What was the secret? Well, after all a secret ' s a secret but we can give a few interesting hints: IS pirit was climbing higher than ever and students were becoming proud of their school. £j very sport, academic, and club was improving its tech- niques to the highest ability. v hanges were occurring to benefit the students such as moving into the Mid-School for more room and new classes and academic plans were offered. Iv enovations were being made to improve the structure and appearance of the school. For instance, the snack bar was increased in size and offered a variety of foods to choose from. H fforts made by the students to win at competition were being rewarded with trophies, prizes, and certificates of hon- or. 1 caching methods were improving and were effectively helping students to learn. Enough has been told because good news spreads fast. So sit up and listen, because we ' re about to let the cat out of the bag! ▼ Anticipating the start of the mu- sic, the Cardinal Bells prepared to perform a dance routine to Wipeout by the Fat Boys.

With a better more improved Athletic department. Plus the band, choir, and drill team are growing in size and spirit. The enrollment is growing and along with that is more student involvement. We saw that with over half of the student body coming for the first home Varsity Football game. Open your eyes and you will see spirit flowing over the top. -Boy, we really do have a lot to be proud of. -I just thought of something, this is not a secret.

But when it came to school spirit and enthusiasm the student body bonded together through thick and thin. There were many new changes to the way of Hfe. Students adjusted to new rules in the dress code and enjoyed the extra 3 minutes between classes. Benefited from many new reno- vations, the new snack bar and more room for the middle school. The students took the bad with the good and stuck together. The student body was very competitive between each other. This made each class work harder to make more spirit, enthusiasm and confidence. Students stood up for what they believed in. This was shown when the Seniors protested a pep rally because they said there was unfair judging during home- coming. With people from all walks of life, the student body came together to let the world know what our Secret Society is all about. Secret is pride, spirit, and the ability to make the best of what you have. Q pirit Week of Homecoming boosts student morale Watch Us Now were the words and the theme that carried Spirit Week right up to Homecoming night. A kick off pep rally in front of the school on Monday started Spir- it Week off with All the Right Moves. Featuring the stars of to- morrow, That ' s Entertainment inspired Tuesday ' s variety show. Senior Chris Berdoll won the tal- ent contest. Nothing less than Nightmare on Cardinal Field was appropri- ate for Wednesday ' s monster wed- ding. Student Council members, the Homecoming princesses and a few teachers dressed up as mon- sters and performed a mock wed- ding promoting Cardinal spirit and pride. The monster wedding was something really different, soph- omore Melissa Kinsey said. It was entertaining because the peo- ple in the wedding were people you wouldn ' t expect to do something like that, and they looked silly. On Thursday, Homecoming princesses and their parents at- tended a breakfast reception. Thursday night was capped off with a parade and bonfire. Ex-Del Valle football star T.J. Dilworth was the guest speaker. The Gram- my Awards on Friday brought two more ex-football stars to the pep rally, Cornelius Walker and Skip Walker.

The students slowly filled the gymnasium and as they did a new mood seemed to fill the air. No longer pressured by completing undone homework or the worries of seeming too loud or wild, the students now assumed their sec- ond identities of rally animals. The pep rally was a way of unit- ing the whole student body under the same roof to motivate hidden feelings of school spirit. For some showing school spirit is not a prob- lem, while others take a little in- spiration before they release their feelings. Most lower classmen ap- peared a slight bit timid, but at the sight of wild seniors and juniors cheering along, waving mini-pom poms and being as noisy as pos- sible, they lost their tension and joined in on the activities at hand. I enjoy pep rallies because they build school spirit, give you a break from your classes, and let you release some of your anxieties built-up during the week, senior A.J. Foulois said. The unusual manner assumed at the event was the students way of showing the team they were not alone. The students cheers and yells help to hipe-up each player. I think the pep rallies raise our spirits and give us reason to try and win at the upcoming game, junoir Vance Foradory said. Students attended the rallies for reasons ranging from the oppor- tunity to get away from actvity pe- riod to having the chance to be a part of their school and supporting it. Playing Louie Louie for the first time, the band excites the crowd.

Halftime during the football game was the peak of the week. The annual halftime parade took its route around the track, bringing in floats from in-school clubs, the Ex-Students Association, and the Homecoming Court. The stadium became quiet as Gwen Bonner ' s voice carried through the loud speaker. And the 1987 Homecoming Queen is Miss Carey Click. Click ' s court consisted of seniors Tiffany Homsby and Debbie Kaiser, jun- ior Jennifer Johnson, sophomore Judy Tuttle, and freshman Iris Hernandez. I didn ' t even hear it when she announced my name, Click said. I looked to see who was getting the crown and Mr. Brown (principal) and Deanna Quick (1986 Queen) were coming to me. I was shocked. The game was lost to the Bastrop Bears 0-7, but the night was not over. The Homecoming dance, Watch Us Now , carried out the movie theme from Spirit week . There was a lot of hard work put into Homecoming, Student Council member John Arriaga said. We spent many hours after school preparing.

Royalty Student Life irccstylc Skateboards and bikes burn hard and heavy O katoboards and bicycles have been around for several genera- tions and have provided entertain- ment for millions of American teenagers. But they are no longer just a means of transportation, now both are used for all sorts of stunts. Skating ' s not an attitude, it ' s a way of life, sophomore David Thysscn said. Board riders and freestylers among the student body explained that tricks were learned through the proccess of trial and error. The only thing the spectators notice is how neat the tricks looked and the occassional sight of someone over- shooting a shift of weight and fall- ing. In frccstyling you have to spend a lot of your freetime prac- ticing if you want to be perfect, so ride and not die, said junior Fred Johnson. The tricksters told stories of ex- treme frustrations met when trying different tricks desired to be learned. New tricks gave the riders variety and different variations on old tricks made possibilities of even more tricks limitless. The secret to success for frees- tylers and board riders was a dif- ficult one and known to a few who had what it took; dedication, pa- tience, a lot of skill, and the sheer will to be the best or as close as possible.

Whenever you start at a new school, the first year is always hard, but with lots of patience and love we ' ll make it, Garcia said. For the second year in a row the band participated in the Aquafest parade. It was a lot of work, but a blast, said junior Marco Perez. Preparation for football games and contest began at the start of summer band. It was quick learning and con- centration, sophomore Donny Mills said. The band practiced from 8 a.m. until 12 noon. It was long, but worth it because we got ahead on our shows, senior Stefanie Merculief said. The band participated in three different marching contest. First the Westlake Marching Festival , then the district U.I.L. competition and the Tropicana Festival in Huntsville. But it was the football games that were the highlight of the fall. It gave us the chance to show a lot of people what we can do when we put our talents together, said freshmen Paul Orta. Showing their spirit, the band performs to the Greatest Love of All at the home- coming pep rally. The band was always a contender for the spirit stick.

Every now and then, though everyone was lucky enough to find time to do the things they really enjoyed. What people did in their spare time varied from working, to talking on phones, watching t.v. or plain old going out with their friends. Freetime is time to do the things that you don ' t have time to do during school, junior Pat Simo said. One of the more popular pastimes was freestyling. Even if one didn ' t skate or freestyle it was still consider fun to watch. Skating helps me take out my aggressions. I learn a lot from watching other people and I like to practice it, Simo said. Doing something one enjoys. Freshmen Mike Griffith spends spare time after school freestyling on his scooter. Frees- tyling was a popular sport this year. Phoio By MMKXie Kills however, doesn ' t have to take much effort. Most kids find listening to the the radio or watching television takes their mind off pressures relating to school. I just like listening to music or going out with my friends, freshmen Bland Cooper said. Even teachers did things out of school besides teach. I helped out a lot with the cheerleaders, but if I wasn ' t doing that 1 spent a lot of time with my sisters, government teacher Annette Palmer said. Freetime during the school year was something that wasn ' t around much but those students who found it definitely used it wisely. ▲J Ji ll 18 V Freetime Student Life Sophomore Anna (Hon las spends her free- lime KoinK ) the mall and tryinK clothes on.

But when you ' re a military brat it ' s often a common oc- curance to be uprooted from place to place and school to school. My dad has been in the mil- itary for twenty years now. We ' ve moved a lot but I ' ve known people who have moved more than me, senior Steve Brown said. Because the school is located so close to Bergstrom Air Force Base, it has many Air Force brats each year. I ' ve gone here since kindergar- ten even though my dad is in the Air Force. He always goes on his assignments by himself so he can save us from the hardships of start- ing over, senior Robert Boatman said. Being a military kid has it ' s se- rious disadvantages. Often times it creates a strain on the family life. I hate making new friends. When I lived in Las Vegas I had the best friends in the world. Then my dad told us we had to move and I really hated leaving them, Brown said. There are, however, advantages to being an Air Force brat. Mil- itary kids get to see more exotic places overseas and travel a lot. My dad was stationed in Iran in the late seventies. That was re- ally interesting. Even though I was young and barely remember it, I still remember the sights and the people. It was really interesting, senior Matt Dworacyk said. Even with their differences, mil- itary kids are one of the best kept secrets. Paying his way into a dance, senior Steve Sagerty is one of the many military brats who has had to meet new friends each time his family has been reassigned to another base.

High school stu- dents often used its facilities for their own benefit as well. They could research history, sci- ence, and English papers in the University ' s extensive library. Books needed for class and any supplies necessary for campus life could usually be found in the UT bookstore. In addition the band was con- nected to UT by raising money selling concessions at the Long- horn ' s home games. I always go down to the U.T. bookstore on the drag whenever I have to get a certain book for Eng- lish because I can almost always find it, senior Robert Barnett said. The library was also a place where many went to do research and study. If I have a major paper coming up I like to go there because I can usually find some information that I can use. I hate going to a library, looking for a book, and then find- ing out that they don ' t even have it, senior Jennifer Plant said.

Spirits were high as people let all their secrets come out into the open. From strange creatures in outerspace to sleek looking French bar maids the costumes varied far and wide as did the per- sonalities in them. Everyone had their own opinion of what hallow- een was all about. For me Halloween is a day that I can do just about anything I want to and no one cares because eve- ryone else is doing crazy things too, sophomore Carla Hohn said. Halloween was not only a time for dressing up though. It gave peo- ple an opportunity to make up for all the times their friends played a joke on them or to even get re- venge for something an enemy might have done. You could do it secretly or you could be more ob- vious. One time some of my friends and I completely toilet-papered this guy ' s whole house and yard. Then we filled his mailbox up with shaving cream. Luckily, he was a good friend of ours! junior James Ortiz said. Along with the pranks and get- ting dressed up there were the par- ties. Many studentswent to at least one while those with cars often cir- culated from party to party. All too soon though the witching hour was past and it was time to settle back into the routine of school with only fun memories and a few peices of leftover Halloween candy.

The drill team members attend- ed early morning practice sessions beginning at 7 a.m. to prepare for upcoming pep rallies and games. Although it was hard to get up because it was still dark outside, it was a lot easier to practice in the morning because we were fresh and not worn out, junior Tam- mey Blasdel said. Along with the drill team, many clubs and spirit committees also met before school while other stu- dents were in zero hour. Other extra-curricular activities did not begin until after school practice began at 3:45 p.m. when the last bell for the day had rung. We spent a lot of time in practice after the school day en- ded. Although I think it was tough, it really paid off when football season began, senior Abe Vanderberry said. To promote school spirit the cheeleaders decorated lockers and practiced every day to pre- pare for the upcoming games and pep rallies. Whatever their reason, many students stayed around the clock participating in their fa- vorite pastimes and supporting their school. Getting ready to begin early morning practice, the Cardinal Belles attempt to wake up with the sounds of music. Pholo B Sleie MK ' andless 26 ZZZZ . . .

Well, maybe there are not deer, antelopes, or bulTalos, but the coun- try areas and homes surrounding the school do have an abundance of farm animals ranging from chickens and rabbits to horses and cows. Many students have lived in the country on a farm or a ranch for their entire life, but others haven ' t even visited one. Any student who lives in the country understands work, before school and after school. Cietting up early to feed the an- imals before going to school every morning is a regular chore. senior Susan Guent el said. When one thinks of the country . he may think of a wide open field with a house in the middle and the nearest neighbors a thousand miles away, but others think of a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. A place where seldom is heard a discouraging word. I love the peace and quiet, it is really relaxing after a hectic day at school. junior Tammey Blasdel said. Living in the country is a way of life to many students, but it may just be the best kept secret to others. Getting ready for some fun, sophomore Lisa Butler ropes her horse.

Girls have been getting more involved with the things guys usually do and are enjoying it. Ag is the only class I look for- ward to going to. I get to learn about farming and I ' m treated like one of the guys. I don ' t get stuck with all the dirty work because it ' s a job that we all have to do, junior Amy Crump said. In the past, when a girl was put in a class that was taken mostly by males it put a strain on her to com- pete to be just as good as one of the guys and keep her female charac- teristics out of the class. Now that this is something more widely ac- cepted, it makes it a lot easier on her. She now can do what she wants to do and not worry about losing her fe- male image. I think that a girl can do just about any job that a guy can do and do it just as good and sometimes even better, senior Tiffany Homs- by said. But girls aren ' t the only ones mak- ing changes. Guys are starting to make the Mr. Mom image popular by becoming more involved in the Home Economics classes offered. In our Family Living class we learn a lot of things that I think will help me out greatly in my everyday life. We talk about love, marriage, communicating with others and how to get along with others, senior A.J. Foulois said. These classes can also prepare stu- dents for careers and for the classes they may have to take in college. I ' m planning on becoming a vet- erinarian and I think that by being in the ag class and working with the animals it will help me for when I get to A M., Crump said.

I hke eating at fast food res- taurants because I usely wait until the last minute before eating,and when it starts getting close to the time I have to be home it makes it good to be able to run in and get something to eat, senior Robert Burnett said. They can also help out people who are in a hurry. I remember one time when I had some place to be at a certain time and we were planning to go out to eat at this fancy place, and we were running late so we stopped off at this fast food place and guess what? We made it on time! senior Chad BerdoU said. One of the reasons fast food res- taurants are so popular is because so many students work at these places after school. I like my job at Dairy Queen because I get to meet a lot of peo- ple working behind the counter. It ' s not as bad of a job as people think, but you have to be able to work well with people to be good at it, senior Tracey Simpson said. Fast food restaurants may not be as elaborate as elegant restaurants, but they sure do come in handy for those on the run or out of time.

DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THE ABOVE!!! Mini-Mag Openfif , ' ' ; idds deli bar; r choices improve _ Click Many changes occurred in our school and one of the major ones was the improvement to the lunchroom. The remodeling of the snack bar and the addition of the deli bar made lunch a more bearable. The snack bar was not com- pleted or open to the students un- til Sept. 21, but most students found it worth the wait. On the other hand the deli bar was opened to students at the begin- ning of the year. I found the wait for the snack bar worth while because now I don ' t have to eat cafeteria food. Even though it ' s mainly junk food it still tastes better. fresh- man Tracy Byrom said. The selection offered included a bigger variety and it seemed to make a big difference in the eat- ing habits of the students. When I was a junior I ate in the snack bar everyday, only problem was that it was all junk food. Now I can get food that I like and that ' s good for me to go along with my junk food and still feel like I ' m eating a healthy lunch, senior David Martin said. The selections in the snack and deli bar varied greatly from the previous years. Some of the choices in the snack bar included hamburgers, french fries, pizza, corn dogs. Blue Bell ice cream, chips, and the regular assortment of sweets. In the deli bar on Mon- day, Wednesday, and Friday you could make your own salad or eat a large hot baked potato. On Tuesday and Thursday you could make your own sandwich with a chioce of at least five different types of bread. I liked these new additions to our cafeteria because you can eat either a hot or cold lunch accord- ing to your mood. Now I can get anything I want to eat except my very favorite thing, hot and juicy fajitas! junior LeeAnna Machen said.

Pholo By sieve Mr. ' Candless ii Clothes advertise products By Debbie Kaiser These days it seems as though food and fashion go hand in hand. Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Ruffles, Frito-Lay, Corona and Budweiser beers, just to name a few, have all incorporated with the fashion industry and have found their way into department stores. Food and beverage logos and trademarks can be found on shirts, pants, socks, under garments, wallets, purses, towels, bandanas, and many other items. For advertising reasons, it was prob- ably important for food to expand into the clothes industry, senior Tracy Harp- er said. But when I wear my Coke shirt I feel like a walking advertisement for the Coca-Cola Distributing Company. Clothes advertising food were not nec- essarily bought to display a person ' s food taste. I liked the Coke design on the shirt. I thought it looked neat and that ' s the only reason I bought it, senior Christine Rosales said. Advertising for food and beverage companies did not come cheap. An av- erage Coca-Cola shirt cost $35 to wear. The basic t-shirt displaying alcoholic drinks cost between $10 and $20. i yout By Krista Beavers Wearing a Coca-Cola jacket, junior Mateo Escobar is one of the many students that bought clothes which advertise a food product. .-.J What is your favorite . . . ? Sport Radio Station Lunchroom menu reflects changes By Krista Beavers With all the changes that took f)lace. one that didn ' t change the ooks of the school was the new cafeteria lunch menu. Food Service Manager Gitta Grether-Sweeney, who has just completed her first year as man- ager of the cafeteria decided to take a new and innovative ap- proach to serving school luncn- es. One of the many ideas that was worked into the menu was National School Lunch Week, October 11-17. The idea of the week was to focus on the dif- ferent ethnic groups that con- tributed to the American lifes- tyle. Some of the days were Scandanavian day, Middle East- ern day and West African day. The foods served on those days included gyros, congo chicken and pompeii fruit bars. With new food also comes new and sometimes higher prices. The cafeteria and new snack bar prices stayed basically the same, but certain prices on food such as rolls increased. I don ' t mind that the prices increased because the quality of the food improved a lot from last year, junior Sean Peters said. Mini-Nfai 5 t ew courses offer variety of classes By Krista Beavers Just when students thought life was going great, the counselors sprang some- thing new on them: New Courses. Four new courses were offered including Humani- ties, Algebra II Honors, Ad vanced Texas History and Pre-Calculus. Humanities was a combination of Eng- lish and History in a two- hour class. Gwen Bonner and Monica Shaw were the teachers. It was all right for the first week then having to sit in that classroom for two pe- riods a day finally got to me, juni or Marivel Her- nandez said. Hummanities students were still required to write a term paper which all students must write before gradua- tion. The students were al- lowed to take the normal break during the two hours. Algebra II Honors was added to the curriculum for excellant math students to get ahead of the rest of the class. I liked this class because it helped to broaden my knoweldge in math and hopefully will help me when I go to college, junior Marsha Snyder said. Trigonometry and Ele- mentary Analysis was of- fered to junior and senior students, but the name was changed to Pre-Calculus. Pre-Cal is an introductory course to Calculus. It is for students taking Physics or plan on entering some form of engineering in college. Teaching one of the many new courses offered, pre-cal teacher Bill Keithly talks to his class. Pholo by Sieve McCandless Parking space decreased By Debbie Kaiser It was a problem faced every morning by students who drove their own cars to school and got there past eight o ' clock . . . the over- crowded parking lot. I ' ve been driving for two years, senior Chad Berdoll said. If I ' m at school by eight, I can park at the cor- ner of the fence by the foot- ball field. One time I got here about 8:10 and I had to park by the fieldhouse. One empty lot in front of the school was used for parking by some students. but the property did not belong to the school and students were called to the office and asked to relocate their vehicles. While zero hour stu- dents, cafeteria workers, administrators, and teach- ers got the prime choice parking places each morn- ing, the 8 a.m. arrivers suf- fered by having to walk the extra length to the build- ing or chance having their car hit or towed when they parked in non-designated parking areas. By Carey Click Exchange program aids in learning customs By Zina Bernard It took guts, real guts, for a student to pack up his belongings, leave his family and friends, and travel to a country over- seas. I really missed my family and my three cats Temmee, Sara, and Cindy, junior Marc Zajicek said. Zajicek was one of the two students involved in the foreign exchange pro- gram. Originally from Co- logne, West Germany, he became involved in the program through his par- ents. My pajents informed me of the program and encouraged my participa- tion in it, Zajicek said. Although Zajicek had visited relatives in Wash- ington three times before on vacation, he had never been to Texas. The first thing I no- ticed was how hot it was, but I really like the food and parties here, Zajicek said. Orlando Sanchez was the other student in- volved in the foreign ex- change program. Origi- nally from the Canary Islands in Spain, Sanchez became informed of the program through a teach- er. My English teacher, Mrs. Wood, told me about the exchange program and my parents felt that the program was a valu- able learning experi- ence, Sanchez said. Sanchez was a senior and was excited about graduating in the United States. Zajicek will grad- uate at home. After I graduate, I might stay here in the U.S. and go to college, Sanchez said. h Preparing herself for pic- tures, senior Isiara Rodriguez takes one last look. Photo by Sieve McCjn dicss Yearbook highlights seniors in color By Stefanie Merculief For the first time in Del Valle ' s history, senior portraits were in color in the yearbook. The idea orginated with the yearbook co- editors Zina Bernard and Fred Duck, they pro- posed their idea to the senior class. We had to get 75 percent of the seniors to vote ' yes ' for the class pictures before we could go any further, Duck said. We explained the color would cost each senior more money besides the cost of the yearbook. When the seniors had their portraits taken, Sept. 10, each paid $7 toward the expense of color senior pictures in the yearook. Seniors are the only ones paying for color pictures, instead of making the whole school pay by raising the price of the book, Bernard said. $ Mini-Ma| „ • fe theaters provide %ji xpensive entertainment y Ben Vallejo Dollar movies are the new fashion in seeing a blockbuster movie really cheap. Austin has four one dollar movie theaters now, where as two years ago there was only one. I only go to dollar movies because they ' re cheap and usually really good movies are playing all the time, senior Johnnie Brockway said. Southwood Theater located on Ben White Boulevard was the first to start the trend. Soon after, the Aquarius Theater on Pleasant Valley, Mann West- gate on Westgate Lane, and Riverside Twin on Riverside Drive joined in. Dollar movies are good for one thing and that ' s to see great movies at a low cost. Eventually, almost all movies are shown at the dollar theaters. I just hate waiting for the movies to get there. Sometimes it takes forever. But, if the movie isn ' t that good, then it ' ll be there in a couple of weeks, senior Chad Berdoll said. Dollar movie theaters will probably be around for a long time. With the demand and popularity of them, perhaps even more theaters around Austin will follow the trend. Enormous crowds hit 6th street By Ben Vallejo Lights, loud music, and crowded streets are the first things noticed when crusing Sixth street. A closer look re- veals mobs of people from eve- ry part of Austin. The crowds gather to let off the steam from either a week of school or work; in some sit- uations both. Others go to meet new people. Sixth street gives students an opportunity to mix and mingle with the rest of Austin. Sixth Street is like the Hol- lywood Boulevard of Austin, Texas. It gives everyone a chance to get out and be part of the wild crowd. Sixth Street is a place to go and have lots of fun with your friends. , junior Elda Rodriguez said. Inter-cJub Council unites to determine activities By Fred Duck Increasing cooperation and communication among the clubs was the main goal in the Inter- Club Council (ICC). It also was intended to increase club in- volvement in school activities. The ICC was headed by the vi- ce president of Student Council, senior Fred Duck. A representa- tive from each club made up the body of the council. The council met about once every month. I felt the Inter-Club Council was a great help in planning ac- tivities for homecoming. It also gave the Student Council a chance to find out how other clubs were doing, get new ideas and hear concerns from other clubs, junior Danielle Cockrell said. The most important thing the Inter-Club Council did was to plan for the parade and halftime activities during Homecoming. I felt the ICC got more clubs involved and things were better organized, junior Jennifer John- son said. The Inter-Club Council was a great way for students to relay thier ideas and plans to other or- ganizations. The ICC gave me a new way to find new ideas to better improve the Drill Team. Plus I was able to let other clubs know what we were doing for homecoming and other times through out the year, senior Tina Adkins said.

Job experience prepares workers for real world By Ruth Fehlen It is an experience you have to live through, soph- omore Libby Dzienowski said. Jobs are hard to come by and sometimes demanding so why did people want to get one? The biggest reason was that students just liked to get out and do something they enjoyed and that benefitted them. I work at a fast food place in Highland Mall and there ' s al- ways so much that it taught me what responsibility means in about a day, said junior Amy Reyna. Of course, experience isn ' t the only thing people got out of a job. Earning the money was fun, said Dzienowski, because I got to earn it by taking care of small children and I really enjoy that. Fred Johnson said he liked knowing that if he needed ex- tra money to spend he would have it. Even when the going got rough people stuck to their jobs. I won ' t quit my job because even when I have a lot of school work to do I feel like I ' m preparing myself for when I get out of high school and I know that I ' ll be needing that prac- tice. , Reyna said.

Phalo By Sieve McCandless Domestic pets make life more hearahle By Tonya Turner Pets are something everyone needs at least one of. Some- times they do things to embarrass us, but we still love them. I like cats because they ' re soft, sophomore Heather Russo said. But no matter how much we love them they are always doing something to embarrass us. Around this area barnyard animals, such as horses, pigs, and lambs, were common pets. Pets of this nature benefit their owners with both enjoyment and usefulness. But while some people love nice little animals, others love different types of animals. I like horses, dogs, cats, and PARTY ANIMALS!! junior Jeff Webb said. But no matter where we go, there they ' ll be, those fabulous pets. Musical entertainment costs By Michael Fettes With a growing number of concerts in and around the Austin area, more and more students have attended these 90 minutes to two-hour musical performances. I like to go to concerts to see the group and to see my friends, junior David Whaley said. Students often spent a good amount of money at concerts. I usually spend around forty-five to fifty dollars, fresh- man Mark Hand said. Some of the more popular concerts in Austin included U2, Whitney Houston and George Strait. Serving students in the snack bar, sophomore Dorie Whited prepares for her future. Pholn By sieve Mcr.andless fjj) Mini-Mag e W ' ups jp teams Ikie Kaiser {ed and white paint, streamers, posters, signs, cans filled with rocks to make noise, banners and paper plates all had some- thing in common . . . SPIRIT. The spirit could only start in one place and that place was the spirit commit- tee. Each grade had their own group of class mo- tivators. The spirit committees met sever- al days a week during football season to pre- pare for Friday ' s pep rallies. Signs made ear- ly in the week before a game found their place in the hallways, plas- tered across the walls. I signed up for the spirit committee to help the seniors show support for our team and show our school spirit, senior Michelle Willard said. Spirit committee members as well as the athletes thought they benefitted from all the hard work that went into the decorations. It ' s fun and it makes the pep rallies more fun, senior Sharla Day said. A feeling of pride overwhelmed strong safety David Williams each week as the class- es chanted yells and waved their victory banners during the ral- lies. Each classes ' spirit committee worked to create the most amount of ' spirit paraphenalia ' to use at the Friday morning pep rally in hopes of winning the spirit stick. Dance hail caters to teenage crowd By Fred Duck Two stepping to a live band is what stu- dents did at he S.P.J.S.T. Hall. The S.P. ,as it was called, is a country western dance hall in Georgetown. It had a live country and western band every Friday and Saturday. The Hall was not just Country with some Rock Music. The S.P. was one of the few night clubs that students under 18 could go to. I think S.P. is great. I didn ' t mind driving that far because it is a safe and fun place to be. The people who go there are really out going, Tiffany Hornsby and I made a great Polka Team, but there was something lack- ing in our Jitter Bug, senior Susan Cole said. The S.P. gave a chance for students to get together with thier friends, dance and have a good time. It also gave an opportunity for students to meet people from other schools. Going dancing at S.P. with my friends allows me to get to know them better and also gives me the chance to meet people from other schools all at the same time, junior Paul Nehring said. The S.P. provides a great place for teenagers have a good time without drink- ing, senior Chris Berdoll said. Cost of romance soars high By Stefanie Merculief Josh: Hey, Zac, did you and Chelsie go out Saturday night? Zac: We sure did. Josh. We saw a movie and had a pizza. Josh: How much did it cost, out of curiosity? Zac: Well, out of my pay- check, I hope to have enough left for gas this week. The cost of romance was high, even for those with jobs. An average date costs be- tween 25 and 30 dollars, sophomore Robby Ellison said. The average date was a mov- ie, dinner, and riding around. Other attractions were con- certs, dance clubs, and a stroll through the mall. Girls want more than they did before, sophomore Scott Cadwalder said. Of course, there were other things to do. Just spending time together at the park or the lake with a picnic lunch, it doesn ' t always have to cost a small fortune, senior Chris Edmonson said. Another idea was to go dutch. But some boys didn ' t feel right about that. When I go out on a date, I don ' t like the girl to even get money out, sophomore Bubba Calhoun said. •By Debbie Kaiser Dating may be fun, but senior Daniel Reyna and junior Lina Gonzalez And out it can be expensive, too.

