Monthly National Honor Society meetings, the Maines Brothers’ con- cert, the Ag Turkey Sale and Tech football made the options clear. Still more regimented were the Discipline Man- agement Plan, which spelled out every offense and its punishment from gum chewing to assault- ing a teacher, and the state mandated teacher evaluation system, which required teachers to be graded four times a year.

The congratulations and the MV sign became a familiar sight. Though the activities had been planned out beforehand the spirit and the emotions had not.

It never bothered me because I was hoping something good would come out of our hard work, senior football player David Pemberton said. A change which affected everyone the first day of school was the reformed dress code. The hot months of the school year became hotter when the school board banned shorts as a part of the new dress code. Other garments banned included earrings for males, nose studs, house shoes, and sandals. Some of the mini-skirts have been shorter than the shorts , yet the shorts were banned, senior Stacy Dunn said. by Shelly Ewerz WHAT’S NEXT?

I hate all the rides.” Football prevailed until almost Thanksgiving. “Tech games are best when its cold and miserable,” Shannon Robitaille, senior, said, “becasue you get snuggly up in blankets.” High school football, though, was the main focus. “Renting the hearse to drive to the Dunbar game and decorating the town before Coronado and other things like that made the game more fun,” senior Toby James said. Three post game dances in the cafeteria, not always victory dances, provided a place to talk, to dance or just to hang out. The 11:30 closing time left those 17 and under enough time to get home before the midnight city curfew. “Even though there was a lot of peo- ple, the dances were just all right.” James said.

You just don’t let it get to you.” Volunteers found community service a good way to prepare for the future. Salisbury worked for LGH for two years to learn more about medical careers. Contact Lubbock offered teens the opportunity to help other teens. After 53 hours of extensive training, tele- phone workers provided teenagers an alternative place to call for support. Both remained anonymous and the discussions confidential. “Sometimes you work three or four shifts without a call and start to have second thoughts,” one worker said. “Then someone will call and you help them and they call back later just to say ‘Thanks.’ It’s a great feeling to know you’ve really helped someone.” Giving Christmas parties for four elementary schools, 329 students left class early or gave up part of their lunch to get everything together. ‘‘These parties are the only Christmas some of these kids will have, Becky Selke, senior, said. “They need us and we have to be there for them. by Lanna Brown CAREER ORIENTED.

That all important last 10 minutes was needed to get back to school and scramble for a parking place. Of course, there were the seniors lucky enough to have spots in the parking lot. “Lunch just isn't long enough. You hardly have time to sit down and eat before you have to come back,” junior Caprice Me Kinley said. Although many students stayed at school for lunch, some of those who WHAT A VIEW.

In a survey of 100 juniors, they listed Taco Villa, Burger King and Me Donald’s as favorite eating places. Some chose to go home. A dislike for cafeteria food was the main reason Amanda Cole, senior, ate off-campus. It cost too much to go to McDonald’s, and I kept getting in wrecks on the way; so I just go to a friend’s house.

We chose three typical students, a sophomore, a junior, and a senior, at random from a card file. In recreating a routine day, one may come to the realization that within each average student there was something unique. Each person's typical day was a-typical.

And the speed is slightly greater than that of a snail. Pulling out of the driveway, Jeter reached over and flipped on the radio; she quickly turned it off again. “Riding in silence is better than listen- ing to two broken speakers,” she said. At 8:16 she pulled into Monterey Shop- ping Center and found a place to park. She jumped out of her car to sprint across 50th, but her purse was weighing her down. “For some reason sophomore girls must carry suitcases,” she said. “It is always better to be prepared for whatever arises than to be caught short.

It was all junior Mike Henry could think about as he stopped at his locer on the way from woodshop to homeroom. With no projects to work on, woodshop students were playing softball, which had made Henry hot and sweaty. Several girls packed into a corner were talking as Henry sat down and laid his head on his desk, catching various parts of the announcements. All I do is sleep during homeroom, he said. There is really nothing else to do.” Using his notebook and two textbooks as a pillow, Henry slept until the bell woke 1E3D Three minutes meant waiting. Senior Nicole Brints hurried to put up her instrument. Lunch seemed so far away. When the bell rang, relieved students jumped to crowd out the doorway. Brints met two of her friends in front of the Band Hall. We switch cars. Some days we go in mine, and some days we don’t, she said. Today they took Brints’ car. And the race began. Cars weaving lanes and roaring up beside each other were enough to make the best driver nervous. Safely arriving at Burger King, Brints and her friends hopped out of her car to beat the lunch rush. Ordering the usual, a chicken sandwich, Brints used the last of the $5 her parents him. Making mirrors in second period metal shop was a breeze compared to the boredom Henry faced going to third period English. We’re reading Of Mice and Men right now; so I read or take notes, Henry said. But if class is really boring, sometimes I will just sleep. Catching up on his reading in English made Henry doze off several times. But he took notes like usual and waited, glancing at the clock. He hoped the bell would ring soon giving him the opportunity to make his usual Taco Villa lunch run. gave her at the beginning of the week. She would have to depend on her paycheck for lunch now. She found a seat and watched some sophomore girls order at the drive through until her friends joined her. Brints and her friends discussed the morning’s events: the new flag routine and the major English exam. But before long, 1:20 rolled around and the girls headed back to the school. The afternoon was a breeze, but Brints had work at Otto’s Granary to look forward to that evening. I’ve been working at Otto’s for a long time, she said. “I’m used to it but most people don’t stay there long.” Oh, to go out tonight, Brints thought as the 2:30 bell rang, and she headed for her car thankful for senior study hall. 8:26 Making believe it’s the first day of first grade, senior Nicole Brints blows off first period art class on Senior Kid Day.

