Friends Indeed Marshall ran around together to various places like White Rabbit, Chelsea, Gattis and cruised around looking for guys. Casee Cleckler helped Cindy Todd plan her wedding. Debbie Janecka helped Carol Kaltenbaugh with her wedding, Journalistic buddies, Flora Choate and Theresa Gage went to movies, basketball games, experienced Rocky together, and suflered the pains and strains oj producing the yearbook. The milestones in our relationships that we overcame brought us together, When we had ironed outa problem or solved a disagreement, both of us profited from the learning experience. The entire student body befriended Michelle Wilkins when her house burned down by donating clothes, money, food, and furniture.

When Ftose went to West Point to see her boyfriend, Paula Thiede helped her pack and prepare for her journey. When she didn't make Vikettes, Beth Hoffman was consoled by her friends, who gave her carnations anyway. Problems with our parents or burdens from a friend seemed unbearable until we could talk with someone who cared and understood. The loss ofa parent or a breakup with a long time lover made it seem as il our world had come undone. The support of a friend helped us rebuild our world and sometimes made it better. 3 . friends 69

ex l l Q . l 'll X I I 4 lt took more than intelligence to pass advanced classes It took a lot of out of class effort and struggling to keep up the average. Jennie Best and Theresa Brown rinse their mops to clean Mrs. Turk's chemistry room after school for extra credit. 5 We viewed on stage the future stars of Broad- way and Hollywood right here at Lanier. Here. Laura Sargologos, John Barger, and Donna Sto- rey perform Merry Wives of Winsdorf' the play that all three won awards for. iw it Showmg Umque Talent he nonconformists, the talented, the eccentric, the dedicated, the intelligent - they made our student body. 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. When you watched her in a scene you really wondered if it was just a play or whether you had just walked in on the real thing, A few had a knack for doing different things, or normal things differently. Jack Fairchild drove an unconventional ieep and played a mean banjo. Geri DelGuidice ate no meat and was an avid nostalgic movie fan. She and her brother had a large collection of records from classical orchestra to Broadway musicals to Barry Manilow. Throughout school, we admired certain peers. In kindergarten, the cute little kid who was a head taller than everyone else always learned his ABC's before the rest of the class. ln high school, he broke records by the dozens as an people 71
