Both high schools would lessen the crowds at North Mesquite, but the students didn’t want their unity lessened. Some families would have children graduating from different schools, and some, in addition to the Seniors, might never be a student here again. And those students wanted 1984 to be their best school year. a - 4 eee ceunel ed Side-splitter — kims: and Cheryl Wenz, Lieuter Pacesetters, perform the Se Pacesetter routine to ‘Look Number One” at the Highl Pep rally. ean Eight is enough — Seven Varsity Football players gather around their coach to plan their strategies against the Samuell Spartans.

School means Friday night football games, pep rallies, class parties, and trips to Chili’s. The friends and fun balance the drudgery of algebra formulas and participial phrases. Formulas and phrases are forgotten within a year, but .. the memories of student life last for decades.

The Homecoming Queen of 1983 is Keri Baird escorted by her father Ken Baird. ‘Home Turf’ It was October 7, a day filled with nonstop excitement. Students got to school early, so they could talk to all their friends, and see what all they got for Homecoming. Walking through the halls, there wasn’t a moment of silence, bells everywhere! Some teachers even made the girls scotchtape the bells before entering class. As the day lingered on, the excitement grew. Classes still continued, but it was difficult to concentrate on books when your thoughts were focused on that night’s activities. Finally the last bell of the day rang and students trampled to their cars, which some found shoe-polished. They hurried home to get ready for the night to come. Homecoming fans crowded into their home turf, Memorial Stadium to sit back and enjoy pregame activities. The Pacesetters and the Big Biue performed their regular pregame show with a little something extra. The moment that was long awaited finally came. The noise from the crowd died down and the ‘‘court’’ was announced. The crowd was silent when suddenly, “‘The 1983 Homecoming queen is. . . Keri Baird.’’ Keri was crowned by the former queen Sherri Reville and recieved a dozen long stemmed roses. Keri Baird comments on being Homecoming Queen, “‘I felt it was such an honor being nominated; It was so exciting to have my daddy escort me onto the field. He was as excited as | was. It was an experience we'll both remember for the rest of our lives.”’ As the crowd roared with excitement, the queen and her court were escorted off the field. The game was no let down for the Homecoming fans. The Stallions defeated the Garland Owls, 14-0. Student Life 11 Proud Moment — Orchestra President Dottie Spalding accepts an award for the orchestra at the Honor Orchestra concert in Fort Worth. This Concert’s for you — With Jana Gamble, Melody Roberts, Linda Boroughs, Danny Macey, and Paul Hunter looking on, Mr. Minnick introduces the TMEA Honor Orchestra. Some kind of hero — Director Weldon Minnick reads the plaque presented to him by the TMEA President. Musical magic — mr. John Kl ine directs the orchestra during a rehearsal at the Tarrant County Convention Center. 12 TMEA Honor Or Musical showdown — The Honor Orchestra practices hard prior to the big concert. Celebrate in Cowtown After 370 hours of organized class rehearsal time, plus innumerable hours of personal practice time and private lessons, the show was finally on the road. The show was the 1984 Texas Music Educators Association Convention in Fort Worth, Texas; and it began with these words, spoken by the TMEA President, ‘‘Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the N orth Mesquite High School Orchestra — the 1984 TMEA Symphonic Honor Orchestra.” The long day started on the morning of February 2 when seventy students, ten chaperones, and three music directors boarded buses, vans, and a U-Haul headed for Fort Worth. After the seemingly endless bus trip, the members of the orchestra relaxed by attending the concert of the String Honor Orchestra from Lake Highlands High School. After enjoying the sounds of the string group, it was time to get back to work and rehearse for the big concert that evening. This particular rehearsal, long and grueling though it was, was fil led with nervous jokes and anticipation of the event to come. The remainder of the morning and early afternoon were spent in the convention area viewing the exhibits, tasting free samples, trying out new instruments, and buying musical souvenirs. Later, the orchestra members reboarded the buses and traveled to Crystal’s Pizza Parlor to relax over dinner. For the NM orchestra, relaxation meant an afternoon spent playing video games and skeeball, watching cartoons and television, riding the coin operated cars and trains, and sleeping. As the exhausted orchestra members loaded the buses one more time, Jo Della King voiced the thought on everyone’s mind when she said, ‘‘Do we have to have a concert tonight?” The show, however, did go on. Amid changed plans, crowded restrooms, and limited mirror space, the seventy members of the high school orchestra were transformed into professional musicians. Director Weldon Minnick commented on this transformation by saying, ‘‘ think we have one of the most business-like groups around. | was most impressed by the preparation going on backstage and the fact that everyone finished like a trooper despite the nervousness.” The orchestra gave an outstanding performance, as the standing ovation proved. The orchestra members left the stage, collapsed into their bus seats, and slept, content in the knowledge that they were successful in their mission: To show Texas that the North Mesquite Symphony Orchestra is the best ever. Student Life 13 Mesquite Week: Every year one of the most exciting =] games is Mesquite vs. North Mesquite. The Skeeters have always seemed to bring out the best in the Stallions. The week of the game is spent preparing for the big night: everything from hat day, boot day, wrangler day, to door decorations and Epitaph winners: al l promoting spirit for the Stallions. The Cheerleaders asked the fourth period clases to make some kind of door decoration to show their support for the Stallions. While the orchestra began working on their double doors to the band hall and Mrs. Wilson’s Latin class collected streamers, Mrs. Allan’s Biology class was constructing the winner, a scientific examination of the Skeeter, proving he could be easily stomped by the Stallions. Painted faces — John McDaniel, Mark Dilodovico and their friends turned some heads at the North Mesquite-Mesquite game. They ail painted let ters on their faces that shelled out NMHS 1, just one of the many spirit ideas through the week. IMFO ICC TA PITT i a Boman ae | surrender.

Summer Pride When most people are sound asleep at 6:00 am ona hot summer morning, others are preparing for the future. Putting in hours of practice, from football and band to Pacesetters, Orchestra, and Cheerleaders, all practicing for one thing, PERFECTION! All starting out fresh and early in the year and in the morning, new and different things, hard and confusing at first, but with more and more time spent polishing certain steps, plays and notes, it all 16 Summer Practice starts to come together. The word is DEDICATION. Summer practice is for one purpose, to be the best. To be 1 in all they do. Even the most minute details count from which foot to start out on — which play to pass — down to smiling, even if it’s the last cheer of the day. Tammy Taber remembers how it was in the summer. “‘It was long, hard and tedious, having to lift people early in the morning with sun in your eyes and then having to come back at 9:30 that night and practice with the Stallion Battalion. It got old but we had a lot of good times. All these things have paid off for our organizations at N.M. Something inside of us tells us to keep going even if it hurts, because one day in the future they will remember all those hot summer days and how that paid off.’”’ Bang Your Head — The varsity football guys get a change in scenery when they had to practice in the gym. Hard Times — The Pacesetters take a break for a little talkin’ to by Bre homes, after along day of work. f Tuba Party — Kyle Whitton, LouAnn Starnes , Clifford Poll and Grant Richardson practice for the halftime shows in the fall. Back again... for another work out — The freshman cheerleaders take a breather and discuss the plans for the day at an early morning summer practice. Student Life 17 Gee Whiz!

Different jobs offer different advantages according to what they are. You can get general office experience, such as typing, filing, answering the phone, and sometimes accounting, working in an office. Michele Hopkins, who works in an optometry clinic claims, ‘‘l enjoy working with people and getting the chance to meet many interesting people.” Working with children in child care centers is great experience for future parents so they will know what to expect and how to handle things. Tammy Wilkins, senior, who works at Palos Verdes Private School remarked, “‘l’ve had a real treat learning how to potty train kids and feeding them chocolate cake. But just caring for the kids is an experience in itself.’ Subject to change — June Rodriquez wonders if there are any shoes in that style. Student Life 25 MPAA.

Gigantic hits such as ““E.T.,” ““Grease,”’ and “Star Wars’ . were all released during the summer in their respective years. Another season the movie industry targeted its releases was during Christmas. The American Dublic was able to view movies like ‘‘Terms of Endearment,”’ “Silkwood,” and ‘‘Yentl’’ in the Christmas season of 1983. When 1984 approached, Hollywood turned out hit movies after another. Perhaps one of the biggest nits of 1984 was ‘Footloose.”’ Like “Flashdance,” but witha male lead, “‘Footloose’”’ was the story of a teenage id who considered dancing as the most mportant thing in his life. Motion pictures sontaining high-caliber dancing was what teenagers flocked to the theaters to see. 1984 was also the year of the romance pictures. ‘Against All Odds” was the mystery romance picture about one man’s love for a lady whom he was hired to find. “Hard to Hold” was the musical romance story of an almost impossible relationship between a rock star anda businesswoman. ‘Romancing the Stone” was the action-packed romance movie about a man and woman in search of a valuable gem in the Columbian jungles. Different as they all were, romance was the key-plot of the three movies. Comedies certainly put in its share of hit movies. Among these were ‘‘Police Academy,” a comical look at police training, and “Splash,” the Disney produced fantasy directed by Ron Howard of ‘Happy Days”’ fame, is about the romance between a New York bachelor and a mermaid. According to junior Kim Nottingham, comedies were ‘‘the perfect way to forget all your troubles and to just sit back and relax.” Marvelous movies — UA Town East 6 remains a movie-goers. favorite for A tight fit — When Kenny Kemby searches for the right size debates on whether or not it is tight enough.

