Carefully arranged hair fell limp with extreme humidity as students dashed to their classes, striving to outrun the tardy bell. I was there. An entire EngUsh II class was crowded around the library ' s card catalog on a Wednesday afternoon. All were searching for the shortest book to read that night for the report due the next day. I was there. It was a hot, crowded Friday afternoon in the fieldhouse. Enthusiasts unwound from the previous week ' s labor through rhythmic hand clapping, cheering, and cowbell ringing as Victor pranced to the exhilarating beat of the band. I was there. Lights were left on in the Journalism room on a Saturday night. Empty pizza cartons, Whataburger cups, and forlornly wadded-up copy was scattered across the tables. On the editors ' desk could be seen the tears of the unfortunate staffer who was forced to rewrite his story for the fourth time. I was there. I flood every hall and seep into every classroom. I am the spirit of MacArthur High School. I am what makes it what it is. I live in all. I am all. Terry Smith, Kim Simon, and Mary Nelson search through the card catalog for term theme topics. D ' i- it - fv SivtJi As many a dedicated CREST staffer knows, iht- maki n s uf a yearbook include lonx workduyu with junk food, warped pica poles, and cracked emulsions. In a desperate but unsuccessful attempt to outrun the tardy bell, David Gray and Tina Oiler dash through the student parking lot. Prior to the Austin Reagan game, Victor ' s alias, Doug Stover, ponders the bt inning of a new football season and a now-falsley predicted sixth-place finish. gallery 15 The misfit desk from Travis Junior High is strangely out of place when surrounded by MacArthur students Ijnda LaBleu, Phyllis lindsey, Gigi Brown, Beth Williams, Jan Burkhedter, Susan McQuiddy, and Catherine Abadie.

Interior decor included two coats; an old sack lunch; one stiff, almost- white gym sock; and a multitude of loose papers, yellowed with age. I returned this past year (As I do every year) in a number of different objects— from the mythological elevator pass to the space- skipping typewriter that seemed to have a mind of its own. Remember that too-small, wobbly desk in Room 224— the one nobody wanted to sit in? it was constantly shuffled from row to row, person to person. That was a part of me. Like that growang herd of buffaloes in Mrs. Tracy Youngblood ' s classroom, I am traditional. Their genesis, like mine, was long ago, and as time elapsed, we both gradually populated a shelf full of memories. But I was also represented in unprecedented forms. A kazoo became the basic symbol of an authentically spirited Senior -% ' ing with imderclassmen for the newly revived spirit stick. New trophies were added to the shelves of old ones as memories of the past and present interlocked. gallery IT 0 l inct IHtfec omt I lived in all places. Not only was my presence sensed in the parking lot with no place to park, but also in the attendance office, where tardy passes were awarded to those who: a) couldn ' t start their car, b) slipped in the snow and dropped their books in a drainage ditch; c) forgot their locker combinations; or d) any two of the above. I was in the Cardette office on a Friday afternoon, when a small group planned upcoming routines amongst papers, Dr. Pepper cans, and cookie crumbs. I was seen in the bookroom, the corner DECA store, and the patio, not to mention the decorated restrooms. I was perceived in the clinic, where matters were taken slowly, carefully, and systematically, much unlike the usually boisterous scene at the Bird ' s Nest following each football game Bob Spears and Kelly Karris await service while Deca Store personnel I eth Whitehead and Sylvia Smith consult the price manual. 18 gallery Paul Cox winces despite gentle treatment of his wcjund by Nurse ' s Aide Mrs. Joyce CiMjper. y y J.

Yes, I lived in the places and objects of MacArthur, but most importantly, I lived in the people of the school. The administration, faculty, and students plodded through their daily routines of lectures, labs, and homework at the direction of my hand. Lunch, an important part of the student ' s schedule was also a time to break the monotony. Through the eyes of the happy face on the North Cafeteria wall, I saw activity come as easy as A, B, C (lunches, of course). I witnessed great swelling lines, flying peas, and even a few clean plates. To further break the routine, I encouraged my people to get involved in clubs and organizations. I inspired dances, plays, and parties to help them out of their Curricular Rut. From the humming members of the K.K.K. (Kardinal Kazoo Klub) to those apprehensive performers backstage during a drama production, I was behind them all. I am the one who promoted competition. It didn ' t matter if it was athletic or musical in nature; between schools or betweeii classes; or between the odors of Homemaking ' s burnt spaghetti and Biology ' s formaldehyde-laden earthworms. As my people walked out through the red metal doors for the last time, they retained a small part of me, but left an immeasurable amount of memories behind . . . memories that accumulated over four years and will be continually built upon in the years to come. K I were absent. MacArthur would merely be a hollow education machine. I am the past, present, and future; the tangible and the intangible I am what makes it what it is. I live in all. I am all. gallery 21 ®n sec the reflection of ti]e moon in a foell is a sign of fame. I an Cannot uspenh ts (Sfat Hello, Mortal. This is Fate speaking. Don ' t get that bewildered look on your face — I ' m the guy who put Jimmy Carter in office and made it rain on your Homecoming Parade. Remember when I softened up and helped you complete that six-weeks project in three? No, no autographs today, because I ' ve got more important things to do. I merely called to inform you of a few of my recent accomplishments. These are all minor, of course — my really good ones would boggle your common, feeble mind. Let meseenow . . .I ' ve got a couple of ski champions, an actor, a pilot . . . okay, okay, I ' ll start with the motocross champion. So pay attention, for Fate doesn ' t say anything twice. Sean O ' Brien is this motorcycle master I ' m referring to ... I did a great job with him. You see, he isn ' t the type of guy you ' d see riding a Honda 50 in the field behind your house, because he ' s one of the nation ' s top 45 amateur cyclists in the 125cc class. You heard me right— top 45— in fact, Sean placed thirteenth when competing against the other 44 riders in California in October 1976. He has also won several minicycle championships and other contests, but I haven ' t time to go into these. I must consider Sean ' s future as a motorcyclist now. Let ' s see, he wants to turn pro at age 16 . . . While skillful handling and controlling of a ball never seemed to really excite me, it has always appeared to fascinate you humans. For some this ball may be a football, for others a basketball, but for Paul Doubet it is a soccer ball. Paul was a member of the national soccer team— the U.S. Youth Team, I believe — which toured Germany in the fall of 1975. The team was comprised of only 16 players under the age of 19 for this soccer tour that included the German cities of Hannover, Kiel, Hamburg, and Berlin. A once in a lifetime experience you say now — I couldn ' t have said it better. I know how most of you mortals behave whenever you ' re turned loose in a swimming pool or lake. You constantly splash and splatter water, making an absolute fool out of yourself. That ' s why I enjoy watching Rebecca Earl take part in the sport of synchronized swdmming. Here, considerable body control and graceful actions are combined while competing in the water sport she describes as a combination of figure skating and gymnastics. She has done quite well thus far, placing first in all three phases — solo, duet, and team — on both the association and regional levels. By the way, she has also travelled to such cities as Des Moines, Kansas City, Washington D.C., and Denver while competing. Kelly Lea is next on my list and I think you should at least glance at her picture — doesn ' t she look great? While many of you have school portra its that I wouldn ' t even hang in my closet, Kelly is a model who repeatedly takes good pictures. Since the age of 13, Kelly has been involved in modeling with the Sanger-Harris and Titche ' s Teen Boards. And while I wouldn ' t even consider putting many of you beneath, much less atop, a modeling stage, I have placed Kelly upon them while participating in fashion shows at Irving Mall, Northpark, and Neiman-Marcus. I understand she wants to someday model at the Apparel Mart on a regular basis in place of the occasional job offerings she gets there now. That ' s something I ' ll have to look into . . .

But the next time you ' re out stumbling around on the shore of a lake, look out across the silvery surface and you might see Sammy and Camille Duvall confidently performing tricks and stunts. They aren ' t in a boat or even swimming, but are atop a pair of water skis. Sometimes travelling at speeds faster than attained by some of those heaps you drive, Mortal, they do amazing acrobatics and slalom skiing. So . . . you won ' t believewhatl ' ve just said until you have some proof. Okay, listen. Both Sammy and Camille have been named National Overall Water Skiing Champions — Sammy winning with what tournament officials termed an astounding number of points in 1974 and Camille earning this title an incredible four consecutive years. Both skiers have also held nimierousrecords in their respective divisions — in fact, too many for me to place in your minds at once. Camille was also a member of the 1975-1976 U.S. World Water Ski Team— yes, world— and has competed in international tournaments in both Bogota, Columbia, and London, England. It may seem as though 1 have allowed them to accomplish an amazing amount thus far— and I have— but I ' m sure I can think of something else for them . . . Picture yourself in this situation. Mortal— you are standing alone on a stage, bright Ughts are beaming down upon you, and hundreds of watchful eyes— sometimes even more— are focused on you and your actions. How would you react? Don ' t try to cover it up; I can see you trembling at just the thought of Camille Duvall . . . was named National Overall Water Skiing Champion ... an incredible four consecutive years. this position as an actor or an actress. But for those of you who have passed this fear known as stage fright, let me introduce two of my best performers, Marty and JeffBongfddt. It is possible that you may have seen one of them performing in one of their many Irving Community productions or, forthoseof you who venture to Dallas, the Dallas Ptepertory Theatre While I have thus far limited Marty to these two stages, I ' ve allowed Jeff to perform at the Crystal Palace Dinner Theatre and Dallas Summer Musicals also. Most of Marty ' s parts have been as a chorus member while Jeff has done everything from chorus in Oliver and Brigadoon to Louis in The King and I and the lead part twice out of his three performances of Peter Pan.

You are sadly mistaken! I make the skies safe for you every time you step on a plane I guide the persons who pilot those planes. Take Marilyn Hilborn, for instance. She began flying in December 1975, has already earned her private license, and will soon receive her commercial, instrument, and her instructor ' s ratings. Keep in mind that she doesn ' t do all this just for fun— she plans to make a career of it. She has worked harder than many of you sluggards and deserves to be able to enter flying as her livelihood. Hey— that ' s certainly a good idea! I must make a note of that . . . Now, how many of you can blast, from the sky, 85 pigeons out of 100? No, I am not declaring open season on the poor innoc ent statue- dwellers in the public parks. I am just mentioning the average number of clay pigeons that Judy and Jim Sims hit when skeet shooting at the local gun clubs. They spend much of their leisure time in practice, and it has paid off. I have led them to many awards and honors in meets all over the country. Jim even won a first place trophy in the Class E Buck Stark Competition at the Dallas Gun Club. They have also placed in competitions in Kent County, Michigan, and at Roaring Forks, Colorado. I take immense pride in their work— and rightly so. I am responsible for their past success, as well as any future glory which may lie within their range. What has long hair, eight wheels, and dances? Can ' t figure it out, eh, Mortal? Well, it ' s Unda Hill— when she roller skates! This activity claims much of her free time and her diligent practice has led her to many honors. As early as 1967 she was awarded a trophy for figure and freestyle skating. In 1968 she received a prize for freestyle-dance competition. Pretty good, huh? She wants to manage her own rink and instruct both rookie and apprentice skaters in the future. I think I can work that one out . . . Who would have thought I would need to burn a house to uncover a natural talent? But since all of my other methods failed . . . VinoePc l would never haveknown the extent of his agility on wheels if his home had not been destroyed by fire two years ago — forcing his family to move into an apartment while repairs were carried out. He began roller skating to alleviate his initial boredom while adjusting to his unfamiliar habitat. His talent has been recognized by skating professionals, and though he has had no lessons he has been asked to skate for Mid-Cities Skateland in Irving. He enjoys freestyle skating and would Hke to take lessons to polish his technique ... I think such results have justified my small fit of pyromania — no matter what you may say, common Mortal!

(i M Wendy Jacobsen is hard at work weaving musical magic. :«i pvuiil ' ®ts ot for portals to Commanh I have not neglected the arts in this list of revelations. I do appreciate the finer things in life, especially music, though my tastes lie on a much higher plane than those of you mere humans. Don ' t think I have forgotten your simple tastes— oh, never! I cannot be accused of neglect— not as long as my name is Fate. I have provided you with musically talented individuals to liven up your drab mort£il existence. When most of you are out cruisin ' on a Tuesday night, Wendy Jaoobsen is hard at work weaving musical magic for you base folk. She started as a clarinet player, but a bassoon shortage was brought to my attention, so I helped her change her mind. She is now the third chair bassoon player for the Irving Symphony Orchestra. She wants to major in music education, later to earn a Doctorate on the bassoon. She may be good material for a major symphony orchestra in the future. Let ' s see, what about that opening I have in the 1993 Philadelphia Philharmonic . . . Marty Giesecke marches to the beat of a different drum— literally. He is a former member of the MacArthur Marching and Symphonic Bands. Presently he and his older brother are the principal percussionists for the Irving Symphony Orchestra. He is quite accomplished in the field of percussion, playing timpani, snare, and bass drums, as well as more melodic instruments such as the bells, chimes, and xylophone. While he hasn ' t made any plans for music in his future, I ' m sure I can find a way to change his mind. I haven ' t failed yet! If you belong to more than one orchestra, raise your hand. I don ' t see too many hands ... oh, there he is! Jeff Waldo has his hand up. For the past two years he has been the solo English horn player for the Irving Symphony Orchestra, and last September he was accepted into the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra as principal oboist and solo English horn player. He has been playing the oboe for only five years— I think I ' ve done an extremely good job with him. Of course, all my hard work may lie fgillow for a while — he wants to pursue a medical career. But then, there ' s always those doctors ' chamber orchestras . . . All the music you hear has been written by a select group of geniuses, such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig von Beethoven, Paul Hindemith, Scott Loehr— oops, got a Uttle ahead of myself. Scott is a Junior at Mac and has been composing and arranging music for two years; his most recent accomplishments include the Overture and Finale from ' Tommy ' for symphonic band. He is currently arranging Vangelis ' Heaven and Hell and an original work, both for band. Not only is he a composer- arranger, he is quite an accomplished drummer and keyboard artist. How many of you so-called intelligent beings can top that? Very few, I should wager. Hey, Mortal — did you get all that? Those who I have just revealed to you are some of my most interesting mortal creations. Don ' t get that glum look on your face — they weren ' t chosen because I liked the way they dressed, or how- big they smiled. They all worked hard to get where they are. and deserve a bit of a reward. So, if you do happen to get a medal, or even a pat on the back, you ' ll have me to thank. However, the next time you bite into a banana and find half a worm, take it as a subtle hint . . .

The eager competitors take their places at the board and each chooses his token. In this comer, at a towering 5 feet and % inches, is Freddie, wearing his lucky orange letter sweater. Moving clockwise around the playing board, we come to Suzy who is obviously proud of her second corner status. John Jr. plans the strategy needed to acquire enough skills during the course of the game to ensure his promotion from third to the fourth position, widely known as the area of utmost distinction, which is now held by the knowledgeable Sylvia. Now comes the ' ig awaited roll of the dice. Freddie anxiously tosses them onto the board and cringes as a five turns up. Advancing his token, he discovers it now rests on Arithmetic Avenue. Here, Freddie will strive to grasp the absolute truth of an absolute value. In Algebra, he will perceive the ideal method of using quadratic equations, while Geometry class will expand his methods of logical reasoning. This will eliminate some mental anguish as he tries to prove the patio is a square given that the NE corner is congruent to the SW corner and that the N wall is equal to the W wall. He plans a strong mathematical future by taking such courses as Trigonometry and Elementary Analysis. Eventually Analytical Geometry and Calculus will also be added to his list of credits. With this first worthy purchase in the competition, he has already gained the jealousy of his opponents and shown that Arithmetic Avenue is clearly worth the price it sells for. In a brilliant count ermove, Suzy passes up Arithmetic Avenue and quickly purchases Science Street. As she carefully analyzes the title deed, several facts become apparent. Students study the basics, ranging from the Metric System to Newton ' s Theory, while taking Physical Science. Aspiring chemists labor over the bubbling solutions and strange equipment, while a faint and mysterious murmur of, Will it explode? escapes from the lips of fellow chemistry students. Following her nose, Suzy ends up in Biology class, where she sees students examining the entrails of an earthworm. With luck, she can advance to Biology II, and study the more advanced systems of cats and sharks. Science Street will soon be invaluable to Suzy. With the constant inflation of science- related careers, the property is predicted to double in value in the near future. Although Kenney Pomykal ha.s masterfd thi. ' i I ' hy.

He lands on English Place. John starts off on the wrong foot by handing in his term theme one week late and lacking two footnotes. He is penalized and must move back four spakes. Hopefully, as a Senior, he will roll snake-eyes and have the good fortune to take such elective English courses as Words, Tools for Thought, Advanced Placement, College Survival, or Sports in Literature. As an added bonus, John passes GO and collects 200 new vocabulary words and the knowledge required for the proper use of relative pronouns. Sylvia, using the time-honored trick of blowing on the dice, gets a lucky four and lands on Language Lane. Four corresponding tongues — Spanish, French, German, and Latin — are built upon this site. However difficult it may be to acquire the entire piece of property, even one plot will be useful as the game progresses. Collecting a wide variety of foreign words and phrases, Sylvia also attains the ability to join them in proper sentence structure. She will improve her polylingual skill by singing Christmas carols in Spanish or by performing Latin ceremonies of matrimony. In Mrs. Ann Price ' s Latin II class, Linda LaBleu, Lisle Hall, Caroline Etter, Mike Maus, Toni Rains, Wayne Foster, and Alisa Rumsey perfect a Greek versic Cotton-Eyed Joe. sion of the 36 curriculum After a Roman wedding in Mrs. Ann Price ' s Latin I class, Richard Howdion accepts a piece of matrimo nial cake from his W)- minute bride, Jeni Fowler.

In a College Survival class version of The Planet of the Apes, human Randy McKnight refuses to be chained by apewoman Mikki Goodwin. curriculum 37 During Sociology, Allyson Tausend eyes with interest the benefits of welfare in the game of Ghetto, while Beth Whitehead, Lisa Rings, and Mrs. Tracy Youngblood offer their assistance. During a Homemaking lab, Mary McQuillan and Jeri Beard find that making -er paint lies in a bit of Ivory Flakes, a ' water, and a drop of food coloring. - ' -v: ' SKf ' d - ' -■ar - K vounh % oarh in 40 oXit Freddie rolls a double three and clinches his teeth ashenearsJAIL Luckily, he lands on Social Studies Square. Surveying the property, he sights American History students researching the development of our country from colonial days to modern times. Around the comer, he spots a mock National Democrat Convention being held to familiarize Government classes with the American political system. Everything from Cro- Magnon Man to the advent of the turbulent 60 ' s is covered in World History. The four comers of the Earth are revealed in World Geography, but for those who enj oy staying closer to home, Texas and Latin American History are available. Freddie has certainly gained ? well-rounded piece of property that is likely to bring in massive dividends when he apphes the knowledge of capitalism he received in Economics. Having previously rolled doubles, P ' reddie again takes the dice in hand and casts a six. He now rests upon Freud Walk, where Sociology and Psychology are housed. Sociology examines the individuals ' role in society, while Psychology focuses exclusively on the inner workings of the mind. The ability to better understand one ' s self, others, and the surrounding environment can be found here and should prove more than beneficial to Freddie as he continues dealing with his competitors. Suzy now finds herself in a bind due to the sue cess of her opponents. Out of necessity, she will have to make an extraordinary move to stay in the running. Crossing her fingers, Suzy counts off ten spaces as she nears Homemaking Boulevard. Here students refine their cooking, sewing, and miscellaneous household duties. Academic studies include nutrition, child care, and proper home management. Other pupils delve into the professional world through Home Economics Cooperative Education (HECE) and Pre-Employment Lab Education (PELE). These select few work in the day care centers, kindergartens, and fashion-related fields. Thoroughly pleased, Suzy realizes she will no longer have to rely on the Pillsbury Doughboy for flaky biscuits, but can make her own from scratch. District Attorney Vicki Moore interrogates key witness Marilyn Hilbom as bailiff Bob Hogue records the proceedings during a mock trial in Mrs. Eunice Gilchrist ' s Government class. curriculum 39 In preparation for Jabberwock, Lisa Hood gives David Kennedy a new nose while Jeff Nicholson and Chuck Wagner discuss the finer aspects of facial contouring. Members of the A Cappella Choir polish the concluding carol of their upcoming performance in the Yuletide assembly. At an afternoon practice session, tutor Mr. Robert Eidener counts the measures to his part in a duet with Joel tjuintas. 40 curriculum atse Prop rtg tni As expected, the game is rapidly becoming a heated battle. John Jr. moves his token to the musical section of the board, Melody Kow. The students in these classes, although abounding in talent, must put in many hours of hard work studying music theory and perfecting concert skills. John is delighted with his investment. which includes, free of charge, such assets as outstanding choir performances and symphonic concerts by the band. The roll of the dice now calls for Sylvia to advance to the creative comer of the board. ITirilled because she has cast deuces, Sylvia eagerly obtains a new piece of real estate.

