To improve student attitudes, the quarter system supposedly offered a greater variety of more interesting courses to choose from. Although some of these courses came under required learning titles, most were electives and vocational courses.

Science teachers, having to teach completely new study plans, found no time tor the extra fun projects they had undertaken before.

Although most of these classes were also clubs, a certain amount of class time was also spent before a vocational student was allowed to jump into his job and money. Distributive Education students formed a strong club and strong ties as they met at either 7:30 or 8:45. Teacher Mr. Cole gave lectures, assignments out of manuals, and listened with the rest of the class as students gave sales demonstrations. Karen Gammill even brought her horse and pony to school and attempted to sell them to her class partner. Vocational Office Education students, like Pam Stone and Mary Herrington, found out how school administration worked behind the scenes. They learned office skills during their morning lab and worked afternoons at the AISD Administration building with the people who run the show. Some students got jobs after graduation. Sylvia Townsend, Miss VOE, worked during the year tor a law firm and was hired full-time after graduation. Trade school wasn't necessary for the guy who had automotive work in mind for his after-school vocation. Lanier's Automotive Mechanics department was one of the finest in the state. Students met off-campus in the morning at a garage and learned the technical aspects of what went on under the hood. Most of them worked at gas stations and garages after school and really enjoyed working with their hands and making money straight after their graduation.

The Spirit ot '76 Seniors. The Bicentennial Seniors. Whatever the label, this was our year. With a finality, we tried to grasp a unity, which had been lacking up until now, to characterize it. We entertained all the Senior activities, customs and chores from having our rings turned 76 times to tossing our tasselsat Graduation. The dazzling job ot leading our Senior class through the awaited and expected paces ot the Senior year fell to Freddie Willie, Mark Fairchild, Mary Aguilar and Pat Bryant, We led the Homecoming activities with gusto. But, by the time of the Senior Talent Show, our enthusiasm seemed turned down, as Senioritis attacks set in. Perhaps the vim and vigor was thinned by the lack of class participation. But some of the blame fell to the red, white and blue exploitations that haunted our class. Any Senior memento could be acquired in these colors to commemorate this special 200th, once in a lifetime date - at a price, of course. lt would have been the last straw if the whispered rumors of starred and striped caps and gowns had been true. Some of the uninvolved channeled their forces into using this year to mature and grow up, At 18, Seniors were adults with school kid labels. We sat at the top and took this time to took back to our shared pasts, and then ahead to the future preparations. Learning and expanding - but still making time to have fun. Maybe the rest of the school thought our class had little in common besides the Senior label, but we knew better. We shared a fierce pride in our school, friends and surroundings. We were staunch supporters of our athletes, the organizations that represented Lanier and the individuals singled out of our class for Valhalla. Few could look back on this Senior year with regret. We filled the year to the bursting point with activities and fun, and made lifetime friends doing it. The feelings on leaving were mixed: apprehension, fear, sadness or even elation. We all realized we may never pass this way again, but we had the time of our lives journeying through our Senior year. - lv Se spit? JS' .,K SR A . . Q lsr' H ..h fa? A A1-- X E el Q p S ' N.

We had a year of long waited fun ahead, and we prepared to use t to its fullest. ln preparation, at the end of our Junior ear we selected our officers, had our newly bought rings turned 76 times and signed away our last high school year on a schedule of electives and the required government. A little of our summer was given up to pose for Senior pictures, then we sat back and waited for Our Year to arrive. The leadership of the school and its spirit was placed in our hands from the start. The Seniors fired up for football games and Powder Puff. We gave our all to the Homecoming Week, transforming the gym into a mass of spirit ready to explode. We took our rightful places in the Senior Section and thronged to the courtyard to display our class yell to onlooking, and awed underclassmen. The Spirit Stick fell in its rightful tradition to our class, just as the Homecoming Oueen, Adrienne Williams, came from our class. We lit the stands with enthusiasm during our final year. We wanted to soak in every detail for our memory scrapbooks. Winter slowed down class participation. Though the Senior Bonfire warmed a unity in the class, a separation followed. Cold weather scattered the people on the Senior benches in search of warmer meeting places. We dragged out of bed at unaccustomed hours Saturday mornings to grind through SAT and ACT tests. The future looked distant, and unconcernedly we turned our backs on it as the excitement of our last basketball season began. Once again staunch supporters - involved and waiting for the year to pick resh and unturned, the Senior year J . t ' . 3 . . . . .. 3 . . . a l Y up. Spring gave us the needed shot in the arm as it exploded into frenzies of activities. We walked the well-trodden path with gusto to prom, senior picnic, senior talent show, cap and gown and invitations to be ordered. As graduation rushed toward us, we telt the dreaded senioritis - when there was time. Baccalaureate suddenly was on us and we felt the first, only and sadly last unity of our class at graduation. Tears mingled with memories and promises to keep in touch. Parting hugs, broken bonds 12 years invested in the future accomplished.

She senfed as Secretary of the Student Council and joined the ranks of National Honor Society. A Beauty Revue participant, she was also named Miss High Kick in 1975. Pat planned to attend U.T. with a possible education major. Z , a lf you ever went to a Drama Club production, you would be certain to see Mark Fairchild displaying his dramatic talents in a leading role. Mark was President of Golden Myth Players and his dramatic achievements included U.l.L. Best Zone Actor and U.l.L. All-Star District Cast. Academically, Mark made a name for himself through induction into National Honor Society, third place on the National Math Test, a National Merit Letter of Commendation, and the Trustee Award.

J Planning a life in government, Alex Kanadjian started politicing early as Student Council President. Trying his hand at leadership, Alex worked with the Superintendenfs Board of Student Advisors, North Austin State Bank Teen Board, and the Northwest Optimist Club. School activities and recognition emerged as Alex worked on the Yearbook, played Varsity Tennis, and received the Young Texas Award from the North Austin Optimists. ,S Y ' we 'rw .

N Mai? f variety is the spice of life, then Lanier is one spicy meatball. There was no typical Lanier student. We had kickers, jocks, hippies, vikettes, bookworms, hell-raisers, brown-nosers, creeps, and tons of other labels people applied to other people. Senior Mark Fairchild can't be classified. Vice-president of the senior class, he sometimes associated with the jock aristocracy, while feeling perfectly at home with friends in the hippie parking lot. Junior Jarvis Houston was unique. He was the only black kicker at Lanier, and this midnight cowboy had a style all his own. Rita Conner, a junior, was also a different version ot said kicker. You just didn't expect to find one with that much class. The 'ibrains of the school weren't necessarily your basic bookworms hiding behind thick bifocal glasses with their noses stuck in a copy of Scientific American. Senior Terri Rock sky-dived and did medical work in the Dominican Republic while being Salutatorian in the senior class. Cindy Moritz, number four, captured the title of most beautiful and was also in Vikettes. Ray Feissli was another uncommon smart person. He could fall asleep in calculus, wake up, correct the teacher and go back to sleep. David Taveirne was a junior Yau 'Q E 9 1 ,MN jock who was one of our best athletes and probably one of the smartest, with straight A's and hard courses, proving that jocks weren't just big and dumb. Cars also illustrated individuality. Frank Patterson's '51 chevy could be mistaken for a bright yellow bullet unless he was at a stoplight or parked in front of one of his hang-outs. Luanne Pratt's TR-7 was also a familiar sight. Ronny Smith looked imposing behind the wheel of his blue VW stationwagon, and Susan Morrison's 57 chevy was pretty eye- catching too. Those were just a few who rejected the typical mama's car for something a little more original. Buster Segura was a champion roller skater and Kim Guyer had passed several of the tests to get into the Olympics with her ice skating. Pretty Julee King didn't look like the sort who would win state in girls cross country, but she did, and she was just a freshman. Sophomore Hilary Yarrington was a promising ballerina and Andrea Dillon, a senior, was studying art at Old Austin High in the afternoon during school. She also spent time making rock jewelry and fancy cakes to sell, Ruby Segura, a senior cheerleader, graduated during her second quarter to student teach elementary kids as part of her work as a freshman at St. Edwards.

Instead, we looked back to our own form of nostalgia -the past 1 1 years of growing, learning and experiencing as individuals that ultimately melted us into Lanier's Seniors of '76 With common backgrounds, primarily from Webb and Burnet Junior Highs, we shared many memories. Those were the days. lVlacDonald's boasted a hamburger, french tries and a coke -with change back from your dollar. Strict dress codes demanded boys tuck in their shirt tails and keep hair trimmed above the collar. Girls couldn't wear pants to school unless the temperature dropped below 32, and when jeans were finally allowed, to us it was a bigger thing than the mini-skirt. The days weren't all sweet and innocent. Student unrests at the High Schools caused by busing carried over to Junior Highs. Riots, racial fights and shake downs for moeny in the restrooms resulted in police squads in the halls. Teachers locked their classes in and an alarming amount of knives, afropicks, bigibelt buckles and even razor blades appeared as weapons. At this time a date was a group walking around Highland Mall, with a stop at Mr. Gatti's. You changed steadies and l.D. bracelets once a week, and spent Friday nights at Pizza lnn with half the school chattering around you. At parties, no lights ever stayed on and Spin the Bottle was THE party game. Puffing your first cigarette made you tuff while Hrunning around gave you a reputation. We didn't really notice the gas war was on, because we mostly walked or rode bikes wherever we needed to go. We cried through Love Story, and passed around rumpled copies of The Godfather whispering l'Fiead page for the good part. The shag haircut appeared everywhere, along with bell bottoms, the layered look, wire rim glasses and smocks. We wore our POW-MIA bracelets hopefully, and for the first time had some interest in Vietnam and world affairs. Being accepted, pushing for a position in a circle of people in the halls, or knowing the Popular People was very important to us. We wanted to belong, and we depended on others to lead and accept us. We were so young and gullible -we had a lot to learn. It was quite an experience, to say the least. But do it over again? Probably not. The future has so much more in store. e Past We Shared P l MF A id I :- Pg' Q g 'I X ,. V EER AD we g ' x if 4 A . 415,35 ev l 'Q' ov 1' Eb ri Xt ,li if 'mfg -1 2 , QW' 1X 2 X?

Coach Gannaway and Lee Dickie taught the fundamentals and planned the strategy. The juniors were as ready as they could be. But with a year's experience under their belts, the seniors annihilated them 20- O. They took a 2-O lead in the first quarter on a safety. Juniors couldn't crank up an offense. Senior quarterback Linda Johnson had trouble throwing, but she had two hard running backs. Lisa Ralston scored the first touchdown on a short run. Amanda Lawrence, running like O, J. Simpson, broke 34 yards for the second. l-lalftime had as much action as the game. The t'band marched in non- formations as raw eggs hurtled overhead between the benches. Senior coaches Yoakum, Dickie, and Henderson stuck to the ground game second half, and scored on a surprise pass from Linds Johnson to tight end Isabelle Wolf in the 4th quarter. After their stunning victory, the senior girls dissolved their rivalry with the juniors and both groups left chilly Veterans Field in search of more excitement at C-atti's or Northcross Mall.

