Eagle pride had come to Junction and students found it was of major importance at JHS. For many students, Eagle Pride meant everything. Kim McClurg stated, Eagle Pride is sticking it out through the ram and cold or defeat to come back again and again to support our teams. To the football players Eagle Pride is a sense of determination. Eagle Pride is running out of energy while you're losing and then coming back to win the game for your school,” expressed Eddie Heath. Throughout the year, students attended athletic sports and stood behind the teams and cheered them on to victory. This was the only way they knew how to contribute to Eagle Pride. Athletic sports aren't the only way students supported Eagle Pride. I play in the band and I cheer along with the cheerleaders at pep rallies and football games, commented Stacy Steiner. Despite the lows created during the year, students managed to let a sense of spirit and good will prevail. Eagle Pride had been a tradition that would never die as long as the student body would keep interest in the pride of the school. When asked for ex- tra comments on Eagle Pride, Mariana Holekamp enthusiastically had this to say, Eagle Pride Over All! Looking throuah all the things she bought, Kim McClurg reminisces over her trip to Colorado with the band.

They were proud men; men who had designs of toying with the history of the state. They were intelligent men who strove to make Texas the greatest and most unique state in the nation. Throughout the years, all Texans have learned these values and traits that our forefathers possessed. Pride” began to be a key word in the languages of every Texas American. No better time than during the celebration of the 150 years of our state's in- dependence, the Sesquicentenmal, should JHS as a school, salute the years of Eagle Pride. The Eagles,'' each uniquely different in their own way, each proud as their foun- ding fathers, yet striving to make JHS a unit, have accepted the challenge of the year.

Irtlfcl’ y ULiilit lit- Lt was 9 pm! Most sensible people would be at home but ... not the students of JHS. They were found cruzing on Main. My favorite pastime in Junction is stopping my friends on Main and cat- ching up on news, replied Kim McClurg. In the wee hours of the evening, most students went to the Texan Theatre to en- joy a movie. Then with the ending of each movie students joined their friends to park and talk about current events in Junction, or stop by Town and Country to fill up their tank to go cruzing up and down Main. Students found most pastimes took money, so many of them had after school and weekend jobs. In the midst of their Saturday mornings, many students got up and got going to begin their work day on Main. The students earned spending money for clothes, entertainment and col- lege. Commenting why she worked at Brown's Fried Chicken, Heather Olsen replied, I work to earn extra spending money plus it's fun! But some just work- ed to help out their parents. “I play like the secretary, replied Cathy Stewart. “I answer the telephone and file away papers while working at Ed's Fix it Shop, There's never a dull moment for the students of JHS.

Many hobbies ranged from tacKwando to reading and being with friends. Hobbies helped students relieve tension, set and obtain personal goals and gam knowledge. I feel hobbies are important because they give a person time to relax and to do things that one enjoys most, commented Melissa Evans. Some students at JHS even told of some unusual hobbies such as star gazing and cloud watching. These students really liked to have time to clear their minds of troubles while relaxing on their backs watching the clouds go by. Others said that they like doing lots of different hobbies and could not name all they were in- volved in, unusual or not. Mostly students just liked to relax and have a good time while pursuing their many hobbies and hidden talents.

That's what friendship is all about, sort of like ... well, The Good Samaritan. Perhaps we know they'll be with us through thick and thin, said Charles Tomlinson. Friends are people to confide in and tell your inner-most thoughts. When asked what she would do without friends, Traci Happner stated, It would be very hard to cope without friends because I would not have anyone to talk to. A best friend to someone who, no matter who you are, you can be yourself around them. If you are sad, they are there. If you are lonely, they are there, and if you just want to be alone they always understand. Stacy Folley commented, It's im- portant to have good friends to share your feelings and pro- blems with.” Ms. Janice Stockton expressed that a friend was caring, understanding, supportive, and honest no matter what the situation. With friendship comes security, trust, comfort and love. The students at Junction High School were luckier than most, because the school was small enough that it allowed them to have an abundance of friends. All agreed that with friendship you could just be yourself. Sitting on the cement steps of the high school building. James Kothmann enjoys the rays of the warm February sun.

They rush to order their food and eat in time to get back before the bell. Others preorder their food so that they are assured of having enough time to eat. Many students just eat their lunchtime meals on campus to save all of this trouble. Favorite places to eat were La Familia, Dairy Queen, Kathy's and The Little Store. The Little Store is nice to have because it's just across the street from the school, said Todd Bannowsky. Along with the relaxation from work, work, and more work, students find time dur- ing lunch to discuss the latest news. Some push to get caught up on their homework. Lunchtime often saves me, when I didn't do my homework, said Heather Olsen. “I use my lunchtime to run errands,” commented Shirley Davis. No matter where students eat or what they do, the 35-minute lunch break was a necessary time to relax, eat, and most of all visit with friends.

This compilation of events, historical sequences and characteristics of those who tamed the frontier is designed to enhance the meaning of the name TEXAN” — for those whose spirit swells with pride at the sound of the rushing Rio Grande River or whose eyes sparkle at the sight of a field of bluebonnets in May.

On this occasion, our Sesquicentenmal Celebration, we truly Remember the Alamo. evenge cast an angry shadow over Mexican troops gathered on Jan. 25, 1836. Anglo- American colonists in Texas no longer wished to remain part of Mexico. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Mexico’s president, was to lead an expedition against the rebel colonists. The Mexican army had already suffered defeat in San Antonio at the hands of Colonel J.H. Moore and about 160 Texans. This loss outraged Mexico’s General Cos who was determined to chastise Texans for opening his personal mail. General Cos ordered Colonel Domingo de Ugartechea, commander of troops in San Antonio, to recover a cannon given to Texans for defense against the Indians. On Sept. 29, the Mexican force encamped on the west bank of the Guadalupe River, a short distance from the town. Armed with scrap metal, chains and the disputed cannon —loaded and flagged with a banner inscribed, COME AND TAKE IT, — the courageous and fiery Texans sent the Mexican army scurrying back to San Antonio. One Mexican was killed. The revolution had begun. Santa Anna wanted revenge. But this time, Mexico was prepared. Six thousand Mexican troops crossed the Rio Grande River on Feb. 16 with 21 cannons, 1,800 pack mules, 33 large wagons and 200 carts. Santa Anna wanted to avenge the defeat of General Cos. His first target was a previously indomitable fortress — the Alamo. When the gates of the Alamo closed, 150 fighting men were quartered against the east and west walls. About 24 civilians hovered in the fort's old church. Among the civilians were David Crockett, ex-congressman from Tenn.; James (Jim) Bowie and William B. Travis. Travis sent out desperate appeals for assistance to nearby forts. No sign of relief appeared. On Feb. 23, the Mexicans were sighted. Travis sent out two scouts with a final plea for men and provisions; the men are determined to defend the Alamo at last, he warned. The next day he wrote, The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, but I shall never surrender or rpr rpo f ■ VICTORY OR DEATH. Just before dawn on March 6, Santa Anna stormed the Alamo. The Texans fought to their deaths. Santa Anna ordered all of the rebel corpses piled on wood and burned. The rebels did not die in vain. Revolutionary forces were prepared to meet Santa Anna and finally forced a Mexican surrender. But the defenders of the Alamo never knew Texas was already independent. the Russell's daughter. John promised to marry Lucy upon his return in one year. Before John's return, Indians raided the Russell ranch and killed the family. Outraged, John sought Lucy’s murderer. One day, he sighted a savage Indian holding a shield resembling a stretched deer skin. On the shield was a scalp of beautiful hair —blonde hair like Lucy Russell's. Reports from the county near Lucy Russell's home show the combined population of two counties declined from 3,752 in 1860 to 1,585 in 1870. Texans raised the hue-and-cry: We need protection from the Indians by the U.S. Army. When President Grant assumed office in 1869, peace advocates persuaded him to adopt a policy of diplomacy, rather than force, with regard to the Indian problem in Texas. It wasn't until the raid at Salt Creek in May of 1871 that General of the Army William Tecumseh Sherman and Randolph B. Marcy, inspector general of the Army, recognized and acknowledged the indiscriminate slaughter of settlers in Texas. TBe Salt Creek Massacre led to the arrest of Kiowa leader Satana and two other Indian leaders, Satank and Big Tree. Satana refused to stand trial and was shot trying to escape. Satank and Big Tree were tried and convicted for the murders at Salt Creek and sentenced to hang. Their sentences were later commuted to imprisonment. The chiefs were paroled in August, 1873. The War Department now unleashed its troops against the Indians, forcing a westward movement that would annihilate the Indian way of life. The movement allowed for the expansion of the Texas range-cattle industry, the existence of farmers and agriculture and the growth of industry. An endless Indian crusade to prevent extinction of the buffalo resulted in bitter, cruel deaths for both Indians and settlers. The buffalo and the land were both sources of survival, existence and worship for many Indians. Death in defending such rituals was considered honorable.