Pholo by Rob Jones The bell rang and Jeter headed for the tennis courts, where her friends were waiting. It was off season and track members were getting out early. The day's events were the topic of discussion until Jeter glanced at her watch and the girls separated at 2:45. Then Jeter began the long trudge from her locker back across 50th. “After socializing a bit after school, I head to Dairy Queen for a cherry lime Sprite,' she said. And after her D.Q. detour, Jeter headed home. Once home, the immediate problem at hand was finding something to eat. The lunchtime trip to Burger King wasn’t enough to tide her over. A quick search through the freezer pro- duced Jeter’s favorite: chocolate ice cream. Satisfied, she kicked off her shoes and plopped down on the couch with her big bowl and the TV remote control. Settling with Three’s Company , Jeter considered the evening's possibilities. “Evenings as a sophomore girl are filled with Young Life, Campus Break, Tri-Hi-Y, and choir rehearsal,” she said. And then, of course, there was the telephone. Jeter already knew who she would have to call to catch up on the latest gossip. “I spend at least three hours on the phone every night,” she said. With gossip as her chosen activity, Jeter went back to her program, looking forward to long conversations with good friends. “I always talk until my mom comes in and tells me to get off,” she said. “Then I get back on it later.” is stomach growled as he threw his books on the couch. Glancing at the clock, junior Mike Henry pulled a box from the freezer and removed the food from the silver tray. Putting it on a plate, he threw it in the microwave. Henry did not need to read the instruc- tions on the box; he was well practiced in cooking TV dinners. “I work at United in the afternoons usually: so I eat TV dinners and my parents eat later,” Henry said. Between bites of Salisbury steak he scribbled his homework on a battered sheet of notebook paper so he wouldn’t have to worry about it later. Minutes later, Henry grabbed his smock and headed for the door, flipping off the TV on the way. There was no time for yard work today. Yard work sometimes took three hours of Henry’s day. Working until 10:30 was routine for Henry who put in 20 to 25 hours a week. At 10:30 Henry pulled up in front of his house. Falling on his bed, he was glad he had finished his homework earlier. With school the next day, all he wanted to do was go to bed. A look back indicated that a day in the life of Monterey was not a day in the life of any other school. Unique people with unique habits and unique lives made up the typical scene on campus. In that sense, one day at Monterey meant something different to each person. It was a matter of interpretation. by Renee Duncan 25 NIGHT RACKDOWN Low turnout casts negative vote on drug testing Voluntary plan chance to say no Culminating months of planning, arguing and speculating, the Lubbock Independent School District cancelled student voluntary drug testing in sec- ondary schools before it ever started. During February and March student households received a consent form and an explanation of the district's three-part plan taking action against drug use in secondary schools. Testing would require signatures of both parent and student.” Gib Weaver, assistant superintendent of secondary schools, said. Any disagreement should have been handled at home.” After the April 11 turn in deadline, numbers were not as high as district of- ficials had hoped for. Only 19 percent of high schoolers and 23 percent of junior high students agreed to be tested. Officials, however, did not see the plan as a game of numbers. The program is not an 'I gotcha' program. It gives kids who want to be drug free a reason to say no, Weaver said. The program is a waste of time, sophomore Richard Havens said. It just won’t accomplish what it says it will accomplish. Other provisions of the board’s three-part plan included education pro- grams for grades K-12 and continuance of the Substance Abuse Assistance Program. I have nothing to hide, but I don’t think that I should have to prove myself innocent of something I’m not guilty of, junior Mollee Bennett said. First, USD targeted athletes by set- ting aside $82,500 in August for drug testing. Citing computer problems and a bar- rage of calls from parents wanting to withdraw their students from the pro- gram, Dr. E. C. Leslie, superintendent, said the program would be postponed until fall. by Caren McNelly IN THE KNOW.

In reaction to the new law clubs began admitting persons 18-21 but with some restrictions. Clubs used hand stamps, arm bracelets or even a fence to separate the drinkers from the non-drinkers. I like to dance and now I can get into clubs, senior Kelly Gilliam said. For some people it gives them a reason not to drink by providing something to do that is non- drinking. by Caren McNelly UT-OFFS New dress code creates apathy No shorts. No mini-skirts. No earrings for males. No tank tops. New changes in the dress code heated up students who were used to going bare to beat the heat in the un-air conditioned building. It's ridiculous for the school board to say no shorts and no air conditioning at the same time,” senior Rod Martin said. Though the new dress code seemed easily accepted, it was not easily obeyed. I don't see 1,400 kids a day, and teachers have other things to worry about than enforcing the dress code,” assistant principal Beth Fischenich said. Apathy prevailed as the main reason for dress code violations. I’m going to be comfortable in spite of the stupid rule, senior Jill Hansard, who wore mini-skirts twice a week, said. Hansard didn’t see her clothes as cause for alarm. My skirts come to the top edge of my knee, not the middle of my thigh,: she said. My skirts are just as long as any shorts I would wear.” First time offenders received a warn- ing and offenses afterward earned the violator a day in detention, Fishcenich said. by Caren McNelly HOW TO SKIN A CAT. luring Biology II Lisa Leach, Impact II winner, lemonstrates to senior Corey Stovall the day’s rocedure in dissecting.