Sylvia needs to hold on to this property if she expects to work as a guide on the Six Flags Railroad this summer. Before Sylvia can breathe a sigh of relief, Freddie rips the dice from her hand. This brilliant strategy could probably be classified as one of the Ten Greatest Blunders in Modem History, as he promptly lands in JAIL. His pride damaged, and whimpering slightly, Freddie relinquishes his turn to Suzy. Hoping to land on Free Parking, Suzy confidently rolls the dice and counts the spaces, only to find her hopes shattered as she lands on Writer Works, where journalists reside. Still disappointed, she looks for reasons to buy this property. In Journalism I, Suzy could learn the fundamental aspects of writing, including the five W ' s (Who? What? When? Where? Why?) and an H (How?). After successfully completing this developmental stage, she moves ever upward to the illustrious Yearbook class where slogans of, We love yearbook! can be seen and heard at the most unearthly hours on Saturday night. Here she would struggle against insurmountable odds to complete her thankless task beneath the tottering anvil of ever-present deadlines. Patty Lewis adds a little life to a dehydrated Leslie Ford during a Journalism I mass media project. While contemplating this trauma, a copy of THE CARDINAL WORD is thrust upon her. Scanning the weekly tabloid of student news, she perceives the high quality of material produced. Reluctantly, she begins to fork over the money for Writers ' Works, when the neighboring plot. Photography Gardens, catches her eye. Photo I and II students, along with staff photographers, dwell at this site. These yoimg camera fiends strive for the utmost in quality, while aiding journalists in meeting their publication deadlines.

Thanking his lucky stars, John moves to Renaissance Row. Here, paintings, charcoal drawings, cartoons, sketches, and other artistic endeavors can always be seen in various stages of production. Crafts is an added attraction to Renaissance Row. If a student can fight his way through the dangling macrame, avoid slipping on the spilt papier mache, resist suffocation from stale paint fumes, and still produce beautiful projects, he will be an ideal Crafts pupil. A quick review of Renaissance Row: the paintings, macrame, charcoal drawings, and papier mache all confirm that John has CVAE student Kathi Rucker finds that separating papers is easier with the aid of a collator. hit the jackpot with this card.

Should she acc omplish such feats, she will be able to charge an astronomical rent. And now it ' s Freddie ' s turn again. He is critically short on cash, as he has recently paid his way out of JAIL. He moves his token and lands on Coordinated Vocational Academic Education Avenue (CVAE Ave). Freddie groans in anguish for he knows he cannot afford the exorbitant price Reading the deed, he sinks into despair as he surveys the magnificent qualities which are destined to pass to another player. He ' ll never know the secrets of copy, ditto, and adding machines. Freddie will never discover the mysteries of an automobile ' s intricate mechanisms. He sits back to sulk and Suzy takes her turn.

Suzy ' s mother, who had up to this point been completely oblivious toeverything, suddenly cries out from her place in the audience, Take it sweetheart, take it! Suzy contemplates all of the abilities she can attain at this location. In DE she will learn a business approach for sales, distribution, and marketing of products. The ICT students work for employers in numerous occupations, and this experience makes up a good portion of their education. In a burst of emotion, Suzy grabs it up as her mother cries, ITiat ' s my baby! ' As the precious moments tick by, John restlessly fumbles with his dice. Unexpectedly, the ivory cubes escape from his hands, but fortunately he is saved by a lucky seven. This puts him on Drafting Drive, and he immediately begins to scrutinize the property. Here John can learn the basic skills to become an architect of tomorrow. Students learn about perspectives, drawing floor and electrical plans, exploring industrial and scientific drafting. While his opponents nervously review the benefits of Drafting Drive, John ' seyesstray to Printing Property. Pupils learn to operate offset presses, binding machinery, and other equipment. Graduation programs, the IISD Newsletter, THE CARDINAL WORD, and special activity agendas are included in this department ' s daily activities. John hopes to pick up this holding shortly.

If she owned Library _ane, she could rent books on every subject from an aardvark ' s •espiratory system to the origin of )oetic zephyrs. But if there are no ;ephyrs to be found, one of the lides can be consulted for issistance. Not only do they help in finding these artifacts of knowledge, but library assistants shelve books, compile lists of new material, apply plastic covers to books, and willingly accept the overdue charges from negligent students. Sylvia relaxes as the crowd murmurs approvingly. Freddie precociously moves to Wall Street where the Business Department resides With this purchase, he will secure typing and shorthand skills. Along with this comes the manual dexterity which .Viler checking her Typing I manual, Shardn Danifis cdiitt ' niplate.s the leat ol readiint; tin xclamatio n point with her little finger.

If he succeeds in this area he could go on to take Business Law, Record Keeping, Bookkeeping, Bu.siness Management, Business Math, or Data Processing. All of these courses will definitely give him an advantage over his opponents. If P ' reddie is particularly adept in this field, he might have an opportunity to study on an individual basis in Independent Study. Here he would discover such indispensable knowledge as Real Estate or Advanced Shorthand. Freddie will soon have all the required abilities of a young businessman. In a fortunate move, Suzy lands on Free Parking. (That is, it s free if she doesn ' t knock over the poles while parallel parking). Inthefirst phase of Driver ' s Education, she will patiently study rules and regulations of the road so that she may receive her well-desened permit. Then Suzy will enter the second stage, and practice her driving in a simulated car. After she has learned how to handle an automobile in every situation, whether driving in a blizzard, handling a blowout, or dodging unpredictable pedestrians and bicyclists, she may begin the real thing. Suzy proceeds to actual driving experiences, during the otherwise pleasant summer months. Students attempt to raise the teacher ' s pulse rate with such basic tricks as running red lights and knocking the wheels out of alignment. When this two week struggle is completed she will be ready to hit the roads Suzy doesn ' t hesitate in snatching up tliis piece of property. curriculum 49 0 ot Pass do In a last ditch effort, John sweeps up ROTC Roadway. The price seems a Kttle steep, but the many attributes make the department worthy. Knowing he will get to wear fatigues to school, he envisions himself as a five star general. However, several preliminary phases must first be completed. The enlisted personnel are taught military history, basic drill techniques, basic marksmanship, first aid, map reading, and courses on surviving in no man ' s land. Also available, are the added bonuses of rifle and drill teams that compete in meets throughout the year. With all this, John is sure to develop quite a profitable enterprise. And now Sylvia can further her well-rounded education by landing on Physical Education Place. Here she can break the monotony of academic endeavors by exerting her (sometimes lacking) physical coordination. Activities include archery, tennis, basketball, gymnastics, track, and football among others. Her male counter- parts can participate in such activities as softball, dodgeball, soccer, and volleyball. Side- straddle hop and sit-ups help place flabby muscle tone into tip-top shape. This latest move has all but placed Sylvia in the winners drcle. The battle continues far into the night. Houses are bought, rents soar upward, and the financial stakes are raised with each round. Sylvia gradually wears her three opponents down by forcing mistakes, and as fate would have it, they continually land on her property, draining their money reserves. Her fellow contestants are forced to sell their property to Sylvia at greatly reduced rates, and in some instances give them to her to alleviate the debts owed to this wise and tactical mind. Sylvia ' s sphere of power slowly spreads across the board, giving her a monopoly on the game. Freddie and Suzy are the first to fall by the wayside, as Sylvia engrosses their priceless property. John Jr. is the last to remain a threat, but due to lack of experience, he too falters under the pressure. After four years of toil and minor defeats there remains knowledge, confidence, and success, enabling Sylvia to earn the title of champ. She now embarks on a new voyage, The Game of life. Suzy and Freddie depart in quiet solitude, while John Jr. plans his strategy for next year ' s game, confident of his abilities and self- assured of victory. The fans are obviously pleased with the outcome and plan to attend the victory celebrations at graduation.

Its smooth perfection causes you to assume you are hearing but one long, flowing tone which possesses its own rising and falling emotions. Under closer examinations, however, you find that the symphony consists of many separate notes of varying intensity and duration. Each has its niche in the musician ' s score, and each contributes the essence of its own individual character to the tune. There are passages of the symphony that lodge in your subconscious mind — notes and measures that you recognize as exceptional. Scrutinize the symphony ' s first movement. The clear, stately notes are definite and carefully conceived, creating an aura of academic classicism. Opening this scholarly passage of the MacArthur Symphony was Valedictorian Greg Weisbruch, whose 10.26 grade point average reaped not only bloodshot eyes and writing blisters from late night study sessions, but over 40,000 dollars in scholarships and the privilege of delivering the valecdictory speech at commencement ceremonies. Maintaining the spot of Salutatorian was Amelia Halter, her academic efforts earning a 9.45 grade point and a graduation address concerning prospects for the class ' future. 54 top ten academic WSS; ' ;;iA ' ,f ■i y Wti m •v -,, :r; 7 iii; %, «i rnkW -■«!?! fe. . ■i X ■ M 7C= - L ; Greg Weisbruch top ten academic o5 Ranking third was Ray Puder, with a grade point of 9.11.

As a two year varsity cheerleader, Jan could be found at almost every sports event. Spirit didn ' t stop there for Jan: she served as Freshman Vice- President, and starred in the senior play. Kip ' s athletic achievements merited the distinction of Mr. School Spirit. A four-year member of Mac ' s football squad, he was named All-City lineman for two years and served as the team ' s captain. Baseball was also a full- time involvement for Kip, as he was chosen All City Offensive Player and Sophomore of the Year. A glance at Doug Stover ' s and Carol O ' Teter ' s activity sheets eliminates any doubts as to why they were given the MHS distinction. In four years on the Student Council, Doug served on countless committees and in state and district delegations, as well as carrying out the duties of Vice- President in his Senior year. As . Victor, Doug served as school mascot. Membership in NHS, National Forensic League, CREST staff, and speech and drama events were among his many activities. Miss MHS, Carol O ' Teter ' s dedication was reflected in her participation in dass offices and activities. Serving as Junior Class Treasurer and Senior Class Secretary, Carol helped in the planning of numerous class events. The Student Council benefited for four years from her involvement, and she worked on the production staff of the CREST. inr. and miss school spirit 59 ar t :-rs v . . l U Beth Chamblee, Pam King, Bianca Hemmen 60 outstanding seniors Olinthuctors tUciion As if following the lead of Mr. and Miss MHS, the same lively musical pace and mood is kept in the third movement by the Top Ten Outstanding Seniors. Also chosen by the faculty, the Top Ten are judged according to their extra and co-curricular activities. The 1977 roster includes Beth Chamblee, Lori Schroeder, Greg Weisbruch Pam King, Bianca Hemmen, Greg Weisbruch, Lori Schroeder, Karen Simon, David Scruggs, Judy Bruce, Krissty LaBleu, and Perry Christenberry. Beth Chamblee: Cheerleader, Big Mac Keeper, National Honor Society Secretary, two-year Student Council representative and Senate member — with all those activites, one wonders how Beth still maintained the outgoing personality that won her the titles of Basketball Sweetheart and Homecoming Queen. Pam King: As a Cardette leader and All-State A Cappella Choir member, Pam has learned self- discipline and leadership — basic qualities of a Top Ten Outstanding Senior. She was a soloist in virtually every school musical production and served as a drill team choreographer. Bianca Hemmen: Much of Bianca ' s time and energy was devoted to supporting Mac ' s athletic program, as she was a cheerleader for three years. Expanding her list of honors, she was elected Freshman Class Favorite, Sophomore Reporter, and member of the National Honor Society executive committee. Gb?% Weisbruch: Greg has successfully shattered the Valedictorian stereotypa In addition to ranking first in the Senior dass, Greg found time (heaven only knows where) to join the Irving Swim Team, perform the duties of Senior Class President, and accept the responsibilites (i. , consequences) of CREST Co- Editor-in-Chief. Lori Scbroeder: Involvement in UFETIDES and CREST Co- Editorship occupied most of Lori ' s waking hours. Outside the realm of Room 302, she served as National Honor Society President, belonged to Philosophy Club, and was named Who ' s Who of American High School Students. utstanding seniois 61 jOartatttwa on a ©ijemc Karen Simon: At first glance, it appears that Karen eats, breathes, and hves TENNIS— and does so very well. Karen ' s honors on the court included the All-City and All- District Championships in Girl ' s Singles and she finished with no less than a finals berth in Regional competition. Between matches, however, she was active in Young Life, Key Link, and National Honor Society, and she was elected German Club Vice-President. David Scruggs: In addition to exercising his political interests, David has become involved in many facets of the school through his office of Student tHouncil President. Scruggs was a Latin Club member and, in between his many duties as the student body ' s Chief Executive, wrote a number of sterling features for the 1977 CREST. Judy Bruce: A four-year swim team member, Judy achieved the delicate balance between academics and activites. Although she was involved in Y-Teens, drama, speech, and A Cappella Choir, Judy still secured herself a spot on the Top Ten Academy list. Krissty LaBleu: Workhorse is a one-word description of Krissty. As a Student Senate member, she relentlessly sold fight ribbons, carnations, and dance tickets, and she was forever organizing new committees. Krissty ' s zeal touched Latin Club, Cardettes, CREST, and Philosophy Club as well, and she was elected Sophomore Class President and Junior Vice- President. Perry Christenberry: Student Council Chaplain, Va rsity Track letterman, and Concert Choir member were but a few of Perry ' s titles. Outside MacArthur, he concentrated on church activites such as the Basic Youth Conflicts Conference and the New Hope Singers.

Pay careful attention to the symphony ' s finale. It consists of several different fugues, each contributing its unique characteristic to this last movement. Drama — Mike Pierce: (the one in the tacky t-shirt) With the abundance of talent (and eccentricities) in . Mac ' s Drama Department, it ' s quite an accomplishment to be cited as outstanding. Mike ' s knack for the arts helped him to multiple parts in the Senior Play, a lead in Jabberwock, and the star role of You ' re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. When he wasn ' t on stage, Mike was manning the light-audio system, a task for which he was named Most Valuable Drama Club member. Band— Wendy Jaoobsen: Besides being named to the All-Region Band for three consecutive years, Wendy has maintained her first chair spot in the A Band throughout high school. As Chaplain of the band, the bassoonist was instrumental in organizing the Fellowship of Christian Musicians. Choii — Pam King: Perhaps Pam was named Choir ' s Who ' s Who because her twelve All-R ion, All- State, and Solo .and Ensemble medals and patches won ' t fit on one sweater. An A Cappella Choir officer, Pam has been a soloist in musical productions and Senior Spectaculars for three consecutive years, and she filled in for the absent Barbra Streisand to sing the theme song at the Prom. Photography— Suzan Nyfekr: For three years, Suzan survived the darkroom plagues of hypo hands and lost negatives. She even ventured to the courageous position of Chief Photographer. Without Suzan, the CREST would contain a lot of artwork and white space, and the CARDINAL WORD would be the only photo-less weekly in the North Texas area. Journalism— Lori Scteoeder: Lori served the same term as Suzan, and she lived through similar plagues of deadlines and lost staffers. As CREST Co-Editor-in-Chief, she assisted in writing, typesetting, layout, production, and similar menial tasks, and in her leisure hours, she also contributed poetry and prose to LIFETIDES.Concluding her list of journalistic triumphs, Lori competed in UIL Feature Writing contests, taking first in district, first in regional, and third in the entire state of Texas. Social Studies and Student Council— David- Scruggs: The honor of this double Who ' s Who award was w U-eamed. David illustrated his interest in social studies outside the classroom as well as in, serving as teenage chairman for State Representative Jim Collins ' re-election, an active campaigner for the Ford-Dole ticket, and a member of the Young Republicans of America. Holding the highest student government position of Student Council President, Sponsor Mrs. R na Story credited Scruggs with putting Student Council responsibilities first on his priority r — 1(111 iiuilism who ' s who 65 Susan Vasek — Spanish; Karen Simon — German; Laurie Robinson — Latin; LuAnn Liles— French 66 who ' s who econh ihhlt to ant Latin— Laurie Robinson: Now twice named Latin Who ' s Who and twice elected Latin Club President, the so-called dead language and its extremely hvely organization of supporters have thrived under Laurie ' s leadership. She was Parhamentarian of the National Junior Classical League, and attended their national convention in Florida. French— LuAnn Liles: A fourth- year French student, LuAnn was chosen for other reasons than her A-plus average throughout the subject and her participation in Kay Fuder — Science; Eileen Dickens — English; Ken Lackey — Math French Club activites. Miss Debbie Smith cited LuAnn as very conscientious and talented; a leader in many areas of French. German— Karen Simon: While all her friends were off at the Pizza Hut, Karen was often seen sitting alone munching on bratworst and sipping schnapps in accordance with her cultural interest in the Old Country. Maintaining a four-year interest in German, Karen, as Secretary of the German Club in 1976 and Vice-President in 1977, was responsible for planning club activities. Mrs. Karin McAlister described Karen as a definite asset to the language department. Spanish— Susan Vasek: A junior in Spanish V, Susan tutored first and second year Spanish studenta She participated in a colI e-level fluency course at the University of Dallas and received a Spanish scholarship from the Altrusa Club. English— Eileen Dickens: Readin ' , ' Ritin ' , and ' Rithmetic — judging from her nomination as Enghsh Who ' sWho, Eileen has two of the three R ' s conquered. A four-year STS English student, she demonstrated exceptional ability in writing, literature, and language. Math-Ken Lackey: The third R is Ken ' s domain. He didn ' t stop at Algebra or even Trig, but ranged as far as Analysis and Calculus. Miss Nancy Key described Ken as having one of the very best abstract reasoning abilities that has passed through the math department. Science— Ray Puder: Ray was the only student in MacArthur to take every science course offered. Since the proposed Chemistry II class did not make, Ray found that he had extra time on his hands. To fill the void, he participated in the Texas Junior Science and Engineering Symposium at Austin and won the LTV Engineering Scholarship. who ' s who 67 l|apsahg m I|o Drafting— Larry Dodson: Described as a perfectionist by his classmates, Larry earned many honors in the department through his meticulous work. As if maintaining straight A averages in all his Drafting classes wasn ' t all that was necessary for him to receive the Drafting award, he was also Assistant Designer and Primary Draftsman of the architectural plans for the new homemaking classroom at Travis Junior High. Industrial Arts— Russell Rogers: And the winner is — Russell Rogers! The applause resounded as the Industrial Arts department ' s drafting whiz captured another local award for his prowess with the t-square. In addition to his victories in competition, Russell completed four full classes in architectural drawing and was privileged with opportunities to aid his teachers in classroom instruction. Printing— Chuck Wagnen Chuck discovered the ancient trade as a Junior, and for the next two years he printed everything from Boy Scout Programs and USD Newsletters to invitations for the Fir st Annual Advanced Placement English Picnic. He claimed the office of VICA President and, later in the year, took his skill to district competition, where he placed fifth out of 32 in offset press. ICT— James West: Industrious, cooperative, and trainable were the very appropriate qualities exhibited by James in his two years with the ICT program. Rounding out his qualifications for this award, James received excellent ratings and spent his extra time engaged in ICT Club activities. DE— Ken Ball: Cited very generally by his instructors as a leader since his start in the DE program, Ken was a favorite with his classmates and served as the department ' s Student Council representative. He also aided in a general way with all business- related projects. Boys ' CVAE— Karlan Stiegler: Emerging from beneath a 1957 Chevy, Karlan proudly accepted this revered distinction. Having served as VOCT Treasurer, Karlan took his organizatio nal talents to the district contest. There the Freshman presented his immaculate treasurer ' s notebook and took first place honors in the competition. Girls ' CVAE-Brenda Wood: Continuing the freshman success story in CVAE, Brenda took Who ' s Who in the female segment of the department. Her triumph was based substantially on her success in local competition. There, Brenda received top honors for her overall vocational achievements. v. Larry Dodson— Drafting ' •v. f l Chuck Wagner— Printing A -rv • S , ' James West— ICT who ' s who 69 J. (H. al Jftne Physical Education— Marilyn Hageman and Bruce McClemens: Marilyn and Bruce have conquered everything from balance beams to volleyball nets. Both are leadership-prone students that rated high in physical fitness tests. After completing three years of PE each, both have taken a total of 1,376 showers at the school ' s expense. HERO— Sheria Koch: Students ' efforts in occupationally related organizations often go unnoticed by the public. However, Sheria found her moment in the spotlight when she received the Who ' s Who in HERO. Active both socially and in the classroom for the department, Sheria was a major catalyst in performing HERO- sponsored community projects. Homemaking— Pam Hill: Having amassed five full credits in this field, in addition to serving as secretary and president during her four year membership to FHA, Pam was justly awarded Homemaking ' s top distinction. In light of Pam ' s school and community work, the department has chosen to complete her list of honors by retiring her apron. ROTC— Greg Bowman: Cadet Colonel, Corps of Cadets Commander, All-City Commander, Department of the Army Super Cadet Decoration, two year Rifle Team member, recipient of a four year Navy ROTC scholarship, who ' s he? He ' s Who ' s Who in ROTC, that ' s who. Psychology-Sociology —Troy Arterbury: Troy ' s decision to pursue a major in the study of the little grey cells and the many symposia he attended during the year merited the Psychology- Sociology award. As further testimony to his zeal, Troy dedicated an extra period each day to the subjects, by serving as Mrs. Tracy Youngblood ' s student aide. Business— Julie Like: Julie never griped when ordered to clip her fingernails for typing class. Instead, she shed them quickly, earned six and one half total credits in Business, served as a teacher ' s aide and FSA President, and won the elusive title of MacArthur ' s Miss FSA. Library— Kathy Johnson: Her nose is always in an encyclopedia or periodical, and she spends most of her waking hours strolling between the library ' s towering shelves of literature. No, Kathy is not the valedictorian of her class, just an excellent typist and a dependable library aide, with a good practical knowledge of the systematic cataloguing of books. One musical note, no matter how clear and perfect in pitch, is meaningless. It is the artistic combination of many notes that makes a symphony, and, if you see it in a similar light, the same artistic combination of talents makes an exceptional student.

