After all, less than a year ago he was one of those students sitting over by the wall talking to his friends. But now, only seven months after graduation, Haltom seemed like a different school. The kids sat in chairs instead of on wooden benches, walked across carpet, not tile, and watched cars go by on Car- son Street through floor-to-ceiling plate glass instead of small windowpanes. On the way to pick up books for his younger brother, he glanced toward what used to be the on-campus suspension room. On the door hung a sign that said, Principal - Mr. Tommy Hays. A new office had been built for a new prin- cipal. lt appeared that remodeling was not the only change Haltom had undergone. Digging in the messy locker for the right book, he figured that certain aspects of Haltom would never change. Yet as he left the building, he overheard a conversation that raised some doubt in his mind. Two girls happily discussed the junior varsi- ty football game that won the district title for the team. This sure was not the school he remembered. What had happened? l-laltom broke away from its old reputation of being the inferior school, and built up a new image of dignity and respect. The transformation originated when administrators decided that something had to be done to increase l-laltom's dropping enrollment. They, along with faculty and staff members, devised a long-range plan to upgrade physical appearance and facilities, and instill school spirit and a sense of pride back into Haltom. lj Senior Ray Clark entertains classmates while pretending to read in Mrs. Thelma Hill's developmental reading class. At the homecoming game against Burleson, varsity football players burst out of the breakthrough drawn by senior Byron West.

BREAK AWAY Accomplishments add up as carpet is laid down The slow process started last year when interior walls were painted, construction of a new athletic complex began, and the traditional Buffalo head was restored. Through the fall, workers added the finishing touches to the athletic complex, junior varsity football players struggled to achieve the district championship, and a new organization called Whiz Quiz tested its members' intellects in competitions against other schools' teams. After Christmas, construction crews extended the front foyer, put in carpet in the foyer and two halls, and installed an awning over the front steps and sidewalk. Varsity basketball players fought for the district title while track teams prepared for another record breaking season. Cases across from the main office displayed trophies and awards brought back from district and state contests. ln the spring, National Honor Society installed one of the largest groups in Haltom's history. Freshmen at the junior highs signed up to attend high school, and Haltom attracted 77 percent of Watauga students, which was a significant im- provement over last year's figure of 70 percent. Apparently the community had noticed the changes and realized that a transformation which would benefit the students was under- way at Haltom. l - By Kim Allen Senior Daren Partridge carefully observes the strategy of Buff defense during the varsity game against Arlington.

Computers, speakers, field trips liven up classes Somewhere amidst the confusion of participation in extra- curricular school activities, athletic practices, part-time jobs, and household chores, every student found the time to attend the necessary, but often monotonous, classes. Yet Haltom broke away from the usual process of education in several ways. Computer programs offered a new learning tool to students who took chemistry, biology, or mathematics. In many classrooms, new desks, chairs, and tables provided the student with more comfort and a new atmosphere in which to learn. Guest speakers sparked interest and more field trips gave students a broader knowledge of the subjects they studied. , As a result of those improvements, the average SAT score of Haltom students proved to be higher than the Texas average, as well as the Birdville district average. Also, Haltom installed 67 members, one of the largest groups in Haltom's history, into the National Honor Society.- ACADEMICS Listening to one of the two Russian imper- sonators, actually an area businessman, senior Raymond Barrett tests his knowledge of American history.

Opening the new books each fall is like Christmas for the whole school, Mrs. Cin- dy Edwards, librarian, said. Working as head librarian for the past two years, Mrs. Edwards said she loves selecting, ordering and purchasing new books and audio visual sets. Hired as a teacher's aide twelve years ago, Mrs. Pat Dyer, library assistant, said, They couldn't put me in a place I would love more. The library, with many uses, was an area for small assemblies, organizational meetings and classroom speakers. Representatives from the Spartan School of Aeronautics, Lincoln Institute, and Inter- nal .Revenue Service spoke to the voca- tional classes. Sponsored by the Reserve Officer Train- ing Corps, two Russian impersonators spoke to the government and American History classes on communistic philosophy. ' Using the library in another perspective, the school board and community leaders enjoyed a breakfast to honor Public Schools Week in March. Hosting an end of the year luncheon during both lunches, the Student Council revealed their year long secret pals. Immediately after the National Honor Society assembly all NHS members ac- companied by parents and teachers gathered in the library for cookies and punch. Organizing the Teenage Library Association Club provided a new ex- perience for the 23 library assistants. They chose Alice Moody as a district officer and local officers were James Blakely, presi- dent, Andy Coffey, vice-president, Alice, secretaryg and John Sutton, treasurer. At the district meeting in Everman, they received a second place in the poster con- test and chose Alice to represent the district as Miss TALA at the state meeting in Odessa. I like being around the books and get- ting a first selection to read the new ones, Alice said. s.,,- N1 - W.. . an-Q - -.. Each librarian has made good im- provements and everything changed has been to help the students, Mrs. Dyer said. Such changes as new shelves and a book charger used to check out books have made the library more efficient. More students have used the library - as well as more teachers, Mrs. Edwards commented. With improvements each year the library purchases S4-,000 worth of new books and 52,000 of AV materials. Working from 5:30 p.m. Kathy Brinkley, a student librarian, kept the library open twice a week for six weeks while juniors worked on their theme papers. TALA members sold 52.25 junior theme packets, consisting of such items as paper, index cards, and paper clips. During National Library Week the library assistants sponsored a Childrens Hour, in which they read books, sang, and provided refreshments for the second graders at Birdville Elementaryl Senior Executive Committee members Randy Lucas, Katrina Lewis and Christy Angle discuss senior prom plans with Mrs. LaDean Houck while looking over ballots for colors, flower and song.

X .nu-as xi Dreaded pre-college exams pay off Pre-SAT classes offered after school in areas of mathematics, English What's the most dreaded thing about school a student must face all the time? If ntests was the answer, the student's not alone. They are always there and they all have to be taken. They are designed to test a student on what he or she has learn- ed thus far in a subject. What about the PSAT? SAT? and the ACT? These are optional tests that students take either for a scholarship or ac- ceptance into a college. Which is which? Well the PSAT, the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, is designed to ready a stu- dent for the SAT. This test is composed of multiple choice questions concerning ver- bal and mathematics. The cost of the test is 54.50, and the students are allowed to keep the test booklets to see where they made mistakes and to study. TESTS For those who took the PSAT, the boys scored 39.8, and the girls scored 40.8. This was in the math section and was calculated by the 86 that took the test. The majority of the juniors' scores were above the national average. Senior Pete Ullman, who took the test in 1980, scored high enough to become a semi-finalist for the National Merit Scholarship. The ACT, American College Test, an alternative to the SAT, contains all the same material in addition to a science and history section. To help students study, study guides ac- companied the registration form, and several classes were formed to aid the students in preparing for the test. If a student was displeased with his or her score, he was allowed to retake the test. It costed, but if the score was im- proved, he could use that score instead. As far as mandatory tests are concern- ed, there were the TABS and the Math Survival test. The TABS, Texas Assess- ment of Basic Skills, was taken by every junior and sophomore that failed a subject. It covered math, reading, and writing. The Math Survival test was taken by every senior measuring their knowledge in the math field. Everyone knows that to pass a test first, one must study. The pre-SAT classes were for those students who were serious about making a high score. As for the other tests, don't ridicule them until the scores are back. They may seem easy at first, but watch out for the tricky questionsl 1 JJWM ?'?'5 3 q a 'N Equipped with calculator and pencil, junior Bryan Underhill awaits the start of the UIL math competition at Sam Houston High School.

TESTS Work load equal, positive Hall checks for yellow passes deter noise at lunch Not only does the weather change in Texas, but also administration of school policy changes. Most noticeable was the shuffle of the assistant prin- cipals, responsibilities. This was done so that the work load would be evenly distributed among us, Mrs. JoAnn Kelley said. Mrs. Kelley's new job included disciplining the seniors and overseeing assemblies, Saturday School and senior activities. Eventually she took over the hiring of substitutes. Mr. Tommy Watkins picked up new duties also - handling the juniors, the care and maintenance of the school and the University Interscholastic League forms. Mr. Jay Thompson, former track coach, dealt with sophomores, issuing textbooks and hiring subs during the first semester. He also saw that the re-worked marquee sported ap- propriate messages. The best part is that the work is equally handled and we were not handling the negative part of the school all day, Mr. Watkins mentioned. Previously one assistant principal handled the discipline for the boys, another the girls. Suddenly towards the end of the year passes in halls were required. Students caught in the halls without passes received tickets. When a student accumulated three, he got three days of OCS. The most feared area of the school which students avoided was the Car- son Street wing. Hall noise and class disturbance were the reasons the pass rule was enforced. It was not having passes that bothered teachers but the type of pass. Many teachers already had passes made out for their students, needs, such as potty and locker passes, but they were not ac- cepted by the hall monitors. The passes had to be the yellow ones, the official passes given out by the office. I ATTENDANCE Sixth period Monty Martin, Gary Mc- Carley, Slade Manos, and Tara Schooler relax in the foyer.

DISCIPLINE Enterprisers get taste of business Pigging out on name-brand food, conducting trials, Ever wondered why Derek was in the grocery store comparing toilet paper brands? How about why the desks were ar- ranged like a court room in Mrs. Lou Fann- ing's business law class? Or maybe even why Mrs. lla Osborne's business manage- ment class was put on a field trip list and ventured to Ridgmar Mall? All of these things can be summed up in- to one word, projects. In free enterprise, buisness law and business management, although students didn't escape book work completely, a majority of the year was spent learning through on-hand experiences. For instance, Mrs. Joan Pennington thought up some activity for each chapter in her free enterprise classes to make that chapter more applicable to their lstudents'l personal lives' s Students enjoyed reading Mickey Mouse and Goofey Explore Energy Conservation comic books while playing a game called shipwreck in which they pretended they had landed on a deserted island and had to set up their own economic system. Possibly the most enjoyed project was one in which students pigged-out on name-brand items as opposed to unknown or store- brand ones. They were then required to state whether the quality was worth paying the extra cost. Although current-events news articles were due every day, this was the only re- quirement business law students were used to, As junior Kim Parton stated, You never know from day to day what you're going to do. That's what makes it so interesting. One surprise field trip was a journey to the Criminal Courts Building. But little did the students know that they would witness the hearing of an actual murder trial. Another of Mrs. Fanning's assignments was one in which the nine weeks test con- sisted of checking off vocabulary words when guest speaker Sergeant Alvin Fowler spoke on the subject of unions, closed and open shops and strikes. , All in all, the class gives me knowledge about every-day laws and prepares me for many things in the future, Wayne Ross, junior, commented. Students in the business management class decided they wanted to create a real business to learn from. By BUSINESS COURSES Planning your future was the topic as a guest speaker from Bell and Howell talks to seniors Jerry Burns and David Thorn- burg along with other free enterprise students. laminating and selling Kimo signs, students raised half of the needed price to purchase a button machine, the Haltom High Spirit Company. The other half was borrowed from the Future Business Leaders of America chapter funds at 1696 interest. Operating in the same manner as an ac- tual company, the class was divided up in- to departments. These included produc- tion, which made the product, sales, which sold the finished product, advertising, which was responsible for changing Wednesdays into Bednesday Button Day along with ads and PA announcements, graphics, responsible for designs to be printed, clerical, responsible for typing and orders, and accounting, which kept finan- cial records. According to junior Aubrey McClure, You learn how to start and finance a business, how to pull it out of slumps, and how to increase profits during a time of high production. Taking the class will real- ly help in the transition from high school to the business world after graduation. - Concentrating on constructing a custom- made button, junior Jarrel Maurice pushes the lever which grossed approximately 2100 buttons and S2100 in six months.

Typing for the fun of it Secretaries born in office procedure classes Stop, carriage return. Now, gay-e-tee out your Gay-are-e- gay ish-tee-h-end be-oo-kay, in other words, get out your Gregg shorthand book and open it to page 36. L'Do the best you can and don't limit yourself because you're all you've got, baby. Remember to file the receipts under expenses in your packets. Before you leave, don't forget to unplug the transcribersf' Any of these remarks sound familiar? If planning or pursuing a secretarial career, a student usually heard one, two, or even three of these cliches every day. But for those who are unfamiliar with the area, an explanation is in order. Don't let speed spook ya, get a pumpkin for 30 words or more. Trot your tree down the road of the lot and win a Santa lollipop for licking your speed. Huh? What does that have to do with becoming a secretary? According to Mrs. lla Osborne, Typing in competi- tion forced speed while still having fun. On special days, students also typed to music and did Art Typing from puzzles which emphasized creativity at the typewriter. After taking typing, the next step is shorthand. lf planning on borrowing someone's government notes, be sure to find out if the person's in shorthand, why? L'lt's like learning a new language. You have letters for our alphabet and symbols for shorthand, junior Alton Boerner, one of two boys in the four classes, commented, 'tYou write the word just like it sounds, you don't spell it outf' he added. According to Mrs. Judy Griggers, the basic goal included learning to take dic- tation and then typing it in mailable form. Junior Tony Hester summed up the course by saying, When beginning shor- thand, everyone thinks that they'll never make it. But later everything falls into place and you finally realize 'I-ley, l can really do this stuff'. If numbers are a person's fancy, ac- counting is next on the list. With the aid of adding machines, students were re- quired to do supplemental packets which was keeping the accounting records from a business for a month. t'lt's not mainly the adding of numbers. It's where to put the numbers lbillsl in the books of business, how to journalize the documents, junior Glen- da Frady exclaimed.

In September, Honors English IV was almost to the point of being over- crowded, with close to 30 enrolled, yet after the first semester ended, the class contained only 12. Those who dropped the course simply didnlt have the time to write the compositions, read the classic novels by foreign authors, study the poetry, and learn the vocabulary at the pace at which it was required. Nevertheless, those who remained said that they enjoyed the class and were glad that they had stayed. Developmental reading classes and novel-short story classes concentrated on reading comprehension while the creative writing classes emphasized ability to compose different types of literary works. Courses in science-fiction and non- fiction offered students with either of those particular interests an oppor- tunity to study what they enjoyed reading. Yet English was not the only language taught on campus. When asked, Parlez-vous francais? students who took one of Mrs. Jeannie Fisher's French classes could honestly answer, Oui, je parle francais. In addition to learning grammar and building a vocabulary in another language, students who were enrolled in French, German, or Spanish also learned about the culture of the peo- Senior Kathy Womack, a German ll stu- dent, paints a panel of the booth that will be used at Novemberfest by the German Club.

By studying maps, reading about the countries' artists, philosophers, and politicians, and discussing the mannerisms of the countries, students gained knowledge far beyond the language itself. In order to learn the language, students listened to tapes, wrote com- positions and read magazines in the language, practiced in conversations with friends, and listened to the teachers' explanations. Total immer- sion days, when no English could be spoken, helped students recall what they had learned but might have forgotten.l In addition to teaching junior English, Mrs. Donna Henson teaches classes at TCJC in astrology.

I thought the trip was interesting, especially the boat ride we took, where we saw some porpoises swimming along side the boat, Mr. Fulton said. Collecting insects brought last minute biology students to the journalism room for termites. During class, Mr. Marvin Reed took the collectors on specimen hunts outside weather permitting. 'iThe insect collection was fun, but dissecting the frog was gross, junior Tracie Jones said. However in Mr. Reed's physics class they compared the shape and size of doughnuts and doughnut holes. We went to the Birdville Stadium and measured horse power. The students ran up and down the bleachers. We also measured the canine tooth pressure of humans on pizza, Mr. Reed remarked. Gas properties and chemical organics, and nuclear studies were conducted in chemistry classes.

Not quite, this particular Paul Revere was actually a puppet that was speaking with the aid of Coach Aundrea Cambell's world history class. The pup- pet show, which was based upon the signing of the Declaration of ln- dependence, was a group project assignment. It was a blast getting it all worked out, explained Beth Burleson, sophomore, whose church loaned the puppets for the show. The project was to instill a sense of patriotism for America. Another project with the same objec- tive was when Mrs. Jo Pennington and Mrs. Vivian Ziglemeyer were invited to take ten government students to hear Governor Bill Clements speak at Texas Wesleyan College. The four-day tour of Washington, D.C. for the 16 seniors and one junior, began with a tour of Capitol Hill, then the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, National Archives, the White House, and Ford's Theater just to name a few. However, the buildings didn't make quite the impression that the people did. 'fWashington was a 'health' city, revealed junior Glenda Frady. i'At almost every monument we went there were people laying in the sun around it. People were jogging everywhere, Washington is a beautiful city, Neil Quimby, senior, couldn't agree more, Ult was very fun. It would be a shame if they didn't have it again next year. We only had 16 people when we were supposed to have 2O.,' Unfortunately, little failed to stir the patriotism lying dormant in the students' minds until the day the Russians came. It was the normal sort of day. Just like most late April days, the students restlessly gazed out the windows where the beautiful weather beckoned them. The droning voices of a dozen teachers giving their lectures echoed through the halls mixing with the ominous rumble of some seniors debating with two Soviet soldiers. What on earth were two soldiers from the USSR doing at Haltom High? The same thing they were doing at other area high schools. They were in- citing patriotism in the government and free enterprise seniors. They did a pret- ty good job. 'fl was mad at the way they came in and put down the United States, ex- plained Alan Boyer. Ed Trayford agreed, They were very derogatory toward our country. For Rahman Moomand, who recently emigrated from Afghanistan, it was more of a personal trauma. 'il was hurt because of them in my country. l had to leave, l lost my friends, only to find more Russians here. I was like everybody else - l got mad, said Ray Clark. A lot of what they said wasnft true or else they distorted the facts. Coach Pat Pruitt disagreed, 'l was very upset at the lack of our students to intelligently dispute with them. What they said was true as far as the facts are concerned - for instance our invasion of Russia in 1917. After the elemental questions about Afghanistan had been asked, we couldn't argue with any truth or fact. Not only that, but they could twist what our kids asked and turn it back to themf' The next day, after numerous calls from distressed parents, it was revealed by Colonel Frank Korywchak and Prin- cipal Tommy Hays that the Russians were actually imposters. The major worked as an insurance agent and served in the Army Reserve as a cap- tain. His counter part, the sergeant, was a captain in the Military Police Corps of the Texas State Guard as well as being a cost accountant. According to Colonel Korywchak, both men initiated the program on their own, based on meeting with Opposing Forces people. Having studied Rus- sians, their language and way of life, they felt they could do a better job so they offered their services to local high schools. Many people were angrier after finding out the truth. How would we like it if two Russians impersonated Americans at a Soviet school? pointed out Ray. Joan Gooding, senior, brought up another idea, Our military was giving us propaganda. We still don't know what average Russians are really like. However, some people arrived at con- clusions they didn't like at all. It made me realize that l didn't have even the basic knowledge to argue with them, revealed senior Kim Allen. I think it was an excellent idea, of- fered Coach Pruitt. lt would have been better if the teachers could have for- mulated some sort of follow-up study program on how you could combat pro- paganda. If you don't know what you believe in, or why, then how can you de- fend it?'ll HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT Blind walk tightrope with guide Self-hypnosis, surveys allow understanding of behavior patterns. You had a totally helpless feeling, like walking a tightrope, Joe Lineros, senior, said. The perception activity, a project of the psychology classes, gave the students an understanding of how blind people rely on their senses. Blindfolded, each student was given a guide assistant. Your guide was the only thing keeping you from running into things, Joe said. Helping students understand themselves and their behavior, Mrs. Jackie Slaughter, psychology and sociology teacher, prepared the students for the future. lt should help them to understand and better cope with the stress and problems of our society, Mrs. Slaughter said.

Studying the patterns and problems of human group life, the sociology students took a school survey of approximately 300 people and what they were interested in. We surveyed everything from mari- juana use to alcohol to school spirit, Mrs. Slaughter said. Among other activities the classes wat- ched films, filmstrips and video tapes. They researched fads and studied a sur- vival activity. A social security represen- tative spoke to the sociology classes. Researching people's real mental pro- blems, their symptoms, and treatment were all a part of the psychology and sociology studies. In addition to keeping their minds physically fit, the physical education students learned through active sports how to also keep their bodies in good condi- tion. Lacking an area to work out while the new athletic facility was under construc- tion, the PE classes met in the cafeteria or worked out in the auditorium the first semester. Coach Don Derryberry and Coach Roland Rangel's PE classes were in- troduced to volleyball and ping pong. They competed in a volleyball game in which Coach Derryberry's class won two out of three games. It is good for students to compete against each other and other classes. It allows them to experience competition and team work, Coach Derryberry said. Next year we hope to have better facilities and get a PE credit for skating at Holiday Roller Rink, Coach Cambell said. New ways of staying in shape were in- troduced to Coach Aundrea Cambell's classes through racquetball, aerobics, and roller skating.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Consequences stiff 'Few minutes of fun not worth penalty, i officer says. Mrs. Janna Ward, former narcotics officer for the Beaumont Police Department visited Mrs. Lou Fan- ning's third period business law class. She came not to preach about using drugs, but to detail the consequences if a person was arrested on a drug or alcohol related charge. i'Selling or delivering large amounts of drugs, even marijuana can get you a life or death penalty, she said. Even a class B misdemeanor, a person may receive up to six months in a county jail andfor a S1000 fine, Mrs. Ward said. Mrs. Ward went on to describe the division of penalties in Texas and federal laws on drug and alcohol related charges. A person may be charged in both state and federal court for the same drug offense without in- curring double jeopardy.

FIELD TRIPSXSPEAKERS partment. The first thing a police of- ficer will think is that you may have a gun and will try to hurt him. Always be helpful and polite and usually the of- ficer will return this courtesy, she said. Especially when drunk, if a per- son does cooperate when pulled over, the police may let him go on to his home if nearby. When buying alcohol, the buyer can receive up to a S200 fine if under 19 years of age, and the seller will also receive a fine and may have his liquor license revoked. The seller's fine is usually a great deal more. Teenagers should make a con- scious decision about using drugs. I feel it is necessary to learn the conse- quences of your actions before you act, not afterwards when itls too late. A prison sentence is a high price to pay for a few minutes of fun, Mrs. Ward stressed.l Not a week went by that business teacher Mrs. Lou Fanning didn't arrange for a guest speaker to visit her classes.

