Band “gets it on” with now music Band kicked off its school year with a step-two and then settled down to the solid playing of con- cert season. From those spirited pep assemblies and games to con- certs and try-outs, the band was right in the thick of the action. Enrollment increased from sixty- three in 1970 to seventy-six, pre- senting the band with problems to overcome. Student leadership became a problem because of a large sophomore to senior ratio. More members meant not enough uniforms to go around. A new drum major had to be broken in and even majorettes worked for recognition. The problems were overcome either by the selling of Drix and a million Chuck-Wagons or through practice, practice, prac- tice. One of the sad, unconquer- able problems was the continuously tardy student. 8:00 a.m. rehear- sals came early to the majority, but to a few stragglers, rehearsals came and went. Musically, the band had out- standing players, mediocre players, and ones who couldn’t play at all. At times, the music would come on strong and at other times it would fade away into nothingness, depending on the amount of stage- fright involved. The old-style marches were mostly replaced by now tunes such as Get It On,” The Horse, and Rock a la Bach. A few pieces were worked to death for contests, but most of the songs were enjoyed by both the bands- men and their listeners. The first performance of a march- ing show, a State Festival concert, or an All-Region try out never fail- ed to produce funny pains deep in the bandmember’s stomachs. Some- times mistakes made on a first try created a determination to do bet- ter the second time around, if it ever came. Working hard and doing well was a feeling all want- ed to experience. The band will always remem- ber sloshing tlirough the cold mud and wet grass at 8:00 a.m., the pangs of cherished seniors graduat- ing, the dismay of being yelled at when you're standing alone on the wrong yardlinc, and the feeling of a job well done. 14 1 On the opposite page are: TOP; David Spencer during a rehearsal before the Blue and White inter- squad game and BOTTOM; Ken Chandler towards the end of a two- hour marching rehearsal.

Drama Club captures two Sweepstakes Trophies The SHHS Drama Club, an as- sociate member of the National Forensic League, traveled to spread the word that Sylvan Hills High School is ready, willing, and able . After a rewarding trip to Talequah, Oklahoma in October, the members of the traveling squad went to the Searcy Invitational Tour- nament, and to the Henderson Tournament, returning with smiles and two Sweepstakes Trophies. Taking time from a crowded schedule which included state tournament, county one-act play competition, and interscholastic debating, the Drama Club mem- bers enjoyed an interesting lecture by attorney Bob Neighbors. Many of the Drama Club mem- bers participated in the choir mu- sical. The Drama Club plans to expand the program with a traveling squad and to enter more tournaments. With such an exciting future, the Drama Club should have no trouble encouraging participation in this area of high school activity. 18 FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Debbie Duff, Jeanmaire Brunner, Beverly Russell, Carolyn Padgett, Rae-Lene Wolf, Ann West, Lisa Winchester.

Their perform- ances seldom fail to draw large crowds. They seem to be a perpet- ual candidate for Honor Choir at State Festival. Success has been their constant shadow and this year wasn’t different. Placing eleven members in All- Region Choir, Christmas concerts for the student body, and a 30-min- ute program on Channel 2 made up the activities before Christmas. Post-Holiday events were numerous, requiring hours of practice. Included were State and Region competition, All-State Choir try-outs in February, and the Spring Concert. Aside from traveling and singing to audiences, the choir cuts an LP each Spring to help buy more precious robes and equipment. 23 OPPOSITE BELOW; Mr. Taylor throws in some of his extra time to help an eager Bruce Madison hit just the right note.

Improving paper is fulltime job The paper staff started last year with nothing. No equipment, no experience, no journalistic tradi- tion: nothing. Since then a head- liner, a waxer, two electric type- writers and a light board have been purchased. Several people have gained the experience that is need- ed to publish a paper. The depart- ment established a reputation on the state level, winning the AHSPA presidency, and individuals won awards on both the state and re- gional levels. That success was brought with hard work and desire, which brought with it the frustration of coming a long way, and then realizing that you haven’t even started. Hours spent over light boards, waste baskets filled with first, sec- ond and twenty-second drafts of a story, ruined rolls of film, deadlines missed - these experiences altered each journalist at least a little. The old moral easier said than done must have been especially thought up with the BANNER in mind. Upholding the reputation of being Arkansas' only weekly high school paper takes a lot more than an hour or two of work. - Three hours dur- ing school time and many more af- ter keep the staff quite busy pre- paring a paper that, in the end, still isn't as satisfying as it could be. The finished product is run over for misspelled words, balance, and writing quality, then set aside as a guideline in an effort to im- prove next week’s issue that is al- ready taking form on the light ta- ble. Easy? Not quite. The enormous job of covering all school activities falls into the hands of the reporter, each one as- signed to a specific beat. Their duty is to: 1) track down connect- 26 ed persons; 2) get all informa- tion on the subject (using the same old 5 W's); 3) arrange the crypto- gram in readable fashion; and 4) proofread material. From the imaginative mind of its writer, the copy travels into the paper bails of an old manual type- writer, for roughing and justifying, then to an IBM for final typing. Moving away from a pair of magic fingers on the keyboard, the same piece of paper is again checked for errors and then put through the waxer to be forever glued on final layout sheets. The last and final step in taking the new-born paper to the publishers for printing - hoping to get it back by Friday afternoon. OPPOSITE LEFT: Eugene Atha and Gina Hatfield brood over the BANNER.

