Barbe High School - Les Memoires Yearbook (Lake Charles, LA)

Text from Pages 1 - 224 of the 1984 volume:

r sK The dreaded rainy day had arrived like March’s lion — unwanted, unexpected. and unfortunately, not saved for. The nationwide economic depression had trickled down to Louisiana and hit the industrial community of Lake Charles a harder blow than could be absorbed. Plant closings and worker s lay-offs reduced revenues generated from in-lustrial and sales taxes. The coffers were empty. A tax millage was the only hope. Everyone joined in the campaigning — teachers, students, parents, and school board members. Despite the best of efforts, a community angered over what they considered a mismangement of school monies and threatened with further lay-offs, defeated the proposal 10,202 to 9.054. There was to be no rainbow. No pot of gold. Committees were formed, morales were deflated and the cuts announced: Reduce leaching naff and increase claw loads Close five schools Eliminate allotments for English, math, science, social studies, and physical eduatioo Eliminate funding for hand uniforms Reduce allotments for music and an Discontinue furniture and equipment allotments Reduce Office allotments Transfer financial responsibility of office machine maintenance to individual schools Elininatc funding for driver's education Stop funding for utilities at athletic events Eliminate funding for non-revenue sports Freeze salaries of all employees and reduce insurance benefits No ooe was spared, the budget bely «tightened all the way.

A temporary lull in the Barbe-LaGrange pep rally set the stage for head coach Jimmy Shaker’s unexpected presentation of the 4-AAAA District Championship trophy. The bleachers exploded into wild cheering and arm waving as he proudly paraded down the center aisle, trophy held high above his head. Les Memoires Volume 11, 1984 A. M. Barbe High School 2200 West McNeese Street Lake Charles, Louisiana 70605 (318) 478-3628 Title — 1 THE PRINCIPAL ELEMENT. The cutback in teacher number was the most noticeable low. Coaches picked up classroom loads, teachcrx were scheduled in their minor fields, and administrators went back to the trenches. Stephanie Dubea. freshman, gets advice before turning in her assignment for Vice Principal Marianne DiGiglia's third hour English I class. THE BIG CHILL. A computer was one item the School Board bought to try to overcome the lack of money. One of its purposes was to regulate the air conditioners, but for the first few weeks of school it was actually accomplishing the opposite. Ms. Gwen Lancon's fourth hour French I class felt the chill as they wore coats and gloves in class and then stripped them off for the 85-90 degree weather outside. 2 — Opening The heat of the summer sun had burned away the black mood left by the spring's tax defeat. The sounds of the now-distant doomsday barely echoed over shouts of laughter and greetings as the first hour bell called students to class August 29. But at classroom doors, the sight of 40 odd warm-bodies spilling over into the hall brought it all back. Seven teachers had been cut, including a coach, a librarian and a guidance counselor. Those who were spared, scrambled to find desks for overcrowded classes and shrank their budgets to fit smaller salaries. Assistant principals Marianne DiGigiia and Denton Heinrich picked up an English and a math class to help lighten class loads. Coaches put down basketballs, whistles and ping-pong paddles to pick up rulers, chalk and lesson plans. Signs chanting Baseball, hot dogs and apple pie cropped up at pep rallies as players lamented the loss of their sport. Copy machines, with less fluid and paper, turned out fewer pages. Students went back to copying from the board. As the sun set on that first Friday of school, optimism slipped over the horizon and pessimism dawned. Was there no answer to lighten the load? NO ROOM AT THE INN. Mrs. Jean Barker’s first hour English IV class felt the cutbacks first hand. Losing seven teachers resulted in the elimination of some classes all together or at times as many as 36 -49 were enrolled in a single class. Opening — 3 A Specific time and date couldn't be pinpointed. Anyway you figured, a plain or simple answer only explained it halfway. Maybe it was the feeling of being special that began to sparkle in the eyes of the assistant principal's students. Or the camaraderie that developed among too-close neighbors in over stuffed rooms. Then there was the pride, unmistakable in the voices of faculty members who had sacrificed, coped, and were feeling better for it. The feeling peaked, creeped and sneaked its way into every face and facet of campus life. Then it snowballed. Before the eyes of an unbelieving community, the team ranked last in pre-season predictions reeled off one victory after another till the ultimate win was theirs — the 4-AAAA District Football Championship. Coachless and penniless, baseball players and their parents held an organizational rally October 18 and lined out fund raisers to net the required $4000 to reinstate the ole ballgame. Five weeks, one street drive, a hotdog and cake sale, and two raffles later, they dusted off home plate and someone yelled, Play Ball!” The student councils got the fever, too. Changing the method of election to generate more participation, the groups spurred a renewal of student body interest. A crowded fun filled Homecoming week was the result. We had found our pot of gold. It couldn't be put in the bank or buy back what had been lost. But it sustained us and raised us to a level of determination no defeat would destroy. We were going to be better than best.” There was nothing halfway about it. SPACE CASE. Homecoming Week's Bizarre Day was one filled with wild plaids, tough gang members, and of course those uniquely unusual punk rockers. Dressing was limited only by one's imagination and courage. Kim Crater, junior, lets her real personality shine on the senior's dress up day. MIXED EMOTIONS. Report card day, dreaded by some, anticipated by others, arrives on time regardless. Most students are forced to live with butterflies in their stomachs on this controversial day, some nraying desperately for honor roll while others would kill for a D.'' Damon Crycr and Todd Cooley, juniors, compare their grades they earned the first six weeks during homeroom period. 4-----Opening WE DID IT AGAIN. After winning the third playoff game against Lake Charles-Boston and clenching the district championship for the seventh straight year, the volleyball team broke out in wild cheering. Opening — 5 barbc had been the new kid on the block in the school system. It was 14 years old but the student body had never been put to the test. Growing pains were forgotten as everyone realized that it was time to get moving and shape up. It seemed students forgot how to do things half-heartedly. To the Max was added to every adjective, action, and reaction. Window painting contests and poster parties resulted in displaying a kaleidoscope of renewed spirit and color. Fashion was everyone's passion as students tried on parachute pants and Flashdance shirts. They took off in their Members Only jackets to cruise the beach or pig out at Taco Bell. The weather seemed to catch the spirit, too. Students prayed for a touch of nippy air to make the usual tropical Christmas a bit more like Bing Crosby's white one. Jack Frost went overboard with a record breaking temperature of 9 degrees. By spring the students' moods were as bright as the leaves. But they were green no more. Somewhere between August 29 and May 29 those untested, untried youngsters grew into determined teenagers. They were on the right track, heading every which way but down. GETTING IT OUT IN THE OPEN. The monotony of the classroom needs interrupting at times. A few of Ms. Gwen Lancon's second hour students take a break from the French II drills and exercises to breathe some fresh air and parlcr in francais. THE WONDER OF IT ALL. The varsity basketball team is about to pull ahead of East Beauregard as the fans rise to their feet in anticipation, (inset picture) 6 — Student Life i-llOK'l SCHOOl ;tudent Life HOMECOMING Breaking Tradition Creen leaves covered the trees. The heat from the sun was enough to turn the air-conditioner on full blast. Students talked of sailing and swimming. And Homecoming. Homecoming? In September? When the talk of summer hadn't faded like a suntan? Homecoming was out to shatter past traditions as it attempted to form new customs. People used to experiencing this event in October were disoriented. The weather doesn't make that much of a difference, admitted Kelly Melton. It's just that October seems more like autumn. Some traditions, however, were meant for a lifetime. Following long-established rituals, Vickie Doucet was crowned 1983 Homecoming Queen during the half-time ceremonies. Court members included Mary Ben-nerscheidt, Stephanie Borel, and Nicole Jinks, seniors; Michelle Dun- man. Kim Martin, and Melinda Matthews, juniors; Celeste Frugc and Paula Williams, sophomores; and Annie Bennerscheidt; freshman. Customary dress-up days spiced up the week. Camouflage Day launched the rousing week of events. Army rejects surrounded the buildings in their army fatigues. Those who didn't care for the mercenary look, took up jungle gear. The first Twin Day included triplets and quadruplets, many dressed in Saint Louis uniforms. Lisa Manual and Daphne Monier dressed to kill in McDonald's uniforms, while Bill Nicholson and James Peacock tried to compete with their Kroger jackets. All sorts crawled out from under the sidewalk for Bizarre Day. WHERE’S JANE? Tarzan. Bill Nicholson, looks alone on Bungle in the Jungle Day. LIKE WOW MAN. Homecoming week's Twin Day brought out four senior girls dressed up in look-a-like hippie garb. 8 — Homecoming QUEEN OF THE HOP! A( the traditional halftime ceremony.

