Little Rock Central High School Little Rock, Arkansas 72202 Volume 35 'Chough their figures arc distorted by a mirror in the Fun House at the Arkansas Stale Fair, the futures of junior Jeff Bullard and sophomore George Newbcrn—two’active students—offer ho| es for successful lives. Checking her appearance in one of the school's bathroom mirrors is senior Sandra Scott. Many faces looked into each of the mir- rors every day of school. Outlooks With the start of a new decade, numerous people began pondering the future of the nation. They looked long and hard at the rising rate of inflation, at the energy crisis, at the unstable conditions in many parts of the world, and at what many called “corruption” in government. The conclusion for most seemed to be that the 1980’s would not be a good decade for this nation. Yet. these pessimists failed to look at the nation's youth—the youth who will be tomorrow's future. If they had looked at youth, they would have discovered an optimistic group of people who feel that the ills plaguing the nation and the world can be overcome. They would have discovered a group of people who feel that the best in life is yet to come, both for them and for the nation. The 1979-80 PIX yearbook tells the story of one group of youth—those at Little Rock Central High, a school that in 1957 had a bleak future as the result of its now infamous in- tegration crisis. Today’s Central is one filled with success. Tomorrow's Central will be one that will offer even more suc- cess stories. The outlooks, for both Central and its students of the 1979-80 school year, are indeed fillet! with promises of suc- cess. Showing her support for both her school and her Tiger basket- ball team, junior varsity cheerleader Fclecia Thomas leaps high in the air during a cheer at a conference basketball game. 2—Table of Contents With her hair in curlers and applying her makeup before coming to school, sophomore Jett Clancy uses a mirror. Using a mirror, junior Allen Wayne prepares for a Friday night dale. Shaving isn't fun. even though as a kid I thought it would lx-. he said. With the aid of his car mirror, senior Ricky Funderburg takes a final look at Central as he leaves school at the end of another day of classes. Mirrors have many uses in today's society. Junior English students, taught by Mrs. Hazel Bullock, study the different types of sentences. Layne Huckabay writes a compound sentence at the board while Mrs. Bullock explains the elements of a compound sentence to the class. On the job at Murry's Dinner Playhouse is Industrial Cooperative Training student Creg Nichols, a junior. Students in ICT attended classes during the mornings and then worked in local businesses during the afternoons, thus gaining actual job ex- perience while attending school. Selecting'a book to read as part of an assignment in one of his classes is senior Darrell Oliver. Most classes required students to do extensive reading outside of their regular classroom work. 4—Theme Outlooks... Learning takes top priority for Central Checking the progress of senior Carolyn Retlus in doing a problem in Accounting II is Mrs. Joyce Arick, instructor of the course. Modem equipment in the classrooms enabled students to gain training for employment in today's modem business world. Theme—5 Foreign exchange student Achim Cullatz delivers a speech on his native Germany in Communications I class. In advanced journalism, senior Margaret Camer works on doing paste- ups for the student newspaper, the Tiger. In most of the classes, students got the opportunity to learn what was being taught by actually doing it. No student should leave Cen- tral High School until he has received an education that will allow him to gain meaningful employment or will allow him to enter an institution of higher learning where he will favorably compete.” This statement by Acting Prin- cipal Gene Hooks partially sum- marizes what the 1979-80 school year was all about. And. Central High School did all that it possibly could do for its students. Central offered the most exten- sive high school curriculum in Arkansas, it had classrooms with modern equipment designed to improve learning situations, and —above all —it had a dedicated faculty intent on pro- viding a superior education to each student. Throughout the 52 years that it has been in its present location. Central High—because of its sound educational program—has graduated students who have had meaningful roles in society. The outlook for the coming years remains the same. Outlooks... Personalities develop during teenage years The personality that a perdii ha.� will determine his success in society. And. since the teenage years are crucial in personality development. Central High School attempts to guide each student in the development of a personality that will be an asset to him throughout his life. The school's extensive extra-curricular program, the school’s constant urging of students to become involved in community af- fairs. and units taught by teachers in various courses are but three ways that the school employs in assisting students with personality development. To remind students of the need for a good personality, the builders of Central placed a statue of the Greek goddess of per- sonality over the main entrance to the building. Three other statues—representing opportunity, preparation, and ambition- stand next to the statue of personality. There is more to education than just learning from books, Act- ting Principal Gene Hooks said. We must deal with more than just mental development to fulfill our community responsibilities. Pep Club member perform together in cheering the Tiger basketball team in a game at Tiger Fieldhouse. A major purpose of student organizations was to get students to work harmoniously together, thus aiding the development of good personality. During the fall, sophomore Claire Parins campaigns for class senator, seeking support from Ken Alexander. Doing volunteer work dur- ing the summer at the University Medical Center, junior Martin Talley prac- tices the proper method of lifting patients from beds. 6—Theme A weekend date takes senior Robin Carr and junior James Lanigan to Buster's for a meal before they attend a movie. The school attempts to teach students to provide respect for each other, something important. Devoting summer vacation to teaching swimming at the Westside YMCA to young children, senior Johanna Glenn shows proper breathing to a tot. Applying his make-up for the title role he played in the Arkansas Arts Center's Children's Theatre presentation of Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates is sophomore George Newbcrn. It was presented in December. Io raise money for a planned summer trip to Germany, members of the school’s Ger- man Band, also called the Blue Angels. play for a birthday party at the French Quarter Hotel in Eureka Springs. The band made many appearances in the state. Theme—7 Physical education students play volleyball during their fourth period class. Dance theatre students practice, above, for an assembly appearance. Right, sophomore Steve Brewer learns drill routines for the Tiger band. As a member of the Tiger soccer team, senior Scott Ford practices kicking the ball. Central was one of only a few high schools in the state fielding a soccer team this year. Males and females were members. 8—Theme Outlooks... Physical fitness plays major school role Not too many years ago, schools paid little or no attention to physical fitness. Today, however, that has changed, especially at Central High. It is important to a person's health and to his success to lx? physically fit, a school official indicated, adding that if students can lx? taught to keep themselves physically fit now. then they will probably continue to keep physically fit throughout their lives. Programs designed to aid students in keeping physically fit were numerous, ranging from an extensive sports program to gym classes and from dance classes to marching band. It was evident that students paid close attention to physical fitness, even outside of school. A look at their hobbies reveal- ed that sports usually came first on each student's list. On Thanksgiving Day in Central’s traditional foot- ball battle with the Hall Warriors. Tiger quarter- back Danny Nutt, 9, prepares to throw a pass. Theme—9 On an outing to the Zoo of Ark- ansas. junior Vicki White sees a friend and waves as class- mates Lori Barnes and jo A nne Wil- liams smile. Rehearsing for parts they had in the Arkansas Children's-Theatre production of Aesop's Falables are sophomore Leslie Mears. at tlie piano, and junior Mark Snclson. junior Bret Fausett. sophomore Edward Allen, and sophomore Laura Kahler. The play, which received high praise, was presented in the fall. Before the start of school, student body president Roosevelt Thompson and other students play a game of ball at the Senior Class Picnic, which was at Lake Nixon. 12—Student Life Outlooks in Student Life... What was it like to be a student at Central High School during the 1979-80 term? Most students would say that it was “the greatest year” of their lives—“a year filled with lots of exciting people doing lots of exciting things.” as student body president Roosevelt Thomp- son. a senior, put it. Indeed, there were many activities—both at school and in the community—to keep students occupied. These activities were in addition to the work demanded of students by their teachers and in addition to the chores that parents often demanded be done at home. These activities ranged from dances in Tiger Fieldhouse to parties in the homes of friends, from club meetings to Tiger athletic events, from movies to concerts, and from cruisin’ University” to “gab sessions” with friends. It was an exciting year. At the close of another school day. sophomores Maddolyn Moore and Leanne Bussell stop on campus to talk with friends. Central is certainly a friendly school. Maddolyn said, adding that it had been easy for her to make friends. A “Charmin Party” could provide loads of fun. as senior Mark Kane and junior Kelli Nicholson discover. At a Charmin Party. the uninvited guests proceed to decorate a friend's lawn with yards and yards of toilet tissue. � early March at the Parkview Patriot Relays, junior Jackie Parker competes i the 110-yard low hurdles event. The female Tigers won the meet easily, fany Central students were in attendance at Tiger track events this year. •fore the start of their English class, students take advantage of the few inutes available to them by talking about events of the day and their plans r the evening. It seemed that all students had much to talk about each day. aking high waves, senior Jay McEntire enjoys an August weekend on a lake Hot Springs. Water sports ranked number one on the list of student avorites. Numerous lakes and streams were within driving distance. Student Life—13 One major problem of summer was a lack of gasoline, causing some Little Rock' residents not to take vacation trips. The shortage of gasoline caused many residents, such as senior Murry New hern, to keep their automobile tanks full. SUMMER ' They Tausey That Refreshes' offers good description of days when students enjoy summer When the last bell rang on May 31, 1979, it was the beginning of summer vacation for most students. It meant three months of “fun in the sun.” Because of the numerous lakes and streams in the central Arkansas area, water sports ranked at the top of the summer list for most students. The water sports were varied, ranging from swimming to skiing and from scuba diving to boating. Of course, there were other things to do, like working. Raising high waves, sophomore Joey Johnson spend a sultry summe day ski- ing on Lake Ouachita fntiot' Springs. 14—Summer Trying their luck at fishing while on a camping trip at Pinnacle Mountain State Park are seniors Alan Turner. Paul Phillips, and Scott Kuykendall as Hall senior Frank Wilkins watches. Kscaping the heat at a local skating rink, seniors Freddie Clark and Jackie Washington have some fun for the benefit of tin yearbook photographer. Skating rinks were popular with students during both the summer and winter months. An August day when the temperature hit 97 degrees proves an ideal time for seniors Mur- ry Newbern and Becky Davis to go sailing. Arkansas' hot summer came as a surprise for exchangees Achim Gullatz of Germany and Lars Bohman of Sweden who had ex- pected somewhat cooler weather. Summer— 15 History of Central When Central High School opened its doors for the 1927-28 school year, it was a new building that students and staff members entered—a building that had gained national attention as being the largest high school in the nation” and America’s most expensive high school. The building was constructed at a cost of $1.5 million, which was about the same amount that the School District spent in 1969 to build the school’s library, a small building that is dwarfed by Central. Known as Little Rock Senior High at the time, the building was designed to accommodate 3.000 students. During the 1957-58 school year. Central High School appeared on the front pages of newspapers throughout the world as a result of an integration crisis that brought federal troops to the school on orders from President Eisenhower. The decision of the School Board in the fall of 1979 to spend approximately $5.25 million for renovation pro- jects at the school represents the first major work to be done on Central High since it was constructed. Touring Central High will reveal extensive damage caused by a leaking roof an faulty plumbing. At left, plaster has fallen from the ceiling in the hall leading I the ROTC rooms. At right, a bathroom ceiling leaks and a door lies in the flou Surveying a restroom, architects check plumbing and radiators to determine th cost in replacing them. Renovation projects, planned to begin in the summer o 1980. include the replacement of the building's plumbing and heating systems' School Board member Mr. Herb Rule, an attorney, climbs out a window to inspect the school's leaking roof. An inspection tour of Central High School during the fall brought several Board members ami repress tatives of (lie news media to the school. Here, the group looks at the roof, which has become water-soakj ami now leaks into classrooms. The Board approved extensive renovation projects following tin toil 16—Renovation RENOVATION 'Board votes to spend $5.25 million for repairs on main building After hesitating several months, the Little Rock School Board voted in November to spend approximately $5.25 million for renovation projects at Central High, the District’s oldest high school. City voters had narrowly approved a tax package in the 1979 school election—a package that Board members said would provide Central with “at least $4.5 million” for renovation projects. However, after passage, the Board ap- peared reluctant to fulfill its promise to voters. The renovation projects will include replacement of decay- ing windows, replacement of faulty plumbing and electrical systems, replacement of an outdated heating system, and replacement of the Toof. to name a few of the projects. The major projects will l egin in the summer of 1980. Before the start of «he 1979-80 school year, the School District began making minor repairs to Central, a school that has had little work done on it since it opened in 1927. At left, a workman attempts to even molding around a locker area. Above, a workman places cement around lockers that were removed from the walls and reinforced. Renovation—17 OPENING NEW SCHOOL YEAS JVlost students welcome' returning to school, despite hot weather Despite the hot weather and the lack of air conditioning at Central, most students welcomed returning to their classes. They had become bored with their summer vacation. There were 1.921 students on hand for the start of the 1979-80 school year. The enrollment showed an increase of 83 over the previous school year, something that surprised school officials since they had expected an enrollment decline. Central was the only city high school to have an enrollment increase. Of those who enrolled. 55 percent were black and 45 per- cent were white. This was the same percentage as the last school year. To acquaint the incoming sophomore class with school policy, Student Council sponsored an orientation assembly and dance prior to the opening of classes. Approximately two-thirds of the 833 sophomores attendet! the assembly. Total enrollment for the Little Rock School District during the 1979-80 school year was 20,446. This was a decline of 87 over the previous school year. Pawing out books on the opening day of school in an afternoon class. Mrs. Marilyn Brewster shows strains of the busy day. Hghting hot weather at the opening of the school year, many students—such as senior Steve Manes—wore shorts. Here. Manes serves on a panel in his child development class with guest speakers from a local drug rehabilitation center. In the background, a maintenance employee attempts to complete work not finished before classes started. Registering for classes at the start of the 1979-80 school year, junior Creg Nichols completes the necessary forms. School officials said that registration went smoother this year than in previous years, noting that there had been fewer errors on student schedules. The school enrolled 1.921 students, more than any other city high school. 18—Opening Week Popular disc jockey Craig O'Neill of radio station KLAZ-FM joins in the dancing fun at tlx annual sophomore orientation dance sponsored by Student Council in mid- August. O'Neill, a graduate of Central High, played the music for the disco dance. After giving help to school of- ficials in registering students during mid-August, senior Den a Buie takes a lunch break on the stairs in the main hall. At sophomore orientation, counselors Miss Ma ie Brown and Mrs. Linda Porter explain the school's guidance service's. The orientation program, conducted before school opened, was sponsored by Student Council. With the start of school, about the only ones who hated to see students return to classes were family pets, such as Bertram the Dog. owned by senior Murry Newbem and sophomore George Newbem. Despite hot weather, most of August was spent by members of the Tiger football team in practicing for the new season. Opening Week—19 '■y i Performing a stunt .it a basketball game are members of the Tiger junior varsity checrleading squad Members are Brenda Hatchett. bottom; Felicia Tlmmas.

