Un Me Govan, The Austin High School seal was designed before 1900 and is based on the Great Seal of the State of Texas. Including the star of five points representing the Republic of Texas and the olive and live oak branches for strength opposed to fertility, the SFA seal contains the Latin Motto, Mens Agitat Molem, which translates as The Mind Stirs The Mass, meaning that a person's intellect will guide his actions. In 1953 the seal was modified to include the words Austin High School in the place of The State of Texas around the outside of the star and with the motto beneath. 8 .- These are the people and scenes of Stephen F. Austin as seen through the eyes of cartoonist Whitney Ayres, crea- tor of the Lucky comic strip.

Before the dawning of the fall semester, Stephen F. Austin High School was designated an exemplary public secondary school by the Department of Education. As a result, the academic year was marked by celebration, pride, special assemblies with guest speakers, publicity, and visits from educators and observers from other schools in the nation. The year was unpredictable. During the same week that Principal jacquelyn McGee was in Washington D.C. to accept the Excellence in Education award from President Ronald Reagan, the University In- terscholastic League iUILj de- termined that the Maroon varsity football team would be disqualified from the district competition. The team and 'its supporters suffered due to a rules infraction by Coach Bill Harper. However, the season was filled with spirit and pride for the school's success in academic accomplishments. The year was appraising. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools evaluated 8: accredited the school, and the district implemented new graduation requirements as a result of revisions by the state Board of Education.The grad- uation requirements includ- ed two graduation plans and raised the minimum number of credits from 18 to 21 or 22, and the plan would affect incoming freshmen during the fall of 1984. Consequently, the effects on Austin High would be insignificant since the AISD already required 21 units for graduation. Since the state Board of Education wanted to encourage rigorous academic courses to be pursued by the students, the only material addition to the curriculum was an economics course. dy Melanie fbupwf The year was con troversial. Throughout the school year, H. Ross Perot and his Select Committee on Public Education reviewed and cri- ticized Texas schools. Most of the committee's proposals were reforms that had already been implemented at Austin High, but the remaining proposals, such as lengthening the school day by two hours and the school year by ten days brought objections from students and educators. Perot said there was a need for Texas schools to recapture the school day for learning, and he criticized that most schools were places for play. His criticisms directed against athletics, extra curricular ac- tivities and vocational educa- tion drew hostile responses. As the year came to an end, it appeared that the Texas legislature would approve many of the proposals in a summer special session, in- cluding a higher pay raise for teachers that Perot recommended. The year was political. The 1984 presidential cam- paign was underway with Walter Mondale and Gary Hart visiting Austin to solicit votes to win the chance to face Ronald Reagan in the fall, 1984 presidential election. jesse jackson, the first viable black presidential candidate, also created a lot of excitement. Austin State Sen. Lloyd Doggett, a 1964 graduate of Austin High, won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat held by john Tower who is retiring, Doggett would face Republican Con- gressman Phil Gramm in the November election. Locally, Lidia Perez defeated Manual Navarro for a place on the Austin School Board and trustees Abel Ruiz and Nan Clayton were re-elected. And controversy continued to swirl around Austin's participation in the south Texas Nuclear Project, with an effort by citizens to recall the council for issuing revenue bonds without voter approval to pay for the plant. Soviets shoot down Korean airliner Korean Air Lines Flight 007 was blasted out of the skies by a Soviet plane Aug. 31, 1983, resultin in the loss of 269 lives. The world-wide reaction was of shoci and disbelief, and the superpowers in diplomacg began one of the most unexpected confrontations of each ot er since the cold war. Although the aircraft destroyed near the Soviet island of Sakhalin was not American, it did carry at least 61 American passengers, including U.S. Congressman, Lawrence McDonald of Georgia, the Presi ent of the right-wing john Birch Society. The incident was called by President Reagan a crime against humanity and a violation of the most fundamental rules of the air. The Soviet Union did not provide an adequate explanation of their action. When they finall admitted tothe attack, they accused the plane of being a Ugl spyplane. Flight 007 took off from Alaska at 10 a.m. EDT, heading for Seou , South Korea. At noon the jumbo passenger 747 jet turned west from the scheduled route into Soviet airspace where the aircraft was infringing upon nonqfree flying territory and could be fired on without warning, according to Newsweek magazine. japanese intelligence stations watched the Soviets monitor the jumbo jet for two and a half hours as the Korean plane first passed over the Russian island of Petropavlovsk and then over the island of Sakhalin. At 2:26 PM the Soviet missile that had been fired upon the unarmed aircraft was reported and hours later, after initial news reports that the aircraft had either crashed or landed safely at a Soviet airport, confirmation was received of the downing of the jet. The incident increased tensions between the US and the Soviet Union at a crucial time in nuclear wea ons negotiations, talks later broken off after US deployment otPPershing missiles in Europe. The international environment was clearly mored unfriendly because of the incident. Austin High marches in UT Centennial parade The Band, Red jackets, and more than 40 other members of SFA clubs and organizations marched to the tunes of the Twenties, Sept. 15, during the University of Texas Centennial Parade. All t e other AISD high schools plus Westlake joined the march down 26th Street, Guadalupe, Martin Luther King Blvd. and Congress Avenue to the capitol. Costumes, banners, music, and floats displayed American, Texas and U.T. history. Austin High contributed to the look at 100 years of UT education through the looks and themes of the Roaring Twenties. Some Austin High students wore glamourous twenties fashions, flapper costumes, or old-fashioned U.S. military uniforms. The SFA faculty contributed a float covered with a banner in the front that read UT Goes To War while the rest of the float was covered with American flags. SFA students walked alongside the float holding up signs explaining their theme, or rode on the float which displayed a three dimensional Uncle Sam pointing to the crowds on either side of the road. The march was long and tiring for eve one, but SFA students held their festive pride to the parades end. While keeping smiles on their faces and their steps sharp and clear, the Red jackets vibrated spirit through the streets, and the Band carried the twenties tunes through their instruments to the final steps. Spirit soars at afternoon pep rally During break on Fri., Sept. 16, the competitive senior class challenged the underclassmen on the second floor commons area to a demonstration of school spirit by the cheers: We've Got Spirit and V.l.C.T.O.R.Y. The juniors, sophomores, and even the freshmen tried to out-yell the seniors, but it was a losing battle. In turn, the seniors started the chant, Seniors Rule and people on the third floor tried to help others on the second floor by screaming their classification. This was only the start of the highstrung battle between the classes before the first afternoon pe rally of the year. Each class strategically tried to win the spirit competition with signs, props and mutual class chants during the 3:15 rally. The freshmen were placed opposite the sophomores as the juniors were facing the seniors. While each class tried to out-spirit the others, the underclassmen used their voices as weapons, flashed signs, and held up lposters, Members of the senior class held up pages of the ocal newspaper for an original displa of spirit. They looked pretty sharp, especially when they all, threw the papers in the air to start their individual chants. When the band marched into the gymnasium the students clapped their hands and stomped their feet to the booming of the dnims. As the cheerleaders presented various cheers, the classes screamed at the top of their lungs for the varsity football team, in hopes of winning the weekly spirit stick. T e whole gym echoed of spirit. Out of the noise and from behind the bleachers came Action 24 sports reporter, Ben Storey, with his camera man, an event which drove the student body wild. The noise increased. After waiting awhile for the students to calm themselves, Storey took a microphone, commented on the incredible spirit, and said that this pep rally was the loudest he'd ever been to. As the camera man zoomed in on excited students, Storey started many zany cheers and called upon different classes to display vocal strengths. The freshmen, sophomores, iuniors, and seniors matched each other's volume showing total s irit, PStorey then brought out a hurge trophy with a gold football mounted on top. He announce that SFA varsity football had won the 24-Action News Team of the Week award for their strong performance in the 14-8 victory over Travis High the preceeding week. The gym erupted in pandemonium. SFA Disqualified from District Football race During varsity football practice on Tuesday, Sept. 27, Coach Bill Harper called the team together before advancing to the field for the workout. Harper had bad news. He said that Stephen F. Austin High School had been disqualified from winning the District 26AAAAA football championship or making it to state UIL playoffs in 1983. The disqua ification was the result of a violation ofa UIL rule which prohibits a student or team from taking part in more than one game within five calendar days. Two Austin High football players participated in the varsity game against McCallum on Friday, Sept. 16, and were permitted to p ay in the junior varsity game against McCallum on the fol owing Saturday, Sept. 17. The members of the varsity team were shocked to hear the news. Some players went home early from practice in angry disbelief while others stayed for the workout. Harper anticipated the reaction from the hard-working players, but he hope the team would stay together for the remainder of the season, The following day the Austin-American Statesman published a story about the violation and penalty that the UIL District Committee decided to assess against Austin High. lt stated that the remaining games of the season would be counted as forfeiture. However, in reality and contrary to the American-Statesman story, Austin High received the disgualification penalty which greatly differs from the for eiture penalty. In forfeiture, the remaining games of the season would be recorded in UIL district records as automatic losses, regardless whether Austin High won, tied, or lost, In the disqualification penalty, the remaining games of the season were played and the actual scores were recorded, but none of the games could be counted as District 26AAAAA competition. The players and the students came to school with newspapers in their hands in disappointing confusion. The forfeiture news was how the majority of the student body saw Austin High's season punishment. However, on Sept. 29, Tom Prentice, journalism teacher, spoke to the students during announcements. Prentice stated the correct information and encouraged the school to maintain it's pride. Also on that day the Austin-American Statesman corrected itself in the sports section with a story interviewing SFA players. The team said that they would stick together and play their hardest throughout the football season. Many troubled parents of the players presented their concerns confronting the UIL ruling. T ese parents not ong wanted to change t e ruling, but they believed that AIS coaches had met earlier in the season in order to collectively break UIL rules. No evidence was discovered which verified the booster's beliefs as a result of an investigation conducted by Supt. Iohn Ellis in mid-November. Homecoming activities include parade, mums, and a dance The fall Student Council, under the leadership of President Paul Gerling, provided a co-ordinated Homecoming Celebration Sept, 30, The council organized a morning Spirit Parade, a Homecoming dance in the school cafeteria a ter the varsity football game against Lanier High, and sold traditional Homecoming mums, Before school, many organizations and class groups joined the band, the Red jackets, and the cheerleaders in the Homecoming Parade, It started in the east parking lot and ended by going through the west parking lot.

Once all the marchers and their tloats reached the west parking lot, the participants joined an outdoor pep rally beside t e west side entrance. The Homecoming Dance featured a special effects company, Whiplash, which provided a disc jockey, lights, videos, mirrors, and a fog machine. This comcpany also played requested songs. The students danced an partied until the clock struck twelve. A student ID was required of all students and the admission was 51.50 for a single ticket and 52,50 for cou les. This year the Student Council sent invitations to the parents of students to visit Austin High on Homecoming, All alumni were welcome to the parade, football game, and dance. U.S. Marines killed in Beirut terrorist bombing Flags were flown half-mast all over the nation in response to the deaths of more than 200 U.S. Marines in Lebanon on Oct. 23. A suicidal Lebanese terrorist rammed a truck carrying explosive cargo into the four-story Marine headquarters buildin . Its result was the largest non-nuclear explosion in human iistory. I The goal of the attack was clear: to drive out the U.S. troops. ' The American military was present in Lebanon with France, Italy, and Britain to promote peace. The terrorists wanted them out, but who was behind the attack? In his nationwide address on television the following Thursday, President Ronald Reagan made a strong statement in favor of the continuation of the U.S. presence in Lebanon: We cannot and will not dishonor them now, and the sacrifices they made, by failing to remain as faithful to the cause of freedom and the pursuit of peace as they have been. Throughout the week, the site of those sacrifices was slowly pulled apart in the search for marines, dead lor alive. As bulldozers and cranes grumbled back and forth in attempt to pull away the crushed slabs of concrete, other volunteers searched throughout the ruins. Eventually the hope of finding survivors diminished as the wreckage search ended. Following stepped up criticism of the presence of the Marines from Congress and from Democratic presidential candidates, Reagan ordered a withdrawal of the Marines from the Beirut airport in Feb., 1984, a move Reagan exkplained was simply redeployment of the Marines to ships o the coast of Lebanon. US invades Grenada For the first time since the Vietnam War, the U.S. committed troops to a combat attack Monday, Oct. 24. The invasion of Grenada immediately drew a worldwide choms of protest. The assault took place on the island 80 miles off the Venezuelan coast in the Carribean's Windward Islands. President Rea an's decision to invade the tiny island was conducted wits the declared purpose of protectin the lives of 1,000 Americans who were retained on the isiand after a militarly coup had togpled the left-wing government. On uesday, Oct. 2 , two days after t e death of more than 200 Marines in Beirut, the U.S. sent 650 armed Marines and hundreds of U.S. Rangers to rescue the Americans on the island. Although six of Grenada's worried Caribbean neighbors had requested the U.S. action and supplied 400 men to the operation, many nations accused the U.S. of violating international law. But the administration produced evidence which it said showed that Grenada was becoming a Soviet-Cuban base that threatened U.S. stategic interests in the Caribbean. When the U.S. Army Rangers met heavy resistance from Grenada military and from Cubans on the island, an additional 5,000 U.S. paratroopers were sent to the island. By Thursday, Oct. 27, all major military objectives were declared secure. The final American toll was put at 18 killed and 91 wounded. From Cuban records captured on the island, it was established that the Cuban and Soviet compacts with Grenada had been more elaborate than the U.S. ad thought. Fidel Castro had planned to send 341 officers and 4,000 soldiers to the island, increasin the total of armed Cubans to the force of 6,800. Later six wareiouses north of the Point Salines airstrip had been found with Soviet and Cuban ammunition, but the arms were recorded as ancient. Although the 1,000 Americans on the island were not in imminent danger, President Reagan said that being so close to such an inherently unstable regime could have put the U.S. citizens in jeopardy, and that the mission was necessary to protect them. Observance marks Stephen F. Austin's birthday Because preserving tradition wasa goal of the spring semester Student Council in 1977, they began a spirit focus day for the fall of that year known as the celebration and memorial service for Stephen F. Austin's birthday, For the past six years, students on a steeriigg committee have successful y produced such an event each ov. 3. This year, more than 300 of Austin High's students, teachers, and alumni braved the rainy morning of Stephen F. Austin's 190th birthday celebration. Visitors from other schools and representatives of each of the U.S. Armed Forces were also present. I if Senior Jeff Sanders, the emcee, opened the program noting the celebration closely accompanied Veteran's Day, and Missi Brandes, senior, introduced the present armed forces representatives. Todd Bland, Lane Brindley, Iohn Greenway, Dana Hanslik, and Susan Stoltz, organizers of the memorial service, introduced and welcomed visitors from Porter junior High, Lanier High School, Westlake High, and Churchill High School from San Antonio. David Davalos was one of the several students visiting from Churchill High who had been touring the school in order to find out more about the other Texas high school named exemplary by the U.S. Department of Education. He said that he was g ad to share the honor with as fine as institution as Austin High School, and he hoped that students from SFA would consider a return visit to Churchill Hi h. After Lisa Goodman, senior, read a brie? biography of Stephen F. Austin, Tom Prentice, journalism teacher at SFA, gave the audience an inspiring speech on the importance of personal and institutional heritage. He traced Austin High's links to the past and his own links to American history, challenging students to learn of their own personal heritage and to act to shape living history rather t an to sit on the sidelines and observe history being made, Prentice criticized the nuclear arms race, asking whether the nuclear age will shape us or will we shape the nuclear age. Alluding to Iohn F. Kennedy, whose death profoundly affected Austin High some twenty years previous, Prentice criticized Ronald Reagan's handling of the Grenada crisis, especially censorship of the press. The most memorable speaker was Col. James Lamar, a veteran of the Vietnam war who had flown in more than 80 combat missions before being taken prisoner from 1966 to 1973. Lamar told the audience how he parachuted out over North Vietnam in his 84th mission and was captured by local peasants. His captors broke him only after he thwarted their plans to interrogate him, set him up as a flak trap for rescue missions, and held a press conference with him as their hostage. Lamar said he learned the meaning of freedom, and that when a country is taken over by communists the first thing that oes is the freedom of the media and the next is the educational freedom. He concluded by explaining his present occupation of selling America to Americans. As the colorguard from Fort Sam Houston provided a closing demonstration, Martelle Luedecke-Klier senior, announced the annual placing of the wreath by the memorial stone, which has been a Maroon tradition since 1920. Once the wreath was put in place, Rosendo Sanchez, band director, sounded Taps from the third floor balcony, as it began to rain again. Some of the students had tears in their eyes while others silently thought about the service. When the bell rang everyone briefly saluted and returned to their classes. Southern Association evaluates SFA During the week of Nov. 7, the school was evaluated by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools QSACSJ as a part of a district wide inspection designed to determine if individual high schools are to par with the majority of the nation's schools. Austin High, Crockett, Travis, McCallum, Lanier, Reagan and Johnston were all accredited by SACS for another 10 ears. y The team of about 50 evaluators analyzed segments of Austin High's curriculum including Art, Business Education, Driver's Education, English, Foreign Language, Health and Physical Education, Industrial Arts, Math, Music, Science, Social Studies, Special Education and Vocational Education. Other elements of the evaluation included student activities, administratorlteacher cooperation and support services. The task force was made up of education professionals from the South West Education Lab, and the Texas Education Agency as well as other educational agencies. The study involved a comparison between a self-education and a week's worth of observations by the evaluation team. Separation of church and state affects Fellowship of Christian Students The separation between church and state became a definite reality to the Fellowship of Christian Students. They were not allowed to announce meetings over the school's P.A. system or to put up numerous posters about their fellowship in the school. Even though the group did not have an official mission, they met weekly to have fellowship before school. On Nov. 8, Thomas Cogldell, Sophomore, invited Christian Scott Puffer to speak. He c allenged the students to show their Christian commitment in their aily lives at high school and in their relationships, The meeting ran similar to an informal service. Throughout this year, the Supreme Court studied the nation's question about minor mixtures of religion with school, Some issues announced were Bible study courses, spiritual meditation during school hours, an religious group involvement. However, the US Senate refused to pass a constitutional amendment supported by Pres. Reagan which would have authorized organized, voluntary prayer in school. we .'i': Coach Bill Harper awaits his team's recognition at a it 4 , r 2 1 1 . I ' f O f f 2 v , I r , , t , . . , in WW ' .

Beth Simpkin wins in AAAA Diving Competition The AAAA Diving Invitational for high school divers was held in San Antonio on Nov. 18-19. Divers from the Austin area competed together as a single team. Beth Simpkin, freshman, not only participated in the competition but brought home fifth place awar s for the high three meter board and the low one meter board. After fouryears of gractice, Simpkin's best dives on the low board were t e front 112 and the back 112 pike. On the high board her favorite dives were the front layout, front dive with a 112 twist, and the front 2 112 pike. At the end of her high school education, Sim kin hopes to receive a college scholarship for her divin skills. During the academic year the Austin higi school area team competed in five meets, ln the summer another five meets are held, but the competitions enjoy the outdoor diving scene. ABC's 'The Day After' stirs nuclear war discussion Devastated. Kansas City, Middle America, and the nation has been destroyed. The buttons have been pushed, the missiles have been launched, and the bombs have fallen. A shattered world remains: a society of the dying, a civilization in ruins, ' During social studies, science, journalism and other classes on Nov. 21, which followed showing of ABC's 'The Day After' movie about nuclear war, teachers held discussions with students who had viewed television's nuclear nightmare. For the first time in visual history, viewers were forced to graphically experience the ground-zero agonies of ordinary pegnle from nuclear war. nlike movies such as 'Wargames' and 'Missiles of October' which deal with nuclear war merely as a possibility, 'The Day After' showed the grim reality of Armageddon on 3 human 1 -,Guam fly!!-f0401'G'!

SFA's exemplary honor In a special assembly held on Dec. 7, the day officially declared Austin High Day by the City Council, students had a chance to realize the significance of the national honor received by Austin High over the summer. Distinguished guests were present to address the school, American public schools have been subject to several critical studies which often conclude that education is on the brink of or plagued with mediocrity. Mayor Mullen felt that instead of SFA declining in education, it has just gotten better, proving the possibi ities that can be achieved. Con ressman Pickle, an Austin High alumnus, was thrilled with the school's success, and he commented that he often bragfgs about SFA to his colleagues on Capital Hill. A ter thetguests spoke, Princpal Jacquelyn McGee told the students an teachers that they should have a plaque of their own because it really belonged to them. I 'J l Attendance Problems Plague AISD Basketball Games Basketball game attendance was in a depression this season. The 23 varsity boyslgirls doubleheaders etween Dec. 20 and Ian. 6 averaged only 111 fans. Only 13 district games had more than 100 people and only one ame, Crockett vs. Travis at Buager Center, had more than 250 observers. hen Burger Center drew more than 100 paying customers, it was a rare occasion. Three San Marcos-Travis games in 1983 drew tremendous crowds compared to the 1984 total. The last playoff games, after the two teams tied for the district title, drew the largest crowds ever to see a 26AAAAA game: 4,250 at San Marcos' Strahan Coliseum and 3,300 for the game played at Burger center. Those crowds were attracted by two of the top teams in the state who had battled all year for supremacy in the district. Obviously the attendance was not typical because in 1983, boys' games drew an average of only 171 fans and girls' games drew around 57. Basketball did not make money for AISD in 1984. Out of the S376,550 subside AISD gave the athletic department, 581,515 went to basketball, even when the sport was the biggest money-loser in the 11 sports that the district teams play. The estimated expenditure this year for basketball was S114,515 and its income was just 533,000 Flu Epidemic lowers School Attendance The winter in Central Texas brought with it a flu epidemic that caused one of the most serious attendance problems ever at SFA. More than 10W of Austin l-ligh's students were out of classes beginning Ian. 23 and lasting through February. Attendance clerk Bertie Owen said that a lot of students were callin in with the same symptoms, but were returning to schoofbefore they were completely well due to the attendance oli . P Scclllool nurse Sandy Vinson said that teenaglers and adults were getting sick more than elementary kids, w ich is unusual. She sent plenty of folks home until the fever had come down for twenty-four hours. Many students and teachers returned to school once they felt better, but as they gradually started fzeling worse, t ey often have contaminated others around t em. Twenty years after the Beatles marked by Maroon The innovators of the biggest musical revolution arrived in the US in February, 1964. As this twentieth anniversary was marked, many survivors of the sixties treasured the memories of the musical and societal created by the Beatles. Although young people were we l restricted in style and thought, the Beatles rock-nfroll music had a major impact on the philosophy of the youth. To the older generation the group signified an outrageous fad that would soon die out, but the young adults believed that the band was God-send, and a connecting link between past innocence of youth. During their introduction to the US, the band generated mass hysteria from screaming fans and fainting females. Later the Beatles were associated with the social revolution that emphasized the freedom to criticize social customs, exercise freedom of thought without strict moral codes and rebel against the older generation. Some lpeople say they started out as entertainers, but became the po itical mouthpieces for the youth. The sense of identification with the Beatles unified the youth, but the older generation gradually became more alienated from the misguided kids 0 the sixties.

During Andropovs final months in power, he made no public appearances, instigating rumors that he was terminally ill. Andropov, was 69 at the time of his death, seven years beyond the averatge life expectancy for Soviet males. At the age of 49, he suffere a heart attack and, like 10'Zv of people over 65, he had diabetes. The combination of cardiovascular disease and diabetes made him a victim of kidney trouble such as rep,orted when he assumed power in November, 1982. By Fe ruary, his kidney function had become so poor that he started specialized treatment on a dial sis machine, at first, two or three times a week, but eventuallyy it became every other da , The various symptoms Andropov displayed during his last appearances in public were trembling hands, uneven gait, di ficulty in getting out of his chair, and muscle weakness. Despite the complications he suffered, Soviet authorities maintained that Andropov remained mentally alert throughout the ordeal by conducting business from his bed. Even a week before his death, Soviet doctors remained publicly optimistic about his return to normal activities, but Andropov died, leaving the Soviet Union to face yet another leadership transition. Thus, Konstantin Chernenko, 72, who had been defeated by Andropov 15 months before in a similar situation, stepped into office. Andropov's rule was marked by the Soviet downing of a passenger airliner, attempts to reform the Soviet bureaucracy, and increasing hostility toward the US. The final years of Brezhnev, the short year of Andropov and the new regime headed by Chernenko were times of increasing tension between the Soviet Union and the US. Angry rhetoric was exchanged between the two countries, and the Soviets walked out of strategic arms talks in protest of American deployment of missiles in Europe. A measure of the low in Soviet-American relations was that President Reagan attended neither Brezhnev's nor Andropov's funerals, Now that Chernenko has taken office, many people believe that the Soviet Union will undergo another trauma of power change sooner rather than later. It seems that Soviet leaders have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, said SFA student, Iulie Ivy. Americans win 8 medals at winter olympic games The United States was thought to be represented by its strongest team ever for the XIV Winter Olympic games in Sarajevo. However, the Americans won on y eight medals, including four golds, but a number of U.S. athletes achieved notable, non-medal performances. The first medals to be awarded to the Americans at the games were silver, and draped around the necks of brother-and-sister figure skating pair, Kitty and Peter Carruthers, The mighty Elena Valova and Oleg Vasiliev, world champions from the U.S.S.R., won the gold medal. Following the Carruther's silver victory, Debbie Armstrong brought the U.S. its first gold medal in the giant slalom. In that same competition, Armstrong's teammates, Christin Cooper and Tamara McKinney respectively finished second and fourth. It was a stunning surprise, and it took the sting out of the first week's disappointments, including the U.S. hockey team, which lost to both Canada and Czechoslovakia and tied with Norway, and cross-country skier Bill Koch, who tied for 21st in the 30-km race. During the ski jumpin competition, American Ieff Hastings earned a fourth place wit? a 90-meterjump. Not since 1924, had an American athlete jumped in comparison with Hastings. Another unexpected finish was the our-man bobsled team which came in fifth, Nick Thometz finished fifth and fourth in the 500- and 1,000-meter races, which was better than he had figured he would do, The 15th place attained by Bonny Warner was the best ever by a U.S. woman in that sport. The real slendor of the Sarajevo Games 1? in the attainment of three men. Bill johnson won a gold me al in the downhill ski race being the first American to win a gold in that event. Twin brothers, Phil and Steve Mahre took a gold and a silver in the slalom race. The public finally could distinguish the brothers apart because Phil wore the gold and Peter wore the silver. In the last week of the Olympic games, Scott Hamilton, a three-time world champion, won the gold medal for his figure skating. Canada's Brian Orser took the silver and Iozef Sabovtchik of Czechoslovakia took the bronze. After receiving his medal, Hamilton grabbed an American flag from the audience and skated around the rink to the applause of the excited crowd. Following the U.S. figure skating ViCf02 for Hamilton, Rosalynn Sumners skated beautifully and ma e off with the silver medal. She barely lost to East German's Katarina Witt who took home the gold. Reagan calls for stronger classroom discipline ln his State of the Union Address in February, President Reagan called for reforms in discipline to fight crime in the Pl I onus ei it me miss I Beth Simpkin, freshman, performs a back dive pike at the Texas Swim Center. cartoonist for the Austin America Statesman, speaks to the Intro Reporting class Nov 14. 4 i 5 6 s s During a state board of education meeting on Sept. 10, Principal McGee receives a resolution honoring Austi High's excellence in education. public schools. Reiterated his belief that school violence is the primary obstacle to excellence in education Reagan urged a return to old fashioned discipline where school administrators have more authority to discilpline students. The President's Wor ing Group on School Discipline said that legalistic disciplinary procedures have hindered the ability of school principals to deal with behavioral problems. White House officials say that the President could challenge a Supreme Court ruling which, under the 14th Amendment, guarantees due process to students. The Court established that students facing suspension should be informed by the priority. Schools SAT scores best State and district means administrators of the charges against them, and given an opportunity to defend themselves. Principa Iacguelyn McGee said that student discipline is a lot different to ay than when Reagan and she went to school. Then, students did not have any rights and a principal did not need any kind of evidence to suspend students, McGee supports the concept of student rights, and feels that we cannot go back to the old way of school discipline because due process is necessary to be fair to students. The general public indicates a concern about discipline in the schools. The Gallup Poll has indicated for the past ten years that people chose poor school discipline over low standards and incompetent teachers as the primary reason for the downfall in public education. McGee feels that discipline is important, but academic excellence should always be first Austin High's 1983 graduates earned higher mean scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test than did other graduating seniors in the AISD, Texas, or the nation, The average mean verbal fEnglish and Grammarj score for the AISD was 444, for Texas, 4125 and for the U.S., 425. The mean verbal score for SFA graduates was 486, 22 points higher than the next district high school. The mean math score for the AISD was 489, for Texas, 453: and for the U.S., 468, SFA graduates scored 514, leading the district by 25 points. Principal Iacquelyn McGee felt that the success of the students was partial y attributed by the programs at SFA. For instance, the students at SFA are required to take four years of English to graduate instead of only three years as is the case in most high schools. The school has also maintained a 14-,am any Mm 'W ' -ef I 'om Cogdell, sophomore, Sofie Cavazos, junior, and Steve Cantu, senior join hands a final prayer of the 'ellowship of Christian Students on Nov. 29.

