We remember decorating the halls and gym for Homecoming '84. Memories of the pep rally, with speaker Burton Lawless, the flag girls performing their routine on the knees, and the Senior skit remain alive. We remember special days such as junior Ring Day, N.H.S. Induction, and the Incoming Freshmen Dance. We also remember the fun times, such as Christmas Bingo, Field Day, Talent Show, and the Planning Days. But as we grow older, we begin to forget the little thingsn that make life at Reicher so special. We forget about the class clown who sends the class into hysterics during a major test or the excuses made up by the contin- ually tardy student. The bus trips to the football games and the conversations after school are put in the backs of our minds. But the main events of Reicher are the events that are most special to us. Everyone in his own mind will remember the school year differently. They will remember the Once in a Lifetime events. The Reicher Talent Show saw the group Fantasy perform for the last time. Brenda Walla, cheerleader mascot, celebrates her last Homecoming. Coach Friedli volleys the ball as the faculty struggles in an attempt to defeat the Seniors. All school leaders take time our for a rest at Cedarbrake. During the four days of snow and ice, Reicher was a lonely place. Football players Keith Vrana, Kyle Connally, Steven jansma, and Glenn McNamara sing the school song.

So, when you look back and laugh and laugh, just remem- ber, it only happened, Once in a Lifetime . Once in a Lifetime 5 -iii Let's Go Crazy Dear Diary, All this week I couldn't stop laughing! Monday I kept talking to everyone's backs because we all dressed with our clothes on backwards! Then on Wednesday I felt like I was Mr. Roger's guest, visiting his little car- toon characters in the neighborhood. Boy, was that a day! Thursday was not like high school at all. It was more like PRE-school with all my friends in baby clothes. It was a blast! The halls were judged after all the hard work we had done. The juniors were first place winners with their medieval stone arch- ways and guards in suits of armour standing at attention on each side ofthe hall. Friday we had mass in St. Louis Church. At the pep rally the Seniors won the spirit stick. Well, Bye for now. P.S.

This was the Homecoming foot- ball game and every play was a crucial one. I lost track of the team's conversation some- where between fake to the right and block to the left . My thoughts had drifted from the football field, I could see the stadium packed with cheering fans. It was impossible to recognize any of the faces, they were like tiny dots in a field of blues and whites, I could though, hear familiar voices yelling Go Blue , Come on Cougars , and Let's go! . I felt a shiver go up my spine. I was so nervous! The cheerleaders were on the track in front of the stands. They were jumping up and down and waving their pompons. I thought about how much they had supported us throughout the season. I needed to thank them some time. My team members were now making their way back to the line of scrimmage. I followed the blue jerseys, slipping and sliding through the mud. I was on the field. The team was lined up ready for play. The quarterback start- ed counting, 23, 32. . .Iwas on the edge. The other team was ready to pounce, and all I wanted to do was squeeze my way through these two three hundred-pound tacklers in front of me, grinding their teeth. 41, HUT!! The quarterback had the ball and was dodging players right and left. I ran like crazy to get out of the way! I knew I was safe, just a couple more plays, and the fourth quarter would be over. As I looked to see who had the ball, I saw it was in the air-HEADED FOR ME!! I lifted my arms and closed my eyes. I actually caught it! I ran and ran and dic1n't stop until the team put me on their shoulders and carried me down the field. I looked at the scoreboard. The time had expired, and we had beaten Houston Luth- eran North. We had won our Homecoming game!! IV. cheerleaders build up spirit during the pep rally, joe Ginnane, Tina Mej ia, and Butch Uptmor participate in the Homecoming mass. Laura Hampel-coming or going?

Up, Up and Away , the theme for the 1984 Reicher Homecoming dance, had students soaring with excite- ment. The Sophomore class used blue and white balloons to surround the backdrop that contained a white wick- er chair and fountain. Thejunior class spent hours of hard work spicing up the gym. Thousands of blue and white streamers hung from the top to the bottom to make the gym appear as a huge tent. During the dance, Homecoming Queen Mary Vese- ly was presented a football autographed by the team. Then Mary and the court had their traditional spotlight dance, followed by many pictures. Byron Ravnell was the night's disc jockey, and Tom Walsh added variety to the dance by performing his own Football Rap song. As the night ended, people left the dance with good spirits and memories of a victorious Homecoming. Mary Vesely was crowned Homecoming Queen of 1984 by last year's winner, Marcena Fadal. Senior atten- dants were Sunny Pisciotta, Patricia Castilleja, and Pa- tricia Leonard. Representing the junior class was Me- lanie Willie. The Sophomore and Freshmen Princesses were Amanda Bradley and Kim Markum.

The idea was for Senior students, when unstructured for three mods, to go to a place in the com- munity where help was needed. According to the results of numerous evaluation sheets, the success was outstanding. The concept of ser- vice as stated by Sister Fran was for students to become more aware of the outside world by working with various types of people. It is evident that we have a service program where students reach out to other people, and that is what we as Christian people are called to do .

Mike lziulvey, Mrs. Audrey Emmet, and Mr. jim Bridges, they had an cpportunity to spend three weeks in Europe. London was the first stop for the eager group. They joined other students from the United States arid were introduced to the tour guide, R-O-B, Rob . The group spent two days shopping and sightseeing, and then unexpectedly ran into the stars of THE LOVE BOAT. From England, the tour traveled to the lovely city of Paris. The language barrier did cause some problems, but the group quickly picked up necessary sayings, such as: Merci , Metro , and Hotel Bern . The next stop was Switzerland, a wonderful country with beautiful mountains and friendly people. Michaelangelo's David was the main attraction in Flor- ence, Italy, with the Gucci store running a close second. In Rome, the students had the unique opportunity to be blessed by the Pope. The Eternal City had many places to discover: St. Peter's Square, the Vatican, the Coloseum, and the Catacombs. The romantic city of Venice, with its winding canals, was the tour's next stop. The day was spent riding the gondolas, eating pizza and ice cream, visiting St. Marks Square, and crossing the Bridge of Sighs. The trip then continued to Austria and Germany, where there was time for last minute shopping. The tired bunch of students arrived home with bags full of souvenirs. But the souvenirs were no comparison to the memories the group brought back with them. Memories of breakfast, Luigi, jambone, Marla, bustrips, Trivial Pursuit, walkmans, and hotel rooms!

It's a time you feel like crawling under a rock, hiding your face, or just looking around to see if anyone else saw. But looking back, we can all laugh at those moments now that they are over! I was reaching for some- thing in class. Then the desk tipped over and boom! The floor was right there in my face. I fell over, desk and all.

It was Mrs. Van Zandt! Trivial Pursuit . . . The game of the 80's that turned everyone into trivia freaks. Reicher students were no ex- ception.

Luxuries such as vid- eo recorders, home computers, microwave ovens, and cordless telephones made life a little easier and more enjoyable. Teens driving their own cars and having their own checking accounts was a sign ofthe changing times. In the Material World, where fads and fashions prevailed, styles expressing individuality were worn by both sexes. Today's fashion is easy- going, relaxed, self- expressive, and a way of saying, Hey world, I'm mein Lauren Looney Girls wore plastic shoes and neon colors, and wearing shoes without socks was the cool thing to do. You could even wear a SCARF when it wasn't cold! 1985 was the year ofhair ribbons, blue-jean jackets, cropped pants, fluorescent outfits, and shady shades. It was also the year for boldness, casualness, and uniqueness. 1985 was the year for Reicher! Reicheis own fashion-the Letterjacket.

It was developed by Kyle Nielsen, and was displayed on the banner. On February 15, the juniors had a special day. This was the day that was set aside so that Fr. Mike could bless their rings during the Mass. The hour-long service was attended by family, friends, and classmates of the ju- nior class. Fr, Mike explained how their rings signified their maturity and all of their won- derful memories of Reicher. Following the Mass, the juniors went to the cafeteria to enjoy a breakfast of rolls, sausages, and cake that was prepared by the Seniors. It was a day that they would never forget. Eric Cotten, Brian Ott, and Julian Castilleja proudly dis- play their newly-blessed rings. Dede Farrar smiles as Sr. Fran places the ring on her finger.

