Careers was a senior selection, but any student would enroll in ensemble. In the fall the school day started at 8:20 but was changed at semester to 8:15 to give more time at lunch. Before 8:15 teachers and students were in the classrooms for tutorial sessions.

OPENING 3 4 OPENING . � ■ v Rule Changes Overcome No pass, no play came into full force and was a major concern of the athletes and coaches. This extra pressure caused more studying so that only one athlete was lost to the rule. To further emphasize passing, no games were played during exam week. Basketball for both the boys and girls changed with a new ruling. The ball is pushed over the line for a touchdown. Just a few more inches is all it will take for the Cowboys to get a first down. A tip-off begins a game or an over- time; at any other time possessions are determined by the newly installed arrows. Despite the rules changing, the athletes remained energetic, determined, and persistent in their goal of a district play-off spot. OPENING 5 Friendships Valued Friends may spend the new 30-minute lunch period listening to George Strait on the radios or tape players of their pickups or talking about the movies they saw last weekend, or they take turns buying Cokes (the Classic) at the Corner Coffee Shop. After school a trip down Tulia’s dip street may be the most im- portant event of the day. Friends also discussed the possibility of going to war with Libya after the airplane raids. The ac- tivities of friends may change but the loyalty remains the same. Tricia Foster and Jeana Stockett window peep on the little kids in the little gym.

Mace Middleton, junior, works ahead in geometry so he can go to regionals in Number Sense. Under the supervision of the Student Council, President Jay Wade Johnson puts the star on a “real Christmas tree. Marty Middleton grabs a high pass at JV work out in the little gym. The students at Happy High face the same problems at school as other kids do at other schools. English II diagramming, chemistry, and ac- counting homework are a part of the student's day. Voting for homecom- ing queen, choosing class officers, and wondering who got head cheerleader are other activities that fill up a student's day. But deep down inside, the students at Happy High worry about much deeper problems than just homework and class officers. Some students are saddened by the loss of the seven astronauts in the space shuttle crash. “I didn't think something like that could hap- pen, said a junior student. Many students, however, after school, forget about books and teachers and go home and work on the farm. The farming situation is not at all good and inside a student's head is that feeling of remorse. What if we fail, where will we move, what will Mom and Dad do?”, are all questions asked inside the head. English Gives Variety to Students’ Year The freshmen were in for the ex- perience of their lives entering English I. Awaiting them was diagramming and The Hiding Place. Work on grammar continued for the sophomores in English II. Research papers had to be the highlight of the year. They read Julius Caesar and All Quiet on the Western Front. An essay once a week awaited the juniors in English III. They also had to do a research paper. They, however, had to do a book report the first semester. Hamlet received the seniors upstairs. Writing theses and doing essays became a part of their lives the last six weeks. They discovered Chaucer's England by reading The Canterbury Tales and they watched Following along in their copies of The Hiding Place, the freshmen listen to Mrs. Smith.

ACADEMICS 11 Master Minds Make Math Memories Algebra I started off easy with equations, according to freshman Jim Tirey. The year got harder for the freshmen when they began doing FOIL. The students studied ine- qualities, circumference and radius, and square root. The geometry students found class harder with proofs and theorems for half of the year. With Mrs. Carlson's help, the class worked on graphs and geometric shapes. It was hard work, but it was enjoyable,” commented sophomore Tricia Foster. Mrs. Carlson also taught trigonometry to two students at dif- ferent times. It's a lot harder than algebra, said Shelley Greenfield, senior. Learning trigonometric figures made the students really think but algebraic functions were easy. Mrs. Sims taught FOM I and II. They studied fractions, multiplying and dividing, and decimals. Most of the Algebra I students think solving equations is hard and so is the homework. Marty Middleton takes one last look at his homework before he turns it in. In 7th grade computer literacy Mandy Stevens, Peggy Hartman, Laura Alex- ander, and Marc Bonds study their worksheets which explain the intricacies of computer programming. 12 ACADEMICS FOM class listens to the explanation of the Pythagorean theorem before attempting homework.

