Jourdanton High School - Chief Yearbook (Jourdanton, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1972 volume:

•• % In a time when the world moved uncertainly and the future of each of us was still undetermined, we, the students of Jourdanton High School, came, in eagerness and innocence. Here we entered, we reached out,we grew, and we extended our interests and our lives. We have reached out in our growth to touch our surroundings, to make a contribution. In this growth and extension, we were really ... During a time when most of the world has fallen into a trend of each doing his own thing, the students of Jourdanton High School have been no exception, as each of us has reached out, trying to find peace of mind, reason for being, and fulfillment. We have seen President Nixon journey to China in an effort to bridge the communication gap between the two countries. We have also been faced with communication gaps be- tween student and student, student and teacher, student and parent, and student and world. While we have often fallen short of our own expectations, yet we have grown as individuals. Whether our own thing has been working with a group of people in a joint effort or a very personal, private thought that we have locked deep within our own mind, each of us has reached out in an effort to communicate to the others in the world. Understanding ourselves and the other people in the world, and communicating with others has been of great concern to us. This has been part of our thing. 7 In a world of over-organization, we have seen many organizations wither and die, as individuals reached out in an effort to do his own thing. We have witnessed a de- terioration in Texas politics, as high state officials have been convicted of illegal acts. We have seen the United Nations fall further into oblivion. We have watched as courts throughout the land have made decisions that have made history. We have seen schools closed because of integration problems and we have seen massive numbers of students in other areas being bused many miles to school in an effort to provide equal opportun- ity for every American student to do his own thing. Through all of this, we have kept faith and have continued to search for our own identities through active participation in various organizations. Whether we have found ourselves in music activities, build- ing a community Christmas tree, working on the annual, or just believing that pigs are beautiful, each of us has found an organization that has helped us to extend our- selves and do our own thing. 4 In a year when the United States came away from the Winter Olympics in Sap- poro, Japan, with seven medals and Fidel Castro watched the first U.S. - Cuba volley- ball match in more than a decade many of us found that we could do our own thing through sports. In the midst of a sports world burdened with lawsuits and legal entan- glements, with Curt Flood suing major league baseball, Marquette University suing professional basketball and Duane Thomas quarrelling with the Dallas Cowboys, in our own small ways we have felt the joys of victory and the sorrows of defeat. While the Cowboys were winning the Super Bowl, and University of Texas was winning the Southwest Conference football and basketball titles, we had to be content knowing that we had competed, had given our all, and would be back next year. Whether our thing was doing the ordinary, doing the unusual, plotting new methods, arguing a point, or just spectating, we have used sports as a tool through which we each did his own thing. 6 7 Here we have the student body and faculty, who, while doing their own thing together, make up Jourdanton High School. And as you pass through this yearbook re- member that although it may be divided into different sections, we are all unified un- der one cover.

We, the staff of the 1972 Chief, wish to dedicate this year's edition to a wonderful friend and one of the best teachers on the Jourdanton High School faculty, Mr. Robert Chaney. Mr. Chaney not only has given generously of his time and abilities teaching English, speech, and drama, but he has been an indispensable asset to almost all extracurricular activities at our school. He was the driving force behind forming the dynamic new Drama Club, through which students have come to know him well. He has given endless hours of his time, along with his expert knowl- edge, to directing both class plays and Drama Club plays, through which he has gained the respect of the students, who have grown to love him. He has been both unselfish and understanding through all of our efforts. Mr. Chaney has proved to be a fantastic teacher, a valuable asset to the faculty, and a friend to every student at J.H.S. He has not only done a great deal to prepare us for college, but a great deal to prepare us for life in general. His warm-hearted friendliness and sense of humor has endeared him to the students of Jourdanton High School. It is with sincere admiration that we dedicate this book of memories to a per- son that we feel more than deserves it - Mr. Robert Chaney. FACULTY AND AD UIMQIJZATION The members of the administration and faculty vary in many aspects but are joined by the common bond of interest in and concern for the students of the Jour- danton Schools. These people vary greatly in size and appearance, just as they vary in personal preferences. Each has ideals and interests that have been molded by unique character traits and individual experiences. Their views on all aspects of life are also individual and private, and vary from the very liberal to the very conservative. The teaching methods and degrees of ability vary, along with a vari- ance in educational backgrounds. These people, how- ever, are bound together by the common goal of open- ing doors of knowledge and helping the students prepare themselves to become useful citizens in the world of tomorrow. For this, we are grateful. 15 CCJ-fOOL BOARD Jerome Domak President Elo Ahrens, Secretary Tommy Lange Dick Prassel Austin Teutsch Billy Webb Lloyd West AD UINfCTRATTON OPERIPJTENJDENT WVJJfiM J.

