Who? Him! Him, who? You know, him! Oh, yea, him. You know him, too? Yea, he ' s everywhere! Everywhere? Yea, doesn ' t he sit next to you in EngHsh? Wait a minute! That was him at the game Friday. Remember, we saw him at the party Saturday night after the NHS Banquet. Yea, but what ' s his name? I just can ' t call it. I just wish I knew who he was. I see him all the time, but I never get a real good look at him. Well, I guess it ' s like he ' s a face in the crowd. Walking the halls from day to day, students encountered many faces, yet never stopped to think about them. What made each face so special? In order to answer this question, we have searched the halls and the crowds trying to capture what made each of us so different. Each face was unique. The faces may not be one of a class presi- dent, but they held the votes to support him. Instead of initiating chain and bakes sales, they gave money to keep having them. And, maybe not being able to perform as an athlete, they cheered the team on to victory. Each was, in his own way, a supporter, a contributor, an individual. But remember, people were not always happy, so they were not always smiling. Some were shocked, others amazed, some were even disappointed. In this book, we attempted to involve as many individuals as possi- ble to depict how the people in MacArthur High School operated as an unit. Watch out! You could be that important entity— THE FACE IN THE CROWD! introduction phoio by Sang Yi table of contents ©(Dm ©m( Ana Martinez p jofo by Marry Colon Joe Strubhar pAoro by Ed Holmes James Harljp ioro by Marty Colon Rachel Fish p joro by Marly Colon Carolyn Lambngnt p joro by Ed Holmes Student Life Academics Classes Organizations Athletics Page 6 Page 80 Page 114 Page 216 Page 216 Thumbing through the book, Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors will be found.

Mike Lohu photo by Pal Sulhvan Friendship Page 78 A student ' s life began in the morning when he woke up for the first day of school. He became one face in a vast crowd of people — yet shone as an original. He was always running into decisions, such as who to ask to Homecoming, page 14 who to boogie with at the Dances, page 18 postponing homework by talking on the Telephones, page 34 how to stretch the time during Weekends, page 38 and how to preserve times past and present with Friendship, page 78 Involvement Complimentsj Students ' Total Education! Todd Davis All will agree, even students, that the main purpose of school is to get an educa- tion. Education, however, does not come from just lectures, homework, tests, and textbooks. Learning hides itself in many forms on the high school level- involvement being just one of them. And how, one might ask, does a person learn from being involved? Space on this page does not allow full coverage of this question. However, a brief exploration of the subject is offered. First of all, on the athletic field, young men and women who are involved in their particular sport have the opportunity of learning a multitude of things not covered in any textbook. They learn to think quick- ly and act. They learn strategy planning and problem solving. They learn to work as a member of a team and not just as an individual. And, they learn coordination and how to use their body effectively- training it to work for them. What has been said concerning athletes also holds true for members of the drill team and the cheerleading squad, as well as for the Big Mac Keepers. They practice, discipline themselves, budget time, and set priorities as a part of their involvement. Involvement, of course, occurs in other areas of the school and just as much educa- tion is being absorbed as it is in athletics, cheerleading, drill team, and Big Mac Keepers. In the band hall (really, music hall because choir is right next door), students are being taught how and when to hit the right notes by using their instrument or voice correctly. That ' s all they do, one might say. Wrong! They learn to follow direction— knowing if they don ' t, a mistake could be made that would make the entire group sound bad. In marching band, the group learns about precision and timing. Both groups also have the opportunity of working as a whole, with little emphasis upon the individual. Further down the same hall the Little Theater houses the Speech and Drama Department. Thinking on one ' s feet and learning to be at ease while appearing in front of an audience are the areas of strength offered by involvement in the courses taught. In addition, students find that performing is just part of the perfor- mance ritual. Long oefore they set foot on the stage, sets must be built, costumes must be gathered, lighting must be engineered, and the sound has to be planned. These are no easy tasks and require much research, thought, and recalling those things learn- ed in class. Other areas of involvement would be found in yearbook and newspaper, ROTC. photography, journalism production. Stu- dent Council, and the various clubs throughout the school. The list, of course, could be continued, but is too long to com- plete along with the learning that could be achieved through the association. Involvement takes time. In many in- stances, the student who is involved in an extra-curricular or co-curricular activity spends more time in that activity than at the books. That does not mean to say that studies are neglected— they are often com- plimented by the time spent and the effort expended. And. where does a student find the time when he must spread himself between family, studies, and other responsibilities? Here is, indeed, another learning area, sub- tle as it might be. The involved person must learn about priorities— doing first things first. Problem solving is also nestl- ed into this zone as well as decision making. The student who has a test on Tuesday drill team or band practice on Thursdaj; night, and a full work day in yearbook or Saturday— with mom ' s birthday squeezec in on Wednesday— is forced to budget time. Too much for one young personii Maybe! That person has the opportunityj however, of learning how much he car, handle and handle well. | Who are these people— these people whc are involved? They are often easil) recognizable. Look for the person who com tinually has a camera hanging around his neck or a girl carrying pom poms with hei books or an individual wearing a lettei jacket or a guy walking out the drama room wearing make-up or the girl with a whistle around her neck or the guy with bruises and abrasions. Another way ot determining whether or not a person is ini volved is the amount of time that person stays home and the amount of frustration that parent suffers from the absense. Involvement also carries a few dangers— lack of sleep, little or no personal! time, and, for those who become too in volved, failure to complete a taski whatever it might be. On the other hand, these people who become involved, even those who attempt too much, have the op: portunity of being better prepared for the future. They have more than likely met with the frustrations of having to rely on other peoi pie and being either pleased or disapi pointed, they have been forced to cope with schedule problems and how to rear range the schedule to meet the deadline, and they have judged just how far theyi push before they reach limitations. These people have had the chance to meet with success and deal with failure. They have a insight to what faces them in college and or career. The situations they have i I involvement I confronted will be familiar— just the faces and places will change. School is for learning. Textbooks, lec- tures, tests, and homework are important. However, the areas that revolve around jthese zones are just as important and can be just as productive in developing the students ' overall education. In fact, it would not be wrong to state that they are necessary to the person ' s growth, well- ibeing, and personal sense of accomplishment. Success is what it ' s all about! And, in- volvement offers the best chance to find it. Getting involved in band got a person involved in the school because people associated band with school It was aJso a great way to make a Jot of friends and get accepted. Phil Jones, Senior photo by Erik Gottleib Beginning their pom pom routine to the Alma Mater, Varsity Cheerleaders Beckey Phillips, Jana Wickham, Angela Ellard, Kristina Weisbruch, Libby Schnee, and Denise Ballenger wear and carry symbols of their involvement. Cutting out a stencil for the Senior Class Arts and Crafts Fair, Sung Han found that school was more than studying and tests. Clutching a fast ball, Varsity Catcher Chris Prawdzik spent Tuesday and Friday nights behind the plate, which, for most athletes, left homework for the late hours. involvement 9 Hi-Ho,pii-Ho; It s Off t Work QlTe Go! Paper was swept, mashed potatoes were served, and parking money was taken for Mac to run smoothly. Darin Anderson Did you drive a car? Did you buy lunch in the cafeteria? Were you an athlete with a locker in the Field House? Did you ever just wonder who the people were who helped to keep MacArthur running smoothly? The credit must be given to the custodians, the ladies who worked in the cafeterias, and the lady who collected your daily parking fees. The custodians, under the direction of Jack Dutton, kept the school looking great. Paul Duncan, in his seventh year as a custo- dian, was well-known among the athletes and other students who spent time in the Field House after school. Everyone around the Field House knew me. Since -we were friends, they seemed to help me more than make my job harder, remarked Duncan. Standing in line to buy lunch could be a long and frustrating experience, but the ladies who ran the cash registers understood this and did their best to get us through the lines quickly. One such cashier, Ann Pualet- ti, who ran the cash register in the North Cafeteria Snack Bar, said she enjoyed see- ing the students everyday. Mary Capps monitored the student park- ing lot for the past five years, rain or shine, from 8:30 am until 4 pm. She not only col- lected parking fees , but also watched and guarded the cars against theft and van- dalism. Junior Angela Tidwell relayed, I felt sorry for her having to be out in the rain and cold, but I was glad to know that she was out there watching out for our cars.

Students battle burnout. f you studied and nderstood your omework, tests ime as no surprise. ' ' Amy Richardson, Junior photo by Jennifer Lindsey Kathy Sergeant Once upon a time in the land of MacAr- thur, many a young student was plagued by a severe case of school burnout. Between homework and tests, a restless soccer player felt stifled and trapped. Con- stantly banging his feet against the chair in front of him, he scored thousands of im- aginary goals. Across a room filled with similar private wars a girl sat motionless, gazing into an open textbook. Suddenly, all were forced back to reality with many others by the sound of an hourly bell. Tests un- finished and homework temporarily disregarded, the students dreamily wandered to their respective classes. This scene portrayed the true and untold burden of homework and tests. The year proved to be a constant battle for the average student ' s angel of conscience, as he spent time enhancing the rewards of high aspirations. The urge to run from responsibility both grew and diminished as the year approach- ed its end. I was dying to get out and begin the summer ' s good times, remembered an eager Jonna Matus. So the realm of MacArthur successfully produced young ones who would attempt to conquer the narrow path laden with homework, studying, tests, and continuing education. .. jutifeii ' c , Above Left: Freshman Niles Romano struggles under the load of the day ' s assignments ashe makes his way to the student parking otJphoto by Scott Collins Above Center: Sacrificing her lunch time.

Sandra Clutts Class officers and school supporters used their spare time to help prepare for Homecoming as well as to study for six weeks tests during Homecoming Week. A-Mac in America , the homecoming theme, kept students and sponsors of all classes busy as they worked for what seem- ed like endless mornings and afternoons to finish their respective wall decorations for judging. Freshmen students ' time and hard work won the contest for the third con- secutive year. Freshman Paige Chatham commented, I enjoyed creating the wall because it was fun. I could not believe we won.

Miller, and Julie Pryor beat a catchy cadence, setting a pace for the parade. p ?ofo by Ed Holmes Spirit chain sales, to raise money for each class, boosted competitive spirits among students as the Sophomores pulled through with first place, earning close to $400. During lunch Thursday, the band ' s drum corps performed mini-pep rallies in the cafeterias. That night, laughter, cheering, and chants roared as the twentieth annual bonfire took place in the student parking lot. Khris Germany, along with other members of the football team, put the torch to the pile of wood and rubbish. Shawna Rackley com- mented, The bonfire helped boost students ' and football players ' spirits for the game and for homecoming festivities. Clubs, Cheerleaders, Class Officers, Homecoming Princesses, and the queen can- didates tossed candy to spectators as they rode in Friday ' s parade. The Cardettes, band, and ROTC marched along the same route the parade has taken for the past several years. homecoming 15 Tlfle Rain in Irvin S Came Mainly on th Field! Protected by an umbrella. Senior Beckey Phillips was crowned Homecoming Queen during halftime. Jeff Faeth Rain dampened the ground, but not the spirit, of the 1986 homecoming festivities. Despite the soggy field, MacArthur pound- ed the DeSoto Eagles in a 27-0 shutout. At halftime the Senior Cardettes, with wet, but colorful mums intact, performed the 21 year old traditional cane routine to There ' s No Business Like Show Business. Other activities highlighted halftime as foot- ball captains, cheerleaders, and Big Mac Keepers from the Class of ' 66 presented a statue of Douglas A. MacArthur to Principal Paul Burke, commemorating the twentieth anniversary of varsity athletics at MacArthur. Halftime also saw the crowning of 1986 Homecoming Royalty. Beckey Phillips reigned as queen, while her court of nominees consisted of Seniors Katherine Bongfeldt, Libby Schnee, and Monica Whitney. This year ' s Princesses included Lanita Wilkerson from the Junior Class, Shanna Sebastian representing the Sophomores, and Freshman Heidi Hellinghausen. By the third quarter of the game, rain caused most fans to empty the stands. After the decisive victory, some couples attended a dance sponsored by the Student Council. For the first time, couples had the oppor- tunity to purchase Homecoming pictures at the dance. The event included a wide varie- ty of musical selections by the band. Blue Rumour. Other couples ventured to various Metroplex restaurants.

Susan Besze Dance Fever} Just as this television boogie contest fell off the prime time airways, the fever for school dances likewise cooled off, but the use of these events as fund raisers remained contagious. Start with one money-hungry organiza- tion. Take a free Friday night and then pro- duce some diverse tunes agreeable with many tastes in music. Add a few lively record spinners and a week ' s worth of wacky announcements. A dance is born. Booster Club was first on the dance scene, sponsoring an event for all participating in their summer membership blitz. The Senior Class won the fund raising free-for-all, bring- ing in $1780 to use towards a May prom. Stu- dent Council raised $1283 from their dance. National Honor Society took advantage of the Cardinals ' playoff appearance and held a victory dance after the defeat of Trinity. Tradition prompted the Homecoming Dance, which proved a welcome respite from the soggy evening. Couples also ven- tured out to a Valentine ' s Day affair. I made the announcements different so people would really want to come to the dance, explained Derek Welch. The school also hired live bands, such as Blue Rumor to help the lack of attendance. I think peo- ple stopped coming to the dances because they just got boring. That is why we hired the live band, stated Vice Principal Francene Maulding.

Lor I Hunt Students from every class, teachers, guest speakers, band members, Cardettes, cheerleaders, and Big Mac Keepers all gathered at 3 pm in the Field House for pep rallies every Friday for 12 weeks. They screamed, chanted, and cheered. Traditionally, classes competed for the spirit stick. Trying to out do the other classes was the highlight of all pep rallies, remarked Sophomore Sandi Dixon. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors each competed with their own style. Freshmen showed their enthusiasm through spray painted jeans, shirts, and numerous signs. Sophomores chose Earnest, the spokesperson for Braum ' s, to represent their spirit. Juniors adopted the title of Pep Boys. Seniors displayed painted jeans, masks, and Supercard Shirts. Cheerleaders and Big MacKeepers arous- ed school spirit as they led the students in catchy cheers. Cardettes added a moment of entertainment by performing various routines to the beat of the band. The last pep rally before state playoffs belonged to the Seniors. The Senior Cardet- tes performed, while Varsity Cheerleaders and Big Mac Keepers presented a skit en- titled, Heaven in ' 87 to the song Memories . Being called to the floor, Seniors stood in a circle for the annual Senior Ring. Senior Big Mac Keeper Katherine Bongfeldt led the singing of the Alma Mater, while the Senior Class linked arms and joined in. Above LEft: All decked out in spirit gear Keith Williams.

Jana Wickham Whether attention getters, or followers of the crowd, students competed to flaunt the most recent styles. With the opening of the Hard Rock Cafe in Dallas, students appeared right and left sporting the restaurant ' s T-shirts andsweat- shirts. Corona Beach Club and Spuds McKenzie T-shirts became popular as well. Some students owned more pairs of shoes than any other article of clothing. Boots, high-tops, Reeboks, and sandals kept Car- dinals in the latest footwear. Freshman Cin- dy Harwell commented, My red high-tops were my favorite pair of shoes. I wore them when I was in a crazy mood or when I was bored with my regular style of dressing. Forenza, Esprit, and Generra surfaced as expensive, but sought after, lines for the young prep. As for yuppies, alligators and polo players were slightly less dominant on apparel, but plaid definitely prevailed. Plaid representative Jon Vera remarked, My bright plaid pants probably amused some. but I also got compliments. Stirrup pants, overalls, stonewash jeans, and pegged, or rolled up, jeans emerged as favorites among the high school group. The infamous Guess triangle took form on jeans, jackets, and overalls. Those who chose to break through the triangle of spiffy threads relaxed at school in sweats. Adventure seekers chose to create their own styles instead of going with the flow. Sophomore Marc Lewis invented his own line of generic T-shirts, taking plain white shirts and spashing expressions of creativi- ty on them with black paint. Senior James Liebbe made his fashion statement with the word Person printed across his image with white pants and black combat boots.

Marion Jarrell Students heard plenty of announcements about them, posters were seen in the halls commanding attendance or else , but did anyone really know what to expect upon entering the auditorium to view a drama production? The year ' s plays took on a different look as a new concept for seating took the form of theater in the round. Members of the au- dience were arranged informally on the stage. We felt this would help the crowd become better involved with the play ' s plot. It proved to be very successful, explained John Money. God ' s Favorite was the first presentation of the year. Matt Darr, the messenger from heaven, and Derek Welch, playing Joe, handled the lead spots. I was not real big on Neil Simon, the author, but this play was lots of fun, explained Welch. The Man Who Came to Dinner, a com- edy set in the 1940 ' s was the second produc- tion. The plot revolved around a can- tankerous celebrity who attends a dinner party, has an accident, and must remain with his hosts during his recuperation. And, Beloved Betrayer was performed as competition for UIL. Seven students were in the cast. Of those, Scott Ballant, Barbara Lewis, and Eric Jensen received Honorable Mention, while Amy Pratter was awarded membership in the All Star Cast. Practice and competition paid off, not as well as we hoped, but we did our best and had fun.

At school we ' re col lecting canned goods for needy families in Irving, and besides I can get extra credit. This scene occured throughout the MacAr- thur district during the holiday season. CHIMES (Christmas Helps in Making Everyone Santa) has helped bring in gifts and goods to needy families ever since the program began. This year ' s response to the project surpassed that of previous years. CHIMES was a group effort, as the entire school participated. Each class and club had their own style in the collection of cans.

This eventually paid off when the judging took place. Gilchrist ' s homeroom stole the show by not only win- ning the quantity competition, but also the most decorative box contest. A Coke party rewarded the class for all their hard work. Likewise, the band pooled their resources, overcoming the domination by the Latin Club ' s previous years. Several trips to Sam ' s Wholesale Club aided the musicians in win- ning first place. Latin Club Sponsor Ann Price elaborated, It ' s the spirit of CHIMES that counts, not who wins or loses. Irving Jaycees, in conjunction with the Na- tional Honor Society, organized the event for the three Irving high schools. The results were great this year, stated Troy Grumbine, President of NHS. The Christmas spirit sure did affect our student body this year. I hope it continues to in- crease and help throughout the community. chimes 27 Right: Mike Steen stocks in some jeans at the Merry-Go-Round in the Irvmg MaUJphoto by Carolyn Muir Above Left: After football season.

' jwik Greg Pletz Jobs were as diverse as the people themselves, ranging from Summer Morris at Southern Maid Donuts to Traci CrisafuUi at Centerpoint Athletic Club. Clark Solomon sold leather goods for Cardat Leather, Tad Johnson and Julie Vitacca worked for Dillards ' , and Leslie Shackleford, Shannon Lane, and Tonya Eldridge all worked in the food court. Splitting time between school and a job was not easy for these and other students. Finding the time to do homework posed a great problem. Not getting home until late made it difficult for me to get my homework done on time, and done right, reflected Leslie Brown, who worked at Sally ' s Hallmark. Some students were allowed to do homework while working. Solomon remarked, Many times I found myself alone in the store waiting for a customer, so I started taking my homework with me and getting it done. Students used this earned money tor car payments, car maintenance, clothes, dates, school expenses, and college. Dan Shaughnessy, who worked at Kinney Shoes, commented, Most of my money was used for keeping my car running and going out on the weekends. Many students worked full-time during the summer.Sam Dabbous worked at The Egyptian Restaurant during the summer to earn money for college. I can ' t say work- ing in the summer was the greatest, but it let me concentrate on my school work dur- ing the year.

