Change seemed to be the predominate word used around the P$JA campus this year. But it was a change for the better. Everywhere you looked things were shaping up. but there were a few changes we had to adjust to. One of these changes, and perhaps the biggest, was the no-more-junk-food-and-carbonated-drinks change. Due to a federal government regulation put into effect over the summer, all those things that were bad for us were no longer around. Most students had to find other ways to revive themselves in the middle of the day. More about this can be read on pages 10-11. After several years on a quarterly system. we switched back to a semester system. And. despite the readjustment, teachers kept the year running smoothly as progress reports and not failing notices were the item most dreaded. Spirit was one big factor that really shaped up this year. Despite a mediocre football season, fans still did their best yelling and screaming at pep rallies every Friday. Student Council provided us with a variety of ways to show it by organizing Spirit Days ranging from Happy Days, fifties style, to Punk Rock Day. And the bonfire was as popular as ever. But this was the last year for the favorite spot of the fire behind the baseball field as it will be the baseball field next year. The campus itself began to shape up with construction underway of not only the new field, but a new gym and band facility. Philosophers say change is for the best and in our case, it couldn't be better. PSJA—Shaping up in '81. EATURE ACTIONS SOPHS, Sophomores this year stand up and take a bow; if not for the accomplishments then for effort. This year's class of '83 started a unified effort to get the Belle and Beau rolling by staging a variety of fund raising projects. This was done to restore a tradition that was not held last year due to lack of interest and funds. The class sold candy and had a concession stand at home basketball games to raise the needed money. They seemed to pull it all together to make for a hardworking class full of school spirit. a) Frances Martinez. let , and Ronnie Martinez show their c hoe deeding spirit by dressing up for Punk Rock Day. b) Joe Palacios gets over the shock of that last test as a fellow classmate looks on. c) letty Salinas strikes a pose. Probably the class at PSJA that has taken the most ribbing from its fellow classes has been the Junior Class. They have tried to overcome last year's slump, and so far have well surpassed their past apathy. The Junior Class, sponsored this year’s Junior-Senior prom with the money they partly raised by the sweat off their brow working in the home football games' concession stands. If the current trend continues, next year might not be all that bad. a) Disco Loo Lope? chocks out tho lunch line ac ioo. b) Everyone in A lunch cen t behove Ronnie Seem on Punk Dey. c) Herman Trevino blends into the background in a cm % 4) Glendy The Kid Ramirex knows the Son.or way of life. but she's not teiinq. b) Cheerleaders Sandy Vacchio and Sandra Ramirai qet PSJA ready for the PSJA-McHi clash. c) Tarasa Rayas.

Keep yosir aye on the birdie. Well it finally happened—the last freshman class to attend good ole PSJA is graduating. It's hard to believe that the class of '81 will soon be history. After all it was only four years ago that we came here full of energy, spunlt. and childish wit. and now there we are. SENIORS full of the same old stuff, only heightened by SENIORITIS . This year's graduating class has earned its lumps, we were belittled our sophomore year by one of the toughest graduating classes to pass this way in a long time. Remember: Becky Leibowitz. Tracy Bishop. Roxanne Carter, Johnny Barboza and Laura Serna, but through allthose put downs, set backs, and humiliations we kept face and laughed right along with them, knowing that our own revenge was only two years away. Well those two years sped by a little too quickly, and here we are trying our best not to hurt any sophomore's feelings because they can't take it. Well one final word to the classes that we leave behind: Good riddance! Y es Up With Ghanges Ji Gam pus Here at PSJA. we maintain a certain type of school policy which at times may be altered or amended according to the decisions the school board of directors choose to make. Obviously, this year we were hit with several drastic changes in our new'' policy. The abolishment of Coca-Cola is one that hit us the hardest. Under the new USDA law. carbonated drinks were not to be sold and Hi-C and orange juice were to take its place. That sure was a big blow to us Coke addicts. We also had a new recording system. With this system we used semesters, not the usual three quarters. On top of that, smokers were not allowed to satisfy their nicotine fits in the smoking area between classes. This was so there wouldn't be as many tardies as last year. Another long time regulation that had been recently seen in effect was the restriction of radios and cassette players. Many students tended to bring their music to listen to during their lunch hour, but only ended up having it taken away by one of the principals when reported by one of the security guards. This brought up another change—our new security guards happen to be Deputy Constables. Those people were the ones who helped enforce our rules and made sure we abided by them to make PSJA a safer and more efficient school. a) Randy Ysaguirre says Th y can't toko my music away. I'm on a mission from God. b) Coke and junk food seemed to havo fizzled Out of Our lunch picfura: now it's 100% Vitamin C with Hi-C. c) The security guard studios up on his Violation Coda Book. d) Our new 1980-81 semester raport card. e) Smokers gather around the smoking area to talk with their friends and have a morning smoke.

