CNAN N . . . 979 PtRATB Lubbock — Coopto t€D Roufo6 Boy 400 Lubbock , Teyos Opening 1 With the changing of the sea- sons, attitudes and emotions of individuals change and rear- range. Each year is uniquely different, even though the structure of the school system remains the same. This past year was one in which students, faculty, and administrators united to build and boost schol- arship, leadership, and school spirit. In this year we grew and matured and established a strong foundation on which our future will be based. As the people changed, our surround- ings changed likewise. Machin- ery and construction men worked busily to complete the many additions to our school. The year was also constructed socially, educationally, physi- cally. and spiritually. Overall, we knew that this year was out- standing. Everyone who was a part of CHS had an acute awareness of the satisfactions and fulfillments this year brought with it. As we prog- ressed from fall to spring, our lives changed and rearranged, like the changing of the sea- sons: September saw the beginning of school with new hopes and challenging goals. The brisk weather hosted football games and days at the fair. An early Homecoming meant hasty preparation for mum sales and dance decorations. October was filled with sor- row and great loss. As tragedy struck several families, the stu- dent body pulled together as one to offer strength and sup- port to those in need. November brought with it the beginning of basketball season, marching contest, and the long- awaited Thanksgiving holiday.

Student Council sponsored the annual canned food drive and a SCORE week to educate the school on birth defects. January rang in the new year and the coldest weather of the season. Students trudged through the mud to the annex, anxiously awaiting the comple- tion of the new wing. February brought the tradi- tional nervousness of girls who got their chance to ask the guys to the FHA banquet. Drama and FHA presented a dinner theater, a different kind of entertainment for our commu- nity. March blew in with U.f.L. competition and track season. Spring break offered relief from academic pressures, and the end of school was suddenly in sight. April meant work for Seniors as they began preparing for graduation. Campaign posters covered the halls as organiza- tions held their officer elec- tions. Several classes held fund-raising activities which included tennis shoes sales and a faculty-student basketball game. May was full of end-of- school activities which cli- maxed with graduation. Upper- classmen anxiously awaited the Junior-Senior Banquet. The immediate future was deter- mined for most underclassmen — things would be much the same as before. The seniors looked ahead with anticipation to the uncertain future of col- lege. careers, and adulthood. Interests were not confined only to school activities, but broadened to state and national affairs. Texas elected a Repub- lican governor for the first time in over one hundred years.

Opening 5 Two blockbuster teams emerged from Texas as major contenders in the National Football League: the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Oil- ers. These political and athletic achievements focused nation- wide attention on Texas. How- ever, changes were also taking place within our nation and the world. Fads and fashions moved fast, hut this year with few’ exceptions the fads had a famil- iar form. Rollerskating and skateboarding, which went out years ago. came rolling back again. And what about toga parties? Weren’t they buried along with Julius Caesar? Dis- cotheques are somehow always in. but this year, disco fever reached gigantic proportions. Fashions turned back to straight-legged pants, spiked heels, vests, and narrow ties. Despite predictions that the running fad was out of breath, runners around the w-orld showed no signs of fatigue. Many new faces became overnight successes because they offfered a refreshing vital- ity that had been lacking the past few years. T.V.’s newest, oddest couple was Mork and Mindy. The big screen was dominated by Hollywood’s gol- den boy. John Travolta. His hit movie “Grease was the top- grossing picture of the year. Steve Martin, that wild and crazy guy became an authen- tic cult hero of the 70s. John Belushi transferred Saturday Night Live” T.V. crudities to the grubby 60’s fraternity row life of “National Lampoon’s Ani- mal House. Belushi became the nation’s favorite slob and toga party guest. Cheryl Tiegs, the all-American cover girl, established that a woman could pass 30 without being con- signed to beauty’s boneyard.