LEFT: John Moss, Patti Tucker and Martin Crutchfield discuss deadlines, insane staff members and other problems that arise in journalism class. 29 l l Annual Staff plagued by inexperience Although it didn’t have as many deadlines as its brother, the BRUIN carried just as much (if not more) tension, sweat, discouragement, and fatigue under its wing as it was being prepared. Encountered with a complete set of greenhorns and a lack of coordination between 4th and 5th periods, editor John Moss was forced into the treacherous task of teaching his new crew the basics of a year- book starting with layout sheets, ad sales, and the many uses of a ruler. This knowledge was sufficient to meet the first deadline. With deadline 2 breathing quite heavily down his neck, John began taking drastic measures allowing a few friends to try their hand at pic- ture cropping and fitting. After a number of such frustrating sessions, they caught on to the new game and proceeded cautiously showing off their new-learned skills. Photography, by this time, had become populated with those few shutter bugs that ran around liter- ally shooting up the whole school. From a grand total of one person, the editor himself, the de- partment increased to eight well- trained photographers. The beginning of '72 rang in round three for the group, now a bit brighter. The one and a half month span between January and Valentine’s Day were packed full of pressure, both internal and ex- ternal, posing as the staff’s big- gest problem in its desperate struggle to hit the hovering dead- line on the nose. Late hours at night were typified by the hum of electric typewriters and drab work over the light table. It was solid torture; but alas, they made it. 30 OPPOSITE LEFT: Beverly Meadows, Mr. Crutchfield, Patti Tucker, and Carl Bainbridge drool over the $3, 000 take during the annual's one chance sale.

The an- nual Toys for Tots campaign, a statewide contest, presented this year's biggest challenge to Los Conquistadores. After a lot of hard work, Sylvan Hills grimly came in third with Arkansas AM N and Unofficial Enemy 1, Jack- sonville, not far in front. Last year’s total of 1,078 was topped by a determined effort that produced 3,005 toys. Homecoming brought the usual contests with the Spanish Club plac- ing twice. It captured first place plaque in the float contest and sec- ond place in the banner contest. Spring rolled in with the County Fiesta and candy sales after school. Also included on the Spanish Club agenda were the club and school pin sales and the ever-popular Spanish movies at the Heights. 32 P k P i i .mil I■ .K)6 RCah n «3 lb- M -.duUjLAxt ABOVE: A typical scene at the front of a typical Spanish Club meeting.

One of the more colorful clubs here at Sylvan Hills was the Art Club. With the objective to help members involve themselves deeper in different aspects of art and learn- ing newer methods of art, a student could expand his talents. The Art Club entered two main school activities: the homecoming float contest, in which they won second place, and in the spring the club sponsored an Art Show. Here the art students had a chance to show off their works to the world, as the entire school was allowed to view the masterpieces. This year's money making pro- ject was making and selling paper mache candlestick holders. Pro- fits from the project and club dues went toward buying new equipment for the department. 35 FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Mandee Hall, Suzy Powell, Rhonda DeBerry. Debbie Milks. Donna Henderson.

Bruinettes boost school spirit, bring recognition to school The Sylvan Hills Marching Bru- inettes consisted of forty members this year. Hard-working and school- spirited, the drill team performed dance and drill routines for half- time entertainment, and boosted the Pep Club along in the cheers. The Bruinettes have brought the name of Sylvan Hills to the atten- tion of many people by marching at Henderson State, winning a fifth place ribbon at summer camp, and receiving a write-up and pictures about them in the National Drill Team Association Magazine. The Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus, the Arkansas Livestock Rodeo, and the Charley Pride show received the ushering services of the drill team this fall, along with the help of the Key Club and Pep Club. The Bruinettes used their money to buy pom-poms and tambourines, with a 11 the excess funds going to the after-school trip in the spring. The members who ushered earned credits for each hour they worked. Try-outs for the 1971-72 year were held last April. The instal- lation of officers was celebrated with a pot-luck supper. 36 ABOVE: Drill Team officers for this year are: Wendv Rogers - Captain; Cathy Welch - br. Lieut.; Beverly Meadows - Choreographer; Sharon Corbett - Jr. Lieut.; and Kathy Holland - Soph. Lieut. LEFT: Sr. Lt. Cathy Welch does a tambourine routine to the tune of The Horse .

The General Cooperative Educa- tion Club in its second year at Syl- van Hills, is composed of members of the General Cooperative class. Each member attended classes in the mornings and worked during the afternoon. Because of that, busi- ness meetings for the club were conducted during regular class periods. In the spring, an employer-em- ployee banquet was held. Each student was his employer's host and entertainment was furnished. To raise funds for the banquet the club sold doughnuts and screwdriver sets. G.C.E. OFFICERS, FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WERE; Shane Givens.

That’s one of the prob- lems you might have encountered during a Monday meeting of the Y-Teens, in the ever-shrinking Chemistry room. Y-Teens, a Christian organization affiliated with the YWCA, was the largest club in Sylvan Hills and we 11-de- served the trophy for outstanding membership received in 1971. Y-Teens is also a service organ- ization, performing various services to the community and school with money they raise. Money-making projects for this year included candle sales, to boost school spirit and wri- ting abilities, and a Hearts and Hands auction. All these projects required cooperation in working to- gether and the will to get things done, under the guidance of advi- sors, Jeanne Giampetro and Julia Fraser, But the Y-Teens is not all work and no play. Several picnics, a Razorback listening party, a Come as you are breakfast, and a Valen- tine’s Day banquet, among other things, served to bring that grand total of girls together just to have fun. Conventions attended by Sylvan Hills delegates to the tune of Pearly Shells and Do your Ears Hang Low? , were district conven- tion at Camp Tanako and regional conference in Little Rock. For $2.00, any girl can join. Requirements are hopes, morals, and interest in working in the club for its good. 41 RIGHT: Patti Cosgrove and James Smith (withhisbach to thecamera) help pr epare the eats at the Y -Teens Sweetheart Banquet.

