The 1981 PIX Little Rock Central High Little Rock, Arkansas Volume 36 Renovating A Champion Throughout the 53 years that Central High School has been in its present location, it has been the state’s best- known high school. Constructed at a cost of $1.5 million, the building was hailed as ‘•America's Most Beautiful High School” at a dedication service”attended by more than 20,000 people, including journalists from throughout the nation, in 1927. At the dedication service. Mrs. Lillian D. McDermott, a member of the School Board, said that Central High would stand as a public school for decades to come, a public school where Ambition is fired, where Personality is developed, where Opportunity is presented, and where Preparation in the solution of life’s problems is begun. Mrs. McDermott was correct. In fact, until renovation work began last summer, very little money had been spent on the building. The SI.5 million used to construct the building was a tremendous amount for that period in time, but it was SI.5 million wisely spent, as the years have now proven. The current renovation of Central has provided a new spirit to the school’s student body and to its faculty—a spirit that has made Central a champion” again this school year. Standing in now, the trombone section of the Tiger Marching Band performs during halftime ceremonies of the Central-Hall football game at Quigley Stadium on Thanksgiv- ing Day. The Tigers' victory over Hall provided Central with the state title in football, j 2 Checking the work of Accounting I student Shelia Penn, a junior, is Mrs. Joyce Arick. Students had almost 100 courses from which to choose. Dedicated educators were instructors in all the courses. Because of renovation work, con- struction workers were seen often by students and their teachers.

The “friend is a statue of the school's mascot, a Bengal tiger. The statue was carved during the 1977-78 school year from the base of a 156-year-old sweetgum tree that had died in 1976. The sweetgum tree was a campus landmark. The demise of the tree did not go without notice from the state's news media. Both the Arkansas Gazette and the Arkansas Demo- crat ran Articles about the tree’s death. Through the efforts of Central's principal at that time. Dr. Morris L. Holmes, and one of the assistant principals. Mr. Everett Hawks, a local artist was employed to carve a tiger from the base of the tree so that “an old landmark can become a new landmark.” Wood preservatives were placed on the statue several times; however, the bottom of the tree trunk continued to decay. On January 16. 1981. the statue was cut from its base and brought inside the building. The Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) initiated and raised most of the needed funds for the project. (See page 320.) 3 Holding a copy of the Wednesday.

The school of- fered a wide variety of foreign language courses, including five levels of Spanish. Tiger staff member Chip Blcndcn and Carl Elder complete paste-ups for an issue of their newspaper. Those students who worked on publications gained practical experience, doing all work w ith the exception of the actual printing. 4—Theme Renovating a Champion... New classroom spirit prevails in academics Perhaps because the building was being renovated or perhaps because the school had a new principal, but a new spirit did develop in Central’s numerous classrooms this year. This spirit seemed to cause students to be more enthusiastic about learning. It seemed to cause teachers to be more enthusiastic about teaching. The result was that more learning took place at Central this school year than during recent previous years. Standardized testing proved this to be true. There were nearly 100 different courses where this learning took place. Central had the most extensive curriculum in Arkansas. Giving tome pointert to his Madrigals is Mr. Robert Brack (above), director of choral music. Teachers instructed on an individual basis, a group basis, and a class basis.

The woodworking class was one of approx- imately 100 different courses offered at Central this school year. Theme—5 Renovating a Champion... Students’ physical fitness becomes concern of school Physical fitness is a concern for most Americans. Be- ing physically fit is important to one’s health and, in- directly, is a contributing factor to success in life. Recognizing this, Central High made physical educa- tion a mandatory course during two of the three years a student spent at the school. Central also offered an ex- tensive sports program. We not only want our students to be physically fit now, but we want to instill in each of them a desire to re- main physically fit throughout life, ’’ an official said. The sports program was popular. However, it was operated in such a way that it did not interfere with academic learning. Seeking a spot on the school's golf team, senior Charles Adams practices at War Memorial Golf Course. Central's golf team, coached by Mr. Everett Hawks, won last year's state title. To keep herself physically fit. junior Diana Nelson works out at the Nautilus on a weekend. The Nautilus and other body building centers were popular with Central's students. 6—Theme In sixth period physical education, sophomore Barbara Stewart works on the balance beam under the watchful eyes of her instructor. Mrs. Bcttyc Williams. Awaiting her turn at the exercise is senior Valeric Montgomery. In conference action at Quigley Stadium. Tiger fullback Keith Gibson carries the ball for some valuable yardage.

During the summer, fourteen Central students who were members of the school’s German band, called Die blauen Engelein (The Blue Angels), toured Germany with their teacher. Mr. Dan Proctor. (Above) They perform in a square. (Below) They perform on a cruise boat on the Rhein River. They were well-accepted by the Germans. Violating the law can create problems as junior Michelle Rives discovers. Many students at Central got tickets for traffic violations during the year.

Students in the program worked at businesses in the Many Central itudenta became involved in election cam- paigns during the fall. Many of their cars had signs that advertised the candidates whom they wanted to win. 8—Theme Having some fun while washing cars to raise money for Y-Teens are senior Holly Kent, junior Kathy Prunty, and senior Anne Riley. One purpose of the club program at Central was to teach students to work together, something Y-Teens successfully accomplished this school year. Renovating a Champion... School ur£es students to become ‘involved’ Students at Central were encouraged to become involved in school and community ac- tivities. Approximately 50 different student organi- zations functioned for the benefit of students. These organizations ranged from special in- terest groups, such as the Chess Club, to honor groups, such as the National Honor Society. “Becoming involved in school and communi- ty activities shows a student how to work with others, ” a school official said. “It also points out the need for society to work together. ” Indeed, a well-rounded student is a student who is involved in his school and his communi- ty. Most Central students were well-rounded this school year. Senior Tercaa Camp swings with a child at the Archild’s Day Care Center for Handicapped Children. She and other members of the school’s Future Business Leaders of America worked with the children as a community service project. Theme—9 A Champion! With broad smiles, juniors Valerie Dial and Nancy Smith enjoy themselves at a masquerade party, which was at the home of a friend. They attended the party dressed as the Marx Brothers Parties were the favorite enter- tainment activity for a vast number of students, according to a poll conducted by the Tiger newspaper staff. Even bus rides to out-of-town football games were fun. especially if you were invited to ride the cheerleaders' bus. as was the ease with George Newbern. a junior.

Renovating a Champion For Fun-Lovers Renovating Central High may have caused A few problems for students and teachers, But it certainly didn’t cut down on activities. Such as talent shows, dances, and sports events. That brought fun into the lives of students. Of course, most of the fun activities Were not associated with the school. These were activities that engaged students During the evenings and on weekends. These activities ranged from dating to hunting And from attending those popular parties To just getting together with close friends. It was great, and lots of fun, to be young As the world entered the 1980’s! Just ask any Central High student. 14—Sommer v - 107° -----105 � 03 ■----lol 99 ----- 97 95 ----- 93 91 ----- 89 87 ----- 85 83 ----- 81 79 ----- 7 7 75 -----73 71 ----- 69 On 41 different days during the summer of 1980, it reached or ex- ceeded 100 degrees. To make matters even worse, there were only 1.39 inches of rain during June, July, and August. Nine inches is considered normal. It was the hottest summer on record. Previously, the hottest sum- mer had belonged to 1954. It also reached or exceeded 100 degrees on 41 days in 1954; however, the average temperature in 1980 was higher. Because of the heat, the most popular summer activities for teens were water sports. And, the central Arkansas region is blessed with numerous lakes and streams. Unfortunately, though, many students have to work during the summer, often in jobs that require them to be outside. Being outside during the summer of 1980 caused many of these students to hope for a short vacation. The really lucky” students were those who spent the summer in one of the northern or eastern states where temperatures weren't quite so unbearable. There were some minor “blessings” in the hot weather and drought. Usually, students are the ones who are expected to mow the lawns. However, since the grass died, there was little or no mowing to be done. The minor blessings” for students meant major problems though for the state's farmers. Almost SI.5 billion was lost by the state's farmers as a result of the heat and drought. The summer of 1980 was indeed a memorable one. It will be one that students will remember for many years to come. It will be one that they will tell their grandchildren about. Trying to escape from the heat that plagued Arkansas during the summer of 1980. junior Susan Miller reads a novel on the sundeck of her home.

Filming 'Crisis at Movie crews converged on Central High during June for the filming of Crisis at Central High.” a movie shown on the CBS Television Network on February 4. The movie is based on a dairy kept by Mrs. Elizabeth Huckaby during the 1957-58 integration crisis at Central, a crisis that gained international attention. Mrs. Huckaby was dean of girls during that period of time. Playing the role of Mrs. Huckaby in the movie is Joanne Woodward, one of the na- tion’s most acclaimed actresses and the wife of actor Paul Newman. Mrs. Huckaby. who retired from Cen- tral’s faculty in 1969 after being at the school for nearly 40 years, also wrote a book based on the diary. The book ap- peared in the fall. Mrs. Huckaby was the target of segrega- tionists during the 1957-58 school year when nine blacks integrated Central. She was accused of treating black students the same as white students.

It's Back to School Agaiiv Student enrollment declines once more When classes opened for the 1980-81 school year, there were fewer students on hand than for the opening of the previous school year. The enrollment at the end of the first week of classes was 1,771. which was a decline of 150 students over the previous school year. A new principal (Mr. Richard Maple), major renovation work, and a heat wave also greeted the students. However, the opening of the school year went smoothly. according to school officials. There were fewer schedule changes and fewer discipline problems than in previous years. Students seem glad to be back in school, one official commented at the end of the first week. It's going to be another great year. j thU scene from Crisis at Central High. Principal Jess Matthews (played by Charles Durning) faces a mob otesting the enrollment of black students. Other actors and actresses in the scene are Gary Frank. Joanne loodward. Norma Young, and William Rush. A diary kept by Mrs. Huckaby was the basis for the movie. Actress Joanne Woodward, playing Mrs. Huckaby, the school's dean of girls, shows concern over actions of a mob gathered to protest enrollment of black students. Opening Week—17 Innovating Students, teachers make quick adjustments to major construction work on main building A complete renovation of Central’s main building, which had begun during the summer, continued throughout the school year. There were a few problems encountered by students and teachers at the opening of the school year, but these problems were quickly solved and school went on as usual. The problems at the opening of the year resulted in school be- ing closed several times. The problems centered around water mains that construction workers were replacing. The renovation work, financed by a $4.75 million bond issue that city voters had approved in a school election, is the first in the 53 year history of the school. The work, scheduled for completion in October of this year, in- cludes the replacement of all windows, the replacement of the roof, the replacement of all plumbing and electrical wiring, the altering of all radiators so they will operate on individual classroom thermostats, the painting of all classrooms and the in- stallation of carpets in most of them, and the complete remodel- ing of all bathrooms and several offices. As construction workers moved into a section of the building to do renovation work, the classes meeting in that section were moved to temporary classrooms in other parts of the building. Despite large pile� of water pipes, students (above) arc not distracted from visiting with friends during a lunch period. (Right) Piles of rubbish created by the renovation work became a common sight around campus.