For many, this has been the only school ever attended and we have grown together in friendship and warmth. This feeling of friendship has been extended to and adopted by those who have joined our class during these twelve years. As we leave the sanctuary of the school to begin our adult life, we take with us many treasured memories of individual accomplishments and triumphs. We may not be a class that will be remembered for its scholastic or physical accomplishments, but we will always be remembered for our quest to do our own thing.

In our first year as upperclassmen, we have been almost overwhelmed by the additional respon- sibilities and pressures placed upon us. These responsibilities and pressures have been financial, academic, and extracurricular, and we have met them head-on, accepting the fact that we have made mistakes. We have always been a class that participates, and this year has been no exception. We have tried to maintain open minds and meet our prob- lems straightforwardly. We have given the Seniors a banquet to be proud of. We have also known success and enjoyed the pride and pleasure of presenting a good performance for our junior play. We have received our senior rings with mixed emotions because we know that even though they mark the beginning of an exciting new year, they mark the end to a special time in our lives. 35 Whistle while you work.

GEORGE McALLISTER As sophomores, we are not the oldest or the youngest. We are neither experi- enced or inexperienced. We are the middle child of high school, yet we won the twenty-five dollar prize and the distinction of being the loudest. We know more about school and are not the same green freshmen we were last year, yet we re- alize that we have much to learn. We are buried in extra-curricular activities and studies, but we are not overwhelmed or discouraged by the demands made upon us. We are a class of popular students, as the school elections revealed. We also are the best interior decoratois, if signs for the halls are a yardstick for judging. Most of us have blossomed into young men and young women, and are enjoying the pleasure of that. We have learned that there is a time for work and a time for play. In this in-between time of our lives, we fifty sopho- mores can only say that we are here. €OPRO UORE£ 41 42 Jeff Crabb Terri Davidson Paula De Leon Armando Delgado Rita Delgado David Dominguez Nellie Douglas Ann Dubose Linda Garza Benny Gomez Yolonda Gonzales Darlene Grier Patty Holmes Patricia Jaksik Laurie Lange Joe Lopez Marci Mahoney James McCullough Professor Poenisch!!!

We have enjoyed having the advantages of being in high school, yet we have clung to the security of being excused for so many of our mistakes because we are freshmen. We have en- joyed the new-found freedom of being able to leave the campus at lunch. We have eagerly awaited the day when we could legally drive, a milestone that many of us have reached this year. We have basked in the radiance of the new status given us by both Junior High students and teachers. We have eagerly accepted the opportunity to participate in many new organizations, to go more places and to pick new friends. We have lived every moment to the fullest and have been proud to be freshmen. 47 Rembrandt, Picasso, and Anastacio!

People become favorites because of many different reasons. One can be a favorite of a class, or an organization, of a special interest group, or of an ideal. Some of the selections are made because of traits inherited, while others are selected because they have worked at developing some trait or characteristic. In any case, all of the favorites are never recognized, and some people have none of their favorites recognized, but these featured in this annual represent the selections made by the majority for this year. Many of these people could well be more than one favorite, while many un-named individuals could be any one of the favorites. We think that the student body this year has made its selections wisely and devote this section to those individuals who have been chosen by their class- mates as favorities. This shows another facet of doing our own thing. JUNIOR, CLACC WORJTEO QflMD JENK6 y • .: NfW A WB mmm 1 ■r'.V •••.[«: v.J-' k MV ACnvmes Although we all know that the search of knowledge is the primary purpose of school, the activities in which we participate help to broaden and educate us in a different way, allowing us to enjoy doing our own thing. The homecoming activities give us an opportunity to see old friends and exchange ideas. The Junior-Senior Ban- quet teaches the Juniors to work together and put out a great amount of effort in a limited amount of time. It also'teaches the Seniors to be grateful, because they get to enjoy a good meal and entertainment and they can really appreciate the effort put into the banquet. The class plays give the Thespians of our classes a chance to display their talents. They also give us a chance to work together, learn make-up pro- cedures, and learn responsibility to one another. The UIL contests offer each student a chance to compete either individually or on a team in various events. Then the county awards gives recognition to students who have excelled on a local basis. Each of these activities gives the student a chance to pur- sue his special goal, or do his own thing.

