We were the circle of unity that shaped, molded, and built the dreams of a school. We shaped the dreams of today, molded the dreams of tomorrow and we will build the dreams of the future. The four circles symbolized our four years in high school and also the four seasons that it took for graduation. School started with a bang for sixty-four freshmen, fifty-eight sophomores, fifty- four juniors and forty-nine seniors. Each student knowing that today was all they had to continue their dreams for tomor- row and dreams for the future. During the summer, superintendent, lames Whitehead and the school board had parts of the school renovated. The ceilings were lowered and new ceiling tiles were added to the school. The auditorium was painted light beige which helped to brighten the look of the auditorium. While the school was chang- ing, most students spent their summers swimming, getting suntans or going on vacations. Some also worked during the summer. Fall came and with it brought the return of school. This meant another year full of football games, homework, UIL events and all other occasions associated with school. The air became a little crisper and the leaves began their normal change of color. Winter brought the Christmas season. Christmas was enjoyed by the young and old alike. It also meant a vacation for students. Some spent the vacation skiing while others just enjoyed being out of school. Spring meant a change of weather once again. During spring, UIL events were held and also the One Act Play was per- formed. Spring was a special season because it brought the prom and graduation. All of the seasons brought about the pursuit of each student's dream. The students lived and completed their dreams for today. Their dreams for tomor- row were becoming closer to reality and their dreams of the future were being bet- ter realized. Sponsored by PAKS CORPORATION EMPLOYEES P.O. Box 625, 446-3366 STUDENT LIFE 3 A Iways, there will be a dream to entice the adventurous, the bold, the compassionate — the one willing to leave the beaten path to explore. A will o' the wisp leading man ever on to new and greater achievements, thrilling him with a promise — a promise of new discoveries. But even pioneers have a base, a background, a broad pool of knowledge from generations that proceed him. The knowledge that students at ].H.S. gained started today. From the opening of school to graduation, students strove for something great, to be able to realize their dreams of tomorrow. This unconscious idea, which the J.H.S. students fulfilled through their various clubs and extracurricular ac- tivities, helped mature and develop them so they could acknowledge their dreams for today while building the foundation for tomorrow. Such minor happenings, from Fri- day spirit days to decorating for the prom helped bond the students together while building each into an individual. This bond carried over to the classroom, out on the practice field and into the commencement ceremonies causing J.H.S. students to realize the pride they hold in their school and as a student in general. Their pride showed how the students of Junction High could work today for their lives tomorrow, in pursuit of their dreams. With hope and aspiration for today, members and coaches of the varsi- ty football team accept their responsibility of Eagle Pride. Members of the Eagle Team are: (Back Row): Coach Ron Hubby, Coach Kurt Wasmer, Coach Thomas Han- son. (Middle Row): Max Scwartz, Alan Brawley, I u a n Alvarez, Matt Black, I e r r y Stewart, and Ranee Roberts.

Sponsored by ROWES CHEVRON IH-IO 83, 446-3102 J Sym C7 he Eagle as the mascot and J black and gold as the school colors have been long standing traditions in junction. These two traditions are symbols of Junction spirit and Eagle pride. People sometimes wonder now the Eagle became known as the mascot and black and gold as the colors. In the early 1900's, our school colors were purple and white. Then the colors became red and white. The student body voted to change the colors to black and gold in 1926. The Eagle became tne mascot in 1925 because the newspaper office was called The Eagle.'' Thus, the foot- ball team became known as the Eagles. Many other traditions have been developed over the years and now are a very important part of the school system. Football games and pep rallies wouldn't be the same without the playing of the school song, The JHS Alma Mater, by the Golden Eagle Band. This song touches everyone in a special way. After every football game, it is tradi- tion for the football players, cheerleaders, pep squad members, and fans to form a prayer circle in the middle of the field. At each pep rally, football players give a spirit award to a deserving person. This became a tradition all JHS students looked forward to. Graduation was a tradition that all students remembered about their senior year. Weather permitting, graduation was held each year at the Hill Country Stadium. Tradi- tionally, boys wore black robes and girls wore gold robes. Seniors made a circle around the flagpoles and tossed up their hats. This was a much loved tradition. So many traditions have been developed over the years that they have become a very important part of the school. Traditions bind JHS together. Whether they are old traditions or new ones, they all were very important to our school system.

For sophomore candidate Sherry Sut- ton, homecoming was a surprise. She remarked, Since I am a newcomer at Junction High School, it made me feel welcome and really great to be chosen to represent my class. Senior candidate Michea Booth said, I was very surprised the senior class chose me because I was a candidate my sophomore year. With halftime activities underway, the candidates, their parents and the foot- ball fans were delighted to hear Alan Brawley, junior student council member call Michea Booth's name as the 1986 Homecoming Queen. Michea stated after the presentation, “I was really shocked, that's all! As the night went on, the Student Council threw a smashing homecoming dance, with food provided by the stu- dent council members and music by Oscar John Abilez. The Eagles also added excitement to the night by beating the Johnson City Eagles 37-8. The score placed the Junc- tion Eagles one step closer to a district runner-up and a showing in a bi-district game. After all the celebrating and clean-up, the Junction High School Student Body agreed that Homecoming '86 was a special night to remember. The candidates and escorts include: sophomore Sherry Sutton and Ranee Roberts; senior Michea Booth and Marshall Heap; junior Christie Zieters and John Bynum and freshman Stacy Martin and Chad Taylor. 8 HOMECOMING With a solemn expression, Lee Warden listens to the captains talk during the homecoming pep rally, as Ranee Roberts and Skip Campbell watch.

But others had to rise sometimes as early as five A.M. because of chores that had to be done on the ranch. When mornings were mentioned to students, usually a groan came in reply. Carol Jenkins had this to say, I hate mornings because it's so hard to get going. Once I get going. I'm ok. Most students were awakened to the buzz of an alarm clock while others had one of their parents wake them up. My mom wakes me up, said Michelle Kiser, it's the easiest way for me to get up. On the other hand, some students liked mornings. It gave them time to get their thoughts together. I like some mornings, said Stacy Steiner, especially Friday's because it means the start of the weekend. Rising to meet the challenges of the day was an easy task for some yet hard for others, but all students managed to conquer the wee morning hour blues to arrive at school ready for the day. Taking in the warm sunshine David Rojas en- joys a relaxing moment in Government class, fourth period. STUDENT LIFE n 1 he years and times have all changed but the look of the 50's is back. Many of the people liked the style of the 50's. “I like the style of the 50's, but I like the western style now ' remarked Melissa Evans. One of .the new styles are plaids, “Guess jeans, solids, and many different lengths of skirts. “Peach and aqua are some of my favorite colors together, stated Holli Heap, Yellow and red, replied Kim Happner are my favorite colors together. It seems today that all colors work together regardless of whether red and yellow clash. Although the 80's style is now, the 90's are making people wonder what the look will be. Bar- bi Taylor gave her opinion about the 90's, I think they will start wearing paper clothes in the future to keep from washing. People just do not have time any more to wash clothes. Missy Brooks remarked, The 90's will have the space look. There are many styles being worn and many more being designed. Michea Booth stated, I mostly wear the instyle clothes but not where I am like everyone else. Jeannie Randolph said, I think that in Junction the styles are mostly still country, but some girls are going to the city look. I Tike some things, but I prefer the coun- try styles 100% better. There are many different looks and opinions for the 80's. The 80's style is “you, but who knows what the future holds. The most popular style of all |HS students. Sporting the pride of all |HS lettermen, Harvey Creenles wears his jacket in first period English II. 12 STUDENT LIFE The western style is still in.

A mix- ture of everyone: students, teachers, mer- chants, townspeople, young and old alike, had Eagle spirit especially on Fridays as they wore black and gold, spirit buttons, waved spirit towels, and cheered with the junction cheerleaders. The preparation for Fridays began on Monday. Cheerleaders used their after school time to paint signs, practice dance routines or cheers and plan the pep rallv.

