Two hundred twelve members of the band presented a Christ- mas Concert at Gaines Y. Mason Auditorium Dec. 13, and junior high as well as high school bands performed. In appreciation for the band's support of the football team, invi- tations were extended to the band for the Football Banquet. Home games during district basketball play enabled volunteers to offer their talents to boost spectators' spirit. Another appear- ance for the band was at the Summit during the Houston Rockets versus the Portland Blazers game. Before and after school, band members practiced in their instrumental sections to prepare for Solo and Ensemble Contest. Out of approximately 60 mem- bers, 13 first divisions were awarded for solos and 26 first divisions were captured for ensembles. Nine people suc- ceeded in achieving first division in both solo and ensemble con- tests. A.

'I TWIRLERS 1 PAGE 23 Yell squad combats apath , promotes 10 spirit rallies we To combat student apathy, the six varsity football cheerleaders demonstrated their poise, personality and leadership ability during the season's 10 pep rallies. For a week in June, they joined pep leaders from 30 other schools at the cheerleading held at Ste- phen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. A spirit stick, three excellent, two supe- rior and one superstar ribbons were the rewards they obtained in competition with other squads. Painting signs, creating skits for the pep rallies, organizing the sell of ribbons and coordinating cheers, the sextet embarked on the upcoming season during the last three weeks of August. Varsity and sophomore cheerleaders are chosen by a panel of four iudges during the spring of the preceding year. Freshman spirit boosters are selected early in summer vacation. Twenty-two cheerleaders are honored by selection: 14 varsity, four sophomore and four freshmen. Producing and presenting weekly pep rallies together, the freshman and sophomore cheerleaders urged the underclassmen to support their respective teams. Sophomore girls also moonlighted by donating their spirit and cheers to the junior varsity at their Thursday night bouts. A. Summer ended three weeks early for the cheerleaders, working from 8:30 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon. Painting signs, organizing the sell of ribbons and coordinating skits and cheers, these girls prepared themselves for a busy season.

Planned to aid students in their jobs, sub- jects also included interview and application techniques, personal grooming, income tax, budget and finance, social security, safety, atti- tude and personality development and employee-employer relations. Composed of 1 1 juniors and 22 seniors who enrolled at the end of their sophomore or junior years, membership is divided between two class periods. CVAE I, held second period, acquaints participants with general aspects of the business world, while CVAE ll, held third period, encourages them to graduate into positions which will teach them a specific trade or career. Being a work program, all students leave by fourth period for their respective jobs on which two-thirds of their grades are based. Although Mr. Steve Glenn, coordinator, provides leads by contacting surrounding businesses about participation in the program, members must obtain positions on their own. Provided it is legal, moral and safe, every occupational field is open. Participants range from service station attendants, grocery store clerks and lumber store stockers to industry trainees and food service employ- ees. A.

Pro- ceeds, over 5230, were tagged to provide a foundation for the Choral Department to launch the following year. Cakes, cookies and other pastry delights created by members were sold at GerIand's and Weingarten's in Deer Park to also raise money for next year's musical. Following a vote, members bestowed the titles of Choir Beau and Belle to seniors Barry Lee and Monica Babin during the choral banquet held at Bud Hills Res- taurant. Beau and Belle were felt to be the most hand- some and the most beautiful. Seniors Diana Baker and Mike Delaney were voted by their peers as Most Valu- able Choir Members.

Students and parents alike were entertained with such songs as I Honestly Love You, Feelings of Love, and a favorite, Sha- drack. A feature that helped it to be chosen as the site of the per- formance, was the choir room's insulation. Members noted that the presence of the private practice rooms were also a designed advan- tage that proved helpful. Traveling to LaPorte High School, the choir participated in a clinic sponsored by the Texas Technical University Choir from Lubbock. Area high school choir members were instructed by the Texas Tech- nical group in style and execution. Entering into the spirit of Christmas, the choir sang carols for the student body as well as the pupils of Deepwater and Deer Park Jun- ior High Schools. Customers of the First Pasadena State Bank were entertained by the Madrigal Choir with traditional Christmas tunes. Composed of vocalists who have attained a high degree of excel- lence in the field of music, the Madrigal Choir also performed at the Deer Park United Methodist Church. For the first time, 15 choir members provided the entertainment for the Deer Park Rotary Club with pop contemporary tunes. Preced- ing their appearance, the choir partook of the steak dinner which was served at the Houston Yacht Club in Kemah. Six of the 162 member choir placed in the All-Region Choir with four qualifying for area competition. Region auditions were held at South Houston High School where soprano senior Clara Ferguson, altos junior Pamela O'Brien and sophomore Melissa Moody were designated to the choir.

Musical performance pays for entr fees Over 52,500 was made by the three night performance of the musical My Fair Lady. This money was used to pay the entry fees of the choir for contests attended throughout the year. An excess of three weeks of hammering, sketching and painting was spent on the four sets used in the production. Mr. Malcom Broyles and Jesse Caffey sketched the Covent Garden set with Mrs. Glenda Coley and Art ll students who accepted the task of painting the set. Construction on the Ascot and Ballroom sets were done by Mr. Frank Lyons ll and his daughter, junior Jeannine Lyons, an art student. Mr. Don Edwards and Mr. Noe Boghs did the building of the Higgins' study set, complete with staircase. Numerous props, such as paper flovifers, antique victrola and Vic- torian desk, were used. Most of the props were furnished by choir members, however, some props were the antique furniture used in the Higgins' set and other props were borrowed from members of the community. Costume rental fees for the 65 member Cast totaled 52,-400. Ball gowns, peasant dresses, and tuxedos represent a sample of the cos- tumes worn by the cast. Some characters had as many as five differ- ent costume changes. Hairpieces required were brought by each character as was necessary.

This competitive spirit also extended to the Fall Festival, where the three clubs vied for top honors in the booth decoration contest. Seizing the first place ribbon, the Spanish Club was fol- lowed by the French Club who captured second place. Although the clubs operated individual booths, an underlying sense of cooperation existed between the for- eign language clubs. To support each other, members of the various clubs spent much of their time and money sampling their rival's delicacies. Long hours of preparing and serving food and dedication to their club, yielded a harvest, in the case ofthe German Club, of funds to help finance a trip to the Waco Convention, and for the Span- ish Club, an opportunity to support a needy child in a Spanish-speaking country. lnitiations and picnics were also planned by the clubs. Armed with water balloons, shaving cream and apples for bobbing, former initiates bombarded prospective French Club members. German Club members forced anxious newcomers to succumb to the ordeals required to become a member. Following their initiation at the Span- ish picnic, new members retaliated against the old mem- bers by dousing them with buckets of water. Spanish Club members also enjoyed the refreshments, dancing and tournaments found at the After Halloween-Before Thanksgiving Party! A.

