Make your words come straight to the point. How many times did your English teacher repeat those words? Well, Pearce came straight to the point in more ways than one. Starting off the year with 2,100 students chanting Mus-tangs, Mus-tangs, we achieved unity at the first pep rally against the Hillcrest Pan- thers. Even though the high point of the first week fthe Friday night football game! ended in defeat, our pride and spirit united us to become one. Through our excite- ment and enthusiasm, we had come to the same point.

Seniors were, of course, the leaders. They sur- rounded the door of the cafeteria during all three lunches on the se- cond and third days of school. Senior girls initiated the sophomore guys by rating them on a scale from Mommy's boy to 10. Yet the sophomore girls were not overlooked. The next day, senior guys waited for the inno- cent sophomore girls to be pushed into their circle of judges. These girls were critiqued as Go home sammy to What are you doing Saturday night? The humiliation as well as the excitement was there. It was new. It was hectic. It was tiring. It was revitalizing. But nevertheness we got to the point. fCoupe 8: Shieldsj Kazoo Bandits Tripp Payne, Diane Demarest, Craig Decherd, Todd Dyleski, Seth Daviodow, Ramona Con- ard, Buddy Acklin, lack Mcjunkin, and Stephanie Eaton help to fire-up the crowd with their radical Stripes ' per- formance at the Berkner pep rally. tHoliganj Opening I 3 Starting point Another summer came to an end and we were ready to get to the point. The year started as the 8:20 a.m. bell rang and we rushed to our first, first period classes. And that afternoon we found ourselves stacked high with homework, the result of the Richardson Independent School District's new superintendent Dr. Arzell Ball's idea of getting to the point. His new homework proposal consisted of three hours of homework each school night or a total of 15 hours each week. But homework did not stop us. As early as the second day, organizations were in full sw- ing. Pacesetters tried out for the game on the first Tuesday of the football season. If we Mixed emotions prevail. Football players Kevin Cooksey, Mark Craig, Mike Haigh, Greg Stewart, Chris Iacke, Charles Rahm, lim Carlton, and Eric Schreiber sit back and watch the events at a pep rally. fHoliganJ came to school early, we could see the cheerleaders perfec- ting their cheers to the background of the band tun- ing up for morning marching practice. While tuning, perfec- ting, and trying out, students were prodded by sponsors to get to the point and make the first football game on the first Friday night of the school year special. We kept right on going. We were striving to reach our goals. We were trying to get those points needed or class rank. We were trying to score those points in every single sport we participated in. We were striving to make new friends and to keep the old. We were striving toward com- mon goals. We were getting to the point. fCoupe 8: Shieldsb Many students spent their summer at the pool For some it was work. April Kilbourn soaked ui rays as well as money at Greenwood Hills Com munity Pool working as a lifeguard. fLeeJ its X if , V., Brothers Chris and Travis Smith and Steve Angrisano are regulars at the choir touch football games at Heights Park on Sunday afternoons at 1 p.m. fDinwiddieJ aspeclal seniors only pacesetter routine at pacesetters Kelly Winters, Kim Burgess, and Berkner pep rally Pam Tiller stuns the Kim Dudich look on with admiration. f stzzdezzt gf hat's the point? What was the point, anyway? Most of us agreed that friends were the point, whether it was boyfriends, girlfriends, or best friends. At pep rallies we all cheered together with one pur- pose in mind: to support our Mustangs. Arms crossed, hand- in-hand, we sang the alma mater at the end of every sports activity - whether we won or lost. And we shared our joys or sorrows over pizza after the games. This was what it was all about. As Friday nights were spent cheering on our Mustangs, Satur- day nights were usually spent out on the town. At six o'clock on Saturday nights, hair dryers were roaring and hot water was runn- ing as we rushed to get ready for that seven o'clock date. As the doorbell rang, we brushed our hair for the last time and ran to open the door. Whether that smiling face was a boyfriend or girlfriend or just a casual date, we knew a fun night was ahead. Though a dinner and a movie was the typical date, sometimes we doubled to Six Flags for a day or to Trail Dust for a night of good steaks and kicker dancing. After the exciting but hectic weekend, we spent Sunday hur- rying around to catch up on homework. We got together and studied for that English test that our unsympathetic teacher scheduled for Monday or finish- ed those five biology labs that were due. During the week, homework was sacrificed for more impor- tant things. We yelled to mom as we ran out the door that we would be home no later than ten o'clock. As we jumped into our cars we thought of all the things we had to do. Some had jobs. Others were lucky and did not work. This freed time for play rehearsals and organizational meetings such as Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Youn Life. Or we rushed off to lig weights or go to jazzercise class. And anyplace we went, we found friends with common interests. So what was the point? It was having fun and enjoying the good times we shared. The point was friends. fCoupe 8: Shieldsj Many students spend their leisure time in the Media Center reading magazines, newspapers, and books. Erik Crytzer spends his lunch reading his current favorite. fHoliganJ 6 I Student Life Iziusical rehearsals were called four days a eek from 7-10 p.m. Cast members Iill Saf- ran, Iulie Burbridge, Kristen Nelson, Erin Rust, and Melinda Amptmann rehearse on a Nlednesday night for the upcoming musical 'The Music Man.

Student Life - Summer X its S .3 5 t . in School ended with high expecta- tions of the summer. But what everyone didn't expect was how :iifferent this summer would be from others. The first change occurred when we noticed the Gemini drive-in was not the hangout on Monday nights as it had been before. Tonya Koegl said her reason for not going anymore was because, it Wasn't as fun as it usually was. Not only :lid the popularity of the drive-in decrease but also the Lake Lavon parties were ended because of the high water over the summer. This was disappointing for many ltudents who looked forward to their weekends at the lake. Another change was that almost everyone had a job. Part-time jobs included working at local stores such as Henry's and Skaggs Alpha Beta or at Prestonwood Mall in stores such as N eiman-Marcus and Paradise Bakery. Full-time jobs were more common than before. Some guys worked full time laying carpet and working on construc- tion sights. Many students Worked for college or a car and others worked for extra spending money. For instance, Chuck Ligon spent most of his summer working full time at Aberdeen Manufacturer. His hard work obviously paid off when he bought himself a 1973 914 Porsche. Last summer may have been one for some changes, but of course there are favorite summer activities that never change. Dur- ing the hot summer days almost everyone found time to spend at the pool, either swimming or just catching some rays. And, of course, there are those who love spending the afternoon watching their favorite soap operas which included, All My Children, The Young and the Restless, and General Hospital. A new water- park, Whitewater, opened over the summer and became just as popular as Malibu Grand Prix and the bumper boats. Most students Katy White concentrates on her mar- ching technique. fLeeJ Beth Allsop works on her tan at Green- wood Hills pool. CLeeJ found at least one chance to go to Whitewater to ride the waves and whip down the four thrilling waterslides. Nightime entertainment hadn't changed from past summers either. As always movies were popular. Some this summer in- cluded the science fiction movie E.T., the love story An Officer and a Gentleman, and the terrify- ing movie Friday the 13th Part III. Many students also threw par- ties during the week as well as on weekends, some even complete with a live band. And, of course, when all else, failed you could always go out to eat. Favorites ranged from Dalt's hamburgers and Bennigan's fried cheese to Ioe T. Garcia's enchiladas. As the summer drew to an end the Pacesetters and cheerleaders each spent a week at SMU for summer camp. Some members of the annual staff went to Mountain- view Community College for a week for the Dallas County Publication Workshop. And, of course, band members, football players and Pacesetters knew their last couple weeks of summer would be filled with daily workouts in the hot summer sun. Even though for many, summer was spent working, most found time to relax and have fun before the school year began. fMetcalfJ Summer-StudentL1fe f 9 Lunchmates Mandy Taylor and Allison Townsend believe that Michele Con- away's big sis has given her the wrong name tag. fBriggsJ E 3 Ziff, 'Q Sophomore English teacher Ms. Owens gives her class their books. fBriggsJ Bill Harrigan is partickpating in one of the many activities o a sophomore's first day. fBriggsJ 10 I Student Life-First Day A change of pace i I n v 'Wi is 3' Fl v-4 519151 .l erin: wt- as ii .saws -1 x.Q !' 9 41 ' 'flP1'ws' .

School had started again and seniors were strutting the halls with authority and a new sense of power. juniors strolled in with a carefree, secure look and a slight gleam of revenge in their eyes. Sophomores stumbl- ed into the awaiting schemes of the upperclassmen. The teachers were also back, waiting for the annual welcome speech given by Mr. Stamps and the usual chaos created by seniors. The tricks were up to par when seniors told first-day sophomores to leave the seniors only class and to check the schedule problem. The joke ended in a swamped counselor's office of confused tenth graders. But at the same time teachers were greeted with a pleasant surprise that the air condition- ing was on and working. Unlike last year, for the first day our hundred-ten-degree rooms were transformed to freezers. All considered, the first day was a change of pace for everyone, whether you were parading the halls in diapers and a lunchbox in hand, or ex- pressing your opinion of a sophomore on a flashing card, or maybe having the senior privilege of leaving after third to race home and watch General Hospital. We all had the same attitude about making the com- ing year special and different from years before.

When the alarm went off between six and seven in :he morning, the first thoughts of :he day ran through student minds. Oh no, another day, Ehought Sharon Patterson. Here we go again, said senior Derek Qhrig to himself as he pushed his way out of bed. Whether they fvanted to or not, students had to get their weary bodies up and h repare for the school day ahead. Some students had to be at school between seven and eight a.m. Among the early risers were he soccer players, basketball glayers, and gymnastic team embers who had to be at school io practice for perfection. Three ays out of the week the Pacesetter embers were at school around :ix a.m. Also most meetings were lield in the mornings. Senior, unior, and sophomore class neetings were held to discuss mls it-ve , .. - Q. uw'- Mum ,Q . , isa, fl, fund raising projects and class competition contests. The varsity football team met in the field house to go over plays and posi- tions. Wrangler and various club meetings held important morning activities also. And the Mustang band sacrificed an extra hour of sleep to be on time for seven a.m. practices. If you think the mornings were busy, just wait until you hear about my afternoons, said senior Steve Pilcher. He was right. The after-school scene was even more confusing. As soon as the after- noon bell ran , students rushed to their lockers For the last time that day. As they headed for their cars, they thought of the things that they had to do. Some students were so busy that they had to make a list of what had to be done. For the most part, minds were set on jobs, homework, friends, and families. But students like senior Stephanie Eaton could relax for a N v f lf it f .,., J 4 1? few minutes with a nap that was short, but worth the sacrificed time. Yet, many students like seniors Diane Demarest, Karol Glatz, Scott Barnett and junior Tom Huff had to race against time to make it to work by four p.m. But they were not the only ones rushing. The afternoon workout for most of the athletes began close to 2:30 and team members were often seen racing down the stairs on their way to practice. Even after the hectic schedule of the day, students still had homework to do. Some were easy going like sophomore Geep Stearns who said, I can leave school as soon as the 3:30 bell rings, and go home to eat and watch television. While they relaxed they could work on their never ending homework assignments. Then again, some looked at life like senior Craig Decherd. On the morning of the day it was due, Craig was in the cafeteria struggling to finish his elementary analysis homework. Those before school cramming ses- sions were a necessary bother for busy students. Something always had to be done. Students could relax only a few days during the year. If students were not busy in the mor- nings before school, they were probably saving their errands for after school. It was so hard to get things done on time, said senior Allison Vellejo. Students were con- stantly trying to fit in all the things that had to be done with all the things they wanted to do. Homework, extracurricular ac- tivities, parties, friends and even long neglected families were just a few of the reasons students were so busy. fEmmettJ Sophomore jenny Eaton does her algebra homework while she listens to Q102. fDrakeJ Before and After School-Student Life f 13 Nothing gained, everything lost The diet craze hit. The phrase, I'm on a diet was heard by many students, girls and guys alike. The students' opinions toward their scales changed from one of hatred to fondness as they Watched their weight go down. Students had many reasons for dieting. Many guys, like senior Gary Stephenson, watched their weight so that they could run faster, jump higher, and tone themselves down for the sports activities to which they belonged. Many girls, like junior Leslie Whipple, dieted in order to wear a size three and to look better in a swimming suit. In order to reach their goals, students tried many different diets. The Cam- bridge, the Beverly Hills, the Scarsdale, the no junk food, as well as the usual starvation diet were all tried. Although dieting was hard work, when a student lost a pound or two, he felt that the entire ordeal was worth it. Along with dieting, exercising was popular. Pacesetters, football players, soccer players, and baseball players were constantly at work trying to get their bodies into Senior Seth Davidow watches his weight for wrestling by eating a salad for lunch. fOliverJ 14 I Student Life-Exercise and Diet better shape. Running stretching, and calesthentics were all methods of getting the groups into shape. Not only did groups exercise, but individuals did as well. Instead of watching television and snacking on fattening junk food, students were busy exercising. Austin's gym, Elaine Powers, and Presi- dent's First Lady were often crowded with students working hard, sweating, and trying to make themselves look better. loggers were seen before and after school both on the Pearce track and along the streets. Many found that after awhile, they were so dedicated to their running that they felt de- prived if they missed a day. After all of the hard work was through, students found that their sacrifices were well worth their ef- forts.

