Wddd — — Many exciting and newsworthy events made waves during the 1987-88 school year at Robert E. Lee. The effect of these waves rippled down to Lee students, sometimes proving detrimental and sometimes rewarding. The positive way in which everyone responded to these waves, however, showed that REL is a school which can easily change with the tide. The beginning of the school year marked the stirring of many new waves around campus. For the first time in Lee's history, students sported knee-length walking shorts and mini-skirts with no fear of being sent home for violating the dress code. Seniors adjusted to the change in their class principal by welcoming Zeb Cantley to Lee. And. of course, students experienced the all-new receipt system when buying food in the cafeteria. As football season commenced, some very dramatic waves swelled up for the Raiders. Crowds welcomed the band's up beat sound and marching formations due to the direction of new leader, Brett Johnson. The Southern Belles added to half time entertainment with their dazzling new uniforms. Finally, a team made Lee history with its first-ever playoff spot and sparked a new spirit among REL fans. Unfortunately, though, one tragic event somewhat dimmed the otherwise highlighted season. The freak lightning accident in which six junior varsity players were Injured. Micah Zapata quite critically, had a sobering effect on Lee students. This incident served, however, to unify students even further as they joined to pray for and help with the students' recoveries. Other occurences in the fall increased ecstatic J feelings among the Raiders. The tennis team slammed its way to a State Champion title. Students elected a Homecoming King for the first time. Many students attended on-campus Bibl studies during their lunch periods, until the grou attracted wide spread attention and were banne by the adminstration. enforcing TISD policies. As the warm feelings of the fall faded awa the winter stormed in with some cold accepte waves. Because of two days missed due to ic weather conditions. TISD added two days to th end of the year calender, forcing the senior Raic ers to graduate on June 3 instead of the origins May 28. Then, because of the hazing of th freshmen guys by the senior guys. TISD mad decisions to end all activities they remotely cor sidered forms of hazing. Cheerleader and Office-candidates no longer enjoyed the fun of dress-u day. where previously those trying out had the faces outlandishly made-up and performei cheers or high kicks around campus, under th direction of the current cheerleaders and Bell Officers. Also, first-ever standardized departmer tal mid terms did little to excite most Lee sti dents. Now disheartened by the changing condition; Raiders quickly attempted to make the best c their situation. Tired of complaining about th closed campus, students decided to enjoy thei hour-long lunches by introducing a new fad -domino games. Despite some unfavorabl changes, spirit remained alive through the winte months, as students awaited the spring. Spring budded forth with a variety of nei changes. Students continued to adapt well, rollin on with the waves instead of allowing thcmselve to be drowned by the rushing current of change Thus, the changing tide of the 87-88 school yea definitely left students agreeing that Lee. indeec was making waves.” 2 Student Life Former business teacher Zeb Cantley returns to Lee replacing senior principal Gerald Barnes. New dress code reminds students not to tempt your fate in '88: to the knees, please! Under new direction the band shocks football crowds with numerous new formations. Scott Hager and Skee Leonard make local news with their on-campus, during lunch Bible study which was ultimately banned by administration. At a special pep rally. Lee’s tennis team received recognition for their first-ever State Championship. Student Life 3 Do Sarah and Hagen Jones think Jenny Roberta' muscles are a laughing matter?

