Changes from legislative reform were over and accepted. Most of us figured out how to work the system. f It was no problem for fun lovers like us who only had to spend one season on the bench to learn not to take hard classes or teachers. It really wasn't that we avoided learning, we just were satisfied with the basics. We sought friends, pastimes, and styles that stimulated our search for fun. Mingling with the crowds, we flocked to the mall for a shopping adventure with family or friends. We played frisbee at Album Park, or we became Photon warriors. We lined up to see our Star Trek dreams were granted. We invited our friends over to scare ourselves to death with the latest return of Jason the unkillable slaughterer. The Indian Summer found us splashing away in a friend's pool, attempting impressive dives but only belly-flopping. ' What did it matter? We were free from worry. We were having fun.

The city lights seemed to come alive just for us because of our let's go attitude. Along with our friends and families, we cheered in the stadium for our team. Our band sent chills up and down our spines at halftime. We went out for pizza or went bopping to the sounds at Hudsons. Juarez nights were a blast as everyone kicked their shoes off and danced. We all lived for weekend fun. Many of us chose to compete on church, city, or civic teams. Most of us pursued hobbies like four wheeling or hiking. Regardless of our choices, the activity that attracted us most was partying-whew. 1 4 carefree fascination The NEB 1:8 surrounded by an array of fireworks at the Charnizal Natio l Memorials annual Fourth of july celebration. fPhoto by Curtis Solisj S a7'kl61'S -faSC'I:nate sophomore Albert Martinez and little sister Vanessa . artinez during a family outing on Independance Day. fPl10to by Anna Laura Splendor zu the Uighl, the View of El P8505 Skyline from SCCr1iC Drive jaurrietaj provides a burst of light in the early summer evening. fPhoto by Alex Ramirezj , is 2:5 e 2 i carefree fascination 5 Y N Q Egg 6 carefree fascination i Carefree ascinatio What a trip! We could barely wait to escape the local scene. By car, airplane, boat, bus, or train-we excitedly packed our bags and were ready for adventure. Many of us took off with family or friends and visited different parts of the country for weeks at a time. We visited different parts of the world like Europe and Latin America. We found that life's a beach on the west coast. Each time we once again were bound for home, our thoughts returned to school and friends. We couldn't wait to recount the latest adventure. Each tale grew until it seemed to be impossible to ever be able to have a better time. 5 S-yr Make up and all, student council vice-president Ron Pruitt becomes considerably shorter while at summer camp in San Angelo. fPhoto by Ms. Deby Lewisj An CUTHCT cafe provides a quiet escape, Arika Love rests from the hoopla of a Weekend visit to New York.

August was the time for joining clubs, and cliques. Homecoming came earlier than usual. Along with it, a fresh breath of school spirit blew through the school. I haven't seen this much enthusiasm since my freshman year, said senior Freddy Miller. In Homecoming's midst, clubs banded together in summer right up until the night of the game. Freshmen were captivated as they acquainted themselves with Eastwood's traditions in three short weeks. The day itself dawned upon faculty, students, and exes alike as the refreshing scent of mums floated through the halls. The pep rally was a shower of toilet paper. The game was the most enchanting, as the sky became a sea of blue and gold balloons. As the Homecoming cloud of confetti settled, the performing groups that sparked our spirit and entertained us at halftime prepared to face their own competitions. Ribbons, trophies and ratings became the extracurricular allurement. While many of us stared at the same tumbleweeds through fogged bus windows, the rest of us battled for glory at home. NFL's Sol Power tournament drew school from all over Texas. Acacemic clubs prepared for UIL competition. Service clubs scrubbed the campus clean while vying for Club of the Month awards. Winning wasn't everything. Getting to compete in arenas that we loved was what made our hearts fancy free.

For the Homecoming week of September 22-26 students dressed according to the different themes set for each day. Lunch-time activities added to the spirit as the officers of Student Council QSTUCOJ promoted class unity. Week-long activities were highlighted by competition. The Office Education Association sold spirit chain links to class members. At the rate of two links for five cents, students scraped together spare change to ensure that their class would win. STUCO sponsered a Kiss a Pig contest. Pictures of contestants were attached to jars in which money was collected. The contestant who attracted the largest donation was supposed to kiss a live pig during the pep rally. Monday's Spirit Week kick-off was vacation day. Participants wore tourist attire. During lunch an obstacle relay race was held. Class competitors ran down the track bearing eggs on spoons, ran three legged races, and dribbled a basketball while running backwards. The freshmen took first prize. The seniors didn't compete. Spirit Week started off slow but improved as the week went on, said STUCO vice-president Ron Pruitt. Tuesday marked gender bender! nerd day. Some students came to school as Pee Wee Herman look-a-likes while others settled for a change in gender attire. Sophomores took first in the lunch-time events with the seniors in a close second. The class competition included a basketball toss, a card toss, passing a grapefruit from chin to chin, and balancing on a coffee can while trying to light a candle. My favorite was passing an orange from person to person. That was a blast! said senior Michelle Shipley. On Wednesday students dressed in blue and gold to raise Homecoming morale for the afternoon parade and evening Burning of the E, I dressed in blue and gold to show my school spirit, said senior Christy Villanueva. Thursday turned students into greasers I0 spirit week and girls with poodle skirts. I dressed up on '50s day because it was fun to imagine the way life was back then, said senior Bonnie Delgado. At lunch cars were judged for most spirited. junior Irene Chavarria placed first, and senior Mario jaramillo took second while junior Phil Ramos took third. I had a guitar through the top of my car, and I used slogans like 'Go Troopers,' and 'Class of '87 Rules' all over my Mustang, said jaramillo. Spirit Week concluded with a Friday extravaganza. Winners of the competitions were announced at the pep rally. The winner of the Kiss a Pig contest was Pruitt and the longest spirit chain belonged to the junior class. Pruitt was awarded a stuffed piglet to kiss for raising 1536. I was upset that I won at first but then I blew it off, said Pruitt. Originally a live pig was scheduled to appear for the contest but the initial plan fell through. 'FT' .7 --440' , 'Q Q . VVXE .fky W Q-X ,. 1- ifft K Q ucker up!

It felt so good hearing the crowd go radical as the E began to light up, said senior Marie Esparza. It became a moment for reflection-upon the events of the evening, upon the events of three previous years of high school. The ceremonies had begun as everyone in the stadium rose for the presenting of the colors which were posted by the JROTC color guard. The band struck up the Star Spangled Banner to add to the tribute. Several groups performed for the celebration. The pom pon squad joined the varsity cheerleaders in a dance to Nockers. Performing for the students was a real great experience that not many people can do, said senior Kara Douglass. Along with other performances were Saltatrix who danced the Salsation and the Trooperettes who danced to A'Opportunities and Velcro Fly. Although I was excited, I was really nervous because it was one of those times when I knew I had to do my best, said senior Eunice Moreno. Seated on the field the band members were a big part of the evening's mood. While the percussion section performed a solo, the rest of the band went sick and danced in snake formations. Some underclassmen hoped that the togetherness that seniors had would also be around for them when they become seniors. I hope that when I become a senior, I'll be even more enthusiastic, said junior Lorraine Ellis. Many underclassmen just wanted to get into the spirit of things. I wish more people would get involved in school spirit, said freshman Leslie Wingo. I know itis a long ladder, and I still have some steps to go, said freshman Stephanie Edwards. I'll do the best that I can, added Edwards.

Traditional bells rang from the mums, garters, and boutonnieres crowds thronged to the morning pep rally. A wide variety of entertainment was presented. Members of Saltatrix, the pom pon squad, and the Trooperettes combined to perform two dances to Cut It and Exposed to Video. Debuting died,', said senior Shawn Douthit. He added, I thought it was a good idea to present the saddle, and bridle to Pep rally spirit also afforded two more honors. Mrs. Dee White was presented with a corsage for being the school's teacher of the year. Senior Kara Douglass was named the football sweetheart and was presented with a bouquet of roses from the varsity team. Exes were enchanted with the idea of seeing old teachers and joining along with the singing of the Alma Mater. The their award winning halftime show, the band and flags performed selections from Carmuna Burana, as well as Piece of Dreams, and The Battle Hymn of the Republic. he exes tea, held in the homemaking room, brought exes together from the earliest class of 1961 and up to 1986.

Homecoming crowds were treated to a brief presentation of the court during the halftime show. Topper for the evening was the 55-0 of the varsity over Canutillo. Varsity quarterback Matt Howard said, Being Homecoming king created a lot of memories for me so I will be back for X future Homecomings, for sure. Wi WW?

Floats, performing groups, and the Homecoming court made their way down Montwood Street from Skaggs to the Eastwood stadium. People crowded the sidewalks along both sides of the street to see the unique and creative floats. Such displays included the Spanish National Honor Society floats which won first place in the float contest. Second place winner was Entre Nous' Cage the Eagles float which had a small child on a swing representing an eagle inside a giant cage. With the theme Crucify the Eagles, Rodeo Club took third place in the competition. The float was introduced by members of the club riding horses and holding flags. Other clubs which participated in the parade were ELA, NFL, Key Club, Yahna Phi, orchestra, Latin Club, and the French Club. Emotions were stirred as seniors reminisced about past years while underclassmen anticipated future accomplishments. I hope that I'll have the opportunity to be a part of the parade in my future years, said freshman Lilianna jaurrieta. The parade also offered a sense of freedom from the rules and regulations. Since the hall decorating rules had gotten so strict, it fthe paradej helped to raise school spirit during Homecoming week, said student council president Charles Perkins. In order for a float to be judged in the competition, it had to be creative and original, and could not just be a decorated car. The parade symbolized a feeling of accomplishment. The parade represents Homecoming spirit and the participants' hard work and effort, said sophomore Stephanie Moniz. Everybody put their best efforts into the floats, she added. UI think the parade will be a lasting tradition because people want to express their pride in their school, said senior Amelia Hernandez. Homecoming and all of its activities sparked a certain feeling of belonging and pride in everyone. Since this was my last year, marching in the parade was special, said Trooperette Cindy Burrus. Special guest and grand marshall of the parade was city council eastside representative Mr. Ed Elsey. Adding to the procession were several performing groups. They were were Salatrix, Trooperettes, flags, cheerleaders, poms, and the band. hile sophomore prince Marc Acosta and freshman prince Jeff Nash prepare for the parade, Mr. Eldon Lawrence helps set up the bunny for the orchestra float. fPhoto by Alex Ramirezj eady to go, Rodeo Club member Wendy Thompson adjusts the reigns on her horse, Ranger's Drummer, before the parade.

Although decorating the hall was fun, winning was even better. The competition was tough. We decided on our theme during the summer and took an oath of silence not to tell what it was, said Y Club member Tracie Turner. We kept all our decorations hidden in the houses of the members, said Turner. Eastwood's various clubs and organizations labored to adorn their chosen hallways on September 20, the Saturday before Homecoming. There were no limits to the amount of time a club could work outside of school. There was, however, a limit for putting up decorations on campus. After a five hour time limit, the halls were judged. The judges were lab technician Jodi Burns, UTEP student Jean Borunda, and Ysleta Elementary School teacher Miss Lisa Multhauf. Criteria for judging were creativity, originality, and how they tied in with Eastwood, football, and the exes. Also, the materials used in the decorations had to be fire retardant. With such a variety of decorations to critique, the judges really had their work cut out for them. 'judging the halls was really very difficult. Once we decided on the three best halls, we took over two hours trying to decide which ones to award first, second, and third place to, said Borunda. The final decision was announced at the Burning of the E ceremonies. First place was awarded to Y-club, second place went to Sigma Chi, and OEA grabbed third. Octagon won an honorable mention. Y Club's winning theme was Surfin E.H.S. We spent a lot of time working on everything, even some time during the summer, and I was really glad that the hall turned out as well as it did, said Y Club historian Charles Perkins. I was really excited that we won, said president Virginia Porras. We had a tradition of winning until last year, and I8 decoration of the halls we wanted to win in order to carry on the tradition, said Porras. Second place winner, Sigma Chi's theme Catch the Wave covered a portion of fifth hall. The hall turned out really well, better than we expected, said junior Vickie Michael. We were happy about getting second place because we had never won before, she added. OEA and Octagon shared the decorating of sixth hall. OEA used the theme Welcome to the Trooper Be-Bop to garnish the western half of sixth hall. I think we deserved to win third place because we put in a lot of hard work, and I feel we did a really good job, said senior Sherine jackson. It felt good to win because it was the first time that OEA was ever really recognized for anything, she added. Decorating the eastern half of sixth hall, Octagon's theme Eagles Drive to Destruction earned the club an honorable mention. I thought the hall came out pretty nice. We had an original idea and that's what probably got us the honorable mention, said junior Kevin Cataldi. It made me feel proud to be a part of the club, he added.

Members of service clubs and organizations volunteered their time in order to uphold a tradition. Behind each finished hallway there was usually a method of organization. Members worked on their decorations at meetings held after school hours and on weekends. Some clubs like Yahna Phi and the Thespians had committees set up to do certain decorations. Other clubs worked together as one large group to get the job done. We had many different committees made up of different members so that everyone was involved and participatingf, said Yahna Phi president Nicole Pruitt. Some hall ideas came on the spur of the moment. We had a meeting one day, and someone just came up with the idea of 'The Pride is Back' as our theme, said Blue Jackets president Claudia Potter. We all liked the idea because it included everything we did at school, said Potter. Reactions to seeing the finished product varied from club to club. Most V f 11573 , 'A H1 ui.

We were surprised to see what we accomplished by putting together our hall decorations in one weekf' said Doowtsae member Dawn Priegal. Money was a concern for some of the clubs. To pay for the supplies, we charged club dues of 155 for each member, said Doowtsae parlimentarian Leona Shipley. We had a lot of money left over from last year's activities that really helped us a lot, said OEA member Janice Vargas. All clubs were required to comply with the city fire code. The decorations had to be fire proofed with a borax solution because of the fire Eastwood had during Homecoming two years ago. Each club received a copy of the ingredients that were to be mixed to make the solution. Respraying of the decorations had to take place on Thursday Sept. 25 when it was determined by a local fire marshall that the clubs' Homecoming decorations did not meet the standards of the code. Once again the clubs came together that evening to respray their creations. Respraying the decorations the night before Homecoming was the absolute worst problem, said Anehta Sesea president Jinx Montano. All of the hard work that we put into the decorations was worth it,' said Shannon Flaherty. If not for activities like this, the kids would not be as spirited during Homecoming, she added. decoration of the halls 21 lub Decorators Arra Hallways Campus Commotion Draws Crowds By Tobias Munoz Stumbling into the school laden with boxes of donuts and soft drinks, club members stretched out on the floors of the halls to put the finishing touches on elaborate Homecoming decorations. Scheduling the traditional decorating of the halls for the morning of Saturday, September 20 after five years of decorating on Wednesday afternoons took a bit of adjustment. There was a conflict in scheduling the Burning of the 'E' and the whole week of activities, said Student Council sponser Ms. Deby Lewis. Although the clubs got off to a slow start, it took no time at all for the club members to transform their segment of -the halls. It was like walking into another world, said junior Danny Segovia. What made the event so special was that it was entertainment in itself. Spectators wandered the building. Some gave assistance to clubs in need. Some were interested parents who were glad to have their garages emptied of the mess. Others just got caught up in the mood. Even though I did not help decorate the Detinu hall, I was still proud of the accomplishment they made, said freshman Detinu member Andrew Ortiz. Every club played its own variety of music. New wavers tuned in to KXCR while others set their dials for 95.5 and the sounds of the Qf' QKLAQJ. Still others preferred their own tapes of such groups as the Outfield. I liked walking down the halls and listening to all the different types of music being played by all the clubs,', said junior Mylli McLain. Each group provided its own junk food heaven. Dunkin donuts, Classic Coke, Snickers, Dr. Pepper, Ruffles, Cheese Doodles, Doritos and much more took the place of home-cooked Saturday morning breakfasts. It was hard waking up in the morning and having to come to school to help decorate the hall, but fortunately Dunkin Donuts was there to lend a hand, said junior Ingrid Rojas. Along with the excitement there came some moments of disappointment. French Club members were saddened and angered when their decorations didn't pass the flame retardant test. They had used garbage bags to darken the walls of their hall to give it a cave feeling for their Flintstones theme. All the bags had to be removed. I felt like crying, said sponser Mrs. Sharon Fabiano. Beginning at 12:30 p.m. assistant principal Mr. Cliff Pickett and Lewis began encouraging students to finish their projects by the 1:00 p.m. deadline. . fm- - ' ' 53535251 ' fiifgyf W- ,g, ootsae members are FRONT ROW: john- Seabock, james jancu, historian Raul Gonzalez, Michael Lara, Robert Bryant, and Ryan Nickersong coops of whipped creme set off the sweet decorations that Octagon member Diana Perez carefully prepares for sixth hall.

In order to accomplish the transformation, a number of themes were chosen. Topics ranged from the Flintstones to Catch the wave. The beach was a popular setting. The surfing themes were in and were really well done, said sophomore Darlene Davis. Y Club used it for the first hall theme of Surfin EHS. Exes gazed at surfboards along with the paper beachballs and Eastwood jammsn shorts when they walked through Y Club's first hall. The theme was cool, it looked like a lot of work was done, said 1985 graduate Paul Riddick. Huge drawings of drowning eagles and hungry sharks took up window space, while blue butcher paper provided the background to keep out most of the light in the hall. Sigma Chi chose to Catch the Wave with their fifth hall decor. Palm trees, sun, and surf caught special attention. The halls were so neat, especially the ones with surfing and beach stuff, said freshman Caro Soto. Sigma Chi adorned their hall with huge palm trees, massive strips of streamers, and paper Troopers with their surfboards.

Some clubs chose to reflect school pride in their themes. Anehta Sesea used Miss Liberty as well as school symbols to carry out the theme A'Shine On Forever. It was so appropriate to use the statue since liberty weekend was last summer and all, said junior Gaby Urquiza. Blue jackets focused on all areas of competition with their theme The Pride is Back. Troopers Thru the Years was Yahna Phi's nostalgic look at past teams. Several clubs were interested in the demise of the Canutillo team. ELA members wanted to Kill the Eagles in seventh hall while Entre Nous offered to Cage the Eaglesn in fourth hall. ELA's hall was cool, and we were proud of it, said junior Brandon Bentley. Octagon members were intent on the Eagles' Drive to Destruction in sixth hall. Also shunning the Cantuillo Eagles was E-Kappa who used Wipe out the Eagles as their theme. Still other themes were set using unusual settings. Doowtsae members attacked third hall with characters like Oonga Boonga, various jungle animals and wild vegetation. The Troopstones,' French Club's imitation of the favorite cartoon, The Flintstones adorned part of main hall with huge plywood replicas of Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty. OEA flashed back to the past with the Trooper Be-bop. The sixth hall decorations included paper records and other '50s paraphernalia including a little juke box. The really heavily decorated halls were the ones that attracted me mostf' said senior Joe Golden. Other various decorations sprinkled through the school included contributions from Saltatrix, Trooperettes, the pom pon squad and cheerleaders. rying to tie a handful of streamers to a foil covered corner of Yahna Phi's fourth hall, member Tricia Nava finds her job tedious.

Weeks of practices before school, after school and on Saturday enabled the band to rank eighth in the state of Texas. Practicing and preparing for competition was real tense, said secretary Brandi LeBlanc. There was a lot of hard work put in, and everyone pushed themselves for perfection, she added. The first competition the band participated in was the district competition held at the Sun Bowl, October 10, 1986. The band received a ffl, which is superior rating. The Hanks High School band also received a superior rating. According to district officials, only one school was able to go to Odessa, Texas and represent El Paso in the regional competition on November l, 1986. Because of their unusual and outstanding performance, the Troopers were chosen. Once again practice paid off' as the band took another superior award. The band members' performance in Odessa allowed them to compete in the state finals which were held in Austin, Texas on November 11, 1986. Austin's competition was a scary but neat feeling, said junior percussionist Lori Gonzalez. 'just knowing that our band was able to compete in the state competition was exciting because state fcompetitionj was the highest level possible, she added. The drill that the band performed featured wind solos. Senior picolo player Debbie Gonzalez and saxophone players, senior joey Hedderman and junior Steve Silva performed the seduction portion of the piece Carmina Burana. At first I was nervous, but after a while I got used to it and looked forward to playing my solo, said Gonzalez. -K Drum majors, both seniors, Lisa ntense silence fills the Sun Bowl as Steve Silva and joe Hedderman perform their duet to Carmina Buranau during the marching band district competition on October l0. iPhoto by Rick Moralesj old weather calls for an adjustment.

Being a drum major was not all fun and games. It took a lot of work and time to lead the band, said Gonzalez. I thought that being able to get a massive amount of people to have the same winning attitude was pretty wildf' said junior saxophone player Denicka Martinez. Other scheduled events were numerous. Concert season opened with the bandis annual Christmas concert which was held on December 17. The spring contest was held at Riverside High School in April. The band also performed in the World of Music Festival held in Los Angeles, California in April. During Homecoming week the band marched in the parade which was held before the burning of the UE. The band also participated in the Halloween carnival where they provided the garter toss. This enabled them to raise money for the band banquet which was held in April. The gathering was a formal occasion in which the officers for the following year were announced. Awards for outstanding achievement were issued. Individual members tried out for advanced chairs in area competition on November 15. Nine players rated area seats. They were Linda Orrantia fclarinetj, Christine Siebert fclarinetj, Karla Baucum fflutej, Philip Welker fbassoonj, joe Hedderman falto saxophonej, Mark Swanson ftenor saxophonej, William Steffen fbaritone saxophonej, Ernie Guzman ftrumpetj, and Tom Cardon ffrench hornj. Many members felt that the hard work and time the band contributed to becoming eighth in the state added to Eastwood's proud heritage. When our performance was over, and the crowd was standing up, it gave us the chills, said Debbie Gonzalez.

As the musicians softly play Battle Hymn of the Republic, flag corps members unfurled red, white, and blue streamers and released red, white, and blue balloons. The flag corps helped highlight another winning band performance. Whether it was performing for Friday night football games or for varsity basketball games, these girls put their all into each performance. Because we started practice at 6:30 a.m. and continued through first period, it was really rough, said senior Judee Provencio. but when I got out there on Friday nights and heard that crowd, I knew it was all worth it, she added. Tryouts for flags were held in May of 1986. Girls attended the week long clinic taught by Mr. Reuben Hall and flag captains Holly Law, Sherill Barrett, Marta Bebee, Lisa Covell, and Shelly Smith. The competition was rough! Over 80 girls tried out, said Provencio. Forty- five out of the eighty girls were chosen for flags by Hall's former students from out of state. Being a part of flags gave the girls a sense of belonging and a chance to take pride in themselves. I was on the varsity swim team for two years and I never really felt like I was a part of it, I wanted to do something that would make me feel good about myself so I joined flags, said junior Demra Fore. What I like most about flags is the way I feel about myself because now I have more confidence, added Fore. The band has a tradition of excellence, and I thought it would be neat to be a part of something that mattered and was important to the school, said junior Yvonne Salazar. According to Law, Hall is a very innovative teacher. Hall was always 30 flags looking for something new to teach the flag members. I think it's an injustice to the girls if I don't go out and seek new things to teach them, said Hall. I treat the students as young adults, not as teachers but as parents would, Hall said. I try to teach them morals, how to get along, to be individuals and to share. The flags strong point was their ability to use any prop whether it be rifles, swords, sickles, flags, balls or streamers. One new change was that the members of flags exchanged the traditional skirts for blue and gold unitards. We were used to the traditional skirts, but we kneel a lot, and it's better to wear pants for that, said junior Judy Swihart. The f1ag's main objectives were to compliment the band and enhance its music. Flag and band members went to Odessa on October 31 where they placed second in regional competition. On November 10 the group traveled to Austin for the state competition. In the first round of judging the five judges awarded them scores of 94.5, 90.5, 91, and 85. Maintaining their first division - status, they were rated eighth out of 14 state competitors. aking a McDonaldland'break in Fort Stockton, Catherine Thwaits and Missy Ballway take one last slide.

We try and do all types of dances from lyrical to a sassy, more jazzy type of dance,', said senior Kristin Calderwood. With each dance we choreographed, we tried to be more and more original, she added. Saltatrix performed for several pep rallies as well as the burning of the the beauty pageant, the King of Hearts pageant, the cheerleading competition, and a spring recital.

It was choreographed by historian Sherry Bebee and president Wasiewski. HI think it showed a lot of personality, said Wasiewski. I liked it because it was a very explosive dance, said senior Eunice Moreno. She added, It had some great effects, and it was a dance to which the crowd responded.' One thing really special about our group was our relationship, said Calderwood. Sponsor Mrs. Katherine Teel played a big role in the girls' attitudes toward each other and the way they performed. I work on building the girls' confidence as well as encouraging them to do their best, said Teel. Some of the graduating seniors in Saltatrix planned to dance professionally.

Choosing to join the corps wasn't a difficult decision for most girls. When I was a little girl my big brother used to play football, and every Friday night I would go to the games just to see the Trooperettes perform at halftime because I really admired their style, said sophomore Sonia Apodaca. Before I became a Trooperette, seeing the drill team perform at previous games gave me a feeling of enjoyment and inspiration, said junior Tonda Yarbrough. There was a lot of work that went into creating and perfecting routines. Trooperettes often went home with aching muscles. The hardest thing about Trooperettes was getting 68 girls to do the same thing at the same time, but then all of the hard work finally paid off at the end of a performance, said Apodaca. I knew I did a good job when the crowd applauded, she added. Being a Trooperette wasn't too much work. We all just had to be willing to get good grades and put on a great performance, said freshman Diane Davis. Freshman Tina Caylor said, The hardest thing about Trooperettes for me was waking up at five in the morning to be at school by 6:30 a.m. We worked so hard that by second period we were really tired, she added. Many people thought of Trooperettes as just another club, but it was much more. Being in Trooperettes helped me to be more responsible for my actions and not to give up on anything before I tried it first, said Yarbrough. All Trooperettes attended summer workshops which were held at Eastwood by instructors from Dallas. Seven girls ,were chosen for the All-American Drill 34 Trooperettes Team. They were Gloria Munoz, Ann Hanlon, Claudine Kirkpatrick, Sally Contreras, Lisa Esqueda, Claudine Varela and Ester Rios. I was very surprised to be nominated for the team because I participated for interaction with others and for squad achievement-not for personal glory, said Munoz. However, I felt that a chance like that should not be passed up, and I intend to continue to dance with the All-American team in the future, she added. In order to raise money for new uniforms, the group sold football programs, calendars, belt buckles, and candy. The Trooperettes also decided to join together to help those people who were less fortunate. At Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets for needy families were gathered and delivered. The girls also served as hostesses and official huggers for the Special Olympics. Being part of a group that helps people feel like someone loved them all year 'round really made me feel good, said freshman Gene Figeroa. Even though being on the drill team is sometimes hard, I have never before had so much fun in a school activity, said Davis. T. LJLZZQEQQL...