Served by the cafeteria staff, a meal consisting of steak, baked potato, a vegetable and iced tea, is served before each away game. Returning to the school at a time specified by the coaches, the squad views a film of the opposing teams' previous game. Free time to relax is given for the team to prepare themselves mentally for their upcoming contest. Dividing up the team into positions, each coach takes his group and talks over game plans. Players needing to be taped report to trainer Bob Doc Smith. Taping is done mainly to prevent injury, how- ever it is also used to reinforce minor fractures and bruises. Just before time to go on the field an individual gives the team a last talk. This is done to give a pre-game setting and help to fire up the group for the game. A. Standing on the sidelines, senior linebacker John Dyer and junior cheer- leader Stacy Zucha watch the Deer offense. B. Preparing for the Pasadena game, senior Keith Fowler packs his game bag. C. Coach Billy Thames gives the offensive line a pep talk before the start of the game against Sam Rayburn. D. Eating the pre-game meal prepared by south campus cafeteria staff, Marcus Turner and Donny Sapaugh make ready for the contest with Clear Creek. E. Sat- urday morning following the Friday night game, seniors Duane Mayberry, Flandy Davidson and junior Mark Kirchner watch a film of the Dobie game. Viewing these films, players are able to detect mistakes and plan corrective measures. F. Head trainer Bob Doc Smith tapes all players ankles which may be susceptible to injuries before each game. Senior Manuel Araujo gets taped. G. Senior David Sipe and junior teammate Allen Westmoreland close the gap to stop a Dobie Longhorn. Other Deer defenders move in to assist. Successful programs feature organization Any successful athletic program must have organization and a planned workout. Football practice for the varsity squad consists of several different blocks of time. There is a team meeting for about five minutes for the purpose of discussing motivation, the week's opponents and the individual play- ers. Players are taped and at 3:15 are on the field for stretching exercises, fumble drills and calisthenics. Breaking up into groups for specialty drills such as kickoffs and punt returns, the specialty squads practice these plays for about five minutes. Defensive and offensive teams practice blocking drills with the machines, run plays against the junior varsity, and go over block- ing assignments. Using the weight machine, each player completes a full revolution of weightlifting drills per week. Practice ends with wind sprints and another team meeting. Every player probably runs two miles on a routine days workout. A. Left halfback senior Timmy Smith clutches a pass in the endzone in the game against Texas City. ln spite of his Stingaree counterpart's efforts, Smith held onto the pass for one of two touchdowns scored. B. Taking a breather in the game against Pasadena, trainer Doc Smith and an assist- ant Dan Allison give the boys some refreshments. Timeouts and trainers are an integral part of any football team. C. Smith picks up yardage through a hole created by fullback Billy Carwile. Senior fullback Carwile also scored the initial touchdown. D. Right halfback Mike McLennan, a senior, and left tackle Bill Ervin listen as Coach Wesley Frosch outlines offensive strategy in the game against Dulles. E. Offensive lineman David Marrow is one of eight play- ers involved in a workout with the blocking sled. Although the sled is a valua- ble tool in building up strength involved in blocking, it has its disadvantages. Because it is not versatile and cannot move by itself, the player can get no practice in 'reading' an opponent. F. Doc Smith is the head trainer for the Athletic Department. He is in charge of the training which handles taping ankles, first aid and generally meeting the need of the team. G. Managers Bobby Dover and David Cathey, both seniors, adjust the straps on senior Stuart Douglass' shoulder pads. If the pads do not fit snugly, they may choke or pinch the player.

Those young men who devote their time to the needs of every coach and player, who are referred to as sons of the coaches, are the trainers and managers. Their task requires much time and experience and in the words of Coach Wesley Frosch, Good ones are very hard to find! He also added Our managers and trainers are excellent and perform their duties to the best of their ability. Trainers and managers are under the supervision of Doc Smith, head trainer, and Coach Frosch, respectively. With three years of experience are David Cathey and Bobby Dover and two years for Wendell Rhodes and Ricky Hebert. Our boys knew what they were doing so well that we rarely had to supervise them, Coach Frosch said. With jobs ranging from taping players' ankles and fingers to maintaining the whirlpool for injured players, a trainer is seldom resting. A manager's job is also full time, consisting of repairing equipment, doing laundry, keeping up with all equipment such as kicking tees, towels and a supply of extra footballs. A.

Struggling to keep balance, Billy Carwile wards off Dulles defenders in a tough match which ended in a tie, 6-6. Carwile averaged 2.5 yards per carry in the game. F. From the press box, Coach Dennis Chaloupka can see every aspect of the game. By means of a pressbox-to-field communica- tion system, he can relay everything he sees to the coaches on the field. G. Attempting to break a Bulldog tackle, Carwile lunges forward as LaPorte's Lee Graves and Ralph Jones try to bring him down. H.

However, these misfor- tunes could not dampen the spirits of the team nor their unity as they made a des- perate struggle for the district crown. Coached by Art Pettit and Dennis Chal- oupka, the JV's got it together in the last few games to bring their district standing to a fourth place finish. With the hard hitting of the offensive units and the anticipation on the defensive side, the Deer were able to put together a victory over the Clear Creek Wildcats in the regular season along with an undefeated pre-season. With the eagerness and ambition that the team displayed this year, Coach Chaloupka said, they should have a great deal of success as varsity players in the future. A.

Scoring 204 points while holding their opponents to a mere 80, the sophomore gridders relied heavily on offensive play. With 2,035 yards rush- ing, the sophomores proved themselves formidable by outscoring their opponents by 124 points. One hundred thirty-three tackles on the part of Kent Fowler also helped the team on the field and in the defensive and morale departments. A.

PAGE 169 , Coaches se ect seven to II-District team Success in any program demands dedication from participation as well as guidance from leaders. Such teamwork was demonstrated on all levels of the cage program with the ultimate rewards of varsity players being named by district coaches as top players. Seven players proved themselves outstanding athletes as well as individu- als. Those who made a place for themselves on the first team were Jon Hughes and Byron Tully. Hughes led the team in scoring and in rebounding with 196 points and 148 grabs. Tully was the second Deer Park player selected on the First Team hitting 65 of 170 attempts from the field for 146 points and nabbing 142 rebounds. Equally as fortunate on the Second Team, the Deer had three members selected. Robert Riley earned a slot with 178 points. David Simmons was third in the point section with 151 points. He scored in double figures in 10 of the 12 games. Dean Endres rounded out the Second Team with 67 total points for the season. Nicky Snell and Byron Moake played well enough to earn an honorable mention rating from district coaches. Snell and Moake, both juniors, finished the district competition with 91 and 67 points, respectively. The selection of the All'District Team wound up a 30-4 season. A. Junior Byron Moake shoots from the outside in the first round match up against LaPorte. Moake's height and ability were valuable assets against the varied types of defense. B.

J V cagers dominate district opponents Following the example of last year's team, the junior varsity squad, headed by Coach David Nutt, combined an undefeated first half of district play to a six and one record for the second half to come out on top ofthe district competition. With a field goal percentage of 95 and excellent rebounding, the cagers were able to dominate most of their opponents. Sinking 41 of 78 shots attempted, Robert Shaw led the first round with a 53 percent overage as Greg Crawford followed closely with 49 percent of his shots sunk. Second round lead- ers were Crawford again, but this time to tie with Billy Shock as both boys made 61 percent of their shots. Rebounding was also exceptional as Crawford, Hays and Shaw rebounded the ball 63, 62, and 60 times, respectively. Many of the players on the team have two or more competitive years left in high school and according to Coach Nutt, are anxious to repeat their win- ning records next year. A. Sophomore Mike Griffey fires a jump shot during the South Hous- ton game. B. A district championship was brought to Deer Park as the junior varsity squad finished competition with a 13-1 record.

Placing fifth in the season's standings, the Girls Water Polo Team ended with a record of one win and five losses. With a come from behind effort, the squad put together a win over Galena Park, 18-12. With all team members returning for next year, experience will not be lacking. Several players proved themselves outstanding throughout the season, Coach Hanzelka said. Leading the team of the girls side were junior Peggy Payne and sophomore Pat Klehn. Leading players for the boys were juniors David Balusek, Ricky Turner, Timmy McGhee, Flicky Harris, Ross Cowart, John Baggett and sophomore Phillip Knotts. A. Before the start of a game a referee checks the length of the team's fingernails. Since there is much physical contact in water polo, the length of the nails is a factor.

