There are many different commodities that make up a yearbook. The three most important being I.) photography. 2.) copy, and last but not least, y)theme. Yes, the yearbook does have a theme. The 196}-96 P.S.J.A Bear Memories staff was proud to present their award winning theme. Here's Looking at You________Then and Now , to you. the students. The theme represents the joyous feeling a person gets when they look back at their High School years, while it also states that all you can do is reminisce, there is absolutely no way a person can escape the real world. In other words, Here's looking at you ... Then represents the fantasy world of how you looked during the school year. As you travel through the yearbook, you see how you were then. The back cover, stating Here's looking at you ... Now., brings you back from your dreams, reminisce world, to the world of reality. ROTC Officers kick off another season with pre-game ceremonies. REGISTRATION: MASS CONFUSION 6 Go stand in that liner Go get forms A.B.C and Dr Fill our forms D and Er NEXT1 Do these commands sound familiar to you? If they do than you must base been at this year s registration. It it sounds like mass confusion, it was. Seniors milled around anxiously wanting to go home. Although they were excited about their Senior year they had been through registration before and they knew that it was. no big deal. Juniors had a little more to look forward to as they went through registration. The thought of having only 2 more years of high school left excited them as they stood in line after line and filled out form after form to get their schedules. Another thing the Juniors had to look forward to was Sophomore Initiation. After being pushed around all last year the Juniors finally ha e a chance to get their measure of resenge. Although the Sophomores were glad to finally be in high school registration was complete chaos for them. Jerry Munor stated. Registration was crowded and half the time you didn’t know where to go . In short registration was just as it mas described - mass confusion.

AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Bear Mascot Mark Gorualea gets the crown excited. Whit do you do after school? While most people would say I go home. there is really an infinite number of answers to this question. For those unlucky people who don't haw cars, or friends who haw cars they can always look forward to a long wait for the bus. Most people are usually our there until about 4 pm when their only means of transporation to and from school arrives. Other students, like the band students, haw more to look forward to. Earlier in the year, band students marched out in the hot sun for 2 or ) hours, trying to perfect their 4}rd. Annual Pigskin Jubilee. Their hard work paid off as the Mighty Bear Band received the highest rating possible, a Division I. After pigskin, band members had to contend with after school sectionals. Although the band docs do alot of hard work, they aren 't the only ones. After school athletes also put in many hours of sweat. This year, the determination of the athletes helped them reach their ultimate goals. This year, the volleyball team and both theJV and Sophomore football teams had outstanding seasons. The dedication of other clubs like FFA, ROTC and Drama haw paid off in various ways. PSJA s ROTC and Drama departments are among the best in South Texas, while FFA has long been an exciting, learning organisation on campus. Some people found afterschool a rime to ;ust relax.

When guys talk looks that thrill. moM of them are referring to Heather Thomas. Raquel Welch. ChriMie Brinkly or the Dallas cowboy cheerleaders, not too many guys think that the looks that thrill, are right here at PSJA. Its a pleasure to inform you that you don't have to look so far any longer. If you don't watch it. one of the godesses pouncing around campus. juM might bite you on the nose. Not to many blondes, but the valley air does wonders to the personality and complexion of PSJA dames. So don't even try to compare the PSJA valley women to the California Blonde bags, our girls have that certain valley characteriMic that jum thrill the opposite sex. Who knows maybe someone will write the song Wish they all could be Rio Grande girls . When girls talk looks that thrill, they have no idea that the Mel Gibsons. Paul Newmans. Clint Eastwoods, and Tom Sellecks are actually walking with them in the halls. O.k.. so they're a little shorter and lack that extra muscle tissue, but don't tell me you can't notice the resemblence. Sorry girls, you'll aren't the only ones that the valley air effects. So there aren t many blue eyed hunks. In California they're sick of blue eyes, and are begging PSJA j brown eyed hunks to move up there!