Some students worked for their cars, while others were given a car for their sixteenth birthday. For those students who worked for their automobile, the work did not end when the car payments were made. Paying for gas and maintenance usually kept the stu- dent Working at a part-time job. Ironically, obtaining transporta- tion to and from a part-time job junior Richard Gonzalez gives his Mustang a bath outside of his home this school year. Washin and waxing was a weekly ritual for Riciard. fOliverl was often high on the list of reasons for buying the car in the first place. Getting to a part-time job was only one reason to have a car. Other students had cars to get them to and from school or for equally imperative reasons such as going to football games or going on weekend excursions. Shoe polish and streamers dressed up cars for Friday football games and many students invested in expen- sive stereo systems that added life to any night out. Virginia Blocker, who owns a 1978 Chevrolet Camaro, said, It's great having a car but mine gives me a lot of trou- ble. It won't start for anyone but me! When Leeann Watson was asked what she thought of her 1982 Ford Mustang, she stated, I don't like it cause it's a Ford. It gets me around but it's brand new, the steering wheel is falling off and it gives me nothing but trouble! Most students seemed to agree, though, that although owning a car was sometimes troubleg it was also fun. On a day, early in the school year, an informal parking lot poll was taken. Chevrolets topped off our 200-car cross section with 53 automobiles, 23 of which were Camaros. After the Chevys there was Ford with 31 automobiles, 18 of which were Mustangs. Last but not least, in the top three, was Oldsmobile with a final count of 30, 23 of which were Cutlasses. After the top three, Pontiac was fourth followed by Toyota, Dat- sun, Buick, Volkswagen, Mazda, Mercury, Cadillac, Dodge, Plymouth, and A.M.C., in descen- ding order. Bottoming out our chart at a mere one automobile were Ieep, Triumph, Volvo, and B.M.W. fLefevrej junior Cheryl Bellows gets into her car on her way to her part-time job at Paradise Bakery. fOliverj Cars-Student Life 1 17 To review for their written exam, driver's education students go over the basic rules with their instructor, Mr. Iim Lawrence. fDinwiddiej At the end of class, driver's education students do individual work in their books. fDinwiddieJ ? 18 X Student Life - Driver's License juniors Cari Bonner, Stacie Long, their newly-acquired driver's license Theresa Maxwell, and sophomores Lara fDinwiddieJ Barlow and Audrey Teagarden compare n order to get a parking space, ju- G G1 l l5?f......5i2, We Y' Entering the fast lane p 1. ...f null- 'S 'V' Sweaty hands gripping the steering wheel and butterflies in her stomach are what senior Sharon Lodge remembers most about her driver's test. On her first attempt, in May of 1982, she hit a parked van. I've never been so embarrassed in my life, Sharon said of that first mishap. The se- cond time around, her license plates had expired and she wasn't allowed to take the test. But, giving it that old high school try, she went back a third time and finally passed. Though we didn't all have 4 ' experiences like Sharon's, most of us can remember something about the day we took the driver's test. Even so, many students regard- ed their driver's license as a ticket to freedom. They were now able to drive to work and school. Iunior Ieff Miller didn't pass until his se- cond try, but even then he had a few problems. He made a wrong signal, drove in the wrong lane for a few seconds, and almost ran over his inspector as the officer walked in front of the car. In regard to his present driving skills, Jeff said, I'm a good driver when I want to be. Though most people got their license when they turned 16, many jumped the gun and got a hardship license. This is a special license designed for those fifteen- year-olds who claimed that they had no alternative method of transportation to school or work. But, in fact, most people just liked the idea of driving a year early. We all looked forward to getting our driver's licenses. And, though it was a nerve-racking experience for many of us, it was worth it to gain one more step towards in- dependence.

QWilczynskiJ Stepping out As the week of a Pearce student went by, similar happenings took place. Mondays and Tuesdays were usually quiet, although there was a dull roar of conversation about the weekend past. Wednesdays were about the same and the favorite phrase of the day was It's only Wednesday? On Thursday you could hear the chat- ter of plans being made with friends or sweethearts for the weekend. Finally, after four days of hard labor, Friday was upon us and the waiting was over. But what was all the anticipa- tion for? Why were all these plans so important? What really hap- pened during that two day slice of heaven that the students called the weekend? Anything from a fancy night out on the town, to a movie and pizza with friends, to an exciting game of football on a Sunday after- noon was what it was all about. The sources of entertainment were endless, and the one thing that students knew how to do was have a good time. On Friday nights, ff youcould find dedicated Mustang fans at either the football, basket- ball, or soccer games. When there were no games going on, the main source of entertainment was par- ties. Many parties Were given by the classes to earn money. At the senior Halloween party, everyone came in costumes and listened to a live band. The seniors also had a New Year's Eve lock-in which turned out to be a smashing suc- cess. But the seniors weren't the only ones who knew how to party. The juniors, and yes, even the sophomores had their own parties. Even Tri-Hi-Y's in both grades were responsible for a few gather- ings this year. In contrast to Friday nights when you saw large groups of students, Saturdays were usually reserved for that special date or a night out with a few friends. Din- ner and a movie was a typical date for students, although some couples stayed home. With the in- crease of pay TV and home recorders, movies could be enjoyed in the privacy of their own homes. Whatever type of entertainment the students found on Friday and Saturday nights, to recover from it all, Sunday was a welcome relaxa- tion time. Lying around the house, finishing a little homework, or watching football games could sometimes take up the whole day. But while some watched, others played. Driving past Prairie Creek or Mimosa Parks you could see the familiar sight of students playing football, frisbee, or any other games they could conjure up. The two-year traditional junior-senior girls football game was also an at- tention gainer. With all the activities that went on throughout the weekend, students had a chance to meet new people, have fun times together, stay out of trouble Cmore or lessj, and after all the excitement, make it back to school Monday. fWilczynskiJ Debbie Hager gives jim Carlton a traditional midnight kiss at the senior New Year's Eve party.

CKalrlssonJ Okay, one more time, yelled the director. Whether you had to remember on your own or you were reminded by an- nouncements, you were required to be there. But rehearsals, although long and tedious, were worth the time and effort. The time and effort went into the many different types of rehear- sals. The marching and kazoo bands, as well as the flag corps, practiced before, during and after school and frequently even into the evenings. The musical, drama and senior play programs dedicated many long hours in the evenings. The choir woke up extra early to rehearse for competition. Throughout the year, the Paceset- ters also devoted many hours to rehearse for competition and the Pacesetter Review. No matter what the rehearsals were for, the students involved put in numerous hours of hard work and concentration. Senior Carolyn Skooglund liked rehears- ing for Pacesetters because she liked being a part of such a good organization. It's always worth the time and effort at the end, even though those hours could have been used for a part time job, homework or maybe just free time. What inspired these students to give up their valuable time? Senior Ion Zeitler felt that the time he sacrificed was worth it because it is important to be involved. And it was also a lot of fun. The desire to have a good performance and the fear of failure on stage, field and floor also gave these students the push they needed to do their best throughout every rehearsal for which the students sacrificed their time. CMorenoJ Tim Roberts watches band director Mr. Bennett in order to keep the band in unison. fOliverJ Rehearsals - Student Life 1 23 See you at the sock hop Friday night was a common phrase in the '50's. Young people didn't have as many movie theaters or eating establishments as they do today, therefore, a school dance played a big part in social activity. Recently, however, with the tremendous growth in our area, the high school dance has become almost extinct. In junior high, a school dance was a big thrill. It provided a chance for us to dress up and mingle with friends - especially members of the opposite sex. But as we got older and discovered cars and dating, the need for dances as a social activity greatly diminish- ed. We had other places - Chili's, parties, or the drive-in - where we could go. Aside from other social interests, the lack of sponsor enthusiasm aided in the decline of dance popularity. It was necessary for each dance to be backed by a school organization. But to hold a dance an organization went through a lot of red tape. First, per- mission was required from Mr. Lowder. Second, the student body had to be notified. And then, after setting the time, date, and deciding on the admission price, members of the sponsoring organization spent time creating an- nouncements and posters to advertise their dance. With the tremendous cost of hiring a band or disc jockey, it was important to attract as many students as possi- ble. On the big day, group members, parents, and other volunteers cleared the corral of tables and chairs to set up the sound equipment and make room to dance. This was time consuming and nerve racking. With odds seemingly against them, a few adventurous groups did sponsor dances. The senior class held the first dance of the year on Sept. 17.

The general attitude seemed to be that dances were bor- ing and not worth the students' time or money. Senior Greg Cox said he wouldn't attend dances even if we had more. He said he's just not interested. The music was bad, and the dance was bor- ing, Ion Zeitler said of one of the dances he attended.

Sophomores were warned not to sit in the lower sec- tions, which were reserved for seniors. Yes, assemblies did get radical - there was smoking in the upper rows, obscene com- ments yelled by the audience, and small groups who always caused trouble. Because of this behavior, Mr. Stamps decided to ban general assemblies. Students went into a panic. What about fund raising assemblies and the senior slide show? Nighttime assemblies were our only option, even though the turnout would be greatly reduced. During the school day, though, we settled for teacher option assemblies, even though few teachers opted for them. Even though coming to school at 8 p.m. was a bit of hassle, who could possibly miss the senior slide show or the talent show? What will hap- pen next year? Only time will tell.

Although the tests were held only twice a year, the study- ing and preparation that went into taking the exams made it seem like a lot more often. Final exams were held to test the students' knowledge of the subjects they were supposed to have learned during the semester, and many of the students ended up relearn- ing the entire semester the night before the exam. These exams counted for one-fifth of the stu- dent's grade, so they took the time to prepare for their exams carefully. Although final exams were im- portant to the students, they almost seemed like nothing com- pared to the emphasis placed on the SAT and ACT college entrance ......---v-'- exams. The SAT, or Scholastic Ap- titude Test, and the ACT, Aptitude Comprehension Test, both tested the student's knowledge on basic English and math skills. These tests were important to the students because most colleges re- quired that students seeking ad- mission take one or both of these exams in order to be accepted. Because so much emphasis was placed on these tests, the Saturdays spent in the Richardson High School auditorium taking the tests on lap desks became dreaded dates. Tests, both semester exams and the SAT! ACT, played a big part of the student's year. These tests counted toward everything from passing a class for the semester to getting into the college of his choice. As senior Kathy Heye said, I hate taking exams and tests, but if, and when, I do well, I feel great and all of the time spent studying was worth it.

Spirit was not anything new on this campus, but Mustangs cheering together at a pep rally was always a thrilling sight. The unity that began in '81 was more than just carried on in '82. Class competition still had a little spark but was nothing com- pared to the fire we started for the Mustangs as a whole.

While the whole school was fill- ed with flowers, decorations, and excitement, homecoming united us in a way nothing else could. By dressing up during this important week we showed our spirit and became unified as Mustangs. Mon- day we colored the halls with our Hawaiian grass skirts, flowery print shirts, shorts, and leis. Digg- ing deep into trunks and closets, we located Dad's retired olive garb for Tuesday's military day. Finishing the week we wore hats and ties on Wednesday, the tradi- tional seniors red, juniors blue, and sophomores white spirited the halls on Thursday, while Friday we dressed according to our hall's theme.

Students' thoughts turned to a busy night filled with loud music, hot halls, and mass confu- sion. Stunning many, a new hall decorating policy was adopted, which placed a limit on the number of students and the time allotted for decorating. Students had mixed opinions. junior jen- nifer Nygaard thought, One of the best parts of homecoming is everyone getting together to do the hall. But, senior David Fargo said, Hall decorating this year was awesome. Mr. Stamps' policy was good because the people who really worked the hardest got to put it up and finish it. After a long, hard night of decorating, homework, practices, and rehearsals, rousing our tired bodies out of bed Friday morning was not a welcome thought, especially since it was raining. Even with the threat of flash floods, our spirits were not dampened as we hurried to school to see the transformed halls and wildly dressed students, and to give flowers and presents to our friends. The senior hall was changed into the world beyond the rainbow in The Wizard of Oz. Choosing American Graf- fiti as their movie, the junior hall took us back to a time of slicked back hair and poodle skirts. To enter the sophomore hall, we stepped through a row of teeth to see beach paraphanalia for the movie jaws Organized last spring, the homecoming revue was a big suc- cess. It proved to be a major money making project. Bob Zagotta, hop- ing to add laughter to the revue, organized the Not Ready For Bed- time Players. Drum major, Drew Debelack, organizer of the revue, was pleased with the revue saying, This year's revue was a big im- provement over what it was in the past. Wan Peltj Homecoming - Student Life I 31 The homecoming pep rally was always the best and this year was no exception. The Pacesetters per- formed a fast-paced routine to Iailhouse Rock, and the Kazoo band, after remaining dormant for a year, made a spectacular debut, playing songs from The Wizard of Oz, the theme of the senior hall. This year, as in the past, everyone thought that hall decorating prizes were not going to be a big highlight of the pep ral- ly, since the winners were predic- of the gym by varsity football players. The crowd sat in anticipa- tion as the court was announced - Story Blankenship, sophomore princess, Stephanie Von Tempski, junior princess, Heidi Hutzell, senior princess, and finally, Lisa Holmes, homecoming queen. Luckily, for the Mustangs, the threatening rain clouds dispersed in time for Mustang-Eagle Stadium to fill with spirited, expectant fans. Prior to the game, homecoming court again was announced. The . . but the win is worth it table - seniors first, juniors sec- ond, and sophomores third. But this year was different. Of course, the seniors came out on top, but contrary to tradition, the soph- omores out-did the juniors to come in second place, much to the juniors' chagrin. Because the ominous rain clouds still threat- ened to drench us during the game, homecoming court was an- nounced at the pep rally, adding extra excitement to the 40 minutes. Cheers and applause filled the gym as the candidates were an- nounced and escorted to the center princesses and queen made their traditional ride around the field in 1957 Thunderbirds. After a 28-0 loss the week before, the Mustangs had something to prove to their fans. We trailed in the third quarter 7-8, but late in the fourth quarter, the crowd went wild as David Ciszewski, senior tailback, ran 23 yards for a touchdown. Ciszewski also tacked on an im- portant two point run to put the Greenville Lions a touchdown and an extra point behind, making for an excellent homecoming win.

A rivalry so fierce that for one week in each school year it turns ordinary, every day school spirit into a wild-eyed obsession. During Pearce-Richardson week our minds were one-tracked - to beat the Richard Buzzards Because of the vigorous rivalry, the students went absolutely radical. We dressed in costumes, Warming up for Richardson by wearing Warm-ups, rocking Richardson with rock t-shirts such as Iourney, Styx, and AC ! DC, and mourning the Eagles' death with somber, black clothing. Senior girls stayed up until 3 a.m. and blew-off homework and sleep to paint banners which they hung on the Spanish Village sign. The same group of senior rowdies shoe polished cars in the parking lot so that PHS beat RHS could be read on the back Windshields of proud students' cars all over the city. We were determined to make this pep rally extra Wild and radical. But at the beginning it And the rivalr lives on . . . didn't appear to be so. As we rush- ed from our first period classes in- to the gym we were prepared for the usual pep rally: a cheer by the cheerleaders, a routine by the Pacesetters, the mascot dance, and the band's background music. But this time we were surprised. A funeral for the Eagles was held, complete with a death march, a stretcher, and a group of senior mourners dressed in black. Though the pep rally began on a somber note, our enthusiasm then burst with screaming voices and clapping hands as Mustang mascot, Sharon Patterson, jumped from under the sheet on the stret- cher for the traditional mascot dance. Since the gym would be packed with parents, ex-students and the entire student body, the Pacesetters had a special routine to Can You Feel a Brand New Day? The pep rally ended with the usual spirit volcano and the traditional alma mater, as we prepared for the highlight of the week -- the game that night. The game began and ended Fri- day night with as much excite- ment as the week preceding. Everyone bought tissue paper pom-pons and waved them furiously throughout the game, filling the stands with a flurry of red and blue. The Richardson crowd, also feeling the stiff rivalry, supported their team, but nothing matched the Mustang magic of the Pearce fans. We never sat down or stopped chanting, clappq ing and screaming. We backed the Mustangs with Hey big blue We're depending on you, so hey big blue, pull through! And they did pull through Although the score was irl Richardson's favor, the Mustanglj won in spirit and determinatio, by playing their best individuall and as a team. Even with th disappointing score of 28-O, th team felt a unity. One player Chris Sheppard, looking low and disappointed near the closing oz the game, was approached by fellow team member, joe Sawyer It doesn't matter about the score we'll play till the last whistlj blows because We're Mustangs an . we're proud of that. fD0dsonj t 34 I Student Life - PHSIRHS Doug Wingo and Mike Schlossberg help carry in the stretcher for the moc funeral held for the Eagles at the pep rally. fDinwiddieJ Diane Demerest, Todd England, Sandy Spiker are up late night to paint and hang a ' - reading Mustang Territory and Arapaho. fLeeJ 1 af-,nav V1 vx v S I A will in Sl N m, K3.m.