Upon its completion, man said, This is good. But lonehness prevailed in the halls of the institution, so man created spirit. And he placed the spirit in the people to form a common bond amongst them. Thus the spirited people joined together and took Miss Debbie Daugherty as their sponsor. They elected Dana Davis as the leader and became a club. And the club became known as the Spirit Club. During the first trimester, the barren grounds of MacArthur were yearning for fulfillment. And they were filled, for members created and hung great signs of encouragement in the corridors. Their work led to the awakening of the student body ' s spirit for the upcoming football season. And the members agreed, This is good. Entering the season of football, members felt the need to decorate the lockers of athletes. And so it was done. But difficulties arose, for members sometimes questioned one another, Where on earth is locker 1518? But eventually the adornment of the home of Mr. MHS ' s books had been completed and members felt pleased, for they knew this would create enthusiasm within the players. And this was good. As it came to pass, members wanted to make their identity known at pep rallies. They came bearing signs to spell out SPIRIT CLUB, in full view of all participants. And they were well pleased, for it added to the blossoming morale of the student body. With the close of the first trimester and the beginning of the second, volleyball emerged, requiring support. And so it was granted, for members attended games and on occasions blessed the player ' s lockers with the enlightening red and white. And members again knew their support was improving the spirit of the school. Afterwards, a test upon the Spirit Club ' s dedication arose. And it was the girl ' s and boy ' s basketball teams which subjected them to such trial. For the members had already completed their aid in two sporting seasons, and again they knew their labor was sorely in need. And so it was given, for members appeared at games and cheered wildly for their beloved Cardinals. And thus they were satisfied with the second trimester. And it became known that the club was well pleased with its progress as a spirited people. Such feelings of accomplishment encouraged members to be ultimately spirited for the upcoming baseball season. The dressing rooms were graced with candy and flowing streamers and individual lockers of the illustrious captains were often blessed with fine cakes made by the club ' s own hands. And members regularly attended games and cheered their team on to victory. And this was good, for it kept the fever alive, never letting it lapse. With the end of the school year, the Spirit Club looked with pride upon this work. They gazed back over three trimesters of labor and, though satisfaction glowed warmly within them, they were weary of heart. Assured that all was well with the school, they waited until the halls echoed with silence. And in the fourth trimester, they rested. ' ' iff -JKikK ' vm.

Today, only a few of these glistening circular objects remain. Some, due to overexposure and mismanagement, have become warped with age and have lost the far-reaching range of their younger days. One such crystal ball is known as the Sphere of Spirit in which feelings of pride, loyalty, and devotion are constantly reflected. 1976-1977 was a busy year for the globe which focused chiefly on levents occuring at MacArthur High School. When the antenna is adjusted properly, the crystal ball zooms in on one of the primary sources of this spirit, the Varsity Cheerleaders. Paula Burke, Mona Crews, Bianca Hemmen, Beth Chamblee, Jan Burkhalter, Susan Sweet, and Diane Bonner are often seen vividly on the screen. Using amusing skits, bold colorful posters and resounding yells, they boost any conceivable ebb in morale. Often causing the viewer to wonder if this crystal ball ' s vertical hold has gone haywire, Bianca Hemmen and Paula Burke execute perfect form in a seemingly uncountable number of toe- touches. This crystal ball televises events with an unerring quality in most instances, yet, on specific occasions, such is not the case. The frequency is, for some unknown reason, lost to the viewers sight. After a careful adjustment of the fine tuning, scenes from the past become apparent. Back-tracking to the summer of 1976, images of hard workouts and a camp at East Texas State University are reflected. This year ' s viewing was highlighted by programs similar to many of the modern day television series. These included skits such as Bowling For Tigers and Let ' s Make a De al which were aired to ease the tension prior to an upcoming game. Television networks nationwide have based many shows on these skits, but have continually failed to capture the essence of the original chants and yells. If this threat of plagiarism continues. Sphere of Spirit will have to summon the Better Business Bureau. During a special program, Susan Sweet flashes her ultra-brite smile and acting as a spokesperson for the squad, expresses special thanks to their sponsor, Mrs. Georgia Regelsky. This expression of gratitude was filmed at the Homecoming bonfire where Mrs. Regelsky was ceremoniously presented with a mum, recognizing her dedication. Also under the auspices of this fine lady, four gymnasts and a feathered friend act as stunt persons for the Var.sity squad. Even mild mannered Doug Stover gets into the action as he steps into a phone booth before the game and emerges as the ferocious Victor. At the close of the football season, Victor sheds his feathers and once again becomes a mere mortal, lending his services to the Big Mac Keepers, Holly Davis, Laurie Anderson, Tracey Ross, and Jenice Meagher. The cast exhibits such a wide variety of extraordinary ' acrobatics that even the most discerning eye might wrongly suspect trick photography. Wherever MacArthur s spirit leaders traverse, be it Booster Club meetings on Tuesday nights or mini-pep rallies during lunch, they create enthusiasm. Through the use of the crystal ball, many an unsuspecting observer has been enlightened to their role as the basic source of MacArthurian spirit. Crystal ball viewing was. in the past, a fun-filled amusement. Congregating in small groups, wizards and magicians nibbled pretzels and guzzled ale, mezmorized before the glass globe. Presently however. Zenith. Quasar, Panasonic, and RCA have mass produced their own form of the age old Nice. They ' ve changed its shape, buried it in a genuine walnut-finished simulated plastic cabinet, and filled its esoteric center with the face of Howard Cosell. While the Sphere of Spirit still thrives, the majority of glass globes have long since passed their heyday, replaced in the interest of Technology and the American Dream bv The Tube. varsity cheerleaders and big mac keepers Portraying Tiger bowling pins, Freshman and JV Cheerleaders recover Irom a Cardinal strike during the Irving pep rally skit.

The mystical sphere is fast becoming an endangered species and as a result CBBS (Crystal Ball Broadcasting System) finds itself in a quandary. Should the crystal ball be phased out entirely or should CBBS add to its already highly appreciated selection of enlightening programs? If the network decides to act on the latter option, there are several possibilities which could enable them to stay in business. First on their list of hopeful lifesavers is a star-studded new true- to-life drama starring the MacArthur Freshman Cheerleaders. The pilot would be aired in August soon after the time of their selection. These young ladies easily handle long, hard hours of rehearsals as definite testimony to their professionalism as performers. Strenuously working out during fifth period, Debby Carver, Nancy Campbell, Lisa Davis, Susan Roberts, Renee Garefalos, and Regina Guadagno, could be featured daily practicing their precise movements and glistening smiles. A highlight of the new season would be the Irving pep rally, where the Freshman Cheerleaders pose as bowhng pins in an episode under the direction of the Varsity spirit leaders. Bowling for Tigers delighted both team members and the student body. However, if for any reason this series would not save the network, there exists yet another lifesaving measure which could be taken. Highlighted in this production are Junior Varsity Cheerleaders, a totally new experience for the viewers ' pleasure. These cheerleaders have never existed before this year, therefore no other network could plagiarize this original idea. Barri Murphy commented on the production ' s social worth, saying, Everybody loves to watch cheerleaders in action. In fact, in a recent STjrvey, three out of five viewers watched the cheerleaders more than the game. Midway through the season, a twist in plot development is scheduled for the series. This involves an expose of superstitious practices exercised by these young ladies. This variation would undoubtedly increase the number of viewers. A brilliant idea has been conceived in order to convey this attitude Whenever the girls perform Who are the Cardinals? , the JV adds to their ever- increasing score. However, when they execute the cheer, S-C-0-R-E, a black cloud hovers above the football field. This fog remains despite whole-hearted efforts from Terri Voirin, Shirley Corbett, Susan Rudderow, Connie York, and Leslie Gill to remove it. Even the possession of such time-proven luck producing tokens as special earrings and socks, lack whatever it takes to demolish this plague of bad luck. These shows, with such an extraordinarj- amount of variety and originality could bring CBBS back to the top of the charts, possibly even exceeding the system ' s past success. Since these prime time shows will definitely cause expenses to skyrocket, CBBS will have to program reruns in order to meet these high costs. In this effort to economize, the basketball and baseball seasons will have the basic same set of spirit leaders and operator - procedures for raising spirit level will also be similar. It is predicted, however, that few viewers will complain of the lack of originality exhibited in coverage of baseball and basketball seasons since most intellectual minds have joined the chess team. n t freshman and jv cheerieaders 9 practice akcs perfect Father Time scratched his beard and sighed skeptically, As much as I ' d like to oblige you Miss Willis, there ' s only so much I can do! For one thing, this Daylight Savings Time Program has thrown my whole organization out of whack! But sir, can ' t you comprehend all the things we ' ve got to do in five measley days? Actually it ' s only four, because Friday is performing day. There ' s the pep rally performance to teach the girls, not to mention the field routine which is often highlighted by kicks. Hmmm ... we did a hat and cane routine last week and one with pom-poms at the pep rally. Next week we ' ll do a jazz routine to ' Boogie Fever , and for the game I think a kick routine followed by a splits contagion would be appropriate. Yes, that would be entertaining, agreed the old man in a temporary display of enthusiasm. I must say that I especially liked the shadow routine at the Mesquite game. Ahem, back to my point, what is so difficult about two short simple programs? Your squad did learn a variety of steps in August at the camp given by Riley ' s Dance Studio didn ' t they? You must realize that our routines vary greatly from week to week. Each one contains new and more complicated steps, ranging from the shimmy to various high kicks. Of course, we need time tor daily exercises which enable the girls to stay in proper physical condition. Weren ' t the Cardettes stretching and Umbering up three weeks before school even began? Well yes, but . . . Don ' t you keep them until 5:30 or 6 pm and have dress rehearsals every Thursday night for an undefined period of time? What about homework? cried the outraged Cardette sponsor. Several of my girls must pass government in order to graduate. And I simply will not have any more Cardettes falling asleep in class because they didn ' t get to bed until 4 am! Don ' t you realize it ' s a desperate situation? You ' ve got to do something promptly because the Junior Cardettes are kidnapping their Big Sisters after practice next Thursday. Without extra hours, we ' ll never be able to finish planning skits and writing songs in time. Ah ha! There you go, proving my point again. You manage to get everything done that ' s expected of you and more! You see? It never takes longer than the 24 hours I have already bestowed on you. I fail to see the importance of carrying on this over-used tradition, the now hostile man shouted. They don ' t even treat each other like relatives. Take, for example, the kidnapping last spring that initiated this sisterly nonsense. I ask you, what kind of a sister would wake her sibling at five in the morning and take her out to face the world stripped of any artificial beautifi cation? I must say the disgruntled Juniors did not let their appearances dishearten them, as they stuffed their faces with pancakes and scrambled eggs. I object to that phraseology!

Simple, Miss Pam Willis explained, it establishes a certain amount of unity, which is very important if one wants to accomplish anything. And unity is essential with a group of nearly ninety! Humbug! Frankly Miss Willis, I don ' t see the need for extra time. Last week your girls elaborately decorated the football players ' lockers. The week before, they sold popcorn, jewelry, and stationery to raise money for props. And of course, I realize the importance of using such devices to add variety to the routines. Even if there is a vast array of steps, those pom-poms, canes, scarves, and tambourines attract an infinite amount of attention. Let ' s face it. You ' ve always managed without my help before and I have faith that you can do it again. Therefore, I must end this interview so that I may retire to my chambers. Before you leave, though, I have a complaint to file. Every time you tell those girls to run through the routine ' one more time, ' I feel you are taking my name in vain. The next time you say ' one more time, ' let them go home when it ' s over or I may do something drastic! With an air of disgust about her. Miss Willis replied, So it ' s true what they say about you. You are an unreasonable man. At least Jack Frost can ' t be any less understanding than you ' ve been. The weatherman forecasted snow for the Irving game, and I ' ve simply got to persuade him to postpone it. Even a two hour delay will do, because it s utterly impossible to do the splits in snow- shoes! And if this little discussion doesn ' t work, I ' m going to speak to his mother about his unruly behavior! Oh she ' ll never listen to you! Jack ' s got her belie ingthat he ' s a little angel, retorted the decrepit keeper of timepieces.

Taking measures to the Held House, they bring forward the drum section to play double forte for an afternoon pep rally. Leaders then advance the section to the stadium, where the football game is to occur. Marching onto the field as a segment of half time entertainment, sixteen members perform a routine with newly acquired red and white flags, while the band continues to play. After hours of rehearsing and marching, the first movement receives a First in Division ranking and its eleventh consecutive Sweepstakes Award at UIL marching, concert, and sight reading contests. They receive first place at L.D. Bell in marching competition and win an International Trophy from Mexico for the best in class, division, and contest at the Festival of Palms in McAllen, Texas.

As a reward for their money making endeavors, Social Chairmen Leslie Lankford and Larr ' Dodson plan upcoming parties and band banquet.

If he weren ' t so busy theorizing about the ideal democracy and perfecting the Socratic Method, he would attend the club ' s meetings and functions. However, he might be shocked upon discovering that Philosophy Club members don ' t sit in grassy meadows in the middle of Nature, uttering profound Truths about the Fate of the Universe. The sage ' s confusion would be lessened if he was told that the organization is a group of students interested in local cultural art, Philosophy Club being a mere title. Sponsor Mr. Ken Surber, President Beverly Nachimson, During a Philosophy Club meeting, Sabine Richter and Linda DeSadeleer ponder the possbility of visiting another museum or a local pizza parlor for an upcoming weekend activity. Vice-President Chris Allan, Secretary Cindy Wheeldon, and Treasurer Mitzi Mahoney planned a wide variety of recreation, ranging from museum tours to ping-pong matches. Several activities, such as excursions to the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens and the Kimball Art Museum, would have won Socrates ' approval. The scholar might have even accompanied the club as they viewed An Irish Trilogy performed by the University of Dallas ' Drama Department and attended Hendel ' s Messiah at Highland Park Presbyterian Church. The Philosophy Club ' s agenda also included activities purely for entertainment ' s sake. Breakfast at the International House of Pancakes began members ' Wednesday mornings.

Its population consists of 137 honorary members. The traditional tartan of the race is a blue and gold plaid and their ancient crest is a torch encircled by the letters C, S, L, and S, representing character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Government: The National Honor Society has a unique hierarchy consisting of three honorary chieftains — Miss Nancy Key, Mrs. Sue Kirkpatrick, and Mrs. Betsy McCarty — in addition to a council of members elected annually. Those chosen to lead the clan during MacArthur ' s thirteenth year included: Lori Schroeder, Chief; Laurie Robinson, Assistant to the Chief; Beth Chamblee, Scribe; Amelia Halter, Keeper of the Treasury; and Lee Barton, Keeper of the Book. Bianca Hemmen, Anne Hogue, Suzan Nyfeler, Karen Simon, and Doug Stover made up the Committee of Elders. History: Tradition is a major influence in the history of NHS. The activities of the clan during the period of 1976-1977 illustrate this. Beginning this year, the senior members held a festival at the recreation area known as Fritz Park. Here they enacted such rituals as tossing eggs and bursting balloons, and afterwards, feasted upon fried poultry. The next activity was the traditional induction ceremony. During this process, new sect members, chosen by the chieftains accord to their abilities in scholarship, leadership, character, and service, are formally brought into NHS. This ceremony is highlighted by thesacredriteof the passage of fire from old to new members, signifying the transfer of knowledge and tradition. The customary practice of raising money for frequent festivities was another pastime of the group. The clansmen earned revenue by spending Saturdays painting house numbers on curbs in the MacArthur dominion. Religion: Christian beliefs of the Society can be sited in frequent celebrations of religious holidays. For All Saints Eve, the members assembled to attend a pot-luck covered dish dinner in MacArthur ' s northern banquet hall. To further celebrate the occasion, all competed in traditional games, such as a hunt from castle to castle for various treasures, known in other cultures as a scavenger hunt. Despite the Christian purposeof thegathering, undertones of a more ancient, superstitious religion were evident as members came dressed in the guise of witches, ghosts, scarecrows, and pumpkins. Following the custom of giving, officers and members collected cans of food and silver coins at Christmas to give to needy families through project CHIME.S. This holy day was also celebrated by an ice skating party held at a nearby frozen pond. Forum. 303 Ice Chalet. Afterwards, the sect gathered at a nearby eating establishment for a tribal delicacy called pizza (pronounced peet- sah ). National Honor Society held a banquet on St. Valentine ' s Day. The members donned their best kilts, tartans, and berets for the occasion, and met at Country- Dinner Playhouse where they dined and viewed the plav, NE ' ER GET SMART WITH AN ANGEL In celebration of the holy year ' s end and the beginning of the summer, further e idence of the ancient belief could be seen as all gathered for nature worship and a sunrise breakfast on the sacred shores of Lake Dallas.

