Exactly what do we have for you. Well, to begin with it wasn ’t easy to get the theme that every yearbook must have in order to have unity. This year our editors are two Varsity Football players and along with other yearbook staff members, all decided to brainstorm and find out what does P.SJ.A. High School have. After hours of endless arguments, discussions, tantrums, a theme was conceived. During the summer the editorial board also came up with a catch phrase to add on the theme. Guess What We’ve Got ... The rest of the theme unifies the book and what the whole student body of P.SJ.A. High School is all about. So what do we have, Pride, Spirit, Memories ... Moments you will never for- get. ” This yearbook will definately be remembered because the staff voted to add more pages not just 16 pages, not Just 32 pages, but 56 more pages; total 336. Hot only more pages were added but 16 more color pages are featured totaling 32 with, a new tradition will continue for the second time, the Senior group picture as a three page fold out. This massive, book is probably the largest high school yearbook in the Valley. The catch phrase was conceived to enhance the as well. So as you look throughout this enormous book, not Just this year but in the future years to come; remember at P.SJ.A. High School 1986-87, guess what we had ... pride, spirit, memories, moments we never forget. IT'S A BIRD, ITS A PLAHE, HO, IT’S MEl A crowd of students gather to see if their mug picture has been put on display by the journalism department. Several pictures were taped on to the slide-in doors that were used in the 1986 yearbook Bear Memories. Pictures were sold for 25 cents but not many photographs were bought. As a result all pictures were thrown away. 4 Introduction BOY, AM I HUHGRY'' Senior Paul Cano appears to be attempting to eat a one dollar bill for lunch. He was counting money for his dance committee during the 4th of July Parade at Archer Park. THE GREEKS ARE BACKI Has Mt. Saint Helens errupted. It is it Great Cesars Ghost?

Introduction 5 CRAZY FROM THE HEAT Ahhhhl That long awaited summer vacation has finally arrived. What! You say there is nothing to do? Well, that is a problem that plaugcd very few Pharr San Juan-Alamo students this year. Prom summer camp to summer school, there was a wide variety of things to do to help pass the time. And you still say there is nothing to do?! Summer school was a popular place to be this summer as people attended class to get ahead or make up that failed class. An estimated 400 people attended the summer sessions which ran through the months of June, July, and August. For those that couldn't stand the sweltering hot Texas weather, the cool comfort of a bowling alley brought much needed relief. With bowling shoes and free game cards in hand. PSJA students invaded Metro and Fiesta Lanes as they searched for that elusive 300 game. Various clubs and organizations around campus, such as the Bearettes and Cheerleaders, were also busy this summer as they attended camps around the state. The Bearettes visited camps in Houston, Edinburg, and Donna, and each time they came away with outstanding results. The Cheerleaders were also successful as they attended the Universal Cheerleader's Association camp in San Marcos, Texas, and came away with the Grand Champ Award. For others, summer was a time to Just relax and have fun. The 4th of July, Texas Sesquicentennial Day, and the Fajita Cookoff gave students the perfect opportunity to do this, as they attended picnics, parties, and barbecues all over the Valley. Other students showed their patriotism in different ways, as did Cross Country runner Iris Garza. Iris helped carry the national Olympic Festival Torch as it crossed the state on It's way to the national Olympic Festival in Houston, not only were these people showing pride in their country and state, but they were having a good time as well. So, as you can see, with all the practicing, bowling, picnicing and partying that was going on this summer. FSJA students were kept pretty busy during those short summer months. A COKE AMD A SMILE. Seniors Sylvia Galvan and Ronnie Balli enjoy a short break during summer school. These were only two of the estimated 400 people who attended the 1986-87 summer session. 6 Crazy From The Meat STEADY now I The Varsity Cheerleaders show intense concentration as they try a stunt in practice. The cheerleader's practice paid off this year as they came away with the Grand Champ Award at UCA Camp. WHAT FORM! Junior Melissa Garza eagerly anticpates what she hopes will be a perfect strike. Hundreds of students flocked to the bowling alleys, making Metro and Fiesta Lanes a popular place to be this summer. ITS COLD IH HEREl Senior Debbie Burciaga goes in for a plunge during a 4th of July Church Fundraiser. Many clubs and organizations participated in the 4th of July Celebration which was held at Archer Fark in McAllen. PAViriG THE WAY - Senior Bearette Major Angie Ramirez steamrolls over new Sophomore members during their annual initiation. This year's initiation took place when the Bearettes attended camp in Donna. Crazy From The Heat 7 CONVOYI The fleet ofFSJA ISD Buses patiently waits in line to transport the huge mass of students. Eventually, every waiting student was driven home by the madhouse on wheels. TM GOnnA BE TARDY!'' This year, a new attendance policy made the halls even more crowded. With no warning bell, doorways were jammed right before the tardy bell would ring. I WANT TO GO HOMEI For those people who didn 't own a car or know someone who did, the wait for the bus was an unwelcome one. Some students had to wait until around 3:45 to Finally catch a ride home. LUNCH? Is it lunchtime. It may or may not be, but either way the hallways are crowded. With over 3000 students attending FSJA, it was hard to find am- elf wUhint OVERCROWDING - MORE THAN JUST A SMALL PROBLEM The bell rings, heralding the end of one class period and the beginning of the next. Almost Immediately, the hallways fill with a mammoth host of students, each rushing to their next class. Bodies are shoved and toes stepped on as walkways arc crowded and ample walking space is made scarce. The aidless sea of people around you seems to come to a standstill every few steps and you wonder how you put up with this inconvenience day after day. Probably the same way3000 other students do; with a lot of patience. After a while it becomes second nature to look rudely at people you don t know who dare get in your way or ruthlessly charge through congested areas to avoid getting stuck between buildings. Being exposed to such conditions on a daily basis can not only make someone less congenial, but also completely oblivious to the fact that a problem really exists. I've been putting up with this since I first got here as a Sophomore and now I'm so used to It that I don't even notice the overcrowding anymore. said Senior Nicheal Alvarez. Lunch was no different from the rest of the day. if not worse. Besides having to stand in the long lines formal at the snack bar and the cashier's booths, students would have to be wary leaving their chairs unattended, lest they suddenly come to life and wander off to furnish a seat for someone else at another table, not to mention the caution one would have to practice to avoid having a tray hazhazardly slammed into you. staining your clothes. The mere act of leaving the cafeteria after the bell rings would at times warrant an Olympic gold medal, what with hordes of ravenous, half-starved students swarming through the doors. 4s tormenting as the problem may be only recently have the powers that be done something about it. A $20 million bond issue was passed in the Spring of 1986. It was to provide t’.S.J.A. with a new high school to aCc'omodatc the Juniors and Seniors, leaving the Sophomores and Prcshmen here at the old high school. However, because both fumls and land arc scarce, the project is being held off. With the student body growing larger year after year, bigger and more serious problems are likely to result in the future. SQUEEZING THROUGHI Junior Rina Ramirez attempts to squeeze through on her way to L building after class. This year the overcrowding problem seemed to get worse as the student population kept growing. Overcrowding 9 BUILDING A PYRAMID OP SPIRIT Senior Andrea Shawn stands atop j toner of spirit during the Porter Cowboy pep-rally. Andrea fell uninjured from the top of the pyramid during the pep-rally warm up only minutes earlier. THE BEAR SPIRIT WITHIN US Senior Milton West masquerades as the Bears mascot during the McAllen Bulldog pep-rally. The Bear i -jj brought to life neekly by a different Senior Class member and traveled nith the cheerleaders to attend the game. RAISING MORE THAN A LITTLE YELL' GO Bears Go!'' Go Home Sophomores!’' Bears are CoooooU” Do any of these chants sound familiar to you? If you've ever been to a Friday afternoon pep-rally, they should. Like in years past, the Seniors ruled the Pep-rallies. Since the First pep-rally, the spirited seniors were in full stride. Led by Milton West Paul Cano, Fidi Orta, Ceasar Salazar, Martin Gil, Johnny Perales, Robert Gauna, the senior bleachers were kept rowdy, loud, and spirited. There were a few instances in which the juniors showed some spirit, but for the most part of the football season, the juniors weren t able to get things going. After five pep-rallies, the sopho- mores finally woke up. Sophomores like Eliud Martinez, Moracio Castillo, and Edgar Salinas showed the seniors that they could be rowdy too. The sophomores added a much needed life to the pep-rallies. After being announced inactive in the beginning of the year, the Osoettes were able to quickly regroup and be ready to perform at the pep-rallies. Because of low membership, the Osoettes did not form a victory line before the football games. For the first time in P.S.J.A. history, Bearettes were led by two majors, Melissa Jimenez and Angie Ramirez. The Bearette officers would dazzle us with their spectacular routines. During the pep-rallies, the Bearettes would also help motivate the students. The mighty Bear Band would keep the bleachers dancing with their sideline music . This Division I band played an important part at the pep-rallies, for they played the fight song and the school song. The cheerleaders played an important role at the pep-rally. Without their carefuly planning and preparation for each pep-rally, there would never had been a pep-rally in the first place. But, without the cooperation of the football team, coaching staff, administration, and entire student body the pep-rallies wouldn’t have been a success. 10 Fep-Rallies SHAKE THOSE HIPS! Senior Bearettes dance away at a pep rally. The Bearettes performed at several rallies throughout the football season. Jun ORS GO CRAZY? The Juniors showed some spirit with a sign of their own, but just couldn't get into the swing of things. This year Mr. H. Sandoval was the only Junior sponsor that showed up to the pep-rallies. STAHD UP AHD HOLLER! The Seniors show their spirit and excitement during the two-bits. This year the Seniors totally dominated the pep-rallies displaying tremendous spirit. LAUGHING IT UP.

The hanging dog helped motivate the P.S.J.A. Bears as they came out victorious against the Bulldogs with a score of 7-0. LOOK THAT KILLS I Junior Tony Palacios (Morgan) is lucky that he is only part of a skit because sophomore Maricela Perez s eyes look as if they could bum a hole right through him. Drama performed several skits throughout the year at the pep-rallies. CATCH THE WAVE I Seniors seemed to have caught the spirit this year and even brought this Max headroom sign. It was originally used for the first Senior group picture. Pep-Rallies 13 AFTER SCHOOL EMPLOYMENT- Senior Adan Munoz closes the door for another customer at H.E.B. in Pharr.

RIFLE INSPECTION- Senior Bob Guajardo explains the proper procedures and positioning of rifles to JROTC cadets. JROTC stayed after school everyday preparing for competition and the football games. IN SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL It's 3pm and its after school. So where do you go now? Home you might say? Well for the majority of PSJA students, many do go home, but for others its the beginning of an extracurricular activity. At 3pm Monday thru Friday education is over for the day for some of the 3000 students. For many, their livelyhood dramatics ly changes afterwards well into the night hours. Even though school starts at 8am and after six hours, students fly off to their own world. Extracurricular activities arc the life of many students because this is what makes the student active. After school activities range from practicing a duet or solo for U.I.L. tournaments, basketball practice. student council meetings, thespians acting out a vital role, journalism writing, class writing, practicing the serve in tennis. T. V. Productions video taping, FFA busy taking care of their animals. OEA students developing their typing skills. KOTC and their military procedures, band members counting their steps in line. DECA students busy at work, and the list of activities goes on and on. Is there always something to do and be part of after school? The answer to this question is up to the student because it's the responsibility, enthusiasm and decision he shc has to make to be a part of. Sure its alot of hard work, time consuming. fun or exciting or then again boring, but afterschool activities are at times the life of a PSJA student. Their commitment, endurance to be active in high school sets an example that they are dynamic. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE- Seniors Sylvia Gonzalez and Lizzy Ramirez show how much desire they have in getting a Division 1 at Pigskin. The twirlers also had to be out there with the band and practice their routine for the judges also.