Homecoming — 9 HOMECOMING Breaking . .. (cont) Anything goes today,” muttered Kelli Gregg, senior, eyeing some tights covered with japanese characters. The feeling of Mafia Day was summed up by junior, Eric Bohdan, who assumed the alias Sweet William as he schlepped his machine gun around. Watch your mouth, he snarled. Or I might have to blow it off. The first Powdcrpuff football game twisted tradition as it poked fun at the authentic ritual. Cheerleaders. Bluebelles, and any other female willing to show off her athletic prowess took to the field Tuesday afternoon to join in the fun. The skies could barely hold back the accumulated moisture, and when the storm burst, the teammates found themselves swimming for the ball on the muddy band field. Chris Owen nearly split his powdcrpuff when he heard his name as announcer, John Miller, said I present to you our 1983 Powderpuff Queen. I've always dreamed of this. Owen confided. Other court members included Bill Nicholson,, James Peacock, and Tim Taylor, seniors; Mark Miller, Gilles Morin, and Ricky Self, juniors; Grady Akins and Scott Doyle, sophomores; and Chris Ferguson, freshman. The feeling of Mafia Day was carried over to the Friday night Homecoming Dance with The Jazz Age. The band Lafitte helped keep everyone's mood up. It certainly was a unique, one-of-a-kind experience. stated sophomore Paul Behrend. — MARSHALL NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE. Personalities shine through as the Homecoming Court poses for group pictures.

KEEPING IN STEP. Seniors $et a kick out of the band's rendition of Some Kind of Friend.” 12 VARSITY SPEAKS OUT. Senior. Lance Ogea addresses ihe student body, asking for their support during the season. PEP RALLIES That Something Extra From the mountainous roar of the student body to the faultless melodies of the band. From the Bluebellcs' precision dancing to the undying spirit of the cheerleaders. From the optimistic orations of Coach Shaver to wild and wacky games between classes, Buc pep rallies were a sight to behold. Buc spirit sessions have always been a little different, and this year was no exception. A miscom-munication between the administration and the student body prompted the front office to move the midseason rallies to after school hours. The increased attendance proved the students were serious about their roles as loyal Buc supporters and the morning pep rallies went back to schedule just in time for the I.aGrange game. Mrs. Hebert added her special touch to the events by cooking her traditional Gator Gumbo and KPLC spiced up the spirit by-flashing its cameras around at two pep rallies. It just made you want to yell ail the more,” said junior Troy Harrington, enthusiastically. Every pep rally had that special little something to make it stand out from the one before. The senior girls' spoof at the Homecoming pep rally sent senior football jocks scurrying to hide their red faces, while observers hunted for Kleenex to wipe laughter-wet eyes. Barbs dug in sharper with the aid of props, such as Lisa Manuel's taco and Penny Evans' shades and leis. Pam LeBato strutted up to Dietz Eastman saying, PINNED BLUE AND WHITE. Junior, Doug Hurguicres is covered with spirit ribbons as part of a contest to get the football players psyched up. PLEASED WITH PARTICIPATION. The football players do their own thing as they watch the students demonstrate their class cheers.

PEP RALLIES That Something Extra (con't.) Dietz, you're so fine.” I know, came the reply. Alesia Broussard sashayed, forward wearing cleats and a foot of extra padding. The sign on her jersey read, Don't Squeeze the Sherman. Super Buc, John McGehee, and the Unknown Tor, alias Chris Owen, battled it out at the Sulphur pep rally. No one need ask who was the winner. The ultimate embarrassment for some of the football players came at the Lake Charles-Boston rally when members of the team played the Licorice-Kiss Contest. Pep rallies have always been on a higher plane because of the great record of our football teams. When the football team is having a good year you want to show some appreciation by showing them how much you support them. That's why we always have great pep rallies, maintained senior Barrette Brown. But football isn't the only sport to get the peppy look, basketball had its moments, too. The gym filled quickly as the student body steadily streamed in. The cheerleaders got the crowd on their feet with a constant chorus of cheers. Coach Costello, then, in-trod :ed his cagers saying They are only as good as they think they are. Barbe's fight song brought the pep rally to a crescendo and finally to a close. Like a football or basketball team, pep rallies have hills and valleys, but as long as that little something extra — the fans' loyalty remains, no height of enthusiasm is unreachable. — CART Pep Rallies — 15 GENIUS AT WORK.

Senior Tonya Sanders takes a break from cleaning up and has a few laughs. 16 — Poster Parties A SPLASHING DASH. Ai a 4 p.m. Octagon poster party Caroline Zama puts the finishing touches on a quarterfinals poster. Touch of Color Raising Spirits The quiet residential neighborhood soon lost its cloak of peace and quiet. A long car drove by others who parked on the street. Out of the cars came long rolls of paper that were soon strewn all over the driveway. In a short time teen-agers bent over the sheets of paper and got to work. Another official poster party had begun. Poster parties have good causes: to stimulate the football and basketball teams to victory, to promote election candidates, and to advertise around school. Classes and clubs get together to promote the school. All that is needed is rolls of paper from the American Press, some paint, a driveway to work on, and portions of the student body. Kerri Jacobi explained the art of making posters. When it was time for a game we decided what to put on the poster by using alliteration. That's using the first letters of words. When we played the Tors we had to think T — the Tors. We could get really creative with alliteration. One certain Octagon poster party stuck out in Michelle Terranova's mind. It was just a normal poster party. Then some of the guys. Craig Richardson, Danny Dyer, Southey Hayes, and David McF.lvccn started tossing a football around. It got thrown into the street and nearly hit some lady's car. She got really angry over it and called the police. So a policeman came over and told us to ’stop hurling missiles across the public way. However, most poster parties were uneventful as 'guests' quieted down and started concentrating on the delicate process of painting the perfect poster. Control, especially, was a top priority. Dripping paint on a clean poster was as taboo as refusing an invitation to the White House. Poster parties were tranquil, unlike other years when they were often inter-rupccd by the arrival of rival classes intent on destroying each other's work. As artwork, the product of poster parties would never grace the walls of the Metropolitan. But the point that a poster emphasized was worth a thousand words. — MARSHALL MOTHER NATURE CALLS. Junior Missy Brewer docs no« help clean up because of the old bathroom excuse. Poster Parties — 17 Hamming It Up Do you wont to be in pictures? Do you wont to be a star? If that were the questions asked to the typical ham. the answer-would be a definite YES! They were always there, those hams, right out in front of every picture, every roll of film, their arms outstretched like an airplane's wings. Those hams were the first in the crowd to detect the wandering lens of the camera with their uncanny radar. Always the first to leap forward armed with a full set of pearly whites. When they saw a camera, they forgot rules, conventions, friends. Romans and countrymen as they tried to hog any Hash. Photographer Jim Gray was baffled by the bizarre behavior exhibited whenever he pulled out his camera. They go wild. he said in amazement. You'd think that they were going to be all over the front page. I just wish that they would have more respect for what I'm trying to do instead of trying to block a good picture. When it comes to being in a picture. people divide themselves into two categories. There are the hams who will jump rivers to be front and center, and the camera-shy who avoid the click of the lens like the plague. I admit I'm a ham. confessed Anna Moon. It's nothing to be ashamed of — almost everybody is one. There are some people who hate getting their pictures taken — I'm just not one of them. Even though I'm pretty obvious about PEEK A BOO. Robert Blankenship and Darren Caillouct grin toothily for the camera as Stuart Williams edges between their heads. GET A GRIP.

Hamming (Cont.) it. there are plenty of people who are secretly hams. When I'd see someone with a camera at school. I'd also notice a pack of kids trailing along behind. Some people will do about anything to get in a picture.” A ham's reaction at the sight of a Camera was an interesting phenomenon. The ham began to eye the photographer like a hungry wolf peering at a tender lamb. The way hams surrounded a camera to pose and strut was similar to the way a swarm of pirhanas attack a piece of flesh. They proceeded to act normal” — tall people standing in front of midgets, short people wrestling tall people to the ground, scuffling. kicking, soon a full scale riot would erupt. All in good fun. A smart photographer would pretend to take pictures and then slip away before the tear gas arrived. Whether it was the low-key ham with the friendly smiles and waves or the flamboyant ham jumping in front of the camera, anyone could be a ham. Whether goat-ropers, band jocks, phase-3 jocks, or jock-jocks — they shared a common quality — their addiction to hamming it up. — MARSHALL NUMBER ONE AGAIN! Jill Wclborn. freshman, and juniors Anjeannctte Lcgcr and Paula Raley show they're still number one after winning their last game of the LOB district tournament. Hamming It Up — 21 Fun in the Sun Work os Well os Ploy m T o season gets as much of a reception as summer. In A honor of its appearance schools close, businesses shut their doors, and students car-jam their way to the Lake Charles beaches. It is common knowledge that all things take second priority to goofing off in the summer. The Lake Charles beaches look like they've been hit by a swarm of bathers. The only time you can catch a glimpse of the sand is before dawn and after dusk. Mark Bauer, Bethyn Dawson, and Cindy Bates, juniors, shed their Calvin Kleins and donned their Dauphins to join the pack at the beach. Summer wasn't always fun and games though, the fun was frequently interrupted with the other thing that comes with getting out of school. Chores — the parents' babysitter — was used to keep the kids from going out. The minute I got home from school on that last day, sighed Senior Paul Self, My mom had a mile-long list of things to do waiting for me. Senior Kelli Gregg grinned, Even though I had some chores to do they didn't stop me from going out and partying. From chores to loafing to fun, the summer was full of adventure and excitement. The season of relaxation and recuperation certainly lived up to its name. The word fantastic summed it up. SPI.ISH SPLASH. Senior. Bred Talc, hydroslidev on Lake Charles and makes a splash of waves.