We felt a sudden pride as we marched our way down the aisle to Pomp and Circumstancef' Heads high and in the limelight, our performance began, We listened to the speakers and songs, constantly aware of our positions. Graduating Seniors. ln the years that lie ahead, may His love be your light. His strength be your courage and His blessings your joy. With this, we were ready to walk across for our diplomas. As our names were called, we received our diplomas. Along with the warm handshake and congratulations, we had a feeling of pride beyond words. Not to mention the elating thoughts of the whole new world at our feet. Four hundred fifty-four Bicentennial Seniors and one principal graduated. We paid a special tribute to Fred H. Matthys, Lanier's only principal, as he retired. We honored our own, as Richard Shepard was named Valedictorian and Terri Flock, Salutatorian Diplomas received. Pronounced graduates Tassels flipped. The tears began as we sang our own school song for the last time. Our gold and white will always live forever, the spirit of Lanier will always live. . The class yell- and it was over. It was an excitement beyond words or expression. No time to feel anything - so we felt everything. We hugged and laughed, hugged and cried, hugged and hugged. We wanted to explode. We felt power, elation, relief and strength all at the same time. We left gathering up our memories of Graduation Day, and set out for the future. The world could expect whatever it wanted from us - we were ready to live up to it. Far left: Waiting to enter the Municipal Audito- rium Seniors form their last line together.

Anybody who held down a ' part-time job and went to school at the same time knew the hassles that working after school could cause - and the benefits. When Mrs. Turk scheduled an especially hard Chemistry test, or Mr. Tennyson quizzed over the entire Constitution on Thursday, you had to work until ten Wednesday night at Kroger's. Checking out irritable customers all night and closing out a cranky cash register, you could see the A- in Government last six weeks plunging to a very undesirable C-. When minimum wages went up to 52.30 an hour, you celebrated at Pizza Hut after work from Sears, thinking about the new clothes from Kross Kountry Kasuals, now that you'd be rolling in all those mountains of green. Western shirts, platform shoes, blue jeans, personalized belts, earth shoes -the extra money would sure be an asset when buying those popular fashions. But somehow, you began to doubt the wonders of your big raise. The added hours at Edison cut the time that you could have been shopping for a Homecoming formal at Casual Corner. Then there was the time that you promised your boss that you'd work an unscheduled Friday night. -Then that cute guy from English asked you out, and you had to turn him down. Saving money was easier said than done, with National Honor Society dues, Choir fees, dates, library obligations, and an occasional birthday gift for one of your favorite friends. Car parts, albums, tapes, school supplies, cosmetics, and sometimes really essential things like rent, clothes, and college - everyone used his money according to his own needs and wants. Working was a thing that many of us had in common. Everyone shared the hassles of wages, employers, and teachers who just didn't seem to understand how much jobs meant to working students. Eventually, you began to pity those poor people at school who didn't have a job and spent every night studying or watching T.V., when they could have been making new friends and money at the same time, , Sagas ua, if ' M ffimwwwwuw . ef W Y , ,,,,, , . , L . mm.. ,.,. ,,,, ,.,. ,1. . i H 'Qffffw -5 5 4- 4 -fs.- V f ff ,R QW 1-Bi' -9 QQ ' B A 1 , M ,,, f , tg . , , Q t 9 fr' 5 g at-.fs s ga. - , V is ss: f .

During third, important decisions like where to eat and whether or not to even go to fourth at all distracted students from everyday classroom routine. They pooled their money together and budgeted their allowances to last the rest of the week. When the bell rang for fourth, the daily dash commenced, whether to the cafeteria lines or to the cars, Being one of the first in the A-lunch line gang meant ' choosing over fresh, hot, non-leftover foods. A-Iunchers who left campus had the pleasure of making long lines instead of waiting at the end of them, like B, C, and D lunches. Upperclassmen became connoisseurs of fast food restaurants. After the fall quarter, they knew what to get th rough experience: mild sauce onthe burrito at Taco Bell, fix-it-yourself burger at Burger Chef or have-it-your-way at Burger King, say cheese at Gatti's and the regular order of fish and chips at Long John Silver's. Relaxation through slumber on car hoods, discarded shoes and bummed cigs drew students outside onthe warmer days at noon. They just ordered their food at Whataburger to go and enjoyed their sun and nourishment at the same time, Some divided their lunch between a chili-cheese burger, homework, and sun. Sitting on a car with a book open made all that homework just a little more bearable. A few sought out the library for lunch time studying. They ditched the thought of eating when the thought of all that homework they had to do for that night hit them. But some ended up in the library for enjoyment. The world discovered through best-selling novels seemed more entertaining than the gossip of the cafeteria. No matter what you packed into that thirty-five minutes, it wasn't long enough. The insistent ringing of the bell always penetrated the relaxation too soon. Cl V-A-... Above.

Living in Austin made the decision tough. With a variety of movies, food and live concerts constantly appearing, you couldn't do it all. Popular North Austin theatres sometimes offered six new movies at once. The Hustle, with Burt Reynolds, Lucky Lady, with Liza Minelli, Mahogany, with singer Diana Ross and Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon screened at Northcross 6, Village 4 and Highland Mall l and ll. The Paramount downtown played old Gene Kelly movies and other classics for those still on a nostalgia kick. Food, always a major attraction, drew students to Gatti's and Chelseas for pizza, subs, nachos, and hot pastrami on rye. Pizza Inn and Hut stayed favorites for the students with saucy taste. Saturday's served chef salads that wouldn't quit with a unique atmosphere of bartenders with suspenders, waiters in tuxs and the decor of the twenties. But the hamburger joints still prevailed with a french fry pit stop at almost every corner. The concert goer's wallet grew slim this year. Appearances of Ted Nugent, Charlie Pride, Joni Mitchell, Lynyrd Skynyrd and regulars Greasy Wheels and The Moods kept the music Iover's foot tapping through most of the year. lf you couldn't handle the five dollar ticket to see your favorites live, you had to make do with home entertainment. Some chose the turntable way, listening to their choice of discs, while others jammed with D.J.'s on their favorite radio station. One type .of entertainment, not usually discussed wasparking.. Couples visited Chapel Hill, one ofthe more beautiful views of Austin, seeking solitude and a moment to themselves. Once the decision is made and the act carried out, we all dragged home wishing nights were longer. No one alone could attempt all that was waiting for them, but together everyone kept nightlife alive. The nights were never long enough, but it never killed the thrills we got, Top: Saturday's grew in popularity 'with Lanier students for drinking and dancing.

Everyone wanted to experience it, from head cheerleader to auto mechanics hot-fodder. i It was all over school, rnuoh to the dismaygot lvlrs. Brougher.

Parents restrictions often got in the way So did schoolwork and homework, abut? r r nothing was as important to us as ffhiinf' or her, We hadnft reached emotional it maturity yet and this caused a lot of problems. is A fllatihg was often used as a means of security, instead of a source of pleasure. People would go out withsomeone they didrft care about being with, just so they wouldnt have to sit home on Friday night. And it you did have strongffeelings about the one you were dating or 'going with, there were likely to be even more problems. ' . A l Possessiveness and jealousy caused a lot of irritation and pain. When you saw some other girl sitting in your boyfriends lap at the Senior benches, it couldrrnake you furious - even it they were just 1 kidding around. e . . i Being takentorfgranted was another common complaint. When he stopped calling you so otten or she stopped telling you how nice you looked when you really went all out for a date, then that hurt your , ego. A lot ot nice relationships stagnated, and a lot ol nice people wound up in asrut Movies and dates becarnea routine instead ofa pleasure. Fora guy and a girl tokeep up their interest, both had to be Cfeattvei ' :Too much pressure caused hassles. Arguing about where to go that night, or A pushing too hard about sex and other taboos, we laced a lot ofstruggles over values and desires. , I But despite problems and pain, being in love and dating someone you really cared about provided the best times we ever hadiin high school.

Not only the kickers wore boots and tooled belts. 'lVVing haircuts were not limited to the senior bench and Lone Star Longneck t- shirts to the freak parking lot. Students wore what they liked, and, this year they liked a little bit ot everything. The most noticeable fashion was the western Everybody owned a western shirt and a pair of Tony Llama or Acme boots. Truck sales boomed along with straw cowboy hats. And everybody got a C-B to talk to all those good buddies. Although Levi jeans were worn, variations were made. Gold stitching directed in every direction decorated hip huggers, high waisted, and regular. The look went from pants to shorts and from tight to loose. To wear jeans, students had t-shirts. Beer t-shirts, novelty t-shirts, camp t- shirts. lt you went somewhere you could bet that they'd have t-shirts with something original on it. Female dress took an international twist. The loose Cossack look lengthened the dresses to mid-calf and gave an accent to accessories, like many bangled bracelets and choker necklaces. Oriental prints with Japanese jackets during the cold winter months combined fashion with warmth. The warmer months ot fall and spring let Africa inspire shirts and dresses with square insets around the neck and slits as an opening. Mexican gauze also appeared on everything from skirts to purses. Mexican and Indian woven bags matched these styles well in the late spring. No matter what the price tag, the look was comfortable, casual and so good. How good? So good. Alberta Dickerson, James Wright, and Elaine Dickerson stop for a moment in the small court- yard. Scanfes at all lengths were popular in the fall along with blue jean skirts.

I've climbed the Twin Peaks, Mt. Truchis and Sandia Crest and it was one of the most exciting times in my life. Most outdoorsmen shared Barbara's feelings. Getting away from concrete, unnecessary noise gives you a better appreciation of life and nature. It's like Adam and Eve, said Mindy McElroy who has hiked up and camped on Mount Dunohenmyer in Idaho. While some outdoorsmen shudder at the thought of killing something for sport, that's the hunter's goal. Lanier sharpshooters searched for their prey in Central Texas and a privileged few went or a big kill to Colorado. This year we won a trip to a wildlife study refuge close to Del Rio, but we usually hunt near Dripping Springs, said Greg Johnson. Half of the fun is hunting and the other half is just being out in the country, no electricity, and no modern conveniences, it's just fun, he added. I couIdn't wait forthe weekend during deer season. Fridays were the hardest. I kept on thinking, in the morning I'd be in my deerstand and that night in the truck hunting varmints, said Bard Chafin, who hunts outside of Richland Springs. I started going with my big brother just for sport. It's really fun, this year I shot a buck and a doe on a lease at Liberty I-lill, said Calvin Boyd. Many sportsmen and women woke early and went fishing. Lake Travis and the coas' were popular fishing holes but any place with water and fish appealed to the fishing freak. Bee Creek, in the misty, early morning, in my grungiest old clothes trying to hook that big bass, ahhh it felt great, said Diane Wheeler. It's really exciting, filling upthe ice chest and going out on Travis, You feel the tug on the line, hook the fish, but you don't know the size 'til you pull it in the boat, said Gary Glaspy. Scouting taught me many aspects of the outdoors, said star scout Robbie Garland, Although I'm not in scouts anymore, I learned boating, fishing, camping, and hiking. Outdoor hiking, backpacking, hunting, fishing, and scouting. The men went out and did them, and women joined in. They all went to get away from the pressure- back to nature. Wig.

