Taog 87 Evading the “Bad Guys Frankie Smith moves downfield to assist the Goats in the quest for the bi-district title. Groesbeck High School P.O. Box 559 Groesbeck, TX. 76642 Volume Captioning pictures for the yearbook deadline are Tammie Nicholson, Candace Drummond, Miranda Brooks, and Kim Capps. . . . 50 years old. Well, almost. This TAOG represents the 50th year memories have been captured in a GHS yearbook. And have we grown and changed. The first TAOG was a small brown paperback book. The cover is shown on the back of this TAOG. In those fifty years we have grown in a rich tradition. Our class day includes seven periods. Students take advanced classes like trigonometry and physics, creative classes like theater arts and work classes like DE and VAC. Technology has invaded our school as computers are used not only in computer classes, but also in regular classes and in the library. Yes we are different from those students fifty years ago in many ways, but we all have one thing in common — memories we share of GHS. By sewing, people save money. Jennifer Garrett represents this with this two-tone skirt with silver studs. A new class, computer concepts, offers a contrast with the class of fifty years ago. The class is working on IBM’s. Opening Contents □ Student Life People Academics Organizations Sports Advertising Opening Fifty years ago, students didn't have cars like we do today. In fifty more years, I think it will be nothing like it is today! Kim Capps Senior Celebrating the Homecoming victory Angie Jones and Frankie Smith dance at the Homecoming dance held by the Seniors. Stou Student Life Division £i£et That Was Then . . . In Fifty Years Yes we are the students that make the memories, the laughter and the tears that echo down the halls of GHS. We attend school nine months each year for seven and a half hours a day. Some spend more time at school, some less. Over the years changes are made. GHS has seen many changes in the last fifty years. New state laws have made their changes felt during the past few years and advances in transportation and communication have caused many changes in student activities. Students of GHS had this to say about the way things were then and the way they will be in fifty years. Christa Shultz said that she would have hated to do all the math work without being able to use a calculator. Stacy Len-amond and Tonya Meredith agreed that the clothes were probably one of the biggest changes in students then and now. Carl Henderson said that they had to walk and carry their lunches and he is sure that they did not take as many tests as we do. Everyone thought that the school in fifty years would be much more advanced. They had ideas from robot teachers to jet cars. Some thought that GHS would be a 4A or 5A school by then. Melissa Wilson said In fifty years schools will probably be completely computerized. It's going to be 'spacey'! Student Life Division LS Disappointed? Never! Over 2,000 Goat fans attended the Homecoming 1986 football game. They were not disappointed because the Goats defeated the Teague Lions with the score being 29-0. Joseph McNeil, a senior varsity football player, said, It was a great feeling to win the last Homecoming football game that I'll ever play at G.H.S. The bonfire was planned for Thursday night but was cancelled due to bad weather. LaDonna Henderson, said It was a big disappointment not having the bonfire but it was a great Homecoming anyway. The band boosters donated red balloons that band members released at the kick off. Stephen Shultz, a four year band member, said, Homecoming was a time for old friends and classmates to return home and see each other and to talk about old times and past memories. After the game, the Senior class room parents sponsored the dance at the Civic Center with Mobile Light and Sound as deejay. Leading the varsity football team, center Howie Tipton crashes through the sign. Homecoming Paying homage to the flag as the band plays the anthem, the Goats prepare for the game. After the victory over Teague, Melissa Rhodes celebrates at the dance given by the seniors. Stacy Reickenbacker and Sean Turgeon share happy moments while dancing to a popular tune. Football sweethearts and nominees were Kim Capps, Melissa Rhodes, Sharon Tatum, Sheila Graves, and Candace Drummond. Trumpeteer Stephen Shultz plays his rendition of Bryan Adam's Heaven at halftime. Homecoming Homecoming 1986 Homecoming 1986 - a time for thoughts of now, memories of then and dreams for the future. In visiting my alma mater it became apparent that 'Groesbeck High School was still alive and well. The students were lively, friendly and had a sparkle of excitement in their eyes and a bounce to their walk. Yes, school spirit was definitely in the air, just as it had been in all school activities in '36, my senior year. In today's school world students attend classes for one hundred sev- enty-five days and classes are offered to students ranging from three to twenty-one years of age, with the regular student required to attend grades one through twelve and also pass a state TEAMS exit level test before receiving a high school diploma. Nowadays , students arrive on the elementary campus chauf-fered by their moms. When they reach sweet sixteen and have finished Driver's Ed, they zoom onto the high school campus in their own vehicle - Cadillacs to pick-up trucks, four speeds to overdrive. Back in the “good ole days of the 30's, when I was in school, “reading, riting and rithmetic were definitely the essential elements: and the school superintendent, Mr. Whitehurst, and our parents made sure that our classroom behavior was “modified to learn what the teacher taught. They were sure that we demonstrated respect for school rules, property and authority. Audio-visual equipment consisted of teacher, chalk, chalkboard and eraser. Our assignments were written on the chalkboard and there were no de- This space is reserved for you to record your homecoming memories. You could write your story on it or you might want to let all those people who helped make your homecoming special sign their name in this space. Homecoming Time For Creating Memorie: lays of instruction due to mechanical failure of a copying machine. Several classes of students might share one teacher or even a classroom, but we never had to stand in line at the school cafeteria - there was none. So, we brown-bagged it. Just as