Events proved the world was changing even faster than peo- ple could flip the pages of their calendars. In November a group of Ira- nian militants stormed the Ameri- can Embassy and held American diplomats hostage. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan followed, further stunning the world com- munity.

We had to take things as they came, and we didn’t like it. In the school community, fall came and went, carrying with it disappointments. Students tried to turn the disappointments around as if to say, ‘‘We’ll do bet- ter next time.’’ And we usually did. Pep rallies, not always as exciting as some _ wished, improved. In football the win over South Zone champions Waco- Connally showed we were a force to be reckoned with despite our 6-4 record. See et Se Tangled, snarled, and tied.

Freshmen and sophomores filed into the euditorium for achievement tests. Test results were to help determine how much curriculum revision was needed. Students took these tests with reservations because, although they meant getting out of class, taking tests just wasn’t any fun.

Unfortunately, Mount St. Hel- ens was not the only thing erupt- ing in the country. Two faraway places, Iran and Afghanistan, caused students to ponder many things, among them, should women as well as men be drafted? At Crowley, however, things rolled along pretty much as usual. Students seemed to survive by living from one big event to the next. The all-school musical ‘Hello, Dolly!’’ and the Senior F or the first time since 1917 a Bring in the clowns.

Grand Illusion gave those of var- ying degrees of talent an oppor- tunity to display it. Between acts, so to speak, students went to concerts and Saw movies. They carefully observed changes in dress length and hairstyles so that when they went to hear Willie Nelson or just to see ‘‘Kramer vs. Kramer’ they would be appropri- ately attired.

Too often, theirs began once school was dismissed. Getting out of school found students heading in many different directions for many different reasons. Many high school students proudly count themselves among the working force. Involved in VOE, DE, ICT, or other vocational programs meant getting a job and acquiring a F or some most days began in measure of independence. So students headed for jobs of all sorts: they sold linens, cut meat, bagged groceries. Theirs was a world of dual responsibility, to their job and to their school work. Band trips, conventions, work- shops, dress rehearsals, U.I.L. competition in faraway towns: all these meant that students spent as much time and effort on pro- jects outside the school as in it.

It seemed that we no longer had control over events but instead had to accept and deal with each prob- lem as it arose. Perhaps the most shocking event occurred in Teheran, Iran, in November when Iranian stu- dents stormed the U.S. Embassy taking 62 diplomatic officials hostage. Following a few days the students, professed followers of the Ayatollah Khomeini, released all blacks and women and demanded the return of the deposed Shah in exchange for the 50 remaining hostages. A Talon-sponsored opinion poll showed many students expressing anger and frustration. Others were just plain scared. When asked that the best approach would be, Student Council president Pam Hix stated, ‘| believe a solution can best be worked out by doing exactly what we are doing, taking things calmly.” Other students saw the shadow of war behind this latest blow to U.S. prestige. Audrey Hernandez felt that military inter- vention should be used only ‘“‘if there is no other alternative. All we want is peace and we should do everything in our power to obtain this peace. War or military intervention shouldn’t have to be the answer.’ Before we were allowed to fully recover from Iran, the Soviet Union invaded and occupied . another Arab country, Afghani- stan. It appeared that the Soviets 16 world events were trying to establish a new sphere of influence in the Per- sian Gulf. In retaliation President Carter imposed several limita- tions on trade with the Soviet Union. His most controversial decision, however, was one to boycott the 1980 Olympic games in Moscow. The problems of Iran and Afghanistan brought up the pos- sibility of the reinstatement of the draft. Turning 18 suddenly became very important for a new reason. Students in government Classes and in hallways dis- cussed the pros and cons of the draft and of the possibility of drafting women. Students have long studied and been appalled by the treat- ment of the Jewish people at the hands of the Germans during World War Il. All of a sudden they discovered that another people faced a similar holocaust, this time by hunger, disease, and man’s indifference. They were the Cambodians, a people uprooted from their homes by years of war and strife. Even though Cambodia seemed so distant and their problems unimaginable, many students wanted to help. After watching the ABC television doc- umentary in history classes and at home, students initiated a fund raising effort. Journalism stu- dents manned jars in the cafete- ria so that others, by sacrificing a soft drink or a cinnamon roll, might contribute to the fund. Stu- dent Council sponsored an assembly whose proceeds went to the Cambodia fund. These efforts resulted in over $200 being sent to the World Vision Ever upward. Gas prices soar over a dollar as the energy crunch contin- ues. Organization where $25 would buy 100 pounds of rice. As it turned out, $25 would buy more rice than it would gas- oline. Signs posted at filling sta- tions in the Fort Worth area soon displayed amounts well over a dollar. Teachers began taking car pools seriously, and many students found that cruising around town was no longer an activity they could take lightly. Weekly paychecks shrank as the inflation rate edged toward 20 percent. = Photo by Fort Worth Star-Telegram Angry protesters.

Each cheerleader worked frantically to involve her section in cheering and showing that they had some life and energy about them. As a group cheer- leaders labored to bring new yells and skits to all the pep ral- lies. ‘Hey, one, two,”’ was the com- monly heard command that brought the students’ attention to the band’s beginning song. As students walked into the gym, they always did so to the rallying beat provided by the band. No matter whether we gave all the spirit we had or just half of it, these spirit leaders kept on trying to get more from us than our best. They wanted perfection, and each time we went down hill a little bit, they brought us back up to a peak. Hurry, they’re coming in.