I enjoy participating in the programs. It helps you have more confidence in yourself, senior Cindy Pemberton, drama student, exclaimed. Art's a lot like poetry, poetry puts it in words, but in art you draw your feelings in pictures. This enhances your perceptive ability, senior Lisa Jones commented. My main purpose is to show a student how to communicate, sell their ideas, sell themselves to employers, and gain con- fidence in themselves, Mrs. Dorothy Mize, speech teacher, remarked. Confidence seemed to be the key word in not only drama, but art and speech as well. Although the classes seemed close in relationship, surprisingly enough, most students did not link them together. First off, junior Joan Martensen summed up drama by saying, It teaches you to handle a crisis situation. It develops creativity when making props, when ac- ting, and the ability to be relaxed and think on your feet in front of a crowdf, How does it teach these things? ln addition to the musical, UIL contest play, and short drama plays, short scenes were acted out in class by groups of 2-3 people. When not doing this, improvisa- tions were done which included acting in a crisis situation. For example, how would you feel getting stuck in an elevator or lost in a cave? Not only did students learn acting, but also creating props out of spit paper. FINE ARTS Joan also helped Mrs. Van Norden out with the costumes by designing, making the patterns, and sewing almost every costume in the UIL contest play. Most people see the world in black and white, but once you understand and know art, you see the world in color, designs and movementsfl senior Marty Kimbrough said. How did students learn to understand if7 With weekly assignments involving a newspaper picture to be drawn in a certain type of media lpaint, pencil, pen and ink, contourl, students began to become aware of small but distinct characteristics of an ordinary article. Students were also re- quired to do at least two major projects in the areas of drawing, mixed media, pain- ting, crafts, design or prints. To collect and organize ideas and to communicate those ideas effectively to people was the goal of speech students, Mrs. Mize remarked. How did students accomplish this? lt's like a workshop class. I try to get them in front of the class as often as I can to give them a feeling of confidence, Mrs. Mize continued. Basic assignments included things such as finding news articles in a magazine and taking that article and compiling it into a speech with facts and quotes. Keeping up with news also helped in writing more accurate speechesl A mixture of paper, paste, and water drips from sophomore Danny Barnes' hands aa he creates a paper mache duck in art.

During the Christmas holidays, band director Mr. Dee Tucker leads the band. The choir also performed at the Hyatt. Q W Mud interferes with half-time numbers New uniforms for marching band, new director for choir department The art and science of combining tones in varying melody, known to most simply as music, played a special part in the lives of students enrolled in band, choir, or musical productions. The band program consisted not only of marching season in the fall, but concert season during the rest of the year. Marching band included attendance at summer band camp and practices throughout the fall. Heavy rainfall and bad conditions on the football field prevented the band from performing at two half-time shows. At another half-time, the flag corps used only poles in order to keep the flags clean for contests. The marching band purchased new uniforms to present a new look to au- diences and judges. White coats, orange sashes, and black aussi hats composed the new part of the uniforms, while black pants and white shoes remained the same. Although delivery was scheduled for early October, a shipping delay prevented the band from wearing the new uniforms until the last football game in November. In both the Cleburne Marching Festival and the UIL Marching Contest, the band scored a one, the highest possible rating, for musicality, marching ability, and general appearance. Each band member had his or her own reason for liking marching season. Tammy Malone, senior flag lieutenant, stated, Marching is my favorite part, I love to twirl. Carol Wehmeyer, sophomore, added, Band is great and l love flag corps! ln contrast to the marching program, concert band worked on preparing for con- tests instead of performing in public. The band split up into two separate groups, concert band, in which younger musicians gained experience, and sym- phonic band, which was the main perform- ing band with the stronger players. Both bands put on concerts with the junior high feeder schools and participated in UIL con- cert competition at Trinity High School. Individual members competed in UIL solo and ensemble contest, but restricted their practice to time outside of class, The choir program with new director Mrs. Carol Pyle had two divisions. The mixed choir served as primarily a training choir, while the chorale choir acted as the top performing group. ln mixed choir, anyone could participate without an audi- tion or any previous experience. A member of the chorale choir earned his position by audition only. In addition to these two choirs, a special group of choir members formed a select group called Odyssey. Thirteen singers, one of which played keyboards as well, formed the group. Members auditioned for their places in Odyssey as well as chorale choir. Mrs. Pyle evaluated the auditions. Odyssey performed at UIL solo and ensemble contest, and sang in civic pro- grams at Christmas and in the Choir Festival. They sang mostly pop and swing style music. As a new feature of pep rallies and home football games, individual choir members sang the National Anthem. The administration approached Mrs. Pyle and asked for the use of the choir for this pur- pose at the beginning of the school year. I think we've come a long way, Michelle Maxwell, senior choir member, stated. Revealing the secret of the choirs' ac- complishments, Sharon Johnson, junior, related, She fMrs. Pylel makes us work hard, but it pays off. Musical Productions, another class in- volved with the performing arts, prepared for musicals presented to the public. Mrs. Kay Van Norden and Mrs. Pyle both taught the class. All aspects of putting on a musical are learned in the class, stated Mrs. Pyle. The classes participated in all of the pro- ductions that were put on. This included mailing press releases, making a program, selling ads, drawing posters, and selling tickets. Students also did the choreography, make-up, and production sets. Members had a better chance of get- ting lead roles in the plays that were presented at school, said one student in musical productions.- FINE ARTS Learning a white collar trade, junior Steve Pfiefer studies drafting, either a one or two hour course. Sometimes it gets hot and dirty in auto mechanics attests Kirby Stinson. .fe 161. 'A cl-Iustler can Theory With the unemployment rate on the rise, some students chose to supplement their education with pre-employment courses. These classes combined bookwork with actual job experience and lasted either two or three hours a day. Although the courses were a good reference to use in gaining employment, jobs were not required for credit in class. Cosmetology students gave per- manents, manicures, pedicures and learned about coloring mixtures for hair. They kept notebooks, both for personal use and for district contest, Products were tried out for companies who re- quested them to be tested. At all times they wore regulation white uniform coats and shoes in accor- dance with health laws. After completing the course, seniors took the state board examination test in Austin to acquire a license to work. It's fun, you have to work hard, and you get a lot out of it, stated president of cosmetology VICA Darlene Bennett. Unlike other pre-employment courses, Vocational Drafting offered the only class that gave students the opportunity to work at a white-collar job after graduation. Denese McGee, vocational drafting PRE-EMPLOYMENT LABS QR smpfwry earn 1000 weekly full-time' plus experience accords lab students head start student, said, It's helped me in understanding my decision to go into the fields of art and architecturef, Mr. Roland Kuhleman's class also drew up the plans for the principal's new office. Two other vocational classes, auto- body and auto-mechanics, also served as pre-employment classes. In both courses students spent three hours a day, with one hour devoted to classroom work and the rest in the shops. Mr. Charles Cauttrell, auto-body in- structor, taught his students how to paint car exteriors and work on upholstery, frames, both window and body, and fenders. Auto mechanics' students, on the other hand, concentrated on the car engine, including transmission and all braking, electrical, and cooling systems, according to instructor Mr. Harold Black. Joe Bertholf, senior auto body stu- dent, said, I will be making around S5400 a week when I start working full time, if I goof off. I could get up to a S1000 a week if I hustle.'I Good pay was just one benefit to consider when a student became involved in auto body or auto mechanics. Another pre-employment course, Vocational Office Education Lab, of- fered students concentrated training in office skills. These skills included the study of filing, banking, business forms, how to apply for a job, personal im- provement, and other business related subjects such as data and word process- ing introduction. This course was taught for two hours and earned students two credits. The course is recommended for non-college bound AND college bound students who may use their skills to help finance college education, stated Mrs. Marsha Murray, VOE teacher. General Construction Trades, a class designed to teach students the art of carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and bricklaying trades, taught by Mr. George Bishop, gave students a chance to work on their skills for two hours per day with four credits a year. Mr. Bishop explained, Construction Trades helped students acquire jobs by learning the basic skills of the various crafts so that they could enter a trade at a higher level. Last year the classes remodeled a frame house purchased by the district and re-sold this winter. They constructed a garage for their project this springl N 4 I ,g ,4 Pe' N 1' -5 KB hs 5 ,, Q? 60150 ,vi K A Z .

PRE-EMPLOYMENT LABS Work, school hand-in-hand For any job, there is Working and going to school for some students is not fun, but for the students who enrolled in coop classes, it became a necessity. Although the students did not have a job when they signed up for the class, assistance in obtaining one had been provided by the class instructors. Students in my Industrial Cooperative classes are placed in a job field in which they learn a trade or skilled labor, Mr. Charles Connelly, ICT instructor, said. In ICT there are over 100 occupations which range from meat cutters, carpenters, bricklayers, to electricians. The classes lasted one hour. After the students take their coop class, they went to their other classes. When their school schedule was completed, they went to work, Students in Cooperative Vocational Ad- justment Education, taught by Mr. James Morton and Mr. Ronald Pipes, could work in job trades or skills or work in food or public services. The job positions are unlimited. The problem with keeping a student in a job has been that of students' attitude and the economy. Our community has many jobs which our students can work, Mr. Morton stated. Students through films are introduced to job skills and behavior during an interview also different types of jobs are shown to the students, Mr. Pipes commented. Vocational Office Education students went to contest in February at the Tarrant County Junior College. For national VOE week, the C1 vocational program to match students went roller skating and had a teacher appreciation day. VOE also had a Valentine party for the Haltom Senior Citizens. Teresa Dyess, senior, said, VOE has helped me learn about the business world and gain responsibility. Home Economics Cooperative Education provided breakfast for the faculty and table decorations. They also visited nursing homes on Valentine's Day, and had their area meeting at Skyline High School in March. Vocational Health Occupation Education gave students an opportunity to learn about nursing, radiology and basic anatomy of the human body. According to Linda Hollowell, senior, UVHOE helped me to mold my future in the nursing field. I've learned what it takes to be a nurse and now l'm ready to be one. The community is interested in the students and would like to help their fields of study. Mrs. Lillian Porter, instructor of VHOE, helps by contacting the doctors, especially the new ones that have moved into the area for job openings. If hired, the students will usually remain at the job throughout college. VHOE members went to Fort Worth Childrens Hospital and presented a puppet show. They also visited the Bishop Davies Nursing Center. These services gave students the oppor- tunity to work with all kinds of people and enlighten their lives, said Mrs. Porter.l COOP tw' . ill 2 'wqwhbf I To gain work experience, Michelle Gray, senior VOE student. kept records at Glen- view Family Practice.

SHOPS Grooming kits for prisoners Trip to Cloth World adds to seamstresses' instruction Dividing the Home Economics classes into six categories enabled Mrs. Billie Sommermeyer to teach I-lomemaking I, II, III, and Child Development, and Mrs. Sarah Gomez to teach Home Management and Home and Family Living. The classes often combined to work on group projects and also worked with the Future Homemakers of America on many activities. L'We are trying to do all we can to publicize the good points of Haltom, Mrs. Sommermeyer said. Women from various organizations spoke to Mrs. Sommermeyer's classes. Mrs. Paula Brooks spoke to the clothing classes on communications and public relations. Also, Janet Snow, a teacher at Texas Christian University, told of the book she was writing on college clothing courses. The Child Development classes listened to childbirth speakers, Gladys Sewell, Sarah Forsythe, and Valla Peka. Mrs. Peka, a speaker from the Tarrant County Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Center, described the affects of alcohol on the unborn child. To add to their instruction the classes took many field trips. Touring a cotton shop, the clothing classes learned the correct fabric for patterns and then went to Cloth World where they browsed through a selection of materials. The Child Development classes visited the obstetric wing of Harris Hospital. They also toured two nursery schools where they observed the children's schedules, various age groups activities, their types of toys and the child's emotional and social development. A field trip taken by the foods classes consisted of comparing grocery store prices and viewing cuts of meat at a meat market. They were also given a demonstration of sweet rolls made in the school cafeteria. Sending a grooming kit to the Fort Worth jail was a beneficial project taken on by the classes of Mrs. Som- mermeyer. The kits consisted of per- sonal items, stamps, and pencils. Many other activities included a piz- za and skating party and exchanging secret pal gifts. lt was good to participate in a group, Mrs. Gomez said, it gives ex- perience in planning and organizing for the community. l HOME ECONOMICS 4 At a faculty Christmas luncheon in the workroom, Mrs. Billye Sommerrneyer, Mrs. Mary Atkins, Becky Gomez, and Mrs. Sarah Gomez enjoy the potluck dishes.

Through the summer, National Honor Society members worked to sell ads to local businesses to support the publication of a new edition of the Buff-Lo-Down. After all ads were turned in, Kim Kingsley, editor of the phone direc- tory compiled the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all the students along with a list of faculty members, administrative staff, and school holidays. The words to the school alma mater and fight song were also included. When the printed Buff-Lo-Downs were delivered, each member sold at least five copies at one dollar each in order to retain his membership. At the second meeting of the year, members voted and decided to order gold and navy blue polo shirts with the NHS insignia on the front. For Christmas, members made felt ornaments to hang on the doors of residents of the Haltom City Convales- cent Center. Debbie McGee, treasurer, and Kim took turns playing the piano while the rest of the group sang Christmas carols and greeted the residents. In March, old NHS members welcomed new members at a tea in the library after the formal installation ceremony took place in the auditorium. The refreshment commit- tee served punch and cookies to the parents of new members while con- gratulations were passed around. ln order to become a member of NHS, each student had to maintain a grade point average of 3.5 and satis- factory conduct grades.

Wayne gave me a lot of en- couragement, Mary said as she remembered the many nights she didn't feel like doing homework. Graduating Summa Cum Laude, no grade below an 'A', didn't stop Mary from being active in other organiza- tions. President of both German Club and National Honor Society, Highstep- per First Lieutenant, student council representative and a member of the choir were just a few extracurricular activities in which she participated. She also received the Citizenship Award and the Math Award during the Recognition Assembly. Somehow managing to keep up with cheerleading, Future Business Leaders of America, National Honor Society and winning state one year and runner up the next for her shorthand abilities, Carol Evans graduated Summa Cum Laude and Salutatorian. Ranked third and Summa Cum Laude in the 406 seniors who graduated was Teresa Nabors. Along with being co-captain of the track and cross country teams, Teresa was in- volved in NHS, buff backers, chemistry club and made Who's Who. Due to the fact that two females received valedictorian and salutatorian honors, Neal Quimby, who also graduated Summa Cum Laude and fourth in his class, was con- sidered High Boy.

HONOR GRADUATES After a French club party, junior Donald Hawkins and senior Renee Davis enjoy the swings at Little Fossil Park. Wide variety of activities interrupts daily routine To break away from the daily routine of getting up, going to school, returning home, and going to bed, students par- ticipated in activities ranging from playing pool at Bill's, to shopping at North Hills Mall, to watching a movie at Richland Plaza. One of the most popular pastimes cost only a quarter per game. Video arcades, such as Video Point, The Wizard, Malibu, and the Buffalo Den drew crowds in the evenings, after school, and even at lunch break. Nevertheless, old favorites like eating out at Daniels or Dos Gringos, shoe polishing a friend's car, and attending parties re- mained as prevalent as ever among students. School itself also offered a variety of activities to get in- volved in. During the fall, pep rallies and football games gave the student body, faculty, and community an opportunity to yell their hearts out. Winter brought basketball season, several plays and musicals, and class Christmas parties. Track meets and baseball games, along with numerous field trips and assemblies livened up spring. No matter what a student's interests were, he could find plenty of activities to break away from the same old routine. l -5 I . : .

F110 ll ACTIVITIES Newcomers learn to adjust The move from junior high to high school calls for courage. Sophomores had it rough, They had to make the difficult transition from junior high to high school. That was harder than most people realized. Imagine having been topdog at one school, only to be cast down from lofty perches and made the underdog of another. Upperclassmen had an abominable habit of treating sophomores as an infectious disease. When a sophomore proudly proclaimed himself as such, juniors and seniors rolled their eyes in horror and cried out, 'fls it catching? Individual organizations had their own special initiations. Sophomore Highsteppers had to go to school in full dress uniform for a day. Other groups, such as band, had new members swear not to reveal initiation practices. 'fHigh school was pretty much what I im- agined it to be, confided sophomore Steven Wilson, Hexcept for the band initiation, which was a secret' It seemed as though some of the sophomores were expecting more trouble than they got, 'iIVIy older friends just called me 'little sophy', admitted Jimmy Speer, sophomore. Sophomore Bill Erwin revealed much of the same thing, HIVIy older brother and his friends One of the best' runners, sophomore Debra Richardson wastes no time in adjusting to high school on the girls' varsity track team. With his lab partner calling off the directions, Kenny Evans, sophomore, delicately probes the anatomy of an earthworm. MOVING UP made 'sophomore' something to be ashamed of, but I never was. HI never had much trouble because no one messed with me, arrogantly bragged Walter Grow, sophomore, as he pounded his fist into the palm of his hand. Teasing from the older guys was not the on- ly thing that was waiting the sophomores' ar- rival. Haltom High School was gargantuan compared to their junior high schools. iiIVIy first day was really exciting, the school seemed so big I thought I'd never find my way around, laughed Amber Graff. I also loved the freedom of having open campus for lunch. You need a road map when you first get to this school, muttered Beth Burleson, sophomore. One poor soul, who preferred to remain anonymous, had only this to say, I was sooo embarrassed when I went to the wrong homeroomf' However, the first day of school didn't last forever, thank goodness, and sophomores weren't sophomores for long.

MOVING UP , Tale of Kimo lends boost Mandatory pep rallies in auditorium administrative decision to arouse spiri I-laltom fight! Haltom fight! Sparking the beginning of the pep-rallies, the beat of the band playing the fight song roared as the crowd filled the auditorium. After the students found their seats, the cheerleaders rushed in cheering, followed by the football team. Led by a choir member everyone stood for the National Anthem, leading directly into cheers in- cluding Eat 'em up, Black and Orange' and Kimo. Performing next Debbie McGee introduced a new routine each week. Selections the band played were such songs as Elvira, HCelebration,'l Another One Bites the Dust, and I Saw the Light. Everyone met for the mandatory pep-rallies in the auditorium. The pep-rallies were made man- datory so that more school spirit might be aroused. I like the pep-rallies in the auditorium because it was different and our school deserves to be different and better, senior Mary Ann Richardson said. Weekly tryouts determined which Highstep- pers could perform for the pep-rallies, since all of the girls could not fit on the stage. Marching onto the stage, the Highsteppers followed captain Michelle Maxell to the sound of her whistle. Accompanied by the band, the Highsteppers performed a high-kick to Swany and a dance routine to New York, New York, and to the recording of 'KHey, Big Spender a soft shoe and hat routine. Immediately following, the cheerleaders led a few more cheers as the crowd's excitement prepared for the drums. Chanting for the drums grew louder and louder as the drum corps marched onto the stage. As students and teachers clapped rhythmically to the beat of the drums, chanting often led to the sound of Kimo Coach Don Derryberry kept the au- dience spellbound with his tale of the white buf- falo and the old indian. As the drum corps returned to their seats, the cheerleaders assembled one of their many stunts or pyramids. Concluding the weekly pep-rally, the crowd stood for the Alma Mater. Then as the crowd filed out to return to class, many seniors joined on the stage in the senior circle. This was the schedule leading each football and two basketball pep-rallies, most on Friday mornings. During halftimes the band marched onto the field playing contest tunes including Love on the HALFTIMES AND PEP RALLIES Forming one of their stunts the cheerleaders boost the spirit of students and faculty during a pep-rally.

During basketball halftimes the 1 cheerleaders cheered as they assembled a stu with an occasional performance by the Highste pers. The bands were not allowed to play by vo of the district schools. Concluding the football season with the large halftime show, The Circus was performed wi approximately 325 people. The halftime included cheerleaders, Stude Council, Highsteppers, the gymnastics team, BL Backers and the Drama Department.

Shout songs of math problems Along with administrative metamorphosis Being a typical first day, many students had the same idea of finding their classes early as I did. As I rounded the corner, I realized I was in front of room 13-A. I looked on my schedule and found first period, choir, Mr. Seible, room 13-A.

The situa- tion above was encountered by many students as eight teachers, one,junior,counselor and a new principal werie added to the faculty list. . Talking in numbers, Mrs. Kenita Mills taught Introductory Algebra II and Fundamentals of Math II while Mrs. Bonnie Richards instructed World History and Qlntroductory Algebra, II classes. Mrs. Charlotte Masters educated studentsgin, the areas of geometry, Algebra I and computer, math. . i . Wfherdisciplinetis good, most students are cooperative, and the atmosphere is conducive to learning, Mrs. Masters commented. Coaches were no exception to the addi- tions. Mrs. Aundrea Campbell coached girls' junior varsity volleyball and basketball as well as teaching World History. Mr. Bob Lowe was in charge of boys track, in addition to assisting in football and keeping on campus .suspension classes. Mr. Keith Bishoptalso helpedcoach football on top of teaching American History. Miss Nelda Irlearne was also a new addition in the ,area of resource history, math, and government.

