A lot to live up to- Houston anopied by tall pines and oaks rests an area that many admire but only a few can actually own. The community of Memorial has survived the industrial boom of Houston by keeping its serene atmosphere and warm attitudes. Memorial's cul- ture and social graces progressed at the same rate as downtown Houston's constant growing skyline. The property owners range from high school graduates to medical and law school graduates. They have drifted here from other countries and states to take part in the pride and inner content- ment Memorial gives them. . These people are an unusual group who differ in many ways except that each has worked hard in his climb for success. His success has brought out a goal to be inherited by each resident. to make Memorial live up to Houston's towering culture. success and prosperity.

Houston - A lot to live up to'3 A lot to live up to- om unit ur parents formed a community where their children could have room to run and breathe clean air with no pollution. They built a society among intelligent people who breed goals and the potential to become somebodies. We were placed in a school district where busing was considered taboo and education was to be our lop priority. An education acquired from books, from acquaintances. and exposure to all types of social and cultural events was supplied. Two police stations and one fire station was sup- ported by the community to tighten security. Pre- vention of crime became important to Memorial because it wanted to protect the most precious belongings -its families and homes. Shopping centers and entertainment areas were in reasonable distances from the homes. Churches of all denominations stood within Memorial's boundaries to supply her residents freedom of choice. The streets were framed with side walks to pro- vide the large number of joggers and bicyclers safety. Exercise and health were important to everyone. Most of the community supported school's sports. plays. and other activities with enthusiasm. The spirit of victory spread throughout Memorial like wildfire leaving no one untouched. Our parents and the community they invented for themselves and their children was a personal- ized wonderland which produced people deep with emotion, intelligence and health. They were going to prove they could form a generation which had a lot to live up to. LORD AND TAYLOR, an anxiously awaited department store, was added to Memorial City Shopping Center to provide fash- ion and convenience for the community.

Every aspect of life was covered in Memorial High School to prepare her students with the capa- bility of making decisions and taking opportuni- ties. Memorial evoked pride. spirit and the want to work hard at an education, sport or a particular event which couldjustify saying Memorial is the best. we're number one. Memorial equaled many of Houston's private schools in academies. It excelled most of Hous- ton's private and public school in coaching and teaching staffs which produced winners in every field. 1 Q. Students knew how to play and have a good time with flair and excitement. They could partake in any activity and feel comfortable and self assured. Four years of experience in competing with the cream of society is Memorial's formula. This accounts for the reason why most of her students graduate with goals and potential to make it big in life. 95 percent of the graduating class continued their education. Our school. parents. community and city influ- enced us to look forward, to plan to make some- thing of ourselves. We had the ingredients to put our ambitions into action and the instinct which made tis work hard because we had a lot to live up IO.

'lr Ti ffl, as A T JJ' ,qw i Ex? yi T '-fha wi ,Q A lotto live up to- cia L fter a week of testing, late night studying and 7:55 a.m. to 3: l5 p.m. of desks and papers, all we could think of was what can we do this weekend? Weekends were our means of survival: having good times was our specialty. There was always a variety of amusements avail- able to Memorial students inside greater Houston. Concerts at the Summit, Music Hall or Hoffienz Pavilion, Rodeos and live stock shows at the Astrodome, clubs and discos off Montrose and Westheimer, and a mass of movie theaters and res- taurants were only a few of the attractions. The school presented plays by the Drama Department, choir concerts, and dances to raise money and entertain the public. The multiple clubs were active participators when it came to having fun while working to raise necessary funds for the needy. Parties every weekend kept our social lives swinging. They ranged from senior girls formals and proms to kicker dances, keg parties and get- togethers at Jack-n-the-Box and the Seven-Eleven store. Weekends also gave us the chance to get away from the super city's constant action and confu- sion. When warmer weather hit, groups of friends packed their cars with beach towels and coconut oil and headed for Galveston's coastline. Others camped out, visited friends at college or went to see the sights of the wilderness and other towns. Holidays meant extra celebration. Families and friends were tourists across the United States while Young Lifers participated in ski trips. Weekends, or holidays, no matter what the event, Memorial was full of gusto to experience the good times. We were always anticipating and rem- iniscing about our social events because it was that part of our lives that reminded us we had a lot to live up to.

The symp- toms are evident. the cases reach epi- demic proportions. Salt water, sun- shine. and total emancipation prove to be the only cure for this annual illness: Spring Fever. After l75 days of lectures. home- work. and tests. summer vacation relieved students of school responsibili- ties and provided time for enjoyment of hobbies. sun-bathing on the beach. and for many. participating in summer camps. No longer at the mercy of Mother Nature. campers had progressed from the easy to assemble pitch tent at scout camp to college life at accomo- dating universities. Markettes. cheerleaders. and jour- nalism students spent part of their vacations at various colleges to prepare activities for the following year. High kicks. pompons. and a constant trickle of sweat developed into a daily routine as Markettes marched over North Texas. Stephen F. Austin. and Southwest Texas State campuses at drill team camp. We practiced about I l hours a day. It was hard work. espe- cially climbing four flights of stairs to our rooms. said Melissa Bradley. But trophies. ribbons. and awards justified the time and effort that was put into each routine. Even though it was hard work it was worth it. We won a lot of ribbons. said Lis Scott. Three trophies of excellent performance were awarded to the Markettes with various ribbons won by individual girls. Competing separately in the out- standing category. Assistant Drum Major Kim Gantt received two ribbons while Betsy Howell won a ribbon in a leadership seminar. First place in medium group competition at South- west Texas State went to the Markettes. The 26 girls who attended won 5 group ribbons for pom pon. high kick. review, military. andjazz routines. Drum Major Rebecca Watts and Meredith Saunders were honored as All-Stars. Ribbons awarded for out- standing overall performance went to Elise Coleman. Laurie Jacobs. Barbara Reilly. and Cheryl Sumner. IO Making the most of it Depth design by Leslie Cowan As witness to the notorious college meal. Karin Warren eagerly returned for seconds at breakfast for another bowl of oatmeal generously endowed with milk and sugar. I asked the lady for seconds on oatmeal and she said what oatmeal? Karin pointed out the mysterious substance. The lady informed her that the delectable delight was gravy - not oatmeal. It was the best meal I had all week. Karin said. Strictly a no-frills affair. life at Ball State University Journalism Workshop was. in a word. work. We worked so hard I couldn't understand why I came. There was no possible way to do all the work. but we did it. said Susie Wood- hams. The necessary luxuries air condi- tioning. cars. and freedom were non- existant in Munsie. Indiana. It was hot as heck up there. It was so restricted that you had no way to en-joy the women. said Mike Jax. Cars were strictly forbidden on cam- pus. We got a car and snuck out one night anyway. said Marjianne Nelson. Otherwise you had to walk wherever you wanted to go. On the flight from Indianapolis to Munsie we asked the flight attendant if we could have eight seats together. He said that it could probably be arranged because the plane only seated I3 3 including the pilots. We did a lot of praying. said Susie. Layout and writing skills were divided into yearbook and newspaper section. I learned more about new- swriting because of the excellent teach- ers and the selection of students. said Bobby Lapin. The Superior Achievement Award of Excellence in Advanced News Writing was presented to the entire Memorial delegation at the end of the first week. Confirmed on page I3 PLANS FOR THE YEARBOOK were discussed by designer Cindy Peret and Managing Editor Kel- ley Gillum at the Southern Methodist University Journalism workshop.

BACKED BY THE MUSTANG MASCOT CHAMP, cheerleaders join the Band, Mark- ettes, school clubs and teachers in celebration during the Spring Branch game parade around the school. We were on a truck: we were just messing around, said Jett Pittman. Wranglers provided some motorized transportation for the cheerleaders and helped organize the parade. We were clapping with the band, said Andy Mears.

Photo by Trent Rosen- thal. uggit sm Continued from page 10 The Best Workshop Writer award went to Susie Woodhams and Marjianne Nelson for their achievement during the second week of yearbook instruc- tion. I think I benefitted the most from the pressure we were under, said Susie. Best Yearbook Theme was pre- sented to Gala Holt, while Bobby Lapin was one of five nominees for the John Butler Editorial Writing Award. Southern Methodist University also provided a Week's worth of lectures, paper production, and entertainment for other journalism students. I didnit learn too many new things but it broughtithe staff together and we got to know each other better, said Susan Murray. Memorial journalists partici- pated in the production of the newspa- per. Catherine Chriss received the Best Feature Story Award. Equipped with spirit, energy, and dedication, the 1977-78 cheerleaders flew to SMU for a week of competition and practice. We were all dressed in red and white matching uniforms so we told everybody we were a thumb wrestling team, said Rachel Lee. Gotta get that spirit stick kept the cheerleaders screaming and yelling all week. The stick was awarded to the most spirited group at camp. Memorial was one of the groups to receive the stick. We never got any sleep. One night we ordered a pizza and had it delivered to our dorm. It was past our 10:00 cur- few so we stationed someone outside to watch the guard. We had a code so we'd know when the pizza came, said Janice Webb. Living and working together for a week brought the cheerleaders closer together and enabled them to function as a team. Before the camp, we were not very well coordinated with each other, said Andy Mears, but by the end of the session, we worked as a group like we were supposed to. The best week of your life was Young Life's ambition at Windy Gap for 200 kids. There were about 45 kids from Memorial that went, said Young Life sponsor Nancy Henderson. We really hoped to make it the best week of their life. she said. Hondas, horseback riding, swim- ming, volleyball, mountain climbing and other activities provided recreation for the campers. We discussed things concerning family life and had camp speakers, Nancy said. Meeting people and dealing with the concerns of life were also camp goals. I met a lot of people. I had so much fun, said Susan Beamon. Windy Gap, far from roughing it in the woods, is known as one of Young Life's most beautiful camps. It's the most luxurious Young Life resort there is, said Nancy. Lodge-type rooms housed the cam- pers in North Carolina with excellent facilities and great food. It's just all you ever wanted from a summer camp, said Marianne Penny. It was really a super neat time. Probably anyone you ask will say, 'It was the best week of my life,' said Nancy. Sharing a bunk with daddy-long leggs, scorpions, and other miscellane- ous bed bugs, members of the Chapel- wood Methodist Wesley Choir spent a week of singing and worship at Rim Rock Ranch in Wimberly. I got to know more people from other schools who are in the choir, said Laura Elkins. Rising each morning to John Bone's trumpeted reveille, the campers began preparing anthems to be sung the fol- lowing year. It was hard work but we had a lot of fun. There was swimming, tennis, vol- leyball, and nightly planned pro- grams, said Annete Aitken. Between morning and evening rehearsals there was time for horseback riding, ping-pong, baseball, and fellow- ship. It was super, I learned so much from it, said Linda Wilkins. It was a blend of work and play that left you with a good feeling, said Belinda Baird. Hopes for a leisurely summer, swim- ming, surfing and sleeping were wishful thoughts back in May. But the What do you want to do and I don't know syndrome heard at the end of August brought that restless feeling again. It was time to put the experience gained over the summer into action.

We had short sleeves on and we had to walk back to the train station on the border of Czechoslovakia and Poland. said Susan Joachim. The students were not allowed to pass through Czechoslovakia to Austl ria because they did not have the neces- sary Czech visa's. We didnft think we'd need them just to go through, said Tracy Samuels. Earlier that day. the students had been sightseeing in Aushwitz. I think everyone was eager to get out of there. Everything was kind of drabg you could tell there was something different about it. Poland was so gray, a real downerf' said Tracy. The train station. a rinky-dink. four gray walled structure was far from inviting to the weary students, We walked in and all these Polish people just stared at us. The place was filthy. The floors were so dirty we had to sleep on top of our suitcases.

The leader of the group contacted the American Embassy, but it was an individual from the U.S. Trade Center that financed the students plane trip to Israel. Because Jewish education is based on Israel's history, the students hoped to learn more about the people and their lives. 'Alt was an opportunity of a lifetime. Itfs what our lives are based on. Ijust couldn,t pass it up, said Tracy. Aside from the accidental two day delay in Austria, the students spent one week in Poland and six weeks in Israel. Other events included camping out in the Sinai desert for five days and clim- bing Mt. Sinai. The students also enjoyed snorkling, touring, hiking. and visiting museums. It was all pretty exciting. I made the front page of the paper, too, said Susan. Several of the kids were crying when the guards were shouting stuff at us on the train, but I wasn't really scared. They weren't going to hurt us,- they just weren't going to help us, Tracy said. - 30 - STRANDED AT A POLISH BORDER STATION, Jewish students sleep atop their suitcases while waiting for transportation through Czechoslova- kia.

Supporting all the various clubs at Memorial could become an expensive habit. Funds were raised in many different ways and for a lot of different reasons. While most clubs raised funds to support club activities. others raised funds that simply sat in the treasury. CHEESE AND SAUSAGE ' Choir members sold candy at the beginning of the year to raise money for Vespers and for the bus ride to various places they went to sing. Thecandy didn't cover the whole cost though. so they had to sell cheese and sausage. also. Choir member Vicki Williams said. We sold candy at the beginning of the year for the Vespers set and bus ride but after Vespers was over we still hadn't sold enough 'so we sold cheese and sausage to cover the rest of the cost. ' Magazine sales helped to pay for broken instruments and many trips the band took. Each member of the band was given a booklet with ses eral well-known magazines and he sold subscriptions. The money we got from the magazine sale went to instrument repairs and supplies. The Symphonic band sold candy to pay for Spring tour trips. said Junior band member Debbie Hunt. Fluff. Samms.

Sigma Gamma girls had no fund-raising projects. Each! girl paid S12 at beginning of the year and that was all. We just paid extra dues so we wouIdn't have to do anything to raise money, said Sigma Gamma member Allison Anderson. - Apart from the normal candy and bake sales, some clubs had some innovative fund-raising ideas. A THE PARTY ' The Party? was a dance held by the Key Club. Good music and clever advertising helped' to make the dance a success and Key Club members raised a S100 from it. Vice-president of the Key Club. Greg LaSartre said, We haven't done anything yet with the money we raised from The Party but there are a few tentative things such as repainting the horses in the cafeteria.

'Making the most of it iddie shoes, Elvis Presley's death, the new Lord and Taylor, a peas- ant look, the old friends, a lost fresh- man, a haughty senior, fresh paint, a remodeled hangout and high hopes for a good year all accompanied students back to Memorial for another nine months of hard work and good times. Back to school was either a repeat of the last one, two, or three years or for some it was a brand new experience. Freshman Missy Chapman said, We have so much more freedom, like chewing gum in class and having coke machines. I love all the clubsf' said Zoe Snyder, and I think it's neat the way they mix the juniors and seniors and everybody? One year repeaters probably enjoyed being back to school more than anyone else. They were no longer fish It was all too tempting to flaunt their knowl- edge that there was no such thing as an elevator or a third floor swimming pool. Sophomores are the only ones who say, 'Ha, ha you're a fish,' said Freshman Monica Campo. Two year repeaters were in the mid- dle of the road. They weren't quite Useniorsf' yet but by far were not underclassmen. You have the superi- ority of an upperclassman but you still don't have the superiority of Seniors like one time we got kicked out of the student section at a football game by Seniors! It's nice being an upperclass- man though, said Junior Anne Wil- kinson. Coming back to high school for the last time were the seniors. Being at the top was a different but prestigious feel- ing. I feel real important now, but I'm scared of next year, said Will Worley. Susan Kaplan said, The only reason it feels different is because there's no sen- iors to look up tof, But Steve Stigall summed it up, Being a Senior is cool. Jack in' the Box, a famous hangout rn rm ttirinn -l for students who wanted a cheap night out, was remodeled. An inside eating place was added on and the traditional Jackfs head to give your order into was replaced by a giant Jack menu. The rusty walkway covering from the courtyard to the end of the boys gym was freshly painted with white paint. Even the poles holding it up had a new beige color. Other improvements were a new bell system, a new gym floor, a stereo in the cafeteria and after the first flooding of the Senior Parking Lot occurred, a drainage sewer was built. Later in the year, a 792 foot fence was put up around the school which caused controversy among students. While some felt it was nothing to bother about, others felt strongly against it. A sign was hung outside the red wing which read, MHS Peniten- tiary. Kevin Topek said, It is totally useless. It will not stop crooks. It will not stop people from smoking dope. Itfs ugly and I see no purpose in it. Parking was another issue on stu- dentfs minds. There were not enough parking places on campus and no one wanted to have to walk far. If they would take out the grass medians and if people would use the field house park- ing lot we wouldn't have any prob- lems, said Chuck Yeargain. Elvis Presley's death was a sad but true comment of back-to-school. Though only a few people at Memorial were really affected by his death, all knew who he was and had some appre- ciation of him as an artist. He died at the age of 42 on the night of August 16, of cardiac arrythmia. It's sad because he's from a different time than ours and I think he's better than some of today's stars, said Elaine Momburger. But the only thing that really upset me was how all the different Stories went around about how he died. - 30 - - Nancy Wright Making the most of it I7 if 1 . 5 'e 1 wx s.

Membership was small but the sessions were enjoyable and informa- tive. The Key Club, an organization dedi- cated to service in the community has made several worthy contributions to the school. Painting visitors parking spaces and the numbers l through 21 in the parking lot is one of the more worthwhile contributions. The most important and most talked about activ- ity of the Key Club was the Victory dances held after the Mighty Mustangs clinched the District title against Alief. Signs proclaiming lt is coming! adorned the school for at least two weeks before the event. The Mustangs coach. Les Koenning. even gave a small speech at the dance. Senior Mike Jax explained that the Key Club has declined in popularity since six to seven years ago when it was the most popular boys club in school. even more so than the Wranglers. He also said the club has gone down to next to nothing but he expects it to rise again during the next few years. Sponsored by organizations of busi- nessmen. the Key Club will probably last forever. Alley Starving and stray dogs and cats may not have had an abundance of friends on the streets where they roamed. yet they always had a home with the Asso- ciation of loving youth on the school campus. ALLY worked year-round with the Humane Society to protect all animals from starvation and loneliness. accord- ing to President Kevin McClendon. When the animals were found. they were taken to the school and cared for. in the hope that from there they would be placed in good homes where they were wanted. McClendon was assisted through the year by Vice-Presidents Robbie Paidis and John Davies. Treasurer Cathy Riley. and Secretary Browny Camp- bell. ALLY also involved others such as Book salesperson Kay Gromitsky. Phone Chief Debbie Doggett. Publicity Chairman Carol First, and Entertainer Nancy Christiansen. The true care and protection for the animals was provided by Advisers Mary Hall and Roberta Frame. Coor- dinating activities of temporary care of the animals was our main motive. said Mrs. Hall. ALLY often sponsored trips to the Humane Society and the Zoo for its members who were interested. The pur- pose of the trips was to help to collect food for the animals and learn more efficient mechanisms for care. - 30 - -- Bobbv Lapin ALLY, PALS, Key Club 23 P i ri?

Monday blues were often hard to forget until Friday afternoon. Many times people carried their Mon- day b1ahs around with them throughout the week. There were how- ever a few remedies for shaking off those Monday blues. Usually a devia- tion from the norm of the regular week- days was helpful. Young Life, a Chris- t1aI1 organization, provided an excel- lent medicine for the Monday blahsf' Each Monday night at 7:30 Young Life met at the Memorial Forest Club to sing, talk with friends and have a good time. Walkin', walkin', walkin' in the light sang out over a hundred students from Memorial. Singing, talking, laughing, being with friends, a little prayer and a little something to learn was what made up Young Life. Besides giving students a chance to learn about the Christian faith, Young Life pro- vided an outlet for students to have fun in a good, wholesome way. Sophomore Paul Bradfield said, I went to Young Life because it was fun and something to do during the weekf, After singing about five songs, a skit was put on by certain members of either the Sophomore, Junior or Senior Class. Then one of the Young Life leaders presented a lesson, usually rela- ting something in the Bible to today. Sophomore Kim Weller said, Young Life was a lot of fun. The last 15 min- utes they told you out of the Bible and you learned a lot. Campaigners was a branch off of Young Life that provided for a more in depth study of the Bible. Girls and guys met separately on Wednesday nights to learn about the Bible and discuss any problems they might have had. Cam- paigners was more for an advanced Christian - a person who wants to learn further than just the basics, said Senior Cindy Williams. Seniors involved in Campaigners had an opportunity to lead a Cam- paigners for eighth and ninth graders which was called Younger Life. This enabled students to share what they learned with the freshmen and eighth graders. Senior Sharon Pampell said, 'SI like what Young Life has done for our class and our friends. lt's brought us a lot closer together. Younger Life lets me share the same ideas with the fresh- men hoping that it can do as much for their lives as it's done for mine. Senior Nancy Ghormaley said, Younger Life is a real good opportu- nity to talk to eighth graders about high school and dealing with different things. - 30 - -Nancy Wright IW '19 I Nw fy i ,gigs .r Ei Break - a a Leaders, actions succeed nteraction between students, their elected representatives, and the administration was what the Student Council was all about in its quest to make students an integral part of the policy making process. The officers relied on the representa- tives just as the members also relied on strong, effective leadership. Council President John Landa felt that this combination was vitally important to success. and he was pleased with the results of the yearis actions. I had to make the Student Council my number one priority, and I sure did enjoy it, said Landa who presided over the more than 80 Council officers and representatives. Landa felt that the Student Council was a viable, working force for the student body, and added that many students tended to play down the importance of the Council. People thought the Student Council couldn't do anything, and they were wrong, said Landa. 'Alt was the responsibility of the students and the representatives to act, and we did it. The Executive Board of the Council met several times throughout the year in planning sessions, and they dis- cussed the objectives for the year, according to Landa. One of our main goals was to see if we could get a repre- sentative from the administration to help advise us so we would know where to channel our efforts, said Landa. It was important to know the administra- tion's point of view on our actions, he said. One very important thing that the 28 ' Student Council officers wanted to work towards was to keep our spirit going at all times. Landa continued. If we were to be as effective as last year, we would have to keep the representatives interested, and would have to maintain good proce- dure during all the meetingsf' Landa said he felt the restrictions on representation requirements were too lax. He felt that if a representative was allowed to miss three straight meetings, he should not serve because he would have missed too much. The rules should be changed not to be more stringent, but rather to make the Coun- cil more purposeful, they are there for a reason. Landa felt he had an outstanding board of officers, and was especially praising of Vice-President Jeff Stocks, who he felt was an integral part of the success of many projects, in particular the Homecoming Weekend. Jeff was my best worker,', Landa added, and he really helped make difficult projects a reality. When a conflict arose on a bill between Landa's conscience and the majority of the Student Council mem- bers, Landa said there was no question as to which way to turn his efforts. If something passed that I didnft like, I left my feelings behind and I worked hard for that bill. Landa felt that some of the most pro- ductive projects included the formation of a question and answer panel, the purchase of soccer goals, the Home- coming success, and the fund-raising for the Spring Branch Council for Exceptional Children. I really am thankful for the job, Landa reflected, because it taught me a great deal about organization, associ- ation with all sorts of people, and how to go about getting a lot of work done. -30.- - Bobby Lapin BESIDES SPONSORING THE HOMECOMING DANCE, student council members and officers have also raised money for exceptional children and sold Nautilus memberships.

Good Sports- manship League. and the politically oriented groups Youth for Political Awareness and Young Americans for Freedom. provided an outlet for special activities. Ski Club The newly formed Ski Club, spon- sored by Mr, Don Haynes, was created by Juniors Greg Stocks and Mark Mai 'just to go skiing. according to Stocks. Stocks said he wanted to go skiing but his parents didn't want to. so he thought of going with his friends and formed the club with the help of Mai. After gathering six other enthusiasts and Haynes, the group made plans to go to Colorado. The club met during the year and originally planned money- raising projects, but eliminated projects after they decided they 'gcouldn't earn enough money to make a difference, according to Stocks. Problems occurred when Stocks dis- covered the school wasn't willing to accept responsibility for the trip. We originally wanted to be school spon- sored, said Stocks. The club was not school sponsored. which created difficulties with giving announcements over the p.a. system. To assure Haynes that they wouldn't be liable for accidents. the members of the club signed medical release forms. The ski trip lasted from December l6 to 23. allowing six days for skiing at Keystone, Brekenridge. and Copper Mountain in Colorado. Stocks planned another trip next year with a bigger group. as he said that more people are interested. And. Stocks added. Mr. Haynes really wants to go back because although this was his first skiing experience. he liked it. Chess Club A more intellectual club. the Chess Club was formed years ago to further interest into the science of chess, according to Co-President Sophomore George Caflisch. Caflisch. along with partner Junior Miles Marks, Secretary Freshman Kermit Snelson, Treasurer Freshman Howard Holsonback, and approximately I5 members, planned and played games and discussed what's going on at meetings. Mr. Mike Saathoff sponsored the club. Due to the lack of experienced sen- iors and the abundance of inexperi- enced freshmen. Caflisch felt that the team's lack of participation at tourna- ments was not phenomenal. l'm sure this team over the years will become better and better. Caf- lisch said. Concluding that the team's good and bad years are like a cycle going on. Caflisch said that he just wanted to make Memorial a great name in chess. GSL Good Sportsmanship League. com- posed of four students at Memorial. promoted sportsmanship throughout the district, according to member Sen- ior Tom Bett. Discouraging vandalism at school and booing at sports events, members Bett. Senior Barbara Reilly, and Jun- iors Scott Bolding and Robin Rossy shared ideas with similar groups from each school in the district. GSL sponsored a district-wide dance for the basketball classic. Barbara said that she and the other members announced the line-up at bas- ketball games. Mrs. Mary Louise Rose was the group's sponsor. According to Barbara, the organiza- tion started in Beaumont after vandal- Fl ism became an extremely serious prob- lem. YPA Youth for Political Awareness. although formed last year by Jeff Rob- erts as a liberal political organization which supported Jimmy Carter, was now working towards improving school policy. according to Senior Tom Schomberg. YPA used to be a liberal organiza- tion. lt's now . . . an organization whose sole purpose is centered on polit- ical activism, said Schomberg. Since this year was an off year for elections. the club concentrated on school policy. Senior Jeff Stocks explained that this year the club tried to devise a mini- course system where seniors could earn college credit. Other activities included bringing an American Civil Liberties Union speaker to talk on campus. The purpose of the club was Hmainly to promote student awareness of what- ever's going on around them, politically and on campus, said Stocks. Adviser Mrs. Ann Nance sponsored President Bobby Lapin. Vice-President Jay Gross. Secretary Tom Schomberg. and Treasurer Kris Tita. YAF Another political organization. Young Americans for Freedom, based its philosophy on free economy, con- servation, and less government, accord- ing to President Sophomore Hans Graff. Although YAF was a small club. Graff said members worked in the Bris- coe campaign and that they might work on the congressional campaigns. Formed a couple of years ago, part of YAF's purpose was to inform and interest students in what was going on in politics. Graff said he hopes to get a Soviet dissident to speak at a meeting. -30- -.lacki Gvlb MEMORIAL CHESS CLUB MEMBERS ARE, FRONT ROW: Andy Getz, Ed Wakil, Laura Gold- berg, Joe Wakil, Kermit Snelson.

