is a great amount of pressure, Carrell wrote, there also are plusses. "Athletics does a great job in bringing out the best in a person," Carrell wrote. "lt urges the athlete to improve himself while in competition with another player "lt trains one to do his best while complying with the rules," he continued. "lt teaches the athlete to repsect those people in authority over him, and to obey them in what they say. "lt seems that with all of the pressure, lack of time, rushed days, exhausting workouts and negative aspects that affect the athlete, sports should not be included in high schools," he added. "But I believe athletics are the best asset to a high school career." In addition to his job and athletics, Carrell served as the "bookkeeper" of the Publications Dept., as a senior accounting project. Caudillo was head photographer of The Afterthought yearbook, and was the key person responsible for its publication. District chooses sports in athletics vs. academics by Stacy Pierce What's a winning season for a football team worth in dollars? The Round Rock School Board believes that 544,000 will bring them a winning season. The Round Rock board recently voted unanimously to hire Doug Ethridge of Port Neches Groves as the new head coach for Round Rock High School, at a salary of 544,000 a year. The action has drawn considerable criticism from several areas. Since the RRISD is a member of the Southern Assn. of Colleges and Schools QSACSJ, an accreditation agency, they must adhere to a SACS policy which states that the highest paid person on a school campus must be the principal. This caused a domino effect which gave raises to key personnel in the RRISD. At a board meeting last month, the trustees spent 515,586 in raises for two high school principals, one administrator, one coach and an athletic director. At a later meeting, school superintendent Dr. Norman Hall received a 56135 salary boost. Because of the SACS policy, Round Rock principal George Bujnoch received a 54207 raise. That brings his yearly salary to 544,005, or only 55 more than the coach makes. Since, in the eyes of the school board, the principal, shouldn't make more than the athletic director, Joe Means received a raise of 53600. He now makes 544,010, only 55 more than the principal and 510 more than the coach. Also receiving a salary boost was the district development administrator, Alice Brown, who received an 5876 raise. She now makes 544,015, or 55 more than the athletic director, 510 more than the principal and 515 more than the coach. Other personnel were given similar raises, too. The main reason Round Rock can hire a 544,000 coach and give 515,586 in raises is very simple to understand. Round Rock has only two high schools - Westwood and Round Rock High. Austin has nine. lt's cheaper to give two coaches and two principals raises, rather than nine coaches and nine principals. "Our educational system is definitely more important," Anderson principal Ron Beauford commented on the Round Rock situation. "I don't think that 544,000 is too much for a coach, but compared to what teachers are making, he is being overpaid."