Back to School Bash The beginning of school is often characterized by unfamiliar faces and familiar essays on What I did this summer. But one event which always lifts everyone's spirits is the Back to School Bash. This year was no exception. On September 11, Lee students were relieved from reports for a night to watch LTV. No not MTV. LTV! Videos were performed not by rock stars and the commercials were not for Levi’s and scooters, but for Tyler merchants. This year’s successful bash was a result of many meetings and rehearsals, but it was definitely worth all the work to watch all of the kid’s enthusiastic response,” remarked Patricia Hampe.chairman. The Bash is usually PTA’s most successful fundraiser. This year they raised $2800. Not only was the bash successful for the PTA but for all who attended as well. Skits based on popular television programs such as “Dallas and Miami Vice” were enacted by students and provided a break in the action as models from various organizations on campus sported the latest athletic, casual. and formal fashions. “I’ve always loved the Back to School Bash. Ever since I was a freshman, it's been a chance to see friends I haven’t seen all summer and jam at the first soc-hop,” recalls senior Paige Prince. Each year she has played a vital role in the production, whether it be by modeling or acting as emcee of the entertaining evening. One thing I don’t understand are the parts I am usually asked to play. Last year I was an airhead from the fifties and this year I was Chrissy Snow from Three’s Company . Do they think I am an airhead or something? “It was fun watching all of the oilter girls dam fid Kent, Freshman Back to School Bash 5 Red Raider Rail' As one meandered slowly toward the horseshoe parking lot, the aroma of fantastic funnel cakes, sizzling hamburgers, and delicious fajitas filled the air, along with the cheers of successful dart throwers and jeers of prospective dunking booth dunkers. It soon became obvious that it was time for the annual fund raiser, the Red Raider Rally, and it was easy to see that for all participating organizations, MONEY MATTERS! Each October, a school wide carnival takes place in which most school clubs participate and profit. This year was no exception. One could eat fried cheese, funnel cakes, baked potatoes, smores, doughnuts, hamburgers, cherry delights, and pizza while throwing darts, shooting hoop”, getting their faces painted, watching arm wrestling, or putting friends in jail. Red Raider Rally is one of the biggest fund raisers of the year,” observed Jai Jones, senior sponsor, but it’s not as vit to our class as the underclassmen.

These Freshmen belong behind bars. Red Raider Rally 7 Homecominc A sell out crowd of enthusiastic Raider fans gathered at Rose Stadium on Friday night. October 30. anticipating the 1987 Homecoming game against Marshall High. The football team’s 24 to 7 victory over Lufkin the previous weekend fired up a new wave of spirit among both former Yancey and David Breedlove received firs runner-up recognition. Then Shawnte’ Tay lor was crowned the 1987 Homecomin; Queen and Corey Mayfield was announce. as the first-ever R £I hear my name. It w Jou Utfune Homecoming King After the conclu sion of pre-gam. ceremony, footbal action began, a non and current Lee students, as all packed the stands dressed in vibrant reds, girls sporting mums and guys clutching air horns, cowbells. spirit towels, and other Raider paraphernalia. The warm, muggy weather characteristic of REL Homecomings, failed to dampen the exuberant audience as pre-game ceremonies commenced. The ten king and queen candidates filed around the track in red convertibles and took their positions on the field, anxiously awaiting the announcement of the 1987 Homecoming King and Queen and First Runners-up. As the winners were announced. Venita stop, energetic game of Raider football at it best. Raiders dominated the game, ending i in a sweet 33 to 16 victory over the Mav ericks. An ecstatic group of fans then head ed to Harvey Hall for further celebration a the annual dance. Homecoming 1987 definitely stirred uj some new waves with its many first-tim. events. The recognition of Homecoming as a time for REL graduates and the election of a king sparked some new interest to the cer emony. The winning game, however, whicl assured the Raiders a play off spot, how ever, certainly resulted in the best first-time of them all. 8 Homecoming REL Chorale nominees Roslyn Blbby and Dar-win Cain flash their smiles to the crowd. French Club nominee Regina Frank and Southern Belle nominee Allen Stiles pose for a sideline picture. There was no debating over Kristi Jones' nomination by the National Forensic League.

