Whether through aca- demic or vocational studies, we worked as a unit built of many individual parts. A sense of unity prevailed that the years before lacked. Individuals worked hard and strived to find their own interests and places within the academic and organizational facets of school. Students found themselves being accepted as individuals made up of many parts — academic, social, and extracurricular. (a) Cheerleader Tonya Scott participates in the Homecoming car bash, (b) A foot ball player stands on the sideline clutch mg his helmet, (c) Ag I students David Andrews. Chris Angerer, and Terry Hen derson sweep up after class (d) Parents and ag students wait to help with the live stock at the Cooper Show (e) Varsity player Candy Spratlen concentrates intensely on blocking a Roosevelt lay up (f) During homeroom. Jerry Blackstock and Dwayne Pounds enioy the first snow of the winter (g) Paul Brazil and Billy Jones pop balloons at the Homecoming Academics — Part of Student Life With the beginning of classes, homework and tests crept up on students too busy for those everyday drudgeries. Stu- dents searched intently for solutions and answers they could not find. Many students came to class out of habit while others came for the purpose of learning. As a part of their activities in four classrooms, students were employed as part-time painters. The paint covered the drabness and made the rooms more conducive to study. Teachers used team teaching methods and a variety of units to ward away our ever present enemy — boredom. Extracurricular Occupies Student Time Students were busy before and after school, during homeroom, and sometimes during classes, working on extracurricular projects. Two juniors and one sophomore FHA members ran for area and state offices, while other members conducted area workshops. Every organization struggled to raise the needed revenue to finance projects. A friendly competition existed among the organizations as they struggled to be the best and most active. Unlike other national problems that do not affect us, area farmers and their families participated in the nationwide farm strike. Several students joined in the tractorcade around the loop, the blockade at the mall, and the shut down of the Ava- lanche Journal in twelve degree weather. (a) Drama initiation doesn't interfere with Bryce Daniels' chemistry work, (b) Algebra II students Joe Hall, Kyle Vinson, Misty Oats, and Bob Kitten calculate the average time for homework assign ments. (c) Brad Hays sets up for the Pirate Cove Disco dance, (d) An ag stu dent welds on the trailer to be entered in the South Plains Fair, (e) Dwayne Pounds, Jerry Noblett, Lynette Martin, and Robin Mantooth take a break from class to catch up on TV. Opening • 5 1978 — Full of Disco, Star Wars r When they weren't busy with schoolwork, students were attending box office hits such as Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Smokey and the Ban- | dit. They listened to the new disco sounds generated from the movie Saturday Night Fever. Girls turned to wearing the more feminine apparel, while plaid shirts and khakis were popular for both guys and girls. The stars Elvis Presley and Bing Crosby were two of the several famous people who died during the year. Elvis memorabilia — posters, calenders, and T-shirts — flooded the stores. The only thing predictable about the weather was that as usual it was unpredictable! School was dismissed for the first time because of snow since 1973. Early in March, weathermen had predicted some eighty-four sandstorms Co-editors Kayla Jones Brenda Stone JCPemey (a) At the Christmas faculty party, at Pauletta Brownfield’s house, Karla Alex ander, Pam Brown, and Jim Gordon open the refrigerator given to the faculty by the Student Council, (b) The newly purchased microfiche reader demon strated by librarian Ron Hogue, (c) At a going away party for library aide Pam Sanders, she and Darrell Hunt enjoy cake and coke. Teachers used the tradi- tional textbooks and study questions, but students were also exposed to indi- vidualized work and con- tracting. Team teaching methods were used to add variety to regular classes. Section Editor Theresa Williams Academics • 9 Teachers Aren't. . .