I love it, finally we have our own place and we're not all crammed in one room, Becky Kildow, junior Highstepper, cheerfully expressed. Another improvement consisted of the 10,500 square foot athletic complex built adja- cent to the east gym. The complex included a weight room, classrooms, training rooms, and coaches' offices. The weight room measured approximately two and one half times larger than the old one and provided space for a new universal weight machine. A large mural of charging buffalo with the phrase, Champions are Made, gave the room a colorful touch. K'The weight room is accessible to both male and female athletesfl Coach Jerry Sanders stated. Facilities for female athletes were built in the old weight room south of the east gym, and the old Highstepper dressing room was com- pletely remodeled for them. The area fur- nished 15O lockers, dressing rooms, equipment rooms, and a bathroom with large mirrors and electrical outlets. The relocation of the journalism room pro- vided the newspaper and yearbook staffs with a larger, more efficient work area. The room was refurbished especially for journalism students, and included extensive cabinet space allowing for storage of supplies, old yearbooks, and past issues of the school newspaper. A dark room built to specifications was located at the back of the room next to a small office. Unlike the previous darkroom, it housed a full length sink used for mixing chemicals and rins- ing photographs, and a lightproof closet for rolling film. It has a lot more room, so we can get more people working in there at one time, David Riehl, junior photographer, said. All of the improvements, including the modernization of the classrooms and restrooms, were a part of a three year plan to help reform and build the reputation of HHS,l' Mr. Hays explainedl comments about the changes, which involved ' the foyer, main halls, offices, entrance, athletic . facilities, and dressing rooms. The foyer boasted the most noticeable im- provement with an extension of the front wall and carpet leading into the two main halls and offices. Large glass doors and ceiling-to-floor windows replaced the old wooden doors and paned windows. A metal arched awning and a concrete ramp added practicality as well as style to the entrance. These improvements attracted not only the eyes of students and faculty, but also those of the community. People, community residents especially, are pleased to see Haltom is changing, and it has helped the image of the school, Mr. Jay Thompson, assistant principal, remarked. Temporary orange chairs replaced the wooden benches while Mr. A. D. Pickett, a retired industrial arts teacher, constructed new furniture for the foyer. The student council chose a block-type furniture with a carpet covering in orange and gray colors. The Choate Carpet Company upholstered the furniture. 'iWe decided on this furniture because it was more durable and easier to move than other types, Robb White, student council president, said. Mr. Tommy Hays, principal, awaited the completion of his new office in early April. The old on-campus suspension room was divided to make room for Mr. Hays' office, an office for Mrs. Polly Moffatt, secretary, and a reception area that included chairs and a coffee table. i'This office is much larger and gives us a nice place to call meetings, Mr. Hays proudly announced. Mrs. Jo Ann Kelley, assistant principal, moved into Mr. Hays, old office and Mr. Thompson took Mrs. Moffatt's office. The Highsteppers and Mrs. Dorothy Mize, sponsor, moved into a new dressing area in January.

For the first time insurance was offered to the students in the Birdville School District. The insurance policy included life, dental, hospital, and school coverage. The cost of the insurance depended on the amount of in- surance the students' parents wanted to pur- chase.

Overtime an investment Last bell signals practice, rehearsals, scrimrnages The 3:30 bell rang . . . students rushed out of classrooms and headed for their cars. Yet nearly two-fifths of the student body participated in activities that involved staying after school. Whiz Quiz, a newly organized club, held practices in the library Tuesday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30. They also participated in scrimmages against other area high schools. I think this is the most stimulating ac- tivity a student or teacher can par- ticipate inf' said Mrs. Jeannie Fisher, sponsor. The more we learn, the more we realize how much there is to learn. Students who participated in the sports program devoted anywhere from two to four hours after school. The varsity football team practiced Monday through Thursday, from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m., and on Wednesday after- noons, they scrimmaged. The junior varsity team practiced at the same time, except there was no Thursday practice because of games. Other sports that participated in after school activities included basketball, track, volleyball, gymnastics, tennis, and golf. The basketball team ran drills and scrimmaged from 5 to 7 each day. Daily workouts for track and cross country consisted of lifting weights or running every day except Friday. The gym- nastics team worked on their equipment and perfecting floor exercises from 2:30 to 4:30 daily. The volleyball team prac- ticed from 2:30 to 6 during the first semester. During the second semester, the baseball team sharpened their skills from 2:30 to 5. Also during the second semester, the tennis team worked until 4. The girls' basketball team drilled on fundamentals and scrimmaged until 5 and the golf team increased their skills from 3:30 to 5. Sixth period, the cheerleaders had a class for rehearsing cheers, and were often at school until 4:30. On Wednesdays, they made posters and run-throughs for the football games and pep rallies, sometimes staying as late as 7 p.m. to complete them. The Highsteppers worked on routines for games and pep rallies every day until 4:30 during football season. On the musical side of things, band and choir members put in their time as well. Band members had Tuesday night rehearsals from 4:30 until 6:30 during marching season. It is impossible to compete with larger and longer established bands without extra rehearsal, said Mr. Dee Tucker, head band director. Members of choir were involved in after hour activities such as all-district, all-region, all-state tryouts, and rehear- sals for special productions. According to the director, Mrs. Carol Pyle, 'iThey gain the ability to learn how to use time to accomplish a goalf' Another organization that put in over- time hours was the JROTC. The group spent Saturdays in preparation for or go- ing to competitions around the state. Ri- fle team members spent additional after- noons working on half-international com- petition at the rifle range. The newspaper ' and photography staffs dedicated afternoons and evenings to work on The Image. Every other Thursday, which was paste-up day, the two staffs could often be found at school until 8 or 9 in the evening. In addition to this, the photography staff spent hours following school taking pictures of the students at various activities. They are welcome at any clubis meetings or ac- tivities and often worked while everyone else had gone home. Those who were not involved in school activities after school usually spent their free time, according to senior Becky Smith, Going home and pigging out! Other students spent their time earn- ing money at jobs in the area as stated by junior Charles Hollowell, I greet women and infants as a blue-light boy at K-Mart. I A. nur' -...Mgt i.. AFTER HOURS Chickenwire buff lucky Excellency prevails for 50 years -- perfect night proves it Switching from drenched clothing and a soggy clump of something earlier in the day considered to be a mum, a near perfect, clear football- weather night of 45 degrees made up for the previous year's mess. To make the theme, 50 Years of Excellence, complete, the night was topped off with a superb win of 20 to 6 over Burleson. Although the week began at a slow pace, by Wednesday, things were picking up. With a head start, the junior class began preparing a home for their six foot, chicken-wire, tissue paper buffalo in the foyer as soon as the 3:30 bell rang. Aided by Mrs. lla Osborne and junior class president Billy Kemp, in addition to the buffalo, 50 buffalos cut out of gold cardboard and strips of paper listing outstanding graduates and their occupations were placed on the cafeteria windows and assisted in carrying out the theme. A banner with the words SO Years of Excellence was also constructed by the class. This is the sixth homecoming that l've been here, and the junior class has decorations, superior to any that l've ever seen at this school, Mrs. Judy Griggers, shorthand teacher, exclaimed. Along with the junior decorations, the seniors, with student body president Robb White in charge, put the finishing touches on the birthday celebration with a cake. Three metal troughs were stacked on top of each other and covered with crepe paper. Candles made out of card- board were placed on top and buffalos, previous- ly constructed during their sophomore year out of plywood, surrounded the cake. The troughs re quired a S244 deposit, but it was redeemed due to the fact that no damage was done to them. The sophomores contributed by building a school house containing the history of Principal Mr. Tommy Hays' career inside. A cake booth was also constructed. Using a bale of hay and the buffalo as background scenery, students from Mrs. Osborne's business management class took pictures and then assembled them into key chains which were sold in the booth. As a new rule, Mr. Hays locked the foyer doors at 10 p.m., but by this time the foyer and front hall was covered with orange and black crepe paper. Through the rest of the week, the decora- tions received no damage. With an extended hour long pep rally game day morning, students gathered into the auditorium in anticipation of hearing the nominees for homecoming queen who were: Queen Pam Rodriguez, Sandi Harris and Mary Ann Richardson along with Junior princess Melin- da White and sophomore princess Brenda Silva. Other extracurricular activities included a dance to Whip lt by the Highsteppers. The Richland High student council officers and cheerleaders were also invited and did attend. Following the game, student council sponsored a party for ex-students which took place in the library, and a dance for anyone in the cafeteria. According to Mrs. Jan Edwards, student council sponsor, an estimated 100 people attended, and a few ex-students even wandered over to the dancel 41' 5 23' lxl s HOMECOMING ,g cog' ea W ' P f.Q'f:':- .

Others, though, were irritated by more major things. When a person asks me to do something and then they do something with someone DAILY AGGRAVATIONS if Y: :2-, , ? ,,,L k else instead. It gets on my nerves, sophomore Jeana Muncy said. Custodians have to deal with irritations each day. The tobacco spit in the fountains and on the floor is aggravating and unpleasant to clean up, Ms. Jane Brandt, custodian, said. This situation could also be considered from a different viewpoint. Students not being able to dip snuff or chew tobacco at school is not fair, senior D. D. Lemaster commented. When you are already running late for a pep rally and you realize you don't have but half of your uniform on, was an ag- gravating situation for cheerleader Melanie Nowell, senior. Everyone had his or her own opinion of an aggravation. Silly arguments and fights among peo- ple, especially when caused by rumors or gossip, Evelyn Polland, senior, said, when expressing her feelings about an annoying situation. Students are aggravated from guys ig- noring you, Deanna Thornburg, senior, replied, to going up to Watkins' office, David Carter, junior said. A more common irritation was when you're in the middle of something and have to stop for the devotional or the morning an- nouncements, junior Ceclia Couch replied. From a coach's viewpoint, there was a summary of a daily aggravation.

Always a surprise, the half-time, engineered by band director Dee Tucker, at the Richland game featured a circus. Friday the 13th unlucky Cheerleaders request pep rally for Reb game be moved to gym The crowd anxiously awaited the opening kick-off of the game between Haltom and Richland. The fact that it was Friday the 13th, Haltom was on the Hawayl' side of the stadium, and Richland had won the game for the last five years ominously loomed in the back of the minds of both players and spec- tators alike. Yet, as an orange moon hung in the sky above the field, the Buffs' hopes of winning shone brightly in the stands below. Unfor- tunately the Buffs lost the game, 21-0. Earlier in the week, excitement and ten- sion rang through the halls as the anticipa- tion grew. Colorful posters of varied sizes ex- pressed the students' feelings toward the event. Dress-up days also increased the spirit. Students on Monday wore sneakers to sneak past the Rebs, Hawaiian shirts on Tuesday to surf over the Rebs and Wednesday cowboy hats and boots to kick the Rebs out of Buff country. Thursday, hats and ties revealed that the Buffs were going to tie up the Rebs and on Friday the traditional orange and black was worn. The community pep rally took place in the W. G. Thomas Jr. Coliseum the Thurs- day before the game. The pep rally was like a school pep rally RICHLAND WEEK except a lot more went on. The cheerleaders were exhausted from the whole event because they were involved in every activity there, Mrs. Bettye Wright, cheerleader sponsor, remarked. The school pep rally was in the gym, although previous ones were in the auditorium. We've always had our Richland pep rallies in the gym and seating has never been a problem before, so l didn't see any problem this year. Also if students go to any pep rallies, they will go to the Richland pep rally even more so than homecoming, Mr. Tommy Hays, principal, added. Everyone gets so excited and involved when the pep rally is held in the gym, senior Theresa Hill said. It's the only time we have school unity, Felisia Johnson said. Unlike last year there was no damage done to either Haltom or Richland High Schools, according to Mr. Hays and Mr. Joe Hallford, Richland's assistant principal. Nevertheless, Mrs. Judy Griggers reported that a package was delivered to the door of the typing hall. It consisted of cow manure with a note attached which read, To the Buffaloes, from Johnny Reb.

RICHLAND WEEK ' ey, have ya heard about' Shoe polishing cars a non-violent way to get idea across Names of people, initials and popular rock groups were scribbled across desks. Messages, whether they were carved on desks or written on the bathroom walls, expressed students' feelings about the world around them and to other people. Highsteppers gave the football players a boost of spirit before the Richland game by decorating their houses. Mrs. Dorothy Mize, Highstepper sponsor, felt decorating the players houses let the individual personalities of each Highstepper show through. Hltls something that's not mandatory for them to do, but something that they enjoy doing,'l Mrs. Mize stated. Game days brought out messages on banners, shirts and posters. Making posters for the foyer showed school spirit for the players, Janice Kossbiel, junior cheerleader, stated. Other messages written in shoe polish on cars gave direct information: who loved who, what Haltom was to do to an opposing team, or how W - 'lain I . mM, foxy the driver of the car was. Senior Lisa Jones explained, i'Shoe polishing cars was a way to show school spirit without do- ing any damage to the car. Sometimes, shoe polish was used only to in- itiate the driver. The person doing the deed simp- ly covered all the windows with solid white polish, preventing the driver from going anywhere before washing the windows. Notes were written and passed during classroom hours, stuck inside lockers, and passed in the halls. Writing notes gave me something to do in- stead of doing my English, stated junior Carl Maclin. Lunchtime wasn't only a time to eat but to call a friend who didn't show up for school and tell them what work they missed, how hard a test was, and how the morning went in general. The number of messages sent and received each day, whether written or spoken, proved the importance of communication with other people.,I 1 7 MESSAGES During football season especially the foyer was plastered with messages.

The French club, for the second year in a row, sold miniature Easter baskets. In the baskets were a variety of different candies, and each were individually wrapped. The members had done this before and have found that they needed to plan way ahead of time in order to produce enough baskets, they sold out every time they did this project. The cost of the baskets increased to 50 cents due to the cost of the supplies. They were also delivered.

Getting a line out made one think how telephoning might be a habit. Can't eat or watch just one Most everyone gets munchies or gossips on Mondays Since habits are not like glass and cannot easily be broken, one has to be constantly reminded to rid himself of the bad ones and to accept the good ones. Most common habits, classroom related, would have to be students eating or drinke ing. The potato chip or Coke addict cannot survive an hour without a bag of chips or a canned drink. Or could it be that he didnlt eat breakfast? The bubble gum addict tries to hide gum, but usually gets caught. Evidence: look under the desks, Summer days were most often filled with food, relaxation and the entertainment of daytime soap operas. Starting school meant leaving all those things behind. The traumatic change didn't affect everyone as some devised a plan where they could rush home for lunch to see one episode of their favorite show. Watching these shows was HABITS like eating potato chips, a viewer couldnit watch just onel Perhaps the most aggravating of habits was to sit in a car with someone who changed the station in the middle of a song, or to listen to someone who tapped their pen while others tried to study or take a test. Gossip, the most popular habit, was something that everyone participated in. Every Monday morning especially, students would gather either in the lunchroom or the foyer to talk over what they did over the weekend, whom they saw, or what their next weekend plans included. Smoking in the bathrooms, an age-old problem, was a habit that not only urged students to write letters to the editor of the school newspaper, but also sent many to OCS. Cutting class also drew a negative response, as did dipping snuff.. 1 7 tie.

By selling calendars and working at an Oc- toberfest booth and at the Colonial Invitational Tournament, the Highsteppers worked to replace pom poms burned in a fire. The funds will also be us- ed to replace stolen equipment, such as a tape recorder and exercise tapes, according to Mrs. Dorothy Mize, director. The journalism department sold white buffaloes and jewelry to cut down the cost of summer workshop and to replace stolen darkroom equipment. To set the mood for holidays, clubs issued various types of messages, like Turkey-grams and Valentine-grams for a quarter. Carnations and fake homecoming mums earned extra money for clubs. Suntan lotion was sold by male track members, and personalized sun glasses were sold by the PTA.

The checks were cancelled, and nobody ever seemed to cash them. We went 'into the hole' selling banners. We ran out! said Mrs. Thelma Hill, Senior Executive sponsor. Although students got tired of carrying M 8: M boxes or emptying their pockets when a new prow duct was seen, one student gained a lot by selling items for band.

Cable, movies, TV steals time Johnny Write, an average young man, settles for HThe Twilight Zonefl Enter one Johnny Write, an average young man of average height, weight, and intellect. He made average grades, drove an average car, and wore average clothes. He was a jour- nalism student, assigned the task of writing an entertaining story on entertainment for his high school yearbook. Now Johnny had a very average social life. He saw the obligatory popular movies such as 'iPorky's, t'Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, in order to hold up his end of conversations on one of these topics at school. He subscribed to cable and enjoyed the cheerleader movies as much as any other average red-blooded American boy. His family bought a video tape recorder so that they could watch movies not yet shown on cable, i.e. Arthur He enjoyed the benefits of recording his favorite television shows - lVI'A'S'H', and i'The Hill Street Blues - while he was preoccupied by homework and social obligations. Johnny also owes much appreciation to the Belknap Drive- In for letting his underaged average self into countless R rated movies. But still his prob- lem was how to put all of these things creative- ly and ingeniously into a story. After two weeks Johnny didn't have a word written. His parents were pressuring him to get a job, and his teachers were failing him because he had not turned in his homework. It seemed he had spent too much time indulging in television, videocassettes, cable, and movies, and his whole average lifestyle was crumbling down around him. Since Johnny was such an average person, he came to a natural solution, for what average person has not con- templated suicide? Exit one Johnny Write, an average youth who was the product of his time. He will be missed, but don't feel too bad - if one ever wants to see Johnny again just turn on the TV, or watch next month's featured movie on cable, or go see the current blockbuster at the theater or Belknap Drive-In. The marquee will have the names of some average movie star- ring John Ellington Write, a young man who is a little happier, and a permanent resident in that shadowland known as 'The Twilight Zone. l A Q: ,Jr r ' .1 ' Max 1 A - I nt i ,f ii i i VISUAL ENTERTAINMENT , , 11 if , J 72-.fi asia C r Pr 'M' Q ' .

Resembling an audience at a major concert at Tarrant County Convention Center or Reunion Arena, students cheer for Rick Presley in the auditorium. Concert popularity exceeds price Tape decks, portable radios, concerts, and mini-headphones The instant the lights went out, thousands of lighters glittered in the darkness. The roar of the crowd subsided as everyone rushed to his seat. Suddenly an explosion of sound burst from the stacks of amps surrounding the stage. Colored spotlights illuminated members of the warmup band at a major concert. Although ticket prices continued to climb upward, usually costing between S10 and S15 each, concerts remained a popular form of entertainment. Country and soul concerts did occasional- ly take place, but rock concerts were by far the most prominent occurrences. With groups such as Rush, Journey, and ACXDC, The Police, Ozzy Osborne, Van Halen, Loverboy, Foreigner, and even the Rolling Stones appearing in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, rock fans had plenty concerts to attend. Most students who went to these shows did so to see and hear the band in person, to buy T-shirts, stickers, and pins, and to be around other people who liked the same sort of music. Yet senior Lonnie lVlcGrew said, The only reason I go to concerts is to meet girls, have fun, and pass out. Many music fans went to every concert that came to town simply because they liked concerts, but a few expressed strong preference for one group. Tracy Hines, senior, emphatically declared, Led Zeppelin is the best! Attending concerts was not the only way students showed how much they enjoyed music. Anyone standing in front of the school before classes started, at lunch, or in the afternoons could have heard radios blar- ing the latest test tunes through windows of passing cars. Cassette and 8-track tape decks often ac- companied AM-FM radios in dashboards and home stereo systems. 'il buy albums to play at home, then record them on cassettes to listen to in my car, explained one senior. A few students couldn't survive without music even for a few hours, and thanks to a new product they didn't have to. Head- phones, with speakers no bigger than a quarter, wired to mini cassette players that could be clipped to the listener's belt debuted and soon became a common sight around school. It seemed that students had become ad- dicted to music, but sophomore Randy Sprinkle gave his explanation, relating, i'Listening to my favorite groups calms me down so I can get my work done. l -so oy 1.35, XIV After attending a French club meeting, students enjoy the teeter-totters at Little Fossil Park. ,fr Sophomore Mark Borge practices motorcross racing, a dangerous but exciting sport enjoyed by several students.

During the warmer months, Twin Points on Eagle Mountain Lake was perhaps the most popular place for students to go to meet peo- ple from other schools. The area lakes offered places to swim, fish, waterski, or have a picnic. The reconstructed and renamed swimming pool across from Haltom High, Barnacle Bill's, and the new White Water Recreation Park provided more water activities for those who enjoyed fun in the sun. For the more competitive type of person, bowling, tennis, and racquetball offered challenge and excitement. For a more relaxed atmosphere, Putt'Putt golf was the answer. Each of the three courses, varying in difficulty, required a certain degree of concentration. Several of the fitness-minded students chose running for their sport. It took a lot of dedica- tion, but yielded not only strength and stamina, but victory ,at competitions such as the i Q u , 1 f - ,, 4 - 3+- Estimating the distance between the ball and the hole, senior Tara Schooler enjoys a game of Putt-Putt Golf.

Roller-skating was popular at both Holiday and Skateland rinks, but on hot Sunday after- noons, the ice-skating rink at the Tandy center was quite refreshing. Camping, a favorite weekend activity, gave students an opportunity to explore nature and see how long they could survive without TVs and air-conditioners. During the winter, when most outdoor ac- tivities were impossible, many students opted to travel to areas where extreme weather made snowskiing possible. Red River, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Crested Butte, and -Purgatory were popular with families and church youth groups. There, students could ride horses, ice-skate on frozen ponds, or .go snowmobiling, depending on the location, as well as risk their necks on the black slopesl .1 .Y-1...

On the contrary, the second night was postponed until February 6, due to the snow and ice which led to school closings that day. Although the delay occurred, hopes were just as high as if a three day lapse was planned. I can't recall the number that tried out, but there were a lot, Mrs. Carol Pyle said.

LI'L ABNER Prisoners' stories get attentio Inmates told of personal experiences with drugs, alcohol, and prist Assemblies tended to range from educa- tional to entertaining programs. Osiris rocked I-laltom, Balfour presented infinite variations of the senior ring, the Air Force Country and Western Band stomped out a selection of good ol' songs, and Mrs. JoAnne Kelly laid down the rules, all in the same place - the auditorium. Not all the students enjoyed each assembly, or paid much attention to what was said, but as long as they got out of class, who complained? On the morning of yet another assembly, over 1200 students crammed their way into the auditorium. Some laughed and talked to the person next to them, while others at- tempted to converse at the top of their lungs with a friend two sections over. Eventually, teachers brought the mass of students into a semblance of order. Those people who bothered to settle down noticed three young, cleancut men sit- ting in chairs on stage. Once the auditorium became fairly quiet, Principal Tommy Hays introduced Mr. Ray Terry, Assistant Direc- tor of the Texas Department of Corrections, He in turn presented the three men, convicts who were currently serving time for felonies. At the sophomore orientation assembly, juniors Brenda Silva and Sidne Armstrong walk up on stage after they are announced student council officers. ASSEMBLIES Each told his story, describing the cir- cumstances leading to conviction and jail sentences. The first inmate was Kelly, a 20-year-old from Houston. Kelly worked for a concert promoter and stated that his job included in- volvement in quite a bit of drugs. One night at a party after a Journey concert, Kel- ly, wasted after taking a gram and a half of coke and four joints, was asked by his boss to return a briefcase to the office. On the way, Kelly looked inside it and found 328,000 He and some friends decided to live on the money in Colorado. He was sentenced to three years for that mistake. The next speaker was 22-year-old Richard. As a young teenager, he raced motorcross bikes and was ranked third in the nation. Yet after starting to use drugs, he went Mfrom best to worst. His attitude had changed and he just didn't care about anything, except drugs. By the time he reached his eighteenth birthday, Richard had become a dealer, and had started stealing to support his own drug habit. He was arrested while on probation and sentenced to ten years for theft. The last prisoner was a 19-year-old fi Arlington. I am serving five years for voluntary manslaughter, said Roli soberly.