Excitement and joy spreads throughout anxious sophomores as they chose the perfect class ring. There are many varieties for both boys and girls. For girls there are a large choice of “‘after five” rings ranging from hearts to diamonds on the side. There is also the decision of which stone to order, including the blue sotne for the school color or the most personal, birthstones. Although much time and consideration goes into choosing a class ring many of them are worn by a boyfriend or girlfriend and not by the owner. As A pretty brassy group — As the sophomores order their rings the excitement grows throughout the group. Once in a blue stone — As the sophomores prepare for their junior year they order their class rings. A girl’s best friend — Michelle Kirkpatrick, Kristen Crockett, and Missy Morris compare their rings. sophomore, Debbie Watkins said, ‘‘l guess | will be excited when | get my ring, consider- ing how much it is going to cost re, but | could be more excited if | had someone who could wear it!’’ Many students paid for their own rings while other students expect their parents to pay for them. An expected cost ranged from $60 to $130. As Jon Mills, sophomore stated, ‘‘A class ring is a great thing to buy because several years from now you can still have something to remember high school with. | am glad that | have the chance to get a senior ring.

LTC Spann grew up in Lampasas, Texas, but went to college at Texas Agriculture and Mechanical University (A M) where he graduated in 1941. He saw military service in Germany during World War Il and in the Korean War, but decided to teach after twenty- two years of service. LTC Spann began the JROTC program at NM, and for fifteen years he has been teaching it. He has seen over 1500 cadets go through the program. One of the reasons LTC Spann has enjoyed teaching RJOTC is that it offers many benefits to the high school NAMES SPANN ARMY INSTRUCTOR student. It teaches them basic weapons, ability to speak and write effectively, leadership, and most important, loyalty to our country. Several students have been given appointments to U.S. military academies after graduating from JROTC at NM. His reaction to his many years of service, was, “‘l enjoyed my contact with young people and hope that | have contributed to their future.” JROTC.

Better Than the Best Practice, practice, practice. The Big Blue grew accustomed to the seemingly endless hours of practice that prepared the band for their two performances at the Parade of Champions on October 10, 1983 in the Cotton Bowl. The Poteet High School parking lot was like a second home to the mr e than 200 members of ths marching Big Blue. Rehearsal starting times crept from 7:15 to 7:00 to an early 6:45 on the final days of preparation for the Parade of Champions. While the majority of North Mesquite’s students looked forward to their day at the State Fair, the Big Blue gathered at Memorial Stadium for a final run- through before heading for the Cotton Bowl. Gilad it’s over — Sharon Carter relaxes after the band’s afternoon show. The band's first performance that day was near perfect. The Big Blue’s excellent show thrilled spectators who showed their approval with numerous standing ovations. Lauren Lowery, freshman, commented on the experience. ‘‘The hard work we had done over the months finally paid off. The standing ovations were just fabulous.’ After several hours of watching other bands and eating in the stands, the Big Blue once again marched onto the field. And once again, the band brought t he audience to its feet throughout the performance. All the fans, marchers, and even the perfection-seeking band directors were pleased with the show. It was the general consensus that the Big Blue had taken first place. The judges thought otherwise, however, and they sent the trophy home with Richardson’s J. J. Pearce. Although the Big Blue’s disappointment with second place was apparent, the thought that they could have won was something to be proud of. Senior Diana Linker felt that the contest was a learning experience. “The Parade of Champions taught me how to work with a large group and also what dedication means. It was a blow to my pride when the Big Blue was not selected to win, but | believe my character and resolve were strengthened because of it.” Bugle Boys — Jimmy White and Carlos Arevalo perform to ‘‘Free’’. | i Faithful fans — Teri Carter and Michelle Lewis support the band at the Cotton Bowl.

Another important favorites election is the election of Mr. and Miss NMHS.

It could be a trip to Hawaii. It could also be an extravagant wardrobe from Neiman-Marcus. But for many, $700 or more is the price tag to a fur Senior year. According to senior Shelley Boling, it cost her up to $500 her senior year. Shelley commented, ‘| spent so much because | wanted to have furi my senior year before | have more responsibilities like having a family and a job.” The heavy expenses start several days before the first day of senior year. Seniors normally start the school year with a set of new clothes. At the beginning of football season, Seniors start to hold back and save money for the most expensive game of the season — Homecoming. Homecoming mums are priced from $8 to $80. In late September, the senior pictures are taken; another $100 spent. Afterwards, the feeling of graduation lingers in the seniors’ minds with the arrival of the cap and gown and the graduation invitations. The price for cap and gowns total up to $15, while invitations range from $20 to $35. Finally, the long anticipated Senior prom comes and goes; taking with it $200 from each student. As gracluation day finally arrives, the seniors cannot only forget ail the school work they have suffered through but also all the money they have spent. It is those seniors who walk off the stage with a diploma in their hands but with empty pockets. Graduation Inflation Seniors Jana Gamble, Carla Ray, and Wendy Marshburn compare their bills during the ordering of Graduation invitations.

The girls nervously watch the huge arena slowly fill up with a sellout crowd of more than 17,000 fans. At the sound of the half-time buzzer, it was time for the Pacesetters to take the court. Dianna Heath commented on the performance. ‘The Maverick Think Rich — Robin Richhas a rest count in the Maverick routine, and takes time to glance up into the sell-out crowd. game was an exciting experience, | suppose most of us were nervous about _ performing, but after we got out on the court and the music started, it was just plain fun for everyone.” Most people there had never heard of the Pacesetters; but after Friday night’s performance, they left the arena with a little bit more knowledge of tha girls frorn North Mesquite.

The seniors get senioritis and the juniors become sick wishing they were seniors! We go through classes with our heads bobbing, and our eyes slowly closing shut on us. Paying no attention to tardy bells and not remembering what the word studying means. It has affected every student at one time or another. ‘‘The fever makes me want to drop everything and go have some fun,”’ comments Cheryl Harpmen. But then all of a sudden when the last bell of the school year has rung, everyone remarkably gets better. But after awhile everybody wish they were back at school with their friends in the fall.

Far from Home What its it like being thousands of miles away from home in a strange country -— without any family or friends? Two NM seniors, Annie Jagerhoim and Par Gustafsson know exactly what it feels like. Annie and Par both share the same homeland, Sweden. Annie is from Stockholm and Par is from Klippan. They are here through a foreign exchange program calied the American Scandinavian Student Exchange. In this program, Par and Annie stay with an American family for a year and attend public schools. Both Par and Annie were asked how they felt Mesquite compared to Sweden; they responded much in the same way. Annie replied, ‘““Sweden doesn’t look like Texas at all. We have many more trees and lakes. The school here is much easier than in Sweden.” “Sweden doesn’t compare (82 Seniors Foreign manner — An excited Par takes a well-deserved break during a JV soccer game. to Texas at all. The place | am from, Klippan, is a little city with about 18,000 to 20,000 citizens. We have one movie theater, four places where you can buy hamburgers, and no shopping centers like Town East,’’ remarked Par. Par is a member of the Stallion Battalion and plays JV soccer. Annie was a member of the Plano Senior High School swim team earlier in the year. There are a few drawbacks to the exchange program. “This year doesn’t count for me, and | will not get any credits. | have two more years of school when | go back,” said Annie. Both Annie and Par said that they enjoy staying in the United States; however, they both agree, that there’s no place like home.

Over a hundred students, one hundred and fourteen to be exact, came to school prepared to give a gift of themselves. Co-sponsored by the Blood Center at Wadley and the Student Council, the yearly Blood Drive added one hundred and three pints of blood to the North Mesquite account. As in the past, the blood will be held in reserve account until it is needed. It will be available to all NM students and their families in time of need. The blood drive is well on its way to becoming a worthwhile tradition at NM. Student Council sponsor Ms, Sandra Gray said, ‘‘Itis definitely worthwhile. It gives students to give a gift of themselves to their fellow students. It is a great feeling to be able to help someone in dire need.” Blood donor Leanne Goolsby agreed with Ms. Grayon the importance of the Blood Drive. She said, “| was scared to death before | gave blood, but after it was over, | felt great. It makes me feel great knowing that | might save someone’s life by giving blood.”’ Celebrate life — NM nurse Ms. Doris Eaton helps someone celebrate life as she gives blood. Next, please — Laura Lynd signs in potential blood donors. The Bobbsey twins — Bobby Brady and Chuck Lipsett are entranced after giving blood.