These are probably some of the questions asked by girls when Homecoming comes around. Little do people know that much time and preperation go into making Homecoming day a great success. The Senior Class, well over their triumph of the 1964-85 Prom, took on the challenging responsibility of organizing Homecoming activities for the 1965-96 school year. A major event of homecoming is crowning j new queen, which is a prestigious honor. A Every year about four weeks before the big night takes place, the Senior class officers hold a major M meeting with Senior sponsors to make arrangements of the coronation ceremony and other events M dealing with Homecoming, such as the Senior Tea. which is held for the Senior and Ex-Seniors M A of the class of '76 and '66. But before the arranging of the Senior Tea the Homecoming M M Queen Candidates must be presented to the student body. This year even though the M , J Senior Class officers had very little time they presented the candidates at the P-S-J-A M auditorium which was beautifully decorated with greenery provided generously by M Lewis Nursery in Pharr. Escorts for the presentation were Mark Gonzalez and Alejos M IV’ De Leon. The escorts wore black tails and tie tuxedoes and each carried a cain. M %% Formal ware for the escorts was provided by Al's Formal Ware in McAllen. f Many thanks to these two businesses for assisting the Senior Class of 1966 M Also our sincere thanks go to Mr. Ballew, Master of Ceremonies. Afc k - V Crowning festivities took place at the PS-JA stadium before the . S| 1 game started. Fathers, who seemed more nervous than their M beautiful daughters, escorted the candidates onto the field. After what seemed like hours the new queen was y crowned. Pictures were taken, tears were shed and hearts mere broken. All the candidates mere very % beautifully eligible and each deserved the prestigious honor but there can only be one � 1966 Homecoming Queen.

ARE OUR TEACHERS COMPETENT? Many questions have been raised concerning competency tests and the reason behind the law. Teachers argue that the CertiBcate for which they worked so hard to acquire is being put aside for new requirements from legislators. Not all teachers are taking it seriously. Some just swallow their pride, grit their teeth and take it in stride, along with the rest of the 'not very smart' decisions made in behalf of teachers. Although arguments broke out and blood boiled, each teacher from PSJA set out to prove their competency by pass -ing the infamous TECAT(Texas Examination of Current Administrators and Teachers). The constitutionality of the law to take the test has been questioned, and as the lawsuits find their way into District Courts, one can only wonder if the struggle for academic excellence is turning into a fight for survival. 72 Administration PSJA: DEDICATED TO EXCELLENCE With all the talk about educational reformation, more than one of us has stopped and wondered whether such drastic changes in our school system are more detrimental than constructive. In reality, laws, national surveys and TESTS, are just papers that give our congressmen something to do, make other states look good and clutter our already overworked teachers' desks. But that is not important. What matters most is what's under all of that-the dedicated teacher. The dedicated teacher is the one who knows that being a teacher is more than just another eight hour job, accepts the fact, manages to take each day patient- ly, keeps his her job in realistic perspective, and gets a unique sense of satisfaction from it. He she also recognizes students as individuals, which is necessary to successfully discipline the students into responsible adults; a quality which is more important then Christopher Columbus discovered America', TL-'= circumference of a circle', and the period is used at the end of a sentence'. An unknown teacher once wrote: I think of a picture of a cat hanging on the edge of a roof by one claw. My goal is to Hang in there' until teachers, as a group, rake control of the educational process, and where it is heading ’. That same person wrote: A college education will prepare you for a good job working for a millionaire with an eighth grade education. But nobody could have summed up the importance of education as good as Dwight D. Eisenhower: Because our schools help shape the mind and character of our youth, the strength or weakness of our educational system today will go far to determine the strength or weakness of our national morality tomorrow. That is why it is essential to our nation that we have good schools. And their quality depends on us. Below is Mr. Wesley Van Mat re. who is PSJA s Director of Vocational Programs, who was selected as Texas Outstanding Vocational Administrator of the Year for 1986'- Van Matre was judged on his professional associations, and his contributions to vocational programs.

Students who get to take a vocational course will achieve a broader education and preparedness for the world of work. Mr. F. Galvan Mrs. M. Alvarez Mrs. N. Pequeno Voc. Counselor Voc. Secretary As a teacher coordinator, I believe I get a greater personal satisfaction from teaching than a regular teacher, because I work very close with my students during and after they leave our high school. My favorite teacher is the one who acts, thinks, works, and crys as a professional. Mr. G. Galvan DR. ED., JROTC,SP. ED., P.E. HEATH Mrs. B. Villareal Mrs. V. Garza Mr. M. Gonzalez Mr. A. Martinez Besides the required classes to gra -duate, there are a couple of other electives that students can select. They are Drivers Ed. andJROTC. The teachers in these subjects are really unique. The instructors have a great deal of responsibility when guiding inexperienced drivers. Equally unique is JROTC. The sponsors operate under military rules as well as scholar. You can just see how much pride they have in their job as military personnel. As you know, Sp. Ed. is not an elective. The teachers in this program are really special, as well as their students. It takes a certain kind of dedication and lots of patience to hold that job. Having these teachers at PSJA gives mentally underdeveloped students a chance to learn under an open school environment. It also gives us students a perspective of how much we take for granted. Sgt. A. Martinez Sgt. A. Palacios Col. G. Weaver Mrs. E. Pollard Mr. D. Rodriguez Mr. R. Rodriguez S2 -Administration Mr. L.

