Classes at times may seem tiresome and tedious be- cause of all the hard wor we put into them. Yet, how do w try to enjoy ourselves through al that? An occasional spit balll flying across the room alwayi breaks the ' seriousness ' of Spanish! II class, said Jessica Wacker, sophomore, as she explained one of the many secrets of a happy classroom student. Many times, however, it is not the students who make the initiative, but the teachers. Mrs. KosubS dances across the room to get your attention, said Linda Conley, senior. This makes a subject more bearable to take; it even makes it more enjoyable. With friends and teachers there to help through the sometimes humdrumness of a class period, work is never really dull. Juniors Kim .Johnson, Neal Keiley with Seniors Fame Spencer and Greg Weiner and Brandi Blackwell, Fred Weber and Bo- die Miller, juniors, try to concentrate on fliving a clear correct and yet serious an- swer to Kristi Kneupper. junior, who acts as the computer typist for the group in the Knowledge Master Open national comput- er contest. 86 ACADEMICS

eadep Of The Pack School Board members are: Alton Williams, John Brown, Lucille Matthews, JoAnn Weber, Supt. George Bujnoch, Ben Twidwell, Stan Reese, and not pictured, M.F. Slim Hinton. Leaders of the pack were the staff and faculty. Many changes took place this year, but the School Board, principal, faculty and staff were able to pull it off and make it a record year. The Texas Teacher Appraisal System kept Mr. Kosub and Mr. Gerdes, principals, busy much of the year. Each man had to observe all junior high and high school teachers twice per year for at least 45 minutes per visit. After they completed the observations, they wrote evaluation forms used for rehiring and career ladder place- ment for each teacher. The forms usually took 45 minutes to com- plete after each evaluation. Mrs. Mary Carter, attendance clerk, felt another significant event was the hiring of a new su- perintendent, Mr. George Buj- noch. In the spring another major change was th e hiring of a new athletic director. Bob Pyssen. In the spring longtime School Board member, Frank Watson, decided not to run and Mrs. Lu- cille Matthews was elected in his place. The prolonged oil slump and declining tax base encouraged the board to keep close tabs on expen- ditures. The inability of the Texas Legislature to come up with school funding bills during the spring session also kept the board concerned. In May, Gov. Bill Cle- ments told the Legislature to come back during the summer for a special session. At Aquila dead- line, no state funding for the 1987- 88 school year had been passed. 88 ACADEMICS
