What were the lives of the students about at Lee? Well, for the most part, there were before school meetings, after school practices, tests and activi- ties during the day, and for some, after school jobs. Were there any times to rest or just have fun? Of course! There were dances to go to, people to date, concerts to see, and of course sports events to support. Participation com- bined with spirit turned school days, activities, and student life into a blast. Left io nghi Marta Lugo. Section Editor MtchcHe Rich ard . and Tonya Hebert Twins, Brothers, And Sisters Each school has it’s own unique student body, but one thing they all have are brothers and sisters. Some of the students have different feel- ings about having a sibling going to the same school. Some students real- ly don’t mind their brother or sister around all day long since they have to see them at home anyway. You may be faced with that situation at one time or another, but whether it’s a problem or not is up to you. Some of the 1986-87 seniors had the following to say concerning their younger siblings. “I think it’s kind of neat,” stated Angela Taylor. “Well I never see my little brother anyway, so it doesn't really bother me at all,” said Tammy Fuller. Kerry Lewis said, “It really doesn’t make any dif- ference at all.” David Dabney said, “I guess it’s all right since I get to tell my little brother what to do.” Maria Resendez stated, It doesn’t matter to me as long as she stays out of my way.” “I wish she’d leave!” stated Kay Robinson. It may seem bad to have your brother or your sister here, but what about those of us who look just like you, namely a twin. There is a slight difference in twins, there are frater- nal twins and identical twins. Frater- nal twins don’t necessarily have to look alike, the pair can even be a boy or a girl. On the other hand, identical twins have to be of the same sex and they usually look exactly alike. A Classical Friendship And A Family Bond There are some advantages and disadvantages to having a twin. Some of the more common ones are: sharing a birthday party, borrowing clothes, having people mix you up, being called twins, and always being asked how many minutes apart they are. Here are some statements a few of the twins made: Tonya Harris sai- d,“It gets rather irritating, having people getting me mixed up with my twin.” “It could be to a great advan- tage because you can pull pranks on your friends, teachers, or your girl- friend,” stated Garland Hart. Kathy and Kerry Tilton said,“It’s like hav- ing a friend your own age around all the time.” Tonya Harrte and Sonya Harris (12) try to e the difference between her and her � J ter Kathy Tilton and Kerry Tilton (10) Look mom' No caviller Joanne Thierry and Joeeph Thierry (11) Can you Tina Sleeon and Tracy Slaeon ! ) Can you teB believe w are actually twin ? apart?

Those feelings are just a few of the ways that everyone felt at one time or an- other. The students of REL are no exceptions. Whether the hate was felt because of a failing grade, a break-up, a personality difference, or other reasons, everyone has felt hate at one time or another. Mark John- son commented. “I hated it when the seniors had to come to school on the testing dates of the under classmen, even though we got all three lunches.” Tammey Dempsey re- plied, ‘I hate my ex-boyfriend. I thought our relationship would never end. As for the love, that was seen throughout the halls and classes of the school. Michelle Richards com- mented, “I have been dating Joey for 2 years, and I feel that it will last.” ”1 love this 1986-87 year because this is my senior year,” replied Jamie Kraus. Although there are love and hate feelings, there were also mixed feelings about people or things. “There are so many cute girls here in Lee and the world — 1 can’t decide which one is for me, remarked Wayne Walton.

Each year births new fads and styles. This year was no different. One of the most popular things was the “midas touch,” this is where the guys shave parts of their hair off. Many girls had gold shoes, purses, and other accessories. Silver was also a favorite with the females. The sparkle of rinestones on overalls, jeans, blouses, socks, and belts could also be seen in the halls of REL. One of the fad followers, junior Genetle Fishesser, says, “I like these styles because they’re different and brighten up the room.” Patricia Rin- con stated, I like things that shine and are noticeable.” Gold shoes are cute and were bought for one of my outfits,” commented Sandy Gon- zales, sophmore. However, some people do not care for the gold shoes. Maria Resendez said, ”1 don’t K«ll«y Hawk arv J Ginger Ho� � test while wearing th style. denimen jacket and ankle bool like them because everyone else is wearing them. Not only did the clothes and accessories bring out the new ways and fashions, but the hair- cuts changed with the trend also. For the varsity squad line-up, it was a new way of celebrating a winning year. As for the rest of the student body, it was a way of getting atten- tion. Mark Munoz said, I cut my hair this way because I wanted to be dif- ferent, but then it became so com- mon. “It’s cool and I wanted to be rebellious,” said Steven Guidry. Joe Guzman said, I like it. and wanted to get one, but just never got around to it.” And for junior, Chris Cryer, “1 did it because I'm a hard core.” There was a big upset at the begin- ning of school with all of these new fads, especially with the new hair- cuts. Many students who were asked Jason Chappel viy� My future it o bright. I hove to w«af shade Referring To Tradition And Trend. to cut their hair in a normal fashion became upset, and argued that it was against their constitutional rights. “They have no right to tell us howto wear our hair, I mean they are ai ready telling us what kind of clothes we can wear to school,” replied Joel Silverberg. “Personally, I don’t mind it, as long as my children take no part in it,” commented Mrs. Yepez. “1 believe there is a direct correlation between a student’s personal ap pearance and an atmosphere con ducive to learning. Therefore 1 think that extremes in dress and appear ance that may lead to disruption and or distraction should be discour aged,” stated Mr. Earl Lankford.

This week was a time for the girls of REL to ask their favorite guy or guys out for a date. The Stu- dent Council set up specific activities for the couples to participate in, on their date. Monday was Putt-Putt. Tuesday was movie night, Wednes- day was church or bowling night. Thursday was JV game or pizza night, and Friday was the Homecom- ing game at Stallworth Stadium to compete against the Dobie Longh- orns. “There was a lot of tension because it was our Homecoming game,” commented Joe Guzman, a senior. However, Lee came away with a 27 to 16 victory over Dobie. During the half-time performance. Patrice Hornberger was crowned 1986-87 Homecoming Queen. The night following the game was when students of REL had a chance to come and enjoy a “Night on the Town.” Deed Dupont commented, “1 thought the dance was pretty good, the setting was real nice. The dance began at 8:00 p.m. and lasted until 12:00 a.m. in the Lee Com- mons. Robin Nelson, a senior, re- marked, We didn't get there until it was almost over, and we didn’t stay long either. Spencer Conner, a sen- ior, replied, I didn’t go to the dance, and I’m not upset about missing it.” Although there were good and bad opinions of the dance, everyone app- peared to be happy with the victori- ous game.