Seniors nominated five candidates from the senior class during second period on the same day that the Homecoming Queen was nominated. But instead of voting for the new king during class, as done with the queen, the student body was asked to donate money for their favorite candidate. The creation of a homecoming kirtg wasn 't the easiest thii}g ever accomplished by the student body. Senior class officers proposed the idea to senior class members and class sponsors at an early morning meeting. Arguments were heard, views shared and final agreement of having petitions signed reached. Three hundred senior signatures were required to sltow interest In the idea, and finally, with the help of Student Council, the proposition was approved. The approving of the idea was the easy part. The hard part came along with the nomination and counting of votes. At the beginning there was only to be three candidates for the position. but that rule was quickly ammended to make room for two more. The caiKlidatcs were: David Barrera. Arturo Guajardo. Gibby Garza. Milton West and eventual king Vitto Puente. Usually when candidates have been named there will be a special election to choose an overall winner. But because the senior class lacked money in the treasury, an alternate suggestion had to be taken up. The class officers took up Assistant Principals Mr. Ramos' suggestion to elect the king by money votes. Pivc jars were placed on the office counter and the not so democratic election process took place, for one week, students who were in the office and happened to notice the Jars pitched In pennies. dimes and quarters. Little by little two candidates started to pull away from the rest of the Held. When all the money was counted, it came down to Vitto Puente and Milton IVes . with Vitto coming away with a narrow win. On November 7. Vitto was introduced to the people in the stands before the Bears-Hanna Eagle Homecoming Game. Vitto escorted the reigning Homecoming Queen. Lisa Cantu on to mid-field where she would anxiously await, along with the rest of the crowd, to see who would be P.S.J.A.'s next Homecoming Queen and take Vitto s side. Mr. Hey Martinez. TV Productions Teacher, best summed it all up when he said. Vitto is P.S.J.A. s first Homecoming Ring, thus making him Vitto I. With that statement officially started a new tradition, that the Class of 1987 will long be remembered for. I am greatly honored to have been eh sen ns a Homecoming King” candida I feel that such a title will truly enhan the Homecoming spirit! Hopefully tt will be the beginning of an cvcrlasti tradition started by the class of 87. ■ Arturo Guajardo I find that besides being surprised, astonished, and thrilled.

PARENTS- THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND PSJA STUDENTS Parents. You can't live with them, you can't live without them. But no matter how you feel about your parents they are still your guiding light. Throughout our high school years, parents have been there to encourage us, assist us, mend broken hearts, or just be there for us. Those that participate in extra curricular activities depend heavily on their parents. No matter what may be happening winning or losing, the parents will always be there. But you don't have to be involved in U.I.L. sponsored activities in order to depend on parents. They can be turned to for just about anything; a hug, a laugh, or even a cry. So to the parents who gave us the courage and confidence it took to go through with everything, we say THANK YOU and WE LOVE YOU. For without you, our school years and everything associated would be missing something. 25 '...A TREASURE CHEST OE MEMORIES IS MOT ALWAYS FREE.' One of the misconceptions students may have about school is that it is free. Well, other than taxes paid by parents, school Isn't a financial drain. Or is it? The year starts off with student registration. Here, students are expected to pay any fines incurred their previous year and take their picture for the yearbook. Taking the pictures is free, but if one should decide to order them, they 're not cheap. Senior proofs alone ran for five dollars this year and they weren't for framing. That plus the package the student finally decided on. the least of which was twenty dollars, added up to quite a chunk off a student 's budget. Then, of course, come class rings. These precious. little mementos of one's Senior year can be expected to run in excess of two to three hundred dollars. To most Seniors, though, they are a necessity. Oh. let 's not forget Senior shirts! With mo different ones offered this year, many Seniors found out they weren t very good at making choices and ordered both. A variety of T-shirts and jerseys were offered by the many clubs and organizations on campus, all of which were paid for by their respective members. To own a club T-shirt is to belong, to be part of the crowd. Sometimes, belonging can be expensive. The list of student expense goes on and on progressively as the year continues. These expenses may include Senior Jackets, yearbooks, school newspapers, club trips, the Washington tour. Homecoming mums and garters, the belle and beau, the belle and beau pictures. The Prom, more pictures. Senior caps and gowns, and more pictures still! Of course, not all of the above mentioned items artd events will concern the entire student body. However, those students that want more than just an education out of their high school years will find that a treasure chest of memories is not always free. It is entirely up to the student to decide how much money he or she will spend throughout the course of the school year. One student may spend as much as one-thousand dollars while another may spend as little as twenty. The more you decide to spend, the greater the amount of tangible memories you might have, artd the greater the drain on your checkbook. Sure some of these memories might be expensive but they serve to remind us that nothing in life is free. GIVE IT THE GASI Running out of gas was not as uncommon as one might think, as Sophomore Mario Morales found out. Students spent a huge portion of their alloted budget on gas and other important necce-sides Just to get to school. Most students were relieved with the low price of gas this year, which remained near the 80 cent mark. HOMECOMIHG WAS EXPENSIVE. With the price of mums skyrocketing and little nick-nacks for the girls. Just as high, this years Homecoming will be remembered as one of the most expensive in recent years. Homecoming didn't end with the final buzzer. After the game nearly everyone went out to satisfy their hunger. And most couples went to a nice restaurant, which would run the tab into the high 20 s or 30 s, not including the tip. 26 Student Expenses DOLLAR FIFTY, DOLLAR SEVENTY-FIVE ... Not eating in the cafeteria? Well there is only one other place, the snack bar. The snack bar was available to the students, serving mostly hamburgers, sandwiches, chips, candy, and Hi-C drinks. Many students preferred buying lunch at the snack bar. WILL THAT BE CASH OR CHARGE? You have some money, and you want to spend it? Sure, why not. After all thats what money is for. Going to the malls was a favorite spot among the students to spend their allowance. Below is Bearette Selma Alarcon making a tough decision on trying to purchase socks at Mr. Socks at La Flaza Mall. THE BUNCH WENT TO MUNCH- Sophomore Dan-yce Alonso munches away on a slice of Mazzios Fizza on a Saturday Night. Mazzios Fizza along with many other fast food places could depend on a huge cash flow from F.S.J.A. students, especially on weekends, when at some places the price of the food would drop. WHEN E.F. HUTTON TALKS FEOFLE LISTEN. Juniors Roland Soto advises Junior Letty Garcia on how to spend her money wisely on her lunch. While quite a few students worked after school to earn money for their meals, others depended on mom and dad for lunch money. And still others depended on their friends for the price of their food. Student Expenses 27 WEEKENDS WERE MADE FOR School is something to do between weekends. That old cliche holds true for most of the students here at F.S.J.A. And every year its the same kind of students. Those that sit in front of the room listening to the teacher and what he has to offer, and those that sit in the back and wonder who has a date for this Saturday night. But no matter which of these two catagories you fall under, at one time or another you have felt the excitement and thrill of staying out on a Saturday night and not having to worry up early the next morning for school.

SPIRIT in A UNIQUE WAY Pharr-San Juan-Alamo high School has always been known as a school full of pride, spirit, and memories. Our students show this in everything they do. Pride is being a Bear fan and watching seniors Janie Garza, Ronnie Balli, and Myra Zuniga holding hands as they anxiously await the announcing of a Division 7 at the 44th annual Pigskin held at McAllen Memorial Stadium.

CLASS OF 1987 The school song rings softly in our ears, our parents sit proudly in the stands above, and our long time friends are all around us. It has finally arrived, the culmination of twelve long hard years of work-graduation night for the class of 1987. As the mostly nervous, but excited senior turns to glance at the sea of maroon gowns which cover the field, he thinks back to the twelve years which brought him here. At times, it seemed as though this moment would never arrive, but as he grasps his diploma, he realizes that the years have passed all too quickly. Just yesterday, we were getting ready to face the trials and tribulations of elementary school. How, in just a few short months, we will be facing the reality of college life. Some will remain here, while others will leave the Valley to bring their lifetime goals one step closer. Some friendships will be made, others will fade away. Flew faces will take the place of old ones and slowly but surely, those happy high school moments will become nothing but memories within our minds. Every year, a new graduating class passes through the halls of Fharr-SanJuan-Alamo High School. s the years pass, the Class of 1987 will also become nothing but a memory, a memory which we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. Graduation night has come and gone for the Class of '87. The last note of the school song has died out, proud parents have gone home, our final goodbyes have been said, and the tears that earlier stained our graduation gowns have dried. Our lives will never be the same. As the stadium lights die out, so ends the twelve year legacy of the Class of '87, a legacy which will be preserved in our hearts forever.

Arturo stated, As far as this affecting my studies, I don 't think it has an affect at all. I have been able to maintain an above 90 overall average, which I credit to strict self-discipline. Arturo's plans for the future include merely hitting the books, fie has no plans of continuing his athletic career in any way unless a truly excellent opportunity was to develop he says. Organizations such as The national Honor Society and the Mu Alpha Theta Club have considerably helped Arturo develop leadership traits. However football and baseball have brought out the competition spirit in Arturo. Finally being an F.C.A. (Fellowship Christian Athlete) and an all star member has really enhanced Arturo's knowledge. This has also helped Arturo to be able to develop self-confidence and gain pride. My participation in extra urricular activities has probably been derived from my competitive attitude. I always like a challenge. My parents, however, have also played a big roll in pushing me to excel in various organizations. says Arturo.

Richard Paul Ramirez was so deeply influenced that he became one of Pharr-San Juan-Alamos first male cheerleaders since the 1960 s. In the beginning he received some peer pressure. Soon after try outs and being seen at the first football games Richard came out victorious over the pressure. Richard's mother and father backed him up on his decision as other students. When asked on how the girl cheerleaders accepted him. Richard mentioned, The girls seemed to approve of Greg and I being there and also showed fantastic patience in working with us. Richard brought alot of new things to the cheerleading squad, tie would practice countless hours with the squad to perfect his gymnastics and cheers. It all finally paid off at the end. Richard learned something out of cheerleading in the end as he stated: It gave me a chance to learn how to work as a team and face responsibilities.''