SPIRITED ■Students unite; in supporting their' Tigef teams Nolxxly in Arkansas denies that Central High School has a spirited student body. In fact, there are many who believe that Central's student Ixnly is the state's most spirited. One reason for this spirit is tradition. Cen- tral has won more state titles in sports than has any other state school. To promote spirit, both Student Council and the numerous pep organizations spon- sored many ‘‘spirit events,” ranging from pep rallies to “dress-up days and from bonfires to selling ribbons. In the first state title to come up for grabs— in cross country, the Tigers 'won it. This got us off to a good start.” student body president Roosevelt Thompson said, adding that being number one in the football polls for most of the season realK gave us the push to carry us through the sear.” fading the yelk for (lie Tigers at a football game '«•inst the Catholic Kockcts is Brenda Hatchett, a ember of the junior varsity chccrleading squad.

Snirit—21 TEENAGE LOVE AFFAIRS To teenagers, possessing 'wheels' becomes first major goal of lift; Americans have often been accused by other nations, especial- ly the Arab nations, of having “a love affair” with the automobile. There is probably a great deal of truth in that accusation, especially as it applies to teenagers, specifically those who were enrolled at Central during the 1979-80 school year. Owning a car is the first major goal of every high school stu- dent,” senior Lambert Dyer said. A car is more than just a status symbol. It represents independence. Though vans had been popular with students a few years earlier, most students this year seemed to favor either the classy sports cars or four-wheel drive vehicles, such as jeeps and trucks. You have more independence with a four-wheel drive vehicle than with a car,” senior Marty Scudder said, adding that the four-wheel drive truck that he owned could go places that cars couldn’t go. Though gasoline was far in excess of $ 1 per gallon when the school year ended, student travel didn't seem to be restricted. If I didn't spend it (money) for gas, I would spend it for something else,” senior Mike Breedlove said, apparently echoing the feeling of the vast majority of his classmates. Another drawback to owning an automible was the high in- surance rates charged for teenage drivers. Driving a convertible is fun for junior Donna Tyce who picks up senior Paula Johnson at the end of school. A Saturday morning provides a good time for seniors Kim Crinage and Sonya Mumford to inspect a new car, something they hope to receive from their parents as graduation gifts. EAST STAND iT STAND 22-Wheels Though often muddy, the backroads of central Arkansas can offer some riding fun. as senior Mike Breedlove, at left, discovers in his Chevy Blazer. It isn't fun to have to clean the mud from the truck, as Breedlove does in the picture above. Going weekend shopping is more pleasurable when you can drive a classy sports car. such as an MG Midget, to the store. Here, junior Mark Crawford and senior Dena Buie get out of Dena's car. which she said got 38 miles to the gallon. Cood gas mileage meant owning a motorcycle, according to students Brian Fries and Courtney Raff. Brian indicated that his Yamaha ISO provided slightly more” than 75 miles to a gallon of gasoline. Owning a car isn’t always pleasant, as seniors Sarah Hudson and Margaret Carner determine. Wheels-2 3 High gasoline prices that increased almost monthly during the 1979-80 school year and brought gasohol to central Arkansas, left, dented the budgets of many Americans, including the one of senior Dena Buie, below, who found that riding a moped provided dependable transportation and saver! her some money. iGasoholi Numerous Central students sought work this school year as a result of the high national inflation rate. One of those who found work was junior Jeff McCoy, who got a job working at The Mole Hole in University Mall. Because of size, many Americans shunned the new Susan B. Anthony dollar. It was about the size of a quarter and would buy what a quarter would have bought only a few years earlier. To cam money, senior Debordh McAfee works in the fabric department at J. C. Pen- ney's. She noted that the job helped to buy her things she couldn’t have otherwise secured. She also noted that many residents have started making their clothing. 24—Budgets UDGETBLUES ■Using inflation rate; sends students out looking for employment With a national inflation rate of 12 to 15 percent, depending pon the group compiling the statistics, many American unities found heavy dents being put into their budgets. Many of iese families had to forego luxuries to pay for the essentials.” And, as a result of this inflation and parents paying closer at- ■ntion to the money they gave to their children, many students t Central went to work. The work programs, such as istributive education and industrial cooperative training, have ecome very popular with students,” one of the counselors said. It has been impossible to meet student demands for placement i these courses.” At the start of the 1979 80 school year, there were many udents who said gasoline would never reach $1 a gallon. In December, gasoline prices passed the $1 mark. “Driving is very important to just about every teen. one ;nior said. You really pay attention to the nation's economy dien you pay today's prices for gasoline.” But, it wasn't just gasoline prices that caused woes to students. , movie ticket, a bag of popcorn, a hamburger, and just about very thing else that is important to teens went up during the 979-80 school year. When McDonald’s quit advertising a hamburger, fries, and a Coke plus some change back for a $1. then you know that it’s hard on a teen.” another student said. It takes at least $20 to pay expenses for a date now. That's super hard to take. But despite their financial woes, most students thought the 1979-80 school year was the best one ever for them. iding a customer at Baker's Shoe Store is senior Dawn Rodgers, who said that RODERICK CALVIN le enjoyed the work and the money that her job provided. Everybody today reds extra money. she said, adding that her job gave her a sense of security.” J unior Budgets—25 FALL IN TIGER TOWN vSeason of falling leaves offers change in routines of residents of Little Rock When the night air becomes chilled and the numerous trees in Little Rock begin dropping their leaves, the city begins to move at a slower pace. As if by magic, people seem to be friendlier! Though life moves at a slower pace, fall brings much in the way of ac- tivities—the annual Arkansas State Fair at Barton Coliseum, weekend football games, the start of the city's concert season, hunting, and Hallo- ween. to name a few. Fall means putting away summer clothing and searching the closets for warmer, more colorful clothing. Fall means noticing the many hues that Mother Nature has painted the many woodlands surrounding the city. And. in general, fall means happiness. The Creat Pumpkin, located at the Zoo of Arkan- sas. took on a special Central High School Tiger” appearance during the Halloween season. 26-Fall Biding “The Bug” at the Arkansas State Fair in early Oc tober are juniors Kelley Windsor and Susan Russell.

Preparing a scene at the KLAZ Haunted House in late October are senior Sherry Cummings and junior Cindy Roper, memlx'rv of the school's Distributive Education Club of America, which helped with the project. At the start of fall, senior Vonda Thomas sorts through her warmer clothing to determine what she will be able to wear during the new season. Most Central High students welcomed the arrival of fall.

Mrs Feioek. who is supervisor of English and social studies for tin- District, has announced her retirement, effective at the end of tin school year. Mrs. Josephine Feioek announces her retirement after serving 42 years in field of public education Of all Little Rock School District administrators, the most familiar one to students is Mrs. Josephine Feioek, supervisor of English and social studies. She is familiar because she has visited in the classrooms of Central High many, many times in fulfilling her duties, which also includes the supervison of journalism and speech in addition to English and social studies. Mrs. Feioek has announced that she will retire at the end of the present school year after having compiled 42 years in the field of public educa- tion. She was at Central from 1946 through 1965, first teaching in the English department and then teaching in the journalism department. Through her efforts. Central's student publications gained national recognition. “I feel close to Central,” Mrs. Feioek said. 'I spent too many years there not to feel close to it. The journalism Department is especially close to my heart. Central and the Little Rock School District will miss Mrs. Feioek. In her home. Mrs. Josephine Feioek ami her daughter, Mary, look at the 1974 PIX yearbook, which was dedicated to Mrs. Feioek. From 1957 to I9b4. Mrs. Feioek was the journalism instruc- tor at Central and adviser to student publications. 28 Over the entrance to Central are four statues, imported from Italy, and representing the Creek goddesses Ambition. Personality. Opportunity, and Preparation. The statues arc only one ar- chitectural design that has caused many to proclaim the beauty of Central High School. AMERICA’S MOST BEAUTIFUL HIGH SCHOOL School's main entrance impresses all entering through its doors LITTLE ROCK CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOI Central's main entrance stands impressive in the morning sun. Since 1927. Central has stood at the center of public education in Arkansas. In 1957. the building became known throughout the world as a result of a now infamous integration crisis. When Central opened the doors to its present building in 1927, there were many who proclaimed it as America’s Most Beautiful High School.” One of the reasons for this title was the school’s im- pressive entrance, which featured a wide variety of ar- chitectural designs, mainly Gothic. Thousands and thousands of students have passed through this front entrance. Millions and millions of people from around the world, especially during the 1957-58 school year, have seen pictures of it. Most all agree that it is beautiful. Age seems merely to add to the beauty of the building. Pictures of the architectural design used in constructing the front entrance were done by senior Jay McEntire, who said. “It seems each time I looked, there was something beautiful about the entrance that I had never seen before.” In constructing Central, architects spaa'd no costs in designing a front entrance that would catch the at- tention and create awe in all who enter through it. These pictures show some entrance features. 29 'Parade', spirit activities, football, dance combina for 'memorable'' Homecoming Take one week of ihe sch M)l year and mix together dress-up days for each of the three classes and for the faculty, a bonfire, a pep rally, a parade, a door decora- tions contest, a football game, the crowning of a queen, and a dance. The result is a week filled with excitement and lots of activity. The week just described was Central's Homecoming Week, which was Octolx r 15-19. It was a perfect week. student body president Roosevelt Thompson said, mentioning large student involvement in all of the activities and the Tigers' Homecoming f x tbull victory over the El Dorado Wildcats. 25-7.

Thoroughbred rac began at Oaklawn on Friday. February 8. and extended through Saturday. April Making an appearance in central Arkansas during the summer was the Commodores, a nationally-known musical group. Concerts by nationally- known groups were popular with a large segment of Central's population. Backgammon was popular with many on the school's teaching staff, in- cluding Mrs. Clenda Laney, instructor of English, and Mrs. Shelley Barker, instructor of math, who play the game on a Sunday afternoon. Numerous dramatic productions were available to Central students, in- cluding this one. Big Time. which had two students—junior Jeff Bullard and sophomore Ceorge Newbem—playing major roles. 32—Entertainment Playing a game of pool, sophomore Nathan Cay takes careful aim before hitting t ball.

THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT iStudents seek variety' fof their evening, weekend fun activities Though some students tend to disagree, there was much to do in the Little Rock area on practically every night of the school year. The biggest problem we have in Little Rock is that we don’t have a wide variety of activities on any given night,” junior Kaye Witherspoon said, explaining that because of the city’s size, it “just can’t of- fer what Dallas or Chicago or New York can.” The entertainment form that was most popular with students was the movies. I imagine the average student, including myself, secs about two or three movies each month,” Kay said. Other activities having appeal included concerts, plays, both ice and roller skating, tennis, golf. etc. Indeed, there was no shortage of fun ac- tivities in Little Rock, which is the state’s largest city and thus has become the state's entertainment center. t Barton Coliseum, singer Ann Wilson and members of her group.

Thanksgiving—35 ------▼ CHRISTMAS Year's most populaf holiday allows vacation of two weeks It was a happy, exciting moment whe d Friday, December 21, to begin the traditional two-week acation for Christmas. No other holiday creates more excitement among tudents and faculty members than does Christmas, as evi- ent by the numerous school-related activities surrounding tie holiday. Practically all clubs had Christmas parties. Student Coun- il sponsored an all-student Yule dance, and there was the raditional Christmas assembly that featured various musical roups. Foreign language classes went caroling, Santa Claus isited the kindergarten students, and many teachers ecorated their rooms in a Christmas motif.

