Bearden s room states that nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. This say- ing is appropriate for Room 136 be- cause Mrs. Bearden herself proves Emerson s words. Through her own en- thusiasm for teaching. Mrs. Bearden has achieved something great, the ad- miration of her students. We appreciate Mrs. Bearden because she is involved with our activities. A Na- tional Honor Society sponsor. Mrs. Bearden attends drama productions and volleyball games. She helps us with other AHS activities ranging from paper drives to math contests. We appreciate Mrs. Bearden because she shows us so much consideration. Pleasant and patient when we come to her for help, she always has time to ex- plain a homework problem. Mrs. Bear- den does not simply cover the textbook material: she is dedicated to teaching, seeing that we learn and understand, preparing us for college. And if referring to an ellipsoid as an equilateral egg helps to transform a dull math course into an entertaining les- son. Mrs. Bearden will continue to use the famous phrase. For when students can laugh and learn, beginning to realize that schoolwork can be enjoy- able. this is the enthusiasm Mrs. Bear- den shares with her classes. Those of us who have spent this year building rainbows wish to dedicate our efforts, this 1977 Colt Corral, to Mrs. E. G. Bearden. (A) As one of the few perpetrators of the Lit- tle Moving Car Theorem. Mrs. E.G. Bearden smiles to see that her Analyt class under- stands the concept (B) Early-morning vis- itors can find Mrs. 8earden at work in the Math Lab. always cheerful and willing to ex- plain a homework problem.

A rainbow will be remembered brightly. Rainbows and our special memories Recalling them returns us to a timeless moment of colors silently vibrant. 5 But a rainbow stretches magically from the past to the future. Its beauty today is not just beauty for remembering. As the sign of God’s promise for the future, the rainbow is even more special, a divine message of hope. And hope for tomorrow lies in keeping the special times we've had. The colorful arc of misty magic memories Sunlight, beaming through a raindrop, is separated into many colors. These colors scatter; and each raindrop sends a single colored beam of light to help form the rainbow. Each raindrop sends a unique color since each raindrop has a different angle. It takes many raindrops, each sending colored light at certain angles, to form the complete rainbow. A rainbow can happen only when raindrops and sunshine are both in the sky at the same time. We shared the moments that dampened our spirit, and we shared the times when our spirit was radiant. Both kinds of experiences, together like the rain and sun, created a spectrum just as wondrous and just as beautiful as any prism curve across the sky. This spectrum is the year we spent together. A year with ups and downs, with highs and lows. A year of bright skies and crying gray skies. Sometimes we were sad at school, but like stormy skies beginning to clear, remembering the good times brought a beam of hope to shine through the tears. And we saw the total spectrum of our lives together at Arlington High School. 10 42' fit? 11 12 We are the wonder of a rainbow We are beauty to remember We are the promise for the future We are thjbbrightest skies ♦ and at the same time We are the dark gray skies And we are all a part of our school's Rainbow of People taf' V y ■ 15 AHSers Discover Something New in Each Season Seventy-nine days. Only 1896 hours to celebrate summer. Students wished for time: time to rest, relax, to sleep, and talk with friends. Time to work and party and gallavant after The Eternal Quest for The Original Coppertone Tan. But school and August 27 loomed ominously. Soon seniors-to-be primped painstakingly at Park Plaza Studios, as graduation caps squished carefully coiffed curls for senior pictures. Registration inducted students (wil- ling or un) into good ole Arlington High hyperactivities. Football games and ‘op- tional’ pep rallies officiated the start of autumn, as AHSers readied for a November Homecoming with floats and flowers. Concerts and a Country Jam- 16 ACTIVITIES boree busied band and choir members, while Thespians produced ‘Our Town with a scant month s preparation. Thanksgiving and Christmas arrived, giving a much-needed vacation to AHS. Students, however, found it hard to in- terspace school between banquets and Santa Claus. The New Year of 1977 brought total chaos as students were bombarded with numerous activities. The traditional Colt County Fair helped to raise money for classes and various clubs. Old Man Winter greeted AHSers with not-so-familiar snow and extreme cold. However, the Colt basketball team remained hot while notching up victory after victory. Spring appeared and tearful seniors said their good-byes to Arlington High and all its memories. (A) Gary Garrison helps Kayla Hayes adjust her graduation cap before the ceremonies. (8) Guarded by a Haltom defender. Cole Var- deman drives toward the Colt basket. (C) Dan Berryhill and Karen Long remember the funny times of '76.

(F) Cathy Harrison works, as do other students, at Six Flags. (G) Lori Scarborough and Don Richards re- minisce at the scribble party. ACTIVITIES 17 Howdy Day, Fall Events Induct Sophs to AHS 556 bottoms squirmed nervously in the seats. 556 mouths chewed 2780 fin- gers. and 1112 eyes glared feebly at the assembly speaker. ' Sophomore.'' Stan Leu solemnly intoned. Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.' DDDDiing! Second period ended and Howdy Day had officially begun. Gleeful upperclassmen pounced on the cring- ing peons with immoderate pleasure. Later however, the aggressors graci- ously relented and welcomed hoarse sophomores to the Howdy Day Dance. Now smile pretty . . Come on. you can do it. Remember-you're missing English. That's great! Beautiful!'' Photographers sometimes had to resort to subterfuge to turn gloomy juniors into budding Mona Lisas. Five ardent rah-rahers stood up and hollered their way to sophomore cheerleading positions. Sophomore elections chose Jay Hardy as president. Susie Einhaus as vice-president, and Lisa Stevens in the office of secretary-treasurer. Elected for social chairmen were Jeff Lambert and Shelli Stewart. (A) Kirk Pearson leads Brad Pierce. Kevin Moses. Cathy Bush. Dinah Dalton, and Shari Webber in the sophomore chorus. (B) Lori Peters makes a bid for a JV cheerleader spot. (C) Little Arlie makes new sophomores aware of the ever prevalent spirit at Arlington High. (D) Robert Kerbow jives to music at the Howdy Dance.

