Basketball at Reunion Boys' team turns pro for one game Playing at Reunion Arena exhilarated not only the boys' Varsity basketball team but also the parents, teachers and fellow students. The fans went to Reunion Arena and cheered the Indians on to a massacre. The Indians won 54-58. The best thing about the game was that the kids really enjoyed the at- mosphere, said boys' Varsity coach Ray Branigan. The Indians put their name on a list with other surrounding schools and in the middle of the season had their already-scheduled game with the Brewer Bears chosen to be the pre-game show on january 29. Every game makes a player nervous, but playing at Reunion almost got the best of the Indians. The guys were a little too excited and it affected their play at the begin- ning, said Coach Branigan. Even though the guys were nervous at first, they pulled together and played as a team. The leading scorer for the Indians was jim Landtroop with I9 points. - CINDY MAYS I can fly! -jim Landtroop 4995227 jumps just high enough to shoot over a Bear for 2 points. Y, mr sfgfff, K 5 i.f ld.

Y - I ll pl IILQYHK VIHIHIIA I7 LWVI - u :xg 'Rebirth of spirit' highlights school year BOBBY ROSS editor Tan and exhausted from an exquisitely splendid summer of fun, Kaye H. Spirit returned to classes as usual in September. Following three months of life in the sun, daily trips to the movie theatre, and two-a-days at the shopping mall, the ever-lovable, but invisible, spirit eye of Keller High School expected everything happening during the next nine months to be totally anti-climatic. At best, she wished that it would somehow escape the monotony of previous years. What she actually encountered during those first weeks of school and thereafter, though, was enough to excite even the most apathetic of spirit watchers. To her amazement, Kaye I-I. Spirit discovered a student body on the verge of a renaissance From beginning to end, a rebirth of spirit undeniably captured the hearts ancl the emotions of many during the school year. A certain undescribable feeling of enthusiasm and excitement overtook the students and teachers alike. The school reached greater heights of achievement and success than ever before during its final year in class AAAA in many different areas, including academics, sports and extracurricular activities. ACADEMICS KI-IS joined an elite group of six top Texas high schools by introducing the In- ternational Baccalaureate honors program at the beginning of the year, Varsity academics, as director Norman Baxter described the program, offered ac- celerated courses and attracted close to 100 students in its first year. Sophomore Kristin Anderson was one of eight students across the nation to be chosen as an IB foreign exchange student for the 1986-87 school year. Letter jackets, long reserved for success on the baseball diamond, basketball court and football gridiron, awarded students for excellence in the classroom for the first time in March. Students received awards at a special school assembly and were recognized at a school board meeting. Radio stations publicized the program over the airwaves and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram encouraged other schools to emulate it. Five students and the cast of the one- act play, I Never Sang For My Father by Robert Anderson, qualified for the University interscholastic Leagues 76th annual State Championships for academic and drama events, May 8 through 10 in Austin.
