19 83 desert sands ANTELOPE UNION HIGH SCHOOL ROUTE 1 BOX 26 WELLTON, ARIZONA 85356 VOLUME TWENTY-NINE PUBLISHED BY THE GRAPHIC ARTS CLASS Looks Can Fool The Closest Observer When the 1982 Desert Sands yearbook was distributed last May, the students at Antelope had mixed feelings about the cover, which was a map of the area done in watercolor paints. One student thought it looked like a comic book and wasn’t “classy” enough. Another thought it looked like it had been done in a hurry. However, others liked the cover very much. One student, a junior, thought it was “cute” and many others felt it was very interesting to follow the roads on the map. But whether each student liked the cover or not wasn’t a major concern, what really mattered was that they liked the inside, which happily most of them did. The point is, you can’t judge a book, or anything else, by its cover. People are often judged by their “covers” or looks. Some common examples are sex, race, color, age, weight, and height. Many people base their opinions of someone solely on that person’s appearance. For instance, if a student from the eastern United States came to our school, he might stand out like a sore thumb because of the way he dressed and spoke. He might have a difficult time making friends. Often when a student doesn’t wear certain brands of expensive clothes, like OP, Sasson, and Jordache, he might be ignored and not given a chance by others to be friends. They might really like him if they waited to get to know him before judging him by his appearance. Students aren’t the only people to be misjudged. Some teachers are unfairly labeled “strict,” “boring,” “mean,” and “Slavedriver.” For example, if a student who always disrupts class by making jokes, has a teacher who is very serious about teaching, they may not get along very well and the student may call the teacher a “strict ol’ grouch, or worse, even though the teacher really does care about the student. Through the years many people have realized that judging by appearances is wrong, so they thought up bright cliches to be reminders. Some are “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” “beauty is only skin deep,” and “all that glitters is not gold.” “Appearances can be deceiving” and many times they are. Though this yearbook looks like a magazine, it really isn’t. A magazine is a collection of stories about current news and fashions, but a yearbook is a book of past news and fashions. It’s a book of remembrances. So you see, you can’t judge a yearbook by its magazine cover! Cruz Carillo, Renae Robinson, Joel Conner, Joe Ray, and Kenneth Bump listen intently during a November VICA meeting. 2 Periodicals Bring The World Home Tom Selleck, Brooke Shields, Princess Grace, Princess Diana, and Elizabeth Tay- lor stared at the girl. She reached out and plucked Tom Selleck from the rack. Many teenagers buy magazines every day. It seems there is a magazine to suit everyone’s tastes. There are magazines about fashions, foods, rock music, coun- try music, celebrity gossip, current events, cars, stereo equipment, the list goes on and on. Students at Antelope read many maga- zines, everything from Bride’s World to Science Digest. Mary Gutierrez even has subscriptions to two very different maga- zines, Bon Appetit and Car and Driver. Most popular magazines read at Ante- lope have a little bit of everything in them. For example, Seventeen, which is read by almost every girl, has fashion trends, makeup tips, advice columns, and stories about teenage life. “It has so many different articles and that makes it inter- esting,” said Annette Thompson about the magazine. Other magazines focus on one subject. Q-VO, which is about lowrider cars, is read by many students here at Antelope according to Lucy Icedo. “If you like low- riders, you’ll probably like a magazine about them,” she said. A magazine doesn’t have to be directly related to teen life to be read by teens though. Some students, like Sarah Babb, read Good Housekeeping and McCalls. Some students have just one favorite they read. Curt Callaway said, “I don’t read very many magazines, just Three Wheeling, and maybe TV Guide to see what’s on. Magazines give you information, ideas, entertainment, relaxation, and perhaps most important of all, a chance to dream. Oh, I do love Magnum! Annie Auza sets the volleyball up for Cindy Tryon during the San Pasqual game. Rachel Garrett, Tanya Rush, and Stephane New- man show school spirit by dressing up. Johny Rivas works out in the gym during weight training class. Elane Morris reads a popular magazine in the li- brary.

Days spent lying in the sun, visiting relatives in Sam Diego, and working at the local pool came to an end. Some students felt sad at seeing sum- mer go because it signaled the beginning of a new school year. However, a few students did look for- ward to school for different reasons. Tra- cey Elliftritz said, “I couldn’t wait to see all of my friends again,” while Sarah Babb wanted to “hurry up and get school over with.” By summer’s end, students had grown more mature. They had developed new goals and plans for the future. They were ready to open the freezer and reach in for another popsicle. During halftime at the first home game against San Pasqual, the crowd finds time to socialize. Coaches Scott, Robinson, and McDaniel give foot- ball players instructions at the San Pasqual game.

I attend Antelope High and it’s like totally awesome cuz everybody’s like supra supra nice. It’s like tubular • ya know? I’m a VAL I know. But I live like in a really good part of Wellton so • it’s O.K. Conversations like this were heard y many students at Antelope. They tere brought about by the Moon appa hit song “Valleygirl.” which had yreat influence on American teenagers. _ When asked what she thought about the song, Renae Robinson said, “Valley Girl gives everyone something to talk • about. You can take it or leave it. I choose to take it.” 0 Shannon Hibbard said, “I think it’s great because if there’s not a word for q what you want to say, you just make one up.” “Valleygirl” wasn’t the only song 9 that was popular on campus. During the year, students walked around 9 humming, whistling, and all out singing songs like “Abracadabra,” “Vacation,” • “Hurt So Good,” “Who Can It Be Now,” and “Mickey”. 0 All of the students didn’t like the same types of music. Leonel Federico 0 said, “I like rock’n’roll or nothing.” Elsa Cadena said, I like soul music 0 because I can understand the words.” “I listen to punk music, but anything a with a good beat is O.K.,” said Lucy Icedo. Though students liked different types 9 of music, they all seemed to agree that they liked a good beat. But what did 0 they consider a good beat? “It’s something that keeps you moving,” 0 said Dora Cota. Miss Lugo felt that it was, “anything the students will listen 0 to and still keep working.” the daily Antelope life-and, of course, the NIGHT LIFE. Fer sure!! Scott Guy concentrates on his battle plan while 0 playing Defender. Elvira Icedo poses in front of self-portraits done by the Art II class. 10 “Can You Spare A Quarter?” “Get that Mutan!” “Quick hit smart Bomb!” “Eat the Energizer!” “That astroid is heading right for you!” “Jump that Barrel!” Sounds like World War Three? It’s not. These are sounds heard coming from any game room. Videos are very popular with the American teenagers. Hector Pereda said, “My favorite is Defender. I can usually on a good day rack up about 120,000 points.” Ralph Brees said, “I like Donkey Kong. I do pretty good after a few warm up games. 1 can get about 21,000 points.” The video games usually cost twenty- five cents and can last three minutes or an hour depending on how good you are. Scott Murphy said, “I am best at PAC-MAN. A good game can last me forty-five minutes to an hour, depending on my mood.” Four games to a dollar can get pretty expensive. Brian Blohm said, “Sometimes I’ll spend ten bucks before 1 know what has happened.” While Daniel Barrandey commented, “I never spend more than five dollars on Astroids.” Wellton opened up a game room at the end of the summer, and it became a popular hangout with many students. Jeff Woodruff said, “I think it was a nice addition to the town. When it went in that’s when I started liking video games.” Another popular place to play the games is in Tacna at the Speedy Mart. But game room videos were not the only ones that were available, other popular ones were the home video game ATARI and INTELEVISION. The ATARI video set costs about $150 without the cartridges, and each cartridge cost about twenty dollars. The games had other advantages besides a good past time. They built coordination and gave students something to do when they did not want to do their homework. Teri Hofer expresses her interest in music through the piano. Misty Smith models her version of the “mini” skirt. .......................fi Freshmen Slaves Earn Status With Initiation “Make her wiggle!”, “Make him pop!”, “Let’s see some muscles!”, yelled the audience at the Freshman slave sale on September 16. Slave sale is a mild form of initiation organized by the senior class. Each fresh- man was called to the stage at random and then auctioned off to students and faculty. The freshmen then became slaves for the next day. While Darin Meeks acted as auction- eer, Greg Stewart and Sylvia Federico persuaded freshmen to do jumping jacks, lift weights, sing the fight song, yell cheers, and then even got boys to take off their shirts and flex their muscles. A few senior girls, Stephane Newman, Tanya Rush, Rachel Garrett, Tracey Elli- fritz, Lauri Roberts, and Sarah Babb, dressed up electric-punk style in order to promote spirit and to “encourage the freshmen to cooperate,” said Tanya. Other senior class members participat- ed by playing records, keeping lists of who had been bought and by whom, and escorting slaves to their owners and re- ceiving the money. The senior class made a profit of $530 selling slaves and Martha Salcido was sold for the highest price of $50. But the own- ers of slaves got their money’s worth. Their slaves washed cars before school, cleaned lockers, carried lunch trays and books, and wore funny costumes. The owners dressed their boy slaves as showgirls, cheerleaders, housewives with haircurlers, and even with bikinis over their clothes. Pajama clad girls brought their teddy bears, and others dressed up as clowns. Deborah Martinez fanned her owner, Garrick Stuhr, with a palm leaf. A few owners even led their slaves around campus on chain and rope leashes. The freshmen were the object of shouts and jeers on Thursday afternoon but by the end of the day on Friday, they had won their independence and a place in the life of the school. Debbie Wise proudly introduces her slave, Kevin Lawson, by the oleander bushes on slave day. Luis Cardenas concentrates on the Camp Verde football game. What A Royal Night It Was! Homecoming festivities took place during the October 8 Rams vs. Ajo football game. The candidates, attendants, escorts, 1981 Homecoming King and Queen, Gerardo Federico and Melanie Judd, 1972 Homecoming Queen, Gwyn Millner Dobson, and the crown bearers, Jason Cory and Jenny Lambert, got into their assigned cars and were driven to the float where they anxiously waited for the emcee, Jim Austin, to make the announcement. The crowd cheered as Zac Ortega and Anna Jones were named 1982 Homecoming King and Queen. Junior attendant Denise Douglas and escort Bud Mixon, sophomore attendant Marina Chabolla and escort Felip Torres, freshmen attendant Kim Culli- son and escort Octavio Herrera. Senior queen and king candidates. Tanya Rush, Zac Ortega, Anna Jones, Steve Mellage, Sylvia Federico, and Greg Stewart. Zac Ortega and Anna Jones were crowned 1982 Homecoming King and Queen.

