However, sc ool this day was at the Fort Hood First Grade and Kindergarten School. james was invited to visit the students of Ms. Phyllis Cano and to talk with the youngsters that he had been instrumental in helping with math skills. Ms. Cano, a first grade teacher, had been having difficulty in teaching her students addition. She knew that many of her students were familar with the ac- complishments of james Spikes on the football field. To gain her students' interest, she began to put his name and weekly statistics in her daily lessons. A typical problem in her lessons read: If Coach Beseda tells james to run five yards and he runs three ex- tra yards, how many yards does he run? The students grasped this uni- que method quickly. Their perfor- mances in math greatly improved. On the day that james visited these students, he arrived at the school in full pads and football uniform. He spent the day demonstrating' his equipment. He emphasized t at in order to succeed in school they need to pay attention and follow directions, just as football players have to do in order to be successful on the gridiron. james was 'hero for the day.' Later the students made personal thank you cards for him. WALKING to her science class is Melanie Cruz. 'if 40 - Seniors Copy by lohn V d g ft bf'

Sunday dinner at the table with the family, afternoons spent at Putt- Putt-these were the results of the pro football strike. From August to September, fans, players and owners wondered about the strike. Some felt it wouldn't happen, but it did. The issues were money and compensa- tion for players injured and forced to retire early. When the season resumed the Sunday before Thanksgiving, some fans felt the shortened season meant football that was less in- teresting. According to Terry Parmer, uThe strike took the heart out of the season. In the shortened season, teams played a schedule of eight regular games, one before the strike started. The sixteen teams with the best records began the playoffs. After three rounds of playoffs, the NFC winner, the Washington Redskins, and the AFC champions, the Miami Dolphins, met on january 30 in the Rose Bowl for Super Bowl XVII. The winner was Washington. .Wg X 9 -F L n lf i g 'www ' gl i ,. l ' u', A 1 'sf' al' Q-.. 5 it '-' t I , . 1, '.