Orchestra; dens ey a Something to Shout About And shout they did! At the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, the Americans came home with eight medals, four of which were gold. Bill Johnson, the gold medalist in the men’s downhill, started out with the confidence of a winner. This ‘“‘tow- headed”’ California- born kid of 23 let everyone know that there was “‘no doubt”’ he would win the gold, and win it he did. In the ice-dancing category, Kitty and Peter Carruthers, a brother-sister team, brought home a silver medal. Their second place finish was the best by any American pair since 1952. At the end of their performance they embraced tightly, forgetting to bow to the judges and crowd. “When you get everything you worked and drearned for together . . . well, we just wanted to enjoy that moment for as long as we had it,”’ explained Kitty. After it was all over, Scott Hamilton, — whowon the gold medal for free-skating, reflected, “l worked so hard, trained so hard, waited so long. | wanted it to be special. It wasn’t my best, but | did it... | feel like | just fell off the edge of the world.” Christin Cooper, who finished second to a very surprised Debbie Armstrong, summed up the games, ‘‘You could take all the joy out of life, by always wanting something better.” High and mighty — Kitty and Peter Carruthers, a brother-sister act from the U.S. won the silver medal for ice dancing. That winning feeling — Bill Johnson, a cocky, West Coast kid, was the first American to win the gold medal for the men’s downhill. A touch of heaven — Jayne Tovill and Christopher Dean gave the Winter Olympics its first utterly flawless exhibition: nine perfect 6.0 marks. courtesy: Time TRACY WASHBURN (2-14-66) Science Club (President); Latin Club (Secretary) Big Blue; Freshman Band; Symphonic Band; Honors Band; Orchestra: Blue Brigade; FHA.

To seniors, class rank is important, and many take extra classes just to graduate with honors. “‘l wanted to graduate with honors because | believe that your high school background is what you can build your future on,’”’ observed Janet Slaton, who ranked fifteenth. “If you don’t strive in high school, your future will be limited.”’ The most coveted positions among Honor graduates are Valedictorian and Salutatorian, which Lena Carroll and Melanie Johnson, respectively, were glad to receive. ‘Being a student has always been one of my top priorities, but | had no idea how high my class rank was until the end of my junior year,’’ commented Lena.

The PSAT stands for Preliminary Scholastic Aptitute Test. The test functions for two primary reasons. After taking the PSAT, students get an idea of what to study for the SAT, which is generally taken by seniors. “| took the PSAT to help me prepare for the SAT, and to help me realize which area of study | need to improve,”’ said Melany Guy, junior. Oh wow, another test — Renee Jezieroski does some heavy thinking just before taking the SAT. Testing their mental — Debbie Heurtin nervously gnaws her lip as Kernie Brashier contemplates the test. 106 Seniors Junior, Kelli Revennaugh remarked, ‘‘l took the PSAT because | plan to goto college, and | thought it would be a good preparation for the SAT.” The PSAT test gives a few of the elite scholars a chance at a scholarship. The PSAT serves as a National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, also. ‘| didn’t really think it was worth getting up that early just to take a test, but now that it’s over, | realize its importance,’ said Edward Abarquez, junior. Getting up at 7:30 arm just to take a test may not seem worth it. But in the long run, those who took it were glad they did.

Football? Basketball? Soccer? No, it’s none of these. A different kind of class has emerged on the campus of NM — a weight lifting course. Started by Coach Kenny Barnes, this course may prove to become a tradition at NM. This class can be taken in place of a PE class and is offered to girls as well as guys. Coach Barnes speculates that of the students now taking the weight lifting class, more than half will be back in it again next year. “?m really getting what | expected out of the class. It’s a really great course to take because it improves your body so niuch. It’s alot better than a regutar PE class,”’ 108 Juniors said Dwayne Butler, sophomore. Junior, Missy Logan remarked, ‘‘The guys treat us like we were one of them. When we go through the door to start working out, all of the guys practically run over us.

There wasn’t enough room in the halls, chairs in the cafeteria, or parking places in the parking lot. The trophy case was crowded, the auditorium could hardly hold West Mesquite students, much less North Mesquite students, and the football field could barely squeeze on the 265 members of the Big Blue.

Two of a kind — Shelley Boling and Robin Rich take time out from learning football routines at Kilgore College to enjoy each other's company. SUMMER — a time of relaxing, sleeping, and goofing off, right? WRONG!! For many students, their summers are filled with summer camps and workshops for their school organizations that begin in the fall. The Big Blue Majorettes go to asummer camp at ETSU, where they learn new twirling techniques. ‘“We mostly learn new tricks, but of course you can never learn everything,’ emphasized Regina Mills, Head Twirler. ‘“‘There’s always something new to learn.”” Regina was named Outstanding All- Around Feature Twirler at Camping In Serre ETSU, while Wendy Davis and Crystal Phillips won awards for Outstanding Feature Tricks and Outstanding Three-Baton, respectively. The Varsity Cheerleaders also go to summer camp, but at Stephen F. Austin, where they learn cheers, pom-pom routines, tumbling techniques and pyramids. The Varsity Cheerleaders won the Award of Excellence at camp, which qualified them to compete at the National Competition in December. The JV and Frosh also competed for the Award of Excellence at their summer camp, Texas Tecra v cine Organizations Spend Their Summers Planning For Fall Christian University. Out of eighty-seven squads, the JV was one of the final seven squads considered, and the Frosh squad was chosen the runner-up. While the Cheerleaders and Majorettes were at camp, the Pacesetters were at home preparing for their only chance at competition: . summer camp at Kilgore College. ‘‘The seniors look forward to competition at Kilgore because it’s our only chance to see how we match up to other drill teams,” said senior Pacesetter Theresa Deal. The Pacesetters came back with superior ratings in all four competition routines, and then learned football routines andhandroutines for the rest of the week. They — also competed in military calls under the direction of the military instructor Jere. They ended their week by showing two of their new routines. For the Pacesetters, Cheerleaders, and Majorettes, summer camps are some of the most — important activities all year long. So next time you’re drinking a coke in front of the — tube, or catchingsomerays _ in the yard, remember these . — organizations, working hard so that you’ll appreciate them.

Out of ten people asked, only three correctly answered “MTV,” Music Television. During the late summer of 1981, Warner Communications presented to the public MTV, a twenty- four hours a day program devoted to showing modern music videos. Many generously accepted it into their homes. Soon, other programs showing only music videos hegan to pop up across the country. There are reported to be 200 programs that show videos, but there are many reasons why MTV isa favorite among the viewers. Five of those reasons are its hosts: Mark Goodmani, Martha Quinn, J. J.

In addition to the hosts, MTV occasionally shows “Closet Classics,”’ old tapes of performers from the past, while other video programs pee Courtesy Life Musical Millionaire — Michaei Jackson emerged as the top music and video star in 1983.

Performers such as Billy Idol, Hall and Oates, and Eddie Murphy preside as “Guest DJ’s’’ once a month. “Cutting Edge,” ‘Liner Notes,’’ ‘Rebellious Jukebox,” and ‘‘Saturday Night Concerts”’ spotlight on various recording artists.

Their spirit stretched all the way to Austin. z Bad eonpen — Coach Barnes advises the Varsity Football Team in a quick time- out at the Mesquite game while Coach Taylor looks on. The District Championship slipped out of their hands by a bare three first-downs at this game. While the Girls Cross Country Team traveled to Austin for the state finals, the football team was at Memorial Stadium battling for the district championship. All over school sports teams were doing their best to make one of our last years together the best ever. With the opening of Poteet High School in 1985, this excellence and desire to be the best ever would spread over half of the school district.

