No, it's going to be dif- ferent this year. AND IT WAS! Although it rained for the second year in a row and the building wasn't quite finished and it was not the perfect begin- ning for a new school, we were still off to a hot start. After live years of bond issues, law suits, and construction, stu- dents and faculty were finally able to move into a trendy new building. With the move to new high school, grades 9- 12 had spirit that was at an all-time high. The new campus re- ally made a difference in pride and spirit, said senior Rebecca Sims. 'lWe have more than we've ever had. Pride was not the only difference noticed. Along with the change in pride came the change of a few rules. Lunch was the major change in the day as students were no longer able to leave the cam- pus for lunch. Senior Wendy Ratcliff said, With everyone having to stay at school for lunch, it has made us like one big happy fami- ly. Traditions estab- lished in the past helped to make the year fun for everyone. Senior pep rallies, such as the toga and the bum rally, helped relieve the ten- sion of the year. The overall enthusiasm proved to be a winner for all as Pleasant Grove showed continuous spirit throughout the year. The opinion all around Texarkana seemed to be that Pleasant Grove was def- initely the HOT SPOT. 2 Opening Many new events took place be- cause of the new campus.

Students put on their coolest outfits and prepared for the Hin of Hot I-Iot Summer Ni hts Siiizef he sun went down, pools closed, and Pleasant Grove students got ready for those 'Tlot Summer Nights. lf stu- dents weren't vacationing in their favorite spot, they did their best to make Texarkana excit- ing. Mary Hancock said, l like moonlit walks on the TCC golf course or just talking with friends at Burger King. The King seemed to be a popular place for many because of T- towns lack of places to hang out. So, if the Acme-Rent-A-Cop could be avoided, BK would suf- fice as a decent meeting place to make plans for the evening. For Mark Hawkins and Matt Fellinger, their plans included racing friends to Domino, hang- ing out at the circle of death, or playing Top Gun. lf fortune came your way, nights were spent on a sandy beach. This was true for Paige l-lenson and Wendy Ratclitf. Though they enjoyed baking in the sun and swimming, night- time beach parties and dates with locals were their favorite ways to spend Hot Summer Nights. The heat was on as drill team members and cheerlead- ers spent their nights preparing for tryouts and competition that would take place the next day at camp. Majorettes worked equal- ly as hard perfecting each and every step. The Yearbook staff worked on homework assigned during their day at Ouachita Baptist University's Yearbook Camp. As the remaining time for Hot Summer Nights ran out, students hurried to make last minute activitites fit in. Many said good-bye to summer loves and friends who went away to college. Seniors realized this would be their last oflicial high school summer break, and were forced to meet the reality of be- coming the Seniors of 1987. - Melinda Birge 2 i l l ii .gi i 'tfarnrl Local Scuba Diver entertains Wendy Ratcliff as she vaca- tions ln Florida.

The cheerleaders competed and received superior ratings while Grover was awarded best mascot at TCU cheerleading camp. For victims of those sizzling summer days, splashing in a pool was the most popular way to cool off. Kevin Thomp- son and Chris Court cooled off while play- ing chicken with friends at Paul Oubre's pool. Other PG stu- dents cooled off at their favonte lake. Keri Oakley said. lt's fun to jump into an ice cold lake after laying out and sweating in the boat. Lacie Cham- bers dealt with high tempera- tures while lifeg- uarding at the Racquet Club. During ten min- ute breaks, we cooled of by sit- ting in the shade and drinking ice cold cokes, Lacie said. For Kyle Campbell, mow- ing lavsms was a very hot job.

With a brand new building, New was definitely on the minds of students retuming to school in the fall. With a brand new building, starting school had a little different twist. 'There seemed to be more enthusiasm, excite- ment, and confidence in the students retuming this year, said Principal Jack Davis. Ann Boothman, sopho- more, agreed. This year there was more excitement 10 Student Life because of the new buidling and seeing everybody again, she said. Getting ready did not take place over night. Months of planning and preparation went into getting ready. After waiting through bond issues and construction, the new high school was finally com- pleted, but there were still many details that had to be worked out. Teachers and custodians and even stu- dents spent the summer moving. Before open house, the principals were mowing the grass so that the school would have a finished look. The principals were not the only ones working hard before school. The coaches and players were also here practicing to prepare for the season to come. Teachers showed up a week early for inservice train- ing and workdays while stu- dents came by not only to get schedules and lD cards, but also to take a look around. With all the preparations and confusion, the first day of school was more than a day - it was an event. Page Sponsors: KEMP BROS.

First Days 11 After a hectrc day Like a light in the dark, the traditional Burning of the H is a way to officially kick off the week of Homecoming. Students, parents, and friends alike gathered in the open field to participate in the festivities surround- ing the excrtem ent and an trcrpa tron were In th e au' tomgh t here was an air of antici- pation in the crowd. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, nine nervous Home- coming princesses waited for the homecoming ceremony to begin. Well, the somewhat nervous princesses. l only had S50 minutes to get ready and be at school, said senior Christy Patterson. lt was hard to be nervous when I was so rush- ed. The Coronation ceremony on Monday kicked off a week of Homecoming activities. lt was set into motion two weeks earlier as the football players elected the court. The prin- cesses were sophomores Kris 12 Student Life rf Hill, escorted by Paul Oubre, and Keri Oakley, escorted by Chad Coleman: juniors Kris- ten Luehrs, escorted by Tony Wiltshire, Robin Rogers, escorted by Craig Schulz, and Tammie Wilf, escorted by Chad Dodson, seniors Gret- chen Lemke, escorted by Todd Martin, Susan Mohun- dro, escorted by Trace War- ren, Christy Patterson, escor- ted by Gregg Kanupe, and Wendy Ratcliff escorted by Mark Hawkins. The lights dimmed, and si- lence fell in the gym as Amy Copeland stepped to the mi- crophone. For everything there must be a beginning. For every wish fulfilled, there once was a dream. For every legend built there once was that ini- tial hope . . . Let the Legend of the Hawks begin tonight. A hush fell over the crowd as the spotlight beamed on the Homecoming princesses, and Tommy Ables sang ln The Air Tonight. By the end of the song, anticipation had built, and the excited crowd was waiting patiently to find out who the queen would be. Sherry Hall, the 1985 Home- coming Queen, made the much awaited announce- ment. Christy Patterson was croumed by Mr. Davis, as Hawk captains Bill Stone and Trace Warren presented her with the queen's bouquet and robe.

The zipper on her dress broke be- fore she even made it to the cer- emonies. Christy Patterson lost her poise. Stepping on her dress and trying not to fall, she stumbled up the stairs.

They were put to the test to rely only on them- selves, and they made it. Captain, Melin- da Birge, com- mented, lt was really a rough week. Along with worrying about Ms. McCoart, we were faced with responsibilities usually handled by a sponsor. She also men- tioned how the drill team used the time to work together and be- come really close. During the week, they mar- ched in the fair pa- rade and won the overall marching award. The Showstoppers also practiced ex- tra hours to par- ticipate in pre- game ceremonies and perfect their halftime show. All in all. each member of the drill team grew from the experi- ence. For all their hard work they re- ceived the high- est honor - a standing ovation after their per- formance. ' K.