King Tut didn't exactly come back to life, but he definitely had his sleep disturbed. Tuts treasures dazz- led museum-goers around the country. In a world accustomed to adversity, there were certain stories that just wouldn’t quit. As we read these stories, we gained an understanding of the impact they had on our lives. From the inner sanctum of the Vatican to the confines of Camp David, the headliners captured our attention in a tur- bulent year. Anwar Sadat and Manecham Begin! embraced in the White House at the end of a remarkable summit, and later shared the Nobel Peace Prize. After his election, the reign of Pope Paul I was cut short with his untimely death after only 33 days in office. His successor. Pope John Paul II, the first non- Italian Pope since the Renais- sance. was a tremendous sur- prise. This year witnessed extreme life and death situa- tions; from the birth of the first test-tube baby, to a mass mur- der in Guyana and the worst air crash in U.S. history. These events helped shape the history of our lives. The individuality of these people and events gave this year a per- sonality all its own. We recog- nized the many changes which took place around us. but even more, the changes which took place within each of us. Each day we exchanged time for another tomorrow’, looking ahead with anticipation and uncertainty; for. like the sea- sons, our lives are forever “changing. . .” (a) Transforming into the tooth fairy for drama initiation.

They introduced a new flare for cooking by preparing foreign foods. Homemaking II stu- dents engaged in the tradi- tional cooking and sewing activities. Homemaking I students held a panel discus- sion on dating. Students planned weddings for several different income groups as a major Home and Family Living Project. Along with display and budgeting, special areas of study for DE and PEL stu- dents included career selec- tion and job interview. Answering the switch- board and picking up absen- tees were the main jobs of the student office workers. CVAE students studied subjects including attitude, budgeting, cabinet building, and safety. The Vocational Adjust- ment Class is an individual- ized program in academic studies and job preparation. Taking care of livestock and learning farm mechanics were projects of Ag students.

Randy Hanfeld took a seri- ous side in teaching his Biol- ogy students. He was very earnest and willing to help his students excel. Celia Mikell used oral dis- cussions in her classes. After reading or going over hand- outs, students were asked questions about what they had read. Coach White conducted his “must pass” government class in a boisterous and fri- sky manner. Coach Mebane used the method of reading, answer- ing questions, and taking tests, in teaching his Health classes. Feisty Mary Wilson proved that just because she was small, didn’t mean she gave small or easy assign- ments. Ms. Goodwin approached teaching with humor. Prov- ing most “bizarre were Ms. Goodwin’s Cosmic purple pen and her blue tennis shoes. Teachers add “class to their class with their individ- ual teaching styles.

Freshmen began with reading Romeo and Juliet and saw it performed at Tech. Julius Ceasar was studied through work sheets by Sophomores. Seniors tackled Hamlet by films, character sketches, and essays culminating in view- ing the play on video. Jun- iors, who studied American literature, concentrated on their Junior themes. This year brought a renewed emphasis on gram- mar throughout the classes. The school’s paper supply quickly dwindled as study sheets were run-off daily. Questions were constantly being raised about the cor- rect usage of words. Is it can or may , “I or me , them or “those ? Verbs, pronouns, and adverbs were corrected orally, frustrating teachers and students alike. The Spanish class approached learning in a new way by playing games such as Monopoly, Bingo, and Scrabble using the Spanish language. Projects included making Ojos and pihatas.

Stu- dents were taught amend- ments. articles, in addition to what they mean, and the cir- cumstances which brought them about. Tears of sadness were shed as classes watched the rise and fall of Martin Luther King Jr.'s career on the video tape television. This touch- ing portrayal showed stu- dents that all men are cre- ated equal with rights that should be respected, but are often cast aside. The last quarter of school, students entered Economics. They learned about budgets, management, and the high cost of living. Math problems were applied to real life situations in order to promote a better understanding of basic equa- tions. Students were posed with the problem of solving the nuclear accident. Closer to home, questions such as how much it cost to run a two watt clock for one month. The answer, by the way, is SI.16.

Academics 19 While students were learn- ing the basics of science in Physical Science classes, the chemistry students were mixing chemicals, memoriz- ing equations, and trying to keep up with each other. James Gordon, chemistry teacher, decided to again use the self-paced approach to chemistry teaching. Students taught themselves and those around them by working on their own. out of chemistry books. New biology teacher. Randy Hanfeld. attempted to catch Biology I students' attention with worms and butterflies to dissect. Mean- while. his Biology II stu- dents. all eight of them, worked diligently on their fetal pigs memorizing mus- cles. arteries, and veins. Mr. Hanfeld took Biology II stu- dents back to his old stomp- ing grounds, the Biology Department at Tech, for a tour. Health students planned such things as personal hygiene, the heart, and men- tal problems. Speakers were present to talk to students on alcohol and drugs.

