Well, for P.S.J.A.. this w«� nothing short of a routine during summer. For many a student who gorged the beaches, parks, and pools it was a quick get away from the Texas climate. Mother nature wasn't the only saltation within reach, though. Thanks to summer wear, brands which ranged from O.P.. Lightning Holt, and Levi to simple funtees. shorts, and tops were sported in streets and malls. For those who couldn’t relish in the outdoors. recreation was not a total loss. There were the usual life survival necessities like talking on the phone with friends, and watching T.N. So whether you have white marks all over your body that kept record of all the lime you spent out in the sun or you know all the lines to your favorite T.V. shows, this summer is one season that's long to lie forgotten by all here at P.SJ.A. b a. ) (Gloria sala.

Work and Play All work and no play is not much fun. All play and no work isn't very good cither. A little hit of both was probably the best combination for most students. Although unemployment row drastically during the summer, by some miracle many students were able to find a summer job. Uncle Sam didn't help things much a- Reaganomics reached their worst peak yet. Making the bucks to get you where you wanted, of course � « harder than spending. But even so. that didn't seem to slop many students. Summer concerts were banned in the McAllen Mission area. As a result, many of us were forced to travel farther upstate like Corpus Christi. San Antonio or Houston to enjoy the live music. Others traveled outside the country visiting place, like Europe or Mexico and still others stayed within the country. Whether it was fun before work or work before fun. this summer proved to be a little of both. « istwtru. 13 Uptown on Tenth Ka� t of Tenth, went of Tentli and sometime too far south from Tenth. Either way student liad the nifjht life in them, ('ruining on the Mimetime infamous strip vu� a big part of this nightlife, a many student would hang-out with the lowrider . kickers or hot-rodders that lined the street on Friday and Saturday nights. If hanging-out wasn't your style, perhaps you made the scene at a night club. Whether it wa rock, kicker, or ncw-wavr nite. many of us managed to sneak past the doors and party out. Students alMi enjoyed many feature movies this summer, with a w ide variety of flicks to choose from. If fun was your main thought, well then the midnight show was the place to go. After the movies many students were left with the question of where to munch out. The Hi Cheese, Pizza Hut, and C.W. Jrs., were the answers to many inquiring mind . If you weren't hungry, maybe you preferred to spend your money on video games at a irhelodeon or Ma ic Coin. Hut w hat of the weeknights when one was stuck at home? Well, simple nights spent at home listening to your stereo or a walk to the local 7-1 I for a game of Tempest or Space Invaders was also to be enjoyed. So. whether it was an evening at Eddie's or simple fun. the night life for P.SJ.A. was quite an event. t a.) Sal Cvimu rnnm M� . I arrnnra and M .

Signs of a coming Autumn were everywhere. One of the biggest event of Autumn that excited some and grossed out others, was the beginning of another school yetr. Yup. lime to hit the ole books again. Seniors were making plan- for an exciting la� t year of high school. Juniors were prepar-ing for res|Kinsibiliti '« that naturally came with their classification and Sophomores were e |MM ting tin unev|M « ted. rhe cool breeay days that came with Fall highlighted the football season. Wow, what a season that was! P.S.J.A. again proved to Ih- a power house. All the preparations for every single game were well worth the trouble. And when all the pain, excitement and fatigue were at their peak, the mighty Bears, came out and reigned a District Champs •nice again. W hether we would excel from that title or not, laid in the hands of fate. As fate had it. we did not. Perhaps that would leave us with a goal to surpass the next year. During the football crate, quite a few events took place. One that probably captured the craziness in all of u� was Halloween. Trick or treating, haunted houses and parties set the background for night-tune fun. Thanksgiving gave u something to look forward to alto. Any time away from school was a ble—ing to most. This time also allowed US a chance to stop and think al out how lucky we were to have what we had and give thanks. hether we had much r not was beside the point. Kxtra-eurricular jetivities were not the only events during Fall. School placed emphasis on many students, -pccially seniors College representative from Pan Am and Columbia University showed up on campus. Mao, whether it was considered lucky or unlucky. some student- were assigned their re- arch paper first semester. The Fall season held many c capadc� (idling used to the routine of school after a summer vaeatioii w a- quite a task for most. I Excitement, people rushing around, and anticipation. These word best described the Homecoming week. This of course whs the week of Homecoming activities. Spirit was a major input during this time a people attended pep-rallies and cheered on the mighty Beans. Students were busy getting up for the Senior Tea. the Homecoming Assembly and the football game at which ten female students waited eagerly to find out who the reigning (juern for the coming year would be. These young ladies were the Homecoming Queen candidates. On the date of October 1, 1982, at approximate} seven p.m. at the I’.S.J.A. Bear Stadium. Sylvia Louise Garza was announced Homecoming Queen for the 1982-83 year. First runner-up was Lisa Garcia with Honnie Martinez as second runner-up. The candidates were nominated by the Senior class and voted upon by the whole ilu-dent body at an assembly that followed the theme of Camelot”. Sylvia Takes Queen Title Falltime Fun After the cheering, thr halftime marching and dancing, and after the back-breaking ia� k of meeting people' demand for munchiea, where did nil the action go? Where did all these hardworking students scuffle off to in hope of finding an action packed night? Well, there were several night spot that some could go to in order to satisfy their crav-ing for fun. Many student- chose a favorite munch out spot or a cruise. Fridays weren't the only times -Indents found themselves wondering where to go. On weekdays the high school wo- a good answer as the PSJ. auditorium fell luwt to tin- Mis Pharr Pageant and Vegetable Show Queen Pageant which attracted large crowd . The JKOTC club held an after school concert with I he l-ormalo providing music for the audience. These were just a few of the many events that gave . kaleid« copir effect on Fall at PSJA. t a.)