This week was so hec- tic. said senior Wendy Ratcliff, I had to practice cheers, decorate for the cer- emony, and ride in the fair parade. For the first time in several years, Homecoming and the Four States Fair fell during the same week. And for stu- dents like Wendy who had to participate in both Home- coming and fair activities, it was a rather busy week. There were many long hours and much hard work put in to get ready. Two weeks before Homecoming, the Student Council and cheerleaders began the pre- parations. Decorations were Sa cheesel Taking a Break from the fun and ex- cltement of the fair are seniors Scott Elchorn, Jimmy Townsend, Todd Martin, Craig Schulz, Chad Merchant, Trace Warren, and Dylan Lewis. made and put up, rehearsals for the ceremony were held, and the football, drill team, and band practiced for the game. Even with all the stir of ac- tivity going on at school, many students still found time to go enjoy the fair and rodeo. We had a blast. said se- nior Craig Schulz, We rode the scary rides and played games. All of us just cut up and had a good time. Between homework and Homecoming, the fair gave most students a chance to go take time off and have some fun. Then came Friday night- the Homecoming game against Linden-Kildare. This was what Homecoming was all about. lt is a celebration of school spirit as well as a time for alumni to come back to their high school. Though Pleasant Grove has only one class ofalums, they were in the stands. The cele- brating began as the Home- coming Court and their fath- ers were introduced on the field at pre-game ceremo- nies. It continued as the Hawks took to the field. Many of the football players say that the Homecoming game makes them want to win a lit- tle more than any other game, but as seniors Jerry Moody and Trace Warren said, Once you start playing, it's the same as any other game. But this week wasn't over yet. There was still Saturday. Saturday moming the band participated in a marching contest and took a first divi- sion rating. By Saturday night and the Homecoming dance, the week was coming to a close. l was rather tired by Sat- urday night, said senior Dylan Lewis, lt was the per- fect ending for a busy week. ge Sp0n0l'S FOUR STATES OIL, INC.

Especially popular was the weekly segment of l'Rumors where the private lives of the athletes were re- vealed to the student body. On a few special occasions, special themes were given to the pep rallies. On Halloween each student was encouraged to dress up as his favorite charac- ter. The senior English classes presented humorous skits. Two night pep rallies were granted in honor of the senior class. These were the popular, but final, Toga pep rally and the emotional senior bum pep rally. This was the perfect finale reflec- ting a successful and spirit-filled football season. Summer Spmt Sure, the foot- ball team prac- tices in August. But what most people don't know is that the cheerleaders, drill team, and band practiced all summer long to prepare for the school year. These groups not only prac- ticed for hours on end, but also attended special camps to leam new techniques and experienced competition. We practiced every day last summer before camp on perfec- ting all of our cheers. We came home with lots of excitement and new ideas for the football sea- son, said senior cheerleader Wendy Ratcliff.

Those stu- dents who were interested in athletics were often found at softball or soccer fields until sunset. Lyndale Holloway spent his free time at First Bap- tist Church practicing softball and having fun. He said, Softball keeps me active dur- ing off-season at school and there's no pressure. Play ball Busy Dance classes also re- quired some athletic ability. lt takes a lot of energy to dance after a rough day of school. l love dancing, because it helps me take my mind off the obli- gations I have at school, said Stephanie Forand. Spencer Gray felt the same way about obligations. He and several other students spent their afternoons on stage. Being in the play keeps me from having to mow the yard, he said. Other talented students stayed away from home by go- ing to church choir. l like find- ing out how well l can sing by practicing, said Bethany Goff. No matter what students did after school, they always found a way to get out of their chores or doing their home- work.

To help break the monotony of the proper classroom proce- dure, students played games or practical jokes on each other. Anything from purse dumping to whoopie cushions amused even the most conservative stu- dents. Why would these students risk getting caught Sr being pun- ished? To make people para- noid, said Angie Watson. Ellen Vrana added, to bother people and bug the teachers. Sometimes class gets so boring that you have to do something to liven it up, said Tammie Willet. One way that students accom- plished this was by the familiar whoopie cushion. Students headed for the pencil sharpener only to retum to the embarras- sing act of some inconspicuous classmate. Another popular game was purse dumping. Girls would be deeply involved in a conversa- tion while that friendly class- mate slowly passed all of the contents in her purse around the room. She would go for a pen and find absolutely nothing in her purse. Then she would spend the rest of the class looking for ev- erything. Although these games were aimed at the students, the teachers received their fair share. Lori Ables, senior En- glish teacher, was one of those who became a victim. While she was grading papers, second pe- riod students cautiously tumed everything in her room upside- doum. When the bell rang, they all fled to safety. Another trick played by stu- dents was coughing or popping knuckles. At a certain time, des- ignated by a student before the tardy bell, everyone would either start coughing or pop- ping their knuckles. lt's so great! It drives the teachers nuts! said John Bius. Even fun has its drawbacks. Some students admitted the games sometimes disturbed their studies, but that was the least of their wonies.

A relaxing lunch is now just a memory for juniors and seniors. Thirty minutes doesn't go far for hungry stu- dents.

This was partly because of the changing customs each year. When I was in high school, we could make the guy a little mum, said senior English teacher Lori Ables. We went to eat pizza at rIaroId's and we drank apple beer. A few couples even had matching shirts. Now the girls order the shirts at least two months in advance, and they have to eat at either Park Place or Oliver Twist. Another changing custom is instead of the guy getting a mum, he might get a giant teddy bear. Even so, the guys still don't think the girls spend lots of money. I would say the girl spends around S100, said senior Gregg Knaupe. Well, close. The average cost for the entire night is around 5150, including the mum, dinner, etc. 'II think the guys need to be treated like this because we have to do it all year long, said Chad Davis.

Hard Rock invaded the Hot Spot on the night of April 25th for the third annual April Mad- ness Dance. The dance was sponsored by the Student Council and had the theme Hard Rock Cafe. Hard Rock Cafe-Pleasant Grove shirts were also sold during the week and at the dance for 57.50. The dance included a lip sync contest with acts such as David Lee Roth, the Jackson Five, the Raisins, Stryper, Jan- et Jackson, Madonna, the Boys From Delta House, the Shangrilas, and the Beastie Boys who went on to win the lip sync. For the first time in P.G. history, selected students as well as faculty were allowed to judge the lip sync acts. One of thejudges, Amy Copeland said, I thought it was a good idea to have student judges because we know what the majority of the student body likes. More than pride was at stake for the performer. There was a little money involved. First place re- ceived 55O, second place re- ceived 515, and third place got 510. The overall contest was won by the Beastie Boys, singing Fight For Your Right to Party. The Beastie Boys were made up of John Simpson, Keith Wood, Charles Young, Tommy Coleman, Dan Owens and John Hodges. Second place went to the Shangrilas who had a surprise member, Pleasant Groves very own junior En- glish teacher, Mrs. Karen Hundley. Third place, straight out of Animal House, went to the Boys From Delta House, singing Shout. Even Mr. Hailey said that the dance was one of the best yet. But what students consid- ered fun was the invitation to dance. lt started when Ed Zidd and The Boys from Delta House, invited the audience onto the stage to shout. From then on students crowd- ed to join the contestants. Principals and faculty ordered students off of the stage be- cause ofthe wood grain floor. 'll thought the dance was one of the biggest and best yet. Ev- eryone seemed to be enjoying themselves without too many problems, said principal Mr. Roger Hailey. Ed Zidd and the Boys from Delta House tell everyone to Shout a lit- tle bit louder. He later invited every- one on stage to shout with the group. Standing arm in arm, the Flints- tones and the Rubbles pose for a shapshot to give to Pebbles and Bam-Bam. Waiting for the Leader of the Pack. the Shangrilas were into the April Madness Dance.