'glt was one of those clubs that was a challenge to get in. said Senior Heather Hindman. Only a certain percentage of students were accepted into the organization according to national regulations. It was an honor to be selected for the NHS, said Senior Tim Chapin. Led by President Tom Schomburg, Vice President Page Davidson, Secre- tary Tina Woodhams. and Treasurer Andree Joubert, the service club voted on projects to support during the year. The students tried to serve both their school and community. said Miss Domask. One service performed by the mem- bers involved visiting the Blalock Nurs- ing Home on several occasions. Some students played cards or sang for the residents. Senior Michele Hauser sketched portraits of the residents. I drew their picture then gave it to them.

I think the first trip we made to the old folks home, people went because they felt obliged but those who went again really got something out of it, said Secretary Tina Woodhams. Funds raised through candy sales and car washes were spent on various activities. 'gSome of the money went to picnics and parties for the members. But mainly, the money was used to buy the honor cords for the seniors who graduated with honors, said Treasurer Andree Joubert. October heralded the induction of new members to the NHS, Guest speaker the Honorable Frank Price delivered the welcoming address. Speeches depicting the standards of the NHS were given by the officers and the new members recited the honor society's pledge. -30- -Judi' Cleveland TRADITION REIGNS as National Honor Society President Tom Schomburg lights the induction candles.

The main objective of AFS is to pro- mote foreign exchange among high schools around the world in order to bring people closer together so that cul- ture could be better understood, said AFS President Charlie Stern.

AFS made most of its money through the AFS talent show. '4The talent shows was really not supposed to be AFS's main money raising campaign but it brought in more money than we had imagined, said Stern. We made one thousand dollars, twice as much as we made last year, said Stern. Ticket sales went really well mainly because the entertainment was good. Not every student was willing to give up four weeks of their long awaited sum- mer to travel through the backwoods and jungles of Bolivia or the mountainous terrain of South America. The trip was no vacation, for the members of Amigos de las Americas worked hard giving vital inoculations to the people of the villages they visited. Amigos De Las Americas is a co-ed non-profit organization that began as a church project in 1965. The Amigos send hundreds of young volunteers from all over the United States to Lati American countries with nothing mor than the bare necessities - sleepin bag, a few changes of clothes, and toothbrush. The Amigos began an extensive train- ing program in January. They studiec the Spanish cultures as well as the lan- guage, first aid, human relations, ano inoculation procedures. To get the proper technique of inocui lating down pat, the Amigos practiced or oranges. They also took many camping, trips to put their knowledge of the out doors to use. The Amigos spent four weeks of theil summer in the homes of villagers ir small Latin American provinces no because of pay.

AFS, Amigos ' 35 Break- a a Students reverse roles ot quite as drastic a change as Dr. Jeckel to Mr. Hyde, but every bit as revealing, interested seniors became part-time teachers during the latter part of each school day at nearby elementary and junior high schools. The Teacher Experience Program, a new program which allowed seniors to teach at schools, was a credited course that stemmed from Future Teachers of America. Mrs. Anne Hays, sponsor of FTA said the program helped teach understanding about what is required as a teacher and helped the students develop leadership and initiative. Senior Annette Aitken who taught kindergarten at Memorial Drive Ele- mentary School joined the program because, IFS a good opportunity to find out when you're young if teaching is right for you. Annette taught a math lesson every day and said she had a lot of responsibility. While I was teaching, the class was my class. I answered all their questions, she said. The 4'teachers changed classes each quarter to give them the chance to work with more than one teacher and more than one class,', explained Mrs. Hays. Mrs. Hays contacted the principals and the principals selected the cooperat- ing teacher. The students left for their schools after lunch and stayed until classes ended. lVIrs. Hays stressed that whatever the teachers did was under supervision. Michelle Graf taught kindergartners at Bunkerhill Elementary. When I went in there, I wasn't sure whether I could handle a big group of kids, said Michelle, who wants to teach pre-school or elementary school. It was a big ego-booster. They make you feel good, said Cindy Yates who also taught at Bunkerhill. They always said 'You're so nice! They made you pictures with 'I like you' writ- ten on it? Jean Ozda, who taught first grade, said they frequently gave her pic- tures, boys of robots and girls of prin- cesses. Known as Coach to their students, Seniors Craig Davis and Robert Jack- son were the only boys in the program. Davis coached basketball and football to sixth graders at Spring Branch Junior High. Jackson taught, among other things, square dancing to a co-ed class at Memorial Junior High. According to Robert, things are about the same as when he was there when it comes to square dancing. It's hard to get them to hold hands, he said, chuckling. - 30 - - Catherine Chriss ,.i, , ,.. . ,. ,- mf , A q 5 'PW . W.. .., 36 FTA 95 . MW...-rf av'-' ' sw.-.fa we' .... . ,, . -- .,. V -5, 1 .

A closer look how- ever, reveals a snake -bite, fortunately non-poi- sonous. Early evening at a local hospital: a female teenage student leams how to handle many crit- ical and simple accidents. Presently, she gains knowledge of what to administer for a snake bite. Although the two people may not have met to help each other, they still shared common tastes for both were members of Explorers, a branch of the Boy Scouts of America. One, however concentrated on the medical field where as the other focused on the wilderness. Medical Explorer Post 2355, branched at Rosewood Hospital, met at 7:30 p.m. every Wednesday, according to Treasurer Susan Schomburg. Members shared discussions with nurses, doctors, specialists and even a medical student at a typical meeting, Susan said. She also added that explorers ordered and viewed films about surgical processes. -To-keep the Post in financial well being, Susan also planned money making projects. Typical bake sales and car washes profited some, but perhaps the money was originally earned at a blood pressure clinic which the scouts held themselves at Memorial City. We practiced taking blood pressures for a few weeks, Caroline Magnier said, Then the night before we went to Susan's house to prac- tice more. After taking a rson's blood pres- sure, the club simply asked gi' a 506 donation. For interested future doctors, the hospital has arranged that explorers may work in certain departments voluntarily. X-ray, emergency room, physical therapy- and laboratory were some common stations at which explorers worked. l worked in obstetrics once too. Susan said, and l got to see a new born baby. 'study at Rosewood Future Doctors Wanting to acquire the ability to perform and administer medical needs, during the last week of November the Post arranged for a junior paramedic, Mat Woodruff of Westchester High, to come and teach a Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation QCPRJ course. lt took four hours and we just completed the whole thing at one meeting, Julia Browning explained. Members practiced their skills on a dummy for two hours after they were lectured as to what steps should be taken first, second, and third. After they wetted their tongues with the knowledge Lise Sveen found an opportune time to administer it. While waiting for her drivers test, she noticed a man collapse, and immediately ran over to him. HI just jumped over and gave him a heart massage for a couple of minutes, Lise said, and he revived. Seeking more instmction, members also asked Matt to teach them an advanced. Red Cross course. The post arranged to begin the program in January and lasted through the middle of March. They met on Monday and Wednesday nights 7-10 p.m. We were lec- tured during the first part of the meeting, Diana Prince said, then the second half we would use what we had Ieamed to apply particular band- ages as well as administer other things for first aid. After about 45 weekly hours, however, almost each member had learned the necessities to earn the actual certificates and identification cards. Also beginning at 7:30 on Wednesdays, Wilderness Explorers at Spring Woods Junior High Troop 2819 acquired the skills of backpacking and canoeing through taking lessons. Members focused most of their backpacking efforts to the annual trip during Easter'Holidays to Big Bend. These members used newly acquired Red Cross Canoeing certificates so they challenged the white rapids. Probably the best thing about this post is that they teach you before they take you out, Denise Doughtie said. For instance, on white rapids members were thankful for the teachers. and sponsor Mr. Howard John- son who had taken time to show every quick maneuver. Supplies on such trips consisted of one's own personal belongings. Some things were required, however, such as shelter. You bring your own tent, Lois Waggoner said, and you know how to put it up or you find somebody else who does. Finances came easy for members, however. This post was more organ- ized than any other, Patti explained. We worked at car washes, and had a lot of money saved up. Patti also added that because someone usually donated the gas, all she had left was a food fare. Denise echoed, I didn't have to pay one cent for what normally would have been a S20 backpacking trip. According to Denise, however, S20 would not have been a bad price either because the trips were so beautiful. - 30 - e- ,,.... U..

To raise money for the March of Dimes, several high school drama departments and key clubs created a special booth or room at an exhibit in Town and Country Village, according to drama teacher Mr. R. L. Cook. The drama students created a former clothes store into a gruesome torture chamber complete with a shackled man being whipped, someone being stretched on a rack, a cage where a girl reached out begging people to free her, and a person hanging in a noose. lt was the most acted room,', Mr. Cook said. The students did a profes- sionaljob of horrifying people. Visitors paid a contribution of S2 for adults and 51.50 for students to walk through and be greeted with screams and decorations such as the picture of a heart with a knife through it on a wall. I helped construct this particular room and stood around and scared people, Junior Paul Fromberg stated. HWe screamed and made ugly faces but it was a lot of fun and a good experi- ence. According to Fromberg an incident occurred when a man going through, the torture chamber pulled a knife on al girl. Both people left the chamber3 unharmed. l The March of Dimes was one of the' more worthy charities to do it for, i Fromberg said. Another project of the drama stu- dents was working on television. They presented a series of four to five shows to be presented on instructional televi- sion for thejunior high schools, accord- ing to Senior Melissa Heller. Starting in January, they rehearsed for shows doing such works as one whole fairy- tale to be used in a unit on folklore. Each student designed his own cos- tumes and sets. We're constantly busy, Melissa said. Drama students rehearsed two days out of every week for the televi- sion project, as well as doing the play The Glass Menagerie. entering a one-act play contest, and being involved in other drama tournaments. -301 A Roberla Diakum THESE GHOULISH LOOKING DRAMA MEM- BERS include Junior Betty Jackson, Joe Mal- ham, Karen Moss, Sophomore Tim Guince, and Junior Paul Fromber, and John Hanson.

Isolated from the rumpled, grimy world of aca- demics. the mellow orange walls of the choir room become an oasis of music. Director Coloma Lafferty works with four choirs daily ranging from baby choir with 30 girls, concert training choir, Chantelairs with 45 girls. and the Chorale. a mixed choir of 71 members. Concert choir is mixed with 35-40 girls and boys who feed right into Choralef, according to Lafferty. She works in that choir more on producing good sound so that when they get in Chorale she doesn't have to stop and explain, said Chorale member David Olive. Chorale, the top choir, has the same number of girls as boys. according to Junior Joe Corriere. I'm the one that balances the group. explained Laf- ferty. I try to do quality music. 1 Lafferty has spent I5 years teaching the do. re. mi's of choral music, which is. incidentally, a very fine place to start. In addition to choir, she teaches her students self-discipline and respon- isibility. according to Olive. Choir students had to attend Christ- mas Vespers, the Easter Concert. and two All-District Chorale workshops ,under the instruction of an Arkansas clinician. Chantelairs and Chorale combined their voices with other area high school choirs on February 3 and performed in the Spring Branch Com- munity Coliseum at the end of March. . ., W , , ..,i.,,.,,.,,..,,., . ., .. Religious music composed a large part of the choir students' repertoire. but few object because going into choir you know you were going to be singing that kind of musicf' explained Olive. MI can justify doing a lot of sacred music because some of the best music written for choir is written for the Churchf, states Lafferty. Performances at the Houston Cen- ter, the Galleria, a Channel 26 televi- sion show, and the Alley theatre on opening night kept the students busy between Vespers on December 17 and the Easter Concert on March 16. They also sang a traditional pre-Vespers con- cert at Spring Branch Bank and were the first high school choir to sing for the annual Christmas banquet at the Transportation Club of Houston. They usually ask college choirsf' says Olive, g'We sang some of our pop songs and some religious pieces.

The daily routine of note-taking, grade-making, equation-memorizing and teacher-pleasing is important, no doubt. But for thc majority of the students, events that transpire after the hours between eight and three prove to be the most interesting and the most memorable.

X By George Kiersted ' espite nearly endless entertainment possibili- ties in Houston, many students felt the desire to venture beyond city boundaries in search of fairs, cook-offs, exhibits and other activities of unusual nature. The places they wound up in var- iedg some were big cities, some tiny, some close at hand, and at least one in another state altogether. But wherever they were, the prime objective was to enjoy, experience, and, whenever possible, partici- pate. On the small end of the population scale there was Luckenbach. If they had given out awards a year ago for the town Least Likely to Become a Tourist Magnet, Luckenbach would have seemed a sure bet for the title. But with one Waylon Jen- nings' hit song, the three-man central Texas town came to symbolize back-to-the-basics simplicity, country style. It attracted thousands of curious vis- itors, especially in the summer and fall, the num- ber declining with the song's popularity as the year progressed. Dallas was one somewhat larger metropolis to sponsor a major out-of-town event: the -Texas State Fair, which ran from October 7-23. In its 92nd year, the fair attracted three million people to see its college football games, a rodeo, livestock shows, and food exhibits. The theme, The Great Food Round Up, was carried out to the fullest by hundreds of food and drink stands strewn about the grounds. While farm animals vied for ribbons in one arena, everything from quilts to preserves was being judged in another area, and at all times freak shows, rides and games of chance were carried on in the Mid- way. The '77 fair was considered by many to be one of the best ever. Junior Alex Na'rado said, I can't imagine a better one. It's great. Similar activities took place six miles north of Magnolia during October, when the Texas Renais- sance Festival plunged patrons five centuries into the past. The festival's stated goal was simply to recreate the festivals held in England and France during the thirteenth through the sixteenth centu- ries. The crowd at the festival found itself sur- rounded by strolling minstrels, the smell of turkey, fresh air. artisans, jugglers, peasants, noblemen, and even King Henry VII himself. Or, more accu- rately, George Coulam I posing as King Henry VII. The instruments played at the festivalgwere rep- licas of the instruments used in the Renaissance period. There were Krumhorns, wooden flutes, lutes, guitars, arched harps, and others. Also add- ing to the authenticity were Renaissance-style foods and beverages served at the fair along with some more ordinary American dishes. King Coulam stated, f'The Renaissance Festival began as a creative idea and it not only has histori- cal and educational value, but it wasjust a whole lot of fun for ye lords and ladiesf' Galveston was the hot spot on December 10, U.T.

They did a greatjob of making the atmosphere as it would have been in the time of Charles Dick- ens, said Kelly Truesdale. Freshman Joan Isensee remarked, Most of the ninth graders study Charles Dickens . . . and according to what we read that was the real atmos- phere. That's the way you think it was in Old Eng- land, especially with all those chestnut fires and hot wassailf' - In a similar historical vein, the priceless ancient objects discovered in King Tut's tomb drew some students as far as New Orleans. For the first time the Egyptian Government loaned the United States many of the treasures discovered in the tomb of King Tut. Chicago, New Orleans, Wash- ington D.C., Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York all housed the exhibit. Gold statuettes were found gracing all aspects of Tutfs tomb, including several of Tut himself. Many of the statues were of engraved gold, some inlaid with semi-precious stones. ffThe exhibit was really fantastic. All of the art- work was so advanced, detailed and intricatef' said Junior Colleen Blackwell. New Orleans caught Tut-mania when the exhibit began on September I5 and it took longer than January 15, when the exhibit closed, for it to recover. Tut memorabilia, from tee-shirts to pos- ters and jewelry, was sold in almost every shop in the French Quarter. For beer-drinking, fun seeking chili-lovers, state wide events tailored to their taste abounded. These included one at the state fair in Dallas, the Repub- lic of Texas chilimade state cook-off in San Mar- cos, the Seventh Annual Annie Oakley Memorial Chili Cook-off in Luckenbach, the Corpus Christi Chili Cook-off, and the biggest championship meet at Terlingua. Continued on page 54 Getting out of town 53 Two dAy Relief l 54 ' Getting out of town Continued from page 53 But the Pentathelon Cook-Off at Bear Creek Park was certainly the most popular for Memorial students and at least the closest. A tasting contest was held there to determine the best gumbo, stew, beans, barbecue and chili, but the spirit at the event was more toward having a good time than toward competition. There was a bit of the thrill of competition, but more so they were there to have a good time - to forget about the drudgery of work for a weekend and just have some fun, commented Senior Jan- ice Webb. Two of the other activities at the cook-off were a beer can emptying sprint, in which the fastest beer gulper downed his 12-ounce can of Schlitz in about 15 seconds, and a beauty contest in which both Janice Webb and Junior Ginny Henry partic- ipated. The winner was a little two-year-old girl, said Janice. It was kind of a joke contest - we had fun, though? JUGGLING, MAGIC, MIME AND COMEDY WERE PERFORMED by roving entertainers at the Renaissance Festival. Photo by Kathy Epps. THE SMALL ONE-HORSE TOWN OF LUCKENBACH grew to great recognition as a result of country singerfsongwriter Waylon Jennings' Luckenbach, Texas. Senior Mike Jax took a day to visit the little town. A ' if Qe..-:s- x xt I Reacting to more serious impulses, many seniors grabbed a preview of the four years to come by jtaking a college visitation, officially recognized by :the administration as a one day excused absence b l ut in many cases consisting of a trip of up to a 'week or longer. I just had to go and see Vanderbilt for myself, said Tim Purcell. After all my sister had told me lab ' ' . out rt, I had to get a first hand look for myself Purcell joined the list of many seniors who ven- tured out of state to check over possibilities for the coming years. li I went to Duke and was so impressed. It was ke love at first sight, said Terry Wood. Perhaps the largest in-state visitation day was UT Dayf' h eld October 22 at the University of Texas at Aus- tin. The Senior Office reported that an estimated 2 50 seniors from Memorial alone attended the day, sponsored by the admissions staff at Texas. For the average high school student who did .now know a great deal about the University of I went up to Texas not for the UT Day, but rather just to take off and see Texas on my own, said Rhonda Sands. Other attractions to universities also played an integral part in recruiting seniors for college. I was invited up for a weekend of parties and fun by Zeta Beta Tau, a fraternity on the UT campus, and it sure was appealing, said Gary Seline. I went up to UT to get a close look at the sororities there, reflected Michele Hauser. They do an awfully good job convincing you that Texas is the only place where you should apply. Once a year, Memorial hosts its College Night at which over 75 college representatives speak about their respective universities. I enjoy College Night, but therels nothing like going to see the real thing, explained Jay Gross. ,f'Before I went to Harvard for a debate work- shop, I hadnit really considered going there, but I ieally loved that campus and area, said Alan Par- ans. Texas, UT Day was beneficialf, commented Mark Reid. Some seniors took advantage of the day to see Texas for themselves, away from the crowds and the tours. Gary Casper said, There's just nothing like see- ing th e campus for yourself and then deciding what is really right for you in the way of a future. -30.- fr-'wwf' i .rub-.A QQ. .V 'hi ll., it wav' r 5 rwfrffif i USING A MIRROR Junior Kelly Galloway and Kelly Miner make sure they're perfect before they spend their money on a hair wreath,-a souvenir from the Texas Renaissance Festival held at Magnolia.

Photo by Trent Rosenthal, Nightlife 59 Housrolys pRidE By Bobby Lapin Historians and scholars will always marvel at the outstanding achievements of one of historyis greatest centers of cultural and philosophical freshness, the civilization of ancient Greece. Embodied in these Greeks was a zest for living life to its fullest, and there is little wonder that so many of the arts flourished in their day, and why not, for the Greeks were surrounded by an envi- ronment that offered the most elaborate cultural events of the era, and they merely had to join in the activities to become aware of their importance. This sort of environment offered culture, fun, and opportunity that allowed the Greeks to take their place in history as superior achievers. Just as the Greek civilization flourished with the arts, a vibrant, modern-day metropolis evolved to continue this ancient tradition. Houston, with 1.5 million inhabitants, barely allows its people to scratch the surface of trying to see and do every- thing in the city. Over 140 high schools serve over 250,000 area students, each with their own taste buds which can be satiated by this great city. Whereas most students thrive on music to live, walk, and dance by, Houston strikes a chord to suit everyone's pleasure. Classical lovers thrive on listening to the beautiful Houston Symphony in Jones Hall, and enjoy peaceful sidewalk sympho- nies in the early spring on the steps of the Ten- neco Plaza.- Opera lovers are annually treated to the renowned Houston Opera company, which recently won acclaim for its Porgy and Bess in early 1977. Equally outstanding is Houston,s pro- fessional ballet company which usually seats a full house for each performance. Concert patrons of a different kind, those who rock to everything from progressive country to punk rock were treated to an incredible billing of top performances at the Summit, Music Hall, and Hofheinz Pavilion. Houston, as a major stop on any performer's tour, brought in groups and acts to suit the pleasure of any avid music fan. The giant TV screens in the Summit provided the audi- ence with excellent close-up views of the perform- ers in action, and occasionally some of the audi- ence themselves in action during the breaks. Jack- son Browne, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Led Zeppe- lin, and even Houston's own Z.Z. Top continually return to Houston because, as David Crosby put it in the middle of his show, these are the nicest people around. Theatre took no second billing to music in Houston, and an equally varied group of theatre performances awaited all Houstonians who enjoyed such activities. The Alley continued to host the best America has to offer on a live stage, and this dedication to quality performance contin- ued all the way down to many various dinner thea- tres and small stages that scan the city. Echelon, a Russian masterpiece, chose to make its Ameri- can debut in Houston, and record crowds flocked in to applaud the Russians on a stage where poli- tics is unwelcome. Those who did not specify live performances were equally treated to Hollywood's best. and over 100 area theaters highlighted movies on their mar- quees from Star Wars all the way back to mar- vels like Casablanca and lt Happened One Night. No avid movie buff could be dissatisfied in what Houston had to offer, and the city itself even began to make debut appearances in feature movies also. When the high school football season had passed, even those Houstonians with little or no interest in sports had to marvel at the incredible variety of sports that Houston had to offer. With the Astros, Oilers, Aeros, Rockets, and even the new Hurricane, Houstonians had a team to cheer for 365 days a year. City universities also provided an outlet for the best in NCAA action, and beyond this, the city played host to several special sports events such as the crazy antics of the Harlem Glo- betrotters. But perhaps what Houstonians loved best was the ever-exciting Rodeo and Livestock show. Truly elegant diners used to take off for the weekend and head to New Orleans for the really fine food, but that is an era that has long since passed in the Southwest. If anything, immigrants from the Jazz City itself now find it fashionable to come to Houston for the best food at Maxim,s, Tony's, and a host of other top quality restaurants. Even people with considerable fewer bills could find anything in the way of cuisine in this area, for everything from Vietnamese delicacies to the ever popular Big Mac was served to hungry Houstoni- ans every day. Houston has built itself a firm and fine name in quality food, all topped with a variety that cannot be topped anywhere in the country. If the previously mentioned activities seemed far too noisy and active for a most passive native, an even bigger treasure of entertainment and fascina- tion rested nearby. Not an hour's drive away sits both the incredible NASA facility and the peace and quiet of the Galveston shoreline with an entic- ing beach hideaway. Spring opened up with the beautiful Azalea Trail, various flower displays, and the famous Cezanne exhibit which bypassed many cities. to appear in Houston. Because Houston's primary industry is oil, one would assume that only shrewd, businesslike peo- ple are nurtured there. However, the city spawns numbers of the warmest, most cordial. and most amiable people to be found anywhere. and the high school student reared in this majestic city should consider himself fortunate for having such a wealth of opportunities set before him, available only for the asking. ' No doubt, some of the satisfaction that the ancient Greeks felt for their existence has no time barrier, and their zest for life has certainly tran- scended all time limitations and reappeared in the form of a new, equally wealthy and prosperous people who proudly call themselves Houstonians. - 30 - AFTER ANOTHER BUSY EIGHT-HOUR WORK DAY, downtown Houston remains relatively serene and uncrowded at dusk.

' 'f By Shelley Stoleroff n the beginning, it was the frenzied rush through post-game traffic to get to the party. Later, as the year simmered down, smaller, private parties became prevalent among Memorial's socialites. The dozens of people who earlier enjoyed cafe- teria dances and post-game celebrations found it difficult to find a well-publicized open party to attend. The parties they did enjoy fell into four categor- ies: Senior parties, open parties, cafeteria dances, and closed parties. I liked the closed Senior parties better because not as many under- classmen showed up. said Junior Pat Convery. Though Pat might have been right sometimes, it was generally true that underclassmen represented a significant number of Senior party-goers. Senior parties could easily have been related to the regular open parties, because the majority of those parties were thrown by seniors. There is less rivalry about parties when you're a sophomore because when you're a freshman you're always try- ing too hard to get acquainted with the upperclass- men in order to go to their parties. It's like a status symbol. said Sophomore Laurie Ralph. The parties last year, the big parties that is, needed more bands, better music, said Senior Ken Durkee. Also open to all grades were the cafeteria dances sponsored for various occasions. f'The parties thrown in the cafeteria were pretty good except that they were always over too soon. It seemed like once you got there, you only had an hour or two to dance. said Senior Claire Kelley. I thought the disco music in the cafeteria was better than a band. I'd like to see that every now and then, said Junior Kendall Lucas. Good music did play an important part in the outcome of a closed party's success. There wer- en't enough parties last year. The closed parties were better because more effort was put into them - especially when it came to good music, said Junior Anne Pilati. , Senior Allison Anderson said, Last year's closed parties were definitely better than the big open ones because those private parties did and always will induce more of a feeling of camarade- rie and closeness.

They went all out because they knew it would be an all out party. It was important having it at the Petroleum Club, a place where people our age don't usually get to go. We served good wine and there was good music. Few under- classmen were there. Small, private parties with a theme flike holi- day partiesj are the best, said Ellen. Big parties are fun and interesting but restrictive, because you're either forced to stay indoors or outdoors.

But somehow it wasn't until the day school let out that the meta- morphosis was truly in effect. Evidence of it was every- where - in the smoothing of normally rough personali- ties. in the tinseled designs decorating streets and build- ings. and in the rows of multicolored lights lining the eaves of houses. Packed parking lots. terrible traffic. crushing crowds at shopping centers. green and red displays dominating stores everywhere. all attested to the fact that Christmas was finally here. For some the holidays were a time to get away on ski- ing trips. to make visits to relatives or friends. to shop for presents. or simply to laze around and be glad not to have to go to school. For others. it meant Christmas rel- ated activities like caroling, church choir productions, going to the annual production of the Nutcracker Suite. 66 Festivities and Memorial's own Christmas Chorale spectacular Vespers. The auditorium filled up quickly with parents. grand- parents. relatives. friends. alumni. and students. The lights dimmed and the audience hushed in anticipation. Chorale students streamed in the aisles in grey, red. and white robes holding lit candles and singing 'fFan- fare for Christmas Day. The occasion was the traditional Christmas Vespers program presented by the Chorale and the Chantelairs. Choir Director Miss Coloma Lafferty took a look at the full auditorium and happily commented. f'I think the school district is going to have to build us a new audito- rium. Chorale members then took their places on the stage. amid thundering applause. and began the first half of the program. Considered by most of the Chorale and Chantelairs to be the most difficult, the religious half of the program consisted of sacred songs. Senior Tina Woodhanis said. The music is a lot more challenging. Following an intermission. the Chorale performed the secular part of the program. A huge Raggedy Ann doll dominated a corner of the scene. along with oversized Christmas presents and a huge limb of a Christmas tree. The chorale. dressed as elves in jagged leather costumes, sang Christmas carols including Winter Wonderland and Silver Bellsf' Margaret O'Keefe. the only freshman in chorale. said she started getting very nervous about two weeks before the performance. The nervousness was a lot of fun.