During the Science Club's row- dy first meeting when officer elections were questioned, a com- mittee was formed to draw up the club's first constitution so that of- ficer qualifications would be clear- ly understood. All was quiet until the beginning of 1972 when Presi- dent Eugene Molinaro resigned. As Vice-President. Gary Bull took over, a few members felt that a more experienced person was needed. After a period of confu- sion and uneasiness the club elected a new president. Sandy Rennard. and returned to business. The 1971-72 time-out will certainly help it to become an active organization with money- making and community service projects dealing with science. 43 FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT; Jimmy Summers, Virginia Daus, Jeanne Parker, Lisa Winchester, Sandy Sorrells, Rhonda DeBerry, Sandy Williams, SECOND ROW; Randy Gresham.

Student Council changes election procedures Acting as a sort of President's Cabinet for the school. Student Council virtually has supremacy over all other organizations. Tra- dition was broken this year by changing the Councils election process. Instead of the usual re- presentative from each homeroom, each class elected one Student Council member per fifty students. This presumably would have in- sured better student representation. Homecoming activities were un- der complete direction of the Stu- dent Council. It took charge of float entries, the parade, banner entries, and the dance following the game itself. Other Council-run events were the Sadie Hawkins dance, talent shows for the school, and assembling Thanksgiving food baskets for the poor. 44 LEFT: Sharon Moore enjoys a bit of humor listening attentively to Jimmy Summers (luring a Council meeting.

Initiations highlight key club year Striking a perfect K and per- forming odd activities, are only two of the many requirements that must be met to join the Key Club. Along with the vigorous activities enjoyed (?) by the Key Club such as work days, the members also had the opportunity to work as the back stage crew for the Arkansas Junior Miss Pageant and to usher for various programs and concerts at Barton Coliseum. Key Clubbers are not only workers, but also leaders. As sponsors of the Annual Miss Sylvan Hills Pageant, they put their abil- ities to use and present a success- ful contest. Under the sponsorship of Ray- mond Henze and Bob Burney, the Key Club officers invades St. Lou- is to the tune The Bears Are Here. They elected regional officers, en- joyed scenic spots and beautiful tourist traps SHHS is proud to have such a fine boys organization to uphold the name of Sylvan Hills.

Each student must have at least a B average and must have been approved by the faculty be- fore he can be invited to become a member. New members were accepted twice this year, once in December and once near the end of school. This was a break from the tradi- tional spring induction. But what does a Beta do after the induction? Did you hear about what went on up on the tenth floor? was one of the many remarks made about the famous Beta Club convention held in Little Rock. The conven- tion, one of the club's major activ- ities, gave each member a chance to meet new people and to have a good time. Business was mixed with pleasure, however, as the Syl- van Hills Betas did their best, but failed, to have one of their number. Pepermint Patti Cosgrove, elected as state secretary. Leadership was provided by Mrs. Hall and Miss Turner, the club spon- sors, with plenty of help from Robin Horner and Co. The club wasn't the school's most active, but the members who participated got back friends and plenty of memories for their efforts. FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Cathy Welch.

Honor Society thrills with “thought for the day ” Strictly an academic organiza- tion with emphasis on scholarship, the Honor Society is probably the hardest club in which to achieve membership. Twenty students out of approximately eight hundred fit the qualifications of scholarship, leadership, citizenship, and serv- ice. Services performed included decorating the display window, de- lighting the children of Lakeview Orphanage with a Valentine party, and the patented Thought for the Day , a chance for the members to quote a few words brightening the forever-dull day.

Broyles takes state office during convention For those who didn't eat the school lunches, FTA came to the rescue. They attempted to satisfy the sweet tooth of students by sel- ling a variety of candy after school. Money from this project was used to attend the state convention and lucheons. The state convention, held at Hot Springs, witnessed the election of Paula Broyles as state treasurer. This was the second year that the Sylvan Hills FTA chapter placed an officer on the state level. The members of FTA were ex- posed to real situations experienced as teachers. They observed the teachers at Sylvan Hills Elementary for one day, and taught during the following day. All of the members agreed that it was the most exciting project of the year. 52 ABOVE: FTA officers are. from left.

FBLA expands activities Under the guiding hands of Mrs. Duce and Mrs. Fraser, the FBLA was one of the school's most active groups. Funds raised through the selling of towel calenders and through the collection of dues were used to pay for the many activities that the club engaged in. Among those activities were the State Convention at Hot Springs in April and the Christmas dinner party at NLR North cast. Club members entered many of the skill contests held at the Inter- city and State levels and made good showings. As the president chapter of the Intercity Council, composed of all the schools in Pulaski County, the Sylvan Hills FBLA hosted one Council meeting and participated in almost all of the planning of Council events. All these activities combined to make the FBLA a club enjoyed by almost all of its members. 55 FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Carol Coaley, Earlenc Ott, Carol Tedder, Virginia Daus, Rhonda DeBerry, Jeanv Fetzer, Debbie Wri it, Debbie Fleenor, Nesha Mathis, Mrs. Broyles - sponsor, SECOND ROW: Damira Brooks, Brenda Barnes, JoyceMiller, Delores Bentley, Gwen Skipper, Barbara Box, Dana Carson, Sandy Crouch, Denise Duville, THIRD ROW: Nancy McKay, Beverlv Meadows, Carolyn Futch, Peggy Siders, Sharon Blouir, Sandy Penland, Given Smith, Patricia McKelvey.