Iunior Beth Winston was always ready to go to McDonald's for a hot carmel sundae, after school, senior Amy Schwartz munched on Fritos and pretzels, and junior jill Galarneau loved Blue Bell vanilla ice cream because it tasted so good and it didn't make me feel like I was eating something that makes me fat.

Although some of us still got money from Mom and Dad, others had to get a job to gain that independence and to get those bucks everyone was so desperate for. With 1983 bringing higher unemployment rates and higher prices than ever before, students often found it hard to find the job they wanted and had to set- tle for whatever was offered. Since students costs rose from a large Mr. Gatti's pizza of 55.57 to 56.19 and from a movie ticket of 54.50 to S5 to cokes from 304 to 40a and cookies from Paradise Bakery from 501 to 5542, students often had the agony of sacrific- ing their Saturday nights and! or after school hours trying to get those few extra bucks.

On Mondays, large groups of eniors, juniors and sophomores .et at Young Life meetings. The ,eetings lasted for an hour and ere filled with singing, socializ- ig, and fun. On Tuesdays anyone riving past the Promenade Shop- ing Center could see a parking lot ill of Pearce parking stickers in ont of Mr. Gatti's. Early dis- ,issed seniors, like Chuck Ligon id Matt Burton, made the 53.05 .nch buffet a weekly routine. Dynasty ruled on Wednesday ights as the majority of students sat in front of their TV sets watch- ing for the next scandalous scene. Malls stayed open later on Thursdays, so students could be found at Prestonwood, Collin Creek, and the new Galleria shop- ping for clothes, records, or just window shopping with their friends. Even though students had small breaks during the week, they still looked forward to the weekends. As soon as Friday afternoon rolled around, students were putting their books in their closets and planning their evenings with friends. Almost everyone has a favorite place, but overall stu- dent favorites were parties, clubs, restaurants, concerts, movie theaters, and sports events. Of course, every Friday and Saturday night there were field parties, but only the lucky ones made it into clubs such as the Rox Z, Ground Zero, or even Confettis. The stu- dent who loved to eat out could be found at Chili's, Dalt's, Campisi's, and the best place for fried cheese, Bennigans. Movies, at the favorite UA 5 Prestonwood Creek, were one of our favorite places to hang out. And, of course, the year was full of concerts that Pearce students at- tended. The Who, Stray Cats, Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, and Pat Benitar were only a few of the sold-out concerts that we crowded tO. After our hectic weekend nights, Sunday came. Sundays were the relax and do homework days. But, when students wanted to take a break, they usually went to the park. Iuniors and seniors met at Prairie Creek Park to have a friendly game of football anytime of the year. Throughout the year students hung out with their friends, at both old and new places. Anytime a chance came along, students took it and went out and had fun. fEmmettJ At Chuck E.

You'd been sitting in class for what seemed like an eternity when all of the sudden the bell rang and you were free. Whether the vacation was for three days or two weeks, you were free to do what you wanted. What would you do? Where would you go? A lot of students had their vacations planned far in advance with school or church trips. Skiing was a popular vacation activity during winter and spring breaks. Trips to Crested Butte, Aspen, Vail, Keystone, and Copper Mountain were on a lot of students' vacation agendas, as were visits to Grandma and Grandpa's house for lots of food and reminising. Sophomore Dana Lockhart, who Went skiing winter break, said, It's during usually a lot of fun, but this year, way to the ski lodge, the on the bus got stuck in the snow and we had to walk a half mile with our bags. Not every vacationing stu- dent braved the cold though, some students preferred the Warmth of a tropical vacation. Senior Laura Ferguson took a trip to the British Virgin Islands for two weeks of sailing. Laura and her family went sailing with no experienced crew or captain which, in nautical terms, is called bare-sailing . Laura said of her sailing ex- perience, It was very windy which made it a big challenge. So whether it was freezing cold snow, warm tropical Waters, or just Grandma's house, vacations were an enjoyable time for the students. Then there were special days like Valentine's Day, Halloween, or April Fool's Day. These days were usually not spent at home but at school. Whether you were giving your sweetheart a card or 46 I Student Life - Holidays 8: Vacations When We aren't working . . . playing a trick on your favorite fool, most of these holidays held some activity to symbolize their passing. Although the nationwide threat of cyanide-laced treats hung over Halloween activities this year, the seniors still had fun with a costume party on Halloween Eve at Heidi Hutzell's house while the AFS club held a similar gathering at Nancy Cohen's house. On Valentine's Day the Spanish Club sold colorful carnations for S1 each. But this was not the only evidence of valentine affection. Most students exchanged cards and candy, but sophomore Danny Curtis gave each of his favorite valentines a heart-shaped balloon from his mother's private business. A month later, in March, St. Patrick's Day came in with a blur of green clothing. Primarily an Irish holiday, St. Patrick's Day allowed those students with their roots in Ireland to proudly pro- claim the fact with buttons reading Kiss me, I'm Irish! . Sherri Mor- rice seemed to sum up St. Patrick's Day, St. Patrick's Day is a lot of fun if you're with rowdy Irish peo- ple. But all in all, holidays were ay lot of fun for most students no matter what nationality they were. From ski trips to valentine cards,l students knew how to add life to. holidays and vacations. A multitude of school traditions asl well as new innovations made these days some of the most en-4 joyable and memorable high school experiences. 1LefevreD Looking over the selection, Scott Row decides which green button he wants to wear on St. Patrick's Day. fHoliganJ jx' ff? if flaw, Q xf Q '55 if 32 R Kathy Heye and Darlissa Dosset dangle from the ski lift awaiting their arrival at the top of the mountain. fGibbsJ Betsy Threadgill and julie Burbridge sit amidst an assortment of Valentine gifts.

There are quite a few items taken into consideration when looking for a college. The student's major, money, and loca- tion of the school came into the minds of most Pearce students. Then, of course, where their friends were going, what Mom and Dad wanted, and what kind of social life there was also became deciding factors in this ever- important decision. Nevertheless, somehow priorities got straight- ened out and the final decision was made pleasing student, parent, and budget. Family members also served as a big influence in some of the Pearce student's decision making. junior Angie Hughes chose Oklahoma State for various reasons, one be- ing her two brothers are now at- tending that college. And senior Mike Fink stated that he was sold immediately after his sister showed him around the Universi- ty of Texas campus. Visiting a school was a weekend trip and was Worth the trouble. Students got to know the campus and classes, while checking out the dorms and the night life. Although the decision of which school was hard to make, some students found that the acceptance became just as trying. The increase in student requirements in most Texas schools and the increase in hard work and determination on the student's part had to balance out to become an acceptance. To go about obtaining the infor- mation about a school, the student and counselor worked together figuring credits, transcripts, and class rank. Most colleges require a test of some kind. Whether it was the SAT, ACT, or an achievement test, students would travel to a dif- ferent high school or college cam- pus early in the morning trying to earn the highest score possible. 48 I Student Life - College Entrance Where do we go nowi In addition to tests and inter- views, scholarships were offered to many Pearce students. Leon Carayannopoulos received a four- year academic scholarship to the University of Texas in Austin, while Mustang football player Paul Stuart was planning to go to Baylor University in the fall on a football scholarship. Paul summed up his feelings by saying, lt's great to think that a school I've always wanted to go to wants to pay my way to attend. Whether the student picked the school or the school picked him, college was an experience everyone looked forward to. fWilczynskiJ At a special party in the coaches' office, Ioe Sawyer signs a football scholarship given to him by Abilene Christian University.

Varsity football, FCA, re-law and the all-sports banquet fere just a few of the impressive inners held this year. With the number of dinners we ad, sport dinners were at the top Ethe list. The varsity football and sketball teams met at a different ayer's home every Thursday 'ght during their seasons. The fter their meal at this year's football hnquet, Rob Frizell and Holly johnson players' moms took turns fixing hearty meals and the players had a chance to get together and relax the night before the big game. After the season was over, the booster club usually held a banquet for the team and all of their supporters. The PHS football banquet was held at the Northpark Inn. There were speeches by coaches and the guest speaker Bobby Collins, head coach of SMU. These speeches showed the feelings and attitudes that enjoy socializing with the other guests.

This dinner was held toward the end of the year to bring all of the athletes together. The senior class held two pro- gressive dinners this year that turned out to be successful. They were open to all senior girls and their dates. The cost was S10 each or S20 a couple. The houses were donated by senior parents. Each couple went to a total of three houses: one for hors d'oeuvres, another for dinner, and a third for dessert. The clubs at PHS also held din- ners to bring their members together. On Dec. 14, the Pre-Law Club held a Christmas dinner at the Magic Time Machine. These 12 members celebrated the holidays in style, with delicious food and dancing. The foreign language clubs also held a dinner. This gathering took place on Dec. 15 in the corral. There was a variety of Spanish, French, Italian, and Greek foods. Each club also work- ed up a skit or song for the entertainment. All the dinners held this year were successful. Students had a chance to get to know one another better and also to enjoy good food and fun. fEmmettJ At one of the senior progressive dinners, Gib Wilson and Marty Meyer enjoy their entree at Elizabeth Foster's home.

Parents played a large role in our lives, both in our mental and personal development. They were our guiding force, moral support, and encourage- ment. When we needed a ride to school, money for the weekend, clothes for the winter, or just a friend to talk to, our parents sup- ported and provided for us. In every way they could, our parents were always there to help us complete our homework when we thought we would go crazy with it and to plan our parties the night before we were supposed to have them. But as much as they helped us, at times they were still a burden. When they drove us to school in the morning, their hair was usually awry and their bathrobes thrown on. We all felt the same way as the student who got out of the car as quickly as he could and hoped that nobody saw him. And we could sympathize with the girl that wanted to die when that cute salesman was help- ing her and her mother kept call- ing her little Punkin. We all felt sorry for that sophomore who was mortified when his mother in- sisted that she accompany him to get his schedule. But fortunately, our parents were also the only ones we could be sure would still love us even after an argument. Despite their idiosyncracies, parents wanted to help us. Some bailed us out at the last minute by signing checks for class pictures, club T-shirts, or group trips when we ran out of money. Or else it was just by signing one of the many permission slips that we brought home. Sometimes our parents helped us get a schedule change. Some parents, even though they were long out of high school, got involved through the PTA and Booster Club. The main purpose of the PTA, according to president Ioan Heye was to keep parents in- formed and encourage parent in- volvement. Parents handed out schedules, worked on the PTA newsletter, sold football tickets, and went to pep rallies or football games. Mrs. Heye stated that parent involvement was large because parents enjoy high school students. The Booster Club, another parent involvement activity, was an organization of people who want to see a further- I ing of sports activity, at Pearce,' according to president jerry Wilson. The Booster Club, con- sisting mostly of parents of athletes, raised money for various teams at school. Some parents were involved with the school because they worked here. Daughter of junior honors English teacher Ioye Davis senior DeDe Davis said that one of the advantages of having her mom work at her school was to know a bunch of teachers before having them. And sophomore atten- dance office secretary Ieanette Carey felt that having her daughter Kim going to the school where she worked was an advan- tage because she liked knowing what's going on in the school and knowing her daughter's teachers. But no matter how our parents were involved in our school, they were always there for us. fCohenJ Mrs. Carey signs out sophomore Kelly Smith so she can go to her doctor's ap- pointment. CDinwiddieJ Parents - Student Life X 53 Yes, it was a bad day. You failed your AP Biology exam. The guy of your dreams just stood you up for Friday night. Your best friend would not speak to you, and to top it off, you weren't invited to the big party that everyone else is go- ing to. You felt like crying and tell- ing someone who was caring and understanding about your rotten life. You swing open the front door to find someone who loved you, someone who would listen to you, and who understood - who else but Dustin, your soft, warm cocker Spaniel. Picking up Dustin, hugging him close, the tears started rolling as you told him about the rough blows life was dealing you. Somehow, talking with Dustin comforted you and made life a bit more bearable. Pets were terrific. They loved unconditionally and were always ready to lend a sympathetic ear. Senior Virginia Blocker said, When my parents and I fight, I take my dog Tucker in my room and we rap. Senior Mike Fink loved his cat Sneaky 'cause it's furry and I like to hold it when I'm depressed and listen to it purr. It makes me feel better. Sean Dooley, senior, liked the reaction he got from others because of his pet. He said, I like my tarantula because he scares people. He's a good watchdog.