The look and feel of JHS was different on Fridays. Students wore black and gold, cheers were heard throughout the nails, and the building was decorated to match the spirit. The pep rally was a highlight of a Friday at school. It helped prepare everyone lor the finale, the challenging football game. Fridays were a special and important time at JHS. The happenings on Friday were the highlight of a long school week. It also was special because of the excite- ment in the air and a feeling of togetherness that soared the Eagles to a spectacular football season. As one en- thusiastic fan, teacher and mother.

New tiles and lights were added to the auditorium, classrooms and halls during the summer so that when the students resumed classes, their working facilities would be more adequate. The faculty believ- ed these renovations would make a better learning facility for the students. A new computer room, a new library, and a biology lab were plan- ned to make more room and to give the students a more sophisticated school. I think the new library, computer room, and biology lab will do a great deal for JHS. The new computer room will not only offer more advanced courses, but also better computer hardware, said Brad Sutton. The future students of JHS will no doubt be affected by these renova- tions. They will have a better, more modern environment in which to learn. I believe these changes will help the future students of JHS because they will have a better at- titude toward JHS and have more pride in it, commented Juan Alvarez.

The slide presentation was a new idea that stirred enthusiasm in the students. It was put together by the Booster Club and narrated at the 1986-87 Football Banquet by Mrs. Opal Roberts. Mrs. Roberts closed the presentation by saying A winner never quits and a quitter never wins. The guest speaker was Mr. Bob Wright. Mr. Wright is the Assistant Director for Field Ex- periences in charge of student teachers, and teaches Elementary Education at Texas A M University. Without football, commented Mr. Wright, you would have no other way to prove yourselves. Mr. Wright knew Coach Ron Hubby personally and told the audience interesting stories about the dedication of Coach Hubby, stated Courtney Caudle. The decorations showed the team from the beginning to the end of the season. Kim Happrer said, The decorations were cute and brought back many memories of the year. The 1986-87 Football Banquet was a mixture of hard work and dedication. It proved once again that Eagle Pride always shines through.

FOOTBALL BANQUET 19 O,ime of One A Own J fter finishing my homework, my -friends and I get together and relax, replied Renee Nixon. Most peo- ple like Renee have many things to do such as: running errands, homework, and being with friends. There are other people who practice after school which take up much of their time. Courtney Caudle is one of many people who have basketball practice and have errands to run after school. Although others may not have homework or errands to run, they are left with hobbies. Playing the piano, riding horses, cooking, sewing, reading, writing letters, and 4-H, quoted Jean- nie Randolph, are the hobbies that oc- cupy some of her time. In Melissa Evans, Susan Henry, Amanda Weaver, and Shelia Clark spare time, they attend aerobic classes on Monday's, Tuesday's and Thursday' from 5:30 to 6:30 at The Baptist Church.

Competing on March 27th in the UIL District meet, members travel- ed to Fredericksburg. Although they were not successful in their performance to go on to Regional competition, they made a good showing by placing 4th in District competition. One person was selected to all star cast and two students were given honorable mention. It seems such a shame that we work so hard for something and only perform it one time. That's why I decided to let the students do the play for the school, said Mrs. JoElla Bolt. This is exactly what the students did. On April 9th at 6:30 P.M. the cast and crew once again performed Bus Stop for the students and parents. There was an overwhelming response and all agreed that it was a job well done.

Frank was quoted as saying, I am really an independent person although I do miss my family and friends. I have enjoyed living in Junction. While staying in Junction Frank participated in football as a Junior Varsity player. Learning all the rules of the game was the hardest part, stated Frank. Some of Frank's hobbies were rowing, handball, bicycling, jogging, and reading. Rowing is the sport he missed the most. German schools are different from American schools. In Germany they cannot choose the classes until the twelfth or thirteenth grade, and they do not have classes after lunch. After high school Frank will attend two years of the ar- my in Germany, which is required, then enroll in a university.

Although most seniors were sad to be leaving, the new car was a little comfort. Oscar )ohn Abilez's brown Ford Mustang became a common sight about half-way through the year. Shortly after that, Jeannie Randolph's red Buick Le Sabre showed up to brighten the street. Quite a few of last years sophomores and juniors came to school with new, but not-so-new, cars last year, too. The most common place for finding these new automobiles was on Main Street; at any hour of the day. Another place was on the other side of the dam: in the mud. Billy Bob Castleberry's red Nissan 4x4 was found over there quite often after a storm, as was Missy Brooks' Wy Car Chrysler Cordoba. Most students at J.H.S. agreed that the best thing about having their own vehicle was being able to go anywhere, anytime, without having to bum rides. Jamey Newbury commented, I wouldn't be able to do anything without my truck. It's like a second home. Another common feeling among licensed students was, as Kim Happner stated, No, it doesn't run well, but it runs. The most favored cars among students were sports cars, for example, the lroc-Z28 and the Monte Carlo SS. Second favorites were pickups, with double cab cooleys dominating. Overall, one of the most important things to J.H.S. students were their cars. Seeing something amusing, Billy Bob Castleberry and Tony Martinez keep an eye on their surroundings.

Knowing Jt was a hot, sticky September day as the football team lined up on the seven yard line. The quarterback gave the signal and was snapped the ball. There was an insistant yelling from the crowd; everyone chanted in unison GO, BLACK, GO. The quarterback spotted an open receiver and fired the ball to him. The crowd went wild, as the Eagles scored their first touchdown of the season. Two boys poured over their open books that surrounded them. One found an important fact; they congratulated themselves, wrote it down and continued their research on a debate topic. Their dream was to be the best cross-examination debate team in the district. Spirit is hard to define, said senior Mar- shall Heap, but even the elementary kids know what it is. The hush in the crowd before a free throw was shot, the tears of joy as the Eagle football team advanced to Bi-district play, the admiration the students participating in U.I.L. Literary received after winning the district meeting, are all different situations yet they are all the same because they were built and supported by spirit, said Susan Henry. Whatever the occasion, spirit shined through to guide the student body. From hot August two-a-days to endless work in the classroom to graduation, the students singlemindedly pur- sued spirit never knowing what form it would appear in next. The teachers may have had to remind stray- ing athletes of the duties in the classroom, and the coaches may have had to remind straying athletes of their duties on the playing field. But both athletes and students did their best t ecause they knew how important spirit was in every field. Spirit was a major factor for the school year and the students promoted spirit with all their hearts. Spirit was a hard word to define but anyone who pulled up at Hill Country Stadium around 8:00 on a Friday night could hear spirit, see spirit, and even feel spirit.

For the seniors it meant a new beginning and for the juniors it was the excitement of next year's prom as seniors. But behind all of the glamour, there were a lot of memories and hard work that made the 1987 prom what it was. The junior class spent hours deciding on the theme. They final- ly came up with the appropriate ti- tle Shot Through The Heart. They believed that it best describ- ed them and they thought it was a catchy theme that everyone would remember. They chose blue and silver as their colors and worked long afternoons decorating. The decorations were carefully chosen to match the theme. There were silver hearts hanging from the ceilings, blue heart balloons as table decorations and a blue ac- cented light shining over a sign that read Shot Thru The Heart. All the decorations blended together perfectly and the feeling of being shot through the heart fill- ed the Youth Center. As the students arrived at the Youth Center, where the prom was held, there were permanent smiles on their faces. They laughed and reminisced while waiting in line to have their pictures taken by Mrs. Pat Davis, a teacher in the Junction Middle School. The students, along with their sponsors, Mrs. )an Ethridge, Mr. Thomas Hanson, Mr. Gene Monroe, Mr. Jim Crenshaw, Mrs. Emily Bierschwale and high school secretary Ms. Riki Dick decided on having a Disc Jockey play music because of the variety of music everyone could dance to. I really enjoyed the music at the prom because I like to dance to all dif- ferent types of music, said Melissa Evans. The refreshments at the prom consisted of chips, dips, sand- wiches and cold drinks. There was plenty of food to go around with the extra help of the junior class mothers.