The sophomore year brought alot of embarassement and humiliation to all present Juniors; during pep-rallies, during school, at the beginning of school, at football games, and alot of other places. But In the end it was like that old saying. ' If you can t beat them, Join them. And we survived. The Juniors had a lot of fun with this school year. Even though they got hit with TTAS (Texas Teacher Appraisal System) and also the TEAMS Test (Texas Education Asscsmcnt of Minimum Skills) these Juniors found a way to be merry at all times. We got treated with a bit of success. For example, we got to participate or attend the Junior-Senior From, a dance which was a night to remember. We also sponsored the annual Belle Beau Dance. We also witnessed the first Homecoming King in P.S.J.A. s history. All of us then Joined forces with the Seniors and partici- pated in the traditional GO HOME SOPHOMORES campaign. The Seniors in return had grown to respect us as we in return towards the very end of the school year respected the Sophomores, since they were about to become Juniors. Time went by and boy did we party! It seems only yesterday when ive were in elementary, when we had nothing to worry about. Mow the laws got tougher than before and they remain to be changed, for example; our class will be the first to graduate with a total of 21-24 credits to get our diplomas. It 's a good thing the juniors took it with stride or less this year would of been boring. It is true what they say. There 's a pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow. The question is. will we get it? Well, we arc all going to have to wait and see. We all can do it together. IVc saw ourselves growing ever since elementary. and as we enter our Senior year we can look back on our Junior Bear Memories, so it can remind us that we can stand as one and Fight for what we believe. And in the process we can make everything we did in our Junior year all worthwhile. WERE HUMBER OHEl- Actually, its the first issue of the school newspaper.

Some rSJA students ha r parttime Jobs which they themselves chose to have. Many of them have serious problems with their grades and passing the classes. Some, however, selected the clubs DCCA. coop. etc.. In which they receive free class hours to work on their homework before they go to work, fersons who do not have these classes, and work right after school, suffer from long reading assignments, and also when studying for exams. Sergio O. commented. I don t have problems when doing my homework since I only work on weekends. Sergio has worked at the San Juan Follce Department, since the summer of 1986. He Is currently a dispatcher, that Is. he receives the officers incoming calls. I think It will help me in the future, since I plan to be a law enforcement officer, added Sergio Q. Hermlllo Saenz who works at the Fharr H.C.B. stated, no. I don't have problems with my homework, because I never have any. Hermlllo found this Job himself around the last days of Hovember. I sack, but hey. It s better than no Job at all. Milo has this parttime Job only to get an extra flow of cash, but he doesn t think it will help him any because he has decided to enter the Army. So summing It up. students with parttime Jobs consider them to be more of a positive influence than a negative one.

The majority of students who attended F.SJA. do not haw a valid license nor the required insurance, but they can still driw In a safe and elfectiw manner without them. Mien Driwr Education started issuing credits in 1965. many students signed up for the M credit class. Although the purpose of this class is to haw a better understanding of automobiles, their use. and their safety , students haw other personal reasons for having elected this class. Jr. Noe Torres commented. I took this class last year Just so I could have the 10% discount on my Insurance. Jr. Sergio Garcia added. Because I wanted to get my drivers license before the age of 16 In this class, students are given 7 hours of car Instruction In which the teacher guides the student through driving maneuwrs. The students also receive 7 hours car observ ation in which the student is graded for his driving skills. When the students are not driving, they attend class lor the purpose of knowing traffic signs, laws, and regulations. At the end of the semester. If the students passed, they receiw their Vi credit and their driving certificate. George Campos responded.

Miss Pharr was selected October 6 andJunior Celeste Guerra received such an honor. Miss San Juan, Junior Iris Bartimus was selected in March at the Old San Juan Motel, and Miss Alamo, senior Lori Mooks was crowned in February. In all three pageants, all the girls usually feature themselves by modeling clothes, or are asked a series of questions in front of a panel ofjudges, nevertheless, many girls enter such an attraction to receive the title and an honor, and all should deserve it.

They should if you listen to country musk. The song is Cowtown by George Srait. Students here at R.S.J.A. were greatly influenced by this outstanding country singer. Metal heads turned in their drum stkks for Justin Kopers and Rcsistol Hats. Every where you turned there was a George Strait look alike. Their ropers ranged from red to grey and E.SJ.A.'s very own color, maroon. Any color imaginable was seen in the halls. The styles of how students wore their ropers varied. Some of the guys wore their ropers with their pants tucked in and some of the girls wore them with dresses and skirts, but the majority just wore them through the outside. The hats worn by the students were either straw or felt and just like the ropers the hats got lots of attention too. Sometimes, the ropers just couldn t go without the hats. The particular type that was used here at f.S.J.A. a 6 star. 4 inch brim, straw hat. The point is that no matter how you come dressed to school, wether in ropers and cowboy hats or with a bon Jovi T-shirt, the influence of George Srait was everywhere ami it was strong enough to convert many R.S.J.A. students into cowboys. open r ds or Uihlonf Nonna Ramirez Maxine Rendon Sergio Renteria Elisa Reyes Evangcllna Reyes Mario Reyes Reynaldo Reyes Rocl Reyes Ruben Reyes Dcannc Reyna Dora Reyna Javier Reyna Victor Reyna Jesus Rico Gina Riojas John Rigney Mari Rinconcs Mario Rincon Nancy Rios Magin Rivas Torael Rivas Rigoberto Rivera C rise Ida Rocha llcnda Rocha Isabel Rodea Juniors 103 Adrian Rodriguez Alva Rodriguez tie.itrice Rodriguez Belinda Rodriguez Diana Rodriguez Diana Rodriguez Ester Rodriguez Gloria Rodriguez Homer Rodriguez Izclda Rodriguez Javier Rodriguez llavicr Rodriguez Jesus Rodriguez Juan Rodriguez Leo Rodriguez Maria Rodriguez Maria Rodriguez Maria Rodriguez Maria Rodriguez Marlinda Rodriguez Martin Rodriguez Mircida Rodriguez nicolas Rodriguez Oscar Rodriguez Ricardo Rodriguez Sandra Rodriguez Socorro Rodriguez Landa Rolando Alma Rosales Alva Rosales Rolando Rosales Domingo Rosalcz Markela Rosas Rigoberto Rosas Marina Ruiz 104 Juniors Sandra Ruiz San Juanita Ruiz ttcrmilo Saenz Inna Saenz Gabriel Salas Jose Salazar Robert Salazar Ludi Saldana Anna Salinas Amaldo Salinas Brenda Salinas John Salinas Lisa Salinas Lourdes Salinas Faulette Salinas Yadira Salinas Beatrice Sanchez Jorge Sanchez Jose Sanchez Juan Sanchez Luz Sanchez norma Sanchez Rosa Sartchez Salvador Sartchez Thomas Sanchez WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?' test Met test lot tome reason students sre absent more m tome classes thsn m other Hon ot the Undents do present proper eicuses to the odke tor not Attending class Such eicuses range horn problems then heslth to tomphested once situations Other undent ho-eset moke up the most ridiculous eu uses one has eser hesrd rot instance J.

At the snackbar, cafeteria workers prepare daily hot meals for over a thousand students. F.S.J.A. is one of the many high schools that have closed campus during lunch. OVER 1200 SOPHOMORES MAKE UP P.S.J.A. S LARGEST CLASS Sophomores, Sophomores, Sophomores! They are everywhere. An estimated 1200 Sophomores were registered when school began September 1. Like every year, the sophomore class is usually considered the dominating class. Seniors range 800 students, while the middle men, theJuniors are over900. It is nothing new about overcrowding here at P.S.J.A. High School among sophomores. The Sophomores have coped with overcrowding before. So in three years from now, will all 1200 graduate? More than likely there will be more students in the class of 1989. Where are all these students coming from anyway? Pharr-San Juan-Alamo is simply growing in population which is the plain answer. This year, the sophomore class will be a special On the first day of school, A lunch was only 10 minutes long. When the bell rang, was still in line at the snack bar and I wanted to cry because I couldn't take it and I was HUNGRY!!! Cltsr Contreras class for a number of reasons. This class will be the last class to graduate of the 1980's, before a new decade begins. This class will be the last graduating class to graduate from this old campus, since a new high school will be built and in session in 1989 or 1990. This class will also have one of the most memorable yearbooks ever. When they become Seniors, the Fiftieth volume will be published and a possibility of the last yearbook. But only time will tell. The Sophomores put up a fabulous Belle and Beau Dance held on Saturday February 14 in which the dedicated class officers struggled for. Meanwhile, sophomores will struggle and survive despite overcrowding, homework, and last but not least themselves. PATIEMTLY AWAITING? Are they bored, tired, hungry, or dreaming? Mot really. Sophomores Aida Mesquitic and Donald Gonzales sit without a care on the auditorium steps one day after school patiently waiting to be picked up by their parents.

Most drama is performed by actors who impersonate the characters before an audience in a theater.' To students who are enrolled in drama, it is a different life style. Hot many students have the desire to get up on stage and act. but to those that can get up in front of an audience, it means the whole world will look at them to act. Acting out has basic elements; the character, the feeling, and the dialogue. Drama probably gets most of it's effectiveness from its ability to give order and clarity to human experience. The character that is involved in drama involves mainly through speech and behavior. The character must be shaped to fit the role of such pad. Feeling is covered by emotions blended together to act out by expression. The dialogue of drama is massive, meaning the use of language to create the actor or actress. Music is also involved with the dialogue as well as the arrangement of scenery, costumes. makeup, stage lighting and props. In reality drama, is storytelling. It can be either tragedy a comedy or dramatic. What ever the form, students in drama class achieve something; they arc characters that portray expressionism through the love of acting. rVTVKC ACT OK 5 Kjthel Ktmittt And ,‘UrXeU reft t out Uttif role, m Ondtrellj 110 Sophomores Juanita Alvarez Manuel Alvaiado Adriana Alvarez Dora Alvarez Lisa Alvarez Kosa Alvarez Juana Amato Jorge Amaya Gabriela Analdua Kosa Anaya Sandra Anaya Joe Aguilera Maria Aranda Elay Araujo Claudia Arcos Allen Arevalo David Arevalo Eric Arispc Alejandro Arredondo Clement a Arredondo Martin Arredortdo Trkia Arredondo Adriana Avila Tiohemi Avila Grade Ayala Thomas Ay ala Christina Banda Jose Banda ) vonne Ikirbie norma Barboza Sophie Barrego Kovanna Barrera Leroy Barrera Mario Barrienlea Claudio Ikirries Leo Barrioncs Maria Barsenas Luis Bazan Isaac Bazan Carlos Belmares Endina Benavides Tito Benavidez Dalia Bernal Raymond Bernal Elizabeth Blanco Ivonne Blanco Teresa Rodriguez Adan Botina Raul Bravo Alma Delia Briones Esmeralda Briones Arlene Brooks George Browen Gloria Bustamante Sophomores 111 Y cttc Cabrera Esteban Calderon Luis Caldcror Luis Calderon Joe Calvillo Naclhy Campos Magda Campos Miverva Campos Pedro Campos Jesusa Campos Maria Canales Encchella Candenas Anissa Cano tlcnacio Cano Idalia Cano Jaime Cano Adrian Cantu Alicia Cantu Arty Cantu Pliu Cantu Elizabeth Cantu Joan Cantu Laura Cantu Maricruz Cantu Marlin Cantu Moy Cantu Moiscs Cantu riarcedalia Cantu Oziel Cantu Hogelio Cantu Ronaldo Cantu Cecilia Cardenas Araccly Cardona Israel Cardoza Vickie Carlin Lisa Carranza Ludy Carranza Edna Carrasco Joe Carrillo Margrctc Carrillo Rita Carrillo Yvette Casarcs Gerardo Castaneda Danny Castellcia Danny Castellcja Alfredo Castillo Cesar Castillo Edwardo Castillo Esteban Castillo lloracio Castillo Maria Castillo norma Castillo Roy Castillo Sandra Castillo 112 Sophomores DO YOU HAVE APiY MIX FEELINGS? Have you ever talked to someone and that certain person responds rather rudely? Emotions tend to control us sometimes. You never know how a person feels or thinks. Perhaps that certain someone had a personal problem that y ou didn t know about. Emotions differ from person to person. Different people take different actions to control their emotions or feelings, but emotions don 't always have to be sad Some people you may-say are weird. One moment they arc all smiles, the next minute you see them with their heads hung low . Why do students act this way? Is it all part of teen age life? Like we said emotions aren't always caused by something bad. In some instances students may express how they feel, by talking, laughing. and expressions on their faces. Getting accepted to a school where a student wants to attend may bring happiness and a time to rejoice! Students w ho accomplish their goals, like maybe becoming a member of HNS. or Mu Alpha Theta, are also proud students that show positive emotions. Emotions ailed me in doing my best here at I’-SJ-A High; whether they arc physical, mental, or social, said Neman Alanis. Hot everyone shows his or her emotions for many different reasons. Neman added: I don't really express my emotions. I usually try to hide them from people. I don't want them, or any body to worry about me. Well, w hether you express how you feel or not. it Is not important to others.