ACTIVITIES 19 Wilder’s Play, Spirit Activities Set Early Pace “Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every-every mi- nute? Saints and poets maybe — they do some. Saints and poets and Thespians learned how to pack a million actions into sixty seconds as they produced Thornton Wilder's Our Town after only four weeks ot preparation. With a cast of thirty, work was hard and the crew would have been depre- ssed if not for the selfless devotion shown by one of the bit characters. Howie Newsome's horse. Bessie, en- tirely imaginary but there in spirit, chal- lenged the actors to new heights of in- spirational fervor. Creating a turn-of-the-century New Hampshire town, the play revealed the 20 ACTIVITIES life bf Grover's Corner-er's in our growin' up. and in our marryin'. and in our livin', and in our dyin. Painting up a storm with a rainbow of colors, poster parties created the most loyal faction of AHS. Wednesday nights found green-speckled artists laboring under strain and sponsors. Paper and people were decorated lavishly, while sidewalks were tempera-ed with loving care. All for the love of football. Tonka toys gone awry screeched into the streets of Arlington as AHS' Car Caravan drove to the Bowie game. Three blocks of green - and - white cars competed for the judges' approval. First prize went to Danny Smith, whose Arlie-topped car blared the fight song straight from the horse's mouth. as the cars wound their way to the game. (A) Mr. Webb. Tom Ferris, answers question concerning life at Grover s Corner. (B) Por- traying Mrs. Gibbs. Dinah Dalton listens doubtfully as Mrs. Webb. Ellen Gorihey. praises her children.

Dots on the paper. Dots on the ceiling. Dots on the brain .. . Sophomore and juniors, only armed with the eternal 2 pencil. fought the good fight of the circle-filled ICED tests (brought to them by the friendly folks from Iowa.) Their captivity was not helped by the raucous laughter of the seniors inattentively enjoying a film, A Lion in Winter. Ahh .. . Richard Burton. AHS put on a show of its own at the 22 ACTIVITIES Texas State Fair. The choir, band, and Arlettes. entering high school competi- tion. entertained fair visitors on and off the stage. Many seniors, voting for the first time in the '76 Presidential election, put their two peanuts in. and helped elect Jimmy Carter. The yearbook paper drive helped build strong bodies twelve wavs bv mak- ing sturdy staffers lug heavy papers and magazines o'er halls and staircases. Though one hundred pounds of paper were bought for but a dollar, male members were comforted by the dream of finding a Playboy in the news stacks. (A) Pam Martin and Monica Mason try to stay awake for the early-morning PSAT. (8) Susan Franks is shocked by the immature actions of Pam Mosby and Cathy Spivey. (C) Donna Smith orders senior announcements from Bryan Matthews. (D) Coach Bradham gives her winning volleyball team a few pointers. (E) Bonnie 8ledsoe. Whitney Schmidt. Georgann Johnston.

Andy Bridges, and Terri Griggs load papers. ACTIVITIES 23 Country Jamboree, Fifties Day Delight AHSers Corn County USA. an aptly named habitat known for its ham. corn, and bad jokes, made its Second Annual Bicentennial Real Live Grande Ole Opry Style Wingding for the edification and enioyment of its Arlington High chums. The joint choir and band presentation started off with decorous tuxes and other high-fallutin' duds, but soon re- laxed into traditional denim grandeur. Nashville celebrity Minnie Pearl (alias Dinah Dalton) graced the festivities as the official M.C.. while a professional bluegrasser regaled the audience with his fiddle. A special beauty pageant brought a few tense moments to the show. Four delicately padded young lads vied for 24 ACTIVITIES r (A) Tim Deahl. Richard Longgrear. Paul Skinner, and Alan Weaver vie for the coveted title of beauty queen. (B) Cathy Bush's imita- tion of Donna Fargo brightens the faces of the AHS audience. (C) Garbed in bobby socks and a ponytail.

Kim Winters, and Kendra Fallman contemplate the way it was in the carefree days of yesterday. the coveted title of Miss Com County. As the blushing winner. Miss Pantego. (otherwise known as Alan Weaver) modestly accepted his crown, runner- ups Howard Skinner. Richard Longgrear. and Tim Deahl sweetly ac- quiesced and kicked his teeth in. The show successfully spoofed Hee Haw and Bert Parks, and even got a dig in at their martyred choir director Most people think those curls are so natural, but we hear he sleeps with rol- lers in his hair! ' Launching into Fifties Day. AHS rav- aged maternal closets for saddle shoes and ransacked pawn shops for the finer chains and knives. Just to get into the spirit of things, of course. Handy White was judged as the best dressed dude. ACTIVITIES 25 76 Homecoming Brings New Tradition to AHS A cold wind blew across the football fans, rustling mums, fancy duds, and hair that had been Oh-So-Carefully styled a few hours before. Glitter that had once been glued to flowers now spangled naughtily on dresses and sweaters. Couples cuddled together sil- ently thanking the cold for an excuse to warm each other up. Arlington High shivered with cold and the excitement of Homecoming. Halftime presentations with the long-awaited awards for spirit and monarchy, were trumpeted in by a famil- iar green and white band. Float compet- ition. traditionally won by sophomores, was awarded to the Senior Class by vir- tue of their diligence, devotion, and 26 ACTIVITIES lumerous hammered thumbs. Presiding over the celebration in ceptered glory were the new King and Dueen. The crowned he-man, David 'Jichols. was chosen from among Nick Fox, Kelly Hyde, and David Pitstick. Kim Menge was elected the 1976 Homecom- ing Queen. The three runners-up in- cluded Nancy Engle. Amy McGlasson, and Kay Kelley. Freezing Thespians sold balloons to generous boys, and asked everyone to let them go at the first touchdown. Unfortunately, the opportunity never came. Colts suffered a heartbreaking loss to Haltom. 7-3. (A) Bill Block watches as Bruce Davidson as- sembles the sophomore float. (B) I had a dream utters Mr. Larry Smedley in his im- personation of Principal Crouch. (C) Alan Hawrylak and Melanie Halpin enjoy the post-game dance.

