Although LHS undenfvent some changes, it was still the home of the mighty Vikings. lanet Paschall Working industriously, students scrape off paint which had decorated the rails of the bridge for years. Prior to the Arlington High game, students had been caught painting the bridge and cleaning it was their punishment. Putting their skills to use, Robbie Bohlmann, Kevin Witcher, lohn Vina and Shaye Gottschalk help decorate the Senior Homecoming Hall. Since it was erroneously announced at the game that sophomores had won the decorating contest, seniors were later relieved to hear that they had actually won. ,.w,,.

One of the phrases most uttered during the school year was 'big deal. What did these words mean? Suppose a student comes out of a second period trig class in a bad mood because the teacher had given a pop test. After explaining this to a friend, the friend replies 'Big deaI. ln this case the words meant 'Don't get so upset. Perhaps a student is running through the parking lot after lunch trying to make it to his fifth period class on time. He sees a classmate and yells, 'Hurry or we'll both be late! The friend calls back, 'Big deal. This time the words meant 'So what? Or say a girl come out of sixth period overjoyed because she thinks that she has a great piece of gossip. She rushes up to the first person she knows and says 'You'll never believe who is going out with whom this weekend! Her acquaintance, of course, asks 'Who? After hearing the answer she says, 'Big deal. Now these words meant 'lt's stupid to be excited about that. Big - large, great, important. Deal - event, happening, experience. Together, these words mean a lot more than just a token phrase implying the basic thought of 'Who cares? A large event, a great happening, an important experience - all these derivatives provided a much deeper meaning than what first came to mind when the term was thrown out in the hall. As a matter of fact, according to the true meaning, the time spent at Lamar was . . .

Students displayed pictures of the head on their class rings, cars and club shirts letting all know that they attended U-IS. Showing enthusiasm, seniors dressed as ghosts cheer on the football team.

The student could answer back, 'ilt is a Big Deal. Well, Lamar itself was big. On the first day enrollment was recorded at 1899. There were also some big changes. During the 1982-83 schoolyear the school board decided to close Bowie High School. The juniors there were told that they could choose which high school they wanted to attend during their senior year. This decision brought about 30 students and 6 teachers formerly of Bowie to Lamar. To the dismay of many, Activity Period was no longer scheduled on Wednesday mornings. No longer could students sleep in. lnstead, club meetings were held on Wednesdays between fourth and fifth period lunches from 12:15-12:45 p.m. Therefore, students had to decide whether to give up a little eating time to attend a meeting or give up a meeting to have a longer lunch. Rather than getting locker assignments when they registered, students were told that they would get them when school started. However, only the seniors got their locks and locker numbers on the first day in the traditional senior locker bank. In the days that followed, sophomores and juniors got theirs - but it sometimes took even longer to find them. New lockers could be found at the bottom of both stairwells and lining the already crowded halls. LLThe high school years are some of the best years of your life, or so it has been said. At any rate, high school life was more than just going to class and doing homework. Pep rallies, off-campus lunches, labs, passes from the office, group projects, good times with friends and as many other experiences as there were students would be remembered.

These were the moments that were not easily forgotten. Although powder puff football was dropped from the students' activltites, the Battle between the Class of '74 and '84 started a new tradition. There were still small things such as covering cars with streamers and shoe polish as well as other moments that kept school lively. Many felt it was their friends that were important in making occasions special and helping them get through the bad times. 6 Student Life Everyone easily recalled the big events that took place like pep rallies, football games, Homecoming and Prom. But, the little things stuck in one's mind also. Remember when that guy or girl you had been after for so long said hi in the hall? And also the time you fell down the stairs in front of everyone who had just gotten back from lunch? Whether funny, happy or embarrassing, these moments were well remembered as part of a student's life and they made going to Lamar High School a very big deal. Robert Stadler ft. .9 f my aaa ....

Once again, students had plenty of time to do the things they liked best. 'Hanging out at the drive-in was fun and gave us something to do on Monday nights, said Leslee Tiller, junior. Cruising Cooper and picking up guys were among Laura Clevenger's and Kim Speaker's summer pastimes. Other favorite activities were watching TV, lespecially soap operasl getting a tan, or going to parties all night and sleeping all day. Many students took part in workshops or school-sponsored trips. Ms. Wilma Smithson accompanied several students to Spain, Africa, England and France. The All-American Publications Workshop was attended by the editors of The Scroll and the Valhalla, while speech students led Lackman and Brian Hail went to Maine for a debate workshop. Cheerleaders could be found at the National Cheerleaders Association Camp at Southern Methodist University. Vacations, whether with a group of friends or family, were also popular.

Six Flags, White Water and Wet 'n Wild were popular places to visit as well as work. Towards the end of the summer, football players, Vi-Queens, cheerleaders and band members were already getting back llinto the grind with daily practices. Before long, another busy schoolyear would begin for everyone. Taking a break from swimming, Tom Swigert, Sara Layne and loey Cutrona sit near the wave pool at Wet 'n Wild. This summer was Wet 'n WiId's first season, with a one-day ticket costing 59.50. Full of activity, the coast of Padre Island provides a variety of recreation. Being so close to home, Padre was probably the most popular getaway spot for groups of students. Copy and layout by lohn Norris 9 5.1 .C U va N: D.

