r Coronado’s Wild West Legend 1980 Volume 18 7000 Cloudview El Paso, Texas 79912 The West—its location, its history and its people were all important parts of the Legend. If what comes to mind when Wild West is mentioned is Butch Cassidy, the Younger Brothers or even notorious Jesse James, the scene depicted is the old West. This was the new West filled with adventurous outdoorsmen who braved their Colorado cabins and had shootouts at the local pinball arcade. “The Most Wanted” list was not a posting for criminals, rather, for ideal dates. Like other regions, the West had its connotations. Everybody’s hero, Mark Twain, referred to it as a “poor little horse town region.” Alistair Cooke cited it as an “enormous gap.” This new West was different. “Saying we liv in the West makes us special,” said junior Bry; Welborn. “Coronado is the only school in the West. Who else could shout ‘Pride of the Westside’ with such enthusiasm?” Senior Teri Pollock said, “There is the older days West, with rough cowboys, vast deserts ai adventurous gold rushes. Then there's our Wes the rich successful area—the nice area.” The location was ideal with the majestic Franklin Mountains to the right followed by tl country clubs’ golf courses. Mesa Street’s businesses and shopping centers, the Upper Valley stables and finally, the Rio Grande. All of this replaced the deserted, ghost town image of the West. “The West was a good place to be; we had good weather and a lot to do. It is a place we ; take for granted but shouldn’t,” concluded senior Teri Quinones. 2 I «Downtown El Paso street.

We cheered the sports teams to district, then to state. We were the ones who determined boundaries. Intense enthusiasm was seen at football games; crowds sent up streamers, waved flags and cheered the football team on past district. We promoted the basketball team by shouting, “Sun Bowl.” Scholastic competitors saw enthusiasm when applause broke out after the announcements of winning scholars. Speech students shared support and excitement with each other, obtained sweepstakes after sweep- stakes and surpassed eastside schools once again. “People thought of us as wild because we didn’t accept the boundaries,” said senior Kelly Dignan. “We made our own.” Presented at the Burgos game and re- � Time before the first bell resenting the band are seniors Brian allows sophomore Tina Clark Jcno and sweetheart Lori Prager. to mess with her pom pon. ♦Chemistry student, junior Missy Lue- Finishing up yearbook layouts is ju- vano tries to measure the liquid.

Wild, as defined by Random House’s dictionary was adj. 1. reckless and fantastic 2. unrestrained or unbridled 3. intensely enthusiastic. Being known as wild made it easier to achieve everybody’s own definition of the word. We managed to prove that we were reckless with half- planned escapades either to Anthony Gap, Gasoline Alley or even our neighboring city of Juarez, all offering libations and a “good old time.” Succeeding in areas of athletics and academics left achievers unrestrained. Volleyball coach, Mr. Charlie Miller said, “We were known as being competitive; we played by the rules but for as how much we could achieve—the sky was the limit.” The varsity football team and its fans saw the skies of Dallas when the team advanced to state quarterfinals. Junior Mike Penn said, “We proved the only school in the West could achieve goals that others hadn’t even seen yet. We proved more and accomplished it better.” «Spirit was an important part of the pep rallies as juniors demonstrate the wildness of their class. «Showing a possible entry for the Ka- leidoscope is senior Lisa Ramirez while Scott Affleck and other staffers determine their choices. «Foreign exchange student, senior Jan- ets Asplund introduces herself to the representatives of the student body. the opening 0 West are the days when the El Paso Times ran advertisements for riding saddles, along with the latest in high-button shoes and close-fitting corsets. The Western frontier, with its unruly saloons and rough, lawless customs, has seen its last days. Frontiers, now, exist in areas l� l: IK Hi) til HU CTjTTTTposTTTOTIS unproposed. We were the Wild West because we were the few who dared try to conquer the new terrain, whatever that might have been. So we, the new Westerners, took our place alongside all the other achievers, proving that it wasn’t just our name or place that made us special. Total western—the location, the attitude and even the attire—so begins the story of the Wild West. It was boots and buckles, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. As a whole, the West was the “in” thing and certainly the “in” place to be. From Charcoaler to Leo’s and the infamous Curly’s and Fred’s, everyone had their own place and own style of doing their own thing. From participating in 50’s day to frisbee games in the park, each person added the final touches to make this western legend complete. The beauties, the politicians, the intellects and the ever-famous “party-ers” made their mark of existence known. 10 Whether it was at Surfers, the dusty levee or in the gym before every pep rally, the spirit was continuously flowing. This spirit proved the legend true, the legend of the Wild West. ii A dusty Stetson perches above the grizzled face of a tired trailrider who is huddled over a blazing fire after a long day’s journey. His faithful horse grazes quietly on the desolate prairie and the only sounds are the ominous howls of predators in surrounding hills. This is the western scene most would conceive, but the open range has taken on a new sound, a new look and a new cowboy. Country singer Waylon Jennings suggests, Mama don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys. They never stay home and they’re always alone.’’ Th They never stay home and they’re always alone.’’ This is partly true for today’s cowboys still “never stay home ; out due to Henry Ford and man's inventiveness, living in the West is no longer synonymous with solitude. In 1980, Coronado cowboys were found in a much more convivial atmosphere at Surfer’s, Pipeline,” or the infamous River. The fire was still present but on a much larger scale with literally hundreds of Westsiders gathered Such beerbusts were not the only way wild ones got their Yee-haw’s.” Old-fashioned activities like rodeos were not obsolete although they were no longer “what’s the man” but rather what’s under the hood. Four-whe drive vehicles of every model and make matched speeds along the Rio Grande levees and up Surfer’s” dunes. F those who didn’t mind getting their boots wet, there waf the newly-built Water Slide in Anthony or the Westside Pool. These strenuous pastimes and hearty appetites led the progressive cowpuncher to find improvements upon the grub of chuckwagons. Leo’s never suffered from empty tables and this taste for Mexican food routed others to Taco Bell. Many a ten-gallon hat could be seen blazing ; trail to Weinerschnitzel, while Pizza Hut lured other Coronado cowboys. After getting all slicked up, it was time to head for Bella Napoli or the new-to-the-West Applegate’s Landing. Still it seemed Charcoaler herded i around its flames, drinking their pleasure after a too long school week. Ponies were left in their stalls as proved by the most hungry hides for “a double lemon Dr. Pepper ; number one and fries” and then a visit with fellow the haphazardly parked array of Trans-Ams, Volkswagens and Blazers. Any attempted coyote call was lost somewhere between the foot-stompin’ Willie Nelson and the jamming of The Cars. regulars. On the search for better grub, thirsty range-roamers also discovered improved watering holes. Age limits did not discourage many from saloons like Winner’s Circle and The Horsearound. Live music encouraged Westerner to venture to The Gap, while dart tournaments, popcorn and a giant T.V. screen led others to Gasoline Alley. Those underage and adventuresome rough riders found ti open frontiers of Juarez more inviting with Curly’s, Fred and The Sub just a few of the places explored. The lonesome heroes of American folklore were an extinct breed, but the adventuresome heart and spirit of the cowboy was alive in all who lived in the West.

Boots with western stitching, real rawhide belts and, of course, the ever-faithful blue jeans, carried on the western mood. Straight from the West came the fashions of the year, with all the authentic western touches. Everything from Levi’s, Wrangler’s to French brands captured the casual jean look. The western trend stretched into everything like school and dressy affairs to weekend party scenes. Senior Teri Quinones said, 1 liked the plaid shirts. They added a western touch to everything. To accentuate the western attire, rawhide belts and boots proved very versatile. “The boots were really great, they looked relaxed yet classy at the same time, said senior Reisa Overton. Seventeen magazine stated the western belts went with jeans like a cowboy with his horse. The male carried off his image in anything from over- alls to jeans paired off with a western top or a simple cotton t-shirt. Sophomore John Igoe said, “The overalls were so comfortable, and they could he worn just about anywhere.” Boots were the final added touch to the guy’s fashions. Senior Brian Houghton said, The boots look as good on as they feel on your feet. As the cold air set in, corduroy pants crowned with either a velour pull-over or a bulky knit sweater were worn to give a simple yet elegant look. As Glamour put it, People started to out-smart the weather with color and warmth.” Guys were geared up with corduroy or denim slacks played up with a flannel shirt or ski sweater. P'or the more formal approach, the key word in women’s fashion was feminine. The main look in dresses and skirts was focused on the slim, narrow appearance. Deep front, or side slit skirts were an essential article of clothing for the fashion-conscious woman. Newsweek stated, “The prevalent fashion (of slit skirts) brought flashes of the legs back to businesses. Junior Jim Whiting said, The skirts really make a girl look feminine. I think it was a good change from everyday jeans.” The skirts were made of denim, or colored cotton fabrics for a more business-like appearance. Just about any blouse harmonized well with the skirts. The final touch was the strappy sandals which enhanced the feminine look even more. Levi’s and boots were great for a relaxing day of horseback riding, a Sunday frisbee game, or just plain rest. As evening rolled around, the western clothing still looked good for a weekend date or party. Whether the mood was casual or formal, Coronadoans wore the western trend with style. Corduroy pants paired up with casual shirts were commonly seen as shown by junior Richard Myers. {Senior Teri Pollock and junior Karen Bauchert take time out of a busy sched- ule to relax at Cloudview Park. fashion 15 From Amityville Horror to Just You and Me, Kid, the movie theater’s dominion grew as television’s reign came to an end. Television no longer held the number one position for a Coronadoan’s favorite pastime. “With so many other things that need to be done, it’s hard to find time to watch television,” remarked senior Curtis Thomas. Senior David Pearlmutter attributed TV’s diminishing popularity to the fact that, “TV’s good points are often outweighed by its bad. Watching too much TV allows the mind to stagnate whereas reading a book requires use of the brain.” Sophomore Aletha Phelps saw an additional reason, “The quality of shows is lousy. Watching the trash that comes on is a waste of time.” Other students also felt that the quality in newer TV shows was lacking. This perhaps accounted for the reason that even loyal TV fans preferred older favorites to the season’s newest. Two-year-old Mork and Mindy still captured a large audience. M.A.S.H. remained one of the most widely- watched shows as did Three’s Company, Saturday Night Live and the Tonight Show. Many welcomed the return of Soap and even more greeted the football season which brought with it Monday Night Football. Newer shows that managed to catch the viewing audience’s attention were Trapper John M.D., Soap’s spin-off, Benson, Detective School and Real People. Where TV failed, movie theaters seemed to succeed. Junior Jason Spier commented, “You can’t get involved in a TV show the way you can a movie. It just isn’t the same. Whatever the reason, movies gained popularity. “On a weekend night, g the movies is second only to partyin observed junior David Peterson. Movie-goers had their choice of “flicks.” Alan A1 Seduction of Joe Tynan attracted large crowds. Rocky lovers plus some filled the theaters for Rocky II which starred Sylvester Stallone and Talia Shire. Just You and Me Kid with George Burns and Brooke Shields entertained many comedy lovers. “The plot wasn’t involved or thought- provoking. It was simply a comedy and a great one at that. Everyone had their share of laughs,” commented senior Tami Hatch. North Dallas Forty starring Nick Nolte and Mac Davis stood out as a Coronado favorite. “It was great. The movie was interesting but more than that, it was realistic,” commented varsity football player, Mike Mowles. Braver movie-goers could choose from films such as Alien, Halloween, Amityville Horror or When a Stranger Calls. Junior Kim Karotkin remarked, “When a Stranger Calls was terrifying; after seeing it, babysitting is scarier.” Junior Gloria Portugal remarked, “Even though TV isn’t all it once was, I still feel movies and TV are the entertainment we couldn’t do without.” ♦The weekend finds seniors Mark Strathmann and Tami Hatch, sophomore Geralyn Hatch and junior Susan Marks gathering for a movie. 16 the saga I.uli- night iminchies brought juniors Linda Craig.

More and more realized that as they watched the steadily increasing prices of a night out. Junior Albert Gonzalez observed. It's almost impossible to go out with a bunch of friends without spending a lot of money. In 1920, one could enjoy a movie for 25 cents compared to today’s $2.50-$2.75. Their late night munchies could be satisfied with a 5 cent hamburger or frankfurter, a 5 cent soda, a ( cent malted milk shake or a 10 cent ice cream soda. Today teens might spend up to $2.50 on a hamburger and fries depending on where they ate. Six cent malted milk shakes and 10 cent ice cream sodas have been replaced with those costing up to $1.50. Entertainment wouldn’t be the same without a car. In 1924, one could buy a brand new Model T for $290. Today a 1980 Trans Am with few extras cost just over $8000. In 1911, mobile gas pumps roamed the streets selling gas for 11 cents a gallon. In 1928, a more modern method took over—gasoline was sold out of barrels at the general store for 25 cents. In 1980, gas was sold by gas stations out of electronically run pumps for around 98 cents a gallon. High prices or not, entertainment was a way of life that many people weren’t willing to give up. “The cost makes it hard to go out as often as you’d like to but that isn’t going to stop people from going out altogether, junior Virginia Robles remarked. movies t.v. 17 shared the spotlight for the Republican vote. America’s favorite cowboy. John Wayne, died of cancer leaving an empty space in the entertainment field, as did Arthur Feidler, conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, who also passed away. The mishap at Three Mile Island gave Americans cause to be concerned about their future energy sources. This nuclear threat combined with the unexplainable use of Russian troops in Afghanistan led to a nation concerned about its safety and the possibility of war. In the Year of the Child, youth dominated the tennis scene as 16-year-old Tracy Austin and 18-year-old John Mclnroe became the youngest winners ever of the U.S. Open. Another favorite sporting event, baseball, received much attention with the Pittsburgh Pirates defeating the Baltimore Orioles to win the World Series. Many competitors were brought together in Lake Placid. N.Y.. for the 1980 Winter Olympics. Kl Paso did not remain unchanged. New mayor. Tom Westfall, kept his campaign promises to clean up city government, forcing resignations of city administrators and instigating investigations. A new dimension was added to the downtown skyline with the completion of the City-County Building. The public voiced their hope for change in passing the jail bond issue. Crime made local headlines when Federal Judge John Wood w as murdered in San Antonio. The convictions of Lou Ksper and Leon Moore and the disputed death penalty given to David Wallace brought an end to the publicity involved in the death of Kl Paso attorney Lee Chagra. However, a new question was brought to light upon the disappearance of Jimmy Chagra who was convicted of drug charges but lied bond before sentencing. Kl Paso made national news when in Kl Paso’s second hijacking ever, a youth demanded to be flown to Iran. '('hough the year held many discouragements, hope and promises could still be found—after all. the Miners did win two football games. Ayatollah Khomeini’s return to Iran, which caused the exile of the Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, led to more drastic acts of violence. In an effort to extradite the cancer-stricken Shah from the United States. Iranian students took over the American embassy and held hostages. In retaliation. America imposed an oil embargo upon Iran. The ban on Iranian oil imports, which composed four to ten percent of American energy, only lengthened already growing gas lines and boosted skyrocketing prices. Another high price to pay was for gold which hit the high marker of over $800 an ounce, then dropped slightly during the year. Chrysler’s money problems also became the nation's concern as corporate president Lee Iococca faced an $800 million deficit despite a government promise of federal loans. The nation’s number three car manufacturer still had to lay off hundreds of workers. A new coin hit the troubled money market with the Susan B. Anthony dollar being the first woman ever coined. Another first lady, Mamie Kisenhower. passed away. A slightly downcast nation looked up to the smiling, hope-filled face of John Paul II. The Pope’s first visit to the U.S. brought cheers from crowds in Boston. Philadelphia. New York, Iowa and Chicago. The main focus switched from religious leaders to political as the nation looked toward the 1980 presidential election. Senator Edward Kennedy challenged Carter’s hold on the Democratic nomination for the office. Former candidate Ronald Reagan, former Texas governor John Connally and Senate Minority leader Howard Baker From the seizure of 60 American embassy employees in Iran to the worst potential nuclear disaster at Three Mile Island, the year was filled with apprehension and turmoil. 18 ihe saga |Ni| c John Paul II blesses ihiwe who riime to hear him on his t'nitrei Stairs tour.