Sm. he sights and sounds of rodeo were reputedly first heard on July 4. 1883. in the West Texas town of Pecos. It's said that the street was the arena, and the prize money was small, but the local ranchers and drovers took to the contest so fast and frenzied that rodeos began to spring up all over Texas and the West. Rodeo has grown from a small-town sport to a multi-million dollar busi- ness. Texas has been noted to be the rodeo capital of the world and Harris County's three main rodeos: The Texas Prison rodeo, the Simington rodeo, and the Houston Livestock show and rodeo, never fail to arouse the Texas spirit in both the genuine and pseudo cowboy alike. The most unique Texas rodeo was the Texas Prison rodeo in Huntsville. In its 46th year. the Roughest Rodeo Behind Bars consisted of 90 bronc-riding inmates from the Texas Department IN THEIR TEXAS DUDS, Sophomores Todd Kissner, Tim Bradfield, Randy O'Donriell and Dwain Bamkston demon- strate a typical rodeo outfit of felt hats, leather cowboots, blue jeans and coors belt buckles.

The rodeo took place every Sunday in October, and drew crowds of 23,000. Many rodeo enthusiasts slipped into their Tony Lamas, donned their Stetsons, and headed for the small town of Simington for a Friday night of busting hump and kikker dancing. The Simington Rodeo was staged every Friday night in the fall. and displayed some of the best in rodeo entertain- ment. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is one of the biggest and most commercial rodeos of its kind. The rodeo events took place in the Astro- dome but the essence of the happening was appar- ent everywhere throughout the rodeo week. The week began with the Salt Grass Trail Ride where thousands of riders from all over the country marched through the streets of downtown Hous- ton. Entertainment was provided by a number of country and western performers including The Osmands. Johnny Cash, and Dolly Parton. .- 30 - - A ll.S'Ifll Wilde '84 gm A5 Let's rodeo ' 71 CRN! enior girls sponsored five formals through the year on November 5, January 7, January 28, and April 1.

Aerosmith got their wings and flew into the summit for two sold-out shows, leaving Dan Fol- gelberg and Supertramp to finish up the summer concerts. Excellent performances by Yes, Steve Miller, and Frank Zappa followed the summer shows and made way for two unexpected pleasures: The Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills and Nash. With their latest studio album in seven years, Crosby, Stills and Nash congregated a sold out crowd of both old and new fans alike.

This occasion was Ballroom Dancing and Social Etiquette, strictly taught by the ageless Mary Eliz- abeth Smith. where the kids learned to do the fox trot and the box step. With the ending of the class, the experienced dancers were formally invited to join a dance group for their high school years, appropriately named for the faraway year in which they would graduate, such as Best of 80. Shine On 79, or Rock on 78. According to Rock On organizer Mrs. Donna Dawson, the groups were formed from mothers who met with Ms. Smith after the culmination of the ballroom dancing course. Those founding mothers volunteered their children to comprise the Junior Board, the group which chooses a name and decides upon themes and bands for the dances. Although some members of the 80, 79, and 78 groups are from other schools, the majority of the group is Memorial students. However, Tons of Fun in 81 membership chairman Mrs. Robin Hur' ley said that for the first time, their group has beer limited to students living in the Memorial area. There are from two to four dances each year and the cost runs from around S20 to S40 per year River Oaks Country Club, the Racket Club, anc Houston Country Club were some of the sites oi the dances, which ranged in style from casual tc semi-formal. Mrs. Dawson said that her group ha: not had a formal', dance because it feels tha' there are enough formals given by other groups. Its first dance was held at Regal Ranch and was country western dance. The second dance was a Houston Country Club, and featured a Mexicar supper. Apparently the enthusiasm of the youngei dance groups is manifested in the greater numbei of dances and the variety of style. By the senior year the groups have generally put on fewe: dances. as the senior girls' formals conflict. 1 30 1 - Jackie Cell WITH THE LEGENDARY KICKER HAT, shirt, belt, Levis, ant beer belly, Senior Keith Ormston guzzles some refreshmen during the Regal Ranch dance.

Paid 55.75 May '8 - picked up my cap and gown today. Couldn't wait to get it out of its box - put it on and strutted around all over the school. Sure was hot. It felt great though - and all the underclassmen either smiled in wonder or scoffed the clowns in red. Felt really proud though, like all the work in four years was worth it. really satisfying. But college isjust around the corner. May I0 - Had assembly today with Papa Schaper. He warned seniors to be careful until graduation, and then he congratulated the class on making it this far. Other encouraging words from Doc C. May 1.5 - last Monday. May I7 - Rehearsal at Coliseum. There we were - all bunched together and excited. Not too many people could hear Mr. Schaper. Went outside to even more confusion. Marched inside. . . maybe we acted the way we did because it was our last chance to be sacrilegious before the real thing. Did not seem like the last day of classes. Where was everybody anyway? May I8 - Need I note. dearjournal. that Seniors '78 became high school graduates today?

Graduation 91 C nnlinued from page 90 went shirtless: girls who forgot to pin their collars in were having a hard time in the wind. Now how was it the honor cords go - one in front. one in back, two in front, or none . . . The seniors listened to Principals Schaper and Car- thel in short sleeves, while corsage- wearing counselors and teachers hovered above to assist latecomers. Finally the line started toward the door. Waiting. Waiting, Waiting. The door opens. More waiting. Stopped right inside the tunnel, on the verge. What heat. Borrowed a comb from someone way down the line. Could that be a faint Pomp and Circumstance wafting through the air? THIS IS IT. Had to remember three steps apart. All those smiling faces. Hard to keep from smiling like a Chesire cat. Who was the idiot in front that kept dropping her mortarboard - and laughing? Monsignor Alfred W. Raye of St. Cecilias Catholic Church gave the invocation, followed by Rusty Mark leading the National Anthem. Dr. Kelly Williams. pastor of Chapelwood Methodist, preached the Baccalaureate Sermon. Well. Mr. Clanton was sup- posed to call out all the honor students next. He stopped halfway through the Magna Cum Laudes. but corrected his error.

Varsity diver Todd Jensen executei a perfect back flip. and walked of stage to a standing ovation. As .Ian Zuber crossed the stage, how ever, screams of happiness eruptec within the Coliseum.

Reed gears for first on trusty motorcycle itting on a dusty bench with the roar of an anxious crowd in the background, the perspiring young man wiped his head with an oily rag in an effort to calm himself in order to be mentally prepared for the big event. Though he knows that in a time span of just a few minutes he and his partner would cover many miles and could be seriously injured or killed, he knows in his mind that he is ready. With the smell of burning fumes and oily bikes, he ascends his partner and, with the weight of all his strength he slams down the starter of his shiny friend. The young man is Mike Reed, his trustworthy friend is a motorcycle, and the grueling competition to be -m oto-cross. ' DIRT, NOT GRASS, usually provides the surface for the practices Qt. Mike Reed. A veteran of the moto-cross circuit, Reed has been with this motorcycle since he was 14. With four victories to his credit, Fleed enjoyed similar practice rides in preparation for the grand-national competi- t:pn in the Astrodome. hoto by Payson MacW- 1 rams. You have to be prepared for the race even before you start your bike. It's a very physical sport and you have to have endurance, he stressed. The rid- ers mustbe in top shape in order to do well. he said. Reed opposed those who think that moto-cross is a game that is mainly played for fun. Moto-cross isn't a game, but rather a challenge, he said. It's a challenge between you, your course, and the bike. Reed said that because he became interested in motorcycle riding at an early age, he had to convince his father that he would be a safe driver at all times. I've been riding motorcycles since I was l4,', he said. At first, my father was totally against motorcycles, then he timed my runs, helped me work on my bike, and watched all my races. Reed summarized, If it wasn't for my dad, I wouldn't be riding at all. Though he has already entered ten races, Reed said, I,ve really' only been racing for a short time. He saidthat it took some getting used to in the early .449 f SL- V. . 4, :ff liiiiifffffffi Lei? 4 sf -- x going on the racing circuit? Reed was quite pleased 'with the accolades his efforts have yielded so far. Fm really proud of my four tro- phies, and at Rio Bravo in December, I'm hoping to qualify for the Grand Nationals in the Astrodomej' he said. Equipment wise, Reed said that a full wardrobe was absolutely necessary. My equipment consists of a good hel- met, goggles, face mask, shoulder pads, thick leather pants, and a good pair of metal plated riding boots, he said. Reed concluded that moto-cross as a hobby could prove to be a drain on the wallet at times. There's one thing about moto-cross as a hobby, he said. It gets expensive because each week youtcan expect to replace minor parts at high prices. Estimating his own progress in moto- cross, Reed said, I feel I'm getting bet- ter every time I race.

When testing, I dance with my partner for three complete rounds of a set pattern dance. Then, I solo dance so the judges can see that l'm not being led by my partner and if I can stay on timej' Jill said. We went to Lake Placid in New York one summer where we skated and met one of the teams that represented the 1976 US skating team in ice danc- ing, said Jill. Ice skating requires special equip- ment that is often quite costly. The boots costs about S200 and the blades 390. We also have to fly the judges in for testing because only one judge in Houston is qualified to judge gold level skaters, Jill said. Between working after school and studying, Jill said she had to sacrifice some of her skating time to maintain her grades. I used to get up at five o'clock and skate until school, and then get out early and practice until six or seven, Jill said. Jill skated six days a week after school to prepare for her gold level test.

The garage band consists of a garage full of ambitious young musi- cians playing their music to whoever will listen. One person that has sur- vived the garage triplis Richard Cole. Cole plays the bass guitar, and has been playing for four years. Two of my friends bought electric guitarsf, said Cole, I decided that I wantedito play an instrument too, so I spent my motorcycle money on a bass. Cole doesnit limit himself to the elec- tric bass. He plays the double bass in the orchestra and also the acoustic gui- tar. My mother used to play in the Houston Symphony, and my father is IN THE PRIVACY OF HIS OWN ROOM, with nothing but four walls for an audience, Richard Cole practices playing his bass guitar. Cole has played in several school bands and currently plays with Eastex Freeway. Cole and his band entered KlLT's Best Band in the City contest and came in first. They were chosen by the Stu- dent Council to play for the Homecoming Dance in the Cafeteria. Cole not only plays rock but also plays a double bass in the Orchestra.

It,s different playing in a band like Eastex Freeway, Cole said. Most of the other bands I've been in only last about eight months to a year at the most, but Eastex Freeway has been together for eight years, he said. I During the Christmas Holidays Cole and Eastex Freeway visited a local recording studio to record a record. The record -was a single containing two songs composed by the band. . The leader of the band. keeps the business aspect separated from the musicians, said Cole. At the time I received a set pay, said Cole, but if I set up a show myself, I get extra cash. 'Tve met some very interesting peo- ' ple through music, said Cole. I've met Charlie Daniels and Willie Nelson. I would say that the best things about being in a band are the people you meet, the prestige, and of course, the money, Cole said. I enjoy playing, but I don't think I want to do it for too long a period of time. - 30 - i - A uslin Wilde Q .ts J L J . ' fi . ff A '45 ' . . 1 f' i- ii-5 . ' Lili- 5 T f A ' F ff ' A rf J, to fr 3?

Success is a matter of speaking heatric prowess gushes forth as Bruce Norris described his feel- ings about his self-acknowledged tal- ent, drama. Although Norris does not want to be classed strictly as a drama person, it is hard not to label, him that way since he is constantly gesturing, animatedly conversing, and changing his manner of speech and facial expres- sion to fit his mood or topic of discus- sion. Norris became interested in drama through his brother, and began lessons at the Alley Theatre in fifth grade. After three years there, he switched to the Theatre Under the Stars CTUTSJ program. I haven't done much school stuff in the past few years because I just didn't have time for it, said Norris. Most of the stuff I did was with TUTS school productions. Like we did 'Dames at Sea' and 'The Wiz., 'f Other major pro- UNSCRUPULOUS AND DIABOLIC PLOTFER of evil deeds, Harvey Green glowers menacingly from a .Wanted?' poster. Bruce Norris por- trayed 'Green in the school production of Ten Nights in a Bar Room. Norris's appearance in the play was one of a shrinking number of his performances due to a growing interest in 'fother things. Photo by Tom Freireich. ductions included The King and I, The Sound of Musicfl and Oliver. Norris dropped out of the TUTS program for varied reasons. The school had gone downhill - the good teachers had left, it was losing moneyf' Norris said. I don't like the feeling of havingrspent four years in high school and not having done anything. So I'm desperately trying to be in something? My sophomore year I was wrapped up in becoming a star and growing up too quick. I just look back and go 'how stupid? Since dropping out of TUTS, Norris has had major roles in two Memorial productions, Ten Nights in a Bar-room and Midsummer Night's Dream. After eight years involved in drama, Norris has started to retreat from the idea of devoting all his energies to it. 'Tm getting away from doing shows - they're such a pain. I don't hate drama, I hate all the preliminary stuff. If I could just get up on stage and do it, that would be greatf' he said. I hate being identified as a 'drama' person. I've got l00l things I'd like to do. I don't want to say I want to go back - I just wish I had done more. -30.- - Sheryl Sanders Tom Rivers Kelly Rives gf .

Each jump is S12 but before these life staking leaps into mid air Nancy had to pay S80 for insurance, her first lesson the first jump. Sky diving has been one of Nancy's dreams since she was 12 and this was the year she was to attempt her dream. Photo by Trent Rosenthal. Sky diving from cloud nine 2800 feet above the ground, a sky diver prepared to fulfill a dream, and, at the same time, do one of the most unnatural things she can perform in her lifetime. It's just not natural for a person to jump out of airplanes, U.S. Parachute Association member Nancy Wright said. For me, itis a dream fulfilled. Since Nancy was 12, she has had an urge to try sky diving. I wrote it down gin my diary - 'I will go sky divinglf she said. In the summer before her sen- ior year, she took her first jump after taking an S80 beginner's sky diving course from Spaceland Parachute Cen- ter. It costs S80 for insurance. lessons and your first jump, said Nancy. It's S 12 for every jump after that. When diving, Nancy said, a diver has three chances for his rip cord to pull, and it is scary until the parachute opens. The hardest thing to do is to go back and jump again, she explained. Once your parachute opens, it's real peaceful up there. After you've done it you feel real good. Because it is an expensive hobby, Nancy said, she does not get to sky dive often. I do it when I have money, she said, adding that she usually jumps four times per outing. Some people have to climb a moun- tain, said Nancy. Well, I have to sky dive. -- 30 - - Susie Waodhams In memory of Kash Sudden tragedy found its way to Mem- orial on the evening of December 9 when Kash Keyzer was killed by an oncoming truck driven by a reckless driver. Kash, a poet, songwriter, and friend to many, had an all-around good nature and an easy- going personality that made compassion inherent in his nature. Fighting back tears while delivering the eulogy at Kash's funeral, his Uncle Lou spoke of how he felt Kash had found hap- piness in life. He felt Kash was prepared to meet his creator, even at that early age. Those who remember Kash will miss him in many ways, and all who knew him surely benefitted from the life of this vibrant, poetic, and happy young man. lwcughtal-zuberl Seniors 103 Innies and ' outies make a debut hat does a disillusioned belly dancer do as an alternate form of exercise? This question would seem quite perplexing to your everyday navel shaker, but then Denise Doughtie is not your run of the mill belly dancer. Her answer to this question is the ancient art of yoga. I decided to take up yoga because my belly dancing class was just full of fat women trying to find a way to impress their husbands or boyfriends, explained Denise. I . Pleasure seeking women were not the only reason she decided to quit belly dancing. I also took up yoga because it gives me a much more relaxed feeling when I am finished with a session, while belly dancing is so exhausting that you ache all over when the session is finally over with. she said.

I haven't gotten into the religious part of yoga, but I may try it one of these days, Denise said. . I The advantage of yoga over other forms of exercise is that a person may do it any time and almost anywhere. Sometimes I come home from yoga class and sit on my ,bed and continue the exercises I learned that day, said Denise. Many people think yoga is only an exercise for women, but also men. espe-' cially athletes, take up the art to improve their coordination. If men would not be so ignorant as to yoga they would realize how relaxing and helpful it can be, emphasized Denise. ...30... - Roger Oppenheim RELAXATION TAKES THE FORM OF EXERCISE as Denise Doughtie sits in the lotus position. Yoga is a new release for energies Denise previf ously had put into belly dancing. Lunch outside provides the perfect setting for her body build- ing. Yoga can be used to improve coordination and relax tense muscles. lt is a form of exercise and a type of religion like Kung Fu or Karate. Yoga is a world wide form of relaxation.

'ion 'ti Q Sticking with the Houston Junior Aeros , o most people pads and helmets go with football, and masks either l go with snorkling or baseball, but to l Greg Skibins this equipment, along with a puck, skates, ice, and a stick, belong hockey. Greg began ice skating at around one and a half years and by the time he was four he was taking hockey lessons. I was born in Montreal CCanadaJ and everybody there plays hockey, said Greg. There are even schools up there that just teach hockey? I The movie Slap Shot has made people more aware of the violence in hockey. Even Greg has not escaped unscrashed. Hockey has given Greg two broken teeth, a broken nose and even a broken hand. I was in a fight and instead of hitting the guy I was going to hit I hit the ice and broke my handf, This season Greg ripped his quadracept muscle and tore the liga- ments in his knee. I was skating with the puck and this guy skated in at me. His stick went between my leg and his, it broke over my knee which made me fall into the boards fthe Wally, Greg has played for the Houston Junior Aeros for two years. I tried out and made it. Greg stated. The Junior Aeros earn money by playing exhib- ition games like they played with the Aeros. Playing with the Aeros was a blast, he said. The money they earn goes to pay for traveling expenses. The Junior Aeros traveled to Chicago, Detroit. Oklahoma City and Phoenix Arizona to play against teams there. They also played host to teams from Finland, Sweden. and Czechoslovokia. The Junior Aeros played with the Houston Aeros in an exhibition game on November 12 to help raise money for their trips. Each team was made up of half Aeros and half Junior Aeros. Six members of a team was on the ice at a time and they played a close game. 30 - Cynthia Canlsgv SKATING ACROSS THE ice in search ofthe elu- sive puck, Greg Skibbins plays an exhibition match with the Junior Aeros against the Hous- ton Aeros. The Junior Aeros won the game 5-3. Greg undergoes vigorous practice about 3 or 4 times a week at the Ice Haus skating rink along with his teammates, who are all in high school also. lt's really hard work and you have to really like lt, but l do, said Greg.

H Creating illusion amazing skeptics mazing even the most doubting I skeptics, Junior Louis Dorfman performs the dangerous Water Tor- ture Trick during which he is chained iupside down and suspended in a vat of 'water for two minutes. Fascinated by tricks at seven, Dorf- iman became interested in card magic. , Scott Vandemark showed me differ- 'ent kinds of card tricks, and I became good at them, said Dorfman. l Through Vandemark, Dorfman met Walter Blaney, who introduced him to illusions. Dorfegan doing strait jacket escapes, one of his more dangerous tricks. Dorfman has been professionally performing for 5-6 years. He has per- formed at such places as the Fairmont Hilton in Dallas, Houston's Hyatt Regency, and he has also done charity work for hospitals. Injury is a risk involved in some of the tricks Dorfman performs. live hurt my arms and ribs in the strait jacket before, said Dorfman. Dorfman's younger brother Mark, a freshman, is also a professional magi- cian. For some time they were partners as the Dorfman Brothers. In Septem- ber of 1974, the Dorfmans were awarded second in the state at the Texas Association of Magicians Con- vention. , . , if t . l,- , 1 A .af , , . Q4 . , 1 fi1::f-'12 -.:--lar: ifilf ..

I try to see Mark Wil- son anytime I can, said Dorfman. Dorfman has seen illusionist Doug Henning performing card magic in the Louis Tannen Magic Shop in New York, one of the magic shops, according to Dorfman. Though Hen- ning is considered the best, Dorfman does not like his style. Some people feel that Dorfman's performances are trickery, and they don't like it. People don't like to be fooled, said Dorfman. I get up there and make things disappear and, when they can't understand, they get offended. Little children are hard to perform for, according to Dorfman, because they have an open mind and see iight through it. However, he believes, from age I2 and older, people take a scien- tific 'How can he do that?' view, and they try to make a simple thing seem impossible. Someone will scream, 'Hey, I know how it's done!,' said Dorfman, and then I'll do the trick over in a different wayf' Dorfman ends his performance with, In ending, for those who understand, no explanation is necessary, for those who don't understand, no explanation will suffice. - 30 - - Loretta Farb ,-.., g N.-v , . r ' x 93211 A . ..

The music began and they were swept into each other's arms, concentrating on the dance and each other. Sophomore ballet dancer David Cates said, It is different because not every kid on the block takes ballet. Cates is a student at the Houston Ballet Academy. He has taken ballet for the past five years and would like to go on to be a professional performer. 'Td like to do it, and I get a lot of enjoyment out of balletf' said Cates. 'Tm on full scholarship at the Acad- emy. There are three different stages in being a professional dancer. They con- sist of the corps, the soloists, and the principal dancer. The corp is just the background dancersf' said Cates. The soloist is when you do it by yourself. The principal dancers get the lead role. Although there is not much money in dancing, Cates wants to make it his career. lt's rewarding, he said. You enjoyiwhat you're doing and not all people get into jobs they enjoy? The Houston Ballet is divided up between the Academyand the Com- pany. The Company is the professional group that is paid for its dancing. The Academy was designed to send stu- dents into the Company. to make them professional dancers, explained Cates. Practice required every afternoon including Saturday, lasting anywhere from an hour and a half to three hours. Cates learned ballet, jazz, and modern dance. One hour a week he has a pas 1 ld Sophomores fcook-degurinj with the girlsf' said Cates. It means a dance for two. Cates doesn't specialize in one dance. He said that to make a really good dancer you have to specialize in jazz, modern dance, and ballet. After practicing 1316 hours a week, there are also rehearsals for lecture demonstrations and ballets to be per- formed. According to Cates, a lecture demonstration is when they go around to different schools and show them examples of dances . . . the basic steps, what to do, and what not to do. Cates has appeared in professional ballets such as The Nutcracker and Swan Lake. Cates feels that performing in these productions has given him good experience. With the constant stretching and dancing, a pulled muscle is a frequent occurrence that is to be expected and watched out for. It's painfulf, said Cates. You have to pull it out before it does much damage. Cates uses an old fashion remedy for strained muscles. He just sits in a hot tub and lets the muscle relax. -- 30 - -- Susan Murray POSED AT THE BAR dancer David Cates demonstrates the Porte de bra position.

It takes a lot of will power, you can't be lazy, and enjoy what you are doing, said boxer Montagu. Montagu, who stands at 5'll and weighs an even 200 pounds, fights in the Heavyweight. class. He has a special goal: The i980 Olympics. I have a goal to make, the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, and boxing is a natural for me, said Montagu. To try out and hope to make the Olympics takes three things: a sponsor, a good trainer, and to be told from an Olympic Committee Representative that you meet the requirements. People watch your fights,and a representative from The Olympic Committee, gave me a sponsor, Addidas, and told me of a good trainer, and also told me to keep life of rounds up the good work, said Montagu. You doinot need to be special for the Olympics, but you need a sponsor, anda good record, he said. Montagu has fought in 110 matches and has a record of l05 victories, 5 losses, and 75 knockoutsiin a span of one year. His fastest knockout is one minute and ten seconds in the first round. Montagu is training at Benbows gym, and Quail Valley gym. In Quail Valley my trainer is John Weston, and Ken Blakenship at Benbows. They were good trainers because they have trained several boxers to Golden Gloves, he said. Montagu's dream is to become pro- fessional. I've already been made an offer to become a professional boxer when I am 18, from a man in New,Jer- sey, and I want to make money in somethingsl enjoy instead of sitting behind a desk, said Montagu. + 30 - --John Kirby DEMONSTRIATING A BOXER'S TECHNIQUE, Philip Montague puts up his dukes.

Boredom one summer spurred Rankin's interest in acting. I needed something to do and I'd always been real interested in movies and stuff so I took acting classes that summer. Rankinls first role was the villain Bill Sykes in Oliver , Other plays Rankin has appeared in are Something afoot . The Appletree , and The Dark at the Top of the Stairs',. Rankin has portrayed any- thing from a villain in Oliver to a narra- tor in The Appletreev. I try and vary a lot. It brings a chal- lenge to acting. I like to try and take com- mand of a role so people I know won't look at me and say 'Hey that's David,' I ,want them to see the character instead. ' When deciding what roles to try out for Rankin said it depends on whether he likes the show or not. Another criteria is I think in terms of 'Can I pull this off?' Rankin has also acted for television in the series Middleroad Traveler , a PBS showifor children, for which he was paid S5 an hour. Unfortunately, the series according to Rankin, was a flop. Though Rankin's strongpoint is acting, he also sings and dances. Music and the- ater go together, said Rankin, adding that he can't read music. I've gotten away with it for three years. A lot of Rankin's time is spent with auditioning and rehearsing for plays. Right now I'm doing community theater, said Rankin, who also plans to take part in some of Memorial dramas produced. Fd like to go into acting. It,s a chal- lenge, a field where you never reach your peak. You just keep going up and up and up ', - 30 - Catherine Chriss DAVID RANKIN HAS APPEARED in various per- formances, including Bill Sykes in Oliver . Photo by Scott Waughtal. by y , ,ri ,...

While working as a crew member aboard a sailboat which sailed 700 miles in the Antilles,'Guinee met a man that worked for the field museum. The man. from the field museum was assigned to do bat research. The field worker did not have time to catch the specimans so he showedGuineeihow to capturebats. Every night, when the boat anchored next to an island, Gui- nee would row to shore and set up the bat nets. A S S After the bats were caught in the nets, Guinee would carefully break their necks with his fingers while try- ing to avoid getting bitten. By the end of the trip, Guinee had accumulated approximately 50 bats which were packaged in plastic bags and preserved in formaldehyde and placed in the cabin of the boat. Guinee's expedition is only the' sec- ond time a research project, concerning bats, has been done in the Greater and Western Antilles. y , A Many mishaps did occur to some of Guinee's Specimans. Guinee said, One time one of the bats fell on the floor and one of the girls on the boat stepped on it.?'

Several large plants habitate the office, and threaten to overtake the room at any moment.

He is Mike Perkins. head of and the only employee of Perkins Financial Enter- prises. lim an audio consultant. I do sound systemsj, said Perkins. Doing sound systems includes helping the customer find a stereo that fits his budget and needs and helping him to install it. I started it when I was 13. I had trouble finding ajobf' he said. I'm not incorporated - I have a certificate of operation, which allows me to operate as sole proprietor. Because I'm a regis- tered business, I can get discounts for my customers they would not receive otherwise.

My parents have never really said anything. They just told me 'It's your own business' said Perkins. -- 30 - - Sheryl Sanders HIGH FIDELITY gives Mike Perkins the chance to show a prospective customer different types of stereo systems.