FHA stresses state and national objectives The Future Homemakers of America set out to put more em- phasis on state and national objec- tives and they did just that. For the first time they had a Federation officer and State officer during the same year. They helped both the communi- ty and the school this year through different projects. In December, they held a workshop to make Christmas stockings for Lakeville Children's Home. For a money- making project, they sold cook- books. The Future Homemakers of America club is a very important organization in the school and it is worthy of all the pride the school holds for it. 56 ABOVE: FILA officers for this year were, from left to right, seated: Virginia Da us - President, Carol Tedder - 1st Vice President, Deb- bie Wright - 2nd Vice President, Rhonda DeBerTy - Secretary, Deb- bie Fleenor - Treasurer.

These fragments of the 1971 Bear’s foot- ball season don’t tell the whole story, but they are a part. Billy Bock came to Sylvan Hills with a reputation as a tough coach. Three summer practices daily, excruciating concentration on fundamentals a consuming de- mand for dedication and discipline quickly indicated the reasons for his reputation. The Bears rose to the challenge. They began to pay in sweat and pain for a new feeling of pride. Pride in themselves; for being able to take it; pride in their team, which began to infect a student body accustomed to losing teams. Scoreboards are impersonal, paint and lights don’t tell of breaks , of mistakes that belie work that has gone before. Still, the 4-4-1 season record was the best in cur- rent history, with the exception of 1968's 6-4-2. Bears prove tough on defense In the initial contest with Jack- sonville, the Red Devils capitalized on a Bear fumble and drove 55 yards to score first, but the PAT failed. The Bears duplicated the feat by recovering a Red Devil fumble and Ricky Duhon scored to tie. In a play that later proved significant, Larry Clement's PAT was erased by a penalty, and a two point try was no good. The Red Devils almost brought it off with a fourth quarter field goal try, but the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out. Bears 6, Devils 6. The tie with a school almost twice as large was a moral victory. Benton's Panthers rebounded from an opening loss to Northeast to down the Bears 14-0, despite a rugged Bear defense that denied several Panther attempts. Actual scores came on two quick and unusual plays: A 68-yard punt return brought the first, and Benton's sec- ond and final score in the closing seconds of the first half. Jimmy Summers intercepted a Panther pass at the SH goal. Scrambling out, Summers was abruptly hit, and fumbled. A Panther plucked tlie ball out of the air and fell into the end zone. ABOVE: A Mills player attempts to get into the play above the shoulder of 75, Don Blakely, as Eddie Bartley rushes for short yard- age. ABOVE RIGHT: Two Bears up-end a Russellville running back. Good pursuit and gang tackling were characteristic of the tough defen- sive unit. RIGHT: A Benton re- ceiver is hit by Chris Anderson as he catches a pass for a moderate gain. Benton's 22 proved to be troublesome all night. 64 Dad's Night was established at the Bear's opening home game against Wilbur Mills as the Bears won their first conference game 14-0. Joe Kyzer plunged from two yards out for the first score, but the PAT failed. In the fourth quarter, Jimmy Venable blocked a Comet punt and tackled the kick- er trying to run it out of the Comet end zone for a two - point safety. Eddie Bartley completed the Bear's scoring from one yard out, and the try for two extra points failed. The major scoring threat from Mills was stopped on the Bear one yard line on the fourth down. Russellville avenged last year’s 16-0 loss to the Bears by shutting out the Sylvan Hills squad 17-0 at home. Despite a brilliant first- half defensive performance which held on the Cyclones to nine yards, the Bears trailed 7-0 as the second half began. The Bears missed their only real opportunity to score when Larry Clements field goal try went wide. Russellville added a touch- down and a field goal. LEFT: Joe Kyzer tries for a first down on a rough third-and-five situation. BELOW: Players cover the ground as two Bears stack up a Cyclone. 65 Sylvan Hills marred Dollarway's Dad’s Night by downing the Cardi- nals 20-12. Dollarway scored first but the extra point attempt failed. Several Bear drives stalled, but the Bears took advantage of two Car- dinal fumbles to lead 13-6 at half- time. Joe Kyzer scored one TD, and Leon White the other, with Jolin I-Iaynie adding the one PAT. In the second half, Kyzer scored again and Haynie added the point after. Undeterred, the Cardinals came back with a score, and tried in the closing minutes to win, but a stingy Bear defense prevailed and preserved the winning margin. Bear booster ribbons read Swamp the Wampus Cats but 12th ranked (in the state) Conway handed Syl- van Hills a 26-0 setback. The Bear offense was held to 62 yards by the now AAA Wampus Cats. A gloomy night for the Bears lie Id lew bright spots, as the defense inter- cepted two passes, recovered two fumbles, and held Conway once on downs.

ABOVE RIGHT: Joe Kyzer tacks on a few more yards to his already outstanding records. Kyzer led the '71 Bears in rushing statistics. RIGHT: Benton's 22 tries the right side of the Bear line. Excellent pursuit caused this play to gain only short yardage, stalling a Panther drive. Y-' 66 The Bears defeated the Watson Chapel Wildcats on two counts; a 10-8 scoreboard count (official) and a post game free-for-all (opin- ion). Both defenses were aggres- sive and each team lost several scoring chances. Near the end of the first half, Jimmy Summers grabbed a loose punt and scored the Bear TD. John Haynie’s PAT try was good, and in the second half Haynic added a 27-yard field goal. Watson Chapel finally scored in the last minute of play and add- ed a two point conversion, but it was too little too late. Morrillton’s Devil Dogs (AA state champions) found the Bears had come to play. James McDan- iels, leading scorer in AA, could not penetrate the Bear goal-line, Undaunted by Morrillton’s 13-0 lead at tire half, the Bears came back, drove to the Devil Dog 5. and Ricky Duhon Scored. The con- version was good. Morrillton, con- cerned, added a no t Ire r touchdown but Leon White burst 60 yards to bring tire Bears within range again. 19-14. Sylvan Hills final scoring chance ended when Ricky Duhon was dropped behind the line on a fourth and eight play. Morrillton 19, Sylvan Hills 14. Homecoming celebrations were complete when the Bears defeated the Prescott Curly Wolves 6-0 and brought their season record even to 4-4-1. Neither team scored in the first half, as penalties plagued each squad in scoring territory. Joe Ky- zer’s running in the second half sparked tire Bear score, with Kyzer himself getting tire TD. A final desperation drive brought the Curly Wolves 75 yards from their own 5 to the Bear 20 in 42 seconds. With three seconds remaining in the game, the Bear defense batted Prescott’s last pass to the ground for a happy homecoming. 67 LEFT TO RIGHT: Coach Bock, Coach Turner.