Westside parties were a major part of Coronado’s social year and according to senior Gary Helsten, parties and partying helped everyone to get away from it all and have a good time.” Although there were were many different ideas of how to party, the end result was always the same—”a good time.” Most prefered the C W sounds of the Moon pie Dance Band at the Anthony Gap, while some liked the flashing lights and tunes of Donna Summer at Cosmo’s disco. El Paso’s sister city, Juarez, often lured many to its discos and establishments. I love to meet new people when I go to the discos,” said junior Rosa Rivas. ‘‘I can’t leave Juarez without getting a Fred’s sandwich or some tacos, commented Jason Beavers, senior. Usually the weekend scene was filled with one or two my-parents-are-out-of-town parties, with plenty of refreshments to go around for everyone. It’s great to get with a crowd; meeting the girls is half the fun,” explained junior Kevin Bohannon. For the outdoor partiers there was the river levee (when it wasn’t closed) and the sand dunes of Surfers for the four-wheeling fanatics. T birds managed to keep themselves entertained even on those Saturday nights when “there was nothing to do.” Tammy Gladkowski, sophomore, commented, When my friends and I are bored, we just congregate at someone’s house and go see a movie.” As a last resort, another pastime was just staying home and watching Saturday Night Live. Besides partying, another popular method students used “to get away from it all” was recreation. “Jogging through the ditches in the valley helps me to forget everything ... I just think of what’s ahead of me, explained junior Debbie I Insalata. With jogging, frisbee and football the most popular pastimes, students used the weekend to keep in touch with the athletic scene. Many chose more leisurely recreational activities over the more strenouous ones. “On Sundays I like to get together with a couple of my friends and go play pool,” commented senior Jay Wiggs. Coronadoans usually managed to assemble themselves at Cloudview Park or the Rio Grande levee on Sunday afternoon to toss around the pigskin or frisbee. Horses proved to be the “in” animal to ride, for those who had access to one. Junior Kelly Carpenter commented, I love riding my horses any time of the day, but taking care of them is part of it too.” Skateboarding, another sport which required many hours of practice to master the skill, was kept alive by the die-hard skateboard fans. According to Russell Ledbetter, “Riding the pools with your skateboard is the best kind of recreation there is.” He then added, “It sure beats staying home and watching TV.” Demonstrating their two-step techniqu are senior Jennifer Wood and junior Jasoi Spier. Sophomores Denise Dickey and Tracy Reich and junior Sally Carpenter casually observe the antics at a Coronado costume party, early in the year. ♦ Senior I orry Maloof demonstrated his skill at skateboarding by riding the pool. 20 the saga «(•citing out their hostilities in a game of football are sophomores Andy Apo- daca, Julian Crutcher and junior Scott Middleton and senior Tim McNair. «Perfecting their pool technique, sen- iors Tom Hardin and Ann Morton prac- tice at the Anthony Cap. weekends 21 «Kagcr to hit the slopes, junior Karen Bauchert prepares to get in the lift line. ♦ Unprepared for Sierra Blanca's ter- rain. sophomore Alison Ponder seeks help from a friend. ♦ An expert at skiing the “Geronimo run. sophomore Mike Levine makes a parallel stop. ♦ Ready for the first run of the season, senior Bob Butchofsky and junior Sally Carpenter board the chairlift. 22 the saga Ski season being slow in arriving forced ife many to be complacent with just waxing their skis and polishing their boots. Phenee was the key in controlling all urges to go beserk! When that long-awaited day finally arrived, waking to an alarm clock at 4 a.m., packing the ice chest with “beverages,” and pulling on the “ole long johns only meant it was time to head for the slopes. Whether it was far north to the Colorado or close to home in New Mexico, that rocky mountain high was felt by most skiers at any location. I love the thrill of it. Skiing is an individual sport that one can continue to excel in, explained six year veteran, senior Craig Hyatt. The challenge, the sheer excitement one feels when he knows he has conquered that mountain, were a few reasons for weekend and some surreptitious school-day trips to the mountains. Being able to make it down without falling; I guess that’s my main goal when I ski,” said senior Michelle Rosen. Falling—that famous incident that resulted in many broken limbs, chipped teeth, lost equipment and ... ex- skiers. Yet, those who survived a few bumps and bruises skied on, while the others quickly put their skis and boots up and joined those in the bar. otherwise known as ski bunnies.” It is a dangerous sport if you don’t know what you’re doing, but I love the challenge and the satisfaction skiing gives me,” commented junior Melanie Kidd. If it wasn’t those broken bones and split lips that kept one away, possibly it was the rising cost of the sport. Lift tickets ran anywhere from $12.50 to $15 and rental equipment was $20 or more, not to mention the $1 a gallon gas. Skiing is great, but the price of everything is a joke. It is useless if you don’t have your own equipment.” said senior Adam Smith. Whatever the reasons were, the West was the place to ski and it will always be, as long as there is the challenge, the willpower and the guts.

(Photos of Jennings by Eugene Louie and Parton by John Cos- tello courtesy of The El Paso Times.) 24 the saga From Way Ion and Dolly, to Bach and Beethoven, the tunes of the past continued to live as the tunes of the times. Eight dollars seemed like an awful lot of money to pay to hear a group perform, when the same songs were played on the radio for free. Surprisingly enough though, many students indulged in this costly form of entertainment. Crowds of people could be seen standing in line to hear the sounds of the Cars, REO Speedwagon, Kansas, Cheap Trick and Judas Priest. “The concerts are expensive, but the entertainment provides hours of music and special effects,” said junior Eric Mountin. “I don’t think concerts are all that great. Frankly I prefer the album,” said junior Hugo Silex. Some students started their own band tc • satisfy their interest in music. One of the most successful bands was Sage. Members of the group were David Hossley, Dennis Jones, Tim Hudson, Doug Simms, David Schoch, and Melonie Kidd. Jam sessions were held in a garage, converted into a practice room. The bands engagements consisted of playing at parties and entertaining for friends. Western music was a big hit at Coronado. Students were able to purchase tickets for performers such as Waylon Jennings, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard and Marty Robbins. Although classical music was not as popular as rock or western, senior Mike Giasolli said, “1 find classical music more appealing. The composers 1 like best are Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, and Stravinsky.” ► THIS WANTE E “What a surprise! I didn’t expect it. I was sitting in class, and someone showed me the newspaper and told me that I had made it. I started screaming and grabbed the guy in front of me. I’m happy to be a member of Who’s Who, but more important was the fun I had in participating in the activities and working for good grades,” said Anne Coleman. Who’s Who is the result of four years of interest and participation in school activities, that’s why it’s such a great honor,” commented Kelly Horen, one of the 36 seniors who were chosen to be the Who’s Who among the graduating class of 1980. The students were announced in late November after faculty members added up the total number of student activity points. Students were given points for being active members of clubs, and also for participating in activities such as hand, orchestra, choir, speech and drama, yearbook and newspaper staffs, athletics and cheerleading. Senior Madelin Smiley said, Who’s Who is a special title because it not only recognizes students for their grades, but also for their participation in school activities.” According to I.ori Prager, Being in the 1979- 1980 Who’s Who has enabled me to leave my mark of accomplishment at Coronado, and hopefully others will strive to achieve this honor also. 21� I he saga «WHO’S WHO: Judy Stoelzel.

The honor of being selected to the court was one of the few which was given by the whole student body. Conquest Queen Sindi Flores explained, I was surprised to be picked. I really didn’t expect it. Sindi was on the volleyball team and lettered three years. Elaine Hibler commented, “It feels great to be chosen to the court. It’s really unbelievable.” Kiaine was on the swim team and involved in Young Life and Tri-Hi-Y. She also enjoyed horseback riding. I’ve never been to Conquest, and now I'll get to go!” explained Kay Litchfield. “1 was so surprised. I really think it’s neat. Kay was co-editor of the Legend and was interested in photography, ballet and skiing. I’m glad that I can represent the school in some way. I’m really happy that I won,” related Lisa Ponder. “It really is an honor to be selected by the student body.” Lisa was on the track team and enjoyed playing tennis. She also enjoyed sewing and made a lot of her own clothes. I really didn't think I'd make it, so I wasn’t listening to the announcements and a friend had to tell me I'd won,” explained Pam Rayome. “I really am glad. I think it will be fun. Pam was a member of the orchestra and Youth Symphony, and played the fiddle with the band “Texas Gin.” She was interested in art, Teen Involvement and also took flying lessons. I’m really excited and really glad to represent the school.” commented Sally Schuster. “It’s really something to be proud of.” Sally was on the tennis team and was also involved in Student Council, National Honor Society and Senior Executive Committee. Conquest Queen Sindi Flores summed it up for the whole court by saying, “We are all proud to represent a great school like Coronado that is known for its outstanding achievements in all areas.” r • CORON ADO-IN-CONQUEST COURT: Princess Elaine Mibler.

The court’s coronation took place amidst blue and gold banners, a proud football team and cheering crowds. The girls chosen felt the week had been most successful and were confident of their team’s victory. “This was my third year on the court and it was the best,” commented junior duchess Sally Carpenter. Lady-in-waiting Gilly Graves remarked. I’d no idea that I’d been picked. It made my senior year a lot more special and fun.” Queen Holly Sargent commented.

Excitement. Enthusiasm. These were just a few of the emotions Coronado’s Student Council tried to bring out in the student body during Homecoming. “There has been a lack of participation in Homecoming in past years,” stated Greg Spier, co-chairman for the event. “We tried to have something for everyone so everyone would get involved.” The traditional dress-up week started off in the bag with students wearing paper sacks over their heads in honor of Unknown Comic Day. At lunch, rising student comedians told their favorite one-liners to an attentive crowd gathered in C-building. Although Tuesday, October 23, was too early to be AT THE HOP, seniors Laurie Bailey, Cindy Vcytiu, Sandy Igoe and juniors Vivian Tripp and Sharon Pernor enjoy Fifties Day dance. trick-or-treating, students still dressed up their costumes for Halloween Day. All things frightening and funny stalked the halls and displayed their creations at lunchtime in the beauty pageant. By an applause vote, senior Donny Mordecai took the prize of two football tickets for his role as a pregnant woman. The nostalgic phrase “Rockin’ and Rollin’’ was taken literally by a few students on 50’s Day who put on not only their poodle skirts and ponytails but their rollerskates as well. A chance to bop at the hop was offered at noon as junior Russell Gevertz played 50’s tunes for willing dancers. Thursday found students reliving an even older era when sheets turned chic for Toga Day. Twenty eager Romans tested their capacity in the noon chugging contest. Steve Keller, senior, surpassed sophomore Doug Simms in the final heat by consuming 32 ounces of root beer in an incredible 5 seconds. More than just root beer was consumed that evening at a toga party and the traditional bonfire in preparation and celebration of the next day’s events. For such partiers, the 6 a.m. Friday breakfast at Village Inn came early. Friday was a colorful day as students dressed appropriately for Blue and Gold Day and the senators sold balloons to put spirit in the air. Even the parking lot looked festive from entrants in the car- decorating contest. Seniors Merry Rozendal, Mimi George, Frank Nutt, Judy Stoelzel and Lynne Taupier were rewarded for their efforts in transforming a car into a tank to crush the Foxes and senior Chip Wyly won in a class by himself with his go-cart-pulled float featuring a hung fox dangling from a streamer-covered pole. Whether due to the festivities or a good football team, Coronado soundly defeated Jefferson in Friday’s football game. We had to win,” commented junior Matt Bautista. “You just don’t lose your Homecoming game.” The victory led T-birds into tuxes on Saturday for the dinner-dance celebration. The newly remodeled El Paso Country Club provided the setting for an elegant roast beef meal and then an evening of dancing to the variety sounds of Westwind. Vice President Martin Torres summed up Homecoming, “It really only has two purposes. One, to unite the school in one of its only traditions and two, to advocate craziness.” homecoming 35 36 the saga ♦OPTIMIST WINNERS: seniors Steve Rudner and Susan Saunders; ju- niors Mike Walker and Monica Rodri- guez; sophomores Scott Spier and Betsy Peticolas. «NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS.

I think that as many would benefit from these classes as presently do from remedial classes.

Seven students represented Coronado as National Merit Finalists resulting from their scores on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT). The top one per -=3)) cent of high school juniors were eligible for the special scholarships. Coronado had more merit scholars than any other El Paso district school. “I’m proud and happy to represent Coronado as a National Merit Finalist, and I’m glad that Coronado can succeed in academics as well as in sports,’’ related senior Nick Evanoff. The Daughters of the American Revolution’s good citizenship award was given to senior Holly Sargent. The award is based on leadership ability, merit, service, patriotism and dependability. It is a national competition to choose students most deserving of a college scholarship. Holly Sargent explained, “Being chosen DAR representative means a lot to me. I am very honored to know that individuals find such qualities in me. I hope that I do a good job representing the best school, Coronado!” Optimist winners were chosen by the administration for their outstanding leadership, patriotism and citizenship. Monica Rodriguez, junior, explained, “Having a good attitude is very important, and winning this honor is very good experience for me. It encourages me to do better things.” Junior Mike Walker added, I think that it helps to inspire the youth of today. I’m glad people are pointing out the good things in students rather than the bad qualities of teenagers. Five Scholastic Sweater winners were chosen from each class for their exceptional grade averages based on yearly achievements, rather than on a cumulative basis. “I think the basic idea of the academic letter is great—that is to provide some kind of incentive to gain academic superiority and to promote this superiority by the awarding of the jackets to each class,” commented Moises Mares, senior.