Put them all together and what do you get? Rivalry week! The cheerleaders, who organized the festive dress-up days, decided to base theme days on popular songs such as:“WIPE OUT the Lions on Beach Day,“WE'RE BAD on Tough Day.hunt the Lions with “JUNGLE LOVE on Camouflage Day.let's hear some “OLD TIME ROCK-N-ROLL on Fifties Day, and we’re the “COLOR OF SUCCESS on Color Day (red and white). Head cheerleader, Regina Frank, gave all the cheerleaders credit for the successful themes. On the way home from the Lufkin game, we were excited because we won. We just started yelling out songs and days that would go with them. It was really easy-I guess because we were so excited about the I possibility of going to the playoffs.” The entertaining week came to a close on Friday night as both J.T. and Lee took the field at Rose Stadium. A chilling night air accompanied by an ominous full moon set the mood for the fiercely fought battle ahead. For the entire first half, it was REL who dominated the contest as Bryan Wixom rushed for a touchdown and Chris Renner booted a perfect field goal. During the second half, however, John Tyler scored twice to take a 14-10 lead which would eventually result in a Lion victory. Although this years Rivalry Week ended in a disappointing loss, the Raider Spirit withstood the game and carried the football team into the playoffs against different Lions, those of Waco High. Samantha Fischer and Amy Hall know “Big girl don't cry”, even when J.T beats Lee 14-10. Even this camouflage won't be enough for Brian Fleming and Cullen Wall to escape the parking lot attendants. 'fyoasi Oam ct “Dressing up was a cute idea. It built spirit and was fun to see what everyone wore. Hunt the lions day was my favorite.“-Teri Ann Sheffield, freshman. “Rivalry Week is a time when high school spirit is at its highest and every student gets involved in order to show support for the team.“-Russ Johnson, junior.

Jay Kay and the TEAM to Lee's first playoff ever. Laura Pickle. Erin Smuts, and Lori Kim-mel prove that spirit at Lee is a group effort. “The sun that sets may never rise, but Raider Spirit never dies.” 12 Spirit These guys are full of it — Spirit! All that cheering has definitely affected Caroline Kelley and Baren Kamp. The student section is known for their rowdy cheering”.

Instead, these events served as part of the constantly flowing current of tradition that keeps Lee springing forth with activity. Whether sponsored after football games in the fall or as special fundraisers for clubs in the spring, the soc-hops caused the old cafeteria to be lined continually with every type of shoe, from the traditional Bass bluchers and Keds sneakers to fringed boots and snake-skin trimmed Adidas tennis shoes. This year, students found themselves packing K-Gym to jam to new tunes like Prince’s “U Got the Look and the Beach Boys' and the Fat Boys’ “Wipe Out. Everyone also enjoyed the all-time favorites like “Shout, “La Bamba, and The Cotton-Eyed Joe. Truly, soc-hops continued to prove a source of fun-filled entertainment to all who participated. Enthusiastic students kept soc-hops rolling with the waves, never allowing them to stand still with inactivity.

Although some may not agree with that statement as this year’s theme, all Seniors took the opportunity of Senior Assembly to look back over their past four years at Lee and at the same time say good bye in many different ways. Skits made up most of the show as students took great enjoyment in acting out their views of the administration. One group of guys impersonated school leaders such as Mr. Cantley, Mrs. Mosely. and Rockin' Ruby Hamilton. Others, posed as terrorists, kidnapped a mock Mr. Hall and made demands for his release such as nice librarians, no dress code, and open campus for everyone who owns a car or knows someone who owns a car. Pure talent was also present as Lisa Costillo performed a modern ja22 routine and Mande Marshall. Danica Key, and Teresa Kirk sang “Stand By Me , accompanied by a student band.

Varsity candidates elected were Amy Schoenbrun, Suzie Wheeler. Amanda Keane. Giily Hitt. Jennifer Tefteller, Jeannie Johnson. Tiffany Daughtry. Caroline Kelly, Sarah Jones. Soon it was all over and the gym floor was swamped with congratulating friends and consoling tears and another successful Spring Festival, put on by the drama department, resulted in many exciting memories. “After the ninth person was called, I was about to walk ouj the back. When they called my name, I was in shock! — Amy Schoenbrun, Junior crowd got Z exactly what they paid for. as the announcement of beauties, handsomes. and favorites took place between performances by Good Vibrations and the presentations of newly elected class officers. The highlights of the evening came near the close of the program.