TAP is a welcome change in testing inimum competencies for graduation rd certifying advanced skills for honor nurses, which have challenged easurement of student abilities. "The TAP will provide more accurate lsessment," said Office of Research rd Evaluation COREJ testing staffer evin Matter. Testing dates for the TAP will be May and 2. These dates, a few weeks later an testing dates of previous years, ould help provide a more accurate cture of achievement throughout SD. Spiral-bound multilevel test booklets clude all test items in four different 'erlapping levels for students in grades through 12. Students are to answer ily the items for their level. ilnstructions and time limits apply to levels, so students in various grades ay take different levels of the test in re classroom at the same time. The .ident's identification information will ' preprinted on the appropriate level rswer sheet. The TAP, published by Riverside iblishing Co., is a "sister test" to the wa Test of Basic Skills QITBSJ, which ows continuous measurement of ,hievement growth from junior high irough high school. As achievement sts from different publishers do not ,easure the same skills, districtwide 'erages may change when a district ranges tests. ORE expects some changes in AISD ierages with the TAP, but cannot iedict how great the changes will be, lcept in the area of reading. Sixteen grcent of eighth grade students in the SD score from the 90th to the 99th rcentile in reading on the lTBS, but ily two percent in the ninth grade score ,the same level on the STEP reading St. The reason for this drop is that the l'EP norms are outdated and imprecise r high achievers in reading. This drop Dm 16 percent to two percent should :eliminated with the TAP. 'The TAP provides both percentile and grade equivalent scores to measure achievement. While only percentile will be reported to the studentsfparents via the results brochure, reports to the school will contain both scores. The TAP also has more recent norms than the STEP. Minimum competency requirements on the TAP will be at the 9.0 grade equivalent level. ORE is not sure how the 1982 TAP norms will affect the number of students meeting competency, but anticipate very little, if any, change. 'Counterspy captures students stealing time QEditor's Note: Student names have been withheld at the request of those who were involved.J Four high school students - three from Lanier and one from Anderson - were recently suspended for three days, after they were discovered using home computers and telephone lines to break into the Austin Independent School District CAISDD computer files and steal computer time. Although no financial or academic grade files were tampered with and no actual damage done, Mike Reed, system operator of the AISD Hewlett-Packard 3000, told the Austin American-Statesman that thousands of dollars in computer time had been wasted in illegal use. "fThe studentsb made about 272 entries over a six-day period for a total of 70 hours," Reed said. "lt happens every year at some schools. But so far, our security has been cracked only at the teacher level." Reed, who was asked to find the time thieves when a Lanier computer math teacher discovered her computer password no longer worked, realized the students had used the teacher's password to gain access to the schools' computer system. The students then used the password to create more passwords which led to the destruction of the teacher's password. After Reed identified the new passwords, he pretended to be a member of the Pirate's Cult, the computer club all the suspended students belonged to, and asked one member to identify himself. The unsuspecting student did, and Reed later discovered the other three guilty students. Reed, who expects computer thiefts to continue, wonders why the Pirate's Cult and other similar organizations keep up the computer piracy. "They always get caught," he explained. 'Bandit' tells all He's one of an emerging breed of criminals. He calls himself "Apple Bandit," and he steals computer programs. Apple Bandit isn't alone in his crime. He belongs to the "Pirate's Cult," a group of software computer prgram thieves. Together with the less active "MasterBreakers," they are Austin's high-tech Mafia. Their crimes are in violation of the Federal Copyright Law, which was recently revised in order to protect software. They use "handles" for many reasons, says "The Atom" of the Pirate's Cult. "Mainly so people don't know who you really are," he said. "lf you want to get psychological, it could be that we all have alter egos, and it doesn't go against our conscience when we break the law. Another reason is that everyone does it. If you're gonna be a priate, you gotta have a name," he added. To steal software, all the potential pirate needs is a blank disk and a copy program. He would place the original disk in one disk drive fa device used by computers to retreive information from a diskl, his blank disk on another, and run the copy program. Using this simple method, which rarely takes more than five minutes, it's possible to copy a S500 program.

Mobs of people swarm into department :res upon hearing news that shipments Cabbage Patch dolls have arrived. These chubbycheeked dolls originated Cleveland, Ga., in a medical clinic. ibbage Patch Kids are cheaper replicas the Little People, created by Xavier nberts, who began making them by hand 1978 what he called the "clinic," which as converted into his Original Jpalachian Art Works Factory. Every softsculpture doll had a name, rth certificate, and an adoption rtificate listing Roberts as the "father," ace of birth was listed as "Babyland :neral Hospital." The Little People were first sold at Georgia flea markets for 530. As demand for the dolls increased, so did the price. Little People now cost at least S125 each. Special anniversary editions cost S500 and are available at 2000 toy stores--or "adoption centers"--around the country. The original Little People are also experiencing a dramatic sales increase. Roberts, although he was not adopted, remembers being told as a child that babies were found in cabbage patches, a popular variation onthe stork fairy tale. Coleco has chartered Boeing 747's to fly 200,000 dolls from their Hong Kong factory to toy stores around the country. After Christmas, Coleco will increase the price of the Cabbage Patch dolls. During 1984, Coleco plans to make dolls in different sizes with stronger ethnic vari- ations. Every Cabbage Patch Kid is unique, the hair, dimples, freckles, eye color and hair color differ in some way from doll to doll. Each doll also has a different name, created by the same computers which design each individual doll. One factor which appeals to the parents is that a Cabbage Patch Kid is simple. It does not wet it's diaper, blink it's eyes, cry, walk, talk, or roller-skate. It does not make noise, need batteries to install, or have buttons to push. It is just a simple rag doll. When people buy a Cabbage Patch Kid, they are supposed to vow out loud that they will take care of their stuffed child. Adoption papers separate Cabbage Patch dolls from from any other doll on the market. The papers build a solid bond between the adoptive guardian and the Cabbage Patch Kid. v' JA I ig av v .