Being a cowboy was, more than felt hats, Tony Lama boots, a dip of Copenhagen, it was a way ot life. l The most popular of the Cowboy's , sports were Rodeos. Bullriding, spectator favorite, was the main event for Lanier's participants. l For competitors like Arthur Sweet it was a way ot life. Arthur wanted to ge' his Rodeo Cowboys Association permit and ride professionally. Riding gave him a feeling of self-satisfaction. Freshman Mark Shelton said after he rode the first time it was just in his blood. He wanted to become a clown, believing i would help him as a rider to learn howa bull reacts. In 1975, Steve Martel placed first in , Bareback bronc at the Elgin Rodeo, winning his third silver buckle. Steve, like many Lanier cowboys, planned to contini and go professional, riding saddle bronc. Only a few students ot Lanier could ride bulls, but anyone could go dancin Popular places to go were Dessau and Skyline. They were packed with people dancing and listening to local groups like the Moods, Country Music Revue ar Country Edition, Aside from rodeos and dancing, there was a more serious sport: livestock raising Many ofthe more serious minded FFA students wanted to make a living in agriculture. Junior Charlie Chapman was a chapter farmer. l-le, like many other Ag students, l raised two pigs and a calf. He worked at the Ag Farm after every school day, and E day Saturdays and Sunday afternoons. Charlie planned to take Ag all through hig school, and goto A8tM to major in Agriculture. Most everyone was interested in some type of kicker sport. Whether it was riding bulls, dancing on Saturday nights or , raising pigs, people were involved. lt l appeared that if the popularity kept , growing, Lanier's irl sport would soon bi America's ifrt.

For instance you would find fewer seniors and more freshmen and sophomores shooting rubber bands and putting tacks in chairs. U Other vices were limited to certain places. Pearl beer and Acapulco Gold were limited to the kicker and hippie parking lots. Snutt occasionally found its way into the classroom, joining tons of candy, chewing gum, and soft drinks. The cafeteria was another place for frustrated people to release their frustrations. Throwing food was indulged in mostly by freshmen, but even juniors were known to put some of the A.I.S.D.'s yummy leftover ravioli in an adversary's chair. ln class there were also minor 'tcrimesf' They usually consisted of cheating on tests, lying to teachers about late papers, and sleeping in class. Nothing really creative. One of the most imaginative incidents occurred when a hose, turned on full blast, made its way into the English department. The same hose also made appearances filling up empty trash cans, attacking unsuspecting freshmen, and stuck in between senior bench cracks, waiting for unlucky seniors. Graffiti was pretty common, too. Whether obscene, witty, or both it found its way into study carols, bathrooms and the senior benches. lt made all three of these places a lot more interesting to sit in. Not so amusing, and not so easy to laugh off, were sometimes more destructive incidents. People with nothing better to do would start fires in lockers or tear up tennis nets that the tennis team had worked hard at earning the money to buy. A group of the fair sex even beat up a janitor. None of this was funny. The average student was above all that sort of thing. Pitching pennies, spitting off balconies, and getting pushed into an unsuspecting group of girls in the restrooms were about the norm for most Lanier students. Like it or not, vices and vandals were here, harmless for the most part, but occasionally annoying. vices 79 Tobey Abbott Arlene Albaneda Debbie Abraham Beatrice Acosta Danny Adams David Adams Stephen Adams Jerry Albee Cathy Alderete Martin Aleman Mike Aleman Douglas Alexander Art Allison Gay Anderson Jane Anderson Chuck Aragon Terry Armstrong Carolyn Arnold Dwayne Arnold Dana Ayers Gaylon Aylieff Lynn Backus Kathy Bailey Sharon Baker Anne Barger Bryan Bargsley Evelyn Bartholic Mary Bauer Bret Beckner Becky Bellows Glenn Belvin Sandra Bermudez 80 sophomores Z' V iff At: im 4'-,tht L . gj it :Q -f uf. 3 5 1 '36 ,hw wma f g X as 4-indian' fue ...I .

Serious minded students looked at school as a chance to prepare for college. Laura Johnson, Scott Zaleske, Pat Hunter, Lee Smith, and the Cain Twins were some of our examples of Isaac Newtons of the future. People like Andy Lange, Jett Ftietch, and Jay Moehler looked at the funny side of life. Humorous people helped to break the monotony of everyday life. We were tired of conforming to society's requirements. Sandra Betak, Anne Strohm, and Mitzi Patzke were unique in their own special way. They accepted people as individuals and not for their social or financial status. Devoted to individual interests like music and exercise, people like Terri Tallas, Ray Kuehler, Kim Guyer, and Kelley King found hard work rewarding. We were spirited and dedicated. We grew up fast. Girls dated at fifteen. We got our driver's license before our sophomore year. We got part time jobs. We either wanted or needed money. We didn't want to be duplicates of others. We wanted individuality. '37, ' sf! Sophomores: , ., ,.

Going to places like Dessau and The Bucket, country- western and disco dancing filled their days and nights with fun, laughter, and closeness. Nostalgia and tradition went hand-in- hand when the Jazz Age flared up with tap,! ballroom, ballet, and folk dancing. Hats, boots, and tight pants was the j impression Dessau gave to the younger l generation with a western atmosphere of ' country song and dance. The 2-step, 3-step, 4 corners, waltz, polka and cotton-eyed joe roused juniors like Becky Nitsche and Cherri Thompson. Songs like Silver Wings, Wasted Days and Wasted Nights, and I Keep Looking for Tomorrow kept flocks of students going to the Skyline, Silver Dollar, El Paso Cattle Company, and other popular night clubs. The Moods, Velvets, and The Country Edition were a few groups who played the music that made them want to dance. Students found good times at Saturday's and The Bucket, moving in rhythm to the music of Earth, Wind, and Fire, and KC and The Sunshine Band. Besides the bump l and the Hustle, disco let dancers create their own movements to the beat of rock 'n j roll. j Tap and ballroom dancing were traced l on dance floors by many nostalgic feet. The music of George Gershwin and i Cole Porter roused the excitement of j the good ol' days of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Mrs. Persohn taught tap l dancing to dedicated amateurs like Kellye Needles and Geri DelGuidice. i Hilary Yarrington danced ballet as a form of expression. She enjoyed practicing an average of 24 hours a week, though she admitted it sometimes got in the way of her other activities. At Austin Civic, she performed in Nutcracker Suite, Shadowland, and Raymonda. Austin Ballet Theatre performances even turned up in the Armadillo, Austin's country rock headquarters.

We eventually found a sympathetic ear as we discussed how mad lVlr. Taylor made us, or boyfriends who had ditched us for a Vikette who was a little bit prettier. Friendships progressed as we worked together on a research paper concerning Elizabethan poetry, or maybe spent Saturday night together at Northcross Mall while every boy in the school spent time fixing their macho-mobiles instead of dating. We even made sure to see each other after every class and always knew when the other had an English test or which teacher in the other's class was absent, until the weekend that you got a date with i the guy I liked, he even took you to see 'Lucky Lady' -which you knew I was dying to see - and afterwards, he took , you to my favorite place - Chelsea Street Pub. We patched it up over a Coke at Dairy Queen while skipping second period and found that sometimes quarrels and disagreements brought us even closer. i When it was time for you to go visit your , grandparents over the weekend, only theni did we realize how much our friendship meant.

Or what about the time you were just dying to spend Saturday night in a different way and wanted to see the sights on the Drag with your best friend? And then there was the thrill you got when you sat behind the wheel of a car alone for the first time and dreamed about taking a trip solo to San Marcos, or maybe even Dallas. Usually one thing managed to stand in your way: Parents. Parents could be hassles and blessings, burdens and gifts, embarrassments and pleasures, fun and boring. A lot of times it depended on moods, relationships, and situations. Conflicts arose when you found yourself stuck between your parents and your friends, and sometimes you caught yourself living a double standard. You were mortified when you saw your friends dating as Freshmen and your parents said you couldn't go out until you were sixteen. Maybe you were trying to impress that special girl, so you let her know that you could have the car every Saturday night. You just neglected letting her know you had to be in by ten-thirty, of course. At times like these, your parents saw you as the good ol' high school kid who always followed rules, while you felt like a freak every time somebody at school looked at you. ln your mind, you knew that everyone thought of you as a mama's baby and were talking about you behind your back. Sometimes you couldn't see eye to eye with your parents and let them know you had a mind of your own. lt could get sticky, like the time you let them know you should be able to set your own hours to come home and they told you that as long as you slept under their roof with your feet under their table, you obeyed their rules. You really felt your independence. You were too big for spanking any more. It was clear that you had to talk openly to your parents to know each other as individual people. To discuss what you drank at Chelsea, your probability of smoking pot, and just how far you went in the back seat on a date with your steady wasn't easy. lf you couldn't talk openly to your folks then, would you ever be able to? Towards the end of your Senior year, you made plans for college, marriage, or full-time jobs. Then you felt the strong attachment to your parents and your home. You realized that the home you had grown up in was going to just be a house where you visited your folks. You were filled with fear of the unknown future, but you wanted to be out on your own. As these thoughts ran through your mind, you felt the need to let your parents know that you loved, cared for, and respected them. lt didn't matter anymore that you wanted out to try your own wings. All that mattered was being able to look at your folks and accept them for the special individuals they were. parents 89 Greg Johnson Jeff Johnson Laura Johnson Earl Johnson Arthur Joseph Jan Kaderka Pam Kelling Jimmy Kelley Francis Key David King Bill Knesek Fran Knox Ftobert Kostka Terry Kostoff Chris Kretschmer Edwin Kretzschmer David Kroah Ken Krueger Karen Kruse Ray Kuehler Matt Kunau Linda Kutach John Lancaster Kenneth Lange Joseph LeBlanc Marie LeBlanc Judy Lentz Cheryl Lindsey Gretchen Lingo Jayne Loftice Jill Lunday Crystal Lunsford 90 sophomores QJPQXKWEEZ W is l f' FQ 8 Mgwxii is .J ,wrt , .. 65 SINE 'I ffi:.fi?u tdidn't seem too long ago, when males and females couldnft go out for the same sport, participate in the same gym class together, or even sit in on a sex education lecture in the same class. Time has brought about many changes in equality for women. Here at Lanier, equality for the sexes reflected upon us in several areas. Both obviously and indirectly the women's liberation movement affected our ways as students. This year, for only the second time at Lanier, Senior Linda Johnson took the job as President of FFA. 'iHaving three brothers, I enjoy showing guys up, but basically I get along with them, and they accept me as their President. l've really enjoyed my four years in FFA. As for sports, Lanier has never had so many outstanding female athletes. Junior Emily Johnson has participated in several sports throughout high school. This year she was onthe girls basketball team. It's hard being a female athlete, guys can't accept us as equals, they can't take the competition, she said. I feel we are discriminated against, girls' sports doesn't get enough support or publicity, Lanier just doesn't take us seriously. t'Being the only girl in a auto systems class was very hard, said Junior Kathy Wilpitz. I wanted to learn more about cars, but the teacher picked on me, the guys teased me so I had to drop out, she said. Crossing the Sex Barrier wasn't always easy but it was happening everywhere.