Jordan Post If it was worth getting off school for, it was worth celebrating. Whatever the holiday, time away from school proved a welcome respite for students. Undoubtedly the majority of students would like to have left their homework tuck- ed in folders during breaks from the usual rush of assignments, but the unlucky ones had reports or projects to finish. Some were able to visit their relatives, which sometimes meant a trip over the river and through the woods . . . When ask- ed about these outings, Freshman Mike Zorovich expressed, It could be fun ... for a while. Grandparents or no, students often travel- ed during the holidays. Some teenagers went skiing during Christmas instead of spending traditional time with the family. Junior Jill Herman, who went on the Younglife ski trip, commented, It was fun being with my friends for part of the Christmas holiday, and I got back in time to spend Christmas Eve with my family. Spring Break, school vacation turned sacred holiday for teen life, proved one of the most looked forward to and joyous times of the school year. This break was not just a chance to sleep late and goof-off for a week, but it also meant a chance to party at home or at the beach (Fort Lauderdale, Padre Island, etc.). Senior Sean Oldham, who went to Fort Lauderdale, remembered, Bikinis on beautifully tanned women for as far as I could see. It was great. Spring Break was a time for fun and total relaxation wherever a student ended up.

Todd Davis Continuing a 15 year tradition, students gave needy children a Christmas they will never forget. The day before Christmas vacation, homerooms gave underprivileged children from J.O. Schultz and John Haley Elementary Schools a Christmas party, showering them with much attention and many gifts. Similar to other years, the Student Coun- cil project was a success, explained the organization ' s president, Doug Weisbruch. He added, It ' s a wonder the happiness that can be produced when everyone pitches in just a few dollars. Most homerooms aimed for a goal between $65 and $85.

This list included a brief descripton of the child, as well as sugges- tions for possible gifts, the child ' s clothing sizes, and other family needs. Then it was off to the stores, where homeroom represen- tatives took on the task of playing Santa. Junior Allison White shopped for her homeroom child and reported that she real- ly enjoyed it, Shopping was fun becuase it made you feel good about helping the child. It was also exciting to choose what you would want if you were a little kid. That Friday, unsuspecting children crowded the cafeteria enroute to the parties given in their honor. Hallways were tran- formed into speedway as the kids too advan- tage of the opportunity to test out their new big wheels, bicycles, and various other toys. Clark Solomon summed the whole day up by saying, It ' s a good idea for a school with a little more, to give happiness to kids with a little less. ' ' Dear Mrs. Salter ' i Class: I love my toyi and clothes. Coatwil keep me warm. I had fun at the Christmai party.

Andrea Jackson, Junior ' And, that makes me nadr Brett Munro, Senior photo by Brett Munro Amy Richardson For some, dating proved to be a complex game between guy and girl, challenging both mind and emotion, while for others it was nothing more than lighthearted relation- ship. From either point of vievv ' , the age old pastime remained a number-one source of growth and enjoyment for students. Girls loved spending time with that special guy and guys looked for the chance to be alone with that awesome girl. Junior Lisa Stretch expressed, It was really neat to be able to get away from all the parties and everything to spend time alone with so- meone special to you. Another aspect of dating the girls shared was going out on Dutch dates. Guys loved the idea of going out and having separate checks, but girls did not think so highly of it. Junior Mickey Sinayi said, Going out on Dutch dates could be fun, but it was always a lot more fun if it was not your money be- ing spent. Agreeing with her. Junior Heather Stammberger relayed, Guys were the ones who should pay for the date. It was their idea to go out in the first place. Girls, in general, viewed dating as a serious approach to getting close to that cute guy who possessed all the qualities she ever dreamed about in a guy. Girls defined dating as two people seeing only each other. Boys used the word more loosely and in a dif- ferent context. Freshman Joe Gattis stated, Dating wasn ' t anything serious. It just meant you were taking a girl out. Junior Sara Harvey argued, Dating meant more than just plans on Friday or Saturday night. It meant two individuals caring only about each other.

Without anymore hesitation, students hurried along their separate ways. Weekends were made for relaxing. Do whatever you wanted as long as you enjoyed yourself, remarked Senior Denise Ballenger.Irving Mall supplied jobs for many of them, while others spent their time engag- ed in school activities. Favorite Saturday evening spots con- tmued traditional outings and introduced several new ones.

The Latin Club kicked the academic year off with a Get Acquainted Party. Breakfasts were regularly scheduled by both the Drama and Latin Clubs. Younglife organized a par- ty where a $20 gift certificate was given to the least recognizable person in costume. Meanwhile, a Latin Club party was thrown with the traditional Halloween customs. December was a hectic month due to par- ties planned to celebrate the holidays. Younglife members began the season with a pizza party at Crystal ' s. I liked the Christmas parties most, especially Project Child because it gave me the feeling I had accomplished a really good deed, explain- ed Sharla Derden. High on Life accented the beginning of the new year with a film festival in January, while the Latin Club started 1987 with an ice skating adventure. Also, students celebrated the survival of another school week with personal parties. On lonely weekends, all kinds of people met at, often parentless, parties to gossip and meet new people. They served as a great social get-together, although the fun was often spoiled by the arriving of the police. Without parties to look forward to on weekends, I don ' t think I could have surviv- ed the school days, exclaimed Casey Patrick.

The dining out events were normally held at holidays or at the end of the year. Mary Wells Possibly one of the greatest motivators for humans has always proved to be food. Possibly one of the greatest anticipations for humans has always proved to be the eating of food. Possibly one of the greatest incen- tives for humans has always proved to be fine dining. So, possibly the most enjoyable event for any organization during a school year has always proved to be its banquet. Kicking off the banquet season, the Na- tional Honor Society held their traditional Christmas fest at the stately Belo Mansion. Though the meal itself left something to be desired, members danced on into the night with music provided by graduate Chris Ratcliff. President Troy Grumbine com- mented, The rain and the food put a slight damper on the evening, but everyone seem- ed to enjoy themselves anyway. Opting for some less familiar surroun- dings, the Cardettes held their dinner at the Marriott Hotel. After the meal, award presentations were made, and a reminiscent slide show was viewed. Cardette Christy Anderson remarked, I really had a blast. We all had kept our fingers crossed on the Marriott. No one wanted to get dressed up and then only go to the cafeteria. Feelings seemed to be different with the football players as their banquet was held in the South Cafeteria. After a meal of barbeque, a -professional slide show and mock video was presented by the seniors. Players and their dates appeared to be great- ly impressed by the entire evening.

Lon Hunt Students with different attitudes and blood types united to share the gift of Ufe with others during the Student Council sponsored blood drive. The event raised over 76 pints for the Wadley Blood Bank. Some 98 semi-nervous students signed up to donate blood., but due to low weight and or inadequate iron supply, only 80 students actually contributed. The Blood Drive was restricted to 17 year olds with a release form signed by a parent or 18 year olds without a consent form. For donors weighing in between 100 and 110 pounds, a minimal amount of 540 milligrams of blood was extracted. Those over 110 pounds, safely gave a full unit of 1080 milligrams. Senior Rusty Benton ex- pressed, Donating blood made me feel as though I was giving others a chance to live. Minds were distracted from thoughts of giving blood by cheers from the cheerleaders, music, and moral support from friends. Having my friends there made the time pass faster and that helped when the needle was in my arm, commented Senior Cheryl Sloat. Elizabeth Post, Shannon Or- man, Susan Besze, and Laurie Olson, along with a few others, fainted from the sudden decrease in blood flow. After recuperating with some juice and crackers, students vic- toriously walked awav.

I ' ll remember this particular wrestling match because the number of seniors equalled the number of fans. Regardless, it was an exciting event and I ' m glad I went, commented Stephanie Mullin. Posting signs and making daily an- nouncements drew publicity to MacArthur ' s Field House on April 9. We were suppose to put signs out all around town and tell as many people about it so attendance would be profitable, explained Beckey Phillips. Strutting from all corners of the Field House, heroes and villains approached the ring ready to duel. To maintain order, foot- ball players were assigned to escort the wrestlers to and from the ring. Being an escort was fun, but I didn ' t expect to get pop- ped in the face by Tony Atlas, remarked Terry Burnette. Kevin Von Erich made an unexpected ap- pearance, wrestling for his cousin, Lance, against Al Madril. Spike Hubert and Jeff Raitz competed against Tom Lane and Mike David in the tag team match. To tie up the evening, individuals Tony Atlas, Black Bart, Steve Simpson, and Eric Embrey competed for titles. Seniors brought in $900 through conces- sions and ticket and ad sales. We made money, but not as much as expected. This will probably be the last year for the World Class Wrestling Matches at MacArthur unless wrestling ' s popularity increases, commented Ladewig.

Remarked Frank Conselman, It was better than I expected, but the bands got old, fast. Behind the scenes, Jim Jarrell and Steve Mayhew operated the lighting, while Brian Wish worked on sound. Rachel Fish and Katie Guererro maintained the curtains. Students paid $4 at the door, and nearly filled the auditorium.

Lunch brought relief to the hunger pains. Running to the cafeteria for food was an everyday occurence, relayed Junior Debbie Coleman.

People-toPeopIe, made up of students selected by interview and resume, enabled an elite group to represent their school, ci- ty, and country overseas. Australia and New Zealand was the site selected for the 1987 tour. Sponsor Patsy Parrish remarked, People-to-People offered not only an un- forgettable trip, but a chance to develop an understanding of other cultures. After liv- ing with a family for a week, these people really became ' your family ' . You never heard the news without taking a personal interest in a country ' s events because they affected ' your family ' . English Teacher Janet Arterbury spon- sored a small group of students on a skiing trip to Innsbruk, Austria. Teddye Privitt, Dorothy Caldwell, James Liebbe, David Pfaff, and Carmen Forge were those who ac- companied Arterbury on the venture. Pfaff described, The scenery was unbelievable and the skiing was excellent. Not all! the time was spent on the slopes, the group also toured Munich, Germany, and Salzburg, Austria.

Abe Kucaj In the midst of a spring deluge of senior activities, a play appeared on the agenda. What was predicted to be a rushed produc- tion came through with flying colors— pink in particular. Paint the Town Pink, presented by the Seniors of 1987, proved to be a tremendous success. The cast of 29 actors and actresses were composed of not only seniors, as in previous years, but also included teachers. Jason Lowe and Katherine Bongfeldt portrayed the lead characters of Rem and Christy, while faculty members Fred Kempter, Pam Meredity, and Anna Kirkland also assumed Above Left: Wise guy Doug Weisbruch attempts to cheer up a disheartened P.K.

Written by Anne Coulter Martens and directed by Senior Sponsor Annette Wallace, the crowd-pleasing comedy brought in $2800 in only a two night run. The play was really funny, and I enjoyed watching the teachers act, remarked Sari- di Dixon. Shirts advertising the play, first worn only by the cast, also added to the senior treasury. Set in 1957, the play revolved around the events at Miansfield High School one day when teachers and students reversed roles. The cast rehearsed until 6 pm a month before the performances, but increased this time to 10 pm for a week before opening. It went off better than we expected because in rehearsal it looked pretty shabby, stated Bongfeldt. Lisa Appel, Kathy Rahn, and Carolyn Muir assistend with the lighting. James Liebbe worked the sound. senior play 57 Breakfast Begins End Seniors gather at Las Colinas for early meal. Jana Wickham The generation of breakfast skippers took time out to enjoy the annual Senior Breakfast sponsored by the PTA on Friday, May 8. THe Class of ' 87 began its pre-graduation activites by gathering for an early morning meal at Las Colinas Country Club. Besides the much enoyed privilege of being official- ly excused from first period, seniors dined on a buffet-style breakfast of fruit, biscuits, Danish pastry, and juice. Each student was Above Left: Blake Edwards takes a sip of juice photo by Jason Walkins Above Center: Clif- ford C ' ark pauses to speak to one of fiis classmates. pAo(o by Jason Walkins Above Right: Ed Holmes watcfies Katherine Payne add cream to her coffee. p iolo by Jason Walkins given a red ribbon to wear as a momento. Seeing everyone dressed up, being all together, and having a good time really made the breakfast fun, remarked Beckey Phillips. Several students concentrated more on taking pictures and socializing than eating — trying to capture those last moments before graduation would permanently separate them. From 7:30 to 9:30 am the seniors discussed future activities and past memories. Kaki Field added, I thought it was nice for the PTA to give us the breakfast before we graduated and go our separate ways. The PTA has sponsored the event for several years. They raised the money through various projects and charged the graduating seniors only 50 cents. SUipping school and being able to eat breakfast, too? I had tc be doing something right.

Sandra Clutts The weather threatened to turn the All School Picnic into a bleak, cloudy, rainy day, but by noon the sun blazed down on bodies ready for Wet ' n Wild action. On May 23, students, tagged with white wristbands, entered Wet ' n Wild Water Park eligible for free food and drinks furnished by the Booster Club. Wet ' n Wild provided a covered area for students to rest and meet with friends during the day. The Lazy River, wave pool, rapids, and fast moving slides were offered to the fun seekers. Girls basked in the hot sun or walk- ed around the park checking out the scene, while the guys took a challenge on the Das Stuka or Kamakazi Slides. Wet ' n Wild offered raft rentals, a gift shop, game room, and food stands, but riding the slides and listening to recorded music proved to be more popular. Early in the afternoon students gathered among other spectators to witness a young girl having oxygen administered after she struggled to keep from drowning in one of the park ' s smaller pools. Paramedics took the conscious girl away to a nearby hospital. Shawna Rackley commented, I felt really sorry for the little girl. She looked so small and helpless lying on the side of the pool. Despite somewhat humid conditions, Booster Club members beat the heat work- ing concessions to serve up drinks, chips, and over 900 hot dogs to the hungry students. Most of those who attended agreed that $7 was a small price to pay for the end of school celebrat ion. Above Left: Cathy Smith takes a break from swim- ming to have some refreshments.

Greg Pletz, Eric Olson, and Cristina Absalon With tickets in hand and attire perfected, the couples approached the entrance. The only thing separating them from the even- ing ahead was the tug of a parking ticket to raise the gate. Like jockeys, the chauffeurs went over last minute game plans, while ant- sy teens primped for the night yet to be. A night which had evolved from several months of planning and preparation. A night to be remembered— SENIOR PROM! Students began arriving at the East Hyatt D FW Airport Hotel around 6 pm in everything from rented Ferraris, Rolls Royces, and $500 a night limousines to the family car. The couples were dressed in elaborate formal gowns and colorful rented tuxedos. I rented a limo so Laurie and I could show up in class, remarked Jason Sturdy. Following a dinner comprised of salads, seafood gumbo, chicken, roast beef. vegetables, and dessert, the Senior Walk enabled students to be recognized with their dates. The dance began as the walk was completed, although many chose to try their luck with free chips in the casino. At the close of the evening, the senior with the most chips won the right to first choice at the prize table. With the awarding of the last prize and the closing of the casino games, seniors parted ways to celebrate at various parties being held throughout the Metroplex. Steven Mayhew relayed, The late date for the Prom was set so students would be more interested in school. It was our intention, as officers, to keep senior momentum going un- til the last possible moment.

At age 16, car fever climb- ed to a dangerous level. Darin Anderson Do you remember life B.C. (before cars)? No insurance, no repair work, no hassel with a mechanical beast that seemed to suck your wallet dry— and no independence. Life B.C. was, as one might say, carefree and cheap, but extremely dull. Then one reached high school age, where without a car, life seemingly ceased to exist. Fifteen- year-olds opted to fill their afternoons with yet another class, keeping Sears Driving School doing a booming business. As a Freshman, one did not worry much about getting a car, but as a Sophomore, it became an obsession. Some, however, ac- quired a car upon turning 16 because of mom and dad ' s generosity. Others went slowly, but surely, about buying wheels with hard earned money. Besides being a status symbol, the automobile also gave students a feeling of independence. He or she did not have to de- pend on mom and the station wagon, stated Junior Scott Hallmark. The worst thing about owning an automobile was having to buy gas to keep it running, expressed Senior David Cart- wright. Maintenance and insurance ex- penses were not enough to dissuade teenagers from creating personal trademarks. From Kathy Zamarano ' s Green Gargoyle to Greg Hotchkiss ' stately slate Mercedes, students made the best of their means of transportation. Junior Dorothy Caldwell summed up, When it came down to it, the paint job could wait, but the freedom couldn ' t. Above Left: With hopes of getting a car on her six- theenth birthday.

Jordan Post Repressed energy needed to be released. Towards the end of the year it happened. Classes became rowdier, students ' com- plaints of homework grew, finals were close— Spring Fever Week was closer. Here was a chance to express some spirit cind entertain the many minds supressed with seemingly endless studies. Kicking off the 1987 Spring Fever Week, teens trimmed their grass skirts and reviv- ed their flowered shirts for Hawaiian Mon- day. Starting this day ' s lunchtime festivities, students cast their ballots for the Pie-in-the- Face Contest. Using pennies as votes, anyone could deposit money for the person of their choice. The person whose bag con- tained the most money on Thursday receiv- ed a lemon pie in the face. Also on that first day slave sales began. Throughout the week students were offered a chance to buy their friends or put them up for acution. With the prospective slave standing on a chair, fellow lunchmates bid in order to obtain freedom from taking their trash and also to save a few other tables from the hassle. Tuesday brought College T-Shirt Day. Class Spirit Day was Wednesday when seniors wore red; juniors, green; sophomores, blue; and freshman, black. Thursday was Slob Day, with Friday being Dress-Up Day. Allison White, Scott Patton, Leslie Shackleford, Gary Tyner, Jade Lamb, and Keith Shoemake got the lemon pies in their face on Thursday.

While 131 Seniors earned Presidential Academic Fitness Awards, others were given medals for proving themselves as the most valuable player on their team. In volleyball, Krisla Patty slammed her way to MVP, while Toby Richardson won the prize in football. Susan Taylor ran the distance to receive the medal in cross country, and Amy Richardson and Chris Tatum made their way to the top in track. Basketball ' s Tiger Baker and Cheryl Sloat hooped their way to MVP, and wrestler Brad Knouse pinned down the honor for himself. Derek Ozymy and Jeannie Hartman were rewarded for their efforts in soccer, while Clint Davis pitched for MVP in baseball. Stroking his way to the top, Alan Wood was given MVP in golf as Leslie Moss and Jim Lapp received it in tennis. Swim- ming ' s Sean Oldham and Michelle Earle captured the title in their sport. Scholarships for athletic excellence were presented to Debbie Cober from Montana State University in the amount of $36,000. Jason Lowe received $13,184 from the University of Texas in El Paso. Cheryl Sloat was awarded $1 100 from Sam Houston State University. Bill Woods and Toby Richard- son both took education money from Texas Christian University.