The team took the Sweepstakes Award, and the NCA Super Star Squad. Kara Douglass, Laurie Grall and Lynette Pitcock were nominated as All-American Pom Pon Girls. Lynette Pitcock was chosen All-American and received the chance to dance in the Aloha Bowl on December 25 although she declined the opportunity. Camp gave us a lot of ideas for our dances and we leamed how to create pom pon movements that coordinated with the dances, said senior Grall. ' Aside from learning dances the squad proved to be a great spirit builder and earned an Award of Excellence. The award meant a lot, but mostly it gave us the chance to go to Nationals, said captain Pitcock. Various fundraisers were needed to bring in money for the trip to Anaheim, California where the national competition was held. We sold carnations, balloons ., W f' in Grall, Xochitl Budde, and Traci Turner's performance at the Homecoming pep rally on Sept. 26.

The thrill of being selected as national competitors sparked a fire within the squad. We're doing more this year than we've ever done, said captain Douglass. We have attended the games and matches of every sport possible, and have made a special effort to attend the away games, Douglass added. Squad members also doubled their efforts in making spirit posters. When the band went to state, we drew posters wishing them good luck, said Howard. It was a morale booster, she added. Being in the limelight was sometimes difficult. I learned how to handle stress and how to perform in front of people, said Howard. Learning how to deal with pressure gave me a sense of self- confidence, said Rana Rittgers. Besides being spirit leaders, the girls became a close knit group of friends. Because I'm a senior I know it's my last chance to do everything so I thought it was important to leam about each other, said Rittgers. At camp we had a whole week to really get to know each other, and that's when we got really close, said Michelle Gutierrez.

Our main goal was to give our teams as much support as we could by encouraging crowd participation, said senior Amy Powell. Sponsored by Mrs. Bonnie Ortega, captain Julie Summerford led the squad to victory last summer at the National Cheerleaders Association Camp in Fresno, California. While at the camp, the cheerleaders learned cheers, chants, stunts, and how to spot each other. The camp helped all of us get to know each other better which in return helped our cheering. It showed us that we had to work for what we wanted, said Summerford. Honors won were a Superior rating, the Spirit award and the Award of Excellence which gave them the right to compete on December 25-28 at the National Cheerleaders Association High School National Championship in Orlando, Florida. Out of three nominations for A11- American cheerleader, two honorees were named from the Eastwood squad. Both seniors Jenny Tipton and David Trejo competed. Trejo won. Cheerleading was hard because of all the practices, but the excitement and fun made all the work worth it, said Trejo. In order to get to Florida the cheerleaders had to raise money. They sold ads for the football program. Channel 4 QKDBCQ did an special in- depth piece by Mr. Tim Hartman on the squad's efforts. KDBC also ran a public service announcement encouraging donations for the trip. Channel 7 QKVIAJ also ran a short spot for the cheerleaders during their news broadcast. The junior varsity,.and freshman squads donated money to us that they had earned by selling Christmas novelties, said junior Crissy Escamilla. Cheerleaders worked hard in making student moral rise to its peak. They cheered for games and pep rallies, made posters, and decorated the students' cars and lockers. We try to involve everyone, said Powell. Getting along with one another as a team was one important factor. As a squad, the ability for all of us to work together easily was helpful, said junior Brandi Trapp. What made the cheerleaders so exceptional was that we learned to be open with one another, discuss each other's feelings, and understand and respect those feelings, said Ortega.

There were candy apples from the Trooperette sweet shop, miniture figurines from the Key Club ping pong ball toss, balloons from the Office Education Association, grab bags from the sophomore class, and cakes from the Rodeo Club cake walk. Other than adding to each club's treasury, two booths sought to fund future rewards. The faculty used proceeds from the Fun Picture booth to add to the scholarship fund. However, the most coveted prizes were the stuffed animals won by sledge hammering the toy into barrels. Sponsered by KDBC fChannel 4D and Safeway, proceeds were used to start a Students Against Drunk Drivers QSADDJ chapter at Eastwood. It was a magical time which allowed everyone to act out their dreams of becoming clowns or movie stars. It gave people a way to look into themselves and find the true kid inside, said sophomore Stephen Dominguez. Many students were having such a good time that they hated to see it end. It was too bad the carnival had to end so early because I had a really good time, said junior Margie Collins. The children were really too excited to leave just then, Collins said. A few groups held on to the magic by moving the festivities to their homes. I had the time of my life with my friends, said sophomore Alfonso Duarte.

Dedication and long hours was what it took to create the illusion of ease demonstrated by the junior varsity and freshman cheerleading squads. Cheerleading is a lot of hard work. A person shouldn't try out for cheerleading if they don't have the dedication and the time, said freshman cheerleader Carmen McNees. I like cheering because it was a lot of fun. It gave me a chance to meet other people my age and relate to them, said sophomore Nicole Pruitt. The desire to be a cheerleader often starts early in life. When I was young, my father was a coach, and I was the mascot for the team, said freshman Corrina Melendez. Ever since then, I've been a cheerleader, said Melendez. My freshman year I was on the gymnastics team, and that helped me prepare for 1S Ultimate Goal cheering, said junior varsity cheerleader Amy McDaniel. Being on the squad had its advantages as well as its disadvantages. Cheerleading helped the freshmen get acquainted with their new world. It was a lot easier to adjust to the school and get some idea of what high school life was like, said McNees. Sometimes cheerleaders were labeled guilty by association. If people get bad impressions of one of the girls, it carries over onto the rest of the squad, said Pruitt. Freshmen cheerleaders took a lot of teasing on behalf of their whole class. At the pep rally we get booed a lot for just being freshmen, said Yvette Vela. Regardless of the drawbacks, many planned to continue being cheerleaders and being members of winning squads. To be the best is important to me and the squad, said sophomore Rita Rosas. It's not only important to go to regionals, it' important to inspire enthusiasm at EHS, said Rosas.

Volunteering to trick-or-treat for the United Nations Children's Fund CUNICEFJ was one worthy cause. Others jumped out of dark corners at the junior Women's Club Haunted House located on the upper level inside Cielo Vista Mall. Organized by Student Council QSTUCOJ, members of Key Club, Blue jackets, Doowtsae, Y Club, and the French Club took to the night air to collect funds for UNICEF. Over a period of four weeks the members of Key Club, Anehta Sesea, the French Club, and Blue Jackets manned the spooky stations of the Haunted House. UNICEF and the junior Women's Club were not only worthy causes to participate in, but they also gave older students a chance to dress up. I enjoyed trick-or-treating for UNICEF because no one ever outgrows the thrill of trick-or- treating, and this was a good way to have fun and help children at the same time, said senior Claudia Potter. Dressing up and working with the people at the junior Women's Club was a lot of fun, said freshman Eric Montano. They were all very nice, and it made me feel good to help others, said Montano. While both activities were fun there were a few minor inconveniences such as students overcoming their shyness and enduring the heat. Trick or treating for UNICEF was embarrassing at first because people looked surprised to see us dressed up the day before Halloween, said sophomore Julie Abrams. After a while we got used to it, said Abrams. Working in the Haunted House was a lot of fun but was a little embarrassing at the begining because we had to jump out and scream at people, said freshman Lori Kincade. I was little nervous when I first started working in the Haunted Much Time for Good auses More Than Ample Opportunities House, said freshman Richard Apodaca. I wasnit sure what to do, but then I got the hang of it and had lots of fun scaring the kids, he said. It was great fun working in the Haunted House, said freshman Troy Wilson. The masks we had to wear were so hot and uncomfortable that it took some fun out of it, but it was all worth it, said Wilson. To participate in the trick-or-treat for UNICEF, students were required to supply their own costumes. Two students were assigned to each street to promote safety. All in all, the evening was successful with the participants raising a total of 15133. Costumes were supplied to the students that participated in the junior Women's Club Haunted House. Students were asked to stand still at their assigned stations until each eager victim passed them. The majority of the people that came in were little kids, the adults didn't really seem interested, said freshman Tiffany Lambright. Quite a few kids that came in got hysterical and started crying which made me feel bad, she added. It was fun watching the expressions of the people going by, said freshman Stacy Wilson. Sometimes I wanted to laugh because of how funny they looked, said Wilson. Doing something for others made Halloween better for everyone involved. Trick-or-treating for UNICEF was fun because it made me feel good, said sophomore Stephen Dominguez. I chose to do this because I wanted to help raise money for children less fortunate than I, said junior Irais Molina. I wanted to give them food, better shelter and better clothing, she said. I fully support what junior Women's club is doing, they help the blind and encourage them to do more activities and participate, said junior Martha jara. 3 arbed in a monke mask Ste hen Domin ez Y 1 P E , and Virginia Porras, both of Y Club, trick-or-treat for UNICEF on October 30, the eve of Halloween. fPhoto by Eric Holenj ..,. ..Q..:.. ww 1 X YY ,-,-, W .m...mW-Ngamxmwwsmvggsggfg , aunted House humorists jennifer Aguirre Brian Love, and Ben Thomas discuss their spooking experiences as they take a break between shifts for French Club. fPhoto by Sleta Ruthj 46 UNICEF X . k .

Club members volunteered to staff registration stations during August 11-22. District officials increased the number of days from five to 10 in order to facilitate efficiency. Cafeteria doors were opened from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. and then from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. I liked the way registration was scheduled because it wasn't so crowded and was less hectic, said senior class treasurer Daniel Hernandez. Students were greeted at the door by Blue jackets members who checked to see if any students owed unpaid fines to the school. One guy lost all of his books last year and had to pay 1560 in order to register, but he didn't get mad, said treasurer Christy Villanueva. Blue jackets also copied schedules for the counselors, helped students fill out demographic data sheets, and answered the school phones. Working registration helped me get back on the track and in the mood for school, said junior Sabina Loya. On the last day of registration we got a lot of calls from people who asked when registration would begin, said sophomore Katie Potter. I really thought that was funny because they didn't have any idea about what had been going on, Potter added. Detinu members helped the nurse check immunization records and occasionally turned a student away who needed to get shots. I felt so sorry for them, said president Michelle Shipley. Yahna Phi helped the counselors by filing enrollment cards. While I was working for the counselors, Mrs. fShirleyQ Luckett just started singing, and all the counselors joined her, said vice-president Lori Bowden. They were really neat, she added. Anehta Sesea members helped the librarians by copying schedules and assigning library numbers to new students. I got to know the librarians really well, said Jinx Montano. The only difficult thing was sitting on those cafeteria stools, he added. Sabre, Salute, Reveille, and Student Council members sold student activities QSAQ cards and made I.D. cards. The 48 registration four organizations filled out the cards, tendered receipts to students, and photographed every student who registered as well as laminated finished cards. It was interesting dealing with the freshmen because they acted so awed by the process and they didn't know anything, said Salute editor Christina Chavarria. I was explaining to one student that he had to pick up his card after I finished developing his picture. He must have misunderstood me because as soon as the camera flash went off, he picked up the chair, said senior photographer Sylvia Parga. I Key Club members filled in wherever the administration needed assistance. 2' Because Key Club emphasizes service, we felt it was our job to help as much as ., a f ' M ...M I ,, w. we could, said secretary Joe Tovar. 5 . The most interesting registration pastime was fooling freshmen. , Traditional jokes referred to elevator f passes and memberships to the nonexistent swimming pool under the stadium. However, Y Club came up with a new spoof. While waiting to porter textbooks, Y Club members enrolled 43 freshmen in the Eastwood High School Surf Club. Perhaps summer frolics weren't totally in the past.

As though they had visited past eras, many students in 1987 wore styles of the '50s and ,6Os. It seemed as if they polished and brightened the most comfortable and memorable trends of the past. Greeted by a rainbow jukebox, 1 M 1 . students found a cheap treat in oreo cookies and milk at Hudson's Grill. The atmosphere created a detailed scene of a typical '50s hangout. Elements that added to the ambience of the decor were parts of a '52 and '56 Hudson, Benkin gas pumps, and a round neon-ringed clock. Walking into Hudson's gave me the feeling of being in the '50s,'l said senior Anna Laura jaurrieta. Conforming to the nostalgic trend in fashion, girls brought back the style of pony tails and big hair bows. Wearing my hair up in a bow gave a different style to my hair instead of wearing it down all the time, said senior Melissa Martinez. Styles worn by males and females were rolled-up jeans, bobby socks, and Shaker knit sweaters. Mini skirts, maxi skirts, and sweatshirts completed the attire for the trend conscious female. Contemporary was not always the preference. Classic cars accelerated to the top of the list of automobiles for some students. 1 prefer an older type because 1 feel they are much more classyf' said senior Steve Leighty, owner of a '58 Chevy Cameo. Some students drove the same cars that their parents droveiwhen they were in high school. My '56 Chevy Sedan A belonged to my dad when he was in high schoolf' said senior Robert Hernandez. He gave it to me, and we rebuilt it together from scratch, said Hernandez. Preferences for older cars was due to how they were built. 1 prefer an older car because they were built better than the newer ones and are more dependable, said senior jim Watzke. The older ones came with bigger engines, and the bodies were made from metal whereas so many of the new ones have some Fiberglas in the body, said Watzke, owner of a ,65 Mustang Coupe. Most students didn't have to go to extremes to visit the past. It returned to them through the radio waves of their modern day music boxes. They turned up the stereo and listened to revived favorites. For 1986-87 some of the revivals were Venus by Banana Rama, Tears on my Pillow by the New Edition, Twist and Shout by the , Beatles, and California Dreaminn by the Beach Boys. Many students didnlt realize the latest song was just a remake. I was listening to 'Earth Angel' fby the New Editionj on the stereo when my dad asked me why I was listening to his Penguins records, said senior Renee Ramirez. Who are the Penguins any way? Ramirez added. Eeaturezialdiies but go nes 51 ew lubs Come to Campus Purposes Promote Local High Ideals By Timi Haggerty Enthusiasm and awareness were brought to Eastwood with the addition of two new clubs. Both the Pep Squad and Students Against Drunk Drivers fS.A.D.D.j were answers to sagging spirit and teenage alcohol abuse. The pep squad was organized by science teacher Mrs. Stephanie Gill. I started the pep squad in order to give more girls an opportunity to become involved in a school activity and to enhance school spirit, said Gill. The squad's purpose was to encourage students to become more enthusiastic about activities, she added. Many students noticed a lack of enthusiasm after football season closed. I noticed that there seemed to be something missing, said leader Terry Holt. I wanted to help bring spirit back to the school so I joined the pep squad, continued Holt. The squad of 55 girls also helped to support Eastwood's baseball and basketball teams, and the cheerleaders. People didn't seem to realize that the cheerleaders needed to be cheered on too, said treasurer Mary Wiehe. We sat in the stands and helped the cheerleaders get everyone riled up and spirited, added Wiehe. I loved it, said leader Debbie Dove. It was a blast to get together with my friends to help cheer on the teams, said Dove. S.A.D.D. was started through the combined efforts of Vanessa Feliberti, Jinx Montano, Michelle Shipley, and KDBC Cchannel 4, talk show host Fran Ford-Jacques. We started the chapter to inform students about drunk driving and to keep more lives from being lost, said co-sponser Mr. Tom Garcia. The national, state, and local statistics showed that most alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths involved young people, said Ford- jacques. Every school must have a S.A.D.D. chapter in order to wipe out the alarming statistics, she added. Club members helped promote the idea of not driving while drunk. We're not trying to tell people not to drink, we're just asking them not to drive when they do, said president Feliberti, I've had friends who've died in drunk driving accidents, and I wanted to prevent that from ever happening again, she said. S.A.D.D. members signed contracts with their parents. The agreement states that if the teen ever had too much to drink, he or she could call his parents for a ride home without disciplinary repercussions.

In order to promote their cause, S.A.D.D. members sold rear window, warning signs. The diamond-shaped signs said Don't Drink and Drive on one side and Class of '87 on the other. Fighting the S.A.D.D. war was not the only reason that some people joined the club. Not only did I get to influence people not to drink and drive, but I also got to make new friends, said vice- president Montano, I really enjoyed the club, said junior Vanessa Wheatley.

Instilling spirit and encouraging the involvement of the student body was another goal. Before school began STUCO officers were hard at work spending part of their summer at a STUCO convention in San Angelo, Texas during June 21-26. The group attended workshops on how to make their year in office more exciting. At the workshops we learned all about student council, and it gave us a lot of great ideas, said president Charles Perkins. Officers from all parts of Texas came to the workshops to share their ideas and to make new friends. STUCO added a special touch to this year's Homecoming activities with the Kiss the Pig contest. Each STUCO officer's picture was placed on a jar and the member who collected the most money at the end of the week was given the honor of kissing a live pig. Students were encouraged to make their contributions during lunch, as well as before and after school. Vice-president Ron Pruitt won the honor and proved his good sportsmanship by kissing a piglet at the final pep rally of the football season. Hours of hard work were put in by each officer as they planned and discussed each dance and pep rally. Student Council was very time consuming, said secretary Dean Raskins. STUCO felt they had the time and energy to reach their goal of making this year a success. We wanted to make this year a fun and exciting year for everyone, said Raskins. Student council has made us more enthused about getting students involved, said Pruitt. Personally, I felt the Kiss a Pig contest and Homecoming dance were a success, said treasurer Todd Flemion. Striving to get clubs and the student body involved with service projects, the STUCO officers planned many events. ln October STUCO members helped celebrate Mona the elephant's birthday at the El Paso Zoo. For Halloween Students were asked to dress up in costumes to collect money for UNICEF by trick-or- treating. ln November cans of food were collected to feed the hungry. The officers attributed much of their success to the positive response of the student body. During the month of December, students were taken to a local hospital to go Christmas caroling. We were effective in arousing the school ispirit,', said Flemion. 4' r 'qv V is If , ' 1, if ,. K-Qsiur .

While collecting data for the students, staffers created memorable moments for themselves. At times being on yearbook staff was tough. Managing editor Kati Peebles said, To be on staff took a lot of dedication. Staff members and photographers worked together to bring the school year to life. Peebles said, Everybody wants a yearbook. She added, To be behind the scenes of it all is very challenging and rewarding. Staffers learned a great deal of responsibility. I did my best to get my assignments done on time because there were other people counting on me, said staffer Shelli Vasquez. Peebles said, Everybody leaned on everybody else. She added, That was how yearbook workedf' Editors put in extra time and took on extra responsibilities. We needed to know a little of everything, said co- editor Christine Granados. Editors made sure they knew what was going on at all times. They checked staffers, work besides doing their own assignments. They were also in charge of editing and proofreading finished spreads and proofs. I enjoyed the responsibility of helping make the yearbook the best it could be, said assistant editor Alma Lozoya. In order to be a photographer for Salute, students had to be ambitious. I've learned to work with different types of people, said photographer judee Provencio. Head photographer Rick Morales said, It was a challenge to try to consistently put out the best yearbook in the state. Being head photographer required a good deal of responsibility. Serving in that position for a second year, Morales had to assign photographers to make sure all events were covered. Photographer julie Rahn said, In the end weggot the satisfaction of seeing our pictures in the yearbook since we knew how hard it was to sometimes get that perfect picture. Often it was the funny moments that made the staff stick to the task. Late at night when we we were working on deadline, we had some of the wierdest conversations about lifef' said Granados. Each staffer found a way to use personal humor. One night Denicka fMartinezj put Sesame Street stickers all over Ruben's fHernandezj notebook, said senior Lisa Urquizo. Humor helped ease the tension of some serious moments. When Chris fGranadosj and I went to Ysleta to cover a tennis match, I accidentally locked the keys in the car, said Renee Ramirez. We had to walk a long way to find a phone, and we fell in the mud, but all we could do was laugh because we thought we were going to get killed for wearing our letter jackets in the Ysleta neighborhood, Ramirez added. Hard work, dedication, and finding humor paid off when contest results arrived. The 1986 edition of Salute received an All-Texas with Distinguished Merit rating from the Texas High School Press Association QTHSPAJ. It also received a first place rating from the Columbia Press Association, the National Press Association, and the Southern Press Association. Yearbook staffers took first places in three out of four state categories, and in the fourth category the staffer won a second place award. Individual awards from THSPA were Granados ffirst place in theme developmentj, jeff Isbell ffirst place feature photography and second place sports photographyj, Scott Calderwood ffirst place in orginal advertisingj. Advising the publication for a fifth year, Mrs. Gail Love said her job was to help students help themselves. Love said, I was a liaison between the staff and the school. She added, In a way my job was to teach skills and provide the opportunity for students to use them. photographers 57 tudents Do Job the 'Write Wa ' Publications Rated Texas Champs By Mylli Mclain Award winning publications, both the newspaper and the literary magazine staffs experienced changes. Although Sabre and Reveille were two separate publications, in many ways they were quite alike. Sabre, the newspaper, and Reveille, the literary magazine, both had to endure trying and rewarding times. The Sabre staff consisted of 23 members, one of the largest staffs in Eastwood's history. We had more people on the staff this year and more talent over all, said junior Aaron Crouch, managing editor. Led by editor Vanessa De Anda, the Sabre staff struggled to meet deadlines and produce 12 issues during the school year. Staff members were assigned specific jobs. Editorial positions were earned by those with seniority and the ability to handle the job. Beginners were assigned the position of reporters. Being on Sabre and Reveille helped students to better communicate with others. Through the experiences of journalism, Ilve become better able to talk to people and to get my point across, said Sabre business manager Debbie Dove. Both publications received awards for their 1986 efforts. Sabre received top ratings from the National Scholastic Press Association QNSPAJ, and the Interscholastic League Press Conference. Both received first place rankings from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the Southern Scholastic Press Association. The most distinguished 58 Sabre honor was that both Sabre and Reveille were named Texas State Champions by the Texas High School Press Association, a rarity to have two champs from the same school. The Reveille staff consisted of five second-year staffers and seven first-year staffers. Reveille was led by a new sponser, Mrs. Patty Clark who was previously an English teacher at Eastwood. The staff members learned from each other. This years staff was challenging because we pulled together and worked hard to teach the new staffers, said senior Lara Groh. Reveille staffed produced two publications, Reveille and Reveillittle. Reveillittle is a literary magazine produced from the works of students from Eastwood's elementary feeder schools. Published submissions included short stories, poetry and art. I feel it's really good for the kids to see their work published at a young age because it really inspires them to keep writing, said first- year staffer Monica Bryant. usily searching the Compugraphic MCS 5 keyboard for the correct function, Reveille staffer Karen Server sets the type for the magagine. fPhoto by judee Provencioj . - np: . .

Hi-Q' was a televised game show for high school students, the program depicted area high schools competing against each other by answering questions about everything from chemistry to current events. Teams consisted of four members. Eastwood members were team captain Philip Welker, john Reed, Armando Carranza, Tom Aung and alternates Jack Cabaness and Luis Martinez. During tryouts students were tested on how quickly they could correctly recall information. Team positions were filled with qualifiers who would present a very balanced team with each player having his own special talents. Playing Hi-Q was like playing T.V. Trivial Pursuit, said Reed. Being a member of the Hi-Q' team was fun, but it also required a lot of work like studying trivia and keeping up with current events, said Welker. Being on the Hi-Q' show was not all just games, there were still the cameras and stage fright to deal with. Before each show the team would have a practice session to get warmed up. When I first got on the set, I was very nervous, said Carranza. But after a while I got into the game and forgot all about everything else, said Carranza. The first time I was on I-Ii-QI was absolutely terrified, said Welker. After a while all of my concentration was on the game and nothing else, he said. Hi-Q gave its members several opportunities other than being on television. A'Being on the Hi-Q team and competing not only gave me a lot of confidence in other areas, but it also helped me prove to myself that I could compete and do well on the same level as people who were so intelligent, said Reed. I felt really honored to be a part of Hi-Q and be in the company of such gifted people, said Carranza. I had a lot of respect for all of my teammates because they were all special in their own way, said Aung. Another meeting of the minds was the Academic Decathalon, a series of tests which covered a tremendous amount of subjects such as government, fine arts, and economics. All area schools participated by submitting a total of nine students, two A students, two B student, two C students, and one alternate. After a local competition all eligible teams continued to regional and then to national competition. Prizes varied from medals and trophys to scholarships. High scoring teams can receive up to 154,000 per each team member by winning the state championship. All team members were required to attend practices which totaled eight hours each week. The night before the decathalon I was a bit nervous, but I had a lot of fun because of all the new people I met, said Martinez. All of the work and studying was a little frustrating at times because of all the work in my other classes, but in the end it was well worth it, said junior Ann Carr. Participants in the Decathalon had to be knowledgeable in all subjects not just one. Not only did the decathalon teach students good study habits, but it also opened new doors. Before I was in the Decathalon I never would have considered getting into debate, said Martinez. After studying it for the Decathalon, I saw how interesting debate could be, said Martinez. Making sense of their numbers and wearing out their calculators, the math club members experienced another successful year. Although the math club had only three members fAnn Chan, Nata Lee Smith, and Brent Whitej, it still managed to sweep the awards in number sense and calculator math. To ....