NEW--- ' FRONTIER I ilm and pictorial essays depict the nd pn befoi years before and after the Civil War as the most colorful in Texas history. Four years before the war, in 1860, only the bravest souls settled west of a line extending from Henrietta southward through Belknap, Palo Pinto, Brownwood, Kerrville and Uvalde to Bracketville. The lack of protection from the army during the Mexican-American War left settlers in Texas defenseless. Country west of a line drawn from Gainesville to Fredericksburg was abandoned by all but the most courageous. Many lived in stockades and watched each evening in terror as smoke surrounded the summer moon. Charred cabin skeletons stood like enormous gravestones for slaughtered families. One wanderer. Cowboy John Allen, camped near the Russell family stockade. For his protection the family agreed it would be best for him to move inside. John fell in love with Lucy, 'Ifich'i HERITAGE xcept for Alaska, Texas is the largest state in the union with 267,399 square miles of territory extending from the High Plains of the Panhandle to the Gulf of Mexico. An aerial view of Texas would divide our state into three regions: the Atlantic-Gulf Coastal Plain, the Great Plains of Central North America and the Rocky Mountain system. The Coastal Region has heavy soil and a variety of vegetation. East Texas is a region spanned with lush farms and pine forests. The area produces pork, beef, poultry and dairy products. The Central Texas Prairies Region extends from Austin northward to the Red River. Rich, black soils produce grain, cotton and livestock- support crops. Texas comes from the Spanish word, tejas, meaning friends” or allies.” Early Spanish explorers and mission- aries applied the name to the territory between the Trinity and Red Rivers called the Land of the Indians. THE INDIANS The first Europeans found many Indian tribes in Texas and a variety of native cultures — the Caddoans of East Texas; the Karankawas along the Gulf Coast; the Wichita and Tonkowa tribes in Central Texas; the Coahuiltecans, a number of small tribes who lived south of San Antonio; and the Apaches, who lived in the western part of the state and later were forced to share their land with the Comanches. Among the nomadic Comanches was the famous Quanah Parker, one of the last Comanche war chiefs. He was the son of Chief Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, a captive white woman. The Comanches were superb horsemen and warriors and made life unsafe for settlers until about 1875. SPANISH AND FRENCH EXPLORERS In 1519, Alsonso Alvarez de Pineda mapped the Gulf of Mexico’s coast. Pineda spent 40 days at the mouth of the Rio Grande River — which he called River of Palms” — and recommended a settlement be constructed at the site. Two hundred years later the first settlers arrived. The first Spaniards to enter Texas were Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and three companions. In 1682, a trader from Canada was the first settler in Texas. The 1763 Treaty of Paris gave Florida to England from Spain in exchange for Spain retaining possession of western Louisiana. Between 1763 and 1821, Texas was ruled by the Spanish, then by Mexico before winning independence. COLONIZATION, REVOLUTION AND PIONEER INSTITUTIONS Simultaneous with the Mexican Revolution, the Indians slowed the westward expansion of settlers. In 1817, Secretary of War John C. Calhoun initiated the policy of removing all Indians from the American frontier to the Louisiana meridian — the western extremity of the timberlands and beyond. In conjunction with this action, effective in 1825, land laws of Spain and Mexico became more attractive to settlers than those of the United States. By 1820, land was selling for 50 times less in Texas. The movement of settlers into Texas was largely the story of two men, Moses Austin and his son, Stephen Fuller Austin. On Dec. 3, 1820, the elder Austin approached Gov. Antonio de Martinez in San Antonio, requesting permission to establish a colony of 300 families in Texas. Moses Austin died soon after his return home, and it was Stephen F. Austin, then 27 years old. A large part of Texas was once Comanche country.

