Happy Days Are Here Again MAKING IT HAPPEN Many are the happy days at Fountain Lake. Alicia Van Esler and Cindy Cotnam (top) show school spirit during spirit week before football homecoming by dressing Halloween style. Also in costume are (above, left) Cynthia Haley, Alicia Van Esler, Kelly Ballard, Liz Hooper, and Dianna Vaughn. The trip to the Arkansas State Fair was another happy time. Above, Mrs. Newman, Mrs. Smedley, Mrs. Lowder, and Ashley Lowder take a break from viewing exhibits and riding rides. It’s a shame they have to share one coke! Above right, exuberance is the word for Dorothy Starnes and Paula Cockman, who seem to have cleaned out the games of chance. An exciting part of homecoming and every football game is when the mighty Cobras (left) break through the hoop and onto the field. At right, SeRonni Rodgers is one of several students who works at Magic Springs. We are grateful to the amusement park for providing the setting for our Who’s Who pictures. ore here ogam Table Of Contents Who’s Who Seniors Student Life Athletics Administration Faculty Classes Organizations Student Life Ads Index (Above) Most Handsome - Chuck Veazey, Most Beautiful - Lisa Owen; (above right) Most Courteous -Kenny Whiley, Ann Chapman; (below) Most Likely to Succeed - Randy Kopf, Louise Hula; (below right) Best Dressed - Doug Curtis, Judy Braughton S MAAA wha's waa (Above left) Best Personality - Mark Culpepper, Levon Shell; (above) Biggest Flirt - Sherry Stevens, Randy Ford; (below left) Most Talented - Wesley Van Esler, Melinda Dickson; (below) Most School Spirit - Carla Ritter, Virgil Burks.

Our so-called mile-high stadium was completed last fall. We are very proud of our football field, and to prove this our Senior Football team gave us a good luck charm by winning our very first game there against Magnet Cove. Our football teams are improving every year and we hope the football field will help further our progress. We would like to thank our Fountain Lake administration for their effort in building our new facility, and we hope our Cobra teams can make you very proud of us in the seasons to come. P.S. We would appreciate our next dream to be a PAVED track around the field. Marcie Deans boogies (above) at the Valentine Dance, a hot spot for friendship.

Student Life 29 a week of spirit During the week before Football Homecoming, high school showed spirit by dressing up in certain styles for different days. We had School Colors Day, Sloppy Day, Costume Day (which coincided with Halloween), and Dress-up Day. Everyone had a super time and was all “SPIRIT” by the night of the ball game, which we won.

They have found out that if they want to have a car or a new wardrobe, it takes more than sitting around wishing and hoping. It takes money! A job also gives a person responsibilities. He learns how to use money and becomes aware that there are different types of worthwhile people in the world. A job teaches him to deal with different problems and to work out solutions to them. Sherry Tillery (above right) stays busy after school hours working as a waitress at The Three Pines restaurant. Working at a service station, Eugene Sheets (above left) learns a lot about auto mechanics as well as retail business. A number of Fountain Lake students work at the many fast food restaurants.

Some are concerned with the present and are working for extra spending money, clothes, to make car payments, to help out at home, or for a combination of reasons. Others join the working world with the future in mind. Their earnings will go for such things as college or business school, starting a home, or paying for a wedding. Randy Rostan’s (top left) duties are varied and include such things as pumping gas, checking, stocking, and cleaning up at Ken’s Grocery. Cooking is a hot job for Chuck Kaney (top right), who works at Bonanza Steak House.

Fountain Lake finally received that long awaited, badly needed, much hoped for football stadium. After three years of travel by the team and the fans, and three years of de-mountainizing the school’s version of Pike’s Peak, the newspaper-dubbed half-mile high stadium was finally completed. Just in time. too. This year's Cobra Seniors - Doug. Virgil. Wesley, and Chuck - were a part of that first football program that three years ago were told that they would have a field on which to play their home ball games. For three long, patient years they waited with some marginal frustration, anxiety, and disappointment. When the playing field was finally completed, the seniors, as well as the other players, could not believe their eyes. There actually were grass, goal posts, a scoreboard, and some real bleachers. The old coach had no trouble whatsoever in getting the players emotionally ready for that first HOME, really at Fountain Lake School, football game against the Magnet Cove Panthers. The adrenaline flowed with such a volume that by the end of the first quarter, the Cobras had scored 22 points and the Panthers had not scored at all. The home field emotional spark, or advantage, was the difference in this ballgame as the Fountain Lake Cobras tasted victory at home for the very first time. For this year’s seniors, the thought that will stick in their minds for the years to come is that they were the first seniors to play on the turf of the new stadium. For the underclassmen and future Cobras, they have a fine facility in which to build pride. The Purple Pride of 79 is about to arrive.