To club members, math provided a release. After finishing a math problem I felt a sense of accomplishment, and it helped to clear my mind, said Smith. ln number sense competition, students were required to correctly answer 78 math problems in ten minutes without making any written scratch work. Calculator competition, which replace slide rule events, was very much the same but included word problems and geometry questions. Typing their way to the top, Future Business Leaders of America QFBLAQ applied their knowledge and skills to February UIL contests. Competition categories were typing, word processing, data processing, accounting, and shorthand. In the typing category I had to type a letter in the correct form, and type on envelopes, said vice-president Letty Gonzalez. The toughest aspect for all contestants was that they were timed. Word processing competitors listened to tapes and transcribed the letter or memo. Office procedures contestants had to correctly operate computers and calculators. Data processing also required computer skill. Although accounting competition didn't involve machine skill, it required learned knowledge. Accounting competitors had to fill out forms and payroll sheets. Other than getting ready for competition, FBLA members shared their skills with other clubs. At the beginning of the year we went around and taught other clubs how to conduct a proper meeting and how to correctly select club officers, said president Shanya Williams. More than just learning how to type, I learned how to be a leader, said secretary Lisa Gutierrez. pe F I f ri -Q. 'r' . f e 44f 5 wtf'-rSl'a'. . if , 3 ' ip- . Q, . T. ' 32:3 f . sslee ee.. .

End of a Decade: A New Beginning was the theme of the National Forensic League's tenth annual Sol Power tournament. The tenth year brought about a new beginning for NFL when Miss Shawn Crain replaced Mrs. Rita Harlien as speech coach. It was a lot like deja vu, coming back to the same school and the same room, said Crain, a 1978 ex and debate state champion. Miss Crain has worked before with the squad as a friend, said treasurer and student council representative Mike Gross. She sacrificed a lot of time for us, he added. The November Sol Power tournament hosted schools from New Mexico and Texas. To insure efficiency, seniors and juniors teamed up with newer members in order to facilitate the large turnout. It was a new experience for me,', said Crain. I learned a lot, she added. The speech team competed in numerous tournaments in El Paso and Texas. The squad took second place sweepstakes in the Cathedral tournament and competed in the Plano East Tournament in Plano, Texas. We did FL trasurer Mike Gross checks over his assigned room numbers at the Coronado tournament on November 8. iPhoto by Jerry Waliszewskij 64 NFL really well considering we had never before competed against East Texas schools unless we were at state, said president Andrea Torres. However, having a family feeling among squad members was more important than trophies because it created a squad of class, she added. NFL competed in the West Texas State tournament, where Tim Burns received the best speaker award. The squad took fourth place in sweepstakes at the El Paso Community College Novice Tournament. NFL also competed in tournaments at Loretto, Bel Air, Midland Lee, Ysleta, Irvin, Ysleta, and the Texas Forensic Association tournament in March. In order to compete in the San Angelo tournament, competitors had to be seniors who qualified for state by the first weekend of December. The transition of coaches was not hard for the squad. This was a squad of excellence, and the pursuit of excellence has always been there, said Crain. 'iWe are on the road to rebuilding, but we are still very strong, said Torres. Thespians took their world beyond the stage. In order to gain service points for the organization of the year award, the group did projects such as decorating a hall for Homecoming and making posters which supported sports events, band, and drama. At Halloween Thespians sponsered a face-painting booth. Aside from service projects, Thespians continued to concentrate on acting and technical work in the theater. The troupe performed Kaufman and Hart's comedy, You Can't Take It With You, at the Chamizal Memorial Theater on November 21-23. Thespians took their show on the road to San Fransico, touring with You Can't Take It With You February 12-15. While we were in San Fransisco, we saw some excellent plays at the Curran and Geary Theatersf said director Dr. Bruce Zortman. A Winter Festival on january 8 in the Lecture Room was a showcase of one act plays and scenes. Mime was also on the agenda as Thespians worked with the Theater Arts I-IV classes. A highlight of the evening was the one-act play, Why Argentina?, an original script by Thespians' member jeff Adams. Lead performers were Adams, Scott Putnicki, and joe Moncada. Shakespeare said 'The play is the Thingf and that was what Thespians was designed to accomplish, said Adams. It is important that Thespians remain true to the art of theater, he added. Three seniors took part in the Texas Educational Theatre Association Convention in Lubbock. The competition was held in Lubbock on january 31. The seniors selected to compete were chosen on the basis of grade point averages, SAT scores, talent, ability, and whether they planned to pursue a performing arts major in college. In April, Thespians performed the musical, The Fantasticksf' The performances were held in the lecture room and featured a musical combo of keyboard, drums, and strings for the orchestra in addition to singing. 'Fantasticks' appealed to the younger audience with its rock music score, said Zortman. Thespians presented the May Festival on the 12, 13, and 14 of the month. Similar in format to the the Winter Festival, the May Festival also consisted of one-act plays and scenes. For the event the troupe invited Foothill High School from Pleasanton, California, to perform Scapino. Thespian members hosted the visitors in their homes. To be inducted into Thespians, drama students had to earn ten points. One point equaled ten hours of work after school. Thespians gave me goals, and in the end congratulated all individuals on being good actors or good technicians, said Adams. Thespians ffor 1986-871 was comprised of a stupendous group of students who were energetic, talented, and skillful. said Zortman. acking balloons to a backdrop, Tim Bums sets up the NFL Halloween Carnival booth on October 25.

OEA is the club for students who were enrolled in Vocational Office Education QVOED classes. VOE taught students office skills such as typing, banking, and how to use a word processor and phone properly. In OEA I learned how to act in the business world and how to tolerate other people's attitudes which gave me a brighter outlook on my job, said senior Lisa Feil. Concentrating on expanding knowledge in their field, VICA members learned the responsibilities of a job through experience. In VICA I learned how to fill out an application, hold down a part- time job and still go to school, said junior David Brown. It was a lot of responsibility, but it was all worth it because of all of the knowledge I gained, said Brown.

Varsity and junior varsity rifle teams rounded the year with several competitiors. Both teams competed in practices matches with Bel Air, Hanks, Parkland, Riverside, and Ysleta High Schools November 7 through December 12. Competing shooters got approximately 50 minutes of actual shooting time in which they had to sight in their target 33 feet away. The practices culminated in an overall tournament held at University of Texas at El Paso QUTEPQ on December 13. The combined efforts of the varsity and junior varsity squads earned them a third place. In addition, the varsity team placed eighth in the Southwestern Individual Rifle Tournament at UTEP. Varsity riflemen also attended the National Rifle Association National ' ' ' x ni, . 'Asst ,,,,,, . Junior Indoor Sectional Championships in March. I joined JROTC last year to improve myself as a shooter, said sophomore Gabriel Bustamante. When I'm shooting I'm battling myself physically and mentally, he said. Varsity and junior varsity pistol teams attended matches with Bel Air, Hanks, Parkland, Riverside, and Ysleta High Schools January through February. I feel it's harder to shoot a pistol than it is to shoot a rifle, said sophomore Eddie Loya. The pistol team is more competitive than the rifle team, said Loya. The color guard was divided into two teams. One was an all-female squad with sabre guards. The other included males and females with rifle guards. The two squads alternated presenting the colors at all home football games. Last minute practices were common, said sophomore Beth Holen. Even though it took a lot of time, everyone became friends with the others on their team, and a bond developed through everyone's common goal, said Holen. Male and female drill teams, both color guards, both rifle teams, and and both pistol teams attended the Annual Drill Meet Rifle Match and Color Guard Competition on December 6 in Odessa where the varsity rifle team placed fourth. All groups attended the Bel Air Annual Invitational Drill Meet, Rifle Match and Color Guard Competition on April 4. All groups also attended Riverside High School's Drill Competition in March. I thought it was really great that everyone had such good sportsmanship and that during the competition everyone was quiet and so polite, said freshman April Scales. The students were rewarded for their hard work on April 24 at the Annual Ysleta Independent School District JROTC Awards Ceremony. Also, the Annual Military Ball, held on April 25 provided an extra reward. The military ball was really nice, said Loya.

From Christmas caroling to offering the teachers a Christmas breakfast and program, student groups fulfilled holiday dreams. On December 17, the Cavaliers went to Eastridge and did some caroling from house to house. Going Christmas caroling really made me feel like I was giving something of myself, said junior Valerie McClellan. The people were really nice and cooperative, and I really enjoyed singing for them, she added. Among other activities were the Blue Jackets faculty breakfast. On December 19 Blue jacket Club members offered a breakfast for all the teachers. The breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs or pancakes, sausage, gravy, hash browns, cinnamon rolls. biscuits, and tortillas which we all helped serve, said junior Irais Molina. Blue jackets also went Christmas caroling at Vista Hills Medical Center. We did the best singing that we could, but I think we really don't have a good voice, said sophomore julie Smith. They were very nice audiences, she said. If it had been another crowd, they probably would have booed us out of there, added Smith. Eastwood Lettermen's Association QELAJ members also added their voices to the efforts. Going caroling fat Providence Memorial Hospitalj was a new and totally different experience for me, said senior Tony Provencio. Seeing how little boys and little girls faces just light up really gave me a feeling of human accomplishment, said senior Matt Howard. ELA also decorated Cielo Vista Mall with luminarios on Christmas Eve.

Although Trooperettes had their hands full trying to raise funds for a trip to south Padre Island in February, they found time to sponser a food drive. We made food baskets for the elderly and for the orphans since those groups were the ones who needed it the most, said sophomore Sonia Apodaca. Y Club members held a paper drive to raise money for their Christmas project. Some of the money was used for clothes and the rest was spent on food for poor children in the lower valley, said senior Brett Wagner. French classes also got into the spirit. Accompanied by Mrs. Sharon Fabiano, French classes sang Christmas carols for Mount Hope Luthern Church's Day Care Center for the Elderly. It was neat getting out of class sio that we could go caroling to the elderly, said sophomore Cynthia Toro.

The event was held on Saturday, January 31. Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis, Vivien Leigh, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, and Mae West adorned the gymnasium stage in a star-studded setting. Mistresses of ceremonies were Salute co-editor Christine Granados and Sabre co-editor Venessa De Anda. Named Miss Eastwood 1987, sophomore Michelle Strickland was crowned by Eastwood's Most Beautiful 1985 Aline Herrera. I was nervous, said Strickland. I didn't think I would get it, said Strickland. First runner-up was Holly Morris. Second runner-up was Amy Powell. Rana Rittgers was third runner-up, and Cyndie Anderson took fourth place. It was a real good experience to get to know people and was a chance to become more involvedf' said Rittgers. judges for the event were Jamie Archer, Diana Durnford, Chris Hayes, Christa Lutz. Paul Russo, Donna Smith, and Kathy Wall. Contestants were judged on categories such as face appearance, figure, poise, and choice of apparel. It was really important to have good stage presence, said Powell. During the sportswear segment of the pageant, each contestant presented herself in a sports outfit with a corresponding prop. At first I felt nervous, but I felt more confident during the formal wearf' said Nicole Pruitt. Entertainment for the pageant consisted of performances by Saltatrix, Caryn Hickman, Albert Hibbert, and the Madrigals. Formal wear was presented as contestants were escorted from a limousine onto the stage. Ten finalists were chosen and each was asked a question concerning her personal interests and hobbies. I thought the questions were really easy because in the Miss Teen USA pageant the questions were really hard, said Powell. It fthe pageantj helped me to build some confidence, said Michelle Gutierrez. Strickland and Morris were awarded modeling jobs from the Fran Simon Modeling Agency among other prizes. If girls are thinking of being in the Eastwood pageant, they should go for it, said Strickland.

According to a survey of 100 students, the favorite movie for 1986 was Top Gun. Starring Tom Cruise as Maverick, a young navy pilot who competed with other fliers of F-14 jets, the teen audience identified with Maverick's internal conflict and search for identity. A secondary part to Maverick's maturation process was his love affair with his jet instructor Charlie, portrayed by Kelly McGillis. As Maverick becomes completely immersed in his dreams of glory, he loses Charlie to her career goals. As Maverick becomes the best flier at the Top Gun training academy, he also wins back Charlie's affection. Most memorable was the You've Lost That Lovin Feeling reunion of the two lovers for that happily ever after ending. Nostalgic musical memories were also a main attraction of the number two 1987 movie, Stand By Me. Not the typical gore that Stephen King fans usually flocked to the theater to see, Stand By Me captured the typical adolescent experience of the '50s. Four young boys set out on a publicity stunt of revealing the whereabouts of a murder victim. In reality they discover maturity. The tough leader Chris uses his sagacious wisdom to encourage the others to live up to their potential. The narrator and main character Gordy develops the self-confidence to not only pursue his own path of education, he also learns to stand by his friends. As for the other two, Teddy and Vern, they will probablly be the faithful followers that all of us cherish in our lives. Stand By Me was a film that may have been produced to spark memories of the baby-boom generation, but it taught teenagers of the 80's a lesson that paid off at the box office. 74 feature: movies Other top favorites among students in order of preference were Aliens, Ferris Bueller's Day Offf' Crocodile Dundee, The Fly, Pretty In Pink, American Anthem, Back to School, and Karate Kid II. Each movie was popular for a different reason. 'Back to School' was outrageous because it showed that there were all types of education, said senior Tony Woodson. Senior Brett Wagner said, The graphics in 'The Fly' made it one of the most interesting movies I've seen. 'Ferris Buller's Day Off focused on school life and was very entertaining, said sophomore Michelle Strickland. The overall response to the poll revealed that no one type of movie was guaranteed to please. The main message was that they wanted to be entertained.

Circumstances made some of the tasks unpleasant. Cleaning the stadium after a Friday night game or pouring sodas for a thirsty basketball mob of fans were jobs that a few dedicated teens dared to accomplish. Equipped with brooms, plastic sacks and a smile, the members of Sigma Chi and Blue jackets prepared to tackle the job of cleaning Eastwoodls stadium after home games. I didn't like cleaning the stadium because it was a dirty job, but I did it to help beautify the school, said junior Sigma Chi member Mylli McLain. Sometimes the stadium swarmed with club members while on other Saturdays xi n only three or four volunteers showed up for work. It's pretty hard for only three people to clean a stadium,'l said junior Blue jackets member Pat Avila. It's not that no one caredg itis just that when it came right down to it everyone would rather do the fun things and not participate in the not so fun activities, she added. During the football games the Eastwood Letterman's Association sold ribbons, pins, and programs. Proceeds provided scholarships for senior ELA members and monies to fund the group's charity projects. One of our goals was to help raise spirit for the Troopers, said sophomore ELA member Cathy Rojo. After the football season ended, Blue jackets continued to work to support Trooper games. During basketball games our club sold popcorn, snacks, and drinks in the concession stand, said senior Blue jackets member Bonnie Delgado. It was fun, but sometimes it could get very hectic, she added. Each club had its own reasons for working game-related jobs. Whatever the reason for volunteering, the members learned to work together to get the job done on time. lue Jackets member Mike Carrasco prepares a bag of popcorn while working the concession stand during a boy's varsity basketball game held at Eastwood. iPhoto by Anna Laura jaurrietaj LA member Tony Provencio makes his pitch to a prospective customer while selling football programs for the Eastwood!Coronado game. iPhoto by Anna Laura jaurrietaj lue Jackets member Ann Barnhart works at the concession stand for a varsity boys basketball game and helps hungry fans Richard Hernandez and Pam Granado find a treat. iPhoto by Christine Granadosj work games 77 ervice Clubs Aid Communities Teens Give Comfort to Good Causes By Mylli McLain Charity played a major role in the purpose of many service clubs. Student Council QSTUCOJ officers and members collected canned foods for the STUCO sponsored food drive. Three clubs went out of their way to do charitable projects. One such clubs was the Future Homemakers of America Members ran the entire Adopt a Smoker program as well as made small stuffed animals and pillows as part of their partnership with the local chapter of the American Cancer Society, During Christmas time FHA decorated the El Paso Convalescent Health Care Center. Key Club also completed many charity projects. Before school started members worked at a snow cone booth at the El Paso Street Festival to help raise money 78 service clubs for needy children. Key club also answered telephones for the jerry Lewis Telethon. Working these charity projects gave me a sense of accomplishment, said junior Gloria Ruiz. It's a nice feeling to know that I was able to help out other peopleg that's the reason why I joined Key Club, she added. Residents of Vista Hills Convalescent Home received visits from members of Sigma Chi. Volunteers ran simple errands for the nurses such as delivering clean laundry and taking dirty dishes to the kitchen. Sometimes members had the spare time to visit with the elderly residents. I learned a lot from the people there while I talked to them, said freshman Lorena Gomez. Some of them are really very interesting, said Gomez. ith extreme care, OEA member janice Vargas replaces the glass shelf in the main hall trophy case after cleaning it. iPhoto by Curtis Solisj .Rake in hand, Tony Urrutia helps clean the fifth hall patio as one of the club's service projects for the improvement of the school campus.

We began practicing the music in January and worked on it one section at a time, said director Mrs. Karen Pilgrim. It was really hard to get the timing right so they'd peak right at contest time, not before or after, Pilgrim said.

We are really not concerned about competition with any other clubs within the school, we just want to play our music, go to state, and win, said Michael Puga. Orchestra consisted of players of classical instruments like violins and cellos. It was hard playing a stringed instrument, but it was worth it when I learned how to play it very wellf' said vice-president Kathy Borrego. The orchestra played upbeat classical music such as OverturefD-Durbachingnasn by Charles W. Gluck. ' Many musicians found orchestra challenging. It was a very interesting experience for me being involved with the orchestra for the past four years, said president Dean Raskins. It was harder than years before because we played harder pieces, but it was still very fun,' said Jonathon Terrazas. Consisting of 70 players, the orchestra was involved in many activities. One highlight was entering a giant rabbit float in the Homecoming parade. I thought it was one of the best floats and should have won first place, said parliamentarian Daniel Hernandez. The musicians were active in raising money. They sold chocolate bars, mints, sausages, candles, and cookies. The Orchestra held garage sales and were paid to play at Bassett Center Mall. The money raised went to attending a S Ramirez, Cindy Pinon, Sandra Rodarte, Marissa Payan, Elisa Navaro, Regina Valenzuela, Tina Caylor, Olga Sotelo, Marissa Pineda,Jackie Carrasco, jennifer Villanueva, Debbie Flemming, and Brenda 82 orchestra competition at the World of Music Festival in San Fransisco. The festival was held the first week of May. Held in the old gym, the Christmas concert on Dec. 16 included elementary students as well the high school set. A variety of holiday songs like Sleigh Ride was played. The performance featured soloists Raskins and Cristina Tarpley. Tarpley also was the student conductor for the Holly Jolly Christmas number. We practiced for the Christmas concert on weekends, during lunch, after school, and whenever we could find timef' said Terrazas. It was hard work, but it paid off, said Borrego. There were eight orchestra members that were selected for All-state. The All- state orchestra competition was held during Valentine's Day weekend in San Antonio. At the competition the All- staters performed in either of two levels of orchestra. The two levels were Symphony Orchestra, or Harmonic Orchestra. I enjoyed orchestra a lot, said secretary Tarpley. K'It helped me since I am planning to major in music in college, said Tarpley. The eight All-state members were Raskins fviolin and celloj, Borrego fviolaj, Monica Lastra fviolaj, Ivan Garcia fviolaj, and Aaron Ingle fviolaj, Tarpley Qcelloj, Frank Candelaria Qviolinj, and Norma Martinez fcelloj as the alternate.

Touchdowns became the familiar sight as the varsity football team clenched the bi-district title and went and competed in the area playoff. The boys' and girls' basketball teams were ranked number one in the city.

C In a m p 1 0 n By Rick Morales Untimely injuries and the lack of respect were factors that led the 1986 varsity football team to its best record ever at 10-2. Starting the season with 32 seniors, the Troopers were determined to overcome back to back 4-5 seasons. At the begining of the season, the media picked us to finish third in our district, said offensive guard Willie Barry C611 Even when we beat Bel Air and Riverside, we still didn't get any respect, but we tried harder to prove them wrong, Barry added. With the tragic loss of quarterback David Ortega, the Troopers had to work together to win. When we lost David, we had to pull together and play more like a team, said All-city tailback Ruben Granado f43j. Matt Howard took over the quarterback duties and performed well. When David went down, we knew we had to change the offense a little to help Matt, said Herald Post Coach of the Year Mr. Todd Ware. Howard was lost for the season with a wrist injury and was replaced by fourth string quarterback Tony Woodson. The Troopers had an explosive offense which scored 346 points and a stingy defense which allowed only 185 points. Our defense had a goal to keep all district opponents scoreless, which had never been done, said All-district defensive end Luis Sanchez Q52j. Leading the city with 1,605 yards rushing, Chuy Estrada led the Troop into the playoffs. Estrada, who rushed for 951 yards in the final five games, accredited the offensive line with his performances. The line did a great job opening holes, said Estrada. I couldn't have done it without them. Chuy took over the leadership role when we really needed him to, said Ware. EASTWOOD 42 AUSTIN 7 The cavalry began the preseason with a 86 varsity football convincing 42-7 victory over the Austin Panthers. In pouring rain, Trooper tailback Ruben Granado rushed for 149 yards on 19 carries and scored two touchdowns. EASTWOOD 35 CORONADO 31 Next in preseason were the cross-town rivals from Coronado. In a highly tempermental game, the Troopers defeated the Thunderbrids 35-31. Starting quarterback David Ortega QIOJ was tragically lost for the season with a serious knee injury. Split end Edward Givens led the Troop by catching five passes for 191 yards and scored four touchdowns. EASTWOOD 0 MIDLAND LEE 20 The final preseason game was played against the state-ranked Rebels from Midland Lee. Third string quarterback Matt Howard completed 12 passes out of 26 for 132 yards. Midland gave the Troop their first setback 20-0. EASTWOOD 55 CANTUTILLO 0 The annual Homecoming game marked the start of district play. Because of eight running backs who rushed for 292 yards, the Troopers easily defeated the Canutillo Eagles 55-0. EASTWOOD 34 SOCORRO 14 In a battle of the unbeaten, Eastwood easily beat Socorro 34-14. Tailback Ruben Granado led the way by rushing for 143 yards on 18 carries with one touchdown. EASTWOOD 17 YSLETA 9 In a close contest Eastwood narrowly defeated the Ysleta Indians 17-9. Ruben Granado paved the path to victory by rushing for 135 yards on 18 carries. EASTWOOD 34 PARKLAND 7 In a controversial game Eastwood breezed by the Parkland Matadors 34-7. Parkland intentionally wet the field hoping to stop the Troop's running attack. Matt Howard threw three touchdown passes to Edward Givens in order to seal the victory. EASTWOOD 26 BEL AIR 17 The Eastwood! Bel Air game usually decided the champion in district 2-5A.i This year was no different. Both teams entered the game with unblemished records. Trailing with no time remaining until the half, quarterback Matt Howard threw a touchdown pass to Edward Givens to cut the margin 10-6. Howard then threw two more touchdown passes and rushed for the final touchdown. Chuy Estrada led the rushing attack with 173 yards on 24 carries to lead the Troop to a 26-17 victory. EASTWOOD 42 RIVERSIDE 28 Behind the running of Chuy Estrada who rushed for 252 yards and four touchdowns, the Troop defeated the Riverside Rangers, 42-28 to clinch the 2-5A championship. EASTWOOD 34 HANKS 7 The district 2-5 champions were led by Chuy Estrada who rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns in an easy victory over neighborhood rivals, the Hanks Knights Q34-7Q. Bi-district EASTWOOD 17 AUSTIN 14 For the first itme in three years the Troop entered the state 5-A playoffs. Chuy Estrada led the Troopers with 218 rushed yards on the ground. The Troop advanced in the playoffs with a narrow 17-14 victory. EASTWOOD 10 AMARILLO 31 Eastwood's dreams of a state title were shattered as the Sandies from Amarillo defeated the Troopers 31-10. The Troopers were led by Chuy Estrada who rushed for 148 yards on 18 carries. Having played the best season the Eastside has experienced in the last three years, losing a state title hope was a disappointment. We were like Rodney Dangerfield, we never got any respectf said Ware.

The JV team placed second while the frosh tied for third respectively in 2-AAAAA district competitions. The junior varsity won five out of eight games. Team leadership and playing well together made the team so outstanding, said JV coach Mr. Steve Stemsrud. The team's hard work and dedication helped us be successful, said JV fullback Matt Martinez Q4lJ. Leading defensive players for the junior varsity team were guard Eddie Guiterrez f62J, safety Ricky Aguilar 1211, tackle Eddie Rodriguez Q73j, and defensive end Jorge McNicol The offensive line was powerful. Averaging 220 pounds, leading offensive players were quarterback Rocky Daily fl2J, fullback Martinez, tight end Mike Shindo f86J, and center Robert Flores 1521. Showing his all-around abilities, Gil Molina C40J played on both the offensive and defensive squads. Going into the second game against Ysleta, the junior varsity was tied for the first place district crown. We played terrible at that game because we didn't play as a team, said quarterback Gary Aubin The JV Troop lost 8-39 which put them in second place. Working together was a sure start for the freshman football team. The freshmen were very team-oriented in helping each other, said coach Mr. Tom Garcia.

One of the most exciting games was played against Hanks. At halftime Hanks was leading 18-6, but in a thrilling second half the freshmen Troopers came back to win the game 19-18. It was great beating Hanks because they were our biggest rivals, said Villapondo. The defense was led by defensive end Gene Scott Q23j, guard Mario Aguilar Q53J linebacker Ramon Arciniega ark and cornerback Matt Eden 1601 David Rivera f41j played on both the offensive and defensive squads. Ending the season the freshman team tied for third in district. I thought we could have done better because we had a lot of talent but didn't use it, said Marc Verduin f86J. By the time these freshmen and junior varsity players get to varsity, the varsity coaches will have a state-champion caliber team, said Garcia. gm?-9.