Fton was one of the many Lanier students who had to try it at least once. ummer warmth lingered on and on. Seasons seldom changed. Winter was never glamorous until the opening of the Ice Age. Curious and excited, Austinites began exploring winter spons. Lanier students Randy Owens, Pat Bryant, Martin Alleman and Teri Cruikshank tried it. Whether falling or hanging on the rails, they slowly learned to skate. The competitive desire to excel at figure skating guided Kim Guyer in direction of the Olympics. She won a gold, silver and bronze in Houston. By the end of her sophomore year, she had completed three of nine United States Figure Skating Association tests for the Olympics. Denise Owens also floated into the elegant, balletic style of skating. Practicing six to eight hours a day, she won a gold medal in Houston. By the end of her freshman year, she had completed five of nine Olympic tests. Mike Murphy, along with his dad, joined the Austin Men's Sr. Hockey League of six teams. The lightning fast action taught Mike to quickly learn to skate. Austinites had no snow. No snow machines. Young Life overcame this by sponsoring trips to Colorado. Melinda Whatley, Melissa Cornell, and Karen Kruze glided downhill at Hidden Valley. They went by bus, ate, got ski equipment, a lift ticket, and ski lessons for S180.00. Many pursued winter with old-fashioned laziness. They bundled up, sat in front of dancing flames, and sipped hot chocolate. 'IQAUH nw, the breaks.

The hill country in all its beauty provided a retreat for water lovers. Lakes Travis and Austin were less than an hour away and L.B.J. and Buchannan a little further. ln town Lanier students could pay 2503 and spend a whole day at Northwest park swimming and sunbathing. Others who couldn't find a ride to the lake or didn't have a quarter went to the free pools. After what seemed infinity, the construction on Kennemer Pool was finished. lt was a relief after spending hours of vacation time painting signs and practicing to walk out to the pool and take a cool plunge, said Jr. Cheerleader Jina Casey. The second half of Vikettes went by fast after l cooled off in the pool, said Bridget Mercado. Freshman football player Mark Shelton liked coming to Lanier in the mornings to lift weights, practice football and cool off swimming. Swimming wasn't the only watersport Vikings participated in. Skiing was popular. lf the lake was calm and there wasn't much boat traffic my friends and I were out skiing, said Kathy Bird. Other students enjoyed the sun as they sunbathed by the lakes, pool, or in their backyards. lt only cost me about 85.00 to have enough suntan lotion to last all summer, said Debbie McCollum. Some students enjoyed water sports in the winter as well as in the summer. Many went boat riding and fishing while others went sailing. lt was fun in the summer, but really a challenge in the winter trying to keep your boat from capsizingf' said Corky Stewart. T3 W U ..?

Buster spent CIBSS. hours and hours of practice preparing for nationals. aybe they started out trying to lose excess pounds, trim down the figure, firm up thethighs, or just to achieve a feeling of masculinity. But exercise offered more. It relaxed the body and refreshed the mind. Kim Cruickshank and Boni Kelso cycled down the Pease Park Hike and Bike Trail, toning up leg muscles. Mark Klaus unicycled himself into maintaining a sense of balance on his one wheeler. Like many other girls, Sandi Tripp, Lois Betcher, Laura Sargologos, and Patti Brownlee leaped and vaulted their way into the ever popular female sport of gymnastics. Watching the Olympics and other people doing cartwheels turned Julie Vanek on to gymnastics. 'tl wouldn't encourage anyone to join gymnastics unless they're coordinated. lt's knowing you're good at it that makes the sport enjoyable, l-lundreds of Lanier students rolled on wheels at Playland and Skating Bink after a night at Dessau or just to enjoy the company of friends. Taking the initiative ot his God-given talent, Buster Segura wheeled his way into ranking among the top ten of competitive roller skaters in the nation. ln competitive roller skating, you learn to control your nerves. You get the experience of competing with others who have the same goal in mind as you do. Karate, Judo, and Kung Fu teach the competitor more than the art of self defense. Through instructions from the Texas Tae Kwon Do and other related Oriental art institutes, Bocky l-lardie, Jerome Scott and Mike Schotz mastered the necessary skills or serious concentration and alertness. Whether they paced through Northwest Park, trotted around the school track, or cantered along self made neighborhood trails, Mike Cowie, Ruby Segura, Don Davis and Theresa Gage jogged regularly to keep their body in shape. Exercising religiously, Mark Billingsley jogged to keep fit. t'l consider jogging physical therapy, your body's like one of the Lord's sacred temples. He expects you to keep it up and keep it in shape. With the right attitude, interested people enjoy exercising.

During assemblies they even had music in there, and movies. Maybe your bus arrived early, or you had to catch an early ride to keep from walking. No matter what the reason was, students shuffled into the cafeteria as early as 7:15. Some to catch up on homework not quite finished the night before, or to study for a test. Some just to pass the time or eat the cafeteria's breakfast of hot rolls or toast. Nostalgic movies and music concerts by A Cappella and the Stage Band entertained students during the 9:40 assembly period. Student Council had its meetings sometimes in the cafeteria when the A-V room was not available. STEP test results were given in the lunchroom and SAT and ACT tests were taken there.

At night, the cafeteria was used for concerts and banquets for clubs like FFA. Weekends, squaredancing music echoed through the halls with a promenade right amplified in rhythm. Although we tried to make believe that the cafeteria was boring and unexciting we spent a large portion of our school social time there. its best to give students a hot meal before starting out the day.

The Austin schools were no exception. The quarter system offered courses in painting, drama, dance, and photography. Senior Cheryl Vranich took painting from Mrs. Horne. In her own spare time, she painted oils and sold many of her artworks. Most of them she gave to friends as gifts. Andrea Dillon made her hobby into a productive career of commercial art. She was in the three hour commercial art course at old Austin High School. She also did the division pages and the cover ot the '76 Viking Yearbook. Karen Minto's artwork showed up in every publication. She took her natural talent and applied it to the Ftuneskritt as co- art editor. She was the art editor on Skalds and did the cover of the '75 Viking Yearbook. Photography proved worthwhile tor Rocky Hardie. The Round Rock Leader and Georgetown's school newspaper printed his sports action shots, school Y activities, and personalities shots. Flocky said, lt's just a way of expressing yourself. lt's just an art. Fiisa Martin, who photographed students' hobbies and activities tor the Yearbook said, t'l feel like it's a very expressive art form and allows me to capture peoples' personalities. Mary Wilkinson, who took dance lessons at the River City Twirl and Dance Studio, taught tap, ballet, and acrobats, while taking classes herself. Mary hoped for a degree in dance and wanted to open her own dance studio. Laura Sargologos, having taken classes at Austin Ballet Academy, used her ballet with gymnastics because it gave her better coordination. A two year drama student, Heather Hielscher hoped to make a career out of drama. Heather feels, the ambition to go on is greater than the desire to quit. You can always expect something good around the bend. Upper left: Karen Minto experiments with temp- era paints on a new project in art class.

Lively musicals left us with feelings of satisfactior and the memory of a melody long time forgotten. Bobby socks and platform shoes, longer skirt lengths and baggy pants attracted the nostalgic, fashion minded students. Muted and pastel shades provided a colorful arrangement that was pleasing to the eye and pleasing to the wearer. Groups like Manhattan Transfer, The Pointer Sisters, and even Blood, Sweat and Tears reminded us ofthe big band days of Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. The Andrews Sisters, Judy Garland, Fanny Brice, and Frank Sinatra made housewives all over America swoon over the radios ant teenagers bop to the latest 45's Lucky Lady, The l-lindenburgf' That's Entertainment and many more lit up the silver screen. Better yet was the restoration ofthe old Paramount theatre and the revival of old movies such as The Gang's All Here, 'tShowboat and countless others. Movie images of Fred Astaire and Ginge Flogers swirling about the screen caught us unconsciously tapping our toes to the old, but familiar tunes. Tap and ball room dancing classes caught on. Nostalgia, the old made new again and past made present. These are the good old days, now with traces of Patti, Maxine, and LaVerne Andrews coming through to us amidst all the shiny, brassy, glitter ot today's music. Visions of Gable and Garbo brought back memories of the wonderful time of yesteryear. Right: Giving his hair the final slick-down, Mai Klaus prepares himself for 50's Day a Ia Elv Presley.