With the exception of their parties, the clubs also used this time to make a little profit on projects they sponsored. The Future Teachers of America sponsored a Halloween carnival. It was free to the public and as usual was a big success. The student council had their first secret pal gift exchange, and the holiday committee sold 4'Pucker for a Punkin grams. The Future Homemakers hosted a party for the special education classes at Birdville Elemen- tary. They also served cupcakes to the faculty.

Who's going to ask me? t'Do I have enough money? queried seniors before the prom. But as preparations were made for those going, the main event of the year made interesting conversations. The seniors, in preparation to raise money, in collaboration with the senior executive commit- tee, sold calendars, rubic cubes, candy, sta- tionary, Kimo signs, and buttons. In all they raised 52000. Along with the S1000 raised from the senior show the final cost of the tickets were M6 The biggest controversy concerning the prom was the selection of the senior song. First the class chose Tonight by April Wine. This, accor- ding to Mrs. JoAnn Kelley, was not appropriate for the formal services so the class chose a second song, Through the Yearsil by Kenny Rogers. The controversy was that the majority of the students liked the song and they wanted Brent Daniels, a member of Osiris, to sing it. The final decision was to let Brent sing both of the songs, each at their appropriate programs. PROM Next on the agenda was the choosing of the decorations. The class chose burgundy and ice blue as their colors and the rose as the flower. Decorating the tables were hurricane globes sur- rounded by ivy and the silk flowers. For S7 the seniors had their choice of two backgrounds. The photographers were from Marcel's. Expensive enough? Well, the list of expenses goes on. One of the most expensive was the renting of the tuxedos and the formal gowns. Then there was the buying of the flowers and the parking feesg well that's all, hopefully. As always, the cost of the prom caused seniors to complain. But as everyone entered the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Fort Worth, all their complaints were forgotten. In the dining room, the tables were set and awaiting their occupants. As everyone entered the first thing that was tended to was the buffet. When the serving was gone and everyone was seated, the program began. The an nouncement of Whols Who was first. Several members of the SEC listed the candidates and then the winner were announced. Julie Ann Brown, Byron Wes Steve Mylius, Teresa Nabors, Joanne Richarc son, David Thornburg, Kim Allen, She: Drysdale, Denise McGee and Kim Kingsley wer' those chosen.

To help create interest in the religious service, the time was moved to 3 p.m., for years the services have been at 8 p.m. Still only half of the senior class made it to the service. Reverend Dwaine Greene, pastor of the Birdville Baptist Church and school board member, gave a message on Time, Timely. Attendance at graduation was another story - the parking lots around the school down to the visitor's side of the stadium were full. As the band began Pomp and Cir- cumstancef' seniors' hearts began beating faster with the anticipation of marching in before a filled coliseum. The reality of graduating was coming closer. Seniors lined up in the conference room, the doors opened and the music grew louder First the honor students marched to the doors of the Coliseum floor followed by the A s B s etc What was this a dream? lt seemed like only yesterday a senior was a young kid in the fifth grade wishing that he was in the sixth. No, this was no dream, the moment was finally there, after twelve years of school, it was there. Soon all the seniors were standing in front of their seats being watched by 5,000 or so parents, relatives and friends that came to this special event. After the traditional Star Spangled Ban- ner, seniors listened to Brent Daniels sing the senior song, Through the Years. After a few introductions and recogni- tions, the awarding of the diplomas began. One row stood at a time, slowly making its way to the stage. Finally the last student made her way up to the platform. She walked across it, met in the center by Prin- cipal Tommy Hays, who handed her a diploma and shook her hand The tears of happiness rolled off cheeks and shouts of Jubilation accompanied caps flying across the coliseum I .,.a-vm X GRADUATION W New spirit clubs attract fans' interest, attention In the stands at football games, members of almost any club on campus could be found cheering for the Buffs, but one group of fans broke away from the crowd to form a club of thdrown.

Getting in touch with the inactive or so called invisible student has always been a problem, sponsor Mrs. Jan Edwards commented. The recognition committee recognized anyone who had outstanding achievement, whether in sports, academics, or club activities. Todd Phelps received recognition during football season when be became Player of the Weekw in the Fort Worth Star- Telegram. Senior Pete Ullman also received recognition for his score on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test. Points kept the SC members in line. lt had been set up so that the members re- mained active. Junior Diana McGill received the most points. Ml received most of my points by work- ing in community projects and in school functionsf' Diana replied. The teacher's relationship with SC con- tinued through secret pal activities. STUDENT COUNCIL Contacting invisible student leaders' goal Bench-style foyer furniture choice of officers i'Secret pals is a form of teacher ap- preciation. Students send gifts to teachers on holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter. The teachers do not know who their secret pal is until the end of the year at a revealing party. In the past, the students would put their birthdays on an information sheet for the teachers, then most teachers would go to the records and look up that date and find out who their pals were. So, this year we left off birthdates and just had a Universal Birthday Party, Secretary Debbie McGee said. The teachers told the SC how they felt about their activities through evaluation. The SC evaluation period came around every nine weeks. 'fThe teachers gave us an over all grade of an A, but in the suggestion area, teachers said we needed more student in- volvement, vice-president Steve Mylius remarked. Money to pay for the water tower had been earned by selling aluminum cans, spirit ribbons, and senior t-shirts. The Gong Show assembly raised 31,000 to help, Money from the movie One on One and working the concession stands at one of the JROTC meets also went to the water tower fund. Although the total amount due for the art work was S2,500, City Manager Mr. Pat Moffatt arranged for the SC to pay a 51,000 a year until it is paid. Money also had been raised to buy new furniture for the foyer. The council had picked the type of furniture to be pur- chased and settled on a price. The furniture was bench type, made of wood and carpet. The carpet colors, which covered the furniture, was dark brown. Many pieces of the furniture were also ultrasstriped in orange and brown. The cost of the furniture was approx- imately 33,400 It was built by carpenters, Mr. A. D. Pickett, senior counselor Mrs. Libby Conant stated. Mrs. Conant ordered the furniture after the SC officers made their choice. 'fDespite all the tasks we took on and no matter what assemblies we presented not everyone is not going to like them, Presi- dent Robb White commentedl 1 Y' For most of the year, students dragged chairs out of the cafeteria: but by May juniors Billy Kemp and Michelle Mays were using the new foyer furniture.

Senior Executive Committee ln the opinion of one student, it was a necessary part of life at school. She referred to the Senior Executive Committee, of which she was a member. The committee participated in two money-making projects to raise funds for the senior class. They sold KIMO banners, at a dollar apiece, not only to make money, but to uplift school spirit. They also sold Rubik's cubes, both the large size at 53.50, and the smaller keychains at 33.25. Before Christmas, these seniors made and signed a Christmas card to the student body and put it up in front of the office. The card was decorated with red crepe paper and included Frosty the Snowman, a puppy peeking out of a stocking, and candy canes. In charge of senior class projects, the committee narrowed down the nominations for class song, theme, prom decorations, and colors. They decided the selections Through the Years by Kenny Rogers, Theme from Mahogany by Diana Ross, and Tonight by April Wine would offer the seniors several different musical styles to choose from. Color choices in- cluded the combinations of ice blue and peach, ice blue and burgundy, and mauve and burgundy. The committee staged an assembly for the seniors to give them some idea how each song would sound and describe other choices regarding the prom. Homecoming main obligation more active than officers During April and May, the commit- tee made decorations and other preparations for the senior prom. The Senior Executive Committee consisted of 23 seniors. Members filled out applications at the end of the junior year and the number of students who applied was thought to be about right by the spon- sors, Mrs. Jo Pennington and Mrs. Thelma Hill. Members gave several reasons for wanting ot be on the committee. I wanted to be involved in school ac- tivities my senior year, said Hollie Gallier. It gave me the chance to work with student government. It is my senior year and I'd like the school run the way my friends and I want it, stated Julie Brown. Another group of students, the class officers, participated in student government, too. Duties of officers in- cluded voting on the theme for Homecoming, U50 Years of Ex- cellence, deciding on decorations for the foyer, plus making and storing them for homecoming. Class officers gained their positions by elections held the previous year, for junior and senior officers, and an election in the fall for sophomore officers. ln the Recognition Assembly, senior class officers passed out awards that teachers and club sponsors had chosen for outstanding students.l SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Contestants cash in at district and state They captured 16 events at district and qualified for nationals I was so excited that I could have flown home, Mrs. Judy Griggers, sponsor of Future Business Leaders of America, said.

The number of checks was the largest in the state. Another award concerning the checks was that they were also the largest percent of student par- ticipants. The group was recognized for both of these achievements at the state convention. In the area convention in Fort Worth, the club had seven winners in the competition. Darla Lytton, Ken- neth Sharp, Jessie Taylor, Lillian Lathrop, Linda Hollowell, Pam Ewrin, concerning health related topics. From the area competition the entire group took their projects to the state conven- tion. Darla won there as well. Gary, along with Teresa Courchene, was recognized for their efforts in the promotion of the blood drive. And for those who kicked the habit during the Great American Smoke- Out, sponsored by the Youth Against Cancer club, stickers were passed out saying, Kiss me, I don't Smoke, pledges were made, and there was even a poster contest. Senior Linda Hollowell was recognized for her participation in the Smoke-Out. Presenting the certificate to her was Birdville group president and biology teacher Mr. Marvin Reed. Other sponsored events they par- ticipated in were a program concern- ing breast cancer, and a trip to area junior high and elementary schools teaching the students the dangers of smoking, chewing, and dipping tobac- co products.l and Gary Patton.

I 'S ' f swift ls 'gl 3 in Q -U Guzzlers get taste of culture Gummy bears, gingerbread part of foreign language Perhaps one of the most interesting sub- jects a student could take is that of a foreign language. Not only does that stu- dent learn the language, but he also learns the cultures and habits as well. To teach a foreign language one must first know the language as well as he knows his own. Ability to translate is also another task required. In the French department, Mrs. Jeanie Fisher, two year sponsor and teacher of the class, turned an ordinary class into one of the most popular classfclub organiza- tions in the school. Active in the fund-raising aspect of a club's duties, members sold food, candy, belt buckles, Easter-Grams and various other items to add to their fund. The money went for the trip to New Orleans, and the rest went toward various parties. Mrs. Fisher became pregnant and was told by her doctor that she should remain at home. So, for the remaining half of the last semester Mr. Mike Moore, Richland graduate, and graduate of the University of Texas in Austin, became her replacement. To everyone's surprise, this substitute spoke fluent French, became familiar with the class schedule and closed the year. Mr. Moore and Mrs. Fisher kept in touch throughout the leave and the students did ln the German Club, though the number was quite small, the list of activities was long. They competed in the annual Novemberfest, where they entered their booth and won first place. The booth was decorated from the theme of the Hobbit. Their gingerbread house and costumes placed second, and a team of rootbeer guzzlers won second place. At the Fort Worth Zoo, they learned the names of animals in German. Prior to their visit they had a weenie roast. To raise money, as every club must do, the German club sold Gummy Bears and cherry drops. According to Alan Miller, co-treasurer, lt was a big hit. They also entered a skit in the Gong Show. To close another year the club had their banquet at the Southern Kitchen. They were all presented GAG awards, and those students that maintained A's in the class received certificates. Another event concerning the club was the three week trip to Europe that three students along with Mrs. Fredna Sturch, class and club sponsor, took in June. Those who went were Mary Trimble, Debbie McGee, and Susan Lovelady. They traveled to France, ltaly, Switzerland, Austria and Germanyl not miss any work. French Club.

FRENCH AND GERMAN CLUBS Anniversary backdrop first project Where to hang Buffalo now question for administrators to answer Getting into the art club did not require enrolling in art. Twenty-three members, only 17 enrolled in art classes, joined the club. Mrs, Jerrie Jo Wright, art instructor, also served as sponsor. The club's first project involved making and setting up the backdrop for the Haltom-Richland Chamber of Commerce banquet in the W. G. Thomas Jr. Col- iseum. Texas Governor William P. Clements Jr. appeared as guest speaker. The backdrop was a large blue curtain of velvet which was provided by the Chamber of Commerce. Big cardboard let- ters were hung in front of the curtain. The letters, covered in silver glitter read H25 Years of Progress. We worked hard on it, it's not everyday the governor visits our city, said president Marty Kimbrough, During the Richland pep rally Marty and Byron West, vice-president, presented the reconstructed buffalo head which was van- dalized by Richland students, to student body president Robb White. We are not sure where to hang it. Sites for its placement are the cafeteria or the auditorium. The problem with where it is to be hung is due to its weight and tenden- cy to be vandalized again, assistant prin- cipal Mrs. JoAnn Kelley said.

ART CLUB The tour was to help the seniors in the club to see what the school had to offer. lt also allowed the juniors and sophomore members to see if a career for them was in art, Lisa Jones, secretary, remarked. I thought the school was interesting. It was like being in a make believe worldg it also looked like one, sophomore Kai Lewin added. At Olla Podrida, a type of novelty shop- ping mall they also toured, they ate lunch in one of the mall's restaurants. Olla Podrida was different from any other mall live ever seen, It had two levels to shop on and the outside of it looked like a giant barn. It was also made of wood, Byron said. Haltom, Watauga, and North Oaks Junior Highs attended an art class workshop. The students were taken on a tour of the school and then brought back to the art room where Mrs, Judy Horstman, a free lance artist, told them of her work and how she got started in that field, Mrs. Wright said. The art club of both Haltom and Richland sponsored an art show at the Mule Alley in the Exchange Building in the Stockyards. The show featured work from Smithfield, Central, and Haltom Junior Highs. The high schools which entered the show were Haltom, Keller, Richland, and Fort Worth Christian. The art work was gathered in our school foyer and judged. Only the winning work went to Mule Alley, Marty explained. The winners from Haltom included, seniors Denese McGee, Randall Ferris, Stacy Carson, and sophomore Bret Bertholf. The art shows did not stop there. The school show had to be set up. The site for the show was in the gymnastics' gym. The show went up easier this year than ever beforeg everyone was busy working to finish early, Joanne Richardson remarked. The winners received ribbons, however top winners received both trophies and rib- bons. The top winner was Bret Bretholf. He won best of show for a drawing of the rock group Pink Floyd. All the winning work from our school was taken over to the coliseum to compete against Richland in the Birdville District Art Show. Both school clubs again got together and set up the show. The art shows and the art club's ac- tivities came to an end with the North Hills Mall Art Show. The show featured winning work from the district show.l ,fy my is KN yykl B' 0 .4 ft fy. I I ...

ART CLUB Comedy expressed in acting, props Gun falls apart in act while blue ball represents baby boy No one should choose a play and hope the characters are there. You have to know your personnel, drama teacher, Mrs. Kay Van Norden, said. The Drama Club busily presented plays that fit their personalities, which were usually comedies. Tom Jones, a gimmicky, slap stick, comedy, revolving around an abandoned infant, was performed in December. Some of the characters in Tom Jones were played by the same person. Tony Brown, junior, portrayed the Doc- tor, Captain Blifil, and Fitzpatrick, San- dy Eastwood, senior, performed as the Highwayman and Mr. Alworthy, and the Partridge was played by Paul Cun- ningham, junior, and Tony Carter, junior. If two people could play one character, who would care if one person played two characters? replied Mrs. Van Norden. One of the exciting events that the Drama Club looked forward to was the one act play contest at Bowie, March 26. Shakespearels comedy, Midsum- mer Night's Dream, was the play chosen. This comedy dealt with super- natural fairies and mortal beings ex- periencing love strickened jealousies, and practical jokes that made their lives more exciting. Although the play's performance did not receive an award, senior Sandy Eastwood's performance of Ruck granted him a place in the all-star cast and senior Keith Jones' portrayal of Thesus was voted an alternate in the all- star cast. The props for each play were unique- ly made by the drama classes to fit the mood and feelings of each scene. They were made of bright colors and proved to be original when a blue ball represented a bouncing baby boy in Tom Jones. The profit made from each play paid for the play itself, the materials needed for the props and building, set and costumes. The BISD provided money for supplies such as paint, hammers, and nails for the props. Play tryouts were open to everyone. According to Mrs. Van Norden, there First row: Jill Johnson, Sandy Harris, Steve Mylius, Tony Brown. Second row: Laura Yanes, Rosy Aguirre, Dianna Orrick, Chris LeBlanc, Ladonna Baker. Third row: Becky Stanfield, Steven Wilson, Tony Coffman, Susan Stringfellow, Carma Ralph, Evelyn Poland, Paul Cunningham.

Fifth row: Dianna McGill, Joey Garrett, Mike Fransted, John Scott Davis, Sandy Eastwood, Del Pentecost, Tanna Hale, Joan Martensen. DRAMA CLUB were several people who wanted to be in drama but were not able to. Mrs. Van Norden said, I wouldn't want to put on a show that wasn't open to everyone because for some people, schedule difficulties kept them out of drama. But the more important parts usually went to a drama club member. I liked playing Mr. Western in Tom Jones, because we got to ad lib. There is always ad libbing in a play because people always make mistakes, Kevin Daniel said. ln 'Tom Jones' there were several mistakes and one of them was my gun. It kept falling apart while I was trying to hold up Sandi Harris, replied Sandy Eastwood. As Mrs. Van Norden dedicated her skill to her students she summarized the year by saying, The shows were chosen for the kids. This yearls group of kids were so funny because in the comedies they reacted spontaneously to one another. Besides, you want a show that the audience will enjoy. l A-vsp.

Close to a hundred people are standing rigid at attention. A command is sounded, Forward - march, forward - marchll' No, this wasn't the Bataan death march, but another summer band rehearsal. As the students marched across the practice field, drum majors Gary Osborn and Julie Brown screamed commands that caused for- mations to turn, flip, mark-time, and finally, the long awaited halt. But the band did not go unrewarded for their efforts. While marching proudly in their new corps style uniforms, the band earned a first division rating in UIL marching competition. The band also competed in the Cleburne Invita- tional Marching Contest receiving a first division rating. In individual com- petition, the flag corps, sponsored by Miss Miriam Duell and led by Captain Becky Smith and Lieutenant Tammy Malone, also received a first division rating. Band was not composed solely of marching. After football season, the band was divided into two groups - BAND symphonic and concert. After working on prepared UIL music, the sym- phonic band made a one, but a two in sightreading. Ask any band member what the highlight of the year was for them, and he or she would more than likely reply, The trip to Durangof, Band members traveled to Albu- querque by plane, and to Durango, Colorado, via busses. The band stayed at the Tamarron Inn, a luxury ski resort. Not only did the band manage to have a great deal of fun snowtubing and sightseeing, they also placed well in the Durango Fine Arts Festival. Symphonic band earned straight divi- sion one ratings and the best in class' award. Concert band, conducted by Mr. Greg Hull, also received straight divi- sion one ratings and came in second for the best in class award, beaten out only by Wichita Falls High School.

'AI like making music with my students and getting to know them bet- ter as people. I like performing too! Mrs. Carol Pyle exclaimed. The list of performances and awards are somewhat large. Activities included hosting competi- tion, attending festivals, and entering competition. They hosted three rounds of all-region competition, two of which were on campus. They also entered the events as five placed in districtg those were, Lonnie McCloud, Missy Malone, James Miller, B. J. Thatcher, Dawn Skelton. One served as an alter- nate to the all-region choir and one was selected for the all-region choir. Sophomore Lonnie McCloud, was the only member to be chosen for this honor. He along with Mrs. Pyle attend- ed a workshop. He then traveled to San Antonio where he sang with the all-state choir. the choir, made of approximately twelve members also performed in competition. The group received a first division rating at UIL competition and at Sandy Lake. In other UIL performances the group as a whole did more than their share of winning. Fifty percent receiv- ed first division ratings. The girls were the first of their group to ever receive a division I rating. To raise money the group sold citrus fruit from South Texas. With the money earned they were able to give six voice lesson scholarships. With the remaining money, they had their ban- quet on the Brazos River in Waco. The money, totalling 3400, was stolen from the choir office. Despite this Mrs. Pyle took out a loan from the bank in her nameg the students paid the money back with candy sales, and they were able to have their banquet.