At the beginning of the season we were surprised at how good we were doing, but then toward the middle of the season we didn't work as a team, said senior Suzie Martinez. For the season opener the squad took to the court in the Lubbock Tournament. The team rallied to a 15-8, 15-ll win against Duma High School to claim first place honors. We had pride and wanted to bring the first place trophy back to El Paso, said senior Bertha Mendoza. We worked together as a team, Mendoza added. After the Lubbock tournament success, the team surprisingly lost momentum. We lacked leadership and the desire to win, said senior Laura Benavides. We were used to winning in the past so we thought it would be easy, but we never went after it, added Benavides. When individual talent overpowered team work, inconsistency stepped in. Each player wanted to be better than the other, said Mendoza. We had our moments when we played very strong, said coach Miss Cathy Dickason. When we played up to our capabilities defensively, we could pick up anythingf' added Dickason. Potentially the members had many talents. If we had played more as a team we could have gone far because we had the talent, said Benavides. This year we had more overall talent and were stronger in skills, said Dickason. Disappointment set in as the team lost 90 varsity volleyball Disunified six district bouts. I was very disappointed in myself mostly because there was no excuse for having a losing season, said senior Christine Granados. We could have at least made the playoffs if everything hadn't happened the way it did, said Martinez. 3 Evaluating the Bel Air opposition, jessica Brewster C142 grind dinks the ball for a point. iPhoto by Curtis Solisj Back Row player Kasey McCarty 110D receives the Hanks serve and passes to the pocket. fPhoto by Rick Moralesj 1, , ,N Varsity volleyball players are FRONT ROWg Suzie Martinez, Laura Benavides, Jessica Brewster, Bertha Mendoza, Sara Ramirez, Beth May, and manager Vanessa Feliberti and manager Frances Kasey McCarty, BACK ROW: coach Miss Cathy Villa.

A A mental breakdown after scoring 10 points plagued the junior varsity squad. The squad was defeated by Coronado in the first game Q9-l5j, but picked up the ball in the next game to win 15-11. The next three matches to Bowie, Burgess, and Fabens resulted in upsets. We really didn't know each other on the court, said defensive player Sheri Hawks We never picked up what the competition gave us, she added. We needed to mature as a team, said defensive player Ruth Lloyd. Led by defensive players Cynthia Hernandez and Yvette Bustillos, the team edged closer to the district title. At the Irvin Tournament, the team defeated Canutillo Q15-5j, C15-IOQ and Irvin Q15-Ilj, Q8-15j, Q14-12j. Learning new plays unified with mental concentration to work in the team's favor. After we analyzed our strengths and weaknesses the team played well, said coach julie Dial. The communication and unity were there, she added. The squad's toughest opponent was Hanks. The players lost two out of three games to the Knights C12-15, and Q11-155. We were very intimidated by Hanks, said Lloyd. If we had just settled down and played our game against them, we could have won, but we were unprepared mentally, she added. Lacking in fundamental skills, the freshmen squad turned their weakness into strength. Ranked sixth in district, the team faced heavy competiton from Socorro and Hanks. The squad defeated Socorro Q17-15j, but suffered upsets Q4-15D and Q5-151. The squad lost to Hanks the first time on court Q11-15Q and Q3-151, but overcame the competition Q15-llj f12-9j when it faced Hanks the second time. We had the attitude that if we were losing, all confidence was lost, said center Debbie Martinez. Preparing for each individual game, the team picked up momentum. The squad pulled in victories over Riverside, Parkland, Hillcrest, Bel Air, and Ysleta High. Rosie Borrego and Rebecca Castner were the top scorers. The strength of the team was their desire to learn and their willingness to work hard, to keep trying, and to never give up, said coach Ms. Michelle Ponce. The season's toughest bout came in the form of forfeit to Ysleta junior High. Due to conflicting scheduling with the band trip, the squad was left with four players for the season's final game. It was very hard to work for a common goal and then be forced to forfeit as an ending note, said Ponce. We couldn't compete if we were not allowed to play, and that was the toughest loss and lesson of all, she added. The freshman season was a learning experience. I had more confidence, and I became more aggressive in my playing during the seasonf said Castner. I think the team learned some very valuable lessons, not only about volleyball, but about life in general, said Ponce. 92 iunior varsity volleyball Junior varsity players are FRONT ROW: Aralee Ramirez, Sandra Gomez, Ruth Lloyd, and Sherri Hawks, BACK ROW: Cindy Hernandez, Cathy Peveto, Ms. julie Dial, jennifer Sarabia, and Allison Hall.

Cross country runners need to be able to run without the benefit of lap pace, said coach Mr. Doug Littlejohn. Pace must be set and held for a much longer time, Littlejohn said. Running every day after school several miles really paid off in the long run, said sophomore Cathy Rojo. Building physical strength was not the only factor involved in the cross country training , but developing mental strength played a very important part for the team. It's bad to give up when a runner knows that he can do it, said senior Dusty McCombs. Practice sessions after school and numerous invitational contests helped the Troopers build the endurance they needed for the final meet of the year. Our determination and self- discipline made us the best individually, but believing in ourselves made us champions, said junior Rob Walker. Male and female runners learned to regulate their pace, control their breathing, and withstand the temptation to stop when tired. To be a good long distance runner, it took more than simply being a good athlete, said sophomore Norma Padilla. The local meets also gave the runners a chance to review their opponents and to plan strategic moves to pace themselves to meet or beat their opponents. I had an enjoyable time running because it gave me and the rest of the team a chance to meet new people and see new places, said junior Richard Flores. 94 boys cross country -. - .ff ' fr I i ds . ,', 5 , K, s 1 ,. if V' G 'I 1 if .. aswfsi is r '.'

The success of this year's team was due primarily to the talent of the players and their drive to become more experienced, said coach Mrs. Endi Vargas. Although the players on the team were equal in talent and experience, Laura Harmon and Ann Carroll showed the dedication that it took to become the year's most valuable players, said Vargas. girls varsity basketball 97 3 Qi i fm if 5 llsmfwtw hasta. .m.wfggg3T.,Si iii Z 5 airing M.. ..ws..5Zgg,7g2 :mamma azz: P V X i A :' - S K K W kL'h .v.i X...J . ii Q K ' ,ja P. t cati . ,g ,i.i.ip .

Growth Incent By Kati Peebles and Jennifer Stotts Striving to become varsity material, trials became a learning experience as the girls junior varsity and freshman basketball teams completed their seasons 3-10 UVJ and 2-13 ffroshj. Coaches Miss Julie Dial and Ms. Michelle Ponce worked with the girls to teach mental and physical discipline. The Lady Troopers learned respect and teamwork. Situations that were not always ideal for harmony laid the groundwork for improving communication. We needed to learn to work together, pass the ball, and stop freaking out at gamesf' said freshman guard Dawn White 1445. Teammates learned not to let misunderstanding hinder team unity. Sometimes conflicts started when Coach Ponce refused to put one of us into a game, but we worked it out in the end, said freshman guard Debbie Martinez 1205. On game days players would eat lunch together. We needed to learn to communicate on and off the court, said freshman point Monica Lujan Awed by the pressure of competiton, freshmen and junior varsity players struggled to improve their weaknesses in the area of concentration and the 0 execution of basic skills. We panicked during games and just made too many mistakesf' said junior varsity guard Maureen Cox Q20j. Practice wasn't the only preparation the girls underwent to get ready for games. Besides reviewing plays in their heads, the coaches instilled high team spirits through pre-game pep talks. During games Dial's reactions to plays kept the players on the ball. I saw coach fDialj on the sidelines biting towels, pacing and screaming, said Cox.

Our team did pretty well this year because of our strong defense, said junior forward Buddy Bachicha 1511. I'd rather score defensively because it gives us more momentum, said senior guard joe Ontiveros Vigorous practices usually lasted two hours. Players worked on shooting and other areas that were weak. We did a lot of drills which involved game situations that helped us know what to expect, said senior guard Steve Armendariz 1331. Rebounding and speed proved helpful in building a strong team. It encouraged us to take advantage of the fast breaks, said junior forward jimmy Moreno CGD. In our game against Riverside both paid off because we started rebounding better, said senior guard Mark Huttanus . . 3 sf'- f4lQ. Our best rebounder was Rick Olivas because because he was the most consistent rebounder and shooter we had, added Huttanus. The first tough game for the team was the first game of the season against El Paso High. The game was lost 56-55. We played tough through the whole game, but at the end a strategic error took it away from us, said junior center Randy Bustillos C451 An opponent was left open and the Tigers were able to score in the last few seconds of the game. Many players agreed that the toughest opponents to face were the Bel Air Highlanders. They really handled the ball well, said Bustillos. Although Eastwood had a 15 point lead, Bel Air came back at the end and almost won. The final score was 66-63. They were so good because they were fast, quick and they shot well, said senior guard Mike Jeffreys C355 The experience of third year varsity player Brett Wagner helped the team in many ways. If it's a crucial situation, I can keep the team calm because I've been there, said senior guard Wagner USD. He pulls the team together in tight situations because he has a lot of poise and control, said Ontiveros. Head coach Mr. Bobby Lesley also played an important role in the team's success. He knew who to put in and who could do the job, said senior forward Tony Provencio He did his best coaching, but it was up to us to perform, added Wagner. Other factors that helped bring the team together were the player's mental attitudes toward the game and each other. Because of teamwork, the team has progressed as a unit, said Lesley.

Both squads prepared players for higher levels of competition. I prepared my players to play on a varsity basketball level, said junior varsity coach Mr. Gary Pippen. Open tryouts for both teams started on November 15, 1986 and continued for five days to anyone interested in playing basketball. Each coach had different methods of choosing their team. Pippen looked for those who showed potential for development and those with good attitudes. The hardest part about practice was running up and down the court time after time, said JV player Mark Smith 1255. Freshmen coach Mr. Sam Hughes kept statistics on each player with each having 50 individual scores. The players with the highest scores made the team. Hughes said he also looked for players who displayed the most hustle, desire, and Flne . growth possibilities. Practice for both teams involved running lines, constant drilling such as tworon-two or full court fast breaks, and working on offensive and defensive plays used during a game. The hardest part of basketball was accepting a loss and having to work harder in practice on the mistakes we made, said sophomore Brandon Bentley 1515. The junior varsity team started the season winning the first two of their three district games. The game lost was to Eastside rival Hanks High. We lost the game in the last seconds when Hanks guard Danny Perez threw up a Hail Mary shot from half court and made it just as the buzzer soundedf' said sophomore Victor Salazar 1151 junior jeff Fails 1351 said, The team's best game was the Hanks game, not only because we went into overtime but also because we were evenly matched talent-wise. Coaching and teamwork was the key to a winning season. The hardest part of coaching is trying to get five individuals to mesh as a unit, said Pippen. As a freshmen basketball player I learned to play as an aggressive member of a team and not as an individual, said freshman Chris Sweeney Along with learning the basics freshmen learned many valuable lessons. According to freshman Mark Yerduin 122Q, when he went out of town for a weekend and missed a practice, he sat out of an entire game. Coach Hughes had warned them that if they did not practice, they would not play. Verduin said, I learned to respect my coach. junior varsity and freshmen players felt both teams were geared toward learning. Verduin said, Freshmen basketball is more competative than eighth grade basketball. He added, If you want to play freshmen basketball, you have to put forth the effort. Marc Acosta 1451 said, Freshmen basketball is for learning and junior varsity basketball is perfecting what a player has learned.

Going into district competition, the girls team remained undefeated. Inside competition of the city is the toughest for the girls, said coach Mr. Steve Flato. It's equivalent to competition outside the city for the boys, - he added. Developing the stamina for swimming required bravery and endurance. Swimmers worked in a foreign environment which made it a totally unique sport by itself, said Flato. Each swimmer swam a total of 12 miles a week and 200 yards in each meet, he said. Before swimming season began, swimmers could be seen working out on the track and running laps. Team members also worked out for other teams like the Water Ranch, Aqua Possi or the Sun City squads. Some swimmers were in three workouts a day just to improve on different stokes. A lot of the swimmers belonged to more than one team. Being on two different teams had its advantages and disadvantages, said Karla Harper, who also swam for the Water Ranch. Harper said, The advantage was that I got a different workout, but the disadvantage was that it was possible to be torn between two differnent coaching ideas.

A swimmer wasn't always only out to win against an opponent, but was also out to better herself and get a better time, said sophomore Lisa Smith. Each swimmer was encouraged to compete in the events that best suited that swimmer. Coach Flato picked the stroke that we made the best time in, said Christine Stiglich.

The fall team had a lot of players who had never played tennis before, said coach Ms. Deby Lewis. We had the knowledge but not the experience on our girls team, said senior Alex Ramirez. Tryouts started mid-summer. In order to develop their own diversified tennis styles, players worked on their mental attitude, techniques, and timing. The hardest part of tennis was the mental aspect of the game, said senior Christian Dennison. I think the hardest part of tennis was the frustration, said sophomore Shane Lampman. It took more concentration than any other sport I know of, he added. With Dennison ranked first in district and senior Luis Zuverza close behind in third place, the boys team advanced. In spring duel matches the boys won the district championship with a 9-2-l record. During the fall the boys took second place with a record of 5-1. The spring season also faired well for the girls team with an ll-l record winning them first place in district. Despite the inexperience of the all-new fall girls team, they managed fourth place for the fall season with a record of 2-4. Sophomore Merridith Christian earned number two spot in the district in the girls individual ratings. In tournament play the team tied for 106 tennis second in the Hanks Team Tournament and received third in the Ysleta Team Tournament. Senior Todd Flemion said, The difference between duel matches and tournaments was that team tournaments required a team effort, whereas in district matches, players competed as individuals. Attitudes won games. Attitude was a major part of the game, said Zuverza. Non one could win with a bad attitude or weak will, he added. Mental strength was a frame of mind. Christian fDennisonj was a good example of a strong mental player,'i said Christian. He had a strong mental attitude that wonf' she added. Senior Monty Griffin said, If a player's head was not in the game, he or she was not going to win. In order to win we learned to play tough, to hang in there, to think, and to fight, said Zuverza. .

QPhoto by julie Rahny tennis 107 By Ruben Hernandez Sweat is what it's all aboutg cutting weight is what it is called. It is probably the most strenuous task a wrestler faces. For a wrestler cutting weight is done because he has to weigh just the right poundage for his designated weight class. A wrestler has a choice to pick his weight class out of thirteen classes. Each has a seven pound difference. If he doesn't like to sweat and can't handle staying away from liquid and food for two days, then he shouldnlt consider wrestling. A Man has to have will power to complete such a task. A proper way of cutting weight would be to watch the foods eaten and amount of liquids drunk. A wrestler should keep watch of his weight every day before and after practice. Going usickl' all week to lose those extra pounds is how it's done. He wears plastics and tons of clothes while doing exercises in a heated room. Depending on how much he needs to lose in one day, a process of sweating-out can go on for thirty to forty-five minutes. After draining all the water and electrolytes out of his system while sweating, he can restore his strength by drinking Gatorade and citrus JUICCS. Sometimes it is necessary to wear plastics and not eat the day before the match. Spitting in a cup and urinating as much as possible are desperate measures to reach that goal. A person can lose six to seven pounds without dehydrating, but he has a hard time losing the last two to three pounds. It is okay for a wrestler to go home weighing one pound over his designated weight. As long as he stays away from liquids and foods, he should lose that last pound while he is asleep. Two to three hours before a match, rules state that a wrestler must weigh in exactly at the weight he wishes to wrestle. If he doesn't make weight, a referee usually gives him thirty to forty-five minutes to try and sweat out the extra pounds. The feeling of making weight is a goal accomplished after many hours of suffering. After weigh-ins a wrestler usually gets an hour to go and eat before his match. The following Monday, the process of cutting weight starts all over. I Awarded the first place medal, 98 lb.

The first was the addition of four new schools to the district wrestling program. Secondly, only four wrestlers with varsity experience returned to the team. Last but not least, the no pass-no play rule eliminated two major teammates. The grapplers were faced with a rebuilding year that held many surprises including an individual state championship and an overall sixth place at the state tournament held in El Paso on February 13 and 14. I was extremely surprised because at the beginning of the year we looked very inexperienced, but we ended up qualifying eleven wrestlers for the state tournamentf, said third year coach, Mr. Ben Avalos. El Paso was the largest wrestling region in the state for many years before the Ysleta district decided to add wrestling programs to four schools and create separate regions. The four schools were Bel Air, Parkland, Riverside, and Ysleta, Eastwood had an overall record in dual matches of 8-3 while obtaining a 5-0 record in the Ysleta region. The matmen placed second at the Bowie Invitational, and placed third at both the Las Cruces Invitational and the Riverside tournament. At the regional tournament held at Hanks, Eastwood finished first in the overall team standings, With the creation of the new region, it enabled us to qualify more wrestlers for the state championship, said third-year-letterman Tony Urrutia. Otherwise we probably would only have sent about five, he said. The eleven wrestlers that qualified for the state tournament were senior co- captain Ruben Hernandez 198 lbsj, junior Adrian Davila 1105 lbsj, senior co-captain Urrutia 1112 lbsj, junior Eric Hamilton 1119 lbsj, senior Jim Cicchetti 1126 lbsb, junior julio Zuverza 1132 lbsj, junior Steve Spitzer 1138 lbsj, senior Chris Anderson 1145 lbsj, junior Les McKay 1155 lbsj, junior joe Rendon 1176 lbsj, and freshman David Rivera 1185 lbsj.

The six week punishment is too long, said Ochoa. It should be a week or two, he added. The state tournament was held in El Paso at Thomas jefferson High School. It was great having state competition here because the local schools had the crowd on their side, said Urrutia who placed sixth in the state tournament. Considering the ineligibilities and all the inexperienced rookie wrestlers, I think we did outstanding, said Hernandez who beat Shawn Wilson of Plano, 6-2, to capture the 98 lb. state championship. Hernandez, who completed the season with a 27-0 record, credited Avalos for his success, Coach emphasized technique as well as strategy and physical conditioning. The four seniors with experience and the four unexperienced juniors and freshmen came through in the end, said Avalos.

Both teams advanced to regionals in Lubbock after a strong showing at district. We shot well at district but not up to our potential, said junior Mike Harville. The season began in mid-February and lasted until the first part of May. The boys team placed first in the Hanks Invitational with 342 and the Riverside Invitational at 317. Hard work and stiff competition between both the boys junior varsity team and varsity helped to push determination, said coach Mr. Mike Kennedy. The girls team won the Eastwood Invitational at 402, the Riverside Invitational at 348 and the district showdown at 387. The boys squad found themselves in the shadow of Hank's star golfer John Sosa. He was so intimidating, no one could really play well if they were paired with him,', said Harville. Even if someone beat him, the newspaper would still give him more publicityf' added Harville. If we could get it into our heads that we can beat Hanks, district would be a lot easier to win, said senior Bobby Richardson. As for the girls, coping with a great deal of inconsistency became their main problem. From one week to the next we didn't know what we were going to shootg it seemed we didn't need to try hard because of the lack of competition, said senior Michelle Rodarte. If we played as a team and not individually, we would 110 golf not have been so inconsistent, said senior Sylvia Mayorga. At the district tournament, on the Spanish Dagger side of Santa Teresa Country Club, the girls team surpassed the Hanks Knights to claim first by a mere four strokes. I wasn't surprised that we won, I knew we could pull it off if we put our minds to it, said Mayorga. The boy's varsity placed second behind Hanks in an eight stroke deficit. We did a good job but I think we should have X come closer, said junior Cliff Parsons. In individual standings Rodarte claimed the medalist title in the girls competition with a 90.

Gymnasts worked on perfecting their routines from 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. on weekdays. Practices were also held on several Saturdays and for one week during the Christmas holidays. I think the long rigorous practices really helped the team, especially the new members who hadn't had as much experience, said sophomore Debbie Christopher. The early morning hours made it difficult for the kids to get their homework done, but it got the kids going in the morning, and it was good for disciplinef' said coach Miss Angie Buckley. The team had some problems with injuries and eligibility. We had some really talented gymnasts injured early in 6,3 gi' Z A A Q- A . .

We also lost a few people due to the no pass-no play rule, continued Kessler. Regardless of the setbacks, the team felt optimistic. The team did very well this year, said Christopher. There were a lot of new faces and everyone had a lot of potential, added Christopher. We had a real good team this year, said junior Michelle Lorio. We had very strong optional and compulsory routines, she added. Meets consisted of two types of competition: compulsory and optional. Performed by all gymnasts, compulsory routines were identical routines which consisted of required skills. Optional routines were free style events in which the gymnast choreographed the entire routine. I liked optional routines best because I could have fun with them by using my own style and emphasizing my best skills, said Lorio. Female events consisted of the floor exercise, balance beam, uneven parallel bars, and the vault. My favorite event was the uneven bars, said Lorio. I enjoyed bars because it didn't require all the flexibility that floor and beam did, and it was a lot of fun to swing and move through the airf' she said. Male events included the floor exercise, horizontal bar, rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and the vault. I loved the high Qhorizontalj bar, said senior Steve Griffin. The high bar was always easy for me, and I loved the thrill of knowing the danger involved, he added. Gymnastics season lasted from january 31 to mid-March. In the first gymnastics meet on Saturday, January 31, the team placed second in competition with Bel Air and Odessa High.

Although track was an individual sport, runners worked together to accomplish their goals. The team inspired me to keep going and do my best, said senior runner Donyale Davis. Team members had the attitude of being able to accomplish anything, said junior high jumper Gilbert Grijalva. I tried to do my best and that's the most important thing because I wasn't out there for anyone else except for my team, said sophomore long distance runner Norma Padilla. Participants reaped the benefits of hard workouts by building their endurance to prepare for meets. Besides runningfor indurance and speed, weightlifting was also included in the afternoon workouts to increase upper body stength. The workouts were really hard, but I really did benefit from them, and I could see the improvement, said senior runner Rachel Armendariz. I worked hard during practices because I knew that it would pay off during meets, said junior runner Jeremy Doty. On some days I just didn't feel like running and those were the hardest workouts to get through, said sophomore runner jennifer Sarabina. Although the afternoon workouts were tiring, they were also a time for runners to clear their minds. Running was a way of escaping school and other things, said sophomore runner Dee Dee Vaughns. It was totally relaxing, she added. In order to compete in track and field participants had to keep the right state of mind. I had to care very little about what happened to my body, and I realized that winning was more important 114 track than any fears I had, said senior pole vaulter Phillip Reasoner. Before a race I had to keep a positive attitude and keep telling myself that I could win, senior runner jessica Brewster. Right before I competed I would go over what I was going to do in my mind and then give it my best, said shot-putter Chad Glover. Before a meet I told runners to set a goal and do their upmost to achieve it, said girls head coach Mrs. Barbara Burgess. With the-help of the coaches, runners and field 'competiters gained the knowledge skill and technique. The coaches helped me to get in the best physical shape and running form, said senior runner Kirk Means. They prepared me to excell in every aspect, he said. The coaches guided us and gave us final touches so we could run to the best of our ability, said senior hurdler Charles Thornton. Assistant coaches also gave the support needed to keep mental stability. Coach Barros knew first-hand what it was like to run, said Padilla. Winning a race made all the hard work worth while. To have won a race was the ultimate high, said senior 'runner Beth May. Winning a race was a feeling of accomplishment: all the hard work paid off, said senior shot-putter Kaj Berg. After the race was over I would relax and then start to prepare for the next race, said junior Zack Fuentes. Sometimes the toughest competition came from fellow track and field members. The hardest competition in town came from other pole vaulters at Eastwood, said Reasoner. The reason they were so tough was because we were all trying to beat each other and psych each other out every day of the week instead of restricting that only to meet days, he added. Track and field events were not only good for keeping in shape but also gave participants a positive attitude. Track helped me appreciate myself more and showed me that I could accomplish anything I set out to do, said Sarabina. Track taught me the value of hard work and how to concentrate on one thing and block out everything around me, said senior runner' Tony Provencio.

We all had our own special reasons for being there, but we 1 overlooked by Saenz. Coach told us when we did something wrong, but he also showed us the right way instead of just telling us, said Burrus.

VafSiF?i3C93Ch varsigygtoach R A, ,1 . olid Combination By Priscilla Estrada After two years of consideration, soccer became an official University Interscholastic League QUILQ sport. Both coaches and students alike were pleased. I'm glad because it also gave more kids the ability to get more involved in sports, said coach Ms. Cathy Dickason. Enthusiasm of both boys and girls grew and positions were immediately filled. I like soccer because I can devastate another player legallyf' said junior Matt Thomas Girl team members chose the positions with which they felt most comfortable. Practices consisted of physical conditioning, developing ball handling skilis, and performing game drills. It's a very aggressive, physical sport that demands a lot of strength and conditioning, said Dickason. Soccer is one of the most demanding sports because of the physical factors involved, said sophomore Missy Alston flfij. Boys coach Mr. Gary Grammer was surprised at the number of good players who tried out. One of our biggest strengths was our bench because there were so many good players, said Grammer. According to Grammer the first stage of the season was strictly for learning to play together. The last two weeks of season practices were related to specific parts of the team's game and also to conditoningf' said Grammer. Both long and short term goals for the season were set by coaches and players alike. We had the ability and talent to make area and state competition this 118 soccer year, said senior Vanessa Feliberti In a sport such as soccer, there were certain goals we set for ourselves to maintain fitness, said sophomore Patricia Thomas f27j. The support that the soccer teams did not receive dissappointed both the coaches and players. No one came out to support us so we reacted as a family and supported each other, said Feliberti. Many people do not understand the game of soccer, and I believe that is the reason for the lack of support, said Grammer. The lack of support actually made us stronger as teams,', said sophomore Ricky Siefkas Ql5j. Before a game, players had to get ready both physically and mentally. Before each game we tried to set specific individual and team goals we wished to accomplish, said Dickason. I prepared myself for a game by putting on my walkman and listening to fast tempo music, said senior Matt McDaniel Everyone had their own way of preparing for a game, he added. Both teams agreed that without teamwork they would not be successful. We keep each other on the right track by yelling instructions to each other, said senior Christine Granados Without communication on the field we would be totally lost, said senior Chris Sotelo. Without teamwork there is no way a team can win, he added. Emotions sometimes ran high. Sometimes we let our anger out, and it just got out of hand, said senior Robert Torres f2lj. During the match against Bel Air, high kicking, throwing elbows, and playing dirty were just a few of the outcomes between the rival teams. Tension was so high because the score was so close. Bel Air came back to take the lead in the second half with five minutes remaining on the clock. Eastwood turned the game around when Torres scored. The final tally was 2-2. We try so hard in a game that when it was so close, we just didn't want to lose, said sophomore Claudio Fernandez QIOQ. Close games were favored by the girls players. The close games were always the best, said Kasey McCarty QIOJ. The girls pulled off a 3-2 victory over Hanks. We got a lot of breaks from the officials, said senior Terry Valenzuela UQ. It was one of our worst and best games because we held them for so long, said Granados. lttf his Boys varsity soccer players are FRONT ROW: Robert Blanco, Kelsey Edwards, Ricky Villa, Willy Martinez, Hector Venegas, and Claudio Fernandez, SECOND ROW: Willie Payan, Robby Venezuela, Chris Chaparro, Matt Thomas, Mike Cataldi, Ricardo Franco, and Tom Pulleng BACK ROW: Matt McDaniels, Chris Sotelo, Eddie Nieto, Robert Torres, Miguel Rios, manager Mando Martinez, coach Mr. Gary Grammer.