Reicher offered instruction in Catholic theology and supported religious values. The Religion Department encouraged ac- tive participation in religious masses. Throughout the year, each class was responsi- ble for a mass. This included picking out liturgy, songs and readers. Planning these masses provided the student with an opportu- nity to become familiar with the liturgy and books of the Bible. The Thanksgiving Mass WQS ing er. once again held on the gym floor, allow- the students to share food with each oth- Spirits were soaring during Christmas. Each Wednesday morning, the students met in t the he gym for the lighting of a new candle on Advent Wreath. The final mass of the year was the Graduation Mass. After being out of school, the Senior class returned to celebrate IT19. ss with the underclassmen one last time. Class retreats also gave students a chance to participate in the Christian faith. The main objective of the outing was for the students to come closer to themselves, their class- mates, and God. Freshmen and Sophomores took a day for their retreats, whilejuniors and Seniors traveled for overnight stays at Cedar- brake. The Reicher students could truly capture the light with all the religious opportunities given to them. sl: iimmaw 20 Once in a Lifetime ll 5 Ea, ff .MQ LAD At the Graduation Mass, Beabee Garcia waits to offer the 1984 Yearbook, as Sr. Lillian looks on.

Once again Field Day had come. The Seniors were represented by the traditional color of blue, the juniors by red, the Sophomores by pink, and the Fresh- men by purple. There were many events to get involved in. You could participate in volleyball, softball, shoot free-throws, the egg-toss, the frisbee toss, or the three-legged race. Or you could choose track events such as the 2-mile mara- thon or the class 880 sprint relay. The Senior girls won the softball along with their guys. The Sophomore girls won the volleyball as did the Senior guys. The Seniors also won the free-throw contest, the frisbee throw, the three-legged race, the 2-mile mara- thon, and finally the 880-sprint relay. As the end of the day approached, every- one waited to see how they stood against the Seniors. The juniors came in second, the Sophomores in third, and, as usual, the Fresh- men came in last. Therefore, their day ended by cleaning up jj. Kearns stadium as once again the games came to an end for another year. 22 Once In A Lifetime CAD Keith Vrana, jamie Bibby, Tim Tolson, Kyle Connally, Kippy Smith, Chuck Hammonds, and Laura Hampel gather for a group pose between the events of Field Day.

Corrigan . . . that time when a girl can ask that special guy out for a date and not be embarassed. The theme was Under the Big Top and was sponsored by the Seniors. The backdrop was a dart booth filled with stuffed animals as prizes. Bouquets of balloons and giant lollipops were sent to dates. The music was provided by Byron Ravnell of FM100, and he did a great job of keeping everyone moving. The Sound of Music Christmas Tryptich, Christmas Recollec- tions, a Spanish mass . . . The Christmas con- cert given by the band and choir held all these and more. As for the Spring concert, songs such as Symphonic Gershwin, Land Rover March, Song for Winds, and Sir Duke were performed by the bandg while the choir enter- tained with a Simon and Garfunkel melody, Morning Has Broken, and other songs. Both groups of performers had spent many hours preparing their songs. All the hard work paid off as both concerts were tremendous suc- cesses. Both groups should be commended for a job well done, especially Mr. Fletcher and Mrs. Neglia for their direction. 24 Once In A Lifetime CAD Winter Dance jr, Princess Tracy Dulock smells her red rose as she dances with Chant Duplantier, CBD After asking Larry Baird to the Corrigan Dance, Elizabeth DeLeon finds him a great dance partner.

The M.C. of the night was Tom Walsh, last year's winner with his adaptation of New York, New York. The students' originality and creativity captured the interest of the audience. Shannon Bet- tinger performed her own twirling routine, while bands, made up of Freshmen and Seniors, played the popular tunes. The show still had singers and dancers, but each performer displayed his own di- versity and uniqueness. Although prizes were not awarded, all of the participants were winners, for they accomplished their task: to entertain while hav- ing fun. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' Despite the threat of House Bill 72 lingering over their heads, the Seniors and Freshmen managed to work in a planning day at the beginning of the school year to start preparing for upcoming events. The Seniors went to the Field's farm for the plan- ning day. The group discussed fund raisers, the class trip, class t-shirts, Corrigan, and a graduation song. When the work was finished, the Seniors enjoyed hot dogs and hamburgers, played football, rode horses, and tossed horse shoes. St. Mary's Parish Hall was the sight of the Freshmen Planning Day. The group had its first class meeting under newly elected class officers. They discussed class dues, Homecoming events, and shared lunch with class- mates. The day was ended with the election of S.T.C. representatives and the traditional class dance.

' Winner Takes It All Twice this year the Faculty gathered to show the Senior Class all that they knew, at least on the subjects of volleyball and flag football. They plotted and schemed and planned on winning, but the Senior's will to win far out matched that of the faculry's. Showing up in wheelchairs and on crutches at the volleyball game, the faculty soon found that the Seniors took this game seriously. lt was all in fun, howeverg and the game was a close one. The skills ofthe teachers out ofthe classroom certainly impressed the Seniors. Going into overtime, the Senior vs. Faculty football game also proved to be a match of skills. With a handfull of quarterback sneaks and fakes, the Seniors made it two for two in their games against the teachers. After the two resounding victories, the Seniors can only hope that the faculty will have a better chance with the Class of '86.

While some wondered if their hair would look alright, others wondered if they would get back from the District Track Meet on time. Due to the Meet, Prom began at 9:30 and ended at 12:30. The theme of Prom was A Night In Heav- en , and that it was. The backdrop for pic- tures and the decorations were a New York skyline. At 10:30, the court was announced. Lisa Silva was crowned the queen, and Patti Castilleja, Laura Hampel, and Sunny Pisciotta were the attendants. Everybody had a great time dancing to the music or watching the videos as they were shown on a screen. It was truly a Night in Heaven!

This was the sound coming from the school bus as it carried a load of eager Seniors to Six Flags. But despite the threatening noises, the bus plodded slowly along. About halfway to Dal- las, students in the back of the bus spotted black tire treads flying out from underneath the bus. At 2:00 the bus pulled into a station to change its right rear tire. After about 45 minutes the group loaded back into the bus ready to go. Coach Priedli turned the key, ready to head off, only to find the battery had gone dead. Complication after complication followed, and students began to wonder if they'd ever make it to Dallas. The bus finally made it to the park at 6:30, but alas, where were Mrs. Downey and the tickets? While waiting for her arrival, the Sen- iors kept themselves occupied by taking pic- tures and talking about their six hour journey. The blue van pulled into the parking lot around 7:00, and the Reicher Seniors entered the park with a fun-filled night ahead of them. Once in, the class divided up into different groups. Some kids rode the rides, others tried their luck at the games, while still others went to listen to Molly Hatchet in concert. The somewhat-tired group assembled together at 2:00 a.m. to be told they were leaving the park at four on a rented Greyhound bus. For the next two hours the groups finished up the rides and the games. It had been a long day and as the kids loaded up on the bus destined for home, they couldnt help but to think back on the trip up to Dallas. There was a point when they wondered if they'd ever make it. Well, they did, and had a great time! 34 Once in a Lifetime Oh What A Night! Honor's Night was a special night set aside to honor and thank the graduating Seniors for their achievements throughout the year. Starting off the night were two emotional speeches from class Valedictorians janalle Brinkmann and Bryan Dulock about their past four years at Reicher and their future in college. Following the speeches, the class top ten were announced and subject awards were presented. The remainder of the ceremony was spent thanking the students for their hard work in organizations and clubs by present- ing them with medals, certificates, and tro- phies. The awards presentation was conclud- ed with four special awards: Outstanding Christian, All-Around, All-Around Athlete, and Most Spirited. The class then took their places at the altar to sing their class song, Yesterday . After the conclusion, the group proceeded to Grace Foster Hall for a recep- tion given by the junior mothers. Everyone then departed only to return on the following Sunday for their final class activity .