As the horse trots abit too fast, the girl gives a small g 'kick to his side, just to slow him down. But instead of slowing down, the Ara- . bian horse kicks back and hits the wall, making a noise which reverberates l throughout the entire stadium. Fortunately for Melanie Meyer, the judge did not catch the mishap. . According to Melanie, judges usually j determine which horse will win accord- ing to their individual tastes. It all depends on what the judge likes, she said. Melanie has ridden in Arabian horse shows for almost four years. As an amateur, Melanie attends about 12 horse shows per year throughout Texas and Louisiana. I English Pleasurej' in which the horse is judged, and Equitation, in which the rider is judged are the two . basic categories in which Melanie enters. , Between competitions, however. X Melanie trains and exercises her horse, j Imasuperstar, about three or four times a week for an hour at a time. l 'Imasuperstarj is kept at Bear Creek I Stables, where many contests are held. At an average horse show. Melanie explained, she arrives, checks in, and receives an entrance number before competition begins. From there on, many tasks must be completed. I clean the saddle, the bridle, and the horse, Melanie said, and I paint his feet tglossy blackj. Then I put on the habit, she added. Included in Mela- nie's habit are a special pair of socks. For good luck,', Melanie explained, I wear blue and white socks with supers- tar printed one them? Apparently,.skill and special socks have great effects, as Melanie has won 97 ribbons and prizes in all. Even in some shows where professionals had entered as well, Melanie was the only amateur to place. -- 30 - - Mmjianne Nelson INTENT CONCENTRATION on her posture and showmanship earns Melanie Meyer her winning reputation.

Hanging ten on two boards hether they are walls of concrete or walls of water, chances are that Sophomore Dick Silver has ridden them, and if he hasn't, he just might try. From the waves of Galveston, Free-V port, and Port Isabell, to his driveway, an empty swimming pool, or a skate- board park, Silver has been skate- boarding or surfboarding overvarious surfaces at various speeds and angles from the time he wasfive years old. Employed by Skateboard City and a competitor in many skate and surf competitions, the two related sports have become a major part of Silver's life. He skates, he says, every day, and, surfs, whenever there are waves - except on school days. He some- times awakensas early' as 4 a.m. to catch the waves in their best form. As a result of his surfing contest per- formances, he was invited to the 1977, U.S. Surfing Nationals, but my par- ents didn't want me to miss the first week of schoolf, he said, so he had to decline. g y I The only skateboard contest Silver likes tolcompete in is bowl riding, taking on the challenge of empty pools, pipes, anything that's vertical. In his first such competition, -Silver won second place, receiving as his award a T-shirt. Obviously, he doesnlt skate merely for the prizes g he does it for several rea- sons. Whenghe skates he represents his skating team and a sponsor or two who give him his equipment wholesale, and when he surfs he represents his surfing team, s ' If I surf for them, I, can get my boards a little cheaper. I can get enough points to go tothe surfing nationals, and that way I get to go ride some decent surf . . . mostly, you know, you just get to have a good time . . . it's just kind of a placelto go and surf with people you know, he said. Silver skates because, It's sort of a substitute for surfingf, and he surfs, because I like it. He stated,r It7s dif- ferent. You don,t have to buy a ticket to go doit, . . it's a fine feeling having something pick you up and beinggable io ride it. - 30 - -George Kiersled .

I like doing floor exercises and paral- lel bars best, said Dale. Dale also par- ticipates in vaulting, parallel bars, hori- zontal bars and rings. Invitational meets have taken Dale to Mexico, Pennsylvania and Colo- rado. In December, I'm going to Squaw Valley, Califomia to be in a camp for Junior National Men's, said Dale. They picked me out of a whole bunch of people. Dale added that Jap- anese gymnasts will be training the young gymnasts. To qualify for National's, You have to qualify for State and then you go to Regionals, Dale explained. Dale won the state meet in 1974, 1975, and 1977. During the 1976 State meet Dale injured himself. I was doing a stunt on the parallel bars dur- ing the meet and I smashed my foot. said Dale. Dale hopes to participate in the 1984 Olympics and possibly the 1980 Olym- pics. The Olympics that Dale enters, depends on how long it takes me to mature or develop, said Dale. Considering his future in gymnastics, Dale said he will keep on in gymnastics until he gets tired of it or accomplishes his goal. You can't tum pro, so about the only thing you can do is coach, said Dale. - 30 - - Catherine Chris: lkenefick-lewisl Freshmen 127 Swaying to a tropical sound -ni.-A-in -1--9.-...Q -iq., L-:QL SMILES ADD TOVTHE GRACEFUL MOVEMEN as Barbara Kucharsky does her version of - Hula dance.

An academic program was created to prepare us for college,jobs, and careers. Memorial's main goal was to expect the most from her students. It set up programs equivalent to college courses. A class for seniors was organized which was a combination of English and Govern- ment called CLEP. There were three categories of courses included in the curriculum to expand the students educa- tion: hard working classes, experimental classes and fun classes. The faculty felt it was their responsibility to give the students the best so they could outshine others and succeed in their goals. Most worked the stu- dents hard and made an A something to be proud of. Lots of nights were spent studying and many a weekend ended with homework. Academics was important because Memorial was in the process of molding students who had a lot to live up to.

Such agony is also required for the making of a debate team. The long ordeal will begin sur- rounded in confusion, awkwardness, and most of all despair, and those who will survive will come out in the long run with a richness in under- standing, know edge, logic, and friendness, and quite possibly a loss of richness in the wallet. The journey begins in the infant stage. the novice class of Debate I. On the board are welcomes from the senior debaters foreboding future hazing of the novices. There are some familiar faces, some new ones, and each new- comer has the feeling that a very long journey is to begin here. The novice is informed that the entire country is debating the same topic area this year, and he thinks to himself of how boring it must be to dis- cuss the same topic week after week. He is told that he must begin work immediately on the topic, for he too will be called upon to serve the squad in his first tournament in just a few short weeks. Little does the confused novice realize how very important his next decision is to be, for the recruit must now settle upon who is to be his partner for the year: someone he will work. eat,- live. and even possibly sleep with, depending of ' course on the size of the hotel rooms in the out- of-town tournament areas. With little or noi knowledge whatsoever about his fellow novices,. the novice settles on the kid with a kind faced and semi-intelligent look, and a personality that l 34 Special Report, Memorial's debaters The making of ap debate team, seems to be 0.K. Thus. the tyro has a partner, a general idea of the area of interest, and now he must get down to work. V With the help of some ordered college debate handbooks and the patience of some of the nicer older debaters, the team settles down to write and research the all important affirmative case. They are told that they must isolate one aspect of the general topic area and build around it an eight to ten minute speech stating why this particular area of the topic is vulnerable to harm, why they as a team can solve that harm. and they must then present a plan for the elimination of the harm. They are told that countless, inexhaustible mounds of evidence exist in several nearby libraries, or for the lazy novice with a big wallet. he can buy evidence in handbook form that has already been researched for him by several college-age debaters. ' Hours of research and work. coupled with the agony of trying to find that last: crucial card eventually yield a three or four page document that is to lead the team into at least half of their debate rounds with some stretch of confidence. Alas! The ,work has been completed . . . or so think the self-confident pair. What now lies before the exhausted duo is another round of research. only this time to combat all of the other affirmative cases that they will encounter in the upcoming tournaments. Again, the novices must reach into their pockets for some cash to cover the expenses of additional cards. file drawers. and notebooks. . Finally, the early Autumn weeks having passed. the team can now settle back and marvel at the results of their research. For the team that has worked diligently, there could be anywhere from two to ten file drawers full to the brim with well documented evidence. For the team that occa- Si0I12lly fvund nevuieposits ot.ene1py4vQldd.em!.anicely nolished debate drawer with some cards and a coup e of handbooks. The lazy team will be able to display for their interest only a drawer with nothing inside and a recipe box, probably filled only with recipes. - Evidence aside, the noviis must now concentrate on theory. Emanat- ing from the many, varied theories of the senior debaters come a few con- sistencies. The words inherency, solvency, and causl-link take on new meaningcalong with a few of the squad's favorite expressions suchlas shaft, spi e, turnaround. ' From here on in, the team will become an integral part of the debate team of Memorial, and will share in the fun times of the out of town tour- naments and the not so fun shakedowns by the hierarchy of the squad. They will be sneered at by some of the school, praised at in selected moments by Sigma Gamma, and they will always marvel at the experi- ences they encountered in their evolution from a novice team composed of two scared and confused boys to a composed. confident pair of young men. The making of a debate team is no sculptor's dream. but it is surely every dedicated worker's delight. - 30 - Debate TQMMES HECKLERS AND GROANERS IN THE CROWDED EXTEMP DRAW found that they had to reckon with Lane Maxcy if they presisted in their noisy behav- ior.

Almost instantaneously. the victims begin to notice changes. perhaps most evident when their simple vocabularies begin to include such concepts as inherence. comprehensiveness. and sig- nificance. Next. they began to notice an array of file boxes and loose-leaf notebooks springing up around their presence. They noticed that some of the veterans of the trade seemed engulfed in this type of experience. and before they could catch their senses, they too had become one of the mystical cult. Debate is'an organized. strategic discussion of two parties of opposing views. said Coach Jean Boles. We spent around six weeks of intensive training with our novices in order to prepare them for the early tourna- ments. she said. Around 25 novices joined the squad increasing its total to about 60 deba- ters. according to Boles. Some had already spent a part of their summer attending one of the many summer institutes for debate instruction scat- tered about some college campuses in the country. ln debate we dealt with different things every day. ranging from prepa- ration for an upcoming tournament to practice for extemp speeches and ora- tionsf' said Peter Bakken. We dis- cussed debate theory and had practice debates all the time. he said. I Debate ll and lll classes mainly spent most of their class time working on everybody's cases and plotting out strategy against other cases according to Senior Alan Parkans. We had a lot of fun in class, and it helped to' mix such a serious subject with some jokes and gag. he said. Nationwide. the I977-78 Debate Topic. as set by the National Forensic League. was that the Federal Govern- ment should guarantee comprehensive medical care to all citizens in the U.S.. and some of the individual areas of argumentation centered around Medi- caid. Emergency Medical Services. X- Rays. and Wealth Neutral Services. Senior John Landa said. I really liked having the health care topic becausell am considering studying medicine in college. and this year really helped me learn quite a bit. Perhaps the main goal of the deba- ters every year was to qualify for the coveted state tournament held at Bay- lor University every Spring by doing well at an earlier NPL tournament dur- ing the year. Memorial sent one of the largest delegations it ever did this year as the teams of John Lee. Jim Blohm. Brad Glosserman. Jerry Simon. Alan Parkans. David Griffith. John Landa. Bobby Lapin. and Tim Purcell. Will Winsauer all attended the state tourney in the Cross- Examination debate divisions. Individual events also played a big part in the debate experience. according to Senior Jay Gross. Gross said that partici- pating in other events helped keep stu- dents aware and gave them practice for public speaking in later life. The debaters also sponsored a football team that defeated the once-champion Band Team and then lost a couple of close games to the Wranglers. Don McBirney discouraged those who thought that only certain people could become good debaters. He said. lf more people would really take a good look at debate. they would see how much fun and rewarding the whole experience really was. - 30 - Y Bobbi' Lapin MEMBERS OF THE DEBATE TEAM ARE, TOP ROW: Bobby Lapin, Bob Abib, Todd Carpenter, Jorge Cooper, Don McBirney, Tom Schomburg, Jerry Simon, Jeff Wigley, Hugh Howerton, Mike Perkins, Jay Gross, John Harrison, Chrys Yeargain, John Lee, Steve Reynolds, Steve Shatto, Kim Morris, Will Winsauer, Shannon Tucker, Brad Glosserman, Jim Biohm, Jay Munisteri.

The setting was the Texas State Debate Finals Tour- nament in Waco. The place was a small hotel room on a cold evening on the outskirts of Waco. Inside the confines of many other similar hotel rooms in town were nervous debate teams from all across the state with drawers and files full of thou- sands of evidence cards. The tone of most of these rooms was quiet anticipation. yet in this room. things were somewhat different. Inside this room sat Senior Jay Gross who was laughing and smiling. and Gross has filled his drawers and cases not with evi- dence. but rather with cakes and cookies. Many teams liked to use lots of evidence. and I suppose l'm a bit lazy. said Gross. but I feel speaking to judges with more analysis and persuasion could be equally as effective. Gross, now in his third year of debating. felt he'd gotten more out of taking debate than just improvements on speaking tech- niques. l've really improved upon my self-confidence and I think l've gained a real spirit of camaraderie. he said. Gross felt that the satisfaction of doing well inspired a debater to do well in the many tourna- ments he attended. You gained so many friends and memories just by going to the tourna- ments. Gross said. -30- - Bohln' Lapin Debcle I37 SPEECH, DRA Takin life a ...M little ea ier Nervousness and practice Create change from podium to stage SPEECH earning communication, voice control, self-confidence, and pub- lic speaking arejust a few things taught in speech by Department Chairman Mrs. Edelweiss Ames. The course consists of two quarters of public speaking, in which the stu- dents learn the five types of speech: speech to persuade, convince, inform. inspire and entertain, and one quarter of oral interpretation, poetry, storytell- ing, humorous and dramatic interpreta- tionsf' said Mrs. Ames. Mrs. Ames also said that the class debated, researched, and learned how to break bad speaking habits and to cut out expressions of speech. Everybody at one time or another is going to have to get up and express themselves. They should get over stage fright and then apply the energies of a well applied speech and presentation, said Mrs. Ames. By the end of the course the students should be able to write a speech, research, have good appearance and good manners. Junior Melanie Chap- man said, I have learned to trust other people because they won't laugh at me when lim speaking. It helps me communicate with my friends and parents betterf' said Junior Steve McGaugh. Sophomore Matt Kenicott said speech helped him to pick out better speaking topics. Mrs. Ames said there is a future in speech for those who go out and seek it. Newscasting, radio, commentating, theatre, and movies arejust a few fields that speech will have an influence on. I want to be an actress or singer, said Freshman Sharon Nicles. It helps me in salesmanship because it teaches me how to sell, said Junior Green Shorts.

Cook. helped two students. The student who wanted to develop self-confidence and the ability to work in front of peo- ple. and the student who was serious about going into acting. KNO matter which student one is. Drama makes them-a more appreciative public for a theatrical performance. said Cook. Studying various types of oral per- formances. the history of the theatre. how to read a play. developing a char- acter and basic acting techniques. and learning technical theatre Chow to light a show, make-up, set designs, costume designs, and publicity methodsj were things that went on in Drama I. Mr. Cook said that the students per- formed movement compositions, com- municated without sound. originalskit comedies which the students wrote, scenes from classical as well as modern plays. and improvisations. From all of this the students learned how to act. direct and design. The productions done on stage were separate from the drama class but the performers applied what they have learned from Drama I on stage. said Mr. Cook. Cook added that drama could be applied to t.v., the cinema. and stage work. There is good money in being a ticket manager or publicity manager and drama would definitely help with a business career where one must be able to communicate effectively, said Mr. Cook' 1 30 - Jonathan Lack FLUSHED FACE. dry mouth. uncont- rolled stam- mering and i vigorous knee- l knocking are i all symptoms of the pre- speech student. along with a space in the schedule that is begging to be filled by an easy course. Senior Janet Hacker confessed I hate getting up in front of people. and said she took speech because it's good practice for me to be in front of people. At the first of the year we did things to loosen people up. said Janet. These included speeches to tell the class about each other. and were mainly used to help the students feel comfortable around one another. After the preliminaries were over. Mrs. Edelweiss Ames began assign- ing a steady stream of speeches in order to acquaint the classes with the different types of speeches and what their purposes were. We had units - we did different types of speeches like speeches to inform. speeches to persuade. to sell things. and demon- stration speeches. said Janet. We did a tribute speech and I did my grandfather. I had to ask my mom a bunch of questions and I found out all sorts of stuff. That was one of my favorite speeches. Many of the speeches require extra research. but the amount of research actually done varies from student to student. She gives us a lot of time but we don't really use it. It depends on what the assignment is. We were debating on abortion and my partner and I had a whole lot of research. One of the highlights of the year was the mock trial. Everyone took it very seriously . . . it was like real, said Janet. There were lawyers . Defendants, witnesses and the judges even wore robes. I get embarrassed in front of peo- ple but not as much as I used to. said Janet. A sympathetic audience of similarly frightened people can make all the difference in the world. -30- - Sheqfl Sanders Speech, Drama I39 IOURNALISM STAFF - Takin lifea little ea ier One staff, tvvo publications creating a lot to live up to o one ever said it was going to be easy. From the time Adviser Mrs. Judy Anderton proposed the new com- bined staff ideas to the Journalism Department in the Spring of I977. there were mixed emotions among those who would work for the Anvil and Ream publications. Squawking about the extra work involved in pro- ducing 9 news magazines and a 320 page yearbook would only be a waste of time however. because this new staff had a lot to work for. a lot to live up to. In the past. there had always been an Anvil staff. consisting of reporters, edi- tors, designers, ad salesmen. and pho- tographers, who took pride in their achievements. which were giving their high school a nationally known. award winning news magazine. There had also always been a Reata yearbook staff. which combined the efforts of people with the same posi- tions and with just as high honors as the rival magazine staff. Basically, both staffs recruited the same type of dedicated Journalism I students for the same type of positions. So why not combine the two, to form one staff working for two publications? On April 29. 1977. Mrs. Anderton didjust that by announcing her staff at the Journalism banquet. With a hand- ful of JII students returning. she selected her editors, designers. and journalists from the fresh JI classes. Gala Holt. a returning JII student. was to be the Ream editor. while JI student D. Virginia Smith accepted the duties of Anvil Editor-in-Chief. The rest of the staff was divided into two classes. design and writing. to perform their jobs. A new dimension was added to the department when a television show produced by Marianne Penny was born to entertain students. As early as June. the staff set out to learn as much as possible at summer workshops. By the end of vacation, staff members had gained useful knowledge in high school journalism from workshops at the University of Houston. Ball State University in Mun- cie. Indiana. and Southern Methodist University in Dallas. As the school year opened, the real work began. Sure. there was time for birthday parties. designing a staff shirt. 140 J-Il and forming a staff baseball team in the beginning of the year. but a monthly news magazine had to be pro- duced. and Ream writing assignments crept up on the staff before they knew it. Designers depended upon the writ- ers to meet deadlines to give them enough time to lay out articles or pages of the yearbook, In short. a combined staff proved to be more than hectic. The writers were separated from the layout people. Virginia said. noting that often that was a problem. It's nicer because there's a lot more writers to choose from. though. It was fairly well organized. but we had problems with pictures and cap- tions, said Gala. I think it's harder for the writing staff than the layout because they have to write more for Anvil and Reala. At times assignments for the two publication overlapped, and a deadline may have been missed, but the days Anvils came out or a yearbook section was completed. the pressure was reduced. At some times it was a lot of work, and sometimes it wasn't.', said writer George Kiersted. I think it would have been better if I was just able to concentrate on the Anvil, but I'm glad I got to work for Ream After four years of advising thejour- nalism staff. Mrs. Anderton moved to Dallas to be with her husband whom she had married the previous October. I didn't want to leave, she said. But it was a rather bizarre arrangement. being married and living in two differ- ent cities. I would have given anything to have been able to finish the year but I knew I was leaving a staff which could carry on without me. They're the best bunch of young professionals I have ever worked with. But besides the respect I have for them there's an enor- mous love. I miss them so much. It was difficult to adjust to her absence even though Miss Lee Green took over her duties immediately. Gala Holt summed up the situation: The theme of our book really took on a new meaning. We had a lot to live up to. She fMrs. Andertonj expected us to succeed and carry on. When someone has that much trust and faith in you, there's no way you can fail. - 30 - - Suxi Woorllmms X FINISHING A DEADLINE, Reata Editor Gala Holt makes another page of the yearbook is completed.

We tried to approach the Bible from the point of view of literature, history. and culture, besides religion, said Mrs. Brown. Bible classes were not taught the conventional way with lectures. We read a chapter or two and then got in groups and discussed everything, it sort of made you think, stated Junior Melinda Miller. Plays were also a part of the learning experience of Bible.

By graft- ing an orange plant with a tangerine plant. his end fruit result had the sweetness and seedlessness of navel orange with the con- struction ofa tangerine. Both fruits comple- mented each other in the combination of one. Comparatively. gym classes were also 'grafted' together. Boys and girls for the first time participated with and against each other in the same class. Their uniquenesses. more often than not. seemed to comple- ment each other. The 'merge' was brought together by Title IX of Public Law 92-318. January 23. 1972. It read. No person in the United States. shall on the basis of sex, be excluded in, denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education pro- gram receiving Federal financial assist- ance. As Spring Branch Independent School District CSBISDJ received 5750.000 per year for athletics. they complied with the ruling. or the money allotted would have been can- celled. According to Mr. Claude Blanchard. Executive Director of Secondary Educa- tion. Title IX had to be enforced by the Fall of 1978. The process of mixing was not extremely difficult: a new program was sim- ply sent through the computer to mix. at an even ratio. the boys with the girls in gym. Certain problems could be foreseen. by the gym teachers and coaches. A major one was that of discipline. Miss Mildred Hausinger said, ul was quite impressed with the way they took to it and responded to me. Miss Judy Hobbs agreed. As for the rules of co-ed gym. they remained the same for both boys and girls. Each student was required to dress out and participate or points would be deducted. Coach William Cronin also discussed the problems of dismissing all students at one time. and checking up on locker rooms. as coaches could not check up on their girl stu- dents nor woman teachers up on the boy students. Teachers also were wary not to compare the abilities of boys vs. girls. Some girls might be better in things, Miss Hausinger said. but we're not trying to compare boys and girls in strength, no way.

As a 'special treat' students were given an opportunity to roller skate and ice skate during Tuesdays and Thurs- days during the last six weeks of the quar- ters. We really learned a lot skating two hours a week, Denise Doughtie said. much more than I had expected. As for the direct sharing of gym classes themselves, however, students shared var- ied opinions, both ro and con. Depending on tfle difficulty of the sport. different opinions were voiced. and differ- ent degrees of temper flared. Doug McElree commented. I love playing softball. Some of those girls are better than us boys so they shouldn't hack it. A few students seemed to like the unisex classes better, however. There's no sense in it. Harriet Howard said. There should be at least one class that pertains only to girls. Competition lingered but it did not appear to be extremely low nor high. I don't think the girls would play any harder even if they weren't with the guys. Katy Bremer said. WATCHING THE FLIGHT of the ball, Junior Reid Colley prepares to serve. Photo by Scott Waugh- tal. Although the classes were combined, the departments remained separate. according to Miss Dot Josey. The PE department received 54,000 with which each girls' and boys' department bought separate equip- ment. Overall, both teachers and students seemed to conform and comply with the new ruling. however. on an average it took a several year period for the making or break- ing of a government statement. Blanchard said. I'm certain if some changes are necessary they will make them. Changes Csuch as Title IXJ are made constantly in PE to meet the needs of every- day. he concluded.

Students were taught business techniques, budg- eting, clerical practices, personality development, how to use adding machines, calculators, typewriters, and answering the telephone efficiently. VOE taught you how business func- tions, and helped you gain working experience that would enable you to get jobs during college between semes- ters, sumrner, and after college, said VOE Coordinator Mrs. Shirley Coco. The students went to VOE one period a day where Mrs. Coco played the role of a job cordinator and super- visor. Mrs. Coco said that the students didnit use textbooks and much empha- sis was put on learning budgeting. The atmosphere was casual and business- like. Mrs, Coco wasn't like a teacher, she was like a supervisor. It was just like an office atmosphere and adults in an office areri't always getting after you,'i said Senior Suzanne Dixon. At 12:30 the students went to their jobs which Mrs. Coco had located and for which the students had interviewed. The students got paid, course credit, and on the job experience. The employers hired the VOE students knowing that they were going to be training us to work in their compa- nies, said Senior Stephanie Borden. Some of the types of jobs the stu- dents had were typing, key operating, 148 Office Education filing, secretarial work, xeroxing, and management. They worked for Shell, Exxon, Stewart Title, G. L. Baker, Computer System, and Houston Home and Garden, magazine. All of these jobs were office jobs which only could be acquired through the recommenda- tion of the VOE program, said Senior Susie McKee. Susie added that some- times the VOE students didn't go to college, but they raised their position in the company they worked for. Mrs. Coco said VOE helped the stu- dents prepare for the business world and helped lead them to maturity. It prepares you to go out into the world, said Borden. It's a real good course to take in your senior year if you have the credits. You get out at 12:30, earn money and get good experience on the side, she said. DE For many students, Distributive Education was more than a class, it was a way to make money and survive.

First period was for people who were in first year selling, second period was for second year stu- dents, and third period was a new course geared toward merchandising.

With knowl- edge in the fundamentals of art, they soon developed a personal style in their work, We're trying to find an individ- ual style for each student but first they must leam the basics of art and how to use the tools, said art teacher Betty Bayley. Art I students concentrated on the different materials and methods with strong emphasis on the elements and principles of art. We made clay mugs in the unit on sculptureg I really enjoyed that, said Freshman Carol F urst. Print making, creative drawings, and mask designing were explored by Art II students. More serious consideration for com- position involved the talents of the Art III classes. Ink washes, etchings, litho- graph prints, and the process of abstraction provided a chance to prac- tice skills acquired in previous classes. Balance and proportion are important in a painting. You want the viewer's eye to follow the pattern of the draw- ing. Color adds to the effect by setting a mood with various intensities of the color, said Junior Cee Cee Conelly.

I traveled with the Youth for Understanding to Brazil for the sum- mer and took art classes at a Brazil- ian school. Their program is differ- ent. We did mostly pencil drawings and watercolor. said Michele. Stricter and more structured. the art program in Brazilian schools encouraged a strong concentration on still life drawings. We drew stat- ues and figurines. Michele said. Taking advantage of a trip to Mex- ico. Michele sketched the people. scenes. and buildings of Guanajuato, Mexico. lt gave me several ideas for future paintings that I'd been consid- eringf' said Michele. Trips to museums abroad have influenced Michele's appreciation of art. I visited the Louvre in Paris and the Prado in Madrid, she said. Studies at the Museum of Fine Arts offered extra time for Michele to work in her favorite medium. pencil sketches. l've taken classes in visual fundamentals where you're taught the basics of art and the principles behind what you see. Michele said. The classes at the museum meet once a week and offered classes on various levels. -30 - -Judi' Cleveland CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT COLORS are needed to give his painting the final touch, Tom Smith Stares blankly at his color selection.

As I see the future. I see it gettin even bigger and strongerf, said Conductor Lawrence Bush. l'I think it's im roved a whole lot, said Freshman grad Dalton. I've heard it's one of the best we've had in awhile. Fifteen members of the orchestra made the All-Region Orchestra which performed at Memorial December 7 under the direction of Abraham Cha- vez.