On November 7,1986, the Robert E. Lee Ganders met at Stall- worth Stadium to compete against the Ross S. Sterling Rangers. “Ev- eryone was so excited and enthusias- tic all week, I knew that we would win,” replied Sandy Bertsch, Head- cheeleader. As always, there was a big crowd at the stadium, and many supporters yelled for both Lee and Sterling. The students of Robert E. Lee par- ticipated in various activities throughout the entire week before the game. Monday, students came dressed as Ranger dress-styie- NERDS, Tuesday, was tie-up, boot, and shade the Rangers, Wednesday was warm-up and slip by the Rang- ers, Thursday was hunt the Rangers, and Friday was mix-up the Rangers and hats off to Ganders. On Saturday, November 15, 1986, the Ganders met at Rice Stadi- um against the LaMarque Cougars. “It was really neat that we got to the stadium and practiced before the real game,” replied Chris Sutphin, senior tight-end. Chris Crooms, de- fensive safety, commented, “Even though we did not win the game, I’m glad we had a chance to go to the playoffs.” Jaymc Rodilguci wants to know where did the ba 90?

As every- one knew, the band. Brigadiers, foot- ball players, cheerleaders, and the R.O.T.C practiced after the 3 o’clock bell through football season, and the rest of the year. “Brig prac- tice isn’t easy, but the good times and great memories really make me proud to be a Brigadier.” replied sophomore Kris Simmons. “The practices were hard, but they paid off at half time on Friday night games,” commented Angela Taylor, senior drum major. Extracurricular activities not al- ways meant playing an instrument or having a skill, it also meant joining in and helping with community pro- jects. Lori O’Hagen remarked, “Be- ing a member of the Future Farmers of America means more to the stu- dent that spends their after school hours memorizing speeches or taking care of sick animals. Even through all the hardships and practices, most students found that participating in these extra activities turned out to be very rewarding. Senior cheerleader, Patrice Horn- berger, replied, “I love cheerleading even though it’s a lot of work. Prac- ticing jit ter school for all of our differ- ent activities definitely paid off.” “It's the extra things you do in life that get you where you want to go , and believe me, football practice is extra, stated Coach David Smith.

Lee High School enter- tainment includes the conduct of class clowns. There are many fans of these clowns, simply because the tend to bring a ray of fun and laugh- ter into the classroom. Allyson Thomas commented, “I think that they are just trying to put life into the school, and have fun doing it. Some people just have that sense of hu- mor. Without class clowns, school would be boring.” “The students who do these wild and crazy things are a spark of light, but the ones who go beyond the limit should be calmed down, stated Coach Jerry Schima. Lamont Brown replied, “I use to have that same problem. All I want- ed to do was make people laugh and have fun. It brought attention to me. and made me feel good,” Laughs, attention, and stares are some of the things that class clowns receive for putting themselves on the spot. However, some students felt that the disruption from the clowns was very annoying and pulled away from their studies. “Personally, I think that the teachers should be more strict on the students who mis- behave and never do their work,” commented Michelle Richards. “I don’t really care too much for class clowns because they are just trying to get attention. When someone has to go to those extremes, they need the attention!” stated JoJo Edwards In class or out of class; all the same Ann SouIkh warned Craig Van Winkle H you pop that balloon. 1 11 pop you!

Do you remember how terrified you were when you found out you had that certain teacher for that certain class? What about that mid term exam you were sure you had failed? Now remember how close you two became and. well you didn’t make a perfect score on the test but at least you passed? All those classes you had to take but didn’t want, and now you're majoring in or at least going to in one? That’s what the Academic section is about To make all these things appear in the yearbook, there are a lot of time consuming things that go on before the yearbook is complete. Legwork is probably one of the main things and that involves getting quotes, having pictures made and attending interviews. The only nitch in the whole works is getting all the people you need, for whatever reason, together at the same time and place Through these next few pages you will see the time and the legwork but hopefully none of the ironed out nitches. Academics is about the classes and clubs that are associated with those classes This gives those students, that for one rea- son or another, may not be able to get in volved with many extracurricular activities a chance to be noticed, as well as improve their grade in whatever class they are in- volved with.

The final placing in is your aca- demic ranking. One could be in the 1st quarter or the 4th quarter, but ten re- ceive the honor of being called the Top Ten. Ranking in the top ten requires 4 years of hard work and study. When Judy Hodgson was asked if she or her parents where more excited, she exclaimed, “I know I was! Some of the toughest classes I had were: precal- clus and physics.” Her career goal now is to do something in Mechanical Engineering. Ed Warren said. ‘‘I plan to attend Rice University.” His career goal now is to make a living in business or law. He said, My toughest classes were Biol- ogy and Physics. When his parents found out he said, We were both equally excited.” Now the top ten are off at college. We are sure whatever they do they will make their family and everyone who knows them proud. High school was a stepping stone for the 1986-87 seniors. Watch out world, here comes the REL ’86-’87 top ten!

