Our editor 2 Yearbook -Shrill Our fabulous, hilarious, wonderful and most of all understanding sponsor — Mr. Snulli Like any other class, the yearbook staff is a very important part of Lamar. Without them we would not have that special book with captured memories. This book reminds us five years down how fun the pep rallies were and how great the football team did. We see how necessary this book is and do our best to make it as valuable as it can be. Each student is assigned certain pages where they cover them in the most essential way possible. Reporting, interviewing and much footwork is used to gather information. To meet the deadlines, students must keep up on events. Along with self- confidence to work independently, they learn to be creative with copy, outlines and layouts. This means looking through magazines ami writing and rewriting until fully satisfied. Our determination and work results with an excellent book for you, the student who lived through it. The Ones Behind The Cameras From lefl lo right: Charles Odom, Shelley Stieber, and Jeff Mincy. Charles Odom hangs up the strip of negatives to dry which is one step in developing photographs. Without the photographers, we would not have a yearbook. Being a photographer takes a lot of training to do a good job. It is not only a job for one period, but it is a constant devotion of time and effort. They have to be responsible and dedicated in order to become a full-fledged photographer. This requires a flexible schedule and they must be available at any lime. Not only do photographers take pictures, but they also have to go through the process of developing pictures. Photographers are of great importance to the yearbook.

When ' 87 is dead and gone, and 88 has partied on, ' 89 will dunk they ' re eool; Class of ' 90 will forever rule! The freshmen tear into high school is frightening b ecause their first year of high school is a new beginning. Going into a new school and getting lost is nerve-racking. But poor freshmen get picked on which makes their new year worthwhile! Sophomores; are thrilled by driver ' s license, the excitement of English class, and just being here. Mrs. Morris, a sophomore English teacher, is what sophomores look forward lo because of the excitement she adds to her classes. We are classy, oh so fine, we are seniors ' 89!!! We sophomores are just here! We are like stuck in the middle. We survived our freshmen year. We have the ex- citement of being in Mrs. Morris ' English class. The only thing we have going for us is our driver ' s license, and some of us get lucky and gel a car. 6 Intro lie In Juniors; have the privilege of giving a prom, ordering a class ring, and looking forward to their senior year. Being a junior makes us look for- ward lo our senior year. We ' ve got only two years to go.

The opening of the Randalls shopping center has caused quite a stir in the community because of its convenience and the many jobs it has created. The added attraction to Randalls was Cinema 8, which has given a variety of movies to choose from in the Rose-Rich area. After serving the community for sixty-two years, the Brazos River Bridge in Richmond was condemned due to the faults found in its structure. The million dollar three story Ft.

He has mostly shown the Weimaraners that his family raises. His first show dog was Me and My Shadow a female who is now retired at the age of seven. He continued his showing with CH. DaBeck ' s Lord Ashley, with whom David did the majority of his winning. During his show career he met and defeated over 1500 Juniors. David has been the recipient of several outstanding awards in his Junior career. He was awarded the Weimaraner Club of America ' s Best Junior Handler for the years of 1981, 83, 84 and 1985. At the American Kennel Club ' s Centennial Show in Philadelphia in November of 1984 he was selected as one of the 8 semi-finalists over a field of 76. The highest award he has received was on February 12, 1985, at the Westminster Kennel Club that was held at Madison Square Garden in New York Ci- ty. During the calendar year 1984, 14,000 Juniors competed for the chance to qualify and show their dogs at this, the most prestigious dog show in dogdom. Sixty-eight Juniors qualified for this show and David was selected by Mrs. Dorothy Welsh to be considered the Best Junior Handler in the Nation. With the win at Westminster, David was presented at $1,000 scholarship by the Quaker Oats Corporation to the college of his choice. David has continued to raise and show dogs through high school and has come away with many more awards and honors. Lori Hemenes, Beauly Queen, with Mr. Robert Mykeska Lori has competed in various pageants throughout the State of Texas. She started at five years of age competing in Little Miss Pageants and through the years went on to compete in the Miss National Teenager Pageant. Some of her awards have been in the liltle miss with a 1st talent in Competition, Hospitality award. In recent pageants she was titled Miss Ft. Bend Co. Beauty Queen and was chosen in the top 10 semi-finalisl in the Miss East Texas National Teenager Pageant in April of 1987. Competing in pageants has given me an inner confidence and the ability to perform in front of a large audience. I love to com- pete, it ' s a great challenge. Because of pageants I have many friends throughout Texas. 35 SENIORS PARTY RIGHT WITH PRO-GRAD i« rr j. 111.