The new denim look had great style and taste. The different variations in design gave blue jeans a new and interesting spark, senior Christine Rosales said. Blue jean styles var- ied in many different ways. The most popu- lar were peroxide, acid, and stone washed jeans which gave the jeans splotchy, faded places in selected areas. It also softened the jean material to make them more com- fortable. Designers also varied the width of the blue jean from a light casual cloth to a thick material for variation and comfort. I really didn ' t have any preference be- tween the blue jean washes or the material because they all gen- erally produced the same effect, senior Nancy Nuspl said. Peroxide, acid, and stone washed jeans came in all different colors from red, to green, and even pur- ple. The most abun- dant colors, however, were black and blue. I liked all of the col- ors, but the black and blue denims gave a more distinct faded look in certain places against the darker ma- terial, senior Susan Cole said. Not all styles of blue jean were peroxide washed. Some design- ers chose to stick with the traditional dark blue, unfaded materi- al. Sporting fashion jeans are juniors Michael )ones, Terrance Mitchell, and senior David Thompson. Pho- lo By Steve McCandless J Dates need money By Krista Beavers Going on a date can be just as expensive for the girl as it is for the guy. Scenario number one: Jane Doe has a date with her boyfriend. She de- cides it is time to go to the mall and buy a new out- fit. A new outfit means skirt, shirt, shoes, ear- rings, necklace, bracelet, belt, scarf and purse to match. With dad ' s credit card in one hand, Jane Doe heads for the mall where she automatically heads for the most expensive store and immediately sees a shirt that she has to have. The shirt is a Liz Claiborne original that costs dad ' s card a massive $49. Next on the list is something to match her shirt, preferably a skirt. She spots her dream skirt in a store window. The skirt is an acid-wash mini-skirt which sells for a mere $45. So far the bill is $99 and she hasn ' t even begun buying the neces- sities. Next are accessories. The belt is a Ralph Lauren leather belt ($19.99). Earrings, neck- lace, and bracelet (total cost: $15). The shoes are Nine West genuine leath- er ($35). And finally, the matching purse was $8.95 (on sale). As one might have guessed, just preparing for a night on the town (a $5 movie and ($12 dinner) the average Jane Doe will spend about $199.22 (plus tax). Friends show thought with friendship bands By Tonya Turner A new phenomenon hit, friends started showing friendship a new way. Friend- ship bands were the hottest items. No matter what type or color they were, they were everywhere. Many a person believed that they were something special. They show a sign of friendship be- tween two people, junior Edward Vas- quez said. But many people thought they were a tool of popularity. They ' re bracelets which tell people of your popularity. junior Rhonda Woods said. A popularity contest or not, many people believed they were something special. I believe they are important because you show your friend you would take time out to make something for them, junior Martha Williams said. Many people thought they were stupid and there was no need for them. 41 Stud f m eive tickets ns hit road }y Carey Click Many people question whether students should be allowed to drive or not, but the fact remains that anyone over 16 is eligible for a li- cense. Teenage drivers really are a greater risk to our highways, said librarian Martha Click. After talking to numerous students this proved to be true. The major reason students got the tick- ets was for speeding. My ticket was deserved. I was driving to fast and got caught. I had to pay the price, senior Dennis Pol- ston said. Junior Martha Williams disagreed because she felt her. ticket was un- deserved and that they should raise the speed lim- it. Defensive Driving is a course offered to people who have received a ticket, and most of the students took advantage of the course. I had to take the course because I couldn ' t afford for my insurance to go up any- more! Senior Scott Luton said. Other students have taken the class but received other tickets after going to the class. When asked what the most dangerous circumstance that involves a teenage driver was, the most common response was goofing off and not being re- sponsible. A lot of the tick- ets received were because of the student not being re- sponsible and even a few wrecks were caused. The cause of my wreck was from driving too fast while the roads were wet. It wouldn ' t have happened if I would have slowed down, senior Troy Woodworth said. . VV Time added between classes enhances exchange period By Mike Fettes This fall, the high school students were given an extra two minutes between classes. This brought the total amount of time up to eight minutes. In order to add an extra minute, a little time had to be deleted from some of the classes. I really don ' t think the student were affected by the loss of the minute, sophomore Steven Futrel said. After taking over the mid school the extra time helped out a lot. Having the extra two minutes be- tween classes helped me because I was able to get to my classes and socialize with my friends without being tardy. Sophomore Mikel Borg said. I beleive it eliminated tardies and gave students extra time to think about what they needed for their next class, sophomore Chris Carson said. out By Stefanie Merculief Raquel Calderon Sibling relations brighten days By Carey Click Going to school with a brother or sister has its ups and downs. But the advantage of having someone there, can make a person feel good. Carrie is always there to loan me money if I forgot my lunch money, she ' s always there if I need a ride to school and best of all she is always there if I need someone to talk to, junior Darren Holweger said. There are other reasons besides just mon- ey or a ride to school involved. To these brothers and sisters, friends play a big role in their lives. I find it to be a big advantage because this way you can have twice as many friends, sophomore Jack Butler said. Their friends all respond pretty well to their brother or sister. My friends respond very well to Darren. They think he ' s nice and cute, Senior Carrie Holweger said. Now, along with the good you have to take the bad. We argue at home before we come to school and then we have to go throughout the day mad at each other. Everytime I see Jack something usually gets said to start the argument all over and then we get in trouble. Times like these I hate having him here, jun- ior Lisa Butler said. It also makes it tough on you when you don ' t know if you can trust your brother or sis- ter when something bad happens at school. If I get sent to the office, get in trouble in class or even fail a test Lisa always finds it necessary to tell mom, Jack said. Borrowing money from his sister. Celeste, sophomore Shane HofTman appreciates the favor. Pholo By Mario Gonzales. Lake areas appease By Zina Bernard Fun and sun was at the beach, or in our case, fun and sun exsisted at the nearest swimming pool or lake. When the average teenager was sit- ting at home bored on a beau- tiful sunny day, the idea of cruising to the lake for a little fun was a suggestion of ex- treme brilliance. The lake provided an es- cape from everyday, ordinary life. It was fun to go down there and sit in the sun, see the sights, and maybe go swim- ming. It was a great relax- ation, senior Lance Osborn said. Water activities were a fa- vorite pasttime of most stu- dents. When I had the spare time, I enjoyed the thrills of taking the boat out for a spin and going water-skiing, senior Chris Berdoll said. The Austin community provided many locations for water activities. The sur- rounding lakes were Lake Travis, Lake Austin, and Decker Lake. Common swim- ming holes included Twin Falls, McKinney Falls, and Barton Springs. When the weather and time was right, my mom and I usually headed down to Bar- ton Springs or McKinney Falls for fun in the sun, se- nior Tracy Harper said. Whether swimming, skiing or just lying around, being near water made for an ex- citing pasttime. Board reviews voting districts By Krista Beavers One of the hot topics discussed by the school board was whether or not to change the voting lines to single member districts. Currently, the school board members are elected on an at large system meaning that the members can live anywhere in the district. The board was faced with the decision to either leave the system as was or to switch it either to a 5-2 district or a 6-1 district. According to the 1980 census, Del Valle had a minority population of 45 percent (including blacks, hispanics, and asiansj.The other 55 percent being white. The present school board is represented by one minority. I agree with single member districts because the districts seem pretty uneven the present way. I think everyone should be represented and the way it ' s done now isn ' t fair, sophomore Jeff Baker said. Paper undergoes massive changes By Debbie Kaiser As the first RED WING was distributed Oct. 8, the new changes in the paper were visibly noticeable. The biggest change was the actual paper used to print on. We switched to book stock (the white paper] because the RED WING was ready for a change and we figured that would be a good place to start, editor Debbie Kaiser said. Among the other changes, the paper went to five columns, a new print type, mast head, and folio tabs. Since we went to camp, the staff is trained as more professional journalists and seem more or- ganized, assistant editor Krista Beavers said. These points seemed to have contributed to the major overhaul. With new staffs come new ideas, Kaiser said, and we changed to make everyone know it ' s a different year with different people. il goes to camp iring to be different, student ' council members went to the 1987 Texas Association of Stu- dent Councils (TASC). ' Dare to be Different ' was the theme of the camp which was held in early July at Southwest Texas State University. Students learned how to work better together to get jobs done and have fun at the same time. Student Council camp was re- ally fun. I met a lot of friends. At first I thought it was going to be a ton of work put on us. It was less than that. Everyone there was treated the same way. They all cared about each other and treat- ed each other with friendship and as brothers and sisters, freshman Pedro Hernandez said. Students learned procedures on how to run a meeting and their responsibilities as a mem- ber or officer. Going to Student Council camp was great. I learned a lot about how to work with others. I made a lot of friends and over all it was a lot of fun sophomore Amy Perales said. Camp was a learning time, but at the same it was meant to be a fun time, get to know each other in council, meet new people and exchange ideas with other coun- cils. With these things Council members learned what Student Council is all about. Michael Torres warms up for a game, photo By Sabina Moses Aqua Fest brings crowds to shores of Town Lake By Ruth Jehlen The atmosphere was charged and spirits were high in the summer with Austin playing host for the Fourth of July fireworks display and the anual Aus- tin Aqua Fest. Aqua Fest gave people a break to go and have fun with a lot of other people before the summer was over, sophomore Chris Rios said. This feeling was shared by many of the students who went. I loved being with all those people! Even though we didn ' t know each other everyone was friendly be- cause we were all there for the same reason, to enjoy ourselves, freshman Amy Perales said. The camaraderie wasn ' t the only thing shared by people at Aqua Fest. There were the performers too. Randy Travis was the best! Perales said. My boyfriend and I stood around and sharred a tur- key leg while we watched him. Aqua Fest was not all that went on though. There was the Fourth of July firework display too. The show this year was a lot better than last year ' s. My sister and I had a lot of fun that night. It was al- most like a party with us laying out on our blanket with all of our food and we must have drunk about twenty cokes, freshman Venus Merrick said. The summer ' s events put a bright spot on the cal- endar. Musicians practice to learn marching By Stefanie Merculief Marching around the field for hours, the day did not end until the band returned to the band hall for the night. Band members practiced at Berg- strom Air Force Base from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. with breaks for food and recreation during summer band. It was really hard work but it was fun, french horn player, Jen- nifer Clark said. The new head director, Rene Garcia had help from his ex-band members. They were instructors who specialized in different instru- ments. We learned a lot from the in- structors, tuba player Charles Salas said. Camp helped band members get better acquainted with Garcia. We got to work closer with the new director, Clark said. It gave us a chance to see his feelings and what he wants to do with the band. ' bt By Fred Duck • • Team works hard By Stefanie Merculief The players tackled, passed and ran for hours on end. Twice a day football players spent three hours in shorts and t-shirts doing special drills such as punt and kick-off drills. It was a time to experiment with personnel and football strategies, head coach Ray Dowdy said. Freshmen went through their first two-a-day ses- sion. It was a painful shock for them, Dowdy said. Upperclassmen had experience and they gave a good response. We got a lot out of it, senior defensive tackle Randy Abercrombie said. Confidence is the key to a good team. We went into scrimmages more confident, sophomore right guard, Bubba Calhoun said. The teams played two scrimmages. The freshman tied one and won the other. The junior varsity won one and the varsity was defeated. Togetherness was one outcome of the time the teams spent together. Leaders update yells, bring stunts to rallies By Carey Click Both the Varsity and Junior Varsity cheer- leading squads went to camp at SouthWest Texas State University. The squads worked from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. learning new cheers and stunts. All of their work paid off though because they were awarded with spirit sticks every day and superior and excellent ribbons. The new members of the squad thought the camp helped them out a lot. It helped me get to know the other girls better and to improve my self confidence as a cheerlead- er, ' freshman Caryn Click said. Both squads worked hard at improving their abilities. The hardest part of the day was cheering out on an open lield from about 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the hot sun, captain Susan Guentzel said. There were good parts to the day also. After finishing all the work the best part of the day came. I looked forward to getting a shower, putting on the Ben Gay and getting to bed! Sophomore Patty Whit- ed said. Write Journalists learn skills at SMU camp By Krista Beavers Journalism students attended a workshop sponsored by Southern Methodist University Ju- ly 27-31. Among the many activities staff members par- ticipated in all-day classes designed to teach them better writing and designing. Yearbook and newspaper editors also worked on theme developement and staff manuals for the 1987-88 staffs. Students were required to write several stories ranging from news writing, feature writ- ing and editorial writing as well as designing a layout. Yearbook students designed the 1988 yearbook theme. All the work done by students were judged and the most outstanding ones were choosen as winners. The following students received outstanding awards. In the beginning class, senior Danny Bry- ant received Outstanding Layout and Most Prom- ising Journalist, senior Matt Dworaczyk received Outstanding Feature Story, senior Carissa Hen- sley received Outstanding Editorial. In the In- termediate class, junior Cristina Moreno re- ceived Outstanding Feature. In the advanced class, senior Debbie Kaiser received Outstanding News Story, senior Krista Beavers and Kaiser also received Outstanding staff manual for the RED WING newspaper. Seniors Zina Bernard and Fred Duck, junior Dude Henderson and soph- omore Ruth Jehlen received Outstanding Theme Development. Senior Maggie Ellis received Out- standing Photography Portfolio. I learned a lot at camp about designing a newspaper and I thought it was a lot of fun to see other papers from across Texas, Kaiser said. Staff members stayed at the dormitories on the campus and walked to their classes each morn- ing. It was great getting to see what college life was really about. Even though no students from SMU were there we got to see what walking to our classes and sharing bathrooms would be like, Ellis said. Journalism attends a camp each summer that is generally a week long. It gives them a chance to break away from the summer boredom and meet other journalism students. Mini- f Pai jS ck down • punishments By Ruth Jehlen Since the beginning of time teenagers have been doing things that caused their parents anguish; take Cain and Able for example. Although they may not have been so drastic as to kill their own brother they none the less tend to land themselves in at least one mess and don ' t usually come out unscratched. I ' ve been grounded for doing something my parents thought was wrong even though it was really my own buisness, sophomore Jennifer Clark said. I ' ve been indefinitely grounded before because I went out with friends when I told my mom we were going to the movies. Needless to say I got caught! senior Ann Mikus said, laughing at the thought. Parents could be rough on their kids but they are usually justified in their actions. I ' ve never really received unjust punishment but sometimes they were a little harder than seemed fair, Mikus said. My parants can usually tell if I really did something but if they ' re not sure I just get lectured a little, fresh- man Angle Williams said. Although the punishments varied from being ground- ed up to three months, losing the car keys, or phone restriction the household rules were very similar. I have to let my parents know where I ' ll be and I ' m expected not to smoke or drink. , Clark said. Most kids felt their parents wre not too bad and agreed that on the whole the rules they had to follow were reasonable and breaking them usually earned the pun- ishment. Drinking in car banned by law By Ben Vallejo Can ' t drive with that beer in your hand. No, not because you might spill it, but the state of Texas introduced a new law on Sept. 1. The Open Container Law, prohibits motorists of Texas to drink al- cohol and operate a vehicle. A person doesn ' t get drunk while driving, they drink at home or at a bar, then get into the car and drive, senior Kerri Saunders said in response to the new law. Junior Scott Wilhite agreed that most people are already drunk when they get into the car. Most people aren ' t in the car long enough to get drunk, unless they are on a long trip, he said. Students in general believed the law would not solve the problem. Yes, I feel that there is a time and place to drink alcohol. Drinking and driving are too dangerous, one concerned student said. Most students agreed that drinking and driving are too dangerous. Although many students weren ' t in favor of the law, they realized the law was necessary. State vetos smoking on campus By Ben Vallejo The beginning of the year introduced two new laws, of which one was mandated by the state legislature. The first of the rules was a state law prohibiting the use of tobacco products on school campus or at any school activities. There were many mixed feelings over the new rule between the smokers and non- smokers. I think it (the smoking lawj is good because I don ' t like to breath in other peo- ple ' s mistakes, junior Jen- nifer Rowlan said. Threatened by the conse- quences of disciplinary ac- tion, the smoking student population would have to wait until after school to en- joy a cigarette. The second of the new rules was added to the current dress code. The rule prohibited the wearing of any shirt which promoted the use alcohol and or drugs. The students were no longer allowed to wear Co- rona Beach club shirts or ad- vertise the support of Spuds McKenzie the Budweiser dog on school campus. It ' s not the shirts; it ' s all peer pressure and family stress that promote these things (alcohol use), junior Polly Anna Whited said. The reasonning behind the passing of the new rules was the hope of a more pos- itive environment for stu- dents. vv:« A fJa out By Ruth Jehlen New program design aids in game plans By Debbie Kaiser Thanks to computer genius and a computer math project assign- ment, the athletic de- partment received a program that analyzed not only itself, but also opposing teams before a football game was played. It ' s a short way to make a game plan be- fore we play each op- ponent, Athletic Di- rector Ray Dowdy said. The program was de- signed by 1987 seniors Harley DeVilbiss and Chris Mellenbruch when a semester long project was assigned in Sam Creswell ' s com- puter math class. The program the ath- letic department ended up with was more complex than the orig- inal idea thought up by DeVilbiss and Mellen- bruch. After we looked at what Harley and Chris were doing, we figured we could get a lot more out of the program with a little more time and effort, Dowdy said. Coaches were able to enter every offensive play by the Cardinals and district teams and figure out what the team ' s tendancies were on the field. Before we had the program, we had to write out every play and figure out the tendancies, and that would take six to sev- en hours to do, Dow- dy said. Big class suffers By Michael Fettes The freshmen class outnumbered the senior class by nearly two to one. Yet, the freshmen were put through the usual routine of being called Fish and having to hide from ini- tiation-crazed upperclassmen. I don ' t think its fair, freshman Kyle How- ard said. Just because upper-classmen are older, they feel they can treat us anyway they want. Not only did they have to put up with pos- sible initation, but they had to get us ed to the high school campus, new teachers, and being split up from friends. It (high school) is not as fun. I don ' t get to see my friends as much, Tracy Smith said. One way to escape the regular routine of being initiated was not to tell anyone that you were a freshman. This didn ' t always work though. Sooner or later someone was bound to find out. For the plan to work, a freshman had to act more mature. This was often difficult for the average freshman, for he was still around his former mid-school friends; therefore, he still may act like a mid-schooler and or a freshman. There was one advantage of being inititated early on in the school year; if you ' ve been initated, the other upperclassmen will leave you alone. Fans cheer football team By Ruth Jehlen The attendance was up at foot- ball games. And the varsity team said they especially appreciated the effort people were making to come. When we saw all those people in the stands it gave us a lot of encouragement, junior Rick Ry- an said. To know that people were cheering for us made us all feel more like digging down inside ourselves and giving our best ef- fort, junior Kevin Dailey said. smiling. The teams felt like they were more supported now than they were before. Even when we lost a game, people still boosted us up and told us we did great and that made us feel like we really did our part so that we tried harder the next time, senior David Williams said. We ' re just glad you all were out there, senior quarterback Tim Walker said. Rising to their feet, the crowd encourages the players. Pholo By Slcfanie Merculief. ' Op.. Mini- ' ' r Renovations: Mid-school moved, high school expanded By Matt Dworaczyk A new year brought about many changes to the high school. Along with a new computer lab and new snack bar twice as big as the old one, the school also expanded into the mid-school. It ' s well deserved room that we ' ve been wait- ing for, Principal Joe Brown said. Students not only had to get use to new classes in the high school, but when the English de- partment and the science labs moved over there, students had to adapt to a totally new schedule of classes. I ' m glad we moved over there. I was really tired of those old, boring halls and a change was great, senior Gayla Banks said. Also added to list of renovations was the total overhaul of the snack bar. One of the Industrial Arts classrooms was used to expand the snack bar into twice the size it was last year. I was in and out monitoring during all three lunches (the first day it was opened) and it ap- peared to have beem running fairly smoothly, Brown said. Also added to the list of renova- tions was the addition of a new computer lab. The walls in room two and three were knocked out to provide more room for computer classes. I had a computer class in there and I thought it was so much nicer. I could really breathe in there unlike last year where you couldn ' t even move, senior Charles Salas said. The biggest addition to the year was the ex- tension of the high school into the mid-school. It was great not having to dodge those little kids anymore and not having to share the caf- eteria, junior Sean Peters said. The construction on the new junior high began in 1986. The junior high is now located on Pierce Lane and is twice the size of the old mid-school. Brown said the main reason a new junior high was built instead of new high school dealt mainly with money. It takes less money to build a junior high than a new high school, he said. In the years to come who knows what changes will take place. Possibly a new high school. For now though, most people are satisfied with the new changes. jtytrat By Mike Fettes Usine the computers in the ex- panded computer lab, seniors Brenda Ferro, Kathy Stevens, and Troy Brodgen appreciate the extra space.