She and annual staff member Brenda Stone eat a colorful breakfast. 10 • Academics . . .Teachers 24 Hours a Day! Gardening, cooking, children and hunting — sound like books in the recreation section in the library? Wrong. After school dis- misses at 3:45 teachers change into “human beings.” After eight hours of career life, they undergo metamorphosis and change into people with interests and hobbies. Family life ranks high among the priorities in a teacher’s life. Stories about their children sprinkled the conversation in the lounge and the classroom. Teachers’ children enjoyed stu- dents’ attention at school func- tions. The single teachers enjoy out- door activities and extra jobs. Ron Hogue and Patti Payton spend time together outdoors gardening, bicycling and water- skiing. Donna Todd and Linda Brown held extra jobs in addition to interests in cooking, geology, and plants. Cooper teachers bring to their students wide spectrum of inter- ests and experiences. James Dramis keeps in shape by jog- ging and lifting weights. Dee Elrod water skis and repairs automobiles. Reading is the way Kay Graves “keeps her mind alert and it also keeps her aware of current developments in her field. Contrary to popular beliefs teachers don't spend all their time grading papers and making out tests. They do sleep, go to the show, and buy groceries. Teachers aren’t teachers 24 hours a day. . . (a) Coach Bobby Brown announces the winner of the boys track award at the ath- letic banquet, (b) Drama director Pam Brown follows the script as one act play cast rehearses, (c) Paulette Brownfield threatens the photographer with her broom while she does yardwork. (d) Tabulating results at the girls district track meet is Coach Darrell Hunt, (e) Oli- ver Thompson and his wife Linda enjoy a relaxing evening at the Junior Senior banquet. Academics • 11 Wish for 'Fiche Comes True ReadirT and Writin’ ” was a thing of the past for English classes, while novels, audiovisu- als and contracts became the new outlook. Vet there always seemed to be a grindstone” attitude when studying the tradi- tional grammar. English II and III classes were especially famil- iar with these skills because they were involved in several compos- ition contracts. Students experi- enced much of the same litera- ture activities such as reading plays, vocabulary work, and designing posters. Senior Eng- lish students employed basic skills in creating their own Can- terbury Tales. They discovered different aspects and viewpoints on death while reading On Death and Dying.” A fish without water is like a library without microfiche. Microfiche is the complete issue of a magazine on a 5 x 7 nega- tive which is inserted into a reader and enlarges a page on a screen. The microfiche material has greatly increased the research sources for students. Films and slide projectors, screens and tape recorders were constantly on the move as teach- ers supplemented plans with films, slides and cassettes. (a) Looking up information for English class are Billy Jones and Gail Platt, (b) Tonya Scott searches for magazines to aid Bobby Davis on his junior theme, (c) Transporting library equipment was one of the responsibilities of librarians Rod- ney Warlick and Jesse Estrada, (d) Dee Dee Hawkins and Gloria Galicia work together on an English project. 12 • Academic: (a) Because of 50-60 degree tempera ture in the annex wing, health, govern ment, and English students were forced to find warmer classrooms, (b) A small class gave Clare Dulaney time for individ- ualized work with Kathy Coventry, (c) Librarian Ron Hogue demonstrates how to use the new microfiche to Terry Don Thomason, (d) Concentrating intently on her reading is senior Nancy Janes.