January is always a bleak month. It brings those dreaded first semester exams and it usually brings some of the coldest weather of the year. It also brought confusion this year. The confusion came as a result of School District officials announcing three different semester exam schedules. Traditionally. Monday of semester exam week is a day when classes review for their exams. The exams are then given on Tuesday. Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday is the day when students are out of school so that teachers can grade the exams, post grades, and complete other first semester reports. This year, however, the birthday of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on Tuesday, January 15, came in conflict with the schedule. In an ef- fort to get Rev. King’s birthday declared an of- ficial state and national holiday, black leaders in Little Rock called on black students to re- main away from school and to attend a rally at the State Capitol. School District officials changed the schedule to avoid the conflict. However, the schedule an- nounced by District officials did not please classroom teachers, who asked for a third one. That was the one finally adopted. The third schedule provided for the exams t be given on Wednesday. Thursday, and Frida; (January 16-18) with Monday (January 21) be ing a holiday for students. Each semester exam was two-hours in lengtl and an open campus policy was in effect, mean ing students came to school onLy when they ha tests scheduled. The open campus proved to b the most important feature of the week. During semester exams in January, most students, such a senior Joy Thompson, remained at home during the perio and did lots of studying, often into the late hours of night 38—Mid-Year Though against policies of the school, students couldn't resist the temptation to ente into snowball fights on the few days in January when snow fell in the city.

Black History Month, the winding down of the basketball season, and the beginning of horse racing at Oaklawn Park are activities that bring smiles to the faces of most students. It was the first time ever for Central to observe national Black History Month. Previously, the school had sponsored a Black History Week. Highlighting the school's observance of Black History Month was an all- student assembly that featured various school groups, including the choirs and the dance theatre students. TWIRP Week, sponsored by Student Council, was perhaps the activity that gained the most student interest. Dur- ing the week, dating habits were reverset! and girls asked boys for dates. Student Council arranged for many events during TWIRP Week, including a movie, an ice skating party, and a dance. February ‘80 was indeed a month that many Central High students will never forget. To raise money for its activities, the senior class sold carnations on Valentine's Day. Here, sophomore Madolyn Moore buys one at lunch.

It portrayed the “emotions and growing-up pains of children.” The play was well-received by both the general public and the elementary school students. Mrs. Shull said, indicating that it had been a very good experience” for her drama students since they benefited from both writing and acting. To the delight of enthusiastic elementary students, sophomore Ed- ward Allen and junior Kim Magee do a scene called Free To Be You and Me” during a Come As A Child performance. Of all hobbies. probably the one that interested most female students was growing plants. Here, senior Johanna Clenn waters her plants.

The pastimes of students were as varied this school year as the students themselves, ranging from sports to raising plants and from “just messing around” to painting. Students said they made time in their schedules for pastime activities. “Relaxation is something that everybody needs,” one junior said. Sonic teachers and parents, however, felt students indulged in too much pastime activities. ftcsi fc S k ISSihsk.J! Finding some snow on a windowsill, students can't resist the temptation to make snowballs and tens them at their friends who pass by.

Playing cards was a popular pastime for many. Pastimes—45 SPRING green season brings j relief from indoor blahs f When winter gives way to spring, smiles on the faces of students seem to broaden and appear more ■ often. Yet, earth herself seems to smile as flowers be- 9| gin to bloom, trees begin to bud, and the grass turns from brown to green. Spring is the season for new be- ginnings and, for youth, this means happiness. Spring means that school is nearing the end, it means getting out of the house and into the sunshine, and it means that there' will be many more activities to fill their lives. For some, 1 however, there can be too many activities—activities that cause them to neglect their school work and to fail their courses. Those who fail find themselves without a summer'1 vacation from school; they must take summer school classes, something that doesn’t please too many of them. The warm 1 temperatures and sunshine also compete for the attention' of students. “Absences from classes seem to rise with spring temperatures,” one school official said. Some students, not want- ing to lx in the classroom but outside enjoying Mother Nature, found themselves battling the school's 15-day absentee policy,” which meant that a student would be dropped from his class if he missed more than 15 days during a semester. 46—Spring A trash can shows that some student felt it would be more fun not to be protected from the warm spring rains that fell in April. During the spring, just about any type of outside activity can be enjoyable as discovered by junior Donna Didier and senior Kristi Herndon in jumping on a trampoline. Must students wanted to be outside in the sun as much as possible during the spring months. BASEBALL With the arrival of the first warm breezes in March. the thoughts of many male students turn to baseball, the number one sport in Arkansas during the spring months. One of these students was Marty Scudder. a senior, who played as a rookie during the 1979 season for Kierre Realty. During the 1980 season, he moved to the Martin- McDaniel team. He was a pitcher. - i Spring—47 Getting hit hair trimmed at a local barber shop is sophomore Marc Breedlove. The hair styles for both males and females were much shorter this school year. “The sophisticated look is what it was called and what is being modeled by junior Beth McCloy. It was a popular style of dress for weekend dates. Those baggy pants, which had been popular ii the late 1940's, were back. Senior Calvin Bufon wears a pair, complete with a V-neck sweater Add-a-bead necklaces were seen often around the necks of female students. The high prices of gold caused many to put their necklaces aside. It could cost as much as $4,000 to complete one. such as David Williams. Boots were not just for cowboys anymore. They were worn frequently by both male and female students. During the summer, one-piece sw imming apparel was the choice of female students, such a junior Romona Simpson and senior Thelma Douglas. Though they contained less materia than dresses, swimming suits could cost as much as $70 or $80 at department stores 48—Fashions TEEN FASHIONS bearing fashionable dresses for lale spring and summer wear are senior Thelma Xiuglas and junior Romona Simpson Skirts and dresses replaced slacks for I’eckend dates. The cost of a good dress ranged around the S50 mark. Just about everything gets okay when it comes to teen fashions Just about anything and everything was in style for teenagers during the 1979-80 school year, as long as it pro- duced a clean look.” One could see a girl wearing styles from the early 1940’s to the late 1960 s. Old sweaters with padded shoulders and hats with nets were considered to be “in style” for teens. Old- fashioned dresses and straight skirts were also popular. Jeans were seen often; however, they were not just Levis (as had been the case in previous years), but they had such world- famous fashion names as Calvin Klein, Sassoon, and Gloria Vanderbilt. Male students were seen just as often in dressy” pants as in jeans. Sports coats were popular, even when worn with jeans. For casual wear, both males and females often chose the college prep look” (a shirt with button-down collars, light colored dress pants, a sweater, and a pair of loafers). In the shoe department, one could see female classmates wearing cowboy boots, loafers, pumps, china dolls, and saddle oxfords. Males opted for cowboy boots, loafers, or Hush Puppies. Hair was shorter and gold jewelry was in, for both males and females. But, regardless of what a student chose to wear to school or outside school, it was evident that the student wanted a clean look.” meaning that the clothing must be clean, hair must be kept in place, and shoes must be polished. Students cared about their appearance. At the base of one of the school's flag poles, junior Chris Balenko kids around with friends. She wears casual-type clothing that was popular with females for school wear. The clean look is found in the everyday clothing worn by senior Tony Binns and junior Kelly Alworth. Fashions—49 50 State's 'best' student! At an assembly, student body president Roosevelt Thompson makes the introduc- tions. Active in numerous student and community affairs, Thompson also found time to maintain a straight-A average, something fesv students ever achieve. Undoubtedly, senior Roosevelt Thompson was the state’s best-known high school student during the 1979-80 school year. He was the subject of regular news and feature stories numerous times in statewide newspapers and on television. Thompson, who was student body president, made the state’s highest scores on the exams that determined the semifinalists in both the National Merit Scholarship Program and the National Achievement Scholarship Program. He gained the unofficial title of Arkansas’ smartest student.” Thompson advanced to the finals in both of these scholarship competitions. In addition, he was the state winner of the Century III Leaders Scholarship Program, winning a $1,500 grant and a trip to the national meeting in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. He was a national winner in the National Council of Teachers of English Writing Achievement Awards com- petition. He was the school’s winner of the Daughters of American Revolution Cood Citizenship Award. He won state and national awards in journalism contests. And, as the PIX was going to press, he was among the finalists in the Presidential Scholars Program. No other student at Central High School has ever achieved the state and national recognition that has been accorded Roosevelt Thompson, who is known to his classmates as “Rosey.” Like many others, Thompson found that speeding on city streets didn’t pay. Here, he and Tiger editor Sarah Hudson attend driver’s school sponsored by City Traffic Court. In the office provided Student Council, Thompson fulfills his duties as student body president in arranging for a stu- dent bus to one of the Tigers' out-of-town football games.

HONORS Students win 'distinctions' in competitions fof themselves as well as fof theif school Almost daily some student or group of students won an honor in a local, state, regional, or national competition. The school took great pride in these honors won in competitions. The awards were a reflection both on those who won them and on the school, which had educated the students. To provide additional recognition to students who won awards, the school hosted an Honors Convocation in May that was so lengthy that it had to be divid- ed into two sessions—one in the morning and one in the evening. These awards ranged from national winners in scholarship competitions to national winners in writing contests and from state winners in athletic com- petitions to local winners in art con- tests. It was generally agreed throughout the state that Central High students won more awards in competitions than did the students at any other state high school. The PIX. because of limited space, could picture only a few of the awards (Continued to Page 52.) National Merit finalists for the 1979-80 school year were, bot- tom row. Donna Baxter. Sarita Hudson, and Sarah Hudson; and, top row. Kenneth (Bud) Perry. Roosevelt Thompson, Doug Allen. and Johnny Miller. Honors—51 MORE HONORS Students win cash, scholarships, plaques in various competitions (Continued from Page 51.) on these pages. The awards are represen- tative of those that students won in the different areas of competition. In winning local, state, regional, and national competitions, the students received different types of recognition, ranging from cash awards to college scholarship grants and from plaques or trophies to certificates. A school is only as good as its students, one school official said. When our students can enter national competi- tions and compete favorably with those from schools with a national reputation for excellence, then we know that our school is a good one.” The awards that Central students won in competitions did not go unnoticed by college recruiters. More than 100 representatives from the nation's major colleges and universities visited Central this school year. Showing their unites are these students, who won first plate awards in the Arkansas Language Festival contests. ‘lite students and their areas are, bottom row. Melanie Mathis.

The three are Sarah Hud- son. Douglas Allen, and Donna Baxter. To lx- included in the Top Ten is something many students dream of achieving, but seldom ever do. Special recognition is given to those named to tire Top Ten. “Top Ten seniors Kim Waller. Marca Cay. and Ann Miller do some studying in the library. In addition to having either perfect or almost perfect grades from the ninth grade through the first semester of their senior year, all of those in this school year's Top Ten were active in student affairs. Top ten seniors! To graduate among the “Top Ten” is a goal that many students begin attempting to achieve at the start of the ninth grade. For. in determining the “Top Ten” of each graduating class, the grades are computed from the ninth grade through the twelfth grade. At the end of the first semester, the Top Ten” students were Douglas Allen, Donna Baxter, Car- rie Boone. Marca Gay, Sarah Hud- son. Sarita Hudson. Etta Madden, Ann Miller. Roosevelt Thompson, and Kim Waller. Four of the ten were tied for No. 1 in the class, which had an enroll- ment of 487 at the end of the first week of classes. The four were Carrie Boone, Sarita Hudson, Etta Madden, and Roosevelt Thompson. Only the rankings of those ranked No. 1 are revealed by the school's registrar, Mrs. Mary Sulina. To be ranked No. 1 in the graduating class is considered the highest academic honor that a stu- dent can achieve. Mrs. Sulina noted that it is probably the first time in the history of the school to have four students tied for the No. I ranking. It has been rare to have either two or three tied for the top ranking,” she said. Honors—53 END OF SCHOOL YEAR JVtay 29 is a 'red lettef’ day! It marks thc start of vacation! Most students greet the close of the school year with mixed emotions. The 1979-80 school year—which, in the words of Acting Principal Gene Hooks, was a great one” for Cen- tral—was no exception. Both happiness and sorrow were evident when classes end- ed on Thursday, May 29, for the start of summer vacation. There was happiness in knowing that there would be no more homework for three months. There was sorrow in knowing that you would never see some of your classmates again; that they would be leaving for distant places. Even before students could empty the building, construc- tion workers were converging on the school, preparing to do extensive renovation on the building. The halls would not be silent this summer. Door to classrooms won't lx locked for tin- summer on the final day of classes since numerous construction workers will be at the school to do renovation work, the first major renovation work since the building was constructed. 54—End of Year As is traditional, many Central seniors, such as the group above, will pack their bags following commencement and head for Florida, where they can rest and forget about all the problems of school.

Approximately 50 clubs functioned for the benefit of students—clubs that ranged from honor groups to spec'll in- terest groups and from service groups to departmental groups. The clubs not only benefited their members, but many of them served vital functions in the school and community. Most students were members of at least two of the organizations.

As the year neared its end, Thompson said he felt the Council had achieved this goal.