The library was used for many purposes: a television room for video tape pro- grams. a study hall for last minute preparations, and a lunchroom. English teachers and librarian Sara Simpson introduced the lunch bunch presentation. Each week a speaker would lecture on topics from exercising at the YMCA to buying motorcy- cles. Students and faculty were encouraged to bring a sack lunch to munch during the noon gatherings. The library was often used not only as a study hall for lessons, but also as a class- room. During the winter months some of the radiators in the room of the annex wing refused to generate heat: therefore, the library was used as a makeshift classroom. Mrs. Simpson ordered new books to add to the shelves and students were always lounging around by the magazine racks, reading the newspa- per or current issues of mag- azines.

They started with a tootsie roll candy sale netting the club S950 profit. Part of the money was donated to the PASF. PanAmerican Student Forum, projects which included La Buena Madre Cue Orphanage. Pesos for Braces, and the Myrtly L. Tanner Scholarship. Our own Cathy Perez won the state-wide competition for the scholarship. During December, the club held a Posada, a play sur- rounding the birth of Christ, at school which was fol- lowed by a Christmas party. At the party, the club had a Mexican dinner and then a series of games were played. Ten members out of twenty-seven went to the PASF convention in San Antonio. Each student and sponsor was required to attend meetings and work- shops. Some of the students went to the Grand Bade, which was sponsored by the PASF. the last night spent there. Eight members of the Spanish Club went to the National Spanish Exams at Texas Tech, and six mem- bers of the club walked in the March of Dimes Walk-a- thon. Highlighting the club’s activities was the play Pan- cho” shown at Tech. (a) Spanish Club: Front: Cathy Perez — pres. Back Row: Victor Gonzales — vice pres.. Debbie Gonzales — sec..

Pfoates FUulct ' Chest’ ’ When asked what their goals had been for the 78-79 school year. Mrs. Pam Brown, the Treasure Chest advisor, quickly replied. To get the news to the school while it’s still hot! The Treasure Chest staff strove to publish a weekly newspaper — and suc- ceeded. In fact, the inexperi- enced newspaper staff pub- lished their first paper the first week of school, which was only a three day week. For this reason, the staff called themselves the Not Ready for Publication Play- ers. Being a completely inexpe- rienced staff, there were some problems, like getting the final typed copy ready each week. However. Mrs. Brown said it was a very good year, and she had an excellent staff. (a) Randall Motzenbocker. Tommy Brooks.

What you did for your audience is what the drama business is all about ... I love to feel, to respond emotionally to a play, but it so seldom happens. It definitely did with your production ... this quote is taken from a note sent to the Dandelion Wine cast from Pat Stuart, drama director of Boy’s Ranch. The note stated so perfectly the feelings felt by the audience of. not only Dandelion Wine, but of all the Cooper High School produc- tions. Three different productions were given for the entertainment of Cooper audiences.

The first play included all drama members. The play, In One Basket was a series of fairy tales appealing to all of those young at heart. The melodrama Labors of Love was put into production for the first annual Cooper Dinner Theatre, combin- ing singing talents and acting abilities. Capping off the year was the powerful One-Act Contest play, Dandelion Wine. The cast made a fantastic sweep over district and area contests with the warm narrative story of one summer in the life of 12 year old Douglas Spalding.

Two-a-days and after school workouts demon- strated the dedication and high expectations of the players and coaches. Although the fruits of their labors did not show up on the scoreboard, the play- ers gained experience as the desire to win increased with each passing week. The height of the season occurred when a united Cooper School triumphed over the Morton Indians in the first homecoming victory in four years. The crowd felt optimistic as Dwayne Pounds completed a 19 yard pass to Brad Hays in the end zone making the score 13-6 in the third quarter. A tight defensive bat- tle continued until early in the fourth quarter when Brondo Mosely broke loose after a pass from Dwayne Pounds which resulted in a 95 yard touchdown play. The score was now 13-12. still in favor of the Morton Indians. The question was whether to go for the extra point or the two-point conversion. The Pirate fans were tense as the offensive unit returned to the field to try for the two-point conversion. The decision proved to be successful as Dwayne Pounds ran in for the two points which put the Pirates through to hold the Indians scoreless the remainder of the game. Tears, excitement, and the sense of achievement were only a few of the emo- tions released as the Pirate fans poured onto the field to congratulate the play- ers on their stupendous victory. Although the players and fans had high hopes for the season, the Pirates were winless. The season was not a total disappoint- ment. Four Pirates received the honor of being named All-District Honorable Mention. Seniors Bryce Daniel for tight end. Dwayne Pounds for defensive end. and Juniors Chris Garcia for wingback and John Salas for guard. It's struggling on with the will to win. And taking defeat with a cheerful grin.