today, there were country kids and town kids - smart kids and those who had to dig to learn. There were kids who worked hard and completed eleven grades and graduated. There were those who worked hard, but due to family cir- cumstances, had to drop out. Then there were those, as now, who just dropped out. As I sat and watched the students walk by, the football teams file on the field, the cheerleaders jump and heard the bands play and the crowd shout, a quick thought of the future passed through my mind. 1 suddenly realized that whether Seniors of '36 or Seniors of '87, we all share one thing in common - MEMORIES. Memories of school days at GHS, football games, test days, friendships, slumber parties, teachers, spelling bees, gold stars, the senior prom and graduation day, and now a new, and perhaps the best memory of all - Homecoming '86, which was attended by 23 of the 48 members of my 1936 graduating class. I had the pleasure of being the typist for the FIRST TAOG. Thanks dear ole GHS for the contribution you have made to the lives of students through the years. Thanks for the memories we all share Marvis Engram Sherrod Class of 1936 0 P Homecoming Accompanied by mascot Molly Reagan, the varsity cheerleaders ride atop Chris Wilson’s truck. Led by twirlers Kim Copeland and Gianetta McGilvray the Red Regiment march along Highway 1 4 during the annual homecoming parade. Junior varsity cheerleaders participate in the parade by riding, smiling, waving, and throwing candy to the kids in the crowd. Portraying the role of Little Miss Muffett, Shelli Bangs represents the freshman class by riding on their float. The float placed third. Jack and the Beanstalk was the theme of the sophomore float ridden by Robert Clemons. The float placed first in the school competition. Homecoming It's Story Time It may have looked like a college bowl parade with the extravagant floats, but it was really just the Groesbeck Homecoming parade. Two weeks before the parade, room mothers, cheerleaders, football players, and various other members of the surrounding community began preparing for the activities that accompany Homecoming. The parade was almost a mile long and involved about 40 entries. The theme of the parade was “Storybook Characters Come to Homecoming. High school entries included a float from each class, three convertibles with the football sweetheart and nominees. Rather than the annual sweetheart float, the sweetheart and nominees and escorts rode in convertibles. Goldilocks and the Three Bears was the chosen storybook for the junior class float which placed second in school float competition. Tami Ussery completed the Cinderella float prepared by the senior room mothers and sponsors. It placed fourth in its division. Homecoming Losing themselves to the music. Missy Badgett. Tony Raglin and Tommy Jefferson jam’ . Freshman Cindy Cravey and Bubba Fulmer attend the Howdy dance, their first high school dance. Taking a break at the Howdy dance held by the Student Council these students take a break and visit with each other. It Ain’t Cool a hit tune sung by George Strait provides two-stepping music for Kim Capps and Chris Wilson. Dancing After posing for pictures and hearing Christmas wishes Santa finally takes a break and dances with Mrs. Bogard. Our first exchange student from Italy, Sylvia Mancini, experiences American dancing styles at the Howdy dance. Leaving the every day hustle-bustle routine, Mr. and Mrs. Hoel join the students and enjoy themselves at the Christmas dance. Yes We Jammed Yes we jammed”! Throughout the year there were various dances held by different organizations. The Student Council sponsored the Howdy Dance. The theme was Jam Out” in which the students wore jams and Hwaiian clothes. Deejaying this dance was Mobile Sound and Light from Waco. The Christmas Dance, which is a formal affair, was also sponsored by the Student Council and deejayed by Deja Vous. The theme was ''Kids Christmas and Bob Zeman dressed up as Santa Claus and posed for pictures. The senior class room parents sponsored the annual Hoemcoming Dance at the Civic Center with Mobile Sound and Light as deejay. The sophomore class sponsored a Valentine's Dance at the Almost Hard Rock Cafe, a new teen club in Groesbeck. Sean Turgeon, a senior at G.H.S., was deejay. The dances gave the students a chance to get away from the everyday grind and to relax and be with friends. But even more important they gave students something to remember. Dancing A crafty new idea became an instant hit. Bandanas brought new life to Shelly Lummus' brightly colored sweatshirt. Long jackets called dusters became a big hit this year. Chris Wilson, Kim Chrisley. and Tray Lamar model them. Ropers in all colors of the rainbow and in different shades of brown could be matched with anything. Fashion Flashback Many of the styles in 1986 were similar to the styles back in the 60’s and 70s. Long skirts and their opposites, mini skirts, were in style again. For the guys, flat tops became very popular. Button-fly jeans were also a big fad. What would students wear if it was the year 2000 and they had a Back to the 80s Day at school. Cristi Novak said she would wear a long skirt and an over-sized blouse. She wasn't sure what shoes she'd wear, but she said they would be exotic. Shawn Swenson said he would wear a pair of Guess jeans, a polo shirt and a pair of Reebok tennis shoes. For the western look, long denim jackets and duster jackets were popular. Ropers of all different colors were worn. Kim Chrisley said she would wear her long denim jacket and a pair of ropers. Chris Wilson said he would wear his red ropers, west- ern shirt, and his duster jacket. Not all styles reflected the past. The latest fad was silver jewelry, shoes, belts, purses, and other accessories. One student's idea for what she'd wear was unique. Yvette said, My role model would be Frankie Smith. I admire hime and the others guys on the football team for their accomplishments. Fads Fashions Black 501 Levi's, which gave a “preppy look, were a style that Shawn Swenson brought from Houston. The girl with the most swatches, Cristi Novak, models the big, blousy shirts and long skirts seen around G.H.S. The 2 jersey was a fashionable sight seen on the football field this year. Senior Yvette Chapa models this jersey. Faded denim is slowly replacing dark blue denim. Trina Walker buys a coke dressed in the faded denim Guess clothes.

