Evidence of the bicentennial could be seen more and more os the year progressed Fire hydrants, garbage cans, billboards, and bumper stickers graced the land in red, white, and blue. Even though the bicentennial seemed to last well over a year, we grew to realize the American Woy was The Way. It had taken an ultimate test — the test of time. And it had proved over the 200 yeors it could stand against the destruction of wars, political turmoil, and could rise above these with pride. History wos made in 1976 and turning the following pages, we'll remember the year, the people, and the events that made history at AHS Arlington 100 years of. . . one of the fastest growing cities in the country. The small com- munity of Arlington began as a result of the railroad in 1876 but was destined to grow. In 1930, the population had grown to 5,000 (not counting cows ond chickens!) And from 1960-1970, the number of inhabitants had doubled. Now, in 1976, and with a population of over 125,000, Arlington has gained recog- nition for its unique industry, recreational attractions, afd cultural activities. The first high sdf£«l was ' built in 1902 and behind where WyjMKafeteria is today. Life at school was a little different then. Rules were more strict for students; teachers had some tough regu- lations, too. No teacher could be married, female teachers could not dress in bright colors or use lipstick, and they had to wear at least two petticoats! Rude or vulgar language was forbidden for both students and teachers. Classes were much smaller, too. In 1928, there were 39 seniors to graduate. Like dress lengths, prices weren’t so high back then either. For 50 cents, a student could buy a season ticket to see five foot- ball games and for 9 cents, a person could see a picture show. AHS, as we know it now, opened in 1956. Arlington is a city to be proud of and celebrating its first 100 years made us a little more proud. AHS in 1928 on Cooper Street. 8 Arlington high 50 years of . . . tradition-setting through the many talents, efforts, and dreams of the thousands who have walked the halls of AHS. The numbers of students have created diversity. But out of this, we found something called — UNITY. We found it at pep rallies when we sang the Alma Mater. We found it in rehearsals for drama pro- ductions. We even found it in the everyday familiar classroom taking an everyday, but maybe not so familiar, test. .A We found unity in things wo did together because they made each of us feel like we belonged — we weren’t just another face in the crowd. Romombor the second hall and getting smushed? We couldn't help but find unity there, right? And what about the unity we felt in competition. Whether on the grueling football field, basketball court, or track, we always strived to be the It 1 team; sometimes winning and sometimes losing, but always united. 10 n Mrs. Crouch is someone you con count on to count on you. She could be called the window to I the world because she urges us to open our eyes to the possibilities of life. She has an overwhelming desire to share and give herself to her work and overcome the many misunderstandings that happen every day. Cindy Green Mrs. Crouch is not only a great typing teacher, but also a teacher of determination, effort and patience. Debbie Brown When one tries to describe Mrs. Crouch with words, one faces the problem of not knowing where to start. Her teaching does not stop at 3:30 when the last bell sounds. Each student is indivi- dually important to her as she strives to teach not only typing, but also self discipline and logic. Through encouragement, praise, and helpful guidance, Mrs. Crouch usually succeeds in helping each student discover his own spirit of self motivation. Andy Wolfskill Marie Crouch is a truly dedicated teacher. She is interested in the total development of her students — attempting to prepare them for successful careers and happy, useful lives. Mrs. Mildred Shupee Mrs. Marie Crouch is a I professional, conscientious, I dedicated, and enthusiastic I teacher interested in the future welfare of her students.

Some teach math and science, others are skilled in art and English. Their chores are innumerable from grading papers to singing in the Christmas Choir. We see their faces every day. In fact, we spend about 1,190 hours with one teacher during the course of a year. So it's certain that each has some influence on our lives. This yearbook staff chose to dedicate this edition of the Colt Corral to Mrs. Marie Crouch, who has influenced many students over the 22 years she has been of AHS.

Arlington High was alive with music and dancing, with prayers and humor, with matches, with goodbyes, with tradition . . . with Fiddler on the Roof. Presented by the choral department, Fiddler in- volved untold hours of prepara- tion by music and drama students and anyone else seen in a blue T-shirt. And their efforts were well-received; the show's professionalism impressed the audiences at three performances. The character portrayals were polished, the singing was excellent, and the dramatic scenes were unforgettable (who would ever forget that screeching ghost in the dry ice dream scene.) Because all involved dedicated both their talent and their time (oh, those midnight rehearsals with quarter tests the next day), when the cast and crew alike joined hands for the final curtain call, those fortunate enough to have seen much more than just a play could respond, Another tradition lives on. “Tevye. ore you listening to me?” Dinah Dalton demands of Jeff Peters who prays for potiencc. 36 ACTIVITIES FIDDLER ON THE ROOF TEVYE..............................................................Jeff Peters GOLDE............................................................Dinah Dalton TZEITEL...........................................................Regan Lyle MOTEL.............................................................Ken Lasater HODEL .............................................................Cathy Bush PERCHIK............................................................Tom Ferris CHAVA.......................................................Valerie Vandergriff FYEDKA...........................................................Andy Bridges YENTE ................................................................Jill Poss Producer-Director: Mr. Dan Rash Orchestra: Miss Barbara Ecabert Mr. Mike Walker Technical Advisor: Mrs. Vicki Tapp (A) A lender porting saddens Cathy 8ush and Jeff Peters.