Student Council members were always attending meetings to make decisions for the student body. Student Council members in our school learned democratic principles, how to delegate authority and exercise responsibilities. Its members were the presidents and the representatives of the classes and clubs on campus. Alma Barraza, who was the Junior Class president, said, “Being in Student Council gave us a chance to be involved and make important decisions for the school. It taught us how to be leaders.” But each decision Student Council passed, such as school dances, raffles, and concession stands, had to be approved by Mr. Bridger. The Student Council not only learned democratic principles, but also sponsored many of the school’s activities which included the Freshman Handshake Dance, the school-wide jog- a-thon, and Homecoming. Students participated in a variety of games during Homecoming week, including the three-legged race and the banana-eating contest. Class sponsors participated in the egg toss. One through four points were given for each activity and at the end of the day the points were added up. Sophomores won, followed by the Seniors, Juniors, and last but not least, the Freshmen. When Patricia Thompson was asked how she thought the games went, she said, “It was fun, but hopefully next year more people will get involved.” Annette Radford had a similiar opinion. It seemed to me that the same people participated in all the games because no one else would volunteer. Maybe we should add different games next year so it will be something new.” “I thought the games were fun this year. More people should have played the games, but it was still a lot of fun to watch who did. I think it will be better next year,” said Dunia Curiel. Now back to another meeting Alma Barraza.

Eugene Woods and Darin Meeks dodge an uncommon rainstorm 19 AGGIES LEARN THE FIELD Learning leadership, speaking in public, farming, raising animals, and crops kept the FFA members busy throughout the year. The Future Farmers of America Club has always been known for its organization and its hard working members. The land lab and livestock lab were two of the areas where members worked hard during class learning skills that would benefit their after school projects. Six members attended the National Convention in Kansas City Missouri in November; Paula Milam, Greg Stewart, Tanya Rush, Tony Hill, Garrick Stuhr, Melanie Judd and their advisor Mr. Crabtree. The Antelope Chapter had two state officers, Greg Stewart — State Treasurer and Tanya Rush — State Secretary, and there was also a district officer as well, Richard Miller — Sentinel. Many activities and money making projects were held throughout the year: parlimentary procedure, the chapter leadership conference, the Homecoming barbeque, and State Farmer Awards.

Some of them included: the fall conference and the Turkey shoot. Vica and FFA constructed a horse shoe game at the school ramada, and Vica club conducted an opening and closing ceremony at a Rotary meeting. In the fall the new officers were elected: President — YV Humphrey, Vice-President — Eugene Woods, Secretary — Maria Sanchez. Jose Rodriguez was Parlimentarian and Student Council Representative, while Club Reporter was Luis Hale. As the Vica members worked together they taught and learned from each other. As they washed their dirty elbows they remembered the past year. VICA Front row: Maria Sanchez, Carlos Coronado, Luis Hale, Renae Robertson, Rindi Nottingham, Tim Huff. Joe Ray and Cruz Carrillo.

SCIENCE GROUP FUELS UP WITH FUND RAISERS Selling carmel apples, T-shirts, and tickets for the movie “The Idol Maker” were some of the things the Science Club did this year. They had some guest speakers and also a couple of field trips. They went to San Diego and Arizona State University. These trips were fun and educational. Guest speakers addressed problems on drugs and other issues of interest to teens. The president of the Science Club was Lucie Icedo, the vice-president was Maria Sanchez, the secretary-treasurer was Elizabeth Herrera, sargeant-at-arms was Dunia Curiel, and Student Council Representative was Denise Douglas. Mr. Frans remarked, “The purpose of the Science Club is to promote an interest in science and in things concerning it.” SOLOISTS VIE FOR STATE HONORS SCIENCE CLUB: Front row: Marina Chabolla.

Joe Burleson and Duane Smith HOMEMAKERS STRIVE FOR ACTIVE YEAR FHA membership increased and more activities were planned to make the 82-83 year a profitable one for the chapter. The club started off the year by going to a convention in Tempe at Arizona State University from 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. While they were there they planned two activities for each month. Some of the activities were the Cinderella Ball and money raisers such as popcorn ball and carmel apple sales. Melody Langford was chosen to speak for the chapter at the convention. She said, “In February we planned a Sweetheart Ball with a school King and Queen, as a money making project.” During the convention to liven things up everybody participated in cheers. Before returning home they explored the exciting Metro Center. FHA also sponsored the Cinderella Ball, which was semi-formal. It was held at Antelope High School Cafeteria on November 13, 1982 from 7:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. They chose a queen and king, which had to be any senior boy and any senior girl in FHA. The members voted and the winners were announced at the Ball. The 1983 royalty were Leo Miranda and Lisa Millner. During February the club had FHA week. The fun began with twirp and twitter day. Twirps were boys and twitters were girls. At the end of the day the students with the most twirp or twitter hearts won a prize. Front row: Stephane Newman Second row: Lupe Soto.

ATHLETIC CLUBS MERGE If it wasn’t keychains, it had to be a ramskin, or was it programs at the next football game? A Lettermen Club member may have become confused by the many activities held by the club. The club raised money for sports trophies and sports camp scholarships. The Lettermen Club used to be the Varsity and A Clubs but it was combined into the Lettermen Club so that they could work together for the same goals. This way the clubs did not have to compete against each other. Cherilyn Wisby was asked if she liked being in the club and answered, “It’s a good club, and I like it!” The sponsors, Mr. Scott, Mr. Robinson, and Mrs. Johnson, kept the club busy and made sure that the members knew they had already sold programs and keychains so it must be ramskin this time.

Pep Club members wait for meeting to begin BOOSTERS HAVE A GOOD TIME What had 56 hands and feet plus 28 screaming mouths? The Pep Club- a club to promote school spirit helped our teams by supporting them during games. Maria Icedo was asked if she had a good time and replied, “Ya, because I like to be noisy, especially when there are games.” Claudia Reyes, secretary, was asked the same question and answered, “You get involved, and get a lot of spirit in school. She also remarked, “The Pep Club needs more spirit but is doing a better job than it has in the past years.” So those 28 mouths that cheered our players were doing their job. They supported and promoted school spirit. They even learned the fight song at Miss Lugo’s call. PEP CLUB Left (top to bottom): Misty Smith. Lau rie Lopez. Timberly Smith. Angela Lawler. Emma Young.

Its activities are designed to stimulate students interest in the culture of the Spanish speaking people of the world. It’s two main activities this year were making and selling empanadas which are a traditional pastry of the southwest, and a field trip to San Diego and Tijuana, Baja California Norte. There the club visited the San Diego Mission, several chapels, and two historic Spanish houses. Blasa Martinez, the Spanish Club president, said, “Being in the Spanish Club is fun. We go on trips and learn about a lot of things. It’s never the same thing.” SPANISH CLUB: Front row: Ana Espinoza, Alma Gonzalez, and Yolanda Gonzalez. Second row: Blasa Martinez. Benito Juarez.

Staff Meets Deadlines Sophomores, Felipe Torres and Nora Amavisca. were elected Desert Sands King and Queen when the sophomore class bought 38 yearbooks during the Desert Sands yearbook sales campaign December 15-January 7. Sponsoring the Desert Sands King and Queen contest is just one of the things that staff members do to create interest in the yearbook. They also write copy for the yearbook which entails interviews, collecting facts, and endless rewrites Staffers take, print, and select photographs from yearly activities, draw layouts, and endlessly try to figure out what it is that should be remembered. Finally, they are responsible for the job of raising funds through ad sales, yearbook sales, and often smaller fund raising activities. They cannot take their time doing these duties though They are given deadly DEADLINES! These are dates when a certain number of pages must be completed Members of the yearbook staff had very unique experiences while earning class credit After all. how many students can open the yearbook and say. “Hey. I did this page! Desert Sands King and Queen. Felipe Torres and Nora Amavisca, strike a pose Lauri Roberts confers with staff members Donna Rob- erts and Jeff Woodruff on an upcoming layout.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE Often when a senior graduates, he or she isn’t quite sure what they want to do. Getting out of high school can be frightening as well as exciting. One senior, Elizabeth Herrera, said, “I am glad to be graduating but I am still sad and a little scared to be leaving my friends. 1 know I will meet new people and make new friends. But I can say that I have always had a lot of fun here and will always have a lot of good memories.” A lot of seniors will go into college or to a vocational trade school. Others will go into the Armed Forces. Still others will work or just rest. After all, don’t they deserve it? 32 Jim Austin Sarah Babb Joseph Burleson Jaime Cadena Luis Cardenas Darlis Cates Joel Conner Alfred Cook Ray C.