Coronado has seen eighteen Student Councils, all maintaining to function in the schools best interest. One of the Student Council presidents was removed from office for misconduct. Only one president has been a girl. This year there were thirty-three Student Council members serving the school; only six were new to the council, all the others having served before. The president, Steve, served three years. This year’s vice president, Martin, broke a trend by being chosen his senior year to serve the position instead of his junior year. With activities from planning Homecoming, painting, promoting the installation of a sidewalk, presenting safety programs, designing a school flag, sponsoring the Outstanding Ex and Welcome New Students coffees, presenting the Outstanding Ex award to Jim Scherr at a City Council meeting, sponsoring a physical fitness program, promoting sports by attendance and attending conventions, this year’s Council was one of the busiest Coronado students had seen. student council 41 AND JUSTICE FOR ALL Involved in every aspect of school, from safety to sock hops, the Student Council members performed their elected duties. Involvement was the key idea to the running of Student Council with activities beginning before school even started. Summer painting of the stadium seats and the press box with T-birds and repainting the concession stand in school colors was the first major project, with a Welcome New Students” tea following soon “There were a lot of things we intended to accomplish throughout the year. Senators who were dedicated and hard-working made the accomplishing easier and more enjoyable,” said president Steve Rudner. Steve served three years in the Senate and was elected to represent the school by the student body last May. Promoting our school and making the student body more informed about Student Council was our main objective,” he said. Without the council, the traditional Homecoming week might not have been declared such a success. Remarked House Representative, junior Mike Penn, This year’s Homecoming seemed to attract and interest everybody instead of the same people.” Co-chairman of Homecoming, junior Kathy Green said, “We intended to reach a larger majority of the student body and I think that those people who did participate in the week had fun.” afterwards. «Explaining the things left to do for Homecoming week to senior Sharon Fass and sophomore Burrel Gaddy is president Steve Rudner.

Paso is vastly different with its towering buildings, school zones, speed signs and Monte Carlos. ♦The railroad was one of El Paso’s first transportation units, connecting the Southwest with the rest of the nation. Although the railroads don't hold the importance they did in the 1880's. they are a reminder of the Old West admidst the city's buildings. With El Paso growing and changing, historical preservation plays an important part of keeping the city’s buildings to remind us of the city’s past. Past the mesa, the vast desert, cactus and yucca plants stood six buildings: a post office, a sheriffs office and jail, a bank, a red-brick school house, a rowdy saloon and the mayor’s house. Today, where those six x il buildings stood, a whole downtown area with 150 major businesses stands. Hotel managers used to boast about their passenger elevators and electric light bulbs. Today hotels and motels can be found on every major street, from rinky-dink Motel 6’s to the ritzy Granada Royale, which now boasts of swimming pools, sauna, jacuzzi and breakfast in bed. The Henry Trost architectually-designed Mills Building is considered to be one of El Paso’s oldest significant buildings. Built with twelve stories, the building was completed in 1911 by engineer Anson Mills and was the second reinforced concrete skyscraper in the nation. Other old El Paso buildings include the Hoover House, at 711 Cincinnati, Hotel Cortez, El Paso Del Norte, Magoffin Home, architect Henry Trost’s Home (in Sunset Heights), Union Passenger Station and Old Main, one of U.T.E.P.’s first buildings.

For most students the Fridays of home games were something to look forward to. Students objected that there were no pep rallies for away games, and the atmosphere was different on those special “home game Fridays.” The omission of 20 minutes from the last three class- times didn’t seem to make the periods short enough as students restlessly sat through each of the 40 minute classes. Before the pep rally started, the cheerleaders as well as the band members were warming up in the gym, and a few students were already seated and ready to go. When the long-awaited 2:40 bell finally rang, the halls immediately filled with anxious students hurrying to get good seats in the gym, while some aimlessly sauntered in, just relieved to be out of class. By 2:50, the stands were filled with hundreds of screaming football fans ready to cheer their team on to victory. Junior Tammy Haney commented, “It’s the only time I can act totally wacko without anyone thinking that I really am!” By the time the pep rally started, the excitement had reached a fever pitch. The football team had jogged in and was seated, the band was playing the school song, and all the students were on their feet “letting it all hang out.” Senior Robert Shutt related, “It feels good to know that the student body is behind you 100 percent and that the whole school really wants you to win.” Bveryone listened while two unsuspecting students were picked from each class to participate in the weekly class race. These races included everything from rolling grapes on the floor to bobbing for apples to eating whipped cream pies. The coach and players’ speeches were delivered as the crowd quieted to listen intently. And the class and band yells were chanted with all the spirit the students could muster. Senior Jay Saad expressed, “Pep rallies show the spirit of all the students, and the football team really appreciates their support.” At 3:25, the school song was played once again, and the football team huddled for the last time before the game. The students filed out of the gym, most of them leaving a lot slower than they came. Some of them would go to the upcoming football game, and others would just go out and do their own thing. But at 3:30, just about everyone was sorry that that special “home game Friday” was over. Senior Brian Geno summed it all up by stating, “A pep rally to the school is like spinach to Popeye! It gives everyone a strong, winning attitude.” «Sophomore Kathleen Fennell in- tently watches the varsity cheer- leaders' skit at the Jefferson Home- coming pep rally. ♦ Drum majors Beth McAlpine and Nick Kvanoff get a mouthful during the whipped cream race at the Aus- tin pep rally. ♦With the help of the J.V. cheer- leaders. yell leader Charlie Griffith leads the sophomores in their class cheer. ♦The graduating class of 1980 cre- atively shows its spirit and support for the team at one of the many roo- tin' rallies. «•Junior Jeff Gibson and senior Eric Williamson prepare their poster for the club spirit contest. • Fairy godfather.

From the number of classes “I really need.” to the amount of preparation to be devoted to the college entrance exams, the seniors’ rewards were high. A diploma and acceptance in the profession or college they wanted to enter was the ultimate gain. Juniors gambled in the parking lot with their cars on the weekdays and on Juarez streets with their lives on the weekends. Scoring high on the P.S.A.T. and trying to finish up the required courses were some of the elements involved in successfully completing a junior year. Finishing up geometry, starting in on chemistry, playing second string on B- team and taking driver’s ed for a license were a few of the new adventures that the youngest group in the school added to their sophomore year. 48 Anthony Alfa� Consudo Allen Lesley Allen Adriana Alva Rosa Alvarado Dora Alvarez Lilia Alvarez Loretta Alvarez Christine Anaya Leticia Andazola Derek Applebaum Serena Argyle Christie Armendariz Loraine Arriaga Janeta Asplund Dale Austin Penny Austin Michelle Avoid� Mary Ragg Laurie Hailey Mark Adams O'Dell Adams Patricia Aguilar Klizaheth Aguirre Robert Ahlert Michael Baker Carla Balk Dorcas Ballard Kristi Bang Nyla Banks SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

Teaching herself jumps, spins and various disco steps, she won her first pair of leather skates in a contest. Reba then joined the El Paso Skate Club where she has won several bronze medals with the Club’s test center.

College was worth consideration, but that took even bigger bucks. Tuition costs were rising every year.

Then adding up the costs of books and supplies made the sum even more outrageous. Another few hundred dollars could be added to the enormous sum because transportation, food, and entertainment were necessities which could not be overlooked. Maybe getting a job would be the best hope. But what qualifications did you have?

After Celia’s graduation in November, she planned to return to the San Francisco Ballet in January. “Being a dancer isn’t easy—it takes a lot of practice, time, and devotion, but ballet is something I’ll always enjoy, and continue to explore,” said Celia. Besides her ballet talent, Celia showed her abilities by maintaining an outstanding grade point average and being in NHS. She was active in the French Club and her grades in that class allowed her to be in the French Honor Society. Other activities included Orchesis and DKCA.

Seniors left for Disneyland, via Amtrak May 1-3. Filled with fantasies, excitement and ambitions, the Senior Class boarded the train which started a 17-hour trip towards California. Reservations for the train were made in two payments which covered everything from the train fare to the ticket at Disneyland. “Even though it’s more expensive to go to Disneyland this year, it’s worth it because it’s the last chance everyone has to get together. When it comes to being with friends, who cares about money?” said senior Susanne Howard. After the trip to Disneyland, seniors visited Knott’s Berry Farm and then headed on the long trip back, filled with unforgettable memories. “In nine years to Disneyland, I haven’t lost a kid yet,” said student activities director David Cohen. “In three days, the seniors came closer together, which tied the whole senior year together,” said senior Terri Toner. “It is the last chance to be together before going our own ways.” Senior Kristi Bang added, “It’s one trip we’ll probably never forget.” I LOOKING forward to their trip to Disneyland, seniors participate in a pep rally.

Coronado hosted five seniors from foreign countries: Janeta Asplund from Finland, Karin Ellioth and Koliert Svensson both from Sweden, and Kasuko Wayama and Hiroyuki Shihata from Japan. The students found things in the United States very different from their own country’s customs, weather and attitude. Janeta, guest of Coach and Mrs. Robert Wilson, liked the changes except for the fact that automobiles were so necessary. In Finland, we walk or ride hikes whenever we need to go anywhere,” she said. Kasuko, nicknamed Pen, disliked the rudeness of some American people, but then she added, “I like almost everything at Coronado, especially the class choices, like plant growing.” Staying with Mr. and Mrs. Ryden Richardson, Karin commented on weekend activities. “I like going to the football games and to all the parties, she remarked. Robert also said he enjoyed parties. He continued, One thing I dislike is how spread out El Paso is.” Karin concluded “The best thing about El Paso is Coronado!” Daniel Villalobos .Jose Villanueva Carlos Villareal Cheryl Walker Scott Walker Peggy Wasiak 72 the gamblers Shcrle Webb Robert Wenle Blake Westmoreland Billy White Theresa Whitehead Jay Wiggs Mary Willey John Williams Mark Williams Nancy Williams Eric Williamson Jamie Willis Mitchell Wilson Jennifer Wood Chip Wyly Cynthia Zarges Genoveve Zesati MIKE DE I .A VEGA, Phil Highfill, Craig Morgan.

Anna Abraham Guy Agee Ruben Aguayo Vicente Aguirre Richard Aldrich Kim Alexander Allan Alfeo Bebe Allen Noemi Alvarez Kathy Anaya David Anderson Steve Anderson Juan Angeles Allen Appel Arturo Arciniega Gerardo Arellano Alex Armendariz Susan Armstrong Kristi Arrington Alayne Atton Victor Ayala Letty Balderas A junior in high school was a young age to he making a mark in the world of business. Yet, Tony Sandoval did just that as vice president of his brother’s clothing company. The Gi. The Gi made and sold martial arts clothing internationally. The company, which made two styles of clothing, grew at a remarkable rate. Tony said, We had ads in Karate Illustrated, Black Belt and Inside Rung Fu.” Tony also arranged and promoted karate tournaments. Due to the large amount of orders, we will be moving to a factory this year, said Tony. Tony promoted the largest tournament in the southwest, The Sun City Southwestern Karate Championships. He also promoted a world title bout in the Civic Center. School was five days a week, six hours a day, not to mention the countless hours of studying and homework. Where did it all end? A student’s life wasn’t always spent behind the books; as a matter of fact, a book was rarely opened by some. But, a student was kept occupied with various activities. Some chose to spend their time lying around, watching T.V., while others chose to pursue a hobby, party or work. Whether it was constructive or “destructive,” every individual felt his time was well spent. 78 the gamblers Laura Barela Karen Bauchert Liz Bauer Matt Bautista Denise Bean Greg Bean Martha Behlke John Beiter David Belew Bertha Bell Melissa Bell Todd Bellview Sheri Berger Glen Bernard Leah Bernardi Andrea Berta Robert Best Judi Birkelo Dean Bitticks Jeff Black Darryl Blanco Scott Blumenfeld Kevin Bohannon Kevin Bond Jackie Bonnell William Bostick David Boswell Mark Bowden 4 ANOTHER VICTORY for the T-bird football team brought about a sort of wild craziness.

Students all felt impact. Many were faced with the dilemma of acquiring the car from mom and dad for a night on the town. “My parents were a lot more reluctant in lending me the car because of the price increase,” said junior Matthew Salazar. The high price of gas and longer lines also influenced students into buying more economical cars. “It makes a lot of sense to buy an economical car. After all, we'll never see a price decrease, but a price increase.” said junior Alyce Bustamante. Many of the “luxuries” taken for granted were deleted. No matter what the circumstances, students were affected in one way or another. They felt not only a little more pressure on their social life, but their pocketbook as well. Working part-time seemed to be an answer to many of the everyday dilemmas one was faced with. Not only did the price of gas go up, but so did many of the activities students engaged themselves with. All aspects of entertainment as well as the cost of food, clothes and other accessories increased. Many students therefore found themselves venturing into the business world. “I started working to buy myself things I normally couldn't acquire,” said junior John Duffus. Coronadoans were commonly spotted working for steakhouses, specialty shops, grocery stores, ice-cream parlors and fast-food chains. Most students took working all in stride, with no real criticisms. “Working really wasn’t all that bad, except for the times it interfered with a party or something else exciting,” said junior Jim Whiting. Working not only brought money to the pocket, but also brought experiences that would be long remembered.

Such methods included poster parties, catchy sayings and other outrageous stunts. Being a yell leader does have its embarrassing moments.

The early dawn hours brought many to the river levee, Strauss or various other sections of New Mexico. “I like to hunt for relaxation, plus it is a break from the usual city routine,” said junior Casey Carpenter. Dove hunting was more popular for this hunting area, but some headed on towards Alpine for deer hunting. The real fortunate ones geared up to challenge the sport of pheasant hunting in the Texas Panhandle. Before taking on the sport of hunting, participants had to take into account several expenses. A gun for the hunting expedition ranged from S30 to $1000 in cost. A hunting license had to be acquired and the cost ranged according to the time of the season. “The expense of hunting didn’t really bother me. Hunting is a really just a challenging, fun sport,” said junior Matthew Salazar. Hunting was looked upon as a sort of recreational activity for leisure. � JUNIOR CASEY CARPENTER carefully aims for a dove out at Surfers.

Second time “I was really looking forward to playing tricks on all the freshmen,” said sophomore John Igoe.____________________ Being dumped head-first into a trashcan, sitting behind at lunch while all the juniors and seniors sped off, and being booed at pep rallies were once traumas the new freshmen at Coronado experienced. But this year, the sophomore class went through this for a second time, due to the loss of freshmen. It used to he that every student looked forward to the last day of their freshman year so they would no longer be referred to as the babies of 4 SOPHOMORE MARK SELF quietly waits for the lunch bell to ring outside of the Agriculture Building. around the school. The sophomores used to fit in with the juniors and seniors; but since there were no freshmen to pick on, they were again the unfortunate victim. Now for the second year in a row, the sophomores played the role of the youngsters of Coronado. They did not experience the joy of watching all the wide-eyed frightened freshmen search frantically for their classes. There were no swimming pool passes or locker insurance cards sold. Even though there was an unusually large number of new transfer students, no one attempted the selling of elevator passes to the unsuspecting. Sophomore -John Igoe said. “I was really looking forward to playing the same tricks that were played on me to all the fresmen, but I guess I’ll just have to wait till next year.