Using correct defensive position, junior Timmy McGhee also shot occasionally and scored 10 points for the season. G. Taking advantage of a break in play, Coach Hanzelka talks over strategy to be used against Galena Park.

L I f Injuries, illness hamper freshmanround robin Coach Judy EIIisor's freshman squad also competed in the district round robin. Although they did not fare as well in their dual meets as did their var- sity counterparts, part of the blame can be placed in the fact that they were forced to forfeit several matches due to sickness or iniury. With no backups to replace the absentees, the losses hurt the squad in their final district standings. Competing in singles for the boys were Danny Stranksy at number one sin- gles and David Ouaak at number two. In competition the duo of Shannon Betty and Paul Massey remained the top team for the freshmen all spring. Terry League and Greg Spitzenberger held down the second spot. Shelly Parker and Lisa Busby were the number one girls team in the spring. Cheryl Hollis played one singles, while Karen Romano and Bonny Hooks held down number two doubles. Melinda Moses competed at number two singles. A. Coach Judy Ellisor talks with Karen Romano, a member of the freshman squad. Right after a match is often the best time to discuss the match. B.

Workouts ready Deer diamondmen Starting practice with stretching exercises, the varsity baseball team loosen up for workout. Following the stretching exercises of push-ups and side straddle hops, the group pair off and warm up while pitching to each other. After the warm up, baseballers split up for individual defensive drills. These drills consist of game type situa- tions for all team positions. Defensive drills are followed by offensive drills such as bunting, base stealing and base running. Following the individual offensive drills, the team regroup for defensive team drills. As a group, they work on defense of the bunt, squeeze plays, cutoffs and steals. The offensive station drill is the last group of drills per- formed by the varsity. These drills help to improve the batting of every individual on the team. Before the end of practice, the team goes through a conditioning phase of the workout, including sprints and distance running. Coach Art Pettit and his assistant Dennis Chaloupka stress agility drills. Workouts such as these, Coach Pettit said, aid in the prevention of injuries. Wins are great, but the safety of our players is our utmost concern. ,l gf ' , in '11 'g ,jf if 'K' lvgfrjf 'Q ,JJ',j'i- Z V'f'5'L 3 Qi13122,l,jjA21if 2fawZ4.i' ffif' fi 'ff 4f5gs S TLP-57 'Y' 'r5'P W Lf' V.

F 1- Spring affords previews to upcoming grid season To athletes involved in different sports, off-season training means a variety of things. To the basketball player, it means off season-basketball training. To the baseball player, it means the season itself, to the tennis player, it means a heavy tournament schedule. But to the football player, it means long hours of conditioning, running and calisthenics which culminate in the traditional spring game. Spring training and the spring game serve a dual purpose. First, it affords the coaches a preview of what they can expect from next year's team. They can decide who they can depend on for what. They can introduce new plays, new strategies and formations. For the aspiring player, it offers an opportunity to prove himself before the coaches and his teammates. The game itself offers a chance for the coaches to view how the entire machinery works and a final proving ground for the players. A valuable aid to both players and coaches, the spring game serves its purpose. The defensive play was good, Coach Gary Berry, head football coach, said. The players are going to be in good shape and the situation looks very encour- aging for next year. A. Practicing punt returns merits a block of practice time in each workout. In this drill, the squad makes bone crushing contact. B. Punt specialist Ronnie Thomas practices during spring training. The importance of a punt to the defense can be compared to scoring by the offense. C. Sophomore Joel Wilson, a prospective quarterback, breaks and looks for an open target. Wilson is one of several players vying for positions on the team. D. Guard Ed Simpson displays the blocking form needed to be a proficient blocker. This is another agility drill performed by the squad. E. Another exercise to loosen stiff muscles is picking grass. In this exercise, so named because of its resemblance to pick- ing grass, hamstring muscles absorb the full weight of the torso. F. Coach Frank Orsak directs agility drills. Depending on which side of the football he slaps, the players must move in that direction. G. Sophomore Kenneth Killen lends a helping hand to sidelined teammate Steve Wood in the annual spring game. H. The bicycle kick is an exercise designed to stretch and loosen lower back muscles. Done properly, it aids players in get- ting up after a fall. I. Sophomore Joel Wilson makes ready to receive the snap from cen- ter Bill Ervin, a junior. The snap must work like machinery to lessen the possibility ofa turnover. l 113' ' SPRING GAME I PAGE 229 Classes Classes Classes C1 es . . .Classes. . .

Seniors were either referring to the election the senior class held on Nov. 1 or the national election held the next day. If they wished to vote in the school election, seniors had to register in their local precinct, which was any of the three government rooms, by Oct. 29. When stu- dents registered, they filled out a registration form and signed a registration list. To vote, they had to return to their precinct, present the same form and again sign the registration list to ensure the student does not vote twice. Of the 276 seniors who registered, 233 voted. Seven of these ballots were disqualified because of voting for more than one person.

Elected one month after school began, these officers had special responsibilties throughout the year. For instance, they chose the location, band and the food for the prom. They organized several elections which included DAR Good Citizen and the senior song, sponsored activities such as Senior Kid Day and the Senior Play, and one of the class lead- ers, usually the president, speaks at the graduation ceremony. Another duty was to decide when to order graduation announcements and publicize this date to the seniors. Heading the senior class were Ray Freeman, president: Larry Quisenberry, vice president: Barbara Wilson, secretary, Gina Taylor, treasurer, and Gina Clark, reporter. A.

Although seniors might have expected to do first grade level work such as drawing on the chalkboard, practicing the technique of making and hitting teachers with paper airplanes, playing basketball with the trash can and wads of paper, they were, in most cases, disappointed. Classwork and tests continued right on schedule. As can be expected, rules were made specifically for this occasion. Bent, but not broken, was the dress code, but seniors still could not attend school with bare feet, shoulders or midriffs showing. There were quite a few moving violations and the office's collection of skateboards, tricycles, and baby buggies grew as the day wore on. Any implement which squirted water was promptly confiscated. These ranged from regular dime-store water pistols to machine guns two feet in length. For the first time, contests were scheduled and prizes were awarded. Seniors Ann Riggle and Mark Bingham were presented trophies for being the best dressed girl and boy. Also receiving a trophy was Brenda Cowling for having the best decorated tricycle. Winner of the tricycle race, which took place in the front of the south cam- pus, Ricky Weaver was presented with a lollipop for his effort. Lollipops also went to Cindy Caudle and Leslie Doebbler for their ability to toss an egg without breaking it, and to Ronnie Liggett and Manuel Araujo for winning the two-legged race. Tug-of-war contests were also held with girls pitted against boys. With a frisbee and a football substituting for a baton, relay races were included in the contest events. A.