REFERENCES: Sergeant Hoise Bell, rifle team coach; Sergeant Roy Burdette, drill team instructor IN 500 WORDS OR LESS, STATE YOUR RIFLE-DRILL EXPERIENCE: As a member of the rifle team, I participated in numerous statewide meets. The team, which sponsored a Thanksgiving Holiday Turkey Shoot, consisted of a varsity and a mixed squad. We were National Rifle Association members and used 16-pound, .22 single shot Remingtons indoors at a 50-foot range. Improvement in rifle range facilities, including two new target carriers, enabled me to have many opportunities for practice. I attended the Small Bore Marksmanship Training Clinic with the team last October, which also aided me in perfecting my shooting technique. We competed in meets at Duncanville, Arlington, Wichita Falls, and Galveston. Our superior accomplishments ranked us fifth in a nine-state area. The drill team also occupied a great deal of my time. We participated in the Texas A M ROTC Day and the US Army Recruiting Command High School Drill Team Competition, in addition to hosting a five-state meet at MacArthur. The squad competed in four categories — detailed inspection, regulation drill, exhibition drill, and individual drill. My team consistently ranked fourth in the district. Since I still have a few words left in my essay allowance, I would like to commend the girls ' drill team. At the state meet in Beaumont, they won three first place trophies in regulation drill, exhibition drill, and inspection, and a second place award for overall excellence.

Usual habitat: Art Department. Presently the Spirit has only revealed itself to a special sect, a uniquely talented group known as Art Club. It took possession of the organization early in the school year and has been steadily at work ever since. Members of the group were forced at brush point by the Spirit to create such artistic endeavors as play programs, goal-post signs, and stage backdrops. Recently, the Spirit has been sighted hovering over many of the club ' s qualified numbers and is frequently observed in connection with one artist in particular, Todd Fagan. Fagan, with the Spirit ' s collaboration, has been sighted participating in outside projects such as designing programs for the Senior Play and the Cardette Banquet and other activities not directly associated with the Art Club. Occasionally, the Spirit has directed him to the Publications Department, where the two have created many artistic triumphs for CREST and LIFETIDES . Both are especially proud of their handiwork on the 1976-77 CREST cover. When questioned as to why the Spirit was so difficult to capture. Art Club sponsors, Mrs. Annie Hall and Mrs. Anna Kirkland, commented on its active schedule. Reports have it that the Spirit has been seen loitering in the vicinity of the auditorium.

This feat may occur in the near future, making the Spirit available to others outside this exceptional organization. Until the apprehension of the mystical apparition occurs, it shall remain in its present obscurity, underneath the paint jars, behind the pottery wheel, lurking in the shadows. 104 art club f Frankie Burget admires her newly acquired frame for her award winning still life In preparation for a weekend taco sale, Don Weaver enhances the Dairj ' Queen decor with the Mexican touch. art dub lOo Kathy Schauffelberger enjoys a typically American hustle after a German Club buffet supper.

One division of this heavenly government, called the Extraterrestrial Office of Cultural Preservation, employs outstanding figures in human history, such as great rulers, legendary heroes, mythical gods, etc., to analyze and file all evidences of nationalism or ethnic enrichment displayed by the planet ' s inhabitants. Entry into one of the EOCP divisions reveals the French and German representatives in leisurely discussion. Did you say something to me? questioned Roland, Prince of the Franks, from across the room. What? Siegfried the Magnificent blinked in coiilusion and then glanced t(;ward his interlocutor. Oh, I ' m sorry, Roland, I didn ' t realize you were lere. I wasjust thinking about how our lives have changed. It seems like only yesterday that 1 was a young warrior in Germany, nobly slaying slimy dragons and rescuing curvaceou s princesses. You know, one of those battles brought me the magic ring and cloak of Tarnhelm, making me invincible. Now, all 1 do is paperwork! He glared at the piles of incomplete reports on his desk. Cultural preservation plans to be approved. Government documents to be reviewed. And this— the MacArthur High School German Club ' s yearly plans. He glanced down the page. Let me see — the year will start with a bowling party, followed by a get-acquainted pancake breakfast. Later, they ' ll take a trip to New Braunfels, Texas, for the annual Oktoberi ' est. In March the election of new officers to replace Melissa Petton as president and Karen Simon as vice-president will take place. They propose to close the year with a banquet. I ' ll suggest Der Rheiningauer Rhaum at European Crossroads to Sponsor Mrs. Karin McAJester. He stamped and sealed the document, and looked over at Roland, who was staring off into space. Roland, are you listening? Roland was deep in thought. Siegfried was right — there had been many changes in their lives. The Prince of France had been no run-of-the-mill-Frenchman. Atone time he had fought under Charlemagne, defending France and her glory, and had lost his life in bloody battle with the Basques. Hmph? Oh, I heard you — they sound like they are interested in promoting the German culture. I have the MacAithur French Club plans here — I wonder if they areas energetic? He reached across his desk and grabbed a thick sheath of papers. Hmmm . . . they will open their activities with a swimming party at Las Colinas Country Club . . .doesn ' t sound ' tresbien tome... oh, here ' s a French cooking class to be taught by a student of the Cordon Bleu Cooking School, and an Easter trip to Canada. Maybe I ' ll ask their sponsor. Miss Debbie Smith, if 1 can tag along! he chuckled. Siegfried regarded him quizzically. Oh, they havea good program for the year. too. But doesn ' t it even bother you that our heroic deeds lie almost forgotten to the world? We gave ou r Hves for our countries and no one even remembers our names!

Mercury, the fabled messenger of the ancient gods of Olympus, dug frantically through the mountain of scrolls and tablets sitting atop his massive desk. I ' ve got to find those Latin Club reports, he murmurred to himself as he scanned the paperwork. Reviewing these files is vital to the extension of Roman customs, and that is my chief responsibility as the Roman god in charge of publicity. Ah! Here they are. Quickly, he grabbed one, unwound it, and relaxed back into his chair. The heading at the top read, MacArthur High School Latin Club: Sponsor— Mrs. Ann Price, President — Laurie Robinson (National Parliamentarian), Vice- President — Jim Davis. Glancing further down the page, he began reading the Ust of club activities planned for the year. A get- acquainted party will begin the year, followed by a Halloween party and a breakfast with the Irving High School Latin Club. Christmas will be celebrated with a party at Llove Entertainment Center and the club again will hold its annual progressive dinner. His mouth began to water and his stomach rumbled like thunder as he began reading about a banquet, the next item on the fist.

Latin Club members will travel to the Old Spaghetti Warehouse to enjoy scrumptious Italian dishes and delectable Caesar salad. Hmmm . . . , Mercury thought as he stroked his beard, It may not be the nectar and ambrosia I ' m used to, but it would provide a pleasant change of pace. Catching his mind wandering away from his duties, he turned his attention back to the scroll. MacArthur ' s noble Romans will also attend two Latin assemblies — the Area C convention in Sherman, Texas, and the state convention in AmarUlo. Members will display their classical talents through various competitions at these cultural gatherings. Ah, Mercury remarked as he came across some impressive information, They will work concessions at their own modem- day Colosseum, Texas Stadium, to help defray some of their expenses. The thought of the delectable items sold in these concessions brought back his earlier voracious hunger. Driven by this urge, he hurriedly scribbled his mark of approval, set the scroll aside, and with the speed of a lightning bolt, dashed to the nearest pizza parlor. Thus proceed the divine offices of the heavenly government. No mortal can escape its verdicts or avoid the outcome of its dictates. Forever shall those from above mold futures, carve destinies, alter fates, and plan fund-raising projects. 108 language clubs IJuring the Latin Club get-acquainted party at Shotgun Sam ' s, Penny Hentley listens attentively Ui Mike Coivin ' s questioning of the check while an oblivious Ken Kirkpatrick dives into the pizza.

The aged man fitted springs, wheels, and screws into their position of use. He inserted the heart and listened for the initial tick signifying life. Satisfied with the birth, he furnished a face and two hands. And with his creation, he gave FHA time to become an active club. Here ended the old man ' s work. The first 59 minutes of the timepiece ' s life passed and sponsors were found to back the club. With the chime ending the first hour, five sponsors — Miss Patsy Parrish, Mrs. Nettie Hamm, Miss Jan Clanton, Mrs. Dorothy Dart, and Mrs. Kathryn Dean — were chosen to aid in organization and guidance of activities. When the short hand was on two and the long hand reached twelve, the clock rang out twice, announcing Kathy Kelley as the president of FHA for the 1976- 77 school year. Christy Connor, Pam Brown, Ruth Harvey, Catherine Cecil, Brenda Cullum, and Sarah Thomas were elected vicepresidents on the stroke of the third hour. The next strokes signaled the fourth and fifth hours. Bill Dieterich was voted to the position of secretary and Sharon Hart was chosen treasurer. All worked together, steadily around the clock, to promote good fortune for themselves and fellow homemakers. In the sixth hour, the clock beckoned members to the school patio for a get-acquainted cook out. All came wearing aprons and clutching spatulas, hoping to stir new members into the club and cook up a successful year. On Halloween night, in the humble abode of Mrs. Nettie Hamm, a masquerade party for the members began as the clock rang out seven times. One couple rolled in as a pair of dice, and various other watches and ghosts hovered in. In the eighth hour, officers and sponsors organized a babysitting seminar for FHA members. Here they were taught first aid methods and techniques of child care. When nine chimes of the timepiece were heard, members were found seated in a circle, sevrnig and stuffing Christmas toys for children at the Denton State School for the handicapped. Gathering in the North Cafeteria, members brought covered dishes of their favorite recipes for the FHA Christmas party as the clock passes into the next segment of time. By the eleventh hour, the food from the Christmas party had settled in their stomachs, and it was decided to take all of the recipes and assemble a cookbook to sell to the public, in order that new utensils might be purchased for the Homemaking Department kitchen. As twelve chimes pealed through the cliiiiing evening air, a new- program, called Encounter, got underway. Through contemplating and answering a series of personal questions, members examined and molded their long range goals through different levels of self-analysis. Following the magical hour, the clock had completed its course, and at last silence fell. Sponsors gathered up the machine of time and took it to the elderlj- clockmaker for repairs, so that he might reassemble the battered collection of rusted springs and tarnished wheels to set the 1977-78 clock ticking. future homemakers of america 115 ark, ii e tmih . . . And lo, the Lord sent an angel on a three. day journey through the promised land of MacArthur High School to discover the spiritual activities of His chosen people. And on the first day of the angel ' s journey, he traveled to the Pieldhouse, finding there a group of energetic students. He spoke unto them, asking what had been given to them. And a man and a woman, known as Coach Fred Pattison and Miss Jan Wilks, stood in their midst and told the angel their title and purpose. They explained they were the sponsors of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a group that confronts athletes and coaches with Christ and informs the general public of His teachings. Miss Jan Wilks introduced the angel to the two divisions of FCA — the girls Cuddle group and the boys Huddle group. Coach Fred Pattison told the angel this was the first year FCA had divided into girls and boys groups. It was explained to the angel that one of the fund raising projects of the year would be picking and selling mistletoe during the Christmas season. As those gathered in the Fieldhouse departed, the angel observed their zeal in telling others about Christ and recorded such evidence for future reference. And this was the end of the first day of his journey. And on the second day of the angel ' s journey he traveled to the home of a Young Life member. MacArthur, Irving, and Nimitz High School students were meeting together in Christian fellowship, singing songs of praise under the leadership of Blair Perkins, a college student. Later he taught the club members Bible principles, and before the evening ' s end they were given opportunities to express their faith through skits. After the meeting, the angel pondered the doctrines the Young Life members had discussed that night, and wrote them down in his holy notebook. And this was the end of the second phase of his journey. And on the third and final day, the angel traveled to the North Cafeteria and beheld a group of students, seated in a circle, listening intently to a young man speak of the Christian Ufe. The participants had their Bibles opened, searching for what lay inside. A bell rang and, following a prayer, they were dismissed. The angel, curious about the meeting, questioned the young man who had spoken so wisely. He was Perry Christenberry, Chaplain of MacArthur ' s chosen people. And he told the angel this meeting. Chapel, was held each Friday morning under the guidance of sponsor, Mrs. Catherine Garling. Perry stated that Chapel was a time for Christians to get together and share with one another what God has done for them. The angel was overwhelmed and hurriedly made note of these spiritual enrichments in his sacred spiral. And this was the third and last day of the angel ' s journey. The angel returned from whence he came, gladdened by the discovery of Christian growth at MacArthur High School and confident the Lord would be pleased with His chosen people at MacArthur High School. yyyj Chaplain Pen-y Christenberry leads a di.sscussion (in a .seleetecl liible pa.ssase cUmnK an early- morning Chapel meeting. 116 religious organizations Sponsor Coach Fred Pattison, Lewis Mogollon, Steve Reynolds, Jeff Wilms, and other FCA members discuss the value of their athletic endeavors to their Christian lives. t - r TTT • TJ f .

Dad, he asks, y would a group of girls go to the trouble of obtaining sponsors, campaigning for new members, and electing officers for an organization? Your first reaction is probably one of unforeseen contingency. Besides, this isn ' t the kind of question your old Home and Family Living teacher told you to expect from your seven year old. To help you keep your parental pride and sanity if this question does arise, two routes are open to you. The first is the apparent one — send him to his mother. If this is not to your liking, another choice is offered. All you need to do is read on. As many great men have discovered in the past, it is best to ansv T questions with examples. Two clubs which you will find handy to use are your Alma Mater ' s Y-Teens and Tri-Hi-Y. Y-Teens is much like the type of club about which your child may inquire. Under the guidance of Sponsors Miss Jan Hahn, Mrs. Janice MacDonald, and Miss Debbie Baty, President Kathy May and her fellow officers (Cindy Burdine, Vice-President; Debbie Mabry, Secretary; Lee Barton, Treasurer; and Jana Bowers, Chaplain) spent hours planning such events as a dance at the Senior Citizens ' Center and a kidnap breakfast honoring new members. Fund raising projects were assembled, including the sales of Tupperware, litter bags, and eggs, but the treasury amassed was soon exhausted on such charities as the CHIMES Christmas project and donations of canned dog and cat food for the Irving Humane Society. Relief from financial bankruptcy was in sight, however, as organization of the annual Ugly Man Pageant was quickly begun. Having been a success in previous years, they found it easy to collect an ample supply of cash to finish the year. Proceeds went to the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, another get-together with the Senior Citizens, various activities for the Irving Foster children, and the annual Y-Teen party atthe end of the year. This may not be knowledge enough to answer your son ' s question, so you will probably desire a second example. The case in mind is MacArthur ' s Tri-Hi-Y, part of the local YMCA . Sales of M M ' s, eggs, and oven-baked delicacies, the collection of litter, and car washes, created the funds needed for President Christy Conner Euid her society (Sarah Thomas, Vice-President; Catherine Abadie, Secretary; Julie Kitchens, Treasurer; and K aren Hart, Sponsor). The girls ' Hst of festivities included swim parties, slumber parties, dances, banquets, and powderpuff football and volleyball games against the Tri-Hi-Y of Irving High School. In addition , the girls were able to do various service projects. Activities ranging from babysitting to preparing gifts for the Foster Children of Irving were carried out. They presented a fashion show for the Britain Way Convalescent Center, and Christmas gifts were collected for delivery to the underpriN-ileged. We all realize that the Earth rotates, that the chicken wanted to reach the other side, and that all must go to school, but your son may still be in the clouds about y a group of girls should expend their energies in ser ' ice of others.

I lived in that big tree with all the rest of those pointy-eared bakers. All day long we made cookies and crackers. Then, at the peak of my career, it happened. I got the salt and sugar mixed up on chocolate cookie day. They didn ' t taste that bad, but Boss Elf (the one that ' s always on television) didn ' t like it one bit, and he fired me. That was on Thursday, August 12, 1976. The next day I left. I heard they were looking for help at the Nabisco plant in Dallas. Of course, that was on Friday, August 13, and everybody knows that no elf should attempt anything associated with thirteen. Well, I got lost and wandered into soniething called a signing party for the 1976 CREST. Everybody was writing away, except for three people sitting in a comer looking rather glum. I walked over to them, thinking they might know the way to Nabisco. I jumped, shouted, and stamped my foot trying to get their attention. They couldn ' t hear me, but I could hear them. The big one. Heard was his name, and he was something called Sponsor, was bemoaning the fact they had no theme for 1977. The one called Weisbruch chirped, What about a theme centered around the meaning of life? The girl, Schroeder was her name, promptly replied, Get real, Greg. I had an idea for them. Since this was to be the thirteenth book, why couldn ' t they center it around Superstition? Using elf power, I hurled the thought to all three. Of course, Weisbruch took credit for having the idea. Then it dawned on me about the number 1-3 and its ominous effects on elves and elf power. But there was no turning back — I had to stay and help these poor mortals through the next several months. The first proof of an elf-power failure occured when part of the staff returned from the SMU Yearbook Workshop with only a second place for their efforts. This was not a big disappointment, but served as a warning to me. Next came the Yearbook Assembly where Weisbruch was to make a sales pitch to the entire student body about increasing the CREST price from nine to ten dollars. He was doing a great job until an unidentified insect began making passes at him. Of course, the audience could not see the bug, but were witness to some unexplainable hand work by the embarrassed editor. The book sold. The money was counted. A sigh of relief was heard throughout— there was enough. Now they had to produce. The staff was eager. The first deadline was three months away — plenty of time to get the copy, pictures, and cover design to Taylor Publishing. Little did Assistant Editor Don Smith realize that the increase in the number of Homecoming pages wa going to just about eat his lunch. He drew his layouts, placed his photo orders, and worked on copy ideas. The day came v,-ixh a roar: thunder. The parade was rained out and the game was lost. Added to this. Smith had to face the fact that the bon-fire pictures were non-existent (due to maladjusted shutter speed, according to the photo staff). Weisbruch suggested giving the four pages to Valedictorian coverage. Schroeder promptly replied. Get real.