Senior Prom After two months of painting, drawing, building, and arranging, everything came together to create ‘Tve Had the Time of My Life” — Senior Prom ’88. The theme, named after the popular song from the blockbuster hit Dirty Dancing, was carried out in many ways. Adorning the door was a marquee surrounded by chaser lights announcing the opening of the Raider Theater. “Now Playing” was The Time Of My Life-Starring Seniors ’88.” Inside, this was actually true. A continuous slide show ran all night featuring some of the most memorable times during the seniors four years at Lee. Covering the walls were four murals. 32 feet long by 9 feet wide, one for each of their four years, on which were drawn noteworthy world news, political personalities, and school events. The refreshments included hot buttered popcorn, milk duds, and candy bars in keeping with the movie theme. All of these decorations were almost over- shadowed by the fabulous band Micheal Micheal and the Max. This band from San Antonio kept the over 500 strong crowd dancing until after midnight by playing such popular tunes as “Animal by Def Leppard. “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and original songs like “Sex Machine” and “The Bath Song.” “The seniors worked really hard,” praised sponsor Jane McDaniel. We spent many Saturday and Sunday afternoons, as well as working after school. The results were obvious.” Everyone had a blast and most agreed it was everything they wanted prom to be. It was a real party — definitely beyond what I could expect from a normal dance,” said Lance Barbin. Senior Senator Cathy Owens added,“lt meant a lot to me because I worked so hard on the decorations. It’s a night I’ll treasure in my memory forever! ■ Senior Prom 23 l-ance Barbin.

Kelly Gilliam listens intently to last-minute instructions given by Ms. Chennault. “The Head of the Class” another honor to cap off her four years at Robert E. Lee, that of Valedictorian. This distinction won Bonner many additional awards as well. She will attend Texas Christian University on the M.E Sadler Award, which is a full scholarship of $25,000 for four years. She also received a $300 scholarship given by American Association for University Women, plus she earned the Rotary Award and the English Department award. “Only I can make myself reach the standards I set,” remarked Carlajo on her many achievements. “I set my goals and work as hard as I can to achieve them.” In Bonner’s academic future, she will continue to strive for success as she will double major in computer science and mathematics at TCU. After being “Sophomore of the Year,” National Merit Finalist, Academic De-cathalon member, in Key Club, Jets-Jas, NHS, the Red Raider Band, and Flag Corps, Carlajo Bonner received yet 24 Graduation Top Twenty Graduates Carlajo Bonner, Matt Conrad, Rachelle Sheffield, Shel-I ley Pasierb, Stephen !

The floor of the Oil Palace was filled by six o'clock and the students began their long-awaited walk (graduation was moved back one week due to snow days). After the welcome by Mr. Hall, an Invocation was given by class president. Karl Loftis, and the pledge was led by Carlajo Bonner. Several members of the REL Choral led the Alma Mater. Voted by fellow class members, senate president Rodney Symes gave the commencement address. Soon, the graduates received their diplomas and following the benediction, given by Matt Conrad, tossed the mortar boards in a final goodbye to REL. When asking for a description of Matt Conrad, one might receive such responses as “well-rounded,” “funny, “determined,” “athletic,” “biggest flirt” (he was a finalist voted by fellow classmates), or “Most likely to Succeed” (which he won in the Senior Assembly). The most prestigious description, however, would be “Salutatorian” as he finished his four years at Lee with a 104.819 average. Conrad swept the Awards Assembly by winning the M.E. Sadler Merit Scholarship, Mathematic Department Award, Bausch and Lomb Award, American Legion Award, and Rotary Award. He is also a National Merit Finalist. With all these honors, it seems Matt would stay couped up in his room, studying. This is not the case, however. He finds the time to be Jcts Jas President. Senior Senator, Latin Club member, on Principal's Student Advisory Committee, and a member of Junior Civi tans. He has also been on the Varsity Tennis team for four years and helped them to their first ever state championship. Along with the Valedictorian, Conrad will be attending TCU and will major In Biology. Graduation 25 pages are those winners from Spring Festival. Although we chose only to feature these few people Lee is very fortunate to be full of standouts and Wave Makers . Near the close of the school year, each student had the opportunity to nominate their choice for class favorites, beauties, and handsomes. A special panel of teachers and students were responsible for the nominations of Mr. and Miss Robert E. Lee. At a later date, everyone voted on the finalists and from that, three winners were chosen in each category. After much debate and controversy, the announcement of these winners took place at Spring Festival, along with the introduction of the cheerleaders for the upcoming year. Although many parents became concerned with the feelings of those who lost, students rallied together to remind all of the honor of being a finalist, and the tradition of Spring Festival survived.