To begin with, most had no drivers license. This created all kinds of problems. If one got a date for Homecoming, there would be the humiliating experience of having a parent drive the couple to the dance. And even a few who did have their licenses had their share of problems, too. “Even though I had a car for lunch, we would usually have to cram for lunch to fit everyone in,” said sophomore Tom Payne. Many would think that was not so bad but unfortunately, there were more problems to come.

They longed to do the same. “1 wish everyone was able to take outs in place of classes. Six classes is really too much for anyone,” said sophomore Pat Garza. When the bell would finally ring, students crowded the halls on their way to their lockers.

Josh Halperin. sophomore, had a credit to his name not shared by many students in high school. He helped write a book that was on the nationwide market. The book was titled Symbol Simn and it consisted of different word and symbol puzzles. For instance, de ci sion is another way of writing a split decision. «SOPHOMORE JOSH HALPERIN display� his symbol book which was on the market nation- wide. Josh and his father planned to make an- other book. ‘it all started one day when we were all at a relative’s house. We started making up puzzles and trying to guess the answers. We got most of the answers correct so we decided to put them together. Then someone came up witn the idea of writing a book. It took us about a year to fill a whole book,” said Josh. The same publishing company that published the first book wanted Josh and his father to write another one. This second book will not be out until next year. “It’s a different and interesting way of making money,” explained Josh.

Mr. Alan Veach gave up his coaching jacket for a suit when he took on the assistant principal position handling the tenth grade. He said. I was nervous the first day but I soon got over it. Also starting a new career was former history teacher, Miss Nancy Farrar, taking the position of assistant principal in charge of curriculum. She said. “We were very busy prior to registration; therefore, the whole office was always in a constant state of confusion. As I became familiar with the surroundings, things started to smooth out.” • Preparing a balanced meal and providing nourishment for hundreds of hungry bodies got a little hectic at times, but the cafeteria staff knew it had to he done. “Toiling over a hot stove is not everyone’s idea of a good time, said Mrs. Ida Brader, cafeteria manager.

Students worked from 8:30 to 3:30, but a custodian’s work was never done, or so it seemed. Starting work at 10 and not getting off until 7 was not enough time to get everything done.

Since arriving at Coronado in 1967, Mrs. Ellen Brooks has faced many changes: an increase in student population, fuller parking lots, and the greatest change occurred when she married a fellow teacher, Coach Don Brooks. Having grown up in Mexico. Mrs. Brooks learned Spanish and English. “I love foreign food and meeting people from other countries, said Mrs. Brooks. Mrs. Brooks occupied her spare time in many ways. She was a photographer, collected statuettes and loved to cook. I also love to spend time with my little girl and watch her learn to speak Spanish and English,” said Mrs. Brooks. “Coronado has increased in all of its potentials. said Mrs. Brooks. When asked if students were wild and crazy, Mrs. Brooks replied, Yes, it helps break daily monotony. There is a time for craziness and seriousness.

Head Varsity Basketball Coach Peggy Haddad, Registrar’s Aide Helen Henderson, French French Club Sponsor Sara Hernandez, Business Education “My job is one of never-ending joys and frustrations,” said Mrs. Linda Lockett. Grading piles of papers and controlling unruly classes were the main things most teachers worried about. But how many would take on the responsibility of making absolutely sure that the student body was informed with a school paper and had all their memories of high school captured in pictures? One teacher took both of these duties in stride as the journalism adviser and teacher. Mrs. Linda Lockett has lived through five years of deadlines, and late stories, providing that calm assurance when the world seemed to be falling apart. Mrs. Lockett often spent several hours of her free time, including weekends, working on the school’s two publications. 4 SERIOUS THOUGHT AND CONSIDER- ATION enter Mrs. Linda Lockett’s mind while reading an edited story. Her life did not begin and end with her work, in fact the opposite. Mrs. Lockett had a husband and two little girls which occupied much of her time also. She enjoyed traveling, when her schedule would permit, which was not often enough. Having attended high school at Burges, where she was editor of her school paper, and active in Student Council. Perhaps because she has lived in Texas all of her life, she has acquired a taste for country music. She enjoyed photography and trained most of the newspaper and annual staff photographers. Mrs. Lockett also taught morning classes, and it was in these classes which she prepared the students for the material needed to be a staff member. She enjoyed her work and got a special reward from it when she saw all the hard work and effort produced from her students in print. teachers 117 Beyond the paperwork “I am much more concerned with teaching them to cope and prepare for the future than anything else. I’d like the students to leave school confident and stable.” Taking a positive attitude and concern toward students was perhaps the reason Mrs. Joanne Foster, chemistry instructor, was chosen Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Foster doesn’t see Coronado as a whole, but sees each student as a unique individual with unique needs. “I am much more concerned with teaching them to cope and prepare for the future than anything else. I’d like the students to leave school confident and stable,” said Mrs. Foster. Music ranging from classic to rock to country-western are all favorites of Mrs. Foster. Another favorite pastime of hers is camping and backpacking out at the Pecos Wilderness or the Gila. “I find it challenging to look around and identify the different plants, or else study trails,” said Mrs. Foster. Changing from the quarter system to the semester system does not really phase her. “It doesn’t change my course much, but it will limit others. There are plusses and minuses to both,” said Mrs. Foster. During her eight years of teaching at Coronado, Mrs. Foster has noticed a distinct change in the students of today. “They are more stable and academically inclined than before. They also have a more oriented outlook on the future,” said Mrs. Foster. “All in all, I’m proud of my students and not just the ones who major in science. I’ve had a bunch of excellent kids in my classes,” said Mrs. Foster. The final added touch to Coronado Mrs. Foster would like to see, is more alumni support in ongoing programs. Taking this all in mind, one could understand why she was selected Teacher of the Year. MRS. JOANNE FOSTER SEARCHES through files to find ungraded test papers. 118 the gamblers = Reba Hill.

Whatever the activity, the goal remained the same: the challenge of working together and showing the west as one. . A Coronado tradition continued in losing the opening game, but strong pre-district play helped out in district games. Coronado had played those “oil boys from Odessa Permian as its first game of the season for the past seven years. As in the first game of the previous season, the score ended up-tilted in the Mojos’ favor. However, the 14-8 loss on Sept. 7 turned out to be one of the closest games ever for the T- birds in their traditional tangles with the Mojos. “We had improved a lot since last year’s game.” said head coach Don Brooks, and most of our players were healthy and fit to play.” A tough T-bird defense must certainly be credited—at least for the eight points. Kicky Reynolds, who sparked the Mojo offense with 165 yards rushing, had touchdown runs of 3 and 50 yards. That brought the first half to a close, 14-0. Then, on the third play of the third quarter, with Permian in possession, an alert Brian Peer grabbed the football from Reynolds and ran 25 yards for 6 points. A safety in the closing minutes put the score at 14 to 8. It was nice having a close score, said senior Mike Jarvis, but we should have beat them.” The team had a week off and then traveled to Hutchins Stadium to take on Ysleta. The Birds evened their record to one and one, but even so, it seemed they could have done better. We should have beaten them much worse,” said Coach Dop Brooks. “I think we were over-confident. Being idle the week before had something to do with it also,” he concluded. Ysleta was first to score midway through the second quarter with a 23- yard T.D. pass. The T-birds came back with a 15 play drive ending in a one-yard run by quarterback Brad Robalin. � RUNNING BACK Kelly Boren struggles to break from the line of scrimmage against Irvin after a few yards gain. � THE CORONADO DEFENSE, ranked 1 in the city, gives an Austin receiver no room to run.

Showing great confidence in the strong T-bird team, local sportswriters and several coaches throughout the city chose Coronado to gran the highly coveted district crown. The 2-1 T-birds hosted the Andress Eagles Oct. 5, in their first district game of the season. The first touchdown came for the T-birds after David Georges recovered a costly Eagle fumble at the Andress 4-yard line. A lunge by Brad Robalin and a Gilbert Martinez kick gave the T- birds a 7-0 lead. The lightning swift offense continued to profit from Eagle penalties and turnovers by chalking up two more touchdowns, while the awesome defense allowed Andress only six points. The T-birds had finally avenged the past two years’ losses to Andress by ending the evening’s play with a 28-6 victory over the stunned Eagles. One week later the T-birds traveled across town for a match-up against the Bears at Bowie stadium. Coronado squeezed out four touchdowns in the first half making the score 28-0 at the end of the second period. Steve Nichols scored the T hirds’ last touchdown of the night on a 5-yard pitch-out late in the fourth quarter. Led by The El Faso Times Player of the Week Robert Shutt, the T-bird defense kept the Bears in check, ending the game with the score 33-0. Coronado returned to defend its home field on Oct. 19 against the Austin Panthers. Brad Robalin started the game off by heaving the ball to Steve Nichols who traveled 17 yards into the end zone. Doug Simms added the point after, and the T-Birds were on their way. 7- 0. Two more touchdowns enabled Coronado to cruise to band-time with a comfortable 21-0 cushion. Two more T-bird touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters wrapped the game up with an ending score of 35-0.

Midway through the third quarter, Kelly Boren bullied 14 yards to Eaydirt, raising the count 38-7. Asperate efforts by the Foxes brought the score within ten points 38-28, but once again Boren took the glitter out of that effort by running 85 yards for a touchdown, giving the T-birds a 45-28 Homecoming victory. The T-birds next hit the road to put their unmarred district record against the El Paso High Tigers Nov. 2 at Jones Stadium. The eager T hird squad started full blast by scoring on all its first three possessions. Forrest Rich and Jay Saad scored two more touchdowns in the third quarter, sending the T-birds into the locker room with a 35-0 lead. As the second half to underway, Coach Brooks emptied Coronado’s bench, resulting in five more touchdowns for the invincible T-bird team, while the frustrated Tigers continually failed to reach paydirt. Coronado came away with not only a 68-0 victory, but also with what ranked as one of the highest margins of defeat ever forced on the Tigers in their long history. On Nov. 9. 45 armor-clad” football players ventured from the watchful gaze of the mighty Thunderbird to the other side of the mountain in eager expectation, knowing that a victory against the Irvin Rockets would give them the district title. At 7:30 both teams settled down for a long game, but after a scoreless first quarter, anxiety began to be felt by both players and fans. Relief was finally felt by the cheering T hird supporters when Steve Nichols scored to put Coronado on top 7-0 at the half. A determined T hird crew charged forth from the locker room at the start of the second half, willing to do just about anything for the prized district crown. A 39-yard sprint by- Mike Jarvis for six points early in the third quarter brought closer and closer the realization of being district champions. With the score 14-0, the spirited T-bird fans continually prodded their team onward. With 4:26 left in the third quarter. Jay Saad followed fullback Bobby Butchofsky’s block through the line for a 21-0 Coronado lead.

When Coronado began its final game of the regular season against Burges Nov. 16, it had already taken the district title with the win against Irvin Nov. 9. Coronado’s chances looked brighter from the first play of winning another the game after Burges running back George Downey was injured. Later in the first quarter, one of Coach Brooks’ assorted running backs, Kelly Boren, made a 21-yard dash for the first touchdown. Later, after the T-birds made the score 13-9 with a Forrest Rich touchdown, came the end of the half. Following a Boren TD, Robert Butchofsky blocked a punt and fell on it in the end zone as a result of a bad Burges snap. Both teams scored in the final stanza, to leave the score 35-7. The T-birds’ substantial victory over Burges was the first time in three years the confrontation didn’t end up in a 15-14 score. Next week on Nov. 23, Coronado again journeyed to the Sun Bowl to play 2-AAAA representative, Bel Air, for the bi-district title. Attempting to win their 10th victory on a row was not as easy a task as the other games had been for the T-birds. The Thunderbirds again became the first to put a dent on the scoreboard when quarterback Brad Robalin connected with Dave Richer at midfield. Gilbert Martinez booted in the extra point. Coronado repeatedly made costly offensive mistakes, which were apparent throughout the second half. Martinez again kicked the pigskin for a 24-yard field goal leaving the score 10-0 at the half. When the third quarter began, Bel Air took control of the game and scored later in the fourth quarter. Martinez kicked another field goal later in the quarter to finalize the tally at 13-6 with Coronado on top. Coach Brooks was not very impressed with his team’s pre- regional performance. According to tackle, David Georges, I think that Coach Brooks was hanpy that we won, but not to proud of our performance.” As the sun rose over the giant Thunderbird on the mountain, 45 hopeful football players and a tense coaching and training staff boarded a chartered bus headed for Lubbock, for the regional play-offs against Lubbock Monterey. Their disappointing performance against the Bel Air Highlanders brought about a great show' of dedication from the team members as well as the coaches. Many an hour was spent viewing films of the Monterey Plainsmen and their awesome running back Willie Johnson.

With three minutes left in the third uarter, Monterey scored and added le two-point conversion to cut the '-bird lead to 14-8. The determined T-bird team ■fused to let the Monterey iuchdown dampen its spirits. In the fourth quarter, Coach Brooks gave Martinez the chance to show off his kicking leg for a field goal attempt from 42 yards out. The kick was good and Coronado owned a nine point lead. With 29 seconds left in the game, Jay Saad reached pay dirt from one yard out to end the afternoon’s play with a 24-8 victory. On Dec. 7, proud T-bird members wearing three-piece suits and cowboy- hats, strutted onto an airplane, on their way to Dallas, Texas Stadium and the quarterfinal playoffs against the Lewisville Farmers. At 2 p.m. on Dec. 8, the huge stadium was far from being filled, and the Lewisville crowd greatly out- numbered the small, but energetic Coronado bunch. The game started on a grim note for the T-birds when offensive tackle David Georges was sidelined with a head injury. Moments later senior end Brian Peer was carried off on a stretcher with a recurring neck injury. The Farmers’ towering defense continued to penetrate Coronado’s offensive line to reach Robalin and his backfield mates before some of his handoffs were even completed. Midway through the second quarter, the Farmers scored from five yards out to take the lead. After fruitlessly trying to move the ball, Coronado kicked the ball away and Lewisville started its second scoring drive. Starting quarterback Hal Stewart found a receiver open for a Farmer 'I'D with 35 seconds on the clock, the extra point was no good, and the score was 13-0 at the half. The Birds gained momentum early in the third quarter after Robert Butchofsky recovered a Farmer fumble 28 yards from Lewisville’s end zone. Long gains by Mike Jarvis and Forrest Rich enabled Robalin to carry the ball into the end zone from the one-yard line for a T-bird score. The fans were on the edges of their seats when Coronado faked a Martinez 49-yard field goal attempt on fourth down, but all hopes for a possible touchdown were crushed when Robalin’s pass sailed out of bounds. The final straw that broke the T- birds’ back was a high snap from center Mark Musgrave over Rich’s head late in the third quarter with the T-birds in punt formation. Rich was standing on his own 15 when the ball flew by him. He raced into the end zone and caught up with it a step before he went out of the end zone for a safety and Lewisville’s final two points. As the seconds ticked away and the game ended, the players’ dream of winning the quarterfinal championship faded out of sight. But even greater than the feeling of defeat, was an overwhelming feeling of pride in themselves and their school. • WITH THE AID of the T-bird offensive line, senior Forrest Rich scrambles for yardage in the Cowboy Stadium. varsity football 129 “We let ourselves down this year, I mean, by not playing 100 per cent football,” said sophomore Tim Hudson. Potential and actual playing seemed to be in conflict off and on throughout the junior varsity season, thus bringing about a four and four record. “We had a disappointing season because we had the talent and potential but lacked in attitude and desire, said head coach Tony Robles. After a difficult 16-6 victory against the Mayfield Trojans, the team went on to crush El Paso High 43 to 3. The Birds compiled over 400 yards total offense in one of their best games of the season. “If we could have played our best as in the El Paso High game, we would have had a much better season. said tight end John Liddicoat. The next Saturday the team traveled to Alamogordo but found only janitors at the school. The result of the schedule mishap was an eight game season instead of nine. The Jefferson Foxes then took on the undefeated J.V. and came out on top. 16-6. There followed three more consecutive losses for the Birds to Andress, Burges, then Irvin, the eventual district champion. “There wasn’t a team we should have lost to,” said Robles, who was in his first year as B-team head coach. “Concentration and effort were not all there. They played as individuals instead of as a team,” he added. A 16 to 6 victory over Austin and another 38 to 6 win over Bowie closed out the B-team’s season in fourth place. “Overall the season was a learning experience due to a lack of experience,” said tight end Tim Hudson. .