In one pep rally the football team gave a cake to the cheer- leaders reversing the normal practice.

Girls gazed through the windows at the dis- play of mums, and wondered when the long-awaited invitation would come. Chatter rose in the halls as friends discussed what they would wear. Finally the day arrived. People rushed about anxiously awaiting the dismissal bell. Shortly after sixth hour began, the distant strains of the fight song were heard in the halls as the band and cheerleaders ran through the halls gathering students as they went. The parade spilled out into the mall and toward the foot- ball stadium picking up a few genuine grads on the way through the parking lot. The pep rally itself was not unusual as far as pep rallies go. The Talonettes and cheerleaders did their best to out-do previous performances, and in some ways, succeeded. The Fish, though, stole the show when they presented seniors Sherry Woerner and Mel Reese a spe- cial award — a genuine, frozen fish. Mel and Sherry did the expected by stomping it into the ground. Homecoming night, always a heartbreaker for many, was especially sad for some. The announcement of homecoming queen and her crowning, origi- nally planned for half time, had to be conducted on a moment's notice before the game. Cheer- leaders and Talonettes nominees had to scramble to change in time for the ceremony, and some had to appear in uniforms rather than dresses. ; Just crowned.

Seniors elected four: Tamara, Leslye, Tisha, and Mar- vis. On the appointed day, Student Council members, the sponsor- ing organization, passed out bal- lots and all students voted for one senior girl as well as one girl from their respective class. During the homecoming pep rally those who were elected princess were announced to a roar of applause; Kelei, Yolanda, and Julie stood as their names were called.

People like Lori Mauldin and Terri Eller took to the lake for ski- ing and swimming. Lori com- mented, ‘‘Just getting away from Crowley for awhile brings relief and then | am ready to start fresh on Monday.”’ Many students felt that church groups and Christian-related groups such as Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Discovery enabled them to talk out their problems together.

As the year reached an end, many seniors began focusing more on what college they would attend or career they would like to explore. For this reason the Student Council held a College and Career Day where students attended seminars to learn more about careers and colleges. Spring Fever Week was a full week of activities. It was filled with T-Shirt Day, Twins Day, Rags Day, Backwards or Inside- out Day, and Fifties Day. Two new committees worked all year around. The Birthday Committee fixed a birthday cake each month for the teachers whose birthday fell in the month. They also had a Lunchroom Committee whose job was to decorate the cafeteria.

At times ath- letes have the potential for accomplishments, but something just goes wrong in the process. The fair 6-4 record that Crowley possessed showed an under- standing of undeveloped poten- tial. The unit had as much talent as a 1971 squ ad that went to the state semi-finals before losing to perennial power Sonora, 19-12. After cap- turing two straight tri- umphs, a 50-0 thrashing of Alvarado, and a 31-0 whip- ping of Midlothian, the Eagles were _ heavily favored over Brewer but were submerged 15-0 on two jaunts by Bear QB Jim Enright. Crowley then added two more wins to its pre-district credit with a 15- 7 victory over Mansfield and a 28-20 thriller over south zone champion Waco Connally. District battles were: Everman — Both of the teams were predicted for second in zone competi- tion, but the speed of the Bulldogs was too much for the Eagles as they sped by Crowley 28-10. Speedy backs Rudy Jackson, 58 football SeaSOf?n. Reudi Hill, Kurt Boson, and Rod Smith each had an Everman score; Mark Moncrief had the lone tally for Crowley on a 39- yard run, and Gary Reasons added a 19-yard FG. Stephenville — Yellow-Jacket South American exchange stu- dent Mike Lanzalaco ran for 139 yards as Stephenville outyawned Crowley 6-3. All-district RB Mark Moncrief had 93 yards rushing in the losing cause, and Gary Rea- sons contributed a 23-yard FG. Cleburne — Another swarm of Yellow Jackets were in the path but the Eagles extinguished this troup 30-19. The 185-pound Moncrief did a number of things in this outing. For starters he scored 4 TD’s, then preceded to gain 189 yards on 30 carries. Moncrief also went over the 1,000 yard barrier bringing his total to 1,023. Reasons provided a 30-yard field goal to add to the margin. Brownwood — Defending state champion Brown- wood came to Crowley for victory under its belt, 28-7. All-district Lion QB Tim Oerlein sneaked for 2 td's, and Kirk Chastain added another, building an insur- mountable 21-0 lead. The Eagles’ only score came on a 79-yard pass completion from QB Tommy Roten- berry to Albert Perez.

Also, he was a two-year starter at defensive end and an Honorable Mention All-Tarrant County pick.