We are gathered here tonight to witness the graduation ceremonies of the senior class of nineteen eighty seven. We are graduating from high scnool into the big world. Many of us will strive for success and fame, but tonight I will speak about one thing we have all shared and should be the basis of all our future endeavors. I am talk- ing about happiness. Many of us have thought about what we are going to do after we graduate, but in the past few weeks the seniors have thought about our fondest memories of function Schools. I believe that those happy moments are the basis of our lives. Everybody starts remembering their first day of school, recess and all the running and laughing. The nice feeling of making a good grade or being first in a race always comes to mind. Meeting new friends along the way, and passing notes to the girl or boy across the room made school fun. Going from elementary to junior high was a big step for all. But once again, the new exciting feeling of being in the band, or playing on a team in P.E., or being with the older people made a fourth grader forget all his fears about school. In the seventh and eighth grade, sports made the guys feel good about themselves, and the girls could cneer for their team. Be- ing twelve and thirteen was a neat kind of weird, because the boys and the girls ac- tually started liking each other! Then the thought of high school came. J4appineAA All the junior high teachers said how hard high scncx)l was going to be and how it would lx a big step. Well, it was a big step. But with this new adventure came many new people and many things to do. Being a freshman wasn't easy, but the thought of being a big high schooler made you feel as if you were somebody. With high school came many new changes. The thought of finally getting to drive was a thing in itself. Meeting new friends, going out, doing crazy things in class those are the things which make high school a place youvll never forget. Unfortunately, with happiness there has to be sadness. Along the way we've ex- perienced many sad events. We've all seen world, U.S., and local tragedies. We've lost some close people along the way. The thing, though, that has pulled us together is the close ties with one another. Happiness is the main element of life. It is a feeling that can never be replaced. As many of us sit here, we are happy that we are finally graduating. But witn that joy there is the tear of stepping out into the real world a vast region we are now prepared to explore, (unction has prepared us very well, and we will miss its tun memories most of all. Happiness has helped all of us go up those giant steps that have come about in our lives, and we must realize that finding happiness will continue to help us over- come many more giant steps to come in our future, lust as we feared going into junior high and high schcx l, we fear going into the world, but just as we've experienc ed many wonderful times in school, we will ex- perience many more after tonight. Whatever we decide to do in life, we must be happy doing it. There is no substitute for being happy. Money, fame, and success is great, but it has no value without joyfulness. For a person to be truly suc cessful he must en|ov what he is doing This takes hard work, out all of us have worked hard to be here tonight. If we are satisfied with what we are doing, then that is what counts. We must do things for ourselves and not for others. I can only hope that joy, inner peace, and happiness will continue to come to everybody here tonight and especially to the senior class of 1987.1 think it will, too! Life is like a stairway with many giant steps along its path. We must remember that happiness is our legs that help us go up those steps to our highest goals. The Class of 1987 Best of the best and leading the rest. May Gcx( bless all of you and gcxxf night.

Whitehead, Mr. Schward, Students, Ladies and Gentlemen, on behalf of the Senior class of 1987 I welcome you. We are being honorea tonight as the Senior class of 1987. (unction High School has enriched our knowledge and taught us and helped us to under- stand the ba£ic ideas of life. We are also here to accept a reward. Not for capturing Billy the Kid, but for captur- ing hard work, determination, con- fidence, a positive attitude, and many more haracteristics of a truly hard worker. We have caught these things by having them taught to us. We grasped their meaning and kept them stored away in our minds. Our reward is the diploma of graduation. It is a mere piece of paper, but the significance is extreme and is a symbol to all that we have been brought into Oke BestW Be the adult world with the knowledge that (unction High School has given us. We also are being challenged ... We are being challenged to perform the rest of our lives as well as or better than we have thus far. We now must face a new beginning. We, the seniors of 1987 have been taught the virtues of a new beginning. That beginning is the life we must lead after junction High School. You the parents and friends have brought us out of fear of new ideas and complications, like the first day of kindergarten. We began to accept each step of the way, from primary to junior high then on to high school. Each of those steps were only the first of many and foreshadowed each of our steps to come. Now as we leave here tonight we may further realize the importance of your Waiting outside of the Stevenson Center, Charles Herbst readies himself for graduation. Waiting for ceremonies to begin.

Without you, the parents, teachers, and friends, we would not know what it really means to try our hardest. How many more cherry trees would George Washington have chopped down, what would our athletic goals be, and what helped us to make it this far? It was you, mom, dad, teachers, Mr. Schwartz, and Mr. Whitehead that helped to make us what we are today. THE BEST OF THE BEST AND LEADING THE REST THE CLASS OF IUNCTION HIGH SCHOOL, 1987 DENNIS MARSHALL HEAP — SALUTATORIAN GRADUATION 35 hat a year this has been. My senior year is absolutely great,” said Stacy Steiner. Whoever said their senior year was easy ... is an idiot, added leannie Randolph. Mixed emotions about the school year hassled not only the seniors but every other class of students. The juniors debated on prom decorations, their class favorites and homecoming candidates and which class ring they would order out of the many designs. Sophomores chose fund raising ideas and class officers. The sophomores also had to realize that although they were not freshmen anymore they were still underclassmen. The Freshmen 7Nixed Cmoli oni however were given a big decision on whether or not they should go the academic or advanced route to graduation in 1990. With so many disputes over every major topic, the students at J.H.S. finally decided on a few im- portant facts. Favorite movies of the year were Top Cun, Crocodile Dundee, and Police Academy 4. Favorite songs were Shot Through The Heart, Ocean Front Property and the remake of a sixties song Lean on Me. Favorite musicians were Bon Jovi, George Strait, Huey Lewis and The News, and Restless Heart. Finally the favorite actors and actresses were Tom Cruise, Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep, Kel- ly LeBrock and Deborah Winger. Although the freshmen hungered for an upperclassman spot, the sophomores and juniors kept them at lay, knowing the underclassmens day would soon come. The seniors sat back and watched with amusement because they knew also that four years was really a short time to grow and mature. The seniors used their high school years to pursue the goals they established and their dreams of today, tomorrow and forever. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Once this cliche was commonly used. Now it seemed almost forgotten by most except for the students of J.H.S. Showing her Eagle Pride, sophomore leanna Risinger reveals that she is a star.

They were finally seniors and all of their high school years together, soon, would be but a moment in time. Friends grew closer, little things that used to seem unimportant now seemed gigantic. Every pep rally, football game, every little moment was cherished as this group of seniors prepared to face the challenge of adulthood. I feel I've gained a knowledge of how to deal with the outside world from high school, said Michelle Kiser. The seniors also felt that they had gained friends to last a lifetime, responsibility, respect, self- confidence, and a good education. Childhood dreams were remembered as these seniors prepared to leave the nest. My childhood dream was to become a teacher, but I went through about 15 choices until I decided to become a travel agent, stated Melissa Evans. Shelia Hayes commented, When I was a child, I dreamed of being rich and not having to work. I found out that's not the way it works. You have to work hard to get ahead. The excitement of leaving to form a new life for themselves mounted as the seniors made many decisions. Much thought went into the decision of what college to attend, whether to take the ACT or SAT, how many pic- tures and invitations to order and where to hold graduation ceremonies. Assisting the seniors in their decisions were sponsors Ms. Janice Stockton, Miss Donna King, Mr. T. A. Chandler, Mr.Sonny Williams, and Mrs. Debbie Griffin. No matter what problems life would bring to the seniors of 1987, they all felt they could conquer each of them with the knowledge they had gained from Junction High School. Peole say that high school is the best part of one's life, stated Jeannie Ran- dolph. But like I say: 'The Best Is Yet To Come'. SENIORS 39 While reading in English IV fifth period.