Raffling off a Christmas turkey and holding a bingo were two ways they earned money. But the biggest money raiser was the snacks they sold at concession stands during the football season. Tracey Ellifritz, the senior class president, felt that many students did more than their share of work, “Most of the hard working students really wanted to go on the trip so they made up for the ones who didn’t want to go. There was always room for improvement, but it all turned out great.” Tanya Rush had a similar opinion, “The students who don’t plan on going on the trips don’t work very much.

Herrera Dares Spell Trouble! Mix a little liquor, a little macho, maybe a car or two, and you’ve got a bad accident ready to happen. A dare is one of the most compelling and deadly forms of peer pressure. Taking a dare is a very foolish manner in which to throw your life away. Leo Miranda said, “Some people dared me to climb a real steep hill on an ATC and halfway I got stuck and rolled back down. I realize now that taking that dare was stupid. He also told how it was when a crowd was around, “Being with a group is easier to get excited and carried away and it makes me want to take the dare. Louis Hale said, “Well, I would never be stupid enough to do dangerous or embarrasing dares. What Lisa Baker thought about dares was different. “I love to take dares only if they’re fun. I would take a risky dare only if was a matter of getting hurt a little or I would pass it.” No one can live a risk-free life. Some risks are necessary if a person is to grow. Some risks are foolish and dangerous. The danger signs are: liquor, drugs, wheels, plus a “who cares?” attitude. So on Friday night if the evening is likely to be dangerous get your friends and leave. The life you save may be your own.

It’s great!” said Richard Woodard with a big smile. He has been the drummer for the local rock band Head First. He also said that it’s really exciting and sometimes a bit embarrassing. Take, for instance, the 1982 Local Talent Show. Head First tied first place with another act. This was Richard’s most exciting moment ever with the band. It was also his most embarrassing moment on the stage. It seems he was surprised they did so well because he got off to a bad start. “I made a mistake when we first started plus the microphone wasn’t turned on. It seemed like everything just went wrong,” Richard explained. He knows it isn’t all fun. Getting nervous is one thing he had to get used to being a musician. Playing songs for a first time, new audiences and new places are a sure bet you’ll get nervous Richard Woodard, Antelope junior, looks forward to a career in music. but getting compliments from people has been very rewarding. It has given Rich a lot of confidence. Richard said that the results from the talent show brought the band closer together. The other members, Kenneth Baughman, Roger Rinehart, and Joe Burleson have just one big problem, finding a place to practice. Whenever they find a place to practice it seems that after a short period of time they have to find another. Richard’s main goal is to make drumming a career. He’s been playing steadily since the age of 16 and Head First is his first band. “Head First gives me a lot of fun and enjoyment, and a chance to look forward to a real neat career in life,” he said. A look of determination came across his face as he added, “I really have to push alot of things aside just to be in the band. It’s a choice you have to make alone.” 39 sophomores Teenage Expenses Can Make Your Budget Soar. “Mom, may I have some money please?” “I need $20.00 for a couple of tapes.” “Dad, money for gas please.” Students asked these familiar questions many times but some had to work for their money. Unfortunately, teenagers are heard asking for money because they do not have a job. Most teenagers spend money on motorcycles, cars, girls, guys, stereos, tapes, clothes, food, and yes, makeup. All of these things are important to teenagers. They enjoy spending their money with friends or on things they like. Antelope girls differed in their expenses from the many boys interviewed. Rebecca Moore commented, “I spend around $15.00 a month on clothes.” While Lucy Icedo said, “I have spent up to $40.00 on makeup at one time.” A sophomore, Randy Jones, commented, “I spent around $300.00 on my stereo.” Which is only a small indication of the importance and expense of music. Car stereos, home stereos, portable tape decks such as the popular Walkman can cost from $60.00 to $600.00. The tape sells from $8.99 and up. Some boys spend their money on cars. Jeff Woodruff said, “Supporting a fast car is worse than supporting a wife. Buying new tires, to keep up with a fast engine and to get to school!” However, not all students spend their money. Lance Madron said, “I do not spend much money because I am saving it for college.” Fortunately, some students do have jobs. They go to school full time and still hold a part time job. These are the students that will not be heard asking for money but will be saying “Mom, here is $50.00, go buy yourself something.” Ralph Brees.

But to many diabetics these are danger signals of an irregularity in their health. Diabetes is a sickness in which the body produces little or no insulin to break down and use the sugar that has been eaten. There are three stages that a diabetic goes through. The first is called Juvenile diabetes. During this stage the insulin can go either way, too high or too low. In the second stage the diabetic takes a pill to supplement their diet with important nutrients their bodies lack. The third stage can be controlled by diet alone. Rindi Nottinham, an Antelope sophomore, suffers from diabeties. It was in December 1976 that they discovered Rindi was a diabetic. As Rindi was growing up she needed alot of insulin. Rindi said, “Now that 1 have stopped growing or not growing as much my Bryan Blohm takes his blood sample in Mr. Robin- son’s biology class. insulin is lower.” When her sugar is too low she gets very shaky and feels weak. There have been times when Rindi has passed out and was taken to the hospital. When Rindi’s sugar is too high she gets alot of energy and gets clumsy. This happens when she cheats on her diet and has sodas, candy or some high sugar content food. The blood sugar level can also go too high with lack of activity or excessive excitement. Rindi is in the first stage and she must take insulin every day in the form of an injection. Rindi said, “It does not bother me taking shots every day. It is a natural thing for me to do every morning. I just do not sit around and think about it.” For many people diabetes is an inherited disease and they must adjust their lifestyle to stay healthy. Other people acquire diabetes by having a “sugar tooth” for too long. Careful diet can keep those weak knees and shaky hands a matter of just butterflies in the stomach. 43 sophomores Sharon Murphy Brenda Norton Sherry Norton Rindi Nottingham Maria Ortega Chris Pablo Richard Powell Hector Quintana Paula Quiroz Lupe Ramirez German Reyes Margarette Rivera Sonya Rivera Renae Robertson Maricela Rojano Kurt Romine Dalia Ramos Ana Sarabia Leon Shenton Billy Skinner William Stewart Garrick Stuhr Felipe Torres Cindy Tryon Doug Turgeon Book Costs Are Rising Cha-ching, cha-ching. “That comes to eighty dollars,” said the office lady. That’s a lot of money to pay just for school books, not including the P.E. suits and notebooks. One student, Curt Calaway, told what he thought about the rising cost of books priced higher and higher each year, “If the books cost a lot, people will take better care of them and get more money back at the end of the year.” No one likes getting stuck with a high bill. Alma Barraza found a solution to that problem, “I think it’s good that the bookstore will let students put our books on charge. That way we can pay later when we get the money or just pay a little at a time.” Book money is used by the school to purchase more books which are getting more expensive every day. But the students wish that they could get more money back at the end of the year for their books. “It seems like we get less money back each year. We pay a lot, but at least the school buys new textbooks for us just about every year.” said Patricia Thompson. Our school books may cost quite a lot, but is it worth it? The choices are to use old textbooks and learn information that is seven or eight years old, or pay a higher price for books that are up to date. Jeff Woodruff said, “With the moving trend to higher education the cost of our books will pay off in the long run.” Now, about that bill Sophomore girls paint their faces for Halloween.

I’m Homecoming queen and I was voted Miss Popularity. I’m so busy with my school activities that I had to turn down some dates, but no biggie. I’ve still got a date with the football captain!” Being popular means you are accepted. After all, it’s the popular girl and boy who win class elections, get dates and can handle any situation with ease. They appear to have it all, but do they? There are lots of pressures placed on popular kids especially by their friends. They are expected to act and dress and do things that their group does. If they don’t they risk being excluded. One student, Lauri Roberts said, “Even though students don’t like to admit it, they do some things just because their friends do whether its smoking, buying certain brands of clothes, or doing the “in” things. This Students rush to club meetings during homeroom. Juan Reyes models during Slave Day on the com- pound as a display of Freshman Spirit. makes them popular.” Some students feel that popularity is not important. You don’t have to join the football team or be the most likely to succeed to be popular,” Elsa Cadena commented, “in my opinion, being popular means having true friends, even if it means to have only three or four friends.” Most social groups are formed on the basis of common interests. “Check out our school’s crowd,” said Julie Syck, a student at Antelope, “chances are the volleyball and football team hang around together, and so do the people in other clubs.” Teenagers need to feel like they belong and fit in, which is the reason they do things their friends want. Just as there are no certain paths to success there are no guaranteed paths to popularity but remember “popularity is not everything.” Teenagers Find Self-doubt A Common Ringgg!! The student opened one eye and looked at his alarm clock. Seven in the morning. UGH! Should he get up or not? The past week was full of problems: he had flunked two tests, gotten a flat tire, locked himself out of his car, and to top it all, his girl was going out with his best friend. He thought, “I’ll always be a loser.” He was experiencing self doubt. Self-doubt, the lack of faith in oneself, is the common feeling of “I can’t do that. I’m too dumb,” or “she won’t like me. I’m too ugly.” Most teenagers have doubts about themselves but when asked if he had ever experienced them Mario Felix said, “No, but teenagers are the ones who have self-doubt more than adults, I guess because adults are more mature.” “Sometimes I feel like I don’t feel sure of myself and it makes me feel lowdown and unwanted,” said Laura Espinoza, “and if someone comes along who cheers me up I feel better but Experience then if nobody comes along I just feel that way all day.” But teenagers aren’t the only ones who experience doubt. “Every person reaches a difficult time in their life when they are full of doubt, it’s only natural. The only way to overcome it is to set positive goals and work consistently towards achieving them.” said Ms. Hogan. Another way to get over self doubt and gain confidence is to recall all the good things that have been accomplished and when a goal has been reached, enjoy the satisfaction of achievement. Self-doubt can be an agonizing life- long companion or an infrequent visitur that accompanies the normal changes in life. The choice to keep facing life’s daily challenges will insure that self- confidence has more power than self- doubt. Alma Barraza and Efrcn Rojas climb A Mountain during Homecoming.