Dallas Public Library. who would complete his father's task. Stephen F. Austin later earned the title, Father of Texas. By the beginning of the Texas revolution, the name Texan represented a group of tough, self-reliant individualists. After three centuries of Spanish rule, the sensitive Mexicans were unprepared for self-government. In 1825, President John Quincy Adams offered Mexico $1,000,000 for the removal of the border to the Rio Grande River. President Andrew Jackson raised Adams' offer. Again, Mexico declined the offer. It was becoming apparent a violent solution was the only course of action. Folk tales say Americans never fought better than they did in Texas. They fought for a new way of life — as cattlemen and farmers on the brazen Texas frontier. While life on the early frontier has sometimes been compared to the Old South, most Texans could only dream of large plantations. They were small subsistence farmers with primitive homes and farming methods. Inadequate frontier transportation systems were later updated to increase the efficiency of mail and cattle delivery and cotton exportation. Early settlers worried about Indians, epidemics, weather and crop failure. Early Texans acquired a reputation for lawlessness. Settled towns provided a sanctuary for saddle-weary range riders. In 1850, the state had no spare towns. Galveston, with its 4,177 citizens, was the largest. San Antonio and Houston followed. Austin, long buffeted by Indians, had only 639 residents. Riding the crest of a population boom, San Antonio's population rose to 8,236 by 1860. The best buildings in town were usually the hotels Service was often poor. An exception was the full two-and-one-half-story Menger Hotel, on the Alamo Plaza in San Antonio. The building of fine-cut stone, together with its carpiets, decorations and furniture, cost $16,000. Only wealthy p eople could afford a room in the Menger. The rank-and-file slept in the wagon ya rds. o is for the Oil we take from the ground exas in 1900 boasted a population of three million. Cities were growing, lifestyles reflected a diverse cultural ■ background, and effects of industrialization were noticeable. ■ But the state was decidedly rural. Newspapers advertised land and agriculture. The state’s leading industries were cotton, cattle and land. For Texas, the 20th century did not begin until Jan. 10, 1901 when the Lucas No. 1 oil well blew out at Spindletop, Texas — near Beaumont — and brought in the state’s first gusher. The state’s history changed its course at that moment. Oil had come to Texas. It took six days to cap the Lucas No. 1 as the well spilled an estimated 75,000 barrels of oil each day. Thousands of spectators rushed to see the spectacle. In 1902, Spindletop accounted for 94 percent of the state's oil production. The salt dome formations around Beaumont were now housing wells within a 150-mile radius which created an oil glut attracting global attention. At one point, oil was selling for three cents-a-barrel while drinking water for oil-field workers sold for five cents-a-cup. The Texas Gulf Coast became a magnet for large corporations and entrepreneurs. Among those building refineries, pipelines and export facilities in the Port Arthur-Beaumont region were the Gulf Oil, Sun Oil and Texas Companies. By 1911, a group of Houston investors formed their own company, the Humble Oil and Refining Company, later affiliated with Standard of New Jersey. These smaller, independently-owned oil Today’s wildcats are a different breed. As powerful and dangerous as the sea itself, massive offshore drilling rigs line the Texas Gulf Coast. companies profited from a seemingly inexhaustible supply of crude extracted from the coastal area. If California produced a barrage of panhandlers in 1849 with gold fever, the discovery of oil recreated the scene in turn-of-the-century Texas Thar's oil in that thar ground! Almost too much oil? Maybe for W.T. Waggoner who, in 1910 while drilling a well on his North Texas ranch discovered oil, was quoted as saying, Damn the oil. I wanted water.” By 1920, the state was floating on a sea of oil. Petroleum production that year neared 100 million barrels valued at over $300 million, while natural gas production assumed a distinguished role and produced over $7 million in revenue. Corporations and independent oil companies were working to stabilize the industry, but spectacular booms and massive finds hampered any control. Between 1918 and 1926, the Panhandle opened what was to be the largest gas field in the world. By the mid-1950s the Panhandle fields attracted 43 plants that produced over 50 percent of the natural gas extracted in Texas. West Texas attracted attention with the discovery of the Permian Basin, and towns like Colorado City, Big Spring, Midland, Odessa and Pecos experienced a rapid population boom. Crane County organized a county government for the first time, significant because as late as 1918 there were only 14 citizens in the county. The Lone Star State has been the nation's leading oil-producing state since 1928. Growth of the oil industry led to activity in Texas banks, real estate and retail trade. Farmers began to look like ranchers, and the term Texas Millionaire was soon adopted. The story of the Texas petroleum industry before the Great Depression is one of spectacle and drama. On Oct. 3, 1930, the No. 3 Daisy Bradford oil well in East Texas created an explosion in oil discovery. The boom was on and independent oil men rushed to the sight. By the end of 1931, the fields in East Texas supported 5,652 wells. The situation led to massive overproduction. The price of oil tumbled. It was time for regulation, and through the efforts of the Texas Railroad Commission, the price of oil was stabilized by limiting production. The oil industry discovered a new growth in the production of oil products — perhaps the greatest impact petroleum has had on Texas. During World War II, the petroleum industry developed into the petrochemical industry. Thousands of variations of plastics, synthetic rubbers, dyes, fertilizers and chemicals were being produced in the Gulf Coast, Permian Basin and Panhandle areas. Production in these areas continues today. Petroleum-related businesses in 1982 employed roughly one out of every 12 non-farmers in the state. For every 10 jobs created in the oil industry, another 37 are created in other sectors of the economy. Government has also prospered from the petroleum industry in Texas, with the oil and gas business claiming the title of the state’s single largest taxpayer. survey of Texans’ occupations in 1860 reported 2,223 merchants, 1,471 doctors and 850 lawyers. There were 758 clergymen, but only eight architects. Four Texans described themselves as catchers of wild horses,” a conventional occupation in those days. Among the unexpected occupations reported were four toymakers, six photographers, three actors, five clockmakers and six dancing masters. But of the 43,000 Texans who listed occupations, about 25,000 called themselves farmers. The most important crop for the marketplace was cotton. The first large-scale cotton planter, Colonel Jared E. Groce, moved to Austin County from Alabama in late 1821. Except for years when pests destroyed the crops, production increased every year. Texas agriculture was ruled by cotton’s supremacy for many decades following the cotton boom of 1850. By 1925,Texas farmers harvested 36 percent of the nation's cotton and 20 percent of the cotton grown in the world. Farmers chose to produce sorghum and other varieties of livestock feed in lieu of cotton. Acreage devoted to livestock feed increased from 23,000 to 1,701,000 acres from 1879 to 1929. Cotton yields decreased in 1892 when the boll weevil destroyed crops after crossing the Rio Grande River and again in the 1930s because of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Although cotton was the cash crop in early Texas, corn was indispensable. To a large extent, corn sustained the people and livestock of Texas. Sweet potatoes ranked next to corn in importance. Other crops included Irish potatoes, wheat, beans, peas and melons. Whereas, livestock included poultry, hogs, horses, sheep, goats and cattle. Citrus fruits were a profitable commercial crop and, by 1929, 85 percent of Texas' five million citrus trees grew the delicious Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit. During the 1880s, sugar production increased on 5,000 acres and 45 plantations in Brazoria, Ft. Bend, Matagorda and Wharton counties. This area became known as the Sugar Bowl.” The sugar industry grew until weather caused its demise. Commercial farming decreased drastically in the 1930s. Since the Depression, farming patterns have changed. Between 1935 and 1980, the number of farms declined from 501,014 to 186,000 as the rural population fell from 59 to 17 percent. Scientific irrigation methods and the need for modern farm equipment transformed the farming trade into a large, profitable industry. While there are fewer farmers today, the average size of a Texas farm between 1930 and 1980 grew from 275 to 744 acres. Cotton remains king and today nets the Texas economy more than $1 billion annually. Texas continues to grow more cotton than any other state in the nation. Cotton was spun and woven into cloth. Within a year, one Texan wrote in his diary he made a wheel, a coffin, a churn, a cradle, a pump auger, an ox yoke and a pair of shoes. By the turn-of-the- century, ready-made goods were rapidly replacing homemade materials and life on the early Texas farm slowly evolved into a sophisticated, late 20th century industry. LIFE ON THE FARMS: A PIONEER LEGEND Agrarian efforts of the Spaniards in the 18th century laid the foundation for the formal organization of farming and ranching in Texas. Missionaries adopted a life of farming for their own survival. The first settlers, those who followed Stephen F. Austin, were lured by cheap land. In 1821, for only a filing fee, a family would be granted a labor of land (177 acres) for farming and a league of land (4,428 acres) for grazing. The farm population boom occurred with the passage of the Homestead Act of 1854. This act gave 160 acres of land to anyone who resided on the land for more than three years. Homestead life was austere. The double log cabin was the most popular form of housing. It consisted of two rooms under a continuous roof. Usually, a front porch extended the length of the cabin. Chimneys were commonly made of sticks covered with mud. Floors were optional. Spaces between the logs were filled with clay or mortar. The Germans in Texas built better houses than other settlers, frequently using stone, but most Texas frontier homes were best described by the future President of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes. He said settlers' homes had walls you could throw a cat through at random. For a state that could have produced fruits, vegetables and cereals and one where cattle were abundant, the diet of most early Texans was strangely monotonous. The most common vegetable was the sweet potato. People rarely ate meat, and many didn’t have milk and butter. The early Texas farm was almost self-sufficient. Candles or lard-burning lamps provided light. Below: Texas cotton production reaps tl billion annually. More cotton is grown in Texas than any other state. Far Below: A taste for freedom and a thirst for land to call their own led pioneer farmers to Texas. From the putt-putt and pedal- propelled vehicles of yesterday to today's streamlined cargo carriers, transportation has taken a leap from the past. Mfmc- , the whistle - B oWVN ? mong the first daring men to map trails through Texas were cattle drivers. The cattle drive era ended with the introduction of railroads, oil wells and fences. In 1866, an estimated 260,000 cattle were started on these trails for Sedalia and other railroad heads in Missouri from which cows would be shipped to profitable Northeastern markets. The best known cattle trail was the Chisholm Trail. It was opened in 1867 by Jesse Chisholm, a Cherokee Indian trader. The trail began in South Texas, ran by Austin and Lampasas, passed between Fort Worth and Weatherford, crossed the Red River and snaked through Indian territory to Caldwell, Kansas. Westward movement by farmers and ranchers forced the cattlemen to seek new trails. By the 1880s, every large division of West Texas had secured a railroad, and from 1870 to 1930 the economic transformation of Texas assumed great proportions — largely because of railroads. By 1904, Texas contained more miles of railroad track than any other state. Although subsistence farming did not disappear, most farmers turned to the cash crop — cotton. Commercial agriculture continued to provide a living for the majority of Texans until the beginning of oil production at Spindletop. By the 1920s, the value of industrial production exceeded that of agricultural production. With the rise of cities and the decline of the agrarian state, industrialization had come to roost in Texas. To Texans of the late 19th century, railroads were the key to progress and prosperity. When a railroad bypassed a community, it was certain to become a ghost town. Many railroads were courted by citizens and sometimes railroads received gifts of free state land in exchange for placing their tracks by certain towns. The greatest beneficiary was the Texas and Pacific Railroad, which was given 5,167,360 acres. Approximately 32,150,000 acres of state land were awarded to railroad companies, an area as large as the entire state of Alabama. Construction of the bulk of the state's major railroads occurred during two decades. By the close of the 1890s, the state had 8,710 miles of railroad track. The Texas and Pacific Railway reached Fort Worth in 1876 and met the eastbound Southern Pacific at Sierra Blanca. Here the famous agreement between C.P. Huntington of the Southern Pacific and Jay Gould of the Texas and Pacific was reached. The two agreed to share rail lines from Sierra Blanca to El Paso. Among the major railroad companies that built in Texas during this era were the Houston and Texas Central, the Gulf, the Colorado and Santa Fe, the Fort Worth, the Denver City, the Texas and Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the International and Great Northern. The railroad industry suffered during the Great Depression and World War II. Railways fought a losing battle against automobiles, airplanes and the change to new transportation systems. Texas, however, remains number one in terms of railroad mileage and is served by seven class-one rail carriers. The primary rail tonnage originating in the state includes non-metallic mineral, chemical, farm, petroleum, wood and lumber products. The Texas highway system ranks among the nation’s best. Federal interstates, state highways and rural roads link the regions of West and East Texas to the Panhandle, and all of South Texas to the Rio Grande River. The vastness of Texas demands a reliable network of roads. With a trip from El Paso to Orange being 860 miles, a New Englander could see several states traveling the same distance on the East Coast. As early as 1883, a project was begun to deepen the channel of Galveston's port. But in the annals of artificial ports, no story is more impressive than that of Houston’s. In 1908, Houston citizens inaugurated a movement to secure a deep water channel By 1925, with $10.6 million of federal and local funding, the channel was extended 55 miles from the Houston harbor to the outer harbor and deepened to 35 feet. Houston is now the leading port in Texas and one of the largest in the nation. Dominating developments in transportation during the postwar years were automobiles and airplanes. Motor vehicle registration rose from 2,192,654 in 1946 to 11,297,938 in 1978. Only California has more automobiles on the highway than Texas. Commercial air passenger service in Texas began in 1928. Growth was modest during World War II, but rapidly increased in the postwar years. Between 1965 and 1978, the number of people traveling by air in Texas tripled. first to operate in Texas in 18)2. It was called the General Sherman.” Before the first white settlements were established in Texas, Spanish missionaries were converting Indians to Christianity and teaching them Western traditions and ideals. Education didn’t become an issue in Texas government until Stephen F. Austin’s first colony was settled. Each colony in 1836 was required to have a school to teach not just the three R’s,” but a variety of subjects including history, rhetoric, composition, philosophy and foreign languages. eligious organizations became instrumental in the education of Texas' youth, and in the early 19th century, a variety of religious colleges were opened The first, Rutersville Gdlege, opened its doors on Feb. 1, 1840 The founder was a Methodist named Martin Ruter. The Baptists established Baylor University in 1845. Baylor, located in Waco, is the oldest continuously operated institution of higher learning in the state When Texas entered the Union in 1845, its constitution pledged to make changes in the field of education. Later, the state adopted a schedule of funding schools through property taxes. The Morill Act in 1862 prompted the founding of the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University to promote agricultural education. The next major educational development occurred in 1915 when the Compulsory Attendance Law was passed. This law required children between the ages of 8 and 14 to attend school for 60 days-a- year, unless the child had a proper excuse. The law was amended in 1918 to require 80 days of attendance and amended again in 1919 to require 100 days of attendance. In 1949, State Senator A M. Aiken supported a series of bills through the legislature aimed at improving education. The new system immediately showed positive results, and the quality of education in Texas grew to become respected nationwide. The United States involvement in World War II led to a drop in college enrollment, but enrollment soared in 1944 with the introduction of the GI Bill of Rights and the flood of returning veterans wanting to enroll in college. The growth in college enrollment continued through the 1960s and into the 1970s. However, the role of education and its influence on our lifestyles may change in the future if enrollment figures at the high school and university level continue to drop — a recent trend attributed to a decline in the birth rate after 1967. In addition, university budget reductions and a tightening of student loan requirements have forced both schools and students to economize their educational opportunities. A schoolhouse established in 1890 was still standing in 1965. R Early Spanish missions add a sense of history to modern Texas. Gm m'fhoX' RELIGION The 1837 Ecclesiastical Committee of Vigilance for Texas was more likely to find a group of rough, rowdy Texans preferring to raise hell than seek salvation. Nevertheless, the committee’s efforts were undaunted, and the missionary zeal that brought Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian ministers to Texas lives in many counties today. w t hen the state entered the Union in 1845 — 12.5 percent of the population belonged to a church Camp revivals soon became a way to relieve the monotony of the frontier. Baptists were among the first to pioneer changes in the wicked West and the religious press. Texas Baptist George Washington Baines (Lyndon Baines Johnson's grandfather) published the Texas Baptist from 1855 to 1861. The Cumberland Presbyterians followed with the Texas Presbyterian. Evangelism was spread by publicity gained through the efforts of individuals and groups like William Y. Allen and his Texas Temperance Society. Many religious leaders did more than fight hard liquor. Organized religion opened the first colleges in the state. Many fought illiteracy. Thomas J. Pilgrim, a Baptist, started the Texas Sunday School Movement. The founding of Baylor University in 1845 prompted many religious organizations to seek education as a means of sending their message. Some religious groups appealed to the diverse immigrant population. German, Czechoslovakian, Polish and Hispanic people were Catholic. By 1860 over 30 percent of the Texas population wa« black and many joined the Baptist church. Famous religious leaders became advocates of social justice. Joseph Martin Dawson, a Baptist, fought child labor, exploitation of immigrants, advocated women's rights and rebuked the Ku Klux Klan. In 1950, the Baptist General Convention created the Christian Life Commission, an activist agency dedicated to applied Christianity. They opposed universal military training in the early 1950s, defended the supreme court's desegregation and school prayer decisions of the early 1960s, sanctioned abortion under certain circumstances, promoted sex education, urged a settlement in Viet Nam, and fought against air and water pollution. Texas Catholics like Archbishop Robert E. Lucey placed the church in support of the underprivileged. He championed rights to decent wages, racial integration, housing, equality and health services. Today 56 percent of the Texas population belong to organized congregations. For several decades, Americans have watched with anticipation as astronauts reported to Mission Control in Houston. TEXAS Jhina-' Much ado about Everything The Astrodome, eighth wonder of the world,” was the first fully air-conditioned, enclosed, domed, multipurpose- sports stadium in the world. The stadium seats 66,000 and could hold an 18-story building. The Astrodome is the home of the Houston Oilers football team and the Houston Astros baseball team. ☆ ☆ ☆ The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, was formed in 1958 by the National Aeronautics and Space Act signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Manned Spacecraft Center is an astronautical complex of more than 1,000 acres located near Houston. It is here that the spacecraft that have been to the moon and back are displayed. ☆ ☆ ☆ The Texas Flag was adopted by the Congress of the Republic of Texas on Jan. 25, 1839. Texas became known as the Lone Star State because of the single star on the flag. ☆ ☆ ☆ Chili became the state dish of Texas in 1977. Chili is similar to stew cooked with a variety of ingredients, ranging from jackrabbit, rattlesnake and pork to jalapenos, frijoles, cayenne and comino. Texans pride themselves on their chili recipes and host many chili cook-offs to show off their culinary expertise. Tidbits and fun facts for those in pursuit of trivia. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was born on Feb 24, 1885, in Fredericksburg, Texas. He graduated seventh in his class from the United States Naval Academy in 1905. In 1938, he was promoted to rear admiral. At the outbreak of World War II, President Roosevelt chose Nimitz to be Commander-in- Chief of the Pacific Fleet. This appointment made Nimitz one of the most powerful commanders up to that time. Sam Houston was born in Virginia in 1793. At age 36 he married an Indian woman and later moved to Texas as an agent of the Cherokee tribe. He was elected major general of the Texas army and signed the Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836. Following his victory over Santa Anna, he became the first president of the Republic of Texas. He later served 14 years as a U.S. Senator from Texas. The Longhorn evolved into their own tough breed in South Texas when they were abandoned to run wild when Texas won its independence from Mexico. The Longhorns were the first cattle raised in Texas for breeding and selling. They were transported to the northern slaughter houses via the famous Chisholm trail to Kansas. The state herd of longhorns is at Fort Griffin, on the Brazos River. ☆ ☆ ☆ The Astrodome, called the eighth wonder of the world, is so immense — once water condensed in The King Ranch began its the top forming clouds, and exciting organization in 1852 when Captain Richard King acquired 54,000 acres of grassland on Santa Gertrudis Creek in South Texas. It is now international, with the Texas ranch alone covering more than 1,500 square miles. The King Ranch has always set and maintained the highest standards for farming, cattle and horse breeding and all other facets of ranching. Their extensive scientific research program developed the Santa Gertrudis breed of cattle, which is the only recognized variety of purebred cattle developed in America. 'Went' Jrtrias... Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908-1973), was the 36th President of the United States (1963-1969) and a native Texan from Stonewall. Johnson's sweeping social reforms earned his administration the nickname, The Great Society. Johnson assumed the presidency in 1963 after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on November 22. The Tyler Rose from Tyler, in East Texas, represents more than 375 varieties of roses grown in Tyler. Tyler supplies roses for half the nation, with more than 15 million rose bushes grown commercially every year. Mesquite, Prosopis juliflora, is a hearty tree well known in Texas for its survival in the dryest places. Not all ranchers and farmers appreciate this shade tree, as the tree tends to rob the soil of its nutrients and water. Its beans have been used as a coffee substitute. The Texas State Capitol, in Austin, is the largest state capitol in the nation. It is a beautiful building with a fabulous double dome. More than 15,000 carloads of Texas pink granite were used in its construction. The capitol was constructed by a company from Chicago in exchange for three million acres of Panhandle land. The Bluebonnet, Lupinas texenis, became the state flower in 1901. It is a lovely, blueish flower covering the hills of central Texas from late March to early May. The Rio Grande River is the longest river in Texas. It heads in Colorado and enters Texas at the northwestern corner in El Paso County and flows south until it enters the Gulf of Mexico, forming a boundary with Mexico for almost 1,000 miles. Cotton, alias white gold, brings more than $1 billion to Texas annually. Texas grows more cotton than any other state in the nation. The world's largest cotton gin is in Crosbyton, near Lubbock. It produces approximately 40,000 bales a year. The majority of Texas cotton is exported to Japan. The Ruby Red Grapefruit was developed in the lower Rio Grande Valley near Brownsville, Texas. It is a delicious and sweet variety. Gtrus grown in the Grande Valley area tends to be less acidic. Texas ranks with California and Florida as one of the three leading citrus production states.