From 'Moonligh ting' to Max Headroom, the news was filled with the year's Big Events rom terrorism to Top Gun, hot topics filled the news all year round. lt contained anything from music and movies, people and politics, new fads and new changes, to the ups and dovmms of the sports world. At the top of the news, in most students' opinion was terrorism. Between the hi- jackings and kidnappings in foreign countries, many be- gan to wonder how safe it was to travel outside the United States. lt seems like every time you turn around someone has been taken hostage or another country in the Middle East has gone to war, said Gerri Felling. Other than terrorism, the po- litical scene was busted wide open with the cover-up by the White House over the Contra Arms deal. I think President Reagan could have found a better way to get the hostages free with out having to sell arms to iran, stated Ronda Coleman. Also on students' minds was the growing threat of AIDS. The dreaded disease ended the lives ofthousands of people including that of the famous music entertain- 'A Mt: M wma aww W T er, Liberace. Death also marked the movie world with the loss of Cary Grant. The suave and debonair actor died at 82, giving his last per- formance at the Perot The- atre in Texarkana. Though most students didn't find much interest in the tragic news, they all seemed to keep up with what was hot . . . music, movies, celebrities, sports, and of course new fads. On that scene, students enjoyed rocking to the beat of live concerts, especially those of the up and coming, hot new groups. 'Seeing Bon Jovi in concert was awesome, said Jerry Moody. According to students, Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson were also among the popular singers. Then in flew the adventure film of the year, Top Gun. And along with it came its sizzling star Tom Cruise. But adventure wasn't the only thing that attracted movie- goersp comedy was also in the high ranks. Crocodile Dundee was one ofthe funni- est movies l've seen in a long time, said Craig Mueller. Movies however, didn't dominate everyone's atten- tion. Even in television, new stars seemed to be popping up everywhere. From the af- ter hours show Moonlighting came two of the year's most talked about celebrities, Cybil Shepard and Bruce Wil- lis. 'iThey are the HOTTEST couple on T.V., said Tam- mie Willett. And then like every year the sports world had its high and low points. With an in- vestigation by the NCAA, the SMU Mustangs received what was commonly knomm as the 'ideath penalty. This kept SMU from having a foot- ball team for the 1987 sea- son because they were caught paying recruits to come play for them. On a more positive side was Den- nis Conner and his Stars and Stripes. ln February, Conner and his crew came from Udovmm under and defeated the Aussies to bring the American Cup back home. Even though every year has its good points and bad points, most students agree that there are always things people will never forget.

Then it came. Finally, . . . Friday, 5:15, five minutes to go, and then it would be time for . . . The Great Escape! Students couldn't wait to break out from behind the school walls and put the wonies and pres- sures of homework, tests, and term papers out of their minds. Now, the plans for the week to come were top prior- ity. It was the beginning of fun, parties, rest, and relax- ation! Whether students stayed home or skipped tomm, ev- eryone was going to enjoy their time off for good be- havior. Between sunning on the beach or skiing on the slopes, students scattered, leaving T-Tovrm as a dot on the map. Some of the most popular destinations were the slopes of Colorado and New Mexico. For Susan Mohundro, the memories of her last high school Spring Break were of people and parties. I had so much fun. I met so many people, the skiing was great, and the parties were the best, she said. lt was just the break I needed. For many students, Winter Park, Colorado, was the best place to spend their time. Then there were those who didn't go just for the skiing. According to Stacey Hailey, the whole week was like one big party with everyone in Winterpark! Leigh Ann Fincher had her ovlm thoughts about the week. lt was like being out of jail: now I know what it's like to be on parole, she said. But, Colorado wasn't the only place that drew the ski crowd. I've skiied a lot of places, but I like Taos the best because it has a lot of hard slopes, said Paige Henson. However, the slopes didn't attract everyone: many peo- ple left for warmer climates. Ed Zidd headed south to visit Padre Island, Mexico, and Austin. 'lAfter laying out on the beach in Padre and danc- ing in the discos in Mexico, it was hard to go from 95 to snow in Dallas, he said. Phyllis Tipton saw every- thing from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Red Wood For- est during her trip to Califor- nia. And after visiting Beverly Hills, Universal Studios, and the beach, all Ronda Cole- man had to say was, ul wish I could be a Califomia Girl! Not everyone left the state of Texas. Some visited col- lege campuses, and there were some who stayed in Texarkana. For Dosha Hall and Matt Fellinger, the week off might have been relaxing but it was not much fun. These two were in the hospi- tal to have their tonsils re- moved. 'XAII I could eat was potato soup, jello, and ice cream, and I lived in the recliner with the TV Guide by my side, she said. But not everyone spent time at home recuperating. Some just bummed around and goofed off. And for those guys who stayed home be- cause of baseball, they seemed to find a few other things to do. According to Craig Schulz, he and some of his friends, killed a little bit of free time at the lake and caught a few catfish. Between the long sighs from having to come back to school, stories of Spring Break filled the air: Skiing was great! The beach was better. 'iYou'll never guess who I met! You won't be- lieve who I saw! We par- tied all week long! You should have been there! Spring Break 55 Despite the downpoun Promgoers experienced a S tango igh t n May 16th at8:OO, the only place the stars were shining was inside the Pleasant Grove Cafeteria at the Junior-Senior Prom. For the second consecutive year, rain tried to hinder the special event, but nothing could stop the silver stars sparkling against the black visqueen walls surrounding the students on the dance floor. Though some students were pessimistic about hav- ing the prom at the school, decorations totally transformed it into a very special atmosphere. i'Because we had the prom at the school, we had more money to spend on the prettiest decorations, said Phyllis Tipton. Over a thousand silver stars were placed on the walls, tables and ceiling. Walking through the black tunnel leading to in- side, l looked up at the stars dangling in the rain and wind, and l knew this would be a special night, said Ann Thomas. Mary Hancock added, lt was special having the prom at our school because that's where the rest of the special events of our senior year have taken place. 'll thought the atmos- phere was very romantic, said Gerri Felling, but my favorite part was racking up at the black jack tables. 5fH1'1Zl4 The casino seemed to be a very popular place for stu- dents to escape the fast beat of Phil and the Blanks. While in the casino, students played black jack and won prizes such as banana clips, visors, and games. The thousands of stars were enhanced by the attire ofthe prom goers. Lame'and sequins were most popular with girls while guys seemed to favor tuxes with tails. Tra- ditional taffeta was still seen but even the lace and taffeta were enhanced with rhine- stones. Regardless of attire or atmosphere, everyone agrees what makes prom night is a fun date. Paige Henson said, 'lEven though my date and I were just friends, we just relaxed and had a good time. Many peo- ple went in groups. Ann La- Cour said, My date and l en- joyed going with other couples. lt made ita lot more fun being together. Togetherness was the key to this prom's success. As students danced under the stars, they reflected on the years past and celebrat- ed the closing of a chapter in their lives.

But the Young's bam wasn't the only place post- prom goers went. To escape the fast pace, many couples resorted to somewhere quiet to watch a movie or just en- joy each other's company. Others attended parties then went home to crash and get ready for the day after. Todd Howren said, I don't remember what time we started the movies. I just remember waking up at five o'clock wondering why l wasn't at home. Friends and family Todd Jones, Bethany Goff, Ann Thomas, and Jared Jones pose for their parents' snapshots after graduation.

The mortar boards, only added to the ex- citment and ner- vousness as soon-to-be grad- uates lined up in the halls of the First Baptist Church. Seniors prac- ticed for bacca- laureate before school was out and then review- ed it all again the morning of grad- uation. But there were just some things that couldn't be prac- ticed. For one thing, just how are those collars supposed to fit on the girls' gowns? And there was the problem of sleeves hanging on the railings as students walked solemnly dovm the stairs. Despite the minor inconve- niences of heat and hats and sleeves, every- thing seemed to go off without a hitch. That is. until the very last graduate re- ceived his diplo- ma and headed dovsm the wrong row to another section of seats. About midway down the row, Mike Young re- membered his practice instruc- tions and re- tumed to sit with the other sen- iors.

Parents and friends crowd- ed into the huge auditorium, spilling over into the balcony. The school board and adminis- tration walked solemnly onto the stage as the pipe organ bel- lowed the processional. But upstairs, many of the faces were streaked with tears. l wasn't sad until tonight, said Phyllis Tipton. 'lWhen l saw everyone in their caps and goums, I realized that it was real- ly over. The big moment arrived fi- nally for the second graduating class on Friday night, .June 5. Most seniors had participated in Tears well up in Christy Patterson's eyes as she returns to her seat after receiving her diploma. Christy was an honor graduate. baccalaureate services on Sun- day, but even with the words of advice about the future, there was not that Hfinal feeling. The speeches by valedicto- rian Missy Phillips and salutato- rian Phyllis Tipton added to the feeling. Both spoke of memo- ries the class had shared and the opportunities that the fu- tures hold. The speeches made me cry, said Dana Brewington. 'lThey were sadder because they were so touching. Assistant Superintendent Jack Davis then called the names of the gradudates as members of the school board handed out diplomas, and there was scattered applause across the sanctuary for each senior. And there was an at- tempt to cheer at one point as the mood swung from sad- ness to excitement and antici- pation. l thought l heard some- one yell when Chad Mer- chant's name was called, said Bethany Goff. Everyone seemed to be excited about the whole thing at the end. After the last graduate was seated, Principal Roger Hailey asked the class to stand and the seniors per- formed their last act as the class of 19871 tuming their tassles, signifying that they were graduates. And then, as quickly as it had begun, the seryices were over, and the class of 1987 marched out, but with a little quicker step.