IT i$ YOUR RECORD If you don't like the weather in Texas, lust wait five minutes and it will change so goos the saying and there was o lot of truth in it for Valleyitos this year. Everything from a drought to Hurricane Alien shed its wrath upon us this year. The summer turned out to bo one of • tcka s the hottest in decades. Lakes and ponds dried up. grass died and the sun sizzled upon our heads endlessly. Many crops in the area were destroyed because of the lack of rain. Very few raindrops fell until August 9. That's when Hurricane Ailen knocked on our doors. Billed as one of the worst hurricanes of the century wo quickly boarded up windows and sandbagged doors, stocked up canned goods and water and prepared for the worst. Many even left town for safer ground. This mass evacuotion saved thousands of lives. However. Allen proved to be not quite as bod as first thought. As it neared the Brownsville coast, it stalled and weakened as peak gusts recorded there were 78 mph. Land fall wos over the south end of South Padre Island ond 95% of the Valley escaped the most severe portion of the storm—the northeast quadrant. The hardest hit area was in and around Port Mansfield. And those of us at school will never forget the endless rains of the fall. What teacher could forget walking into any room in E. M. K or G building only to see garbage bags directing a steady stream of water into their trash cans. All in all. it was a year of contrast. But if you don’t like the rain, just wait five minutes and the sun will come out. al A common � gkt was a lanitor swooping up tna ma r in tka halls, b) Hallways war always floodad wkan tka ram fa c) Trask cans provod useful in more wavs than one Sylvia Quintanilla Homecoming Queen 1980-81 Among dll the activities that took place during Homecoming Week, the most important one was the electing of a new Homecoming Queen. Assemblies for each of the classes were held to introduce the ten young ladies nominated. Later all students receivod a chance to vote for the young lady of their choice. Friday came and the girls found themselves on the center of the field, as undoubtedly all the attention centered on them. Moments later Miss Sylvia Quintanilla was announced as the new Homecoming Queen for 1980-81. a Min Sylvia Quintanilla, Homecoming Queen 1980-81. bi Homoconrrg nominees aro Sylvia Quintanilla, Charlotte Jackson.

Republican. became the United States' 40th president by defeating incumbent President Jimmy Carter by a landslide. Although many Democrats believed Carter could defeat Reagan, it was known that a number of undecided toss up states would contribute greatly to the outcome. This did happen as Reagan ran away with the election by an overwhelming 51 percent to Carter's 41 percent at the polls and took 483 electoral votes to Carter's 49. The immense victory displayed by the GOP in elections nationwide was not the only thing to shock the country. The Republican party, after years of struggling had taken control of the Senate by picking up eleven seats. This was the first time in 26 years Republicans had gained control. And yet. another shock hit as liberal after liberal fell under the New Right attack. Democrats George McGovern. Frank Church and Warren Magnuson all fell to their conservative rivals. The election also brought in a lot of heavy campaigning consisting of hardhitting television commercials, some with celebrities, scores of campaign speeches and a televised debate between Carter and Reagan. Although there were two other candidates for president, lack of money kept them off the trail more than on it. John Anderson, formerly Republican but turned Independent, and Ed Clark, Libertarian candidate, tried their best to sway votes, but to no avail. a) President-elect Ronald Reagan shortly aftar arriving at Burbank Airport, (photo courtesy of Wide World Photos) b) Republicans ware too strong for incumbent president Jimmy Carter. c) Republican campaign literature. d) Although this button was popular, it wasn't enough to get J. R. to run. For A Responsible America Tomorrow Re-Elect President Carter Vice President Mondale On the local level, the Democrats swept all races in Hidalgo County. A record 59 percent of all registered voters turned out for the election. President Carter carried the county with 56 percent of the vote to 42 percent for Reagan. Clark and Anderson shared the other 2 percent. Kike de la Garza won re-election to the 15th Congressional District against Republican Lendy McDonald. Brig Mar-molejo. incumbent sheriff, also won a second term by a big margin over Republican George Cuevas. In the race for State Representative. District 59-A. Juan J. Hinojosa defeated his Republican challenger Joe Summers with 58 percent of the vote. In other races. Democrats Don Lee. State Representative District 51 and Norberto Salinas. Precinct 3 County Commissioner, won their elections. Voters statewide also approved nine proposed Constitutional amendments by voting for such items as bank teller machines being located at different areas in a city and bingo games. While the stunning victory achieved by Reagan was the hottest upset, students at PSJA will long remember it as the election that could and probably will change the nation. At 70. Reagan will be the oldest president to ever take office, the first divorced president, the first professional actor and the only candidate to switch political allegiance and win the presidency. A year of changes, not only for our school, but for our nation. A s t h,ef W o.rrl|d tturns And now the saga of the Americans held hostage in Iran, since Nov. 4 1979. continues. As we return to this sad sequel we see our defenseless, co-patriots still barbarously held in the American Embassy in Tehran. Iran. The Ayatollah Khomoini is still the leader of Iran's theocracy which has led the floundering country into economic distress, civil unrest, and a border war with neigh boring oil magnate Iraq. The Ayatollah has become a recluse, but none the less still runs the country with art iron fist and a Koran clenched tightly in the other. Sadegh Ghotbzadeh the head of National Iranian Radio and Television has been in and out of jail for seditious libel, and Bani-Sadr. the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Finance, has been kept on his toes avoiding missiles from neighboring Iraq. Meanwhile back in the U.S. of A. the election of 1980 had some surprising results. Ronald Reagan, perennial Presidential candidate, whose conservative views were roughly criticized was the surprise victor. Not only did he receive a large majority of the popular vote, he also managed to rustle up a whopping 474 electoral votes, to Carter's paltry 58. The icing on the conservative cake is the startling failure of reelection of several powerhouse liberal congressmen (Birch Bayh. Robert Magnusen. Frank Church. George McGovern ...). (Continued on next page.) %Ml t;Ujrrij,s. All this may have been, in part, a result of Carter s failure to deal quickly with the Iranian situation. All said and done, only the future holds the answer to this crime against America a) Hermitage.

That word brought to mind everything from flowery lyrics to the mind-bogging sounds of heavy metal rock. And it played a large part in the lives of PSJA students. As indicated below in the Second Annual Music Poll, the trend in musical tastes moved from the repetitive beat of the disco craze to heavier rock'n'roll and kicker sounds courtesy of the hit movte Urban Cowboy. • Musical tastes were not only reflected in sounds but in room decoration as well. Most students collected posters of their favorite musicians and displayed these in their rooms. While posters may come cheap, records and concert tickets did not this year. Inflation hit the music lover hard in the pocket book this year. Fewer students attended concerts as enthusiasm dwindled while ticket prices rose. Also fewer artists came within traveling distance of Valley concert-goers. Students also tended to be more choosey in their selection of record albums due to high costs as the music industry suffered its worst year ever. The recent tape-it-your- a) Tha blockbusting concart of rha year. Judas Pfi-•st. attracted many student fans. b) Another comeback was the revision of Deep Purple. c) Virions was a new hit at the Villarreal. d) Glen Tipton of Judas Priest jams down. self craze added to dwindling record sales. The production of higher quality tapes at a cost of $3 to $5 caused many to tape albums rather than spend $8.98 for their own. Although prices rose so did interest in music as PSJA students can well attest to. Music Poll Albums Singles 1. Urban Cowboy—Soundtrack 1. Love. Look What You've Done to Me—Boz Scaggs 2.