Graduation finally became a reality on May 26, 1985 when the Seniors were official- ly'! out of high school after four years of hard work. Although the day of graduation was a night the Seniors wouldn't forget for a long while, many more memories were gained dur- ing the two weeks prior to graduation. The fact that they were finally leaving Reicher really dawned on the Seniors the last five days of school. On the final day of school, a group rnet atjamie Bibby's house to form a train to school. With horns blasting and ribbons blowing, the chain pulled into the parking lot awakening a bunch of boys who had spent the night on the school grounds in a tent. That Friday night the party- ing started and didn't stop until the week after graduation. The whole two weeks before graduation were filled with parties. You wouldn't think it possible, but the Seniors actually started get- ting partied out towards the end. The parties varied from brunches and lunches to swim parties and pizza parties. Before one knew it, Graduation Mass and Honor's Night had approached. The excite- ment of finally wearing a cap and gown was beyond belief. Graduation had finally come, and the Seniors would be free at last. Walking down the aisle at graduation was the most wonderful feeling. It was as if the Class of '85 was finally receiving the ultimate reward for all their hard work. The Chemical Free Party was held at Lake- wood the night following graduation. Stu- dents swam, watched movies, played raquet- ball and tennis, and chowed down on the scrumptous food donated by various city bu- sinesses. This event marked the final get-tO' gether for the Seniors. They were now free. Free to go out and meet life's challenges.

This song by Queen best illustrates the spirit of the Reicher athletic teams throughout the year. Strong motivation and will-power inspired the Cougars, who met new challenges with continuous determination. The teams approached, met, and con- quered these challenges on their way to one of the best athletic years Reicher has seen. The real champions, however, were the individual players who gave up hours during the season to practice in order to sharpen their skills. Dedication was the key factor in the making of all these players. The players who stayed after practice working on drills and plays were the ones who helped bring their teams to victories. The coaches were also champions in their own right. Patience, support, and a desire to win were qualities possessed by all the Reicher coaches. They paid special attention to players who were having difficulties and offered numerous amounts of advice. Hours were spent observing other teams, watching films, and planning strate- gies. After all the individuals had contributed their efforts, the team was ready to face opponents. Then at the end of the game, despite the outcome, the team could call themselves Champs. 38 We Are The Champions 1- SOCCER: State Champions J. Civa-All-State W. Koenigs-All-State P.

On August 14th the girls started two-a-day practices, lasting from 7:50 until 10:00 in the morning, and from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. During this time, they worked on rolls, dives, jumps, and bumps. They learned how to dig up spikes from the ever-popular Grass Root Drill. Coach Carole Bartasek and Assistant Coach Marilyn Ludt stressed the basic fundamentals. Two-a- days lasted for one week. Each girl was observed during this time and assigned a certain position. The team 42 We Are the Champions setters learned shoot sets, short sets, and prac- ticed to improve their skills. As an incentive for the girls to work harder, those who made the team were given personalized volleyballs to use during the season. As Coach Bartasek stated: Iris a way for their names to linger on after they have graduated. Team members also purchased monogrammed towels to bring their team closer together. The Cougars placed second in the district competition in Halletsville, Texas. Out of the five matches played, the girls lost only twice to Sacred Heart. Playing Volleyball definitely involves making sacrifices. It is two-a-days, running back to class after a hard workout, and late afternoon practices. But it is worth all of the effort.

You find yourself sitting half- way in your seat, pulling out your hair strand by strand. With Ben Smith as coach of the Cougar team, the boys managed some terrific victories among the toughest of teams. Their hard work and practices paid off when the boys clinched second place at District this year. Those exciting moments will long be re- membered by those who attended the games. But no one but the players themselves can best tell us about the exciting moments when the heat was on. The most exciting moment for me was when we were playing Halletsville in a Dis- trict game and I had injured my knee and Brian Ott replaced me. We were up by one 44 We Are The Champions and there were 7 seconds remaining on the clock. I was sitting on the bench when they attempted their last shot. Brian intercepted the ball and we held on for a victory. Gabe Valdez, Senior. My most exciting moment in this season was when Senior Tom Walsh sunk a last sec- ond shot from 35 feet out against China Spring to send the game into overtime. We later went on to defeat the Cougars and take consolation at the Whitney-Classic Tourna- ment. Brian Ott, junior.

These all sound like terms from a space movieg but in reality, these were drills used in the practices ofthe Girls' Varsity Basketball team. The girls reached their peak this season under the rigorous training of Coach Carole Bartasek and assistant Coach Emmer Lott. Practices were long and hard, and at times lasted from two to three hours a day. But their hard training and long practices gave the girls valuable game skills. They went to dis- trict play with the goal of reaching State, but their plans were foiled by the teams of Bishop Forest and Sacred Heart. The Cougars fought 46 We Are the Champions hard and left their mark at district by clinch- ing second place. This win gave them just a little bit ofthe sweet taste of Victory.

Action was the name of the game in base- ball. A sport which required concentration, nerve, and skill, baseball was one of the toughest sports at Reicher. It was also one of the most popular. Under the guidance of Coach Majeski, many Reicher students devel- oped and improved their skills. Putting these skills to use against such teams as Bruceville-Eddy, the Cougars found that their team had an edge over their opponent. Base hits, bunts, and slides were not all that 48 We Are the Champions was necessary for winning, however. Team- work and team spirit were also important ingredients which helped carry the team to the district playoffs. District playoffs were scheduled a bit differently this year than in the past. Instead of having all the teams meet at one field, the four other teams in Reicher's district, Sacred Heart, St. Paul, Bishop For- rest, and St.joseph played their own tourna- ment. The winner of that tournament, Victo- ria-Stjoseph, played Reicher for the district championship in a two-out-of-three games series. The first game was played at the Mis- sions Recreation Park Field, the second in Victoria, and the third on neutral territory in Brenham. Plagued by errors, the Cougars lost to the Flyers. Taking second in the district, the team was not able to advance to state, but they did go down swingin'! I've enjoyed baseball at Reicher and feel that mak- ing All-State is a fitting end.

Anyone who was around while the girls took batting practice could always hear Coach Estrada say, Come on, whip the bat around, don't swing it! Coach Leonard Es- trada was always trying to help the girls im- prove themselves and it finally paid off. This year's softball team, just three years old, won the District ZAAA Softball Tournament. The girls then went on to compete in Bi-District play against Houston St. Pius in a 2 out of 3 game series. They lost the first game, but the next day, they learned that Wichita Falls Notre Dame had dropped out so they auto- matically advanced to the State play-offs. During the State Tournament, Robert At- kins, also a Reicher graduate, served as the 50 We Are the Champions Assistant Coach, due to Steve Besa's absence. On May 2, the girls set out for Houston with their first game against St. Pius. They got their revenge with a 6-5 victory. Next they played Galveston O'Connell, but fell short with a 6-7 loss, which meant they would again play St. Pius to see who would advance to the finals. Reicher won the toss and elected to be home team. Unfortunately, Reicher never had the lead. They tied it up several times but could never manage to pull ahead, and St. Pius went on to win 7-5. The girls placed third overall in the State Competition, a consider- able improvement from last year. Seleena George and Brenda Walla were named all tournament players. They made a great bat- tery together. With the loss of five Seniors, the returning team will have to work extra hard to keep the reputation Reicher earned this year. We wish them the best of luck!

I feel the Dallas Greenhill game was a turning point in our season. At that point we were 1-1-2. The Greenhill game really built the kids' confidence in their ability to play against the big boys. COACH RICHARD FRIEDLI H . yrr t,tys i f Ain't NO Stoppin' NOW The Cougars' soccer team certainly lived up to their reputation when they took home the State Championship title earlier this year. They accumulated many victories through- out the season by defeating large schools such as Richfield, Nolan, and Greenhill. Suffering their only loss to Dallas Jesuit did not spoil the Cougars' winning record. Their highest scores of the season came against District foe, Wichita Falls Notre Dame, 7-0 and 6-0, to clinch the district championship and advance to the State Semi- finals. The Cougars overcame a tough Hous- ton Lutheran South team, winning 4-1 in the semis. Reicher had now kicked its way into the State Championship match against St. Anthony's out of San Antonio. With the encouragement of Coach Friedli and a taste for winning, Reicher battled for 52 We Are The Champions the Championship title and won 2-1. Coach Friedli prepared the team mentally as well as physically with support and interest in every player. For a soccer career which had started only a year ago, Richard Friedli now had the State Championship to show for his and the team's hard work and dedication. Most of the players had played together for over nine years. The State Championship title was an award that they had dreamed about as fifth graders. Five members were named to the All-State squad for their excep- tional play throughout the year. jackie Civa, Paul Dvoracek, Stevenjansma, Walter Koen- igs, and David McTaggart were selected from the many outstanding players in the league.