Hands-on experience taught trainers tune ups, preventive maintenance and last minute repair jobs. No special experience was needed to become a trainer. We learned first aid and everything as we went along, said senior Marcella Frausto, head trainer. At the end of football season the male trainers had the opportunity of watching video cassettes and studying sports-related injuries in depth. It was the only class I took that I didn't just learn the information, I also got to experience it,' said junior Mike Gutierrez. Trainers learned preventive medicine by taping athletes before practice and games. Taping wasn't just wraping an injured limb in yards of bandages. Pressure had to be placed in the right places to offer support while still allowing circulation. Rolling and tearing the tape was important to prevent blistering. It was nerve-racking at first because Coach Hoemberg made it look so easy, but it wasn't at all, said Adrian Davila. Athletes developed a trust in the trainers. When I first started, the athletes didn't trust me, but then they started coming to me with questions, said Gutierrez. Trust in each trainer's capabilities was important for athletes to have. Some equipment like the ultrasound was potentially dangerous if not used correctly. lf a trainer didn't know what he was doing, someone could 120 trainers have gotten hurt, said Davila. One of the hardest lessons the trainers had to learn was to keep composure. No matter how serious the injury, the trainer couldn't react in a way that would scare the injured athlete. When Ruben Granado hurt his thumb in the Coronado game, we had to stay calm and think, said Gutierrez. We could talk about it when it was over, he added. Cleanliness was a necessity. Sometimes spending hours after games and practice, the trainers took extra care to see that everything was clean. In order to protect open sores from infection, the training room had to be kept as clean as an operating room. During football season trainers had to clean the whirlpool every day because it was used so often. Sometimes I thought they were expecting more from me than I could offer, said Gutierrez. Like the mechanics for winning racers, much of the trainers' hard work went unnoticed. Nobody knew how hard we worked, but they didn't go to the games to see the trainers, said Gutierrez.

S e r i o u Choices ade Spending nights studying was not what we had in mind in our quest for a good time. There were several possibilities in academics. We knew what we wanted in a class, and most importantly, what we didn't want. Choosing the right classes meant a lot to our eligibility for playing sports now or for our future careers. There was the social studies department, which let us have the chance to explore the phenomenom of the human psyche in psychology. Some of us choose to learn to be better managers of our home lives so we took Homemaking. We wanted healthy minds and bodies so we learned CPR and did stadiums in Health and PE. Some of us took the academic challenge. The extra year in trigonometry or in a science course had unknown possibilities, and we tried to measure up. I am going to be a writer, but I took physiology because the parts of the body always fascinated me, said Sabre editor Venessa De Anda. Some course offerings fed our hunger for those things we did best. Pens and papers brought out our imaginations in creative writing. We got into the abstract in art classes. We wanted to master a foreign language to make the lines of communication with other nations for smoother diplomacy. I want to be an interpretor, so I like the challenge of government class coupled with the three years of German I took, said senior Tanya Hernandez. ,ublications ..... ....... 1 44 cience ................. ....... l 46 ocial studies ............. ....... l 48 ommunication arts ....... ....... l 50 work studies ....,........ ....... l 52 lltbsibilities 123 .Eff 1 iff Artists Seek Flair Photography Adds New Medium By Blanca Neira Photography added a new approach to Miss Paula Tumer's Art I and II classes.

I had always liked art, but when I found out about photography, I liked it even more, said senior Chris Sotelo. Some others felt that it helped help them as amateur photographers in the future. I hope I will become a better photographer for my photo album, said senior Jonetta Hooper. Artists were taught to trace a photograph and submerge it in chemicals. We developed paper negatives and experimented drawing in black and white photos then removing the photographic image, said Turner. I liked the new approach to art that we got since it gave an alternative to imagination, said junior Kevin Kessler. Others sought accuracy and depth. I really felt that by at least experimenting 124 art with photography it would give me knowledge of the basics, said junior Anthony Bliss. We really tried learning and tried to be as accurate as possible, said sophomore Robert Bryant. Goals included entering a variety of contests such as Kermezaar on October ll and 12, the Youth Art Month Capitol Exhibit on October 31, Las Artistas on November 14, and the district portfolio contest in March. District competition was open to juniors and seniors. Winners of the senior division received a scholarship and their portfolios were displayed at the district cultural arts center. junior porfolio winner of 1986 Anna jaurrieta looked forward to competition in the senior category. Jaurrieta said, I want to further my education, and art can open the door for me. Although classes explored a variety of artistic media, still life was the category of the chile drawings which heightened interest in both the Art I and II. I thought it was neat drawing chiles instead of fruits, said junior Danny Segovia. I really liked the way Mr. David N.

Q... --....., By Terri Caylor Expanding student's knowledge of computers and typewriters, the business department prepared students for the computer age. Enrollment doubled in data processing, typing and advanced typing because computer literacy became a graduation requirement. I took advanced typing because everyone is going to need to know about computers in the future, and since Iim planning a career in medicine, I need to know what's going on with computers, said senior Lucy Morales. Typing provides the keyboarding and formatting skills to set up and balance B work, said typing teacher Mrs. Louise Deihl. In typing you need coordination and concentration because you have to know where the keys are, said senior Michelle Nabhan. In business law classes, students learned about different laws that pertain to business. Since I took data processing and business law, I wanted a career which dealt with these areas, said senior Shayna Williams. Data processing taught students the different parts of the computer and how to use them. I've learned how to translate our language into computer language, said junior Gaby Deras. By learning more languages I learned how to use more computers, Deras added. tudent transcriber Carmen Rubio practices to increase her speed and accuracy during Mrs. Sylvia Hesford's first period shorthand class. fPhoto by Lisa Murilloj roofreading the finished product, Stefan Hall completes a page of a manuscript in Mrs. Louise Deihl's fourth period advanced typing class.

Devouring Shakespeare, Dickens, and Poe students improved their vocabulary as well as their minds. I think that English teachers were preparing us for college and improving our compositions, said sophomore Diane Baca. Literature was food for thought. In English we improved our reading skills by better understanding what we read, said sophomore Tony Garcia. I like the way Stephen King writes because he uses a lot of suspense and mystery in all of his books, said senior Adrian Ramirez. Some teachers utilized small group communication methods for such curricula as book reports. Flowers hz the Attic was my favorite book because it was more challenging reading, and it was kind of off beat, said sophomore Norma Padilla. I learned 'collaborate learning' at a workshop I attended at UTEP, said English teacher, Mrs. Dee White, Collaborate learning means putting students into groups to apply something I had taught, she added. Other teachers sought to develop critical skills. I tried attending as many workshops as I possibly could throughout the year, said English teacher Ms. Karin Arechavaleta. Students gained insight from the 128 English methods and literature. Albert Camus is my favorite because he has good symbolism, and he expresses deep abstract ideas, said senior Dawn Edwards. More individualized instruction was also a new method of teaching used this year. If a student didn't understand an important concept, a few minutes of individual explanation before or after school helped considerably, said White, eated on the front lawn, Serena Manning, jennifer Esquivel, Ruben Contreras, Annette Warden, and Mylli McLain use a sensory approach to writing journal entries.

Athletes were on the forefront of the battle against drugs just as government workers were on the forefront of Reagan's campaign. The varsity gymnastics team was instructed not to smoke, drink or use any drugs, said gymnastics manager Robert Rojo. Gymnasts were warned that if they were caught, they would be kicked off the squad. It's not right for someone to nose around in someone else's private life, but in a way I feel it makes athletes put out more and at the same time makes them feel better about themselves, said Rojo. Regular PE classes were not tested nor were classes like flags, band and JROTC which also afforded students PE credit. Some students completely disagreed. 'just because people are doing drugs, it isn't any of the coaches business as long as they do a good job out there, said senior Ida Maese. Sex education in health classes was designed to prevent contracting disease. It makes students aware of the risks that are taken by teenagers, said junior Jason Simpson. I think it helps a little because it mostly shows how to be aware of people with sexually transmitted diseases as 6,5 Y J 4 s H s +51 x 5,3 a E J, ' 3 l E. 5 - 'V ' ff and how to prevent it, added Simpson. Although abstinence was stressed as the surest method of preventing unwanted pregnancy, students received instruction in how both males and females could use special birth control devices. If a person wants to have sex, they're going to do it no matter what anyone tells them, said senior Lori Chavarria. Students were also told where they can seek help if addicted to drugs or if they thought they were pregnant. No one is really safe from sex or drugs, but it can be prevented by just saying no, said Mr. Tom Garcia. health and physical education 131 6 a In tudents Seek Life Skill Experience Pays for Male! Female Homemakers By Mylli McLain Learning how to help oneself and learning how to help another was the theme for the homemaking classes. In order to gain child rearing experience child development classes adopted an egg for one week. Students were instructed to treat the egg as they would someday take care of their children. Taking care of a baby was a bigger responsibility than anyone realized, said Jennifer Stotts. Pretend parents started the experience enthusiastically by dressing their childern festively in diapers, bonnets, and other infant attire. I put a diaper, eyes, and hair on my baby, and I also made a little crib to keep her inf' Yvonne Munoz. At the end of the week, court cases were tried for child abuse, abandonment, and in some cases, cannibalism. I saw somebody's egg baby splattered all over the floor, said Anna jaurrieta. To gain further practical experience child development classes visited Glen Cove Elementary School, Ysleta District hild development teacher Mrs. Mary Tiemann lectures as she demonstrates the safe and proper way to bathe an infant. Dolls were substituted for the real things. fPhoto by judee Provencioj ood and Nutrition student jeremy Ramos cracks a joke while preparing his speciality, fruit pizza.

While there, students worked with children and observed classroom activities. Other department activities reflected heightening student awarness of other lifetime problem areas. Creating a healthier society through disease prevention was one goal. On September 27, homemaking students attended a Youth Against Cancer workshop at Hanks High School. There they watched educational films on cancer and participated in a question-and-answer forum afterward. As a follow-up activity students made pillows and carry-all pockets that could be attached to wheelchairs, bedsides, and walkers. Students then delivered the finished products to cancer victims in the El Paso area. -an c ,ff 'CJ I 4 it or , 'P 5 fl? yi l?t+.HF' , , v rw . A ,M ,Vik-mwf:,W.wvw.

Students sought practical courses like drafting and woodworking at Eastwood or part-time enrollment in the Ysleta Vocationl School. I decided to be in auto mechanics because I used to like to work on bikes when I was little,', said senior jason Adams. Vocational students had a choice of 38 different courses to take, including six for the handicapped. Courses ranged from cosmetology to the building trades and electronics. Four years of study reaped vocational students six credits toward graduation requirements. Placing students in jobs before aduation was also a function of the gr e vocational program.

Some students intended to start working full time while others wanted to work in order to pay for college. I plan to go to college, but I also needed to work part time so taking cosmetology classes helped me to be able to make more money than I would have otherwise, said senior Lisa Mendoza. Unlike those enrolled in vocational school, woodworking students took the class just for fun. I haven't planned any kind of career in woodworking, but the class did help me in my algebra and math classes by learning types of dimensions, said junior Todd Harper. Some students opted for Eastwood drafting classes to strengthen skills for academic goals. This class Cdraftingj taught me the basics of architectural and mechanical part design. I'm sure it gave me a head start on my future of being an engineer, said senior Mike Downie. According to Mr. Herman Apodaca, drafting is a graphic language used to express ideas as a means of communication that is often referred to as the language of industry. Most students were happy with their choices. I am really glad I got the chance to be in vocational school. It has not only helped me reach my future goals, it has also taught me a lot about cars while having a great time, said senior Andy Valenzuela. sleta Vocational School students Mike Archambault and jason Adams examine an ignition system during their morning automotive class. iPhoto by Rick Moralesj industrial arts 135 I1 UH. CS g g Linguistic bilities are Beneficial By Shelli Vasquez Bon jour! Hola! Guten Tag! Salvel Foreign language students learned to greet the citizens of the world. Latin helped people understand all languages, including English, said Latin teacher Mrs. Catherine McGarrity. Because it disciplined the mind and improved the memory, people who took Latin were simply superior, she added. Added to the curriculum for the foreign language departments was a non- native Spanish III class. Since the Spanish I and II classes have been divided into native and non-native classes for several years, it was decided to continue to concentrate on the different points of emphasis in the classes, said McGarrity. Since my grandmother speaks Spanish, she sometimes helps me with my homework, said freshman Gabby Martinez. The native classes emphasized reading and writing over understanding and speaking. The non-native classes emphasized oral proficiency and communication to a greater degree, McGarrity added. I decided to take Spanish because it's our QEI Pasoansj second language, and I wanted to be able to speak and write it,', said sophomore Judy Mitchem. In some jobs another language is required, she added. The French classes boosted their enrollment with a new approach. With the advent of the Natural Approach our class size increased and hopefully within the next two or three years we will need two full-time French teachers, said French teacher Mrs. Sharon Fabiano. For some people foreign languages were a requirement to gain college entrance, however, for others they were simply a change of pace. Any subject which promotes understanding among the earth's people is important and 136 languages necessary for nations striving for peace, said Fabiano. Spanish in El Paso is immeasurably useful, said McGarrity. One of my former students recently told me she got a job because she knew enough Spanish to pass the interview, she added. Sophomore Rachel Young said, I took French because it has always interested me, it sounded neat and I didn't want to take Spanish. I think learning a foreign language is important because of all of the different places to visit.

Recruiters from the Army and Marines were brought in as guest speakers to share their experiences in the service. Recruiters also explained the types of benefits that were offered. We learned about the challenges and the obstacles that we will face in the service, said junior Aida Maese. Leadership development was a main goal of JROTC. My first year I learned first aid and better discipline, said sophomore Deborah Mathews. Demerits were given to students who used profanity and showed disrespect. Eligibility was important for students to maintain in order to compete. Awards for acceptable grades and good assistance in class were given to outstanding students. 140 military science Attaining roles of leadership and responsibility were goals each cadet. I am considering the possibility of being accepted into West Point when I graduate, said junior Luis Loya. My major goals were to improve my leadership skills and to achieve the rank of colonel, added Loya. Cadets served the community as part of their training. El Paso Amigo Airsho security was no problem for the corps. Fifty cadets helped control crowds and served as attendants for the exhibits. We kept people out of restricted areas and gave information on the location of airplane displays, said sophomore Jeanne Holochwost. Color Guard members posted the colors at all school games, assemblies, and at the front of the school each day. I wanted to be on Color Guard and present the colors at the football games, said Deborah Mathewsg 'fl was excited to be commander of the Color Guard unit that led the Homecoming parade, said Jeanne Holochwost. Overcoming obstacles was part of cadet development. Exercises held at Fort Bliss strengthened goals. In February cadets were exposed to tear gas exercises, and in March conquering the obstacle course were two such functions. It is effective stuff. It burns the eyes and stung our lungs and noses, said senior Ben Leal. It fthe obstacle coursej was a lot of fun and taught us to protect ourselves in deadly situations, said sophomore Alfonso Velasquez. On November 22 the entire school benefited from a visit by the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment. Students viewed displays of armored vehicles. As part of the show, students were given rides.

Band members united to perfect new songs and marching routines. A new aspect was added to the band's performance when members sang Carmzria Burana in Latin. I really enjoyed singing in Latin because no one else fanother bandj was doing it and that was a major plus for our show, said junior Robert Almanzan. For the first time in eleven years the band used props in their performance. The crowd really enjoyed the new additions, said junior Aaron Crouch. I think this year's performance was the best and the most difficult one the band has done in a long time, added Crouch. Dedicated musicians rose early to practice. Practicing for band could take j , up quite a bit of time. During marching season, the band drilled for 45 minutes before school, after school and on several Saturdays, said junior Annette Silva. Cavaliers initiated 20 new singers. With the help of the new members, choir had a fuller, richer sound, said sophomore Rebecca Moore. Choir director Mrs. Karen Pilgrim said, I felt really good about this year's choir. The singers had a good, positive attitude and a terrific sound. Choir members were devoted to the task. Cavaliers inspired me to be myself and let my talent show. I really loved choir, said senior Michelle Shipley. Orchestra also had an overflow of new students.

Students worked with one another under sometimes very tense situations. All the tension and the mess created the publication mood. Sabre, Salute, and Revez'lle's first priority was to produce quality publications on time. Advisers pushed 41 144 publications students to do their best. I expect students to do their assignments on time and to get better with every assignment, said Salute adviser Mrs. Gail Love. Sabre adviser Mrs. Carol Shaw said, I feel our layout and page design is good, but in some areas we need more depth. We need generally better writing. Students had the opportunity to learn about journalism as a career through yearbook, newspaper, or the literary magazine. Being editor of Sabre took both time and responsibility, but it gave me journalistic experience, said senior Sabre editor Vanessa De Anda. Reveille which received the Texas state champion award in the Texas High School Press Association QTHSPAJ was headed by a new adviser, Mrs. Patty Clark. I expected a lot of work and an opportunity to work with creative students, said Clark. Students were just as excited about creating as Clark. Senior Jinx Montano said, Working with Mrs. Clark was a rewarding experience. Montano added, She was really enthusiastic about her first year as adviser, and the staff shared her enthusiasm. The Revezlle staff coordinated with feeder schools to produce Revezlittle. The mini-magazine featured poetry, artwork, and short stories by students from Scotsdale, Eastwood Knolls, Edgemere, Eastwood Heights, and Eastpoint. Through Re'uez'lz'ttle the staff gained experience in layouts, design, and typesettingfl said Clark. Hopefully it will also inspire writers to continue writing, she added. Sabre staffers worked to produce 12 issues of the newspaper. The goals for the newspaper staff are to try to produce timely and interesting papers that will entertain and inform the student body as well as do well in contest, said Shaw. The newspaper did well. It received four first place ratings from THSPA, the Interscholastic League Press Conference QILPCQ, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association QCSPAQ, and the National Press Association QNPAJ. Rookies learned the publication trade. The staffers and Mrs. Shaw helped me to learn more about journalism and how to put a publication together. said first year Sabre staffer Jonathan Terrazas. First year Salute staffer Dawn Priegel said, It was difficult at first because I wasn't used to meeting the deadlines, but with help from the other staffers, I became more self -confident. Yearbook staffers worked and sacrificed in order to meet goals. The staffs goals were to produce a yearbook that would please the student body as well as contest judges, said Love. Sometimes we compromised between having a winning book and pleasing the student body, she added. Staff members created new ideas with old subject matter. Writing about the same thing every year gets boring, but I make it exciting by asking questions that will get exciting answers, said assistant editor Alma Lozoya. It all depended on the interviewer's attitude toward the subject. added Lozoya. Meeting deadlines came first on the staffer's list of goals. Students enjoyed being a part of an organization. The people on staff cared about the book and the school, it wasn't just another class. said club section editor Renee Ramirez. 14' M ' ew Sabre staffers Jon Terrazas and Pete Bralich collaborate in typing their stories in order for the newspaper's first edition in September. fPhoto by 'Z Sylvia Pargaj 3 aste-up becomes an art as Salute managing editor Kati Peebles lays out the design of the Montwood Florist ad for the department section of the yearbook. fPhoto by Sylvia Pargaj ,,:e..,.sncouraging students to submit their creative work for publication in Reveille , Christine Oropeza, Jinx Montano, and Debbie Gonzalez visit various classes.

New equipment allowed a revamping of the department's labs. We received equipment that can display properties of electromagnetism on'an overhead projector, said Mr. David C. Edwards. Other supplies included textbooks for all science courses, and chapter review tapes and balances for physical science. The books are really neat because they have a lot of information in them, said senior Victor Moreno. The new books are better than the old books because they're more interesting, said sophomore Roger Huerta. Another change was the addition of . 5.4 four new science teachers. Mr. Michael B. Hicks replaced Mr. William Anderson, Mr. john Sharp replaced Mr. Daniel Grimes, and Mrs. Stephanie Gill filled Mr. Lloyd Huffman's position. Both Anderson and Huffman retired. To meet the population growth, Mr. David Esparza joined the staff. Mr, Sharp's class is a lot of fun, and I'm really learning a lot about biology, said junior Valerie Cisneros. New teachers afforded the possibility of new approaches. The new science teachers could possibly have new outlooks, ideas and methods on how to teach high school students, said physiology teacher Mr. Fulton Robinson. Gill said, I.think a positive change will come of the new four science teachers. Mrs. Gill is a 'radical' teacher, I didn't think I could learn so much, said junior Yvonne Pedregon. Reasons for choosing the science field varied. I have always been interested in life science and became more interested during college, said Robinson. As a physical education major, I was required to have many science courses which led to my second teaching field, science, said Mr. Sam Hughes. Others were drawn to atmosphere of the classroom. As for myself, I enjoy teaching so I went back to school to get my teaching certificate, said Gill. To me, seeing young people mature, become more responsible, and progress in knowledge is teaching's greatest reward, added Robinson. science 147 cial Studies Classes bserve Hi tory U.S. Constitution Marks Bicentennial Milestone By Dora Thrash Last Septembeq the social studies department began a year long celebration honoring the United States Constitutionls 200th birthday. According to Mrs. Gerry Vandervort, the year of the Constitution was not the only thing that was new. There are very few big changes this year fin the departmentj, but the ones there are, are different, said Vandervort. Activities held in conjunction with the Constitution's birthday included an essay contest for which the national winner would receive a 310,000 scholarship. Vandervort also added that the event was so special that Chief justice Warren Berger resigned in order to devote his time to the celebration. The Texas Sesquicentennial also spurred activities such as a hall decoration contest, a pictorial map contest, a dress-up day, and a mission t0ur. Local committee members began plans for a memorial bell tower to built near the University of Texas at El Paso campus. The towers will be placed in 148 social studies 1.909 mwmlb will Texas' major cities, and students will do the fundraising, said Vandervort. Five new teachers were added to the department. They included Ms. Michele Ponce and Mr. Albert Perez, both of . whom taught U.S. history. Mr. Wes Mottinger taught world geography and world history. Mr. Herb Turks and Mr. Dennis Stemsrud taught world geography. Stemsrud was excited about being at Eastwood. I'd rather teach here than anywhere else, Iim learning so much moref' said Stemsrud. The department also received an Apple II computer to be used in the two U.S. history honors classes. Computer literacy became a state mandate for 1987.

Speech and drama classes enabled students to speak freely in public and to communicate with others. At first I thought speech would be boring, but it taught me how to speak in public, said junior Lisa Esqueda. Since becoming a requirement for graduation in 1983, enrollment has tripled. Now there are three speech teachers,', said department chairperson Mrs. Lisbeth Garrett. Two other staff members were Mrs. Betty Casarez and Ms. Shawn Crane. Casarez taught introduction to speech and English, and Crain taught oral interpretation, Debate I, II, III, and public speaking. Approximately 75-80 percent of speech students were enrolled in introductory classes. The remainder of the students were enrolled in the competition classes such as oral interpretation and debate. I took debate because I feel I need it in order to pursue my career in law, said senior Lori Segura. The theater art classes came in strong first semester with the play You Can 't Take It With You, The comedy was performed at the Chamizal Theater on November 21-23. Written by Moss Hart and George Kaufman it was performed by the theater arts department to celebrate the 50th birthday of the play. Actors were impressed with the timeliness of the play's message. The message of the play is to live life the way one wants to and not worry about pleasing other people or otherwise a person can end up disappointed with 'Z mm' 2 : :e. .lFW'f' 'Wh-sf. f .f::..22E2if5i:2f..: w 'Q I life, said junior Michelle Hedderman. Eastwood had the largest theater arts department in West Texas with over 100 students enrolled in theater arts. Renamed by the state, theater arts not only included acting, but it also included technical theater and theater production as well. I think being a backstage technician is fun because it teaches me a new way of life, like a career to look forward to, said sophomore Adan Solis. During January theater arts held a winter showcase for other classes. Lecture room performances consisted of cuttings from the department's one act contest material, The Fantastics. speech and theater 151 1 rk Studies Part-time Student Earn By Clocking In After Being Released at Noon By Renee Ramirez Employed and leaming on the job, work! study students replaced school books with bank files, desks for tables to serve, and a school atmosphere for fabric and clothing stores. Programs offered job skills for various areas of employment. Taught by Mrs. Blanca Andrade, Vocational Office Education QVOEJ provided experience for future bookkeepers, secretaries, and tellers. Mrs. Andrade QVOEQ taught me to walk into a job interview with confidence about myself, said senior VOE student Bernice Chacon. Home Economics Cooperative Education QHECEQ, taught by Miss Phyllis Harbin, offered skills for those who were working in restaurants and child care facilities. HECE was a good program that enabled me to reach two of my goals at the same time- getting an education and starting on my future, said senior Kim Brown. Coordinated by Mr. Theo Wagner, Industrial Cooperative Training QITCD provided opportunities in mechanical and technical trades. While in high school I wanted to go to work so I could get money and learn to work with people, said senior ICT student Saul Monsisvais. Two changes occured in one of the programs. Distributive Education was renamed Marketing Education. Transfering from Parkland High School, Mrs. Gabriela Reyes replaced Mr. Maurice Bartram as director of the retail workers. Getting used to the size, the variety of students and the ins-and-outs of Eastwood has been interesting, said Reyes. I really like Eastwood, she said. The various work! study programs taught students lifetime skills. I learned about business through bank financing and marketing, said senior VOE student Estela Delgado. In order to receive three credits per year students had certain requirements. According to Reyes each one had to work a minimum of 15 hours a week at an approved training station. The second requirement was enrollment in a morning a work! study class. At noon students were finished with their regular schedules and were released from class to go to work. ,.. nstock Fabric employee Saul Monsisvais straightens bolts of cloth as part of his ITC job. fPhoto by Curtis Solisj Jams alias' cakas for all, occasaons .