According to Debra Crabtree, Most of these seniors are graduating early for the same reason I am - to earn money for col- lege. Approximately one-third of these seniors, realizing in advance that they wished to graduate early, attended summer school after their jun- ior year and the majority of them took the only required senior course - American Government. In order to graduate early, 66 credits uwere required and seniors had to apply at least nine weeks in advance. Appli- cation forms were checked by Mr. David Watkins, principal, and in 43 cases, approved. Seniors who graduated after the first quarter were Kathleen McElroy, Starlia Muller, David L. Simmons, Larry Stewart, Jane Stuckey, Nancy Smith, Timothy Ward and Phylis Young. Thirty-five seniors graduated following the second quarter. They are: Jacob Bentley, Daniel Bour- geois, Tim Boyington, Dona Barnard, Tom Chittenden, Debra Crabtree, Faith Ellis, Cheryl Evans, Shelia Faircloth, James Gross, Terri Heinze, Mark Herferth, Gwen Hogan, Ramona Hughes, Sandra Huston, Debra Vickery Kyle, Susan Mercilliott, Susan Moore, Darla Moody, Marilyn Murrell, Steven McElwee, Sylvia McNatt, Joe Reno, Tammy Sewell, Gay Smith, Sharla Stepp, Patricia Stewart, Nellie Stewart, Robbie Thomp- son, Cheryl Turnipseed, Randy Voltz, Edbera Wilson, Karen Winfrey and Jerry Zlebis. Although these seniors were no longer officially students, they were permitted to participate in school functions such as the prom and grad- uation. A.

SENIORS I PAGE 241 Equipment assists reading accuracy Studying does not have to be such a chore if a person organ- izes well and knows how to study. This is the basis for Miss Jean Mizell's reading improvement course. Offered all three quarters, the class emphasizes speed as well as comprehension, vocabu- lary, study skills and memory work devices. Commercial speed reading schools are similar to this course, but are expensive, Miss Mizell said. They are based on the premise that increasing speed also increases comprehension because it forces concentration. Although the classroom con- tains a lot of equipment, depending on it is not emphasized because speed is lost once the machines are removed. After completing the course, the majority of students can read at least 660 words per minute, but Miss Mizell's goal for each stu- dent is to read 780 words per minute. Techniques learned in this course must be practiced if the student expects to increase or maintain his speed, she added. A.

Production crews build scenery for senior pla Rehearsals for the senior play, Li'l Abner were held approximately nine times weekly beginning Dec. 13, although not every member of the cast was required to attend every rehearsal. Painting and building crews also began their work at this time. Before the play was completed, these two crews alone put in over 48 hours in preparation for the four performances. Seniors on these crews brought their own equipment such as saws and ham- mers. Approximately SZOO was spent for the supplies that were not provided by the cast. The only other expense the production concurred was the S450 royalty paid for the legal right to put on Li'l Abner. There were nine crews for the production and they consisted of paint, building, lighting, props, backstage, house and costume crews. Directed by Mr. Larry Arn- hold, the paint and building crews consisted of 10 students each, while there were three members in the lighting crew. Dogpatchers made up the house crew andthe backstage crew was four regulars plus any member of the cast who was not at the time performing. Consisting of one member, the props crew was supervised by Mrs. Norma McDonald, junior counselor, while senior counselor John Williamson sponsored the 15 member publicity crew. Organized by Mrs. Charlene Poole, drama instructor, the costume crew designed and made attire copied from pic- tures ofthe Broadway production. This crew consisted of volunteers, the cast and their parents. A. Using his talents, building crew member Manuel Araujo, senior, helps build the Yokum cabin. B.

Chosen by Mr. Larry Arnhold, drama instructor, the comedy was performed on Feb. 10-12 and also on Saturday afternoon. Leads were shared by Jon Nettles and Russell Holmes as Li'l Abner and Sheree Kemp and Susie Hovendick portraying Daisy Mae. At the Sadie Hawkins race, Daisy Mae desper- ately attempts to catch Li'l Abner so she can marry him. Dai- sy's effort at this is muffled when saving Dogpatch, USA from becoming a test site becomes the town's top priority. At the end of the Saturday night performance, plaques were presented to choreographer Mrs. Joy Sollock, English teacher, Mr. Rene Escobar, music director, Mr. Larry Arn- hold, director, and assistant to the choreographer, Margaret Johnson Shannon, 1975 graduate of Deer Park.

SENIORS I PAGE 249 Seniors stage musical comedy Despite all the incidents, being in 'Li'I Abner,' the Senior Play was a memorable experi- ence. Stricken in mid-production with a flu epi- demic, approximately five percent of the cast was affected. Some very minor characters were omit- ted and a few substitutions were made although numerous seniors performed, flu or no flu. Several other notable catastrophes occurred during the performances. On Thursday night while performing a dancing routine, Susie Hoven- dick's contact lens popped out just as Russell Holmes was supposed to catch her. ln the deci- sion of which to catch, he hastily chose the con- tact and made a grab for Susie's leg. During the Sadie Hawkin's race on Saturday afternoon, Li'I Abner, played by Russell Holmes, tripped, hit his head, and passed out. Needless to say, he stop- ped the race. Live animals were used during the perform- ances to give a more realistic Dogpatch atmos- phere. One problem that arose with the geese is that they honked during speeches. Students holding them ended up covering their mouths with their hands. During the play rehearsals and performances, the cast grew so attached to the goat they had rented that they could not bear to let him be killed. So, the cast chipped in, bought him and gave him to a children's zoo. A. Attempting to prove himself a fit husband for Daisy Mae, Earthquake McGoon, senior Don McCoy, shows Mammy Yokum, senior Gina Taylor his strength. B.

PAGE 253 Classes experience court procedures Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you, Mr. Edwards? was the oath some govern- ment students took before they testified during the trials held in the first quarter. To familiarize students with courtroom procedures was the pur- pose of including simulation trials in the 12 government classes. Each class was given a different case. Possibilities of types of cases are murder, arson, kidnapping, bank robbery or a combina- tion of these. Besides the usual court procedure of opening state- ments, questioning witnesses, closing statements and determin- ing a verdict, an additional feature was added. Simulations of each crime were video taped as it allegedly occurred. These films were shown to each respective class after a verdict was brought in so the class could determine if the correct decision was reached. ln Mrs. Judy Kellow's government classes, the hearings were tape-recorded for future reference to aid the jury in reaching a verdict. Also, according to Mr. Don Edwards, witnesses added irrelevant details when cross-examined such as the age, occupa- tion, or number of children a witness had. Mock attorneys twisted these facts around in an attempt to confuse the witnesses and influence the jury. Although these trials were a variation of classwork, participa- tion was still included in the quarter grade. A.

Approximately five weeks during the third six-weeks were spent on these papers, but not all of the class time was spent in the library doing research. Only about one and one-half weeks were spent there while the remainder of the time was spent watching slides and audio-visual materials on procedures for writing research papers. During these projects, English teach- ers advised students on correct form and procedures. Topics students chose were unrestricted except that they had to be approved by both their English teacher and Mrs. Car- olyn Crawley, librarian, to insure enough information was avail- able. Possible sources included maps, newspapers, video-tapes, magazines, and pamphlets. On the final draft, sources had to be properly credited through the use of footnotes. All work was turned in with the final copy: bibliography and notecards, a formal outline, footnotes and a rough copy. The research papers were good as a break in the classroom routine, Mrs. Jo Ellen Cullison, English teacher, said, because of the independent study and everyone 'sank or swam' at their own rate. A.