Ken Falling into the swing of things 'lRrrring! screamed the final bell. As the triumphant students congested the halls, the first of 175 school days was completed. Ah, relief at last! The beginning of school: Clean book covers, confusing locker combinations, schedule cards, parking stickers, index cards for teachers' filesg new clothes, wild haircuts, suntansg timid sophomores, confident juniors, bold seniors. What was the first of the school year really like? Naturally, it depended on who you were. For example, if you were a sophomore, Adam Murrell's description probably applied: 'll saw a lot of confused people do a lot of confusing things, and I was one of them. He also pinpointed another dilemma for many overwhelmed sophomores when he added, 'llt's so easy to get involved in too many things so that you don't have enough homework. Whoopee! In contrast, the comments of juniors reflected more assurance and less excitement about starting school. Iunior Michael Stumbaugh explained, 'lWhen school started, I was not ready for it. It felt like the summer just went by. But it was kind of nice being a junior instead of a sophomore - I didn't like being a sophomore. junior Hye-Ok Chang expressed mixed feelings: During the summer, I was rather bored, so I couIdn't wait until school started. Then, when school started, I couldn't wait for it to end. Seniors showed conflicting feelings about their last year of high school. For example, senior Greg Meyers stated, l'I didn't really look forward to school starting because I hate homework, but school is also good because you get to come back and meet people. up his attitudes. llSummer is heaven, especially last summer, but I looked forward to the people, activities and challenge of senior classes. However, a senior's perception of the first of the year could be drastically altered if he were from a foreign country. Senior Sachiko Yoshioka, an exchange student from japan, explained, I was really looking forward to school starting, but I was nervous. During summer, I couIdn't make many friends, so it was real boring. So people's perceptions of the beginning of school depended on their grade level, activities and just who they were. However, excitement and enthusiasm were universal, and these traits could easily be felt by simply trafficking through the halls between classes: The students conducted an almost tangible electricity. lMaybe it was not due to excitement, but to the density of bodies in the corridorslj time for the more important things like Alan Richbourg, another senior, summed have kiss? f 1' su..

Next year we expect to have a large Scroll staff and we might feel the size a bit more, said Kevin Edwards, Scroll staffer. Most of the construction, though, was yet to be completed. One noticeable job was that the lockers were unpainted and some students had to wait until the end of the first week to get one. 'lt took me four days to get a locker and another day to find it, said Shana Garrett, sophomore.

'As the clock wound around to 8:15 a.m., the cheerleaders could be seen making final preparations for the morning's events. The seniors were getting ready to display their l'theme of the week. As the band marched into the gym, the Vi-queens nervously waited to make their grand entrance. 'Pep rallies? They're killer, commented senior Cindy Patterson. Cindy went on to say that the rallies gave everyone a chance to be themselves. A special event occurred during the Homecoming rally when 92.5 KAFM FM's Paul Donavon, awarded the football team with 92.5 'lTeam of the week award. Skits were another addition to the pep rallies. The Madrigals, Keywanettes and German Club showed their support by performing. What did the players think?

Many students indulged by going out to eat on Fridays during lunchtime and, as usual, the sophomores hitched a ride. Waiting, waiting, and finally the bell rang to let the wild weekenders out of school. Everybody rushed off to go to work or do odd jobs before going out Friday night.

However, it kept growing and changing and became a metropolis in itself. For instance, when Lamar was opened 14 years ago, Arlington's population was about 90,000 ln 1984, that number had increased to 200,000 This growth resulted mainly from job opportunities available in and around Arlington. In the '50s, the opening of the General Motors Assembly Plant and the development of Great Southwest Industrial Park brought in workers and their familes. Because of its location, Arlington was an ideal home for those who wanted to make the 30-minute commute to the larger cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. An increase of facilities followed the surge of population. ln the '70s, Six Flags was opened, Arlington Stadium fhome of the Texas Rangersl was built and Arlington State College became UTA. As time went on, neither the population nor the construction stopped growing. The Hilton, Wet 'n Wild and the Lincoln Square shopping center emerged in 1983. A new convention center and hotel were planned for what was once the amusement park Seven Seas and would be called Sheraton Park Cities Central. Located on the outskirts of Arlington, Neiman-Marcus built The Greenhouse, a nationally-known health spa with clients ranging from Brooke Shields to Lady Bird Johnson. Building and improving roads also became necessary. Approximately 750 miles were maintained throughout Arlington. The enlargement of Cooper fthe best cruising streetl was a project to be completed in 1985. The Fielder House Museum displayed much about the history of Arlington through records and antiquities. 22 Photo Essay os Kennon Cogdell All Phot Division Street at night Lincoln Square Christmas Tree uouuayq ,,-if'-3. by B ,N Q X x , ,5, UTA Lobby 1129903 iil. if-. -'fc- ' 1 .. , .,.-, f' '?gZ ? , , Q , , p 'Q I.

Located nearby in Grand Prairie were White Water, The Wax Museum, ln- ternational Wildlife Park and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Along with Ranger baseball, pro football could be found in the Dallas Cowboys whose stadium was in Irving and the Dallas Mavericks, the pro basketball team whose home court was Reunion Arena in Dallas. The Metroplex had its share of military establishments. Carswell Air Force Base, for example, was a Strategic Air Command base in Fort Worth and the Dallas Naval Air Station was located in Grand Prairie. Dallas hosted the State Fair of Texas while Fort Worth had its annual Fat Stock Show. The Dallas! Fort Worth Airport, one of the largest airports in the world, was opened in the '70s. lt was built less than 10 miles from downtown Arlington and made the city accessible to the whole world. Culture found its place in the Metroplex through institutions like the Kimball Art Museum, Amon Carter Museum of Western Art, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. By 1990, the population of Arlington is expected to be more than 250,000. So whatever happened to the open prairies and herds of cattle?

Records were set with 18 consecutive days of temperatures below freezing. Many found themselves unable to leave their homes because of snow and ice. The new year had begun and so had school again. People had mixed feelings on coming back to school after 16 days of vacation. junior Lynne Chupp commented, 'The first day back, l wanted to be home asleep e big chill and be able to watch my soap operas. Some, however, felt differently. I was glad for school to start because the holiday was getting boring and l was ready to see everyone again, remarked sophomore lulianne Adams. The Home and Family Living classes performed their mock weddings and finals were taken as the first semester ended. The new semester began the Friday immediately after finals which in the past had been a holiday. This resulted when the Monday after New Year's Day was added to the Christmas vacation.

Then Tuesday night - the Graduation ceremony. And, everyone else was home studying for a change. On Wednesday, some classes were cut short and the first finals were taken in periods 0, 6 and 7. Thursday, the end was near as underclassmen took their 3, 4 and 5 exams and left school early at 1:30 p.m. Finally, the big day arrived. The last two tests were taken, school was dismissed at 10:55 a.m. and everyone headed for the lake. Sophomores were called sophomores for the last time, and the juniors had finally made it to the top. All of these events of course described the last week of school. Although feelings varied, everyone was ready to leave. junior Andee Russell said, 'lThe last week means it's time to party. Sophomore Raul Taylor stated, UNO more being a sophomore and more time to party. Since some seniors would never see eacl' other again, many had mixed emotions. Senior Steve Stewart commented, 'lYou can't wait for the end but once it comes, it is sad. Ms, Kay Marshall said, l'lt is hard for the teachers as well as the students because everyone wants to graduate and all the teachers want to pass them. But you also have to be fair. Overall, everyone thought it was a good year. But they were ready to get out.