Mini-Mag Closing 49 ' ; B .] M 50 V Clubs The Best of the Rest is a perfect term for the students and sponsors in organizations. With so many other things hke homework, jobs, and sports, it was hard to fit time in for clubs. People were getting more involved in clubs. This was shown in the Homecoming parade with more organizations par- ticipating in the parade than ever before. Clubs were more active in the inter-club council. The inter-club council was sponsored by the student council. It helped build better re- lations between different clubs. Students participated in mo ' -e state and district levels of their organizations. This help to build the school ' s reputation with other schools. Other ways that students showed their involvement was with the tons of candy sold. The most popular fundraiser for organziations was selling M Ms. Students made the extra effort, took the extra time ,and made a few sacrifices so the clubs would be the best they could be. This showed that people do care about what happens, and so they are the Best of the Rest . m r « ■rrganizatiom rganizatiom Divider • f Preparing for a Spanish Club meeting sophomore Mary Cuellar, junior Amy Reyna, and junior JoAnn Ruiz go over last minute details with teacher James Smith before starting.

Helpers Both the Student Counc il and the National Honor Society (NHS) were involved with im- proving the look and attitude of the school and the students. The members of NHS helped stu- dents by tutoring them in sub- jects they were having trouble with. I really enjoyed the tutorials because I like helping people with their hard subjects. I hope NHS continues doing this next year, senior Tina Adkins said. Along with sponsoring tutori- als, the NHS also participated in school fund raisers by selling carnations for Valentine ' s Day. The Student Council planned Homecoming activities, went trick or treating for canned goods, sponsored the Powder Puff football game, the Valen- tine ' s dance, and they sold cans of soda during lunch in the stu- dent store. For a community activity, we went from door to door col- lecting canned goods for Austin Area Food Bank. The commu- nity people liked what we did and commended us for our ef- forts, president Debbie Kaiser said. In order to retain member- ship in NHS, students had to have an overall average of at least 90. Student Council mem- bers were elected by their class. Council members and NHS stu- dents had to show good char- acter, leadership, and responsi- bility. Senior AJ. Foulois prepares sophomore Patt ' W ' hited to bob for apples.

Fel- lowship of Christian Athletes and Young Life introduced re- ligion to students in ways to ap- ply it to everyday life as a teenager in high school. FCA met every other Mon- day. Sometimes we would meet on Saturday nights. At those meetings we would play volley- ball and eat, but we also got lessons and read from the Bi- ble, senior Susan Cole said. We always opened and closed with a prayer. Neither club had restricted membership. More than ath- letes were allowed in FCA, and Young Life was open to eve- ryone. Young Life couldn ' t meet during school hours. We met in front of the school every Mon- day night and went to Crockett High to be with their students, sophomore Teri Ashley said. Young Life was an interna- tional organization, so the pro- gram also provided summer camps and trips for its mem- bers. Students went on retreats and the club journeyed to Breckenridge, Colorado in De- cember to ski. FCA members built a float to ride and display during the Homecoming Parade.

Journalism is much more than something to take as a fill- in course. Those who joined this co-curricular class soon found they had an important job to do. Producing a newspaper and a yearbook was no easy job. 1 was suprised at the amount of work that went into a year- book and it was a lot more dif- ficult than most people realized, but we all really learned to pull together as a team so that eve- ryone shar ed the responsibili- ties, senior Carey Click said. Newspaper was another part of the journalism department. For those who felt they had a flair for writing, newspaper was the perfect class to practice their skills. It could be taken as a zero-hour class as well as a reg- ular class. Working on the newspaper staff made you appreciate the paper more so that you worked harder to make your stories bet- ter. After all, it was your name that went on your work, soph- omore Teri Ashley said. The whole journalism depart- ment competed at differani competitions throughout the year. It entered newspapers, yearbooks, outstanding individ- ual stories, and photos. Showing a ne member the ropes, senior Debbie Kaiser giws over some correc- tions with freshman Natasha Jackson.

And each of these classes were complemented with clubs. Auto Mechanics was a block class that allowed students in- terested in auto mechanics as a trade to get some hands-on training. We learned how cars func- tion and how to make them run better, how to prevent certain problems, and how to correct those problems, Joe Rodriguez said. Even if the students who took Auto Mechanics never end up in the occupation of a mechan- ic, they still may benefit from the experience. Even if I don ' t get a job, I ' ll still be able to do jobs for my friends and maybe get paid, Lupe Ortiz said. ICT allowed students current- ly holding a job in a certain field of employment to to earn both money and credit by working their trade off-campus. Another popular vocational club was VOCT. Sponsor Don Howerton spent many hours helping students find jobs that met their particular needs. The clubs stayed busy by get- ting involved in school activ- ities such as the chili cook-off which the Auto Mechanics club to blue ribbon honors. 60 - - Organizing their next fund raiser, VOCr sponsor Don Howerton and sophomore Judy VIcMannis discuss the club ' s plans for spending the money earned.

The club dealt with trying to help people discover the many different areas that involve en- gineering so that they could de- cide if engineering was really a possibility for them. It also en- couraged minorities to enter in- to the field if they were inter- ested, but the club was not for minorities only. The club vis- ited several colleges. Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) was another beneficial club with several areas. Cosmotology and print shop were two of the differant sectors that came under VICA. These, as well as the others, taught a skill that benefited the person in life after high school.

S 1 S ' i SP l3 __s — «yi Strategy The Industrial Arts club was created for students interested in the field of technology. It ' s a club to promote technology. It gives you the skills you can use in the future to get a good job and make good mon- ey, senior Johnny Peralez said. The motto was learning to live in a technical world. The clubs main project was a year long preparation for contest. There were three steps in con- test: regional, state, national. At contest they entered research papers, building designs, floor- plans, aero dynamics projects and computer programs. Today in society computers make things a lot easier and that is where technology is going, senior Steve Sagerty said. The club went to contest by HtedUijili ' ' having fundraisers including a car wash and selling of wood- works. Students who are interested in working with their mind, but don ' t want to put their ideas on paper or wood join the chess club. Del Valle is one of the few schools in the area to have a chess club. The game of chess club goes back centuries . It was an ancient war game. The chess club met once a week to play chess and to learn new skills and to develop their strategic moves. The main purpose was to compete with one another ' s mental powers senior Mark Kanady said. The diess club is a group of students getting together to play a game of war.

But the hours of dedication paid off with good ratings at contest. The work was incredibly hard sometimes, but I ' m really glad I stuck with it because when it was time for us to go out on the field or into contest it really gave me a good feeling to know that we were able to hon- estly say we did our best, soph- omore Nicole White said. Being in band meant more than just learning how to play an instrument. It took dedica- tion and the willingness to put in extra hours . A band member had to practice at home each night to learn the music. They had to compete for positions in their sections and officers were depended on to keep things run- ning smoothly for the rest of the band. I ' m the librarian and its my job to make sure all the music is filed in the right places, and if anyone needs a copy of some- thing then I take care of it, sophomore Jennifer Clark said. Pulling together meant good results for band memb ers. Sometimes the days seemed like they would never end and often when the members went home every muscle in their body was sore.

Texas Association of Future Educators (TAPE) had the larg- est chapter in the state. With approximately 45 members, the club gained practical teaching experience at the elementary schools, volunteered assistance at the Capital Area Pood Bank, and raised money to attend lo- cal workshops and conventions. Popham Elementary allowed TAPE members to teach in the classroom for two days. This was the first year we were allowed to actually teach in the class, senior Kerri Saunders said. Because the chapter was given the opportunity to teach in the classroom, organizers of the state TAPE convention asked the the club to conduct a sem- inar which was entitled You ' re the Teacher . Students Opposed to Drug Abuse (SODA) spent the year encouraging students to stay in school and out of drugs. Besides hanging drug abuse preventa- tive posters in halls, the club sponsored Drug Awareness Week in December. Service clubs and organiza- tions in the school interacted with SODA to fight drug abuse. All the clubs contributed flyers, posters, or skits.

Besides rodeos, the members of the club also sold candy to raise money for an annual trip, usually to Six Flags or Astro World. They were very ac- tive in inter-club activities. They spoke out against drug abuse vshen the S.O.D.A. club had their -drug awareness week, and they spiced it up when the home economic classes had the once a year chili cook-off. 1 enjoyed working with the other clubs and the things we did were fun. It was a lot of hard work but it alwa s ended up payingoff junior Jeff Coo- per said. The rodeo club also interacted with the Future Farmers of .America (FF.A) because the things that they worked with were similar. Both clubs dealt with animals and were closely related. Even though the FF.A members com- peted indiNidually with their animals, they found the help of the rodeo club members to be beneficial. The club promoted leadership and responsibility through competition. They also learned techniques of breeding animals and effective meth- ods of planting in the soil. We just don ' t learn about sows, cows and plows.

FHA HERO is an organization that showed just what giving a little time and consideration to others could bring . The organization was filled with projects that dealt in volunteering a helping hand when needed, and they made a special effort to break the mo- notony of everyday routines for students. By making it their goal to bring others enjoyment they, in turn, received a certain amount of pleasure. I wasn ' t rea lly sure that I wanted to join FH.A HERO at first, but I did and I ' m glad. We have done a lot of fun things like the Chili Cook-Off, and selling Valentine ' s Day cake. Doing things that make other people happy gives you a good feelmg inside that makes all the work worthwhile, freshman Monique Isak said. The group taught it ' s mem- bers that in order to receive you must first give. Members also learned responsibility to the club and leadership abilities were also greatly encouraged. I learned that to get anything done you have to first be willing to work together so that what is planned will get finished. sophomore Tracey Lewis said. FHA HERO was an impor- tant part of the school. It was able to bring to the students small pleasures that brightened their day and it showed others that community service was an important part of life on cam- pus as well as off.