Some of tus excelled in school while others sought to achieve goals outside the academic arena. We all sought to create our own personalized style through our hair styles and dress. Just knowing who was who became a major task, as important as learning room numbers, or in many cases, relearning them. In addition to the class of 1990 there were 23 new faculty members who enhanced the school's population and reputation of enthusiasts. Many faculty members enjoyed the latest renditions of the tailgate party, which were held in the faculty parking lot before the Friday night football games. Administrators set the standards for us to follow. In sync with the our need for understanding, administrators lightened our load through such actions as clarifying the attendance policy. We worked closely with faculty members. Mrs, Ornelas was genuinely concerned when we discussed my plans for college, said junior Mike Chacon. E. .... .

Many felt hampered by the state board of education ruling that created the Texas Teacher Appraisal System QTTASD. The system was an evaluation designed to tCSt the competency of teachers. Two administrative appraisers were assigned to each teacher. Each appraiser used the appraisal instrument twice a year during their regularly scheduled observations. The instrument was divided into five domains which were instructional strategies, classroom management and organization, presentation of subject matter, leaming environment, and professional growth and responsibilities. A list of 55 things that should be done during every 55 minute class period is not practical, said English teacher Mrs. Kay Valek. Appraisers also observed student Rbehavior. It's possible to have an r A . outstanding teacher and one student with an 'antsy' foot in the same class. If the guy puts his foot on the legs of the chair in front of him, the teacher gets points taken off if he! she doesn't catch it, said senior Laura Harmon. The entire class acted differently the minute the principal or assistant principal came in to observe the teacher, said Harmon. It was very tense, she added. Rigid structuring to meet state criteria had some negative effects. There are so many details we must be careful to cover, that we might miss certain points and be downgraded on the evaluation, said foreign language chairperson Mr. Daniel Cardenas. It tends to destroy the individualism of teachers and students, said Valek. The apparent unfairness of the evaluation system as related to the career ladder is the big complaint, said assistant principal Mr. Cliff Pickett. The career ladder required that outstanding teachers be identified and compensated accordingly. I'm not sure if this is the system we will all be comfortable with, said government teacher Mr. john Cazares. Another complaint dealt with extracurricular activities. The evaluation was extended only on the basis of classroom teaching. Newspaper adviser Mrs. Carol Shaw said, This is not fair since a good portion of our time is taken up by extracurricular activities that we're under contract to do. Teachers saw some positive value in the TTAS. Biology teacher Mr. Theo Wagner said, The appraisal system is a valuable instrument because it assists the teachers in making improvements in his! her instruction. No evaluation instrument in any organization is completely fair. Being a new instrument, modifications should be made to make its scoring more accurate, Pickett said. It made some teachers feel like Big Brother was watching, said Cardenas.

Writers By Kati Peebles and Christine Granados Battling illiteracy, Pulitzer Prize- winning cartoonist Mr. Mike Peters brought Grimm escapades to three El Paso audiences. Known for his syndicated comic strip Mother Goose and Grimm, Peters, appeared at the the Transmountain Campus of El Paso Community College, the Central YWCA, and the University of Texas at El Paso QUTEPQ. The August 28 and 29 presentations were part of the El Paso Herald Postk Year of the Printed Word campaign. Peters used humor as a key to understanding. I started out. I was born and raised,' he said. Peters continued explaining how he had been preoccupied with his cartoons when he was a youth. He said that he met his wife, Marion, at Bowling Green University. It was through her influence that he read all the classics that he had missed. The YWCA and community college messages emphasized reading and becoming a tutor so others could learn to read. 'S-5,4-Je Drawing as he spoke, Peters said, Grimm is a canine john Belushif' Peters explained how Grimm did real dog things like drinking out of the toilet bowl and fighting with cats. Peters paid a price for his realism. I was cancelled in one newspaper because Grimm had a cat tied and gagged in one of the strips. I got all sorts of hate mail for that onef' said Peters. When they cancel your strip, it's like cancelling your children, he added. Also renowned for his political caricatures, Peters sketched such famous personalities as Ronald Reagan, James Watt, jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, and his favorite, Richard Nixon. He later autographed some of his drawings for members of the audience. The UTEP lecture was designed specifically for journalists and cartoonists of the future. While Peters examined submitted works from the audience, he explained the steps necessary in producing a brochure to sell onels work. There is a lot of money to be made in magazines because nowadays there is a magazine for everything-tennis players, bicyclists, everything. So there is more of a chance of getting your work published. As a live costumed fuzzy version of Grimm waved to the audience, Peters encouraged everyone to stick with their efforts. The more you create, the more fun it is,', he said. ecurity guards are Mr. Robert Rigby, Mr. Norman Radar, and Mr Guillermo Maldonado. iPhoto by Rick Morales, Y F , i, 'N afeteria staff members are FRONT ROW: Mrs. Martha Medina, Mrs. Esparanza Molina, and Mrs. Maria Moore: MIDDLE ROW: Mrs. Olivia Grijalva, Mrs. Isabel De los Santos, Mrs. Irma Loera, and Mrs. Esperanza, Juarez, BACK ROW: Mrs. Elena Luna, Mrs. Gloria Schalow, Mrs. Lydia Martinez, and Mrs. Liz Molina. fPhoto by Rick Moralesj faculty and staff 159 P.. .

Some teachers took the iniative and sought training that could be shared. Mrs. Patricia Clark received a training certificate from the West Texas Writing Project QWTWPQ. WTWP changed my teaching career and was the most fascinating learning experience, said Clark. Now, my students can't say that I can't relate to the assignments I give them because I've already done them myself, laughed Clark. Touching the science of the future, Mrs. Linda Misenhimer gained valuable hands-on experience and knowledge of space studies and expeditions. Misenhimer attended the NASA Educational Workshop for Math and Science Teachers QNEWMASTQ in early August at the johnson Space Center in Houston. She tried to familiarize herself with the research and development of the facilities and future technology. I have always been fascinated with NASA and space, literally having grown up with it, Misenhimer said. The labs that we visited and the facilities we were allowed to handle were rare opportunities, she added. Dealing with advancing the present, Mrs. Dee White graded Advanced Placement English Essay exams for the College Board. Eastwood teacher of the year, White also taught a three-week course in English at UTEP with Dr. Robert Esch. The course helps other teachers in the community when they begin to teach an AP coursef' White explained. Grading those exams encouraged me to challenge my students and to improve their writing skills, White added. Classifying learning styles helped foreign language teacher Mrs. Catherine McGarrity identify honor students. A weekend workshop held at Desert View Middle School was designed for teachers like McGarrity who taught gifted and talented students. Part of the workshop dealt with learning to use Bloom's Taxonomy. It was the hierarchy of learning and ranged from memorization to evaluation, said McGarrity. It was just fascinating how the whole thing worked, she added. English teacher Mrs. Kay Valek as well as in the Texas joint Council of Teachers of English held in Houston in 1985, and Fort Worth in 1986 as a presenter. I enjoy attending English workshops because I always get new ideas to use in the classroom, said Valek. She added, I enjoy the exchange with other professionals. We are very fortunate that we have teachers of teachers at Eastwood, said Peralta. They are teachers who have provided inservice to other teachers, not only at the district level, but at the state and national level, he said. All teachers need opportunities to pursue their own intellectual interests and to revitalize their teaching, said Peralta. 160 faculty and staff Q Ms. Deby Lewis tennis Mr. William Littlejohn cross country, P.E.

This and many other teacher-involved activities were begun to boost student spirit and show pride for the athletic department. Tailgate parties every Friday night in the teacher's parking lot brought out the football fever in faculty members. We brought food and ate. We visited and then went to the games together, said Mrs. Kay Valek. Bowling team members showed other schools that Eastwood's faculty and staff weren't only co-workers, but friends as well. Bowling on the teachers league is just a bunch of teachers getting together to have fun, said assistant principal Mr. Cliff Pickett. Mrs. Dee White wrote a skit called The Eastwood Shuffle, which was presented during the first faculty meeting on August 25. The poetic reading boosted morale by showing a lighter side of the requirements of HB 246, HB 72, the TTAS, and the TECAT. Performers included Mrs. Gail Love, Mrs. Carol Shaw, Mrs. Terry Mullen, Ms. Deby Lewis, as well as White. A big surprise to students was the fact that almost all of the teachers wore a football or volleyball jersey on days of games. When I wore a football jersey, it showed that I have . 3 - A X if x f, pride in my team, said Lilia Monsisvais. Student players gave jerseys to their favorites to display both pride in school and the Troop. The 'buddy system' directed by Mrs. Harriett Dorgan was created to help new teachers 'buddy up' with experienced teachers to show them the ropes and activities not listed in the teacher's handbook. The buddy system is like a big and little sisters club for teachers and seems to be very effective, said Valek. For Halloween the teachers sponsered a booth at the Halloween Carnival. Art teacher Mr. David Edwards painted caricatures on plywood. Holes were cut out for people to pose behind. Carnival revelers paid 31.50 to have their pictures taken. All profits were deposited in the faculty Reach for the Stars scholarship fund.

Twentyaone Eastwood students were eligible for the National Scholar Awards Program based on their scores from the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test!National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test QPSATXNMSQTJ. In order to qualify each took the exam in October of their junior year. Scoring well made them eligible to compete for national college scholarships. It was an honor because the National Merit Qboardj placed me with the smartest people in school, said Cristina Loya. However, receiving scholarships was based on more than just the test quotients. Other contributing factors were grade point averages, high school records, the 1986 Scholastic Aptitude Test QSATJ test score, and letters from teachers. There were 12 students named semifinalists in the Hispanic National Merit category. Hispanic National Merit semifinalists were Karl Aigner, Scores Bring Andrew Aranda, Vanessa Feliberti, Lety Gonzalez, Ernesto Guzman, Loya, Luis Martinez, jinx Montano, Alejandro Ortiz, Michael Paganini, Ronald Pruitt, and Andrea Torres. Even though I may not make it as a finalist, I'm very honored to have made it as a semifinalistf' said Martinez. The achievement was a surprise to some of the semifinalists. I didn't expect to score that high because I don't consider myself a brain. I just do the best I can, considering all the various activities I'm involved in, said Montano. I expected to score high, but didn't think I would make it for Hispanic National Merit semifinalistf' said Aigner. Nine students were commended to colleges for their high scores on the PSATXNMSQT. Charles Thornton was the only commended student for the National Achievement Scholarship Program for Outstanding Negro Students. It really felt good to know that all of the hard work I put into my studies finally paid off, said Thornton. Commended students for the National Achievement Scholarship ecognition Program were: Michael Aguilar, Thomas Aung, jack Cabaness, Mike Davis, Michael Gross, Michael Mactutis, Lily Pleitez, and Philip Welker. It was a nice honor to be recognized even though I didn't make finalist or semifinalist, said Welker. I think National Merit builds up confidence. Any type of reward builds up a person's confidence. It's like fighting, any time a boxer defeats an opponent, it gives him confidence to fight again, said Montano. ational Merit Hispanic semifinalists are FRONT ROW: Micheal Paganini, Andrew Aranda, Ron Pruitt, Karl Aigner, Luis Martinez, and Jinx Montano, BACK ROW: Vanessa Feliberti, Cristina Loya, Andrea Torres, and Lety Gonzales. iPhoto by Lisa Murilloj 166 seniors L4 Jennifer Barry: marching band, symphonic band, All-district band: Karla Baucum: marching band, symphonic band, regional band, Madrigals: James Beck: Laura Benavides: marching band, varsity volleyball, junior varsity basketball, soccer manager: Ronna Bennefield: marching band, symphonic band, Revezlle: Kaj Berg: Cristina Bernal: Steve Blanco: Richard Boles: Patricia Borrego: Kylene Boswell: Saltatrix: Jessica Brewster: Law Enforcement club, varsity volleyball, varsity basketball, varstiy track: Denise Brown: NHS, freshman volleyball, junior varsity volleyball, varsity volleyball, varsity basketball: Kim Brown: freshman tennis: Monica Bryant: Sabre, Reveille, Anehta Sesea, FBLA, French club: Xochitl Budde: Anehta Sesea historian, pom pons, Trooperettes, Saltatrix: Amber Burkman: flags, Detinu president, Salute: Timothy Burns: Latin Club president, NFL secretary, NHS, cross country, track, Optimist Award 1984: Cynthia Burrus: Anehta Sesea, Law Enforcement club, freshman cheerleader, junior varsity cheerleader, Trooperettes: Krystyna Butkiewicz: All-district speech, Detinu, NFL: William Cabaness: All-district band, All-state speech, NHS president, NFL treasurer, Anehta Sesea: Laura Caesar: Marcie Calahan: Kristin Calderwood: Saltatrix, Latin Club treasurer, NHS, NFL: Andrea Cale: assistant editor Sabre, Salute, French club, NHS: Annastacia Calhoun: All- state choir, freshman gymnastics, sophomore class treasurer: Lorena Camardelli: freshman gymnastics, junior varsity gymnastics, Trooperettes: Veronica Camardelli: freshman gymnastics, Trooperettes, orchestra: Armando Carranza: NFL parliamentarian, Hi-Q: Michael Carrasco: Blue jackets, varsity tennis manager: Darryl Cartwright: VICA: Frank Castillo: All- district baseball, freshman football, junior varsity baseball, varstiy baseball: Lupita Castillo: YFC, junior varsity track, varsity track: Michael Cataldi: Octagon, Law Enforcement club, varsity baseball, varsity soccer: Bernice Chacon: Eunice Chang: Trooper band, Trooperettes: Matt Charske: ELA, junior varsity football, varsity football, varsity baseball: Christina Chavarria: French club, Anehta Sesea, Sabre, Salute co-editor, SNHS: Lorraine Chavarria: Detinu secretary, NFL, junior varsity swimming: Carlos Chavez: marching band, symphonic band, Sigma Chi president: Myra Chavez: marching band, concert band, Sigma Chi, FHA: Lance Chmura: JROTC batallion commander, brigrade executive officer, drill team commander, Superior Cadet Award: Jim Cicchetti: varsity wrestling: Dawn Clark: Crystal Collins: marching band, Trooper band, concert band: Eduardo Contreras: orchestra, OEA, freshman tennis: Becky Cordo: marching band, symphonic band, Anehta Sesea parliamentarian, band quartermaster, NHS: Terrie Cordova: seniors 167 Barbara Cowden: Cavaliers, junior varsity volleyball, freshman basketball, junior class treasurer, Law Enforcement Club photographerg johnny Cruz: vocational refrigeration and air conditioning: Claudia Curielg Donyale Davis: varsity track, ,gf f Z.. .A .

Understanding Fostered through Foreign Exchange Programs By Alma Lozoya Introduced to America with the celebration of the 100th birthday of the Statue of Liberty, exchange students Janne Wildenrath fDenmarkj, Harri Markkanen QFinlandQ, and Martin Wolpers fWest Germanyj left their homelands to experience the way of life in a country formed from many cultures. Markkanen and Wolpers were representative of the Youth for Understanding program, and Wildenrath came on the American Intercultural Student Exchange QAISEJ program. Each student developed an individual understanding of what America was really like. I came to the United States because I wanted to see how people live and what their standards of living are, said Wolpers. I wanted to see if it is so different from Europe, said Markkanen. Many factors took part in their decisions. A lot of friends of mine were foreign exchange students and encouraged me to go to the United States, said Wildenrath. Education and the rules which accompanied it resembled those of many schools, with few exceptions. In West Germany, the grading system is harder, it goes from one to six, with ta grade ofj one being the best and fa grade ofj six being the worstf' said Wolpers. Included were the graduation requirements and preparations. Our twelfth grade finishes in February, said Markkanen. After that we have three months to prepare for graduation tests, he added. W The differences extended to customs and climate. El Paso is hot and has a lot of possibilities, but there is no windsurfing, said Wildenrath. In Finland, we don't have a curfew. We have dinner much earlier and we eat different foodsf' said Markkanen. Host families played an important part in helping understand what America is really like. Mr. and Mrs. john Estes hosted Wolpers. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Smith hosted Wildenrath, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hollshwandner hosted Markkanen. Although it was the Smith's first sponsership, it was the third experience for the Estes family. However, the Hollshwandners have been the most active sponsers. They have had eight full time students in the last 10 years. Although the ways of life proved to be different, human nature and dealing with teenagers remained the same. Being different isn't wrong or right, it's just differentf' said Mrs. Carol Hollshwandner. You have to be willing to have patience and understanding, she added. oreign exchange students for 1986-87 and their host families are FRONT ROW: Harri Markkanen fFinlandJ, Janne Wildenrath QDenmarkj, and Martin Wolpers fWest Germanylg BACK ROW: Mr. Richard Hollshwandner, Anne Hollshwandner, Mrs. Carol Hollshwandner fMarkkanen's hostsj, Mr. Michael Smith, Mrs. Dana Smith, Andrea Cale QWildenrath's hostsj, and Mrs. Flo Estes fWolpers' hostj.

H,- 4 5 Y., U if -5,5 L Triathletes Increase Endurance By Ernesto Silva and Kati Peebles Followers of a popular trend for personal athletic competition, Eastwood seniors Paul Rivera and Thomas Hoops pitted their physical prowess against the clock to compete in the Bud Light U.S. Triathlon in Del Mar, California. I started reading in 'Ultrasport' and other books about the triathalon, and I asked myself 'why not?' said Rivera. He started training in January of 1986 for the actual race, but has been running since he was eleven years old. Hoops also started training in January of '86, Hoops and Rivera were also members of the Eastwood cross country and track teams. Hoops wanted to do the triathalon because it's something different and it's a new sport. Actually it's three of my favorite sportsf' Hoops said. Another neat thing is that I didn't have to pass to competef' he added. Training for unfamiliar events presented problems. The first time the duo seriously trained for swimming, they were overwhelmed. I learned that being a runner didn't make me a swimmerfi said Rivera. Returning to the Shirley Leavell YWCA pool time after time helped them complete the 1.5 km. swim in the Pacific Ocean without was the any breathers. Swimming hardest for me, said Rivera. Running was the toughest for me, said Hoops. Rivera's and Hoops' workout varied with how they were feeling. They swam two to three times a week. The pair biked every other day for about 30 miles. The first 15 miles was done at a long, slow pace and the last 15 miles were peddled at a fast, hard pace. Both seniors ran every day in cross country or track team practice, or they ran on their own schedules. I don't follow any workout pattern so basically my schedule reflects the way I feel, said Rivera. The type of workout that I do is great because my lungs now have areobic capacity and my cardiovascular system is very healthy, he said. I can say lim in excellent shape. When race day came on September 14, Rivera placed 1,099 overall. For his division Q19 and underj, he placed 46 out of 180. In the 1.5 km. swim his time was 38 minutes, 33 seconds. The first transition from swimming gear to cycling attire took 4 minutes and 7 seconds. In the 40 km. bike race Rivera's time was 1 hour 19 minutes and 24 seconds. His second transition took 2 minutes and 45 seconds. In his last event, the 10 km run, his time was 48 minutes and 1 second. His total time was 2 hours 52 minutes and 49 seconds. In overall standings Hoops placed 1,089. He placed forty-fifth in the 19 and under division. His swim time was 30 minutes and 43 seconds. The first transition was 4 minutes and 57 seconds. Hoops' time in the bike race was 1 hour 20 minutes, and 12 seconds. His last transiton took 2 minutes and 10 seconds. In the 10 km. run Hoops's time was clocked at 54 minutes and 8 seconds. His total time was 2 hours 51 minutes and 30 seconds. Above all, the training for the triathalon led to a cleaner lifestyle. I'd like to be able to tell younger kids that doing things like this is possible, said Hoops. Maybe then they wouldn't develop bad habits that keep them from becoming physically and emotionally fit, he added. ff'-ffl .- s'-twin ' ' ' 1 U ig , .

Ortega, though he was injured early in the season, set the standards and the pace for the Troop's championship football season. Ortega suffered torn ligaments in his right knee during the game against Coronado. At the time of his injury he was leading the city in passing with 311 yards and five touchdowns in only two games. I've been playing since I was about eight years old, said Ortega. My dad really encouraged me to play, Ortega added. Aptitude and winning spirit earned Ortega respect. I think David was one of the best quarterbacks to ever come out of Eastwood, said head coach Todd Ware. David would have been All- district and All-city and all- everything if he had been able to continue to play, Ware added. Teamwork was what Ortega saw as E I l cl 1 Determined Senior Athlete! eft: Quarterback David Ortega watches the varsity team defeat Bel Air in the annual rivalry match which was held in the Sun Bowl.

He fWarej taught us how to keep cool and not lose our heads during a game, said Ortega. He taught us a lot about discipline, added Ortega. Despite his injury, Ortega planned to try out for the varsity baseball team in the spring. He should be able to play baseball when the season comes around, said Ware. I'm going to try really hard to make the team, said Ortega. Ortega's long term plans focused on college. He said that he hopes to attend Texas Tech University where he wants to pursue a career in business. Ortega also said that he wanted to continue to play football at Tech. Although Ortega spent the rest of the season on the sidelines, he encouraged his teammates as they fought their way to the top. His reputation as an athlete was lauded. I'd just say he's a winner because that's what he is, said offensive coach Mr. Wade Ardoin.

Seven students enrolled college courses ranging from calculus to design during the summer of their junior year. The seven students were Tom Aung, Karl Aigner, Vanessa Feliberti, jack Cabaness, Oscar Gameros, Eddie Givens, and Andrea Torres. Torres, Aigner, Gameros, and Givens attended programs at the University of Texas in Austin. Aung and Cabaness both attended Harvard, and Feliberti chose the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as her summer choice. College preparation was the main reason for the majority of applicants. I had a first-hand experience of what college is like, said Feliberti. I learned the basic elements of first year college chemistry, said Aung. By going to school for two months in the summer, I could know how to prepare for going to college for four years, he added. Other students found college more of a social atmosphere. I studied a lot, but I also did some fun things too,', said Cabaness. One time we stole a big 'for sale' sign from a nursery and wrapped it around the statue john Harvard in the middle of Harvard yard, added Cabaness. I met many friends from all regions of the country, said Aung Senior Andrea Torres went to UT Austin to learn about the school. I wanted to find out if I really wanted to go to UT Austin, said Torres. UT has been my choice since I visited Austin the first tiem in l982, said Aigner. This program just confirmed my decision, he added. After experiencing college life, many students attitudes toward high school changed. Now I know how unprepared I am for college, said Feliberti. I really hate busy work now because in college it was never given,'l said Cabaness. Students applied for admission to the summer programs. Upon acceptance they were expected to arrange for their own transportation and for the payment of tuition.

Before the missing letters vanished it read, We Are Proud to be El Paso's Finest. Vandals, aging, and usage have taken their toll on the physical condition of the school. According to principal Mr. A.C. Peralta there have been numerous complaints. Complaints related to acts of vandals included chipped and cracked paint in the first hall bathrooms and the lack of doors on bathroom stalls. Other complaints included having mice in the band room and leaks in the ceilings of the old gym, and eighth and main halls. Also a crack developed in the foundation of second hall. However, the majority of complaints were about poor heating and cooling units. The leading cause of the damage was vandalism. I could write a soap opera using the dialogue written on the bathroom walls, said Salute co- editor Christina Chavarria. The stadium was often the recipient of graffiti messages. I remember when vandals changed the E on the back of the stadium to a B, said sophomore Lisa Chavarria. Somebody wrote 'Ysleta' on the side of the new said Salute co- editor Christine Granados. During the 1985-86 school year, provisions were made to start a major campus beautification project. The roof on the old gym was repaired. Fifth and sixth halls were retiled. All the classrooms were renumbered in a logical sequence unlike the random choices of the past. The stadium was repainted. Classrooms were painted. Storage closets were built in the Virginia Porras: Y Club president, FCA, STUCO, junior varsity cheerleader, varsity cheerleader: Claudia Potter: Blue jackets president, Blue jackets STUCO representative: A41 176 seniors language department office.

The project was continued in 1985-86 with the repainting of the trash cans and the repainting of parking lines in the student parking lot. Clubs got into the act by volunteering their services. Sigrna Chi and Detinu cleaned up the stadium after football games. It was a hard job but the stadium needed it, and we were proud to help out when needed, said Sigma Chi member Stefanie Ewing. Other beautification projects included STUCO purchasing ash trays for the foyer and scheduling club to clean up of the outside campus grounds. According to Peralta future plans center around the construction or remodeling of the library facilities. - - . . ...-- . ..-. an -N...