The team started running and working out in the summer. Coach Hicks was determined to have his guys in shape before the regular season began. And, being Coach-of-the-Year, who should know better than the coach himself. Steve Barker: “| feel the summer experience we received improved our capabilities of playing in crucial games and helped get us uSed to the play-offs and the pressure that comes with it.’ Senior, Joey Wallace commented, ‘‘The team worked together all summer. We lifted weights and ran. We really became closer as the year wore on.”’ The Stallions began by taking second place in the Mesquite Invitational Tournament. NM defeated West Mesquite and Lufkin, losing only to Mesquite, 3-2 in the tournament. The following pre-season games were all victories with the exception of two tie games to Richardson Berkner and North Garland, 9-9 and 7-7. The mighty Stallions then swept away the district games. South Garland was the Stallions’ first victims of the district season. The Bili Hefner, Joey Wallace; (row 3), John Ed- wards, Jim Cain, Mike Embry, Frank Darnell, Pete Manicchia, Coach John Hicks, and trainer Keith Higginbothom game ended with NM coming out ahead, 4-2. The team then went on to clip the wings of the Wilmer Hutchins Eagles, 16-1. The Stallions had their confidence up. They defeated Garland, 11-2; Highland Park, 7-0; Lakeview, 17-4; and North Garland, 9-2. NM maintained its winning record by taking with them outstanding victories against Mesquite, 4- 0; South Garland, 10-1; and Wilmer Hutchins, 10-2. The Garland Owls were the first to break the Stallions nine-game winning streak, 7- 5. Thomas Jefferson also defeated NM in a non-district game, 10-0. But the Stallions came back to smash Highland Park, 7-4, and Lakeview, 11-2. NM then had another minor setback, losing to North Garland, 7-4. In the last game of the district season, NM took an impressive win over Mesquite by ascore of 4-1, leading the Stallions with a district record of 12-2. ‘‘The game against the Skeeters was really the high point of the season. It put us in first place and sent us to the play-offs,’’ said Pete Manicchia. After winning the district title, the Stallions went on to the bi-district play-offs. NM A backward glance — Coach John Hicks checks out the field during the game. overcame H. Grady Spruce in the first game, 10-4. In game two, pitcher Frank Darnell had only seven singles through seven innings in a game that lasted nearly three hours at Pleasant Grove Field. In the first inning, Darnell was walked, stole second, and then overslid the base to third on Joey Wallace’s infield single to the shortstop. But the Spruce third baseman failed to make the tag and Darnell got back to the base and was ruled safe. Darnell then made it to home plate on a wild pitch. Spruce managed to get a few runenrs on base in the bottom of the first inning, but could not seem to score. In the second inning, Bill Hefner, Eric Stone, and Diron Hitt all had base hits, scoring two runs, the last one coming when the Spruce center fielder dropped Kevin Black’s fly ball. As the game progressed, Spruce came within one run of the Stallions. By the seventh inning, Steve Barker reached first on a ground ball to the Spruce shortstop. Barker stole second, and went to third when the Spruce third baseman bobbled a ground ball hit by Kerry Davis. Sports 151 Senior Frank Darnell has been playing baseball since he was six years old. He started pitching when he was eight. His junior year, Frank dropped football and basketball because he wanted to concentrate on one sport. Frank said, “‘l wanted to concentrate on one sport, and | figured | could do better and go further in baseball.”’ Frank’s pitching record is 9-2 and his batting average is .350. After graduation, Frank plans to attend college and major in psychology and coaching. 152 Baseball f Double Play Sophomore, Bill Hefner was walked, which made the bases loaded. Diron Hitt, batting for the first time without the protective face mask used to protect the jaw he cracked earlier in the season, was hit by a pitch, forcing in the final Stallion run by Kevin Black. Coach Hicks said, ‘‘I didn’t know if we were going to than any team before us. We had the potential of making it, but injuries hurt us a lot,” said senior, Kerry Davis. ‘“‘We just played the best team too early in the play-offs.”’ The Stallions had played impressively well. With two first-rate pitchers like Kerry Davis and Frank Darnell, it’s no wonder that they gained both the district and bi- ‘We had the potential... but injuries hurt us a lot.”’ — Kerry Davis score enough runs. But the walks helped us.”’ The Stallions had won the bi-district championship, beating Spruce in two straight games. The Stallions were playing as well as they had ail season. Their next stop was the area play-offs against Thomas Jefferson, which later proved to be the Stallions’ downfall., In the first game, the T.J. pitcher did not allowa Stallion hit until the sixth inning when Eric Stone got a base hit. Sophomore, Pete Manicchia’s seventh inning double was the Stallions’ only other hit. They were repeatedly being set up for those curve balls sent from the Spruce pitcher. NM fell, 4-0. In the second game, Kerry Davis pitched the entire seven innings, while striking out three and walking two. Davis pitched well, giving up only four hits. The Stallions lost, however, 3-0. This was only Davis’ second loss of the year. “The team went further district titles, with a season record of 21-6-2. The outstanding batting records of Joey Wallace, Steve Barker, and Pete Manicchia helped, also. District awards went to: 1st Team All-District — Frank Darnell, Kerry Davis, Joey Wallace, and Pete Manicchia; 2nd Team All- District — Eric Stone and Steve Barker; Honorable Mention — Kevin Black, Bill Hefner, and Diron Hitt. Pete Manicchia was awarded with Sophomore-of-the-Year while Coach John Hicks was named Coach-of-the-Year. Most Valuable Players were Kerry Davis and Frank Darnell. Joey Wallace won the Offensive Player Award. Defensive Player Award went to Kevin Black. “| feel the team worked hard this year to meet our goals. We set them and reached them the way we wanted to. We went as far as we could, finally losing to an excellent team. | feel we did our best,’’ commented Kevin Black.

Chuck remarked, ‘We had the talent for a super team, but we just never seemed to pull it off. Our downfall was the number of errors we made. If we could have stayed away from the mistakes, we could have done a lot better.”’ Besides playing baseball, Chuck enjoys playing golf and other outdoor sports. 154 Baseball | A Season of Learning Not much can be said for a varsity team with a losing season. But when aJ.V. team doesn’t have a very good season, it can always be said that they have learned from their mistakes. Junior, Chuck Houpt said, ‘Although we lost quite a few games, we learned some things and became better baseball players.”’ The team started off with an impressive win against West Mesquite, 8-5. Overconfidence from this win may have played a role in the next two losses. NM fell to Mesquite, 6-4, and Berkner, By this time the mighty Stallions weren’t feeling so mighty after losing four straight games. The guys pulled together to break that losing streak by overcoming West Mesquite, 4-3. The Stallions romped over Highland Park witha shameful score of 13-1. Sophomore, Tommy Morton commented, “‘l feel that the high point of the season was when we defeated Highland Park in only five innings here at home.” The team suffered another loss in the next game. éé ... we learned some things and became better baseball players. ”’ — Chuck Houpt 0-7. The Stallions decided that they were tired of losing; so when the game against Wilmer Hutchins came, they put up quite a fight. NM won, 9-8. The team then went ona four-game losing streak. The next game was against Kaufman’s varsity team. The NM guys played a good game, but lost, 12-7. Irving MacArthur also defeated the Stallions, 4-0. The team also lost to North Garland, 8-0, and Lake Highlands, 8-7. Good play — Tommy Livingston watches the varsity team to pick up a few pointers. Lakeview managed to win, 9- 6. “Just as the Highland Park game was our high point, the Lakeview game was the lowest. We should have won because we were a much better team,” said Tommy. The Lakeview game turned out to be the Stallions’ last loss. The team went on to smash Garland, 10-0, and Wilmer Hutchins, 6-2. Coach Morris, remarked, “The season overall was a little above average.

He was valuable late in the season for his aggressiveness on defense and consistency on offense. “Cregg and his fellow offensive linernen opened large holes for the NM offense against Mesquite, Garland, B.A. and Higland Park,’’ said Coach John Hicks. Because of these contributions Cregg’s teammates selected him as the team’s most valuable player. 156 Football Junior League The JV football season began slowly, compiling a 1- 3-1 record in its first five games, the season would pick up in its last five games, posting a 5-4-1 season record. “Even though the team was alittle thin on depth and talent, it was very competitive throughout the season,’ said Coach John Hicks.

Laying down the lawn — The Stallion defense catches the kick-off against Samuell. Running in Shadows The last twelve seconds of the game. The Stallions rush onto the field. As Paul Teagle prepares to kick the ball, the crowd is blanketed by a sudden quietness. The ball is snapped and soars through the air. Suddenly, a 20 mph northeast gust of wind pushes the ball wide left, within inches of the goal posts. Thousands of fans rejoice while others stand in awe. The Stallions were within seconds of the play- offs. “Il knew it wouldn’t make it in that wind,” said Coach Gary Childress. The strength of the Stallion defense kept the Mesquite Skeeters from scoring, but the weakness of the team’s offense caused NM to fall short of a play-off birth. The game was typical of the Stallion Football season. Jimmy Mohr’s point after attempt was good, and NM led, 7-0, with 11:26 left in the first half. NM’s second touchdown have been 30 to 10 if the fumbles and penalties hadn’t slowed us up,”’ said Coach Kenny Barnes. NM 20 — Samuell 3 The season opened at Forrester field against the Samuell Spartans. Pinpoint passes, timely runs, and perfect execution were just a few of the characteristics of the contest. The defense stiffened while the receivers caught everything thrown up as the backs gained the tough yardage when needed. Running back, Frank Mills, scored on runs of one, two, and four yards to account for NM’s scoring. North Mesquite set up it’s first touchdown on a brilliant Matt Stephens-to-Troy Morton pass play that netted 43 yards, moving the Stallions to the Spartan eight. Running back, Chris Youman, had carries of three and four yards to setup a one-yard touchdown run by “We had unity as a tear, but | feel like we had con- fidence in each others abilities. ”’ — Anthony Rizzotto was set up by Matt Stephens, who faked a pitch on the option and rambled 61 yards to Samuell’s eight. Frank Mills picked up six yards on the next play and then went two more for the touchdown with 10:43 left in the third quarter. Jimmy Mohr missed the point after attempt but the Stallions led, 13-3. North Mesquite’s final score came after a short Samuell punt, which gave the Stallions the ball on the Spartan 31. Frank Mills bounced off right tackle for 27 yards for the touchdown.