As a senior, Stacy enjoyed the great feeling that goes along with knowing that a special time has come — that you're a senior! Two of her most special memories were graduation night and the Junior-Senior prom. One thing I'll miss the most is all of the good times my friends and I have shared, stated Stacy. During high school, Stacy was involved in Spanish Club, Math Club, Yearbook and Band. She received the American Music Foundation Award, the Gold Music Award, and a Band Honors Award. While in band, I en- joyed the bus trips and getting a chance to perform in front of people, said Stacy. In her spare time, Stacy enjoyed riding horses, reading, listening to music, and drawing. After graduation, Stacy plans to attend college at New Mexico State University in Carlsbad, New Mexico and study to become a nurse. When I was five, I wanted to be a firefighter, but as I grew up, I decided to help peo- ple by becoming a nurse.

Jhe 'ear “ eturning to Junction after a year AC away was a big adjustment for me because I felt trapped. It's good to see my old friends again and to hear about the year I missed, but I feel sad knowing that I've made friends whom I'll never see again. All in all, if I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't do a thing differently. So far, it's been the best year of my life, said Glen Coleman. Glen spent a year in Australia as the Rotary exchange student. Glen believes that school in Australia resembles a college schedule because they are more struc- tured and more formal. I decided to become an exchange student because I wanted to see the world and because I felt I needed new experiences, com- mented Glen. During high school, Glen participated in track. One Act Play, and Debate. Glen also received the honor of going to regional debate his freshman and sophomore years. Following graduation, Glen plans to attend college.

For relaxation, Oscar enjoyed drawing, listening to music, sleeping, swimming, riding his bicycle, or playing sports. Sports were a big part of Oscar's life. He enjoyed playing football, baseball, tennis, and basketball for fun as well as for competition. He was honored with the Paul Bynum Memorial Fighting Eagle Award his senior year in football. Other activities that Oscar participated in were National Honor Society, Student Council, FFA, and UIL Science. A uni- que experience for Oscar was serving as class president his freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years. My childhood dreams were to be rich and successful. Those dreams have changed a little, but not much, because I now realize that happiness is the most important thing you can have, commenteo Oscar.

I enjoy being a senior because I know it is the end of nigh school and that I will soon be out to go on with my life. I will always remember my senior photos and graduation, and of course my friends, but my most special memory will always be winning Miss Congenialtiy at the 1985-86 Pecan Show, commented Theresa. During high school, Theresa also par- ticipated in pep squad and was titled Class Favorite her senior year. Hobbies of Theresa's are cooking, listening to music, making friends and spending money. I always wanted to be able to graduate from school and make my parents proud. Therefore, my dreams have not changed, but are coming true, said Theresa.

Being an upperclassman and telling freshmen what to do is the thing I like best about being a Junior, said Susan Martin. While some enjoyed their up- perclassmen status, others entertain- ed the thoughts of next year. I en- joyed the thought of only one more year, commented Courtney Caudle. Along with the thoughts of next year, many students dreamed of having straight A's to end their junior year. Wnen asked what some of their favorite subjects were and why, there were many different answers. Many of the responses were English. Some of the students liked English because of the teacher and others just because it was fun. Kim Happ- ner liked English because, Mrs. Ethridge is a fantastic teacher ; whereas, Kelly Clark Martin liked English because, We are all juniors and we have a great time. Other favorite classes included chemistry, teachers' aide, and athletics. For the junior class of 1987, there was a wide variety of hobbies. The hobbies went from fishing and hun- ting to being an active FHA member; from playing tennis to socializing. Whatever was said about the Juniors, one always had to add the word active. Representing the junior class as of- ficers were: Christie Zieters, Tate Bannowsky, Kim Happner, and Jamey Newbuty. The junior class favorites were: Frank Frietsch and Amy Good- man. Assisting the Juniors in their choices were sponsors: Mrs. Emilie Bierschwale, Mr. Jim Crenshaw, Mrs. Jan Ethridge, Mr. Randy Lehmburg, and Mr. Gene Monroe. The junior class of 1986-87 was a class of versatility. Individuals in their hobbies, kinds of music, subjects of study, and personalities. The junior class was a class to be taken seriously, especially in their thoughts of becom- ing seniors one day. 48 JUNIORS The 1986-87 Junior Class Officers are: Christie Zieters, secretary; Tate Bannowsky, treasurer.

In 4-H, Tate received Reserved Champion for his cross-breed sheep at the Houston Live Stock Show, and Rodeo. In FFA, he received an award for his sheep.

When asked if she thought her junior year was harder or easier than her sophomore year Geneva said, “I think it was kind of easy because I really didn't have any hard classes. My favorite class was teacher's aide. I enjoyed being an aide for Mrs. Emily ecisions Bierschwale because she was really a nice person. Geneva's hobbies included being an active FHA member, swimming, fishing, and watching the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears on television.

Our football team started it, now lets keep it up, commented Ray Rojas. Hobbies of Ray's included fishing, hunting, dancing, listening to music, and hanging out with friends. His favorite rock group was Whodini because one of tneir songs had a great meaning about life. Ray's favorite class was chemistry because it was challenging.

Courtney also had the Year- book section, MOCT section. Girls' Varsity Basketball, Administra- tion Cafeteria Custodian sections, and Homecoming section.

Sophomores had a pact with their sponsors that they would all contribute $5.00 each year and have enough money rais- ed by the end of their junior year to have a nice prom for the Seniors. “When everyone works together in a class, I believe it br- ings the class closer together because they have shared something, said Sophomore class president Ranee Roberts. The Sophomores felt as a whole that their classes were more dif- ficult than their freshman year but knew they were one step closer to graduation. Classes such as English II, Biology, American History, and Geometry helped Sophomores get the most out of their education. Homecoming queen nominee was Sherry Sutton and her escort was Ranee Roberts. The Sophomore class chose Ranee Roberts as their president, Traci Davidson as their vice president, Holli Heap as secretary and Charlie Gipson as treasurer. The Sophomore class favorites were Holli Heap and Jason Bannowsky. Now on the road to their future, the Sophomores excelled over all in their classes and put forth more effort.

Jason is also a member of 4-H and stated he liked to go to the different stock shows around the area. He also stated he liked the shows because he got to meet new people from places other than where he lived. Jason felt he had accomplished much during the year because he had done well with the judging teams in 4-H. One of my most memorable ex- periences was going to 4-H round-up at Texas A M and doing well on the wool and mohair judging teams.

Keith felt his most memorable experiences in football was being moved up to varsity, during the playoff game. Going to the state play-off game in a greyhound bus, exclaimed Keith, was another memorable experience and the most enjoyable thing that happened this year! Keith enjoyed football most out of all sports. Football is very challeng- ing, physically, as well as mentally. His favorite subjects were Biology and Geometry.

As a freshman you have many things to ac- complish and pursue. Usually as freshman you do not start thinking of the future because you have four years to decide what you would like to be when the time arrives. The sponsors for the freshman class were Mrs. Ann Cotterall, Mr. Randy Lemburg, Mrs. Joycelyn Hepbern, Mr. Dean Ball, and Coach Ron Hub- by. The sponsors helped out in many ways by giving ideas and a helping hand when needed. I think I will remember my classmates the most out of my freshman year, stated Canon )ones. The first day and almost getting lost is what I will remember most, quoted Ricky Skaggs. All the freshman will remember at least one thing from their first year in high school and many more times of their high school years.