Zepeda Journalism Drama What do you do when you have only two required classes but need extra credits to graduate? There are many elective classes in the school curriculum. Classes like Drama, Journalism. Spanish, Homemaking and Computer Math, to name a few. You don't have to settle for something the that you don't like. And remember: Unless you're lazy or don't show up for class, There's no reason why you shouldn't pass. What is the nurses day like? Good question. Is she always busy? With an average of 19 sick students per day, the nurse and her assistant, Mrs. Hinojosa, have plenty to do. It is comforting to know that we have a qualified person in the medical field, to be there when we feel under the weather'. So ifyou think there is good enough reason to have an excuse to go home, see the nurse, she might save your day. Mrs. J. Miller Nurse Mrs. F. Hinojosa Asst. Nurse Administration S3 STUDENT TEACHERS: GAINING EXPERIENCE Student teachers from Moorehead State University that completed their student reaching here at PSJA High School are: Suzanne Solberg; York North Dakota. Jennette Gasal; Jamestown North Dakota. Standing: Thomas Gaslin; Wadena Minnesota. Marty Heiden; West Fargo North Dakota, and Mike O'Connor; Fargo North Dakota. Student teacher Mrs. Terry Tamez taught Biology and was assisted by Mr. Hector Sandoval. Here Tamez completes her workload in lesson plans. Mr. G. Panola was a student teacher during the fall semester, and assisted Mrs. V. Hernandez in the Spanish Department. Becoming a teacher is a long studious process. Besides having to take extra classes on their chosen teaching profession and being required to take competency tests, the teacher to be. goes through a semester of training in a classroom before going out and becoming a certified teacher. This year's student teachers were many during both the fall and spring semester. The student teacher faced many difficult challenges besides teaching their field. The stu -dent teachers went through enormous work of: recording the amount of hours teaching, student evaluations, making tests, never ending lesson plans, recording grades, and make-up tests. But most of all. it was the responsibility of each student in the learning process. The student teacher faced the growing need of self respect as well as the respect of his her own student. Do students learn anything from student teachers' That's a difficult question to ask. for it s the student s own opinion if they learned anything. This year, five Moorehead State University students came down to PSJA to student teach, thus concluded their training to become successful teachers in March. See picture above. 84 Administration PSJA LIBRARY: MEETING STUDENT AND TEACHER’S NEEDS PSJA Library Staff are: left to right- Mrs. Marquez, Mrs. Rodriguez, Sister Rose, Mrs. Chapa, Mrs. Trejo Mrs. Chapa busy xeroxing copies for many of the PSJA students.

Attendance to the library has gradually increased in the past few years, up to a total of 6R.112 last year. Circulation of materials including books, audio visual equipment, periodicals and vertical files has been over 23,000. These kind of statistics prove that PSJA students are getting down to business and taking advantage of the 22,000 plus books in our library. According to Mrs. Marquez. the second and last semesters are usually the busiest, due to the large number of students busy on their English research papers. For all your informational needs from magazine articles to encyclopedias. almanacs and films, the librarians at PSJA will be glad to help teachers and students alike.

Esmeralda Alvarado, Elizabeth Sauceda and Mary Castillo. The growing student population here at PSJA High School has really-put pressure on the cafeteria staff. Daily meals including breakfast total over 30,000. The satff is presently operating under two shifts. Starting as early as 3 am. the morning shift prepares breakfasts, and starts the lunch, which are immediately sent to other schools in the district. Later in the day as the afternoon shift takes over, lunch for the next day is started, taking up to three days when it comes to enchiladas. Mr. Cano's job includes making sure meals are nutritious and are rotated to avoid boredom. He also makes sure correct quantities of vegetables, meat and milk are delivered to the central kitchen. Preparing meals for students takes time and patience, and once again dedication stands out at PSJA.