They studied the effects of drug and alcohol in the brain and they observ- ed osmosis in a carrot. Will you explain that again? could be heard quite frequently in the chemistry lab. The students got a chance to figure the pH in a liquid and make an alcohol. Measuring with flasks, using the proper test tube in a flame, and working equations were a major part of every day. The physical science class studied the effects of gravity on lead. They looked into the rotation of the Earth and its place in the universe. They saw how light travels through glass and can create a prism. Energy was studied by using magnets. Understanding how to work normal concentra- tion problems in chemistry requires Bill Mc- Carley's full attention.

The faculty found no problem when it came to passing the test. But, each teacher had a different viewpoint on the test and the bill. It was a waste of the taxpayer's money, and it didn't prove anything, said Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Via also pointed out that it was very stressful and it was ridicu- lous to think that her job was riding on one test. When it came to “No pass, No play, teachers found good points but the general concensus was that there could be another way for it to be done. I think that you need to maintain a strong emphasis on students making their grades but I don't feel that this rule is the answer, said Coach Stout. He feels that the emphasis should be on a cer- tain grade point average to play in athletics. The teachers survived all that the year had to offer and a little more. During the bad snow storm.

The seniors found themselves knocking on the door of opportunity. Graduation, however, was waiting at the end of the school year. Between the beginning of school and graduation, the seniors participated in many activities. Seniors were named flame king and queen, and a senior was homecoming queen. Seniors participated in football, basketball, golf, and track. All-district teams were not out of their reach. The junior-senior banquet honored the seniors and allowed the seniors to will a little something to the juniors. A hard morning in careers awaits sleepy-eyed Lisa Blanks.

Practicing skiing outside the motel room and attending the local fun house were just several of the night- time activities.

Many thoughts were fill- ing up senior heads. As Eliza Doolittle asked, What is to become of me? , so did the seniors question. Is col- lege the right way, what about the armed forces, or do you know where a job is, were some of the questions asked. No matter what the choice, each senior knew he had made it through thirteen years of school, and he was capable of doing anything he wanted. After having opened her valentines.

As the year progressed, the class sold mums at homecoming. To top off the annual occasion, chances were sold for Cowboy and Cowgirl spirit dolls. Jacinda Stockett represented the class as queen attendent. Kathy Via and Tom Lair, sponsors, assisted with a jail house at the Hal- loween carnival as well as many other projects. Jimmy Moore and Jacinda Stockett were selected as class favorites, and Mace Middleton was chosen Most Handsome at the Christmas banquet. In March the class sponsored a volleyball tournament. They did everything from working in the con- cession stand to calling lines. The class was rewarded with a profit of $1000. In the shadow of Golden Memories. the Jr.-Sr. banquet theme, the juniors worked very diligently to build a bridge for the decorations. Getting the bridge down the stairs to the cafeteria proved to be one of the group's most challeng- ing events of the year.

From dishing out homework to preparing for class parties, they kept the students working hard. Mr. Simmons helped the teachers keep their essential elements straight. He also helped evaluate the high school teachers. The sixth grade found life to be different this year. Besides being able to play Jr. High football and basketball, they were at the head of the elementary. They enjoyed math, science, and P.E.

The fuel that fed students and faculty, however, was feelings. Students cared, the faculty cared, but the money failed to care where it went or what it did. Students had feelings of remorse at the loss of the seven astronauts. Teachers had feelings of anger and frustration toward the TECAT but relief when the stickers came. Students felt the economic crunch as farm sales drew closer and closer to their farms. Seniors worried about the possibility of a war with Libya and having to leave home to go train to fight. From indirectly to direct- ly, people at Happy High were forced to feel. This sensitivity to our plights or suc- cesses made the difference. Senior Kelly McDonald comes out of the Mud Bowl to clean the mud out of his eyes and to wipe off. The seniors are lined up with excitement and are ready to march down the right hand aisle. Cyrano de Bergerac, alias freshman Marty Mid- dleton, fights his duel with Death as Ragueneau, Jim Tirey, watches his dying comrade. 118 CLOSING Sponsored by Senior Class Jimmy Peterson shows off his tie before the fireworks begin.