They have been running this school like clock work. Their duties include meeting with the school board, enforcing school rules, planning classes and schedules, counseling students and meeting with members of the community. These seemingly endless duties are what makes all the classroom learning possible. Mr. Grande has been our Superintendent for seven years. He has been a resident of Arizona for 16 years. He handles the budgeting of Antelope. Mr. Bridger has served as assistant principal and principal since 1960. He was a business teacher for 15 years before that. From 1956 to 1967 he taught business full time and from 1967 to 1971 he taught it part time. He has lived in Arizona for 27 years. When asked if he enjoyed being a principal his remark was “Some days”. Finally he said “Yes I enjoy it.” He plans to retire within the next three years. Mr. Gray has been the counselor here for 11 years. He has lived in our state for 26 years. Over the years he has taken students on trips to Europe during the summer vacations. He had a lot to do with testing that included the ACT, ASVAB, and standardized testing. Before becoming the counselor he taught American Government and American History. When asked, if he liked being here at Antelope, he said, “Very, very much. I’d never do anything else.” ' Mr. Grande, Mr. Bridger and Mr. Gray worked as a team to keep Antelope running smoothly. When they met students it wasn’t always for friendly conversations but as administrators of a complicated system that required their many skills and talents. School Board Members Get Down To Business The Antelope Union High School Board consists of five members who meet on the first Monday of each month and discuss many subjects relating to the school. Some subjects discussed are the budget, disciplinary measures and school policies. The Wellton area is represented by Bobby Smith, John Verschoor and Keith Milam. The Roll area is represented by Wayne Stuhr and Carole Rush represented Dateland.

In Biology he tried to answer any question a student asked him if it was related to the subject being studied. He was also the head coach for the girls basketball team.

Once the class had a race to see who could find different kitchen utensils first. Throughout the year she taught all her classes on the same level so next year she would know what to expect from the students. She was also assistant coach in volleyball and girls basketball. “How rude. Push in your chairs,” was Ms. Lugo’s favorite sayings. Ms. Lugo taught Typing I, Typing II, Office Management and Accounting. She was an active teacher with iier sponsorship of the spirit leaders and the pep club. The business department acquired an Apple Computer and she used it for many jobs. One example was the copy typed for the yearbook. Ms. Hogan lectures on film types to her photogra- phy class. Ms. Lugo takes a break before 6th period. Mr. Robinson takes roll. 57 Kay Scott Vickie Gomez Mary Lou Martinez Hallie Pelfrey □ Po V___J Language Comes In Different Forms Anyone who entered the cafeteria was assailed by not only the smells of fresh bread baking but also the glorious sounds that came out of the bandroom. Mr. Bechtloff taught Beginning Instrument, Guitar I, Guitar II, Band, Music Lessons and Vocal. He emphasized rhythm, ear training and musical interpretation in his teaching. His goal was to build and substain a strong musical program in the school. Even though he had a lot to do at school directing the band and chorus Mr. Bechtloff played with the Arizona Western College Jazz Ensemble. He Mr Bechtloff instructs band class Mr Amon assists students during a reading session also corresponded with Pure Prairie League and tried to negotiate a concert at the Yuma Civic Center. Mr. Amon and his four aides were involved in assisting students. They were in charge of the Migrant and Title I programs. The Migrant program helped students who traveled from school to school during their education with their school work. The Title I program helped students who read two levels below their grad level and needed extra help. These programs dealt mostly with language and reading. The aides helped in other classes. Often class room teachers sent some of their students to the Migrant room to study for exams or get help on an assignment. Mr. Amon was also the Athletic Director. He had a lot of responsibility with the job. For example, he was responsible for distributing the money, setting up the schedules for the sports seasons, and making sure all the sports equipment was returned. Mr. Amon and his four aides might not work with everybody in this school, but the students they did help made the job rewarding.

She was also the head coach for the Volleyball team. Coach Scott taught P.E. and weight training classes while coaching football, basketball and baseball. When asked what his favorite sport was he replied, “Basketball, because it has lots of action, good team sport and lots of situations.” Mr. Scott surveys his P.E. class from the sidelines. Mr. Linn and Mr. Crabtree get together to inspect the new equipment. 60 Mr. Steve Scott BA Physical Education Sophomore sponsor Technical Work Focus Of Courses Mr. Crabtree taught the ag and general shop classes. His freshman class was taught Intro to Agriculture, his sophomore class worked in the shop and the labs, while his junior and senior classes worked with the newly acquired computer. Mr. Crabtree, who sponsored the Future Farmers of America chapter, had members that held two state offices and one district office. His land lab was completed after two years of work. Mr. Kissel’s taught general shop and auto classes. When asked how they did this year he replied “they were the best I’ve had since I’ve been at Antelope.” He was also involved in VICA a club for students interested in vocational industries. “We were busier than ever before. There was more involvement in the community and school.” The auto shop took on a new appearance as it sported the large blue and gold VICA emblem on the two front doors. Mr. Linn taught general shop, woods, and welding classes. He combined classroom study with practical skills. The students spent many weeks in the classroom before approaching the complicated tasks of the shop. These vocationally oriented classes were valuable in helping students acquire and build practical skills that would aid them in selecting and pursuing careers after graduation. 61 Mr. Gary Raether B.A. English Senior sponsor Mr. Brian Johnson B.S. Education Sophomore sponsor Basics Rank High Mr. Frans taught many different subjects such as chemistry, general math, pre- algebra and physics. He set many goals and high among these were an understanding of the subjects that he taught, and citizenship among his students. Mr. Frans included classroom experiments as well as field trips to supplement the daily study. “I took my chemistry class to a copper mine in Ajo and to the Palo Verde power plant in Phoenix and my physics class to the Yuma Proving Grounds,” he said. Mr. Frans spoke about his classes. “I enjoy them because I like variety,” he said. Mr. Raether taught English II and English III as well as a reading class. He often surprised his classes with a quiz. His English classes were required to read at least one novel in a six week period to pass the class. However, many students enjoyed reading the novels and didn’t think of it as required work. Mr. Raether was also famous for his research paper that kept junior English students plowing through the library for six weeks in the spring. Mr. Raether explains an assignment in his English II class dealing with sentence struc- ture. Mr. George Chavez M.A. Education Junior sponsor 62 oyoD Key Languages Reveal The Sources Of Culture Mr. Johnson’s main activities centered on teaching his English I and IV classes but an additional course in reading kept him busy in the migrant room as well. The freshmen and seniors will long remember his tough assignments that kept them burning the midnight oil and exploring new types of literature and old standards in grammar. Mr. Johnson coached junior varsity football and baseball and was often seen on the sidelines encouraging the many other sports teams. Spanish and social studies were the subjects taught by Mr. Chavez. He kept his classes busy learning things as diverse as the mechanics of a foreign language to edible plants of the Sonoran desert. Mr. Chavez sponsored the Spanish club and also organized two interesting tours through southern Arizona and northern Mexico. On these trips his students had the opportunity to visit missions established by Father Kino in the late eighteenth century as well as other historical sights such as the presidio in Tucson, Arizona. In addition the travelers became acquainted with the festivities surrounding the fea$t day of St. Francis in Magdelena, Sonora, and the delicious foods of the southwest from Papago fry bread to fresh quince preserves from the San Ignacio valley. Mr Frans emphasizes his general math lesson with hand gestures.