Page after page, row after rwo of senior pic- tures. My friends, my acquaintances. I fell asleep thumbing through my past, and then it was today. I picked up The Daily Texan to read with my breakfast, and there was one of the faces I recognized from high school. Not a friend, but a name I knew, a face I recog- nized from the halls. He was a year older than I was, Class of '82. And there was his senior picture on the front page. He was smiling, and I remembered see- ing that smile before. Often, I remembered, he visited his girlfriend in my government class the year after he had graduated. I remembered him coming back once in a uniform, smiling, his hair shorter than ever and a spring in his step that only pride can give. Pride and joy in living. Linder his picture were the simple words, "Marine PFC Timothy McMahon Austin native killed in Beirut." Simple words, yeah. But death is simple, I guess. I just didn't realize that those front page stories would ever hit so close to home. There was his senior picture, and he was wearing a suit and tie, not the Marine uni- bodies' form that he sported so proudly. And I found myself wondering which senior picture I would see next, which of those little interchangeable squares would catch the eye of some editor somewhere. Cause to the editor, that's all it is--a little square to fill a little space. It could have been any other one of the Class of '82, wearing coat and tie and grin. But it was one of us. This was a somebody, with friends who'll cry. But he was a somebody only to those of us who were there, who could remember. To everyone else, he was just a picture and a name. It made me think, made me realize that there were 228 other somebodies killed that day in Beirut. 228 other inter- changeable squares that were friends and acquaintances, that were names and faces with coats, ties and grins in other yearbooks. lt's a small number--229. A small salary, a short distance. But it's not a small num- ber of sombodies. Not in anyone's book. Fred Burke 1983 Graduate YEARLY EVENTS I 41 BALCONES ASSAULT This One This is a lonely one.

We laughed and loved In the beautiful radiance of a fresh Spring day. "A new beginning," you said, "For us and all the earth!" Oh, we were carefree that day, Leaving our troubles to take care of themselves. For just a few hours, Feeling innocent and happy. Where has Spring, and the meadow, and the flowers gone? They all seemed to flee with your departure. The winter set in, cold and dark, Leaving me alone in a world without love. I really don't understand it. I've thought about it a lot, But I can't seem to put my finger on it. How could what we thought was the beginning Really turn out to be the end? Where has the innocence, The glory in the new day gone? I thought it would last forever.

Looking into the void of jmonstrous encasement, his eyes saw the Pty-eight well-lined soldiers, wound in rlasting bondage, waiting for the explosive w from their hammering counterparts. Pleased that all was well, he took his seat. Excercising skillful muscle control, his fingers gently pressed the surface under them, pro- ducing the auditory sensations to which he had grown accustomed. Now confident of his task, his fingers began to take control of the one-thousand hearts that were watching him. On this audible bulletin board, he so sharply arranged his notes that he felt those hearts and his become one, crescendoing together in a rapid onslaught of sound, then subsiding, slowly entering the souls and minds of those hearts, who would forever remember the ex- perience. Then, even slower, he built from the solid foundation of the C, the waves-waves capable of indefinite pounding, but instead, flowing harmlessly into the ears of their listeners, depressing them with sober thoughtfulness. Now was the time to stop reflecting and concentrate on the ominous finale beginning to form. Yes, he had succeeded in catching them off guard. A few tried to break free, but it was too late. Crash! l-lis hands slammed down on their black and white victims, who were forced to hammer out whatever test was put to them. Higher and higher he went, driv- ing those long-rested elephants into a mad rampage for freedom, unleashing all of their violent energy on their unprepared listeners. At last they were stopped, dying under the weight of a sturdy and final blow. Satisfied with his performance, the famous pianist withdrew from his grand piano and took a bow. Theater Don Fox "Theatre" is a word that is usually asso- ciated with a buidling used as an entertain- ment center. Theatre's common definition is: "a place where plays are acted or where motion pictures are shown." That definition is, as all dictionary definitions are, accurate. The problem with it is that it is really incomplete. Theatres are not just places to have plays performed in them or movies shown in them. Theatres are workshops also-where scenery and sets can be built, where people learn the building of the scenery and sets. Theatres are art galleries full of breathtaking backdrops, where the artists of tomorrow can perfect their craft. Theatres are places to learn new skills and seek out new talents. The theatre is a home to many who pass through its doors. The theatre provides a safe haven for those who cannot face the prob- lems of the world, but who wish to speak out against those problems. The theatre is the place where people can be the people they've always dreamed of being. lt's where people can experience places they've never been to. The theatre is the place where all people are accepted, no one is turned away. The most special meaning of the word "the- atre" is the feeling you get by working with people you love. Not many people invovled in the theatre mind being awakened at any hour of the night to discuss personal problems. The theatre gives its artisans the feeling that they are cared about, befriended, and loved. The theatre is a friend for life.