The Juniors built props, painted murals, and strung crepe paper to convert the cafeteria into a planta- tion scene from the old south, for the night of May 13, 1972. Final touches were added by artificial grass, garden furniture and a fountain. Mr. Lester Wilke, Bill Stroman, and Bejie Ulcak put their heads together in the construction of a gazebo. Representing the Senior Class in reading the will were Joey Riatek, Gloria Salazar, Kathy Webb, and Mike Mahoney. And then there was the cleaning up and removal of the debris. Here Vickie Bacon, Julia Ortiz, and Betty Schorsch help dismantle the gazebo. Far left: The hall entrance converted to a river walk across a small stream.

One of the plays was a light drama and the other two were comedies. Although the members of the cast are usually loud, Mr. Chaney thought that they proved to be unusually soft-spoken on stage. The plays were rated G but the action back-stage should have been rated X. Latex make-up base was used for the firsttime. The cast and crew were also entertained by the arrival of Santa and his parade just before curtain time. So many of the actors were sick that illness almost cancelled the performance, but the old addage The Show Must Go On was followed and Pete took an occasional break from his make-up job to make a jaunt to the restroom to throw up. We con- tend that it was not the plays that made everyone.sick, but a virus that almost kept us from doing our own thing. 77 Bove AND GHOULS TOGETHER.

Ghostly make-up and cos- tumes were well received by the elemen- tary students during the afternoon perform- ance and the adults during the evening per- formance. Not only was the play a dra- matic success, but also a financial success. We enjoyed the fellowship of putting the play together and especially the fun of shrieks and tiger's milk? The cast party afterwards was as successful as the pre- sentation, although the El Comedor will never be the same. For that matter, neither will we, as we struck a successful vein while doing our own thing. Frau Hubschimidt claims her lost mate, the post master turned grandfather clock.

We not only get to be with people who share interests or aims, but we learn leadership, responsibility, and skills. Many of us have tried many differ- ent organizations, as we have searched for our identity or our thing, while others of us have specialized only in one organization. A few of us have even found our thing out- side of these organizations. Many of us have not only taken an active part in local organizations, but have also taken an active part in area and state organizations. Of these organizations, we can only say that they have served us only as well as we have served them. Some of us learned J ournalism skills in working with the paper and annual. Others have learned trade skills in FFA and FHA. Musical skills have been improved through choir and band. Leadership and ”fel- lowship have been improved in many of the other organizations. Because of the variety of organizations, each of us has found a group with which we could do our own thing. 85 WJURB H0MEM4KEB6 SEfJfOf JUNfOR, GROUP BACK ROW: Betty Schorsch, Ninta Adame, Rachel McAllister, and Cathy Self.

These students join together in a nationally af- filiated club, called DECA. This year, we participated in a tri-city meet against Poteet, and Pleasanton, and were second. We also had a Christmas party, presented an assembly program during DE week, and held an auction that was veiy success- ful. Not only have we had fun, but we have learned a lot and have made a finan- cial profit while doing our thing. 92 Bejie Ulcak, President; Irene Castillo, Secretary; Vic- kie Miller, Treasurer; Fay Douglas, Reporter; Estella Douglas, Historian; Domingo Galvan, Vice-Pres.; Mr. Secrest, Sponsor; Carlos Casas, Parliamentarian; Clem Anderson, Sgt. at Arms.