As always, Lee students dominated the U1L contests from literary criticism to ready writing. Organizations managed to escape the campus to have a little fun. Fashion Merchandising classes traveled to the Apparel Mart in Dallas, Biology II students observed open heart surgery in Houston, JETS-JAS journeyed to Texas A M, and the s V tudent Senate offered a chance for people to serve as leaders while involving themselves in campus and community projects. The Senate consisted of 56 members — executive and class officers, senators. and scnators-at-large — all in student body elected positions. This year, the Senate allowed third period class representatives to attend meetings, hoping to gain more input from Lee students on activities they would like to see implemented by the Senate. On Tuesday, October 13, Senate members attended an all day retreat to initiate new members and begin planning upcoming fall events. On October 30, all involved saw their hard work pay off at Homecoming. Organization of special pre-game and half-time ceremonies and the aftergame dance rested on Senate. Members spent five weeks relentlessly drawing and painting and an entire Friday at Harvey Hall decorating. Rachcllc Sheffield, chairman of the event, responded, “I have never felt so much pressure on me before. I think everyone must have hated me and my griping by the day of the dance. Everyone worked so hard, though. I could not have been more pleased with the results.” In December, Senate sponsored the campus Decorating Rooms Contest. Three third period classes won and eight received honorable mention for their creative displays of Christmas spirit. Members also visited Hearthstone Nursing Home to carol and distribute seasonal gifts to the elderly there. With January came the Toga Soc-hop. Then February and March brought preparation for and election of next year’s Class and Executive officers, along with additional trips to the nursing home. In April, Rodney Symes organized a community project, a carwash for the Care Shelter in Tyler. Members raised over $260 to benefit the teens living there. Rodney felt. “What could be better than teens helping less fortunate teens In the community? It's nice to see that the Senate members care so much.” Senate participated in Drug Awareness Week by displaying a wrecked car on campus with slogans against drinking and driving. They also distributed fliers about the drug for each theme day to third period classes. On April 20, Senate sponsored their second blood drive, surpassing the also successful fall drive, with donations totaling 90 pints of blood. Chairman Joey Redding offered incentives like, “classroom parties and cash prizes from a drawing for individuals who donated to attract student Interest. In May, Senate purchased red mini-blinds for the windows in the front of C-unit. They also sponsored a Faculty Appreciation Day. encouraging school-wide participation. They brough their year to a close with the annual Senate Bash,” a party for all members. Right: Wendy Jones and Cathy Owens spread some Yuletide cheer to nursing home residents.

Yet somehow, they did Itl The cheerleaders attended NCA camp at Oklahoma University during June returning with many awards and recognitions that proved this squad would not be forgotten. During their week at camp, they received three superior ribbons, one outstanding ribbon, and the spirit stick. They were also the first REL cheerleader squad In history to be nominated for the Award of Excellence. During August the cheerleaders competed in the Foley's Cheer-off.

Under the new band directors, the band increased in size and excellence. The new band directors, Mr. Brett Johnson and Mrs. Allison Johnston, contributed to this change. A new marching style, new music, and new uniforms for the flag corps added to the half time show. The band also performed at pep rallies, the Rose Parade, and the Christmas Parade. Seventeen band members placed in the All Region Competition. This is one of the largest groups from Lee to ever place. Not only did the band practice during seventh period each day, but the band members stayed after school until 5:30 for the majority of the first semester. Summer practices were also held to prepare for the upcoming year. When asked if the long hours of practice were worth it, band member Traci O’Quinn replied. Yes, because it all paid off in the end. We had a good band and a good time.” The high point of the year for the band members was performing in Texas Stadium. Drummer, Sam Lowe, concluded. The stadium was breathtaking. We had never played in a stadium that large.” £ £ The best part of band is performing ... definitely, performing. — Robert Noe, junior Below: The drummers lead the way to an early morning pep rally.