Though PSJA students ere known to be crazy in their actions, they are certainly not crazy in their styles. PSJA definitely has its share of snappy dressers and swell lookers which can be seen around campus. Wearing stylish fashions seems to be an everyday routine for some at PSJA. One of the most common styles is obviously the Hawaiian look. Along with the traditional Hawaiian shirts comes the new look in Hawaiian dresses. Hawaiian shorts, and Hawaiian beachwear. All these add a little pizzazz to the summertime look. Thanks to the hit movie Urban Cowboy wearing denim jeans, kicker boots. winter rolled in. thick sweaters, pleated skirts, knee-length coats, all accented with high fashion boots, were commonly seen around campus. To enhance the appearance of all these styles, new expressions in hairstyles such as French braids and frizzy hair have stepped in. As you can see. PSJA students have a taste for fashion and originality, both of which bring out the lifestyles at PSJA. I Volleyball Highlights Fall Sports Sports continues to be one of the major highlights at PSJA as our varsity and junior varsity volleyball teams brought home excellent records this year. The varsity volleyball team took second in district after a tough play-off game with Brownsville Hanna November 4. The Lady Bears won the second half of district competition and landed in the play-offs against the Eagles, first half champs. The team went into the game full of enthusiasm and ready to win. which they did in the first game. 14-12. However. Hanna bounced back to take the next two and the district crown. 15-10 and 15-5. The junior varsity also performed well during the season coming away with the district title with an overall district record of 14-4 and a season record of 23-7. Volleyball member Carmen Hernandez was selected to the All-Valley and All-District Teams this year. Others selected for All-District Teams were Cindy Munoz and Lupita Fonseca. Football also played a big part in the fans' lives this year despite a mediocre 5-5 season. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the season came after the last game when athletic director and head coach Julio Ayala announced his resignation. After six years as the Boars head man. and one district co-championship, the coach, and former PSJA football great himself, hung up his cleats to go into private business. Bear spirit never died during the long football season as loyal fans continued to see their team win against Donna. Corpus Christi Ray. Brownsville Porter. Edinburg and Mission. Losses were to San Benito. Weslaco. Brownsville Hanna. McAllen and Harlingen. Bear basketball also got off to a slow start but picked up speed later in the season for both the boys and girls teams. A further report on these and spring sports can be found in the sports section and at the end of the yearbook in the closing section. a) Varsity volleyball tool second place in district eftor losing to Brownsville Hanna in a play-off game.

Each year, as the students prepare to move out into the world, the faculty attempts to oquip those people with the basics and the ability to make a place for themselves in the world. This is done by allowing students to take more responsible positions, by arranging students schedules to include special courses or by lending a sympathetic ear to help sort out problems. In an effort to help students interrelate more with others, the counselors began a series of mini sessions during science classes this year. Administration was also more visible on campus as they made themselves available to help students in the classroom or office. a. loonel Barrera. assistant principal, gives advice tc Amalia Forina. b.

Some of the first activities that took place during the year were both traditional as well as rare. Events such as pep rallies and spirit days gave students a chance to flaunt all the spirit they could muster up and enjoy a day of wild and crazy fun. Another spirited occasion, the annual bonfire, has always been a long awaited event. However this activity has always been one to cause problems. The process of gathering and storing wood is a dangerous task and students, who in most cases are a small group of seniors, are frequently injured while helping out. Also the building of the bonfire is another tedious job. Much time is spent while constructing the Rosalinda Chapa ,-NHS. MAT—Trees.. All Valley Band. Area Band, Ro.

In order to be honored with this great achievement, one must maintain an 88 overall grade point average. demonstrate leadership, and participate consistently in school and community activities. Who's Who is something truly deserved. It proves great potential in the chosen individuals, which evidently has been demonstrated throughout their four years of high school. The reason these avowed students are awarded this restitution is basically because of their attitude. Because after all. it is one's attitude that takes people where they want to be. 04 adidas) Laonal Alvarado San Juanita Coronado NHS, V. Pres—Osoettes. Photo. Club Rep.. UIL. Choir—Trees..

Civitan State. Boy's State and Girl's State are bestowed upon students who ore outstanding in academics, leadership, and character strength. Although many students are chosen, there are many others who are not. This is because only the cream of the crop is selected to represent PSJA. These honors are varied in purpose. Civitan. Boy's and Girl s State are all government related. Students from across Texas congregate at Southwest Texas State Univ.. Univ. of Texas and Texas Lutheran, respectively, to form a mythical state government and experi-ence the world of politics. Rotary couples and Students of the Month are more title than experience, but are no less important to the students who are awarded these honors.

No. this squad is a special squad, evolving a new spirit! If you kept up with the times, you know that there's an experience in getting involved with spirit. Our 1980-81 Varsity Cheerleaders got a whole new way of spreading that Bear spirit. Their accomplishment added pizzazz to our rallies and games. Along with new cheers and chants, they also thought of themes such as Kikker Day”, Happy Days and Hawaiian Day which brought some of our best pep-rallies ever. For the last couple of summers our cheerleaders have attended cheerleading camp at North Texas State University in Denton in which they continually came home Grand Champs! And just to prove how persevering these girls are. they came home with a spirit stick, eight superior ribbons, and the Master Spirit Award voted by other squads. Yeah, these girls got what it takes to make a Bear feel great!! d a. Sandra doas a groat job loading tho chaarlaadars. b. Mary gaxos at tho spirit of tho studant body. c.