Expenses start as early as the beginning of the junior year when students order senior rings. According to Rhonda Shet- ter, the price of a senior ring is quite a blow to parents' wallets. Girls' rings start at 560 and boys' rings at 575. Towards the end of the junior year or sometime during the senior year, all college bound students take either the SAT or ACT, and some take both. Registration fees for these aptitude tests are 57.25 and 57.50 respectively. Most seniors also take three achievement tests which cost 511. If a senior is an enthusiastic sports fan, over 525 is spent on tickets and stadium parking while Homecoming costs average around 550 for both boys and girls. Although prices are sometimes over 5200, the average price for senior portraits is 560. A group picture of the graduating class takes 56 more from Dad's wallet. By the time tickets, dresses, tuxedos, corsages and going out afterwards is taken into consideration, the total cost for the senior prom for both boys and girls is often well in excess of 5100. Diplomas are the only aspect of the graduation ceremony that is free. Caps and gowns are 57 and announcements and invitations average 535. While these costs are only estimates, it should be understood that the actual expenses of each senior varies. lt is more expensive than anybody can imagine, Steve King said. A.

Tootsie Tues- day was held on April 19 in Mr. Trent's classes, while Mrs. Cullison awarded Cracker Jacks twice - after research papers were completed and towards the end ofthe school year. This is a Tootsie Pop question, Mr. Trent occasionally pro- claims. Students, immediately alert, start their brain function- ing at full speed, and prepare to answer a question on almost any subject. Questions could deal with spelling, know- ing who the author of a book is, or on the Bible. For instance, one question was Quote in Hebrew, from the Bible, Matthew 27:46. By answering this question, senior Mike Delaney earned one of his 15 Tootsie Pops that set a school record. Each step of the pompous candlelit ceremony was explained in detail by Mr. Trent as it occurred. First of all, he lit the candles, which rested atop coffee cans, and put on his Super Trent cape. When students went to accept their award, they received their Tootsie Popfsj with their left hand, while shaking hands with Mr. Trent with their right hand. For the first time, certificates, designed and made by senior Jon Nettles, were presented. Though Mrs. Cullison's awards were not presented during a ceremony, the boxes of Cracker Jacks were received for vari- ous reasons. For instance, students who had Mrs. Cullison for both English Ill and IV, consistently had few grammatical errors, overcame many problems and turned in a good research paper, were honest when they had not studied for a test, or finally settled down in class received an award. A. Mrs. Jo Ellen Cullison, English teacher, presents the Cracker Jack Award to senior Isaac Jhingree for having few grammatical errors. B. Seniors Flandy Bryant and Melinda Bennett examine the certificate designed by senior Jon Nettles. C.

After the band started playing, an unexpected service was provided by the hotel - free-flowing Cokes were served. Although many students were over 18 years of age, the school policy of no liquor was strictly followed. Entertainment following the prom was widely varied. For instance, some students went out to eat afterwards at restaurants, such as Jimmy Walker's. The Houston Oaks Hotel and the Flag- ship Hotel were only two of the locations of pri- vate parties. Seniors also had breakfasts in their homes as morning drew near. Package pictures cost S4 per pose and each package included six prints. A.

One of these two tests is required for entrance into 90 percent of the major col- leges. Registration forms for both tests and 57.25 for the SAT and 57.50 tor the ACT had to be sent in approxi- mately one month before each test date. While the SAT is offered seven times throughout the year at either Sam Rayburn or Pasadena High Schools, the ACT is offered five times yearly at San Jacinto Col- lege. Both taken on Saturdays, the SAT lasts two and one- half hours and the ACT lasts approximately three and one-half hours. ln content, the SAT is very similar to the PSATXNNISOT, taken during the junior year, in that both consist of ques- tions on verbal and mathematical abilities.

I Conventions create political tickets Six political conventions were held in the combined govern- ment classes during the second quarter. Each class period rep- resented a political party. Based on the answers from a questionnaire seniors were placed in three groups: conservatives, moderates, and liberals. While the moderates researched the issues and wrote reports, liberals and conservatives each constructed a platform which expressed their views on the issues. Two of the main issues discussed were foreign policy and civil rights. Each period's party voted on a platform agreeable to all. ln order for a senior to run for president, he had to have a petition signed by five people and be nominated. Nominating speeches included imaginary qualifications for office such as experience as mayor, governor, or senator. The people who signed the candidate's petition were required to vote for him in the first ballot. To determine the amount of votes a student had, they each drew one of the 50 states and were allowed the amount of elec- toral votes that state had. Often during the voting, demonstra- tions were held by enthusiastic supporters of a candidate. As a final exercise, the nominees of each period met in a run- off election. Bradley Crawford and David Sipe emerged the win- ners. A. Assassin Jon Hughes, senior, attempts to rub out presidential nominee Bob Miller, a radical conservative. B. Seniors Kathy Wieser and Becky Powell view senior Wally Fancett's demonstration of sup- port for presidential candidate Rod White. C.

PAGE 275 'Beach fever' hits seniors as graduation approaches Senioritis can start as early as the second day ofthe graduate's final year, but it usually strikes full force mid-March when it is warm and sunny outside and everyone wants to go to the beach. Although it is incurable until graduation, it can be controlled. Since seniors wish to be exempt from exams, they cannot miss more than three days of school during the third quarter. This cuts down on the number of senior skip days and visits to the doctor. Symptoms of the disease are wide and varied. Harrassment to teachers is at a maximum at this time because seniors are having their last fling, so to speak, while sleeping during classes occurs frequently. In anticipation of weekends, seniors dress sloppily and get out of as many responsibilities as possible. ln fact, almost the whole week is spent preparing for the weekend's activities. Some juniors anticipate catching senioritis, while preregistering for their senior year. Many sign up for lighter class loads than they have had in the past years. The eligibility to utilize up to two periods off campus is popular with sen- iors. Especially after the class rank has been posted during third quarter, seniors just don't seem to work as diligently as they have in the past. One attitude that is adopted by some members ofthe senior class is: who cares. A. Making sure he is comfortable while taking one of Nlr. Thomas Jackson's Biology ll tests, senior Wesley Strange wears his overalls that proclaim it is Jackson's Test Day. B. Caught by senioritis, senior David Lands becomes lost in his own thoughts as his instructor's lecture goes in one ear and out the other. C. Although slightly uncomfort- able, senior Brad Crawford actively participates in class discussion. D. Either extremely sleepy or bored, senior Jerry Delova sneaks in a nap during his second period government class. E.

