We could venture out artd gamble a little more with our emotions. We reevaluated old rela- tionships with parents, God, friends and lovers. We learned new ones. As we got that driver's license, combed North Austin looking for our first job, and approached eighteen, the ties that gently yet firmly held us to our parents weakened, and were replaced with mature understanding and respect. Independence was our cry as we borrowed the car and rushed off to meet friends at Mr. Gatti's or Northcross. The close triends we had seemed like they would always be there.

And together we forgot our troubles and had fun cruising Burnet Road, skating, playing pinball, drinking, and eating greasy pizza, hamburgers and popcorn. We tell in love, and it was always the big event. It dominated thoughts, feelings and school, lunch and evening activities. When the Moods played at Dessau, when we saw A Star ls Born, at Homecoming and Prom, we shared the most beautiful times together.

We were like no other seniors ever produced by Lanier. Ot course, we had the usual senior characteristics, that air of confidence and cocky attitude toward the administration and teachers. From the usual slouching gait evolved a new mode ot transportation, the senior swagger. We didn't move any taster, just with a new found self-assurance, ready to face the world, or so we thought, Underneath our poise and assurance that we could handle anything was a small nagging tear about our future lives. We worried it we were really ready. Could we make the grade? be a success? or was our tate failure? Turning eighteen added a lot of new responsibilities to our lives, like being able to vote, drink legally, do anything without our parents' permission. ln both the presidency and city elections we had to evaluate the candidates and make a decision that was right tor the country and our city. At the end of our junior year we pledged ourselves to make our senior year the best ever, After all, this was our last easy year of school. We watched with pride as the Homecoming Queen and her escort, Rene Jennings and Calvin Boyd, were chosen from our class. The senior girls played hard during the Powder Puff game, determined not to let those punky juniors gain an inch. And ofcourse we won.

A Graduation, that magic event on the horizon for so long was here. For many of our class it would mean freedom, to others it meant having to leave the safe security of home and venture forth. In the flurry ot getting our caps and gowns, invitations, and graduation gitts there was very Iitlte time to think that we might never see each other again. That is, until we settled down to our own Baccalaureate and graduation at Toney Burger Activity Center and began looking around us. And it was much worse after we had received those treasured diplomas and started saying our goodbyes in earnest. We had tentatively begun to move toward our future. Slowly, one step at a time, but moving nevertheless. We had lett behind our childhood. Good or bad, that was our next phase of life, senior syndrome 21 fter waiting all morning with growling stomachs and visions of quarterpounders, burritos, chocolate chip cookies, and hot, crisp trench tries dancing in our heads, we jumped at the special bell ringing in food, friends, and freedom for 35 glorious minutes. The whole lunch experience varied for everyone depending on where they ate, what they ate, or if they ate at all. Upperclassmen with cars learned to make quick decisions with hungry passengers voting. Shall it be Whataburger, McDonald's, Burger King, A2S.Wts, Mr, Gattis, or Taco Bell, today? if money was low, lunch-pools were sometimes formed. To the persons belonging, it meant a hearty meal at a different member's house each day. Large crowds could always be found eating inthe cafeteria, to the melody of screams and the continuous roar of meaningful conversations. While some enjoyed the school's hot lunches of meat, vegetables, and steaming delicious rolls, others satisfied their hunger with chili- cheese burgers, onion-garlic potato chips, and banana sicles on the side, lf the weather was warm and sunny, lunch seemed to be more fun eaten outside in the courtyard or parking lot. Even if the weather wasn't all that great, a number of people justenjoyed being outside, doing the things people do outside: practicing frisbee, being close to people who care, and smoking a quiet cigarette before class. For those who didn't like to eat or had more pressing things to do, those precious 35 minutes gave them a chance to research that English paper or finish that chemistry problem that didn't get done the night before. lt was also a fantastic opportunity to get help trom a friend who actually understood the lecture in Algebra. No matter how hard we tried to get away from t'school during our lunches A through D, we kept on learning, We gained an education in money and time management, the ability to make quick decisions and the ability to relax! We matured in our knowledge of society and our own personal values. 3 A friend in need is a friend indeed. Sherry Ulfeng borrows pennies from Connie Sharp to get some inexpensive cafeteria food. 4 Kenneth King decorates his hamburger with mayonnaise during lunch. Winnie Nelson and Doug Brite waited their turn with hamburger, tries and a shake for 55 cents. 5 Cheryl Mythias and Karen Kovar relax in the courtyard during lunch.

Wood- creek provided loads of fun, If Austintatious Entertainment ustin, and the surrounding area, was full of fun and had a variety of entertainments that kept us from getting bored. Beautiful hill country and lakes provided outdoor pleasure. Bowling, skating, and pinball were favorite indoor games. Concerts, ballets, movies, and parties lent a cultured air to our nightlife. As the weather warmed up, we trooped out to City Park and Lake Travis for afternoons of swimming, skiing, boating or just soaking up the sun. David Ryan, a senior, and others could slalom so well it looked effortless. Quiet drives through the hill country led to camping sites with peaceful fishing holes on Travis. ln town, the hike and bike trail at Pease and Zilker parks, soccer, softball, frisbee and tennis increased in popularity. Pros and amateurs alike made good use ofthe sun, batting multicolored balls around the court. And even if you didn't know how to play, a sexy tennis dress never tailed to catch a second glance. Ahhh . . . night time! lt was the right time. After wearing yourself to a frazzle all day with studying, tests, and learning, you had to have time to relax. Following a big event, a special date, or just because you felt like running around, was an absolute necessity to stop at your favorite night spot to eat, drink, and be merry with friends in the lights, noise, and action of places like Northcross Mall, The Still, or Mr. Gatti's on a Saturday night. Anything from the latest gossip to the top hit ofthe week could be heard in it snatches and pieces escaping through the door as new arrivals entered, or as restless teenagers bounded out the door to look for bigger and better things. As you stepped inside, the scene was like a physical blow to your senses. Lights blinded you, the smell ol nachos or pizza drifted past your nose teasingty, and you could feel the pent up excitement of a teenage crowd on a Saturday night. Popular Northcross Mall provided food, entertainment, and a chance to meet new people at the Gold Mine, an arcadeg ice Age skating rink, a movie theater with six screens: and a handful of places to eat or drink.

Networks competed with first run movies, producing enormously popular made for T.V. movie series Roots , Rich Man, Poor Man , Captains and Kings , and Once An Eagle. We went out to escape from school and the continual routine of learning. But! learning carried over into our nightlife. We acquired the standard social skills, how to make friends and fit in with your favorite group, and the socially acceptable do's and don't's of a teenage society. We learned the rules of sex and dating, complicated though they were. Not knowing what to do or say in an awkward situation, wondering how to keep hisfher attention, scraping your brain to find a topic of conversation that would interest both of you. How far a couple should, could, or would go on a first date depended a lot on their standards. Dating or going steady generated pressure. Many adolescents experimented, and learned, sometimes the hard way. Many others decided to wait until they matured more to face the problems, conflicts, and consequences of sex. We learned to deal with money, making decisions between this movie, that favorite girl, or another splurge on new clothes. We mastered the ticklish art of manipulating our parents. We learned to be persuasive, tactful, and above all, subtle. When the purse was low on cash or we already promised our gang we could definitely get the car, all the charm we ever possessed had to be dredged up and applied to a cause dear to all teenage hearts, conning our parents.

The Vikettes featured in their Spring Show a pantomine about the song Lucille, a dance routine to Southern Nights, their award winning ladder routine and a tap dance by Jan Jay, Leslee Roberts, Gayla Griggs, and Robin Goss. More dancing surfaced when, near the end ofthe year, the Hartford Ballet Company from Hartford, Connecticut visited. NHS brought the rock group Rabbit which was a big hit and Student Council presented us with the Country Edition, much to the delight of Lanier's kicker crowd. Another of the Student Councils contributions was the Lanier A Cappella Choir, who put on a Christmas Concert in the gym, Later inthe year the Yearbook staff showed a slide presentation as a preview to the '77 Viking and Rick Presley sang the top-forty as he got whiplash in his hips trying to imitate Elvis. To fill in the empty spaces there were several basketball and volleyball games, plus the coaches' twangy imitations of Hank Williams and Charlie Pride. But whether we used the thirty minute period to smoke a cigarette, get some munchies at the store or to really see the variety of assemblies, it was worth it just to get out of class. 3 The Hartford Ballet gave us a beautiful and unique type of assembly.

We didn't dress up and we didn't dress down, but the hustle and bustle of pre- Homecoming week still existed, Seniors plastered the gym with go get 'em signs, toilet paper, balloons, and streamers, while juniors adorned the cafeteria, sophomores ornamented the downstairs, and freshmen decorated the Upstairs. Game Day began with a very big and spirited pep rally. Throughout the crowd, gold and white mums rode proudly upon girls' shoulders. A special kind of excitement arose in the crowd as the cheerleaders led us through P.O.W.E.R. and Viks Are Dynamite. Our dreams were shattered later in the evening as Austin High ruined our Homecoming game 21 -1 3. The highlight ot the game was Wilburn Houston's 40-yard run through an amazed Maroon defense for a Viking touchdown. This was overshadowed by two Viking fumbles on the 15-yard line, breaks that gave the Maroons the game, During the halftime festivities, the award- winning band and Vikettes, with their silver and pink hoops and dome routine, performed brilliantly once again. Screams of joy and thunderous applause accompanied the announcement we all had been waiting for, The 1976 Homecoming Queen and Mr. Esquire are Bene Jennings and Calvin Boyd. After many hours of preparation by the Student Council, ranging from decorating the cafeteria to selling tickets, the time came for fun and all-out enjoyment- the Homecoming Dance. A black and white trellis, green leafy plants, foil stars suspended from the ceiling, and a mirror light ball created a romantic, dreamy, Garden Party eltect. This year's dance resulted in a true coming home with the many returning Lanier exes. Such familiar faces as Brad Phair, Mark Simpson, Phil Gilmore, and James Taylor rekindled many fond memories of past school years. Gil Garcia, KNOW's disc jockey, spun hit after hit according to the requests of the crowd. We bumped, hustled, slow danced, and kicker-danced to such popular tunes as Cotton-Eyed Joe, Color My World, and Shake Your Booty. Despite the sorrow and disappointment we felt after losing, we ended Homecoming Week '76 with comfortable feelings of happiness and belonging. 1 Bene Jennings and Calvin Boyd stand ecstati- cally on the football field after being named Homecoming Queen and Mr. Esquire.

Blue streamers brightened walls and blue satin covered the walkway. Backstage on November 18, with the hustle and bustle. and the fear that you or ' your escort might get sick, tension rose.

Not one of us stayed at home every night, locked in the impregnable fortress of our room, edged with a moat ol textbooks. We had a lot ot tun and did some crazy things. We were a service organization. We gathered at Villa Siesta Nursing Home once a month to visit the elderly. We served refreshments, played bingo, and shared conversation. We volunteered to man phones at KUT radio station for a fund-raising drive they sponsored, Rabbit played for us at an assembly, and we sold baked goods to raise money that provided scholarships for our outstanding members and funded an end- of-year picnic. We left our school with the fight song that hangs in the gym. We learned organization from planning the visits to Villa Siesta. We learned about apathy, yet we also learned student involvement. Cows, horses, pigs, ducks, turkeys . . .all attended the annual Quill and Scroll banquet. Lanier's journalists enjoyed themselves in Mrs. Hutchison's backyard, singing Old MacDonald while watching DeeAnn Smith's lizard and Karla King's beaver imitations. Outstanding writers from the Viking Yearbook and Runeskrift staffs, along with members ofthe Literary Club and publishers ot Skalds, were honored at this banquet. Editors of Lanier's literary works, Flora Choate, Lyn lvlorgette, and Karen Herrington, initiated new members with a candlelight ceremony and gag gifts, such as liquor-flavored lollipops for the non- imbibing Nancy DeGlandon, and the book, Uln Search of Jimmy Carter, for the anyone-but-Carter Paula Thiede.

After having dinner at Magic Time Machine, Top of Westgate, PTl, and other popular restaurants, we all arrived at the Driskill's Crystal Ballroom. The girls dressed in formals ranging from slinky halters to frilly chiffon, and their dates dressed ln tuxes to complement the color of the dress. The pale blues and pinks, white, and pastel florals blended together to add to the aura of the evening. Seeing our friends out of their faded blue jeans and ragged t-shirts, and dressed for the only formal event many of them will attend, was half the fun. Everyone was so stuffed when the music. supplied by the Crystal Image, began that it took a few songs for the dancing to get started, But after the first few couples got their courage up the dance began to move. Lots of the dances ws it-ft ff were fast and loud, but when the music slowed down and you were dancing close with that special one, the evening took on a dreamlike quality. ln between dances, couples drifted around, talking, drinking the punch from those fascinating fountains, and having their pictures made. The biggest problem with the Prom was that it was over much too soon. So we came up with our own entertainment. Several all night restaurants like Jim's and Jo Jo's were flooded with after Prom breakfast eaters. Others went to friends' houses, or just drove around. We just didn't want this special night to end. But eventually, the dresses were hung in the closets and the tuxes were returned. We fell into bed and drifted off to sleep, dreaming about dancing, soft lights, and flowers. These memories of our special night will last forever . . .

A few concentrated on the arts. spending time on Concertos. choruses and crafts. We were setting our goals higher and, as our capabilities grew, we were achieving them. When we did fail, we could bounce back, and chalk everything up to experience. We benefited from every situation. Staying up all night cramming for our hardest exam and then failing it by 6 points was so exasperating. But we learned to accept it, and to start earlier next time. When we did our best and succeeded, like losing the extra 10 pounds and keeping it off, meeting a publication deadline or being accepted to college, we experienced the greatest feeling. Our duties and responsibilities grew as we grew. Commitments were made to be kept. We were getting jobs, handling our own tinances, and accepting what lite was handing to us. We were getting a taste of independence. So many things were happening in the world it was hard not to be caught up in it all. Being so near the voting age, we perked up when new experiences 55 Betsy Smith DeeAnn Smith Gene Smith Holly Smith Stephenie Spiars Ann Stanfield Randy Stenson Sharon Stephenson Brian Steves L S fel' 1 Celeste Stewart Hayden Stewart Donna Storey 4' X 5 Pam Stovall Dianna Stratton Gary Sullivan Arthur Sweet Jeffrey Swindall Johnny Swindall 56 new experiencesfseniors 1 1 We got involved in the high school traditions.

In New Rela tionsh someone mentioned politics. Eighteen year olds took stands for chosen candidates. Questions about ERA, draft dodger pardons, abortion, and city annexing unsettled our views. As we changed, we learned more about ourselves. Our views were no longer our parents, they were our own. Sometimes it was hard tor mom and dad to let go, or admit we were growing up. But time couIdn't be denied. We understood our parents' needs and feelings, and insisted that they honor ours. We learned to compromise. When we gave a little, they gave a little, and life ran much smoother. We promised to be home on time and they promised not to tell us who to date. We agreed to pay tor gas and they agreed to let us have the car to go to our new job. Friends were made tor the keeping. They encouraged us to grow and strengthened our personalities, When they shared our views and interests, we had common bonds.

They cared for us as equals. We felt the pains and thrills of being in love at new depths. We really cared for our special someone. It was so easy to become attached and lost in our emotions. We were sexually aware and had big decisions to make. Which directions would our relationship go in? We fought to keep controlg not to let feelings overwhelm us and misguide us. But we also accepted the emotions as naturalg not something to be ashamed of, Involved relationships started patterns our whole lite would follow. Our reactions, decisions, and feelings all aided our growth. We learned from everything. We were getting stronger.