Preparing for the annual Halloween carnival gave the Future Teachers of America plenty to do. The carnival was the first major project. First, members had to organize the booths, then they had to make costumes, and then they visited area merchants to ask for donations of prizes. But as the carnival drew near, the club, being more organized than usual, was ready and waiting for the arrival of the kids, according to Mrs. Becky Shirley, sponsor. And they did come, ap- proximately 300, accompanied by parents. Children filled the foyer, main hall and gym going from booth to booth. The cake walk and animal walk were the most popular sections of the car- nival. As it happens every year the cakes and animals were the first goods to run out. A new addition to the car- nival was a spook house which tunneled through the auditorium. The ordeal only lasted a few hours because all the booths sold out quickly. With the exception of the General Store, the grab bag booth and the snackbar, all the others were free. Next on the agenda for the FTA was the planning of teachers' appreciation activities, Teaching Day and visiting Cook's Children Hospital. On teachers' appreciation day, the club sent little gifts to the teachers and on several occasions sent food to the teachers' lounge. On teaching day, one of the major reasons the membership is so large, the students traveled to area elemen- tary and junior high schools to help a teacher for the day. Teaching day was how the students were able to see what teaching might really be like, according to Mrs. Shirley. Every year Birdville Elementary teachers have a faculty luncheon and 25 members of FTA fill in for the teachers. Grading papers, calling roll, or just helping students are some of the situa- tions that members encountered on teaching day. At Christmas, several of the members visited Cook's Children's Hospital. The group brought gifts and visited each child and presented them with a gift to cheer them up. Some of the children didnit want members to leave. Later they started preparing for the state convention in Houston. They entered their scrapbook, made by the historian. The book used the cartoon character 'Smurf' throughout the pages. Listed in the scrapbook with pictures of members were their hobbies, a page about the sponsors, and pictures and agendas from the activities. The nine members and one sponsor traveled in a van to the convention. They listened to speakers talk about the teaching profession. One night before leaving, they ate at one of Houston's seafood restaurants. Since the van was locked in a bus lot, members rode in taxis. The round trip to the restaurant cost S29.l FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Activities intertwine Serving community creates better understanding To develop leadership and service, the Future Homemakers of America worked toward improving themselves as an in- dividual and family member, as a person in the school and community and for adult life. tilt helps us have a better understanding of the outside world and the people in the community, Evelyn Poland, FHA vice- president of programs, said. Separated into three chapters Mrs. Billie Sommermeyer sponsored Birdville FHA, Mrs. Sarah Gomez, Single Survival, and Mrs. Mary Atkins sponsored Haltom Hero. Meeting once a month during class, each club planned activities and area FHA meetings. Skyline High School hosted the area meeting March 6 for members in good standing with discussions on current topics as home, family, and babies. The theme was the Great American FHA Hero. Limiting the attendance to three outstanding members, Haltom hosted the state meeting in Fort Worth in April, This enabled them to take more than the allot- ted three, Mrs. Sommermeyer explained. Beginning with the homecoming, FHA sold mum-o-grams, which led to many other fund-raisers and projects. FHA helped with the Future Teachers of America Halloween carnival while Single Survival hosted a Halloween party for the early childhood class at South Bird- ville Elementary. The students dressed in costumes as they assisted the children in games, puppets and refreshments. With the arrival of Christmas the clubs displayed a large Christmas card in front of the office. Mrs. Sommermeyer's group collected food for a needy family in the school. Visiting the Crossroad Developmental Center for retarded children, the Single Survival students presented the children with candy cane stick horses. 'Alt is good to participate in a group because it gives experience in planning and organizing for the communityf, Mrs. Gomez said. Once again, at Easter the FHA students worked with the early childhood develop- ment classes at South Birdville. Working with three nursing homes throughout the year, the FHA members visited them bringing favors and an occa- sional party. HAS you grow up, you need experience with many things, and this lets the older people know someone cares, Evelyn said. During National FHA Week in February the clubs did something each day to publicize FHA in a positive way. They hosted a teacher appreciation breakfast one morning and another day they took favors to a nursing home. As a fund raising project, each chapter worked at the Texas State Fair for FHA Day. The Texas Association of FHA awarded a drawing of S100 to one FHA chapter. Working half a day and attending school half of the day, Mrs, Atkins' Home Economic Cooperative Education classes helped with many FHA activities.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Spirit builders 'back the pack' True Bisons, alias Morons, caretakers of Buffalo Bill-type school flag D Clapping their hands, stomping their feet, and chanting at the top of their voices, a new club formed that soon became the largest organized club in the school. The Buff Backers, with 110 members, whether they were lined up against the auditorium wall or occupying the back rows, made up the majority of the sound at each pep rally. Giving the athletes a feeling of support and backing the cheerleaders and Highsteppers for overall spirit became their purpose. Invitation was open to any boy or girl to join. Seniors Cindy Pemberton and Renauda McMahon both acted as co- founders and co-captains of the group. The response was tremendous and a surprise to the both of them, When we started the club, we wanted to have a relaxed situation where everybody could have fun, Cindy commented. Renauda added, UI personally think we picked up the overall morale of the school. Sponsors for the Backers, Mrs. Jackie Slaughter and Mrs. Mickie Peterson, both agreed to sponsor the organization. We back the pack was the slogan the club used to boost spirit in the school. The slogan was made up by Cindy and printed on the club shirts which were orange and black. They occasionally sat in a group at the games, but they would meet friends and boyfriends and the group would deteriorate. The majority of the club attended all the home games, but lack of adequate transportation resulted in a slimmer turn- out at away games. Earlier the group had two male members, but they both dropped out because other boys did not join the group. Next year the club plans to recruit more boys. They also plan to be better organized and plan ahead, the club was put together fast. There were no rules in the club, just to wear t-shirts to every game. Next year they will have rules and squad leaders. The leaders of these squads will report in- formation to members of upcoming events. Another group adding their share of spirit to pep rallies were the True Bisonsf' Numbered around twenty this organization underwent a few changes. They were given a sponsor, a new name lformally the Morons, with costumes to matchl, and respectability, so desperately wanted. Basketball coach Don Derryberry agreed to sponsor the group. He accepted the task as a challenge. Fired up and ready for every pep rally, this group served as a spark plug in the spirit department. Prior to this change the group had the reputation of being loud and blunt, and was considered just another group gaining attention of those who watch. The boys presented the new school flag at the Arlington-Lamar pep rally. They also car- ried the flag before the crowd at the Richland pep rally. School mascot Felicia Johnson added, i'What they do is okay to a certain extent, but sometimes they will get the crowd too involved that it gets our schedule messed up. i'This year we were not lacking in the spirit departmentf, Coach Derryberry commented. I see some good things happening in Haltom and the True Bisons are a part of that, he addedl lmitator Rick Presley enchants the au- dience by asking Troy Dean and Bo Brown to sing with him.

TRUE BISONS The cheerleaders form one of their pyramids for a pep-rally. Preceding the Richland basketball game the district regulated them against doing stunts more than two people high. Leading in the fight song, Amy Krupka participated in the Sam Houston pep-rally.

Z F our added to squad among adjustments Homecoming, Richland Week call for more posters Noting the sudden transitions such as moving the pep-rallies to the auditorium and a larger squad Pam Rodriquez, senior, commented, HI feel there is a way the changes will work out better in the years to comef, The responsibilities of the cheerleader went far beyond what many people realized. We have a responsibility to each otherg for in- stance, if one cheerleader does something bad, it reflects on the others, Amy Krupka said. The cheerleaders attended all foot- ball and boys' basketball district games and some volleyball games. They were not required to cheer at baseball games because they worked a concession stand. Homecoming week and the week I-laltom played Richland in football called for more practice and prepara- tion. Each cheerleader made four large and two small posters. They prepared cakes and goodies to feed the junior varsity football team on Thursday during homeroom and the varsity on Friday during homeroom. Decorating the players' homes with posters, streamers and candy helped to build the spirit of the team before each game. This was the first year for 13 cheerleaders, including a mascot. The change, decided upon by Mrs. JoAnne Kelley and last year's principal, Mr. Leon Hagmann, was so the squad could attend more activities and games. The change from nine aroused mixed emotions in all of the girls. It is hard to get 13 people together at the same time and too many dif- ferent personalities to get along with, Cindi McMullin said. The cheers look better when we are all together, but there are too many for the stunts, Melinda White said. On the other hand, Melanie Nowell thought it was an advantage, I like being able to split up and attend more games at once, she said. The pep-rallies in the auditorium presented another change for the cheerleaders. Pep-rallies had been in the upstairs gym but administrators 4 decided to have mandatory pep-rallies in the auditorium. This change also called for mixed emotions among the cheerleaders. I really did like pep-rallies in the auditorium because everyone had to come and it was a change, but we couldn't throw candy and gum when the band played eat 'em up, Felisia Johnson remarked. A different outlook came from Carol Evans, The pep-rallies would probably be better in the gym, because people can move around. Once something has been done a cer- tain way for many years, people resist change. Sponsoring two car washes, selling megaphones, ribbons and pins all served as fund-raisers. Instead of cheering, the girls worked at a concession stand at all home baseball games. This helped the cheerleaders raise money for their summer vacation trip to South Padre Island. Nine out of thirteen girls, spon- sored by Mrs. Bettye Wright, drove to Padre April 28 and returned May 3.I First row: MaryAnn Richardson, Amy Krupka, Second row: Pam Rodriguez, Sue McDade, Melinda White, Tara Schooler, Third row: Carol Evans, Melanie Nowell, Felisha Johnson, Cindi McMullin.

M Award-winning as always 'Beauty knows no pain, ' Rangerette organizer says And now Haltom High School proud- ly presents the award winning Highstep- persll' echoed through the stands at football halftimes as the Highsteppers marched onto the field. But no one ever explained just how many awards they had won. ln the 16 years of being organized, we have never gone to a drill team work shop in which we have not brought home top awards, Mrs. Dorothy Mize, Highstepper sponsor, proudly remarked. Attending drill team camp at Southern Methodist University, July 13- 17, helped the girls learn 12 new routines. After overall camp competition individual ribbons were received by Cindy Few, Laura Null, and Dee Dee McDade for pom-poms. Julie Wilson, Kim Kingsley, and Colleen Lynch re- ceived ribbons for Dance, and Sandi Harris, Shelly Evanisky and Kay Caldwell received ribbons in marching. The entire team earned the Gussie Nell Davis Award for participation. Ratings also included a fourth place in dance, third in marching and an outstanding in Creative Night. Prior to drill team camp, the officers attended a workshop at SMU. Michelle Maxwell, captain, was a three ribbon winner in dance, pom-pom, and march- ing, and Mary Trimble, senior officer, a two ribbon winner in dance and march- ing. Outstanding officer and superior squad awards were earned by Cindy, Mary, Sandi, Julie, Laura, Kim and Michelle. Michelle was then chosen to perform at the Dallas Maverick basketball game along with 54 other girls from the United States. Becoming a Highstepper requires coordination, rhythm, a good character, passing grades and time, but more than ficer, said. As a Highstepper the girls must endure pain such as a high kick in the cold weatherf' Michelle said. Breaking in a new pair of tennis shoes at camp was quite painful, Kennilyn Poole said. Although for other girls a painful mo- ment may have been experienced in another way, such as having a boyfriend who doesn't understand all the time and work of Highsteppers, Cynthia Buttrill said. Mrs. Mize explained the thought, Beauty knows no pain, which Gussie Nell Davis, ex-sponsor of the Kilgore Pangerettes, stressed to the girls. MTO be best in all they do, the Highsteppers must live by this quote, Mrs. Mize said. Other activities the Highsteppers par- ticipated in were the Oktoberfest and Senior Citizens Fair at Wiley G. Thomas Coliseum, the Highsteppers helped set up and carry the items. For a fund raiser the Highsteppers sold calendars, which helped to pay for their cubes, which they used for props. The closing of another year brought the annual spring show, entitled t'Gala of the Stars. The show began with the girls in evening gowns, carrying a carna- tion, with a formal introduction and pro- cession onto the stage. Skits, high kicks and tap dances all played a part of the show. The routines ranged from Surfin USA with beach balls to Private Eyes with guns and surprise eyerglasses. Each squad presented their own dance arrangement and costume. The 42nd Street Spectacular' brought out the finale with all the Highsteppers showing their high kicks. They really came through like troopers, Mrs. Mize said, Their timing couldn't have been any better.

HIGHSTEPPERS . ii . ..... Major reviews the JROTC at the spring federal inspection. Numbers in enroll- ment may force the unit to close or to consolidate. Rain interferes with trips Cecilia Couch places second in Louisiana rifle meet Enticed by the military drills per- formed by the U.S. Marine Corps and the Army Fife and Drum Corps, the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps took off for the State Fair of Texas in Dallas in October. But rain ruined the day. The state fair was awful. When it started raining, everybody would run into the buildings. We ate our full of food samples though, Sergeant David Andrews commented. Rain ruined another field trip for the JROTC. 'Aggie for a Day, was fun, but it rained all day and since we were sup- posed to wear our uniforms, l felt that mine must have shrunk two sizes, cadet captain Chris Douglas, junior, said. On another trip the JROTC rode in a helicopter provided by the Grand Prairie Naval Air Station and flew over the school then back to the station. In November the rifle team competi- ROTC tions started with a meet in Wichita Falls. Placing seventh there, the rifle team took ninth at the University of Texas at Arlington match. At the Dallas County Invitational Rifle Meet in Irving, the team placed first in prone. In another shooting contest, the turkey shoots, Allen Boyer and Leticia Martinez won first place with Robert Essler, substitute teacher, winning the faculty category. Mrs. Jackie Slaughter and Mrs. Nataline Whitfield tied for first place in the female faculty category. At the Holiday in Dixie Festival in Shreveport, Louisiana, the rifle team placed second in overall performance out of 32 teams. Also junior Cecilia Couch placed second in individual shooting out of 186. I liked that trip more than any other, Cecilia said. But there was one trip we went on that came close -- that was the trip to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. l At the JROTC social event of the year, Connie Crouch and Stephen Cooke reign as queen and king.

Class members can join the club if they desired extra activities. We elect no officers, Mr. Ron Frank, class in- structor, explained. Aside from class assignments, Mr. Frank arranged for speakers involved in the outdoors to visit including Mr. Ron Johnson of the United States Forest Service, Mr. Clay Yondell and Mr. Jeff Haines of the Richland Hills Fire Department, Mr. Jon Loven of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Mr. Ernest De LaRosa and Mr. Larry Osborne of the Texas Parks f Q and Wildlife Service and Mr. Tom Dickens of the Explorer Scouts of America. Class projects included building custom fishing rods and lures and loading shells. Some students built black powder guns from a kit. We study conservation and ecology in the classroom and apply it when we go on campouts. For exam- ple, we never cut trees or build fires unless one has already been built by someone before.

A place for everything Publications staffs co-host TAJD convention As two weeks into the summer rolled around, dedicated members of the year- book staff worked to finish up their assign- ment and start a summer life. Since moving into a new room, oppor- tunity for others interested in some jour- nalism related career or since adding a new dark room, photography was a choice to be considered. Everyone got their own drawer to keep their yearbook material togetherf' said Kim Allen, editor, but no one was ever sure where anything was. ln the fall members in publications were asked to help host the Texas Association of Journalism Director's Convention in downtown Fort Worth. Members of Richland publications also helped. They helped in doing things such as registration and organizing speakers, Mrs. Jennifer Tomlinson commented. At competition during the convention Sharon Pelzel placed in yearbook layout and design. On their return to school most that had attended the convention were greeted to the class of On Campus Suspension due to being out of place after curfew. Many referred to this class as honors OCS. During the year the 1981 BUFFALO placed All-Texas Honorable Mention in Texas High School Press Association, a first rating and All-Columbian at Columbia Scholastic Press Association, first class by the National Scholastic Press Association, and at the lnterscholastic League Press Conference editor Wayne Trimble won first in theme idea and second for his in- troduction. The yearbook itself received the Award of Achievement. April Van Dever entered a picture she had taken of herself and two friends in the Parent Teachers Association Cultural Arts Fair and was selected the winner from Texas for national competition.

Members of the news staff all knew that stories were due on Mrs. Jennifer Tomlinson's desk by no later than Monday before the paper was to come out. Ads were expected the same day. This left only one week for the reporters to investigate and interview for the information needed to reveal the whole story from all points of view. Government teacher Mr. Pat Pruitt required students to write letters to the editor. Opinions on the carpet, school politics made reading the editorial page a must. A new face in the paper was Floyd, a cartoon character created by sophomore Bret Bertholf. Floyd, a realist, added a little controversy to just about every issue. Sometimes we had to censor Bret's cartoon. They were practical situations, but we knew better than to run them, said Mrs. Tomlinson. In the summer the staff traveled to Arkadelphia, Arkansas, along with the newspaper and yearbook staff of Richland with schools from all over Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas. ln competition with 50 ADVERTISING others Sheri Drysdale won best news story. In other competition at Texas Association of Journalism Directors Convention, Sheri Drysdale placed second in feature writing and Neal Quimby received an honorable men- tion in editorials. The spring issues of 1981 Images placed All-Texas in Texas High School Press Association. At lnterscholastic League Press Conference the 1982 fall issues were recognized with the Award of Distinguished Merit. ln individual UIL competition Steve Mylius won third in feature, and sixth in news, Glenda Frady, third in editorial and fifth in news, and Neal Quimby placed fifth in editorial. Steve and Glenda advanced to regionals, where Steve was alter- nate to state in feature writing. To receive the Women in Com- munications Scholarship is quite an achievement. At this time four students have received and renewed their scholarships. Out of 26 offered, Steve Mylius and Sheri Drysdale won scholarships. Both Wayne Trimble, editor of the 1981 Buffalo now at- tending Baylor, and Larry Osborn, senior at North Texas majoring in advertising, renewed their scholarships.l mf V,,..v ? .'.llf f' is. is 1 -s I Xi git! i H gf! . . n 'li Q. 1 Photographer Ed Trayford watches others get gag gifts.

AUTO BODY Athletes' pride and victory follow encouragement Beginning in the fall with the junior varsity football team's district title, Haltom broke away from the reputation of being an athletically inferior school. In February, the boys' varsity basketball team defeated Richland and Bowie to win the second half of district play, but lost the title by only a few points later in the same week. Throughout the year, Buff athletes performed competitively and aggressively, bringing home pride and respect when they didn't bring home trophies or victories. The athletes received extra encouragement from the enlarged cheerleader squad, members of two new spirit clubs called Buff Backers and True Bisons, and mandatory pep rallies. A new weight room, new training rooms, and new equip- ment made preparation to compete much easier for athletes To facilitate practicality and convenience, new shower, locker and dressing rooms were also built. Overall, athletes fared better than ever at Haltom.I Varsity defense plans strategy as they await the play during the game against the Trinity Trojans.

Sports reach all areas Softball captures most interest Behind the glamour and glit- ter of high school athletics hid students who enjoyed competing on a level all their own. Drifting down the slopes at Red River, banging a softball out of the park, and diving across the rac- quetball court were just a few of the many events that cluttered their weekends, holidays, and evenings. Although dodging a right hook or a left upper cut may not seem much like recreation several students participated in golden gloves competition. Lightweight contender Reece Jordan cut down Dunbar's Kenneth Baty but, Fort Worth's Tom Hank lowered the boom on junior Ran- dy Gann for the flyweight title. Taekwondo, a type of karate, had Arnold Alegandino dodging kicks instead of punches. Unlike boxing and karate, taekwondo was not used for defense purposes. lt is a much more graceful sport. You use more kicking mo- tion, he explained. Another sport that was taking place in arenas all over the coun- try was rodeo. A hush fell over the crowd. Suddenly the shoot flew open and a huge steer began running and jumping wild- ly about. The ringing bell at- tached around its neck blared throughout the arena and the race was on.

Red River, Angel Fire, and Breckenridge overflowed with holiday vaca- tioners and skiers. As springtime sunshine cleared away winter clouds, and the days got longer, the ball parks began their annual registration. North East Optimist and Haltom City leagues within weeks were in full swing. Hey, batter, batter, come on batter, were chants that were echoed throughout the parks by infielders. Juniors Trae Fowler and Mercedes Flores, both catchers, spent their summer as members of NEO teams. Two other students that found themselves in the heat of com- petition were seniors David Tobey and Todd Runnels. Run- nels coached the Dodgers, a lit- tle league baseball team. Tobey coached the Bobcats a little league softball team. They both led their teams to season open- ing winsl INDIVIDUAL SPORTS Young team strives Junior qualifies for regional meet Having the disadvantage of being a young team, the boys' cross country team did make their mark for future improvements. The boys won second place at the Fort Worth Country Day ln- vitational, then received third place at the district meet. Junior Mike Ford set a record for being the only runner to qualify for regional competition as a junior, and being only the third person ever to do it. Ford was also a member of the all- district team and the most im- proved runner of Haltom's JV team, according to Coach Ar- thur Tribble. Other outstanding runners in- cluded juniors Johnny Ramirez, 'fin 'Je.9,..s v 1 Jim Pikul, Herman Spivey, and John Arterburn. The team, in preparation for the meets planned their workouts before and after school, consisting of lifting weight, going on long runs, doing running drills daily, hill work, stadium laps, and interval work on the track. Mike Ford, Johnny Ramirez, Jim Pikul, John Arterburn, Brent Miller, Earnest Torrez, Bobby Lugh, Tony Cater, Craig Moore, Kevin Dickerman, Jim- my Fernandez and David Mor- row are all juniors and said they were going to work extremely hard to be the first boys' cross country team at Haltom High to ever win district.

BOYS' CROSS COUNTRY Feer do all the talking JV wins district title first time For the girls' varsity and junior varsity cross country teams, winning district was an expected and captured goal. Many improvements were made with the arrival of sophomores Brenda Silva and Melissa Boyett who were add- ed to the varsity team roster. Returning lettermen included Teresa Nabors, Debra Richardson, Darla Taylor, Joanne Richardson and Carla Taylor. After capturing the district championship, their new goal was to qualify for state. They continued regular workouts to keep in shape for regionals, then confidently traveled to Vandergriff Park for regionals and walked away with a se- cond place finish that assured their spot in the state meet. The team as a whole im- proved their times tremen- dously. They decreased their times from 30 seconds to over a minute in the two mile run. For the girls, winning area meets became a routine. The varsity won at South Oak Cliff, Country Day, Arlington, Spruce, St. Marks, Grapevine, and district. They received se- cond at Richardson, Lamar and regionals, with only Highland Park defeating them each time. At the state meet the girls finished twelfth for the second year in a row. All-district team for the var- sity included Teresa Nabors, first, Debra Richardson, third, Joanne Richardson, fourth, and Darla Taylor, fifth. In the junior varsity division, Daphne Shaner, placed first, Laura Glover, second, Becky Panto- ja, third. Both teams' workouts in- cluded two hours of running drills, two to seven mile runs, and repeating quarters. They lifted weights usually before running. All workouts were during sixth period and after school. Teresa Nabors was injured most of the year with a stress- ed fracture in her leg, but with a time of 12:11, she captured the two-mile course record. The team as a whole set two records which consisted of be- ing the first team to win district three years in a row and quali- fying and competing in the state meet two consecutive years. The junior varsity also set a record by being the first JV girls team from Haltom to win district. I love all of them and would be proud to call any one of them my daughter, added second year Coach Arthur Tribble. l iiiytfg .