Secretary Grace Chen In 1921 a group of distinguished educators decided that there should be some public recognition of the de- velopment of those qualities which stand for outstanding intellectual ability, achievement, sound charac- ter, true initiative and conscientious service in all progressive schools in the United States. Therefore, with these standards as guides the Nation- al Honor Society was bom. In 1942, Robert E. Lee petitioned the Nation- al Honor Society headquarters in Washington, D.C. to grant a charter to allow us to establish a chapter. That first year seven members were installed. Since then the membership has grown to fifty. Mrs. Shirley Theile, one of the cur- rent sponsors of the NHS says that to have an average of 85 in honors courses, of regular classes a 95 is needed to maintain status in the soci- ety. Not only does the NHS have an interest in academic achievement but also In the welfare of others. They proved this through a donation to the Shriners Burn Institute in Galveston and raising sufficient funds through the annual Valentine’s day carnation sale which funded three seperate $500.00 scholarships. Academic ex- cellence has played a part in the tra- dition that lives in REL and perhaps will double it’s standing in the years to come. Decathalon To be on the Decathalon team the sponsors announce that they are tak- ing applications. Students fill out an application then the sponsors inter- view the applicants and select the students they feel are capable of do- ing a good job on the team. The selected students then take tests on ten subjects competing for a spot on the Decathalon team consisting of nine members. According to Mr. Ba- con, “Members must attend meet- ings, take tests on ten academic sub- jects, and practice a minimum of sev- en hours every week.” The ten different academic sub- jects to be studied are: speech, histo- ry, economics, math, essay, inter- view, science, fine arts, and a special topic which is the United States Con- stitution. There were 28 applicants interviewed at the beginning of the year for a position on the Decathalon team. By November, there were thir- teen. The actual team of nine mem- bers was chosen in December. The nine students were: David Carroll, Deborah Houk, Keith Lohkamp, Kenyata Sullivan, Michael Springer, Philip Lipkin, Rex Hiebert, Ed Hodg- son, and Frank Hatfield. Senior Keith Lohkamp tried out because, “It seemed like a very interesting thing to do because we get a chance to learn things that you don’t get to study in school. David Carroll, also a senior, feels that being on the De- cathalon team, “gives you a better outlook on life.” Deborah Houk, sen- ior, said, “I knew the people who were on the team last year and it seemed good to do. As one of the two females on the team, Deborah said, “It’s not harder being a girl be- cause we aren’t competing that way. We’re competing for a position on the Decathalon team. I’m surprised that there aren’t more girls. Senior Kenyata Sullivan feels his goal for the Decathalon team is, “First over- all nation wide and we won’t accept anything less.” Michael Springer de- fines his fellow senior Decathaletes as “some one who is not afraid of his own ignorance. The amount of mate- rial covered is unbelievable. The goal is not to memorize it, but to learn the basic concepts. I feel that my field of knowledge is much broader as a re- sult of participating in the Decatha- lon.” Mr. Bacon feels that, “This is the best team we’ve ever had.

Chm Bacon, and Chad Gallun Thespians Lights, Camera, Action Thriptan pon� or Mr Rowrmary Calico Hopton Groups and organizations all have ways of recognizing the students that become involved in their activities. This holds true for the drama dept, as well. Once every semester invita- tions go out to drama members to join the Thespians, the honor society for drama members. Included with academic achievements, drama members must have 100 working hours in a drama related activity. Members accumulate hours by par- ticipating in plays doing the actual performance or working back stage as a crew member. Painting faces at the mall or helping in the Halloween haunted house are other ways of col- lecting hours. “Whatever we do you have to be willing to work hard.” says Catherine Taylor a two year member of the groups. The UIL con- test is one of the “most important” activities according to Patricia Rin- con. Rehearsals began weeks before the actual contest. “A good exper ience and is worthwhile in the end, is the way Patricia also describes the time consuming after school prac- tices. Preparing for the contest often involved a two hour practice dress rehearsal a week before the competi- ton. For the overall effort of the Thespians achievements, sponsor, Mrs. Calico-Hopson was, “Very ex- cited because they were so young and so new to the theatre and be- cause of this they were very eager and enthusiastic.” The plan 910up back row Jod.

Cisneros The new members of the 1986-87 Spanish Honor Society were also the charter members of this society. The purpose of the honor society is to recognize the achievements of the foreign language students. It is a way to let the students know that their hard work has not been over- looked and is appreciated because it seems like most people usually over- look the academic students. This is just a way to encourage the students to continue in their study. The requirements to be selected for this honor is that the student had been presently enrolled in one of the Spanish classes and had maintained an average of 90 or above for at least three semesters. There was an initiation ceremony on May 18, 1986 to induct the new members. They were as follows: San- dra Beeler. Brad Bookmeyer, Mi- chelle Bonczynski, Tracy Brock. Ve- ronica Cano, Tammy Carpenter. Laura Castro, Grace Chen, Reggie Delgado, Richie Epperson, Tabatha Flora. Chad Galium, Traci Garman, Feliciano Gonzales, Jaime Gonzales.

There were two levels of the Soci- ety. The National Chapter and the R.E. Lee Chapter. The requirements for the National Chapter was that the student maintained an average of 95 or above for at least three semes- ters and for the R.E. Lee Chapter was that the student maintained an average of 90 or above for the three semesters. For most students this was a great accomplishment. Spon- sor, Lindy Horsey said, “It makes the students feel good to know their hard work is appreciated!! The purpose of the German Hon- or Society is to recognize the achievements of the students who excelled in the study of the German language. The members of the club rarely met with each other for any meetings since it was only an honor- ary society and there was not much business to be taken care of. There was an initiation ceremony on May 18, 1986 to induct the fol- lowing new members: Harald Aa- lund, Lisa Armstrong, Henry Bern- shausen, Traci Douglas.

The eighteen members of REL must have a 90 average in all their classes which include French 1 and II. The members must complete three semesters of French and maintain a 90 average each semester prior to becoming a member of the F.H.S. This organiza- tion was established to recognize the outstanding students in French. Mrs. Pamela Cooper feels that the F.H.S., “Benefits the students’ chances in attending a university of their choice, especially now that uni- versities require a language. F.H.S. is an elite group because it’s hard to maintain that level of excellence. The National officers are of French de- cent.” “The F.H.S. helped you to under- stand the language and the culture better,” says Keith Lohkamp. Judy Hodgson feels, “It’s not as prestigious as the National Honor Society because in the F.H.S. you just have to have a 90 average in French and an 80 average in everyth- ing else.” Deborah Houk says, Anyone can be in the F.H.S. because it’s based on your grades.

Lee must be enrolled in Latin and maintain a 90 average through April 1. Being a member of the N.L.H.S., “has nothing to do with heritage,” according to sponsor. Miss Mary Jane Bickley. The 1986-87 members of the N.L.H.S. are: Alicia Beam, Jennifer Byrd, David Carroll, Michelle Carter, Bebe Garcia, Stephanie Furgeson, Amy George, Greg Hanson, Brian Hart, Gera Mickle, Andy Miller, Kel- ly Mullins, Stephen O’Sullivan, Hollie Pagel, Missi Perez, Jimmie Reeves, Chris Rincon, Lydia Rodriguez, Ken Sandel, Doug Tadlock, Eric Twar- dowski, and Clemencia Vigil. David Carroll (12) feels that being in the N.L.H.S., “just means you have a good grade in Latin.” On May 21, 1987 the members of the N.L.H.S. gathered together for an installation. This year’s installa- tion was held at Pizza Inn. During the installation, the mem- bers repeated a Latin phrase. “Lin- gua Latina est fundamentum sapien- tiae.” Which means; “The Latin lan- guage is the foundation of wisdom.” When the ceremony was complete the members enjoyed a festive feast.