Talents Choir can be a challenging elec- tive to take. It is work and it ' s a big decision to choose which choir to participate in. The choice is be- tween concert choir, treble choir and mixed choir. The concert choir consisted of both male and females. They gave performances for the school at Open House and went caroling at local malls, schools, businesses and other places. They also went to con- test in March. Being in the choir gave me a chance to improve my voice and feel more confident about my sing- ing. I liked working with everyone and going to contest let us show off our ability to sing, freshman Ur- sula Henderson said. The treble choir consisted of fe- males only. They too gave perfor- mances for the school and caroled at the mall. This group also went to contest. I like singing with only the girls because I feel that when you are singing in a high pitch that ' s all that is needed, freshman Kriste Hodges said. The mixed choir also consisted of both male and females but they didn ' t go to contest. This group per- formed for the school at Open House and also at one of the pep rallies. They sang and danced on many occasions and they learned how to choreograph dance steps with certain types of music.

Pholo R John Merrulief S p o Sports took on various meanings whether it was strategy, success, compromise, or defeat. Whether they won or they lost sports participants forced people to take a closer look behind the lines and redefine their terms. Players drilled in strenous hours of practice in efforts to increase their talents as a team and improve their skills. Football held two-a-days during the summer, hoping to im- prove teamwork. Two-a- days consisted of two three hour periods in which players spent their time practicing and running punt and kick-off drills. Other sports such as basketball and track spent most of their time running to practice for the upcoming season. Granted that some games were won and others were lost, the athletic department improved in strength and skill. The quality of the football games improved which showed es- pecially through the Pflugerville game which we won by a score of 25 to 2 1 , tight end senior Lance Osborne said. Public and school support increased rapidly with record breaking numbers of community members and student body attending the games to increase spirit. Performance of the teams aroused curosity and compelled people to notice what the teams were really made of Section Designed By Fred Duck V 83 Family spirit keeps team trying for best One big family, that was the way the varsity football team felt toward one another on and off the field. The part of varsity foot- ball that most people never realize is the way we became family. For the past three years I have had two families; one at home and one in the locker room, senior Carl Quick said. As in every family there is a head of the family and coach Ray Dowdy fulfilled that roll well. I feel that coach Dowdy ' s efforts have succeeded as far as teaching the team respect for the coaches, as well as one another, junior Rick Ryan said. The players felt that they had a strong chance at dis- trict competition. I felt that we had a chance, but our size hurt us in the end, junior David Gattis said. For the younger members of the team playing with the upperclassmen taught them what to expect in the future. Playing on varsity was a learning experience for me. I ' ll know what to expect in my junior and senior year, sophomore Tim Rector said. Although there were mixed emotions during a game that never altered the perfor- mance of the players. They always gave 1 00%. Looking at the marker, senior Tim Walker checks to see if he made the first down.

The only thing to do in such a situation is to make the best of what you ' ve got, and that ' s exactly what these guys did. Injuries were a problem and not only their own, they also were effected when a varsity team member was hurt because the replace- ments were made with the best players of the JV squad. This made the aftermath of injury twice as hard, the coachs not only had to make replacements but also had to make new game plans to meet the ability of the avail- able players. As the season rolled on, an awesome defense emerged which caused constant trou- bles for its opponents. The defensive plan was to be as aggressive as possible. When on the field during a game they would keep a constant pressure applied to the of- fense, making scoring possib- lities difficult. Our defense is so persis- tent that in Belton we caused both the starting and back-up quarterback to be taken out, sophomore Lawrence Massey said.

The offense was not as big as most but compensated with good plays that used more brain than braun. They also made the most of their size by having powerful gaurds to make the time needed to make the plays. We have the smallest line in our district but we did a lot better than most people thought we could, freshman Jim Ostrander said. The team made up for not having a big offense by mak- ing their defense tougher. They held teams from mak- ing key plays which could have resulted in pionts. Their ability to hold teams also had a rallying effect on the of- fense, raising spirits at the right time. We play against a lot of good teams who outweight us but don,t outplay us. They may have the size but it takes a lot of heart to play, fresh- man Mike Peterman said. With a whole year to brush up any rough spots the the freshman team looked prom- ising for a next year season. We got next year to look foward to and a long time to workout before it gets here. A little work on our running plays should help, freshman Bobby Maxa said. 7 ' ' ■ ' C The secondary support each other with pats and words which let team- mates know when they have done a great job.

They had tour- nament wins and beat good teams. The team was also proud of bringing home a couple of trophies. We ' ve done well as a team, coach Chet Cook said at the end of the season.

This friendship has helped them grow and be more com- fortable in a competitive at- mosphere. Many players en- joyed the challenges of athletics. The Varsity team took pride in meeting the challenges of the opponents. A running strategy was used to push the Cardinal offense through the season and it was not an easy road to travel.

Both teams played extremely well and credit their victories to the quality of the coaching staff and the de- termination of the players. Coach Olison is a good coach and wants you to do things the right way, Freshman Ricky Richardson said. He makes us play hard by asking ' Are you worthy of being undefeated? ' Coach tells us to ' Push it real hard ' meaning to move the ball up the court and that makes us play harder, Freshman Ali Bell said. Sometimes he ' s too hard but it ' s for a good purpose. The team relied on a good fast break, excellent rebounding, and the 3-point shot to win basket- ball games. We counted on Willie Combread Mayes to score 3- pointers when no one else could score on the inside, Bell said. The freshman basketball team proved that with hard work and determination they could turn a shaky beginning into a great sea- son. The J.V. team had their share of success throughout the year. They owe it to their ability to play well together, team mem- bers agreed. I had a great group of ath- letes move up from the freshman team. All of them have been playing ball together since they were old enough to dribble, Coach Rusty Wallace said. They also relied on their suc- cess in rebounding and a strong defense to win games. I stressed that to win we had to dominate the scoreboard and move the ball up the court, Wallace said. He also added an extra incen- tive to motivate his team to play well. I told them that if they won district then I would get my hair shaved as short as theirs, Wallace said.

Early in the season the JV team was plagued by injuries and was cut down to six members. They didn ' t let that keep them down, instead they worked hard to make the season something worth re- membering. ■ ' I saw dedication and teamwork in them, JV coach, Susan Nielson, said. The freshman team also had to work hard, but have come far since the beginning of the season. They worked well togeth- er as a team and were fast learners, freshman coach Karen Radicke said. The team members were also proud of the way they performed, on and off the court. In order to win, we had to get along together, sopho- more Nicole Bullard said. It was also important for them to be able to learn from each other and take their team members advice. We got along well because we were all friends and we were able to take constructive criticism from one another without getting upset, fresh- man Natasha Jackson said.

De- termination along with team- work were two prominent factors in the way the games were played. Most of us have been playing ball with each other since elementary school. We ' ve been on the same teams during school and the summer leagues. Knowing the way each other plays has helped a lot and was one of our strongest points, senior Abe Vanderberry said. Since most of the team consisted of seniors, next year ' s team will be moving up junior varsity players. Seniors and three juniors made up the team. It was usually the seniors who got to play, but they de- served it, pitcher Bryan Lambert said. Everyone was pretty evenly matched, but we had the best playing. Plenty of time was spent practicing to prepare for the competition. About three to four hours a day was spent on the field. We had stations to go through to warm us up and to improve our playing tech- niques. Running was the worst part, Lambert said.

It took dedication in order for them to come close to this goal, but they seemed to have the ability to get what they strived for. We had a good team to work with and I think that it had a lot to do with the way we played. If we keep up the hard work then I think that we could win district, soph- omore Daniel Calderon said. After report cards came out there were those unlucky few who could not continue to play on the team, but this did not hurt the morale of the team. They continued to im- prove with the players who were still on the team. The first six weeks inel- igibility hurt our team. We lost some of our best players. After that we knew that we had our work cut out for us if we wanted to succeed, jun- ior Chris Cruz said. Even though the team had troubles they never quit. They kept going and doing their best. The coaches kept pushing us and telling us not to quit just because a few guys were gone, freshmen Lee Gutier- rez said. Overall the season taught the players unity and determinination. And it was no secret that they were al- ways a team to contend with. .Sending the ball to first base to get a Johnson Ram player, out sophomore Danny Rodriquez hopes to end the inning with his play.

The next few weeks, espe- cially at Taylor, were trying and left the young team un- sure of what to expect in the season to come. The team had no problems in the jumping events or dis- tance, but the relay events proved to be the obstacle which slowed the team. The team carried on high hopes of living up to the past record of going to the regional final. The team pulled together for the Cardinal Relays and gave the home crowd a good show- ing. Winning was the final re- ward, but behind the scenes were strong bonds of friend- ship which held the team to- gether through trying times. You just didn ' t join track to become an instant success. I realized that it was because of my friendship with other track members that helped me to become a better run- ner, junior Jimmy Ar- rendondo said.

Even though everyone com- peted separately it was al- ways for the same team, sophomore LceAnna Machen said. The junior varsity girls were moved up to the varsity team to work as one team. Those girls had to work harder because the girls they competed against were older and more experienced.

Even the more experienced girls admitted that being a member of the track team meant work. Running track is a hard sport to do because it is a lot of hard work and you just can ' t give up like you some- times would like to do. In my opinion it never mattered how rough it sometimes got 1 always stuck to it and did well.

Track wasn ' t easy though, even for those who were good. The afternoon prac- tices fatigued the body until running seemed impossible. No matter how many times giving up seemed like the best thing to do, nothing could take away from the pride of winning. Track is hard but I really enjoy it. It ' s a really good thing to join because it offers you a lot of different choices in events so it gives you a chance to develop skills in several categories, freshman Solomon Bedford said.

The tennis team sponsored a faculty chal- lenge, a SODA tennis match, and a family participation day in addition to its regular tournaments. Besides having fun, it gave us a chance to get better acquainted with the teach- ers, junior Jennifer Johnson said. A SODA club event held after school was organized by Dorothy Selfridge and tennis coach Helen Johnson. It was amusing just out there playing. Coach Carpen- ter hit me with the ball, freshman Lx)raine Salas said. Tennis members practiced all year round. During fall tennis, matches and tourna- ments were won through team effort.

In individual tennis I can advance at my own pace, and I also prefer the nice warm weather, sophomore Marisa Foradori said. Besides after school prac- tice from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., tennis members strived to improve their skills with oth- er exercises.

In golf, players concentrated on get- ting a little ball in the hole. Cross country runners pushed to the limit for the best time. But, one thing was the same in both sports — participants had to enjoy what they were doing. The cross country runners worked together as a team. In the end this paid off. They went on to compete at the national regionals meet in November as well as going to state competition. This was the best cross country season as far as the team was concerned, coach Andre Van Geem said.

I ' m just grateful I was able to go to regionals twice and na- tional regionals, captain Ed- die Costilla said. Golf is another team sport. And the team was small, but they made up for it in de- termination. Golf is a very challenging and relaxing game. It is very enjoyable to play but can be very frustrating sometimes.

' District Games 114 V Varsity Volleyball Spoils Varsity gains helpful skills despite losses Despite the 9-23 season record, the Varsity volleyball team did well because they played against stiffer compe- tition than in past years, coach Cindy Gee said. The team played mostly against 4A and 5A schools in- stead of the 2A and 3A schools. Taylor, Pflugerville, and Bastrop were our toughest opponents. They had strong hitters and servers, but we were ready for them, senior Lynette Whitley said. Playing the 5A schools helped to prepare the team for District tournaments be- cause they played against 4A schools, senior Roni Her- nandez said. There was not a lot of Var- sity experience on the team, but the girls had a willingness and desire to work hard and win. Gee said. We lacked on the court because we had a lot of young and new players that had not played Varsity volleyball be- fore, Hernandez said. Seniors faced the season as it being the last year of their high school volleyball career. I ' ve had a good career in volleyball and I ' ve enjoyed it a lot. Coach Gee really helped me meet my goals, Whitley said. Spirit on the court had a lot to do with girls ' performance while in a game. The team ' s strength this year was spirit on the court and our ability to work to- gether. Paula Houston has contributed the most to the team because of her spirit, Hernandez said. With 1 2 and a half hours of practice each week, some- times the routine got old, but all the practicing had a pur- pose. Lifting weights was the worst part of practice because it was tiring and boring, but it payed off because it helped our spiking which improved our game more, Hernandez said. •IftP. nr -. ivafl Oetting g L, , jK ♦ nior Ch .v-v ' %fP, withe; Getting the points for the team, se- Christine Sellers spikes the ball ase and grace.

The girls had a natural ability when playing volley- ball, JV coach Susan Niel- son said. They were enthu- siastic and had a lot of potential. The JV team chose Penny Ebbs as the most valuable player for the year. Penny was valuable be- cause she was a hard worker. As a setter she had to work hard and that always helped everyone else out. She did her job, sophomore Barbara Bennett said. JV could pull together to help each other out, but often a lack of communication struck the team causing a large weakness. During a game we would stop talking on the court and then we would start arguing over something that wasn ' t necessary, said sophomore Evelyn Herron. Spiking and serving was the strategy of the freshman team because they were hard and strong, but calling the ball was our biggest problem because everyone wanted to hit. It was taking time to get three hits since no one was calling, Judy Lynch said. Returning the ball over the net. sophomore Barbara Bennett spikes the ball.

All of the girls have been cheering since their freshman year, many of them since pep squad at the middle school. I love cheering and making other people happy.

Academics play the biggest part in life. No matter what one plans to do in the future, he must have a good foundation to stand on. There were many new classes offered for students to choose from. The Junior Honors English and History classes were combined into a Humanities course. This gave the student more opportunities to go in more detail in their study. There was also an advanced Texas History class for students to explore Texas in more depth. To give students more of a challange there was a new honors Algebra class. These changes gave students a better selection of courses. There was a lot of new equipment to make the classes the best they could be. The Industrial Arts classes got new draft- ing tables. The new Pascal class got new more powerful computers which the the journalism department also used in putting out the Newspaper and Yearbook. There also were renovations done to the computer lab to make it bigger to hold more computers and students. Education is not something to take lightly. Students learned the Secret to Success through hard work and determi- nation. Taking a moment to think junior Re- becca Chambers tries to figure out her history.

