Cniiiiffls Swing Rance for Conunuirote MacArthur's first female golf team was formed during the 1981-1982 school year as Mike Marshall took the head coaching job while at his teaching year at MacArthur. The squad consisted of Junior Carla Mayes and Freshmen Brooke Graham and Charlotte Russey. When questioned how she felt about being on a team with only three members, Mayes replied, I think it feels great, although I wished there were more people on the team so we could go to more tournaments and such. However, I really love all the individual help we get. Since there's so few of us, we get a lot of help we wouldn't get with a large team. An explanation for the formation of the Girls' Golf Team was simply equal rights. Marshall felt that the girls had as much right to play golf as the boys. Also, Marshall claimed that the size and location were two other important factors taken into consideration. The girls practiced five days a week in the afternoons-playing nine holes of golf at the Las Colinas Country Club. During these sessions they concentrated on particular aspects of the game and the best methods of improvement. Competing in the first tournament of their history, the golfers failed to place on the team scoreboard or on the individual scoreboard at the Plano Invitational. However, with continual practice time, the squad was expected to improve as the girls grew accustomed to the feel ofcompetition. 51. 4 'Z in are , ,, f WA f .. in W rss. yy, . vc at '59 ..t.wsg51'3'fQ 4 . ii . . f ' . . v..,r ,, ' Top Right: Junior Carla Mayes prepares for the Plano Invitational during a daily practice.

Sceiimicorf Moncflleis Palais Stgyllcess To further her career in fashion, Senior Katrina Olivas departed for a three month modeling contract in Paris, France. This opportunity was presented to her when the Elles Modeling Agency sought 15 American girls to be photographed in the French capital. A representative of the corporation interviewed the 17 year old in August and chose her to be among the elite group. All of her expenses were paid. Beginning her occupation at the age of 13, the aspiring career girl worked independently until she signed with Kim Dawson at age 15. This lead to assignments for Neiman Marcus and Joskes, along with shots in Seventeen and Texas Monthly magazines, and the fashion section of The Dallas Morning News. While spending her summer in New York, Olivas was presented with two contracts asking her to stay and finish school there. The MacArthur student refused these offers so that she could remain in Irving. During her stay overseas, Olivas continued her education by taking Senior English through a correspondence course at Texas Tech University and learning French in night school. ln December, she entered the second semester at MacArthur and was able to graduate with her class. t Top Right: Preparing for the upcoming Freshman Class Officer Elections, Kristy Francis displays the campaign slogan she hopes will carry her on to victory.

coaniifdl Chooses Cllumws Sijpomsorr Younglife, a Christian organization, taught teenagers to become responsible young adults. The group met every Wednesday night at 7:30 in an empty building across from the Brown Bag Restaurant. The club, comprised of over 250 members, strived to bring students closer to God. New Younglife Director Rob Shultz, with the help from former leader Paul Gettimiere, arranged for the group to go on a ski trip to Purgatory, Colorado, during the Christmas vacation. To help raise money for their adventure, the group played a ten hour volleyball game in which they were sponsored for each hour they played. At one meeting, several male members participated in a fashion show where they modeled the sleeping attire of various females in the group. Tad Wilson, Rick Ward, Jack Hands, Mike Wilson, Jeff Williams, and Jeff King donned the night clothes of Hollye Bozeman, Amy Cruse, Karen White, Karen Deen, Holly Dearing, and Tara Dearing, Senior Derek Blake, a three year member, stated his views about Younglife by saying, It's a great organization with a lot of great people.