For the first time, margins were justified. Illustrated inserts added to the contents and features in- cluded a puzzle, recipe, and student spotlight. Nine students worked diligent- ly for one semester to publish the paper and four joined the staff at mid-term to bring the total number to thirteen. Nine issues of the paper were published during the year and the issues ranged in size from ten to seventeen pages. Rachel McAllister Editor-in-Chief 96 ANNUAL SWF THE. chief Business Manager: Susan Hill Editor: Kathy Webb Photographer: Tom Bohl With great effort and determination, we have gathered together pictures and information that would help bring happy memories to us in the years to come. Even in our zeal and effort to show each one of us doing our own thing, we feel sure that many of our classmates will see things differently. This staff has tried to represent the whole student body, but have, in fact, done our own thing and called it yours. The reward of seeing a good yearbook in publication will be more than enough for the hours and worry spent in gathering this information and presenting it.

The representatives were elected in February and the council then began to function, meeting the second Wednesday of each month. As one of their first projects, they initiated an opening ceremony each morning with words of wisdom and the pledge of allegiance.

In its inaugural year, the choir per- formed for many civic organizations and groups. The music for the Christmas pro- gram was enjoyed and rewarding. In this first year, the group chose not to go to contest, but concentrated on concerts for local groups. Performances included the Band Booster Meeting, The Chamber of Commerce, the Women's Auxiliary, the F.H.A. Banquet, Rotary Club and school programs. Even in its youth, the organization, with its seventeen mem- bers, made a name for itself by doing its own thing. 103 spoRie Sports of various types offer a student an outlet through which he or she may ex- tend himself. Although natural ability weighs heavily in success, desire and will to win play an important part in the outcome of the games. The outcome of each contest is important, however the success of a program is measured more in individual good it does its participants than in annual records, because for each winner there must be a dozen participants. With team records low for us, and only the girl’s volleyball team winning a district championship, individual sports were a bright spot. Both the tennis doubles team and the tennis singles' representative advanced to the regional tournament in Victoria. At the same time, eight members of the track team advanced to the Regional Track Meet at Victoria. Of these, Richie Gentry won second and ad- vanced to state and Mike Mahoney won first and ad- vanced to state. Richie ran well in Austin, but did not place. Mike won the state meet and was carried down the school's halls on the shoulders of his classmates. Many of us did find sports a means of doing our own thing. 105 fNDtANC FOOTBALL FR IN r .. 'V.: A.

UGH 122 Before we get to High School, there is that stage known as adolescence, or in school, Junior High. Here we engage in various activities with such vigor for living that we seldom really see the problems faced by each of us, but we each feel the need to do our own thing. We acknowledge the fact that we still like to climb ropes, stand on our heads, or just be ourselves. We anxiously look forward to the tomorrows that will bring us the privileges that our older friends enjoy. We find some security in not having to make many of the decisions that are made for us. We float in a suspended animation between childhood and adulthood and try to rush the adulthood, yet cling to the joys of the childhood. We are searching, reaching out, expanding. We feel much like a butterfly who is beginning to emerge from his cocoon, as we stretch our wings and test our own abilities. We know that we have a great deal to learn, and we are glad that we really can not realize just how little we really know. Our tastes are developing, our likes and dislikes becoming a driving force, as we begin to find ways in which to do our own thing. 123 eighth grade omcsse President MARK STROMAN V.