Although they were predicted by polk lo come out third behind Harlingen and Edinburg, PSJA proved the dominant force this year a they managed a I 0-0 district and 10-1 ea on record. I nder the direction of Coach lluah ami hi talented group of coaches, the Bean, proved to be a well organized and powerful team. They play ed hard and they played well. They gave over 100‘ i of themiielve and they were rewarded for their effort . PSJA wa never given the credit they deserved from the media. Harlingen and Edinburg Here recognized a the power house and PSJA was just a team that had the luck of playing the easy teams first. The first major game eame October B when the Bear faced the Cardinal . They hut them out 17-0 and Harlingen fell out of the race. Although Edinburg remained a the only undefeated team, the Bear had lo prove themselve again October 1 5 against the San Benito Greyhounds. Their offense was strong but the defense could not hold Gilbert Salinas and company a the Bear overpowered San Benito 2 1-7. The game of the year finally arrived. The two undefeated team met at the PSJA stadium and all eye were on this game. Line formed at the ticket stands the night before the sale , and people camped out in cold weather for the opportunity of getting ticket . The game proved to be very physical and both teams lost player in this game. Arnold Serna left the game early in the first half with a broken ankle. Gilbert Salinas suffered a separated shoulder, and Michael Thompson old injury of a torn tendon caused him to leave the game. Both team rallied hack and forth, but PSJA proved stronger as they defeated Edinburg 17-9, giving Edinburg their first district loss. The Bear had clinched the District title hut suffered so many physical losses in the process. The Weslaco Panther were next and they proved they were not a team that could be taken for granted. The Bears played without the help of Salinas. Thompson, and Serna and proved that team effort was the key to winning the game . They beat the Weslaco Panther 7-3 for the first undefeated season in 20 years. The Bear faced Corpus Christi Carrol next in the play-offs, and beat them soundly in everything but the final score. Costly mistake and had call put the C.C. Tiger on top 26-25 advancing them in the race. The emotion felt by the players, students, parents and fan were mixed. The Bear played the best game of the year and beat every team this season, but they had to il back and watch another team in the district race advance. Was the new rule of the top two team advancing really fair? Well the year is over and the sophs and junior have next year. Coach Bruce Bush resigned February 16 to coach in Alice and defensive co-ordinator Coach Hector Cuevas took over the head athletic director’s job. The senior will never forget the two year under a very talented leader and the underclassmen have gained the experience and background to go on to greater accomplishments.

Although the Bear knew that there would be many teams out to destroy their hope , they were not discouraged. The first team the Hears were to face Hen- the Mercedes Tigers in a pre-season game. The Hears had to prove themselves in the first game in order to carry themselves through the season, and they did. The Bears defeated the Mercedes Tiger 27-6. The McAllen Bulldogs were the first team to face the Hears in district play. The rivalry between these two towns is always at its peak during football season and this year was no exception. McAllen was out for revenge, but PSJA outplayed. them 1 3-6 at Memorial Stadium. The Memorial Mustangs came next and again PSJA proved the stronger team. They overpowered the Mustangs 31-7 fora 3-0 season record. Thr long trip to Brownsville proved victorious for the Hears as they defeated the Manna Kagle 26-12. • .I (wh Bu� h walk nil among ikr Bran. b. ) t.ilbert Solinat fight hit way paal ihr Ulnbuti Bobcat. c. ) “Try and catch me:” � ay Rudy Marc. d. | “Touch Dona!” � ay Bobby Rodnguer. c.)