(H) Members of the Class of ‘77 ex- press their enthusiasm for the magnificent Mean Green. ACTIVITIES 27 ruilM Room 219 smelled of Latex and car- nations. while a tempting spaghetti-ish odor wafted from the cafeteria. Marksa- lotted scripts were carefully positioned for ready accessibility and studied every three minutes with a fervor easily attri- buted to the impending performance. Beards and blow dryers were conscien- ciously applied as the actors muttered vaguely to themselves. Suppose I forget my lines? What if I miss my knichi? Think the flat will fall over?” The AHS drama department girded its hair oil and carried off a spectacular performance of Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park. Starring in the show were Jennifer Maddox as Corey Bratter and David Hudson as her husband Paul. Filling the role of Corey's mother was Dinah Dal- ton. with Phil Nelson playing the part of Victor Velasco. The cast was completed by Jim Pool as the electrician and George Watson as the delivery man. Though the cast was made up of only six people, the play required a united effort on the part of the whole depart- ment. The set required a complete overhaul, meaning for weeks the cast played out tender romances and juicy ‘Barefoot In the Park’ Astounds AHS Audience arguments as the crew scurried in the background, painting and hammering and trying to look invisible. Cooperation also arrived from AHS Homemaking Department, who whipped up an Italian meal for the gastronomic delight of the audience. The Journalism Department got into the act , also, by producing the show's printed program. The final show was celebrated with a much-needed party, as cast and crew relaxed with Fritos and Bob Dylan. (A) Melinda Foster and Nancy Urban prepare for the dinner theatre. (B) Brenda Franklin and Mary St. Clair cook spaghetti. (C) Phil Nelson considers popping another knichi. (D) Jennifer Mattox listens as David Hudson learns of his first case in court. (E) Dinah Dal- ton unwraps wedding gifts. (F) Jennifer wel- comes Jim Pool. ACTIVITIES 29 Marching out in formal dignity, they faced the giggling audience and lifted black notebooks with a trace of a smile. The male coaches, trying to look incon- spicuous on the back row. shuffled their feet and raised agonized eyes heaven- ward. Choir director Cleo Keith, waiting for everyone’s eye contact, cleared her throat and tapped her baton. Thus prompted, the Faculty Choir sang, mak- ing their annual debut at the Christmas Choir program. The teachers were soon joined by choir students and AHS exes, and the stage overflowed with carefree carolers. Skits, dancing, and a barber shop quar- tet followed, with a serene Dinah Dalton singing ‘0 Holy Night.” Christmas brought ski slopes and Colorado vacations to many AHSers. While skiing connoisseurs deplored the shortage of snow, easy-to-please Tex- ans whizzed contentedly by in their startling discovery of cold weather. AHS Basketball triumphed over other teams in its winningest season ever. There’s no place like home.” sighed' 30 ACTIVITIES New Year Brings Flurry of Excitement to AHS exhausted drama students as the de- partment presented its annual Children's Show. The Wizard of Oz.

Come to the Cabaret!” AHS decided that life is a Colt Country Fair as the traditional festival got un- derway on January 15. Students ar- ranged booths and performances in the hopeful quest for money and fun. Senior Salooners suffered from strict Prohibition, but enjoyed live entertain- ment. beautiful women, and iced drinks (actually Dr. Pepper). Exposing a little bit of petticoat, dancing girls swish- boom-kicked a can-can to the tune of Cabaret. Kim Perry twirled a sharp- edged routine, and the Marx brothers leered lecherously. Bobby sockers crooned When I Saw the Colts Standing There” to an old Beatles song, while David Hudson and Jeff Kelsch shocked the audience with a jramatic interpretation. Light and ound operation was provided by Lisa Vlorris. Steve Morris, and Lynn Fuston. Colt County Fair displayed a tempting array of edibles. The German Club, true o tradition, sold pertzels and frank- urters. thus causing dutiful Deutsch itudents to repeat Essen? Essen? at my hapless passerby. Tacos were sold by (who else?) but the Spanish Club, and French students baked a batch of pretty pastries. Juniors incarcerated many a victim (willing or un) in the Junior Jail delight- ing in the new sense of power over help- less seniors. Loaded down with prizes and memories, visitors left the Fair full, happy, and a little broke. (A) Senora Holland and Jim Ayres prepare tacos to sell to fair-goer Lea Davis and friend. (8) Cathy Spivy taps out a tune in the Senior Saloon. (C) Gregg Heinzman proves that gentlemen really do prefer Hanes as Ken Knezek and Casey Frye attend to affairs at the Casino. (D) Marty Jerome.

(F) John Goldsmith takes tickets at the Fair. (G) Senior girls per- form in the Saloon show. ACTIVITIES 33 Talented AHS Students Earn Public Recognition February rolled around with its fat. pink Cupid twanging deadly arrows and tripping merrily into St. Valentine's Day. The Cupids, however, came neatly dis- guised as blue-jeaned muscledy (well, almost) AHSers shooting paper airplanes and distributing carnations with commendable gusto. Aiding hope- ful Don Juans as well as the Senioi class treasury, messages and flowers y the Student Council, high school newspaper create The Coalition, a alistic effort. Staffers, ides with apparent ease. 34 ACTIVITIES had less trouble in the actual writing than in naming the publication. Their time was amply rewarded by a televised spot on Young 4 Country. Coach Mike O’Brien awarded out- standing players at the AHS football banquet. The honorees included John A ade, Allen Roberts. David York. Don- lie Kearns. Newell Wallace. Grover ibbs. and Jeff Broyles. AHS bounded into basketball in its best season ever. The girls traveled to Austin to compete in the State tourna- ment. but were dishearteningly beaten by Schertz-Clemens by a mere 10 points. The boys beat their own record, de- feating all district opponents by 30 points. The winning streak was broken in a bi-district playoff against Dunbar. (A) Felicia Tanco displays her Valentine spirit. (B) Coach Stricklin offers words of en- couragement to her state-bound basketball team. (C) Chad Goetz wheels in stacks of the Big Paper.

ACTIVITIES 35 Super Assembly Climaxes American Heritage Day March brought all the secret mas- auerade devotees out of their respec- tive closets—-and into the Western Day assembly where they belonged! The bleachers were speckled with flappers, Pilgrims, and the usual profusion of cowboys (although more careful scrutiny revealed the cleverly disguised identities of fellow AHSers). Winners in the assembly's costume contest in- cluded Jill McGuire and Brian Temple- ton. Cheering fans were treated to great and gastronomic feats of indigestable excess, as ambitious competitors gulped down tamales and peppers at a speed Rusty Forehand could envy. Steve Gilbreath chugged a bottle of 36 ACTIVITIES root beer in a bare nineteen seconds, seeming suspiciously practiced at the art of guzzling beverages. Managing to get more food on his body than inside it. Barry Kennemer ate sixteen hot tamales, beating runner-ups Newell Wallace and Paul Skinner. Thankfully forgetting their Gillette Tract U s. hairy males lovingly cultivated downy chins for the beard-growing competition. Senior Russell Miller won with his blonde bristles. Attacking a plateful of steaming jalapenos. Hot Stuff Doug Engel con- sumed eight peppers in almost as many seconds. Belching modestly. Doug ac- cepted a quart of Coke for his record- breaking stomach-sizzling activities (Though a gallon of Pepto-Bismol might have been more practical.)