They typed the bulletin, sold supplies, answered the phone and got students their lunch tickets. They kept the office running smoothly by doing both little and big things and kept kids out of trouble when they needed an admit to class and hadn’t brought a note. Mrs. Figueroa is the new book store clerk and she feels, “It’s not a hard job, but there’s so many little things to do.” Mrs. Henry is the teachers right- handman. She also enjoys her work. Mrs. Bowman is Mr. Grande’s secretary, takes care of students accounts, and the payroll. She says, “It’s not hard but there’s enough to keep me busy.” They all did a good job keeping us all happy. One student at Antelope, Elba Lopez, said, “I like the office ladies. They always have a smile on their face.” We wouldn’t have made it through the year without them. Whatever the problem they were there. 64 SPECIAL STAFF HELPS OUT Everyone knew that if they needed a pick me up they could have a ‘shot’ of JOHNNY WALKER provided by the school. Mr. Walker was our school Director psychologist of Antelope Cooperative for exceptional students. He also directed special education at Wellton, Mohawk, and Dateland schools. The organization also included, Mrs. Truett the speech therapist, and Mrs. Johnson, ACES secretary. Mr. Walker said, “I really like my job. It’s alot of fun- never a dull moment.” At Antelope he had 35 students and about 200 total in the entire valley. He provided counseling to both parents and students with emotional and academic problems. “You really, really do not have to be CRAZY to see a psychologist,” he said. Anybody could have seen him. “You just have to be serious, not just trying to get out of your fifth period class,” Mr. Walker added. Mrs. Truett was the speech therapist for all four schools also. She went to all the schools and worked with the students with speech and hearing problems. As a team all three of these talented people provided special services to the school and community. Mrs. Johnson Aces Secretary Carol Truett B.S. Clinical Speech Pathology and Audiology Mrs. Vaughn checks over figures for an important account. Mr. Johnny Walker gets ready for another busy day as Director of Antelope Co operative for Exceptional Students. Mrs. Figueroa helps out at the bookstore. 65 66 Mrs. Banks Mrs. Finfrock Mrs. Moser Mrs. Rinehart Hard Working Cooks Get Meals Brewing For Kids The cafeteria ladies had a hard job. They had to start early in the morning and fix government standard meals for at least 250 hungry teenagers. They also had to consider what students would like and keep the meals filling and tasty. However, the biggest consideration they had was staying in the school budget, especially since the students only paid forty cents per lunch. They were all relied upon by the students to help out in times of need. For instance when the junior class sold snow cones, the cafeteria allowed them to store the ice in the freezers in the kitchen. Mrs. Rinehart said, “It always made us feel good when someone said, “boy! that sure smells good. And of course when the kids came running back to snatch up the last tray of pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches or hot wheat rolls the ladies knew that their efforts had been well rewarded. Maintenance Provides Services Performing their many duties, our maintenance staff kept the school running as smoothly as possible all year long. They were best known for driving the big, 48 passenger, yellow school busses. While driving they listened to the students yell at the top of their voices for the entire trip to and from school. At Antelope a morning ride just might mean two hours on the road before the students were delivered safely to the campus. They also chauffered team after team to the out of town games. They were with us during wins and losses. Mike Eddy, one of the bus drivers, said, “I like all of the kids who ride my bus. I never, hardly, have any trouble.” But these workers did much more than drive busses, they were all around super fix-it men on campus. They were in charge of overcoming all disasters such as overflowing toilets, burned out light bulbs, or even sparkless spark- plugs. Whatever the problem, either Charley, Bob, Warren or Earl would be called upon. They also kept our campus clean and litter free. Which wasn’t easy on those days we had ICEY JUICEES and hardly anyone was able to find a garbage can to stick the empty wraper. They were busy to the last day and deserved a big thank you. especially since it was 120 degrees and the air conditioner was humming along. Mr Bridger pitches in on the serving line at lunch time in the cafeteria. Charlie McDaniels, maintenance staffer and bus driver also coached the boys during football season Earl Lockett. Warren Rupe. Mike Eddy, and Bob Gonzales take a break from their labors on the maintenance staff. 67 CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS SPORTS NAQUIN FARMS INC. Roll, Arrizona NAQUIN LASER CONGRATULATIONS SENIORS MILLER AND SON RANCHES O' s£ WM Cheerleaders Spark School Spirit Popularity could have been their motive, but no, the 1982-83 Antelope Spiritleaders were out to keep the school spirit high. The Spiritleaders started the season off in the right foot with most of the girls attending the National Cheerleader Association camp held at Arizona State University. The camp lasted two nights and three days. “The camp was a very good experience and I recommend the camp to the future Spiritleaders,” said 1982-83 Varsity Spiritleaders: Kathy Henry, Dunia Curiel, Jill Kienow, Elizabeth Herrera, Sara Grande. Dannette Millner and Charla January. Kathy Henry. Were there any first game jitter bugs? “Yes, my first time cheering,” replied Elizabeth Herrera, but Charla January and Dannette Millner said, “The only time we were really nervous was when we tried out our new hair cuts on parent’s night.” When it came to dance routines Elizabeth felt nervous even though she knew the routine. What about the Junior Varsity Squad, were they nervous? “I was because I had never cheered for a High School game before,” replied Renae Robertson, but Debra Martinez wasn’t because she cheered in grade school before. The new Spiritleaders, with the help of the Pep Club, kept the crowds going. “It was easy to keep the spirit up when the Pep Club was around,” said Debra. However, when the Varsity Spiritleaders expected a great turnout for the opening basketball game they were let down due to a power failure that blacked out the gym and caused the game to be cancelled. Even though the Spiritleaders weren’t allowed to travel along with the teams they dressed in school colors on game days to promote spirit. I 70 There were many different reasons why the girls tried out. Charla January said “I thought it was fun and involved school spirit.” Missy McWhorter felt it would help her meet people and teach her how to lead people. ‘‘It was fun and I like to make people peppy,” was how Melody Langford felt. Whether or not they were popular made no difference to these girls. They were out for the fun, games and spirit!! 1982-83 Junior varsity Spiritleaders: Melody Lang- ford, Missy McWhorter.

Ram Goals Stress Self- Discipline “Down, set, hike!”, “Come on you guys we need to get some touchdowns in these quarters in order to win against CETYS. We have to win this one for Antelope!” The season opener was against the CETYS Zorros. The Rams were defeated with a score of 0-28. It was a bad game for the Rams but it was their first step in becoming a football team. The Rams had a tough season. There were many injuries during the football season like Richard Millers’ cracked ribs playing against the Camp Verde Cowboys and Scott Guy was having problems with his back while Steve Mellage dislocated his shoulder against Ajo during Homecoming and didn’t finish the season. There were many bruises, sprains, pulls, dislocations but somehow they managed to get through the season. Some of their disappointing moments were against the Holtville Wildcats 7-6 and Bradshaw Bears 22-42. However Bud Mixon said, “One of our best games was against San Pasqual because everyone put their best effort into the game. We wanted to win that game so much!” One of the things Bud felt was that he accomplished many things playing football such as being more responsible and also being more dependable in working with his teammates. Other team members learned about themselves and adapted well to their losses and wins. Ruben Federico commented, “Sometimes it takes more brains than muscles, you have to be quick to outsmart the other team.” Teamwork was the key for the Rams. Scott Guy spoke of the Rams’ teamwork, “Sometimes tt was pretty good but a few times there were only a few of us playing a 100 percent effort. It takes everyone to make a good team.” The team was led by Coach Robinson, Coach Scott and Coach Snow. Coach Robinson commented, “I enjoyed the season but 1 felt the outcome could have been better and different for the boys who stuck it out the whole year. I’m proud of the under classmen that gained valuable experiences. Hopefully they learned self-discipline, pride, respect, and responsibility. They can look in a mirror and see a true picture of what they are if they gave 100 percent participation.” Coach Scott spoke, “The guys who we finished with did a good job but we will never know what could have come out because we had too many guys hanging out on the sidelines that should have been playing and there wasn’t enough participation.” The Rams ended their season with a record of 2-7. With all the joys and unpleasant lessons in the season the Rams kept their pride up! 73 JVs Keep High Hopes Thru Season “Alright, let’s run through this play again. Get it straight! You guys have got to hustle in order to win and be good. Come on, you can do it!” In the beginning of the Junior Varsity season there were many complaints about the heat and the hard work! “Boy, was it tough the first weeks of our football season. To me most of the things, such as plays, were new to me,” said Mario Felix. All the hard work began to show for 74 the 21 boys who stuck with the team, “Not everyone participates and I wish they did because then we could really compete against the other schools that are better and have a good team”, said Cruz Carrillo. Richard Powells commented, “The more people that go out for any sport, the more of a team there is. It would be great if everyone gave their share!” They started the season by competing against the Ajo Raiders 0-28 and the San Pasqual Warriors 0-14. Rudy Geronimo spoke of his season, “We didn’t start off too well but there were many new experiences for me. I learned to be responsible and to work with my teammates.” Martin Icedo commented, “It took a lot of hard work. Our playing did increase little by little as the year went on. Our best game was against the Holtville Wildcats because we were giving everything we had! We wanted to win so bad and we were really hustling but we lost 20-40!” Raymond Powells commented, “We expected a lot from each other and from the community. We needed a lot of support for our games. We needed all this just to have a good football season.” Hard work was just one of the goals they accomplished for the team. “We did achieve that goal for us even though we had a losing season. To me every game was more than a football game. We needed to work together because sometimes it’s tough when the other team is bigger than us,” commented Billy Skinner. When asked why they stuck with the team if there were that many disappointments, Martin Icedo commented, “Maybe we had many ups and downs, but when everyone showed up, we knew we would stick together no matter how good or bad of a season we had!” The team was led by Coach McDaniels and Coach Johnson. The Juniors Varsity team finished their season with a record of 6-0.