The excitement of the night and the Cowboys record caught the Bears off-guard and they managed to let Porter score the highest points against them. Harlingen was a crucial game and one the team was looking forward too. The Cardinals had already lost to Kdinburg but were predicted by many to beat the Bears. Last year the Cardinals lost to the Bears 7-16 and blamed the cold, wet weather for their defeat. This year there was no excuse. The Bears shut them out I 7-0 at Boggus Stadium. San Benito came next and again the Bears had to prove their power. The Greyhounds traveled to Bear stadium ready for a victory and proved they had a good passing attack and talented players. But the Bear defense was tough to break, and the offense to much to handle as the Bears knocked them out of district competition 27-7. The Mission Eagles' record at our encounter was 0-6.

JO VimiImM Bears Give Over 100% The Bears played many challenging inm for (hr 1982-83 Krason. bin the three most impressive pmnn were those played against Kdinhurg. Weslaco and Corpus Chri.ti Carrol. The learn members knew that those would lw the ones that needed the extra 10()' effort and they gave it all they had. I ndefeated Kdinhurg and PSJA met Oct. 22 in what proved to he the game of the year. Bear stadium was soldout and people lined the outside of the endzone fence to watch the game. The Bobcat had already clinched a play-off spot by defeating Weslaco earlier in the season, hut were out to beat PSJA and clinch the district title. PSJA, on the other hand, had to beat both Kdinhurg and W eslaco to go to the play-offs. The game proved to be a very physical one and members of both teams suffered many injuries. It was a defensive battle throughout the game as both teams found themselves knocking on the door but unable to score. PSJA scored first, but Kdinburg rallied back and (he score stood 3-3 at half. The Bears came back the second half and proved who the number one team really was. They beat Kdinhurg soundly 1 7-9 and clinched the district title. Weslaco faced the awesome Bears Oct. 29 and lost 3-7 in the final minutes of the game. The Bears played without the help of some players due to earlier injuries hut as Coach B. Bush said, my kids always find a way to win and they did. The Panthers ran the ball up and down the Held but were unable to score. The Masters of Disaster proved their power and held them to a field goal. With minutes left in the game the defense forced a fumble inside the five. Four plays later, they went in for the score finishing the game and season with an undefeated record. PSJA traveled to Corpus Christi to a game that proved to be a heartbreaker for everyone. The Bears beat the Tigers at Buccaneer Stadium in everything but the final score. The offense rushed for a big 473 yards, while the defense held them to a stingy 193 yards. Statistic wise the Bears dominated the game, but only the final score counted and it was 26-25, in the Tiger's favor. The Bears played hard and they played well. They played like a championship team plays. There is no team more disserving of a district trophy than the PSJA Battlin' Bears! 32 V« Outstanding Players Honored As I he football season came to a close, outstanding players were honored for their accomplishments throughout the season. 17 boys were named to the All District Team.

Do you remember the days of first, second. and third grade? flow many friend have you made? Him many have you lout? Perhaps half of those people that you started your srholaatic voyage are no longer here. lint, that was quite some lime ago and no you are much older and in most instance very different. What eccentricities and responsibilities did high school hold for you? Maybe not many. One responsibility hm obvious, though. The mere idea of being a graduating senior m have snapped you into reality. For this was the year of which there would only be one of each. Only one “first day of school”, one “Senior Prom Night '. and one “last day of school. ’ Together the ‘Senior Class of ’83“ experienced these events throughout their last high school year. Whether it was cheering on the mighty Bears, walking to class together, studying for a test or standing by the edge of a familiar crowd and watching. time like these were a part of each one of us. Captured in the net of activity, seniors would come to stand a one during graduation ceremonies. Thoughts of being thrown out into the cruel world and making something out of ourselves were probaldy the majority as the last few days of school crept up on us. It was a year with expectations and disappointments, a year that was taken and faded with lime. ; Time Time M«rro Boranry ra Not Bounqifi Robffl Botiivfri L ftiK� BoJtn vMartbrl Bo hi Eotrban Bravo Manuel Brato Lua Biatfanaente Connie Bjut vAnna (Caballero Ktptranu lamri flirt with I hr ramrra.