Mr. Garza s main job at the front office is keeping up with student absentees and truancy problems. With these two major school problems, Mr. Garza keeps busy much of the day. Thanks to Mrs. E. Gonzalez, who helps tremendously, his job is a lot easier. The computers sure made the office personnels' job less tedious and helped ease the workload. Their jobs throughout the day are data entry, attendance, schedule-ins, grades, student information, and attendance reports. Ms. Garza, the bookkeeper, faced a tough job, which is keeping the ledgers of all PSJA clubs and informing them if they were in the red or black. COUNSELORS: GUIDANCE TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION Ms. Flores Ms. Herrera Mr. Loredo Mrs. Solis Mrs. Thomas Mrs. Willingham Mr. Zuniga Mrs. Munoz Secretary Todays counselors are at the top of the list when it comes to variety in the job. Their duties range from being a personal advisor and friend to helping students chtxise the right classes and getting in touch with the college students plan to attend.

Although the student may be one of hundreds of students assigned to a counselor, he she is ready to help the student with their individual situation. Administration 89 PRINCIPALS: IMPLEMENTING ACADEMICS Mr. F. Alanis Principal Have you ever wondered why we have so many assistant principals? Under the direction of Mr. F. Alaniz, we have six assistant principals here at the high school. Mr. Alanis main responsibilities are concerning the budget, counselors, and security. A recent addition to the office administrators is Mr. Scott Owings• Curriculum Facilitator. Being in charge of honors pro-garm, TEAMS testing, UIL Literary Events, Textbook selection, and dropout students (among many other duties), Mr. Owings has quite a responsibility.

Their energy was focused on enforcing state laws on education, mastery learning in the classroom, tutoring and introducing a proposal for a $20 million bond issue to build much needed educational facilities including a new high school. The proposal passed on February 1st 1986. The Texas Examination of Current Administrators and Teachers (TECAT) was also taken by central office administrators. Our Superintendent. Mr. Gus Guerra even had to take it as well. The school board faced challenges with other neighboring districts. Not only did PSJA ISD faced over crowding, but at the beginning of the school year, a teacher shortage. By the middle of the school year, all schools had enough responsible working teachers. Through out the year, the school board worked endlessly to make PSJA ISD a top rated school district. Mr. R. Lizcano School Board Member Mr. A. Guerra Superintendent Administration 91 V.

Training would have to be the most important of these three words. This is because hands-on-training is what the students of this club do. The students are employed by either I.C.T. employers or just concerned and interested employers who need a few good students. Students who keep their school grades up, and a good position at work and in their community. Through Mr. Ramirez this years club did exactly that. They kept a good grade average. They also kept their jobs which proved their ability as a fellow worker. This also accounted for their community affairs. Thanks to a great group of students P.S.J.A. has yet another club to be proud of. I.C.T. has proved how their spirit is part of the backbone of the total P.S.J.A. body.

A hUrtmex The ROTC has long been known for their military procedures, their flag raising ceremony, and their uniformed ways of escorting the Homecoming Queen and Candidates. But the ROTC is not just made up of these fine gala events. Much time and practice is taken in before anyone can actually say they belong to the ROTC. The ROTC has one primary goal, to provide a course of instruction in leadership and citizenship using military subjects as the teaching vehicle. Also to provide a range of extra curricular activities for practical experience ap -plication. as stated by Col. Gene A. Weaver. ROTC also sees that each student is prepared for the future. The ROTC is made up o f precisely eight coprs. The corps consist of The Batallion Staff. Color Guard. Rifle Corp, A Company. B Company, C Company. For an organization that has learn to lead by leading as a motto, they definitely have shown a superior way of leading. Officers of this fine organization are indeed outstanding and deserve a great thank you.

THE HISTORY CLUB-ENCOURAGING FURTHER STUDY OF THE PAST The History Club might be small in number, but they 're certainly high in quality. The primary reason for the existence of the club is to encourage the appreciation and further study of history. The History club met every second and fourth Friday of each month under the supervision of both Mr.J. Reyna and Mr. G.De La Garza. This year the club promoted such projects as the yearly tradition of observing Veteran 's Day on November II. For the Texas Sesquicentennial. the club donated a tree and a shrub to be planted on campus. They also donated a Valley History Book to the PSJA library. This year the History Oub took a Field trip to San Antonio to further their study in Texas History and at the same time have a little fun.