Gettin Away Lazy Days It was a distant but glorious vision, the shining hope that kept the masses from going crazy. It was an incentive to bring encouragement to an otherwise depressing situation. It was the promise of two days of freedom called a weekend.-' Once it had started, the main goal was cramming as much partying into AS hours as was humanly possible. There were dates, parties, and school sporting events to amuse the serious weekenders. The entire weekend is just one big party! proclaimed junior, Doug Felton. In agreement, Cathy McCreedy added, I love the dances on Friday night! Everybody goes to them, so you can always be sure to Find some of your friends there.” Some people also found joy in daytime activities. Shopping, sleeping and playing tennis were at the top of most lists. I like to go to Town and Country Center in Houston, commented Chelccn Shaw, sophomore. They’ve got the best stores around! Not everyone spent the weekend having fun. Some were condemned to hard labor: mowing the grass, weeding, and vacuuming the house. Others were doing time for less-than-wonderful report cards. I hate being punished. complained sophomore. Michelle Pizanie. All week long, I make big plans for the weekend. Friday comes, we get report cards, and there lam... punished again! No matter what happened on the weekend, it was almost always better than the week. As students settled into their desks on Tuesday the distant memories of freedom floated out the window. The weekend had come and gone again. I woke up this morning,” recalled Shawn Corkran 'and I thought it was Friday. Then. I remembered it was only Wednesday. But there's only two days left! CHOZEN JUST A TRIM! Freshman Jennifer Dunn spends her Saturday giving her sister Amy. senior, a haircut on the front lawn. Weekends — 25 Dancing The Night Away The hassles, the fusses, the headaches. Shouting was the only way to carry on a conversation with all the pounding music. The mob of people all bunched up together. The lines for pictures that lengthened every minute. All the little minus points about dancing. What made everyone enjoy them so much? The dances had themes ranging from the traditional formality of prom to the semi-formal Homecoming and Twirp to the casual fun of Sadie Hawkins. Dances were the best places to see and be seen whether it was a long-awaited, carefully arranged extravaganza or just an eleven o'clock impulse. Kids could come to dances and just talk without being asked to leave the premises. The battle between the sexes seemed to be evening out. Of the four major dances held each year, two. Twirp and Sadie Hawkins, were centered around the fact that the girl asked the boy. Chorus sponsored Twirp fell near Valentine's Day, on February 11, so the King of Hearts was a natural selection for a theme. The dance's colors were the colors of the playing cards: red, white, and black. Sadie Hawkins, held by the Art Club May 11, was a more casual experience. Couples wore matching clothes as they enjoyed Cajun fun. As in years past, the crowds mobbed the Marriage Booth for pictures and a certificate in Cajunese. Penny Junker attended both dances. People were more sedate at Twirp.” she observed. The people at Sadie were more hyper. I didn't think the d. j. played enough slow songs. Opinions of the dances differed, I don't like dancing. complained Denise Harter. 1 always feel like 1 look stupid. I like the dances, contradicted Chuck Gay. I think they're a lot of fun. — MARSHALL ALMOST PARADISE. Juniors Kim Marlin and Paul Cormier slow dance during Sadie Haw kins. WHAT A MOB!

Contraband Days commemorated the coming of buccaneer Jean Lafitte to Lake Charles. Local legend says that on his trips here, he buried his treasures in the Contraband Bayou. While few search for it today, thousands of people flock to Contraband Days every year. The landing of the Buccaneers at the Civic Center seawall and their capturing of the city kicked off the two week festival. An evening parade full of colorful floats, brassy marching bands, and notable local personalities brought the crowds to watch the proceedings and even catch a handful of plastic beads, dubloons. or candy. I went to the parade, but I didn't catch anything.” complained junior Dawn Huhn. The Matt Armstrong carnival was also visited by nearly everyone who attended the festival. Thrilling rides, games of chance, and food stands were common sights on the Civic Center grounds. 'The rides were a lot of fun.” enthused sophomore Gina Eggers. especially for a local carnival. It was great! The bed and bathtub races, always an unusual event, was more than unusual this year — it was truly bizarre. Students from school even claimed 1st place in the bed races. Riding their bed to victory: Andrew Gray. Don Seymour. Virgil Smith. John Mowarden. and Scott Riviere victoriously crossed the line representing the local Boy Scouts. We were really surprised when we won. concluded Andrew Gray. The lake provided the perfect scene for sailboat regattas. Grady Akins, sophomore, was in the winning boat of Sunday's race. After a fruitless Saturday afternoon race, his boat came from last place to second, passing the last marker just as the time limit ended. Because of the make of his boat, it was judged as making better time than the one ahead of it. and it won. The spirit of Jean Lafitte abounded during Contraband Days. Eating, drinking, and being merry was the general rule in the region of the Civic Center, the home base of the festival. For a short while, two weeks in May. Jean Lafitte returned to Lake Charles once again. — CHOZEN. AND THE ROCKETS RED GLARE. Many Barbe students went to see the fireworks display before going on co ihc Sadie Hawkins dance.

Coming a month between holidays, Halloween gets attention galore. But, after years of trick-or-treating high school students finally kicked the habit and spent the night of the living dead getting scared out of their skull watching horror movies or just cruising around town. All I did this year was go over to a friend's house and wish I could have some of her brother's candy, divulged Mary Ellen Marshall. Immediately after Thanksgiving's fabulous feast of foods, the decorations went up. The Christmas spirit began to take root as trees were decorated, presents bought, and greeting cards mailed. The Chorus presented a polished performance of Scrooge, a musical version of Dickens A Christmas Carol. Not all found it easy to get into the swing of things. I didn't have any Christmas spirit, admitted Lisa Gray. When I lived in Pittsburgh, it snowed every year. Here in Lake Charles it's warmer. New Year's Day came and went leaving a wake of bowl games and a bunch of tired students in its path. But radicals like Pam Chozen wouldn't leave it like this. I watched football for 10 minutes and it bored me to death. So, I watched an LSU basketball game instead. Love was in bloom as Cupid fired his arrows at will on St. Valentine's Day. Art Club helped spread the love message by taking orders and sending val-o-grams to awaiting lovebirds. Love turned into lunacy as Mardi Gras madness swept through the state. But, there weren't many people staying home this year. Murray Greene, Jay Arnold, Angela Richard, and Stephanie Bogle chose to steal away for a week in the mountains as did countless others. Easter came April 22, almost a month later than it did last year. But, did this stop people from celebrating the coming of the Bunny? All through the Easter holidays I was on a chocolate crave, admitted Laura Peveto. Holidays come and go quicker than fashion trends. Things are bought, said, done, and then, many times forgotten.

But take a closer look ... Argyle sweaters, flashdancc tatters, Japanese lettering, or all of the above — layered, it seemed that any trendy style fit as long as it had the elusive combination of mass appeal and individuality. Sweaters and jeans were widely worn during the winter months. Member's Only jackets appeared to be favored for keeping warm. Ski vests were seen on those whose thoughts weren't focused on geometry but on dazzling white slopes. Ski bums returned from their excursions wearing sweatshirts with the names Brcckcnridge, Keystone, and Red River plastered on. The hardy student roughed it on cold days, clad in a flannel shirt with long underwear pecking out from the collar and sleeves. Sometimes I wished that I had brought a jacket when it was warm outside, complained Cathie Burge. It was always freezing in Mrs. MacDonald's room — even without the air-conditioner on. So I had trouble deciding what to wear. What to wear? That was an important question every morning. How to look better than anyone else without trying. Jeans were always the favorite to fall back on. The classic Levis were joined by new variations: stonewashed, baggies, pin-striped, and cropped to the ankle. Pants legs were tucked into short leather boots for the feel of the Russian tundra. However, not all approved. They don't look Russian — they look stupid, scowled Paul Self. I can't stand those little 'fairy boots.' Topsiders remained on the typical comfort-valuing foot, along with loafers and sneakers. For instance, sophisticated girls wore brightly colored high-heeled pumps, ignoring pain for style. Junior, Sabrena Breaux, often wore hot pink pumps. What to wear? was an anxiety on rainy days. Clever girls combined style and practicality on wet mornings. Sharon Racer, Michelle Westney, Liz Pitre, and Amy and Jennifer Dunn fought the drizzly drips with water retardent rain slickers. The most popular color combination was navy-blue and a bright green lining decorated with little whales. When there was nothing left to wear in the closet, many fell back on the ever-popular T-shirts and jerseys promoting school spirit. Guy Pujol's electric-blue Bucs T-shirt could always be counted to set the pace Friday as he dressed Buc style. 32 — Fashion BACK IN BLACK. Senior.