P.E. class is based on teaching students a variety of diffrent sports and many ways to get in shape and stay in shape. It breaks the three six weeks of a semester up in to three dif- frent learning periods. Each period the classes are taught the basics and rules of the particular sport or game which is being fo- cused on. They also get a chance to be a part of the games and play most every day to become better. At the end of the six weeks a test to both evaluate skills and knowledge of the par- ticular subject are given to see if the students have learned and improved the skills of each game. Then the cycle begins again with a new six weeks and a new game. Not only does it give the students the op- portunity to learn new sports it also gives the chance to improve their state of health. 1 like the class because we are always doing some- thing and it never seems to be boring, said junior Yvonne Garza. The are many reasons for taking P.E. and one of the most popular is to get away from the books and teachers. Having an hour to take it easy and getting a much needed opportunity to stretch and get blood flowing sometimes makes the difference between having a bad day and hav- ing a great day. The class gives you a break from all the brain- stress and lets you use your body, said freshman Marty Saucedo. Also a large part of the class is learning to be part of a team. The students learn to cooperate to over- come their goals. Many of the sports learned in the class are team sports and require the students to be part of the team, such as basketball and softball. Be- ing part of a team is a re- quired in the everyday-life of most people and is a valuable lesson to learn.

I Layout by Benjamin Vallejo V 125 CiiRTTTT ix3TRTn Hard work brings rewards High school art classes are often thought of as many different things such as fun, interesting and a time to be creative. They are not often thought of as competitive. But if a stu- dent does an exceptional job or if the work has a unique quality about it, it might have a chance to be entered in the Scholastic Art Awards. The Scholastic Art Awards is sponsored by the University of Texas and is held in San Anto- nio. All high schools in the area surrounding Austin and San Antonio are eli- gible. The art projects may be entered for a variety of reasons such as extremely graphic detail, unusual de- signs, and basic simplicity. The entries range from some done in minutes to others that take weeks. But the consistent artist usual- ly do better. The wider the variety, the better chance of having a winner, that is because no teacher can accurately say what will appeal to the judge; therefore, it is best to send a sample of ea ch field of art rather than sending lots of entries that just deal with one subject. The projects that have a unique aire about them stand a better chance of being noticed by the judge. When the judges are trying to choose a winner, they ' re so picky and look for the smallest errors, like stray pencil marks and smeared paint. You have to do your absolute best and hope it will be enough to gain recognition, se- nior Tina Adkins said. The entries to the con- test are are limited to about thrity students and to have an art piece chosen to compete is an honor.

Secret to Success is Having an imagination and being self- confident enough to use it. — Kathy Farris Layout by Benjamin Vallejo V 127 History joins English f A new course called Hu- manities added a bit of a twist to both history and English class for a group of juniors in honors English. Now, instead of one hour of each class, it provided a two-hour course which combined the two sub- jects. The thought of a two-hour class of both his- tory and English may come to mind as unbear- able for most students, but the students involved were positive about the course and genuinely seemed to enjoy it. The class was a lot of fun but also a lot of work. We had to read quite a bit and not just what was on the surface but between the lines. junior Karen Allen said. To make the class more fun, special activities were done regularly. Often the two-hour period would start with class discussions of worldwide events which affected the lives of all in- volved. Also, weekly cur- rent events were required. The current event was a written explanation of an event from a magazine ar- ticle. Small skits were also done throughout the se- mester. In addition, the class did things like dressing up as Indians and early settlers and parading around the lunchroom, and they did a reenactment of a speech given by President Lincoln which included questions from the press. All these things were extras which made Humanities a bit diffrent and a little more fun. The class was good be- cause we learned the his- torical background on a lot of great American litera- ture that other Engish classes didn ' t bother to teach, said junior Marivel Hernandez. The serious side of the two hour class consisted of the students learning com- position and test skills. Al- so a major part of the class was the importance of ex- pressing one ' s thoughts clearly. Most teachers ask for an answer they want to hear, but teachers Gwen Bonner and Monica Shaw stressed the importance of expressing one ' s own thoughts.

They were involved in co- curricular activities deal- ing with important issues both in school and out. On Thursday, Nov. 5, the Family Living class put on a mock wedding which was viewed by many. Students who had personal invitations by the wedding party were al- lowed to go during the ac- tivity period. The mock wedding was put on to show what goes into the planning of a real one and the responsibilities that go with it. I thought the wedding was very interesting, it was just like a real one and in some cases even better, freshmen Ursula Hender- son said. Bride and Bridegroom were and Tracey Simpson and A.J. Foulois of Chris Hintch ' s Family Living class. Being married to A.J. for a day was great. We had a lot of fun acting mar- ried and I thought the wedding was pretty realis- tic, senior Tracey Simp- son said. For most people the thought of having to go to court is a nightmare. Even so, a few students prac- ticed for months for a chance to be in a court- room. These students were the students who compet- ed in the Mock Trial com- petition. The Mock Trial Compe- tition is held every year and is sponsored by the Texas Young Lawyers ' As- sociation. The purpose of the Mock Trial Competition was to allow students a chance to see how the ju- dicial system works from the inside out, sponsor Ricky Vickers said. Some of the students were in Mock Trial be- cause it was fun, while for others, it was a chance to be a lawyer. I am practicing for my future career as a lawyer, junior Victoria Marshall said. Other students were in Mock Trial because it al- lowed them a chance to improve their speech abil- ities.

The purpose of the PSAT was to train juniors for the SAT which is taken by many students for col- lege entrance. It also gave them a chance to become eligible for a National Merit Scholarship. It ' s good experience to take the PSAT. It prepares us for the SAT, but I wish we did not have to take the PSAT or the SAT, junior When is the fun going to start? senior Jennifer Plant thinks as she participates in a class discus- sion. Photo by Maggie Ellis Hazel Davidson said. Despite the fact it meant calling it an early Friday night and being alert and awake at 8 a.m. on Sat- urday, most test takers consider the SAT a wise test to take. However, the juniors taking the PSAT were not as lucky. Test takers took the test during regular school hours with bells ringing, classes changing, and concentration broken. The changing of the bells interrupts my train of thought, ril be thinking about how to solve a math problem when all of a sud- den I ' ll hear the bell ring and thousands of people going through the halls, junior Danielle Cockrell said. Something new this year, was a SAT prep course, offered to anyone interested in raising their previous scores or just get- ting a few pointers for their first time taking the test. The SAT reviews helped a lot. I could un- derstand the questions asked and how to get the answer. The short cuts they showed us really helped a lot. I think it helped me make a better score on the test than I would have made, senior Brenda Farrel said. The preparation course was started by senior counselor Vivienne Lepine and was taught in the eve- nings by Terry McDonald. Students enrolled in the course did not receive any credit. They also paid for the course. Senior Kim Rhodes studies during the practice SAT.

Without excuses everyone would have got- ten into some serious trou- ble at one time or another. Face it, excuses are a way of life. Regardless of whether excuses were used for not coming to school, or not doing your homework, ex- cuses were common. I only used excuses to get out of things like not doing my homework, and the only time I didn ' t do my homework was when I forgot to do it, freshman Bobby Maxa said. The favorite excuse for everyone was I left it at home . Surprisingly enough though, teachers often fell for it. Other ex- cuses were I forgot my book , My little sister ate it or even worse The dog ate it . If a student uses the last one, they either have a wolf as a pet dog or they ' re dog has serious eat- ing disorder. Usually teachers didn ' t believe this one, so it was best not to use it. Homework was some- thing I tried to finish at school, but if I didn ' t and I didn ' t finish it at home, then I used an excuse like I lost it or something, sophomore Mickey John- son said. Even more creative ex- cuses were used when stu- dents were trying to get back into school. Face it every now and then, stu- dents fake the inevitable stomach ache to stay home and watch afternoon soap operas. Sometimes it ' s hard to make it to school just be- cause you don ' t want to go. Usually, I don ' t do that but if I did I ' d get my mom to write me a note, fresh- man Jason English said. As the years go by, peo- ple will start to think up even more creative ex- cuses. Times change as well as students and their secrets. Laughing on the phone, nurse Barbara Daniel convinces a stu- dent that she really isn ' t sick enoDgh to go home. Many stu- dents made excuses to visit the nurse ' s ofTice to get out of a test they forgot to study for. 134 V Excuses Academics Looking innocent, sophomore Ryan Hutchinson listens to at- tendance clerk Ann Stevenson as she warns him about the amount of abscences students are allowed ler year.

The honors classes I take are rewarding for the pos- sibility of scholarships and for future college refer- ences, said junior Trina Holweger. The students who had more on the line than just self satisfaction were those involved in extra- curricular activity. The students who played foot- ball, baseball, or those stu- dents that were involved in drama or band had dif- ferent opinions on the honors classes. The classes put a great deal of pressure on them to stay eligible for the activities they were in- volved with. The thought of not participating in sports or drama came to some as a major ordeal. Calculus puts a lot of pressure on me because if I get a low grade I can ' t be in any plays till I bring up the grade, senior Matt Dworaczyk said.

The teacher was not there to aid the students along, but that would not stop them from doing the best that they could. I preferred studying at home because there was a less likely chance that I ' d get interrupted and then 1 could complete it. Even though I don ' t have a teacher there to help me out I could have peace and quiet, senior Shane Tur- ner said. Parents too played an important role in studying. Even though they didn ' t do the actual work, they were there to make sure it all got done and usually the consequences could be pretty severe and it en- couraged the student to hurry up and get it over with and get through. My parents made sure that I did all my work be- cause they wouldn ' t let mc go anywhere until it was all done. I liked their in- volvement with it because that way I felt like they really cared about what I did and anyway I did get it done, senior Abe Vanderberry said. Studying is something that was not all that fun and it stood in the way of freetime at night, but it ' s something all had to do and live with. Each stu- dent had his own secret to success, but most agreed that it was always impor- tant to get the work done.

I feh that I was ready for graduation but it left a funny and scared feeling down inside. I knew that I ' d miss every one of my friends and teachers after- wards, but I still looked forward to it, senior Rob- ert Burnett said. Making the plans for af- ter high school was often the biggest stumbling block seniors had to face. Deciding between which college to go to or what field to study under was the first step to their fu- ture. If the choice was al- ready made, then making plans was that much eas- ier. They had no hassles or worries as to making up their minds for those plans. I decided a long time ago that I was going to be a teacher because the way children think will deter- mine our future and if I could get them on the right track, then I will have served a good purpose. Be- sides, knowing that I could enhance and develop chil- drens ' minds in a positive way gives me a good feel- ing about myself, senior Debbie Alberthal said. If no plans had been made for after high school then the going was prob- ably a lot rougher than those who had already made up their minds. Not only were they weighted down with regular class work, but there was the mind boggling problem of choosing the right place to go. Somewhere in between trying to juggle a school and social life the decision had to be made. This was a hard thing to try to do be- cause this was not a de- cision that could be made over night or in the min- utes between classes. They had to keep in mind that this was something that with whatever they decid- ed they were going to have to live with that decision for the rest of their lives. Trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life put a strain on me, espe- cially as the time grew closer. It put a lot of pres- sure on me since my de- cision was one that will af- fect the rest of my life and the thought of knowing everyone expected an an- swer drove me crazy, se- nior Tracey Simpson said. This decision faces all seniors eventually and it seemed that when it was thought out beforehand, the year went a lot smooth- er and a lot of problems did not have to be worried about at the last minute.

Cliff notes came in handy when many stu- dents had difficulty under- standing the book they were to be tested over. I don ' t use Cliff notes that much, but they are very helpful when you ha- ven ' t read a book, fresh- man David Kocen said. Also I think teachers should encourage the use of Cliff notes because they help students understand general topics of the sto- ries. Many people used Cliff notes to help them under- stand the main idea of the stories they were reading. Cliff notes help you with the main idea of the stories you are reading, and if the student doesn ' t really understand what he is reading the teacher shouldn ' t really care if the student is using Cliff notes, sophomore Cisco Chapa said. Other students simply believed that Cliff notes were an excellent study guide. Cliff notes are good study guides to have with kind any reading, soph- omore Charles Lwem said. In addition, many found the notes a good summary of what they were sup- posed to understand. Cliff notes are good to have when you need to summarize any section of the book that you are hav- ing problems with, junior Scotty Ozmun said. Some students, howev- er, did not think using Cliff notes was such a great idea. The idea of using them is wrong. If I ' m going to read a book I ' ll read it on my own. I ' m not going to use something that has the possibility of failing or passing me, Ozmun said. Perhaps some students did pass their English classes because of Cliff notes, but others survived the class without making the big purchase.

Juniors won both the spirit stick and the trophy. Spirit week competition consisted of a hall decorating contest, class cheers, and the individual class yells. Seniors faced new demands while concentrating on SAT scores and considering colleges. Juniors also dealt with SAT scores and concentrated on the TEAMS testing. Sophomores adjusted to the change of not being freshmen anymore and freshmen experienced the ups and downs of high school life.

In order to get a letter jacket you must have completed a certain amount of work and put in a certain amount of effort in a particular extra-curricular activity. Each extra- curricular activity has its own requirements, but it is really up to the individual to determine how hard he works to receive a jacket. Jackets are usually received as a senior. This is, of course, no doubt that seniors are among the ones who deserve them the most. I like my jacket. It took me four years to get this jacket.

With junior Marc Zaijack observing, senior class sponsor .Annette Palmer explains some aspects of the Constitution ' s amendments to senior Trini Delagado while working outside to enjoy the warm sunny weather. I believe it is very significant for a young adult to learn about the governmental system. Since they will participate in the government by voting when they turn 1 8. it is important to have substantial knowledge of the political system, Delagado said.

When one turns 18, by common law, one is con- sidered an adult. As an adult you are allowed voting rights in governmental elections and young men are required to sign up for the draft. In other words, when you come of age, you are hit by that big word responsibility which makes one liable for his own actions. After his 1 8th birthday senior Peter Wyndham lifts a register to vote form from it ' s box in order to participate in the Texas elections held in November. The elections concerned the lo- cation of the Austin airport and the question of legal pari-mutal betting.

Seniors had an option of buying senior t-shirts, senior pictures, senior cards, and par- ticipating in the senior class trip. They also had to consider the cost of graduation such as invitations and cap and gowns. Although this may not seem like a lot, eventually the bill added up and it could wind up being very expensive. Senior Christine Delacruz orders pictures while senior activity teacher Priscilla Lennon laughs at one of her funny jokes. If you don ' t keep track of how much you are spending, your senior year can vary from being moderately priced to sky rocket high, senior Christine Delacruz said. Phoio bj Maggie emu.

Overall, the t-shirt sale went smoothly and the results were very profitable. Most of the money collected will go towards the cost of the senior class trip, Berdoll said.