The number of students in school went from 86'Z1 to 96'Zv with this policy, keeping the students in school, more days, which aided in the superiority of the SAT scores. The junior counselor, Margaret Kahn, credited SFA's success on the SAT to the teachers w o believe in demanding the most from their students. Phyllis Rothgeb, English Department chair, said that Austin High has a tradition of academic excellence because the students are very well prepared, and the competition pushes the students to do their best. Break Dancers strut and twirl in new fad In a darkened downtown parking lot of the South Bronx, several youths gathered together to create the newest dance craze to hit America since rock-n-roll dancing. Break Dancing began on top of a scrap of linoleum used as a homemade dance floor when teenagers took turns strutting to the center of the dance floor to spin, flip and twist into a human pretzel. Break Dancing has spread across the nation, and its belated arrival in Austin seemed to trigger the infectious whirls and sipins to teenagers in all neighborhoods. At least a dozen break ancing groups exist in Austin, and they fold their bodies and resemb e expert contortionists in parking lots, shopping malls, skating rinks, school hallways and downtown nightclubs. A breaker can slam himse f to the ground and twirl on his head or his shoulders with his legs cutting through the air above him like helicopter blades. With speed and agility, he can reverse his moves and become an upright acrobat preparing to twist into a number of unidentifiable shapes. He can walk on his hands while his body is perpendicular to the floor. He can bend backwards and hold that position until he jumps from his hands to his feet. T e dancers have named some of their moves and maneuvers that mimic objects, such as, the scorpion, the egg roll, the helicopter and the centipede. One of the most difficult maneuvers to complete is a crab-like dance in which a dancer throws both legs over his shoulders and walks on his hands. Besides dancing in assemblies and in the school hallways, SFA breakers occasionally visit Sixth Street to embrace their audiences. Unfortunately., the Austin Police were worried about the large crowds the dancers would attract. The crowds often grew so large that pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks were blocked. The breakers were forced to move to Red River and Fifth Street for their shows. Once only the dance of the South Bronx, now the dance has elite, professional dancers that are paid to break at nightclubs and television specials. Music videos and dancing scenes from 'Flashdancef 'Footloose,' and 'Style Warsf also help spread the popularity of break dancing. Some breakers were also paid to participate in the movie, 'Breakin' or in a Michael jackson Pepsi commercial to stir up even more of the country's attention on the latest dance invention. Free-lunch privileges ceased by AISD For years, the AISD offered a free-lunch program for students whose famil incomes fall below a given mark. In February the AISID cancelled some free or reduced price lunch privileges in coordination with the federal government in order to crack down on students who get away with school lunch fraud. The AISD ceased the program for 123 students, where 103 continued to pay reduced prices and 20 were ordered to pay full rice. P Vada Bockhorn, manager of the SFA cafeteria, said that only nine students from Austin High were taken off the free lunc program and most of the students were put on the reduced- riced ro ram. About goo Sliistgdents were on the free-lunch program and the majority of those received reduced priced meals. The nine students ta en off the program neglected to submit the proper income information. If those students produced the adequate information they could return to the program within the ear. y The reason the government audited the program was to stop students from receiving free lunches when their parents were earning an income over the cut-off mark. The shidents that were taken off the rogram had either increased their family income or did not finnish income reports. Principal Iacquelyn McGee supported the government's decision in auditing the program to change any discrepancies and to save the taxpayers money. Students nabbed in radar detector thefts The Austin Police Department reported 55 burglaries of autos involving the theft of radar detectors between january and March. Because of the vast number of burglaries, the APD began extensive investigations on the stolen property which resulted in six Austin High students being accused or charged with stealing radar detectors for themselves or their friends. Most radar detectors mount on the car dash and are designed to sound an alarm when the car approaches a law officer using a radar gun to measure speed. Many students at SFA obtained these devices and owning one soon became somewhat of a fad. A law officer on duty noticed that there were a lot of radar detectors in the cars in the SFA parking lots. When he found out that the devices were traceable by recorded serial numbers, the APD started checking detectors. The first two detectors that were inspected were reported earlier as stolen. The police recovered 13 stolen devices from Austin High students who either had bought them from someone or had taken the detectors from apartment complex parking lots, the Highland Mall parking lot, West Austin homes and businesses, the University area, or along MoPac. The students that were involved with the criminal offense were subject to the consequences ofa third-degree felony. However, the students who bought the stolen merchandise were not charged if they turned the detectors over to the police, Coach Harper resigns After months of controversy over the Maroon's disqualification from the District ZGAAAAA football competition, head football coach, Bill Harper announced his resignation from Stephen F. Austin High on March 19. Harper had coached at Austin High for four years following a coaching position at Linden-Kildare Hi h, a 3A school in East Texas. The four years Harper coached hefd a record of 10-29-1, but his last 3-7 season put Harper and the Maroons in center stage. An University lnterscholastic League rule, which states no player can participate in more than one game within five calender days, was broken when Harper played two Maroons during a varsity game one night, and played the same players during a junior varsity game the very next day. Although Harper said the events in October did not play a big part in his decision to resign, both he and the football team were shrouded in controversy when Harper was placed on probation. He also received a letter of reprimand from Princpal McGee. l just thought it wasgood for me and good for Austin High, stated Coach Harper o his resignation. The AISD immediately began the process of finding a replacement for the head coaching position in hopes of receiving a new coach before spring training. Unfortunately, many of the players were very concerned about having to gain new positions and learninzg new plays with a new coach, while many players were fire up about a new coach to take charge. 1 Cheerleaders Elected Students elected cheerleaders for 1984-85 on March 21, choosing Amy Francis, Tami Johnson, Gracy Benavides, Suzanne Sculze, Kelly Weedon, Melanie Milner, Laura Williams, and Leah Martin. Before the day of the elections, all of the prospective candidates prepared an application and practiced jumps, chants, and cheers during a two week clinic. The previous cheerleaders instructed the candidates in the clinic everyday after school. On the day of the try-outs the girls were informed of which cheers and in what order they would perform. During the try-outs, each candidate was presented and then tumbled or cheered in the middle of the crowded gymnasium. The candidates then joined a group of three or four to perform two chants and a cheer. After the 21 candidates cheered with at least two other girls, the entire group of candidates joined for a final cheer. Cheerleader sponsor, Leyla Colhmia, said that being elected cheerleader carries the responsibility of setting a good example as far as leadership, high moral character, sportsmanship, willingness to follow school rules, and keeping good grades with courses. Academic Decathletes Finish Fifth in State Academic Decathlon team members overcame two disadvantages to tie for fifth among 20 schools at the April 7 competition at Highland Park High School in Dallas. Social studies and Debate coach, Dan Arnold said that SFA was given less preparation time before the competition than other opponents. Tom Prentice, journalism advisor, added that every ot er coach was paid for their extra work in directing their teams, but neither Coach Prentice nor Coach Arnold were reimbursed for conducting three months of decathlon direction. Their efforts were completely voluntary. These disadvantages discouraged SFA's expectations, but the initial team surprised the competition with their winning results. Individual winners were Andrew Chin, third overall, first in math, first in speech, second in language and literature, and third in science, Chaim Goodman-Strauss received first in math, first in science: Angie Hurst, second in slpeech, second in interview, Michelle Bourianoff, first in an uage and Iiteratureg Gretchen Myres, third in essay, and Martelle Luedecke-Klier, third in speech. Participating as alternate contestants were Evelyn Lester, Christoper Corsbie and Michael Genet. SFA led all schools through three of the ten events but fell behind on the social science and superquiz contests. Eventual winner Richardson Pearce, as well as the top five teams Houston Memorial, Highland Park, Klein Forest and Permian high schools all outscored SFA by substantial margins on the stggerquiz, an event consisted of trivia questions dating back to l 6, Decathlon coordinators repeatedly referred to their production as a contest that would stimulate academic excellence. The contest's motto upward, outward, and downward, urged contesting schools to spread the decathlon concept to higher and lower grade levels and to other states. Mondale, Hart and Jackson campaign for Demo nomination The race for Democratic presidential nominee between Sen. Gary Hart of Colorado, Rev. jesse Jackson, and former Vice-President Walter Mondale left behind yet another year of political combat throughout the United States. While the candidates strongly opposed each other's political practice and beliefs, the three presidential hopefuls developed separate identities to attract voters in their favor. Senator Gary Hart established himself as a younger American, using campaigning techniques, similar to those of Kennedy, that appealed to the youth. He created a new vision for this country's uture and Hart's new ideas that offered his policy in military spending. He felt the stress should be on how government money is spent rather than simply how much. He advocated shifting spending from complex and delicate weapons to systems that are simple and rugged. He would have taken steps to prevent the use of nuclear weapons by freezing plutonium production worldwide and negotiating a mutually verifiable freeze with the Russians. His policies on foreign affairs were cautious because he supported less interventionalism from the U.S. He opposed aid to countries which violated human ri hts such as South Africa, He did not believe the president giould cgive more aid to central America without a resolution from ongress. He also opposed the sale of AWACS to Saudi Arabia. At 47, Hart felt he had a new approach to political solutions to offer Americans, while his o ponents accused his new ideas as a program lacking sugstance. Nevertheless, Hart stood by his policies. Reverand jesse Iackson, 43, was assumed to represent certain stereotypes because he was black, a Baptist minister and a former aide to Martin Luther King, Ir. Because of his color, some people supported him, some people opposed him and some people felt wrong for opposing him simply because he was black. Since he was known for his participation in the civil rights movement, jackson was set in a position posing as a hypocrite. However, he organized People United to Save clerk, Bertielb ens erates a machine automatically dials absent students' home and unopposed forlthe 1984 elections. delivers a message informing the absence.

He preached a greater willingness to do away with the threat of nuclear war and opposed nuclear energy. He opiposed the MX missile, the B-1 Bomber, the neutron omb an the deployment of Pershing and cruise missiles in Western Europe, He supported a mutually verifiable nuclear freeze, as the other candidates did also, but he was willing to take some extra risks for peace for the world. Walter Mondale was an established Democrat that was supported by labor unions because he was determined to reduce unemployment. He stressed the importance of the cooperation o the government, business, and labor to rebuild America's basic in ustry and be able to compete with other exporting companies. He wanted to support smaller businesses because arger businesses did not need public assistance. Mondale wanted to keep America strong while ensuring that nuclear weapons were never used. He would improve conventional forces to raise nuclear threshold and stren then crisis communications to prevent the risk ot' an accifental nuclear war. Mondale also advocated a mutual and verifiable nuclear freeze and non-proliferation which would prevent other nations to gain nuclear power. While Mondale represented the image of the established Democrat who will do exactly the opposite of President Ronald Reagan, Hart was considered the leader of the youth with new perspectives on older Democratic beliefs, and jackson was considered the strongest, leader of equal rights and justice. President Ronald Reagan as the only Republican nominee, did not have to actually start his campaigning until after the Democratic nomination election was complete. However, rumored by KLBI radio news, Reagan was planning to break the tedium of boring presidential aides by using john Cougar's Pink Houses in one of his advertisements. Gary Turberville appointed new head football coach Crockett HS assistant coach Gary Turberville was appointed head football coach in late April, replacing Bill Harper, Turberville is a 16 year veteran assistant coach with ten years in AISD including six as assistant coach at Austin High until 1980. He inherits a Maroon football squad that has had five straight losing seasonsg bad publicity from last October's disqualification from the District 26AAAAA race, and an historic tradition which spans the school's 103 year history. Because Turberville was at SFA when the Maruoris won the District Championship 119785, he is familiar with the involved community that insisted on a blend of academic excellence and a fine athletic program. He acknowledged that the community was expectin him to turn things around. l did not gel like there was another high school in Austin that I wanted to be at, Turberville told the Maroon. I have taught here before and I know the quality of teachers and stu ents is high. Educationally, we are a step above the others and I wanted to be part of that again. Although other opportunities to apply for head coaching Eositions were open to Turberville, he wanted a chance to come ack to Austin High. When he did receive the head coach position at SFA, he worked the Maroons with morning and afternoon practices and the players were pressed to wear the full pad uniform during the warm month of May, I we work together, we can meet our goals,' Turberville said. Athletics is just an important part of a student's education, I want to return the athletic program to the level of our academic programs. l want a quality program, Turberville said. The layers and the assistant coaches see him as a very demandjing and knowledgeable coach. Athletic coordinator Del Moberg said of Turberville in the Austin American-Statesman that I-le's very demanding and extremely knowledgeable about the defensive aspects of the game - not that he isn't offensively - but he is a very good technician on defense. Soviets Boycott Olympics The Soviet Union announced May 8 that their team would not participate in the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, scheduled to begin july 28. The USSR accused the United tates of failing to ensure the security of Russian athletes from the possibility of defection. Security at the games had been a major issue, but the U.S. met several Soviet demands, including the right for Soviet athletes and officials to be quartered aboard a Soviet ship in the Los Angeles port and permission for charter flights from Moscow to land in Los Angeles, U.S. Federal Officials also worked closely with local law-enforcement agencies to devise additional arrangements to protect the Russians against harrassment, Even so, the Soviets felt that U.S. authorities took a cavalier attitude toward the Olympic charter and in those conditions their sportsmenlwomen would not attend the 23rd Olympiad. Observers felt the real reasons for the Soviet boycott were retaliation for the US boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics and the fear that Soviet athletes would try to defect. The Soviet announcement was made nearly a month in advance of the Iune 2 deadline for resenting formal notification of Olympic participation. This announcement raised concerns that several Eastern European nations allied with the soviet Union would also not take part in the games. 17 Florence Thompson retires Homemaking instructor, Florence Thompson retired from her career of teaching in the Texas public school system after 42 years of service. Thompson first taught in Charlotte, Texas. From there, she moved to Galena Park and taught for 5 years, and then to Austin in 1959 to teach at Lamar Junior High. In 1966, Thompson began instructing at Austin High where she became Homemaking department chairman in 1969. In 1980, she was voted Texas Vocational Homemaking Association Teacher of the year. Thompson not only was an active member of home economics organizations, but she sponsored many groups at Austin High and developed the home economics curriculum for the AISD. lt was a ve rewarding experience, Thompson explained about her teadhling career. l certainly enjoyed it! Thompson was honored with a retirement dinner in early May. Faculty members contributed to a fund which resulted in a gift to Thompson of an expense-paid trip for her and her husband to Mexico City. Courses fare cuts in district budget squeeze As a result of educational reform and district budget cuts, high school elective programs and course offerings were threatened with being dropped in fall, 1984. Austin district high schools will be required to enforce a previous rule which required classes to have an enrollment of 20 students or receive district approval for classes with fewer than 20. Assistant superintendent for secondary education, Dr. Freda Holley, announced that the administrators wanted principals to observe the rule, although the district had not targeted specific classes for cancellation. Low current and projected class sizes were in danger of cancellation. Courses which would probably not be offered as a result of the enforcement of the class-size rule included many business and vocational office education courses, industrial arts and crafts courses, English, science and social studies electives and physical education course. Currently, SFA class sizes average 20 to 23, with 145 of 335 classes instructing 19 or fewer students. Many teachers and administrators had commented that the quality of education would be a stake with such a rule. Some predicted that the proposal would result in an increase of the drop-out level, an overloading of existing equipment and supplies, the loss of federal funding and the elimination of numerous educational opportunities for students. Teacher Competency exams loom The Select Committee on Public Education recommended that all public school teachers in Texas be tested for competency, With the quality of Texas education being questioned, some thought that testing teacher proficiency and knowledge of their fields could assist in improving the state's education, The chairman of the committee, H. Ross Perot, claimed that 90 percent of the teachers are producing more than adequate work, but the remaining 10 percent could be a threat to education. However, testing is already required for those who enter universities to become teachers. A ter a teacher has completed his education and is ready to find a job in his field, yet another competency test is administered. The main issue that kept teachers underfire was whether teachers alread existing in the field should be tested. In order to single out the small percent of incompetent teachers, the committee recommended all teachers take the test. The Houston Indefpendent School District has already implemented testing or teachers in the field. Consequently, most teachers and administrators felt that evaluation and observation of a teacher's work happens everyday in the classroom and throughout the school by fellow teachers and administrators, teachers can be examined without a competency test. 1 I Board grapples with proposed school boundaries change Considerable controversy raged across Austin during the spring as the AISD school board tried to find a way to add students to LBJ High School and subtract students from Crockett Hi h School. Several pTans were proposed to change the high school attendance zones. Two of the plans involved Austin High. One of the plans was nicknamed the Student Body-Right' which would have involved the transfer ofa substantial portion of the current attendance boundaries meaning the transfer of more than 10,000 students. First of all, Austin school administrators recommended 13 .. e. Htl! li? 52 cr 52 V. gf V in i S Q X I N ,. W uw?

Most of the changes were aimed at increasing the enrollment at LBJ High in Northeast Austin. A companion plan was presented to change the busing procedures of eight elementary schools in effort to keep busingxa minimum. LBJ Hi h School ad 1,172 students, of whom 59 percent were blaci and 8 percent were Hispanic. The school was built for 2,400 students. Under the plan, LBJ would gain 248 students from Reagan, 228 from McCallum, and 225 from Travis, LBJ would send 311 students to McCallum. The ethnic composition at LBJ would shift to 38 percent black, 12 percent Hispanic, and 50 percent Anglo. The enrollment would grow to 1,562. To provide relief for the overcrowding of Crockett High School, administrators recommended the transfer of 196 Crockett students to Austin High School. Crockett High had 2,796 students enrolled. An additional 116 Lanier students would also be bused to Reagan High. In exchange for the busing to new high schools, the district offered to keep students at their neighborhood elementary schools to relieve the overcrowding problems in northeast Austin. A week following the school district's first boundary changingxproposal, the administrators presented the student body-rig t or bump around busing plan that called for the redrawing of all junior and senior attendance boundary lines, which would have caused 10,000 students to change schools. This plan would have affected all senior and junior highs and included the closing of two junior highs. The plan would have shifted the current student bodies right - for instance, Austin High would have attended MacCallum5 MacCallum would Eve attended Anderson, Anderson would have attended nier, etc, Under the plan, LBJ enrollment would increase to 1,562, but would bring Anglo enrollment up to 50 percent. About one-quarter of the LBJ student body would be sent to McCallum High. In return, 228 McCallum students would be swappedhto LEJ. This was designed to provide ethnic balance among t e sc oo s, These proposed boundary chan es in Austin received hostile receptions from crowds numbering from 700 to 1,000 people in McCallum Hi h and LBJ High the nights following the annnouncement of Sie proposal. During the meetings, the board members explained that the plan was only one of the many proposed to secure district busing plans, but the opposed crowd continued to argue against the proposal. The bump around' plan died on May 14 when school tnistees voted unanimously against changing high school attendance boundaries in any way. In hopes of increasing LBJ attendance, the administration agreed to convert LBJ High School into a ma net school for science and high-tech courses. This plan would iecome effective with the 1985-86 school year is-new any .., ff ci X M.1x..?,J www!! ,, ldv, f . af si 4 'vi Austin State Senator Lloyd Doggett defeats Congressman Bob Krueger for place in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senator. g is 'jjj www., s E7 A, .

Perot Committee completes studyg issues report for reform After nine months of intensive study of Texas schools, the Select Committee on Public Education presented preliminary recommendations for changes in Texas education in late March. Gov. Mark White appointed H. Ross Perot of Dallas to chair a 19 member committee to study schools throughout the state to expose weaknesses in Texas education and to offer solutions. The committee was formed in july, 1983, when the Texas Legislature failed to agree on a teacher pay raise. Because Texas ranked among the bottom ten states in academic achievement, the committee recommended cutting out wasteful spending in non-academic areas such as extraecurricular activities. Throughout the nine months, Perot constantly criticized the role of extraecurricular activities in Texas schools. Consequently, the Select Committee wanted to establish a proper balance between school activities and academics. The Select Committee recommended: - Limiting the number of classroom absences for academic activities to ten per school year. - Eliminating extracurricular activities during final examinations week. - Requiring all students involved in extracurricular activities to have a passing average of 70 in all subjects. - Keeping Monday through Thursday nights free for homework and studv. Will Davis, a member of both the Select Committee and the state Board of Education, said that there were too many loopholes in the educational system because the state allowed local school boards to determine the role of extra-curriculars. The committee saw lengthening classroom time as a fair way to put extracurriculars in the proper perspective. Lengthening the school year and school day was one way to make up for the time lost to extracurricular activities. The Select Committee's recommendations included: - Requiring a seven hour academic day for all students from prekindergarten through high school. An olptional two hour period would be set aside or extracurricu ar activities and tutorial assistance. - Increasing the school year from the current 175 day requirement to a minimum of 185 days of instruction beginning the Tuesday after Labor Day. - Conducting a study of the feasibility of a 220 day school ear. y Among the advocates of the longer school day was Principal Iacqpelyn McGee. She believed that extended classtime would be eneficial to students because they would have more oppotunities to participate in extracurricular activities and e ectives. One of the subcommittees to the Select Committee had originally suggested a nine-hour school day, but the proposa drew criticism from the State Board of Education. The Select Committee compromised by suggesting a seven hour school day plus an optional two period for special activities. Although the Select Committee was originally formed to address the problem of teacher's pay, the problem did not meet a solution. Several proposals were considered to restore professionalism to the teaching world, but a specific pay raise plan was not cited, The committee did establish a teacher career ladder in which outstanding teachers receive extra compensation for their performance. According to this plan, teachers would progress through four levels. Criteria for advancement on the career ladder would include recommendations from a team of administrators, the amount of teaching experience, completion of advanced course work in their fields and satisfactory scores on the teacher competency tests. The committee recommended: - Establishing a beginning salary for teachers at no less than 51,520 per month. - Requiring all teachers employed by the state to pass a basic literary test administered by the Texas Education Agency. Any teacher who fails the test will be prohibited from teaching until an acceptable score is achieved, - Establishing a merit-based scholarshipffellowship loan program to attract the brightest high school graduates to college education schools and to the teaching field. - Reqxuiring potential teachers to complete one year of interns ip supervised by an experienced teacher. The internship would be preceeded by a term of student teaching. The availability of state funding would determine whether the teacher pay raise or the other educational reforms would be passed by the Legislature. State Comptroller Bob Bullock, who serves on the Select Committee, estimated that all of the recommendations would cost S19 billion over a five year period, He projected the first vear of implementing the reforms at 52,6 billion. The Legislature only expected to approve Sl billion for the first vear. ' The financial burden of Texas education is primarily carried by the local taxpayers, The revenue needed to fund education programs will most likely come from a one cent increase on sales tax and higher sin taxes on cigarettes and liquor. The committee expected to retain most of its plan, including - Estab ishing a nine member State Board of Education that is appointed by the governor, rather than elected by Texas voters. - Limiting waste and duplication in vocational programs. Vocational teachers would be required to teach other non-vocational courses. A minimum of 20 students would be required to sustain vocational programs. - Placing the University Interscholastic League CUILJ under supervision of the State Board of Education instead of the University of Texas. The Board would appoint the members of the UIL State Executive Committee in order to have more state control over extracurricular activities. District adopts new graduation requirements Beginning next fall, incoming freshmen will be required to take an extra year of English and math as well as an economics course. Currently, the state core curriculum required 18 credits for graduation, including three years of English and two years of math. However, the AISD has required 21 credits but with the same number of years of English and math as the state. Now, as a result of curriculum reforms implemented by the State Board of Education under House Bill 246, the entire state will offer three graduation plans - Ceneral!Vocational which requires 21 credits for graduation, academic which requires 22 credits, and academic honors which also requires 22 but designated specific electives. All plans require four years of Eng ish, more math and science and fewer electives. The new plan will affect 1984 incoming freshman only. The new graduation plans resulted from the Texas Education Agency's KTEAH revision of the state core curriculum. Two years ago, the 67th Legislature passed a bill mandating that the TEA study what needed to be revised. In the conclusion of the study, TEA decided that if the high school graduation requirements were raised, lower test score problems could possibly be solved and graduates going to college or work would be more prepared due to a higher academic senior year. Princpal jacquelyn McGee said that in spite of the AlSD's math and English requirements, Austin High already strongly suggests three years of math and requires four years of English. The Honors Graduation Program also requires four years of English and three of math, but it surpasses the total number of credits suggested with 24 credits needed for graduation. Therefore, even with the state raising its requirements for graduation, no major changes would not occur at Austin High except the addition of an economics course for the class of 1987. i I9 l l Excellence ln Education Stephen F. Austin High named outstanding secondary school in U.5 n the south lawn of the White House on Sept. 28, the President of the United States conducted a ceremony honoring outstanding secondary schools in the nation. Instead of sitting at her desk, shuffling through routine paper work and supervising Austin High, Principal Iacquelyn McGee joined President Reagan and 139 principals of exemplary junior and senior high schools at that White House recognition ceremony. She was there because Stephen F. Austin High School was one of the high schools honored. It has been named exemplary by the U.S. Department of Education. Since Austin High was one of the only two schools in Texas and one of the 80 schools in the nation which received the honor, the school received an Excellence in Education banner from the President. It's a real honor, said Principal Iacquelyn McGee. It means that someone out there thinks we're doing a good job! The honor was part of the Secondary School Recognition Program initiated in january, 1983, by U.S. Secretary of Education, T.H. Bell. The final 80 schools were chosen for their work to overcome obstacles, improvements in education, and ability to maintain high educational standards. The honors graduation plan and the attendance policy are examples of steps SFA piloted to initiate better education. We place a strong emphasis on learning and try to do all of those things which, research indicates makes a difference in learning, McGee said. he recognition process began in the spring of 1983, when the Chief Education officers of each of the 50 states were asked to nominate junior highs and five high schools for the program. Austin High School and Churchill High School in San Antonio, were among the schools chosen from Texas by Raymon Bynum, the State Commissioner of Education. By March, 1983, 396 schools had been nominated. These nominees were reviewed by 15 member panels composed of parents, community leaders, and distinguished educators. During the second meeting of these panels, the list was narrowed down to 198 schools. These 198 schools were then visited by 27 educational experts from outside the federal government. Dr. O.L. Davis, Professor of curriculum and Instruction at the College of Education at U.T., visited Austin High. My role was to visit the school and examine it against a set of criteria that the national committee had developed, explained Davis. I found that Austin High met each of the 14 characteristics of an exemplary school. In evaluating the school, Davis considered these 14 characteristics: 1. Clear academic and behavior goals 2. High expectations for students 3. Order and discipline 4. Teacher leadership qualities 5. Rewards and incentives for teachers and students By Melanie DuPuy 6. Positive school environment 7. Administrative leadership 8. Community support 9. Extent of concentration on academic learning time 10. Frequent and monitored homework ll. Regular and frequent monitoring of student progress 12. Well-structured curriculum 13. Variety of teaching strategies 14. Opportunities for student responsibilities Davis said he was mainly impressed with the leadership qualities of the teachers and admin- istrators. He noted that there seemed to be good relations between them and the students. McGee agreed that the teachers are not only strong in their subject areas, but also responsive to student needs and are willing to help them. As evidence of that, Davis pointed to the school's student publications, an area quoted in the national Kiplinger magazine Changing Times lt's a real honor. It means someone out there thinks we 're doing a good job! -Jacquelyn McGee in April 1984. The article, called Good Schools and How They Got That Way tells of Austin High: I I ree, responsible and tough-minded was a visitor's description of the student newspaper at Austin High on the banks of the Colorado River just a mile downtown. When the paper take issue with school administration policies, school officials take it in stride, applying the same philosophy to divergent opinions that they do the school's mix of ethnic and economic backgrounds. 'We find strength in diversity,' Principal jacquelyn McGee explains. 'We are proud of it. We do not try to make everyone over in a single mold, but we do try to make everyone stretch somewhatf Austin high is unique because it incorporates the best attributes, the wide range of personal interests, and the tastes and intellects of the student body, faculty, and staff, said drama instructor, Larry Preas. I believe the institution and its population take seriously the message 'Everyone is Someone at Austin High' and extends that to mean that everyone has something good to offer. This school engenders a genuine pride in its significant century of accomplisment and develops in its staff and student body a determination to strive for more excellence. On the criteria of order and discipline, Davis said, There appears to be a fair development of fair rules and fair administration of those rules. He liked the fact that everyone, including parents and teachers, participated in the developing and planning of the school rules. Austin High provides opportunities for all level students and for students of varying interests, noted Mary Ruiz, home economics teacher. Davis added that Austin High has a sound program of course offerings and very fine school organizations. Another characteristic was the amount of rewards and incentives for teachers and students. Davis said that the school seemed to be proud of its award winners and recognized their achievements. Although there are many things which contribute to academic excellence at Austin High, the one I would like to highlight is leadership of the students and their teachers. Having a principal who is intelligent, well-educated, and well informed in the management and operation of an educational program has been important to staff and student performance and achievement, commented science teacher, Elizabeth Essary. ach nominated school also has to complete an extensive questionnaire or self-evaluation con- tract about the school's percentage of students who go on to attend college or some other form of post-secondary educationg percentage of students receiving scholarshipsg percentage of students who are successful in academically oriented competitions, dropout rates, and student performance on standardized tests. Davis found that SFA test scores were clearly above average for the state, and the dropout rates were low. Government teacher, Brian Schenk added, Austin High feels good. A person gets a special good feeing here. It's a good place to be. There is real truth behind the 'Everybody is Somebody' slogan. Hovering over your shoulder is the tradition of excellence built over more than a century. It's a place where people are expected to perform, to excel, to develop. It's a part of the landscape. In a special assembly held on Dec, 7, officially declared Austin High Day by the City Council, SFA students clearly realized that their school was an outstanding educational institution. You are purely and simply the very best in the nation, said Hunter Harrison, special counsel to the Secretary of Education T.H. Bell. The entire audience responded in a standing ovation as Harrison presented a plaque to Principal ,lacquelyn McGee in recognition of a commitment to academic excellence. The award was given in behalf of the President of the United States and U.S. Secretary of Education Terrel Bell. I wish every student could have his own copy of this plaque, said McGee upon receiving the award. It really belongs to you. ongressman 1.1. lake Pickle, Mayor Ron Mullen, and AISD School Board President Ed Small attended the assembly. Instead of declining, Austin High has gotten better, said Mayor Mullen who added that SFA, Demonstrated the possibilities can be achieved. I am proud to be back at my old school, remarked Congressman Pickle. l often brag about SFA to my colleagues on Capitol Hill. .20-S44:14n 8 School QMEWMM , ,ul .gf ,, fr fe sw'-22 'er the White House, President congratulates Ei r it I vw, ,i,, . ,-, I we -e'f wucomz T0 ee s STEPHEN E AUSTIN new sm-soot.