Five hundred participants from Texas as well as various other states were involved in the Wagon Train. There were 170 horseback riders and 63 wagons that came through Junction from the Y.O. Ranch en route to the Ethel Spiller Ranch. On a long day, the Wagon Train traveled 25-30 miles and the top speed of travel was 4 m.p.h. Students from the Wagon Train were invited to spend the two days they were here participating in classes at Junction High School. On the first day, all 26 students — kindergarten through grade 12 had class in the Junction Middle School library but dur- ing the afternoon high school students from the Wagon Train were asked to tour the high school. This was a special treat for both students in JHS as well as the Wagon Train students. One Wagon Train student commented, The most interesting part of being aboard the Wagon Train is meeting different and new people.” I think the Wagon Train students helped show us a little bit of our Texas heritage. said Stacy Steiner. It was very exciting.” On the second day, JHS students were invited to tour the Wagon Train school. The Wagon Train school played the part of a pioneer school with wooden desks and antiques but it was also moder- nized with two computers. Watching the Sesquicentennial Wagon Train as it made its way through our area was a special thrill and actually being able to talk to participants to find out what their life was like for seven months was an added bonus. But, the most exciting part of all was knowing that a bit of Texas past was passing through on their once in a lifetime journey aboard the Sesquicentennial Wagon Train.

Sometimes, they visited friends, relatives, or college campuses that weren't all that far away, but went to get away from home and their regular routine. Others really did go far away. Many seniors went to spend their Easter Break at Padre Island which really was a great escape from Junction and their regular routine. The beach, men and the weather were great! stated Stacy Folley. “I finally got a tan and for me that's hard to get.” Senior, Shan- nan Carl went to visit relatives in Houston. “For me it wasn’t really much fun, but it was a break from school and I got out of Junction for the weekend. Travis Murr took a break from school and got out of Junction over Easter Break by taking a trip to Port Aransas. I had a lot of fun while I was at Port Aransas but the only bad thing was that I got a sunburn. An escape from the dull routine, a vacation of any length, to any destination, was always appreciated. It could be for a week, a weekend, or a day to the beach or just to Kerr- ville but it would still be a break in the dull routine. Junior, Edward Anguiano, exhibiting early signs of senioritis, said, I'd like to take a permanent vacation from school until I graduate.