It crossed the net, slammed unto the court. Smoke rose where it was last seen. An Olympic volleyball player or our very own Antelope Rammette? That was the question on the lips of every Rammette fan. The Rammettes started their season playing against Holtville and losing their 76 first game 6-5, 15-10 and 4-10. Following that game was the Lake Havasu Tournament in which they placed third. Some of the best games for the girls were against Palo Verde with a score of 5-15, 15-6, and 15-3 and also the Gila Bend game 14-16, 15-12, and 15-4. Shelly Ward thought differently, The game against Gila Bend was a bad game for us because we had trouble shaking off our mistakes.” Julie Syck spoke of the season, Our volleyball season was great. We all gave it all we could but next year we are going to get state!” Under Mrs. Johnson’s coaching the team came in third at the B-West Conference. They were defeated by Joseph City in the third round so they had to play against Maricopa to determine who was to take third at the B-West Divisional Tournament This was Coach Johnson’s second year at Antelope. Annie Auza commented, One of Mrs. Johnson’s best qualities was that she could always put things in perspective when our team was down.” Cherilyn Wisby also commented. She always prepared us mentally and physically for our games and she let us know what we had to work for what we want!” And Lisa Baker added, Mrs. Johnson didn’t only help me become a better volleyball player, she helped me do other things with a better attitude.” They did work hard and one of the goals that the girls hoped to accomplish for themselves and the team was going to the State Tournament. Shelly said, It’s okay about not going. We gave it our best shot and everybody stuck in there through our volleyball season!” One of the Rammettes good qualities was teamwork. Anna Jones spoke of the teamwork, Everybody got along with their teammates and our teamwork was good. We knew what to do in different situations. I believe we were the best team in conference in ability and sportsmanship wise!” And Annie also commented We had it when we needed it the most!” Their accomplishment was quite obvious by their ending record of 14-9. Now the smoke of vaulted, falling, volleyballs has cleared but the memory of a stinging year will stay. Shelly Ward (12) smashes the ball into other players court.

The Rammettes has a season record of 7-4. The team consisted of 7 players. The JV as well as the Varsity suffered from loss of players. Having no substitutes most of the time it was very hard on the girls but that didn’t stop them. Kim Cullison commented, “At times it was pretty bad for us but when everybody contributed, we managed to make it through our ups and downs in volleyball!” Some of the victories they achieved were against Mariocpa 12-15, 15-6, and 15-9 and also Palo Verde 10-15, 15-0, and 15-11. Pam Hand, a veteran volleyball player commented, “We had a good season. Once when we played against against Ajo and lost with a score of 15-3, 0-15, and 4-15. We won our first match but lost the other two because we couldn’t handle the competition. Another time we played Bagdad and there wasn’t any competition at all so we goofed around but still won 15-3, 15-1!” To help the JV put victories under their belts was Coach Pooler. Shannon Hibbard commented, “Coach Pooler was always able to relate to us. She put up with alot off of us but still stuck with us even when we lost!” Alma Barraza said, “She helped us with any problems of volleyball or any personal problems. It was easy for us to confide her as a coach and a friend.” When asked what the players accomplished in volleyball Pam replied. 78 “I made lots of friends and tryed to give my share at the games!” Melinda Langford commented, “I improved my playing which will be great help in my coming years. One thing I have to admit is that it is alot harder then grade school!” Alma added, “I accomplished being able to take winning or losing. When we won it was a reward for all the hard work we put in especially for all the laps we ran around the court. One thing though, I achieved more leadership abilities and gained alot more friendship which is most important.” Ms. Pooler, as well as the fans were usually sitting on the edges of their seats tense, excited, and praying for a Rammette victory. Coach Pooler commented, “I was glad to end with a winning season and the girls played well through the season. They accomplished better skills in playing. Even though we had rough times, no matter how bad or good it was, it was usually exciting and nerve racking.” The JV team occasionally grumbled as they had to meet as a team to excerise and pick up their feet to jog a few laps but in the end they gathered their fame.

Was it female or male? That was the mystery unsolved by many at Antelope. Mr. Ram was our school mascot. Every couple of games he would put in an appearance. He got the crowd moving and always had Antelope fans cheering. Lucy Icedo commented, “1 love Mr. Ram and I’m not the only one who does. He shows a lot of school spirit.” Mr. Ram was definitely a symbol of school spirit. But what has school spirit come to mean in the eighties? Ernie Grover said, “anything that the students get involved in. It doesn’t matter how big or small.” Thoughout the year all the students had a chance to show their school spirit. Being in pep band, on a sports team, cheerleading, participating in school clubs, or just going to the games 80 to cheer for the teams. Kendall Howell said, “Everything you do in high school will be remembered forever. It will give us something to talk about at the reunions.” Rosi Hernandez commented, “I think our spirit could be better. Everyone should participate a little more.” Ernie Gover said, “If people wouldn’t be embarrased to stand out in a crowd our spirit would improve fifty percent.” “School spirit is a mythical beast that lives in the heart of the involved,” said Ms. Hogan. Could that mythical beast be embodied in the spirit of Mr. Ram? And, is it time we unveiled that masked woman? Lisa Milliner takes a nap after a long Key Club trip to Phoenix. Kathy Henry poses for a picture at Homecoming game. Kendall Howell, Annie Auza, Dusty Shill, Anna Jones, Cindy Tryon walk in the school jogathon. It Crawls! It Walks! It Jogs! “You can jog, walk, or crawl.” That’s what all Antelope students heard while preparing for the school jog-athon. December 8, 1982, Antelope held their first annual jog-athon. It was to raise money for all the clubs on campus. Each club member went out into the community, begged their parents, and wrote to out of town friends and relatives to ask for pledges. Over thirty students jogged to raise money for their favorite club. Most of the students also received t-shirts for getting twenty or more pledges. Ernie Grover jogged the most laps. He jogged more than 100 laps. Garrick Stuhr and Tony Hill pause to give their mascot some affection. Ernie Grover shows us how it’s done at the jo- gathon. 81 Varsity Bounces To State On February 5, the Antelope gymnasium was filled with tension and excitement. The score was 48-49 with the Bagdad Sultans in the lead. Then with 11 seconds left in the game, Darin Meeks passed the ball to Johnny Calvin who put the ball through the hoop which led the Rams to a one point victory and brought them from third place to second in the B-West Southern Conference. That game was one of the most exciting games of the basketball season according to Darin Meeks, “that was a great game because they were on our tail until the end.” Another favorite game was the game against Maricopa on February 11. The Rams controlled the game from the beginning and won 83-60. “It was my favorite game because it made us conference champs,” said Efrain Rojas. Then on February 18-19, the Rams played Bradshaw Mountain, Camp Verde, and Bagdad in the B-West Divisionals. The Rams won all of the three games and became the B-West Divisional champs. On February 24, they lost to Round Valley 52-50 in the state championship. The beginning of the season was disappointing for the varsity Rams. They lost seven of their first eight games. Their spirit was down, Coach Scott was disappointed and worried, and the rest of the season looked gloomy. Then in January, the Rams began to win games. Scott Guy said one reason the Rams began winning was a change of strategy. “We weren’t hitting the postmen (tallest players) enough and when we figured that out, we started winning,” he said. While all of the players agreed that winning was fun, most of them felt that it wasn’t the most important part of basketball. They felt that how they played the game was very important. As Johnny Calvin said, “Winning isn’t the most important thing because you can play your worst and win, and play your best and lose.” High on the list of important aspects of basketball was teamwork. The team members agreed that a team has to be able to work together to reach a goal. In fact, Scott Murphy felt that one of the most important things that he had gotten from the sport was “how to work and get along well with people.” Whatever each player got out of basketball this season, one thing was certain— the great lift of the miraculous comeback will always be remembered.

They learned many new things such as drills, plays, and how to work together as a team. The two teams played interchangeably. “This created a problem,” said Jesse Quiroz, “because by the end of both the Freshmen and J.V. games, I was so tired that I could have died. Neither team had a good season. The team had multiple problems. Rafael Ramirez commented on a couple of them. “I can’t speak for the whole team, but 1 feel that a little support from the school would give us a little bit of extra spirit and someone to win for beside ourselves. Another one was that we didn’t take the practices seriously.”' Jesse Quiroz said, “The main problem was that all of our players were short so we missed a lot of rebounds that should have been ours. The other teams had taller guys.” He continued saying, “We were KILLERS. We ran our rears off every game because we were so small. We had to really hustle our defense against those big guys.” Felipe Torres commented on other problems, “Everyone messed around in practice and still expected to play a good game of basketball. It just doesn't work that way. If we had won more games, we would gave built up our confidence and won more games.” Dohn Hawthorne commented on the teamwork, “The team had a lot of problems with teamwork because there were too many ball hogs and too much individualism.” Ricky Calvin said, “1 think teamwork is very important, and if ours would have been better, we would have had a better season.” The J.V. ended their season with a 3-12 record and the freshman 2-11. “If we had another month of games to play, we would have ended with a better season because we were on a hot streak at the end. The kids we had were really great, but they were always tired at the end of the game,” said Coach Johnson. “There were no juniors on the team this year, so next year we should have an awesome team,” said German Reyes. “We went up against some tough teams that weren’t even in our league, but these guys gave it their all and never gave up. Everybody associated with these Rams should be proud of the contribution they made throughout the year. I was happy to coach this bunch. Thanks boys, for a great season,” said Coach Lynn. He continued, “If I had this year to do again, I wouldn’t do a single thing differently.” Tim Rush takes a break Rams Brian Blohm. German Reyes (30), and Ter- ranee Kisto (34) await a rebound.