Dedication Dayg Spring Thing end school year by Ned Sherman edication Day, the an- nual ceremony honoring the opening of Austin High's lake front campus, and Spring Thing, the annual half-day carnivalffestival, were both held Friday, May 4. Dedication On May 2, 1976 the lake front campus was opened, and since then a ceremony is held as close to May 2 as possible each year. The ceremony honored distin- guished alumni and graduates, and inducted the 1984 Maroon Society members. The two Honored Faculty recipients were Elton Toney Burger and Mable Pitts. Burger was the head baseball and basketball coach from 1938-1953. Pitts was a teacher and director of the Austin High Child Development Lab from 1949-1972. Two outstanding graduates from SFA were honored as Distinguished Alumni. They were Robert Evart Shelby and john Henry Faulk. Shelby graduated from SFA in 1923 and was one of the earliest Ham radio operators in central Texas. He helped in the refinement of the color compatable television system made by RCA, this was to later become the world standard for television broadcasting. Shelby passed away at the age of 49, but his brother was present to accept the award. Faulk graduated in 1932, and became known for his struggle over freedom of speech. In the mid 50's, Faulk was an important force in the fight against McCarthyism. In 1980 he was awarded the james Madison First Amendment Award in honor of his battle to protect freedom of speech. lnductees to the 1984 Maroon Society were seniors Charles Moody, lody Hart, and Michelle Bouranoff, Spring Thing It was a perfect day for Spring Thing. At 2:00 students were let out of class and the festivities began, Admission was 75 cents. The booths were all lined up along the south side of the school, There was a wide variety of food to please almost everyone. There was ice cream, snowcones, nachos, hotdogs, cupcakes, brownies, homemade cookies, sopapillas, and fajitas. If you were in the mood for crazy fun there was the legs contest, a dart throw, a sponge throw, a pie throw, a car show, face painting, a chili cookoff, Spring Follies, and the candy drop from a helicopter. For those athletic people, there was a fun run, a tug-o-war, and the softball final between the Iunior and Sophomore classes, The juniors won. .23 Fashions at Austin High show diversity - By Ned Sherman lthough remaining di- verse, the fashions at Austin High were more casual this year. Some of the more popular styles were colored sneakers, haircuts with tails in the back, and Levi's 501 button up blue-jeans. While preppies and punks remained noticeable, a more casual and laid back look became common. Girls often wore blue-jeans or pants, thongs or tennis shoes, and a T-shirt. Sweats were also a regular occurance on girls. Boys lounged around in tennis shoes or vans, a T-shirt, and blue-jeans. As the school year grew closer to an end, shorts became a popular item with both boys and girls. The preppy boys often sported penny loafers, top siders, Izod shirts,and slacks,buttennis shoes and Boast shirts accompanied by Levi's 501 button up blue-jeans often took the place of the traditional preppy look. Mexican dresses remained in among preppy girls. Thong and blue-jeans often combined with an Izod or Polo shirt to create a more casual preppy look. Dyed hair, shaved heads, long hair, and spikes distinguished the more rebellious members of the student body. They often donned leather jackets, spiked arm bands, chains and belts, and combat boots. Girls and boys had ears pierced. Elaborate earrings often hung from the ear lobes of boys and girls. Ceramic, plactic, silver, and gold were predominant types. Plastic spiders often dangled from the ears of the more rebellious girls. Necklaces, chains, and bracelets were also popular among boys and girls. Many students preferred to wear concert T-shirts, especially the day after a show at the Special Event Center or Municipal Auditorium. Popular T-shirts were ZZ Top, The Police, Stray Cats, Michael jackson, Ozzy Osborne, Van Halen, Iudas Priest, The GoGos, and Huey Lewis. 1f s1g,. fs-me . ' Kress? ,. . ..., ..

Q, 1 xi xv-ww S mm .25 Music provides an escape for SFA students ntertainment is the one ele- ment in life which is a diversion from the pressures of school. It is amusing and allows the student to let loose and relax. Perhaps the most popular form of entertainment among high school students is music. Listening to your favorite music,whether its live or not,will always make you feel better. There is nothing like coming home from a long day at school and putting on that great album. While a favorite album can provide an emotional lift, nothing can beat a concert at one of Austin's clubs or auditoriums. Some of the bands rocking Austin's hot spots this year were ZZ Top, The Police, Robert Plant, joe King Carrasco, Ioe Ely, The Big Boys, jimmy Buffet, jerry Ieff Walker, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Cool and The Gang. Austin is fast becoming one of the top entertainment cities in the United States with the rise of stars like Ioe King and joe Ely, The new Joe Ely Album Hi Res is sure to be a hit with singles like Shakin' the Night and Lipstick in the Night , Ely began a tour of the U.S. with The Clash in May. Austin has been a well-known music I was very surprised to hear we had been nominated. I mean, my record up against Gatemouth Brown and B.B. King. - Stevie Ray Vaughan city for many years. When the Kinks went on tour in 1982, they played in only two places in the US., one of them being Austin. Stevie Ray Vaughan brought recog- nition to Austin when he was nominated for a Grammy. He received the honor in the traditional blues category for Texas Flood. He lost to B.B. King's Blues 'n jazz. Vaughan said, I was very surprised to hear we had been nominated. l mean, my record up against Gatemouth Brown and B.B. King. No matter what type of music you like, from Punk to Disco, you can find in Austin which plays your styles. Music gives us an opportunity to get away from the tests and deadlines which we face duringthe school week. Right, Whitney Ayres' popular Lucky comic strip featured the Great Frito Pie Massacre .

Lynette Cano has been to many rodeo's, but usually shedidn'tsitinthestands.Instead she sat on a horse. Lynette is from West Texas, and lived there most of her youth. She began riding atayoungage.Ifyou ask her why she started riding she'll say, There are not many sports in West Texas, besides football or baseball. When Lynette rode in rodeos she competed in both barrel racing, and roping. Lynette is still competing, but not on a horse. Instead, now she is competing on a track. Lynette began running when she was in sixth grade, she is now a long distance runner at Austin High. She competed in the regionals in 1982 and 83. Lynette is active in another school related activity, Health Occupations, She works at a veterinary clinic. This job keeps Lynette so busy that it enables her to work out with the track team instead, she uses the discipline learned from riding in rodeos, and she works out alone. Lynette doesn't mind the pressures of having a job because working at the veterinary clinic brings her closer to the animals she has always loved. -Charlotte Hoover Allison finds lison Packwood finds de- bate to be a big challenge and a lot of fun. She first got interested when she was a freshman and went to a summer camp in Baylor, which helped her to learn the basics of debate. Debate takes up a lot of time and effort. I have to discipline myself to do the research it requires Alison said. Last year Alison was president of the debate team. She and her partner placed second attheU.I.L. competition for district, and for the Novice division in Baylor. She has also received trophies for the Novice division. debate challenging This year she is assistant tournament director, and ser- geant at arms. Alison is a quiet, hard working student. She brought many people into debate, and is one of our top debators. She always gets the job done , said Mr. Arnold debate instructor. I like the competition and the debate rounds, Alison said. It's fun to get up there and compete. All the hard work is payed off by the challenges. Alison says she goes to a tournament at least once a month to compete. It's a valuable experience to be in debate she said. I think I'll proceed into foreign languages in college. I'm interested in foreign relations and different cultures, being in that ought to help me get a job in the long run she said. Alison is looking forward to the U.I.L. competitions this Iyear. I THINK we are capable o at least second or third place she said. I am not yet concerned with future goals, but as for immediate goals, I hope to successfully graduate from high school and move on to college . . . -Debby Dodds Bryant earns top position on SFA tennis team hree years ago when senior Bryant Nelson tried out for the tennis team as a sophomore and didn't make it, he never expected to be in the position he is in now. Out of twelve people, Bryant heldthefourthspotontheVarsity Tennis Team in December, 1983. Because the top six players are chosen to compete in tour- naments, Bryant is also able to enjoy traveling to many cities throughout Texas. I enjoy traveling. By playing tennisl have been able to travel to almost every major city in Texas to compete in Tournaments. In the past two years of his playing Bryant says that he has won over 25 trophies, his most acclaimed victory being when he advanced to semi-finals in Lubbock in a Major-zone District Tournament. Whenaskedwhathedoeswhen not playing tennis, Bryant re- sponded, I'm almost always playing tennis. I spend anywhere between two and three hours a day, and usually more on weekends. Although Bryant spends a great deal of his time on tennis, he still excels academically, as indicated by his impressive 93.0 grade point average. Part of this can be accounted for by his easy understanding of learning material. I study regularly but I don't really have to get down in the books to understand it. Once out of high school Bryant planned to attend either the University of Texas or Trinity University in San Antonio. At college he intends to study chemistry in hopes of someday becoming a Research Chemist, and later in his junior year possibly try out for the tennis team. I'm really interested in chemistry. I want to discover and work in a lab . . . possibly because my dad was a chemist. Much of the reason for Bryant's success in academics as well as athletics can probably be at- tributed to his quiet, competent, and composed personality. He'srealeasytogetalongwith and easy to talk to. He always seems to understand what you're saying, and really takes interest in you, said close friend and tennis companion, Diana Dopson. -David Tasch 3.2-4 David enjoys Debate avid Thomas Watkins is rather tall and lanky, and is like most freshmen except for the fact that he is very eager and talented in debate. I like debate because it is very interesting, and I think it teaches you many skills that can be valuable in later life, David said. What David Watkins does in debate is rather different than most after-school activities. In debate you must participate in class and after school. In a debate, one individual or team takes the affirmative side and another person or team takes the negative. People on the affirmative team present cases, changes in the presentsystem,andsupportthem against people on the negative team who try to reason why the cases are not legitimate, David explained. One of the hardest parts in debate, David said, is being on the affirmative team. Being on the affirmative team is difficult because you have to write cases. They take a long time to write because you need many quotes, and a lot of proof. We usually work on writing cases after school at. U.T. Dan Arnold, the debate coach, says that, David is an excep- tional debater. It is very hard to find a freshman who has the potential and talent David displays. I think if he sticks with debate, in a short time he could become one of the top debaters in the state. David obtained a transfer from Crockett to Austin High before his freshman year because he had heard good things about it from his friends. I'm real pleased to be a student at Austin High, and I'm sure I'll get a better education at Austin High than any other school in Austin. Other than debate, David also enjoys Honors Geography taught by Cathy Martin, and tennis which is his P.E. elective. - David Rothgeb Dan works on bicycles f f 've always been interested in mechanical stuff, said Dan Coulbourn, sophomore, which probably explains his strong interest in bicycles. Riding bicycles is my main hobby, said Dan, and always has been since I was little. Out of the three bicycles he owns, his unicycle, which he has had for three years now, is probably his favorite. I It's the most fun to ride. Sometimes I ride it in parades such as the Aquafest, said Dan, Last year I took my unicycle to school and rode it through the commons area. But I got in trouble for it. Dan gets out of school at one p.m. everyday and works at a repair shop called Bicyclery. There I work as a mechanic and repair things, he said, Sometimes I build frames for new bikes there, too. Dan has two brothers who have both graduated from Austin High and are now attending college. When I finish high school, I won't go to college. Instead, I plan to work, said Dan. I'm not sure what kind of job I want. Possibly, I'll work as a public servant. But whatever it will be, I hope it won't be too strenuous for me. Another one of Dan's interests is music. I like experimental music, such as the groups Public Image Limited and Throbbing Grissle, and also classical music, said Dan. When asked his opinion about nuclear weapons, Dan said, I think we should get rid of them. It's a waste of time and money. If there was a nuclear war, no survivors would exist. - Elizabeth Tilley Becky likes tennis, watersknng, art unior Becky Youman is definitely one of the most talented persons at Austin High. In her three years at SFA, Becky has combined a 97 grade point average with outstanding tennis playing ability. Tennis has always been a big part of Becky's life.

They won first place in the Victoria tournament, and first place in the district doubles tournament. Becky hopes to win lst or 2nd place in the regionals and then go on to play in state competition.

Born in Austin, Darrell spends most of his time playing basketball. I first started with a group of friends in junior high. After that I guess I just fell in love with the sport and so I continued playing basketball, said Darrell. As point guard on the SFA Varsity basketball team, he works hard. His practice schedule runs everyday after school for two hours and then on Saturdays from one to five p.m. I don't really like having to practice all of the time, Darrell said, At times I think it's unnecessary. But with all of this hard work I know we deserve to get at least first or second in District. With all of the dedicated work in basketball, it must be hard for Darrell to study or take time off. He explains, So far my grades haven't been falling. I mostly get A's or Bs on my report cards. My favorite, besides basketball, is mathematics. Whenever I have time off from basketball practices and schoolwork, I usually relax, watch the football games on T.V., or listen to soulfrock music. For four years Darrell has been playingandaftergraduating from high school he plans to continue basketball in college. Right now I'm not really sure what college I want to go to. I'm considering North Carolina State University. But whatever college I decide to go to, it will be out of state, Darrell said. As his last remark, Darrell concluded, After I resolve from my basketball career, I'll begin a new life and my living by starting some kind of construction business. -Elizabeth Tilley Hard work enior Steve Cantu is easily recognizable in the halls since he wears his burnt orange, University of Texas baseball cap, which exemplifies one of his true loves, baseball.

Iam also very close to my family and like to spend much of my free time doing things with them, he said. After graduating from Austin High Steve hopes to play baseball in college. I would love to play college baseball but if that's not possible I plan to bear down on my studies and consider an education in business, Steve said.

All of my heroes are actors or actresses. Mike has been involved in the Red Dragons, fthe drama clubj, for four years, acting in The Hobbit, Plaza Sweet, and I Remember Mama. In 'The Hobbit,' I liked Golum the best because he was the craziest character in the whole play. In 'I Remember Mama,' I liked meeting and working with all the new drama students, Mike said. I enjoy acting because it gives me a chance to express myselfg It's really a lot of fun, he said. To succeed in drama you must believe in yourself and go out for everything, he explained. Mike is very talented, said Larry Preas, Drama teacher, he has a good chance of becoming successful, towards an After graduating, Mike plans to attend college, hopefully in New York and then, if I'm lucky, go on to Broadway and Holly- wood as an actor, he said.

I listen to motion picture soundtracks and enjoy watching weird or scarry movies,' he said. He also spends a lot of time at the school library. It's a pleasure to have Mike working in the library, said Kay Braziel, librarian. He's coopera- tive and always willing to do what needs to be done.

There he placed fourth but missed going to the Midwestern Championships by a spot. Although Damon has accumulated countless numbers of trophies and ribbons he explains that they are a result of many hard hours spent on the rink. During school I wake up at 4 o'clock every morning and skate from five until second period and then sometimes again after school. Over the summer I also skate from five till about noon. When asked if it is worth it, Damon responded, Oh yes it's worth it although I really don't know why . . . I hate getting up every morning at 4 o'clock especially when I have a bad day, but I definitely think it is worth it. Although Damon spends anywhere from 20 to 30 hours a week fnot including traveling timej he still manages to sustain a impressive 94 grade point average. Once out of high school Damon plans to attend college at possibly SMU or Stanford and the maybe become a doctor or a chemist and coach skating in his spare time. -David Tasch 4 Planes interest Jason ason Saunders is a 15 year old boy with an interesting past and a promising future. He lived in Iran until he was four and since then he has lived in three other countries - Libya, Norway, and England before returning to the US, where he plans to live permanently.

Saunders not only has an interesting background and promising future but also an active life now. He has many entertaining and fascinating hobbies. I like designing aircrafts, I like any kind of aircraft, Saunders explained. He goes to some extent to keep up with this obsession with flying, I like to go out to Bergstrom and fly the simulstors. Simulators are aircrafts on the ground that have the same instruments as a real aircraft. They are called this because they simulate an aircraft in flight. These aircrafts are really Ia- son's main hobby but he enjoys many other things too. Horror movies, books, and television, like most all other kids do. -Ann Powers 35 Cara promotes spirit 6 l enjoy making other people laugh and smile the most, said Cara Briggs, senior, because it really pleases me to see them happy. Cara is very active in Austin High activities. She is a cheerleader, model for Foley's, president of Texas Association of Minority Engineering!fTAMEj, and secretary and treasurer of Office Education Association, QOEAJ, and was in fact the only Austin High student to make it to nationals in OEA. But cheer- leading takes up most of her time. Cheerleading is not just gymnastics, it's your personality, determination to do well, and loyalt to your school. I'm a cheerfeader because I love Austin High and that's the best way I could express it, she said. Leyla Cohlmia, cheerleader director, said, Cara is an excellent cheerleader, her tech- nical ability is good and she is superior in choreographed cheers and dances. Besides cheerleading Cara en- joys acting, singing and danc- ing I love performing and hope to sing at cultural events and showcases. I think I'm pretty well rounded in all of the performing arts, she said. After graduating Cara plans to attend college and study com- munications and international relations. Cara enjoys being a friend to everyone. Everyone needs friends, you need people to listen to you and be loyal, she said. Cohlmia, described Lara as, everyone's friend. She does not want to associate with any one crowd. She is a member of every crowd. Cara is a good person because she cares about people. she gives of herself because she loves to give. Cara enjoys everything from academics to acting and strives to be the best she can. Cara is extremely responsible and ma- ture, she has the ability to express herself and always works to be the best, said Cohlmia. -Reid Wittliff - WA, --J 'Wadpillf Tom acts through Debate I I have always wanted to be an actor, but I was never good enough, being in Debate is my way of being an actor, explained Thomas Selby, junior, Debate Club president, and former journalism student, when asked what provoked him to become a debator. Thomas first became interested in journalism and debate when his older brother, Gardner, told him that they were some fun things to get involved with. As Thomas became more and more involved with his role in debate he retired his participation in journalism. Debating takes up a lot of time in my life, I spend anywhere from 15 to 20 hours a week researching the current debate topic. Selby explained that basically the Debate Club researches the current debate topic, ffor example, it is currently Criminal Iusticel and then they go to tournaments and argue. In a tournament one team is chosen to take either the affirmative or the negative side. Then the first speaker defines the area of discussion. Then from then on they argue and finally a judge ranks the speakers and decides which team wins the argument, stated Tom. Besides enjoying it, Tom's involvement with the debate club will also benefit him in the future. Once out of high school Thomas plans to attend college, possibly U.T. U.T. is definitely on my mind, but I would like to go to the Northeast or West for my undergrad work . After college Thomas says he wants to become a lawyer and practice here in Texas, preferably in the field of Criminal Justice. Thomas says he enjoys living in Austin, which he describes as probably one of the best cities in the world , and also in his spare time, listening to a wide variety of music. I listen to about anything other than ACID rock , although he added that he does like Hard rock. During the summer Thomas finds equal pleasure in swimming and sometimes traveling, although debate is still on his mind. Over the summer I usually go to Debate Camp and spend a lot of time preparing for next year's debate topic. -David Tasch Noah displays his dedication to band and studies ne of the most talented freshmen who entered Austin High in 1983 is Noah Longly. Noah has one of the top five grade point averages in the freshman class. But besides being one of the top freshman students in Austin High, he is also talented in other areas. One area is playing the trumpet in the band. Noah, who is All-District, Region and has qualified for Area, is a very hard worker who is dedicated to anything he wants to pursue in band or outside band. He is also well liked by his peers in the band and was elected president of the freshman band class. As president, he was responsible for assigning duties during and after the football season, and he was always there when you needed him. Rosendo Sanchez, the band director, said that, Noah is a very extraordinary band member who does not go halfway. I've only known the serious side of Noah. He's so busy and outgoin it's hard to pin im down to taIk. As for Noah's future, Sanchez states that, I haven't been able to realize his future. He spends so much time on his trumpet and computer, I believe he can be whatever he wants. Noah also composes music on his computer by using a program which enables im to make tones on his computer's keyboard. He usually creates backup music on the computer while playing his trumpet as the lead instrument. Sanchez, who heard Noah's composition while Noah was in 8th grade at O. Henry, said that They were very exceptional. As ed to describe himself, he says, I wouldn't, because it would be too subjective to be valuable as observation. Other than band, states Noah, I don't have any other after school activities because my remaining free time is filled with school work and my hobbies. Other than band, computers, and an ensemble or two with brass players, I also enjoy science fiction, my coin collection, and math reading. I've also been trying to finish Godel, Esden, and Bach for about a year now, but it's a lot of fun. Noah says that he has no favorite teacher because The teachers are extremely good at what they do. What they do is a heterogeneous collection, how- ever, and their respective fields are so different that it is impossible to effectively compare them. As for future students coming to Austin High, Noah says that you need to Be willing to work and think. They are the necessities to be successful at Austin High. -David Rothgeb 36-aeaiwwi Red Jackets keep Tina busy f you have ever seen the Red jackets perform, chances are that you noticed the little girl leading the dance troupe on and off the field. Her name is Tina Thomas, she is a bubbly, energetic girl, who stands about five feet tall. Tina is the shortest Red jacket. You would think that being short would provide many disadvantages,butwhenTinawas asked of the disadvantages of being the shortest Red jacket, Tina's reply was, I can't think of any. Tina could, although, think ofa few advantages, I get special privileges, like leading on and off the field. I like that. Tina claims that being on the end of the Red jacket line is, Better thanbeing anyplace else. When asked why she felt it was better to be on the end, Tina giggled and said, It's more fun, besides, more people notice me. Tina said that a few people tease her about her height, but as she stated, I know that they are only joking. Tina finds her work with the Red jackets very enjoyable and sometimes even funny, like the time it rained the day of the game and the field was muddy, we were supposed to do a chair routine and I almost slipped and fell. I was so embarrassed. -Charlotte Hoover N -Q-..-. Martha purs artha Rae Felts fRaeJ hopes she is on her way to a singing career. I've been singing since I was really young like 8 or 9, it's a lifetime goal, she says. Rae sings for Chorale, Madrigals, Stageband, and is also a singer for a teenage rock group called Awall , which is a half pop rock, half heavy metal band she exjplained. I on't like to sing heavy metal, she says, I mostly enjoy singing pop music such as Quarterflash, Olivia Newton john, and my idol, Pat Benatarf' PeteMoreno,junior,whoisalso a member of Awall said Rae can ues a singing career sing exactly like Pat Benatarf' Rae was chosen for district choir two years in a row, and has sung in many musicals such as Guys and Dolls, and The Cabaret show. Her biggest challenge she says, is try-outs for district and region choir. Despite the competition, Rae made 19 out of 60 altos for district choir, and 21 out of 40 for region choir. I like to sing individually and with the choir. I like the type of music we sing, she said. Rae takes private voice lessons and has learned to sing in other languages. Hlsingbecauselloveto singand to have the satisfaction of people enjoying it she said. Raeworks hard atbeingagood singer, she not only has a good voice, but is also an intelligent singer said choir director Miss Cynthia Couch. Rae wants to major in music and hopes to become a professional singer. If that doesn't work she wants to teach voice or direct choir. I hope to start as a back up singer and work my way up to the top Rae said, because singing is a big part of my life! -Debby Dodds Debate interests Andrea ndrea Katz, daughter of the owners of Katz Deli on Sixth Street, is a tall, dark-haired student who is active in debate. Andrea, an enthusiastic member of the debate club, says, I like debate because I would enjoy being a politician and a public spea er. Debate is an absolute must in politics because it helps teach how to expressyourself,and it also teaches you how to be convincing. In debate we learn all types of speaking pointers and tech- niques. We learn extemporaneous speaking, Lincoln-Douglas de- bate, prose, poetry, and original oratory. We also compete in many debate tournaments and events in the city or state. Andrea feels that students should take debate because it is very interesting and it teaches skills that can be valuable in later life. Concerning Austin High, Andrea Katz says, I like Austin High because of opportunities that are offered to me. Dan Arnold, coach of the debate team, has stated that Andrea is an excellent student in all of her classes. She and her partner won first place in their first tournament, which is quite an accomplishment for a freshman. In the process of their winning the tournament, they had to defeat two teams from Oklahoma that had won a previous Oklahoma tournament. I have great expectations for her to be a very real candidate for the state championship in debate if she sticks with debate. She's one of the most gifted students I've had in twenty years, said Arnold. Andrea does not have many hobbies other than debate except occasionally playing tennis at Westwood Country Club, since debate takes up most of her time during and after school. -David Rothgeb 37 Student leaders continue SFA success ,M H t ' want to carry on he traditions ofAustin High as well as introduce new ideas, explained Paul Gerling, junior and Fall Student Council Pre- sident, I want Austin High to keep the high standards it has established in the past. He was extremely pleased with the success of the Council's major projects: Homecoming activities, Stephen F. Austin's birthday activities, and the holiday ac- tivities. The main focus of our work was to carry out the projects that Student Council has already established in the past. Our goal was to do them better than ever. I'm really proud of the jobs that my cabinet has done on all of this year's projects, he stated. Paul is also involved in the Hall of Honor Steering Committee, Key Club, and the Super- intendents Student Advisory Committee. He plans to attend the University of Texas in Austin. He would like to get an under- graduate in business and then go into law. As for some of his hobbies, Paul enjoys hunting,hiking,waterand snow skiing, and plenty of outdoor activities. Paul describes himself as . . . the kind of person who doesn't like to do something unless it's done right. I'm a third generation Maroon and I'm proud to be a leader in such a tremendous school. I enjoy working with other people and I hope to continue the friendships I have made. Senior Class President Iody Hart also feels there is a friendly atmosphere at Austin High. Austin High is a place where you can feel comfortable being yourself. It's a place where you are accepted the way you are. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, but with a twist of academic intensity and the pressure to excellin yourstudiesf' he said. As Senior Class Presidentl feel I have brought the class of '84 together and increased student interest in school activites. Besides serving as Senior Class President, he was Vice-President of his sophomore class, President of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Vice-President of Student Council. Iody was an active member of the Austin High gymnastics team during his Freshman and So- phomore years. During his Sophomore year, he placed First in District Competition in Floor Exercises and Second in Vaulting, His specialty is his backflips . Iody has been playing the piano for eleven years. I just like doing it. Not too many people know I play the piano. I kind of keep it to myself.Ijust like making music.It relaxes me. Some of his other hobbies include: playing cards, raquet- ball, and swimming. Jody would like to attend Davidson College in Charlotte, North Carolina. He plans on majoring in political science. He would like to get into law and politics. Paul Von Wupperfeld is also interested in politics. Outside of school he is involved in political oriented things. Management internship takes a lot of my time in the afternoons. I work in the Govenor's Office over at the capitol. I have attended sever- al seminars on national government, including one in Washington last February. I donate my time and money to the campaigns of certain politicians whom I favor, he said. Paul believes student can get more involved in school. I want to get more students involved in Austin High activities. I believe popular apathy is the fault of poor leadership not lack of interest by students. When asked about plans for the future Paul replied, I would really like to attend a college with a good foreign service school. I plan to work in the service of my country in some way and I cannot imagine a better way than as a diplomat in the Foreign Service Corps. He believes, Everyone should always try to take part in life,both in school and out. Life is too short to be spent on the sidelines of mediocracy. Those are my beliefs at least. Andrew Chin, senior, has excelled both in and out of school. Besides being editor of the Maroon, he is a member of the debate team, President of the science club, a member of his church choir, and a student at the University of Texas. Andrew enjoys his position as co-editor of the Maroon. It's a chance to be high key.It'sachance for everybody to see what you think and who you are. There are alot of very well known seniors at Austin High, but I can best get to the student body this year by being editor of the Maroon. At the beginning of the '84 Fall semester, he will be classified as a junior at the University of Texas. He had originally planned on having completed three years at the university by the time of graduation, but he began taking full classloads and it got tough. Andrew is limited with his spare time. I read and write alot. Wil . Andrew Chin Jody Hart I like creative writing. I haven't read a book for pure pleasure in the last year. I've been too busy. I enjoy talking to people . . . getting to know them. 9093 of the people that I just ignored were amazingly deep rich people. That's where all the real education comes in. As editor of the Maroon he believes that he and Austin High have made an exchange. We both provide each other services. There has sort of been an exchange. I don't consider myself a student leader. I'm just a small part of history in Austin High's hundred year history. -Jeanette Villarreal 38- gizealwwi F Exchange students bring a variety of ideas, cultures and experiences to share at SFA ustin High has a dis tinct international flavor. Students from Brazil, England, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Taiwan, and Viet Nam are attending S.F.A. Most of them are exchange students, but a few have moved to the United States with their families. Yvette Atkinson is one of those students who moved to the United States, permanently, last year because her father was offered a job at The University of Texas. When Yvette finishes high school she plans to attend the University and become an architect. She has an interest in, what else, drawing. She likes the United States but said, it was really hard at first to come here because she didn't know anyone. The problem of not knowing many people was only one problem that Bruno Spadoni from Brazil had. When he came to the United States he could not speak English or understand it. He came to the U.S. to learn English and just to get to know the United States. About the U.S. Bruno said, the United States seems to be somewhere in the future. He likes Austin High and said that it is such a nice school. He said that SFA has much more adequate facilities than his Brasilian High School, He likes to play the piano and is in the choir at Austin High. He said he likes music a lot but does not plan to make it his profession. He said he might like to be a medical doctor, but he's not sure. Another foreign student, Lor- enza Bianchi-Maladrone, would like to be a doctor, except not for people. Lorenza would like to be a vet. Lorenza is from Asti, Italy. She said coming to the United States . .washard. . . ,but . ., kind of fun. She played volleyball and the guitar in Italy and is going to be on the girls' soccer team at Austin High. Besides sports, Lorenza is very interested in science. Lorenza will be going back to Italy at the end of Iune. Spain, just one country away from Italy, sent us another exchange student, Ignacio Rodriguez. He said that coming to the U.S. he experienced some cultural shock. Yvette Atkinson Ignacio Rodriguez The big difference is the way school is conducted. The teachers move from room to room instead of the students. When he was in Spain he played soccer on a team, but he cannot play on a school team here because of a UIL rule. He came to the U.S. with Spanish Hertiage CSHJ, an organ- ization that matches the student as closely as they can with a host family. He wanted to come to learn about American life and to learn better English. He is going back to Spain at the end of Iune. Another student who came to learn about American life is Sebastian Inhauser from Switzerland. He thinks school here is much too easy. It is much harder in Switzerland, he added. Sebastian has already finished high school in Switzerland but came to the U.S. to see what America is like. He likes to run, and is on the S.F.A. track team, to ski, to read, and to learn languages. He knows English, Italian, French, and German. When he goes back to Switzerland he will be a skiing instructor during the day and attend college at night. He is going back to Switzerland in March. Another foreign student who moved to the U.S. is Charles Pao from Taiwan. He moved to the U.S. about one year ago along with his mom and brother. They moved to the U.S. for educational reasons mainly. He said that language . . .is a problem, 'but he likes the U.S. When he finishes high school he would like to go to the University of Texas and become an electronic engineer. His interests are tennis, baseball and badmitton. He plans to go back to Taiwan after college. Nahn Nygun is a foreign student who is here under unique circumstances. He is a refugee from Vietnam. He is staying with a host family until his real family comes to the United States. He said, It's very hard to adapt to the United States because the language and schools are different. But he also said, I love Austin High which makes adapting easier. He added again that school here is . . . quite different . In Viet Nam, the classes a student takes are mandatory. When he finishes high school he would like to attend The University of Texas and plans to study law. I want to go into politics, he added. Another foreign student who came to the United States for educational reasons is Piyanuch Suvauch. Her reason for coming is unique. She came to the U.S. to attend school because she did not know enough Thai to attend Thailand schools. While in Thailand, she at- tended an international school to learn and be able to speak better fEnglishJ. When she came to the U.S. last August she found she liked her American high school, But not as much as my old school. She said one reason she liked her old school better was because at Austin High it was hard to get a friend. When Piyanuch finishes high school she plans to go to college and major in Biology. I want to be a doctor, she said. She likes to play the piano and to play volleyball. She is planning to stay in the United States to continue her education, but when she finishes she may go back to Thailand. -Kathy Ramirez 39 A cut above Top Administrators oversee school by Iulie Ivy ne of the most respected offices at Austin High contains a very important, proud, and unique woman. The diploma and award-laden walls, the maroon carpet, the large, heavy desk buried in memos, files, notes, forms, and other important papers is the office of Principal Jacquelyn McGee. McGee does a million different things, she said. Among her duties, are over-seeing the school's instructional program, judging and improving the quality of the educational program, hiring and firing of staff members, and the responsibility of purchasing new materials. Overall, McGee is responsible for absolutely everything that happens at SFA. In McGee's eyes, a school principal must be imaginative, energetic, willing to take risks, up-to-date on what's going on, and knowledgeable of the law, she said, adding that, it's a hard thing to do, because it's so varied. Secretary to the Principal, Anne Dourte, now in her ninth year with SFA, also has a very busy workday. One of her jobs is to arrange appointments for people wishing to converse with the principal. Ms. McGee will speak to any student with a Ms. McGee will speak to any student with a concern. -Anne Dourte concern, Dourte stated. It was echoed by Brian Schenk, Government teacher, who adds that, a student who gets to talk to the principal, gets to spend more time with her than the faculty does. Dourte's other duties consist of making out faculty payroll, ordering office supplies, keeping track of substitute teachers, handling faculty personnel files, arranging field trip bus schedules, and lastly, serving as McGee's receptionist. Despite the importance of her jobs, Dourte loves her work. I love to meet people, and the teachers are so friendly, she said, it's like one big family, Dourte said. Associate Principal, Irma Novoa, also in her ninth year with SFA, but her first year as Associate Principal, has a list of jobs nearly a mile long. Novoa handles written correspondence for the school, compiles the school handbook, and administers the morning announcements. She attends numerous meetings involving students, parents, and committees at the national, state, city, district, and campus levels, she said. In addition, she, McGee, and the other assistant principals are responsible for new courses offered to students. Novoa often travels, and compares Austin High students to students in other high schools, and can't help but thank God for every moment I spend at Austin High, she said. Management Assistant to the Principal Pat Cherico is primarily in charge of the building maintenance, custodians, textbook obligations, and all the school's keys, including the prized elevator keys.