TX 77520 n Classical: English History Students have been taken to new places and introduced to new people through literature and history. Fresh- man began to learn about the dread- ed term paper, sophomores ex- plored the world of literature,juniors prepared for their college entrance exams, and seniors perfected their skills in term paper writing. Included with these subjects were other areas of the English language as well as the usual testing. English and American authors from William Shakespeare to Nathaniel Hawthorne was just one incentive for testing. Although tests are not always popular with the stu- dent body Mrs. Cauley, one English teacher at Lee stated, “ 1 feel that it can be used as a positive instrument if it’s used properly”. At the same time while English teachers were fa- miliarizing students with the English language history was taking students to past victories and defeats both in our country and around the world. For some, government explained the way our country is run and the way the judicial system works. Econom- ics, on the other hand, gave students an idea of what being on your own really means as well as how much it’s going to cost. Teachers also helped the student body by showing films of different career choices and helped them attain information about them.

Mrs. Sandhop, one of the math teachers, expressed. “I feel that the test was not fair to all stu- dents, because it means every stu- dent must work at the same rate, and it may be impossible to meet each student’s needs.’’ On the other hand, science not only involves math for- mulas, but also animals, plants, chemicals, and various instruments. Although book work can be interest- ing, lab work offers a challenge to many students. Along with the chal- lenges. that are few and far between, are the dreaded mishaps, which range from burning the trash can to chemicals on the ceiling. When asked about accidents, Mr Barry, a teacher of Lee. said, “A few students touched hot equipment, but nothing serious has happened thus far.” Mater Hardy and Tltso River la work with Inend� ift «cience Nikki Jared a freshman. work� on her science pro jecl. Economic� Through Science, lor the Science Fair 31 During the annual membership drive in Sep- tember. REL students were given the opportu nity to join a club or an organization of their choice. The approximate 42 service, interest and vocational clubs were as diversified as their members. Paying your dues meant not only in terms of money, but also in time and dedica- tion to the club's objective. As a member of Cosmetology. Health Occu- pations. D.E. and other vocational clubs, activi- ties provided learning skills helpful in choosing and preparing for a career. Service clubs, as the Leo. Lioness. Anchor and SADD promoted school and community involvement by helping in blood drives, food to needy families. Special Olympics and to stop drunk driving. Among the many interest clubs and organi- zations that encouraged academic achievement were Creative Writing. Debate. Orchestra, and French. German and Latin clubs. Also, promoting school spirit and participation in school activities were members of the Student Council. Brigadiers. Cheerleaders and Band. Open to all Lee students, club membership promotes a sense of belonging, a positive self image and the traditional Gander pride. 19SS Carfribc funMtMd by SUik Hal Photo K Ctady Galtwn A CLASSICAL TRADITION Top to bottom l«t tow.

GylU Headly The Classical Sound of Music Choir REL Choir classes received a ma- jor change when Mrs. Walker left on maternity leave during Christmas va- cation. Dana Olejniczak took her place with plans of receiving more awards during contests and starting an all-girls and allboys choir. She stated her feelings for her new job by replying, “It’s been hard adjusting, but everything's going great and I hope to make this year a success.” The Choir had two Region Choir winners: Shauna Thomas and There- sa Surles with alternate, Susan Bu- taud. On January 24, the Choir had a contest at Horace Mann Junior High where they came away with ten first- place (the best), two second-place, and two third-place awards. The Dix- ie Dolls performed a magical where they received two first-place. The judges were so impressed that they called the Dolls back to sing a few Pop songs. U1L. a concert and site reading performed by all choirs, was held in April at San Jacinto College and featured Lee’s Symphonic Cho- rale and the Girls Choir. A Pop Show in May featured a preview of acts to be performed during the spring trip and concert in Dallas by the Dixie Dolls and the Top Choir.

After gain- ing superior ratings and a nomination for the Award of Excellence at summer camp, the Gander cheerleaders won a Na- tional Cheerleader Association regional competition, giving the girls a shot at the national title in Orlando, Florida. “I’m really excited about going to Florida for nationals. All of the hard work really paid off, and I’m especially proud of the five new cheerleaders. No one would have ever guessed it was their first competition. The others helped out by showing them the ropes, but without Mr. Richard, none of it would have been possible.” said Sandy Bertsch, head cheerleader. Bertsch followed her junior All-American award with the right to compete in the N.C.A’s Best Cheerleader competition at the na- tional finals in December. This past year may well have marked Lee’s greatest achievements in the line of cheerleading,” commented sponsor, Richard. This was an exceptional group of girls working to- gether to get the job done.” At th«t Lee Sterling peprally, the cheerleaders ended a dance with a “kiss to the loot hall players Formtng a pyramid at a pep rally are Irom L-IO R .bottom row S Regum.

So- anne Hlllburn put the ctor on lop ot the Christ mar tree filled through school dances. Money that was left over was kept for next year, and will be used for school dances and other activities. Other than the academic re- quirement of having a 75 or above grade average with no conduct reports, students must have a willingness to serve the stu- dent body.

Annual- ly the Director of the Eighth Marine Corps District inspects the Marine Corps units across the nation. During the Inspection some of the items which are evaluated are: (1) Service- ability of uniforms, (2) proper care and wearing of uniforms, (3) check each cadets knowledge of the M.C.J.R.O.T.C. Program, and (4) the accountability, upkeep, and con- dition of all Marine Corps equipment and administration. This year the R.O.T.C. program here at REL re- ceived fourteen outstandings and three excellents in the eighteen var- ious fields which is a great accompo- lishment for the reputation of the unit and for Robert E.