On the evening of May 9th, Groesbeck seniors and juniors and their guests met at the Old Oakes Country Club in Mexia. There they spent A Night Under the Stars . Music was provided by On the Town . From 8 to 12 students danced, ate, listened to the class wills and prophecy and visited. Shawn Stone said The prom was a night I'll always remember. Barry Johnson thought The prom was really great. Melissa Rhodes commented, The prom was fun. It's kind of sad knowing it's the last prom I'll ever attend. Senior Jody Goodman encourages everyone to relax and enjoy their night under the stars. Taking a break from the fun, Barry Johnson, Shannon Amason, Gayla Capps and Sean Turgeon flash the camera a few smiles. Prom Watching from the sidelines, Reggie Smith and friends enjoy the antics of the people on the dance floor.

Prom People 'PeafoCef Creating The Memories Again Yes we are the students that make up the good memories, the laughter that echoes down the halls, and even the bad memories. We attend school nine months for seven and a half hours a day. Over the years things change and through the last fifty years, Groes-beck High has seen many changes, including a change of location and consolidation. Though school buildings and rules change, students follow many of the same traditions. There is still the socializing in the halls at the locker today as in years gone by. There are still homework assignments and tests. Excitement still fills the air on Fridays before football and basketball games; and there are still the mixed emotions that occur at graduation. Some things will never change. We predict that students will still complain about work and find ways to escape and party. 4 A Smooth Operation Groesbeck ISD is governed by a seven member board. Led by President Bill Sadler, the board sets all policy decisions for the school district. These men set the budget each year and decide how to best spend the district's money. Leading the central office staff is Mr. E. S. Ellis. Mr. Ellis has served as superintendent, business manager, principal, teacher and coach during his years in public education. Mrs. Ann Motal serves as secretary to the superintendent. Curriculum decisions are super- vised by Ms. Frances Whitehurst who is in her second year as director of curriculum and instruction. Finances are handled by Business Manager Dwane Shropshire and his staff. Linda Meredith and Alaine Hughes assist in the business office. Deborah Sims also assists in that office and is in charge of attendance. The smooth operation of the school district, both at high school and at the other schools, is due to these people. A large part of Ms. Frances Whitehurst’s day is spent in visiting the four school campuses to assist teachers in their rooms. As business manager, Dwane Shropshire spends many hours coding school purchase orders and entering information into the computer. Central Administration Mr. Ellis always arrives at school early so that he can have a few minutes of quiet to read his mail and plan his busy day. Mrs. Ann Motal’s work load as secretary to the superintendent not only includes routine typing and filing but also school payroll. Among the most pleasant duties of the school board was the ground breaking for a new high school. Members are Bill Sadler, Ronnie Driskell, Tom Hawkins, K.S. Tucker, Herbert G. Wilson, Michael Wells, and Doug Rand. Linda Meredith’s desk is piled high most days with purchase orders for the district which she must mail, file or pay. Deborah Sims enters the attendance records for the high school, junior high, and middle school into the computer each day. Joining the business office. Alaine Hughes is responsible for shutting down the computer system at the end of the day. Central Administration Efficient Secretary School secretary Linda Collins double checks her work at her desk. Few activities are completed without interuption from either students or teachers. She is responsible for accounting for all money turned in by clubs and classes, typing school menus and bulletins to teachers, and answering the ever-ringing phone among other things. This was the first year Mrs. Collins was the high school secretary. Concerned Counselor Counselor Sandra Matthews is in her second year as high school counselor. Her office is open to students who have problems or just need someone to talk to. Among her duties are scheduling, testing, and assisting students in filling out college and scholarship applications. She often finds the phone to be the most helpful means of communicating with parents and colleges. Supervising the SAC Mrs. Jean Neason is a familiar face to GHS students and faculty alike. She served for several years as the high school secretary and now is in control of SAC (Special Assignment Class). This is the last year Mrs. Neason will be working at GHS. Her years of hard work and assistance are appreciated. Office Staff Though his desk is often mounded with paper work, Mr. Hoel takes time to write personal notes to students on their birthdays. Participating in community activities, Mr. Schimschat has become a local favorite in the annual Groesbeck Red Stocking Follies. Number 1 Leadership It is often said that an organization is only as good as its leader. At GHS, we depend on the leadership of Principal Mike Hoel. Serving in his fourth year as principal, Mr. Hoel spends time each day in the hall keeping in touch with the students. Mr. Hoel is assisted by Assistant Principal Gary Schimschat. Mr. Schimschat has the formidable duties of maintaining school discipline and checking attendance. Together, with the help of the office staff, these men keep GHS on track. Administration ADAMS.