Academ 1cs345 Acodemic Expenditures Hord Closses Consume Time ond Mind ard classes. Exactly what are hard classes? Are they the classes that take up too much time, or the ones people have the most trouble with? Hard classes range from math and English to foreign lan- guages. Why do people take these classes? Freshman take them because they are required. A few, however, are taking them for advanced credit. Janet Macey's hardest class is Algebra l. She's taking it because l'm taking the advanced route in math. Other stu- dents' hardest classes are electives. Terri Rapier, whose hardest class is Spanish l says, I took it just as an elective. Many students take certain classes because they think they will be easy. Some are sur- prised at the work really involved. Office and counse- lor's workers are a good example. Most people think all they do is sit around and do nothing for an hour- not true. These workers rarely have free time: most of their time is spent getting students, picking up slips, filing cards and running errands. Of course, it's not a hard class , but few people realize the work they do. Are hard classes worth the trouble? Many stu- dents say, No! One freshman is taking Algebra I now instead of Pre-Algebra because, it will help me with the math classes l plan to take in the next couple of years. English is one of the hardest, students said and it is required for everyone. Most students feel English is worth the trouble, but a few do not. Do these classes take up a lot of time? The study period for these classes ranges from 15 min- utes to 1V2 hours. A few students don't study at all, and some said, it depends upon the length of the assignment. English assignments took up the most time. Greg Pinker, sophomore, studies up to 1V2 hours a day. Hard classes are time-consuming, but do they take up the most time? Amy Leary, junior, said En- glish is her hardest and most time consuming class. I have to read a lot in English and I have to understand what l'm reading. Amy also said she spends about one hour a day studying for English. English, for most students, is the most time-con- suming. Even those whose hardest class ii En- glish say they spend more time on it than on their hardest class. Some teachers, such as Mrs. Henry, offer all year passes to come in at 8:00 for extra help. The night Library also offers a place to study for that hard, time-consuming class. So however you view a hard class, there is always a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. -Angie Watson BIOLOGY I-HONORS STUDENTS GRAPI1 THE RESULTS OF an experiment on bacterial growth on antibiotics and anti- septics.

The air is cold, and heads are pounding as time ticks away. Faces show signs of bemlderment as students ponder over the irksome problems and wonder what possessed them to rise at 8:00 on a Saturday morning. Somehow everyone falls vic- tim to the testing dilemma. The ACT fSAT tests are designed to show overall high school achievement and determine entrance to colleges and universities. While the college tests show overall knowledge, they also infest students with anxiety and stress. Kim Wal- ton explains, lf your test date just happens to fall on a bad day, or a day when you're sick, it could affect your score. lf the test date happens to fall on an off day, students are allowed to retest as many times as they want. Senior Mark Hawkins took the SAT sev- en times. Mark said, The first three times l took the test l was nervous, the second three times l was a little relaxed and by the last time l felt very confident. He added that he seemed to score bet- ter if he went out and partied the night before in- stead of staying home to study and go to bed ear- ly. Of course the testing is not free: the SAT test cost S-11.50, while the ACT costs 510.50 a test. Both tests are usually given about once a month. To eliminate the need to retest, some stu- dents go to vast extremes to prepare for these mind bogglers. Preparation books for both exams are the most popular and inexpensive source of help. These books range in cost from five to twelve dollars. Preparation courses cost close to two hundred dollars. Either of these methods can help but they won't do much good unless you have previous knowledge of the testing areas. Besides the college entrance exams, stan- dardized testing in the form of CAT fCalifomia Achievement Testi and TEAMS fTexas Education Assessment of Minimum Skillsj were given to un- derclassmen. Of course, seniors were excused but freshmen, sophomores, and juniors fell victim to the moming's long confinement for a series of days. Finally the testing is over and students walk out into the fresh air and release their tension. Brains are drained of every last thought, and sto- machs growl at the 12:00 time. For the moment, the pressure is off . . . until scores are received and the process begins once again. b -'-H-24-..-... ,Ni MM .....,,:-ii., i-nw.-W. 5 .. -Le. . .Sai 48E?tCademics WHILE TAKING THE FEBRUARY ACT TEST at Texarkana Com- munity College, Seniors Chad Merchant and Brian Norton re- lax during a five minute break.

This was the ap- proach many students took when choos- ing electives. But with the new academic stan- dards in place and new requirements for grad- uation with honors, students had a much more difficult decision on their hands. Plus, with the wide range of options available to Pleasant Grove students, everything from the- atre arts to drafting - the choice was tough. lt is hard deciding what to take because you won't know if it's the right choice until you're in college, remarked Todd Sharp. This difficult task took place during March. Students started with the basic deci- sions of English, math and history. This was the easy part: the next fifteen minutes were spent on their electives. Students had to pick four electives and decide which two they wanted to take the most and put the other two down as alternatives. After students strained their brains and used their spare time, faculty members set up stations in the five hundred hall to help students fill out their choice sheets. Among the faculty that helped were Jack Davis, Margaret Davis, Debbie Sapaugh, and Roger I-lailey. Every student in grades 9-11 was aided during their English class. Seniors had the pleasure of missing out on the 'igreat event. We're so glad we don't have to worry about that anymore, said Kim Harrell and Angie Watson. On the other hand, some of the seniors wish they would have done a better job of selecting their electives. I wish l would have made a better deci- sion about my electives. Instead of putting dovm choices that my friends did, l wish I would have thought about my future, added Becky Smith. Not all seniors forgot about their future. Jeff White explained, l wanted some kind of drafting back- ground so l could go into my dad's business, and l took business law just for business purposes. Not all students chose courses for their future. Some took coursesjust for fun. Whether for busi- ness or pleasure, students eventually came out on top.

For most students this meant that the rest of the day would be relaxed. But for many students, the bell to end school sent them rushing to their jobs to begin work. From waiting tables to sacking groceries, Pleasant Grove students worked hard for their money. A part-time job had its advantages: extra spending money, experience, and a feeling of ma- turity. But, it also had its disadvantages. One ma- jor problem was the lack of time for homework. Since students had to work nights they put in some late hours.

Students com- ing in to take tests at night soon found out that the dress code was the same even when the sun went dovm. With the opening of the library on Tuesday and Thursday nights this past year, stu- dents were given the chance to make up work or do some extra research. Since the new library facilities were so mod- ern, students relied on the school library instead of travelling to TC or the public library. I used to have to go to the TC library, but this year our li- brary had almost enough information to do my re- search paper, said Todd Martin. The library also helped students on things be- sides research.

Students also took advantage of night library by taking tests. If they missed a test in class and it was an excused absence, students were allowed to take it at night. Teachers had a different opinion about making up tests. 'II think students feel less obligation to be in class be- cause ofthe convenience of taking it at night li- brary, said Mrs. Ables. Regardless ofthe opinion ofthe value of night library, all agreed that the new library facility was a much needed improvement. New books, TV and VCR equipment, and a microfiche machine gave students a little extra advantage in class, and the night library gave them a little extra time to study.