To students and faculty, it was. Sophomores who finally got a taste of high school, juniors who looked forward to being seniors, and seniors who took advantage of their last year of school all strived to make use of 'the best years of their lives. Not only did students use their free education to its greatest extent, but students also had a common bond between them to make Lamar one of the top schools in the state. For instance, when eight seniors were 54 People fined for painting the traditional bridge, students, as well as teachers, started a 'tfund to help pay for those fines. The unique blend of faculty promoted not only a sound education, but a sense of school pride and spirit, too. Teachers displayed school support in various ways - from standing up for Lamar when local newspapers seemed unfavorable to helping start a lunchline in the cafeteria with improved food. Most of the people associated with Lamar had a special feeling for the school and within themselves proved that attending Lamar WAS a Big Deal! eopl athered in the library, sophomores listen atientlyij to orientation speeches.

Nearly 250 students, most of whom were seniors, chose not to take a seventh period class. Seniors could get out as early as 12:30 p.m., while juniors were required to stay until 1:30 p.m. and sophomores had to stay the entire day. These students had a variety of ways to fill their time. Some watched soaps while others worked in the afternoons. Other simply enjoyed not having to go to school and the freedom of not having to do anything. Senior Betty Sue Anderson said, l like getting out at 12:30 p.m. because I can work in the afternoons and have my evenings free. She also added that it was easier to find an afternoon job because most of the other teens went to school at that time. junior Paul Skrtic also liked being able to leave school early and especially liked the way the parking lot wasn't so crowded at 2:30 p.m. He said he would definitely be getting out early next year, too. Whether these early birds got out at 12:30 p.m. or at 2:30 p.m., they all enjoyed the extra time that allowed them to do their own thing. sm Cflll Ns NIHAL vn- Preparing for surgery, senior Vicki Williams cleans a cat's paws.

For many, graduation was a beginning of higher education rather than an end to schooling. Deciding on a college involved much consideration, and many seniors reached their decisions through campus visits. Students were allowed three excused absences for these excursions. lanna Yarak, regarding her visit to Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., stated, l'I went because I felt it would be a good experience and a great chance to see what college life was really like. Was college what she had anticipated? 'lit was what I expected, but the classes were larger, the curriculum harder and the weather colder. Dana Gibbs, who visited Rice University in the spring of her junior year added, Ill wanted to see what it was like. The students were a lot less serious than I thought they'd be - they were more into partying than I expected. But I didn't visit' any classes, so I didn't see the academic side of it. Michelle DeVoe, who journeyed witl Barbara lensen to Austin College in thl summer before their senior year commented, llThe campus is real nice, bu the location of Sherman turned me off there's not even a McDonaId's! i So visiting a college campus helped eas the burden of deciding, but that was onl half the battle.

Matt Eastus said, 'lOne single test can't determine one's ability. Myra Thrower agreed, llSometimes people do badly on a big test just because they didn'thaveagood day. She also didn't believe that an SAT score should determine whether or not students were accepted by a college. There was a bright side to the SAT and ACT, though. Students could take them over and over again for a better score. Thinking hard, junior Mike Grogan takes a test. Some students preferred essay tests while others liked multiple choice and matching questions.

Most of the kids could get mummie's Caddie every now and then, but some had their own Mazdas, BMW's and Porsches. 'l appreciate the industrial design of the cars as well as the precision engineering, said Scott Foster. The cars were easily identified-being low to the ground, two-seaters-with pop-up headlights and sleek aerodynamic appearances. l used to drive a station wagon and leave the parking lot in a hurry. Now that l've got my 911, l take my time, said Todd Hullender. The cars usually ran into five figures. Mark Becker said that the large number of sports cars typified the wealth at Lamar. Lisa Hughes went on to say, l'My 'vette is a blast to cruise around in. l get a lot of attention and love it! Going topless, Todd Hullender and Greg Hayes show off their pride and joy.

A typical meeting lasted about an hour nd a half and consisted of skits, games and the Christian group. The group canoed down the Guadalupe in October, held its annual hayride and square dance in November, skied down the snow-covered slopes of Colorado in December and had a Poloroid scavenger hunt in February. They also went horseback riding, mountain climbing, rappelling and swimming on their trip to Colorado in August last summer.

The Sophomore Class officers were the first to unify the Class of '86 with freshmen coming from Shackelford and Nichols lunior Highs. The officers were elected in the fall along with the representatives selected from English classes. A representative or alternate was expected to attend all meetings and report back to each English class what class council's plans were. Their first major project was decorating the hall for Homecoming Week. They chose a Star Wars theme covering the hall in black plastic, foil stars and characters from the movie. Sophomore Class Council representatives are front row: Kim Fisher, lill larratt, Amy Patterson , lackie Manahan, Anne Ellington, Shawnna Boone and Sara Layne.

Officers were Bill Thorburn, president: Marie Godell, vice president: Anne Ellington, secretary: Shawnna Boone, treasurer and Cathy Kunkle, girls social chairman. 112 Sophomores 1Abbott-Carlsonj Whitney Davidson who came up with the idea said, UA Star Wars theme just popped in my head and they went for it. Sophomore Class sponsor Ms. Carol McLeod said, l'They're a super class. Artistic, enthusiastic and willing to work together for a common goal. Another sponsor, Ms. Cindy Roepke said that the kids had high hopes of winning. However, at the Homecoming game, the sophomores were mistakenly announced as the winners. The results were misread and the seniors had actually won. Ms. Roepke went on to say that it seemed that when the sophomores lost, class council, as a whole, lost interest in other activities. However, the officers tried to hole things together. l'Being an officer gives me an opportunit' to get involved with the leadership of ou class and contribute something to m' school, said vice president Marie Godell As officers, the students were able tl learn about purchase orders, profit margin and how to balance the books as well a leadership abilities.