His suits were of recent fashion, showing ability to change. But closely cropped hair showed adaptation did not completely change the man. His voice carried, but carried softly. The homespun, familiar tone never criticized harshly. lt gently reminded the forgetful and encouraged the weak-spirited. He's one of the most rewarding men to work for, said Mrs. Bougher. Easy man to work for. He let's you do your job, said Mr. Stockton. His office reflected the mood of his gentle voice. Years of accus- tomed routine established an office with an atmosphere of quiet- ness and relaxation. His position saw graduating classes from 96 - 556. He shook hands with approximately 5,000 seniors just at Lanier. . id of our first principal, he will be our most rememQ spent 16 years perfecting his title and those who worked became spoiled by his personal awareness of each 43 years in the field of education, starting as a math working up to superintendent at Liberty, Texas, and evenl up at Lanier as principal. His staff grew from three in a town where he served as principal and teacher to approxi- mately i3O teachers and staff at Lanier. J He led humbly and wisely in activities outside of school. H presided over many organizationsg UT Phi Beta Kappa, Austi Association of Public School Administrators and Lion's Club. An when not presiding, he enjoyed membership in Texas Committee o' Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Board of Trustees and United Fund Budget Committee Cin which he was a chairmanb. A Mrs. Oswald described Fred Matthys as a Christian gentleman? For the past 28 years, at First United Methodist Church, he has taught the Men's Fellowship Class and was a member of the istrator's Board. Perhaps his faith set the tone for his tration. rr ii:gy,ffg1fs11ii.i3-'s , 1 ' -,z WL-1 - YTD vi g ,ries jig-jg V :stffj.g,Lfsf ga xi sf egg vk'.'1?11 EA jingle, EiSiE5f1if5?Q2'qJIZ-MUsLiiiZ7iV3if'2ii 5? , e?'r.:i-sifjl J-wiv, ' 531 f fi Mr! rf? nil'-pt 951 f 'X'13s'CT1fi57!f,f?'i:F WiI'i':9if4i ' ki JSE- 'ifiiilifiii wif'kf14lfF51.?i3U5fEE'.i V55 'sfgiklf' -f,Z25 7S?a:S'5 2i'1B5'U3tl A1553 'Y AKSLFHW 'f -'YU Yi? ff TZ' If Zfiiffi' S155 lf' W, 'ibfik- IM Lf f 95-1 f if f ' Nairn ir, f wvtiwiwie sweats s2gvBfs2ri?k55issHil5tiPf2Ht?'iag?Q3?i,,ufit3strs, 2i'HM'2iy?fNim LW i.ffi?ri2i1fzfgzfawQ31:s:wyfa2 vtiyiareiutttwrgiafraftggi Qnizmiqwrzrrtime-K T9-et! frtyffiwrfiigfirri tint qltiiti-,rkiiizziftifii N-rt-'fry'-rswwz'ai 5ig,1,r,g,,iE5f,ii3L5M?,,.mMoW-ig,-it M ,WawewQw:Map353zi::g1-aegasaecgegaigiaafesgxgmrf1.guage-fgegeigtfpefsigirvgwaei:faihriwttgnaw-Li fi-r:i e5,W:,,ti 2i ,zt?ts9H-tQt?sHtiLs2ti'i- i-'wi-Zigi rimfiyisetwiifttifwtmeQ-13 La, .5 ,M Qeggw, ggi, ,gig ,,Q,ga,v,,g. ,frat i .teller try 55,35 i-,3y,fz,,A i,,,ggig,ggK?,,,m ZaofQf,fmw.g3qg,,Aw W g ,14fwi.,QLi3m5aAmykggeggxiiigg, ,5sm1,,, miwiti. itd sgrgi, ga., 54iq,,,?fSqL?sMf,fwxfuQsayipegfxzifvwwf-wreeaew if Qgfwmffbffeigiiyeslisrrrieirisaqg-W A Qgsisugiiiviziigiw tw Eibtftiis.

The AISD school board trustees made no harsh decisions. One major concern was the promotion ol a new currict ulum, the Quarter System. lt confused the public. Students and parents had to choose fron a large variety of courses with new names. A doctor called me anc asked which biology courses his son should take, said Carc McClellan, school board president elect. When making out course schedules the previous spring, teacher: advised students which courses to take according to career ant education plans after graduation, The public also feared the quarter system deprived students c academic basics, such as reading and mathematics. lvls. McClellan said, Getting back to basics is important, bu the utilization ol those skills is what really counts. The board planned to institute a back to basics quality ii teaching the following fall. The city's growth projected necessary changes in the accommo dations for 58,41 5 students. The board set plans to build a TMR facility adjacent to Nelsoi field. The program accommodated ten percent of the district's tote enrollment, ages 13-21, needing special education. Like any other year, boundaries needed changing. McCallum', interlocked district expanded, transferring in students from Andel son. 1 With an expected 3000 plus enrollment for the fall, Crockett' bulging seams needed letting out. The long expected fantasy wa made realistic. Austin had expanded in just about every direction. The onl place left for growth is to the southwest. Austin city limits cover 96 square miles. But its school district is the 48th largest in the US covering 270 square miles, said Ms. McClellan. The close of another school year drew near, when the lon, awaited bombshell fell into the lap of the newly elected presiden Carol McClellan. , The lilth district circuit court denounced the board's desegf regation plan. By a narrow margin vote, the board decided to appeal the Court! decision. But the trustees immediately went to work on a possibl desegration plan for implementation in the fall of '77, .I :vs-M l 'nr ., V' l Will Davis, past board president, responds to a ques- tion. vv fr.

But it was done three time: during the year instead of twice. No sooner did we begin oni quarter than we had to start working on the next, he said. For Mr. Elliot, books were still lost and books still had to be issued. But many of them were new materials for theinass of nev courses. i'We don't have enough books for everyone with the quar ter system, but we are making it, he said. He spent many hour: preparing, taping meetings to play back to the teachers so thei would understand the system better. When 2300 students from all different parts of town got together it made it pretty hard for Deans Shiflet, Brougher and Jackson tr keep up with them all, especially when many of us were experts a beating the system. But you didn't have to be a detective to knov that a girI's father was not on the phone when you had learner earlier he was out of town on a fishing trip.

Counselors and secretaries dealt with scheduling and paperwork problems tripled by the quarter system. hree times a year, the counselor's office was flooded by weary, confused, sched- ule-bearing students. i'l-lelping them get through it, was Mr. Jordans main goal. Working out sched- :ale after schedule, he quickly learned he variety of new courses. Mrs. Carrsovv, a jack-of-all-trades, tack- led problems ranging from scheduling to drugs. Students with parental or drug prob- lems, talked it out with her, and unsolved problems were referred to centers specifi- cally dealing vvith their problems. Mrs. McGee, confronted with situations from runaways to pregnancies, dealt with each one as a separate case. Students discovered that talking with her eased the situation and their minds. The quarter system offered a wider choice of courses to fit students into, which helped counselors build programs to keep kids in school. Secretaries shared the counselor's load. There's not enough time and it's tripled -the work, said Mrs. Strickland, who worked mainly with the computer side of the quarter system. t'Once we get through finishing one quarter, we have to start another.

Lanier students were more than ready to excuse school and teachers from their minds. Teachers felt the same way, if not more. No, they didn' spend their summers hunched over a desk of papers stacked mile high, or developing new and fascinating techniques to grade test papers. They really got the mos out of their time away from the long hours, hard work, andthe new quarter system. Relaxation was the main idea for most teachers. Govern ment teacher Mr. Penick fished, and was an expert checkers player. Sewing her own clothes, and canning pickles and rel ish kept Dean Brougher busy. lvlr, Rice, Math teacher, enjoyed collecting stamps and was an Amateur Radio Operator, An Amateur landscaping artist Dr. Phillips took pride working in his yard. Secretary to the Counselors, Mrs. Kratt spent much of her time at her cabin or Lake Travis where she water skied and sailed. Sailing is great fun and very relaxing, she said. Track instructor Mrs. Daniels kept in shape by running Taking out her frustrations on the tennis court was Eng lish teacher Mrs. Berkman's idea of fun. Better than tak ing it out on the students, she said. You had to admit, it was hard to picture your teachers living their lives in a normal way, Sometimes they seemed like living machines, programmed to lecture, give assignments, an: shout Be quiet. But they had just as many interests as any one else. Teachers really did enjoy their time away fron school, maybe even more than the students.

Many PE. coaches refereed in their spare time. teacher Interests 135 Having a Germany, also traveled to Volksfest in She Right: ever she Gan quently tot Qreed hile most students laid around watching television and soaking up sun at Lake Travis, it was difficult to imagine teachers picking up rocks in Canada, getting mugged in lew York City, shooting pictures of zebras in Africa, and scuba div- wg in the Carribbean. Teachers at Lanier were a traveling breed. When out of school, dey could be found anywhere in the world, Whether in Africa, or England, few were found in school during the summer, or the two- week Christmas holiday which only a teaching career would permit. 'raveling was an excellent opportunity for the teachers. They could elax, be entertained, and learn while enjoying their time away rom school. Registrar Mrs. Moore traveled by camper throughout the North lmerican continent. She collected rocks from everywhere she vis- ed, including forty-six states, Canada, and Mexico. Miss Cooke, a psychology teacher, learned along with the stu- dents. She Tlew with a group of them to Europe for two summers, and took them on a tour of the Soviet Union this spring. Scuba diving outside of Jamaica and Panama, Biology teacher Mrs. Leifeste taught a Marine Biology course for U.T. students. Not too many people know of the course, but it's one ot the best offered, she said. Miss Lehman of the Social Studies department traveled to ten countries outside the U.S. l-ler favorite country was Kenya, Africa. I spent much of my time there with the Massai tribe, of which I am an honorary member. She also photographed the people, land, and wildlife. Journalism teacher Mr. Edwards drove his van throughout the United States. After yearbook deadlines, l like to get away from people, and just relax, he said. Unfortunately, two muggers in New York City made him a little tense. Travel was indeed a learning experience for teachers. teacher travel 137 progressive student Council, a successful debate tean and drama club, a winning drill team, outstanding athletes and an award-winning annual created a new image to Lanier. Without sponsors and coaches backing the clubs ani teams, students never could have achieved extra interests. Thirty-five hours ot classes already filled their weeks. Thougl already underpaid, they worked extra unpaid hours outside clas with students, Extracurricular activites gave students and teachers ai opportunity to transcend their limited, in class relationship: and work together as people. They worked hard because the' were interested. Sponsors established warm, personal relation with young people. Mrs. Berkman thoroughly enjoyed working with the sixty Studer Council members. She liked working with students on a people ti people basis rather than an academic relationship. Through home coming, canned goods drive tor needy families, rebuilding of thi fountain, carnival and plenty of other achievements, lvlrs. Berkmai learned, t'lt's an outstanding group of unselfish people. Athletics is a way to work on a close, personal, day by da relationship with a number of young people, said Coach Bur rell. He got satisfaction out of watching them achieve to their fullest I can think of no program that we offer at Lanier that prepare the student for college research work any more than the debat program, said Mrs. Zucht. Her three debate teams earned the success through hard work. They won 37 first and second plac trophies. They learned debating wasn't only time-consuming, bt hard mental work. Mrs. King enjoyed a certain degree of creativity working wit the Vikettes. She taught the girls to work hard for success. Practic was one hour a day every day after school and two weeks of intens practice before each show and competition. Satisfied with thei performances, Mrs. King said, I love my girls. Teachers sponsored clubs for the students, but they got some thing out of it for themselves - a chance to see how the younge generation thinks and acts. They learned how to guide students int theirfuture. R255 Z I Still in costume from the Humanities Show where he was the Life Photogrz pher, George Edwards takes a break. IVlr.

No, it's just another quarter ilying by! The quarter system time factor changed the teaching routine. Teachers set individual goals in completing course outlines. Many hit on only the high points and necessary skills for stu- dents to pass a course. Course coverage progressed at a much faster rate. I spend two days on things I used to spend a week on, said Mrs. Clough. lvls, Vaughn saw this as an advantage. Under the quarter sys- tem, kids don't have time to goof off in class. Forgotten spare time and free periods were filled writing exer- cises, tests, and completing outlines. Lesson planning often extended into the wee hours of the morning. Attorney-General John Hill's November ruling prohib- ited collection of school fees for needed work books. Teachers had to xerox and duplicate materials previously paid for by the students. With new courses offered, teachers often taught courses they knew little or nothing about, and many had three or more prepa- rations a day. Teachers no longer got to know their students as friends oi sons and daughters. New names and faces had to be memor- ized three times over. Ms. King credited the quarter system for keeping teachers anc students interested in subjects. lf a kid gets into a course anc he doesn't like it, then he only has to be in it twelve weeks. More than likely he'll make the best of it. Teachers worked harder and longer hours under the quartei system. They tried to run their classes smoothly and make the best of a new curriculum. New materials were scarce, but some did arive in time to use. Mrs. Street counts copies ot start- ing a job, brought by Frank Schiller and Curtis Ross.