Reyna-Head Sponsor PSJA UIL CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY For over 75 years, students have competed in UIL competition in almost every state. Many people relate UIL to such events as football, basketball, band etc. However, the Universal Interscholastic League also has competitions such as drama, typing and a great deal more of intellectual competition. Celebrating our IOth Anniversary, the PSJA UIL team did remarkably well. Through UIL competition, students build self-confidence, experience teamwork, develop the ability to lead and the willingness to follow. Students in UIL also foster self-dicipline, complement their classwork and discover that the true meaning of winning is doing their best! stated PSJA UIL coordinator Mrs. Doyle. There are a total of eight UIL events. Prose and Poetry. Informative and Persuasive and Debate. are three events in which students show their speaking ability. In Science students are given three categories to answer questions in Biology. Physics, and Chemistry. Typing contestants are required to type five minute writing skills. Shorthand, which is somewhat like Typing. requires students to take a five minute dictation and then transcribe it at a typewriter. In Journalism, events are broken up into four categories: Newswriting, Editorial Writing, Headline Writing, and Feature Writing. Students are to show their creative writing abilities. Drama allows students to perform their acting ability in duet acting, solo acting, and group acting. Accounting, sponsored by Ms. Serna works with calculators and income tax. In each event, students represented PSJA at a great deal of tournaments throughout the Valley and also at other school functions. The group held two of their own tournaments-The Junior High Invitational Tournament held on January 25 and The Varsity Invitational Tournament on February 8.

'The Bear's Tale.' the school newspaper. Once a month plus an extra issue were printed for the 1961-96 school year.

Jerry Mu not. whose writing contributions added test to the newspaper Also contributing was Journalism I. ltd period class Like every year the Bear's TaJe published outstanding stories to boring stones, positive as well as negative, funny to informative stones, sports to commending. rewarding to criticizing. Editorials were the main issues for the year. Who can forget the hand story as well as the Miss Pharr story that drew not only campus attention, but the community. Letters to the editor pumped in. The editorials were written as every oumalist knows, simply to express themselves in writing of a certain event or situation Bear's Tale reporters were boiling to respond, but were limited. Wishing to express ones opinion by writing is a virtue and most of all its an accomplishment fot the voice of freedom, but of course, only to a certain extent. Readers on the other hand seemed to enjoy the paper because nearly all the issues were sold out. That ’s something to be proud of. to all of the staff members. The Journalism Room F. 101 might be always noisy during 4th period as some 100 students walking in or out. knocking on the door some 100 times, telephone calls by the dozen, or the room becoming a second cafeteria during lunch time. But one thing fot sure, it s the journalism students who write the stories merely to entertain the PSJ A student while there wasn 't really much faculty support, only a mere fraction. It's the student newspaper. The students make the news and it 's reported Maybe not all is reported but at least we try. 10 issues are printed mainly of 4 to 6 pages with a couple of issues at an all time record breaking of 12 pages; standard site, that is But no matter the story, the year 1961-96 was overwhelming with exciting news. Without these W so called brilliant writers, the Bears' Tale wouldn't be printed and of course without the PSJ. A. student buying the paper, nothing.

The photographers are the mam people, for they are to capture and take pictures for the members to work with. No pictures, no work. This year the photographers were many, not professionals, or even amateurs, just plain photographers and trying to learn, at least they seemed to.

Perez All of the hard work, dedication, patience, and practice finally paid off as the Lady Pharr-San Juan- Alamo Varsity Volleyball team captured a share of the District 32-3 A title. The Lady Bears rolled over most of their opponents but were sidetracked by both of the McAllen teams in the first round. The Bears tied with Eagles from Mission for the title. Although the Lady Eagles were thepre- favorites the Bears were able to defeat them in both of their encounters. The first meeting between these two teams took place in Mission where the Lady Bears won the match in two straight games. The second game took place in P.S.J.A. where a grueling three game match had to be played to decide if Mission would keep the title to themselves or if P.S.J.A. would also get a piece of the title, In the outcome the Lady Bears would win the game 15-6, 3-13, 16-14. Flour bluff was the site of the Area match between P.SJ.A. and South San Antonio Bobcats in the first Round of the State playoffs. The Lady Bears were eliminated after three hard fought games. The l dy Bears won the first game 13-8, but a tough San Antonio team forced a third game when they took the second game 13-3. The third and deciding game went down to the wire and the Bobcats from San Antonio won the game and the right to continue in the playoffs. 1985-86 Varsity Volleyball members from L to R- Myrna Hernandez, Santa Hernandez, Ofelia Medina, Belina Rlores, Debbie Salinas, Lettey Cantu, Marty Garcia.