Today, girls still like to adorn their necks, many with twister beads. These beads came in a variety of colors and were made of garnet, jade, onyx and other semi-precious stones. They were usually worn in a combination of two or three colors, yet some girls opted for one. The beads were held together by a large gold clasp usually in the shape of a sea shell. I like my twister beads because they're a colorful way to dress up almost everything l wear, said Sara Layne. Add-a-bead necklaces, big from last year, were still going strong. These necklaces were made of gold, smooth or fluted beads of various sizes and purchased one at a time or all at once with the beads encircling the neck. Sometimes pearls were added to the necklaces and the more school-spirited girls added blue lapis beads. They're great, but they're really getting to be one of those status items like Polos. lf you don't have one, your're not in with what's going on, said lulie Adams. Though times change, girls don't.

However, some sophomores were fortunate enough to have their own car or a friend or brother orsister who wouldtakethem to lunch away from Lamar for 55 minutes. The drawbacks to staying on campus may not have been that the food was so bad. It was just that not many people wanted to stay in when the opportunity to leave was there. Sophomores were not the only ones in the cafeteria, either. Some juniors and seniors stayed in as well - to study or even because they liked the food. Sophomore Bill Thorburn said, llThe lines are too long and the service is too slow. Michael Gottschalk agreed, 'llt takes too long to get your food. ' Surprisingly enough, many sophomores were able to 'bum a ride from someone they knew - or even someone they did not know very well.

However, some things were new for seniors and juniors as well, such as the new time for Activity Period. Lamar has had an Activity Period in one form or another since the school opened in 1970. This year, the time for Activity Period was changed from morning to early afternoon, between the lunch periods. Last year, it lasted from 8:15 a.m. to 8:55 a.m. every Wednesday, shortening the morning classes. Although Activity Period was still on Wednesdays, now it started at 12:15 p.m. and lasted until 12:45 p.m., shortening both lunches and five minutes from the afternoon classes. According to the administration, the reason for the change was to improve club attendance and to cut down on morning tardies. There was a variety of things to do during Activity period. Every other Wednesday, Student Council met. On the other Wednesdays, clubs, such as AFS or the newly formed Chemistry Club, met. Another popular activity was having an extra long lunch period. A not-so-popular thing to do was to make up tests. However, Lamar was the only school in Arlington to be able to say that it had an Activity Period every week. 126 Sophomores 1SaIinas-Tranj Stacey Shaw Robert Sheffer Traci Shelburg Kim Shelton Marvilyn Sherrill Leanne Sievers Stefanie Sign Carol Silas Lynne Silva james Silver Alison Smith Billy Smith Kristie Smith Rebel Smith Rick Smith Shelley Smith Billy Smithers Lim Sok Renee Southers Tracy Spann Karen Stephens Tom Stephens Beth Stepp Anne Stewart Christy Stewart Mary Stewart Brian Stone Duane Stone Renee Stone Eleni Stoycos Greg Stricklin Kendra Suarez lason Sullivan Arthur Swanner Tom Swigert Shellina Tarmohamed lana Tarrant Dana Taylor Felicia Taylor Raul Taylor Charlene Teague Rat Telephone Mike Telle Diana Teresso Michael Teresso Scott Thomas Bill Thorburn Mark Thornton Connie Tidwell Davey Tidwell Diane Timothy Fidel Torres Ren Totty Greg Trammell Keith Trammell Thai Tran Copy and layout by Donna Wallace 127 Chris Trimble Mike Truelock Melanie Truitt Shannon Tucker Bruce Turner Terri Turner Alli Twohey lennifer Ulesoo Melinda Umphers Audrey Vaclavik Cindy Valenti Angela Valentine Myra Vales Paul Van Blaricum .5 To s cceed at the game of love Why should l ask her out?

Since the 1950s, the cost of dating jumped 4.19 percent. An average date in 1984 consisted of going to dinner at one of the popular restaurants such as Friday's, Bennigan's or Cheddar's and attending a movie. A date could cost a guy from S15 to 5100. Smiling playfully, sophomores Kelley Boyd and Mike Whatley display their feelings of spring fever. Though lots of students chose to date around, many preferred the companionship of one special person. Disagreeing on the subject, sophomores Valerie Ford and john Mclendon are caught in the act. Differences of opinion were common among couples, especially those who dated a steady. 128 Sophomores fTrimbIe-Ziesemannj SSLIOI PUEf ZSOIU These facts of modern day dating were astronomical compared to the cost of parents' dating days. However, some found that going to a party, having a picnic or staying at home together could be romantic when high cost began to put a damper on fun. There were also numerous school activities such as sports events, plays and dances to keep a couple entertained. Several people commented on what made their first date most difficult. And, the answer was not unusual. Parents! 'lEven after I have dated someone fc awhile, l still feel funny meeting a girl' parents, stated sophomore Mik Whatley.

We vii My xii The faculty that plays together ilhey could be seen giggling in doorways tween classes, congregating in class- oms after school, gossipping in the halls fore the school day began. Who were they? Teachers. While they are separated from their colleagues during iss time and surrounded by students, my friendships among teachers enhanced air time spent both on the job and off. According to Ms. Wilma Hill, common rests and activities influenced the ndships she made with other faculty .mbers. Ms. Fry, Ms. Alexander and l are good Ends. We all had the same conference riod the first year I was here, and we have ildren about the same age. Even though n much younger, we have approximately e same interests. The Alexanders and the Is go to the beach every summer for a ek. A he added, 'I think it's easier to know the Hsecret paI tradition at Christmas is an excellent way to get to know new people on the faculty. She went on to saythat she and Ms. Ronda McNew, co-sponsors of the Math-Science team, 'lpractically live together during UIL season, when we take so many trips. Ms. McNew spoke of another outside activity shared by faculty members. l'Some of the teachers belong to a produce co-op. Everyone chips in S10 and every two weeks someone goes to the Farmer's Market. We never go to the grocery store to buy fruit and vegetables anymore. She added, 'lWe go out to eat and we take our kids places together. You get to know people who have your conference period, but it's one of our goals to get one large workroom so that we can get to know the entire faculty. As it is, teachers mostly get to know those who go the same workroom for the presence of two workrooms had a segregating effect. Teachers mostly established friendships with those in their workroom or who had the same conference or lunch period. The friendships made during this time in school extended to out-of-school hours. Ms. Yleen George commented, llThere's a great deal of camaraderie. There are teachers who participate in exercise classes together. Ms. Ward, Ms. Deterly, Ms. Mayfield and l shop together. Ms. Mayfield's little boy and my little boy are in the same class. We also go to graduate school together, Ms. Mayfield, Ms. Deterly and l are all working on a Master's degree at TWU. So, like students, teachers did things outside of school with friends. Ms. Hill summed it up, 'Although everyone seems to be so busy, we enjoy it so much when we do get together. as they. ple within your department because Thus, faculty unity was a common goal, u have many of the same students.