District crushed, reputation built up Out in the eastern corner of Tarrant County, there is a spirit rising that was thought to be long dead, the Star Telegram article began. lt referred, of course, to the winning spirit shown by the varsity team in their defeat over L. D. Bell and Irving Nimitz in the first two games of preseason. The very next week, the team confronted the Trinity Trojans in a major test of strength. Though the results proved disappointing, the Buffs were ready to fight the Dallas Sunset Bisons. Haltom, expected to win, did not lose to the Bisons, but added an equally frustrating tie to the record. With two notable victories over Burleson and Sam Houston, district play started off in much the same way as did preseason. During the third district game, Arlington literally slid past Haltom in the last forty seconds to make a touchdown and alter the outcome of one of the Buffs' best efforts, according to head coach Jerry Sanders. lronically, the field was at its worst that night. The conflict took place on a field that was beneath the dignity of a game that impor- tant, Star Telegram writer Bob Lloyd said. After subsequent losses to Lamar and Bowie, the Buffs were disallusioned one last time in a 21 point loss to Richland. According to Sanders, the varsi- ty played the best games against Bell, Nimitz, and Arlington. They played hard and never gave up during these games, despite the loss against Arl- ington, Sanders said. District coaches honored several Haltom players by naming them to the all-district teams. Seniors Steve Singleton and Jay Mitchell were elected to the first team, while seniors Scott Mc- Crory, Alan Boyer, Waylon Hawkins, and David Thornburg were chosen for the second team. At the football banquet in January, the Hustlin' Buff award was presented to Hawkins and senior Shawn Maynor. Singleton received the best defensive player award and Boyer won the best of- fensive player award. The seniors put forth a great effort this year. They did all the things we fthe coachesl wanted them to do with no hesitation, Sanders remarked. Though the season ended in disappointment, the varsity did accomplish one of their goals. They wanted to improve the im- age of Haltom's football program, and they did just that. I thought this group of guys did a tremendous job in helping Haltom turn the corner. Everyone knew they would have to hustle to beat us. The key is to gain peo- ple's respect, Sanders reflected.

The team ac- complished the first JV district win in Haltom history. The overall quickness of the team made defense their strongest point. With the advan- tage of good field position, the defense frequently saved the game. Mike Balderrama, sophomore, commented, 'iWe had two advan- tages over our opponents, ability and desire. The coaches named several outstanding defensive players. Sophomores Mike Dusak, Kevin Bates, Mark Borbolla, Chris Cof- fey, Rusty Moore, Reese Jordan, and Randy Gray comprised this group. i 2 5 in Because of the players' lack of size, the offense proved to be their weakest point. Penalties and in- consistancy could have been the reason for the games they did lose, according to several players. Mercedes Flores, sophomore, said, The penalties in the games we lost were what hurt us most because they really added up, but our team had a lot of ability and a lot of heart. We were able to think quicker and move faster. Seven players were named outstanding on the offensive squad. They were sophomores Troy Roden, Trae Fowler, James Coffman, Greg Ybarra, Richard Courschesne, Chris Thompson, and Jimmy Jackson. Arlington Bowie presented the toughest competition in district play, but with the help of a punt return for a touchdown by Grant Alsup, sophomore, the Buffs managed to pull the game out with a final score of 14-7. Coach John Pafford com- mented, The defense held an up-to-then potent Bowie offense to just 7 points in the game. Bowie was our toughest competition as well as the team we played for district championship. Balderrama said, Coach Paf- ford always told us we made up for our small size because we had such big hearts. The Buffs finished preseason play with a 2-2 record, then cap- tured district play 6-O. Coach Pafford summed up the whole season by saying, ln spite of their small size, determination to win overcame all ad- versities. l WP , .1 ,sw fzi in Q, A .Tw if ,fw , ,. WM . K., is K NN.

Pre-season competition opened up against Grand Prairie and Plano. A record of 5-1 left the tenth in state ranked Berkner Rams the only loss for the Buffs. Taking the Rams through three games Coach Price explained, They were the toughest team we faced and they made us play our best. Growing in experience and ability with every game the wins district competitors with over Burleson and Richland. Even though, key losses to Bowie kept the team from becoming a top contender. Unity, trust, and dependabili- ty were the links which kept the team working together. With on- ly ten members making up the varsity, five being seniors, they each learned to read one another's reactions under pressure situations. The teammates got along so well. There was no interference within the players, Price commented. Post season honors presented a highlight toward individual ef- forts.

The press box played an important part in overseeing the total football field, With the advantage of an overhead view, coaches upstairs were able to cap- ture defensive and offensive op- portunities and relay them back to coaches on the field through wired headsets. Each sport had a unique style of communication. In baseball, the third base coach cued the hitter. In basketball, shouts from the bench signaled the shooter, and there were timeouts which allow' ed a sideline conference for more detailed instructions. The excitement of the sidelines at a track meet lasted from the shot of the gun firing off the start of a race to the breaking of the tape signifying an end to the race and of the day's events.

SIDELINES After 13 years of being jeered and ridiculed, after 29 hard fought district games, the Buffs triumphed over the Richland Rebels in the final district game in second half play, 61-54. Outstanding performances by John Wygleg 12 of 14 from the free throw line, and 3 of 4 from the field, and Jay Crane, 21 points - 10 of 14 free throws, 1 of 5 from the field, and 10 re- bounds, helped the Buffs to defeat Richland. This victory over the Rebs seemed to give the Buffs that ex- tra incentive to carry them through the play that followed. After a disappointing showing in first half district play, the Buffs looked like a different team during second half. Games that went into overtime became common, as did plays such as Jay Crane stealing the ball in overtime against Sam Houston and running full court and stuff- ing it to win the game.

I believe with a well Bill Wirskye we could have won the district championship. Wir- skye suffered from menningitis. Along with Wirskye, Russell Starr had a very good year. He averaged 16 points per game, shot 50 percent from the field, and 80 percent from the free throw line. A win in the Burleson game would have given the Buffs the second half outright. But the Elks hung on to win 46-42 caus- ing the Buffs to play two days in a row to determine the winner of second half play.

Team foo strong for obstacles In spite of inexperience, rebounding and persistence keys Even though the junior varsity team lost three sophomores and a major starter during the course of the season to the varsi- ty squad, it still managed to hold together. The team was made up completely of inexperienced players and those who didn't play much last year. Their record of 17 wins and 9 losses was more than all the jv wins together for the past two years. Considering the team was inexperienced and the roster changed almost every week, their record in district of 7-5 was impressive. I couldn't have been more happy with the JV program. I don't think I ever coached a team that improved as much as this one overall, Coach Joe Solley said. James Roe was moved to the varsity while Bill Wirskye was out with meningitis, but was moved back when Wirskye was fairly recovered. Bobby Boll- inger was moved up for the Lamar and Bowie games in second half play and played both varsity and junior varsity in the Burleson and Richland games. Roe along with Bollinger led the scoring for the Buffs in JV playg but not only could they score, they could also rebound. They were the leading re- bounders for the JV. Scoring though didn't stop with the post men. Kelley Bates, 5 feet 7 inches, coming from the bench in the Trinity game, hit 11 out of 13 and averaged 6.6 points per game. Junior, Allan Miller, 6 feet 3 inches, helped out with clutch free throws when they were needed. They had a lot of determina- tion to carry them through the tough games, stated Coach Solley. Roe led the scoring for the JV team with an average of 13.2 points per game, followed by Bollinger with 12, Miller with 8.3, and Bates with 6.6.l JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Kirk Battles, Keith Golden, ani Coach Patrey help varsity playe Carl Anderson off the field. Keepers herd jocks Lugging equipment, managers slaves Long bus trips home, whirlpools overflowing, the smell of sweat pouring off athletes and the pressure of coaches and athletes about the stats are just some in- cidences that happen to managers, trainers and scorekeepers. Off-season was sometimes harder than season play because there was more to be done in preparation for season play. Responsibility, the key factor in being a successful manager was just what the managers, all sports alike, possessed. Besides the coaching job, the next important figure to the players were the managers. They are always there when they are needed. They not only assist them, they also boost spirit too. It's exciting, and being a manager lets me be involved more. I get to know the people and coaches better. I learn responsibility and understand the game betterf' basketball manager Chally Boone added. SCOREKEEPERS It's a responsibility that you have to learn to take seriously with pride, and I like taking on that responsibility, Lisa Hewell, manager for both girls' volleyball and basketball, said. Involvement, spirit participa- tion, and the education of the game can also include the managers' responsibilities. Before I became a manager, all I knew was, you've got to get the ball in the hoop, Chally added. On the other hand, being a trainer required a lot more of one's time. One has to attend all practices, prepare some athletes before practice, and attend every game. During football season they usually stayed up here from 1:30 to 7-9:30. They also worked on Saturdays and some on Sundays. ... it is not a sport, just because we work with athletes, commented Keith Golden.

Inside, the aroma of iarred firewood and misty noke filled the air. Guests who 'ere stunned by the unexpected iilled weather huddled around ie huge crackling fire. As last iinute arrivals shuffled in, they 'ere immediately absorbed 'ithin the rustic western at- mosphere of the end of the zason basketball banquet. Back i January long before the girls ad a chance to sit back and ick up their heels, they were eep in contention for the istrict title. The inexperienced team with nly two senior starters pumped zeights and struggled through itense fundamental drills, zhich led up to their district pener against the Lamar Vik- ings. After knocking off the Vik- ings and seven other opponents, the girls lunge for a first place ti- tle came to an abrupt halt following their 52-37 loss to the Arlington Colts. The girls im- proved their previous year record of five wins and seven losses by closing out this season with an eight win and four loss record. The eight win record destined them to a second place tie with the Vikings. The secret in such a turn around for the girls may have been found in Coach Don Der- ryberry's determination to seek out the weaknesses of each op- ponent and adjust his plays ac- cordingly. Defensively the zone proved to be most effective. Of- fensively the baseline presented a good percentage shot of 80 percent with the inside games of Susan McMurtray, Kathy Ander- ! 4 tml! ,la ,,.,,,.,.,,,,,.... .... son, Joanna Hooker, and Debbie Barnes. Giving the girls an extra boost of incentive, the team began a grading system. Before every practice and after a game, the girls huddled up while Coach Derryberry called out their scores. The grading gave them an opportunity to visually see where they had improved with every game. Concentration was put mainly on change. The team and coach set out to make the girls' basket- ball program a competitive contender. Having never been a winner in girls' basketball, the feeling of being on top is hard to catch. The kids realized what they were capable of. They also saw how and what it will take next year to be a winner, Coach Derryberry explainedl . .

Humble coach accepts honor Don Derryberry, with a western drawl like someone out of a John Wayne movie, approached his second year as head girls' basketball coach. He led his team to a second place finish and was honored by his peers with the Coach of the Year Award. I tried to make my players the very best person and player they could be. All the glory relates back to the players. Without good players coaches receive no glory, he explained.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Barely enough ro plo y Post players kept scoreboard alive Under the clam mild manner exterior of the girls, JV basket- ball team lay the ever lurking Mighty Force of Seven, destined to withstand all odds in order to reach their distant goals. No, their goals were not to leap tall buildings in a single bound, nor to become more powerful than a locomotive. They were merely to end district competition with two strong wins. The Mighty Force of Seven was the nickname that the team picked up after the number of players dwindled to seven. Coach Aundrea Cambell capitalized on the teamls small size. I tried to stress unity and playing together. They learned to depend on one another, she explained.

However, with so few players she had no choice but to do just that. With such a small team I could not afford to bare down on them. I was very relaxed com- pared to my other years of coaching, Cambell said. Even though the girls picked up only two wins throughout the season, they were allowed the sweet taste of revenge. After ex- periencing a stifling loss of 16 points to the Burleson Elks, they held nothing back in a successful effort to defeat the Elks by 18 points. They were a small team whose background was not up to par, but all our fundamental work paid off by beating Burleson, Coach Cambell declaredl Making her move, junior Debl Blaney, 925, takes the baseli against an Arlington opponei Traci Kloberdanz moves in for 1 bound position.

Riehl sweeps regionals When America thinks of gymnastics, they think of Kurt Thomas, Bart Connors or Kathy Rigby, but when Haltom High students thought of gymnastics, the first person that came to mind was David Reihl. After taking second place in district all-around, he proceeded to take the first place medal at regionals all-around by winning six out of seven events. This in turn qualified him for state competition. Eager beavers ra learn Coach dubbed team because of enthusiasm As the gymnast approached the apparatus a look of extreme concentration traveled from his face to the tip of his toes. After the approach steps were ac- curately measured off, the gym- nast gave the judge a long in- tense look of anticipation. With a wave of the hand, the judge signaled the gymnast. Inhaling deeply he began the routine. Within seconds the ordeal had ended and a sigh of relief over- whelmed the gymnast and spectators. Becoming a member of the gymnastic team required some- one who enjoyed a challenge and was willing to spend time on his own learning new skills. Coach Roland Rangel had just that in his team. Jessie Ellison, David Dixson, David Reihl, Mike Munchrath, Rhett Garrett, Leonard Simpson, Joey Garrett, Mike Franstead, and Robert Brooks contained a tremendous desire to learn more and im- prove. The girls' gymnastic coach Susie Harrison found the GYMNASTICS needed dedication in her team made up of Patricia Yanowski, Cindy Pfiefer, Renee Hale, and Lyn Andrews. The season began in January with team practices lasting usually from 2:30 until 5:30. During this time the team worked on compulsory routines and new skills until the season came to a close in April. Intense concentration was the name of the game for the team, who concentrated heavily on im- proving with every meet. By the end of the season they had achieved exactly what they had set out to. They showed gradual im- provement that built up to the district and regional meets, Coach Rangel explained. The boys took a second place district finish only behind L. D. Bell. The girls team settled for a fifth place finish. My goal is to get gymnastics the recognition that other UIL sports are allowed, he statedl Just hanging around, senior Rl Garrett spends from 2:30 until I working out with the team perfecting his individual skills. ? ln the midst of state competition senior Jessie Ellison prepares for the dismount of his bars routine.

One close call, for instance, took place when senior Jessie Ellison was warming up on the high bar dur- ing the regional meet. He slipped off the bar and fell on his back and neck. Immediately after the accident he had trouble breathing but later regained his breath and luckily was not hurt seriously. For the first time Coach Roland Rangel and his team held an intramural gymnastic meet. This meet offered the peo- ple in his classes, who were not able to become members of the team because of work or having the time, the opportur to compete. Team memb- judged the routines.

A A Netters teed off Practice facilities top improvement list The long awaited tennis courts and junior high tennis programs are two main things coach Miss Audrey Mosely still awaits. During the flood last fall the tennis courts were severely damaged. This caused several cancellations and halted a lot of outdoor workouts that were desperately needed. Hopefully, one day we will also have a junior high program to give our kids a knowledge of the fundamentals of tennis. We are going to have to have such a pro- gram if we are ever to come up to the level of play our district demands, Miss Mosely commented. Seniors Julie Pickett and Joe Lineros were the team stand-outs. Julie placed second in the girls' division singles in two of six tour- naments this year. She was also voted most outstanding girls' ten- nis player by district coaches. Joe won second in the Tarrant County Junior College Tourna- ment and was fifth in boys' singles during district competition. TENNIS AND GOLF With the thrill of victory that so many athletic teams crave during competition, the golf team had to settle with the thrill of competi- tion. But despite all they con- tinued the season and entered several tournaments. They travel- ed to Plano, Denton, and Cheryl Park. The district meet was in Denton, and the team placed last.

According to Mr. Pipes there are several areas of im- provements that need to be con- sidered in order to have a suc- cessfully competitive team.

I Two seniors anchor Young team searches for leadership With a squad of 35, the boys track team was strong in number, but with only two seniors, the team had a disad- vantage. Since the strength of all athletic teams centers around the seniors, the boys' track team had to look at the juniors for ad- vancement.

The team placed fourth in district, the highest a girl's team here has ever placed. But the real improvement dealt with the four girls that qualified for regional competition, another record. Seniors Teresa Nabors and Joanne Richardson along with juniors Debra Richardson and Darla Taylor placed high enough in the district so they all could compete one more time in the regionals.

They were busy condition- ing and getting in shape for the season. Their trip to regional competition made all their preseason conditioning worth while. The volleyball team spent the month of August preparing themselves for the season ahead with two a day workouts, that lasted from 9 until 5:30. Prac- tices consisted of running, fun- damentals, and scrimmaging. Though the basketball season opened in the winter, players could be spotted in the gym dur- ing any season. The boys, workouts were from 5 until 7. While the JV worked out from 8 until 9 in the morning. The JV starters practice with the varsity in the afternoons. The girls' season.began in November with two to three hours of practice consisting of scrimmaging, offensive and defensive drills. The gymnastic team spent three hours daily working on routines, conditioning, dips, pullups, hand stands, and running. 'il liked working out after school.

However, the Buffs, bats never did get aggressive as they finished the season with a 3-8 district record. The Buffs did finish the first half of district play with a 3-3 record in spite of losing both starting pitchers. Junior Steve Thomas was hampered with a knee injury and didn't play any the second half, and senior Jay Mitchell broke his ankle during practice and was out most of the season.

The games went to Eastern Hills 8-4, and to Trinity 8-5. They did beat Bell 6-1 only to lose the next game to Arl- ington Heights 6-0. However, things did change in the next game as the Buffs managed to defeat Trinity 2-0 due to a solo homerun by Shawn Maynor that turned out to be the decisive run. Their first district game against Sam Houston was disap- pointingg they were beat 6-O. Soon after the last out of the oppos- ing team, Coach John King discusses batting strategy with junior Kevin Reeves, who is on his way to the dugout. Sam Houston's pitcher had good control and just seemed to stifle our batters, Coach John King stated. Their first half record ended 3-3. Second half play proved to be a replay of first half play with the first district game being lost to Arlington, 11-1. The team couldn't seem to get rolling the rest of the season and finished with a 2-5 record. Coach King said, Overall they have performed well ex- cept for mental errors by players with their minds on other matters. l BASEBALL lndividuality expressed through words, dress VVHh over 1200 enroHed, Mudents ohen gotlostin the crowd and felt the need to break away from the others and to express their own individuality in the way they talked, acted, and appeared to others.

Each student expressed aspects of his own personality with the clothes he wore, from black concert t-shirts to Izod cotton knits, the verbal expressions he used, from undoubtedly so, to yeah, man, and the vehicle he drove, from battered Volkswagon to '82 Camaro. Without the students, the school building would serve no purpose whatsoever. In order to assure that Haltom would have more students in the future, a number of improvements were made to encourage enrollment.

LXLA . ..sw..........,- Mr. Hays' roots Assistants take on class discipline, The main office went through many changes. A new principal was added and the assistant principals shuffled. Mr, Tommy Hays, former Haltom Junior High principal, was named the new principal during the summer, taking the place of Mr. Leon G. Hagmann who was promoted to purchasing director at the administration building. One of Mr. Hays' first objectives was to elevate the school spirit. To do this he stressed a program of school unity, all for one and one for all. As the year came to a close, Mr. Hays said that school unity had partially succeeded I think the spirit was much higher than it has been. Other schools now know that Haltom High School will be competitive in all areas, Mr. Hays said. Mr. Hays, described his philosophy on school, I only require students to do three things - come to school, study a little, and Mrs. JoAnn Kelley, assistant principal in charge of seniors, makes tea for Public Schools Week breakfast. Sophomore assistant principal Mr. Jay Thomp- son sits in his office in between discipline sessions. in Haltom City sponsorship behave themselves. With Haltom roots Mr. Hays was born in his parents house in Haltom City, and graduated in 1953, from what was then called Birdville High School. I love this school, I love the kids that go here. My parents graduated from this school, I graduated from this school and so did my children, Mr. Hays said. At gradua- tion he reminded seniors that he shared a common bond with them. Next year I plan to continue working on the building and making this school better and better, Mr. Hays said. According to Mr. Hays, the senior class, noting that they were a great class, had a big part in all of the improvements made on the school's image. lf we can do things for the kids that they can take pride in like the carpet and the fur- niture, the will have more pride in their school, Mr. Hays said.I FACULTY Mrs. Ann Gondek fills out an OCS request for assignments to be collected by an aide.

Support crews shuffle paper Phone, deposits, early dismissals, typing, keep aides humming Three groups sit quietly and work with the students and teachers and never get much recognition. Each has their own responsibilities whether it be typing for the teachers or helping students with schedule problems. First, there are the counselors, only three in number. Senior counselor Mrs. Libby Conant has the task of seeing that seniors have enough credits to graduate. She also ranks the class in order from highest to lowest. Helping students to help themselves and to set goals are what Mr. White enjoys most about his job. The biggest problem faced by juniors is the realization that in one more year they will be out of school, and they will be making a serious decision on what course their life will follow. If they have set goals, their life will probably be more orderly than a person who lives only for the present, Mr. White said. However for the sophomores the hardest ad- justment was getting use to the open campus privileges. Open campus, the freedom of leaving cam- pus, took the sophomores a while to get use to, Mr. Jim Farmer, sophomore counselor, said. The second group of support workers are the secretaries. School secretary Mrs. Polly Moffatt's first obligation is to Principal Tommy Hays, but she is also the official bookkeeper for the school. The daily average of money brought through on business transactions is about S1,500, but some days it will be S15,000, Mrs. Moffatt said. Mrs. Jo Wright, secretary to the assistant principals, handles early dismissals, and makes the payroll list to be given to Mrs. Moffatt. I do the tardies when the vice-principals are not available, cut slips, and typing for graduation, UIL reports for the coaches, and for the vice-principals, Mrs. Wright said. On the days the nurse is not at the school, Mrs. Wright also acts as school nurse. The final group is the clerks. Mrs. Ann Gondek manages the main office. She runs the school bookstore, the switchboard, mail, receives purchase orders, types for the teachers, and helps the assistant principals. Helping the counselors with typing and filing is Mrs. Dorothy Yanowski. I send transcripts to schools for students and also work with schedules, Mrs. Yanowski said. Typing the absentee sheet can really be a pain on such days as Senior Skip Day, Mrs. Akers said. Along with the absentee sheets Mrs. Akers also typed field trip lists for each dayl COUNSELORS Junior Varsity Volleyball coach Aundrea Camp- bell often sings and plays the piano for her church.