(b) Conferring over the school newspa per are math teacher James Dramis and Chuck Brown, (c) Martha Montemayor and Renee Gilliland look on as Larry Lan- gerhans types Dean Heinrich's blood, (d) Michael Perez concentrates on an achievement test given by counselor Paulette Brownfield. (a) 14 • Academics Self-Pace Ends in Race In the science department Chemistry students experienced self-paced individualized learn- ing. This method required organized study habits and proper planning of work in order to meet deadlines. A sense of accomplishment offset the pres- sure of self-pacing and complex-, ity of subject material. Biology I students dissected small ani- mals, built DNA models and determined blood types. The major project of Biology II stu- dents was dissecting a fetal pig. They took field trips to the Tech Medical School and West Texas Hospital. In math classes students were introduced to concepts and then given exercises to reinforce their knowledge of that concept. This meant nightly homework with Algebra and geometry problems. The history of geometry was pre- sented, giving a background for the course. Some algebra II stu- dents were challenged to learn material without teacher instruc- tion. Homework assignments were attempts to solve problems covering the new self learned material. Testing is as routine as chang- ing classes. Kuder tests were given to sophomores to deter- mine occupational skills. Achievement tests were adminis- tered to freshmen and junior classes. Seniors worried over SAT and ACT tests for college admission. (a) Vicki Skipworth, Karla Alexander, Pam Brown, and Nell Stanford are intrigued by the make up demonstration sponsored by FHA. (b) Principal D.N. Taylor consults with Paulette Brownfield, (c) Ag activities included innoculating pigs as shown by John Weathers. Academics • 15 (a) (c) (a) In economics class, Debbie Hays learns how to budget her money and time, (b) Helping tabulate results at the Cooper stock show is Linda Thompson, (c) Frances Rojas is preparing potatoes for her cooking lab in Homemaking, (d) Estella Garcia and Ann Huddleston work on their sewing projects in Homemaking II. « ) 16 • Academics Government Classes Study Crime, Courts From King Tut to Truman and Nebuchadnezzar to Nixon, his- tory classes studied “something old, something new and their relation to current political events. Government classes were spent studying crime and the American court systems. Students attended an actual trial in which they watched court room procedure. The latter part of the year introduced the eco- nomics section, covering bank- ing, credit and wise consumer purchases. DECA, CVAE, VAC, Home-ec and Ag — these are not abbrevi- ations for government agencies but represent classes covering a wide spectrum of skills, from building a house to constructing a dress. Girls learned about grooming and fashion, and also about raising livestock and han- dling a saw in shop classes. Male interests in elective courses var- ied from farm mechanics to con- struction skills to involvement in home and family relations class. Numerous Cooper students took advantage of the special work programs to receive on the job training. (a) Oliver Thompson supervises the activities of farm power students Mike Lincecum, Ernesto Garcia and Jerry Nob- lett. (b) During a government field trip, Abel Salazar clowns around while waiting for the bus. (c) Switchboard operator Robin Mantooth giggles as she is caught eating a tootsie pop. Academics • 17 Apples or Arrows • • • Apples or arrows . . . blue or green? That's what made the new high school scene! Teachers and students combined paint and creativity to design new classroom atmosphere. One painted an apple over a dark grey background while another painted a dark blue arrow over a light blue wall. Still another used contrasting yellow and green. School wasn’t all books and studying because there were those humorous incidents that broke the monotony. Like the time Miss Payton greeted Mrs. Platt with a pie in the face to introduce a new comedy unit. Or the time a cat came in through a broken window in Miss Hardens room and she found it behind her filing cabinet. Or the time senior English played airport. Or the many times the terrible odor engulfed students due to chem- istry experiments. There were always those hur- ried field trips which were wel- comed by students as a chance to get out of the classroom. After lunch there were always flying frisbees, snowballs or oranges. Students of western” persua- sion played foursquare to coun- try music, while rock and roll fans listened to the blaring music of the Bee Gees. These incidents were only a small sample of students' cre- ative efforts in breaking the monotony of school. (a) Foy Graves begs for food from Nell Stanford in the teachers' lounge, (b) Spirit is a big part in pre game warm up for the teachers at the junior faculty bas ketball game, (c) Jay Brown, Claire Dula- ney and Pam Brown help sponsor the student council dance by collecting admission fee. (d) Cheering on their teammates at the junior basketball game are Donna Todd and Karla Alexander. 18 • Academics rn Karla Alexander Linda Brown Pamela Brown Robert Brown Jr. Paulette Brownfield Robert C.

'Active' STUCO Places Second at Contest Student Council took on a new motto as the “Active Student Council. Living up to the new title they were involved in many new activities. Ecology Week, a year long project aimed to alert students of their responsibilities to keep the campus clean. Other activities STUCO was involved in include: bulletin boards, birthday cards to teach- ers, flowers and cards to hospi- talized students and of course the daily announcements with president Clay Kennedy starting each morning off with an encouraging Good Morning Pi- retts. A small refrigerator for the lounge was a surprise pres- ent from STUCO to the faculty. STUCO brought spirit to the Homecoming activities in a dif- ferent way. The eve of the Home- coming game a car bash and mascot burn were introduced along with the traditional pep rally. Imitation daiquiri, Shirley Temples, and suicides became popular “drinks” at the Pirate Cove Disco. To show that hard work really does pay off, the active Stu- dent Council proudly took a sec- ond place in the Regional out- standing Student Council Con- test. Competing with 65 schools, class B-AAAA, STUCO accumu- lated points for their various workshops, projects, associa- tions, and conventions. (a) Lester Kitten and Becky Houston look on as Jeff Pinkerton and Terry Gaines prepare the lights for the Pirate Cove dance. STUCO 25 NHS Honor Is Key to Society Leadership, character, service, scholarship and the 85 grade point average were the qualities consid- ered when selecting junior and sen- ior students for NHS. Membership was strong indication of the stu- dent’s character and was motiva- tion for consistent academic achievement and service to the school. The fall group was the largest number ever inducted in the Cooper Chapter. The old members tapped twenty seven junior and senior students. Eight dozen donuts, four dozen cokes and forty six robes were rounded up before third period tap- ping ceremonies. Old members lined up single file and went to vari- ous class rooms tapping new induc- tees. Afterwards, members went to the science lab for refreshments. The year's activities included co- sponsoring the UIL meet with STUCO, in which members ran errands, worked in the cafeteria, and typed up results. The annual car wash and end-of-the-year picnic at Wagner Park finished out NHS activities. Induction of two members was held in the spring. This was the smallest amount ever inducted in the society.