With sponsors such as Mrs. Janice Stockton, Miss Donna King, Miss Gloria McPhail, Mr. Bud Chandler and Mr. Son- ny Williams, the Junior class put forth much painstaking effort to put it all together and give the Seniors a beautiful prom. With the theme being The Best of Times the Junior class decided to center the prom around an ocean; beach type setting: From a 21 foot boat, drawn by art teacher Miss Donna King to pelicans, mermaids, seashells, sand, toucans complete with live birds and plants, the ocean scene was complete. The colors of gray and dusty rose were chosen by the Junior class and the birds, ship and fish net were used to show the colors. All of the Junior class worked hard to complete the decorations by Friday night. They started working about 4:00 every afternoon and sometimes worked until 9:30 or 10:00 every night before the prom. Many of the junior boys, with the help of Mr. Bud Chandler and Mr. Sonny Williams, built a pier as the walkway or entry into the prom. Refreshments consisted of fruit balls made from watermelon and cantelope fixed by, Mrs. Collen Booth, Mrs. Gloria Rios, Mrs. Gloria Abilez, Mrs. Jane Kiser and a fruit tree make out of styrafoam and different types of fruit. The punch was made from pineapple juice and fruit juices. Music was provided by Mr. Toons' a musical DJ Company from Marble Falls.

Then a costume day followed by a Coke party and election day for the 1986-87 officers. The election for new officers was held with Michea Booth and Oscar Abilez running for president; Alan Brawley for vice-president; Ashley Campbell, Susan Martin, Heather Olsen, and Jeannie Randolph for secretary; and Carol Jekins, Laura McGuire, Stacy Stiener, and Janel Stockton for treasurer. Michea Booth was elected president, Alan Brawley vice-president, Heather Olsen secretary, and Janel Stockton treasurer for the upcoming school year. The week was rounded out by a garage and bake sale on Friday. The garage sale was held at the east end of the high school building and the bake sale at Barker s Grocery Store. The Student Council made $321.68 and used the money to purchase curtains for the auditorium.

Whitehead, Mr. Schwarz, Students, Ll Ladies and Gentlemen: The Senior Class of '86 would like to Welcome you. In 1836 Texas took a big step into formal education. We had our fears of going to school and being away from home a few hours just as Texans were afraid of fighting for their Independence. Now, in 1986, Texas is celebrating its Sesquicentennial while we are celebrating an exciting point in our lives. The thirteen students of the original class who are with us today love Junction's Eagle Pride. Through the years we were saddened to see our old friends move away, but greeted new members of our class with joy and thoughts of how to play a joke on someone. There were some memorable experiences along the way. In third grade we all went to the zoo. That was our first school trip and our first taste of what it's like to ride on a hot school bus for over two hours. Another step along the way was our introduction to music. Mr. Gibson's challenge was probably as great as ours as we learned to play our own musical in- struments in fifth grade. We entered Jr. High with all the awkwardness imaginable. Every day there was a new pimple, someone's voice was changing, or you were tripping over your own feet. By the time High School arriv- ed we were ready to spread our wings and fly. We found out our parents' ground rules even if we didn't obey them; however maturity and respon- sibility came with age and experience. Some of our experiences are sad while there are many good ones. They range from having to attend the funeral of a friend or family member to the bus breaking down on school trips. I'm sure the seniors remember the San Antonio trip this year and the bus breaking down before we even left town. On top of that, we had to ride the San Antonio bus to the Mall because the brakes went out on our bus and we had to have the exact change to get on. I don’t think there are any of us who will forget that day. Our memories are precious of Junction High school and the fun we had. We realize tonight how many decisions we have to make: where to go to college, where to work, or what we are going to do with our lives. These questions must be answered in the near future, but with the knowledge we gained from all of the teachers from Mrs. to Mr. Chandler we will be able to make the right choices for each of us. I'd like to thank all the teachers for the support and help you have given each of the seniors through the years. We wouldn't be here tonight if it weren't for your answering ques- tions, listening to sob stories and sen- ding us to the office every once in a while. We have to leave each other, although we are excited about venturing into the world to find out what's in store for each of us. Seniors, Never doubt the impact that you can make on your world. As you leave your class, to step out on your own, remember these words: I am only one, but I am one, I cannot do everything by I can do something and what I can do I ought to do. and by the grace of God, I will do it.

Not just a step into the future but a step of achievement — a maior milestone in each of our lives, as we leave one phase and commence a new one. Our graduating class of 1986 has been together many years and some have been learning together all of their school years. Together, as a class, and as fnends. we have shared so many experiences, that we already have enough special memories to last us a lifetime. These trials and tribulations make us who we are today, both the fun times and the rough times of lessons that we had to learn the hard way. These lessons and experiences have helped us grow to be adults. I feel, though, that we still have so much more to learn. A person really never stops learning in a lifetime. I know that this is a time when we. as graduates, are often in a state of nervous ap- prehension as everyone seems to be boggling our minds with The Future and asking ques- tions such as What are you going to do with your life? But just exactly what is the future? The dictionary says that the future is: A time that is to come, or what is going to happen. I believe that today is the future, that is. the present, which is now existing, or in progress, and being dealt with now at this time. I believe we should set long-term goals, but more impor- tantly. at this turning point in our lives, we need to be the best that we can be at who we are There are many battles to be fought ahead of us, but we can win them all, if we never stop believing in ourselves. I personally want to express appreciation to our parents and our teachers for teaching us to believe in ourselves. We are thankful that we had teachers who cared enough to teach us even when we sometimes didn t want to learn. Our parents now. receive the thanks they deserve, because we were always in a hurry to become adults that we didn't take the time to think and always seemed to take for granted the people we loved the most. We must each strive to be the best that we possibly can. An unknown poet once said, If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Let us go forth and be the very best we can be. so that we may always be proud to be the Senior Class of 1986 Stacy Folley Valedictorian GRADUATION JHS 35 36 jhs THE HOUR FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT Watching the screen intently Dorothy Davis, Rodney Tucker, Shirley Davis and Shonna Doyal listen to instructions.

This was just one of many new rules from House Bill 72 established by Governor Mark White. The juniors held above average in the National ratings for scores on the TEAMS test. As a whole, the class had a 98% passage of both the Mathematics and the Language Arts portions of the test. This was just one of several milestones in the lives of the juniors. The biggest milestone was ordering Senior rings. It was exciting and fun, exclaimed Rodney Tucker. For many students their Senior rings were one of their Christmas presents. Many were astonished at how much a precious memory of high school could be. The juniors also decorated for the Junior-Senior Prom which was held in May. Fund raisers for the juniors were mainly focused around the selling of name-key chains. The class made approximately $1300 from the one project alone. A bake sell also rounded out the fund raisers in hopes for “the best prom ever. The class elected again for the third year Oscar Abilez as their president. Vice- president was Johnston Holekamp. Tina Tomlinson was secretary, and Heather Olsen was treasurer. The junior sponsors were Ms. Janice Stockton, Miss Donna King, Mr. T. A. Chandler, Mr. Sonny Williams, and Mrs. Gloria McPhail.

The new teachers included: Mrs. Joe Ella Whitworth, senior junior English and One act Play; Coach Jim Cren- shaw teaching English and Boys' Varsity Basketball; Coach Jim Hanson teaching FOM, Pre-Alebra, Geometry and coaching Boys’ Varsity football, Coach Milby Sexton teaching Physical Science and health and Head Varsity football coach. A new prin- cipal, Mr. Max Schwarz was also added to the staff, Teaching assignments changed also with House Bill 72 adding more required electives and additional English and Science classes. Mr. Randy Lehmberg and Mr. Jeff Maxwell, agriculture teachers were now teaching one class each of Biology I. New custodians were also added to the staff. Mrs. Nina Gentry and Mr. Robert Harmes were a pleasant addition to the staff. All in all the personnel seemed pleased with the jobs they were doing and the students felt they were learning more than ever before. Working on the comprehension of literature, Mrs. Theola Monroe helps James Stewart with questions over a story they have read in English II, sixth period.

Homework, as a result of House Bill 72, was piled on and tests became more and more frequent, and students of JHS were prepared for the worst. New classes were discussed and in 1986 became a reality. Architecture was taught third period by Mr. Sonny Williams; Psychology was taught by Mr. Eugene Monroe and Mr. Terry Gray taught Band Ensemble. Also, new English classes were added with Coach Jim Crenshaw teaching one class of freshman English, while Mrs. Theola Monroe taught another. More time was devoted to academics with English, history, government, math and reading, being major classes. More emphasis was placed on students passing, and students were only absent if they were desperately ill. Attendance improved, as grades improved. All students had now realized that in order to participate in sports and UIL activities they must exceed limitations and begin excelling in academics. Although students had come to school in 1986 ready for the worst year of all — they strove to accept the challenge of Pride. Encouraged by parents as well as teachers and administrators they accepted the challenge with grace and accepted the responsibility like adults. All students accepted the challenge of the year: The Year of Eagle Pride.