Now we have to fight for our rights. John also commented, But high school is fun because it has a lot more spirit and more action. As freshmen the students like class better than the others. John's favorite class was science because he liked Mrs. Boone's points and reasonings although he really enjoyed arguing with her. Everyone had their own goals and ambitions and John's goals were to never set them too high and be as good as he could to make himself. John remarked, I push myself to the limit in almost everything I do and I am proud of what I succeed in.

Junction High School was a new starting place for many teachers. Added to the staff were: Mrs. |an Ethridge, English II and III, Correlated Language Arts II and III; Mr. Charles Turner, band director; Mrs. Debbie Griffin, librarian; Mr. Ron Hubby, athletic director; Miss Sharon McFarland, J.V. girls' basket- ball, cross-country, track, Introduc- tory Biology; and Mrs. Laura Deiss, cheerleaders and pep squad sponsor. House Bill 72 affected Texas schools last year just as much as it did the year before. Mr. Eugene Monroe said that he was rather disappointed with the Texas legislature because it took so long for a bill like this to be passed. Although it did pose a threat to some athletic participants, it en- couraged students to study harder and pass all their courses. Texas teachers were also required to pass a test last year. The Texas Ex- amination of Current Administration and Teachers test, also know as the TECAT, was given to teachers all over the state in March. Although most teachers did not like the idea of being tested outside their major field of study, the majority of Junction High School teachers passed. New teachers, along with the old, made last year a year to remember and although there were changes, they still strove for excellence of pro- ducing fine quality education for all students. 78 PERSONNEL Seeing something wrong on the field.

After 26 years of teaching at Junction High School, Mr. Chandler said — you know you are a teacher when ... you miss school during the summer! The one thing Mr. Chandler enjoyed most about his job was the fun of sharing with young people a few insights into the most ex- citing field of knowledge.

Mrs. Ethridge received a double major from Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos. At Junc- tion she taught English II and III and also Correlated Language Arts II and III.

She has spent the past seven years working in the High School. The people that I have had the privilege of working with have been some of the best friends anyone could have, Mrs. Abilez stated. She said the most in- teresting thing about her job was meeting and work- ing with many different people and learning the many details of running a school district. Along with all these jobs, Mrs. Abilez enjoyed spen- ding time with her family, getting involved in the ac- tivities her children participated in, and doing church work. She also enjoyed playing tennis, when she found the time.

CUSTODIAL STAFF 87 T7 oo much homework! was a common complaint among the students of J.H.S. Although the teachers kept dishing homework out, the students found ways to avoid staying up to all hours of the night writing English paragraphs, com- pleting lab reports and alphabetizing note cards. Favorite solutions to this age old problem was waking up early to do it in the morning, working on it in spare time of other classes and some English students took the book they had to read down to the dam ana enlightened their minds while . rromewori darkening their bodies. Academics took on a new perspec- tive with students. Instead of the 'I have to do it' their seemed to be more 'I want to' in their attitudes. I really hate homework, said Leann Schmidt, but if I want to make good grades and understand what the teacher is talking about, I need to do it. More than 10% of the student body achieved an A grade point average proving that academic studies became more popular. Lec- tures and class work became more in- volved but homework was the key to junction's success. A favorite quote of Mr. T. A. Chandler was .. first you hear, then you see, and then you do... it's the only way to learn. Academics also became important because in order for students to play sports they had to make the grades and sports were important in a small Texas AA high school. Tomorrow students of J.H.S. will look back on the homework, sneer and pass on, never knowing, how committing themselves to studying, changed their lives.

THE WISHES FOR TOMORROW 89 Trying to be perfect, Melissa Evans and Susan Henry lead the clarinet sec- tion as the band practices for Solo and Ensemble Contest. teaching TJeiv J4eiqkti r “ Q think we do the best we can, said Cecilia Ramon Perez. You can't ask for more! I feel our halftime show gets better everytime. said Ross Cashman. Every member seemed to agree the more they practiced marching and playing, the better their halftime show became. One of the goals of the band was to have a better halftime performance than the opposing school. This sometimes proved difficult with award winning bands like Eldorado or Comfort but the Eagle fans traveled out of town and supported the Golden Eagle Band to do their best. The best was what the band strived for but some people had other reasons for joining the band. I enjoy being part of a club, said Susan Henry. Melissa Evans added, I like the closeness of friends because I'm a senior and it's my last year. I get more privileges now that I'm on top. The band, once more, had a new director to follow but the students felt it was a chance for the better. Ross Cashman said, I feel we got a good deal this year. We've got a great man for a director. Some students said that they wished this was the last change for a while. I think changing directors all the time isn't good for the band. We don't know what to expect and we get timid, said Susan Martin. Throughout the whole year, the members of the Golden Eagle Band practiced, improved and strived to reach their goals. Dreams of the future were in their reach and the fellowship of the band grew to new heights. No matter what others may have rated the J.H.S. band. Eagle fans knew in their hearts that they were number one. 90 BAND Shaping the backbone of the band, Charles Connor and Mike Biese add depth to the bass sound with their tubas.

The attitude of the Band was the problem in recent years. leannie, a senior member of the band and head twirler for two years, was disappointed with marching contest and most of the halftime shows. We were hoping for a two but I'm not surprised with our rating. The band just wasn't pushed enough for a better rating and the judging was really hard. jeannie feels the band as a whole has adapted to Mr. Charles Turner in his first year at J.H.S. His way of directing was different from past directors but we follow him well now that we are used to his style, said Jeannie. When asked about future bands Jean- nie feels the younger band students need more dedication. Without it their potential is limited, said Jeannie. With the football team advancing to the state playoffs, Jeannie thought she'd be nervous twirling in Southwest Texas Stadium at San Marcos. She remarked, ... I might have been nervous if the stadium was packed but there was not much difference. When asked if she would continue her studies in band; she said no. At Texas A M you have to be in the corps to be in band and I do not want to be in the corps. I do feel though that band has helped me to be part of a group and helped me appreciate and enjoy music. BAND 93 With toUl concentration, Mark Simon plays his bass clarinet in band practice. After practicing long hours for the Christmas concert, Susan Henry gives a tired look to the audience. jCeading tiC l he responsibility and being able to see things come together and work right, said Marc Simon, drum major of the Golden Eagle Band, was the most enjoyable part of leading the band. Marc had been drum major for three years and a member of the Golden Eagle Band since the eighth grade. Not only did he direct the band during marching season but played bass clarinet in concert season. Marc felt the responsibility was a heavy load but said, I thought the attitude of the band had improved from last year and said, Even DL Band though we had a lot of younger players, the band of 1987 was go- ing to the top. Meeting the other drum majors was something Marc most enjoyed because, I met lots of neat peo- ple, he said. The Sonora game was his favorite because Marc said, I know many people in the Sonora band and got a good response when I directed them in a song. Asked if he would pursue a career in band after graduation Marc said, I really have not made up my mind about furthering a career in music. Studying their parts, Ross Cashman, Edward Anguiano and lunior Sanchez keep the beat going in first period band class. 94 BAND Completing his performance, Ross Roper finishes his solo on |oy To The World as flag captain Melissa Evans twirls to the song during the 1986 Marching Contest.

Those early hours seemed to be even earlier when the yearbook staff got ready to board the bus at 6 am on their journey to Austin for the annual Interscholastic League Press Conference (ILPC). The staff, upon arriving at the Holiday Inn-Townlake, changed clothes and rested for a minute before the long afternoon ahead started. Sessions were held all afternoon on the University of Texas campus and students took their pick of where to go first. The sessions ranged from T.V. and radio broadcasting to how to take a good picture. Staff members again enjoyed the antics of Col- onel Savage and his yearbook reviews. Once again, the decision was unanimously made to spend the evening at The Magic Time Machine. Before being seated for the famous Roman Orgy, the staff and other diners crowded the dance floor to pass the time away. An awards assembly ended the second day of the convention, with members of the 1986 staff placing in all but one of the eleven individual categories. The rest of the afternoon was spent wandering around Highland Mall spending what little money was left. The trip home from Austin became awfully slow as the fuel pump on the bus began to act up, but the staff still made it home. After looking forward to the trip and informing new members of what to expect, the staff almost regretted having to come home to their little town.

