And, they did! National standardized tests revealed that Central High's students scored significantly higher than did most other high school students. The tests are a measure of what a student is or is not learning in the classrooms. Almost 100 courses were offered at Cen- tral this school year. No high school in Arkansas offered more courses than did Central High. Theme—3 Doing volunteer work at Arkansas Childrens Hospital (above) is senior Kim Blanks.

Athletic program ‘unifies’ students Tiger athletics were impor- tant in the 1984-85 school year. They were important not only because they provided opportunities for athletes to perfect their skills but because they “unified the student body. All students united behind Tiger teams when they were in competition against other teams. School spirit center- ed around ath- letics. Surpassing, Expectations... Central High ‘85: It educates youths who will achieve! Little Rock Central High is a school known throughout the nation for its excellence. It sets the pace for secondary educa- tion in the South. Those students who graduate from Central each year leave with pride. They know they have been offered the best education in Arkan- sas. They know they come from a school noted for its lengthy list of successful graduates—graduates who have risen to the top in prac- tically every profession (medicine, government, jour- nalism, law and judicial, enter- tainment, professional ath- letics, etc.). Central High, however, has never been content to rest on its laurels. Each year, Central High attempts to surpass the previous year in providing educational opportunities for its students. In the 1984-85 school year, Central High again surpassed expectations!

Student Life Happy days!” That is the way many students described the 1984-85 school year—a year filled with many fun activities both at school and away from school. Some of these activities, however, were more memorable than others. Major activities includ- ed Homecoming Week in the fall, Christmas vacation, spring break, the traditional senior class banquet and prom, and—of course—grad- uation. Of course, weekends were the most popular times of the school year. Weekends meant time for parties and for messing ‘round” with friends. Being a Tiger has always been an honor. But. being a Tiger in the 1984-85 school year was especially fun. Fun and fellowship arc enjoyed by this group of Cen- tral High students (left) at a Young Life meeting. A Christian organization. Young Life met each Tues- day evening. (Above) Junior Anthony Bledsoe enjoys a moment by himself before starting the school day.

SurvFurv Summed provides lots of times fof students to lives 'an easy life' Easy living. That's what most students sought during the summer of 1984. That easy living was easy to find, provided the student had the time and the money. Those who enjoyed the outdoor life could find many lakes, streams, and mountains in the area surrounding Little Rock. And. if the student didn't want to venture out of the city, there were the neighborhood swimming pools and parks. Several students got the chance to attend the Olympics in Los Angeles. Those who didn't have the opportunity to see the Olympics in person got the opportunity to view them on television. And. of course, the World’s Fair in New Orleans drew many other Central High students. Those who didn’t leave the city during the summer certainly had no reason to be bored. There were many activities that had appeal, ranging from concerts to political rallies and from downtown civic events (such as Interna- tional Fest) to the arrival of new Zoo animals. Summer was also the time for many students to take jobs. Many Central students, such as junior Chris Logan, didn't completely enjoy summer since they had to work outside in the hot temperatures. Summer—13 Opening week was a smooth one, Principal Everett Hawks indicated. There were no problems of consequence. A few students had schedule problems and a few classes were short on books. They were problems that were easily rectified.’’ For the first time in history, all schools in Arkansas opened on the day after Labor Day. which was September 4. The state's new educational standards act requires schools to open on the day after Labor Day. Enrollment at Central was 1.884 at the end of the first week of classes. That was an enrollment drop of 202 over the previous school year. Of those 1.884 students, 784 were sophomores, 558 were juniors, and 542 were seniors. Racially. 59 per cent of the students were black. Enrollment in the Little Rock School District also declined. There were 18,602 students enrolled in the District’s schools at the end of the first week of classes. At the same time during the 1983-84 year, there had been 19.052 students. Enrollment statistics showed 70 per cent of the students were black as compared to 69 per cent during the previous term. Hall High’s enrollment was 859. down from 1.046 from the previous year. Parkview’s enroll- ment was 1.092. which was one student less than the school’s enrollment of 1,093 during the previous year. Because of budget cuts, approximately 25 courses were dropped from Central's curriculum this school year. Most of these courses were one- semester courses, such as psychology, mass media, photography, etc. It was the 57th year for Central to be in opera- tion at its present location. Yellow school buses became familiar sights again when classes began on September 4. Here, students board buses after a day at Central High.

Most seniors had pictures made during the previous spring: however, those who missed the pictures had the chance to have them made on a make-up day in September. Before the start of the school year, it has become traditional for upperclassmen to go to the homes of sophomores and kidnap them for the purpose of initiating them as Tigers. (Left) Sophomores Julie Orloski and Terri Meyer find that the initiation can be messy. (Above) Smiles fill the faces of these sophomores following their initiation as Tigers.

These two groups were the Pep Club, which had been used as a training ground for girls interested in joining other spirit groups, and the Tigerettes, one of the state’s first high school dance teams. Despite the loss of these two organizations, student spirit didn’t suffer. I think we were just as spirited this school year as last school year or the year before,’’ student body president Elgin Clemons, a senior, said. A good indication that the 1984-85 school year was a spirited one was the popularity of the various dress-up days. We had tremendous participation in dress-up days prior to major athletic events.” Clemons said. Though spirit is often judged by student attendance and yelling at athletic events, it extended into other areas. In fact, it was evident in all phases of school life this year, according to Clemons. With her face painted in black and gold, junior Melissa Hobby (above) works on a Homecoming float. (Left) Varsity cheerleader Larken Pahlow leads a yell.

Thompsor at special auditorium dedication ceremony' Central High named its auditorium in memory of the late Roosevelt L. Thompson during a ceremony at the school on Tues- day. November 13. The ceremony also marked the opening of a campaign to raise SI00.000 for a scholarship fund named in Thompson’s honor. Thompson, one of the school’s most outstanding graduates, was killed in an automobile accident in March of 1984 as he was return- ing to Yale University in New Haven. Connecticut, to finish his senior year. He was 22. Principal speakers at the dedication ceremony were Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the state's First Lady, and U.S. Senator Dale L. Bumpers. He (Thompson) was a person admired by governors and senators and was sought out by them while still an undergraduate student (at Yale),” Senator Bumpers said. Mrs. Clinton said that Thompson’s life had been one of ex- cellence. She said the naming of Central’s auditorium in his honor would be a constant reminder to students to strive for excellence. Thompson graduated from Central in 1980. His list of accomplishments at Central is lengthy and impressive. During his senior year, he was president of the student body, an editor of the student newspaper, an All-State football player, a member of numerous clubs, and the winner of many state and na- tional awards. At Yale, his accomplishments were just as impressive—so im- pressive that he was named as Yale’s “most outstanding graduate of 1984. an honor that his father received in his memor)’ at Yale’s graduation during the summer. Shortly before his death. Thompson had been named a Rhodes Scholar, one of 32 selected for the honor. A committee consisting of many prominent Arkansans worked during the school year to raise the S100.000 to finance the scholar- ship fund in Thompson’s memory. The first donation was S5.000 and came from the Harry S. Truman Foundation. It was presented at the auditorium's dedication.

Central's team, however, went on to win the Bowl, which was in November and involved the city's three public high schools. Mind Boggling Team from Central captures first places in School TDistrict's first TCnowledge Bowl' Arkansas' First Lady Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks at the dedication of the school's Roosevelt L. Thompson Memorial Auditorium. Mrs. Clinton said Thomp- son's life had been an inspiration to all who knew him or knew about him. What is the average life span of a turtle? What is the distance formula?” These were but two of the questions posed to teams from the city's three public high schools in the Little Rock School District's first Knowledge Bowl. The competition was at University Mall during American Education Week in November. It was watched by more than 200 people. Knowledge Bowl” was sort of a Trivial Pursuit” game in which the teams were asked questions from many fields of academic study. Mr. Craig O'Neal, a local disc jockey, was emcee for the competition. Central High’s team won the competition, scoring 140 points. Parkview had 130 points and Hall had 115 points. Members of Central’s team were junior Conevery Bolton and seniors Amy Brown. Kevin Hinton, and Andre Robinson. The team was coached by Mrs. Marie McNcal. instructor of social studies.

(Above) Dating was the most popular pastime for many, including senior Marcus McDonald who helps senior Tracyc Peters with her coat. There was certainly no shortage of fun ac- tivities in Little Rock during the 1984-85 school year. And, finding those fun activities was easy. If you’re planning a party, all you have to do is tell one other person, senior Kevin Churchill said. By the end of the day, every student in school will know about it.” Little Rock, often called Tiger Town by Central’s students, offered a wide variety of entertainment each day. This entertainment ranged from Razor- back football and basketball games to con- certs and from lots of movie theaters to several skating and ice rinks. But, for most Central High students, the best form of entertainment was partying.” There was a party just about each weekend, senior Mike Rains said. “I just wish there could have been one every night. Rains said that the entertainment form that seemed to be lacking was concerts. Little Rock never seems to have good con- certs. he said. If you want to go to a good concert, you have to go to Memphis or Dallas. Movies were popular with practically all students, including senior Keith Richardson (above), who purchases a ticket at the Heights Theatre. (Below) Starman. starring Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen, was a movie that practically all Central students attended this year. A popular game with students was Triva Pursuit, which is played by sophomores Greg Brown. Rob Lewis, and Mark Woodall. Entertainment—21 Central High student� caused many cash registers (above) to jingle during the school year. (Below) Senior Steven Rodgers brushes a cat as part of his work for a local veterinarian. He was one of numerous students who worked. Money! That was something that practically every Central High student never had enough of during the 1984-85 school year. It seemed that each time a student turned around, somebody had a hand stuck out for money. “You pay membership dues for clubs, you’re expected to give money for such things as scholarship funds and the poor people, you have to pay for lunch, you have to pay for this and that, senior Glen Polite said. Polite then added that expenses at school were nothing compared to expenses away from school. “There's gas for the car. a date or two each week, trips to McDonald’s or a pizza place, and other things. he said. They add up fast. Polite was one of a large number of students who found jobs during the school year. It was estimated by school officials that about half of Central's students had jobs at one time or another during the year. As would be expected, there were lots more students seeking jobs than there were jobs to be found. (ash. Many students find work so they'll have some $$$'$ Spending some money at a local record store (left) is junior Carl Allen. Most albums were priced at around S7.99 during most of the school year.

Despite the short time for lunch, many students left campus to visit one of the fast food restaurants, such as McDonald's. Wendy's. Black Angus. Church's Chicken, etc. They left campus even though school policy indicated that they were not supposed to leave. The vast majority of students, however, remained on campus at lunch. Most of those who remained ate in either the cafeteria, which served full meals, or Campus Inn. which sold snack foods. Others brought sack lunches from home or walked across the street to a small candy store that also sold several types of sandwiches. One thing practically all students did at lunch was talk, talk, talk. Lunch is a great time to be with friends and make plans for the even- ing or just catch up on some of the gossip. senior Cynthia Robinson said. She said that everybody com- plains about the short lunch period, but it seems that nobody ever goes hungry.” A favorite food for many Central High students at noon was the quarter pounder hamburger from McDonald’s. Most students wanted cheese on it. Out to Lunch—25 Fall Furv Thanksgiving, Homecoming, State Fair combine to provide much excitement in fall Fall 84 was an exciting and colorful one for students at Cen- tral. There were numerous fun events, both at school and in the community, beckoning for attention; there were two vacation periods from classes, one for a teachers' convention and the other for Thanksgiving; and the numerous woodlands in the area were more colorful than in many previous years. Thanksgiving. Homecoming, and the State Fair were the ma- jor events of fall. But. some of the other events offered just as much fun. These other events” ranged from Tiger football games to Razorback football games, from concerts at Barton Coliseum to the opening of the state’s hunting seasons, and from weekly Young Life meetings to the last picnic of the year. Saying goodbye to the heat of summer and hello to mild days and cool nights of fall was indeed enjoyable. Fall '84 will be one to remember for many years to come. To draw attention to Homecoming Week in October, several first period classei decorated their doors, including this one labos cl done by Mrs. Marie McNcal's students (Left) Tiger football games drew many students to them on Friday nights in the fall Watching the action of a Tiger football game in Quigley Stadium (above) on a Friday night are seniors Tracye Peters and Marcus McDonald.