The teacher quickly checked roll and introduced the class objectives of the day. The scene sounded perfect as the teacher for one hoped it would be for the evalution. As a mandate from legislation two years ago, each teacher was evaluated four times by two different appraisers. Every teacher was evaluated twice by Principal Waylon Carroll and twice either by a central office ad- ministrator, assistant principal Beth Fischenich or vice principal Henry Zorns. Evaluators looked for four main points: classroom management and organization, instruction strategy, climate of the classroom and presentation of subject matter. “I like a relaxed atmosphere so all students feel they can participate without being intimidated,” Carroll said. Points were recorded as a one for average, a zero for below average, and EQ for exceptional quality. “I don’t know about getting EQ's because I don’t want to throw my students into shock by trying something new for the evaluation,” chemistry teacher Janelle Culp said. Evaluation day was different for all involved. “No one acts like themselves. Everyone tries to act sweeter than they are,” senior Linda Lipe said. “I evaluate students; so I think teachers need to be evaluated also,” Culp said. “We need to know that someone cares enough to tell us when we’re doing something right or wrong.” by Caren McNelly 29 SERIOUS BUSINESS RED EYE.

Photo by Marshall Duvall Board requests unitary status In an effort to end 17 years of court supervision of its desegregation, the Lubbock Independent School District planned to file for unitary status with the United States Justice Department in June. Unitary status would allow the district to make its own decisions on desegregation, a 1983 Justice Depart- ment issue said. I don’t think that the courts should tell us how to run our schools,’’ senior Deanna Gallier said. “I don’t think unitary status will change anything.” The Justice Department will base its decision on the USD’s past actions, school board president Gary Boren said. A move toward unitary status would allow “schools to use dollars for educa- tion, instead of pleasing bureaucrats in Washington,” Boren said. “They only see percentages. They don’t care how it really works. by Caren McNelly 30 STUDENT LIFE OMEMADE Committee checks out woes of 5A football teams Call it recruiting, magnetizing, or orientation, but still it was a euphemism for the fight among Lub- bock high schools for junior high students. Entangled by state sport eligibility re- quirements and plain old peer pressure, the fight, sometimes, was to keep a ninth grader’s loyalty to his home district school. State law dictated that a student must live in the district where he played, general counselor Mahlon Coulson said. Transfers had to sit out a year from sports. The only exception applied to students who transferred from a ma- jority to a minority school after ninth grade, Dr. E. C. Leslie, superintendent of LISD, said. LEAP transfers fall under the excep- tion, but kids transfering from Cor- onado to Monterey do not,” Coulson said. Though magnetizing affected pro- grams such as speech, math science and journalism, more attention was focused on recruiting’s effect on sports. It’s unfortunate that we have to recruit,” senior Kyle Guerry said. “It’s hard enough to get good athletes as it is. The school board created a commit- tee, composed of board members and LISD athletic officials, to study the district’s 5-A football woes. The district’s easy transfer system caused Monterey coaches to have to recruit their own players. by Caren McNelly HEAVY.

Paris offered more than a language difference for Tim Harman, senior, who went with Judy Braun, French teacher, and junior Edwin Braun, her son. Everybody was in style, Harman said. Even the old people looked great. Even though day temperatures hovered around 20 degrees, Paris stores showed the latest in spring fashions. For the girls shoulder pads, minimal jewelry and scarves are in. For the guys it’s baggy pants and loose shirts, all in dark colors,” Judy Braun said. With the dollar down, Europe was no bargain. A dollar exchanged for six francs or two-thirds of a pound. Homemaking teacher Joyce Cheatham’s Dublin rental car cost $500 for a week and gas sold for $2 a gallon. Since Dublin is in central Ireland, Cheatham evaded the violence of the north, she said. Unlike the usual beach bums and skiers, the four travelers opted for a dif- ferent spring break exchanging Let’s Padre” for Let’s Europe. by Caren McNelly BUSTED?

Impor- tant as well as casual conversation flourished in the halls as well as the classrooms. Writing notes declined in high school as compared to junior high. One reason for the decrease was the time devoted to in-class work increase over the junior high workload. Also, students thought it easier to give others valid information in person. “I don’t write any notes, because if you have to tell someone something, you should tell them in person,” sophomore Clayton Gammill said. “Notes passed during class help me catch up on what’s going on and help cut the boredom,” senior Holly Huff said. Also, notes passed during class helped her to make plans, such as at- tending baseball games, she said. Messages left on cars either in shoe polish or on paper, such as “State Bound! or “Good Luck” or I Love You” made feelings public. “It was easier to leave a note on a car because you can't always find the person during school, senior Peri-Ann Winder said. by Shelly Ewerz CATCH UP.

Talking on the phone until the wee hours of the morning was the getting acquainted process for couples not quite to the boyfriend-girlfriend stage. Phone calls varied in length from five minutes to three hours. Call waiting and three-way calling allowed students to keep their lines open and talk to more than one person at a time. Students who had three-way calling could call others with three-way and talk to an unlimited number of people at once. Talking on the phone at night was a typical teenage study skill and bulletin board. I talk to my friend about what’s been happening during the week and over the weekend, senior Holly Huff said.

