He was awarded the Wayne Broadwell Bowler of the Year Award. His average is a 220, but he has scored several 300's outside of league play. These honors, among many others, belong to Robert Walters. The shelves and walls of his room are covered with 22 trophies, 5 medals and over 20 patches. For eight years he has been dedicated to bowling. lt costs a lot to get started, he explained. However, to cushion the cost, he worked at Nor- thwest Bowl for four years and Spring Branch Bowl for one year. Robert has managed, quite successfully, to keep his ball out of the gutter at many tournaments. l've placed sixth in a Pro-Am tourney in which you bowl with the pros against 250 others in my class. Also, l've placed 12th in doubles in the state tourney at Corpus Christi. In addition to these honors, he stated. My proudest moment was bowling a 290 in the Gulf Coast Traveling Classic League. Lisa Franzen, a pitcher for the Falcons, fNorth West Athletic Associationj has known the taste of defeat only once. For the seven years she has played softball, she has made the All-Stars every year, ex- cept for the year she broke her wrist. ln addition, she has been a member of several first place teams. Her Dad was the spark that got her to start playing. But when l first started playing, she remembered, he thought there was no hope for V Concert-veteran Andy Tanguay.

Lisa prac- tices two or three times a week, from around 6:00 until 8:00 pm. She has games two times a week. Extra activities include tournaments, Which challenge your team to the max, she stated. lt shows how good a team you are. ln summation, she added, It is a team sport which requires a team effort. Hsoccer is the fastest growing sport in America, stated Goalie, Bob Martin. Bob is a veteran of soccer and has dedicated himself to it for the past eight years. He practices three times a week with the Tysa West Club for an average of 45 minutes to two hours. Shooting, stretching, juggl- ing and dribbling are a major part of these practices. His ambition pays off because in one game, where Bob played center forward, he scored six goals, including a full volley shot for a goal and a corner kick goal. Soccer is indeed a difficult sport to master, Bob explained, Because you are always running and can only use your feet. Van Halen, Journey, Black Sabbath, The Cars, Foreigner, ACDC, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are just a few of the concerts that rock-veteran Andy Tanguay has gone to this year. Andy's personal favorite was the Ozzie show. I remember the castle stage set up for the Ozzie concert, he said, They spent a lot of money on the stage show. I Andy revealed his all-time favorite concert as being, Rush - they played great in concert! Student Life -25

Sparetime Sports HI'Iey Tony, asked John, Do you want to lift at Samson's today? For the past year, Tony Herold has heard this question from John Jurovic an average of three times a week. Tony and John pump an average of ZV2 to 3V2 hours at each work-out. Pumping iron, for Tony Herold, means benchpressing 255 pounds, curling 135 pounds, and squatting 305 pounds. Such bodybuilding gyms as Samson's are preferred by many weight lifters. Mike Merlino explained, We all have home gyms, but when you work out with friends they help you out and encourage you. However, the guys had their own opinions about women bodybuilders. I hate it! Tony Herold exclaimed, Muscle doesn't look good on them. John Jurovic compromised, It's all right for them to lift, but not to the point where they get big. Women bodybuilding has become a fast growing sport with many girls, such as Michele Woodham, who explained, You can choose to shape and discipline your own body. Tracy Leland has her own motives for working out, I want to get my muscles toned so I can be stronger for the swim team next year. Many girls, such as Christine Carpenter and Michele Woodham hope to compete in bodybuilding. This requires a one to two hour practice, three to four times a week. They work on such activities as benchpress, squat, curls, and flys. You have to make yourself do it, said Tracy Leland, Because sometimes it really hurts. But the advantage is that you can work on separate muscles rather than a lot of muscles at one time. Often, women bodybuilders have been looked down upon. However, Michele Woodham argues, lt is not masculine. They're probably in bet- ter shape and looks than any other women. Many of the girls have been laughed at by guys. They just don't want any girl to be able to do what they do, or more, explained Tracy Leland, They don't want any girl to be strong or just as strong as them. I get quite a few wisecracks, said Christine Carpenter, I feel they just have narrow minds. Tracy Leland summed up bodybuilding best, Even though it hurts, I know it's good for me. Three years ago, Stephanie Cogbill obtained what had long been a childhood dream of hers: a horse. I have loved horses ever since I was little. lraised my pony, 'Mighty Bridget GG' from a YearIing, Stephanie said proudly. She began training for competition with Depth Charge, a thoroughbred. She competed in English Equestrian and had obtained three ribbons, even though she had been riding for only three months. Along with the glory, horseback riding has its downfalls. Stephanie explained, It's hard work and very expensive. An average day of visiting her horse includes feeding, grooming, riding for three or four hours, washing her down, then cleaning out the stall. All this work is worth the effort for, explained Stephanie, Horseback riding is peaceful, quiet and a great feeling. 24 - Student Life V Nichele Woodham pumps iron. lv' f 1' I juli' !3,f H41-2,.e.1+ fl -...-f A Robert Walters displays his many awards for bowling

And with a total of 350,300 in scholarships is Meike Studeman. A hum ran through the audience and then came the rousing applause worthy of such accomplishment. Meike, who plans to attend Rice University, also received the Accoun- ting I Award and Third Place in the LllL Spelling Contest. Most colleges take grades, class rank, and SAT scores into consideration more than anything else. They also look at par- ticipation in clubs and activities, said Meike. Fifty-eight special senior awards including S342,000 in scholarships were awarded this year, beamed Senior Counselor Mrs. LaVeIIe Shelton. Also ranking high in scholarship awards were Jerry Mak, with a 535,000 offer from the Navy, and Phyllis Chang who received S33,000 in scholarships. Seniors were not the only ones to receive awards, though. A total of 260 academic awards were given in every subject area to students in every grade. Student Life 'And the winner is' Mrs. Shelton explained, Students are recognized for outstand- ing academic accomplishments in inter and intra-school competition. One of the most coveted awards is the Keystone Award, honor- ing the outstanding senior boy and girl for four years of ac- complishment. The lucky students were Maureen Lassonde and Steve Toon. lt was extremely difficult to choose this year because the com- petitionuwas so high, smiled Mrs. Shelton. The requirements for this award are especially stiff, as the students are judged on their scholastic record, school activities, an athletic or academicvletter, and outside activities. Steve Toon remembered, lt never entered my mind that l would even be considered for the Keystone Award, much less receive it. Nevertheless, l was honored to be able to stand on the stage next to Maureen and listen to the Keystone representative talk, It almost made high school worth trouble!