The computer, which produced the print for the book, was moved from the print shop to the Publications Department. It was now to be shared with Irving and Nimitz High Schools. This caused little confusion, until a janitor accidentally disposed of the program tapes and left the staffs with no means of producing books or newspapers. New tapes were purchased and it began to look as if progress was about to be made. I sauntered over to the production lab to watch the paste-up crew. This was a lively bunch — cutting and pasting. It really looked like fun until I heard another Don Smith muse, Gosh golly, this copy is fading as fast as I paste it up. Oh, gee whiz, this will never do. Weisbruch promptly came to the rescue, explaining how his mom always washed things in cold water to keep them from fading. Schroeder moaned, Get real, Greg. The year progressed slowly and on May 1, only 203 pages remained to be delivered to the printer by June 6. Supplies became scarce. Tempers flared. Days were counted until graduation. All I could do was watch as Cindy Kemmerly cried over her rejected copy, Tony DeChellis ' smile faded into a grimace, Debbie Robinson kept saying over and over Just one more picture, and Stan Fredrick repeatedly yelled, Fll be right back! k If Copy Editor Anne Hogue will pardon one last cliche, to make a long story short, they did it. Of course, they did, or you wouldn ' t be reading this right now. I thought only CREST would suffer from my power failure. However, I was soon to leam its effects spread throughout the department to sabotage the newspaper, literary magazine, and photography. Into the newspaper office crept my power to disrupt. This was first evident when the year ' s supplies were delivered three weeks late and delayed initial publication. This, of course, did not set well with the entire staff. They groused and grumbled, anxious to become newspaper reporters. In due time, their opportunit - arrived and the presses began to roll. Of course, by this time the journalistic spirit had diminished. Deadlines were missed. Copy was lost. Editors Mark Ridlen and Leigh Fredd began to snarl at the staff and the staff began to bite back. In the production lab, the sports staff set up shop and tried to salvage the disorder. The company of Jones Percle, with Mamey as their printer ' s devil, put words to paper and paper to print. After fifteen minutes of dedicated effort, they were joined by Pete Haveron for a bit of frolic Haveron over- frolicked, sat down on the light board, and broke the glass. While they were picking up the pieces, the three planned the first annual Journalism picnic. All arrangements were made — who was to bring what, where to meet, and directions to the site for stragglers. The day arrived, and it was beautiful. The company of sports arrived at the specified time and waited for the others, who never showed. Three is definitely not a crowd when a picnic is planned. y uV publications 123 Ifiti ®t|cm at Cookies Exepting such gala affairs as this, the routine dilemmas on the home front remained constant. Since both editors worked in the afternoon, the paste- up brigade was left under the auspices of Barbara Bickel, Scott Cardwell, Carol Campbell, Brent Annear, and a few others. Wednesdays were the worst days, since this was the eve of sales. Each week the question was the same, Who ' s going to take the paper to Fort Worth to the printer? I ' ll take it, if you ' ll bake me some cookies, Leigh, salivated Haveron. And, Leslie Lankford usually took the paste-ups to the printer. And, Vince McClenny or Mark Ridlen picked up the saleable product on Thursday mornings. Despite my misguided attempts to help, they still were able to produce 23 editions of the only weekly high school newspaper in North Texas. THE CARDINAL WORD and CREST survived, but it was a touch and go situation with LIFETIDES, the literary magazine. Operating out of a drawer in the journalism office and with a staff of three (or was it four?). Editor-in-Chief, Production Manager, Typesetter, Photographer, Layout Editor Sherrie Hogan worked long hours to meet reoccuring deadlines. One of her staff members was an odd fellow, whom most people referred to as The Grump. This soulful character existed behind a lone desk (rented to him by Weisbruch) and doodled.

The Grump was ably assisted by another artist-type person known as The Dreamer. These two managed to capture the essence of the poetry, prose, and short stories being printed in the book. Hogan did an admirable job. She sold the book for a buck and made a profit for the publication. A glutton for punishment, she will return next year as Editor-in-Chief, Production Manager, Typesetter, Photographer, Layout Editor, and with a staff of at least four (or maybe even five). The Grump, sad to say, griped himself into a barren, desolate spot known as Lubbock. While attempting to help with the writing, production, and art endeavors (to try to make up for what I had done to them), I spied a strange looking creature lurking near the entrance to a darkend room. He had a chalky white color and his eyes bulged. I later learned this was a normal impairment for dedicated photographers, for they constantly remained in the black abyss developing pictures and rarely saw the light of day. 124 publications ' i Editor-in-Chief, Production Manager, Typesetter, Photographer, Layout Editor Sherrie Hogan worked long hours to meet her reoccuring deadlines. 1 y This soulful character (Todd Pagan) existed behind a lone desk vrented to him by Weisbruch) and doodled. % publications i2o otljmg tkt tthieco As I crept near, I heard a shrill voice from inside this room shouting, Brett, can ' t you get anything in focus?

What I thought would be some sort of monster, in reality was aslight, attractive young woman. I later learned she was Suzan Nyfeler, Chief Photographer. Hers was a sad story. She had accepted the job with the understanding she would only assign photo orders, file, and keep the shop running smoothly. Little did she know that she would be forced to assign the photo orders to herself, take the pictures, develop the film, and process the prints. And that was after she had done the filing, mopped the floor, washed the towels, and listened to five editors and one sponsor scream in unison, Where is the school at sunrise negative? Oh, she had help. David Freidberg actually came up on Saturdays and stayed until the wee hours of the morning working on overdue pictures, finding lost negatives, and staging missed assignments.

Upon the day of battle, the tribe assembles to perform their primitive ceremonies, hoping to win favor with the spirits and thus ensure victory. These ceremonies have come to be called Pep Rallies. By Friday of each week, the training and preparations of the warriors have come to a halt. Yet one final chance remains to alter the fate of the team. The plight of these warriors can be changed if they recognize and are thus encouraged by the enthusiasm and support of their people. The holy grounds for the ceremony, restricted to those who believe in the Red and White, fill to capacity for the ritual ' s commencement. The Cardinal tribe roars in praise of their team as the mighty warriors are led in by Chief Carmen Bonner. In their direction of theevent, the medicine women lead the masses through chants and cheers, arousing the emotions of the tribe members. The traditions here are broken, for added to the spectacle are comical skits that enlighten the spirits of the people through mimmicking the opponents. As a motivating element and new addition to each ritual, the cheerleaders award a Stick of Spirit to the caste which assembles the most elaborate display of support. Each sect is destined to obtain possession at least once during the year. Yet, as wisdom, knowledge, and superiority are dominated by the elders of the tribe, so is the stick dominated in possession by the Senior Caste. Under the guidance of the newly formed Kard Kazoo Klub, these elders (and later all sects) utilize posters, masks, whistles, costumes, bubbles, and various other gimmicks to create a fury of spirit never before seen in a Cardinal pep rally.

The people, dressed in theirSunday best, rode on horseback to the meeting hall and danced to the festive music of fiddles and harmonicas. The gala was a success, and over the years, its tradition took root. Perhaps the people named it the Fall Dance. Last November, after MacArthur ' s Homecoming was held and the spirit was high, there was a great celebration. The students, dressed in their Saturday night best, rode by horseless carriage to the girls ' gym and danced to the funky music of keyboards and electric guitars. The gala was a success. And it was called the Fall Dance. The tradition is rather young, for this was only Mac ' s second After- Homecoming-Big-Fall-Dance, but it is strongly upheld because of the difficulties it erases for the band, Cardettes, cheerleaders, and football team. In the past, these people were lucky to be able to make the last half of the Homecoming Dance. By holding it a week after Homecoming game, everyone was able to attend. The Homecoming theme was not forgotten, as the gym ' s north wall bore a harvest of art depicting Freebird (compliments of Todd Fagan). A cornucopia of music, from reggae to slow-dance, was provided by Titus Oates. Record numbers of students Bumped, Hustled, and Robotted to the beat beneath an eye-catching array of lights and red streamers. By the evening ' s end, the only remnants of the celebration were memories and empty paper cups. Long ago, the Fall Dance was a carefully planned and anticipated event on the pioneers ' social calendar . . . welcomed as a cheerful break from mundane corn- huskings and quilting parties.

I have just reached such a moment. My assignment is to describe, using an interesting feature, the various facts and events concerning the Student Council ' s Christmas for Children Project. Try as I have, I cannot invent one single angle to describe how needy children were chosen from J. R. Good and J . O . Schultz elementary schools on the basis of their financial need to participate in this school-wide charitable Christmas party. In fact, 78 of the 83 homerooms participated in entertaining 66 kindergarten, first, second, and third graders. I have valiantly attempted to spice up these facts with wry wit and humor, to treat them lightly and embellish them with satirical, offbeat comments. How miserably I have failed! I wanted to slip in the facts unnoticeably — to tell you, dear reader, how the homerooms collected an average of $30 per child for gifts and refreshments, and that all money came from personal donations by the students. But, hang it all, I have muffed it sadly. Though nearly 1500 people participated in this gala affair, the Student Council members will be especially irate at my poor account of their efforts. Under the direction of President David Scruggs and Sponsor Mrs. Regina Story, schools were contacted for the name, sex, size, and age of each child assigned to a homeroom.

My definite lack of featurization, my blatant misuse of first and second person forms, and my excessively casual tone must certainly evoke your disgust and disdain.

This particular episode took its toll upon the innocents of MacArthur High, a prominent educational edifice within the township of Irving. The school had grown weary and weak with confronting the legendary Jabberwock, a dragon of day-to-day repetition, societal monotony, and bureaucratic boredom. Swords were wilting in combat, and ammunition had long ago grown scarce. The student body seemed doomed. Something must be done, thought Damsel Glenda Ferguson, the famed instructor of the acting art. Beware the Jabberwock, my sons, she cried, as her faithful Drama Club members assembled to discuss emergency methods of decimating the malevolent reptile. It was decided that a stage production would save the day: a play that, through its zaniness and hilarity, would release the suffering community from the biting jaws of Jabberwock. Much preparation for the battle was needed. A difficult, two-story set had to be constructed to include two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen. Lengthy lines were pounded into the memories of cast members, and numerous afternoons sacrificed for rehearsals. This drama, entitled simply Jabberwock, told the unusual story of James Thurber ' s adolescent years as revealed by the half- factual, half- fantastic personal writings of this contemporary American humorist. John McNeely starred as young Jamie. Aiding him in his battle with the beast of boredom were Chuck Wagner, Julie Hilton, and Tammy Warner apply their theatrical makeup before the second act of Jabberwock. Carrie Russey as his girlfriend, Georgiana Littlefield, and Paul Cox, as the eccentric Grandpa Fisher. This ancient character spent half his waking hours in senile reminiscences of his Civil War antics and the other half eating Post Toasties and playing checkers with himself. Other humorous episodes in the play included the forced entr ' into the Thurber household by the nonsensical Keystone Cops and their subsequent search for a ghost. Later, there is much grief in the family at the death of their beloved 1917 Rio, obliterated in a disastrous collision with a streetcar. Instill another touching moment, Mary Agnes Thurber, alias Lisa Hood, revealed to Herman, played by Terry- Smith, that one of their uncles died of the chestnut tree blight and thus shamed the family name forever. Finally, the curtain closed, the crowd roared, and the dragon fell, lifeless to the dust. In addition, a fair treasure exceeding STOO. Nsith which to finance upcoming drama tournaments, was collected in the process. Yet the process was not without casualties. Terry Smith took a vicious tumble from a rafter perch during the opening performance and David Kennerly, playing Dr. Ridgeway, forewarned the accident before the show by descending gracelessly through a faulty ceiling. Expanding the injur,- list further was Mary Agnes Thurber, portrayed by Lisa Hood, and maid Gertie Straub, personified by Jamie Halej Several other cast members received minor injuries, but few complaints were heard as such afflictions were overshadowed by the glon,- of their conquest. The grateful Cardinal community, free of their fire belching burden, was now at peace. drama production 141 Once upon a time, there was a freshman. His name was Stanley. One day he had a great idea. I want to be in Tournament Speech, said Stanley. And he said it again and again. Stanley went to see a speech tournament. There he saw many, many sights. He saw Paul Cox and Donald Mahand win first place in humorous interpretation. He also watched second place winners John McNeely and Kay Kennerly perform The Exercise, a duet. How I wish I could be like them, said Stanley. One day Stanley talked to his speech teacher. She told Stanley that he must try out in order to go to tournaments. Stanley could not decide which event to enter. Should he do an oratory, a poetry or prose cutting, or an extemporaneous speech? He finally decided to read a poetry cutting. Mrs. Karen Framer and Miss Pam Willis, MacArthur ' s speech teachers, coached Stanley. They thought he was very good. They decided to let him go to a tournament. Stanley was so proud! At last the big day arrived. Even though Stanley didn ' t receive an award, he was happy that other members of the squad did. Performers of the one act play, Exit the King, received a fourth place for their performance. Stanley met King Berringer I (Donald Mahand), Queen Marguerite (Carrie Thomas), Queen Marie (Cari Russey), the Doctor (Paul Cox), Juliette (Jamie Haley) and the Guard (John McNeely). Stanley even got to ride home on the bus. He sat behind Lisa Hood, who had placed second in Matt Koke and Lisa Hood perfect their own duet for the approaching Hillcrest Tournament. humorous interpretation. What an honor it was to be on this team! Stanley knew speech tournaments were expensive. He decided to help raise the money needed for props and transportation. He began selling M M ' s to all of his friends. Stanley was happy, because he was doing his part to help. Stanley devoted himself to the team. They worked together and ranked fourth in a state- wide field of seventy-five. Golly, gee, exclaimed Stanley. Maybe someday I can grow up to be just like them. And he did.

The talk in the village is filled with the news of an Ugly Man Pageant that was held at MacArthur High School, and David Reese won! But why would anyone wish to enter an Ugly Man Pageant? Because the pageant was sponsored by the Y-Teens, who used the proceeds as donations for the Dallas County Foster Parent Association. Tell me more, mirror. It all started when the Y-Teens took sixteen volunteers who were willing to be judged in swim wear, evening wear, and talent competition. In the way of aquatic apparel, many of the contestants wore girls ' bathing suits. You should have seen Jim Dykes in his florescent orange one-piece suit, ashestrutted across the stage wearing a wig and high-heeled sandals. And there was Larry Dodson, who dressed as a frog and leaped across the stage. For the evening wear portion of the program, a number of contestants elected to wear womens ' night clothes. Don Smith, who was voted second ugliest in the group, even went as far as dressing Uke Death, in a black hooded suit with lighted yellow eyes. The audience found the variety of talent entertaining. After being interviewed by Master of Ceremonies Paul Cox, David Freidbeig and his motorcycle jumped over seven cars lined up end to end! WOW! Actually, he was on a kiddie bicycle, and the cars were of the ' Hot Wheels ' variety. Mike Phipps did a Shirley Temple routine, curly locks and all. David Reese did a hoola dance, wearing a grass skirt and two coconut shells. But the real crowd thriller was Kip Nelson ' s Elvis Presley impersonation. He donned a gold rhinestone suit and sang four popular Elvis songs. The performance earned him a standing ovation. Who were the other contestants? There was Jimmy Myers, who did a coal miner ' s monologue. Royal Farris amused the crowd with his intentionally terrible impersonations. Todd Mamey dressed up as a cowgirl and sang ' Why don ' t you love me Uke you used to do. ' John Nunley made a cake. A cake? Yes, but instead of mixing the ingredients in a bowl, he poured them on his head! Bill Chamblee recited the words from ' Somewhere Over the Rainbow ' while walking down the yellow brick road. Brent Murphy, better known for his ' Farrah Fawcett ' swim wear, dressed up in a tux and sang like a chicken. Doug Stover sat in a large rocking chair, as he proceeded to do an Edith Ann act. In conclusion, Pete Haveron presented ' Poems Pronounced Perfectly (by Pete). ' Who decided on the winners? The judges were Marion Gutherie, from the YWCA; John Michaels, a disc jockey from radio station KFWD; Sergeant William Maulden from the Irving Police Department, and Tommie Staton filled in for Mayor Dan Matkin, who was unable to attend. That sounds like quite a show ! It was, and the good cause made it all worth while. Incidentally, mirror — could you tell me once more, who is the fairest of them all?

Only in more recent times has the legend been raised from its watei-y obscurity by MacArthur ' s A Capella Choir. The re-creation occurred on March 8, at 7:30 pm in the auditorium. Following performances by the Girl ' s and Concert Choirs, the lights went up and revealed the magnificent backdrop of the Cotton Blossom, designed by the Art Department. Under the supervision of Mr. iJanny Hart and student directors Judy Bruce, Pam King, and Terry Smith, the musical featured such duets as: Why do I Love You? performed by Brenda Weaver and Jim Uykes, It Still Suits Me, with Camellia Sims and Jim Banowsky, and Make Believe sung by Rochelle Ruth and Terry Smith. The various solos throughout the evening enhanced the performance. Laurie Qaytor displayed her talent in Bill.

He permitted me to sink into a deep sleep. For my night, he chose to reveal to me a dream. This vision would center my unconscious mind around a football game— a sport not played by males, but by females. It was to be called a Powderpuff contest at MacArthur High School. The Giver-of-Time permitted two events to occur in my night of dreaming. The first was a contest between the Freshmen and Sophomores, and in the second, the Juniors battled the Seniors. As the dream opened, the fall segment of the year hazily appeared. With my mind ' s eye, I watched Freshmen and Sophomores working out after school for their game. Coached by Mike Windsor, Otto Biesless, Jett Smith, Dean Feldpatch, Mark Murrel, and Craig Reid, the freshmen girls repeatedly ran plays in the crisp autumn temperatures. Meanwhile, the Sophomores capitalized on the wisdom of Lee Byars and Jerry Biggs. Inside the Girls ' Gym, Freshman Cheerleaders Brandell Chamblee, Steve Sullivan, Allen Ripp, and Nick Kovich perfected their smiles and Bianca Hemmen jumps. Between the swirling, clouded picture in my slumber, I caught a glimpse of Sophomore Gary Rausin at home, training his dog to roll over, play dead, and divide three-digit numbers by seven in his attempt to create an ideal mascot. Days of long, strenuous workouts passed. It was now time for the game to begin. Leslie Gill and Lisa Hayes each penetrated end-zone territory to put 12-points on the scoreboard for the Sophomores. Later on, Sharon HiUis made a touchdown for the Freshman Class in their valiant, but unsuccessful, comeback effort. The next event that the Time- Giver allowed me to envision in my sleep was focused on the game between the Juniors and Seniors. Misty visions of a halftime Mr. Legs Contest came to mind as Max Munson, recipient of the first place position, appeared. Runner-up Ricky Percle stood by as Max was presented a rubber doll ' s legs and a bouquet of celery. The JV F ' ield appeared to me. I saw that senior girls were instructed on the field by Gary Shafferman, Pete Haveron, Royal Farris, Donny Hellman, and Mark Pinzel. Soon, I heard the fans roar. The ball was kicked off, and the action began. Early in the game. Seniors Laurie Anderson and Mary Gilligan, together, scored a total of eight points. During a fourth quarter sideline conference, I saw Junior Coaches Todd Marney, Reuben McPherson, David Gray, Mike Jones, Sean Griffin, and Bill McAlister giving careful instructions on their planned power sweep. Thanks to the pulling guard and the halfback crossback fake which drew the middle Linebacker away from the strong side, Linda Gieskie dived over the goal line for the score. Stephanie Milford then followed with two extra points to tie the game as the clock ran down. Time summoned me, once again, to awaken from my slumber and sweep the night ' s sleep away. I didn ' t know whether such a mysterious chain of events ever happened or ever could. A football game; a game not for males, but for females — a Powderpuff Game . . .