NM 27 — Bryan Adams 0 The traditional game against BA took place at Memorial Stadium and began with a spark. Early in the second quarter, Frank Mills ran 75 yards for an apparent touchdown. However, it was called back when the team was flagged for an illegal motion penalty. On the next play, Frank ran the same pattern and was tackled after reaching the Cougars’ 29 yard line, a gain of 51 yards. Once again a motion penalty wiped out the play.

South was playing without its top running back, Chris Wickersham, but the Colonels had plenty of chances to upset the Stallions, after a 33-yard pass the Colonels had a first-and-ten at the Stallions 13. North Mesquite took over at the 24, and three plays later Frank Mills broke up the middle for a 71-yard touchdown run and a 7-0 lead at 6:28 of the first quarter.

North Mesquite put the game away with a 64-yard drive that Matt Stephens ended with a 1-yard touchdown run. The key play was a 43-yard pass from Matt Stephens to Troy Morton. The Stallions added a touchdown on the first play of the 4th quarter on a 21- yard pass from Matt Stephens to Paul Cannaday for a31-6 victory. NM 17 — Wilmer 20 The way Wilmer-Hutchins and North Mesquite started out at Mesquite Memorial Stadium, it seemed they would score in every con- ceivable manner. They almost did. After holding Wilmer on its opening series, North Let’s get physical — Keath Bobo recovers from a tackle by HP. Mesquite drove to a31-yard field goal by Jimmy Mohr with 6:43 to go in the first quarter. With only 3:31 to goin the half, the Wilmer-Hutchins quarterback had his team driving at the Stallion 37. The ball sailed into the hands of defensive back Mike Collins, all 128 pounds of him, and he ran it back 80 yards fora touchdown. That put NM ahead 10-6 at the half. Things were beginning to look up for North Mesquite when full-back, Chris Youman punched over ona four-yard run following a 20- yard play. Youman’s score made it 17-6. Two possessions later, North Mesquite was stopped onits own 31. Punter Steve Barker took alow snap and Wilmer-Hutchins blocked the kick. The strong Stallion defense could not stop the Eagles from winning with ascore of 20-17. Bolting out of the blues — The Stallions warm up for the game against the BA Cougars at Memorial Stadium.

Running in Shadows NM 14 — Gariand 0 The Stallions earned a higher reputation in the Owl game by allowing less than 100 yards on defense and no points on the scoreboard. A miscue by Garland lead to a fumble recovery on their 17 yard line by Heath Bobo — three plays later Chris Youman scored on a one yard dive. The game was sealed with the Stallions taking advantage of another Owl mistake. Brad Davis intercepted a pass and returned it to the 36. After 10 plays Matt Stephens scored from one yard out. The Stallions had a good defensive effort against what had been a good offensive unit up to this game. NM 13 — Lakeview 9 Luck! — and Paul Teagle’s foot gave the Stallions their 6th victory of the season against the Patriots in what was areal barn burner.

The only touchdown scored was a one yard run by Matt Stephens. Comming up against the premier passer in the area, Bobby Watters, the Stallions managed to keep the Patriots out of the end zone with a game saving tackle at the three yard line as time ran out of the game. NM 21 — Garland 2 ‘It is harder to play a team that has lost 7 straight ball games,” said Coach Ken Barnes. “‘They have nothing to lose and everything to gain.” This was the case as NM managed only three touchdowns against the winless Raiders, while they managed to get on the scoreboard with a safety, ‘‘! worry about these situations,” said Gary Childers, ‘‘anything can happen.” NM 7 — HP 14 Imagine the Highlander Stadium packed beyond capacity as over 9,000 fans filled the stadium to witness the annual battle between the Highland Park Scots and the North Mesquite Stallions. Picture the band crowded with the Pacesetters performing the fight song beneath the goal posts, and the scene is set for the most exciting game yet, of the football season. The game opened with North Mesquite forcing Highland Park to play with everything they had. The Stallions played with an aggressive defense and a steady offense in the first half. NM quickly stopped the HP offense on three plays. After a 17-yard put by David Sweeney into the wind, the Stallions got the ball at the Scot’s 33-yard line. It took the Stallions 10 plays to score. Frank Mills ran five times on the drive for 18 yards. Quarterback Matt Stephens scored the touchdown on the fourth down from the 1-yard line to give North Mesquite a 7-0 lead at 6:06 of the first quarter. The Stallions again limited the Scots to just three plays on their next possession. Another short punt gave NM a first-and-ten at the Highland Park 39-yard line. HP got the ball back and drove 61-yards for the touchdown. HP got their second touchdown of the game on a 1-yard run with 2:29 to play to make the final score 14-7. NM 0 — Mesquite 0 So the season seemed to ride on the last 12 seconds of the Mesquite game; the last opportunity for a shot ata play-off. Early in the game, NM’s Frank Mills ran for nine yards to the 16, tying the penetrations 2-2. The Stallions ran a play in the middle of the field for a field goal. Paul Teagle’s 32-yard kick into a strong wind went wide left. At the end of the first quarter, Mills had a 44-yard run to the Skeeter 3, giving the Stallions their best chance at scoring. Three plays later, Quarterback Matt Stephens was stripped of the ball. The Stallions only real scoring opportunity in the game. ‘‘I turned to hand off to Frank and all of a sudden someone grabbed my leg. | couldn’t reach him,” said Matt. Late in the 4th quarter, the Stallion had a third-and-six at the Skeeter 28, but Matt Stephens was stopped a yard short on fourth-and-inches. “| though we had it won then,’’ Coach Childress said. “We had arush on.| don’t know who tackled him. it was a gang tackle.” The Skeeters had 12 first downs to NM’s 9 which proved to be the margin of victory, since both teams were tied at 2 penetration. The North Mesquite Stallions and the Mesquite Skeeter game summed up the entire football season; a strong defense and a weak offense. Sports 163 The Court Strategists “Anytime you beat the fifth and fourteenth team in the state — you’re playing intelligent basketball,”’ said Coach Ron Powell. These comments came following the game of the season — a 26 point thrashing over the Wilmer Hutchins Eagles and a late season two point victory over arch-rival, the South Garland Colonels. Two games, however, do not make a season, and for the Stallions, the season ended too abruptly. Just when the team felt that it was play-off bound, it was all over. The team played average bail in pre-district, posting victories over Roosevelt, Irving McArthur, Pinkston, and W.T. White. The standout game, however, was a loss. It came in the prestigious Arlington Classic Tournament; NM drew Houston Wheatly — the powerhouse team of Texas High School basketball. The Stallions played tough early in the game and throughout the third quarter, leading by 17 points! Then, as Coach Powell said, ““We forgot how to shoot layups.”” The game was lost on the last shot of the game. It didn’t matter. The game provided the team something that victories cannot always earn — confidence, an important ingredient in any competition. The team began to believe in itself. Any team with that kind of play can compete with any other team. And it did! As district play opened, the Stallions did not play well, only winning 4 of 7 games. The losses came from Wilmer, South Garland, and Highland Park. ‘“‘That loss to Highland Park cost us second place in district,” said senior post Jimmy Brown. ‘If we had beat them, we would have had only two losses at the end of the season compared to three for South Garland.” No Flight plan — Miles Haberer take one of the soft jumpers and all district, 1st team that earned him the high point honors for the season. The game was played against South garland. 164 Basketball matter — there was still time to earn a playoff birth. All the Stallions had to do was go undefeated in the second half of district play. That’s all! That meant victories over Wilmer and South Garland! No way! Both teams had defeated NM in the first round and the wins would be close and come hard, if at all. “You'll read about it in the morning paper — NM hands Wilmer Hutchins its first district loss,’’ shouted Tim Tafoya as he walked out of the gym the Friday afternoon of the game with the Eagles. Loss was one word — Slaughter was a better one! The Stallions plucked the Eagles and served them ona platter for their own home fans. ‘“‘We hit the floor and never looked back,”’ said one NM fan who made the trip to Wilmer Hutchins. The Eagles found themselves on the losing end of a 26 point game, 72-46! The Dallas Morning News termed the game the ‘upset of the basketball season.’ Special recognition goes to senior point guard Milton Crutchfield who kept Wilmer’s ace shooter, Ricky (avg. 16 pts. a game) Grace to just four points, scoring 13 himself. ‘‘l just kept my hands in his face and the ball out of his hands,” said Milton. Against South Garland, the game plan worked — patience, intelligent play, and opportunistic scoring. South Garland Coach Clayton Brooks complained that the Stallions passed too much, which makes for a boring game. RIGHT — boring for the lossers. When the buzzer sounded, the score was NM 41, SG 39. Timely foul shooting capped off the victory for the Stallions. The Stallions beat North Garland, Lakeview, and Highland Park to finish the second half of district — UNDEFEATED.

By halftime, however, NM closed to within seven points. The late offensive run of the Stallions began with sophomore Donnell Hayden’s two running jump shots. The lack of defensive play and pinpoint passing failed to give the Stallions the needed strong finish in the ame. Still, the game was not out of reach when the score stood at 41-33 with just under two minutes left in the game.