Sometimes it can be a frustrating and time-consuming effort without reward. However, Photography Club students were required to attract the viewer's eye with each picture they printed. "This is what makes the ideal picture," junior John Arnold said. Sponsored by Mrs. Debbi Delleney, the Photography Club was established an an extra-curricular organization where the students attended meetings and held parties.

Plus, the students learned that there's really only one kind of basic knowledge needed to become involved in photography. "You just need common sense and fast thinking," Arnold commented. The members of the club were permit- ted to take pictures of anything and everything, they weren't confined to any one particular topic. Given this freedom, students produced many outstanding photos during the year, which won awar at state and national levels. "Overall, it's been a really producti year for the Photography Club," meml Todd Burns said. The officers for the year were preside Charles Caudillo, vice president Gere Gold, treasurer Kim Patton and seagea at-arms Todd Burns.

Photography Club 1 69 Art skills displayed in many areas rt in all forms...the art of speech, in- dustrial arts, and the familiar art of drawing and creating. According to Webster, art is "the mak- ing or doing of things that have form and beauty." But no matter what kind of art is involved, numerous Anderson students have strived to perfect their individual skills in the arts. For example, Mr. Marvin Lewis, head of the speech club, said that he tried to "train the students in public speaking, debate and poetry interpretation." By competing in tournaments, the students were able to learn and enjoy themselves at the same time, plus they had the chance to win an award if their per- formance was outstanding. r While Industrial Arts Dept. chairman Bill Click sketches out a drafting project, Gonzalo Zapata questions a particular point. Members of the Speech Club include, front row: Jacqueline Mays, Angela Blackburn, Betty Ellis, Katherine Groh, Mary Clare, Lana Smith, back row: spon- sor Marvin Lewis, J.J. Garcia, David Gar- za, Lance Taylor, Ladale Tinker. 70 K lA Speech Preparation for a competition basically consisted of reading and re-reading the selection that had been choosen, before an audience of their student peers and their coach, Mr. Lewis. Then, from the construc- tive criticism that the peers offered, the short story or poem could be recited for the judges in the most expressive voice possible. Despite the little success that the speech club had at competitions, Mary Claire said, "I consider experience in public speaking valuable because whatever field you get involved in, you need to know how to speak in front of groups." Industrial arts enabled students to gain knowledge and skills involving the technical aspects of industry. A wide va ty of such training courses were offerec the lA department during the school yea These included drafting, architectt photography, plastics, fabrics, general i applied electronics, auto systems, dustrial ceramics, industrial jewelery 2 leatherworking. Finally, art students were given the portunity to demonstrate their creat abilities in many ways, such as submitt their work to the Balcones Assault, Ana son's literaryfgraphic art magazine.

And, indeed, it was a great year for everyone involved with the art depart- ment. Those belonging to the Art Club were led by a fine group of officers - president Cindy Courtright, vice president Michelle Riojas and secretaryftreasurer Mike Ivy. Others were taught by Mrs. Rutt who stressed creativity, skill and techni- que in everything that was done in her classes. "I believe that the students benefit by being able to express themselves in- dividually," Mrs. Rutt said. "There's not any one correct answer in art."