It is a very exciting event in which the gals trade places with the guys. It ' s not just any event, but it is an event with practices, bruises, and fun. Senior girls are looking over the plays lo see if ihey have them all down. Mfci vfl? ' The junior cheerleaders show ihe crowd how high they are in school spirit. Anna Sulit is daring anyone to try and slop her. Bang-Bang, Choo-Choo Train, let ' s cheer the seniors while they do their thing.

The Pep Band plays the seniors on lo victory. Anne Hruska takes off with the ball to make the first and last touchdown for the Juniors. The Seniors get a little worried when the score is tied 6-6. At the end of all the hard work and practice, the fun is winning. And this year ' s winners were the Seniors. The score ended up 12-6. Coming back from halflime, the Seniors have decided that the game is theirs. The sweet sound of victory fills the air when the bell is rung by the winning team. Powder Puff 41 Wustanp JJJ _4 Douck Of Looking back 20 years from now one thing a person remembers most about their high school life is the ... Junior-Senior Prom. After Spring Break students had a month and a half to gel things planned out. The boys start thinking about who they are going to ask, while the girls hope they will get asked. It even went the other way around where some girls asked the guys. For girls the cost of dresses ranged from $70.00 to $200.00 depending on how much you wanted to spend. For guys most rented tuxes were around $75.00. The girls worried about what accessories would go great with their gowns and how they would fix their hair. While the guys thought about where they would take their dales to eal. Another thing on the guys mind was if they would ask mom and dad if they could borrow money to rent a limo, or just do a super wax job on the ragged out car in the driveway. The prom was from 8:00 lo 12:00 in the even- ing. On Saturday April 25, 1987. It was held at the Adam ' s Mark at 2900 Briarpark Drive. Most students went to dine preceeding the prom. Some of the restaurants the guys chose for their dates to dine at were The Boston Sea Party, The Great Caruso, Vargo ' s, and The Old San Francisco Steak House. After midnight when it was all over students found their own ways lo finish off prom nighl. Some took off to the beaches while others painted the town red, or shall we say blue. Two days before the prom Ray Guajardo, Cassandra Spells, and Roddery Martin buy tickets which were $25.00 a couple. Arriving at the Adam ' s Mark hotel, the ladies and gentlemen make final ad- justments before entering the ballroom. To start off the exciting evening, Maria Orken signs in at the romantic. candlelit check-in table. Bell Sotello checks in with her dale where they gave out programs and senior wills.

Our learn of the year known as the fighting Mustangs, were under pressure being at the top. Much is expected and the varsity shows examples for the underclassman players. Since so many graduated, we were short on experience, yet high on potential. At first the season ' s record didn ' t ex- cel, but with the guidance of the coaches, the team- work improved and so did the record. Donuts, cakes, candy, breakfast, and decorated lockers were some of the many goodies locker buddys gave their favorite player to show support. Although defeated by penetration, we did great at the Vic- toria Bi-District game. Whether it is silence or rowdiness, they all have a way of getting psyched up for the game. This gave them a push to victory and a chance at the playoffs. Pep rallies are never boring when the team participates.

The Lamar-vs-Terry game is in a class by itself. There has always been a strong rivalry between the two teams. What better place to let frustrations out than at a football game. For the third time in a row victory, student body, faculty, and old graduates were left with Mustang pride that lives on. This game has always been important and always will be in the eyes of Lamar. Predictions were made, posters were up, cheers were chanted, and the spirit was rising to its peak as the stadium packed to its fullest. With a 28-9 final score, Terry showed no real competition and the better team won. FIRED UP is the word and that is what we were. After a fabulous victory over Terry, spectators, cheerleaders, and players kneel for prayer. As Oliver Brooks makes his way to the goal line, we can easily see how it takes more than one Ranger to hold a moving Mustang. The banner our Mustangs are tearing through says Trash Terry, but they intend to do more than just that. A U.S. A was formed during intermission by many Terry and Lamar students. After reading the sign, there is no doubt where we ' re going after getting Terry out of the way. The rough practice payed offal the game.