For example, the Madrigals per- formed at the school's Open House in October, in the rotunda of the State Capitol during the Christmas holidays, and at several all-student assemblies. The Madrigals also competed at the regional and state choral festivals, gaining the highest ratings (superior) at these events. Highlighting the year for the Varsity- Choir were two performances in May—one in a concert open to the general public and one at commence- ment for the graduating seniors. Any student who had a desire to learn music was permitted to join the Varsity Choir, which met daily. Serving as president of the Madrigals was senior Alvin Turner.

Bullard was responsible for photographs appearing in the FIX yearbook and Tiger newspaper. I imagine I spend at least 40 hours each week in taking and printing pictures for the PIX and Tiger. Bullard said. Publications get benefit of work done by group The most active club at Central during the 1979-80 school year was probably the smallest club at school. It was the Photography Club. Members of the club were responsible for providing pictures used in the PIX yearbook, the Tiger newspaper, and the Tiger Eye pictorial magazine. In addi- tion, members contributed to Labyrinth literary magazine. President of the club was Jeff Bullard, a junior, who was also chief photographer for the PIX and Tiger. Since the members worked with each other on a daily basis, usually including weekends, there were no formal meetings of the group. Printing a picture for the Tiger newspaper is junior James Carter. The blurred image was a result of a 15 second exposure using only darkroom safe lights. JEFF BULI.ARD JAMES CARTER BOBBY DUCKWORTH ROBERT HOFFMAN BII.I.

Student newspaper goes weekly For the first time since it was establish- ed in 1894, the Tiger began publishing on a weekly basis this school year. Previously, the Tiger had been publish- ed every other week. “We felt that a weekly newspaper would allow us to present more current news.” senior Sarah Hudson, editor, said. It has been harder on the staff in meeting weekly deadlines, but I feel that it has benefited the school. Only a few of the nation’s high school newspapers appear on a weekly basis. As had been the case during the previous four years, the Tiger was again distributed without charge to all students and faculty members. It was the second consecutive year for the Tiger staff to set print for its publica- tion and to do paste-ups. The staff used a $21,000 phototypesetting system pur- chased by the Journalism Department during the previous school year. The Tiger was printed by students enrolled in printing at Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center. When first semester issues of the Tiger were judged All-American in the semi- annual newspaper competition of the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association, it became the 40th consecutive time for the newspaper to win the title, longer thar any other high school publication in the nation. Assistant editor was Roosevelt Thomp- son. managing editor was Marty Scuddcr sports editor was Tonya Preston, anc business manager was Scott Kuykendall.

One of these newer methods” was changing the layout style so that more pictures could lx used on each page. Another change was doing away with the traditional “Honors Section” and incorporating coverage of students who won honors in other sections. Three co-editors supervised production of the 1980 PIX. The three were Regina Curry. Michelle Howard, and Kelly Kirby, all seniors. The staff worked with a $24.000 budget. “Our biggest problem was with staff members who came in at the first of the year and did not realize the vast amount of work that had to lx done,” Kel- ly Kirby said. “A few staffers refused to do work on the book after school hours, creating additional work for other staffers.” Mr. Charles Lance was adviser for the PIX.

And, judging from the sports program offered by the school during the 1979-80 school year, this tradi- tion of winning state titles will continue for many years. When the first major sports championship title was decided this school year. Central was the easy winner. The title came in cross country. In football. Central played Hall for the state cham- pionship title on Thanksgiving Day. However, the Tigers did something they seldom do. They lost, pro- viding Hall with the state title. But. regardless of the sport (cross country, football, basketball, track, volleyball, swimming, golf, etc.). Cen- tral's Tigers are tested competitors. Addin two points for the Tigers in a game with the Catholic High Rockets is forward Paul Marks. .JiR 117 Coaching staff gains two more assistants At a banquet honoring Tiger football players, guest speaker Mr. Lou Holtz, coach of the University of Arkansas Kazorback football leant, gets help front student body president Koosevell Thompson in doing a trick.

After having top state ranking most of season, Tigers fall in final game to Hall High Warriors Entering into its final game of the season with the Hall Warriors, the Tiger football team was ranked No. 1 in all major state polls, an honor that the team had enjoyed throughout most of the season. However, when the game with Hall ended, the Tigers were the losers, 17-0. The conference loss dropped Central to third place in the state polls. Hall captured the top rank- ing and the state championship title following the victory. The Tigers closed the season with a 9-1-1 overall record and a 6-1-1 AAAAA conference record. Hall ended the season with a 10-1-0 overall record and a 7-1-0 conference record. Hall was winner of the conference title and Central was the runner-up. During the previous season, the Tigers had won the state championship title, posting a 9-0-3 season record. Despite finishing third in the state polls and second in the AAAAA conference, the Tigers had more players to win post-season honors than any other high school team in Arkansas, something that was indeed pleasing to head coach Bernie Cox.

In fact, the team usually did not begin playing serious ball until the second half, something that probably put some wrinkles on the face of coach Boone and assistant coach Ray Scogin.

Two training teams offer some fan excitement There were two basketball teams, in addition to the varsity squad, that offered some excitement for loyal fans who gathered to watch each of their games. These two teams were the junior varsity squad (sometimes called the B-team) and the sophomore squad. The junior varsity team posted a 17-5 record during the season. Their games were played before the varsity games. The sophomore team had a 6-8 record. The team played other sophomore teams from schools in the Little Rock area. Both teams were coached by Raymond Scogin. who was also assis- tant coach for the varsity team, coached by Eddie Boone. The two teams were used primarily as “training teams,” providing game experience to future varsity players. Several members of the junior varsity saw frequent action on the varsity squad, including junior Dennis Nutt and junior Anthony Baker. The two teams were not members of a conference and did not com- pete for any titles.

Seven ‘minor’ sports draw student interest Minor Sports— 153 In addition to the school's four major sports (football, basketball, track, and cross country), there were seven minor sports that gained wide participation from students. These seven sports were volleyball, bowling, soccer, swimming, golf, tennis, and gymnastics. Volleyball was a fall sport. Soccer had two seasons—one in the fall and one in the spring. The other sports were played in the spring. Under the supervision of Mrs. Louise Starling, instructor of physical education, the volleyball team posted a 2-8 season record. Despite the losing season, the team gained wide student support, which was very pleasing to the team. according to Mrs. Starling. Soccer became a school-sponsored sport only during the spring semester. Previously, it had not been recognized by school authorities even though students had formed a team that represented the school in area competitions. During the fall season, the unofficial” team posted a 5-5-1 overall record. During the second semester, the team was coached by Mr. George Nelson, instructor of social studies.

Minor Sports—155 1980 Hall of Fame Athletics Hall Names Ten Tiger Athletes For Displaying Superior Abilities Ten Tiger athletes were accepted for induction into the 1980 Hall of Fame for the superior abilities that they had displayed in Tiger sports while at Central. It is the largest number of athletes inducted in any single year since the Hall of Fame was established in 1968. The ten and the sports in which they were cited are Jay Adams, track; Robin Carr, track; Thelma Douglas, volleyball; Milton Fields, football; Rodney Hayes, football; Kristi Herndon, gymnastics; Paul Marks, basketball; Danny Nutt, football; Tony Ridgle, football; and Bert Zinamon, football. All ten are seniors. Selection to the Hall of Fame is considered the highest non-academic honor that the school can bestow on a student, according to acting principal Mr. Gene Hooks, chairman of the faculty committee that selected the new inductees for the Hall. We are extremely pleased with all of the athletes who were chosen for induction since they have brought honor not only to themselves but to their school during their suc- cessful athletic competitions,” he said. Any student could make a nomination for the Hall of Fame. Nominees could come from any grade level; however, only seniors have ever been inducted. Under guidelines of the selections committee, the committee itself can make a nomination in each of the three categories of the Hall. The committee exercised this right by making one nomination in the area of athletics. All total, twenty-four students were selected for induction into the Rail of Fame for 1980. In addition to the ten students chosen in the area of athletic achievements, there were four chosen for achievements in academics and ten chosen for their ser- vice to the school and community. The Hall of Fame is supervised by the Journalism Department.

If a student leaves Central High School without a proper educa- tion. the only person who can Ik blamed is the student himself. Central High School probably makes a lietter effort to educate each student than does any other high school in the state, according to an official with the State Department of Kducation. Central has the most extensive curriculum of a high school in Arkansas, it has an ample numl er of counselors to assist students with problems, in school, it has a peer counseling program that is designed to aid students who feel they could do Ix-tter academical!) in school, and it has dedicated teachers with well-equipped classrooms. To insure quality education in each classroom, members of the faculty work together to overcome common problems, such as stu- dent apathy, and to insure that interesting, educationully-sound teaching methods are used in the classrooms. To determine the suc- cess of the school, the Guidance Department annually conducts follow-up surveys of graduates. We want our students to leave Central with an education that will allow them to enter the job market or to compete favorably in the college of their choice.

Mr. Mascm designed an elaborate plan to halt white flight” that the Board accepted and put into opera- tion. It was predicted that the plan, which gained national attention, would work. Mr. Mascm and his staff also presented numerous other programs to the Board—programs designed to upgrade the educational programs in the District. He and his staff also supervised major renovation pro- grams planned at several of the District's schools, including Cen- tral. A native of New York, Mr. Mascm completed his second year as superintendent. Serving as president of the School Board was Mr. Vance Jones. The vice president was Mr. Robert “Skip Henry.

Dr. Morris Holmes resigned his position as Central's principal to take a high position in the State Department of Education. As a result of his work at Central, Dr. Holmes has gained national prominence. Holmes resigns to take position at State Education Department On August 17, Dr. Morris Holmes resigned his position as principal of Central to become associate director of the Arkansas State Department of Education. Though he resigned his position at Central. Dr. Holmes did not completely sever his relationship with the Little Rock School District. He requested and received from the School Board a one year leave of absence, meaning that he may return to some other administrative position in the District at the start of the 1980-81 school year. The Board named Mr. Gene Hooks as acting principal. Mr. Hooks, who had been one of four vice principals, had once before served the school as acting principal. He was acting principal during the 1977-78 school year when Dr. Holmes took a sabbatical leave. Mr. Hooks, who is popular with both students and faculty, completed his seventh year at Central. Before coming to Central, he had been head basketball coach at Hall High for 12 years. Dr. Holmes had been Central's principal since 1974.

Reading Gains Attention English Department odds special laboratory In an effort to improve the reading skills of students, the English Depart- ment added a reading laboratory to its program this school year. Students reading below the national average on their grade levels spent two hours weekly working in the laboratory. We have been extremely pleased with the progress shown by students assigned to the reading lab. a school official indicated. As has been the case in recent years, teachers in the English Department also emphasized writing. Almost daily, each English student was required to sub- mit some type of writing—paragraphs, three-point compositions, book and movie reviews, research papers, autobiographies, poems, business letters, etc. For the sixth consecutive year, the English Department sponsored a “Write On, Central” competition. The writing competition involved every student and offered cash prizes totaling approximately $500. The money was raised through efforts of the Department, chaired by Mrs. Kaye Taylor. To encourage English students to become more interested in cultural events, the Department organized a Tiger Art Guild (TAG) that sponsored trips to various cultural events in the area. TAG published a monthly calendar that listed these cultural events and secured tickets at discount prices for students wishing to attend any of the events. Courses offered by the Department included creative writing, mass media, literature of the minorities, insights into Afro-American literature, and reading, in addition to three levels of the English courses that students were re- quired to take. An official with the Arkansas State Department of Education said that Cen- tral probably has the strongest high school English program” in the state as evidenced by the showing of Central's students on the English sections of na- tional standardized tests. Gathering a stack of books to be used in writing his required research paper is senior Eddie Martin. Some seniors said they spent as many as 100 hours in doing the research paper, which is con- sidered to be the major project of the year in most of the school's senior English classes.

However, the Board reconsidered its action in mid-September and voted to approve the course. The new German culture course was designed to provide instruction to students .who have a speaking knowledge of the language and who could play musical instruments with the culture of that country, especially music and festivals. The students in the course formed a German band that made numerous public appearances throughout the state and is scheduled to visit during the summer in Germany. In addition to the new German culture course, the Languages Depart- ment offered five levels of Spanish, four levels of French, three levels of German, and two levels of Latin. Students in the Department entered several regional and statewide com- petitions, winning more honors in these competitions than did the foreign languages students at any other high school. roviding individual assistance to students accounted for much of the class time in ic Foreign languages Department.

Foreign Languages—173 i i rv Teachers Change 'Methods' Social Studies' classes become 'interesting' Though textbooks served as the main teaching tool in classes taught in the Social Studies Department, teachers made use of numerous individual, group, and classroom projects that were designed to provide extra knowledge” to students. For example, each psychology student designed and made a square to reflect his or her personality. The squares were sewn together to make quilts which the classes sold. Sociology classes used PIX yearbooks from previous years for a special project, govern- ment classes studied the Arkansas Gazette on a daily basis, several classes took field trips to historical places in central Arkansas, and all of the classes viewed films on various sub- jects and had guest speakers. Almost all of the classes in the Department participated in a special Law Week during early spring. Local lawyers spent a week visiting in the classrooms to lecture students on their rights and responsibilities in a democratic society. “I feel that more learning took place in our classrooms this year than during any of the recent years.” Mr. Jerome Muldrew, Department chairman, said. I contribute this im- proved learning to all of those ’extras' that our teachers did for the benefit of their students.” Courses offered by the Department were American history, world history. American government, American minorities, sociology, and psychology. Social Studies Department chairman Mr. Jerome Muldrew discusses a project with his fifth period sociology class. The project involved the use of past Central High yearbooks.