This year was a turning point for some of the players because they began to show pride. commented JV Coach Jerry Tucker.

The lady Pirates experienced the thrill of victory this season. Their dis- trict record was 10-4 and their overall record was 21-9. The unity so many players cited resulted in a second place district title which was shared with the Frenship Tigerettes. The season was a new experience for the coach as well as the players. This was Lynn Davis' first year to coach. She came to Cooper from West Texas State University with many new ideas on basketball techniques, drills, and ball handling. With the exception of a few players, height was one of the weak points of the team. They overcame this weakness by concentrating mainly on defense. When asked her opinion on the season. Junior Martha Brantley stated. “I thought this year was the best I have had. Everyone was more confident. We aimed toward our team goal instead of individual goals. Team effort seemd to be a key factor in the winning season. As a team they scored a total of 1.514 points. Shara Fre- denburg scored a total of 360 points and Martha Brantley, a total of 264 points for the season. To add to their district success the lady Pirates placed second in the Roosevelt Tournament and Fourth in the Olton Tournament. Three players were presented with honors.

Everyone, with the exception of the Regional track qualifiers, began diligently working to improve their basketball abilities for the coming season. Off-season plays an important part in preparing for the regular season. This is a time when the girls develop their fundamental skills. |ust a few of the favorite drills are: mass defense, ball han- dling. one-on-one. and the trian- gle drill. The team is once again concentrating on defense because of lack of height. Although we do work very hard, we have fun. Not only are we learning a great deal, we are enjoying it.

There were several games we should have won but didn't because we just blew our cool.” replied Senior Steve Payton. Although Post was the only district win. there were many close scores throughout the remaining games. In the Roosevelt tournament, the Pirates were narrowly defeated by Dunbar by a slim margin of four points. This season provided an oppor- tunity for underclassmen to gain experience on the Varsity level. Among the underclassmen who contributed to Varsity competition were Andy Sparkmen and Shawn Sampley. Workouts concentrated on ball handling and new forms of condi- tioning. including the dreaded 30- second Drill . Leading the Pirates in scoring was Steve Payton with a total of 344 points and an average of 16 points a game. He also received the honor of being named All-District.

The only district game defeat was with Slaton. Slaton won by 7 points at their first meeting. The second confrontation was a close battle with Slaton nosing the Pirates out by 1 point. The girls also did extremely well in tourna- ments by placing first in Seminoie, second in Cooper, and third in the Slaton tourney. Misty Oats ranked high- est in scoring with a total of 213 points. She was fol- lowed by Delois Evans with 188 points. The Freshman girls ended the season with a district record of 4-5.

The girls worked diligently during and after school. Their devotion proved to be an asset in the district meet. Overall the team placed third with a total of 60 points. The 880 relay, con- sisting of Nancy Ehlo, Stacy Adams, Misty Oats, and Kayla Jones won third place. Also placing third were Regina Ethridge in the hurdles and Marcella Ethridge in the mile run.

There were many young and enthusiastic mem- bers who participated in several different events. Most of these tracksters were involved in off-season foot- ball workouts the last period of the day and then track workouts immediately fol- lowing. This type of stamina is summed up best by this comment from track coach Jerry Jones. ‘‘1 consider that the track people have more heart and determination than anyone else at school.” The outstanding trackster on the team was Brady Tip- ton. He received the boy’s track award and was high point man on the team. He also set a record in the 330 intermediate hurdles at Sun- down. Greg Perez did an out- standing job in the 100 yd. dash at Sundown. He had the fastest time in the 100 from anyone at Cooper. The mile relay consisting of Blake Dunn. Dwayne Pounds.