Sophomores which officially enroll and go through three years of extensive military training, will in no doubt seek a career out of it. ROTC develops students for military leadership. And with it. they Icam several military techniques, such as basic drills, demonstrations. rifle drills, and military leadership.

High school is a totally different story, especially when your bugged or pushed around from the upper classes. With seniors scouring the campus looking for innocent and unsuspecting under classmen, sophomores w ere forced to undergo the annual initiation. Some, sophomores, though, didn't seem to mind very much. Sophomores are usually warned, of how they will be treated, long before they enter high school. A few sophomores were asked how they felt about coming to F.S.J.A. High School artd here Is how they replied: Marissa Garza. It s awesome, and I'm looking forward to beirtg a senior so I can pick on some sophomores. Tania Narvaez: I'd rather be a F.S.J.A. Bear than anything else.

Music generally speaks for itself. It ranges from country music to heavy metal. Everything else may include pop rock, soul music. Jazz and a lot more. At P.S.J.A. High School you may easily detect what every student listens' to. Just by looking at the way they dress. Students wear shirts and imitate or mimic singers, for example students may wear shirts such stars like HA TT. WASP, and IROM MAIDEN. Then on the other hand, there arc those students w ho enjoy going to concerts like George Strait, and Ricky Skaggs. These students not all may drive pick-up trucks and dress like cowboys. What type of music is not important. The question is Why do people listen to music? I listen to music because it relaxes me. when I listen to it and it gives me something to do. said Julie Garza. George Castro responsed. I listen to metal music as a source of relaxation and to associate with my friends. It docsn t matter w hat type of music you listen to. Music is something to do in your spare time. It can serve for many purposes, maybe to forget about an event you aren't too happy about to make you think of that special someone, or just to bang your head against a wall. Whatever your reason is for listening to music, you can bet it is a good one.

Tony is a member of the 411 club. and feels he has learned alot from this great organization. It is a great activity for me to do on my spare time. Through 4-H I 've met many people and seen many places. This year Tony participated at the Donna lamb and sheep expidition. and it turned out to be very successful for him. winning first place with a lamb weighing 125 lbs. Hard work and dedication must have been displayed in Tony's part to become as successful and fortunate as he did. Receiving a total of $1,625 dollars for his lamb, Tony must have been one proud student, knowing that his hard work paid off in the end. When asked how 4-tt would help him in the future he responded: 411 will help me by teaching me good leadership qualities. being in 4-11 for seven year s, Tony had raised poultry and lambs, and hopes to raise a steer next year. rtUZC WlririinG LAMB- Ound Chjmp-sophomofc- Tony Rodrigue proudly show of! his Mte winning Ijmh Blanca Mjrrnolejo Jose Marquez Tlizabeth Martinez Lori Martinez Roberto Martinez Belinda Martinez Abel Martinez Tclipc Martinez Dora Martinez Blind Martinez Anita Mancha Guadalupe Mancha Sandra Mancha Grade Mancias Trank Martinez Gerardo Martinez tlerminia Martinez Imelda Martinez Jesse Martinez Deborah Martinez Jose Martinez Marco Martinez Marcy Martinez Maria Martinez Mary Martinez Mary Ann Martinez Mary Martinez MauriUo Martinez Linda Martinez Michelle Martinez Sophomores 121 EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES' Due to the fact that Mouse Kill 72 came to pass, students have been affected In many different ways. When students came to school this year, they faced another obstacle, only ten absences were allowed each semester. These ten absences must be excused otherwise students were allowed five uncxcused absences before they arc denied credit for any course. Even the danger of losing credit didn't end a lot of the excuses raised by students at f’.S.J.A. It doesn't matter cither way. cause I'm still being sent to the alternative center. says Sophomore Joe A. Garcia. The main reason for this rule of only ten absences or tardies per semester is that students take advantage of the fact that work can be made up. Excuses by law consist of absences resulting from sickness, immediate death or sickness in the family, weather or family problems, and one day for marriage. Excuses By students consist of just not coming to school, loosing track of the time, forgetting it was a school day. or maybe car problems. Excuses were and arc a part of students everyday lives used to get them out of any situation. However, there were those who never made up excuses. Maybe excuses aren't all that bad at times. Sometimes what your saying may be the truth, but for most people excuses usually never work!

The Belle and Beau is a gala event in which school favorites and the prestigious title of Belle and Beau is announced. This Valentine's dance is one important special significance that the sophomore class officer's must contribute. However, it is easier said than done. Without any form of currency. the dance cannot be accomplished. Money is not allocated to the class treasury. so class officer's and members must raise funds from August to January in order to have significant revenue to put up music and decorations. The class officer's along with faculty sponsors set up concession stands at basketball games and sold cookie canisters in order to meet the demands. All work throughout the months was well worth it. because a final accomplishment has been committed; a successful Belle and Beau Dance.

Rcy was elected sophomore class president, and his position was not an easy one. Rut he managed to pull up front because out of 1300 sophomores, he was the leader of the pack. As president, he made major dcsisions on fund raising and other agendas. Committed and dedicated he is. As a Junior varsity basketball player. he put in countless hours In training, thus his team won the district title.

In a close up view of the first Senior group picture, taken on September 26 several seniors shout with tremendousjoy. Every year the Journalism Department sets up with the school photographer to take a picture of the seniors mainly to express themselves. The picture is then selected fora three page fold out. This is the second year that the yearbook staff decided to feature and many students were overwhelmed by the foldout that members decided to continue this as a tradition. FAVORITES AND HONORS HAD TOUGH COMPETITION As tradition has it every high school, all students are given a preference to select their favorites and students themselves are either honored for achievement or deserve recognition for outstanding work. Whatever the credit maybe, PJSA students are always on top of things. Throughout the year students are honored by either teachers, administrators, counselors or community officials. Whether it be the honor of rotary couple, student of the month, who's who among high school students, scholarship winner, students achieved quite a task. Many students are selected based on qualities of leadership, scholastic achievement, community service, and participation in extracurricular activities. Besides all these commendable factors, alot of respect is demonstrated by the students as well. Student favorites on the other hand is different. All PSJA students vote for that person who is something special to them. Of course the majority of students do vote because of popularity. Students elect class favorites. teacher favorites, club favorites and for the first time in history, this year, a homecoming king. This is also an honor. Although only one boy and girl can win as favorites, yet there are also all the candidates that were nominated. All should deserve to win, but of course we all know this is not possible, however, all favorites and honors of PSJA high School have achieved something special, a goal that is outstanding, because of their merit, their high morals, their exhibition, their respect, their self esteem, and most of all their own integrity.

This event provides as much attention as the homecoming activities. The senior class selects girl s and boy's from the senior class. Then the entire student body elects two of the 10 students, which were selected. The announcement of the winners is held at the traditional Belle and Beau Dance. This years Belle and Beau were Andrea Shawn and Gibby Garza. Both Andrea and Gibby were active during their high school years. Andrea was a cheerleader during her 8th and freshman year.

Andrea was a cheerleader in the Junior varsity squad and Gibby played in the Junior varsity team. Andrea was in the varsity cheerleading squad during her Junior year and was a Junior class favorite nominee, along with being in the Cotillian Club. Gibby continued playing football in theJunior varsity team and was elected as Bear’s Tale Beau in 1985. During their senior year, Andrea and Gibby were extremely active.

I was pleasantly surprised that this honor was bestowed upon me. Every senior class elects their favorites. The senior body elected two students, who out did themselves throughout the school year and that were active in all senior activities. This year the senior class elected Diana Marie Ureste and Milton West as Senior Favorites. These two students displayed a lot of pride and were known by all the senior student body.

These students were the ones that displayed alot of spirit during the pep-rally 's and football games. We all remember the custumes they wore, such as the toga at the Weslaco game, the prisoners at the Harlingen game, the M.A.D.R. (Mothers Against Donna Redskins.), and so on. These students motivated the seniors, as well as juniors and sophomores, to get involved in the pep-rally's. Full of joy, pride, crazy-ness, and SPIRIT, they led us all to support the Bear's towards victory. With no doubt in mind they deserve to be King 's and Queen's of Spirit. 150 Favorites And Honors Paul Gonzalez BOY AHD GIRL STATE DELAGATES 1986-87 The American Legion Auxilary and American Legion held an annual youth program. which is Roy and Girl State. Boy 's State is held for educating the students on practical state government operation and the Girl State is held to promote them to practice the responsibilities of a good citizen. This year the Local Tost 101 chose one girl and three boys, all seniors. To represent PSJA, were Elizabeth Ramirez. Robert Guajardo. Paul Gonzalez, and Michael Alvarez. The boys met at the University of Texas in Austin and the Girl State Delegates met at Texas Lutheran College. The students had several guest speakers, one of which was former Governor Mark White. The speakers goal was to give the delegates an understanding of what is to be an American Citizen. Over 950 boys from the state of Texas, learned how the government works by setting up their own mythical fifty first state. They formed parlies and set guidelines. During the week the state had a governor and the legislature was setting state policies and legislation. Being a participant on the Boy and Girl State is beneficial. Students who attend eventually expand their knowledge of how the state government works. Favorites And Honors 151 LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACT I OH.

There are many clubs at P.SJ.A. but everyone has it's own kind of prestigious honor and value. Prom vocational clubs to high honors clubs, all have such distinctive members. There are ten different vocational clubs at P.SJ.A. which provide the student a hand on training opportunity. All have an outstanding leadership as well as active members. The foreign language clubs provided the students a different type of culture while the honor societies such as MMS, and Mu Alpha Theta promoted their members with a sense of responsibility and leadership.

P.SJ.A. held every single club and society to it 's important facet■ dedication and commitment. The members, officers. and sponsors, made their club unique, important and challenging, for this made the education process very worthy for the P.SJ.A. student.

The Key Club had been out of commission for a very long time, up until this present year when two responsible teachers took the privilege in creating this new club, Mr. A. Lopez Sr Mr. G. de la Garza. The Key Club 's first main project was helping out the community with a car wash. This was no ordinary car wash, this a FREE car wash something almost never heard of by any club member. This, for sure was interesting way of gaining money by picking up promises for every car washed. During Christmas the club also donated fifty dollars to the Childrens haven Orphanage of Fharr. When asked what the clubs future plans were. Sponsor G. de la Garza responded, We hope to make the Key Club the top club on campus, and make all other clubs look up at us.