Seriously, this year has given me a chance to become close to some of the most interesting, unique and differing students in this district. Thanks to everyone, keeping up that school support. Michelle Krohn to! Bring a cheerleader has hern the mosl interesting and fun experience thai I ' ve had. But most of all I ' ve enjoyed being with the rest of the squad. Maria Moreno 52 Cheerleaders Than Meets the Eye! Cheerleading means different things from school to school. Our school ' s spirit has changed a lot through the past few years. The cheerleaders have had to adapt to the changes in spirit and school involvement. In spite of the almost total lack of support the cheerleaders continue to work to boost the meager school spirit. In an effort to learn new ideas and routines the cheerleaders attended the South West Texas Cheerleading camp. They were highly successful and received 12 superior rib- bons and three spirit slicks. Mascots, Michelle Kxohn and Brad Villers, received ribbons and a spirit stick. Michelle Krohn received a trophy for being one of the best mascots present. Before I became a cheerleader I thought it was all fun and games. Now I know all the hard work that it takes to be a cheerleader. Kelly Beeler. My senior year as head cheerleader con- tributed to some of the best years I ' ve had at LHS. Even though there ' s a lot of confu- sion in cheerleading, the best part of it is the sportsmanship and making new friends. Diane Tolbert. Cheerleading is not all glamour; it ' s full of hard work, long hours, sore muscles, and even tears. But it ' s worth it!!! Mindi Wade. Cheerleaders are like sisters having a wonderful lime together.

This consists of two weeks where girls give 1 10% to improve their technique. They began each day with stretches at 7:30, later they march, kick and learn dances until 5:00 p.m. All the aerobics leave much soreness and this is why camp is where girls pay the price lo be dancers. Once through camp anything is possible. The individual goal is to continue to improve and reach the highest peak. As a team, girls give each other support. This way they can be 1 together. Later when football season begins so does more PRACTICE and more PAIN. Every day until 5:30 or 6:00 we see those dazzling smiles and energetic faces putting Friday ' s show together. The weather does not count, rain or shine, it is practice as usual. By Friday the whole dance is together and the eager Fillies are ready to strut their stuff. Along with the excitement there are always butterflies and tension among girls. After an excellent performance, the girls proudly march off the field knowing they did great. This kind of satisfaction comes after those long frustrating hours to get it right. It is a proud feeling, deep inside, that is kept to help gel them through the following week of practice and performance. When attending out of town games they must be ready with all supplies at 5:30. By the lime they shower and get supplies, the girls usually do not have time to eat or roll their hair. As a result, they pick up a fast food snack and arrive with rollers. Supplies are munches, must all be carried. The ride out of town can be long, bumpy and hot, and girls figure out a way to put on make-up and fix their hair before arriving which is a talent they were born with. Following football season the contests begin. Members perfect sharper techniques and high kicks. Smiles are just as impor- tant and more pizazz is expected this time of year. The Fillies went to contest in Conroe where the officers won Superior on prop and kick and an Excellent on jazz. The team won Superior on jazz, prop, and kick and were also awarded Sweepstakes. The Biggy was in Fort Worth where officers received Superiors on prop and kick and Excellent on jazz and prop. The line won Superiors on Kick and Excellents in jazz and prop. Results were great and the work paid off. After experiencing camp. Football season, and contests, the team is now a unified family. Like sisters, they went through all the fights and fusses girls have. They even competed against each other, but later overcame this with understanding. Sure drill team had its bad moments such as dropping dead when there is thirty minutes of kicking left to do, but it paid off. An added at- traction to the Fillie Family is Parker, Mrs. Parker ' s husband, who has been a tremendous support. The success of this great year goes to all the non-quitters and supporters who helped . . .

Pinned up in various places in the dressing room area are signs the coach puts up as re- minders for girls. These signs help girls when nervous before a game or when down after a loss. One sign says, If you tried to do something and failed you are vastly better off than if you had tried to do nothing and succeed. This tells girls not to give up and to always believe in trying before doing so. I look forward to seeing many more of these in the coming year. The quick move means automatic think- ing for Jeannie Thompson as her op- ponents await to block. Varsity B-Ball 63 £ % Afler practicing for what seems like forever and losing more than half the games, girls can lose hope and give up. However, the J.V. girls did not; they continued to play and give it their all in each game. They learned the meaning of playing as a team and accepted their defeats together. We grew and matured as people and as players, says Coach Doxlad. As a result of this continual push, the girls ended the season with a victory over Willowridge, which was a fan- tastic sight to see. The experience of this season has taught girls a lesson that can help them next year as well as the rest of their lives.