Tamra Keith reigns as Queen Senior Tamra Keith (at left, escorted by senior Adam Frith) was crowned as the school's 1984 Homecoming Queen. However, her coronation did not come during Homecoming Week, which was the week of October 15. Traditionally, the Homecoming Queen is crowned and her court is announced in pre-game activities of the Homecoming football game. Heavy rain and a tornado watch in the Greater Little Rock area during the Homecoming football game between Cen- tral and the Sylvan Hills Bears on Thurs- day evening. October 18. forced cancella- tion of the coronation. It was not until the football game be- tween Central and the North Little Rock Ole Main Wildcats on November 2 that students learned the Queen's name. Other members of the Homecoming Court were Jean Baltimore. Valerie Dodd. Larken Pahlow, Tracye Peters, and Erma Washington, seniors; Sheri Caveness, Kim Guy. and Stephanie Haught. juniors; and Cathy Brooks and Sonya Jones, sopho- mores. Other major activities of Homecoming Week included a parade, a pep rally, and dress-up days each day of the week. Key Club and the Vocational Industrial Club of America—Health Occupations Chapter tied for First place in the float competition of the parade. Fall-27 With a smile, junior Sonya Carloss (above) docs some shopping at Scars. Looking good is important to me. she said.

Tutting orvtheTjtz, Clothing, the right kind of auto, going somewhere 'special' can make a student feel that he or she owns the entire world Putting on the Ritz. That's the phrase students used to describe one of their classmates who got really dressed-up. who took a date to one of the city’s expensive restaurants, or who somehow managed to get an expen- sive automobile for a drive around town. I guess everybody likes to put on the Ritz’ ever)- so often.” junior Peggy Epes said. I know that sometimes I feel like really getting dressed-up for school. There were times when it appeared that students tried to out-Ritz each other. This was especially true for the senior class prom when practically all students tried to look their best, many made reservations at the city's elite restaurants, and a few even rented chauffcred limousines. When you're really dressed-up and you go somewhere that's really special, you assume a different personality,” Peggy said. It’s as if you’re a different person. But. Peggy was quick to add that if you put on the 'Ritz' too much, people think you’re a little odd and try to avoid you.” On practically any day of the school year, an observer could have noted that there were young men dressed in suits and young women dressed in their Sunday finery. They weren’t going anywhere in particular, just putting on the Ritz.” Gary Cooper would have been proud of us, Peggy said, making reference to the song, Putting on the Ritz by Taco. Looking real sharp in spons suits that they wore to classes on a day in late fall are junior Shawn Pollock and senior Clay Sanders. You get lots of compliments from classmates, but you also get asked why you’re wearing a tic to school. Pollock said. A mink coat provides a Ritzy look for sophomore Bitsi Burney. It keeps me warm on cold days too, Bitsi indicated. Getting all set for a Saturday night date (above! is sophomore Onico Crincr who removes the rollers from her hair. (Below) Senior Cynthia Robinson asks senior Ricky Mays why he’s dressed-up for classes. Putting on the Ritz—29 Santa's Day What's the best holiday of the year? Most students contend it's Christmas! Christmas '84 was a good one! In fact, it was one of the best ever for most students. Because the state’s economy had improved over previous years. Santa Claus was financially able to place more presents than ever under the tree. Christmas vacation, however, was shorter than in previous years when two weeks away from classes were granted students. This year’s vacation was only one and one-half weeks in length. Prior to the start of Christmas vacation, there were many parties and fun events. Too. the city’s needy were remembered by students who gave food baskets to many of them. Fifty-nine first period classes also provided toys for local children living in foster homes. A prized possession for senior Allison Dyke (above) is her Christmas doll house, a replica of Santa’s workshop. I display it each year at Christmas. she said. (Right) Senior Dexter Mitchem checks out the lightweight jackets at a local store while doing his Christmas shopping. 30—Christmas A gingerbread house was the focus of attention at the Ex- celsior Hotel (above) at Christmas. (Below) Students in Miss Caroline Holmes' first period class celebrate with a party. Prior to Christmas, junior Cathy Shulls (left) admires the manger scene at her church. Grace Lutheran Church. I think all too often we forget the religious significance of Christmas. she said. (Below) Senior Glen Polite admires a stereo system, hoping Santa Gaus will place it under his tree. Central's Jewish students observed Hanukkah. one of their major religious holidays, at the time others were observing Christmas. Here, senior Julie Nickol lights the candles of the family's mcnorah. Hanuk- kah began on December 18 and went to December 26. Elaborate Christmas decorations could be found on many homes in Little Rock, including this one (above) on Cantrell Road. (Below) Junior Conevery Bolton watches as her sister. Rebecca, tells the University Mall's Santa Claus what she wants. Lots of studying was evident in January, the month of mid-year exams. Seniors Stacey Williams and Donna Osborne (below) study in the Jess W. Matthews Media Center. (Right) Basketball also gained attention. Tiger Anthony Bledsoe, a junior, jumps for the ball in a non-conference game with the Wilbur Mills Comets. Students were greeted with a sprinkling of snow and icy roads when they returned to classes on Wednesday. January 2. from Christmas vacation. Here, senior Ronnie Stover discovers enough snow on the rear window of a car to write a message. Enough snow fell on Friday. January 4. to cause school officials to cancel all classes for the day, something students enjoyed. A Historical Event! All public schools in Little Rock, including Central, closed Mon- day, January 21, in observance of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King (above), the famed civil rights leader who was slain in Mem- phis. Tennessee, in March of 1968. It was the first time ever for public school students to be dismissed for Dr. King's birthday, which will become a federal holiday in 1986. 32—Mid-Year Many Central students were involved in Boys Club league basketball during January, including junior Chad Murry who shoots a frocthrow. He played lor the Vanilla Wavers. The opposing team was the Cold Baseballs. It's fun to play. Murry said. H e Blahs Mid-year brings those dreaded exams; too, cold weather limits many activities January is the most dreadful month of the year. “After the excitement of New Year’s Eve is over, there’s nothing but tests and bad weather, more tests and more bad weather. senior Holly Booth said. Those tests that Holly referred to were the first semester exams, which were each two hours in length and which were administered Tuesday through Thursday. January 15-17. About the only good thing during exam week is the open campus policy. Holly said. Under the open campus policy, students reported to Central only when they had tests. They could leave campus between testing periods for lunch, something not allowed during the remainder of the school year. The weather was indeed bad in January. Snow greeted students on their first day back in classes following Christmas vacation. Two days later, on Friday. January 4. classes had to be cancelled because of snow. In late January, a cold wave moved into the Little Rock area, sending temperatures to below zero. Record lows were recorded on three consecutive days.

The exams were given over a three day period in mid-January. Mid-Year—33 Headaches If it can go wrong, it will go wrong for some, or at least that's what these people believed “If it can go wrong, it will go wrong. That is what Murphy's Law decrees. And. many Central High students said it certainly applied to them. At least it applies to me at cer- tain times. sophomore Mark Woodall said. If the day starts off bad with lots of hassles, it’ll always end bad with even more hassles. And what were some of these hassles for students? Finding your car in the student parking lot with a flat tire, get- ting a D on a paper that you worked on for weeks, getting sent to early morning study hall for talking when everybody else was talking even louder, spilling ketchup on your clothes at lunch, giving a dumb answer in class and causing all your classmates to laugh, slipping on the stairs, etc. They say you laugh tomor- row at today's headaches, Woodall said. I’ll sure be laughing a lot. A big headache for students driving cars to school and parking on the student parking lot was flat tires.

This falling snow provided some excitement for students, but it wasn’t enough to cause classes to be dismissed. Though it was a violation of school policy, a snowball fight erupts on the student parking lot. All total, students missed five and one-half days of classes this school year as a result of snow and ice. Since there were no extra days on the 1984-85 school calendar, the days had to be made up by students and teachers, something not popular.

Approximately sixty students, including seniors Maurice Phillips and Jon Bruno (above), had roles in the school’s major dramatic production for 1984-85. M.A.S.H. Directed by Mrs. Kathy Holladay, instructor of drama, M.A.S.H. was presented in three performances during mid- March. The play received praise from both students and other com- munity residents who viewed it. A comedy. M.A.S.H. was written for the stage by Tim Kelly. It was also a successful book, television series, and movie.

These activities included Valentine’s Day. TWIRP (The Woman Is Requested To Pay) Week. Black History Week, the school’s major dramatic pro- duction of the year. etc. As February started, heavy snow fell in the Little Rock area, causing students to miss four and one-half days of classes. Students had also missed one day in early January. All the days had to be made up by students and teachers. But. by the end of March, the weather was warm and students had “spring fever. February and March were great! Seven fire trucks were sent to Central High on Monday. January 28. to extinguish a fire in a first floor storage closet. The arrival of the firemen (•hove) and their trucks Ibclow) created lots of excitement for students who had evacuated the building. Cause of the fire, which filled first floor with thick smoke, was not known, but a Little Rock lire inspector said it was a recess fire. which he described as a fire probably set by a student so that classes would be dismissed.