Con- cert mistress Sarah Kemery, Kira Obo- lensky, Laurie Olbrich, Dirk Silva, Chris Simon, Charles Stern. Jamie Turner. and Ed and Joe Wakil were members of this performing group. In addition to the All-Region people. there were four All-State orchestra members. These were the most presti- gious musical organizations in the nited States, said Bush. There isn't aniiplace in the nation like Texas. emery. Gayle. and Ed Wakil were in the High School Symphon , and Trent Hellerstein in the Youth Olrches- tra. which both performed February 9- ll in Houston. Orchestra students enjoyed being a part of the organization. lt gave us a chance to be with our friends and play music with them. said Janie Gayle. Mr. Bush was really a great teacher. I learned a lot from him. ACTIVE ORCHESTRA MEMBERS performed concerts for the student body during the year under the direction of Mr. Larry Bush. Orchestra took a lot of time, work, and preparation, and it was really worth it for something you enjoyed, ' said Sophomore Barbie Bennett. It was a challenge to me. It was really interesting - you really meet a lot of interesting people in the field of musicf' According to Sophomore Kira Obo- lensky, orchestra was like a melting pot with all different types of people. We played all types of music too - notjust classicalf said Kira. In the fall, the orchestra held their fundraising roject. We accounted for several million cavities selling 'Tur- tles',', said Bush. With that money the orchestra made a Christmas tour to the Homes of the Aged doing Christmas music. Among the orchestra's many activi- ties were a winter concert in Novem- ber. a concert prior to the March 16 UIL full orchestra contest, a 'kicker' type concert in earlry4April, and a spring concert in mid- ay, which fea- tured some members as soloists. We invited the junior highs to come per- form fat the spring concertjf' said Bush. Last year there were about 150 people on stage. - 30 - - Lorena Farb TOP: ORCHESTRA STUDENTS Laurie Olbrich and Holly Stroud tune their cellos prior to their daily rehearsal. Photo by Scott Waughtal.

PROG- RESSING EACH YEAR IN HER OWN ESTIMA- TION, Kathe Rivas has spent seven years playing the viola in junior high and high school orchestras. Kathe's the kind of person that really makes a school orchestra func- tion, said Conductor Lawrence Bush. Though Kathe has enjoyed the people and music, she admits that at times it's been tough. At concerts we'd like to have played better, said Kathe, but we try our best. As a freshman, Kathe was scared to death because there were only two violas then, and through the years they kept coming in. Since orchestra is so uncommon for this school, it's hard to get especially viola players, she said. Kathe feels that she has made improvement during her years in orchestra. I've progressed a lot con- sidering I don't take private lessons, said Kathe. Kathe was also an accomplished pianist. She was featured on the piano at the orchestra's Christmas tour. I plan to major in piano, said Kathe, who has played the piano for ll years. Musically, piano's my main love. Viola helps me achieve my goals in piano. - 30 - !Lorelra Farb Strings s f,g.g:,.1i.,,,f1:tr- BAD .akin lifea little ea ier Marching and medals form loudest exercise of spirit ike a closely-knit family, the band, furthered by Director Jack Greenberg, gathered its members and took family trips, threw its own parties and banquets, marched on the field and joined together to play concerts. It's a really good organization, said Band President Senior Linda Gall. Whether practicing marching music and steps for halftime or rehearsing concert pieces for contests, the students in band dedicated much of their time to band. A Sophomore Drew Masterson esti- mated that he spent five to six hours a day on band during marching season, including band during school hours, practice after school and then practice at home with his instrument. Marching season began in August and ended with the conclusion of foot- ball season. During the first week in August the incoming freshmen learned the basics of marching, then the rest of the band members joined the practice the second week. The last week in August the group began concentrating on the first show for football season, according to Masterson. Summer practice was necessary, because, said Masterson, alt just takes a while to get back in the swing of marching. Interspersed between marching sea- son and beginning of concert season, the band worked on auditioning in Brass November for region orchestra, said Linda. Those who made region tried out for state orchestra. However, this year no band members made state orchestra, although some students in orchestra succeeded in making state. In December, the symphonic band played a concert for the Rotary Club. Later the symphonic, concert, and cadet bands performed for Spring Branch Junior High. X Marching band, which was a combi- nation of the symphonic and concert bands, gave themselves a Christmas party where Drum Major Dirk Silva padded his belly to become Santa Claus. The party, at Senior Sarah Har- well's house, was held on the night of the last Friday before the holidays. Band students drew names and then exchanged toys which they donated to the DePelchin Faith Home. The band members presented a round trip ticket to Mr. Greenberg to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which, according to Linda, was the one thing he wanted to dof' The organization of the band was slightly complex to an outsiderg it was divided into four bands and a newly formed stage band. Training band, the lowest band, was basically a beginners classf' according to Senior Linda Donaho. '4They don't play in a group or ensemble, added Linda. SENIOR SARAH HARWELL and Sophomore Judi Cooper divide their attention between the music and conductor Mr. Jack Greenberg in concert band. Photo by Kathy Epps. Cadet band, the next level, competed in contest and was Nan active organized band with sections, said Linda. Cadet band occasionally combined with marching band in concerts. The second highest, Concert Band, combined with Symphonic Band, the top band, to march on field during football games. Competition in these bands was more active, with tryouts for bands at the end and middle of the year. With an estimated 17 players, Stage Band was created for the first time by Greenberg, according to Silva. We're just playing through a lot of music, said Silva. Band officers included President Linda Gall, Vice President Deirdre Happe, Treasurer Denise Pierson, and Secretaries Belinda Baird and Maurene Moffett. Band sweetheart was Janet Hacker. Auditions for district, region, area, and state chairs resulted in 18 students making region, 3 of them placing in top chairs.

Bar- bara, Drum Major Dirk Silva and Band President Linda Gall tried out for area. Top chairs in area were considered members in state. Since she made second chair in area. Barbara qualified for state. From symphonic band at Spring Branch Junior High, Bar- bara was one of four incoming freshmen who made symphonic band in high school. Once in senior high school. Barbara found the symphonic band a lot better. We got a lot more done, she said. Of the social atmosphere. she felt that students in marching band were family close. Since she already accom- plished about all that she could in sym honic band, Barbara was chalienged by other contests such as Concerto and Solo and Ensem- ble contest. I like all the outside bands. There was so much you can do, she said. Barbara's background in music beigan when she took piano in secon grade. In fourth grade she began playing the flute. -30 - f- Jackie Gelb TRYING TO CONCENTRATE ON THE MUSIC, and not on the photographer, Junior Debbie Hunt and Dixon Presswood listen carefully for tuning on a sight-reading piece, Dies Natal- lis.

Then. at the end of the quarter they take a dif- ferent form of the test and then they are given the results, explained Mrs. Mapes. During the time of the course. the students used a control reader which is a rate machine that lets the reader see only one line at a time.

Latin teacher Miss Karen Kirkland said students choose Latin, To improve their vocabulary and English skills and to improve test scores for those interested in law and medicine or sciences where things are Latin based. One parent viewed Latin as that horrid course I was required to take in junior high school yet a few students said that they took Latin at their par- ents' suggestion. My mother said it would be good for me to take for my English. Fresh- man Lisa Robertson said. My parents said you'll never forget it and it will always help you. said Sophomore Stephanie Hicks. A few students took Latin for some slightly different reasons. This class is an edu- cational experience that can't be denied. said .Iunior Steve Rowland. Vocabulary and grammar were not the only things touched upon in Latin. The Latin I classes did reports on ancient Rome's emperors: Latin II classes translated Caesars Gallic Warsg and a Roman feast was held by each Latin class just before Christmas in which everyone literally stuffed them- selves with such delicacies as baklava. Saturnalia cookies. tabouli. and poor- boys from Antone's. Like the other foreign language clubs, there was a Latin club, The offi- cers were: President Marjianne Nelson, Vice-President Charlotte Prendergast, Treasurer Katy Crawford, and Histo- rian Debbie Lansdowne. The club participated in an event called the Roman Games Cpatterned after ancient timesb and they planned to participate in them again this year. Besides going to the Roman Games. we also took part in Triad com- petition this yearf, said Vice-President Charlotte Prendergast, Triad is an annual district-wide foreign language competition.

It became increasingly clear to me s foreign families moved to our com- unity that we have a wealth of untap- ed resources in the form of women whose native tongue is German. said Mrs. Fox. Benefits were plentiful in this volun- teer program. Most important. stu- dents see the foreign language as a liv- ing tool for communication. said Mrs. Fox. Not only did Mrs. Fox feel the pro- gram was helpful, but German students did also. I can become more familiar with the language and its usage. said Sophomore John Payne. Women who were in the volunteer program shared their talents in a sec- ond Ianguage by expressing a variety of subjects. In their fthe volunteersj con- versations with the students, the volun- teers brought first hand knowledge of customs and events in their native countries. said Mrs. Fox. Strong feelings about the value of taking a foreign language were shared by both Mrs. Fox and the students.

Languages ' 163 MATH Blood weat and tear Math-ster minds battle problems of numbers, variables and equations. ombinations of knowledge in Geometry. Algebra, and Calculus helped students to succeed in various tournaments and contests. Sopho- mores. juniors, and seniors. picked by their math teachers, competed against other high schools such as Dulles, Clear Creek. Jerse Village, Richardson in Dallas. and lilos Alamos in San Anto- nio. in tests of their mathematical abil- ity. t'You've got to be good in math and dedicated enough to wake up in the morning and waste your Saturday, said Sophomore George Calfisch, who participated in a number of math con- tests. Various high schools sent letters announcing contests to Mr. Bill Hill, math department chairman. and then math teachers were asked to pick one or two of their best students to send to the contest. I liked to participate in contests and also I liked to exercise my mind. Jun- ior David Ronn said as to why he went to math contests. I went because I'm a fool. But it looks good on your college applica- tions. Junior Andrea Vine said. Usually the math contests consist of various tests with so homores taking the geometry or algelijra parts. juniors the trigonometry test. and seniors the tests pertaining to calculus, according to Ca fisch. The scores of these various teams are added together to give a total score for one hi h school. The Clear Creek Math Contest. though. was a relay with sophomores. juniors, and seniors each working on a different part of the same math prob- lem. with the answers needed for the next groulp to continue on the problem. Memoria placed second and sixth in the contest with the senior team and second team of juniors and sopho- mores. ' It was fun because it was so hard. said Sophomore Janis Doan. It seemed li eIdidn't know an thing. but I was surprised at how well I did, , she commented in reference to -the Dulles competition. You see a little bit of the country- side on these trips to various math con- tests. Calfisch said. The school paid for the motel and bus ride for the contestants when they needed to travel outside of Houston.

Ronn said, To get anywhere in this technological world. you must have a comprehension of math. Numbers can also be used to understand everyday occur- rencesf' according to Ronn. I Another major factor which influenced Ronn was his choice to enter medicine. I plan to go into medicine, so I would be stud- ying great amounts of math in college, said Ronn. His appreciation of math was a major factor behind Ronn's par- ticipation in math contests. I traveled to math contests so I could apply my knowledge to something other than problems out of a book. Even though Ijust encountered more problems, I liked to see different applications of a formula. said Ronn. Even thou h he didn't win a trophy or ribion in a math con- test, Ronn placed between sixth and tenth places. +30 - i Barry S dmma WHILE JUNIOR STUART NELSON FEEDS INFORMATION into the computer on the phone Junior Steve Orr types out the information that is printed out on sheets.

Biology ll. Chemistry II. Physics Il. and the sixth level of Spanish. French. or Ger- man. Most. however. felt the courses were not beyond their capabilities. Calculus students. according to teacher Mrs. Gladys Wood. covered basic methods of integration and dif- ferentiation. as well as preparing stu- dents for the Advanced Placement Test. Senior Karl Hood felt it was not difficult. It's all formulasf, he said. All you've got to do is memorize them. Classes consisted mostly of note-taking. and Mrs. Wood was fondly described as the bionic armf' She also gave suggested homework problems, according to Karl. with stu- dents putting problems on the board during class for two points on their six weeks average. Most of the students survived the year with the well worn battlecry HCALCULUS - FAIL! For those interested in pursuing a medical career orjust studying biology in depth. Biology II took a deeper look at the study of life. I want to go into medicine. Senior Diana Prince explained. and it's the only s ience I wanted to take. The course 'xpanded Biology I. she said. covering physiology. animal and plant phyla. genetics. and plants and how they grow. The entire third quarter was spent dissecting. It's not hard. Diana said. because there's very little outside work. Sheis fteacher Mrs. Carolyn Schofieldj got everything planned. She makes learn- ing more fun than most teachers do. With lectures two to three times a week. guest speakers and filmstrips thrown in. both Biology II classes C30 students over alll reached the end of the year a little wiser for the wear. If anyone desired more than a Chemistry I view of test tubes and lec- I66 Advanced level courses tures. Chemistry II teacher Mrs. Doro- thy Rae held class every day third period. It's a riot class Senior Les Kallos described. It's the same as Chemistry I. but more in depth. You don't cover as much. but it's much deeper. Topics covered. according to Les. included electron configurations. acids. bases. solubility. and molarity. The class size of 22 hindered students to a certain degree. When we have to work in labs. it's difficult. Senior Heather Hindman said. It's also diffi- cult to keep order. Physics ll. with ten enrolled. offered students the intimacy of a small class. Senior Martin Chenevert said he took it because l've had Chemsitry II: I'm interested in math . . . physics has lots of mathematics. The course. accord- ing to Martin, covered applying math to laws of nature and doing problems involving motion. expansion. and nuclear decay. Mr. Mike Saathoff taught, but it was almost completely independent. Martin said. It doesn't require all the memorization that other sciences do. Class clown Senior John Lee kept everyone amused until he got all the fun out of it he wanted. accord- ing to Martin. Students who studied a language two years in junior high and managed to stick out three years in high school could reach the foreign pinnacle of lan- guage in Spanish VI. French VI, or German VI. Spanish VI students read literature. plays. novels. and newspapers. accord- ing to Senior Deirdre Happe. She is in the class. she said. because I'm inter- ested in pursuing it probably in college. It's not hard. Spanish VI students spanned the entire day of Teacher Mrs. Winnifred Coterillo.

The third leg of advanced foreign anguage, German, was taken by only .wo students. Seniors Virginia Smith nd Kelly Truesdell. Taught by Mrs. ary Fox, students could either pre- mare for the advanced placement test or follow another program of literature. German VI is not a brainy course, Kelly stressed. People are often impressed when I tell them I'm in German VI, but I'm not fluent at all. Mrs. Fox explained the AP course's dif- ficulty. If one chooses to follow the AP course, a full year of reading - and it includes seven major late 19th and 20th century works, and a selection of German poetry - then it is a challenging but rewarding experience, she said. Forjuniors, brain power could be chan- neled into an expansion of American His- tory: AP History, similar to the German VI program. According to Nanet Ruzek, It fsubject matterl goes back before the explorers, then goes through our present history. Besides the history, Junior Eng- lish complemented the history in succes- sive periods in a pilot program to better prepare students for college entrance tests. lt's not hard if you study, Nanet assured. It seemed as if this was the stand- ard reply from the brains in the heavy courses. After all - it was only studying. -30- I WITH HER FEET PROPPED UP ON A DESK, Junior Karen Chadderdon attempts to find a comfortable position during her Advanced Placement American History class.

Several admitted defeat and laid their heads on their desks and peacefully dozed away the remainder of the period. Difficulty of the course seemed to depend on the teacher. Sophomore Carol Rosenfeld said. The coaches taught a lot easier. if you had a teacher like Mrs. May Munn or Mrs. Gwen Roberts you had it a lot harder. To keep classes interesting. teachers involved students in skits and discussions. We did a skit on the beliefs of Socrates. Aristotle and Plato. said Junior Mona Cuenod. It was really fun. Projects were popular with the history teachers. note cards. and writing a paper were two of the major ones. Sophomore Anne Bartlett said. 'fPoIitical cartoons and 'on the scene' news reporting were an important part of our newspapers. Sophomore Joe Bonaparte said. I liked writing a newspaper but doing notecards is a drag. -30- - Katie Cranford AMERICAN HISTORY Maps. colors. lectures. and reports - that's what freshman American History was all about. Students studied the events that happened in history from the revolution to present day. The students did reports and projects for the class. The most popular project was where food was brought to the class. Texas chili. apples. and apricots were some of the goodies that were brought for a regular Texas feast. One time we got to do an 1 70 History extra credit report. and boy did I need the extra credit so I baked a pecan pie and before we got to eat it it fell on the floor. said Freshman Linda Hilton. A big part of the school year were the maps. Ah! The maps. They had to be pencil perfect. with colors unified like the rain- bow. Freshman Tom Ragsdale said. I liked the maps. It's the only thing I got a good grade on. It was fun to see how many colors the ocean could be. One of the main emphases was put on the Presidents. A big report with notecards and a paper was required of the students. I had Kennedy and he was easy I guess. but the notecards were a hassle especially when we had to turn them in everyday. said Don McClure. Freshman Kathy Hansen said. The Constitution was really fun. We played games with it. My teacher used our behav- ior to show us what the Constitution was all about. One guy threw a paper wad across the room and the teacher yelled that that was against the constitutional rights of the class room. Everyone started using those kinds of ideas when anything happened in the room. It worked because I got an A on the test. A variety of techniques and tools were used to teach the students. Among them were closed circuit television. Time maga- zine's current event articles and vocabulary games. Freshman Brad Cole said. I like the television the best because it was better than taking notes on the lectures. American History was packed with homework and research but also with fun and games. Freshman Greg Lohman said.

It had a plain aqua door as the A implied and upon entrance one found about 60 marked up desks for students as well as a few for teachers. Decorated with posters and typical student projects, the room seemed normal enough. It didn't have much to live up to, as only a few years back it was boistering with new freshmen in an American History class. Something, how- ever, made A-32 different, for it was the home of a very special class third and fourth period. The class was CLEP, taught by Mrs. Eliza- beth Morrow and Mr. Mike Wright. The class combined the facts of government and English while preparing the students for the CLEP fCol- lege Level Examination Programj test at col- lege. As Memorial was the only school to offer such a class, that made it perhaps even more special. Mr. Wright and Miss Morrow both began planning for the class long before it started August 23, however. We were approaching at the close of last school year, Mr. Mike Wright said, when they were approached by the counselors. We were brave enough to try CCLEPJW, Mr. Wright said, and with that began a summer of search looking for various innovative ways to teach the new class. As the class lasted two straight hours, some definite advantages could be seen. After we have a speaker for one hour, Mr. Wright explained, we can discuss it the next hour while it is still fresh on their minds. CLEP seemed interesting' to many as 55 seniors signed up for the course. There was one small catch, as Belinda Baird explained, however. Once you were in the class, you couldn't get out, she said. While in, however, students experienced a different sort of classroom envi- ronment. With such a large' class, dicsussions were quite open, and perhaps therefore better. Katy Bremer said, We really got into some hefty discus- sions. Timed writings could last two hours instead of the traditional one. '4Some- times they gave us two hours to work on a paper, Nancy Irvin said. Perhaps one of the more imique things about the papers was that they counted for two grades, in government and English, although the student was still required to write only one paper. ' Special projects, as in some other classes, were also tackled by the stu- dents, but Mr. Wright and Mrs. Morrow tried to make each project as differ- ent as possible. We graded different aspects for the different types of pro- jects, Mrs. Morrow said. A ' 5 One of the many projects assigned during the year was that of researching a mayoral candidate. Each student was required to choose a candidate, find literature about him, and finally make a prediction of his outcome in the race. I was lucky enough to get the Nazi Party, Julia Browning said. I called up this one phone number and they offered me S4000 for killing a Black, Catholic, or Jew. The tape was later discovered by Houston officials and dis- banded. Morrow and Wright strayed away from traditional projects, however, such as a research paper. They've done a research paper, they know how to do it, . . . let's do something new now, Mrs. Morrow explained. Only 'K' students were allowed to participate in the program, and for some that was also a definite advantage. I knew I would be in with a selective group of people, Deidre Happe said. Although the teachers did not request 'K' credited students, that is the current standing, according to Mr. Wright. Although the course was named CLEP,'preparing for the college examina- tion was not the sole objective of the course. '6Enrichment is what we're look- ing for, lVh'. Wright said. ' We think the students themselves added a great deal to the course, Mrs. Morrow concluded, to try the course, they became that way too. The stu- dents opinions about the course seemed to reflect IVIrs. Morrow's statement. They said it would reduce the work load,'i John Murphy commented, and it definitely did. 0 ,THOUGH MR.

Miss Paula Kosclskey said. I've taught chemistry for 20 years and still don't know a single fact. That's hard for stu- dents to understand. Mrs. Rae said. Labs help in a subject that is based on theory. they explain a concept by see- ing the actual result. Chemistry labs involved learning procedures. mixing chemicals. and accurately recording results. Senior Biology Il student Charlie Stern said, Labs really stuff it into you. It's hard. but I really learned something. Junior Karl Rivas said. Labs gave students more than a one-dimensional view of physics and Biology. They strength- ened my view of the importance of sci- ence in the everyday world. Physics labs used several instruments for view- ing motion. gravity. and momentum in actual life. Along with class labs stu- dents had a project every few weeks that they chose. In physics labs you learned things first-hand that go on everyday around you and never knew why they hap- pened, said Junior Scot Kreiger. 30 -- ilfllflivlc Bfjrdnn and Elise Cnlemmi lee ..

The field irip was a good way to learn more about the Jcean while having a good time. Some students. such as Sophomore Char- ley Biegle. enjoyed the field trip purely for the fun of it. with no scientific goals atta- shed. I took my board along and did a lit- tle surfing. Galveston is not the hottest spot on earth to surf. but when we went it was okay. stated Biegle. Then there were those who went along on the trip for scientific interest alone. Senior llimmy Miller said. I collected a lot of lspecimens for my aquarium and learned a 'good deal about small marine life in shal- ilow areas. -Q- -va Junior Bob Shields said. I think the trip fulfilled its purpose. Through basic experi- ments with the water and environment around Galveston. we learned more about the ocean and its living things. Perhaps the value of the trip was summed up by what Junior Matt Lapine said. The field trip was worthwhile and I had a lot of fun while experimenting and fishing. I got to know my classmates a little more while traveling with them. HEALTH Two quarters of Health Education is required in the Spring Branch Independent School District for graduation. But. should health be a required subject? Miss Ann Wilson said. Health should be required but the curriculum should deal more with diseases rather than anatomy. Anatomy should be learned in science. She also said if the students have a background in anatomy then more time could be spent on diseases. their preventatives and their cures. Health seemed to overlap the other courses. Health teacher David Denny said. A lot of stuff in health is in Biology. all that is happening is health is being repeated. He believed health should be included with Physical Education. shallow waters off Jamaic Galveston. Some people think sh reduced. stated Randolph living things in it. he said.

Interest in sharks and in the ocean began when Randolph was quite young. I can remember the first time I saw a Jacques Cousteau special on T.V.

He has entered vari- the sub- ject of sharks and has done quite well. This year Randolph took Miss like Miss Lemm's course because of the way the class was conducted. I learned a lot about the ocean in a dis- cussion type atmosphere.

She also said the health teachers barely touch on these subjects. and certainly not in the great detail in which they could. I believe more time should be spent on Sex Education. the text we teach out of has no Sex Ed. whatsoever. said Miss Wilson. She believes that Sex Ed. is a major part of health education. Some people used to think of health edu- cation as a kiddy cartoon type course. how to brush your teeth and clean your ears. things like that. Health Ed. is starting to emerge from a Mickey Mouse reputation. said Miss Hemphill. Other teachers do try to stay by the book. Miss Hemphill said. Even though I don't issue the book. it is rather dated. some things never change and for that it is fine. Denny said. We pretty well have to stay within the contents of the book. Denny feels the goal of Health Ed. should be to develop a person totally. He said.

Through these trivial set- backs, the staff and photo ra hers managed to produce one yearbook and nine issues o the newspaper. According to Senior Darryl Yee, ' Photographers . . . you canit print 50 different pic- tures injust 2 minutes? The staff knew this was an impossibility. It was impos- sible for a photogra her to print 50 dif- ferent pictures 1n E minutes, but the staff also knew that it was not an improbability to print 50 pictures in three minutes - especially when the pictures were needed in a hurry. Jun- ior Tom Freireich said, . . . if you look in the yearbook, the pictures are 65 percent, the rest is layout and writ- ing - 35 percent? If this is true then the photographers should know why 99 percent o the staff is in the dark room yelling for pictures. What does it take to be a hoto ra- pher?

It got incon- venient at times, like when you wanted to go to a movie. Sometimes it inter- fered because you had to take pictures on Friday night, said Freireich. It was common knowledge that the photographers and the layout and writ- ing staffs did not get along. Neither de artment tried to intermix with the other department. Yee said, . . if there was a way to et around the bureaucracy of the staff it should have been tried.' The Journalism Deplartment had some modest photograp ers.

This is by no means a form of torture: rather merely one of many experiments per- formed in psychology. The experiment showed that when the light came on. the foot was supposed to be jerked away or a pin would be pricked into the foot. said Psychology teacher Mrs. Mary Caudle. lt was an example of conditional response. a learning process that once the light comes on. an instant reaction is needed or pain will occur. she said. Junior Ashley Laney said. We do a lot of experiments in Psychology. but I liked this one. When the light came on. the girls tended to just sit there and withhold the pain. while the guys would jerk their foot away. The guys were the ones to scream when they got poked.

The one the kids seemed to like best is the trust walk. where one per- son leads another blindfolded friend through the halls. It was really a lot of fun. she said. The people in the halls could never figure out what was going on. Senior Mark Wood said that Psychology made him more aware of the surroundings and feelings of man. A prime example. Mark said. was a question on a sample l.Q. test. lt showed a series of pictures of a bur- glar brcaking into a house. A white child put the series together showing the cop catching the burglar. but a black child arranged the pictures with the cop acting as an accomplice. he said. Miss Caudle said that the black kid could be put in a slow school for the way he put it together. Mark said. but it wouldn't be the kid's l.Q..just the area where he lived that made him put the series together that way. SOCIOLOGY Sociology is the scientific analysis of a social institution asa functioning whole. as it relates to the rest of society. To Senior Robert Lee it was. The scien- tific study of human behavior in groups, This was my first year here and I loved it. I got along great with the students: they were really intelligent. said Sociology teacher Miss Stone. People often mistake psychiatry for sociology: actually they are totally differ- ent. Psychiatry deals with a person's mental or emotional behavior. while sociology deals with human behavior in groups. said Miss Stone.

Wood Shop offered many advantages. to a student. said Senior Todd Jensen. If one followed the course of Wood Shop I to Wood Shop Il. he would become very suc- cessful in handy work. Many students learned to file. sand. burn and shave wood in the proper way. If you don't put the wood together properly or mend it in the correct way. it becomes use- less. said Jensen. When you ruin the wood you are working with. well naturally it cannot withstand what you are planning for it. I am really glad I took Wood Shop. said Jensen. because I am making some speakers for my stereo. And in this class you can make what you want. and not what the teacher wants. if you know what I mean. Wood Shop was a course for students who liked to notice progress. This class also gave a student the feeling of success. I think everyone should try Wood Shop. even girls. said Jensen. You will really get into what you are making. METAL SHOP Individual projects. where the students drafted their own plans and detailed dimen- sions. became a challenge for metal shop students.

The Business Department was a very popular elective department because the classes could be used for personal use as well as in jobsf, stated Mrs. Coye Emmons. department chair- man. The business courses consisted of Typing I. Typing II. Shorthand I. Busi- ness Law. General Business. Account- inv I and Accounting II. :This was the first year that Account- ing II was offered. The classes were big and the department was upleasedv wit the response they received. said Mrs. Emmons. The typing classes gradually changed from manual ty ewriters to electric. and they receivedp new tables and chairs to fit the new typewriters. The accounting classes also received many new items such as display calcu- lators and improved accounting books. Business has always been a good field because of choices in careersf, said Mrs. Necil Meushaw. The classes wereevenly divided between guys and girls in beginning typing but there were more girls in advanced typing, she added. Mrs. Emmons said.