We have all heard the line I want to give you all the things I never had. We had to be great pianists, because our parents never could take lessons. or all-star athletes because they never were able to play sports. We were expected to goto college because they never had the money. Our parents seemed to want to live through us. We were good and ready to live our own lives. Parents nagged us about grades and set curfews that always seemed too early. With one breath they would gripe because we weren't cleaning our plates, and with the next, tell us we should get out on our own, find a job, and accept more responsibility around the house, And noisey?! . . . Everytime we walked in the door we heard, Where have you been? What did you do? Who were you with? Remember the night you tinally landed a date with Mr. Right. Then, when he finally came to the door to get you, your father invited him in and gave him the Third Degree while you sat there and quietly bit off all your fingernails. Parents were really a pain in the YQS sometimes. But we didn't always make life a bed ot roses tor them either. We began to suspect that it was true when they told us, Someday you'lI thank me for this. Parents wanted their children to be healthy, wealthy. and wise. The closer we came to graduation and leaving home, the more we realized how much our parents had done for us. Cutting our mothers apron strings wasn't going to be as much fun as we had imagined. Remember all those trips they made to football games and Northcross Mall, and how they always came through in a pinch. Like the time you needed a new dress for homecoming, and the one you wanted was way over your budget. Or when your senior ring came in and you had forgotten to save thirty dollars to pay it off. Even though they seemed to want to dampen our good times with curfews and restrictions, our parents made most ot the good times possible. ln spite ol our ditterences ol opinions, we realized that our parents always wanted what was best for us. who 5, ti 1 lo -Q if iii fr ii y .A .I 4 r x X IX X 1 Families like Melvin and Mary Beth Hoffman's meant continuity tor Lanier.

Students like Laura Johnson burned the midnight oil doing homework to better themselves for a future career and for to fulfill a vocation God may have planned for them. It determined the people we kept company with. ll we'd grown up as non-believers, our closest friends were non- believers. It we'd grown up in a religious crowd, like Cathy Carter and Leilani Bugg, our closest friends were religious. When it came time to decide on a college for the future, strong Christians chose private schools like Baylor, SMU, and TCU. For those not making religion an issue in their decision, UT, SWTSU. AGM and Tech were undenominational alternatives. When we got a job, our faith determined the quality of relationships we had with fellow workers, If we were good Christians, positive relationships were easy to come by. A limited few, promoting I Lost lt bumper stickers, didn't believe in God. Sunday was merely the first day of the week, the last day of the weekend, and a great day to watch the Cowboy game instead ol attending an hour of worship service. But many more were holiday church-goers, filling pews to the brim at Christmas and Easter. Twice a year sufficiently expressed some belief in God. They had their feet in both worlds, but not firmly in either. They either didn't have the feeling all of the time, or didn't act on it, Many, were satisfied and content with whatever relationship they did have with God. Dedicated church-goers practiced their belief in the Lord by setting aside an hour of every Sunday for worship services. Many churches offered morning or evening classes for religious enrichment. Active and dedicated believers exuberantly expressed their belief in Christ. Laura Johnson played the piano at services and Kim Schaffer sang in the Crestview Methodist Choir. Ray Kuehler and Judy Newbury aided in leading a folk mass at St. Louis Catholic Church. Mark Billingsley sang in the choir at Westover Hills Church of Christ. He often led youth devotionals and once sermoned at a worship service. Spreading their joy of knowing Christ, Cindy Cain and Laura Votaw helped teach God's work to children as JOY bus workers at Cameron Road Church of Christ. They rode the bus Sunday mornings and evenings and Wednesday nights. They prepared lessons and bus materials many other nights ofthe week. These people were dedicated, all right, dedicated to Christ. Cindy Cain said, You should act like a Christian in everything you do. We should all try to be followers of Christ. You could always recognize strong believers as Happy Christians. You knew them by their patience. their bright smile as you met them on the way to your next class, or the happy-go-lucky feeling they exhibited twenty-four hours a day. Their entire outlook on Iile was optimistic. They believed a lite ol serving the Lord on earth led them to an everlasting eternity in heaven. The joy and religious feeling some people got from watching the Cowboys. going to church only on holidays, and those attending services every Sunday, strong Christians knew every day.

The thoughts of somebody special, or sometimes of nearly everybody we passed by, filled us with excitement. Their eyes, their hair, the vvay they walked and talked, and that special something made us long for them. We could envision ourselves with them, playing at Northcross, walking to class together, watching TV together. Being in love, or thinking we were, could make us ecstatically happy or gloomily depressed. Sitting by a silent phone night after night, or going the long way to class, just to see them, and never even receiving a glance, could make life miserable But when things clicked just right, and our find found us, too, everything came up roses. Couples like Greg Johnson and Julie Vanek, or Patti Rennscheidt and Clayton Bean, discovered the joys of dating steadily, and liked it vvell enough to continue. People like Diana Wheeler and Gary Glaspy, or Dee Ann Smith and Robert Kramer, seemed to have dated for years. When relationships got underway, learning started. With experience, vve knew vvhat vve liked in a date, and we learned to perceive their preferences, and compromise. Lovers vvere seldom as perfect as they first seemed. As we found out more about them, we adapted to their needs, and felt more free to be honest about ourselves. 1 Kelly Timmons and Randy lvlutschink get in the mood at a Moods assembly slovv dance. 2 We spent hours together, doing vitually noth- ing. but enjoying each others company Gay Anderson and Ronnie Lerma watched a lot of TV together, enlrancing programs like My Three Sons reruns. 3 You could always spot partners who looked alike, dressed alike and clowned around together, like Hilary Yarrington and Val Wright. 4 Going steady meant doing nice things for each other on holidays and special days With her mothers help, Rhona Cross shops tor Charlie Chapman's birthday present.

When we found out we were getting a raise, or better hours, they were almost as happy as we were. We counted on them being there, and they expected the same from us. We learned hovv to give time, effort and caring. We made sacrifices for them and realized it meant more to be good than selfish, Saving money for a real special birthday present, instead of blovving it on ourselves, added up to a special occasion full of love and appreciation, and a special relationship. love 67 Ginny Bowdy Greg Bowens Karisa Bowman Ricky Bowman Brenda Brooks Alvin Bryant Kim Burnett Denise Burton Richard Burns Cindy Cain Sandy Cain Donna Cannon Steve Chambers Elenor Champ Jerry Chavers Larry Choyce Letitia Collins Mike Colvin Chris Conklin Donald Conley Melissa Cornell Roberto Corrada Tom Costas 68 triendsfiuniors X 'lap-,gb N H 'i , .

What made somebody your friend? The time you needed a ride home and they went out of their way to give you a ride home anyway? Or when you didn't have any lunch money and they lent you some? Giving you a blank permit that was forged with the artistry of a professional was a true sign of your growing friendship.

Some went unrecognized, some reveled in glory. Their goals and activities made the halls, classrooms, stages and playing fields come alive. Class clowns always gave the comic relief needed during all the formula figuring, noletaking, and memorizing. People like Ann Barnes and Beth Hoffman could take a song, commercial, or part of a movie, twist it around and turn it into a side splitter that would make your eyes water. Innocent bystanders would be the victims of their creative and loud pranks. Hilary Yarrington's unique sense of humor appeared in the art of ballet. Posing a dramatic stand, her expressions added another dimension to the rehearsals at Austin Civic Ballet. Aspiring actors, singers and lawyers took their talents to available electives and soared quickly to the top. Chris Fairman argued his way to National Debate and had a very impressive intra-city winning record both singularly and with talented partner James Starr. He and James were the only debate team in Texas to be invited to National competition at Pennsylvania State University. They placed in quarter finals. Helen Shuler was an accomplished flutist in the Viking Band and a frequent soloist in A Cappella. She also was in Austin Civic Chorus. Playing female lead in Barefoot in the Park and taking Best Actress in Zone LJIL contest, Laura Sargologos' name was synonymous with Drama.

They inspired adoration and resentment, earned the dubious privilege of having teachers' honor and increased expectations, and laced more problems than many realized. We looked up to them, and stereotyped them by their achievements. But they didn't feel extraordinary. They struggled and worked like all of us, only harder, because they genuinely enjoyed their field. Mark Billingsley has sung all his life, mostly in church, and this year it paid off as he made State Choir. For him, singing is his life: I love to sing. I enjoy the competition and getting scared. He valued the recognition, but even more important was the actual singing and the enjoyment he got from music, despite the fatigue he went through in competition. When he described singing and music, his feelings emerged. It's beyond words what music doesg you can teel it. lt pulls on the heart. David Taveirne was well-acquainted with the problems facing achievers. He often played on the football field while injured. He said, You've got to push ahead. Physical pain you live with. He felt it was worthwhile to know you've done the best you can do. Not only did he excel at sports, earning all-district two years for football, and all-district in shot put and discus, David also succeeded in his studying, earning Outstanding Junior in 1975- 76. All this was part of my life. You feel real good insideg it's excelling, not failing. It feels great! Junior Bubba Jennings achieved highly, also. He played among the best of Lanier's football players, many of whom were older than he. Hayden Stewart, Ronnie Dawson and Jeff Jackson worked hard for the Vikings, too, Demonstrating versatility and skill, John Barger, Christina Dahlberg, Donna Storey and Rusty Fuller performed with talent and Cindy Rowley acted as an indispensable stage manager for Lanier's drama dept. Hailed as successes, these players reflected their time, effort and sacrifices. Julee King ran track with outstanding results. Cheryl Polley excelled at both basketball and volleyball. Stacey Pfluger, a freshman, played on the JV volleyball team with amazing success. only denied playing Varsity by AISD rules.

Cara Ellison, Elaine Dickerson, Obra Sauls and Alberta Dickerson show off their styles. 5 Mike Nolan flashes a warning to everyone in class. Things like original T-shirts kept us from being one of the crowd. AMW L,uliiLS Dedication Earns Honors meet. The girls at Lanier were determined to prove themselves as athletes in their own right, and they succeeded in doing just that. Ken Bickers became Drum Major his Junior year of 1976-77, Assistant Drum Major Kenny O'Brien aided him in leading the band during award-winning halftime shows where we watched intricate patterns and listened to stirring music. Terry Tallas, Beth Puckett, Teri Dingler and Dessie Sherrill produced the music which favorably represented Lanier wherever the band appeared. Performing to the background music provided by the band, the Vikettes danced to lame underthe leadership of Captain Diana Wheeler, who stretched, kicked, and jazzed her way to New York City on an all-expense paid excursion, First Lieutenants Rene Jennings and Paula Moore, Second Lieutenants Jan Jay and Leslee Roberts bOogied down with equal dexterity and grace. As a combined group, the Vikettes were known throughout the state as The Best Drill Team, and they worked hard to keep this title. Achievers stood out in less well-known areas. as well as those with no real organization to attract attention. Thad Clayton represented Lanier admirably in many FFA contests. Chris Fairman debated to Washington, D.C. in a national contest. Kevin Curran debated, too, and was one ot Lanier's two semi-finalists in National Merit Scholarship competition. Ardie Schneider and Dessie Sherrill also excelled academically, Besides being a Vikette, Kay Kirby received the DAR Good Citizen Award and performed very respectably scholastically. Helen Harrison achieved through artistic ITIGGDS, while Mike Hinojosa and Leslie Marshall, president and vice-president of the Student Council, organized it into a group. We learned from each other in high school. Achievers inspired us to new heights: new excellences. They represented Lanier with pride and enjoyed doing so. lt was often tough, but they kept plugging. That's how they did itg the reasons for doing it ran the gamut from a little conceit to a lot of inner pressures urging them ever onward, But they never could have risen to the heights they did without time, hard work, and a little old-fashioned pleasure in their field, people 75 l Kyle Haddox Terry Hans Bruce Harlan Sandra Harrus Bryan Hawthorne Cynthra Hawthorne Muchelle Haynes RaeLynn Henry Joycene Hervey Bully Joe Hrnds Marlene Hoelscner Tommy Holcomb Mark Holt James Hoover Luz Hoover Carolune Houston Muke Howell Karu Howle Chrustue Hubbard Sondra Hughes Pat Hunter Scott lhrug Dan Isbell Davud lschy 76 hobbues and unterestsfuunuors f Photography was a tume consumung hobby for puctures for the yearbook worked at Texas Camer darkroom Here he prepares to prunt a colorsheet 2 Marc Hughes and Greg Easley mockungly try to balance heavy trays on theur heads and hands as Ftona Ebert stands by un amazement for the Ausfun Cuvuc Ballet performance of Gaute Parusuenne Greg has performed as a Cuvuc member for 2 years 'K R Skis. 3 Gettung away from ut all soarung over the beautuful Texas l-lull Country causes the splrlt to soar Jane Anderson checks for aur frafluc on her funal approach to Tum s Aurfueld north of Ausfun 4 Lou Arun Bell ecsfatucally funds an umportant stamp She collects stamps from all over the world Thus hobby has enruched her lufe wuth knowledge of other cultures Disco vering In teres ts hroughout high school we involved ourselves in adventures, discovering who we were and the purpose of our lives, We started out relying on other peoples values and opinions, but we grew up using our own instincts, talents and interests. We could make Baked Alaska, take quality pictures and make charcoal drawings come alive. We were talented writers, singers and artists! We perfected old interests and sought out new thrilling ones. We began setting our own goals - not ones set for us by our parents or peers. The arts drew mass attention, with the artists leading the way. Steve Chambers designed the cover of the Viking yearbook and spent half his school days at Johnston in the commercial art program. Melinda Williams designed the Beauty Ftevue backdrop and sketched Valhalla pictures. She also participated in the Saturday Morning Art Project at UT. Susan McAlpin was into making sculptures of horses. Selling her charcoal drawings made some extra money for Teri Smith. Allen Gillette passed many quiet relaxing hours painting. He also spent a great many loud exhilarating hours in motorcross races. Bose Borel put a little of herself into each Christmas, Easter or birthday card she designed. She would include in each her own poetry. Janet McGuire, a gifted ol. , v qlkv. if-'Ns writer, turned out many delightful pieces of poetry and short stories because it was enjoyable and relaxed her. The beauty and grace ot ballet made known its presence through the Austin Ballet Theater dancers, Melody Hood, Johnette Norris and Jenny Thompson, who was also active in drama. Talented Lisa Joiner and Greg Easley danced in popular Austin Civic Ballet productions. They sometimes rehearsed seven hours a day tor performances of Belictum, Nutcracker and Gaite Parisienne. The exciting sound ol Jack FairchiId's banjo rang out through the halls of Lanier as he played for various classes. l-le got interested in playing because he liked the sound of banjo music. l-le took lessons for one year and continued to study from a book by the famed Earl Scruggs. Jack made his favorite banjo from a kit. Tearing apart and rebuilding cars was a fun way to escape the pressures and tension ot school. During their free time, Guy Delisi, Aaron Zapata, George Harris and Charles Boehl would lose themselves to their own world of pistons, cherry paks, headers, grease and carburetors. In this corner, Gus Pillsbury weighed in at 138 lbs. He saw a Junior Olympic boxing competition and decided he'd like to get in on some ol the excitement.

She and Jacky rode in the English style while Tracie preferred the Western style. Jeff Lewis raised, groomed and cared for St. Bernards. He went by his own self-taught methods and won some trophies. Russel Powers, another animal lover, collected and sold snakes. Russel said, The hardest thing is feeding them, they have to be force-fed until they realize the food is okay to eat. He brought a 5V2 ft. Bull snake to show Ms. Dolman's biology class. T-shirts and bumper stickers bearing the saying l'd Rather be Fishin' were all around Lanier and on the minds of Randy Filla, Bret Mann, Calvin Boyd and Gary Glaspy. Bret and Gary would watch the sunrise over the water as they waited patiently for the bass to bite. Seniors Mark Pennington and Harold lngersol explored the deep dark caves of Mexico. Both guys joined the Balcones Grotto Club, a branch of the National Spelunking Society, in their sophomore year. If I ,, x ui, They explored caves tor mapping or digging tunnels, but usually they went just for the fun of it. Rusty Fuller also explored deep dark regions, except his were underwater. Rusty, son ol a scuba diving instructor, began this stimulating activity at the age of eleven in Taiwan. He enjoyed the waters of Lake Travis along with the Texas and Florida coasts. James King built model rockets in his spare time, and launched them when the weather was nice. He got one to climb to the incredible height of 4,000 ft. Roberto Corrada competed with his rockets. He owned several models. Jeff Hope had a good time doing magic tricks to entertain people. He got interested in magic, an expensive hobby, when he was eight years old. He enjoyed the simple-looking tricks as much as he did the elaborate illusionary ones. Those who traveled were interested in excitement, adventure, ditterent cultures, history and people.