Drafting, and Architecture may not seem like an academic class compared to the other courses offered, but they are credited courses in the cur- riculum. It is extremely important to those students who enjoy expressing themselves on paper. It might look as if they are of the easier classes offered, but the students who take the classes seriously usually do better than those who are less enthusiastic. The Drafting and Architecture classes spark the imagination of students who are interested in the fields of architec- ture and project drafting.

Art classes give students an ex- cellent chance to be creative. For the really talented, different techniques and methods are available. Shades and contrasts are blended together to produce beautiful works of art. Many award winning works can be seen in the art room. Art gives me the op- portunity to show my creativity and imagination without having to write, said Alan Brawley. Art, Drafting, and Architecture, although not the hardest classes in the curriculum, demand a great deal of concentration and imagination. The skills learned from these classes could provide a healthy living some- day, or just become a release from the everyday tensions of life.

The first contest started at 9:30 in the morning, the last ending at 5:00 in the afternoon; a long day by anyones standards. With a continued lead over Blanco, the Junction team members were apprehensive about the outcome of the overall team competition. When the final contest, Ex- temperaneous Speaking, ended the j.H.S. team had pulled out a win. Junction 179- Blanco 178. It is so exciting that we won, said Martha Ibarra.

Carr Thompson stated, The most remarkable person I studied about was Boss Tweed because he was a man who used peoples taxes to make himself wealthy. There are many important peoole in history that you learn about but you remember only the ones who real- ly get your attention. History itself is pretty in- teresting quoted Frank Fretsch. To make the subject interesting the teacher has to put a lot into it, added Frank. Like most other classes, History had its fun times and as Mike Lovelace stated, My favorite time was watching Coach )im Crenshaw fall asleep. 4 Getting ready to work, Matt Black prepares to do current events in Government class first period. 102 HISTORY COVERNMENT Intent on the conversation, Allison Ragland and Jo Lynne Schoppe listen with anticipation before starting their assignment in seventh period world history.

My favorite character was Pellinor in the story Camelot,” remark- ed Le Ann Stockton he added a little humor to it. Although the characters play a big part in a story if the book is not written well it won't keep the in- terest of the reader. The author kept me interested throughout the story To Kill a Mockingbird' added Kim Happ- ner. Kim's favorite language Arts teacher was Mrs. |an Ethridge. Kim felt that she treated the whole class like adults and really taught her something. Mrs. Monroe teaches us a great deal of things and I guess that's why I like her as a teacher, quoted Canon lones. The story that interested Canon the most was April Morning by Howard Fast. It was a story that coped with reality, Canon stated. Skip Campbell's favorite story throughout nigh school was Anthem by Ann Rancf This story was my favorite because it helped me to see more individualism in a crowd, which was what the story was about. Skip considered himself a fast learner so he understood just about everything in Language Arts. It is easy to learn if you just try; anybody could do it. Junction High School students were required to read novels during all four years of high school. Most students felt that through their Language Arts classes because they were required to read stories they had a better grasp on life's happenings and problems that might occur throughout their life. Looking through the book. Scarlet Letter, Bryan Colvin underlines the important verses in Language Arts III class fifth period.

We had a lot of work to do in and out of class. Shane Mogford agreed that math was not always fun. Mr. Chandler had us working problems that were not always easy. Some of them took an entire page of paper to do, stated Shane. The students of Junction High School had a choice of math classes. They had nine math courses to choose from. These courses were: Pre-Algebra, Algebra l-ll. Geometry, Consumer Math, Fundamentals of Math l-ll, and Ad- vanced Math. No matter which course they chose to take, many students realized that math was not something to be taken lightly. Working on his second period Pre-Algebra, David Gamble concentrates on the equations. 106 MATH Working hard to finish his math assign- ment, |esse Aguero studies in the resource room during second period.

Ja tudents at Junction High School had a variety of science courses to choose from that were headed by a very competent teaching staff. Coach Hugh Doyal and Coach Sharon McFarland taught the life sciences while Mrs. Karla Boone taught physical science, chemistry and physics. During the year the students participated in several lab projects. One project that Jeannie Randolph enjoyed in her physics class was being able to teach a chapter in physics and give her own test. Jeannie stated that the reason she enjoyed the project was because she had the opportunity to work at her own pace on the project. Bar- bi Taylor remarked about the labs, I know labs are im- portant, but I preferred class room lectures. I won't remember dissecting as one of the 'biggies' in my sophomore year but one thing I do know, is that our future depends on the breakthrough in all fields of science.'' For some students the science class was a hard one but for others it was challenging. Chemistry is an in- teresting class but it is so hard,” replied Courtney Caudle about her chemistry class which she took her junior year. Science gave the students an opportunity to learn through experiments and have fun at the same time. Holli Heap stated, about her biology class which she took her sophomore year, The labs were the best part of biology and we always had fun doing them. Looking at a mistake on her paper in introductory biology Pam Weaver and Danny Rendon try to find humor in what she has done while |uan Dominguez watches the activity outside.

As Michael Jenkins commented, Being a student aide was a chance for me to help other students, and the respect I get from the other students makes me feel good about myself. As student aides worked with their teachers, they developed special bonds. Mr. Chandler is just a little bit crazy which at times makes it fun, said Shane Mogford. Junior Sanchez replied, It's tun to see the teacher from a different point-of-view. Marshall Heap stated, I get to be involved with faculty. Louis Gonzales thought, It was something new for me. Sometimes though, student aides let their positions go to their heads. This was illustrated when Oscar John Abilez said, I enjoy watching others taking tests when I don't have to. Shane Mogford pointed out, I get to watch younger students learn what I already know. But the most im- portant experience was summed up by Carol Jenkins, Being a stu- dent aide gives me a sense of responsibility, and I get treated with respect. 110 STUDENT AIDES During first period aide class, JoLynne Shoppe keeps busy by stapling papers for the second grade.

Cl here were several Vocational classes that the students at Junc- tion High School had to choose from. Such as: Data Processing and Computer Programming, Record Keeping, M.O.C.T., Ag. I and II, Homemaking, Typing I and II and Personal Business Management. The students chose the classes on their personal opinions, advice from other classmates, teachers and the counselor. Vocational classes were meant to help students with everyday situations that might arise. In Typing I, I have Stocking the shelves at Super S Foods, Sammy Condarco fills the empty spaces. Flanding a paper to Austin Skero, Keith Latham sarcastically jokes with Frank Davis in computer literacy fifth period. Everyday Situations learned several things, but the most important would be typing a job application, stated Barbi Taylor. Barbi felt that typing class gave her a better idea on what was expected in the real world of business. Carolynn Pulcher remarked that Homemaking has taught her how to sew and, I understand now how important sewing is because you don't realize all the buttons that fall off your shirt or how many seams come undone within a wardrobe. While Typing and Homemaking help some, Personal Business Management helped Laura McGuire. I just never imagined that one day I would have to keep my checkbook balanced and have to make investments with my money. Now that I stop and think about it. Personal Business Management has really taught me a lot. The Vocational classes helped the students realize that one day they will have to stand on their own and make it in this world by themselves. 112 VOCATIONAL Looking up from hit assignment in personal business management fifth period, Michael Castillo seems to be concerned with what is happening in the rest of the class. Discussing their Ag. assignment, Heath Nixon and Matt Black work on welding in Ag. II period three.