These intellectual exercises and their participants were hailed as prestigious and scholarly. These events brought the intelligent out to shine in all their radiance. English Quiz Bowl, held for the first time, turned out to be an activity that both the contestants and the audience enjoyed. Comparable to Trivial Pursuit, only with English-oriented questions, it consisted of four teams of seven people who together attempted to answer questions about grammar and literature. When some ?|uestions proved to be too difficult or the teams to answer, the audience was invited to guess. Wc came in last, but it was fun just to participate in it! remarked freshman Chris Rhamc. Added sophomore Lisa Miller, There were some questions about things I'd never heard of, but usually the seniors on the team knew those answers. Students journeyed to McNeese to participate in District Literary Rally, March 17. This was a competition where one student went to compete against other schools in an academic subject, ranging from Home Economics to Vocational Agriculture to Physics. The cream of the academic crop were out in full force. The waiting was the hardest part, claimed Sam Sonnier. Participants included: Ravin Agrawal, Pam Chozen, Doug Cochran, Lisa Comeaux, Susan Con-nella, Paul Cooper, Shawn Corkran, Mike Cox, Sylvia Duhon, David Fluegal, and Michelle Fontenot, (continued page 37 ...)

First and second place winners at district continued on to LSU to compete in State Literary Rally. As the contestants were weeded out, competition was stiffer. I didn't go to state expecting to win,” commented freshman Ravin Agrawal. Mostly. I thought it was an honor. But I was pleased that I did well (fourth).” Seven students, in fact, did well. Lisa Gray won First over-all in Bookkeeping, Sam Sonnier won second in Algebra I. Stephanie Chozcn, David Fluegal, and Tien Nguyen placed third in German 1. Biology, and French II, respectively. Ravin Agrawal placed fourth in French I and Lisa Comeaux, fifth in Advanced Math. On the evening of March 20, the school held its annual Talent Being a Due Show. Throughout the evening, many talented people performed, but a group of breakdanccrs, the Vipers, stole the show and won First place. Composed of Tyrone Fincher, Ricky Hawkins, Mike Johnson. Stewart LcBlanc, and London Rankins, they received a standing ovation for their routine performed to the song, Rockit.” Freshman Allison Miller claimed second place with her performance of an original musical composition. The singing duo of Jared Nelson and Kim Janes tied with Daphne Monier for third. Presented by the Senior class, it was attended by most of the student body. The Vipers were really good,” commented Leah LeBlanc. They deserved First place. Home Economics added a new twist to an old. established subject, performing a marriage ceremony and reception. Two students from each class were selected to become a bride and groom, while others played the parts of the attendants and guests. As varied as the letters from ”A to Z,” the activities may have seemed strange to some, but each one added a necessary ingredient. Each was a part of it all. RED OR GREEN LIGHT?

It’s Alla Part Of — 37 Sports Varsity Unknowns School sports arc always in the limelight, right.-' Everyone follows football, basket-bail. track, baseball and tennis. Hut how many people go out and watch a sailing regatta or a bicycle race.' With a lack of spectator interest, the weekend athletes must use their performance alone to judge their abilities. In the church basketball league, competitiveness and rivalries run rampant. The 15-team league was the subject of many a discussion during school hours. Numerous bluff bets were thrown into the pot as the confident players tried to psyche out their opponents. Early Saturday mornings are usually spent sleeping or watching TV. but for Several students it means heading, kicking, and scoring. Players in the Youth Soccer League were kept busy over the weekends attending soccer tournaments across the state. The travel is a part of the game. like, practice, it's a necessity. We wouldn't get anywhere without it. emphasized Vincent Salvador. When sun and surf are mixed with sails and speed, an ex- hilarating combination is formed. If I go out sailing before I enter a regatta. I don't consider that practicing. It's just having fun. That's why I enter races, because I don't feel any pressure during the competition, explained Craig Powell. Filling the alleys over the weekend with barrels of balls, members of the local junior bowling league kept the pins falling. Talent did not come automatically as the junior bowlers spent several hours a week honing their abilities. I go out most afternoons and practice because 1 want to be the best bowler 1 can be. Lots of people think bowling isn't a sport, but it takes a great deal of hard work and determination, not to mention skill and coordination, to become just a fair bowler. explained Janette Burgin. For the varsity unknowns, there arc no gigantic pep rallies, no special presents, and no extra praise. A T-shirt here or a small trophy there, is all the recognition they get. But for the week-end athlete, the self-satisfaction is enough. TENNIS ANYONE? Senior. Jordan Harlow, play' a few- vets of tennis w ith a friend and awaits a serve. SPINING MY WHEELS. One freshman.

The bathroom was packed with them elbowing their way toward a vantage point in front of the mirror — center and middle. Books tottered on the edge of sinks, temporarily forgotten, as the primpers set to work. They exchanged combs, lipsticks, and compacts. Two shared a mirror as one girl reapplied mascara. The other powdered her nose. All repaired the ravages of time etched on their faces after an hour of lecture. Innocent by-standers weren't spared. It was inconvenient whenever I tried to wash my hands, complained Penny Junker. 1 got my eyes gouged out with combs, my ribs were bruised by elbows, and 1 inhaled dangerous quantities of perfume and hairspray. Boys were somewhat puzzled at primpers' behaviors. I dated a primper, said Paul Cormier. ''It used to bother me the way she always had her mirror out. But. it's like everything else — you get used to it. I hate the fluorescent lights here, complained Becky Masters. They make me look like I'm dead.

A night when 'formal attire' was requested. The juniors had a busy afternoon on April 28, decorating before rushing home to dress in their finest. When they left, the Country Club had been transformed into an antebellum dream to go with the theme of Southern Fantasies. And that night when the club filled again, it looked like a scene from an old Civil War movie. Great transformations had occurred in the time since school was let out on Friday. The boys were decked out in tuxedoes and shiny shoes. They were cavalier as they added canes, top-hats, cummerbands. tails and a few even added glacier glasses. The girls were Scarlett O'Hara doubles in lacy, hoop-skirts, and parasols. The more daring ventured forth in vampy, lowcut strapless for-mals in dramatic shades. Prom-goers helped pack restaurants all over town. Some couples were even sighted in strange territory. We had to go to where Kenny works because his boss had to talk to him, explained Sheila Stevenson. We went to the Charles Cinema in our formals! Jerry Busby enjoyed his night out. I had a good time.

A ceremony in which they would leave their pasts and childhood behind to start to work on doing what would be needed for When I Grow Up. Senior year was the time when realizations began to sink in. Although many followed shortened class schedules, they still worried about class rank, applications for colleges and scholarships. Though caps, gowns and invitations were ordered late in the fall, the impact of what they were for didn't sink in until they received their orders in April. It dawned on me that I would be graduating soon when I got this big box full of announcements. Charles Cart was undecided about his plans. but he joked, I’ll take time out for four or five months to sleep and then I'll go to college. Or maybe I'll go to college for four or five months and then sleep for the rest of my life. I'm looking forward to graduating. said Gloria Miau who was more serious about her plans. I'm going into nursing. I am a little nervous about college because it is a big change from high school. Allison Hemker was one of the seniors who felt mixed emotions about graduating.

It was up to clubs and squads to focus on what they wanted to do and set out to getting it done. They became their own bosses as they watched their ideas burst into the full bloom of reality.

All the cheerleaders, JV and Varsity included, ended up first in competition at the Cal-Cam Fair.

In the next few years that ornament will be growing in-toa full-fledged Christmas tree due to the large freshman classes entering high school. For the past two years incoming classes have averaged over three hundred students. In my freshman year, the band was so big and then in the beginning of my sophomore year membership began to fall off, divulged co-drum major Pcggi Tucker. But now the band looks like it's starting to grow again,” she said. As football season neared, the band members remembered the hours they spent under the hot summer sun drilling, drilling and drilling some more. Saxophonist. Greg Grandy. commented It makes you feel good when you turn out a good half-time show because of all the time we spent trying to get it down pat. After the season, the band geared up for spring concerts. Their performances were a 365 degree turn from their halftime shows, but the musicians talents still shined through. The groups also received excellents at the I-aGrange and Sulphur festivals. Whatever the pace, wherever the place, for 365 days a year, the Band of Blue strutted its stuff, marching to the beat of a different drum. “Our band never stops working.

At pep rallies, eight girls in white cheered loudly for the school team. These squads weren't the main attraction, but they sometimes stole the show. I hated it when someone made a mistake, but it's just something you have to live with, sighed Stephanie Dubca. The messups were just something that endeared them to their audience. Hardly anyone other than the team and their parents every really kept track of what was going on in junior varsity, but the J.V. cheerleaders did. No one pays attention to how the junior varsity is doing, but we do, expressed An-nie Bennerscheidt. They know that someone cares, because we're always there. My favorite part of the pep rallies is the performance of the J.V. cheerleaders. declared freshman, David Fluegal. Of course, it wasn't all embarrassment, obscurity, or mistakes. The flag and rifle squad could beam with pride when they received a 1 at competition in Sulphur and a 2 rating at the tough MBA in Houston.