Faculty Causing A Budget Crisis? Budget files disappear. Vocies are raised. Deals are made. Is there really a budget crisis? Economics comes to life in Mrs. McCoy's economics class as the seniors assume government identities and goals. According to Mrs. McCoy Ask any senior how a bill becomes law through the budget process and he could talk for hours. This type of learning is exciting to watch!

Library Gets An Updating Through the time and effort of librarian Joy Foshee, the library at GHS experienced a new look. All library books have been coded so that they can now be checked out though the library computer system. This management system keeps up with where the books are at all times and prints the overdue list. In addition, a computer lab of four computers has been installed in the library for student and teacher use. Word processing and SAT practice tests will be available among other things. A librarian's work is never done. Ms. Foshee assists students and teachers in finding the information they need.

Julie's favorite moments were cheering at the first pep rally and going to the homecoming dance. To keep on the honor roll and out of too much trouble were Todd’s two goals for high school. The most memorable moments were when Coach Prince told me I was playing varsity football and when we went to playoffs, said Sedrick. Scoring 24 points in the Mexia basketball game was Scott's favorite memory. Making cheerleader, the first pep rally, and the homecoming dance were Leigh Ann's favorite moments. LeAnn Wilson's two goals were to make good grades and to make the flag corps.

Benny Nevels, the only blind student at GHS, will spend four weeks in Austin preparing for his two week stay in Europe where he will attend a jazz festival. Benny says that winning this trip is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to him. Benny believes that the most important thing he's learned is to maintain a good attitude and treat people with respect. LaRita Lockhart has had the most impact on my life because she is one of the few people who likes me for myself and not because I'm blind, says Benny. He thinks that his hobbies would include basketball and football if he could see, but since he can't, band is an activity he enjoys. Benny considers his teachers as his most valued possession. His most important goal to achieve in high school besides graduation is to master the computer. His favorite hour of the day is fifth period because he gets to work with computers. Benny doesn't like being the only blind student and feels the hardest part is not usually having a girlfriend. Benny likes being himself and wouldn't want to be anyone else. After all, who else is getting a six week fun vacation?

If I've learned one thing in the last four years , said Gary, it's to be yourself because you are an original. The Mexia football game of her junior year will always stand out said Candace Drummond. Mr. Hoel showed it was important to stand behind a team when they are losing. The Mexia game this year is Ronald's favorite memory. He had two interceptions, one that resulted in a touchdown. The man most admired by Mark was his father. Mark said he worked hard, went out of his way to make sure he had the best, and believed in him. Kim wants to remember cheering for the best football team that GHS has ever had. Favorites Seniors-Seniors-Seniors-Seniors-Seniors-Seniors-Seniors-! GILES. CHRISTOPHER JOEL: FT A 9-12.