Kathy Sergeant Q: What could possibly convince over 2000 students to cram themselves into a hot gym for two hours. A: Very little! But a little recognition goes a long way, and hundreds of recognition-hungry students patiently fanned themselves with certificates of merit during the 1986-1987 Awards Assembly. Although stifling field house temperatures gave the scene a somewhat wilted look, smiles remained as fresh as ever. One of the biggest and the best belonged to Senior Doug Weisbruch, who happily trotted off with several awards. Upon receiving the ti- tle of Mr. School Spirit, Weisbruch remark- ed, It was a great feeling to be rewarded for just being yourself. I will miss the warm responses of people at MacArthur. Emceed by Publications Advisor Johnny Heard, the assembly let everyone know who was who in the worlds of academics and athletics. Applause and shouts of approval echoed through the energetic atmosphere, to the point of Heard requesting that the commotion be held down to a dull roar so that the names being called could be heard. Dull, maybe, but the roar continued. I thought the students ' enthusiasm added to the pride that came with accepting an award, commented Principal Paul Burke. A shake of the and and a few words of con- gratulations from Burke complete, the ego boost of accomplishment to deserving students as he and Vice Principal Francene Maulding gave the students their medals, plaques, and certificates.

Chris Thomas and Susan Besze Three months of melody and hard work manifested themselves in the presentation of My Fair Lady. Fair ladies, and even a few gentlemen, of the Acapella Choir rehearsed both solos and duets fitting their characters in preparation for the May musical. Under the direction of Danny Hart, roles for the production were assigned in March. Tedious practices were endured by the fourth period singers right up until the per- formance on May 12. Senior Mike Spain related, Learning the music was hard at first, but after a couple of days I was sing- ing the songs in my sleep. The Girls ' and Concert Choirs served as a prelude to the actual musical, getting the Choral Department involved in the event. Then it was down to some serious singing. As a condensed musical, My Fair Lady ex- cluded a serious plot and focused on ex- pressive melodies, accompsmied on the piano by Amy Galyon. Choir members ex- changed places often, allowing everyone a chance in the spotlight. Senior Denny Hardesty expressed, Mr. Hart ' s experience really paid off this year, and he kept us from making too many mistakes. Hart expressed, I was always so proud of the kids in the musical because others could see their talent. Above Left: Joy Faber and Chris Kramer join arms for the finale.

Don George delivers an in- spirational message. Mary Wells Though a few months earlier conflict and a lack of communication cast a dark shadow over the Baccaulareate, the actual event was pulled off without a hitch. The USD Board of Trustees had negotiated with the church and had made a commitment to hold the services there. The senior class officers had wanted to con- tinue to have the event in Texas Stadium as had been the case for several years. While the Board listened to the gfroup, the commit- ment had been made and no changes could be invoked for the 1987 seniors. The board did, however, concede to communicating with next year ' s officers before a final deci- sion will be made. Seniors from all three of Irving ' s high schools filed into Calvary Temple ' s san- cutuary on May 8, to receive words of a spiritual nature. The invocation was given by MacArthur ' s Valedictorian, Janine Kraska, and the MacArthur Band provided the accompani- ment for the hymns. Calvary Temple ' s own pastor. Reverend J. Don George, addressed the congregation with an inspirational message. Senior Kelly Hart expressed, I found Reverend George ' s address enlight- ning and a the highlight of the entire pro- gram. Baccalaureate was truly a special evening and put me in the mood to face graduation on Saturday. The night ' s activities were concluded with the recessional hymn, A Mighty Fortress is Our God . The seniors exited the church to top of the night with some celebrating with family members and friends who had attended the ceremony.

Susan Besze While most teens took advantage of their first summer Saturday to sleep, 463 wide- eyed seniors ventured to Moody Coliseum without hesitation to end their four year tenure at MacArthur. Although some graduates and their families were at first miffed at the change in the graduation site, no signs .of dissatisfaction presented themselves at the actual ceremony. Commencement, as the exercises were formally called, begcin with an invocation by Father Richard Brown of Holy Family of Nazareth Catholic Church. Assistant Prin- cipal Lane Ladewig introduced the honor students who held prestigous seats on stage. Beckey Phillips remembered, I felt really special sitting up there, but a little segregated, too. Salutatorian Leslie Moss and Valedic- torian Janine Kraska presented personal ad- dresses to the class, expressing their hopes for preserving MacArthur memories in the future. The formalities of presenting and ac- cepting the class followed, with Senior Counselor Valerie Johnson calling each graduate to the stage. Class President Brian Wish, celebrating his birthday along with graduation, closed the ceremony in his own unique style. The Alma Mater was sung and tassles were turn- ed and even a few caps were thrown into the air. Graduation and all its spendor serv- ed as the conclusion of a surge of senior ac- tivities such as the Breakfast and Prom. More importantly, 12 years of both hap- piness and heartaches were culminated, and the door to a future of opitons was opened to the Class of 1987. Above Left: The Class of ' 87 change their tassles.

Freshman Rip Pounds explained, After having a bad day and a friend came up and started wrestl- ing and punching, you couldn ' t help but laugh and join in. Guys were always trying to understand girls and visa versa, and what better way than to have one of them as your best friend? Group activities attracted the strongest bonds of friendship.

I became involved with the PTA when my first child entered school, and by the time my youngest child started, I was very active and president of the PTA dsuring the 1979-1980 school year. Pat Norman, President: I felt by serving on the school board, I could do something for the kids in the community, the com- munity itself, and also contribute to the place in which I live. I have three kids in school and would like to see the school district stay its same solid self. Bill Benson, Vice President: I ' m a native Irvingite and attended Irving schools. I felt that this was a good school district, and I could help it through my good business abilities. I am a firm believer that a person is either a milker or a feeder; that is you either take or give something. Ann Pfaff, Trustee: I ' ve been on the school board for nine years. I enjoy very much working with young people and was a teacher for several years. I decided that after my children were born I would rather help make decisions than just accept them. Dr. James Filbeck, Trustee: At the time I was elected as a school board trustee, I had three kids in school and felt that I needed to keep the school board a strong one. I contributed to the community by ser- ving on the board. Ken Ewing. Trustee: I have a great concern for the school system and try to make sure the tax payers get what they pay for, and, by serving on the board, I can make sure they do. Arnold Martin, Secretary: I have a deep interest in education and its processes. In school, I always benefitted from having good teachers. I have also been helping the board for several years. My friends en- couraged me to run for the position, and I found it very rewarding. Paul Burke, Principal: My high school years were fun, and I try to make my years of being the principal fun while helping the students learn.

While some teachers justified the ideas behind the assessment, others felt it debased the teaching profession. Texas adopted the questionable system as part of House Bill 72. Since the instrument first appeared during the 1986-1987 school year, it was hard to predict just how effective it would be. We had to use the in- strument before judging it, expressed Vice Prin- cipal Tom Morris. The main purpose of the new system was to im- prove instructional methods and approaches to teaching. The assessment, itself, was divided in- to five main areas: instructional strategy, classroom organization, and presentation of sub- ject matter. Teachers were also graded on the at- titude they cultivated in their students as well as the learning environment within the classroom. Teachers were asses sed twice each semester, which gave the evaluators the opportunity to see if the evaluations had helped the instructors improve. Opinions varied among teachers, as some were in favor of the system while others had mixed emotions. Nita Beane expressed, I can see how it has helped us grow. Pam Meredith relayed, I ' believe that the concepts presented in the new evaluation system were beneficial and improved teaching techniques. Sandra Whitfield felt, The new evaluation system could be used to strengthen our weaknesses. Bette Salter took an opposing stand, It required teachers and evaluators to become machines and elimated the relaxed, personal atmosphere that was also necessary for a good learning environment. )ne visit by the valuator is unan- lounced. pAofo y Jennifer Jndsey faculty 87 Glasses Emit Music Jordan Post Did anyone see David Byrne ' s movie, True Stories? The unfamiliar instrument heard in the song Dream Operator was played by German English Teacher Terry Hinely. Hinely ' s instrument, the glass harmonica, consisted of 28 wine glasses.

Hinely ' s discovery of the unique sound occured one night at dinner, as he explained, I moved my finger around the rim of my wine glass at the table one night and decided it would make a nice instrument. Spending three days in California at the invitation of Byrne, who heard about the teacher through a mutual friend, Hinely performed for the soundtrack of True Stones. Hinely utilized his unique talent at several events during the year. Two such performances included the Scarborough Fair and the Irish Festival.

Required classes taught us a lot, but it got boring doing the same thing day after day. They did get us to college. Jennifer Mize, Senior photo by Lori Dahlman Amy Richardson Math courses are improtant because a good math foundation in high school will lead to math becoming easier in college and upper-level math leads to a wide varie- ty of good jobs. Judy Blaylock, Math Teacher English, history, and math are necessary for future college studies later in life. Although some of these classes are not my favorite, I know they will help me get where I want to be in life. Deanna Lusk, Senior Taking required courses does not appear to be asking too much. They only want what will help me in later life. Greg Stroud, Senior It was more difficult to teach a required subject because there was a whole spec- trum of students in my classroom as oppos- ed to the students who chose to take a class such as an elective that interested them. Eunice Gilchrist, Government Teacher I feel required courses take up too much time. There should be more room for elec- tives so that we could figure out what we would like to do after our education is com- pleted. Blake Bozman, Sophomore There are so many classes that were required, but they all were pretty easy. I hope I use all I have learned later on, because I would hate to feel it all went to waste. David Yandry, Senior Taking required classes really helped me through my other classes. The things I learned in English I used all day long in my other courses. Joe Gattis, Freshman Math should teach more of what you need in the future. Too much time was spent teaching things that students will never use again. Jonna Smith, Junior Courses that were required were the ones that everyone uses in life. The other courses did not really help get a person through life. They were just there to keep us busy.

I am really looking forward to them. Dean Gamboa, Sophomore Sure, school was for learning. However, without any choices, kids got bored and the whole point of getting an education was ruined. Electives played a major role in keeping kids motivated. Doug Weisbruch, Senior I enjoyed teachi ng electives much more than regular classes. The students got more involved and they were very eager to learn. Tracy Youngblood, Psychology Sociology Teacher If teachers of required classes strive to make them more interesting, students would enjoy classes as much as their hob- bies and electives. Part of the problem stems from the automatic rebellion against any required actions.

The light at the end of a seemingly endless tunnel filled with every emotion an eager young freshman could imagine— and more. Giggling young teenagers anticipating the near future grew into giggling young adults reminiscing about the recent past. Four years compos- ed a bright kaleidoscope of memories vividly turning in the mids of students wearing red caps and gowns, looking into the future much like they did four years ago. The confusion of a freshman ' s first day was exceeded only by the frustration of his first year. A taste of high school life kept most newcomers reaching for more. However, the oblivious young ones soon realized the uncomfortable realities of a label. Just a freshman. Not too bad, right? Wrong! Just a freshman meant no car, no prom, no independence, and just a promise for dating. Surely becoming a freshman meant something? Oh, yes, it proved to be- quite a learning experience. Eager social climbers learned to wear the right clothes, say the right things, talk to the right peo- ple. Why? So they could look cool while wandering around lost, sound intelligent while asking directions, and feel prestigious while buying a fake elevator pass from a popular upper classman. The restriction and reputation of such an undesirable young age forced them to resort of mild forms of entertainment such as their first homecoming or the annual Freshman versus Sophomore Powderpuff Football Game. The freshmen also had to contend with the phrase, You ' re too young. This tact- fully referred to dating, staying out late, driving, having a personal telephone, mak- ing decisions, and going to Padre Island for Spring Break with upper classmen friends. Coveted positions in future activities en- couraged youngsters to get involved ear- ly. Joe Grattis expressed, The experience of Freshman Football gave me a strong background useful for varsity competi- tion. So, the saga continued. A step up and a step forward found the once pitied freshman a somewhat envied sophomore. Relief from surviving the first year mixed with all the promises of a new age thrilled the material minded. The highlight of the year was getting your own car, and better yet, the chance to drive it, exclaimed Wen- dy Sturdy. The constantly polished paint jobs of cars, old or new, glimmered alike in the sunshine and shadowed the untouched asphalt of awaiting driveways. Sophomores reeled with excitement at the idea of merely driving a car up and dowjji the driveway, and that unforgettable first spin around the block left them breathless. Never mind the embarrassingly huge word stamped on their licenses— PROVISION- AL — could not deny a shiny ring of car keys or dry the watering of vehicle starv- ed beginners. Each spin of the tires seem- ingly moved them one inch closer to the glorious land of seniorhood. The middle of the tunnel to graduation stumbled across the junior year. And stum- ble, the students did. College loomed in the suddenly not so distant future, asking hun- dreds of questions without easy answers. Puzzled students wondered which tests they had to face and which they could ig- nore. Would one attempt the SAT or the ACT? The AP exams or the CLEP exams? TEAMS testing acted only as an introduc- tion to a rigorous routine of exit and en- trance and exit exams. Should a college freshman live at home, at school, or in an apartment? Most importantly, where should a typically satisfied and uninterested junior attend school? And, once the school was chosen, a major course of study was next. Better yet, why should anyone worry about it so soon? Curious juniors daringly peered into the future with mixed emotions. Meanwhile, MacArthur still had ex- hilarating new experiences to offer. Ac- tivities such as office elections gave many plenty to ponder. During the heat of cam- paigning, future Student Council Vice President Tad Johnson muttered, Tomor- row! I ' m was trying to fin enough hours to get everything done today. The hours fad- ed away . . . Finally! Finally, a senior. Wait— what happened to that year? Seems like just yesterday everyone was clowning around without a care (it was). Football games, a rainy Homecoming, a fantastic soccer team, decorating the school, painting the town pink. Perhaps the seniors did not realize the extent of what they were los- ing until the Senior Pep Rally, but the mo- ment pals and strangers joined hands, the reality of the an ending covered the crowd. Old and new friends grew closer as memories of times together brought laughter, tears, and a long looked back on the past four years at MacArthur High School. Soon both thoughts of yesterday and dreams of tomorrow echoed through empty halls. Some realities began to dawn upon these young adults. In some form, leaving home was just around the corner. Mom, dad, family were going to be visited, rather than lived with. While looking forward to leav- ing for college, career, or marriage, there 116 academic progression Being on the top of the heap vas great.

That did not seem to stop all the die-hard par- ty maniacs from doing what they did best, but it sure seemed to put a damper on the situation for the next couple of years. Some people did not drink anyway and it seemed to them that other people might even enjoy themselves at a party if they did not drown in liquor. Getting the alcohol might not be as easy as it was before the law was passed, though. Beer stores and the like started being a little more cautious, so that they would not get in trou- ble for selling to minors. If a minor was caught trying to buy alcohol, that person could be fin- ed. Often a worker at the beer store would at- tempt to card the person trying to buy alcohol. This meant that the buyer had to show proof of age, but the worker could not induce a fine or arrest the buyer. It seemed funny to some people that an 18 year old could fight and die for their country, but could not buy liquor. It looked like those people who were waiting with baited breath for that blessed ninteenth birthday would just have to wait a few more years until they could walk in- to a beer store without the fear of rejection.

After Riggs suffered a severe asthma attack in the Soviet Union, news hungry reporters rush- ed to the airport to catch her arrival home. Riggs visited Russia on a faculty sponsored trip. After sightseeing in the USSR for about a week, at- tended a small circus in Moscow. Experiencing some difficulty breathing, Riggs left during in- termission to take her allergy medicine As the attack progressed, Riggs ' breathing totally stopped. Making the Russians understcind what had happened seemed impossible. A cir- cus performer first administered CPR while everyone else stood around helpless. He saved ' her life, explained Salter. Waking up in a hospital bed the next morn- ing, Awful as it seemed, lack of communication didn ' t turn out to be our worst problem, Riggs remarked with a grimace. Further complications arose in her father ' s attempts to obtain a visa. Publication of this incident soon solved the problem. Although hospitalized for five days, Riggs was released upon her father ' s arrival. 128 seniors lisa riggs While displaying Soviet souvenier, Seni Lisa Riggs explait again, about her trip Kellie Denny Duane Dobbels Todd Doherty Leah Drake Michele Earl i Russia and her stay in a Soviet hospital.

An alleged murder and a high school robbery set the scenes, as students acted out the judicial system. They dressed up, assuming fictitious names and roles as lawyers, witnesses, jury members, bailiffs, and judges. For a week, witnesses and lawyers learned their parts and prepared to testify or present their cases. Based on evidence obtained in the trial, jury members determined whether to acquit the defendants or find them guilty. Since trial scripts were designed to have no right or wrong answer, classes had no limits on their approach to the case. Jury member Mel Lemane commented, Mock trials helped us understand what court was like. It gave us a chance to learn about our judicial system as well. State tournaments were prepared for a little differently. At this competition the student lawyer had to be prepared to defend either side of a case. Participants who competed in the state contest attended a workshop December 13 at the Dallas County. For the first time, MacArthur competed against Irving, with the winner advan- cing to regionals.

Once vacant, vandals laid seige upon the structure. pAofo by Lisa LeVrier Eric Taylor Who would have suggested that an inno- cent little red and white house could pose such a mystery to MacArthur students? Built by Irving High ' s Building Trades Department, the small dwelling was one of several rent houses that used to be own- ed by the Irving Independent School District. Mary Capps, the parking lot attendant, probably knew more about the house than anyone else. She and her husband lived there for eight years. Capps explained, It was the first house to be built by the department about 25 or 30 years ago. It us- ed to cost $60 a month to rent. Over the last few years all the houses that were owned by USD were sold, in- cluding the little red and white one. Recently it fell prey to vandals, and it look- ed like it would have to be rebuilt if anyone wanted to live there. In the fall it was propped up on beams and left there to be further vandalized. During the night, shortly after Christmas, the little house was moved. Painted red and white, to match the school colors, the little home became a landmark to students every morning as they entered the student parking lot to begin the school day. During the fall, the house was jacked up and placed upon beams— ready to be mov- ed away. It was not until after Christmas that an emp- ty lot greeted the students. The structure had been moved during the night. p iofo by Lisa LeVrier ' 7 could not wait un- til graduation day to party with my friends.