Travel was fun, be it to another country or East Texas to visit grandparents For some who didn't have the opportunity themselves to travel, different cultures were experienced in other ways. Lou Ann Bell collected stamps. Her grandmother worked for the UT Law School. She saved stamps and gave them to Lou Ann, who compiled them in her books. Laurie Sherrill traveled by way of books. She was constantly reading and learning that people in different areas of the world are similar yet different. Our talents inspired some of us to pursue them as careers or at least to help us on our way out in the real world, Tom Cher1auIt,a yearbook photographer, worked at Texas Camera. l-le was awarded Best Salesman of the Year in DE. l-le learned to develop negatives and prints. l-le even set up a color darkroom in his home. Shirley Conklin had lun in the kitchen. She enjoyed baking exotic dishes and planning lun-type meals. She began 1 42 ,W experimenting when she was about nine years old. Some of her favorite dishes to create were spaghetti with homemade sauce and ice-box cakes. After she moved out on her own. this love of cooking would keep her from depending on TV dinners or routine meals Vickie Williams gained the satisfaction and knowledge that the future would be a little bit brighter from being able to make her own clothes. She had been able to sew almost all her own clothes since she took a Singer sewing course when she was eleven years old. Saving pennies might not sound like an exciting thing to do, but tor Joette lselt, who had accomplished over 392.00 worth in one year, it might come in handy. especially if the government stopped making them, We matured, learning responsibility, budgeting our time and money, and realizing we needed time for ourselves and our self-growth. We gained confidence. endurance and the insight to see the importance of dedication and challenge. We found that our hobbies and interests were not just fun, but rewarding. They could be useful in our futures: they might even become our lifetime careers. qv hobbies and interests 81 Bruce Meier Scott Meier Bridget Mercado Glynda Mercier Marc Merry Lucy Mitchell Ftandy Muze Jay Moeller Debra Moore David Morgan Debbie Morris Sylvia Mosqueda Mark Muelbrad Cindy Mulkey Diane Muniz Tammie Murray Flandy Mutschink Debbie Myers Ken Neans Judy Newbury Brian Newton David Nunnery Melissa Oatman Jackie O'Brien 82 musicfjunlors lr 6 n the morning it woke us at night it lulled us and all the time in between it helped our day go a little better Music helped our dates when the conversation was skimpy and when we felt we had no other music was always a friend Some ol us were in it prolessionally and some of us were just with it On the way to school over our mom s protest or the honk of insistent horns the radio blared lt helped take our minds off that test we didn t study for or the fight with our steadies and in general just soothed our nerves Janet Hutchinson was just one of the many people that were interested in music more than just casually She had played the violin for six years I probably won t major in it but I may use it as a minor she said Byron Hinderer who sang in concert choir also playsthe violin Helen Schuler who played the flute sang in concert choir and studied private voice for two years She placed second in the AFS Talent Show singing opera She hoped to make a career with the Metropolitan Opera and sang with the Austin Civic Chorus David Dealing played a beautiful classical guitar but he said It s for my private enjoyment only During lunch at Lanier music was food for the soul Transistors with ear plugs suspicious looking watches and other musical contraptions could be seen making their way around campus attached to someone s arm Out in the parking lot the Doobies or Charlie Pride crooned away with the help of a car stereo Most people enjoyed the radio joining in when it was time to crack the books Writing essays with the help of John Denver s syrupy lyrics was a popular favorite Elton John and Peter Frampton went well also The Eagles and Neil Young both put on a fantastic show at the Municipal Auditorium and with Ted Nugent s audience at Armadillo it became love at first sight Progressive country like Rusty Weir and Asleep at the Wheel let lans two step their way into heaven at well known bars around town The biggest concert bashes had to be the outdoor breaks Willie Nelson starred as an all time favorite at his famous 4th of July picnics and at the Sunday Break I and Il superstars such as Peter Frampton and Chicago drew tremendous crowds.

Harrell started for the Vikings' first Undeleated basketball team I F Learning . . . The Freshman Realit can't believe it. Just yesterday I was frolicking in the murky waters of Bull Creek. And three weeks ago was my fourteenth birthday. Now, for entertainment, I write I love Tutall Jones all over my algebra book. The month before school started, I had nightmares every night. Harassed by teachers, stampeded by the entire student body, lost in a maze of classrooms and hallways, and then - thrown down stairs, hit on the head with senior rings, stuffed in garbage cans, and tarred and feathered by upperclassmen who insisted it was all just a part of freshman initiation. School that first day was like stepping into another dream, only this one was a lot better than the ones before. I wasn't stampeded, just occasionally attacked by an Organizer or Bic- Clic pen. To avoid initiation, I worked up a strategy which first called for me to find as many ot my friends as I could. Clt's common knowledge that a lone predator never strikes when it's outnumberedj Also, I should never look lost or bewildered. This is one telltale sign of a freshman and it can really get you into trouble. So right away I started memorizing my schedule and the colors on the doors. For its enormous size, this school has a really relaxed, easy-going atmosphere. People talk to anybody. In junior high everybody wor- ried more about who they were seen with, lf you wanted something and you were some type of jock or cheerleader, you had it made. But if you were just ordinary, you didn't have too much of a chance. l-lere, that's not true. You can do just about anything you want to. What you get out of high school depends mainly on how willing you are to get along with all dillerent kinds ol people. The teachers are more relaxed, too. They don't spend all of their time sniffing around for bubble gum. In tact, most of my teachers encourage chewing gum. They say it relieves the tension. They are more like friends in a way. I guess that's why I like school so much more. They really seem to be concerned about how well we are doing, and they respect us, too. The main problem with my teachers is that my brother and sister had most of them. They expect me to be just like them. But I wasn't. I was completely different from them. But I guess it won't be so tough to get through. l've done it before, I never believed people when they talked about how fun high school was. I can see now that it was the truth. This isn't just your typical humdrum institute. It's last-paced and spirited here. I feel like a part ot things here and I really enjoy myself. Being a freshman isn't even slightly as bad as those nightmares. fo' , 1 'U ... freshman intro 87 88 - 'N we A 4' SteveSeaIe RobertSee Paul Segura ll 'ff' 1.

Guest speakers like the one from Austin Health Cen- ter and practical application gave us training that could help in an emer- gency, To Think for Qurselves ife at high school was geared for learning. Underneath the slamming lockers, the bustle of people scurrying to class, the rustle of papers being dropped and picked up and thrown, the pandemonium at the sound of the bell, the splash of water from the fountain, the laughter and screams and curses, ideas were flowing and learning was taking place. The kicker with his hat bent over a test, his restless tobacco chewing momentarily stilled, a gold-uniformed Vikette listening intently as the football player in his tie explained the complexities of an algebra problem. Shouts from the courtyard heard over the drone ot a teacher's lecture, reminded those incarcerated in their classroom of the outside world. The echoing explosion of a forbidden firecracker destroyed a carefully nurtured train of thought, frustrating teachers and students alike. Despite the chaos, the tests were completed and credits painstakingly acquired. We were taught the basic concepts and skills we would need in our lives. Teachers pounded in this framework, then gilded it with more involved, more technical details. The a2+b2:c2, became the Pythagorean Identity in Trig, cos20+ sin2O: 1. Simple subjects and verbs from freshman English grew in branching sentence diagrams in Advanced Usage. But more than memorizing E:mc2 or the letters on a type- writer keyboard or the date ot the founding ot the American nation, we learned to think. We could apply the knowledge we gained in the classroom to work and play outside of school. We might not figure our distance from a telephone pole by using its shadow, but we could make change and figure out a problem through logical reasoning. Thinking became a normal thing for us to do rather than a foreign process, We learned to use our knowledge effectively. Teachers encouraged creativity, and some were courageous enough to accept questions from the eager students. These teach- ers usually granted students a democracy in which to live, rather than a dictatorship in which to exist. Even tyrannical Taylor's classes emitted the noise of living students - laughter, shrieks, moans - when compared to the silent classes where no questions, stupid or otherwise, were ever answered. When the teachers accepted our questioning minds as challenges rather than threats, we were able to grow. We developed a sense of self, a feeling that we were worth something and had something to offer. Even fun courses had assignments to be completed. To get a task in on time necessitated organization of thoughts as well as budget- ing of time. We had to discipline ourselves. An assignment on Tues- day that was due on the Friday after a Thursday night football game, meant Thursday night should be busy with homework. So we set priorities, and for some reason, the game usually won. We became experts in conning teachers, if you looked innocent enough and behaved well enough, Dunkin' Donuts was never far out of reach, despite Mr. Wiley's stern edict. We best related to those in authority by avoiding them. When we had to face them, we usually knuckled under to their face, resisting strongly all the while behind their backs. We learned to accept their criticisms and those of our teachers, which made us more receptive to complaints and groans from par- ents and peers. We did not want to fail ourselves, and we did not want our friends to fail. If we understood an assignment and our next-desk neighbor did not, it was normal to bail him out. Later, you might need the same favor. The most treasured remembrance of our high school years is our friends and the people we met. We think back on the fun times, but the learning stays with us. We learned a special talent or skill from every aspect of high school, sometimes without even real- izing it. Learning succeeded within us more than we will ever know.

Eng- lish was the basis for all communication. We had to compre- hend and respond to our fast changing, growing environ- ment. We needed English to progress in our learning in sci- ence, in social studies, in lite. We constructed speech trees in courses like Grammar I and ll. We conjugated verbs and familiarized ourselves with participial, infi- nitive, and gerund phrases in Basic and Advanced Usage. We grew frustrated when we had to add in a that when we'd previously been told the four letter word wasn't necessary. We moaned and groaned when we were unable to recognize faulty parallellism. We prepared ourselves for college entrance exams like SAT and ACT. Completing four years of English made the freshman year of college a little easier. Profs' at UT weeded out the weaker students the first semester. We waded through literature from Reading Techniques to Advanced Short Story to World Literature. We read the ideas of Poe, Twain, and Shakespeare and reviewed the great works of famous writers in Survey of American Literature and Critical Analy- sis. We envisioned fantastic gods and goddesses in World Mythol- ogy, Students like l-leather Smith and Johnny Gonzales illustrated basic definitions in a Mythology Vocabulary Notebook. Frank Dahl- berg brought a model lyre to school tor extra Credit. Bill Thompson, Lisa DeVane, and Ken Phillips acted out a skit of their mythical version ofthe world's creation. Interested students like Barbara Ernst and Valarie Franklin enjoyed discussing plots, themes, and viewpoints of world- renowned authors. Mark Keeter and Frank Schiller dramatized the close relationship between Huckleberry Finn and Jim in Survey of American Literature B. Leslie Marshall read works of Shakespeare to satisfy personal curiosity and to know more about Elizabethan writing, The English department worked to achieve one major goal - getting back to basics. Colleges and universities questioned what students learned in high school English. We enrolled in Reading Techniques to improve our reading abilities. We memorized defini- tions of common vocabulary words to interpret and comprehend everyday conversation and future reading. We learned basic parts of speech to speak correctly in everyday life. We carried over ideas through media. Roberto Corrada, Chris Fairman, James Starr, and Tracy Hester competed in debate tour- naments as first-rate orators. We expressed inner emotions by act- ing out plays and skits in Beginning and Advanced Drama. We cap- tured other peoples expressions and moods on film in Photo Jour- nalism and Media. Whether it was grammar, literature, composition, or language arts electives, English was the root of all learning. language arts 91 Karen Walker Michael Wall Darrel Warneberg Paula Watrous Donna Webb Kathy Webb Justin Weeks Wes Weise Michael White Kathy Whites Gloria Whitfield Larry Wianecki Michelle Wilkins John Williams Kristi Williams Vicki Williams Susan Wilpitz Andrea Wilson Lee Wilson Terry Wimberly L.

Verb tenses, vocabu- lary, and memorizing dialogues were not the only skills learned, Learning to speak the language, observe the customs and traditional holidays, and especially to prepare and eat the foods, all intermingled for a fascinating and fun learning expe- rience. Building close bonds between friends and your sponsor was perhaps one of the most beautiful learning experiences you could hope for. Students actively involved in Pan Am helped needy families, sell- ing candy and raising funds. Pan Am donated S250 to UNICEF, a turkey to a needy family, and a S100 donation to Pesos for Braces. Lesa Kunkel took 164 cupcakes to the State School that the club made especially for the children. Celebrating special occasions, Pan Am had a birthday party for Mrs. Salinas, a Christmas and Hal- loween party, and for traditional Cinco de Mayo festivities they pre- sented The Ballet Folklorico. Laurie Mitchell and Vic McWherter helped set up for most of the parties. They rented a close by apart- ment for a day for the annual Christmas party and helped with dec- orations.

Also the money was used to support a student in the Philippines and their club, Senatus Romanorum, The Latin club joined the German club at Inks Lake. The German club existed mainly for the fun of it. Attending Wurst- fest in New Braunfels and a TAGS convention at Baylor University brought the old and new club members closer together. Laura Johnson, Donnie Youngbloom, Judy Lentz, Heather Smith and many more dedicated members went to the TAGS convention. Activities at school included selling the multi-colored Gummy bears that everybody enjoyed. The club also participated in the canned food drive at Christmas and rounded off the year with a gathering with Latin club at Inks Lake. Although no French club existed, Madame Benaiteau's sec- ond period class existed as if it really were a club. Madame's return from a first quarter hitch at Anderson heralded an ecstatic welcome back party. Activities included a Christmas party, authen- tic crepes the class made and her personal pictures from her recent trip to France, The class performed skits at Doble and Burnet junior high schools to cultivate interest in French studies. foreign language 95 v..1'sh is all iii ilu f ll ' an ' 4 V 'ma 7 if Q X 'I r, o , 1 , ,Q f r t Mr. Cookes sociology classes learned about many areas of school and lite.

The American History course emphasized domestic policies from 1865 through the post-World War ll period, Politics and Ideals e learned about ourselves, the whys and wherefores of our own actions and thoughts, and we began to under- stand the way societies function, ours and others. Study- ing their beliefs and ideas led to increased understanding ot their ways. Prepared with that appreciation tor other cultures, we learned to contribute to our own, We proceeded to become informed, even active, citizens of our community, country, and world. We learned about ourselves, why we flew into a rage when our best friend talked aimlessly with a guy we liked, why we reacted to authority in the different ways we did. We gained knowledge about our own country, and the develop- ment ot our society. The contributions of minorities taught us to understand the trials and triumphs of all races, and tracing the development ot customs and traditions helped us to appreciate our culture more. We studied difterent regions, learning their physical geography and cultural lifestyles. Mrs, Irwin provided us with interesting tidbits about the private lives of kings and pharoahs, We learned why peo- ple in India could starve while plump, juicy cattle strolled through their streets. We drew maps until we could point out major cities and Iandforms in many different continents. All these learning experiences combined to make us more informed people. When ldi Amin rose to infamy in Uganda, we could vaguely picture the place. We remembered that there were many tribes and lots of other rather unimportant details pertaining to the area, but we did recall something. As we became better educated, we grew more interested in the affairs around us.