Jennifer Jones and Candace Drummond strike a pose with cartoon character Bugs Bunny. Melissa Rhodes is surprised when she answers someone calling her name. In reponse, a flash bulb popped in her eyes. Even the biggest fun-lovers have to stop and eat. These seniors relax, eat and plan their next adventures. .581 Senior Trip Amazingly enough, Gary Vestal and Shawn Swenson still had energy to clown around the early morning. Some students, like Bonnie Brown, were ready to get on the bus and head for home. Finding her seat she readies herself for the long trip. Reggie Smith, Joseph McNeil, Tim Smith and Henry Jones are ready and waiting for the bus to take them home after their busy night. A Night Of Fun When is it permissible for seniors to let loose and act like elementary students for the entire evening? During the senior trip to Six Flags, of course. Each year seniors dress in shorts, jeans, caps and tennis shoes and prepare to get wet and wild. This year's class was no exception. Senior sponsors have to be good sports. Through the ups and downs and splashes of the rides. Mrs. Jill Harryman can still smile on the way back. Senior Trip Processionals Processionals. Those activities when one marches into an activity in an orderly fashion. For seniors, the mark of the end. There are two activities that these words describe: class day and commencement. Both of these events were held in the gymnasium this year. Class day was held in the afternoon as usual. Awards were presented to the seniors as well as to some underclassmen. Graduation was held inside to the disappointment of many. The ceremony on the football field was changed due to the rain. Both activities were filled with emotion as the seniors ended one phase of their lives and began another. Before graduation exercises begin, counselor Sandra Matthews lines up the seniors. Rhone Renfroe asks a last minute question. An opportunity to visit becom . precious when the realization that there will not be many more chances like this hits the seniors. Class day exercises, procided over by Principal Mike Hoel, marks the end of high school days for the senior class. Award presentations are made. Outstanding athlete. Frankie Smith, receives his award and waits for Jack Hawkins to take his picture before returning to his seat. Class Day Graduation Smiles of relief appear as the senior line comes closer and closer to crossing the stage and having that long-awaited diploma in hand. Mass confusion occurs once the graduation exercises are over. Graduates try to make their way out of the seats to meet family and friends. The importance of the moment is suddenly felt by Sharon Tatum and Reggie Smith as they enter the gymnasium at the beginning of the exercises. In a final gesture of unity and school spirit, the senior class raises their hands and sings the words of the Groesbeck school song. The stage becomes a crowded place when all the scholarship award winners are presented to the audience and their scholarships are announced. Graduation Sports Sft it f Reviving That Goat Pride Victorious. Yes we were victorious as we reached new heights in athletic achievements. Highlighted by the successful football season, the GHS athletic department received several honors throughout the year. Both teams and individuals continued to put the name of Groes-beck in the news. Lance Browning qualified for the state Cross Country meet. The Goat football team captured regional honors. Spring teams continued the growth of Goat pride. The Lady Goats track team qualified for regional competition in five events. Sheila Graves captured state honors. Frankie Smith, Rodney Smith and Fred Smith qualified for the Boys' Regional track meet. The Boys Tennis team won its second straight District title. Seven members advanced to regional competition. Chris Rand competed in singles while Rob Franks and Scott Wilson, Kenny Hollingsworth and Stewart Clancy, and Richondra Williams and Staci Williams represented the school in doubles. Whether in victory or defeat, the athletes at GHS promoted school pride wherever they went. We're The Goats The Best In District 17-AAA? Yes We Were The Goats fooled all the predictions by taking the District 17AAA title with 5-1 district record and an overall record of 7-2. The team won the first district championship since 1974. They won the first bi-district championship since 1942. They captured the school's first area championship and advanced further in the state playoffs than any team in GHS history. Among their other accomplishments, they were the first Goat team to defeat a Crockett football team and the first to play on artificial turf. They also played in front of the largest single game crowd - 9500 at Baylor Stadium against Cameron. The game that perhaps meant the most though was the regular season finale against rival Mexia. Relaying on their defense and taking advantage of Mexia errors, the Goats were victorious by a margin of 17-8. Varsity Football.