Senior Boys Basketball Effort Produces A Winning Team 1978-1979 By Ronnie Marvel A new team, a building year, a team of very contrasting personalities and backgrounds. After the season I can look back and say it was a great season, one in which we were able to succeed. It was a season with many high and lows but more highs -possibly my best coaching job. Our goal was to win 20, lose less than 10, go undefeated in our conference, and go to the state tournament, all of which we accomplished except going undefeated in the conference. We were 14-2. Our most exciting game was the finals of the District Tournament as we won on the last shot of the second overtime against Mountain Pine, giving us four wins over the pre-season District favorite. This was one of my biggest thrills as a coach and quite possibly the biggest basket in Fountain Lake history. We had a record of 23-7, were runner-up by 1 point in the Magnet Cove Tournament, County runner up, Conference champs, and District champs; four trophies were won. This team was one without exceptional ability, but they would not quit, which they proved on many occasions as we had many close games of which we won most. We had 3 All-Conference players and the Most Valuable Player. Winning basketball teams have become a tradition at Fountain Lake, and this team was a part of that tradition, which will continue to grow as long as it is given the proper attention.

Senior Girls Basketball An Outstanding Season 1978-1979 Senior Girls By Ron Marvel The term that words are not enough would be very applicable to this team. The best, great, super, or any other complimentary term could be used to describe this team. To say this is the best team I have ever coached seems hardly enough. When the season started, we had high hopes and didn’t want to leave anything undone. This caused practice to be much tougher than in past years. We started earlier and stayed longer. We set our goals. They were to win more than 20, lose less than 5, win the county, go to state, keep our 8 game winning streak against our rival Jessieville intact, and win the state tournament. We were able to accomplish all but the last and picked up a few extra on the way. A record of 21 straight wins was accomplished, and we were the only undefeated team at that time in the state. We won the Magnet Cove Invitational Tournament, the county, the district, and our conference, four first place trophies. We had five players make All-District and could and should have had six. Also our team supplied the Most Valuable Player in our Conference. Our record of 27-2 was the best ever at Fountain Lake. Our most exciting game was with Jessieville at Jessieville. We were 12 points behind and gained a 6 point lead within 3 minutes. Another exciting game was the finals of the County Tournament against Mountain Pine and, of course, the District finals against Mount Ida. We had a complete team: our forwards were good, our guards were good, and our bench was the best. All of our team was together during a game; we won together and we lost together. Our stars were the team, and we had a 3.55 grade average out of a possible 4 point, which was second best in the state. This team was like no other team before them, and my hope is to someday have another one like it.

The season began, and, as each game passed, they improved. We made the finals of the first tournament we played. As each game passed, we found ourselves 7-0 in the conference, only to lose the conference on the final game of the regular season to a 7-0 Bismarck team. When the county tourney came, we again made the finals but lost in an overtime. Then came the big showdown: the district tournament. We lost in the semi-finals by one point. For a team that was only trying to be average with below average abilities you would have to say the 1979 junior boys followed in the tradition of the teams before them. They finished with a 13-5 record and as one of my favorite teams. Right: Jason Ware goes up for two points against the Ouachita Warriors to lead the Cobra Junior Boys to a 41-23 Homecoming victory.

How many teams that are continually beaten by an arch-rival end up upsetting that team, not just once but twice in one season? Jessieville has been the perennial big dog in Garland County for many years. This year, though. Fountain Lake slipped up on them in their own domain on a last second shot and whipped them handily in the finals of the County Tournament.