Teachers as Teachers o matter what the subject was, teacher involvement made courses what they really were. Each teacher had his own gimmick. Per- sonal student-teacher relationships, encouragement, enthusiasm, caring, and personal experiences and back- ground information promoted their courses. With some teachers, personal student- teacher relationships helped. Ms. Kulvicki and her humanities classes discussed a wide variety of subjects. They contributed personal opinions on everything from per- sonal hobbies to pre-marital sex. Mr. Porter encouraged his students to believe and to live by what they felt was right. In his Social Justice classes, he emphasized the fact there can never be a wrong opinion about something. Caring how tar their students pro- gressed played an important role. Mrs. Boren made sure students understood every aspect of each part of speech before progressing to the next topic in Transformational Grammar. A Class wasn't interesting or fun without a bit of enthusiasm and encouragement. Ms. Lehmann's adventures in Africa proved rewarding in all of her social studies classes. She showed slides of her traveling experiences and lectured background information about all of Africa's scenic views. Powerhouse Daniels inspired her tennis classes and track team by words of approval. If a girl showed improvement in her game or maybe in her serve, she didn't hesitate to say nice shot or MUCH better. She inspired her gals without making them big-headed. After winning first in the District track meet, she posted a sign in the locker-room saying, Girls, you were decent. With some teachers, the exact gimmick couldn't be singled out. For some undefin- able reason students never considered skipping their class. Mr. Crist promoted Biology as well as the Fonze promoted black leather jackets and the '5Os. teachers as teachers 143 Varsity Football .... B-team and Freshman Varsity Basketball. . .

Anderson had never beat Lanier and this game was crucial for both teams. The teams stayed within points of each other the first halt. After a rumor thatthey might win district after all, the Viks bounced back and played tough ball. The fourth quarter showed Anderson ahead 61-62 and they went into a stall that lasted ZV2 minutes.

The last team was in 1970. The need came from a combination of knowing of an initial interest ot wrestling at Lanier and a desire to tieid a competitive team. l to help build a wrestling program in Austin LBJ, Anderson, The Texas State tor the Blind and the Deaf had teams commented Coach Grace. For their first year, the vi won individual awards, along 24th out of 48. Bob Byrd won champion at 132 lbs. and State at 126 lbs. and was awarded Outstanding Texas Wrestler. His older brother, team captain Bud Byrd, won city and district at 155 lbs. Bart Byrd won city champion at 126 and piaced third in district at 1 19 lbs. Tom Costas won city at tO5lbsj and Earl Jordon won city in heavyweight and placed third in district in heavyweight. They lost their first one to LBJ 34 to 24 but kicked back and beat both LBJ and Killeen 35 to 39.

Right: Mrs. King reads Mr. Matthys a card the Vikettes presented to him along with an anniver- sary clock. Vikettes. That word conjures up a mental picture of a group of immaculately dressed girls carrying around tote bags with their hair neatly brushed and their nails nicely polished. Or girls high kicking out on the football field. Or screaming in unison at pep rallies. But it takes more than a good split or a high kick over your head to be a Vikefte. They worked hardto be the best drill team in Austin, and without a doubt they were. They had become as much a part of the identity of Lanier as the football team, the fountain, and even the building itself. Winning Sweepstakes at the contest in Commerce was a matter of course. Or any other contest they might decide to enter. Not only did they learn how to dance the most difficult dances and smile at even the most difficult audiences, but they learned important personal lessons. They learned patience and tolerance for each other when some found it hard to catch onto a new routine and patience with themselves as well. They learned responsibility, which was imperative if they wanted to be as good as they hoped. Working together as one unit was especially difficult to do, because there was a heavy influx of new girls and not as many old ones to help teach them. That was probably one of their biggest problems of i 975-76. Vikettes was very time consuming, but just about anything worth being in was, as far as that goes. There was little time to think about oneself during the hectic football season or in preparation for the Spring Show or contest, lt was a difficult time for those Viketfes who were taking more mind bending courses, because there was not as much time to study. lf was hard on one's social life for awhile, for i there was very little spare time to spend with friends l Kay Kirby, Robin Goss, Cindy Mortiz, Shawna l Ftiodan and Linda Henry yell in unison, showing their support for the football team.

There was plenty of time for good times after the long hours ot practice were finished, and Vikettes were especially good at having fun and making their own good times. Mrs. King deserved a lot of credit for the way her Vikettes turned out. She was a hard sponsor to have because she demanded perfection and she usually got it. She was also a moral influence on the girls as well as a friend, and probably one of the most respected teachers in school. Vikettes was full of all kinds of opportunities for meeting new people, going places, and getting plenty of exposure in front ofa wide variety of people. Shyness was easily overcome as excitement took its place. Other schools such as Leander got the chance to see the Vikettes perform, and they were well known around Texas as one of the best dance teams. For the girls involved, and for the people who got to see them, Vikettes was a truly rewarding experience. Far right: Junior Kay Kirby watches out for pirates in Never-Never Land at the Spring Snow.

Mr Matthys and Mrs. Lynn Berkman go over last minute details of the ceremony. Mrs Berkman earned the respect of every Council member this year with her genuine concern and enthusiasm in her role as Sponsor. The biggest project in years was then unleashed. Projects to raise money to fix the Viking fountain began. lt hadn't worked in four years, in spite ot yearly plans and promises to change its condition. Decorations for the huge Christmas tree in the fountain, Mr. Scrooge elections, Valograms, and tray money donations all went into the 55500 fund. On February 17, school board President Carole McClellan officially dedicated the courtyard fountain in honor of retiring Principal Fred Matthys. The crowd listened, amid tears and wistful memories, as Mrs. McClellan addressed the school- wide dedication saying, I believe this fountain will be symbolic as it has been restored in this Bicentennial year of the fresh beauty and originality that Lanier High School students will bring to this community. The Council went on to prove this prediction, collecting food and clothing for the Guatamalan Relief Fund, and then channeled all of their energies into a very successful Spring Fling Bicentennial Carnival followed by Kid's Day. Almost every fun school activity was sponsored by the Council and many community services were rendered. But, it was the Student Council Members who proved themselves leaders, making Lanier's Council one of the most dynamic in Austin. RK. ' 5 - 5? is 6?

Officers were elected at the beginning of te year, and the society elected to be run y all females. Under President Susan lorrison, Vice-President Andrea Dillon, ecretary Rosanne Rennscheidt, and reasurer Terri Rock, the club's activities or the year were planned. These officers forked with sponsors, Mrs. Dumas and tlrs. Teel. Induction was the most exciting event of te year, as members of the Junior and enior classes came to the cafeteria on ifferent days to see if they had been Elected for induction. Juniors had to ainlain a 90 average, and Seniors had to taintain 88. But more than averages, ther qualities had to be obtained - adership, trust, service, and then holarship. During the induction eremonies, Susan Morrison, Rosanne lennscheidt, Terri Rock, Sim lsraelotf, and :lark Zaleski explained each quality to lass members. Candles were lit and the nportance of NHS was brought into the melight. Members were selected by a special oard of teachers who began by finding ut all students who had the grade average Er qualification. NHS members who were do the inducting found out the names of ew members only the morning of 1duction.As class members filed into the afeteria, NHS inducters spotted their tductees and later picked them out by lacing a key around their necks. NHS raised money at the Carnival by aving a dart throw at monkeys, only the monkeys were photographs of teachers, ke the Four Terrible T's - Turk, Teel, aylor, and Tennyson. Carnvial-goers tust have really appreciated the chance lHS gave them, for the project raised 62,00 forthe society. Money was used to ontribute to Mr. Matthys' travel fund and E give small, honorary scholarships to two ,HS members. NHS was honorary. Activity was finimum simply because those members tducted were the caliber student who was lready involved in several other clubs and ctivities. This made NHS a society of iroud people who gave what they could nd enjoyed the honor bestowed upon tem. person, a bit more attentive, won a four-year scholarship to West Point Military Academy. .

Members Paul Pence and Carl Fairman even contributed their own work to the magazine. This year, Senior students began a class solely for the production of Skalds. These students typed, proofread, illustrated, and ran oft the copies. The students walked off the book for assembly, and put them on sale to the student body. The club ended the year with a celebration party. lt's as big and good as any magazine we've had and it has some really good material in it. l'm really very proud of it, said Mrs. Hutchison.

Excellence Was the Them We wanted to portray the optimistic attitude of Lanier. We chose a theme for the book everyone would remember high school with as new images and improvement. We had a lot to live up to. The 74-75 Viking won so many wards, it made our heads spin to think of being that good, The National NewspaperfYearbook Association awarded us an A-plus, their highest award. At the Texas High School Press Association convention in Denton, we saw our yearbook win all Texas with Special Honorable Mention, tying for second place in the state. At interscholastic League Press Conference at UT, we received the Award of Distinguished Merit with third best yearbook in the state. At Columbia Scholastic Press Association convention in ,New York City, we received Medalist, 'which is given only to the top lO'ki of the nation's first place winners at CSPA. All of these awards were stressed when trying to sell the Viking to Lanier students who thought the book never got out of our own school walls. Viking students and sponsor were active and eager to try anything different and exciting. Eight staff members traveled to Denton tor the THSPA convention, while Mr. Edwards, sponsor, went to New York City and UT conventions to speak on photography. We operated under a section editor system. Rayeanne Campbell and Susan Morrison put together the opening, academics, and Senior sections. Flora Choate and Theresa Gage worked on Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen and Faculty. Geri DelGuidice put together clubs, while Janet Roberson got ads together and was our Business manager. We had to be close-knit for this system to work, and we had to be dedicated. At times, there were doubts about giving llO'MJ, but we realized our ambition for an A-plus book. We showed changes within the structure of our new Viking. We integrated class pictures with features on activities and interests to try to get away from the mug shot look of class pages. Our whole system of working was different and in it we found gratification, frustration, and an occasional good time. There was work on weekends, holidays, and late at night, but with our goal to be as good or better than last year, we ironed out difficulties and came out on top. if , gg F' if ifffaj' Rt Qifiiitws i, 45... ,E I W Top: Flora Choate and Geri DelGiudice help each other identify members in a Vikette shot.