Frankie ran for 1246 yards during the season and maintained a 5.6 average and scored twelve touchdowns. The Goat defense hustles off the field after completing their usual task of holding the opposing team. The average points scored against the Goat defense was 9.9 for the year. Led by senior center Howie Tipton, the Goat team breaks through the Homecoming sign made by the cheerleaders and takes the field to the cheers of the capacity crowd. Varsity Football Are We The Team That Made Groesbeck History? Yes We Are Playoff action increased the excitement in Groesbeck. Playing in the first playoff game since 1974, the Goats defeated the San Augustine Wolves, 13 to 6. In capturing the bi-district title, the team became the first Goat team since 1942 to win a bi-district game and to advance beyond the first round of the state football playoffs. A large Groesbeck crowd traveled to Palestine and braved the cold weather to witness the historical victory. The next stage in playoff action involved the Area championship. The Goats traveled to Spring where they met a tough Kirbyville team. Kirbyville Wildcats were tamed by the Goats with a final score of 25 to 14. For the first time the Goats played on artificial turf. The next game would also be played on artificial turf. This time fans did not have to travel far. Baylor Stadium provided the backdrop for the regional playoff game. The Goats held a 14-13 lead with 1:27 left in the game. However, the Yeomen of Yoe High School in Cameron rallied and scored a final touchdown to win by a margin of 19-14. Football Playoffs Waiting for the block, Kenneth Gibson runs to the outside. Kenneth averaged 6.4 yards per carry and scored 4 TDs. ■ y After the loss to Cameron, the team came together for the last time as Coach Prince spoke to them and led the prayer. In position behind center, quarterback Henry Jones looks over the defense as he calls the signals for the team.

The team ended the season with an 18-10 record. They were third in the final 17AAA district standings.

Yes We Were In early August, while the football players Care beginning their practice session and while the band is learning to march, another practice is going on. Volleyball begins quiet-ly in the gymnasium. The crowds at the games are small and the team does not often win yet, but regardless they go on and work and try and learn. Outside after school, running along Big Hill Road is another group of athletes. They run quietly and almost unnoticed. They compete mostly on Saturdays. At the district meet this year Lance Browning placed first with a time of 17:44. Lance attended regionals and state. Teammates Adam Larmore and Kevin Sanders came in a respectable 8th and 13th. Cross Country Did We Make Progress? Yes, We Did Baseball- the sport that marks the end of the school year. After the excitement of football and basketball and interwoven into the track season comes baseball. Groesbeck has not always had a baseball team. So it caused special pride to see three players named to the All-district team. Leading the honors was Nathan Orrick, who was named 1st team all-district pitcher. Since the team consisted mostly of underclassmen, the GHS baseball program looks forward to a good year next year with more experienced players. Shortstop Mark Smith steps out of the dugout and prepares to bat. While on deck, he watches the game closely. mti- mm. Baseball Varsity Baseball.

Yes We Could The Boys Tennis team swept to its second straight District 17AAA championship. They captured five of the six available individual births at the Regional tournament. Highlighting the race for team championship was a first and second place finish in doubles. Rob Franks and Scott Wilson defeated teammates Stewart Clancy and Kenny Hollingsworth in the finals. Chris Rand became the fifth regional qualifier by placing second in the singles division. In the girl's division, Groesbeck was led by doubles team Richondra and Staci Williams. In winning doubles, they became the fourth straight girls double team district title won by Groesbeck. In girls' singles, Missy Badgett defeated teammate Cayce Clay to capture the consolation title. In junior varsity action, Groesbeck dominated by winning two first places and two second places. David McCaleb defeated Todd Swick to win first place in singles. Girls doubles action saw the team of Paula King and Trina Walker win without losing a single game. In girls' JV singles, Gifftane Carpenter took second place. Playing tennis requires not only concentration but also patience. These players visit as they wait for a court. Tennis Kenny Hollingsworth leaps to reach a long lob hit into his court by an opponent. The new courts provided room for tennis action. Doubles partner Staci Williams plays the back court and prepares to receive serve while her older sister Richondra plays up at the net. Tennis Did We Out Run Them? Yes, We Did The new track got its first full year of work. Both boys and girls track teams ran the track in anticipation of upcoming events. The hard work paid off when both the boys and girls teams won first at the First Annual Groesbeck Invitational track meet. Frankie Smith, Rodney Smith and Fred Smith qualified for Regionals. Of the three Frankie would advance to state and win first place there. Qualifying for the regional track meet from the Lady Goats were Shelia Graves, Sharon Tatum, Penny Young and the relay team of Rozzatta Jordan, Sharon Tatum, An-gelia Jones and Shelia Graves.