The Kittens were always greeted with loud applause. (Below) The Hi-Steppcrs prepare to go into a routine at a basketball game in Barton Coliseum. The Hi-Steppcrs performed at most Tiger athletic events throughout the year. Spirited Students Whenever or wherever a Tiger athletic team played, there was always a large group of Central High students there also. Though frequently out- numbered when the athletic event was at one of the far corners of the state, the Central High students were never outdone in showing en- thusiasm and support for their team. It is this spirit displayed by Central High students that has gained the school the reputation of having the state’s most spirited fans. It is also this spirit that, according to coaches, has aided the Tigers in winning more state championship titles in sports than has any other team. Spirit was not limited to just athletic events. Central students were just as enthusiastic in boosting their school at state club conventions, in com- munity projects involving city schools, and—in general—anywhere they went. It’s an honor to be a Central High Tiger and we want everybody to know it, senior Dennis Nutt said. There was even a friendly competition among the three classes (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) to see which class could show the most spirit. This was especially evident at pep assemblies. It was always a toss- up in determining which class displayed the most spirit. In Tiger Flcldhouse, the junior varsity cheerleaders form a pyramid during one of their cheering routines. The junior varsity pepsters were on hand for both the B-tcam and the varsity basketball games throughout the year. Spirit—21 Being of service and earning money at the same time, senior Chrissy Watts works as a nurses' aide at Baptist Medical Center. She was enrolled in the school’s Health Occupation Education Program, which allowed students to attend classes in the mornings and work on jobs in the afternoons. |r After leaving school, senior Mark Shcrrcll stops at Burger King on his way home. He said his afternoon 'snack wasn't cheap. I'm like everybody else. he said. “I worry about the high rate of inflation and wonder when it will end. On the job at Scar's is senior Ccodis Lasker. “My work is hard sometimes, but it pays good. Ceodis said. It lets me buy things that I want and need. 22 $$$ Woes More and more students look for employment as inflation continues to hurt budgets of families Approximately 600 students said they had jobs during the school year. Probably another 600 would have taken jobs if they could have been found. The reason that working was so popular with high school students during the 1980-81 school year was the nation’s inflation—an inflation that sent prices of most items soaring. ‘‘It's either work or stay at home all the time,” one student said. The one item that students complained most about was the cost of gasoline. A gallon of regular gasoline cost $1.21 around the first of February with indications that it would be around $1.50 a gallon by the end of the school year. Consumer prices rose by 12.4 per cent during 1980. It was the sharpest rise since the year following World War I. Even teachers complained bitterly about inflation. They were actively involved in getting pay increases. “We haven’t had a pay increase in five years that has matched the inflation rate,” one teacher said. Driving an automobile was a big expense for many students, such as senior Scott Crotty, the owner of this 1978 Trans-Am. In early February, a gallon of regular gas was approx- imate SI .21. There were indications it would be about SI .50 a gallon by the first of June. In hit uniform, junior David Tucker prepares an order at Burger King Restaurant. He said he kept busy on his job. but that it was better than doing nothing. Tucker also indicated he enjoyed receiving a weekly paycheck After leaving school at noon, senior Paula Davis works as a nurses' aide at Baptist Medical Center. She said she enjoyed both the money and work. Even snack foods weren't cheap this year. Junior J. J. Graves and sophomore Tony Downs enjoy snack foods brought from home. A can- ned soft drink retailed for 40 or 45 cents at most Little Rock businesses. Earning some money as a clerk at Montgomery Ward's on University Avenue is senior Rick Smith, who was one of approximately 600 Cen- tral students who said they had jobs while attending school this year. An adding machine is used by junior Kristy Bryant as part of her duties as a clerk at a local department store. She said that she found enough time to work between 20 and 30 hours weekly at her job. attend classes at Central High, and “still do the all the things I like to do. 23 An enthusiastic audience listened to the Doobie Brothers at the Wild Hog Boogie in War Memorial Stadium during the summer. Several top-name bands performed at the Boogie. A favorite pastime for most students was listening to music at home, including junior Khonda Dickerson who plays a record on the stereo. Many students had as much as SI .000 invested in records alone. An album sold for about S7.50 at area music stores. Though most students wouldn't attempt to climb this section of Pinnacle Mountain on the outskirts of Little Rock, there were some who did. including senior Terry Kenney. It's a fun way to spend an afternoon. he indicated. Showing his skill, junior Doug Homeyer takes aim at a ball he wants to place in a side pocket. Many students had pool tables in their homes. These students usually had lots of friends. Who Shot J. R. Ewing? The big question that many Americans, including those at Central High School, were asking throughout the summer and fall was, “Who shot J. R.?“ They were referring to the final episode of the television series “Dallas that was televised in May. In that episode, J. R. was shot. On November 21, more than 44 million Americans watched Dallas” to learn the answer. They learned he had been shot by his sister-in-law, Kristin. Stars of the weekly show, rated No. 1 in national viewer polls during both the 1980 and 1981 seasons, were (In picture above, from left) Patrick Duffy, Vic- toria Principal, Jim Davis, Barbara Bel Geddes, Linda Gray, and Larry Hagman, who played J. R. 24—Entertainment BOBBY McFEE Sophomore Placing a game of squash while attending the summer session of Exeter Academy in New Hampshire is senior Anne Riley. She said it was an amusing experience. Thl antique car was entered in the Downtown Little Rock Christmas Parade during early December. Parades were popular with all age groups in the central Arkansas area, including high school students. Entertainment Lots of 'fun activities entice students from studies; television viewing ranks at top of entertainment list Some students complained about “nothing to do” for entertainment. These students, however, were just not informed about entertainment ac- tivities in the Little Rock area. There was much to do on any night of the week. And. what were some of these activities? They included concerts by some of the nation’s top musical groups, movies, bowling, ice skating, plays, planetarium shows, etc. These entertainment activities cost money though. Therefore, most students couldn’t attend as many activities as they liked. The No. 1 form of entertainment, as would be expected, was television viewing. A poll conducted by the Tiger staff showed that the average student watched television 3.3 hours daily. Entertainment—25 To observe Halloween, senior Su ette Taylor shops for a pumpkin al a grocery store. Pumpkins were in plentiful supply during the fall, despite a drought that had plagued the state throughout the summer. (olorjul Fall State Fair, opening of hunting season, lots of politics all combine to make fall a time not easily forgotten It's called the busy season by Little Rock teenagers, especially those who at- tend Central High. It’s fall, a season when there’s lots to do each day, ranging from the annual Arkan- sas State Fair at Barton Coliseum to Fri- day night football games at Quigley Stadium, from election campaigns to Halloween, and from hunting season to the start of the state's concert season. Fall is an exciting season. sophomore Martha George said. “It's a time to get out and do things with your friends. Getting out can also be an experience to be remembered. Mother Nature paints in various hues the many woodlands sur- rounding the city. Summer clothing is stored and warmer clothing, usually much more colorful than what is worn during other seasons, is got- ten out. Warm days and cool nights are usually provided, making it a season with con- trasts, something that most people in Lit- tle Rock enjoy. To remind voter� of the November 4 general election, signs were seen throughout the city, including this one for Republican Frank White, the victor for governor. 26— Fall Prior «o Halloween, junior Eric Williams and sophomore Marti Cruz (above) entertain visitors to one of the city's many haunted houses.

Bilsky studied throughout the school year at a school in France operated by a group of major prep schools operating in the Eastern section of the U.S. He's State's Top Student For the second consecutive year, a Central High senior gained the un- official title of “Arkansas' Smartest High School Student. The recipient of the title this school year was Eric Bilsky. During the previous school year, the recipient had been Roosevelt Thompson. The title of Arkansas’ Smartest High School Student goes to the senior who scores highest on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT NMSQT). , Though he was considered a student at Central, Bilsky attended no classes at Central during the year. Instead, he studied in Rennes. France, with 64 other American high school students considered to be among the nation’s top academic students. Sponsored by an organization called School Year Abroad and operated by major prep schools operating in the Eastern section of the United States, the school allowed Bilsky to take courses in French language. French literature, and French history in addition to English and calculus. Bilsky had won several awards in statewide competitions with other French students during both his sophomore and junior years. Junior Leslie Darwin does work in her chemistry class dressed in a baseball costume. Leslie wore the costume during Homecom- ing Week so the Tigers would outsport the Chargers. At the end of his junior year, Bilsky was ranked No. 1 academically in his class, having a straight-A average. He was active in numerous student organizations. Talking with residents of Rennes. France, was not difficult for senior Eric Bilsky who studied in that city this school year. Bilsky had won numerous awards in statewide French competitions during his sophomore and junior years at Central. Here, he poses with a Renees shopkeeper. A broad smile fills the face of Homecoming Queen Kim Mitchell as she watches the Tigers soundly defeat the North Little Rock Northeast Chargers. 20-0. in the Homecoming game. Kim was crowned queen in halftime ceremonies of the football game at Quigley Stadium. Homecoming Week filled with fun events uses theme of 'Were the Best You've Ever Seen' With a theme of We're the Best You’ve Ever Seen. Homecoming Week offered numerous activities designed to provide fun for those who participated and to lend en- couragement to the Tiger football team in its annual clash with the North Little Rock Northeast Chargers. The week was celebrated October 27-31. Activities of the week included dress-up days for the dif- ferent classes, a door decorations contest, a parade, a pep rally, a dance, and—of course—the football game. At the football game, which the Tigers won easily. 20-0, senior Kim Mitchell was crowned 1980-81 Homecoming Queen in halftime ceremonies. She was chosen for the honor in an all-student election. A float entered by the senior class won first place in the parade contest and a door decorated by first period students in room 248. taught by Mr. Barry Hardin, won first place in the door decorations contest. Providing music for the dance, which was in Tiger Fieldhouse following the football game, was a local band, the Music Machine. Approximately 500 attended. Showing their support for the Tigers during Homecoming Week, sophomores Pat Barron and Joel Pettit, being hugged by junior Jett Clancy, wear sunglasses so the Tigers will outshine the Chargers.

Homecoming—29 Sweet Turkey Day Tigers capture state's crown for football despite snow covering Quigley Stadium Four inches of snow blanketed Little Rock on Thanksgiv- ing Day, but this did not keep the Tigers from meeting their crosstown rival, the Hall Warriors, at Quigley Stadium for their traditional football clash. And. when the game had ended, the Tigers had won. 7-0. The victory provided the Tigers, which had entered the game ranked No. I in all major state polls, with the 1980 state football championship title. Kven though the snow didn’t cancel the football game between Central and Hall, it did force several other Thanksgiving activities for students to be cancelled, in- cluding the Turkey Trot dance in Tiger Fieldhouse. Students and teachers received a two-day vacation from their classes for Thanksgiving. The three school days prior to Thanksgiving were busy ones for students. Many clubs were busy in preparing food baskets for distribution to needy families and there were many activities designed to boost the Tiger football team in its Turkey Day clash with Hall.

Most classes had similar parties this school year. 32—Christmas Exerting some effort, junior Mark Gamer stacks Christmas merchandise at K-Mat on Rodney Parham Road. Many students, such as Garner, had to devote their two week Christmas vacation to working, something that didn't have much appeal Christmas Parties, traditional concert, tivo-week break combine to provide 'delightful' Yule season The most important holiday of the year for most Central High students is Christmas. Christmas, for these students, means that there will be a two- week vacation from classes, there will be gift giving and gift receiving, and the family will all be together to enjoy good food and fellowship. Prior to the start of the Christmas vacation, students were in- volved in numerous activities, ranging from the traditional Yule concert presented as an all-student assembly to classroom par- ties. It was the first time in many years that classes were permitted to have parties in their classrooms. Numerous student organizations also remembered the city’s yieedy. Some clubs prepared food baskets for distribution to needy families, some clubs caroled at nursing homes, and some clubs gave gifts to orphans. Christmas 1980 was indeed a good one for Central’s students. At University Mull, junior Barbara Kirk- patrick and sophomore Leon Jefferson (above) can't resist taking a ride on the Santa Train.

In addition to bringing those dreaded first semester exams for students, January brought some historical events. January 20 was THE one day never to be forgotten by students. As they were sitting in class, an unexpected snow began falling outside. In Washington. Ronald Reagan was being inaugurated as the nation’s 40th president. At 11:45 a.m. Principal Richard Maple came on the school’s inter- com to tell students he was making ‘‘the most important an- nouncement I’ve made since I became Central's principal. Mr. Maple proceeded to tell students that the 52 American hostages held 444 days by Iran had been released. He then announced classes would be dismissed at 12:45 p.m. because of snow. The announcements brought loud cheer- ing from students. 34—Mid-Year s a part of his semester grade in his communications class, mior Gregors’ Young delivers a speech.

(Below) Lallie’s report card shows that she is a dedicated student despite being in- volved in many extracurricular activities. She was one of about SO students making all-A's for first semester. One of the approximately 50 students who made all-A’s dur- ing the first semester was Lallie Cobb, a junior. Lallie said she thinks she is cheating herself if she does not take advantage of the learning opportunities presented at Central. If you want to learn, you’ll learn. she indicated, adding that you make good grades when you learn. Lallie said she devotes about one and one-half hours each night to school work. She was active this year in numerous student organiza- tions at Central, including be- ing a member of the Tiger gymnastics team, the Latin Club. Y-Tccns. and the American Field Service. Her advice to those who want to make good grades: Keep your mind on school work and don’t overload yourself to the point where you don’t have time for studying.

First, there were all those surprises during the week of Valentine's Day. Many students were recipients of carna- tions or valentines sold by various clubs. Senders were often anonymous. And. the big surprise was the weather! February is supposed to be cold. However, warm weather was the rule, rather than the exception, during the month. In fact, the weather was warm enough on several days to wear shorts. February brought the school's traditional Black History Week observance, which was highlighted by an all-student assembly featuring a speech by Mr. Richard Mays, a well-known local attorney. February also brought a campaign to get all eligible students registered to vote in city elections. To make sure that she remembers that special friend on Valentine's Day. junior Tam- my Wolfgang shops for a valentine card at a local store.