The girls prac- ticed two weeks learning ten cheers, five jumps, splits and a cartwheel or a round off. The first eliminations were by judges. Then each girl was required to go in front of their classmates. The twelve girls chosen as the 71-72” cheerleaders were: A team - Srs. - Debra Moseley, La- na Phillips, Brenda Barnes, Vicki Sherrill, Jrs. - Laurie Gillihan. Jimmie Jackson, Sharon Moore, Sophs. - Cara Hammond, Joyce Hoover, B team - Jrs. - Carma (Continued on page 77) RIGHT: Laurie Gillihan caught during a jump after the Bear's bucket another two points.

The girls voted to attend the last session of cheer- leading camp at ASU in Jonesboro. Many new cheers, pom-pom routines, chants and acrobatic stunts were taught. In nightly competition, the A” team won two excellent ribbons, three out- (Continued on page 78) OPPOSITE LEFT: Brenda Barnes takes a long, weary look at the scoreboard.

The B team won five excellent ribbons. Cheerleaders had several projects during the year. They held car washes, sold stationery and game ribbons, and ushered at the Live- stock Show. Cheerleading jackets were purchased with the profits. A constitution was drawn up by the principal, Mr. Brooks, and Mrs. Gibson. The constitution con- tained various rules such as: each cheerleader had to maintain a C average.

During school, cheerleaders practiced every day during 5th period. They worked on cheers for following games, and pep assem- blies. Pep assemblies were held every Friday during football sea- son and every other Friday during basketball season. Arousing spirit, showing sports- manship, and above all showing pride and honor in Sylvan Hills, are the main goals that the girlsstrived for and achieved.

Judging is based on achievement in the fields of character, service, leadership, and scholarship. A number of faculty and administra- tion members were asked to com- ment on the winning ten. The re- sults follow: JOHN MOSS: Dedicated, per- sistent. A perfectionist. Goal- directed, self-motivated, and self-disciplined. A very capable person. JAMES KERSEY: A curse or a bles- sing? 'Where was I? 'Don’t worry about it.’ The fastest developer in the darkroom or the darkroom's fastest developer. 82 JOHN FETZER: Mind with a mouth. A volatile intelligence with the courage of his convic- tions. Opinionated, strong-willed, and bright. JAMES SMITH: Super sp---------- rout! Secret Squirrel. Tie down his hands and he can't talk. The only living exponent of sign lan- guage. Lost in the wilderness of his own mind. JEANNE PARKER: Debater extra- ordinaire! SANDY SORRELLS: When you wind her up she can quote poetry, tell stories, sing and act.” DA MIT A BROOKS: She’s not prejudiced - she'll argue with anyone and everyone. GARY BURCHFIELD: His claim to fame - a Scottish dialect. JIMMY SUMMERS: Quiet, hard- working type that gets things done without a lot of show. RHONDA DeBERRY: Energy, dedication, enthusiasm, with a special little-girl flavor. 85 ABOVE: Becky Bennett, Senior Maid.

For some it means one week of marching in the hot sun, one week without your girl-friend, or maybe even kindling new friendships. But for the four boys from Sylvan Hills, it meknt a week of hard work and dedication to prove themselves worthy of rep- resenting Sylvan Hills. Not all of the time was spent marching or learning the democratic system, there were times when they would sit in their bunch and rap about their homes, or girls, or just how bad the food really was at dinner. Many of the lessons learned can only be understood by those who attended. 92 Don’t forget your cap was the statement most frequently heard during the 1971 Girls’ State Week. Clashing 36 different songs in in- comprehensible discord shook the walls of Lloyd England Hall. A theme song was composed from each of the 36 counties. Flag ceremonies, patriotic singing, and participation in gov- ernment proceedings became a part of every day life to Damita Brooks, Carol Coaley, Jeanne Par- ker, and Rhonda DeBerry. During the week, 1,044 girls were taught self-discipline and endurance. OPPOSITE A BOVE: 1971 Delegates to Boys’ State are; Left to Right: Jimmy Summers, Gary Burchfield, James Smith, and John Moss.

