'QQ-,.e!s V Herd tracks down season Scoring points ut every meet, distance runners strongest point By Christy Angle Thirteen records, some dating as far back as 1969 were erased from the school record books to make room for the '80-'81 pace set- ters. Leading the way were seniors Tony Landry and Gene Hensarling, junior Teresa Nabors, and sophomores Debra Richardson, who all qualified Tarrant County Best. Lan- dry was later named State Best in the high jump topping 6 foot, 8 inches. Both the girls and boys' track teams con- sisted mostly of sophomores and juniors. Boys' track coach jay Thompson stated, With such a large group of sophomores we took things from a new start. Girls' track coach Arthur Tribble also commented, If all the sophomores and juniors return, we should have an excellent team. Distance events prevailed as the strong point for both teams, who consistantly scored points at every meet. Although district left the girls in fifth place over all, individual efforts resulted in several ribbon winners. In the 3200 meter Richardson placed third and Darla Taylor managed to get sixth. Nabors brought home first in the 800 meter run and Carrie Hart fifth. Richardson and Nabors captured se- cond and fifth consecutively. Setting a new school record of 4:26, the 1600 meter relay team made up of Carla Taylor, Angela Davidson, Hart and Nabors placed fifth. joanna Hooker took first also in the high jump.

2 WILD 'N CRAZY Quick! Do you have a photographerf Mr. Copeland, that gorgeous coach with the blue eyes, is going to surprise Mrs. Mize with a birthday kiss. Were piercing the ears of a 90-year-old lady. We know what a good sense of humor you have. We want to take a picture to sur- prise Mr. Hagmannf' Theres a pick-up on fire in the parking lot. We have some award winners. Please come take a picture. So, experienced and inexperienced pho- tographers were dispatched from the journal- ism room to take pictures of everything from groups to Rodney Greenlee sitting at Princi- pal Leon Hagmann's desk. Barring improperly mixed chemicals, the batteries not being weak. the camera not being focused and other technical problems, a printable negative would result. But, there was a time someone poured color developer into a tank of black-and-white film and the time the camera scratched the film as it rolled through to the take-up reel. not to mention chopped-off heads and streaks and thin or over-exposed negatives. Being a yearbook photographer also meant not being in pictures, Sometimes des- perate. they would pose for each other. say at the Buffalo Den. but the editor would not use those pictures. Being a photographer also meant trekking across town to a cancelled track meet, or using valued gasoline to cover meetings and field trips and sporting events. Quickl Do you have a photographer! Yes, we do. Lori Talley and Mark Schertz goof off in Mrs. Nataline Whitfield's sixth period class Cafeteria worker Sue Thompson atlxertises an associates age on her day of birth.