But perhaps the most thrilling part of belonging to any organization was the prestige and recognition that the students can get from displaying their talents publicly. Numerous art students par- ticipated in competitions this year and pro- ved to be extremely successful. The Scholastic Art Awards Contest received thousands of entries from students all over the country. However, at the national level, Mike lvy received an honorable mention for his pencil drawing, which was considered quite an honor. Other Anderson students who received Gold Key Awards and also submitted their work in the national contest were Alex Able, Cynthia Courtright, Stephanie Davi Teruni DeSilva, Elise Gonzales, Mike lv itwo Gold Keysj, Elaine Lowe, Elizabe1 McLean Qtwo Gold Keysj, David Moelle dorf, Margie Ramirez, Earl Stanley, Ma Whitehead and Kim Wright. Artwork was entered in other variot contests, where there were Anderson wi ners. Matt Whitehead won a first plat prize in the Old Pecan Street Festival cor petition, and the Women's Assistal League's Calendar contest awarded fir place to Brant Meyer. Also, Earl Stanle received a first place in the podiatry for poster contest. What does it take to be successful anything, especially art? According to Mr Rutt, "lt takes desire and self-discipline.

Mu Alpha Theta members went to five local contests, held at Crockett, Austin and Johnston High Schools. These tour- naments help prepare members for the state and national math conventions. ln August, the national convention was held in Oklahoma, and Doerr, president Elaine Ramsey, vice president Mike Hall and secretaryftreasurer Myron Brannen at- tended. Llpon their return, Doerr said the members "did well" in competition, adding that she hoped they would do "just as well as they did this year" in the 1984 national competition, scheduled for New Orleans. Not only did the club have activities, but math teachers constructed puzzles each month for the student body to solve. "We did the Puzzles of the Month to help develop students' problem-solving ability," Doerr said. "I believe the puzzles were a great success." During an afternoon practice session, sophomore Tom Ellis gets additional help on an equation from Mrs. Donna Gunter.

President Felicia Wydermyer and vice president Pat Stevenson were learning even more, Thompson pointed out. They were learning the qualities of leadership. The club was a way of helping black students help each other, as well as people outside of Anderson, Thompson went on to say. The club served to get black students together as a group, to do things as a group, she added.

Members, selected for their scholarship, leadership, character, and service, were chosen to use these skills in the club's projects. Scholarship and a willingness to serve were definitely necessary to operate the free tutoring service NHS offered to students, and organizing and participating in weekly trips to Brack enridge Hospital's pediatrics ward required leadership and character.

Society secretary Jana Johnson said that she was able to improve her ability to communicate. "Having to contact speakers and organize service projects has taught me how to present myself to adults outside of my usual sphere," she said. "Working with NHS has given me a taste of what the world outside of high school is like." Like NHS, Peer Assistance Leadership QPALJ was designed to serve the dual ni purpose of helping others and teachinf members important skills.

After inheriting the magazine from Christian Smith, an Anderson language teacher, Cameron made many basic for- mat changes, including an attractive in- troduction of artwork and photographs. ln addition to the changes in format, a smaller type face placed within three col- umns, as opposed to the old two column format created a new book style ap- pearance. ln the 1983 edition, Cameron's format proved to be successful when the Balcones Assault captured second place in state competition.

Although football season was really ex- citing and a lot of fun, it also signified the beginning of a lot of hard work for band members and the directors. Throughout the first semester, the Anderson band busily learned new drills and music while, at the same time, they prepared for competition by working on techniques and precision. To accomplish all of this in a limited amount of time required an extra effort to be put forth by every individual in the band. lt also required summer, morning and after- noon rehearsals.

During this time, the band marched in the morning heat while working in sections and as a whole. The flag corps was involved in learn- ing new maneuvers and routines for the performances. Finally, as summer band was reaching a close, they practiced their parade marching skills through the surrounding neighborhood, led by drum majors Steven Lamb and Kim Senkel.

Consisting of only three juniors and five seniors, the cheerleaders faced many pro- blems this year from students who said that they failed to support the teams other than football. "That wasn't true," said senior cheerleader, Millie Madison. "We tried hard to support all of the teams." The cheerleaders were not only involved in supporting the football team, but others, such as the basketball team. A pep rally was held to support the basketball team, and the cheerleaders attended each of their games for the sole purpose of ex- pressing their support. The cheerleaders did a good job helping the spirit of the school and supporting all the teams who represented the school.