Kinkel mainly handles truencies, tardies, class-cutting, and discipline, but he also deals with immunizations and teacher evaluations. Kinkel believes that SFA's discipline policies cut students more slack than other schools. We're more liberal, he said, We deal longer with more things. We know that kids arestill growing, and they make mistakes, Kinkel added. A new face at SFA this year belongs to Assistant Principal Benjamin Montgomery. Montgomery stated that he came to the job interview for assistant principal's position, spoke with current staff members, was impressed with the school itself, and decided to take the job. I handle referals, observe teachers, monitor students during class changes, and have parent conferences about student discipline problems, said Montgomery, adding that he really enjoys Austin High students. That's what it's all about, he said. Bonnie McDonald, school registrar, is re- sponsible for all academic records, which are filed and kept forever. She also registers new students, sends notices to failing students, and works with graduating seniors about courses and graduation requirements. McDonald considers her job demanding, because all of the records I deal with have to be accurate. Errors can be drastic. McDonald added that, on the whole, the student body strives to do well. Assistant Principal Claire Breihan operates the school's attendance policy and deals with class-cutting individuals in addition to assisting the principal. Breihan has been at SFA since 1978, and was formerly an AISD desegregator. She enjoys her job and plans on staying at SFA. We have fabulous students, Breihan said, they're interesting because there's such a variety. Attendance Clerk Bertie Owen talks on the telephone, and answers a million questions. Owen keeps track of absences and tardies per period, posts them on the computer, and calls parents concerning them. She supervises thirteen aides and also answers questions that students have. Owen haslfun with her job, but said, I work from 7:30 am to 4:30 or 5:00, get a half-hour for lunch, and no break. 40 - ldcardefmaffd W van.. ..-.-us-1 , ,swf ...... g Jack Kinkel discusses a matter with Assistant Principal Benjamin Montgomery laughs at a comment made by a passer-by. student Robinson Cocke.

In a remote part of the third floor, the large maroon letters of BUSINESS and the set of double doors lead to several rooms, most of which overlook Zilker Park. The rooms contain row after row of typing and other business machines, wall charts of machine keyboards, and in some cases, a houseplant or two to personalize the environment. Among the courses offered in the business department are typing, accounting, computer literacy, distributive education, and office duplicating. Typing is one of the more popular courses offered. It ftypingj really comes in handy because right nowlhavealotofreportsdue,andalso forcollegef' said sophomore Tracy Overbeck, typing student. It looks neater, Overbeck said, stating I think it should be required.

Typing I introduces the keyboard and basic typing situations, said typing instructor Lynn Sanders. Typing II is an advanced class and is introduced to almost all types and formats expected by professional typists, Sanders said, in addition, typing III and IV are honing their skills and knowledge of all typing situations. Many students sign up for typing for the keyboard skills needed to operate a com puter, said business education instructor Anne Walker. Perhaps hand-in-hand with typing, comes computer literacy, taught by Walker. I was interested in it and wanted to learn about computers, said freshman jason Manosevitz. Sissy Zamora, sophomore, decided to take computer literacy to learn how to use a computer. In this course, students learn how computers work, computer terminology, BASIC programming, word processing, how to use many software packages on the IBM personal computer, and the many applications of the computer, Walker said. Walker also teaches accounting, in which students learn all the concepts of the accounting cycle in business and practice them through simulated problems, she said. The course prepares them for college accounting and other entry-level jobs in accounting, Walker added. Senior Linda Hernandez operates an offset printing press. The offset printing press is one of many machines students learn to use in Office Duplicating. Unlike most business courses, which can be taken for only one semester, accounting must be taken for a full year. Accounting students have usually started thinking seriously about a business or an accounting career, Walker said. Office duplicating, another variety of business course taught by Terry Gutierrez, is a pre-employment lab course that trains students in general office work and office printing. Office duplicating is a two-hour class, and Guteirrez recommends that students take it for a full year. The course can be taken for two years, however. One classroom period is spent emphasizing the concepts and skills related to the simulated shop operation and the other portion is spent on other related activities, such as business math, spelling, grammar, filing, banking, typing, and calculator operations, Gutierrez said. Most students who sign up for this course seek a variety of skills and must be recommended by a counselor. In the distributive education classes, taught by Sue Patrick, students learn how to sell merchandise, buy and set up a business, the free enterprise system, retailing math, advertising, display, and human relations, Patrick said. Students also receive individualized instruction in their particular job area interest, and when they have finished their classes for the day, they go to work at real jobs to receive pay, credits, and on-the-job training. Most of my students earn above minimum wage, although the reason for working is not money, but job experiences, Patrick said. 4.2-14 ' IB ' Wi i L M V ' ' ' --,-1 5 f'-nuiif1f '1', ni H A ' ,- - 2 2 T A 1 f if NM., is I-gsggk, , V 2 , , 2 h .A ..

Cooperative meansjustthatgthestudentswork in cooperation with their employer in exchange for valuable on-the-job experience which places them far ahead of students who had no such training. Despite the value of the coop's, these courses might be cut in half next year due to the new AISD policy requiring capacity classes, an area that CVAE instructor Maida Draker feels concern. In past years, a number ofat least twelve students was necessary to justify having a particular class, but the new policy requires at least twenty. But, it won't go down without a fight! Many teachers in the district are struggling at. board meetings to keep the current policy. CVAE fCooperative Vocational Academic Educationj, ICT Clndustrial Cooperative Trainingj, HECE tHome Economics Cooperative Educationl, and Health Occupations Cooperative Training just about cover the spectrum of employment. Health Occupations courses prepare students for careers in medicine, dentistry, nursing, physical therapy, and dental assisting. These fields are challenging, and members enjoy high incomes, said Health Occupations instructorRoeginaHainline,adding thatnstudents Students get an inside look through on-the-job training. -Roegina Hainline, Health Occupations instructor get an inside look through on-the-job training. Introductory level skills such as vital signs, transfer, CPR, as well as theory, such as medical ethics, medical terminology, medical asepsis, anatomy, physiology, pathology, and phar- macology are taught in the classroom, Hainline stated. The classroom skills taught are in addition to the information attained in the student's particularjob area. Hainline has students working in intensive care and cardiac care units at Brackenridge Hospital, veterinarian hospitals, dental assistants, physical therapy aides, and nursing assistants to handicap children. Hainline believes that the course benefits students tremendously. As a registered nurse myself, I would have given an thing to have had an opportunity to gain this kindyof valuable experience, said Hainline. Itis difficult to enter the field withoutsome sort of previous knowledge or training, Hainline added. In the classroom, HECE students study units on Parliamentary procedure, self concepts, good work attitudes, personal appearance, safety, banking, income tax reports, and interviewing are covered, to give students an added advantage in the job world. Each student has their own training plan which identifies tasks in their work area, said Florence Thompson, HECE instructor. They have workbooks that correspond and they work on these tasks to improve their knowledge, she said. Students also keep a wage and hour report which is tabulated daily. Some of the jobs HECE students have are child care, apparel and accessories, clothing production, service, floristry, home furnishings, food institutional and home management, and personal services. isp Richard James on the job at Hammer Engineering. James' ICT instructor John Harbour commented that most of his students earn above average wages at their jobs. For the more masculine side ofthe working class, is john Harbour's ICT class. His students hold down jobs in fields such as auto mechanics and construction. I think it's a great class to get into, it gives you a chance to see if you like the job, commented senior Tony Matisi, who works at the Phownix BMW shop as a mechanic's apprentice. 'il was destined to work at 'Bonanza' until I got into this class, he stated. In addition to doing assignments from their workbooks, students learn about budgeting, finance, safety, first-aid, and 1040 income tax forms, Harbour said. Trying hard land succeedingb to motivate his students about life and work, Harbour says I get on my soap box sometimes, adding that 8096 to 9096 of his students will either attend college or trade and technical schools. Of course, different students elect to take the course for different reasons. I don't like to stay in school all day long, commented senior Berry Gannaway, who works downtown at Dale's auto parts warehouse. Gannaway plans to become a dentist someday. junior Mike Gaudion works construction, commenting that, I've never been an academic student in the first place. CVAE, unlike other cooperative courses, does not pertain only to certain occupational fields. Every cooperative except CVAE is designed for a special field, CVAE focuses on the whole broad spectrum, Draker said. A student doesn't have to be in a particular grade level, but must be at least sixteen years of age to enter the course, which is designed for students who are behind in school. CVAE students work on stren thening their practical math skills, coping wit? teachers and employers, and work out of the Consumer Success book. Students that are completely alone and responsible for themselves are certainly helped by this program, Draker said. l 0 44-14 le wiv CVAE instructor Draker chats her students class begins.

The shelves lining the hall are filled with books, posters, brochures, and bulletins containing information about colleges across the U.S. The five offices contain four class counselors and one vocational counselor, people who specialize in helping students get into correct courses, cope with changing psychological needs, plan for college, deal with pressure, and generally make the high school experience a pleasant one. Counselors are great people, they really help you in being a person who is objective, said junior Michael Genet. A counselor is a friend, Genet added. They're very patient, said freshman Melissa deLeon. I had a big, big schedule problem and they worked it out quickly and efficiently, deLeon stated. I was having trouble in one of my classes, commented freshman Enrique Brecede, and she I was having trouble in one of my classes, and she suggested that I move to another class. -Enrique Breceda, freshman suggested that I move to another class. To better meet the needs of students, each counselor is assigned to, and serves a particular class from the time they enter high school in the ninth grade, until the time they graduate. After helping a class through school, the counselors tend to get attached, and when their class graduates, I feel a bit remorse, said freshman counselor Mabel Williams, because I've worked with them for four years, and I watch them grow from frightened, insecure, and bewildered freshmen, to mature, goal-oriented, and excited seniors. It all starts out when the incoming freshmen are still in junior high school. The freshman counselor visits all of the SFA feeder junior high schools at the time course selections are made to explain all of the options, course offerings, graduation requirements, and honors graduation. My job is to help make it a smooth transition from junior high to high school, Williams said. During this freshman year, the students are exposed to, and have the option to take honors courses, which are academically more rigorous. Some viewed it as prestigeous, and some viewed it as opportunity, Williams said, but once in these classes, some were faced with the reality of a rigorous academic program, and they simply couldn't handle it. Sophomore counselor Norma Cowan also has a busy job making sure her students get into the right classes. Cowan visits English classes before choice sheets come out each semester, and is always available to answer any questions students might have. She helped me figure outwhichclasses to take, watching her class grow and mature through high school. vm W-in mm-mv' said sophomore Carol Hernandez. Cowan also helps students deal with personal problems. I help them cope, Cowan said, but sometimes it's a matter of helping the parents cope and get through. Each semester, I go over the classes they've just finished and make sure they're taking the required courses, said junior counselor Margaret Kahn. She also finds out what the students' plans are after high school to better help with course offerings. Gnce they set some goals, I find courses to benefit them, Kahn said, adding that ultimately, it's the student's choice, but I try to help them. The junior year is an extremely important year for students, and Kahn says it's a real turning point. Kahn also notices that the junior year is when a lot of students ask for help on college entrance requirements and career options. Finally, Gaylord Humberger, senior counselor, guides the graduating class through their last year of high school. Although he reviews the number of credits each studenthasinacoursewith them, studentsshould know exactly how many credits they have, he said. Because the senior year is the last year a student .., has to complete required courses, a job that Humberger sees that gets done, I talk to them individually, visit English classes, and post bulletins offering help, he said. In deciding about future careers and options to all students, vocational counselor Charlie Davis can help. I-Ie QDavisJ helped me choose classes when I had to get a schedule change, said sophomore Kelly McGinty. The biggest thing I am confronted with in working with students is trying to get them to see that some of the courses offered in Vocational Education are very useful to them, Davis said. The courses offered through Davis range from those that are not too technical, to those that are very technical, he said. Courses range from Bricklaying to Cosmetology, and from one to three hour class periods. From time to time, students will tell you that they are pleased with the work you've done for them, Davis said, adding that it brings about a very good feeling. A counselor is one of the best people you'll ever meet, said sophomore Craig Clayton. 46-14 ' i0 l I 45 534. -W ie f,,a'5 W' 434 s WM vm W ,,,, ffff A ff W K lm.. 4' Secretary Kay Davenport some on her desk.

Debaters become skilled speakers by julie Ivy unique group of SFA students gather each clay in the open-area classroom positioned in the middle of the second floor social studies department. A passerby would often catch a glimpse of these students memorizing notes, entranced in a deep discussion, or preparing for a tournament. These are the students of debateg dedicated individuals who thrive on a good argument. Contrary to popular opinion, getting out of class isn't the only thing we do, said Iosh Ellinger, sophomore. Students are taught how to do different types of debate, how to read prose and poetry aloud, how to do humorous and dramatic oral interpretation, original oratory extemporaneous, and duet u ' r In addition to debating, there s a whole bunch of speech activities and a heavy overlap into drama. -Josh Ellinger, sophomore acting, said Dan Arnold, debate instructor, summarizing the course's curriculum. Time is also given to student congress, which involves Parliamentary procedure, how laws are passed, etc., Arnold said, adding that 'debate' covers much more that just debating. In addition to debating, said Ellinger, there's a whole bunch of speech activities, and a heavy overlap into drama. Although every student doesn't attend every debate tournament, all attend at least two of nineteen or twenty offered. Time devoted to debate spent outside of school depends largely on the student. Several of the members, myself included, spent at least ten to fifteen hours a week at the Law Library, Ellinger said, stating that debate was about H9096 research and 1092 arguing. The students see a thrill in all the hard work, though. I first did a debate before I took the class and thought it was fun, said Alex Kolesnick, senior, I thought I could learn more by taking the class. Debate is a demanding course, because it requires students to think for themselvesg something far too many people don't want to do, stated Arnold. Arnold hopes to instill in his students the ability to speak before an audience, the ability to listen critically, and the ability to think logically and to assemble their thoughts rationally, Aside from the students who sign up for the course for the challenge of it, occasionally students who are shy and wish to overcome this problem sign up . . . an excellent idea, Arnold said. This year debate students worked as volunteer readers for the blind, and read and performed for the Special Education classes here at Austin High School, produced their own TV program for live Debate instructor Dan Arnold prepares to begin his fourth period class. Debate emphasizes speaking, thinking, and listening skills. channel 8, and hosted a speech tournament, stated Arnold. The tournament held here at SFA was on Feb. 3. We had thirty-six schools attending, with gross receipts at registration of about S4000, said Andrew Chin, senior. Everyone who worked on last year's tournament as well as this year's, thought this one worked smoother, Chin said, adding that after clean-up, we all went out to play football on Austin High's field . . .exactly the same thing we did last year, starting the debate squad's football-playing tradition. 48-14 ' ffbedale F l 941' classmate Julie Koch asslgnment.

But in order to reach this common dream, one must first pass certified Driver's Theory and Behind-the-Wheel courses. The fee for these courses is S25 for Theory, and S75 for Behind-the-Wheel, taught at SFA by john Myers, Driver's Education instructor for thirty years. Driver's Ed. is designed to teach the student the rules of the road and all the defensive driving topics needed to cope with the hazards of today's driving, Myers said. Driver's Ed. room 101 should certainly be an inspiration to future drivers. The walls are covered with safety posters, related news clippings, and even an automobile chasis. In the Theory course, taught at the 0 hour, students thoroughly cover the Texas Driver's Handbook in preparation for the written exam at the DPS office. Students get actual driving experience, though, in Behind-the-Wheel, taught during the day. Above all, safety is exercised at all times. Before Driver's Ed. is designed to teach the student the rules of the road and all the defensive driving topics needed to cope with the hazards of today's driving. -John Myers, instructor the student is allowed to drive, he must first fasten his seatbelt, adjust the seat and mirrors, and make any other necessary alterations. Hopefully the students will become and remain safe drivers. Another elective, though a required one-semester course for Iuniors, but not falling into any other category, is Health. Even though Health is a required course, it's probably the best course a high school student can take because it's pertinent to everyday life, said instructor Barbara Behne. Some topics covered in the course are tobacco, alcohol, and drug abuse, CPR CCardio-Pulmonary Resuscitationj, first aid, topics in human sexuality including birth control methods, pregnancy, STD fSexually Transmitted Diseasej, nutrition, and digestion. The students become certified in CPR by the EMS,and are assignedaresearch paper on different categories of drugs such as amphetamines, depressants, and hallucinogens. I hope it will help them make a wise decision, Behne said of the drug report, but we can't tell them what to do, and what not to do. About the Health courses in general, I hope they learn how to take care of their bodies, so they can live a longer life, Behne said. 1 Austin 1 DEPENDENT A Behind-the-Wheel student prepares to times. ,f N with instructor John Myers. ,-,.4 1 ,ef ,PJ V f IS exercised at all ' . z ir 5 Yr Myers loads a few orange road cones for a day in Behind-the-Wheel in the trunk of the Driver Ed.

This year, Griffith initiated the Fine Arts Fest '84 , held from April 24-27, which she hopes will become an annual event. The festival included performances by pianists, the choir, stage band, orchestra, and drama students, as well as the art students with their projects for sale on display. There was no excuse not to go, Griffith said, because it was right here in the schoolhouse, The art department attended numerous local shows, and manned a face painting booth in Spring Thing as well, Griffith also spent the previous summer constructing the elaborate Uncle Sam for the SFA float in the UT Centennial parade, earlier this year.

Seemingly the most practical languages to learn would be Spanish and Latin, but German and French were offered as well, '84 being an exceptionally busy year for the German students. Since the question of bilinguality crops up quite often in most parts of Texas, many students benefit from taking Spanish, opening up opportunities in fields where it's a necessity. Aside from learning just the bare bones, students also study some of the language's history and culture. Learning a language and becoming familiar with the culture based on that language gives the student a broader perspective of the world, said Latin instructor Novella Wiley. The study of Latin gives the student a foundation for the study of almost any subject, Learning a language and becoming familiar with the culture based on that language gives the student a broader perspective of the world. -Novella Wiley, Latin instructor Wiley said, the Latin language is the basis for English vocabulary and for the special terminology in many fields including law, medicine, literature, and the sciences. The Latin students did well in their competitions, including the AISD Language Festival, Area B-ICL Uunior Classical Leaguej convention, and the National Latin Exam. The Language exams and competitions weren't really bothering severalGerman studentsthisyear, though. Instructor Gisela Sterling, and a handful of her students, plus two more from other schools, guided by Karl Svoboda, packed their bags for a trip to Germany on March 6. The trip lasted thirteen days, and covered the German and Austrian cities of Frankfurt, Heidelburg, Rotenburg, Nurenburg, Munich, Vienna, Salzburg, and a village outside of lnnsbruch in the heart of the '62 Olympic ski slopes. Students were abletosee the Glockenspiel and the concentration camp Dachau in Munich, St. Stefan's Cathedral and the Vienna Boy's Choir in Vienna, town squares, castles in many cities, and other sights previously but imagined from pictures in textbooks. The entire cost of the trip was about S1500 per person, which included hotels, meals, and air tare. In addition, German students attended their biennial New Braunfels Wurstfest trip in November. Back in the classroom, all levels of German classes learned the basics of grammar and practical speaking through exercises in acting out dialogues, and writing. Some classes also read from soft-cover story books, including classic German fairy tales. .i ...f in .gt ff ,Hia Freshman Justin Glover acts out a dialogue skit in his first year German class with a partner.

Nutrition is the study of what foods are needed by the bodyg the function of each nutrient and deficiency symptoms, said Ruiz. Students in Nutrition classes evaluate their own diets using a computer, plan meals, and study different techniques of preparing various foods. They also take a field trip to purchase groceries, and serve a guest meal at the end of the semester. The big advantage of the Nutrition class is that students will know how to select foods that are nutritious, and how to fulfill their requirements of all nutrients, Ruiz stated. Interior Design focuses on art principles, and consumer information as to selection of a home or apartment to buy or to lease, Ruiz said. Students select a room in the home to be Students will be able to make informed choices concerning their housing requirements, and will be able to decorate their own homes. -Mary Ruiz, Nutrition and Interior Design instructor decorated, Ruiz stated, and selections are made for the walls, floor, windows, etc. To reinforce their studies, the students visit a house under construction, a model home, and furniture stores during the year. Students will be able to make informed choices concerning their housing requirements, and will be able to decorate their own homes, Ruiz said. Located partially in the same department is the Pre-Employment Lab Education KPELEJ courses, taught by Dorris Sanders and Ann Busby. The Child Care Development Lab, part of, but not to be confused with PELE, is the other half of the same course, located in the first floor Commons area, and can be readily spotted by the scores of children racing about on their Big Wheels at certain times of the day. Originated by Mabel Pitts, who was honored on Dedication Day this year, the child care courses, which prepare students for parenting and jobs in child care, have been in the AISD for forty years. When the PELE students are with Sanders upstairs in the Home Economics department, they prepare stories to read, art activities, games, and other activities for the small children downstairs in the lab. The class teaches the students responsibilities in a lot of ways, Busby said. In addition to learning how to talk with children, which is a plus for those wishing to become parents someday, the students learn about themselves in seeing another person grow and develop, and in most cases, the students make positive changes in themselves while taking the course. The students and the children also take numerous field trips during the year to such places as the Natural Science Center, Zilker Park, the I f Sophomore Sissy for them. the Child Care children as they play with an activity she prepared 4 sf as ,eiziida Mabel Pitts talks with the children in the Lab.