VOCATIONAL H3 Having a spare mo- ment, Mike Biese listens to a tape of the band's concert material in Band first period. yl articipation in clubs enriched the school year for most students at lunction High School. Various clubs helped the students earn money, learn to sew, and the proper procedure to conduct a formal meeting. The clubs at |.H.S. came in all shapes and sizes from MOCT to FHA. Other clubs students were able to participate in were: National Honor Society, Future Farmers of America, Spanish Club, Student Council, Cheerleaders and Pep Squad. I think MOCT prepares me well to ona ted J)di eaA face the job market, said Missy Brooks. Ike Mapels added, I get a lot of hands-on training working at Sonic Tires. Other students felt clubs like Stu- dent Council and National Honor Society would improve their chances to get in the college of their choice. Clubs are to improve people, right? asked Keith Latham, so why not be in all you can. By choosing to be members of various clubs the students showed their interest in J.H.S. and donated their ideas to better the school. I really like how the Student Council 'dug into' the school board and changed the dress code so we can wear shorts, said Courtney Caudle. Evidence proved that school would not have been what it was had there been no clubs. They made successes look easy, but behind all this winning was an abundant amount of effort. All of this unity was tested and students grew to new heights as they become prepared for tomorrow.

The NHS was a very enthusiastic group during the 1986-87 school year. Beginning with 14 members at the start of the year, the NHS inducted seven new members at the induction ceremony at the First United Methodist Fellowship Hall. In my opinion, said NHS sponsor Paula Chrisman, we have 21 members because these 21 not only work hard, but are quite intelligent. I think it's neat that our membership is up. But the hardest part of each year is saying good-bye to our senior members. The NHS was active in the communi- ty by cleaning up and tearing down eyesores to the community. Three NHS members tore down the tennis ■Standard of Slxceiie ence backboard on the north side of the high school. The members also collected canned foods for the local churches to pass out to needy families at Thanksgiv- ing. Several people worked at the Wild Came Dinner sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce during hunting season for their community service project. The NHS was honored by the local Rotary Club International at Isaak's Restaurant. The students feasted on steak and baked potato preceeded by salad accented with a variety of topp- ings and dressings. Each member was awarded with a certificate of Academic Achievement. Also, NHS had an after- school party at the Dairy Queen where each member enjoyed anything from the menu. To students, being in NHS was a great achievement. Each NHS member had to maintain a 90 average which was set by )HS. Although the national requirement was 85, the JHS students were required to have a higher standard of excellence. Being on NHS means a lot to me, stated Keith Latham. It puts me aside from the average students and separates the high quality students from the rest. It shows who works hard and who just does enough to get by. NHS means that I have to work to maintain the reputation that it gives me, explained Sheila Clark. It means that I'm a leader in my school and I have to always do what is right to set a good example for the other students to follow. Each member had to maintain the reputation of the prestigious National Honor Society by excelling in every academic class. The NHS members, therefore, stood head and shoulders above the rest and achieved their best to accomplish the high standards of excellence. Showing Carol Jenkins a brochure about the Navy, Miss Paula Chrisman explains the impor- tance of good grades and being in NHS.

The members of FHA learned many things about themselves and about leadership. But no one forgot the fun. During the year the FHA had many activities they participated in. Tne FHA got involved with the community by selling popcorn at the Halloween Carnival. They also got to learn from some of their ex- periences. When the FHA went to Kerrville State Hospital to sing carols for the patients, many of the members learned how much a lit- tle of their time meant. Cannon Jones said, I didn't realize how much they thought of us. During FHA week, the members planned activities like releasing balloons, having a party for the special education kids, and the monthly meeting. For the monthy meeting, the FHA had a guest speaker, Mrs. Debbie McGill, State Vice-President of Public Relations, who talked about developing a good self-image and discovering leadership qualities. She also spoke on individuality and the positive attitude one should have on life. The FHA also had their annual FHA Banquet where the installa- tion of the incoming officers took place. The Future Homemakers of America rounded out the year with a trip to MO Ranch where members got to play volleyball, go canoeing, and enjoy a swimming pool. Other members preferred to hike and take in the beauty of the surroundings. The year had been one of discovering and understanding of one's qualities, but no one forgot the fun.

Parents do not always understand the pressures of modern life, so students are forced to find alternate methods of finance. Mow- ing laws at $12.00 each, babysitting at $1.50 an hour, or holding down a job at Milky Way for $3.35 an hour pays for the necessities of life. Students learn to get along with co-workers and employers, basic job skills, and organizing their time and efforts in MOCT. Combining one hour of classwork with three or more hours of on-the-job training, MOCT students worked in distributive type jobs. Taking over a very stressful job in the middle of the year, MOCT sponsor Mr. Dick Oliver said, Now I know the meaning of 'Baptism by Fire!' The 23 students of MOCT knew what it was like try- ing to make ends meet. Most were looking for a job to fit individual needs.

We didn't have that many friends show up, but we had a lot of fun decorating and danc- ing.” Marc Simon said, I enjoyed the Foreign Language Festival the most. It was a lot of fun. Spanish Club members attended the Spanish Club banquet on May 13, 1987. They also sponsored the Valentine's Dance on February 13, 1987. Raquel Gonzales added, “I would really like to encourage everyone who is planning on tak- ing any Spanish classes to join the Spanish Club.

The Student Council gives students a chance to speak out through a unified group, said Michea Booth. The Student Council had but one main purpose in mind. They wanted to work for the betterment of all students by allowing them to voice their opinions on various subjects. The issue on wearing shorts to school was an issue that all students wanted changed and because of the Student Council, the students were allowed to voice their opinions and get the rule changed. Cannon Jones stated, I believe the biggest activity of the Student Council this year was the passing of the shorts rule. Assisting the Student Council was their sponsor, Mrs. Karla Boone. The Student Council participated in the refilling of the Dr. Pepper machine, the Homecoming activities and dance, putting up the marque sign, and a garage safe. The garage sale netted approximately $400.00. The Student Council officers for 1986-87 were: Michea Booth, presi- dent; Alan Brawley, vice-president; Jamey Newbury, treasurer; and Mar- shall Heap, secretary. Major influences on the students' decisions to become members of the Student Council were being able to make rules and being a part of the school's governing body. I feel like it is a challenge to be a part of the school system, quoted Mindy Davis. 126 STUDENT COUNCIL Giving a smile of satisfaction, Student Council member Kim Happner receives her award for the honor roll.

Last summer the Varsity cheerleaders, mascot, and Junior Varsity went to S. W.T.U. in San Marcos. During camp Varsi- ty cheerleaders earned six spirit sticks, including the mascot's. The Junior Varsity earned one. On the last day of camp, each squad won a spirit stick to bring home and numerous ribbons. All cheerleaders had a lot of fun and were excited about the upcoming year. The overall spirit of the crowd, said Ashley Campbell, was better than it has been in a long time. The Eagle Boosters really helped in raising the spirit of the community. You must always remember, said Michea Booth, to keep yelling no matter what the score or the situation. Looking over her notes, |anel Stockton, head cheerleader, sits down with the other cheerleaders to plan the weekly ralley.

With only 20 members the girls really had to yell to be heard ana yell they did, supporting the Eagles along with all the other boosters to a spot in the state playoffs. When asked why they were in Pep Squad Amanda Weaver replied, To support the Eagles through win or loss. To show the other side we have spirit. Katherine Williams added, So I could be part of the spirit and help build it up.” Christie Zeiters said, I like cheering for the guys and watching them play.” Pep Squad members learned that there was a lot of practice involved in cheering. They met every Tuesday and practiced with the cheerleaders, volunteering to help with spirit raisers and pep rally plans. The J.H.S. Pep Squad helped boost spirit by decorating the gym for pep rallies, picketing the football players practice with members of the com- munity, and making yard signs with the cheerleaders for the Varsity players yards. Near the end of the season playoff fever was on everyones mind and the pep squad members were no ex- ception. I was very proud of the Eagles, I bragged to all of my out-of- town friends, said Amanda Weaver. She also added, Although we lost, we did our best, and it was fun; the competition was so-o-o hard! The pep squad had a great time going to and participating in the bi-district game against San Antonio Cole with the bright lights of Bobcat Stadium to encourage tneir spirits. Throughout the season the J.H.S. Pep Squad encouraged and pro- moted spirit all around school and the community and showed how spirit shined through on the 1986 football season.