Designed primarily for those who plan to attend college and major in business, statistics proved popular with those who took it. according to Mrs. Emily Faulkner. Department chair- man. Enrollment in courses offered by the Department showed a sharp increase this school year, causing school of- ficials to place two additional teachers in the Department. There were 13 math teachers this year. The Math Department joined with the Science Department in gaining a computer for use in advanced courses. The Math Department will make more and more use of computers as time passes.” Mrs. Faulkner said. Courses offered by the Department, in addition to statistics, were general math. Math II, Algebra I.

Computer Aids Science Department wants updated equipment Looking to the future, Mrs. Brenda Matthews convinced Central High officials to purchase an Apple II micro-computer for use in Science Department courses this school year. “We've used the computer primarily for demonstration purposes this school year,” Mrs. Matthews, who is Department chairman, said, adding that, hopefully. Central would be able to secure additional com- puter equipment next school year. Mrs. Matthews, who has devoted much of her energies in recent years to making sure that Science Department labs are modern and up-to-date, said computers allow for individualized instruction. This type of computer-aided instruction, which is now used in many high schools throughout the nation, allows a student to go over and over material un- til it is learned,” she said. As had been the case during the previous year. Science Department teachers used the philosophy that students learn best by doing. The students conducted numerous experiments in their classes and took several field trips. Courses offered by the Depart- ment were biology (required of all students), physical science, physics, chemistry, and human physiology. Several of the courses were offered on different levels of instruction. Using the blackboard to solve an equation in their chemistry class arc seniors Sonja Baugh and Mona Seward. Students in the chemistry classes conducted many experiments during the year.

First, the courses aided the students in learning music. Second, the courses formed the nucleus of the school’s various choral and instrumental groups—groups which made numerous public ap- pearances designet! to entertain city residents. The Department was divided into two divisions—a vocal division, headed by Mr. Robert Brack, and an in- strumental division, headed by Mr. Robert Fletcher. Approximately 90 students were enrolled in the vocal division and slightly more than 200 were enrolled in the instrumental division. Within the vocal division, there were three major choral groups—the Madrigals, the Concert Choir, and the Varsity Choir. All three groups made numerous public appearances and all three groups won top honors in competitions with other vocal groups from around the state. There were seven bands and an orchestra functioning in the instrumental division. Mr. Fletcher directed the bands and Mr. Tom McDonald spent one hour daily at Central in directing orchestra students. The bands and the orchestra also made numerous public ap- pearances and were also winners of top awards in com- petitions with other groups from around the state.

Th art students took numerous field trips to view art exhibits and to draw or pa ini landmarks around the city. The talents of the young artists were also in demand. The art students made posters for numerous school and community activities, they painted windows during the Christmas season at several hospitals, and they put on exhibits at various locations around the city. Courses in the Art Department, taught by Mr. Lee Anthony and Mr. Robert McDonald, were basic art. poster design, painting, creative art. and water color. The art students from the various courses competed in several city and statewide competitions during the school year, winning high awards in all of these competitions. Using their brushes, junior Jerry Fillmore and senior Ken Cunningham paint a banner.

The school’s ROTC program, which is one of the oldest in the state, offered three years of instruction. In addition to the classroom instruc- tion. the cadets had the opportunity to take numerous field trips. The field trips were taken to Little Rock Air Force Base. Adams Field, and Camp Robinson. The cadets also served the school and community through a wide range of activities. Cadets who successfully completed three years in the ROTC program could enlist in the Air Force one rank higher than regular enlistees. There were two instructors—Lt. Col. William M. Demint and Sgt. Dale Hart. Gaining valuable training in aerospace technology. ROTC cadets Steve Womack. Ldand Wilson, and Tarn- mie Piggoe—all juniors—work with a flight simulation chart during a class period.

It's Practical Knowledge Students learn 'life' in Home Economics “Students enrolled in classes in the Home Economics Department gain ractical knowledge—knowledge that they can frequently use in today’s ife and knowledge that they probably will most definitely use in omorrow’s life. It is a knowledge that centers around the very core of ife—the family. This was the contention of the teachers in the Home Economics Department, which was chaired by Mrs. Joan Dietz. Students in the sewing class profited from their instruction today by saving money on their clothing bills; they will save even more in future years. In addition to learning about mak- ing a wide variety of foods, students in the cooking classes also learned how to make food budgets. Students learned about life itself in human development, child develop- ment, and adult living. The child development classes work- ed closely with the approximately 70 students enrolled in the school’s kindergarten program. Approximately one-half the students in the Department were males. As a part of his instruction in child development, senior Clarence Allison works with kindergarten student Frederick Watson, providing advice on painting a Thanksgiving turkey. Home Economics—187 Learning Exercise! PhysEd students get instruction in 'taking care of their bodies' Learning to take proper care of their bodies to insure good health both today and in future years’ was a major goal for the Physical Education Department, which was chaired by Coach Bernie Cox. In addition to teaching students a wide variety of sports designed to keep them physically fit. the Department also taught units on drug and alcohol abuse, the effects of smoking, good nutrition, and first aid. Most of the sports taught to students were those classified as lifetime sports,” which are those that students can participate in throughout their lives. Approximately 650 students were enrolled in the physical education classes, which is a slight increase over the previous school year. Students are required to take at least two years of physical education instruction before graduation from high school. However, one year of this instruction may be taken in the ninth grade of junior high school. The Physical Education Department also has the respon- sibility of supervising the school’s extensive male and female varsity sports program. Showing jomc strain, junior Todd Tcsncy lifts 175-pound weights in his physical education class, which consisted of Tiger football players.

Five job programs function in Vocational Department More than 250 students earned money while gaining valuable job skills this school year. The students were enrolled in the school’s five work programs, which were the most popular courses offered by the Vocational Education Department. “These students probably earned around $400,000 this school year.” Mrs. Jo Holt, chair- man of the Department, said. The five work programs were the distributive education program, the industrial cooperative training program, the coordinated careers educa- tion program, the health occupations program, and the cooperative office education program. Those in the work programs attended classes at Central for one-half day and then worked at local jobs the other one-half day. In addition, the Department offered courses in drafting, mechanical drawing, architectural engineering, engineering drafting, woodshop, and distributive lab. Vocational—191 Counselors Improve 'Services' Attempt to get students to look to future No new services were added to the Guidance Department this school year; however, the six counselors in the Department did attempt to improve “old” services, according to Mr. Milton Armstrong, who served as acting chairman of the Department this year while Mrs. Hloisc Fitzpatrick studied for a doctorate degree. The counselors especially attempted to improve services for the seniors. They surveyed the seniors to determine what they felt they needed to know in the way of making plans for col- legi-or to enter the job market immediately upon graduation from high school. Using the in- formation from the survey, the counselors prepared a special bulletin that they distributee! to seniors—a bulletin that answered their numerous questions. The counselors were available to students who wanted to discuss problems, they helped students select the courses they wanted to take, they administered numerous standardized tests and interpreted the scores for students, they aided seniors in gaining admission to col- leges or trade schools, and they arranged for the visit of more than 100 admissions officers from colleges and universities around the nation. Investigating military careers, senior Kobin Holland talks with a Navy recruiter during a visit arranged by the counselors. Uioking at dates of upcoming standardized tests are juniors Kiccu Von Ianulon and Kenneth Kelley. The Guidance Department administered numerous standardized tests during the year. Many of these tests were required for admission to certain colleges. Arranging an appointment with her counselor, sophomore Linda Soma ns talks with Mrs. Betty Riley, secretary in the Guidance Depart- ment. Counselors were always available for student conferences.

Matthews Media Center continued throughout the 1979-80 school year to fill student and teacher requests for materials to sup- plement regular classroom work. More than 17,000 books were housed in the Media Center. In ad- dition, the Media Center had more than 8,000 pamphlets on file, it had more than 1,000 films and filmstrips on various subjects, and it subscribed to 161 magazines and more than a dozen newspapers. The Media Center added another video tape recorder to its exten- sive inventory of audio-visual aids. The video tape recorder proved especially helpful in such classes as speech where the teacher could film a student’s presentation and then allow the student to observe his presentation. Mrs. Elaine Dumas, head librarian, also altered Media Center policies this school year to allow students to check out current magazines and newspapers for overnight periods. “We made every attempt during the year to assist any teacher or student in obtaining a book, magazine, or film that was needed,” Mrs. Dumas said. “We feel that it is the responsibility of the Media Center to serve the educational needs of each and every student.” Students could use the Media Center during their study hall period, during their lunch period, before school, and after school. Mrs. Dumas was assisted by an assistant librarian, an audio- visual coordinator, a secretary, and dozens of student monitors. We feel that we have had an excellent year.” Mrs. Dumas in- dicated. Though It Receives 'Praise' of Educators, Metropolitan Again Drops in Enrollment District begins making plans to upgrade student interest in course offerings of school For the second consecutive year, enrollment at Metropolitan Vocational-Education Center showed a decline. The enrollment at the end of the first week of classes this school year was 1,050, a decrease of 125 over the previous school year’s enrollment of 1,175. Students at Metropolitan spend one-half day at the school, taking vocational or technical courses in classrooms that have been hailed as being among the best equipped in the nation by educational journals. The students take their academic courses at regular high schools the other one-half day. Even though Metropolitan is owned and operated by the Little Rock School District, a large percentage of the students comes from surrounding school districts. Only about 800 of the students are from the Little Rock School District,” a Metro official said. The enrollment decline at Metro, which was open- ed in 1964 with a capacity for 1,500 students, wor- ried School District officials who began making plans to improve the school’s enrollment. “It is possi- ble that we might move some of the honors courses.

We will also add some additional courses. Mr. Raymond Dow completed his eighth year as principal. We feel we have had a very successful year, Mr. Dow said, indicating that the adoption of a new program, “Positive Discipline Approach,” had reduced the number of discipline problems. Of the twenty-four different course programs of- fered at the school, auto mechanics was by far the most popular course. The course programs were varied, ranging from printing to small appliance repair, from elec- tronics to welding, and from horticulture to cosmetology. Metropolitan—199 Hall Committee Taps Four For 'Academic Excellence' Four seniors were accepted for induction into the school’s 1980 Hall of Fame for achievements in the area of academics. The four were Carrie Boone, Sarita Hudson, Etta Madden, and Roosevelt Thompson. All four of the seniors were tied for the Number 1 academic ranking in their class at the start of the 1979-80 school year. They had straight-A averages, something that was considered a major accomplishment since the four were enrolled in honors classes—classes that are much more difficult than the regular classes. In addition to having straight-A averages, the four were also active in numerous student activities and they were winners of numerous honors in local, state, regional, and national competitions. One of the four—Roosevelt Thompson—was considered the state’s “smartest” high school student during the 1979-80 school year after making the state’s highest score on the National Merit Scholarship Quali- fying Test. “We are extremely proud of these four students since their achievements in the area of academics have brought recognition not only to themselves but to the entire school, Mr. Gene Hooks, acting principal and chairman of the Hall of Fame selec- tions committee, said. To be inducted into the Hall of Fame is considered the highest non-academic honor that the school can bestow on a student. The Hall of Fame was created in 1968 by the Journalism Department as a replacement for senior class distinctions. At the time it was created, school officials indicated that the Hall of Fame would allow “deserving and not just popular students” to gain recognition. Distinctions winners arc still selected, but the contest is under the supervision of the senior class officers.

This number included 1,921 high school students, approximately 70 kindergarten students, 113 faculty members, and approximately 150 support workers.” It was the 1.921 high school students, however, that Central was all about. The others were here merely to aid in the educational endeavors of the high school students. Though the students came in different sizes, different colors, dif- ferent sexes, and from different backgrounds, each was an impor- tant individual—an individual who would eventually take a useful role in Little Rock society. And. judging from these individuals, the outlook for Little Rock's future is good. Playing with toys, kindergarten student Bobby Khabeer is all smiles.

We don’t want a single student to leave this school without having this quality •ducation, acting principal Gene Hooks said on numerous occasions. “We want ur students to leave Central and lx able to gain meaningful employment and or to rompete favorably at any of the nation's institutions of higher learning. We also vant them to have the knowledge to lead a meaningful role in society. As had been the case in previous years. Central's faculty was one of the “best rained in a state high school, according to records kept on file by the Arkansas department of Education. Approximately two-thirds of the staff members had ad- vanced degrees or were working toward completion of these degrees. All teachers aught in their specialized fields of study. To keep teachers abreast of the latest teaching methods, the School District had n-service meetings for the teachers on a regular basis. Too. there were monthly acuity meetings at Central as well as frequent departmental meetings. The administrative staff worked closely with teachers in gaining special cquip- nent that they might need to provide instruction in their classrooms. New equip- nent obtained for teachers this school year ranged from a mini-computer for icience and math classes to a video tape recorder for use by any teacher. In addition to their classroom work, most teachers had other school duties, main- y the sponsoring of student clubs. Most teachers were also involved in church and civic affairs. Central's teachers not only make valuable contributions to the com- munity in educating our youths but they also play important roles in other com- munity services,” a Chamber of Commerce official said.