The year- book staff received second place in state wide AA schools compe tition. Kayla Jones, Steve Pay- ton, Lisa Scott, and Brenda Stone won eight individual awards, more than any other school of any size in the state. On the newspaper staff, Lynette Martin won second on sports photograph and Clay Kennedy won third on an illustration. The newspaper staff strived to publish more feature articles on current issues such as drugs and alcohol. Problems such as financing, trying to sell ads every week, and ruined film, were only a few that arose throughout the year. Daily tasks of editor Kar- nella Alexander and staff con- sisted of planning pages for the monthly “Anchor, ad collect- ing, pasting-up layouts, and developing pictures. Skills required for annual staff mem- bers included organization, research, writing, and photogra- phy. The ten member staff slaved'’ intently to meet each deadline because of the large amount of pages each member was assigned. Details of num- bering, lettering, and cropping pictures, tic marks, and correct- ing typing errors challenged each member’s patience until the final deadline. Both staffs sponsored movies as a fund- raising project. (a) Annual sponsor, Patti Payton answers one of the many questions from staff members, (b) Senior Veronica Reed joined the staff after Christmas to assist the staff with miscellaneous tasks, (c) Candy Spratlen and Renee Flournoy work diligently cropping pictures and typing rough drafts. Annual • 29 FFA Ag Projects Leave No Time Fairs, stockshows, and con- tests left little time for FFA mem- bers to breath. Crop fairs were held at South Plains and Cooper. Citrus fruit sales and sausages became the money-making pro- ject. FFA members attended five stockshows, all the way from Dallas to Houston. Four individu- als placed from Breeder Cham- pion to First Place. With one-hundred and four members, FFA was able to organize seven different judging teams. They were: Livestock team which placed second at San Angelo; Dairy Cattle — first at West Texas State; Meats team; Land team — second at Texas Tech; Wool team — first at District; Cotton team — third at District. The Mechanics team placed first at South Plains Co- op Contest and at District. Steve Payton was high point of the Welding contest. The FFA banquet awards were given for: Star Greenhand — Lynn Smith, Star Chapter Farmer — Cliff Heinrich, Outstanding Leadership — Burt Heinrich, Ag Mechanics — James Dunnum, Swine Production — Kyle Vin- son, Sheep Production — Victor Gonzales, Cotton Production — Steve Payton.

This was heard often as the newest club started taking shape. Mr. James Gordon coined the name from Greek letters and words. Thus Cooper science club was born and christened Chi Sigma Chi. The club had various activities including the thought for the day.” Each week a member was selected to read a clever saying or quote at the end of the announcements each morning. For their first money making project Chi Sigma Chi sold jumbo Cooper Pirate pens. The pens were a different item around school and sold quickly. Chi Sigma Chi meetings dealt mainly with science. A presenta- tion by a microbiologist from Texas Tech proved interesting and educational. He explained the different types of bacteria and left samples for students to study. Blood Services of Lub- bock conducted a tour for mem- bers of science club. Members were introduced to the purposes of donated blood and witnessed blood being donated.