Freshman Girls Basketball 65 VARSITY: The Team HAH. U ■ E tt Since this year ' s team was left with only three varsity players, the coach moved up to varsity sooner than expected. Our girls know more is expected when one is at the top and strives to be the best. The change was more competition which meant more of everything was expected. Teamwork, good defense, better spiking ap- proaches and, of course, the desire to win were many of the areas girls tried to improve. With hopes to place district next year, girls will come back energetically and physically prepared. One good block will give her learn a point, and Trisha Overgoner intends to succeed in doing so.

The leam work on this team has been said lo be immeasurable. Boys run, push, correct and improve together. Coaches give advice on track as well as other problems. They also push their boys to the farthest limit in all they do. As a result of this, a better track leam develops and the individual members become one. The runners increase speed on hurdles and sprints. They also run two miles each day. Whether it would be high jumping, disks, pole vault, shot put, long jump or triple jump, those who participate acquire a greater skill. Next we come to long distance runners which run different distances ac- cording lo their potential. We see that track not only consists of running, but other events as well. All the energy and leam work comes down lo personal satisfaction. The practice to finish running a certain distance a few seconds earlier and to jump higher pays off when one does great at meets. Runners — Oliver Brooks, Myron Woods, Eric Garrett, Ronnie Raley, and Brill Chapman.

Freshman!! LaTanya Crump — Being in the ninth grade feels fishy. Tammy Graeber — It doesn ' t feel too different than being in the eighth grade. Just everybody likes to go around calling you Fish. Linda Nickerson — Glad to get out of Jr. High and into high school. Shannon McKinney — Could do without being called Fish. Heather Krejci — It ' s fun to be in high school and to be back with all our friends. We enjoy all the parties and fun things we do with our friends, but we get picked on, too. Holly Kilborn — It feels so good to be in the ninth grade because I know I am almost out of school and you can do a lot more things and see a lot more people. Katrina Schmidt — I like to be in the 9th grade because it makes me feel responsible. Barbara Lopez — Kind of fun, sometimes boring, love those guys! Mark Springer — It ' s no different than Jr. High. It ' s still school no matter how you dress it. Melissa Smith — I think it ' s kind of good because you learn new things. Eva Rodriguez — It feels terrible because you get picked on by upperclassmen. Larry Vargas — It chills to the max. John Hruska — Being a freshman is like being shot in the back. Becky Kunz — It feels different but great to be a fish. Mac Jones — Being a freshman is like being slabbed 1 1 times then rubbed with alcohol. Angie Garza — It ' s okay I really don ' t like being called a fish. I guess we have to start somewhere. It ' s embarrassing to say I ' m a freshman. Doug Foster — It feels great to be a freshman. Anthony Zales — It ' s alright but I wish we had off campus lunch. Chris Ramirez — Being a freshman is alright. Kristina Caro — It feels ok. Lots of work and not really hard. Not really all that great! Clint Shepard — Being in ninth grade is just like being in any other grade. It is not great but it ' s okay. Hector Flores — In the ninth grade it ' s kind of hard, because everyone calls you a fish. The work is alright and so are the teachers. Everything is different in high school, but you get used to it very fast. Chris Johnson — It feels good to be in high school because jr. high was the same old thing. Robert Rivera — It ' s pretty cool, you get to do almost anything you want. Kim Stelly — Ninth grade is better than eighth or seventh grade, because the higher the grade the sooner you get out. I don ' t like it that much, but it hasn ' t been a bad year yet. Joe Phearse — It ' s chillin ' to the max! You have a lot of privileges. Plenty of girls to see. Lissa Gonzales — There ' s always next year. Jason Hardin — It feels great to be in the ninth grade! It ' s the best! Katie Shoff — Ninth grade is very belittling. Suzanne Stieber — Being a freshman is kind of hard. The teachers expect too much or at least some do. Otherwise it ' s great to be in high school. Missie Driskill — I hale being a freshman, because you get picked on about being a fish! Everything else is good but I still have three more years to go. Kyle Brown — II feels okay but I ' d rather be older. Jennifer Esparza Jeff Peacock SCHOL I ihink it is special going to Lamar Consolidated High School. 1 think it is special saying that you go to l.amar. Since 1 am a little bit handicapped it is great being able to go to a public high school rather than some special school. It is a lot more fun, and it is a lot more challenging than a special school. Be- ing a freshman at Lamar, you would think you would be picked on a lot. This is not really true. All the people at Lamar are pretty cool and they wont put you under because you are a lower classman. All in all being a freshman at I amar is very exciting and a lot of fun. Being a freshman isn ' t as bad a s everyone said it would be. 1 was never called a fish. Well, on- ly in major sports. But it was a once in a lifetime experience. The reason I ' m so involved in sports is because that ' s what I ' m best at — some are good in choir, drama, etc., and I ' m good in sports. Sports does cause a lot of pain, and a lot of disappointments, but through the years you learn to avoid the pain and handle the loss. Like someone once said, no pain no gain. It isn ' t easy being a freshman, but it isn ' t so bad either. It only lasts a year. I ' ve always worked for good grades. It ' s just something I do. They ' re not the most important part of my life, it ' s just something I do. Freshman 135 Fishies make it through with ease The freshmen show th eir spirit by supporting the varsity football games.