Spring Activity of students suddenly increases when Mother Nature warms her Earth It's the favorite season of the year for most teenagers. It's the season when the mind and body suddenly come alive. Ah, spring! The snow and ice of winter disappear, the grass and trees almost overnight turn green, and life takes on a different meaning. School often seems boring. There’s the urge to leave the classroom and get outside in the warming rays of the sun. There’s much to do outside, such as enjoying the horse races at Oaklawn Park, visiting the amusements parks in the area that have just opened, or boating on one of the nearby lakes or streams. For those who give into the urge of leaving the classrooms too often to enjoy spring, there’s the danger of missing too many days of school and being dropped. That can mean sum- mer school, which isn’t too appealing for most students. Spring—41 Consolidation: A very hot issue forTulaski (ounty! The most controversial issue in Pulaski County during the 1984-85 school year was the federal court-ordered consolidation of the three school districts within the county. It was an issue that was raised on the floor of the U.S. Congress, an issue that gained the attention of the state's politicians, and an issue that also greatly concerned Central's students and faculty. The Little Rock School District, which is predominantly black, filed suit in district federal court in 1983 contending that policies and practices of the North Little Rock School District and the Pulaski County School District, which are predominantly white, had contributed to the segregation of blacks in the Little Rock District. Federal Judge Henry Woods agreed with the Little Rock School District and on April 13. 1984, he ordered the three school districts to consolidate. However, the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis ordered Judge Woods to allow a group of black residents to in- tervene in the case. The appeals court ordered additional hearings. On November 20. Judge Woods again ordered consolidation. Judge Woods said at the time he would stay his latest ruling to consolidate until his decision could be reviewed by the appeals court. However, he ordered the superin- tendents of the three districts to begin im- mediately to prepare for consolidation. On February 19. as the PIX was nearing completion, no decision had been reached by the appeals court. However, it was generally agreed that the appeals court would uphold the decision of Judge Woods. The question in the minds of Central High students was when consolidation would become effective. For present sophomores and juniors, they wondered where they would attend classes next school year. Dr. Ed Kelly, superintendent of the Little Rock School District, expressed optimism that consolidation would become effective at the start of the 1985-86 school year. The superintendents of the other two districts said they did not think consolidation could become effective that quickly, even if Judge Woods' decision was reaffirmed by the ap- peals court. The superintendents of the North Little Rock District and the Pulaski County District noted that their school boards had indicated they would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court if they did not receive a favorable ruling from the appeals court. The order to consolidate angered almost all patrons of the North Little Rock District and the Pulaski County District. Protest meetings in these two districts were attended by hundreds of their patrons. After he ordered consolidation for the second time. Judge Woods appointed a nine- member interim school board for the new- consolidated school district. He appointed Mr. Winslow Drummond, a former member of the Little Rock School Board and present- ly a resident of the Pulaski County School District, to head the new board. Mr. Drum- mond is a prominent attorney. Mr. Richard Mays, the father of Central High junior Ricky Mays and also a promi- nent attorney, was also named to the board. Another person named to the board and familiar with Central High students was Mrs. Fay Southern, a present member of the Little Rock School Board. Judge Woods also ordered the three school districts to hold a minimum of three public hearings to hear “constructive criticism from patrons on how to imple- ment the consolidation order. He said these public hearings must be conducted prior to March 29. All three of the public hearings conducted by the Little Rock School District had poor attendance: however, that was not the case in the other two districts. Most of those attending the Little Rock District’s public hearings spoke in support of consolidation. Practically all attending the public hearings of the other two districts spoke in opposition. U.S. Congressman Tommy Robinson, who represents Pulaski County, assumed of- fice in January and the first bill he introduc- ed was one that would forbid federal judges from forcing consolidation of school districts and would, if passed, nullify the court order to consolidate the three districts in Pulaski County. However, most veteran political observers believed the bill's chance of passage was very poor to very, very poor. Congressman Robinson also verbally at- tacked Dr. Kelly several times, something that did not set well with many patrons in the Little Rock School District. The Con- gressman said Dr. Kelly was not telling the complete truth about consolidation. However, almost all of the state's politi- cians spoke out against consolidation, in- cluding former Governor Frank White who took a delegation of Pulaski County residents to Washington. D.C.. where they asked the U.S. Justice Department to in- tervene in the case and attempt to block the consolidation. In a brochure published by the Little Rock School District and distributed in December, it was indicated that students in Pulaski County would be assigned to schools in sub-areas not yet decided. The brochure indicated that no student would ride more than 14 miles on a bus to his or her school. The racial composition of each school will become approximately 60 per cent white and 40 per cent black so that no school will be racially identifiable. At present, some schools in the Little Rock School District are 100 per cent black. The brochure stipulated that teachers, too. will be assigned new schools to ob- tain faculties in all schools that reflect the student (black-white) ratios and that reassignments will be coordinated with Paving close attention to an explanation of the federal court-ordered consolidation of the three school districts in Pulaski County is this group of Little Rock School District patrons. They were attending one of three public forums on consolidation conducted by Dr. Ed Kelly, superintendent. Most said they supported consolidation. 42—Consolidation employees’ representatives (Classroom Teachers Association). In an effort to acquaint city high school students with consolidation. Dr. Kelly held a briefing for representatives of the student press and student government in mid- February. At the briefing. Dr. Kelly said he would make ever)- effort to sec that seniors-to-be (the present juniors) are given the choice of attending their present school or the one they are assigned to in the new consolidated district. (The question heard most at the public hearings on consolidation in all three districts was whether juniors would be given the opportunity to remain at their present high schools.) Dr. Kelly noted, however, that the final decision on the placement of seniors-to-be rested with Federal Judge Woods and the new school board for the consolidated district. The superintendent added that present sophomores would not be given a choice as to which school they will attend next school year. The superintendent told the students at the briefing that assignments for next school year would probably be available to all students in Pulaski County by mid-April. A concern voiced by students at the brief- ing was whether any courses would be deleted from the curriculum when con- solidation becomes effective. Dr. Kelly noted that Little Rock high Lillie Rock attorney Richard Mays explains the opera- tions of a computer to his son. Central junior Rickv Mays. Mr. Mays was one of nine residents of Pulaski County appointed by Federal Judge Henry Woods to the school board of the new consolidated school district. Mr. Mays said he looked forward to the board work. school students have a much more exten- sive curriculum than do high school students in the other two districts, but that the curriculum of the new consolidated district would be at the highest level.” He said, for example. German is offered at Central but not in some of the other high schools. “German would be offered at all Teachers must pass competency test Most Arkansas teachers viewed 1984-85 as a school year when they were being punished by Governor Bill Clinton and the Arkansas Legislature. Because of legislation passed at the in- sistence of Governor Clinton. Arkansas teachers were scheduled on March 23rd to take and pass a competency test if they planned to return to teaching for the 1985-86 school year. Too. legislation required teachers to pass a subject area test or to take six addi- tional college hours of credit. The Arkansas Education Association bitterly opposed the legislation, indicating that taking a competency test was in- sulting and demeaning and that teachers were being used to advance the political causes of Governor Clinton. Polls indicated that an overwhelming majority of state residents sided with the Governor on the teacher testing issue. Teachers unsuccessfully attempted to get the Arkansas Legislature to repeal the law. Approximately 3.000 of the state’s teachers left their classrooms for one day in February to go to the State Capitol and lob- by for repeal. Too, the AEA filed suit to have the law overturned. Results of the suit, which was scheduled to be heard on March 1, were not known as the P1X went to press. However, it was generally believed that the law would withstand a challenge. Many of Central's teachers said they did not mind taking the competency test “if it helps to restore confidence in the public schools. Some teachers in the state, though, said they would not take the test, even if they did lose their jobs. Most teachers, however, said they would grudgingly take it. Arkansas became the first state to pass legislation requiring that its teachers take a competency exam. schools. Dr. Kelly noted. He said there would probably be no changes in the names of schools, such as changing Little Rock Central High to Pulaski County Central High. He noted that other consolidated districts had sometimes hyphenated the names, such as Little Rock-Pulaski Coun- ty School District. The new consolidated district would cover 822.82 square miles and would have more than 59.000 students. It is believed that the consolidated district would be among the nation's 50 largest. It is believed that it will cost as much as $8 million more each year to operate the new district than presently available in the three districts. Judge Woods indicated that it was possi- ble he would order the State of Arkansas to pay the costs since it had “also con- tributed to the segregation problems in the Little Rock School District. Dr. Kelly said the new consolidated district would be educationally challenging for both students and teachers. “The new district can offer one of the best and most exciting educational programs in the na- tion. he said. A federal mediator had attempted to settle the dispute between the Little Rock District and the other two districts prior to the court decision; however, the other two districts refused to provide any help to the Little Rock District in solving its segrega- tion problems. Rending a pamphlet about the competency test teachers were expected to pass under new state legislation is Mrs. Pat Nipper, instructor of Latin. Unlike the majority of the state’s teachers. Mrs. Nipper said she did not mind taking the test and hoped that it would restore confidence in schools. Consolidation Testing—43 front of a quilt arc senior Mike Dawson and his grandmother.

All Over Happiness, sadness can be found as 1984-85 school year reaches end There were happy faces and sad faces as Central High closed its 1984-85 school year—a year that Prin- cipal Everett Hawks termed “very successful for our students. The happiness was in knowing that three months of vacation awaited most students. The sadness was most prevalent among sophomores who were afraid they would be sent next school year to another high school as a result of federal court-ordered consolida- tion. The big moments for seniors at the end of the school year came at their banquet on April 25 at the River- front Hilton Inn. at their prom on May 25 at the Camelot Inn. at their baccalaureate on May 26 in Cen- tral’s auditorium, and at their commencement on May 28 at Barton Coliseum. The last day of classes for sophomores and juniors was to have been Tuesday. June 4; however, because students missed five and one-half days as a result of in- clement weather, the school year had to be extended to make-up these days. But. for about 300 of Central’s students, the end of the 1984-85 school year meant only a few days away from classes before they started summer school. Adjusting the cap for her commencement robe is senior Natalie Williams. I've waited for this a very long time. Natalie said. 44—End-of-Year I A t-shlrt logo told the story (left) of what seniors had in mind as their high school years at Central came to an end.

There was a two-hour exam in each class at the conclusion of the year. Before leasing Central, senior Robert Steele cleans out his locker while wishing the best of luck to sophomore Scott Padgett. Sophomores, however, under a federal court-ordered consolidation deci- sion were not sure if they would be returning to Central or would be sent to another school.

Classes Because of budget cuts made necessary by a loss of state funding, the Little Rock School District had to cut the number of courses offered at Central High during the 1984-85 school year. Twenty-three courses were deleted from the school's curriculum. In spite of these cuts, students at Central High were fortunate. Central still offered the state's most extensive curriculum. Nearly 100 courses were offered. In addition, there were 26 different vocational and technical courses at Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center that Central students could take. Inside each classroom was a dedicated, well- trained teacher. Modern audio-visual aids were also available to aid instruction. Classes—57 SUPERINTENDENT 6 BOARD DR. EDWARD KELLY Superintendent of Schools DR. RUTH STEELE Associate Superintendent Despite consolidation controversy, District doesn't neglect education It was the federal court-ordered con- solidation of the three school districts in Pulaski County that captured the attention of the public this school year. Seldom a day passed without the state’s two major newspapers devoting lengthy ar- ticles about the consolidation. Even though consolidation issues did re- quire hundreds and hundreds of hours of work by Superintendent Ed Kelly and his staff, education in the classrooms of the Lit- tle Rock School District was not ignored. ‘‘The controversy over consolidation may have actually improved education in the classrooms.” one Board member said. 1 think Dr. Kelly worked exceedingly hard at his job. devoting as much as 70 hours week- ly. to seeing that each student in the Little Rock School District received a quality education.” The Board member noted that the quality of education in the Little Rock School District had been attacked by some of the patrons of the other two school districts. If you come under attack, you work harder. he said. (For an in-depth look at consolidation, see pages 42-43.) Dr. Kelly was assisted in performing his duties as superintendent by two associate superintendents—Dr. Jesse Lee Rancifer and Dr. Ruth Steele. Also working with him was a manager of support services—Mr. Vance Jones. Establishing policies for Dr. Kelly and his staff to follow in operating the city's public schools was the seven member school board. Mr. David Cockcroft was president of the Board. Mr. Herb Yarbrough was vice presi- dent. and Mr. B. G. Williams was secretary. Other members were Mr. Willie D. Hamilton. Mr. B. Frank Mackey. Mrs. Ruth D. Shepherd, and Mrs. Fay Southern. The terms of all three of the officers ex- pired Tuesday. March 12. the date of the an- nual school election. All three filed for re- election: however, results of the election were not known as the PIX was going to press. Mr. Williams and Mr. Yarbrough did not have opposition in the election. Mr. Cockcroft was opposed by Mr. Frederick Lee. Also appearing on the March 12 election ballot was a request for a five mill tax in- crease. Board members and Dr. Kelly said that if consolidation of the three school districts in Pulaski County did not become effective at the start of the 1985-86 school year, the Little Rock School District would need the additional money to bring schools in compliance with the new state education standards, to improve educational pro- grams. and to make needed building repairs. Because of financial problems, the Little Rock School District had been forced at the start of the 1984-85 school year to abolish some programs, including several one-half unit courses at Central High, something that Dr. Kelly had said was very painful. It was the third year for Dr. Kelly to fill the position of superintendent. Prior to coming to Little Rock. Dr. Kel- ly had served eight years as a superinten- dent in Illinois. He is a native of Missouri. Answering the question of a patron at a public hear- ing concerning the federal court-order consolidation is Dr. Ed Kelly, superintendent of city schools. MR.

Mr. Everett Hawks guided Central High through another very successful year.” Scores made by students on national stand- ardized exams showed improvement in prac- tically all areas, there were no major discipline problems, and—in general—all facets of school life operated smoothly. Working under Mr. Hawks’ supervision were four assistant principals—Mrs. Othello Faison. Mr. Joe Hale. Mr. Rudolph Howard, and Mrs. Marian Lacey. It was the second year for Mr. Hale and Mr. Howard to be assistant principals at Central. Mrs. Faison came to Central as an assistant principal in January of 1974. Mrs. Lacey came to Central as an assistant principal at the start of the 1981-82 school year. Prior to becoming principal. Mr. Hawks had been an assistant principal. He became an assistant principal at the start of the 1975-76 school year. Mr. Hawks started his career as a educator with the Little Rock School District in 1968 as a teacher at the old West Side Junior High. He taught there for four years before becoming a teacher at the old Opportunity School, a federally-funded school for pupils with disciplinary and other problems. He has a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. While on patrol of the campus during a lunch period.