These enthusiastic Junior proved thi by having the traditional poster par-tie . participating in the claw Olympics and supporting the Bears. Throughout the football season the Junior Class worked hard at all home games to raise money for the Jr. and Sr. Prom. To make up for the loss of not watching home games, the Juniors gave the Sr , a run for their money at the Pep Rallies. They proved to be extra organized coming in at a close second not far behind the Senior in The Penny Contest. All theae accomplishments and others have given a definite picture of a very promising and exciting senior year up the horizon for the Junior Class. The 1982-83 school year has shown that the class of 84 seem to be getting better.

It s none other than this year's sophomore troupe. The class of 85 proved to be a group of many different personalities as one word could not describe the class in whole. Fresh out of the spoiling of their Freshman year, the sophomores had a great deal of responsibility to learn. Some look to the change quickly while others had a bit of trouble and some didn't take to it at all. Those that did get use to the different pace were bus) signing up for the many organization provided at school. Others may have trailed behind hut. all remained to uphold the much ridiculed title of the sophomore . This spirited group also held the responsibility of upholding tradition by putting on the annual Belle and Beau Dance. All in all the sophomore class showed the rest of the student body what it really took to be a true sophomore. Sophomores Mifi na Uw rwvM LanAiknaa J—a Aten.. « M AtenU R� I«U C)MW Al.a.adu Lu4r.

Administration Keeps PSJA In Top Form While driving around the PSJA area, many of u ceased to notice the growing change in our district. Change which included the building of new school and the remodeling and the addition of better facilities to others. This year a new ban-dhall and P.E. facility was made available to high school students. Many of these changes were made to accomodate the large student population. The people responsible for these task were our hardworking and dedicated school board members and administrators. Much time and effort was put in by these men to make it all happen. They made sure all thing were kept under control and running smoothly. PSJA now has a bigger and better future for tomorrow 's students. k. i a. ) iiku� Io (.urmi. Suprrintrndrnt b. ) Rudy l.ifthl.

The department was headed by Mrs. Shirley Saulabury. This well organised group of teacher aimed strongly in increasing the students knowledge in math. Whether the subject was F.O.M. or Calculus. the teachers did a great job in teaching their students. If at any time the students had problem with their homework tutoring was available. This was made known to them by Mr. A. Arcaute and the rest of the department. They stressed to the student that they were welcomed at any time. So every morning at 7:45 there was a math teacher to help those students having problems with their homework. The tutoring certainly helped many of the student that needed to raise their grades and it was certainly a big help to those students on the verge of failing. With the math department working together they reached all the needs of their students. Once the student learned the principles of math they moved on to more challenging endeavors. With the help of all the math teachers, the department was uble to cover all areas of mathematic and kept the student's grade at an all around good level. All in all the PSJA math department had an outstanding group of teachers who were a big help to their student . Cars . H.S. Cars . I.. Garsa, L. ENG. Tennis Dr. Ed. Game . V. Garcia. D. English VOE.

Their aim was to inform students of past events, how these events affected them in the present and how it would eventually affect them in the future. The History Department was headed by Mr. E. J. Ballew. There were different tvpes of history taught such as: World History. Texas History, Government and ASP. The department has done a superb job in educating the students into becoming aware of all that has happened and how it will affect their everyday life. Despite the fact that it happened some time ago. it is through this, that they learn of the great importance of history. By looking back into the past, it guides them in forming a better societv with leadership and most important, a strong government. b 106 Imli, Rui . R. Math S«ndova|. II Saulmkury, S.

Bean were really cub this year, trying their very best to keep up with the more experienced teanu in the district. With four seniors, three juniors and five sophomores on the varsi-ty team, the young Bean fought a tough district schedule. They worked long and hard hours all year preparing for survival. Rated number nine out of ten teams, the Bears managed a 7th plaee finish. The starling lineup consisted of two juniors and three sophomores with only two experienced seniors including Luis Villescas who anchored the team. The season started with a third place finish at the Kdinburg Tournament. The Bears did not fare so well at the start of District play when they lost their center sophomore Robert Silva and later on lost their leading scorer due to scholastic ineligibility. The record does not represent the efforts and dedication of the young Bears. All starters will be back next year, and should be seasoned enough to compete for a place in the playoffs. The Junior Varsity will be providing the backup talent necessary to give the Bears what they need to compete.