I will always remember my Sophomore year and teachers. Sophomores will rule in ' 89. Thomas Delgado — I think it ' s great, but I would rather be in the 1 1th grade. Chris Russell — I think being in the 10th is better than being in the 9th. And then when I ' m in the 1 1th it will be better than 10th. Shannon Munson — There really isn ' t a way to describe how it feels to be in a certain grade. I suppose it feels like you ' re stuck right in the middle of something, not quite half-way finished just anxious to gel out and do something in this place. Sentha Haws — Only 2 more years to go! Craig Bates — I like school a lot this year because the rules are very strict and it keeps the bad people from threatening others. The rules for being absent are a lot stricter now too. I think the tougher the rules the better our school will be. Since the rules have changed, I ' m passing all of my classes. That ' s a big change for me. Sandy Rodriguez — I enjoy being in the 10th grade. I do wish I was in the 12th grade so that way I can be about finished and out. I ' m so cute! Christina Johnson — There ' s really nothing exciting about being a sophomore. A sophomore means harder classes than 9th grade classes, but also not as hard as junior and senior classes. Cheri Woodhull — It is much, much, much better than being a fish. I enjoy being a sophomore so much that I wish I could be one forever, but since I cannot, will not and shall not. I guess that I won ' t. Mary Redfield — I love being a sophomore too, and I love my yearbook class, and I hope I will have a wonderful junior year loo. 1 44 Sophomores Chant .

I can ' t wait to get out of this school. The only thing I will miss is Mr. Cooper ' s great sense of humor!!

It ' s finally over and a new person will be developed as I go out there on my own and start a new life. It ' ll be a great challenge to experiment with.

High school has been a very rewarding experience, a constant introduction to unfamiliar ideas and peo- ple. However, I recognize thai I could have survived without a high school education; after all, you really don ' t need a diploma to earn a living. High school seemed lo be a constant struggle; i had too much work lo do in loo little lime. Fortunately, four years of pressure and frustration has taken ils loll. I am painfully aware of my weaknesses and shortcom- ings; I am not blinded by my strengths of achievements. Advice for the unsuspecting: Know your abilities, and work around them. Playing volleyball gives a person a great understanding of whal true teamwork and com- petition are. For we learned to stand logelher through good times as well as bad. For you could always together lell when we were not playing together, any team could beat us. However, when we worked together, no one could slop us. I ' m really glad lo be an exchange student in the big city of Rosenberg. Certainly Rosenberg is not a city and it is not even big, bul I like the saying good things come in little bottles and that is what I think of Rosenberg wh ere Lamar is. The high school is the best thing, including the teachers and the wonderful friends I have made. Sure, it was dif- ficult al the beginning with all the changes that it ' s supposed lo be an exchange sludenl like; the language or to come to school wilh hundreds of people.