Stained glass, digging hobbie Math teacher shelves books during academic year, grades papers instea Always wanted a window but couldn't afford it, so I took classes instead. It would have been cheaper to have bought a window, commented Mrs. Ila Osborne on her hobby of making stained glass. Hobbies can help to relieve the pressures of the day or just be something faculty members en- joy doing, according to Mrs. Aline Payne. I find it relaxing and it serves as a change of pace, assistant principal Thomas Watkins said. Mr. Watkins spends two to three hours reading whenever possible, and also likes to garden. I like to read, and digging in the earth is good therapy, it's a feeling of accomplishment and pro- vides one an opportunity to work physically, Mr. Watkins said. Some hobbies are even carried over from the early years of life. Charles Connelly, Industrial Cooperative Education sponsor, has been collecting 45 rpm records since he was in sixth grade. Mr. Connelly also collects baseball, basketball, and football cards. It's a collection given to me when I was very young, Mr. Connelly said about his cards. However, some teachers, hobbies involve talent. Volleyball coach Aundrea Cambell enjoys playing the guitar and piano. I play and sing often at church. I play the piano in my spare time,l' Mrs. Cambell said. Approximately one day a week Mrs. LaDean Houck forgets her teaching responsibilities and pulls out her paints and brushes. It's a great tension reliever for stress plus the personal satisfaction I receive, Mrs. Houck said. How expensive can a hobby be? I spent S400 a year on my stamp collection, and that's a minimum, Roland Kuhleman, drafting teacher, said. Some hobbies don't take all that much time or money. For Distributive Education s sor William Chaffin sitting in his back yard watching the birds feed is a hobby. I put out feed for the birds in the late a noons and watch them feed, Mr. Chaffin saiil Although Mrs. Payne loves to read, she force herself to put away the books during school months. I am a compulsive reader, I don't stop. I the books away from September to May becp I get so involved in reading, Mrs. Payne said Serving as a part-time nurse is Mrs. L' Porter. The love of helping people is her reason for devoting time to nursing, accordi Mrs. Porter. Teachers along with students find that havi hobby can help with stress, be fun, and pro personal satisfaction.- HOBBIES fb M. . it i if . W .. 1 A iiii ,,,,,:: ss rrrg 5 0 QQ.

Whiz Quiz is intellectually stimulating for the Jnsors as well as the students, while French .lb is a lot of fun and promotes students' in- est in the language, Mrs. Fisher said. For the past four years Mr. Ron Rank has sponsored Woods and Waters, the largest club on campus. Woods and Waters took field trips to rifle ranges and on mountain climbing expeditions. According to Mrs. Jan Edwards, Student Coun- cil is a pleasure to sponsor because of the neat kids who make up its membership. The Gong Show was the funniest project we did this year, she added. However sponsoring a club or organization was part of some teachers, jobs, especially those who taught vocational classes.

They sold for 15 cents for a regular and 25 cents for a large, the hot chocolate chip cookie was by far the best seller of the cookies, according to Mrs. Mitchell. We sell about 350 hot cookies each day, most in the morning hours, Mrs. Mitchell said. Each year the cafeteria tries something new. The new addition to the menu was chicken nuggets and a full breakfast in the morning. ' The chicken nuggets went over really well, and the country breakfast also did good. I hope to have them both back next year, cafeteria manager Mrs. Treva Davis said. Business in the cafeteria was down over the past years, according to Mrs. Davis. To create more interest in the cafeteria the Youth Advisory Committee started the Buffalo Roundup in May. The round-up gave students incentives to eat in the cafeteria. Prizes, cookies, and cakes were given away. The new carpet and glass doors were nice to look at but hard to clean, according to the maids. I clean the glass once a day, which really is a waste of time because two minutes later it is just as dirty as it was in the first place, Mrs. Jane Bryant said. The maids are also responsible for stock- ing the bathrooms, cleaning the main office and cleaning tops of the lockers. We use Ajax and a lot of hand work to get the marks off of the lockers, Mrs. Byrant, who is retiring, said. I just hate to clean off the faucet when someone has spit tobacco in the fountain, commented Mrs. Bryant about her most dreaded cleaning job. To help the janitors keep the carpet clean industrial vacuum cleaners were bought. Coke spills, chewing tobacco and gum are the hardest things to get out of the carpet, Red Luttrell said. It takes us about seven hours after school is out to sweep, mop, dust, and burn trash, Lou Dominquez said.l STAFF j I ,L I Clapping hands with music, sophomores Scott Smith, Jimmy Jackson, and Rhonda Forrest join the fun in the Air Force band concert.

Must have been some good parties, right? At the very least, aren't sophomores perfect for menial chores? Who always gets stuck with the things that the seniors and juniors are too smart to do?

When the tardy bell rang two minutes early, an algebra assignment disappeared, and the history teacher chewed out everyone in the class - all before lunch? After a day like that, several students liked to work with a hobby that took their minds off matters for a while. When I get mad, I play video games. I play when I'm not mad, because it's a hob- by, but I get better scores when I'm mad, sophomore Bill Erwin revealed. Bret Bertholf, sophomore, reported how he kept 'sane - and drove others batty. I play a synthesizer because it helps me relax and I can make weird sounds that bug the dog and my mom. Besides, it's a lot of fun! Fortunately for his mother and canine pet, Bret had a quieter hobby that he enjoys. I draw a lot too. Lately I've become in- terested in Salvador Dali and H. R. Giger, surrealist artists. Some people enjoyed curling up in a com- fortable chair to read the adventures of their favorite literary heroes. After school, and even during, I like to reach Christian romances or the Bible. If I'm upset, I listen to music while I read, said Mary Lilly, sophomore, with a book in her hand as evidence of her favorite pastime. I like to read stories to escape from reali- ty, explained sophomore Carl Walker. You can crawl into a character and not come out until the end of the book. The whole world passes by youf' Rather than just read about people and adventures from far away, some people preferred role-playing games in their spare time. Sophomore Danny Stanfield, who plays Traveller, said, It's a real blast even if you don't know what you're doing! Lots of people played musical instruments such as the piano or guitar to relieve tension. However Ambre Graff, sophomore, chose a different instrument. At church, and in my spare time, I play the electric flute. It's just like a regular flute, except it has an electrical pick-up that you hook up to an amplifier and then a phase shifter to make it sound really neat. I enjoy it a lot, it helps me relax. Sophomore Kim Palms, who crocheted and hooked rugs, commented, I like to do it cause it's fun. I SOPHOMORES 1--, Bussey-Cole f I4 AWK, ! 5 , 6 if Tina Bussey i , wif Cheryl Byrd ff QT?

Movies are part of American way of life 'ms manage to awaken the dreams of heroism, adventures and excitement that everyone has The time was the late 1930's. The place s a jungle deep in the heart of South ierica. The hero was - guess! Our hero I just battled against nightmares such as antulas, poisonous darts, a spiked trap Jr, bottomless pit, and a traitorous servant :laim the precious golden idol, only to have aken away by the evil Nazi archaeologist, lloqs. With the natives, under Belloqs' con- l, coming in for the kill, our hero attempts a 'ing run for freedom. Spears whizzing past hes of their mark, the hero ran and stumbl- until he came upon a lagoon where a iplane calmly rested, waiting for his pearance. 'Jockl Jock! Get it up! screamed our hero. e roar of engines mingled with the rising :lody of the theme. Leaping into the water, he swam the short tance and pulled himself to safety even as c plane lifted. He settled into his seat with a h of relief, only to jump in terror. !'There's a big snake in the plane, Jock! The pilot casually replied loud enough to be ard over the noise of the motors, Oh, that's t my pet snake, Reggief, I hate snakes, Jock! I hate 'emf' !'Come on! Show a little backbone, will l777 What would life have been like without In- diana Jones, Luke Skywalker, and their cellophane counterparts? The movies have been as much a part of the American way as apple pie. Kids usually went to the movies on the date. Of course, the movie wasn't the sole focus of the audience. Sometimes it was more fun watching different people in the seats than the movie itself. This guy and girl were sitting next to us, recited sophomore Missy Malone. The guy did something and the girl slapped him. Everyone was staring and laughing at them. One student, who preferred to remain anonymous, related a similar experience from a different perspective. HMy date and I were sitting in a theater when this little kid behind us called out in a real loud voice, 'Look Mommy! They're kiss- ing!I Everyone stopped and stared at us. I was so embarrassed that I moved down a seat real quick. Boy, was I embarrassed! Some people disliked it when others cut-up. During 'One on One', Robby Benson was kissing on that girl. Then this guy in the au- dience goes, 'Tell her you love her - it works every time'. That made me mad,', revealed Ginger Franklin, junior. However, not everyone could refrain from saying something witty. We were watching a preview of 'Meteor', explained sophomore Dolly Weaver, And it was showing a shot of the earth as if we were on the meteor heading straight for Earth. I screamed, 'Oh no! We're gonna crashl' Everybody in the theater started laughingfi A few people were the unexpected cause of disturbances. We were watching a scary movief' acknowledged junior Andrea Renfro. There were two girls next to the empty seat in front of me. I have this habit of swinging my foot when l'm nervous and during one of the more frightening scenes. I accidentally kicked the seat in front of me. You should have heard those girls scream! Sophomore Jimmy Speer was minding his own business when he went to the movies. 'LI went to a scary movie and sat down next to a girl I didn't know, he said. Then, during the scary part, she jumped, screamed, and spilled her coke all over me. What would life have been without the movies? Would the force have been with us - ever'?I SOPI-IOMORES 20 Gilliam-Hahn A too familiar person to frequently assistant principal Joanne Kelley charge of delinquent seniors.

O6 SOPHOMORES Hale-lronmonger uving completed his psychology assignments, ic Barnett, junior, flips through a magazine to lrile away the collected hours. Tardy excuses are a fine art The connoisseurs of this art are adept at sparring with teachers Tardy slips were always a pain. Whoever needed them? If someone received too many, that person wouldn't be eligible for test exemp- tions. People know that was a bummer, so they began inventing excuses to get them off the hook. Excuses became a game for some peo- ple - for others they were a way of life. In any case, excuses developed into a fine art. Those new to the game usually stuck with the practical excuses. I had a flat tire was definitely the most popular. Students also used, I couldn't get my locker open, I got the wrong book so I had to go back, I was with the band, The alarm didn't go off, My ride was late, and It was my sister's fault. Then there was the old, I had to talk with a teacher ploy. It was easy to explain how the other teacher must have forgotten to write a pass or didn't have the time. If a person was talented enough, he could get away with murder if he threw in an act along with his excuse. My boyfriend and I just broke up was very effective if one happened to be a girl with large, innocent eyes that threatened to spill a heavy burden of tears. A pale face, wobbly knees, and shallow breathing were necessary to pull off I was just sick in the bathroom. A large number of kids learned that, in most cases, a grunted monosyllable was sufficient. The key words were traffic and overslept. On the other hand, some kept talking, when being interrogated, in the hope that the teacher would tire of them and let them go. I was on the way to school, you see, when all of a sudden it dawned on me that I had left my housekey on the little table next to the couch. Now, my mom was fixing to leave so I had to hurry back, otherwise, I would have been locked outside until midnight. You wouldn't want that to happen, now would you? beseeched a sophomore. A small percentage, blessed with creativity, managed to come up with some originals. My mother gave me a note, but my dog ate it, explained a sophomore. A junior who was late to school, on account of her brother, revealed, He told me to say that on the way to school we were attacked by a band of wild Indians. Another sophomore came up with an im- aginative, but plausible, excuse when she said, I had an allergy attack. Of all the excuses students have used, the single most exasperating one to tell a teacher was short and sweet. I forgot. l to .

When they entered Haltom for the first time, several doubted they would ever feel at ease. Walking down large corridors filled with so many strangers was enough to make most wonder if they would survive the first day. Looking for a friend, one sophomore caught sight of . . . could it really be? Yes, it was! A Journey t-shirt. At least someone in this place has good taste, he thought. Keeping an eye out for other familiar shirts, he found too many to count. There were Van Helen, Rolling Stones, Yamaha and Nike t-shirts as well as a few with college names on them. Realizing that the people wearing these shirts must not be too different from himself, the newcomer breathed a lot easier. After all, how bad could a person wearing a Pepsi shirt be anyway? Some t-shirts simply advertised merchan- dise, such as Adidas sportswear, while others seemed to be a sort of status symbol. Rock concert t-shirts, by far the most popular, let everyone know who went to each concert. fOr, whose older brother or sister went, then was conned out of his or her shirt.J I wear them because l want people to know which groups l like. Besides, they're the only kind live got, sophomore Perry Moore explained. Sophomore Donnie Lee simply stated, I want people to know that I'm a 'rocker'. Several students announced to anyone who cared which college they planned to go to. Future Aggies could be spotted by their Texas A8:M shirts. A few brave and perhaps foolish souls even wore Oklahoma University shirts around people wearing University of Texas shirts, or visa versa. Other t-shirts expressed an opinion or feel- ing of the wearer. Sophomore Stacy Fargo donned his shirt proclaiming I donit take defeat lightly, I wear it because itis true, Stacy said. Sophomore Julie De Luis wore a shirt with the request Be patient! God isn't finished with me yet, because she liked the saying. Sophomore Mark Borge summed up the reason he thought people wore various t-shirts. They show a person's character, stated Mark as he leaned back, tapped on his own tee, and grinned. His said, Athlete in train- ing. l f., .W nv. K.

Several birds chirped peacefully in the treetops while a rabbit scampered across a field. Suddenly the quiet was shattered by an increasing whine of engines. A high pitched roar of power broadcasted the arrival of two motor- cycles. Having leaped a small hill, each flew through the air with the rider nearly stan- ding. The bikes hit the ground roughly and caused a cloud of dust to engulf them and their surroundings. With balance regained, they roared down the trail. Except for rustl- ing wings of the startled birds, all became silent again. That could have been a scene from a motocross race at Mosier Valley, Burleson, Lake Whitney, or perhaps just good friends having fun on the trails in their area. Motor- cross could be considered the roughest com- petitive sport in the world and second only to soccer in physical demands.

If you want to be good, Sophomore Mark Borge emphasized, and I mean one of the best, it takes a whole lot of thinking and concentration. You lose that and you wreck, it's as simple as that. Precision, balance, and quick evaluation are needed to keep from having a spill. Every detail in the trail must receive the riderls full attention. A slight miscalculation can cause an accident. It does not take much to crash when going seventy miles per hour. For junior Cecilia Couch it did not take much to crash when going only twenty miles per hour. I was coming home one day and I decid- ed I didnit want to go over the curb like I usually do because I always hit it so hard, Cecilia said, blushing slightly.

Actually there were only a few things worse than being a juniorg being a sophomore was one of them. All juniors were glad that they were not sophomores. Although most people seem to think that sophomores had problems, it was these people that needed to take a close look at being a junior. The worst time to be a junior was at graduation time. Generally at the end of the school year, juniors became manic depressives. Some of them even did such things as going to a senior's party and getting totally blitzed, which was not good for their health. It might be mentioned that most juniors wanted very much to be seniors. The ones that didn't were considered basket-cases.

Classics of literature date back to the time of e Greeks with the epic poems of the Odyssey :l The Iliad. A person may claim that they : too difficult to read, but like in first grade, basic reading did not divinely come and thrust itself into the mind of a six year old, a person must build himself up to the ability to enjoy these and other stories. According to numerous sources, there were massive amounts of illiteracy in high schools. While students should be on the respective level of tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grades, many instead read on a sixth grade level. It wasn't because teachers didn't do their job in many cases, but because the students did not want to learn. There may be grumble of disagreement, but it is true. How many times had a student sat in their English class and slept while others read? It was not such an un- common sight. Another cop-out was watching t.v. when a book needed to be read. To enjoy a book may sound strange, but the ability to escape into the depths of outer- space, or to live in the 16th century England usually couldn't be surpassed even by television. Hlt is a lot of fun to go and see Dudley Moore fall down a flight of stairsg or to see Har- rison Ford by drug behind the back of a truck, but the truly fun thing for the same three dollars is to be able to read these stories for hours on end. There is of course, the problem of taking your date to a good book, Veronica Kennedy, junior, said. To enjoy a book may be something bizarre and out of the Twilight Zone, but literature was one of the oldest forms of entertainment. Even today, it is the main form of communication ex- cept for speech. Believe it or not, to have the ability to read can open those doors in a per- son's life that will not only improve grades, but one's life and the respect others give to them. The only thing that is needed to be done is dust off the cover of that book that has been sitting on the shelf for three years, and open it up, Cecilia Couch, junior, said.

JUNIORS Evanitsky-Golden Parties keep people together Stick-pins, laundry detergent, knives hazardous to wasted Everyone likes to party especially me, Bill Strong, junior, said. To party meant to have a good time, no matter how many people were around or where they were. I like to go to a party, just to watch the other people make fools out of themselves, Veronica Kennedy, junior, said. Parties are the only thing going right now, Keith Patterson, junior, said. There was no lack of parties. Casino Beach and Marshall Creek were well known to fre- quent partiers, not to mention private parties. According to Bill, Haltom is noted for all the great partiers that go here. Students could tell any number of incidents, some funny, most otherwise. One junior partied for a whole weekend while his parents were gone. Friends helped clean the house, but missed one filled glass sit- ting in the cabinet with the clean ones. He's about the only person I know who was really and truly grounded for a whole month, Veronica said. A stick pin was used at one party to pierce a guy's ear. At another party, laundry detergent put lby uninvited guestsl in a bottle the host was drinking out of made two people sick. I didn't drink any so I thought it was fun- ny, said a senior party-goer. Parties are what keep people our age together, Miller Glanton, senior, said. Rain tried to stop a party at Casino Beach but failed. We all got under a picnic shelter and lit candles to see by, said a senior, it was a bor- ing party 'cause there weren't many people there. What's funny is when you get home just as your dad is leaving for work at 5:30 in the mor- ning. I got bruises from jumping in the win- dow, said one senior. Although fun, parties sometimes got too rowdy. Trinity, a live band, played at a ten keg par- ty at Alta Vista. It was a good party but turned into a disaster when a guy got stabbed 15 times. A Marshall Creek party ended with peo- ple getting run over and gutted, like fish, said a senior. On the way home some students were being chased by a white truck that was trying to run them off the road. It did a flip off the road, said a senior, Anyway, that's what I heard. I Only pride was injured at the journalism banquet as Kim Allen, senior, presents Joanna Hooker, junior, with the Cleverest Copywriter Award, despite the fact that other people wrote most of her copy.

They let you ex- ss yourself more and we have a very ex- ssive group, Susan said. The drama department is a collection of ries, slight eccentrics who like to have fun, onica Kennedy, junior, said. This is not a by, this is our life. Most of us have been in ma so long we don't want to do anything :,'l she said, It,s habit forming. Roth Tony and Jill have been active in drama ze their eighth grade speech classes. In the h grade, Veronica was in a musical spoof of low White called Mirror, Mirror. She took ng lessons at Casa Manana until she was a 1 school freshman. : was the sixth year in drama for junior tt Crowe. I like to perform in front of people, make them laugh, Scott said. If you have a chance to do something, do it, anything that involves people to get rid of the fear of people. ' Drama involves more than just acting. In his role of Marryin' Sam, Scott learned to read music. Now I'm not as worried about singing in front of people. I was interested in drama and acting, Joan Martensen, junior, said. She didn't get involved in drama until her sophomore year. It develops a sense of being at home in front of people and the ability to express yourself. I plan to go into either law or politics and dramatic skills are a main requirement for either one. A multi-talented person, Joan combined two of her interests when she made about 20 costumes for the musical Guys and Dolls. With help from junior Diania McGill, she designed and put together the 17th century costumes for the last year's contest play Tartuffe. Because it's fun. The people make it fun, Susan said, I especially like little girlls parts like Ihad in 'Li'l Abner.' I couldn't believe it, Ladonna Baker, junior, said when she got the leading female role in 'iTom Jones. Hlt made all my years in drama worthwhile, she said. l'll never forgetf' said Veronica, the fun- niest thing that ever happened was in 'West of the Pecos.' Kevin tried to skip from act one to act three. The mere memory sent the entire group into peals of laughter and several people slipped into year-old characters to reenact the scene. Where I come from, when two people get married, we have a horse race,'l Mr. Fogg, alias Scott, kept a straight face as tried to save the show. 'iWhere'd he come from, was an undertone from Zeralda who looked surprisingly like Veronica. Finally, realizing what he had done, Kevin Daniel, senior, remembered the right line and ended act one instead of the entire show. Sometimes, things are only funny in retrospect. At the UIL contest, Tony made the close aquaintance of a prop that was leaning behind a curtain. I thought it was part of the curtain, he said after he ran into it the first time. The next time he got dragged into it. Two peo- ple were carrying him and each one went on a dif- ferent side ofthe prop. They were supposed to drag me off because I was too scared to run, Tony said. Finally, after hitting the prop with his shoulder, and then his head, he made it nearly to the end of the play before he backed into it. Three times, he raged, I hit that stupid thing three times. If Tony had bad luck with A Midsummer Night's Dream, Kevin didn't do much better with Tom Jones. During one of the first scenes, Kevin ran off stage into the dark backstage where he ran into a table and did a double flip. Later, in a fight scene with Tony, a seam ripped out of his pants. One day during rehearsal for Tom Jones, Tony used his own brand of humor to liven things up. We were just goofing around, Paul Cun- ningham, junior, said, Tony got that old manne- quin and strapped it to his back before he went on stage. He wore it while he was saying his lines. l L JUNIORS Jones-Kilpatrick Pets favored over animal stars Cocoa, Sir Robert, Boy as special as Cass Ole, Benji Books are written about them. Films, car- toons and commercials feature them. They are put on calendars, posters, t-shirts and made in- to dolls. What's 'them?' Why, animals, of course, pets to be more specific. The recent movie The Black Stallion featured Cass Ole, a purebred Arabian Stallion, as a very special pet. Other famous pets are the dog Benji and Morris the Cat. Pets, however, needn't be nationally known to be special. Pets like Benji are loved by all, but I think my bulldogs, Lady and Sir Robert, are just as special as any other pet, Chris Douglas, junior, said. Following an old habit, Boy contemplates drink- ing out of an unusual watering bowl as Andrea Renfro, junior, fills the sink with water. Photography student Tim Dykes, sophomn took pictures of his pet for a grade perspective. Not all pets, however, are dogs. Shellie Johnson, junior, had a pony, Cocoa. He drinks coke out of the bottle, she said. Even more unusual than a pony is a python. Randy Sprinkle, sophomore, had just such a pet. Occasionally, he took it for a 'slither,' but eventually, it was run over by a lawn mower. The strangest pet of all belonged to sophomore Rob Allen. He owned a black and white rat named Cheap, formerly the com- panion of a gray rat named Trick. I woke up to go to school and Trick was laying there on his side freaking out. When l got home, he was a goner. Cheap survived the episode and lived for years though.l Six month old registered paint pony, named Wendy's Manolito, affectionately known as Horse partially halter broke and acts docile as he lets Steven Cooke, junior, lead him around the ya Although a hefty 300 pounds, Horse likes to wrestle with people like a big dog.