ACTIVITIES 37 Twirps Invade Campus, AFS Raises Money The woman is requested to pay' ex- ploded at AHS in late March. The big switch' found anxious males fidgeting impatiently by the phone, waiting for a faltering female voice to pop the ques- tion (i.e. How do you like Mac- Donalds? ) A twirp dance was spon- sored to spur hesitant girls to new- found forwardness. Juniors certainly know what the score was (13-6) in their victorious powder- puff football games against both seniors and sophomores. Boys were amazed at the athletic prowess of mere girls handling a real pigskin and (won- der of wonders) actually being good at it! AFS. shooting for a high-dollar mark of a thousand dollars, campaigned mightily during AFS week to help send 38 ACTIVITIES Arlington High students abroad. Nickels and dimes bought links of construction paper stringing across ceilings and chalkboards in an all-out contest for raising money. The winning class. Mrs. Pat McCormick's room, was treated to a luxurious tet-a-tete at York Steak House, while AFS members basked in the knowledge that thirteen hundred dollars had been raised. The AFS assembly brought a wel- come relief to haggard third-perioders. as the entire school gathered to listen to foreign exchange students living in the community, including AHS' Australia- born Nicci Dobbin. Behavior was. of course, impeccable, as students chat- ted amiably during lectures concerning the customs and lifestyles of faraway lands. (A) Kiki French and Lisa Stevens attempt to pass the orange. (B) Kelly Davis. Nancy Eichhorn. Jane Adams. Cindy Cannon. Nancy Engle. Isy Priddy. and Janet Crocker are caught in their childish act. (C) AHS' ex- change student Nicci Dobbin.

(D) Lourdes Hudson and Julie Bomberger stuff their mouths. (E) Nicci ad- dresses the student body. (F) Kim Brix and Brian Pierce count friendship links. ACTIVITIES 39 VIPS Inspect AHS; Reception Honors Retirees Why were all the broken windows re- placed and cracked tiles repaired? Ob- viously. there was some reason. That reason was the Texas Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (whew!). They invaded good ol Colt Country to inspect education and teaching facilities. All departments at AHS were checked by the commis- sion. Even counselors, teachers, and administrators were observed. All this hoopla' occurred so that AHS might be rightfully proclaimed an accredited high school, that is. a school proving evidence of offering a quality education whle preparing stu- dents for later life, whether it be college or a job. 40 ACTIVITIES With the results finally tabulated. Ar- lington High came out on top. It was. in fact, the only school in District 11 to secure the superior ranking of Very Satisfactory. Amidst commotion over the evaluators, the faculty took time to honor two retiring teachers. Mrs. Mildred Shupee and Mrs. Cloyd Sher- rod. The honorees welcomed their friends and families at a reception held in the student lounge. After going through the receiving line, guests were served punch and cake. The retiring teachers and their husbands greeted many people, including some former members of the AHS faculty. Among those attending the Sunday afternoon affair was Mrs. Betty Dalton, who is both a former student and a former teacher. (A) Mrs. Jean Butler checks over some sug- gestions submitted by the evaluators. (B) Mr James Crouch welcomes Ms. Almena John- som. (C) Mr. Crouch. Mrs. Cloye Sherrod.

(G) Mrs. Sherrod awaits the arrival of guests. ACTIVITIES 41 Students Elect Leaders From All-Female Ballot A surplus of poster paint seemed evi- dent at AHS in the much-heralded Stu- dent Council elections. Campaign signs plastered the halls, shouting Vote for Dawn. Shari. Lynda. Laura. Karla. Janet. or Tammy. (pick one). Enthusiastic candidates roamed the halls in an at- tempt to gather votes from AHS stu- dents of every political standing. Some campaigners generously distributed chewing gum while others left voting reminders on cars and lockers. The big day finally arrived. '78 Stu- dent Council candidates shared one unusual feature: they were all female. 42 ACTIVITIES j£E o Apparently, no males were eager to take over the awesome responsibilities of Homecoming and school dances • Speeches were presented May 2 as the girls displayed their serious side to a captive audience. Most eloquent of all. Lynda Lankford sported a fake (we hope) nose and moustache. Elected to the presidential position was Dawn Shupe. running against Shari Webber and Lynda Lankford. A runoff for the office was held for Lynda and Dawn. Juli Johnson was declared vice pres- ident. Her opponents consisted of Juniors Laura Lively and Karla Lackey. Janet Stevens, elected to the post of secretary-treasurer. campaigned against only one opponent. Junior Tammy Moore. (A) Janet Stevens and Tammy Moore wait to give their campaign speeches.

ACTIVITIES 43 CM C v AHS Becomes Land of ‘Ah’s’ The journalism room is packed with the newspaper and annual staffs. They crinkle their brows in creative fervor. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the old Our Gang shows We have to think of an idea for the Who's Who assembly, says annual editor Alfalfa Cooley. Let's see . . . our theme is It's Over the Rainbow ' and we have a lot of costumes. Say. let's do a take-off on the Wizard of Oz! Hey. gang, let's put on a SHOW So they did. J-Day arrived on April 2! with new words for Judy Garland : song. Somewhere over the rainbov skies are green. There's a land that heard of in Mr. Crouch s dream. Greer curtains (just like Emerald City) openec to find a frantic Dorothy (alias Melisse Scarr) searching wildly for the lost lane of AHS (AHS is pronounced just like Oz Gee whiz, this is just like the Wizard o Oz!) 44 ACTIVITIES As Dorothy and Little Arlie looked for A s. H's. and S's (for academics, honors, and skills), they also discovered the winners of Who's Who. Awardees were given (you guessed it) yellow bricks. Dorothy and Little Arlie were aided by the stage-struck journalism staff, who played with inspiring enthusiasm. Favo- rite personalities were announced with Kim Menge and David Nichols pro- claimed Mr. and Miss AHS. Senior favorites were Kay Kelley and Ralph McPherson. Juniors elected Brian Pierce and Tracie Arnold, while sopho- mores voted for Jay Hardy and Susie Einhaus.

Some took time to have their 56 ACTIVITIES pictures taken by Mr. Larry Smedley. When they weren't dancing, prom goers sat around at tables quenching their thirst with fruit punch. Chit-chat'' ranged from discussions of the banquet to who (tragically enough) were wearing identical formals.

As the student body voted on the idea of a male monarchy, ardent concillors tried unsuccessfully to present the issue impartially. ( You're not just vot- ing for a Homecoming King. You're vot- ing for freedom and men's rights! Re- member the Bicentennial spirit! ) AHS. not one to stand in the way of democracy, approved the equal rep- resentation of the sexes.

ORGANIZATIONS 101 102 ORGANIZATIONS Band Program Finds Success After a busy season of football and marching, the AHS band divided into four groups and relaxed for a few months, preparing for the spring con- cert season. Every member was in- cluded in either the Symphonic or Con- cert Band, and selected students formed the more active Wind Ensemble and Stage Band. Bands participated in separate con- tests during the early part of the season. Concert Band members traveled to Cisco for a contest where they won top honors, earning all I s and the sweep- stakes award. Later, at Sandy Lake, the band again made all I s and was awarded a trophy for being the Outstanding Band, then spent the rest of day swimming, golfing, and propelling paddle boats around the lake. Symphonic Band also received top ratings at the Sandy Lake contest, as well as various awards at other competi- tions. The Wind Ensemble accompanied the choirs in the Country Jamboree. Con- certs kept the Wind Ensemble busy with their Christmas presentation of The Messiah and the spring Requiem con- cert.