Teaching: It often involved long hours. It rquired much paperwork. It was not onsidered a high-paying profession. Then what was its appeal? Why did eachers teach? They pursued a career in ducation for a variety of reasons, all evolving around a central theme which ivolved students. Ms. Sharie Bailey, speech! drama teacher, zated, I enjoy working with high school tudents. Probably the best part is seeing :udents develop from sometimes very shy wdividuals into young people with a lot of If-confidence and a new, bright If-image. Because of the different students d the creativity involved in what I teach, is never boring. There is something new o experience every day. What aspects of the Host rewarding? Ms. Lynda Alexander, commented, 'The good part is kids. You know rf profession were history teacher, interaction with the ly whether you're doing a good or a bad job because there is NR instantaneous feedback. Also, it's just fun to see people get excited about something they haven't gotten excited about before. Ms. ludy jones, math teacher, added, Ill love it because it's never boring. I tried leaving teaching, and I lasted two months. Year after year, you get new students. Some years are good and some are bad, but they're never boring! Mr. Paul Anderson, businessteacher, said, 'll like the students and working with other teachers. Teachers are contributing to the future of these kids. Did teaching the same subject year after year become monotonous? Ms. Alexander replied, UNO, because students' reaction to it changes from year to year. For example, when the economy is bad, students are more interested when we study the Depression. Also, the students are all different, so it doesn't get boring. What initially drew them into teaching? A genuine enthusiasm for the subject was a prime motivation. M Jajpetg uaqog J N, xg., 3 , .. According to Ms. Bailey, Ill was involved in drama and choir in high school, and I started out as an English major with a theater minor in college. When I reached my junior year I switched because theater was so much more exciting and interesting. Ms. Alexander added, Ill had a particularly interesting college professor who knew all the gossip about historical figures, which made them seem like real people instead of marble statues or something. I also had good history teachers in high school. Ms. jones said, l'I'm one of those people who has always known what I wanted to do. l've wanted to be a teacher since third grade. The drawbacks to teaching which sprang most readily to teachers' minds en- compassed the long hours and self-discipline required to complete all the paperwork. At any rate, like any profession, teaching had its ups and downs, pros and cons. Yet the cons involved the technical aspects of the field, while the pros stemmed from the personal aspects - the students. fun . ,I 54,54 ,.v Grading papers, Ms. Connie Rogers works during her conference period to stay caught up.

Mr. lones kept the parking problem under control and could even be seen personally checking cars for correct parking stickers. Ms. Stockton, as well as the other administrators, would sometimes evaluate teachers' classes. One of the changes that tht administration made was the time of Activit' Period. The club time was moved fron Wednesday morning to a 30 minute tim: slot between fourth and fifth periods.

What. i'Oh, no! The college I want to go to requires two years of foreign language! Luckily, Lamar was prepared to solve that problem. In addition to the required four years of English, there were courses in Spanish, French, Latin and German. Spanish was by far the most popular language, with 18 classes. All other language classes combined totalled 21. Many people chose to take Spanish because of the closeness of the Mexican border and the need to communicate. Natalie Ybarra chose Latin because 'it helps build my vocabulary, since a lot of Fnslish words are derived from Latin. Shelley Heizer took Latin to help her in English and Spanish classes, while Sandra McCollum took it to help her career in medicine. Arthur Anderson liked French because lt's a romantic language. Carol Miller took both French and Latin because she enjoyed learning other languages. Kevin Edwards learned German because his family was German and he wanted to learn more of the German culture.

Although many went to Padre or Colorado, a few adventurous students went to Europe. Ms. Carolyn Brannen, Ms. Mary Kay Marshall and their husbands supervised the trip to Italy. Thirty-one Latin students and one Lamar ex-student went on the nine day trip during Spring Break. The Brannens have gone to Italy five times in the last six years, taking groups of students with them. However, Ms. Brannen said she felt that the trip this year was the best ever, When you have good kids, you have a good time. One of the things students commented on was how friendly everyone was. They said the Italians were always willing to help and many spoke English. Another thing students discovered was that there was no drinking age. Ms. Brannen said that some didn't bother having wine with their meal while others preferred the novelty of no drinking age. Other differences between Italy and America were cars and how the people drove. Natalie Ybarra said IIThere aren't any lines dividing the streets so people drive wherever they feel like. The cars are half as big as ours and even the trucks are small. Last summer, Ms. Wilma Smithson took six Spanish students to Spain. They visite Madrid, Malaga, Toledo and Seville, as we as going to London and Paris. Angela Nagy like the Valley of the Falle near Madrid the most. Illt was peaceful ant its size and beauty were overwhelming.

'lBecause it's funl was the main reason. Each club hosted a variety of activities throughout the year. The Foreign Language party was held for the members of all language clubs. Any member who wanted to attend was required to bring a dish representative of his language's cuisine. The members then had a tasting session, followed by dancing and the breaking of a pinata. The Mardi Gras party was for the members of the French and Spanish Clubs. They elected Cindy Grimland queen and Greg Bailey king of the Mardi Gras. In addition to the all-language club parties, each club had its own activities. AFS sponsored AFS Week and the AFS assembly, where foreign exchange students talked about their countries. They also sold pictures of students posing with Mr. and Mrs. Claus Nice Principal Dee Didriksen and Ms. Nancy Ericksonl. They had a computer dating service as well.