Box 69, Roosevelt. Texas 76874. (915) 446-3034 and a new experience, said Cathy Stewart. Cathy believed the most rewarding thing about being in band was being able to do something with her musical ability. Cathy's musical abilities were not limited. Cathy began playing alto- saxophone seven years ago and had been a member of the band since 5th grade. Cathy has also played piano for 10 years. The road from then to now had brought many honors and achievements. Being elected as band sweetheart was just one of them. Cathy was a member of the flag corps for two years. Her senior year, Cathy served as Flag Lieutenant. Being Flag Lieutenant was a difficult job, but one in which I believe you gain recogni- tion for your efforts., said Cathy. Being elected as vice-president was one the things that Cathy enjoyed most about band. As vice-president, one of Cathy's jobs was to serve as librarian. It s a big responsibility to keep up with the music and to make sure it gets to the right people, said Cathy. After graduation, Cathy plans to go to San Antonio to the Baptist Memorial Hospital to train to become a radiation therapy technologist. BAND jhs 9i mil'llLL: u 'i he most rewarding thing about being in band is when all the work you have done finally pays off,” said Stacy Steiner. L Band members practiced many long hours and put forth lots of hard work for marching contest. They spent every Monday evening for two months practicing from 6:30 to 8:30 to polish their half-time shows and prepare themselves for contest. On October 26, in Brady, the 43 member band marched onto the field with pride, performing for the crowd; Silverado, a drum cadence, and “God Bless the USA. The hours of hard work and energy put forth paid off for the band when their rating of a two was announced. “Most band members expected to get a lower rating because we had to build our band from scratch, remarked Traci Happner. With a new band director and gaining so many new members, the band found that they once again had to learn to work together with the new band director and new members. Doing this, they found a new attitude. The new band director, Mr. Terry Grey moved to Junction from Abilene where he had recently graduated from McMurry College. “It was a challenge to me when I came to Junction to teach, because it was something new, and what I'd always wanted to do, remarked Mr. Terry Grey. Band members also found themselves with a new band hall, I think it's really great, said Jeannie Randolph, it's a much needed improvement and I think the bands of the future will really benefit from it.” Some fund raisers the band participated in were the selling of decorative tins with cookies inside. This fun raiser made $2,110 which was used toward the band's spring trip. They also had a bake sale which made over $100. 92 jhs BAND Listening to the discussions of other flag members, Becky Conner takes a break from afternoon flag practice.

By the time the bus ar- rived at the hotel, the staff was wide awake and ready to attend the schedul- ed sessions. First, the staff looked at the personal awards given to best photo, best copy, best spreads, and theme. The staff spent the rest of the day attending ses- sions on how to put together a better yearbook. Colonel Savage, with his Yearbook entitled Blue Lips was the session most enjoyed by the students. By the end of the final session, the staff was tired from walking on the UT cam- pus. The sessions seemed like ten miles apart, commented Kim McClurg. The staff was tired and ready to go back to the hotel room but most of all they were hungry and ready to go to a restaurant to eat. The evening was spent by the unanimous decision of the students to go to the Magic Time Machine, a popular restaurant in Austin. Standing in front of a fountain at The University of Texas in Austin are.

Everyone enioyed the lounging around while they waited two to three hours for the table to be ready. The students en- ioyed dancing and just watching the characters zooming by. To pass the time, the girls decided which character was their favorite. Some chose Robin Hood while others chose the Cowardly Lion, their waiter for the evening. Finally, the tables were ready and the staff indulged themselves in a Roman Orgy, which was a dinner consisting of beef, ribs, corn on the cob, salad, all the fruit you could eat, and to top it off... dessert. The next day was filled with rewar- ding surprises. The yearbook of 1984- 85 received Tops in their Division and was also awarded the Distinguished Merit Award. Along with the overall award, there were many individual awards. The staff ended their Austin trip by exploring the mall before returning home. Needless to say, the trip to Austin was a magical one. and was a success for everyone involved.

Miss King, the yearbook teacher, found the perfect new members to fit the position. Now it was up to the old staff members to teach the new staff members how it all was done. The new members arrived in class knowing little but wanting to know it all or to do it all. When asked why he wanted to be in yearbook Todd Bannoskwy replied, “I wanted to learn how to operate a camera and learn how to print and develop film Many members join- ed the class just for the experience but some such as Charles Herbst joined the class as he commented, To learn something new and different. The old members found out what they had to work with and started to show them the ropes. In the beginning it was rough, there were comments such as You can t put your fingers on the film or You can t draw the layout like that!” It was hard but once the new members got everything down, Miss King managed to get the whole team working. Everyone or a group signed up for certain sections and those sections had deadlines. The hardest thing to do was to get it all together to meet the deadlines or face Miss King. Some members signed up for sections that had value to them. Shirley Davis ex- pressed the senior section was her favorite to do Because, I am a senior and I want our last pictures to be good.” Other members had personal involv- ment in the sections they chose, “Basketball, Heather Olsen com- mented was her favorite section, because I play basketball. It interests me. Kim Happner enjoys taking pic- tures because, I enjoy catching peo- ple's emotions and expressions that happen once in a lifetime. The feeling of the yearbook members, new and old, as the year- books came in were a mixture of pride, surprise and relief. “I think I will feel relieved and be happy that it is all over and hopefully I can look at it with pride and say I helped with this, commented Stacy Steiner. Although the finished yearbook meant something special and different to each and every yearbook member, all of them were unified and took pride in knowing that they had helped with putting the yearbook together and making it something special. 96 jhs YEARBOOK During first period yearbook, Cecil Conner gets ready to print pictures in the darkroom.

The concensus of the American History students thought that learning about the different conflicts that troubled our great and powerful nation were in- teresting. But the students were divided in opinions of living in the 1800's or the 1900 s. “I believe I would live in the 1900 s because things are more modern,” commented Heather Olsen, By living in the 1800's,'' explained Melissa Evans, people could have seen southern life as it was during the Civil War; something I've always loved to read about. ” Government and Economics were also taken by students. ‘Government is enlightening,” stated Shannan Carl.

The majority of the students agreed that Economics was much harder than Government. Psychology, the study of human and animal behavior, and Sociology, the study of society, were also under the class room direction of Mr. Eugene Monroe.

English and Spanish, two very different languages, yet two very prominent languages spoken by many of the students in Kimble county. Students alike felt that learning English was very important but in many cases felt Spanish was also as important of a language. Junior. Marshall Heap enjoyed his English class. Very surprisingly, he liked doing the research paper most of all. Senior. James Hernandez stated, “I en- joy having a great teacher like Mrs. Whit- worth that is willing to help you as long as you try to do your best. Also, I enioy the small class of four students.” Mariana Holekamp felt that her knowledge of the English language was important because no matter where you are English seemed to be a universal language. Students of Spanish agreed, Spanish was a very important language, especially around this area. Most students agreed that Mrs. Anne Cotterell's class was lots of fun. Many felt that the most fun they had was singing the songs they did in the Spanish language. Melba Ybarra, being of Spanish descent, commented, I want to be able to speak my own language properly and I know I will be using Spanish in the profession I am pursuing, which is to study law. Dorothy Davis felt that people would ap- preciate their own language more if they knew how very hard it was to learn a se- cond language.

'People may not realize it, but math is used every day only if it is to add two plus two.” Rita Enri- quez agreed that math was very important because it would help her do simple tasks, such as balancing her checkbook. Rita stated that it was really not so bad learning the things that were taught in math class. With a total of seven classes being of- fered, students had a choice of Pre- Algebra, Algebra l-ll, Geometry, Fun- damentals of Math, Consumer Math, and Advanced Math. My first classes of math in college will basically consist of Advanced Math Skills, stated senior Shannan Carl. That is why I took advanced math, to enhance my college mathematics grade. Janel Stockton said she enjoyed Coach Hanson's Geometry class. Although she stated she was not very good in math she had learned a lot and had fun in his class. Charles Herbst believed that he would benefit in his future life by taking math and Teri Jetton felt that math would help her later in life even though she was going into the field of designing. All students, whether they enjoyed math or not, remarked that they felt math was beneficial and would help them in their later endeavors. 106 jhs MATH While in fourth period Pre-Algebra, Jerry Stewart happily works binomial equations.

MATH jhs 107 ii IlLili LrLu tl Lll LLI L Li unction High School offered several types of science classes. For those incoming Freshmen, there was Physical Science. And for the upperclassmen other sciences such as Biology, Chemistry, Health, and Physics were available upon request. For two weeks in Health, Car- diopulmonary Resuscitation was instructed by Edie Powell, Georgette Smith, and Sharon Sissell. The Health students become certified for one year after com- pleting the short course. The Health students also learned all the bones and muscles of the body, reciting them aloud to the class. Most Sophomores and some up- perclassmen took the Biology course. Dissecting an assortment of animals, the Biology students learned all the parts from head to tail.” Dissecting is fun,” stated Leann Schmidt. Dissecting led the students to find peculiar things from half eaten fish in the shark's stomach to rotten grasshoppers. To further their learning, many Juniors and Seniors took Chemistry or Physics. Learning how to name and diagram different compounds to making figurines in the lab kept the Chemistry students on their toes. As science students entered Mrs. Karla Boone's lab, they wondered, ' What's that awful smell? Later, it was discovered to be the right thumb of Mrs. Boones after she accidently picked up a very hot, lit burner. Physics students spent much of their classtime in the lab mixing, making, and constructing. When asked why she was in physics, Stacy Folley replied, Because I like it. It's interesting and besides, it's im- portant to learn.” Furthering their education was of vital importance to many students; Although some science classes were electives, many students took them to get a better grasp on new material and to prepare themselves for college. Determining the result of their lab, Jay Par- ris and Stacy Folley clean up some of the instruments in Physics class fifth period.