Special guests included the founder of the award, Mr. Robert Fielder of Van Alstyne, former Superintendent Ross Wimbish, Supf. James Martin, and former Principal John Webb.

This was the challenge given to the Class of '76 at Vespers. The worship service, held the Sunday evening before Commencement, was a time of unity for a group whose lives had revolved around each other since first grade. Diverse backgrounds and lifestyles were hidden under cops and gowns, visualizing the oneness felt by each graduare. Holly, Jill, Bryan, Mr. Durham, and Mrs. Wallace, each in his own personal way, led the class to understanding and to realize that hope and faith are essential. Mr. Wilmoth was given the chonce to challenge these kids who have challenged me for three years, and Andy responded for the graduates. A highly effective vignette was presented by Regan and Victor, who gave their classmates glimpses of the years spent together. Reflecting on the apple wars of the post and common goals and fears of the future, the Spirit of 1976 was complete — a final gathering as a whole, as an ending before they met together once more — for a beginning.

Worth made the job easier although that job was forgotten during picnics, birthday parties, and pixie hunts. These funtimes, which have become traditions with the staffs each year, were improved by the 1976 Colt Corral staff. Pizza-eating was added as a competition category, and journalism swept unofficial intramurals. Mike Shapiro added to the staffs’ banquet, but it was during the Easter break that, with a field-trip to D.C., the bicentennial staff proved they do things bigger and better.

AHS rebounded strongly against Duncanville the next week, however, winning 14-0. The Colt defense once again performed superbly, shutting out the explosive Panther offense. District Turns as Colts Upset Cards Probably the most heart- breaking game all season for Arlington was against Nimitz. Leading 14-7 midway through the fourth quarter, the Colts gambled on a fourth and one play near midfield, coming up just short. Nimitz struck for a quick touchdown, which was oided by a questionable pass interference call. Nimitz failed on a two-point conversion attempt, however, and Arlington appeared to be safe. However, Kelly Hyde fumbled the ball near midfield with time running out, and Nimitz got close enough to the AH$ goal line to kick a game win- ning field goal with just two seconds to ploy. The Colts rebounded to hand Irving MacArfhur their first loss in two years and turn the season around with a 9-0 victory. Gary Burg- land added the only points Arlington needed with a 32- yard field goal with just a minute to ploy in the game. Following Burgland's kick, linebacker Lawton Carlton stepped in front of a Mac- Arthur pass and returned 31 yards for the score.

Baseballers Begin With High Hopes for District Crown Arlington High's baseball team opened the season with high hopes for a district crown. AHS had several good reasons for their optimism. The Colts were coming off a strong season the year before in which they lost two close games to future state champ Duncanville. Those were the only district games AHS lost last year with the exception of a one-run decision to Highland Park. The Colts, had four return- ing starters for the 1976 season. They included pitcher Keith Walker, shortstop Danny Smith, catcher Gerald Brown, and second baseman Gary Burgland. These players were aided by players up off a winning B-Team. The dugout contemplate the Colt sifuotion. 194 SPORTS Jock Holmes took the mound for Arlington's first district contest against first year competitor Bowie. Holmes struck out 18 batters as Arlington outscored the Vols 8-0. Keith Wolker picked up the win on a windy day against Lamar by a 9-1 count. Next the high riding Colts took Highland Park 3-2 to set up a big showdown against also undefeated MacArthur. Walker pitched a brilliant game as the Colts ran their record to 4-0 with a close win. However, just as it seemed that Arlington could not be stopped. Grand Prairie of all people turned the tables on AHS 6-1. This was to be the start of the Colts' downfall as they dropped consecutive one- run decisions to Irving and Irving Nimitz. This left Arlington out of first place by two full games.

Sam Houston pulled tricks on AHS one more time and proceded to knock the Colts out of the district race. With two outs in the last inning, Texan Les White scored from second base on a steal and a passed ball for a 1 -0 victory. Steve Brannon was the loser. The Colts set out to get revenge the very next night against Sam, and touched the Texans for a pair of first inning runs. Walker made the lead stand up for a 2-0 shutout win, which knocked Sam out of the running for the title.