Being a cheerleader is a rewarding, but difficult job, and the hardest part of all is passing the test to be one. Requirements for being a cheerleader are relatively simple. Girls must maintain an overall C average, have no U's or F's, and have lots of spirit and enthusiasm, Mrs. Doll Forrest, adviser to the girls before tryouts, said. Getting past the judges, though, is the most difficult and trying step in becoming a cheerleader. Out of 68 girls trying out for a position on one of next year's squads, 25 girls were finally chosen. Judges Nancy Galbreath and Lynne Champion from Dobie High School, and Julie Price from La Porte High School, selected three returning cheerleaders along with a first year cheerleader to support the sophomores. They were: freshmen Joan Tay- lor, Melinda Poole, Becky Pattison and Cathy Smith. All former cheerleaders were chosen to the positions of varsity football cheerleaders. Passing the test were juniors Kim Hartwell, Glenda Walker, Stacy Zucha and Nancy Spinks. Sophomores Linda Westmoreland and Peggy Rushing were also elected to the squad. For the first time, two sets of cheerleaders were established for the basketball teams - one for the boys and one for the girls. Cheering their way to the boys' squad were junior Rhonda Byerley, sophomores Fran Hunt, Vicki Jo Crow, Nancy Riggle, Lisa Pas- chal and Tyma Camp, returning for her third year as cheerleader. Sophomores Teresa Adams, Donna Daughdary and Linda Pate, and juniors Brenda O'Neal and Laura Stark were selected to support the girls' teams. Vying for a position on the freshman squad, 37 girls from both Deer Park and Deep- water Junior High tried out. Judges selected four eighth graders including Cindy Beel, Sarah Blanton, Tina Finkledei, and Dawn Shaw.. With so many cheerleaders, many of them returning to their second and third years, there should be no lack of team support and spirit inthe coming year. A. Facing the judges, sophomore Nancy Riggle prepares to begin her cheer. B. Concentrating on her cheer, junior Rhonda Byerley displays the skills which helped her acquire a position as boys' basketball cheerleader. C. Freshman Cathy Smith ends her cheer with a spirited jump which won her a position on the sophomore squad. D. Taking her turn before the judges, sophomore Lynette Ellis performs her cheer. CLASSES 1 PAGE 279 Office assistants earn credit, gain experience By initiating student assistants, the high school administration has made it possible for students with a free period to earn quarter credits by assisting in the offices, the library and in various classes. ln order to be eligible for student assistant, an application must be completed and turned in to Mr. Homer Powell, assistant principal, who considers the appli- cant's grades and number of absences over the previous years. Once approved, a student can only receive credit for three quarters as student assistant, and a grade satisfactory or unsatisfactory is given at grading time. After being chosen as an assistant, the student is assigned to one of the areas requiring assistants. If he is assigned to the attendance office, it is his responsibility to gather absentee slips from the doors and record the names of students absent. Doing mainly clerical work, the assistants in the counselor's office do filing and organize lists of names to be printed. If chosen as a library aide, the duties of the students are to straighten shelves, issue books to stu- dents, deliver video equipment to various rooms and occasionally to operate the music that is heard in the south campus cafeteria during lunch. Band students with a free period are often chosen to assist in the band hall. Their responsibili- ties are to sort music and help with correspondence. ln other areas of the school, such as biology, history and government classes, the primary duty of the assistant is to type tests and grade papers. Some students are even assigned to assist in all aspects of physical education classes. An average of 145 students served each quarter. On the south campus, 405 assisted. Seventy-five percent were seniors and 25 percent were juniors. Four- teen students on the north campus assisted in various clerical responsibilities. When one considers all that is involved in being a student assistant, it doesn't seem ciuite as easy. However, it does give some practical experience and, best of ali? does not require any outside preparation. A. All excuses are kept on record as shown by sophomore Linda Walpole, who files each one under the students' names. B. By marking absences on students' cards, sophomore Linda Pate assists the attendance clerk in keeping accurate records. .pf n Y L ,.. VY X-.ly.

Having a job means responsibility, but it also affords noteworthy benefits. In a poll taken of a cross section of 200 students, 49.7 percent of the people do work. The smallest number of work- ers was in the freshman class while the largest number was in the senior class. Those who do work got the job by application or by recom- mendation of a friend or relative. Salaries range from 52.20 to 54.05 per hour. Most students work hours after school which run until 9 or 10 p.m., or even later. The average work week is generally 20 to 40 hours. Seventy percent of those who do work said working did not affect their grades. It does, however, affect their week- ends. Of those who do not work, only two percent said they did not plan to work in the future. The remaining 98 percent replied that they would like to begin working in the summer, after a sport in which they participate is over, or after gradu- ation. With any job there is certain to be disadvantages along with the advantages. This is voiced by one student who said, Now that l have the money to spend, I can't get off work to spend it. A.

During after school hours, they are used by club members for meetings and inductions. To those taking the PSAT, they serve as large classroom areas. They have been used for the Football and Spring Sports Banquets, and for dances and the annual picture sale. Even though cafeterias are considered by most a boring place, they are in actuality the center of the students' social life. A.

A good example of this is Juan Epstein of the TV show Welcome Back, Kotter, who is known for the abundance of excuses he keeps on hand at all times, all signed by Epstein's mother. His excuses are always obviously transparent and seem to be related to some of the excuses heard in the attendance offices. To students with unexcused tardies or absences, the most popular solution is to get one's mother to write that the student was ill, had a doctor's appointment or some other valid-sounding excuse. Should she not agree to do this, the next step would be to find a friend with a mature-looking handwriting to forge the note. These methods are often successful, but there is a certain amount of risk involved. For the attendance clerks, this job can be very difficult. lt is their duty to decide whether a note is authentic or not and mistakes can easily be made. Often, phony excuses are received and valid excuses are not. One thing is cer- tain, if there were not quite as many, the clerks wouldn't have as much difficulty deciding whether they are believable or not. A. Having forgotten her note, freshman Lori Schultz makes a quick call to Her mother. B. Freshmen Kerri Kelley and Lynn Goodspeed wait to receive their blue slips. C.

Electricity is a good example. No one has a second thought about it until they don't have it. 1 There were a lot of people taking second thoughts about ll l na electricity one black day in November when a power failure left half of the south campus without lights. I l One of our two separate systems of electricity was shut I N' ' oft, said, Nlr. Homer Powell, assistant principal, when a power line was cut on Center Street. This accounted for some rooms having light and others not. In the event both systems l had failed, an emergency generator would have clicked on within 30 seconds. , For two periods, teachers without electricity crowded their classes into the lighted hallway, an empty neighboring class- room with electricity, or the cafeteria and mall area. Studies continued as usual, but the blackout did break the monotony of the regular school day. A. Coach Robert Dunivan moves his third period Algebra I class in to the lighted hallway and continues teaching as usual. B.

Class secretaries took the minutes at class meetings and the reporters fulfilled their duties by being responsible for publicity. Serving for the first time as class officers, Jason Cutbirth was elected president by the junior class, while Mark Knox was chosen for vice president. Serving as secretary, Joy Hughes served in that capacity for her third year. Denise and Diana Bean held the offices of reporter and treasurer, respec- tively. Sophomores selected Shelby Dement to his second year of presidency, while Sheri Ladd was elected vice president. Ste- phanie Stephens was chosen for the position of secretary and Theresa Purpera filled the office of treasurer. For her second consecutive year, Karen Painter served as reporter for her class. Voting in high school for the first time, freshmen selected five girls to head their class.

Mrs. Katherine Moore, a teacher in the district for 14 years, is no exception. Having taught high school English for 14 years and spe- cial education for 14 years, she likes the thought of retiring, but hates to give up what has been an important part of her life and career - the students. At most, Mrs. Moore has 12 students in her classes. Each of these students attends three other classes during the day, usually elective courses. It is Mrs. Moore's job to teach the fundamental academic courses of math, history and language arts. Her main objective, though, is to help them to be happy, well- adjusted individuals capable of supporting themselves after graduation. Teaching this class has been a challenge, Mrs. Moore said. I have enjoyed it and it gives me a sense of satisfaction to see these kids complete school, get married, hold jobs and live normal lives, as all of them do. A.