Perez ran, Jennings stunned in top plays Granbury — The weakling of 3A- 11 met the Eagles in the season ender, and Crowley blasted Granbury 41-8. Only a minute into the game all-purpose Gary Reasons jaunted 65 yards for the TD and also kicked the extra point. A safety by Billy Hendrix and a QB sneak by Ronnie Miller put the dismal Pirates ahead 15- 8. RB Mark Moncrief then spurted 52 yards for the third tally. As Reasons added the point after, Crowley went into the locker room with the lead 22-8. Second half action saw Perez run in from the 5, and junior reserve tailback Troy Secchio had runs of 37 and 48 yards to his credit and both were for TD’s ringing out the scoring. OFFENSIVE PLAY OF THE YEAR November 2, 1979 Even in a losing situation this effort by senior Albert Perez was no less than spectacular. Early in the fourth quarter against the district champion Brownwood Lions with the Eagles trailing 21- 0, quarterback Tommy Roten- berry dropped back into the pocket and spotted Perez across the middle. Perez, a fleet speed- ster, spun away from the first apparent tackler, then pro- ceeded to avoid two more on his way for 79 yards. DEFENSIVE PLAY OF THE YEAR September 28, 1979 Late in the tilt against Mansfield, a rejuvenated Crowley defense trying to hold on to a 13-7 margin was put to the task. Having to attempt passes deep in the hole, Mansfield QB Bruce Petty was sacked twice consecutively by All-District DT Chris Jennings, and DE Mark Moncrief along with Jennings for the safety, thus pre- serving the 15-7 victory. football 61 JOHN HAUSNER (HB-LB) Sph.

The duo did come he did state, ‘‘We didn’t reach our full potential, but it was not a disappointing year, either. We would have been better if there were more coaches. However, there were scarcely enough coaches for the varsity, let alone the j.v.”’ Whatever the problem was, it was true that both would much rather bring future victories to the program. together once for a combined team-crushing of AAAA Burle- son. ‘We lacked spirit and the sup- port of the fans,’’ King stated, ‘‘It was hard for our team,to get fired up when there was no one in the stands to support us.” The observation by King was only one of many he substanti- ated, but his final comment was the harshest. ‘‘We had too many individuals instead of team effort. | hope that some day somebody will have confidence in our team, and we will win a lot of games.”’ The success of Schreiner’s team was somewhat limited but Junior varsity team members are. front row: Ken Guidry, Jeff Stauovik, Keith Hall, Rico Chazaretta, Jeff Osmun, Danny Smith, Leo Moreno, Rhys Boyce, Kenny Rotenberry.

Splitting time between the junior-varsity and the varsity, Sherry Taggart, still could not give the varsity a youthful appearance.

It helps us grow and become better with new and better people.”’ Regarding the height factor which seemed to plague the team, Taggart stated, ‘'lt doesn’t have much to do with volleyball but it helps. It has more to do with skill.”’ | 70 volleyball Perhaps it is easy to find a per- son who contributes to his own individual accomplishments. But finding an athlete who would much rather develop team skills is rare. Kim Guidry, a 5’6” All-District recipient, was considered an ath- lete of many trades but most of her achievements are done in team sports. About the team who recorded a 7-12 record opposed to the 12- 5 unit she played on previously, she said, ‘‘In no way did we reach our potential. The record was below our capabilities, and | think we had a lot of problems with complacency.’ You would never find Mic- helle Bray not hustling. Never failing to dive after a low serve or jump to reach one out of range was Bray’s style. Bray was complimentary about first year coach Ms. Jodi Fulkerson, ‘‘She was extremely helpful. She taught us new skills, new tactics, and she really supported us. She was the backbone of the team.”’ “The attitude of the team and unity helped us always keep us in the game and never give up,’’ she stated. ‘We all had worked together before, so it was easier learn- ing together.”’ Spikers 1980 ALL-DISTRICT PICK Grand Prairie 9-15 10-15 Brewer 9-15 9-15 Kim Guidry, 5’6” senior was a ool years ae ee talented all-around athlete who Burleson 16-14 7-45 {2-15 excelled in sports to the point Mansfield 9-15 16-18 that she started in every team Keller 12-14 Toh 15-15 sport.she attempted.

Coming closer each time, the varsity cagers came within one victory of capturing a spot. But a late season loss at the hands of Brownwood cost the squad the last position in the district tourna- ment. The Lions advanced due to the fact that Cleburne was penalized for a coaching incident with an official. Before coach Mike Cook’s troops got untracked, the unit was handed a 37-36 loss to Castleberry and a demoralizing 118-56 thrashing by Carter-Riv- erside in pre-district action. At the Midlothian Invitational, with Gary Reasons gaining an all- tournament berth, the team placed second. More pre-district action saw two heartbreaking one-point losses to Northwest and a two-point loss to AA power Bowie. The first Northwest defeat was at the Crowley Tournament in the quarter-finals after the Eagles had upended Aledo 58- 50 before a capacity crowd. Even though the 9-15 log was not any better than the 11-14 mark the preceding year, the team did improve on the stat charts, starting with the team’s 60 per cent free throw shooting over last year’s 51 percent. Mark Johnson, a 6 2” reserve post- man, shot an outstanding 81 per- cent from the line leading the unit. Johnson was described by Mr. Cook as ‘‘a good rebounder having the ability to block shots.”’ The highest percentage shot by a starter was by Dwayne Nea- gle.