Becoming absorbed in his magazine, Eric Mayer awaits class to begin and in- structions from Mrs. Emily Bierschwale on what to do during his aide period. tr1 he students that are aides are generally chosen by the teachers. They must be a junior or a senior and have a pretty high standing academically. They must keep their grades high because this is basically an honors position. “Only a few are chosen as aides for teachers.” stated Miss Donna King. JHS students were chosen to be student aides and to assist faculty and staff with their various duties. Duties included grading papers, typing, filing and generally just being errand persons. “I got to actually work with the students for a month helping them recognize subject and verb agreement.” said Melissa Evans. This was an exciting and different duty. Being an aide benefited the students as well as giving them a period without a heavy workload. “I think being an aide has made more business qualified because of all the secretarial work you must do. said Rodney Tucker. There were at least one time during the long school that each aide made a small mistake. Til always remember when I was helping Kelly Clark on the computer and I accidentally hit a wrong key and erased two of her letters. commented Jeannie Randolph. The duties performed by the student aides throughout the year taught them secreterial skills, made them more business qualified and aware of the respon- sibilities they have for other people. Being a student aide was lucky for the chosen few.

STUDENT AIDES JHS ill CCS r1 oday, computers help you get L jobs, and most businesses use some sort of computer, said Shirley Davis. Computers are gradually becoming an important part of our society. Along with Data Processing and Computer Programming, other voca- tional courses offered at JHS were Record Keeping, MOCT, Ag I and II, Drafting, HE, and Typing I and II. Each year at JHS, a wider variety of voca- tional courses were being offered. These vocational courses helped students prepare to be independent in the fast-going technological age. Typing will help me in college, said Norma Sanchez, and later it might help get a secretarial job. Computerized typing was also very important for many jobs today. Students learned many more different things in typing than just how to punch the keys. We block sentences and learn all the basics of typing, said Amy Lovelace, we also learn about posture, the machine, and being able to concentrate. 112 JHS VOCATIONAL After rolling out the dough, Clint Parks and Jay Par- ris learn how to cook in HE.

Architec- ture students learned how to draw houses and then construct a scaled model. They also learned how to use specific instruments for making blue prints. Learning how to draw perspective and different views of homes helped students create their dream house. Drawing the layout for plumbing and electricity put on the finishing touches. While Architecture students were busy making blue prints on the Blue Print Machine, the Drafting class was also learning about specific instruments for construc- ting houses. They also learned about nomenclature and how to read blue prints and scales. Measurements were also very important in Drafting because they had to con- struct scaled models out of cardboard or plywood. The Art classes learned how to make many kinds of pots from clay. “I made a toilet that made a great cereal bowl, said Matt Black. The Art students also learned to make ad sheets, draw western pictures, and learned about mixing paints to find that in- teresting color. In agreement, all the classes stated that they each learned a skill that they could use after high school. Being sure of his measurements, Johnston Holekamp finishes his plans in Drafting class third period. Finishing his house in Drafting class, Kurt Hughitt gets close to his work.

Counting measures, Traci Happner and Amy Lovelace listen to the clarinets at the Christams Concert. Lrgantzations played an important role in shaping the future minds of the students. Clubs helped students develop honesty, devotion, and an overall sense of worth. Clubs that participated in competition were FFA, FHA, 4-H and the Spanish Club. These organizations accomplished a great deal by competing in events ranging from judging livestock to reading poetry in Spanish. While some organizations were into competition, others were busy donating goods and services to the community and to the students of J.H.S. The National Honor Society held a canned food drive. Student Council members were kept busy by restocking coke machine. All of these students performed to such an excellence that they gave a great deal of Eagle Pride to Students and faculty cheering them on. The clubs and organizations of Junction High School worked among themselves to make this year the best ever. No better time than the Ses- quicentennial of Texas did these clubs and organizations feel the need to work together. No better time than the birthday of Texas did they form self-esteem and feel the pride of being a Texan.

One of the benefical projects of the NHS was the canned food drive. Every student in high school seemed to become involved in some way in this activity. All second period classes gathered together and raced to see who could collect the most cans to win the prize of a party. Mr. Eugene Monroe s Americao History class won this honor. His class of 24 collected over 433 cans with a par- ticipation percent of 1,804%. The canned food drive was my favoite activity because it helped the needy on Thanksgiving who other- wise would not have had a Thanksgiving dinner. said Carol Jenkins. Students that were elected to be in NHS generally spent many long hours of studying each week. The time they spent studying each week was worthwhile because by studying, they achieved the high honor of being selected to be on the NHS and gained the respect of classmates. On May 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the Methodist Church Annex eight new members were inducted .into the NHS, as ten old members renewed their pledges. Students realized the importance of NHS as they repeated the pledge, received membership certificates and pins, signed the book and lighted candles. The individuality that these students possessed gained them much respect and honor. Students gained knowledge and experience through NHS that would help them in their future.

Getting the job done had a special significance to the people who belonged to FFA. The members of FFA not only got the job done, but they also enjoyed themselves and learned something in the process. Members of FFA such as Clay Davis and Michelle Kiser learned something about the animals they cared for. “I like animals and I liked learning how to care for them better, commented Clay Davis. Michelle Kiser said. I like caring for animals because caring for them gives me a special sense of pride. Three other members got something very different from each other from being in FFA. Ted Morgan enioyed welding more than anything else. Robert Christenson said that he enjoyed the stock shows the most. Charles Herbst liked learning new things or learning more about the things he already knew. Several members were asked what they enioyed most about being in FFA. Their answers varied greatly. Everything was mentioned from welding to having a supervised occupational experience pro- gram to the stock shows that were at- tended by many members. Mr. Randy Lehmberg, FFA sponsor said, FFA is more than just cows and plows. The primary purpose of the Future Farmers of America is the development of agricultural leadership, cooperation, and citizenship. There were several teams as well as individuals who par- ticipated in contests of leadership, ex- temporary and prepared speeches, and judging. The FFA chapter attended the District FFA Banquet and the Area and State Conventions. FFA was a fun club to belong to, and it provided for a great many people a new experience to enrich their lives forever. Making a wool rack in Ag. Ill class, Charles Herbst welds two pipes together.

The drill team did a pon-pom routine to Relax” played by the Golden Eagle Band. The drill team was a good addition to JHS because it helped raise spirit of students, teachers, and fans. I think when the Drill team performs with the band, it brings even more spirit to the crowd and when everyone sees the drill team making an extra effort to raise spirit, they become more involved, said Carol Jenkins. Activities the pep squad sponsored were the MORP dance and the door decorating contest for Homecoming. Being a member of the pep squad was very time consuming. Pep squad members practiced every Monday through Wednesday afternoons for two vigorous hours of work. During these hours, they learned new routines and worked on improving their old ones. Practice broke into summer break. The girls practiced for two weeks, two hours a day before school started. Pep squad members also had to concentrate on getting their routines to look uniform and together. By raising the spirit of JHS, the pep squad felt all the work they put forth to make a winning show was worthwhile. Together, working as a unit, they could accomplish anything.

It starts with a dream, but on- ly a cheerleader knows how much work, responsibility, and how rewarding it can be. This summer the Varsity and Junior Varsity cheerleaders went to camp at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. They came back not only having learned new cheers and routines, but also the responsibility and work that goes into building school spirit. Free time is unheard L'LLi; LULlLV of in cheerleading. It takes a lot of my free time,” stated Janel Stockton. All the work goes to build spirit; sometimes it doesn't pay to work so hard. Even though there were a few disappointments during this year, there were many rewards. My most rewarding experience was getting to be Junior Varsity Head cheerleader,” said LeAnn Stockton.

No longer I was the team built around the star,'' but was again, as from the founding of this great state, comprised of individuals who gave most of themselves to the cause, whether they were the all-staters or the benchwarmers. In all athletics, whether it be football, baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, cross- country, or track, all sports were composed of more than one player. The students at JHS realized that everyone on the team, from the little guy to the coach was important. They realized that no one individual could make or break the team. Whether it was the team or the individual, the athletic concept was basically the same. Every student from freshmen to varsity players contributed. They gave the best of themselves and all they had, unselfishly, to the team. The athletic depart- ment was the first to introduce the theme of Eagle Pride to Junction students. It was within the realm of the sports world that we learned what teamwork and togetherness could do for a group. As this awareness grew, athletic events took on a new meaning. No longer was the object to win at any cost. Sports became a way to show spirit and honor toward something we believed. Eagle Pride lived not only in our school but in our hearts. No better time than the celebration of the 150th bir- thday of Texas did the athletes feel that now was the time for “Eagle Pride.

ULLliVfc: LL r he main goal for the football L team this season was to make it to the play-offs, but we fell six points short,” said David Rojas. The Eagles started out slow at the beginning of the season but picked up momentum as the year progressed. Loosing to both rival teams. Mason and Menard, set the spirit of the team back. But with the thought that San Saba had beaten Menard earlier in the year, kept Junction’s hopes for a play-off spot alive. They held their heads high with Eagle Pride and trudged toward the play-offs. Eagle Pride and spirit held the team together. Without both, they would not have gotten as far or tried as hard as they did. Team spirit and Eagle Pride are very important because it’s like coach said, “It takes a little guts and a lot of heart,” said Lee Warden. Though Junction ended 4-6 for the season, the scoreboard did not really show how well the Eagles played. Pride and determination were the last flames that pushed them to beat San Saba 40- 14 and end the season on a winning note.