Susan wants to become a certified public accountant and possibly have her own business. Later. when she graduates from law school, she wants to join a law firm as a lawyer and tax accountant.

Counselor Tom Lewis lost his 1947 Ford his freshman year at the University of Oklahoma. I parked it fthe carl and went to a party. The next day I forgot where I left it and I never found itg explained Lewis. Lewis has graduated from losing cars to rebuilding the engines of cars. He has rebuilt around 207 cars over the years, including a Porsche, an Alpha Romeo, a couple of Mercedes and M.G.'s and even a Morgan, which is a car that looks the same as it was made 50 years ago in Britain. Love at first sight has a different connotation for Lewis. I have always liked sports cars and that has put me in touch with people with similar inter- ests, he said. Hanging around mechanics, you naturally pick up things, I don't ever remember learning how to take apart an engine. It was a gradual thing. I just look at a car and sort of fall in love. I look at the exterior of the car, and I won't fool with a car with a bad body, said Lewis. I think it is as important to work with your hands as well as your head, justifies teacher turned counselor Lewis. My wife doesn't.mind my rebuilding cars at home,'in her garage, it saves on repair bills. I still donit have a car without any problems though, said Lewis. Buying cars to fix is not the cheap- est hobby but Lewis has even gotten around that minor drawback. Selling the cars that he has rebuilt might not turn in a profit for Lewis, but it makes his hobby a lot easier to afford. -- 30 - Cynthia Cangv EXAMINING THEIR BROKEN WATER PUMP, Junior Counselor Tom Lewis and son John try to figure out what to repair next.

He is now a superintendent in SBISD. Photo by Trent Rosenthal. Faculty Les Tucker - a teacher at heart e went to North Kansas City High School. He played the trum- pet and ran track and played freshman football. Later, he had his own band. He grew up and became the band director at Memorial Junior High and is now the Superintendent of Spring Branch Independent School District. He is Mr. Les Tucker. Besides being superintendent, Les Tucker likes to hunt deer, squirrels and doves, fish for bass and raise plants. Some people think I have a hobby of plants, he said, but,it,s, just because we have a townhouse and instead of taking care of the yard, I take care of the plants. However, his favorite hobby is for he and his wife, Stacy, to entertain guests. My biggest hobby is people. Love to have people over. It sounds like I'm running for a political office but I'm not, he said. Mr. Tucker enjoyed being band director but had a desire to help stu- dents on a wider basis. He said, The main reason I left Memorial Junior High is that I wanted to help students on a broader scope, and be able to make better program for students. Whenever Tucker is asked what his occupation is, he replies that he is a teacher. I feel it is extremely impor- tant that teachers and administrators maintain a closenessj, he said, I think we fadministratorsj all should remem- ber that we were once teachers and teachers should remember that also. -30.- - Nancy Wright said the new system is much simpler than the old one. lt's cut my workload in half, she said.

The creation of a summer arts and prafts company by Mr. Cook and his avife reflects his enjoyment in designing sets for the stage. Mr. Cook said he reg- stered the company, entitled Book Craft Creations, with city hall about :hree years a go: We made bread dough jewelry, dec- rated sculpture, and macrame among ther things, and sold them at art hows, Mr. Cook said. , Because of the time involved with his teaching duties Mr. Cook said that the company is only a summer project. ing, set building, and designing during his high school and college theatre work. He claimed he was pretty good in the school plays although Mr. Cook now turns his talent to teaching and directing drama productions at Memo- rial. He was originally hired in Houston as debate coach for Spring Branch, another aspect of the theatre world. Drama is fun to be involved in, Mr. Cook said. Mr. Cook said he majored in English in college but later added on work in speech and drama. I decided in high school that I wanted to be a teacher, but I didn't know about drama, Mr. Cook said. He added that he never con- sidered acting or directing profession- ally, but that he has noticed some promising students in his drama classes. Bruce said that Mr. Cook is willing to compromise and do what the stu- dents want to do more often. -- 30 - WHEN NOT TEACHING, drama teacher Mr. R. L.

Just as when students know that ey have worked hard and done well a test, so too does a teacher know hen she has done well, and'I think re been a good teacher, said the 18 ar veteran of the teaching trade who, her third year at Memorial, has been evated to the position of Chairman of le Social Studies Department. Described by one of her past stu- nts as the,most honest, smiling, per- nable teacher I've ever had, Mrs. ibcock, who received her degree at tm Houston University, prefers to lke out her frustrations not on stu- :nts, but rather on the many weeds at invade her gardens at home. 'Tm lly a farmer at heart, she said. I d it much easier to take out my frus- ations in the yard. I think we're finally home to stay, ys Mrs. Babcock, who has taught ds of nearly all ages in some form of icial Studies everywhere from Pirma- sens, Germany to Alice, Texas, and who now thoroughly enjoys living where I was born and raised. Expressed in her two AP History classes and one freshman history class, Mrs. Babcock is a firm believer in the opportunity for students to be honest in their ideas within the classroom, not just on the outside away from teachers. As long as you can back-up what you say, you darn well ought to have the right to say fit, she commented. She feels she learned a great deal about stu- dent beliefs in' her sociology classes which she taught last year. I've always wanted to be a good teacher, because I love working with students, and I'm really looking for- ward to Close-up, said Mrs. Babcock. She acted as the chaperone for Memo- rial's delegation to Washington on this year's Close-Up program. Outside of her school functions, Mrs. Babcock enjoys spending time perfect- ing her bridge playing, and on warm weekends, she and her husband and son journey up to Lake Livingston for activities in their house there. When she feels a bit bored, Mrs. Babcock also loves to spend time tole painting, which she describes as color on color fin- ished on canvas, boards, or formica. - 30 - - Bobby Lapin ,y:gvx, .e.- ' .. e J R 'lt .

Dig llli iiiff' i Yfiliff ll Mel Qi! l he midst! evident characteristic of Memorial was the abundance of talented people in every field. They were dedicated to their cause and built up sweat and sore muscles to prove Memorial was number one. No matter what kind of field. water. court or track they performed on, they drew a crowd. Ath- letes were the best: they set records and broke records. These participators formed teams that could play together and work like plow horses together. They were pushed to the limit by respected and loved coaches who prided their team's strength. The toughest challenge was excelling the previ- ous years' record and continuing a fine reputation. Confidence played the key role along side hours of practice in athletic success. Sports was a serious subject to the athletes. Practice and dedication surpassed all other objects when meet or game day arrived. The time had come to prove themselves. They had a lot to live upto. . . The magic of spirit lfrieol Hoi pirit. From a seventh grader dressed in red and white, waving a banner at a football game for his future team, to a Wrangler dressed jauntily in a barrel at a pep rally, Spirit varied in forms and intensity. What is spirit? Webster's dictionary gives 14 different definitions of spirit, ranging from vital spirit to courage. You can be in spirits, cheerful or lively, you can be out of spirits, gloomy or depressed. You can't touch spirit. You can't really see spirit. But you can feel it. When it is right, it pervades the air like the scent of fresh-cut pine wood, and when it is wrong, well, we've had some of both. Beginning with the football season, spirit had its vicissitudes depending on the moods of the students and how the various teams fared. Following last year,s excellent By Catherine Chriss pre-district play upset some students, the team won every other game until the end. Venturing to the Astrodome for Bi-district play, the Mustangs lost to Kashmere on November 5. CHANNELS OF SPIRIT There were some changes with the football season. Because of a new gym floor, two pep rallies were held out- doors. Band member Rene Abat thought the first pep rally, which was held out- side in drizzly weather, contributed to a lack of spirit at the beginning of the season. In the gym everyone's together, and yelling, but outside I couldnit hear the cheerleaders yelling and I was right by them, she said. Cheerleader Marjorie Wandel agreed with Rene. It was a lot noisier in the gym so it made more spirit, she to be outdoors, was moved to the audi- torium because of rainy weather. After the pep rally, the Wranglers bom- barded Sigma Gamma in the courtyard with waterballoons. Wrangler Presi- dent Fred Stow said, We had heard that afternoon that Sigma Gamma was going to throw water balloons at us. We all went over to Sav-On and bought some balloons and went to the showers and filled them up. We were ready for them and they didn't have any bal- loons, we didn't want to waste them, so we just threw them? The rest of the pep rallies which fol- lowed were all back in the gym, much to the relief of everyone. Wranglers for the first time, sat next to Sigma Gamma instead across the gym. Sigma Gamma President Karen Provenzano said this was to prevent the new gym floor from getting scratched record, the Varsity Football Team went said. . almost as far this year.

OVERTIME DUTIES Spirit for many began in early August. The Markettes practiced an hour or two five days a week, learning and perfecting routines and getting in shape for the season. Developing bobby sox tans, the girls marched on the hot asphalt preparing for the sea- son. Joining the Markettes was the band. Summer practice carried into after- school practice. Practice for both the band and Markettes usually lasted until 5 p.m. Markettes began with warm-up exer- cises and usually either practiced the routines in the gym or marched to the church parking lot where they prac- ticed the half-time show with the band. Some of the songs played were Dixief' Sir Duke,', Star Wars, and Johnny Comes Marching Home. Everyone really got tired of 'Dixief said bass clarinet player Rene Abat. We played it a whole lot. Sophomore Markettes and Cadet band members anxiously awaited each week's line up, to see if they got to march. Aside from the marchers. the Markettes at half-time had flag hold- ers. These girls rehearsed with the rest of the band and drill team. Most of the routines we do on the field are very old. This year was an exception, said ,Junior Catherine McClesky. Catherine cited Basin Street Blues as. an example. The Markettes have been performing Basin Street for nine years. Afternoon practice at times lasted until 6 p.m. 'gAbout the second time we'd gone over a drill, Miss Josey would tell us exactly how it was. If it was bad sheid tell us, Catherine said. She added that sometimes the band would quit and Miss Josey thought the Markettes needed more practice, they would keep practicing. She won't yell but she gets a tone of voice that is very authoritative. She realizes that we're all hot and tired but we're gonna keep going over it till we get it right, Catherine added. Trombone player Billy Cohn thought that afternoon practice some- times dragged on and on. Some of the people like it. but after four years it gets pretty boring. We go over the drill hundreds of times so the people who can't figure it out, can get it straight and sharpen it as sa up, Billy said. FLASH GLOVES ln the hustle and bustle of marching season, it was a relief to some sopho- more Markettes that they had a secret pal. Game days not only meant bring- ing flash gloves to school and being in a Friday Markette suit, but it also meant that a senior or junior Markette would shower her secret pal with packs of Big Red chewing gum, hobby horses. or anything to boost spirit. 'KWhen we played Kashmere, l got a doll that looked like a Kashmere girl, a little black, girl. said sophomore Betsy Howell. Although she tried to guess who her secret pal was, she did not know until the Secret Pal Party, on December 6. 'Alt was a costume party, and we had to walk in our costumes in front of Miss Josey, and they judged us on the most original, cleverest. or fanciestf' said sophomore Barbara Trowbridge, winner of the cleverest. The Markettes, especially the sen- iors, anxiously awaited the Markette banquet held at Memorial Drive Coun- try Club on December l. Prizes were awarded to the girls sell- ing the most Christmas cards at the six- teenth annual banquet. For the third consecutive year, Valarie Holladay won the top sales award for selling over S3400 in cards. Valerie received a tro- phy and a watch as a reward. Best All-Around Member, elected by the members, resulted in a tie between Drum Major Rebecca Watts and Cap- tain Cheryl Sumner. Seniors who marched in every game for three years to receive a trophy were Carol Devlin, Kimberly Gantt, Deborah Stork, and Rebecca Watts. Proceeds from the Christmas card sales helped finance the 540.000 trip to Washington, D.C. to march in the Cherry Blossom Festival Parade. Tak- ing inventory at Neiman-Marcus raised additional funds along with money left over from the 1976 Peach Bowl trip to Atlanta. A chartered plane flew the 97 girls, Sponsor Dorothy Josey, and chaper- ones to Crystal City, Virginia, where they stayed in the Marriot from March 29 to April 2. Sightseeing encompassed Virginia, Maryland, and the Washing- ton area where the group wisited the Smithsonion Institute, the U.S. Mint, the Capital, and the White House for a personal tour. Girls placed a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and took a moonlight cruise of te city by boat. 1 -KN gx 4 NNI My I., Y , Mig 'TG Y V 1 , .

At the home of Karen and Allison Andrews, both new Markettes, the sen- iors set off a burglar alarm when they entered the house. Sophomore Holly Micklewright said. A group of us were pulled in Rhonda Sands' pickup truck. If We didnlt sing the spirit song they'd shoot us with a water pistol. It was hilarious. Breaking out of tradition this year. was the senior kidnapping. Pointing out that it was very unorganized. Jun- ior Catherine McClesky said it was thought up and carried out hastily. Catherine's group kidnapped Seniors Suzy Caraway, Kim Gantt, and Bar- bara Reilly. We kidnapped them around 4:30 a.m. and brought them flowers. We woke them up by blowing whistles and we put bandanas around their faces. Then we took them to St. Cecila's and made them do routines on top of the car, said Catherine. The girls were then taken to the church parking lot where they took part in relay races. The Markettes finally settled at Jun- ior Julie McDougal's house for break- fast. The band usually had its banquet toward the end of the year. The pur- pose of the banquet, according to Sen- ior Billy Cohn, is to announce and elect new officers, give out gag awards. and provide a good meal and good enter- tainment. The band also has a Christ- mas party every year. On December I7. the band congregated at Senior Sara Harwell's house to celebrate. Everyone picks names and you go out and buy a gag gift for that person. Someone dresses up as Santa Claus. This year it was Dirk Silva. and he gives out presents. Then we give it all to charity, like a guy gets a baby doll that would be good for a small girl, said Cohn. Band Sweetheart Janet Hacker was elected at the last game.

It was hot and tiring every time until the weather got cold. and then it was cold and tiring, unless it rained and then it was wet and tiring, remarked Band Director Jack Greenberg. During two of the halftime shows. Drum Major Dirk Silva added an unu- sual salute while the band played Star Wars. The crowd enjoyed it. It was kinda an idea I had. Mr. Greenberg had a really fancy sword in storage so I did a drum major salute using the basics I'd learned and I added my own frills and spins, Silva added. Silva said that all of the drum majors in the past had wanted to use the sword. It was an opportunity I'd been waiting for. Silva said. FLUFF GIVES AUXILIARY AID Though practice for the band and the Markettes began each Monday afternoon, soon after. other'groups began planning for the coming week- end. Fluffs. Samms. J'aides. and Sigma Gamma all participated in baking cookies. wrapping lockers and putting up posters . . . in support of their des- ignated football player. A few days before the game ffresh- man football games were usually on Thursday afternoonsj we would get together and decide who would do what, said Fluff member Jensy Myers. For his fMark Shackelford'sJ birth- day we wrapped his room. It took us 2 hours to do it and it took him I5 min- utes to undo it, exclaimed Jensy about Mark's birthday wrapjob.

We tried to kidnap him at 4:30 a.m. but he wasn't home so we went over to John Schumackeer's house Lhis best friendj. Unfortunately, the girls could not get in the house. Along with cookies and cakes. Boo- zie and Beth also gave Sid pacifiers and diapers, because of his nickname Baby Womack. One other unusual incident was the time Boozie and Beth stole some of Sid's shirts and pants and wore the baggy clothes on game day that week. Boozie and Beth estimated that they spent 5150 on Sid, sometimes spending S20 a weekend on just wrapping his house. We did everything for him, said Beth. Both Boozie and Beth enjoyed being a Samm for Sid. It was a blast. We rowled them up. According to Beth. how much fun you had depended on the guy you got. One of the best uwrapjobs' done on the school, according to many students was the Spring Branch game when the Samms wrapped it. Virtually covered in red and white. streamers and posters covered the school giving it an appearance of a huge colored tent. Many of the Samms stayed up decorating the school that night until ll:l5. J'AIDES OUTPOWER J .V. J OCKS J'aides President Elise Coleman said that most of the J'aides wrapped their player's rooms, brought them cookies and cakes, and wrapped their desks and lockers all football season. Elise's group of five girls bought their football player. Ben Hart, a shirt at Print-a-Shirt that said J.V. Stud. According to Elise, one of the funni- est things they did for Ben was the kid- napping. We kidnapped Ben and four other guys and took them to Interna- tional House of Pancakes. Every girl was nominated. We took the top three and we voted on them, she said. The jocks, with lipstick smeared on their lips, were forced to sing for the J'aides. The girls then took them to the school. Along the way a policeman stopped them. After Karen Ramsey explained the situation they w'ere allowed to go on. We played football then. They were trying to outshow us, but we beat themf, said Elise proudly. ' Elise thinks that the jocks appreci- ated their work. They never tell you but you walk by and hear them talking. you know they dof' she said. Looking around at the wrap job at the school. one Junior Varsity jock said, The thing that's so neat is when you see your name in three feet letters across the front of the school. Cee Cee Connely, also in J'aides. said, They never say anything about it but they get upset if you don't do any- thing. ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET Sigma Gamma is the only spirit group that is allowed to wrap houses and, according to President Karen Pro- venzano, they wrapped a lot of Varsity football players' houses. Karen esti- mated that each group of girls wrapped their guy's house about three times dur- ing the football season. One evening, according to Sigma Gamma member Susan Beamon, about 20 girls went out and wrapped 4 houses. Using about 90 rolls of toilet paper on one house a night, Susan said it got expensive. The six Sigma Gamma girls that wore the shirts with Clay's Classy Chassis printed on the back gave Sen- ior Clay McMordie a dinner one Fri- day night. He liked it a l0t: said Susan Beamon. Approximately 180 girls were in Sigma Gamma. Groups of six girls were assigned to each Varsity Football player. Each group was assigned to one game and they'd get together with four other groups and do a two or three minute skit during that pep rally, said Karen. Karen's group tried to do ingenious things such as wrapping Ed Womack's house outside as well as inside. They gave him a dinner, wrapped his locker and car, and even brought him donuts in the mornings. - Because of a new gym floor, during pep rallies, Varsity Football players had to sit between Sigma Gamma and the Wranglers on the bleachers instead Continued on page 210 Continued from page 209 of out on the floor as they used to do. Administrators thought the 55 chairs would damage the new surface. Varsity football player Gig Settegast did not like sitting on the bleachers. It makes you seem like you're just part of the audience. When you're sitting out on the floor it makes you feel like every- body is cheering for you, Gig said. Sigma Gamma decided that buying a red cushioned carpet would solve the problem. With Principal Wayne Scha- per's consent, Sigma Gamms and the Booster Club bought the red gym car- pet, splitting the cost. This enabled the Varsity players to sit on the gym floor again. Costing S450, the rug will help to keep the tradition of the football play- ers apart from the student body. For a month between October and November. the big flashing sign at Memorial City blinked Go Memorial Go and Memorial has more horse- power 6 times an hour, 24 hours a day. Sigma Gamma paid for the added spirit. The guy let us have it for dirt cheap, said Karen. Karen added that a lot of Varsity players took their Sigma Gamma girls out to dinner after football season was over. WRANGLERS TONE IT DOWN Senior Mark Christiansen, a Wran- gler, said Wranglers had much to do with school spirit, because a lot of underclassmen look up to the seniors so they kinda go along with the spirit. We were trying to be halfway peaceful this year. lf we got caught, it would ruin it for everybody, Mark said. Wranglers have been basically known for beer, hell-raising, and carry- ing onf' he explained. We did a few things. We took one of the schools' mascot we played but we never let it stay at one house for too longf, Mark admitted. Being a Wrangler meant going to a lot of parties. We had at least one party per game. Sometimes we had a party before a game and another after the game. As the season went on. we had more parties, Mark said. Wrangler T-shirts caused no trouble.

Continued from page 210 'Though they did supply the Wranglers with a Sl200 keg fund, many Wran- glers had their own shirts designed by Print-a-Shirt. Headbuster Mark Christansen said, No one liked them so everyone went out and made their own. For the Brazoswood game the Wran- glers had their own private parade. It resembled a funeral procession. A Wrangler played dead on top of one of the cars with a Confederate flag on top of him. We knew it was a success because the Markettes turned around and looked at us. It was the only time they ever paid any attention to us, laughed Mark. While a major part of Wranglers is parties and hell raising, Wranglers also had routine duties they did for each game. They were in charge of bringing out the big run-through each game after halftime and they were responsi- ble for the mascot. The Wranglers left for the games at 6 p.m. with the Mustang in the back of a pick-up truck. When we started out we had a convoy going out there, Mark said. Four Wranglers were allowed on the field to watch over the mascot. SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE Although they lacked the 76 trom- bones, the student body still had the necessary elements to form the Spring Branch game parade. The marching band, drill team, cheerleaders, football teams, hundreds of club members, and even a unicyclist all took advantage of the 2:00 break to begin the parade on November 10, a day of excitement as well as quarter exams. We had two police cars, an ambu- lance, and a fire engine, Student Council President John Landa said. The police escorted the mass of stu- dents from the starting point of the parade at the fieldhouse parking lot, across Echo Lane, through the back parking lot, and finally to the gym, where the pep rally began. There were lots of clubs that were there, said Landa. When everybody participates, spirit goes up. Beginning with a special Friday night pep rally, Homecoming weekend was capped off with a 9-3 victory over Stratford and a successful Homecom- ing dance. At halftime, the three Homecoming Queen finalists, Cecile Closmann, Gala Holt, and Terry Wood, were escorted to the field by their fathers, and Cecile was announced as the Homecoming Queen.

This year everyone was out to get us, said Rachel Lee. The second time around there wasn't as much enthusiasm, Greg King said. Varsity Football player Chris Malham thought the team spirit was good but the school spirit was down. Senior Charlie Bejjani thought everyone became used to the winning. Varsity football player Will Winsauer said, The spirit is generated from the student body to the football team. I believe the student body is behind the team if it's good or bad. If we have great pep rallies. getting fired up by them helps us a lot. Will added. We didn't advance as far as last year. but we were more of a team than last year. Everyone looked forward to the games in the Astrodome. One football player said. We thought about it all season. It was a special opportunity and a great sensation. Markette Carol Devlin said, I liked the dome games. We didn't really cheer that much. We watched the games. Senior Nancy Wright said. The Astrodome game we won was the best. .lust thinking you're in the Astrodome is something special. Summing up the year's season. Will Winsauer noted: We had to work for it.

Before a ,football game, players got taped up and dressed. Sophomore strong safety Greg de Geurin said, At least half of them tplayersj would get taped up. lt took a fourth of a mll for a foot.

So homore quar- terback David Leiper said, Your ancles needed it very much because they are probably the weakest joints. Your knees also were important to get wrap- ped. De Geurin added, lf you hurt something you got it taped up. Next on the agenda was getting mentally prepared. Varsity tackle Charlie Bejjani said, We were think- mg about everything we were supposed to do. 'lhoughts were generally about the game and the other team.

The coin is tossed and the players line up preparing for the kickoff and the begin- ning of the game. For the Varsity foot- ball players, the season did not begin with the kickoff of the first game, but rather at the beginning of August. We worked from 4:00 to 6:00, lifted' weights, ran wind sprints, and bleach- ers, said linebacker Kiki DeAyala. The season opened with a 47-0 win over Clear Creek. The seven touch- downs of the game were made by full- back Walter Rowland, halfback Brian Womac, who rushed 53 yards for the 7 points, safety Ken Durkee, quarterback Greg Dalton, end Mike Morris, and wingback Boyd Brigman with two scores. Mike Weir added to the scoring with five PAT's. Both Rowland and Womac rushed for over 100 yards, with Rowland rushing 114 yards and Womac, 123 yards. ' Even with a second half comeback, the Mustangs lost to Brazoswood 25- 34. Both Morris and Weir caught touchdown passes of 65 and 21 yards respectively. Dalton's pass to Morris was the longest throw of the season for the quarterback. Brigman and Womac added on the other scores. The defense allowed Bay City only 43 yards rushing and passing. Defen- sive tackle Carlos DeAyala recovered a Black Cat fumble in the end zone for one of the defense's two touchdowns of the season. Weir kicked two PAT's while Rowland tacked on a touchdown and a two point conversion. The Mus- tangs won 2210. DISTRICT BEGINS A 14-10 win over Victoria ended the pre-district games. VGfSIfY Football Depth design by Hollis Hughes and Jan Zuher District began with a 6-0 win over Northbrook. The defense allowed the Raiders only four yards rushing and passing and no first downs. Rowland ran for 115 yards on 25 carries, setting up the only score of the game. Womac, from three yards out, made the six points. Three bombs occurred during the Westchester game, though two were only threats, but the third was a 14-9 victory over the Wildcats. Tackle Eric Schulz recovered a punt return fumble which set up a touchdown for Row- land. Morris made the other score on an 11 yard drive. BATTLE OF NUMBER. 0NE'S With a 9-3 win over Stratford, the Mustangs' number one defense stop- ped the Spartans number one rated offense. Weir kicked a 35 yard field goal and Rowland made one touch- down to cap off the scoring. Safety Ken Durkee retumed a punt for 95 yards and a touchdown during the Spring Woods game in which the Mustangs-blanked the Tigers 28-0. Brigman ,was leading rusher with 90 yards and one touchdown. Rowland and Womac made the other two scores while Weir kicked all four PAT's. The Mustangs ran over Alief 35-7. The offense had 358 yards rushing while the defense held the Bears fo 121 yards. Both McMordie's and Carlos DeAyala's fumble recoveries set up touchdowns for Rowland. Rowland rushed 133 yards on 22 carries. Dalton, Morris. and Womac finished off the scoring with touchdowns.

The defense held Westbury to only 89 yards rushing while the offense scored 16 points to win 16-5. Catching a 50 yard pass by Dalton, Morris went in for the first score. Womac then returned a kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown which gave the Mustangs the Bi-District champi- onship. Regionals were played against Kash- mere who won 26-21 with a last minute touchdown. Carlos DeAyala began the scoring with 24 and 40 yard field goals. Durkee returned a punt 57 yards for the first touchdown. Reserve quarter- back Rick Matteson scored the two point conversion. Rowland scored the last touchdown. Coach Les Koenning said, We didn't lose to Kashmere, we just ran out of time. A PAT ON THE BACK The season officially came to an end December 8 with the traditional ban- quet held in the Spring Branch Coli- seum. Certificates of Achievement were given to Durkee for his record punt return of 95 yards, Carlos DeAyala for his 40 yard field goal. and Rowland for being leading rusher with 2124 yards in 2 years.

