Howard Payne College - Lasso Yearbook (Brownwood, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 216 of the 1987 volume:

Dedication When a Lasso is dedicated, the man or woman whom the staff honors has made a substantial contribution to Howard Payne during the year or over a period of years. The man to whom the Lasso is dedicated this year has served this ninety-eight year old school as student, staff and faculty member, trustee and now as president. From 1957 to 1961 when he was a student, it is said that more than one of his college classmates remarked quite seriously, “Someday he'll be president of Howard Payne.” Whether or not Don Newbury knew this at the time is unknown. Today, Don Newbury's presidency, a widespread dream for many people, is a reality for HP'' The 1987 Lasso is dedicated to a man, who through his Christ-centered attitudes and walk with God, will go down in Howard Payne history as one of the truly great contributors to HPU. His interaction, involvement and genuine interest has continued to amaze current students and delight prospects. The renewed spirit of cooperation, trust and a feeling that we’re all in this together” that has permeated the Howard Payne family is due to the attitudes he instills in those around him. Wonderful things are happening at Howard Payne and many, many of these things are because of Don Newbury. We salute you Dr. Newbury and pray God’s blessings on you, your family and your continued efforts. 2 Dedication bocoaRD payrae cinloeRSIt y Table of Contents Opening................5 Experiences...........11 Happenings..........12 Spiritual...........54 Performing..........68 Achievements.......80 Sports................93 Affiliations.........121 Classes..............161 Class Officers.... 162 Seniors............164 Underclassmen... 171 ; Guidance...........191 Closing..............202 People are important People.

For the year, the Jackets were 9-17, not exactly what Head Coach Nancy Cobb expected. The Jackets will lose only one player to graduation, but that player is all- everything Melanie Mayer. Mayer led the conference in scoring (19.6), was seventh in rebounding (7.7) and tenth in free-throwing percentage (.719). Mayer earned second-team LSC honors her senior year, after having been a first-team pick the previous two years. Mayer also earned All-American honors on the fast-break squad and All-Region team. However, the Jackets will have an experienced team going into the fall campaign. Junior Allison Lewis earned first team honors on the coach's All- LSC team. Lewis was third in scoring average and she should be a dominant force next year. Freshman Tami Pattillo earned honorable mention honors at her point guard position. Pattillo will also be the floor leader for the Jackets next season.

Coming off a second place finish in conference the previous year, the Jackets looked as if they had the potential to make the conference tournament again. However, the Jackets ended the year 3-9 in conference play and 10-17 for the year. Anthony Smith was named to the second team ALL-LSC squad, while Barry Kimball and Ezekiel Robinson earned honorable mention honors. Anthony Smith led the Jackets in scoring, averaging 14.5 points a game. Smith also led the conference in free throw percentage (.821) and was third in assists (4.2). Barry Kimball was second in the conference in three-point field goal percentage (.470) and seventh in free throw percentage (.786). 106 Men's Basketball 108 Men’s Basketball Jackets run in final LSC meet The Howard Payne Yellow Jackets competed in the Lone Star Conference track meet for the final time the last weekend of school in Commerce.

Freshman Averion Hurts, tossed the shot-put 50'1 to grab second place for the Jackets. The shot-put was also surrounded by controversy when ACU’s Amad Shata was disqualified for violating a rule. Shata did have a winning legal toss in the finals of 61'6 , but the Games Committee ruled Shata ineligible because he didn’t have a In the high jump, the Jackets had three members of the team place in the top five.

When I first started this project last September, my thoughts were that although the Lasso is a book for now, it is more importantly a book for tomorrow. It is my hope that you receive joy from it both now and in the future. I would like to thank some of the people who have provided me with memories that book—MissTessica Martin, for all the support she has given me and for teaching me things I had never thought about learning; Mrs. Kathy Martin, for providing encouragement and motivation; Clarence, for being a friend and for all the help he has been; Melody, for always saying yes;” and David, for being willing to do the sports section on short notice. And what would any letter like this be without thanks to my family and friends for putting up with the strange person I become around deadlines. God bless all of you.