Located in the unobstrusive part of the first floor, the drafting room in all its laid-back style lies, door open and radio playing. The music helps students relax as they manipulate paper and instruments at rows of drafting tables. In the first year of drafting, I teach them line symbolism, instrument use, and visual communication, said drafting instructor George Avery. Avery stresses that drawing in drafting is precise, as opposed to art drawing. After students accumulate some experience, they may move on to advanced drafting courses, which branch off into two fields, architectural and technical, Drafting is one of the fastest growing, highest paying, specialized fields in our rapidly modernizing society. -George Avery, Drafting Instructor The architectural courses emphasize housing design, remodeling, and blueprint reading. The technical other half deals with engineering, in which a student may choose three of numerous subjects to study, each for a six-weeks period, completing a semester. Machine drafting, cams and gears , and aerospace drafting are a few offered in the technical classes. Drafting is one of the fastest growing, highest paying, specialized technical fields in our rapidly modernizing society, Avery said. Demanding high standards, Avery won't accept sloppy work, but he adds, it's wonderful that I was the one tointroduce themfhisstudentsjto the field, but they're doing it for themselves. just around the corner from drafting, down a short three step flight of stairs, is the photography classroom. The big glass display case draws students passing by to examine the photographs inside, some of which are award winners from previous competitions. In the photography classes, like any other classroom situation, written tests are given and bookwork assigned, in addition to learning the basic motor skills of picture taking and darkroom technique. The one-hour black and white, and color classes require a material-charge of fifteen and twenty dollars, respectively. Instructor Roy Bartlett attributes the higher cost of the color course to the more expensive film and chemicals. Also, color chemicals have a very short shelf life, black and white chemicals last considerably longer, Bartlett said. Q if' ,,,,--fm Freshman Enrique Breceda prepares to begin his drafting assignment at his table. Breceda attends George Avery's fourth period drafting class. A two-hour commercial photography course is also available, in which students are able to go into much more detail with their work, produce higher quality photographs, and acquire more skills. I wanted to take it fcommercial photography, because I wanted to learn more about photography, said sophomore Steve Kaufman. We can work on our own stuff, plus get our photography assignments done for class, Kaufman added. Students in all photography courses have a score of competitions available to them. Any student can compete in any competition they want. Bartlett said, but if you d0n't have it in Austin, you run into expenses. Among the school related competitions, though, the one-hour classes may enter the Hill Country Industrial Arts Association regionals, and the Area Five Vocational Olympics is open to the two-hour classes. Down the hall, neighboring Bartlett's photography class is Don Welch's woods, metals, and leather classes. In the woods and metals courses, students learn how to use various machines and equipment. In addition, the metals classes learn how to operate electric and gas Welders. I figured learning how to weld would help me later in life, said sophomore Damian Messbarger, metals student. Both the woods and metals courses prepare students for jobs when they graduate, said Welch. The leather course, on the other hand, is strictly a hobby class, in which students learn different uses for leather and work on small projects. Students can enter their projects in the regional competition held at Bedicheck junior High School, and, if they do well, advance to the state competition in Waco. I think students who plan to go to college should be in some vocational technical education classes while they're in high school, because they won't haveachance to doitin college, commented Welch. 58-14 I!

It might sound like chaos, but the job gets done. The Maroon won the Gallup award, and the five-star All-American. The Comet won the All-American from NSPC fNational Scholastic Press Conferencej, and both publications walked away with the Award of Distinguished Merit from ILPC flnterscholastic League Press Conferencej. All of the student publications in Austin are top-notch, said journalism advisor Tom Prentice, but both the Comet and Maroon are untouchable in the nation,because of studentprofessionalism. What Prentice expects from any student publication is that the information needs of the reader are met in a professional manner, he said. This is the first in Prentice's six years at SFA that the Maroon has had co-editors . Junior Trey Hailey and senior Andrew Chin manage the task of seeing that the paper gets put together. When I walked into school the first week this year and saw 'Chin' punched in orange label-marker tape over the same box that 'Dunn' and 'Ianuzzi' and 'Dunn' and 'Elliot' and all those superheroes had, I knew I had etched myself somewhere into the history of Austin High, said Chin. Well . . . it takes a lot of time, a lot of work, Hailey said of putting out the paper. During production, I've stayed up until 2:00 a.m. a couple of times, it's an obsession.

The lighter side of the Maroon 's hard news is the comics. Lucky , a character that junior Whitney Ayres built, has been making students laugh for about two years. The comics depict school life and what everybody would like to see at school. . .like frito pie flying across cafeteria tables, chuckled sophomore Kevin Huffaker. In addition to Lucky , Ayres has also done work for the Austin magazine Third Coast . It's a lot of hard work, Ayres said, but I'm hoping that someday maybe it'1l pay off.

Prentice is also writing a journalism textbook that covers yearbook production. First of all, you have to be really dedicated, said DuPuy, and you have to have faith in your staff and your advisor to get the various tasks done. The Comet production is arranged differently than the Maroon. During the first semester, the staff organizes studentffaculty portraits and figures out the design and graphics of the yearbook. In the second semester, the staff puts it all in gear. Students track down and interview sources, type stories, write captions for pictures, design fitting layouts for sets of two pages Cdouble-page spreadsj, assemble each page's content, and ship it off to the publisher. For the yearbook staff, it is a tremendous relief to see that final page completed, Nothing quite matches the feeling you get when you finish a publication, said Prentice, unless it's the feeling you get when you see it in print for the first time. 1 j . .rw Cf We 1 'Wag f V ,,f,, , I School Business , When I'm finished, commented DuPuy, I'll quit having nightmares.

You have to know everything that is involved with photography, from making the stock solutions to doing the actual developing, and most importantly, you must know how to do it quickly and efficiently, Otto said. Prentice has started a project of his own this year, writing a journalism textbook that will cover everything regarding yearbook production, he said.

And, naturally, some students love taking the course more than others. All of the essays, book reports, literature, research papers, and grammar are for a good reason. Though some students may argue that their English assignments were designed for the sole purpose of inducing headaches, abdominal pain, and drowsiness, the skills attained from such practice helps them master the English language and be able to do necessary things associated with everyday lifeg writing resumes, etc. In a 'high tech' society, there are going to be fewer and fewer places for students who can't use their language clearly and logically, said department chair, Phyllis Rothgeb. English teachers feel so sincerely that the use of the language is important, Rothgeb said, adding that, t is is the message that we would like to get to the students and their parents. In a 'high tech' society, there are going to be fewer and fewer places for students who can 't use their language clearly and logically. -Phyllis Rothgeb, Department Chair During each fall and spring semester, grammar and writing skills are covered, and literature in the spring. In the fall Freshman year, students practice basic parts of speech, sentences, clauses, phrases, paragraphs, subject-verb agreement, pronoun useage, and punctuation, said instructor Sean McWhirter, and in the spring, short stories, drama, poetry, and novels. Each year of English builds on the previous one, increasing the students' mastery of the language. Aside from basic English courses, are the Honors courses, which are considered to be more academically rigorous. Honors classes have required summer reading and partially uniform exams throughout the district, Rothgeb said, the idea for Honors is not so much more, but in greater depthff Students continuing with Honors English courses throughout high school, will have had to read twenty novels, and will have been better prepared for university work upon graduation. In the Advanced Placement, CAP,Senior I-Ionorsl classes, students take an advanced placement test, and if passing, qualify for college credit. Correlated Language Arts CCLAD courses are for students who are in high school and have arrived here without adequate reading and writing skills, at, or below the twenty-fifth percentile, Rothgeb said. Practically hand-in-hand with CLA, are reading courses, which some students are required to take. The general subject of reading is divided into three courses of Basic Reading for ninth graders, Intermediate Reading Skills fortenth and eleventh graders, and Advanced Reading Strategies for Juniors Nancy Sanders and Susan Skaggs practic Advanced Reading Strategies class. eleventh and twelfth graders. ln Basic Reading, a diagnostic test is given to determine the students' strengths and weaknesses, and then work is done to improve the weak areas. Intermediate Reading Skills concentrates more on material learned in Basic Reading, and is available to anyone. Advanced Reading Strategies is a course designed for students going to college, said instructor Ann McKinney. Among things emphasized in this course, are study skills, time management, testing skills, and speed reading skills, McKinney said. Both Intermediate Reading Skills and Advanced Reading Strategies are general electives, and McKinney says that the students who choose to take these courses really do want to improve their reading. Our goal is to achieve seventieth percentile or better in comprehension, learn how to skim material, and read in a study manner, McKinney e their vocabulary with flash cards in Ann McKinney's said.

The large SFA library houses 22,107 books as of May, 1983, not including the 530 new books added in 1983-84. Keeping this in mind, there's some truth to the ad slogan you can get it at the library. Who uses all these books? Somewhere between five hundred and one thousand kids use the library every day, said librarian Kay Braziel. Aside from studying, freshman Lynett Arellano and junior Mike Rivera both agree that the library is a great place to go just to get away. It's real quiet in there . . . just sit back and relax, commented Arellano and Rivera. The many new books in the library this year were selected by the librarians through the MPC, fMaterials Processing Officej. The librarians, who get new book ideas from book review magazines, and suggestions from Real serious students are here before we are in the mornings, beating the door down. -Lynda King, Librarian students and teachers, send their orders to MPC, who contact the publishers of the various books. Although numerous new books are ordered each year, it almost evens out with the number of books lost each year. According to librarian Lynda King, during her first year at SFA five years ago, there were some eight hundred books lost. The following year, after keeping a watchful eye on library-using students, only some four hundred books were lost. To top it all off, last year, cutting the figures in half once more, only two hundred books were missing. Hopefully putting the goal ofzero books lost into reach, the library is scheduled to receive a new book security system next year. SFA will be one of the first schools to use one of the systems. To lose a book, the student must first check the book out. Although this is not the intended purpose, the procedure is relatively simple. The student signs his name, along with his first period teacher's name at the front desk, is given a color-coded tag, fwhich many students use as bookmarksj, and is allowed approximately two weeks to use the book. To return the book, the student simply places it in one of three bright orange bookdrops located throughout the school. From the bookdrop, the book is returned to the library, and crosses the front desk where the name is cleared and the book is returned to the shelf. Occasionally, a book becomes overdue and is not returned promptly. This year, the library has incorporated the use of a new computer for processing overdue notices. Eighteen library aides help make the check-out and return process a little less painful. The aides also help students use the reference section and find books. 5 . I love the library, commented library aide Mike Swearingen, senior, it's an excellent place. All kinds of students use the library, said King, but added that this year's freshmen seem to be more library oriented. Many students do use the library for studying, and King commented that the library is really the only place students can go for that purpose year round. Real serious students are here before we are in the mornings, beating the door down! King said. Aside from student use, the library also benefits teachers and classes, keeping track of two hundred and fifty pieces of audio-visual equipment. Two viewing rooms are also available. The library is closed only on a few occasions during the yearp TABS testing, or any testing that requires the quiet atmosphere and the last two weeks of school for inventory warrant closing, as well as part of lunch and morning pep rallies, which was a new addition this year. The librarians are very pleased with the student Kim Murphy goes through the check-out procedures at the desk. input into the '83-'84 library club. King said, the club is much more active this year. The club members, most of which are freshmen from O. Henry Iunior High, are really 'gung-ho' about the library, King said. This year, the club bought new books for the Child Care Laboratory, and made a donation to the Hall of Honor. The Librarians do extra things to make the library more enjoyable. Braziel designed the off-white and orange UT Centennial bookmarks. The markers contain four questions pertaining to UT'S history with the answers on the reverse side. I love to create something different and unique, said Braziel. The creative displays and bulletin boards, designed by Sue Miller, are an added attraction for the library. Ms. Miller does a wonderful job of creating displays in the library, Braziel said. Generally the library can best be described as a busy place, commented King. 64-14 .fidawuf lm f : 5 as NL 'X fi fggv A 29 fm V f MF M5 ff ug 5 A if J' Z!

For some, the abstraction of some kinds of math is difficult to grasp, and for others, higher math may be a breeze, but there is definitely a diversity of courses to satisfy most needs. FOM CFundamentals of Mathl is a practical course designed to give the student skills needed in everyday life, and is only one of the courses offered. Algebra is one of the most taken math courses, popular among Freshmen and Sophomores. Algebra I and Il both require a commitment to doing homework every night, commented instructor Anne Hyzak, adding that, Algebra II is the most failed high school math course, because it requires very good study habits. Algebra I and II both require a commitment to doing homework every night. Anne Hyzak, instructor Algebra I introduces the basic language, properties, applications of linear equations and inequalities, addition, subtraction and multi- plication of polynomials, and extensive factoring. The second semester uses factoring in working with algebraic fractions, functions and relations are studied, as are systems of open sentences with two variables, rational and irrational numbers, and quadradic functions and equations. Sound familiar? Geometry is also taken by many, and considered by some to be easier than Algebra in that one can see with pictures and sketches the reasoning behind the mathematical theories. In English, Geometry is the study of points, lines, and planes, and their relationship to each other, the union and intersection of these sets of points and properties of the figures formed by these points, said instructor Katherine Garrett. Covered in the course, are types of triangles. paralell and perpendicular lines, proving triangles congruent, similar triangles, special properties of right triangles, circles, properties of circles, area and volume of plane fflatj and three-dimensional figures, and coordinate geometry. In the Honors Geometry courses, students are required to do more analytical thinking, Garrett said. Honors students also do more work with 3-D figures and the study of points in space. Analysis and Trigonometry might be confusing to most people, but nevertheless, Dorris Schrank teaches these courses to willing students. Analysis involves the theory of equations, graphing of every kind, absolute values, mathematical induction, infinitive sequences, . ...gs Algebra instructor Del Moberg explains a problem to Kenneth Black, Junior. limits, limits of a function, and dirrivitives. This is in fact a pre-Calculus course. In Trigonometry, students learn the six trigonometric functions and the six circular functions and their applications, vectors, complex numbers, graphing, and polar coordination. Believe it or not, a few students do make it to Calculus. Calculus is the introduction to the study of the rates of change, said instructor Col. Lynn Harding, a link between physical phenomena as found in the sciences and the world of the user of the sciences. Limits, dirrivities, matural log rhythms, volumes of revolution, areas between curves, and integration are studied in the course.

The most common courses include bowling, gymnastics, slimnastics, tennis, badminton and softball. Outdoor Educatin, Bodybuilding, and Physical Conditioning classes are also available, but somewhat hidden from the mainstream gym classes. Outdoor Ed is one of the most interesting, if not unusual PE classes offered at SFA, in which students learn basic skills in climbing, rapelling, archery, backpacking, camping, and other survival skills. The students also spend an entire weekend camping in one of the more primative areas of Perdenales Falls, where they can see their newly-learned skills going to work for them. The last six-weeks of each semester is spent in a canoe atop Town Lake, where students enjoy the beautiful shores near the Hike and Bike trails. I think they fthe studentsj really like it, said instructor Teresita Ramirez, It's not like any ordinary class . . . there's more trust within this I felt like I needed to get in shape. I enjoy running, and I needed to lift weights. -Junior Louis Black, Physical Conditioning class because we spend so much time together. Ramirez added that this class makes my day everyday. For those primarily interested in toning and slimming their bodies, Physical Conditioning is an excellent choice. The students lift weights in the weight room three days a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, while Tuesdays and Thursdays are set aside for running on the Hike and Bike trails. Gradual improvement is stressed, and students begin the year by running maybe not more than a mile, and hopefully by the end of the year fshould the student stayj students will have improved enough to run the loop without any problems. The loop is a stretch of trail extending from SFA's south side, west and crossing the lake under the Mo-Pac bridge, over the Zilker Park train tracks, past the Gezebo, across the Barton Springs bridge, passing Zachary Scott theatre, across the Lamar Bridge, and then heading homeward, making a distance of 3.2 miles. Needless to say, only serious students sign up for this one. Most of the kids are in there by choice and are willing to work, and this makes it a good class, said coach Tom Hancock. Hopefully, the students will work hard and build up endurance, Hancock added. I felt like I needed to get in shape, commented junior Louis Black, I enjoy running, and I needed to lift weights. Black has noticed his increased strength and faster running, and said, I feel great. I 'G Chaim Goodman-Straus, Junior, rapells off the school building. Rapelling and climbing are only a few topics covered in Outdoor Ed classes. Black also recommends the class for anyone who needs to get into shape. If one feels like doing a little over-kill on getting in shape, Bodybuilding is the hot item. The bodybuilders generally occupy the weight room on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, Wednesdays set aside for general conditioning, films, or speakers. One of the course requirements is that students learn how to pose, which is an important aspect of bodybuilding. Students take before and after pictures in swimsuits, and measurements. Usually a noticeable change in muscle size and tone is seen in the after shots. Professional builders also visit the hopefuls during the year, and dish out the inspiration. It's a lot of fun, but a lot of hard work, said coach Diane Farr. Bodybuilding does in fact quicken your reflexes, because a stronger muscle can react faster that a weaker one, said Sophomore Kevin Huffaker, as he casually demonstrates some of his best poses. It increases your stamina, and you feel a lot better mentally and physically, Huffaker said. 68-A fP!ufuzd8 ' sig .. ,..... Md.

But one thing is certain, students taking science courses learn valuable lessons about themselves, the world around them, and even topics they can only but imagine. The science classrooms are well-stocked with all kinds of apparati, such as microscopes, dessecting tools, test tubes, wall charts, jars of perserved animals, algae, skeletons of small animals, chemicals, and even a human skeleton named, affectionately, Waldo , kept in a tall grey locker, but not composed of actual human bones. The horseshoe-shaped wing on the first floor accomoclates students for classes ranging from Physical Science and Biology to more advanced courses such as Chemistry and Physics. We live in an age where science plays an important part. Everything that has to do with living involves science. -Billy Porter, instructor Instructor Bill McClure describes Physical Science as a combination of Physics and Chemistry, but at a slower pace with less math. An assortment of equipment is used in Physical Science, said Shirley Ienson, bunsen burners, meter sticks, ring stands, thermometers, etc. Experiments are typical chemistry and physics experiments, Ienson added. Biology is another popular course, taught, coincidentally, mainly by SFA coaches. Charle? Bowman, Bill Glover, Mike Henry, and Billy Porter pass the word of Biology on to their students in addition to coaching team sports. Although Biology is the study of all life forms, Porter believes that students enjoy covering human systems in the second semester the most, because it's the section of the course that students can identify with. Bowman also enjoys teaching animal and human systems. I have considerable hours in Vertebrate and Invertebrate zoology . . . I instructed both courses at Texas Christian University, he said. Physiology is also taught at SFA, which involves detailed study of animals including the dissection of cats, which are larger specimens than frogs and earthworms that are mainly used in Biology. Chemistry is an advanced science course taught by Leyla Cohlmia and McClure. lt is the study of the make-up of matter, changes of matter, the mechanisms by which these changes occur, the products formed, and the energy changes encountered, Cohlmia said. This year, all chemistry classes attended a two hour UT Chemistry Circus performance, and s. Wagga , .....,,... M. .4 ., i M Ellzabeth Essary demonstrates a technique to detailed dissections than other science courses. Cohlmia's advanced classes went on a one-day field trip. McClure is SFA's lone Physic's instructor. He describes Physics as the fundamental science . . . the foundation of other sciences . . . force, motion, and energy. For extra credit, the Physics students attended Thursday Nite at the Physics Films on the UT campus. The study of 'light' is my favorite ftopic to coverl because it involves a wide range of neat theories and interesting applications, McClure said. Students are assigned several labs involving light and electricity in the second semester. Every science teacher is entitled to a unique opinion on the importance of the subject, but they all seem to convey a basic meaning. This may be an old cliche, but science has a direct or indirect on everything we do. Our lives are totally influenced by science . . . it is constantly changing, so we should continue our study of science, Bowman stated. her Physiology students. Physiology involves more People should know about their environment and understand how their world works, Cohlmia commented. Generally, science is man's search for an understanding of the universe. This sums up the reason why every student should be familiar with some of the principles of science, Jenson said. Science as taught in high school is at the most fundamental level . . . this forms the foundation of more complex subjects . . . you need science to learn other things. Almost every vocation uses either the content or method of science, or both, McClure said. And finally, summing it all up, we live in an age where science plays an important part. Everything that has to do with living involves science, added Porter. 70-4 ' fa-gccence Patty Salas and Junior get Q Q , W , L, 13 K 1 13 5 X Q f x ---' . ,Asi.,mt.:.9 2 , X 'ix 5 W2 Kr A My L: A Q my . re 3 eee W 1 A ,,.- 'E 1 ' ' - - Q ' - ' 'ggi 1, at N L , ce, ' ff A f Tl -- ' E ef Junior Piyanuch Sivayu measures out a solution in her Chemistry class.

Classrooms are formed by the arrangement of mobile bulletin boards and bookcases, and though it might seem to be a chaotic situation, the learning isn't altered, and the system works rather well. The department houses Geography, World History, American History, Psychology, Sociology, Street Law, and Government classes. Geography courses are a popular choice among freshmen and sophomores, taughtby CathyMartin and Alice Davis. In a nutshell, Geography, is the study of people and countries world-wide, Davis said. A new Geography textbook was adopted for the first time in twelve years this year, cutting down on student dependance on teacher-made ditto worksheets and learning materials. The new book gives students a reference, an additional source of information, Martin said. American History is also a popular course in the department, seeing as how every junior is required If we do learn from our historical mistakes and successes, we could more positively direct the affairs of our nation in the future. -Marty Owens, instructor to take it. The class covers every aspect of U.S. history, and is primarily discussion. The information covered in American History classes serves as a foundation for responsible citizenship, said instructor Marty Owens. If we do learn from our historical mistakes and successes, we could more positively direct the affairs of our nation in the future, Owens added. Government and Street Law classes exist in the department as well, under the leadership of Brian Schenk. Government is a required course for Seniors, which covers the structure and operation of government. Extensive studies are made in the numerous subject areas of the course, such as the U.S. Constitution, and the National Legislature. Students become familiar with the making of laws and how bills are passed, and participate in a mock senate for reinforcement of the material covered. Street Law, on the other hand is an elective course. Students cover the Criminal justice system in detail, and how laws are enforced. A mock trial is held, in which students go through the steps of prosecution, indictment, plea bargaining, and sentencing. juvenile justice is also covered, and students hold a mock juvenile hearing, in addition to visiting a jail, and prepare a research paper during the year. .- l I Sophomore Wess Golson soaks in information from his World History textbook.

With classes being held in several different areas around the school, the department serves all kinds of students, ranging from the most limited to the most gifted, said department chair Donna Bogle. Students that are mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, visually, auditorially, or health impaired, autistic, dyslexic, and multi- handicapped, in cooperation with their parents, benefit from the program. In addition, pregnant students have the opportunity to attend resource classes for any number of personal reasons. All of the students in the resource and special education department have a normal or above intelligence level, and Bogle adds, almost all of the students I work with are college bound, but many in the department are not. Home science is a course offered in the resource department, in which students learn home repair Basically, everything we do is vocational. We try to give them as many I I ' ' If hands-on experiences as possible. Instructor Tom Wiley and maintenance, how to use tools, and home beautification. There are different groups of students in the department. The self-contained students stay with their particular teacher for the entire school day, and attend an adaptive physical education class. The partially self-contained students attend regular academic courses for the majority of the day, and only have resource classes for a few hours. A big plus for the department is the use of several computers provided for by principal Iacquelyn McGee and a few parents. Besides helping students become better spellers and readers, the programs teach valuable computer skills necessary in the real world, rapidly becoming computerized. Instructor Tom Wiley works with a group of self-contained students who, in addition to their everyday studies, prepare and serve food for faculty members approximately every two weeks. Basically, everything we do is vocational, Wiley said, adding that, we try to give them as many 'hands-on' experiences as possible. Occasionally, the resource education instructors hear from students they've taught in the past, and there are a lot of success stories out there makin' it, Wiley said. .an Instructor Tom S0m6 I'TlII10I' Papel' Q tffsi- 1 f Paul Porgorzelski sits quietly before class starts. he begins his class.

Staffs perform necessary duties Students fedg buildng cleaned by support staffs by Iulie Ivy he support staff can be seen pushing carts heavily laden with cleaning devices, revitalizing the lunchroom after each session with SFA students, and preparing meals to fuel students for their rigorous academic studies. The custodial staff works staggered hours in two shifts from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., because some areas need to be cleaned before school, and some areas obviously need to be cleaned after school, said custodial manager Pat Cherico. Among custodial activities, they mop, vacuum, sweep, service restrooms, clean water fountains, and clean walls and lockers, Cherico said, adding that after school is dismissed for the summer, the building gets a thorough cleaning, including floors stripped and the insides of lockers cleaned. I am very pleased with the staff. They all carry their fair share of the burden, said Cherico. I am very pleased with the staff They all carry their fair share of the burden. -Pat Cherico Also serving the students of Austin High are the cafeteria workers, or lunchroom ladies , headed by Vada Bockhorn. Bockhorn, now in her seventh year at SFA, and her helpers work from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each weekday. Although the school menus are dictated from a dietician in the district, Bockhorn will alter the menu if she knows that students don't like a particular item. She used Hbarbecued beef on a bun as an example. Different children like different things, Bockhorn said, and she is considering the use of a suggestion box to help better determine what the students' preferences are. There are six departments, such as meat, salad, bread, etc., incorporated in meal preparations operated by one cafeteria worker and a helper. The finished product is a smiling woman standing behind the food counter ready to serve the inhabitants of Austin High. Bockhorn welcomes any comments from students, adding that, we're here to serve ya'll. Many SFA students recognize and appreciate the work that the support staffs do. I love 'em, said senior Tony Matisi. They're nice, and they don't bug you too much about picking up your trash, commented senior Lori Fletcher. 75 Jacks of all kinds of trades Students prepare for job world by learning entry-level skills by Iulie Ivy ocational courses offered at SFA, in- cluding Industrial Electronics, Construction, and Industrial Media Production, help prepare students for the employment world, by in- troducing them to basic necessary skills. Iames Calderon, Industrial Electronics in- structor, and new to Austin High, states that the class is an excellent prep course, adding that students can go to work and have the knowledge and skills that local employers are looking for. I'm thinking about making a career out of electronics, said Senior Mark Ferrell. It fthe classl helps you a lot when you go to college: you know more than a lot of people that are just starting, Ferrell said. In this course, students learn to design, construct, and test devices such as audio amplifiers, digital counters, and photo optic devicesg generally, a wide range of electronic instrument devices, ' Calderon said. You learn by experience about high voltage, and become a safer person, said junior Frank Gutierrez. I had a oil-filled capacitor blow up in my face, Ferrelladded, Iwas testing outacircuittosee what I like the challenge of taking a group of shots and making a final product . . . it gives me a feeling of power. -Scott Young, Senior was wrong with it. The students also study chapters from textbooks, and are free to choose a project to build that is related to the topic being covered. This reinforces the reading, Calderon said, not only do we read about it, we do it. In district competitions this year, Calderon had five students enter projects, all of which landed first place, and all went to state competitions. Construction also equips students with valuable skills,andinstructorloseph Drapersays, our main purlpose is to cover five trade areas and help give stu ents entry level skills in that profession. ' Among the areas covered are, carpentry, electrical, painting, plumbing, masonry, and cement finishing, in which students learn blueprint reading, tool identification and useage, sheetrocking, roofing, and framing, but above all, shop safety. Mostofthestudentprojects are ofa group nature, andattimes take them off-campus todosuch things as build storage sheds for local residents. Room 334 is no ordinary vocational classroom, and isn't filled with ordinary students. The room is packed with roughly 560,000 of equipment and supplies, has its own studio, sound room, lighting fascilities, etc. And the students? Perhaps the directors, producers, and comera men and women of tomorrow. The two-hour Media courses, taught by and originated by Don Lawson, are definitely some of the most professionally oriented and operated anywhere. Students acquire skills and experience in every aspect of film production, including camera QI Senior Mark Ferrell uses a soldering gun on a project in his Industrial Electronics class. Ferrell believes that the course benefits college-bound students that are interested in electronics in that they have acquired more skills and knowledge than those never having been exposed to the course. operation, recording, editing, studio operations, directing, lighting, scripting, set design, photography, cinematology, slideltape, and audio production. I like editing vidio, commented Senior Scott Young, it's time consuming and everyone else hates it, but I enjoy it. I like the challenge of taking a group of shots and makingafinal product. . .itgivesmeafeeling of power, Young said. The course is offered to juniors and seniors with the approval of Lawson and the vocational counselor, and since Media is a rapidly changing field, no textbooks are used, but students learn by doing. 76-14 ' IW 12,3- 3 2 . ,,,, A... , L, A... ,Nw.,,,. mf: is as -3 so if , ,K Qs SX X tg X X if QQ X ,X is s ai R 3 1 Young edlts video ln learn every aspect of video production while working with state-of-the-art ,..-xl Junior Mike Murray in the sound room of the Industrial Media room directs the crew below in the studio. 24 so he M 6 Z r ... 5 rf M i i a n Q f gi, - I '.,,v V I ,V1'1,,1, i A W wr- : f1f'5?H ' .