We have to make sure we have some- thing to replace anything that breaks - helmets, shoulder pads, or anything trainers taped ankles, hands, knees, and elbows to prevent possible injuries, Tuttle said. In addition, he said, they taped bobos, a term defensive tackle face, he turns his eyes from the slow- moving football game to the sidelines. Suddenly his eyes grow wide with they might leave at the field house. Each manager was responsible for Carlos DeAyala created for little cuts and bruises. amazement as he becomes fully engrossed with the action around the bench. Consequently, he forgets about the game. if W atching trainers and managers at work eitciti during a game may not be as ng as the action on the field, but if one does decide to focus his attention to the sidelines, he might be surprised to see helmets fixed in less than 30 sec- onds, or a swollen ankle attended to in between plays. , As managers of the Varsity Football Team, Senior Bill Clark and Junior Jon Randolph feel their job is more impor- tant than the average fan may think. People arrive at the football stadium right before a game, and they don't 'realize that we've been out there for an hour or two hours, getting ready, said Randolph. We've got to be here all the time the repairing some sort of equipment dur- ing a game or practice, Randolph said. Sometimes you'll have to fix a helmet in 30 seconds, he said. .lust as time is an important element in a ma.nager's job, Varsity Trainers Junior Ted Grove and Sophomores David Tuttle and Harris Currie believe time and awareness are factors in mak- ing a good trainer. If someone gets hurt, you have to know how to treat them, said Tuttle. The most impor- tant thing, though, is the preventive taping, and that's mostly what we do. The key to being a good trainer is to be able to tear the tape first, because most people can't do it, said Grove. Sometimes, when you tape them fplayersj, they don't want you to tape them, said Grove. So it's important to be friends with them or you really can't do your job. Before practices and each game, the It kind of came from when Carlos started calling little things ibobosf he said. When Kelley fKenj got injured he said it wasn't a bobo anymore, but a booboo because he was out for two weeks. Becoming a trainer was not as glam- orous as Tuttle thought it would be. Ted asked me to be one, and made it a little more glorious than it wasf' he said. He mentioned that you get to go to all the games free and that you get to know all the players, but he didn't say anything about the hard workin it? If a player became injured during a game, Grove explained, the procedure of treatment was, First we find out what's wrong, and if it's possible, we'll treat them on the field, he said. It's just an ordinary common thing. You might have to calm the player down and get him to sit still though. -- 30 - -Susie Woodhams Varsity Football ' 223 VARSITY SCORE BOX MHS Opponent Clear Creek 47 1 O Brazoswood 25 34 Bay City 22 0 Victoria 14 10 Northbrook 6 O Westchester 1 4 9 Stratford 9 3 Spring Woods 28 O Alief 35 7 Spring Branch T 20 6 Westbury 16 5 Kashmere. s j S 21 26 'CWon 1O,.Lost.2J g By Susie ith his body sprawled across the 30 yard line, the young man grunted a little, cussed a lot, and repeatedly slapped his hands on the astroturf in efforts to overcome the pain in his left ankle. As team trainers aided the injured's safety, he muttered a few foul words and then stopped, and thought to himself, So you're injured. Well, so now what? For the moment, as well as the days to come, no amount of bitter complain- ing will make the pain go away. He will have to adjust to sittingout the rest of the game or even practice the following week. Once he is ready to play again, he may have to toi win back his starting position. : 1 I Along with tackles, touchdowns, penalties, and sacks, injuries are a part of the game of football. Like many aspects of the game, those physical mishaps involve more than the specific plays in which they occurred. You're always going to have a cer- tain amount of touchdowns, tackles, and injuries, said Head Coach Les Koenning. A person feels like, if he's injured, he should rest. I feel like he should keep in the best physical condi- tion until he's well, Koenning said. 'Tm sorry about an injury, but thatls part of the game, he said. The thing that concerns me is the crippling injury?

Somebody hit my knee, and I heard it pop twice. I thought it was broken, he said. I hit the ground, and coaches were yelling 'Hit him, hit him,' and I said I thought, 'oh, good grief - I'm not going to be able to play? Throughout the season, the Mus- tangs were fortunate to only have two major injuries, that of McCulloch and defensive end Ken Kelley, who suf- fered a recurring knee injury. The majority of the team said they had experienced some sort of pain. i Kelley was bothered with anhold knee injury in the early part of the sea-y son. He spent five weeks conditioning the knee, only to go down with the same injury in his comeback game. 'I was more upset the second time, he said, I had spent five weeks just get- ting it back in shape and I was pretty upset when it went out on the sixth play of the game. Many key positions on the team had been hurting, but in most instances, the players learned to live with the pain. Everybody is hurt a bit,', said center Scott Burdine. After a ten-game sea- son, you're going to be pretty battered up. On the offense, quarterback Greg Dalton played the season with sprained ligaments in his knee, while the two running backs, Walter Rowland and Brian Womac, had been hampered with shoulder problems. Out of our two backs, we have four injured shoulders, Womac said. Var- S S as . Il little hit of hurt a lot. There's always get injured, he said. ackles Clay McMordie Carlos DeAyala played with inju- ries, as McMordie suffered from rotary problems in his knee and DeAyala nursed a slight shoulder separation. It,s just a matter of it you want to play, you'l1 play even with pain, McMordie said. I don't think many people could stand the pain Walter goes through. He gets hit again and again, but he keeps going. We know Walter Rowland is in pain constantly, and Greg Dalton is in pain constantlyf' said Koenning. As long as there is no chance of permanent injury, then he fa playerj should play. It itls a cheap shot fthat causes the injuryj, then it makes me madf' said -cornerback Harry Purdom. If itis a good shot, then thatis O.K. Itis part of the game, he said. When a teammate gets hurt during a game, many players believe their con- centration is momentarily broken. You try to forget about it in the game and just go and find out about it later, said cornerback Kevin Ray. THE CULL Long, hard practices were generally dreaded by players, but most would rather practice than sit out with an injury. When you,re practicing, you donit want to practice, but when you're sitting out, you wish you were, McMordie said. Tearnmates and coaches usually tease players who missed practice because of an injury, said Womac. fCon1inued on page 2261 1 i , ,Naam Y 2 ' , 5 - J x I 5 5 X x 5 1 X , E w x M F, ff Ju., ,gm 53' M uf cj M, xg, 4 as war m? .'

I For players who missed practice because of an injury, Koenning had a rule about playing the week's game. During the regular season if you miss practice, Koenning says you don't start, said tailback Ed Kruger. It's reallya drag going to a game and not being able to play, said McCulloch. Not being able to partici- in a game, he added, did not pro- him mentally or emotionally, physically. From the sidelines, Kelley said it was frustrating sometimesito watch some- one else play his position. On a really good hit, I would wonder if I would have done it that way,', he said. At the start of his junior year, line- backer Brad Dawson had surgery for torn ligaments in his knee. Because of the operation, he was unable to play the entire season. SHAPING UP For six weeks, Dawson's leg was in a cast, and for the first time, he was able to suit up for the play-off games. It was too weak to play thoughf' he said. In order to regain a position on the team, Dawson spent the off season lift- ing leg weights at Nautilus and was on a running program of his own. . I had to prove that I could do it, to myself and everybody, ,he said. I wanted to kill myself because I couldnit do anything, he said. HI didn't even feel like I was part of the team. When McCulloch was injured, his close friend Dana Van Reenan becamd concerned. I started thinking about who would take his place, whether he'd be all right running and doing normal things - not just football, Van Reenan said. 'I'd take him to Nautilus and make him .work his leg out, he continued He may not have wanted to go, but I made himf' To get back into condition, Kelley said he lifted leg weights, ran, and sau in the whirlpool twice a day. But condi- tioning programs, according to Koen- ning, vary from injury to injury. The player is to report to the trainer anc work with him until he is well,', he said By having a well-conditioned tean you can eliminate those injuries. CAUSE AND REMEDY Most players credited the condition- ing they received in practice for they small amount of injuries. When you, get tired, that's when you get injured, l Burdine said. l They get injured because they're not doing what they're supposed t do, said defensive guard Chris Mal- ham. You get injured when you're notl going 100 percent, said Dawsonl Because of the conditioning, the playe ers went through, he said they did not get tired in games as quickly as their opponents did. Thus the fewer inj uries. I think that a sprained ankle or a bruise is . good for you mentally. Koenning said. NAS long as there are no physical after effects, I think they need to play with it fpainj' You can't think about your injury or you'll get hurt, said Burdine. Coach says, you just have to spit on it, rub it in, and get on out there. -30 - QW --'- 'hp xx f Agfa- 1' TACKLED A WESTBURY RECEIVER, Brad Dawson C503 is aided by trainer -and Coach Don Coleman.

After practicing, the band and drill team depart from the field. Lights flash on and off as silence pre- vails over the stadium. Chairs are being filled, but the stands are still relatively empty. Spectators are in clumps, sepa- rated by aisles of vacant chairs. THE MAIN EVENT Muffled claps are heard as the foot- ball teams come out of the locker room and run out onto the field to warm-up.

They take with them their Varsity patches, letter jackets, all-district hon- ors, and Region Finalist honorsg a few leave something behind. Not only shoulder pads or jock straps but as seven varsity football players go off to other endeavors they leave behind a lit- tle Dawson and a little Karisch or what in general could be called little broth- ers. . In theaudience the seven: Bennett Blocker, Brown Cathel, Doug Dawson, Kiki DeAyala, Darrel Karisch, Jeff Newberg and Sid Womack watch knowing that although the football team lost many lettermen after the sea- son the little brothersi' would still be 230 Junior Varsity Football there to take up slack. Doug Dawson, little brother of all- district linebacker Brad Dawson ana- lyzed the little brother situation. It has mainly good points, he said. The coaches know you, and probably expect more out of you. Not only getting to know the coaches but other advantages spring out of hav- ing older brothers on the Varsity. The younger brothers were able to meet all the Varsity players and learn of their ailments or other key week to week happenings. It's fun having a big brother on Varsityf' little Newberg said. I got to know everybody on the team, and I knew who was hurt andother stuff right when it happened. One brother combination was differ- ent from the others. The DeAyala brothers not only played football but were on the same team and played on the same line. Many advantages stemmed from thi as Kiki share them, It was neat in way. I enjoyed playing next to him an may never get that opportunity again. Little DeAyala also told of how 'his brother gave him a sense of accom- plishment. I had a kind of security playing next to him, DeAlay explained. He has always given mj advice and made me work harderf' Next to the DeAyalas played a tougl noseman by the name of Ed Womacl- who although when he left he took his all-district patches he left little brother Sid. Sid had nothing but pride as h watched Ed play on the Varsity. Sij said, It makes me feel good to watcl Ed do good and better than good. Big brothers brought out pride in al the little brothers but the smaller Kar- isch explained, Fm proud of every- body, not just my big brother? fCon1inued on page 23 3 , , , v 1 N, N' , 1 fr T5 1 X ,Q R . . :wax x A .yt 4 4 X , ., , 4 L .eq 3? . iflfw.-A ' 1' 1, .J .

Next year would be different for some including all the little brothers. For Cathel it would be a change of identity. Cathel explained, In the past I was known as Ed's little brother, now I will be known just as mei, Dawson agreed saying, I feel it will be more me,'and- not 'How is your brother,? . ' , Both Dawson and Cathel have made names of their own. Not on Varsity, but with their help' the Junior Varsity sky-rocketed to one of its best seasons ever. The 8-2 season was great in itself but more amazing than that was the fact that the team had improved from a freshman 1-9 record and a sophomore 3-6-l record. ' Junior Joe Schuelke said, There was ia ibig improvement since our freshman -year. V Schulke added, Practicing with the Varsity everyday helped too. It really got us ready. Ready they were as under the guid- ance of Coaches Will Taylor and Ron Redmon they led the district and while doing so shut out Alief-Hastings, Bra- zoswood, Clear Creek, Northbrook, and Stratford. V This defense could well have given the Junior Varsity an advantage over all opposition. Dawson said, Fd say our defensive front was our strongest point? The front was comprised of David Kuni, Trei Henri, Robbie Wear, Chuck Yeargin, Mark Schraeder and Jim Bing, Dawson continued. Bing disagreed in attributing the suc- cess to the defense. He claimed the offense as the strong point when he said, We had a good passing game AS TOM HORNSBY GETS TACKLED, Steve French, 4335, and Scott Calvin 1505, rush over to aid him.

Junior John Hofker said, HI think he QMattesonj was probably the leading rusher and scorer. E Tom Hornsby saw another quality in Matteson. He said, Ricky was definitely the leader of the team all the way through. With only two losses against Alief Elsik and Spring Woods, the Junior Varsity learned a lot but more than that they grew close. Hornsby explained one such situation. We were really close and helped each other, he said. Like the time when Mickey Surles got hurt. The game after that we dedicated to him. It was like that all year as the team grew together and .played together to win district with a fine 8-2 record. - 30 --Jerry Shrof ON A DROPBACK PASS Ricky Matteson looks for an open receiver.

Despite the drift of many sophomore football players to the Junior Varsity Team, the sophomores were able to overcome their losses and finish the season with a 5-4-l record. When a player was moved up to JV, often Sophomore coaches Jim Cliburn and David Denny had trouble filling holes in the starting line up, but as the season progressed, the team felt unified and put forth one of their bests efforts against MacArthur. i Every game we got a little better and leamed a little more, said line- backer John Elkins. The worst we got beat by was I3 points against Spring Branch. We thought we could beat them after MacArthur, so I guess we were a little big headed. Though they were not picked to beat MacArthur, the Sophomores surprised their opponents with a 16-14 win. We just played altogether a good game, i said quarterback David Leiper. I think that was one of our best games. Waughtal. CWon 5, Lost 4, Tied U geared towards a ground game, relying on fullback Rob Cagle and tailback Paul Morales. Leiper and the other quarterback, Todd Kissner started passing more in the later part of the season, with wingback Sid Womack, and ends Brent Schwartz and Steve Stazo as their passing targets. 'iWe were more of a ground gaining team, but towards the end of the season we were more of a passing team, said Leiper. At first we went to pass and we couldn't pick up any defensive stunts. Defensively, the sophomores were consistently strong, not allowing their opponents more than a 13 point spread. With Elkins and Miles Minns at line- backer, Hans Graf at noseman, and John Dailey and Jon Grow leading the secondary, the defense had a few mem- orable games. We had probably our best defensive game at MacArthur, Elkins said. Most every team was bigger than us. I don't know how we did it though. Coach Cliburn was looking at us as maybe a 3-6 team, and he was pretty surprised, said Leiper. We couldn't have done as well defensively without Coach Denny because he taught us everything we knew. - 30 - -- Susie Woodhams ASIINEBACKER JOHN ELKINS 1547 FOLLOWS, safety John Darley 1203 runs off the field.

C Freshman Football ' 237 The net se C x eflections of high, wire- encaged lights shimmered on the glowing, waxed gym- nasium floor. Hushed breathing, overwhelmed by heartbeats imagined to be louder than an off-beat chorus of slamming doors, escaped from the hung-over mouths and melted into the heated atmosphere of Varsity competition. Spectators stirred on the scuffed bleachers extracting an irritated squeal from the 14-year-old stands as the girl lightly tossed the volleyball into the air and torpedoed it over the net. The home team held their breaths, bumped the speeding ball straight up, almost touching the ceiling, and guided it toward the setter to be pounded over the net by lethal spiker Maron Neff. Excitement ran high in the Varsity Volleyball Team's interscholastic bat- tles. People would get tense out on the court, Anne Furbush said. Sometimes the tension was so great that the players suffered. Linda Ewing said, t'Mentally, you could see that some people were cracking under pres- sure. The players also felt some pressure when they had to call lines against their team, an act which could be hard to do, but fair is fair,', according to Kate 'x 238 Varsity Volleyball - Depth Design by Sharon Davies Brown. Linda said, 'sYou usually feel guilty about it when they all turn around and give you a dirty look. Technicalities and feelings unnoticed while playing on the court were often spotted from the sidelines. Linda said, When you're on the side, you can see the emotions people are experiencing. Our height was probably our big- gest weakpointf' Katey said. Because of their great height, compared to our lack of it, Northbrook was probably the toughest team the Varsity played this year. Their starters were made up of seniors and most of them were very tall, Linda said. Westchester was the most rivalrous game because we wanted to beat them so badly, Dinah Voelkel said. West- chester was always the big rival, and they were one of the toughest competi- tion-wise, agreed Coach Ann Wilson. Varsity should have won District because Westchester won District and we beat them, she continued. The team had the potential to win District and looked very promising by the time the season opened. There really wasn't anything to mess them up, Mandy Williams said. I thought they were really good, though, and they should have won the games because they tried really hardf, she continued. Lindsay Whitaker felt that they were a strong team, especially in their spiking. Their spiking was greatg they could set the ball up to where they could spike it, she said. Individually, each team member was very strong and was Varsity material.

Another QJ win for the Junior Varsity Volleyball Team and another time for celebration. There were no ordinary rah rah,s on the bus, for this was no ordinary team. Instead, choruses from Popeye or other television shows filled the bus. Carolyn Bing was one of the partici- pants in these escapades. She said, We would get on the bus after the Varsity, and all of us good people would move to the backf-' We would just sit back and act queerf' she continued. Coming back we would sing 'Popeye' or 1The Brady Bunch,. This after-the-game tradition was so important to the Volleyball Team that Betsy Smith considered it one of the top events of the season. She stated, Beating Westchester and our bus rides had to be the greatest things in our sea- son. To the participant, this could have been one of the top events of the season but to the fan, there were many other lv Volleyball events which made the team worth see- ing. Coach Ann Wilson said, 'This team cared more about winning as a team than they thought of winning as indi- viduals. They cheered each other on and did theirjob when they were in the game. This type of cheering was one of the reasons they won, or, as Coach Wilson put it, 75 percent of the reason they won. Winning was almost an understate- ment as the team coasted in with a Dis- trict Championship and a I3-1 regular season record. The one loss came at the hands of Westchester. Coach Wilson said, Westchester was our hardest competition. Betsy agreed, but added Northbrook, saying Westchester was definitely tough, but also Northbrook was very good. Others gave the team rough times throughout the season besides these two. They included Alief-Hastings and Spring Branch. Alief beat the Junior Varsity in a tournament, but Spring Branch played in two close games in the season. Caroline Ahrens, captain of the team, considered beating both Spring Branch and Westchester equally hard. Westchester and Spring Branch were both our toughest competition, she said. As manager of the team, Kathy Spear watches the game from a differ- ent perspective. Spring Branch was hard, because we knew a lot of people, she said. 'slt was a lot more personal than playing other teams, and there was a whole lot more rivalry. As captains, Ahrens and Junior Car- oline Mefferd, were saddled with many responsibilities which they took care of in a highly satisfactory manner. Coach Wilson said, g'Caroline Ahrens and Caroline Mefferd had to keep the spirit going. It was not that hard to be spirited with the support of other players including Beth McGinnis and Jene Clemmenson whom Betsy said were both, very goodf' . Rounding out the team were Lisa Meyer, Barbara Officer, and Miss Ann Wilson who all added into the team experiencef' Betsy called it Nteamworkj' Kathy called it spirit,,' and Caroline called it togetherness, but whatever magic was used, it certainly made for a suc- cessful season. Perhaps though. it was all these fac- tors combined with a little bus ride where one could see Miss Wilson.

I think we had a pretty good team and we worked together. said Joan Isen- see. Working together was the team's most outstanding feature. Coach Carol Hemphill said. As a group they were great. There are some good athletes out there. She added. They trusted each other and everyone was good enough to be able to respect them. Individually. each team member was strong and able to pull her own weight. Their main weakness was their serves. Just about our only weakness was getting our serves over. Amy Bean said. Mandy Williams said. Our serves were not as good as they should or could have been but the good thing about our team was that we had lots of spirit. The freshmen's spirit even reached the Varsity Team. The Freshmen had so much spirit that they cheered us up when we were losing. You just can't imagine how much spirit they had. Maron Neff said. The team was much stronger than last year's team and had definite poten- tial. You can't tell with most Fresh- men. but they will probably be very good when they've had a little experi- ence, said Coach Hemphill. Experience or not. they finished the 1977-1978 volleyball season with a good District standing and promise a strong 1978-1979 Junior Varsity.

The first girlis soccer team. organ- ized with Dr. Bone by Junior Charlotte Prendergast, showed surprising poten- tial and talent for their first year to be together according to Bone. They played in the newly organized Spring Branch Girl's Soccer Association, which. according to Bone, had poor organization and weak competition. During the 1978-1979 season the girls will play in the Houston Soccer League which has stiffer competition. Bone said, The quality of play is much better and the organization is much better. The A-I and A-2 girls merged together to form the top district team. Oak's Dad's Club was their toughest competition but the girls defeated them in district play, 1 think the girls did a fantastic job in getting it organized and were a promising team that should be even better next year with lraj as their coach again. said Bone. The 1978-1979 girls soccer team should continue their suc- cessfulness as they will have lost very few seniors. -30 - TOP: LEANING INTO A DOWNFIELD PASS KICK, Senior Roger Oppenheim evades the opponent and completes the pass.

Be true to our school hange in pirit By Loretta Farb n keeping with what the Beach Boys preached in their songs. Be true to your school. 4l junior girls and 8 junior boys jumped. flipped, and yelled to show the rest of the school that they were spirited enough to be elected cheerleader for I978-79. The candidates displayed the results of their two week training at a tryout in front of the stu- dent body Febmary l7. After voting in a special P.A.D., Sheri Austin, Guy Courtney, Barbara Gagnon. Steve Orr, Carrie Ramsey, Bob and Gene Shiels, Cynthia Southern, Penny Sterling, and Robert Wall were announced as cheerlead- ers for the forthcoming year, with Terry Atmar and Laurie Gyamarthy as alternates. Those trying out had various reasons for wanting to be a cheerleader. For most it was just something they had always wanted to do. The main reason Patty Alfedl wanted to become a cheerleader was because she was one on her old school's eighth and ninth grade junior varsity squads. We moved from Illinois my sophomore year and I wanted to try out, it was so much fun. said Patty. Kevin Topek wished to be a cheerleader so he could go crazy in front of a bunch of people. Cheerleading ran in Terry Atmar's family, so he decided to also give it a try. f'Both of my sis- ters were cheerleaders and they had so much fun, said Atmar. It just looked like a blast and I decided to go for it. . lt's something I really wanted to do ever since high school, said Bob Shiels. I wasn't really doing anything else like football. After signing up to try out and getting their parent's permission, candidates prepared for the Febmary I7 tryout by having clinics three nights a week for two weeks. 250 ' Special Repcrt, Cheerleading tryouts i i You really got to meet a lot of people tat the cIinicsJ, said Cindy F reel. They worked us hard, but everyone there was going through the same thing. , According to Vicki DiMaria, the clinics were Ngreat, absolutely great. Everyone goes in with the attitude that you're not going to make it, but later on it doesn't really matter if you are or not, said Vicki. You're sore together. The clinics were a lot of fun for Gene Shiels. It was a blast everyone there doing the same thing you are - you're not embarrassed then. Candidates had to pass a screening before going onto the final tryout. Five judges, under the supervision of Cheerleader Sponsor Miss Judy Hobbs. witnessed that the prospective cheerleaders had learned during the two weeks of clinics and wrote their opinions of each one. For Penny Sterling, the night before the actual screening was the worst because they were put in fmnt of all the otherncandidates. Everyone was interested in seeing how everyone else was doing. The screening wasn't as bad -there were peoplejudging from somewhere else that weren't cheer- leaders. related Penny. These people didn't really know. Electing cheerleaders is usually thought to be a popularity contest, but the most popular person needed ability to make it through the clinics and screening. , The underclassmen are looking for someone who knows what they're doing, said Jo Wagner. For the older people, it's popularity. I hope they look for people who are good? said Cynthia Southern. Some of the newly-elected cheerleaders have an idea of what they would like to see done in the coming year. One thing to do is to go to more volleyball games, said Sheri Austin. I know how it feels not to have anyone there so I'll encourage it. Barbara Gagnon wants to make sure to get people out to the games and pep rallies and get our team all ready for the game. After all the hard work and preparation. I0 cheerleaders were elected, but those who didn't make it still gained by meeting more people and going through a totally new. sometimes painful and frustrating experience with each other. It was going to be an experience one way or another, said Penny. Whether you win or lose you're going to come out ahead anyway. Senior year I want to show my appreciation and how I really feel spirit-wise - say 'Hey. we're really number one. look at us.' said Steve Orr. Cheerleading is the best way to say that. - 30 - - CONCENTRATING ON THE TECHNIQUES OF THE WRAP, Junior Gene Sheils practices with cheerleader Terry Wood.

Johnson, who was second in rebounding during the dis- trict portion of the season, said, We had some pretty good rebounders. That was one of our strongest points. Although Coleman led in scoring during district with 139 points he was followed closely by Merril with l28 points and Johnson with 124 points. Our general teamwork can be attrib- uted to that. Junior Matt Strickland said. All the scoring was balanced out. Overall though, Mefferd said. Matt Strickland was our floor leader. He really knew what was going on on the court. His leadership was shown through his leading the team in assists. During the season Strickland contributed 202 out of the team's 495 assists. Strickland may have been the leader. but the team was unique in that each member shared in the making of its success. Our strongest point was our all around team ability, Johnson said. We had good shooters and a pretty well-balanced offense. Merril said. We had some even scoring between the players. Other players which added to the scoring were Junior Mike Felice and Sophomroe Charlie Biegel. To put all these players together into one cohesive unit they needed a good coach. In Coach Don Coleman they knew they had one. He was a really dedi- cated man, Mefferd said. He was really interested in High School basket- ball and he was interested in develop- ing boys when they are young. Youth played an important role for Coleman with all but four players being non-seniors. Strickland thought this youth might have been detrimental during the season but would help in the future. lt definitely will help in the future. Strickland said. We had a couple of sophomores who got Varsity experi- ence and will have a lot more depth next year because of it. Coleman's coaching not only helped during the District competition but also in the many tournaments the team entered. We got into the semi-finals in all three tournaments we entered, stated Mefferd. We only lost each of the games by two points. Teamwork played the most impor- tant role during these games. Merril said. We played well as a team and had good teamwork. As far as the team was concerned only a few areas hurt them during the season. Our shooting from the freeth- row line was extremely weak, stated Strickland.

The last shot taken - no more yell- ing. no more hard work. Looking back one sees a team that was successful through teamwork and good coaching. Adding Up The Scores Roundbollers put it together in '78 lher ciction. . . n the court the broad muscular specimen drove for lay-up. Awe ed the air as muscles tensed in the id motion. The athlete's physique was thrill to w on the playing field, court or na. but it could present real prob- s to the athlete as he moved in the rld outside his sport. Many athletes faced with the prob- of extra broad shoulders, extra ge chest, extra thick necks, compen- ed by buying extra big clothes that lose but not good. Athlete Junior Matt Strickland had lved his problem in another way. He as an ambitious basketball player th a jock body who makes his own irts. I have fairly broad shoulders so I often have trouble fitting the body and sleeve length. he explained. He usually bought the pattern and redoes it the way it would fit to his size. The design was fairly the same every time except the color. he said. In the material shops he mostly feels out of place. I'm usually the only guy there, Strickland said. I feel kind of foolish among all those ladies. But this way he could pick out what- ever he wanted. Strickland said. By making my own shirts I could get any color and material I feel comfortable in. About two years ago Strickland first became interested in this work when he saw a black football player on televi- sion who made his own pants. He made them just the way he wanted to. He put stars on the sides and took any kind of material - and he even made extra money that way. PLEASED WITH A VICTORY Varsity player Matt Strictland eyes the scoreboard, Photo by Cam Heullel. , Strickland remembered. He doesn't want to make any profit nor does he feel any special kind of pride in having made his own shirts. I just do it for the variety of a new shirt and it usually will fit me better. He already has made six shirts and he accepts a little help from his mother - only on sewing. Strickland said. I'll learn to do this too, because it could come in handy for college. - 30 - Vera Russwurm CoIemcln's Crew ' 257 ON A MAN ON MAN PRESS, Junior Craig Carl- ton defenses his Elsik opponent.