CSilvermanJ I bring. At Pearce, kidnapping was the most popular form of initiation in- to a club or group. The type of in- itiation was limited only by the imaginations of the abductors - ranging from wildly bizarre to messy to tame. Philip Verges used his creativity and imagination when he planned the swim team kidnapping. Yogi Yeager, the only new male member this year, was the sole subject. With a dress borrowed from his sister, a wig, and a touch of makeup, Yogi was transformed into a ravishing beauty ready to meet the guys looking for action on Forest Lane. And meet them he did. Riding in an ugly Travel-All truck, Yogi was hung out the win- dow and offered for money, in ad- dition to meeting everybody at Burger King and those parked along side streets. His two best suitors were two rich guys cruis- ing in Daddy's DeLorean. Besides being bizarre, kidnapp- ings were embarrassing. The little sisters of the Frate Tri-Hi-Y could verify that. Throughout their ordeal, which included being drag- ged out of bed at 2 a.m., taken to the jock lot, decorated with honey, eggs, molasses and makeup, and washed off at the Campbell and Nantucket car wash, they were the subject of male scrutiny. The most embar- rassing part was probably the wet pajama contest at the car wash. Jenny Eaton, one of the kidnapped girls, said, It turned out to be pretty fun. It was embarrassing, though, because there were so many people and we were in our t-shirts. But, because of the large number of people to be kidnapped, the big- gest undertaking was the kidnapp- ing of the varsity football players by the varsity cheerleaders. The girls chose to kidnap the week of the football banquet because it would be one last get-together befor the end of the season. Some player suspected something when mothers warned them to clean their rooms or wear shorts to bed. Rick Iones, who was awake study- ing, thought someone was break- ing into his house. The tired players were treated to a huge breakfast at Debbie Hager's house before going home to get ready for school the next day. Each year, it is a band tradition for the senior women to kidnap the band underclassmen. Planned more than a month before the event, organizer Allison Wiggins and the senior women were well prepared. The long night started with a party at Leslie Loden's house. At 1:45 a.m., the girls left to pick up their assigned underclassmen, who were forced to wear their marching shoes. The first stop was the big flag at the Promenade shopping center where the group was forced to do marching drills in the cold night air. Next, the underclassmen were blindfolded and taken to the graveyard where a few were forc- ed to walk among the dead. Then, the intense hazing action, which consisted of wrapping houses and making nocturnal visits to Skaggs, followed until 6:45 a.m. The last stop was Allison Wiggins' house where the band filled up on hot chocolate, doughnuts, and cake. Kidnapping was probably the most embarrassing, bizarre way of initiation, but it was always fun. It was also a way for members to become acquainted. Kelly Moreno, who was kidnapped for choir, said, It was fun because we all got to know each other that night and became closer as a group. For all involved, kidnappings will be the source of fond, funny memories forever. Wan Peltj Kidnapping - Student Life I 57 o 'Trouble in River City' As the curtain rose, a hush came over the audience and Bart Hogue and Suzanne Beall stood backstage with butterflies in their stomachs. But all the jitters ended as the music began. Although Gary, In- diana and Seventy-six Trom- bones were two of the most well- known songs, The Music Man band became familiar with many others during long rehearsal hours. Even though homework and sleep suffered because of rehearsals, the cast had the op- portunity to meet new friends, jill Saffran's favorite experience. But to junior Travis Smith, The musical is a great opportunity because most students don't ever have another chance to do something like this. Although it was fun, preparing for The Music Man was a long process. It began at the end of last year when drama department head Zona Ray and choir director Woody Christman presented The Music Man to the school board for approval. In September, only two months before the musical was to be performed, approximate- ly 125 people auditioned for the cast of 60 members. Sacrifice began there as over 120 hours were put into the rehearsals starting at 7 p.m. and lasting as late as 10 p.m. on three consecutive nights. The dedication, practice and production of The Music Man gave choir and drama students first-hand experience of perform- ing on stage. Though the musical was not a comedy, it had humorous overtones that made it difficult to perform. So to make the musical run smoothly, we made a strong effort to run the scenes back to back, Ms. Ray said. She also remarked that the con- cepts we tried to employ worked and it came together. I was im- pressed with the professional at- titude of the students and the way they handled themselves. 58 f Student Life - Musical Winthrop, played by Foreman Roger: has a lisp.

But we didn't realize just how much that news influenced our lives. The newspaper, t.v., magazines, and radio informed us daily of events which occured in our neighborhood or halfway around the world. Sometimes these events seemed minor to us. But they ac- tually affected all of us in some way or another. The November elections affected us directly by giving us a new governor. And not quite so directly was the death of Leonid Breshnev and the coming of a new Soviet Union leader, Yuri V. Andropov. Perhaps what hit us most was the deaths in the movie industry: Henry Fonda and Grace Kelly Grimaldi just to name a few. Even though we often tuned out news that was more important to us than we thought, we realized news was an essential part of our lives. But through the media or on- ly by word of mouth, we kept in- formed. This information given of events and happenings was influential points in our lives. fCoupe 8: Shieldsb Current Events - Student Life X 61 Neat-o, groovy, mod, hip, cool, excellent, to the max Iust like our words and phrases changed, so did our fads, fashions, and current favorites.

Yet more than just styles changed, our favorite hangouts, movies, and radio sta- tions changed as well. The expensive pastime of keep- ing up with the latest fads and fashions always hit us hard.

However, these points weren't chalked up through luck. They were earned by hard workouts before and after school. Yet these workouts had other advantages than just another Mustang win. They gave us a feeling of self- worth, success, and pride that we were contributing to Pearce's ad- mirable reputation, not to mention gaining a toned-up body. We all knew, though, that it wasn't the effort of single in- dividuals, but the effort of the team as a whole. We worked to im- prove ourselves - and at the same time, to better the team as a whole. We chalked up points for ourselves, the team, and Pearce. CCoupe 8: Shieldsb w l N i-W W Consisting of sprints and hundreds of laps, Q swimmers wor outs are physically deman- ' ding.

The Mustangs started the season with a positive attitude going into the game against Hillcrest. Although the first half of the game went slowly for the Ponies, the second half made up for it. Fac- ing an uphill battle, the Mustangs scored 15 points during the second half. If we hadn't run out of time, we would have won the game, said senior defensive tackle Mike Haigh. The team headed for Duncan- ville for the second game, ready and planning to 5 . 1 . a' Q . win. Putting the first lo behind them, the Poni knew what they had l do for a win, and tht came out on top.

The undefeated Plano Wildcats dropped into our home field for the next fight. Starting off on the right turf shoe, the Mustang offense scored right away. The defense held back the Cats 6-6 until the end of the third quarter. Though the Wildcats left with 14 points over the Mustangs' 6, the entire game was a constant match for both sides. The following game was against our arch rivals, the RHS Buzzards Both teams were really psyched up, and they played hard. The Eagles ended up with all the points. The Greenville Lions, who stood in a tie posi- tion for first place in district, showed up next. Everyone thought they would win, but the Mustangs broncoed their way to a victory. The kicking team had their best showing yet. It was time to travel again and our team was assured another win. As they stepped out onto the Plano turf, excitement . . on and off the field' stirred through the players' minds. One touchdown after the other was scored against the Plano East Panthers.

Flying high, the Ponies held the ball and ran for two touchdowns. The wet ball practice during the week prepared the Mustangs for a mud match and we came out on top. Then with a record of 4-4 and an outside chance at a playoff spot, the Mustangs got ready to welcome Lake High- lands. Since it was the last home game of the season for the Mustangs, the war was a sellout. Scoring fast against the Wildcats, the Mustangs were ahead 10-0 by the first quarter.

He was refer- ring to the winning play against Lake Highlands in which Tony Laday ran back a punt for a 63-yard touchdown. The 21-14 come-from-behind vic- tory was by far the most exciting game of the year. The season began with a good 2-0-1 start for the IV, with victories over Hillcrest and Duncan- ville and a tie with W. T. White. A victory over Richardson was sur- rounded by disappoint- ing losses to Plano and Greenville. After an open week, the Mustangs came back with a good effort in a heartbreaking 12-6 loss to Berkner. Then the win over Lake Highlands was followed by a loss to Lewisville. Even though the IV's final record showed several losses, the team did much more than meets the eye. The IV was often overlooked and not given much attention by the student body, but not by the coaches or the varsity squad.

The thrashing of Den- ton C27-OJ and the close win over cross-town rival Berkner provided excite- ment. But the most ex- citing moment of the season had to come in the closing moments of the Lake Highlands game. With just a few minutes left, the Mustangs scored but failed to make good on the go-ahead two- point conversion leaving them behind 14-13. Then, on the kick-off, Mike Metcalf recovered an on- sides kick which enabled the Mustangs to drive the ball down the field, set- ting up a 29-yard game- winning field goal by Brad Ream with only 40 seconds left.

He bent over to wipe his hands on his socks - the only dry part of his uniform - as the sweat from his hair fell in droplets onto the gym floor. He was nervous. The ref tossed him the ball, and as he heard the discouraging chant being yelled by the visiting crowd, he was determin- ed to make this shot. Fly- ing from poised hands, the ball made a perfect arc before going straight through the hoop. Our side went wild because one of our Mustangs came through again. The varsity basketball team put on dazzling performances with spine-chilling finishes. The games that ended in wins were not easily achieved. Many times the games kept us on edge as the Mustangs pulled from behind to become victorious. Some victories were hard to forget, especially for seniors Keith Lair and Gary Stephenson, who made jump shots in the final seconds to get that one point needed to win. Gary said, No matter who we were playing or what the situation was, we always had con- fidence that we were go- ing to win, even if it was at the buzzer. One of the highlights for the players was being able to play before the Mavericks 76'ers game at Reunion Arena.

Because so many sophomores played varsi- ty, and due to the fact that eight of the girls also played volleyball, they had little practice before the season began. While the team possessed much natural talent, team work never quite developed. Although the team had many hardships they had their moments. The girls placed second in the Newman Smith Tourna- ment and two players, senior Carol Case and junior Lynne Grant, were named to all-tournament tea.ns through the season. The girls did not give in without a fight. Despite a discouraging season, the team kept a positive attitude. Bonds of friendship developed through struggles they faced. Senior Julie Blas- ingame said, The sophomores this year were wonderful. Not on- ly were they super athletes, they were super people. While three seniors provided solid leadership and ex- perienced play, the sophomores were not to be outdone. What they lacked in experience they made up for in desire.

When asked if any players stood out above the others, Coach Parnell Dn the ball said the whole team was promising and several players would be able to play varsity ball. Any time a team wins 17 games, they've had team success, Coach Parnell said.

By success- fully overpowering the com- petition, Pearce's soccer team became the first state cham- pions. Most agree that after the grueling shutout victory over Bryan Adams, the team was likely to go all the way. Mungioli said, After the Bryan Adams game I had a feeling we were going to win, but I didn't tell the players about it. The final showdown came at Nelson Field, where the Mustangs played Westlake for the state title. Amid the cheers and screaming fans, Pearce proved they were number one. The fan support was unbelievable, according to Frank Dittoe. They were really radical. The Mustangs were champs, not only to us but to the whole state. Summ- ing it up, Dittoe added, We were the first state champs. We worked eight and a half hard months. We did it. We knew we could all year.

One contribution to the team's success was the many hours of prac- tice put in by the girls. At 7:30 a.m. each weekday morning, the girls work- ed out together in preparation for the com- petitions they would face. Being on time for morning practices meant giving up many hours of sleep but that was not all. Some of the girls gave up more than sleep. I had to give up playing basketball so I could play soccer, but it was worth it, sophomore Sally Dunn said. But all of these long practices were designed not only for the benefit of the team's record but also for the girls. Most of the girls were playing because they had in previous years, but Coach Alba Pickering wanted something dif- ferent for the girls this year. I feel it's important for the girls to learn to work together as a team and to develop their skills. Working towards these goals, the girls finished their season with a 14 and 2 record and an ac- complished feeling of success. fShmockJ Playing the Berkner Rams is stiff competition.

The girls were at Pearce twice a day, three weeks before most students were even thinking about going back to school. Their devotion, however, did not end in the summer. During school the girls practiced every morning from 7:30-9:15 a.m. The team's hard work produced a very strong team, according to Coach Leslie Flachmeir. This was surprising consider- ing the fact that, except for one junior, the team consisted of all sopho- mores. It really surprised Coach Flachmeir that so many of the girls stayed on because the work was really hard, and a challenge compared to playing with junior high teams.

These honors, how- ever, were not earned without long hours of practice. Everyday, dedicated members could be seen practicing from 3 p.m. until dark at Sherrill Park and Canyon Creek Country Club.

Track is not a glamorous sport. The girls must be, and are, dedicated and hard working, said Coach Gail Blackwell.

With a new coach and many rookie team members, this was a rebuilding year for the squad. Though they were underdogs in district competition, the girls built a strong team by improving their in- dividual skills in the track and field events. Track has often been hurt by being in the same season as soccer and gymnastics. In the shadow of these more popular sports, track is forgotten by many girls. Therefore, those who participated were ex- tremely dedicated to their sport. As junior Carla Cannon said, We all gained a lot of to- gethernessf' This was evidenced as the girls united their indivudal talents to become the best team possible. Meanwhile the boys track team was working just as hard. They work- ed out during sixth period and after school. Buzz Andrews, in his se- cond year as coach, said, We want to build a strong program and I think we have the talent to do it. The team was evenly balanced between the three classes which should guarantee a strong team for this year and the years to come. Both Coaches Talley and Andrews felt that the team featured several outstanding performers and would do well in district competition. As sophomore jim Ruf said, Track was a lot of hard work, but it was wor- thwhile. The team's suc- cessful year was the best proof of this. fLochridgeJ During afternoon practice, seniors Mike Moffett, Denny Noel, and Ieffre Vrielink stretch for the fllnish line.

Track - Sports f 91 Over the hills and through the wood: If meeting goals was a gauge for achievement, then this year's girls cross country team was suc- cessful. We're rebuilding the team, Coach Gail Blackwell said, and we're happy with our success. The team's goal was to run respectably in the district, and they achiev- ed this goal by coming in fourth. The 16-member team ran the two-mile race in eight Saturday meets. Preparing for these competitions, the girls practiced before and after school, running a total distance of eight to 12 miles a day. Four or five established practice routes provided a choice to team members and broke the monotony of daily practices. The six- month season came to a close in january when the girls held a party dur- ing which they received jackets and awards. Coach Blackwell was satisfied with the team's accomplishments saying, We have a young, en- thusiastic team with lots of determination. The boys were equally successful in meeting their goals by winning nine trophies in seven meets. The varsity boys came in either first or se- cond in almost every meet with only one third place while the jV boys remained undefeated in the Dallas!Fort Worth area with only one loss to a Houston team. Coming in third in the district, the varsity team missed going to regionals by on- ly six points, but many individual team members continued in competition with noteable success. Denny Noel was ranked number one in the district and thirteenth in the state earning him a place on the All-State second team. Matt Mitchell was ranked ninth in the district, Mike McGinn was ranked thirteenth, and jeff Mannisto was twenty-first. The boys had a different workout and race distance from the girls. The team ran a total of 14 miles a day for practice and a three-mile race at meets. Running on the same schedule as the girls team, the boys team also ended their season in january. One of this year's captains, jeff Vrielink, commented, This year we had cap- tains who could help organize, last year we h a d n o s e n i o r leadership.

Weeks before the season started the team gathered and viewed a film on Vince Lombardi which motivated them to set and pursue goals. After a long off-season the team was ready to start full-scale in-season practice. The team worked overtime by Covering all the bases coming early in the mornings to lift weights before school and their afternoons were filled with long, tiring practices. The team was ex- perienced with seven returning starters. The pitching staff was strong with three out of four on the starting rotation be- ing seniors. The pitching staff included Gary Stephenson, Mark Wallace, and Mark Wen- shaw, with junior Rob Braley rounding it out. While the defense of the Mustangs looked strong this year, Coach Porter remarked, We're going to go after them with our offense. Though the team lacked somewhat in individual talent, they made up by playing good team ball. The guys worked hard together this year and, with a small squad of 16 guys, found out what team unity can do. fKimbrelD Pitcher Gary Stephenson prepares to fire the ball. fliimbrelll Stretching as far as he can, Todd Deleski dives for a ground ball.