Most students say spring is their favorite season of the year. A weekend outing during the spring proves fun for this group of Central students—junior Michelle Rives, senior F.d Drehcr. and junior Jessie Evrard. The students were visiting at Pinnacle Mountain State Park, which is located only a few miles from Little Rock.

Green Seaso V Most students claim it's their favorite season of year; it's a season when most activities take place on outside Ask high school students to name their favorite season of the year. Most will say spring without hesitation. Spring is the time when those winter blahs brought about by being confined inside suddenly disappear. It is a time when flowers begin to bloom, trees begin to bud. and the grass turns from brown to green. Spring 1981 was almost perfect. The weather was ideal. And. there were numerous activities designed to beckon students to the outside. There were outings to nearby parks, horse racing at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, the opening of amusement parks, the start of the baseball and track seasons, etc. The only problem with spring is that it’s too short. senior Kelly Grigg said. And, with only one week out of school for spring vacation, there just isn’t enough time to do all the things you’d like to do. The one-week spring break provided yearly to students began at the end of the day on Friday, March 20.

And. parents think their teenage sons and daughters know nothing about good appearance. Or. that had been the case until this school year when the college prep look” (similar to what the teen’s parents had once gone through) and shorter hair became stylish. Parents were thrilled, weren’t they? The new look in teen fashions came’through just as the prices for clothing were leaping skyward. Parents were astonished at the price tag on a pair of slacks (often S30 or more), or a pair of tennis shoes (around S40). or even a pair of socks or hose (around S2.50). Male teens went to the barbershop more often. Yet. most chose to go to those shops where the price of a sim- ple haircut was SI2 or S15. something that fathers just couldn’t understand. If the male wanted his hair styled (and many did), the price was around $25. Most teens didn't like the term, the college prep li ok. They opted for the the GQ (good quality) look.” Denim jeans, which had been the favorite school wear for both males and females during recent years, weren't seen as much this school year, especially on female students, who chose to wear more skirts and dresses. Jewelry wasn’t as significant this school year, perhaps because of the high prices for gold and silver. The once- popular chain necklace found on both males and females almost completely disappeared. But. regardless of what a student wore, it was safe to assume that the student wanted that GO look. For male students, the GO (good quality) look. which was once called the college prof look. was popular. Juniors Paul Hightower and Glenn Harris model the look. Both wear slacks loafers, dress shirts, and ties. Males found that their father’s tics of the 1%0's were ideal For summer vacation, senior Sherry Johnson and junior Angela Stubbs (left) sclcc) stylish dresses and stylish bathing suits (center) that carried price tags that astonished their parents. (Right) Juniors Pam Burks and Paulette Burch select walking shortd 42—Fashions Though denim jeans weren't as popular as they had been in previous years, they were still worn by large numbers of both males and females, including sophomore Angela Womack. A sporting look was popular with many male students during the 1980-81 school year, as demonstrated by junior Juan Manning, who wears a warm-up suit. Oh, what comfort! Tennis shoes, which often retailed for more than dress shoes, were the shoes of choice for the vast majority of Central students. Nikes easily outnumbered all other brands. Fashions—43 Skirts and pants were both suited for informal wear, as demonstrated by juniors Leslie Darw in, Chris Morgan, and Jill Canino. During winter, pants were more popular.

Central had more scmifinalists than any other high school in Arkansas. Ranked No. 1 in the 1981 graduating class were Susan Hill. Kristi Griffith. David Morgan, and Laticia Mull. To be ranked No. 1 in the graduating class is con- sidered to be the highest academic honor that is obtainable at Central High.

Honors Numerous students win top prizes in contests; school honors them at longest assembly of year As has been the case for many years, students at Central won more honors in state and national competitions than did students at any other high school in the state. These honors ranged from first place awards in contests at state con- ventions of clubs to All-American titles for student publications and from championship titles in sports to scholarships for graduating seniors. The school provided special recognition to these students at the an- nual Honors Convocation in May. Because of the large number of honors won by students, the Honors Convocation had to be presented in three parts—two during the mornings for students and one at night for both students and their parents. Because of a limited amount of space, the P1X could not possibly pic- ture all the winners in competitions. However, those that are pictured are representative of the awards that students won in the different areas of competition. “We take great pride in awards won by our students.” a school of- ficial indicated. When our students enter national competitions and compete favorably with those from schools with a national reputation for excellence, then we know that our school is still a good one. College recruiters took notice of the many honors won by Central students. More than 100 of them visited the campus this school year in an attempt to recruit graduating seniors. Honors—45 Tl e End Students greet close of their year on May 28 with shouts of joys and with a few sad tears May 28 was a red letter day for students. It was the last day of the 1980-81 school term. The end of the school term was greeted with mixed emotions by students. Generally, most students were happy and loud shouts of happiness could be heard echoing through the halls. These students felt they deserved a three-month vacation from classes. Some students, however, were sad because they realized they would never see many of their classmates again. The 1980-81 school year has been a good one for Central's students and staff, Principal Richard Maple said. It has been a good year for teaching and a good year for learning. An empty classroom, scheduled to be renovated during the summer (above), signifies the close of the school year.

Renovating a Champion For Lovers of Sports An extensive sports program Functioned at Central High School During the 1980-81 school year. The program involved both males and females In a wide variety of sports. Ranging from football to basketball And from volleyball to soccer. Not only did the sports program Help in the physical development of students. But it also aided mental development. Throughout the history of Central High.

Central wins state's crown with its undefeated record Posting a 9-0-2 season record and becoming the only major high school team in Arkansas to finish the season without a defeat, the Tigers were named state champions. However, the Tigers had to share the AAAAA conference title with the Fort Smith Northside Grizzlies. Both teams had 7-0-1 conference records. The Tigers clinched the state title by defeating the Hall Warriors, 7-0. on Thanksgiving Day. During the previous year, the Tigers had entered its final game of the season with Hall as the state’s No. 1 team. When the game had ended. Central had been upset, 17-0. Needless to say. the victory over Hall this season and the state title were very pleasing,” head coach Bernie Cox said. Post-season honors were heaped on numerous Tiger players. In fact, more honors were won by players from Central than from any other high school. Ten Tigers were named to the All-State Team selected by the AAAAA conference coaches. They were Byron Dunnick.

The second half of the game proved one of good defensive play by both the Tigers and the Wildcats. NORTHEAST It was Central's Hotnecoming when the Tigers faced the North Little Rock Nor- theast Chargers on Halloween at Quigley Stadium. As has usually been the case at Central’s Homecoming games, the Tigers were the victors. They won the conference game. 20-0. to record their second shutout of the season. It was also another big night for quarterback Nutt who passed for 122 yards and completed two touchdown passes to tight end Mark Horton. Tailback Keith Gibson made the third touchdown on a five-yard run. FORT SMITH NORTHSIDE It was a disappointing trip that the Tigers took to Fort Smith on November 7.

Defensive tackle John Steed recovered a Grizzly fumble late in the first quarter to I—Football set up a tour-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nutt towingbaek Byron Dun- nick. Dinger's PAT was good. However, the Grizzlies recovered a l iger fumble late in the fourth quarter and went 85 yards in seven plays to score from one yard out. The PAT was good and the score was tied. PARKVIEW Thursday. November 13. proved to be an unlucky day for the Parkview Patriots who visited Quigley Stadium to face the Tigers in a conference game. The Patriots lost. 13-0. as the Tigers chalked up their third shutout of the season. The Tigers kept the ball on the ground most of the night, providing the Patriots with little chance of any interceptions. The first Tiger score came on a four- yard run by Mark Fields early in the first quarter. Dinger's PAT was blocked, mak- ing the score 6-0 in favor of the Tigers. The Tigers next, and final, score came with more than seven minutes left in the game on a one-yard run by senior Keith Gibson. Dinger's PAT was good this time. HALL The Tigers closed their football season on Thanksgiving Day against the Hall Warriors. The traditional conference game between the two teams was played in four inches of snow at Quigley Stadium. When the game had ended, the Tigers were the victors. 7-0. Both teams encountered difficulty with the snow. In an attempt to overcome the difficulty, both teams went to the air. The lone score in the game came in the third quarter on a 17-yard pass completion from quarterback Nutt to Mark Fields. Dinger's PAT was good. The victory provided the Tigers with the state championship title. Handing the ball to fallback Clint Witcher in a conference game at Quigley Stadium i% Tiger quarterback Den nis Nutt. Since I 74 the quarterback for the l iger football teams has been a Nutt. With the graduation of Den- nis this school year, who is the youngest of the Nutt brothers, an era in Central High football has ended. Calling the play in a Tiger football game is Dennis Null. He directed the team to the state's title this season. With graduation of Dennis, there's no Nutt on squad When the Tiger football team takes to the field for the 1981-82 season, it won't quite be the same for Tiger fans. There won’t be a quarterback named Nutt. Since 1974 the starting quarterback for the Tiger teams has been a Nutt. They were all brothers. First, there was Houston Jr., who graduated in 1976. Then there was Dickey, who graduated in 1977. Next came Danny, who graduated in 1980. And. finally there was Dennis, who graduated this school year. In addition to quarterbacking the Tiger football teams, all four brothers were important members of the Tiger basketball teams. All four of the brothers, too. received college scholarships for their athletic abilities. The father of the Nutt brothers is Coach Houston Nutt Sr. of the Arkansas School for the Deaf. Calling the vignaU in a game w ith a local opponent is sophomore Joel Pettit, who was the quarterback for the junior varsity squad this season. Pettit received praise from the coaching staff for the playing ability he displayed in the lour junior varsity games. Posting 2-2 record on season, junior team provides training Four games were played by the Tiger junior varsity foot- ball team this season. The Tigers won two of them and lost two of them. Our purpose in fielding the team is to provide training for future varsity players. Coach Ray Gillespie, who work- ed with the team, said. The Tigers' wins came over Hall's junior team. 8-0. and Parkview's junior team. 6-0. Losses were posted to North Little Rock Northeast. 8-0, and Hall. 14-6. The highlight of the season came in the Parkview game when sophomore quarterback Joel Pettit engineered a 60-yard, three-minute drive late in the game that was cap- ped off by a 12-yard touchdown pass from Pettit to junior split end Marc Breedlove.

The Tigers, which have won more state titles than any other team in Arkansas, compiled a 15-9 overall season record and an 11-5 conference record. The 11-5 conference record was good enough for the Tigers to finish in third place, just one game behind the co-winners of the league title—the Parkview Patriots and the North Little Rock Ole Main Wildcats, both with 12-4 records.

The main function of the squad, according to Coach Scogin, was to pro- vide actual game experience to as many future varsity players as possible. The junior varsity games, sometimes called B-team games, were played prior to most varsity games. The junior varsity games drew numerous Tiger fans. In addition to the junior varsity team, there was a sophomore team that played area teams. The sophomore team, which was also supervised by Coach Sogin. posted a season record of 9 wins and 5 losses.

This was one of the strongest areas of competi- ion for the Tigers, who usually got first or second place points in these events at meets. Mate, female teams eye state track titles Two track teams were in competition lor Central dur- ing the 1981 season. One team was for males and the other was for females. They entered the same meets. Usually, both teams have entered the season as the favorites to win the state titles. However, that was not the case this season. Pine Bluff was selected by sports writers to win both the male and female state titles. Though the season had not ended as the P1X was go- ing to press. Pine Bluff indeed was dominating the meets that it entered. However, there have been instances where Central's track teams have not won a single season meet, but these teams peaked in time for the state meets and won the state titles. Both Coach Clyde Horton of the male team and Coach Bettye Williams of the female team were hoping this would be the case again this season. The female team won the state titles in 1979 and 1980. The male team won the state title in 1979. During the past 19 years. Coach Horton has won 13 state titles. He is called the state's winningest coach. Up through the Warrior Relays on April 11, neither team had fared too well. They had failed to win a meet. However, a look at the meets showed that both Tiger teams were becoming stronger competitors as the season progressed. The strongest area of competition for the male team was in the distance events. The state's top long distance runners were members of the Tiger squad. (Continued to Page 74.)