To survive might take someone with ecial talents, someone like a warrior or a ef, maybe an elf or a wizard! Sound fun? t even these can't always survive. l'It's all in the roll of the dicef' according Kevin Daniel, senior. Whatll? Well, just listen a minute. is isn't a story about some strange cult, a game, a role-playing game called ngeons 8: Dragons. But, getting back to the dice, they are roll- to determine strength, wisdom, in- ligence, dexterity, constitution, and arisma. Characters should be based on 2 strongest points. lf someone rolled a weak character with h intelligence, they may choose to be a :ard or a thief rather than a warriorf' y Brown, junior, said. The game can be as simple or as com- cated as the Dungeon Master wishes. The DM is the one who calls the shots, and he's out to kill everyone. Technically the players are on a quest to find treasure, but accor- ding to Sandy Eastwood, senior, it's a strug- gle just to survive. There is such a thing as a DM guide, a rule book that the DM can follow, if they wish. The DM is like God, Kevin said. i'He tells you what is going on and you have to decide what to do. Then he tells you if you were successfulf' The game is played on a board, but there are many to choose from. Each board is like a city, and it usually has about a hundred chambers. Only the DM knows the contents of these chambers. He knows whether there is a monster, a treasure or nothing at all. But even treasure can be a foe. Gold and jewels have been known to do strange things - like explode! Players usually begin at the keep, a place where weapons and supplies, among other things, can be bought in preparation for the journey. As treasure is uncovered in the course of the game, many things can be bought. lf the players are hungry land richl they can buy food. A warrior might buy new weapons to replace broken ones or a wizard may want to 'learni more spells. Nearly an entire book is devoted to spells. It tells the name of the spell, what the spell is good for and what level of magic-user can use it. Regular players are awarded more experience points and achieve a higher level. There is a type of moral aspect of the game. Each character must choose to be lawful or chaotic and good or evil. After they make a choice, the character must act accordingly. A good lawful character wouldn't be allowed to do anything evilf' Tony said. A chaotic character is one that things just happen to. Whether it be good or evil, they can't control it, Nancy Cariker, sophomore, said. Onward to battle, riches, honor and glory, and forget the mundane existence of school and home as simple survival demands total concentration.

Backpacking vs. trailers Oceanography, Woods and Waters' students camp and fish As the sun rose over the hill, the beams touched the sleeping campers. Birds chirped a welcome and something rustled in the trees. A breeze stirred and off in the distance a brook babbled along through the trees. Whether supplies were packed in with a caravan or carried in a backpack, it's called camping. Some campers roughed it in the wilds with a sleeping bag and canteen, while others preferred a travel trailer with elec- trical hookups and waterbeds. Students sometimes went camping with church groups. We sometimes go to a cabin or Lake Whitney. It's near a mountain, which we climb for our morning quiet time with God, Ronda Smith, junior, said. Some students enjoyed camping with their family or relatives. I go camping sometimes with my aunt, Debra Steele, junior, said. The Woods and Waters Club went on a two night campouts at Sid Richardson Scout Ranch. They stayed in tents and cooked over open fires. lt was cold, Darryl Tucker, junior, said. On the oceanography fishing trip, some of the girls took an unexpected swim. They grabbed us by the arms and legs and threw us in the lake, Susan Stringfellow, junior, said. The volleyball team planned a two day canoe trip down the Brazos River the first of June. Most students enjoyed camping, but it was something for other people, not themselves. T I haven't been camping much. lt's a lot of fun, commented Shellie Johnson, junior, because you can go on nature hikes and go fishing and see animals you don't normally see.

What flies through the air with the greatest of ease? lt's not a bird, not a plane, not even a transfigured Clark Kent, but a small plastic disc called a frisbee. Frisbees come in one basic shape but a multitude of sizes and colors. 'Tve seen frisbees with a hole in the mid- dle, Cindy Walters, junior, said, They are the easiest ones to throw. I like the ones with pictures or sayingsf' Jessie Braddock, junior, said, I've got one that says, 'sailors do it better'. No beach party is complete without a frisbee or two. It's best to go at night with a glow-in-the- dark frisbee, or one with lights on it, said Jessie. Lighted frisbees are fairly recent inven- tions, but the idea has been around for a long time. The foundations were laid even before man came along. According to a possibly reliable source, cavemen, when clearing a field, took the petrified dinosaur dung and threw it out of the way. This was revived by the Greeks, who used stale rhinosaur's poopie. But Greeks were classy people and so invented the discus, which evolved into something lighter and easier to throw, known today as the frisbee. Incidentally, the frisbee suffered a slight set-back with the savages of the western plains, cowboys. They developed a game in which the object was to see who could sail a cow pattie through the air for the longest distance. There has been speculation as to whether there could be some connection with the fact that McDonald's used to give small frisbees to any child that would hang around long enoughl Relaxing after hours of Saturday school, Mark Wood, junior, enjoys matching wits with gravity and wind as his frisbee sails through the air.

'Fifty years of excellence' Students face reality, memories fade into dream Haltom High, the solid structured building, remained standing strong after fires, floods, students, and construction crews have mutilated, saved and changed the inner walls for over half a century. Fifty years of excellence. Fifty accredited classes ran in and walked out its doors with memories, hopes, and dreams. Synthetic dreams fill their plastic minds. They run chasing a neon rainbow to find there is no pot of gold, 1969 Buffalo. The dreams may or may not have been synthetic, still the students were faced with reality, as high school memories faded into a dream. Yet the building still stands. It, like the many students, started out as a mere bud and now flourishes as an eternal rose. Some petals have been peeled away and others have grown in their places over the years. Time . . . passes ever so swiftly and the days of our youth are soon forgotten if we do not pause to gather some souvenirs, 1971 Buffalo. Isn't the building itself a souvenir? When our school is mentioned, do we not picture it in our minds? The fiftieth class witnessed so many changes and happenings. To Haltom, survival meant restoration, recovering a disfigured and maimed buffalo head, 1981 Buffalo. The buffalo head was finally restored to its natural state and presented at the Homecoming pep rally by the Art Club. The buffalo head was once the subject of many pranks. Some thought it funny with cigarettes hanging out its mouth while others thought it hilarious with smoke coming out of its nose after an acid had been poured in. The final beating came when it was shaved by some Richland students during Haltom- Richland Week. A once treasured trophy hidden away because of a silly rivalry. Hid- den as if dead, yet it survived. A saga of survival . . . Not just the com- pletion of a hardfought battle . . . but a con- tinued movement into the future, 1981 Buffalo. With plans and changes in mind, Mr. Tom- my Hays burst in as the new principal. The foyer was enlarged and new furniture was added to replace the simple benches. Orange carpet was laid throughout the of- fices and main hall as well as the foyer. Mr. Hays planned to make the school look nicer as well as build school spirit. The coaches were all pleased with the spirit building plan, and Coach Don Der- ryberry told a tale that will never be forgot- ten. Its name was KIMO. The great white buffalo. Kimo was chanted at all times. Kimo but- tons, stuffed Kimo buffalo, Kimo banners, Kimo hats, and Kimo ribbons were sold with zest by various clubs. Kimo was a new trend in finally bringing the spirit lever back up. F 'fGradually, one by one we became a part . . . apart from the ordinary unity, unlike any others in the way we go about our daily tasks . . . something that makes it typically unique, 1980 Buffalo. We the class of 1982 were typically uni- que for we were the fiftieth accredited class.

Seniors had privileges such as being off half-days during sophomore and junior registration, practices for commencement, and college day. An annual event for seniors was the unofficial senior skip day. This event usually took place during the last Friday in April, but to trick the administrators, the students planned it for the first Friday in May. Many teachers planned a test for skip day after they found out about it.

The discipline has changed, Mrs. Mize said. 'Tm not as strict on them as I was in the beginning. The uniforms, in orange and black, have remained the same, however the wigs were not part of the original outfit. At first everyone had the 'flip' hairstyle and the wigs weren't needed. But then their hair went from one extreme to another, so we added the wigs with the flip hairstyles to make the group look uniform on the field, she explained. Mrs. Mize left Haltom Junior to originate the Highsteppers. The name Buffalo Gals came close to being picked as did a western style uniform. Mrs. Mize hopes the I-Iighsteppers can ex- pand because the participation has dropped. The group numbered 58 in 1966, but in 1982 only 43. At one time the group numbered in the 7O's. 'AI guess students aren't as disciplined or as dedicated as they once were. Back then it was unheard of to work, even during the summer, Mrs. Mize remarked.

Besides the everyday fund-raising items to buy, seniors had purchases to make, like caps and gowns and invitations, that were an almost must -for seniors. As the years passed and prices rose, parents had to dig a little deeper into their pockets to support the senior. The invitations, selected by the senior class bore the gold emobssed coat of arms and their color was parchment. Compared to last year's cost at 31c a piece, the price rose to 36C a piece. The Herff-Jones Com- pany sold the invitations in the foyer. during November. The invitations could be bought in packages containing name cards, memory books, key chains, necklaces with the in- signia, and thank you notes. .The Collegiate Services rented caps and gowns for 316.50, 32 less than last year. The expenditure for an extra tassel was two-dollars, a 500 increase. The gowns were the traditional black. Measurements were taken for the caps, but they didn't always come back the right size. Many students complained that the caps were too large and gowns too long or short. My cap is huge. l don't have that big of a headf, commented John Baxter, senior. 'fMy robe is almost to the ground, com- plained Anne Roberts, senior. Another item bought by seniors only was the senior composite picture. This picture caused quite a few problems. One was that the picture was taken during the junior year. The other problem, the price. The picture was usually taken during the senior year as a group picture and cost 37. The composite was 313.50 and individual pictures on one mat. Many students refused to buy the pic- tures because they were not satisfied. Many complained of the quality and cost. The pictures are not what I thought they would be. 313.50 is just too much to pay and I didn't even put a deposit down to order one. The students could get their money back if they wrote Smiley Photography and complained. And no one can forget the senior pictures taken at Marcel's. The sitting fee was 33.50, but if you ordered extra pictures it could cost 3100 or more. ln order to have a pic- ture in the yearbook Marcel's had to take it during the summer. So being a senior was not cheap. A good average price for being a senior was probably 3240.50 This estimate included the composite, caps and gowns, 375 for Marcel's pictures, 364 for invitations, and 316 for prom ticketsl 38 SENIORS Harper-Hodgkins Tina Harper Angie Harris Sandi Harris Susan Harris Sonja Harrison Carrie Hart Dan Hatley Waylon Hawkins Melissa Henderson Donna Hicks Dennis Hill Theresa Hill Tony Hill Tracy Hines Glen Hodgkins Picking up invitations in the auditorium, Car- ma Ralph and Evelyn Poland pay the re- mainder owed.

SENIORS Deborah Holoman Hollis-Johnson Turnout low Program actually talent show The senior program, as usual, just barely went on. The show which was put on to help reduce the cost of prom tickets would seem to attract many seniors. Wrong! Seniors seemed to be involved in other activities or scared of the stage to try-out for the pro- gram or uncaring. Try-outs were supervised by Mrs. Dorothy Mize and Mrs. Jo Ann Kelley. In- stead of following a script, the program was more like a talent show. The first day of try- outs no one showed up. No show, was the immediate thought of the sponsors. The sec- ond, and final try-out day, a few acts showed up. The show would be called off if something wasn't done. Seniors Robb White, Kevin Daniel and Del Pentecost talked to Mrs. Kelley, assistant principal in charge of the senior class. Reluctantly she agreed to give the seniors a few extra days. For several nights seniors, at least a few, gathered to make up skits and jokes. The show would go on. Only a couple dozen seniors participated in the show which consisted of 12 acts and 7 filler skits. Also, a black and white movie made by Sandy Eastwood, Robb, Kevin and Del, the Ucampus crusadersw chronicled the salva- tion of students from hard work. With two showings, the program raised about S1000 to reduce prom costs. Continuing the bad luck, microphones were stolen during the program, so seniors had to pay for that. Plus, at the assembly, a smoke bomb singed Cindy Stegall's hair and caused quite a disruption. The next assemblies were conducted with all teachers present and students in assigned seats.- Judy Hollis Linda Hollowell Tammy Holmes Jack Holt Bennett Howell Sharon Hughes Kent Irwin Felisia Johnson Kim Johnson Five days after the prom, Brian Ballinger picks his diploma.

SENIORS 243 Mouring-Pack 'Being new frightening, exciting Language, dress code different, breaking into 'in' crowd diffici Reprint from The Haltom Image, January 19, 1982. Hi, my name is Jill Luna, class of '82, Many people don't know me because I am fairly new at this school. Being a new student can be a scary ex- perience. Coming here has been hard for me to adjust. Most people don't think too much about moving 'cause they stay in one place most of their lives. Everyone must experience being new at one time or another in his or her lifetime. Moving has been pretty hard for me this time because as I mentioned before, I am a senior and I miss my class. By the way, I came from Ohio. Yes, I come from the northern part of the U.S. Things are very much different there. First of all, people talk with a southern accent, which I am starting to pick up. I came from a big city where most people talk slang such as What's up? or Straight up. When I talk, lots of people tell me to repeat myself because they can't understand what I am saying. Boy! I thought that everyone spoke the same kind of English, I guess not, 'cause I don't understand some of the Texas dialect either! Styles of clothes are different here also. In my school people dressed up a lot. Mostly high fashion or designer clothes. The girls wore clothes like in the fashion magazines such as 'LVogue,' or GIamour. Guys wore clothes that we would call GQ like dress shirts, skinny ties, Bogarts,'I pleated or baggy pants. Sure, people wore jeans, but they were either baggy jeans or designer jeans. Here not too many people care what kind of clothes they wear. Levi's are fine with me! I felt so funny when I came to school here with pointy toe shoes and skinny heels. The first place people would look at are my feet! Being accepted is really the hardest part. Everyone wants to be in the IN crowd. I find that many customs and fads have to be learned and changed in order to be accepted in the IN crowd. The best results are to be yourself. Being a new student has been a fun experience for me because I have learned about many new styles and actions about people my own age. I've learned things that I didn't know existed. In my lifetime, which has not been too long I've been to lots of places in the U.S. I have lived in New York, the big applef' Chicago, Hthe windy city, Puerto Rico, Utropical paradise. Can imagine 95 degrees on Christmas day? I e saw ole Santa in his red bermuda shorts. He great legs! As all can see, I have been a new person m a time. I could say I'm used to it, but I'm nc still freeze up at the thought of moving ag But, I love it. I wouldn't change any of it nothing in the world. Being new is frightening at first, but it's an citing and different experience each time. M. friends are to be met. Some are everlas' friendships. I still keep in touch with this gir New York that I've known since sixth grade. also fun to get letters from all those places th call home. I still get homesick, but eventually I over it. Oh, I forgot to mention one place I live Texas. Of course, I live here now and love ' plan to settle down here for awhile, but x knows, I may be on the moon some day or ma Mars, Jupiter, Saturn . . . people already tl' I'm from outer space anywayl Kathy Mouring Billy Murphy Neil Murphy Ronald Murrell Steve Mylius Teresa Nabors Sam Nance Mark Newman Ricky Newsome Carrie Nobles Kim Norris Lynnita North Melanie Nowell Chris Onley Dianna Orrick Dennis Ortiz Gary Osborn Sherri Osmon Derrik Overcash Tammy Pack 44 SENIORS Partridge-Puma On Western Day sponsored by student coun- cil a kicker wears hrs hat to class with per- mission of the assistant principals.

Mirrors, roses decorate prom Eight set prom up for rest to enjoy The decorations for the prom did not just appear on the tables at the Hyatt. As usual, a few undertook the task. The Senior Executive Committee nar- rowed down the suggestions made by the seniors in homeroom, then the students voted on the colors, flower, menu, song and program. 1 Working with burgundy and ice blue and the rose, the committee centered the decorations on a mirror tile with a hurricane glass surrounded by English ivy and burgun- dy roses. An ice blue candle inside the hur- ricane glass completed the table decoration. Seniors Melanie Nowell, Tara Schonlpr, Pam Rodriguez and Debbie McGee spent two weeks making the silk roses gluing and wrapping the greenery and adding ribbons. The day of the prom Melanie, Tara, Pam, Terry Braddock along with Mrs, Nowell, her daughter Sherri, Mrs. Jo Pennington and Mr. Trimble worked from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. decorating and setting up for the prom at the Hyatt-Regency. The girls really had to rush to go home and get dressed before get- ting back for pictures at 6:45.

Many groups decided to take trips for some purpose or another. Some for competition, class related travel. One such group for seeing historical sites was the government classes. Fifteen seniors and one junior went on the annual government trip to Washington, D.C. The group left with Mrs. Jo Pennington and Mr. Pat Pruitt on May 4 and were gone for a total of four travel days. The flew American Airlines from DXFW and landed at Washington National Airport. The trip cost 3489, which included bus, transportation, and meals. To help lower the cost students sold candy, cork boards, and strawberry items. Those who sold merchandise got credit toward their own cost. The group stayed at the Ramada Inn in Alexandria, Virginia. For three days they had their own tour bus and driver for transporta- tion. On the agenda was the capitol, Supreme Court, Ford's Theatre, and the FBI Building. Also the Smithsonians were toured. Items such as the first ladies' gowns, George Washington's uniforms, Bell's telephone and Whitney's cot- ton gin were viewed. At the Arlington National Cemetery Mona Shaw and Neal Quimby laid a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Besides Washington the government trip usually includes a short trip to another city or historical site. The group was going to Philadelphia, but there had to be 20 for a tour bus and money and time would not permit such a trip. The trip is hard because we are nonstop the whole time. We considered this when deciding to go somewhere else, Mrs. Penn- ington commented. The band also went on an excursion to Durango, Colorado. Their purpose was to com- pete nationally in the Durango Fine Arts Festival. They flew to Albuquerque and took chartered buses into Colorado. The Tammaron Resort in the San Juan Mountains housed the band for the four dayfthree night trip. Funds for the trip came from various fundraising pro- jects and private donations. The mornings were used for rehearsals and competition. Afternoons and evenings were spent doing numerous outdoor activities. Some went mountain climbing, bicycling, swimming, snow tubing, playing tennis, or shopping. Others relaxed in the jacuzzi bath or hot tub. The ski slopes were closed. In competition the symphonic band earned straight division I ratings and were rewarded a large trophy for best in classf' The concert band also won straight division I ratings.

O87 SENIORS 2 1 Good ole days going, going, gone Accustomed to reading the summary in- stead of the entire chapter, being friends with a teacher in a class of twenty eight, and using fantastic excuses for being late? Well, several students sacrificed those high school privileges, when they took their first college courses. For the second year, Tarrant County Junior College offered Freshman History and English classes to high school students. The college classes provide time for you to get some of the credits for college over with, Melanie Nowell, senior, said. Both classes should have met at the high school on alternate days, but due to a mix up with TCJC, the classes were offered at the same time and on the same days, but at different locations. This posed a problem for the students tak- ing the English course, because the classes started at 2:40 and if they had a fifth period, they got out of school at 2:30 and had only ten minutes to drive to TCJC, park, and get to class. High school and college students are the same. It's the settings and environments that make the classes different,'l stated Mrs. Ann Bastable, TCJC history instructor. The history class started out with eight enrolled, but by midsemester only three re- mained. The English course, taught by Cuyler Etherege, consisted of 29 students from Grapevine, Richland, and Haltom. In addition to college courses, one of the most important preparations to those who An Air Force representative answers questions from Bill Wines and Kenneth Sharp, seniors, at College Day.

Seniors tried to get an idea of where to attend college during their junior Year- However, the final decision was not Often made until the last semester of their senior year. In preparing for college, students filled out and sent entrance exams, admission ap- plications, and transcripts to prospective col- leges to meet the numerous deadlines. During December, major colleges and junior colleges from all over Texas took part in the Third Annual College Day at Wiley G. Thomas Coliseum. Representatives from 56 out of the 60 colleges invited answered questions and gave out brochures telling about their colleges. Between 250 and 300 seniors signed up to participate in College Day. Several junior English classes also attended. College Day definitely makes students more aware that college time is near, Senior Counselor Mrs. Libby Conant, stated, lt gives those who have not really been in- terested some encouragement. There were only three or four colleges I was interested in. They helped though, because they told things about their school l didn't know, Debbie Barnes, senior commented.

numerous other activities filled the month of May. Seniors ordered flowers for the prom, picked up caps and gowns, and debated over the class song. Then in one seven-day span of time, seniors attended their last day of classes, couples danced at the prom, Brian Greene introduced his father at the baccalaureate, outstanding students received awards at the recognition assembly, parents cried at graduation, and juniors and sophomores walked out of the school for the last time until September. It was over. The year that started . . . only yesterday it seemed to most . . . ended. Although the year was filled with unforgettable memories, students, like the school itself, underwent many changes, and found it a time to break away from the past and look toward the futurel At a pep rally, senior Debbie McGee twirls in front of the banner chosen to be the official flag of Haltom. ik as The watertower off 820 proclaims passers-by that they are in Buff Country.