I like sitting on the sidelines cheering on my friends because it's ex- citing to watch - especially when it's a close race, sophomore Lisa Poehner said. In addition to the swim team, Pearce had a diving team consisting of three people. Senior Margie Kneese, junior Lewis Meyers, and sophomore Lisa Poehner perfected their techni- ques for two hours each afternoon. junior Lewis Meyers had additional practices because he also dived with the SMU div- ing team and won many honors including All- American and an elev- enth ranking in the na- tion. I really like diving because diving is where most of my talent is, commented Lewis. My goal is to be the best I can be. Although the swim- mers and divers worked hard, they also had fun. In October, they had an initiation for all the new swimmers. Every new swimmer was dressed up in old clothes and parad- ed around Skaggs. Final- ly, after doing Chinese fire drills at every red light, they met at Margie Kneese's house and had a party. During the year, the team had other par- ties and went out after the meets which made them closer as friends and as a team. Like many other swim team members this year, junior Traci Sallinger felt that we got to know each other better and that we were closer as a team. Because the swimmers became united through their common goal to win, they had an outstan- ding season and many new friendships.

The informal atmosphere of an organization gave us the chance to be ourselves while gaining invaluable experience. As well as gaining experience in regular meetings, clubs gave us a chance to expand our knowledge past the walls of Pearce. Through side trips with clubs, we were able to visit places such as museums, con- tests, and other cities that we or- dinarily wouldn't have visited on our own. We sometimes didn't get our homework done because of a club party or didn't get enough sleep because of an early meeting. But we didn't mind.

After speeches were made over the intercom, four class officers were elected to represent each class. Following the sophomore election, of- ficers sold bumper stickers leftover from the 1981 season.

Interested students filled out applications. Then, they were subjected to a rigorous interview by MIP director, Kay Pinkham. Some ques- tions were soul-searching like, What is your major strength and what is your major weakness? Others were thought- provoking like, Why would you be a good can- didate for MIP? and, What three goals do you hope to attain next year? After the interview, anx- ious students waited two months before the final decision. Finally, near the end of their junior year, the applicants received white envelopes, via their English classes.

It gave high school seniors the once in a lifetime chance to work with a profes- sional in a career of the student's choice for a few hours each day - the chance to see what the business world was real- ly like. MIP students regarded their experience as valuable. Lynn Green- berger, studying interna- tional business at Lennox Industries, said, I think being in MIP has given me an edge. After college I'll be able to say I've had experience and the business world won't be a big shock. Working in the professional world now has given me an- swers about what the future will be like.

Starting last August with a week-long orientation workshop, our 23-member staff, the largest ever, had been busy having pictures taken, getting interviews, and meeting deadlines. Aside from our daily fourth period class, we stayed at school many late afternoons, which turned into evenings, and sometimes nights in order to meet deadlines. We had to work especial- ly hard to meet our early February 18 deadline to Taylor Publishing Company. But we all had our special feelings about working on the year- book. For senior Paulina Van Pelt, working on the annual was fun, because you get to contribute to the school year. junior Micki Harper enjoyed working on the yearbook because I helped pro- duce it, I put myself into that book. It was also an emo- tional experience for the rest of us. We felt excite- ment when we first got our assignments in August. We felt discouragement and re- jection every time one of our many copy and layouts was handed back to us to re-do. We felt ag- gravation most of the time when we got a club together for a picture and had no photographer, or when we finally had a photographer but no club to photograph. We also felt elation when we finally turned our pages in on time. And we felt relief and, as junior Traci Sallinger said, success when the book arrived. But the greatest feeling was leafing through the pages and seeing our finished product, bring- ing back memories of both struggle and triumph. While most students only gained a book, we gained something more: close friends and good memories.

After the usual hassle of selling ads for each issue was finish- ed, the staff set out to work on the ideas with which they began the year. The staff's main goal was to modernize the paper. This was displayed by the chang- ing of the paper to a more magazine-like publication. One way of accomplishing this was to include more students' names and pictures. Stu- dent opinion polls were taken and each issue featured several students' pictures with their opi- nions on various topics, such as, abortion, drugs, and six-period school days. A second goal was to have better coverage of entertainment around the metroplex, which in- cluded reviews of movies and albums.

And since most yearbook and newspaper staffers weren't capable of taking and developing pictures, they needed photographers. The 10- member photography staff could be seen at club outings, parties, football games, gym- nastics meets, Preston- wood Mall, Hi hland Park, Spring Cree? Park, and kidnapping at 3 a.m. For Audrey Schlette, go- ing to these functions was not fun because she felt out of place, but that's my duty and it comes with the territory. At times, staffers were aggravated at not having prints because photog- raphers had too much to do at one time. They never told us the exact picture they wanted un- til the last minute was one of the problems which senior Mike Holigan had with the jessica Lee checks a chart to find out how long to keep the developer in the tank to develop negatives.

The only problem that senior Erik Karlsson thought was difficult was meeting the staf- fers' deadlines. To complicate matters, the plumbing problems in the darkroom put developing and printing a week behind schedule in October. I felt it was my duty to get the pic- tures to staffers, and I couldn't because I couldn't use the facilities, junior Dan Oliver said. juniors David Dinwiddie and Gary Drake spent many hours in Gary's personal darkroom during this week to accomplish some of their responsibilities.

With over 1,300 cheerleaders in atten- dance, our 11 were chosen as one of the eight best squads. They won three spirit sticks, in- cluding one at overall competition, and re- ceived blue ribbons every night. The squad was also runner up for the award of excellence. The cheerleaders, sponsored by Debi Wiksten, spent countless hours during football season making signs, baking cupcakes and cookies, decorating the gym and locker room, and, of course, perfecting cheers. The girls also boosted player morale by sneaking into the locker room after the team left and surprising them with decorations and homemade goodies when they came in after the game. Needing money to buy butcher paper, paint, and crepe paper for deco- rating, the cheerleaders sponsored the punk dance. The dance was held after the Plano game and the girls made over 5500. After football season the cheerleaders' activity slowed down con- siderably. They did not need to come up with a new and original idea for the next week's pep rally. The only pep rally left to plan for was spring sports. Their attention was then concentrated on supporting the basketball and soccer teams. Obviously, working so closely together devel- oped strong friendships between the girls. Senior cheerleader Stephanie Brown said, We might not even like each other if we hadn't worked so closely. Also, the cheerleaders were dif- ferent from many other organizations in that the girls felt no class com- petition. They were not cheering as juniors and seniors, but as a united squad. Dede McGowan said she tried out for cheerleader because she likes gymnastics, and wanted to feel involved in boosting school spirit. Even though many long hours of hard work were involved, the cheerleaders had a feel- ing of accomplishment at the end of a victorious game, far surpassing any hardships they had en- dured. fBlankenshipj Hands joined, the cheerleaders sing the alma mater after the victorious Duncanville game. fDinwiddieJ Varsity Cheerleaders - Organizations I 121 The IV cheerleaders had a special job of uniting three into one.

They joined for the fun, but found out that work and problems were involved. Starting the year with a major set- back, they were not allowed to use any area of the school campus to paint the run-through signs seen at each foot- ball game due to previous misuse of this privilege. Fortunately, Denise Metcalf's parents allowed the group to bor- row their garage for the bi-weekly painting ses- sions. After football season Mr. and Mrs. Met- calf were treated to din- ner while the squad cleaned the paint- spattered garage. Another frustration the squad encountered was trying to fire-up the students before games. Caravans were a solution, but organization was-a problem. The first caravan scheduled before the Richardson game was successful for the students, yet it did not please the Wranglers who had to wait for the missing sponsor. Once at a game, the Wranglers hassled with balloon sales. This was a hin- drance because they com- peted with the Booster Club's sales of programs, pom-pons and seat cushions. Though they struggled through some hard times, being a Wrangler had its moments. The se- cond caravan of the year proved to be a better suc- cess with about 40 cars forming a train on the way to Mustang - Eagle stadium and a sponsor in the lead. Taking care of the horse, which was the reason Wranglers was formed, gave them a special status in the school. They escorted the football team into the pep rally by pulling the horse with its blaring siren. Also, the squad was allowed to stand on the field in order to tend the horse at the games. Pulling the mustang at each score brought the sound of celebration as it screamed in front of the crowd. Through good times and bad, Wranglers was a way for a group of spirited students to voice their support and en- thusiasm. fCainJ Wranglers - john Rowan, Christie Cain, Karen Habib, Angie Emmett, Denise Metcalf, Natalie Schmidt, Suzanne Ogden.

Little did the audience know that for the five minute per- formance, the girls had been working months ahead in preparation. It all began in May of 1982 when the 55-member line was announced. Because of a new district policy, Lisa Owens, the director, was required to have a 50 girl minimum line, a group larger than she had ever worked with before. For the last two weeks of school, the entire line was in the gym before school, stretching, kick- ing, and preparing for camp in Iune. The five officers at- tended camp the second week in june. After per- forming a jazz routine, the officers received a Home Routine trophy, and Captain Holly Iohnson received a Superstar girl award which recognized her as being one of the best girls attending camp. After the five officers attended camp, the entire line went to Superstar Drill Team Camp the last week in Iune to learn routines which they per- formed throughout the year. The returning seniors did a high kick routine to compete for a trophy. After a week of competing with the other lines attending the camp, the Pacesetters received the Iudges Award, the seniors received the Sweepstakes trophy, the group received a spirit pom for having constant spirit, and Captain Holly Iohnson and Lieutenants Kim Barnett and Monica Staples received Superstar Girls awards. After a brief summer, serious practicing began. The Pacesetters held Summer Drill the last three weeks of summer during which the of- ficers, the returning seniors, and Miss Owens worked with the new girls on marching, stret- ching, kicking, and dancing.

The Pacesetters performed in six pep rallies. In order to pick her 50 girls on the field line, Miss Owens held try- outs on Tuesday after- noons. During try-outs, Miss Owens and the of- ficers watched carefully as the girls each per- formed the two routines for the Friday night show. Girls were cut from the performance if they were not prepared. When football season was over, the Pacesetters learned jazz routines which they performed at two of the basketball games. Along with the fun routines, the girls began practicing for the Miss Texas Drill Team Pageant held Feb. 11 and 12. They performed three routines and won a sweepstakes trophy. Cap- tain Holly Johnson prepared an individual routine, and won the title of Miss Texas Drill Team. Immediately following competition, Miss Owens started working with the girls on their spring show, The Pacesetter Review. She taught the new girls how to tap, worked with the seniors on specialty routines, and helped each squad prepare a routine to per- form. The Review was held April 21 and 22. For the two weeks prior to the show, the girls were at school early, stayed late, and spent their Saturdays practicing. The Pacesetters' last show consisted of dances which shared a central theme of Dancin'. The final routine was a tradi- tional high kick which involved the whole line and the officers.

With 482 points out of a possible 500, the band was 25 points ahead of second place. Win- ning all of my three years at Pearce is something I'll never forget, said senior Kelly Howland. With the win came a sense of pride. Marching in the Cotton Bowl made me feel proud after all our work, sophomore Lisa Pool said. This tradition could never have been con- tinued without the many hours of practice on the parking lot near the ten- nis courts and the four weeks of summer band in August. During these summer rehearsals, the sophomores learned how to march and stand at at- tention. Standing at at- tention was very hard for me, said sophomore Mike Hart. I always wanted to move, and l'd get yelled at. While the sophomores were learn- ing the fundamentals, the juniors and seniors were reviewing their skills under the hot sun. For Howland, The hardest part of summer band is the heat and the sweat and the sore muscles. But summer band was not all work. One week each sophomore was auc- tioned off to be bought by the juniors and seniors in a slave sale. For a week, the slaves had to cater to their master's every whim including dressing up and bringing them cold drinks and lunch. I was dressed up in a pink miniskirt with a ponytail, said Paul Wiesepape, but it really wasn't that bad because everyone else was dressed up, too. But for Mike Pierce it was more embarrassing. I had to wear a green lace night- gown, and the whole football team came by and made comments like 'Hold me back' and 'I think I'm in love,' and some whistled at me. Once school started, the band rehearsed every day before school and Tuesdays after school. For an hour each day they worked on their show, perfecting each detail. During class they worked on the music per- formed in each show making sure it was perfect for Friday night's game. With a lot of work and a little fun, the Mighty Mustang Marching Band continued its winning ways. fWallJ l The Mighty Mustang winning form in the Cotton Marching Band displays its Bowl. fDinwiddieJ 1 Clarinets - front: Leizl Winget, Iill Blankenship, Katy White, Tricia Pierce, Dianna Davis, Laurie Paschal, second: Jennifer Owens, Teresa Hawkins, Debbie Kelt, Cyn- thia Lee, lane Souders, third: Matt 130 I Organizations - Marching Band McNeill, Iim Humphrey, David Katz, David Kencke, Doran Roberts, Iohn Crumpacker, back: Skip Krueger, Rick Carlyle, Mike Golds- tein, Craig Warren, Kris Cummings, Debbie Shepard, Carol Case.

Concert Band - Organizations I 133 Did you ever pass by the band hall fifth period and hear jazz music be- ing played instead of the stiff, traditional marches and concert pieces usual- ly played in the band hall? That up-beat, laid back music was played by the 14-member jazz band under the direction of Tom Bennett. Although they did per- form at the Homecoming Revue, their main pur- pose was to gain ex- perience in the jazz field. They acquired this ex- perience through sight reading, learning about music theory, and doing improvisations. During class, the members got to know each other better while they worked together. In regular band you don't get to know everyone as well as you do in jazz band, said junior trumpet player, Keith Arment. You have some 50 to 60 people in regular band, but only 14 in jazz band so you get to know every person. In addition to making new friends, they also had fun. jazz is a totally different concept than Sophomore Mike Rober other forms of music. It's fun to be able to take this kind of music, add your own personality to it, and then entertain an au- dience, senior sax- ophone playerTim Roberts said. fWallj During class, senior Tim Roberts and sophomore Mike Ruhe perfect their music for the Homecoming Revue. fO1iverJ Relying on their memories, senior Tricia Pierce and junior Sean Iames think about their music for an up- coming performance.

Making this year more nonconformist than us- ual, Michelle Martin, a sophomore, was chosen to participate because of her exceptional playing ability even though the band usually consists on- ly of boys. Sometimes it was embarrassing, but after I got used to the rest of them, I really enjoyed it, Michelle said. I feel kind of honored because there haven't been many girls. But this year could be the last for the band to perform the Budweiser themes for the school. It was recommended that they choose a theme and song more in keeping with the setting. Perhaps a 'fight' theme or tradi- tionally recognized 'spirit' song would be more acceptable. Although the Bud Band changed a little this year, they continued to play a major role in pro- moting school spirit by playing the Budweiser themes.