Though at times this statement may have seemed true, I can tell you from experience that writing and producing the yearbook was definitely more than ever met the eye. Also, though I was not on The Scroll after seeing the members of its staff around deadline time, I can easily speak on their behalf as well. Then what did go on in room 121? To begin with, each student was assigned several topics to write. With this, the real work began. To compose one I'simple 30 or 40 line story, a journalist had to set up various interviews, hunt up facts, collect numerous quotes from students and faculty, and then compile them all in a very precise journalistic manner using a mixture of wit and originality. Upon completion of that task, a layout must be drawn. Also known as a double page spread, it consisted of a llblock of copy, which is what you are reading, several captions, or explanations that must appear with each picture, and from four to eight photographs. The subject of photography brings up an entirely different aspect of journalism. There is no need to tell you that without pictures, the yearbook would be merely an assemblage of black print on a background of white. Yet procrastination on a journalist's part could turn an otherwise tame darkroom into a furious race against the clock. Though the photographers were viewed as calm, cool and collected students, the sight of one of them trying to meet a deadline could quickly change anyone's opinion about our class being easy. Yet, in the end, the feelings of accomplishment as we read the finished product made the effort and extra hours seem to pay off. If 160 Groups that Publish xvdf, ff?

The National Honor Society went to the Veda Knox School on Dec. 9 to give the students a Christmas party. NHS members also offered their time and knowledge in a free tutoring service for students during their lunch periods. The honor society, a national organ- ization, required members to maintain a grade point average of 10.0 or better. Hiten Patel said, ul think it is important to have an organization which recognizes students who do well in class.

All nine National Merit Semifinalists advanced to Finalist rank - more than any other high school in the metroplex. In addition, Lamar emerged as one of 12 schools nominated as exemplary by the Texas Education Agency. 182 Academics The impressive statistics may have been a Big Deal, but the small things made Lamar's academic climate an even bigger deal. The camaraderie among faculty and between teachers and students created an encouraging scholastic environment. Making a lB' on a Calculus test you thought you had failed, mastering a new declension in German, finishing homework before the last minute, or just enjoying a class were all little Big Deals.

The imagination need not have roamed ar to envision this situation, one which Mr. I. Ross Perot, chairman of the Texas Select Iommittee on Public Education, advo- ated, In an attempt to upgrade and overhaul the lexas public education system, Mr. Perot nd the Select Committee submitted a lariety of other proposals. These included: l OAlonger school dayfor any studentwho EVBS failing any course. The extra time would devoted to remedial classes in failed urses. 0 Enactment of a new state law which 'ould allow school districts to fine parents 'hose children posed chronic discipline 'oblems. 0 An exception to the state's compulsory tendance law which would permit a udent to leave school at age 15 in order to pursue vocational training or college. Moreover, Mr. Perot's committee hoped to create a better public education system by attracting a greater number of competent teachers. The means to accomplish this goal lay in making teaching a more financially appealing profession: The committee approved a career ladder plan which would allow more competent teachers to draw the same salary as administrators while remaining in the classroom. In addition, the Texas Education Agency suggested to the committee a 36.8 'Ks pay increase in teacher salaries. How did the controversy over the committee's proposals affect Lamar? Many students expressed mixed opinions. Senior Rob Wick exclaimed, 'Ross is the Anti-Christ! He represents an erosion of faith. Actually, l agree with him, but that doesn't make a good quote. Sophomore Peter Ponce stated, Nl think that Mr. Perot's intentions are valid, but the method through which he wants to carry out his ideas is flawed.

He is threatening to take away every last bit of our emotional, educational and mental freedom to participate in extracurricular activities. lunior jared Lackman added, 'While l feel that many of Mr. Perot's proposals have merit in that the basics of education have been neglected, an overzealous, charis- matic leader like Mr. Perot can destroy many valuable extracurricular programs in an attempt to overhaul the system. Thus, several students supported Mr. Perot's intentions, yet they opposed the manner of execution by which these goals might be attained. lt remained to be seen how extensive an impact the committee's proposals would have on Lamar and on Texas public education at large. For the time being, one had to imagine the public education system envisioned by Mr. Perot and the Select Committee, one which might exist in the future with both its flaws and its merits. Facing their English Ill class, juniors participate in a group report on Flight by john Steinbeck. The fact that four years of English were required to graduate in Texas indicated that the strengthening of students' verbal skills was emphasized.

'II would definitely :ommend it to anyone who has the ssibility of taking Calculus in college. It also helped my math SAT score. Greg Nee enrolled in Chemistry II as a junior. The college-prep course involved intense labs and no daily grades- only tests. Greg said, I did not anticipate whether or not it would be difficult when I signed up. I wasn't even thinking about it. I definitely would not recommend the course to everyone. Anybody could take it, but most people could fail! Senior Dana Gibbs, also a Chemistry II student, added, It's very comprehensive. I signed up because I knew I needed to take it. I enjoyed Chemistry I and wanted to continue. She advised others, 'llf you are not really interested in the subject, you shouIdn't take lt. What made these courses seem more difficult? In science classes such as Chemistry II and Biology Il, it was the fact that only test grades and lab grades were taken. In order to keep up, a student had to decide to study on his own, for no homework was assigned. Senior Kim McClure, a Trigonometry! AG student, described the difficulty of math courses. It's having homework everyday and it's having to keep up because you build on what you've learned throughout the year. You can't just forget stuff after the test. However, most students who took these courses advised others to do the same. Hye-Ok, who took Trigonometry! EA, Chemistry I and Biology II her junior year, commented, 'Il think people should try to take as many science and math courses as they can because a lot of things in life are scientific and mathematical. Thus, while the advanced science and math courses may have sounded scary, and even may have been tough at times, most of those students enrolled in them lived to tell about them and even to recommend them to others!

