DHS IS MADE OF . . . Denison Senior High School Denison, Texas 75020 1980 Volume 65 Mrs. Sylvia McBrayer The editors of the “Real People yearbook contemplated for some time before deciding on a person who has truly fulfilled this theme — Mrs. Sylvia McBrayer. Mrs. McBrayer is drama and Student Council sponsor, two of the most active groups in school. Mrs. McBrayer was chosen because she dedicates more of her time to the students than she does to herself. She has directed every play this year, taken students to contest for drama and workshops for Student Council. She has sponsored activities of the Council such as parades, homecoming programs and other activities. For her time, devotion and most of all her love, the 1979-80 “Real People” annual is dedicated to Mrs. Sylvia McBrayer. 2 — Dedication Table of Contents Achievers Are Real People, Too.........................7 Activities Athletes Are Real People, Too........................113 Sports Scholars Are Real People, Too........................155 Classroom Activities Jackets Are Real People, Too.........................201 People: Individuals and Groups Merchants Are Real People, Too.......................263 Advertisers Babies Are Real People, Too..........................285 Senior Salute Table of Contents — 3 ...

Their love and guiding light will be with us throughout our lives. It is not a farewell to learning — for all lives are a process of building and rebuilding as each of us gains new experiences. And, it is not a farewell to happy times — for there are many more awaiting the members of this class. Rather, this valedictory says farewell to a phase of our lives. Though there will be sadness at parting, it will pass, as new friends, responsibilities, and adventures come to us. I recently received from my first teacher, my kindergarten teacher, an old Irish prayer that is a philosophy of life I would like to share with you. It has lasting advice — not only for my classmates assembled here, but for everyone. Take time to work — it is the price of success. Take time to think — it is the source of power. Take time to play — it is the secret of perpetual youth. Take time to read — it is the foundation of wisdom. Take time to be friendly — it is the road to happiness. Take time to dream — it is hitching your wagon to a star. Take time to live and be loved — it is the privilege of the Gods. Take time to look around — the day is too short to be selfish. Take time to laugh — it is the music of the soul. In a few short hours, my classmates and I will separate — some to seek success, some to wield power, some to attain wisdom, and, hopefully, all to find happiness. No matter where you go, no matter what you attain, always — Take Time. Families, friends, and guests, I am proud to stand before you tonight as valedictorian of this loyal and spirited class; the first class of the new decade; the Class of 1980.