How!!! 132 ELEMENTARY In the elementary world of swings, primers, adoration of teachers, jump ropes, and marbles, we begin to leam, and in so doing, we do our own thing. While we are concerned with teeth that fall out, teeth that get knocked out, pigtails that get pulled, pants that do not get zipped, and other small accidents, we are learning to be a part of the world. We leam to share, often begrudgedly; we learn to make friends, we leam that boys and girls are no longer com- mitted to joint ventures, but become committed to ac- tivities of their own. We leam to be responsible, to keep up with our often-lost belongings. We pass from blind worship of our teacher to a nonchalant acceptance of what she tells us. We slowly untie the apron strings, stretch our wings, and move in our chosen ways. This is the elementary way of doing our own thing. 133 Ralph Alvarado Nita Amador Joe Bosquez Joseph Bosquez Olivia Bosquez Kevin Britton Richard Cardova Tommy Chanez Annie Cruz Grace Cruz Kenneth Culpepper Joe De La Rosa Darrell Dornak Daniel Douglas Dolores Douglas Adrienne Edwards Kelly Ferguson Michael Forrest Richard Gantenbein Oliver Garcia Andy Gonzales Diana Gonzales Juanita Gonzales Luis Gonzales Velia Gonzales David G ustam ante Ronny Harris Elidia Hernandez Sylvia Herrera Viviene Housee Ernest Laque Linda Laque Paul Lopez HFH-f Benny Love Emelia Luna Fred Malone Fredna Malone Peggy Meyer Linda Morales John Muckleroy Gilbert Olivarri Rosemary Olivarri Elizabeth Pawelek Cecilia Pesek Flora Ramirez Joyce Reeves Robert Regalado Dolores Reyes Sylvia Reyes Phillip Rhodes Don Ripple Ricky Rodriquez Ross Rutherford John Ryan Rodney Segura Bryon Smith Catherine Smith Sharon Stewart Chano Villalapando Jacob Villalpondo Lydia Vinton Beverly Vyvlecka Lee Williams Shirley Woodlee Steven Ximenez Leslie Yow Rudy Aguero Alvino Alcorta Riat Alvarado Cecelia Amador Kathy Baring Anna Bames Judy Bosquez Chris Britton David Burnett Mary Calvillo Sally Casas Rosie Castillo Cindy Cooper Alex Crabb Angie Delgado Diana Delgado Lucy De Leon Sarah Duke Ben Edwards Sylvia Escobar Katherine Fuller Angie Garza Caroline Garza Martin Garza, Jr. Ricky Garza Margaret Gawlik Mark Gawlik Martin Gonzales Jr. Jerry Guevara Woode Henry Juan Hernandez Mary Hernandez Margaret Herrera Rick Herrington Mary Beth Holmes 13« FOURTH John Jackson Lisa Klumb Mario Lopez Rachel Lopez Josephine Luna Margie Lowrie Kenny McCullough Charles Malone Mary Martinez Ramiro Martinez Judy Muckleroy Dora Orozco Mark Pacheco Pam Pawelek David Prasifka Dwayne Qualls Rosie Quinonez Cynthia Reeves Rosie Regalado Edward Riley Ester Rodriquez James Rodriquez Leo Rosales Sylvia Ruiz Matt Shows Van Shows Tony Sisnero Linda Smith Martha Ulcak Kevin Vyvlecka Richard Vyvlecka Stanley Vyvlecka Glenda West Beverly Wiley Gerald Zuhlke � 37 R.

We have enjoyed a very successful season in football, both girls' and boys' basketball and track. We have been cheered on by a pep squad and cheerleaders and have had a Junior High Band and a C Band. We shared district honors with United Laredo in the literary meet, giving us a sweep of all district titles, having won the football district and the Fireman's Bowl Trophy in Devine, having won the girls' basketball district championship and tieing for first in boys' basketball, and having split a track title. We have had various ways in which we could express ourselves and have found a small expression of doing our thing. With this season in the record books, we realize that the victory alone has not been the important thing, but that having competed and having taken some small part in this world around us has given us a way not only to express ourselves, but to do our thing. 142 JR; HIGH PEP SQUAD 4th ROW: Mrs. Alma Winters, Sponsor, Christina Yanas, Nora Hilbum, Mona Foster, Rosie DeLaRosa, Terry Pawelek, Judy Culpepper, Clara Stewart. 3rd ROW: Dottie Woelke, Karen Grier, Donna Ryan, Janie Alcorta, Dora Garza, Anna Salazar, Mary Alvarado. 2nd ROW: Dora Rodriquez, Melinda Domak, Jamie Ramirez, Alvira Flores, Karen Williams.

OmCER£ In an effort to build musicianship, the Junior High Band played at the local foot- ball games and concentrated their efforts on concert music the rest of the year. Playing in the open-house concert and in the spring band concert was the culmina- tion of the training. The favorite songs of the band were Windy, Close to You, and Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head. The final activity for the band was marching in the Jourdanton Days Parade.