Perhaps the best-known athlete on the male team was senior Marcus Klliott. who was also one of the state's best-known football players. Elliott almost dominated the discus event and the shot put event during the AAAAA season meets. For example, in the Warrior Relays on April 24. he finished first in the discus event with a throw of 158 feet and seven and one-half inches. He also finished first in the shot put event with a throw of 54 feel and five and one-half inches.

In addition to the male and female track teams, which competed in the spring, there were also male and female cross country teams. The cross country teams competed in the fall. The state had its first state cross country meet for females this school year. Coached by Mrs. Bettye Williams, the female Tigers won second place in the meet, which was run October 18 in Russellville. The meet was won by Cabot. The male cross country team was ex- pected to win its state meet, which was also October 18 in Russellville. However, the Tigers finished in fourth place. The male Tigers had won the state title during the previous school year. In fact, during the past 29 years, the Tigers have won the state title 23 different times. Only one other team in the nation has won more state titles in cross country than the Tigers. The male team entered eight meets dur- ing the season, winning only one first place ranking.

Cross Country—77 ■V X Program of 'minor' sports gets attention of about 150 Almost 150 students were involved in what was called the school’s “minor” sports program. Six minor sports were offered. They were volleyball, soccer, swim- ming. golf, tennis, and gymnastics. In addition, there was a Tiger Bowling League that functioned as part of the school's club program (see page 126). All six of the minor sports teams competed with teams from other high schools during regular season play. All six. with the exception of the soccer team, entered state tournaments sanctioned by the Arkansas Activities Association (AAA), the governing body for state athletic pro- grams. The soccer team, which was not sanctioned by the AAA. com- peted on a city level and entered a city tournament. Volleyball was a fall sport. The others were spring sports. Under the supervision of Mrs. Louise Starling, instructor of physical education, the volleyball team posted a 3-9 record. During the previous season, the team had a 2-8 record. Despite the losing record. Mrs. Starling noted that the team had good support from the student body. The swimming team, which was also coached by Mrs. Louise Starl- ing. did not fare too well this season either. Several of the swimmers were ranked among the top in the state in their specialities; however, the team failed to win any meets. During the previous season, the female swimming team had won the state championship title. As the PIX was going to press, results from the other teams were not known. However, the golf team, which was coached by Mr. Everett Hawks, an assistant principal, had won the state championship title during the previous season and there were indications that the team (Continued to Page 81.)

She was ranked No. 1 in the state among 16 year olds and was ranked in the top fifty na- tionally. Season results for the gymnastics team, coached by Mrs. Bettye Williams, and the soccer team, coached by Mr. George Nelson, were also not known as the P1X was going to press.

Minor Sports—81 Varsity cheering squad boosts spirit at games Whenever one of the major Tiger athletic teams competed this school year, whether it was at home or at one of the far corners of the state, it was safe to assume that the Tiger varsity cheerleaders would be in attendance. The eleven varsity cheerleaders were in attendance at all Tiger athletic events, encouraging their teams to victory through yells and colorful routines. In addition to attending athletic events, the varsity cheerleaders employed several techniques in getting Central's Student body at the events. They wore their uniforms on days when Tiger teams were competing, they made posters boosting the Tiger teams and placed them in fhe halls, and they spon- sored numerous pep rallies and pep assemblies. To make sure that they did a superior job in cheering at Tiger athletic events, the varsity cheerleaders practiced for many hours during the summer months and then met each school day for one-hour practice sessions. The varsity squad also attended the National Cheerleader Association Clinic for one week during the summer at the University of the South in Sewanee. Tennessee. In competition with other cheerleading squads from throughout the South, the Tigers won the highest awards given at the clinic. The cheerleaders were selected in a competitive tryout con- ducted during the spring of the previous school year. Captain of the squad was Melinda Bryant and co-captain was Felecia Thomas. Mrs. Joanne McLendon, instructor of physical education, was squad sponsor. leading a cheer at a conference football game in Quigley Stadium is the Tiger varsity cheerleading squad.

The Hi-Steppers attended all home athletic events. They were also in at- tendance at several out-of-town athletic events. In addition to acting as an organized cheering section at these Tiger athletic events, the Hi-Steppers performed at halftime. Their performances were met with loud cheers from Tiger fans. The Hi-Steppers, led by captain Sara Cole, a senior, also appeared in several area parades during the school year, in- cluding the Arkansas State Fair Parade and Central's Homecoming Parade. To promote school spirit, the Hi- Steppers performed at the school’s numerous pep rallies and pep assemblies. During the summer, the Hi-Steppers attended the United Spirit Associ- ation’s Drill Team Clinic in Denton, Texas. In competition with other female drill teams from throughout the nation, the Hi-Steppers won the “Superior Trophy, the highest award given.

The Kittens provided halftime entertain- ment at numerous Tiger athletic events, they appeared at all Tiger pep rallies and pep assemblies, they marched in several parades, and they performed at several junior high schools and for several civic organizations. In addition, the Kittens sponsored many activities that offered entertainment to the student body, including dances at the Dun- bar Recreation Center and a basketball game between the Tiger varsity squad and the KLAZ-KOKY Gobbletrotters. To boost student attendance at out-of-town Tiger athletic events, the Kittens sponsored buses to many of these events. To raise money to finance their activities, the Kittens sponsored several splash (swimming) parties during the summer at War Memorial Pool, they sponsored several car washes, and they sponsored a citywide talent show. Captain of the Kittens was senior Michelle Johnson. First co-captain was senior Jamie Campbell. Second co-captain was senior Dianne Medley. The Tiger Kittens were selected during the previous spring in a competitive tryout. Following their selection for the team, they began daily practice sessions to perfect their modern dance routines. Mrs. Bettye Williams, instructor of physical education, was faculty sponsor of the Kittens. For the student� of Pulaski Heights Junior High, the Kittens (above) appear in one of their assem- blies.

CORA WALLS President KAREN WILSON 1st Vice President EVIE JOHNSON BARBARA CLARK 2nd Vice President Secretary Pep Club provides color to Tiger athletic events Under the supervision of Mrs. Kathy Henson, instructor of physical education, the Pep Club acted as an organized cheer- ing section for Tiger athletic teams. Colorful routines by the members of Pep Club also provided an added attraction to athletic events. There were approximately 150 females who were members of Pep Club this year, making it one of the largest Pep Clubs in recent history. The Pep Club was in attendance at all home athletic events. One of the reasons for the popularity of Pep Club was a School District requirement which stated that a student had to be an active participant in Pep Club for one year before the student could compete in tryouts for one of the other spirit groups (cheerleaders. Hi-Steppers, and Tiger Kittens). Cora Walls, a junior, was president of Pep Club. Karen Wilson, a junior, was first vice president. Evie Johnson, a junior, was second vice president. Barbara Clark, a junior, was secretary. Dressed in t-shirts that proclaim they’re from Central, the Pep Club acts as an organized cheering section for the Tiger basketball squad in a game against the Hall Warriors. Members of the Pep Club set the pace for cheering at all home Tiger athletic events. PEP CLUB—(Bottom Row) Cora Walls. Yolanda Jones. Lisa Clark. Monica Craig. Latanya Coleman.

Pep Club—91 Senior gains national rank in roller speed skating area Throughout the school year, a Central High senior—Donnie Van Patter—was ranked number three nationally in roller speed skating. His national ranking and his dedication to the sport caused many Central students and other area youths to try the sport, ac- cording to an owner of a local roller skating rink. However. Van Patter hoped that by the end of 1981. he would be ranked number one nationally. Van Patter, who began skating competitively in 1977. was so dedicated to improving his na- tional standing that he awoke in the morning and did 30 minutes of exercising designed for speed skaters. He went home from school and headed to one of the rinks in the Little Rock or North Little Rock area to do three hours of skating. On Saturdays and Sundays he averaged more than three hours daily at a rink. A visit to his home revealed more than 100 trophies on display—trophies he had won in speed skating competitions. During 1980. Van Patter won first place in the regional competi- tion for junior men. The first place allowed him to enter the 1980 U.S. Roller Speed Skating Championships in Lin- coln. Nebraska, during August. Competing against senior men. Van Patter finished in third place. It’s a great sport. Van Patter said. To gain practice lor a regional speed skating competition, senior Don- nie Van Patter skates with a friend at a local rink. Van Patter was rank- ed number three nationally in the sport throughout the school year. In a competition for roller speed skaters, senior Don- nie Van Patter leads the pack. Since he started skating in 1977. he has won more than 100 trophies. 92—Hall of Fame z!

Y-Teens—103 Student group offers ‘counseling’ to others Approximately sixty students were participants in a peer counseling program called Tigers Always Interested in Listening to Students (TAILS). Sponsored by Mrs. Gail Beavert. the school's social worker, TAILS was one of a few peer counseling programs operating in the nation’s high schools. It was funded through a S2.400 federal grant. Mrs. Beavert said the program trained students to become good listeners. The students met once each month for one-half day training sessions The TAILS participants sponsored one-to-one talk ses- sions with other students, listening to them discuss a wide range of problems and concerns, ranging from drugs to alcohol abuse and from truancy to home problems. During the first two years that TAILS functioned at Cen- tral. the participants had conducted rap sessions during study hall periods, listening to groups of students. “We think one-on-one peer counseling probably works best. Mrs. Beavert said in discussing the change. Besides the one-to-one counseling at Central, the TAIL participants this year also involved themselves in cross-age counseling, visiting intermediate and junior high schools in the area to listen and discuss problems and concerns these students had. During late spring, the group planned to attend a spring retreat involving high school peer groups from Texas and Oklahoma. Senior Wanda Stephens was TAILS president and presided over the monthly meetings of the group. TIGERS ALWAYS INTERESTED IN LISTENING TO STUDENTS (TAILS)-(Botloi� Row) Robin Grccnc. Floy Etta Dean.

The tryout is judged by Mr. Robert Brack, choral director. The Madrigals received the highest ratings possible in the three music festivals that they entered during the year, something that was pleasing to Mr. Brack, who had praise for the group, which ranged in membership from 10 to 12 throughout the year. The festivals included an invitational one at Sylvan Hills High, the district festival at Parkview High, and the state festival at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway.

(Continued From Page 137.) As has been the case for many years, members of Central's bands won top honors in state competitions. These competitions involved both groups of band students and individual band students. If Central's student body could have bestowed awards on any one group within the instrumental music program, however, the awards would have gone to the Jazz Band, which proved very popular with the student body when they appeared in assemblies. Central was one of only a few Arkansas high schools that had a Jazz. Band. This was the first full year for members of the bands to wear new uniforms. The uniforms had been obtain- ed toward the end of last school year after the Little Rock School Board appropriated $25,000 for their purchase. The uniforms were adaptable.” according to MrJ Fletcher. He said they could be worn either for mar- ching or for concerts. (Continued to Page 141.)

And. one entire wall in the Journalism Department is devoted to nothing but awards won in state and national com- petitions by the school’s official student newspaper, the Tiger. When first semester issues of the Tiger this school year were judged All-American in the semi-annual newspaper competi- tion of the National Scholastic Press Association, it became the 42nd consecutive time for the newspaper to win tne title, longer than any other high school publication in the nation. For the second consecutive year, the Tiger appeared on a weekly basis. It was one of a few high school newspapers in the nation that appeared weekly. All students and faculty members were provided the newspaper without charge. It was the fifth consecutive year that the Little Rock School District provided a subsidy to the Tiger staff that allowed for free distribution. Co-editors for the Tiger were junior Claire Farms and senior Cart Elder. The two headed a stall that did all work on the newspaper, except the actual printing. All type was set by stall members. David Wittcnburg and Chip Blenden were the managing editors. Tonya Preston was sports editor. Tiger staff members Mark Garner and Craig Thomas use the student telephone directory cards to check the spelling of names in an artiele.

Tiger Staff—147 Yearbook staff reduces book size because of rising publishing costs Rising publishing costs caused the P1X yearbook stall' to reduce the number of pages in the 1981 edition. We cut 32 pages from the book.” editor Mark Sherrell. a senior, said. However, we think we have provided as much coverage to activities at Central as have previous year- book staffs. Sherrell said the biggest increase in expen- ditures had been in photography. Our photographers experienced extreme difficulty in getting good quality pictures at the first of the year. he said, adding that the photographers spent more money during the first semester alone than had been spent dur- ing the entire year last school year. I'he staff worked with a $25,000 budget. As had been the case with other yearbook valTs. problems other than photography .' ose during the year. When a staff member didn't do what he or she was supposed to do. it meant that other staff members had to be pulled away from their work to do the work for the lazy starter, he said. The editor said that despite the problems, we feel we have a superior yearbook that students will enjoy and treasure in the years to come. The stall conducted a cover design contest among art students. A cover done by senior Debra Stane was selected by the staff. Debra was awarded a S50 prize. The 1980 PIX won top awards in the two major national competitions for high school yearbooks. It was named All-American by the National Scholastic Press Association and Medalist by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Co-editor for the 1981 PIX was senior Hol- ly Kent.