The special education students cut, fired and glazed the molds, in addition to pouring them, Bill Armstrong, junior class sponsor, said. This is great because it helps stu- dents to work together, keep on task and work with their hands, Darlene Logan, aide, said. The hands-on experience and interaction with people is the most important part of their education, even more important than academics.” The masks were designed for the Not a theme Mardi Gras, a New Orleans' tradition celebrating Lent with parties and parades, Armstrong said. Canopied store fronts resembling Bourbon Street, red and white checkered table cloths with Perrier bot- tles, a balloon arch and metallic streamers in purple, green and gold enhanced the Mardi Gras atmosphere, Armstrong said of the decorations that cost the junior class $3,000.

Finding that person was sometimes difficult, but often getting together and spending time with one’s friends was just as meaningful. “When you go out with someone, all of your attention is directed toward that person; but when you’re with friends, it's more causual because everyone is having fun, junior Cristy Lewis said. Often, it was easier to go out with a group of guys and or gals because nobody was trying to make an impres- sion, junior Kyle Meers said. The activities ranged from going to the park to driving around town to watching movies at someone's house to even water skiing weekends, junior Jeff Linnartzsaid. On weekdays sometimes we get together to do schoolwork or go to Young Life activities, but most of the time we go shopping, Lewis said. “It’s harder to build a one-on-one relationship with one person than to go out and have fun with friends,” Lin- nartzsaid. The first date was the hardest to get through because both are nervous because they never know what will hap- pen, Lewis said. Meers admitted that he constantly checked for his wallet on a first date just to make sure he had money, but his greatest fear was meeting his date's father. “It’s harder to talk to the girl’s dad for some reason. One time I was talking to a girl’s father when somebody shot out a window next to where we were,” he said.

She smiled as he took her hand, and they strolled down the hall as if nothing had happened. Although dating was an exciting ex- perience, building a serious relationship took a lot of time and effort. “When you’re going out with one per- son, you get to know that person really well, junior Melissa Whitten said. He becomes something like your best friend. “In a relationship you get to become closer to one person than you could ever imagine,” junior Bud Parish said. Being “tied down” had its advantages because one always knew there was someone there for her, Whitten said. “You’re never alone because you always have someone to go places with, but you get so used to having that per- son there that when he’s not, you feel like something's wrong,” junior Loretta Groven. The most important thing is to be yourself and not to try to be something that you’re not, junior Keith Mann said. Often, because of their schedules, the only time Mann and his girlfriend could be together was on the weekends. Groven, on the other hand, walked with her boyfriend to classes, ate lunch with him and even spent time after school with him. “It hurt a lot to break up because you’ve been so close to them, and then all of a sudden you lose them, Whitten said. “You still might be friends with them, but you lose a lot of the closeness and trust you once had.” by Jim Clark 51 DATING THE WHEELS t6e y Cdea aye Cars relieve dependency on Mom ixteen long, grueling • years of Mom drop- ; ping them off at a ; dark, secluded corner ............a few blocks away from the movie theater were quickly forgotten when they reached the golden age of opportunity as licensed drivers.

Briggs, along with about 20 others were unable to beg off and had to spend a non-slumbering hour after school in the study hall pay- ing for their crime of the day.

Instead of turning in papers or taking tests, classes in the east downstairs hall of the main building spent class time rehearsing. I don’t like to practice because we practice too much at school and also at home, like an hour each night,” junior violinist Tim Allen said. Though practice was the method for the perfor- mance, talent was the motive. “I like to practice because I like to sing,” sophomore Sharee Blackwood said. That's why I got into choir.” However, talent didn’t always carry motivation. I’ve been forced to take violin lessons from the fifth grade and continue them,” Allen said. Now I’m pretty good, and I enjoy playing.” My class is easy for the few with natural talent, drama teacher Harlan Reddell said. “But I grade by how much a student is improving over where he started from. The improvement seemed easy for most students though. Most of our,talent was developed,” Reddell said. We really had to work to get people to over- come stage fright.” The combination of practice and talent brought the musicians and singers awards. In the UIL marching competition at Texas Tech, the band earned an one as it did at the sightreading contest in the spring giving the Honor Band sweepstakes.

The coaches on this hall are good at harassing passersby too.” Coaches often talked about the sport they coached, and the students liked that. “I like Coach Newton to talk about basketball because it gets us off the subject we're on, and we don’t have to worry about any work for awhile,” sophomore Rick De Splinter said. ”1 like having a coach for a teacher because they are more fun and not as boring. They are also easier,” he said. Coincidentally enough, that hall showcased the athletic trophies, including state championships. “I love being on this hall, and I also like being where I can see out in the courtyard and see the trees and green grass and Rusky the squirrel,” Newton said.

Although this was the second year Senior English and economics were required for graduating seniors, this was the last class that could graduate with under 20 credits, senior counselor Ann Linguist said. For electives students could take sociology or psychology or humanities or any number of business courses, including Vocational Office Education, on this hall. I really like Miss Chambless. She’s a good teacher. The subjects she talks about are in- teresting,” senior Paula Smith said of her sociology class. With the varitey of classes, the teachers had to adapt also. I didn’t do anything different,” government teacher Debbie Rowan said. “If I did, it probably wasn’t much.” For Charmane Crawford the year was full of changes in more ways than one.