We had ample opportunity with an exciting presidential election, as well as city council elections to vote in. Whether we were able to vote or not, we had definite ideas about the right man tor president. Carter was a liberal trom out- side ot Washington. Ford was experienced. The one thing everyone agreed on was that they were voting more against one than forthe other. City council elections caused similar reactions, but generated less interest. We telt important when we said I'd vote tor McCreary adding very quietly it I were voting. Mr. Hilsabeck encouraged his government classes to make their feelings known to their student government, causing small riots on Wednesday when the representative reported. Mr. Porter's classes learned about departments in the city government by going out and interviewing department officials. We were discovering, in his words, that The government is the servant of the people, not the peoples master. We were trying to become adults and learning how to handle their responsibilities. Social Studies courses taught us about our real world, the one in which we lived and interacted. We learned to become participants in our world and we came to understand more societies than our own. These courses taught us about ourselves in our society in our nation in our world. social studies 99 Sheila Cearley Bard Chafrn Jlm Chapman Curtls Chelette Ray Crlek Orlando Crsneros Kathy Clayton Jelt Cllne Lsnda Chne Ronny Coleman Jamle Collms Mlke Cone Kelley Conelley Shrrley Conklln Lon Cook John Corbett Deborah Cox Mana Corrada Jeff Coursey Rhona Cross Clndy Crulckshank Ricky Cruz Aedo Mellssa Cutrer Otls Danlels 1 O0 mathlsophomores X , 'sw 4 lL 1 Kevin Curran and Davld Rosas test Newton s method of approxrmatrng real zeroes, We made rapld computer calculations to follow advanced math ematics problems. 2 Computer Math expanded with the computer lndustry Kay Engel: information into phone hook up wlth UT s computer Taurus 3 It wasn't easy to get up ln front of the class and flgure out an algebra prob ,I lem.

I ,,y.',x.,',.--, Precision and Logic ith only two years required, and neither year specified, math had a smaller population than almost any other subject, Most students took their requirements in the easiest way possible. Introductory Algebra and Fundamentals of Mathematics classes always made it over the class cuts and were offered every quarter. First year Algebra and Geometry were filled, too, and in these courses, students were able to go a little more deeply into the subject. ln Mrs. AIexander's Geometry classes, Melinda Williams and Rudy Garza worked designs employing angles and lines as outside projects. April Smith made stained glass windows trom optical illusion tigures. The FOM classes worked with calculators once a week, and Mr. Packwood's MOCE class used programmable calculators. They were trying to prove, as Mr. Packwood said, You can have fun with mathematics, You dont have to be a superbrain to do math. Some students discovered that they not only had the aptitude tor math, but that they also enjoyed it. For these, there were more spe- cialized courses like Computer Math in both Basic and Fortran lan- guages. In Mr. Packwood's computer class, James Davis, Janet Hutchison, Phil Peterson, Debra Rodgers, Sandy Slavins, Karen Walker and Ftonald Wright each played a specific part and acted out the workings of a computer. Calculus classes were usually active, and Trigonometry classes traded sarcastic witticisms with Mrs. Teel and Mr. Taylor. Lucky members of Mr. TayIor's classes joylully celebrated the birthdays of Attila the Hun and Adolt Hitler, not to mention the St. VaIentine's Day Massacre, with bloody festivities of their own. The advanced math classes were small, but intense and fairly dedicated to learning as much as they could. The little things in math could be extremely frustrating, like when you begged Mrs. Teel to explain where 2b2fa came from and her lightning-quick hand zoomed along without pause. Or when you were only telling your neighbor that yes, Mr. Taylor was cruel and inhumane, and he heaved an eraser at you, right on target! But in suffering through these little idiosyncrasies, we acquired a lot of knowledge we could take with us and really use later on. We could apply the precision of a geometric proof, and the reason- ing behind it, to thinking in our day-to-day lives. Vile could make change with frightening accuracy. Mr. Packwood said, Math is a subject we'll all use in lite, one we often use without realizing it, Mr. Taylor added that Mathematics deals with ultimate precision. You learn a thinking process of logical reasoning. And Galileo said, lt fthe universej is written in the Language of mathematics. math 101 Stephanie Danner Mike Davis Tim Davis Dan Davidson Cloma Dawson Tom Deba Dale Delamar Kelly Delmas Dennis Dickey Mike Dillon Steven Domel Sac Dominquez Sam Dominquez Denise Douglas Holly Drew Lisa Duet Charmaine Durst Mark Ellis Cara Ellison Glenn Ender Barbara Ernst Michael Essary Craig Eulentield Kim Falke - Y 17335535 V to 5 'Q :C . 41 fk if 1 V .

Many labs like these gave us first hand information to work with in the textbook labs, D l 3 Caretully measuring each drop, Don Kennedy and Lisa Penny work on the acid and base experiment in Household Chemistry. Once the basics were taught, we learned what really went into the everyday things around us like cold cream, lipstick, and candy. 4 Flae Ellis, Sharon Blincoe, Michelle Loflin, and Lane Perry measure the weight of the graduated cylinder in order to weigh liquids in Introduction to Physical Science.

X K To Examine Qur World xamining the things around us and experimenting to observe processes was what Lanier's science was all about. From analyzing the grass in our backyard, conjuring up a batch of lipstick, or constructing an atom, to learning how our body functions, science taught us to look beyond what we already knew and to question what was taken for granted. Variety played an important part in structuring our freshman and sophomore science program. Specialized classes like Sound and Light and Household Chemistry taught us how to make cameras out of shoeboxes and mix our own cold cream, expos- ing us to the complexity of the simple things ol lite. Switching the previous requirement of one year to two, sopho- mores fit biology classes like Diversity of Plants and Animals ,id The Study ot the Human System into their schedules. We dissected worms and frogs, studied flowers under microscopes, and raised our own plants in a garden in the little courtyard. Those planning to take chemistry took Atoms and Molecules and Microbiology to get basics in chemical bonds, formulas and reactions, Basic health courses, required to graduate, had variety within the courses. We learned about health centers in our community and the jobs available. Mental disorders, viruses, communicable diseases and their symptoms were memorized. Coach Masch's memoriza- tion techniques aided his students in learning the fundamentals. With a test every day they remembered the necessary information through repetition, Different teachers taught in their own ways stressing different things. Coach l-locker had his classes keep track of what they ate, then evaluated the nutritional contents. We began to see the world around us in a different light and applied what we learned to every day life. We read ingredients labels, knowing what substances would be the most nutritional. We knew now why things happened and could explain things better, with more accuracy, Science gave us a head start on the unknown. We knew there was a cause behind every effect. ,, -A x science 103 104 Kim Feille Debbie Femalat Josephine Fernandez David Fischer Debra Fitzgerald Andre Fitzpatrick Alan Ford Michelle Foster Patricia Foster Carol Foxworth Dennis Frankum Glenn Frey Dari Fuessel Paulette Fulkes Fiusty Fuller Donna Kay Gann Liz Garcia Gavin Garcia Jackie Garner Nancy Gick Kevin Gillett Greg Goehmarin Johnny Gonzales Shari Gordon 'Q A ani .L 4-V' Q, l'N' i i C1 Fguiiiv Wo'95d, s i t .

Before secretarial work, you had to learn to type. Before car- pentry, you needed fo learn the basics ot construction. VOE or ICT didn't teach these fundamentals. If was typing and woodworking that got people started. Mr. Ftussells woodworking classes were divided into two levels. The first instructed students in the basics of woodworking and guided them through mandatory projects like birdhouses. On the second level, Dennis Frankum constructed a roll top desk, and worked on a potting table for his mother. A lot of stereo accessories popped up. Paul Segura made his own speaker boxes, Le Phung and Gerald Mueller made coffee and sculptor tables tor their homes, Mr, Russell also taught an Auto Systems class. These stu- dents concentrated mainly on engine systems. Most of the labor was in the form of tune-ups. Mrs. Quinius taught one of the most valuable classes you could take. Typing was a skill that was useful in high school, college, and even more so when looking for a job. Being able to type could mean the difference between two- thirty and three-twenty an hour paychecks. ln UIL competition, William Bacon and Cheryl Selby typed two five minute writings. Kim Armstrong also competed, and Laura Johnson placed second in shorthand. Mr. McCarty's drafting students got the opportunity to design their own architectural and engineering models. Donald Dyess from Advanced Machine Drafting designed his own plans for a one cylinder engine. Robert Luter of Advanced Architecture, build a model of a school, and went to regional and state contests. Janice Thomas, Charlotte Scottino, Pam Johnson, and Denita Simpson of Mrs. Perry's Food and Nutrition class took four white rats, put two on a well balanced diet, and the other on a junk-food diet, and actu- ally saw the difference that a diet can make. Several students from Mr. Jay's Metalworking classes qualified for State Competition. Brett Mann made his way with an engine stand, while Dean Stewart constructed a small barbecue pit from a beer keg. Dan Fuessel qualified with a metal sculpture of a cowboy roping a steer. Vocational classes prepared us for the established vocational program, coops, and outside jobs. Metal working, Food and Nutri- tion, and typing paved the way to valuable trades. vocational classes 105 Don Grant Alan Graves Cynthia Gray Tina Gray Ftobert Grebba Ray Green Gayla Griggs Brad Grubb Susan Hatner Steve Haight Gail Hamrick Ronald Hamrick Bobby Hancock Kim Hans Georgette Hardin Becky Harper Earl Harrigan Shane Harris Shirley Harris Renee Hastings Perl Haun Brenda' Heimann Leslie Herrington Tracy Hester fr.- I Q. 1' ' at V 5 rr , . fi . ,- I-,.,, k s. wi ' r I 'S 'fi iifttf .- sgi' 4 t x ' A- 'fvglifi , :. rotr fr' , rroe i 5 work classesfsophomores 1 Wendy Phillips and Gretchen Lingo move a big plant closer to the auto- matic watering system in the Horticulture departments slat house.

Three hundred-plus students in vocational programs learned a val- uable trade through on-the-job-training. Algebra taught us how to find missing variables, which might be used in figuring out income tax, but income tax came long after high school. Classes like DE, VOE, and Auto-Mechanics gave stu- dents the thorough training they needed to handle a job - while on the job - now. Solid academic classes prepared us for college and gave us tid- bits of information for conversation. But the vocational classes really showed us our potential and our limitations. Practical skills like typing, selling technqiues, credit procedures, and shorthand let us know if secretarial work would suit us better than salesmanship. And if we liked it, the vocational program made it easier for us to get the job. We recognized the value of money, After making our own money, we didn't spend it as fast, Two-thirty an hour didn't stretch as far as our parents' salaries. We had to use psychology to keep a job. We found subtle ways to ask our supervisors for the day off, and telling a customer that their lay-away item was accidentally sold to someone else was a breeze, We realized that college wasn't necessary to get a good job. An electrician could earn up to 340,000 a year, while college educated teachers, architects, and lawyers were finding it harder to land jobs. The white collar demand was slipping. Secre- taries, plumbers, farmers, and salesmen played an important role in society. Whatever society needed in goods and services, vocational students could deliver. work classes 107 Martha Hill Kathy Hinds , Teri Hinson Debbie Hipple Mark Hoelscher Kelly Holligar Lane Honeycutt Joy Hopkins Anthony Howard Tran Hung Victor Hunter Dewayne Hyatt Michael Iselt Nathan lsraeloft Ladd James Jackie Janecka David Jesus Charles Johnson Kim Johnson Tamara Johnson Janice Jones Monte Jones Patrick Jorgensen Karla Kerlin fs ,, , .

Rhona Cross takes a break with her steer Cody, In Agriculture ou didn't have to wear boots, hats, and tight pants to be in Ag. Students of all kinds worked every afternoon raising, feeding, and caring for many kinds of animals. Chickens, lambs, pigs, and calves were exercised by dedicated people. Under the hot sun or in icy cold, the animals were well taken care ot. On the third Tuesday of each month, the members handed over hard-earned money tor dues and discussed general business. The first year in Ag meant learning about different breeds ot live- stock such as cattle, horses, pigs and chickens, Second and third year students were taught the reproductive system and respiratory system of the above animals. Members raise animals, learn leadership and help others as well as themselves, said President Thad Clayton. A lot ot dedicated stu- dents went out to the Ag farm every afternoon to feed, doctor, and take care ot their animals. Freshmen Sandy Elliot and Karen Hess competed with others with their livestock. Sandy walked, fed, and exercised her calf just about every day, come rain or shine. Karen Hess took care of her pigs and junior Lyndon Domel cared for his lamb out on the Ag farm. Rick Lattimer, Martin I.. Jackson, Rita Conner, and Mark Lawless worked hard and received the State Farmer Degree. This was KOKE fp --1 awarded on a local level. Requirements were one year of Ag, a 15 minute speech and 50 dollars profit on a production project. Ag Coop required a job oriented in Agriculture. Jackie Tho- net, a first year student, held down a job at Hobby Horse Sta- bles. She exercised horses, saddled and bridled them, and some- times taught beginner classes. It wasn't exactly easy work. She had to keep a record of what she did and write a summary of it. But she got nine credits in a year, and decided definitely to go into training horses after graduation. Thirteen guys were in the two hour Ag Mechanics class, a free employment laboratory training program. The guys sat and took notes in a classroom. Then they adjourned to work in the Ag shop. They welded, learned about electricity, and worked on car engines. And they, along with Ag Coop and Vocational Agriculture, grew every year. People learned leadership and responsibility. They cared for and competed with their animals, kept books, and just plain worked hard. Ag covered everything from chickens to car partsg it was a comprehensive program. Some would drop it after high school.

Gregg was in charge of the cleaning supplies aisle. On Sales and Service istributive Education might have been the most practical of all vocational programs. No other program offered such a wide field of job training, Coach Joe Cole could instruct a girl selling make-up at BealI's, or a boy selling cameras at Gibsonsg you could be sure he had put those students a giant step ahead ofthe other employees. Valerie Turnbow was a good example of this. An employee at Leon's and a Sales and Marketing Executive Club member, she won the sales demonstration title in area contest. Gregg Boyd, employed by Foodland, not only won an area title, but also made State Finalist in the Food and Marketing category. Tom Chenaull at Texas Cam- era won salesman of the year in Austin and a S100 prize. Mr. Cole led an active DE program with a steady hand. Coach had a personal relationship with his students, which probably accounted for their doing so well. At the beginning of the year, he asked for 10O per cent of everybody - and that's what he got. You could find DE people everywhere. Mike Aleman, Debbie Myers, and Jamie Galloway worked at Handy Andy, and Terrie Kos- toft and Pam Johnson at Sage. A switch from department and gro- cery stores, Bob Hays worked at the Bergstrom A.F.B, commissary. Like most programs, DE had restrictions. You had to be sixteen, a junior or senior, able to maintain a C average, and be able to pro- vide your own transportation. Since DE not only offered sales jobs, but also a few office and advertising jobs, typing, bookkeeping, and drafting were recommended. Every first and third Wednesday, DECA met and voted on issues like what to do with the club treasury, The money was rarely spent for their own benefit. One idea was to donate everything to the cancer fund to help buy a kidney machine. DECA also sponsored employer-student breakfasts and usually put up their Christmas tree before anybody else. Other civic activities, social events, and leadership labs aided in the development of Vocational understanding, civic consciousness, social intelligence and leadership. HECE was a providing program. It provided opportunities in service jobs, from cooking hamburgers at McDonaId's to changing diapers at Garden Child Center. HECE provided fellow- ship between its students and the outside community, whether it was a party at a nursing home or a city-wide HECE get-together. To be in HECE, you had to hold a service job related to home economics, like food or cloth service or human relations. President Dave Simmons specialized in selling Scandinavian furniture and gifts at Shop Skandinavia. Vice-President Bruce Akroyd, Tammy Murray, and Bradley Shefferley helped sell those 21 billion ham- burgers at McDonald's. Tricia Moore and Willie McKinney served by taking care of people - Tricia worked with children at Hyde Park Baptist Child Development Center, and Willie worked with grown-ups at St. David's Hospital. Outside of their jobs, HECE students also served the community. FHA-HERO, HECE's affiliated club, sponsored a Christmas party at Four Seasons Nursing Center, and a coffee for the Lanier faculty. Each individual adopted an aged person to cheer throughout the year, HECE had a recreation side, too. Several off-campus breakfast meetings were held, including a special Christmas breakfast. After recruiting students for next year, HECE held a Bar-B-Q for its incoming members. de and hece 113 ,g.-9-U ,- --3345 QE' A Bruce Markert Randy Marsha!!