Service Staff gives time to help charities Though most teachers had papers to grade and reports to complete in the evenings, many of them still found time to work on charitable projects. A look at the volunteer list of prac- tically any charitable organization in Little Rock would reveal the names of several teachers. Several teachers worked hundreds of hours during the year as volunteers at area hospitals. For example. Mr. Robert McDonald, instructor of art. worked one or two evenings each week as a volunteer at St. Vincents Hospital. Mrs. Ruth Carter, chairman of the business education department, work- eel several hours weekly at Fort Roots Veterans Hospital. In addition to their time, teachers also gave their money and their blood to chairtable causes. The staff gave ap- proximately $2,000 to United Way in October.

Caring Whether sharing ‘talents’ or helping their country, teachers find satisfaction Teachers did their share during the 1979-80 school year fo make their country a better one. They responded to President Carter’s plea to conserve energy and they shared heir talents with others in the community. A poll of 30 teachers in early December revealed that ?ach of the teachers had cut back on his driving to con- serve gasoline. One teacher (Mr. Al Alvcrson) left his car at pome on clear days and rode his bicycle to school. The teachers were talented in numerous areas and used hesc talents in community affairs. For example, many eachcrs sang in church and community choirs. One eacher (Mrs. Cheryl Shull) danced professionally in a ocal ballet company that presented several performances luring the year. Another teacher (Mrs. Francis Johnson) ised her baking skills to prepare food many times during he year for elderly citizens. Teachers also worked to allow their students to share heir talents. Mr. Dan Proctor worked with a student Gcr- nan band that made many community appearances. Mrs. oan Dietz and her students did a project providing com- nunity information on natal and prenatal care. Dressed in attire normally worn in Germany, Mr. Dan Proctor attends a German festival where the school's German Band played. Mr. Proctor, who sponsored the band, made plans to take it on a tour of Germany during the summer months. 1� conserve gas. Mr. Al Alverson uses his bicycle to come to school, i-sponding to President Carter's plea to conserve energy, practially all achers at Central initiated methods to reduce their energy consumption. Faculty—209 Susy Staff's outside duties provide full schedule For most faculty members, their school work is not limited to the school clay. There are departmental and faculty meetings, parent conferences, teacher conventions, student club activities to chaperone, and—of course—papers to grade and lesson plans to make. Even summer sees many faculty members heading for university cam- puses throughout the nation to gain more education. Many of the teachers also find themselves teaching summer school, either in the Little Rock School District Summer School or in college. 1 don't know of a teacher who keeps a banker's hours,” one of the teachers said. “Teachers put in more than eight-hour work days.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT THOMPSON 212—Student Body RcmiiuiiiiK 'viitr.il students that they are t.k. •rs is this campus landmark, which was carved from ;a 156 year old sweetgum tree that died in 1977. Student Sod Both enrollment, spirit move upward; ‘unbelievable that such a large school commands so much pride, ” Hays says When former U.S. Congressman Brooks Hays visited Central’s campus in the fall, he remarked that it is unbelievable that such a large school commands so much pride from its students. The comment that Hays made came as no surprise. It was a comment that had been made in recent years on all major television networks as their reporters provided a comparison on “today’s Central as comparet! to the Central of 1957 that was the scene of an integration crisis which got international notice. There were more students at Central during the 1979-80 school year than during the previous four years to display their pride in the school. The enrollment for the 1979-80 school year was 1,921. an increase of 83 over the previous school year. Student body president Roosevelt Thompson said that the number one ranking the Tiger football team had in all of the early season state polls helped to get the school year off to a good start. Spirit remained high all year,” he said. School officials also noted that in addition to increased participation in extra- curricular activities, students during the 1979-80 term displayed more interest in their classroom work. A higher percentage of students made the school’s honor rolls than during the previous school year. “I’m convincet! that this school year will be recorded as one of the best school years in the history of Central High.” Thompson said. No other school in Arkansas had a better year than we did.” Student Body—213 214 Seniors School’s smallest class sets pace while having ‘time of their lives’ KEVIN COOPER Though it was the smallest of the three classes at Central, the 487-member senior class set the pace—in academics, in extra-curricular activities, and in having fun. The class lettered more students in sports than did any other class, it had more club presidents than did any other class, it had more straight-A students than did any other class, and it had more activities than did any other class. Sandwiched in among the senior class picnic in late August and com- mencement in late May were such major activities as a class banquet April 18 at Woody’s in North Little Hock and the prom on May 24 at Camelot Inn. And to make sure that future senior classes would not forget the Class of ‘80, the seniors designed and purchased a senior flag, which they proudly displayed at athletic events and pep rallies. Danny Shelton was class president. Considered as otic of the In st toga parlies of the school year was this «me, which was at the home of senior Mark Kane in OctoJx-r. Approximately 80 students attended. Prior to baccalaureate, senior Shirley Jones gets a helping hand from her mother—Mrs. Rosie Coleman—in trying on her cap and gown. Each senior paid $9 for the non-returnable cap and gown. Baccalaureate was in May. Receiv ing graduation gifts is a pleasure for most seniors, including Zora Richard- son. who receives one from an aunt. Officials estimated that the average senior ordered 50 graduation cards that were sent to his friends and families. Senior da� officers were Joy Thompson, secretary; Danny Shelton, president; and Murrv Newbern, vice president. The senior class was the only class that had officers.

Wheels Despite rising price for gas, students say car ownership ranks as their ‘No. 1 ’ goal As had been the case with Little Rock teenagers each year during the past three decades, car ownership was the number one goal for the vast majority of them again this year. And, according to a survey conducted by the Tiger newspaper. 16 per cent of Central's 1,921 students had already reached the goal of owning a car. These students said they had a car that had cither been given to them by their parents or a car that they had purchased or were in the pro- cess of purchasing. Another 28 per cent said they were principal drivers of their family's second car. Seventy-seven per cent of the students said they either had a driver's license or a driver’s permit. Gasoline prices of $ 1 or more a gallon did not seem to deter student interest in cars; however, it appeared that students- like their parents—were buying smaller cars. What worried students most about car ownership were high insurance rates. “Paying an insurance premium of $325 every six months hurts like you know what.” one senior said. Owning and maintaining a 55 Chevy was a source of pride for senior Paul Branscum, who cleans the wind- shield before he leaves home for a Friday night date. Seniors—217 JEAN ETTA BROCK.

Soil C Dad Some say today’s teens have no ‘family ties, ’ but that idea is wrong Many psychologists of today say that strong “fami- ly ties” are disappearing in today's modern society, contending that teenagers have “very little in com- mon with their parents. But. there seemed to be strong “family ties among Central’s student body during the 1979-80 school year. One good example of a strong “family tie” could be found in senior Mark Kane, who joined his father during the summer in entering the local National Equitable Insurance Corporation’s Family Tennis Tournament. Mark and his dad. Mr. David Kane, won the local tournament, traveled to Memphis where they won the district tournament, and then traveled to St. Louis where they won the regional tournament. The Kanes were eliminated in the national tourna- ment in Flushing Meadows. New York. “It was great fun.” Mark said. And, almost all teens could cite recent instances of their families participating in fun activities—ac- tivities that made for strong family ties.” Before they traveled to New York for a national ten nis tournament, senior Mark Kane practice's on t local court with his father.

Campus Inn employees discover that popcorn puts cash in their fund Even though Campus Inn opened a few years after World War II and since then has offered a wide variety of confections and sandwiches, nobody gave much thought to adding a popcorn machine until this school year. With a few School District administrators main- taining that more nutritional foods” and less junk foods should be offered at Campus Inn, Central of- ficials decided to add popcorn, which is often labeled as the “most nutritious snack food available in America today. Selling for 25 cents a bag, popcorn became the second hottest selling item at Campus Inn. Coca-Cola was the number one selling item.

Photos Seniors swap photos amid smiling faces, plus some groaning When seniors began having their official class portraits made in July, they discovered that the School District had awarded the con- tract to a new studio—Davis-Pack Associates. The pictures had been made by Dillard Department Stores Studio for the previous 21 years. The pictures began arriving in September and the swapping began. Seniors swapped photos with their classmates. For the most part, the seniors were satisfied with the pictures, which were sold for much less than they would cost at local studios. However, there were a few seniors who main- tained that they didn’t like their pictures. And, how much did the average senior spend on the pictures? According to records kept by the studio, the average senior spent slightly more than $80. Showing his satisfaction, senior George Walls looks at his of- ficial class portraits, which were made by a new studio this year. They're good pictures and I'm satisfied. Walls said.

(umbefOne: Holding top ranking in football gives ‘good feeling’ to students “It's a gtxxl feeling! “Everybody wants to be number one. When Central is ranked number one over all the other high schools in the state, it makes you proud to be a Central student. “I don't go to the football games, but I'm glad that the Tigers have the state's top ranking. These were but a few of the quotes from seniors in atten- dance at an early morning pep rally prior to the Tiger-North Little Rock Northeast Charger football game, which Central won. 21-3. The Tiger football team was ranked number one in all the major pre-season polls. The Tigers kept this top ranking throughout the regular season in all of the polls, except in the Associated Press poll. They fell to number two in the AP poll for three weeks in mid-season. But. in the final game of the season, the Tigers lost to the Hall Warriors, 17-0. The loss caused the Tigers to drop to third place in the final polls of the year. The number one ranking that Central had most of the season served to unify the student Ixxly. Bit.LIE JENKINS. VIRGIL JENKINS.

Though Little Rock offers a wide variety of entertainment activities, it just isn any fun to be at one of these places if your friends aren’t there.” according to senic Velma Moss. Dances led the list of “favorite activities for dates, according to a survey of social studies class; however, most students admitted that they usually went to th movies or skating because there were few dances that they could attend. Friday night dates cun often pose a challoge in trying to find a place that offers fun and cxcit- ment. (I-eft) Senior Ken- ny Smith and sopho- more Lisa Rogers dance to disco music at a dance in Tiger Field- house. The dance was one of many sponsored during tin year by Stu- dent Council.

Selecting a pot of flowers to send to that someone special in his life is senior Charles Dokes. at right, who receives help from Tor- rence Flower Shoppe employee Rod Torrence, also a senior. FlowcifPowei Even for teens, sending flowers remains as one way to show love “Show you care; send flowers loday!” That was the message that the Florists Transworld Delivery (FTD) Organization used in its advertisements during the winter of 1979-80. It was a message that many teenagers accepted and followed. Twice during the school year, students could buy flowers at school to show they cared for that someone special in their lives. Flowers were sold at school for Homecoming and for Valentine's Day. Local florists said that the sale of flowers to teenagers accounted for a large percentage of their business. Though most adults seem to follow pat- terns in purchasing flowers, such as at Christmas and Easter, teenagers seem to have no particular pattern, according to one florist, who said the flowers were usually purchased for no other reason than to say, “I really do love you.” DARRELL OLIVER.

Seniors—229 Legally Tripping Field trips from various classes break boredom of school while providing knowledge not available from textbooks Some classes did it” more than others. Most students thought “it” was a fun activity; a few thought that it” was just another way of forcing them to learn. “It was field trips. Dozens and dozens of places in the Little Rock area were visited on field trips at various times during the year by students. Classes in the Art and Home Economics Departments probably took more field trips during the year than all other classes combin- ed. However, the curriculums in these two departments are, to a large extent, built on these field trips. “Field trips are perhaps the best educational tool that we have in some of our classes, such as child development,” Mrs. Joan Dietz, chairman of the Home Economics Department, said. Field trips allow us to show our students what we are teaching. It is practical education.” Students taking the field trips usually travel- ed by school bus, meaning that they were not required to pay anything for transportation. How many field trips did the average student take during the year? “Probably two or three,” one school official said. Advanced biology students Lamonda Ford. Sarita Hudson, and Joy Thompson listen as an instruc- tor at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Campus explains the mechanics of an electron microscope. Numerous classes took field trips to various places in the city during the school year. JAMES PATTON, Bands 10. II; Track II. 12; Football Manager 11. 12; Basketball Manager II. 12. RETHA PATTON.

Shaping Up Teens find many ways to keep bodies in shape Medical authorities in Little Rock said several times during the year that the vast majority of teenagers in the city were physically fit and that only a few could be classified as needing more physical activity. That came as no surprise to students at Central. Students believed that sports activities could be fun as well as important to physical fitness. Most students participat� ! in a wide variety of sports ac- tivities, ranging from soccer to swimming, from hik- ing to skating, and from bicycling to tennis. These activities were not organized by the school; they were activities that the students enjoyed doing. I play soccer and do lots of bicycling,” senior Bill Wilson said. I know they provide good exercise, but I do them mainly because they are fun. 232—Seniors SUSAN D.