A51-.s, 79 Varsity baseball earns district runner-up honors in 13-5 season by Elaine Newman The Maroons wrapped up the baseball season by losing to the District 25AAAAA champion Buccaneers in two straight games of a state first-round series, settling for the District 26AAAAA runner-up position. The Maroons were 20-10 for the year and 13-5 in district competition. They played the 24-4 Bucs Tuesday night, May 8, in the first of a best-of-three series. Despite the Bucs' formidable lineup the Maroons took the lead in the second inning when senior Chris Clark punched a double into right field. Then senior Lane Brindey came through with the RBI single. Showing their strength, the Bucs came back in the third scoring three runs. Preventing a blowout in the fourth, Pick-off artist, Steve Cantu, nabbed four base runners and then later in the fifth a missed base by a Buc runner prevented at least two more runs from being scored. Although entering the sixth with a score of 3-1, Brazoswood scored another run and their awesome right hander's arm pervailed to make it a four and one ballgame. He was by far the best pitcher we faced all year, commented junior first baseman, Brent Covert. Later that week on Thursday, the Maroons were key RBI hits by White, Cantu, and Clark, we defeated Crockett, he said. The Maroons were victorious over Lanier March 22, a game that decided who would be included in the first place bracket tied with Travis and Johnston. The Maroons scored three runs in the first inning and held the Vikings scoreless to a 3-0 finish. According to Hancock and team members, the significance of this game was due partially to the fact that last year, the Maroons played Lanier under similar circumstance - losing the last year and watching the season go downhill. This year players were determined not to fall victim to downhill season once again. Every game is a big game although because we were defeated in the same situation last year the Lanier game was definitely the biggest game of the season, explained Hancock. This year we had this flast year's defeatl in the back of our minds and were determined not to let it happen again, Clark said. The Maroons then went on to defeat LBJ where SFA rallied for two runs in the fifth inning with Mark Ezell scoring the winning run. Following the Maroons' twelfth victory they were upset 6-5 in a poorly played game against Johnston resulting in the loss of the Maroon's First place title. The Maroons recovered from this defeat to slide past Anderson, 5-4 in a close and almost lucky . . . The Lanier game was definitely the biggest game of the season. -Coach Tom Hancock eliminated from the state playoffs when once again they fell victim to a powerful Brazoswood team. The final score in the ballgame was 9-5. We played extremely poor defense and they hit the ball at the right time, explained head coach Hancock. Despite the Maroons' poor performance against Johnston, where they were defeated 6-5, the Maroons went on to beat Anderson 5-4 in a close game, bumping the Maroons back into first place along with Travis and Lanier. By April 2, the Maroons stood 5-2 in district play and 13-4 overall. After placing third in the AISD Tournament where Steve Cantu and Russell White took All Tournament Honors, the Maroons defeated Travis behind Steve Cantu's five-hit pitching and Kevin Holder's game winning RBI single. Next, the Maroons went on to lose their fourth game of the season in a error filled game to McCallum despite a one strikeout performance by Dan Eichler, explained head coach Hancock. After losing to McCallum the SFA boys came back to defeat Westwood 11-10 in non-district play, coming from behind a strong Round Rock team, Hancock said. In this contest Hancock feels Russell White's and Chris Clark's performances had a major effect upon the outcome of the ballgame. Russell White picked up the win and also was three for five at the plate and Chris Clark was five for five with 4 RBI's, he said. Later, with the 3-0 defeat over Crockett, March 20, Hancock once again cited White and Clark along with Cantu and Eichler for their performances. Behind the one hit pitching of Dan Eicher and victory. In this game White and Ezell led the hitting attack with sophomore Jason Heironimus bringing in the winning run on a squeeze bunt in the fifth inning. The varsity baseball team returned from the Houston-Spring Branch baseball tournament with a 3-1 record in early March. The Maroons started strong by beating Conroe 9-0 in their first game on March lst. But the next day they were defeated by Stratford-Dulles in a tight 9-8 game. But after that, the Maroons put together a strong defense and a good offense to beat Scarborough 11-7 and Lamar Consolidated 11-4. Those victories secured a sixth place berth out of 16 teams in the tournament. Head coach Tom Hancock said, It was a really good tournament. We hit the ball well, played good defense and played pretty good ball all the way around. Coach Del Moberg said, I was proud to see our team play the way they did. They got a lot of much needed experience in Houston. Brent Covert, Steve Cantu, Chris Clark, Russell White, and Monte and Mark Ezell all batted over 300. Over all, the team hit 336 for the tournament. Although Cantu lost one game, he pitched excellently. He was much better than any other pitcher we faced, said Moberg. It's kind of ironic, said sophomore Jason Heironimus, that the sixth place team, Austin High, had a record of3 and 1, while the fourth place team had a record of 2 and 2. I guess the tournament was just scheduled kind of funny. r J ' -f gf 3,4 A A I. P .. - f , .W f , ' 'f.- i? ?l5F5Ymz,,'gs,-Qiim ...s, .. .q. . t f ff ,, mia.. --.- ... -Q... Y if vw, . ,,- .

Sf Varsity basketball ends season tied for 3r JV and freshmen have up and down seasons he boys' 1984 Varsity Basketball team finished quite an impressive year, tying for a respectable third place with the Lanier Vikings. Wrapping up the season four places higher than they were picked, the Maroons posted an overall record of 18-13 and 10-8 in district competition. They were a scrappy, hardworking team that played like they meant it, said head coach David Patrick, and because of this we certainly won more games than I expected. Leadin the Maroons to a third place title was 6'2 senior uard ansftop vote getter for second team all-district, Mike ?ones who led the Maroons in scoring with 14.3 points per a game. Sharing the responsibility of leadership along with jones was senior team captain, Willie Walls, and 6'1 ' senior and third team all-district player, Eddie Harris. Seniors Ioe Coe, Paul Iohnston, and Frank Shealy, juniors Doug Lancaster, Brian Smith, and Darrell Ta lor, and sophomore Kevin Ruffcorn who also took an All-District honor as co-sophomore of the year along with Fredrick Satterwhite of Travis also played a major role in attaining the team's third place title. It wasn't one or two specific people, said Iohnston, We all worked hard to achieve our success. In preparing for the season, Patrick noted that a lot of sacrifice went into playing varsity basketball. Workouts began November first, both before and after school, including over the Christmas holidays except for the five days in which the UIL prohibits practice, explained Patrick. In the first half of district competition the Maroons recorded a promising 6-3 record. Despite losing their first district game to Crockett the Maroons came back to win their next two games against Lanier and LBJ. Then in their next game against Johnston, the eventual second place finishers, the Maroons came out to take the halftime lead 26-24 butin the third quarter the Rams pulled off14points, compared to the Maroon's eight to make it their ball ame. After the disappointing loss to Johnston the Maroons dominated the floor to win their next three ballgames against Anderson, San Marcos and Reagan. However, in their next game against Travis, the eventual district that could beat any team on any particular night. These guys, in fact, were a real pleasure to coach pecause o the way they hustled each game, win or ose. Without doubt, the I,V. basketball team had plenty of talented players. Sharpshooter Ned Sherman led all I.V. scorers with 284 points and a 15.6 average while Scott Montgomery was the second leading scorer with 205 total points and an 11.38 scoring average. Scott Montgomery, according to Sanders, was also the most improved player during the season. Other scorers with more than one hundred points during the eighteen-game season were Eric Meissner with 131 points and a 7.3 average, Danny Ford with 130 points and a 7.2 average and Randy Tolbert importance of teamwork, said Coach Sanders. I felt confident each game that the team would play hard enough to provide an opportunity to win. We were a team who scored 102 points while averaging 5.7 points per game. Other talents displayed by the Iunior Varsity team were the combined rebounding efforts of Eric Meissner and Randly Tolbert who led the team in total rebounds. In addition to the scoring and rebounding, quick Danny Sustaita led the team in steals and assists. As a team, the junior Varsity basketball team only allowed 1242 points on the season, 59.4 a game, while they scored 1242 on the season and 59.2 a game. The turning point of the season came with eight games remaining, when two starters were out of the lineup due to illness, and the team still came from behind to defeat Lanier by a margin of sixteen points in a 65 to 49 win. Austin High fans should look forward to watching next year's Varsity team because of the upcoming talent from this Iunior Varsity team. So, keep an eye out for such players as Ned Sherman, Scott Montgomery and Danny Sustaita to lead the Varsity team to victory next year! Despite losing seven of their first ten games, the freshman basketball team, coached by Ierry Stoeckle and Chris Sato, emerged to respectability by defeating half of their last ten opponents. Like the junior varsity team, the freshman team had many ups and downs while maintaining a dismal record of eight wins and twelve losses. They were a scrappy, hardworking team who played like they meant it. - David Parick champions, the Maroons were defeated. After the Travis defeat the Maroons, aided by Ruffcorns 16 points, recorded yet another win. In the second half of district play the Maroons took a turn for the worse, winning only four of their remaining ballgames. Austin defeated Crocket, Anderson, San Marcos, and McCallum. Despite a strong showing against Crocket the Maroons went into a slump, losing their next three games to Lanier, LBI, and to Iohnston in a controversial game in which Iohnston supposedly hit their winning point after the buzzer sounded. Coming outoftheirslumpthe Maroonscompleted their season sweep over Anderson and San Marcos, defeating both teams by more than 15 points. After recording their ninth win of the season the Maroons were defeated in their next two games against Reagan and Travis. Looking for the tenth win of the season, the Maroons lead Reagan 42-41 in the third quarter, however a cold fourth quarter by Austin shooters made it Reagan's ballgame. After the Reagan defeat Austin once again fell victim to a consistant Travis team despite jones' 24 points. Finishing their season on a good note, Maroon ballplayers defeated McCallum for the second time, in their final district ballgame. Throughout the 1983-84 basketball season, the Austin High junior Varsity basketball team endured many ups and downs. The season started outverv slowly with a mere two wins while compiling seven losses. But, the I.V. basketball team turned their whole season around by winning six of the last nine games, and their last three games in a row. Coach Lynn Sanders said, The team really wanted to learn and seemed to enjoy the season. Many of this team's members will go on to play a major role in the success that the varsity team will receive in the next two ears. y Despite the topsy-turvy season and ending up with a record of 8 wins and 10 losses, the team really did begin to play better, since the players gained a more confident attitude. During the season the players learned some of the basic elements of fundamentals from the beginning of school on. They were also very unselfish and learned the However, there are a number of bright spots for future junior varsifiy and varsity teams. The brightest of these spots, accor ing to Coach Sato, are center Zack Harmon and point guard Mike Kelley. Sato considers Harmon as being a dominating center Who can score a lot of points and grab a lot ofreboundsf' Harmon, who scored 19 points in the last game of the season against McCallum, was also the improved players of the team as well as the leading scorer of the team with 191 total points and a 7.7 average per game. Mike Kelley is described as being a spark plug by Sato because of his quickness, court awareness and enthusiasm. f'Although Kelley didn't score many points, he kept people hustling. When Kelley was on the floor, things always seemed to pick up, He was a motivator, said Sato. Kelley, however, was not much of a scoring threat while averaging a mere 3.4 points a game. Other players expected to provide quality basketball in the future are Eric Packwood who averaged 7.6 points per game, Reid Witliff who averaged 9.3 points per game, tall Burk Collins who averaged 4.4 points a game and streakish Tim Bande Streak who averaged 4.4 points per game. At the beginning of the season the freshman team seemed to have talent as well as a good size, but it lacked a very important factor since it didn't have speed and quickness. However, as the season grew older, the team improved quite a bit and gained much more self-confidence. One factor that played a major part in the tennis record was that it lost many games by very small margins. Lots of games could have gone either way, said Sato about this problem. A few of these games were the 46-49 loss to LBJ and the 44-47 loss to Travis. You can always be pleased with improvement like this team gave, said Sato about the team. Of course everybody wants to win, but by being a freshman coach, I just want to see constant improvement. In contrast to Sato's statement, freshman guard Reid Witliff stated that We had a good season. We have good players and if we work hard and play as a team in the future, we'll be a lot better. These things take time and hopefully we'll improve a lot during the next three years. I reall on't think I'll be satisfied until we win. We are capable of doing real well. l e I 32 .... . --VV N 5 .

Ancinec feels that she is neither tougher or easier on the team than former varsity coach, Iean Owen. The varsity team practiced everyday from 3:00 until 5:45. During the practices the girls did many drills aimed at skill development. In the early part of the season about 7521 of their practice time was reserved for improving shooting skills. Later in the season the time was reduced to about 45 minutes a day. The girls had to follow rules, not only on but off the court as well. stated Ancinec. They are not allowed to use drugs, including alcohol. They're not allowed to fail any academic class. Four of the six players were on the honor roll. The players can not participate in games if they have suspension, or if they are late to practice. Although they practiced very hard, the team still lost all of their games. Ancinec explained one reason that the team failed to score, We ran out of time before we could win. The factor of time can be seen in the score of the game on Dec. 7: Austin 46, McCallum 48. Ancinec stated, We were a very young team. We lacked shooting ability, speed, experience, and age. The team consisted of three sophomores, one junior, and two seniors. Looking at the scores it seems like the team had a bad year, but alot was gained. Ancinec said, I think we had a good year, because we stuck together, nobody quit, nobody gave up. The girls had team spirit. They were very supportive of each other, both on and off the court. stated Ancinec. In some games the team played only five girls with no substitute. Ancinec said, Team spirit is hard to keep when your losing, while it's easy when your winning. The varsity players were: Bianca Warnsley sophomore, Karal Feilds sophomore, Gena Caudle sophomore, Yvonne Henderson senior, Iohanna Oliver junior, Martelle Luedecker-Klier senior, Elaine Shealy senior. The IV team had a rather good year, winning ten of the 16 games they played. Coach, Iean Owen said these girls worked very hard and were self motivating. This showed in the scores produced by the players. In their first game against Travis, they won with a score of 49 to 33. The best game the team played was against Travis. They ran over Travis winning by a score of 41 to 15. During three of the games most of the players had the flu. Owen said, This group was the most enjoyable team I've coached in my five years at Austin High. The IV players wereg Charvelle Carothers sophomore, Connie Cantu sophomore, Angie Atkins freshman, Elizabeth Hrin sophomore, Cythia Maner sophomore, Deanna Serna soph- omore, Yuonne Hill freshman, Kristin Iones freshman, Kelly Herrera sophomore, Iackie Keaton sophomore, Ruthanne Betts freshman. The ninth grade team played 18 games winning four and losing 14. The girls really worked hard and they gained a lot of experience, stated Coach Tere Ramirez. Ramirez said that she feels the girls needed more time to practice, but that they will improve in time for IV. Even though the record doesn't show it, they're real winners,'7 stated Ramirez. The team consisted of eight players: Stacey Oliver, Rachel Peterson, Becca Gober, Tammy Tolbert, Nicole Nugent, Valencia Walker, Debbie h.,.,-,.,,.asram-+ i ' N!! r MM, ,...... .ri c.. . -f A I C H .

Varsity gridsters post 3-7 season record The Varsity Maroons wrapped up the 1984 season with three wins and seven losses. The first district game of the season, played Sept. 9, resulted in a 14-8 victory over the Travis Rebels. Because of the outstanding play by the Maroons, 24-Action News presented the team the Team of the week award. This was a good game, played together as a team, commented varsity coach Bill Harper. Senior quarterback Mike Marek, who was the district player of the week for his passing performance against Travis, said, 1 want to give credit to our offensive line for their performance against Travis, which enabled me to throw the two touchdown passes. The next game for SFA ended in a 28-6 loss to a stronger McCallum team. The loss came due mostly to the lack of performance by the defensive team. The only other wins for the Maroons came on Oct. 13 against Iohnston, 24-14, and to San Marcos, 20-0, on Oct. 28. Harper said of the Iohnston victory, It was a good team effort. We played as a team and that's the trick. We thought we were the better team on the field. We've thought that several times but it just didn't happen. Everything worked, said Kent Obenhaus, senior. Against San Marcos there was no contest. Austin outplayed the Rattlers everywhere on the field. Coach Harper said that this was our best game of the season. Though the team was disqualified after Harper broke a UIL rule stating that a player cannot play twice during the same week, the effect was minimal. One problem this year was the lack of a kicker. That hurt us early in the season. It was mid-season before we made an extra point, explained Harper, junior Brent Covert kicked the only field goal of the year, 40 yards, during the ,Iohnston game. Harper explained the mediocre season by saying, The main problem was depth. We had key players early in the year that were not able to condition well. That hurt us. Injuries this season were relatively few including sophomore Mark Brindley with a broken collarbone causing him to miss about the first seven games. junior Kenneth Black suffered a separated shoulder which put him out for the last four games of the season. Mark Ferrell was out for the first half of the season. Five of the 1983 season varsity players received district honors. Senior Mark Ferrell, second team offensive guard, Iesse Castro, second team center, Kent Obenhaus, honorable mention tight end, Earl Kinard, honorable mention running back, Chuck Coffman, also honorable mention running back, and Kent Obenhaus, second team defensive end. Defensive strong points for the 1984 varsity season were Mike Martine, Kenneth Black, Kent Obenhaus, and Mark Ferrell. Two of the brightest spots for the Maroons this year were junior Chuck Coffman and junior Earl Kinard. Coffman rushed for 805 yards and Kinard scrambled for 665 yards. The Varsity battle against McCallum resulted in a disappointing 28-6 loss for the Maroons. 86 -Adflezfzeife-Ywdell 5 W l V w l L L r w i l r I l Eg: Frishman, number 20, tackles LBJ opponent while Derek Bateman, number 75, observes the play.

The confusion ended in an exciting victory over McCallum for the Freshman football team. 87 Freshman and JV teams improve The goal of the junior varsity season was, in the words of Coach Billie Porter, creating the process of developing the athletes into varsity material. Toward the end of the season the freshman team showed a great deal of improvement explained Coach Chris Sato. The freshman Austin vs. McCallum game was hard fought. The Maroons scored early in the first quarter and late in the first half. This early scoring allowed the defensive team to show their skills by preventing further scoring by McCallum. ' 'Lo In the junior Varsity season, the leading quarterback of the season, Danny Sustaita was lost when he moved up to the Varsity team. The junior Travis Barton aria 844 Kyle Binaseil ' Varisty player who improved the most in the eyes of Porter was sophomore Joseph Powe who was instrumental in the wins over Anderson and San Marcos. Powe, toward the end of the year, showed the most promise to go on to the Varsity Team next year. Other outstanding players of the Iunior Varsity season include sophomore wing back Treg Hudson, sophomore center Greg Zumwalt and junior fullback Avery Moore. The defensive strong points for the 1983 freshman season include Zach Harmon at linebacker, Bruce Butler at rover and Burke Collins at tackle. Ierome Ford rushed for approximately 780 yards and Lewis McDonald rushed for The Maroons Varsity game by Will Miller approximately 570 yards. Injuries this year were kept to a bare minimum with Dirk Bauer of the freshman team suffering a broken ankle. Coach Porter explained the poor 1-9 season by saying, They don't learn how to play in junior High, how can you expect them to play well in High School until they have learned the fundamentals of the game. You don't just hand a man a gun and tell him to send him to war, you have to train him. It takes time, We need to upgrade our junior High programs, he said. are resulted in a win e as - 14 fanciful! vii!

There are so many variables involved in playing golf, you really have to approach the game mentally alert and aware to be successfully competitive. The season ended for the team with the District tournaments in April where the team was disappointed with a third place showing behind Crockett and Travis who advanced to Regional competition. The District results came as a somewhat unexpected surprise to the team, which had anticipated a strong second place finish behind the favored Crockett team. The Austin High golf team has had a winning season for as long as I can remember, coach Bowman said in the March 9th issue of the Maroon. Thisyearisn'treallyanexception. . .for the first time in twelve years we didn't accomplish our goal of advancing to Regional competition, but the season excluding District was pretty successful. Our team is very mature and experienced, and certainly had the potential necessary to excell at District. We just had a bad day. The wheels fell off the second day of competition, and everything just fell apart, Bowman continued. That happens There are so many variables involved in playing golli you really have to approach the game mentally alert and aware to be successfully com- petitive. - Charles Bowman, golf coach Junior Anthony Peterman concentrates on a putt on the Municipal Golf Course sometimes. The boys were really under a lot of pressure, and handled it very well. We did have a bad day, team member Anthony Peterman explained. I played well all year, but played some poor rounds at the wrong time. It was a bad day for just about everyone. We didn't play up to our potential. Senior team member Brett Warren shared a similar opinion. We were leading by five strokes the first day of District competition, and lost it all the second day. It was a bad day at the wrong time. The District competitors were all evenly matched going into District, Bowman said. Statistically speaking, we were a great team, with the potential to be city champs. District is played hole by hole. . .strokes aren't counted. We would have won all of our tournaments in stroke match pla . 5We knew Crockett would come out on top, junior Brian Peterman commented. We thought McCallum would be our toughest competitor for the number two position at District, but McCallum fell apart and Travis beat us out for second. That was the worst McCallum ever played, coach Bowman said. Travis played the best they had ever played. That's simply the nature of the game. There are too many things involved in golf to ever make an accurate prediction of a tournament. Anything can happen. We played better in the out-of-town tournaments than we did at home, Brian Peterman remarked. In the San Antonio Invitational, the team placed ninth out of forty teams competing, and sixth of forty teams at the Greater Fort Worth Recreational Invitational.

If we all take District next year. The next three years will be all Austin High, coach Bowman forcasted.

I Austin girls do well in golf tourneys by Chris Damon The Austin High girls golf team celebrated a moderately successful season in golf this year, placing well in such prestigious tournaments as District, Region, and AISD Girls' Invitational, and the Seguin Girls' Invitational Tournament at Max Starke Park, March 7. Fall golf was dedicated to round robin practice against other Austin teams, a schedule designed to strengthen the team for the challenging schedule in the Spring. Of 20 participants, Austin High's Elizabeth Turley, junior, won fourth place medalist in the District tournaments played March 26 at Lions Municipal golf course, and March 27 at the Morris Williams course here in Austin. lil Balander, captain of the team of five, received similarly a distiguished seventh place medal for her golf prowess demonstrated in the same tournament. The team, coached by biology teacher Melisa Thompson, received a sixth place rating early this Spring in the AISD Girl's Invitational February 16, and 17, and a seventh place rating received for their We should really be strong next year. All the girls will be returning, and we are expecting a few really skilled freshmen as well. - Coach Melisa Thompson facilty in the Seguin Girls' Invitational at Seguin's Max Starke Park March 7. We should be a really strong team next year, coach Thompson said. All the girls will be returning, and we are expecting a few really skilled freshmen as well. We will win District next year, junior Elizabeth Turley predicted. Our team will have a lot more experience next season, and' we will be really strong.

We did very well this year, girls coach Lois Morris commented. We were a young team with little previous experience, and although we lost our first two meets, we went undefeated in the final six. Off season for the girls takes place during the entirety of the Fall semester, from Sept. to Dec., allowing the team precious time to prepare for the intense competition in the Spring. Endurance is gained through tumbling, trampoline exercises, and practicing compulsoriesf' coach Morris explained. There are also calesthenics to develope strength in the total body. Flexability is improved by a stretc sequence. We begin practice on individual optional routines, and new skills in the Fall semester. Girls competition began in Janua and ended in April, consisting of a compulsory season Zvompetition is based on set, required routinesj held in january and February, and an optional season fgirls perform original routinesj held in the months of March and April. The season culminates with a district meet held in April where the girls must perform a compulsory and an optional We were a young team with little previous experience, and although we lost our first two meets, we went undefeated in the final six. - Coach Lois Morris routine. This team was defeated by only one Austin school . . . Lanier, coach Morris said. This held true for both optionals and compulsoriesf' Serious district contenders were McCallum, Lanier, Austin High, and Crockett. These teams were similar talent-wise, coach Morris stated. Weaker teams in the district were LBJ, Travis, and Anderson. The team finished fifth of twelve competitors at the Regional meet in April. Given the stiff competition from Round Rock and San Antonio, this was a good finish for the season, Morris said. Austin High offers a superior gymnastics program to other comparable high schools in the area, coach Morris explained. We are the only school with an experienced coach for both boys and girls organizations. Other schools have one coach for both groups, or a coach that instructs two schools. Only one other Austin school has a real gymnastics gym . . . LBI. Of the seven team members currently on the team, only three will be returning to the team next year. Only three members will be returning next year, so the future will be shaped by our ability to replace these losses with quality gymnasts, Morris said. Tryouts for the gymnastics team are held shortly after school begins in Sept., and Coach Morris points out that prior experience is necessary. The class meets during first period, which often requires team members to be willing and able to practice before school. Morris says that although there are presently seven members on the team, she can accomodate at least three more players. The season as a whole was a 'high', since the girls turned their season around after the second meet, coach Morris said.

We have our peaks and valleys, said Bill Glover, coach of the varsity and junior varsity soccer teams. The Maroons ended their season with a record of 5-4-3. They had been expected to do better. lf the team plays three-fourths as well as last year they will be a strong teamf', explained Gloven. Austin opened their season with a win against Westwood C1-OJ but went downhill from there. The next game against Reagan Q2-33 they lost. They did better the next game and tied Crockett C0-OJ. They then had a two game slump against Round Rock 10-23 and Travistl-2J, but bounced back against McCallum Q4-OJ. They then lost to Westlake Q2-41 and tied Georgetown C2-21 and Iohnston C0-OJ. Austin won its final game against Anderson C1-OJ. Coach Glover said there were really two team highs this year, when they beat Westwood, district champs, and tied Crockett, the second place team. junior Greg Hale said the team was optimistic going against Westwood but did not think they would win. We felt great. We probably wouldn't win but we were gonna play all out anyway, Hale commented. Senior captain Robert George said they probably won against Westwood because they were expected to lose. George said, In our game against Westwood the deciding factor was our attitude. We came into the game knowing thatwe were expected to getkilled,and asaresult ln our game against Westwood the deciding factor was our attitude. We came into the game knowing that we were expected to get killed, and as a result we had a more relaxed attitude. - Robert George, 12 If we had a more relaxed attitude. I-le added that the defense was a deciding factor in the game. We also changed our defensive so they weren't ready for our set. lt was an overall team effort with an outstanding effort by the defense. stated George. The other high point for the team was beating number two Crockett. The team psyched itself up to win since Crockett had beaten them earlier in the season. In the Crockett tie we were keyed up because we had lost to them earlier in the season , said George. The Maroon defense was a deciding factor in tying Crockett. George added, Once again the defense played an exceptional game . The last game of the Maroon season was against Anderson. Senior Captain George felt that it was a very important game, Another game which l felt was important was the Anderson game. It was the last game of the season and it 1 .,... , ff wi 'We G il'0 ' 1041- rwriif -me Senior team captain, Robert George is carried off the field in a Varsity game.

We played an excellent team game and came out victorious, stated George. The Maroons did not play as well as they had been expected to this year. Glover said that it was not a good season, but it was also not a bad season, just average . Although our over all district record was 5-4-3, I don't think that it reflects how good we were. In most of our games we lost by close scores because the defense held their own until the end of the games, but we had no offense. We held many teams to just one or two goals but we didn't have the offensive threat to win, concluded George. The IV soccer team had an exceptional season, winning mostoftheirdistrictand non-districtgames.They finished the season tied for second with Anderson. Sophomore full-back, Scott Brovsky sa1d, We had a fairly good season, but it was disappointing when we lost the chance to go to the playoffs by a coin toss with Anderson. He continued, We have the talent and potential to help form a good varsity team next year. Sophomore half-back Andy Immroth said, We had a strong freshman interest this year which will provide a strong varsity team in years to come. The IV team members were: Phillip Cannatti, Roger Herr, Mark Blacklock, Allen Brady, Nhan Nguyen, Andy Immroth, Chris Beiter, Javier Van Wisse, Arnulto Cano, Iohn Spears, Tyrone Yule, David Shultz, David Richey, Enrique Breceda, Scott Brovsky, Michael Peterson, Stirling Robertson, Mark Kaluzny. ,98-fqlhlelieilliaqa 8 l Junior Patrick Bradshaw goes up for a head shot as Tulio Browning 317 and Greg Hale watch.

The team participated in the AISD tournament on Ian. 12 beginning their season. They were defeated in both their games by a 2-0 margin. At the tournament they played both Georgetown and St. Stephens. On Ian. 24 they played Reagan at Nelson field but fell to a bitter defeat to the Raiders. Feb. 7 they defeated McCallum by a 4-2 margin. Scorers were Cyndi Byrd with two, Chris Ritter with one, and Sara Welch with one. On Feb. 21, Georgetown defeated SFA again, but Chris Ritter did score a point for the team. On March 9, Cydni Byrd scored a point against Anderson, but the goal wasn't enough to take a win. Iunior forward Cydni Byrd was the leading scorer of the season with a total of four goals. Senior forwardlhalfback Chris Ritter ran a close second with two goals, and senior Sara Welch scored one goal. Freshman goliefforward Leah Treadwell said that the teams losses may be due to them not having much playing time befdre their games. Freshman fullbacklhalfback Debbie Allen, said, 'fwe didn't work as a team before a game. Coach Margaret Ferrell said that the team had three players who improved tremendously during the season. The players were Cyndy Goodrich, Sara Welch, and Debbie Allen. Sara and Cyndy are seniors and will not be back next year. Ferrell said, They developed some good soccer sense and picked up many soccer skills. Ferrel added that Sara and Cyndy were helpful in keeping spirits high in a lack luster season. Many of the players said their losses were due to inexperience and limited practice time. Chris Ritter and Casey Turner also agreed that their bad season was due to the small amount of players they had. Chris said, we didn't have a full team of either 13 or 14 players, so ifthree players were not there or got called out because of fouls we didn't have a chance. She also said that in some games they had to play one person short. All the players agreed that they did have a great time even though they didn't win every single game they played. The players were as follows: Emily Ayres, Cyndy Goodrich, Debbie Mueller, Kristin Otto, Chris Ritter, Dawn Smith, Mary Stanley, Sara Welch, Cydni Byrd, Pidge Smith, Casey Turner, Sara England, Debbie Allen, Erin Kent, and Leah Treadwell.