ENGLISH School eliminates 'enriched' classes as result of administrative directive All “enriched” classes in the English Department were eliminated this school year as a result of a directive from School District administrators. Mrs. Margaret Matson. Department coordinator, said that even though elimina- tion of the enrichment courses was not popular with English teachers, the teachers accepted the challenge of providing for a wider range of abilities in the classes now labeled ‘regular’.” She said that teachers of regular English used many of the activities recommended in the Little Rock School District’s English Curriculum Guide for enrichment classes. Emphasis in the Department was again placed on reading and writing skills.” Mrs. Matson said. “In teaching writing, our teachers also emphasized grammar, mechanics, organization, and content. The Department also offered a course in creative writing, which was taught by Mrs. Renee Graw. who joined Central’s faculty this school year. The creative writing students visited many of the English classrooms during the first semester to discuss writing poetry and to en- courage students to submit work for possible inclusion in Labyrinth. the literary magazine published in May by the creative writing class. State law requires students to take a course in English each year they are enrolled in school. Grading research paper done by her English students is Mrs. Matilda Janies. English teachers had lots of papers to grade each week of the school year. Taking some note in the Jess W. Matthews Media Center (above) for his research paper in English is senior Donald Wilson.

Nationally, 850 winners were nam- ed. To become a winner, a student had to be nominated by his school’s English teachers and had to submit a timed impromptu essay as well as samples of his “best writings.” Special recognition was given to O’Dell at the school’s Honors Con- vocation in early May. Too, his name was included in a booklet of national winners mailed to all major university admissions of- ficers. The booklet recommended that winners be given special consideration if they made application. English—63 JOURNALISM Students get experience in work on publications Journalism students gained practical experience through their work on three publications—the weekly Tiger newspaper, the P1X yearbook, and the student telephone directory. All work, except the actual printing, was done by the jour- nalism students, who were taught by Mr. Charles Lance. Practical experience is the best teacher, Mr. Lance said. In addition to publishing the three publications, the Jour- nalism Department’s students also had numerous other responsibilities. A new responsibility this school year was do- ing the back page of each monthly issue of Focus, the Little Rock School District newspaper mailed to parents. The back page carried news only about Central. Central’s student publications are consistent winners of state and national awards.

This is a statement heard often by students enrolled in classes offered by the Social Studies Department. We also try to develop an appreciation for history among our students, Mr. Jerome Muldrew, Department coordinator, said. Classroom sets of the state's two major newspapers—the Arkansas Gazette and the Arkansas Democrat—were available to the classes. Time. a national news magazine, was also available. Because of budget cuts in the Little Rock School District, the Department dropped three of its courses—psychology, sociology, and world geography. As had been the case during the previous year, students in the Department had the opportunity to attend a one-week Close-Up Forum in Washington. D.C., during the winter. The Close-Up Forum allowed par- ticipants to gain firsthand knowledge about the nation’s government. Using ■ map on their classroom wall.

Students in the Social Studies Department, including sophomore Jackie Robinson (at left), who votes in the school's fall election, learned about the state and national political systems this school year. Social studies students helped conduct the fall and spring student body elections. The same procedures used in state elections were used in the student body elections. Voting machines borrowed from the Pulaski County Election Com- mission were also used in the elections. Prior to the national elections in November, the students par- ticipated in a mock election.

Mrs. Raia was nominated for the award by the Arkansas Association of Teachers of German. Mrs. Raia is an active member of the organiza- tion. A native of Kassel. Germany. Mrs. Raia is considered to be the most successful high school German teacher in Arkansas. During the eight years she has been at Cen- tral. her students have won numerous state, na- tional. and international awards. Approximately 120 students were enrolled in the school's German classes this school year. There were four levels offered. Mrs. Raia was also sponsor for the school's ac- tive German Club. 68—Foreign Languages FOREIGN LANGUAGES Instructing class in Spanish (above) is Dr. Maria Salcedo, a native of Cuba.

If the awards they won in statewide languages festival were an indication, then the students learned a great deal. Central's foreign languages students won top awards in all of the statewide festivals they attended. The Department offered five levels of French, four levels of German, five levels of Spanish, and four levels of Latin. A student club functioned for each foreign language of- fered by the Department. “These clubs offered fun ac- tivities that actually helped students learn more about the languages they studied, Dr. Maria Salcedo, instructor of Spanish, said.

SCIENCE Steadman gets position as science coordinator Mrs. Annice Steadman was named coordinator for the Science Department this school year. She replaced Mrs. Brenda Matthews, who had resigned at mid-year last school year to accept a position with the Arkansas State Department of Education. The Department's most popular course was biology, a course required for graduation. Other courses offered includ- ed advanced biology, chemistry, and physics. The biology classes this year participated in Project Wild. an undertaking by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission to provide high school students with an understanding of wildlife, its needs, and its relationships and importance to man and the environment. Mrs. Betty Stout attended a special training session for teachers participating in the project. She then trained Cen- tral’s biology teachers. Special films and pamphlets on wildlife were provided by the Game and Fish Commission for use in the biology classrooms. As had been the case during previous years, teachers in the Department operated with the theory that students learn best when they can actually see what is being taught. As a result, students participated in numerous experiments in all of the Department's courses.

That delighted Mrs. Emily Faulkner, coordinator of the Math Department. Because of budget cuts in the Little Rock School District, the Math Department was forced this school year to drop several of its more popular courses, in- cluding general math, consumer math, and in- termediate algebra. As had been the case during the previous school year, a tutoring program was provided for students having difficulty in any of their math classes. The tutoring program was sponsored by Mu Alpha Theta, a national honorary organization for outstanding students of math.

For instance, students in Miss Nancy Wilson’s art classes during the fall mixed clay with their feet and made pottery the way Indians did hundreds of years ago. Enroute to making the potter)-, the students studied the artworks of American Indians. Miss Wilson received a grant from the State Department of Education to aid her in financing the Indian project. Four different courses were offered by the Art Department. These were basic art, graphic design, creative painting, and watercolors. Each art course is designed to help students build self- confidence, Mr. Robert McDonald, the school’s other art teacher, said. “We offer practical experience to them in teaching the various art forms.” In an class, sophomore Amet-al-clah Al-ghaffari and senior Angela Pearson (left) transform bottles into dolls. (Below) Kirby Atkins. Chad Savage. Stacey Looney, and Sandra McKay use their feet to mix 100 pounds of clay being used by the art classes to make Indian pottery. The teacher of the classes. Miss Nancy Wilson, received a state grant for the project, which was hailed as being educational and innovative.” Miss Wilson said students followed the same techniques in making the clay as Indians did. Completing a drawing in his art class (above) is sophomore Curry Shelton who won a S200 U.S. Savings Bond in a statewide logo competition sponsored by the Arkansas Child Support Enforcement Unit. Shelton's logo (right) was judged the best among approximately 125 received from high school and college art students across the state. Logo Prize! The art talents of sophomore Curry Shelton paid dividends for him this school year. When the newly-created Arkansas Child Support Enforcement Unit decided it needed a logo, a statewide competition open to high school and college art students was announced. Shelton entered the competition and won first place, which was a S200 U.S. Savings Bond. 76—Art ROTC Laying communication wire while devoting a weekend to working with the U.S. Army Reserves at Camp Robinson is ROTC cadet Larettc Martin (above), a senior.

Because of School District budget cuts, several of the Department's one semester courses were dropped this school year. However, the dropping of one semester courses in our Department as well as other Departments seemed only to increase enrollment in our other business courses. Mrs. Holt said. Mr. Clyde Horton, who is the head track coach and who previously had taught driver's education, joined the Business Education Department this school year. He taught four classes of clerical record keeping and one class of typewriting. Active in the Department was a student organization.

Students at Central during the 1984-85 school year especially enjoyed having money, judging by the popularity of the school's four work- study programs. The work-study programs allowed students to attend classes at Central for one-half day and then work at jobs the other one- half day. Their work was supervised by the school. Approximately 150 students were in the four work-study pro- grams. About twice that number attempted to get into the pro- grams; however, jobs were not available for them. The students said they worked for a variety of reasons, rang- ing from getting money to pay for a car to saving money for col- lege and from helping their families financially to “so I don't have to stay at school all day. The four work-study programs were distributive education, cooperative office education, coordinated careers education, and industrial cooperative training.

VOCATIONAL Budget cuts cause deletion of some vocational courses Because of budget cuts that had to be taken by the Little Rock School District, the Vocational Department was forced to delete some of its programs. The two programs cut from the Department that had been popular with a segment of the student population were the health occupations work-study program and the simulated office practice program. The health occupations program had allowed students to attend classes at Central for one-half day and then work in jobs related to health care the other one-half day. The simulated office practice program was a mock office that trained students in the procedures employed in operating a modern-day office. However, students at Central had a wide variety of vocational courses available to them, ranging from four work-study programs (see related article on page 80) to approximately 25 vocational courses at Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center (see related article on pages 86-87). Giving a hand to junior Robert Clinksdalc as he drives a nail is Mr. James Brown, in- structor of the school's carpentry exploration course. Most vocational and technical courses available to students were offered at Metropolitan Vo-Tech Education Center.

We train students today so they will have the skills necessary- tomorrow to care for their homes and families,” one of the teachers said. To aid their students in learning about parenting, the Department operated a kindergarten. Central is one of a few high schools in the nation that has a kindergarten that functions for the teaching of students in home economics classes. Courses offered by the Department were family living, child development, human development, housing management, foods, clothing, and Home Economics 1. A highlight of the year for the Department was hosting the traditional Principal’s Tea in December. The affair was attend- ed by faculty members, retired personnel.

Be- ing fit physically is important throughout life and we try to teach students physical fitness methods they can use for life. one of the teachers said. Aerobic exercises were taught this school year and they proved popular with the students. In addition, the students studied units on golf, archery, softball, flag football, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, square dancing, etc. ° Also under the supervision of the Physical Education Department were the male and female sports programs. All participants in these pro- grams. however, practiced at the conclusion of the school day. They were not allowed to practice during school hours. Explaining the ruin of basketball to students in a physical education class is Mr. Eddie Boone, who was also the head coach for the Tiger male basketball team. Basketball was a popular activity in phys cd. Physical Education—85 METROPOLITAN Metro adds four study programs Four new programs were added to Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Educa- tion Center this school year. The four programs were computer technology, computer programming, computer-aided drafting, and health oc- cupations. All four programs gained a great deal of student interest. Mr. Michael Regauld, principal during the first semester, said. Mr. Regauld. who became principal of Metro at the beginning of the 1983-84 school year, resigned at the end of the first semester. A replacement had not been an- nounced as the PIX was going to press. Secondary students in central Arkansas could take vocational and technical classes at Metro for one-half day and then attend a regular high school the other one-half day. Of the approximately 620 students at Metro this school year, 75 were from Cen- tral.

MEDIA CENTER GUIDANCE 'Vital' describes jobs of two departments “Vital to our educational program is the way Principal Everett Hawks described the work of the school’s librarians and counselors. The Jess W. Matthews Media Center had more than 18.000 books, more than 1,000 films and filmstrips, approximately 100 current magazines and newspapers, and hundreds or records and tapes. In addition, it housed the school’s audio-visual equipment. Mrs. Elaine Dumas was head librarian. The school’s Guidance Department had six counselors who were available to students. The counselors performed a wide range of duties, including helping students to select their courses, helping seniors gain college admission and financial aid, administering numerous standardized exams, or just listening to students experiencing difficulties at school or home. A highlight of the year for the Guidance Depart- ment was sponsoring Career Awareness Day on December 5. More than 100 central Arkansas men and women representing various professions and oc- cupations visited Central. Too. the Department sponsored the visits of more than 100 college ad- missions officers. Mr. Sam Blair was nam- ed head of the Department this school year, replacing Mr. Milton Armstrong who retired from Central’s faculty last school year.

These organizations ranged from honor clubs (such as the National Honor Society) to depart- mental clubs (such as the Future Homemakers of America) and from service clubs (such as Key- Club) to special interest groups (such as the Tiger Concert Choir). The club program was an important part of Central High. Administrators believed that clubs allowed students to develop leadership abilities and that they taught students to work with others in reaching common goals. It was a good year for our club program, Principal Everett Hawks said. Our clubs were very active. Latin Club member� prepare to have their picture made (left) for the 1485 PIX year- book.