I took Environmental Science because it was a science credit although I didn't need it, junior Kim Clark said. It also appealed to my thinking of the environment and its protection. This class was often used as a substitute for chemistry, senior counselor Ann Linguist said. It is an elective; and since most students have an interest in science, it is much easier to teach, Miles Walston said. There is also no issued text- book; so I can cover the things that I really think need to be covered.

There are lots of good, fun people in my class.” Economics, a class full of terms, questions and graphs, emphasized the future. If I had a choice of whether or not I could take economics, I would because it deals with real life,” senior Tracy Lamp said. It involves everyone now and when we get out on our own.” Along with English, economics is the most im- portant course taught in this building; and therefore, I consider it an obligation to do as good a job as I can to make the course interesting, alive and worthwhile in the eyes of the student as well as mine,” Hal Womack, economics teacher, said.

Science classes dominated the west side of the hall. I love how my room is set up. I not only have a classroom, I have a lab in the same room,” science teacher Lisa Leach said. The design of the science rooms proved to be more modern than those of the main building. I love the way the desks are set up on stairs.

I finally made it up the annex stairs. Now, if I can just make it to my classes without being tardy... Once students ascended the stairs, finding the next class was a breeze for students in the main building, but for those scheduled with classes in the annex, they were in the refrigerator, the home of the leftover classes. That hall housed an assort- ment of classes that ranged from geometry to algebra, from English to typing, from art to visual media and from history to health. To some students like sophomore Jason Moyer, the classes were “confusing at first, but now they just seem to be out of the way. “I love my room and its location. The room is large, has an outside fire escape door, and is close to the parking lot,” visual media teacher Sammie Knight said. The size of the rooms were not the only advan- tages of the upstairs annex. “The lockers are bigger in the annex, and that's definitely an advantage,” sophomore Bret Court- ney said. That hall was also notorious for its water fountains. “The water fountains are always leaking. People step in the water and make puddles over to the stairs creating waterfalls on the stairs,” senior Brandi Belt said.

Ran- dolph had been one two years in a row in the 99-105 class, there were no regional qualifiers for the wrestling team. Randolph was still named the squad’s most valuable player by first-year coach Paul Belk. Belk coached the wrestlers to a 3-5 record after being winless for two consecutive seasons. Monterey earned a 49-24 win over Dunbar-Struggs in their first match of the year then beat Cor- onado 39-27. They then came back to defeat the Panthers. Most of the matches lost were because the team did not have an entry in every class, Belk said. Because wrestling is not a University Interscholastic League sport, the city meet served as the grounds for regional qualifying. 110 SPORTS G Sophs part of family reenhorns most sophomores did not care because they felt like they were part of the team. “Everybody on the basketball team was really close.

Photo by Steve Bungle Tryouts hard to handle utting edge Cutting a player from the squad bothered the coach and the athlete. “It's probably the most un- pleasant thing that I’ve experienc- ed in coaching,” boys’ basketball coach Grady Newton said. “Especially when the player is a good kid and gives 100 percent in practice and tryouts.” So many new sophomores came in this year that Langdon had to start pulling back players who couldn't hit hard enough,” said Lea Schenck, who played both varsity and JV a year ago. Since there were only 10 varsi- ty spots, with nine players return- ing, there was really only one spot up for grabs, Schenck said. “I have runners come to me at all times of the year,” cross coun- try coach Jon Omdahl said. He didn’t cut runners because he let them cut themselves by letting the individual athlete tell him that he “can’t hack it.” by Todd Bennett BREAK.

An idea to let children know that the high school kids cared about them. Each homeroom sent the representative or alternate and four other students. They had the task of buying gifts and food for each child making sure that no child was left out. “Gifts, refreshments and games are appropriate, and you have to make sure that everyone knows what's going on,” senior Tammy Silva said. “Be really prepared, have something planned for every minute because their attention spans are so short.” Most of the teenagers were so excited that the waiting before they went into the classrooms was pure terror. “After you get there, the waiting is the worst because you’re so excited,” Silva said. All in all, the efforts made were worth every penny that homerooms and clubs put into the elementary school Christmas parties. “These kids need us, and we have to be there for them,” senior Becky Selke said. by Heather Grant AT THE ELEMENTARY Christmas party hosted by her homeroom, junior Tina Morris plays games with one little girl.

Membership seemed a natural extension of class. I joined French Club because it was the thing to do for French class,” sophomore Kelly Wood said. “It just went along with class. For some club pressure wasn’t to join. “The pressure was in finding the time to participate,” senior Pam Burrell said, “not pressure to join.” Common interests brought many club members together. I joined clubs to experience things that I might not get to. AT THE AG BANQUET senior Devin Hollis and Chyrel Beers, a Dunbar student, eat before the ceremonies begin with the presentation of the flags. and to get closer to people,” senior Latin Club member Wade Schuetzeberg said.

It all depends on your reaction to the infor- mation they give you.” To the contestants the ef- fects of practice seemed ob- vious. When I’d practice for my debate rounds, I was more confident and could present myself more clearly, Dan Elms, who qualified for na- tionals with Paul Lackey, said. For the non-practicers, the results were the same. We get enough general writing practice in newspaper anyway. So I would have done the same if I'd written practice stories, Duncan, who advanced to regionals with Caren McNelly who won first in editorials at district, said. by Caren Me Nelly TO SECURE JUNIOR Scott Browne for hU escape at the talent show rehearsal, junior La Kay Lacewell pulls the rope tight.