WACO — Coach Donna Capps and the girls basketball team know the way down U.S. Highway 77 to the central Texas city, where for the second consecutive year the team has made the trip to compete in the Regional play-offs. ‘“‘We like to take that trip,” said Coach Capps. After capturing post season victories over Spruce and Pinkston, gaining the Area Title, the team made its annual gallop down to Waco, to take on the nationally ranked Longview Lobos. Getting out of district 9AAAAA proved to be more of a task than expected. ‘“‘We struggled to get the Championship,” said assistant coach Phillis Reed. “If it hadn’t been for the forfeit from Wilmer Hutchins, the season could have turned out differently.” Early in the season, the Stallions looked play-off bound, posting predistrict wins over Lake Highlands, Plano, MacArthur, and Bishop Lynch. In fact the girls won 6 of the first 8 games! — a fast start — losing twice to the same team, Lewisville, a real power in the area. The Stallions lost the first district game to Garland. “‘Losing the district opener to a contender put the pressure on us,” said senior forward Kylynnedra Wilcotts. That loss was put aside and out of mind with a high scoring victory (66-54) over Wilmer Hutchins. As district play continued, and moved in the second half, it became obvious that the team to beat was the Eagles. The second game went to Wilmer in a barn-burner (52- 53). ‘‘We needed that victory,’’ commented Kristi Hearne. Later the game would be given to NM ina forfeit when the Eagles were caugNt playing an ineligible girl. But before this happened, the girls lost to the Skeeters (26-30) giving NM a9-3 district finish. Fate turned an ace to the team Basketball when Wilmer gave its victory over NM to them due to forfeit. The girls were declared district champs and matched with second place finisher of district 1OAAAAA Spruce for the Bi-district game. Two words described the Apaches — speed and points! These were the patented trademarks of a team that scored 80 points a game in getting to the play- offs. ‘This team can run you in the ground and score 80 points while doing it,’’ said Donna Capps. Sure — but they had not encountered a tough-minded defense. The girls showed that championships are won with defense. The Stallions shut down Spruce’s offense, holding them to 32 points, less than one half of what their fans expected. The best side was NM’s score — 34 points. The girls had posted an important victory over the 5th ranked team in the metroplex. “It was a game where the players were unselfish. Jill Achziger had 6 assists. Terri Porter and Janet Thomason had 6 rebounds each”’ said coach Capps. Thomason was high point scorer with 17 points. Laura Wycoff was excellent coming off the bench. Next stop — Pinkston. Directions to Waco: through Pinkston and around 6’3” April Delley. This game with Pinkston produced the unity needed to win. When Jill Achziger took over the point guard position, things began to happen. Kristi Hearne’s 16 points, Kylynnedra Wilcot’s 12 and Janet Thomason’s 10 were why the team had advanced thus far. It was not who scored so much as it was the even scoring of two or three players in each game. That made it hard to key NM’s offense.

We expected April Delley to do more. She only got 11 points.” A good offensive show helped — especially the 19 free throws that was the difference in the game. Then it finally happened — a match with the nationally ranked Longview Lobos. The Lobos had won 94 of 96 games during a two year period. Some record! A slow start found the girls trailing 12-2 at the end of the first quarter. But by half time NM had closed in within 4 points., 15-11. “We were pushed around too much,” said Coach Capps. ‘“‘Janet Thomason was cut on the “They didn't scare us!” — Donna Capps face. The officiating stunk!”’ These were rare comments from a coach that seldom has much to say about the men in stripes. Since the girls had depended all season ona finesse offense, the lack of foul shooting took its toll. Overall the performance of the girls was good. They held the Lobos to their lowest scoring Output of the season and to the smallest point spread against all the teams they had played. ‘‘We were ahead in the game for 37 seconds,’’ commended Coach Capps, “‘They didn’t scare us!”’ Jump Ball — Jill Achziger Two for the Hoop — kristi What’s the score — Jill reaches for the tip-off in the Raider Hearne goes for two points in the Achzizer blocks out a Pinkston game.

Press Just as the varsity had its 2nd district championship season, so did the Junior Varsity. Coach Phillis Reed took a look at the district board (11-1) and said, ‘‘One point cost us a perfect district record of 12-0. It seems that Wilmer Hutchins gives the NM teams their greatest competition.” (The first game with Wilmer was 49-48) Still, as champs, the team credits its tenacious press in most of the victories. This was especially notable since at times the injuries caused the J.V. to have only two subs ready to heip in case of foul trouble. The team showed character and poise on the court no matter who it was up against. Coach Reed gained much respect for the girls on the team saying that everyone understood and played their roles. ‘“Sometimes its tough for young players to know their contributions in the total picture. That causes problems in team unity. But it did not happen to the J.V. girls,’’ said Coach Reed. A major ingredient, however, was the leadership that Debbie Prater and Marla Wycoff provided, on and off the court. ‘‘Leadership isa main quality for a player to have... that’s why we were district champs,”’ said Debbie. “This group has the potential to develop into an exceptional basketball team,” said freshmen girls coach Weldon Swann. ‘‘They will help coach Reed next year on J.V.” With emphasis on basic skills for basketball, the freshmen girls got better each game.

Girls Basketball 175 176 Volleyball Spike Fever The North Mesquite volleyball team began its season with a winning attitude, seizing its first seven games. Kellie Beathe, along with Carece Carter led the Stallion team by showing the opponents how to play volleyball. Their first loss of the season was to L. D.

Senior, game. If the Netters had any chance of once again winning the district title, their chance was shattered by Mesquite as NM fell, 7-15, 11-15. Kristy Williams, junior, remarked “‘l was mad when we lost to Mesquite because that was the game that could have let us have first place in the district instead of second.” But showing their true colors, the varsity girls didn’t stop trying as they beat rivals Highland Park, 15-8, 15-8, and Wilmer Hutchins, 15-6, 15-12. The Stallions ended ‘When we really want something, we can usually pull together and do it.”’ — Kellie Beathe Kellie Beathe said, ‘“‘The South Garland game was tough, and | feel we did our best at the time. We started the season with a lot of confidence — maybe too much. That might have been what hurt us when we played South Garland.” . But the girls weren’t about to give up. With last year’s district title still gleaming in their memories, the Stallion girls were determined to do it again. They came back fast and mean, taking with them victories against their next five district opponents. After a fighting loss against South Garland, the Stallions just took it in stride by overcoming Wilmer Hutchins, North Garland, Lakeview, and Garland. Then came the Mesquite their season with a well- earned second place in the district. Coach Debbie Deaton commented, ‘I was dissappointed with our district play this year. After having a super season last year, | was hoping we could earn another district title.” District honors went to: Kellie Beathe (All District, 2nd Team All-Metro), Carece Carter (2nd Team All District), Kristal Vaughn (Honorable Mention), Bobbie Morris (Honorable Mention). The JV team also did well by winning the district title. Coach Deaton said, ‘‘The JV season was a special surprise. They have won more games than any other JV team and will contribute a great deal to the 1984 varsity team.” JV District Record 12-2 | South Garland _.

Many times if one was passing by the practice field, a person would see a group of hard-working guys, all bundled up, chasing a spotted ball.

A Perfect Season A perfect season. And that’s exactly what it was. The boys’ J.V. soccer team won twelve straight games with no losses or tie games. People might think that this team had some kind of ‘force’ on its side, having only six goals scored against them throughout the entire season. That force turned out to be teamwork and lots of practice. This group of young men gave one hundred percent to each other during every game, and it sure paid off. Junior, Mark Kitts commented, ‘‘We played like a team. Coach Bragg didn’t Bragg said that the team was really performing poorly on the night they played South Garland.

In the next nine games, the Stallions shamed the opposing teams. NM blazed by Lakeview in the first district game. Highland Park also fell victim to NM’s winning ways, 4-1.

After their encouraging third place win at Keller, the following three meets proved to be somewhat disappointing for the boys track team. A forty-four point total at Mesquite left the team in seventh place. At the Adamson meet, the team experienced the low point of their season, scoring twenty-three points for a ninth place finish.

No NM totals had yet been posted. Just then the door opened and in came Chris Dosier. “Coach, | gassed it — | had an 89 in this wind,”’ he said. Coach Tabor continued to study the scorecard. ‘‘That’s fine, Chris; turn in your card.”’ One in — four more to be recorded. The last golfers wandered in and the first round totals were put up: Trevor Riley — 78; Matt Holcombe — 79; Miles Haberer — 80; Chris Dosier — 89; Marc Fergason — 92. ‘‘Coach I gassed it —- | had an 89 in this wind.”’ Chris Dosier The first round found the NM golfers 2 strokes behind Mesquite High. The 25-35 mph. winds played a big role in keeping the golfers from having good rounds. ‘‘We hit high balls — that’s a disadvantage in the wind. It may carry a ball 30 yards to the side — in the rough,”’ said Coach Tabor. Those golfers that hit line drives can get through the wind with lower scores. In the second round, the wind stopped and the NM golfers took charge. Trevor Riley came in with a 78; Miles Haberer, an 84; Chris Dosier, an 82; Marc Fergason, an 87; and Matt Holcombe, who picked up 7 strokes on Mesquite, (continued on page 200) 198 Golf _ Matt Holcombe gave the golf team _ what it needed — Strong, consistent _ performance.