Bud Band - Organizations I 135 When most students were planning their june trips to the beach to perfect their tans, the 26- member flag corps was preparing to go to camp at East Texas State University to perfect their flag skills. With on- ly 12 returning members and 14 sophomores, of- ficers Kris Cummings, Shelley Irvin, Kathy Kimmins, and Robin King faced a challenge. The new members had to learn to work together and perform as a group with the old members. For two weeks, the of- ficers drilled the corps on their marching technique and fundamental flag work to get them ready for the long, hot, tiring Spinning their days of camp. At camp, the girls put in lengthy, sweltering, sweaty hours each day. As temperatures climbed into the high 90's, they learned new spins and complicated routines to compete with during the week. When their daily sessions were finally over, instead of taking long, steamy showers and lounging around the dorm until lights out, the corps faithfully practiced under the lights in the parking lot. Camp was hectic, and it took a lot of time, but it was all worth it because it brought us closer together and gave us the experience we needed for marching season, said captain Kristi Keller, Rene Wall, Robin King, and Shelly Ir- vin lead the band during the opening song, Folk Song Suite, at the Lake Highlands game. QDinwiddieJ Robin King. After a month of rest and relaxation, the corps worked four hours a day in August until school started. For one week they reviewed the things they learned at camp and prepared for Frank Troyka, a clinitian who came the second week. Mr. Troyka worked with the girls five hours a day polishing their techni- que, teaching them new jazz exercises, and giving them new and different ideas to make their corps stand out from other corps. Once school started, the corps practiced from 7-8:10 a.m. each morning. Because of their early ar- rival, they practiced with half-opened eyes and rollers in their hair. Although they were tired, the girls pushed themselves to strive for perfection in their drills and flag moves. Every Friday night during the half time show they showed off their many hours of prac- tice.

You could feel it as you listened to the positive voices fill the air with the future plans of hopefully earning sweepstakes at UIL con- test. Choir vice president Melinda Amptmann said, This year's choir has more spirit and togethernessf' The choir planned many social activities which made the practice and hard work seem less severe. A cappella choir had many parties, in- cluding an ice cream social to get acquainted with the new soph- omores. And almost every Sunday the choirs would pack into cars and head to Heights Park for an afternoon of football and fun. Mr. Woody Christman even chal- lenged his Wife's Lake Highlands choir to play. Also, after concerts, members went to eat piz- za and socialize. But hard work was as much a part of it as the fun. Early morning rehearsals were necessary but not popular. Never- theless, the A cappella girls were up at school by 7:30 a.m. on Mondays, the guys at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesdays. Not only did the choirs practice hard but they also had the op- tion of joining extra choirs. Formed in Oc- tober the guys' and girls' choirs were open to members of the A cap- pella and junior varsity choirs. These choirs per- formed at the Christmas concert, UIL contest, and Bucanneer Festival. And to be in these extra choirs, singers had to sacrifice yet another morning. Making the All-Region choir was a goal of many members. Tryouts were in October. Of the 18 stu- dent entries, 11 made the All-Region choir. Six made it in the top eight of their sections. The 11 students were Maria Callender, Stephanie Almost every organization had to sell products to raise money. Selling pizza kits was a major fund raiser for the choirs.

The choir also participated in Richardson Solo and Ensemble, and UIL Con- cert and Sight Reading, the most important because it was the only chance the choirs had to compare accom- plishments.

Choir - Organizations f 139 Members onl Anxiety was in the air. Forty nervous A cappella members were trying out for Forte. Each had prepared a pop song to perform in front of judges Mr. Woody Christman and previous Forte members. Former members offered insight by asking what being a part of the group meant to them. After this audi- tion, only 12 made it. Of Forte's many beneficial aspects, per- fecting each singer's stage presence was pro- bably most important. Members achieved this by performing often. Singing a variety of songs, the group enter- tained at churches, Bent Tree Country Club and Medical City. Near Christmas, Forte caroled at several malls, keeping the spirits of the shop- pers high, while learning to sing comfortably in front of an audience. One key to an effective performance was being heard clearly. Expensive sound equipment was needed for every perfor- mance. Forte raised money by holding a garage sale and singing at paid functions. Members didn't mind the hard work involved, however, because each felt that Forte was worth the scarificed time. Chris Smith gained a feeling of accomplishment and the ability to work with others like a fami1y. And because David Sumlin got to sing the type of music he Wanted to sing, he was glad to be able to participate. Mr. Christman said this year's class gave him en- joyment from singing and playing popular music. Forte provided an extra oomph for the select group. It added an im- measurable amount of experience and excite- ment to their year. fMorenoJ 140 l Organizations - Forte Forte - front: David Sumlin, Suzanne Beall, Travis Smith, se- cond: Maria Callender, Steve Angrisano, Melinda Amptmann, julie Burbridge, Mike Shockney, Carl Farris, back: Cherry Lynne Potts, Chris Smith, Terri Green, john Sheroke, Roger Williamson, Kurt Taylor.

With such activities as attending competitions and going out to eat, students who were taking German could learn as much as possible about Germany's culture and people. To do this, the organization started the year by making trips in the fall to Kuby's for lunch. Members also participated in Novem- berfest, a cultural com- petition and festival for area students at Plano Senior High School. At Novemberfest, members such as seniors Amy Wallace and Buddy Acklin, and juniors Chris Kappert and president Donna jones placed in 16 different categories while the organization's soccer team won second place in the sports competition. Sophomore Bjorn Poonen also won first place in the spelling and grammar competitions. To celebrate their ac- complishments, members went out to eat dinner at the Iagerstube restaurant in December and also sang Christmas carols at the foreign language dinner spon- sored by the Spanish Club. And to finish out the year, the organization planned a picnic for the spring and attended another foreign language festival and competition in April. Leading the German Club through all of these activities were three vice presidents, which was a change from past years, since there was a three- way tie for the office. They also had a new sponsor, Sylvia McElroy, who felt that the mixture of all of the organiza- tions' activities this year and the club itself was a great way to broaden the students' awareness of the German culture. It brings all of the students together and allows them to have fun with the language. fChildsD ,, I.. , ,.. 5n...,,--E,--as f.. ae- aff, 1 I it German Club - front: Donna jones, president, Alex Panhans, sophomore vice president, John Rowan, senior vice president, Doug Wallace, junior vice president, se- cond: Sylvia McElroy, sponsor, Dinesh Chandiramani, Chris Kap- pert, Pat Shipman, Amy Wallace, Richard Taylor, Michelle Martin, Punky Nunan, back: Ricardo Mar- tin, Lisa Daly, Paul Kessler, Mark Immel fSchletteJ German Club - Organizations I 145 How can 70 Pearce students revive a dead language?

To organize the occasion, the members of the club cooked Spanish and Mex- ican dishes and sang Spanish Christmas carols for entertainment. And in Ianuary, the club visited the Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth to see the Ribera art exhibit and organized the Valen- tine sale, where they sold both valentines and car- nations for S1 each.

To end the year, and in preparation for next year, the organization held of- ficer elections and had an end-of-the-year banquet. During this banquet, the club installed the new of- ficers, who planned to lead the club through yet another successful year and, in the opinion of Ms. McFarland, get the Spanish students together in a non- academic environment and participate in cultural activities outside of the classroom. fChildsJ Spanish Club - front: Ron Shade - treasurer, Laura Ruf - vice presi- dent, Janice Newbrand - president, David Bair - treasurer, Margie Kneese - secretary, second: Mitch Glantz, Lesley Lurie, Mindy Miller, Randi Shade, Dana Bielefeld, Ann Shao, Traci Sallin er, Steve Freeman, Michele Bilira, Debbie Fowler, Lisa Freeman, third: Ieff Funkhouser, Tracey Laughlin, julie Wagner, Ann Keefe, jennifer Gilliam, Sarah Schuster, Adam Kaplan, LeeAnn Hilgartner, Chester Ong, Randi Pavonyg fourth: Marsha McFarland - sponsor, Lisa Bell, julie Hill, Nina Waxgiiser, Lisa Wo- jtalak, Missy McEl aney, Kristy Smith, Mike Burkett, Dana Lockhart, Jennifer Kerlin, Stacey Michael, Jeanie Rhoda - sponsor, fifth: Kathie Brechbuhler - spon- sor, Brad Beasley, Iody Watkins, Lisa Bady, David Test, Gene Connolly, Gary Crance, Bob Heintzelman, Chris Pommerenin , Howard Taper, back: David I-Foyt, Andrea Friedman, Claire Ellington, Amy Shmock, Suzanne Ogden, Victoria Morris, Chris Grant, Andrea Sobek, Alan Fields Cl-Ioligaril Spanish Club - Organizations I 147 PHS saw something new and completely dif- ferent this year: Whiz Quiz.

President Kim Welsh commented that these students have a lot more freedom here and are shocked by what peo- ple are allowed to do such as the way kids treat their teachers. Although Pearce did not have any foreign students this year, efforts were made to bring them to Pearce. AFS had a bake sale, a slave sale, and key chain sale to help raise money. The president stated that the officers are determined to bring foreign students to Pearce because it is a fan- tastic experience for them to learn from us, and for us to learn from them. With these activities, the AFS was optimistic about bringing foreign students to Pearce and helping these students learn about our culture.

Ad- ditionally, it provided students access to com- puters in order to im- prove their skills. During the meetings, students used the computer time Entering the computer age to play games and do homework.

The club also participated in other activities such as star-gazing and attending the movie 2001: A Space Odessy. Although anyone could join the club, most members seemed to come from the physics classes. For this reason, the club also at- tended the Physics Olympics at NTSU.

As Ms. Elwell said, they were usually going places such as Six Flags, football games, picnics, and pizza. The members liked it because, as Iim McEntegart said, You have friends to talk to. The members, stuck together because they found it impossible to break into the many cli- ques at Pearce. They felt being involved in the Newcomer's Club didn't really involve them in the school.

The Austin school board invited the team to the April state competi- tion held in Austin. As Mrs. Gilbert said, only the top scores are invited. At state, they were scored by a panel of 30 judges on how well they attacked the problem. Team members gained valuable experience from the club.

Upon ar- rival, the new speech and debate teacher, Ierry Cot- tingame, tried to gain more support and recognition for speech and debate. And he suc- ceeded. For the first time in four years a debate class was available at Pearce. Ed Burnham, Speech Club secretary, stated that Mr, Cot- tingame is very good in coaching standard and championship cross ex- amination debate, oratory, and extem- poraneous speaking. And president Pat Ship- man thought that he was a good speech coach and cares about us all. Mr. Cottingame and the Speech Club even made the Richardson Daily News several times this year. Under his coaching, the club attended workshops on public speaking where they learned how to express themselves effectively and clearly and attended various speech tour- naments. At these tour- naments Pat Shipman won first place in oratory at R. L. Turner, Ondria Gerard Won first place in prose at R. L. Turner, and Ed Burnham made the finals in extemporaneous speaking at R. L. Turner and Irving High School. Although an actual debate team did not exist, Ion Zeitler, Randi Shade, and Ed Burnham worked on Douglas debating and made the finals at R. L. Turner in debate. With the help of a new, enthusiastic spon- sor, the members gained valuable skills.

PELE, Pre-Employ- ment Lab Education, was designed for students wishing to work with children. During PELE class time, members worked on making teaching material, such as a flannel board story or a bulletin board, for their class. Each student also had to present a project to their class in the form of a game, an art class, or a music lesson, the only other requirement was that they make a teaching device to leave in the classroom. The money raised from selling fuzzies was used to pay dues to the FHA Association and for a teacher appreciation project for the teachers with whom the students worked. Even though it was un- dignified at times, PELE was a rewarding commit- ment. fBlankenshipJ junior Kathy Humphrey helps a kindergartener at Mo awk elementary with an art project. 1LeeJ Senior Anne Keefe gives hand to Robbie, kindergartener at Bovl Elementary.

Being in- volved in this work! study program allowed students to gain office skills without sacrificing their grades. After put- ting in several hours on the job, they still had time to do homework. The jobs students had were varied. For instance, several members worked at Hewlett Packard. Others, like Christi Parker, had more respon- sibility. She worked at a landscaping company as an office manager. While OEA was help- ing students to prepare for their careers, it also helped to promote their ability to succeed in the competitive world. Dur- ing the spring, while most students were thinking about summer vacation, OEA members were brushing up on their office skills for com- petitions. These students participated in area, state, and national conferences. The categories included events such as account- ing, typing, stenography, and job interviews. Although competing was important, students also had fun. Each year OEA gave an employ- eefemployer banquet. Every spring students in- vited their employers to a semi-formal banquet. In order to finance the banquet, students held a fund-raising project. Each student had a kit and took orders for such things as a two-year planner book and a com- bination window-scra- perfmoney holder. The money raised did not go solely to the banquet, it also helped pay for the conferences. Treasurer Christi Parker summed up the general attitude, OEA is a great club.

The other portion went to the home economics depart- ment where it was used to buy such things as new mlcrowaves. The club was designed to work on leadership development and also to serve the community. In order to participate, students had to be en- rolled in, or have taken, a home economics course.

Sponsored by Mr. Dana henderson, the pro- gram was designed to combine work exper- ience with classroom study. Students worked part time while attending regular academic classes as well as an ICT class. The classroom program provided an understand- Earning ing of the business world as well as specific infor- mation relating to their own jobs. Although the group was small, the students worked together in trying to solve similar job problems. The ICT students worked as clerks and at- tendants in gas stations, as well as working as dental assistants and managers. This was great Mr. Henderson explains to the class how to fill out their tax forms. CHoliganJ experience work experience for students who wished tc continue study in those fields.

If you found what you were looking for, you were probably involved in VOCT, The purpose of VOCT is to be trained in a marketable job skill. Throughout the year, the group was involved in many activities and projects. The most impor- tant was the October leadership conference hosted by Pearce. VOCT was also involved in ser- vice projects such as their Christmas trip to the Buckner's Childrens home. With a group of girls, the students pro- vided gifts, stockings, and a tree with all the trimmings. To raise money, VOCT sold memo boards and had bake sales. After the holidays, VOCT went on a field trip to Southwestern Bell Company. At the end of the year, the club held an employer-employee ban- quet at Canyon Creek Country Club.

Was it all worth this sacrifice? Well, we must have thought so or we wouldn't have put in all the effort. And sacrifice was the measurement for all the ef- fort that we put forth. Morning came early when we gave up much needed rest to arrive at 7:45 a.m. for a make-up test. But make- up tests weren't the only reason both students and teachers came early.

Being able to carry on an intelligent conversation, pass a test, and receive an overall passing grade were the results. Handing our work in on time, getting a good homework grade, and feeling self-confident made our sacrificed time well spent. But the ultimate goal was reached when we were either promoted to the next grade or walked down the aisle to receive our diploma. This was the resulting point for which we had all worked so hard. fCoupe 8: Shieldsj Academics I 165 WY 1 Ns P 1:34. iff 166 X Academics - Honors 8: Advanced Placement 'E i' I 9' .. ? f! I 2 UW s x A step ahead The harder you work now, the easier it will be in college, junior Iay Bender said, and it was the honors and AP students that worked the hardest now so that college would be easiest for them. The honors and advanced place- ment program also helped students who wanted to better prepare themselves for college and improve their SAT and PSAT scores, as Honors English III teacher joye Davis said. Helping students to improve their scores on the PSAT and SAT was the goal of such classes as AP calculus, physics, and history. To do this, these classes placed an em- phasis on independent thinking and going into more depth than a regular class would. Going into depth helped such students as senior Nina Waxgiser, who felt that advanced studies allowed her to know more about my subject and understand it better than if I had taken a regular class.