Fresidcnt Fete Zuniga and Vice Fresidcnt Lizzy Ramirez listen intently while members discuss upcoming events for fundraisers. Not much say so was done throughout the first couple of meetings held for the Key club, but as time progressed members openly spoke out what they felt atiout the club in its entirety. Along with the strong help of Mr. Lopez and Mr. 0. de la Garza at times The club progressed as the year went on with more fundraisers and projects to help out the community.

This project in particular was a free car wash to the community from the club to help them out. The free car wash was Just simply washing cars for free but money was later collected by pledges made earlier by Key Club members to other people. This project was an overwhelming success bringing in a slightly large cash value. T CONOCEREIS LA VERDAD, Y ... AirttA onto orncats tot to Right L. RamlreiVtce-RresIdent. tl Rodrigue Chaplain J.

Alpha Omega consists of 35 members and three sponsors: Mr. M. Laber. Mrs. H. Denner, and Mr. J. Guevara. The sponsors listen to any problem the students may have and turn them to the bible.

This feeling was kept In mind throughout the entire season up until the 44th Annual Pigskin Jubilee. Pigskin came around on Saturday. October Ilth. 1966 at McAllen Memorial Stadium. Tradition was again put up to the test. Our fellow members once again resulted In a Superior Division at Pigskin, flours of shouting, screaming sweating agonizing heat reaching into the extreme hundred mark at times during the summer and throughout September and October. This was the setting for the great accomplishment along with words of encouragement from both our exuberous marching drill instructor-Mr. Lddic Puentes and our present band officers (which by the way were all female or the first time in Hand Archives.) The next step for our musicians to climb was the following: All Valley. Area and All State tryouts. The result of our All Valley was an overwhelming thirty-seven members and sixteen of them went to Area. Ending the Area competition came the best of the state, there the number for this prestigious recognition was an astoundirtg eight finalist. Two trips were also made during the spring when the concert band traveled to Houston In April 10 and 11 to attend the annual the Astroworld Band Festival'' for competition. Then on the weeks of May 6-11. the Mighty Bear Band made a wild and exciting trip to Orlando. Florida. There, the wind ensemble band participated In the 1967 all American Musk Festival. This trip is usually taken once every three years with the approval of the school board. An estimated cost of the Florida trip was over $16 thousand. As for our Senior Members, the Unity of everyone on Friday Mights and on Pigskin Might all comes to a closing, with only memories and a Senior Jacket to remember these times of fraternal caring and togetherness amongst their fellow Mighty Bear Band Members. 198667 MIGHTY BEAK BAND FHOfttllffCs Top Row- M.

Fifteen active students made up this club and Fnglish teacher Ms. Julie Bonous. guided the members what the teaching profession is all about. FTA members also received a chance what type of work teachers handle, like grading papers themselves. The club also provided a chance for students to work with teachers in order for them to get a first hand look at the field of teaching. Members participated at a convention held in november in which TSTA (Texas State Teachers Association) members spoke to students on the importance of teachers and their role. rtA MCMBCKS- l eft to Ught- Jonoise Leal.

The JETS emerged again this year at P.S.J.A. after it's three year dormant stage. The future engineers of Pharr-San Juan - Alamo decided to make themselves known by keeping up the tradition of JETS.

Members of the club are all male athletes who participate in football, basketball, track, or baseball. Members for the club arc mostly elected by membership vote. There was only one fundraiser for the year that all members sold; car sun visors printed on it was the PSJ.A mascot. The visors were made out of cardboard and served as a protectiv e device for the cars during hot weather.

The club which is composed of girl athletes, were guided by three sponsors. Coach Mary Isaguirre, Coach Julia Ferez, and Maribel Boghs. The club which is made up of volleyball, basketball, and girls track, met once a week to leam more about the Christian life style. The understanding of Jesus Christ and his teachings was implemented to the members. Several activities were promoted by FCA members, such as, the weekend of chmps, FCA Day, the national Conference Banquet and a Leadership program. Only one fund raiser was com- pleted by the club for the year, which was a success. A banquet which was held with all valley high school FCA clubs was the main attraction for the girls. All in all, the girls made the club a success because all shared one thing, unity amongest each other.' PCA MEMBERS■ Bottom Row-L to R-Lisa Cantu. Myrian Silva. Betty Sali- Grijalde. Rosa Hernandez.

An honorable and respectable organization is one way to describe the present status of F.S.J.A s Student Council. Goals are set each year and once again the council was able to accomplish each one successfully. Thank-you grams, Santa grams, and Cupid grams were among the various fund raisers that helped bring in revenue. Also for a mere $10.50, council members were able to buy a T-shirt which symbolized the part of the presigious organization. Mr. Ramiro Castillo served his 12th year as a sponsor, and first year sponsor Mrs. Beatrice Laurel a.k.a. MOM, helped the council members through out the whole year. One of the biggest things they helped sponsor was a huge over night party Lock-In 86”. Lock-In started at 9:00p.m. Friday, November 5th thru 9:00 a.m. Saturday, November 6th. During the summer a handful of members accompanied the officers to a Leadership Workshop hosted by Texas Lutheran College in Segin, Texas. STUDENT COUNCIL SPONSORS Left to right.

The Lock-In gave students a chance to challenge themselves into staying up all night from 9 p.m. December 5th, to 9 a.m. December 6th 1986, but staying up all night was not the purpose of Lock-In. It gave students a chance to get involved in a school activity that would never be forgotten. Senior Alex Guerra quotes, I found that the speakers made several good points on their topics, I might add, and I think that the Lock-In was for the good of the students and should be made a tradition in the upcoming years. The fact that the convention was held over night only made it more interesting for the students. Mr. Isaac Trevino and Mrs. Sandra Quintanilla, from planned parenthood spoke on the topic of sexual awareness. Dr. Ramiro Ramirez, a noted Psychologist from Harlingen spoke of the teenage problems of suicide and family life and also commented on ways to cope with such problems. Lock-In also featured a dance in the new gym at 3 a.m..-but aside from songs, movies, and dancing. Lock-In was a night for those who attended to remember. nr akc� r wc steerrr Senior Kory Bauer and Senior Victor Veia sit on the steps of the ne-r gym during the dance that Lock-In sponsored lor the students to stay a-ake but it looks tike Kory drdn t mike K. wr CANT TAKE ITI By the end of the comention everyone ms ready to ghe up and sleep but this little nap time ms only temporary The comention sttried Jt 9 p.m and end ed At 9 am Although cteryone ms tired, they made it through the night. % OAncr TIHEI lock in held a dance ku an students -ho attended H -as held In the no- gym at 300 In the morning There ms also music to please eseryones taste from country, to rock, to punk and esen a tittle Spanish music tor those teachers -ho attended rATIEhTLYWAITIhOI As everyone arrived they -ere asked to register and to take a seat and here eseryone —aits patiently -atthing a big screen T.V. -Kh M T V. videos.

This year the Spanish Club consisted of 25 members and 3 sponsors, which had a very successful year. They had many projects such as selling candy and performing dances at r.S.J.A. s Open Mouse. They set goals and achieved them all. Many of the students in the Spanish Club learned alot about their culture and others as well. The sponsors also did a great job this year as they have In the previous years. The clubs main goal was logo to competition and they did. Doing very well and making r.S.J.A. proud of them. The Spanish club also has another name: ran American Student forum or f’ASf. Although this organization might have no names, it is one. The three sponsors which all teach Spanish: Mr. Guevara. Ms. Ruiz. Ms. Castillo, guided all the students that the Spanish culture will never cease, because of our family backgrounds and life style.

One of the most spectacular events that the Thespians put on was the childrens play, CinderellaIt was a great success. The Thespians had over 260 students try out for the play, but only 66 actors and stage crew were needed. The show was an awesome task to put together, but the opening night was a beautiful and magical moment for the Thespians. Mr. Zepeda, Mrs. Doyle, Mr. Gomez, and Mr. Farr really did a fantastic job in making the magical moment come to life. The stage crew put together a beautiful carrage for Cinderella which strode across the stage all in lights; something for everyone to see. The Thespians were very creative in making the beautiful stage props. Along with Drama, the T. V. Production crews were a big part of the children 's play. For the eighth consecutive year, P.S.J.A.

The Bear s Tale stall endured long hours of hard work and frustrating effort to provide more than Just a new spaper. W eekdays and Saturday mornings were the only witnesses of such hard work. It took the main ingredients of all masterpieces, dedication and determination. as the staff managed to uphold the tradition and continued to do the job bestowed upon them just one year ago by the Sr.s. of 86. Being founded In 1937. the Bear's Tale has been around for 49 y ears and. has now become an everlasting part of our great high school. Upholding this years version of proud journalistic work were advisor Mr. .4. Rtxlriguez. who gave the staff a little more than just a class, more than just instruction, he ga c the stall a little bit of his heart to put it all together and come out with a paper that stands alone in quality among others in the valley. Acting as this yeai s editor-in-chief was none oilier than Danny Villareal not only did he assign stories, but was determined In making sure the paper was always ready on time. Rey Rivera was a more than qualified assistant editor. Rey was also a mainstay on the staff, and also provided for better w riting quality and. contributed by giving up his free time on weekends to make sure the paper was laved out properly. Among the many features of the Bear s Talc were the photographs provided by a talented group of photographers including Fete Zuniga. Julie Hollingsworth. Jerry Munoz and Jon Landeros. Spearheading the list of reporters were Srs. Johnny Martinez Jr. and Isaac Garza troth outstanding reporters and talented journalists.

The Bears Tale Staff 235 BROKEN RECORDS, MISSING DEADLINES, BUT STILL THE LARGEST YEARBOOK IN THE VALLEY! Il is cosier said than done! During the summer the editorial board made some decisions to produce rsJA s 48 volume yearbook. Records were also shattered throughout the year, as well as deadlines that were never met. But the thirty member stall produced the largest yearbook in the alley. Three years ago. Bear Memories 1984 held the record lor the most pages 296. rot the p.ist 45 volumes, no other contained so many pages. Not until this year. With tremendous growth ol the school, clubs requesting more pages bigger senior portraits, the editorial board deckled on a 536 page book Another record that was shattered was claimed on December 6. 1986. Six Members broke the record ol stay ing in E-105 lor a total ol a over sixteen hours working on the second deadline. The previous record was fourteen hours set on February 14 1984. the stall leaving at 4 am. The six members left at 5:30 am. Another record that was broken was made on March 5 w hen over 140 people visited Journalism F.-I05 lor Open House. Was It the pictures that were on display that made them come or was it the refreshments that were served. Nevertheless it was another successful event and record. The thirty student staff had a tedious job to do throughout the first six months in order to complete the y earbook by March. How ever. deadlines were never met. the color, the class sections, the advertisement, and the excuses were unbearable. The book was finally completed just before sprirtg break. In the last deadline, members were at each others throats. Missing pages, pictures, contact sheets negatives, writers block was the ultimate last straw. But the stall was made up ol veteran and rookies.

Students contribut- ing to the y earbook stall were hard to Find but they made the effort and dedication; juniors Dennis Cantu and Sandra Martinez helped produce the yearbook. Being a yearbook stall member, each student laced quite a different life style. Yes there were close friendships, love, hate jealously, among one another. However. we all know that at least all of us shared one thing, the yearbook staff produced the largest book ci er so tar. For it is recorded. For it is written.