A one stroke victory — pretty good for a team that at the outside hoped to finish third with only two returning starters. The district championship was a surprise, considering how the team fared earlier. The best it placed was third in the Highland Park Fall Invitational with a score of 652. The worst finish was eighth in the South Garland Invitational and eighth in the Plano Invitational. The team improved with the addition of junior Miles Haberer and two freshmen, Marc Fergason and Chris Dosier. Trevor Riley always shot a solid round. “We would like to have won district by more than a stroke — but we’ll take it,’’ said Coach Tabor. Advancing to the regionals, the four golfers were proud to be the challenger. The best golfers from the area compete at the regional tournament, where NM placed 15th.

Throughout the school year, these dedicated swimmers get up before dawn in order to get in the practice needed to be the excellent team it has turned out to be. Besides swimming, lifting weights and running are a big part of their training.

The team started off its winning season by defeating both Garland and North Garland at Holford Pool. The team’s first loss was to Bryan Adams at the White Rock Pool. Several team members felt that this loss didn’t hurt them at all. This particular loss made them realize their strengths and weaknesses. More importantly, it pointed out the work needed to win future meets. The swimmers then took part in the SMU Relays where they ranked eleventh place out of twenty-nine teams. They then traveled to the Lewisville Invitational Meet where they placed eighth out of twenty teams. Both meets were good showings of how the team can work together. The team then went ona winning streak, taking with them victories against South Garland, Sherman, Lewisville, and Skyline.

According to Shaun, the team was working harder together and pushing one another to top performance. ‘Winning second place in district was a great achievement. It took the cooperation of each and every member of the team. Our team worked together and each swimmer gave 110%.”’ Team members who contributed greatly to the positive attitude of the team were Kevin Gray (captain), Janet Bryant (captain), Sharun McQuistion, Shelly Bannister, and the new coach, Julie Wallace. “Being my first year with the swim team, | was very pleased with a second place in District and our twenty swimmers who advanced to regionals,”’ said Coach Wallace. Sports 203 . ne ea ee ee ef of Success Although it is usually labelled as a “‘minor sport,” tennis plays a sizeable role in the winning tradition that is a part of North Mesquite. Mutual team support is a major factor in the success of the tennis team. In the Fall tournament, the twenty-eight member team finished in second place, topped only by long-time rival Highland Park. In Spring competition, the girls tennis team took a very satisfactory second place behind the Scotties while the boys team finished in third place.

She also kept a scrapbook of Stallion Battalion activities for the year. A stuffed orangutan named ‘‘Bubba”’ was given to DeLeigh by the Stallion Batallion and served as the group’s own mascot. Possibly, the highlight of DeLeigh’s experience as Stallion Battalion Sweetheart was Homecoming on October 7, 1983. “Homecoming was great! The guys and Mr. Daniels, sponsor, bought me a great mum, beautiful roses, a satin pillow, and a little doll | had seen and told Mr. Daniels | liked. | loved it!

What had five-hundred feet, is red, white, and blue and sounds like thunder? If you attended one of the North Mesquite footbail games, this question would easily be answered at halftime: the Big Blue Marching Band. Amidst the band, there are groups of students that play an important part in the band. The drum majors, Craig Murphy, Mark Mullino, and Cathy Oper, direct the band. At times, this means running across the field and through the band in order to keep tempo and time. The band officers also play an important role. The president, Diana Linker, often gave ‘“‘pep speeches’”’ to keep the band on its toes during the four hour practices. The officers also i High Key Pe rformance provided spirit and kept the band going when it seemed almost impossible. Another important section was the majorettes. Being the most flexible, they were most often subject to change, sometimes being placed in the most unusual positions to be able to be seen among the moving formations. The final touch was added by the Flag Corps, under the direction of Ricky Davis. The flags add asense of continuity and definition to the band, bringing out the colors of the band uniforms in the banners.

The tubas were set, flags in place, and majorettes posed. The Big Blue was about to set an image for themselves to last the whole year. Last year’s achievements, never thought to be surpassed, soon faded to bring in new goals and dreams. The new goals were set early in August with grueling practices in hundred degree weather. The band met at 8:00 in the morning and practiced playing and marching until 11:30 in the afternoon. The Flag Corps, however, met at 7:30, sometimes 7:00, and practiced until 11:30, often having evening reherasals. The dream had begun, Parade of Champions was the vision. When school started, the band rehearsed at 7:00 in the morning at Poteet High School parking lot. This meant you strained your eyes looking for the yard marks on the pavement. After the satisfaction of knowing that they had done their best, receiving 2nd place, came the most important marching contest of the year; UIL Marching Contest. The Big Blue relaxed for a couple of days, then resumed the busy schedules A thrilling experience — Leah Posey performs the fight song at the North Garland pep rally. of before and after school rehearsals to prepare for this contest. The band received a 1, superior rating. As the end of marching season came, new goals and dreams were set among individuals for UIL contest. The band divided into three separate bands.

NM was represented in the TMEA All-State Choir by two Chorale members, Cathy Tucker and Mark Muilino. A new activity for Chorale was the Winter Festival in January. This was a variation of the annual Christmas concert with the combined Chorales from NM and MHS. For the first time, the Chorale from West Mesquite took part in this event. Chorale President Todd Thompson felt that his job was very enjoyable. Among his responsibilities were planning parties, picnics, and other social activities. His most important role was to keep Chorale working together. He commented, “Though we are a fine performing group, we can always get better. There are many types of people in Chorale, but we generally have a lot of fun.”’ The sixteen members of Unity, a select group of Chorale students, also brought recognition to NM. As well as the various school concerts, Unity performed its annual Christmas concert at Town East Mall. As in any group, there was room for improvement. Anthony Rizzotto stated, ‘‘Attitudes could always be better. It just takes a great will to be the best you can be.”’ Chorale: Sheila Allen, Neely Boyd, David Burkhart, Sharon Carter, Brian Calmes, Roger Cave, Steve Colwill, Chris Coursey, Michelle Davidson, Robert Doleshal, Tami Dooley, Ginny Dunn, Cheri Edmundson, Eric Frichette, Will Hall, Mimi Hendrix, Deanna Hipp, Regina Hopkins, Robin Hosek, John Hunstable, Helen Janecka, Paul Janecka, Troy Jordon, Ray Kamps, Laura Kauffman, Jo Anna Kirkland, Craig Kuykenclall, Scott Loudder, Scott Magee, Pricilla Martin, Charlies Mayne, John McDaniel, Eryn McSpadden, Brad Merritt, Lisa Moore, Cheryl Morris, Mark Mullino, Bonnie Perkins, Donna Person, Leah Posey, Paul Prevence, Mindy Renner, Anthony Rizzotto, Russell Rotenberry, Jamie Shipman, Kirk Sipes, Kelly Smith, Karen Stachowiak, Todd Thompson, Krysla Threlkeld, David Tolbert, Cathy Tucker, Stephanie Wade, Deane Wagner, Wesley Wills. Organizations Learning Experience “Wanted: Good students with singing ability. Apprenticeship position.” This could be an advertisement for North Mesquite’s Concert and A Capella choirs. Membership in one of these groups serves as an apprenticeship in moving into Chorale. For all purposes, it is a learning experience. The Concert choir was made up of forty-two eager young ladies. The Concert Choir performed three concerts: the Fall concert in October, the Christmas concert in December, and the Spring concert in May. They also participated in two contests: UIL Solo and Ensemble in March, and VIL Concert and Sightreading in April. The A Capella Choir, made up of thirty young people, shared the concert stage 1983-84 Concert Choir Officers: Seated, Wendy Threlkeld, Carrie Bruce, DeAndrea Allsup.

Although the honors were deserved, there was always room for improvement. Sophomore Kim Russell commented, ‘“‘I felt that we would improve greatly if everyone took choir more seriously. Some people are in choir just for a ‘blow- off’ period. Mr. Council tries to motivate us to work harder. When we're having a really sorry day, he gives us lectures like ‘You’ll thank me later for making you practice sightreading.’ Things like that make us work harder just to prove to him that we can.”’ Opera anyone?