He usually made the offense click.”’ For the second consecutive year, Reasons, the 6’4” All-Dis- trict forward, was the leader in both scoring and rebounding categories. He garnered a 15.8 scoring average and a 8.3 board mark. About Reasons Mr. Cook said ‘‘He was our most consist- ent player.’ The streaking Rea- sons also led the unit from the field with a 45 percent standing.

In a limited amount of time, Lofquist’s stats were 1.1 points per garne, shot 27 percent from the field. He avenged his ani- mated totals with shooting 75 percent from the line which showed some ability. Of the transition of changing from a freshman to a member of the game of giants, Lofquist said, ‘‘On varsity you have to be much quicker and you have to disguise your moves a lot more. We faced more good shooters and ballhan- — dlers.”’ After spending two years on less than successful teams, 3-10 on freshman and 4-12 on junior varsity, 5’10” junior wing Doug Tackett emerged as an honora- ble mention choice in his initial season on varsity. He was sec- ond on the team with a 7.2 scor- ing clip and was tied for the team lead in assists with point guard Dwayne Neagle (1.7), but the 4.0 turnovers seemed to be his only fault. About the inadequacy in league play, Tackett said, ‘Some teams were just outright better than us. ’ He was referring to the two teams in district, Everman and Cleburne, which Crowley had failed to defeat in the two years tbat they have competed against them. ‘Altogether we did pretty well, but not as good as we could have been. We weren't lacking talent, we just didn’t seem to show it all the time,’’ said Tack- ett.

Brown played on a junior varsity that had only an 8-10 record which he led with 266 points (14.8 average). The player moved up to varsity was 6’1” junior Jeff Cole who aver- aged 9.4 in five games. Brown stated, ‘‘We liked to establish a controlled game. But I'd like a more run and gun game, but we didn’t have that kind of person- nel.’”’ Brown added, ‘‘But when we did play a run and gun style we always gave the other team all they needed.”’ The district jinx which hurt about every unit demolished freshman title hopes.

Her sisters Margie and Lisa play on the freshman and junior varsity teams respectively. About the team as a whole Reese said, ‘‘! thought we had a great year considering we were So inexperienced. We all seemed to work together well.’’ She added, ‘‘We had the talent but no experience. There were only three return- ing from last year’s team. “We reached a peak right before district started when we were going to the tourna- ments.”’ Reese's explanation of the tempo of which the team set its pace was, ‘‘I don’t think the lack of size hurt us much; it just put a little more pressure on our outside shooters, and they did a great job.”’ basketball 83 Cagers The will to win was there M. inus starters Kim Gordon and Amberly Leverett, the freshman girls’ basketball team posed a definite threat to opponents even with only a 3-5 district mark.

We were as much of a team as ever, even missing some players.” Although claiming a remorse- ful record is not fulfilling, the jun- ior varsity had a pivotal year with a 1-7 reversal from a barely suc- cessful 6-6 start.

The varsity baseball unit that earned a 10-11 record quickly learned that this may be the most important aspect of the game. Two-time All-District center- fielder Dwayne Neagle said, “We made far too many errors this year and that is the only thing that really hurt us.’’ Agree- ing with Neagle was catcher Tommy Rotenberry when he stated, ‘‘The pitching was suffi- cient, and the hitting was far above last year, but errors were what caused us from having a more successful year.’’ Moving from a chance to gain such hon- ors as Neagle in leftfield, Roten- berry, a .297 hitter, said, ‘It was helpful that | moved to catcher because John Hausner injured his knee and there was no one else to catch, but there was somebody else who could play outfield.” Coming off errorless play and leading to a 6-2 pre-district record and winning the consola- tion trophy in the Mansfield tour- nament, the varsity seemed to be Varsity baseball team members are, front row: Bobby Booker, Carl Brown, Todd King, Juan Contreas, Terry Castro, Doug Myers, Jeff ‘Osmun, Victor Guay- ardo.

District action saw its hardships for the squad as a comedy of errors cancelled any chances the team had. A 2-1 lead over Cleburne in the fifth with Lawrence Castillo pitching went for naught as 3 errors and a walk found them trailing 5-2 by the end of the inning. Crowley came back with two in the seventh but Roten- berry was left stranded at sec- ond to give the Yellow Jackets a 5-4 win. Ten bases on balls con- tributed heavily to a Bulldog defeat as Everman walked its way past Crowley 10-4. Castillo, a transfer from Fort Worth Eastern Hills, revenged the Cleburne loss by defeating another Yellow Jacket team, Ste- phenville, 4-0 while giving up only 2 singles. Umpires entered into the pic- ture in the next outing as several bad calls almost cost Crowley a come-from-behind 6-5 victory over Granbury. Cleburne curveballer Mike Kirkem kept the Jackets in the top spot as he beat the Eagles 9- 4. With a no-hitter entering the sixth Castillo could not with- stand the pressure of six errors and five hits as Everman belted Crowley 9-5. Making its longest trip of the season, Crowley, which did not hold Stephenville scoreless for the first time in 24 innings, lost 7-5. Last-place Granbury upset Crowley 3-2 as Castillo took another unfortu- nate dive. While playing Cleburne for the last time, the error crisis took over again as 2 errors and 2 walks cost the Eagles a 4-2 lead forcing extra innings. Reliever Bobby Booker took the loss while being shackled for 3 runs and a 7-4 loss. Booker and Nea- gle then combined for a one-run, seven-hit 8-1 stabbing of Ever- man. Once again, Stephenville righthander Opie Young hurt Crowley 4-3 for his second straight win. The shortest game of the year ended the season as a 14-1 crushing of Granbury made the season a little more respectable as the team laced out 15 hits.