Senior Kurt Spier commented, “Even though we were smaller this year, we played more as a team, and we didn’t depend on certain key- players as much as wre did last year. The T-bird cagers started their pre- district season by soundly defeating Lydia Patterson Institute on Nov. 20. Two victories against Parkland and Bel Air followed, giving Coronado an undefeated record upon entering the El Paso High Tourney. Despite a loss to Eastwood in the first round of the tournament, the determined T-bird squad rallied to defeat Andress, El Paso and Burges for a first place finish. A week later the T-birds overpowered both Houston Madison and Hobbs in the Sun Carnival Classic. However a loss to Houston Milby lowered the Birds to a second place position in the finals. On Dec. 11, the cagers slipped by the Ysleta Indians with a slim 57-56 victory. The next two games didn’t prove to be as lucky for the Birds, as they were defeated by Hobbs and Eastwood. On Dec. 19, the team traveled to Douglas, Arizona, to participate in a three-day tourney. The T-birds were bent on making up for their previous losses w'hen they arrived in Douglas, and that was just what they did. The Birds systematically defeated all three of their opponents to take the first place award. The cagers returned home to continue their winning streak by outscoring Ysleta in the final game of the pre-district season. With their 14-4 pre-district season behind them, the T-bird cagers set their goals towards achieving an undefeated district season and anxiously awaited the chance to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors.

The fired-up Coronado cagers sailed by the bewildered Eagles, ending the evening’s play with a 54-35 score. Winning two straight games after their season opener, the 18-4 Thunderbirds hosted the Burges Mustangs on Jan. 15, hoping to add one more victory to their three-game winning streak. The Mustangs played their slow style of game throughout the first period, while the T-birds tried to figure out a way to break the low scoring 5-3 duel. Finally Wayne Salem dropped in two foul shots, and assist man Larry Jones drilled a four- footer for a 9-5 edge. Midway through the second period.

After four long quarters, and three explosive overtimes, the Mustangs squeezed out a 40-38 victory that put an abrupt end to Coronado’s ten- game winning streak.

As the final buzzer sounded, the ragged Coronado crew stared in disgusted disbelief at the 46-32 Burges victory. Although many of their dreams and goals were not realized, the Thunderbird cagers emerged from the shadow of last year’s team to reinforce Coronado’s newly-made basketball legend. But more importantly, the basketball players learned how to play, how to win and how to lose as a team. With the success of last year’s team weighing heavily on their minds, the T-birds entered the district 1-AAAA post-season basketball tournament with the goal of surpassing the ’78-’79 bi-district championship team. The confident T-bird squad and its faithful fans journeyed to the L’TEP Special Events Center to contend with fourth-place Jefferson in the first round of the play-offs on Feb. 20. The continuous cheering of the Coronado crowd came to a sudden halt when the Foxes jumped out to an early lead and fronted the overconfident Thunderbirds 18-14 at the half. The bewildered T-bird cagers headed for the lockerroom. shocked at the Jefferson lead. As the intermission came to an close, the Birds emerged knowing they were going to have to fight hard in order to win the game. The halftime did a world of good for Coronado, as playmaker Larry Jones ignited a 12-point scoring spree early in the third period to put the T hirds ahead 21-20. A basket by Kurt Spier, a top-of-the-circle shot by Jones and a lay-up by Spier capped the scoring streak. In the fourth quarter, the strong T- bird cagers drilled three quick baskets and coasted through the rest of the game for a 44-31 victory over the stubborn Silver Foxes. With this their second straight finals berth, the triumphant T-bird cagers were well on their way to another district championship. The following evening, the Thunderbirds again traveled to the Special Events Center to contend with third-seeded Burges in the second round of the post-season tournament. From start to finish, it seemed as though the T-birds could not muster enough strength to control the ball game.

The young and inexperienced junior varsity basketball team had plenty of determination and strong will to overcome the fact that only one team member had ever started on a Coronado basketball team. As the season got underway Nov. 20, the team suffered three straight losses. However, it rebounded with three straight wins, sweeping the Parkland tournament. In the Bowie tournament, two games later, the B- teamers had to settle for a consolation place partly because of a two point loss to Riverside. Sophomore Hector Valenzuela, said, “We should have won. It was a disappointing loss since we had beaten them earlier.” The team members were on a three game losing skid when district play started against Austin. Even so, Coach Ron Paulk commented, They played as a team. Even when we lost they were optimistic.” Jokingly, he added, That sort of bothered me but they always kept their spirit.” The losing streak lasted for eight games before the team defeated Bowie 53 to 26 in one of its finest games of the season Jan. 22. “It was our best game at the point,” said sophomore Regan Coleman. We really played as a team.” Throughout the season, their lack of experience did not keep the team members from trying. As guard Scott Spier put it, Nobody gave up because we knew we were good. We had the potential to beat anybody.” Since the 1978-79 starters were this year’s football players, Coach Paulk’s present starters were inexperienced although they had plenty of potential. Losing games by less than five points hurt our morale,” concluded sophomore Carl Isaac. ) B-TEAM BASKETBALL; Ron Paulk, coach; Greg Gallup. Scott Spier, Bruce Lesley, Scott Thomas. Regan Coleman.

With many of the competitors returning from last year, the gymnastics team was ready and strong for the upcoming meets. “I feel that our team will do well this year. We have the talent and strength to go far in competition,” explained Coach Judy Pedigo. Some girls competed all-around, while others competed on one or two events. Senior Mary Bagg said, “I like competing all-around because it gives me a variety of things to do.” Senior Shelly Reich had a different point of view, I don’t compete all-around because I like to focus my attention on the events I do best.” Gymnastics took a lot of hard work. The girls came at 7:30 and worked out until 9:30. Most girls worked out after school at a nearby gym. Sophomore Stephanie Ponder took ballet lessons as well. Ballet keeps me in shape, while developing my grace and balance at the same time, something essential for gymnastics, explained Stephanie.

Despite poor turnouts for the tournaments, the team held a fourth place throughout district competition. “My team members worked hard to bring themselves confidence, and we seemed to be the biggest surprise this year to all the schools in our district,” said Coach Tony Robles. With individual standouts from seniors Mike Mowles, who was 9-0, and Kelly Boren, the team demonstrated a turnaround when it defeated Bowie. “After being in last place last year, all the work finally paid off,” said Mowles. Other key grapplers were junior Vince Hernandez and sophomore Eric Mowles. With two matches left, Coach Robles expected his team to finish a strong fourth or as a third place underdog. “Pride, determination and strength were the reasons the wrestlers improved on last year’s mark,” said Coach Robles. After good performances at the city meet brothers Eric and Mike Mowles advanced to state competition, where veteran Mike placed second in his weight class. � JUNIOR GLENN SHIOJI grimaces in pain as he tries to break the hold of his opponent.

The girls competed in two Ysleta Invitationals on Nov. 30 and Dec. I, one El Paso Invitational on Jan. 18- 19, and two duals on Dec. 7 and Jan. 4, coming out first in all. With the help of Coach Welsch, our times improved a lot this year,” explained junior Susan Marks, who broke the city swimming record for breaststroke. The boys placed fourth in the first Ysleta Invitational, second in the second Ysleta Invitational, fifth in city invitationals and sixth in duals. The boys’ times really increased and the girls were stronger, not only as individuals, but also as a team,” explained Coach Welsch.

Although the diving team had little support, it still managed to earn honors at out-of-town meets. “It’s not all fun and games; it is hard work and takes a lot of practice,” remarked junior Shannon Hill about the diving team. “A lot of people don’t really regard diving as very much. There is a definite lack of support, hut it is just as difficult and competitive as any other sport, said senior Randi Jaffe. In competition, the team was required to complete five dives. These included the front dive, back dive, inward dive, reverse dive and a forward dive with a half twist. Some optional dives consisted of inward and back somersaults, forward and back somersaults with a full twist, or a forward dive with a full twist. Competing against schools from Amarillo, Lubbock. Abilene, and Odessa, the diving team was the only one in its district. In the El Paso Invitational, Michelle Peck placed second, Randi Jaffe. sixth. Shannon Hill seventh, and Kathy Ridenour tenth. In the Lubbock Invitational, Michelle Peck received a third place award, and Shannon Hill came in fifth. “The team really improved over last year; the dives were of higher difficulty and we really went for it as a team,” concluded Alisa Deer. diving 149 � RETURNING WITH A powerful backhand is � INTENT ON DEFEATING his adversary, sen- senior Sally Schuster. ior Donny Mordecai prepares to serve the ball. se DURING AN afternoon practice, senior Sherle Webb volleys the ball with her partner in prep- aration for an upcoming tournament. 150 the challenge Coronado traveled to state competition via the tennis express. The Texas State Team Coaches Championship was the highlight of the fall for the T-bird tennis team. Twelve athletes from Coronado traveled to Texas A M on Nov. 10 for this tournament, which meant the T-bird team was ranked among the top sixteen tennis squads in the state. However, long before the state meet, hours of practice and dozens of other matches were won by the T-birds. With a 6-0 record, the netters entered the Region Qualifying Tournament on October 9. Coronado came out victorious in the tournament over all El Paso and Ysleta schools, setting them up as top region contenders. The team came out fourth place in the Regional Team Tournament behind Abilene Cooper, Midland High and Odessa Permian. However, the finish was good enough to qualify for state, which put the players on a new high and began an old favorite—fund-raising. Homecoming weekend brought a twelve-hour tennis marathon, in which the team raised over $1000, part of which was a donation from the school presented by Principal Charles Murphree. The boys did exceptionally well in the state tournament, winning two of three matches, but the girls did not fare as well. However, Coronado did finish with an overall sixteenth ranking in the state. The boys, none of whom finished the fall with a losing record, were led by senior Don Mordecai and junior Kevin Kavanagh, who managed a doubles record of 15-1, their only loss being to a nationally ranked pair from Dallas Highland Park. Junior Susie Garner and sophomore Kirsten Price led the girls’ ladder, as they were the only girls who maintained a winning record. The girls team did have a fair season, winning five of the seven matches in the city round robin, three with shut-outs. The entire team came off an excellent fall looking forward to the individual U.L.L. competition in the spring. ♦ TOP SIX, FRONT ROW: Susan Garner Sherle Webb.

University Interscholastic League competition began in the spring, and matches were played on more of an individual basis. The spring tourneys qualified individuals, rather than the team for regional and state meets. As the district meet approached, the boys’ team looked strong and ready for the competition, according to senior Adam Smith. Senior Jerry Lavis continued by saying that the main competition would appear after district in the regional meet. The goal of the team was to advance as many people to the state meet as possible. In the boys’ singles, the first position was held by junior Wesley Ward followed by Jerry Lavis. In the doubles Kevin Kavanagh and Donny Mordecai teamed up and Adam Smith and Barry Kobren held the second spot. The girls’ district meet was scheduled for April 9 and 10, one week before the boys. In the singles for the girls, top-ranked in state competitor Susan (lamer secured the number one spot with teammate Melissa Peinado following with the second position.

The varsity baseball squad started off the season having plenty of optimism and looking for improvement over the previous year’s 7-16 record. Twelve of the thirteen returning lettermen were seniors, and they all prepared for a season that would be remembered. Coach Joe Overton explained. I'm not setting any goals. If we do the best we can, the goals will set for themselves.” The team itself, though, had a bit more definite idea in mind. At the beginning of the season, catcher Chip Wyly predicted. If our pitching comes together, I think we will be in contention for the district title.” However, the Birds struggled through the first few pre-season games. “ Although pre-season was not the best, it showed what we needed to improve upon.” said senior Dennis Jones. The regular games started March 1. and district games began on March 23. Until then the squad members took every opportunity to develop their two weakpoints, defensive fielding and pitching. The B-team, under its first season with Coach Charlie Miller, followed the varsity’s previous year's record. Coach Miller summed it up, “This season we’re going to just improve on overall fundamentals.” Added junior Richard Aldrich, “Our improvement on hitting and fielding has shown in our pre-season games,” when the B-team was 3-0. -BASEBALL SWEETHEART: Shelly Reich.

Although many sports depended on returning seniors for a good season, Coach Robert Wilson had only one back on the course—Landa Chapa. However, he also had three underclassmen from last year’s regional team—juniors Beth McCombs and Kristi Arrington and sophomore Angie Wilson. “The competition in El Paso is getting tougher,” commented Coach Wilson. “But we have the potential to take first place if the girls will work.” Seven juniors, two sophomores and the lone senior competed for the ten places on the A and B teams. “We all rely on each other to win,” stated junior Judi Birkelo. “I think that support is our key to success.” The ten girls were entered in a total of eight tournaments, including two out of town. On February 21-22, they were teeing off in the Big Springs Invitational, and the female swingers also putted in the Amarillo Relays, March 28-29. Starting off their season February 11 in the Cielo Vista Tournament, the girls were exposed to a wide variety of courses including the El Paso Country Club, Santa Teresa, Fort Bliss, Ascarate and the Coronado Country Club. “We’ve got the experience and the quality,” claimed junior Kristi Arrington.