Seniors faced it all year but especially in the spring. Once again, it was time for seniors to make college choices. Many seniors started applying to colleges at the begin- ning of the year. As in the past, several colleges and universi- ties came to Pleasant Grove for College Day. Re- presentatives informed juniors and seniors about their colleges and what they had to offer. 'llt gave me a brieflook at a lot of schools and helped me narrow dovlm my choices, said senior Jimmy Townsend. After listening to many reps, seniors were even more confused. I've visited many different places and all of them seem so good in almost all respects, said senior Sharon Jacobs. lt's really hard to decide where you want to spend the next couple of years. Many students put off their decision to the end, although some knew from the beginning where they wanted to go. Melinda Birge, who is go- ing to Baylor, said, The times I visited I was im- pressed not only with the high academic stan- dards but with the overall spirit and unity of the student body. Some seniors had a little different decision to make. These were the student athletes who had to choose between the various colleges offering DAVID HARVEY, PATTI SCOTT AND DAN OWENS G0 INTO THE GYM FOR A PRESENTATion before the juniors and sen- iors went around and talked to college representatives. REBECCA SIMS SIGNS HER LETTER OF INTENT TO TEXAS ARM WHILE COACH TOOMBS and Mr. Carozza look on. Sims was one of several athletes to receive an athletic scholarship. scholarships. They were recruited by many col- leges, and their decisions were based not on cost or location but on athletic reputation and the amount of scholarship offered. Senior athletes faced phone calls from coaches, xdsits to the col- leges, and constant pressure. But it was a fun ex- perience despite the confusion. l'It made me feel good, said senior Dosha Hall. I've always liked athletics, and I'm glad I will be playing volleyball in college. Dosha received a 115 scholarship to Abilene Christian University. Another athlete who received a scholarship was golfer Rebecca Sims who chose Texas A8rM. Receiving a scholarship shows that all the hard work and sacrifices are worthwhile, Sims said. It makes you want to work harder. Other students applied for and received aca- demic scholarships. Most of these were not awarded until graduation, but they included full and partial scholarships to such schools as UT, A8rM, Baylor, Arkansas, and Abilene Christian. Whatever end seniors were on, having schools ask, or applying to various colleges, it was a tough decision.

This was only one of the ways teachers and students leamed creatively and it paid off - academics were fun, at least part of the time. The English department created many new projects, including the infamous Senior Scrap- books. Although these collections of memora- bilia were occasionally under close scrutiny by the administration, they were one of the most popular senior assignments. Senior English classes constructed the scrapbooks from me- mentos that had been collected from activities, and included items such as candlewax from the homecoming ceremonies and dead duck heads from hunting expeditions. The scrapbooks are going to be neat to ' look back on, said Paige Henson. lt's some- thing that will always remind the seniors of what happened during the year. Another popular project took place in physics class, where stu- dents wrote and performed a wave rap using physics concepts and their ovm creativity. During the physics rap, we not only sung, but we also leamed various types of wave mo- tions and how they move, said Tricia Brackeen. Research was a project word that brought hor- ror to English students, but this year seniors ap- proached the problem of doing research papers with a slightly different attitude. Instead of put- ting it off until the last few weeks, seniors opted to get papers out of the way early.

Students complain about them more than they actually work on them. Of course, the new before-Christmas deadline did not keep some students from complaining or from tuming their papers in to Mrs. Ables late. And juniors and sopho- mores still had to wait it out until the last six weeks to do their research. But before research could be done, junior English students were assigned Family Folklore Albums. ul realized sometime ago that there were many stories and customs in each family that were not being passed down, said English teacher Karen Hundley. The purpose ofthe albums is to get students to leam about their families and the specialness of each family. Juniors collected photographs, a family tree, letters, and recipes, and writings about their special family cus- tom in an album and then shared with their class about their family. But all the projects weren't in English classes. For in- stance, Cathy Halterbaum's honor biology class played with Jello. Students examined different kinds of cells and then made these cells with Jello and fmit. However, the fun part was eating their paramecium creations. Students in Personal Business Management took part in another project that actually helped them understand the business world. Mrs. Beth Sullivan's students per- formed job interviews and recorded them on videotape to cntique later. Whatever the class, projects helped relieve the mo- notony of taking notes and, in some cases, brought out the creativity in otherwise bored students. . fm... .

Proj 9 Procrice makes perfect UIL Winners give up Saturdays and Every year when springtime rolls around, the University Scholastic League fU.I.L.J competitions come along with it. This is the time when students from area schools come together for one day of district competition. But instead of competing with skills of agility and strength, they used men- tal quickness and powers of recall. Yet every student had their oum reasons for competing in a U.l.L. meet. Some wanted to win and go to state, while others did it for the chal- lenge. i'lt's important to put yourself to the test to see how good you are compared to other schools, said Jared Jones, who competed in edi- torial writing. What kind of student does it take to compete in U.l.L? Amy Graves said it takes initiative and a drive to win. Students and teachers had to get up early sev- eral different weekends to attend far-off meets, such the Robert E. Lee meet in Tyler. These same students attended practices during the week to measure their ovim ability against other P.G. stu- dents to see who would be the final few to actually compete. PREPARING TO COMPETE IN THE UIL MEET, DARCI ROWLEY takes another practice test for the math number sense cate- gory. During the meets, several students did place. Pleasant Grove came out on top overall in the Robert E.

On The Rood Agoin Field' Trips givgsrudenrs o chonce to leorn outside the clossroom X X o we get out of class? Can we miss more than one? These are common questions every teacher hears when considering a field trip. Being able to miss class is what most students call a successful field trip. However, others feel that going on a field trip is notjust missing school but a way to enrich their knowledge. For example, by touring lntema- tional Paper Co., students in Mrs. Gross advanced accounting class were able to see the process reg- ular notebook paper goes through before enter- ing the stores. I never realized what it took just to make paper, commented Jennifer Hopkins. Mr. Patrick's biology ll class went about field trips a different way. lnstead of missing school, they made an after school excursion. After going out to eat, Mr. Patrick and a few students drove out to the shuffel where they caught different kinds of birds to study. We caught a Red Tail Hawk and an American Castro Falcon in a wire trap with nooses that we made ourselves, said Jimmy Tovmsend. There is always a process that must be taken before going on a field trip. The administration must have information from the teacher involving all the details of the trip: where the students will be going, how long it will take, and how many will demics be going. After the administration gives the OK , the trip has to be cleared with the business or company that is involved. Mr. Henderson said he feels that field trips have value to the students' education. He thinks if they are supervised in a well manner and if the teacher wil take time to test or have an evaluation of what the students have leamed, the trip would not just be a day of missing school. Drama students gained a better understand- ing of how the theater works by visiting the Perot Theater. They told us about the history of the Perot Theater and how the lighting and sound systems work, said Becky Smith. 'llt was interesting see- ing how a real theater works. Mr. Carozza and Mrs. Phillips took their stu- dents to Shreveport to visit the General Motors plant, SPAR planetarium, and a NASA exhibit. We saw how they assembled Broncos at GM and saw spaceships and rockets at NASA, ex- plained Crerri Felling. Overall, field trips have been found as a fun approach to education. While students gain knowledge, they also get a break from the every- day class. Page Sponsor SOUTHERN ICE Sr 102 Oak Street tw ist 1-wx. S -Q .N STANDING IN WAIT FOR THE NEXT TOUR MRS.

Thor Senior feeling . . . A yeor spent looking oheod ond behind As their senior year began, they seemed to revert back to elementary days - they were carrying lunchboxes portraying pictures of Charlie Brovm, Strawberry Shortcake, etc. Sure the new campus was great, but closed campus had to go, along with the one hour class period. Well, the seniors never won that battle. They continued to stay at school and cram dovim their food in thirty-five minutes and to struggle through sixty minute classes. But they overcame many other battles during 86-87. The responsibility of being the old- est was not all glamour. They were to make or break many traditions. Their ac- tions at TOGA pep rally determined iors, TOGA was full of spirit and fun. Before long, football was over, and everyone gathered for the last Sr. Bum pep rally. After watching a slide presen- tation of the football season, seniors huddled onto the gym floor to sing the school song together. Time passed, and seniors remained busy with research papers, senior fol- ders, and preparation for college. Finally came the prom. The night of the thousand stars was a night to re- member for the seniors. For some, it was a night of elegance, others a night of dreams. The stars reflected off of the eyes gleaming at one another with fasci- nation. It was the last time for the 150 Sr. banquet as well as graduatic proved to everyone that the class 87' was a class of togethemess. Mrs. Lori Ables was one of mar teachers who hated to see the leave. Because last year was my year to have a senior class, I knew would be hard to let go. But have been formed between this class that I don't think will be after graduation. This year's class shovm more spirit and than any other class. When gets suggested, they exceed the pectations. They want to be nary and leave something to be membered. l love them more whether this tradition would be contin- pair of feet to dance on the floor togeth- ever! ued.