I have to practice before every number sense and calculator competition because if I get away from it for very long, I lose my sense for numbers,” senior Nathan Spoonts, who placed second in the state UIL number sense contest and first at the Texas Math Science Coaches state meet, said.

Everyone gaped at the streamers, signs and balloons that appeared overnight. I send notices to all of the club sponsors, and they sign up for the pep rallies. Since there were only five for foot- ball, it was a first come, first serve thing,” cheerleader sponsor Donnie Richards said. We went in with the idea to have fun,” junior Amy Thomas said. We just stuck up streamers and balloons all over the place. Sometimes some of the guys would get creative. Once they spelled out MHS with streamers on the basket- ball backboard.” Thomas, who decorated with the French and Spanish QUITE A CREW, including junior Leslie Masters, turned out to decorate for the prom. They transformed the ballroom Into Bour- bon Street complete with a balloon rch- Pr oto by Mafibaii Ovraii clubs, remembered when someone tied his keys to the end of a streamer to get it over a beam. The keys got stuck, and someone had to climb up on the rafters to get them down. “I don't know if it was scary to be up there, but I know I was scared just watching him,” French sponsor Michele Wade said. Students were asked in class to paint signs after school and to come at night to decorate the gym, Wade said. It makes me feel good in- side to know that I added to the spirit of the school and supported the teams.” Thomas said. It’s something that everyone should par- ticipate.in.

They went through the sophomore’s closet and picked out anything they wanted for the initiate to wear whether it was clothes that didn’t match or clothes that hadn’t been worn in years. “They made Kelly Plecker put her hair on the side and put a headband on. She had to wear an old t-shirt and Army jacket. For me they picked out this pink robe with little elephants playing musical in- struments on it. I hadn’t worn it since I was 5 years old. They made me tie it around my waist.” sophomore Dawn Wiley said. Makeup and brushed hair was not allowed. After the in- itiates were dressed, they all went to Deanna Gallier’s house and munched on doughnuts. “At about 8 we had to go to Me Donald’s, and by that time there were a lot of people there, some we knew. It was also so embarrassing, Wiley said. Initiates had to collect 25 National Forensic League points by attending at least three tournaments, Larry Knight, sponsor, said.

She sat back down among the rest of the members, just glad that she got up early enough to make it to the 7:45 meeting. For most club officers, duties extended only to scheduling meetings and showing up. “Mainly I just arranged meetings and took care of details,” senior Becky Selke, French Club president, said. The hardest part of having monthly meetings was finding dates that didn’t conflict with other activities, Selke said. Conflicts presented different problems for senior David Pemberton, Spanish and Key Club president. I had times where I had to choose between activities of the two clubs,” Pemberton said. Though their duties were by Caren Me Nelly limited, officers were still rewarded. “I got complimented for my work,” Selke said. “The praise was good enough for me.” Some served outside MHS including Brandi McGinnis who was elected Region I FHA vice president and Shanda Shields who was on the FHA Texas State Connection Team.

This was how senior choir members David Gaschen and Lane Collier entertained a busload of choir members on the way to Colorado Springs over spring break to participate in the Colorado Springs Choral Contest. Forty-five students compos- ing three different choirs sang their way to the top. Out of six divisions, Cantores and Mariachis won two of four gold medals while the Chamber Singers came away with a bronze. We were judged on our musicality and how well we knew the song and sang it. How we get into the music af- fects our scores and so does how well we pay attention to our director,” Jason Spoonts said. The judges love energy, Collier said. The Chamber Singers are judged on our flashiness and enthusiasm and how well we sing, not yell, the rock songs. Choreography is a big one too. Cantores sang Kyrie” and “Monday’s Child. The Chamber Singers won their bronze with Rockin’ in Paradise and We’ve Got Stars. There were no awards higher than bronze in the show choir division so MHS did the best sharing that honor with another school, Collier said. The singers toured the Air Force Academy and crowded the local mall after bad weather cancelled plans to go to Seven Falls and the zoo. We had a lot of fun ice skating. Even Mrs. Walker tried it,” Spoonts said. She did pretty good. She took a couple of tumbles, but she did pretty good.” by Christie Acrey Don't miss a LEADING THE BAND much as on the Florida trip, seniors Missy Bly and Colleen Ricci carry the banner during the Freedom Day Parade at Honey Elementary.

After spending Saturday driving, coaching and grading tests, Curbo returned home. Sunday was spent reviewing the tests and awards of the team. Representative of other club sponsors, Curbo dedicated his spare time and weekends to working for and with his students. “We do it because we enjoy working with the students. It helps offset the unpleasant parts of school. The work is a bright, positive spot, senior counselor Ann Linguist, who sponsored Graduation Celebra- tion until 2:30 a.m., said. Rewards came with the ex- tra time spent by sponsors with students. I love seeing the team win, Curbo said. And sponsors hoped the students found reward also. “Besides getting the students involved with school activities, I try to teach them to work towards their goals, Spanish Club sponsor John Ysasaga said.