During his time here, Mr. Brooks brought changes for the better. The Speech Department improved tremendously, as evi- denced by tournament victories. Two years ago, Sylvan Hills didn't have a single journalism class. To- day it has one of the largest jour- nalism departments in the state. Sylvan Hills was evaluated by North Central twice and passed with ease both limes, a credit to Mr. Brook’s leadership. The students at Sylvan Hills knew these things, but they know about Mr. Brooks the man, too. of the guard’’ at Among them he had enemies as well as friends (just as any other man would), but everyone knows that Mr. Brooks was interested in giving each student an education (even if the student disagreed with his methods). He attracted inde- pendent faculty members that were interested in the students, and adopted a Hands-off attitude to what was done in the classroom. This doesn't indicate that he lacked concern, it indicates that he real- ized that he hired people who were competent enough to do a good job, without the need for detailed in- structions on how to give a lecture or a test. In two and a half years, Mr. Sylvan Hills Brooks influenced the educations of well over a thousand young peo- ple in this community. Many of them believe that they are better for it. ABOVE: Mr. Burgett presents a well-appreciated group shot of the faculty to Mr. Ken Brooks during a farewell luncheon held inhishonor. RIGHT: Morning announcements were the duties of Mr. Fitzgerald, but now, as he is no longer Vice Principal, he delegated the awe- some responsibility to Mr. Morgan.j Dennis Fitzgerald moved to the top of the administrative ladder at the beginning of second semester. As the new principal of Sylvan Hills High School, Mr. Fitzgerald’s out- look on the student body and faculty didn't change. With nine years in the education- al system, and three and a half years of the nine spent as a Vice Prin- cipal, administrative duty wasn’t new to Mr. Fitzgerald. The responsibilities of a prin- cipal are numerous and varied. As Vice Principal, Mr. Fitzgerald was in charge of student affairs, main- ly activities and discipline. But he was also responsible to the Prin- cipal. These responsibilities are just added concerns as Principal. Mr. Fitzgerald is seen frequent- ly checking into classrooms to see that order is being maintained and just generally watching out for the well-being of the student body. Dennis Fitzgerald is easy to talk with and easy to get along with. What more could be asked of a good principal? MR. KEN BROOKS: Principal, First Semester MR. DENNIS FITZGERALD: Principal, Second Semester 101 It took awhile, but the students finally remembered to address Coach Morgan as Mr. Morgan. Gary Morgan assumed the respon- sibilities of Vice Principal in early January. After a first impression of it’s too tough a job, Mr. Morgan decided it was an easier job when you enjoy what you’re doing. The personal contact Mr. Morgan had while teaching was lost, but the advantages of an administrative job far outnumbered the disadvantages. Mr. Morgan came to Sylvan Hills this year as a history teacher and coach. His background includes seven years as a teacher-coach and three years as principal of Hastings High School in Crosett. Mr. Gary Morgan is a well- qualified man and most definitely an asset to Sylvan High School. 102 FIRST ROW: Mrs. Pollard, Mrs. Anderson.

Always willing to help. Mrs. Jones gives Mitchell Arnold a bit of insight into En- glish Literature. 106 Communication needed for tomorrow Communication composes the foundation of the world and its peoples. Telegraphs, televisions, and telephones are all examples of the success of communication. Today, however, communica- tion is mostly concerned with gap- ing holes: parent with teenager, country with country, and man with man. When communication just doesn’t jump the gaps, the foun- dation starts to crumble. Commu- nication soon must be built of solid rock if the tide is expected to turn. In our own small way, SHHS tries to mold communication through English, Journalism, Speech, Dra- ma, and Spanish courses. The age-old English classes build the foundation with grammar for the present and literature of the past. Endless writing assignments created only full trash cans and writer's cramp for some while giving others chances to express themselves and to grow in literary talent. Different strokes for different folks. With the adoption of new gram- mar books by the school district, SHHS students were exposed to the strange, new world of transforma- tional grammar. Sophomores and Juniors were often bewildered by the sentence formulas crying, What is this. Algebra 11? Sen- iors caught only brief glances of the new fangled contraption and were thankful that they need not face it again. Everyone, possibly even teachers, were confused by the maze of lines, DP's, NP's, and other neat little symbols. Literature, the old friend of one and all, continued to give the stu- dent a view of both the past and the future. The writings of Shakespeare and the early Pilgrims showed him his rich heritage. The reading of contemporary writings for book re- ports kept the student in touch with the times. 107 ABOVE: Mrs. Bryant, calm and un- ruffled, stands before one of her Sophomore English classes, offering a point which she doesn't appear to be interested in either.