Danny Villarreal. Jerry Munoz, and editor-in-chief. Johnny Martinez Jr. loaded up Mr. A. Hodriguez blazer and headed to the island city for a week. During the week, the foursome learned different techniques in y earbook style; from lay out design, special effects, to how to write better headlines, copy. captions, and most of all. selecting good photographs. All work wasn't the only game that was played in Galveston. The team toured old Galveston which they took of a dislike and they also went sight seeing around the island. The trip was worthwhile a learning experience, because a new phase was added to the theme, graphics and new layout styles were conceived for the 1987 Bear Memories yearbook.

TOUGH COMFETITIOH OR AH EASY VICTORY FACED EVERY STUDEHT IH THE SPORTS Division. We are making no excuses. We won some and we lost some. When we won. we went out and celebrated until all hours of the night. When we lost, we hung our heads in defeat for a brief moment, and then came back the following game even hungrier for a victory. Like they say. it wasn 't whether you won or lost, but how you played the game. This year. Pharr-San Juan-Alamo athletes gave it their best no matter what sport it was, and that is something worth remembering. From an outstanding varsity football season to an exciting and wild baseball season, Pharr-San Juan-Alamo fans had plenty to cheer about. Besides the varsity levels, both Junior varsity and sophomore teams had ex- I feel secure about our team knowing we are undefeated. When we enter the court it is like God's will that we are going to win. Sr. Hyma Mcmdander (VoHcyhjIlt cellent reasons which should be proof of the winning seasons that are in store for the games to come. What keeps these athletes striving for perfection? It's nothing more than that long standing Pharr-San Juan-Alamo pride which has been built by outstanding teams throughout the years. You can see it in the face of that player making the game saving play, or in the expression of that reserve player who patiently awaits his chance for stardom on the sidelines. 4s senior basketball player Able Vasquez put it. Since PSJA is known to be one of the top schools in the Valley: there is more pressure on us to win and our fans will accept nothing less. Whatever the case may have been, these athletes had enough drive and determination to make their season the best that they could, and that is the most that we can ask of them. REY RIVERA AND RUDY GARZA SFORTS EDITORS 241 LADY BEARS CONQUER DISTRICT 32-5A For the second consecutive year, the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Lady Bears Volleyball team defeated many opponents as they captured the 32-5A District crown.

BEARS CAPTURE FIRST PLAYOFF SPOT SinCE 82 Tabbed as the 1986 District darkhorsc team, the PSJA Bears proved Valley sportswriters wrong as they picked up the runnerup spot in 32-5A. Although many teams would have been proud to have a second place finish, the Bears wanted more as they were virtually robbed of the district crown in the tlariingen game. PSJA started the season on a winning note as they defeated three non-district opponents; the CC Ray Texans. Mctligh Bulldogs, and the Memorial Mustangs. The Bear defense lived up to Its State ranking as they earned the team to three victories. 24-0. 7-0. and 7-0. District play then began and the defense recorded its fourth consecutive shutout In a 240 win over the Brownsville Porter Cowboys. Brownsville Pace then came to town and gave the bears quite a bit of trouble. As the game progressed however. PSJA look the lead and never looked back on their way to a 21-14 victory. The Bears then hit the road and traveled to Weslaco to face a scrappy Panther team. Both teams played a good game and kept It close, but PSJA pulled off a 27-12 victory and heightened their chances for a state playoff berth. PSJA then played host to the San Benito Greyhounds. Two early interceptions by the Bear defense, one for a touchdown by Arturo Guajardo. set the tone for the game as PSJA steam-rolled to a 370 victory. The Cardinals were next on the list as the Bears traveled to tlariingen to compete for the outright 32-5A title. PSJA ran all over the Cardinals, but still lost 7-3. Controversy marred this contest as an apparent Vitto Puente touchdown was disallowed. The touchdown would have given the Bearsa 10-7 lead and probably the game. But the score was denied and It led to PSJA 's eventual loss. The Donna Redskins then had to face the Bears, who had revenge on their minds. PSJA easily made up for their first loss by crushing the Skins 30-0 and assuring themselves a spot in the playoffs. Homecoming night. As the newly crowned queen looked on. PSJA s first ever Homecoming king. Vitto Puente led the Bears to a 20-0 victory over Brownsville Hanna.

ADMINISTRATORS ON CALL BEYOND THEIR DUTIES BEYOhD THE CALL OF DUTY?- The Administration here at P.S.-J.A. is made up of over 200 professional people, many who are dedicated, commited, and are loved. On the other hand, not all make up these emotions. The P.S.-J.A. Administration is certainly dedicated when It comes to education for the nearly 3000 students attending school. From 6:30 a.m. to the dark hours either a faculty member, custodian, administration member, cafeteria worker, counselor, principal, is here teaching, and or taking care of a student for several reasons. Why? What 's the purpose?- The adolescent needs guidance and several faculty members do put up their time and effort and dedicate them- selves to help the student In every which way possible. Faculty members are also committed to their work. Several teachers only teach their subject areas but are either a class sponsor or club advisor. All extracurricular activities that students pertain to are guided by several teachers who are specialized in their field or sponsor the activity to lend a helping hand. When much work is involved In all major or minor activities, teachers and administrators are rewarded by many students by stating a simple token of appreciation; Thank You .

Tress., and Trustees Roel Urea no Ruben Y aguIrrc. and Octaviano Oonzalei The 1986- 87 school year, enrollment was a main concern, an increase of oser 800 students caused overcrowding. A few temporary portable buildings were added to some Jr. High and elementary schools. The school board developed plans to open new campuses around F.SJ.A. among them were a new elementary school In San Juan, a new Jr. High In Alamo and a new High School with a site not yet known. Also in 1986- 87 the school board carried out its Oet-Tough policy with drug abusers, very early in the year. All-in-all. the school board s main Job was to provide an atmosphere students would feel more comfortable with, and also feel more secure about coming to school. They also did everything possible to upgrade the quality of teaching. They did this by putting out a teacher observa lion schedule which put pressure on teachers and challenged their teaching abilities. These issues served to establish a more respectable position lor our school among the other schools in the Valley. The Central CMce Administrator) lot j 986 87 was made up ot from left Hr.

He started out by remodeling the homemaking and art Departments, and has plans for a new patio area and some new landscaping around campus. The students in general feel comfortable with Mr. Alanis as principal. His rules are not very tough and are easy to follow. The dress code, for example, is easy to live with. and is better than in other schools. Mr. Alanis feels that school is for the students not for the administration, therefore, students should not be too restricted on what they wear to school. Mr. Alanis duties include planning, organizing, and evaluation of curriculum and total school programs, selection, supervision. and evaluation of teachers and support staff, budget coordination and fiscal control, responding to and working with central office personnel. enforcement of school board and UIL policies, and meeting with parents and community groups. Mr. Alanis says he feels proud of the students and feels that through hard, honest work they can achieve their goals. The message he gave to the students was I would like for them to work and to try to make my Job easier, and in turn. I can work to make things more pleasant for them here at school. Mr. Alanis also feels that teachers should always be improv ing in their skills. ' better teachers turn out better students.

This year the staff was composed of Mr. Luis Ramos, Mr. Scott Owings, Mr. Adan Farias, Mr. Larry tlaidiman, Mrs. Vangie Abrego. Mrs. Mary Solis, and Mr. Don Quttirrez. These seven individuals worked as a team to provide the students with every benefit possible as far as education was concerned. The assistant principal 's Job this year were involved mainly with teacher assessments, attendance, referrals, scheduling, lesson plans, and discipline management. The assistant principal also dealt with many school crisis, and had the final say-so on many of the school sponsored activities. The assistant principals' were a big part of the administration department which kept the school on its feet, and in the right direction. Mr. Ramos one of the assistant principals left at the beginning of the spring semester to become a principal at Edinburg high School. Decisions. Decisions.

Oralia Tijerina Maria E. Villegas Administration 281 AN AnnEXATIOn TO THE OLD ADMINISTRATION BUILDIHG One of the many changes that happened around campus this year, was the annexation of the new administration building. It 's construction began in mid July of 1986. The main purpose of the administration building was to aiiviate the cramped and overcrowded conditions of the counselors and personnel in E-Building and administration building. The teachers lounges, migrant counselors offices, teacher work rooms, UIL activities office, nurses office, and clinic were all relocated from E-Building to the new building located behind the main office building. The new building was completed Just before the Christmas holidays, making it ready for use with the coming of the new year ..., 1987 . The Administration had been wanting to expand since 1984, when the building was first propposed to the school board. This year, the counselors and all of the personnel received a real nice Christmas present, when the masses moved into their new home. Meanwhile E-Building was reconstructed into classrooms that were a minor, but needed relief to the overcrowding problems the school faced. It was finally a good idea to have all of the Administration in one building, because of better control, and organization. Mr. Adan Farias, As- sistant Principal, said, the concept of having all of the Administrative staff, counselors, and student services together is good . The new building is also an indicator of progress, showing the many changes that have occurred over the course of the years here at F.S.J.A. The Administration showed the community it 's dedication by providing all of the neccesities for the students. Jhe new building was also built for the student body as a more pleasant environment to admire, and also to make it easier for students to find their way to their counselors and other services offered. UNDER COnSTRUCTIom- Structuring was the first step in the construction of the building. The steel structures and roof came right after the foundation. WORKING TOGETHER- From the hot July sun to the freezing winds of December, the construction crew worked to finish the building. SOMETHING NEW TO SOMETHING OLD- The completed building (far right) added beauty to tthe high school campus landscape. HALFWA Y COMPLETED- The walls of the building were erected about mid-August they provided a better idea of what the building would look like. 282 Administration STUDENT TEACHERS TICKING UP THE TRADE-NEW TEACHERS COPE WITH FIRST YEAR- It lakes a very unique person to become a teacher, a person who has the patience and understanding to do the best Job possible During the tall semester, we acquired sU new student from Pan American University.

Teachers basically work to instruct students during the school day. which lasts about seven hours. But does it all end there? no. A teachers work day does not end at three o'clock like most people think. Many of the teachers we see around campus daily, are club sponsors, coaches. or involved with community projects outside school. Many teachers also offer tutoring classes. Teachers also have Mrs. (1. Cantu and Senior cheerleaders Mar-i a fere and Andrea Shaven give Coach Charlie Williams Bear cookies which scr cd as awards (or player o( the week which was selected every t'riday at the pep-rallies which helped get the Bears into the Texas State play offs. to grade papers, average grades, and check up on students that may be failing the course. Teachers strive to make students learn both from their past personal experiences. and by what has been passed on to them by even wiser sources. Teachers do more than Just sit behind a desk and yell; some of them even have the responsibility of being parents themselves. T- i J_I . I Mr. Jose G.

Also during the '86- 87 school year. Texas developed a belter teaching evaluation system called the TTAS. a result there was more paper work for administrators and more pressure on teachers. Teachers were observed by appraisers who passed the state mandated training course and received a certificate showing requirements have been met. Because of House Bill 72 requirements all teachers in the state of Texas were evaluated using the same appraisal system.