Many people failed to realize the importance of being able to get up in front of people and feel comfortable doing it. The design of Speech I focused on beginning speakers. Students taking speech learned how to make various types of speeches on many different subjects. Everyone. regardless of their ability at the beginning of the year, improved by the end of the year. After taking speech, students knew at least the contents of making a good speech. The Debate Team consisted of REL students who are superior in speaking in front of others. Members enjoyed persuasive public speaking and were constantly thinking on their feet. The Debate Team attended various debate meets throughout the year, competing In three catagories of public speaking: cross-examination. Lin-coln-Douglas, and extemporaneous speaking. This year the team won District in all three events. Also for their fund raiser, the Debate Team held a donkey basketball game starring various students and teachers as their fund raiser.

Including the Back to School Bash, a booth at the Red Raider Rally, working the concession stand at Rose Stadium, the PTA Cultural Arts competition, and the PTA showcase. Art Club members also made special recognition banners for the cafeteria. These baners recognized winners in each acedemic area of the school who received honors at the district level and above. Fifteen senior members of the club participated In Regional Art Competition In January. Tiffany Shaw was a regional winner of a $500 scholarship for her outstanding portfolio.

They learned the basic structure of forming a sentence and writing thesis and research papers. Freshman English classes read works such as Romeo and Juliet and Great Expectations.” They also performed skits and plays dealing with Greek Mothology. The students learned to write essays on what they read. Sophomores researched and learned the basics of forming a composition into five paragraphs. In writing thesis papers they also learned how to use nouns, verbs, and sentence stuctures properly. Juniors learned how to analyze their novels and short stories. They wrote poetic papers using famous poems for ideas on their topics. Some English classes learned how to give specific Instructions by writing each step in making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The senior English students worked on writing and analyzing works like William Shakespeare’s Macbeth” and Charles Dickens’ A Talc of Two Cities.

T X he German Club, Lee’s smallest foreign language club, was certainly not small on activities. This year they held a Christmas Party where German foods, such as sauerkraut, sausage, cheeses, and of course, German chocolate cake were served. They also had a meeting at Old Frankfurt, a new German restaurant in Tyler. German club members also welcomed Mrs. Lowe back to teaching German at Lee. She introduced German hangman, a game which teaches students to learn German words while providing fun in the classroom. Michelle Parker, a German II student, related “Learning German was not so different from learning English because it is derived from Germanic roots.” Most German students agreed that knowing the Germanic roots would help them with vocabulary words for college entrance exams like the SAT and the ACT. Kari Kuenemann, club president, remarked, “Although we haven’t done alot, what we have done has been memorable!

One of the more involved and certainly more interesting clubs on campus was the French Club. The classes were full again this year as most colleges and universities require a strong background in languages. Eclairs and pastries arc among the French Club specialities at the Red Raider Rally. We ate so many I'm suprised we made a profit! said Mrs. Coleman. The club profits go to many charitable organizations and projects on our campus. A Christmas party was held at the home of Mary Hurst. Most meetings were held at private homes along with Ken's Pizza and on campus. At these vital meetings the members decided important club issues such as who to nominate for homecoming. This year the club stayed traditional by only nominating a queen. Regina Frank was their choice. Special activities add to classroom fun in Mrs. Coleman's class. The students played boardgames to learn the French language and culture. One board game called Metro even taught the students how to use the subway in Paris!

Studying the dead language was not only a means of improving verbal SAT scores but also provided a way to be active in a school organization, the Latin Club. At the Red Raider Rally, the club sponsored the gum game for a fundraiser. For their campus service project, students planted shrubbery outside the Foreign Language rooms. Many Latin scholars also participated in Classical Day at UTT, a fun-filled event of skits, guest speakers, and the movie “Something Happened on the Way to the Forum.” The club planned a Roman Banquet in April, complete with togas, for its members' enjoyment. ...� ..

Another class offered was Mr Wyche’s World Political Geography class This seniors only, college currlculm focused on the philosophy of law and society based of works by Plato, Mach-lavelll. and numerous Harvard law cases. The entire department sponsored Presidential Classroom, an educational program In Washington D.C. In all. thirty Lee seniors attended. Exposure to leaders of government and their differing viewpoints through seminars and small peer group discussions Influenced the trip for those Involved.