Lisa Scott was elected Area I President for 1978-1979. Theresa Williams ran for Area 5th vice president and Holly Vardeman ran for state officer. Brenda Stone and Tammy Dyess worked on and presented the workshop Teen-age Pregnancy. FHA members and other stu- dents helped prepare registra- tion packets for over 200 schools. Experiencing a decrease in size did not hamper the FHA activities. Projects included scheduled programs open to everyone, and beginning a fund to replace curtains in the audito- rium. In a very sophisticated atmos- phere, Robin Paxton and Wayne Bonner were named “sweetest couple” at the “Touch of Class” Sweetheart Banquet. Sponsors Vicki Skipworth and Nancy How- ard received gifts of special appreciation. Young Homemakers, mothers, and members met on April 18 for installation of the 1978-1979 officers, naming of the Little Sis- ter, salad supper and a style show. Chosen from Jr. and Sr. members on the basis of FHA, school, and community involve- ment, Theresa Williams was named Little Sister. Teachers were served refresh- ments as part of National FHA week. For their various accom- plishments throughout the year, seven girls were chosen to attend the state meeting in Dal- las. (a) Presidents Holly Vardeman and Karen Bednarz chat with Colonel Bobby R.

Hays, M. Oats. SECOND ROW: K. Alexander, R. Flournoy (head). New Marching Routine,Flags Add Color “Did you get your shoes?” “What shoes? “Are we on the right bus?” “Whose pants are these?” “I hope you got your hat before we left.” This was a small part of the confusion band mem- bers experienced while loading the bus for out of town games and contests. Marching resembled walking more, as Dee Elrod, band direc- tor, changed the routine from 8:5 to 8:6. Band members were then taught to walk, using big steps, instead of the usual marching where the knees are brought up high on each step. Marching contest was held at Jones Stadium. The band received a division II rating while the twirlers had a division I plac- ing, which qualified them for state. In preparation for an upcom- ing U.I.L. meet, band went to Six Flags. Fun and relaxation were a major part of the activities, but Mr. Elrod found time for the band to practice also. Red, white, and black flags added a new flare to the band. These flags were carried by the cheerleaders during each band routine. To bring the year to a close, band held their banquet at the Villa Inn. The twirlers recognized each other with appreciation pla- ques and trophies. Mr. Elrod awarded an outstanding bands- man from each grade. They were: Senior — Windy Harrison, Junior — Curtis Bednarz, Soph- omore — Windy Rainy, and Freshman — Randy Christo- pher. Band members voted Cinda Ethridge over all bands- man. Beau and Sweetheart were Brad Hays and Stacy Freden- burg.

DECA's biggest money-mak- ing project each year is the Tom Wat Sales Campaign. 22 stu- dents sold over a hundred dol- lars worth of merchandise. Grossing over $8,000 total, the club netted about thirty per-cent. The funds were used throughout the year for such things as con- test trips, providing Christmas for a needy family, the Employer Appreciation Breakfast, and equipment for the classroom. Eleven DECA students attended the Area Leadership Conference at Amarillo Jr. Col- lege. Four of these brought home first places. Among those were Patsy Hernandez and Buddy Rogers for research man- ual, Brenda Mote — apparel and accessories, and Susan Craddick — program cover design. These first place winners advanced to state competition in San Antonio later in March. To end the year, DECA held the Employer’s Appreciation Banquet in the school cafeteria on April 13.

Section Editor Lisa Scott Sports • 49 � • Absolute pandemonium broke loose as students and fans poured onto the field in wild hys- teria to offer congratulations and shed tears. One student said of the 15-7 victory over Ralls, ‘By the way we acted you'd think we'd just won district. After 19 losses in the two previous sea- sons, this win unleashed the almost forgotten thrill of victory. Following the game, a victory line of 30 cars paraded through the community, ringing the vic- tory bell. This night sparked off what we thought was going to be a successful season. Although not successful, we did, at last, experience the sweet smell of victory. This proved to be a very 'thought' ful season, full of new thoughts and experiences — two wins, chanting 'party hardy', disappointment, everyone con- verging at Brittany, Pirate T- shirts, and a closeness among the student body.

Offsetting the disappointment over no further victories was the announcement of four Senior players receiving All-District and All South Plains honors.

When asked about the J.V. season. Coach Jackie Shoults said, “The kids gave a lot of effort. We hit on defense, but we didn’t play offense.” Freshman Coach Larry Langerhans replied They worked hard most of the season, not giving up trying to win.