Track The varsity cheerleaders begin an early celebration in front of the scoreboard during the San Augustine playoff game. An emotional cheerleading squad and mascots are presented to the audience during the annual Sports Banquet. Cheerleaders Cold weather forced extra clothing for some of the squad but it could not keep the varsity cheerleaders from leading a cheer. GHS is number one was the chant at the Cameron game. Unfortunately it was the last time the cheerleaders would get to yell it. Varsity cheerleading squad included Molly Reagan, mascot, Paige Prince, mascot, Melissa Rhodes, Stacy Reichenbacher, Melissa Wilson, Kim Capps, Candace Drummond, Missy Badgett, Angie Jones, head, and Frances Alfaro. Were We Always There? Yes We Were Cheering at the games might be the only thing the crowd sees; but, there is more to being a cheerleader than just cheering at the games. In August, the cheerleaders attended camp at Sam Houston University in Huntsville. The varsity squad won two blue ribbons and a spirit stick. Camp is where the work and the closeness begins. Once camp is over the work continues. Practice each day helps reinforce the skills and cheers learned at camp. Signs must be designed and painted for each game. Pep rallies must be planned. Cheerleading is more than smiles and jumps. It's the work and the relationships that pull the squad together. Cheerleaders Time For Recognition The Area Championship Goat team was honored with a banquet at the Whitehurst Middle School. Coach Cap Prince served as master of ceremonies. Danny Sherrod, one of the team captains, gave the invocation. Guest speaker, Pete Fredenburg, defensive coordinator for Baylor, spoke to the players. Recognition was given to community supporters as well as presentations to the players and cheerleaders. A special feature of the evening was the showing of a color highlight video film prepared and produced by Randy Little and Sean McCullough. Following the introduction of the coaches, 9th and JV teams, certificates were presented to varsity players like senior Carl Jackson. Team captains Frankie Smith, Mark Smith, Henry Jones, and Danny Sherrod presented the championship football trophy to Mr. Mike Hoel. Football Banquet Everyone stood for the singing of the school song. This last show of unity by the team brought the championship banauet to a close. Head football coach Cap Prince paid recognition to those in the community who had been a vital part of the gridiron effort in the fall. Offensive Most Valuable Player Award was presented by Coach Jim Rector to senior Frankie Smith, who was named to the All-State team. Football Banquet Shelia Graves won a state championship at the track meet in Austin. Sheila won the AAA 100 meter dash title. She qualified for the meet by placing first in the Region III track meet. She was not defeated at any time during the season. On December 6th, the GHS Varsity Football team was honored with a mini-parade. A proclamation was read declaring the week of December 8-14 as Groesbeck Goats' Football Team Appreciation Week. After reading of the proclamation and words by Coach Prince the team departed on fire trucks waving to the crowd.

Lance qualified for state competition by capturing 1st place in the district meet and 7th place in the regional meet. Highlights Organization Division Active Participation Pecans, turkeys, hams, candy, and poinsettias were among the items sold by GHS organizations to raise money. Money was important to school organizations. Their funds allowed them to attend conventions and workshops and assist the community in service projects. Organizations not only earned money and participated in service projects, they also performed for the public and had fun. Thespians presented .their One Act Play. Band performed at half-time and held concerts. Yearbook and paper staffs reported the year's happenings. Spring brought out the fun. Banquets and picnics as well as trips to conventions highlighted the year. Organization Division Richondra Williams and Tommy Cole create the characters of Lydian and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Doug Virden, who assumed the role of Thoreau late, and received Best Actor, performs with Philip Matula. Missy Badgett, as Ellen Sewell, explains the situation to John Thoreau, played by Wesley Roark. Thespians Ready, Set, Action! Performance was the name of the game; and the Thespians played it well. They competed in three circuit competitions plus the UIL literary district meet. Seven entries advanced to regionals and one advanced to state. The One Act play competed in district, area and one UIL preparation tournament. In all they won a total of 40 awards. For these activities the group raised money by running all he basketball concession stands, holding a spaghetti supper, serving ice cream sundaes at lunch for two weeks and co-sponsoring a talent show.

Thespians Entertainment Plus The Red Regiment Band provided entertainment throughout the year. At pep rallies, the band added to the spirit of the school. During halftime, they entertained the community. They presented Christmas and spring concerts. In addition, they marched in parades and attended competitions. Tri-M, an honor organization, sponsored music merit awards for beginner and junior high band and provided the band hall with framed pictures of the band and flag corp. The best reward of the year came when we placed the largest number of students of any high school in district band. chosen by members of the band.