J.V.CHS Experience PSJA Spirit The Junior Varsity squad has proven to be vital and a great asset to our Cheerleading organization. They prepared for the year with summer practice and workouts at the stadium. They also attended a Universal Cheerleading Association camp held at Pan American University in August. Throughout the year they did things like help Var. Chs. cheer at the varsity football games and supported the Bears at various sports including J.V. basketball. football and volleyball games. They also helped with money making projects which included selling maroon and white spirit pom-poms, cheerleading clinics and an enchilada supper in October which was very successful. o) Do you think anyone tow that button pop?' atki Meliua b Me'isia ditcuitat th strategy of the naif stunt with Ronn.'o and Silvia. c) JV Che«f!«adar are kneeling: Malitta Gutman -Head Cheerleader; bottom: Frances Martinat Sandy Handy Diana lopar m,ddl : Silvia Cantu and top: Ronnie Martinet CWWJ.-I 6) Osoettes Got That Spirit!! The ever-boosting Osoettes. PSJA's pep squad, continued to back the Bears this year. After undergoing several changes including the arrival of two new sponsors. Miss Beatrice Laurel and Miss Susana Losa. the Osoettes opened the season by promoting spirit during football season by attending football games and pep rallies. They also had their usual set up of elaborate posters, including something new that was experienced, the unconventional spirit rallies held during lunch time. In addition, the Osoettes attended a camp before school started to learn new routines. In the past the Osoettes have proved their spirit: however due to lack of participation, spirit dwindled during basketball season as the Osoettes were not required to attend games in the beginning of the first half of the season. The Osoettes were originally organized to back the roundballers during district games. After a few games though, the Osoettes got back on the ball and everything took a turn for the better. b a. ) Osoettes proudly show their spirit ot home games. b. ) Honey Bear is Mary Lou Sandoval. c. ) Officers are from left Lydia Medellin—1 feas.

The 1980-81 Bearette Drill Team includes 38 beautiful girls who entertain spectators at various sport games. Dancing their way into the hearts of fans during the halftime shows, these girls razz-led, dazzled and sparkled like stars in the sky. One must realize that it takes brains as well as beauty to coordinate and perfect the new routines. And to do this they practiced, and practiced and practiced. Besides having their own class, they met after school and even during the summer. These girls work hard, and it shows. Attending an officers' camp at Texas A I in San Antonio, each came back with five ribbons and one Superstar Trophy. The whole group also attended a summer camp in Donna and learned four routines in all. which were presented at halftime of football and basketball games. a.)

PSJA Band—Still I in the Valley Practice! Practice! Practice! Due to the large amount of new members in the Mighty Bear Band, it was a long time before these people learned the intricacies of double-timing. This situation crippled the band as they were not able to perform all that they could in tho beginning of the year as in years past. But this did not hold the band back for long as they got back on their feet only to become the « | Band in the Valley once again. After the results of the Annual Pigskin Jubilee, Valleyites knew who the best band was, as the group was chosen by a panel of judges as the Most Outstanding Band in the 5A Class. They also were the only band chosen to attend the District 5A State Competition. To con- tinue the year, the band was honored in having the most members place in the All-Valley Contest: and they attended Solo and Ensemble Contests which also turned out to be a great success. The band also as a yearly event, raised enough money to attend their annual band trip to Houston. : IP l� F i 8.) Minnie L«xo twirls the mqht away. b.' Band directors are loft to right: P.

The band was voted by judges as the most outstanding band at Pigskin, over-riding the Harlingen Cardinal Band who marched in the Tournament of Roses Parade. In being the best band, they were the only band chosen to attend State Marching Competition in the District $A Class. But because of their hectic schedule, they could not attend state competition. Instead, they accepted the invitation to attend the 70th Anniversary of Mexican Independence Parade held at Monterrey. Mexico. As well as for the citizens of Mexico, this was a very new experience for the band, for it was their first time they were asked to play 'Internationally . It was a big event that was a success as the band was the center of attention because the people had never seen a band perform as our band does! b a. ) M mb«'s ot Area Band are let : N. Lopez, R.

Iw-ti Yearbook Says: 'Bye-'Bye Ms. Morriss With this year's annual go a lot of memories, hence the name.. .Bear Memories. This year is also saying good-bye to one heckuva journalist. Ms. Carolyn Morriss. Three years ago Morriss came to the yearbook, previously handling the newspaper only, and took her place behind the wheel. As a result, the yearbook got better and better. Last year's book netted an Honor rating by the Texas High School Press Association and a third place by Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Carolyn Morriss had this to say about her years here at P.S.J.A.: It definately has been a rewarding and learning experience for me. But I would say that this year's group has been the best simply because we all grew up together. Three years ago the senior editorial board members and I were greenhands at yearbooking. But we worked and learned together over the years to publish a good yearbook, one for all to be proud of. There is always a certain amount of satisfaction during the year when the students perform well. But the greatest feeling comes when the first box is opened and they see their yearbook for the very first time. The sparkle in their eyes is worth all the long frustrating hours it takes to publish the book, for that sparkle has pride and love written all over it.’ I 6 � - a. Roy Trevino.