She was also extremely skilled in both serving and in playing the backcourt. The key to the JV team's success was that the players had the ability of playing well both offensively and defensively, Richards pointed out. An especially strong back row defense could also be attributed to the team. The result was a memorable year for the players and for Coach Richards who, after three years said she would not be coaching volleyball any more. "This year's team was just super as far as playing as a team is concerned and that's what volleyball is all about," she said.

"We defeated every team that was predicted to defeat us," he said. "Our victory over Lanier, 18-7, and over Austin High, 13-7, proved we were one of the best teams in the district," Acker said, "because we beat two of the highest rank- ed teams."

He was .ually up by 6:30 in the morning, eparing himself for an early weight orkout before school, then he went rough five periods of classwork. At 3 p.m., he reported to the locker om, and was usually out on the field by 3:15 for practice, which caused mental as well as physical strain. Practices sometimes turn into marathons continuing until almost 7 p.m. On days before games, the team watched films until 8 p.m. Then after a 13- hour day, the student began his homework. There were various social activities which also demanded time. ln order to follow this type of schedule all week, one had to have great desire and dedication. Athletics did a great job in bringing out out the best in a person. lt urged the athlete to improve himself while in competition with another player lt trained one to do his best while com- plying with the rules. lt taught the athlete to respect those people in authority over him, and to obey them in every word they said. The greatest thing about sports was the togetherness felt by the team as they strove to win every contest. This union, which was brought about by working together, sweating together, hurting together, and rejoicing together, could not be adequately described. The joy and sense of accomplishment felt far exceeded any negative aspects caused by tough schedules. With fourth down and long yardage, the call is for junior Eddie Kelly to punt. Vw!

To qualify to compete at state, wrestlers had to place first or second in their weight class in the regional tournament.

The team had few individuals in the heavier weight classes, and this hurt their chances to win local tournaments and at the district meet.

He totaled 171 strokes for 36 holes of play. "They will not advance to regional this year, but scores by underclassmen indicate great improvement for next year," 4 W- ' ' C ff1"M35If'YM'l"in . Bostick said of the team's performance. Bostick pointed out that the three girl team members: Stacy Bales, Leslie Arnold and Rese Passarella placed well, but could not compete as a team because there were not four players. "The golfers we had were hard workers," Bostic said. "They all had a good attitude. With another year of experience, they should be more competitive on the district level." Since ripples or uneven tufts of grass could spoil her putt, Stacy Bales checks the terrain between her ball and the hole. f lt's a windy day, which can cause the ball to fade, and Ruth Anne Passarella watches the flight of her ball, to make sure it doesn't go into the rough. lt takes a lot of concentration to get the ball across the green and into the hole.

Measuring the success of any given season through her philosophical viewpoint, the girls' gymnastics coach, Karen Gonsoulin, suggested a combination of individual effort and team spirit. With this concept many fine gymnasts were uncovered at Anderson, including Laura Prothro and Jo Ann Tomez. Proving their unique abilities in a meet against Lanier on Jan. 5, Prothro placed first on bars, second on floor and vault, and fifth on beam, while Tomez placed second on bars, fifth on floor, and sixth on vault. ln a meet against Reagan, LBJ, Johnston and Austin High, the girls' team placed second, and both all-around event competitors, Prothro and Ann Thompson, placed high in the meet. imitating a tense actor before his performance on opening night, meanwhile, senior gymnast David Zern, represented the boys' squad and prepared for his fourth state competition. As an all-year-around sport, gymnastics required diligent students who not only knew the basic moves but were willing to practice after school. "We practiced during school hours and at least once a week in the evening, usually Wednesday night, to work on our routines," girls' team member Sheila Perez said. Stiff competition directed from San qw, Antonio and Austin high schools provided plentiful competition for the girls' team. Although the team had many individual successes-which was expected, since gymnastics is an individual sport--Coach Gonsoulin's main concern for a following successful year was to heavily publicize gymnastics in order to obtain the new team members required to construct a strong, upcoming unit. From students interested in gymnastics, sponsor Otis Budd held tryouts for tumblers who would perform before Friday football games. Throughout the year this group, known as gymkhana, not only tumbled at Anderson's Friday football games, but appeared at elementary schools and various sports activities.