LOCATION MacArthur High School, Irving, Texas (typical Earthling setting). LOG DAY 1: Plight and landing are successful. Entered school and noticed a group of underclassmen (conclusion drawn due to their obviously juvenile attire) clutching stuffed animals and licking lollipops. Entered large eating complex to observe sucker and slave sales. Prepared to exit edifice, when sighted an exhibition of miniature flying saucers or, in Earthling lingo, Frisbees. Returned to saucer and retired to a state of somnolence. (NOTE: Childlike appearance and activities of the Earthlings indicate a definite digression in average intelligence since natives were last observed.; LOG DAY 2: Alteration had come to the student body overnight. Encountered obvious signs of maturity making Log Day 1 note obsolete. Seniors donned college t- shirts to indicate their future plans for higher education. As for the underclassmen, I saw groups of two and three apparelled identically. Since all Earthlings look alike anyway, I thought I was suffering from retinal fatigue. Once again, suckesand slave sales were held in the luncheon area. An added attraction was the appeahng array of native desserts and liquid refreshments provided for the Seniors in the large gy mnasium known as the Field House. Returned to the saucer and read Martian Monthly. (NOTE: Confidence in the race ' s intelligence has been partially restored. However, underclassmen still exhibit unexplainable eccentricities.) LOG DAY 3: Woke early to arrive at North Cafeteria in sufficient time to witness apparent symptoms of nostalgia in the form of ducktails and bobby socks reminiscent of the 1950 s. Students contorted their bodies in a ceremony known as a sock hop. Once again, I took special note of the slave and sucker sales. After school, I noticed several white oval- shaped objects being tossed from person to person in a t -pe of competition. When the game ended, I scraped a sample of the projectiles liquid center from the hair of a losing participant. (NOTE: Analysis of the fluid sample revealed it to b ' e a loosely- bound mixture of compounds — egg yolk from a domestic fowl and greasy kid stuff.) spring fever 159 3t ' 0 JV tia Porlh to e LOG DAY 4: Arrived at school and noticed an abundance of students clad in red and white. Others were dressed in their best attire, apparently for the large awards ceremony to be held in the Field House. Wandered out between the Boys ' and Girls ' Gymnasiums where I observed a dilapidated vehicle being demolished. Judged it to be another fund raising pastime of the Earthlings known as a car bash. My evening was spent in attendance of the Red and White Game where a unique brand of brutality known as football was played. Half time entertainment included a group of young ladies performing a dance and kick routine. Returned to saucer. (NOTE: Extensive signs of violence were observed among the natives. Perhaps it was a primitive outlet in response to the stifling heat of the awards assembly.) LOG DAY 5: The last day of my planetary observations started out bewilderingly. These humans were clad in yet another mode of dress — boots, jeans, and large hats depicting the dress of the West. Throughout the day, I heard several references made concerning a Hoedown scheduled to take place that evening. Meanwhile, I enjoyed an afternoon display of water-inflated balloons being hurled through the air. Finally, the Hoedown arrived and was generally acclaimed a foot- stomping success. The West Dallas Cowboys provided the rhythmic melodies necessary for more bodily contortions. Following the party, I returned to the saucer and programmed all of my experiences through the cosmic Reverting back to her childhood, Mrs. Tracy Youngblood explains the psychological impact of life without one ' s hobby horse.

Mr. Clark Kent News Editor THE DAILY PLANET Metropolis, Texas Dear Mr. Kent: It is with deep disillusionment and chagrin that I hereby submit my resignation from the PLANET staff. However, I do not wish to leave without an explanation, so please read on. Eager young journalist that I am, I jumped at the chance to cover something as important as MacArthur ' s Athletic Awards Assembly. I got to the Field House prior to its beginning, pen and notepad in hand and the five W ' s etched in my brain. The assembly started smoothly. The Student Council, representing the student body, presented Mr. Paul Burke with a framed photograph of the school. In recognition of his supporting the Athletics ' Department, he received an honorary letterman ' s plaque. It was revealed he had attended over 800 sports events in his ten years as principal at MacArthur. Great, I thought. There ' s my feature angle. Suddenly, I was hit by a tidal wave of names and team records. By the time I had recorded Donnie Hellman as receiving the Varsity Football Most Valuable Player Citation, Coach Carmen Bonner had named four other awards and Baseball Coach Robert Towery was giving Wes Feeler his Most Awards assistant Krissty LaBleu hands Mike Pierce his certificate for being the Urama Club ' s most valuable member. Outstanding Player ' s Medal. Five W ' s? I couldn ' t even get the first one! (Who announced the volleyball awards, Getter or West?) Also, there was a sea of trophies to be mentioned: state wrestling trophies, district track trophies — I knew I ' d never get them straight. Because I was stOl jotting down Bill Jones and Monte Hall as Most Valuable and Most Outstanding in basketball, I didn ' t get to enjoy the cheers performed by 1977-1978 Big Mac Keepers Gigi Brown, Teresa Kerss, Vicki Prather, Kim Horseman, and Mike O ' Teter. Although I suffered severe writer ' s cramp, I pulled through the assignment. But then, a mere month after my trauma, you gave me the Academic Awards Assembly! While trying to locate the next medal to be given at the avirards assembly, Krissty LaBleu congratulates Judy Bruce for her spot on the Top Ten Academic roster. 162 awards assembly UVJ ' to ' ■ ' i, ' ' With the aid of Jack Lawrence, Mr. Bemie Lloyd repairs a state championship wrestUng trophy while Richard Compton looks on.

I brought a tape recorder, sat back, and enjoyed the assembly. After introducing the Top Ten Academic Seniors, Mr. Burke recognized all scholarship recipients. I was truly amazed by these students ' achievements. For instance, Greg Weisbruch received over $41,000 in scholarships— the largest sum going to any of Mac ' s graduates. The band, choir, and ROTC awards were also acknowledged by Suzan Nyfeler, Judy Bruce, and Lori Schroeder. Sweethearts, Beaus, and Most Outstanding-Most Valuable club members were announced by Doug Stover and David Scruggs. Mrs. Regina Story, who received an engraved pendant in appreciation for her six years of service as vice principal, awarded Who ' s Who honors and named the class favorites. It was Krissty LaBleu who acted as Awards Attendant and gave the certificates and medals to the various winners. Of course, the best was saved for last: Mr. Johnny Heard announced the Top Ten Outstanding Seniors and Mr. and Miss MHS, Doug Stover and Carol O ' Teter. Thus, I was prepared to write a full-page scoop, five W ' s and all. But no — you cut my space to a measley two columns so you could cover your nephew ' s wedding. Substituting a dress description for academic awards! That was the proverbial last straw. Buster. I quit.

Magic waved his wand and, in that mere swoop of his hand, 53 Seniors and one seventh grade boy were transformed into the star performers of the most financially successful Senior Play in five years. With one mighty sweep, Magic was to create Auntie Mame. Because the play ' s profits foot the Senior Prom bill, Magic realized that it was no menial task which lay before him, so he set to work early. Prior to the Christmas holidays, he was sitting in on cast tryouts and blocking rehearsals, aiding directors Mrs. Glenda Ferguson and Mr. Johnny Heard, arid student directors Don Smith, Mikki Goodwin, and Mike Pierce. With theatrical technicalities and the Yuletide break past. Magic decided it was polishing time. First on his list was Jan Burkhalter, whom he transformed into the carefree, high class, frivolous Mame Dennis Bumside Woolsey. In five short weeks of after-school rehearsals, he helped Jan learn 23 scenes ' worth of Unes — a miracle in itself. Thoroughly satisfied with his work, the powers of Magic moved to other cast members. Judy Bruce was turned into the first lady of the American theatre. Bill Brandt became the proprietor of a progressive school which took the shape of a nudist camp. Only Magic could change Pete Haveron into a pig-tailed Chinese servant, Beverly Nachimson into an Irish maid, and Jimmy Myers into a true Southern gentleman. He gave Laurie Anderson, Lisa Hood, and Doug Stover characteristics of beastly, babbity, bourgeois snobs of the Eastern seaboard. Magic invested some of his powers upon Auntie Mame. He so enabled her to perform the miracle of making Krissty LaBleu change from her role as a homely, squeaky-voiced 166 senior play Agnes Gooch to the Queen of Romania. Most phenomenal of his works was in changing the character of Patrick Dennis from a boy (Robbie Bongfeldt) to a man (Greg Weisbruch) — in the middle of a scene, yet! Don ' t think Magic stole the show single-handedly. Innovation and Luck, two of his distant cousins, assisted the entire cast, especially prop manager Perry Christenberry. Luck helped Perry contrive such oddities as roller- skate boxes and fur covered cigarette holders. Innovation kept the play moving despite minor catastrophes involving fallen doors and forgotten cues. However, it was Magic that kept the directors ' sanity as they darkened 86 eyebrows with one make up pencil. And also it was Magic that drew large crowds to all three performances, netting over $2000. Quite pleased with all his results, and only after he was sure Auntie Mame was really top hole, Magic badethe cast farewell, saying, Break a leg.

Sitting at home crying, she wishes that some miracle will provide her with a last minute escort. Then, who should appear but her fairy godmother, and with one wave of her magic wand, the once dateless Jane is transformed into a beautiful princess (one hundred dollar dress and all). With another touch of the wand, she is greeted by a six foot tall, blonde haired, blue- eyed man in arather lavish tuxedo. They fall into each others arms and rush to their waiting limousine. And they danced happily ever after. Unfortunately, the senior class officers were not blessed with a fairy godmother, as they experienced difficulties in making prom arrangements. A single swoop of the elusive wand could have prevented the original prom band, Texas Rose, from splitting up at the last minute. The matter was handled rather efficiently by the officers, who acquired Pyramyd with but a month to go. Only a fairy godmother could have given the Seniors access to the Apparel Mart instead of the much smaller ballroom at the LeBaron Hotel. However, the Art Department filled in for the lacking deity and, under the direction of Mrs. Annie Hall, transformed the room appropriately. One instant poof could have supplied the needed $3200 for expenses, the one thousand dollar band and the ballroom being the primary costs. Still hungry after their pre-Prom feast, Bianca Hemmen and Bill Jones survey the refreshment table for some after-dinner snacks. But the senior class footed the bill by earning over $3400 between their Disco Dance and light show, the Senior Play Auntie Mame, and the amazing assortment of talent displayed in the 1977 Senior Spectacular. Magic could have saved the officers ' travail of preparing ballots for the election of the class song, Evergreen, (sung by Pam King); the theme, We ' ve Only Just Begun; the colors, rainbow; and the flower, rose. Nevertheless, the task was accomplished by the senior class and officers alike, and the Prom did take place on schedule. Fairy godmother or not, the senior class Uved happily ever after. 170 senior prom frz : T Gary Shafferman strolls away from his chauffeur-driven limousine upon arriving at the Chateau II Restaurant.

Time for what? With all the activities taking place at the close of the year, I was totally confused. Could it be time to pick up my cap and gown, or was that last week? Was it already 7:45, the time I had to be at Texas Stadium for the Baccalaureate service? The seemingly endless time I spent standing in line waiting for the procession to begin will always be remembered. Nervousness and heat together made it unusually uncomfortable. Was it finally time for Mrs. Regina Story to begin playing the organ? It was a relief to at last be seated by the ushers, whom I recognized as members of the Junior Class. After the opening prayer from Irving High ' s Valedictorian, Jeff Castleton, and the scripture reading by Weisbruch, the time passed quickly. Nearly 1500 graduates-to-be, along with their families and friends, awaited the message to be delivered by Johnny Jackson, minister of the South MacArthur Church of Christ. His sermon called upon the graduates to perform an act I had been repeatedly cautioned against by encouraging me to dream, and. not only then, but for the ' rest of my Ufe. Minister Jackson challenged each of us to develop and maintain high hopes, ideals, and goals for the future. It was his philosophy that what keeps Americans going is the distance between what they are and what they can be. He told Valedictorian Greg Weisbruch leads Salutatorian Amelia Halter and honor students Ray Puder and Lori Schroeder in their descent to the platform during the Baccalaureate procession. US to become what you have not yet been. I then realized it was time to absorb his words, for the denoument approached.

Emotions, like the tide, rise and fall under the glowing illumination. Moon beams echoing off the earth ' s surface provided a catalyst for the Cardinal attack, as they strivedfor an underlying force to thrust them to the portals of victory. Exhibiting an extreme amount of potential, the Cardinals took on the Austin Reagan Raiders, and provided their fans with a preview of the upcoming season. Turning in 103 yards on the faintly illuminated night, Donny Hellman became the first fullback in Cardinal history to gain more than 100 yards. The fans witnessed a contest that was to be tied up three times before the Raiders were finally able to come up with a shadowy 27-21 victory. Mac now faced the problem of overcoming an opening game loss in preparing for the contest scheduled for the following week. By the light of the full moon, the Redbirds faced Hillcrest, as both teams were looking for their first win of the season. The Panthers took a 13-6 halftime lead, but saw it diminish into a 18-13 Cardinal victory. Mac ' s defense toughened up to hold Hillcrest to a scoreless second half, while the offense came through with 12 points for the win. The moon shone bright on David p{eese as he rolled up 157 yards rushing on 32 carries, and three touchdowns.

At the start of the next confrontation, it looked as though the moon was going to stay hidden behind the clouds, as Mac fell behind Mesquite 14-0 at the end of the first quarter. However, the Cardinals were able to come back and tie the score at halftime, 14-14. The vapors surrounding the moon vanished and Mac put on an impressive second half showing by outscoring the Skeeters 14-3, and posting another win. With their 28- 17 victory, the Cards prepared for next week ' s contest against Highland Park. It was a strange night with nothing but silence and darkness surrounding the stadium. The Scots took an early lead and built it up to 27-0 at halftime. Still, the fans were optimistic knowing the Cardinals had the ability to come from behind. However, the Birds could only manage seven points and suffered a 34-7 defeat as the moonless night hovered over them.

However, neither factor seemed to affect the play of the Redbirds as a friendly moon glowed high above the gridiron. Falling behind 14-7 at halftime with Donny Hellman coming through for the score, the Cards turned in another come from behind performance. The opening kickoff was taken by Mac and punched in for a score. The game was tied at 20-all before Joel Hellman kicked a 26-yard field goal, giving the Cardinals a 23-20 advantage. They were able to sustain this lead and wrap up a decisive victory, which put them in a first place share for district. The first intra-city clash of the year had arrived — a game that would decide the early district leader. Both teams, MacArthur and Nimitz, were undefeated after their first loop encounters. The Cards were flying high after their initial conquest, and were anxious to claim their second. Guided by the full moon ' s intense rays, the Cardinals turned in one of their most balanced performances of the year. Leading the way, receiver Joel Hellman snared two touchdown passes and recovered a fumble in the end zone for final points and a winning score of 28-2 1. With two district victories, the Redbirds were now ready for their next opponent, Duncanville — a team that had been selected as one of the preseason favorites. Homecoming night proved to be a stumbling block for the Cards as they suffered their first district loss t(j the Panthers. Beneath the feeble and uninspiring light of a crescent moon, the Cardinal offense had difficulty scoring. Still, Mac ' s defense kept the team in the game with excellent play once the Panthers approached the Card goal line; Duncanville could only muster two touchdowns against the scrappy Redbird defense. MacArthur ' s only points were produced on a pass play from Eddie Meadows to Joel Hellman with 43 seconds remaining in the game. The final score was Duncanville 14, Mac 6. The Cardinals now faced a laborious task in their fight for the district crown. Moon beams shone brilliantly on the Gopher Bowl, arousing the fans and motivating the team in its quest for another Wcton. . The Grand Prairie Gophers proved to be more of a match than their U-4 district record indicated. With perserverence, MacArthurs red- clad team fought back fearlessly throughout the contest. Grand Prairie was leading the Cards 16-13 with 2:17 remaining in the game. MacArthur had the ball on the Gopher 45-yard line when the strange nocturnal powers stimulated the Birds toward last minute heroics. Driving quickly downfield, Mac took the ball to the Gopher 23 for a first down. On the second play.

R.L. Turner presented the next obstacle in Mac ' s struggle for the crown. As the earth ' s satellite shone radiantly upon the grounds of Irving Schools Stadium, the Cards won the game 26-0. Outstanding play from the defense included Bill McAlister ' s 26 tackles and Mike Jones ' blocked punt and subsequent safety. With another victory and only one game remaining, the Cardinals were now in a position to easily snatch the loop title. The district championship was on the line as the Redbirds faced their arch rivals, the Irving Tigers. The game was played with near freezing temperatures and an icy wind that whipped mercilessly through the stadium— a chilling omen of what was about to occur. Although they fought back relentlessly, the Cards were simply overpowered by the larger Tiger squad, losing the game 31-14. The Birds saw their dreams of a title fade into the darkness of the moonless night as they ended the season wdth a heartbreaking loss. Although the Cardinals failed to obtain their ultimate goal by capturing the district crown, they did surprise the oddsmakers with their comeback capacity. Bathed in a perpetual glow of lunar light, the red-clad warriors seemed driven by some distant force — the same force that enabled each running back to sense the goal line, that made every linebacker long for the feel of impact — a celestial body that moved the oceans and mobilized men.

Incense drifted from comer to comer giving the atmosphere a hint of uncertainty. The only tinge of light was produced by a glowing candle on a dusty table in the center of the room. A misty haze hovered over the table, yet through the dimness could be seen five cards, each giving its own significant account of the 1976 season for the Cardinal Junior Varsity Football Team. As the haze dissipated over the first card, the sign of Conquest was revealed. It instilled within the JV team a sense of triumph as they began the season with an impressive 14-7 victory over heavily favored Irving High. It looked as though the Cardinal team was destined for a season of success, but alas, the card of Hardship was turned and Mac fell to its next three opponents. Hillcrest barely slipped by the Birds with a score of 23-21, kicking a field goal in the last few minutes of the ball game. The effects of Hardship Lingered as the Red Birds came up against Mesquite, consequently returning home with an 18-16 loss. The following week, the Cardinal team journeyed to Highland Park only to suffer a 28-6 defeat from the Scotties. Even though the Birds were subdued three consecutive times, they remained unbroken. While they held fast to their pride, the card of Strength emerged from the ethereal gloom revealing a long awaited victory for the Cardinal crew. Upon the battle grounds of South Grand Prairie, they mustered their strongest attack of the year, snatching a 24-7 victory from a scrappy Warrior club. Many marked the game as a turning point, and expectations soared for a successful last half of the season. But again, such ill-fated hopes were dashed as the card of Sorrow came to light. Burdened under this oppressive portent, the squad dropped four of their last five games. Only through aheartening 6-6 tie with Duncanville could the Cards escape momentarily from Sorrow ' s grip. Thus the season came to a close, and yet, upon the table one last card remained unturned. As it was exposed, the room seemed to glow with magnificence, the haze cleared and the aroma of incense dispelled. The curtains became motionless as traces of light were cast through the window. L ing alone on the table was the card of Exaltation. Gleaming in the golden dawn, it stood as a symbol of ancient struggles and ends achieved — of the fevered dance of the victorious. It whispered like an icy breeze of laurels that lay ahead. Greg Schultz (12) mans the helm as offensive linemen.

Just as he reached the 35 yard line, the safety tackled him from the front, while the defensive halfback closed in from the right side. The young quarterback rolled to the ground and rose clutching his injured shoulder. He was through fortheyear, a victimof the dark and sinister hand of Fate. This was only the beginning of a rash of mysterious injuries destined to plague the Cardinal Freshman Football Team. Especially hard hit were the defensive line positions, where three starters were out of the action at various times during the season. Tackle Larry Allen was lost for the season due to a broken knuckle suffered in practice. Defensive lineman Alan Ripp had ankle and neck injuries which kept him out for two games, while Robert Pierce, another lineman, pulled time on the bench because of a fractured thumb. Of those linemen lucky enough to escape injury on the field, one still could not escape the powerful grasp of the Inevitable. Tackle Arnold Tucker was sidelined for several weeks after undergoing a midseason appendectomy. Thus, the fate of the Redbirds was left largely in the hands of the less experienced players. The Cards were lucky, however, in that one of these reserves was ready to step in and do the job at the quarterback position. Otto Bielss, in filling Smith ' s shoes at quarterback, breathed life into a team which seemed doomed to destruction by injuries and inexperience. After a 27-13 season opening loss to Irving, the Cards destroyed Mesquite 22-0. They could manage only ties against Running back Dean Feldpausch (46) finds himself in the arms of a defender after running a successful sweep around the end. Duncanville and South Grand Prairie, however, and lost to the Nimitz Vikings by a score of 207. Then, with Bielss at the helm, the team pulled together with a 21-12 victory over the Duncanville team they had managed only to tie three weeks previously. Fate provided the real test for the freshman footballers thenext week as the Gophers came to town. Sporting a 6-0 record, they were considered by some to be the best Grand Prairie team ever fielded. Despite their past success, the Gophers were turned away by the big play passing of Bielss, clutch catches by Darrin Furbush, and what Coach Kupper called a good, four-quarter ball game by the defense. Terry Truett ' s one-yard plunge late in the fourth quarter sealed Grand Prairie ' s doom, 28-21. After conquering Bedford 27-20 a week later, prospects of a winning season loomed within reach of the 4-2-2 Cardinals. They looked ahead to the Nimitz and Irving games, the two most important of the year, according to Coach Kupper. Despite a strong defensive effort, the crimson crew could not overcome the preordained outcome, as they suffered a 16-6 defeat at the hands of the Vikings. But all was not lost; the club still hoped to salvage a winning season by defeating Irving during the season ' s final week. It was not meant to be, however, as the Tigers exploited the inexperienced Cardinal defense, moving the ball well both by land and air. The explosive Cardinal offense ground out yardage, but could not get the ball across the goal line often enough as the Cards were disappointed 36-16. Hence, the Freshmen finished at 4-4-2. They played an uncommon brand of ball, successfully utilizing the pass, which is highly unusual among the high school ranks. Despite injuries and bad breaks which cost the team, they showed poise in trying situations. The young Cardinals refused to fold beneath the burden of the Inevitable each player shouldered throughout the season. But while the fighting Cardinal spirit was hindered, even Fate had to sit back and scratch his scraggly beard, puzzled at what a stubborn and imconquerable little creature the Redbird could be. 188 freshman football mLi In the victory over Grand Prairit, (Cardinal split end 15illy IJeanfWJ) prepares to make theratch as he looks upfield for running room.