However, these were some characteristics of new cheerleaders Shawn Douthit, Harry Stone, and David Trejo. The three seniors braved the tryouts on February 22, 1986. The tryouts were the same for both genders, the only alteration was the exception of the males not having to do splits and females not being required to perform back handsprings. There was a lot of pressure on us since we were the first males to tryout for the cheerleading squad in over twenty years, said Douthit. In 1963 when Eastwood was in its first years, sophomore Dick Nothe was the only male on the varsity cheerleading squad. Stone was a major influence on the trio's decision to try out. I wanted to be a cheerleader since sixth grade, but the squad in junior high didn't have males so I waited until high school to try out, said Stone. I had a background in gymnastics, said Trejo. I always wanted to be down on the field with the cheerleaders, and Harry persuaded me to give it a try, said Trejo. Since I had gotten tired of football, Harry influenced me to tryout, said Douthit. After attending a National at Fresno State University during the summer, the squad was chosen to go on to the NCA National championships in Orlando, Florida. The competition was scheduled for December 26 when the squad joined other Texas teams to vie for the crown. Because of the number of members, the squad competed in the large varsity squad competition, the special co-ed squad. Trejo and senior Jennie Tipton also met the challenge of the individual ale members of the cheerleading squad are Harry Stone, Shawn Douthit and David Trejo. fPhot0 by Julie Rahnj New Look competition. At the NCA summer camp, Trejo was awarded the title of All American. Tipton was nominated for the award. Qualifications were demonstrating outstanding spirit, gymnastic ability, and ability to get along with the other members of the squad. I didn't expect to receive the All American title, I was very surprised. I expected Jennie to get it because she has had more experience in cheerleading and is very spirited, said Trejo. The All-American title holders from all over the country were invited to perform at the Aloha Bowl on December 26. Trejo declined the opportunity so he could participate at the National Championships with the Eastwood squad. Although the trio experienced ridicule about being cheerleaders at the beginning of the year, the attitude of the student body changed as the year progressed. At first there were some remarks about us, but now more students seem to respect us after they saw the hard work we did, said Douthit. With Shawn, Harry, and David on the squad this year we were able to see different views, said junior Crissy Escamilla. They brought in new ideas and helped us with crowd participation, said Escamilla. Cheerleading Association QNCAJ camp ' A 3 A .1 l , w I er 3? 1 9 , ,!

It seems as though all of them were driving. The parking lot looked to me as though it were filled completely. Terri O'Donnol said that driving was a way to express freedom and independence. The scooters juniors had were so cool and carefree! I always noticed juniors zipping in and out of traffic on scooters. And then David Wahler placed 17th in a national bike race in Milwaukee. Isn't that fantastic?P!!. jennifer Stotts got to get away and took a tour of Sam Houston State University. Cool, huh? Juniors finally had upperclass freedom. Ah, the joys of a paycheck! Paychecks meant money, and money meant lots of different things such as clothes, cars and places to go. I noticed a lot of juniors working all over the place. Vince Caballero told me that he didn't have to ask his parents for money anymore so he was free to do whatever he wanted with the money he earned. Lucky Vince! Yes, juniors were still dancing. It seems as though dancing was still the perfect way of relaxing and socializing. Anthony Bliss told me he didn't meet anyone staying home, but he met all different types of people when he went out. Some took their dancing more seriously, like the Alexander sisters in Viva El Paso. Kristene Renteria was wonderful in The Nutcracker Suite! I understood what she meant when she told me that being on stage gave her a feeling of elation, letting her express herself in a way she couldn't in everyday life. I know she'll go far. Well, come june, juniors will be seniors. I hope they have as much fun as I had as a senior. Have a wonderful summer!

Every girl in the room fixed their eyes on the office courtesy as he received permission to deliver the coveted bouquet to the captain of the football team. FTD rejoice! Sending flowers to both male and female friends was an in thing to do for 1987. It's fine for a girl to send flowers to a guy if she really likes him, said sophomore Charlie Guerra. Reasons for sending flowers varied as much as the types of flowers themselves. Students wished each other good luck or congratulations along with the usual birthday and holiday sentiments. Flowers said thanks, I'm sorry and I'm admiring you from afar. Freshman Melanie Malone said, I give flowers for performances, Mother's Day, when people are in the hospital, Valentine's Day or when someone is really sad. Running close behind Valentines Day for popularity, Homecoming proved to be a floral extravaganza. Male and female students and teachers were bedecked with as much as 20 pounds of corsages, garters, and boutonnaires. Cost ranged from 316.50 to 15185.00 depending on the number of flowers and the 5 ....

Popular decorations for the September event were horseshoes, hearts, footballs, football helmets, pennants, megaphones, feathers, gold braid, and lots of lace. Many students received more than one corsage. Pom pon dancer Rana Rittgers received four corsages. The largest was a seven mum arrangement from her boyfriend, Mike LeBlanc. Two others came from her Y Club little sister Erin Douglass, and her best friend Kara Douglass. I felt really special, said Rittgers. It was special to receive flowers but students found-it more gratifying to give. Freshman Ryan Turner said, I like to get flowers because I know someone is thinking about me, but it makes me feel good to give them because I know it is making someone happy. Guerra said, It makes me feel good because I now I made that person feel good. Tributes such as boxes of candy and bouquets of balloons were not as popular. Sophomore Gaby Urquiza would rather send flowers, because there's something about them that no other gift has. I would rather give flowers because they are more sentimental than balloons. I'd rather get a dozen roses than a box of candy because chocolate is fattening, said Malone. In the eighties it was no big deal for the girl to give a guy flowers. If a girl likes a guy or wants to give flowers as a present, it's just fine, said Turner.

I noticed everyone was wearing the same kind, but I wanted to be different so I got a pair of silver boots while I was at Las Vegas,', said senior Elizabeth Tidwell. Some even went as far as Los Angeles, California to see the styles that were in. When I first saw them in California, I really liked them, said junior Rossanna Rodriguez.

Another fad was wearing booties fhigh top shoesj, which was a real controversy between parents and some students. When I first bought them, my mom gave me a look like you are really going to buy those things, said junior Lorraine Ellis. Others choose booties for reasons of comfort. At first I really did not like them because they did not look very feminine, but then I felt how comfortable they were and I did not care how they looked, said junior Claudia Martinez. Among the regulars like Reeboks, a hold over from 1985, were the ever popular penny loafers. I've liked them for a real long time, but I thought they were out of style, said senior Ann Marie Padilla. When I saw a lot of people wearing them, I figured they were still in, added Padilla. Flats also returned to the fashion colors, flats were a popular choice of comfortable footwear.

Last December, Kristene Renteria Holly Morris, and Melanie Malone dazzled audiences with their performances in The Nutcracker Suite. The ballet was performed at the El Paso Civic Center during December 19-21. Renteria, Morris, and Malone, who were apprentices with Ballet of the Americas, worked long and hard to prepare for the production. Rehearsals took place Monday through Friday and were four to five hours long. A ballet class every day for the dancer is like breakfast in the morning for normal people, said the girls' dance instructor Miss Ingeborg Heuser. Ballet demanded a lot of dedication and sacrifice from the young dancers. Renteria and Morris trained in ballet for over nine years. Social life often suffered in order to make time for practice. I missed out on a lot of fun with my friends because I had to go to rehearsals, said Malone. However, the girls continued to dance because of the feeling it gave them. After a performance, I got a feeling I couldn't explain. It was a feeling that let me know that all my hard work and dedication had paid off, said Morris. Dancing gave me a feeling of satisfaction, an elated feeling, said Renteria. Family and friends were always nearby to give moral support. Kristene's dancing required many sacrifices, but we stood behind her 100 percent because she loved it so much, said Kristene's mother, Mrs. Maria Renteria. She showed so much talent and potential in her dancing that it was really moving to watch her dance, and we were really proud of her, said Renteria's friend, Vanessa Artle. allerinas Melanie Malone, Holly Morris, and Kristene Renteria attend a lesson at the University of Texas at El Paso. iPhoto by Rick Moralesj .

L f ff 'f SQ -ll Tard Policy Gets Locked ut By Christine Granados I don't feel tardy! said David Lee Roth in his song Hot for Teacher. The new lockout tardy policy had some students re-evaluating their untimely habits. On September 4, in the auditorium during junior and senior class meetings, assistant principal Mr. Cliff Pickett announced the idea of a tardy prevention program. His audience responded with mumbled boos and a lot of hushed whispering. Pickett said, Teachers will be instructed during any period of the day to close and lock their doors as the tardy bell rings. Everyone found outside will have detention after school. I heard rumors about a lockout one day during sixth hour, but they were strickly rumors, said senior Michelle Shipley. These rumors circulated through the school and created chaos after the tardy bell. A lockout really never occured. After the tardy bell rang, I saw people running down the halls and yelling, 'It's a lockout.' Teachers were outside trying to figure out if there really was a lockout, said senior Ruben Hernandez. Principal Mr. A.C. Peralta contradicted Pickett's statement by saying, There are no plans for a tardy prevention program unless excessive tardies make it necessary. Mrs. Mary T. Marshall said, I love it! If students can't get to class on time, why should they disrupt anyone else? Students had a different point of view. Senior Jack Cabaness said, I think it's an elementary school tactic and an insult to high school students. I feel the punishment for this offense is too strict, said senior Chris Anderson. The proposed policy's success depended on the acceptance of the faculty. The number of tardies seems to depend on the students and the teachers. Some teachers enforce the tardy policy, and some don't, said language department chairperson Dr. Daniel Cardenas. If we're going to have a tardy policy that we are going to enforce by locking late students out of the room, we'll find out where students are coming from and then we can get the teachers, said English teacher Mr. George Moeck. I dream of all the education that I miss, but then education was never quite like this, sang Roth. The satirical student view of school life may reflect the feelings of today's students, but students being late to class seems to be an eternal problem. sw '--- was gg ,,-,ue - .,.. ..,, Ilf Q ardy students iiuiii Putnicki, -Dora Thrash, Tammy Crowe, and Dina Crawford do not fret over the alleged lockout. fPhotos by Rick Morales and judee Provencioj m ur- E ' X ,- .Y J. .. .. ,, ,- gf rl' U i . idk Steve Rasco Amy Ray'mond .M Gabriela Raynal I' jose Rendon Kristene Renteria David Reyes Dolores Reyna 'A Ceci Rincon jesus Rios Delores Rivas Sandra Rivas Hector Rivera L f Leonor Rivera Michael Rivera .

However, there were a few students who had an outrageous solution to this annoying routine. Students didn't have to be jim McMahon, Adam Ant, Lou Reed, Sandra Bernhard, or Grace jones to own a scooter. I love my scooter because it gets me where I'm going, and it also enabled me to zip through the Eastwood traffic, said senior Laura Scales. Scooters became an economical, fun way to get around. I got a scooter because I think they're cool. Besides, if you don't have a license fclass CJ yet, then it's the perfect way to get around, said junior Dora Thrash. To legally operate a moped or scooter in the state of Texas, one must be fifteen years of age and have Solution to Rush Hour Crowds all ' a 1 taken the written test for both cars and motorcycles. Although students enjoyed their scooters, there was an additional rule riders had to observe-wearing helmets. I feel safe without my helmet, but I wear it because it's the law, said sophomore Susie Sedillo. Scooters are very economical. Gas wasn't a wallet-breaker for bikers. It only took 43 cents to fill up a Honda Aero 50. Young motorists were spared sinking seemingly endless dollars in a junker that they could afford at the used car lots. Although scooter prices varied, Honda Sprees and Aeros cost about 15700, and Yamaha Jogs sold for around 15600. Besides rainy and cold weather obstacles, riding scooters had another disadvantage. People in cars don't see me or when they do, they try and run me off the road, said Scales. Scooter drivers were not popular with everyone. People on scooters think they can just zig zag in and out of traffic because theylre so small,' said senior Laura Benavidez. Scooters are motorized vehicles and I think they should abide by the rules of the road, she added. cer X Laura Scales balances her Honda Elite 50 after having to make a quick stop to avoid a lunchtime collision in the student parking lot.

They must be relieved. I noticed that they finally learned there is no pool underneath the stadium! Bea Ontiveros told me that having one year's experience made a big difference. Often, I would see sophomores driving a car fwowlj. Then, of course, there was that awful Student Driver sign on back of the car. At least they had their permits, even though they weren't upperclassmen yet. El Paso was still as dry as ever, but sophomores caught the wave of skateboarding. Cool, huh? I overheard Justin Cale say, Real men don't need water. I know he got that from the 'Qrf I wonder if disc jockey Nat Lamp meant sidewalks or the radio waves of KLAQ? The whole thing really started with Pat Devlin of the El Paso Surf Club. I can't wait until I turn 21 so I can hang out with the rest of the college crowd that goes there after the UTEP games.

I didn't have that as a sophomore. What was really a sight to see was that sophomores no longer acted like freshmen. I was surprised. They could finally tease somebody. Well, have a great weekend!

Video game players racked up the scores as they abandoned their joy sticks and strapped on their helmets. Space age combat became a rage as Photon opened its doors for battle. Wearing 16 pounds of safety equipment, players engaged the enemy for six and a half minutes in a skilled race to rack up the highest score. Photon, located a I I I1 Geronimo, was inspired by the science fiction movie Star Wars. Playing Photon was an incomparable experience because it let me get rid of my frustrations while imagining myself to be in a faraway galaxy, said senior Amber Burkman. The human-like video game wasg played in a two thousand foot auditorium. Green and red teams consisted of 10 members who were required to be taller than four foot six inches. Combatants wore electronically monitored targets strapped to their chests and helmets. Each one used a gun which produced a light ray. ,F As warriors hit targets, their guns reported scores to a central computerf'At first it was a little confusing because I heard through the helmet that I was being hit, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from, said senior Ruben Franco. Introductory offers encouraged newcomers. New players were given a nubie packv which cost nine dollars and contained a passport, two photon game coupons and one phaser token. Wednesday nights were set aside for the females and Sunday evenings were for families. Family night was my favorite because I got to spend time with my family and have fun at the same time, said junior Gilbert Grijalva. Like other video games, the fascination didn't always last. Some players lost interest. At first I kept going back because it was fun, but then it became expensive and boring, said senior Christian Dennison. nder attack, Christine Granados defends herself with a phaser pistol as Derek Edwards and Jerry Waliszewski aim to fire during a six minute game of Photon.

Freshmen Become Powerhouse Largest Class in History of School Adds to the Bulge By Robert Rojo Class loads were bulging at the seams. By the end of the first week of school, 2,410 students had registered for the 1986-87 term, an increase of 200 students over last year. According to attendence clerk Mrs. Elaine White, 50 to 60 more students were expected to register before the end of the year. Enrollment figures showed an uneven distribution. Upperclassmen were outnumbered by a three to two ratio. The class of 1987 numbered 478 and the class of 1988 contained 512 juniors. The sophomore class boasted a hefty 653 members, but the real surprise were the freshmen. Proving to be the largest class of freshmen Eastwood has ever had, 767 students brought the total enrollment to 2,410. Other than a baby boom, there wasn't any unusual reason for such a sudden increase in the school population. Some students have recently moved to our district or they are coming as foreign exchange students, said secretary Mrs. Lily Monsisvais. However, the number of transfer students was not disproportionate to last year's figures. Three portables were positioned by the tennis courts to help alleviate overcrowded classes. Even so, twelve teachers floated to more than one room to hold class. Since I teach in four different rooms, I have to put my lessons on the board four times each day, said English teacher Mrs. Cookie Laffler. This really cut down on my teaching time, she added. Teachers with the same room assigned to them all day relinguished their rooms during their conference period so Boaters could use their rooms. Increased paperwork was another problem. The one problem I had was that parents wouldn't call in when students were absent from school, not to mention the time it took to process the paperwork, said Monsisvais. Population growth compounded the annual problem of late registrants. Its not so much the paperwork involved, its the process that takes the longest to do, said registrar Mrs. Norma Fix. Students who registered late caused some classes to become overcrowded. According to counselor Mrs. Lynda Laird, by mid-October all class loads were tightly balanced. However, American history classes and all fourth period classes were the most tightly squeezed. Math classes are in pretty good shape because they were leveled to limit each class number to 35 students, said Laird. reshman Elizabeth Garcia, sophomore Melinda Urteaga, junior Anne Harley, and junior Sherry Pruitt chat outside one of the three portables added to the campus to relieve overcrowded conditions, CPhoto by Anna Laura jaurrietaj ,--. , as I as ,..

I don't want to get fat because of all the peer pressure involved, said sophomore Erin Brown. Not getting fat was one of the formost reasons teenagers sought exercise. Others simply wanted to be in good shape. Men and women were equally concerned about the image they produced for others to see. Stylish fashions like mini skirts kept the females working out. T-strapped muscle shirts for males made it almust to be in shape. TT ' I Q, 'U A tt Having well-developed biceps is attractive to women. It gives the arm and the body a more masculine look, said senior Ozzie Uribe. While girls watched their waistlines doing aerobics, the guys were busy at work lifting weights to build their size and to increase their strength. I like aerobics because of the music, said sophomore Darlene Davis. I dislocated my left shoulder during a gymnastics team workout so I lift weights to build ii ' u strength, said junior Jeff Wagner. This past year the number of high school students coming to work out at the gym has gone up about 20 per cent, said Belinda Armandariz, a counselor at the Gil Reyes Gym. Armandariz said that students who could not afford a membership at a local gym were often seen jogging in local parks. Armandariz also added that teenagers were watching their diets at home by cutting down on junk food and between-meal snacks. Some students exercised to improve their sports capabilities. Brown said that being on the tennis team this past year made her set some goals, and the encouragement she received from fellow team members made reaching her personal goals easier. . 1-1 ' isrt e.zv ' .rtrtre I ' stci.f f 'ireffi.rtf hird period weight trainer Tyrone jackson works on building the muscles in his thighs by doing shoulder presses on the machine.

Unlimited excused absences awarded relief to students who were already burdened with an overload of rules and regulations. The new absence rule lifted weight off the shoulders of students. Some students with good attendance performed better, achieved higher grades and participated more in school activities. Although I participate in various clubs and extracurricular activities, I find it easy to maintain an 'A' average because I have perfect attendance, said junior Ida Moreno. Extracurricular activity absences ranged from 1-9 per semester, but could not exceed ten absences for the academic year. I think it's a fair ruleg when students get to high school they should be responsible enough to follow the rules, said attendance clerk Mrs. Alice Flores. My absences have made me fall behind in soccer practice although my grades have remained the same, said sophomore Joann Guel. After five unexcused absences, students lost credit. If a student lost credit, he andfor his parents must request credit by examination within ten days. If ten days passed without 'the request, loss of credit notification was served to the student and the parents. Credit by examination had very strict rules. The student could not have any more unexcused absences or any additional disciplinary referrals. The student could not have any tardies in any of his classes, and all grades of required work had to earn at least a 70. In addition, the student had to make a passing grade of the semester exam. Each letter or phone call used to excuse an absence was verified for authenticity. Every student who brought in a note was checked by calling either one of their parents, said attendance clerk Mrs. Lilia Monsisvais. They didn't believe me. I brought a note and had problems getting it verified even though my absence was legitimate, said junior Edna Rodriguezl SE ith evidence of an absence, Melissa Cranford hands in her note for an absence statement. iPhoto by Rick Moralesj YSLETA PUBLIC SCHOOLS ,msn-:xiii-3 s'r.xr:f:mf:N'r iJ?iEf?.-,.. , High Sl1fllfJf2i 'l't11f'-1191745 I have seen.. in retard to 'ihtv r B Signed r... y VQRQQEIPKI O . ,,.., 5 ,,,, ...ss 1 2 Q Elizabeth Mueller Stephanie Moniz Myra Murillo Patrick Muus Kim Myers Melissa Najera Tricia Nava Patti Navar Anne Nelson Jerry Newport Brian Nickerson Jorge N ieto Tom Nunez Edward O'Beirne Tony Ochoa Harold Odegaard Susana Olivas Beatrice Ontiveros Sara Ontiveros Laura Orozco sophomores 201 Ann Marie Ortiz Roxann Ortega i E Richard Ortiz ' Amy Padilla I ' Michelle Padilla Chris Paine Shawn Palmer Melissa Parra Sylvia Parra Toni Partillo repared for Halloween, sophomore David Eastwood vs. Bel Air pep rally. fPhoto by Anna Sosa and friend joey Gutierrez attend the Laura Jaurrietaj Sidewalk By Lisa Chavarria Catching the wave, a small all male clique set their own style on dry land. Clad in baggy trousers and long shirts, skateboarders shunned conformity. Skateboarding wasn't fashionable, it was about being myself and doing what I wanted to do-not just posing, said senior Alfred Newman. Pride in individualism was demonstrated in their footwear and hair styles. Multicolored Converse high tops were the favorites with the group. Personalizing their shoes with graffiti as well as wearing a different color shoe on each foot were two ways which showed style. Skateboarders chose to add their favorite touches, like long bangs or shaved sides, to gelled hair styles. The boards themselves showed style. Dogtown, Santa Cruz, Zorlac, and GSLS were the manufacturers, but the boards were much more. Personal choices included picking different shapes. Hammerhead, and concave effects added to the different sizes. Riding a skateboard required as much skill as surfboarding. Everybody who knew how to skateboard did tricks of some kind, said senior Hugh Middleton. I did tricks such as urfers Ride ave jumping over the top of ramps and steps, and hopping curbs, said sophomore justin Cale. One trick is called an Ollie which means popping a skateboard in the air by grounding it in the tail. Other feats included maneuvering between people who may have been in the way and doing handplants. Enjoying the ride was an important factor. I enjoyed skating because it was fun and challenging, said Middleton. HI didn't have to worry about anything for a while because it was an escape, said Newman. Skating was practical transportation. I used skateboarding to entertain myself while I was going places, said Middleton.

Icy cold gusts in the wake of House Bills 72 and 246 chilled involvement. Students, like leaves, broke off and drifted from school activities. There's a constant pressure and tension in the atmosphere which comes from superiors pressuring teachers to meet so many standards, said junior Liz Molina. As most living things do when winter comes, students made adjustments to accomodate tougher graduation requirements. I used to be on the honor roll, but I had to work harder and got tired, said junior Steve Salazar. Clubs were not allowed to announce meeting dates on the morning announcements so students didn't know they existed. I joined Blue jackets because of all the fliers they put out, I didnlt hear about all the other clubs, said sophomore Beth Holen. Like children being locked indoors during several days of snow, students became anxious to explore what lay hidden out of reach. I joined the Explorers Group fa club for future doctors, which meets at Vista Hills Hospital because while I'm at school I'm concentrating on academics, said Molina. Searching for some freedom within the frostbitten walls, students turned to elective choices only to find academically enhansing and uninteresting classes. We need something, anything to make school more interesting, said Salazar. Students like Dawna Hubert discovered that potentially interesting classes like music hills p1r1t Extracurricular Participation composition were cancelled because too few students had preregistered for them. Students became snowed in because of lack of interest. Monotony could be killed by having more class meetings, pep rallies, or going back to the way things used to be, said Molina. School spirit and the fact that they will see a lot of friends when they go makes people want to go to school events, said junior Troy Taylor. Students learned that it took more than a strong curriculum to get them interested in school. Nobody tried to make it fun, said Salazar. on-participants Albert Martinez and ony Natera watch the rest of the fourth period PE class. fPhoto by Sylvia Pargaj reshmen Kimberly Boswell, Dawn Simon and juan Morales attend their class meeting. fPhoto by Anna Laura Jaurrietaj Qs - 'N 5 ax , W .

Viva . Dancers Capture Memories By Terri Caylor Viva El Paso, the annual production about El Paso's history, offered tourists entertainment while giving four Eastwood students summertime employment and a lifetime of outstanding memories. The show had a total cast of 20 boys and 20 girls who sang and danced to songs such as Abi1ene,' Galveston, San Antonio, and El Paso. Colorful backgrounds and costumes made memorable the many roles each dancer played. Our costumes ranged from folklorico to flamingof' said junior Veronica Davila, three-time-member of Viva E1 Paso. The costumes had really bright colors and looked nice,too,' Davila added. Senior Leo Duran tried out for an acting part and got a dancing part as well. I take dance when it's possible, but because of football, I can't take it during the fall, said Duran. Senior Alicia Alexander and junior Marissa Alexander were also part of the production. I don't plan on a career in dancing, I'm just doing it for fun now but my sister fMarissaj does plan to make dancing her career, said Alicia Alexander. Davila also said that she plans on a career in dancing. I take my dancing seriously and hope to pursue it as a career, she said. Working with a big crew gave the dancers humorous memories. I think the funniest experience was when Butch Davis' loin cloth fell off while he was dancingf' said Marissa Alexander. We had several costume problems,'l Alexander added. I had to wear fake braids in my hair, and had to keep them from flying around. We safety pinned them to my dress, but they ended up falling out of my hair, added Marissa Alexander. Each dancer was paid a stipend for dancing the entire season. It was a great way to spend the summer, said Marissa Alexander. ndians Fred Burrus, Alyssa Daniggelis, Alicia Alexander, and Gilbert Aguirre perform on july 15 in Viva El Paso. iPhoto by Mrs. Alexanderj ts. . ,,,, p , 4 - 4 Y , Niagra 513 5, f.

An altemative to expulsion, the district created a special campus where students and their parents could work out problem student behavior. Assistant principal Mr. Mark Hutman said, Alternative school is an alternative setting for those students who have failed to abide by all rules and regulations in a regular school setting. Alternative school was held at the Valdespino Education Center where all students and their parents actively participated in counseling sessions. Participants from all over the district were given documented usage of printed andfor video materials covering appropriate counseling subjects relative to the student's problem. Students were also required to participate and attend academic sessions designed to assist the student in maintaining reasonable progress in academic courses. The program was designed to keep students out of tempting situations. Hutman said, Those kids were placed in an environment where they had nothing better to do except homework, they don't have the opportunity to get in trouble. Program goals were aimed toward guidance for offenders, not merely punishment. I don't think that altemative school was a deterrent or that fewer students broke rules because they were afraid of alternative school, said Hutman. Most students were unaware of the program or the campus location. I've never heard of it, said senior Lisa Feil. Within one full year its beginning, Eastwood only had 25 referrals to the Valdespino campus. Some students agreed with the program. I think it's a good idea because those kids who are sent there are the ones who were caught abusing drugs or alcohol on campus, said senior Frances Rivas.

