Q v Aa vi Staff spirit Victoryg faculty battle cry We got spirit, yes we do . . is a genuine cheer coming from the faculty section at the pep rallies. From English teachers to typing instructors, a group of 10 to 15 teachers, mostly women, attended the pep rallies weekly. They erupted the gym with their own battle cry and decorated it with orange shirts and signs of encouragement. To urge attendance, Mrs. Mary Atkins and Mrs. Sarah Gomez put notes in the teachers' boxes on Friday mornings. The pep rallies werent the end of their spirit. Classrooms were decorated with orange and black symbols. Mrs. Thelma Hill and Mrs. Dolores Webb had a Buff Stuff bulletin board consisting of sports calendars and other spirited emblems. Teachers also displayed support by dress- ing up. Mrs. Barbara Akers characterized Fif- ties Day by wearing rolled up jeans with a baggy shirt and school jacket, while Mrs. Gomez and Mrs. Atkins took a more formal approach with evening gowns.

V' iv .xxx ,F 1, Assistant principal Tom Watkins is disappointed in students' lack of spirit at pep rally. Watkins, he's no 'Angell' On Campus suspension retuliutes by Rusty Biles Upon entering assistant principal Thomas Watkins' office, most students carrying disciplinary forms were not fearing getting licks, but had a feeling of depression towards the dreaded on-campus suspension class that would lead to their punishment. Since the transition between Mr. Watkins and assistant principal joe Angell, there has been a different attitude towards student misconduct. Mr. Watkins, along with assis- tant principals joAnn Kelley and Ed Logan, started a strict OCS program, which eliminated most paddling. I don't bust them unless they request it, said Mr. Watkins, but disposing of licks didn't make him an Angell, The OCS Pro- gram had very strict rules, only allowing two visits to the restrooms each day and no talk- ing. According to Mr. Watkins this method of punishment was developed to help pre- vent repreated acts of student misconduct, and it did . . . With this new discipline pro- gram malcontent quickly drained from ex- perienced OCS students, Mr. Watkins, like Mr. Angell, graduated from Haltom and both played football, Mr. Angell, as a senior, was a guard on the varsi- ty team, while sophomore Watkins was the center on the junior varsity. Mr. Watkins was assistant principal at Watauga junior High for six years before transferring to Haltom. 'l'hey're kids, no better or no worse than I expected, There are bad kids wherever you go, but there are some excellent ones too, said Mr. Watkins, referring to his move to Haltom. Mr. Angell transferred to North Oaks junior High to be assistant principal. Many students liked the manner of his disciplinary action, which usually resulted in paddling or staying after school, but those who visited the new law enforcer's office found that Mr. Watkins was no Angell,

Mrs. Fisher, French teacher, replaced Mrs. Rachael Toornbs, who transferred to Richland. Mrs. Fisher went to school in France at the University of Strasbourg for one semester in 1976. While she was there, she visited numerous places including Paris and the Alps. France is a lot different, said Mrs, Fisher, like when you buy a chicken over there, you get the whole chicken, head and everythingfi The French Club had quite a few parties, but they also were going to Quebec and Montreal over the Easter Holidays. The trip included flying to Quebec and visiting the Cathedral and an underground city with sub- way, taking a boat trip down the St. Lawrence River and going toboganning. Then flying to Montreal and visiting a French school and the Montmarency Falls, which are larger than the Niagra Falls, and visiting a homemade bread and butter farm and several other old buildings, churches, and museums. The trip lasted for five days and the total cost of the vacation amounted to 55460 per person, but to help cover the expenses the club sold French candy. Although the trip to Quebec was an im- portant event, it wasn't the club's main con- cern because only eight students went and Mrs. Fisher had wanted to involve the whole group. Her main objective was to create in- terest in learning a foreign language and ex- pose the students to French culture. Learning another language helps you understand your own language and enables you to communicate with other people in different countries, stated Mrs. Fisher. Several students corresponded to pen pals in different countries to help learn more about French culture. The first year at Haltom was busy for Mrs. Fisher. Besides handling the French Club, she also taught a sophomore English class and sponsored Future Teachers of America. 7? i We 3. ,,,, .. ,fl W... Q Zi 2 , if f aaa '-, ,gre .W 01 in Q3 vm. aa..