Partying Saturday night fever means visiting a home for ‘a little partying’ “Where’s the party tomorrow night?” There was a good chance that a student would tear this question several times each Friday. And, vhen the telephone rang on Saturday afternoon, here was also a good chance that the student vould hear the voice on the other end ask, ‘Where’s the party tonight?” For many students, partying” at somebody’s tome was the best way to spend a Saturday night. “A party means being with your friends in a elaxing atmosphere, senior Regina Curry said. Usually, you don't have some adult breathing ►ver your shoulder, telling you to ’cool it’ or star- ng you down. Partying is just lots of fun. There were numerous parties on any Saturday light. In fact, if a student did a little searching, he ould find a party on just about any night of the feck. The number in attendance at a home party sually ranged from 30 to 50, often providing tit- le more than shoulder room. The more, the bet- � r,” Regina said, adding that small parties were small in fun.” It's party time for a largo group of students who gather at the home of junior class senator Kristi Criffith. The party was in honor of another junior. Julie Griep, who moved away from Little Rock. The reason for most parties, however, was simply for having a little fun.” Seniors—235 Parenting Most students get some valuable training in ‘parenting’ through class instruction or kindergarten observation “Parenting units” were words that school officials used to describe classroom teaching units on raising children. These units were, in the opinion of school officials, practical instruc- tion—“instruction that should prove valuable to practically all of our students in the years to come. For some students, however, the instruction on parenting” was ap- plicable to the present. Approx- imately 65 students were already parents. Parenting” was primarily taught in classes in the Home Economics Department, which also operated a kindergarten program. Several classes in the Home Economics Department worked daily in the kindergarten, gaining firsthand” information on five- year-olds. I've learned lots about kids by working in the kindergarten, senior Velma Moss said. “I think I will be a better parent because of my work there. A school official said he felt it is just as important to teach students to be successful in “parenting roles as it is to teach students a skill that will allow them to gain future employment. To gain knowledge on parenting. senior Steve Manes works with kindergarten student Quincy Releford making a necklace. The scluxd operated a kindergarten program that was used by classes in the Hon Economics Department to acquaint tlieir students with the roles that successful parents must play. BEVERLY WARD.

Seniors—237 Though da� rings could lx- ordered at Central, many juniors—such as Scott Connerly and Mark Shelton—also checked out the prices of the rings at local jewelry stores. Class rings averaged costing $78 each this school year. 238 Juniors Even though they were ‘in-betweens, ’ eleventh graders don’t take back seats Juniors were often called the “in-betweens. Some juniors thought they were the “forgotten class” because school attention seemed to be focused on acquainting sophomores with school procedures and in handling traditional senior activities. But. juniors made their presence known. Many of the 601 students in the class had leadership roles in student clubs and in athletics. They were active in every facet of school life. Highlighting the year for the juniors was the arrival of their senior class rings toward the end of the first semester. Almost all juniors had one thing in common before the school year ended. Each had read and studied The Scarlet Ixrttcr by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Here, students enrolled in Mrs. Betty Freeland's sixth period class devote part of their class period to reading a chapter in the novel before taking an examination on it.

Wild! Large number of students, including many juniors, enjoys ‘return to nature’ On just about any weekend of the year, including those when the temperature hovers at the freezing level, a visit into the wooded areas surrounding Little Rock will reveal a large number of hikers, including Central students. One of the most avid hikers during the 1979-80 school year was junior Mary Weeks who said that hiking is both enjoyable and good exercise.” Few people, too, enjoy nature as much as do hikers, Mary said. When you’re hiking, you begin to notice the different plants and animals. Each hike is a new ex- perience because you see different things.” One of the favorite locations of hikers in the Little Rock area was nearby Pinnacle Mountain State Park, which of- feret! some steep terrain and some spectacular views of the Arkansas River valley. Though no equipment was needed for short hikes, most hikers bought a wide variety of hiking equipment, in- cluding backpacks, water bottles, first aid kits, etc., which were available at local sports stores. Using her arms to did in balancing herself, junior Mary Weeks walks across a log to get across a stream while on a hike. She was but one of numerous students who became hiking enthusiasts this school year. TONY COOK RHI-riTA COOPER MIKE CORNETT CHERYI.

Poetry is their hob- by. Many more of our students write poetry than most people believe,” one English teacher said. The number of students who submit poetry to the school's literary magazine is evidence that quite a few students enjoy writing poetry.” One of those students who enjoyed writing poetry was junior Susan Russell, who said writing poetry was an interesting way to spend an even- ing. It also helps to broaden the mind,” she added. Susan had a poem published in an English journal during the year. Reading and writing poetry is junior Susan Russell’s hobby.

Most of these students were enrolled in the school's newest class, dance theatre, which em- phasized the study of ballet. Three of the students in the class, plus the instruc- tor, Mrs. Cheryl Shull, who also taught speech, were classified as professional dancers.

STRICKLAND Santa Thoughts of Yule bring excitement to hearts of teens Though no high school students believe that there is a little ole man who lives at the North Pole and dons a red suit on Christmas Eve to deliver toys to all the good little boys and girls, Christmas still causes the hearts of these teens to leap with joy. For the approximately 99 percent of Cen- tral’s student body who are of the Christian faith, Christmas is the most exciting holiday period of the year. And. Little Rock School Board members recognize the importance of Christmas to these students and their parents by providing the longest vacation period of the year for this holiday. Students received a two-week vacation from their classes. What do students like most about Christmas? Just about each student has a different answer. Some mention the gifts, some men- tion the food, some mention visiting relatives whom they seldom see during the year, and many mention the religious significance. Preparing (or Christmas, junior Keith Buford purchases a Christmas tree that he feels will lx ap- propriate for his family's living room. Of all holidays during the year.

Though most students were serious about their school work—especially during those weeks nearing the end of grading quarters, all students found time both at school and away from school to have some fun moments. One of those “fun moments” for junior Shannon Murphy came on her 17th birthday when she was surprised with a Sing-a-Gram in her Algebra II class. The Sing-a-Gram representative, clad in uniform, came into class and sang Happy Birthday” to a surprised Shannon.

Juniors—251 Sophomores Adjustment to school’s routines causes headaches for only a few of the 833 enrolled in tenth grade Even before the school year had officially begun, school officials began making efforts to acquaint the 833 incoming sophomores with Central’s policies and routines. This was accomplished through an orientation assembly and a dance. And, when classes began, the school continued to work closely with the sophomores to make sure their transition from junior high life to high school life was a smooth one. Only a few of the sophomores found the transition a tough one. Though it was the largest of the three classes at Central, the sophomore class was the most inactive one. It had the smallest percentage of students in student organizations and on the quarterly honor rolls. “Total adjustment to high school life takes time,” Mrs. Othello Faison, sophomore vice prin- cipal, said, explaining this has been the case with all sophomore classes. Sophomore discover early in the school year that Central is often featured on television as thes attend a pep rally filmed by the National Educational Television Network for a documcntar) on former Congressman Brooks Hays, a key figure in the school's 1957 desegregation crisis. Waiting his cue to begin filming, a National Educational Television Network cameraman watches students arrive for a pep rally that was being filmed for a television documentary. That first day of classes can be a long, tedious one as sophomores Louis Crycr and Matthew Lee quickly learn while completing necessary registration forms. There were 833 sophomores who enrolled at Central for the 1979-80 school year.

It's difficult to call a new friend if you don’t have one of the student telephone directories.” sophomore Kari Shepard said. The directories also proved useful to club presidents in contacting students, in- cluding sophomores, for committee work or merely to remind them of an upcoming meeting. In addition to names and telephone numbers, the directory contained the ad- dresses. homeroom numbers, and grade classifications of all students. It also pro- vided the telephone numbers of the various offices and departments as well as pictures of early fall activities around campus. Students who paid the $18 publications fee received a copy of the directory. A few extra copies were available for $2 each. In early December, students who have paid the school’s $18 publications fee line up in the Journalism Department to receive the student telephone directory. The publication was popular with most students. Sophomores—255 A warm after- noon provides a good time for sophomores Na- than Gay and Rob Bass to play ping-pong. Ping-Pong When sophs can’t legally drive cars, they find ‘neighborhood recreation’ Many students enter their sophomore year under the age of 16, which is the minimum age for obtaining an unrestricted driver’s license in Arkansas. “Being unable to drive means- staying at home or in your neighborhood more than you’d like,” sophomore Hob Bass said. However, it isn’t completely “the pits” when a high school student doesn't have transportation. There are others students in the neighborhood who are usually in the same position. joining together with these students can provide some in- teresting hours of recreation, such as playing ping-pong, sandlot football, one-on-one basketball, or merely talking about those millions of things that teens have to talk about. I guess, though, one of the happiest moments in anybody’s life is when he gets his driver’s license,” Bass said. A driver’s license means freedom.

Rarely did a weekend pass unless there was a Little Rock area play that involved youths. In fact, there were two thespian com- panies for youths—the Arkansas Arts Center Children’s Theatre and the Arkan- sas Childrens Theatre. The state's best-known youthful actor was a Central High sophomore—George Newborn. For the past three years, he has had lead roles in many major productions at the Arkansas Arts Center Children’s Theatre. Several of these productions went on tour of other states. ’’Acting is a great profession,” Newbern said. It gives you a good feel- ing to know that other people are enter- tained by your work. I've enjoyed every minute of my theater work. Before the opening of “Hans Brinkcr and the Silver Skates in which he had the lead role, sophomore George Newbern receives some advice from Mr. Greg Schrimpf. production manager. Newbern was the state's best-known youthful actor, having filled major roles in many Arts Center Children's Theatre plays.

T esearch Sophs experience research in library for English papers Most sophomores got their first taste of doing research papers this year. Like anything else dealing with taste, they viewed the research papers with mixed emotions. I guess I spent about 30 hours in the library doing the actual research, about 10 hours in organizing, and another 10 hours in the actual writing,” one sophomore said. The research papers were required by English teachers, who indicated that it ”is good exposure to l oth library work and in-depth writing.” The teachers provided students with a general topic and then allowed them to select a specific topic of their own choosing for the papers. For instance, a general topic might be Arkansas” and a specific topic might be “The History of Cotton Farming in Arkansas.” The papers were done during the third grading quarter.

Those who were found to have vision problems were told to consult an op- tometrist or ophthalmologist. “Lots of times those students who need glasses are not aware of it.” one school official said. “They think they can sec as well as the next person, even though they can't.” “Gosh, I thought I was going blind when they told me I might have a vi- sion problem,” one sophomore said. “I didn't know I wasn't seeing things other people could see.

Pals Despite large enrollment of Central, it’s easy for students to make friends Friendships are important. And, many people say that smaller schools are better than larger schools, such as Central, because it is easier to form friendships 'in the smaller schools. They contend, too, that there is a friendlier atmosphere in the smaller schools. It just aint so. though! Because of Central’s large enrollment, it becomes easy for a student to form a friendship with other students who share his or her interests. For example, a student who likes to fly can make friends with similar interests. A student who col- lects snakes can also make friends with similar in- terests. Visitors to Central quickly notice that it is dif- ficult to walk through the halls without hearing a couple dozen people say, “Hi!” A student would have to work extra hard at it to attend Central and not make lots of friends.” student body president Roosevelt Thompson said.

Though Little Rock may be small according to the nation's definition for major cities, it is the largest city in Arkansas and, therefore, serves as the business center for the state. Because of the nation's energy problems that have caused major industries to move to the nation's Sun Belt” and because of shifting population patterns. Little Rock is rapidly expanding. Its 165,000 population at the end of 1979 is expected to double by the end of the present century. Central High plays a unique roll in Little Rock. Its students of today are the people who will run the businesses of tomorrow. Its students of today con- tribute to the economy as consumers; they will contribute even more in the future. Recognizing the role of Central High’s student body, Little Rock's businesses have purchased ads in the following pages, either to call attention to their mer- chandise and services or merely to show their appreciation for the important role that Central High plays in the community. Little Rock businesses welcome student accounts. Most businesses provide numerous customer ser- vices. ranging from cash checking privileges to charge accounts. Friendly service is still the key word to doing business in the Little Rock area, a Chamber of Commerce bulletin proclaims. From throughout Arkansas, people come to Little Rock to do their shopping. Little Rock is the state’s largest city in addition to serving as its State Capitol.

But, I think some of the energy sav- ing measures are stupid. The law that requires high schools to turn ther- mostats down to 65 degrees during the cold months is a law that should be changed. It is too cold in the classes at 65 degrees to do school work. It should be at least 70 degrees. We can save energy in other ways. Central is such an old building and in such poor condition that when it is 65 degrees in one place, it is 55 degrees in another place.

Most of my teachers were good enough to give me assignments to do at home so I wouldn't lose credits. I returned to classes January 7. 1 kept my job at K-Mart while going to school because I needed the money. I guess I could have asked for state or federal financial aid. but I didn’t want to. My Mom was good enough to take care of Andre while I went to school during the day and worked in the evening. With the birth of Andre, I found every minute of the day filled. Most teens could go home and watch television or talk on the telephone, but I found myself getting home from work around 9:30 and rushing to take care of Andre and do my school work.