It provides the opportunity to meet new people and go to new places. Being a cheerleader also requires a lot of time and money, but all the fun and activity involved are worth it. Cheerleading means a lot of exciting adventures. At camp cheerleaders learn new cheers and skits. Car washes and dances are money-making projects and are also fun. Making up pom-pom routines is probably one of the most exciting activities involved. Things don't always go so smoothly, however. There are times when a cheerleader is tired, coming home from a game, and she would like to curl up and sleep, but everyone else wants to play freeze out! She might even get caught in a snowstorm coming home from a game and all she can do is hope she makes it back to school; then pray her parents will be able to come get her. From the time school is out until the time she has to be at the bus doesn't give her long to get ready for the game. If she has to run an errand and gets stranded at a friend’s house because of car trouble, there's not much she can do but pray. (Thank goodness for understanding sponsors!) Cheerleading means the chance to be close to people who were at one time only acquaintances. The homecoming game is a very special game, because it is the last time she will get to cheer with the senior members of the squad. Cheerleading is a worthwhile experience. by Sherry Tillery 76 Sports Junior Cheerleaders Junior cheerleaders for basketball and football are Virgie Sheets, Margaret Shaw, Susie Holder, Melissa Magby, Dana Safley, Louise Summerville, Shauna Robbins, Carla Larsen, Cindy Bibbs, Janet Dunkin, Teresa Harness, and Lucie Deans.

V TN The Middle School Middle school is a time for growing. Becoming a young adult is one of the most trying times in a student’s life, as any middle school student can tell you. When a child enters middle school, he begins the shaping process that in just three years will leave him prepared for life as a young adult. A recent development at Fountain Lake, middle school is a place where new experiments in education take place. Students there are challenged to look at the world with older eyes and to experience their own growth through mind and body building courses, such as journalism, foreign language, physical education, and of course, the basic reading, writing, and arithmetic. -ft, il Jil 1 Some middle school students and high school students make extra money through working. Virgie Sheets and Jody Catlett (top) spend much of their work time making tacos! Dodie Rhodes (above left) is still bouncy and happy at the end of a hard day. The Cobra Charmers perform at many football and basketball games and provide appreciated entertainment. 106 Classes Develops Maturity, Responsibility The teachers at Fountain Lake Middle School are blessed with the most pleasurable experience of all. They see a child enter their ranks in the sixth grade, where his education and personality are reshaped as he is required to do more and more in less and less time. When he leaves the eighth grade, he has grown into a young adult, prepared to face the complex joys and pains awaiting him. And, after the students have gone, Fountain Lake Middle School teachers find that they have grown, too. Musclemen Jason Ware and Chris Helms flex for the photographer (top).

Gone are the days of “reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic, taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick.” In their classes students are given a variety of programs that are both educational and also entertaining. Television programs, colorful workbooks, and smiling teachers make for one of the most exciting experiences a student will ever have. During recess students get another form of education. They learn to cope with the demands of being with and sharing with other students, and that friendship and understanding are necessary parts of life. This is an education they will remember long after they have left the halls and playgrounds of Fountain Lake. Ready for reading class are Ann Roberts, Diana Robertson, Shannon Tillery, Sarah Curtis, and Tammye Michau (above right). Kindergartener Tina Trusty (above left) enjoys coloring but is shy about having her picture taken. 114 Classes A Time For Growth Darren Ford, Jason Curtis, and Tommy Thomas (left) work on their assignment in the first grade.