As with every sport, they all had to start slowly and work their way up to the heavy lifts. They didn't just start out able to lift 465 lbs. Every lifter knew his own ability and planned his workout accordingly. Unlike football, soc- cer, or baseball, powerlifting is an individual sport. It was up to the athlete as to how far he would go. He was definitely not alone, how- ever. Support was a key term for this group. Whether at practice or a meet, shouts of en- couragement were always heard from the weight room. In this sense, the powerlifters really worked as a team to push each one of its individual members. Let's Hear It For The Boy Yes, cross country runners should get an extra round of applause. A special type of athlete, these boys must have stamina, endur- ance, and devotion. Not too many people can, or want to, start a race that they know will not end for nineteen minutes. Covering a distance of three miles, the runner had to have extensive conditioning for his race. This meant very long and very hard practices. A daily practice meant running seven or eight miles. The runners did not confine them- selves to the track either. The road from the airport to Reicher is very well known by every cross country runner-every hill and every curve. Letls hear it for these boys be- cause, as the saying goes: the race is not always to the swiftest, but to the one who keeps running. QAJ As officials look on, Kyle Aleman attempts a clean lift.

Ask anyone who plays tennis and he'll tell you that love is his favorite score for his opponent. This year's team, coached by York Strother andjeff Herr, made remarkable pro- gress. Throughout the year, they competed against schools such as Vanguard, jeff- Moore, Richfield, Waco High, Robinson, McGregor, and Temple. They were also invit- ed to play in the Fall and Spring WISD Invita- tional Tennis Tournament, where they made strong showings. The final big event of the year was the TCIL State Tennis Tournament 58 We Are the Champions hosted by Reicher at Sul Ross Tennis Center. The boys' team finished first, while the girls came in second behind Beaumont Kelly. Mike Castillo was appropriately seeded first, as he won singles for the third year. His sister Mary Lou was seeded number two for the girls, but in the finals, Lou upset number one seed Nicole La Chuisa, who beat Lou two years ago for first place, to take the title. Amy Falcone and Liz Muldrow upset the number two doubles team to advance to the finals where they were defeated. Adam Le Crone and Mike Appel lost in the semi-finals, as did David Strauss in singles. Scott Vrana and Kevin Gibson lost in the Consolation finals. Laura and Lisa Van Horne lost in the second round, but not before earning a point the first round, as did Mindy McClinton in Singles.

Volleyball and basketball are two such sports at Reicher. Participants in these sports usually start at the junior Varsity level, but in some cases an overflow of members make it possi- ble to have a Freshman team as well. This was the case in Volleyball for 1984. As Freshmen just learning the sport of volleyball, team members were taught the correct positions for bumping and setting. On the JV level, bumping, setting, and spiking were practiced until they could be done with ease. As their skills improved, their hopes of making the Varsity squad improved. -,, JUNIOR VARSITY: Kim Aleman, Lisa Burt, Coach Bartasek, Emily Beitia, Amy Falcone, Cfront rowj Melinda Burnett, Leslie Chavez, and Christine Vesely.

Before the dream of making Varsity can become reality, there are many different obstacles to faceg strenuous practices, ex- hausting games, and a lot of growing-both in size and ability. The hardest parts of grow- ing were learning to accept criticism, over- coming embarrassment when fouling or making a penalty, or falling flat on your face in front of family and friends. For those who did not accept all of these, it was time to give up, but for others it was a time to push all the way to the top. This is what made the junior Varsity so special, they kept pushing towards that goal. 4C DV jUNIOR VARSITY: Dede Farrar fmanagerl, Kelly Walsh, Amanda Bradley, Coach Barta- sek, Lauren Looney, Priya Mathew, Laura Erkfitz, and Sonja Silva fmanagerl.

The first man built a fine house by the beach, the second built a basic frame house in the mountains. Now although the house by the beach was much more magnificent than the one by the mountains, it had a tremendously weak foun- dation due to the soft sand. This house soon collapsed, while the house built on solid foundation lasted a long time. The coaches of thejunior Varsity Football and Basketball teams must have had this sto- ry in mind when preparing the teams for the '84-T85 season. Both teams this year concen- trated onthe basic skills for a winning season. With a strong foundation the team players could continue on to play varsity next year. The varsity team was much like the finished houses, they were judged by their appearance but a weak foundation could easily fail. The foundation of the house had to be strong and well planned to keep it looking beautiful. This was the case of the j.V. players. They worked hard at practices and scrimmages, knowing that one day they would be the admired finished product. The foundation of the j.V. team proved to be very solid. j.V.

The crowd tends to follow the Varsi- ty sports and doesn't even realize that there is a j.V. team, let alone a Freshmen team. Ever since soccer came to Reicher four years ago, it has rounded up a great deal of interest among the students. This year so many boys wanted to participate that three teams had to be formed. The j.V. and Fresh- men teams were very active, playing a number of strong teams this year. Although they didn't travel as much as the Varsity, their games were just as important. The Freshmen won the '85 W.I.S.D. championship title and somehow managed an upset victory in a game against the Reicherj.V. But this victory didn't mean they were better, just that the luck was with them that day! Either way it went, the teams never surrendered. The j.V. baseball team was another team that was almost forgotten about. These play- ers were very dedicated, working out after school and during spring break. The boys never seemed to surrender, for they kept on fighting until the end of a game, no matter what the score was. They managed some great victories against tough teams and worked throughout the season bettering their skills, which in turn bettered the season. -I.V.

They all helped bring a person into the spotlight, bring about the building of character in every student who participated. As stated by Priya Mathew, Speech class really helped a lot, not only because of being nervous as a Freshman, but also just being in front of new people. Mrs. Neglia especially helped us in expressing our- selves to get our meaning across. This was not only heard about Speech class. Art stu- dents had to present their ideas and wait for them to be accepted or rejected. Choir stu- dents had to build enough self-confidence to perform before an audience. They all had to give a piece of themselves for the sake of entertainment. For this they should all receive a round of applause. Voices Carry The students in Speech and Chorus really found a way to get their voices across. Speech class provided an opportunity for students to participate and perform in all areas of speech and drama, including debate, extemporane- ous speaking, oratory, oral interpretation duet acting, and solo acting. Not only per- forming the work of others, students were also instructed in writing their own material. Instructions ranged from how to stand to v where to place the emphasis on certain words. Choir on the other hand, was aimed towards educating the students in the appreciation and understanding of music. All students learned correct vocal technique, breath con- 68 Once in a Lifetime trol, articulation, musical dynamics, concen- tration, and listening . . . all used by the best instrument ever created: the human voice! The students learned that music could be a means of self and artistic expression. The Rainbow Connection This year, art was offered to the Freshmen for the first time. This was beneficial, as much talent was found in our Freshmen. Their Fine Arts class basically covered the different fields of media such as pencil, charcoal, pas- tels, some painting, pen and ink, and at the end of the year some ceramics. Pastels seemed to be the favorite media, with ceram- ics running a close second. Most work done in ceramics was greenware, however some lucky students had enough time to have theirs fired. The Art class was tailored to individual student's needs and interests, stressing refinement of both concepts and techniques. All students had to have a com- mitment to their work and a desire to pro- duce. Much time was spent out of the class- room in order to plan and design new works. This required much self motivation and inter- est. The majority of the Senior Art students even developed their own portfolios. Art real- ly gave the students a chance to let them- selves go and be creative, to get away from the real world. we D P CAJ Before continuing with his project, Bobbyjoejohn- son takes a break in Fine Arts.