Clubs—91 STUDENT COUNCIL Council works to ‘unify’ school; projects aid many in community To “unify the school, the Student Council sponsored numerous projects dur- ing the school year. These projects began in mid-August before the start of the school year when the Council sponsored sophomore orientation, which was designed to make the sopho- mores’ adjustment to Central much easier, according to senior Elgin Clemons, stu- dent body president. Most of the Council's projects, however, were designed to involve all students. These ranged from Homecoming Week in October to the traditional student-faculty basketball game in February, from TW1RP Week in February to the honors convocation in May. The Council, working through first period classes, adopted more than 50 needy children in the community at Christmas. Gifts were provided to these children. The Council members visited a local nursing home on a regular basis throughout the school year. Other student body officers, in addition to Clemons, were Amy Darwin, first vice president; Andre Robinson, second vice president; Debbie Truax and Jean Baltimore, senior class senators; Chris Harris and Chris Drake, junior class senators; and Johnny Bailey and Kim Byers, sophomore class senators. The Council met each Wednesday. Mrs. Eleanor Bodenhamer, instructor of English, served as Student Council sponsor and received the praise of the student body officers for her efforts in helping the Council to have one of its most successful years in many years. Senior claw «enator Debbie Truax uses yarn to make fuzzies that were given to teachers in November.

HONOR SOCIETY Selling of ‘movie cards’ proves popular project Members of the National Honor Society joined with members of Mu Alpha Theta in selling discount movie cards during the second week of October. The discount movie cards were hot items. Approximately 25 per cent of the student body and several teachers purchased the cards, which sold for S7.50 each and which allowed the holder to gain ad- mission for one year to any United Artists or Rand Theatre for the price of a child’s ticket. The National Honor Society participated in almost all of the school’s campaigns, ranging from Homecoming Week to Clean- Up Weeks. Too, the organization provided refreshments to juniors taking the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) during the fall. Amy Brown, a senior, was president of the organization and presided over its twice monthly meetings. Calling a meeting of the National Honor Society to order is senior Amy Brown, president.

Mu Alpha Theta, an honorary society for outstanding students of math, participated in numerous projects during the school year. However, the project gaining the most attention was one designed to send eight delegates to the national Mu Alpha Theta convention in Hawaii during the first week of August. Delegates were to be chosen on their participation in the club’s many activities, which ranged from selling carnations during Homecoming Week to tutoring classmates needing assistance in math and from co-sponsoring the sale of movie discount cards in the fall to sponsoring the National Math Exam administered to in- terested students in the spring. To be eligible for Mu Alpha Theta membership, a student must have completed or be in the process of completing five semesters of college preparatory math and have a B or better overall average.

AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE Organization sponsors study of Turkish exchange student One foreign exchange student studied at Central this school year under spon- sorship by the American Field Service. The student was Taner Yilmaz of Ga- ziantep. Turkey. However, the American Field Service also paid attention to the other foreign exchange students who studied at Cen- tral this school under auspices of several other international exchange programs. Several times during the year, AFS sponsored programs for all the ex- changees. All of the school's exchangees and their host families were invited to a get- acquainted with Central party at the opening of the school year. Headed by senior Roberta Griscom, president, the American Field Service also had several of its members who made application to study during the summer of 1985 or during the 1985-86 school year in other countries. One of the major social activities of the school year for the organization was a Christmas party in mid-December. The party was also attended by members of the Tiger Arts Guild.

TIGER ARTS GUILD Group closes its year with trip to Memphis As has become traditional, the Tiger Arts Guild made plans to conclude its year by taking a trip to Memphis. In previous years, the trip had been taken to attend a con- cert by the New York Metropolitan Opera, which visits Mem- phis each spring. However. TAG officers were attempting to decide as the PIX went to press if they would attend a perfor- mance by the Met or one of the off-Broadway plays visiting Memphis. Under the leadership of senior Robert Steele, president. TAG met twice monthly. Primary purpose of the meetings was to keep students informed of major cultural events scheduled for the central Arkansas area. Members of TAG worked very closely during the year with the Arkansas Repertory Theatre, located across from MacArthur Park in the downtown area. TAG members worked as ushers for the approx- imately six plays presented during the fall and w inter. By volunteering to work as ushers, our members got the opportunity to see some good plays without having to buy tickets, Steele said. During the Christmas season, all TAG members were invited to attend a Christmas party at the home of junior Conevery Bolton. Approx- imately 60 of the organization's members attended. Mr. Charles Brown, instructor of social studies, was sponsor. 104—Tiger Arts Guild Showing their support for the Tiger football squad (above) arc members of the Tiger Arts Guild who ride their entry in the Homecoming Parade during the fall.

On a regular basis, members of TAILS went to these two junior high schools to work with students having school attendance difficulties or with students who felt they “simply needed somebody to talk with. The TAILS members also worked closely with Central High sophomores having attendance problems. TAILS members attended regular ses- sions designed to help them with their counseling.

The organization conducted its membership drive during the fall, recruiting approximately 125 members. Our club had declined in member- ship during the previous two school years and we reversed that trend this school year. Kay indicated. Group sets lead in school drive Students for Black Culture pledged SI.000 to the Roosevelt Thompson Memorial Scholarship Fund in the fall. The SI.000 represented the most that any club at Central pledged to the fund, which was established only this school year to honor a former Central High student body president who was killed in an automobile accident in the spring of last year. Membership in Students for Black Culture was open to any student interested in learning more about black culture and in- terested in working for the betterment of the school and the community. The organization had a very active year. Activities ranged from presenting a skit at the Elizabeth Mitchell Children’s Center in December to selling carnations for Valen- tine’s Day. from participating in activities of Black History Week in February to sponsor- ing a citywide talent show in May. and from selecting a Mr. and Miss SBC to par- ticipating in Tigerfest activities.

GLENDA LANEY, Senior Sponsor SENIOR COUNCIL Members’ work aids all seniors Consisting of a representative from each of the senior English classes, the Senior Council’s main responsibility was to insure the success of the traditional end-of-thc- year senior class activities.” These activities included the banquet, the prom, baccalaureate, and commence- ment. Most attention, however, was devoted to the banquet and prom, which were costly. To aid in financing these activities, the Council sponsored several money-making projects, including the selling of com- puterized dating forms prior to Valentine’s Day. The banquet was April 25 at the River- front Hilton Inn and the prom was May 25 at the Camelot Inn. Ronnie Caveness was president of the senior class.

An honor roll stu- dent. O’Dell was credited with much of the success that the club enjoyed this school year. LATIN CLUB Club provides ‘fun’ for its membership Activities associated with the Latin Club were primarily those that could be classifed as fun ac- tivities, according to senior Clay O’Dell, president. O’Dell said that members especially enjoyed dress- ing in togas, whether it was for some special meeting or to ride our club's entry in the Homecom- ing Parade. Amid the fun activities, Latin Club did give assistance to the school and community. The club, for example, raised S250 for the Roosevelt Thomp- son Memorial Scholarship Fund. Helping the club raise this money was one of the most popular booths at Tiger Fest in the spring. The booth, called Sop a Slop.” allowed students to throw wet sponges at sophomores for a small fee. The club’s membership attended two statewide languages festivals, winning high honors at both of these festivals. Any student enrolled in one of the school’s Latin classes was eligible for membership in the club, which was sponsored by Mrs. Pat Nipper and which met twice monthly.

Their visit to Germany was under the auspices of the German-Amcrican Partnership Program, a program financed by the West German government. The three seniors lived with Ger- man families in Pforzheim, located in the Black Forest area. GERMAN CLUB Several members of club visit in land that they study about Four members of the German Club got the opportunity to study in Germany during 1984. Barbara Mulach. a senior, studied in Germany for four weeks during the sum- mer. She won the German trip by scor- ing high on the National German Exam, which is administered yearly to in- terested German students. Three other seniors—Kim Fletcher. Sean Hill, and Steven Rodgers—spent one month during late fall in Germany as part of a program financed by the West German government. Members of the German Club par- ticipated in numerous activities. A major fun activity was attending the annual Oktoberfest in Hot Springs during October. Another fun activity was a one-day trip to Pinnacle Mountain State Park where members had a picnic, played games, and communicated only in German. Prior to Christmas, members visited the homes of several German- speaking families and caroled in Ger- man. Members participated in several statewide languages festivals during the school year and won top awards at these festivals. Barbara Mulach was president of the organization.

With great saddness, Lettermen David Jones and Robert Steele deliver the bell to Hall's cheerleaders at the end of the Hall-Central football game. The Bell! The bell quit ringing for Central High on Thursday, September 20. That was the day the Tiger football team lost to the Hall High Warrior foot- ball team. The bell came onto the spirit scene in 1975 with the stipulation its ownership would be decided yearly at the Hall- Central football game. The bell had been at Central through- out all of last school year and through the first three games of this school year. The school’s all-male spirit group, the Lettermen. had rung it proudly at the Tiger football games. Central had a second chance to regain it in the state AAAA football playoffs during early November. That was when the Tigers and the Warriors met for a second time. However. Hall again prevailed. The bell was donated by the late Mr. Harr r Coonley, a 1927 graduate. He said he decided to donate it when his grand- son. Rocky Siegler, a football player, graduated from Hall in 1975. The bell, made of brass and valued at approximately S2.000. was originally the bell of Engine Number 555 on the defunct Louisiana-Arkansas Railroad. I thought the bell would stand as a symbol of fellowship and good-natured combat between these two great schools. Mr. Coonley said in a 1982 in- terview with the Tiger. “Hall and Cen- tral are great schools.” Mr. Coonley died on September 1, 1984. at the age of 76.

FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS Coupons assist needy residents Under the leadership of junior Leslie Her- ring, president, the Future Business Leaders of America participated in numerous pro- jects. The project, however, gaining the most attention was one designed to aid the needy. FBLA members collected manufacturers’ coupons and made them available to the elderly and needy residents of the central Little Rock area. The club sponsored a contest for First period classes in an effort to gain coupons. A party was given to the First period class col- lecting the most coupons. The winner was Mrs. Kay Thompson's Shorthand 1 class, which collected 6,186 coupons. All total, more than 30,000 coupons were collected. Other activities of the club included spon- soring a Christmas party in mid-December for the students at Archild’s, a school for the handicapped. Members attended their city, district, and state conventions. They won numerous awards in the various competitions at these conventions.

Numerous students sought membership in the group, which made numerous ap- pearances both at school and in the com- munity throughout the school year. The Madrigals were chosen by Mr. Brack during competitive tryouts in the spring. Most of those entered in the tryouts had completed either one or two years in the Tiger Concert Choir or the Varsity Choir.

Edited by junior Ann Dissly during the first semester and by junior Ross Cranford during the second semester, the Tiger was published weekly, except dur- ing holiday and exam periods. It was provided free to members of the student body. “There are very few high school newspapers in the nation that appear as often as the Tiger. Mr. Charles Lance, faculty adviser, said. It creates more work but it allows the student body to keep informed of current happenings and upcoming events at Central. All work, except the actual printing, was done by the Tiger staffers. The staffers wrote their articles, set them in type, and did page paste-ups. The newspaper was printed by students at Metropolitan-Vocational Technical Education Center.

He said that his staff had started work several weeks before the opening of the school year and had worked most weekends through March, most holiday periods, and many nights in “seeking a book that mirrors the 1984-85 school year. The yearbook staff met the last two periods of the school day under the supervi- sion of Mr. Charles Lance, instructor of journalism. The staff operated with a budget of ap- proximately $30,000. We’ve had to raise every cent of our budget since the School District does not provide any financial sup- port. Frith said. Raising money took lots of our time. The yearbook was included in the school’s publications fee. which was $26 this year. The fee also included the Tiger newspaper and Labyrinth literary magazine. Printer for the 1985 PIX was Walsworth Publishing Company of Marceline, Missouri, which was the same printer used for the 1984 PIX yearbook. PIX STAFF—(Bottom Row) Jill Gerard, Jane Colclasurc.

He won numerous football honors. Rushing lor y is tailback I Important! That was the way to describe Central High’s sports program during the 1984-85 school year. The program welded the student body into one unit. When a Tiger team won, “we” won. When a Tiger team lost, “we” lost. Central’s sports program yielded equal oppor- tunities for both male and female athletes; however, because of tradition, the male teams were the ones that drew most of the attention. Central has always fielded strong athletic teams, especially in the three major sports- football, basketball, and track. The 1984-85 school year was certainly no exception. And, Central has always had a spirited stu- dent body supporting these Tiger teams.