Uncertain of the odds faced, he was forced to bet heavily on the performances of Mike Heinle, Monte Hall, and Bill Jones. By backing this threesome with the capabilities of guards Kurt Cameron and Keith Dilling, and the abilities of Junior Randy Brown and Sophomore Steve Byrd, Coach Milford rolled up what he hoped to be a winning combination. The non-district season proved to be impredictable as Coach Milford tossed the ivory. While the Cards failed to defeat state-ranked teams from Arlington High and Dallas Roosevelt, they did overcome 1976 state AAA runner-up Waxahachie and District 10-AAAA favorite Richardson Pearce. Some of Mac ' s best pre-season play came in the Irving High School Invitational Tournament. Stakes were high, as defending champ Thomas Jefferson provided opening round opposition. Though the odds makers were skeptical, the Redbirds washed the Patriots, 61- 47, behind the 30-point output of Monte Hall and the 15-point performance by Bill Jones.

Next to move into position at the gambling board were the Nimitz Vikings. Along with three year starter Audrey Trigg, they forced the Cards to bet hard ways and come up with their first seasonal loss, 55-61. In their following loop clash, the Cardinals played conservatively, and the dice tumbled their way in a 58-47 downing of R .L .Turner. The Redbirds had total command of the game, as the Lions were never able to gain control of the throw. The Cards were now set to take on all comers at the dice table.

One associates lack of noise with transcendental meditation, libraries, and broken stereos. However, superstition has it that complete noiselessness signifies the coming of change, acting like an omen of what the future may hold. Such a premonition was experienced by the Cardinal Junior Varsity basketball team in 9 of their 19 losses. Although the Cards often dominated the first three quarters of play, a mysterious and sudden silence would hover over the gymna sium. The ominous effect would begin to take hold, and the Mac roundballers watched their lead diminish to a disappointing loss. Undaunted, the Redbirds fought back relentlessly against this driving force of nature. Fans felt that the Cardinals were destined for a year of nothing but misfortune.

The fortune of MacArthur ' s freshman basketball team was determined by the celestial alignment of the planet Jupiter. Located in its first house, as it was throughout the season, Jupiter exerted its favorable forces on the untapped potential of man. Playing under the guidance of Jupiter has been known to produce team athletes. First year Coach Dan Kupper stated, We have no individuals on the team; we play together. Jupiter, legendary ruler of the planets, produced two segments of this year ' s club. Coach Kupper led his A and B teams to a 21 and 21 combined record. The first string finished with a 13-11 record, while the B squad completed an 8-10 season. Coach Kupper dted Varsity Coach Tom Milford for helping the young Cards daily before school. The A team played consistently throughout the year. Undertheguidanceof Jupiter, they never lost more than two consecutive games. Highlighting their season were third place finishes in the Hutchinson and Irving tournaments. One of their most exciting contests was a mid- season overtime victory against arch-rival Nimitz, 58-56. The two-squad plan provided the young cagers with ample playing time. Extra minutes logged on the court helped the Cards gain valuable experience needed for the coming years. According to Coach Kupper, stalwarts in the club included high scorers Ruben Duron, Terry Truett, and Eddy Meenach on the A team; and Bobby Burd, Bob Fowler, and Chris McDougal on the B team. Summing up the group as a whole, the coach commented, We went out there to ha ve a good ti me and to play good basketball. The boys really hustled and played hard. Competing under the house of Jupiter, the Cardinal freshman basketball team was prompted to play with togetherness. Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, guided the Cards to a successful season.

At the conclusion of their last preseason practice session, a small, black figure darted across the track. No one paid any attention to it— it was only a harmless cat. Ominous signs began to materialize as the tracksters met at Irving Schools Stadium for their first competition, the annual Airlane Relays. Placing for MacArthur were David Black, with a fourth in the 120 yard high hurdles; Kyle Smith, who took second in the mile run; and Joe Eilers, who captured first in the two mile run.

Kyle Smith led the team and came through with a second place finish. Fortune shone on Smith thig year, while the remainder of the team was hindered by the curse. The next test awaiting the Cardinals was the District 9-AAAA meet. The Redbirds went to ISS ready to break the curse brought upon them by the dark feline. Team effort proved to be the best of the year, as they accumulated 29 points at the meet. Mike O ' Teter placed sixth in discus, the mile relay team (Benny Ramos, Perry Christenberry, David £ilack, Keith Lackey) took a fifth and the 440 yard relay (Perry Christenberry, Carey Christenberry, Benny Ramos, and Barry Thomas) obtained sixth position. David Black captured fourth in the 120 yard high hurdles and sixth in the 330 yard intermediate hurdles. Fifth place in the 440 yard dash went to Perry Christenberry, and Kyle Smith acquired the gold medal in the mile run. When the meet had ended, Smith had qualified for the regional meet in Denton. However, the curse overtook him and squelched his attempted ascent to the state meet. Mac ' s cross country team (Kyle Smith, Joe Eilers, Brent Murphy, Benny Ramos, and Scott McAlister) won the District Championship. They saw neither a black cat nor any other symbol of bad luck during their conquest for the title. Edging out South Grand Prairie by a point, the fleet-footed runners were not shadowed with any form of a curse. With the season ' s close, many questions arise: Did the team truly suffer the malevolent effects of an ancient jinx or did their great quantity of individual successes disprove this unscientific assumption? Is there a plausible hypothesis to account for loss as well as a vast amount of personal progress? It may be that the answer lies hidden among the mysteries surrounding the dark form, silhouetted against the crescent moon, that pads silently down O ' Conner Road toward Irving High School.

Only four returning starters graced the roster — Kip Nelson, Eddie Meadows, Jim Thomason, and Mark Stafford. Senior Glen Pierce returned to action late in the year, after recovering from off-season arm surgery. The hardballers opened their quest for prey successfully with a 10-4 victory over the Pearce Mustangs. Wes Feeler, Jim Thomason, and David Reese each cracked home runs, while pitcher Mark Stafford picked up his first win of the season. Denton was the next opponent and the Cards managed to split a doubleheader with the Broncs. Clutch hitting led the Cards to a 3-0 win as they landed heavily on the unsuspecting Paschal High School. The victory was followed by consecutive losses to Kimball, 9- 7, and to R. L. Turner, 10-0. The Cardinals then traveled to Duncanville to face the two-time state champs.

Looking for revenge against Grand Prairie, the Cardinals collected eleven hits and four runs, including a three-hit performance by catcher Don Smith. But the Gophers were not to be conquered, as Mac suffered their first major pitching letdown of the year and fell, 8-4. With their final game against Irving, the Cards failed to cross the plate and lost by a narrow margin, 1-0.

As the hand unfolds completely, its creases reveal the Arlington tournament. With outstanding performances in both singles and doubles events, Mac brought home a first place victory. As another line is examined, the District confrontation is extracted. In this meet, many team points were compiled by Captain Karen Simon, who won the first place district spot in girls ' singles, and Pete Azcona, who received a fourth place in boys ' singles. In doubles competition, Sharon Murphy and Joanna Gerlach won the district title for the girls and Kyle Coffey and Kris Howell placed third.

Golf clubs differ from a three-wood to a nine iron, no t to mention the variety of materials of which golf balls can be made. A golfer could play a shot anywhere from foot-high grass to a finely manicured putting green. Tourneys take place in weather as rough as any mailman would dare to brave. Despite these conditions, the award winning play of the MacArthur golf team never changed. The continuous thrust of Coach Coy Williams ' troops earned them a position among the top three competing teams in seven of the twelve tournaments they entered. Not long into the season, the golfers collected a third place finish in the Woodhaven Classic. The Cards ' clubs were hot, as they collected a second place trophy at the Irving Public Schools Classic. Conquering the greens at Lamar High School, they took their only first place finish of the year. But the Cardinals never lost their regularity as they took second out of eight teams at the Highland Park Invitational. Placing again, Mac finished second in both the Irving Public Schools and the Arlington Heights Spring Classics to prepare themselves for the all- important district tournament. Consistency again prevailed as the Birds took second honors in district behind Irving. This entitled them to a berth in the regional shootout where Mac ' s golfers sought revenge on the Tigers.

Overeating is a major problem in our society, but there are a limited few who are extremely conscious of the meter ' s reading on their bathroom scales. That elite group includes the 1976-1977 MacArthur Wrestling team. Striving to achieve their appointed weight and stay within their division, the Card grapplers have been known to fast for several days, denying themselves the luxury of wincing and dining in order to insure a topflight performance on the mats. Starting out the year with new head coach, David Manning, the Cards looked forward to a successful season. The team ' s preseason record included match wins over South Grand Prairie and Jesuit, and a second-place finish in the Irving tournament. Working into top shape, the Cardinal squad was ready for the conference meet. The Birds rolled up 171 ' 2 points to take first place in the conference. Five Mac matmen proceeded to state competition at Richardson Berkner High School. Heading the list of state qualifiers were the four steadiest wrestlers on the team; Alan Pittman, at 122 pounds; Steve New, weighing in at 150; and brothers Jack and Vic Lawrence, in the 129 and 170 pound weight divisions. First year Wrestler Richard Compton also qualified for the state tournament in the heavyweight class. The elite of the high school wrestlers trained for the final and most important match of the year. The best grapplers in the state of Texas gathered in Richardson to decide the champion in each division. Mac ' s five competitors came home from the state meet with four gold medals. As a team the Cardinal squad finished second in the state. Hard work, self-denial, and an inordinate amount of dedication are accepted as necessary to achieve highest honors in Texas high school wrestling. MacArthur ' s four state winners, Alan Pittman, Steve New, Jack Lawrence, and Vic Lawrence, apparently fulfilled these requirements in their journey to the top. These four wrestlers, along with the rest of the Cardinal team, ran the extra miles and lifted the extra weights that turn an ordinary wrestler into an outstanding one. In addition, they chose to forego one of the everyday pleasures of life and isolate themselves from the sugar- slurping, French fi-y gulping society of American heavyweights. Fasting to reach their peak of fitness, the Mac team turned in an outstanding year, winning the highest honor of any team in the school ' s history.

ITie MacArthur Rodeo Team realizes the advantages of engaging in a sport where one finds such an important lucky charm — the horseshoe. Its influence was evidenced by the numerous auspicious happenings surrounding the rodeo team this year. Three-year lettermen Marty Myers and Bubba Thetford were fortunate enough to rank in the top 15 riders in North Texas in the chute dogging competition. The horseshoe ' s magic effect was made apparent as Chuck Baker and David Terry both ranked high in bull riding. The girls were not to be outdone as Sheria Koch, the reigning North Texas High School Rodeo Association Queen, and Mary Deardorf relied on the horseshoe ' s strength to place in Texas ' tfjp 15 for breakaway roping, goat tying, and steer undeco rating. The lucky horseshoe reached the height of its power at the North .side High School rodeo, an event that marked the year ' s pinnacle of success. Sheria Koch was named the Best All- Around Cowgirl after placing second in both steer undecorating and breakaway roping while teammate Marty Myers placed first in chute dogging and fifth in steer wTestling. Mary Deardorf also came under the horseshoe ' s mystic influence as she placed fifth in goat tjing and sixth ' in steer undecorating. As Cardinal cowpunchers sprang from the chutes into various arenas of competition, their traditional success was again exemplified throughout the 1977 season. As in years past, many of their laurels could be attributed to the luck-laden energy emitted from that roughly crafted piece of cast iron nailed to the wooden fence, the latest in barnyard footwear — the horseshoe.

Lewisville and Trinity were the most prominent sites of competition ' for this year ' s team. MacArthur pulled a second place ranking out of the water against five other schools in the Lewisville meet. Swimming with the current, Gina Gaskin placed first in both the 100 yard free style and 200 yard medley. In addition, Judy Bruce placed third in the 200 yard free and second in the 500 yard free. Judy and Gina then combined efforts, along with Celeste Coronado and Rosie Trego, to collect third place ribbons in the 200 yard medley relay. The boys provided a powerful undertow in their battle for team points. John Ackerman received a third in the 200 yard free style and Pat McKinney placed second in the 500 yard freestyle. Marty Giesecke then strained gold from sea water to obtain first place medals in both the 100 yard fly and the 200 yard medley. The boys ' relay team also boasted conquests in two events. John Ackerman, Pat McKinney, Marty Giesecke, and Mike Owens sliced through the waves to grab first in the 200 yard medley. The successful group then replaced Ackerman with Stan Fredrick and placed second in the 400 free. The second important meet of the year was the Trinity High School Invitational. Contributing to the team ' s tidal flow toward success, Gina Gaskin grabbed gold in the 100 yard free and the 200 yard medley. Marty Giesecke held his own with a first in the 100 yard breast stroke consolation finals and a fifth in the 200 yard medley. The Trinity contest also saw many qualifying times recorded for the upcoming regional meet. In addition to Gaskins and Giesecke ' s individual efforts, the relay teams of Owens, McKinney, Ackerman, and Giesecke; and Bruce, Trego, Coronado, and Gaskin received times ehgible for regional competition in the 200 yard medley relay.

Success was quick in coming to the female ranks, but recognition has been slow to arrive. Playing in the shadow of the famed male crew diminished the flow of accolades directed toward the girls. The feminine Cards opened the season lacking experience and possessing few returning starters, but when the final results were tallied they finished with a second place in district behind a veteran R.

Well, I was just about ready to close the book when I turned to girls ' track pages and found the most beautiful double page spread I had ever beheld. It looked like something that belonged in LIFE Magazine. The pictures grabbed my eye and the copy was so interesting that I became totally immersed in it. In this finely woven tapestry of feature and fact, this talented journalist described different meets that took place. I could plainly envision the Burleson Relays, where Debbie Spatz recefVed second places in the 880 yard run and mile. She was followed closely, in the latter event, by Teressa Willoughby who took third place. I read on about Susan Shipp ' s success in the field events. She compiled large numbers of team points, taking second honors in dicus and fourth in the shot put.

In the field events Susan Shipp once again took fourth place in the shot and second in the discus. Sharon Baughman grabbed sixth in the shot put and Jean Spice received fourth place in the triple jiunp. I then read the journalist ' s story of the final event of the season — the district meet which took place in South Grand Prairie. It seemed as though the ace staffer had kept his most fluid prose for last as he described this most important contest. I could actually see Debbie Spatz striding across the finish line to take first place in the mile, while Teressa Willoughby and Gigi Brown followed seconds later to the second and fourth spots in this event. Susan Shipp continued her list of successes, placing third in both the discus and shot put. Sharon Baughman then snatched second in the shot put while Jean Spice took sixth in the triple jump. I had to admit, it was the best copy I ' d ever read. It was factual yet featuristic, lengthy yet interesting.

Sages and learned men from all over the world held closed-door meetings but came up short of an explanation for the phenomenon. Moslems and Shintos proclaimed it a sign from above. A new celestial body had appeared in the heavens. Scholars, world leaders, and sports fans followed it from afar. They came in solemn procession, anxious to learn the meaning of the star ' s appearance. Finally, they arrived at the place where the orb ' s gentle rays shown in greatest glory. The scholars were disappointed and the world leaders were peeved, but the sports fans were ecstatic. There, nestled in a rural field house with a group of MacArthur students crowding close around, a new sport was born — Volleyball. Actually, this is not completely true, for the MacArthur Volleyball Team has had a long history with the school. However, to many members of the student body, common knowledge of the sport ' s existence had just been born in 1977. Due to the extensive efforts of first year Coach Becky Getter and the team ' s year long Support Volleyball! campaign, the group began to receive the recognition they had sought for years. The girls talked about their games in class and decorated each other ' s lockers before important games. Soon such names as Sharlotte Baughman, Donna Chambers, Renell Land, and Jana Ogle became common in sports- related conversation. In addition, Bunny Crable, Jamie Kerbow, Martha Peterson, and Susan Walker were heralded for their exploits on the court. The efforts to make volleyball a household word were somewhat hindered by the season ' s record. The JV was 4-16 and the Varsity |ii.L-,; was 1-19. Their only conquest was over South Grand Prairie, 15-10 and 15-8. Carrie Sloat and Co- Captains Laurie Robinson and Kim Brewer were cited by Coach Getter for their outstanding play in the Cards ' triumph over the Warriors. Despite disappointments on the court, the group had made a name for themselves. Their rebirth was complete, and the star began to fade away for its purpose had expired. The Volleyball Team was destined to attract its own curious observers without the celestial body ' s radiant beams.

The need for a girls ' basketball program was always there, but with no object on which to exert her powers, the damsel stubbornly remained in a state of slumber. With the thirteenth year and the reality of a girls ' basketball team in the works, the maiden suddenly awakened, and the initial campaign was soon underway. The girls were greeted harshly in their contests with area freshman teams. The enthusiasm generated by the lady of competition did not give the players the skills necessary to emerge victoriously. Consequently, the young team failed to win a game all season. Girls ' basketball Coach Patty Ramsey discounted the possibility that the year ' s scoreboard results might have caused the team to lose the newly-revived competitive spirit. In fact, Coach Ramsey described the season as highly successful due to the vast improvements made from the season ' s beginning to its end. She cited the team ' s height, including 5 ' 11 forward Sally Porter and 5 ' H guard Jacque Mosely, as an important plus. She felt that this, along with the leaping ability of Beth Weisbruch, could, under the proper influence of the female spirit ' s competitive nature, bring greater improvements and victories to the squad. Much has occurred this year to further the future of girls ' basketball at MacArthur. The drive to excel is now firmly entrenched in the minds of the female athletes.

Gigi Brown, Leslie Conover, Denise Poor, Kathy Maples, Melody Sitkoff, and Teresa Kerss represented the Cardinals in the meet. Testing Ann Partridge ' s deep concentration is evident as she anticipates her next maneuver during her floor exercise. their skills in such events as the vault, balance beam, uneven parallel bars, and floor exercises, the young olympians came through with impressive, but unsuccessful, performances. Thus, the Birds were eventually supressed by other city states and forced to return to their home town. As experience increases, the inhabitants from the gymnasium of MacArthur improve and produce Squads which will challenge others for the favor of the gods. Techniques and contortions will become natural and poise, instinctive. In addition, each MacArthurian competitor must possess the abihty to accept defeat, as well as victory, with the same grace displayed in their sinuous motions. It is this accomplishment which shall be deemed most pleasing to those elite who observe all competitors from the heights of Mount Olympus. 228 gymnastics .• Displaying poise and coordination, Gigi Brown prepares txs do a walk over on the balance beam at the Nimitz Meet.

