all of Fame Hall of Fame Hall of Fame Hall of Fam l Ben Guise Everything you experience becomes a part of you, the more you experience, the more you have to draw on, said Ben Guise, who had experienced a lot while living in Germany. I was exposed to people, things and customs I had never seen before. Guise went to Boys' State and was in Key Club, National Honor Society and Beta Club. He also played trumbone in the Marching Band and PeeVee Jazz. I like jazz because it uses more complicated chord changes than disco or rock, he said. It allows more room for improvisation and expression. With jazz, you really have to listen to enjoy it. l Christy Harrell The spotlighted stage was Christy Harrell's reward for the years of blistered feet caused by standing on her toes. After six years of practice she was teaching dancing three days a week while she continued to study tap, jazz and ballet. I love the ballet, Christy said, but Icouldn't compete in it, because the competition would take all of the enjoyment out. Christy was also a Liberty Belle, president of Beta Club and an active member in Student Council. I ran for Student Council because I can't sit back and watch things be done, she said. I have to get involved with the school. The most important thing I've learned through Student Council is how to work with people. r Sheila Hearty Action! The director's favorite word. But according to Sheila Hearty it was the easiest part of the job. The director is involved in every aspect of the play, said Sheila, who was the student director for Parkview's production of The Drunkard. ' 'You always have to be there, and you have to keep everyone going when they want to quit. Sheila also tried her hand at acting and had the leading role in Parkview's second play, Mr. Angel. It's fun to act, she explained. It's easier to be someone else on stage. You can ham it up more. Sheila planned to attend Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, to major in public relations. I'll end up acting somehow, though, she concluded. 1 Y-mv I Chris Holcomb Ten hut! was a common expression in the vocabulary of Chris Holcomb, who was the lieutenant commander of the NJ ROTC Drill Platoon . What Ilike best in ROTC is the rifle team, he said. We use Remmington 22 caliber rifles, shooting at targets the size of a quarter, 50 feet away. The team attended eight or nine meets each year and for the first time went to an out-of-state meet where they placed second. Holcomb was also kept busy by being president of National Honor Society, but he still found plenty of time to be active in his church. During the summer, his youth group went to California to help a new congregation get started. It was a blessing to have an opportunity to witness, he said. Holcomb also played on his church softball and basketball teams. When there are Christian friends, there is love. Without the ' church my life would be nothing, blah! Tai fl .., , ,, F Victor Hood The moment of glory after a victory gave Victor Hood all the reason he needed to keep up his football practice. But at times he didn't think it was all worth it. In my sophomore year, we had to keep practicing in the sleet and snow, and I asked myself why Iwas doing all this, he said. Hood kept up with football off the field as well as on. He wrote for the Constitution sports department. I get enjoyment out of writing, he said. I wouldn't be ashamed to put my work up against anyone. Hood had concem for people along with his interest in sports and was president of the senior class. At the end of my junior year, everyone was talking about big plans for next year. I was concerned about the class and was looking for a senior year that would be good for all. Hall of Fame lll

I got on the Council because I wanted to help organize the activities for the year, Susan said. I also wanted to try to get more participation out of the student body.' ' Susan was a Student Council representative each of her three years at PV. The Council is a good thing, Susan said, but the ofticers tend to do most of the work.

Traveling had given Lizabeth a better opportunity to find intersting thimbles, which she collected. After three years, she had 38 thimbles, many with stories behind them. One of her favorites was and antique her grandparents brought back from Germany after World War II. Lizabeth was Secretary of Narional Honor Society and was a member of Beta club. She maintained a grade point average of 3.972. I like listening to classical music when I study, because it dosen't have words so your mind can wander. Lizabeth also enjoyed playing classical and jazz on the piano. Her 10 year background in piano had paid off by helping her receive first place in the District Musical Festival. 'hi' Joni Blevins Student Council and Liberty Belles were popular activities for senior Pats. Joni Blevins found that doing both was not impossible. l've been a Liberty Belle for two years because I enjoy the people and I'm interested in marching, said Joni. I also wanted to promote school spirit. Joni was a senior representative of Student Council and was active in the Council all of her three years at Parkview. I got into Student Council so I could get involved, Joni said. Joni planned to attend the University of Arkansas. , M, Angie Faulkner Pro circuit she wasn't but, Angie Faulkner was about the closest thing Parkview had in the women's tennis category. l've been playing tennis since I was about ten, Angie said. ' 'My whole family plays and they had a lot to do with my interest in the game. Angie was on the tennis team her sophomore and senior years, as well as being a Liberty Belle and participating in Student Council. I had never thought about being a cheerleader, but Iwanted to promote spirit, Angie said of ' her decision to become a Liberty Belle. Angie was in the Homecoming Court as well as being a candidate for Belle and Beau.

The desire for music is hereditary. My family has always been involved with music.' ' .Iana's musical interest carried over into school, where she was in Madrigals, Choir and Band. With music you always have a performance to strive for, and when you perform, other people can get satisfaction out of what you do, she said. You don't just play for yourself.

I also thought it would be a good experience to have some responsibility, he said. Jordan played football for the Patriots for three years and was a starting linebacker on the 1979 team.

Lowe received honorable mention on the All-State basketball team his sophomore year and went on to make the All-State team his junior year.