Kindergarten 127 Ty Payne Jeffrey Pyler Sue Roberts Franky Sears Joanne Seewald Dale Shelton “We send From Our Memory You Will Never Be Erased all of our love to you, Robby Gossage.” We all walk through the valley of the shadow of death every day, but few are called as early as Robby was. He was special. He was called after only twelve years and nine days of life. However short this time may seem to us, he accomplished more than many people who live to be ninety. He had accepted Jesus as his Savior and is now living with him in Heaven. We may all look back and say how very young Robby was and how much we love and miss him, but let’s just stop and consider Robby for a minute. Where is he better off? In Heaven with golden streets to walk upon, a pure river of the water of life proceeding out of the throne of God and Jesus as his companion, or would we rather have Robby for our selfish reasons and have him suffer all the iniquities of this life? Let’s try to let go of him now, for he is in far better The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23 care than we could ever hope to provide. He’s with Jesus, and what could ever begin to compare to that? We will never forget Robby because we loved him so much and he was such a great person, but the sting of his death shall gradually fade away. After we overcome our loss, we will begin to see and understand his gain. Let’s just be thankful now because no more harm will ever come to Robby again. He is God’s possession now, not his parents’, friends’ or relatives’, but God’s. Robby heard Jesus softly whispering to him on that cold December day, and he answered and left this world with a great triumph and victory! by Robin Howard In Rememberance Of You, We Send All Our Love “For you, Charlotte Shaw, You Will Always Remain In Our Hearts” As we live in this world everyday, we will fear no evil, Because God is with us. Charlotte was so very special to everyone. She was a bright, shining light in our day. God called her home after sixteen years of her life. She lived a good life, and she was always happy. We all miss her, but she is much happier in heaven where there is no sorrow nor tears. God has prepared for us all a place where we shall walk on streets of gold, be surrounded by walls of precious stones and a pure river of life coming from God’s throne REMEMBER Remember me when I am gone away Gone far away into the silent land When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay Remember me when no more, day by day. You tell me of your future that you planned; Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for awhile And afterwards remember, do not grieve; For if the darkness and corruption leave, A vestige of the thoughts that once I had. Better by far you should forget and smile, Than that you should remember and be sad. and flowing down the middle of the city’s street. When we start to miss her, let’s remember how much happier she is, and be thankful she will not have to suffer from the evil of this world. God gave her to us for sixteen years. Let us be thankful for the time we had her, and let’s live our lives to the best we can so we can be with Charlotte and Jesus someday forever. by Trina Gossage 129 Clubs 131 Cobra Staff Drawing a final draft layout is Cynthia Haley.

(Not Pictured: Marlene Chenault - Reporter) The COBRA CHRONICLE was really begun under the inspiration of Cindy Kaney. who not only wanted to see Fountain Lake have a paper, but also worked hard to accomplish that desire. In spite of beginning late in the year and lacking experience, the staff still turned out a few good papers. With this feeble beginning, all the staff hopes that the Chronicle will grow next year into a publication which will be a credit to Fountain Lake School. By Mrs. June Smedley When the school year began last August. I was very much in doubt as to what the Student Council would do for the upcoming year. The members had the potential if they could only get going in the right direction. They finally did and a great many things were accomplished. They helped to promote school spirit during Homecoming week and finished up with a dance following the game. In December, they helped in a fund-raising benefit for Charlotte Shaw. After Basketball Homecoming another dance was given. Finally in the spring, they accomplished something more beneficial than anything. This was the Student Council Constitution. This constitution set down all the purposes, rules, and regulations pertaining to the Student Council. This will help future councils to know exactly what their duties are and what is expected of them. Words can’t really be spoken of my true feelings for this year's council. The seniors gave a great deal of leadership that was expected of them, and each officer and member served in his or her position very well. It makes a job much easier if you have a group who is willing to try. and that's exactly what this year’s council did. I want to say thanks to them for everything they did this year. I really appreciated it. By Mr. Glen Caldwell A A A ft T A f f Clubs 135 2 0 {a Q I u6 The purpose of the Beta Club is to promote scholarship, leadership, and good citizenship at Fountain Lake.

This year we inducted 35 members, and had 19 returning from last year. Each year the Beta Club has Teacher Appreciation Day. This is when the students take over as teachers and the teachers get to take a break. After this the Beta Club members do appreciate the teachers.

The old department has been renovated to include four kitchen units, a large classroom and sewing area, a dressing room, an office, and a utility room. To be eligible to join F.H.A. one must be enrolled in or have completed one semester in Home Economics. This year there are 44 members. FHA’ers have one money-making project yearly. The money is used for our Mother-Daughter Banquet and improvements in the equipment. 138 Clubs For membership in the Spanish Club a student must be presently taking Spanish or have taken Spanish. The purpose of the Spanish Club is to provide an opportunity for students to participate in activities related to Spanish. At Christmas the Spanish Club broke a pihata which had been stuffed with candy. Several attempts were made before the pihata finally broke open, and students began to quickly gather candy. Some members went to Pine Bluff for a flamenco dance program and skit, which was entertaining as well as educational. In addition to flamenco dancing we also had the opportunity to hear the Spanish guitar, the program was followed by a Mexican dinner in Pine Bluff, where students learned how good a guacamole salad tastes!