Drummers click their sticks as marchers strut to their positions on the field. The half- time show has begun. This was a familiar routine for band students during the first quarter of the year. Many hours each week were spent marching endlessly up and down the field and rehearsing new music for their weekly shows. All this work, however, served a pur- pose. Friday-night football games were only a part of the band's hectic schedule. Besides half-time drills, the school's marching band participated in several contests such as the Cotton Bowl Parade of Champions and UIL competition. Many halftime shows were highlight- ed by glittering twirling routines per- formed by two feature twirlers. Carol Ebert and Kim Perry. These girls often thrilled the audience by performing a fire routine with special batons after the stadium lights were dimmed. Drum Major Marty Jerome led the band under the direction of Miss Bar- bara Ecabert and Mr. Mike Walker. Of- ficers for the band included Cathy Wil- son. president, and Patty Foreman, vice president.

No. it's not a stage show at a night club. These forty girls make up the Ar- lington High drill team. The 77 football season brought out a variety of changes in the drill team. Ex- changing cowboy boots for tennis shoes and throwing away their ten gal- lon hats brought a new look to this year's drill team outfits. The group was also expanded to include more than twice as many girls this year as com- pared to previous years. The increase in the number of squad members enabled the drill team to try many new routines. Vicki Clements, selected to hold the position of major, led the drill team through the numerous routines. Vicki was assisted by four captains. Sheryl Agnew. Cindy Cannon. Darlene Smith, and Kelli Strong. The drill team spent countless hours after school practicing and perfecting their routines. They worked for weeks in order to put on entertaining perfor- mances at the ten short halftime shows. Was it worth all of this time? Was it worth the suffering of standing on a windy football field in 30 degree weather wearing a short, sleeveless out- fit? Drill team members and their many fans agree ... it was!

This space, reserved for the Interact Student of the Month, is that club s way of rec- ognizing students who have served the school or community. Interact Club members chose Tracey Martin. Roxanne Cantu. Jane Scranton. Bob Payne, and Sharon Egnot to rescue from the tedious trek o'er the parking lot from the boonies to the building. Service is the basis of this Rotary Club-sponsored organization which encourages and practices helpfulness and thoughtfulness of others. Their ser- vice projects included providing the re- cords for the juke-box in the Student Lounge and supplying a stricken family with much needed food and household items. At Colt County Fair, the club de- lighted the junior high element with fussball and pinball. Proceeds from the arcade financed a surprise baby shower for club sponsor Mrs. Shirley Hagan who preferred the pains of childbirth to grading third quarter exams. Members also successfully related to city third graders during the March and April Youth-to-Youth program. Officers for the year were Kathy Cooley, president; Missy Martin, vice president; Jane Scranton, secretary; and Wendy Wilson, treasurer. Mr. Kirk Edney and Mrs. Hagan served as spon- sors.

ORGANIZATIONS 109 Yearbook Staff Collects Paper Somewhere over the rainbow ... Rainbows dominated the discussions of most of the annual staff meetings. This year's theme was illustrated at the an- nual Journalism Assembly in April, where annual staffers created the Land of Ahs and went in search of AHS. Annual staff members had a busy year. Meeting before school started, members planned the annual at a work- shop at SMU. A tour through Taylor Publishing Company, the yearbook publisher, further prepared the group to create a yearbook. Determined to have a good annual, members conducted a paper drive in order to raise money for their creation. But anyone who has walked past the J-room knows that the annual is not just work. Members held numerous parties. Staffers celebrated each other s birth- days. and went on outings to the Spaghetti Warehouse and Llove Field. In May. seniors were honored by Teach at her traditional Lasagna dinner as jealous underclassmen waited for their chance. This year's editor was Kathy Cooley. Activities were handled by Terri Griggs and Loretta Cooper, and the organiza- tions section was compiled by Linda Heinzman and Glenda Gardner. Donna Smith created the honors section while Missy Martin. Carolyn Duff and Juli Baker did the three class sections. Andy Bridges handled the faculty section, and Brenda Hamilton. Leann New.

De- spite the difficulties of working with un- familiar people and trying to write arti- cles that would be of interest to everyone. The Coalition was a great success. Even Channel 4 thought so. and filmed pre-publication meetings for airing on Young 4 Country. Even with a bi-weekly paper to put out. being on the Colt Staff was not all work. A progressive dinner started off the Christmas holidays, and a trip to Austin for competitions and a dinner at the Magic Time Machine highlighted the spring. One of the staff's major ef- forts was the Journalism Wizard of Oz Assembly produced with the Annual Staff, featuring Melissa Scarr as Dorothy. Chad Goetz organized the publica- tion of The Colt as editor, and Valerie Vandergriff assisted as managing editor. Carrie Davis. Jim Ayres. Laura Lackland, and Susan Miller participated as news editors, with Vicki Friberg writ- ing features and Melvin Howell doing the editorials.

According to Webster, a pixie is a mischievous fairy . . . Not according to journalists. Quill and Scroll members know that pixies are secret pals who give out presents every day during the week before Christmas. Pixie presents such as Farrah Fawcett posters, toy ac- robatic dogs, carnations, bubbles, and homemade cookies became pleasant daily surprises for annual and news- paper staffers. The day before the Christmas holi- days. journalists topped off the week with a party at Matt Loynachan's house. Quill and Scroll members gathered at Howard Moore Park in August for a get-acquainted picnic. After a smokey time of roasting weenies and making Summores. the members set- tled down to a thrilling game of Charades. Breakfasts became the thing to do for Q S members, and they dined early in Vandergriff Park on eggs cooked over an open fire and at Matt's house on 10,000 pancakes. The end of the year brought Quill and Scroll members together at Colonial Cafeteria for the annual City Quill Scroll banquet.

SPORT. 147 Games Reflect Total Devotion The Mean Green Machine chalked up its second winning season in a row under the direction of Head Coach Mike O'Brien, completing the year with six wins and four losses and with a 4-3 re- cord in District 8-AAAA play. The Colts' district record was good enough to cap- ture third. AHS looked impressive during pre- season. knocking off Arlington Heights 37-10 and Eastern Hills 7-0 before fal- ling to Highland Park 34-7. Going was tougher in district play. After running over Bowie and Cleburne with scores of 26-0 and 17-0, the Colts took a tough 7-u loss against Richland. AHS quickly bounced back dropping the Burleson Elks 34-19 and upsetting favored crosstown rival Lamar 20 16. The Green Machine ended the season on a sour note, losing to Haltom 7-3 and Sam Houston 12-7. After fumbling the opening kickoff of the season opener, the Colts quickly found themselves behind 10-0. Behind the leadership of All-District Quarter- back Allen Roberts, the Colts came back with three touchdown drives in the first half to go in front of Arlington Heights 23-10. An interception by John Wade set up the fourth Colt TD of the evening. A Roberts-to-Donnie Kearns 13-yard TD pass capped off the AHS scoring. Penalties and mistakes plagued the Colts during the Eastern Hills game. Fortunately the Colts were able to drive 80 yards down the field with a little over four minutes left in the game to capture their second win of the season.