Being a hard-working and active club is one thing, but becoming international is another. That’s what the PSJA Drama Department, now the International Thespian Society Troupe 1295 has accomplished. and it wasn't easy. First of all the Drama Department had to have at least seven active members who have individually become international thespians. This can only be done by having obtained ten or more points while working on various projects. Once an organization meets all the requirements it is thereby accepted as an International Thespian Troupe. Ever since last year when Drama received a new sponsor. Gilbert Zepeda, the club has been non-stop on all its plans for the future. This year the Thespians have produced a number of perform- ances and shows including a one-act play, a variety show, and this year’s full length production of Lewis Carroll s Alice in Wonderland. This play, with a cast of 26. brought over 5.000 elementary students into the high school auditorium. Colorful set and elaborate costumes were just a part of the magic experienced by the viewers who witnessed the arrival of Wonderland. Although the Thespians found it quite exhausting to produce such a play the common thought among themselves was it was worth it. The Thespians are headed this year by Peter Alexander, president and sponsored again by Gilbert Zepeda. Surely a club that will be going places, the Thespians do it together. a.)

If you think it's an unappealing and trite occupation, think again because to begin with each individual of the 51 members must have been enrolled in vocational agriculture or have completed four years of agriculture and have graduated in order to achieve agricultural leadership and development goals. This year the FFA chapter, led by sponsors Sidney Ford and James Dreibel-bis. earned sweepstake honors in the annual All-Valley Winter Vegetable show with a totoal of 334 points.

There are 85 members in the 1980-81 NHS. one of the largest groups ever in the history of PSJA, who must all have had an average of 88 or higher. They must also be enriched or academic juniors or seniors in order to be considered to enter NHS. All new members were inducted in November and attended an initiation party in December.

And boy. have we got one! The PSJA UIL squad is one of the toughest in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Not only do they win, but they are also well liked and admired by their fellow competitors. In UIL consistency is the name of the game. Although it is good to win 1st place in overall competition at a tournament. it is consistency that pays off in the end. Coming in win. place, or show in several meets is what really counts. PSJA can attribute this consistency to two major factors: one is the PSJA coaches: Dr. S. Nicholson—Debate. G. Zepeda— Dramatics. R. Martinez—Pers. Inf. Ora-tion, L. Bounous—Spelling. C. Morriss— Journalism. Y. Martinez—Typing. R. Rodriguez—Shorthand. A. Cron—Calculator. L. Fain—Number Sense. R. Soper—Science. L. Wright—Ready Writing, and J. Doyle—Prose Poetry UIL Coordinator. The other factor is the competitors themselves. Not only are the ole standby's great, but also the new crop of sophomores who are understat-edly great. This gives PSJA more than a fighting chance after the 1980-81 season is over. OH—Acfcv.� .« � s PSJA UIL Still Climbing In the past few years the PSJA UIL squad has been steadily gaining in strength. The Squad went from a last place in district in 1976 and steadily climbed up the competing ladder' to come within an arm's reach of first place last year. One reason is Mrs. Janet Doyle’s (UIL Coordinator) determination and spunk, another reason is the acquisition of an outstanding Drama coach. Mr. Gilbert Zepeda. Mrs. Janet Doyle had this to say about her experiences with UIL: I like my job. I like doing what I have been doing for five years. It has been very rewarding to see PSJA climb from last place in district to second place last year and hopefully to first place this year. ♦Wjl a) UIL members are left. bottom row: Martha Hernandez.

Students with hopes to prepare themselves for future metal related occupations might interest themselves in opportunities of training experiences and techniques dealing with the advancement of Metal Skills. Skills such as sanding metal, soldering tin, welding steel, or even making something out of any scrap of iron are primarily what knowledge can be obtained by enrolling in a metal trades class. The club's sponsor. Mr. Roy Rodriguez intends to aid in cultivating the students interest in this particular vocation in order to allow them to work actively on personal or community projects.

Big expectations, overdrawn conclusions. and high hopes—the joke was on the proud. PSJA football fans. The season's opener against Donna was a straight victory for PSJA. this sent the fans wild over the 20-7 score. Game two also sent the fans squealing with delight as the Bears pounded Corpus Christi Ray. 19-7. So much for non-district play. Enter 28-5A district competition, and the Bears showed off their true colors. PSJA began district play with a disappointing and surprising loss to San Benito. This started the ball on a downhill roll, with losses to Weslaco 37-7. and the McAllen Bulldogs. 38-8. The Bears broke their slump with a victory over Brownsville Porter. The rest of the season went by with no big surprises with the exception of the concluding game against Edinburg. The game was tense and the Bears eased their way down the field to make the game's only touchdown, the extra point soon followed. Final score: Bears-7. Bobcats-0.

Although the girls worked very hard at setting up in the 1st half they just seemed incapable of clutching on to any major victories. The girls land-slided into a fruitless 1st half with a won loss record mark of 3-5. winning their only games against Memorial 55-46. Porter 49-20. and Edinburg 58-48.

These young ladies are the backbone of next year's Varsity team, and a great one at that. Though they are still just learning and experiencing the pointers of basketball, they proved to have excelled well above their competitors. The girl J.V. roundbal-lers gave their opponents a taste of tough competition as it seems that the games they lost were by an average of only four points per game. The girls entered the 2nd half with a 1st half season record mark of 4-4. The competition became even more intense during the 2nd half as the mark 5-3. an improvement over the 1st half. As the girls continue to advance, their chances of having a good Varsity team next year also continue to rise. g-hj.v i: Bear Cagers Put It in for Two! Despite high hopes for a district title. Bear basketball hit the courts with a resounding thud this year. Both varsity and junior varsity squads were aiming for a title but neither achieved it. What started out as a year full of promise and rebuilding for the varsity cagers soon turned into one full of dashed hopes as the team managed only a 4-14 district record for the year. The junior varsity squad, led by Coach Eugene DeSutter. fared better with an 8-10 record. With returning letterman Beto Salinas leading the way on varsity and new head Coach Gabe Gonzalez, the possibility of being a district contender was bright. However, the law of averages was not in their favor as the team managed district wins only against San Benito. Brownsville Hanna and the new kid in town. McAllen Memorial. The Bears did have the second highest scorer in the district in Salinas who averaged 20.7 points per game. Jerry Farias, of Mission, was the leader with 23 points per game. Second highest scorer for the Bears for the year was junior Frank lanelli. He scored an average of 14.3 points per game. Despite the disappointing year for the Junior varsity high scorer was Greg cagers. they never gave up their winning Anderson with 15.3 points per game. spirit throughout the season. I2« Sait.-t. ' IM Varsity Posts 4-14 Season Although the varsity team managed only a 4-14 district season, they did get off to a good start. The Bears gave their contenders some tough competition during tournament games as they took consolation at the Weslaco Tournament defeating St. Joseph's Academy 70-51. Hopes were high as the district opener with Harlingen approached. But these were soon dashed as the Cardinals proved to be too powerful and beat the Bears 67-42. The Bears finally got on the winning track after losing to Porter and Weslaco by defeating Memorial 59-47. Our team lost two more games to Hanna and Edinburg before defeating San Benito and then did not win another game until the second round of play when they again defeated Memorial 50-48. They also defeated Hanna in an overtime thriller 67-64. But that was to be the last victory for the Bears this year as the cag-ers lost their last three games.