Ci 197 JV Posts 8-1 Record for ’76 Season Arlington High's Colt Junior Varsity baseball squad concluded a highly successful season with an 8-1 district record, the best in 7-AAAA ranks. Coached by Judson Pritchard, the Ponies began the season with a loss to Arlington Heights and a win over Eastern Hills. They then managed a doubleheader split with Fort Worth Southwest. March proved to be a very wet month for the Metroplex and consequently played havoc with the baseball team. Rematches with both Heights and Hills were rained out, as was the conclusion of the Lamar Tournament, in which Arlington lost to Haltom and Lamar, and beat Bowie. Arlington’s only loss in district play was to the Sam Houston Texans. The Colts, however, beat Sam in two previous games. B-Team members included pitchers Steve Elder, Mike Laman, Kirk Lewis, and Mark Wade. John Wade, and Kevin Moses handled the catching. Infielders included Bruce Bowen, Darrell Agee, Jerry Bar- croft, Curt Culbertson, Pete Bruton, Carlos Battle, Mark Wade, Allen Roberts, and Joe Dunn.

The AHS team was coached by Randy Porter, who was new to the sport. Both of Arlington's losses came at the hands of Lamar, the district champions. The first year program was characterized by lack of support. The games drew small crowds and were not publicized very well. Arlington played their first game against Monsfield High School and trounced them 16-0. All city schools fielded a team in the first year of organized soccer competition.

Cheerleader Quantity Boosts 1 975-76 Colt Spirit Quality With the addition of several new girls sports and varsity soccer, a need arose for more cheerleaders.

Serving as cheerleaders were Regan Lyle, Sherry Higgin- botham, Kathy Elder, Karen Near, Lynn Jeffery, Kim Menge, Janelle Burnette, Isy Priddy, Susan Bloom, and Kay Kelly. Six sophomores made up the junior varsity squad that kept the action going in the stands at all B-Team games. Stacey Burris, Kelley Davis, Nancy Malone, Debbie Brown, Tracie Arnold, and Sherry Johnson led these chores. Leading the life of an AHS cheerleader kept the girls busy with a multitude of jobs including planning pep rallies, painting posters, and selling ribbons. AHS cheerleaders could be found on the sidelines of foot- ball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, and track events for both boys and girls teams.

Bookkeeping I and II, recordkeeping and clerical practice came in handy. Salesmanship courses were also offered at AHS. Students learned the art and technique of mastering the field of business and the occupation of a salesman. (A) Mr . Mane Crouch discusses ''Mogic Margin'' setting as Jomes Cnbbs looks on.

Besides the bicentennial, other happenings surfaced on the national scene. It was a big year for politics. Jimmy Carter was seen parading through the country equipped with a big smile and a hearty handshake hoping to capture the Democratic Presidential nomination, and retired actor- rising politician Ronald Reagan was causing quite a stir among Republicans. But votes weren’t the only thing being captured around the nation. Kidnapped heiress Patricia Hearst was found as police made a raid on the California hide-out of the Symbionese Liberation Army. In fashions, skirt lengths came down and bathing suits got skimpier than ever. Country music singers strummed their way into many a heart across America, especially with the song, Convoy that was popular with the increasing number of “good buddies.” Mrs. Gerald Ford even got into the CB act with the handle, First Mama. Another big headline was the death of billionaire Howard Hughes and the confusion over his authentic will or wills. America '76 will soon be only a memory. As much as we regret seeing it fade away, the future looks promising for America, for the American Way, for the Best Way. Arlington Will it ever stop growing? Sandwiched in between two big city slices of Dallas and Fort Worth, rumors again emerged of a consolidation to make a great metropolis. Although opposition remains strong, rapid expansion is evident everywhere. Proof could be seen by all the new businesses that opened. Just on Cooper St., three new restaurants opened, adding to the competition already there. A new hospital was being built and UTA was expanding, too. Arlington High One again we exchanged nine months of our lives for knowledge, experiences, and relationships. “Poor Sophs survived their rookie year of Howdy Day and frog dissections. Juniors managed to get through the in-between stage of high school. (Senior rings helped a little.) And Seniors watched their last year fly by via graduation announcements, the Prom and the final walk to receive their diploma. With Activities, Honors, Clubs, we all grew to be a little older and a little wiser. The AHS tradition we had known the year before still survived. Howdy Day, Spirit Week, the Christmas program, Colt County Fair, Twirp Week — we were proud of the tradition. We fought for it, hoping the class behind us would do the same. It was the one thing we alone claimed to be our very own. It set us apart and gave us a face in the crowd. inmuTiMm Now, only tho memories lingor Though timo will surely fodo thorn. A class ring, a prossod flower, an athlotic letter, a program, a yearbook. They are our keepsakes — tho reminders of the year we knew in 76. A year that made history. A year we were all a part of.