It was true, but maybe not in the same way most people would think. These couples were formed as projects in both Home and Family Living and Latin classes. Students got hitched in Home and Family Liv- ing during April. Planning for the weddings lasted for weeks. Participants had to plan their honeymoons through a travel agent, pick out wedding China, choose rings, take part in a rehearsal dinner, and hold a bridal shower. On top of all that, the cost for the entire affair had to be calculated. Sponsor Ann Williams remark- ed, It ' s a complex process, but we all really en- joyed it. After it was all over, students thought twice about getting married anytime soon. Latin students took part in a Confarreatio or Patrician Roman wedding. The weddings were held so that students would have an understan- ding of the typical Roman marriage ceremony. Groom Sam Singleton relayed, I really had a lot of fun, but I ' m glad it was not the real thing. Latin teacher Ann Price officiated at the ceremonies, which involved an exchange of vows and a wedding party. 134 seniors weddings Seniors Ben Gaston and Michelle Enriquez attend eir wedding reception after the ceremonyj Tina Kim Yon Kim Scott Kimmel Rhett King Steve King Lacy Kinsey Heather Knight Janine Kraska Carolyn Lambright Richard Larsen hese simulated weddings were held in the iditorium, with the reception in the Homemaking ivingroom, as a part of a Home and Family Living reject. pAofo by Lisa LeVrier Paula Langford Kristi Langford Jim Lapp Francois Latour Melissa Laurel Liza Jo Leal ' ' Being a Senior was great, but graduation will be better It sure has been a long four m - ' y} Gary Garrison, Senior photo by Amy Mercer seniors weddings X O d Jam Rocks Field House Darin Anderson Six local rock groups performed in the MacArthur Jam, December 5, providing what has become an annual evening of musical entertainment.

Two Way Traffic took first prize, $100, with renditions of Fight the Good Fight by Triumph, Jimi Hendrix ' s Fire , and Jumping Jack Flash written by the Roll- ing Stones. Second prize, $50, went to the group Secrets who played Ratt ' s You Think You ' re Tough , In and Out of Love by Bon Jovi, and Dokken ' s Into the Fire . Jason Benfield, guitarist for Secrets, stated, It was great! Whoever organized it should plan for another, but have it in the auditorium and offer more prize money.

Greg Pletz To tan or not to tan? That was the question. Whether to pay high prices for a bronze body or to suffer the pale pressures of winter . . . Students obviously could not lay out during the cold weather months of winter, so a popular alternative proved to be venturing to Metroplex tanning salons such as Tan for All Seasons, Sunseekers, and The Tanning Galleria. The average fee proved to be $4 for a 30 minute ses- sion in one of the ultraviolet beds. Each bed was located in a private room, and equipped with a radio and a tape deck so that occupants would not become too bored. For those who tanned more frequently, mon- thly and yearly memberships to the salons were available. It wasn ' t too expensive because I didn ' t go that much. There just wasn ' t a need to do it so much, relayed Nathan Terral. I lik- ed having a membership because I could go in and tan anytime without having to pay every day, stated Jill Yandry. Of course when spring arrived, students were seen soaking up rays in the backyard, at the pool, or, when possible, on the beach. Arguments per- sisted about the sun and or the tanning booths being dangerous to the skin. However, the fact remained, tan was in! ing and skin cancer, students, as well as adults, con- lued to seek the rays of the sun to make their skins ihionably darker for what they considered to be a Dre healthy appearance. Tanning was a popular past ne for males and females alike, pftofo byJR Miller Michael Moser Leslie Moss Carolyn Muir Leslie Mullin Frank Brett Hilary Eric Jane Kelly Munoz Munro Musselman Nelson Nelson Nevil Rodney Niemuth Leslie Noltner Reginald Nubine Diane O ' Brien John Okoluk Shawn Oldham senior tanning 139 Imelda Oliva Laurie Olson Michael Olvera Shannon Ormon Patrick Osborne Jim Oshel Rick Ostermayer Richard Oveda Derek Ozymy Herlinda Padron Lesley Page Cynthia Palacios i : Taxing Questions Answered Darin Anderson Taxes . . . the distasteful word that arises to the forefront of most working people ' s vocabulary once a year. More importantly is the amount of money demanded of them by Uncle Sam for use by the National Treasury. Filling out tcix forms ... a trying experience that made some people feel really flustered. However, HECE students came to their peers ' aid by figuring out if they owed money or would receive money back. Students in Mary Lou Knoerzer ' s Home Economics Cooperative Education Class man- ned a table throughout all lunches, where those, having problems filling out their tax forms could go for assistance. From a simple question to help- ing the students fill out his or her complete W-4 form, HECE was there to help. Senior Sherry Pike exclaimed, Filling out the forms really confused me. I was glad they were there. Senior Stephanie Mask relayed, I only had one question, but they were able to answer it. What they did was very worthwhile and I hope the project will continue in the next few years because students are always going to have ques- tions that need to be answered. 140 senior hece tax aid program Before asking fcl assistance, Senior Stei( Green peruses the tax it formation on the table i| Dana Patton Grey Paul Sharon Pena — ■liiK f Stacy Penny Andrew Perez Julie Perez !

Although MacArthur ' s team has been in ex- istance for only three years, it possessed enough desire to succeed to win at Regionals. The fairy- tale season included the defeat of rivals Nimitz and Haighland Park. Unfortunately, however, MacArthur lost at the state contest. The team consisted of six academic athletes and three althernates. Two team members and one alternate from each skill level competed against players from the same classification. Medals and scholarships went out to high scorers: Brian Wish won a $2000 scholarship as the second highest at state competition, and Col- in Campbell received a medal as first in state in the social studies category. John Hale recalled, The team worked hard and from the begin- ning everyone on it thought we would be unstop- pable. Meeting throughout the season each day in class and twice a week after school, students pounded information on topics ranging from economics to science into their brains. In addi- tion they studied for the Super Quiz, which covered the U S Constitution. udd Second Row: Shawna Rackley, Jennifer Meese, ,isa Riggs Third Row: Carolyn Muir.

Jobs, homework, and dates all con- tributed to the loss of valuable time. Junior Julie Vitacca confided, About once every two weeks, I stayed up all night to com- plete my homework. Other students set the alarm to get up early to complete their homework. For most people, clocks and watches marked time at school; however, clock wat- chers were not tolerated by Coach Marvin Daniels. In fact, there was no clock in his room. Coach Daniels explained, Clocks were not furnished in the rooms. If students wanted to know what time it was, they could bring a watch to school. After all, that was what the bells were for. The days grew shorter as the weeks grew longer. On Monday nights many students met in the cafeteria for Younglife, while church kept others occupied on Wednesdays. Students usually reserved Friday and Saturday nights football games, parties, dances, or the movies. They pack- ed Irving ' s movie theaters and then ven- tured to Bennigan ' s or Chili ' s to grab a bite to eat. Junior Dan Shaughnessy explained, During football season, I usually went to the game, then to a party. On Friday nights, I always ran out of time. Todd Albin.

As the years progressed, the bird eventually became torn and faded, the red turned to orange, and the arms ripped open. The 1986-IQ87 Big Mac Keepers, Katherine Bongfeldt, Kenni Dyes, Marion Jarrell, and Chris Thomas, along with Janice Yandry, a mother who offered her services, decided the bird needed recovering. In a process that required two yards of red acrylic fur and two large spools of thread, workers sewed fur over the original head, arms, and legs so that re-stuffing the bird was not necessary. A total of two days at the Yandry home consumed the time of the workers. Revealed at Booster Club on the day of its com- pletion, the bird of a dark red color received ap- proval, as many compliments were heard from both students and faculty. Its debut to the student body occured during the Homecoming Parade. Booster Club assumed the repair cost of the bird, which totaled $50. We were expecting a good year athletics and felt that Big Bird couldn ' t strut his feathers without a face iift, Jarrell ex- plained. After all the hard work put into the bird, we hope that it lasts as long, if not longer, than it did the first time, remarked Dyes. i; Janice Yandry mother of Jil Yandry, adds th final touches to 158 underclassmen big mac repair h : A • ■ ■ !.- f lippr Jason Barr. 1 1 Brian Barrett. 9 Dwayne Bartlett, 9 Siama Basharkhah. 9 Dawn Bass. 9 Tracy Bass. 1 1 Thomas Bateman. 10 Brandy Bates. 10 Suzanne Bates. 10 Robert Baugh. 10 Jamie Baumgartner. 10 Ted Baxter. 1 1 Rachael Berden. 9 Donnalyn Becker. 9 Teddy Becker. 10 Richard Bedford. 11 Aaron Bednar, 9 Michelle Beeman. 10 Michael Befekadou. 10 Jim Bell, 10 Michael Bell. 9 Nancy Beloff. 9 Stephan Bell. 10 Jayson Benfield. 11 Ewa Berezynski, 11 ' Being in the band, I didn Y have much ex- tra time, but I still made a real effort to get involved when and where I could.

This and other slogans and posters bombarded students throughout the halls as candidates campaigned for various offices during the year. Posters varied from the ordinary Vote for Chris An- thony to the more imaginative Swartz hangings. Can- didates also used stickers, buttons, and one candidate, Rhone Moore, gave out pencils. The moment of truth usually came second period on the day of election. Students assembled in the auditorium with ballots in hand to hear candidates deliver speeches. Those with the funniest speeches usually received many votes, while those capturing audience participa- tion also did well. Scott Patton won the freshman class presidency by prompting the assembly to move to the right of their seats, then forward, to the left, and finally back in their seats. Under my leadership, we ' ve clean- ed every seat in the auditorium, he remarked. Hiding his nerves behind the podium, Todd Kraska delivers his campaign speech to the Freshman Class.

Various school clubs created t-shirts with their choice of logos on them. The Latin Club ' s shirt displayed a cardinal wearing a toga. Younglife came up with a twist to the Hard Rock Cafe emblem.

Once bright gray, now somewhat dingy lockers lined the halls with a history of faults. Difficult combina- tions, changing combinations, forgotten combinations. Clearly, the problems occur- red from a combination of things. Adhering to tradition, the reigning com- plaints came from unhappy bottom locker recipients. Severity of the problems fluc- tuated with various opinions. Grace Johnson expressed an amusingly common complaint, People dropped things on me and I got stepped on. At the upper end of the locker lined hierarchy. Vice Prin- cipal Tom Morris dismissed minor distur- bances, We had few problems with students and bottom lockers, mainly because we wouldn ' t respond to them. Reveling in their individuality, students cluttered their respective homes away from home with clothes, lunches, notes, and other unidentifiable trash. By second semester, a peek in an occupied locker told as much about a personality as the conver- sational walks to them. Despite all the mumblings and grumbl- ings, students gradually accepted most of the inconveniences. Amazingly enough, on- ly 15 students of over 2000 lodged official c omplaints.

The radio was an important companion to teenagers. The instrument was found in the car, at home, at the pool, and in the lunch room at school. When the radio wasn ' t playing, tapes were shoved into players and music continued. I photo by Carolyn Muir It ' s an Ear Full Jordan Post Radio played an outstanding part in students ' lives, as they spent most of their time listening to one radio or another. Because of differences in tastes and noise levels, many students took Walkmans and jamboxes everywhere they went. Music helped make the short lunch period more en- joyable. According to Vice Principal Francene Maulding, MacArthur was the only school in Irving allowed to listen to a stereo system during lunch. Car radios were seldom quiet. As soon as the igni- tion was turned, fingers began flipping the stations. Others believed music possessed the power to get them through homework. In addition, studying for tests was accomplished with the aid of music. Since the adults ' tastes varied, they were fortunate to live in the area because of the variety of stations operating. Top 40 stations, which seemed to attract the majority of teenagers, included KEGL (Eagle), KHYI (Y95), and KTKS (KISS106).

Through modern technology, many different types of braces appeared on teenagers. Lingual braces, which fit inside the teeth, seemed to have been preferred among the students, and clear braces, or tooth colored braces, ran a close second. I wish they had less noticable braces when I wore mine. Now people can wear them without even being noticed, complained Junior Sara Harvey. Braces ranging anywhere from $2000 to $2500 served such purposes as correcting overbites, mov- ing teeth, and aligning jaws and muscles. Getting out of school for orthodontist appointments might have been fun, but when you knew you had to go get your braces tightened it took most of the fun out of it, commented Junior Shelly Eason. Only about 40 percent of teens wore braces although approximately 70 percent needed them at one time or another. Of the reasons mentioned for not wearing braces, the one most popular among the students included expense. They were a financial burden on my mother for two years. I wish I could have helped her with the payments, said Senior Craig Sherrill. Teens also mentioned pain and hassles such as retainers and food stuck in hard to reach places. For most teens who wore them, braces were just another part of growing up. The excitement of get- ting a first drivers license and the humility of be- ing called brace face or train tracks remain- ed in the minds of teens for years. r V  J 1 After three year of wearin braces.

At least that was what Junior Chris Harvey said. Others, however, felt that money was a way of life because of the everyday expense of maintaining cars, buying gifts for friends, and dates— the most expensive of all. Dating was the main reason students needed money. Without it, they could not venture out at all. Going out was popular, but it often proved an expensive way to learn more about the person they liked. Buying gifts for friends on their birthdays or on holidays was done frequently. Cardettes, especially, went to much time and trouble purchasing things for their big or little sisters. Junior Cardette Laura Reynolds said, Spending money on our friends gave us the chance to show that we cared. Owning a car also drained the wallets of many students. Just buying gas was expensive enough, but many students also paid for their car repairs and insurance. X Getting ready for graduation, Seniors Rodney Niemuth and Ngyet Phan place orders for caps and gowns. Juniors started suffering from senior expenses when they ordered their rings.

Going to the movies gave students many an opportunity to see and experience a wide variety of somewhat interesting characters who were not necessarily in the movie, itself. I could not believe some of the things that went on in the movie theaters, stated Jade Lamb. The various movies caused problems such as joint decisions and empty wallets as the price of tickets skyrocketed to $5 during prime dating hours. For this reason, many students turned to renting their favorite flicks for only a cou- ple of dollars. If one was willing to wait long enough, they could see them at such places as the Chateau, where it only cost a buck to get in. Some students were not willing, however, to wait for the movies to come out on video cassettes. Movies, such as Top Gun and sequels such as Nightmare on Elm Street III were seen time and time again. Platoon, which was nominated for eight academy awards, headed the list as one of the year ' s most moving pictures as it portrayed what being in Viet Nam was really like. Junior Marc Neilson relayed, Movies could be expensive, but they of- fered too much entertainment to do without them.

Picking a punishment proved to be an unpopular pastime among students who received disciplinary action.

Those who chose to received their punishment quickly asked for the Board of Education paddle brought out for swats.

' Jeff Faeth More chores! Will they ever end? Get that room cleaned up! Do the laundry! These words echoed throughout the year. Junior Jeff Sorrell was an expert escape artist, when it came to chores. He explained, I did not do many chores. When my dad asked me to take out the gar- bage, I usually ignored him. I had a job, so my parents let me get away with this most of the time. Little brothers and sisters, besides being pests, also created chores for students. Sometimes my brothers made a mess and Mom told me to clean it up. I also took them to basketball practice and sometimes pick- ed them up from school. This was a real pain some of the time, complained Sophomore Doug Davis. Once in a while, the little brother or sister helped out the older sibling. Senior Gina Upshaw could never be considered pesty as she reported, When my big brother was home from college, I usually washed, fold- ed, and put his clothes away. Some people thought chores were tough, but Upshaw thought they had im- portance . She noted, They were good. They helped people prepare for when they would be on their own. Even leaving the house became a chore for some. I ran all over the place for my mom, chuckled Junior John Mahalik. I don ' t think she even went window shopping, as she told me to pick up everything — one trip at a time. Other students only hired-out to do work. Junior Ed- dy Sass explained, I had to mow the lawn in the spring, but I only did it when my parents offered me money for the job. However, everyone agreed, with or without money as the reward, the only way to get rid of a chore was just to do it. 4 Caroline Jones. 10 Jermayne Jones, 9 Kevin Jones, 1 1 Kristine Jones. 11 Stephen Jones, 11 Stephanie Jones, 9 Suzanne Jones, 9 Tracy Jones, 1 1 Jennifer Jordan. 10 Lori Jordan, 10 Shiloh Jorden, 9 Luis Juarez, 10 Catherine Judah. 9 MeUssa Judd. 9 Chris Judhn, 11 Lisette Kaak. 11 Eddie Kalansi y, 9 Angie Kaiman, 9 Cindy Kang, 11 Moon Kang, 9 David Kangas. 11 April Kantz. 9 Michael Kay. 10 Becky Keith, 9 Vince Kehler, 9 Kevin Keeter, 10 Chadd Keith, 10 Brian Hooten per ' fortns the twice Iweekly ritual o taking out th l y J 182 underclassmen home chores Home chores were important because they taught respon- sibility that could not be learned at school.

An idea of a piece of cardboard in a windshield to block the sun out appeared simple, but filled a need of the people and especially the pocket of the young millionaire who invented the money-maker. The use of the sun shade blocked harmful sun rays which deteriorated the quality of the car ' s interior. Sun shades also lowered the temperature inside the vehi- cle by 40 degrees, making it more pleasant getting in- to the automobile. The advantages were endless, stated Zolon Wilkins. It kept my seat from getting hot and prevented my dash from cracking. Cost of the shades seemed to vary. Ranging anywhere from $4 to $6 at the beginning of the sum- mer, the visors soon dropped to a mere 99 cents. Junior Ted Baxter summarized, While you were having fun in the sun, your car had it made in the shade. f ffr ;iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiihiiuniiiimi ory Main, 10 3erek Main, 10 Mammen, 11 :harles Ronda Galley, 10 Mannebach, 11 Vlike Malliton, 10 Sherry ason Mallot, 10 Mannebach. 11 i;hris Malone, 11 Phillip Maples, 10 Angela Marcantel, 11 Mark Marillo, 9 The auto sun shades that appeared during the summer of 1986 protected the car ' s interior while keeping the temperature to a more comfortable level for the driver upon his return.

How could three simple words cause such an uproar? Innocent and unassuming, babies everywhere contributed to the beginning of yet another fad — the phenomenon of yellow plastic. Child on board. Teacher on board. As time passed, the age of the culprits rapidly rose. Soon in- finite groups of people identified themselves with the eye catching diamond shaped signs. However, as with most fads, the less trendy resisted conformity to mainstream tastes with an amused sense of apathy. Senior Dawn Paris remarked, Yes, the signs were funny, but I was not about to hang one in my car. Paris ' opinion con- tradicted hundreds of others ' , who found the expressions of humor contagious.

Senior David Howard uses his glasses on necessary occa- sions such as studying and reading. The stigma of wearing glasses has been removed with such fashion leaders as Bill Blass, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Sophia Loren designing frames for all occasions and all modes of dress. p io?o by Rbett King Contact on Sight! Chris Thomas Whether serving for reading and studying or for all- day use, glasses or contacts corrected troublesome eye problems. Students were much happier about their op- tions as fashionable frames and contacts replaced four- eyed perceptions from the past. Students who had already decided on contacts found themselves with still a few more decisions: soft or hard, regular or extended-wear, color or plain? I had contacts for so long, they just became part of my dai- ly routine, remarked Tiffany Towery. Students soon discovered that contacts were easily lost and not so easily found. Parents usually paid for lost contacts until it became a habit. I ' ve replaced my contacts six times in three years, bemoaned Vince Kuehler. Glasses not only reflected clear vision, but cdso gave the wearer a chance to express personality. The wire rims of the ' 60 ' s even reappeared on students who had perfect eyesight. Large, round frames allowed students the intellectual look, and were also worn for looks in- stead of just for sight. decided on glasses over contacts to make me look a little more intelligent. I needed all the help I could get. Sanchit Angwatanakul, Senior photo by Rhett King Junior Tim Rohlik has his daily contact routine down to a one-handed science.