Players such as Greg Anderson Greg Cruz and Aron and Arturo Santa Maria sparked the JVers to wins over several tough teams. The team started out the year with wins over local rivals such as Harlingen. Weslaco. Memorial. Edinburg and San Benito. There were few losses in the first half of play. But turnabout is fair play as the cagers did not win as many games in the second round. Play was much tougher in the second half.

These two things combined to give the Bear baseball team a good year in district play. With only five returning let-termen. Omar Palacios. Herman Trevino. David Salinas Rick Garia. and Beto Aguirre the Bears relied on several unseasoned players to round out the team. However, the Bears were better offensively and defensively than in previous years, according to Coach Santiago Bazan. The coach also hoped that the team's ability and attitude would give it the incentive needed to provide tough competition and a possible district championship for the year. The addition of a new field also helped the Bears. New facilities were provided to make way for construction at the site of the old field. With a seating capacity of 1000 many fans turned Out to support the team. «) V«r� ity Baseball Taam of 1981: Knaelmg left: Aron Santa Maria. Xaviar Cancha. Ricky Gana, 8ato Aguirra. Omar Palacios.

The team, in striding toward a rebuilding year had a large amount of players who were willing and ready to play. The JV players worked hard to try and accomplish a learning experience. The team found out about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in every game but this helped them to become more experienced players and to be ready for the varsity next year. ■v'-N r Different Strokes They're not seaweed, they're not fish, they are the 1980-81 swimming Bears. Their goal is not to win or lose but to have pride in being a lifesaver. These Bears are not only excellent swimmers but also possess techniques that only a swimmer can know in helping a drowning person. This year things did not go quite as planned for the swimmers, due to the lack of cooperation by mother nature and a broken water pump. However the PSJA swimmers had an excellent year despite these setbacks. For the first time in history, the swimming team brought home a trophy as the victorious swimmers placed second at the Harlingen meet.

Changes that include the remodeling of our schools, addition of better equipment to various schools, and the addition of needed athletic facilities around our district are all in the process of being done. It takes a lot of time and effort, not to mention hard work and dedication, on the administration and school board's part for all this to take place, and some of us have seen it happening. Expanding a school district to accommodate a student population of over ten thousand, and keeping things all under control could be more than a handful for some, yet our administration and school board is doing more than a fantastic job in maintaining this position. Thanks to these capable and loyal men on the job. PSJA has a bigger and better future for tomorrow's students. Hoctor Palacios School Board President Mr. Augusto Guerra.

At PSJA, that person is the amiable and reliable Jack McKeever. Although PSJA is not known for being the most glamorous or sophisticated campus in the Valley. Mr. McKeever has done more than his share to maintain a reputable and sociable school. It is not an easy job to keep discipline in a high school of about 2.400 students and still expect each and everyone of them to keep a positive attitude about the principal. Yet Mr. Mckeever has managed to keep the majority of the students with a satisfactory attitude. Only a man with such poise and aptitude as Mr. McKeever could succeed in keeping PSJA as a school we can all be proud of! a. ) Mr. McKeever. our top man. b. ) Office worker are Thelma Mettlach.

PSJA s assistant principals and counselors are faced with challenges each day that required a lot of careful thinking and sometimes even quick deciding on their part. PSJA is extremely lucky to have obtained such capable and dedicated people working on the office faculty staff. Teaming up together seems to be the main goal to shoot for here on campus and undoubtedly. it's in the office staff too.

Teaching and guiding students so they can express themselves both logically and effectively was achieved by daily assignments in paragraphs, compositions, essays, outlines and free writing. In this manner students had the opportunity to express their writing in their own words. This year the English department headed by Mrs. JoAnn Doffing gained two new teachers. Mrs. Irene Davila and Dr. Suzanne Nicholson. Due to the semester change this year grammar composition and literature were each one semester long.

Some may choose to further their education while others may not. Whichever the case may be. the Vocational Department is available to those wishing to gain a little extra knowledge in a working field. Several courses in agriculture, horticulture, appliance repair, welding, construction trade, auto mechanics, woodworking and yes. even broadcasting are offered to the students on campus. The main purpose of the vocational program is to offer the individual the opportunity to gain useful experience in the field of technical work he so desires to advance in. The Vocational Department itself is equipped with the finest staff around. Jose A. Farias. Vocational Supervisor, makes sure everything s at its best. This year, the addition of a new counselor.

Journalism itself consists of a yearbook staff, newspaper staff, a journalism I class and two photojournalism classes. Ms. Carolyn Morriss has been heading the department on her own for the last few years. In the classroom the students are taught to think logically and quickly and write it down in the same manner. A sense of responsibility is taken by students in meeting deadlines, working with cameras, and handling newspaper assignments. Although journalism hasn't had any major changes, in the next few years there will be some expansion done. In the Drama department Mr. Zepeda has been busy running an expanding organization. Drama is now officially Thespian Troop 1295. In drama the student is taught to stand before others to speak and act. Many students gain an appreciation for the art of drama by competing with other students from the state or the nation. In addition to this the students develop a stronger character by being involved in a winning environment. A Gloria Potter Typing I II Yolanda Martinez Carolyn Morriss Typing I Gen. Bee.