School Board Superintendents Financial woes cause problems for public schools in Little Rock Financial woes caused numerous problems for the Little Rock School Board and Superintendent Paul Masem this school year. And. there was the promise those woes will be with the city schools for some time to come. The financial problems could have been solved to some extent by city voters in the March school election. However, the voters overwhelmingly defeated a proposed eight-mill increase in their school taxes. The financial problems were caused by inflation, a reduction in federal aid. and the inability of the state to increase funding to the schools. Despite the financial problems that caused the Board and Superintendent Masem to make budget cuts, the quality of education in the city schools did not suffer. Superintendent Masem. completing his third year in the position, developed and implemented new programs designed to improve the quality of education offered to students. Working under Mr. Masem were an assistant superintendent — Dr. Carolyn Weddle—and two associate superintendents—Mr. Herb Cleek and Dr. Herb Williams. Members of the School Board, which under state law is responsible for the total operations of schools in its district, were Mr. Robert Henry, president; Rev. C. O. Magee, vice president; Dr. Arthur Gillum, secretary; Mrs. Betty Herron. Mr. T. E. Patterson. Mr. Herbert Rule, and Dr. Pete Sherrill.

He was Mr. Richard Maple, former principal at Forest Heights Junior High. Mr. Maple assumed the position of prin- cipal on July 1, replacing Dr. Morris L. Holmes. Dr. Holmes had resigned as principal at the end of the 1978-79 school year to become associate director of the Arkansas State Department of Education. Mr. Gene Hooks was elevated by the School Board from vice principal to acting principal of Central for the 1979-80 school year while the Board conducted a national search to find a permanent principal. After receiving applications from across the nation for the position, the Board decided that Mr. Maple had the most impressive credentials and offered the job to him. Mr. Hooks, who was praised for his work as acting principal, was elevated to the posi- tion of principal at Horace Mann Junior High. Mr. Maple directed Central High to one of its best school years in several decades. It has been an excellent year. Mr. Maple said, noting that at the first of the school year some people had expressed doubts about the type of sehool year Central would have because of the S4.75 million renovation pro- ject that was underway. The renovation work posed some prob- lems. but we overcame these problems and maintained a high quality of education for each student. he added. A native of Oklahoma.

The emphasis has paid dividends tor the Department in recent years. Students at Central have consistently scored higher than students at other state high schools on national standardized exams. Too. Central has had more winners in the annual writing competitions of the National Council of Teachers of English than has any other state school. Central had two of the state's eight national winners again this year. Because of a lack of money, the Department did not sponsor a Write On. Central competition this school year. The writing competition had been sponsored during each of the previous six school years. It involved each student in school and offered cash prizes to winners. Students are required to take English each year they are in high school. In addition, the English Department offered courses in creative writing, mass media. Afro-American literature, and reading. There were three levels (basic, regular, and honors) for each English course. To encourage students to become more interested in cultural events, the Department sponsored a Tiger Art Guild (TAG) that sponsored trips to various cultural events in the area. Senior English students, taught by Mrs. Cynthia Duscnbcrry. work on an assignment.

Journalism Department Classes provide ‘job ’ experience Almost 160 students received training in classes offered by the Journalism Department. In receiving this training, they published the school newspaper, the Tiger; the yearbook, the PIX: a pictorial magazine, the Tiger Eye; and the student telephone directory. Students in all classes, with the exception of the photography classes, were assigned par- ticular jobs to do on the student publications. It was the second consecutive year for students in the Department to set the type for all of their publications. In addition, they set type and did paste-ups for publications printed by other Departments, such as the Course Listings Bulletin for the Guidance Department. As had been the case in previous years, the Department's publications won top state and national awards. Mr. Charles Lance was faculty adviser for the publications. Foreign Languages Department Classes draw students, despite national trend Enrollment in the nation’s foreign languages courses declined during the 1980-81 school year, according to educational journals. However, enrollment in Central’s foreign languages courses continued to increase. Central had one of the most extensive foreign languages curriculums in the South. The school offered live levels of Spanish, four levels of French, three levels of German, and two levels of Latin. Students enrolled in classes offered by the school’s Foreign Languages Department learned, as evident by the large number of awards they won in competition at regional and state festivals. The festivals allow our students to see how they compare to students from other schools in the state.’’ one of the Department's teachers said. They are also fun ex- periences. providing a reward for the hard work done by the students. In March the Department sponsored a Foreign Languages Week” to call attention to the courses offered by the Department and to encourage students to enroll in them. A variety of activities was sponsored, including a day when foreign languages students dressed in costumes native to the countries whose languages they studied. There was a student club for each foreign language of- fered by the Department. These student clubs met on a monthly basis and conducted a wide variety of activities. Teachers in the Department were Mr. Barry Hardin. Mrs. Pat Nipper. Mrs. Ursula Raia. Dr. Maria Salcedo, and Mr. Robert Swaty. For the benefit of students enrolled in a German I class taught by Mrs. Ursula Raia. Mr. Nick Mcrriweather. a student teacher, plays the guitar and sings German ballads. A wide variety of teaching activities was used in all of the school's foreign languages classes. At the blackboard, sophomore Elaine Carey (left) explains the correct spelling of a word to her Spanish I classmates.

French I students watch their instructor. Mr. Robert Swaty. as he uses a map to point to X pular tourist attractions in Paris. In addition to learning the language of France, the itudcnts also learned a great deal about the French people and their customs. Explaining a project that she did in her Latin I class is sophomore Laurie Nutt. Central was one of only a few high schools in the state that offered Latin, Prior to 1950. Latin was the only foreign language course offered at most schools. Admiring the statue of the tiger in the main entrance foyer is sophomore Arian Ycro. a refugee from Cuba. He was one of approximately 20 students at Cen- tral whose first language was not English, but was a foreign language. Students from foreign countries provide an international flavor to courses in foreign languages There were nearly twenty students at Central this school year whose first language was not English, but a foreign language. These students were often enrolled in courses teaching their native language, providing an international flavor to the courses. One of these students was Arian Yero. a sophomore, w ho was a refugee from Cuba. Yero came to the United States during the summer of 1980. He left Cuba when his mother began to fear for his safety in that na- tion's communist schools. While at Central, he lived with his god-mother. Dr. Maria Salcedo, instructor of Spanish. Dr. Salcedo had been forced to flee her native Cuba when Fidel Castro came to power. Though Ycro could speak no English when he came to the United States, he learned quickly. I want to learn to speak English well, he said. Teachers in the Foreign Languages Department said that Spanish classes helped Yero to learn English. Our Spanish classes are conducted in both English and Spanish.” a teacher in- dicated. Foreign Languages—163 In biology class, sophomores Linda Bailey and Lynn Givens dissect a frog.

Using a microscope in her chemistry class to examine cell specimens is senior Latici Mull who was co-winner with senior David Morgan of this year's Bausch Lomb Scienc Award. The award is presented to the two seniors with the best grade averages in scienct Chairman wins top honor Mrs. Brenda Matthews (at right), in- structor of chemistry and chairman of the science department, was named 1981 Outstanding High School Chemistry Teacher for Central Arkan- sas. She represented central Arkansas in the competition to determine the win- ner of the Southwest regional title. The Southwest region encompasses six states. As the PIX was going to press, the regional winner had not been announc- ed. The competition to determine the outstanding teacher” is sponsored by the American Chemical Society. Winners on the district, regional, and national levels are selected on the quality of teaching, the ability to challenge and inspire students, ex- tracurricular work in chemistry, and willingness to keep up-to-date in the chemistry field. 164—Science Science Department To aid students in a biology clavs in learning about reptiles, birds, and mammals. Mrs. Janis VanHook plays an educational game with them. Each teacher in the Science Department used a wide variety of audio-visual aids during the year. These aids were popular with the students. A lab period in biology is used by students to study bugs and insects. Beverly Palmer and Linda Jackson use a microscope to study a bee. Ron Johnson and Veronica Hampton study a section of a beehive. All students arc required to take a course in biology before they can graduate. Classes keep abreast of changes in science Recognized as one of the best-equipped high school science departments in the South, Central’s Science Department offered a wide range of courses. These in- cluded biology (required of all students), physical science, physics, chemistry, and human physiology. Several were offered on different levels of instruction. Each class in the Department, which was chaired by Mrs. Brenda Matthews, attempted to keep informed of the latest happenings in the scientific world. We want each course to be relevant.” Mrs. Matthews said. Teachers had the latest audio-visual aids to help them in teaching their classes, including an Apple II micro- computer, which was very helpful” in teaching physics. Students also were taken on numerous field trips throughout the school year. An oral report on space is given by senior Pete Sherrill in his physics class, taught by Mr. Willie Harris. Sherrill uses a map of The Heavens to illustrate the report. Oral reports were required often. For an assignment in his chemistry class, junior Mark Jenkins works on an experiment. Each chemistry student conducted many experiments. Time paaaea quickly in sixth period chemistry class as students work on one of their many experiments. Science—165 Social Studies Department Rapid changes in world create interest in classes Because the last half of 1980 and the first half of 1981 were fill- ed with numerous historical events, classes in the Social Studies Department gained more student interest. It seemed that our students this year were more aware of what was happening in the world. Mr. Jerome Muldrcw, chairman of the Social Studies Department, said. He mentioned the November general election, the release of the Americans held hostage by Iran, and the nation’s economic conditions as things that the students followed closely. Though textbooks served as the main teaching tool in Social Studies classes, teachers again this school year made use of numerous individual, group, and classroom projects that were designed to provide extra knowledge to students. The sociology classes again used PIX yearbooks from previous years for a special project, government classes studied the Arkan- sas Gazette on a daily basis, most classes took several field trips during the year, all classes viewed films on subjects relating to their studies, all classes had guest speakers, and all classes par- ticipated in a special Law Week. Courses offered were American history, world history, American government, sociology, and psychology. Impeding a program they brought home from a week's visit to a Close-Up Forum in Washington. O.C.. arc (bottom row) Mr. Jim Hodnctt. instructor of social studies, and junior Chcrc Jones; and (top row) senior Lisa Mathis and junior Kristi Davis. Close-Up Forums are conducted each week throughout the school year and bring thousands of high school students from across the nation to Washington where they are allowed to gain a firsthand look at operations of the national government. For a project in psychology, junior Ray McGhee and senior Jim Von Steen learn to use tarot cards, which some people contend can be used to predict events in the future.

Government leaders often have children enrolled at Central Because Little Rock serves as the state capital for Arkansas, many state officials have children enrolled at Cen- tral High School. One of the state's highest officials with a child enrolled at Central this school year was Mrs. Julia Hughes Jones, who became state auditor on January 13 after having been elected to the post in November. Mrs. Jones, a Democrat, is shown with her daughter, senior Betsy Hughes, at left. Because many state officials had children enrolled at Central, the Social Studies Department received numerous benefits. The children of these officials were often enrolled in classes in the Social Studies Department and could share firsthand experiences relating to state government. Too. these state officials often visited at Central and were more than willing to speak to classes. The officials knew many students at Central by their first names. The visits of these officials made Social Studies classes more meaningful. Students at Central, too. often work- ed in the offices of state officials during the summer. Some students served as pages for the Arkansas State Legislature when it convened in Little Rock in January. Social Studies—167 Under the supervision of their teacher. Mrs. Brenda James, who is seated in the back of the room, math students solve textbook problems. An overhead projector is used by Mr. Billy Watson in instructing his Algebra II students.