Known as foreign exchange students, these young people spent an entire year living in the homes of various families in order to have a diverse look into American daily life. Eivinn Anderson left his native Norway for the US. He found his way to the Holmes family, who treated him very nicely. Barbara Furlanetto left her homeland of Italy to somehow make her way to Irving. Her only disap- pointment with the US proved to be that there were not enough opportunities for young people to have a good time. Francoise Latour came from Belgium mainly for the experience. Kathrin Walch left Germany with the idea that Everything was so open in the US, and I have enjoyed it a great deal. All enjoyed their stay, but were anxious to return home. I don ' t always consider it my advan- tage to be intelligent and good looking, but it has helped.

Between the vast extremes of having much too much to do and having nothing to do lay a void • in space filled with various entertaining things one could do. This state of limbo was frequently refer- red to as hanging out. Imagining the trance that MacArthur ' s young people dwelled in became simpler as the year pro- gressed. Early in the fall, uninterested zombies could be wandering aimlessly about, assuming fate would bring them fun. However, friendships and cliques eventually developed, providing more structured ways to hang out. The infamous Park Avenue, a dead end street that attracted hoardes of conversationalists, pro- ved to be the hot spot of the year. Students who needed to relax and those with relaxed priorities spent hours forgetting the cumbersome worries of high school. I enjoyed Park Avenue because it gave me a chance to talk to all my friends and see people I didn ' t see anywhere else, remarked Sophomore Shanna Sebastian. Tried and true traditions remained alive and well in the extracurricular world. When all else failed, Irving Mall welcomed the bored with open doors. Sports events entertained students and at the same time increased an interest in school ac- tivities. The warm spring weather was perfect for sports. Just sitting around in the sun was wonderful, remembered Senior Sheri Smith. Most students found their imagination quite capable of procrastination all by itself. One only had to open the door and peek outside.

It was a great way to relieve pressures built up from the day. Some were more serious in their events. Freshman Rip Pounds competed in area triathalons consisting of swimming, biking, and running. He voiced, Pushing myself through the hard work made me feel better and gave me a better outlook. Because I loved to stay in top physical condition, I lifted weights often.

Oh man, I ' ll just shrivel up and die if I miss the Journey Concert! Having outgrown spankings, a long time ago, students courageously met the fate of their parents ' lectures upon breaking the smallest of rules. The grounding syndrome served as a typical punishment for mischievious students throughout the school year. Mischievious? I ' m grounded too often to be just mischievious, Freshman Paige Taylor remarked. Parents attempted disciplinary actions from the ancient you should feel bad lectures to the more drastic measure of simply bolting the front door. The intensi ty of punishments lessened as the young matured. Senior Stacey Jones elaborated, I used to get grounded for grades, coming in late, etc., but the threats my parents made did not usually last long. This expereince proved to be universal as hasty guardians cooled down and realized that grounding a child until age 42 may have been a little too harsh. Nevertheless, locked windows and doors sup- pressed quite a few escapades grounded students would have otherwise enjoyed. Only one question remained unanswered: Grounding had to stop at graduation.

It was not a question of what you had, it was a question of what you could do with what you had, expressed Cin- dy Mitchell. Rule number two— if a certain style became boring or tiresome, one changed it. Mark Lewis remarked, I wear my Mohawk because I liked it. If people lik- ed it, g eat. If not, so what? Rule number three— practice made perfect. Gel, mousse, hairspray, and styling foam, with or without color, provided the creative plenty to experiment with. Curling irons and hair rollers faded into the background as new concepts captured the attention of the younger generation. ■i. i Amy Moore peers from under permed ringlets, top- ped by a hat, and sun glasses.

Romero felt this was better than a restaurant. p io(o by Liza Jo Leal Steaks, at Stake Chris Thomas Gambling may have been illegal, but it served as an incentive for ROTC cadets. In order to keep them willing to study, Major Jim Redden invented a betting system. The agreement consisted of one cadet pledg- ing to make a 100 on a test. ROTC students took this offer into consideration and decided they could probably make a 100, ailthough 99 was the closest they ever came. One student, Freshman Eddie Kolenousky, found himself over his head in debt, after he over-confidently bet against Red- den. 1 do not know why I kept betting uncontrollably time after time. I guess I thought that someday I would make a 100, bemoaned Kolenousky. Junior Jimmy Romero, another who lost the bet, decided the pay off of a steak dinner at a restaurant was too conventional. Instead, Romero cooked the steak and potato himself. After preparing the meal, Romero served Redden at his desk. I discovered soon after my loss the reason most cadets did not bet. It was because they knew that it was almost impossible to win. I had to find out for myself, sighed Romero. With the feast just about ready, Major Jim Redden stands ready with his empty plate. Junior Jimmy Romero gives the steak one more test for doneness before serving the ROTC instructor.

The students left their school, the Otto-HaHaan Gymnasium in Gottingen, West Germany, to taste a bit of American life. After recovering from bouts of jet lag, the students began their US experience. Each student lived with a fami- ly, and during the day they made rounds of classes with their new American friends. Experiencing American education first hand, the students observed and par- ticipated in all of the normal classroom activities. This created a nightmare for Cristina Knop, who found herself in a calculus class which she found dull due to a lack of comprehension. Basically, commented Ger- man Teacher Terry Hinely, this was a chance for us to see how others live. Everyone involved gained a new perspective on the two countries.

With the help of a weekly visitor, Junior Achieve- ment Consultant Nancy Hellinghausen, Coach Johnny Fazekas ' fourth period economics class was inspired to attempt a real life money maker. The Ying Yang Flower Gang sold stock at $2 a share, letting out 100 shares to get the company off the ground. 1 only bought one share, but I wished I would have bought more because it paid back 22 cents on the dollar, stated Frank Conselman. During April Fools ' Week the company sold flowers. Using the slogan, By a fool a flower, they sold 400 flowers at $1.50 a piece, with a remaining inventory of only 30 flowers remaining. Fazekas explained, With a profit of $100 we pull- ed in.

Female riders raced around barrels and poles in a set sequence and then sprinted to the finish line to see who could ac- quire the fastest time. Some people who joined the Rodeo Club did so because they liked the thrill of riding, and others enjoyed being with their friends. Ray Loving explained, I joined because I liked to ride horses and bulls. I really enjoyed the people I rode with and it was always lots of fun. Jack Keith added, We felt that our club was as important as any other group in MacArthur. We joined together and showed our school spirit just like any varsity sport.

Activities includ- ed a water balloon toss, a soccer juggling contest, and an all out war with liquid bombs. Students decided that a simple toss would not be enough, so they took the balloons and threw them at everyone in sight. Tad Johnson commented, It was a madhouse after the real events got finished. People ran left and right and down the halls of the school to try from getting soaked. Hot dogs, chips, and soft drinks constituted the menu for the event. Head Chef Osborn Taylor remark- ed, We planned to have a big hot dog eating contest, but everyone ate so much we could not find anyone who wanted to eat any more. We ended up with about 50 extra hot dogs. Sponsor Jan Hahn gave a speech on the activities and life of a senior in order to get everyone in the mood for 1988. Hahn emphasized how important the leaders of the school would be. Angle Taylor remarked, It was nice to get together and have a good time while thinking about being seniors.

Heard First came the picture of the owl. and then another, cind another. Once covered walls and cluttered corners displayed the dirty white color hidden for the last fifteen years. Collages of graduates were packed away. People who studied the room remarked that it looked as if Journalism was leaving MacArthur. To everyone who passed through the doors of Room 302, they were right. Johnny N. Heard leaving MacArthur? The man who could make your head swell with pride and shrink with shame in a matter of minutes. A young staff writer or photographer could rest assured that Heard was just beyond the left shoulder. Always. Year after year, everything was the same--the u shaped desk to hide behind, the red stained carpet to gawk at, the darkroom that offered escaped from the brightness of daily dilemmas. Known for his sarcastic remarks, Heard en- couraged over a decade of students to match their wits against his for a good laugh. Laugh, and the world laughs with you. A master of Journalism and conversation, he always had the last laugh. The walls lost their character when the old theatre billings lost their home. Heard spent fifteen years filling the room with personali- ty, securing the foundation with talent, and bracing it with patience. Those walls have seen hordes of powerhung editors, Saturday chaos, and frustrated staff writers. Writers? Wait, it wasn ' t all that tragic. About those editors.. .Heard had a tremendous sensitivity toward his kids, although he would probably never admit it. Journalism wasn ' t about posi- tions, it was about pelple. Johnny knew that, and he catered to the needs of students as much as he tended to the Crest every year. Thanks Johnny, for your time and trouble, because we were time and trouble, you haven ' t made us memories, you ' ve made us better people.

Troy Grumbinet Senioii photo by Rod Blah Darin Anderson Having large sums of money ... the goa of every class and organization on campus Ways of acquiring money were numerous everything from providing entertainmen to supplying people with public service were attempted. Without money, thi organizations could do little, and therefore, the members of the organizatioi had less ability to remain active. Even before school began, the Booste Club kicked off the year with their annua Booster Blitz. The activity involvet students going throughout the communi 218 fund raising Organizations Raise Funds To Defer Costs of Activities ty to sell advertising which would later ap- pear in the football programs. Profits from this helped pay the costs of sending athletic teams to out of town games, playoffs, and tournaments. In early August, students were recruited by the Booster Club to solicit memberships and advertising from area businesses. The students broke up into teams and scoured the community with contracts and receipt books in hand. They worked at this for most of one full day. Contests were held for the most a team sold and the winners were announced at a Booster Club spon- sored dance the Friday night before school started. Dances were popular fund raisers since they usually brought in a good deal of money. The Booster Club, French Club, and Cardettes were among those who held dances. The Junior Class Dance drew one of the larger crowds as they made over $1000 one Friday night. Junior Class Presi- dent Dorothy Caldwell recalled, The North Cafeteria was packed that night. We really made a killing — money-wise. While dances had been popular in the past and the Junior Class did come out with a sizeable profit, the events seemed to sub- side this past year. Students did not attend as they had in previous years. Organiza- tions found themselves making little money for their effort or just barely break- ing even on expenses. Bake sales, the most popular way to raise funds, tried to get students to give up their money by appealing to their sweet tooth. The Latin Club sponsored one of the more successful ones, but they were not the on- ly club to do well. The Spanish, German, and French Clubs also did exceptionally well in making money. French Club member Mika James added, It was a great way to raise money, but it was hard to keep from eating the things we were selling, Of course, bakes sales were an ideal method of raising funds. Students or their moms prepared the goodies at home (or purchased them from a bakery or off the grocery store shelf). These items were then sold to students during all three lunch periods at a table located just outside the lunchroom door. All the money taken in was clear profit — no expenses incurred. Car washes were less popular and more difficult to plan because of the weather. Another problem was that they were nor- mally held on Saturdays, which involved students getting off work or adjusting their weekend plans. ROTC, Band, the Junior Class and the Spanish Club were among those willing to get wet so that one might have a clean car. Band member Chris Mammen remarked, We washed a few cars, I got a tan, and most of all, we had fun. Other forms of raising money were prac- ticed throughout the year. The Latin Club sold spirit buttons for $1, which sported the words Go Mac! . The French Club sold Bunnygrams, which allowed students to send messages to their friends on the Fri- day before Easter. Of course, these were a variation to the French Club ' s Mistletoe Messages, which were sold and distributed during the week before Christmas break. The Cardettes sold food seasonings and bottles of suntan lotion as a way to defer the expenses in purchasing uniforms. Junior Angie Tidwell said, Selling things was a great idea. I did not know what the other Cardettes thought about the project, but I had fun trying to sell more than everybody else. The Student Council got in the act of ear- ning money for their treasury by selling carnations on Valentine ' s Day. The Stu- dent Council was constantly providing methods of relieving students of their loose change: spirit chain links during Homecoming Week, slave sales during Spring Fever Week, bake sales, spirit rib- bons durmg football season, and buttons for various occasions. The Senior Class, by far the most pro- lific fund raising group, held an Arts and Crafts Fair, a World Class Wrestling Match, the Senior Play, the Senior Spec- tacular, and some of the guys lifted weights during lunch one day to defer the huge cost involved in holding the Senior Prom. Some efforts to raise money, however, were for academic purposes and not just to increase the treasury. The Ying Yang Flower Gang, created by Coach John Fazekas ' fourth period economics class, was an experiment in business procedures. A corporation was formed, stock sold, pro- duct purchased, product sold, and profits counted. The group chose to sell flowers the last week in March and deliver them on April Fool ' s Day. Advised by Junior Achievement, the group found the project to be a success and returned 22 cent s on the dollar to investors. Due to House Bill 72, some of the fund raising practices have been changed from previous years. No longer could items, such as carnations and messages, be delivered during class time. Candy or items that were in direct competition with local merchants were no longer allowed to be sold. Still the exchange of money was continually going on the increase the cash in the treasury of those organizations that were active and wanted to remain so. Whether they were raising money for a party or to send officers on a convention or to pay for prom or to learn about business procedures, the organizations and classes were willing to attempt just about anything to acquire the elusive dollar. fund raising 219 ®m High on Life members Angie Hatchard.

High on Life, a program designed to help substance abusers and educate non- users, had an active and successful first year. The group provided peer support, used a buddy system for new students, created more awareness of drug and alcohol problems, and offered students a chance to get together and talk out problems. Members of High on Life worked to promote awareness throughout the community. PTA and church groups profitted from speeches and activities held by the members themselves. Elementary schools were talked to so that younger children could learn early about the effects of drugs. It made me feel good to know that what I said could help a certain person to get on the right track, stated Heather Hellinghausen. Speakers were brought in to talk and inform the future members about the growing drug and alcohol dilemma, along with ways to prevent their friends from becoming statistics. The guests tried to com- municate the importance of friendship in times of adolescent depression and suicidal thoughts. Weekly rap sessions were open to anyone on cam- pus. At these gatherings, students aired out problems in an atmosphere of true support. Other activities, such as a lock-in and a pool party, were held to get the group together for fun times. Officers of High on Life included President Mike Loftus, Vice President Shannon Oren, Secretary Deb- bie Needham, Publicity Chairman Heather Hell- inghausen, Social Chairman Libby Schnee, Historian Beckey Phillips, and Reporter Blake Porter.

Ac- tivities such as Homecoming, Project Child, Spirit Week, dances, and class elections provided only a small por- tion of work that was cut out for the organization. Why, the marquee needed changing once a week, leadership seminars had to be attend- ed, and teachers had to receive rememberances on their birthdays. The officers met at least twi ce a month with Student Council Sponsor Francene Maulding during which everything from the next dance to a Jello slurping contest in the North Cafeteria was discussed. Vice Presi- dent Todd Davis commented, Though the meetings were loosely organized, believe it or not we actual- ly got work done. While meetings might seem to be a waste of time to some, they were necessary to the Student Council.

Younglife members tried to create fellowship and fun. Students gathered each Mon- day night in the North Cafeteria, organizing activities which in- cluded skits and sing-alongs. Lisa Michelle, representative of the nationally based program, hoped the meetings would enhance stu- dent life by studying the Bible. The first Younglife get- together brought as many as 140 students, many of whom bought t-shirts with an emblem similar to the popular Hard Rock Cafe design. Later in the year, an average of 60 people attended meetings. Close to 40 students went on the annual ski trip to Winter- park, Colorado. While in the mountains, students sleighed, ate pizza, danced, shopped, played ice hockey with brooms, and skied. Summer trips to Colorado Frontier Ranch and a proposed trip to South Carolina were of- fered as well. Nathalie Gil, Debbie Cober, Cheryl Sloat, Kelly Nevil.

I cannot believe that I am saying this, but Crest has gone ahead of schedule, quip- ped Advisor Johnny Heard. A dramatic change had occured from the years past when the staffs school week often became Monday through Saturday night. The shot heard ' round the journalism room was the start of a revolution. This revolution was ignited by a predominately novice staff, which Editor-in- Chief Cristina Absalon described as . . . young, but learning quickly. Other returning veterans included Editors-in-Chief Toby Richardson and Jim Jarrell. The common staff writer became an impor- tant part of the entire pro- duction process. Now, writers found themselves responsible for entire layouts and the actual stories. The new process entailed lengthy lectures and formidable tests. Darkening the bright prospects of a near perfect year, the actual yearbook sales plummet- ted from years before, and a second sales cam- paign was employed in the spring. ■-« ■ fc i S i w-jiirtikMiJ.- -«t K Rusty Wilson calculates Jeff Faeth ' s headlines for proper placement in the yearbook. Staff memben were responsible for drawing the layout, writing copy, writing headlines, and writing captions foi the pages which were assigned to them. Photographers took care of taking the pictures, while the photographs were selected by editors. p iofo by Rhett King Collaboration proved to be the key here as Editors-in-Chief Cristina Absalon, Toby Richardson, and Jim Jarrell develop the top secret sections of the an- nual.

Miller Staff Works as Team Mary Wells With the start of a new year, a fresh MACazine staff began their work, but unlike years past, the new group proved to be different. This started at the top with a definite set of unique editors: Becca Bengston, Troy Grumbine, and Chris Tatum. The positive incongruity trickled down throughout the staff, which staff writer Brian Wish described as ... a diverse coalition working remarkably well together as a team. These dedicated personalities added a new flair to the paper. With an office decorated in partial Wall Street ticker tape and first grade snowflake design, the editors sparked creativity which spread throughout the jour- nalism room. Another creative venture produced stories far beyond what had been writ- ten before. Not on- ly did a new thorough quality arise, but writers escalated beyond the usual topics to subjects that cap- tured vital com- munity interests.

Receiving three pages to complete for each yearbook deadline seemed an easy assignment, but production workers soon found out that pageg were more easily assign- ed than assembled. The editors laid down the law — the check- ing process was tough. I ' d think I had my page perfect, and zap— it was back in the stack to be fixed. We had to get a page done, and get it done right. explained Blake Bozman. Lines had to be perfectly straight. Picture areas could not have ragged edges. Margins had to be consistent. And, the entire page had to be devoid of dirt, grime, and glue. With a 15 member male staff, all work and no play would make a dull crew. Often, layouts were set aside for play and rap sessions resulting in Saturday work-days to catch up. While play was not en- couraged, it was necessary due to the tedium involved in the duties performed by the staff. ■ 1 ' W.|jj ' , feyj i 1 Tv B w vl I.