Long bangs or bangs shaped long over one eye was popular. I like long bangs because I'm insecure, and it covers my face kind of like a security blanket, said Venessa DeAnda. Pony tails and the bob were female favorites. f'I wear my hair in a bob because it's easy to take care of, and I can put it in a pony tail, said sophomore Laura Gomez. The pony tail craze also brought back into popularity such hair accessories as barrettes, ribbons, scarves, and plastic pony tail holders. I like to wear my hair in a pony tail because it looks vogue, said sophomore Kelly Ledlow. - if P M ' u If :PT-If . is . Streaks of color were visable everywhere. Pink, blue, green strips of hair accented clothing styles. Some students bleached bold highlights throughout their styles. Others completely changed their entire hair. A natural blonde, Kristen Calderwood chose red for her new look. I changed my hair color to red because I am an extrovert and red is an extroverted color, said senior Calderwood. It's part of my creativity and individuality, Calderwood added. Spiked hair was kept in place with sprays and gels. Two prevalent brands were Aqua Net and Studio. Dippity Do, Dep and Tenax gel were also used to create dramatic effects. Glue my hair, I don't care because it would probably stick up better anyway, said senior Hugh Middleton. Football players started to get creative with their haircuts this year by shaving the sidei of their heads. I shaved the sides of my head to be different, but it turned out to be more comfortable inside the helmet, said football player Russel jordan. Ideas for hairstyles came from everywhere: pictures, magazines, other people, or an image a person might want to produce. I got the idea to cut my hair from seeing Brian 'the Boz' Bosworth of the Oklahoma Sooners, said football player john Zarate. Two popular places for this year's look in hairstyles were Rumours and Glemby's. I go to Glemby's because I like the way their stylists cut hair, and they cut it just the way I want them to, said junior Stephanie Ewing. A great deal of creativity was used in developing just the right look. No one wants to be the same as everyone else, said Zarate. air styles for 1987 showed the individual personality of each wearer. Typical choices include Marco Baca, Top Gung Dennis Contreras, new wave, Alfred Newman, a spiked version with long bangs, Danny Segovia, a long version of the mohawk: Lynn Scrivner, a curly version of the bob, and Kelly Ledlow, the ribboned ponytail with spiked bangs. Accents were achieved by tipping and spraying the hair with assorted colors. fPhotos by Hugh Middletonj Ruben Duenez jennifer Duffy Brett Duke Felipe Duran .

The club openly sought the 16 to 20 year-old set for a Sunday night special. The reason behind such a move became apparent on September 1, 1986. Labor Day brought into effect the raising of the legal drinking age from 19 to 21 in Texas. Statewide publicity voiced hope that the new law would counter the rising number of traffic accidents and deaths due to alcohol consumption. It's a stupid law, but who would really abide by it, anyway? said Alex Jaurrieta. Along with the drinking age increase came a ban on certain private parties. Serving liquor at parties which were advertised on fliers and for which admission was charged became a new focal point for law enforcement. It's dumb to have private parties at home outlawed because a person should be able to do whatever he or she wants in the privacy of his! her own home as long as it isn't disturbing any of the neighbors, said Pam Foster. juice bars became more common in high school night life, opening for a night to those under the legal drinking age and not serving any alcoholic beverages. Following the success of Grahams and the Lost Iguana, the Mesa Inn and Meili's followed suit on Fridays. Students welcomed having new places I think the drinking a e should stay at 21, said is Heidi Brassell. Q at Qy ivi'f f of entertainment. More clubs should open up to people under 21 so that we can have somewhere to go and have a good time instead of turning to alcohol to have fun, said Foster. A cleaner lifestyle with no liquor wasn't an obstacle for those who wanted to dance and liven up weekend activities. It was almost impossible to get alcohol before, anyway, and it's not necessary, said jaurrieta. I think the drinking age should stay at 21, and hopefully that will result in less accidents, said Heidi Brassell. Students were not totally cut off from obtaining alcohol because of El Paso's border town status. Night clubs and package stores across the border gained patronage. With Mexican national elections and the summer bridge blockades over, the trek to Juarez was often made during the day solely for the purpose of purchasing liquor. Mexican officials didn't enforce their legal drinking age of 18. The effectiveness of the new law was put into question. People under 21 can have older friends buy liquor for them, or they can always get liquor if they really want it by going over to Juarez, said Foster. atching a Breath of fresh Sunday evening air, Kim Kessler and Patricia Amparan take a break from dancing. iPhoto by Rick Moralesj rinking became the issue on September 1 when the legal drinking age was raised from 19 to 21. fPhoto by Paul Duchouquettej I' Jose Herrera Kimberlee Hewitt Ruby Hinojos Amy Hobbs Kristin Hodges Heather Holen Angela Houser Charlotte Hurst DeAnn Maria Ibarra Sal Immediato Henry Irigoyen Melissa Jackson Denise Jaime Rudy Jaquez Toni Jasper Lilianna Jaurrieta Marissa Jimenez Rebecca Jimenez Kimberly Johnson Kristina Jones Michelle Jones Rodney Jones Rick Jordan Lisa Joyce Luis Juarez Bonnie Karr Danette Keith Christy Kelly John Kelly Keleen Kennedy Kimberly Kessler Robert Keyes Scott Kilburn Lori Kincaid Dawn Kujawa Karen Kumor Michael Lankford Jessica Lara Michael Larrazolo Todd Larsen Seth Lawhead Juan Leal Yvonne Ledezma Jerry Lewandewski Yvette Limas James Linney Edward Lisowski Joseph Lloyd Robert Loa Chris Lobato Mike Lomeli David Lopez Rosa Lopez Sergio Lopez Christopher Lorio Adrian Loya Monica Loya Tony Lucero Melissa Lujan Taylor Lumpkin Elizabeth Macias Richard Macias Claudia Magallanes Mark Magallanes Frank Maldonado Melanie Malone Ann Mapes Leticia Mares Chelaine Marion Victor Marmolejo Gabriel Marquez Andrea Martell Christie Martin Paul Martin Adrian Martinez Albert Martinez Debbie Martinez Ismael Martinez Lara Martinez Lexa Martinez freshmen 215 jason Martinez Magda Martinez Robert Martinez Ruben Martinez Kenneth Mason Sean Mathis Chris Mc Combs Matt Mc Donald Chris Mc Kay Jonathan Mc Kenzie Marcos Mc Millan Carmen Mc Nees Anjanette Medrano Michael Medrano Bernardo Melendez Corrina Melendez Victor Melendez Chris Melhoff Cesar Mendoza Sandra Mendoza Sergio Mendoza Shellie Merritt Scott Mescall Rebecca Michel jennifer Middleton Richard Mihaly Greg Millan Lisa Miller Mona Molina Missy Molinar Monica Molinar Danny Moncada Letti Monreal jill Montague Toni Montana Eric Montano Ray Montelongo Edwardo Montes Isabel Montes Marc Montes Robert Montez Danny Montoya Freddy Montoya T.L.

He finished seventeenth. Watching the winners of the 1984 Olympics, David Wahler got motivated to take up bicycling as a competitve sport. Racing BMX bicycles when he was younger, Wahler started 10 speed racing two years ago. When I first started riding, I was amazed at how fast I could go, said Wahler. I just wanted to keep going faster and faster, he said. Costs for equipment kept rising. Wahler first purchased a ten speed for 1545. The bike he currently rides costs an estimated 81500. Investing in a bike and traveling to the competitions ran almost 153000 in expenses. Wahler set his goals to be in the 1988 or 1994 Olympics and to eventually start p When I first started riding, I was amazed at how fast I could go, said David Wahler. cycling as a career. The 1984 Olympics are what really got me motivated. The Americans dominated in Los Angeles and other competitions, said Wahler. Family and friends encouraged Wahler to carry on with his goals. David is very dedicated to racing, no matter how much time it takes. We all support him in his racing, said close friend Ann Cerney. Wahler's daily workouts started after school and ran until dark. The workouts consisted of anywhere from 40-70 miles a day. Wahler also worked on sprints, hills, and long distance stamina to prepare for competitions. Summertime brought about the tension of competition. Wahler went to San Antonio to compete and qualified to go to Nationals in Boise, Idaho. Nationals consisted of 180 riders, and Wahler finished seventeenth. Wahler was the first person in El Paso history to win state and to finish in the top 20 in the nation.

Senior Todd Peterson is the lead singer of the group Sceptyr. Sceptyr performed at amusement parks and talent shows in the El Paso area. The hardest thing about singing is having the high range it takes to sing rock music, said Peterson. Peterson's main influence and inspiration was the group Stryper. Stryper, the popular Christian rock band, perfonned in the El Paso Coliseum in 1985. Cette Members of Sceptyr are lead guitar player and vocalist Larry Navarette, lead guitar player and vocalist Mike McNeely, rhythm guitarist and keyboarder Darren Peterson, bassist Jess McNeely and drummer Lee Bartley. I think our music is liked because we're playing heavy metal the way it's suppdsed to be played with skilled guitar work and clear vocals, said Peterson. He added, Our music is not just a lot of loud noise. An added highlight to the group's sound was featuring classical guitar in its ballads. According to Peterson, Sceptyr's McNeely was one of the best guitarists. McNeely won the private school nationals in classical guitar three years in a row. After graduation, Peterson planned to keep singing and go to college to pursue a career in electrical engineering. Music is too chancey.

Last year each six weeks grade and the semester examination counted as a quarter of the final semester average. In effect this year, each six weeks grade counts as two-sevenths of the final semester average. The semester final exam accounted for only one-seventh of a student's semester grade. HI like the change because I didn't think it was fair for the test grade to count for so much, said junior Valerie McClellan. Originally the one quarter weight for the semester test was designed to teach students to study and prepare for major tests in college. In college there are many courses in which students only get one grade, the final exam, said assistant principal Mr. Cliff Pickett. This new change took the pressure off students when semester tests came about. To only make the test worth one-seventh was good for bad test takers, said English teacher George Moeck. I like the change because the final grade does not depend so much on the semester test grade, said sophomore Stephen Dominguez. This way I don't have to worry about bombing my semester test, said McClellan. Those students who used the test to pull up their semester average lost the advantage. It was detrimental to those students who needed to compensate for of Exam low six weeks grades, said Moeck. However, in polling 50 students at random, not one student wished to return to the old policy. it 1Hl'Wh1ffh students grade, the final Cliff Pickett. S f:gA cc i, rf, 'ff K K .... . .

As we strove to excel, we gained respect from faculty and fellow students alike. Taking trigonometry, physics, physiology, and creative writing was a major undertaking, but I proved to myself and to colleges that I can succeed by setting my mind to the task, said senior Suzanne Gomez. In order to become honor students we took our special interests a step further than was expected. We missed lunch a few times to learn the new dance routines for Saltatrix. Maybe we spent Saturday completing a color deadline. Perhaps we didn't get to watch football on a Sunday because we were working on an honors English IV research paper at the main library. Even though I had to stay up until one o'clock in the morning to finish homework and had to sacrifice weekend plans, it was well worth it to be recognized by my school, said NHS member Andrea Cale. Sacrifices gave us moments of glory. We were inducted into the National Honor Society QNHSJ. If we enrolled in advanced Spanish classes, we had the chance to join the Spanish National Honor Society. We were named outstanding students in our academic, co-curricular, or extracurricular activity.

His one of the guys personality gave Kennedy an edge in relating to students ranging from the classroom to golf course and football field. I think I had a pretty good relationship with my students, and I hope it was a feeling of mutual respect, said Kennedy. I treated them as young adults and tried to help them in any way I could, he added. In his six years at Cathedral, Kennedy was active in sports and teaching. He was named Rookie Basketball Coach of the Year by the El Paso Times and Coach of the Year by the Texas Christian Interscholastic League QCILQ. He came to Eastwood in September 1983. Eastwood provided a much different atmosphere both in and out of the classroom and afforded me a learning experience in itself, said Kennedy. The students, faculty and especially the athletes of Eastwood are the best in El Paso, he added. In the classroom Kennedy taught adaptive American history, American history, honors American history, and world history, as well world geography in ctive in class discussion, Mr. Mike Kennedy encourages his class to discuss the reign of Alexander the Great of Russia during fifth period world history. Kennedy engaged his classes in debates and current events discussions. fPhoto by Renee Ramirez, 224 dedication sg' 5 summer school. Since high school, I always found history fascinating, he said. The way ancient people lived and what one can learn from them is very interesting, said Kennedy. His fresh approach promoted student interest in history. Coach Kennedy was interesting because he related to students really wellf' said history student Leonor Rivera. Kennedy coached freshman football in 1984, and joined the varsity football coaching roster in 1986. He became a vital force on the golf course. Coaching the girls team to the 2-5A title in 1985, the El Paso Herald Post named Kennedy Girls Coach of the Year. The girls team gained a lot of confidence and strength because coach fKennedyj took time to really work with us on our games, said senior golfer Renee Ramirez. Kennedy's positive attitude was appreciated by his students. Coach Kennedy helped me improve my mental outlook, said senior' golfer Saul Monsisvais.

Meyer worked 20 hours a week at Bennigans and considered finding a second job to help her enter St. Edwards University in Austin next year. Although Cabaness planned to attend either Trinity University or UT Austin, his thoughts returned to high school. According to Cabaness future goals should include friends. Since I've been in speech, I've learned to value friendships, said Cabaness. I'd like to be remembered as a person who could achieve goals but knew how to accept problems and yet have fun, he said.

Since the , ,ij a,W A p ,,5.. ,, - seventh grade, Torres devoted most of , is her time to speech and enrolled in honors ' iffjgyagjust S English classes. I got into speech in the if fi. . .Qi I .gg . junior high mainly to get away from my fear of talking in front of audiences, said Torres. Torres received awards in speech throughout her high school years. As a junior she received a second place in poetry and third place in cross- examination debate QCX debatej. Torres placed in district competition. As a senior Torres won a second place CX debate ranking at the Cathedral tournament. She went on to win a second place in women's extemporaneous speaking at the Loretto tourney. Both events, CX debate and extemporaneous speaking, were Texas Forensic League qualifying merits for Torres for her junior and senior years. A member of the National Forensic League, Torres earned the coveted double ruby pin for her high competition points. With definite plans to attend college, Torres' dream school is Stanford Universitv. I want to major in -wi . . . .aidff rf international relations, said Torres. She added, I want to work in an Embassy or for the U.S. government. Although Torres had an idea she would receive a spot in Who's Who for speech, the Who's Who for English award came as a big surprise. I had no idea I'd be considered, said Torres. Support didn't seem to be a problem for Torres due to the fact that her family and friends stood behind her in everything she did. Most of my friends are in speech so we all help each other, and they encourage me and give me reassurance in everything I do, said Torres. She added, My family does the same when it comes to encouraging me for speech and English. Due to handling busy schedules, Torres had time to devote herself to other extracurricular activities as well. Torres was a member of the Young Scholars Bowl and the National Honor Society. Both subjects proved to have built-in rewards. In English when I worked real hard on a paper and in return I received a good mark, that was enough to satisfy me, said Torres. She added, The feeling I got in speech was not from the winning or the trophy, it was just the exhilaration of competition. My speech classes helped my with my English classes, and my English classes helped with my speech classes, she added. Torres said she owed much of her success to her teachers. Miss Shawn Crain was instrumental in pushing me further toward my goal, and Mrs. Rita Harlien was really good in encouraging me to do my best at competition, said Torres. Having Mrs. Dee White for AP Cadvanced placement Englishj taught me a lot when it came to writing structured papers, she said. I really appreciate her QWhiteQ for making me work a little harder, Torres added. 230 Who's Who .Free throw shooter Laura Harmon 1301 tries for two after being fouled by an Ysleta opponenet. iPhoto by Alex Ramirezj A. . . . .,,sw..., .

The no pass-no play rule made athletes study harder to remain eligible. It put pressure on my studying and my performance on the course, said golfer Saul Monsisvais. The pressure helped me cope with my performance in golf because it took nerves of steel to make a shot which could make or brake a round, added Monsisvais. The no pass- no play rule made me try harder because it ftraining for competitionj would all have been worthless if I was ineligible, said wrestling captain Ruben Hernandez. Learning discipline through studies played a key role in some athletes' performances. My studies enriched my performance by disciplining me more, said swimmer julie Snow. Baseball helped me to work harder and to keep my grades up, said Frank Castillo. Some students learned the value of personal sacrifice.

Who's Who 231 Leaders Earn R cognition By Renee Ramirez Talented leaders learned valuable lessons which contributed to their outstanding performances. I have learned responsibility from the hard work and dedication that I have given to yearbook, said Salute assistant editor Alma Lozoya. Special jobs fostered special talents. Being student council president helped me prepare to shoulder responsibilities that I will be confronted with in my future, said Charles Perkins. Accurately reporting the exchange of ideas in journalism has made me understand the media's power, said Salute co-editor Christina Chavarria. Conducting interviews and helping new staffers has taught me to get along better with people and their different attitudes, said Sabre co-editor Andrea Cale. Some outstanding students recognized 232 Who's Who W-4. W Qi . ,ii.. a e ' 1.-Q., ee Mui' 3 s outside support. The hard work and patience of my instructors, the support of my family, and a lot of effort has helped me become a successful musicianf' said drum major Luis Martinez. My success is a combined effort of my ambition and my adviser's example, said Salute co- editor Christine Granados. It was a lot like the old saying 'a person absorbs more deeply what they see than what they are told,' said Granados. Many extracurricular participants also felt the burden of no pass-no play. Saltatrix helped my studies by making me keep up my grades, said Saltatrix president Monica Wasiewski. IfI hadn't have kept my grades up, I wouldn't have been cheering, and cheering was my incentive for making good grades, said head cheerleader Julie Summerford. Honorees managed time for both academics with extracurricular activities. Being in magazine production has helped me realize how to budget my time for my other studies, said Reveille co- editor Jinx Montano. My involvement in extracurricular activities has helped me to manage my time because I knew I had to make good grades in order to perform, said Cavalier Caryn Hickman. Through hard work, honorees enriched performances. Working hard in school just made me work a little harder during performances, said Trooperette captain Esther Rios. Doing the best that I could in all my classes made me work harder to put together the best yearbook for Eastwood, said copy editor Lori Segura. abre co-editor Andrea Cale pastes up in an effort to finish her deadline assignments for the February 13th issue. fPhoto by Anna Laura jaurrietaj erformers in Who's Who are FRONT ROW: Andrea Cale QSabrej, Christina Chavarria QSalutej, Caryn Hickman Qchoirj, Aaron Ingle forchestraj, Luis Martinez Qbandj, Charles Perkins fStudent Councilj, Christine Cranados QSalutej, Lori Segura fSalutej, and Anna Laura Jaurrieta fSalutej3 BACK ROW: Venessa De Anda CSabrej, u eah team!

'i iiil i L' isii outstanding student in both choir and A Reveille, the literary magazine. fi i',- 'si' A i me Although he was named co-editor of p Reveille and was elected president of 5 . Cavaliers, Montano seemed surprised at his accomplishment. I didn't really think 5, LALZ7 A 5, ,gziphg 1 would be picked for Who's who, said '??b6Sii Montano. Montano added that as a , fl O freshman the thought of being selected A for Who's Who had crossed his mind, but 5 i 5 t,i' that he had never consciously chosen it as ag f. a major goal. iii' , At the age of four Montano began taking piano lessons. By the time he was in the eighth grade, he began accompanying the choir. 'jinx was a responsible, mature student who worked hard, said choir director Mrs. Karen Pilgrim. He also has outstanding leadership qualities, she added. Montano is an accomplished singer in his own right. Performing as a tenor with the choir, he received superior ratings in solo and ensemble during his sophomore and junior years. Competing as a baritone, Montano also won places in both All-Region and All-Area Choir competitions for the past three years. Montano's literary excellence began to emerge when he entered high school. As a freshman, his short story Ocean and Oceanidsn was published in the literary .g5 'i ljwf 7 magazine. This beginning success in a nearly all-senior publication convinced him that writing was an activity that he would enjoy. Montano was one of a handful of students who joined the magazine production class when he was a junior. 'jinx was a very amiable student who eagerly met his responsibilities and was loyal to his commitments, said adviser Mrs. Patricia Clark. He took great care in doing his work and also seemed to enjoy helping others, she added. Besides his activities in choir and Reveille Montano took part in many other extracurricular activities. Montano served as vice-president of S.A.D.D. fstudents Against Drunk Drivingj the new club which started early in the year at Eastwood. Montano was also president of service club Anehta Sesea and was active in Student Council. I enjoyed meeting and working with different people, said Montano. Montano attributed his success to the support of his friends and family. Mrs. Pilgrim and Mrs. Clark have been the greatestf, said Montano. They have been more than teachers to meg they have been two of my best friends, Montano added. Montano's future aspirations included college. He said he hoped to some day attend Stanford University or Tennessee State University. I think I'll start school in El Paso while I decide what my major will be, said Montano. aking their final decisions, co-editor Jinx Montano and adviser Mrs. Patricia Clark select Reveille submissions during fifth period. fPhoto by julie Rahnj Who's Who 233 M Vx af iz 234 honors Q 'E W9 w I 2 '21 72 I5 ,mf ,f S E fs .

Hours of after school time were given up in order to strengthen the abilities that each student possessed. Achievers in speech benefitted through the acquisition of skills while they competed for honors in district, regional, and state meets. Speech helped with analytic thinking because the general view of topics was viewed in black and white when actually they were in finer shades of gray, said Tim Burns.

Pam Lemley encouraged service, and Aric Swaney delivered a speech about outstanding character. Each inductee received a certificate, a pin, and a membership card for being accepted. The organization also participated in projects which served the school. Members hosted the Homecoming tea for the exes and provided entertainment for the graduates. On report card day members escorted parents to the proper classrooms to meet the teachers. The group arranged for the production of the student telephone directory, The Garrison. Distribution took place in late january. We do a lot of service activities, said senior Andrea Torres. To Spanish National Honor Society members, being bilingual meant a better method of learning the culture of Mexico. We not only studied about the language in books, we experienced the culture, said junior Claudia Martinez. To be accepted into SNHS, students were required to have an 85 or above grade point average. Another requirement was that the student had to be enrolled in a Spanish III or IV class. The officers of the society received points and were eligible for lettering. SNHS taught me leadership qualities and motivated me to do better, said president Bonnie Delgado. One project which earned points for the organization was the Homecoming float which won first place in the parade's float contest. Mexican dancers filled the two Mexican Fiesta trucks which were adorned with flowers and pinatas. In the background Mexican music provided the beat for the dancers. All the hard work it took to make the float paid off when we won first place, said senior Miguel de Santiago. Inductees to the society received a patch and a certificate as a symbol of recognition. I wanted to prove to myself and SNHS that I could learn Spanish, said junior Matt Humble. It gave me a boost to be chosen, he added.

We came out of school that Friday anticipating the weatherman's prediction of snow. We had lots of it. Who had time to stay indoors? We had four glorious days of freedom in a departure from the hot weather. We met at Album Park to build snowmen, or we whetted our appetites for deeper mounds of the cold stuff by traveling to its natural slopes. I went skiing at Snowbird in Utah, and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous, said senior Marcy Acosta. While it snowed outside, some of us were indoors cheering our swimming teammates. Track got under way and did not disappoint those of us who were enthralled with the anticipation of the 1988 Olympics. As seniors some of us got to spend a weekend on the campus of our choice and sample the night life of the city. It was a whole new awesome experience. carefree fascination 267 C a r e f r e e ascinatio We observed important dates. January and February saw the birthday commemorations of Martin Luther King Jr., George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The nostalgic feeling to preserve the past spurred us on to join the cultural cause and save the Plaza Theatre. Those not committed to attending the campus beauty pageant, attended Rita Moreno's gala benefit on Jan. 31. We explored historical and distant places. The Close-Up trip to Washington, D.C. not only offered the chance to learn about the government but to make new friends. I met a lot of people from all over the country and saw some beautiful monuments, said Close-Up participant Janne Wildenrath. Our wrestlers continued to awe us in the district and state matches. Quite actually, we ended up tops in district in boys basketball, girls basketball, football, swimming, tennis, baseball, boys soccer, girls soccer, and track. Everything was going so great that it was hard to keep our minds on business-studying. When second semester arrived it was harder to concentrate on school work because I just wanted to have a good time, said freshman John Kelly. We expanded our literary horizons when the library received classic books in hardback. The Oscars and the Grammies, along with the mini-series Amerika, had us glued to the tube. For us females, Charlie Sheen in Platoon and Andrew McCarthy in Mannequin were gorgeous. We had the sun back so we lay out in the sun in search of the perfect tan or 10 as we got back into shape. The lockout didn't St interfere with a great time as we displayed our respect for Mr. Frank Burton, our new principal. Many of us also had the opportunity to get to know the new assistant principal Mr. Ed Gabaldon. asa es CPh0f0bYAHI1 L J lm?

We did not lose our winning streak. Speech and basketball continued to wow us. We crowned our most beautiful girl and most handsome boy. Saltatrix journeyed to Houston to show East Texas how it was really done. The last yearbook deadline was mailed- finally! It was a great way to get together before we took off for spring break. Some of us got together and left town for a week of R and R. My friends and I headed to South Padre Island where the surfing was fantastic, said senior David Beck. We met the deadlines for college applications and decided on what classes we would take next year. Best of all, the weekends were better and better. We clowned around in our caps and gowns waiting for the big moment. More than anything I looked forward to college because it will be a whole new experience, said senior Barbara Cowden. Spring fever kept spreading. Our studying habits loomed on the edge of nonexistence, but we had our acts together. We always had the hot weekends to hang loose. When I heard the last bell ring on Friday, I knew the next two days would be so different from the rest of the week, said sophomore Christiane Herber. carefree fascination 271 Ca refree ascinatio We had two Friday the thirteenths, and that could only mean good luck. We were the tops in publications. Our newspaper had earned the coveted medalist award from the Columbia Press Association. After the last basketball victory we went to the big party after the game. Juarez was still the place to be seen. We didn't have to worry about semester exams any more because they only counted one seventh of the final grade. Most of all, we looked to the summer and what lay beyond. Freshmen would finally join the higher ranks, and best of all, the juniors partied down during their senior summer. We seniors would be flying off in all kinds of directions-college, work, careers, marriage, families. It would be our turn to experience the fabulous pursuit of the good life. We wanted to always remember all the wild and crazy times of high school. We hoped we would meet up again when we were older, to have wild reminiscences of our escapades. We realized that we had one last chance to go sick, to enjoy high school life as we knew it for the last four years. It was the final time to enjoy the embrace of high school security. I know that I'll never be able to go back to living the carefree life of high school so I am doing all that I can while I still have the chance, said senior Maureen Nash. Summer arrived at last. We could finally enjoy true fascination for three months-or perhaps a lifetime.