Tigers win conference title, but they're forced to share it As had been predicted, the Tigers won the AAAA-North Conference title. What had not been predicted was that the Tigers would have to share the title with the North Little Rock Northeast Chargers. Both teams finished with 4-1 league records. It was the first time in the history of Northeast, dating back to 1969. for that school to gain a championship title in football. It was the second consecutive year for the Tigers to compete in the AAAA- North Conference. During their first season in the conference, the Tigers won the title outright. Overall, the Tigers finished 6-4 in regular season action. In the playoffs at the conclusion of the regular season, the Tigers won their first round game, beating the Forrest City Mustangs. 7-0. in a game played at Quigley Stadium.

Tailback Tony Holmes scored the (Continued to Page 155.) (Continued From Page 151.) season that was filled with both high and low periods. Here’s how the season went: PARKVIEW The Tigers, ranked among the top five teams in all of the state's major high school polls, opened their season August 31 in a home game with the Parkview Patriots, who were also ranked among the top five. The Tigers were the victors. 28-7. The game featured two of the state's top tailbacks—the Tigers’ Tony Holmes and the Patriots’ James Rouse. Although Holmes was outrushed by Rouse. Holmes dominated the game. He scored three touchdowns and amassed 83 yards in rushing. The first Tiger touchdown was set up by Elgin Clemons’ fumble recovery on the Patriot seven-yard line on the first play of the game. Two plays later. Holmes caught a three-yard pass from quarterback Chris Thomas. The Tigers’ final score came in the closing minutes of the game when sophomore Johnny Bailey dove in from three yards out. MILLS On September 7, the Tigers handily defeated the Wilbur D. Mills Comets. 38-6, in a game at Mills. Again, Holmes was the offensive work horse for the Tigers, rushing for 245 yards on 23 carries and scoring all five Tiger touchdowns. Too, halfback David Riesenberg rushed for 74 yards in the game. PINE BLUFF The Tigers entertained the Pine Bluff Zebras on September 13. The game was one filled with Tiger fumbles and mistakes. When the game ended, the Zebras were the victors. 13-7. The Zebras' winning touchdown came in the final quarter after Tiger Richard Lebos missed a 47-yard field goal attempt. The Zebras then drove 80 yards in nine plays to take the victory. HALL The Tigers were expected to have little dif- ficulty in defeating the unranked Hall War- riors when the two teams met September 20 at Quigley Stadium. The Warriors, however, had a different idea. They won the game. 20-2. On their first possession of the game, the Warriors went 66 yards in 12 plays for a touchdown. The PAT was good and the Warriors had a quick 7-0 lead.

Following the delay, the Tigers went 73 yards on 13 plays for the touchdown. Holmes scored it from four yards out. Despite the weather, the Tiger defense was tough, playing its best game of the year. The defense allowed the Mustangs only four, first downs during the entire game—two in the first half and two in the second half. HALL On November 15, the Tigers moved to the second round of the AAAA playoff games by facing the Hall Warriors. It was the second time during the season for the Tigers to face the Warriors.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Warriors went 66 yards for a touchdown, widening their lead to 14-3. The Tigers regained the ball and pushed into Warrior territory only to have a Warrior intercept a pass on the 36-yard line and run it back for a touchdown.

Senior quarterback Chris Thomas spearheaded the drive by connect- ing with junior William Eubanks for a 29-yard gain. After the successful pass, Thomas was in- jured on the next play when hit from his blind side by a Warrior defender. The Tiger score came when Tony Holmes crashed in from the one-yard line. The PAT was good and the score went to 20-10. where it remained for the remainder of the game. The state playoffs were won by the 156—Football Catholic High Rockets.

Young male team finishes second in its conference For much of the 1985 season, the male Tiger basketball squad was ranked No. 1 in all of the state's major high school polls. At the con- clusion of the regular season, the Tigers had lost the No. 1 ranking, but they still were ranked among the stale’s top five high school teams in these polls. The Tigers fielded a young team, a team that made it known to the state that it would be a powerhouse next season. The male Tigers finished the regular season with a 7-3 record in the AAAA-North Conference and a 21-7 record overall. The Tigers finished second in the conference, behind North Little Rock Northeast, which had an 8-2 record. The Tigers had won the con- ference title during the previous season. In the state AAAA tournament, which was played at Pine Bluff during the first week of March, the Tigers beat Watson Chapel in the first game and lost to Fayetteville in the second game. Russellville won the tournament and advanced to the state's overall tournament. Magnolia won the overall title. Finishing third in the AAAA-North Conference was the Jackson- ville Red Devils with a 6-4 record, fourth was North Little Rock Ole Main with a 5-5 record, sixth was Conway with a 3-7 record, and last was Sylvan Hills with a 2-8 record. It was an exciting season for Tiger fans. A large number of the games was exceedingly close and several went into overtime. It was rare throughout the season for the Tigers cither to completely pull away from an opponent or to allow an opponent to completely pull away from them. The Lady Tigers did not qualify for the state tournament. The team finished the season with a 2-8 conference record and a 7-15 overall record. During the previous season, the Lady Tigers went the entire season without winning a single conference game, finishing with a 3-15 overall record. (Continued on Page 160.)

The state's most-heralded junior was a member of the male Tiger squad. He was center Anthony Bledsoe, who is ex- pected to be highly recruited by many of the na- tion’s major colleges and universities next school year. Bledsoe was the leading scorer and rebounder for the Tigers in many games. Favorites with the Tiger fans though were senior guard Keith Richardson and junior for- ward Joe Shaver. Both of the players had quick moves and both had some exciting plays during the season. Other starters were senior guard Phillip Bryant and senior forward John Nimmer. The top reserve for the Tigers was senior guard Aaron Hansberry. In addition to the male varsity team and the female team. Central fielded a junior varsity team for male students. The team, coached by Mr. Raymond Scogin. went 15-3 for the season. It was used primarily as a “training ground for future varsity players.

Track teams seek crowns Both the male and female Tiger track teams took to the field in March with a common goal—to win the AAAA-North Conference title and the state title. The two teams were the preseason favorite to win the AAAA-North Con- ference titles. Too. they were both considered serious contenders” for state titles. During the previous season, the male Tigers easily won the conference title, but they finished a disappointing fourth in the state meet. They were considered to be the top contenders for the title. Last year's female team was runner-up for the conference title, be- ing upset by Conway in the conference meet. (Continued to Page 164.)

West Memphis won the 1984 state male title in track. Pine Bluff won the female title. I think West Memphis, Northeast, and Pine Bluff, as well as Central, all have a good shot at the 1985 state male title, Coach Clyde Horton said. Coach Horton’s teams have won the state titles 13 times during the past 24 years. He has been recognized as the nation's most successful high school track coach. Pine Bluff entered the 1985 season as favored to win the state female title, something that is becoming a habit for that school. MALE DISTANCE RUNNERS—(Bottom Row) Bobby Green, Eric Wilborn.

Other Tiger teams gain attention from students Most student attention was given to the school's three major sports programs—football, basketball, and track. However, there were other programs that involved numerous students. The other” Tiger teams included cross country, volleyball, golf, tennis, soccer, and swimming. The cross country and volleyball teams competed in the fall. The others competed in the spring. The volleyball team captured the AAAA-North Conference title. It was the first time in the five years that Central has had a volleyball team that the school had won a conference title in the sport. The team had a 9-1 conference record and a 10-2 overall record. Vcnita Hammond, a senior, was named to the All-State Team. The male cross country team did not fare too well this season, failing to finish in the top five at the state meet. Not enough girls wanted to compete for the school to field a full female team. During the past 25 years that Coach Clyde Horton has super- vised the male cross country teams, they have won state titles 20 times. Yes, I was disappointed over this season.” he said. You always like to win state cham- pionships. The tennis and golf teams were expected to be major contenders among the schools in the Little Rock area: however, the teams were not expected to fare well this school year in state competitions. The male golf team was the runner-up in the AAAA-North Conference during the previous year. Because of a lack of interest, the school did not field a female team last school year and was not expected to field one again this school year. Both the tennis and golf teams lost most of its members from last school year to graduation. Many sophs were members of the teams. (Continued to Page 168.)

Hopefully, we contributed to attend- ance at athletic events and in creating pride among students for their Tiger sports teams and for their school.” Katherine said. The junior cheerleaders participated in all of the school’s pep assemblies and pep rallies, they attended all home athletic events and many of the out-of-town events, they provided the cheering for a benefit basketball game designed to aid the needy of central Arkansas, and they participated in Little Rock Zoo Day.

Setting the pace for school spirit was the Tiger varsity cheerleading squad, which was sponsored by Mrs. Bettye Williams, instructor of physical education. The varsity cheerleaders sponsored the school’s pep assemblies and pep rallies. The pep assemblies came during regular school hours and were presented as all-student affairs. The pep rallies came during the mornings before the school day started. The varsity cheerleaders were in attendance at all home Tiger athletic events. Too, they were present for most of those that were away from Central. Prior to the start of the school year, the cheerleaders attended a National Cheerleaders Association Camp at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. They won the highest awards given in competitions at the affair, which was attended by approximately 50 cheerleading squads. Other activities of the cheerleaders included participating in Little Rock Zoo Day during the fall, attending a chccrlcading demonstration at University Mall, and participating in the Arkan- sas High School Cheerleading Competition in November at Mills High School. The cheerleaders practiced daily for several weeks prior to the opening of the school year. Too, they met at the conclusion of each school day to practice their routines and yells.

Adding color, as well as pro- moting spirit, at Tiger sports events was something the Hi- Steppers did exceptionally well this school year. Captained by senior Alisa Marks, the Hi-Steppers per- formed at all of the school’s pep assemblies and pep rallies as well as practically all of the home athletic events. It was one of the smallest Hi- Stepper teams in the history of the school. However, it is believed that a new School District policy that requires spirit teams to have all of their practice sessions after school hours caused fewer girls to seek team membership. Two of the team’s members were also members of the previous year’s team. They were the two officers—Alisa Marks, the captain, and Lisa Smith, the 2nd lieutenant. All other members were new to the squad, which was sponsored by Mrs. Janis Molock. HI-STEPPERS—(Bottom Row) 2nd Lieutenant Lisa Smith and Captain Alisa Marks. (Second Row) Tamitha Lewis. Joy Heard.

We were called “Tigers 1 by those who knew On any given day of the school year, approx- imately 2.000 of us inhabitated a small area in central Little Rock that was called Central High School. Our Tigers came in different colors, different sizes, and different ages. We were five-year-olds who studied in kindergarten, we were teenagers who studied a wide range of vocational and academic courses, and we were adults who were teachers or support personnel. We had fierce loyalty to our school, a school that has gained an international reputation for its human relations program and a school that sets the academic pace for other high schools in Arkansas to follow.

A look at Central High’s teaching roster during the 1984-85 school year revealed a group of teachers well-known in education circles. It (Central’s teaching staff) is probably the best qualified in Arkansas, a State Department of Education official said. Of the 107 certified employees at Cen- tral during the 1984-85 school year, ap- proximately two-thirds of them held ad- vanced degrees in their subject areas. There were three who possessed doctorate degrees, something rare at a high school in Arkansas. Teachers at Central were dedicated to their profession. We want only teachers at Central who are genuinely dedicated to providing the best education possible to each student, a Little Rock School District spokesman said. We feel this has been accomplished. Providing leadership for the teaching staff at Central was Principal Everett Hawks, who completed his second year in the position and who gained praise from Little Rock School District officials for “excellent work. Mr. Hawks met on a monthly basis with the faculty, a faculty he said had been very cooperative and is the best in the state.