Mr. Peoples’ re- sponse to his first year at Lee was, “Teaching at REL has been an excit- ing and rewarding experience. The students were a pleasure to work with and the quality of musicianship within the music department was great. Activities held throughout the year were a Christmas Concert at the Lee Auditorium in December fol- lowed by a fund raiser in January. The proceeds from selling candy were used to finance the group’s trip to Dallas and Six Flags Over Texas during spring vacation in March. They participated in U.I.L.

Members were encour- aged to practice good sportsmanship in all aspects of their lives,” said Mr. Herrington. Meetings were held each month in the home of one of the members or sponsors. They had speakers to talk about how Christian beliefs and sports can be combined. Mike Cle- ments. former graduate of Lee and actively involved in sports was one of many speakers who expressed their faith in God. The annual club activity was to work in the concession stand during all home basketball games. A fish fry was held in Beach City on February 7. Todd Cauley, President, said “The major goal for the year was to spread the word of God and at the same time be a successful athlete who relates his or her faith and Chris- tian beliefs to sports.” UnU,� l T Bottom tow M� Herrington.

Rick King said the reason he got into the club was because, “ I like to do things for the community, and I thought it would be fun because all my friends were in there. ” Yearly service activities include: delivering Thanksgiving baskets to needy fam- ilies. giving toys to children at Christ mas, a blood drive, and a car wash at the end of the year.

If students de- cide not to go to college, they can at least have the experience of a job, and won’t be starting at the bottom in the working world. “ 1 like being in D.E., ” said Charlotte Pankey. “ It gives me an advantage to move up in the business field.

In the Spring of 1981 that same group published the first issue of Mind Flight. For several years, the primary purpose of the club was to offer students an outlet for creative efforts by publishing Mind Flight. In 1983 the club began offering Mind Flight awards to stu- dents whose works were judged best of catagory from among those ac- cepted for the magazine. Plaques are presented to winners at the annual Honors Banquet. In the fall of 1985, acts of the state legislature resulted in the creation of a literary magazine class. Tammy Bright stated, “I’m glad that the club was started because it gives me a chance to be creative with no limitations.” Top row Kevin Rhode� , Brian Brock.

The pur- pose of this course is to give instruc- tion and to train students to meet licensing requirements for the Texas Cosmetology Commission at the end of the second year. Goals are revised frequently to keep current with the many specialized areas in cosmetolo- gy. Special equipment and materials provide students with “first hand ” experience to better prepare them in a career. VICA cosmetology did volunteer work in the community. The club donated Christmas gifts to the chil- dren at the Bay Area Rehabilitation Center, as well as collecting alumi- num for recycling.

Co op program provides a wide selection of job opportunities. Students learn about the world of work while on the job and at school. This dual approach enables students enrolled to reach maximum personal development, including employment potential, within their ability in the shortest possible time. Coopoerative Education involves learning the actual occupation but that is not enough to insure vocational success. Students must have an understanding of certain principals which are fundamental to success on any job. This involves the teaching of those concepts and values that enables an individual to experience success as a total person, both away from and within his world of work. Successful C.V.A.E. Coop students are em- ployed at a variety of levels all over Baytown. Students can work in a variety of occupational areas, so you might meet a C.V.A.E. Co-op student anywhere. With the skills taught in C.V.A.E. Co-op, students are well on their way to success soon after High School. Fim Period, front row Adam Mender. Hilda Rocha.

The club welcomes all students interested in academic and social development. This second year interest club is still struggling. “There was a problem in getting members to assume the responsibil- ity of running the club instead of rely- ing on the sponsor.

A large number of people are furthering their educations because of sports and sport scholarships. At REL. the big event for the year was beating Sterling in football. This was a classic year because we succeeded. Somehow, no matter how the football team has fared through the season, if we come up winners against Ross S. Sterling, then the student body loves the team, loves the sport, and somehow feel they can survive the school year. There are many sports that people can par- ticipate in at Lee. It doesn't matter how tall, short, big. small, or competitive you are. you can play some sport. This section is dedicated to the students who gave their time and energy to participate in the after school practices, the weekend meets, and the many nights each team must spend playing. Every member is a winner because they signed up and stuck with it. Each member is a classical example of pure “stickability. From Ml lo right Stall mtmbfn Drrr.etrut Uur. Maria CalUjav Tonya Hubert.

The opener brought LaMarque, the eventu- al class 5A state runner ups, into town. The shootout at Stallworth ended up being an embarrassment, 63-0. Two long road trips followed. The Ganders ran past Port Neches 33-21, and Port Arthur squeeked by Lee, 28-14. Things didn’t look good at this point in time, as the Ganders posted a 1-2 record going into district play. The district race opened when Pasadena visited Stall- worth stadium. The offense started off shakey but finished great. The 45-6 win upped the Ganders’ record to 2-2. The following week the Ganders traveled to Pasadena Memorial Stadium where they slipped past the Sam Rayburn Texans 14-7. North Shore was the first of a two game homestand. The Gan- ders shut out the Mustangs 20-0. The J. Frank Dobie Longhorns were the sec- ond team on the list of two. The Gan- ders worked hard for a 27-16 Home- coming victory. The playoff picture came closer into view but South Hous- ton dashed Lee’s chances for the time being. The Trojans protected their 24-6 win. Abshier Stadium in Deer Park was the next stop for Lee. The Deer and the Ganders battled to a 3-3 tie. One more chance awaited the Ganders for a play- off berth. Lee-Sterling game was next. Lee trounced on Sterling 20-14, the first win over Sterling by Lee since 1979. This win gave the Ganders a playoff position. Mike Carrroll turn up around end.

Building a good competi- tive team was a difficult task for this team and their coach, Ms. Mary Tay- lor. The key players of this team were Krista Bosse, Michelle Bonc- zynski, Jackie Gregersen. Quail Hart. Kim Patterson, and Lahoma Oden. The reflections from this past season will long be remembered by all the varsity players and their coach. LEE OPPONENT 16. 7. 5 Elttk 14. 15. 15 7. 14.