For the second yeat in a row the Pharr-San Juan Alamo Sophomore Football team has non the District )2-)A title. Under the leadership of coaches Dan Coplea and Eseo Pompa the sophomores rolled to won loss record of 7 and 2. In their first game of the year, the sophomores played a wry determined Hidalgo J. V. team. With quarterback Joe Estrada at the controls they defeated the Pirates by a score of 21-C With this win the Osrtos proved to everyone that they would be a force to reckon with in the District race. The Sophomores then opened up District play by traveling to Harlingen to face their bitter rivals, the Cardinals. The defense played an outstanding game stopping Harlingen's potent running attack as well as grounding their aenal attack The final score was PSJA 28. Harlingen O. Following the victory owr Harlingen, the Baby Bears stayed home to face the Mission Eagles. Both defenses played well and a touchdown by Ricky Hernandez proved to be the winning points as the sophomores defeated the Eagles by a score of 7-6. The next meek, the Sophomores traveled to McAllen to face the McHigh Bulldogs Although the Dogs played an outstanding game, the Bahy Bears once again came home victorious, this time by a score of 21-0. The Edinburg Bobcats then came to town to try and defeat the Sophomores who were on cloud nine after four straight victories. The Cats came out looking for a win. but the Baby Brums would not be denied. Once again the Sophomores came out on top. this time by a score of 7-0. With the wm owr the Bobcats the Sophomores were the leading contenders to take the District crown, but with four games remaining, they could not let up Their next opponent was the Browns -ville Hanna Eagles Once again stingy defensive units con-tnbuted to a low scoring game. Although the Sophomores scored only once a two yard scoring run by Albert Lopez, it mas enough to wm as they edged the Eagles 7-6. The following week, the Baby Bears were not so fortunate as they faced the McAllen Memorial Mustand Sophomores. Untimely turnovers and penalties were the main factors which contributed to the first defeat of the year for PSJA. A last minute comeback effort led by quarterbacks Joe Estrada and Of Navarro was killed by the clock and the game ended Memorial 7. PSJA 6. After suffering their fust loss, the Sophomores were looking for revenge. Their opponent was to be the San Benito Greyhounds, but as in schools all over Texas. House Bdl 72 ravaged the Greyhound Sophomore team so badly that they had to forfeit the game Although they did not play against San Benito. 19 Sophomores helped contribute to a JV victory against San Benito by a score of S7-I2 The next week, the Sophomores face non-district opponent Brownsville Pace. In the first half. Brom-nsvtUe Pace dominated play and took an 8-0 lead into the half. The Sophomores came out determined to make up foe their poor fust half performance. Behind a Ricky Hernandez touchdown the Sophomores closed to within three points of the lead. With )0 seconds left on the clock, the Baby Bears tried a last minute goal to m m the game. The kick by Joe Estrada mas blocked, and with it died the hope for a PSJA victory. When the final buzzer sounded the scoreboard read Pace 8. PSJA 6. After closing to Pace, the Sophomores mere up against Brownsville Porter in their final game of the season The first mutter was scoreless, but as the second quarter progressed, the PSJA Sophomores took charge and scored. Later touchdowns by Abel Garza Martin Hernandez. and Joe Barbarena each contributed to a )0-6 PSJA ROUT.