Sometimes a learning experience in a class leads the student to perform in the organizations. The most common groups of this type are the FFA and FHA organizations. Growing from the agriculture and homemaking classes, these groups have grown to be the largest groups in school. Another group re- lated to vocational classes is the DECA club. Related to the athletic classes are the many teams the schools support. Thespians are a subgroup of the speech and drama classes. These organizations provide the backbone of the groups we have come to depend on at school. Prom Steering Committee. Front row: Lori Lee, Traci Ussery, Curtis Collins, James Ellison, Jack King.

Amy O’Connell, Beth Harper, Staci Williams. Kirk Edwards. Casey Brock, Steve Franks and Lowery Guynes. We've tried to make progress in the curriculum by adding new classes. Mrs. Janet Shropshire Kit Giles and other seventh period Computer Concepts students solve problems using the language BASIC and the IBM computer lab. Academic Division rfcadeaUc The Basics Plus Extras Academics is one area that has seen considerable change in the last fifty years. Elective courses are offered in a varied array of areas. No longer is the student limited to 'reading, 'riting, and ’rithmetic. Class credit is given in vocational areas such as industrial arts, distributive education, agriculture and homemaking. Then we also have band, computers, theater, athletics and typing. Some changes have not been so popular. Students now must pass a test (TEAMS) before they can receive a diploma. Interruptions for pep rallies and assemblies are now limited. Teachers must adhere to a curriculum of essential elements in their classes. Regardless of the changes, academics remains the backbone of the school. Acadertftc Division Academics Meeting The Requirements Required classes seem to be the ones most students dread most. This may very well be because they are required. They also seem to always have homework connected to them. Under the new state guidelines, students are now required to take tour years of English, three years of mathematics, three years of history and two years of science. A freshman finds himself with few electives. In fact if he is involved in both athletics and band, there is only one elective left to choose. The seniors on the otherhand are faced with many electives. Only English IV and Government Free Enterprise are required. A c longer than any other. These students in Mrs. Ross’s Language Arts class wait for the bell. With her reading assignment for the day finished, Stephanie Wilson demonstrates some students' favorite escape, day dreaming. (G T3 Academics Personal Business Management class members look out the doorway at yearbook photographers. Others work at the computer. Choose Your Own Course Students used electives to increase their general knowledge, pursue an area ot interest, or prepare for their future. Most classes had students of all three types. In the area of special interests there were several choices. Vocational classes were offered in agriculture, industrial arts, distributive education, homemaking, theater arts and computers. These classes gave each student a chance to individualize his schedule so that it could best meet his needs. Academics Computer Concepts was one of the choices that students had for an elective. This class was a new course approved by TEA. First period band requires concentration, especially by percussionists, who must keep the beat for the rest of the group. Yearbook class provided the opportunity for leaving campus during the day when it came time for the ads to be sold in town. Academics Freedom To Choose Sometimes a student took a class just for fun. In otherwords, whether it turned out to be fun or not, the class was not an absolute necessity but rather an interest or curiosity. These classes may have been newspaper production or yearbook, woodworking, or theater arts. Other times, the elective was one for job or college preparation. These classes ranged from physics to agriculture, from typing to homemaking. The freedom to choose increased with the years in school. From the limited choice of two electives as a freshman the number increased to five the senior year. L m Honor students received their gold cords and special recognition at the spring National Honor Society installation banquet. Academics Reaching For The Top For those students who choose from the beginning of their high school years to reach the highest academic standards there are rewards. The long distance reward is of course a quality education and acceptance to the college of their choice. The road to that reward is not always easy. Along the way many of these students face the struggle of Advanced English IV, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science and Trigonometry. These classes are required to achieve the advanced diploma. Special recognition is given to some of these students at the Honor Society banquet held at the end of the year. Seated on stage at the Whitehurst Middle School, both the old and new members of the Honor Society receive recognition. Casey Brock and others must first survive Mrs. Nancy Reagan's Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry class before graduation. s4et people in the community. This new sign welcomes people to Groesbeck.

(MMot t V ROESBECK. nanri guts Ad Division A Comer On Support Perhaps during this year we have seen community support at an all time high. The enthusiasm of the school spread to the community and the results were great. Most GHS sporting events were played to packed crowds. Football fans followed the team relentlessly. Basketball fans crammed into the gym each week. With a new track behind the school, GHS was able to sponsor its first invitational track meet. Groups and individuals worked together to make it a success. Not only did they support us in this way, but they also supported us financially by buying ads and employing students. This year, more than ever, we cornered the market on community support. Ad Division The raen Portrait It's What You Want It To Be. The Varden Portrait is a timeless commemorative of your graduation.