Also, junior honors English students read a greater variety of novels including Billy Budd and An American Tragedy, and worked to improve the students' self- expression by writing more essays and presenting more oral reports. Although not just any student could get into the Honors! AP pro- gram, the ones who did had various reasons for doing so. Senior Tonya Collins wanted to take honors classes so that she would be prepared for college work and get college credit, and junior Wendy Beckman thought that her regular classes were so easy. But junior Cynthia Lee was suggested to take honors classes and since it sounded like a great opportunity to further my educa- tion, I stayed in them all through high school. Even though any student could be in an honors class if they worked hard enough, all of the classes in the program offered a challenge for which honors students had to have certain qualities in order to do well. Senior Drew Wingard felt that one of the most important qualities was to possess an analytical mind with the ability to handle a lot of infor- mation at one time, and senior Tonya Collins felt that to carry the load of being in an honors class, you have to be ready to make sacrifices. But junior Wendy Beckman had a different opinion: Intelligence really doesn't matter when taking an honors class - it's the effort that you put into it that really counts. QChildsJ Honors 8: Advanced Placement - Academics X 167 From Michelangelo to Shakespeare Playing a big part in learning, the arts department helped students expand their interests in the creative and performing arts. The creative arts started developing art skills in Art 1 by showing students materials and how to use them. As students ad- vanced they went into deep in- volvement by using more of their own imagination for projects. And finally, in Art IV, seniors worked individually on their portfolios for Lee Sadler doodles with ink and brush. fDrakej 168 1 Organizations - Arts 8: Theater Arts one semester. All this preparation got them ready for potential jobs such as commercial artists, designers, production artists, or art gallery curators. A course in art history was also offered for students who weren't artistically inclined but wanted to increase their knowledge of art.

And at some time were those very same friends hobbling around school on crutches? Chances are that you en- countered this strange situation several times during the year. From the crutches and splints, you probably thought there were a lot of clumsy people around. But these apparently clumsy students were all in the Partners PE class. The first semester was a health class where they learned about physical, mental and emotional disabilities. Watching films such as Skyward, Ordinary People and Two of a Kind gave the students the op- portunity to view difficult situa- tions in true-to-life settings. Special guest speakers, who talked about suicide, occupational therapy, and physical activities that may be done with the blind, also added to the interest of the class. Physical disabilities were also simulated throughout the first semester in order to experience the use of crutches, wheelchairs and arm or leg braces. The hardest day for me, said Ellen Harper, was the day I was in a wheelchair. I was aware of side glances and no one made eye con- tact with me because they were afraid of offending me. During second semester the students' knowledge and understanding were put to use. This semester was designed to teach and improve the fundamen- tal skills of most sports. The students who participated in the health class acted as peer tutors for other students who needed in- dividual attention and help in julie Blasingame and Marsha Wright are practicing a cooperation game.

Coach Bob Luedtke, instructor for Partners PE, commented, Partners is a class for students who need individual attention in PE. It is not adapted, yet it is slower in progression so that everyone can get involved. It is im- portant to stress that this is not a handicapped PE class. 'Handicap' is an attitude of 'I can't'.

As the sports medicine ss finished taking care of the t injuries of football season the tidents had to prepare for basket- ll, volleyball and track. The teams had always had stu- mt trainers, yet for the first time ey were enrolled in a class. In- ated by trainer Bob Luedtke, this ss was formed to teach student iners the prevention, care and abilitation of sports-related in- ies. Even though this informa- n would be valuable to many ople, not everyone could take e sports medicine class. A stu- tnt must have been a trainer, completed or enrolled in human anatomy, and obtained approval from Coach Luedtke. Coach Luedtke taught by using more than just lectures. Films on hip prosthetic surgery and knee surgery were shown in order to better explain treatments for in- juries. The class also was visited by speakers such as podiatrist, Dr. Gene Reister, and prosthetic salesman, Ken Cheairs. The speakers offered more than just in- sight into their profession. Through this class the students have gained better understanding of the terminology in sports medicine and in medicine in general, Coach Luedtke said. And because of this class Steve Grizzle felt that, I can go out and know what I'm doing, and gain more respect from players and coaches. But the main benefit that the sports medicine students received was the ability to apply their knowledge to help injured players. Each student was assigned to cer- tain athletic practices and games in which they took care of minor in- juries. Applying the knowledge from class to an actual injury was the best part of the class, senior Darrell Stephens said. And senior lim Chandler remarked, The satisfaction comes from people asking my opinion about an injury outside of practice or games because they you know that you have gained their respect. fCainJ Sports Medicine - Academics I 171 Our ultimate goal was to graduate. But in order to obtain that prized diploma, we had to take required classes. Even though some of us enjoyed studying literature more than studying square roots, we had to take both English and math. And some of us would rather study the causes of World War Il than dissect frogs, but we all had to have history or geography and science. Yet lucki- ly, we were able to take a certain amount of electives, which soon became our saving grace from in- sanity. With these electives, we were able, among other things, to improve our drawing skills in art classes, work on our accents in foreign language classes, and prac- tice our oratory in speech classes. Mostly though, we were free to study what we really wanted. Aside from electives, mandatory classes were looked upon as a burden by some students. Having to run the 12-minute run in PE was a drudgery to most. Others felt they were being tortured by having to do CPR in health class. And a few students felt that hav- ing to study the legislative branch 172 I Academics - Required Classes Gnly a credit away of the government in American Government was boring. And there were the courses that seemed to be a horrible waste of time. Although most seniors got out early and were only required to take English and some of the many senior electives, such as psychology, singles survival, anatomy, and a foreign language, they all had the dreaded task of writing a term paper. On the other hand, the juniors didn't have to write term papers but they usually took more classes than seniors. During this year, they tried to fulfill their health and govern- ment credits and most enriched their math and science skills with Algebra II and chemistry. And the sophomores just had to take re- quired classes such as biology, English, world history or geography, geometry, and PE before they could enjoy the privilege of taking many electives. But whether the class was an elective or mandatory class, boring or fun, we were relieved to have it end and earn one more credit toward our ultimate goal. fCohenJ X Qwwzzfff 'xQ During Mr. Bohart's third period geometry class, sophomore Franki These geometry proofs can't be a hard as they look, thinks junic Ionathan Pleasant.

Yet it wasn't just a crowd of unfamiliar faces. At first it seemed important to us to keep the seniors and juniors separated from the sophomores. But we soon realized those titles didn't make a difference. We were a whole and individuals at the same time. A friend could always be found to talk to, to laugh with, or to discuss the homework we failed to complete. Everything revolved around our friendships. They were focal points of our year.

Starting out in church and school choirs at an early age gave Mike a good beginning. His experience in both choirs led him to more prestigious in- volvement in activities such as future the All-Region choir, the UIL contest, and two separate roles in The Music Man. When I sing I can express my feelings better than when I ta1k, Mike said. Showing his enthusiasm in these extracurricular activities proved that Mike wanted to make singing a part of his future.

Overall, Lisa seemed to have a cool head concerning the PSAT but found the math a bit frustrating. Next year, said Lisa, I will have already completed geometry so the math sec- tion will be a lot easier. This year it was a little confus- ing. My feet fell asleep, Lisa emphasized, but other than that everything was fine. Taking the PSAT as a sophomore was just prac- tice for the junior year when high scores could earn a National Merit Scholarship. fLefevreJ 5 - I t lv I . r...t 55255 3 f t f 1 1 A I ..l.14 i'?f2f'l:f.. if I .

Being able to drive and park legally made it possible for us to get to school earlier so that we could be involved in activities such as Pacesetters and Wranglers, organizations We couldn't participate in as sophomores. We were allowed to leave earlier because we were finally qualified to be involved in work pro- grams. We became leaders through involve- ment in NHS varsity cheerleaders and varsity football. Along with these new privileges we were also able to take such classes as anatomy and American government. All these extra gains made us realize that we played a large role in activities and helped us to prepare for even more responsibilities next year. fChilds 8: Cohen, junior Karen Hodgkinson enjoys her driving privilege. fHoliganJ nf' an .- N- I e i . sais ag :wr Y QE? ii i . 1' is Q Li, Sir' ' l i L! i .1 B31 Q' . , .

With Eighty- four: say no more on the front, we proudly wore our shirts to show everyone that we were juniors. Our reasons for buying shirts were sim- ple. Lori Garza explained that it was to show class spirit. But even though we liked our shirts, we felt the S10 price a little high. Todd Holcomb felt that they could be about S1 cheaper. We soon found out that we had another expense to pay for as juniors. In early October, Iosten's sold class rings. Although some students, like Michelle Coleman, felt that it's a waste of money, other students thought otherwise. Jody Watkins wanted a class ring, to have a memory of my high school years. fCohenJ FN' Q I ofa lf L H R L David Dinwiddie Paul Doherty Michael Dooley Brad Dorsey Thomas Douglass Susan Dowdey Cathy Dox Gary Drake David Droese Kim Dudich Paul Duntley Robyn DuPriest Brian Durbin Michael Dyer Marie Earley Tom Easton Scott Eckensberger Alanna Edmonds Cynthia Edwards William Egan Melanie Eggers Lucille Elishewitz Stephen Embree Liz Engelmann Sara Ensminger Ianna Entzminger Iuniors People X 197 Karen Esler Valarie Estes Ianet Evans Iohn Evans Steve Evans Edward Everheart William Everheart Holly Farley Mark Farre 1 Carl Farris Melissa Faulconer Matt Featherstone Greg Fenstad Melinda Ferguson Pam Ferguson Tom Ferlauto Alan Fields Edy Finfer Heidi Fixler Scott Flovin Angela Forgus Angela Fountain Monica Frazer Linda Frazier Lisa Freeman Steven Freeman Hans Fritsch Iill Galarneau Christa Gallagher Corinne Ga lant Charles Galletti Carolyn Gamell Chris Gann Tara Gannon David Garcia Reynaldo Garcia 198 I People juniors 4... . .M ,tv I N S ' G 1 -.k.

Our junior year in English meant reading American literature from Puritanism to modern works. Although different teachers had their classes read different books from the junior reading list, Mrs. Ioye Davis' honors classes read all 13 books on the list. Yet no matter which boojks the various teachers covered, one thing that was consistent was W Q as e-Ls., , 'Q r 1. f , ' ffftfi. -1. A ' ' I' s ' , that the course was covered chro- nologically.

Most phone conversations, though, quickly got off the subject of homework and onto more interesting things like the latest gossip, recent grades, and current styles at school. DeDe Marishak liked talking on her phone because it gives me something to do and breaks the monotony of homeWork. But phone calls did have some useful pur- poses. Mom was just a call away when we forgot our major English paper. Calling fellow officers to organize a last minute club meeting for the next day was another functional use of the phone. Even though not all phone calls were as crucial as getting homework brought to school or getting a meeting organized, they did have a purpose. They served as a medium between see- ing friends at school and communicating with them after school. fCohenJ 1' XX! ,x3jf'R,.t.: x I 1 - 4 . ! ' j .3 f W 10 5:1 L . ,, 4 up Y lpp. 'T' J- ,!!

Receiving recognition for accomplishments meant we were one step closer and gave us incentive to keep going. While some of these awards were nationally known, others were self-gratifying. Twenty received special recognition as Na- tional Merit Semifinalists deter- mined by their high scores on the PSAT. Some of us received school- wide recognition for outstanding qualities such as grades, leader- ship, personality, or wit. But most of us were out to prove to ourselves that we could achieve our personal goals. Whether this goal was winning an award in the Cultural Arts contest, a speech tournament, or simply being elected as an officer for a club, we proved that we were on our way to success.

Need I say more about the class of '83' imitate. Powderpuff football? Although the game wasn't for the district title, the great amount of tension in the air at the senior girls versus junior girls football game made everyone present feel that this game was for something equally as important. And in a way, it was. This annual Prairie Creek Park event brought out a large crowd - lots of girls to play, and even more guys to watch. What started out as a friendly, Sun- day afternoon game of powderpuff football ended up being a knock down, drag out, hair pulling, face scrat- ching fight between the two classes of girls. Tackles were made and girls were on the ground whether they carried the football or not. The senior girls outnumbered the juniors two to one, but the junior girls wouldn't be discouraged and fought 'til the end. Tradi- tionally the seniors have won, and this year was no excep- tion. The final score was 14-7 seniors, and so the tradition goes on . . . fGibbsJ ,.

To many this question symbolizes a long term commitment. But, to the seniors in Home and Family Living, it was just a part of the learning experience they had by holding imaginary weddings. First, the guys asked the girls to marry them, and from there a complete wedding was planned. Each couple chose the theme for their wedding complete with bridesmaids and groomsmen. They ordered cakes, bought flowers, rented dresses and tuxedos and found a minister. Then with a quick kiss, the couple was officially married for an hour. fGibbsJ Diane Black - Cheerleader, FCA, Track, Fall musical Tim Black - Graduate of 1983 Laura Blankenship - Yearbook staff julie Blasingame - Voile ballco- captain, FCA, Basketball, Student Council Julie Blevins - Graduate of 1983 Virginia Blocker - Pacesetm-s,Art Club, Cheerleader Dena Blumenthal - Senior class secretary, FHA, Student Council, Kazoo Bandits Todd C.

Nancy Clem A swinging senior Tennis was more than just a hobby, pastime, or exercise for senior Allison Chonle. This sport could be a possible career for her. Playing for eight years, Allison has earned much recognition. She was invited to, and attended, a national tourna- ment and has won many state open tournaments. Although she enjoyed her tennis, there was always a lot she had to give up, due to the practice time in- volved. But all the long hours proved rewarding when she made plans to continue playing for the SMU team. She spent many sum- mers at camps and training, and she and her family spent many out-of-school vacations at out-of- town tournaments.

But if he wanted to catch up on the latest gossip, have a mid- morning snack, or just play games, a senior would find that he had found the right place. This original Pearce idea cannot be found in any of the other local high schools, and Ms. Burrows, the teacher in charge, could probably tell a person why. She calmly did her arts and crafts while paper flew overhead, tables were knocked around, and carry out pizzas were brought in, seniors were allowed to have a blast.