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays the cadets got to school before the sun to run four miles. On Tuesdays and play. The Fort Sill Military V y Thursdays the Rifle Team also began workouts early, and after school the marks- men practiced until 5 pm. This schedule paid off at the Dallas Naval Air Station Fit- ness Contest, where the ca- dets placed second. Every Friday command- ers planned extra activities.

As a dress rehearsal, the cast presented the produc- tion to the student body. Members also found time, between rehearsals and building sets, to have an ice cream social at the beginning of school.

This year, however, was different. We changed the outlook of the club. Thespians, an advanced group of dramatists head- ed into a new direction. The club competely chang- ed into an active, hard-working group, Sophomore Brian Utley explained. Thespians made a statement this year by participating in more social events. To be considered for the group, an initiation process was necessary. Ten points had to be earned by perform- ing various tasks such as working back stage, taking part in the annual Haunted House, or performing in one of the Drama Club ' s productions. Having earned their points, students found it to be prestigious to become a member. The Haunted House was held at the Golden Triangle Bowling Alley, and earned money for the organization. Junior Casey White reported, The Haunted House was a good effort, and we were satisfied by the money it brought in.

Striving to be the best. Cardinal athletes fought and struggl- ed through their respective sports in an at- tempt to obtain status as the best. From football to swimmmg. each competitor ex- perienced the ups and downs of athletic rivalry. At times he or she felt the triumph and joy of victory. At others, they suffered through the mental and physical anguish of defeat. In any case, these athletes shared a common goal: to make the playoffs, to be number one. After taking first place in all but one meet, the Cardinal Wrestlers once again participated in the regional tournament hosted by MacArthur. To continue the win- ning trend, the team captured first place with 11 members taking individual honors, ten of whom received first place in his respective weight division. The men then flew to El Paso to contend in the state tourney. The Cards wrestled their way to the ultimate achievement. For the first time since 1982, the men snatched the state championship. Junior Brad Knouse took first place in his division, as well as being named Wrestler of the Year. Knouse com- mented of the honor, It was the greatest feeling in the world. I didn ' t feel like I had worked so hard for nothing. Hopefully, I ' ll do the same thing next year. In addition to Knouse, Seniors Shannon Ward, Scott Collins, and Faye Barnett received second place honors. For the Boys ' Soccer Team, taking the district championship paved the road to the playoffs. In bi-district competition, Mac rolled over the Denton Broncos, winning, 4-1. The Cards then travelled to the Gopher Bowl, defeating Arlington Lamar, 2-1, in area play. At the Regional Tournament, MacArthur advanced through first round play by sailing past Arlington Heights, 3-0. However, the Cardinals suffered a 2-1 set- back against Highland Park in the finals of the tournament, thus eliminating all chances of advancement. Senior Derek Ozymy refelcted, We were disappointed when we lost, but we were happy with the season. At least we got the chance to go to the playoffs. We were pretty satisfied. Seven team members qualified for the All District Team, with Seniors Kris Hender- son, Ozymy, and Darrin Hedges receiving All State honors. To top it off. Coach Johnny Fazekas was named District Coach of the Year. By placing second in district, the Girls ' Soccer Team also qualified for a spot in the playoffs. However, the Cards fell to Arl- ington Martin, 2-1, in bi-district competi- tion, ending all hopes of continuing the season. Seniors Jill ' Vance and Jeannie Hartman, along with Sophomres Yun Chung, Tammy Roseberry, and Michelle Goodson achieved All District status. For the second year in a row, the Varsi- ty Football Team reached the playoffs after inching into second place in district standings. With a score of 14-11, the Cards edged out the Trinity Trojans in the final six seconds of bi-district action. MacArthur then faced Witchita Falls in Grand Prairie to vie for the area title. The Cardinals, however, fell short of victory, 22-20. On completion of its season, the Track Team sent four of its members to the regional meet in Lubbock. From the Boys ' Team, Senior Chris Tatum qualified in the 400 meter run by placing second in the District Meet. Junior Richard Denny also received second place in the pole vault, sending him to regionals. For the girls. Senior Cheryl Sloat travelled to Lubbock to compete in the shot put after winning the gold in district action. In addition. Junior Amy Richardson took second place honors in the 400 meter dash, qualif :( for a trip to the Panhandle. Unfortunk ly, none of the members advanced to l| State Meet. In continuing its winning tradition, i( Tennis Team once again earned pla}J status. In the fall during team competit: ' i the netters captured second place i district, landing them a position in :i Regional Tournament. However, the Ca i fell short of advancing to State.

After another successful season, the C dinal Swim Team sent ten membersj Fort Worth ' s Wilkerson GreiiS Natatorium to compete in the Regioi Meet. Although ten swimmers placed ' their respective events, none qualified a trip to State. Senior Bill Woods, thou, enjoyed a trip to Milwaukee to particip in the Junior Olympics. At the end of ; season, the team elected Michelle Earl! Swimmer of the Year. 1 Capturing second place in district la ed the Gymnastics Team a position in i Regional Meet. Senior Beckey Phillips vanced to Austin when she took fourth a sixth in bars and beam, respectively. D. ing practice, however, she sprained 1 ankle, thereby eliminating her from bea competition.

I S njuries 9 low R earns T Sandra Clutts While most students slept the ear- ly part of the day away, the Girls ' Cross Country Team woke up, dur- ing the week, before the sun to prac- tice for Saturday morning meets. The Boys ' Cross Country Team, however, waited until after school to sweat through rigorous practices. In addition, several of the runners ran on their own time. At 6 am the girls, coached by Judy Blaylock, stretched and ran a distance of two miles. Blaylock stressed good citizenship and con- duct for her team and, if the girls received a B in conduct, their punishment was to run extra miles during practice. The team made their debut at Cedar Valley and finished the season at the District 8-AAAAA meet held at Mountain View Junior College where they placed third overall. With a full team of seven, Susan Taylor placed twelfth, Cindy Brinck took fourteenth, and Freshman Stephanie Jones follow- ed with fifteenth place. Freshmen played a positive role in the team as Taylor commented, This year we had Freshmen run- ning Varsity and that was a big step for them. Without the underclass- men, we could not have done as well as we did. This year we had Freshmen running Varsity and that was a big step for them. Without the under- classmen, we could not have done as well as we did. Susan Taylor, Senior Several injuries prevented three girls from participating. Julie Camp- bell had shin splints, Gayle Youngblood doctored a pulled hamstring, and a foot injury kept Amy Richardson out of several meets. Taylor hurt her ankle, but continued running. Youngblood commented, It would have been a better season without all the in- juries. Taylor added, We improv- ed a lot during the season, but we were not quite where we used to be two or three years ago. It will take some building back up again. Coached by Johnny Lowe, the Boys ' Cross Country Team prepared for their six meets by run- ning to the University of Dallas on Mondays and Wednesdays and practicing at the track on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At the five member team ' s first meet at Fort Worth Country Day Junior College, Jim Jarrell placed fortieth while Eric Olson sprained his ankle after tripping over a rock. At another meet Jarrell came in forty-ninth out of 240 runners while Kevin Clyde, Keith Mortenmaker, and Brad Hagarbome followed. Later in the season, Jarrell join- ed Olson on the injury list. He had his entire forearm encased in a cast to protect his broken thumb. With three uninjured runners re- maining on the team, the prospects for them were rather bleak. They continued to run with little hope for the rest of the season, while they looked toward next year when Olson and Jarrell would join the team again and new blood from the junior highs would be added. 9 1 258 cross country ' Cross Coun- ty was fuiif but hariter than r pected.

Even with lese factors to discourage them, both sets of runners id not waver in their determination to continue with mning— both in daily practice and meets.

Even though the scores were n( impressive for the 1986 season, the team looke toward 1987 with a positive attitude. The reason fc this existed in the fact that the Irving Independer School District had at last instituted a volleyball pn gam in the junior highs.

Next year should be better, because only two seniors will graduate. The Cardinal Volleyball Team lost a number of players during the season due to various conflicts. One team member quit because of her work schedule, another moved out of the district, and two failed academically. The district season lasted two months, from mid-September to late October. The Cardinals finished with a 1-13 record. A summer camp helped the players get in shape, with practices beginning the se- cond week in August. After school started, the girls met at 7 am and held afternoon workouts on Thursdays. Shannon Small, one of the outstanding Other schools still took the advantage, because they began even earlier than the eighth grade. Traci Benesh, Coach players of the year, commented, This year ' s team always gave 100 percent and never gave up. It was hard, however, to keep up with the other teams ' more ex- perienced players. Other standouts includ- ed Nancy Maltuka, Krisla Paddy, and Shannon Anderson. Maltuka received All District Honorable Mention, while Paddy earned Second Team ALl District and Rookie of the Year. Anderson won the team ' s Hustle Award. The Irving Independent School District instituted a volleyball program this year at the junior high level. In the past, the team had been at a real disadvantage, because many school districts in the area began their volleyball programs in the eighth grade. Some even started the girls playing at an earlier age. This gave these teams more experience, which made the Irving teams more vulnerable. Benesh noted, Other schools still took the advantage, because they began even earlier than the eighth grade. With the addition of volleyball in junior high, at least the team could look forward to girls coming in next season with one year ' s playing experience. With the season behind them, the girls began planning for their main social activi- ty. After making a site selection, the team held their yearly banquet at the Kobe Steak House m Dallas. c .A - a ' ii l o ' V- i x ' . ' ify volleyball 261 Pre-season started off byr defeating Highland Park. JCepeat Jr erformance Lori Hunt With pre-season football rank- ings breathing down their necks, the Cardinals set out to repeat last year ' s state playoff performance. Winning two of the three pre- season games motivated them toward what they hoped would be another few trips to Texas Stadium and the state title. The 1986 Varsity Football Team consisted of 5 sophomores, 17 juniors, and 38 seniors, all of whom began practice on August 28. For four hours, s ix days a week, and during the hottest part of the summer, the Cards ran, lifted weights, and drilled plays. We put a lot of effort into sum- mer practice in hopes it would pay off during the season, remarked Senior Junior Morales. Opening the season with a big bang, the Cardinals defeated the Highland Park Scots in a 10-7 vic- tory at Irving Schools Stadium. ' ' We put a lot of effort into summer practice in hopes it would pay off during the season. Junior Morales, Senior Although the score revealed only one touchdown, MacArthur swept the Scots off their feet. Toward the end of the game, Kris Hender- son launched the ball 18 yards through the goal posts, giving the Cards their first win of the season. Momentum trom defeating the Scots helped Big Red to crush John Tyler, 31-12. Enduring a long road trip to play MacArthur for the first time, the Eagles return- ed to their own city with a loss in hand. During the second quarter, Darren Arterbury and Reggie Finch each crossed the goal line, while two more MacArthur touchdowns and a Henderson field goal wrapped up the victory. Coach Johnny Lowe expressed, I had high expectations and an op- timistic view of the team, but that win was more satisfying than I had hoped for. A large number of MacArthur fans went out to cheer the Car- dinals, yet many were disap- pointed at the unexpected loss to Richardson ' s Berkner Rams. The Cards came alive in the second quarter with quarterback Toby Richardson sprinting 45 yards for a score and Trey Shoemake dar- ting 25 yards for another touchdown. Finch and Brad Knouse also contributed to the final score, 41-36, but MacArthur got the short end of the sco re. We worked as a team and tried our best, but we made too many men- tal mistakes to be able to win, remarked Sophomore Ross Ronan. .

Of course, there were those players who got a lot of newspaper coverage, and deservedly so. It was not that they went out Dn the field seeking this notoriety. They got it for various reasons. Unsung heroes, on the other hand, were chosen for their attitude to win rather than to achieve self- recognition. They were so important to the team, added Overton. Offensive heroes were Billy Hood, Eric Melton, Kevin Holm, and Ben Phillips. Of- fensive linemen, even though they played a lot, did not get noticed much. Jeff Limon, who played offensive tackle, did not play a lot, but he was really good on the scout team, Overton complimented. Mike Green, Paul Howe, Rod Niemuth, Michael Spain, David Velarde, Mike Ed- wards, and Mike Watson played defense. Of- fensive kickers were Limon and Mike Lof- tus, while Scotty Edwards and Junior Morales played defensive kickers. Kickers did not get much recognition, although they were one third of the team. A kicking game could win three or four games a season, Overton remarked. There were a lot more young men who were unsung. We could not have had a good team without them. They understood how important they were to the coaches and the entire team, Overton concluded. varsity football 263 Above: Standing on the sideline, Aubre Smith ex- presses his disagreement over a controversial call with a teammate. p jo o by Lisa LeVner Above Right: Sitting on the bench between plays, Drew Randall, Aubre Smith, Terry Burnett, and Mark Gipson listen to Coach Don Lockwood as he gives them instruc- tions.

Several players wore special clothing or did the same thing, the same way for each game of the season. Before the game, I did the exact same thing, confessed Junior Brad Knouse. I stretched a little, put on some pads, then I did the same stretches again, in the same order. I did this before every game for the entire season. On the bus going to the game each team member had what they considered their own game seat. These places were guarded by each individual for the short trips to and from Irving Schools Stadium just as they were guarded on the long hauls out of the district. Each player sat in the same seat dur- ing the entire football season. Senior Trey Shoemake also repeated his good luck action by wearing wristbands dur- ing every game. Hillman Johnson always had a brand new towel before the games. | These traditions did not just start this foot- 1 ball season. Some of the seniors had begun i their traditions when they were playing on i the Freshman Team. Some even began back E in junior high. While no one can say whether or not these actions had any effect on the win loss record, the players were adament in their practic- ing their own good luck ritual. Wins and losses may or may not have been connected to superstition, but why take chances. 264 varsity football ▼ ■ ' f W 1985 District Champs defeated in first game. D uels SetP abe Marion JarrelJ District duels in September set the pace for what would be an upredictable, yet ex- citing varsity football season. The first district game saw the Cards dominate the 1985 8-5A Champion Gophers in a 42-7 rout at the Gopher Bowl. Reggie Finch scored his first of three touchdowns after Kris Henderson recovered a Gopher fumble. Drew Randall got into the action with a 25 yard reception for another touchdown. Trey Shoemake darted 21 yards to score, following Mel Lemane ' s recovery of yet another Gopher fumble, and Toby Richardson also scored two touchdowns. The following game between Mac and Nimitz took an unexpected turn. The 17-14 loss to Nimitz was disappointing and we didn ' t think it could happen, expressed Randall. A Viking 49 yard field goal stunn- ed the Cardinals and finalized the score. A week later the Cards rebounded to defeat DeSoto, 27-0. Mac ' s first shutout came in rainy, windy weather and helped celebrate what have been a very uncomfor- table Homecoming. Everything worked for us. We really demonstrated our ability to push the ball over the goal line, commented Sophomore Brad Cusack. Filling in for an injured Finch, Darren Arterbury successful- ly scored twice. We played with lots of energy and excitement, hop- ing that we could continue with the same attitude and make it back to the playoffs. Quincy Edwards, Senior The next game brought MacArthur face- to-face with their arch rivals, the Irving Tigers. Large crowds from both sides saw the game begin with an Irving fumble on the opening kick-off which set up a Richardson score. MacArthur continued scoring in the second quarter with Brad Knouse darting up the center for a 40 yard touchdown. Arter- bury followed with a 19 yard run pushing the Cardinals into a 28-0 lead just before the half. The second half saw MacArthur con- tinue to dominate, as Richardson scored two of his four touchdowns. The Cardinal defense held fast to Irving ' s offense as the Tigers only crossed to goal line once, leav- ing MacArthur with a satisfying 42-7 victory. Quincy Edwards summ.ed up, We played with lots of energy hoping that we could con- tinue with the same attitude and make it back to the playoffs. varsity football 265 Regular season play ends with big upsets. S tate In Si ght Tad Johnson Regular season play ended for the Varsi- ty Football Team with some of the biggest upsets. The Cardinals lost to South Grand Prairie, but crushed Mansfield and upset district-leading Duncanville. Mac ' s loss to South Grand Prairie devastated Cardinal fans because it made playoff chances appear to be slim, if not im- possible. Late in the race, Mac remained tied for second place with Nimitz and SGP, while Duncanville emerged District Cham- pions. The kids underrated South Grand Prairie and were not mentally ready for the game, explained Secondary Coach Rick Rose. Turnovers put the defense in a bind because SGP started with the ball inside of our 50 yard line several times. The kids underrated South Grand Prairie and were not mentally ready for the game. Turnovers put the defense in a bind because SGP started with the ball inside of our 50 yard line several times. Rick Rose, Secondary Coach Though the Cards were picked to win the Mansfield game, a 48-9 Halloween night massacre spooked Tiger fans. Mansfield never threatened a lead, as they were continually overwhelmed. Tightend Drew Randall explained, We were coming off of a big loss, so we were hungry. Undefeated Duncanville, with nothing to lose but their pride, planned a sweet revenge, after Mac had k nocked them out of the playoffs in 1985. The Panthers hosted the Cards on their own turf in a new, sold- out, 10,000 seat stadium. Duncanville ' s 21-19 Homecoming loss to the underdog Cards capped off the season, with both teams ad- vancing to the playoffs. In order to get into the final race, two teams, Nimitz and South Grand Prairie, had to lose to or time cross- town rivals and did. What first appeared to be virtually impossible became reality as the Cards were once again playoff contenders on the road back to Texas Stadium and the coveted state title. This was the second year the MacArthur Cardinals had reached playoff status by chance. In 1985 they thought their chances were over after an unexpected loss to Nimitz. As it was, it seemed the cards were in their favor, just as they were in 1986, because through unexpected and surprising circumstances the Varsity Football Team advanced to playoff status both years. 266 varsity football tFor seniotSf this was pro- bably the last time we d play foot- ball, Ned Delane, Senior photo bji Lisa LeVrier Above Left: Ned Delane, Rusty Benton, and the rest of the defense await the oncoming Witchita Falls Coyotes during the Area Playoff GameJphoto by Brett Munro Above Center: Backed up by Chris Par- shall and Jason Lowe, Marty Molina squares up the opposing receiver. p iofo by Lisa LeVner Above: Before the Trinity game begins, John Bryan looks over the playing field at Texas Stadium.

Sophomore Wingback Sam Elder explained, We played many good games we should have won, but lost on our fumbles, fouls, interceptions, and other careless mistakes. Coach Ray Overton divided the JV players into two teams for a few games so that the sophomore and junior players could get more experience before playing Varsi- ty. As an added bonus, the JV players suited up for varsity prac- tices before the bi-district playoff game at Texas Stadium. Tightend Mike Martin offered, We had a fun season and enjoyed ourselves. We played many good games we should have won, but lost on our fumbles, fouls, interceptions, and other careless mistakes. Sam Elder, Junior Overton and Coach Davia Halbrook, who were pleased with the JV team ' s performance, both said that the JV program helped players because they received more experience and natural foot- ball instincts were developed before they reached the varsity level. These men, along with the other coaches, had the foresight to know that all the talking and lecturing would not make a football players. That young man had to get on the field and experience the game. That was what Junior Varsity was all about— experience that would gain them a spot on the varsity squad. Even though the win loss record was not what the team and coaches had hoped it would be, many th ' ings appeared to have been accomplished during the .season. It was because of these ac- complishments that Coach Over- ton concluded, Our playing and technique improved as we went along. Right: Roddy Lawson braces himself to block any L.D.