Our opponents who became our friends,” said Norma Coronado. The initation of of the freshmen and the time we sent them on a treasure hunt and dumped mayonnaise on the coachs’ hair,” noted Misty Smith. These were some of the memories the Varsity Rammettes will cherish of their season. They also carried a sense of accomplishment along with the memories. Some of the things that the girls accomplished were learning how to play basketball, having self displine and being didicated to the team. Norma commented, “You need skills in order to play basketball but you have to be willing to play and have the patience to work.” Cherilyn Wisby added, A person can be a good player by what their attitude is about basketball!” The coach who helped them accomplish these skills was Mr. Robinson, a former coach from the Gila Bend Monster Den. He guided them to a winning season with a conference record of 5-2. “Mr. Robinson was a friend who tryed to see what was wrong with the team and ourselves,” noted Norma. Yarida Bravo commented, “He gave us advice on basketball and helped us to achieve our goals for ourselves and the team.” During tha Ajo and the Gila Bend games the Rammettes demostrated their abilities to play aggresive basketball. The girls traveled to Gila Bend and were losing by 20 points but they pulled together as a team and family and won 52-44. Ajo had a zone record of 8-0 but the Rammettes gave them competition in their games. On Feburary 11. the Rammettes went to Ajo to participate in the B-West Divisionals. 86 They played against Williams and lost 38-39. Williams in the end took first over the Ajo Raiders to make them the winners. Winning is important in any sport but some of the girls thought differently. Julie Syck said, “Even though you lose a game it isn’t important as long as you have given your all.” Alma commented, “Mr. Robinson once said if you lose its my fault not yours. He made us see that winning wasn’t important. Its not whether you win or lose but how you play the gamee game.” The foot pounding echo has died. Not only skid marks were left but the memories of a challenging year for the Rammettes. Cherilyn Wisby (11) looks for help from teammates.

The J.V. girls experienced many feelings such as being scared and excited at the same time. Not that many people realize the hard work and dedication that was put into this sport. They had to learn the plays and the facts about basketball. The J.V. Rammettes consisted of six players which was a problem for the team because there was only one or two substitutes. Blanca Sanchez commented. “I 88 wish more people would go out for a sport because there are some players who have talent but don’t go out. if they did Antelope would have some pretty good teams.” Olga Lopez said, “It was sometimes hard on us but little by little we improved.” Some of the improvements were learning how to play with each other and being a team. Melinda Langford commented, “We had to trust each other when we were playing under pressure. Carmen Aguilera added, “It was difficult in the beginning because everything was all new to us. We learned a lot together through the season.” Coach Pooler also learned how to coach. Since it was her first year coaching she was pretty tense and wasn’t too sure what would happen. But having the right attitude and being confident got them all off to a good start. Coach Pooler commented. “As J.V. Basketball Coach I enjoyed learning more about the sport and of course spending time with the girls! Olga commented. “Ms. Pooler did a good job with us. She and Mr. Robinson helped us to have a positive attitude about the sport and losing.” The J.V. girls started off with a bad losing streak but as the year came to an end they had some successful wins against Bagdad, Gila Bend, Bobaquivari, and some other teams. They learned the facts of basketball by winning and losing. Veronica Rodriguez said, “We had a bad start and we couldn’t get it together but when we did, we had some good games.” The J.V. girls weren’t just nervous about playing basketball for the first time, they were inexperienced. When the coach gave them instructions it was like learning a new language. But they listened well and they improved a lot. “They always had the plays going for them but at times they didn’t know how to put them together, “said veteran player, Lucy Icedo. She continued, “Those few girls who always showed up had a lot of spunk because they didn’t ever have a break with only six players.’’ Melinda Langford (32) goes for the rebound against an opponent Olga Lopez (25) watches closely during the match against the Gila Bend Monsters Veronica Rodriguez (12) drives had down the home court J.V. Cheerleaders Jennifer Conner, Renae Robert- son. and Melanie Langford crank up spirit at the girl’s game. Carmen Aguilera (31) and Olga Lopez (25) prepare for the jump ball rebound. Tension A Shared Threat To Athletes Pressure is a common feeling every athlete experiences. When pressure is aimed at one particular player, nerves and fear effect their game. One mistake or one excellent play can decide who will win or lose an entire game. Imagine being the pitcher in this game The score was 7-8. The tension was unbearable as the pitcher prepared to stay in the lead. He threw a strike and the home team crowd roared. There was another hush from the crowd. The pitch he gave off was a spinner. The batter struck missing by a fraction of an inch. The next ball decided the future of the team. The pressure was so extreme that a conference was called between the coach and the pitcher. Back in their positions the pitcher was a little more confident. He pitched the ball. The batter swung the bat with all his might. As he hit the ball he knew it would go towards the far left field. Tension was now on the left fielder, who must catch this ball in order for the team to win. He started moving to find the exact position best suited to catch the ball. The ball as if in slow motion came tumbling down into his glove. The crowd roared. The left fielder seemed to have lost his balance. The ball came out of the glove. Could he catch it again before it touched the ground? He gained his balance just in the nick of time to catch the ball. He instantly became the hero for the day So much for TENSION!

One by one, each gives you a big, friendly smile and a thank you. What a rewarding spring sport! So many students around campus are not given credit for their dedication to their chosen sport. A lot of practice, patience, and time goes into leaning up against an uncomfortable wall and waiting for a super handsome guy or a pretty girl to strut by. It takes quite an intelligent person to be able to spot these unofficial sports. The results of the competition are never announced in the bulletin and their titles never appear on the athletic budget, but the participants can really be seen in the spring. For instance, Frisbee playing in the middle of campus is a very popular spring sport. Did you ever notice how players sort of toss the frisbee in the direction of a person whom they have had their eye on for some time? Now, thats a PRO attention getter! And then there are the sportsters who sit in the exact same spot every day at lunchtime. They can be classified as the DOERS or the OBSERVERS The doer sits down on the same old. worn-out-spot, day after day. and makes conversation with other people who happen by. The OBSERVER, now, he knows just about where every worn down spot is located and to whom it belongs. This person gets a kick out of his collected intelligence and knowledge. Cruisin’ down the corridors at any given time, is very, very popular. Everyone participates in this sport now and then. Some students cruise to avoid teachers. Always, each and every day. at least one student will wander from class to class without doing much of anything. But one thing is on that person’s mind: “I’ve got to avoid all teachers!” One great way is to hide and then cover up with clever excuses. A few examples are: a) “I was in the restroom and I didn’t hear the bell ring. By the time I figured out where everyone was. it was too late. Or b) “It's like this, I was rushing past 92 Benito Juarez. Juan Aguilera. P A Herrera, and Javier Olea teach Larry Palato how to girl watch as Claudia Reyes cruises by after lunch. Elsa Cadena poses with pride. Laura LLoyd, Renae Robertson. Stella Manquero. Anna Jones, and Brad Millner catch some rays. Scott Guy and Stacey Moenk practice the art of hand holding. Robert Babb and Betty Herrera get caught in snap- shots. everyone to make sure I was on time, when I suddenly got this terrible cramp in my leg! I tried to go on, but the pain was unbearable,” Or c) ‘‘I thought it would be nice if I could find some flowers to bring to you. I walked all over campus to find some pretty enough, but there just weren’t any. That’s why I’m late.” Pretty whitty, huh? Finally, holding hands (and other romantic activities) seem to be the the ultimate in unofficial spring sports. A lot of people are most enthusiastic about this one. So, even if each student didn’t get a team jersey or a trophy, at one time or another, they have participated in these sports. If YOU didn’t, perhaps next year you could joint the ‘‘I Wish I Were At The Beach Team” by playing frisbee, or the “Someday I Will Be On The Radio Team,” by singing in the hallways. But remember, “Practice makes Perfect.” 93 Varsity Volleyball Sept. 9 AUHS vs. Holtville 12 10 Lake Havasu Tournament 3rd place 14 AUHS vs. Gila Bend 2-0 16 AUHS vs. San Pasqual 2-0 25 AUHS vs. Maricopa 2-0 28 AUHS vs. Ajo 1-2 30 AUHS vs. San Pasqual 2-0 Oct. 1 AUHS vs. Palo Verde 2-1 2 AUHS vs. Bagdad 2-0 7 AUHS vs. Ajo 1-2 12 AUHS vs. Parker 20 16 AUHS vs. Bagdad 2-0 16 AUHS vs. Maricopa 2-1 19 AUHS vs. Gila Bend 2 1 23 B-West Division Tournament 3rd place J.V.