Through this, they have supported us, both morally and financially, and for this support we are most grateful. As we take our places in the business community, we would only hope to show the compassion that these people have shown and be the kind of community leaders that they are.

Lovona Howard leaves her title as Miss Christine to Sherry Bowen. Maria Isaac, better known as frizzy, leaves her frizzy hair to Annie Serrata. Mike (Precious) Mahoney leaves his many titles, both on and off the track field, to the entire Junior Class, so that if anybody is forgotten in this will, they will receive at least come consolation. Olivia Martinez leaves her underground Christine society column to Christina Lopez. Rachel McAllister would leave her mouth to Ninta Adame, but how stupid can anyone possibly get?

Tricky Ricky Morales can’t find anything to give away cause he needs everything he’s got. Kathy Webb leaves all of Richey's old, cherished love-letters, cards, gifts, kisses, (and she also throws in her ability to climb out windows to meet him at midnight) to Loretta Vyvlecka. Monica Vyvlecka leaves her tight blue jeans, her boots, and she also throws in Frank Dart, to Vicki Bacon in hopes that he will have more fun with her than with Adrienne Armentrout. Dorothy Orozco leave her long-time membership in the Roni Butler Fan Club and all her ability to make it with the boys to Betty Schorsch.

Pete Pawelek leaves his love for Mr. Mac, all his FFA medals, and his feminine laugh and ways to all of the Junior Wierdos.