Sharon was a receptionist at Northwest Clinic. l With People in Programs t could have been a beauty salon, but there were too many girls, too much chatter. The atmosphere was just right, though, for the Cosme- tology room at Lanier, Many of the heads set up in front ot the mir- rors were just mannequinsq a tew were customers who liked the low prices. The girls shampooed, set, out and frosted hair. Paying customers and kids from the Austin State School also received manicures or scalp treatments. Senior Jamie Miner got interested back in eighth grade, when she had to do hair treatments with mannequins. She decided to work in a beauty shop fora year and then attend college, Joelle Cruz knew some beauticians and was just interested in cosmetology. After graduation, she will get her license to cut hair, then apply for jobs at beauty salons and work her way up from shampoo girl to head honcho Joelle mainly wanted to do facials and cut hair. The club was really a close knit group considering that girls all over the city attended Lanier for the program. The 23 girls were like a family and very close to Mrs. Wagner. They had to have good attendance and register with the Cosmetology Commission to carry out Mrs. Wagners hard, fast rules. The students hadto take biology and physical science classes. There was a future in Cosmetology for most ol the graduating girls. eeting people and learning to work with them, taking care ot responsibilities and problems that arose was a job within the job in VOE. To participate in VOE, students first learned typ- ing, bookkeeping and shorthand skills in addition to their required courses. Ben Crizzard, who worked at Statco as a keypunch operator, got a head start in the expanding computer job market. Sharon Mills combined book- keeping and receptionist work at the Northwest Clinic for five doctors. Sometimes it got pretty hectic, but usually I like it, she said. Terri Patter- son clerked at the State Board of Nursing Examiners and also helped out with the general office work. Students also took their talents to contest. Cheryl Wehmeyer, Donna Wil- dey, Diane Loftis and Janet McGuire placed at Area in Bound Bock and the whole VOE club went as voting delegates to State at Ft. Worth and National in Houston Four officers attended Youth Leadership Conference October 16, and on February 8, employers got together for the Employer-Employee Banquet. lt was a city-wide function and over BOO people attended. Other projects included socials and fund raising at which they made over S1000 by selling Christmas kits and candy. voe and cosmetology 1 15 Vic Mcwherter Angie Mead 41: Rosie Meza 2 t 9 Ronnie Miertshin Ronald Miller Sandy Miller qi x Laurie Mitchell - . ..c Shaheed M VN Mohammed Y' ' - 1 Dona Montague 'A - .. -J,,..s Q., A ,it' f 5wf'35f aa, i t -34. -I .2 xi Q-5 wi ' If! :- It 0 5 X. l - S i I X' an g A .

She also stocked and arranged shelves and inventoried goods. 4 Danny Shedd adds oil to the grinder he is operating to make precision metal pieces at Astro Mechanics With Specialized ndustrial Cooperative Training meant putting in more hours working as a mechanic, Welder or carpenter than slaving at school, Mr. Miller pushed good grades, good attendance and good behavior for the students in the program, Mark Keeter's task was to be a diesel mechanic, Brett Mann worked as a Welder, Steve O'Brien as an auto electrician, and Wayne lltis acquired skill as a machinist. In Auto Mechanics, work was done in the shop under the supervision of Mr. Fatheree. Students participated in a contest in San Antonio where Randy Mutschink placed third, Billy Payne rebuilt the engine on a '42 model Ford pickup, Gaylon Allis and Skills Gayle Mack overhauled a '69 Buick and Mary Martin and Jay Adle- man rebuilt an engine. CVAE was not for college bound students, and any type job qualitied tor this program. Students attended school half a day and worked half a day, but they earned as many credits as a student with six classes, Henry Hubbard trained to be a keypunch operator at the State Health Department.

We checked out grocer- - ies at Safeway, l-landy-Andy, and Ftylander's, We racked clothes at K-Mart, the Jock Shop, .JC Penney's, and Sage. We stocked merchandise at Winn's, Skillern's, and Eckherd's. We filled popcorn and coke cups at the Fox, Northcross Six, and Village The- atres. That weekly allowance just wasn't enough. Five dollars didn't cover the cost of SONY stereo equipment or a new pair ol gauchos from Scarbroughs. It wouldn't even buy a bottle ol Cachet Perfume or a pair of Famolares from Kinney's. When a friend celebrated her sixteenth birthday, mom and dad snarled when we asked for a loan to buy her a friendship ring. We felt lett out when the gang decided to go to Gatti's. Remembering the cost of a future in college made it a little easier to say no and stay home nibbling on a cold sandwich. With a growing inflation and high cost ol living, some ol us had to lend a hand in the bread winning aspect ot family Iile. When we got out into the world to find a job, we learned friend- ship was more than a casual acquaintance. Terry Johns said, Kim Guyer told me J. Rich in Northcross had a sign on their window say- ing they needed help, So I went and applied. They called me a cou- ple ot weeks later to come to work. Mom and dad were an asset to the cause and were usually willing to help. They'd known the manager of the grocery store down the street all of his life and had traded at that store ever since it opened. Besides, they were happy to know they wouldn't have to worry about keeping small change for lunch money anymore, Sometimes our counselors could help us out, If a local business was in need of ' ' h I. A a last resort, we part time workers, they d contact the sc oo s bought the evening paper and searched the Classified Ads daily.

Some of us questioned the value and importance of the dollar bill. Those afternoons we used to shop with friends, or court a tennis match were now spent working ten to thirty hours weekly. Weekends the family skiied at the lake, we worked an eight hour Saturday shift and an afternoon Sunday shift. We learned to manage our time wisely and compromise when necessary. We invented new study techniques, lf the store closed late Thursday night, we discovered chemistry, calculus, and a cold bowl of cereal made a perfect Friday 6 AM breakfast. We realized studying for the American History test was far more important than watching Starsky and Hutch or All in the Family. Breakrooms made good study areas when we went on break or lunch hour. There was just enough time to finish Algebra homework or work on a journalism story. lt took a while readjusting to ever- changing schedules, but it was something that came with experience. For some of us, the spare-time jobs didn't put pressure on our duties and responsibilities. Scott Zaleski ushered part-time to the Northcross Six Theatres. I have plenty of time to get in all of my homework and I have enough time left to do things I enjoy doing. We may not have realized it at the time, but our jobs were training us for the future. At times, we would have been more than happy to quitg but somehow we learned to cope with unthinkable working conditions, We never thought the lady who complained about get- ting only half of a green stamp or wanting five ones when we were down to our last two was training us for anything in any way. When the boss asked us to punch in early or take thirty minutes instead of the usual hour tor lunch, we didn't see it as a learning experience to compromise with demands. But no matter how many hassles we faced or how discouraged we became, our jobs taught us what we needed to knowg how to get along in the world where you have to work for a living.

People made friends and shared ideas in an interesting and enjoyable way. Municipal Auditorium hosted a dance and general sessions. The Lanier Orchestra, Choir, and Vik- ettes entertained at different stages of the convention. Chris Fair- man headed the TASC committee, which finalized the details, such as packets for the visiting student council members and sponsors. Hosting a state convention was a great way to lose weight, hair, and your mind. l felt really good about the way it turned out. The majority of kids worked really hard, said sponsor David Linscomb. Planning and execution of Homecoming Week utilized much of the spare time of the council members. Annual Projects chairman 3 Student council members from all over Texas meet and mingle during a coke break in our courtyard. Discussion groups and problem clinics were held in the classrooms at Lanier. 4 Sophomore David Sweet helps sweep up the courtyard before the TASC convention. David was a cooperative and diligent worker in the council. Greg Johnson contacted Gil Garcia, KNOW's disc jockey, who made the dance come alive with the top 40 hits, country-west- ern music, and slow-dancing songs. Elections chairman Robert Brock, with the help of Jina Casey, spent much of their time running off ballots for the Homecoming Queen and her court and Mr, Esquire. A few truly dedicated members spent from sixth period right up to the dance setting up plants and hanging the stars, mirror light ball, and trellis. Dedicated officers thought up most of the fund-raising activities, such as the mock fashion show assembly, where Brad Cone, David Richards, Brad Tierney, Gary Becker, Mike Davila, and Student student council 123 Cllftord Scott Joel Seaman Deborah See Jackle Seller Suzanne Severn Ftatph Sharp Connle Jo Sharpe Eno Shephard Hank Sherrlll Kevln Shuter Gln Slkes Llsa Stndermann Sandy Slavens Gary Slusser Joe Small Sonja Smaltwood Kelth Smlth Pamela Smath Steve Smrth Glna Spada Sandy Sparger Imogene Spears Becky Splars Sharon Stahler ev' q-1 .as's X 'Z -'r Y vm me rm 5 Q- is-1? ,QQ 1 Q- vm V- 're tx! .f 124 student councrlfhuman relatronsfsophomores . - M X, e N , U A , v a ' 1 g it Q ' I ' ' .

Students from countries such as France, Greece, South Africa, New Zealand, and Turkey accompanied the student councils from host schools. Once every other week, members met to discuss student involve- ment, and tried to find ways to promote better relations between student-student, and student-faculty. The basic weakness is that no one is really concerned about tri-ethnic conflicts and problems, said sponsor Mr. Cook. A better understanding between people ot all races as individuals is a chief concern of President Hershel Pleasant, Vice-President Joelle Cruz, Secretary B. J. Phillips, and Treasurer Denise Moya. HB. J. is one of the most active members, said Mr. Cook.

The Key Club was a new service organization. An end ofthe year party gave prospective members a chance to discover what the clubs purpose was. ln January, Lanier added a brand new club to its list of organ- izations, AFS, American Field Service. Although this chapter is an original to Lanier, its global efforts have been around since World War l.

The cost for a year in another country is about 352,000 All the members had a fun but hectic time raising the funds through a weekly Penny Wednesday, a Talent Show, talent show assembly and selling buttons, The talent show was a large success - with president Ann Bar- ger working hard with publicity, chairperson Ann McCaffrey, and treasurer Jeff Hope to get judges and talent. The Anderson and San Antonio clubs were invited, and they brought their exchange stu- dents, A highlight in the show was a Japanese girl from Austin High who sang a Japanese song. We didn't JUST pick up trash! Ecology Club fought for our environment and encouraged others to make this a cleaner world. In our struggle we learned to be aware of our surroundings, the harm of trash and pollutants as well as the beauty of a sunrise or a playful squirrel. With the guiding leadership and determination of our sponsor, 4 To stan Earth Week off right, Ecology Club officers, Robbie Garland, Rose Borel, Debbie Rodgers, and sponsor Ms. Cooke present Principal Rodger Vthley with a cake bearing the Ecology flag. Earth Week was a fun time to make people aware of environmental problems and solutions. 5 Ann Barger, president of AFS, requests a one hundred dollar loan from the Student Council to buy a button machine for a fund raising project. As a new club, AFS was trying to raise S850 to bring a foreign exchange student to Lanier. Ms. Diane Cooke, who taught us not give upg we learned to work hard to better the environment, And we DID work hard, volunteering our time at the Ecology Action Recycling Center, working with the animals of the Humane Society and getting petitions signed to stop the slaughter of the baby harp seals in Canada. The main purpose of the club in being aware, and making others aware of just how important the care of our environment really is, said President Rose Borel. During Earthweek, we put our greatest effort into bringing the attention of Lanier to problems and rewarding experiences of our environment. We started with a campus clean-up, presented Mr, Wiley a cake bearing the Ecology flag in icing, and gave cupcakes to teachers. There was a display inthe library. Students and faculty were urged to ricle bikes, walk or car pool. The JETS won 2520 in a paper drive contest in the rain. We ended the week with a campout at Pedernallas Falls State Park, where we swam, built sand castles and roasted hot dogs under the stars. ln setting up tents, what began as the battle of the sexes ended up a unified group telling jokes and ghost stories. key, afs 81 ecology 127 Mark Warren Cindy Waters Dean Watson Maria Watt Deneice Wehring James White James P.

To help other environmental groups and concerned citizens buy the Wild Basin, a preserved wilderness area, we had bake sales and sold candy, Tupperware and litter bags. Our nature hike took us to Bastrop State Park where we were exposed to Nature's peace. Every Tuesday the Ecology flag was flown as a reminder of the weekly paper drive. On weekends, we gathered for campus clean-ups. After our labor, we refreshed our- selves with trosted rootbeers at ASW. We realized our efforts were not in vain. Our love, care and understanding of the natural environment would not end with the closing of the school year, but live on with us forever. The objective was to be a doctor, nurse, paramedic or any job connected with health services. The Paramedical Club encouraged students and gave a better understanding ot health care. Dentists, physicians, and nurses visited the club to teach. First quarter President was David Yero and second and third was Lisa Duet. Field trips taken were to an emergency care center, a paramedical station, and to a model city clinic. The club didn't just work for themselves. They held fund-raising loring Careers ff- K -X 4n'1! -'L 4 Future teacher Laurie Sherrill explains a social studies lesson to a group of bright and eager elementary kids, Laurie was sometimes on her own to supervise a class while the regular teacher was out. 5 Paramedical club members Elaine and Lisa Duet, Lisa Sindermann and Dwayne Price take advantage ot a sunny afternoon to wash cars as a money-making project. The club donated money to various medical research organizations. activities for other organizations, They sold Homecoming mums, had a carwash and contributed 5532 to Muscular Dystrophy, A Christmas party was held for the State School for the Blind. Ottering their services to the school, Mr. McCarty and a group ot drafting students formed a new club, JETS. The Junior Engineering Technical Society of Lanier provided the opportunity for students interested in engineering to apply their talents to spe- cific areas that only they could handle. NHS commissioned JETS to make a sign that had the school fight song on it. For the counselors and principals, the club made nameplates. They also drafted and constructed the Vikettes' com- posite. They designed the maps used by the student council. To raise money, they had a paper drive and an assembly with a guest speaker to get students interested in engineering. Learning about teaching was the major purpose of the Future Teachers ol America QFTAJ and the Teacher Experience Pro- gram QTEPJ. Sponsor and teacher of the program, Ms. Dolman, stressed the importance of learning what the teaching profession is all about before its members made final decisions to pursue it as a career. With a fluctuating average membership of nine, this busy, hard- working, fun-loving group believed in community service projects, giving Christmas baskets to needy families and sponsoring an Easter party for the mentally retarded citizens of the Austin State School. They raised funds through candy and bake sales and enhanced their own learning experience through films and speak- ers like Ms. Williams Cteacher of the monthj and Mr. Wiley. President Dot Barger, Vice President Jamie Burton, and Treasurer Laura Johnson attended a district officers training program in San Marcos, Each morning at 8:00 students reported to assignments at Wool- dridge, St, Louis, and Cook to help elementary teachers as aides, tutors, and sometimes supervisors.

Each quarter after scheduling, groups met by stairs or benches or corners or posts to discuss courses, rooms, classes and teachers. Above the din of re-assigned lockers slamming and delighted or dejected classmates calling to each other, we scrutinized the names' ot the tive or six people who would have control over our tired bodies and worn-out minds tor the next 12 weeks. Choruses oi groans greeted favorites like Taylor and Hilsabeck while so-called easy teachers were welcomed with joy. We were basically lazy. We possessed the abilities to do well, but sometimes we needed prodding to get started. The teachers who taught us the most were those who tried to teach us something at all. Each had his own way of urging us along the steep path of edu- cation. Some teachers taught by lecturing. Mr. Hilsabeck, a college pro- fessor in his spare time, believed firmly in the value of lectures. Many ot his students, while they might not love him, agreed and appreciated his style for college preparation. You really learned to stay awake and take down everything he said. with discussions between students and teacher, Mrs. Boren led her classes through the tangles ot Basic Usage and made even Nonliction seem interesting by getting us involved. She pushed us toward thinking on our own and allowed us to have our own opinions. In math, neither lecturing nor discussing could succeed alone. Department chairman lvlrs. Teel realized this and struck a happy medium in her classes. She neither force-fed nor ignored her classes, but with challenging verbal battles, she made concepts like vector spaces and logarithms almost exciting. Using his quieter manner and gentler tone, Mr. Packwood got responses from stu- dents who withered under Mr. Taylor or shrank from Mrs. Teel. Mr. Porter took advantage of opportunities tor social studies pro- jects and outside assignments. His government classes got involved in city government at the department level by actually talking to offi- cials. He gave classroom work, but he urged involvement in the real things in life, too. His students went to court, went to jail, re- zoned voting districts, and saw city council action. He pre- pared us to be active, informed participants in our government. That kind of useful preparation was evew teacher's goal. They suited their style of presentation to their students and subject mat- ter, ending ultimately with an active environment where we could learn and grow. teachers as teachers 131 Sharon Worden Gay Wucher Pat Wysocki Joy Young George Yuia Nancy Zacco Philip Zurouetz Michelle Abbott Brett Adams Kerry Adkrsson Yvonne Aguire Mellrsa Aleman JoAnne Almanza James Alvarado Lori Anderson Rosemary Anderson Kerrie Antilley Craig Archer Kim Armstrong Stefan Arnold Karen Artus Cathy Ayres Phillip Baker Terri Baker 132 teachers as dedicated , . 11.