' r , Dedicated to the sport, confident of their talent, and proud of their accom- plishments, the golf team i remained on top. Year after year, the boys’ golf team could be counted on to do well in competition; this year was no exception. In fact, senior Brian Houghton commented, “'I’his is the best team we’ve had in years.” Eight-year coach Robert Wilson agreed with Brian adding, Besides the fact that there are four returning varsity players, the team has a lot of dedicated guys that want to be the best.” The season consisted of year long practicing but competition began when the boys left for their first tournament in San Angelo on -Ian. 24. Varsity player Saul Perez remarked, doing out of town for tournaments gives you a chance to meet a lot of new people. The long hours spent practicing paid off for most. And as junior Scott Kschenbrenner explained, “No matter how good you get, you can always improve your game.” Senior Craig Hyatt reflected, The sacrifices I’ve made for golf are small compared to what it’s done for me. The glory and sad times we share as a close-knit team mean a lot.” 4 i I GOLF SWEETHEART: Lands Chapa. The girls’ track team members learned the lesson of having a good attitude as the season came to a start. The Burges Invitational opened the season with many disappointing results. The incentive to succeed did not seem to be amongst the tracksters. The numbers of qualifiers from Friday’s pre-lims were slim. The 400- meter relay team of Lori Haddad. Lori DeLisser, Lori Walker, and Andrea Justice qualified with the second best time. Later Irma Torres crossed the finish line of the 400- meter run with the best qualifying time. Both the 1600-relay and 1600- meter run made it to the finals. The next day, Feb. 24, the runners prepared for the day’s events. “Although we wanted to do well, it just seemed as though we couldn’t get it together. I really do not think that many of us were ready for the start of the season. said junior Lori Walker. The only points scored by the team were earned by senior Rose Shires, who placed fourth in the discus; Irma Torres, first in the 400 meter run; Lori Walker, fifth in the triple jump; and the two relays which placed third and fifth.

First-year head coach Ron Spott was optimistic throughout the season saying that it was to be a “building year.” Coach Spott said. We’ve had some fantastic individual efforts by some of the team; I know we’ll be coming around by district. Following the Burges Invitational Feb. 23, the team journeyed to Pecos, Texas, for the Pecos Invitational, March 1-2. We always do well at the Pecos meet; it must be something about going out of town, said senior runner Marcus Mason, who attended the meet for the third time. Coronado then hosted its own invitational the weekend of March 8- 9. It really takes a lot of time to put on a meet; it takes all of the team members working if they’re not in an event, said Spott. The boys, same as the girls, found it “unusual to be working out together. Hurdler Jody Mullings said, “I think that it was more to their disadvantage, because by the time the girls get to the upper field, we’re already halfway through with the workout, so they don’t get time to stretch. Most of the team found that practice passed a bit faster with the addition of the girls to the workout. The team was in agreement that the hours after school were definitely different and a change for the better. The ultimate goal of the team members was to reach their peak in their respective events by the time the district meet came around. According to Bob Solis, The district meet is what we’re aiming for; we should finish in the top three teams.” Coach Spott expressed the same sentiments, “Track is not a sport determined by a series of meets, but the one district meet. It’s a one-shot deal. 162 SKNIOR MIKE JARVIS clears 12 feet in his final attempt to qualify for the finals in the pole vault at the Burges Invitational. 4 LEADING his Kl Paso High opponent, senior Jody Mulling tackles the last hurdle as he races toward the finish line in the HJO-yard intermedi- ate hurdles. � APPROACHING HIS GOAL of 6 feet. 6 inches, sophomore Martin Ireland l egins his attempt at the high jump.

The volleyball team’s hard work and persistence paid off as it swept past all the other competition to capture the district title. The mark of a winning team was not an easy reputation to uphold. This was what the volleyball teams faced after capping the district championship for three consecutive years. The teams began the season by scoring high against Parkland. “All of us were nervous, it being the first game of the year, but we tried to play with confidence which boosted our morale,” related sophomore Ginger Fisbeck. The following game against Eastwood, Sept. 11, proved to be an asset for both the B-team and varsity. “Against the Troopers we played more like a district winning team, said junior Rose Shires. The varsity team next competed in the Ysleta tournament. The two-day competition proved to be a disappointment for the T-birds. The team defeated three other schools to earn the right to play in the championship match against rival Burges, but the Mustangs defeated the T-birds in the third game. The rivalry between the Mustangs and the T-birds began four years ago when both teams were up for the district championship. The Thunderbirds defeated the Mustangs in three games. Each year since then the T-birds and Mustangs have battled for the district title. Burges is always the team to beat in order for us to win district. There is always a lot of tension when we play each other,” reflected senior Kellie Hopper. The second tournament of the year for the varsity took place in Lubbock. But, this time there was no question about the outcome of the games. The Thunderbird pride and traditions continued as the volleyball team members won every match in two games, thus capturing the championship trophy. The B-team competed in the Canutillo tournament Oct. 13. The team members played well and enough to play in the semifinals. «SETTING THE BALL is sophomore Ginger Fisbeck. During this game, a controversial call was made by the referee which could have changed the outcome of the game to the T-birds’ favor. “The team members played both matches to their fullest capability. The high points were our serves and blocking techniques,” said Coach Charles Miller. Hopes for the varsity district title were dampened though. Sept. 27, when the Burges Mustangs again beat the T-birds. This was the first game the team had lost in district competition. “We could have beaten Burges had our team worked together, because I know we had the potential and talent to win,” said Beth McCombs, junior. As district progressed, so did the team members. According to Coach Lora McElligott, the major factor in the girls’ performance was outstanding improvement. This showed as the team beat every team in the district after the loss to Burges. The second time the Thunderbirds faced the Mustangs the outcome was reversed. The T-birds were ready for the fired up Mustangs and beat them after a close third match. The team met Burges a third time in the playoff game to decide the district champions. Again the T-birds came out the victors. The team then played Parkland for the bi-district game. In two matches the T-birds were named the champions. The Thunderbirds lost to Arlington the first game of the regional tournament in Abilene, thus knocking themselves out of the further competition.

Strong runners for the team appeared to he Gavin Lucero, Bobby Solis, Kevin Gallagher, Juan Vilchis, Chuck Tolson, Scott Mitcham and Johnny Ortiz. The Las Cruces Invitational proved to be exceptional for junior Gavin Lucero, who placed ninth. “The course was sandy and a mile longer than we usually ran and was harder than most courses. I just tried to stay with the pack the first two two miles and on the third I began to move up, ” explained Lucero. The next meet for the T-birds was in Midland. Again the team’s expectations were shattered. The next course was at Chamizal Park for the Bowie Invitational. Here the team placed eighth. Individual places were 22nd place by Johnny Ortiz and 34th by Gavin Lucero. In the boys open Bobby Solis stole first out of 130 runners. The district meet was at Coronado Nov. 10.

Although the team had a number of second place finishes, it did manage to set a first in the history of girls’ cross-country. It was the first time that any Coronado cross-country team had ever advanced to regionals and state. One of the most outstanding meets for the team proved to he the Las Cruces Invitational. Here the T hirds managed 5-7-8-12-22-finishes. The team finished second, only four points behind El Paso High. Coronado’s runner-up showing was anchored by Susie Mitcham, Emily Casillas, Jenny Cullen, Irma 'I’orres and Yvette DonSing. Susie Mitcham said. “We learned that we could run together. The T-birds then traveled to Midland to capture second place again. The Thunderbird girls were right in the thick of the race from the start to the finish. Susie Mitcham ran fifth in 12:16, Emily Casillas sixth in 12:19, Irma Torres seventh in 12:27, and Jenny Cullen eighth in 12:27. The Hogan Park course was difficult because it was made up mostly of rolling hills of grass. The team was just 18 points behind the first place finisher. At the Bowie Invitational, the Coronado team did not fare as well due to team members’ injuries. Casillas and Cullen placed six and seven respectively. Next, the team traveled to the Ysleta Cut-Off Park for the Ysleta Invitational. The T- birds scored 78 points to earn the second place finish. Coronado hosted the district meet which covered a two-mile run around Cloudview Park. Again the T-birds fell short of first place, but it was still good enough to earn them a spot in the regional meet Nov. 17 in Lubbock, The top two teams and first five individuals from each varsity district race went on to the regional meet which was the last step belore the state championship meet. At the regional meet the team members placed sec ul which was good enough to earn them the right to go on to state where they placed seventh.

Three-year-old Jennifer McDonald commented, “Mommy says there’s no sleeping here!” Home economics was also a step away from the usual. The students seemed to enjoy trading in their pen and paper for a spatula and mixing bowl or a sewing machine, one period a day. “It makes sense to take this class if you plan to be a bachelor; besides, you get to eat a lot,” com- mented Mike De La Vega, senior. The cooking class prepared a meal for the teachers in May, “but other than that we usually eat our own food; who else would dare?” added junior Julie Morrow. The sewing class made curtains for the home-ec room in addition to sewing clothing. An abundance of classes to choose from made P.E. an easy subject in which to find an hour’s “change.” Students filling their five required P.E. courses could be seen involved in a game of flag football, soccer, volleyball or tennis. rIT TAKES TWO to cook.

Dance and tumbling classes kept students fit while adding relaxation to busy schedules. “Modern dance is great for unwinding and it sure beats sitting in a class,” junior Cathy Timberlake conveyed. The health classes weren't what 1 expected,” related sophomore (leralyn Hatch. “They dealt with everyday problems and you get a chance to think about things that aren’t in textbooks. Most felt the popularity of health classes should be attributed to the fact that voluntary parti- cipation and discussion allowed students to feel more comfortable and really get something out of the classes offered. Even if health wasn’t required, I would have taken it, remarked senior Landa Chapa. “The class is fun and interesting . Most students tried to fit “Your Role In Life into their schedules. The class dealt with topics relevant to students today: personality, peers, contraception and parental problems were among the many covered. Mrs. Lora McEUigott health teacher, explained, “You gain insight into yourself and your students and have the opportunity for open discussion.” Whether it was Physical Education, Health, Child Development Lab or Home Economics, students prepared themselves for the future and had fun at the same time. Almost every student looked forward to an hour every day of learning experience and enjoyment. Junior Celynn Keith commented, “The fun classes break up a boring day. «LEARNING SOMETHING NEW. senior Steve Nichols takes a few hints from C.D.L. student Mary l.ouisa laiwenstein who does not think her teacher is too old or above such things as kid's stuff. academics 171 172 the challenge Career consciousness counts “Vocational training is for the college bound student as well as the non-college bound.” “The future isn’t as far off as it seems,” remarked junior Lars Klingstedt. This seemed to be the attitude prevailing among many as they enrolled in business, vocation, drafting and art classes throughout the year. Students felt these classes helped them to get a headstart on future careers. “Vocational training is for the college bound student as well as the non-college bound,” stated Mrs. Ruth Bassett, first year vocational counselor. About 156 students per quarter boarded busses each morning or afternoon to attend classes at Tech in electrical trades, cosmetology, drafting, commercial art and others. The three-hour classes gave students a headstart on college careers by providing in-depth studies into a variety of fields. Junior Danny Esparza explained, “By taking a technical drafting course at Tech, I’m putting myself ahead of those who haven’t had the benefits of such a class.” Distributive Education classes also prepared students for the world of work. Dividing their time between school and part-time jobs, students in D.E. were able to gain an upper hand in the job market. Other career-minded students didn’t have to travel as far to gain their training. The curriculum at Coronado offered students a chance to acquire business skills in shorthand, accounting, typing and recordkeeping classes. Students enrolled in business courses for various reasons. Saving time in college, training for work in the business world and using skills for their personal lives were among the reasons. Learning how to keep books in accounting has helped me to maintain a reasonable budget,” commented junior Wendel Holder. Those looking toward future professions included drafting and art students. Nancy Smith explained, “I intend to go into architecture or a related field and drafting is a good preparatory class.” Sophomore Bobhy Scott said that students start out in basic drafting by learning to draw dimensions of boxes and other similar objects. He added, “It’s third quarter that you begin to design things and drafting begins to lead to a career.” Senior Marty Licon remarked, “Drafting is a stepping stone to careers other than architecture. For example, geologists and machine welders need drafting in their fields.” A career in art is a risky business, but it is one of the most creative lines of work to go into and one can be successful at it,” commented senior Billy White. Craft courses such as weaving and ceramics lost popularity with students, while drawing and painting classes had increased enrollment. Mr. Richard Parra, art teacher, said, “Jewelry making classes are no longer offered. I’d like to see their comeback.” The art classes worked together in creating a mural for counselor Mr. Enrique Saucedo’s office wall during second quarter. Sophomore Gwendy Galbraith said, “If you don’t have the talent to make art your career, it’s still a lot of fun. ♦WORKING INTENTLY, junior Carl Ragland carefully and meticuously constructs angles on his fifth period drafting class project. ♦THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME is mold- ed by junior Gilbert Martinez as he works to com- plete a clay sculpture for art teacher Mr. Richard Parra's class. academics 173 Flip of the quarter “Shakespeare wrote on every facet of human nature and human nature never changes.” Out with the old and in with the new” formed the philosophy for the restructuring of Coronado’s curriculum. With more drastic changes to come, this year marked the beginning, as one fourth of the faculty was ousted, including five teachers from the Language Arts Department. Those instructors returning found one quarter of the student body had been removed also—the freshmen. This loss was not mourned by the staff as reflected by Mrs. Janice Dodge, head of the English department, It is definitely better without the freshmen. Things are going almost too well but that could be attributed to the fact that the sophomores have been here a year.” Next year another “quarter will be dismissed—the quarter system, due to House Bill 508. passed by the Texas State Legislature. The change to be effective statewide starting in the 1980-81 school year brought mixed emotions. “The quarter system has not lent itself to good instruction,” claimed 18-year Coronado veteran Mrs. Effie Materi. It is too fragmented. The semester system will provide a more structured curriculum.” However, English teacher Ms. Jo Ellen Perl pointed out, “Many of the fine points of the quarter system are going to be eliminated along with it.” She cited these advantages as being the variety of courses and its ability to cater to the individual student interests. Speech instructor Mr. Seldon Olson expressed a concern in the regrouping of some 33 courses offered in the speech, drama and English departments. Using two of his most popular classes, he illustrated how the conversion would be detrimental, “Interpersonal Relationships is unstructured and deals with human reactions, but Group Discussion is a more structured study in the current issues. Under the semester system, these two will probably be combined into one class which won’t be as effective due to the different bases of the courses.” Other harms that may occur as a result of the state-wide switch will fall upon the “average, advanced and academically inclined student,” expressed Mrs. Dodge, who said she felt these groups in particular were benefiting from the quarter system. With the shift, she believes the accelerated and gifted student will suffer.” Desired changes which went beyond the system and into the actual faculty and courses in speech, drama and English departments were offered by some students. Juniors Kim Karotkin and Linda Sherman conveyed an interest in a bestsellers” class which would allow the study of current literature rather than emphasis on traditional writings. Junior Beth Gottlieb suggested improving the • KXASPKRATKD, senior Steve Rudner still has to hear eight more minutes of a debator. 174 the challenge I facilities as well. “It’s hard to have drama rehearsals with the basketball team practicing in the same space.” With many ideas being formulated by teachers and students as to what the speech, drama and English curriculum should consist of and whether the “new” is actually better than the “old.” one point was clear. Next year, a more structured program of “solids and “classics” will replace the old favorites like Popular Fiction and the Youth Experience. Though many groaned and agreed with Anna Abraham’s comment of “Why do we need that old stuff,” as Mrs. Materi rationalized, “Shake- speare wrote on every facet of human nature and human nature never changes.” ♦JUNIOR GWENDY GALBRAITH.