Eight seniors left the team last year, coach Steve Warren explained. ','They were the mainstay of the team, and their leaving just wiped us out. We did very well this year, considering we lost half the team to graduation last year, senior team member Charles Moody said, We still carried on the Austin High tradition of success. We haven't lost a game in the four years I've played on the team. This is only my second year as coach, so I really Last year's team was very mature due to the unusual number ofseniors on the team, but with so much youth on this team, SFA will be really strong for at least the next 3 years. - Coach Steve Warren can't compare the team to previous years, coach Warren said. I can say that we are a very young team, yet very successful, competitively speaking. The top four players on the team, William Dopson, Scott McClellan, Richard Dopson, and Iohn Hernandez, are sophomores, and a freshman, respectively. Age doesn't appear to be a factor when it comes to this team. Although the prominent leaders are underclassmen, they are among the top in the city, and in some cases, the state. A lot of the young players on the team started playing tennis years ago at Westwood Country Club, and were already accomplished players by the time they got to junior high, Moody said. They have a lot more skill and experience than most of the other competitors in the Austin area, and have, therefore, little serious competition. A great deal of the tennis teams successes are due to the excellentjunior program that Westwood Country Club offers, and the availability of other courts and country clubs in our district, girls varsity tennis coach Barbara Behne explained. Experience is what it's all about, sophomore Richard Dopson said, Dopson, a State finalist, had attended Iohn Newcombe's tennis training program in New Braunfels with his brother and sister during the last six weeks of the 1983 Fall semester. There's more competition at Newks Uohn Newcombe'sThe Competitive Edgeythatyou can't find in Austin, Richard said. Newks is a really good place to go to gain a lot of experience. Richard and his twin brother William, made for a strong duo on the SFA team. In doubles play, they advanced to state to take the number two position in Texas. ...X .tx Junior Mickey Scott completes a back-handed return while preparing for district round robin play last Fall. We worked as hard as we could at state, Richard recalled. We were all sophomores, and our competitors were all seniors. They beat us with experience. The Dopsons lost three sets at the state competitions, falling short of the prestigious State title by one point. The team performed extremely well without the aid of the Dopson brothers during their brief absence from Austin High round robin play in the Fall. It was significant that the SFA boys' team won all of the dual matches it played without the Dopsons, coach Warren remarked. It was a good confidence builder for the rest of the team to see that we could win without the Dopsons. However, because of their return, Austin High will certainly go to Regionals, and quite possibly to State. And so they did. The Regional competitions in May saw the three SFA sophomore tennis leaders striving together for , a common goal, qualifying for State. Sophomore Scott McClellan fell short of realizing his goal by a solitary round, after defeating the top seed Lamar May during the latter stages of the Regional competitions. The Dopson brothers were more fortunate, and swept the Regionals to advance to State competition, where they were deprived of the title by a group from Lubbock's Coronado High School, losing three sets with an averaged score of 6-3. No other doubles team came as close to defeating Bloom and Rutledge fmembers of the Coronado teamj as Richard and William did, coach Warren was quoted in the May 18 issue of the Maroon as having remarked of that game. Both teams were playing really well, and Richard's serve was overwhelming, it kept them in the match. Both teams played practically flawless tennis. The other team was just a little more calm and experienced. -A 1 a ,t ' ' f.giQg-1..7.1,- K ' : ts' . up f -' a it ft .kiwi 'skit f'3'.v.?X5b.'Y?.,Q-6-ctstefiswetgsgwk.-,- -453415 init' 'gmt . -- ...mf A ti. .0 ze. ,. t. if f.

Extra Practice Pays Off For Girls' Tennis Team Despite absence of Dopson, girls earn district title with best ever season by Chris Damon ith several of Austin High's more noted and experienced tennis leaders away or preoccupied at the season opening, the girls varsity team endeavored to make up their brief loss of strength by commiting themselves to intense and rigorous training. The top players on the team are very dedicated, and put in many hours of their own time on the courts, with extra practice matches and private lessons to keep their skills sharp, said girls coach Barbara Behne. We all have to sacrifice many things to help carry on the SFA winning tradition in tennis. Through their team spirit and determination, the team gradually began to overcome their handicap. The extra hours of practice became very evident early in the season when the team decisively defeated McCallum with a score of 6 to 3 in the first tournament of the 1983 Fall season. The team this year should win District again, coach Behne was quoted as having said in the December issue of the Maroon. Her prediction soon became reality when, two months later, the team defeated both LBJ and McCallum to win the District title Oct. 15. Our matches were the best I'd ever seen anybody play, Behne said of that game. All of our players had to play alotof tennis, four full matches, and there were a lotofsplit sets. They'd go out there for two hours, rest for fifteen minutes, and then go back for more. This team does not seem to be bothered by tough competition, Behne remarked. I get nervous, but they don't!! The change in semester provided the team with more strength and momentum with the return of senior Diana Dopson, who had attended the '83 Fall semester at John Newcornbe's high schoolltennis The top players on the team are very dedicated, and put in many hours of their own time on the courts . . . we all have to sacrifice many things to help carry on the SFA winning tradition in tennis. - Coach Barbara Behne training program, the Competitive Edge, and junior Nancy Sanders, who had played volleyball for Austin High in the fall. The team is much stronger now with the return of Diana, who is number one in the state, and Nancy, who is a very strong number four on the team, Behne said. The added power has shown up especially in the out of town tournaments we have played in and done so well in. The team placed third in the AISD tourney, second in Victoria, and first in the Corpus Christi Invitationals, team totals Behne feels reflect a team that rates as the best l've had here in all of my eleven years of coaching. A large silver trophy awarded the team for their successes at the Corpus Christi Invitational March 25, verifies Behne's assertation. Diana won first place singles, and Laura Hudson and Becky Youman won first place doubles. Hudson and Youman have a good chance to win State in doubles, and Diana has a good chance to repeat as State singles champion, Behne said. Looking at this past season in retrospect, This is by far the best we've ever done, Behne said. Even with all of the great teams Austin High has had in the past. Diana Dopson, graduating senior and Texas tennis circuit cynosure, is the sole member of the 1984 varsity team Austin High will be forced to sacrifice to graduation this year. We will miss Diana greatly, because she is such a great inspiration to have on any team, Behne said. She is a fantastic tennis player, but also possesses the unique qualities of a team player. She is really an incredible, dynamic person. Diana has really been a pyschological asset to the team, mused varsity team member Becky Youman. We always knew we would do well in a tournament when Diana was playing. With several seniors thrown in for leadership, should really be very strong, Behne forecasted. Diana is the only senior on this years team, and 104-14 ' fqlybh-76664211 -' -,L H f I .ei i . is l 1 f n 1,ff u:f'IfEs-.1111 , if . f - f- l . M .,,, A ffm '1 , ,fegym 4, ',.v L.,f: M .

Nancy Sanders, Ellen Rathgeber, Marla Byers, and MaryAnne Thornhill will hopefully play a lot of tennis this summer. Then no one will be able to stop us anywhere we go in the state. This season will be hard to beat in terms of success, therefore I hate to see it go, Behne explained. I am looking forward to next year though, since we do have a good chance to do well again. As the team continues to evolve and grow, fresh members continuously rejuvenate the longivity of the team by replacing positions left by others. I like to see the incoming ninth-graders at tryouts, and figure out what kind of person, and what kind of tennis player they will be when they are seniors, Behne mused. Tryouts are for three days after school during the first week of school. I watch them execute all the shots, and play sets against each other to see how they handle themselves in stressful situations. I carry a maximum of twelve on the varsity team, Behne added. Junior Ellen Rathgeber returns a volley during a practice match after school. senior Diana Dopson returns service to her opponent during the semifinals of the District 25 5A Tennis Championships, Dopson was later selected to go to New York City to compete in the selection for the 1984 U.S. Summer Olympic Tennis Team. 105 Track and Cross Country teams have rebuilding year 4 I would consider this year a re- building year, said cross country coach Diana Farr about the 1983 cross country team. The Maroons, who had just come off a 1982 regional championship, suffered a 5th place in the 1983 District meet. 5th place really isn't all that bad if you consider that we lost all of our seniors from last year's team and had no seniors on this years squad, said junior Trey Hailey. The squad was able to take 5th place by a team effort aided by good performances from juniors David Larson and Ward jones. Larson finished 3rd in the District meet with a time of 15:54. Behind him came Jones finishing 29th and Ray Charro finishing 30th. The only team member to advance to regionals was Larson who finished 39th in the Regional meet with a time of 16:09. We did o.k. for such a young team, said Larson, I think with this experience under our belts we'll be better next year. We're all young, said Iones, and we were lacking experience, but even with those handicaps I think we pulled out an exceptional season. Other members of the team thatplaced in district were Russell Hill 36th, Trey Hailey 39th, Chris Villanueva 40th and Chris Weinstock 48th. All our athletes trained very hard, said Farr, and I saw improvement as the season progressed. The main thing about this years season was not our ranking but the fact that we all achieved personal goals, said Hailey, with hard work we'll be able to beat those goals by next year. I was also extremely pleased with this years Junior Varsity team, said Farr. The IV team finished a close third in the District meet. Sebastian Inhauser, a foreign exchange student from Switzerland who was not able to run on the varsity team because of UIL rules, finished first with a time of 17:15. Behind him was Antony Van Wisse 10th, Neal Tuttrup 14th, Roy Santos 20th and Mark Kalzuny 22nd. I was proud of the way the IV team trained and of the way they performed, said Farr. We did the best we could and ended up third, said Van Wisse, and if we work hard we'll be able to take first by next year. I was very impressed with the results of this year's season, said track coach Billy Porter. The Maroons had a respectable season finishing sixth in the District meet. In thatmeet David Larson finished third in the 800 meter run with his best time of 1:59.8. Larson also finished second in the 1600 meter run to qualify for regional competition. Richard Finley won the pole vault with his personal best jump of 13'6 . This qualified him for regionals. Herbie Mokarzal ran a 40.9 in the 300 intermediate hurdles to earn fifth place. In regional competition Larson ran a fast 4:31 1600 to nail down sixth place. Finley had a tough day and didn't have a vault of over 13'. I was very pleased with my performance at the regional meet, said Larson. Herbie was our most improved runner, said Porter, He went from a 45.0 300 hurdle to a 40.9 at the end of the season. This is an excellent improvement. ' I think we had a pretty good season, said Mokarzal, considering we were all running new events. We did our best and accomplished a lot. Besides a strong performance at the District meet the team put in a good showing at the Victoria Relays, Larson had an excellent meet winning both the 1600 and 3200 meter runs. Richard Finley finished third in the pole vault while Mokarzal wrapped up Junior David Larson finished 3rd in the District meet with a time of 15:54. He was the only Maroonyto advance to regionals. fifth in the 300 hurdles. The Maroons placedzfourth overall. I think we really had a good year. I was proud to see our team progress as they did. Hopefully we'll be able to better ourselves next year, said junior David Larson. We really worked hard this year and had fun too. It's easier to work hard when you're having fun, said senior Richard Finley. TheIuniorVarsity team also hadasuccessfulyear finishing 6th in the District meet. Duncan Barger finished first in the pole vault with a lofty jump of 11'. Thad Bynum took second in the same event with an equally good jump of 1 1'. The tie was broken by the number of attempted jumps each vaulter had had. The Maroons also did well in other events. joseph Poe earned a blue ribbon in the long jump with a jump of over 20' and the sprint relay team would have placed but dropped the baton and lost valuable time. I was pretty pleased with the JV team, said Porter, and I hope to make some good runners from it. We had a successful season, said sophomore Duncan Barger, We worked hard and did our best. The freshman team had an admirable season considering they only had seven team members They finished sixth in the District meet, We worked hard and earned a lot of respect, said freshman Zack Harmon. j Team members who placed were Burke Collins fifth in the shot-put and David Meyers fifth in the pole vault. I was very pleased with this season because some of the runners I have worked with for four years, It was a pleasure working with this group of young men. I like for a runner to train hard for competition, Portersaid. Each ofthe runners that remained in the program found out that hard work pays off. We bettered our times in almost every event we participated in. Also I think each of the runners learned to appreciate tough competition and the enjoyment of a great sport, track, he concluded. me - emi ewfwfvmf, Sebastian Inhauser X 'S 0168i e team District Champion, Richard Morrison catches the pole. 0V8f high bar as, Freshman, Hill Junior Trey Hailey placed 39th in the District meet. I0 Girls track, and cross country teams demonstrate improvement Track 4 I he team had an outstanding season. The team is still very young. There are mostly ninth and tenth graders. The team worked very hard throughout the year, and we look extremely promising for the next two years, stated Farr, girls track team coach. The girls track team is divided up into freshman, junior varsity, and varsity teams. According to Coach Farr, placement on each team is determined by ability or eligibility. Each track team is allowed to participate in eight track meets before the District meet. Austin High teams participated in two home meets and four out of town meets this season. The season was short and went pretty well. Most ofour team is younger, and because ofthatwe have a large varsity team. We didn't, as a whole, place all that much, but every person improved, commented Suzanne Schulze, junior and varsity team member. Girls Track II Thefirstmeetwasapractice meetheld atWestlake High School on February 16. The purpose of the meet was We didn't, as a whole, place all that much, but every person improved - Suzanne Schulze, 11 basically to prepare participants from Austin, Crockett, and Westlake High School for future meets. 'fThe meet was mainly just to get rid of the team's anxiety. It helped them to get use to such things as the starting blocks and competition from other schools. It was just like an extended workout, except we worked out with other schools, explained Coach Farr. The AISD Invitational, was the first district meet the teams participated in. Competetors in the meet included all AISD high schools and other 25AAAAA high schools from the surrounding area. It was the first meet where we were all nervous. Everyone did real well, because there isn't much competition among AISD schools, said Janice Meinzer, junior and varsity team member. Several of the team members agree tht the Blinn Relays in Brenham, Texas, was the most excruciating meet they participated in all season. The junior college in Brenham sponsors the meet. The meet is usually a competive, well run meet, because of all the participants from the surrounding Houston area. Girls Track III The Maroon team arrived in Brenham early, awaiting the preliminary runs. All ofa sudden it began to rain. The sky became cloudy, and extremely dark. All of us, who weren't warming up for the preliminary runs gotbaclc into the bus. Then it started raining so hard that we cou1dn't even see out of the bus. Several schools left because of the bad weather, explained Schulze. The boys and girls Cross Country teams watch as several SFA runners near the finish line in the District meet. About and hour and a half later the rain let up and the skies cleared. The Blinn Relays proceeded as usual, except that extra heats were run in each event, because preliminary runs were not held. Jenny Freeman, junior, placed second in the 3200 meter race and Gabrielle Van Wisse placed among the top four runners in the mile race. The two day District meet was held at Burger Center on April 5 and 6. In order to participate in the finals, held on Friday, participants had to place first or second in the preliminary runs. f'District is probably the most exciting meet, because it really counts. You're competing for something thatyou've been working for all year, said Caroline Kirksey, sophomore and varsity team member. Girls Track IV Van Wisse placed second in the 1600 meter race with a time of 5:32. Charella Caruthers placed third in the 800 meter run, and fourth in the 400 meter dash. In order to compete in Regionals a runner must place either first or second in her event. Van Wise was the only Maroon to compete in Regionals in Corpus Christi, Tx. I can't believe that I made it to Regionals. I tried so hard in District. I guess all of my efforts paid off, she said. Van Wisse placed sixth in the 1600 meter race, but she and the rest of the Maroons feel their season was worthwhile. We worked hard and we all improved. The season started out slow, but once we got started, we couldn't be stopped. I'm proud of our team, we really tried. Cross Country I would consider this a building year. The team always improves, but this year the girls did exceptionally well,' stated Coach Dianne Farr. The seven member Varsity team consisted of: Mary Stanley, Lynette Cano, and Gabrielle van Wisse, seniors, jenny Freeman and Suzanne Schulze, juniors, and Charvelle Carouthers, and Kathleen Guerra, sophomores. The two Iunior Varsity team members were Stacy Carlson and Lisa Simmons, seniors. The SFA girls Cross Country team members arrived at Austin High by 6:45 every morning during the season, in order to be on the Hike-n-Bike Trail and running by 7:00 a.m. A girls cross country team competes on a two mile course that often consist of open fields, hills, waterjumps, high grass, etc. The girls often found the going tough, added Farr. Girls Cross Country II The team started the year off by placing fourth in the AISD Invitational Meet on September 17. The meet included all 26AAAAA schools in the Austin and surrounding area. The top four runners of the meet were van Wisse, with a time of 12:53, Freeman, 13:40, Schulze, 14:35,and Guerra, 14:41. Stacy Carlson singularly placed 42nd with a time of 16:49 for the IV team. I think we placed pretty well considering that it was our first meet. There was a lot of good competition in the AISD meet this year. That caused us to try really hard, which prepared us for the future meets, commented Van Wisse. The next meet the girls competed in was the Gatesville meet held on September 21. The meet was open to all 26AAAAA teams in and around the area wishing to participate.Theteams mustreserveaspace forcompetition a month in advance. We ran on a really rough course. This meet was probably the mostcompetitive. The day, itself, didn't help. We had alot of wind pushing against us, said Carouthers. The team placed fifth in the Gatesville meet. Top placing runners were van Wisse, singularly placing fourth with a time of 11:52, and Freeman, 17th, with a time of 12:37. Carlson singularly placed 40th in the race with a time of 15:11. The JV team was unable to place, because of lack of runners. Girls Cross Country III The girls placed fourth in the San Marcos meet. Van Wisse singularly placed fifth, with a time of 12:56 and Freeman placed 7th with a time of 13:30. In the Round Rock meet, the SFA team placed third. Again with van Wisse and Freeman as the top placing 108- 04044 0 I '7aafck runners for the Austin High team. The District meet, held on October 28, determined which teams would qualify for Regionals. 'fThe all around competition went very well. The day was hot and bright with very little wind. We couldn't have asked for a better day for competing, commented Farr. Runners with top times were van Wisse, second, with a time of 12:31, and Freeman, third, with a time of 12:56. I don't think I've ever tried harder than I did at this meet. At a couple of spots along the course I started to feel weak, but when I heard the running pattern behind me increasing . . . I urged on, said Freeman. The team placed second in District, which qualified them for Regionals, I was so nervous the day of the meet. After all, it's something you work for all year long. Every morning and afternoon that I was running the trail I would always look ahead to this day. Girls Cross Country IV The Cross Country team wrapped up the season by placing sixth in the Regional meet on November 5. I was very proud of the girls this year, They worked hard to get to Regionals, stated Coach Farr. Van Wisse singularly placed 26th in the meet with a time of 12:32 and Freeman placed 46th with a time of 12:53, I was trying extremely hard to do my best, but the competition was tough. I'm not disappointed about not placing high in Regionals. We had a good season and all the work was worth it, said van Wisse. Freshman netters win district hiIeJVandVarsity have inconsistent seasons he outlook for volleyball at Austin High looks great for the next three years as the freshman netters finished the season as district champions with a 15-1 record. The girls' Varsity Volleyball team finished the season with a 5-13 district record and 9-18 over all. Although their record fell from last year's 23-10 mark, Varsity Volleyball coach Jean Owen said, We have a fantastic group of varsity girls this year. They had good attitudes and were hard-working. I enjoyed coaching them very much. The Maroons finished the first half of the season 3-6, posting victories over Travis, McCallum, and LBJ. In the second half of the district season, they were 2-7, defeating LBJ and Reagan. In non-district games the varsity netters were 4-5, posting wins over Kileen, Ellison, South San, LBJ, and Bryan. Varsity player, Nancy Sanders said, We had six good players, but we didn't play well as a team. We probably had the potential to be one of the better teams in the district, but when we got out on the court we were six individuals. -Johanna Oliver Johanna Oliver said, We probably had the potential to be one of the better teams in the district, but when we got on the court we were six individuals. Nancy Sanders described the team as having a good start but slowly going down. One particularily bright spot for the Maroons was senior co-captain Selena Solis who made the all-district team. The other seniors on the team were co-captain Millie Zapata, Belinda Bryant, Michelle Davila, Allison Shield, and manager Jennifer Nesbitt. Juniors on the team were Erin McArthur, Melissa Mokarzel, Johanna Oliver, Nancy Sanders, and Elaine Shealy. The Junior Varsity Volleyball team had an up and down season,finishing with an 8-10 district record and a 10-13 mark. After losing their first three non-district matches, the JV netters pulled together to post wins over La Grange 8-15, 15-3, 15-10, and Westlake 15-10, 16-14, By Ned Sherman capturing the consolation trophy in the Lanier Tournament. In the first half of the district season, the Maroons started out strong winning four of their first five matches posting victories over Travis, McCallum, Lanier, and LBJ. Although they started out strong, they finished the first half with a 4-5 record. In the second half of the district season, the netters also finished with a 4-5 mark. Their wins came against Travis, McCallum, LBJ, and Reagan. The Junior Varsity team members were Lee Ann Sassman, Kelly Herrera, Diana Echeverria, Sandi Tolces, Jeane Hasseell, Elizabeth Hrin, Cynthia Maner, Karen Isola, Bettina Castilla, Kelly Doyle, and Elena Coates. They were coached by Susanne Ancinec. The Freshman Volleyball team completed the season with an almost spotless record winning 15 of their 16 matches, and capturing the district championship. Junior Varsity coach, Suzanne Ancinec described the freshman girls as bringing a winning tradition from their junior high schools. She said, The girls are talented, dedicated, and very coachable. Coach Ramirez has done an excellent job. Teresita Ramirez, in her first year of coaching at Austin High, attributed the team's winning to strong serving and hitting skills. The freshman netters sweeped through the district season defeating LBJ, Johnston, Anderson, San Marcos, Reagan, Travis, McCallum, Crockett, and Lanier. In the post season district tournament the netters won four of their last five matches in close 2 out of 3 decisions. In the first match of the tournament, the Maroons defeated the Anderson Trojans 15-11, 15-7. Following the Anderson match the Maroons suffered their first and only loss to district rival, Crockett. After this loss to Crockett, the netters pulled together to sweep the tournament beating LBJ 9-15, 15-10, 15-10, Lanier 10-15, 15-10, 15-13, San Marcos 15-13, 15-12,and Crockett twice 11-15, 15-10, 15-9, and 17-15, 10-15, 15-4. One of the main reasons for the teams success was their depth and player enthusiasm. The team consisted of 15 players: Ruthanne Betts, Karen Corzine, Yvonne Hill, Kristin Jones, Angela Atkins, Sara Anaya, Stacey Oliver, Rachel Peterson, Kelly Roach, Debbie Roundtree, Meg Rushing, Mary Silva, Valencia Walker, Kino Moore, and Arlene Soliz.

They also performed various concerts throughout the year. The band has increased in size this year, resulting in a louder and more intricate show. The band was able to choreograph more shapes and formations. There is more interest in the group and the organization is becoming stronger each year, explained senior Drum Major Marti Pagnozzi. A fairly new group to join the band is the Color guard. The Guard, as they are called, is a rifle and flag group. They perform with the band at every show, excluding indoor pep rallies and concerts. The Guard adds color to the field, and a lot of style also, comments band member Heidi Lopez-Cepero. It is very difficult, and many extra practices are called, but with the dedication we all have, we get things done, and have fun at the same time, said Lori Hellenga. The band practices in August, before school starts, for a few hours a day. The first couple of practices are to break-in the new Freshmen. Then extra practices are held for rehearsals for the Aqua Festival Parade in August. When the band practices in the mornings before school and during first period, practices usually last from 8:00 to 9:35. Each week they learn new material for the football game that Friday, during football season. The Red Jackets practiced with them on Thursdays and Fridays. Towards the end of the football season they started to practice for contest. They participated in QI. :uw University of by Dawn Smith the UIL Marching Band Contest in Nov., at which they received straight first division ratings. Another contest which they attended was hosted by the Westlake Marching Band. Here, they also received all first division ratings. The Guard performs with the band at these contests. They compete as part of the Marching Band, not as an individual group. The Guard executes routines including tosses and flag formations to the music. The Guard has a strong effect on the band's show. They add pizzaz, says Chris Damon. The group was invited to participate in the University of Texas Centennial Parade in Sept. 1983. This was an honorable invitation and the band gladly participated. The Guard and the Red Jackets marched with them, performing routines along the route. The group received new marching uniforms this year due to fund raising activities. They sold Visors and caps in the summer with Austin printed on them, sold M8rM's, and held a few car washes. Several band members placed in District, Region, Area, and State. If placed in District, you then compete for Region, then Area, and finally State. Twenty-three members were selected in District, twenty-two in Region, five in Area, and two placed in State, Anthony Peterman and Kathlene Ables. The band is under the direction of Mr. Rosendo Sanchez, and Assistant Band Director Mr. Randall Smith. Drum Majors were seniors, Marti Pagnozzi and Stephanie Wendland.

The administration has given me the freedom to be a teacher and a singer, says Cindi Couch about her job as choir director. Couch teaches choir, Chorale, and Madrigals. Chorale is a mixed, large, ensemble, says Couch. Anyone can join by auditioning. Chorale participated in a number of events including Texas Music Educators Association events, District choir performances, as well as Region and Area Choir and All State Choir. Chorale performed several concerts for the school, one on Dec. 15, in the Choir room, one at O'l-lenry Iunior High, the Cabaret Show, and a special performance with singing and dancing called The Wiz . We receive donations for concerts that we give, explains Couch about finances. At Christmas we do 'singing Christmas cards'. Madrigals is a select group of singers who passed an audition on the basis on talent, personality, and commitment. The members also belong to Chorale. Madrigals entertained at Rotary Club luncheons as well as at the Austin State Hospital at Christmas time. The students care about achieving a high standard. It is most rewarding working with them to reach a goal. They are highly motivated, says Couch. Her students seem to have as high an opinion of her as she has of them: Mike Swearingen comments, Ms. Couch is a very good teacher. She cares about the music and brings it out. Tracy Morgan says, She's dynamic and on top of it all of the time. Couch took the last off to pursue her master's degree in conducting at U.T.

The group would set up before the lunches began and would be playing while the lunch lines swelled. Until the end of both lunches all students and faculty attending were in for a treat of jazz, rag-time, and pop music. The concerts seemed to create an atmosphere of fun and excitement. With only two orchestrated bands, Corky Robinson leads his students in excellence. Orchestra made Sweepstakes at UIL in March with Air for Strings , and March Military Frances .

The Orchestra also performed for the PTSA Breakfast. In October, a Studio Orchestra was sent to march in the UT Centennial Birthday parade. The special orchestra was made up of a combination of the string section of the Orchestra and the Stage Band. They were hosted by UIL in the parade. The two orchestrated groups also provided music for the Outstanding School Award that SFA received from the Department of Education in November. In April, the Music Department held a fundraiser. Three locations for a car wash were chosen. The Band and Orchestra members washed cars for pledges, over all, over 8000 dollars were raised. Part of the money was used for sending the Stage Band and the Orchestra to the music fest in Corpus. Stage Band is a unique kind of band. It consists of Musical ensembles that are concerned with the final development of musicianship, says Robinson. Itis composed of a small group of instrumental talents, from 10 to 20 people, made up of wind, string, and percussion instruments, explains Robinson. He went on to explain that the emphasis is placed upon the development of soloists and technical skills on the individuals instrument. The Band performed everything from slow to swing, from fast to punk, from slow to be-bop. When asked what qualities band and orchestra members should have, Robinson replied, The student should have a strong musical aptitude and more than a common interest in music making. They should also be in love with performing in front of people and with playing their instrument. I enjoy it most when it sounds good and when we are communicating a musical idea, says Robinson about his music teaching career. f1f,.f .f. f.

The reason we did I Remember Mama is that this year my mother is 70 and I wanted to do something special for her. Also, the characters were right, said Larry Preas, drama director. The next performance was Gorey Stories , a set of several scary stories performed around Halloween by Austin and LBJ students. Betsy Cornwell and Mr. Preas decided to make a co-operative effort to produce the play. So many times the only chance the kids in theater have to meet other kids in theater is to work with them on such plays, explains Preas. Rehearsals were held at both SFA and LBJ. Nearly the only problem the group ran into was transportation and even that was worked out. In all, 85 students worked on the show. Two performances were give at each school. Mr. Preas said, The quality of the show was good. He explained that the shows had a different atmosphere at the different schools because SFA has a stage open on all sides while LBI has a traditional stage with only one open side, like a picture. He went on to say that acting on the two different stages was a good experience for the students. In all, Preas said, the joint production was a positive experience. Torch Barrers went to UIL competition. Sara Roucloux won the title of best actress in her role of Mrs. Pampanaline, Mike Swearin- geng Fredric Ritter, and Evelyn Lester, Paula Ritter, made all-star cast in their roles. Traci Hunki, as jenny, and Edith Dahlberg, as Nelly, were awarded Honorable Mention. Over all, the play received Alternate Award, or 2nd place in District. Red Dragons also performed An Evening of One Act Plays , Asylum and Requiem , and Spring Follies , a musical review performed at Spring Thing and also once in the evening. Most Red Dragon productions were financed by proceedings from the same productions. Anyone can be a Red Dragon, explains Edith Dahlberg, Red Dragon president, The only requirements are that he pay 3 dollars dues and work on 1 or 2 shows during the year. She also explained that it is not necessary to be a Red Dragon to work on a show. Wednesday after school Red Dragon meetings are held. At these meetings auditions were held and assignments were given. During auditions Mr. Preas looks for physical characteristics, emotional stability, 490 8 story to Mama Maman' The finale of New York, New York as Shan Harten and Chris Barkley put the finishing touches on their stage make-up. ffs -P Aaafkeclfb ---1 Y - ' 'U' ' 3m3. and a positive attitude. Preas explains that, A good actor is a hard worker who recognizes and polishes his strengths and weaknesses. The well-known actor's ego must take position behind dedication, responsibility, and study. Behind every play is the play's crew. The people who design and make the costumes and who construct the setting are almost as important as the actors themselves. Red Dragons are diverse enough that it possesses fine actors in it's membership as well as good painters and carpenters. Design, crew, and construction assign- ments are tailored to suit student strengths, talents, and interests, says Preas. My students are co-operative and generally hard working. In addition, they are eager to learn, take pride in doing quality work and welcome all types of students who want to share experiences in the theater. concludes Preas.