Not only did the already existing clubs surprise us by doing new and different activities, but a couple of new clubs were formed on campus. One of those clubs was the Art Club, formed by art students maintaining a 2.0 grade average. The Art Club learns about various artists and their work, their background, and also services for the school. The club also got together to raise money to purchase a display case for the school’s clubs to use but they didn’t raise quite enough. They are planning to continue this project during the oncoming year. FHA has been getting involved this spring, also. They have sold ice cream, candied apples, tacos, and they took a trip to San Diego. Western Week was sponsored by the Sophomore class. During Western Week many games and activities were played. Participating and getting involved, that’s being a part of a club. 1) Shannon Hibbard poses for punk day. 2) Art Club sells ceramics, 3) Students gather for activi- ties during Western Week, 4) Les Hernandez and Larry Palato participate. Emotions High Banquet At Emotions were on the overload May 2, 1983 at the Thirty-first Annual FFA Banquet. The banquet was basically the same as years before except for a new slide show put on by Paula Miliam, Kathy Henry, and Ciddy Tryon. The slide show was developed through a format that has been used for the past five years. “The banquet was held to recognize both members and guests for the outstanding job during the 1982-83 schoolyear,” remarked Mr. Crabtree. Paula Milam said, “We held the banquet to show friends and supporters our accomplishments.” Awards ranged from Outstanding member, scholarship, senior special awards to second attendant Mr. Crabtree commented, “There is no award that is more important than any other. They are all very special.” Paula Milam remarked, “We don’t set any award or person, for that matter, above the rest.” A final comment from Crabtree was, “Looks like we made it.” That is until next year. Brad Milliner, Dusty Schill, Tim Rush, Racheal Gar- ret, and Kathy Henry line up to receive awards. Emma Young and Ernie Grover pose for the cam- era. Prom Goes To Paradise It was just another day in paradise for students, dates, and faculty that supported the 1983 prom. It was held at the Country Club on April 23, 1983. The theme was Hawaiian Paradise. The decorations consisted of Hawaiian fruit centerpieces. Felipe Torres commented since the centerpieces were fruit people helped themselves to it. Emma Young said, “We were the last to leave so we got more fruit than anybody else, especially avacados.” The walls and ceiling were decorated with orange and yellow crepe paper. Kendall Howeil said, “I think they did a good job on the decorations.” The main course was steak. Emma said, “The banquet was more fun than good. The main course was good, but there was a bunch of stuff that nobody could identify.” In between eating, dancing, and having a good time they found time to announce the 1983 Prom King and Queen. The honor was awarded to Greg Stewart and Tanya Rush. Paul Wright stands at attention. A table full of conversation. King Greg Stewart and Queen Tanya Rush dance. The End Of The Rainbow May was the end of the school year for sports but not for the memories of friendships, wins, and losses that were part of the memories. Track was coached by Mr. Joder and it involved lots of running and usually began from the track field to the end of the A Mountain. Only three boys qualified for state and they were: Johnny Calvin, Ernie Grover, and Rickie Calvin. Tennis coached by Mr. Bechtloff and his assistant, Diane Beecroft, inmany ways was an individual game but was also played as a team sport. It took the whole team to win a match.

While the J.V. boys finished 1-9 led by Mr. Linn and Mr. Crabtree. May 7, became a very special day for man athletes. The Antelope softball team traveled to the Tempe Diablo Stadium and came home with the State Crown for the first time. To prove their record was the State Crown and the 18-1 season. The Rammettes won the state title by beating Bradshaw 6-4 in the championship game after disposing of Florence 17-11 in the semi finals. The girls were led by Mr. Amon, who won Best Coach in the conference and also served as Athletic Director. Mr. Amon said. “You just can’t describe this team. It was the same old stuff but this time we got to the top. What really made everything possible was how the girls mixed together as a team. It takes many long roads to reach the end but no one really understands what it takes to be a champ until you make it.” At the sports banquet some of the Rammettes were selected for conference honors. The players chosen for the first team all conference were: Annie Auza, Cherilyn Wisby, Shelly Ward. Lisa Baker, Alma Barraza, and Sharon Murphy. It might have been the end of the year for some but many athletes it was more like the end of the rainbow. And for some it was a time of celebration and treasured memories.

Library and Auditorium. Fine Arts Night was held to display the talents of the 82-83 students. Passing out programs and serving the guests was a small part of Fine Arts Night. There were over 300 guests that attended Fine Arts Night. The Art Classes worked for weeks to prepare over 175 pieces for the exhibit. Many art students came to the rescue of Ms. Hogan as they served the guests refreshments, passed out programs, or just showed up to help support the show. Mr. Bechtloff used up a lot of the second semester to prepare the band, choir and two very talented students Joe Burleson and Teri Hofer who performed solos. Some Honor Band numbers were highlighted. Teri Hofer said, “The Honor Band is composed of the best musicians who audition in B-West.” Band selections included: “Overture Disones,” “Chariots of Fire,” and “Annie” (Highlights). The choir selections included: “The Wayward Wind,” “Happy Day-Making, Our Dreams come true” and “Everyone Has a Dream.” Nerves were flying high among the performers the night of the show. Lupe Soto was asked how she felt Fine Arts Night she said, “Well in a way I was nervous but really nervous when I was on stage.” Susan McDaniels was involved in all three activities: band, choir, and in the art show. She commented, “I really like band but in choir I feel 1 needed some improvement. In the art show I entered two projects: a collage and a ink drawing.” Through the passing year fine arts was just a small part of many students’ lives but the night of May 10th showed what an important part it was.

Honor Band Is An Honor On April 6-7 the Antelope band traveled to Camp Verde to participate in a mass band concert with nine other B-West Division bands. Band members rehearsed four numbers all day and at 7:30 that evening they put on a concert for the Camp Verde community. Throughout the day several students of the band auditioned for the B-West Honor Band. The audition consisted of a piece selected by the Honor Band committee, sight reading, which is playing a piece of music you have never played before, and scales. Nora Amivisca said, “I was really nervous when I tried out, but the judges put you at ease.” Melody Langford commented, “When you find out you made it, you just feel like crying.” The Honor Band consist of 45 of the top musicians in B-West Division. Antelope was honored by having 10 Ram musicians in honor band. It was not so much that they were selected, but the seat they took in the band.

April 20. 1983, four Arizona Highway Patrol officers, the Yuma County Sheriff and Under Sheriff, three K-9 Patrol Officers and their specially trained dogs, and a photographer, entered Antelope unannounced. They were looking for drugs, especially marijuana. They searched the entire school with the dogs. Juniors and seniors were taking their California Achievement Test when the testing was stopped so the dogs could come through the room and “sniff” wallets, clothes, purses, and the room. Juniors were in the auditorium in the middle of a test. One junior Annie Auza said, I just couldn’t seem to get my concentration back.” Another junior Alberto Reyes said. “Was the administration so unaware that they couldn’t see the detrimental effect it could have on our test scores.” The whole ordeal was covered on KYEL television, channel 13 and KECY channel 9. Several students were interviewed on TV for the news. One student Sara Grande said, “I really didn’t like the whole thing. It was embarrassing.” Some students wanted to know if they could retake the CAT test Mr. Gray, when asked the possibility of readministering the test said, “It would just cost too much money. Students will just have to make up for it next year.” After they finished searching for “drugs”, the K-9 patrol officers gave the school a clean bill of health. Nothing was found.

Graduating from high school was an important step in the lives of the senior class It was a period of growth and making new adjustments. Most seniors said at least once in awhile that they could not wait to graduate and “get out of this place,” and all of them probably meant it But no matter how prepared one thinks he is, the “real world will not be exactly what was expected just as high school wasn’t High school was full of good times as well as bad Some seniors tried to enjoy every day of the school year while others felt lucky to just get through them Scott Murphy said he felt relieved to be graduating because “it was a boring year Antelope was becoming a hassle His statement might be a symptom of senioritis. Senioritis is a disease seniors are known to be susceptable to. For most seniors, the symptoms are noticeable in early April around spring break, but for some they appear as early as Christmas vacation The major symptoms include griping about school and a spaciness in which the victim can be seen walking around in a daze dreaming about his future or the senior class trip On May 27 at 8:00 a m., 27 seniors and their advisors. Ms. Hogan. Mr Joder, and Mr. Crabtree, boarded a bus and headed for a weekend of fun and excitement in sunny California. The first stop was the Peter Pan Hotel where the anxious seniors relaxed and got ready for the exciting Grad Nite Party at Disneyland Besides the usual rides and attractions, seniors enjoyed an addition to Disneyland, the new Fantasyland. The attraction is reminiscent of a 400-year old European village. Some of the other attractions still remained favorites though Between rides, seiors were able to see some top name musical acts performing live. These included the rock group, the Greg Kihn Band, the Dazz Band which performed rhythm and blues, Berlin, a new wave group, and singer Cheryl Lynn. When the Grad Nite Party ended at 5:00 a.m. Saturday morning, the groggy seniors and advisors ate a hearty breakfast and headed for Universal Studios where they took a five-hour tour. After the tour, the group ate dinner in San Diego and started their journey home. After sleeping in late Saturday morning, seniors prepared for the 8:00 baccalaureate. The graduation ceremony was held on May 30 at 8:00 p.m. It began with Lauri Roberts giving the invocation Speeches were then given by Mark Curry and Mary Gutierrez. Teachers were evaluated by Tracey Ellifritz, Rachel Garrett, and Tanya Rush. The guest speaker, Robert Bob” McClendon, gave words of wisdom to the graduates. Then Mrs. Carole Rush, board member, presented the diplomas. The ceremony concluded with Darin Meeks giving the benediction. After the ceremony, 47 proud graduates received congratulations and hugs and prepared to celebrate their achievement. Bob McClendon addresses the graduation class of 1983 Tanya Rush.