The study, entitled, l'Lamar High School Ilow-Up of 1982 Graduating Class, inducted in Dec. 1983, consisted of 10 iestions, plus a request for comments out Lamar's curriculum. Out of the 564 iestionnaires mailed, 191 were returned: iere was a 34'X, response. Of those 1982 aduates responding, 84'X, were presently fending college, 3'Zs were in business or ide school, 11? were working full time, d W. were enlisted in military service. Some of the individual comments and ggestions included: 'lOverall, every department at Lamar wiped me in one way or another. Lamar has ot of excellent teachers. - Tiffany Burke, xas Tech University. Students should be required to take more courses - especially math, English and science courses. - Kim Cajacob, Texas A8tM University. llln general, Lamar did well to prepare me for college, but I think I could have been better prepared in several areas. - Drew Child, UTA. The main complaint, if I have one at all, deals with the fact that I, myself, did not take advantage of all the courses offered at Lamar. Motivation of the students is crucial, and wouIdn't it be great if the high school could take care of that! Anyway, the programs at Lamar are very beneficial to my college success. - Cam Cline, Texas A8tM. 'lYes, I was well prepared thanks to Lamar for the most part, but it took lots of initiative Above all, keep your good teachers and get more, they are the backbone of Lamar. - Paul Havlak, Rice University ,I x xc as A V5.0 g YN, K -..A Wy, Doug Henderson 'I must say that Lamar could improve a lot. The biggest problem is motivation. This is hard to change . . . Students tend to brag on how much they don't do. - lanice lnskeep, UTA. There are two other areas which I think should be emphasized at Lamar. One is very simple - use of the library. The only place I have been lost in Austin is in the main library. l think it is important to know how to use the library before you get out of high school. - Samara Lackman, University of Texas. While Lamar was not fault free, overall, alumni seemed to feel that their alma mater had prepared them adequately for the real world. In addition, many blamed themselves for not having actively taken advantage of the preparation Lamar's curriculum had to offer.

The school board definitely believed that these courses were necessary, as their credits amounted to about one-third of the total needed to graduate. Students also seemed to agree that the electives were beneficial. Amy Lansing said, They help you prepare for college. Paul Goelzer said, They're great because electives let students look into different fields of occupations. 192 Electives Classes such as typing, art, shop and homemaking gave students certain acquired skills. Lisa Leu said, Electives widen your career opportunities!! The fact that the electives could be chosen by the students themselves was also helpful. Elizabeth Wardell said, I think a lot of people enjoy school more because they pick some of their own classes.

In more general terms, he stated, Ill think anyone who says he doesn't get nervous would be lying. My level of nervousness has decreased to a minimum because of my experience in speech, but we all get nervous before an audience. He added, ul think that learning to speak in front of people is extremely important. Communication with other people is a necessity, we can't get along in a world without communication.

While giving oral reports 4? 7 . does not help me learn more about a subject - it just makes me more nervous -it helps me to get up in front of people. lt's good experience for relating to people later in life, like for a job interview. Chris described another advantage for him from oral reports. When we have to memorize a speech, we usually learn the material better. Thus, while it may have been unpleasant and frightening, most students felt that they ultimately benefited from having to get up in front of the class. . . . a few words formed in your mouth and reached your audience as you haltingly began.

So many English electives to choose from and so little time Why were there so many English electives for seniors? According to Ms. Marilyn Critzer, The curriculum planners found that students are not robots! They need a varied structure with many different course offerings. The individuality of the plan is really important. How did a student decide which course or courses to take his senior year? Ms. Critzer felt that personal interest would be a prime motivator. She added, 'II think that Core-A and Grammar Comp are courses that many students would take to have a strong background for college. Also, I encourage my students to take Shakespeare or World Lit, which are taught like college English courses.

Senior Todd Ellington enrolled in Grammar Composition his first semester and Core-A his final semester. Which did he prefer? Grammar Comp was a breeze, Core-A is hard - harder than junior Honors English. But I like Core-A because we don't have as much homework, except it's a lot pickier. How did he feel about switching from Honors, which he took his freshman, sophomore and junior years, to regular English his senior year? 'Il think I learned more in Honors, but l've been taught more useful stuff in Grammar Comp. I took the course because I wanted to learn how to express myself in writing. Senior Suzette Strong also opted to take Grammar Composition for her first semester and Core-A the second. She stated, My counselor said tha Grammar Comp would be a goof college-prep course, but I like Core-A mucl better. I just don't like to write. Senior Rob Wick took Honors Englisl throughout high school. About senio Honors he commented, llMr. Brannon' class gives a good understanding ant comprehension of literature. He concen trates on the broad, important ideas. Thus, there was a world of elective offered, each specifically tailored to I particular student's needs, for the senio year provided a final chance for prospective college students to strengthen their verba skills. However, Developmental Reading wa: discontinued by the state as an English credit It would henceforth be offered to student: only as a straight elective credit.

No matter what the sport, practices were a part of an athlete's life. ln return for those hours and hours of physical exhaustion, an athlete - depending upon the sport - might have gotten to play for 20 minutes in a game once or twice a week. Was it worth it? Most athletes thought so. Varsity volleyball player Ronda Waldrop said, The practices were long and hard, but they got us back into shape. The volleyball team as well as the football team began practices in August. They worked out twice a day for several hours. After school began, the athletes were often up at school until 6 p.m. With all the complaints about practicing, it would seem most athletes hated it. Although some did, others felt practicing wasn't quite so bad. Varsity soccer player Debbie Devine said, l'Even though we complained a lot, the practices helped us grow together as a tear We learned to work together. lV basketball player Greg Bailey addel lt's hard, but it's not that bad. And, it ge you prepared for the game. Although practicing had its good pointsi well as bad, most athletes agreed that to l: good, you had to practice.

Different opponents made the coaches and athletes think about different things. Mike Waters, varsity football player, said, 'lThe day of the Arlington High game, l couldn't think of anything but the game. However, before the Homecoming game against Burleson, everyone thought more about their dates and dinner plans than the Elks. The coaches agreed that on the days of big games, the coaches' office was much more serious and any conversation was about the players and the game, The coaches told the players not to talk to their girlfriends and to concentrate on the game all day long. During the week, practices conditioned the athletes physically and on game day, the coaches' pep talks helped condition them mentally. For some, the day went slowly, as they thought about the opposing team. For others, it went quickly asthe anticipation and tension mounted. Competing with other schools, the girls cross country team races for first. The cross country course was two miles long. 216 Game Day Kneeling, Coach Eddy Peach leads the football players in prayer.