The addition of new Staff members each quarter, who wrote interesting stories, made improvements. l feel improvement started showing in the Christmas edition. We gained more in the second half of the year, said Lynn Morgette. The staff set up polls and the results showed students wanted more stories on themselves and free food coupons. Lorraine Parker visited the kicker parking lot and the Art room and wrote stories on them. Melinda Whatley interviewed Jarvis Houston. Kathie Bannon ventured to the Senior bench for her story.

Hello Out There was a drama about ill-fated lovers and how she is left alone after he dies. Nobody Sleeps and infancy were two comedies. Heather Hielscher played the lead role in infancy and Val Wright in the supporting cast, Pat Wycoski contributed her talents in the cast of t'Nobody Sleeps. Neil Simon wrote the fourth one-act, Here We Are, a comedy of two newlyweds. Since the cafeteria did not meet up with production needs, plays were staged in the activity center, offering an interesting, new viewing experience. 'Barefoot in the Park, another comedy by Neil Simon, was about two newlyweds and their first week of marriage. Laura Sargologos and Mark Fairchild acted in the Roles of Paul and Cory. New director Robert Foard and his talented cast faced the spring challenge of UIL contest with To Kill a Mockingbird. lt was the only play there that got a standing ovation, said Susan Phinney, The award of All Star Cast was given to Ron Williams, Donna Storey, and Richard Petty.

Tricia Moore shows her involvement in the song through her facial expressions during the winter concert. twat' iw' i -- ':y.fgf Explaining what can and can not be done, Mark Billingsley compromises with a prospective cus- tomer Lanny Wilhoite on the signs A Cappella sold. The faces and voices were younger and less experienced. A Cappella had more sophomores than ever before. But instead of hindering the choir, they made their youth work for them. Subconsciously they built up and renovated the image of Lanier's number one choir. lt was seen in the new spring outfits which debuted at the fall concert. Light, spring colored shirts and gingham dresses gave the singers a fresh look. Gold, orange, and white paint llvened the previously dull white walls in the choir room and blue paint gave a needed calming effect in Mr. Gifford's office. Another new idea, at the first A Cappella Banquet, members received choir letters formally. Students also honored Mr. Gifford, giving him a music cart for his reel to reel and turntable, plus very large speakers and microphones set up for the choir room. John CBuzzj Pound, President of A Cappella, through hard work and sheer talent, became the first Lanier Choir student to go all the way to State. In making State he accompanied 240 other students, plus the State band, in San Antonio, Texas for an all day clinic. Even the task of money making took on a new look. A Cappella sold made-to-order plastic signs that said just about whatever the customer wanted them to. Cake sales were attempted but thanks to rain and slow business, the idea of making profit off someone else's sweet tooth flopped. Pay concerts brought little profit but plenty of pleasure with two different outfits to set the moods. The fall and spring concerts with the gingham dresses and jeans set the pace for songs like The sow got the Measles and the winter concerts with songs like Musicks Empire had the more serious tone along with the black formals and white dinner jackets. A Cappella joined the other choirs of Austin in singing Testament of Freedom words written by Thomas Jefferson in tribute to the Bicentennial. The decision not to go on tour late inthe year broke many members hearts but the eyes were dried soon enough when the letters were received. A Cappella had to work harder than the years before to keep up the champion image because of the younger and less experienced. And it seemed at times that it just might not work. But they all buckled down and put out the best sound possible. I think next year will be even better, said Tricia Moore. a cappella 217 Early Morning Marches Robert Luter, Thomas Price, Jimmy Blum, Brian Vetter, and Ken Bickers warm-up tor the Con- cert and Sight-reading contest at Municipal Auditorium.

Everyone drifted from small disorganized bands into the organized unit that formed a marching band. Lanier developed over the last few years as one of the best bands in the state. The reputation grew from the dedication and hard work of the band as a whole. This band has technical ability and potential to get a first division, they just have to work together to develop the things they have going for them, said Mr. Ivy. But, the band was split into two groups, Vthnd Ensemble and Symphonic Band.. There is competition between the two bands, said Sandra Erdman. That split took its toll. Lanier opened the year with excitement. Weeks of hard work during summer band paid off as the band marched in the Austin Aqua Festival Parade. Members of the band showed their dedication by appearing at eight o'clock every morning for marching practice. After weeks of work on pivots and memorizing music, the band was ready for a football show. Geometric drills composed the shows of the year, where in the past it had always been crowd appeal shows in which the band played popular music and marched into formations to go with the music. The last football game ofthe year belonged to the seniors. They dreamed up the show and taught it to the underclassmen. Brenda Dressler, a senior, composed a march to go along with the original drill and then experienced the thrill of marching to it.

But, said assistant Drum Major David Doss, besides that nothing special has happened. The band performed two successful concertsg a Christmas Concert and a Spring Concert at which they played concert and sight-reading music as an example of the workings of UIL Concert and Sight-reading Contest. There were several individuals who worked a little harder and brought special honors to themselves. Steve O'Brien and Terri Tallas represented Lanier at the All- State Band convention. Doug Urban and Nancy Zacco as well as members of many ensembles brought back first division ratings at UIL Solo and Ensemble Contest earning themselves a chance to go on to the State Contest at the end of May. The major disappointment of the year came when both bands received second division ratings at Concert and Sight- reading Contest from a tough set of judges. We all wanted as one, but I guess we didn't work together as a unit well enough to earn that one, said Mary Bacon. Though bandsmen were not totally satisfied with the events of the year, it was a fairly young, fast maturing band and the hopes for a better year were strong. Drum Major, Steve O'Brien puts all his effort into direct- ing the band. Mike Tabor plays a Solo at an early morning Stage Band Concert. 'I 1Qief3.,Qfr .4 , as s 1 ca n J in . 5 , f.

The orchestra didn't march in any formations, play at any football games or give even one jazz concert the entire year. This must not have mattered however, since they succeeded, for the fourth year in a row, in being one of the two schools to make sweepstakes. Through the year, the orchestra displayed its talent by way of such students as Kevin Beutnagel, concert master, Roy Cook, Cindy Toth, both first violinists, and Janet Hutchison, secondary principal, Since only 15 people met fourth period as the orchestra, the members were close knit. Only two planned to go into music after high school, but all except six took lessons outside school. The orchestra passed the year practicing, giving concerts like their Christmas Concert here at Lanier and the Region Clinic Concert, and competing an All State Competition at L.B.J. High School, where they won sweepstakes. In the UIL solo and ensemble contest at O'Henry, Kevin Beutnagel, Roy Cook, Cindy Toth and Holly Smith came in with ones on their solos, and Lanier's Quartet also rated a one. lvlost of the kids in orchestra got their start after taking the music skills test given to students in the sixth grade.

You just needed to be concerned with raising funds to help out charities, This proposal seemed attractive to about 50 Lanier students who chose to join up with the ranks of Pan Am club, under the sponsorhip of Mrs. Welsher. Of course, a lot of the club members did take Spanish, but that was not required to be a club member. About 25 of the members, under the leadership of President Hector Cruz-Aedo, were very active in the club and made the effort worthwhile, Pan Am sponsored three or four bake sales, a gigantic garage sale at Hector- the-fearless-Ieader's home, sold candy canes at Christmas, sold nachos at the carnival, and brought the Mexican Revolution band to play Spanish music at an assembly for the student body. Funds which were raised went to help Guatemala earthquake victims C51 255, a certain amount of state dues, food and toy drives for needy families during Thanksgiving and Christmas time, and help for Mr. Matthys' travel fund, Although the group didn't make it to the State Convention because of scheduling problems, they didn't let the quarter system spoil their travel all together. A trip was planned for Mexico, but due to Mrs, VVelsher's upcoming motherhood, a shortened trip was taken to Garner State Park. There were also day trips to San Antonio for Fiesta Night and visits to old Spanish missions. End of the year activities included a banquet where the next year's officers were to be elected. Being a Pan Am meant being able to have a good time and help others at the same time, The fellowship of the members kept things going to help the less fortunate in our community.

Thats why we have the German Club - people can have somebody to talk to who they know have the same interests. LAGS must have been very attractive to most German students - two-thirds ofthe people who took German Capproximately thirty-tive peoplej were involved in the organization. A picnic for new members, a high school day in New Braunfels at the Wurstfest, selling sausage and buns at the Bicentennial Carnival, and competition at the TAGS CTexas Association of German Studentsj convention in San Antonio were activities which took up the time of LAGS members. At the end ofthe year, there was a private convention of LAGS at Lake Buchan nan for a tinal get-together for students. Under the direction of President Valerie Starr and Vice-President Allan Breazeale, LAGS put on a production at the TAGS convention which was rewarding as well as fun. The play consisted of a take-oft of a i Guten Tag film which was shown in . German class. At the TAGS convention, everyone participated, and one didn't , necessarily have to be a member of Lags. They key point was participation - whether a member ofthe play cast, the German band, or the German folk dance group. There was really no pressure to win, just to be a part ofthe action going on. Money raising was one of the main concerns of LAGS. Although there were money raising projects such as Carnival l sales, T-shirts, and the ever-popular l gummy bears, money was used to help T students pay for activities expenses and not necessarily just to raise funds. T The German Club set out to make l students feel at home in a large school and succeeded in just that. Any student involved in LAGS was sure to have the time i of his life with a bunch of special people.

The purpose of Caesar's Circle is to give students practical experience with Latin. Anything you have practical experience with, you remember. Our weekly meetings help us to plan what we are going to do with the other clubs in Austin. Being in Latin Club helps the students meet other people with the same interests and unique school activities, said sponsor Mrs. Sayers. An Arts and Crafts teacher, Mrs. Sayers had an extra aid in bringing Latin to life for her students who met every first period. When learning a facet of Roman life, for instance, students could build a replica of the city ot Rome, or dress dolls they made in costumes ofthe period they were learning about. Caesar's Circle earned money to help educate a boy in the Philippines and to plant trees on Town Lake. At the end ofthe year, club members attended an all-city Senatris Romanorum banquet. This organization participated in city meets and competed in vocabulary, Greek, and Roman grammar, literature, and history, and Olympic events such as discus throwing and track running. Latin Club attended contests throughout the year. In a city contest, Ric Sullivan placed third in the city on vocabulary contests. At the San Antonio Classical League contest, equivalent to a District competition, President Patti Parkinson came out tops on Roman life. When the club ventured to the Texas State Classical League meet, all Lanier students who participated from Caesar's Circle came home with placement inthe top ten in the state.