For most teachers, evenings meant grading papers—papers that weren’t graded during the one- hour preparation period given daily to teachers. Too. some teachers left school each day to go to work at second jobs. Practically all teachers left school knowing that they had family responsibilities to fulfill. One teacher who worked was Mrs. Brenda James, an instructor of math, who was employed at a local real estate firm. My hours are flexible in selling real estate.” Mrs. James said. “I make sure that my obligation to the students in my classes comes first. Mr. Charlie Brown, an instructor of social studies, was an auxiliary policeman with the Little Rock Police Department. “I don’t get paid, Mr. Brown said. I work as an auxiliary policeman because it’s my way of helping out the community. Mr. Brown indicated that he worked between ten and fifteen hours weekly. MRS.

They helped staff the offices of candidates, they campaigned from door-to- door. or they contributed money to the Little Rock Classroom Teachers Association's political action committee (PAC). Two teachers, however, were directly involved in the elec- tion. Their husbands were candidates for offices. The teachers were Mrs. Debra Mahone, instructor of English, and Mrs. Jimmie Lou Neal, instructor of kindergarten. Mrs. Mahone's husband, Glenn, was the Democratic nominee for State Representative. District 56. Mrs. Neal’s husband, Jim, was a candidate for Little Rock Municipal Judge, Position 1 (Criminal Division). Both candidates narrowly lost. Both Mrs. Mahone and Mrs. Neal said they had met many nice people” in campaigning for their husbands and had made many “new friends.” Mrs. Mahone's husband is a banker and Mrs. Neal's hus- band is an attorney. On November 6, Mrs. Jimmie Lou Neal, kinder- garten instructor, stands outside a poll in cam- paigning for her husband, a candidate for Little Rock Municipal Judge. Position I (Criminal). 180—Faculty Atop her car, Mrs. Debra Mahonc, an English teacher, campaigns for her husband. Glenn, the Democratic nominee for State Representative.

Caring Staff shows concernjor students by giving ‘an extra effort’ to worK ‘‘Dedicated is the way that Principal Everett Hawks described his 1984-85 staff. It was a good description of the employees at Central. The start'knew that Central High functioned for one reason—to provide a quality education to each of the ap- proximately 2,000 students enrolled at the school. The staff was determin- ed that each student would get a quality education—an education that would provide him with a place in tomorrow’s world. StalT members were willing to pro- vide an extra effort to their work. This was shown in the large number of teachers who came to school early or left late so they could work in the school’s successful tutoring program or dropout prevention program, so they could sponsor clubs, etc. Advanced biology student Shcllic Fletcher. ii- c i i a senior, gets aid from her teacher.

It was a yell that might imply the class thought only about partying, but that certainly wasn't the case. The Class of '85 set the pace for other classes to follow. The seniors filled the school’s major leader- ship roles, they led the quarterly honor rolls posted by Principal Everett Hawks, they yelled the loudest at pep assemblies and pep rallies, they outnumbered underclassmen at athletic events, etc. President of the class was Ronnie Caveness. He was assisted by Jennifer Herron and Jeff Jacob, vice presidents, and Lucinda Lyon, secretary. Highlighting the year for the seniors were the traditional class banquet in mid-April, the prom in mid-May, and—of course—commencement on Tuesday. May 28.

Physical After improving their minds, students are ready for bodies After a week of trying to improve their minds, many students this school year were ready on weekends to work on improving their bodies. Physical fitness is something that should involve every person, not just athletes. senior Ronnie Cavencss said. I play football and it’s vital I stay in good shape, but even if I didn’t participate in organized sports. 1 would work to stay in good shape. Cavencss. and many other students, were members of the various gyms and health clubs around the city. Getting exercise varied though with students. Some played ten- nis or golf, some others were involved in running or jogging, and a few participated in such sports as fencing and rugby. A few students, such as senior Jason Proctor, made money while exercising. Proctor, an accomplished tennis player, gave lessons to young players. A poll conducted by first year journalism students indicated that approximately two out of three students at Central this school year exercised once or more weekly. And. the poll indicated that almost all of those who exercised on a regular basis said they enjoyed” it. HANNA M.

Work! eMost seniors want jobs, but not all can find therri Jobs! Most high school students are not too enthused about working, especially when the work comes in the evenings after they have been in school all day. However, students enjoy having money. For many of these students, that money only comes through jobs. Most seniors this school year wanted jobs. However, about half of those who wanted jobs couldn't find them. One of the fortunate seniors with a job was senior Tracy Badger, who worked approximately 24 hours weekly at Tastee Free Restaurant on University Avenue. I don’t especially like to spend 24 hours weekly on the job while going to school all week, but the money I make provides me with things that I wouldn't otherwise have, she said. I'm saving some of it for college and a car.” The minimum wage was S3.35, which was the salary paid by most employers in the Little Rock area to high school students. 188—Seniors TONI COATES, Future Business Leaders of America 10. 11; Hi-Steppers 11; Tiger Staff 11.

College Nightmares cMany seniors spend lots of theif time worrying about getting into the university of theif choice-' Most seniors planning to attend college devoted many hours during the school year in gaining admission to the college of their choice. The seniors were required to take stan- dardized tests. HU out application forms, submit certain records (such as transcripts and recommendations), etc. You actually spend as much time worry- ing about getting into the university of your choice as you do in submitting admission materials.” Steven Rodgers, a senior, said. It’s not always easy to get into certain universities, even if you have good grades. More than 100 college and university ad- missions officers visited at Central this school year. They talked about admissions requirements and financial aid. Their visits were sponsored by the school's Guidance Department. Explaining admission requirement� at the University of Arkansas at Fayet- teville to senior Ncylon Pilkington is Mrs. Linda Porter, a senior counselor. Seniors—191 grains Central leads state■ in program honors Central High again set the pace for other Arkansas high schools to follow in two na- tional scholarship programs—the National Merit Scholarship Program and the National Achievement Scholarship Program for Out- standing Negro Students. During early fall when scmifinalists were named in the two programs. Central had more than did any other state school. There were 12 seniors named as semi- finalists in the Merit Program and four seniors named as semifinalists in the Achievement Program. Named semifmalists in the Merit Program were Erika Eichmann. Emlyn Eisenach, Kimberly Fletcher. Baucum Fulk. Kevin Hinton. Michael James, Richard Lebos. An- dre Robinson. Steven Rodgers. Deborah Truax, and Kevin Williams. Scmifinalists in the Achievement Program were Kevin Hinton. Rob Peterson. Andre Robinson, and Kelvin Walker. The semifinalists in both programs were chosen on the basis of scores they made on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which was administered the previous spring to more than one million high school juniors in the nation. Receiving Ihe congratulation of the school's two seniors class counselors. Mrs. Pat Watson (standing. left) and Mrs. Linda Porter, arc the school's scmifinalists in the National Achievement Scholarship Program for Out- standing Negro Students. They arc (from left) Robert Peterson. Kevin Williams. Andre Robinson, and Kelvin Walker. Central had more scmifinalists in the national program than did any other high school in Arkansas.

Broken bones, too. are com- mon. At least they were common at Central High this school year. Not a day passed unless a stu- dent saw several of his classmates wearing casts. How did the students break their bones? The reasons were almost as varied as the broken bones, rang- ing from car wrecks to football in- juries to falling in the shower. There was a degree of prestige in wearing a cast. For some reason, students enjoyed autographing the casts. Senior Adam Frith, who broke his arm in early fall and wore a cast for eight weeks, said that even students I didn't know too well asked if they could autograph his cast. There were also some major disadvantages to broken bones. I broke my left arm. the one I write with. senior Horace Blake said. It really slowed me down in doing my classroom work. My writing, too, was hard for my teachers to read. Students with broken legs and feet complained about climbing the stairs. You never know how many stairs are at Central until you have to get up and down them on crutches. senior Shane Hughes said. Hughes broke his foot in a football game during September.

At the end of the school day. senior Dexter Mitchem eats a burger at McDonald's, which, according to a poll, was favored among Central students over other restaurants serving hamburgers. Wendy's was second in the poll. I$e War Whicli hamburgef is best one in city? The hamburger war continued throughout the school year. The three major hamburger chains— McDonald's. Wendy’s, and Burger King —all claimed they served the best burgers. Too. there were several local restaurants that claimed their burgers were the best to be found in Little Rock. There was no doubt among students as to which restaurant had the best advertis- ing. That honor went to Wendy’s. Their commercials featured a rough-voiced, elderly lady who yelled, ’’Where’s the beef? A random poll of 100 seniors, however, showed that McDonald’s was favored. Of the 100, 38 said they favored McDonald's, 29 said they favored Wendy's, 18 said they favored Burger King, and 15 said they favored another restaurant or had no favorite. 196—Seniors IVY RENE LLOYD, ROTC 12; Y-Teens 10. 11.

Brenslcy is his name. she said. I agreed to take him when his original owner—a friend of mine—went off to college. Ouf Pets cf lmost all students owripets that are rr embers of family’ Pets were something that most Central High students had in common during the 1984-85 school year. Almost all students had some type of pet that lived in their homes. The most common pets were dogs and cats, but there were others—birds of all varieties, rabbits, hamsters, white mice, and even snakes. ‘‘You get attached to pets.” senior Jeff Jacob, the owner of an Irish Setter said. You get where you consider them as members of the family.” Junior Mike Driver, the owner of two Irish Setters, agreed with Jacob. They can also be lots of trouble at times. he said, adding that keeping ticks and fleas off of them, bathing them, taking them to the vet. and feeding and watering them each day took lots of time. The expense involved in keeping pets, especially dogs, was something that many students mentioned. A trip to the vet for a dog is about S50, senior Glen Polite said. And. it costs us a cou- ple of dollars each day to feed our dog.” Most of the students agreed that when one of their pets died, it was as if a member of their family had died. JULIE R.

Seniors—199 gymnastics Wizards Pairof Central High male seniors strives to achieve national honors in gymnastics Male gymnasts arc rare in Arkansas. But, Central High had two male gym- nasts this school year who were recognized as being among the best in the South and Southwest. The two were Neylon Pilkington and Robert Steele, both seniors. Pilkington left his family and friends in West Helena, Arkansas, to come to Little Rock where he could receive training from a male gymnastics coach. He lived in the home of Steele, which he said had helped him because Robert and I can offer encouragement to each other. Both Pilkington and Steele trained under Coach Rob Neihousc of the Westside YMCA. The two entered numerous com- petitions during the school year. These competitions were mainly in other states since men’s gymnastics is a very young sport in Arkansas,” according to Pilkington. Pilkington and Steele said they had one goal—to qualify for the nationals, which will be in New Mexico in June. In the previous year’s regional com- petition in Oklahoma. Pilkington was named best all-around in his division. Steele was injured and could not compete in the regional competition. Pilkington said he had been involved in gymnastics since the age of 14 when he discovered he was too small for football. Steele said he got interested in gymnastics around the age of 12 while watching gym- nasts train at the YMCA. AC Westside YMCA, senior Robert Steele (right) trains on the rings for an upcoming gymnastics competition. (Below) Senior Neylon Pilkington docs a floor exercise. CLAY O'DELL, Latin Club 10. 11. 12.

(Below) Senior Joe Young fishes on a local lake. Even if I don't catch anything, fishing is lots of fun and I really enjoy doing it. Young indicated. Sportsmen. State is virtual paraaise Jor hunters, fishermeri For those who like to hunt or fish. Arkansas is a vir- tual paradise. There arc numerous lakes and streams filled with a wide variety of fish. There arc abundant forests filled with enough wildlife, such as deer and rabbits, to offer a challenge for hunters. Fishing is enjoyed throughout the year in the state. For most hunters, the most popular season of the year comes for a couple of weeks in November when deer season opens. Thousands of hunters crowd the forests seeking deer. Central had many students—and teachers—who were avid fishermen and hunters. Fishing is something I really enjoy.” senior Joe Young said. “Even if I don’t catch anything, it’s a peaceful and fun experience.’’ Senior David Falcon said that hunting was his main hobby. It relaxes me and allows me to get away from my regular routine.” he said. A fishing license was $10.50 this year. A hunting license was $17.75. YOLANDA MICHELLE SCOTT.