Miss Holmes uses the board to explain the procedures for solving a problem. Approximately one-half of the student body was enrolled in at least one math course this school year, according to Mrs. Emily Faulkner, Department chairman. Mrs. Faulkner said that interest in math courses has been steadily rising each year” and that the Department now of- fered nine courses—general math. Math II. Algebra I. Algebra II. intermediate algebra, geometry, statistics, trigonometry, and calculus. Mrs. Faulkner noted that students in the Math Department scored much higher than the national average on standardi .cd exams, which she said was a credit to the teachers in her Department. Math—169 Business Education Department Students get new machines for executive training use As has been the case for several decades, the Business Education Department again this year attempted to have modern up-to-date equipment in its classrooms so that students would encounter little dif- ficulty if they decided to go to work in some area of business upon graduation from high school. New equipment added this year included several calculators, in- cluding a programmable one for use in the junior executive training class. Several new IBM typewriters were also added for the typewriting and shorthand classes. The Business Education Department, chaired by Mrs. Ruth Carter, had the most extensive curriculum of any department at Central. Courses ranged from different levels of accounting to different levels of typewriting and from simulated office practice to office machines. Our curriculum is about the same as what would be found at one of the better trade schools.” Mrs. Carter said. Mrs. Carter is one of the South’s best-known business education teachers, having served in numerous positions, including the presiden- cy. of the Southern Business Education Association. Junior executive training student Bruce James, a senior, uses a new calculator purchased during the school year. In Shorthand II class, senior Ann Bell (above) takes dictation.

Approximate!, 165 students were enrolled in the instrumental music program during the 1980-81 term Music Department Talented students perform for public A large number of Central students this school year had music talents—talents that were cultivated in a wide variety of programs offered by the Music Department. These programs included an orchestra, several bands, and several choirs that made numerous public appearances at Central and in the com- munity. Students in both divisions of the Department (the vocal music division and the instrumental music division) won numerous awards in competi- tion with music students from other high schools. There were approximately 165 students enrolled in the instrumental division and approximately 125 enrolled in the vocal division.

L A A A A J Art Department Work done by students benefits general public The general public reaped numerous benefits from the work done by students in the Art Department this school year. For example, students in the poster design classes made hundreds of posters for various school and civic groups, the various art classes did the sets for the school's major spring drama, and art students worked on designs for the senior class prom in May. In local and state competitions, the art students won numerous awards, something that was pleasing to the Depart- ment’s two instructors—Mr. Lee Anthony and Mr. Robert McDonald. In teaching their classes, the two instructors took their classes on numerous field trips, including one to a fine arts festival at Henderson State University in Arkadclphia during October. Working with watercolors, the art students in Mr. Robert McDonald's sixth period class do an assignment.

As a result, enrollment increased in the courses. It seems that more and more students want to take voca- tional courses but they don’t want to travel to Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center to take them.” a counselor said in explaining the enrollment increase. The most popular courses in the Department were the five work programs which allowed the students to earn money while learning valuable job skills. Those in the work programs attended classes at Central for one-half day and then worked at local jobs the other one-half day. Approximately 260 students were enrolled in the five work programs, which were the distributive education pro- gram. the industrial cooperative training program, the coordinated careers education program, the health occupa- tions program, and the cooperative office education pro- gram. Other courses offered by the Department were drafting, mechanical drawing, architectural drafting, engineering drafting, woodshop. and distributive education lab.

Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center again this school year experienced a decline in its enrollment. There were 730 students enrolling at Metro this school year as com- pared to 1.050 during the previous school year. It was the third con- secutive year for enrollment to decline at Metro, something that caused concern for Little Rock School District officials. When it opened in 1964. Metropolitan was hailed by educational jour- nals as being one of the finest vocational and technical schools in the South.” The school is located in the city’s industrial district at 7701 Scott Hamilton Drive. There were 24 different course programs offered at Metro this school year. These courses ranged from bricklaying to horticulture and from radio broadcasting to printing. No academic courses were offered at Metro. Students at the school at- tended classes there for one-half day sessions and then attended regular secondary schools for one-half day sessions. Free bus transportation was provided from regular secondary schools to Metro. Approximately 120 of the students in attendance at Metro were from Central. For the first time ever.

There were 114 dedicated men and women assigned to meet the educational needs of students. In addition, there were approximately 60 men and women who were listed as “support personnel.” Principal Maple was quick throughout the school year to praise his teaching stall as well as those administrators who worked under him.

Faculty members give time outside school in sponsoring numerous clubs for students Approximately 50 different student organizations functioned at Central during the 1980-81 school year. Each had aj least one faculty sponsor—a sponsor who was expected to be in attendance at the organization’s meetings. Since no time was allowed during the school day for meetings by these organizations, the spon- sor had to arrange his or her schedule to be present for the before-school or after-school meetings. In addition, many of the clubs attended conventions or work- shops, often outside Little Rock, that required the sponsor to be in attendance. “There’s lots more to teaching than just lecturing a class and grading papers or doing other paperwork,’’ one of the faculty members said. “If we’re going to have a good educational program, we have to sponsor extra- curricular activities for our students—activities that take lots of the teacher’s time.” MRS.

Faculty members supervised behavior at all assemblies. Helping Hands Members of staff lend assistance to those who need or request it; make contributions to community Members of Central’s faculty not only provided assistance to their students, but they also gave valuable assistance to the community. Teachers contributed almost 50 pints of blood during the year to Red Cross, they contributed more than 52,000 to the Pulaski County United Way. and they were active in civic af- fairs. Many teachers did volunteer work in the community. For example, several worked during the evenings or on weekends at area hospitals. They were active in affairs of about a dozen churches in the city. During the 1980 elections, many teachers were actively in- volved in campaigning for their candidates. They did such things as manning the telphones at campaign headquarters and passing out literature at shopping centers. Teachers are citizens of the community, too, one teacher said. It’s the duty of each citizen to see that his community is a good one in which to live. Citizens have to involve themselves in charities if they care about their communities. I like Little Rock and I want it to be a good city for both myself and my family. Holding her grandchildren is Mrs. Geneva Howerton (above), instructor of speech.

Members of its class won more state and national honors than did seniors at any other state high school. Even one of its members—Eric Bilsky—was recognized as the state’s smartest student as the result of scoring highest on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The 492 members of the senior class filled the major leadership roles in the school and set the pace for the sophomores and juniors to follow. Many activities filled the year for the seniors, including their traditional class ban- quet on April 24 and their prom on May 22. Directing these activities were the three senior class officers. They were Jeff McCoy, president; Keith Gibson, vice president; and Ratting her finger to signify that Central High School is No. 1 among high schools in Arkansas, senior Tamm Harpolc sits atop the statue of the school's mascot, the tiger.

Going Down Though it's dangerous, repelling gains crowd of dedicated followers Repelling is a sport that seems as if it would have few followers, especially at the high school level. Yet, that was not the case at Central High School during the 1980-81 school year. The sport had at least a do .en avid participants. Perhaps the most avid participant was senior Stewart Levy. Anything that was tall, whether a building or a mountain, was a challenge for Levy. It was a challenge that he probably conquered at least once during the year. Levy said that the equipment needed for repelling cost him “about $200,” adding that “cheap equipment can kill.” The equipment needed includes boots, gloves, ropes, and a harness. He said the Ozark Mountains, around Fayetteville, were his favorite place” in Arkansas to go repelling, “especially on a nice summer day. With relative cave, Levy nears the halfway point of repelling the building. It wasn't much of a challenge for me. the senior said.

Several aluminum recycling centers operated in Little Rock during the year, offering approximate one cent for each aluminum can. “You can easily pick up S3 or S4 worth of cans in an hour, a senior said, adding that busy streets and city parks were tht ideal place to find cans.

Jncle Sam Wants Central's Tigers Military finds supporters among school's seniors; Army holds No. 1 rank wing an Intereat in joining a branch of the military upon graduation from high school, seniors Marcus ott and Charles Adams talk with Sgt. Charles Smith of the U.S. Marine Corps. It was estimated that ap- ximatcly 100 members of the senior class would join one of the branches of the military upon graduation. Large numbers of Central’s seniors, both male and female, talked with the various military recruiters when they visited at Cen- tral. Many of these students indicated that they would join the military upon graduation. ‘‘We’ve had an increase in the number of high school graduates joining the Army each year for the past three or four years,” an Army recruiter indicated. The recruiter said he had noticed “a great amount of patriotism” among students at the high school level, citing this as one reason there has been more interest in the military. The recruiter also said that the rising cost of a college education and the fact that jobs are hard to find also contributed to student interest in the military. Of all branches of the military, the Army gained the most recruits among students. It was estimated that approximately 100 members of the senior class would enlist in one of the branches of the military following graduation.

Special English assignment requires work, work, work! Moans and groans were usually heard from senio English students when their teachers assigned thos dreaded research papers. The students knew that they would have to devot hours and hours of work to the project. Many night would be spent in the public library or at horn reading books from the school library. There woult be many more nights devoted to writing note cards making bibliography cards, and finally writing th paper. Then would come typing the paper.

The party was at the home of Peter Brave, a I960 graduate of Central, parties were a popular form of entertainment for most of the seniors, as well as for underclassmen. Fun Games Partying ranks Number 1 for weekend fun activities When weekends rolled around, the first ques- tion that popped in the minds of most students during the 1980-81 school year was, “Where’s the big party? Partying was the favorite weekend entertain- ment activity for the vast majority of Central’s seniors. Since the parties were held in the homes of in- dividual students and since they sometimes got a little on the wild” side, many parents wouldn’t allow the parties. Finding a party wasn’t always easy. The parties best remembered by students were those during holiday periods, such as at Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, as well as that all-night one following commencement. Loud music, lots of good food and drinks, and a big crowd were the main ingredients for a suc- cessful party. “You can let yourself go and have a crazy time at a party,” senior Bill Payne said. You can’t at a movie or a football game. KAROLE HATCH. BRENDA FAYE HAT- CHETT, Pep Club 10; French Club 10; Cheerleader 11. 12.

Helping When school day ends most students go home to do 'required' chore: In the kitchen, senior Vclvceta Walker helps her mother cook dinner. Most seniors said that when the school day- ended. they were required by their parents to go home and do chores. I don’t mind helping out around the house. Vclvceta said. In fact, cooking is something that I enjoy doing and something I want to do. Some people accuse teens of being lazj Maybe some teens are lazy. The vaj majority at Central during the 1980-8 school year, however, were hard-working conscientious young adults. Most of the teens spent a day at schoc and then had to go home to do chore demanded of them by their parents. In ac dition. there was often homework to do.J Finding enough hours in the day to d all 1 have to do and have some fun too cal be hard, one senior said. Another senior said that she worked at I local discount store when she got out ( school. “Yet, when I get home, I still ha to clean my room and do my homework, she added. What were some of the chores? Cooking, cleaning house, washir clothes, ironing, working in the yard, tending to young brothers and sisters mentioned. 212- -Senior KIMBERLY MICHELLE HUGHES, Dis- tributive Education 11. 12; Future Homemakers of America 12.

Pacemakers Senior doss sets pace for underclassmen, especially when it comes to showing spirit Tradition demands that seniors provide student leadership for the school. The senior class of 1981 certainly did not let tradition fall by the wayside. The seniors indeed set the pace for the other two classes to follow. At pep assemblies, the seniors yelled the loudest, even though they were far outnumbered by the other classes. On dress-up days associated with Homecom- ing Week, the seniors again set the pace. A look at the honor roll revealed that nearly twice as many seniors as juniors and sophomores were on the roll. A look at the list of club officers revealed that more than two-thirds of the organizations had seniors as their presiding of- ficers. It's great to be a senior, David Wittenburg said. You're familiar with all the activities and you know how much fun they can be. Sophomores don't know exactly what to expect. Juniors are really just learning about them. Actually, the seniors at Central set the pace for the entire state. For example, more Central seniors were named National Merit Scholarship Program semifinalists and finalists than seniors at any other state school. Seniors at Cen- tral won more state and national honors than did the seniors at any two other high schools combined. There's lots of prestige in being a senior at a school like Central.” Lann Cook said. MARION (BUSTER) McFEE, ROTC 10. 11. 12. Drill Team Commander 12. KIMBERLY KAY McGHEE, Bela Club 10.