Sports reign- ed supreme over almost 250 stu- dent's list of activities. With athletes of all strengths and sizes finding their way to the playing field, the teams were filled like never before, and growth of their power struck fear deep in the heart of their competitions. Sports were a major factor at junc- tion High School. They inspired the student to make passing grades and participate on the teams. J.H.S. had a wide variety of fall, winter and spring sports. Football, basketball, track and field, baseball. tennis, golf and cross-country were the sports students were able to par- ticipate in. From football, which started the se- cond week of August, to baseball, which ended at the beginning of the summer, the athletes of J.H.S. strived to achieve the very best possible from themselves and the team. Team sports are an important part of our high school years. They teach us to really work, said Alan Brawley. jeannie Randolph added, I think be- ing on the tennis team will help later on in college because it forced me to commit myself day after day to practice. Some of the key factors of J.H.S. sports teams were spirit, a good at- titude, conditioning, and hard work. The coaches pushed the athletes to obtain all these qualities to have competitive sports teams throughout the school year. Other traits characteristic of the sports teams were good leadership, dedication and a desire to excel individually. They never gave up in sports and the desire to win was always present. To pursue their dreams was tne driv- ing force behind the athletes, and striving to be the best will always be present today, tomorrow and forever at Junction High School.

For the Junction Eagles, keeping team unity and overcoming mistakes were the hardest things to ac- complish during the season. Having over a hundred yards in penalties during the first games made Junction strive for perfection and with this, brought Junction down to a district championship game against Mason. Even though the season seemed like a long, gloomy one at the beginn- ing, Junction got a positive, winning attitude and looked forward and did not dwell on past games. The players had set goals as a team: making it to the playoffs, but had also set personal goals. For injured player Jamey Newbury, his goal was to recover from surgery and play. Jamey stated, You never think you can play harder until you get hurt and have to sit on the sidelines a while. It really makes you strive and to go that extra step and hit extra hard. While some player's goal was to overcome No Pass No Play from House Bill 72, others wanted to get more than one interception (Marshall Heap) or help themselves and the team to the play- offs (Skip Campbell). Coach Hubby gave the team a win- ning spirit and took the Eagles to their first play-off game in four years. Junc- tion, being second in district 29AA, plaved state ranked San Antonio Cole in the bi-district play-off game in San Marcos at South West Texas State University Stadium. Although San An- tonio Cole ran away with the game, 50-0, the young Eagle team gained the experience of playing against a bigger and faster team. The Eagle team lived up to many expectations of the community ana even passed the hopes of many peo- ple. With this new burst of spirit and enthusiasm the Eagles are sure to go further next year and gain more ex- perience on the playing field of competition.

Coach Hubby graduated with a degree in Physical Educa- tion. Before moving to Junction he coached football in Midland. The hardest part of my job, replied Coach Hubby, is trying to keep the athletes from failing classes. Sometimes they are not motivated to do their part. Doing their part was a big factor in the suc- cess of the Eagle team. Without the players, the team could not have accomplished all the goals and could not have been so suc- cessful. Coach Hubby instilled in the players that by accomplishing the little things that they could win the big games. Those little mistakes cost us, expressed Coach Hubby. Emphasizing to the team that doing their People best for themselves, for Junction, for their fans, and for their school and teammates was what really counted, stated Coach Hubby. It was not who won or lost, but who played to the best of their ability. The Eagle team was based on a lot of desire ana drive to win and Coach Hubby realized that the team lacked a lot of natural ability. But that did not stop the team or Coach Hubby. He stated that the team knew that they might be inferior in talent but that they were superior in determination. Seeing what football has done for me made me want to do as much as I can for all my players, stated Coach Hubby when asked how his football career had influenc- ed him to motivate the Junction Eagles. They are all better people for having played.” Working day by aay in hopes, at the end, to be better than the day before was Coach Hubby's main goal for the 1986 football team and for the teams of the future.

Playing hard and playing together was a major key for the outstanding per- formance of the Girls' J.V. “Being undefeated was really exciting, and it made all the work wor- thwhile. And work they did. The training for the season con- sisted of drills and running. The girls were drilled on everything from shooting baskets to the dif- ferent plays and formations. So the girls were either practicing jump- shots, freethrows, and lay-ups, or they were running. Any of the basketball girls would have agreed that running was the major part of all practices. And any kind of running was done; such as, from line to line on the court, run- ning across the court, and running around the court. Running became a major part of the girls' lives. The basketball saeson was work because of the rigorous physical training. And that work paid off in the triumph of an undefeated season. 146 GIRLS' JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL While Ingram has the ball.

War Rain, iiCl he thing I enjoy most about golf is going to the tournaments and meeting new people that share the enjoyment of playing golf as I do, said Mindy Davis. Meeting new and exciting people was rewarding experience to the golf teams. Both the girls and boys golf teams placed first at district and went on to regional in Victoria. I enjoy playing golf because I love the privilege of playing golf and representing our school at the same time, mented Ray Rojas. The two biggest problems to the golf teams to overcome were pa- tience and the weather conditions. I realized that disciplining myself to practice was what it would take to make me the best I could be, stated Canon Jones. The golf teams normally practiced five days a week and seven to eight hours a week. The weather affected the teams during the season. The rain and high winds that conflicted with the meets would have caused others to give up but despite the poor playing conditions, the teams still came out on top to have a win- ning season. I chose to play golf because you can play it the rest of your life and it is a perfectionists game, stated Michea Booth. Choosing to play golf was a decision that brought many rewards to the JHS golf teams.

The baseball team had a very suc- cessful season. They were undefeated in district play. In order to clinch a playoff spot. Junction had to beat Wall. And that they did. Coach Casaday wanted the team to win district because the team had been second the past three years. Coach Casaday wanted the team to be back on top. He felt that in 1987 the baseball team would be district champs. The hardest part of baseball was being able to get the whole team together to practice. Most kids play more than one sport and it's hard to get the guys together, stated Coach Casaday. The baseball team was very successful and succeeded in reaching its major goals. The team members had a great season, had fun and enjoyed playing, traveling, and being a team. BASEBALL 159 PLiUe Person “ Q enjoy baseball because I never get tired of the sport, stated David Rojas. It's never boring. I've played so many years that I like it more than any other sport. Playing baseball for all four of his high school years, David said, had taught him how to win and how to be a good sport. He learned to play without someone in a certain position and how to play at different positions when ever asked. I'm glad we have baseball here because its a sport where everyone can get involved. To win district was David's only response for team goals while his per- sonal goal was to get a scholarship to play college baseball. Being pitcher for the team for two years put David in a commanding position. I'm pithcer because I like to throw, emphasized David. I like it because I like to strike people out and watch the expressions they get on their face. It makes me laugh.” Playing baseball at college is David's plan for the future. Feeding balls through the pitching machine, Coach Mick Casaday watches as the team members practice after school. 160 BASEBALL Striking out the batter, David Rojas fires the ball during the Junction vs. Wall game.

The students worked after school and summer jobs; they volunteered to do community ser- vice work and participated in sports and fund raising events for local clubs. The parents began their support with the annual booster Bar-B-Que and continued their support throughout football (with Floyd Bulter announcing the football games), basketball, track, tennis, golf, and baseball seasons. The community also backed the U.I.L. Literary participants. Throughout the year the com- munity and the school worked as one to promote and define pride in the town.