Many of us students don't really pay attention to the likes and dislikes of our teachers. We simply think of them as people who arc out to be our slave drivers. Teachers have feelings too. Teachers like respect and admire students that do show it towards them. Teachers also like to have one hundred I percent attendance and likewise in pass- I ing grades from their students. What most teachers dislike about teaching are such tasks as having to put up with students that arc total trouble makers. Some teachers also dislike the fact that this year they were evaluated to prove that they were qualified for a job that they spent four or more years of hard studied college classes to get. Therefore who says teachers don’t have feelings, or opinions? After all without them what would we (the students) do? simgimg in tut KAin? nor rcall yi - Mr. Castillo the J.

The lesson plan provides a well thoughtout, detailed plan for conducting a class. With the teachers plan, the information is available and ready to be adapted to the current situation in which to per- form the lesson. This principle is based on the assumption that different objectives require different analysis, the performance is identified and a matching THE LEARH-ER'' technique is selected. Without the lesson plan, more than likely the objective cannot be understood. Ttit: THinKERI History Instructor. Mr. Trevino looks over for his daily plans in which to conduct his next period class.

Teachers seem to be a little more down-to-earth. Communication with students helps teachers in many ways, there is a wider sense of familiarity between teachers and student thus they get along better. Our teachers have always been that way. Maybe that's the reason why some students become so attached to school. Sometimes talking to our teachers is just like talking to our fellow students which makes things a little easier for us. Students do appreciate and care for their instructors as much as most teachers care for them. All of our teachers should be commended for being there when a problem arises and the students need their understanding. All of the respect may not be shown all of the time, but it was always there and will be for as long as we can remember them in the future. So students should always think: Teachers arc one of a kind. Munching Out Mr. Hector Sandoval. a Biology teacher munches out among the students during A-Lunch. Several teachers enjoyed eating lunch in the cafeteria with students rather than eating in the teacher s lounge. Administration 293 TTAS BENEFICIAL TO TEACHERS, BUT In the past, Texas, has been providing excellent programs for all districts around Texas. One of these programs was House Bill 72 which brought new methods to improve teaching qualities as well as better Texas students. TEC AT (Texas Examination Of Current Administrators and Teachers) on the other hand took teachers by surprise. Humiliated by the proposition, teachers protested against the test, but failed to accomplish anything by it. Texas developed a better teaching evaluation system called the TTAS (Texas Teacher Appraisal System). Coach Bazan said. It will mean lots of paper work for the administrators and more pressure on us teachers. So. what is the TTAS? TTAS, was developed to implement some of House Bill 72 requirements. It was to encourage professional growth, to improve instruction, and to be used for career ladder decisions. According to Assistant Principal Scott Owings the system is to benefit the students as well as the teachers. We already have good teachers ... this system can help make them better teachers ... everyone has room for improvement. said Owings. Mr. Bounous. English department head said, It's in theory, but I do have doubts about it. The appraisers will have a hard time. I guess we're going to have to wait and see. Teachers were observed by appraisers who passed the state mandated training course and received a certificate showing the requirements they met. Because of House Bill 72, all teachers were evaluated using the same appraisal instrument. The appraiser graded the teacher on how they taught and to see if they followed the 71 indicators on the new instrument. The indicators are based on observability, importance given on material, and frequency of teaching BE A BSE HT BELOW EXPECTATION , SE STAHOARD EXPECTA-TIOH , and EQ EXCEPTIOHAL QUALITY . This school year was different. A lot of changes occured. But as Mr. Owings went on to say. We will be seeing a lot of improvements, better teachers, better students, and a better school; making 1986-87 a well remembered school year. LAST MIHUTE ADVISE! J.V.

The library is a wilderness of knowledge Just waiting to be explored the librarians act as guides to some misguided soul who may want to learn or record information from the thousands of books, magazines, and reference books that are available to the students in the library. The library is a place of quiet, a sanctuary where students can go to study in peace and concentrate on what they are doing. The nice surroundings and gentle environment are provided by the five librarians, Mrs. Marquez, Sister Rose, Mrs. Rodriguez, Mrs. Chapa, and Ms. Trejo who keep law and order around the library. The hard work they put in keeping track of all the books, educational materials and A V equipment checked out by teachers, and end of the year inventories, that pays off, not in the eyes of others, but to themselves, because they know they have, over the years, spread knowledge, in one way or another, to thousands of students that have passed through the library. 4 Mrs. Marquez PLEASE DO nor Disrupts Eddie and Ted depended on the quiet and calm surroundings of the library to concentrate on their studies. Mrs. Rodriguez 298 Librarians Mrs. Chapa Mrs. Trejo Mr. Arturo Martinez, Jr. Mr. J.J. Palacios Mr. Homer Pena Ms. Ines Silva Ms. Linda Bazaldua Mrs. Elva Gonzalez and Mr. Jorge Ramirez KEEPING TRACT Can you imagine what keeping count of over three thousand students everyday? Well, it involves seven very busy computer specialists who can keep track of all students every hour, every day of the entire school year. At left is Mrs. Mary Pequetio, one of the computer wizards. She types out information records of daily attendance, individual tardys, and absences. Administration 299 Keeping The Campus As Spotless As Possible!! P.S.-J.A. high School is a large campus and trying to keep it as clean as possible is quite a large task. But thanks to a staff of 17 dedicated and commited custodians the campus is kept up day after day: night after night. The custodians job is not an easy one. Every day there is something different to attend to. The job schedule never concerns mainly one thing. They work five days a week. The custodians hours start bright and early at 7 A.M. and last through out the day and half the night till 11:30 p.m. Their assignment is to keep the rooms clean and functional. The bathrooms and cafeteria are to be properly sanitized. The hallways are swept and moped daily. When students come to school in the morning, they have a clean learning environment. TAKIHG IT EASY- Before going bock to the hjrd ork and sweat. that the school demands, custodians Amadco Martinez. Arturo Fcrcz. Amado Lcos. Leonardo Qrimaido. and Oscar Lopez take a break. Without the Janitors, cleaning the rooms, sleeping the halls, the campus wouldn't be as tidy. The custodians work daily in order to keep the campus clean. THOSE THAT KEEP THE CAMPUS CLEAH are from I to r standing - Amado Leos, Leonardo Qrimaido, Arturo Perez, Ruben Medina, Rosalio Montez, Guadalupe Avalos, Juan Palacios, Sam- uel Lopez, Oscar Lopez Sitting, Adan Farias, Amadeo Martinez, Juan Garza, Anna Luna, Magdalena Belmerez, Maria Trevino, Pio Cuellar, Juan Montez. 300 Administration Cafeteria Staff Provides The Best Quality Of Food! It takes a lot of dedication and committment in order to cook for over30.000 students. Merc at F.S.J.A. high School, the cafeteria staff cooks in large quantities in order to distribute throughout the 20 schools around the district. The staff not only serves lunch for all students but also breakfast. According to Mr. Cano. Director of food Services for the school district. fSJA has the largest distribution in serving breakfast and second in serving lunch. The cafeteria staff must plan, figure. and buy in order to make the operation a success. There arc different shifts that the staff must endure in order for all meals to be distributed. From 5 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., the cafeteria workers are busy in the central kitchen. The school district employs a total of 211 ladies while the high school alone has 82 staff members. Mr. Cano plans all the week menus the entire nine months and says that his staff is very cooperative in order to provide a belter quality of food for all.

Administration 301 BUSinESS FIRMS OF FSJA LEMD A HELFIMG MAMD In this section, selling advertisement is one of the money making projects that helps put the yearbook together. Since the books are very costly, selling advertisement helps a great deal and is very important to both students and employer. Business firms across the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo area, are selected to advertise their place of livelihood. Most advertisers that are selected support the yearbook and school district for a number of reasons; whether it be for moral, beneficial or financial support. In re- turn this will help them with their businesses. Many of the ads that are sold also increases the chance for good school- community relations. And in a way this also helps to being bring out attention between many people not directly associated with the school. Advertisers for the 1986-87 school year were given the option to select their own type style as well as their advertising space. To all the advertisers in the P.S.J.A. area, we (Bear Memories Staff) appreciate your business. ,107 Advertisement JERKY MUNOZ AND SANDRA MARTINEZ Advertisement 303 A D VER TISENEPiT EDITORS Alamo Photo Supply 819 Main St. Alamo, Texas 78516 787-1831 8-5:30 Monday -Friday Quality finishing and supplies 1 Hour Service Available 1 ALAMO SUPPL S.'

Yet for me, there is only one main reason. However, there arc many factors that contribute and constitute the reason: to depend, need, listen, support, instruct, encourage, commit, trust, resolve, devote, and last but not least, love. To depend, this is a must and you can always count on it. To need, this is an obligation; it cannot be avoided as I will always be there for any reason. To listen, it is a form of understanding, cause it's a major communication. To support, is to provide some type of comfort. To instruct, is for the guidance and direction the right way. To encourage. meaning there is hope and I can assure the doors will not close as long as faith is there. To commit, is giving the time of day and making the effort. To trust, an inner belief so strong of confidence that results from endless talks. To resolve, finally making the right decision. To devote, meaning to be as dedicated as possible without any problems. And finally, love, the feelings and emotions that comes straight from the heart. This is not the end. for there arc many more reasons. However. I can only do so much, say so much or understand. The most important aspect of all is, that I am a person with feelings and emotions. Trying to cope with every body for the sake that I was put here on this earth for any reason, is beyond me. nevertheless, as a friend, companion, or colleague. I can only do my best to cope with everybody. A.R. 310 Advertisement We've printed more than one hundred million yearbooks... Thanks to you!

I ruined the film, the pictures have been printed, ive need a photographer. I need more requests. these and aniillion other chants are said daily from September to March in order to get one thing done; the yearbook. These are the photographers and printers in which make up as a team in order to record the history in a given year. Without these students taking pictures, there wouldn 't be any work for yearbook staff members to work with. This year, over 5000 prints were made in order to produce the 336 page yearbook. How much film was used? Hot even an estimate can be given. There were good pictures as well as bad. All photographers arc a mat uers not professionals. They, at least know what it takes to develop film and print a picture. After school, weekends, and countless hours were spent In the darkroom in order to meet deadlines. However, not all of the students were dedicated or committed, nevertheless, they worked during their class time to receive credit. Eleven students were placed in different periods in order to complete assignments, instead of having all of them in one period. The photographers tried to capture the moments throughout the year. And indeed they photographed outstanding scenes! GETTING THE RIGHT APERTURE- photographer Johnny Martinez Jr. who Is also editor-in- chid, managed to take pictures with the best camera available on the market, a canon T 90 . Johnny received the camera as a Christmas gift from his paretus. IS IT THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE?- Second year photographer Pete Zuniga checks the temperature o! the D-76 before developing Trim. Pete Tirst enrolled in photojournalism as a sophomore thus managed to be on the yearbook suit his Junior year and senior year. THE CAMERA IS QUICKER THAN THE EYE DM Jerry Munoz manage to see a Monde blue eyed passing by to take a picture of? As a second year member, Jerry managed to not only t e a photographer but completed fi o other sections of the yearbook faculty and advertisement. HANGING THE PICTURE TO DRY-During deadlines many print requests arc submitted and in order to complete them, senior Jon Lander os. during second period class prints the pictures. 322 Yearbook Photographers DM cn___________________ ADJUSTING Tht ZHLARGCR In second period class, senior tmkr (ion .He adjusts the opening aperature of the enlarger, Cmie mostly printed requests tor the yearbook members to i ork ith Loomn(i rOK A CONTACT Sheer There were out 200 contact sliccts made and many more were either misplaced or lost, however.