But even with all the pressure, it was a blast. When the pep rallies were changed from first hour to after school, the cheerleaders took it in stride. I really enjoyed doing afternoon pep rallies. declared Kim Chaisson. “Our sponsor. Miss Reed, said the Besse Board may put them after school next year anyway.

With most organizations, money is needed to make things run smoothly. The chorus was no exception. In early October, they sold cookies and raised $2500 for new music to use during the coming year. We sold more cookies than I was expecting. emphasized chorus member Jocelyn Bauer. But the main purpose of chorus was to sing. Every hour of the day. a different group of melody makers took to class to sing their hearts out. Class was really my favorite part of chorus, enthused Becky Sanchez. That was where we learned how to do everything. The chorus, a group of dedicated vocalists, worked hard through the year to show everyone how good they were. Music, however, still was the main reason they belonged. The chorus was a bunch of music makers forever living in La La Land. — CHOZEN “Chorus is a break for me.

Starting Tradition STUDENT COUNCIL There are those who say money isn't everything, but you couldn't prove it by the Preshman and Sophomore Student Councils. Their year began, highlighted and ended with fund raising quests for the almighty dollar. Both groups worked jointly to sponsor the council banquet, but the sophomores put most of their pennies aside for financing next year's Junior-Scnoir From.

Overseeing all this was the Executive Student Council, the ruling body of the Senate. Though they dealt mostly with the by-laws and Senate, they did coordinate the activities during Homecoming week and Save Our Sweetheart Drive. Throughout the year, these councils have worked to make the year memorable for the student body. These people weren't only keeping traditions; they were making them. “We put on Homecoming and the Talent Show. We also gave a lump sum of $5000 to the computer fund as a senior gift.

French Club, nonexistant for many years, was reborn this year as club president Stephanie Chozen attempted to reorganize it. We had a lot of problems, like having no money. We had to start over from the ground up. but with all our hard workers. I think we've done pretty well. Latin Club was made up of dedicated Latin scholars from Latin I and II.

For raising funds, they sold chocolate chip cookies to a hungry student body. Being in FHA is fun! enthused Christie Zumalt. It's the most fun I've ever had in school. FBLA, comprised of the business-minded around the school, attended conferences at the state and district levels. They also made their annual trip to Regina Caeli, where they distributed candy to the children on Halloween. Art Club encompassed many of the upcoming artists around the school. They had a big year, doing everything from redecorating the commons to selling candygrams at Christmas. These clubs were formed for learning by learners.

Barbe's offense didn't have any trouble getting uncorked as IX-marie and David Monccaux combined for 182 yards on the ground. Mark Wegener included a 40-yard field goal in the BuC scoring binge. Barbe paid a visit to seventh-ranked Lake Charles-Boston to open their bid for district. The game turned into a defensive tug of war as neither offense could get untracked. The Cougars claimed a 7-0 lead, but the Bucs fought back to pull within 7-6. Late in the game Barbe drove deep into enemy territory, but the clock ran out on the first loss of the season. Barbe had its back up against the wall as they traveled to Sulphur to take on the Tors. Against the backdrop of Matt Walker Stadium, the Bucs turned a season-ending disaster into a morale-building triumph. Going into the fourth quarter, the surprising Tors held a 20-14 advantage on the Bucs and were driving for another score. Barbe's defense came up with an important turnover and things started to look up. It was shortlived. though, with a winning 19-13 score. SPECIAL TEAMING.

Robert McCarty filled in for the injured David Monceaux at fullback. The Cougars broke out for a 7-0 lead, but Barbe wasn’t dead yet. They rebounded in the second half and came up with a 13-7 win.

The determining points came when the Bucs punched in a short run and held the 7-0 score till the end. With the victory over the Tors. Barbe clinched the district championship, so the final game should have been only a formality. It probably would have been if it had been against anyone except LaGrange. The game stretched on for four, humdrum quarters in a 13-13 tie. Going into overtime, the excitement finally began. The Bucs got the ball first, but failed to put the ball over the line. Luckily, the Gators couldn't put it in the endzone either. The second overtime was an instant replay. The third proved to be a charm, and the Bucs strutted off the field. — CART BUCS ON TOP.

Usually they've been toiling on the junior varsity and freshman teams for the past two years. As J.V. and freshman players learn the basics of the game by being the dummy squads. These squads are who the upperclassmen tackle during drills. It's not that bad because when we're seniors we'll be able to gang up on the underclassmen, too, grinned freshman Faron Owen. The junior varsity finished the season with an impressive 9-2 record. Our J.V. can hold their heads high because of the supreme effort they gave over the past season. commented Coach Cespiva. For the freshman, the drills, agilities, and games arc just starting. As they continually and understanding of the game will also mature. With an overall record of 1-4 there wasn't much cause for celebration. But during the freshman season it's not how many times they won and lost but how they developed and what skills they mastered. The freshmen have three more seasons to develop into a winning football team. I'm sure that if they take every season with as much enthusiasm as they spent on this one we're bound to end up on top. remarked Cespiva. The J.V. and freshman teams may not have had as many flashes of brilliance as the varsity. And. they may not have been a little less disciplined than the varsity. They may not have won as many games as the older squad. But they were definitely taking the right steps to building that winning tradition. TAKING A BREAK.

The freshman team started off a successful career with their 10-7 record for their first season at Barbc. These players were the ones who were going to establish themselves in the future as the varsity. We played well this season and the future looks bright. claimed Chris Brown. They. too. busied themselves with practice in an effort to constantly improve. The practice is tough, but we get better from it. said Tommy LeBlanc.

Even with these •'aluable players, the team was not able to .xat or even regain their second place finish in district from last year, ending up the season in third place.

We all had particular talents but since we didn't utilize them and make everyone work together, it was as if everyone was playing one on one. Coach Ronnie Odom wasn't eager to talk about the team. I was disappointed in the girls' performance this season. They wouldn't work well together and that made a lot of difference. I don't have any additional comment. said Coach Odom, and then added. I was also deeply disappointed in the attendance at the games and the fact that the newspaper never had any write-ups on the team's progress all season. Maybe student interest would have improved the team's over-all performance. Maybe not. The Lady Bucs played a total of twenty-seven games and ended the season with a record of 14-13.

They won one game with Sulphur. 46-44, but lost two others to the Tors. They beat Lake Charles-Boston in two games, but lost in the playoffs for second place. 54-57. Nevertheless the team managed to corner third in district. They had suffered their own problems along with having to deal with the strategies of their oppoents.

Upf Up, and Away With Lady Buc Spirits as Team Caps District ate in August, before anyone had started talking about football, the Lady Buc volleyball team was quietly impressing people from one end of the state to the other. Throughout the season the team dominated their opponents, allowing only a few to gain the upper hand in a match. The Lady Bucs played a match as a complete team, not letting only one player stand in the spotlight. Senior co-captain Edan Driscoll added, When one of us gets hurt there is always someone else there who can take their place. The Lady Bucs swept through the district tournament without losing a match to their opponents. It all fell into place, said Coach Fuselier. After the kind of season we had, the tournament was a great ending. But it wasn't the end. The team went on to defeat Abramson of New Orleans in state playoffs but fell in the second round to South Terrebonne. The New Orleans area teams were the toughest because of the talent they have to choose from and their experience. explained Linda Gary, captain.

But according to Stephens, it wasn't that hard to go from teaching to coaching. I coach a softball team during the summer. he explained.

There was no accompanying boys' team, so they received all the attention. As with all sports, hard work and dedication were as important as skill and talent. Hard practice for the team was necessary if they wanted a successful season. Many afternoons were spent in the hot sun perfecting their throwing, catching, and hitting. It was hard to practice, commented senior Gwen Mire. But we had to. if we wanted to perform well. The hard practice paid off during the season. With a 19-9 record for the season, they showed everyone that they weren't just a bunch of girls playing around. In district competition, they claimed second place, with a 4-2 record.

But. a young runner's fancy turns to thoughts of track meets. This year's team was no different as it geared up for a myriad of meets. The track team competed in five meets this season. They came in fifth in their own Buc Relays, took fourth in the Cowboy Relays, and seventh in the Walker Relays. The Bucs also took home two first place trophies at the Ram Relays and the Bronco Relays. These meets helped us build up our confidence as we moved closer to the district meet. With a good showing in the others our chances at district aren't too bad,” explained Coach Wayne Cespiva. However it wasn't to be (his year as the Bucs came in a disappointing fourth. Three tracksters outdid themselves as they qualified for the regional track meet. Robert Sometimes Seems a Mile Long McCarty in the pole vault.