Only through hard work and pain did the 1986 Junior Varsity players, coached by Miss Payne, realize the full potential of their team. The girls played to a 6-8 record in district. The Junior Varsity team fared well all season long. The practices were long, hot, and exhausting. Even though they did not capture the dis- trict championship, they made every match a well fought one. The key players of the 1986 Junior Varsity Girls Volleyball team were Holli Pa- gel, Audrey Malone, Tammy Moses and Desiree Thomas, who per- formed consistently all season. Rhonda Raymond worked to perfect her set, while freshmen Bethany Dornberg, Myra Fields, and Kelly Mullins eagerly executed every task they were given. “These ladies worked hard to mold their personalities into a unified team,” said Coach Payne. “They overcame several adversities during the year and never let losing a close match affect their desire to win the next one. What they learned this sea- son will make them winners next LEE OPPONENTS 15. 8. 15 Elsik 7. 15. 9 4. 3 Village 15. 15 15. 11. 11 Dickinson 7. 15. 15 13. 7 Galena Park 15. 15 9. 15. 13 Pasadena 15. 5. 15 15. 14. 15 Rayburn 5. 16. 9 15. 15 North Shore 7. 8 9. 15. 12 Dob 15. 12. 15 7. 16. 5 South Houston 15. 14. 15 15. 12. 11 Deer Park 10. 15. 15 15. 15 Galena Park 13. 11 17. 15. 7 Sterling 15. 8. 1 15. 15 Pasadena 12. 9 5. 17. 9 Rayburn 15. 15. 15 15. 15 North Shore 5. 11 4. 15. 6 Dobie 15. 10. 15 15. 15 South Houston 10. 11 15. 11. 9 Deer Park 4. 15. 15 Front row Rhonda Raymond, Myra Fields.

Long hours of hard work and dedication were put in by the 1986 freshman team to get the record of 9- 6. All through the season they worked hard to accomplish their goals. The key players of this team were Michelle McKune, Kristi Fore- man, Rhonda Gunther, Porchelle Headly, and Jennifer McCormick. Coach Scott and Coach Taylor brought this team to a winning victo- ry with a lot of hard work and prep- aration. Everyone was proud of their showing and are looking forward to the next year when they will move up to another winning season.

The 1986-87 Varsity team com- pleted their season with a record of 13 wins and 17 losses. In district play they won four and lost ten. Senior forward, James Riley re- plied, “ If we played like a team, we would have done a lot better in dis- trict.” Senior Clyde Joseph who plays the guard position felt the dis- appointment for a district title was due to, “the loss of our early games brought the team down.” Junior, Ted Bradley, center for the squad, felt, “ More discipline was needed on the team.” Regardless of the statistics, the Varsity Basketball team did a good job and the fans4 support was ever present.

Lending in scoring for the JV’s were Chris Devor, Doug Tadlcok, and Michael White. Kevin Baskin felt, “We played more like a team. More experience in basketball would have helped the over all record,” according to Rodney Minkins. Andre Haynes stated that, “ Our offense brought us down.” Although every- one has their own ideas, the JV team came up a little short. The important thing about the season was summed up by their coach, Tyronne John- son, when he stated, ‘‘They played hard all year.” Tied for second place in district, the Sopho- more Basketball team had a successful season. Toby Harris said, The key to our good season was that we played like a team.” When the team got down, everyone pulled together to get the team back up, added Jo Jo Edwards. The sophomores came through with an 18-9 season record and 10-4 in district play. Coach James Alexander was very pleased with the work the team did this season. Coach Al,” as his team affectionately calls him, commented, They worked hard for every ball game. Strong effort and hard work is what brought us to district.

Coach Leonard Villarreal said, “ We had a rough start at the beginning but when the team regrouped, they played great!” According to Coach Jaimes Hillln, the Fresh- man B team for the 1986-87school year had, “A great season! They played real hard and I was very proud of them. The team finished their season with a record of 17 wins and 2 losses, with a district record of 12 wins and 2 losses.

Gene Bosse, the Ganders had a satisfying season. Coach Bosse stated, “I feel that we had a good season even though we had a small team. We had three quality people who would score in any meet that we would go to.” The team did deal with their small num- ber well. They placed third in the Regional meet, taking highlights of the season was Chris Crooms per- formance. Crooms broke two school records and then went to the state meet.

In the 800 m relay, ran by Kirleen and Frances Auguste, Lisa Peters, and Krista Bosse. This year’s time was much better than last years. A 1:46.90 time this year and 1:48.50 for last year. To have a better 400 m relay the REL Girls Track needed one more quick girl. Losing two Sen- iors next year, the girls track team expects to improve even more.

Keith Loh- kamp. Len Noble filled a place for the juniors, and the four remaining slots were filled with sophomores. The Ganders began their practices before school and played all year. Ron Gar- rett stated, “Coach Schima pushed us hard, but the results were worth it.” The Ganders worked hard and re- ceived a number 15 ranking in state. They had a good overall average and an excellent district record. You might think a young team would have prob- lems getting along. Keith Lohkamp summed it up by saying, “Coach Schima helped us work together as a team. There were team meetings to discuss important decisions, everyone had an equal vote. One bright spot with a young team is that like everyth- ing else they grow. This team has 2 or 3 years left to gain experience and learn to work together as a team. Therefore, we can expect only better teams in the near future. The team had a great season and a lot of fun. Their next season should be just as successful and hopefully just as fun.

Coach Perez has a special attitude toward tennis, “She wanted us to have fun.” said Grace. Along with some good tour- nament showings the girls did nicely in all their matches. The girl’s team always had a good time at tourna- ments. They set up blankets, radios, and even T.V.’s They enjoyed the day-off from school and also the competetive tennis.

Endurance and speed are two main qualities necessary in Cross Country. To keep these physical attri- butes, the runner’s work-out can consist of a four to eight mile run, five day a week. They also must tone their muscles with weight lifting. We didn’t have many runners but the ones we had worked very hard. said Gene Bosse the team’s coach. The ten man, two woman team attend- ed meets here, at Deer Park, Clear Creek, Dobie and Sterling. “It’s a sport that lets me be on my own but allows me to be on a team and feel that 1 belong.’’ was senior Reggie Delgado’s reason for joining the Cross Country team. Delgado is a four year veteran of the team. Although it is not a contact sport, Cross Country runners who can be over-com- petitive might accidently” push or elbow you, or step on your feet with their spikes. The Cross Country finished fourth in the District and Coach Bosse feels that, “For the amount of people we had out, we competed pretty well.” Junto� Vanity Crow Country runner� .