DESTRY CRAGEN Seniors 67 It oll odds up Seniors find the yeor costly he thought of being a senior was an exciting one when the school year began. But as the year progressed, seniors soon realized the price they had to pay. The cost of being a senior could add up pretty quickly. Early in the summer, many sets of uniforms were ordered for various orga- nizations. Drill teamers ordered new uni- forms. lt seemed like a payment was due every week. I still haven't fiished paying for everything, said Crerri Fel- ling. Guys also complained about money. Dates, gas, and weekend money took a big chunk out of their pockets. Even before school started, seniors were picking their pockets for extra cash. Paying for lD's, lockers, parking places, not to mention senior pictures, all took a sizable amount of a seniors's funds. Then as the school year started, yearbooks, SPARKS, and senior folders hit. After I got a job, my parents seemed to think I didn't need any more money. I found out my ovim money didn't go that far, said Greg Harkrider. Some parents chipped in when it came to new clothes and graduation. But seniors saved for months preparing for the prom. Dresses and tuxes were bought and plans were made for a great time. Dinner before the prom at restau- rants such as Oliver Twist and Park Place added to prom expenses. Seniors proved that you could have a good time - if you had the money. MCDST PCDPULAR Being hot at the hot spot re- quires more than just a good per- sonality or being smart. UI think the person who receives the most popular award should be some- one who the students look up to and admire, said senior Kim Harrel. This is the case when it comes to Mark Hawkins and Chris- ty Patterson. During their twelve years at the Crrove, they have been very involved in school activities. Christy has been a cheerleader for eight years and has always been active in Student Council, Keyettes, and U.l.L. competition. In addition, she was elected Christy Patterson and Mark Hawkins take time out from their busy schedules to pose in the school cafeteria as Most Popular. Gooting around is one of the many talents per- Homecoming Queen twice. Be- sides his presidential activities, Mark was on the varsity football team this year. . if-:ffl-1, . .N 3. Q .Q - . .

This is Friday. This is the pep rally. But, is this The Grove?l Are these the same seniors who never dress differently from anyone else? Of course they are, and it all began as . . . . . .The car door opened. Two bright yellow duck feet appeared. Could it be Duey Duck? The scene was the same in other cars around the parking lot. A punk- rocker joined the duck on the sidewalk, while the Bride of Frankenstien and Raggedy Ann sauntered behind. The occasion was the Halloween pep rally, and seniors were the main attrac- tion. l'l've never seen as much student in- volvement by the seniors as there was at the Halloween pep rally, said Lori Ables, At first, they groaned and complained about coming in costume.

MOST BEAUTIFUL - MOST HANDSOME MOST ATHLETIC Some say beauty is only skin deep, but for most beautiful, Gretchen Lemke, and most handsome, Tony Wiltshire, the P.G. student body seems to think otherwise. I think Tony is good looking, but he also has a great personality and gets along well with everyone! said Angie Watson. Paul Granberry had a similar opinion about Gretchen. She can always bring out the best in people, he said. But don't count out looks. Gret- chen was a Homecoming maid for four years, and Tony was chosen to appear Elected Most Beautiful and Most Handsome were Gretchen Lemke and Tony Wiltshire. on the Y-Teens Calendar for several years. Another thing that counts to Tony is sports, especially football. There is no doubt why he received most athlet- ic, because he was one of three foot- ball players in the entire district who was chosen unanimously for the all- district team. Dosha Hall, most athlet- ic girl, was chosen as the districts Most Valuable Player in volleyball. l would like to play volleyball in college, and I'm hoping this will help me in get- ting a scholarship, she said.

Seniors 75 The Ups ond Downs of being on Office Aide Seniors doy, 'Somebody hos to do if' unning around and getting people out of class usually isn't legal. But for some senior office aides it is. Last year seniors were offered the privilege of helping out in the office for an elective credit. Many seniors opted to be an aide this year just because they thought it would be an easy class. But Ronda Coleman revealed another side ofthe story. I miss having a homeroom and voting in special elections because l'm an aide second period. But I do like working with the staff, she said. The administrators use office aides to run messages to the classes and keep up with the absentees. Mrs. Brovm said they definitely help. Coleman recom- mended it to any junior who wanted to become familiar with how the school op- erates. So if you want to roam the halls and have a good excuse, being an office aide mightjust be for you. i'It's a class with no homework and just a few respon- sibilities, said Ann LaCour, l get sick of mnning up and dovsm the stairs, but it is usually fun. OFFICE AIDE TIFFANY PATE RUNS HER REGU LAR ROUTINE of picking up the absentee slips MR. AND MISS PGHS The drum rollp the envelope: anxious faces: two remaining pla- ques: a perfect setting for the ending of the favorites assembly. Mr. Davis opened the last envelope and an- nounced, Mr. and Miss PCrrlS are Susan Mohundro and Trace War- ren. The crowd is amused as the two come from opposite sides of the gym. Trace and Susan have dated for nearly four years, but were not speaking during the awards assem- bly, which may be part of their chami. 'iWe're just a cute couple, Trace said. Mr. and Miss PGHS, Susan Mohundro and Trace Warren pose in front of the famous Pleasant Grove statue, which is located in the front of the new high school.

Dylan is witty, fun to be around, and he always can make you see the bright side of things, stated senior Lacie Chambers. Having people like David, Ronda, and Dylan in school keeps an ordinary day from getting dull!

X Better lote thon never Tordy policy gets students on the move The bell rings at 8:20, and stu- dents hurry through the heavy metal doors to make their way to first period before the tardy bell rings. The second bell rings, and people run frantically through the halls just in time to be tar- dy. Darrah, Coach Womack calls out, 'lyou're tardy again. Take this note to Mr. Hailey. The administra- tion felt that tardies were a big prob- lem this year. Mr. Henderson said, l'The tardy policy was set up to help students who want to leam without distractions. The second time you were tardy, a letter was sent home. The waming letter has a good point, it lets your par- ents realize your tardies and miscon- duct, said senior, Mark Hawkins. After a third tardy you received, the punishment becomes three licks CS or five days detention. However, some students needed more correction. lsola- tion was the last altemative in the tardy policy. Students who had all ofthe other punishment had no other choice than to spend one day in A.E.l., being secluded from the rest of their friends and faculty. Those who could make it to class on time felt the tardy policy worked. Senior Craig Schulz said, UI feel a student has plenty of time between classes and hef she needs to plan ahead before going to the next class. Whatever the consequences, most students did their best to get to class on time. And if they didn't, well, there's al- ways next period. knvm TAYLOR Emors A DAILY smou, THROUGH THE 500 hall, dressed in punky attire from the lst Senior Halloween Pep Rally.

We go to the concerts to get away from the same old thing - there's more excitement where the concerts are, said Brandy Nelson. Concerts weren't the only things going on, but were the most talked about and most exciting happenings. Several concerts have been in the surrounding area including Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Dokken, Hooters, Lov- erboy, Cinderella, Journey, Ratt, and more. Only one rock concert has been to Texarkana in several years. Will there be more to come? No one will know until it happens. Students have shown that they want more concerts to come to Texarkana.