As the only sophomore on the varsity team, Kelly was challenged from the start, and all of the hard work really paid off. He was chosen as a member of the Parade All-American Soccer Team, and was offered a four- year scholarship to Duke University. Kelly has played soccer since the age of six, and before he came to Pearce he was the youngest member of the club team - the Titans. As a member of the team, Kelly traveled to Mexico, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Canada and various other places to play in tournaments. But because a player is not allowed to play on a club team and a high school team at the same time, Kelly had to chose between the Titans and the Pearce team. He chose to stay at Pearce as a fullback. I'm really glad that 16m playing for Pearce. With two games a week, it's a real challenge both physically and mentally, but then again - the challenge is the best part of the game.

Tom MCM, Plowing through Christmas A Christmas ski trip was planned in September by the football coaches and headed up by Coach Tally, who was worried about finding 12 students to sign up. To his surprise, however, 90 students signed up to go. Having a week of fun skiing in Crested Butte, Colorado, and being with their friends for their last Christmas vacation at home was an opportunity these 90 students, mostly seniors, couldn't pass up. As the group finally left Pearce's parking lot at 7 p.m. Friday night, Dec. 17, everyone knew that the trip was going to be a suc- cess. Waiting for the bus to pick them up, the students took pictures, talked about their skiing experiences, and made big plans for when they finally got to the slopes. Even though the bus trip was long, it made the trip even better because everyone got more and more excited, said Iacki Conklin. By the time the buses pulled into the con- dominiums 17 hours after they left, everyone was ready to unpack and to get out and play in the snow. The following morning, no one even thought of sleeping in. The entire group was out, decked in their best skiing attire, with their lift tickets around their necks and their ski equipment in their hands, and were heading across the street towards the slopes. Many chose to take a half-day ski lesson, while others tackled the mountain on their own. The group was in Colorado skiing until Dec. 23, and everyone who went had fun. As senior Ken Masterson said, I had a great time, but I wish they would have thought of doing this a long time ago. Having a week of fun with your friends and getting to watch Coach Densmore ski is something everyone should get to do. fGibbsJ Aw, says David Ciszewski as he falls while skiing in Crested Butte, I thought I could do better than this. fGibbsJ The coaches' ski trip was in Crested Butte, Colorado, fGibbsJ Phillip Surratt' - Golf, Mu Alpha Theta SICVEII Talib - Pre-law Club, Spanish Club Meredith Taylor - Pacesetter, NHS vice president, Latin Club historian, MIP Richard Taylor - Orchestra president, German Club, Track, Cross country, Student Council Donald Teller - Graduate of 1983 Mary E.

DanaSoble It was Halloween night, when anything could happen, and the seniors were ready for more than just a night of handing out goodies to the ghosts, goblins, and witches roaming the neighborhood. The class officers thought and came up with an idea that would benefit the class funds as well as provide fun for the students - a masquerade party. The party was held at Heidi Hutzell's house and no one was allowed in without a costume. A S3 door charge was asked to pay for prizes which were given to best and most original costumes, rented movies, hoochie punch, hot dogs and marshmallows and the band, The Source, which provided the entertainment. The party lasted until the bewit- ching hour of 12:30 when all of the ghosts, monsters, and other characters once again became seniors having a fun time together. CGibbsJ Senior spook At the Halloween party, Richard Moore, Greg Stringham, and Mike Haigh were a few of the people who came up with original costume ideas.

The senior slide show, held in April, was a long- time Pearce tradition which brought out a large crowd of seniors to reminisce about three years at Pearce. To get the show together, the class officers chose 20 seniors to make up the com- mittee. The group paired up and Getting the total picture each picked a song, then found slides to go with their songs. Several organizational meetings were held, and hours of gather- ing pictures and changing them into slides went into putting on the slide show. Watching the slides and listening to the songs really meant a lot to the seniors. They were reminded of their close friends, their special moments, and all of the fun they had. After the show, the slides were all locked up in a safety deposit box to be kept until the class' five-year reunion. fGibbsJ Taking pictures for the senior slide show, Karen Klein sees the football game against Richardson from a close-up view.

The class of 1983, and what a classy group of seniors they were. This class set out to achieve what no other class before had achieved. It was the class who set new traditions such as the guy! girl kazoo bandits and the senior review, and kept up with the old ones, like Chandelle and Prom. When faced with the rule of no daytime assemblies, these seniors overcame it and made the nightime assemblies such as the senior slide show and the senior review even more successful. They were the group who de- cided to come up with some new fund raisers which could involve the whole class: two progressive dinners, an air guitar contest, and the Mime Over Matter show. It was the class of '83 who de- cided to make the most of their last year home, and spend it together in everything from the Halloween and New Year's Eve parties to a class ski trip in the spring, ot just another senior class from studying together at night to playing football in the park on Sunday afternoons. These seniors had a never- ending Mustang spirit. They won the homecoming hall with style and went bananas at all of the football games and pep rallies. They had a winning attitude as shown by individuals who won honors in everything from the largest group of National Merit Scholarship finalists in the district to achieveing individual recogni- tion in band, choir, drama, drill team, football, swimming, and track. All in all, it was a great year for the class of '83 and the seniors could be proud of their last year at Pearce. Never again will there be another class quite like the class of '83, CC-ibbsj After the pep rally, Allison Wiggins and Mark Dewitt talk. fSilvermanj 256 I People - Seniors 11 ' V - 'wi Nancy Powell makes an importa catch at the powderpuff footbal gan' fLeeJ To show her Mustang Spirit Ali Wolfe decorates her car before the for ball game.

The final paper had been thrown and we watched it drift slowly to the ground. The sound of the janitor's mop softly shuffling papers along contrasted sharply to the slam of the last locker as it echoed through the halls. These were the final sounds as we walked for the last time out the doors of Pearce. But we knew we would see these halls again.

211, 213 Index - Closing I 269 Supporting the cause Cuddly warm fuzzies, tempting baked goods, and tantalizing carnations tempted students the first week. But throughout the year, students also found themselves buying new and novel things to pro- mote school spirit. Students bought such items as key chains from the Spanish club bumper stickers from the sophomores and calen- dars from the Pacesetters. A new addition to the never-ending list of fun- draisers were the Pacesetter calendars. Each girl was given two weeks and asked to sell 15 calendars for 953.75 each. Although not all the calendars were sold 352,200 was raised. Iunior Pacesetter Karen Majors said that it Qsellingj wasn't too bad because people bought them. This money went to buying a video recorder to film the girls during practice and games. Also, new addi- tions to their uniforms and extra costumes' for pep rallies and Pacesetter Review were purchased. The mothers f the Pacesetters also got together and had a bazaar at which they sold crafts to raise money for the girls. Necessary money was made from all the fundraisers both new and old because the products were attractive and useful.

I have to be at work in five minutes! These words were often heard in the halls as students rushed to their after school jobs. It was amazing how many students came to school, participated in various activities, and still held a part-time job. The jobs were often not the most glamorous, but at least the money put gas in the car. Students mowed lawns, took orders at dry cleaners, sold at department stores, and and pumped gas at gas sta- tions. Prestonwood, Valley View, and Collin Creek malls were close and offered work- ing students everything from making hamburgers to selling designer clothes. Several students found jobs in super- markets like Tom Thumb and Skaggs. As always, fast food places provided jobs. Many served hamburgers and french fries at Burger King, McDonald's, lack-in-the-Box, and Wendy's. Most students worked because they needed the Help Wanted money. In this day of infla- tion, it was common for students to buy their own clothes and cars, to earn their own spending money, or even to pay for college tutition. The number of hours a stu- dent worked varied depen- ding upon why they needed the money. This work week may have included two or three days after school, or everyday after school plus Saturday or Sunday. Students earned from 53.35 per hour Qwhich was minimum wagej to whatever they could negotiate. This ad- ded up to a lot of gas, clothes, and spending money. It also gave some students the op- portunity to open a checking or savings account. By juggling both school and work schedules, students were able to find and keep good paying jobs. This not on- ly gzge great work experience but also gave a feeling of in- dependence to the students who made their own money. fBlankenship, Moreno, 8: Welchj Ads Closing f 277 Sellrng oneself Selling advertisements was the life line to making money for the Pacesetter Revue foot- ball basketball and baseball teams the Pony Express and the Mustang 83 yearbook. Trying to convince the neighborhood Pizza Inn or the local floral shop into buying an ad could be a major task ranging press to the full page ad of S175 of the football program. Because of the new football calendar the competition for ads between organizations in- creased. For example when the Mustang 83 yearbook staff went into Carmine s to get an ad the football players had beaten them to it. But once the accomplishment of selling an ad was complete the problems did not stop The struggle to satisfy the customer to get the right ad for the client and of course to convince former customers to advertise again was often a major problem Although complications arose for some organizations such as the Pony Express and sports teams had no trouble According to Booster Club president Ierry Wilson they made approximately S17 000 selling ads Even though lt was easy for sports teams to sell ads there were a lot of problems and hassels one could get involved in but it was a necessary and tedious task fCa1n 8: Landau! ll NEIGHBORHOOD MIME J Douglas 233-3960 278 l Closing-Ads MAGGIE 'N ME Personalized Gifts Campbell and Colt 7615 Campbell Road Dallas Texas 75248 248 8444 Margaret K o vac Molly Helllng from a S12 ad in the Ponyi Ex- the Mustang '83 yearbook, the THE ONE STOP PRINT SHOP FROM IDEA Y A X CALL TODAY TO THE X V FUR QUQTEv PRINTED PIECE 9 DALLAS GRAPHICS ART PHOTOGRAPHY TYPESETTING PRINTING 6090 CAMPBELL RD 4123 DALLAS TEXAS 75248 plmm CAN T SEE QXHEI REDGE 193' FAQTURV YOURSELF?

Iust like a cherry to a sundae, prom, held at the Westin in the new Galleria on May 27, topped off the year for the seniors. As ear- ly as April, guys were looking around to get an idea of who they would ask to this special occasion. And girls searched frantically to find the perfect dress that no one else would be wearing. But even though excitement and anticipa- tion filled the air, the seniors still had to worry about being exempt or taking their last finals even though their senioritis was getting the best of them. 1 As senioritis closed in on the seniors, the sophomores' and juniors' tension was building toward their final exam week. But a little of this tension was released when, as the seniors were released . 1-if Extra points on May 27, they felt instan- taneously promoted. Yet on May 30, the new seniors and juniors felt a little uneasy as they walked through the quiet, sparsely populated halls - once crowded with rowdy seniors. But feeling this new sense of overnight maturity, they felt a bit more con- fident as dead week started, with final exams just around the corner. Like an A on a chemistry test, prom, graduation, promotion, and open campus were extra points that topped off our year.

As we looked to the future, a moun- tain of new goals loomed in front of us. Iust as seniors had been pro- moted out into the real world, juniors and sophomores had been promoted to the next grade. And thoughts turned to setting a high class rank and earning enough credits to graduate. i But we didn't look forward until we looked back. Sophomores, rookies to the hi h school scene, rememberd a totaiy new environ- ment and those upperclassmen teasing them. Juniors, feeling a lit- tle more comfortable, recalled hours spent on the phone working on homework with friends and be- ing able to, at last, enjoy some of the privileges given only to juniors and seniors. Yet to seniors Pearce wasn't only a few memories, it held a special part of our lives. Though we all remembered special friends, to seniors, most of these friends would only be wheels in the parking lot as some rowdy senior rushed home after third period. We thouglff? we smelled the formaldehyde that filled the upstairs science hall, the spaghetti that single survival students made, and the damp, mustiness of the school on rainy days. And we remembered the warm hugs of friends when we ex- changed homecoming gifts, the smile of encouragement from our teacher as we walked into a dreaded exam, or just a simple whispered good luck from a friend ue .I memories in a few short months. The laughter of friends had died away, and once again, the halls were silent. But in the distance, we seemed to hear the roar of the crowd at a football game, a chant so loud that it shook the gym at a pep rally, and the screech of Making passing grades and earning enough credits is a constant chore especially for sophomores and juniors. Sophomore Kelly Moreno looks over her final report card and determines what required courses she will take next year. lHoliganJ When picking up flowers for a special evening, junior John Hailes Watches as the florist carefully puts his corsage in- to a box. CSchlettel as we went to apply for a job or try out for a role in the musical. But we were quickly snapped out of our daze as reality took hold and we thought of the goals that we had to strive for in the future. After reaching certain goals we established at the first of the year, it was time to, once again, set new goals. The process of striving for and obtaining goals would start once more. It was a process that we followed throughout our lives this far and that we would rely on later. Goals were always the unreachable points in our lives. fCoupe 8: Shieldsj WZ' Closing I 287 Being editor was a goal I set for myself. This year, I had the opportunity to fulfill my goal. However, I couldn't have carried out such a large and demanding job without the help of my co-editor, Suzanne Coupe. To her, I owe much thanks. She made the copy worth reading. With questions and minor problems, advisor Miss Kathy Dove also aided in every way possible. While backing all my decisions and giving support, she answered staff members' questions when I could not. But this book couldn't have been put together without the work and dedication of the 30 member staff Qwhich included photographersj. They spent extra hours working on layouts, copy, and pictures. Thanks, to a staff which I am proud of. While the staff worked, Taylor Publishing Company printed the pages. And Acie Mitchell, our Taylor representative, helped with questions on camex and brown-lines Cmock-up pagesj. Since pictures took up most of the space, I feel it's necessary to thank Bob Hurt Photography and the Dallas Morning News. Also, thanks to senior Shelley Meyers for a job well-done on the calligraphy throughout the book. In addition, my parents deserve a special thanks for listen- ing to my complaints and sharing my joys. Aside from the hassles and pressures placed upon me this year, I've thoroughly enjoyed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And I hope each student has as much pride in this book as I do. Sincerely, , Deborah Shields Mustang '83 Editor The list of people I would like to thank goes on and on, but because of the limited amount of space, some will unfortunately have to go unmentioned. First, I would like to thank my patient friends who put up with me on those last final deadline days. Next, thanks is owed to my parents who put up with my late hours of grading copy and my hectic pace of running from home to school for early morning yearbook work ses- sions and running from school to home so I could talk with them for a few seconds before I started my homework. We definitely couldn't have put out a book without a hard working staff. I owe unsurpassable thanks to a staff that has pulled through a hard year and done a fantastic job - I can't ever thank you enough. Also, Without the help of Ms. Kathy Dove, my saving grace, I couldn't have started this book, much less finished it. But the person to whom I owe the greatest thanks is my co-editor Deborah Shields. Throughout my hectic academic and extracurricular schedule, she understood and always worked around me, I can never repay her for this. She and I worked as a team for over a year on this book and throughout this time we became friends who laughed, cried, complained, and stayed up late together. I will always be indebted to her. With everyone's help, encouragement, and patience, I have helped put together a book of which I am ex- tremely proud. I hope that when you look back in years to come, this book will conjure up fond memories.