Classes — 159 Schools - By Wesley Fulce With the combined goals of “learning to live and making a living” and assuring that every high school graduate finishes school with at least one saleable skill, the Denison schools and area business and professional people are involved in a mutually profitable program — vocational education. Vocational education programs in Denison secondary schools, primarily the high school, are designed to prepare students to master a work skill and are geared to meet the needs of industries, businesses and professions in the Denison area providing trained persons to supply the job market. Forty-six percent of the total enrollment of grades 9-12 is involved in some form of vocational program, a total of 665 students. In grades 8-12, 1059 students participate, representing 56% of the total enrolled. According to the 10th annual report of the State Advisory Council to the State Board of Education, vocational education has increased 88.2% in the last 10 years in Texas high schools. The school-community partnership includes co-op programs where students work in area firms part of each day, laboratory programs where students meet three-hour classes with simulated programs and pre-vocational laboratory programs which ready the student for the co-op program. Laboratory classes in drafting, cosmetology, metal trades and building trades meet three hours daily and are supported in some way by area industries. Forty percent of the graduates from the last five years’ vocational drafting classes are now employed in drafting or related fields in the Denison area. Dr. Frances Willis, Denison Schools Vocational Director said the laboratory programs have a high rate of graduates getting jobs in the Denison area. Students in the co-op programs — office education, health occupations, industrial cooperative training, home economics, co-op agriculture and marketing and distributive education — usually progress to better jobs in their vocational areas. Businesses Join Hands Ladder and construction businesses. Employers benefit from the program by having reliable, supervised employees, and providing the community with a supply of trained personnel to meet future needs. For example, Debbie Hood, a former health occupations student has earned her degree as a dental assistant and is now employed by Dr. Curtis Bogard. “Health occupations and other vocational classes give students a chance to experience a career field before making a final decision, Debbie said. Dr. Bogard described the partnership between the school vocational program and the Denison business and professional community this way: “A career is like a ladder, and these classes are the bottom step. First step — Drafting student Paul Morris begins training with a mechanical design (above). Ty McElwam is a co-op ag student (far left). Building trades classes with the help of the Denison Builders Association train students with on-the-job experience. A five-year follow up study completed in 1974 indicated that 49% of the lab and co-op trained students were employed in jobs directly or indirectly related to their vocational education training. Dr. Willis estimates that percentage is even higher today. Several persons active in business in Denison today are former co-op students. The coordinated vocational academic education program in general construction trades at the junior high level and office duplication at the senior high are helping students become employable and trained in those fields. Many of the junior high students continue in vocational programs when they enter high school. Pre-employment laboratory courses in office education at the eleventh grade and marketing and distributive education at the tenth grade train students for entering those co-op programs at the next grade level. While the total school program is designed to help students learn to live in this complicated, technical society, some learn job skills that provide employment immediately after high school in courses such as useful homemaking, printing, journalism, photography, woodworking and agriculture. Graduates from these courses may be found employed in local newspaper, radio and television and in related retail NEW H0!£ FOR SALE Classes — 161 Smile everyone! — VOE stu- A new arrival? — Cindy Carter adds finishing touches on her new dents learn many different jobs egg” child.

(Below) Charles Vaughn adjusts a lathe to begin work. Homemaking, metalshop, vocational office education and drafting are just a few of the classes offered to students. These courses are designed to prepare students for their futures. This form of apprenticeship teaches basic skills so students will not be totally inexperienced when they pursue their particular careers. These classes range in length from the regular one-hour class period up to three hours, and students may also choose to participate in the program one, two or three years. In addition to these classes, students must complete the basic academic courses required to graduate. They are then prepared to enter the world of work or continue schooling.

Class Tests Body, Studies Stimuli Mr. John Terry’s Biology I classes conducted some interesting and at times odd experiments. Studying the nervous system, they did a series of tests on their classmates to study environmental stimuli and to study the sense organs. Mr. Terry mapped out 25 tests for the students to do. The first eight tests are to determine the response obtained in various common reflexes. The first is one many doctors will do when you go for a physical examination, that is, striking the tendon below the knee with a rubber hammer to examine the reflex of the tendon. 182 — Classes Comparing notes — Biology I students Leigh Ann information as Tammy Walters puzzles what test to Gandy, Xrandy Bayless and Lori Ruble exchange do next. The second test has to do with the achilles tendon, the tendon on the back of the ankle. With a chair supporting the legs and the feet hanging over the edge, the tendon is tapped and the foot should flex. The next test is called the photopupil reflex test, and of course has to do with the eyes. The student closes his eyes for two minutes while facing a bright light, then he opens his eyes and the pupil will be very large. Within seconds the pupil will adjust and become small again. The students test each other and record the results. They also conducted tests to determine the near point of vision, visual acuity and to test for astigmatism. After the visual tests, they conduct hearing tests. Using a clock with a ticking noise and a tape measure, they move the clock away and see how far the clock can be moved while the student being tested is able to hear the ticking. This test is performed on each ear. One test records the motion of the student’s eyes while he is sitting on a rotating chair. Other tests include localizing a stimulus, pressure sensation, receptor adaptation, touch simulation, temperature stimulation, chemical stimulation, and the location of the taste buds. The class also tested the effects of drugs on the heart of a rat. With the rat hooked up to a heart monitor, they will administer insulin, adrenalin, nicotine and record the rat’s heartbeat. “After all these sense organ tests, the students should be more aware of what the body capabilities are,” said biology teacher Mr. Rick Coulter.