TO —I m 7 c i to Seniors Settle Seventh Grade Score In 1972 the seventh groade girls basketball team was defeated by Roosevelt 2-54. Five years later, with the sev- enth graders now seniors, the tables turned and Cooper defeated the heavily favored Roosevelt 55-54. With seven- teen seconds left, Roosevelt missed at the free throw line, Cooper got the rebound, took it downcourt, and Suzy Smith made the winning basket as the buzzer sounded. The New Deal game proved to be just as excit- ing as they, too, were beaten by one point. Before this Cooper victory, New Deal had been undefeated. Cooper went on to beat Frenship 43-41. Frenship had been undefeated in the second half of district play and the Cooper victory knocked them from second place stand- ing in district. The team ended the season with a win over Post 46-35. Over all, the girls went 14 16 as a season total of wins and losses and in district play they went half and half with a 5- 5 record. The team beat everyone in the district once with the excep- tion of Slaton. They scored a total of 1,213 points with Suzy Smith averaging 15 points a game and Martha Brantley averaging 12 points a game. At the end of the season two team members were voted with all- district honors.

Seniors Experience Disappointing Season •We didn’t have a very good sea son, but we all worked hard. At the end of the season we started playing better and I feel if we had started the season the way we ended it, we would’ve won a lot more.’’ With these words. Tommy Brooks summed up the season for the boys varsity team. In the first game of the season. Cooper edged past Ralls in a 57-55 victory. This game ignited high hopes for the season, with disappointing results. All victories for the season were nondistrict, leaving them O il for the district record. They did, how ever, emerge victorious in key games throughout the season. The Pirates played for champion- ship in the Roosevelt tournament after beating Olton 49 32, but lost the title to Lorenzo. Another disappoint ing loss came at the Olton tourna ment. After traveling to Olton through the worst sand storm of the year, the Pirates lost the game against Hart by one point. With 10 seconds left. Cooper got off a shot, missed the bas ket, fumbled the rebound, and was unable to shoot again before the buz- zer sounded. The Pirates met more disappointment when they fought out two close bouts with Denver City, but were unable to emerge victorious both times. The peak of the season came when Cooper beat Abernathy 61 58. The boys wanted this victory badly because the Antelopes had defeated them 58 75 earlier in the season. Dwayne Pounds said of the victory, ‘We showed we had ability by beating Abernathy who went on to win their district title. The last game of the season, the Pirates scored the most points in a single game for the season against Frenship. Cooper lost 90 115, but team members, although disap pointed, felt everyone had a good game. Post season honors were awarded to Senior Terry Gaines and Junior Dwayne Pounds, both being named Honorable Mention All District. Jimmy Tucker earned the title of sea son high point scorer by averaging 10 points a game and scoring 259 points fora season total.

The Freshman team showed outstanding ability by winning first place in the Cooper Tour- nament, and second place in the Frenship and Shallowater tournaments. The Junior Varsity team won second place in the Cooper tournament and brought home consolation from the Slaton tournament. The most exciting game of the season for the Junior Varsity team came when they beat Slaton 29-28. Team captain Brenda Stone said, Beating Slaton gave us a great feeling of accomplishment.

They also won consolation bracket in the New Deal Tournament. Jeff Terry and Rex Kennedy were high point scorers for the team which ended the season with a 2 11 record. The Junior Varsity team enjoyed a 13-10 season, winning two tournament tro- phies. They placed second in the Cooper tournament behind Dunbar. Because of Dunbar’s undisputable superiority, fans and players relaxed to enjoy the friendly championship game. Steve Payton said of the game, We knew we couldn't beat those giants, but that didn't stop us from having a lot of tun anyway! The J.V. team also won consolation in the Slaton tournament.

With six competitors and a lot of hopes and ambitions, they traveled to the state track meet in Aus tin for the second time in their two years at Cooper. The team participated in six track meets during the season. The first meet was at Farwell where Judy Bar nett broke the school record in high jump with a jump of 4’10 . Candy Spratlen and Suzy Smith matched that record at the Olton meet. The team members’ endurance was tried when they participated in back to back meets. Returning from Tulia at 12:00 p.m. Friday night, the girls were up at 6:00 a.m. the next morning for a meet at Lorenzo. Even with their early morning waking, the team placed sec- ond in the meet. During spring break, the girls trav- eled 400 miles to Burkburnett. Cmda Ethridge went to the finals in the 440 dash with the best time and Spratlen placed third in the 880 dash. At the District meet. Cooper won sec ond place in the overall competition. The mile relay consisting of April Graves, Cinda Ethridge, Julie Robert son, and Kayla Jones won first place. Jones placed first in the 880 dash with Candy Spratlen right behind her for second place. Graves placed second in the 440 dash and Spratlen also won second in the high jump. Another sec ond place title was earned by the 880 relay, run by Graves, Robertson, Ehlo, and Jones. Sprint Relay, consisting of Brenda Stone, Nancy Ehlo, Lynette Martin, and Suzy Smith, placed third. The first and second place winners went on to compete at the Regional meet at Texas Tech University. The mile relay gave an outstanding per formance by running their best time for the entire season. They placed first with a time of 4.04.67. Jones placed first in the 880 .dash with a time of 2.21.77. These first place wins insured the tracksters a place in the State com petition.