Let's check this stuff off. Ready? i'Pillow, blanket, ice chest, food bag, walkman, and uniform. Check. Remembering these items is essen- tial to students riding on the bus. Road trips are common on game nights when the team plays out of town. Athletes dif- fer, however, in their opinions toward the trips on the bus. Some can take it, and some can leave it. On the domm side, junior Ed Zidd said, 'il don't care much for the road trips. There's a lot of out-of-tune singing, and I miss my Friday night date. Senior Dosha Hall said that it's not so bad except for the bumping up and dovrm, but, lfwe lose, wejust get on the bus, find a seat, get a blanket, be quiet, and go to sleep. Drill team members have a totally different point of view about road trips. Seniors rule the bus: they pick the seats and the music. But, every now and then a road trip can tum into a sticky situa- tion. Once we went to an out of tovrm si, asses ? 4. gi ,af K tiwfusiw I f ' ,Q-' game, and there was no dressing rooms for us to change in. We had to cover up the windows and dress on the bus. lt was kind ofembarrassingf' said sophomore Bethany Goff. But, what is a school road trip without moon burgers? And what is a moon burger you might wonder? Ask any athlete, drill team, or band mem- ber, and they can tell you. lt is a bolog- na sandwich with a packet of mayo, a bag of potato chips, a twinkie, and a napkin all in a yellow-and-white striped paper sack with the words 'imoon burger written on it. Despite moon burgers and the bumping bus, road trips can have a positive side. uWin or lose, road trips are O.K., but when we win, we really party. lt's also a chance to get together and celebrate as one, said Patricia Russell.

Why would these students pay money to take a class they knew wouldn't count as a credit and came with a lot of homework? Because at the end of the four week course, these students will take a test given by the Texas De- partment of Public Safety. The Drivers Education students who pass the written test will then receive a learners permit which enables them to drive with an adult in the front seat of a car. After twelve years of teaching Driv- er's Ed., Mr. Boozer has made it with- out any serious accidents and feels if they put forth the effort in class they might save a life later on the road. Melanie Wilson said she thought driver's ed would help her become a more defensive driver. On the other hand, Missy Ward said, ul just took the class so l could get my license right after my birthday. . will mu ' . -M . ii fzf' , ,ii 1 Angie Oliver-9 ,.,, Steven O'l'leal-10 Andrea Otwell-9 Paul Oubre-10 Dan Owens-11 Colton Pannell-9 Dusty Pannell-11 E.J.

If the nickname fits, weor it hat do Snake, PAW, and Howie Krantz have in common? They are all students at the Grove that are plagued with nicknames. Nicknames seem to be a good way for friends to kid each other. Some nicknames arejust a take-off on their real name, but others are based on personality. Trace Warren earned the nickname Thicket because he is always trying to make his hair look thicker. Some people got their nickname a long time ago. Da- vid Oliver has been known as Snake as long as anyone can remember, and Shannon RaffaelIi's dad gave her the nickname Boo-Boo when she was little. Wendy Ratcliff could be knovsm as the girl with the most nicknames. PAW, Mary Wopner, and Rat all describe Wendy. They always kid me, and it gets so old. lt can be funny but sometimes I think l'll never hear the end of it, she said. Tricia Brackeen wonders why she ever got the nickname, Tweety. l guess fib .Qlasses it'sjust because I look like a funny, yel- low bird, Tricia said.

How about, Goldie, we're trying to practice! ? Or maybe, lt's just not fair that teachers get to cut! ? lf any of these phrases sound familiar, they should. They are only a few of the most common occurrences around campus. IMHO' lt's two weeks before school. The football team is in the pit, the band is on the practice field, and the drill team is on the back patio: all are getting ready for the upcoming school year. So, what's unusual about this? Nothing, ex- cept for the addition of a new member - Goldie, a golden retriever belonging to Chad Davis. Goldie became the school's second mascot by running with the football team, marching down the field with the band, and getting the drill team's kicks a little higher fmainly because they were kicking at herb. Everyone was amused, except Ms. McCoart, Mr. Cobb, and the coaches, ,SQ said Ronda Coleman. They tried to run her offthe field, but she wanted to sneak around and watch. Another common occurrence was the frequently needed assistance of a maintenance man. Mr. l-lailey typically came on the intercom and said, Donnie Friend, could you come to the office, please. Donnie's name over the inter- com was more than a common occur- rencep it was a sure bet everyday until Donnie left for the army reserves in Jan- uary.

But when Donnie was called any other time, 'il always had to do the dirty work, like cleaning up the bathrooms, he said. I-low about this one?

HI usually come home, relax for awhile, run some errands and do what is on the schedule for that night, said Senior Amy Campbell. Some of the students' favorite activ- ities at P.Ci. are as follows: 1. Aerobics: The best exercise to lose some pounds. 2. Playing a sport: Practicing for the big game. 5. Shopping: The most popular pas- time 4. Work: 9 to 5 really takes up a lot of time. 5. Relaxing: Reading your favorite book. 6. Sleeping: Everyone's favorite thing to do. 7.

And then there are study habits. These are the things that decide if you are prepared for class or not. There are a variety of study habits that classify stu- dents, such as: 13 afternooners - people who do their homework right when they get home. Calways have it done3 23 latenighters -those who start around 9 or 10 o'clock to begin studying. tstay up into the wee hours Qt they get it done3 53 procrastinators - people who say they'll do it later, After all, tomorrow is another day. 43 pressure-cookers -these are like pro- crastinators but they race against the clock and work right up until time for ho- mework or tests. Calways seem to get it done3 53 crammers - people who never study until they just have to and then try to learn a whole semester in one night. tal- ii l IBSSCS ways have black circles and bags under their eyes on the day of the test3 63 serious studier - always prepared and organized-studies everyday until time for the test 2V2 weeks away. 73 partier - this is the person who get a bunch of friends together, raids the gro- cery store for munchies, listens to mu- sic, and studies all at the same time. The general consensus is mainly the same among students. Most put it off until late at night, some get it done and some finish it at school. l always have things to do after school, so l usually end up doing my homework later that night, said jr. Don Simpson. Though most people fall into one category or an- other, they all realize tsome quicker than others3 that you have to hit the books if you want to pass. CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

They have also stayed busy preparing for meetings, staying up to date with school happenings, and attending school events. Each member is very loy- al to the school and its programs. Their loyalty is enhanced by the hamionious support of the community members. School board member Jimmy Cobb said, I feel that one of the reasons our board is effective as a team is due to the mutual respect and high regard we have for each other and our sincere desire to do the best job we can for our communi- ry.

We wanted to do some- thing to help out the students and the school so we checked people's tires and to see if they were wear- ing their seatbelt, said Sharon Turk. lf they did have on their seatbelt, then their name went into the drawing for a telephone an- swering machine. This wasn't the only project we did but we felt that this would help students the most. Student Council also deliv- ered a smoking and drunk driving campaign. They also contributed the vending machines in the lunchroom, and they arrived early one morning to wash windows. Every organization contributed somehow to the school or to the community in some fonn or fash- ion. We had to use our free time for school organizations, but when it was all over it was worth it, said Allen Boyd.

Some of the biggest parties of the year, however, were held at lo- cal restaurants.

On the boys' side of the locker room, the Varsity football team finished their first winning season and their basketball teams were off to an ex- plosive start.

The goals were simple, to have he best team possible and most im- ortantly, to have a winning season. his doesn't sound like much, but it as something the Hawks had been nable to do in two tries. This year the awks had two advantages. First is the ddition ofthe nineteen third-year var- ity seniors. Seniors are always an im- ortant part ofa football team and this gain proved to be true. Second is the even new coaches added to the staff. erry Fausett, Bill Niven, David Pitts, on Holly, Bob Carter, Jon Davis and Mike Walsh were all first year coaches at l'The Grove and in the words of Coach Toombs, They did a greatjob. These men and the nineteen seniors guided the Hawks to an impressive 6-5-1 record- the best in our high school's history. The Hawk's first game of the year was against the Maud Cardinals. Though the Hawks could practice out- side only once during the week due to rain, it didn't seem to hinder them as the Hawks recorded a 50-O shutout over the Cardinals. P.C1.'s next game against the even- tual class ISA state champion Jefferson Bulldogs was not as thrilling. The Hawks were defeated 50-21. Though the Jefferson game was a disappointing defeat for the Hawks, th ey bounced back the next week to beat the Commerce Tigers 9-7. This was the Hawks first road game victory in history. The win was a big one for the Hawks, but senior tailback Tony Wiltshire received an injury to his shoulder which kept him out of the next game against De Kalb. Even without Wiltshire, P.G. held it's omm against the Bears, tieing them 7-7. The Bears eventually went on to the state playoffs with Hooks.