Journeying from their grammar school and junior high ways, MacArthur ' s ninth grade class embarked on an adventuresome mission in search of another world. Will it be inhabitated by little green men? Can they speak English? Do they possess a technologically advanced civilization far beyond the comprehension of the average Freshman? These questions would have to be answered. This is Headquarters. Come in! Report condition. Over. Condition is stable. We are approaching the primary stage of orbit. Confused as to the direction of their course, the Freshmen wandered helplessly through the misty hazes of the Milky Way for several weeks. Obstacles and strange debris such as lockers, room locations, and pseudo elevator passes obstructed their navigation. Despite the distractions. Chief Commander and President Mike Windsor, with the assistance of Vice President Melinda Maxwell, Secretary Kay Kennerly, Treasurer Lance White, and Reporter Stephanie Martin, kept the class on their original course. With the aid of class sponsor Mr. Dick Stinson, Commander Windsor directed his ship to make contact with other life forms in the area. The result provided entertainment and a sizeable treasury as the Frosh Jaws challenged the Super Sophs to a powderpuff football game. The newly-encountered aliens proved to be physically superior, for they captured a 12-6 win over the Freshmen. Despite the loss, the novice class reaped a $45 profit and a feeling of accomplishment. Freshman Favorites Nancy Campbell and Lance White. Utilizing their plump treasury for a celebration memorializing their accomplishments and prosperity, they threw a disco dance on a vacant planet. The festivity attracted a large crowd, and an immense $200 as well. They employed the extra cash by purchasing a speaker for the South Dining Hall of the starship, expanding the existent stereo system. Commander Mike Windsor summed their beginning achievements, saying, Our biggest difficulty was getting through all the confusion at the beginning of the year, but things should go more smoothly now. I believe we ' ve had a successful year! Having a notable hand in the success, two special crew members were exempliary for their optimistic outlook as first year cosmic explorers. Nancy Campbell, who held such prestigious positions as Homecoming Princess and Freshman Cheerleader, received the honor of Freshman Class Favorite along with Lance White, Treasurer of the class and member of the Tennis Team.

Provisions are being appropriated. Familiarized with their surroundings, the Sophomores were confident their spaceship was on the right path. In commemoration of the second leg of their journey, the crew chose new leaders; Laura McCullar, chief commander and president; Lance Pickard, vice-president, Dana Davis, secretary; Jenice Meagher, treasurer; and Lee Byers, reporter. After they had settled into the cosmic routine, the Sophomores concentrated on replenishing their treasury. Work was combined with pleasure as they raised over $80 by holding a bake sale and successfully challenging the lower decksmen, known as Freshmen, to a powderpuff football game. Midway through the second orbit, enthusiasm was strengthened by a disco dance. Crew members from all four decks attended the gala, which brought in a $200 profit for the Sophomores. With this surplus cash, they purchased the second speaker for the South Dining Hall, thus completing the sound system and. as President McCullar commented, giving future travelers something to remember us by. The Sophomores recognized the exceptional qualities of Jenice Meagher and Pat Coronado by naming them crew favorites. The ' distinction was well-earned, as both were active in athletics as well as extra-orbital events. Coronado, : who was freshman favorite last ' year, participated in soccer. Meagher, on the other hand, lent ; her services as class officer, Big Mac Keeper, and a participant in gymnastics. Upon completion of the trek ' s second stage.

Complete preparations with frequent visits to Junior Counselor Mrs. Mary Louise Wadsworth and continue journey as scheduled. To prevent their landing empty- hande.d, the junior crew immediately set out to amass some monetary riches. A bake sale was held through the organization of Secretary Cari Callicott and Reporter Pat Davenport, drawing in a generous sum of $56. Hoping to enlarge their treasury still further, the Junior Jocks accepted the challenge to a powderpuff football altercation from the Super Seniors. A fierce struggle to break the tied score of 8- 8 entertained the crowd, but no surpassing score was made by either squad. The crew ' s disappointment was soon eased when it was made public the treasury had been enhanced by $49. Suddenly, ' through the aid of their macrospectronic telescope, the Juniors caught sight of the long-anticipated New World. As a celebration of this discovery, the class decided to throw a party. Commander and President Scott Stevens, Vice-President Reuben McPherson, and Treasurer Todd Marney promptly began their diligent search for a band. Diamond was selected to vocalize the affair. The group truly proved to be a valuable gem, collecting $428 for the class. Being of benevolent disposition, the class chose to honor their elders through Senior Appreciation Day. The Juniors really went all out and almost outdid themselves, commented President Scott Stevens referring to the class ' participation. Two imique individuals, Meg Weisbruch and Randy Tadlock, were honored as class favorites. Meg held such reputable positions Junior Favorites Randy Tadlock and Meg Weisbruch. as president of Cardettes, yearbook staffer, and member of the National Honor Society. Randy was on the Varsity Football Team, ranked first academically in the class, and labored on the yearbook staff. The Juniors continued preparation for splash down as the New World became more reality than distant illusion. They did not hurry however, for they were well aware such a course would be traveled only once in a lifetime never to be retraced. 302 junior favorites Junior Secretary Cari Callicott and Reporter Pat Davenport.

The challenge of sucessfully completing the difficult four year course was heroically traveled by the Seniors. Their splash down was made possible through a sequence of elaborately celebrated festivities, distinctly marking the fourth orbital year. First on the agenda was a disco dance, which featured cosmic visual effects, such as a mirror ball and multi-colored lights. Next, everyone got in on the act for the senior play, Auntie Mame. The production struck a gold mine of $2000, an excellent initial stimulus for the continuation of the journey. Due to extra-orbital activities, the Seniors were overtaken by a spacial disease diagnosed as Senioritis. Resulting from overconfidence (a definite symptom of the infection), the Super Seniors challenged the Junior Jocks to a duel of powderpuff football. Although they did not prove superior as the score halted at eight-up, they collected a handy $49 for their ever increasing treasury. Realizing their voyage was soon to end, the Seniors decided to conduct one last event which would demonstrate their talents acquired in the previous three orbits — the Senior Spectacular. According to many members of the faculty, the show was the best organized and most entertaining in MacArthur ' s history. Reaping a $1300 profit, it was generally deemed a financial triumph.

We were the first senior class under Sponsor Mr. Murphy Webster that actually broke even on Prom expenses, said Weisbruch in summation of the event. Two noted supporters, Carol O ' Teter and Don Smith, were awarded for their dedication through the title of Senior Class Favorites.

I panic at the thought of having to interview Mr. A .J . Brazil, Mr. Paul Burke, Mr. Dick Stinson, Mrs. Regina Story, and Mr. Murphy Webster. Why was I assigned this awful task? TUESDAY Dear Diary, Mr. Burke was in Atlanta at an administrators ' convention. Was told to check back on Thursday. Mr. Webster was busy working on the master schedule for 1977-1978. As Sophomore Class Sponsor, Mr. Brazil had no sooner returned from a meeting with the tenth grade officers than he began work on Irving ' s summer school program. I thought surely one of the administrators would have a minute to talk to me, but I began to lose hope as the morning announcements came on and I heard Mrs. Story notifying the Latin Club of their 7:30 meeting. Vice-Principal Dick Stinson was on the phone discussing the breakdown of a school bus. WEDNESDAY Dear Diary, Word was out that Mr. Burke had come back a day early from his convention in Atianta, so I ran to his office. Before I could catch him, though, he was on his way to Arlington to observe their school facilities. When Mr. Burke returned, he had plans to work on the budget. His secretary told me not to expect any interviews this week, as all of the administrators were busy organizing the Texas Education Agency Self-Study for next year. Senior Class Sponsor and Assistant Principal Murphy Webster was not to be interrupted for planning of Baccalaureatte and Commencement were occupying a great deal of his time. Nor was I able to interview Mr. Brazil, whose duties include hall, cafeteria, and parking lot supervision. Beginning his day with Etrrangements for substitute teachers, Mr. Brazil had written up their work agendas. After this task was completed, he delivered several projectors and other pieces of audio-visual equipment to wanting classrooms. I also found Mr. Stinson impossible to reach. As Freshman Class Sponsor, he was busy making arrangements for the next meeting. Principal Mr. Paul Burke; Vice-Principal Mr. Dick Stinson. Vice-Principal Mrs. Regina Story. Mrs. Story, whose various titles include Vice-Principal and sponsor of both Student Council and Junior Class, was compiling reports submitted in relation to the TEA evaluation. She had been occupied with at least one of these duties and offices all day. Mrs. Story had even made arrangements for the next teacher in-service program before the 5:00 whistle had blown. THURSDAY Dear Diary, I give up. I ' ll never get an interview. I suppose I ' ll have to leave the school ' s supervision in the hands of those elite few who know this complex business best. 356 faculty division Assistant Principal Mr. Murpliy Webster «R - ' nf{f!?r is= ■SOfi- .

Its effects have spread from such trivia as children ' s dice games to the ruling hand of Irving ' s public institutions of learning: the school board. The powers emitted by the numeral provided a successful year for the board. Under me direction of Superintendent Dr. J. F. Townley and President Troy Kelley, the members made plans for the John F. Townley Elementary School to open in the fall of 1978. They also authorized major renovations at W. T. Hanes Elementary and Crockett Junior High Schools. In addition, two new junior highs — Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin were opened this year. With the recent elections, change has come to the school board: Mrs. Anne Pfaff and Dr. Robert J. Pierce will replace Dr. Richard Bates and Mr. P ' rank Maykus next year, thus keeping seven board members and, consequently, the lucky number ' s auspicious powers. Dr. Richard Banowsky Dr. Richard Bates Mr. Troy Kelley school board 365 peepers of tl|e Jew Imagine a huge, slithering, 2600- headed monster, having 5200 hands and weighing 299,000 pounds. Such a beast lurks in the halls of MacArthur the Student Body. The daily care and feeding ot this hulking mass is a task faced by Mac ' s custodians and lunchladies. Because the ogre knows httle of housekeeping and is given to littering (the more careless of its hands don ' t even aim for the trash cans), thecustodial staff maintains the Student Body ' s lair. Each evening after the monster becomes dormant, custodians spend hours repairing faucets, mowing lawn, replacing light bulbs, erasing graffitti, sweeping away debris, and totaling parking fees collected, preparing its home for another day of use. During occasional long absences of the Body (spring break, Christmas vacation, etc.) keepers of the den give it a thorough scrub- down and polishing. This 2600-headed monster also has as many mouths and ever- empty stomachs. To combat its strongest hunger pangs, which occur between 11:15 am and 1:10 pm, the lunchladies feed the body in three shifts, called A, B, and C lunches. Complying with the ravenous beast ' s tastes and U.S. government specifications, lunchladies plan and prepare en masse, a wide variety of meals each week. Their efforts to temporarily appease the Body ' s abdominal cravings are successful as it invades th cafeteria on a daily basis.

It ' s been nice. Really it has, but we need to be going. The year is over and we have graduated. Thank you for having us as Editors of the 1977 CREST. It ' s been a real ... a real . . . experience. Yes, it certainly has been a real experience. Now you don ' t need to say things like that. Please, just calm down. We ' ve tried toexplainit wasn ' t entirely our fault. Yes, Sir, that ' s right. It was Mike O ' Teter. He was the one who suggested Superstition be the theme of the book. Well of course we were amused by the idea. O ' Teter is clever. We know you don ' t consider what has happened to be amusing or clever. We just want you to know who is at fault. That ' s all. Really, it is time for us to leave. Oh well, we could stay a little longer— since you put it that way. Homecoming? Yes, Sir, we did have a lot of fun. Rain? Oh that! Now look here — we had nothing to do with the parade being rained out. It was an act of nature! No, Sir, nature had nothing to do with the Cardinals losing the game that night. Surely, Sir, you ' re not implying that Superstition had anything to do with the Homecoming bad luck? Oh, you are. Now, if that ' s all you have to say ... Oh, it isn ' t! Irving game? Snow days? Texas Rose? Mike Jones breaking his leg on Friday the thirteenth? Look, you get your dander up because a few things go wrong around the school. Then you try to blame us because we have an unusual theme for our yearbook. Well, listen here, Buddy, it ain ' t been no bed of roses down in room 302 since Friday, August 13. Yes, we did think it a clever idea to incorporate Superstition into the thirteenth yearbook. Seemed like a natural. Well from that day to this one, not much happening has seemed very natural. Take for instance unexpalined machine failure, missing computer cnips, rewired memory banks, strobes that don ' t flash in the night, missing photographers (Where is Brad Miller?). And you sit there complaining about football games, rain, snow, and rock groups. Look, we ' ve got big things to be concerned with. Just the other day Stan Fredrick was in the midst of writing Girls ' Track copy when his dad was coming in from Hong Kong. That boy left the school yelling, I ' ll be right back, and rushed to DFW. Funny, it seems his father came in from Rome only the week before. Or was it London? No, that was the week before Stan ' s truck broke down. And the night Stan Slejko challenged Debbie Robinson to a water duel. This may not seem so catastrophic to you, Sir, but gee-whiz, there were frappin ' quad-paks in there. Everything finally ended up opie-opie when Slejko won by default. Robinson ' s boyfriend (What was his name?) came to her rescue. Then the carpet was installed. Sir, do you realize what that did to our entire organization? It is so soft, so comfortable that 370 our world many staffers preferred the floor to typewriters. Often, such socially prominent personages as Meg Weisbruch, Pam Armstrong, Stan Slejko, Debbie Robinson, and Anne Hogue would be cought napping on the nap and would have to be rudely awakened. Oh, believe us. Sir, creativity was used in this arduous task. Also, there was the Monday morning stench from the Saturday evening feasts. The Brown Bag Gourmets would dine on cup« of Cream of Carrot, or Cream of Cauliflower, or Cream of Friday ' s Leftovers. The mundane would either go home for supper or munch-out at Arby ' s, Taco Inn, or MacDonald ' s. The custodians, appalled at the aroma from the trash cans, finally turned on the air conditioning. Now, staffers were able to hang fresh meat in the offices. After David Gray saw the movie Rocky, this did present a problem. Oh, and, Sir, the night of the Chocolate Classic made football appear to be just another game. Jersey Joe Schroeder waB pitted against Muhammed Hall to determine the CREST Championship. The computer beeped and Schroeder led with a right. Hall dodged and caught it on the chin, ending the first round. Trainer Meadows slipped Schroeder a secret weapon for quick victory. The second round began with an unnerving scream from Texas ' third best feature writer. Hall was not quick enough to see the blow approaching and was KO ' d by the Editor ' s sledgehammer right, concealing a Nestle ' s Crunch. And, pity. Sir, not only ' i he Man but poor Susan Shipp. sir, this girl did more to get out of writing Favorite Pages than any other staffer in the history of CREST. While seeking recreation to vent her frustrations, Susan fell off her skateboard and was incapacitated just long enough for her pages to be rescued by Farrah Thomas. While Helen Wheels Shipp was noted for her speed on the sidewalk, she was out-classed by the nimble Hogan 8ist«r8 as they pursued Tony Jim in a marathon race which received international recognition— making the Queen ' s year quite a Jubilee. While on the topic of royalty. Sir, we must relate to you about the Senior Class President. Rather fastidious in his hygiene, President Editor Valedictorian Weisbruch, in an effort to be on time, would bring his morning ablution equipment each Saturday. There, in his office, on layout hangers, would be draped wet wash rags drying in the hot air of his dictates. Between extolling the virtues of a sugarless diet, Shaklee vitamins, and exclaiming, I work out at Nautilus, Weisbruch endeared himself to all staffe rs by rewriting their copy and approving his girlfriend ' s (What was her name?). Creating an authoritative atmosphere, Weisbruch caused Anne Hogue to retreat to the solace of her green bean bag chair. There she perched in an air of indignation, ruling the realm of copy with pica pole in hand. In addition, she applied her journalistic expertise in the field of communications with her own version of Weekend Update. So your think Superstition has brought you problems. Look, we haven ' t even begun to forgive O ' Teter for his brilliant addition to the inherent problems in a publications department. Just continue to sit there in yourimmitation leather chair and listen to a few real problems. Sir, how would you like to listen to Laura McCullar attempt to tell a dirty joke? Now you ' re beginning to see what we are talking about, aren ' t you? Or, better yet, listen for weeks at a time to the Saga of Freddie the Flounder from Tina Oiler? Oh, and wait, there ' s more! Camellia Sims became CREST ' s Foreign Correspondent — reporting from and for militarily occupied zones. Then Cindy Hyser brought back the fear of Ve haf our vays to many staffers when she was discovered swimming at a friend ' s house on a work Saturday. And, Sir, you can ' t imagine the ear-splitting conflict which emerged from the production lab. Oh, Sir, John Nunley would bring all his woofers, tweeters, and speakers to Rock Around the Clock and compete with Carol O ' Teter ' s roper radio. Then from the editor ' s office, Todd Fagan would artistically arrange his stereo speakers to jam the outside noise whereby he could create masterpieces which will one day never hang in any respectable museum. And from the far away reaches of the photo lab came the calming strains of Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart — Suzan Nyfeler ' s contribution to the chaos. There were several positive moves made by various staff members. Sir. David Scruggs was finally cured of what we £ill thought to be terminal gripe. Leanne Daniels finally decided, for the thirteenth time, to return to yearbook for another year. Cindy Kemmerly, Sir, stopped crying over rejected copy. Amelia Halter perfected her proofing abilities by finding mistakes in each peace of copy. Cindy Bleuler found something to do and did afantasticjobof doingit. Suzanne Tripp got up the courage to talk to Heard. Red Don Smith wasn ' t hurt when he broke the glass on the light board. And, even as we speak, David Meeker is attempting to untangle himself from a myriad of computer tapes. Sir, try if you will, to appreciated the quandry in which we were placed by several mysterious dilemmas. Why Sir. did Doug Stover, alias Big Tweety, continuously chirp, I ' m mad as heck, and I ' m not going to take it any more? Why is Gary Rausin still in the library? Who is Randy Tadlock ' s idol and why did he enroll in a summer charm school course? Who is Don Weaver? What is life? What are we doing here? Sorry about that. Sir. We just get carried away at times. We ' ve had so much luck this year and all of it has been bad. Please wake up. Sir. We have more to tell you We were blessed with one particular staffer who had a true Nose for News. Black Don Smith gathered his facts, wrote his copy, took and developed his pictures, typed his galley, completed his paste-up, and was gone before you could say, Batter up. ' Of course, his pages were not due in for two more weeks and sports had been waiting at photography ' s doorfortherights to the Omega for twice that long. Dandy Don got things done when no one else could, mainly because no one else could wh en he was getting things done. Oh, Sir, lurking in the dark depths of the photo lab there were countless mysteries which occurred. What could have happened to the tennis negatives? Sir, when will Brad Miller fix the drier? Why did Krissty LaBleu ' s pictures always face off the page? Where has all the paper gone? Where has all the film gone? Where have all the strobes gone? Why are Suzan Nyfeler ' s hands brown? Is there an after life? These, and other important questions will never be answered. Sir, we must recommend Suzan Nyfeler for any medal of valor available. She had so little help until the arrival of The Bearded One, David Freidberg. Although Nyfeler did most of the photography herself, she greatly admired Da%-id Salas fluency in Spanish, Mike Pierce ' s and Paul Cox ' s theatrical prowess, and Richard Compton. So you see. Sir, had it not been for O ' Teter and his creativity, none of this would have happened. Football games would have been won, the sun would have shone, and CREST would not be sitting here at 4 am on June 6 writing this copy. You can see our side? Oh thank you. Sir. Now, it ' s really time for us to leave. As they made ready to depart, Sir exclaimed to them, 0-tay ' panky, we ' ll let Mikey do it next year. our world 371 In Memoriam Chris Thomas 1961 - 1976 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name ' s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou annointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalms 23: 1-6 372 memorial ■ - i .