Yearbook Photo 'araphers And Printers 323 JOHNNY MARTINEZ JR. CO-ED1TOR-1M-CMIEF Me taught many of the do's and dont's of taking pictures, and I thank him for it. Isaac Garza and I have been good friends since kindergarten, and through the years we have remained close despite several disagreements that we have had. Thanks Isaac. I would like to extend a special thanks to Mrs. Rod, Danny, and Annabelle. Without their full cooperation, the completion of the book would not have been possible, and it probably would have been later than it already was. From Mrs. Rod to Rod. I owe alot to him. Me requested that I come into journalism, and he did alot for me. Me was always there when I wanted to talk and he made a definite impact on my life. So much that I plan to pursue a field in photography. There are two other people who made my final year fun. Jerry Munoz, and Dennis Cantu. These two were always around and between the three of us, we always had fun. They always made me laugh when was down and I appreciate it. Then there was- is Dora. I guess you can call her my high school sweetheart. Together we had alot of strange and unusual fun. She was there forme most of the time with her arms open wide and she hardly ever complained about my unpredictable moods, and I Love her for it. Finally there is my family. Mom, Dad, Eluid, Lili, and Chnssy. They always understood when I had to come to school on weekends and do my work, instead of staying home to finish mowing the lawn. Sometimes they treated me like a stranger because I was hardly ever home, but I think they understood the circumstances. I love You all. I also want to wish the best of luck to the graduating class of1987.1 hope that everyone's dreams come true, and that they be happy the rest of their lives. 324 Bear Memories Editor 1986 87 I never thought I would see the day that I would sit down and type my farewell for the yearbook; for that matter I never thought I would be Editor of the yearbook. These past three years at FSJA have been very instrumental in my preparation for the future. They have given me many memories and friends that I will always hold true to my heart. Mow I got into Journalism, I will never know. One day I was sitting there eating lunch, and the next day I am changing from my computer math class to yearbook class. And my life has not been the same since. One thing that I wanted to do was create a book that many people will always remember. And hopefully we did. We, the yearbook staff, did as much as we could to add life to the book and tried to fulfill as many as your requests as we could. You asked for more pages, so we added 56. You wanted more color, so we added 16 more. You wanted someway to remind you of the fads of these times, so we added features to help remind you of what you used to do and wear, naturally, we couldn't please everyone; but we tried. There are so many people who made a significant impact on my life here at FSJA. And I would like to thank them for it. Eddie Ramirez is a former student at FSJA and is currently employed at Britton 's Fhotos. Eddie took time from his lunch hour, and his nights to help me and Jerry, fine tune our photography. ! f I t SONNY LEE VILLARREAL CO EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Well, it looks like it is time to finally say farewell. Although it is a hard word to say, we all must sooner or later. One thing that I would like to say before leaving is, wish all you future Journalism Junkies good luck. I'm going to tell you that it takes a lot of dedication and hard work in order to put out a good yearbook. So don't let down your teacher and classmates, try your hardest. The first person would like to thank would have to be our advisor, Mr. (Rod) Rodriguez. Thanks for everything Rod and I'm sorry you didn't get the respect that you so much deserved. Another person that I would like to give credit would be Johnny Martinez Jr. he is one of the best Editer-in-Chiefs that will ever come out of F.S.J.A. Johnny thanks for everything. I would also like to thank some of my other friends who contributed greatly to my life Danny, Key, Jaime, Johnny L., Marty S., Esmeralda V. and all the other friends that I have made throughout my twelve years, thanks guys. Although I have named almost everyone in the world, there are three people left that I have yet to mention, but they are the people that mean the most to me. Two of those people are my parents; thanks mom and dad for being the best parents any son would want. Last, but not least, I would like to thank Norma V. Norma I just want to say thanks for everything that you have done for me and to let you know that you are a great person. The final thing that I have to say is good luck and may all you future graduates' treasure your high school year's as much as I did. ANOTHER DAY AT P.S.J.A. IS SUDDENLY HERE The sun is still rising in the eastern shy creating a dull orange horizon which causes a halo lihe glow that seemingly surrourtds the Oso-Dome. The tranquile atmosphere of P.SJ.A. is suddenly broken by the arrival of the first few cars that bring the early birds to their 7 AM class: and another day at P.S.J.A. is suddenly here. Repeatedly, day after day. it 's the same routine. The alarm clock, or mother, which e er the case may be. wakes you up. and with the exception of those who arc able to pop out of bed at a moments notice. It's t ack to bed for what was origanally intended to be only five more minutes of rest, but turns into another half hour. finally after the customary chore of getting dressed and trying to look presentable, it 's of! to do battle with the morning trallic. from the moment a parking space has been located, it becomes a mad dash from the parking lot to the locker, maybe time to talk to some friends, and then its off to first period with the ringing of the 8 o'clock bell. The morning classes arc not too out of the ordinary, and Just an occasional crack by the class clown helps to keep the student s (and some teachersI awake throughout the 55 minute class. But come 11:15 things change drastic ly. A lunch was a mess, said Junior Yvonne Champion. there was never enough room for everyone. It was hard to get a chair, and sometimes I had to sltarc a chair with someone. The overcrowding problem was a harsh reality that students in A lunch noticed the most. There were limes that I actually had to cat w hile standing up. 7 MINUTES TO STUDY- Most students use the time in between classes to socialize, but junior Mary Garza, uses her time creatively. Mere, Mary crams for an English test in Mrs. Jennings class. SMARPFNING MIS MENTAL SKILLS. It appears as if senior Fraud Nunez has a giant brain sharpener on his head. Instead, Frank forgot to do his homework in Mr. R. Castillo s government class. LEARNING COMPUTER SKILLS. Students in Mrs. N. Guajardos. O.E.A. class I earn proper use of a computer for today 's competative secraterial market. Day after day students learned everything from typing business memos to learning how to take letters. 326 Memories You Will Never Forget there Jusi was not enough chairs to go around. said senior fddie Zavala. While A lunch reminds one of a thriving metropolitan area. B lunch can be thought of as a desolate ghost town whose inhabitors had abandoned once the well had run dry. And of course there was C lunch The final lunch ot the day was just that, the final lunch of the day. The students who had riendure an extra hour of class before they were able to satisfy their hunger seemed to ask lor the time more often than not. And when the answer was not what they wanted to hear, frustration would build up. And when frustration builds up. it must be released. And come C lunch students seemed to release their frustration very well, as the high combat rate showed. ' Towards the end of the day. you're klnda burned out mentaly and physical) and all you want to do is go home. said senior Maggie Olivarez. But. most students have to wait until the end of 6th period and the sound of the never too soon but always too late. 5:00 Ik-II to go oft before that opportunity came around, leaving everyone to their own personal devices. The p.irking lot is empty again. Only a few cars of those who are involved in extra-curricular activities remain in the original space they had occupied earlier In the day. but eventually they will be gone too. Soon nightfalls and within 12 hours those alarm clocks will go oft again, the silence w ill once again be broken by the first few cars that bring the earlybirds to their 7 o clock class: and another day at f.S.J.A. is suddenly here. — STEEL ARTIST. Working with steel plate, a student welds for his Metal Trades class. Sparks flew: skin burned and iron was forged together, all for the sake of an education. SELECTING BUMPERSTICKERS. In one of his acts as assistant principal at PSJA, Mr. Luis Ramos, Mrs. A.L. Perez, and Mrs. O. Arrendondo look over the bumper sticker entries. The stickers, an idea imposed by Mr. Ramos, were a promotion gimick to downgrade drugs and glmorize education. I'M SORRY MR. CASTILLO. Although it appears as though senior Pablo Martinez is apologizing to Mr. R. Castillo, he is only asking for advice on a certain problem. Memories You Will never Forget 327 COUNSELOR ASSISTANT. Sorting through schedules day after day can become very boring. But if it s your class, you have no choice. Senior Crysol Villarreal spent her hour alphabetzing student's schedules. VEGATABLE SHOW PREPARATION Colonel Weaver supervises his first period class as they prepare for the annual Pharr Vegatable Show Parade in mid-December. ATTEHDAHCE CHECK. Mr. Arturo Martinez uses the schools attendance computer to record those who were in class or those that weren 't in class. Ttlinn I SHOULD PRESS THIS BUTTOH.

Osoette sponsor. The Osoettes began in the 1960 s and had been performing and supporting the Bears sIikc then. The few Osoettes that lingered managed to appear at the first pep rallies, but after that, the club became inactive. The reasons-the no pass no play rule, grades. Memorial 9th grade girls were not familiar with the club, or as Land) Mendoza said, it is a shame that girls are not willing to give up their time to enjoy such an organization. But the main reason was girl s did not want to sign up. What ever the reason, the club lived up to its evpecta lions. The club phased out. but all the Osoette memories will forever remain.

Memories You Will never Forget 331 MAD MEXICAN SURPRISES ALL AS 14TH DEDICATED TO FRIENDS AND LOVERS There are only two prestigous dances held all year long: The Belle and Beau, and the Prom. The Belle and Beau, 'Triends and Lovers'' held in honor of that loving spirit of St. Valentine's Day, rarely falls on the day it was intended for. Odd as it may be, February 14, fell on a Saturday. Consequently, high schools across the nation jumped at the opportunity of having their sweetheart dance on Valentines' Day. PSJA was no different. The fact that the dance fell on the 14th may have lured many, but the musical guest turned many off. Sophomore class officers chose to go with the Mad Mexican rather than a live band; and students were too excited. the idea of having the Mad Mexican at our Belle and Beau was not the smartest thing in the world, Junior Edna Garza said. Several people expected the Mad Mexican to be all over the place, like on his morning show. Instead he was mellow and laid back, only speaking 4 or 5 different times the whole evening. 7 expected him to be all over the place and ruin the dance for everyone, senior Myra Zuniga said, but overall he was pretty good. While the Mexican kept students entertained throughout the evening, long lines formed outside in the lobby. The lines were for the photographer who was on hand to take pictures of anyone who was willing to pay the mere 5 to 13 dollars the picture man was charging. But who can forget Mr. R. Castillo and his blinding light. Mr. Castillo has made it a habit of recording the various Belle Sr Beaus ’ and this year was no exception. His light attracted students the same way bugs are attracted to a single light on a dark night. Very few people tried to hide from the camera. Mr. Castilo remained on hand to record the whole dance. After the dance had finished most students went on their many ways. Some wnet out to eat, while others when to Mexico where the dancing would continue for another hour or two. rAKTY MOST - The Belle Or Beau would not hate been possible without the sophomore ctt� Odkers.

A dash for the Seniors to graduate, the Juniors to become seniors, and the sophomores to stop being sophomores. At any given time of the school year, students and teachers were going crazy trying to survive. It wasn't easy. Term papers were everywhere, pressure to pass to play mounted on everyone who was involved in extra curricular activities and people were starting to break. Vacations were the only answer to that problem, and whether planned or not. students took as many of them as possible. Eventually that long awaited summer vacation arrived. Bringing to a close one legacy and ushering in a new one which only time would tell if it would be as successful. Leaving us with Pride. Spirit, and Memories. Moments we will never forget ...:.