Not only was a new weight room built, but a whole new foundation is being laid for next year’s hoped-for success. The coaches are concentrating on strength, quickness, and speed. Building strength is the main concern because of last year's weakness. The coaches are seeing many improvements. There is much enthusiasm among the athletes. They are working hard, and coaches are satisfied with what they have seen thus far. Three days a week the players work on agility, and the other two are focused on conditioning. They do drills such as toughness drills, wrestling, and fighting for sticks . Teams are designated in some drills and they compete against each other. The coaches feel this competition will help the athletes to develop a sense of pride; and in the words of Coach Boyd. It toughens them up. I think the football boys have come a long way. They are twice as good now. as when we started. I feel we have a much better chance next year. We will cer- tainly be more competitive. This comment from Coach Tommy Boyd signifies the positive atmosphere being felt in the athletic department. (a) The 200 lb. Club: Lester Kitten. Chris Garcia. Scott Egert, and Brondo Mosely.

They tried to be a council which the student body could respect, and to provide a forum for the student body’s suggestions. The Student Council spon- sored two traditional money- making projects — selling car- nations on Valentine’s Day and selling weekly newspapers. Another traditional, but non- profitable project was a Gong Show. Several dress up days were held including 6th grade initiation, Halloween Dress Up Day. 50’s Day. and Sadie Haw- kins Day. Teacher and student cooper- ation played a big part in the council's success. They felt that everyone participated well and had lots of fun together. The STUCO hoped to provide a foundation for next year’s council. (a) Representatives are: Back Row: C. Jackson. H. McCaghey. D. Buxkemper. K. Curry, and B. Cobb. Front Row: G. Scale. J.

Junior High • 123 BulMtog fcwtke Futute Mr. Dennis was exception- ally impressed with the VOCT boys this year. “I am very proud of these young men. This is the first time any chapter out of our area has won all of the leadership contests.” Students worked very hard getting ready for the area and state meets. Although many hours were spent practicing speeches and reviewing club meeting proce- dures these boys also endeav- ored in other activities. They finished bricking the VOCT building, built test tube holders for the high school lab and repaired tools in the workshop.

VOCT, CVAE, and DECA State Conventions, One-Act Play. FFA judging trips, and track meets, teachers and even students complained of never having class. James Kirkpatrick traveled to the National DECA competition in Houston where he placed in the top eight in the nation in Petroleum competi- tion. In retrospect, however, the hectic pace of end of school caught up with students as the going got hot in May. Parties, huge amounts of homework and make-up work, addressing late-arriving graduation announcements, campaigning for various offices, and a cer- tain amount of mischief were packed into each day, making them fly by. Big changes were ahead for Seniors, but their impatience was temporarily satisfied the last week of school as they became preoccupied with Senior tests, signing mem- ory books, reminiscing, and the Prom. Finally, their last teary- eyed good-byes were exchanged after tassles were turned and diplomas were received on May 27 at the Civic Center. Elsewhere in Texas. Wichita Falls was victim to one of the worst tornados in Texas his- tory. 20,000 people were left homeless as they began the ten year chore of rebuilding their city. The tornado was recog- nized as a national disaster. Nationwide, administration leaders were beginning to pre- pare the country for grimmer economic days ahead. Supplies were down, partially due to a decrease in Iranian exports; therefore, gas increased at a yearly rate of 56.5 percent, the fastest since the summer of 1975.

Even stu- dents experienced the weight of inflation. Lunch tickets jumped up to 70 cents and cokes reached an all-time high of 40 cents. Nuclear protests became stirred by the near catastrophe at Three Mile Island. Oppo- nents of nuclear power began to build a national movement in hopes that it would decrease the nation’s commitment to nuclear energy. Many prote- stors were concerned with atomic waste disposal, a prob- lem to which West Texans could relate as disposal sites were being explored in the South Plains and New Mexico area. Movies depicted society’s concern for war and its effects through ‘‘The Deer Hunter” and ‘‘Coming Home.” Others like “The Champ,” which proved to be a campus favorite, stirred the viewers’ emotions with sen- timentality. The songs “Reunited” and “Heart of Glass were heard frequently on campus. When all was said and done, it was a year to remember because students and teachers experienced many changes in their lives; changes which will affect the future, but never rearrange the past as it was cre- ated. With the sounding of the last bell, a very special part of life ended for everyone at Cooper. But the future would prove to be as full of rewards and experiences, for it too would be full of “Changing. Rearranging. . (a) Reshelving books takes its toll on library aide J. C. Beesinger.
