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. Paul Pence, besides being an avid Star Trek fan, once painted himself green for St. Patrick's day. Fascinating. atsa some spicy student bodyf' unique people 35