The social studies, science, math and foreign language teachers were conscious of this obligation as they strived to teach the past and help students calculate and interpret the present. Although some students shirked from these fundamental government, algebra and biology courses, sophomore Martin Galvan expressed, “Even though you might not need it for the future, it’s good to know.” After taking these basic required classes, some found, they weren’t as difficult as they had feared. Junior David Flores discovered German was “not hard to learn—just hard to understand.” The science department tried to make it easier for resource students to understand by initiating a special pilot program. The new course was designed for the slower pupil to gain a basic knowledge of general scientific concepts. Other changes centered around the loss of faculty and removal of freshmen. The social studies, math and science departments each decreased by four teachers, while only one language faculty member departed. Mrs. Joanne Foster, head of the science department, said of the extinction of the lowest class, It’s quieter in the halls. Many improvements were envisioned by faculty and students. Mr. Rayburn Ray, Coronado’s veteran science instructor, said he wished to create an “intensive studies” program that would be “self placement” for the accelerated physicist. Many students believed it was not the subjects taught that needed upgrading but the manner in which they were taught—math especially. Some teachers explain on their level, not on the students,” complained junior Susan Harvey. Other comments on these subjects pertained to materials provided for the students. Scott Blumenfeld and Anne Morton, juniors, requested more lab equipment but Mrs. Foster explained, “The science department received the same $4 per student per student per quarter as allotted in the past.” With costs rising, it was hard to pay the bills for new equipment in the labs. There was one bill that received more attention than others, the Texas Legislature House Bill 508. Due mostly to parental pressure, the state Congress has made the decision to change the semester system by the 1980-81 school year. As a result, curriculum will be altered but in the solid subjects such as math, science and history, only the accelerated courses will be affected. Reactions to this decision were both positive and negative. “With the quarter system you’re only stuck with a teacher for twelve weeks,” commented junior Tony Giasolli. Junior Beth McCombs saw some benefits, “In the semester system you’ll have longer to learn the methods of one teacher. “The quarter system produced well- rounded individuals, praised science teacher Ms. Charlene Cervantes. She said she felt that half year classes will be too much of the solids with “brain children as the end product. Emphasizing the variety of the quarter system, she concluded, “There’s more to life than solids.” ►A CALCULATOR AIDS junior Scott Hlumen- feld in determining the answer to his math prob- lems. t • RESULTS SURPRISE junior Tina Morehead as she finishes an experiment for a chemistry class assignment.

The members were put straight to work by orchestra director Mrs. Ida Steadman. She said, “It has been very thrilling for me to work with these kids over the years. Now they are playing real orchestral music.” The students prepared different styles of music for the State Board of Education dinner on Oct. 12. Throughout Texas, high school orchestras tried out for Honor Orchestra and if chosen, traveled to San Antonio for the All-State Convention in February. The members spent endless hours practicing to make the honor rating, and junior Terri Gilbert commented, “Putting together our music was a lot of fun but also a lot of hard work and dedication.” “The orchestra has many ambitious members,” said junior Anita Steadman. “Some people tried out for All-State on Nov. 10 and many others participated in Solo and Ensemble contest in March.” IWAKMING UP on his violin before class begins is junior Lee Horwitz.

Choir members were still hard at work though two of their traditional activities were cut out. The choir’s usual list of perfor- mances included the Parade of Choirs and Festival. These two activities were dropped from the schedule due to lack of transportation funds. “I was sorry to hear that we were not going to participate in Parade of Choirs and Festival,” said senior Gaby Martinez. “I really look forward to those two programs each year.” Regional tryouts were Oct. 6 and twelve members participated in the competition. Students who made region were seniors Gaby Martinez, Mitch Wilson, Brian Geno, .John Halliday, juniors Bobby Best, Laura Mayhall, David Belew, Sonya Hoffman, and sophomores Steve Brink and Sandy Rogers. The choir also performed many concerts. In the fall was the pops concert and in December was the Christmas concert. “This year, said dress coordinator Lilly Hargrove, the girls are wearing black dresses for the concerts.” Members participated in Solo and Ensemble in February and in May, performed in the Spring Concert.

Far from being just musically inclined, the band members strove not only to work together but to become the greatest band in Coronado’s history. During the football season, early risers of the Coronado area often woke to the sound of “The Pride of the Westside” drilling for halftimes and contests. The practicing paid off when the | band ranked highly in The Sun Bowl Marching Contest in November and other similar contests during the year. Junior Russell Gevertz commented, “We really devote a lot of time to the band; and when contests roll around, the dedication pays off.” On Oct. 13, the band participated in the El Paso High School Band Night at the University of Texas at El Paso-Colorado State football game. The purpose of the event was for band members to meet, play together and bring the bands closer. To increase the band’s treasury, members sold cheese and sausages during autumn and luminarios for Christmas and had a Spirit Jar which the band people filled with change. The money earned went to increase the fund for their trip to Orlando, Florida, in the spring. “The band trips give us an opportunity to become closer with the people who we’ve been working with all year. We really accomplish a lot and have a great time, too,” remarked junior Benjie Goldfarb. Flag girls were a part of the band for the third consecutive year. Lori Guedry, junior, explained. “The flags improve the whole show, sort of fit it all together. They add a special effect that you can’t get from anything else, but they don’t take away from the band.” The band’s spirit seemed to spread through the whole school during first quarter. Albert Gonzales, junior, said, “When the band stands up to yell and scream, other Coronadoans don’t i get embarrassed if they do it too because they’re not the only ones.” Non-band member junior Christina Ratcliff concluded, “Without the 1 band, pep rallies and football games i would be nothing.” organizations 183 ♦SENIORS Brian Geno and Lori Prager are hon- ored as band beau and sweetheart at the Burges game. • BAND.

Activities included the rebuilding of the agricultural ham, the annual blood drive in late spring and preparation for the Southern New Mexico State Fair, the El Paso County Fair, both in October, and the Southwestern Livestock Show in February, as well as other smaller shows throughout the year. Senior Scott Tom bosky, president of Coronado’s chapter, remarked, I think this year’s more active chapter and increase in membership is due to the fact that we are finally beginning to grow out of our old stereotype. organizations 189 numbers and neutron! Calculations and theories were the main topics, but included were lasers and tutoring. “We are not a hunch of brains always punching buttons on our calculators, just kids who really enjoy math,” said senior Charlie Pulner. Math Club members spent their lunch hours studying the advanced topics of math not offered in the regular school curriculum. Programs included presentations by guest speakers as well as Coronado teachers and students. An important service the club members participated in was to tutor students who needed help in math. They raised money by charging 50 , cents per hour. “It’s not on a teacher- student relationship at all,” explained president Moises Mares. “It’s on a one-to-one basis and we simply clear up things that seem to be giving that particular person trouble.” “Since I enjoy math,” senior Cindy I Zargas commented, “I joined the Math Club. It has made my math I classes easier to understand and enjoy.” Building lasers and attempting to improve a coin’s coating were a couple of ideas discussed in the Science Club. “The research projects will probably be a major part of the Science Club,” said president Nipam Patel. “If so, initiating and funding individual or committee projects will be one of our main goals.” Guest speakers from U.T.E.P. and the community lectured before the group. “There are also competitive science meets at Lubbock and UTEP this spring,” said club sponsor Mrs. Joanne Foster. “The first University Interscholastic League meet at UTEP is sort of a pre-U.I.L. meet for members going to the Lubbock regional meet.” Junior Rick McNealy, after looking over the club’s start a year and a half ago, said, “The club has definitely gone uphill.

The Library Club traveled to Fort Stockton, Texas, on Oct. 27 for the District II Convention of the TALA (Teenage Library Association).

The purpose of Office Education Association was to provide the students with an opportunity of recognition for outstanding office skills and talents by means of competitive events on the local, area, state and national level. OEA serves as the sponsoring medium for leadership, education workshops and contests in and away from El Paso. explained Mrs. Frances St. Clair, sponsor. “This allows the students to receive national as well as local recognition. OEA was the pre-employment lab. The students, predominantly juniors, were in training for two hours each day. Monday through Friday. They trained in career education and office skills for office work and occupation. Junior Valerie Saenz said. OEA is so exciting because you learn how the office world works. The OEA Co-op program was for seniors only, and they continued to receive office skills training but for only one hour per school day.

There was a lot more to Distributive Education Club Association, Vocational Office Education, and Coordinate Vocation Academic Education than met the eye. These business clubs-classes were set up for a larger purpose than to allow students to work part-time while attending school. Each was designed to teach occupational skills and to develop leadership and a sense of responsibility. They allowed students to learn firsthand the “politics” of getting along with people in the business world. “You gain experience that books could never give you,” remarked junior Sonya Hoffman. Mainly, students found their own jobs but in certain cases, their sponsors found them. In these business education clubs, the majority of the members held jobs such as working at Skaggs, Safeway, McDonald’s and Jack In the Box. Senior Edward Licon commented, “Along with enjoying or disliking a job, you learn a great sense of responsibility.” The clubs sponsored a moneyraising rummage sale in October. DECA also painted store windows at Christmas time to increase funds. The money earned went towards sending members to various competitions in January, February, and April. «TAKING CALLS ia one of senior Mark Strath- mann’s lesser tasks at Great Western Properties. t I 1 t i I I I organizations 195 m ► i ► i ► I i I « STANDING AT ATTENTION are sophomore Delfino Estrada, junior Rosa Silva, sophomore Patsy Marin, junior Frank Chiappone. and senior Mahlon Williams.

ROTC brought out the qualities that otherwise might have been hidden and strengthened the ones that may have been weak. “You get the chance to learn things that can be used in everyday life,” senior Cindy Duvall explained. It’s not just for those who plan on being housewives.” Future Homemakers of America was designed to provide opportunities for self-development, cooperative action and involvement in the society. We had exhibits and guest speakers of different aspects of home- economics,” commented sponsor Ms. Pura Viera. “In October, we had a beautician from Ivan International who explained hair cutting and gave a demonstration.” FHA sold cookbooks and held bake sells throughout the year to raise funds. With these funds, members bought supplies to use during program meetings. In these meetings, we learn new and different recipes and tips to help us where we need it,” remarked junior Carolyn Davis. In September, the members made lasagna for the El Paso City Council. “It was great cooking something the mayor might have eaten,” senior Lori Flaiz exclaimed. I just hope he didn’t get sick!” Though the chapter was traditionally based on cooking, baking, and sewing, FHA covered careers in fashion, psychology and other related careers. Careers totally different from home economics were based on the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. “Like guys can excel in home ec, girls can in ROTC,” remarked senior Sally Lackey. The main purpose of ROTC is to learn citizenship along with organization, leadership development, teamwork, communication, management aid and patriotism, explained sponsor Major .Joe Moore. •Junior Sylvia Oaxaca concluded, ROTC makes learning skills and discipline interesting and enjoyable.” organizations 19? Experiencing many old traditions of the ancient Romans, the Latin Club brought Old Rome into modern day life. It is the quality that counts, not the quantity, as the old saying goes. With less than a dozen members, the Latin Club was one of the smallest clubs at Coronado. Sophomore Melissa Goad said, “We are like one small, happy family.” The club’s main interest was to promote the study of Latin outside the classroom. Projects included the sale of caramel apples and feasts. The first feast was the Feast of the Plebes. It was the initiation of the new members. The members wore the traditional togas and laurel leaves typical of the ancient Romans. In December, members had the feast of Saturnalia. President Nipam Patel commented, “There’s more than enough food and we usually just eat the whole evening.” “I think being in the Latin Club helps me to enjoy my Latin class better,” sophomore Janet Musgrave concluded.

It was required that grade school students be taught the consequences of taking drugs. Members taught the sixth grades how to cope with peer pressure and how to handle problems by discussing issues with them.

Quill and Scroll was a club exclusively for the students on either newspaper or yearbook staff in the top third of their class. “After all the hard work and long hours we put into our publications, keeping our grades up can be difficult. That’s why the club was created, to give journalists incentive,” explained junior Lori Haddad. Mrs. Linda Lockett, adviser, added, “At the end of the school year, Quill and Scroll tries to sell pictures and we sponsor the May journalism banquet at Cattleman’s.” Senior Merry Rozendal concluded, “You might say Quill and Scroll is one of the most elite clubs in the school.” «SENIOR DAVID PEARLMUTTER work on cropping a picture for a layout for the Explorer. organizations 199 “Our goal and purpose is to perform and explore the different fields of dance in hopes of informing and enlightening our audience.” Orchesis members did all their own costuming and choreography for performances. The Orchesis Honorary Dance Club was open only to those people who auditioned and were selected. To audition, students had to make up an original composition and perform before four judges who were professional dancers. The best dancers were chosen. Eleven students received the honor this year, while four students remained in Orchesis from last year. “Our goal and purpose is to perform and explore the different fields of dance in hopes of informing and enlightening our audience, said senior Susan Saunders, president. Members performed at the Homecoming pep rally, basketball coronation, and the modern dance concert in the spring. They also I performed with the performing modern dance class. “The best part of speech and drama is going out of town for tournaments,” said sophomore Amy Sloan. Members competed in tournaments throughout the year to prepare for the spring UIL district competition. Club members sponsored a tournament for other schools. Schools from many areas of Texas and New Mexico participated Dec. 7-8 at the tournament. “We schedule the events in a unique way to give the student a chance to compete in several events,” , said senior Lisa Furman. Drama students presented plays during the year. Dracula” was the first play presented. It featured a | large cast, which gave more people a chance to participate. Dracula was also the main fund raiser for Speech and Drama since it was a non-royalty ' presentation. Another fund-raising project was collecting aluminum cans to be recycled. “This way we can raise money and clean up the environment, said junior Monica Rodriguez.

Long hours of practice for tournaments was well worth the time for the Chess Club members, who won the city title four years in a row. “We’re a group of people interested in having fun as well as learning about chess,” explained senior Bruce Slatton. Members could be found congregating at lunch in Mr. Hunter Faires’ room, who sponsored the team. The traditional blue berets accompanied by shirts with the team emblem were worn by club members at tournaments. They competed against students from other schools in four rounds of chess.

Members learned a lot about the wilderness during the outings. “We like to have fun,” added senior Jody Mullings. We hike, ski, camp and ride the rapids in a canyon near Big Bend. Members went to Los Palomos, Mexico, to visit a site where archaeologists found artifacts. The members hoped to find some artifacts for themselves. Other trips included going to the Gila Cliff Dwellings and Big Bend. It’s great being out in the wilderness and close to nature,” explained senior Nancy Smith. KALEIDOSCOPE STAFF.