With the delaying of the class officer elec- tions due to the lack of a class sponsor, some thought the jun- iors were going to go nowhere. But they turned that around at Homecoming. The junior year is important because it represents the jun- ior senior prom as well as the dreaded term papers. Proms mean great amount of money and great amount of manpower to pull ofT which is just what the junior class faced. After many weeks of no volunteers for spon- sor, one finally came through, Sa- rah Shoemake. With the an- nouncement of position, the junior class began preparation for Homecoming. Once Ms. Shoemake decided to be our sponsor, we really start- ed to get our stuff together. We started making signs for Home- coming and everything, but we couldn ' t do that until we got a sponsor, president Sherrie Coleman said. During Homecoming, the juniors showed more spirit than anyone. They won the hall decorarting, the class yell and the spirit song. They ended the victorious week by winning the overall Homecoming week. We were so excited when we won. The seniors always win Homecoming and we showed them, Coleman said. Throughout the rest of the year, the juniors sold candy to raise money for the prom. The junior class officers in- cluded Coleman, president; Jen- nifer Johnson, vice-president; Cissy Lewis, secretary; and Cookie Adkins, treasurer.

Photo b Steve McCandless Hours of research pays off with term paper grade There came a time in the Hfe of every junior when the subject of term pa- pers was brought up. This term paper was no ordinary writing as- signment due at the end of the week. The juniors were given seven weeks to collect information out of every source possible, put it all together, and write it all down. I did mine on Central Amer- ican Conflict and I picked it out of a list of fifty-five topics, jun- ior Sherry Sanchez said. Once the topic was chosen the work really began in earnest. There were trips to the library for notes, organizing the informa- tion, and staying up late to type it all up. It was really hard getting Making sure that his information is cor- rect, junior Vance Foradory diligently works on his upcoming term paper.

I would stay up really late towards the end, writing and re- writing that paper until some- times I would just fall asleep over it, Sanchez said. Even though the paper was important, students still had to complete work being given out in other classes. Sometimes I really had a lot of work to get done and then, when it was finally through, I still had to sit down and work on my paper, junior Veronica Tamayo said. The work was difficult, but most finished in time and came out with a well-written paper.

They are the ones who take their time to work hard at something they are good at and accomplish many things. Rebecca Chambers and Cissy Lewis are two of these people. Cissy Lewis spends her spare time in front of a camera modeling. She started at a very young age when she and a friend were watching a fashion show. I like knowing that when I ' m in front of a camera I ' m at the center of attention. Smiling in front of a camera makes me feel like I have a lot to offer to eve- ryone who sees my pictures, Lewis said. Chambers ' interest lie in an- other direction. She caught her audiences eyes through dancing. She ' s been dancing since she was 10 and she loved all the results. She won trophies in talent shows and did solo ' s in dance re- citals. She even went to Del Rio for a presentation, but her big moment came when she was se- lected to dance in the 1987 Alo- ha Bowl in Hawaii. I got sick of going to the stu- dio everyday and then having the feeling I got nothing accom- plished, but in the long run all the heartbreak and hard work paid off, Chambers said. Chambers wants to dance pro- fessionally . Both girls have high hopes and ambitions to one day be successful at the things they like to do, and with effort and hard work they hope these goals can be reached.

Working together the officers, along with the sophomore class, helped to make activities the best possible. 168 V Sophomores Wayne Bourland Bobby Boyd Shawn Bradford Jack Bradshaw Carl Brown Frank Brown Iris Bullard Arlene Bunce Deana Burke Veronica Burrell Jack Bullcr Latoya Butler Lisa Butler Scott Cadwalder Joseph Calderon Jodi Caldwell Bubba Calhoun Jenny Campbell Missy Campos Tim Cantrell Stella Carrillo Chris Carson Denise Castillo Francisco Chapa Omar Chavez Kwan Hyun Cho Jennifer Clark Rani Collins Virgil Collins Valentine Constancio Melissa Crane John Cross Thomas Cross Amy Crump Mary Cuellar Reuel Culver Rosalinde Davidson Lee Dayries Delonda Dean George DeHoyos Nonnie Dela Cruz Oscar Delgado Quincy Dillard Troy Dixon Willie Drisdale Jim Dustcrbeck Chanty Dul Elizabeth Dzienowski Sophomores V 169 i JefTery Easter Penny Ebbs Roger Eisenbeck Lynn Eliotl Kim Ellis Corinna Erickson Robert Espinoza Maria Fair Michael Fettes Christine Fisher Sanny Flakes Dalecia Fletcher Alfred Flint Chris FJores James Flores Marisa Foradon Thomas Fuson Steven Fulrell Patricia Galvan Antonia Garza Michelle Garza Rolando Garza Jim Glass Alex Gloria Robert Gomez Sonia Gongora Anna Gonzales Jennifer Gonzales Joe Gonzales Lisa Gonzales Marcelo Gonzales Deborah Goodwin Ken Graef Kim Greiveldinger Bobbi Hamilton Alice Haros James Hart Sheila Hart Loretta Haynes Philip Hensley Delia Hernandez Jaime Hernandez Bonnie Herrera Brenda Herrera Evelyn Hcrron Jonathan Hickman Cindy Hobson Carla Hohn 170 V Sophomores Todd Howard Bradford Howard Trena Howard Edward Howell Everett Hudson Joanna Hutson Jimmie Ivery Tony Jackson Ruth Jehlen Kara Jensen Mickey Johnson Carolyn Juarez Richard Juarez David Justus Kenneth Kelly Tara Kilpairick Melissa Kinsey Sharon Kline Tragic death of student brings sadness to school contributing factor to the -■- student body, Joyce Whitcd was involved in the Rodeo Club, Treble Choir, and Introduction to Marketing. Joyce was a very fun person to be around, she always looked at the bright side of things and made you feel good, sophomore Anna Perez said. On Wednesday, October 7, 1987, graduate Lori Faglie and Whited were leaving the school and were struck b an oncoming vehicle in front of the school on highway 7 1 . Faglie died instantly, but Whited struggled for her life before she died a week later. The tragedy dampened spirits throughout the aftermath of Homecoming week. The accident impacted every student in some way, either they were friends with them, or it made them aware of their mor- tality, counselor Peg Raiford said. I was proud of all the stu- dents and how they handled it. Some students were getting to- gether to try to get flowers while others were trying to figure out a way to help with hospital ex- penses. The Whited family sponsored a benefit dinner to help pay for Joyce ' s outstanding hospital bills. Along with the dance, do- nations for an auction held with the dance were also taken. Big Trees, a locally owned business, donated an oak tree in memory of her, which was placed in front of the superintendent ' s of- fice. I miss Joyce a lot because she had a sense of humor and she always made me laugh, sophomore Sonia Gongora said. Students were reminded of the accident and Joyce everyday at the intersection by a wreath of flowers. Shortly after the ac- cident the intersection was closed down. Dedicating an oak tree to Joyce hited, .ludenls stand in a moment of silence. Whited was killed in a fatal accident that also took the life of a former student.

Phoio b) Sieve McCandless any thought there was nothing worse than be- ing a freshmen, the low- est of the high school scale. But being a sophomore could be worse. Sophomores were in the middle, like a no man ' s land. They weren ' t upperclassmen, according to seniors, but they weren ' t underclassmen, accord- ing to the sophomores them- selves. Sophomores knew enough about the high school to get by, but not enough to look like jun- iors or seniors. I liked being a sophomore, it was a lot better than being a freshman. I guess we were in the middle, sophomore Jeff Baker said. Sophomores were like the mid- dle child in a family with four children. The middle child had to learn to get along with everyone and gain respect from their older brothers and sister. The most important things to sophomores were to show that they did have spirit at the pep rallies. I remember when we were freshmen and we didn ' t know what to do. It was embarrassing. But during our sophomore year we got a lot more people to re- ally participate in pep rallies and even though we didn ' t win it was still important, sopho- more Christina Banda said. As the years go on, each class will gain even more experience than the year before. Experience is what teaches. ' T know by the time we ' re seniors we ' ll have our spirit and our pride built up to a real high level. It just takes time and un- derstanding to get it though, Banda said. 172 7 Sophomores Becky Marsh Janic Martinez Jenny Martinez Jorgina Marvin Lawrence Massey Kelly McCaskey Charlene McClain John McCoy Judith McMannis John Mercuhef Tim Mikus Adam Miller Donald Mills Janie Miramontez Terrence Mitchell Lisa Monreal Juan Monlez Rebecca Montoya Clinton Moore Claudia Morales Kathy Morris Rogelio Neira William Nelson Martin Nunez Michelle Olvera Joe Ontiveros Kimberly Owens Carolina Padilla Jaimie Pearce Annita Pena Leesa Penton Amy Perales Angela Perez Anna Perez Julie Pinson Karen Pitts Joe Pizana Paul Pleasant Kwang Pyon Noel Quintanilla Joel Rebollar Timmy Rector Jamie Redford Efrcn Regalado Suzanne Reid John Resetar Mansol Rcyna Robert Rcyna Sophomores V 173 Arturo Rios Chris Rios Diane Robinson Diana Rodela Blanca Rodriguez Chris Rodriguez Danny Rodriguez Emestina Rodriguez Teri Rodriguez Tony Rodriguez Frank Romero George Romo Tommy Romo Rolando Roque Jennifer Rowlan Armando Ruedas Javier Ruiz N idia Ruiz Tina Ruiz Heather Russo Diana Salazar Elaine Salazar Belinda Sanchez Deborah Sanchez Frances Sanchez Guadalupe Sanchez Carmen Sandoval Jennifer Saunders Lattana Saysansasongham Steven Self Jesse Serrano Katherine Sifuentes Niramay Siriboury Beverly Smith Charles Solis Fabian Solorzano Maricio Solorzano Morris Sorrells Erika Stark Barrett Sughrue Eric Swain Kimberly Swan Dena Tadlock Kenneth Tamayo Laura Tamayo Eddie Tausch Richard Templeton Joe Thompson 174 V Sophomores 1 I Slephcn Thompson David Thyssen Sieve Tooley Chris Torres Jason Trantham Lone Trejo Adolfo Trevino Manuel Tujillo Judy Tuttle Nora Moreno Valadez Janice Valencia James Vallejo Amy Van Deusen Kimberly Venegas Chris Villanueva Cory Walker Clance Warren Nicole Washington I Sophomores anticipate arrival of their licenses -_ — -ost sophomores were | | just waiting for their six- teenth birthday to come so they could go down to the De- partment of Transportation, take their test, and become legal driv- ers. It was so hard to wait for my birthday because getting a license ment I could have a lot more free- dom. sophomore John McCoy said. Getting a license was not to be taken lightly though. Having the right to own a license held a lot of responsibility. Drivers who were just starting out had to remember they held the lives of others in their hands. When I get my license Vm go- ing to be very careful that I don ' t break the rules because I take the privilege of having a license se- riously. sophomore Kennie Lightle said. If they were lucky, they al- ready had their license by the time the year started. I took my drivers ed last summer so I was able to have the freedom of going where I wanted and not have to rely on someone else. With a car I know that when I need to be some- where on a short notice I won ' t inconveniance anyone. , soph- omore Judy Tuttle said. Sometimes getting a car is much harder than getting a li- cense. When I get my car I don ' t care what it looks like as long as it has four wheels that go in the same direction! , McCoy said. Sooner or later, with spoked wheels or old junky hubcaps, every sophomore anticipated getting his license and driving away in their first car. i Insuring the safety of fellow Austinites sophomore Pom Pena, takes a visual test in preparation for her upcoming dnvers exam Pholo By Sieve McCandlcss Sophomores 175 P W Vincent Washington Ernest Weiss Christie Welch Dean Wells David Whaley Cindy Whitaker Lillian Whittaker Nichole White Done Whited Joyce Whited Stephanie Whitley Tralinda Wilkins Deshoun Williams James Williams Ryan Williams Sonja Woodcock Michelle Woodworth Lori York Anthony Young Joe Young Class gains experience after many pep rallies s unexperienced as the freshmen class was , they still managed to show some support of the team by making signs during the last few pep rallies.

Bomb- ers, and Yellow Rose Ar- cade were some of the hot spots for freshmen, but get- ting there was a problem for freshmen who were without a car or a driver ' s license. I usually get a ride from rel- atives, friends, or boyfriends, freshman Iris Hernandez said. While upperclassmen could go to games and other activities dur- ing the week more easily, the freshman usually sat at home. The weekends are the most exciting days of the week, my boyfriend takes me out, Annette Frenzel said. Getting out of the house and spending time with friends were common reasons for going out. Going out with our friends al- lows us to relieve stress from school and home, freshman Michelle Monreal said. But when it came to getting a ride to school, freshmen usually had to catch a ride on the good ole ' yellow school bus. You should see us in the morning. The bus comes to the ' Pea Patch ' and picks us up and then drops us off. Its a big bus but only three of us freshmen ride it, freshman Daniel Calderon said. Some freshmen were lucky enough to have older brothers or sisters who could drive them to school or at least let them hitch a ride after school. Stepping up on the bus, freshman Carolyn Barnes dreads the heat of the un-air-conditioned ride home.