Over 600 cheered for their favorites and tried to influence the judges, Texas Tech and Roosevelt cheerleaders, with their yells, whistles and screams. Sponsored by the cheerleaders to raise money for new uniforms, the contest raked in $1,870, Donnie Richards, sponsor, said. “The bigger crowd helped the overall atmosphere of the contest, especially the scream- ing girls, junior cheerleader Mark Minkley said.

That was what 15 students from 11 coun- tries experienced. “Once in geometry, Mr. Arm- strong aksed me a question, and I answered him in Danish. He thought I was trying to be funny and got upset,” junior Jonas Ahlstrom of Denmark said. “The cars here are so big, and everyone has one, Kim Fagerlund of Finland said. It’s always in- teresting to see our lifestyle from a different perspective,” senior David Pemberton said. “Kim went out to start the car and didn’t know which pedal was which and pressed the brake insteadof the gas. I just assumed everyone knew how to start a car.” by Lanna Brown ONE OF 15, Stefan Hcnningsson studies for a U.S. History test. Seeing cowboys all the time was the hardest thing for him to adjust to.

Candy, stuffed animals, homemade cookies, doughnuts and notes wishing a person a nice day were the most popular gifts. The Blue Crew, an unofficial group of senior girls, boosted spirit for the football, basketball, soccer, track and baseball teams. Tammy Silva said she and about 25 others spent from $5 to $40 per game. “When basketball played two games a week, my funds got really low,” senior Tara Fusco said. by Lanna Brown BEFORE THE GAME with cross-city rival Coronado, senior Kara Pierce hangs signs at Loop 289.

What would it really be like to be “Big Man on Campus?” Sitting on their own side at pep rallies and wearing their own t-shirts, seniors were the champs when it came to the Battle Cry. “Pep rallies are more meaningful because I’m a senior, and these are our last ones,” Becky Selke said. INSTEAD OF RELYING solely on photographs, senior Kyle Guerry filmed the homecoming pep rally for senior class memories and an eventual “High on School” assembly, ac- tivities director Don Matticks said. PfxXo by Mike CUrtc Although the decision to have fewer rallies met with less than a standing ova- tion, most seniors agreed it wasn’t all bad. “This way they don’t get dull and monotonous, senior Wendy Holcomb said. “Without dress-up days it was just like any other Friday, Ron Motley, senior, said. Pep rallies brought out the air-brushed Pink Floyd-style MHS senior t-shirts. by Lanna Brown 185 Wood, Britton Woodell, Russell Woodfin, Cinnamon Wootan, Christy Wright, Bryan Yarbrough, Tony Zarfas, Dax MAKING BELIEVE IT’S the first day of school, seniors Michelle Armstrong, Jennifer Loveless and Robyn Castle play Uno in homeroom. Photo by Ricky Domthan The last two months were cram city, especially for seniors, student activities director Don Matticks said. Money, time, credits and activities are all jammed together in the last two months, he said. Over half the seniors attended the Senior Banquet, Matticks said. It included a dinner, a speech by Kent Hance, wills and prophecies and a slide show. The highlight was definitely the slides, senior Jamie White said. Senior Kid Day began with breakfast at Furr's and ended with a swim party and barbecue at Clapp Park on a cool May afternoon. I wish we hadn’t had to go to school, Marianne Murfee said. It would have been more fun if the whole class could have gone to a park and just goofed off all day. The final activity, including a slide show, a dance, a preview of the Student Council video, door prizes and snacks, was the chemical-free all-night Graduation Celebration in the Texas Tech Rec Center. All senior activities, with the exception of Graduation Celebration, cost the stu- dent $4 to $10, Matticks said. “If someone had told me how expensive it is to be a senior, I would have never believed them, senior Gena Medley said. by Lanna Brown AT THE KID Day swim party seniors Cin- namon Woodfin and Carl Davis take pictures of Clay Whitley on the diving board.

Some students embarrassed easily when put on the spot by a teacher or while in crowds of strangers, and friends. “I usually embarrass easily,” junior Meredith Reed said. “The first day school has a history of being extremf embarrassing for me because of the ne teachers and new students I have meet.” Getting questioned and kidded about. embarrassing event made the situati worse.

I can’t wait until next year, but it won’t be the same because I’ll know what to expect.” To Kristi Griffith the thrill of getting her first car got to her. ‘‘I wanted that car so bad, and I really didn’t think I’d get it,” she said of the ice blue Impulse.

But there was nothing free about taking driver’s education when the school district dropped the class. “The decision to quit teaching driver’s education was an economic move,’’ Charles Caraway, director of special ser- vices for USD, said. “It was costing us too much, and we had to use full-time teachers.” The $159 students paid to take the class in school still didn’t help the district break even, he said. The only alternative was a commercial driving school. These courses included two phases: 32 hours in classroom and 12 hours behind the wheel, Sue Beene, operations assistant at the YMCA, said. The charge was $200. Other schools charged as much as $240 for a 17-day course.

Pboto by Jonji Atililrooi The competition was tough. She was nervous. After her speech, she wasn't sure if she had won. She knew she wrote her speech from the heart, and that was what mattered. Shelly Haragan, who ran for class office and won, found it hard to try out for something for the first time. At first I thought it was going to be harder to run, she said after new speech regulations were announced. But I did it through expressing my feelings.” The reason for trying out varied from wanting to be involved to wanting to be a leader. Cheerleader Angie Anderson tried out because she loved to cheer. Another reason I tried out is because I can’t play athletics because of a knee injury, she said. After tryouts there was a definite sigh of relief. I felt relieved, but I still had to wait to see if I made it or not,” Anderson said.