TO LEAD THE BEARS TO A 6-4 SEASON After a very promising summer, the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Varsity Football team was looking forward to a winning season and possibly even a playoff berth. With Valley legend Charlie Williams at the helm, this idea didn 't seem too far-fetched. The fust game of the season raised hopes even higher as the Bears traveled North to face the Corpus Christ: Ray Texans. Junior Vitro Puente emerged as the game's standout. Puente, who will be returning next year, gained 108 yards on 19 carries and scored two touchdowns The potent passing attack of Luis Gonzalez to Charlie Trevino was also unleashed and helped the Battlin' Bears cross the goal line two more rimes. As the buzzer to end the game sounded, the scoreboard read PSJA 33. Corpus Christi Ray 20. With the first game of the season behind them, the Bears and the rest of the Tri-City Area looked forward to the long anticipated battle with Harlingen. Many people were predicting that the winner of this annual gridiron war would go on to take the District Crown In Valley newspapers heated words between both coaches further heightened the hype of this intense rivalry. Cardinal Coach Jesse Longhofer brought to Pharr a very well prepared team that capitalised on PSJA S inability to score. The Bears had the ball inside the Cardinal 30 yard line three times and each time the Harlingen defense hung tough and held the Bears scoreless Early in the fourth quarter Harlingen running back Ronnie Mason scored to give the Cardinals a 20-13 lead that they would never relinquish Who knows if the Bears had scored on any one of those possessions in Cardinal territory, the outcome of the game might have been different and it might have completely changed the entire season for PSJA. After the Harlingen game, things were downhill for the Bears as they lost three consecutive games to Mission. Me High and eventual District kingpin Edinburg. Coming off the heartbreaking loss to Harlingen, the Bears first traveled to Mission to face the potent passing attack of the Eagles. Mission quarterback Rick Gutierrez and hts corps of backs and receivers proved to be too much for the Bears as they riddled the PSJA defense for over 290 total yards The only score of the game for the Bears came in the form of a Fernando Miranda field goal. The final rally was 14-3 m favor of Mission. The next week, although they were predicted to win. the Bears once again felt the agony of defeat, this time at the hands of a fired up and much improved McHigh football team. Costly mistakes and penalties sidetracked the Bears as they searched for their first district win. The lone touchdown for PSJA came when Luts Gonzalet hit Steve Flores with a 37 yard scoring pass and Fernando Miranda added the extra point The Bear 's fourth consecutive loss was a 13-6 thriller with the State ranked Edinburg Bobcats. Even though the Bears scored only two field goals in the first half, those six points proved to be the only points scored on the Bobcat defense all year. Fans were thinking of an upset as the Bobcats lead by only four points at the half 10-6 The second half turned out to be the Bears downfall however. Bad field position kept the offense from moving the ball and the game ended in Edinburg's favor. 13-6 Following the loss to Edinburg, the Bears hosted the lowly Hanna Eagles, as both teams searched for that elusive first District victory. With a narrow five point. 27-22. victory over the Eagles, the Bears finally proved to everyone that they could play well enough to win. Defensive standouts for the Bears were David Gut far do and Sergio Lope . With their first district win under their belts, the Bears set their sights on the McAllen Memorial Mustangs, their Homecoming night opponents The momentum from their victory the week before must have earned over as the Bears bushwhacked the Mustangs by a score of 16-3- The San Benito Greyhounds would next play host to the Battlin' Bears While the PSJA defensive team held the Valley's leading rusher. Arturo Zapata, to a measly 67 yards Veto Puente ravished the Greyhounds defense for 187 yards. Senior Johnny Moncivais also had an outstanding defensive game and contributed highly to the special teams unit. Chuck Cortez took his first handoff as a varsity player and took the ball across the goal line for a touchdown. PSJA played up to then expectations as they muzzled the Greyhounds 34-7. The Bears team then returned to Pharr to meet a fired up Weslaco Panther ream who had hopes of playing the spoilers on Parent's Night. Quarterback Luis Gonzalez started the game off by connecting with Charlie Trevino for a 68 yard touchdown pass. Early in the second quarter, the damp and dreary weather that moved m ruined any chances of a high scoring game The extremely tough Weslaco team refused to give up hope and kept it close as the Bears walked away with a narrow victory. The final score was PSJA 13. Weslaco 7 The final game of the season found PSJA in Brownsville facing the hapless Porter Cowboys. Once again PSJA running backs found holes in the opposition's defense as Seniors Frank Salazar. Mario Ramirez, and Chuck Cortez each had long runs for touchdowns Vitro Puente, who finished second in the District m rushing with 947 yards provided the rest of the PSJA offense by rushing for 296 yards and scoring four touchdowns. When the buzzer to end the final game of the year sounded, the scoreboard read PSJA 48. Brownsville Porter 0. Although the season did not turn out as most people expected, a 6 and 4 record was nothing to cry about. The season also had many bright spots even though many people faded to notice them. For example, being the only team to score on the awesome Edinburg defense is certainly a distinction any team would love to have. For Senior players pulling together and defeating the Porter Cowboys m what for many was the last football game of their lives will certainly become a fond memory. And for returning players the emergence of such rising stars as Veto Puente. Johny Lopez. Arturo Guayardo. Sergio Lopez, and Isaac Garza brought hope for the future.