Three set new records, with one break ing his own record twice. Cooper s lone representative at the regional track meet at Texas Tech was James Dunnam, who won first place in every meet through district. Dunnam captured the district title with a time of 1:58.7. He went on to place third at the regional meet, setting a new school record of 1:58.1. Rodney Warlick placed third in the discus at district throwing 137'1 . He missed his chance at regional competi- tion by a mere two inches. Warlick did, however, set a new school record ear- lier in the season in the discus. In a back-to-back meet he won first place at the Lorenzo track meet after throwing his second best distance and winning first the night before at Tulia. His record throw was 145'5 . Jimmy Tucker, sprint relay member and hurdler, set a new school record in the 120 high hurdles at the very first meet. He then broke his own record twice the following two meets, finally setting the school record at 15.8 sec onds. Mile relay members were David Mar tinez, Mike Siler, Brad Hays, and Dun nam. They won second at Tulia, with a time of 3:34.0. They placed third at Farwell and Lorenzo, and bested their time at district with 3:33.6, their best time for the season.

Yet sen tors often found themselves caught in the midst of things. Within a two week span in May, caps and gowns and invitations were delivered and final papers were due in class. Par- ties and teas were given in honor of grad uating seniors and there were always rel- atives to visit and thank you notes to send during what parents tried to con vince their children was a special time” in their lives. When the evening of graduation arrived seniors hurriedly found parking places in Lubbock Civic Center parking lot and rushed inside the huge complex to find classmates. For the first time in Cooper history, graduation was held off campus. Seniors worried about which side of the hat the tassle went on, finding their place in line and putting their hat on straight. As some tried to memorize the proce- dure (shake with right, take diploma with left), speeches came and went. Once in a while a phrase or two would catch some one's attention, like We can conquer the world and Work is an expression of love.” The awarding of diplomas was by school board President Clifford Robert son, and tassles were changed by Super intendent Harold Carpenter. Speeches were given by Valedictorian Karen Tate, Salutatonan David Collins, and Historian Terry Gaines. When the long wait was over and every senior had his diploma in hand, the crowd of 75 bright red figures became jubilant, applauding and cheering their own graduation that evening. With the final singing of the school song, seniors could finally realize an end — no more preparation, no more wait mg. It was time to begin another round, to be “caught in midst of things once again. (a) Clifford Robertson awards Lynette Martin her diploma, (b) Seniors solemnly sit through graduation exercise.

The eighth grade ended the season winning two of the fifteen games played by defeating Post and Roosevelt. Coach George Guevara com- mented about the eighth grade boys’ speed and ability to work well together. He also believes in years to come their height will become a great asset to the team. High scorer for the eighth grade was Steven Ward with 122 points out of the 383 scored. Greg Tabor was high scorer for the seventh grade with 188 out of the 357 points totaled. The seventh grade started the sea- son well winning the first four games they played. At the end of the season however, only a 5-9 record was accomplished. (a) After an mbounds pass.

The construction of the new high school wing and the field house necessitated parking by the tennis courts, and walking around to the front door. Awards and elections filled the spring with speeches and poster-filled halls. Senior’s time was filled with card swapping and memory- book signing. Chemistry stu- dents strived to finish their seven chapters and spent night hours doing creative work. Between state one-act play, track meets, FHA conventions, and FFA judging trips, teachers rarely had a full class during the spring. Teams fared well in spring academic competition. Drama placed second and several FFA teams ranked sec- ond. VOCT stood high at the first state conference. For the first time in Cooper history, gradua- tion was held off campus. Cere- monies for the 75 graduating seniors were held at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center.