Different homerooms, seats at assemblies and seating at pep rallies tend- ed to divide everyone into groups. But common activities brought the fac- tions together. People combined at games, at dances, even at Macho Man and Good Times, to support each other. Teachers even mingled such as Hal and Joann Womack dancing among students at the prom. Junior attendance clerk Margaret Ragus sent birthday cards to her charges, and senior counselor Ann Linguist sent con- gratulation notes as her seniors got col- lege acceptances and scholarships. WHEN HISTORY TEACHER Stephen Johnson dressed up, the class knew how hard the test was by whether he wore a sportscoat or a suit. Someday I’ll freak them out and wear a tux,” he said.

Backpacks make life easier,” sophomore Julie Brunaugh said. However useful backpacks were, they were still outlawed in the library. This has been a policy over the years. It’s not something we just came up with. Students put books in backpacks; and when inventory is taken, we discover a large number of books missing. The NO BACKPACKS allowed sign is just one way to prevent this possibility,” Gwen Selke, library aide, said. Instead of lugging the backpacks camping style, students slung one strap over the shoulder. The reason for this, Brunaugh said, was that it took too long to put both straps on, too long to take them off and “you look like a nerd. 'They’re great because it’s really convenient to hit someone you don't like and say, ‘Ooops! I’m sorry. It slipped off,’ Brunaugh said. Besides a refuge for books, spirals and folders, backpacks also provided a stash for food, particularly candy. “I sometimes keep gum in there. It’s a good place because when guys want gum, they’ll ransack your purse. They never think about backpacks,” she said.

With their parents’ permission, of- fenders who plead guilty will be able to participate. “The impact is greater if teens are the judge, Junior League represen- tative Cathy Ranck said. “It’s greater than just paying a fine.” Since the offender has alredy pleaded guilty, punishment will range from apologies to volunteer service in an emergency room at a hospital. Then the lawbreakers will take their place on the teen jury. “This type of punishment “fits the offense more than dollars and cents,” Ranck said. Plans to recruit in April fell by the wayside, but Ranck said the program would be ready to start in the fall. Originating in Odessa, the court’s attorneys, reporter, baliff and jury will be the offender’s own peers recruited from each of the five USD high schools. The judge will be the only adult in the courtroom, Ranck said.

A note taped to the journalism door revealed the secret of the Monterey Zorro, who weekly plastered the halls with victory posters to athletic and academic teams. The year’s most en- thusiastic cheerleader, Loyce Sparkman, algebra teacher, a fan of all, of- fered an equation as the answer to her identity. “She kept pushing spirit,” Don Matticks, stu- dent activities director, said. “Though everyone had his suspicions about who was leaving the notes, what was impor- tant was that it got done, not who did it.” People pysched out the schedule that left nothing to chance. Proposed voluntary drug tests never materialized after months of debate and only a 19 percent “yes” response from high school students and parents. The second annual Macho Man Contest generated $1,870 for the varsity cheerleaders as well as 44 contestants for the screaming girls. by Caren McNelly Scholarships give 11 boosts Chance of a lifetime By taking chances on seemingly im- possible to win scholarships 11 seniors earned big money and prestige.

By chance, unplanned happenings twisted the scheme. The boiler replacement necessitated turning off hot water in early May, bringing portable hot water heaters for the cafeteria and gyms. Lab classes toted hot water. The All-American High School Recognition Pro- gram sponsored by the U.S. Department of Educ- tion named Monterey to a list of the top 29 Texas high schools based on a lengthy application from administrators, Principal Waylon Carroll said. Though from square one the calendar seemed to be leaving nothing to chance, events weren’t locked in. Animated by the chances taken, the schedule came to life as a way of capturing the past, enclosing the present and building up anticipation for the future. by Caren McNally TRANSFER.

The 248 page book includes a cover printed in Lithocote four-color using Red 30. 8lue 299 and Yellow 52. The cover and the cover logo were designed by Caren McNelly. The screen under “Chance was Letratone LT297. The paper stock is enamel 80 pound. Body copy was set in News Gothic 10 point with 12 point on division pages. All copy was set on an IBM computer using Taylor's Typevision. Each of the 1000 copies of the Chaparral was available for $20 if bought during the one-day sales or $30 if pur- chased thereafter. Ads were sold in blocks, 12 to a page, for $20 per block for ads in all five high schools or $40 per block for one high school. Individual photographs were taken by Richard Reylea of Whit’s of Colorado Springs. Some sports photos were taken by Steve Bringle. The 1987 Chaparral covered from September, 1986, to June, 1987. The Chaparral spent $50 for the adhesive-back plastic pouches to hold in- dividual pictures on the back endsheet. The pouches were bought from the Chiswick Trading Co. of Sudbury, MA. The Texas High School Press Associa- tion awarded the 1986 Chaparral All- Texas Honorable Mention, a top rating. Interscholastic League Press Con- ference awarded the 1986 Chaparral the Distinguished Merit Award. TPC selected parts of the book for Yearbook Yearbook, a national collection of yearbook samples. The four-color tip-in was a paid adver- tisement by the band and choir.