Cold weather and a tough Yellowjac- ket defense hampered the Mean Green offense, but the Colts were able to break through often enough to drop Cleburne 26-0. Richland's Rebels turned the tide on the Colts, clogging the machinery of the AHS offense. The Rebels scored mid- way through the second period, cap- ping off a 68-yard drive in 13 plays. Turnovers hampered the Colts throughout the game. On October 21, AHS soundly defeated the Burleson Elks 36-14. The final blow came in the third quarter when Kelly Hyde ran back a kickoff 92 yards for the Colts' final touchdown. Crosstown rivals, the Lamar Vikings, almost proved to be too much for the Colts. Behind 10-0. Hyde capped off two long drives to put the Colts ahead 12-10. A Lamar drive put AHS behind 16-12 late in the fourth quarter. With 1:57 re- maining in the game and a fourth down. Cribbs snagged a 16-yard pass from Roberts in the corner of the endzone to put AHS ahead for good. 20-16. Homecoming excitement was dam- pened when the Haltom Buffaloes jumped the Colts 7-3. The only bright spot of the game came when sopho- more place kicker Ali Haji-Sheikh booted a field goal to give the Colts an early lead.

With endless effort and determination, the Ponies worked to- ward their district play. In pre-season the Ponies met Arling- ton Heights. Eastern Hills and Highland Park. The young Colts found their inex- perience a problem with a loss to Ar- lington Heights 6-20. In a much closer game against Eastern Hills, the Ponies were defeated 14-20. As had the varsity, the Ponies had quite a bit of trouble with Highland Park. AHS found the Scottie offense unstoppable and their defense impassable in the 35-0 defeat. In their first district game, the Ponies defeated the Bowie Volunteers 7-0. In- itiating a drive, the Mean Green then de- feated Cleburne 26-20. In close matches with Richland and Burleson, the Colts were downed 25-33 and 7-8 respec- tively. The Ponies then met Lamar and found the crosstown riv?.!s a real chal- lenge. The result was a 24-0 defeat. In a final surge, the Ponies came around to soundly defeat Haltom 33-7 and Sam Houston 23-0.

SPORTS 175 JV Girls Take District’s 2nd Made up strictly of sophomores, the girls junior varsity basketball team showed great potential for next season. Pre-season proved to be a real chal- lenge for the Colts with several early losses. District play began Dec. 13 with a vic- tory over Lamar. The junior ferns en- tered the Kennedale round-robin JV Tournament and placed third after being defeated by Azle. They then entered the home tourna- ment and placed second behind Dun- canville. Lamar. Sam Houston, and Bowie then fell victim to the Colts' mighty drive during season play. Thfc junior Colts found Burleson their only foe. Losses in both Burleson matches brought the girls a second place district ranking. These sophomores went through a rigorous spring training and will be ready in the fall to join the remaining juniors to make up next year s Arlington Colts. A hint of a possible change to five- man teams has come about as a result of a discrimination case in the Texas court system. This change will hurt all the teams for the first year, but once it's accepted and the teams adjust, the new rules will make the game more fun. more interesting, and more fair.

Arlington High suffered through a 14-10-1 won-loss tally for the season. 9-5 in district play. The third-place finish was less than what the Colts had hoped for. Coach Bud Miller surprised the club by announcing his retirement at the end of the year. The head coach added that he would continue to teach at AHS. If that was not enough to make the year memorable. ' serious accusations were made against the Colt baseballers by residents with backyards bordering the AHS diamond. Coach Miller admit- ted that stray foul balls were a problem, but that the rest of the charges were false. Danny Smith led the Colts throughout the season. The veteran three-year shortstop starter received recognition as the Most Valuable Player. Outstand- ing Hitter. Most Stolen Bases, and Best Defensive Player. Dangerous Smith was named to the area All-District team, along with teammate Allen Roberts. Roberts led the squad in most runs bat- ted in.

Bob Achieves Record Times Track is a team sport made up of indi- vidual efforts. The type of individual ef- forts can make or break a team. That was the case of the Colt thinclads this year. The Colts, led by Coach Gerald Richey, had a stable full of distance runners, but were unable to muster any- thing in the sprint department. Bob Payne, carrying a perfect win- ning season into the state meet in Aus- tin. closed out his high school career with a fourth place finish. In the pro- cess. Payne set and reset the school re- cord for the mile several times. The top Colt strider broke the old record of 4:20 in the regional meet, breaking the tape with a 4:19.7. The following meet. Payne reset the record with a personal best of 4:19. The tough competition at the state meet inspired Payne to his best effort and a new AHS record of 4:15.6. Playing second fiddle to Payne all year long. Cameron Bird proved to be the toughest competition Payne had up to the regional meet. Cameron finished second to Payne every time they ran against each other, but Bird proved to be the best when Payne wasn't around. Bird turned in a 4:25.6 in the Colt Relays to walk off with the mile run title. His effort ranked him fourth in the state at that time in the season. Besides the Colts' one-two finish by Payne and Bird in the mile run in dis- trict. Will Bowers topped out at 14' in the pole vault. Expected to be one of the top vaulters in district. Bowers was bothered by a leg injury all year long. The Colts suffered their worst per- formance in the district as a team over the past several years. Arlington finished fifth in team standings with a total of 42 points, taking one first place, one second place, one third, and sev- eral fourth, fifth, and sixth place finishes thrown in.

The championship was not anticipated, but certainly dreamed of by many who par- ticipated. That dream and many hours of hard work brought the title home to AHS. This district victory brought the total number for girls sports to four of a pos- sible four. The track class, held 4B period, began working out the second day of school. After-school workouts began Feb. 7. Due to the overlapping of sports, many team members did not join the class until late February. This does cause interference, and because of this it takes these people a while to get into the events. This changes our relay teams and the differ- ent events that people can participate in, said Head Coach Paula Slease. Early district meets did not prove too promising for the Colt ferns. The com- petition was very stiff and the girls were not quite ready. Marked improvement was shown as the girls placed fourth at Irving and third at their home hosted Colt-Viking Relays (they were edged by SHHS by V2 point). As April rolled around, so did the Colts. They took their first first-place ranking in the Lewisville meet, and went on the next week to take District with ill points. Four juniors and four seniors qual- ified to go to Regionals with the mile relay. 440 relay. 440 sprint, and the 880 yard run. Georgann Johnston finished 8th in the finals of the 880-yard run.