They had human frailties, just like us. When we came to school with a cold or flu, they often caught it, too. Sometimes they even dropped out for a few weeks or a quarter with serious illness, or family troubles. Most of the time, teachers were hearty, active individuals who pursued their interests and had fun just like us. Barry Crist played City League Basketball and softball, wrote poetry and played a few rounds of poker in the time he had left. At home his attention was on his 14 month old daughter, Kathleen. He liked to take her picnicing. Mr. Edwards loved snapping pictures for photography. He also backpacked, fished, canoed, jogged and worked in his garden.

Teachers were glad when finals were over and school let out. They prayed for Fridays too. So if you saw them at the lake on Sat- urdays, you shouldn't have been too surprised.

Elected school board members had the final decision con- cerning tunds and budgets, school facilities, and curriculum. They appropriated money for renovation ot school buildings when necessary, built new educational and athletic facilities such as the Toney Burger Athletic Center, and decided exactly what courses would be offered to us each quarter. They tried to meet the public demands. At one particular meeting, parents, teachers, and Lanier soccer players petitioned for a school-sponsored soccer program. They performed other duties besides handling controversial issues such as desegregation, boundary lines, and appropriations. The board also recognized outstanding students Terri Tallas, Bret Beckner, and Mark Billingsley, all-state band and choir members, and '76 Viking yearbook editors Bayeanne Campbell, Susan Morri- son, Flora Choate, and Theresa Gage. We learned about administrative power more directly through our new principal, Mr. Rodger T. Wiley. With years of experience as O'Henry Junior High principal, Mr. Wiley quietly and confidently made changes in our lives. He curtailed skipping and tardiness with the new permit-obtaining system. Students went to the attendance office for permits to enter class, enabling them to get to class sooner. The office streamlined schedule changes, and registration began to move more efficiently. Student discontent and teacher satisfaction accompanied the pep rally move from before school to the afternoon. Classes ran more smoothly during the day, but attendance and spirit decreased. He said, Athletics should be kept separate from school. After an earling morning pep rally, he felt the enthusiasm dwindled by game time. Some transformations took place even before he arrived. Through his orders, the building received a gigantic faceIift. Fresh coats of gold and white paint were applied to our weather-beaten walls. Even the much-abused lockers were effec- tively scrubbed and painted. He was greatly disturbed by the students' indifferent attitude about debris. The one thing l wish we could change is the student attitude towards garbage. We need to get people to have pride in the way their school ground looks. All the school reflects that.

While Americans survived the Bicentennial hang-over, countries like Angola, Lebanon, and lrelancl suf- fered from civil strife. South Africans demanded a black majority rule over a white minority government under Rhodesian Prime Min- ister lan Smith. Lebanese Christians protested the endless war between Palestinian and lsraeli troops. The everlasting Arab-Israeli conflict continued with the raid on Entebbe. With the death of Helmsman Mao Tse-lung, the 82 year old Marxist who ruled Red China for three decades, the country faced the problems of adapt- ing to a new leadership under Chairman Hua Kuo-feng. At home, the worst civil strife Americans faced was the question of who our 39th president would be. The experienced incumbent, Gerald Ford, lost to a liberal grassroots peanut farmer, Jimmy Car- ter, former governor of Georgia. Natural disasters struck countries worldwide. Earthquakes devas- tated villages in Turkey, Italy, the Philippines, New Guinea, Guate- mala, and Tangshan, China, with casualties surpassing the worst natural disasters in history. The U.S. survived a severe winter. The West Coast and Midwestern states suffered from drought, browning wheat and maize crops. As a major food producer, America cap- tured worldwide attention of countries depending on U.S. farm- ers for their well-being. The East Coast struggled through a winter of blizzards followed by a spring of floods. Scientists speculated that earth was experiencing the preliminary states of an lce Age. Ameri- cans began to realize the Energy Crisis was not just an excuse for oil companies to raise prices. Congressional studies and proposals were set up to find an answer to the Energy Crunch. Women furthered their liberation movement with the growing popularity of ERA. Young women were admitted to naval academies in spite of countless objections by generals against co-ed cam- puses.

The Postcard on 23rd Street and the Drag offered vendors selling everything from intricate jade or turquoise jewelry to brightly embroidered clothing while flutes and guitars sounded softly in the background. Museums and galleries were around everywhere and the LaGuna Gloria Art Festival with its booths filled with all sorts of goodies was fun for everyone. A favorite for budget-wise browsers was the Starving Artists show. Delicate silver-wire sculptures and bright, paint splashed canvas, all for under 310. Art could help us get out of a bad mood and into a good one. lt helped us express ourselves when words weren't enough and it proved we had culture. Whether you were buying or selling or just looking, arts and crafts were fun. 1 Although a year late, Laura Johnson embroi- ders a cross stitch design for the Bicentennial.

Hours of practice and blocking directions, and tons of prop and costume construction were routine with every production. But it all added up to the polished look so typical of Lanier's plays. This season opened with Woody Allen's comedy Don't Drink the Water starring Heather Hielscher, John Barger and Richard Petty. Next on the bill was the Winter Showcase, five one act plays: Guilty Generation, John Turner Davis, Crows, Winners, and Old Lady Shows Her Medals. The final major production was William Shakespeare's 'tMerry Wives of Windsor. As the play was reset in 1896, the crew created a Gay 9O's atmosphere with elaborate costumes and props. Lanier won't have a production like that again for a long time, said Donna Storey. At U.l.L. district competition, Laura Sargologos won All-Star Cast, and John Barger, Christina Dahlberg and Donna Storey won Honorable Mention. The production won Zone contest, where John Barger won Best Actor, and Laura Sargologos once again made All-Star Cast. Pat Blashill, Kenny Scheer and Christina Dahlberg received Honorable Mention. The drama department didn't compete at Area, therefore the senior cast members were able to go to the prom, Rusty Fuller said the experience of being on stage made him more open, and helped in his classes. ln English, Rusty memorized and dramatized twenty lines of Shakespeare. The act earned him a round of applause and a good grade. For Mr. Foard, this year was a rewarding and fulfilling year. The cast's reward was obvious.

But with talent, hard research, organization and practice, Chris Fairman-James Starr and Roberto Corrada-Tracy Hester advanced to at least semi-finals in every contest. They learned about debate from each other and on their own. They learned how to do research, structure their thinking and speak persuasively in front of judges and audience. For the first few times you get up and debate, you get really nervous and can't speak. You have to learn to speak olf the top of your head and think logically, said Tracy. Contest results proved that all the time they spent researching and organizing facts, index cards and flow charts was worth the time consumed, At San Antonio Churchill, novices Corrada-l-tester took second place, and Starr-Fairman placed first in cross-examination. Corrada-l-tester placed first at Texas Lutheran College, while Fairman-Starr achieved second place at Corpus Christi King, Competing with students from all over the country at the University of Pittsburgh, Fairman-Starr earned fourth place. Chris Fairman is the best extemporaneous speaker in the state, agreed Roberto Corrada and Tracy Hester. Talent and skill is what really makes a great debater. 1 Chris Fairman supplements James Starr's information with more ideas and facts.

But with experienced writers returning from the year before, we set our sights on another Viking Yearbook of champion quality. We juggled our time and priorities to stay after school and on weekends, writing and rewriting copy, finishing up cutlines, checking cropping and editing quad-paks. We knew that the more time we spent on it, the better the book could be. We stuck together through thick and thin. With Mr. Edwards catching pneumonia in March, we started to worry, But instead of holding up production, we reorganized into a traditional staff, shifting responsibilities to Flora Choate and Theresa Gage, Editor and Managing Editor. Paula Thiede carried the load of Copy Editor and Academics Editor and Leslie Marshall organized clubs. Our goal was always there, but the day to day struggle and our relationships with each other were what counted. We responded to each other as co-workers and friends, Helping each other with an obstacle in some copy or in our personal lite was par for the course, The potpourri ot personalities flavored the atmosphere of long hours and deadline tension.

This was our year for trying new things. Our full color opening introduced the rest of the book with a flair. To illustrate our theme more effectively, we reorganized the book, mixing organizations, honors, and performances into types of learning experiences. Yearbook was our learning experience. Learning to surpass some of our past limits and to accept others, and to get along with other types of people under pressure to get something done.

We sweated over descriptive essays, trying in our own poor way to capture the beauty of Thoreau. But it became easier as we went along. For some. Creative Writing, Paragraph Writing, Writing Day to Day, and Journalism English electives provided a new mode of expression. Creative writing classes provided an outlet for emotions. They helped us to become aware ol feelings, to find symbols for them, then to tell about them. Janet tvlcGuire caught on and excelled, getting several poems and a short story published in SKALDS. Jill Williamson, Kenneth Lange, and Cindy Hawthorne learned the value of writing as a tool for communication in their Creative Writing class. ln Journalism classes like introduction to Reporting and Yearbook, students learned to interview subjects and received an intensive course in organization. Brevity, coming directly to the point, was encouraged strongly. As our emotional and critical analysis abilities improved, so did our ability to express ourselves. Writing became a useful tool for thinking. Eager writers submitted their cherished samples ol literary struggle to SKALDS, fearing criticism, but hoping for publication. Sometimes we accepted their labor, sometimes we rejected it. but no matter what, we learned. Writers had to accept the judgement of the group. Suggestions were given and sometimes incorporated into the stories which could then be published. Writers improved their style, and members improved their criticisms. Besides learning to criticize, the club members recognized styles and ideas popular with student writers. From hatred to love, rejection and sadness to war, pollution, and religion, even school life, everything appeared in the creative writings of students. We began to accept and learn from others' opinions. 5 Valerie Franklin industriously wields her nimble lingers over the keyboard as she types stories for SKALDS.

And it paid otf when they made sweepstakes. Really dedicated choir members worked after school, and on weekends. Some members like Cathy Carter gave up all their school responsibilities to make the most ot their music. Mr. Gifford was a really outstanding director, he loved us and we loved him in return, Cathy said. A Cappella gave Cathy self-confidence at contest performances.

She learned this routine in New York City from Linda Gache, a professional dance teacher. ime kept on slipping into the future. . .with summer practice, football season, contest, and spring show the year flew by. Tennis shoes wore out, costumes were cast aside, standing ovations died down, bruises faded and the year was gone almost before we knew it. But timeless memories, and the important personal qualities we learned would always endure. Self-discipline, patience, responsibility, and respect for ourselves and others would remain in our characters throughout our lifetimes. On August 2, we began a camp, taught by professional dancer, Linda Gache. Nothing will teach you humility faster than watching a professional dance gracefully through a dance, while you stumble along behind her. That was a fun week and it inspired us to make this year one to remember. After that first week in August came the tedious practice for that first football game. The first performance ever for new Vikettes. Suddenly they had to worry about yardlines, hash marks, and making circles, while melting in 95 degree heat. We learned how to give constructive criticism and how to accept it gracefully. We came to believe in a very worn-out expression, Practice makes perfect, and one thing we all had in common was that desire lor perfection. Football season finally came along with the rain. So many half-time shows were rained out we almost forgot how to perform. At those few dry games the Vikettes performed routines like the Boa and the Checkerboard, becoming the first dance team in Austin ever to tap dance on a football field. Football season was only the beginning . . . To learn and perfect three contest routines takes many long and hard night time practices. During this time we really came to appreciate our officers, as individuals and as a group. For three of them this was their second year to be an officer. Their experience helped them teach us and put the polish on new routines. The drive for perfection was most noticeable in captain, Diana Wheeler. vlkettes 167 l Leslee Roberts puts her heart and soul lnlo Luorlle durrng the Sprrng Show Leslee was the only rumor olllcer Timeless Memories 2 Frrst Lieutenant wrth Honors.

Rene Jennings, first lieutenant, admired for her dancing, was always willing to work with you, no matter how slow you were to catch on. The word patient described first lieutenant Paula Moore She always had a smile when she danced, She really showed us how to move when it was time to Boogiel Our two new officers were second lieutenants Jan Jay and Leslee Roberts, They taught us many of the new tap steps for contests. Their quiet leadership gained them the respect and admiration of the entire group. The hard work and dedication of everyone paid off when we won top honors at both ofthe contests we went to this year. One person was responsible for all the awards Vikettes have ever won. She worked harder- making up routines at home, spent longer hours - staying at school until 2,00 am. fixing the set for the Spring Show, and worried more about Vikettes than anyone else. Every Vikette comes to admire Gayla King, She inspires us not only to become a better drill team, but better individuals. Mrs. King taught us by examples. l-ler patience seemed to have no limit, and when she got edgy, she was the first one to apologize, She loved us in spite of our many faults and felt responsible for us, In turn she tried to teach us to be patient, loving, and responsible women, During her years as the vikettes' sponsor, Mrs. King has come up with some spectacular routines, but this year she outdid herself with the Spring Show, Time Keeps on Slippin. . The show presented many possibilities for what our future could hold for us. Some nervous moments over the lighting and special effects, were solved, and all three performances were done in a packed gym. Performing the show for three nights was exhausting. But come show time, as we laughed with the audience during Lucille and Bugs and saw them come to their feet applauding atter the Chair and Ladder routines, our exhaustion slipped away. l-taving a successful show, and winning awards at contest are rewarding experiences, But more fulfilling than this is bringing happiness to those around you, ln Vikettes our goal is to reach out and touch other people's lives and try to make our future world a better one. vikettes 169 Denise Moya Mike Nance Gngn Nelson Larry Neu Katie Newbury Cnrlsty Newton Bonnre Nguyen Johnetia Norris Buddy Novak Mauro Grcesn Candy Owens Scoit Nenring 170 cheerleaders freshmen ainting signs, making keychains, selling doughnuts, and just being Gold Blooded took much time, energy, and dedication from our cheerleaders. It's not what cheerleading does tor you but what you do for cheerleading, explained head cheerleader Becky Novak, the only second year cheerleader. Practice for these four junior and tour senior girls started last year the week after the spring elections and continued daily summer and tall. They attended SMU summer camp and brought back two excellent and two superior ribbons. They won the spirit stick the tirst night there. The cheerleaders felt that the school unity and spirit was not very good this year. They blamed it on us when there was no school spiritg yet we tried new things and new aspects and still no response, said junior cheerleader Lisa King. One thing they tried was a reusable canvas crash sign that cost 3100. They sold candles and doughnuts and had a garage sale to raise funds for the year. The Killeen game was the most spirited this year, For an out of town game, it was great. With a season record of 3-1-5, the cheerleaders had their ups and downs along with the players. Some games it seemed the fans yelled louder for halftime performances than for the game itself. The cheerleaders learned to keep the spirit up by working together. Working to keep the freshman spirit up were Janet Turner, Melissa Aleman, Kerrie Kraft, Sharon Blincoe, Terri Petru, Marianna Hamilton, Louria Daniels, and Allayne Taylor. At some games, they outnumbered the fans. And they sounded like a whole crowd cheering the football team to a second place finish and basketball to an undefeated first. 1 Seated ll-rj: Kelley King, Carolyn Arnold, Standing: Gretchen Lingo, Julie Vanak, Lois Bettcher, Stella Villanueva, Becky Novak, Lisa King. 2 First row fl-rj: Sharon Blincoe.