Lee 1986-87 swim- ming teams had an overall good sea- son. Even though they placed third in district, they are still on top. “In many of their meets they did excep- tional work, stated Coach McClean. Their work was achieved through Coach McClean’s goal to build on the past traditional of the swim team and remain competetive in the district championship meet. David Buntin, captain of the boy's swim team, set a new REL record in 200 free style race 2:09.00 Buntin was also a Re- gional Finalist, he placed 2nd in the 50 free style, and 2nd-100 free style. Throughout the season his total points were 185.75. David Buntin has had a great year as a junior and the team hopes that he continues good performances next year as a senior. In the District Championship meet Jennifer Tyler, Jennifer Greenawalt, Judy Hodgson, and Ruth Barrow placed 1st in the 400 free style relay which contributed to 3rd place-overall district finish.

Lee divers team for the 1986-87 year had a fair season. Consider- ing having to compensate for the loss of divers and much controversy the divers competed very well. They always tried their best under any conditions. Because of academic prob- lems, the few people who were diving had to go back and concentrate on swimming. This was the reason that they did not compete in district this year.

They were coached by Joe Herzik who gave his time and effort which led the boys to a great year. The team consisted of seven players, four of whom lettered. During the season Jason McCain placed third in the Clear Lake Tournament and Scott McWil- liams placed third in a tie at the Goose Creek Invitational. The team is losing one senior but should have a fine team next year. On the other hand, the girls had a five member team this year. The team composed of 2 freshmen, and one returning lettermen, Kathy Tilton. The girls participated in the district which required travel to Lake Hous- ton to compete. They placed second in the district with Amy Richards in the first team All District and Kathy Tilton. Kerry Tilton, and Jennifer McCormick all placed in the second team All District. “The team is a young and inexperienced one. We are build- ing a new team; so we have a lot of room to improve.

One of which, was the number of players on the team. The team lost their starting goalie when he broke his jaw in the second district game. The team also lost players to other sports, and the no-pass-no play rule. “We never gave up any of the games, even when we were way be- hind, stated senior Gibi Luna. The team was led in scoring by senior Raul Ortiz. The defense was led by senior Gibi Luna when he wasn’t in the goal box. For the sec- ond year in a row the team graduat- ed seven seniors. In over all play, the team's record was 3-9-3. The team finished fourth in district play, tied with cross town rival — Sterling. “Even though we didn't win very often, we proved we had pride. said senior goalie Isreal Gonzales.

Sophomore, or Junior, or even how cute or pretty you were as a Senior. There are football games, pep rallies, and just being with your friends or with a special friend. It is a place to remember who the class officers or class favorites were. There is also a place to remember the Senior Fish Fry and making money for prom. It was happy times like meeting new friends and doing new things. There were sad times too; like losing a big game, breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend and the saddest time of all or for some the happiestGr aduat ion. Class sections is a group of pages that contain all the memories of each of your classmates' faces. It is probably the most used section of the yearbook. Sulf nwmbfH Irom left to right Demetna Lair.

Mitchell re- plied she likes being a Freshman offi- cer because she can participate in Student Council activities. Lockett said,” It is good being a Freshman officer because you do a lot of activi- ties. Some of the jobs you do as a Freshman officer are to set a good example for your fellow classmates. You also have to be present at all meetings.” Lockett said, “ Yes I would run for office again, because I enjoyed meeting new people. I also liked all the different things I did.” Left to Right Staci Mitchell. Vice President and Capdca Turnbull.

This year’s goal was to acquire knowledge about becoming leaders of the high school, not followers, and to take active roles in society. When asked what inspired you to run for president, Thompson replied, “Being head of the class inspired me as well as my friends suggesting that I run.” He also added that he has hope for the presidency his junior and seniors years as well. The core of the sophomore offi- cers is to make sure that the student body gets all they need and want, and to make school as fun as possi- ble. The president commented, “ I feel that everyone should strive to be the best they can in everything they do.” Sophomote Cia� Olficers are from kit to nght, 8rett Bolcrrak.

Lee. The class favorites were nominated by grade level. A list of nominations was given to the Student Council who made ballots of students who were nominated in more than three different homerooms. During the first week of March, students returned to homeroom to elect class favorites and General and Miss Robert E. Lee. The winners were announced at Spring Dance on March 14. -I-I-1-1-1.1-I-I. |. I . , . , ilia Freshman a V Coming from a small Junior High, a large Junior High, or a Private School all students enter High School with high hopes and many expectations. Entering into a I huge high school with over 2,000 . students, was quite an experience } for some of the in coming Fresh- men. From “do you want to buy 4- an elevator ticket” to “Fish, out of ■ water”, the lower class on the lad- der in High School suffered many 0 hardships in class and out. However, some of them came out on top of the class. Being elected a Class Favorite is a great honor because it showed that these people came out their shell and made the best of a new situa- tion. Kristen Twardowski stated, “ 1 thank all the people who voted for me. Because I came from St. Jo- seph’s School and I didn’t know that many people knew me.” Kris- ten has been a cheerleader, and a member of the French Club since she has been at Lee. Stephanie Ferguson comment- ed, 1 was really shocked and sur- prised when I heard that I had been elected a class favorite.” Stephanie came from Baytown Ju- nior High and has participated in the Brigadiers, the Latin Society, and the J.R.A.’s here, at Lee. Brian Naismith replied. It felt good to be elected a class favorite because I don’t know all the peo- ple of the freshman class.

Some of the 1987 seniors did some rather unique things . such as: Spen- cer Conner said, “When I was about six years old I was at my grandmoth- er’s house and I was looking for my cap gun. I looked in my grandmaw’s drawer in her room and I found her .38 special and I thought it was my cap gun. I started playing with it and I pulled the trigger and blew a four inch hole in her bedroom wall.’’ Ja- nice Downing simply stated, “ I ate crayons.” Mark Johnston made ca- reer plans early, “ 1 wanted to grow up to be a dancer. Sidney Moore was a helpful child, “ I painted the kitchen floor while mom was watch- ing TV.” Tammie Porter developed a new method of locomotion. “When I was little instead of crawling 1 scoot- ed on my rear end.