There were times when we couldn t stand each other, and times when we couldn't be without each other Through it all. We Kept Our Poise. 1 really enjoyed this year 's stall and only hope that Mr. Rodriguez has this type of staff throughout his long teaching career. While on the subject. 1 wish next year 's editor (whoever it may be) as much luck as he needs and hope that his reign is as great as mine was I leave but only one piece of advice: He a staff member as well as an Editor! 1 really appreciate all the help 1 got from my fellow staff members and even though 1 didn't show it very much. I'm very grateful. I d really like to thank our advisor. Mr. A Rodriguez. Even though we didn't always see eye to eye. 1 really don 't think 1 could have gotten anywhere without his lectures and pats on the back Thanks Again' The job of a yearbook staff is to provide others with memories. Well if by chance we didn t do it with the btxtk itself, we at least have many memories to remember each other by We were like one big. happy family. We had to be. If we weren 't, we would have killed each other. Especially Mr Rod. We did have some gooil times.' 1 would also like to thank all the photographers who contributed pictures to our yearbook. And a special thanks to all the organizations who helped out throughout the year. It was a long, gruling year, and 1 hope we provided memories for everyone with our yearbook. 1 can't believe wo are graduating Seniors. Seems like only yesterday the guys in school were going through seasons of playing with marbles, tops, and football cards. 1 guess it is true what they say Time flies when your having fun. . Now-a-days we go through seasons of playing football, basketball, and baseball. Fun is what we have had. Since we were in elementary. We learned to live with each other at our schools. In a matter of days we must learn to live without John. Russell. Roland. Robert. Yvette. Gaston, and countless of other friends who we have learned to live with. As we go through life we must learn to accept new friends and keep them. I'd like to thank all those friends 1 managed to keep through my school years. First of all. Herman the hoser Mendez thanks Billy Bob for letting me play football in your yard. Ramiro the hoser Suarez thanks for taking me cruising on tenth. 1 still owe you a six pack. To Olga M. thanks for all the great times. To Ana P. thanks for all your advice. 1 might give you some in return. To Fred V. thanks for mx getting on my case because of pages To Jon L. thanks for being there through all my lucky times. 1 don't run out of luck. To my Journalism class I'd like to say that it was a great year for me too. Thanks everybody for all the great times. (Those of you who are reading this and wondering this ain't me well it is.) I'd also like to thank a very very special person who made me understand life. GRACAF., thanks for showing me what caring really is I d also like to thank Mr Rodriguez who let me write this, even though 1 probably didn't deserve it. Thanks Rod 1 love you (like a brother). Also I d like to say 1 love you to all my family. Thanks for Mrs. Cantu for letting me be the Hear Mascot twice. 1 enjoyed it. And for everyone who was part of the class of 86. 1 only say this Buds for you. Take care everybody.

Although for many it was the end. for some it was the beginning, and to oth -ers it meant having to learn it all. Several events swept the halls of PSJA High School marking incredible and unbelievable dramas. The year began with a chill. Several students displayed their talent by attending ever tiring practice sessions. The Bear Band practiced well into the summer heat, like the Bearettes and Cheerleaders, sweating it all off like crazy. The volleyball girls kept hitting the ball again and again. Football players were swept into the hands of head -coach Charlie Williams, who coached the Bears during the 1960's. The Cross Country team kept running around the NOW . . 1985-86 Mazzio's or at Sonic. The student newspaper, The Bear's Tale, at rimes sold out. To many students, it was a treasure, to others it wasn't worth buying. The basketball team couldn't pull off.a district championship, but yet mannaged to have several opponnent upsets. Tragedy struck several students during the Christmas Holidays when one member of the Senior Class was killed in an automobile accident. For many, the loss was tremendous but the encouragement and support by other students was inspiring. Vandalism still plaqued P.S.J.A. High School in every building. The administration building and library were hit hard every time. While the famous Zorro’s managed to constantly mark the restrooms. They put the custodians to work overtime. Even without the valley.