We played team sports in class for form as well as exercise. e didn't realize the countless calories we burned off while exercising taught us something about life. But it was a big part of life. The games we played, the PE classes we chose, the varsity sports we competed in prepared us for the future. We were growing, identifying qualities we had to know to make it through life. Our desire to compete showed others we wanted to succeedg we wanted to be the best! We learned the basic physical exercises and calisthenics like sit-ups, push-ups, and squat-thrusts to build strong muscles, loosen tendons and to keep the body in shape. We were taught the rules about foot faults in tennis, three second lane violations in basketball, and clipping in football. We developed physical techniques like a badminton smash, a bowling delivery, and a tap dance shuffle- ball change, In developing our skills, we learned self-discipline in both mind and body. Successful playing required a concentrated mind and full physical effort. As we mastered the skills, we learned strategy and psyche. We perceived the distance the ball would carry, the amount of time needed to steal second base, or how well our opponent could return our spin serve. Playing on teams, we learned to share the work load and the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Sportsmanship helped us take defeat with less severity and pain. We could be graceful winners and graceful losers. We played by the rules, abided by the regulations, developed our skill and strategy without knowing it gave us healthy minds and bodies. Physical Education was one of the most diverse courses in high school, ranging from flag football, to gymnastics, to swimming. Yet, it followed a specific curricular pattern just like math, English, foreign language, or any other academic course, Level one taught us basic rules, regulations, and skills. Strategy and techniques reinforced our talents and abilities in level two. A third quarter fine tuned our skills and strategy and taught us how to win by psyching out our opponents We jumped rope, ran miles for time. flexed for bar-hangs, and performed general calisthenics in Orientation to Physical Education.

We danced beginners' steps and headed to fame and fortune as Gene Kelly ll. Playing new games everyday, Recreational Games broadened our skills and techniques for various sports, from tetherball to ping pong. We hooked shots in a second quarter of basketball. We slugged the ball into left field to make a homerun in softball. We organized plays and faked passes in Football Two. In third level advanced courses we developed our own styles. Smashing an unreturnable birdie took a little more than just plopplng it over a badminton net. Knowing special strides and breathing exercises helped track stars run continuous miles without overworklng calves and lungs. Acing a serve and psyching out our opponent by calling her plays before she made them in tennis required effort, concentration, rationalization, and experience. Learning rules and regulations, developing skills, and strategies, advancing techniques, and competing with others trained us for the games we would play in the future. We used those basioor advanced skills we learned in PE. Whether we knew it or not, exercise was a learning process we experienced everyday. We did it because it was fun. We tackled relatives in family football games and courted friends in Sunday afternoon doubles matches, We called it our hobby. Sailing in the summer sun tanned our bods to a golden brown. Snow skiing tickled our noses while plotting down the Colorado mountains. We labeled it sparetime thrills. We bowled Saturday nights with friends after working eight hour shifts. Sidewalk surfing let the cool spring breeze blow through our hair naturally. Among friends we called it Friday night follies. We went roller and ice skating on dates. We went stag to meet someone to share Friday night fun with. We knew it as physical therapy. We did calisthenics to shape up mind and body. We jogged daily to relax and tone muscles.

Cullum and Boren and Oshmanns wouldnt lose business after graduation, They'd get rich. We'd have more time for exercise we enjoyed. We'd have more interest because we were continuing our learning on our own. We were doing something we wanted to do. After advancing in our specific PE field we were encouraged to try out for varsity sports from football, to swimming. to wrestling. Twenty-six four A offered stiff competition. Nine Austin high schools continued a raving battle for the number one spot in all sports. Everyone worked together in a team effort to be crowned number one. Varsity stakes were greater than running a mile or passing a football in PE class. Hundreds ol fans cheered for us in the rainy, cold loolball season. We packed spectators in the over-heated boys' gym to see a basketball court come alive. The cheering crowd made the challenge of competition worth fighting for, But their high hopes and expectations put pressure on us. We had pushed hard at practice and planned undefeatable plays. Come game time, it was all on the line. We played against people shooting for the same goal. We tried to read the opponents' minds, hoping to counterattack their plan of action. We'd hurriedly seek their weakest point and interpose with our strongest defense. We learned our own playing abilities were measured by how well our opponents put up a fight.

Strong defense and good offensive backs backed up the Viks for 76. The 2-9-1 record does not reflect the power and ability applied on the field. Most of the games show the Vikings separated from their opponents by a few points. Opening season against sixth ranked Killeen was not an easy job, but the Viks took on the Kangaroos in what Coach Novak termed as A Big Test. The first halt the Roos got a run for their money but their double platooning quickly found the Viks' weaknesses, Six Viks played both ways and the humidity helped in making them tired. The battle ended with a 39-6 loss. The next week the Vikings faced another top ranked team. Seguin was just a bigger and stronger team, yet we held them until the last three minutes, said Coach Novak. The Viks lost O-7. The defense played tough all season, finishing fourth in district. The strength shown in the front line made things rough for opponents. Earl Jordon, Steve Haynes, Sam Sanders, Clifton Bell, and David Taveirne played superb defense. On offense, yardage came four or five yards at a time. With few game breaking plays, any mistake could kill a drive. In the backfleld, John Ransom, Bubba Jennings, Ronnie Dawson, and James Jones learned to work together. Mike Thompson and Steve Haynes led the offensive line. David Taveirne, Hayden Stewart, Leslie Brite and Gary Glaspy blocked the way for David Morgan who worked his way up from behind three year lettermen. Quarterback Bubba Jennings moved the ball extremely well for short ground yardage and passed well when the situation called for it. He threw four touchdowns to James Jones before James got injured. Injuries hurt the Viks, who lacked depth at key positions. Many players had to play offense and defense, a tiring job. And inexperienced members had to play against experienced teams. Under these conditions, mistakes caused losses. District opened with a win over Johnston. The Viks seemed to get all the breaks and capitalized on the Rams' fumbles, The 44-O win proved good for the varsity football 181 Injuries Plague Reuben Sanchez James Sanders Jill Sanders David Sands Kelly Saragus Lisa Schafroth Carol Schneider Sandra Schroeder Barbara Schroeder Tracy Scott Todd Seidel Katie Shafford 182 varsity footballffreshmen f EFS? rf.: Q .1 no as 41, I P 'Qu 4 A .

The strong defensive line and backlield played well against Austin l-ligh. They held the publicized Sayers under 100 yards, a feat in itself, but four injuries caused the Viks to physically weaken and lost 13-21. They beat themselves by snapping the ball over the punter's head and tumbling on Austin's 12 yard line, after which the Maroons scored two touchdowns. The next week the Viks faced an old rival, McCallum. Lanier had 19 first downs to Mac's eight. Bonnie Dawson ran a kickoff back and the Vikings played well the last six minutes with two quick drives. The clock ran out with the Viks on the six inch line. Coach Novak attributed the 14- 17 loss to lack of concentration early in the game A O-O tie against Crockett sums up the game well. The football game turned into a muddy battle of who could hang onto the ball the longest. The 7-42 score ofthe Fleagan game doesnt show the fine football played by Lanier. They had a sprinter that ran 9.9 and our fastest man ran 10.41 consequently he scored four touchdowns, said Coach Novak. The halftime score showed the Viks trailed 7-12 with the ball on the two yard line. Neither team scored in the third quarter. The Viks never gave up but they couIdn't catch up. Rain preceded the Anderson grudge match. Once again, every mistake Lanier made worked for Anderson. lt just proves you can't make mistakes, said Coach Novak. Lanier received two points for a safety when they forced the Trojans in a punting situation. Anderson came out on top, defeating the Viks 2-17. LBJ outscored Lanier 14-22, A game in which the Viks gave away a safety and a touchdown to the Jags All the teams in the district were good and we played good, interesting games all season, summed up Coach Novak.

Their first game, against Johnston, was a sgueaker -the Viks winning 8-6. That was a little too close for comfort, so in the next game, they brushed Travis aside and won again 12-O. The next two games helped the trosh boost their record to the 4-0 mark. They eased through the Austin High squad and won 16-6, but the McCallum Knights weren't so easy. That was our worst game. We weren't up for it and we were pretty lucky to win it, said Lineman Mike Gordon. The score for that game was 22- 15. Wednesday, Cctober 13, was a C-day, but the freshman squad wasn't off. They played hard against a tough Crockett team and tied 6-6. The only loss came against Reagan - the city champs. The early cold front made the going tough for Lanier. The Viks pushed hard through the rain but were still defeated 6-19. For the members of the team from Burnet the sweetest victory was against their junior high cronies that went to Anderson. Viks made a terrific comeback from their previous bout with Reagan, and shamed the Trojans with a 30-8 score. In their last game, they devastated the fierce LBJ Jaguars 36-8, and took away their chances for the 2nd place spot. Freshman cheerleader Melissa Aleman said, l think since we did so good this year, everybody will be more enthusiastic when we get up to Varsity. With outstanding performances this year by players like Pat Maxwell, Mike Perry, Mike Campbell, l-lenry Medel, Rod Bell, Randy Filla, Mike Gordon, Tony Bugg, and lots of others, this shows a lot of potential and promises to be one of the strongest teams Lanier has ever had. Finishing with a 3-4-1 record, junior varsity had an up and down season. They lost to Johnston but came back to win against Travis. With a strong backfield headed by Curtis Chellette, Clay Wade, Kenneth King, and Gregg Matocha the offense moved the ball well all season. Russell Martin, Kenneth Lange and John LaTouf highlighted a defense that continuously stopped opposing offensives. The loss against Austin and win over McCallum followed the lose-win pattern.

The slap of a fist serving the ball resounded through the gym, and the game began. Servers, like freshman Dawn Polley, JV players Stacey Thompson and Lynn Carson, and varsity members Leslie Marshall and Gloria Pierce, started our games with skill and consistent serving. Spikers Tammy Mclnis and Nancy Busboom for freshman, Stacy Pfluger and Becky Bellows for JV, and Jan O'Rear and Brenda l-leimann for varsity, enjoyed sending balls down their opponents' throats. Strong bumpers or all-around good players like Cindy Cain, JV captain, and Cheryl Polley and Cathy Costas, varsity co-captains, provided a solid base for an exciting team. Strong starts marked all the games. We had the skills needed to walk over any team, but sometimes the spirit necessary to carry through faded. As the season progressed, we hit a high at the Austin game on the night of the Homecoming dance and felt despair and loneliness at the disaster of the Canyon, New Braunfels, tournament. But we bounced back from this extreme low, after discussing our problems and renewing our dedication. We learned the value of communication and realized that without teamwork, dedication, and togetherness, winning was out ofthe question. We discovered these necessities too late for the season, but early enough in our lives for them to make a lasting impression. We grew to value the friendship of our teammates and became a family - closer than just co-workers. Mr. Crist was our guide and our friend. We felt more than respect for himg close ties of shared fun, laughter, even tears formed a relationship closer than that with some parents. We joked and laughed, practiced and worked, cried and recovered, together as a team and lamily. We learned about each other and ourselves, and found out that something really didn't come from nothing. We discovered the value of working together and respecting each other. 5 JV co-captain Cindy Cain passes the ball to a setter, Her consistent passing led the JV to a successful season. 6 Varsity co-captain Cheryl Polley bumps the ball to spiker Linda Brown as Brenda Heimann and Donna Johnson position themselves for the return 7 Sophomore Brenda l-leimann positions herself for a floor spike.

No man stood over 6'4 but the Viks made the difference by playing a type of ball that always surprised the opponent. Sheer ability kept them in contention for the district title in both halves of play. They played a slow-down type ot ball when the other teams expected a fast break game and a fast break game when a slow game was expected. They pulled the other teams out of their accustomed styles, thereby making up for a lack of height. When you have no height and play a different kind of ball each game, you must have total concentration and make no mistakes. When you make mistakes, you lose, said Coach lvlasch. In first half play the Viks' mistakes came back to back, losing to Reagan and Anderson. In the Lanier gym the Raiders jumped to a 23-14 lead in the first quarter but the Viks came back within 2 points at the half. The Viks' 9 fouls to the Raiders 3 in the second half showed that mistakes hurt. Lanier lost 67-79. The next game the Viks journeyed up the hill to Anderson, No one thought that quick 5'6 Junior Davis could be stopped, but the Trojans contained him, making it almost impossible for him to work the ball into Lawerence Fowler and Brian Markert who scored 19 and 18 points respectively. Once again they fell 72-95, first loss ever to Anderson. Finishing third in the first half the Viks still had hopes of a playoff game against first half winner Reagan. Second halt play opened with two big wins over Johnston and Travis. Against Johnston five players scored in double figures to give us an 80-57 victory. 1 Front row Cleft to rightj: Phillip Knight, Larry Lawrence, Curtis Ellison, Junior Davis, Will Prossner, Gavin Garcia.

Like his teammates, Junior made up for a lack of height by jumping high. 3 Will Prosser goes in for a layup. Will can also dunk the ball when necessary. 4 Coach Masch explains the game plan lor the next quarter. He stresses key points that may make the difference in the game. 5 Brian Markert goes up high with the options of shooting or passing while Dwight Dickey waits for his move, Senior Brian Markert scored 16, just behind Junior Curtis Ellison's 17. Once again Ellison came alive as high point man with 25 against Travis. In the process of beating the Rebels and cutting off big post Mark Wright, Lawrence Fowler pumped in 23 points. At Austin l-ligh, the Viks couldn't get anything going. Early inthe game Curtis Ellison and Lawrence Fowler drew 3 fouls apiece. Austin jumped ahead early and kept the lead the entire game. Eric Barnett had 20 points but it wasn't enough as Austin won by four points, 65-61 . The next game the Viks faced an old nemesis, McCallum. Mac had not won a game all season and we had easily beaten them by 14 points in the tirst half. We trailed by one at the end of the first quarter and by two at the half. In the third quarter each team scored eleven leaving the game with a two point difference, but after the break the Viks couldn't get their shots in and lost 57-62. After two losses, the tired up Viks stomped Crockett 88-65, scoring 55 points in the second half alone. As the Viks arrived at the Fleagan gym, it looked as if they might not be on top at the end. Four juniors and one sophomore on the bench. Once the game started, nothing could stop the Viks. They made 87 per cent of their shots with Curtis Ellison making 13 ot 14 tree throws and seven field goals to total 27 points. Junior Davis pumped in eight of nine free throws to make his total of eight points. The Viks won 62-53. Things had only just begun for these seven who would return again next year to work and win together. With Senior Brian Markert back on the court, things looked much better as the Viks faced Anderson, the second halt leader. The Trojans got an early lead that the Viks could never erase and Lanier finished on the low end 56-75. The Viks closed the season beating LBJ 69-65 and Brian Markert ended his high school career with 29 points. Anywhere Brian shot it went in, helping the Viks win their final game. Lawrence Fowler, Brian Markert and Curtis Ellison added up points, while Bon Wright, Richard Burns, Eric Barnett and Will Prosser grabbed rebounds and Junior Davis razzle dazzled the crowd moving the ball down the court in split seconds. These eight men proved that experience wasn't everything, that playing together as a team, and being versatile, also gave you wins. varsity basketball hat this freshman basketball team did was completely unexpected. Like their football team, they shouldn't have even caused a slight tremor in the district race. But instead, their earth-shaking performances earned them an undeleated city championship. The frosh scoring was consistentg no team ever came within fifteen points of Lanier. ln fact, Lanier upended second place Johnston twice, first 66-45, then 85- 60, The Rams were lucky, though. The Viks annihilated Travis 76-33 and 61-45, and smacked Anderson 72-42. This kind of basketball couIdn't have been possible without the outstanding talent the 20 man squad had. Starters Pat Maxwell, Mike Perry, Chet Stevenson, Mike Campbell and Harrell Howard made up the backbone of the team, while Mike Taylor, James Harris, and Kevin Wade provided top-notch substitutions. Coach Hooker predicted that at least three guys should move up to varsity by next year. A lot of credit goes to Coach Hocker himself. He pointed out that discipline played just about the biggest part in the season. The boys didn't want the discipline and order that I gave them. Everybody wanted to play offense instead of defense, and there was a lot of concern over who scored the most. Lots of discipline and talent plus a winning coach. These are the ingredients that turned up a twenty game winning streak, a district title, and the first undefeated basketball team in Lanier's history. ndefea ted The JV finished with a 7-9 district record. Dribbling, passing and shooting, they patterned themselves after the Varsity. ln first half play they barely lost to Travis by four points. The next week they stomped Austin and came up against McCallum. The Viks led by one in the first quarter but the Knights tied it at 27 at the half. The Viks took the third quarter but as the game neared the end they tell behind one point. With less than five seconds left, Eric Busboom put in the winning basket to make it 60-59. First half play ended with a win over Crockett and three consecutive losses to Reagan, Anderson and LBJ. The second half shaped up the same as the first, losing and beating the same teams, with one exception. They turned the loss to Reagan into a big victory. Lanier led at the half, but the Raiders tied it up at the end of the game, sending it into a 74-71 overtime victory. Bruce Markert led scoring with 22 points, making four in overtime. Brian Hawthorne and Kenneth Thompson made the other winning baskets in overtime. The Viks ended the season in a heated game against LBJ. The game went back and forth with each of the teams trading turns leading. The final score showed the teams equal with 57 points a piece. ln the overtime, LBJ made one basket and held the Viks off, but just as the buzzer rung, Larry Lawrence put in a winning shot. The two teams once again went into overtime ending with Ll3j ahead and winning 77-76.