As Fresh- men all students are given a better under- standing of the beginning of our religion by studying the Old and New Testaments. The class presented God as a loving God striving to re-establish a relationship of love with His people and revealing who He is to them as He enters their history time and time again. Ap- proximately nineteen books of the Old Testa- ment were covered and an introduction to the New Testament. With this course the stu- dents became comfortable in using the Bible to strengthen their faith and to help them pray, fostering in them a love of the Scrip- tures as the word of God, alive and dynamic. Narrowing in on God in our lives today, the Sophomores focused on the life and love between the persons of the Trinity and how humanity has been included in this circle of love. The twofold effect of the sacraments was taught: the communication of the life and love of the Father which makes us Sons of God and, secondly, the challenge to re- spond to His love through service, making us in a real way Priestly People. Christian Morality is based on the principal belief that all men are created in the image and likeness of God, thereby having dignity and deserving respect by virtue of their birth. It was taught that to believe in this principal was faith, to act accordingly is morality. This course presented the juniors with morality, what it is based on, and the teachings of the Church on current moral issues. Topics such felt Q, ?ZZ:.,l,ifym....r.,4t4,w f rata will f ,li A fi If T lla 1 2 i 1' .l g-lf 1 vo You Might Think F, as sin, law, and human rights were discussed. One of the main outcomes of this class was the realization by the students that all human beings have a claim upon the goods of hu- man life. As Seniors, students soon became accus- tomed to changes, even in Religion classes. The first religious study as a Senior took up a topic at first considered gruesome: death and dying. This course helped Seniors deal with many questions concerning death and they actually had a clearer understanding of the necessity of death in relation to the fullness of life. The conclusion of this class was that death can never be victorious when viewed in the light of the resurrection. The second study of the Seniors was on Christian voca- tions and lifestyles. Communication and rela- tionships with parents and peers were ex- plored along with thoughts and feelings about marriage, children, and family. The place of romantic love, sex, and sexuality in man-woman relationships was also explored. This in turn brought the student to a deeper awareness of himself, his moralities, and ap- preciation of marriage as a living sacrament of the Church.

What do all of these have in common? They are all included in the science curricu- lum at Reicher. The first science that a stu- dent becomes involved in is Biology. This is followed by either Physical Science or else by Chemistry. The final study of science at Reicher is Physics. Biology and Physical Science were both taught by Mrs. VanZandt. In Physics and Chemistry the students were able to exper- ience the teaching methods of two different teachers. The first semester was taught by Mr. Lakeg then, after his retirement, Mr. Stoker completed the year. Although we were sorry to loose Mr. Lake, we were happy to gain Mr. Stoker. With Mrs. VanZandt, Sophomores were amazed by the process of photosynthesis, the growth of bacteria, and the different systems of the worm. To culminate the year, the stu- dents were challenged with the dissection of a fetal pig. This is the most vivid memory of every Biology student. At the next step in scientific study, the juniors were asked to choose between Phys- ical Science and Chemistry. Physical Science actually gave the students a taste of both Chemistry and Physics. Newton's Law of Motion, wave motion, the Periodic Table and chemical reactions were all included in this class. On the Chemistry route, the course was taught as a college preparatory class. The 72 You Might Think topics covered included atomic structure, pe- riodic arrangement, states of matter, and equations. One of the many experiments per- formed was the making of pure oxygen, As the last plateau, the students were en- couraged to continue on with Physics as Sen- iors. Those who did were faced with topics in heat, light and electricity. The concepts of problem solving and vector analysis were widely emphasized. A very demanding course, Physics relied on the ability of the students to apply themselves and work. Satis- faction came to many however, as they came to understand topics which first seemed in- comprehensible. Although these four courses covered dis- tinctly different areas, they all had the same outcome: they all taught the students to think in a logical way and to pursue their individual interests.

With determined efforts and careful instruction, most of the math students finally displayed their problems and viewed the welcome out of data across their CRT's. Consumer Math was taught by Mrs. Lauck and Mrs. VanZandt. Students learned how to apply mathematics to everyday experiences. Algebra I and Geometry were both taught by Mrs. Emmet. In Algebra I, students were rea- quainted with the first eight years of math- ematics which were incorporated into a study of fractions, sets, and rational and irrational numbers. Geometry was a course designed to teach students how to think logically by us- ing inductive and deductive reasoning. Alge- bra II and Computer Science were taught by Sr. Deborah. Algebra II expounded on the concepts of Algebra I in which students learned how to solve more difficult equa- tions, linear inequalities and functions. Com- puter Science enabled students to operate a computer terminal and write computer pro- grams. Trigonometry and Advanced Topics in Math were taught by Mrs. Lauck.

Every Freshman started his climb up the Eng- lish ladder with English I. Not only covering the basic English skills in grammar and sen- tence structure, the students were also intro- duced to the short story, the play, the poem, and the short novel. In this class the student also started the first of four required research papers. At the second step of English, a study of American literature brought new authors to the student. Interpretation of difficult lit- erature was a practiced skill in this class, along with grammar, composition, vocabu- lary, and research. After studying American Literature,Juniors began a study of the Eng- lish Literature. They read many stories rang- ing from average to difficult, namely BEO- WULF. Sentence structure, essay construction, and an overview of the research paper were all emphasized. The required Sen- ior English course was Writing and Research Lasting one semester, this course's aim was to teach the principles of effective writing Taught as a writing lab, students were expect ed to write, revise, and edit during the class period. The skills presented to the students were to read critically, to think clearly, to write clearly and precisely, to use a library for research purposes, and to write and docu- ment the dreaded research paper. For the sec- ond semester, three English elective courses were offered: Fantasy and Science Fiction, 76 You Might Think Major World Writers, and Modern Drama and a History of the Theater. Fantasy and Science Fiction involved the reading and analysis of legend, fantasy, and science fic- tion in the historical and futuristic sense. Au- thors such as Mary Stewart, j.R.R. Tolkien, and Isaac Asimov were read and studied. Analysis, evaluative writing, reading, and dis- cussion were the fundamentals ofthis course. On the more classical side, Major World Writers presented works such as MYTHO- LOGY, OEDIPUS THE KING, OTHELLO, and WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Besides merely reading these works, six critical essays were expected. Modern Drama and a History ofthe Theater was a course for students who preferred reading plays. Approximately fif- teen plays were read, and the history of the theater from the Greeks to the present was studied. The objectives of this course were to read a play and to evaluate it critically, to listen discriminately, and as with the other English courses, to write with clarity and cor- rectness. IAQ Ron Lopez and Rudy Berlanga show off their study skills. CBljoe Bechtel plans on an A , as does Meredith Allen.

You Might Think 77 Talk to Me For those who wanted to improve them- selves in their reading ability and study skills, Reading I and II were offered. The students were allowed to work at their own level of ability and received special help in their weak- nesses. Many different skills were taught in these classesg word studies were done, com- prehension exercises were practiced, and study skills were improved. The uses of the dictionary, encyclopedia, and Dewey Deci- mal System with card catalogue and Reader's Guide were also stressed. As our world grows smaller because of more leisure time and the ease of travel, a working knowledge of an- other language is a pleasant and necessary skill. As a second language, Spanish I, II, and III were offered. Spanish I introduced the language to the students with oral and aural drills. The cultures and customs of Latin America were also studied, with oral reports given on different areas of Hispanic life. Spanish II brought a special emphasis on in- creasing the vocabulary and the ability to read with ease and comprehension. Having the student speak, write, and understand at a normal conversational speed was the goal of this class. Advanced Spanish shifted the em- phasis to more intense and extensive reading. All students were expected to read material of more difficulty. The major skills taught were speaking with fluency, understanding a native speaker, and appreciating the Spanish classical literature. CAD Furthering their knowledge, Greta McClain and Me- lissa Gonzales take Advanced Spanish seriously. CBD Holding Yvette Davis' interest, Coach Majeski teach- es of Individual Retirement Accounts.