During their first year, FTA was somewhat unknown. They got a slow, shy start. But they gradually gained recognition as the year went by. President Dot Barger was strong and involved. Sponsor Mrs. Dolman was supportive and guiding. FTA was organized to familiarize students with different methods and to give them the chance to experience them. Janet Vittek and Laura Johnson taught Wooldridge Elementary School students twice a week. The club raised money by having a bake sale, assembly, and selling candy. The money went to club funds and to the nationwide FTA convention in Houston. Mrs. Dolman drove four of the twelve club members down to Houston in her own car. They went to the zoo on a Friday, and at the convention, attended the campaign for the state FTA officers. Saturday morning, the convention was divided up into different sessions on how to campaign for political office, workshops on human relations, and more down-to-earth things as how to make scrapbooks of club activities. Other workshops taught how to organize community and school service projects with emphasis on book drives, children's hospital, and elementary school work. They brought back useful knowledge to help build FTA strength at Lanier. Wooldridge children were thrilled at the idea of having Janet Vittek teach their class. Janet taught an elementary class twice a week. ip ' wg l lst Row: Mrs. Dolman, Amy Howell, Dot Barger, Ftoberto Corrada, Beverly Villareal, 2nd Row: Sandy Dot Barger suggests having a couple of horror Usher, Chickie Kulcdyk, Nancy Nehring, Carla Kerlin, Lisa Neitsch, Linda Kutach, movies for fund-raising assembly.

Ecology Club kept the Lanier campus cleaner throughout the year. They got together to see what they could do for the environment and to make people aware ot their action and what they could do. With thirty members, the Ecology Club set out to keep Lanier clean and the world around Lanier a little better. Sponsor Ms. Cooke, along with President Brad Phair, led the Lanier students to better understanding ot ecology and the environment. They started on Lanier's campus and worked outward. They painted ten litter barrels and placed them outside around the school. Some Saturdays they came and picked up the litter off the campus. Q,+?'f4r L-L Thursday ot every week they sponsored a paper drive in front of the school, encouraging students to bring paper to be recycled and they tlew the Ecology Flag. But they knew there were problems outside ot Lanier. They joined the Ecology Action of Austin, the Sierra Club, the Animal Protection Institution, and the National Wildlife Federation knowing that there were lobbyists to do what they couldn't. Each member was expected to spend a couple ot hours a month working for the Kroger Recycling Center, sponsored by the Ecology Action of Austin. They spent their entertainment time with nature. They went on a canoe trip, bike rides, picnics, nature walks at 6:30 in the morning, and a campout. They sold candy tor funds. But Earth Week was their time to shine. They presented lvlr. Matthys with a cake with an Ecology Flag in icing. They brought green cupcakes for the teacher's lounge. They made a slide show for classes and made available some Ecology films. They encouraged bike riding and walking and wearing green. They tlew the Ecology Flag all week long. Thursday, they awarded the FFA 325.00 tor bringing in the most papers in the paper drive. Friday, some teachers let their students out to clean up the campus. Saturday, they all rode bikes to North West Park and had a picnic, ending Earth Week in harmony. They were in constant search of a new way of communicating with people outside the club. They wanted everyone to know the problem and the solution.

The Care, Exercise and Feeding Of Future Farmers 5 A is N . A ' ,4 I A At the heart of Future Farmers of America was hard work. Careful selection of stock and day in day out care, exercise and feeding produced five breed champions, two reserve breed champions and a reserve grand champion. Ninety-five of Lanier's 222 entries placed in livestock competition. In the Austin Livestock Show, James Collins won breed champion in Hereford calves, Debbie Hippie and James Reeves won breed and reserve breed champion Hampshire hogs. Dean Watson's breeding sheep, a buck Delaine and ewe Delaine, w QA, ,wifi Q? M35 both took breed champion. Mary Beth Motl won Reserve Grand Champion in capon competition. The work started early in the year. Members visited local ranches looking for promising stock. Calves were in feed by September 1 , hogs and sheep later in the fall. From then on, stock needed daily attention. President Linda Johnson, in addition to coordinating all activities of the big club, fed her calf twice a day, brushed it for fifteen minutes, and walked it at least a mile and a half, rain or shine. The goals, straightness of back, muscling, finish, balance, and movement could lead to awards and increasing sales value. But most important, the people who worked learned leadership and responsibility, as well as practical economics of agriculture, FFA met monthly - Tuesdays at 7 p.m. to plan activities. lt was run by students.

Fixing Cars For a Grade and a Trade Banging, grinding, and clanking -this was the music heard inthe Auto Mechanics shop. With all this activity, Auto Mechanics was one of the most productive organizations in Lanier. Not only did it give you a trade to go into after high school instead of having to blow four years in college, but it was a challenge. It took a certain knack to be a good mechanic and in Auto Mechanics you could decide if that was your can of grease or not. Working on cars was as interesting to the guys in this course as batiking was to an art student or football to a jock. The people in Auto Mechanics worked on anybody's car, but the money went to Auto Mechanics and not to them personally. It paid for tools, like their new S1700 machine, and it paid their way to the many meets they went to. Coach Yoakum, Mr. Matthys, and Dr. Phillips were among the ones who had an opportunity to let the Auto Mechanics guys better their education on their cars. Lanier Auto Mechanics did very well in the District meet, and Ronny Smith and Rex Albrecht won second in State for their Corvair engine. Mark Bolles was also picked second in State for his engine head. Auto Mechanics was very rewarding for the people involved. It taught them a trade, gave the outstanding ones an opportunity to travel, and was exciting just in itself. The people who had been in Auto Mechanics found themselves ready to face the real world when they left school behind forever. Bill Pendleton and David Lopez appear very engrossed with their work on an engine. auto mechanics 235 236 distributive education On the Job Schooling Most people blew DE. off as a group of students who stayed hidden behind the blue door with the gold diamond, and who were lucky enough to get out of school early and make money the rest ofthe day. Not so. To be in D.E. also meant to be involved in DE.C.A. - Distributive Education Clubs of America. DE.C.A meant Halloween and Christmas parties, 325.00 dues, a Carnival booth, bake sales, a car wash, calendar sales, candy sales. Area convention and competition, a banquet with employers, and a breakfast the first Wednesday of every month. ln fact, D.E.C.A was compulsory and brought the life into being a member of DE. DE students called their jobs Training stations, which were considered a part of the Trainees grade. Joe Coach Cole, Lanier DE. coordinator, kept a tight run on how the trainee did at work through communication with various employers at stores all over Austin such as Edison, Scarbrough's, Storehouse, Beall's, K- Mart, Sage, Sears, and Leon's. Although DE. aimed at sales training, some students learned warehouse receiving, credit procedures, stock work, recordkeeping, public relations, and phone orders. Students competed in sales demonstrations, manuals, job interviews, and merchandise display at Area convention in Arlington. Two Area winners qualified to compete at the State convention in Houston. Clifton Shirley won in sales demonstration techniques which he practiced at Beall's in Northcross Mall. Gary Lockhart, DE. president, wrote a winning manual on automotive techniques in conjunction with his job in the Automotive Department at Sage. Some DE. students got out of school early after first or second period, but half of them had to attend DE. class from 7:30 to 8:25 to get to work on time. The other half had DE. first period. ln these classes, students worked on individual studies of selling techniques, display, and stock work. At other times, they demonstrated selling techniques and designed advertising layouts. Discussions were held on job problems and solutions about employers, customers, and store systems. Sometimes, Coach gave lectures on employer-employee relationships, what Right: Gary Lockhart, chapter President, works on carlight displays at Sage Automotive Center. Gary wrote an Area winning manual on Automo- tive Technqiues using knowledge he learned on the job. DE. meant, communication, and how to get the most out of business. To the DE. student, a job meant much more than just earning money. lt meant learning business and how to relate to people within the business framework. For the student who was looking ahead after high school, it provided a pattern on howto earn a living and enjoy what one was doing at the same time.

With Mrs. Wagner as their sponsor, the Cosmetology club spent three hours a day for two years preparing themselves for careers they could begin directly out of high school. Students learn leadership, getting along with each other, cooperation, and fair play, said Mrs. Wagner. President Kathy Cantwell agrees. I receive the benefits of working with people and of learning a vocational skill, said Kathy. Officer Phyllis Clark remembers rolling her dolls' hair as a child. I enjoy helping people. I learn to work with the public and get along with people l don't know, said Phyllis. Selling singing Christmas cards and candy dolls helped pay for their out of town trips for competition. Cosmetology also sponsored a Christmas party for girls at the State School. They also did the girls' hair for free. Competition took place at Holmes Junior High in San Antonio this spring. Five girls were eligible for the statewide contest in Dallas. Those included were President Kathy Cantwell, Jodi Johnson, Debbie Ray, Sammi Styles, and Petra Club.

Members learned more than office work. They learned how to handle the responsibilities that came to them. ' . The group contributed much of their time to the community when two needy families received baskets of food at Thanksgiving. A family at Christmas felt warmth and gratitude for the club when a bundle of clothes was brought to their door. They showed their affections to the State School for the Blind with an Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning. f VOE was extraordinary as a whole, and everyone was involved. Syvlia Townsend, president for senior VOE members, was selected as Miss VOE. State competition proved rewarding for Donna Wildey when she won first place in accounting. We have people representing Lanier and making it look good, said Mrs. Galloway, Jonna Welsh and Elaine Dickerson worked at the Lloyd Bentsen Headquarters. Syvlia Townsend worked in a lawyer's office as an assistant secretary. An overabundance of jobs as secretaries, accountants, file clerks, typists, and financiers kept senior VOE members working throughout the year. The club raised over S1000 selling stationery and fattening people up on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The money helped them get to contests and paid for their annual banquet attended by the employers of the members that worked. Working for the law firm Meadows, Cowden and Foster, senior Voe president Sylvia Townsend gets familiar with a few law books, Sylvia was elected Mis VOE by her club.

Zi According to a Nationwide survey, four out of five high school graduates go on to college for a degree, while only 1 out of 5 jobs requires a college degree. This means service jobs are becoming more and more common, and the more experience sought in high school the more opportunities available in the future. Lanier offered several work programs for the more job oriented person. HERO, Home Economics Related Occupation. A program involving 59 Lanier students in conjunction with the Home Economics Cooperative Education program. Students worked part time, and attended classes part time, while receiving credits for their jobs. HERO was a learning process. Sponsor Mrs. Titus said, Students learn the joy and fulfillment of doing a service for someone else. Said Mrs. Titus, sponsor. Also a sponsor, Ms. Mitchell said, Students get out of it what they put into it. Member Martha Luter enjoyed meeting with students from other schools. lt is too bad more people are not in a Co-operative class, because of the experience and education, she said. The variety of jobs taken by students were many. Senior Sue Pickle stocked groceries at a local Handy Andy food store. Senior Ron Liles cooked with the chef at Saturday's restaurant. Gwen Moore worked with children at Garden Child Center, and Martha Luter was a child care aid for the Johnson schools. Some of the activities were fund-raising projects such as selling candy and sponsoring a band assembly. March 11,a city-wide banquet was held, at the Villa Capri, in which students received Outstanding Leadership and Outstanding Student Awards.