In the A Doubles Division, Derek Avance and Steve Doerr concluded their tournament play with a second place. The team played expertly at the District Tournament. Andy Gillies and sophomores Mike Dillon topped the quarters in singles along with Derek Avance and Tim Peterson, who reached the quarters in doubles. The team lost many experienced players through graduation. Andy Gillies, Derek Avance, Steve Doerr, Keith Henson, Tim Peterson and Richard Gmitter were some of those lost.

Brian pitched and also played outfield, 4 Clay Collins stands ready at first base while an LBi opponent slides in. Clay also played catcher. 5 Sometimes it took the know-how of a coach to help along with a guy's playing. Coach Riemer instructs Catcher Robert Brock to get up closer to the hitter. kI,3.s ' elf iking baseball experienced a season of highs and lows, never playing the average game. We either played very well or very poorly, commented Head Coach Burrell. The Viks highlighted their season by trimming defending champ LBJ 2-1. Lanier simply made too many mistakes to win district, but they competed impressively and never gave up. They were rewarded with a 13-11 winning season. The Viks opened season play March 1 with a doubleheader against Round Rock, beating them once 6-O, and losing the other game 2-5. In other pre-district games, Lanier upset strongly favored Houston Lee 5-3, and toppled city rival Austin High 6-O. March 15 was Lanier's district grand opening, as they squelched Johnston 14- 2. The Viks made it three in a row by thumping Travis 9-5, and Austin 6-5. March 23, the MacCallum Bad News Knights beat Lanier 1-3 and handed the Viks their first district loss, They lost the rest of their first half games to Crockett C3- 4J, Reagan C1-41, Anderson C3-91 and LBJ C4-95. The Vikings improved greatly in the second halt, again overturning Travis and Johnston and downing Reagan and Crockett. After losing close games to Austin, McCallum and Anderson, Lanier was bound and determined to overthrow defending champ LBJ. The Viks played the Jags a tough, ruthless game and upset them 2-1 . Lanier was losing several top seniors, including Brian Markert. Brian was a worthy outfielder and priceless pitcher, This season he pitched a no-hitter against Reagan. Third baseman Larry Bowers led the Viks in RBl's, and batted an average of 318. Returning were juniors and sophomores that showed signs of deep talent. Bubba Jennings played dual roles of pitcher and second baseman. Lett-handed Faron Fowler played left field and batted 348, Kelly Holligan pitched two games and won both, while Bruce Markert moved up as shortstop and Larry Lawrence made his way at second base. Everybody's going to be better next year, said Coach Burrell. We're going to be much, much better. VVe'II definitely be contenders. baseball 207 Endm - V4 Juli? -I 41: z .2 We. -.. pa ..

Bob Schawb took second in State at 129 pounds and Jim Rogers took fourth at 141 pounds. As a growing sport, wrestling olfered a place tor the high school boy willing lo put forth the etlort, from the 100- pounder to the heavyweight. With the team expanding, chances are good for two teams next year, varsity plus a new freshman team. With most ot the team returning, the good experience they received from participating at meets in Dallas, Oklahoma, San Antonio, Killeen, and local high schools will give them a great advantage. 1 Bob Schwab wrestles in State finals against Richardson-McArthur High School.

An even worse thought was that of getting in a swimming pool while there was steam rising from puddles of water outside, it was so cold. Swimming felt good though, after you were dressed you felt warm and refreshed. Michelle Abbott, Phil Baker, Ann Barnes, Vicki Gilmore and Kathy McCluskey swam every morning from 8:00 till 8115 or 8:45 till 9130 at Swim-A-Day. Sometimes, on those cold mornings they didn't feel like swimming and felt tempted to stay under warm bedcovers. They knew if they did though, they'd get left behind when swim meet time rolled around. At the first of the year two city ranking meets determined whether they would compete on JV or Varsity. Freshman Phil Baker had qualifying times for the Varsity team. With only six swimmers, Lanier could not be expected to place when some ofthe other teams had as many as forty members , . . Not surprising themselves but everyone else, Lanier clinched fourth place at one of the three Austin meets, missing third place by only one point. One meet in Dallas was strictly for Varsity and two others were held in San Antonio. The team felt a sort of unity at the meets, lt was very difficult to come out on the top individually, so the members competed as a team, not complimenting themselves on individuality but as how well they were doing as a team. Maybe getting up those cold mornings was uncomfortable, but the end result was something to be proud of. Having new members seemed to agree with the girls' gymnastics, judging from their successful outcome this year. Mrs. Crawford was confident, We had talented girls this year and they all did their best. The girls ranked 3rd in the city wide compulsory meet, a big step considering they were competing with girls who trained after hours with private clubs. The biggest problem was the lack of facilities, added Mrs. Crawford. But the girls were dedicated and showed up at school every morning at 7:30 to work out. The close friendship and helpfulness of the group resulted in winners like Lisa and Becky Stark. The highest scores were found on the parallel bars and the floor exercises but all the girls wholeheartedly agreed the bars were their favorite. Lois Sorrells came in 1st with her beam routine and Julie Adams won 3rd place with hers. Becky Stark, a freshman, progressed quickly during the year and won 1st place in the parallel bars. Lisa Stark and Lisa Roberts impressed all with their agility and all around capabilities, working well on the bars. gymnastics S wrestling Bermudez Voted 1 Sophomore Todd Turner Qolls at the last hole at the Municipal Golf Course.

The Soccer team played a hair-raising game with LBJ and won 7-1. They experienced an exceptional 7-2 season. With an extremely large team, many players turned out to be excellent. With leadership from Mr. Wood as sponsor and Mark Holt, Efren Bermudez, and Chris Hazlewood as captains, it was no wonder the soccer team had one ofthe best years ever. Efren Bermudez was voted the leagues most valuable player. Mark Holt won best defensive player for conference, and Andy Gillies was the leading scorer on the team. Mike Dillon played goalie. Talented playing and exciting games made the students at Lanier sit up and take notice of soccer this year. With petitions and persuasive arguments, Soccer players got the attention of the school board members in a plea for funding. This year's golf team had a challenge in front of them. Last year they defeated Austin to finish third place in district play, it seemed to be a repeat this year. LBJ and Anderson had first and second for sure. But in final district play Austin clinched third, beating out Lanier by 4 shots. The team traveled quite a bit. Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and Brownwood were only a few mentioned. Sometimes they weren't playing at their best, but at district, the golf team showed everyone else they meant business. ln a round robin in Austin they finished fifth. The teams good luck and skill hinged on three players, Jerry Thorn, Jim Bourque, and Todd Turner. After the first day of district play Jim was easily in second place. soccer, golf 2 varsity basketball girls basketball lhs opp lhs opp 71 vvaco 48 73 victoria 70 58 richfield 84 89 Churchill 84 67 austin 63 58 eagles 73 52 waco 22 68 temple 71 43 burnet 52 84 victoria 94 79 Crockett 56 58 killeen 62 53 austin 67 101 tivy 64 48 reagan 36 58 milby 73 30 anderson 32 54 johnston 46 60 westlake 47 volleyball 79 travis 60 53 bastrop 35 65 highland 62 62 rockdale 21 lhs opp 74 lbj 68 36 Carmine 48 0 mccallum 2 36 seguin 56 48 lbj 60 1 reagan 2 58 reagan 62 67 elgin 20 1 anderson 2 74 austin 62 48 new braunfels 44 vargny fgotball 1 Crockett 2 73 mccallurn 58 36 round rock 45 1 johnston 2 55 Crockett 48 51 johnston 77 lhs Opp 1 lbj 2 67 reagan 79 51 travis 40 6 killeen 39 1 travis 2 69 victoria 72 60 mccallum 50 0 seguin 7 2 austin 0 72 anderson 95 54 Crockett 55 44 jnnnsmn 0 1 johnston 2 85 lbj 70 35 reagan 28 6 travis 0 1 Crockett 2 80 johnston 57 47 anderson 46 13 austin 21 1 travis 2 78 travis 64 39 lbj 50 14 mcgallum 17 1 reagari 2 61 austin 65 34 midway 77 0 Crockett 0 2 austin 1 57 mccallum 62 46 johnston 70 14 reagan 41 1 anderson 2 88 crockett 65 49 travis 30 2 anderson 17 2 mccallum O 62 reagan 53 56 austin 39 14 Ibj 22 1 Ibj 2 56 anderson 75 48 rnccallum 55 QW 8 x X :Wy V 4 - , Q' f x,.. 7'i 1 '. 1 Janis Thompson William Thompson Juanita Titus Jerry Trevino Betty Tucker Marjorie Turk Debate Physical Education HECE Language Arts VOE Science I ' L , . -, ll Mattie Vaughn Pat Wagner Ruby Walters Dale Welsher Rodger Wiley Karleen Williams Business Cosmetology Language Arts Spanish Principal Language Arts 4 scoreboard! faculty Scoreboard Wns 1 6 8 3 0 6 6 2 9 2 2 5 8 hs rvon 6 5 2 O 3 O 7 8 6 girls tennis tall lonnston travis austin mccallum crockett reagan anderson Ibj spring austin mccallum reagan Ibj boys tennis fall spring Crockett mccallum austin reagan anderson lbj jonnston travis ODD 3 1 6 9 3 3 7 0 7 7 4 1 ODD lost 3 4 7 9 6 9 3 1 3 wrestling Ins opp 40 tsb 2O 57 tsd 7 54 reagan 9 2nd dr pepper invitational 3rd austin invitational 9th rl turner 3rd district 15th state soccer Ins opp 5 lbj 2 3 Westlake 2 2 crockett 1 2 austin 4 4 travis 1 4 tsd 1 5 jonnston O 5 reagan 4 O anderson 5 golf Ins opp won johnston lost won mccallum lost lost lbj won lost anderson won won crockett lost lost austin vvon lost travis won won mccallum lost s 6 10 3 1 6 5 2 14 9 6 1 3 1 3 4 7 6 1 2 4 4 O 2 varsity baseball round rock vidor victoria mccallum austin houston ricnfield ionnston travis austin mccallum Crockett reagan anderson Ibj jonnston travis austin mccallum crockett reagan anderson Ibj DDD 3 9 4 7 O 3 3 2 5 5 3 4 4 9 9 3 4 5 3 2 O 4 1 boys track Ins 2nd reagan, tbl 6th vvaco relays 5th cnaparral 6th austin invitational 12th college station 10th killeen texas relays 4th matador relays 7th district scoreboard 215 Senior Credtts bruce patrick akroyd shirlene eldridge mike j. aleman debra violet aahabranner: voe david milton austin: varsity baseball derek william avance: past. varsity tennis, bsa eagle scout. order ol the arrow. broth- erhood member, who's who among ameri- can high schools, most studtous trom sen- tOr class andy roy baker ruth ann baker: nhs. literary club, band librar- lan url solo and ensemble, stale solo and ensemble. all dtstrtct band, all region band, all city band all ctty orchestra. squad leader. trustees award melissa jane bands: pan-am, moneymaktng chairman appreciation award at senior prom richard lynn bardin: key Club president john patrick barger: tta, drama club. best actor - zone contest, honorable mention - district. best actor -lanter 1975-77 lBH1ll'llQ MIN!

cast their votes in the Student Council officer election, they were practicing the democratic ways that got this country through 200 years ol growth, and preparing for the next 50 years to come. 3 We planted seeds, providing a growing atmos- phere, and watched new lite develop. Linda lselt and Cindy Davis water and hoe the caladiums in the courtyard. 4 We learned to stand up and speak our minds in classes and club meetings. Tony Medlock fol- lows parliamentary procedures, asking FFA members to consider Boagie Kennedys qualifi- cations for vice president Life Geared for Learning earning. It contains past, present, and future and it never stops. At our age, life was geared to it. Everything we did during this fast paced growing year made an impression, fixed a pattern and pointed us toward our unique future. As we began to make choices for ourselves, we felt growing independence and responsibility. Picking hobbies like bowling, maorame, or flying, we invested time and energy, and earned divi- dends of relaxing pleasure. Struggling with tough decisions about courses, jobs, and colleges, we developed self awareness. We had to figure out who we were and where we were headed. The world we lived in affected our decisions. We learned what it had to offerg how to have fun at parks and hill country lakes, where to dance to fine country music, and the quickest ways to get to north Austin during rush hours. We figured out what courses and teachers were available, and tolerable. We found part time jobs to support our clothes, cars, eating and dating habits, and we planned ahead for career opportunities. The more we learned, the more we were on our own. closing 227 228 closing I t ln a typical lifelike classroom project, Mr. Por- ter's Advanced Social Studies Problems stu- dents experience a murder trial. Brian Day swears in a witness in Judge Farrow's court. 2 Making enchlladas in the kitchen of her moth- er's restaurant, Sylvia Ramirez prepared for a career in restaurant management. Our family backgrounds helped determine our future. 3 For most couples, marriage was a long way oil. But we were learning to share joys and responsibilities, preparing for longer term com- mitments. Eric Barnett and Lisa Ray study an elaborate wedding cake at Handy Andy. 4 Working with kindergarten children in FTA, Karen Carpenter discovered TGBCVIJIQ was an exciting learning experience. As a sophomore, she was already thinking about her career opportunities. 5 When NHS members visited Villa Siesta Rest Home, they may not have realized they had a glimpse at their distant future. Chris Fairman had a chance to see things that change, like health and strength, and things that stay the same, like humor. 6 Glynda Mercier looks through a newspaper tor articles to clip for Mr. l-lilsabecks student refer- ence notebook.

We could now venture out to new things, new areas and experience. Personalities broadened, and we knew more of what we liked and disliked. We found there was too much out there to pass up or let go by us. Our relationships grew as we grew. We chose our friends and lovers with greater care, sensing our needs in companions. But we also sensed their needs and accepted the responsibilities attached to the growing and maturing relationships. We now viewed parents differently. No longer the unyield- ing disciplinarians, they were the always present friend and advisor, ready to support or compro- mise, We got a taste of the responsibilities that waited for us in adulthood. We were becoming the aware citizen, the voter to be. Lite wasn't Utopia and we prepared ourselves to take what was going to be handed to us when the world was ours. Ecology suddenly was a matter to be dealt with instead of ignored. Political discussions arose more often and we really knew what we were talk- ing about. We Iearned from everything. Our relation- ships, classes, activities, they were all geared to give us experience. The learning experience. ..
