Friends Rae Juan Markunas and Jacquie Patter- son share a very special thing— friendship. Since 1956, the two have taught at Killeen, Their friendship goes even further back, to their college days, where they were roommates. Markunas came here to teach in 1954. Originallly from Gatesville, she chose to come to Killeen because of the type of kids— the military had given many a varied background in foreign countries and in dif- ferent states. This fascinated Markunas. In- teresting also, to Markunas is the way Killeen has grown. From a small town with muddy streets and a terrible phone system to a city with four lane highways, Markunas has shared in the growing pains of Killeen. From a one-room school in West Texas, Patterson arrived to a combined position of Annual Staff sponsor and English teacher in 1956. As a teacher, Patterson has always set her standards high, expecting others to meet them. It is this expectation of others that has made Patterson a respected teacher at KHS. For Patterson as well as Markunas, KHS is more than just a job, it is a lifestyle. I just can ' t yell. Yea Eagles; when you cut me, I bleed maroon. ' J iF S In the early 1900 ' s, none of the streets in Killeen were paved. Gailya Taylor Bates and Barbara Harris Foy, members of the planning committee, arrange tables at the Holiday Inn. Rae Juan Markunas was guest speaker at this banquet, held to celebrate the 25th reunion of the class of 1956, on October 31, 1981. Jacquie Patterson and Rae Juan Markunas share friend- ship in the Student Activities office. 18— HISTORY

Love to Order It seems today that the only sure thing about relationships is that people will fall in love. Relationships themselves are a risk, and cannot be guaranteed to last. Such are the problems of our times. A hundred years ago, the problems weren ' t the same. In small towns like Kllleen, the biggest problem seemed to be just getting together: the remnants of the false morality of the Vic- torian era lingered in rural areas, and the restrictions concerning social contact were indeed harsh: Students are forbidden to converse with students of the opposite sex or to write notes or to communicate in any form on the school premises or while coming to or going from the school except under parental supervision. Breaking this rule will result in expulsion. Melissa Bippes and Jimmy Tidwell seem to be relieved that the social restric- tions of 1882 aren ' t enforced today. Parades were a major attraction in the Pre-Depression era in Killeen, and ex- travagant floats were common sights. 19