Seniors—203 •Rjngs cMore and more guys weaf earrings; display rebelliori Each month during the 1984-85 school year, it seemed that more and more males were piercing their ears and wearing earrings, something that many in society thought should be restricted to females. Lots of people say you’re displaying rebellion against society when a guy wears an earring, but if you look back in history, earrings were fashionable for men several different times. senior Glen Polite said. Polite and other males who wore earrings agreed that they were often kidded” for wearing them. Every so often, you meet somebody who makes nasty com- ments about guys wearing earrings. Polite said. These peo- ple have problems. They want you to look and dress just like them. It’d be a boring world though if everybody looked and dressed the same way. Males at Central though weren’t the only males wearing earrings. A look through magazines revealed that many men, ranging from athletes to movie stars and from businessmen to construction workers, wore them. Men, unlike women, wore the earrings only on one ear. Wearing an earring, senior Kenneth Strange docs an assignment in one of his classes. Strange was one of quite a few male students who wore an earring in one of their cars.

Costumes Dress-up days gairi students’ attentiori Wearing costumes had appeal to a very large number of students this school year. In fact, the most popular events of Homecoming Week this school year were the various dress-up days. Dress-up days are funny. senior Kevin Churchill said. “During Homecoming Week, my favorite dress-up day was nerd day. It was funny seeing all the nerds come to school. Churchill was one of many students who had costume parties in their homes this school year. His Halloween party was attended by about 100 of his classmates. Senior Amy Voss said that dress-up days allowed students to alter their personalities” and be whatever they want to be.” She said she enjoyed seeing other people wear costumes. It's good for a few laughs. she added. You also don't mind people laughing at your costume. Sharing a laugh at a Halloween party given by senior Kevin Churchill arc seniors Steve Crincr and Larken Pahlow. Crincr went as an old wild west gunslinger and Larken went as a Charleston dancer from the Roaring Twenties Era. Seniors—207 A spirit flag that the junior class adopted this school year is shown to Principal Everett Hawks by juniors Logan Bass and Jess Hassell. Materials for the flag cost atwut $50. It was made by Bass' godmother. It helped improve class spirit. Bass said of the Bag. Juniors Spirited, eleventtigraders apply some ‘pressure’ to the seniors Members of the junior class were determined that when it came to spirit, they would not take a back seat this school year to the senior class. The class designed a spirit Hag. which was similar to the senior class spirit flag, and rallied around their flag at athletic events. In some cases, the juniors indeed did out-yell the seniors at games and at pep rallies. Juniors played an important role in non-spirit activities, too. They assumed some of the major leadership roles in student organizations. And. in schoolwide projects, such as clean-up campaigns, the juniors were involved. A highlight of the year for the juniors was getting their senior class rings in the fall. There were 558 students in the 1984-85 junior class, which was the school's second largest class. The only elective officials in the class were two senators—Chris Har- ris and Chris Drake. They conducted all necessary business for the class in addition to representing their classmates in student govern- ment affairs. Having some fun is junior Mike Driver (left� , who attends a Halloween party. (Above) Junior Jess Hassell shops for records at a local store. Juniors worked hard and played hard. Havsell said.

Shades Few Central students leave home-' without shades covering theif eyes A popular television commercial ring the school year told viewers not ro venture away from home without their American Express card. Few Central High students had American Express cards in their possession; however, practically all of them had sunglasses, more commonly called shades, that they took with them when they ventured away from home. Monica Easter, a junior, said that shades did keep the sun out of her eyes, but that she wore them because “it was just the thing to do.” “I wear them on cloudy days. she said. “Everybody else does too. It’s just habit. I guess. Ricky Mays, another junior, said he had several different pairs of shades. A pair to Fit about any mood I might be in or to match my clothes. he add- ed. A local department store salesper- son said that the sale of their sunglasses fell to practically nothing during the winter months a few years ago. “Now, sunglasses sell well every month of the year.” she said. “Our customers are mainly young people.” [A ld U r Juniors—211 Homework cMost students say they dor very little studying at home-' A federally-funded report released during the school year in- dicated that public school students, on the average, did less than five hours of homework weekly. A poll of Central High juniors revealed that the vast majority of them said they averaged doing homework only two nights weekly and that the homework required “two hours or less of their time. “With a study hall period, you're able to do practically all of your homework at school.” one junior said. In some classes, though, the teacher will assign homework and then give you the last 15 or 20 minutes of the period to do it. Junior Ross Cranford, an honor roll student, said that the amount of homework done by a student depended on what the student wanted to get out of each course. “I could get by with do- ing all my homework at school and making passing grades, or 1 can do a thorough job at home and make good grades.” he said.

Russell was enrolled in the radio and television broadcasting programs at Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center. As a result of her outstanding work, she was used as a disc jockey for KLRE-FM. the School District’s radio station that specializes in classical music. She also worked for KABF, a commercial free, community run radio station. She was a disc jockey on the station’s Satur- day Surprise Show, which aired from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Her show featured contemporary soul music. “I want a career in radio and television,” Natalie said. The experience I’m getting in high school will help me. Someday. I hope too that I’ll own my own video production company. Juniors—215 Top of Glass 4Inhere were lots of talented juniors who called Central High their home-' Central’s 1984-85 junior class was fill- ed with numerous talented students. Three of these talented juniors were Angie Dow, a gymnast; Tiffany Nesbitt, a dancer; and April Rogers, a pianist. Angie entered several statewide gym- nastic competitions during the year. In the 1984 state meet, she tied for first place in the compulsory competition in the 15 and over Class III age bracket. T do my best in floor routines,” Angie said. Tiffany performed for several groups during the school year. Highlighting her year, however, was her performance in “The Nutcracker.” an annual production of Ballet Arkansas that is viewed by thousands of state residents. “I really enjoyed performing in 'The Nutcracker’. Tiffany said. April played the piano at numerous functions in the community and at school. She has received awards for her playing in several competitions. I enjoy playing piano. April said. ‘T’ve been playing for ten years so I must enjoy it or I would have given it up long ago.

However, this school year's sophomores had a different idea about how long it should take them to adjust to life at Central. Even before the first grading quarter had ended, the sophomores had become active in many facets of school life, especially in spirit- related activities. Prior to this school year, only the senior class had a spirit flag—a flag used at athletic events to rally members of that class. This school year, however, both the sophomore class and the junior class adopted and used spirit flags, something not too popular with many seniors, but something that improved school spirit. The sophomores were well-represented on the school's quarterly Honor Rolls posted by Principal Everett Hawks, they outnumbered upperclassmen in the membership of many clubs, and they had fair representation on Tiger athletic teams. In general, they made their presence known at Central. Of the three classes at Central, the sophomore class was the largest. It had 784 students. The only elective officers in the class were two senators—Kim Byers and Johnny Bailey. The two senators served on both the Student Council executive committee and the Principal’s Cabinet in addition to conducting all business for their class. Working closely with this year’s sophomores were two assistant principals—Mrs. Marian Lacey and Mr. Rudolph Howard—and two counselors—Mrs. Mazie Brown Phillips and Mr. Sam Blair.

The cadets, mostly sophomores, were guests of the 820th Signal Company of the U.S. Army Reserve, which was on duty at Camp Robinson outside North Little Rock. It was a fun weekend. sophomore Don Rife said. “I’m thinking about a career in the military and spending a weekend with the Army Reserve only increased my interest in the military even further.” The 820th Signal Company’s duties consist of laying cable for field telephone use and in establishing a com- munications base for command posts in the field. The ranking officer of the 820th Signal Company said that the visit by the Central students was the first time for the company to have high school guests. The visit was suc- cessful. so successful that we intend to invite students from other high schools, he said. The officer said that he felt the Central cadets had learn- ed a great deal from their weekend visit. Too, I think the men and women in our company also enjoyed having the students visit with us, he added. Sophomores—221 Variety Sophs’ special interests cover ‘super wide range’ What were some of the special interests of this year’s sophomores? Their interests cover a super wide range of ac- tivities, according to one of the assistant principals who worked closely with them. These interests ranged from modeling to sports, from playing video games to watching television, from collecting stamps to writing poetry, and from “just cruisin’ the city” to knitting. Of course, the interests heard most were those that related to sports—tennis, golf, soccer, basketball, etc. The assistant principal noted that many of the sophomores had numerous interests. They’re well- rounded. she said. Special interest clubs, such as chess clubs and com- puter clubs, at school and in the city were common.

That's the way sophomore Steven Adams described his parents’ reaction to his hobby, which was rock climbing. “They’re typical parents, he said. About twice each week, provided the weather wasn’t bad, Adams and some of his friends traveled to nearby Pinnacle Mountain to do some rock climbing. He said it was more fun to go climbing with friends. “When you're with friends, it’s not quite as dangerous. he said. You can use ropes to guide each other along. And. what about the future? There’re really some great mountains in California that I’d like to climb, he said. “I’ll get there one of these days. And. anybody who knows Adams and his interest in rock climbing would agree that he will make it to California.

But. only about 60 per cent of those who qualified rode the buses. They chose to get to school by automobile, usually in neighborhood car pools. “It’s more convenient to ride in a car pool. one sophomore said. You don’t have to walk a couple of blocks to a bus Ready to lease Central on a school bus at the end of a day of classes is sophomore Brian Nomland. I wish though that I had my own car. Nomland said. stop, wait in all types of weather, and then bounce all around the area picking up other students. Sophomore Jason Harper said he rode a school bus each day. Of course. I wish I had my own car. but riding a school bus isn’t all that bad,” he said. He said that his bus was crowded at the first of the school year, but by the end of the first grading quarter, half of the seats were empty each day. About the only people on my bus each day now arc sophomores. he said. Not many juniors and seniors ride the bus; they own cars or ride in car pools.

Gubs ‘Kindergarten students take pride in Central There were approximately 60 five-year-old students enrolled in the school's kindergarten pro- gram this school year. And. according to their three teachers, these five- year-olds took pride in their school. They were glad to be young Tigers. Closely working with these 60 kindergarten students and their teachers were the students enroll- ed in the Home Economics Department's child development classes. The kindergarten program provides valuable ex- perience for our child development students. Mrs. Joan Dietz, instructor of the course, said. It allows them to study child development on a firsthand basis. They will become better parents as a result of this instruction. Central is one of a very few high schools in the na- tion with a kindergarten program operating within the Home Economics Department. Too. Central’s kindergarten program is the oldest in Arkansas. It was established in 1927. The kindergarten students participated in a wide range of fun activities designed to help educate them. Some of these fun activities included a visit by a physician who demonstrated his talk by placing a temporary cast on the arm of one of the students, a visit by an Indian in full warrior dress at Thanksgiv- ing. etc. The three teachers were Mrs. Jamie Neal. Mrs. Flora Thompson, and Mrs. Elizabeth Wright. Stanley.

We learned in our classes as we enjoyed teen years Education doesn't have to be boring. It certainly wasn V boring at Central High during the 1984-85 school year. There was the right mixture of fun ac- tivities, such as talent shows and dances, to provide a diversion in the regular school routine. And, most of our teachers knew the right moment to make us laugh and bring our attention back to our work when we were prone to daydream or nap. Central wasn V boring during the 1984-85 term. It was a place where we learned and we had fun. That's the way it should always be! A pleasant personality is what Mrs. Eleanor Bodenhamcr employed in successfully teaching the Central High students who were enrolled in her senior English classes. 290—Closing Theme JIX yearbook staffer Cindi Sharp, a senior, says it's fun” to read «he proofs on the idvcrtising section that she helped to edit.

They have been taught that the world can be made a better place through their efforts. So, look out, world! Central High School does a good job teaching its students.

As a result of a federal court ruling, the Little Rock School District must con- solidate next school year with the other two districts in Pulaski County—the North Lit- tle Rock School District and the Pulaski County School District. The ruling was be- ing appealed as the PIX went to press. (See pages 42-43.) Many of the underclassmen and faculty members pictured in the yearbook may find themselves at other schools in Pulaski County next year. They will no longer be Central High Tigers. Central High School, one of the nation’s best-known high schools and the pride of the Little Rock School District, will become one of many high schools in the new consolidated district. But. regardless of the school district that Central High senes next school year, it’s safe to assume that those associated with the school will continue to strive for ex- cellence and will continue On I he horizon of a cloudy sky. a hot air balloon floats gracefully. Hopefully, the lives of those associated with Central will also float gracefully.