Stu- dent Council representative: David Pcarlmutter, journalism representative; and Ron Marks, stu- dent body representative. k Seniors get example Even though it was perhaps the school’s most unknown, misunderstood committee, the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee’s purpose was to work to help change the school and its policies for the better. Many students complain about school, and some think that they can do a better job running it than the administrators. Why don’t the students get to voice an opinion about what happens to them and their school? What most students don’t know is that they do have a voice in school politics. This voice doesn’t gripe at the teachers or even the principal: this voice takes its complaints and suggestions to the superintendent of the El Paso Public Schools, Mr. Ron McLeod. The name of this voice is the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee, commonly known as SAC. From each of the eight schools in the EPPS system, there are three SAC members, one from the student body, one from the Student Council, and one from the journalism department. These students meet once every three weeks at the superintendent’s office to discuss the problems common to the schools. When a problem and solution is agreed upon, it is formally written up and given to the superintendent. Journalism representative, senior David Pearlmutter said, “I think SAC is a great asset to the student body and can change the school system for the better, if given the chance. All we need is a little more input from the students.” Some things discussed at the meetings were letteriackets, the changing of the grading system to give difficult courses more weight, cheerleaders’ uniforms, yearbook advertising, and fund-raising. “What I would like to get passed is a recommendation for a special smoking section at the schools, which will keep the students from smoking in the bathrooms and parking jots. With all the gas fumes and leaks in the parking lots, smoking can be dangerous. This system is already in use in the Ysleta school system,” said the student body representative, sophomore Ron Marks. “When people hear about the students having a say in the running of the schools, they don’t think it will work. What they don’t know is that less than ten years ago female students and teachers were not allowed to wear slacks or jeans to school. The SAC students brought their complaints to the superintendent and the policy was changed,” remarked senior Holly Sargent, Student Council representative. Keeping the administration abreast of stuaents’ wants and needs was the whole idea behind SAC. 206 the challenge 1 i The National Junior Honor Society’s rookie year was a busy one. The purpose of NJHS was to recognize scholastic achievement and promote educational ideas through school and educational services and activities. These services included learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation. “I’m glad I learned CPR,” junior Kristi Zarges said, “because I never know when I’ll need to use it.” The members also visited the planetarium and listened to an astronomer speak Oct. 18. At Christmas, to raise money, the members had a tamale sale. They also climbed Mt. Cristo del Rey with a local geologist. “We are really excited about NJHS. We think it is a great organization and will stay around for a long time,” remarked president Martha Behlke. ♦NJHS OFFICERS: Mrs. Teresa Peevey, spon- sor; Martha Behlke, president: Scott Blumen- field, vice president: Dan Stoelzel, secretary-trea- suer. 4 NJHS FRONT ROW: Howard Heller.

Junior Lori Haddad said, “Everything from writing the article to printing the picture to writing the captions has to be done on time; otherwise, you mess up the other journalists.” Journalism activities included putting on a pep rally skit, selling yearbooks at lunch and making posters, all of which enabled the staff to promote yearbook sales. Senior Kristi Bang said, “The skit was what really made me feel like a crazy journalist. Assistant editor, senior Merry Rozendal remarked, “The more we do together as journalists, the more involved we become, the more people realize how serious we are about putting out a good yearbook.” “Little is needed to explain how quickly long hours and tired bodies are forgotten, when the final product—Legend ’80 is finished.

But I still can't juggle blue pencils...” Guided by their imaginary sage Zelmo N. Cruex, Explorer staff members met the challenge of newspapering head-on. Led by senior David Pearlmutter, editor, and Mrs. Linda Lockett, adviser, the staff produced its publication every two weeks in hopes of providing information and entertainment for the student body. The Explorer’s style received a facelift thanks to a new format and printer, and for the first time the newspaper was available by subscription for the entire school year. According to David, “The changes were all part of an effort to increase student interest in the paper, and the school in general. Working on the Explorer meant tight deadlines and lengthy after- school layouts for not only writers, but photographers and advertising salesmen as well. “Everyone has to pitch in his fair share,” commented senior Martin Torres, assistant editor, “in order for us to put out a good newspaper that people will enjoy.” The Explorer provided the first chance for many staffers to see their own writings in a publication. “It’s a good feeling to see my work in print,” said sophomore features editor Angel Lopez. “I like to hear praise, but criticism is also important because it helps you improve your writing.” The staffers supplemented their long hours of work by indulging in weekly football pools and other offkey activities in the journalism room. “In journalism, I gained a great deal of knowledge about blue pencils,” said copy editor Ron Marks, a sophomore, “and I also learned how to juggle.

I’ll be your best pal,” begged Lisa Stein. Pleas from the cheerleaders to buy blue and gold pompons echoed throughout the school. This fund-raising project, along with car washes and caramel apple sales, went towards new sweaters and skirts for the cheerleaders. Chosen by five judges on their coordination, pep and appearance, the varsity cheerleaders cheered for all varsity boys’ sports, while the junior varsity cheerleaders cheered for all varsity girls’ sports. “People don’t realize all the things we do,” remarked junior varsity cheerleader, Lorie Ramos. The girls were in charge of arranging the pep assemblies, which involved decorating the gym, making up skits and putting together pompon routines. “A lot of work goes into a pep rally; we plan and organize each one,” said varsity cheerleader, Michelle Rosen. To further the promotion of spirit, the cheerleaders had a poster-of-the- week contest and gave a trophy to the most spirited class. “It’s really hard to motivate the crowd, so we try to get them going with contests,” explained varsity cheerleader, Jennifer Dillman.

This gave students a chance to compete in German speaking and composition. « « «« A «« C « We’re a spirited club. We have poster parties before pep rallies,” said senior Merry Rozendal.

The Spanish Club took advantage of that closeness and participated in many Mexican customs. “We mixed work and fun throughout the year with projects and parties, commented president June Porter. One of the old traditions of the Spanish Club was to sell corsages and boutonnieres for Homecoming. The Posada, which is a progressive dinner during the Christmas season, was enjoyed by all the members. Sophomore Caryn Curry said, “We walked from house to house singing Mexican songs and really having a good time.” The club members made a trip across the border for a visit to Juarez where they visited the market and the country club area. Katie Fennell, sophomore, felt the club was superbly organized and said, “I would not have missed being a part of the club for anything, and I really am glad I am a part of it.” «SENIORS WENDY OPPENHEIMER and Hoi ly Sargent answer a question about Homecoming corsages asked by senior David Shelter.

The days of the Old West have gone and the new Wild West has made its mark. The times have been set, the challenges have been conquered, and the victories have been recorded. In every aspect, from cross- country to chess, we, the new Westerners have made the West a legend. From the vast emptiness of a one-street town, occupied with outlaws, there has grown an empire filled with enthusiastic, competitive and “wild” westerners. Since Coronado’s first chapter, beginning eighteen years ago, this western saga has been filled with many accomplishments and few defeats. Starting in the early Sixties with the Vietnamese warfare, the first walk on the moon, an assassinated president, a fiasco called Watergate, and a bicentennial celebration of our country, few happenings went unnoticed. Yet, the list continued with the birth of a test tube baby, a Mideastern peace treaty, a revolution in Iran and the deaths of two popes, Elvis Presley, John Wayne and ... Morris the cat. This number eighteen, however, did have much significance. During these years the 23rd amendment, giving eighteen-year-olds the right to vote, became effective. Looking to the future, these adolescents, now adults, will become the doctors, lawyers and politicians of the new West. 218 the closing «Leaving all worries behind, junior Lori Guedry rejoices at the end of a long day. ♦Showing spirit for NHS, seniors Su- san Saunders and Nipam Patel paint a car. ► Making the saving tackle, sophomore Jesus Rubio stops Andress from scor- ing. ►Working on the week’s pep rally post- er. students find the only available area is the hall. ►Participating in 50’s day, senior Wendy Oppen- heimer prepares to skate away. t I «Instead of going to Leo's, senior Reba Blum skates during lunch. ►Before the play Dracula,” sopho- mores Betsy Peticolas and Christy Pe- terson apply make-up carefully. ♦Seniors Laurie Strommer and Nancy Doornwaard study for their next period test. the closing 219 of ttsg West Seeking new trails and looking for different avenues, all struggled to become successful. Who was to say what the future might hold? Tomorrows—the times which seemed never to come but always passed too quickly. The yesterdays were soon packed away only to open the doors to the future. The future—a time of looking toward more accomplishments, in sports, in academics and in professions. If it wasn’t to spend a consecutive year on these western grounds, it was to seek new horizons in those free years after graduation. The uncertainty of where to go, of what to become, all were combined into the mystery of the future. Preparing for a halftime show, the Hag girls march down to the football field.

The beginning, the middle and now the end; it’s the end of another school year, a decade and a legend—a Legend of the West. Some may not have known their destination; yet, their past was clearly defined. Those good times of winning past district in volleyball, football, and tennis, of scoring first divisions in debate and UIL competitions, all proved that we were the “Best of the West.” It took a special pride, desire and winning character that only these Westerners had. With the close of a decade, so does this Western Legend come to its end. The achievements have been made and new goals for the Eighties have been set.

Education for them went beyond books, classes and cramming for tests. It meant spending their free time participating in clubs and other activities. Responsibilities often replaced recreation, but their sacrifices were not without reward. Their achievements, however, could not be measured in the trophies they received, but in immeasurable self- pride and knowledge of their own success.

The academic program and Nipam’s participation were main factors in his achievements but hard work, talent and intelligence played an important part also. The science field proved to be his main interest. As a junior, he served as Biology Committee Chairman of the Science Club. Then he served as president of the club his senior year. He was a member of the Senior Science Seminar for four years and served as a judge in Elementary Grade Level Science Fairs for three years. He was one of the authors of two papers, one of which was accepted for publication in the Journal of Experimental Biology and the other submitted to the Journal of Developmental Biology. His other honors included the Daughters of the American Revolution Award for Excellence in American History, which he won as a freshman. He became a National Merit Semi-Finalist as a senior and served as vice president of National Honor Society as well as president of the Latin Club and member of the Math Club. Nipam also enjoyed tennis, skiing, mountain climbing and photography as well as working on his butterfly collection. 230 the index Oropeza. Anna 88 Oropeza. Luis 88 Oropeza. Marin 106 Orozco.

Band had played a big part in this senior’s high school life. Beth played the oboe in the band and orchestra her first two years at Coronado. She then received the honor of being drum major as a junior and a senior. Leading the “Pride of the Westside in Texas Stadium was a fringe benefit that came with her job. Since it was the band’s last performance of the season, the senior expressed, “What a way to go!” , Music was not Beth’s only interest. Elected to Student Council Senate three years in a row, she also became the organization’s secretary. The Spanish Club and National Honor Society kept Beth running from classes to meetings. Because of her outstanding record, she was chosen to Who’s Who and Senior Executive Committee her final year at high school. Beth claimed she was proud to have been a Thunderbird, “I went to a convention in Dallas and the people I met from all over Texas had all heard of Coronado. They knew about our winning tradition it made me feel like a winner.” This busy senior planned to stay in her home state to attend either UTEP or Texas Tech. At either school, music will not be her main interest because Beth plans a career in interior design. Rodriguez, Veronica 90. 161 Rodriguez. Richard 90 Roederer. Mary 108 Rogers.

This area of El Paso has been almost lost amongst the new. towering buildings that encompass it. EL PASO BEGAN TO GROW as a city with the construction of the railroads. What was once a small smelter town began its industrialization. Some of the first city ordinances included prohi- bition of bathing, wading, diving or ducking in public ditches. 234 the western legends this is now El Paso, like most growing cities, has its important legends. It also has an interesting history. A lot of trivia is mixed in with El Paso’s history and its legends. This is a small composite of the trivia found when investigating the founding of El Paso. El Paso was incorporated as a city in 1873. The first mayor was Benjamin S. Dowell, who prior to his serving as mayor, owned a popular saloon. Before the building of Catholic churches in the city, dedicated worshippers crossed over into Juarez by means of a primitive ferry. Before the area of El Paso became an organized community, the trails and roads were titled by their destination. St. Louis was the stagecoach stop for St. Louis, Missouri. One of the first private schools was called “El Paso’s Select School for Males and Females.” Mesa Street, once called South Utah Street, had a reputation for its “red light district.” The name was later changed to clean up the reputation. THE OLD AGE OF BUILDINGS can often be determined by the means of advertising. REFLECTIONS of the new and old Wild West greet El Paso's visitors. THE OLD DIRT ROAD route takes one to San Elizario. the scene of the famous Salt War. The Salt War was the only time in Texas history that the Texas Rangers surrendered. onColophonColophonColo] Colophon - ‘Kal-o-fan, - fan n. (L., fr.

Within the 236 pages of each of the 1350 1980 Legends exist what perfection (and some imperfections) that the Legend staff could produce. The cover consisted of a tip-on four color picture with molded hot foil gold stamping of letters and design, all on a Stagecoach fabric. The cover and backbone lettering was designed by junior Kathy Green, as was all art throughout the book. The cover picture was taken by senior Martin Torres and junior Denise Buser at the Paso del Norte Hotel in the Ben Dowell Saloon. Costumes for the girls in the pictures were provided by the Paso del Norte Hotel and designed by Guy Rex. The endsheets and division pages were printed in engravers brown. The pictures for the endsheets and some historical pictures on pages 44. 45 and 234 were provided by the El Paso Public Library. The book was printed on 80-pound white gloss paper by •losten’s American Yearbook in Visalia, Calif. All type was set in Century Schoolbook with body copy 12 point in the opening and closing and before every 10 point body copy throughout the rest of the book. Captions and folios were set in 8 point.

I guess I didn't realize what being a yearbook editor entailed. The endless hours of being in Room 213 finally began to get to me. Yet. there seemed to always be that one force thai brought everyone together, that force that made this Legend what it is or will be for those in later years. I am proud to have taken part in the production of this book and can only hope that everyone can take pride in what it represents— the Best! I would like to thank those who especially affected me during the production of this book, Teresa Toner, co-editor 1980 Legend; Mr. and Mrs. Dale Ixickett: Mr. Mike Higgins. Josten American Yearbook school representative; Mr. Charles Murphree; Mrs. Anne Butcher; and Mr. David Cohen. A special thanks goes to Don and Barbara Litchfield. The 1980 Legend staff, and finally the Class of 1980 and all other Coronado Thunderbirds, without whom this Western l-egend would have been virtually impossible. CO Cd� � - ‘fSO Lcbt NO With the last deadline finished, it is time to sigh with relief, after thanking the many people involved in this production. At the top of the list is adviser.

Special thanks goes to those who kept perfection and creativity in their work: Patti Toner, Kathy Green. Greg Spier, and Ricky Suhler. My parents, David and Teresa Toner, also gave me their support. These people are as much a part of yearbook '80 as I am. If 1 had to dedicate the book to one person, it would be to Jonathan Leach, who showed me that uniqueness should not be hidden.