Irene Castillo leaves her Five-and-Dime Store diamond engagement ring to Maria Gallegos. Richey Gentry leaves his love for himself and his fifteen cracked mirrors to Emilio Ramos who is pretty good at that stuff himself. Elizabeth Lopez leaves her swift ways and actions to Janie Bautista. John Thompson leaves his countless Playboy magazines, pin-ups, and funny little pictures to Bump Stroman in hopes that he will get an eye full just in case he doesn't tonight from Claudia. And last, but certainly not least, the senior class leaves their sponsors, Miss Ivy, Mr. Harbin, and Mr. Marshall, to the Junior Class in hopes that they will drive them even crazier than we did ... 1972 181 CLACC P OWECV On May 13, 1982, the plantation house of Colonel Buddy Harbin was the scene of a reunion of the class of 1972 from Jourdanton High School. Co-hosts of the affair were Coach Jimmy Marshall, head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and Miss Meline Ivy, Ambassador to Spain. The gently rolling hills and the soft southern breeze provided a very pleasant atmosphere for the eating of roast beef, southern fried chicken, and apple pie, and of course, the drinking of mint juleps. The best part of the day was the meeting of old friends and the renewing of friendships. Being in charge of hospitality, the greeting of guests and making them comfortable were my main concern, and my first major problem arose when Carlos Casas, the official taster for Pearl Brewery arrived, for I knew it was going to be difficult to please him with a drink as mild as mint julep. I called on The Mandhandler, Shirley Culpepper, to help me find an answer. As we stood discussing the problem, we saw, strolling across the lawn, the famous author, Carolyn Matocha, whose book WHY BLONDES HAVE MORE FUN has been on the best seller list for over fifteen weeks. She stopped before she reached us, however, and was talking to Susan Hill, the mother of ten little Crouchs and author of the handbook adopted for use by the Susie Homemaker Corporation. These two authors were concerned about whether John Thompson would arrive in time for the reunion. It seems that he had spent the last ten years writing a book on how to enjoy and pass high school English. As the group stood talking, they were joined by Linda Young, Mrs. America of 1972, who was interested in one of them helping her to write a book about husbands. The group suggested that Linda talk to Dorothy Orozco because Dorothy has enjoyed a great deal of success in her perfection of Dr. Reuben's book THE SENSUOUS MAN. As 1 left the group they were talking about the many problems faced by authors and mothers. A great buzz of excitement drew my attention to a large group collected under the giant tree on the lawn. This was a group of show business celebrities who were enjoying a great deal of success. Murray Ray Esquivel was presented with a gold record when he became more popular than Donny Osmand with his hit Puppy Love, which he dedicated to Drusy. Lovona Howard followed in the footsteps of her idol, Mary Denman, and has hosted a suc- cessful talk show on television about Christine, called OUR OWN TOWN. Elizabeth Lopez has had a very success- ful career as a stand-in for Elizabeth Taylor and is almost as bedecked with jewels as Miss Taylor. Olivia Martinez has become such a well-known star that her face is recognized in every home in America. She can be seen each afternoon as the star of Popeye, the New Miss Olivoil. Joey Piatek has swept the country and western music world with his music and his success story. Joey won the fiddler's contest at the Poteet Strawberry Festival and the first prize was five dollars and an audition at the Grand Ole Opry. Joey took the five dollars, hitched a ride to Nash- ville, and failed to make the show. He took a job as chandelier duster at the Opry House and waited to be dis- covered. He now makes more cash than Johnny Cash, who discovered him. While in Nashville Joey ran into Monica Vyvlecka, who had become a janitor at the Grand Ole Opry House so she could be near all of the famous country-western stars. Monica worked very efficiently, although she often had trouble bending down far enough to clean the floor because of her tight blue jeans, and her boots often scuffed the floor. John Self, Broadway star and movie actor, joined the reunion after a personal appearance tour in which he promoted THE LAST OF THE RED HOT LOVERS, his latest movie. And of course, we were all delighted to see Lee Roy (Butch) Brown, who has be- come famous as a stunt man for X-rated movies. After visiting with the celebrities, we moved on across the lawn to a small group gathered under the Gazebo. In this group we found Donald David, Carla Goldman, and Vicki Miller. The three were discussing the financial security and success for scientists who patent their inventions. Donald recalled how he had chosen science as a career when he set out to invent a deodorant to stop the sweat that broke out on his first date with Karen Brooks back in JHS. Carla Goldman has received her fame through her most important invention, the Goldman Hicky Remover. Vicki Miller has had many inventions approved by the patent office, but none have been as successful as the elevator shoes she invented, which she sold in combination with a course written by Paul B. on three ways to master height. As we made our way into the powder room, we ran into a group of beauty title winners. First there was Maria Isaac, who had become president of the Toni Permanent Company after winning the title of Miss Toni of the Uni- verse for five years in a row. Etta Fay Harlan was discussing the advantage of having been named Queen of the Food and Fun for ten straight years, and Sally Gonzales thought nothing could be greater than the thrill of compet- ing in the Miss America pageant as Miss Christine of 1973. Norma Talamantez took a great deal of the credit for the success of these girls because they had all completed her course in Charm and Ettiquette at South West Texas 182 College. She also took credit for Domingo Galvan's success. He has been modeling for the Muscleman ads found in the back of the MAD MAGAZINE for the past several years. Observers cannot agree on whether he won this hon- or because he was muscular or because he was mad. The Wide World of Sports would have had a field day at our reunion because so many of the class members have made their mark in the sports world. John