There are approximately 10 golf- ers that have a strong desire to improve and have been working hard. If that desire continues we will do well next year.”’ About tournament competition Mr. Mitchell stated, ‘“There were row: Greg Gray, Steve Norcross, James Norcross, Terry Talley, Chip Steele, Glen Tuggle. no wins, but we did show improvement with each tourna- ment. Generally there were 18 to 20 teams in each tournament and we would come in thirteenth or fourteenth. We were seventh out of 8 teams in our zone meet.” When asked what player showed the most consistency, Mr. Mitchell said, ‘Glen Tuggle fared well in most every tourna- ment and he was more consist- ent than any other golfer.” About the limited amount of practice the team had, he said, “In golf, practice is the most important detail. There cannot be too much.” — Take your shot. Showing good form freshman Terry Talley scored the lowest at the zone meet, ahead of Glen Tuggle, on the team. Servers 1980 Program revitalized | John Baker reached AAA quarter finals as resurgence brought better times A welcomed edition to the tennis program at Crow- ley was Mr. Steve Strickland’s efforts to bring iton an upswing. Mr. Strickland, a shop teacher, was granted a ball machine and the possibility of new courts. But most of the attention was cap- tured by freshman John Baker who advanced to the AAA quar- ter-finals. Mr. Strickland stated, “the team placed fifth out of a 17 team field in the Everman tour- ney. In zone competition, Jona- than Lee lost to the eventual state champion, Steve Riza of Cleburne.’’ He added, ‘‘But John Baker also lost to Riza, except he got second place. Baker also placed second to Riza in district and regional com- petition.”’ The chance of a rematch was not granted as Tyler’s Terry Wil- kins defeated Baker 6-4, 6-7, 6- 3 in the state quarterfinals. ‘‘We should improve greatly over this year since we will be practicing all year instead of just Sharp eye out.

He was accepted by Northwestern Loui- siana State University on a four- year football scholarship. - Football’s Top Lineman was Chris Jennings who, at 6’4” and 220 pounds, has started on the offensive line for the past three varsity seasons as guard and tackle. He started at defensive tackle the past two years. The Fighting Eagle Award went to Barry Featherston. This coveted award went to him because of his enthusiasm on the sidelines and his encourage- ment on the field while on the defensive line. All-State and Best Defensive Player was Gary Reasons. He made All-State with the unusual combination of making All-Dis- trict as linebacker, second. team All-Tarrant County on the defen- sive line, and All-State at tight end. Volleyball honors went to two players, Sonja Moore and Kim Guidry. Both showed excep- tional skill around the net and on the serve. Guidry made All-Dis- trict. The Top Offensive basketball player on boys’ varsity was Gary Reasons. He achieved another All-District season because of his offensive looms of 15.8 points per game and 8.1 rebounds. Basketball’s Top Defensive Player was Dwayne Neagle. Nea- gle was an outstanding hustler which helped him distinguish himself as a superb backcourt- man. Most Improved Player was Doug Tackett. He was an ever- present starter at guard who showed more improvement than in any of his other four seasons. He was Honorable Mention All- District. Girls’ Top Forward in basket- ball was Sonja Moore. Moore’s 21.0 point average should show her credentials well as well as her eight-plus rebounds per game . Top Guard was Kim Guidry. She possessed quick hands and an adeptness for finding an open player. She had exceptional court sense. She planned to attend Texas Christian University with a hope of playing guard. Boys’ track honors went to Gary Dick. He reached state for the third consecutive year in pole vaulting and had the best jump of 14 3 . Girls’ track honors went to Sherri Woerner. Her energy and enthusiasm served her well on the track where she excelled. Woerner gathered three first places coming within 1 10 of a second of breaking graduate Linda West's 200 meter record. Golf’s award went to junior Glen Tuggle. He had problems at the zone meet but previous efforts overcame his dismal out- ing. He was a good golfer with a knack for finding the fairway. Tennis’ Best Player of the boys was John Baker. He finished third at the state meet reaching the quarter-finals. He practiced daily at McClellan where his father owned the pro shop. Julie Thompson took home the other tennis award. The planed tennis all year while faring well in tournament action. Dwayne Neagle took home yet another medal for baseball.

Early in February, a number of students came together in the drama room for their first meet- ing as a play company. The play featured Chuck Ste- phens’as King Charlemagne, and Skipper Morris as his son, Pippin. A talented Ricky Walter was set to take on the part of the Leading Player. Linda Peterson portrayed Berthe, and Marilyn Poynter was Catherine. Other cast members were Shelly Tack- ett as Fastrada, Charlie Hix as Louis and Keith Porter as Theo. The ‘‘players’’ were Aldo Billing- slea, Doug Martin, Marti Bianchi, Melody McDonald, Mike Deason, Roger Douglas, and David God- dard as ‘‘the Head.” On Friday, March 21, five play companies came together in Crowley to compete in the VIL north zone one act play contest. Of the five, Crowley and Ever- man were chosen as winners to advance to the next meet.