Jennifer Lester Red Jackets raise spirit by Dawn Smith I I he new 1983-1984 Red jackets have done better than any other Red jackets in preceeding years, said senior Marty Pagnozzi. The Red jackets in prior years had been a girls flag, color guard, and spirit organization. This year, the long-time Maroon tradition merged with the High Stepper Dance team to form a combined spirit and drill team. Both Red jacket and High Stepper organizations had grown weak and the groups joined to result in a single and stronger spirit organization, while keeping the traditional Red jacket name, explained Principal McGee. One result is less confusion as to which spirit organization is which. The new organization creates a more forceful impact on the student body, faculty, and administration as a single girls spirit and service group beneficial to the school, comments teacher Brian Schenk. The Red jackets are a model of being willing to work hard for the school, said Schenk. Although it was technically a new beginning for the group, they have carried on the Loyal Forever spirit. By decorating the school on game days, decorating the team members' lockers, making goodie-bags for the team members, helping in leading cheers, and performing at different functions throughout the year, the Red jackets have kept up the spirit. On a game day, the Red jackets did their best to promote spirit. They did this to encourage fellow students to come and support the team, and also to fire-up the team for the game. Signs were hung up all over school and in the locker room, the team members' individual locker was decorated with paper plates and streamers, and goodie-bags were made for each team member. The goodie-bags contained a little something to show that the team had the Red jackets' support 10042, usually cookies, candy, nuts, and fruit. A party was held for the Varsity Football players at the end of the season. It was at the home of a Red jacket and Sponsered by the Red jackets. It was a fun way to end the season and let the guys know how proud we were of them, says jill Scott. I think that the new Red jackets have helped to promote spirit at Austin High this year by decorating and such, but I was mainly impressed by how much spirit they had, said senior Wayne Corely. After try-outs in the spring, the line attends a drill team summer camp. This year they went to the National Superstar Drill Team's camp in Houston. At this camp, the girls learned several routines and performed them for the instructors. Placement ribbons were given to each individual member and the team placement was established according to the number of ribbons earned in ratio to their placement. The group brought back 79 Superior, 20 Excellent, and 16 Outstanding. A spirit pom, representing an award given to teams with much enthusiasm and overall outstanding appearance, was given to a few teams every night. The Red jackets received a spirit pom 3 out of the 4 nights and was awarded a spirit pom at the final awards ceremony to take home with them. The National Superstar Drill Team chooses it's members from the camps which it sponsors. Throughout the camp, each girl is watched on bases of dance ability, technique, and projection by the instructors. If a girl is nominated by an instructor, she then dances with the other nominees during the awards ceremony and members are chosen. Captain Dawn Smith was selected as one of the four members chosen at that camp to be a member of the Superstar Drill Team, She traveled with the team during the Christmas holidays to perform at various functions. She performed at pre-game and half time shows of the Aloha Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii, the Rainbow Classic Basketball Tournament, also in Honolulu, and in the nationally televised Cotton Bowl Parade. The Red jackets performed at all football games, some basketball games, pep rallies, and school assemblies, In August, they participated in the Aqua Festival Parade and also the University of Texas Centennial Parade in September. In both of these parades, they accompanied the band and performed pom pon routines as they marched. The group hosted a one-day dance clinic in the spring for grades six, seven, and eight of Austin High's feeder schools. They also host a formal banquet at the end of the year. The drill team competed against several other drill teams from Texas in February. They consisted of the execution of three routines, one jazz, one prop, and one high-kick. The Red jackets performed these routines for professional judges who graded the performance with a standardized scale. One of the competitions which the group attended was the David Crockett Invitational here in Austin Feb. 3, at which they earned first division ratings in all three routines, resulting in the reception on a Sweepstakes trophy. The other competition which the group participated in was the Superstar Drill Team Pageant for the Greater Houston Area Feb. 18. Here, they received two first division ratings and a second place trophy. Both competitions included fifteen to twenty other drill teams. It took a lot of extra work, on everybody's part. Everyone did her best, and we had a lot of fun, says jennifer Williamson. Red jacket Lara Witt recollects, It is tough, it takes extra time and effort, but with a team effort Jennifer Williamson and Holly Jackson dance to Thriller in the Cultural Showcase. the rewards are outstanding. After a performance, when the crowd clapps and gives us support, you know inside how much all of that work paid off. There is a lot of pride because of the traditions which have been set by previous members. I am proud to be a part of this organization. Williams comments, I am very proud of each individual Red jacket and their accomplishments, but I am even more proud of how the girls pulled together and learned to work as a team. Having been the first year for the new Red jackets, the girls accomplished more than was to be expected from fellow students, faculty, and administration.

Cheerleaders boost school spirit Workouts are a big part ofbeing a cheerleader, After elections you start working out two times a week until school's out, explains Cara Briggs, You get a weeks vacation after school then you work out two to three times a week until summer camp, Practices were filled with activity and discipline. Over and over the cheerleaders would practice a cheer until they got it just right. They had to learn to shout from their lungs, so their voices would carry, and they had to learn to shout in unison. No one understands what is involved in practices unless they have been through it, says lohn Greenway, They were very rigorous and demanding. The first week in August was spent at a cheerleading camp with cheerleaders from all over Austin and the surrounding area. The camp lasted for five days, and the group learned a variety of skills to improve their cheerleading, You learn many things at camp. You learn cheers and jumps and chants and how to deal with the people on your squad, explains lanet Crouch. At the camp, everyone wakes up at 6:00 in the morning and at 8:00 classes begin, Until 12:00, noon, jumps, cheers, stunts, and pyramids are being taught and practiced. After lunch the whole camp prepares for the night competition at which they will compete against other teams. At 4:00 the cheerleaders perform for NCA counselors who watch and critique their work. From 7:00 to 10:00 the squads perform their routines, practiced earlier that day, in competiton against the the other squads. Amy Fransis comments, Summer camp was very hard and tiring! They worked us hard but I think that it paid off the rest of the year, says lohn. Then school started. Cheerleaders were expected to be at school at 7:30 and they practiced non-stop until 9:30. During the morning practices they stretched and exercised. They planned and practiced routines for the pep rallies before the football games. To plan rallies the cheerleaders had to practice cheers that they were considering and either rule out or approve the cheer. leff Sanders explains that, The entire squad, along with Ms. Cohlmia, got together on Monday mornings and decided which cheers we were going to do and at what time. For each pep rally, the cheerleaders had to think of a new theme and of new stunts to perform. They also have to inform the Red lackets and the band of the schedule so they can help lead spirit too. Then you have to get yourselfpumped up to perform. And by the end of the pep rally you're hot, sweaty, exhausted, and maybe have a headache or you're sore, says lohn, But I wouldn't give it up for anything. They look good for sure, comments Tad Breeden. Everyone who goes to a pep rally can feel the exciting atmosphere helped created by the cheerleaders. When the cheerleaders are out you can feel the charisma, I come back singing, 'I feel good', says Diana Gaslin. After the pep rallies they help keep the spirit alive all day by wearing their uniforms to classes. On several occasions, the cheerleaders started unplanned pep rallies during break. They begin to yell and cheer. The aura of excitement spread throughout the people gathered on the second floor. Soon everyone in the area screams excited cheers of encouragement to the team. People on the third floor gather around the wall overlooking the 2nd floor until not a single empty space is available. A large part of the student body becomes involved in the spirit raising cheers until the cacophony can be heard outside the school building. After the bell, students walk to class with one of the highest excitement levels of the whole year. I can't remember a more spirit filled break, says Martha Alston. Being in the middle of a gym, with people on both sides yelling and going crazy while you lead them in cheers and chants is an incredible high. It's something l'lI never forget. -John Greenway Parade, dance mark homecoming Around September 14, a sign up sheet was posted outside the student council office for those interested in becoming involved in preparations for the homecoming Spirit Parade. But groundwork for the 1983-84 Homecoming was dug even before that. In the spring semester of 1983, Michelle Bourionoff volunteered to be the homecoming chairman for the following fall, Bourianoff interested Philip labour in becoming co-ordinator for the parade. I did it because Michelle said it would be fun and that I should do it,so I said I'd try it, responded labour when asked why he did it, I enjoy doing that kind of thing, I like organizing things. Entry forms for clubs floats were sent out and were due the Monday before the parade. labour advertized and organized almost the whole parade, He saw that periodical announcements were made during school announcements to inform the students of the upcoming event. Articals were sent to the Austin American Statesmen's Neighbor section to help inform alumni and parents. At 7:00 a.m., September 30, about 150 people were milling about the east parking lot excitedly conversing about the Parade schedule and about their floats. At 8:10, the parade began. ludges awaited in the teacher's west parking lot. Students anticipated the approach from the west lawn. Eager Seniors in the parade greeted judges with cool cups of punch, Each float passed judges. Some floats and participants engaged in dancing to loud music to show their spirit. Even the little children from the child development labs were in a float. They rode in an EMS vehicle. At 8:35, the last float had cleared and the pep rally began. Cheerleaders started cheers in which the student body eagerly joined. Freshmen, Sophomores, luniors, and Seniors alike yelled and screamed rally after rally of heartening cheers. Then the winner of the Spirit Parade was announced. Seniors took the title of most spirited float. The senior float was a trailer, pulled by Ed Tosh's blazer, filled with sand, beach umbrellas, coolers of punch, and people. Ten lo twenty seniors walked along beside the blazer with beach attire. A brief presentation by coach Harper on spirit as well as the appearance of former coach Macaluso helped make the student response of spirit and loyalty perfect to a tee. I was honored that the kids remembered me, says Macaluso. 9:00, school began, Student Council began the yearly distribution of mums, Spring Council President, Paul Gerling says, This year went smoother than ever before. Only 2 or 3 didn't get their mum on time, and even they got them by the end of the day. After the game, the dance started at 8:00 p.m. at school. Tickets were 51.50 for singles and 52.50 for couples. IDs were required for entry. Suzanne Schulze was in charge of the Party. A special effects company called Whiplash was brought before the commission and accepted. A disc jockey, lights, mirrors, and fog machine were provided by the company. In addition special videos were shown during some songs. About 200 people attended.

Mr. Maroo - a fun mascot 'ES .5 ww? Freshman float for the Spirit Parade. The school mascot was not created until some 55 years after the opening of SFA. At the time of opening there was no need for a mascot as there was no competition between other schools and SFA because SFA was the first high school in Austin. ln 1936 Maroon-a appeared. The description of the animal in the 1936 yearbook had t e body ofa teddy bear, the peak ofa parrot, the wings of an eagle, the horns of a giraffe, and tail of a monkey. However, every game that the mascot attended, was lost. Between 1939 and 1941, a little brown and white dog was adopted as mascot. But, in 1941, the dog suffered a heart attack and died. Sometime after 1940, Mr. Marco emer ed, The exact date varied from source to source. He became the ofgcial mascot in 1965. The appearance of Mr. Maroc has changed over the years, but he is still K e same adorable fuz-ball that has led spirit since the 1940's. Some years back, Mr. Maroo was a live character that a peared at football games. Now Karen Hold has the im ortantjob ofgielping the mascot live. When we were freshmen 8980-811 the job was traded between a bunch of girls and it wasn't really uniform, then the school let it die. So I went and asked Mrs. Cholmia what happened. I told her that I wanted to do it. I felt that it was an important part of school and I wanted to do it. ex lained Karen. We went to Mrs. McGee and I had to agree to di football and basketball games. So Mr. Maroo was revived. Karen attended all football ames and the basketball games to which the cheerleaders went. Sie yelled and cheered along with the fans and the cheerleaders. ..,-ew 123 Senioritis strikes again. . . Not long after the spring semester was underway, the sun began to shine constantly, and seniors began to count down the days to May and graduation, a situation that often results in the incurable ailment senioritis . Senioritis is somewhat like a virus, but it lasts at least three months. A senior usually begins to feel lackadaisical, carefree, and footloose when realizing that graduation is just around the corner. First, the daydreaming starts, then the occasional doze in the middle of a lecture. Senior Marty Pagnozzi explains, after those late nights, having to get up and come to school is definitely torture. Senioritis then gets even more serious with tardiness, absenses, and the failure to complete assignments. The senior obtains a celebrative mood which is discharged by various means such as staying out late, losing one's sense of responsibility, and generally feeling apathetic. Although the disease is common among every senior, the symptoms vary. Each case is different in intensityg some are slightly noticable, whereas, others are extremely noticable. Going to Lake Austin or Lake Travis, Barton Springs, or the neighborhood pool are popular fun in the sun sports to kick back and relax. Concerts, parties, movies, dancing, and walking along 6th street occupy seniors at night. On the last day of school, May 25th also the day of the senior prom the disease begins to lighten. It is on this day that seniors escape from the walls of school. It is such a relief to know that I don't have to come to high school anymore. Not that high school itself is that bad. But after four years, I'm ready to move onto bigger and better things, comments Marty Pagnozzi was one of the first to catch Senioritis as he dozes off in English Vll. Ursula Alvarado. The final phase ofsenioritis is the strongest. This occurs at the graduation ceremony where each senior receives his diploma, the most anticipated time for any senior. I remember when I was a sophomore and I was already waiting for that diploma! recalls John Goodrich.

Most rallies were held before school on game days from 8:15 to 8:45 in the gym. The cheerleaders led the studentbody in cheers for the team. The Red Jackets sometimes performed dances or special skits for the assembled crowd of Faculty and students. During a rally for the Travis game, the Jackets presented a rendition of the football team in action. The girls donned football gear, including pads and helmets, and sprang into action with a special dance. The teachers judged the classes on spirit and participation. Sometimes special events were scheduled, such as potato sack relays, and the ever popular pass the orange. The games were entered by the class officers and some officers of other clubs or organizations. The faculty also contributed some of their skills. The pep rallies were scheduled and designed to get everyone involved and having fun says cheerleader Cara Briggs. We contributed a huge amount considering our class size, said Elaine Newman. It wasn't just winning the spirit award, but it was fun to go yell and cheer the team on to a victory, says sr. President Jody Hart. Guidance and friendshipfound in '84 counselor He's Super-Duper! That was Emily Ayres' response when asked to describe senior class counselor Gaylord Humberger. The response was about the same, when the question was put to other students, so, the next question had to be why? He's helped me accomplish what I wanted to accomplish . . . he's one of my greatest assets at Austin High. This was Jeff Sanders' answer, which came rather easily, taking into account the fact that he could usually be spotted around Mr. Humberger's office whenever he had a chance to do so. Not only was Mr. Humberger an asset to Jeff, he was also one to the whole senior class. Scholarship applications, SAT and ACT examinations, Advance Placement Exams, college choices, etc. are usually thrown at the high school student to catch anyway that he can, Mr. Humberger helped as many students that needed an extra hand to help catch and use these obstacles to his advantage. Another big milestone was, this year, the senior class had a free prom. Thanks went to the senior class officers, senior parents, and Mr. Humberger. I didn't tell them what to do. I wanted them to work at it themselves and feel proud in accomplishing such an arduous task. Besides being the class of '84's counselor, Mr. Humberger was also the sponsor of the Key Club, a service organization that contributes its time and man-power fthe club consists of boys onlyJ to the school and civic organizations around the city. On top of all this, Mr. Humberger plays at least 8-10 hours of tennis a week and has two daughters, two sons, and six grandchildren that affectionately call him Dadoo . Other hobbies include reading cloak and dagger books, traveling, having picnics with his wife, and listening to 888 cool Jazz of Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, and Glen Miller. In closing, Emily Ayres had a message for Mr. Humberger: If you think that just because I'm graduating that you're finally getting rid ofme. . . think again 'cause one of these days, you're going to wake up, go outside, and see me waiting at the door and begging you to give me some advice on something. That goes for the rest of us, too! I.fif3va,,.,, , .tt 'M 3 eip .,, W . . . When Gaylord Humberger talks . . . people listen! 1.24 -Seniofnq Emc Birthday Assembly. S.F.Austin's 190th birthday celebrated Every year we celebrate Stephen F. Austin's birthday with an assembly, usually quite formal and honorable: this year was no exception. The assembly was held outside with more than 300 Austin High students and faculty gathered to celebrate Mr. Austin's 190th birthday. Guests included students from Porter junior High, Lanier and Westlake High Schools, and Churchill High School in San Antonio. The program was opened by emcee jeff Sanders who accompanied the celebration to Veteran's day hoping to bring the audience a little closer to Austin High's past and a little closer to a realization of what it is to be an Austin High Maroon. junior Historian President Lisa Goodman presented a brief biography of Stephen F. Austin, Stephen F. Austin has a heritage to be remembered at Austin High School. We think he would be proud of us, adds Goodman in her closing. Col. james Lamar, Vietnam veteran was the keynote speaker. His emphasis was on patriotism and freedom. He was taken prisonerfor seven years and finally let free in 1973. I learned the meaning of freedom, I don't mean the freedom to walk out my cell door. I mean the freedom to do what you want to do, to be an independent person, said Lamar in his attempt to pass on his patriotism to the audience. Col.Lamarhadagreatimpacton me,and people were talking about him for the rest of the day. He was impressive, says Stacy Carlson. In the closing, Martelle Luedecke-Klier announced the annual placement of a wreath onto the memorial stone plaque honoring Mr. Austin's birthday. At this time, the Color Guard from Fort Sam Houston presented a closing demonstration, Band director Rosendo Sanchez played Taps , and the students then returned to their classes. Later on in the afternoon, a select group of student leaders and speakers from the assembly went to Mr. Austin's grave site - in the State Cemetery - and placed the wreath onto the grave.

The parade's theme was the course of time at the University. Austin High was invited to join in the festivities and was asked to represent the decade from 1910 to 1920. Several individual clubs and organizations participated to portray the way of life as it was in the 1010's. All students wore costumes appropriate to the time period. The students got together and made a float to show the impact of the lst World War. It was in the shape of a naval recruiter. Michelle Grodsky, dressed as a nurse, and jody Hart, dressed as a civilian, and many other students represented the school. At the back of the float a large sculpture of Uncle Sam overlooked the proceedings at the parade. Many seniors helped to capture the atmosphere of the 10's by participating in the activities.

Two hundred and eighty two seniors Bryant Nelson leads graduated. 282 seniors re by Dawn Smith Two hundred and eighty two seniors received diplomas Tues., May 29, at the Commencement exercises at the Burger Center gymnasium. The SFA Band openedwith Shepherd's Hey by Grainger, followed by the processional during which graduates moved into the gymnasium and were seated. Senior Class Vice President Catherine Ramsey gave the Invocation,- and AISD Superintendent Dr. Iohn Ellis introduced the Trustees. The address was then given by class President Jody Hart. In his address, Hart spoke of the bond which ties the class of 1984 together - the pride, tradition, and the friendship we all have. He touched on the realization that we would rarely see a majority of our classmates in the future. He spoke of a dream he had which he was walking down a path which eventually branched into 282 individual trails with a sign posting each graduate's name. This was the path o that graduates' future. As he followed his individual path, he came to a clearing and to his amazement, all of the 1984 graduates had gathered. Each individual path led along a separate way, but in the end, the bond brought the graduates together. He slpoke of the years accomplished together, and t e future independence from our classmates. Hart closed with, Good luck, Take care, and STAY LOYAL FOREVER!!!! The Austin High Chorale then sang Moving On . Principal Jaquelyn McGee presented the honors and awards. This was the first year in three decades for Austin High to include a Valediction in the commencement ceremony. Many schools dropped the speech from Commencement in the 1950's but it was resuscitated this year by Principal McGee. Andrew Chin, class of 1984 Valedictorian, presented the Valedictory address on Teddy Bears and Video Games in which he presented an overview of the past twelve years. His speech was dedicated to fellow classmate and Special Education student Malcom Bryce who died two years ago after a hall monitor told him that he Key Club activities in With the help of sponsor Gaylord Humberger, the Key Club has completed another successful year as an active student organization. The club is make up of junior and senior boys. The senior members usually take priority in activities. Some of these activities include run-thru signs for the football games, ushering at school assemblies and plays put on by the Red Dragons, participating in many Hall of Honor presentations, and lending a hand to various civic organizations such as the University Kiwanis Club and the Settlement Home of Austin. They also served as escorts for school guests of Stephen F. Austin's Birthday and on Dedication Day. Such guests were alumni, relatives of alumni, city officials, and respective politicians. Ben Frishman recalls SFA's Birthday when he escorted veteran Col. James Lamar. Lamar spoke to Senior Club members Greenway, Brindl Kell Kocurek and Lawrence Temple help yr y 1 Mr. Humberger in a Hall of Honor ceremony. volve juniors, seniors the studentbody aboutpatriotism and the meaning of freedom. After being a prisoner of war in Vietnam for seven years, Lamar had quite an insight on the subject. Frishman comments, Col. Lamar was a very interesting man, and I learned a lot by talking to him. I learned not only about the vietnam war, but about patriotism and pride. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet him and show him around our school. Key club officers are President Kelly Kocurek, Vice President Lane Brindly, Secretary Mark Ezell, Treasurer Lawrence Temple, and Sergeant at Arms Scott Amis S: Kent Obenhause. President Kocurek comments, The key club is one of AH's most important traditions because it represents the character and service which have long been the ideals of all maroons. The Key club adds a great amount of spirit to the school, says sophomore Ned Sherman. To raise money for a donation to give to the hall of honor, the key club sold grapefruits and oranges during the fall semester. They raised a total of S250 which was given to the Hall to furthur the Halls expansion and involvement in the school. Homecoming day activities began Sept. 30, with a parade along Stephen F. Austin Blvd. The parade included floats from many clubs and organizations, the Red jackets and Cheerleaders marched with the band, and each class built a float. The senior class combined both the MASH and Beach Party effect, wearing camouflage, hats, sun glasses, scuba wear, Hawaiian lai's, cocktail glasses, and any sort of sun wear. The float had a large beach umbrella and lawn chair on it and was pulled by a Bronco truck. The parade was followed by a outdoor pep rally honoring the senior varsity football players. The cheerleaders helped to cheer the team onto a victory, with the help of all students. The coaches 152 g -sa.. il : fi 1 .. rm .

He wandered around the North Hall to the railroad tracks where he was hit from behind. Chin spoke of how we can all remember how fragile peoples' shadows were. You see, the past is like a shadow. Everyone has a story to tell, and memories and teachings that they've gathered under the sun, While the sun continues to shine, you and I will always have shadows. We can't estrange them, or divorce them, or say goodbye to them. We can't even run away from them. Lying in the shadow of a tree the other day, I had another dream. It was of a world where everyone remembered how fragile peoples' shadows were. It was of a world where the obliteration of the people was worth caring about and preventing. It was of a world where everyone brought before others the rich stories and feelings they carry inside - for a glorious human game of show-and-tell. said Chin in his address. Following the Valediction was the awarding of the diplomas. About 80 seniors presented school board lpresident Larry Waterhouse with a marble in exc ange for a diploma. Loyal Forever was then sung and the graduates stood and threw their ca s.

During the day, the traditional Homecoming mums were distributed to the students. No one other than the seniors wore them with more pride as it was their last Homecoming.

The 1984 cook-off was won by the team of Kathy Ramirez, Kim White, and Kelley Dailey. One booth specialized in face painting, one in dart throwing, sponge throwing, and pie throwing. There was even a candy drop from a helicopter, and a Spring Follies musical show put on by the Red Dragons. Team work was also applied in the softball intramural games.

subconsc1ous and say GET OUT THE JUNK AND GET TO WORK' Usually by then I would have erther headed stra1ght for that very safe place r1ght between Mom and Dad 1n the1r bed or fallen helplessly deeper 1nto an unforgettable n1ghtmare that seemed to control a year of my sleepless n1ghts Dur1ng my slumbers anx1et1es took me to room 335 where the nlghtmare takes place The classroom IS dark dank and almost deafenmg w1th s1lence and of course I am alone w1th a s1ngle fl1cker1ng lamp and a thousand and one old yearbooks on the shelves around me After a hour of wr1t1ng 1n these dreary cond1t1ons my eyes swell and I ve got a headache I need somethmg to get my m1nd off produc1ng a yearbook so I pull out a fa1rly new looklng annual from a bottom shelf To my surpr1se 1ts cover reads Comet 1984 Bewlldered and shocked I qu1ckly replace the book and try to get back to work I cannot concentrate Then I not1ce that the books and the shelves around me have def1n1tely 1ncreased 1n s1ze I get up and tug the enlarged Comet out of 1ts space and open 1t to the f1rst page It reads 1n great b1g red letters GET TO WORK LITTLE GIRL' I throw the book down turn around gather up my bare necessrtles close my u m oo slow mov1ng for a ten foot man eat1ng yearbook IS standrng open before m It growls and snorts and l1cks t blood thrrsty fangs By now I am scared to death Never before not even 1n the mov1es a I seen such pers0n1f1ed book even worse 1t was a person1f1ed book that could eat me al1ve' It waddles towards me and I scream and scream but nobody comes to my rescue I try to f1ght It off w1th p1ca st1cks and croppers but lt slmply enjoys gulp1ng them down The monsterous book forces me 1nto a corner where all that IS between us IS my work and my wr1t1ng I desperately throw every last paper and tr1pack 1n the mouth of the creature Almost before I could see It happen the book smlles and d1sappears 1nto th1n a1r It IS over and 1t 15 gone The room lrghts up and angels s1ng 1n the background I f1nally wake up to my clock radro to the song What A Feehng' by Irene Cara Well after havlng the same repeated nlghtmare tw1l1ght after twrhght I came to a conclus1on The constructron of the yearbook was my challenge my goal that would be reached at the end of the academrc year It was a comm1tment I contracted and my consc1ence would not let me forget my undertakrng to ed1t the yearbook Probably most students enter h1gh school w1th a goal or challenge 1n m1nd Other students gradually f1nd the1r 1nterests and then plan the1r h1gh school destlny Erther route an 1nd1v1dual dlscovers where he belongs rn the h1gh school exper1ence and w1th determ1nat1on w1ll reach a personal goal Consequently when a student makes a comm1tment to an act1v1ty then he can suffer from procrast1nat1on phob1a wh1ch may 1ncrease the l1kl1hood of rep1t1t1ous n1ghtmares such as mme Smce the f1rst day of my h1gh school educat1on I was constantly remmded that the future IS 1n your hands Not Just my rmmedrate future f1lled wrth educat1on and spec1al1zed 1nterests but the ent1re worlds future' The statement never really made a whole lot of sense to me unt1l my jun1or year when Mr Arnold s Amer1can h1story class my exper1ences wrth yournahsm and The Day After were all shoved 1nto my face I reahzed that our generat1on 1S go1ng to be eventually responsrble for the l1ves of our chlldren and our chlldren s ch1ldren I want those k1ds to have all that I had such as the freedom to walk down by Town Lake and enjoy the clear a1r the opportun1ty to recelve a worthwh1le educat1on the pr1v1lege to l1ve 1n a peaceful t1me and the chance to l1ve 1n a socrety that cares I do not want them to worry about the constant threat of a nuclear war about runn1ng out of natural resources that people need surv1ve about corrupt1on our government or about not gettmg the1r fa1r share of love care and understand1ng from the people 1n the1r l1ves The and we are sorry for the way we left the world for you but remember lt s rn your hands' I guess the most sens1ble react1on our generat1on can make IS to accept our world s mrstakes and prepare ourselves for our respons1b1l1t1es We need to make early com m1tments future generat1ons and f1ght agamst 1nternal procrast1nat1on that delays accompl1shment of our goals Although our consc1ence often may be our worst enemy when 1t comes to procrast1nat1on our consc1ence can be our best fr1end when It comes to keep1ng a strong comm1tment for surv1va1 Th1s IS a t1me when no one should close the1r eyes to the world every nrght For me 1fI really comm1t myself maybe my ten foot maneatmg fr1end w1ll dlsappear from my dreams forever Now that the school year has passed I would l1ke to thank the Comet staff Thanks Ieann1e Mel1ssa and Calvo for your smash1ng