Many new things were taught to the students, such as correct typing position and typewriter control. The goal of the class was to get each student to type thirty words per minute on at least three five minute timed writings. Drills and various production jobs were assigned in order to accomplish this goal. Basic business letters, envelopes, memorandums, centering vertical- ly and horizontally, and reports were empha- sized. Accounting let the students study the fundamentals of analyzing financial transac- tions, gain knowledge of various financial statements, and work with personal income taxes. Many practical skills, such as preparing a checkbook, were taught. The principles of accounting were primarily displayed through lectures and problem solving. Checking ac- counts, banking loans, automated data pro- cessing, all of these were covered, giving the student a basic understanding of the areas with which he may come in contact as an adult. Studying the business and economic environment of today, Consumer Economics students covered the topics of consumer rights, personal money management, using banking services, and making wise credit de- cisions. Economic understanding helped the students be competent in managing their per- sonal affairs, skillful in selecting and using goods and services, and knowledgeable of the American business system. As informed consumers, students had an edge for the fu- ture. NC You Might Think 79 Although very different, photography and journalism both have one common interest: to plan and design an image and then create that image for others. As the means for doing this, the journalist used words, while the pho- tographer used pictures. The Never Ending Story In journalism, students' imaginations ran wild in words. The ournalism students learned to gather news conduct interviews write feature articles and cover sports and entertainment events. All of this was taught through writing assignments reading news papers and studying films. The main empha sis was placed on learning to inform the read er with answers to the six basic questions Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How? The major project for this class be sides the newspaper was a journalistic book made by the student which contained exam ples of the different types of writing along with journalistic errors and a biography of a famous journalist Freeze Frame On the visual side of journalism photo journalism covered the basics of SLR pho ar... ,gpm S ww WM Etc ff 1 i51f7r 5ffe .. 80 You Might Think tography. The class included camera han- dling, films, exposures, daylight photogra- phy, flash photography, lenses, composition, action pictures, existing light photography, filters and lens attachments, close-up photog- raphy, and darkroom techniques including developing and printing. One great step for- ward this year in the area of photography came in the donation ofa darkroom from the Restivo's. This darkroom was built in the old Home Economics room and brought our photography students out of the closet, liter- ally. And once out, they really began to show their talentg and awards poured into the pho- tography department. In photography the students found many things: a new means of expressing themselves, a special talent at which to excell, and also a hobby which could last them a lifetime.

W , , You Might Think 81 Everybody Wants to Rule the World Before studying the people in the world today, the past has to be known. It is said that studying the past helps in learning of the future, so that was the goal of the Freshmen, to learn of the past. The American History course concentrated on the ideas, attitudes, people, and events that shaped American life from 1865 to the present. In the process of learning all this, many skills such as being able to identify significant U.S. personalities, to develop a time sense, and to define and correctly use a historical vocabulary were de- veloped. What the student learned the most in this class however, was the value of histori- cal perspective in observing the fact of change in human affairs, After not having any sort of history for a year, thejuniors expanded their study to cov- er the entire world. The World History course surveyed the development of civilizations from the earliest times to the present. The students saw the world in all its interrelation- ships, rather than as isolated nations and civil- izations. The continuity of history, the influ- ence of each era upon succeeding times, and the forces of cause and effect were highlight- ed through rracing the political, social, and economic development of peoples. Students developed a sense of global interrelatedness and responsibility and found that the forces W 'lifm-..

In the final phase of social studies, the Seniors studied the working of today's gov- ernment. The greatest emphasis was placed on the nomination and election processes, the Executive, Legislative, and judicial branches of government, the Constitution, and the free enterprise system within this country. A study which contrasted our government with that of other nations was also done. After com- pleting this course, the student was able to understand the basis and various functions of the American Governmental System in a clearer light. The elective courses offered in social stud- ies were Study of Laws and World Geogra- phy Studies. Laws was an introduction course in criminal and civil laws. The students learned to differentiate among various misde- meanor and felony offenses, the criteria for choosing a lawyer, and also becoming aware of existing important legal organizations. Ge- ography was a course designed to examine the relationships between persons and their habitat and the various cultural features re- sulting from economic, social, and political processes of the people. Students built skills in the inquiry process, recognized effects of environment on ways of life, interrelation- ships among various cultures, and used maps, graphs, and charts. all - ' ftfffif were Z - ,,.x ri, 'im .

This was so true this year, for Reicher would never have func- tioned without the help of its many organiza- tions. It was the groups who gave up their time to contribute their part to Reicher. Ev- erything that was done by the clubs was done for the benefit of Reicher, and each member of each group contributed something to the school. The amount he contributed was based on his understanding of what the orga- nization was and what it did for the school. The following are a few students' responses as to how they feel their organizations have helped Reicher. The cheerleaders help the school by spreading spirit to the kids. We help keep the kids behind the schoolg and by our presence, we give the guys the confidence to go out and play a good game.

It is sad but true that mon- ey is not a luxury but a necessity, and many people do not have this. Missions was a club designed to aid these people. Every Wednes- day students were able to donate money and in return receive a chance for a drawing at the end ofthe day. The homeroom which donat- ed the most was awarded a special prize to keep for the week, the Cougar Mission Mas- cot. One misfortune in the mission club was the disappearance of the mascot, which was not found by the end of the school year. Another activity sponsored by Missions was the collection of food baskets at Thanksgiv- ing. These were collected by each homeroom and sent to needy families who might other- wise have had nothing on this holiday. Reaching out a caring hand, the Missions Club truly showed the meaning of Christian- ity. Although not able to help everyone, the club's collection of money and food made many changes for the better. The Search Is Over Searching for knowledge, searching for ourselves, searching for God. Everyone searches for these at one point in his life. To find knowledge and yourself is hard. To find God is easy. All you have to do is open your heart to Him, The Eucharistic Ministers were an exclu- sive club of individuals who found God call- ing them to serve others. These students were chosen by the religion department to set a Christian example for the whole school. Helping in the school mass by distributing communion, the Eucharistic Ministers found themselves in a very important role, helping Father Mike with his duties for the school. These students found a way to serve the Lord, but the search is not really over. There is always room to find more and become closer to God. 86 With a Little Help 05,97 Eucharistic Ministers CAt Leftj: CBack Rowj Steven jansma, Kyle Nielsen, Robert Martinez fFront Rowl Te- resa Gough, Carolyn West, Greta McClain.

They spent many long hours throughout the year preparing a book filled with great memories. The eight-member staff started back in August planning the makeup of the book. Drawing up rough drafts for layouts was only the beginning ofthis major task. All the work had to be approved by the editors and Mrs. Emmet before the finals could be drawn. The spreads had to be completed by four dead- lines throughout the year. Herffjones Pub- lishing Company had to have the finished pages to begin printing and putting them together, and the staff literally went Crazy trying to meet these deadlines. Towards the end of the summer, the re- maining members were beginning to be drained of their enthusiasm. But they contin- ued on until the book was done. They worked on their obsession to capture all of the important events of the year so that the Reicher students would have something to remember for manyyears to come.

They definitely did not let us down, reporting everything from the new pole standards in the gym to special guest speaker Representa- tive Marvin Leath. Besides the serious aspects of school, entertainments such as Senior Wills, Famous Last Words, and Christmas- Grams were printed. Sports were also a main feature, with special sports reports called Walsh Thoughtsi' by first semester sports editor Tom Walsh. Comics were even includ- ed in the two issues published. It was really amazing how much information was includ- ed in a four page newspaper. Vaya Con Dios 1: Reicher's only club that left the campus grounds, and even the states for that matter, was the Pan American Student Forum. Tak- ing a tour of Mexico, the students' first stop was Mexico City, where they saw the Ballet Folclorico Nacional De Mexico. On their way to Taxco, the silver capital, the students took a three hour glance at Cuernavaca. The high point of the trip was the sandy beaches of Acapulco. There, cliff divers dove from hundreds of feet into the crashing water. Also in Acapulco, the students saw the famous Pacific Princess from the show The Love Boat . All of this was seen by four students representing Reicher, Melissa Gonzales, Lety Berlanga, Elizabeth DeLeon and Stephanie Fadal, and Mrs. White and her family. Back on the home front, the PASF was also very active. With the help of a bake sell, the stu- dents were able to send 3100 to an organiza- tion called Pesos for Braces. PASF had been tremendously successful in its second year at Reicher and was a welcome addition to the Reicher family.