Expenses It takes lots of money ho pay all expenses 'required' of seniors Public education is free, according to itate officials. Parents of graduating seniors will tell ou a different story. The average senior paid approx- mately $50 for graduation an- louncements and cards. It took nother $100 to get through the tradi- ional class banquet and prom. Then, here was the $18 for a yearbook. Add nother $80 for ‘‘official” portraits. Of course, a senior didn’t have to urchase any of these things, but he ould certainly feel ‘‘left out” if he idn’t. “I don’t mind the expenses of the inior year,” one parent said. “I’m just lankful to know that my child is get- ng a high school diploma.” To get the best possible prices on an- Duncements, cards, yearbooks, and artraits, the school took competitive ids, awarding the contracts to the west bidders. During the fall, senior Mark Fields orders his invitations and cards for commencement. The average senior spent S50 for the invitations and cards. But, if you want to get graduation presents from all your friends and relatives, you have to spend the money on the invitations and cards that are mailed out, one senior observed. Seniors—219 A summer afternoon provides an excellent opportunity for senior David Matthews to do some target practice with his rife, which is a Coll AH-15 semi-automatic. Shooting Many male students value rifle ownership; use it for hunting or in shooting competitions One of the most prized possessions for many male students was their rifle. Often the rifle had been previously owned by a grandfather and passed on to the grand- son. The rifles were mainly used for hunting. However, several of the students entered shooting, or marksmanship, competitions. Senior David Matthews owned a Colt AR-15 semi-automatic, a rifle that he used mainly for target practice and sometimes for hunting. “A rifle is something that you can keep and use for a lifetime,” he said. School officials noted that attendance, mainly for male seniors, fell during hunting season. The deer season in the fall is when we have the largest number of absentees because of hunting, a school official said. Hunting licenses were easy to obtain. They were available at any sports store and at many department stores. The only requirement was to be at least 16 years of age and to pay a $7.50 fee. Squirrel hunting and quail hunting ranked second and third, respectively, in popularity among students. JOHN SHEPHERD, Vocational Industrial Club of America 11. 12.

Talent Whether its music or dromo, locol residents receive benefit from tolents of Centrol seniors There were many talented students in the 1981 graduating class. The community benefited from the talents of these students. For example, there were students with music talents who performed in public concerts or at civic events and there were students with acting talents who appeared in plays around the city. One of the seniors with music talents was Karen Hughes, who sang often in productions both at Central and in the community. She also sang in her church choir. As a sophomore she appeared in Central’s production j)f “South Pacific.” Mr. Robert Brack, choral director, jbserved her singing abilities and recruited her for the ichool’s choirs. As a member of the choirs, she gained the state’s highest recognition. She was named to the All-State bhoir. Karen said she is undecided about the future. She vants a career either in music or accounting. Holding her mutic, senior Karen Hughes practices for an appearance with the school’s Madrigal Singers. Karen was noted for her singing talents. Juniors Take Active Roles They fill major positions in clubs Though it was called the middle class.” the junior class often was at the top of Central's three classes in many stu- dent activities. A look at the different student organiza- tions functioning at Central revealed that the juniors had more officers than did the seniors or sophomores. There were also more juniors than seniors or sophomores appearing in the schools traditional talent shows. The juniors also had their share on the school's honor rolls, on the stall’s of student publications, on the rosters of The only elective officials in the class were two senators—Jett Clancy and Claire Parins. The two conducted all major business for the class in addition to representing the class on the Principal's Cabinet and the Student Council Ex- ecutive Committee. Working closely with the class were a vice principal—Mrs. Othello Faison—and two counselors—Mrs. Linda Porter and Miss Ma .ie Brown. They had also worked with the class during the previous year. It’s a very good class to work with. Mrs. Faison said. athletic teams, etc. There were 607 members of the junior class. Highlighting the year for the juniors was the arrival of their senior class rings in early December. At the end of a class period, students fill one of the hal as they change classes. Of the 1.771 students enrolled j Central this school year. 607 were eleventh grader To the delight of the student body, junior Leslie Darwin sings at the traditional Beta Club Talent Show that was in December. In addition to being an accomplished singer. Leslie was also a talented actress, filling top roles in dramatic productions. During mid-December, junior Steve Wilson, junior Rugcnc Hayes, and senior Welton Alexander perform for the benefit of the student body. There were many talented students at Central this school year—students who performed often.

Two packages were available—one for $5.25 and one of $7.50. The pictures in both packages were in full color. The price of the $7.50 package at most local photography studios was estimated to be ‘‘around $35. The pictures purchased by the under- classmen were usually given to friends and relatives. ‘‘My mother encloses one of my school pic- tures in the Christmas cards she sends to relatives each year, one junior girl in- dicated, adding that she had purchased both the $5.25 and the $7.50 packages. Approximately 80 per cent of the sophomores and juniors had pictures made for the 1981 PIX yearbook, according to the journalism department. Looking over pictures that she purchased from the yearbook photographer is junior Marilyn Ross. She pu chased the S7.50 package, which was estimated to cost around $35 at most area photography studios.

One of 'favorite' foods for Little Rock teenagers becomes costly because of summer's drought Peanut butter is one of the favorite foods of most Little Rock teenagers. In previous years, it had been one of the most inexpensive foods that could be pur- chased at the local grocery store. That, however, changed during the 1980-81 school year. Because of the drought during the sum- mer. farmers produced less than one-half the peanuts normally produced. The result was that products containing peanuts began showing a drastic increase in price. In early September, an eight ounce jar of Jiff Peanut Butter was priced at 89 cents at area Kroger stores. On January 1. the price had increased to SI.39. A representative for the Kroger stores predicted that the price would be around SI.80 for an eight ounce jar before the end of the school year. Ei joying a sandwich of peanut butter and jelly (left) are juniors Susan Murphy and Bridgctte Davidson. Peanut butter was one of the favorite foods of most Little Rock teenagers. (Below) Bridgctte studies the price of a jar of peanut butter at a local grocery store. A summer drought seriously hurt the peanut crop, sending peanut prices up.

Ring! Students spend lots of time talking on their telephones; contend it avoids boredom What does the average high school student do when he or she is at home with nothing exciting be- ing offered on television? The typical student turns to the telphone. I know 1 spend lots of time on the phone,” one junior said. But, talking on the phone with friends is a great way to avoid boredom. The importance of the telephone in the lives of high school students could easily be shown this year in the sale of the school’s student telephone direc- tory.” Next to the PIX yearbook, the student telephone directory is our most popular publica- tion, Mr. Charles Lance, adviser to student publications, said.

In a survey conducted by members of the Tiger staff, water skiing ranked as the most popular sport for students. Baseball was ranked second. More than 90 per cent of Central’s student body ir dicatcd that they participate in some type of sports activity according to a poll conducted in early November b members of the Tiger newspaper staff. Skiing ranked first on the list of sports mentioned in th poll. One reason that skiing ranked first is probably because c the numerous lakes and streams located in the centr; Arkansas area. However, skiing is an expensive sport, according to junit Doug Homcyer. A good boat and a good set of water skit can set you back several thousands of dollars,” he said. Homeyer also said that there is a launching fee each tim a skier put his boat into the water. Even though water skiing is classified as a summer spor many students use wet suits to go skiing during the wintt months. Even on the coldest days of the year, skiers can b seen on nearby lakes and streams. Other sports mentioned by students, in order of rani were baseball, basketball, softball, tennis, racketball, gol soccer, swimming, fishing, horseback riding, hunting, an flying frisbees.

This year’s juniors were no exception, according to the counselors who worked with them. Most of the juniors were enrolled in courses that would help prepare them for those careers. For example, students wanting to enter medical careers were enrolled in such courses as chemistry. To help students more fully understand the careers they plan to enter and to aid those students who had not decided upon future careers, the school’s guidance department sponsored a Career Day dur- ing the winter. Speakers from various fields spoke on their careers at the annual activity. The school's guidance department also had extensive information available to students about all occupations and profes- sions known to exist in the United States. In architectural drawing, junior Glenn Harris works on an assignment. He took the course because he said he wants to become an architect. I try to take all courses here at Central that I think will help me when I go to col- lege to actually train to become an architect. he said. Most juniors know what careers they plan to enter.

The award is presented annually to the school’s most outstanding sophomore. To be considered for the award, a sophomore had to submit an application and write a 100-word essay. A faculty committee, head- ed by Mrs. Kay Taylor, chairman of the English department, then made the selection. Angela attended a two and one-half day state leadership con- ference during the spring along with winners of the award from other schools. A state winner was selected at the conference. The award honors Mr. Hugh O’Brian. a movie and television ac- tor. Mr. O’Brian believes that the nation’s high schools do very lit- tle to aid in the leadership development of sophomores, saying that schools often have regulations that prevent the sophomores from holding responsible positions in student government. State winners annually attend a national conference which features some of the nation’s top leaders from business and govern- ment. Angela was active this year in affairs of the Pep Club.

Registration was conducted during early August. To aid the sophomores. Student Council sponsored an orientation program during registration. Anticipation Sophs soy they come to Centrol not reolly sure of their futures; adjustment takes very little time Practically all sophomores said they came to Central not really sure of what the year would bring for them. However, nearly all said they looked forward all summer to the day they would enroll at Central and become Tigers. Central is a very large school, sophomore Lisa Clark said. Sophomores have spent three years at a junior high. They knew practically everybody in the junior high. They come to Central and they see the faces of many, many strangers. It can be a little frightening. Lisa quickly added that most everybody is friendly and it doesn’t take very long to become adjusted. To aid sophomores in knowing what to expect. Student | Council sponsored an orientation program for them several weeks prior to the opening of the school year. Daily pro- cedures were explained during the program.

Students sacrifice hours o record activities of year Their faces were very familiar to all students :nrolled at Central. The faces belonged to a group of dedicated tudents who devoted numerous hours each reek to recording the activities of the year for Central's yearbook, the PIX. These students could be seen taking pictures n the classrooms, in the halls, at assemblies, at Tiger athletic events, and just about everywhere hat their classmates congregated. Many weeks I’ve devoted more than 40 hours lone to working on yearbook photography. pphomorc Steve Thomas said. It hurts my bcial life and perhaps my grades in my other lourses. but it’s something I wanted to do. Thomas said his grandfather had been a hotographer and that when he died. “I in- lerited his cameras and equipment.” Six students were involved in taking pictures pr the PIX and for other student publications ublished by the Journalism Department. A course in photography was offered by the :hool to teach students the proper techniques f taking pictures. AdjusUng hU camera, yearbook photographer Steve Thomas, a sophomore, takes pictures of students ar- riving for classes.

The Soda War Pepsi, Coke War lowers price: helps those on limited budge Does Pepsi taste best? Or docs Coke taste best? That question was heard often by students during i school year. It was heard at “tasting booths located shopping center and on radio and television comm cials. The result was that a war” waged between i makers of Pepsi and Coke. The “war brought so bargain prices for shoppers. For example. Kroger sto sold six one-liter bottles of Coke for only 79 cents duri January.

It returned via the city’s young people, including high school students at Central. Youths dressed in western-style clothing and listened to western music. More interest was shown in rodeo competi- tions, both as competitors and as spectators. Parties and dances often had western themes. Even the school’s Beta Club talent show, presented as a pay assembly for the student body, had a theme of The Wild West. Dressing western, or cowboy, can be mighty expensive, pardner,” one sophomore said. A good pair of boots will set you back a hundred bucks or so. A good hat is around 75 bucks. Then, they don’t give away Levis and western shirts, you know.” The interest in the Old West could also be seen on a drive through Little Rock. There were clubs with western names, such as Cowboy Disco, and several came complete with mechanical bucking bulls. There were new western clothing stores. And. even lots of the billboards had pic- tures of cowboys and cowgirls advertising products. Performing for students at the Beta Club talent show in December is sophomore Robert Ford. Reflecting the interest of the city's youth in western clothing and music, the show had a theme of The Wild West.

Yellow Subs Those big yellow busei provide transportation for numerous students Often called “yellow submarines” t students who rode them, school buses pn vided transportation to and from scho for approximately 450 (25 per cent) « Central’s student body. “Almost one-half of the student boc lives one mile or more from Central ar thus would be eligible to ride our scho buses, a Little Rock School District o ficial said. However, many students disliked tl idea of riding the buses. They opted drive their own cars or to “car pool” wii friends in their neighborhoods. Busing was used by the School Distri to achieve desegregation in its schools. A Gallup Poll released in September i dicated that approximately 57 per cent the nation’s adults opposed busing.

Workshops, field trips give students on 'excused' absence from school Students got the opportunity to be legally absent from classes numerous times during the year. Workshops, field trips, and conventions allowed students to get an excused absence from any classes that they might have missed. We feel that field trips, workshops, and conventions arc very educational and benefit our students, a school official said. However, we attempt to limit the number so that students will not miss an excessive number of days from their classes. Most classes took at least one field trip during the year.