In the heat of summer, from 11 am to 1 pm, the first year Cards took on exhausting workouts preparing themselves for their first high school football season. The prac- tice sessions continued when classes began and were held after school, with Saturday mornings included into the schedule. After pre-season play, the White Team stood with a 1-3 record. Reflecting on the season, Tightend Jeff Anderson commented, We maintained a strong determination in order to finish the the season on an up note.

A 6-20 loss at the hands of the Irving Tigers proved disappointing to us, but the guys kept their fighting instinct alive, stated Coach David Hodgson. The White Team met the Tigers in a tight game, ending a scoreless tie. We may not have won, but we didn ' t let them score on us either, ex- plained Linebacker David Warren. On a brighter note, the Cardinals ' en- thusiasm boosted the players to win over Duncanville when a handoff, received from Quarterback Kenneth Melendrez to Tailback Sammy Leija in the last 17 seconds, resulted in a 97 yard touchdown. White Team Quarterback David Hancock cited, We had an enc ouraging season in that we improved every game. I ' m looking forward to future years with this team as we progress from here through Junior Var- sity and on to Varsity. Most of the players on the Freshman Team had been on a team in junior high. Even though they went through this ex- perience, they all agreed that the high school method of practicing and playing was quite a bit different than what they had had in the past. Junior high football was a piece of cake compared to what we went through during practice and play this season, admitted Josh Coker. tf i i freshman football 271 Above Left: Senior Cheryl Sloat out- maneuvers a Grand Prairie Gopher as teammate Tracey Draper prepares to assist her.lphoto by Melinda Price Right: Senior Debbie Cober outjumps her Garland opponent as Senior Natalie Gil anticipates the ball ' s arrival to her.lphoto by Melmda Price Above: The Lady Cards offer support to Junior Rhonda Holland as she rushes to the basketball court.

Her face held an astonish- ed expression •when she hung up. After eight years as junior varsity coach of the Girls ' Basketball Team, Oelschlegel final- ly signed as head coach of the Lady Cards. She returned to Irving where Athletic Director Hobart Lytal informed her of former Coach James Peugh ' s decision to take a vice-principal ' s job at Crockett Junior 272 girls ' varsity basketball High. Oelschlegel remarked, I was shock- ed, and I was happy. No, I was ecstatic. This was what I ' d been waiting for. After signing the necessary contracts, Oelschlegel began fulfilling her obligations as head coach by assisting on the Grand Ir- ving Prairie Summer League. Most of the girls found out about my job during sum- mer league. They were real supportive and happy for me. Coach O kicked off the year by instituting rigorous pre-season workouts. Senior Kel- ly Nevil related, We ran and ran and Practicing was a lot tougher than it been. I guess it helped us in the long because we were in good shape throug whole season. Overall the Lady Cards ended with i season record and a 11-3 marking district play. Oelschlegel commented, had a great season. We got a lot of tl accomplished. I got the chance to g know the girls.

T I earn Anvokes Mr ear F Amy Richardson Going through pre-season with a 14-1 record and winning the Grand Prairie Classic, the Varsity Girls ' Basketball Team, coached by the new kid on the block, Suzy Oelschlegel, entered district play apparently feared by their competitors. Oelschlegel was not exactly new to the girls or MacArthur. Prior to Coach James Peugh ' s departure during the summer, she had served as the coach for the junior varsity squad. As a result of her record and rapport with the girls, she was the logical choice. We had a great pre- season. The team came together like a family and everyone became a lot closer, working for the same goal. While we missed Coach Peugh, it was great working with Coach O. She really pulled us together and made us work toward the belief that we could do it again — get into the playoffs and try again for the state ti- tle. Debbie Cober, Senior Starting pre-season by outplaying the Trinity Trojans, 39-36, the Lady Cards went on a winning streak in- terrupted only once in the finals of the Everman Tournament by the Haltom Buffaloes. During their pre- season play, the Cards also outhooped Sam Houston, 54-41. A fter proving themselves superior to L.D. Bell, the Cards went on to beat Garland, 62-15. Lake Highlands and W.T. White also pro- ved to be worthy competitors, but did not stand a chance. Returning starters from last year ' s state bound team Debbie Cober, Laurie Olson, and Cheryl Sloat, along with first year starters Natalie Gil and Rhonda Holland, ended the Lady Card ' s pre-season ranked first in the district. We had a really great pre-season. The whole team came together like a family and everyone became a lot closer, working for the same goal. While we missed Coach Peugh, it was great working with Coach O.

Cober and Olson were noted for their play by being selected on the Pre-Season All District First Team. Entering into the first game of district with a district win over the Mansfield Tigers, 65-26, the Cards set a good foundation. The new coach, the returning girls, and the new ones had proved themselves to be more than just a cut above the rest of the teams they had encountered.

Determination! Delight! Disgust! The toss of a basketball generated a continuous emotional roller coaster rode by the Varsity Girls ' Basketball Team during the 1986-1987 season. Disgust! Holding true with past seasons, the elusive Duncanville Pantherettes slipped through the hands of the Lady Cards into vic- tory on several different occasions. Our losses to Duncanville really kind of stood out and botched up our otherwise good season, Junior Rhonda Holland regretful- ly remarked. Determination! Acting as head coach for the first time, Suzie Oelschlegel held tight to her faith in the Cardinals ' abilities. I knew as long as we kept plugging away, we would have a good season. The girls all had fantastic potential and knew they could do it. Deter- mination payed off in the form of an 11-4 season record. Our Josses to Dun- canville really kind of stood out and botch- ed up our otherwise good season. Rhonda Holland, Junior Delight! So the roller coaster continued. A win against the South Grand Prairie Warriors in the last regular district game push- ed the Cardinals toward the ride ' s highest pinnacle. A combination of scores by Debbie Cober and Laurie Olson set the stage for Natalie Gil ' s winning free throws, which provided the Cards a 58-56 victory. I was praying to God I was going to make the free throws, remarked Gil. Answered prayers induced shouts of triumph from the entire team after her remarkable ' , highly pressurized accomplishment. Disgust! After all the determina- tion and delight encouraged the girls toward the expected climax of their journey, another ex- perience of disgust abruptly end- ed the adventure, leaving the girls with a kaleidoscope of memories and mixed emotions concerning their year ' s efforts. For one evening the kaleidoscope was held in the hands of the Nimitz Vikings. A disappointing 41-40 loss in the district playoffs won Nimitz the coveted second place district title, and MacArthur the end of the fight. Cober summed up the events of the evening, With only two seconds left in the game, Nimitz scored. By that time, all we could do was watch. The game, the season, and our experiences as the Lady Cardinals were over forever. Far Left: Two points!

E xpectations J pset Laurie Olson and Ctiris Thomas With a perfect pre-season record, the Junior Varsity Lady Cardinals showed the opposing teams who was boss early on. With numerous victories, the Cards went into their first district game with high hopes. High expec- tations were upset, however, with the first loss of the season against Duncanville. Then, after soundly defeating the Nimitz Vikings, Irving later overturned the Cardinals by a small margin of eight points, with a final score of 49-41. Christie Pitts explained, We accomplished a lot by not dwelling on our losses, but going on to the next game with even more determination. While this was not easy at all times, we really tried to practice this philosophy. After the disappointing losses, the Cards found it in them to win the majority of the following games. They discovered success against Grand Prairie and crushed the Vik- ings in a home game. Next, the Car- dinals conquered South Grand Prairie and Mansfield with ease. The team upheld their winning reputation by defeating Grand Prairie, and mutilating Nimitz once again with a stunning score of 48-19. They followed these outstanding ac- complishments with a triumph against DeSoto and trampled South Grand Prairie for the last win of the We accomplished a lot by not dwelling on our losses, but going on to the next game with even more determination.

Under the coaching of Paula GiUiland, these 12 players left the majority of the opposing teams with losses. I really appreaciated Coach GiUiland being there to help us beat most of the tough teams. Even though it was her first year at MacArthur, she did a great job, ex- claimed Krisla Patty. The girls finished a satisfying season with 16 wins and 4 losses. GiUiland was offered the position of junior varsity coach after Suzie Oelschlegel moved up to head coach for the Varsity Team. The girls found her to be a capable, hard working coach. Above Left: Wendy Sturdy steadily maneuvers around her opponent in hopes of making two points for the team.

S tream F Mary Wells Though the winning numbers did not ap- pear, the Freshman Girls ' Basketball Team contained all the right elements needed for a successful season. Enthusiasm, dedication, diligence, drive, and, of course, talent ex- cluded from the novice players. The only problem to be found lay in the point system. Somehow, the MacArthur girls did not rake in the same amount of points with the same amount of work as their opponents. We always had such a good time, so losing wasn ' t too bad Julie Prince, Freshman The season started off with a fountain of hope as the girls took second place at Hurst- Euless-Bedford Tournament and continued along the good stream by capturing the Irv- ing Tournament single-handedly. Problems arose as the district action slow- ly froze the fountain of hope into an iceberg of disappointment. The Duncanville Pan- therettes handed the Lady Cardinals not on- ly their first district game, but their first district loss. Bouncing back, though, the girls annhilated Lancaster by a score fo 42 to 30. But, the season did not take an upward turn from that point, as midway through the girls broke their streak as a depressing 34 . point loss to Nimitz plummeted their hopes. On the whole, though, the girls found the season to be a profitable one as Julie Prince remarked, We always had such a good time, so losing wasn ' t tbo bad. Like all in-coming ninth graders, the girls had adjustments to make after moving from junior high school to MacArthur. This was a difficult task made more difficult by walk- ing into an athletic program that did not allow them to play around. While those who were on the junior high teams received a great deal of experience, it was a different type situation than what they found in high school. Even though it was a tough first year for the girls, the team prospered— even though the records did not show it. Under the leadership of Coach Betty Dorsey, the girls began workouts soon after school started. Formal practice began shortly thereafter. The girls learned and re-learned about their stamina, while determining which game strategies to use at which time. With the season over, the girls continued working in off-season practices as Coach Dorsey prepared them for their next move. Most of the girls would advcuice to the junior varsity squad and begin their sophomore year in the fall. 278 girls ' freshman basketball Far Left; Julie Cahill, Lisa Castillo, Nicole Morris, and Trina linger create a wall of defense against the Viking invasion.

Two consecutive losses against North Mesquite and Piano East snapped the pattern un- til the men rallied to defeat crosstown rival Irving Tigers with a score of 51-49 in tournament action. At the Greenville Tournament, the Cardinals narrowly defeated Newman Smith before losing to Richardson and Lakeview. At the end of pre-season play, MacArthur broke even with a 7-7 record. Junior Gus Weinhold commented, This season was very good to us. We worked more as a team this year, so we played better. I felt pretty good about it. Pre-season play was considered to be a most important part of the varsity basketball year. It ended the time of practice and only practice. Now was the time for the team to perform and show if the practice had been worth the effort. New strategies were tried out. Starting players were determined— some new moved off the bench; some old moved to the bench. It was a period of testing. District games were just around the corner. These were the games that would count, where trial and error could no longer be tolerated. Tournaments were much the same, but in some ways gave the team a better opportunity to ac- quaint itself with what they would be facing during the district portion of the season. The reason for this was that many of the district teams would be met during the tour- naments. In this way, the team could view the opposition and determine their methods of play. This information would be in- valuable when these teams would be met later in the year in games that would count toward playoff chances. With pre-season and tournament time at an end, the Boys ' Varsity Basketball Team was better equip- ped, through both wins and losses, to meet the challenges of the district season. Not only was the team bet- ter prepared, the coaches were bet- ter able to aid the group in what they were about to face. « • 280 boys ' varsity basketball Above Left: Senior Doug Weisbruch attempts a lofty jump shot against an Arlington opponent during pre-season play.

His style, his :itude, his enthusiasm summed up in a igle word— Tiger! Born Darren Baker, dubbed Tiger by his her, Baker participated in sports early and irned to take them seriously. He played seball and football through junior high, t concentrated on his real love, basketball, on entering high school. Basketball was I only sport I could dominate in. The lers— I was just a player. In basketball, I was the leader, Baker explained. His en- thusiasm was not, however, always an asset to the team. Baker has been known to tackle op- ponents on the court, argue with officials, and even go as far as to throw punches. Coach David Myers quipped, Most people thought Tiger had a bad attitude because he got so upset. He didn ' t have a bad attitude. He was just so competitive that he would do almost anything to win! When he was fairly controlled, he was a coach ' s dream. In the past, it was not unusual to see out- ward and sometimes vocal displays of disgust over an official ' s call. More than once Baker was slapped back with a technical foul for such behavior, but with age he matured. Myers added, He decided he wanted to be an achiever and a leader on the team. He set a good example for us. Baker emerged the sole leader on the district runner-up team in 1987. He remark- ed, I liked leadership, it made me want to do things harder and better. boys ' varsity basketball 281 |f ' -X ' i ' Vi Above: Jumping for a possible score, Sophomore Brian Zvonecek attempts to avoid tile block by his Arlington opponent.

R ecord isleading ♦ Jana Wickham Although the Boys ' Junior Varsi- ty Basketball Team jump-started the season with a 50-39 over Burleson in pre-season play, the guys appeared stalled for the re- mainder of the year. Wins, spread thin throughout the season, proved essential to the spirit of the team. After suffering a crushing loss to Richland, the team rallied to beat the Rebels, 53-47, in the Lamar Tournament. We beat the stuffing out of them, exclaimed Coach Marvin Daniels. Intra-city rivalry came to a balance as the JV conquered Nimitz in a closely contested, double over- time game, but were overcome by Irving in a valiant, but successful ef- fort. Armando Garza, scoring a game high 26 points, initiated the last minute basket to defeat the sur- prised Vikings. Further competi- tion within the city surfaced in the Irving Tournament as the Cards participated in the Consolation Championship. Our record did not do our prac- tice and hard work justice. It was frustrating to wake up every morn- ing at the crack of dawn to be here for practice and stay after school another two hours and work our tails off for what appeared to be lit- tle or nothing, Sophomore Rod Blake wailed. The 7:30 morning workouts and daily two hour prac- tices in the afternoon served only to benefit the players, however, as the Cards ended the season with a disappointing 4-10 district record. Although we didn ' t win many games, we learned a lot about com- peting just for the sake of competi- tion, Daniels explained. It was the opinion of all the team members that their efforts were not proven by the scores. It did not ap- pear that this was a sour grapes at- titude, but one of confusion of work- ing hard for a goal and not achiev- ing it. It was a fact the boys diligently worked out prior to and during the season. It was a fact they had deter- mination, exemplified by the fact their practices were difficult and in- tense. Without the determination, they would have given up early in the season. It was a fact they had talent. Without this element the Our record did not do our practice and hard work justice. It was frustrating to wake up every morning at the crack of dawn to be here for practice and then stay after school another two hours and work our tails off for what appeared to be little or nothing. Rod Blake, Sophomore team would never have been able to win eight of their games. While the spread of the scores sometimes was only one, at others it climbed to 12 points. What happened? Better teams? Maybe! Immaturity? Possibly! Whatever the reason, the boys suf- fered one defeat after another. The only consolation they had was that the season ended and some of them could move on to Varsity. boys ' junior varsity basketball 285 Freshmen struggle through the first year. B Eric Taylor Though struggHng through a tough first year in high school, the Freshman Boys ' Basketball Team maintained a positive at- titude and outlook throughout the season. Kenneth Melendrez commented. We didn ' t do too great this season, but we got to work on a lot of basics. Besides, the main idea was to have fun. In pre-season play, the Red Team suf- fered minor setbacks until rallying to edge out Marcus with a score of 32-30. Even though they ended with a 1-7 record prior to district action, the Cards kicked off the regular season on the right foot by outscor- ing the Nimitz Vikings, 53-48. Kevin Miller related, I felt really good to beat Nimitz, since they were in the same city as us. We needed this win to boost our spirits. Mac hit another slump before rolling over Mansfield, 63-53. After completing district with a record of 2-12, Coach David Kuyken- dall expressed, I thought we got off to a slow start but improved as the season went along. At least it gave us a chance to work on fundamentals. ' It felt really good to beat Nimitz, since they were in the same city as us. We needed this to boost our spirits. L earned I Kevin Miller, Fre shman MacArthur ' s White Team also met with many trials and tribulations. In district ac- tion, the Cardinals eliminated the South Grand Prairie Warriors with a score of 46-85. Later, they labored to defeat Grand Prairie, 34-29. Overall, the White Team finished with a 2-19 record. Coach David Hodgson related, Neither of the teams did that great, but we saw definite improve- ment trhoughout. Hopefully, the guys will be pretty much prepared for the coming years. Difficulties during the first season were expected, though. Freshman teams have usually had a rough time putting everything together because of first year hassles, such as starters in junior high who had to sit on the bench during their first season in high school. Fortunately, the team learned to work more as a unit as the season went along. Freshman Joe Shelley remarked, Once everyone knew everyone else, then we started looking more like a team. It was hoped the team picked up enough know- how during the 1986-1987 season to ensure them spots on the junior varsity squad in 1987-1988.

After losing the past four years by a combined total of six and one-half points, the Wrestling Team regained the state title after losing it in 1982. Winning the crown as little sur- prise, however, since the wrestlers were ranked number one throughout the season. They, recorded a 17-0 record in dual meets and qualified wrestlers in 1 1 of the 13 weight classes for the State Tournament. Coach Terry Knouse boasted, This was the strongest team I have had in my five years at MacArthur. Four members of the squad qualfied for the championship matches at the State Tournament, but only Junior Brad Knouse re- tained his state title. Shannon Ward, Fay Barnett, and Scott Col- lins all finished second in their weight classes, yet were keys in T akes T itle helping to win the team cham- pionship. Fourth place finishers This was the strongest team, overall, that I have had in my five years at MacArthur. Terry Knouse, Coach included Junior Evan Littlejohn and Senior Bill Fletcher, while Freshman Rusty Wilson finished sixth in his weight class. Hard work and practice were the keys to remaining unbeaten this year. Littlejohn related, Coach Knouse knew how to win and he tried to teach us how to be winners. Practice began bright and early, usually at 7 am and it continued until 7:45 am. During these morn- ing workouts, the wrestlers alter- nated between working on weights, running, and jumping rope. Workouts did not stop here, however. Beginning again at sixth period and going until about 5:30 pm, the team was forced to stretch and strain again. Three times a week they faced the dreaded Knousercize, a series of exercises put to music and developed by Coach Knouse. Barnett relayed, Knousercize was like a bad dream come true. Pulling weight was in effect throughout the season. In order to stay in their weight class, team members became victims of crash diets to keep them eligible to wrestle. Several solutions arose to the problem of losing weight quickly. Wrestling in plastic and jumping rope in a hot shower enabled wrestlers to lose a few pounds, ounces in some cases, rather quickly.