An infant journalism program available for the second year, gave students a basic history of journal- ism and an opportunity to learn skills needed to produce actual pub- lications. Photography, writing, layout, ad sales - all the skills needed to produce a small, weekly paper - were taught and practiced. Two classes of Journalism I and a class of Journalism II contained more students than any other jour- nalism department in the state. Pew experienced students were available, however, to provide leadership for the fledgling jour- nalists. This created many problems, most of which were solved by hard work and desire. 109 On a small scale, Spanish tried to ease the country with country misunderstandings. Learning a new language and culture of another country brought that country closer. The Spanish 1 students kicked this term off with the already worn- out phrase, iHola! iQue tal? Throughout the year drilling, re- peating, writing, and more dril- ling finally made way for a limit- ed vocabulary. In regard to dril- ling, the Tengo catarro game not only became fun, but by the end of a week, each student knew the first and second person of 1 by heart. Moving up to Spanish II. the Spanish culture was presented mixed with conversations to give a more natural conversational scene than in Spanish I. Supposedly enter- ing the course with a reasonable vocabulary, Spanish II accelerated learning ability by turning out some twenty new words per chapter. This year’s Spanish II enrollment almost assures a Spanish III class. RIGHT: Mrs. Clements, the driv- ing force behind a growing Speech Department, contemplates a point made by one of her students. , BELOW: Senora Steele wants her students to be exposed to as many facets of Spanish culture aspossible. Spanish literature in the form of newspapers, (one of which she is explaining now) comic books, sto- ry books, etc., often find their way into her class. not offered in the ’71-'72 curric- ulum. MRS. MARSHA CLEMENTS: Debate, Drama, Speech. MRS. BETTINA STEELE: Spanish 1 and II. Stepfr SPANISH no Clements named Outstanding Speech Teacher The greatest gift one person can give to another is an understanding of his feelings and an appreciation for the way he thinks. The SHHS Debate, Drama, and Speech De- partment is succeeding in leaching the basics of understanding by speech, thought and the pen. SH Speech, Drama, and Debate stu- dents are learning what it means to be involved in mankind through the issues in extempora- neous speaking, the feeling in in- terpretation, and the power of a polished word. This group of SH students can penetrate the barriers of any situa- tion and come out ahead. They've learned to change the look of dis- belief of winning trophies to the look of radiant smiles, and also to change the look of humilation as 750 evidence cards fall on the floor before an important debate to the look of grin and bear it. Marsha Clements the sponsor- teacher of this department, has led the group to recognition in Arkansas and its' neighboring states. Chosen as the Outstanding Speech Teacher in Arkansas, Mrs. Clements' stu- dents are proud to boast of her as their leader. Individual competition plays an important role in the overall suc- cess of obtaining the Sweepstakes Trophy in tournaments. But, more than once, SHHS has brought back first place after total points had been tallied. If people took this department as an example and listened to an opin- ion, viewed the facts of both sides of an issue, and then carefully and accurately voiced their own opin- ions, there would be a smaller gap in communication. Ill Math courses important to many students RIGHT: Mr. Whitfield discusses a problem - not necessarily mathe- matics - with one of his Trig stu- dents. Teaching problems is not all a teacher is faced with; often he listens to student's problems and helps out, all of which Mr. Whit- field is capable of doing and will. OPPOSITE BELOW; There comes a time in every Math teacher's life when he has to stop by a student's desk and help her understand a cer- tain problem. Obviously, this is that time in Mr. McDaniel’s life. BELOW; An attentive student. Ken Sirk, listens while Mr. Henze offers an explanation of a problem en- countered in Mechanical Drawing. Math is not a subjectio betaken lightly, which is shown by the wide variety of courses offered here at Sylvan Hills. Classes range from Business Math to Math Analysis (fondly known as Trig, among oth- er things.) The Business Math course is open to any Junior and Senior who has no desire to entangle himself in the other branch of mathematics (namely algebra and its related subjects.) In Business Math a stu- dent is taught methods that might help him with practical aspects of life. Going up the scale, Algebra 1 is the next subject encountered. Basic fundamentals of abstract mathematics are taught. Frustra- tion is frequently a by-product of algebra, when you learned . . . Geometry and Algebra II are ad- ded delights to the ladder of math- ematics. By the end of Geometry and Algebra II a student should be thoroughly familiar with Pythagoras and a bunch of funny looking Greek letters. Math analysis (remember it's fondly called Trig, among other things) is a different species of animal. Not only are the lessons based on past experiences of three years, but the learning process is supposed to keep functioning. Mr. Trig(known as Carl Whitfield) presides over the class and expects everyone to know that when zero is plugged into the denominator of a column of deter- minants, everything blows up. MR. RAY HENZE: Mechanical Drawing I and II, Applied Math. MR. JOE McDANIEL: Applied Math. MR. CARL WHITFIELD: Algebra I and II, Math Analysis. 113 Budding scientists get training at SHHS What? Mussel again! Oh, no! No, this is not a reaction upon seeing the food served in the cafe- teria. All Biology students had to put up with dissecting mussels at least once this year. Not only were they coached in exploratory surgery, the Biology curriculum also in- cluded subjects like genetics, bio- genesis, DNA-synthesis, phylurns, etc. After finishing a year of lectures and demonstration exper- iments, the students who were not thoroughly bored (and ones who wanted to mix potassium sulfide, barium chloride, ammononium carbonate and heat to see what happens) went onto bigger and bet- ter things; Chemistry. The next step in the field of science is Physics, (unless he gets sidetracked to Physical Science, which can rest his mind) in which a student may or may not learn, depending on his attitude. He finds out that Quantum Mechanics is what it is all about and if Ein- stein did it, why can't I? RIGHT: Mr. Danny Stripling is fer- vently explaining an abstruse prob- lem in Geometry. He believes in sticking with a problem until it is thoroughly exhausted, or he is. BELOW; Miss Cogswell, the new Chemistry teacher, is either rep- rimanding her students for talking in the library, or else enjoying a bit of humor. Take your pick. OPPOSITE BELOW; Grasshoppers this time. Mrs. Harrison gets ready to hand the slimy little guy to an obviously reluctant student during one of HER Biology classes.

JEANNE GIAMPETRO: Chemistry, Physical Science. MRS. IRENE HARRISON: Biology. MR. DANNY STRIPLING: Geometry, Applied Math, Physics, Algebra I. MRS. JULIA FRASER: General Business, Bookkeeping. MRS. JEAN HALL: Shorthand, Typing II. MRS. ALBERT HALL: Typing I, Gen. Business. MRS. LUCILLE MILLER; Coop. If you still want to take that sec- retarial job after you graduate, the business department at Sylvan Hills is one of the best to prepare you for such a job. The courses contained in this department are planned for those students who want to go into occupations as file clerk, stenogra- pher, etc. Typewriting 1 covers the basic skills of typing of how to break all your fingernails without really trying. Typewriting 11 is a continuation of Typewriting 1, for students who wish to continue typewriting for greater vocational skill. Shorthand is a study of the theory of Gregg Shorthand which is what those unintelligible hieroglyphics actually are. Business Office Education, af- fectionately known as BOE, is de- signed to train students at the twelfth grade level to further de- velop their skills in business and office occupations. This course has advanced shorthand, advanced typewriting, and others. It stresses the importance of good work hab- its by putting students in actual office situations, and encourages understanding of the free enter- prise system. General Cooperative Education, or Co-op, is relatively new here, having just completed its second year at Sylvan Hills. It consists of two parts: a class in school that supplies information on job needs, and work at a training station in the afternoon and or evening. It has its definite advantages: Stu- dents receive two units of credit for the program, and are freed from school after half-a-day to work a minimum of fifteen hours per week. Bookkeeping is the practice of keeping a record ofbusiness trans- actions, aiding the student to dis- cover if he has the aptitude, the interest and the ability to become an accountant - in other words to sec if he really wants to work that much to take that job. I 16 ABOVE: Mrs. Duce, BOE, and Typ- ing teacher, makes sure her students can take dictation as she checks their writing. LEFT: Mrs. Fraser gives Patti Jo Tucker a few pointers on how to keep her assets in line. I Music and art broaden students’ scopes Whether playing a brisk march or a soft flowing suite, the band functions as a group. The class time is spent on sight reading new music and polishing music already learned. During concert and marching season many extra prac- tices are called and always needed At football games or concerts, - the band provides the setting: A fight song for the big game or a quiet escape through a summer concert. 9 118 I Many who are not associated with the Sylvan Hills choral de- partment may have wondered, What is all the yelling about dur- ing fourth period? Bob Taylor, the director, is what all the yelling is about. Back in the far reaches of the school, Mr. Taylor holds drill for his fourth period charges, the A Cappella Choir. Mr. Taylor is very dedicated to his work and de- mands the best from his choirs, especially from the A Cappella. Perfection is the goal that is sought daily upon the choir risers. Repetition, the order-of-the-day for any director, often seems tire- some but the boredom is partially relieved by Mr. Taylor's long hairs and their associates. OPPOSITE LEFT: Many times it takes the hand of experience to get the job done. Students seem to think Mrs. Chandler's fingers pos- sess a type of magic they a 11 desire.