The cast and crew of ‘‘Pippin”’ eagerly accepted this challenge and on April 4, after two weeks of hard work, rose above the levels of mediocrity and captured their eighth straight district title. Chuck Stephens was named a member.of the All-Star Cast, Skipper Morris received honora- ble mention, and Ricky Walter and Marilyn Poynter were named Best Actor and Actress.

Several new items appeared in the library. The first was the eagle presented to the school last year. It was taken from its perch above the magazine area and placed inside a special glass cage in glass cage in the middle of the library. Mrs. Diane Muller, Mrs. Sue Martin, and Mr. Larry Westmoreland installed the eagle in its new home. Bringing the total number of volumes to 6000, approximately 450 new books were purchased. Two new easy chairs turned the career section into a cozy area for students to investigate col- lege or career possibilities. Personal help for students in distress came from several sources. An important one was Mrs. Debbie Johns, a library aide who divided her time between the high school and H.F. Stevens Middle School. Another source of help was library aides such as Derek Dowdy, who won the library medal in the spring academic awards assmebly. Mrs. Glass described Derek’s special attrib- utes, ‘‘He not only did the usual chores assigned to him ona daily basis, but has done extra things. He has. mastered the video tape equipment making it possible for him to tape many school activities.” Students and_ teachers, whether preparing lesson plans or doing research papers, found many resources in an efficiently- run library. 118 library Last minute homework.

Grammar, par- agraph writing, essays, and sen- tences, not to mention writing a research paper, all demanded a good deal of self discipline on the part of each English student. There were, however, lighter moments.

Freshmen read the play The Miracle Worker and then learned the sign language employed by the deaf. American literature students read Thoreau and then com- pleted a project for the unit. Some did posters, others wood Carvings, as well as notebooks. The mini-course program employed in the department for some years was in its final year.

The fact that the Talon was named Best in Division was not discovered until March when staff members attended the ILPC convention in Austin. The staff consisted of twenty- three members, the largest staff ever. Of the twenty-three only five returned from the previous year’s staff, so most were rookies who didn't yet know what a pica was or that cropping had nothing to do with farming. The five returning members contributed experience while the new mem- bers gave new ideas. The price of the yearbook was raised due to the use of color for the first time in four years. The rapid rise in the cost of silver upped production costs which also necessitated a _ price increase. journalism 125 Gettin to basics In a year of upheaval social studies shed light ( onsidering world situation today the relevance of social studies becomes more apparent.

Teachers provided activities to stimulate student interest in these affairs. The students have cooked foreign foods, have done reports, and studied maps to learn more about other countries and their customs. A Presidential opinion poll was conducted by Ms. Rarbara Crowley’s government classes. Over 400 students and faculty members voted.

With the new shop teacher, Mr. Steve Strickland, came new ideas, fresh outlooks, and plenty of new projects. Shop students had a car race — not a big car race, but a car race for little wooden cars. For two months students carved, filed, and sanded wooden blocks into aerodynamic race cars. A Car race and car show culmi- nated the project. The cars were judged on the quality of work- manship and style. Competition was stiff in both events, but Danny Smith won the car races, There were also new projects like an electric guitar Billy Tyson made by hand. Robby Morris created a model sailboat. But by far the most original idea was Chris Hines’ wooden chess set. All the pieces were turned on the lathe to specifica- tion. The board was made of mohagony and maple squares with a mohagony border. The chessmen were also made of mohagony and maple. Things were also different in the drafting room.

Members baked cookies for Valentine’s Day getting them- selves into possibly the worst mess ever. As orders for cookies poured in, members made up batches of sugar cookie dough 146 FHA which would yield only seven or eight cookies. Each cookie then had to be iced and packaged before being taken to the lucky girl or boy. Kelly Strickland was elected Area V’s treasurer for the coming school year.

Athletes have their special moments; this day belongs to those who have worked hard all year long in the classroom,”’ explained Mrs. Barbara Gregory, National Honor Society spon- sor. ao ie academic awards 161 Year’s special flavor came from special people Mes students took for granted that they had to finish high school. However, each student achieved differ- ently. Some breezed through daily classes and others worked and continued to work, perhaps never achieving what they wanted. Whether it was one thing or the other, students took things as they came and perhaps gained new insights along the way.

That special quality was shown in the activities of the students outside school, as well as in a classroom. They could be seen at the Sonic munching on a Son- icburger any night of the week, or at the roller rink trying to learn a new disco step. When spring came students were drawn to places like Six Flags to find sum- mer jobs or just a good time. Senior cheers.