If these sentiments were not uttered from any of the tired bodies under the stress inflicted by a merciless newcomer, then the bodies were too ex- hausted to speak. Starting off the 1Q86-1987 season, the girls ' soccer program once again received a new coach. Leaving the Southern Methodist University staff. Rick Rose came as an American History teacher and took on the first-time task of coaching ladies ' soc- cer. During pre-season workouts the team was whipped into shape through several grueling training sessions. Apparently these practices worked for the girls, who finish- ed Q-2-1 in district play to clench a playoff spot. We looked forward to hav- ing the Duncanville game at the end of the season because it gave us some- thing to build up to. Jill Vance, Senior My hopes were to turn the program around from last year. I wanted to work the girls hard in preparation for district competition, explained Rose. I wanted to build some character and unity among the team. The girls worked hard for me and I was quite pleased. Opening the season with a strong win, the Lady Cards downed Grand Prairie, 4-0. After a tough rally to draw with Duncanville, 1-1, the team edged by Nimitz with a 1-0 win. Next, the girls raised their confidence by present- ing Irving with a nightmare 6-0 loss. Com- ing off such a high scoring win, the team slipped a little, barely sliding by Grand Prairie, and then losing to Nimitz. The Cardinals kicked off another win- ing streak, defeating South Grand Prairie, and rolling over DeSoto, 4-0. Once again the Cards crushed Irving in preparation for another duel with Duncanville. Whether it was for extra credit in Rose ' s class or just to be a loyal supporter, large crowds turned out to cheer while the ladies fought hard toward the championship. We looked forward to having the Duncanville game at the end of the season because it gave us something to build up to.

M et Sandra Clutts The Boys ' Soccer Team kicked off the season at the pre-season Ir- ving Shootout Tournament and cHmbed to the semi-finals, only to fall at the hands of Nimitz with a 2-1 score in finals competition. Nimitz and Duncanville surfac- ed as fequent and fearful foes as the boys played each team twice. Early in the season they rolled over the Panthers, 3-2. After fighting one battle, MacArthur generated a series of wins which preceded their only district loss against Nimitz. We started to get nervous towards to end of the game (South Grand Prairie) because we needed a goal. I knew we could pull through if we pulled even. Greg Strowd, Senior Tempers were high when the Cardinals returned to play the Panthers a second time. Captain Darren Hedges attempted to discuss a play with a teammate, but the referee intervened. Coach John Fazekas tried to explain the situation, consequently, he and Molina were dismissed with red cards. The team edged by 1-0, despite the loss of coach and cap- tain. Later in the season the team showed no mercy when they trampled Nimitz once again, 3-1. The win put them in first place, opening the door for a spot in the coveted playoffs. South Grand Prairie also caus- ed the boys to sweat a little, but Greg Strowd scored a game-tying goal with five minutes left to play, evening things up at 3-3. We started to get nervous towards the end of the game because we need- ed a goal. I knew we could pull through if we pulled even, Strowd explained. Several players suffered injuries during the season. Rob Woodard doctored bruised ribs after a col- lision with goalie Derek Ozymy. Khris Henderson hobbled on a sprained ankle, attempting to par- ticipate in games despite some discomfort. Henderson succeeded in scoring an admirable total of 12 goals during regular season games. MacArthur finished district with 7-1-1 in league play and advanced to playoffs. Fazekas remarked, The team played well this season. We had a few close calls, but never a major setback. Our goal was the playoffs and we made it. Right: Aiming for the penalty box. Mid- fielder Darren Hedges puts his boddy behind a throw-in.

For the sixteenth consecutive year, the netters captured the city title and also continued a 12 year claim on the District Crown. The team competed in five meets on their way to the City Tournament at Irving High School. Junior Brad Woy com- peted as the men ' s top single seed. Woy faced teammate Eddie Chang in the finals. Chang, a sophomore, routed the second seed from Irving High, for a shot at Woy. Woy ' s experience paid off as he triumphed to become city champ. The men ' s doubles team of Seniors Jim Lapp and GregCor- ry was also victorious at the City Meet. Corry remarked, This was my best year of tennis and I will never forget it.

Peden and Jahnke finished second at Ci- ty, while Moss and Coy also com- peted and qualified for spot in district play. The District Meet, held April 10 and 11, showed off Cardinal talent once again. Woy emerged as the singles District Champion. He ex- plained, I felt pretty good going into District, but I felt super after winning it. The Lapp-Corry com- bination earned runners-up honors and a shot at the regional title. The Yandry-Brock team placed third in District. Brock explained, I had not planned on playing doubles this year, but David and I played real well together. The women did not fare as well as the men. The Peden-Jahnke and Moss-Coy teams both lost in first round play. The regional competition prov- ed extremely difficult for the Car- dinal netters. Woy, who did not pass the first round, expressed, 1 felt real sluggish, and I did not play at my best. I felt really honored to be there, though. The Lapp-Corry team failed to advance to the second round. To keep in shape during the season all the players worked out on a daily basis.

F ourth In R Lon Hunt Led by four veterans, the Golf Team putt their priorities into place as they dominated district competition for the third year straight. The season began as the team competed and captured first in the Bear Cat Invitational held at Las Colinas Country Club. We were somewhat disappointed with se- cond place, because we won first last year. We were still pleased with the team as a whole, ex- plained Senior Joe Russey. During the fall season, nine holes were played each day at L.B. Houston, Bear Creek, or Las Colinas Golf Courses. Fridays were left for perfecting skills on the driving ranges. Spring brought with it more responsibility and practice time, as a full 18 holes were played each day at 2:30. Most days we were not off the course until 6:30, but our hard work paid off when we won first in the Richland Tourna- ment, stated Senior Alan Wood. Russey placed second with a score of 75, II ' ' Most days we were not off the course un- til after 6:30, but our hard work paid off when we won first in the Richland Tourna- ment. Alan Wood, Senior Grand Prairie ' s Woodcrest Country CLub hosted the Car- dinals ' District 8-AAAAA triumph on April 6 and 7. Thomas Gutzke took second and Wood fourth, which qualified them for All District. With District under their belts, the team, consisting o f Seniors Jeff Bell, Gilbert Milen- drez, Russey, and Wood, Junior Gutzke, and Freshman Ron Red- din, ventured to Lubbock over Spring Break for three days to put each other to the test. Coach had us practice against each other up there before Regionals to help us improve. We had a lot of fun in Lubbock and had a chance to get use to the golf course, remarked Bell. Coming egion in fourth was not upsetting for the team because they were happy that Alan Wood progressed to the State Finals with a score of 69, 69, commented Coach Coy Williams. Morris Williams Golf Course in Austin, Texas, was the site of the State Meet on May 14 and 15. The tournament consisted of the top golfers from over 500 schools in Texas. Wood came in eighteenth out of 45 golfers with a score of 78, 79. Under House Bill 72 ' s ruling, athletes could only miss a certain amount of days from the classroom to participate in athletic events. A total of eight days of school were missed so the team could participate in tournaments. Without these days off from class, the team members would have had no chance of participating in the sport on a truly competitive basis or being seen for considera- tion for college scholarships. Grades, of course, had to be main- tained in order for the members to keep in good standing and be able to play. ■- ! 296 golf Left: Senior state competitor Alan Wood watches the ball in hopes of sink- ing the final putt of the day at L.B.

All F Marion Jarrell To many MacArthur students a swimm- ing pool brought to mind thoughts of sun- seeking relaxation, but the Varsity Swim Team sacrificed the fun element in dedicating themselves to a competitive season. Practicing at the Northlake Natatorium under Head Coach Austrums Zidermanis, the team prepared for the season by swim- ming an average of three miles a day. Beginning before daylight, the swimmers endured practices that consisted of timed laps, flip turns, and various entries into the water. Returning at 4:30 each afternoon, the team repeated the process til 6:30. This year the team worked more efficiently in that it got longer workouts in less time. Coach Zidermanis explained, I felt if the students could work their hardest in two hours, rather than playing and working for three, we could make more progress and were rewarded this technique. The three Irving high schools combined to form one team for joint competition at all home meets. Since there was only one swimming facility that met the standards, and one coach to instruct the members, the students from the different schools acted as though they were from one. The team consisted of freshmen, sophomores. or O ne juniors, and seniors. The seniors, being more experienced, showed the freshmen the ropes in practices and during meets. We liked to help the coach out by taking care of the little ' fish ' , stated Shawn Oldham. When invited to swim at invita- tionals, district, and regional meets, the swimmers competed as individual schools. It was fun to meet other schools ' swim- mers, but tough to go up against them in certain meets, explained Senior Michelle Earl. I felt if the students could work their hardest in two hours, rather than playing and working for three, we could make more progress with the time we had.

Beckey Phillips, Senior Each event featured at least two com- petitors from each school. Some gymnasts, called specialists, only competed in some events, while others performed all around. Ballenger, Senior Beckey Phillips, and Freshman Joanna Vandrasek competed in ' all events for the women ' s team, while Sophomores Leslie Brown and Chris Thomas excelled in the floor exercise. Brown also performed on the vault. Balance beam specialists included Freshmen Casey Burchett and Debbie Oldham, while Senior Janine Kraska channeled her energies toward the uneven bars. For the men ' s team. Junior Casey White excelled on the pommel horse, while the rings proved to be Senior James Hart ' s forte. Coach Jan Turner held practices daily un- til 4 pm at the Irving Gymnastic Center. The hard work paid off, as the women secured second place while the men cap- tured fourth at the District Meet. Eight women qualified for regionals with their performance at district, but only the top two teams and six highest rated individuals could continue on to the State Tournament in Odessa. Phillips ' abilities enabled her to qualify in two events at state, the uneven bars and balance beam. She exclaimed, I was real excited going into state, because it was the first time I qualified for more than one event. Early the first day of competition, the senior attained a seventh place standing on the bars. That afternoon, while perform- ing on the beam, she fell, injuring her ankle. Much pain and swelling kept her off the mats for the remainder of the tournament. Through the adversity, Phillips kept a good attitude, stating, Gymnastics has been good to me.

Junior Cindy Brink took home a bronze medal, while Freshman Stephanie Jones took home a fifth place in the high jump. Even though I did not jump my best. I was pleased with my fifth place finish, Jones remarked. Senior Susan Taylor, placing fourth, and Sophomore Shannon Maxwell, placing sixth, proved the Cards had what it took to go the distance in the 3200 meter run.

The 800 meter relay team, con- sisting of Unger, Ragsdale, Sophomore Stacey Jones, and Freshman Belinda Salvera, plac- ed fifth, but each girl performed to her optimum. Richardson, also running a 60.35 in the 400 meter race, put a run on for the title, but in the finish it was only a silver medal for her best time. I really worked this year, and put everything I had into the District Meet. Getting a silver medal was great, but the fact that I ran my best time made all the working seem worth while, ad- mitted Richardson. Marked at a 4:14.56 in the 1600 meter relay, Selvera, Estes, Ragsdale, and Richardson ran a close race, but ended at the finish line in fourth place.

U phill Nicole Morris At the crack of the gun, on April 4, the Cardinal Mens ' Track Team sprinted headstrong into an unfortunate season. Finishing sixth overall for the season, the team, as a whole, knew the year was un- successful. Junior Jim Jarrell relayed, I wasn ' t ashamed of our performance, but I was disappointed that we did not do bet- ter. Participatmg in several meets, the men finished third in the DeSoto Meet, and fifth at Carrollton. Competing at the Irv- ing Airlane Relays, the guys placed a disap- pointing sixth, though Junior Mike Ed- wards stated, Having the meet at home, and not having to host was exciting. I en- joyed it even though we didn ' t do well. As the season progressed, the team prepared for the district competition. On April 18, the Cards vied for a trip to Lub- bock and a spot in the Regional Meet. Junior Drew Randall recalled District was real tough. We were all real tense, and I was relieved when it was over. However, Mac only managed a sixth place finish. Junior David Pfaff elaborated, Even though we didn ' t place that high, we had a lot of fun. Besides, this was a good way to keep in shape. Coach lohnny Lowe commented, I s eason District was real tough. We were all real tense, and I was relieved when it was over. Drew Randall, Junior couldn ' t say that our team was successful as a whole, but I could say they returned as successful individuals. I would say that Chris Tatum and Heath Denney qualified as my most valuable runners this year. Ad- mire is the word for me, as I was very pro- ud of all my students and extra proud of the runners who ventured to Regionals. Tatum ran the 400 in District and Regionals, and he anchored the mile and sprint relays. Running the 300 and in- termediate hurdles, Denney progressed to Regionals in the pole vault competition. Junior Reggie Finch and Senior John Ferguson also went to Regionals com- peting in the 200 and the discus, respective- ly.

O ver T he S Eric Olson Steady pitching and consistent hitting combined to give the Car- dinal Varsity Baseball Team a district championship and a broken six year slump. A record of 11-2 was indeed enough for the title as the Cards were held up only twice, by Grand Prairie and De Soto. Duncanville remained a big rival and even prompted the team to don in- timidating T-shirts to encourage the spirit of the rivalry and sup- port for the team. Coach Carl Childers stated, I was real proud of the team and the job they did. They all worked hard and gave it 1 10 percent, which easily showed. Just look at our record! Cardinal pitching proved to be unsurpassable as Clint Davis, Tim Moore, and Scotty Gage each hurl- ed strike-outs for a steady season. With the continued rifling of these pitchers, MacArthur ' s opponents seldom hit for more than two runs a game. Davis commented, I had a real good season. It seemed like I could keep throwing strikes without much trouble. I hope Tim was real proud of the team and the job they did. They all worked hard and gave it 110 percent, which easily showed. Just look at our record. ' Carl Childers, Coach can continue to pitch well for the next two years. Moore earned run average was 1.37, which was lowered from last year ' s, helping the team move steadily through district play. Keith Williams had the hot bat of the season with a hitting streak leveling out at .475, leaving the op- posing pitchers dazed. John Mahalik also hit well with a bat- ting average of .343, while Chris Parshall had a .333. Williams remarked, Winning was great and the practices weren ' t that bad. The Cardinals were going lump strong towards the end of the season when tragedy struck. Dur- ing the Irving game, third baseman Greg Strowd collapsed and died. The team, as a group and as individuals, were greatly af- fected by the loss of their friend and teammate. The group, however, pulled together and con- tinued to strive for a good season after the Irving game was postponed. Davis, Parshall, Williams, and Mahalik all made the First Team All District, while Gage and Moore made the Second Team. With six players on district teams, MacArthur came close to dominating the honor team. I was surprised to make First Team District. I had ten errors, but I guess they were overlooked, Mahalik remarked. Opposite Above Left: First baseman Je ff Tillerson attempts to keep the runner near tfie base wtiile eyemg ttie next pitch.

A R Cristina Absalon and Greg Pletz A roller coaster season! First year Junior Varsity Baseball Coach Ricky French accuarately summed up the boys unpredic- table season. The team began practices in February. They started at 2:30 each day during sixth period and continued until just before dark. While the sessions were long and hard, the boys were hoping for great things during the year. Some of these hopes were realized in victory; others were dashed by defeat. The boys ' squad started off the year with a triumphant 6-1 win over the Sunset High Bisons. However, victory ' s counterpart, defeat, soon followed as the Car- dinals suffered consecutive losses to Arlington Larmar and North Garland. Feeling the heat of com- petition, the Cardinals bound the efforts together to pull out a vic- tory over Kimball High, 15-3. The sluggers then traveled into rival territory to upset the infamous Duncanville Panthers by a score of 5-2. Intra-city rivals, the Nimitz Vik- oiling S eason ings, proved no obstacle toward the end of the season as the Cards rolled over the Vikings with a 6-1 victory. The team, although, defeating tough, top-ranked op- ponents, finished out their season with a disappointing 6-14 record. Though the agony of defeat show- ed in their stats, the thrill of vic- tory raing through the minds of the players for their successful rival upsets. Coach French summeriz- ed, Considering that the team was still very inexperienced, I felt that we made an admirable show- ing. Considering that the team was still very inexperienced, I felt that we made an ad- mirable showing. Ricky French, Coach Top batters for the JV Team beheld catcher Steve Mize, first baseman Floyd Wright, and left- fielder John Williams. I thought our improvement showed through with every game, reflected Wright. Coach French elaborated, We had some good players on the team, who should do well at the varsity level next year. To start the year, the team set a goal to win the City Title, but fell short at the hands of the Irv- ing Tigers by a loss of 7-2. With this goal out of reach, the Cards felt determined to defeat rivals Nimitz and Duncanville, and did just that. A city title would have been nice, but I believed we did rather well anyway. We grew and learned a lot both as a team and as individuals, commented Freshman Okie Ramos. Soph- omore Mark Mayhew added, This season was vaulable in that it helped prepare us for next year. Players Mayhew, Miller, Jeff Sorrel, and Wright all advanced to varsity level during the playoff games to prepare for their ad- vancement the following year. Summing up the season, Williams stated, The season was a disap- pointment, but we gained the ex- perience that we will need to carry on a winning tradition. n 308 junior varsity baseball ■Wfjiy:X ' ■ •■ yemr.

Sidekicks of Trainer Justin Doc Walker consisted of 13 students from all grade levels, including four seniors, two juniors, four sophomores, and three freshrnen. New recruits were brought in from the junior high schools with recommendations from coaches. Applications were offered and in- terviews set up to determine who whould till the spots. Although we were from dif- ferent grade levels, we got along well and felt just like a family, stated Kaye Taylor. Summer ended early for the trainers. Football practice began in August, which brought the trainers to the aid of the team. All trainers were required to attend each football game. After football season, everyone was assigned a different sport for the remainder of the year. Grade level and experience took precedence in deciding which event each would take. Todd Bran- non, Kathy Zamorano, Tony Head, and Hillary Ferguson helped out with Varsity Boys ' and Girls ' Basketball, while Brian Miller, Tiffany King, and Tim Goff work- ed with the Junior ' Varsity Basketball Teams. Cristina Absalon and Taylor took both the Junior ' Varsity and ' Varsity Soccer Teams. Baseball was assign- ed to Roger Ireland, Charles McClure, and Ski Doss. Volleyball was attended to by Jen- nifer Morris. l e learned by hands-on- training and gained ex- perience as the year pro- gressed. Kathy Zamorano, Senior No matter what the sport or event, athletes were always replenished with water. Their ankles were taped, elbows ic- ed, and cuts cleansed. Under the supervi- sion of Doc, the sports trainers worked with students undergoing rehabilitation treatments. We learned by hands-on- training and gained more experience as the year progressed by working closely with Doc, explained Zamorano. Many different injuries from jammed fingers to torn ligaments were seen in Doc ' s office. Even students from other area .schools were sent to MacArthur to be checked out by Doc. I tried to see how many students I could keep on the field or in the gym without risking their injury or general health. Walker explained.