Additions such as an entrance from the M Building will be erected from the office on the first floor, and through the old home economics room on the sec- ond floor. The B Building entrance on the first floor will be through the kitchen of the B cafeteria, and on the second floor, an addition will exist behind the library as an entrance to the new building. The main entrance will be located between M Building and Mason Auditorium facing Ivy Street. Five science labs, nine business labs and 10 extra classrooms - a total of 24 extra classrooms, will compose the second floor of the complex. The first floor will consist of a central administration office, library and cafeteria. The present B and M offices will be converted to departmental offices, and when the need for more room arises, the old library and M cafeteria will be divided into class- rooms. The construction is expected to be completed by January, 1978. While the end result of the construction may be good, it is presently inconven- iencing north campus teachers and students. A covering has been built above the sidewalk along lvy Street. Since the walk between B and M Building isclosed off, along with the inside parking lot, students must walk around the school to get from B Building to M Building, M cafeteria, the band hall and two gyms. Other problems caused by the construction are the increasing rate of tardies, caused by the distance between the buildings, and the noise, which tends to disrupt classes. Even though a few think it is unfair that they have to endure the inconven- iences while others who will succeed them will enjoy the results, most students agree that it will be a much better school for future students. A. To protect students from poor weather conditions and possible construction hazards, a covered walkway was built along lvy Street. Spectators' enthusiasm adds to athletic events To the athlete, enthusiasm from the crowds is greatly appreciated. A roar of applause may give a disheartened football player the strength to run one more yard, or a basketball player the will to make a winning basket. A moan of disappointment from the stands lets them know that others share in their misery. Even when the team is doing well, it still gives them a lift to know that they are being supported by their loyal fans. Supporting an athletic team begins before the game, often at pep rallies. With the band playing, the Escorts, student body and faculty yelling along with the cheerleaders, the effect on the players has to be a boost of spirit toward win- ning. Posters and skits paying tribute to the Deer help to raise their spirits even higher. Spectators definitely add to the athletic contest. A. Sophomores Bo White and Tom McGuire show their enthusiasm at a pep rally on the north campus. B. By showing spirit at a pep rally, sophomore Vicky Grein demonstrates her support for the school. C.

For some, though, studying seems to have a much better effect on test grades than it does for others. These lucky people, whose hard work always reaps much coveted A's, have a secret to their success. Diligently applied study, done the night before, is probably the answer. Cramming, the name given to the type of studying done by some students with lower grades, is a common problem. There are various ways to cram for a test, none of which are very effective. Trying to learn the parts of a crayfish, while riding the bus to school will only result in permanent nearsightedness and bus-sickness. Studying for a history test, while being reviewed for an impor- tant English test to be given the following day will most likely result in low grades on both tests. It also doesn't pay to start learning multiple theorems for geometry on the way to class. Making a good grade on a test depends on how much attention has been paid to lectures and homework assignments. lf little preliminary preparation has been made, studying will not increase the grade. If classwork has been done, limited studying should be needed, but it should be done at home, the night before, where full attention can be given, even if it means missing that favorite TV show. A. Sophomore Janelle Stout finds the library a quiet place to finish up her homework before school. B. Using the library book drop as a bench, sophomore Alan Balusek uses extra minutes in lunch for doing his classwork. C.

',,,,f .-,f ls -rr, X PAGE 299 I CLASSES luniors read Huck Finn in English III As members of English lll, all juniors were required to read the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain. For three weeks, students could be found reading the pages assigned for that day. Most teachers gave short quizzes occa- sionally as an added incentive to students to keep up on the reading. At the end of the course, a composition was due from each student and a major test was given. ln an effort to break the routine of regular study, Mrs. Flo Schelling, English Department chairman, assigned an extra credit-required project to her advanced classes. The activities did not count much in the grade and the choice as to the type of activity was left open for the students to enable them to do their project according to individual talents. Numerous posters and original poems depicting incidents in the novel were dis- played. Three-dimensional figures and oil paintings were also included. A favorite for the students was a cake which the stu- dents took time out to eat, decorated to look like the Mississippi River. To add a little excitement to the projects, several stu- dents put on skits portraying the more humorous parts of the story. A. Teresa Williamson, junior, displays an original poem embroidered on burlap to Mrs. Flo Schelling's second period class. B. Junior Debbie Morgan, depicting a woman in the novel, advises Huck, played by jun- ior Cathy Taylor, in the art of being a girl. C.

Because of this interest, a variety of courses are offered which teach the art of keeping a home. Among these courses are Foods l and ll. ln Foods l, basic recipes are tried while in Foods II, the students advance to gourmet and foreign cooking. With prices as high as they are, knowing how to sew is a helpful asset. In Clothing l, the fundamentals of sewing are taught and simple garments are made. Clothing ll students learn how to tailor, crochet, knit and embroider. Another course offered to interested students is Home and Family Living. A two quarter course, it deals mainly with personal adjustment, dating and mar- riage. Other courses dealing with the home are child development, home furnish- ings, and home management, all one quarter courses. In child development, the students learn the stages of development of children as well as the care they require. They practice care of babies with a doll, or occasionally a real baby. In home furnishings, they learn the basics of interior decorating and how to select furniture. ln home management, the major emphasis is placed on learning to budget. In my opinion, Mrs. Sadie Cherry, homemaking teacher said, homemak- ing is one of the most practical courses offered. It can be used all through one's life, whether or not one plans to marry and set up a home. A. Junior Sharon Thornton learns how to feed a baby by practicing on a doll in her sixth period child development class. B.

Often this talent is not completely devel- oped and must be brought out through teaching. It is for this reason that art courses are offered. Each of the available art courses encompasses a large variety of projects. Among these are drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and ceramics. Courses range from Art I where basic work is done, to Art lV where the work is more advanced and the students have more individual choice in projects. A crafts class is also offered which features such skills as textile design, macrame, hook rugs, weaving and stitchery. Even if one has not been blessed with an abundance of artistic talent, it is still possible to learn and enjoy some of the skills that are taught in these courses. The only prerequisite is having the desire to be creative. A. Junior Jeannine Lyons concentrates on a needlepoint design in Mrs. Carrie Ballard's fourth period Art Ill class. B. Junior John Wilson creates an original Macrame hanger in his Art Ill class. C. Creating her own design, junior Carol Needham constructs a rya rug using a hook needle. CLASSES !

The completion of Driver's Ed and the sixteenth birthday are the two most awaited events in the lives of freshmen and sophomores. Juniors and seniors smile at this impatience, remembering their own similar feelings. They remember with a shudder the days before they owned a car and the privilege of driving. They recall with laughter the near-accidents in Driver's Ed and the dates on which big-brother chauffeured, and with embarrass- ment, the fear experienced, but not admitted, while finally being given the final test. They remember the fears of mothers and the promises never to drive with her in the car again, and feel genuinely sorry for those who have yet to experi- ence these traumatic events. With so many people driving, Driver's Ed is a very necessary course, no mat- ter how much the student would like to skip it and begin driving without it. Nlost look forward to it as a chance to drive - a big event for an unlicensed person. They are surprised to find that it's not all that easy. Six weeks of the quarter course include mostly paperwork. Answers to approximately 100 questions, taken out of the Texas Driver's Handbook, are required from each student. The other six weeks are spent alternately in the simulator and the cars with strict grading done in both. With the facilities available, Driver's Ed has become quite a convenient course. Because of the number of students signed up, it is offered seven peri- ods a day with those taking it seventh period remaining off-campus until second period. The simulator offers comfort and convenience to students, and the number of cars available allows students to ride uncrowded while receiving in- car instruction. The greatest convenience, though, is the withdrawal of the S30 fee once required of students. It is amazing how such an important thing to a freshman or sophomore becomes so trivial within months after the privilege is granted. As long as driv- ing and cars and Driver's Ed exist, students will continue to look forward to, dread and reminisce about days in Driver's Ed. A. Preparing to receive instruction, sophomores Evette Denney and Steve Marshall exchange places in the car. B. Perfecting her behind the wheeI techniques, junior Brenda Verrett concentrates while in the simulator. C. With'an abundance of driver edu- cation training cars, students ride uncrowded while being instructed in driving proce- dures. ,545 CLASSES! PAGE 315 Science courses offer foundation for college Science is the major field in the technological world today, Mr. Otis Smith, physics teacher, said. Because of its importance, a great number of science courses are offered. Science is required by most colleges and is the basis for many iobs. Physical science is a course offered to freshmen. lt is, as its name implies, a very general course, teaching the fundamentals of physics and chemistry. Biology I, an elective course, is the study of plant and animal life. Squeamish students, usually girls, immediately regret having taken it as the first assign- ment is to dissect an animal that has been rubberized by formaldehyde. Other assignments include collecting various plants and insects and labeling them with their scientific names. , Chemistry and physics are the two most advanced courses offered. In chem- istry, students study chemical changes and learn how to be good consumers by examining common chemicals which are used every day. ln order to make application of his teachings, Mr. Frank Butcher, chemistry teacher, sets up experiments for his students in which they prepare artificial flavorings, aspirin and other household elements. Physics is the study of mechanics of heat, light, sound, electricity and elec- tronics. It is the study of energy and its transformation, and according to Mr. Smith, a profusion of gears, levers, and oscilloscopes, as well as a multitude of frustrations. Science, however, does not deal solely in mechanics. lt is in reality a search for truth and a glimpse of philosophy, Nlr. Smith said. A. Junior Joey Kirkpatrick prepares to launch a gun cotton rocket in Mr. Frank Butcher's third period Chemistry class. B. As one of the steps in making aspirin, junior Rusty Smariga crystalizes the aspirin using an ice bath.