The Hawks closed out the 1986 season with a hard fought 10-7 win. The margin of victory was provided by sophomore kicker Brian Baker's fourth quarter field goal. Though the Hawks didn't make the playoffs, they had a successful season by anyone's standards. The shutouts over Maud, Queen City, and Atlanta were the first in the school's history, and the 6-5-1 record was the best ever. The Hawks established themselves as a team not to be overlooked by any team - at any time. The new coaching staff wasn't the only contribution to the Hawks' suc- cess, said coach Johnny Toombs. Hard work, players urging each other on, and senior leadership made us all change for the better. We finally got the chance to show that we are not just 'good losers', but 'good winners.

Hawks' ups and downs cause I-lot and ith the loss of three starters in- cluding the district's second leading scorer from the previous year, the outlook for the P.Ci. Hawks 86-87 basketball season was less than opti- mistic. The Hawks, however, did have a few bright spots going into the season. The addition of one of the top coaches in the state of Arkansas in Bill Niven and the arrival of a couple of transfers did give the Hawks some hope. And, of course, the Hawks did have two retum- ing starters from last season. After losing their first three games of the season to two larger schools, one of which was the defending state cham- pion, the Hawks won eight straight games while winning two toumaments and knocking off three playoff-bound teams in the process. We did a lot bet- ter than anyone expected us to do this season. And we did it with just two sen- iors, so we will be back, said junior Charles Young.

Our record didn't show it, but we had a pretty good season this year. lf nothing else, it was exciting, said senior David Fausett. At one point the Hawks found them- selves tied for second place with the state's third ranked team, Queen City, and trailing the state's top ranked team, Hughes Springs, by only one game. The Hawks seemed to be in good shape to possibly get a playoff berth, but late sea- son heartbreaking losses to Hooks, Queen City, and Atlanta ruined the Hawk's playoff hope. lt was definitely a team effort this season. We couldn't have functioned as well as a team with- out any individual player, said junior Randy Henderson. continued on page 148 DRIVING IN FOR AN EASY LAYUP, STEVE CUL- LING GOES up against Hughes Springs in a dis- trict game.

When the 1986-87 Lady Hawks basketball schedule began, the team was still in the thick of their volleyball sched- ule. Only upon their retum from the State toumament in Austin were the Lady Hawks able to begin practice and start playing bas- ketball. Due to this set back, the Lady Hawks had only one game in their pre-season schedule. Three games at the top of the list were can- celled, but when the Lady Hawks finally opened their season against Texas High ear- ly in December, they proved they could play. After defeating the Ben-Gals 42-55, the team jumped into their toumament and District slate. Shanon Ross, team starter, said this about the Texas High game, Everybody was tired after playing volleyball, so we really didn't play up to par. By the second half of the game, we were playing better ball. ln the Linden-Kildare toumament, the Lady Hawks place third by defeating Clarks- ville and Queen City, and in the Clarksville toumey, the team bounced back from a Dis- trict-opening loss to Hughes Springs and beat Paris, Delialb, and Clarksville for the toumament title. After a hard loss to New Boston, the Hawks entered their joint toumament with Hooks, where they picked up another win and two more losses for their record. The next three games were a little down- hill forthe Lady Hawks. They lost those three to Paul Pewitt Q51-473, Hooks Q25-583, and Linden-Kildare 457-585. The team then beat Delialb 51-52 and lost again to Queen City, .lunlor Varsity. Back!! Stephanie Gordon, Beth Rash. Brandy Collins. Shana Johnson, Allison Chambers.

The second half of the District slate was a little brighter for the Lady Hawks, who had victories over DeKalb and Atlanta. They played hard against future District 15-5A play-off representatives New Boston and Hooks, but came up short both times. The team ended the season on a high note, how- ever, beating Atlanta, 45-52. Through the course of the season, team members of the Lady Hawks received many honors. As a result of their win at the Clarksville toumey, Senior Dosha Hall and Junior Sha- non Ross were named to the all-toumament team. Dosha and Shanon were again recog- nized, Dosha on the first team, and Shanon, along with Senior teammate Rachel Gwinn an the second, when All-District 15-5A hon- ors came out. The Lady Hawks finished with a record of eleven wins and twelve losses. Their dis- trict record came out very similar to their sea- son record, but on a smaller scale. Five wins and six losses went dovlm as the way the Lady Hawks finished their district season.

The Hawks' staged a dramatic come-from-behind fourth inning. During the fourth, the Hawks' scored seven runs. They held the Rabbits and went on to win. During the fifth inning of the second district meeting between the Hawks and Dekalb, Pleasant Grove turned the first triple play in the school's history. The triple play was set up with the bases loaded and no outs. The DeKalb player hit a hard line drive to second baseman E. J. Pate. E. J. snared the ball and got the first out: he then threw to third baseman Skipper Hastings, who caught the runner off base for the second out. Skipper fired the ball to shortstop Van Morris, who tagged the runner as he was trying to get back to second base. The triple was the turning point for the SENIOR CRAIG SCHULZ WATCHES THE PITCHER CAREFULLY as the Linden-Kildare player steps up to the plate in the fifth inning.

Jeff Wright start- ed the game, holding the Tigers to five hits and striking out seven. Jeff went the dis- tance for the Hawks, improving his record to 5-5. Seniors Craig Schulz and Trace Warren and sophomore Skipper Hastings all had singles in the game. Coach Mike Burks, who also coached last year's Area Championship team said, it was our best game of the year. The Hawks did have their set backs: however, losing three District games to Queen City, New Boston, and dropping a 14-O decision that was stopped at the end of the filth inning because of the 10-run rule. The Hawks also had their share of in- juries. Hawk players Kenny Davis, E. J. Pate, and Trace Warren were out due to in- juries.

Q as Take me out to the ballgame Hawks catch winning season fContinued from page 1601 E. J. Pate was out with a deeply bruised ankle. Trace Warren and Kenny Davis were injured off of the baseball fields. Trace sprained his ankle during a volley- ball game and was out for one game. Kenny cracked his left elbow during a basketball game and was out for three weeks. All three players came back from their injuries in great shape and contin- ued to play well. The good overall health of the team was a factor in the Hawks' season. The Hawks' district games were tough: each team had to be played twice. First baseman Trace Warren said he thought the Hawks' district 15-5A is, one of, if not THE hardest districts in the state. Coach Burks expected his team to be, ucompetitive every time they Sponsor STATE FARM INSURANCE Ron Morrow, Agent play. He also felt that even though the Hawks weren't usually a favorite, they had, as good a chance as anybody. Another factor in the Hawks' season was the tremendous amount of spirit the team had. The dugout was never quiet: each team member had his ovm special saying or noise. From Trace Warren's, come on, baby, come on, what do you say to Kenny Davis' James Brovm yell, the Hawks kept their spirit up. Senior Van Morris expected the Hawks to Uplay well and have a lot of team spirit and pride. The Hawks al- ways showed their pride and spirit. Loyal fans also showed their pride and sup- port by attending the games and helping keep the team's spirit up. There was nev- er a dull moment at any of the games.

At the end of the year, students saw the difference for themselves. Spint was apparent in the school through out all of the sports seasons, as well as other events. New facilities took credit for some ofthe excitement, but the fact that Pleasant Grove's sec- ond graduating class was about to take that big step encouraged pride as well. Rules were tolerated until the end, with a few exceptions, and even lunch was something students looked for- ward to. Support of other students was common, along with encouragement and special boosts when they were needed. Friends realized that it was time to move on, however. Sure the friend- ships would remain, but new ones would be made also. Memories of spe- cial times, such as the last pep rally and Homecoming, would always be re- membered. Activities, other than school relat- ed ones, were planted in the memories of all students as well. The hang outs and the fads would change soon but everyone would know how it was in 86- 87 forever. College was the next step. Decisions had to be made by sen- iors. Stay here or go away? Where should I go? What do l want to study? Many questions were asked. These were things seniors could only decide for themselves. As for the underclassmen most of them knew where they would be in the year to come: in The Hot Spot! - Ann LaCour Closing 175 A 2 fa. wg - s f .g it fs X fff s - 2+ .