Organizations VIS Na WO GEG MTNTE TTS Gna RET Cpstaging Them All The statement, ‘‘Theater is a lifetime sport’ properly applied to the busy schedule of the drama department. Sponsored by Mrs. Renee Clark, who teaches Drama, the drama department participated in five shows. Three of the productions were one-act plays. The first production was “The Restaurant,” which students perforrned for the Children’s Theater at the NM auditorium on April 4 and 6. They were titled “‘Revenge of the Space Pandas”’ and “Quest for Young Arthur,” respectively. ‘To prepare for a one-act play, it took about four weeks; but for the two big productions, it took at least six weeks to put the show on stage,”’ stated Mrs. Clark. The two big plays Mrs. Clark referred to are ‘“‘You Can’t Take It with You,”’ which was presented in the fall and “‘Li’l Abner,”’ which was performed in the spring. “You Can’t Take It With You”’ was the comedy drama that dealt with the romance of two people with the same views On life but who came from two very different families. The leading roles were played by Seniors Kristine McAda and Mike Davis. With the rehearsals more concentrated on the dialogue in the fall play, the dancing, acting, and singing were carefully rehearsed for Off to the races — The whole cast of ‘‘Li’l| Abner’’ assemble for the the spring production of the musical, “‘Li’l Abner.” Set in the hillbilly town of Dogpatch, “‘Li’l Abner” was the story of musDaisy Mae’s attempts to marry Li’l Abner during the festivals of Sadie Hawkin’s Day. After a lengthy open audition, the lead roles went to Senior Mark Mullino and Laura Kauffman.

Break a Leg Among the crowd at North Mesquite, lies a group of amorous students that has “it.” “It” refers to that special ability to express themselves more uniquely than others. “It” refers to that special ‘““something’’ that dwell among the Thespians. Thespians is an international organization that consists of elite students who show an outstanding talent in the drama field. To be a Thespian, a student must earn points to qualify for amembership. The points can be earned through performance and by working in the technical fields of theater; this includes make-up, wardrobe, and props. Headed by its sponsor, Mrs. Renee Clark, and its officers, Seniors Todd Boatwright, Mike Davis, Pennie Arthur, and Lana Browning, the Thespians attended the Texas State Thespians Convention in Garland during the first weekend of December. At the convention were various Thespian groups from other Faithfully yours — Mike Davis and Kristene McAda stare into each others eyes. high schools. Each group performed a one-act play; - the NM Thespians performed “The Restaurant.”’ During the performances, judges picked out individuals whose acting abilities ‘‘stood-out”’ from the others. The ones who were chosen were named in an ‘‘All-Star Cast.”’ Senior Mike Davis, a fourth year drama student, was given that honor. Junior Amy Weatherby, a third year drama student, received an honorable mention. To round up the year, the Thespians held a banquet at Andrew’s on May 1. At the banquet, Mrs. Clark presided by handing out awards to individual students. The Senior members then took to the floor by announcing their last will and testaments to the Juniors, who in turn had their chance to honor and predict the future of each Senior member. At the highlight of the program was the announcement of next year’s Thespian officers. Mrs. Clark concludes, “Being a Thespian is a big deal and we become a close-knit family!” Allin the family — Members from the cast of ‘‘You Can’t Take It With You” perform Hollywood-style.

Organizations } 234 ROTC Determination, learning, and skills are needed in ROTC. This program is designed for students to learn how to read maps, first aid, learning to take on responsibility, becoming a leader, and how to use these skills after graduation. The most important skill taught in ROTC is the self-discipline. lf acadet was questioned to why he had joined ROTC most likely his her answer would be to get out of taking P.E. Stacy Green, senior, admitted, ‘‘The reason | first joined ROTC as a freshman was to get out of P.E. | Save the walls — Enjoying the interest of the army tank, the cadets also have fun.

War Games realized that what they were teaching applies in everyday life as well as in military.”’ The first two years of ROTC goes toward the two P.E. credits needed for graduation. If finished, junior and senior years a credit each year is received like a regular class. ROTC has many ranks and responsibilities. First a cadet would rank as a Squad Leader who has the responsibility of his squad. When promoted, he would then go to Platoon Leader who is put in charge of a class and responsible for the FRIE activities of everyone in his class. The next rank would be a Platoon Sergeant who is put directly in charge of the Squad Leaders. Moving up the list of rankings are Company 1st Sergeant, Battalion Sergeant Major, Battalion Executive Officer with Battalion Commander at the top who is in charge of all decisions for the operation of the battalion and inspects the work of the staff officers. cont.

There are two groups of NM students, however, that have pet projects of their own, although theirs are of a different nature. The Student Council is made up of thirty-six select students. The main function of the Student Council is to represent the student body. it is also responsible for promoting pride in all school activities, promoting high standards of conduct, and promoting good relationships between the administration and the student body. The Student Council’s pet projects are numerous: They are responsible for presenting a slide-show Do you feel like | do? — Youth Advisory Council sponsor Doris Wood expresses her innermost feelings at having to be present at an early morning meeting.

The yearbook staff was responsible for making memories last. Those memories were recorded in the yearbook so that they will be just as memorable in twenty or thirty years as they were in 1984. The yearbook staff as a whole made its own memories as well. Some of the most vivid memories were the many trips to Farrell’s to celebrate the meeting of a deadline, the masses of food consumed at Chili’s, the Girl Scout cookies and “‘cleaning off’”’ Mr. Ron Taylor’s desk.

Otherwise, those students interested in teaching would be denied a valuable experience.” The Whiz Quiz team, co- sponsored by Ms. Karen Allen and Ms. Cora Dugan, was formed for the purpose of providing academic challenge and competition for interested students. In its first year, Whiz Quiz team members Scott Loudder, Daniel Macey, Bryan Graham, and Wesely Wills averaged 388 points per game, arecord for a rookie team. Scott Loudder, NM’s team captain, was named to the Dallas All Star team, which defeated the Fort Worth team for the first time in several years. Whiz Quiz proved that NM is a superior school. Ms. Allen stated, “Even though we are a small group, we reflect academic achievment here at NMHS. It gives a chance for the intellectually talented students to shine.” The Aerospace and Aviaton Club, sponsored by Ms. Glenda Pinkston, was formed to allow students to continue their studies concerning the subject of aviation. Some of their activities include guest speakers, field trips to local airports, the Johnson Space Center, and NASA, and a flight to Ennis during May Fest.

Winning Streak Our school was ready to go throughout the year. The Symphony Orchestra continued its influence by earning the Outstanding Orchestra Award at the Southwest Band Festival in Galveston, where only the top orchestras in Texas competed. ‘‘Hearing the North Mesquite Honor Orchestra play was a great way to end an already terrific day,”’ commented one of the judges. The Orchestra continued its winning streak by earning one of only three Sweepstakes at UIL competition. The Weightlifting Team gained second place at a state meet in April and continued the state championship trend started by the Orchestra, while the Varsity Baseball Team easily captured the District Championship. The winning streak which began early in the year easily extended throughout the whole year, not ending until May.

The school began to remember a homecoming from months ago as students saw all the many flowers bloom in the spring. The seniors began trading name cards and mailing graduation announcements, while the underclassmen looked forward to another summer vacation. But the slight sadness over leaving school was balanced by a satisfaction: This year was one of the best ever. We had done more than set an enroliment record, because all 2,500 students were ready to go. ) | | . joo 2050 OE AI AEE ATT Closing 319 i HIME TO A HOWE! Qut of ail my experiences at North Mesquite, being Editor of the Trailblazer will always be my favorite, because of all the crazy things I’ve gotten to do in these last two years, Being Editor was a backbreaking job, and I’m glad all the work is over, but ’m going to miss all the trips to Farrell’s, the impromptu ‘meetings’ at Burger King and McDonald’s with Leanne and Debbie, and all the trips to Six Flags, Chili's, Poncho’s, Coco’s,and the thousand other places |’ve been with the staff. I'll never forget the time Maria, Leanne, Leslie, and | went to Chili's after Solo Ensemble and practically bought one of everything on the menu! And 320 Linda's Page then we drove through the car wash five hundred times just so we could each get our car washed! Yearbook staff introduced me to Chili's, and talking my way out of anything from getting caught in the hall without a pass, to how we managed to spend $180 on food in barely 24 hours! (Remernber Denton, Debbie and Leanne?) The deadlines and proofs were compensated for by the many experiences I’ve had in just two years, and finally getting the finished product which is a work of art without quesiton. But | would never have been Editor, or had so much fun by myself, so I'd like to thank: Melissa, Cindy, and Maria, because the book wouldn’t be a success without their hard work and dedication; Glenn, because he was a great staff photographer; Edward, just because he’s such a great guy; Sherry, because she was willing to work, but would rather goof off instead; Debbie, (WHAT A FOX!!) because she was willing to smile, even if she was a little down herself; Leanne, who always showed her feelings instead of letting them fester inside; Leslie, because she is the funniest person I’ve ever known, and will make a GREAT Pacesetter Captain; Paul, | could do tobi fl Kari, because she and Paul | so GREAT ie aed because he took us anywhere we wanted to go f and never complained; Bruce, because he’s the on sailor I’ve ever known; Charlie M., because he likes my chocolate-chip cookies and Mr. Taylor (I don’t knov v why, but he'll say I’m rude i don’t put him in here somewhere) because hep DI up with me.