But where were the fans? Underrated and many times unseen the Junior Varsity continued to carry their own load. '5We won more games than the Freshman or the Varsity, Junior Craig Carlton said. Sophomore Craig Reid said. We did better than anyone thought we would do. When we were freshmen we didn,t do so good. Coach Barre really put together a good team. Many players found it easy to praise Coach Guy Barre on molding the team. Coach Barre is the best J.V. Coach, Carlton said. He always seemed to get the most out of the playersf' Barre had a hard job but many strong points to work with. 'SQuick- nessf' Junior Scott Bolding said was the team's strongest point. We could get down the court faster than the other teamsf' he added, and score some quick buckets. Carlton also thought intimidation was a major factor. Chuck Keeble averaged three rejections a game, Carlton said. 'llt intimidated other Borre's Crew 'H . Two plcm for '79 teams and got our adrenalin flowing. These strong points on many teams would be equalized by weak points, but Reid said, We didn't have any weak points? Leadership came to the team from many directions. Bolding said, g'Carl- ton was real vocal and got everyone going. Carlton joined Bolding as the two top scorers on the team. Besides rejections Keeble helped Mark Gettys as leading rebounders. HDavid Graves and Willy Nichols helped when they came off the bench and gave a spark, added Carlton. This network of players came in a close second in district to Westchester but did accomplish one goal. We were the only team in the district to beat Westchesterf, Carlton said. Besides district the team participated in many tournaments with many hon- ors. Craig Carlton was all-tournament at Cy-Fair and Mark Gettys was all- tournament at Aldine. The J.V. team is the place for hard work and minimum recognition, yet as Craig Reid said, I think we all had fun and a good time playing together. The hard work and fun combined to produce a J.V. team Memorial could be proud of. - 30 - -Jerrjv Shrqff . -A , Ysmsf y ,.,- s - K f.,-,,,.---M - AT THE GAME AGAINST ROBERT E.

Lac of Q Shave to state n the Monday after Spring break, students with red, sun burnt faces and peeling bodies filtered through the mass confusion in the halls. but even they did not stand out while there were more unfamiliar looks around. Friends stopped talking and started staring when boys with clean shaven heads, wearing sunglasses and Mustang Var- sityjackets glided by. At closer observation, students eyed the distinct swimming patches on the red jackets. indicating that the wearers could only be aqua jocks - not any aqua jocks. but the 1978 State Cham- pion swimmers. On March I7 and 18. Mustang Boys' Team swimmers took a trip to Austin and came back as State Champs by compiling 43 team points. I thought we were going to do better, but because of the medley fwe got disqualifiedj we lost I4 points. said Sophomore swim- mer Dean Putterman. But since Clear Lake's medley got disqualified. it really didn't hurt us. Boys Swim Captain Senior Mike Tonery placed first in the IOO yard back stroke and second in the 200 yard individual medley. Senior Rinse Brink won second place in the 500 yard free style and picked up a third in the 200 yard individual medley. Sophomore Dean Putterman took a first in the 100 yard breast stroke. while a team of Junior Trey Herdon, Sopho- more Sjoerd Brink, Rinse Brink. and Tonery capped the scoring with a sec- ond in the 400 yard free style relay. To get to the State Finals. the boys rallied at the Region V meet while the girls did not place. Long and hard prac- tices were needed. however. to take them to such success. We had one of the best teams this year because we had a chance to win state and we were together as a team. which we hadn't before. said Tonery. The team had a better attitude this year.

It was the first time the 880 had been laying the field By Susie Woodhams ven though Houston offered more cold and misty days than pleasant ones in mid February, boys interested in making the Varsity and Junior Var- sity Baseball Teams had to catch spring fever when the tryouts started. When the 15 players were named to the Varsity unit, the afternoon prac- tices lingered until 6:30 p.m., and the workouts seemed to pay off when the Varsity took home two trophies from early season tournaments. We were the first team in Memorial Baseball his- tory to win two trophies in one year. said two year letterman Bobby Martin. We got a second in the Conroe Tour- nament. and second in La Port. Finishing 14-12 for the season and 7- 7 in District, the Mustangs finished fourth in the I7-4A competition. With a starting line up consisting of catcher Ken Kelley, first baseman Brad Daw- son, Second baseman Doug Price. shortstop Rusty Hinds, third baseman Mike Weir, left fielder Martin, Ken Durkee in center field, Ed Womack in right, and Kiki DeAyala as designated hitter. We couldn't mold this team from last year,s, said Martin. From the beginning our key objective was defense, where last year it was offense. Ironically. defensive errors plagued the team, who had a good showing at the plate with a .286 team batting aver- age. Whenever we had a game with no errors, we'd kill the other team, said Weir. All you can do is take ground balls every day and work on it. Despite the lack of consistent field- ing, Price was able to lead the infield with a single error on the year. We had pretty consistent pitching from Walter and Brad. said Martin. Good work on the mound combined with a team hitting attack helped the Varsity beat Westchester twice in the late innings. After Northbrook put down the Mustangs, the Big Red Machine came right back with a 7-l victory over the Raiders. Though they were 3-4 after the first round of District. the Mustangs still had a shot at coming in first in the sec- Conlinued on page 280 AT ONE OF THE NON-DISTRICT GAMES, PLAYED ON THE J.V.

A loss to Stratford ended their hopes of finishing top in District. Dawson, who was an All-Star first baseman as well as pitcher, led the team in batting with a .413 average, while Womack cracked six homeruns to lead the team. We had, I think, the best hitting team I've played on in my four yearsf' said Weir, who hit .324 for the year. Weir credited Coach Redman for some of the success at the plate. The plate was home for some players in more ways than one. Dawson's bat- ting average was tops on the team, fol- lowed by Price at .325 and then Weir. Leading the Varsity in almost every batting category, Dawson said he hit with more power in his senior year. 'lAnybody can hit the ball. but to be a real good hitter. the main thing is to be smart and to hit your pitch and not just swing at your balls, he said. Often throughout the season Dawson read Ted Williams on hitting. as well as practiced on his own at batting cages. Apparently. the extra time helped. Dawson led the team in hits with 34. followed by Price with 26 and Weir with 24. The first baseman had 10 dou- bles while Price and Weir had 6 each. Dawson batted in the most runs with 34, followed by Womac with Zl, and his 24 runs scored was just ahead of DeAyala with I9 and Hinds and Weir with I6 each. Though the team often sparkled at the plate. Kelley believed that to win. a team needed a strong pitching unit. The biggest asset to any high school baseball team would be to have three strong top line pitchers. he said. I would say we had one true pitcher and that was Walter Rowland. One thing you've got to say about this year is that we sure had a lot of fun, said Martin.-30- X WHILE THEIR TEAMMATES ARE OUT IN THE FIELD, pitchers Alan Clogston and Duncan Lee and shortstop Ricky de Guerin discusses the Northbrook batters.

When the right fielder lurches for the ball, he comes into direct contact with the cen- ter fielder. They throw the ball to the shortstop and collapse on the field. Fielding was a major weakness of the Junior Varsity Baseball Team. Pitcher Ben Bell said. 'slf we could have fielded. we could have done a lot bet- ter. Another deterrent was the team's lack of unity. This was especially evi- dent in their batting. We couldn't get the hits when we needed themf' center fielder John Dailey said. We could never get the run we needed. Since the team was fairly young and inexperienced there were several men- tal mistakes. We didn't have the right attitude for baseball. There were many freshmen ftotal of eightj on the team, said catcher Doug Dawson. They didn't seem like they wanted to win that bad? The team's batting record, however, compensated for the JV,s weaknesses. Catcher Jim Bing completed the season with a .438 batting average, Dawson had a .435, and left fielder Ben Hein- rich had a .429. The team's total aver- age was .307. Pitching was also a strong point for the team. According to Coach Rob Madding, Mark Krog was the best pitcherf, Krogfs earned running aver- age QERAJ was 1.82 and his record was 2-O. Pitcher David Baldwin had an ERA of 2.87 with a record of 1-3. The Mustang's total ERA was 4.37 with a record of 4-IO. The fielding average was led by right fielder Krog with a .934, Dailey aver- aged second with a .880, and shortstop Charlie Grooms had an average of .865. As a team, they averaged a .813 in fielding. As the season progressed, the Mus- tang's worked more as a team. They improved on their fielding and reacted to the plays and their teammates faster. Dawson said, f'We sort of jelled together as a group. The Junior Varsity Team consisted of pitcher Baldwin, pitcher Bell, catcher Bing, first baseman David Blankenship, third baseman James Cook, center fielder Matthew Hart, left fielder Heinrich. shortstop Grooms, pitcher Otohiko Kondo, pitcher Krog, third baseman Steve McGaugh, pitcher Paul Puntch, second baseman Jon Shoemaker, shortstop Randy Smith, pitcher Doug Walla, second baseman John Winsauer, and left fielder Sid Womack. The season was highlighted by the J.V. win over Westchester. Dailey said, They thought they had an easy one the second time they played us. Most players agree that the season could have been better. Several times the team lost by one or two points. We should have won more than we did, said Dawson. We could have been 10- IN A GAME AGAINST ALIEF, Junior Varsity catcher Doug Dawson discards his mask en route to catching a foul ball.

Though Coach Madding helped direct the Varsity with Coach Ron Redmon, he was given full responsibil- ity of the JV team. I think he did a pretty good job with what he had to work with, said Dawson. Several JV players were able to play in some Varsity games. Dawson and Dailey, who were given this opportu- nity, said it was a tremendous honor playing Varsity baseball. Dawson added, Just to watch and learn about the hitting and fielding was a good experience. - 30 - - Carol E.

I want the Chiliis trip, fries, and a Cokef' was the request of numerous custom- ers. The place, Chili's is located on Richmond Avenue, across the street from The Park, down the street from Luther's, and next door to Lizzard's. Chili's offers a selection of chili, chili burgers, soft tacos, hot dogs, home- made french fries, and frosty mugs of Coke. '6My favorite thing is Chili's Trip, a basket of french fries, and one of their bottomless mugs of Coke, said Junior Stacey Van Hoy. It'sjust a cute atmosphere. It's kind of different. They have great frozen margaritas that come in a big frosty mug, said Senior Susan Ellis. The owner, Larry Lavan, opened the restaurant in February, 1977, and is opening another in Carillion West shopping center. The idea has just caught on, said waitress Carol Jack- A BASKET OF FRENCH FRIES IS SHARED by Jay Rockaway and Allison Gibbson at ChiIi's off Richmond.

There's one in Dallas, and he's fLavanj opening one in Georgia. I go for the cheap food and good atmosphere. It's not that the food is cheap, it's just an added little extra, said Junior Paul Fromberg. I went there about two days after they first opened. This real good looking guy waited on us and asked us if we've ever been to the one in Dallas: and he told us to bring our friends. Everyone was real nice. There's a real friendly atmospheeref' said Junior Ashley Laney. No matter what day of the week it was, there always seemed to be a full house. The only thing I don't like about it is the long lines to get in. Sometimes there isn't a line but there is uaually a ten minute wait, said From- berg. The secretary in the Junior Office. Mrs. Barbara Taylor, said, The service was excellent. We went there on a Thursday night and we didn't have to wait long at all. The atmosphere came in second to the chili burgers as one of Chili's big- gest attractions. The atmosphere is fantastic. It's so cute. They have grea' music. It's just like the stuff you heal on the radio. They have these huge speakers on the walls, Stacey said. Fromberg said, It's typical Texan interior. There are skulls on the walls and poster from Terlingua and the chili cook-off. Most of the customers go there due to the recommendations of their friends. A lot of people had been talk- ing about how good it was, and there are two in Dallas, Stacey said. A friend from church took me, and Ijusl liked it. Fromberg said. Chili's was popular not because it's a place where all the kids went, but because of the good food and chic atmosphere. The chili burgers are really big and thick, and I love their homemade french fries, Susan said. It's just a good place to go and talk, Stacey said. -30- - Trrlqv Hazard l l i x TI-IE BEST U3 L I N D RY , CD CLEANING Wkimg 5 wzs 'za CD ifZggfQZj, Leif Us Fade X2 Your Blue Jeans 468 -43 3 3 7475 Qampgsfffoazf L I clfouafon, Usxaa. 465-2525 U3 9 It s never too late to order your class rlng.

Most popular were the Hoston Indoor Tennis Club, Met- ropolitan Racquet Club, the University Club, and ChancelI0r's Racquet Club. The number of courts in the indoor clubs ranged anywhere from 8 to I4 courts. Surfaces vary also: some were rubberized, others laykold. Houston Indoor Tennis Club is located nearby on Bunker Hill Road and has eight courts. Freshman Brian Childs said, I like Houston Indoor because it is so convenient for me. One of the larger clubs was the Met- ropolitan Racquet Club located down- town at One Allen Center. The Met has I4 courts. Sophomore Johnny Park said, The Met was really a 'rainy day' tennis players club because all of it's courts were indoors. The Galleria holds another popular tennis club: The University Club, with I0 courts. Sophomore Caron Neuen- schwander said, I liked The Univer- sity Club, a Iotg I even looked forward to rainy days so I had an excuse to make my mom take me all the way out there to play. I like The University Club because it is usually not that crowded so you didn't have to wait long to get a court. said Sophomore Elizabeth Moore. Chancellor's Racquet Club. on Dumfries also had ten indoor courts for their members. So homore Lamar Morris said. The inciioor facilities at Chancellor's was great! He added. I liked to play there a lot. Sophomore Carol Rosenfeld said, I guess I was one of thsoe less eager ten- nis players because when it was cold and rainy Ijust didn't make an effort to get out and play! Indoor playing had one definite advantage: it never was too hot or too cold. - 30 - 3- Carrie Campbell ON A SUNDAY, TENNIS PROVIDES ENJOYABLE EXERCISE for Carrie Cambell.

His mind is ponder- ing a subject much more important than English: Where should he go for lunch? Mouthwatering pictures of ribs smothered in barbeque sauce. fat and juicy hamburgers, salted french fries and ketchup. and giant glasses of iced tea float through Arnold's mind. But he is abruptly awakened from his dreams by his English teacher's voice. Arnold's dream is for real - there is a place where one can eat food that makes one's mouth water. The place is a restaurant called Luther's. Lutheris is an unimpressive-looking building on the corner of Gessner and Westheimer. It looks a bit like a barn with a porch and porch swing. The inside is much the same. Tables cover the entire floor and food is gotten cafeteria-style. There are bins near the cash register filled with pickles. Jala- peno peppers. onions and other relishes to add to a hamburger or ribs. Despite the casual atmosphere. Luther's serves great food. lts specialty is barbeque, but the hamburgers are equally as good as are the beans, potato salad. and king-size drinks. There are two Luther's in Houston: Luther's Number One on Fountain- view and Luther's Number Two on Westheimer. Luther's is an expansion of The Great Mine Company. No one knows exactly how Luther's got its name. One story is that there was a one- armed man named Luther on the own- er's ranch and that's where he got the name. said Luther's Number Two manager Steve Mott. The restaurant attracts literally every walk of life. said Mott, but mainly upper-middle class people. Its busiest hours were from 11:15 a.m. to one p.m. and lot of the lunch customers were students. Lutheris collaborates yearly with the March of Dimes to hold a hamburger eating contest. It is held every summer. outdoors. at Luther's Number One and among some of the people who have attended are Farrah Fawcett's sister, Dan Pastorini, and Marvin Zindler. 'IWe've been written up in Business Week and People, stated Mott about the contest's publicity. Business at Luther's was better than that of some of the city's largest steak restaurants. We do more in half a day than what others do in a full day, said Mott. Spreading nationwide is planned in the restaurant's future and present plans are to establish three more Luther's in Houston and two out of state in Oklahoma City and Denver. We are planning to expand as fast as we can obtain employees. Mott stated. Luther's had good food. but every time I shoved a chopped steak-burger in my mouth, some good-looking guy walked past. said Junior Melinda Miller. So whether for food or just for fun. Luther's was a good place to eat. As mouthwatering as Arnold's daydream. ..30- - Debbie Lalrrdowne SPRING BRANCH CARPET LAYERS C CLEANERS Serving The Spring Branch-Memorial Area Since 1946 WALL T0 WALL CLEANING IN YDIIR NOME COMPLETE COMMERCIAL CONTRACT SERVICE CARPET SALES AND SERVICE DRY FOAM CLEANING 0 PICK UP 8- DELIVERY 0 0 CLEANING 0 0 DYEING 8.

This is how Heinz Velmeden makes a living. by baking. Born and raised in Germany. Mr. Velme- den moved to Houston in 1961. Eight years later. he purchased a bakery as an invest- ment. and beganliving the life of a small businessman. Mr. Velmeden had been interested in baking since he was a kid. I became inter- ested in baking when I was about seven. Since then. I have always had the desire to become a baker. he said. Mr. Velmeden has achieved his goal and today owns and bakes for The Baker's Pan- try on Katy Freeway. In order to open the store at 7 a.m.. Heinz woke up at 4:30 to bake off the merchan- dise promised. He said that baking the merchandise the day it was promised guarantees freshness. Freshness seemed to be important to the Baker's Pantry. Written under the Baker's Pantry sign in front of the store is. Others talk fresh. We bake fresh. Mr. Velmeden estimated that he usually bakes 20 to 50 cakes a day. Most of them are birthday cakes. and a few of them are wedding cakes. Mr. Velmeden said that the most costly cake he ever sold was a 5450. The most expensive wedding cake I have sold was priced at S450 and was made for l000 peo- ple. he said while Guy Lombardo's Just Like Old Times flowed out of the radio. He started to continue when the cowbells jingled at the door. He grabbed a dirty hand towel and wiped his hands with it. He then rushed in to his customer and in a kind tone asked her what she needed. Sorry you had to wait, Mr. Velmeden said after re-entering the kitchen. My cus- tomers were coming. that's how I make a living. he added as he glanced quickly at an old alarm clock in the corner of the room. Mr. Velmeden rarely got lonely because of his customers. As long as I waited on the customers. I do not get lonely because I have a lot of contact with people. he said while operating a large. noisy bread-cutting machine. We have certain recipes and standards. This is a commercial place, not a household where momma bakes a single pie. He then said that the small business is more flexible than the big business. Mr. Velmeden is an example of how small busi- ness is still alive. America gives Europe the impression that only big business is successful and that small business is dead, Mr. Velmeden said in his strong German accent. To the con- trary. he added. the small business is very alive. We react to the special need of the cus- tomers. We are very flexible. Mr. Velmeden said that he could bake a special cake for someone in short notice. He said if you go to a big outfit. there is no way it can give youlthe product you want. Mr. Velmeden stressed having a quality product and good service for his customers. The one thing you did have to realize as a small proprietor was that in order to make a living you had to give the customer the serv- ice and the product. he said. You only can succeed if you had repeat customers who come back all the time. You will achieve this if you give the quality. product. and service that the customer desires. -30 - Wjini Greer SATISFYING AROMAS escaped from the Bak- ers Par1try off Katy Freeway.

That was the only place we wanted to go. so that is where we stayed. Seniors got off to going to Uncle Sams too.

The creation of personally designed t-shirts is made possible by the use of a heat transfer machine and steady hands. Owner Don Thurman got started in this business by working in a little shack on the weekends at the beach one summer. I made a lot of money and I really enjoyed doing this so much that I decided to open up a shop. Mr. Thurman explained. The store has been opened in the Echo Lane Shopping Center since December, I976. The best time of the year for us is Christmas: then there is back-to-school and softball seasonf, he said. To print orders for group shirts usually took from two to three days. The most popular decal varied from Farrah Fawcett Majors to Star Wars. But the everyday decals were Kids for Rent and No Where Else But Texas. Keeping these decals in stock was really hard to do. but you have got to have them to keep your customer satisfied, said Thurman. The biggest project the store under- took was when the Mission Manufac- turing Company asked them to make up around 200 t-shirts for their employ- ees for Christmas. I thought I was going to go crazy seeing so many shirts exactly the same, he said. T-shirts are so popular that I've had people from Brazil, Alaska, Canada. and all over Europe come in and have t-shirts printed up for them to take back to their countryf' he said. People from other parts of the world do not have t-shirt places like this, he said. The guys that worked there were really fine guys and they didn't mess you around. They gave special discount rates, and they were ready to be picked on the day they statedf, explained pres- ident of Wranglers, Fred Stow. The store could also print up bumper stickers if they were requested to make at least a hundred of them. They really come out just the way that you designed them to look. said Senior Janice Webb. With the help of his assistants Mr. Thurman keeps both of his stores very busy Monday through Saturday. This is really a fun type ofjob to be involved in and it's a worth while job, because it's all in the use of your own doings and not anybody else, said Thurman. 30 - Ginny Henry PFKOUDLY DISPLAYING HIS SUPPLY OF ATH- LETIC GEAR, Printaa-Shirt proprietor Don Thur- man reviews the variety of models and sizes his store offered.

Open since May. Pipe Organ Pizza was a favorite restaurant of all ages. 6 through 60 years of age. It's strictly a family affair, said Manager Larry Flashner. Considered to be a good location. open seven days a week. Pipe Organ Pizza got the most hungry shoppers at Memorial City Mall. People like the atmosphere mostly and they keep com- ing back to it. said Flashner. With the variety of thick and chewy pizza. there was still a favorite. They seem to like the Pipe Organ special the best. the one with everything but the organ. said Flashner. With Mickey and Minnie Mouse at 6 every night and Donald Duck on Sat- urday. the restaurant attracted many young children. The characters are played by employees. who are usually high school kids. who have a ball doing it. saif Flashner. But since the restaurant is based on a younger theme. some disagreed with its aspects. I feel it's too kiddy-like. but it is a fun place. said Junior Joe Wakil. Other high school students go there for other reasons. Panjo's is too crowded. and the band goes to Pipe Organ because no one else goes there. said Sophomore Tracy Schulz. 'I like to watch the organist, and play the pinball machines in the play- roomf' said Sophomore Paul Tucker. who liked the atmosphere better than the pizza. So did Junior Mary Denny who went there for the crowd. Next to the game room is somewhat of a giftshop. which has everything from Pipe Organ Pizza T-shirts to Min- nie Mouse watches. 'lThe pizza is the best. though. said employee Doris Boswell. Obviously Pipe Organ Pizza is a fun place to work. but you can meet lots of people there too. It's a great place to relieve the pressures of the day with the carnival-like atmosphere. said employee Lynda Bradley. Awarded the cleanest restaurant in Houston. the restaurant serves good quality pizza said employee Rosa Faule. It's a very nice place and is owned by good people that give a good salaryf' she said. With the largest organ in five states. restored by Sandling Pipe Organ Com- pany, Pipe Organ Pizza claims that their organ can mimic every sound known to man. lt's not too difficult finding organists. partially because we have a great music director named Jerry Bacon. said Manager Larry Flashner. With the organ and piano. ice cream. balloons. cartoons. a game room. and their exceptional pizza. what more could any one ask? -30 - Y Claire Poole 306 ' Commun Spring Branch-lviernorial Soorts Association Softball League - Pixie and Pon tails pick up their bats IN BUNTING STANCE, Melanie Price watches for the coming pitch. Many students enjoyed both serious league softball games and Sunday afternoon get-togethers. Photo by Trent Rosen- thal. With the coming of spring. many eager female athletes for hopefulsj could be found trying to get back into shape. on area schoolyards. practice fields. and backyards. Not only did spring bring April showers and May flowers, it also began softball season. Each year. hundreds of girls register to play in the Spring Branch-Memorial Sports Association Softball League. The League registers girls between 8 and 18 to play in 5 different divisions. nThey had so many girls this year inter- ested in playing. that they had to create a new division. said Junior Linda Ewing. It's called the Pixie division. which is for girls 8 and 9 years old. The other divisions are the Ponytail. Minor, Sophomore. and Major. Once you are placed in a division. then you can try out for the American League. which is for the better girls. or for the people who have played a lot. said Sophomore Melanie Price. lf you don't make the American League. then you're automatically put in the National League. Many of the girls who began playing softball in elementary school. are still playing. Linda Ewing said, 'Tye been playing softball since third grade and I love it. it's a great sport: and every year I come back to play more. Junior Carol Riewe said that she has been playing since elementary school also. I've been playing with some of the same girls every year since I startedg it's really neat. Aside from the girls who had been playing for a number of years. were the girls with little or no experience in soft- ball at all. Junior Caroline Mefferd said that she registered to play, because some of my friends were, and it sounded like fun. I had never played on a team before. so I was no All-Star. but it was great just messing around. hav- ing a good time. Caroline said that most of the fun came from the very relaxed attitude of the players and coach. Sure, we cared and tried our best. but we weren't hung up on winning like a lot of the teams were. We did all we couldjust to make it as fun as it could possibly beg In fact. at a couple of games. we even had a radio in the dug out. that added to the atmosphere. said Caroline. Although softball may have appeared to be for only fun and enjoy- ment. a lot of practicing was involved also. Junior Emily Anderson said. Last year we practiced twice a week. maybe even three times depending on the team we were playing. Our practic- ing so much didn't seem to show on our season standings, but it was fun. and good exercise too! The season began in mid April, and usually lasted until the beginning of June. Sometimes the season lasted until August first, depending on if your team goes to the Nationals or not, said Sophomore Jill Jackson. But the chances of your team going to Nation- als, much less even the play-offs. is next to impossible. - 30 - - Penny Sterling I I x Z I If HUNDREDS OF PIPES, A BUBBLE MACHINE AND A MANY KEYED ORGAN entertains the Pipe Organ Pizza's birthday parties and cus- tomers.

Ever since 'fThe Great Train Rob- eryf' movies have been a source of entertainment. In recent years, the ovie industry has remained prosper- us because of films such as The Exorcist. Jaws and Rocky. Defying claims of nthings aren't as wood as they used to be. the movie 'ndustry came out with several out- tanding films. In the 20's there was Rhett and Scar- lett and the famous quote Frankly, I on't give a damn. But in I977. there as Luke Skywalker. Princess Laeia, nd May the Force Be With You. he return of science-fiction was Encounters of the Third Kind? Based on fact. Close Encounters dealt with actual contact between humans and U.F.O.'s. Through musical notes. sci- entists were able to communicate with and understand the aliens from other planets, If science-fiction didn't seem inter- esting, there were several love stories available. Saturday Night Fever. starring Sweathog John Travolta. was the basic love story where the guy gets the girl. the guy loses the girl. and the guy gets her back. But. to add some variance from the basic love story plot. there were many disco scenes with singing and dancing. Although a love story also. Annie Hall was completely different from ing everywhere. a sad and touching love story filters through. Whereas Saturday Night Fever began the acting career of John Tra- volta. Oh, God!, began John Den- ver's. Co-starring with George Burns. Denver portrayed a grocery store man- ager claiming to have talked with and seen God IGeorge Burnsj. Denver's mission was to give everyone God's message. but he met a few unbelievers along the way.

A lot to live up to- Achieving our goals Memorial meant pride to us so we sweated over defeats and victories to keep this inner satisfac- tion. Occasionally we drifted away from the feeling of pride but almost instantly We regained our determina- tion. Our list was mastered and the gains We earned throughout the year proved we could do any- thing with the support of our parents, faculty, friends and inherited desire. Now the time has come to begin another list. It will be longer and more detailed than the last because, we have a lot to live up to.