Here at PSJA students are given tho opportunity to gain experience in certain business areas that can be beneficial for their future career. Teaching the basic skills in business is the main purpose of this department, and by getting the students to understand the material gives them an advantage when it comes to obtaining a job. This year the business department offered a new course in Business Management. It was established for students desiring to learn the principles and problems in operating a small business. Ownership. marketing, purchasing and financing were just a few factors learned in this class. All skills taught are designed with the realities of a business world. In learning this the students have already given themselves one step forward for the future.

Lack of interest and support gave this class a bad name. Nonetheless this year's juniors pulled off various money-making projects and put out an outstanding prom. At first the prom was scheduled to be held on April 24. 1981 but due to conflicting schedules concerning Student Council. Band. UIL. Track, and Baseball the date had to be changed. Through much confusion and telephone calls to the performing band and the photographer. the prom was set for May 15. 1981.

These experiences have desired Beth to become a go-getter in life. Beth is involved in Student Council. French Club and The Thespian Club. She also helped design costumes for Alice in Wonderland '. Someday she intends to use all her abilities to get involved in a modeling career with photography then, afterwards, to become an airline hostess.

Sophomore Robert Blair is very committed to UIL. in which he often engages in debate and oration. Also involved in Drama. Robert performed the leading role in last year's freshmen one-act play entitled. Captain Fantastic. He was also among the cast of this year's Thespian Club's rendition of Alice in Wonderland. In Alice' Robert role-played the part of Tweedledum. Choir is yet another of Robert's diversions. in which he displays another one of his many talents. Of PSJA. Robert had this to say. all in all. PSJA is an excellent school with high scholastic standards and a lot of fun to attend. Although he has still got two more years before graduation. Robert is already malting plans for a future in the theatre. His main goal in life according to Robert is. money, fame, and power.'' • '••• Oh’« N g- ' ©doWo S«.«yM 8'.� -Nayci Mot Tr.iX Oe oo Jmk 0do «! ft c cc Com Ofcvo’oi -t«rdo C: 8 rde O'toqa « � -,« C 0«l M� “ -« Ov i Jo C -. ««� CW« ' 8 ' co« Cra J «n ?tUc Jo 8 l fOI B « Pole - G� o P lo o Ro '-«d� M� r.« fW-w YoU d 8 -� Oom fv M« 8 o� M � .fc l • • fto9 (o 8 � .co Mt 8 r W Ca-tei 8 r • Wt J « fcf W� P .� « A-'� —.o fV«: J P � !

Reynaldo—147 75 ♦ Different Events Bring Year to an End As the year came to a close students seemed to be confronted with more and more school events. While some events, such as pep rallies and spirit days, were not to be found, students found enjoyment in other activities. Like the beginning of the year, various clubs and organizations had their share of events to contribute to the year. For example, the 1980-81 Student Council attested for the arrival of many activities this year which not only entertained us but even saved people s lives. Three blood drives were held by the council which brought in hundreds of pints of desperately needed blood for citizens. There was also a garbage can decorating contest involving many different clubs to help promote cleanliness around the campus. The movies Psycho , Colossus , and Kramer vs. Kramer were all sponsored by the Student Council along with the annual Talent Show which consisted of over 15 acts. Another club which contributed greatly to the year was the International Thespian Society Troupe 1295. This club brought together two productions which included the One-Act Play Don Quixote of la Mancha. The Thespians competed with this play with other valley high schools in an attempt to regain last year's UIL district title. They later put together a number of skits and performances in the Second Annual Variety Show and also brought to the PSJA Campus a group of internationally acclaimed actors from Texas A I University called La Compania de Tea-tro Bilingue. Other clubs which added more to the occurring events were NHS, who sponsored an Honor Roll Tea. the Sophomore Class who brought back the Belle and Beau, and the Junior Class who gave us an oriental prom. Finally, the event of the year came about as the Seniors of 81 went on to the Commencement Exercises. Seniors have always had an enormous decision to make on determining what exactly to do after graduation and thanks to our counselors, students were aided with their burdening situations and tough decisions that always met them toward the end of the year. As the year rolled by events that kept us in constantly changing moods, will remain with us and will be remembered as the times of 1981. While saying goodbye to another year of events and experiences we realize that soon with the knowledge we’ve gained we will surely surpass those seemingly unconquerable barriers of our future. 0 a) Molly Thomas counsalt another student. b) The Ona-Act Play, Don Quixote of La Mancha, included o cast of IS four ara not shown hara. c) 8ertha Gutierrex and Laxaro Cabrera helped design this first placa trash can for tha choir. d) La Compania do Taatro Bilingua visited us with hilarious parformancos.

And what a bargain. This long siege, which began at the hands of the Iranian militants and continued because of slip-shod government, came to a grinding halt January 20. 1981. While it didn't cost the US a penny, however it did result in the loss of eight crewmen s lives in the aborted April 1980 rescue attempt. America's end of the bargain was to release the majority of frozen Iranian assets in this country, most belonging to the deceased Shah of Iran, and the hostages were back safe and somewhat sound. While the release was supposed to come on the eve of President Jimmy Carter's last day in office, the Iranians gave his diplomacy a final slap in the face by waiting 35 minutes into the Ronald Reagan administration to let the captives go. When the hostages were back home once again, stories began to filter out about torture and mistreatment at the hands of the Iranians. It seemed the militant students were using cruel psychological warfare such as telling the frightened hostages Your mother's dead. using fake firing squads, and staging Russian roulette tournaments with empty guns. All of this was apparently aimed at completely unnerving the hostages. At last they were set t-ee and while the hostages were adjusting to a year and three months of retching up. Reagan was adjusting to his role as President. And as he welcomed the captives home, calling them prisoners of war. Iran was given fair warning to watch their step, the US was through playing games. Whether Reagan will carry out the US side of the bargain completely and if relations between the two countries will ever be strong again remains to be seen. lieu an Sworn in ns lOtli President � 3ht lHonifor.; :_ Hostages Leave Iran, Begin Lon Trek Home |{i -.igaii t_--- Ye I Hiring: Yrww I run to Nr reive Military S nirr Parts 1 5?5 W «ESE r zE SS5u a) Tie a yellow ribbon round thot old oak free.