The girls in only their second year of existence, captured the bi-district championship title, but lost in a shoot-out by one point during the regional play-offs. The boys also lost an important game on a questionable call. However, the boys claimed the number two title in the entire state. This was the farthest any soccer team from Lamar had ever gone. Also, both the girls and the boys were coached by the same man, Coach l.C. Little. Although many players commented that Coach Little was the reason for the outstanding soccer teams, Coach Little didn't agree. He explained, llCood athletes make good coaches. The girls soccer team played its second varsity season, captured its second district title and added the bi-district title. The girls finished with a 20-3 season. Were there any particularly strong players on the team? Coach Little replied, llYou don't get to regional play-offs without a team of strong players. A controversial call, handball in the box, cost the girls the regional play-offs. Denise Suarez commented, ul felt that the best team didn't go to the state play-offs and we tLamari would have won state. Lisa Michell experienced both pride and disappointment, 'lEven though the last game was a 232 Girls and Boys Soccer e .471 letdown, we played a good game and l hope they get to state next year. The boys did advance to the state play-offs. They beat Brownsville Porter and played Richardson Pearce for the state title. They also lost by one point, and many question that one point. The game was played in rainy weather and goalie Robert Watkins lost control of the ball because of the slippery conditions. The official said the ball crossed the goal line. Watkins said it didn't. 'The ball wasn't in at all. I fell on it while it was on the goal line. The whole ball has to be across the goal line for it to be a goal and it wasn't, he said. lohn Vina continued, 'lWe had all the right ingredients to win stateg a lot of returning starters, excellent players, raw ability, Coach Little's coaching and the desire. Although the loss hurt, the players looked back with pride. Mike Waters stated, 'At first the whole season seemed disappointing, but after awhile we realized it was really great to get that far, especially since no one expected us tO. Vina added, l'The soccer program at Lamar, as a whole, gained a lot of respect this season. Coach Little also felt that the soccer teams have proved themselves as an exceptionally talented and respected program at Lamar. 'lThey represented Lamar well on and off the field. ff 'it Nl Going up, Peggy Wheeler prepares to head the ball. The girls were bi-district champs for the first time. c 0 4 as 3 2 .

While a few Viking athletes had a hard time keeping up with their studies, most were good students that were able to budget their time between school work and sports. Soccer practices and games interfered with my studies, but my grades didn't decrease, said Debbie Devine. Other athletes felt that the time taken up in their sports required them to get their acts together and be prepared, especially since most sports were practiced every day with a game or meet approximately once a week. 'Sometimes it's hard when practices and no work. meets run into studying time, but this force us to be more organized. l tend to wor more quickly and accurately when l know l've got a meet or a hard practice, sail swimmer Amy Burkle. Some Vikes felt there were no conflict with their sports and studies. 'lWe just missed a few days of school and our practices didn't really keep me fron getting my work done, said tennis playe Kimberly Rucker.

They meet together to name players to First, Second and Honorable Mention All-District teams. The coaches begin by nominating the outstanding players from their own teams. After that, nominations could be made by a coach from another team. Next, all coaches vote on the players. However, a coach may not vote for a player from his or her own team. The All-District teams are then selected. For sports that do not have teams - such as tennis, swimming and track - the top finishers in the sport are awarded with All-District honors.

Yelavich Now will you clean your room? Love, Mommee Compiled by Kathi Harper 291 Bigger - not better As the days continued to go by, they also continued to bring many Big Deals with them. lt seemed as if all aspects of Lamar managed to provide important happenings. The soccer teams gave both students and faculty a reason to celebrate. The girls became bi-district champs while the boys placed second in the state -the best any LHS sports team had ever done. Even more impressive was the fact that soccer had only been a UIL sport for two years. The performers excelled with their production of t'Bye, Bye, Birdie. Orchestra and band members, drama and choir students, as well as others came together to present this year's bi-annual musical. Academically, Lamar students continued to be forerunners. For the fourth year in a row, LHS captured the district title in UIL Literary competition. Also, with nine, Lamar once again had the largest number of National Merit Finalists in Tarrant County. Moreover, all Vikings were proudly able to boast that their school was recognized by the Texas Education Association as one of the best schools in the nation. No other AlSD high school could say that. Events like Prom, the Awards Assembly and Graduation stood out as Big Deals. Finding the perfect dress, receiving an award and successfully crossing the stage were some special moments. The passing of days also brought more changes. The cafeteria offered a new lunch line, patio furniture was placed outside, and silk plants brightened up the atmosphere. ln addition, Cokes could be purchased at anytime during the day, unlike past years where a - federal ruling prohibited this. as A new policy of in-school suspension was enforced 2 at the beginning of the second semester. This replaced 5 some suspensions which were given as a result of major U offenses. Administrators believed it would be more effective since the students still had to be at school. Being suspended could no longer be looked upon as getting a 'vacation. However, in time, these changes and those at the first of the year became less and less of a Big Deal. - Taking advantage of the sunshine and new facilities, Shellie Palmore and Mary Cay Raz stay at school instead of leaving the campus at lunch. In the spring, six brightly colored yellow umbrellas and picnic tables were added to the courtyard outside the cafeteria. 292 Closing .aw 'W'-'W .Y AIM- .

They were the ones that years down the road began with phrases like 'll remember once when . . . and l'll never forget the time that . . . Big deals were often little things that only took up a brief moment of time when they occurred but remained etched in the individual's mind for all time. There were the funny deals. For instance, some would remember Mr. Holmes Brannon's llloke for the Day calendar or the Biology ll student's amoeba wave or the names of characters in the Algebra ll and the trig books' story questions. It could be a remark made by a student sitting next to you or the fact that the student next to you had fallen asleep during class. And there were serious deals. These included being able to talk to a friend about a problem or having to decide which classes to take or getting a pass from the attendance office because you skip ed. Others would relive the feelings when they raised tlieir arms during the Alma Mater or shed tears at their club's Senior Send-Off as the day of farewell drew nearer. Many times, the events which might have seemed to be the merest trifles would leave the deepest impressions. Passing a test you hadn't prepared for, staying up all night to write an English paper, getting together for study parties . . . all provided memories. Each person would have his or her own set of events which were a big deal. Peo le never have the exact same memories. That was wllat made these memories unique. The high school years were meant to be a unique part of a person's life. Lamar fit that bill with clubs, activities, teams, curriculum and especially people. LHS made the 1983-84 school year a very BIG DEAL, indeed. 1.l1 Contributing to a worthy cause, Vice Principal jimmy jones donates blood at the annual blood drive sponsored by HOE.

It has provided tradition and change, triumph and defeat, laughter and tears and, most of all, memories. It really has been a BIG DEAL.