But the girls' track team had a harder time with it this season than in past ones. A title in the state was unattainable for a variety of reasons. The team lost a member that had kept them far in front in past years. They were unable to make it to state because not many made it to regionals. I've been in track since I was a freshmanCheyl Shavers explained her devotion to the sport. I'm the only senior who was running, so when the younger girls complained I could understand why. When I started I didn't know what was going on. but I do now. I love track because I'm do- ing it for my school, my team, and myself. And Coach Combs is the greatest coach. We all love him to pieces because he's so patient and understanding with everyone. The team worked long, hard hours in preparation for each meet. They often arrived before school to practice at seven o'clock and stayed after school until four-thirty. Track consisted of more than just running. The Lady Bucs participated in everything from discus, and low hurdles to the high jump and the 200 meter dash. I threw the discus, explained Melissa Ellis who placed first in district. It was like throwing a heavy frisbee. She explained why the team didn't do as well as in recent seasons. Some of the most talented girls either had graduated or moved away. Cheyl Shavers and I were the only seniors left on the team. We also didn't go to as many meets this year which was a big factor because we didn't have to practice as much. If you want to join track, you have to be aware it's a very demanding sport, warned Lynette Cormier. Coach Combs can find talent that you didn't know you had.” Even though the team didn't manage to get another district championship. they weren't discouraged. Their attitude was worthy of the greatest reputation. AHEAD OF THE PACK. Kerri Jacobi, sophomore paces herself our front during a distance race. CONCENTRATION is the name of the game.

But at Barbe. golf and tennis were sports played by teams who were more interested in the thrill of victory than in business prospects on the courts. The tennis team swung into a successful season playing tournaments at St. Louis. Sulphur, and DeRidder. Their chief claim to fame, however, came in the regional playoffs where the team captured the title. The boys tied for first with LaGrange. The girls' team claimed first place with an amazing performance. Qualification for the state tournament, held May 3 and 4 in New Orleans, was the main event at the regional tournament held at Barbe in late April.

Seniors Kim Hebert and Amanda Lcmlcy pare schedules. With the cut in school funding, it was assumed that the school system would deteriorate. The community started to write off the quality of the children's education. But they were too quick to judge. Although funds were slashed, the minimal requirements for graduation and college applications were raised. Calcasieu Parish made a uniform grading scale and final exams were reinstated. Even though getting an A was harder, students still opted for college-prep classes: chemistry, physics, calculus, and biochemistry. The classes were tough but it wasn't always grind. The English department, influenced by the popularity of trivia games such as Isaac Asimov's Super Quiz and Trivial Pursuit, formed the English Quiz Bowl.

In the beginning, only the knocking knees and trembling hands of the term paper-searching students could be seen and heard in the library.

The thought of having a biology test, geometry exam, and an English Quiz, all on the same day, was enough to make the average student sick. Of course, tests had a purpose; to see if one was learning what one was supposedly learning. However, if one hasn't learned anything, one had to spend the night before the test studying what one should already know. And somehow, what is on the test is never what you've studied. No matter how hard I study, sighed freshman Robbie Firaro, “I never study what I need to know. Claimed Stephen Kitt. If we never had tests.

Those excited, smiling faces and squeals of delight are figments of everyone's imagination. — CHOZFN The. ROMAN EN 2 Drachma CAesnRAVl PLAYING THE PART.

To some, an afternoon of scraping gum off the- floors may noi stem enjoyable but Freshman Doug Mcklland and Sean Atkins had more fun than they bargained On the first day of school you could already tell who was who. The freshmen looking around trying not to look lost under their pile of books. The sophomores figuring they had almost everything figured out. The juniors suddenly taking an almost violent dislike for the younger classmen. The seniors and their relief about not having any of that to worry about. We all knew that school would be a little different from the year before, but it was more than what we expected. We started school earlier than before, but we got out sooner. The classrooms either had too few chairs or too many pupils. A newly-installed computer system determined how warm we should be. It must have gotten us confused with penguins. When we realized that we were being controlled by outside forces, we decided to be remembered as more than statistics on a government chart. We showed our uniqueness in skits for civics and speech, even in morning an. nouncements. Listening to the campaign to Save America's Sweetheart, or another segment in the Saga of Karen and Norma brightened up first hour. By year's end, after the initial burst of spring fever, we realized that we were united. Despite all the little setbacks we realized that we ended up on top. — MARSHALL CHOW TIME.

Let me have some gum. That was the standard rcportoire of the moochcr. Moochcrs. They were usually good, close friends who didn't hesitate to take advantage of another friend's generosity or good fortune. If I need anything from anyone I just ask,” Eric Tompson explained his fool-proof technique. And a smile gets a long way. And if even that doesn't work — I grab and run. The most notorious moochers who roamed the hallways in search of goods and services included the likes of Eric Thompson. Matt Beniot, Andre Abadie, Craig Richardson, Jeff Hamic, Kim Martin, Jan Gwatney, Kcri Forbcss, Denise Bridges. Bethyn Dawson, Bart Ezell. Gillis Morin, and Matt Wallace. They were the most famous, but anyone could plead guilty to an act of mooching at one time or another. Whether it was begging for a french fry or 25c or having a pencil sharpened, the ability to be a First-class moocher was in anyone's power. Hunger, it seemed, was a trait common to. and endured by all moochers. The sight of gum before lunch could spark off a small-scale riot in a previously tranquil classroom. Most people could afford to be generous to the starv-ing moocher. I don't mind lending things,” commented Bobby Bullard. I like to get what I lent back, but not when it comes to food. Then I just want to get a favor at a later time usually the next day. Steve Hooter had his own method of dealing with moochers. If someone wants something from me and I'm in a good mood, I'll say 'OK.' But. if I'm in a bad mood. I'll go. 'Here take it! Take it!'” No one loses either way. Breaux. David Breaux, Kevin Breaux.

Like a cork out of a shaken bottle, eightccn-ycar-olds everywhere leap head first into adulthood. With a skip in their step, the legals march with heads held high into long-forbidden places. But always keeping in mind that a little-discretion goes a long way. Getting a license at fifteen and R-rated movies at seventeen, it seems to take some of the punch away from the big 1-8. Even though, saying those two magical words I'm eighteen will get you farther than any license. Those words will also add more responsibility to your life. Boys become men as they register for the draft and girls mature into women as puppy love turns into a commitment. And all eighteen-year-olds get the right to use or abuse their voting privileges as they sec fit. After all the panics, turning eighteen turned out to be more than a big Celebration, explained Mike Gabbert. As the big day comes closer the hype builds and builds until it shadows the actual event. Larry Duchman confirms, Since the celebrating begins a week in advance of the birthday, it may pass without hardly a notice. Coming of age in today's society may be one of the hardest things we do in our lives. Maturity comes hard and fast for the young caterpillars of today. Watch out for dragonflies, . . . somebody's watching you. — CART EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE. Yearbook class gave Rhonda Gauihrcaux a surprise cake (o help celebrate her eighteenth birthday. Clarke.

Don't even think about Friday, it s countless light-years away. Mondays, usually forty-eight hours long, have two distinguishing qualities: fear and panic. The fear of the impending day of regulation-filled surroundings at school and the panic of turning in the blank sheet of paper that was supposed to be your homework. These, along with added depression and that traditional lousy-weather make Mondays as welcome as Armageddon. The advent of a new week of school begins with wake up calls and ends with the next Monday already on your tail. After two days of sleeping late, that alarm clock is such a welcome sound. 1 could scream. It always rings louder on Monday, quipped senior, Laurette Stevens. Dreary” describes the monotony of Monday weather. Clouds and rain are staples. Seeing the sun on this day is as common as seeing Halley's Comet. It's bad enough we have to get up early, but to have such bad weather, it's just too much,” griped senior, Jimmy Terrell. The final, and probably the worst attribute of Mondays is having to attend school. Summer Mondays aren't bad. School is bad enough on Fridays, but on Mondays it's totally unbearable, complained Cammie Cart. In spite of all the depression, and despair, there are those who manage to rise above it all, like Charles Vernier. A super cool senior, he woke up one muggy January Monday at 7:45, pulled on his jeans and dashed into first hour seconds before the tardy bell. Quite pleased with his timing, he failed to notice that the jeans he had put on were his mother's Gloria Vanderbilts. His Monday went down the tube but he sure made everyone else's. — CART Gabbert, Michael Galipeau, Ann Marie Gary, Jolene Gary, Linda Gaspard.Greg Gaspard, Pam Gauthreaux, Rhonda Grandy, Greg Granger.