YF Rhythm of the Night What does it take to be a halftime performer? Coordination, rhythm, talent, dedication, willingness, but most importantly, courage. It really takes a lot of nerve to get out under the spotlight and perform before bleachers full of people. It seems as though just before you walk onto the field, your mind goes blank. You may even feel as if you can't go through with it. You are now glad to have had all those practicesg for as the music starts, it all comes back to you. You can't just go through the moves though. A lot more has to be done to look good. You have to be on the right foot, you have to look sharp, you have to be in rhythmg and for band members, you have to play! That's where the coordination is needed. Band members, twirlers, flag girls, they should all be awarded for being able to perform so many activities at once. It all came down to the old saying: practice makes perfect. They all practiced till they got it perfect. For band members, practice started a month before school. With the help of joe Cardinelly and Mr. Fletcher, a new corps style of marching was learned. Then members of the band began learning movements for their show. It' wasn't easy, but they did it. By the first football game, the show was ready. For the drum majors, flag girls, and twirlers, practice started much earlier. At a camp held at the University of Houston, the drum majors learned commands, salutes, and directing, while flag girls learned new dance steps and routines. Their hard work at the camp was greatly rewardedg Beabee Garcia won the ribbon for the most improved drum major, Sherri Dentry won the trophy for outstanding flag girl, Lisa Silva won the ribbon for most improved flag girl, Sonya Gonzales won the ribbon for most im- proved beginner, and the entire flags team won the award for best overall flag line. As for the twirlers, their entire summer was spent working up new routines for their part ofthe show. Feature twirler Kelley Hubenak attend- ed a twirling camp in San Antonio, then returned to teach the rest of the squad the new routines she had learned. All of these performers worked this hard for one goal: to impress the audience. The band received special attention as the result of their new uniforms. Their look, sound, and field personality all helped lift the spirits of the football crowd.

With a Little Help 95 SHOUT Probably one of the most dedicated group of girls at our school are the cheerleaders. Both the Varsity and JV squads attended all of the boys' football and basketball games. They spread their Cougar spirit and enthusi- asm to both the team and the fans. Could you imagine how quiet a Friday night football game would be without the cheerleaders? No smiling faces, no catchy chants, no death- defying pyramids. Both the Varsity andjV teams started their practices during the summer, attending a two day camp at MCC. The Varsity squad also traveled to Huntsville to compete at Sam Houston State, winning many spirit awards. Throughout the year the girls livened up the spirits at Reicher. Each week during foot- ball season they painted signs, sold ribbons, and passed out candy. The enthusiasm among the students was stirred by these girls at pep rallies and especially during Home- coming. All'of these girls, especially Head Varsity cheerleader Patti Castilleja, should re- ceive a pat on the back, for they did more than just shout at games, they increased the pride and vitality of both the students and players of Reicher.

They have many student functions that they sponsor throughout the year into which they must put their heart and soul . STC is represented by all classes and led by four student officers and a moderator. This year's officers were President Robert Mar- tinez, Vice-President Patricia Leonard, Secre- tary David McTaggart, Treasurer Steven jansma and moderator Sister Deborah. The officers spent the summer working on plans for the upcoming year, and then the weekend before school started the STC went to Cedarbrake. Here the officers and the rest ofthe group exchanged ideas as they worked on activities to shape their leadership skills. One of the first main duties of the STC is Homecoming. They sponsored the dance, the Mum sales, and the halftime presentation of the Court. Following Christmas break, the STC began planning for the Winter Dance. After the dance, they prepared the luncheon for Teacher Appreciation Day. As the Sen- iors' last day approached, the junior STC members, Ricci Belk,julian Castilleja, Paul Hutyra, jesse Martinez and Brian Ott were responsible for providing the famous Senior Slide Show . The final decision of the year for the STC was to decide upon its gift to the school. The STC decided to have the parking lot spaces painted. Money for this gift was raised by paper drives, Vallogram sales and the heart and soul dedication of the STC members sponsoring these many activities.

CV VE With a Little Help 99 Headgames Both the National Honor Society and the Challenge Team were organizations that pro- moted learning and achievement. Students belonging to these clubs apprently liked a challenge and set academic goals for them- selves. The National Honor Society of Reicher had a total of twenty two members this year. Nine of them were returning for their second year, while the remaining students were in- ducted at a special candle lighting ceremony in the spring. Members were chosen by a faculty group based on their character, ser- vice, leadership, and scholarship. The require- ments for induction were basically the same, although the students who were eligible had to fill out information sheets and write essays saying why they wished to be inducted. The society had a number of activities that it hosted this year. The first big event was the Christmas Bingo, held right before the holi- day break. N.H.S. members worked selling nachos, drinks, and bingo cards in hopes of raising enough money for the incoming Freshman scholarship. The N.H.S. induction ceremony and reception was another event that took a lot of hard work and planning. Probably the biggest event for the group though, was the Senior Citizen Bingo. It was held in appreciation of all the citizens of the Waco community who had supported Reicher throughout the year. It turned out to be a huge success, and all of the Senior citi- zens seemed to have had a great time. There was no requirement for Challenge Team members. They consisted of students who were not just book smart, but who had a wide range of knowledge. Due to a change in competition rules, Reicher's team was elimi- nated in the first round of action, but not before they had a chance to test their skills against others. Team captain David Wolf and his team spent their lunch hours in Mrs. Cook's office being drilled on questions and testing their reflexes in hitting the buzzer, for this was a physical game as well as mental. Despite the excitement of being on t.v., the Challenge Team gave it their all and proudly represented Reicher. 100 With a Little Help Li.. f M The 1985 Challenge Team members are QTop row l-rj: Mike Castillo, Richard Schmidt, Stevenjansma QBottom rowl Lauren Looney, Tracy Dulock, David Wolf Qcap- tainl and moderator Mrs. Cook.

They proved to be a capable and caring group of professionals. Not only did they teach about academic subjects, they taught us about life.

I like the school setting because it affords me an opportunity to get to know my stu- dents betterf' Mrs. Linda Davis. I wouldn't think of teaching anywhere else. The students are great, and the atmo- sphere is free from pressure. The students want to learn, and there are no major disci- pline problems. It's fun to go to Homecom- ing and see students I taught five, ten, or more years before. I'm now teaching children of former pupils, and the feeling of continuity is very rewarding. Mrs. Audrey Emmet. It was fun and challenging. Mr. Robert Stoker. I feel that there is a definite closeness, spirituality, and academic excellence that cannot be found in any other school in which I have taught. Mr. jo Burke. After visiting with some of the faculty at Reicher, it was a pleasant surprise to find out that they actually do enjoy working with the students. The teachers were never out to get the students, but instead tried to help them understand their subjects so they could go on to bigger and better things. - 104 We Go Together M Ili Mr. Adolph Schoenewolf- Don't walk on my wet floors!

Her education consisted of a BS degree in Mathematics at Font Bonne University in St. Louis and a MS degree in Mathematics at Notre Dame Uni- versity in Indiana. Her teaching career began in 1968 at the Little Flower High School in Chicago. After five years there, she went on to teach at The Academy of Our Lady- Spaulding Institute in Peoria, Illinois. She came to Reicher in 1977 as a teacher. In 1982 Sr. Fran accepted the challenge of being Reicher's principalg and as the years have pro- gressed, it was evident that she had made the right choice. I love Reicher Catholic High School and all the people associated with the school. My eight years of service here will always be trea- sured rnernories. Reicher is an outstanding Catholic educational institution. Our goal is to develop integrated Christian adults. I hope that Reicher will keep up its Catholic tradi- tion and that it will always be a viable option for all families. Sister Fran Well Miss You' Il Thanks For Eight Great Years We Go Together 105 We Eu Usage Eiigu Enrollment at Reicher was just over two hundred students this year, with the largest class having sixty two pupils. With these stat- istics, it was hard for the students not to know everyone in the school. At the begin- ning ofthe year, students acquainted them- selves with new classes and a new schedule. At that time, friendships were begung and as the year progressed, the bonds grew closer and closer. Valuable experiences and price- less memories were gained. Before one knew it, the school year had come to an end, and it was time to move on. As for the Seniors, they would not return to the security of RCHSQ but they would venture out into the real world, bringing with them the 'friendships they had acquired at school. The Senior girls get together on Planning Day. Friends Sunny Pisciotta and Charlie Patterson enjoy a Tuesday night basketball game.