Kindergarten Approximately 60 five-year-olds enroll in oldest program in state There were approximately 60 five-year-olds enrolled in the school’s kindergarten program, which was established when Central opened in 1927 and which is the oldest in the state. The kindergarten program at Central is operated mainly to provide training in parenting to students enrolled in the Home Economics Department. High school students enrolled in several of the Department’s courses work very closely with the kindergarten students. The three kindergarten teachers taught a wide variety of things to their students, including the alphabet, numbers, basic shapes, colors, etc. The learning was accomplished through fun activities. Holiday periods were the most fun in kindergarten, ac- cording to the students. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter provided special activities for them. For example, Santa visited at Christmas and an egg hunt was held at Easter.

I had been sports editor of the Tiger and had some practical experience in writing. I became sports editor of the Gazette at 18. moonlighting from my studies at Little Rock Universi- ty. 1 had one part-time assis- tant to help me at the time. I think Central provided me with a good, basic education. I think it also provided a good education to my four sons, in- cluding my oldest son. Butch Henry (Orville III), now sports information director at the University of Arkansas. Even though I don't cover sports ac- tivities at Central, my position allows me to keep up with the school's teams. 1 have a great deal of pride in the sports tradition at Central. Of course. ORVILLE HENRY Sports Editor Arkansas Gazette I also take pride in all ac- complishments of the school. In addition to getting a good basic education at Central. I also made many friends while there — friends whom I still see.

Call Metropolitan Trust For Your Insurance Needs ‘•Central has been part of my life for longer than I care to remember. I graduated from Central on July 11. 1942. During that period of time, you could graduate early by cither skipping grades or by going to summer school. I recall that Cen- tral had three commence- ment exercises a year during that period of time. I went to work here at Central as a secretary after graduation. I've worked here 28 years and enjoyed almost every day of it. There is a great faculty—a faculty nice to work with and a faculty that cares about its students. I think students are fortunate to be going to school here. MRS. JEANNE McDERMOTT Secretary 266—Advertisements --------------------------------- the TIGER LITTLE ROCK CENTRAL.

Central’s students won more awards in competitions than did students at any other state school, there were few discipline problems in the classrooms, and. based on standardized exams, much learning took place in the classrooms. Three events highlighted the year—the S4.75 million renovation of the main building, the arrival of a new principal, and the showing of a movie on national television about the school’s 1957 integra- tion crisis. The S4.75 million renovation project began during the summer. It is expected to be completed by October of 1981. The new principal—Mr. Richard Maple—assumed his position on July 1. replacing Dr. Morris L. Holmes who did not return to Central following a sab- batical leave. Dr. Holmes actually resigned as prin- cipal at the end of the 1978-79 school year to become associate director of the State Department of Education. During the 1979-80 school year. Mr. Gene Hooks had served as acting prin- cipal. Mr. Hooks had previously been a vice principal. At the start of the 1980-81 school year, he was named to become prin- cipal at Horace Mann Junior High. Mr. Maple came to Central from Forest Heights Junior High, where he had been principal. Mr. Maple was not completely un- familiar with Central when he arrived to become principal. He had served during the 1975-76 school year as Central’s dean of students. The movie. ‘‘Crisis at Central High. was based on a diary written by Mrs. Elizabeth Huckaby. who was dean of girls at Central during the school’s 1957 in- tegration crisis. The movie featured Joanne Woodward in the lead role. It was shown on the CBS Television Net- work in early February. Here’s how the 1980-81 school year went: AUGUST The 1980-81 school year officially began on Monday. August 25. At the end of the first week of classes. Central’s enrollment stood at 1.771. which was a decline of 150 students over the previous school year. Racially, 57 per cent of the students who enrolled were black. The heat wave that started plaguing Arkansas in early July continued, causing classes to be dismissed early when the temperature reached or exceeded 100 degrees. That was practically every school day in August. Three foreign exchange students arrived for a year’s study at Central. They were Miki Ebara of Japan. Christina Freitas of Brazil, and Peggy Holder of Barbados. Appearing in an all-student assembly on the 28th was Rev. Jesse Jackson, the noted civil rights leader who is director of a pro- gram called PUSH for Excellence. Rev. Jackson visited Central to encourage the Little Rock School District to adopt his program for use at Central, something that the School Board did a few hours after his appearance. SEPTEMBER September was a month that saw Cen- tral gain numerous honors. It was announced that the Tiger had won All-American in the semi-annual newspaper competition of the National Scholastic Press Association. It was the 42nd consecutive semester for the Tiger to receive the All-American title. Thirteen seniors were named semi- finalists in the 1980-81 National Merit Scholarship Program. Central had more semifinalists than any other high school in the state. The semifinalists were Amanda An- drews. Eric Bilsky. Jeff Bullard. Mike Cor- nett. Cindy Gattis. Susan Hicks, Thomas Meade, David Morgan. Laticia Mull. Jeff Roth. Susan Russell. Sherry Taylor, and Mary Alice Ward. For the third consecutive year, a Central student made the state's highest score on the National Merit exam and gained the unofficial title of Arkansas' Smartest High School Student. He was Eric Bilsky. Three seniors—Roderick Calvin. Sheila Henry, and Bettye Willis—were named semifinalists in the annual National Achievement Scholarship Program for Outstanding Negro Students. Central had more semifinalists than any other high school in the state. OCTOBER The 1980 PIX yearbook was named to receive the All-American Award in the an- nual yearbook competition of the National Scholastic Press Association. All- American is the highest award obtainable. Teachers at Central and other schools in the District complained about the ex- cessive amount of paperwork being caused by new School District policies in regard to teacher evaluations and citizenship grading. The School Board indicated that it would study the complaints. Sophomores elected Leslie Trawick, Missy Darwin, and Gwen Hodge as their class senators. Open House drew approximately 50C parents to the school on the 19th to visit in the classrooms of their children. The an nual event was sponsored by the school’? Parent-Teachcr-Student Association. Homecoming Week was observed dur- ing the last week of the month. A variety o: events, including a parade, was sponsorec by Student Council. Named Homecoming Queen was senior Kim Mitchell. Two seniors—Eric Bilsky and Susai Russell—were named state winners anc finalists in the 1980 Achievement Award Writing Competition sponsored by the Na tional Council of Teachers of English Central was the only high school in Arkan sas with two finalists. A book that provides an indepth look a Central High School during the school' 1957 integration crisis went on sal throughout the nation. The book. Crisi at Central High. was written by Mrs Elizabeth Huckaby. who was on Central' faculty for nearly 40 years before retirin in 1969. She was dean of girls during th crisis. The book was based on a diary kept b Mrs. Huckaby during the 1957-58 schot year. The diary was the basis for a movi that had been made during the sumnu for showing on the CBS Television Ne work. NOVEMBER Highlighting the month were the m tional election, football, and Thanksgi ing.

JANUARY Angela Womack was named the school's most outstanding sophomore” and received the 1981 Hugh O’Brian Youth Foundation Award. It was announced that the Little Rock School District would seek an increase of eight mills in its school tax. It was the largest tax increase ever sought by the District. Retta Cooper, a senior, won the 1981 Arkansas Junior Miss title in a pageant at Pine Bluff. The statue of the tiger that had stood on the back campus was moved inside. Money was raised for the project by members of the school’s ROTC and by tudent Council.

Seniors David Morgan and Laticia Mull were named recipients of the school’s Bausch Lomb Science Award, which is presented yearly to the two seniors who have the highest grades in science courses. MARCH Elections drew the most attention in March. There were two elections that drew at- tention from students—the annual Little Rock School District election and the stu- dent body elections. In the School District election, which was on the 10th. voters defeated the pro- posed eight-mill tax increase by an over- whelming margin. Two School Board seats were also decided in the election. The seats were won by Mr. Herb Rule and Mrs. Fay Southern. In the student body elections, junior Rob Bass was elected 1981-82 president to succeed Kristi Griffith. The school’s major dramatic production of the year. “Once Upon a Mattress. was presented. The production received ac- claim from the audiences in attendance at the various performances. The Tiger basketball season ended. The Tigers completed the season with a 15-9 overall record and an 11-5 conference record. The convention season opened for clubs. Students from Central captured numerous awards in contests at these conventions. APRIL Spring weather prevailed throughout April, a month that saw Central’s spring sports teams capture numerous honors. The first of the traditional end-of-the- year activities for the seniors was staged. It was the senior class banquet, which was on the 16th at Camelot Inn. A project undertaken by the child development classes, taught by Mrs. Joan Diet , continued to gain national atten- tion. The project involved her students taking infants and playing games with them that were designed to stimulate men- tal growth. MAY Final exams and many end-of-the-year activities were on the minds of students. The activities were highlighted by the traditional senior class prom on the 22nd at Camelot Inn. Baccalaureate was on the 24th with At- torney General Steve Clark as guest speaker. Commencement was on the 28th at Barton Coliseum. To kr p students informed of the weekly happenings at Central.

The Tiger was one of a few weekly high school newspapers in the nation. Success in football for several students, including tailback Mark Fields who gains yardage for the Tigers in their game with Parkview, meant scholar- ships. Fields got a scholarship to the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Happiness in life means being in good health. Juniors Diana Nelson and Karen McCann try to keep in shape at a local health spa. For most students, the first major purchase in their lives will be an automobile. Senior Sarah Brooks finds, though, that the price tag for a new ear can be an unpleasant sight. Students realize that society now considers automobile ownership to be a mark of success. Before they graduate from high school, many students—such as senit Scott Thomas, who works at M. M. Cohn Department Store—already has jobs. These students already know something about the business work Looking for employment, senior David Witte burg cheeks the job listings at the Arkans Employment Security Division's downtown offic 302—Theme Only a junior. Linda Griswold is one of many Central High students equipped with job skills. She cflieicntly does her work at a calculator in her machine of- fice practice class. I think I’m getting a good education. Linda indicated. Renovating a Champion... Students now embark on ‘journey to success’ When they graduate from Central, students hare the necessary education to take that journey to success. ” If they have ambition, they will use this education and become successful citizens. If they lack ambition, their education will have been wasted. The vast majority of Central's graduates do make that journey to success. ’’ Graduates of Central are successful corporation presidents, politicians, doctors, journalists, etc. These suc- cessful graduates are quick to praise the educa- tion they received at Central and call it a major contributing force in their success. Central indeed educates it students! With a smile that indicates she looks forward to the day when she will have her own family, senior Chrissy Watts tries on a wedding ring at a jewelry store. Marriage is something most students look forward to. Theme—303 Communicating with friends attending a party is junior Robert Cortinez. Students realize that communicating is important in today's modern society. Renovating a Champion... Students now realize they must ‘contribute’ By the time a student has graduated from Central, the student realizes that he should become a part of his community. He is taught that a community is only as good as are the citizens in it. Becoming a part of a community means par- ticipating in its government, assisting fellow citizens who need help, and working with others in the community to solve common problems. Students at Central are taught what the great American educator Horace Mann once said, Be ashamed to die until you accomplish a victory for humanity. Gaining some experience in addressing a gathering is senior Keith Gibson, who verses as emcee at the school’s traditional Black History Week assembly in February. Many students this year got the chance to speak before assemblies. During the spring, junior Greg Young places a poster in the hall advertising his candidacy for 1981-82 senior class senator.

Major dramatic productions, both at school and in the community, allow students to develop acting talents and to entertain others. Here, junior Nathan Gay. junior Joe BulTalo. and senior Mark Snelson rehearse for the roles they played in Central's Once Upon a Mattress. To gain experience in working with young children, child development student Penny Sellers, a senior, assists in the school's kindergarten.

Theme—305 On February 3, the l«o Arkansans who were among the 52 Americans held hostage by Iran tor 444 days were honored with a parade in downtow n Little Rock and a reception at the State Capitol. (Above) Former hostage Mr. Robert Blukcr of North Little Rock talks with Governor Frank White. (Below) Marine Sgt. Steven W.

January 20. which was the day Ronald Reagan was inaugurated. To keep informed of events in her nation and world, senior Shannon Murphy reads an issue of Time Magazine. Students kept a keen watch over both national and international affairs, especially when they believed the affairs directly or indirectly involved them.

Graduates prepared for ‘chan£in World’ It is a rapidly changing world that will greet the graduates of ‘81—a world faced with many complex problems. Yet, Central's graduates enter this world unafraid. They know their potentials and their limitations. They are ready to become involved in society, to make contributions to society, and—in general—lead successful lives. Central’s graduates subscribe to the philosophy of the great American educator Horace Mann who said, “Be ashamed to die until you accomplish a victory for humanity. ’’ They are ready to wage the battles of life. Ready to � er e his country is junior John Wiley (above) who talks with Sgt. Charles Smith, a recruiter for the Marines. (Right! Junior Lessie McFce holds her young son.