No, they don’t wear sombreros in Chile, but Marisela did at the Spanish Club banquet at Joe T. Gar- cia’s. VIP- CHS boasted some very interesting people H aving Marisela Melgarejo as a part of the student body for one year was a special experience, both for her and for her hosts. As Crowley High School’s first honest-to-goodness exchange student, Marisela successfully made a huge transition by com- ing to the United States from Punta Arenas, Chile, as part of a program sponsored by Youth for Understanding. She immediately fit into school life asking for no special treatment. Learning English was her first obstacle, but Marisela, display- ing the discipline and persever- ance so characteristic of her, quickly learned enough to form strong friendships and attain a high level of academic achieve- ment. A testimony to those char- acteristics came in the form of her being chosen as a member of the National Honor Society in the spring. Mrs. Barbara Gregory, NHS sponsor, said of her, ‘‘She had the curiosity about her fellow man to travel thousands of miles from her own home and culture and the courage to make a new home and friends and adopt another culture. No small feat! ‘She carries successfully a heavily academic schedule. She was selected for membership in the National Honor Society, being evaluated by the same criteria as any other student. She is active in all facets of school activities — and what a delight it is to know her! Her eyes sparkle, and she has a beautiful smile that lights up the whole room. “We are richer because we have had Marisela in our midst. She has given us the chance to reach out to a place far from Crowley High and to know a friend there — and that, after all, is the beginning of brother- hood.”’ vip 193 194 vip Helping hand. Ramona Diffee receives assistance from her art teacher, Mr. Jim Mitchell. Mr eli he packed auditorium broke into loud spontaneous applause during the honors assembly when FTA president Tammy Sladnovik announced that Mr. Jim Mitchell had been elected Teacher of the Year by the student body. A pleasant, easy-going per- son, Mr. Mitchell, in his two years as the high school’s only art teacher made a big difference in many students’ lives. Romona Diffee, senior art stu- dent, said, ‘‘Mr. Mitchell is a ter- rific person, and, most of all, he himself is a work of art.”’ R icky Walters had a special gift which he shared with those around him on many differ- ent occasions. His gift was that of a fine voice, and it was heard in his portrayal of leading player in the one act play ‘‘Pippin,’’ during numerous choir performances, and when- ever and wherever he felt like singing. Honored as Best Actor during the UIL district performance of “Pippin.’’ Ricky said about that experience, ‘‘After winning the Best Actor Award, the dream | had longed for finally came true. In District One Act competition God had granted me my wish.”’ Ricky’s future will be one full of song, and he discussed Crowley High School's contribution to that dream. ‘‘The Crowley com- Mr. Mitchell’s comments revealed a person at peace with himself and his surroundings. ‘I try to take one day at a time, and because | enjoy my work at Crowley it is easier to accomplish my goals for each day. | believe each day is a learning experi- ence for me as well as the stu- dents. “| live in the country, and | enjoy weekend and summer farming.

She was a blend of bouncy energy and: sharp intelligence. Selected a member National Honor Society as a jun- ior, Tammy generally took “‘the road less traveled by’’ enrolling in English lV and trigonometry. Even with a heavier than-usual load, she gradauted fifteenth in her class of 182. At the same time she took jazz dancing les- sons and played softball in addi- tion to being involved in school athletics. ‘‘| have been involved in many activities in which | have repre- sented Crowley High School. These activities have taught me a lot about teamwork and about how to get along with people. I’ve learned to take the losses as well as the wins; I’ve learned some important qualities of lead- ership.” R enaissance men may be few and far between in this cen- tury, but Gary Reasons might be the closest thing. “Crowley High School is spe- cial to. me because it has given me the chance to be the best | could.”’ Whether on the athletic field or in the classroom, Gary consist- ently kept his eye on that distant goal of self-improvement.

The end of the year brought news of her father’s transfer to yet another town and the knowl- edge that she would not return to graduate from Crowley High School. Mrs. Judy Soriano, yearbook advisor, said, ‘Even when Dena knew she wouldn't be back next year, she continued to work as hard as she had all year on the yearbook.