Mahoney, following his victory in the state meet, went on to the Olympic games in pole vaulting. In practice he had been vaulting over 16', so he passed until the bar reached 8'. At this height, he was unlucky enough to miss all three tries, so his friends sadly reported that he bombed out at eight feet.” Clem Anderson has found his niche in the world and has enjoyed several years of success as Cassius Clay's Soul-Singing punching bag. They still haven’t settled the argument as to who is the greatest ... Richey Gentry achieved world fame as a hurdler and we were delighted to report to him that we have enjoyed watching the Vitalis commercials since he replaced Pete Maravich. We were all concerned with the lighting, however, because he kept having dark shadows in the neck area. Not to be outdone in the spons field, Jimmy Palmer filled his buddies in on the details of his life in Nebraska, where he has been selling peanuts at the football games and combining two of his interests, peanuts and football. With a great deal of regret, I left the group to their tiddly- winks game and went to the veranda of the house to socialize a bit. On the veranda, we found a number of celebrities. Pete Pawelek, who had become manager of the Smith- sonian Institute, told the group that all of his FFA medals had been on display and were guarded faithfully by his watchdog, Mr. Wilke. James P. Scott discussed the rewards of his chosen occupation. This All-American boy has formed his own all-night chaperone service and has not had a night off in ten years. Alex Flores told of leaving the cleaning business after he became familiar with James Brown and his jingle bells fairy Christmas. Across the lawn, I noticed Rachel McAllister running toward the group excitedly. It seems that she has become head of the Jimmy Scott National Fan Club and has not seen Jimmy since the convention of 1980. Many of the class are in the service of their country, so they were especially welcomed by the group. The most welcome of these was Bill Brown, who was not expected to attend. Bill has been serving as the Commanding Officer of the U.S. Special Forces Jungle Survival Camp in Panama, eating snails and grasshoppers. In his spare time, he developed a special grasshopper call, for which he received the soldier's medal. Two of the class mem- bers have been serving on special committees for the President of the United States. Just arriving from Washington was Jack Powell who has become the President's personal example on the American Cancer Council, demonstrating the effects of tobacco inside the bottom lip. Jesse Cordova has enjoyed a successful ten years heading the Presi- dent's Council on Population Explosion and Birth Control. Jesse has enjoyed such fringe benefits as touring the world and ... speaking, while Jack has only had benefit of all the free tobacco that he can use. Katherine Gaydos has made her mark by contributing as the chief food taster for Weight Watchers of America, while Fay Douglas has retired to a farm at Amphiam after having failed in her bid for a fourth term in office as chief of the butt-in-skies of the county. Katherine and Fay were talking to Ricky Morales who was walking around with a large stack of blank membership cards. It seems that Ricky has become the most interested partici- pant in Hugh Heffner's Club and is selling memberships. Becky Taylor hardly had time to talk to Ricky, since she wanted to find some of her old classmates and tell them about her success at becoming head of her class at La- Grange in the art of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Many of the girls who graduated in 1972 were influenced by the trends of the seventies and became active in Women’s Lib movements. Diana Reyes, taking advantage of her intelligence, has enjoyed five years as head of the national organization for women's lib. Gloria Salazar has done no work on the National level, but became known as the best liberated girl in Atascosa County. As a result of liberation, Sharon Pivonka Schorsch became head of the Jourdanton State Bank, and spent her time counting money, money, money. She occasionally did give John Henry a break (or an allowance). Kathy Webb has concentrated on a different kind of liberation and has become the most brilliant and best-informed counselor on the five quicky and easy ways to divorce. None of them are tried methods, since Kathy has never been married however. After leading the-drive to liberate the American Dairy Cows, Claudia Miller has been honored for her work by the American Dairy Association. Claudia's picture has replaced Elsie's picture on all Borden's products. Even though Estella Douglas was interested in libera- tion, she has not had time to participate in any kind of movement. She has spent the past five years as assistant bookkeeping teacher under Mrs. Bowen, and this has kept her too busy to do much else. 183 Although none of the class chose to be doctors, Irene Castillo has enjoyed being a receptionist-nurse for Dr. Welby, having completed her training at the LVN school at Mercy hospital. Genaro Torres started to medical school, but flunked his course in surgery and became head of the grass cutting department at Medical Center. Sam Scott also failed to make it through medical school because of some kind of trouble with his physical science, so he went back to Jourdanton to become head butcher at Darby's. Many of his customers have laughed at the idea that Sam is responsible for such delicacies as dog and cat meat, although there has been a marked drop in the animal population of Jourdanton the past few years. It is a known fact however, that Sam's greatest meat attrac- tion is rattlesnake steak. This day has been a pleasant one, but each member of the class seems ready to leave. With the strumming of banjos in the background, the class members bid their fond farewells. With the smell of magnolias settling over the area along with the dusk, the chirp of crickets replaces the conversation of the visitors. The plantation will soon become a quiet scene from out of the past that the Class of Jourdanton High School of 1972 will long remember. 184 Artists at work on the mural. And the Beat Goes On. Up, Up, Up, Up, and Away? T The band, after working hard all year, took a trip to Garner to complete the ac- tivities. Evidence of the good times had by all is printed here. 186 Ohhh! Sleepy-Time Gals. Congratulations Pete! We can't believe we ate the whole thing!