Rachel Acosta Class of '78 Benny Welch Hector Garcia Rosa Anaya Class of 80 Class of 81 Class of 81 52 Oo «9 The PSJA 1980-8 I school year brought about many changes and one of those changes was the passing of a few of our friends. Bear Memories wishes to express sympathy by remembering these four people in these pages. The lives of Rachel Acosta. Benny Welch Hector Garcia and Rosa Anaya were taken from us this past year but their memory will linger in our minds as well as in our hearts. Rachel Acosta graduated from PSJA in the 77-78 school year. Rachel was very active during her years at PSJA. She was Club Editor for the Bear Memories Yearbook, a member of the Tri-City Top Teens, the Student Council Executive Board, and Leo Club parliamentarian. but the biggest honor bestowed on Rachel was being named Homecoming Queen for 1977-78. Benny Welch graduated with the class of 1980. Benny was a member of the PSJA baseball team during his years at PSJA. Although Hector Garcia wasn't very active in High School, his friendship was known by many. Hector was a member of the graduating class of 1981. Rosa Anaya was also a member of the graduating class of 1981. Rosa was a member of the Science club and played cornet with the PSJA Bear Band. There were also several celebrities who passed away during the school year. Perhaps one of the most notable deaths was that of John Lennon which struck many Beetle fans a hard blow. Three other musicians that have left us are Bill Haley, leader of Bill Haley and the Comets. a band of rock and rollers from the 50's. John Bonham, drummer for the popular rock group Led Zeppelin,' and Bon Scott, ead singer for the Australian rock group AC DC. also passed on. The movie world suffered a great loss when actors like Mae West, Steve McQueen, Peter Sellers, and Johnny Wiesmuller. who played Tarzan on the serial of the same name in the I950's. died. Colonel Harlan Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken' fame was another celebrity to pass on. Their memory will live on. Whether it be in their music, films, or deeds, they shall never be forgotten. Memoriam CV� fl JS� Hey wasn't this a cool year? I thought so. really I did. I'd like to start off by saying thanks to all my teachers and friends who made this year the way it was. but I can't because I started off by saying Hey wasn't this a cool year? Well the one thing I really want to say is that I'm gonna miss my Journalism teacher. Carolyn Morriss. who won't be here with us next year because she's leaving (obviously why she won't be here!). I'll miss ya. Morriss. Thanks for all you've given me. See all you humans later, like next year. —Eliud. Throughout my 3 years of high school I always did what I wanted to do. Then came the question. What did I really achieve?' When I thought about it I remembered many things I did wrong and realized that these mistakes held me back from my so-called future goals'. In short, to me being a senior means being faced with many major decisions. A person should take life seriously and do what he thinks is best for him in the long run. not just for the time being because the present becomes past and it's the future that will become the present. —Grace Now begins the most difficult part of my life. It's hard to believe that my high school years will later become just a small portion of it. The lasting friendships that were made, the heartaches, the disappointments and those tears of joy that were known by us all at PSJA will always remain just a thought away. I sincerely hope you will treasure them forever just as I will, because many of these things happen only once in your life and it's nice to have those pleasant memories to look back on. —Dora. Four years ago I strapped on my scholastic running shoes, and stepped into the starting block. The bell sounded and I was off. off into my freshman year. I then made my way down the sophomore curve, and headed for my junior year. Soon graduation was in sight, but wait, hurdles sprang up in my path. First social acceptance, then scholarship, responsibility and maturity. I cleared the hurdles one by one and headed for my SENIOR year. Muscles straining in effort. I reached out for the brass diploma. Ya Hoo! Watch out college, here I come!! —Roy. b.w-i Colophon Bear Memories 1981. the student yearbook of Pharr-San Juan-Alamo High School, was printed by Newsfoto Yearbooks of San Angelo. Texas. The theme.

Advisor’s Note The final deadline has come. The last picture has been taken and printed. The last of the copy written and the last quad-pak signed and mailed. And so comes to an end the production of the 1981 issue of Bear Memories. But before we go. we thank all of the people who helped us out during the year. These thanks go to Bea Solis, for her photography and last minute help: Oscar Garcia, for his help with the senior group photo: Ramiro Castillo for the loan of several of his student council pictures and Mrs. Mollie Thomas. Mr. Francis Hallock and Mr. Pat Gill, for their help in rounding up the honors section. Thanks to KRGV-TV and KGBT-TV for aiding us in the television section by providing pictures and information: Plitt Cinemas for advertising slicks in the movio section: Mandy Montalvo for photos used in the concert pages and to the National Weather Service for sending us the satellite photo and information about Hurricane Allen. Extra special thanks to Principal J. H. McKeever and the Bear's Tale, photo jour-nalism and Journalism I staffs for their assistance. But the biggest thanks go to four very special people, Eliud Cabrera. Grace Maldonado. Dora Rodriguez and Roy Trevino. For without those dedicated, never-tiring. unselfish, insane, creative journalists, we wouldn't have this book. Thanks from the bottom of your advisor's heart for making this book (her last at PSJA) the best ever.