Even to the innocent eye. they were easy to spot, lending support in pouring and humid heat, freezing cold and blowing winds, they were there ... those wonderful, loyal, lovable fans. Parents, of course, could always be counted on for support. When sons or daughters were out playing their hearts out. parents were in the stands yelling their hearts out. My mom went to nearly every basketball game we played, informed freshman Sam Hill. It was great to know that someone Cared that we were playing.” Some parents went above and beyond the call of duty. While they had children that played a sport, that was not the only spor- ting events they attended. Skip Rogers family could be seen watching most games, even though their son was not always playing. Mr. and Mrs. Cart were visible at every football and baseball game, cheering the team onto victory. There were some people, however, who will be remembered. Bill Riviere even had his own fan club. At the varsity basketball games, a group of enthusiastic people could be seen cheering for Bill, whose main position was on the bench. Fans were dedicated to giving the school team the encouragement to drive them on to victory. They made the victories sweeter, and the losses less bitter. They showed that, in any sport, that all athletes need athletic supporters — CHOZEN Guillory, Kevin Haley. Vivian Hamic, Jeff Hanks. Pauline Hantz, Jonathan Harlow.

It may not look like a Mensa reunion, but. at least, it disproves the theory of teenage non-involvement in current affairs. One of the topics under scrutiny was the surprise U.S. invasion of the small island of Grenada. 1900 Marines ousted the Cuban-support government in four days of fighting and the bulk of the men were home for Christmas. The real hotbed. Lebanon, headlined when the Israelis forced Yasser Arafat out of Beirut and President Reagan sent Marines in as pan of an international peacekeeping force. The Marines didn't help any, all it did was kill some more Americans, concluded Laura Duchmann. A truck exploded in the compound killing 259 Marines. Meanwhile back on the homefront another battle was heating up. This one between exgovernor Edwin Edwards and incumbent David Treen. As the November voting date neared, the money kept mounting. When the dust had cleared a record 20 million dollars had been spent and Edwards was the winner, gaining over 60 percent of the vote. “He won because he related more to the people, they could understand him. explained Pam Gaspard. Relations between the U.S. and Russia fell apart again when a Korean plane carrying over 200 passengers unexplaincdly flew into Soviet air space and was coldly shot down by the Russians. But, the Soviet-American picture changed suddenly when President Yuri Andropov died. Even though the Russians quickly moved Knonstatin Chernenko into the powerful position. Locally, all was not a bed of roses cither. Karl Pcltz, water company chairman, resigned when it was discovered that he had spent $2-1,000 on travel expenses in the past year. As a result, the company put new restrictions in the rule book. The entire community was saddened when a security guard at one of the picket sights was shot. This ballooned into U.S. Senate hearings on labor relations in the area and led to the rc-opening of the FBI investigation of local labor unions. It was a year of sadness and joy, turmoil and peace, and continual change. We changed with it and were changed by it. Alternately participating and watching, we weren't always sure how we felt about it. But we knew without doubt it was our year. — CART. KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES.

Every holiday was celebrated in a certain way. Parties were the favorite methods to celebrate. So when seniors had to face the fact that there wouldn't be as many parties in the future, they knew they needed to have fun while they still had time. The year's end was the best time for the seniors to frolic. The parties gave time to let off some steam before having to deal with breaking away from a familiar way of life. The parties could be the last chance for get-togethers with the whole gang before everyone goes their own way. Invitations started passing hands. Invitations to everything from private luncheons and dinners to casual pool parties and crawfish boils. Clubs held year-end banquets as senior members said goodbye to lower-class members and sponsors. Joey Oxley knew exactly whom to invite to his party. My senior party is going to be mostly for my close friends. And if anyone crashes it. I'll crash his face. Or GOSSIP? These three senior girls pick a quiet comer of their party to have a chat. maybe I'll crash their pat instead. The ingredients that make up successful senior party include: i entertaining theme (Hiring a clov or a magician is not a good ide; plenty of food (Try to avoid tl elaborate six-course dinner servt by the butler), lots of music (B don't dig out the old Donny O mond albums), and all friends at! acquaintances. I've been to a bunch of lu1 cheons. related Cynthia Jenkir They're really interesting becau you get to have a lot of foods th you've never eaten or even heal of before. And you have to be res ly polite and know which fork i use. The conversation at the parti was limited to a few main topid senior trips, colleges, and care plans. The same questions coui be heard in practically every coi versation. Are you going away f college? Have you received ar financial aid? What scholarshij have you received? What do yc think it will be like to live awi from home?

Possibly the first panics held for seniors was Senior Night at Astroworld. There seniors rode all the rides with seniors from Louisiana and Texas. Many returned home wearing Huey l wis and the News-Sports ’84 concert T-shirts. Seniors enjoyed both giving and attending parties. I don't know which I like better, wondered Kim Stagg. I like giving parties, but when I attend one, I don't have any responsibilities. The myriad of parties got a bit confusing for some seniors. They often had to decide between at least two parties on one day. I’m YOU'RE IN MY SUN! Senior Sandy Menard get some ray while she cries 10 quench her thirst in the hot sun. DUCK DUCK GOOSE. Senior sit in a circle and devour pound and pounds of crawfish at the Fisherman's Club. running out of clothes to wear! wailed Norma Welch. Senior parties provided the last chance to party hard before graduation. The process of breaking away had already started. Seniors had their future plans all worked out. As they stepped out of the family nest, they left behind their childhood and adolescence. As they prepared to leave they affected everyone around them. So feverishly delighted were they with breaking away everyone else wanted to join them. But their time will come. As the seniors went in different directions, they began to realize how they had left certain obligations behind. Except obligations to themselves. — MARSHALL SMITH, KAREN: FHA 12; Chotu 9-12 SMITH.

No, not the one of toast a and coffee fame, we're talk-■■r' ing major road congestion, here. Barbe’s stalled mass of metal has grown to harrowing proportions. Some even rival Houston's legendary stack-ups. The problem isn't just the amount of cars on the road, it's the lack of exits, or. rather, lack of use of them that's at the heart of the problem. If everyone wouldn't use West McNeese, we could leave a lot faster. contended junior, Eric Bohdan. Seemingly oblivious to other available exits, drivers chose various methods to fight the fits of boredom. From the guy with the amplified Heavy Metal to the two girls trading gossip at fifty paces. the methods were as varied as the people employing them. The occasional blare of a horn from a frustrated driver started a symphony of honks echoing for minutes. Sometimes, the patience withered and a daring move over the median was angrily executed. I've even seen some smartaleck's maneuver down the shoulder to avoid getting stuck in the traffic, added Shawn Bohannon.

Yes, you heard right, the cafeteria, the place where all students swear they never eat. Being the butt of every food joke told at school, you'd think the place would be empty come lunchtime. Not true, though. The pledge of absolution barely lasts through third hour, when rumbling stomachs drown out the teacher's voice. By the time fourth hour arrives, stomachs have added an amplifier and the clocks have come to a complete stop. The lucky few who live through fourth hour need speed to make it WHERE'S THE LINE? With all the cutting in line, Jimmy Phillips is not sure where the line begins — or ends. to the serving line and actually finish their meals.

The food wouldn't be so bad if the workers would cut down on the smells coming from there before lunch.” After the meal is over, those who partook leave a sigh and a thank you to their maker. Their stomachs full, smiles on their faces, they head to the Commons, to stop in mid-step. Turning, they make a mad dash, hoping to be first, but ending up last where all loyal cafeteria eaters go.

No matter how difficult the assignment was, they'd make the best grade and have it finished ten minutes after it was assigned. School was one of the most important things in their lives. They lived to work, to succeed, to overachieve ... and then to complain about how bad their grades probably were. These workaholics, though they didn't mean to be. annoyed everyone around them with constant tales of woe about test grades. The continual cry of I probably flunked it” aggravated even the most nonmotivated student. Everyone knew the bookworms had been studying for the assignemnt for the past three weeks. Really, I only study for about half an hour every night, explained freshman Ravin Agrawal. People think I study for hours. Serious workaholics, really true overachievers, were sparse however. There was only one or two. sometimes three, in each class. But they put the entire class in jeopardy on occasions when teachers would have dropped test grades except for that one perfect paper. There's a guy in my English class who always knows the answers, commented Dwayne Heard. When the teacher asks if anyone had a perfect paper after we finish a test, he always raises his hand. Sometimes these students were the object of merciless teasing. Many people took great pride in making a better grade than one of the workaholics. But they grew thick skins and laughed off the jokes. People probably tease us because they're jealous, decided junior, Jim Tarver. It doesn't bother me. Dedicated to being educated to the max, the workaholics have no trouble getting into college.

For 2 weeks a student is drilled on all the ins and outs of the sport. All this convinces the parents it's time for that license.

Mr. East liked to spend his weekends fishing, boating, and hunting. I like to shoot fish, he joked about the two-day respites. The school secretaries were equally enthusiastic about the weekends. I play any kind of card game, answered Mrs. Lucille Gauthreaux. Sometimes I go fishing with my husband. I like to work in my yard and I have some pretty rose bushes. I go to New Orleans to visit my sister during Mardi Gras every year. Sometimes we go to Houston to visit my husband's sister. The faculty's favorite pastimes seemed to be centered around the family and being outdoors. They could get into the swing of the weekend as easily as students. So although teachers and pupils sometimes were struggling in battles of the wills, they could still be in agreement on one fact: Thank God it's Friday! — MARSHALL THE TRUE SPONSOR. Diane Goodacrc collapses after a draining day of supervising the preparations for Prom. TWIDDLING HER THUMBS. Teachers were required to stay on campus until 3:50 despite the earlier time for first hour. Phyllis Wilson anxiously awaits the hell to go home. CHECKING THE TIME. Margaret Lundy synchronises her watch w ith the school clock so she won't lose any time in getting home. Faculty — 171 B I exicirrivi STUOINT COUNCIL - Fn� Allivon •� Su“ CoaotlU.