They were such a unique bunch of kids, so com- petitive but yet so friendly. This Senior class was a class that left their mark on Reicher that will be remembered for many years. The group spent their last year having a blast. During the year they had a great time at athletic functions, school dances, and home parties that they, themselves, wouldn't forget for a long time. The spirit of the 1985 grads will linger on in the hallways, trophy cabinets, and the Hall of Fame. It has to be openly admitted that the Reicher High Seniors of '85 will never be forgotten for their spirit, unity, and individuality.

Carolyn jimmy Chrissie David Judy We Go Together 115 Making it to the Top Ahh, to finally be an upperclassman! This was one of the thoughts that raced through ajunior's mind as he contemplat- ed his third year. Thoughts of decorating the gym, Ring Day, Prom, and upcoming authority as a Senior. As Homecoming approached, the ju- niors began thinking of ways to decorate the gym. They came up with the idea of creating a tent. But during the pep rally, their idea fell through. So on Saturday, the juniors again made their tent, but also raised a cylinder filled with balloons. After Christmas break, juniors began looking forward to Ring Day, since most of them had gotten their rings for Christ- mas. On February 15, Fr. Mike blessed their rings and the Seniors gave the class a breakfast. Prom was the final big event for the Kim Aleman Mike Appel Vizicer Belk - Brassard Amy Brow . 1 ,v ' Mike Callan julian Castilleja X Mary Lou casrriio Mike Castillo Eric Cotten Yvette Davis fMichelle DeLeon Billy Drmmil P- Robin Engholm T' juniors. They spent many long hours decorating for the dance, which was a great success. As the last weeks of school ap- proached, thejuniors started to accept the leadership roles relinquished by the Sen- iors. Class members were selected for Class Officers, Yearbook Editor, Student Council Officers and members, Head Cheerleader, Feature Twirler, and Drum Majors. While these few students emerged as individual leaders, the class as a whole became the trendsetters. The ju- nior class was finally on its way to Mak- ing it to the Top! The Class Officers were: Brian Ott secretary, Richard Schmidt treasurer, Scott Vrana vice-presidentg and Adam LeCrone president.

It is a dimen- sion as vast as space, and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between Freshmen and -Iuniorsg between Algebra I and Algebra Hg between the fear of Sen- iors and the anticipation of Graduation. This is the dimension of a particular life form known as a Sophomore. It is an area that might be called the Twilight Zone. The Sophomores of 1985, though, con- tinued to have emotions-confusing emo- tions! Society still considered them chil- dren, not old enough to drive and too young for R-rated movies. But the upper- classmen did not recognize their exis- tence, and the Freshmen did not show them the proper respect. Hard work also accompanied the Soph- omores throughout this Zone . The stu- dents labored over toilsome classes such as Geometry, Biology, and Typing. They also organized dances, decorated their hall, and created a backdrop for the Homecoming Dance. Though the Twilight Zone would probably be the most practical title for this abeyant year, it actually does serve a purpose. It is a time for students to look inside themselves and find their true iden- tities. It is a time to form real friendships and abandon old cliques, and to begin looking towards the future with a bright outlook. Class Officers were: Rob Dorazil-treasurerg Donald Picha-'secretaryg Melinda Burnett-presidentg and joe Todaro-vice-president.

We Go Together 123 We'Ve Only just Begun If one were to ask what it was like being a Freshman, he would probably say that it was the only time in his life when he could enjoy being a carefree individual. Carefree was the attitude of the time. Carefree be- cause he did not have to worry about dates, driver's licenses, and colleges. ln- stead, he was worried about what he wore, what he said, and how he acted toward the upperclassmen! This year Reicher was entertained by a trendy group of Freshmen. They took upon themselves the job of participating in school functions so that they could really feel like a part of Reicher's family. During Homecoming, the fourteen- and fifteen-year-olds decorated the cafeteria and served refreshments to the students at the dance. In the spring, they gave a dance Rob Ables Meredith Allen Melissa Amaro l l Larry Baird Jeannie Bauer Christine Beavan joey Bechtel David Bestor Shannon Bettinger George Campos Ann Marie Cepak Clinton Conner Brian Cornett for the incoming Freshmen. Ultimately, this unique group of Fresh- men began to grow out of their socially preoccupied shell. They became aware that they were an important asset to the Reicher environment. Freshmen class officers were: Sammy Martinez- President, Charlie Sligh-Vice-President, Kim Mar- kum-Secretary, and Whit Fadal-Treasurer.

Q We Work Hard That's All As we conclude this tour of the 1984-85 school year, we must look back and remember all the memories that were built. Reicher was a chest filled with treasures that could never be replaced. lt was definitely a place for students to grow: spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and so- cially. One of the main aspects of growing was learning to interact with and accept different peoples. Through the course of nine months, students and teachers joined to form their own special family. In the beginning a year seemed forever, but as the time went by, it became much too short. For underclassmen, the year's end meant a rise up the class ladder as they looked forward to the next year. For the Seniors howev- er, the year's end meant the end of a chapter in their book of life. It meant leaving the security and stability of Reicher for unknown territory. Memories, along with true friendships, last a lifetime, and these are two of the best things Reicher gave to its students. It has been said that a Reicher student never leaves, returning for Homecomings, reunions, and other activities. Phil Collins best describes the feelings of many Reicher students in his song That's All when he said, Say we'll be together 'til the end. CAH Ricci B. is not too sure about her new friendjudge whom she met while at the Free Enterprise Seminar. CBB Steve W. studies the girls' basketball game. CCD Paul H. shows us he can be debonair, even on Field Day. CDD ls it Larry, Curly, and Mo, or Scott E.,jerry F., and Chris S1 158 That's All flil Don't you dare take that picture! Too late Laura El QFD Beabee G. and Lisa G. prepare for graduation! CGD Emily B. and Laruen L. offer enthusiasm off the bench. CHD As the Sophomores reach for the stars during Homecom- ing, Rob D. extends greetings to an alien. flj The more the merrier , say Karen O., DeAnn A., IN G., Lety B., Chrissie W., Sonya G., and Judy Y. during N.H.S. Bingo. UD Excitement plasters the faces of Rob M. and Glenn M. they watch the Seniors defeat the faculty in football. fliljennifer H., Frances L., and Dede F. catch the rays. KLD Barbara is caught between classes. KMD Melissa N. was awarded the best Sophomore girl athlete and why not, with her great basketball ability? CNH We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun , . . Michelle P., Melanie W., Robin E., Kim A., Michelle D., and Norma G. got together on Field Day. COD As one of the most spirited Seniors,jackie C. was seen at almost all the school functions. REED!! YM' me SYM!

We finally finished our year- booklljust think, it will be the 30th edition published. I was glad, but also a little sad to be through because it means that the school year is really over. I know Ricci and Patricia were happy to be done. It means they can finally have a summer. Without Patricia as Copy Editor, I think we would still be work- ing! And as well as Ricci handled everything this year, I know that she'll be a teriffic editor next year. I'm glad I had them to finish this yearbook with me. They both worked hard. The one who really kept us going though, was Mrs. Emmet. She's such a neat lady that I had fun working with her. I'm sorry this is her last yearbook to make, she was a great spon- sor. I really wish I could thank her for all the help shels given me the last four years and tell her how much I love her. I also have to thank her for giving me the opportunity to be editor this year. A lot of other people helped in the f making of this yearbook: people who 'donat- ed pictures and slides, people who helped in the ad drive, and people who went out of their way and cooperated with the staff. IfI could, I would like to sit down and write every one ofthem a thank you note. I have to remember to thank Sister Fran for approving some of the ideas in this yearbook. She really helped us a lot. Oh well, it's getting late so I better close this letter. Goodnight. Beabee P.S. I can't wait until the book comes out and everyone sees it! I think it will be an excellent book, but I hope the rest ofthe school likes it. After all, we made it for them. I especially hope that we did a good job of capturing 1985 for the Seniors as this will be their last Reicher yearbook. May this yearbook bring back all the good memories of Reicher High School for everyone in the years to come. ' g , T - ,Y i 1-1 S Q -L Q 160 That's All 1giz un ...