However, if some women are able to fight and they want to fight, they should be allowed to join the military and have equal status with men.

First United Methodist Church 723 Center Street Phone 372-2256 Outlooks SENIOR SKIP DAY Last school year the seniors were harassed for continuing the tradition of senior skip day. After 12 years of continous learning and involvement in school, it is our right to have an activity day. It should be counted as an absence on the 15-day policy, but there should be no effort by school officials to stop it. Most other schools in Arkansas have some type of senior activity. Lots of them even have senior trips. Seniors at Central need a day for remembrances and a day to enjoy their senior class for one last time. The faculty sure gets together on their last day for a lun- cheon. You don't hear students complain. MRS. JOYCE ARICK The students of Mrs. Joyce Arick's first period Ac- counting I class would like to extend their appreciation for her support and adherent belief in the betterment of higher education. During the past school year, she has exemplified the true traits of a concerned and dedicated teacher. We are especially fortunate to have attained such a fine educator, responsive to today's needs of students.

There is no excuse for the vandalism that takes place during school and during night activities. This could partly be stopped if we could get responsible monitors to patrol the area during their study hall periods. As for the events at night, we have paid policemen to help with this problem; however, they usually seem to end up watching the ac- tivities. such as the foot- ball and basketball games. If vandalism con- tinues. there will be few students and parents at- tending any of the Tiger athletic events. VONDA P. THOMAS CONGRATULATIONS! We offer our congratulations to Vonda P.

Editors’ Closing—331 A quick look at Central's 1979-80 school year “Another good year! That’s the way that most ad- ministrators. teachers, and students sum- marized the 1979-80 school year at Cen- tral High School. As had l een the case in previous years, students at Central gained more awards in state and national competitions than did the students at any other state high school. There were few discipline problems and. it was generally agreed, students “on the whole worked diligently in their classes to achieve acceptable grades Highlighting the year was the proposed renovation of Central High. After months of indecision by the Little Hock School Board, it was finally decided in November to issue $5.5 million in bonds to renovate Central, a building that has had no extensive work done on it since it was constructed 52 years ago. However, after much planning, no finance companies bid on the bonds when they went on sale in March. The reason was cited as a state law that limits the tax- free interest rate on the bonds to eight per- cent. The Board made some changes in the bond issue in hopes of attracting bidders; however, as the PIX was going to press, it had not been determined if bidders wanted the revised bonds. Just before the start of the school year. Dr. Morris Holmes resigned his position as principal of Central to become associate director of the Arkansas State Department of Education. The School Board appointed Mr. Gene Hooks as acting principal. Mr. Hooks had previously served as a vice principal. Dr. Holmes, known in educational circles throughout the nation, had been at Central since 1974. Here's how the 1979-80 term went. AUGUST Monday, August 27, was the first of- ficial day of classes. At the end of the first week of classes, enrollment at Central was 1,921, an in- crease of 83 over the previous school year. Racially, 55 percent of the students were black and 45 percent were white. Enrollment in the School District was 20,446, a decline of 87 over the previous school year and a decline of 888 over the 1977-78 school year. Racially, 61 percent of the District's students were black and 39 percent were white. A major renovation project was com- pleted shortly before school began. This project included the securing of lockers in the walls, the remodeling of three classrooms on second floor for the distributive education courses, and the soundproofing of the walls between rooms 337-339 and 339-341. SEPTEMBER The big surprise of September came when the Key Club, a service organiza- tion, announced it would go coeduca- tional and admit female students into membership. The Tiger began publishing weekly, becoming one of a few high school newspapers in the nation to do so. In the area of awards, the school’s cheerleaders won the highest awards available at the National Cheerleading Association Camp at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee; the Hi-Steppers won the highest awards obtainable at the USA Spirit Camp in Fayetteville; the Tiger Kittens won the “Trophy of Excellence at a clinic in the Little Rock area; the 1979 PIX yearbook won Medalist (the highest award) in the yearbook competition of the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion; and seven seniors were named scmifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program competition. The School Board authorized a new course at Central—German culture. The students in the class were also members of a German band that an- nounced plans to travel to Germany during the summer of 1980. A new club—the Tiger Art Guild (TAG)—was organized to promote stu- dent attendance at cultural events in the Little Rock area.” OCTOBER October began with the Arkansas State Fair in progress at the State Fair Grounds. One of the highlights of the month was the school’s annual Open House foi parents. Sponsored by the Parent’ Teacher-Student Association, Open House was on the 9th and was attendee by approximately 800. The sophomore class elected its twe class senators—Leslie Darwin and Claire Parins. Senior Roosevelt Thomas and Marcia Faucette were named semifinalists in the National Achievement Scholarship Pro- gram for Outstanding Negro Students. Former U.S. Congressman Brooks Hays visited Central and spoke at a seminar and at a pep rally. His appearance was filmed by the National Educational Television Network, which was doing a documentary on the role that Mr. Hays played in the 1957 integration crisis at Central. The Tiger cross country team won the state title. The Tigers’ win provided them with their 23rd state crown during the past 28 years. Only one other school in the nation has won more state cross coun- try titles. Homecoming was observed on the 19th. Reigning as queen was senior Rosalynn Smith. Superintendent of Schools Paul Mascm announced that the School District had begun a national search” to find a replacement for Dr. Morris Holmes who had resigned as Central's principal in August. The first grading quarter ended on the 26th. The national president of the National Association for the Advancement of Col- ored People (NAACP)—Dr. W. Montague Cobb—visited Central and spoke to an American history class taught by Mrs. Marilyn Brewster. NOVEMBER It was announced that second semester issues of the Tiger from the 1978-79 school year had won the All-American Award from the National Scholastic Press Association. It was the 40th consecutive semester for the Tiger to win the All- American award. No other newspaper in the South has received as many All- American honors as the Tiger. It was also announced that the diary kept during the school’s 1957 integration crisis by a former Central High vice prin- cipal, Mrs. Elizabeth Huckaby, would be made into a movie for the CBS Television Network. Clean-Up Week was observed during the month, the Beta Club had its annual 332—Review of Year talent show, and thermostats in the building were lowered to 65 degrees to comply with President Carter’s orders on energy consumption in public buildings.

The Tigers were ranked No. 1 in all state polls before the game. Hall won the game and the Tigers fell to No. 3 in the final Associated Press Poll. The Tigers finished with a 6-1-1 con- ference record and a 9-1-1 overall record. DECEMBER The Christmas spirit prevailed at Cen- tral throughout the month. Students received a two-week vacation from their classes for the Christmas holidays, getting out on December 21. Senior Roosevelt Thompson, the stu- dent body president, gained another honor. He was named as one of two representatives from Arkansas to the 18th •annual U. S. Senate Youth Program in Washington. D.C. Senior Teresa Gatewood went to a con- ference in Virginia for national and state officers of the Vocational Industrial Club of America. She was state VICA president in Arkansas. JANUARY Different semester test schedules were announced three times during the month. The confusion resulted in a call by city black leaders for residents to stay away from schools and businesses on January 15, the birthday of the late Rev. Martin Luther King. Roosevelt Thompson added another major award. He was named as one of two state winners in the Century III Leaders Scholarship Program. He won a $1,500 scholarship and a trip to Virginia for the national conference. FEBRUARY Competency exanis were given to sophomores in the School District. Students are required to pass the exams before they can graduate. The faculty selected Leslie Darwin to receive the school’s Hugh O’Brian Award, given annually to the most outstanding” sophomore; foreign language students from the school won the top awards at the Arkansas Foreign Language Festival; privilege cards were given to the seniors who met certain grade requirements; and the school observed National Black History Month.

Senior Bud Perry received an ap- pointment to the United States Military Academy. MARCH The Tiger basketball team entered the state AAAAA tournament in Pine Bluff. Though North Little Rock Ole Main had been selected to win the tour- nament title, the Tigers didn’t know this and took the title over Ole Main.

In the student body elections, junior Kristi Griffith was elected student body president for next school year, defeating Wana Duhart in a run-off election. For the second consecutive year, senior Johnny Miller scored highest among Central students taking the Na- tional High School Mathematics Ex- amination. Competition began for the school’s minor sports teams, including one new team—soccer—which gained funding from the School Board for the first time ever. Students got their annual one-week spring break at the end of the month. The break began on the same day as the school's second annual I Love You Cen- tral” Day sponsored by Student Council. Both the male and female Tiger track teams entered the new season as favored to repeat as winners of state titles. APRIL In addition to lots of showers, April brought a German “Fasching Party on the 3rd. the school’s spring play—“You Can't Take It With You”—on the 10th and I Ith, and the traditional senior class banquet on the 18th.

The seniors had their traditional class prom on the 24th at the Camclot Inn. Baccalaureate for the graduating seniors was in the auditorium on the 25th and commencement was at Barton Col- iseum on the 28th. The school year officially ended on Thursday. May 29. Teachers, however, remained on duty for one additional day to complete their end-of-the-year reports. For some students, their vacation was a short one. The students, who had either failed a course or wanted to gain addi- tional credit, started summer school on Friday, June 6. Review of Year—333 Outlooks... Graduates set oals for their ‘adult’ lives Prepared by Central High’s educational programs, the graduates of the Class of '80 are now ready to embark on the next step in their lives. They have been trained to step into adulthood and make meaningful lives for both themselves and their future families. The majority of the graduates will enroll in a college or universi- ty to gain additional training to help them reach their goals in lives. A few will enter the military. Some others will start work im- mediately. Some will immediately assume responsibilities for their own families. Central High takes pride in its graduates. When one of its graduates succeeds, the school's administration and teaching staff feel they too have succeeded. When one of its graduates fails, the school's administration and teaching staff feel they too have failed and they attempt to find out why. For, even the administration and the teaching staff of the future will come from students who are in school today.

Nearing his graduation with the Class of '80. Dag Perkins talks with an Air Force recruiter. Many of Central's graduates each year enlist in the military before embarking on careers. Many Central students are prepared for careers in the arts each year—students such as Todd Trimble. Angela Tharps. Kimberly Magee, and Ronnie Cain, who do a scene from Come as a Child, a play presented by the school's drama students in November. Getting a start on his career, senior John Sims works at Service Merchan- dise and gets some advice from his department manager. Many students had jobs that they planned to continue holding after they graduated. Visiting the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, senior Vicki Mack gets some information about the institution from a worker in the admis- sions office. UALR gains more Central students yearly than any other college 335 An old friend” diet! in a blaze of glory during llie Christma season.

Little Rock invites its youth to remain and ‘ row with us’ Remain and grow with us is the message that Little Rock sent to students graduating from its high schools in 1980. And. most students will remain in the city that educated them. They will remain in a city that is considered to be one of the fastest growing cities in the nation. It is a city that is located in the nation's Sun Belt, an area that is attracting numerous new industries each year. One of these days, not in the too distant future, those from the 1980 graduating class will be Little Rock leaders—its government officials, its doctors, its judges and lawyers, etc. Opening an account at Savers Saving and Loan Association is senior Lambert Dvcr. Most of the graduates of '80 have indicated that they plan to remain in Lit- tle Rock, a city that encourages its youth to remain and grow with us. Reflecting the growth of Little Rock is the construction is several new freeways, in- cluding this one—the new East Belt Freeway. 336—Outlooks PROGRESS One of the most newsworthy events of the first quarter of the 1980's was the destruction of two of the city's landmarks—the old Marion Hotel and the old Manning Hotel on Sunday, February 17. The buildings were destroyed to make room for a new convention center, shown at left. It was the Marion Hotel, built in 1907. that was close to the heart of Arkan- sans. The Marion was the scene of numerous conventions, the “political gathering place for the state, and the site of major social events. PIX photographer Jeff Bullard was on hand to record the demise of the two buildings.

Welcome to the 1980’s and to the world that you enter as an adult. Sure, it has problems! But, don't you remember those days when you were sitting in history classes. Remember all those problems the world had in the 1850's, the I860’s, the 1870's, and each decade up to the present. Did you think the world that you would inherit as an adult would be a world without problems? Other generations couldn't bring peace to the world or find a solution to the energy problems or find a solution to world hunger or find a solution to the hundred and one other major problems. But, we must keep on trying to find answers. It's the only world we have, at least for now. Central High School has attempted to prepare each of its students for this world that you are about to enter. Remember your lessons. And, remember the words of that great American educator. Horace Mann, who said, “Be ashamed to die until you accomplish a victory for humanity. Americans joined hands as the 1970’s ended and the 1980's began, mainly because of this man—Ayatullah Kuhnllah Khomeini, ruler of Iran, who gave his blessings to holding American embassy workers as hostages.

Index—351 Outlooks Closing Beginning An old decade ended and a new decade began during the 1979-80 school year. A decade filled with problems for this nation (Vietnam, energy, inflation, etc.) gave way to a decade that offered even more problems (Mid- dle East, energy, inflation, etc.). Life at Central High during the 1979-80 school year, though, was a good life. Students were involved in a wide variety of extracurricular activities, they learned, and—in general—they enjoyed their youth. Though we now look to the future, we will always remember those days of the 1970's when we were students. 352