The '76-'77 Arlington High School cheerleaders were more likely to be holding pom-pons than harps. Sweetly caroled 'hosannas ' took the form of a hoarse Gimme a C! and the flowing celestial robes were modified into green-and-white miniskirts. Freezing football games, though, provoked saintly (or more likely mar- tyred) qualities in the cheerleaders. Rah-rahing cheerfully for lethargic fans and teams that didn't always win. the girls learned to cope with icicled fin- gers. frostbitten feet, and a wardrobe that only Emerald Citizens could love. Creating energy and enthusiasm measuring high on the decibel scale. AHS cheerleaders hurrahed the Colt teams anywhere a ball was thrown, hit. kicked, thumped, dribbled, volleyed, or (darn it) dropped. Boundless in supplies of spirit and poster paint, they cheered on the sidelines of both boys and girls teams at football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, and track events. Quick calculations proving that doubling the girls doubled the spirit, ten girls cheered on the varsity team, in- cluding Tracey Arnold. Susan Bloom. Debbie Brown. Kelly Davis. Nancy Engel.

Hope fully that sense of worth will caus- 232 FACULTY also be involved in school and not just keep a seat warm while in high school. —Pat Thompson Having graduated from AHS my- self, I am particularly grateful to be back teaching here.

Impress on classes they need to like what they choose as a profession — FACULTY 233 Classes Teach Students Job Opportunities I try to reflect in my teaching — a mutual concern for mankind, that re- gardless of personal qualities or characteristics, he is entitled to re- spect as a human being — and devo- tion. enthusiasm and integrity to a career in the health field. —Alice Boggan I believe a teacher should strive to treat each student as an individual; with respect for the person he is. and in hopes that the student will react in the same manner. —Stephen Wilkendorf I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do. let me do it now. For I shall not pass this way again. —Patsy Spracklen Of my many objectives. I give priority to helping today's student develop improved attitudes of personal integ- rity. self-reliance, self-discipline, pat- riotism. citizenship, and respect for constituted authority.

I be- lieve this to be true and if I am able to convince my students of it, then I think we are on our way toward many positive experiences. — Lynda Bradham If we, as educators, can help instill this challenge in our students’ minds — “Do the best you can with the abil- ity you have, be proud of your effort, and content with the results.“ — then we too can be proud of our efforts as well as our results. — Judy Stricklin My philosophy of education is the total development of the individual, physical as well as emotionally and mentally, to be able to meet the de- mands of life. — Paula Slease Pride is the same in all men, the difference is the method of display- ing it. — Joni McCoy Education has to be a growth pro- cess; mentally, physically, emotion- ally, and spiritually. The process should be structured enough to give the student a chance to succeed in whatever endeavor he or she might choose after graduation. The student must have the chance to make choices and then be taught the re- sponsibility that goes with making a choice. — Mike O'Brien (A) Coach Michael O'Brien looks on during the Arlington.

Senior Class FACULTY 239 241 Class Leaders Direct Seniors Through Year Planning, scheming, cajoling, and di- recting the 1977 Senior Class was a group of active officers. They planned the year's activities, from float building to the graduation ceremony. They schemed to come up with new money-making ideas to re- place the magazine subscription sale, a long-time senior tradition that bit the dust due to new school policies barring sales. They cajoled merchants into donating fabulous prizes for the senior raffle at the Colt County Fair, and they directed their fellow classmates in all these endeavors. Heading the slate of officers was Nick Fox. president, who was assisted by Kirk Lewis, vice president; Roxanne Cantu, secretary; and Kirk Pearson and Kelli Strong, social directors. They were backed by a large and active Senior Council. Seniors invited everyone to a disco dance in the gym after the Bowie Volun- teer football game to get their money- making underway. Then at the Colt County Fair, the Senior Saloon really packed 'em in. Their very successful raffle also added coins to the class treasury. But the entire year wasn't spent in pursuit of the green stuff. The Class of '77 enjoyed their picnic, a super ban- quet and prom, an impressive vespers service, and then strolled across the Texas Hall stage for that final slip of paper. (A) Senior Class President Nicky Fox helps Cindy Cannon review for final tests (B) Vice President Kirk Lewis takes a break from his work on the senior Homecoming float.

After teaching a full load of classes, the nine would gather in the teachers' lounge or in a classroom for an hour of planning on the prom or the float or caps and gowns or the senior picnic or gradua- tion or.. . Acting as chairman for the group was history teacher Mr. Barry Wilmoth. Doing whatever Barry told us to. were sponsors Mrs. Lou Baker. Mrs. Flo Francis. Mrs. Loveta Moore. Mr. John Ritter. Mrs. Ann Schmidt. Mr. Larry Smedley. Mrs. Vicki Tapp, and Mrs. Janet Wallace. Sponsors saw that the Class of '77 had a winning float in the Homecoming parade, ordered announcements and caps and gowns on time, had a super banquet and prom, received a gigantic amount of awards in the senior assem- bly while watching slides of themselves, conducted an impressive vespers ser- vice. and finally walked across the Texas Hall stage to receive their dip- lomas.

Kicking the evening off was the senior banquet. Swathed in brilliant baby blue and yellow, the Sheraton ballroom played host to the fete. After consuming a meal of broiled chicken and other del- icacies. the superclassmen settled back to witness the presentation of awards to special seniors such as Cathy Spivy. David Nichols. Amy McGlasson. Terri Griggs, and Laurie Stambulic. who re- ceived the first annual David Tarrance Award. But the real highlight of the dinner came in a flood of memories and tears as the senior slide show was flashed on the screen. Afterwards, the spiffily attired men and their dates tripped on down to the prom to do some boogeyin' (dancing that is) to the music of About Tyme as cameras clicked and sadness grew. Seniors will never forget ‘The way they were. (A) AHS seniors dance to the music of About Tyme. (B) Tom Ferris steals the show at the prom.