For twenty-three years some of the students of Fountain Lake have been participating in the S.C.A. Up until about twelve years ago, it was called the Young Christian's Club and we tried to have a program once a month as we do now. I believe the S.C.A. has helped the morale of our school a great deal over the years. Knowing the students and administration of our school, I believe it will continue to function and help our school even more in the future By Lewin Newcomb Middle School ' Student Council Fountain Lake Middle School elected a student council for the first time this year. Students campaigned for office by putting up posters, distributing tags, and praising their own or their candidates' virtues and abilities. The student council had their first fund-raising event which netted them $60.00. It was a concert held in the cafetorium. The money will be used to finance the eighth grade graduation every year.

This is a day in which students from grades kindergarten through the eighth participate in outside activities such as lawn darts, football kick, basketball free throw, softball pitch, and other events. The students compete against each other, and at the end of the day ribbons are awarded to winners from each event. The mothers of some students sell refreshments for the kids to enjoy while they are competing. Some high school students take on the job of helping keep records and other jobs in the different events.

Student Life 149 pnament pa 'bruary will y k’.umor Cobras continue to dominate Cobras By I KIN 7JSRN S r in«4-Reco d Sports fd� o� Sometimes, with all the whoopla over the teams from higher classifications, the smaller schools might be overlooked by the public, but Fountain Lake High School has been winning basketball games more consistently and with more style than most teams in the state. Next to the Arkansas’ number one Sinele A school. Marma-duke (which received its top billing on this week’s Associated Press prep poll) and the Jessieville Lions, Fountain Lake has won more games than any other team in the state, .both senior boys and senior girls. Ronnie Marvel, eight-year head coach for the Cobras, appears pleased with the type of basketball his 5A leaders are playing these days. His varsity boys team currently owns an 18-2 mark, while his varsity girls are undefeated after 19-0 appearances. He attributes his two varsity teams' success this year, as well as in years past, to the spirit of his athletes and the fan support present at each game. Two years ago. Fountain Lake graduated from a B school to an A school, as the Arkansas Activities Association moved all non-football institutions in to the lower classification. The Cobras, which do play football, joined the 5A conference and since their arrival, not one team has been able to defeat them. The varsity boys lost their first game of the year to the Jessieville Lions, a team they will play again Friday night in Jessieville. The other loss came from the hands of Ouachita High School during the final round of the Magnet Cove Invia-tional Tournament in December. Both teams are outside the conference 13 3 The varsity girls, however, nave not been threatened this year ...and Marvel feels they may have a chance at doing something few teams even dream of...going undefeated in 25 games. “Our girls team is talented,” Marvel said Thursday afternoon. ‘It’s possible, however, that they could lose to Jessie-ville. But that wouldn’t matter in the conference race. Carla Ritter is our outstanding forward on the offensive side 1 look to her for her leadership, since she’s a senior,” he added. ‘On the defensive side, we count on Sherry Stevens. Both of them were selected on the all-District team last year.” Speaking of last year, both the varsity boys and varsity girls went 16-0 during the 1977-78 basketball campaign. The varsity boy Cobras own a two-game lead in the conference...followed closely by the Mountain Pine Red Oevils in second place. Marvel worries more about his mewn than women (he coaches both teams as well as the junior high clubs). Our boys team plays too, inconsistently.” Marvel said. ‘We should have won the two games we lost, but we were inconsistent ..that’s been our main problem this year. We haven’t lost a conference game since we entered and we’re hoping that we can continue that tradition for the rest of our six games, he added. ‘‘Ouachita edged us out in the finals of the Magnet Cove Tournament by one point, 57-56, but we should have won. This game Friday will be a big game for us since Min take and Jessieville are big rivals.

He is, however, confident in his two teams and feels hance at winning the titles. season, just a couple games shy of play during a season, Marvel’s part of the campaign, will be devoted to the regional high school district tourna-tourney.

I think that we have a successful program out here and I’m proud of the kids and the fan support.” he added. ‘‘Our goal is to win every game we possibly can and to take the division title again this year.” At 18-2, or 11-0 in conference play for the boys and 19-0, or 11-0 in division action, for the girls.. .Marvel and company may be heading for that chance to bring home the titles.