It means go- ing 100% on and off the field and taking pride in what you do.” The most important thing that a football team needed to be suc- cessful was a good defense, a kick- ing game, and an offense. Also, discipline and leadership were big factors in winning a football game. But, as far as winning, the team must work together and have the deter- mination to want to win. Coach Hugh Doyal said that, of course, ability always helped. Although the football team was young and did not have a highly suc- cessful season, the players did suc- ceed in every other aspect. Team- work and spirit did seem to be the key to a successful season for the JHS Varsity. Disagreeing with the referee's call.

In order to win, the J.V. players agreed that everyone needed to strive for teamwork and spirit. The players chose sophomore Steve Smith and freshman Charlie Gibson as the most spirited players. Consensus agreed the best game of the '85 season was against Early. The Eagles won 21-14. The coaches said, en- couragement and sometimes getting mad helped build the spirit and pride in the players. Players seemed to stive together and felt that teamwork and determination was most important in the winning factor. Coach Jim Crenshaw felt that in order to have a successful football team the players needed unity of purpose, and confidence in each other.

I only wish we could have gone far- ther and won more games, said Heather Olsen a junior on this year's team. Michea Booth also added winning was most rewar- ding. In fact, the team was working for the district playoffs but fell short, coming in third in district standings. The Eagle girls did play well though, and all agreed their toughest game was against Big Lake in the Ozona Tournament. Michea Booth said, Big Lake was our toughest game because they were so prepared and were rated fifth in the state. The Eagles were only defeated by Big Lake in a very tough game 47-42. The girl's team had some advantages. “The height advantage was obvious in most games, said Kim Happner. Shonna Doyal is probably one of the tallest players in the district.” Heather Olsen commented, We did have the potential but couldn't get our heads into basketball.” The season ended with a group of disap- pointed and discouraged girls but they learned a lot about basketball and more about sharing joys as well as sorrows. The outlook for the next year was good with the team only losing one senior starter and having so many junior varsity players that matured because of teamwork and just plain having respect for each other as a person.

Asked if the team met their goals. Coach Jim Crenshaw stated a simple yes but junior player Marshall Heap said nothing. Instead he said, I can t wait until next year. The season started well with the boys eager to learn and throughout the season they kept the attitude of eagerness to learn and they developed the belief that they could beat anyone if they played to their potential. The team agreed the most exciting games were both against Menard with the Eagles winning the first and losing the second 67 to 62 in three overtimes. Marshall Heap said, The most rewarding part of being on the team was playing with my friends. Marshall also said that what made the team special was the new, younger players. Coach Jim Crenshaw was new to Junction this year but his en- thusiasm kept the team spirited and helped the boys to have the desire to win. He said although the boys had an eagerness to learn, he felt that if they were really serious about basketball they needed to play more in the off season. He and the players also held the belief that the team could beat anyone if they played every game the very best that they could.

The J.V. girls ended the season with an 8-7 record. As for the Junior Varsity boys, the boys got to play a lot and learned, The most exciting game was against Ozona, said Chris Casaday, Ozona was winning pretty bad in the first half but in the second half we nearly came back and won. The J.V. boys ended the season with a 6-11 record. The top scorers for the Junior Varsity boys' and girls' teams were Max Schwartz, 119 points, and Amy Lovelace, 90 points.

Players get more out of a victory when they play up to their ability. They don't learn as much when they win and do not play their best. The most difficult task that Coach Wasmer had this season was to get his players to practice with 100% effort. Learning new habits and breaking old ones, learning how NOT to get discouraged when players were losing and to never quit were other difficulties of the team. A more consistent level of all of these will only improve one's whole tennis game, replied Kurt Wasmer.

WhBn asked if he would have liked to start out in a big school, he replied by saying, No, because there are a lot of bigger schools that do not have the interest in tennis as Junction has.

Michea played in the Western Woman's Junior Champion- ship at Lakeway in Austin this last sum- mer. It was a great experience because it made you think about if you seriously want to play golf or not, Michea stated. The girls Michea played against specialize in golf. They play in school and also in their spare time. “It's fun watching someone that can really play golf,” exclaimed Michea. This has been Michea's third year of playing golf. Her biggest problem to over- come in golf is self confidence. Her best score has been a 92 in San Saba. Michea won first in the Junction tourna- ment and also won first in the district tour- nament, shooting a score of 80. From there she went on to regional placing fourth. Michea's most memorable event was telling Shonna Doyal to yell two instead of four. GOLF JHS 159 a Llilltili, LI7 LLLIi trhis year started out with a ‘ bang and ended up with a pop.'' The team was excited and ready to give their opponents a run for their money. Clay Simon was one among a few seniors on the team. Since this was Clay's last year he was asked his feelings about how the year went; he replied, We had a good team but the last half of the season wasn't as consistent as the first half.” Many things happen- ed during the baseball season and as Clay looked back there were many memorable moments. Clay was the hindcatcher for the team. When he was asked why he liked playing in this position as he said, Because you always handle the ball and you can see what's going on. Playing this posi- tion was only half the battle and half of the fun. Clay also enioyed batting bacause as he said, It gets your blood pumping and adrenaline going.” With each new game there was always a new feeling of a challenge. Some games stood out and brought out the best in each player. Clay was impressed with most of the season but the game that stood above all the rest was the game against Ingram. The reason for this was because, “I hit a home run,” Clay commented, And we had a good game. The games, the team, and the sport, Clay Simon would remember and the thing he would always rememer was the game against San Saba where he broke his arm. Clay couldn't partcipate in a few games but he did in the last two regular games in centerfield. Overall, the season went well considering the team won district and continued on to area against Clifton, which was played in Georgetown. Clay could look back and conclude tht the season was a winner.

No better time than the year of the Sesquicentennial had the community been so supportive of present students as well as former students of J.H.S. Starting in August with the Booster Bar-B-Que, the community showed their overall support for the Eagles. During the month of September through April the community showed support for the athletes by attending football games, basketball games and all related sports activities. Individual supporters of the athletic program were Charles Hagood, Floyd Butler and Bob Allen by announcing various sports activities. To help the overall environment of the school, Ed Stewart connected a new public address system that was given to the school from local supporters. But support of the school did not stop there. A major car accident occurred in April very seriously injuring former student Sherri Hobbs Davis. Community members such as Mr. and Mrs. Mike Chamberlain, Mr. and Mrs. Sammy Martin, Jo Brooks, Dwayne and Diane Craig, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Simmons, Jo Youngdoff, Jon Murr, and Mac McMahan, organized a benefit in Sherri's honor raising a little over 4500 to help in her hospital costs and therapy. Many in the community helped in this cause and again showed overall support for former students. Not only was their individual support but overall community involvement. No better time than in 1986 did the community help in bringing about the year of “Eagle Pride.” Handling his horse well, this member of Checking out the new store in town, Mariana Holekamp looks through the window the Texas Wagon Train acknowledges of Helble's Antique Shop at the Oriental wardrobe and layout, shouts from the students of JHS.

Junction, Texas, the heart of the Hill Country was a great place to be to enioy Sesquicentenmal fun. It all started with a poster contest for students sponsored by the Retail Mer- chants Association. Also, a fire hydrant painting contest was sponsored by the Young Homemakers. Each organization that chose to participate was to paint the fire hydrants in Sesquicentenmal colors prior to the coming of the Wagon Train. The Sesquicentenmal Committee, along with the Texas Tech Center and the Chamber of Commerce sponsored a dance on March seventh featuring a twenty-five piece Bavarian Band for Sesquicentenmal fun. The Wagon Train, the big event of the Sesquicentennial celebration, ran through town on March Twelfth stopping at the Hill Country Stadium on their trek from the YO Ranch to the Spider Ranch making their way across the state of Texas. A parade was held through town with the Wagon Tram rounding its way in front of the high school. Many local merchants and organizations made this Sesquicentenmal a special one. The celebration in Kimble County will be one that will linger in minds of many for years to come. lrLLLLrq.VliU.VLliLi.fc fcfcLi.LLLi.fc M W BUTANE Autographs: COMMUNITY jhs 165 lilii lilij liHV tr he community of Kimble County was very active in the year of 1985.

As the hours passed, they knew they had to make the most of everything that was worth while and everything in which they believed. Pride no longer became a word found only in the dictionary, but it began to be a living, breathing substance. It began to live in the minds, hearts, and lives of all JHS students. Freshman began taking pride in their school work and strove to schedule themselves in classes which presented more of a challenge. Sophomores, knowing a great task was ahead of them, worked for more consistency, harder subjects and better study hatjits. Juniors, knowing their senior year was just around the corner, struggled for independence and individuality. And Seniors knew the task that awaited them would be one of the hardest decisions they would ever have to make in their lives. For Seniors, they knew their hour for uniqueness and individuality had already arrived and a great challenge faced them after the night of May 30th. The students of JHS accepted the task ahead as the founders of the state had, and looked toward the future with certain dignity and worth. The students learned that the task ahead would be a strenuous one, but they also knew if men could found a state, the task ahead for them would be a menial one. “Pride had now become the key word in every JHS students dictionary. With a smile on their faces and their heads held high, they knew today, 1986, there was no better time for Eagle Pride.