Given the opportunity to choose the course they wanted, most students were involved in changing teachers. Some teachers showed filmstrips or slides, hosted guest speakers and tested students over the material taught during the week, while others initiated games and group discussions. Teachers also had a choice as to the subjects they wished to teach. Mr. Jim Ware used experiences he had on a recent trip to Russia as a basis for discus- sions featuring the Soviet Union. The South African majority rule conflict was taught by Mr. Terry Goodwin, while the Arab and Jew conflict was taught by Mr. Dennis Chaloupka. Mr. Donald Edwards discussed Cities in Transition, while Miss Judy Kellow's class studied problems existing in China. On a more per- sonal level, Miss Shirley Cook discussed the participation and cooperation required when people or nations congregate in groups. Mrs. Sue Cleveland, Mrs. Charlene Poole and Mr. Larry Arnhold each taught a course entitled Food, Population and Your Future which dealt with the prospect of starvation and possible foods for the future. Mr. Noe Boghs and Mrs. Cathryn Mabry taught the subject of Roots, which explained to the students how to trace their fam- ily trees. The main purpose of these courses, Mrs. Sue Cleveland, coordinator of the project said, was to allow a different environment for the students for a week, and to provide insight into present and future world problems. A. Junior Craig Barclay listens while Mr. and Mrs. Jim Ware tell about the experiences they encountered on their recent trip to Russia. Juniors Eladio Diaz, Ross Cowart and Mark Striedel examine some of the souvenirs they brought back. CLASSES I PAGE 319 wo phase course equips sophs for emergencies A major concern of some people today is health and because it is a required course, some students are concerned about it, too. Their interest is mainly scholastic however. Two quarters of health are required during the sophomore year. One phase of the health course is first aid. During this phase of the study, students learn the various kinds of bandages and apply these techniques by practicing on each other. They learn what to do in such emergencies as snakebite, poisoning and drowning. Accidents are staged to test students on their ability to react quickly and correctly. Also studied are the types of drugs and their effects. Another phase of health deals with sex education. Suppression of this study is a natural response, but health teachers feel there is no need to conceal it as any risks to the students lie not in knowledge of this information, but in igno- rance of it. The importance of health is stressed in the words of Mr. Kelley Hazen, Health Teacher, we feel that a health curriculum is vital to the students because it enables them to reach the full potential of both their physical and mental needs. A. Sophomore Chris Hall applies a figure eight bandage to sophomore Sharon Lyons' ankle in lVlr. Joe Nickell's sixth period health class. B. Using sophomore Tim Vannoy as his model, Mr. Nickell demonstrates to his class a cravat-bandage-to-the-head. C.

Off campus, students follow their own interests and develop skills in the pastimes which they enjoy most. Some of these extracurricular activities require more than just a desire for entertainment. They demand goals and incen- tives, the main one of these being a desire for self- improvement. One area where this applies is gymnastics. Participat- ing in an individual sport, gymnasts must do their stunts alone and with much concentration and practice. Gener- ally, students interested in gymnastics practice two nights a week plus to learn and perfect the art. Another activity requiring much skill and, even more, a desire to improve oneself, is motorcycle racing. lt takes a tremendous amount of courage to join in this sport because of the dangers involved, but in spite of the risk, the sport is quickly becoming more and more popular. Rodeoing is also another sport quickly rising to popu- larity among students. For some, a rodeo is merely a SpeCtat0r-Sport, but for others it is an important facet in their lives. Recently, some of the more enthusiastic rodeo fans started a Rodeo Club, whose present objective is to restore the Deer Park Rodeo. Other interests which do not require as much risk or skill, are also undertaken by students. For some, paint- ing, sewing, bowling or skating are favorite pastimes. Basketball and tennis are also popular among students who like the sport, but do not excel in it. It seems that a favorite pastime of most male students is to work on cars, an interest which requires time, effort, skill, and lots of money! Whatever the activity, it can be used simply as a pas- time, for entertainment's sake only, or it can be devel- oped into a lifetime, as some are surely destined to do. A. With the help of her gymnastic coach, junior Julie Barley works on a back flip in one of her bi-weekly practices. B. Striving to perfect his double back flip, sophomore Joel Berry receives assistance from the coach. Both Julie and Joel are members of the competitive team at Olympia School of Gymnastics.

Held together by bonds, both academic and social, the students and faculty form accom- munity within the school. THE DEER is not just a book of dormant buildings, differen- tial equations, test tubes and campus changes. The dissertation has been to pres- ent a more in-depth view of, school lif-e through a closer look at curriculum, depart- ments, resources and behind-the-scenes personnel. . Quite intentionally, the picture story of the book is aimed at the individual injaca- demics and organizations with the initial opening section serving as the incapsula- tion. No matter how prestigious the school may be academically and physically, at the base of this acclaim lies the student. ' A A. Alter dropping the motor, senior Eddie Lawery prepares to setthedwell. B.

After graduation, one often finds himself in a peculiar predicament. Life directing decisions, shrouded by the certain- ties of school life, must be made concerning careers. Thoughts of the real world and inde- pendence, once childhood fantasies, take on new and threatening proportions. Somehwere between a battery of tests and interviews for college or a job, the senior finds at least a partial answer to his problems. A. Prior to the graduation exercise, Kyle James Zollers and Barry Lee discuss their plans for the future. B. Rick Lang pins the bottom of Melodie McDonald's gown as they prepare to go on to the field at Clyde Abshier Stadium. C. Mrs. Peggy Roper, registrar, secures Tami Bush's collar before marching to the field. D. Mark Bingham and Paul Englishbee assist Lisa Howard with her gown prior to the commencement exercises. E. Blocking the sun during the graduation practice, Leslie Doebbler listens to final instructions from Mr. David H. Watkins, Jr., principal. F. After receiving his diploma, Leon Goodwin completes the tassel turning as a part of the tradition at graduation.