Classes 'W .Hx hen we think of what makes up a school, we think of classrooms, nooks, lockers, athletics and other places ar things. But if we stop and think about vhat a school is really made of, it's the students. Without students, there would be to school. ln fact, it is because of students hat education is such an important element of life. Even if all the books, ockers and classrooms were destroyed, new classrooms and equipment would ake their places because there will always ve students. As one, big, happy family, the Belles share a lot of happy moments together.

Adjusting to such a situation demanded the use of several lessons learned previously in high school. By having to handle similar situations during their high school years, they would have gained that much more experience. Also, the variety of people met and classes attended would benefit their future careers.

T he junior year is probably one of the most fun years in high school, but it was also one of the hardest. Students, excited because of their recent promo- tion to "upperclassman," were often surprised at the change that occurred during the year. Teachers began to prepare the students for adult life. Re- quirements and responsibilities grew rapidly during this year and the junior found himself having to make very mature decisions about his future. But even in the midst of much stress, juniors always found something to relieve the tension. lt might have been a basketball game, an "awesome" party, or just a leisurely day at the lake. Regardless of what it is, a crowd of these "upperclassmen" were guaranteed to be found, laughing and having fun together. The junior class would always be the "fun- loving" group that someday would make up the adult world. Juniors Allie Baldwin and Karen Dueser dress accordingly for the Key Club float's theme "Toga."

A second year student in a high schoolg one next above a freshman. "Got that, plebe?" Even in Webster's time, a sophomore was of higher staltus than freshmen. But why couldn't he leave well enough alone? He goes on to make an offensive adjective out of a perfectly good noun by defining the word "sophomore" as "bombastic, immature, shallow, and superficial." Wait a minute! We resemble that remark! Why couldn't he have come up with a word like "freshmanic" or "junioristic," even "senioric?" Sophomores are misunderstood, it's all a part of the "sandwich syndrome." After all, seniors had graduation to look forward to, leaving the "prison" of high school to get out into the real world, The juniors' goal was "rule the school"g to have the best senior class ever. Freshman anticipated more than anything else simply not being freshmen. Under constant ridicule and harrassment, these plebian students anxiously awaited the day when they, in turn could pick on the new "fish." But what of the sophomores? All we really had to look forward to was another year of the "syndrome," agonizing us to the point of frustration. We were considered underclassmen, and were treated with the disrespect we face plebes. There was hardly a significant cha we had superiority only over fresh This was of little consolation. Still seemed to handle the situations remarkable deignity. Sophomores always seemed overcome their problems with l colors.

New systems, new teachers and new relationships were all a part of beginning high school. Like the freshmen, the up- perclassmen also had to adapt to these changes. These students' freshman year also in- volved maturing, and at the same time, having lots of fun. Sooner or later, the new students settled in, and found out high school really wasn't like the first day all of the time.

Under the prevailing system, an "A" in an advanced or "honors" class was worth 111 points, when averaged into the stu- dent's GPA, rather than 96 points for an "A" in a regular class. Educators decided to use this system in order to encourage and reward students who were willing to put forth the extra effort required in an honors class. ln the past, highly motivated students were forced to make the decision between taking competitive, honors courses that would be mentally challenging, require more work and preparation, and a tougher grading criteria, or take a regular class that would require less work and preparation and would have a more lenient grading system. The ultimate choice had to be whether the student was willing to put out extra effort and possibly be penalized for it by receiving a lower grade, or to put out less effort and receive a higher grade.

Ya tes 209 EMT erhaps the least recognized school workers are cafeteria personnel. The main job of the cafeteria personnel was, of course, to prepare and serve food, and to clean the food equipment. "Part of my job is ordering food and making sure that we have everything we need," cafeteria manager Bobbie Culp said. "l also sometimes cook, help clean and serve on the line." Culp became manager in February, following the retirement of Atrelle Wheeler. W M W., T'........,,.. X gif 'gi' '.' With the orders piling up, Elma Golden takes a minute to inspect the amount of food present in the trays. As lunchtime crowds gather, Mary Cor- tez and manager Bobbie Culp greet them with spoons in hand.

"Then, about four or five times a year, we have a health inspection. The inspector goes over the kitchen with white gloves, taking points off for grease or dust," she added.