Chairman of the Board 211 Administration Head of the Class The heart of REL is without a doubt, Mr Armstrong, the principal. Mrs. Linda Bryant, his secretary, keeps the heart pumping. They keep the school organized and under con- trol. Working for the school, not only requires the designated duties, but also requires attendance at all school activities. Other than the obvious jobs con- ducted by the principal of any school, Mr. Armstrong’s other activi- ties include teacher evaluations, board meetings,and supervision of all school functions. Mr. Armstrong has very little spare time, but when he does he enjoys swimming to keep in shape. His job goal is, “To use leadership, supervisory, and administrative skills to promote the best possible educa- tional program for the students. He keeps parents informed about the school program and how their chil- dren are progressing. He also plans and supervises fire drills and emer- gency preparedness program. Aside from being a wife and moth- er, Mrs. Bryant has many other du- ties to fulfill in a secretary’s day. She does a lot more than sit behind a desk and answer the phone. A few of her responsibilities inclu- de,sending out payroll, ordering and issuing supplies, preparing a daily bulletin, maintaining good public re- lations in the main office, and above all, assisting the school principal with his duties. Although Mrs. Bryant has a large area of responsibility to cov- er, she always find time for the stu- dents and visitors of the school. “I like everything about my job. Mr. Armstrong is a wonderful person to work for and I really enjoy all the people I work with,” commented Mrs. Bryant. To sum it all up, Mr. Armstrong stated, “I enjoy my job. Associating with young people keeps me young.” 0� . Bill Kennedy.

The yearbook members are assigned to two designated weeks to sell ads to local busin- esses. During the designated time, the mem- bers had to sell $150 to earn an “a for the two weeks. The money members received from selling ads contributes to the lower cost of the yearbook and helps pay for it as well. This year the staff photographers were able to receive hands on experience taking pictures for the advertising section. The photographers went on location to take pictures for the busin- esses who requested them. After taking the picture, the photographers have to process and print the pictures. Once printed the advertising staff crops and places the pictures in the provided space. The adver- tising section is then completed and mailed to the plant. The yearbook staff would like to thank the advertisers that donated their time, money, and support. From Ml 10 right Photography Editor. Laura Con- treras. Head Photographer Reggie Delgado.

Through the fog of sleep the announcer is coming across with, “Robert E. Lee High School is on fire.” The blaze began at 3:15 a.m. and is still roaring. As the morning wears on. the crowd grows, some in tears, all with a look of amazement as people watch their be- loved school burn. It will never be the same again. Pride will remain for- ever. but the building as it was. will be no more. Though the building was gutted, the name and what it stands fot remain intact (Photo by Cratg Contreras) General Knowledge “Robert E. Lee High School is burn- ing!” Those were the first words heard by most Baytown residents on Wednes- day, April 29, 1987 as an early morn- ing fire ravaged the 58-year old land- mark. Mrs. Ann Sullivan. Lee English teacher, expressed her sentiments as she watched in disbelief and said, “It's heartbreaking. 1 really loved that school.” The fire was spotted at 3:15 a.m. by a Baytown police officer, and appears to have started on the second floor of the main building, the oldest part of the school. The main building was totally destroyed, which included the adminis- trative and counseling offices, and math classrooms on the first floor. The com- mons was heavily damaged, but was not lost. The English and business edu- cation classrooms on the second floor were also destroyed. Approximately 35 of the school’s 85 classrooms were a total loss, with ever- ything including furniture, text books, computers, typewriters, and school supplies destroyed. The schools’ li- brary, cafeteria, auditorium, cosmetolo- gy, homemaking, vocational education classes, choir, band and brig classrooms and the two gyms remained intact. However, there was extensive smoke and water damage in the school library. Fire Chief, V.H. “Buddy” McBride, a 1951 Lee graduate, expressed a tearful emotion when he realized they couldn’t save the building, although they con- tained the fire by 7 a.m. He said “It was a tragedy for all of the Baytown com- munity.” The portion of the school lost in the fire was the original building, built in 1928, as the city’s only high school, until Ross Sterling was later built. School officials estimated $10 million as the replacement cost of the main building and as much as $30 million to build a new high school. The district had replacement insurance, with $100,000 deductible. An investigative firm. Crane, McDowell Company, was engaged to determine the source and cause of the fire. The Baytown Fire Department and the district's insurance company, the First Agency, also con- ducted an investigation. Officials opened the school vault on May 4 to find all the documents in good condition.

The documents were boxed by the Don Truell Restoration Company which was contract- ed by the district to handle and preserve the contents of the vault, trophy case, and school library. Treasured photographs of Robert E. Lee, along with portraits of two coaches, the late Dan Stallworth and Beverly Rockhold were found. The huge portraits of All-American Herb Gray, Tom ‘‘Swede’’ Stolhandske and David “Kosse Johnson, three former Gander football heroes, were also saved. School officials began immediately taking care of short-term plans for finishing the 1986-87 school year. Classes were cancelled for three days while officials moved the 2,179 Lee stu- dents into shared facilities at the Ross Sterling campus. For the remaining 20 days of school, class schedules were maintained. Classes were shortened from 55 minutes to 40 minutes, and approved by the Texas Education Agency. The school day was structured with Sterling students in the morning and Lee in the afternoon. Lynn Galloway Lemmon, a Dallas attorney drove to Baytown upon hearing about the fire. She said, ‘‘I have fond memories that will never be destroyed.” As a former 3-year Lee cheer- leader, ‘‘I encourage all students, past and pre- sent, to keep that traditional Gander spirit alive.” Fife truck trend In readme� near Lee' wet! wing to prevent the tpread of further flame� that dettroyed the main budding in an unexpected early morning fire Student gather to mourn their lot .

Robert E. Lee High has seen many types of students pass through the halls, but never in a million years did these students think they would be the last class to attend the REL that stands as a landmark as the oldest high school in Baytown. Although the school did burn, the memories, pride, and tradi- tion will always live in the hearts and souls of the graduating class of 1987. These quotes from some of the seniors revealed their feelings of REL: Adam Mendez: We should have been able to graduate early. Laura Crane: It's just not fair; it’s a Baytown tradition. Kevin Townsend: I wanted to graduate from the real REL. Michel Streitman: Going to another school just doesn’t com- pare to Lee. Ricky Wagner: It’s going to take years to rebuild Lee as it was!