As an off-key pianist she brought the house down with her rendition of Barbra Strei- sand’s ‘‘The Way We Were’”’ dur- ing the Senior Grand Illusion. As a speech student she portrayed Marley’s Ghost in her class’ pro- duction of ‘‘A Christmas Carol.” One friend described Mel by saying she brought sunshine wherever she went. Another, Jenny Daily, said, ‘‘Mel is non- judgmental. She sees a good side in every situation and accepts you as you are.”’ Speech teacher Mrs. Janet Henderson said, ‘‘Melanie always brightened my days. She has such a sunny disposition. It has been a real pleasure to have her in class. She is dedicated to any project given to her and accepts responsibilities readily. ‘| think her best quality, though, is simply her ability to make people feel good with a ready smile or a pleasant word. I've appreciated that a lot this year.”’ ‘‘My experience here has made it possible for me to gain enough self-confidence to try new and exciting things,’’ said Mel. She’s a swinger. A lively wit and the abil- ve _ ity.to be a good friend make Melanie Reese a special person. vip 197 Barbara Adams Rich Adderly Debbie Allen Debbie Ailinder Diane Alvarez Charissa Anderson Rebel Anderson Tommy Angton Cynthia Atkinson Leo Arrizola Karen Bailey LaFonda Bailey Tirol Bailey Belinda Baker Ray Baker Steve Barker Sue Ballew Ray Banez Ray Barrow Caron Basye Dena Bartnicki Annette Baxter Laurie Beck Marla Benson Missie Bentley Johnny Biggers Shermitta Billingslea Cathy Bowser Sherry Bradford Wanda Brannon William Braudaway Michelle Bray Bobby Brown Randy Broyles Jeff Bullock Clifton Burch . 198 juniors Leesa Burden Tommy Carroll Lawrence Castillo Pam Chandler Kelly Chapman Chuck Chenault Billy Clouser Daniel Coker Jeff Cole George Collins Juan Contreras Angela Conzoneri Steve Cook Synthia Cook Thomas Cooper Beth Corbell Olga Coronado Larry Crowley Vince Davis Bryce DePriest Leslie Dixon Derek Dowdy Nancy Doyle Robin Duplessey Melissa Dwyer Carol Elkins LeAnn Ellis Suzy Escalante Mike Ethetton Kim Eubanks DeeDee Falk Colleen Fette Felix Florez Rachel Florez Kelvin Foutts Glen Franks juniors 199 Steve Fritts Lori Garner Lorraine Garrett Janice Gergely Ricky Gillem Teresa Glosup Michael Graff Marshall Green Shelly Green Kerry Greenwood Vince Grinnell Jill Haley Tina Hall Sherri Hallford Gia Harden Debbie Harken Jerry Hart Missy Harvey Joel Hawkins Randy Hayes Mark Helsey Eric Hensley Linda Hernandez lrene Herrera John Herweg Chris Hines Micki Hudson Victor Hughes Patty Jarrett Mark Johnson Becky Johnson Darla Jumper Trupti Kapadia: Marcus Keller Terry Kelley Terry Kivela TerriKruger 200 juniors Jeff Lambert Teresa Laseter Terry Laseter Debbie Lassiter Shiela Lauterbach Todd Lindsey Cheryl Littke Johnny Loftin Susan Lovell Sandy Luther Beverly Mabra Cynthia Magnuson Victor Mann Doug Martin Debbie Matthews Lori Mauldin Cindy McClendon Mike McClendon Cheryl McCord Melody McDonald James McMiken Marisela Melgarejo Terrie Miller David Mills Danny Mims Paul Minshew Geri Mitchell Delmar Montgomery Doug Moore Rhonda Moore Sonya Moore Cindy Morris Skipper Morris Robby Morris Cindy Murphy Scott Murphy juniors 201 Rodney Murrell Kathryn Myers Don Newman Hal Norman Greg Parker Diane Pervere Shoron Porter Charles Powell Norman Presley Scott Pruitt Don Raines Jeff Ratliff Terri Reed Karen Railey Cherie Register Renee Reitzer Bobette Roark Mike Roberts Jane Rosta Kenneth Rotenberry Tina Rowland Zonya Samberson Wayne Sandridge Beverly Saylors Rob Schreiner Troy Secchio Kelei Sefcik Juli Shirley Tricia Short Brigitta Simon Bart Slack Tammie Sladovnik Gwen Smith Lori Smith: Melanie Smith Sonia Smith 202 juniors ce Bt i Derek Spells Eric Stanford Laura Steele Chuck Stevens Yvonne Stewart Julie Sulak Lisa Sullivan Rochelle Sweet Paul Swindell Jennifer Szabacsan Doug Tackett Kim Thornhill Cheryl Tidwell Gary Tidwell Beth Trenner Alma Trevino Glenn Tuggle Lisa Turner Martha Turner Pam Vaden David VanNoy Karen VanNoy Sandra Velasquez Ricky Walter Lynette Weaver Frank Weiss Hoss Wheeler Valerie Whitley Eddy Williams Susan Williams Joy Wilshire Donald Wilson Jeff Wilson Kim Wines Robbie Woods Scott Yerigan juniors 203 Seniors Committed to work Offices not all glory B eing a class officer required varying degrees of work and commitment. Senior and junior officers pre- sided over more class meetings. Class activities were more numerous and more demanding since senior and junior activities involved magazine sales, the prom, the senior follies, and end- of-the-year senior activities, including the senior trip. Freshman and sophomore offi- cers, on the other hand, were required to do little more than supervise the decorating of halls on homecoming and preside over class meetings. 204 class officers Senior officers were Kim Guidry (presi- dent), Dwayne Neagle (secretary), Sherri Woerner (vice president), and Danny Tid- | well (treasurer). i Sophomore officers were Mike McConathy (vice president), Rico Cha- zaretta (treasurer), John Hausner (presi- dent), and Lisa Reese (secretary). Juniors Junior officers were Glen Tuggle (secretary), Michelle Bray (vice president), Valerie Whitley (treasurer), Sonja Moore (president). Freshman officers were Sharon Boone (sec- retary), James Link (treasurer), Lynette Landes (vice president), Alyson Hughes (president). Class officers 205 NH5 members chosen on basis of four qualities Mek good grades was not enough. Those stu- dents selected for membership in the National Honor Society, per- haps the most selective high school group, had to display out- standing contributions in three other areas. They were leader- ship, character, and service. The society boasted forty-five members with only sixteen hold- overs from the previous year. Fit- ting the twenty-nine inductees onto the stage for the initiation ceremony during the honors assembly was a real problem. But fit they did, and once the ceremony was over, old mem- bers and new filed into the home economics area for punch and cookies with the parents, friends, and teachers who were eager to congratulate them. 206 national honor society Top-notch.

There are all kinds of scales, Some are one to ten, Others are first, second or third, Some are place, show or win.