The class picnic at Barbrook Park in Haltom offered a mini-vacation from school for the seniors, while underclassmen had to endure their regular afternoon classes. Most swimmers splashed around in the water, but the more adventurous sought their thrills on the three-lane slide and high dive. Frisbees flew and volleyballs bounced as the group worked up its appetite; the Colonel supplied the chicken for many, while others bought burgers there. At first, the pool seemed to be for guys only, since members of the fairer sex stayed out of the water to save their hairstyles and to sun bathe. However, when the heat became unbearable and they saw how much fun the guys were having, the girls forsook beauty to join in the cooler fun. Seniors enjoyed themselves so much, in fact, that all were reluctant to leave despite repeated closing time an- nouncements. (A) Mark Baker and Jerry Greenwood strike a pose for the camera. (B) Keith Simmons and John Shuttee discuss the strategy of their frisbee game. (C) Cindy Barton. Rhonda Fos- ter and Gerry Jonaitis decide to test out the kiddie pool.

They joined in early in Arlington High activities and didn't slow down during the year. Exercising their upperclassman power, juniors searched out every live sophomore on Howdy Day and al- lowed him to sing his version of the fight song. Members of the Class of '78 built a float, yelled at pep rallies, and hosted the Junior Jail at the Colt County Fair. Then in an attempt to get a jump on financing their senior activities, juniors turned the AHS parking lot into a small Traders Village for their rummage sale. Leading their classmates in all these activities were the class officers. Brian Pierce, president: Rod Houghton, vice president; Lee Ann Bryce, secretary: Sam Carter, boys' social chairman: and Shelly Wendell, girls' social chairman. An active Junior Council supported the officers in the class activities. Always on hand to lend support or exert veto power was the crew of junior sponsors. Mr. Robert Nutter. Mr. Randy Porter. Mr. Mike Stovall. Mr. Rick Theobalt. Mrs. Marie Cremer. Miss Susan Ferris, and Mrs. Melba McKnight. (A) Do you understand this assignment? asks junior sponsor. Coach Mike Stovall. (8) Junior Class Social Chairman Sam Carter. Secretary Lee Ann Bryce, and President Brian Pierce plan the Junior Jail with Social Chairman Shelly Wendel and Vice Presi- dent Rod Houghton. (C) Grading these es- says gets to you after a while. thinks Miss Susan Ferris. (D) Mrs. Melba McKnight pre- pares for her early class. (E) I saw you blow that bubble.' says Mr. Robert Nutter. (F) Mr. Rick Theobalt consults Mrs. Marie Cremer about plans for the junior float. (G) I could've sworn that guy was off sides, mumbles Coach Randy Porter at a B-team game. 282 JUNIORS G82 SbOlNnr Temple Ad ay Debbie Addison Diane Agel Greg Alford Joan Allen Laura Allen Oliver Allen Eric Aim Tim Anton Sherry Armstror Tracie Arnold Taffy Baghaei JUNIORS JUNIORS JUNIORS JUNIORS JUNIORS JUNIORS Kathy Bailey Liz Baker Scott Baker Wilson Baker Linda Barthold Carlos Battle Lori Beavers Bonnie Becker Jerry Bell Ron Bellamy Matt Berndt Lydia Berry Kelly Biggs Bridget Bindel Cameron Bird Jim Bird Shelly Bishop Bill Black John Black Craig Blakemore Lisa Bland Bonnie Bledsoe Kristen Bloom Phyllis Boelter Pam Boese John Bohannon Julie Bomberger Sandy Bondurant Sarah Borgstedt Debi Boulware 284 JUNIORS Janet Bourland Cindy Bracken Ricky Bramall Gemmi Breach Sherry Brock David Brown Debbie Brown Kathy Brown Patricia Brown Phillip Brown Rusty Brown Rick Browne Keith Broyles Lee Ann Bryce Julie Buchanan Don Burgardt Lisa Burnett Mary-Dawn Burnett JUNIORS Kelly Frye displays her sheer energy.

JUNIORS 297 Leaders Guide Class of 79 Jumping into high school activities with both feet were the 1976-77 sopho- mores who were guided by a set of brand new officers and several experi- enced sponsors. Soon after school began, the sophs gathered for their first official meeting and elected Jay Hardy, president; Susie Einhaus. vice president: Lisa Stevens, secretary; Shelli Stewart, girls' social chairman: and Jeff Lambert, boys' so- cial chairman. Helping the officers to map plans for a sophomore float in the Homecoming parade, sponsoring a Christmas dance, and sophomore booths in the Colt County Fair were sponsors Mrs. Sharon Mars. Miss Joni McCoy. Mr. Mike O'Brien. Mrs. Alice Boggan. Mrs. Helen Bowen. Mr. George Averyt. Mrs. Becky McDonald. (A) Sophomore sponsors Mrs. Sharon Mars.

(C) Mrs. Becky McDonald listens to suggestions for a band to engage for the Sophomore Dance. 300 SOPHOMORES phomore class officers Shelli Stewart, girls' social chairman: Jeff Lambert, boys' social chairman: Susie Einhaus. vice president: Lisa evens, secretary: and Jay Hardy, president: enjoy a pepperoni and Canadian bacon pizza after one of the many executive sessions. SOPHOMORES 301 Sophs Emerge From 1st Year As True Colts Sophomores wasted no time in be- coming involved in the total picture of AHS activities. The first few days of los- ing the way to class were offset by the new privilege” of choosing which kind of hamburger to eat for lunch as the kids experienced an open campus during lunch for the first time. Just when things were settling down to normal and sophomores were able to pass for first-class citizens in the AHS halls, disaster struck in the form of Howdy Day. Upperclassmen appeared from out of the woodwork to make the Class of 79 SING. Rebounding from this beginning, the sophs jumped into a round of activities that ranged from drama to track, and from float building to booth building. (A) Denise Seal unwinds after a cross coun- try meet. (B) 'Will this ever look like a float?” Mary Gay Pearson asks Mandy Mullins. (C) Amy Davis smiles as money is exchanged for chips at Colt County Fair. (D) Jim Turner re- veals his talents by pickin' and sometimes grinnin at the CC Fair. (E) Colette Benoit concentrates intently on a routine. (F) Hey you gorgeous thing, exclaims Woody Cash. (G) Games are serious business according to Kim Winters. 302 SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORES 303 Bill Bunch and Chuck Hartley show the Colts are tops at a lively pep rally.

Dianne Vandiver Marveling at Creation Give me a sphere and I shall write you geometry. Give me a flower and I shall write you beauty. Give me the mountains and I shall write you grandeur.

Lynn Fusion Cad Carroll SPECTRUM 323 Definition of Time Time is lost in the motion of life like the endless soaring of an eagle in flight. Man believes time is of the essence — what a foolish thought is that — For man's time is not within his soul, but on his wrist or wall. Man's time is not based on nature's rhythm, but on gears, dials, and mainwheels. Time separates life and death and holds, in a moment, the alpha and omega. It is the instrument of God for God has turned back time. And each man lives to his own time, and yet, only love can bridge the canyon of time.