Pools, parties, and picnics. right' Wrong, for some students the school year has yet to end. in fact, it is just beginning. Such was the case of Tammy Perry. Erika Garrett. Harvey Hutchinson, and 167 other summer school students. Prom fall to spring we struggle through school only to have it start all over again May «). the first Monday after school is out. sighed Dina Sonnier, senior. Instead of going to the beach along with the rest of the crowd, these students had to spend that time sitting within the confining walls of a classroom. The would-be fun in the sun becomes the gloom of the room as the summer schooler tries to concentrate on school work while keeping their minds from wandering to thoughts of the outside world. It doesn't bother you until you realize that you should be outside having fun somewhere, said senior. Amanda Armstrong. Being cooped up in the classroom for the better part of the day kept some of the girls from getting their summer status symbols, suntans. Without their sunshine quotas, the students resorted to unorthodox ways of getting their bodies roasted to a mild burn. Coming home from school, students practically did a bump and grind in the car. not wasting any time in getting to that frying pan in the sun. otherwise known as the patio. Meanwhile, other summer schoolers dressed as Nanook of the North to keep the vacationers from seeing their bleached skin. They kept up the disguise until they could find the time to take a swing by the beach to catch some quick rays. This is a ritual handed down from summer schooler to summer schooler throughout the season. This year, though, there was a new twist to the old game, as Barbe students went to the I.aGrangc campus for their summer school courses. Not having to go to the same old classrooms was a nice change, even though I got lost the first time I tried to find my new class. admitted sophomore Peter Eisen. As summer came to an end. vacationing students began to eagerly await the ringing of the school bell. That is. except for the summer schoolers, who winced at the thought because they never had the chance to miss it in the first place. — Cart.

Every Morning yawn. The word stretches before one's eyes. No worries — just pure, unadulterated sleep. Quite often, however, sleep is interrupted by school. There are quite a few who are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed come Monday morning. However, for the many stumbling around helplessly at 8:15 a.m., trying to become part of the real world, visions of having stayed too late at the fair haunt every effort. Perhaps, if school started later, people would feel more awake throughout the day. 8:30 to 2:30 would be ideal, decided Mrs. Donna Bell. That would leave about an hour for every class. What about the ones who don't recover? Imagine the embarrassment of being awakened from a deep slumber in the middle of a lecture on A Tale of Two Cities. As David Burge related, It wasn't anything. I was just sitting there and suddenly, a few minutes later, I heard Mrs. Hall's voice calling, David ... David and then I woke up.” What he failed to mention was that the class was in absolute tears for five minutes after. But loss of sleep can't always be attributed to heavy partying. School activities, such as homework, football and basketball or band also contribute. The band was out on the practice field every morning to perfect their routines and music. The football and basketball teams stayed before and after school to improve their game and come up with a winning season. Even those students who went to the weeknight games wouldn't get home until 12:30. After the game, I got home late and had to get up the next morning at 5:45 and go to Austin which took 6 hours. And all for a football game, said Steven Fetzer. And let s not forget about the early morning free enterprise students. They have to get up fairly early in order to make the class on time, which starts at 7:05 every morning for 3 six weeks. But any way, creatures of the night, victims of the morning, wake up and face the music! Have a nice day! Good morning America, and the world! — Chozen FINISHING HOMEWORK in class became routine for student like Shawn Mouser, junior, who fell victims of Mr. Guillory's Early Morning Free Enterprise class.

The Beat Went On Dccdlc dcedlc dec, dccdlc dccdle dec, sang sophomore Alan Dickerson, as he watched a group of a few people passing around a case of a new tape. He peered perplexedly at the picture, the cover of a Culture Club album. Boy George? he inquired. You like Boy George? He dresses funny. This thought was shared by many throughout the year. Oh, he's rtal cute, groaned freshman Guy Pujol. Take a quality group like Alabama and there's no comparison. For the year in music, variety seemed to be the word. Not that all things changed. Some details are permanent and predictable. Like the fact people wearing cowboy hats listen to Hank Williams, Jr., and the girl in your English class with the orange hair and dark glasses worshipped Johnny. Freshman Art Aducci was easily identified as a Dcf Leppard fanatic; pins and T-shirts adorned with the groups' name were a major part of his wardrobe. I went to one of their concerts during the summer. Art confirmed. It was great! I was in the fourth row! Another big favorite was the popular-with-girls Duran Duran.” With classic good looks and songs like Rio” and Union of the Snake, they were heard often in the Commons, where KBIU reigned. Two of the biggest acts of the year had to be the Police and Micheal Jackson. You could ask nearly anyone what the best album was and they would say 'Thriller or Synchronicity. The Police had three high hitting singles and Every Breath You Take” was the number one song of 1983. Thriller” had a total of six huge hits and Billie Jean was the biggest. Popular radio stations were B95 (featuring the Morning Wakeup Service), various, rarely-caught Houston stations such as KLOL and KKBQ, and the all-time favorite KBIU. KZOM, 104'A was also extremely popular. Unfortunately, on Janaury 31. the station mysteriously went off the air, and when it returned it was no longer the same format, but Audio Sominex; easy listening. My favorite station is KLOL, but I can never catch it, so I listen to B95, stated junior Dawn Huhn. The music and its stars may have changed, but the song remains the same. — CHOZEN Good Luck Class of ’84 From “GONZO” PROPERTIES coyMmcumimuTAumvicts W. BRENT LUMPKIN P.O.

TUMMY TALK Visions of french fries, hamburgers, hot fudge sundaes, nachos, pizza ... The hour before lunch and the class started squirming, stomachs began growling in unison, and vision was hazy. The hunger pangs are universal. I start craving strange foods,” related Timmy Ory. Hamburgers, watermelon, lime jello — anything.” Hunger pangs hurt, complained Maria Col-letta. My stomach is always growling when the room is completely silent. I start to crave pizza. But it’s an hour until lunch. I just sit there in Latin and die, complained Tracy Kircus. I’m always hungry in there and I start having trouble concentrating. Some took their hunger pangs in stride. I just leave with the MCDiner's Club for lunch to get a hamburger, smiled Karen Green with the air of a person who can solve her own problems. Hunger pangs are unpleasant in class when little can be done to lessen them, but they are easily sated when out on the town. All that is needed is a vehicle, equally starving friends, and some cash. Whether it was a passion for gumbo, fried chicken, tacos, or steak, a restaurant was able to cater to those needs. If the mun-chics attacked late one Friday night, anything edible could be found at a corner convenience shop. And when funds were especially lojv. convenience stores were quite convenient. Butch King definitely knew the type of cater)' he preferred. I like some place sophisticated. Since I love good steak and seafood, I usually go to the Plantation House or Pat's of Henderson. Eating at restaurants sometimes caused anxiety. Which fork to use? How to eat pizza without a mile of cheese trailing? What happens when a full glass is spilled? Or the herculean chore of dividing up the check and figuring the tip? How to eat a gigantic piece of lettuce? Cut it with a knife or stuff it all in at once? How about something green and leafy stuck between two teeth? Etc., etc____Marshall DURING A STUDENT council meeting at Mr. Gatti's.

As you can see, started Mrs. Kepper, There's not enough desks to seat all of you, as she indicated the many students sitting on the lab desks. I’m going to put you into alphabetical order. I'll try to get more desks, but there isn't much room. Some of you will have to change into another hour. She started: Ravin Agrawal, Angela Abshire, Micheal Baldwin ... Before she got past the M's, she was out of desks. Diasppointed. Jeff settled onto a lab desk. I can't see!” lamented Jack Roody during the first week of school. How am I supposed to learn algebra if I can't see the board? Ravin Agrawal joined in, I always sit in the corner. In the never-ending cafeteria line, most people think that they are always last. For all the times I've been last, demanded Keith Newton, I think I should always be first. But if everyone who was at the end of the line once was always first as repayment, there would have to 1200 separate lunch lines, and then you'd have to decide which line went first. What's a person to do? Don't eat school food, advised Phyllis Lejeune. Sound advice, on all levels. There's only one way to live through being last — endure heavy waiting. And if you sit in the back of the room, look at it this way: if your teacher doesn't prowl around the room, she'll never see that you haven't done your homework.

Changes, for better or worse, were bound to happen. It was a time to think about the losses and the victories and how we learned we had to deal with all of them. Even though the bad things that occurred would temporarily set us back, we would be stronger the next time and could bounce back faster and ready for more.
