The JV never mounted a serious threat against the powerful Scot team, as injuries and fumbles plagued MacArthur throughout the game. Although several key players were forced to sit much of the game out as a result of various ailments, poor execution, mental mistakes, and missed assignments also contributed to the Cards' 36-0 defeat. Under the leadership of Coaches Mike Fields and Roy Kinnan, the Freshman Team was defeated at Mesquite Memorial Stadium. West Mesquite struck first, tallying a safety in the first half. However, the Cards came back on Mike Marsh's second half kickoff return for a touchdown. The opposition later took possession of the lead for good, scoring a touchdown to defeat Mac, 9-6. ln the second week of play, the JV encountered difficulty once again, as Richland eased by the Cards, 7-6. Larry MacDonald gave MacArthur the lead with an early touchdown, but the Rebels secured the victory on a successful score in the second half. Defeating the North Garland Raiders, 20- 6, at Raider Stadium, the Freshmen had more success in their second game. Brian Hands, Mike Marsh, and Lonnie Finch all contributed with scores. 1,7 K.,

Varsity Sgaillaceirs EDWEHU for Sceazscom Training with the aid of conditioning drills and additional practice on their plays, the Varsity Volleyball Team strengthened themselves mentally and physically during the off season, which began August 3. Workouts consisted of a method called circuit training, with each station containing different forms of exercise such as seal walks, wall jumps, and a modernized version of setups. Predicted Senior Janice Poteet, We are really looking forward to a good year. By the start of the season, the squad had already played seven games against such top ranked area teams as Carter, Sunset, Lewisville, and Bishop Dunne. The Cards lost the first game against Carter. However, MacArthur was victorious in the remainder of its preseason games. The Varsity's goal of improving last year's record got off to a slow start in their first district contest, played on September 17. The LD. Bell Raiders eased past the Cards in three games as the Varsity fell short of victory. The squad won the initial set by a score of 15-9, and led the start of the second, but lost, 15-9. Through most of the third set there was less than a four point spread. Nevertheless, Bell emerged victorious, 15-8. xi Top: Shannon Young and Lisa Bryson and Shawn Wild prepare to indulge in lunch.

X8 Villllarftrn Hiceccceiivces ooo, Pcojpcccotfnm Performing a play form rare to MacArthur audiences, the Drama Club staged the melodrama Lily, the Felon's Daughter on the evenings of September 17, 18, and 19 in the North Cafeteria. With only 17 days to prepare the production, Director Charlotte English chose the melodrama for its simple, yet unique form. Casting was completed two weeks before the first day of school. Major characters were Ginger Finney as the heroine Lily Fairweather, Kenny Rudolph as the hero Compton Fairweather, and Paul Watts as the villain Craven Sinclair. Lea Ann Bray, Mike Hill, Ronnie Jones, Brian Rayburn, Tiffany Riley, and Debbie Capps provided additional entertainment with a song and dance routine during the intermission. The audience participated in the presentation by booing, hissing, and hurling popcorn kernals upon the entrance of the villain. The popcorn was provided by the ushers along with a handkerchief to cry in. Stage hands furnished encouragement by holding up cards indicating the appropriate response for the action. i'We had excellent audience response, commented English. As a result of our success, two other high schools in the area are planning to produce melodramasf' The play had twist from the usual good versus evil theme as the hero was not as virtuous as most heros are characterized. Despite his uncontrollable gambling compulsion, he managed to redeem himself and save the day.