Pholobj Ma a Hondcn..m 1 Being thrown into a school with many students and classes can often cause confusion and chaos among al- most all incoming freshmen. They were fa ced with the prob- lems of trying to find their way around an unfamiliar school campus, coping with new classes, and dealing with everyday high school life. It was scary because I didn ' t know anyone and I was always lost, freshman Jill Carter said. Entering freshmen were also faced with the reality of not knowing approximately three fourths of the student body. This challenged freshmen to make new friends among their peers. Most freshmen agreed, that the more upperclassmen they knew the bet- ter off they were. Because of thier age most en- tering freshmen were inferior in size compared to other studnets. Being physically smaller than their peers caused freshmen to feel slightly akward in their new situation. There are too many big peo- ple around here, freshman Danny Luedecke said. Overall, with unnerving pa- tience, freshmen became famil- iar with the daily schedule of high school life. Classes were easier to find and friends were easier to make. .After time they no longer felt awkward and blended into the crowd with or overwhelming easiness. Once you became fimilar with everything it was easer to get around and to make new friends, freshman Caryn Click said. After long months of trying to get used to everything, pretty soon the year was over with and the freshmen were no longer the young and inexperienced. 180 V Freshmen I I tmm Kevin Cionzalcs Larry Gonzales Rebecca Cionzalcs Rudy Gonzales Teresa Gonzales Irene Cionzalez Olivia Granado ( urtis Graves Thomas Cireen Denise GrifTnh MikeCiriffith Michelle (irisham Julian Guajardo German Guerrero Nancy Guerrero Ricky Guerrero David Guevara Debbie Gutierrez Cindy Hall Ilene Hamende Beverly Hamilton Ciina Hand Mark Hand Jimmy Hargis Felicia Harper Cheryl Harris Elizabeth Harris Christine Hays Jessica Hays Dorothea Heater Ursula Henderson Brenda Hendrix Patrma Henry Luis Hermosil ' iO Ins Hernandez Margie Hernandez Pedro Hernandez Herrera Katina Herring Bryon Hess Drew Hickman Kriste Hodges Chantee Hood Kyle Howard Richard Hurst Scott Hutchings Natasha Jackson Bridgette Johnson Freshmen V 181 Donald Johnson Sheila Jones Jesse Jurado Monica Jurado Billy Kaminer Kenneth Kelly Charles Kelm Chong Mi Kim Samuel Kincheon Donnie Kmg David Kocen Jack Krell Angela Kudary Monte Lane Pam Langley Anthony Lejman James Lester Wayne Lincecum Stacie Linderman Danny Lipsey Roman Lopez Virginia Lopez Scott Lorett Johnny Loza Danny Luedecke Melissa Lugo Juliana Lynch Brenda Madsen Christoper Marin Filberto Martinez Gloria Martinez Naomi Martinez Rene Martinez Shirley Martinez Bnan Masterson Bobby Maxa Betty Maynard Jay McAllister Jonathan McCaslin Kasandra McCuUum Helena McDonald Kendra McDonald Randy McDonald Ronald McNeely John Mendoza Stephen Mendoza Brenda Meredith Michael Merida V 182 Freshmen Venus Merrick Timothy Mitchell Victor Moberg Michclc Monreal C ' laudell Monroe James Monroe Curtis Moore Russell Moore Josuc Morales Kimberly Morgan Justm Mussclman Isabel Negrele Demetria Nelms Michael Nelson Thu Nguyen Veronica Nunn Gregory Ojeda Paul Orta Freshmen fears grow, vengeful seniors indulge With the new year came fresh new faces — freshmen. Along with the new batch came the eager seniors, ready to carry out the tradition of giving the fish a hard time. Such traditions included stuffing freshmen in lockers, put- ting freshmen in trashcans, ex- ploding smoke bombs in the freshman hall, and just giving freshmen a hard time. I didn ' t like it. Just because they were picked on when they were fish, they thought they could do it to us, freshman Valerie Quintero said. The incoming freshmen also had a hard time getting used to six week and semester exams that they were not required to take in mid-school. It took awhile to get used to the six weeks and semester ex- ams, freshman Cynthia Ellis said. Added to the freshman hard- ships was the fact that the high school took over the mid- school. This caused the fresh- men to return to an old school with the classrooms they just left. We shouldn ' t have to go back to the mid-school because we just left it, Ellis said. Even though some freshmen didn ' t care too much about re- turning, some saw the advan- tage to take revenge on the seni- ors who ' ve never been to the mid-school. It ' s okay that we go back be- cause I know where everything is, freshman Stefany Wallace said. Although they were picked on, some freshmen planned to carry out their share of trouble. Helping out with the elective fair, fresh- man David Kocen hop«s that the day will end soon so that he can get one day closer to becoming a sophomore.

Freshmen will have to take the test again in their jun- ior year. TEAMS is a series of tests that determines a student ' s math, reading, and writing capabilities. Students begin taking the TEAMS test in third grade and take it every other year after that up to eleventh grade. The stu- dents that do not pass the elev- enth grade test will have to keep taking it until they do pass; oth- Studying hard, freshman Sherry Roberts erwise, they will not be able tO get looks over the TEAMS test booklet the ,u j i day before the test. Pholo bj Maya Henderson thCir QiplOmaS. The ninth grade TEAMS test identifies students that may have difficulty passing the eleventh grade exit level test. Those stu- dents are given extra tutoring to improve their weaknesses on the test. I don ' t like the TEAMS, but by taking it, you find out how much you know and how much you need to learn, freshman Tricia Fitzgerald said. The Second Called Session of the 68th Texas Legislature man- dated the TEAMS test in House Rill 72. TEAMS was then ini- tiated by Texas Educators As- sociation. In addition, three freshmen classes took a practice TEAMS test in January. The school was selected in a project study. It was the third year the tests had been given to students of ninth and eleventh grade. Students who do not master enough objectives to pass the test may be required to take a TEAMS class during homeroom or instead of regular math or English. 184 V Freshmen Valerie Quintero Gabriel Quiroz OnolVe Ramos David Reballoso Randall Redmond John Reyes Luciano Reyna Ricky Richardson Beatrice Rios Benny Rivera Julianita Rivera Sherry Roberts Catina Rodriguez Dino Rodriguez Gabriel Rodriguez Gloria Rodriguez Rita Rodnguez Sergio Rodriguez Max Rohleder Katerine Resales Pamela Rosales Emma Ruedas Virginia Ruedas Nancy Ruiz Ruby Ruiz Christine Saenz Loraine Salas Rodrigo Salgado Joe A Sanchez Joe D Sanchez Monique Sanchez Chris Sandoval Micheal Sargent Katrece Satchel Marty Saucedo Mark Sawyer Savay Sayaroummane Mark Scott Daniel Seekford Rigo Segura Gerald Sellers Kato Sherman Karen Shingledecker Dcbra Shipley Shirley Simpson James Smit Cherie Smith Tracy Smith Freshmen V 185 Yolanda Sinilh Janet Spires Porter Stanton Carl Stark Daniel Stewart Leesa Strode Larry Strong Stephen Swan James Syzdek Kimberly Teaff Carol Teague Kurt Thomas Michael Thompson Susan Thompson Rosemary Tijenna Ryan Tokarski Gabriel Torres Liza Trevino Selina Trevino Ruth Tullas Joe Turner Armando Valdez Inma Valdez Ismael Valdez Tammy Vallejo Melissa Vanderkoot Marie Vandeusen Alejandro Vargas Robert Vasquez Vincent Veal Rita Vendrell Marisa Villanueva Melissa Villarreal Rosalinda Villarreal Sonya Villegas Randall Wade Stefany Wallace Steven Wallace Johnny Weatherford A pnl Wharton Kenneth Whtied Denise Whitehead Felicia Wiggins Anne Wilhelm Lisa Wilhelm Angle Williams Cedric Williams Joe Williams r-W ll- 186 V Freshmen Jon Williams Monica Willingham Shanna Wilsford Shawn Wilson Rhonda Woolvcrton Cindy Yealer Susun Yoon Mar Zuniga Four-year plans prepare students for graduation rreshmen received a taste of high school life when they filled out their four- year plans in junior high. The purpose of four-year plans were for students to decide what classes they wanted or needed to prepare them for their future. I think it was to let us see what classes we were interested in and get us ready for college, freshmen Stefany Wallace said. Most students fill the plans out in mid-school and in their soph- omore year, the counselors sched- ule a parent conference to discuss the student ' s plans. I remember filling them out, but I know ril change my mind because I don ' t know what I ' m doing with my life yet, freshmen Daniel Stewart said. Even though some freshmen don ' t know what they ' re doing after high school, quite a few have made a decision. Fresh- man Cynthia Ellis said she would like to be a veternarian and go to college at Texas A and M. I heard it has one of the best veternarian schools to go to, she said. Whatever a freshman ' s deci- sion is to make a career out of, four-year plans are defmitley a necessity for students. I really think they help kids make a decision about careers, freshmen Russell Moore said. Although, freshmen don ' t have to make a decision about after high school careers yet, four-year plans help them or- ganize any plans they might have.

My house was like Worid War III hit it. It is never clean anymore. We have bottles, dirty clothes and diapers every- where, new father coach Rusty Wallace said. Changing diapers, making bottles, and getting up in the middle of the night all go along with the joy of having a baby. Babies are a lot of fun but they are a lot of work and you have to have time and patience, love and lots of understanding to re- ally enjoy having one. I left school for the first se- mester when I had my little girl and when I came back just be- fore Christmas vaction it was a change. I love to work with the kids, but I do miss her and sometimes I ' d just rather be at home with her, freshmen Eng- lish teacher Kay Compton said. Life can be rough once there is a baby in the house but the anticipation of a newborn could be rough too. Is it a boy or a girl? Will it look like him or me? Will it become a football star or a top notch cheerleader? What will become of this child we are taking on? These questions and many more were thought of all through the nine month wait. It seems like it is harder on the father even though they have the easy part. I ' m looking forward to my wife having this baby because I ' m ready for a family now. I really want a little girl because I love little girls, but no matter what it is I ' ll love it anyway! expecting father Steve Barnes said.

This is one of many limer- icks that was quoted by bawdy girls that roamed from table to table at the Madrigal dinner, Dec. The party was attended by 17 teachers, some with children in tow, who went to eat, drink and be merry while they celebrated the Christmas season. The dinner was set in medieval times where actors dressed in elaborate cos- tumes, walked around and per- formed various tasks. Characters entertained the guests, but cat- ered especially to the children. ' They just latched on the kids by including them in their acts and telling them stories. Part of the fun for me was watching the expressions on the kids faces, English teacher Gwen Bonner said. As they sat or just walked around the ballroom sipping ther Wassail, (a medieval drink made of cranberry, all spice and cider), the teachers were treated to entertainment in the form of flame throwers, acrobats, jug- glers, rat salesmen, court jesters, traveling Minstral singers and, of course, the pregnant nun. I really enjoyed the festiv- ities and the social aspect but I could really do without the eel and some of the other food, journalism teacher Dixie Mc- Grath said. The dinners were served by serfs and every time the Pope began to make a speech among the cast, a lot of giggling and snickering was heard, English teacher Amy Donaldson said. The dinner was held in the union ballroom at the Univer- sity of Texas.

Financial support from local businesses came in the forms of boosters or ads for our programs and publications, or by purchasing numerous items that were sold as fundraisers. The business management supported the publications de- partment by buying ads in the newspaper and in the yearbook which were sold in efforts to raise money for the publications. Without the generous contributions that were given by the businesses, there would not be a band, a football team, a newspaper or a yearbook. In turn, to show their appreciation community members and the student body supported local restaurants by dining there. Abundant awards and scholarships that were also presented throughout the year were made possible by the unlimited generosity of the members of our community. In addition, many companies donated equipment and sup- plies to the various departments of the school.

Layout by Debbie Kaiser V 203 The 9ecret is out Bookroom of value From Shakespeare ' s plays to books on how to build a car, the hbrar provided a well-rounded source of information. The library was used as a source of information for re- search papers, book reports and special projects. My Data Processing classes did research for building a data base. In addition, each student had to research a topic relating to computers. They used the li- brary for researching their top- ic, business teacher Kathy Col- lins said. The library had other uses, as well. It gave students a place to go to study in the morning and during lunch. I used the library to study for tests in the morning before school and also at the end of my lunch period, sophomore Me- lissa Kinsey said. Despite the many uses for the books and periodicals in the li- brary, the room took on a totally different meaning during third period. It became a meeting place. The East Library held dif- ferent club meetings and the West Library was the home of the Student Council activity pe- riod. The library was definitely more than a room full of books. The library gave me an easy and quick place to get informa- tion for a report or just a chance to get a good book to read, senior Fred Duck said. It saved me from fighting traffic to go downtown to the Austin Public Library. The library was one of the best Best Kept Secrets. Stu- dents were really surprised to see what the library had to offer. It had a whole range of topics plus a place for students to go to in their spare time. The library provided a necessary service to the student body. Complete Auto Parts; and Machine Shop Service SOUTH AUSTIN AUTO SUPPLY 2801 Manchaca Rd.

Layout by Fred Duck V 205 The 9ecret is out . . . Honor roll rewards efforts Every six weeks the computer sheets hanging inside the trophy case by the East Office were changed. Four columns of sheets distinguished each class. The honor roll lists named each student who had made at least one A and five grades between 80 and 90. Students who made Cs, however, did not make the honor roll even if they had five As and only one C. It ' s a good feeling when I make the honor roll, junior Denise Schriber said. It is an accomplish- ment to know all my hard work went into some kind of recognition. Making the grade meant more than just the hon- or roll. Some parents and teachers would give priv- ileges to those students who showed they could achieve high standards in the classroom. My parents would give me money or take me out to eat when I made As, junior Jennifer John- son said. Being on the honor roll helped me get into honors classes and Honor Society. Being on the honor roll had other advantages as well. Teachers tend not to call on you as often in class to answer questions, sophomore Kara Jen- sen said. They know you have the answer so they only make you answer when no one else can. The counselors also checked the honor roll to keep up with students progress. Mrs. Lepine kept me informed on the SAT prep class and she checked on scholarships and colleges for others, Schriber said. The honor students are also the ones often picked to go to seminars and workshops and that usually goes through their of- fice. Letters to the parents were mailed out each time their child made straight As in school. Principal Joe Brown commended the parents and the student for his or her dedication to making high grades. Being able to make the honor roll could be hard work, especially when the student was involved in extracurricular activities. Many honor students had to learn the value of time management. Playing basketball took a lot of time away from studying, Jensen said. When I got out of practice I went straight to my homework and then to sleep. There wasn ' t much time for T.V. Achieving the honor roll gave other incentives for keeping high grades. My grades have to get me into college. I want to go to The University of Texas and then become a teacher. High grades show I ' m learning what is being taught and I want to get the most from my classes since they arc also helping me to decide what field I will want to teach. Schriber said.

Spreading the secret around the surrounding commu- nities wasn ' t the end of the rumors, it really was only the beginning. The more we achieved, the higher we strove for perfection in eve- rything we did. During our quest for excellence, we always seemed to come up winning. Top priority was centered around a pursuit of merit. Sports such as football, basketball, and baseball improved with drive, spirit, and skill. Honors were numerous throughout the student body in- cluding awards in Drill team, DECA, OEA, Journalism, FHA, and HERO which brought more positive recognition to our school than ever before. Along with the improvements in our free time and activities, our academic achievements also blossomed. With added additions to our Honors programs, new classes offered, and new graduation plans our level of education improved. With the return of the semester the group effort showed through as we took over the mid-school. Students, teachers, and administration worked hand in hand to move the English and Social Studies de- partment to the north campus. No longer did we speak softly. Spirit and involvement rose to outstanding heights in school and community activities and students were determined to let people know about it. Due to the word of mouth, the secret just wasn ' t a secret anymore. 214 A Closing Reviewing over her typing test, junior Trina Holweger double checks for mis- takes.

Thanks to the unlimited efforts of the staff; coming in early, staying after school, working at home, and spending most every possible free moment on year- book, this production was possible. De- spite inexperience in production, the staff ' s creativity soon took over and turned The Best Kept Secret into a top- notch accomplishment. A very special thanks is extended to Mrs. Dixie McGrath (Mickey G) for all of her support and dedication behind this book. Thanks for staying throughout the year, for spending infinite hours proof- reading and helping us with our work, for standing up for our publication rights, for teach- ing us the principles of creating a journalistic book, but most of all (and the most important) thanks for being our friend. An extended gratification goes to Mr. Jim Anderson from Taylor Publishing Company for his unlimited patience and creative, useful sug- gestions. Also, thanks to all of the staff ' s par- ents for letting us borrow their children all of those late nights in order to meet our deadlines. We appreciate your infinite support and un- derstanding. Co-Editors, Fred Duck and Zina Bernard :z.