History 120 American History, being a re- quired course, often gave teachers the problem of teaching unwilling students. When the teacher made historic figures come to life and presented them simply, most were won over. The problem was making the dead come alive, but coaches seem to have a knack for it. Half the battle is gone when wars are studied, for boys find their niche at this point. Girls have to find theirs elsewhere in the distinguished past figures or the teacher. Boys naturally are going to fall for the shady characters, the adventures, and the wars. It may seem tedious to study the past for the present, but to get the country involved it's needed. Whether it be knowing of consti- tutional rights or past mistakes, many dates, names and places seem to float in the mind, but much was retained to create a continuous story of our country's past to build on. If the mind wasn't made for remembering, it could make up for it with extra re- ports, current event facts, or High School Bowl points. The course had a place for everyone - either to learn, enter- tain the class, or catch uponslecp. While at the time of frantic note- taking the use couldn't be seen, later the importance will show of knowing this country we live in.

LEFT: Coach Sebastian ana Paula Webber grin and bear it as the day passes on. 121 122 Social Sciences lead to understanding People find other people interest- ing. For some, people-watching makes up their favorite pastime whether they realize it or not. This probably explains why Sociol- ogy Psycho logy course has been so successful. Observing and explain- ing group and individual behavior was what this course dealt with. Terms and long lectures weren't guaranteed to be a blast, but these laid the basics to build on. Ears perked up to facts on families, marriages, and religions around the world. Everyone woke up when a rap session started on something like divorce proceedings or delinquents. The class seemed to be focused on fairness to all whether it was at- titudes toward religions or different races. The second half of the course was Psychology. At this point, books actually had to be cracked and studied to get by. Thesubject went deeper so the course was harder. Now covered was the individual and the reasons for his behavior. It brought more guest speakers and a trip to the Children’s Colony. The whole course gave people a boost to realize that others are cop- ing with the same problems and why. It couldn't help but make these classes more tolerant and un- derstanding of others. More are needed like it.

What can be more fun than sore muscles and jammed fingers? It's educational. What can be more educational than discovering that the first football was made from goat's intestines? P.E. is not re- quired, yet all the classes are full. Why? Because it's a class where tension can be forgotton and where the student can be himself. Team- work, sportsmanship, and general improvement are emphasized. 124 LEFT: The Man Coach Bock de- monstrates a side of his character that everyone knows; he fervently believes in what he does. MRS.

I hereby interject myself. At the time of this writing, the yearbook is about to be shipped to the printer. My staff is tired, lam tired, and everyone who knows me is tired of me being tired. Room 101 has of late become a haven for psychotics, paranoids and people who are just plain bananas. I wouldn't, however, want it to be different. Responsibility for the production of this 208 page monstrosity has rested on the students. Mr. Crutch- field has proven to be a member of that rare species of advisors (HANDS OFFUM) that advises but doesn't order. The great majority of the decisions made were made by the students. In particular, me. This type of authority has given me the wonderful opportunity to lose sleep, develop gray hair, and to have my character assasinated by people who didn't like the decisions. Now that the book is through, and I am finishing my fourth Coke for the day, 1 feel a deep sense of gratitude to several people. James Kersey stepped into the chief photographer's job after it was va- cated by another James, who shall remain nameless. Linda Brune was responsible for the ad section and the bookkeeping . Gina Hatfield, Larolin Dillie, Kathleen O'Nale, Linda Garrison, etc. ad nauseum suffered through writing assign- ments that were usually vague and always difficult. Sandy Rennard and Valerie Creston produced many of the cutlines (please, no ob- scene phone calls). Donita Hanson, Sharon Moore, Kathleen O'Nale, and countless others slaved over typewriters for beaucoup many hours. Finally I must thank the ones who I haven't thanked already by name. Anyone in that catego- ry is hereby entitled to fifteen minutes of lavish praise by me at a time and place of their choosing. I've edited three annuals at this school and have served as a lowly peon on one. In this position I have had intimate contact with scores of teachers and students. I've grown up a lot and I have found out that there are a whole heck of a lot of people in this school who deserve more credit than they get. In my opinion, this school has some of the finest people in the world in- side it's walls, and I'm glad that I've had a chance to get to know them. J.G.M. 207 Autographs ' I i I I t I — death