Math was, by far, not a favorite class among students , said senior, Stephanie Norwood. In order to survive some of the classes, many students held study parties and tutoring sessions. Even though this is a difficult subject, through the patience and kindness of teachers and tutorial, the students were able to figure it out together. The math department gave students a wide variety of classes ranging from Fundamentals of Math and Consumer Math to Calculus. Honors and gifted programs were offered in most of the classes. For a real challenge, students were able to compete in several different math competitions throughout the year. The Tyler Junior College mathematics competition was the most popular one this year, and several students from Lee received awards in this contest. Students also took part in the number sense contest and the calculator quiz held at Texas A M University. £ A cluttered desk is a sign of greatness.

The science department offered a wide variety of courses for each student’s different interests. Physical science, an introductory course, prepared students for higher level courses. “I’m glad I took physical science my freshman year. I really think it will help me do better In biology and chemistry. said freshman Julie Chambless. In Biology I. students learned about the functions of living things and human anatomy. Most students seemed to enjoy biology's dissecting labs, where they actually saw what they learned from textbooks. Senior Allison Lowery said. ! love dissecting things. It is really interesting, but sometimes it's not too great right before lunch! Many advanced students chose to take Biology 11. an Advanced Placement course. It involved an In-depth study with special projects like a fetal pig dissection and a complete urinalysis. In Chemistry I. students focused on relationships and concepts between chemicals, equations. formulas, etc. They also performed lab experiments which corresponded with each unit of study. Other advanced science students took Physics I. a course which covers everything from Newton's Law to experiments with lasers. One Interesting project was the building of a model car which was powered by the spring of a mousetrap. Other alternative science courses offered were Geology 1. a study of the earth, and Marine Biology I. a study of the life in oceans. Above: Welcome to Kindergarten.

The club participated in several school and civic activities this year. At the Red Raider Rally they sponsored the raffle booth and awarded about 50 prizes. They have donated money to the Special Education department, and also to the Crisis Center. Several guest speakers talked to the club throughout the year. Among these were representatives fron Alcholics Anonymous, the Crisis Center, and the Tyler Police Station. They also had programs about AIDS, codependency. and child abuse.

Lee Journalism Department offered a variety of classes from reporting and news production to magazine journalism production and photojournalism. The news production staff was responsible for the Southern Accent, the school newspaper. This year the staff astounded Lee students with their fascinating and informative papers. From personal interviews to sports reviews to updated campus reports, the paper kept on top of all the latest happenings at Lee. Photojournalism, a recent department addition, captured the attention of many students this year. With its opportunities to explore photography and film development, it definitely motivated some new interest. The magazine journalism production class represented the yearbook staff. Responsible for the production of “The Legend”, the staff worked to improve layout design and overall theme of the book. Copywriting was one of the main focuses of this class.

The P.E. program offered classes from aerobics to ping pong and taught new and exciting athletic skills. Health, a required course, informed students on proper nutrition, personal hygiene, mental health, and the effects of substance abuse. This class helped many learn how to handle the pressures faced each day more appropriately. •John Faulkner, Sophomore Healt i P.E. 73 T X he REL business department provides many courses from which students can select. Students interested in business oriented careers can become involved and benefit from taking business classes. Some students taking business courses are employed and already able to apply the skills they are learning. Whether or not they are presently using their skills or planning to use them in the future, REL business students are pressing forward. The various courses offered include: typing, business management, accounting, exploring careers, business communications, and free enterprise. In addition to these courses a new course called Business English was offered this year. Our business students get a chance to show off their skills when competing in University Interscholastic League contests. When typing and accounting students enter the contests they compete with many business students within the district. One thing for sure about our business department; it is “risky business.” The opportunity to work in an law office and go to school this year has been very beneficial. This spring I also won the area contest for Legal Assistants and entered the state contest. — Terl Armstrong, Senior Right: Jason Flowers types as fast as he can.

The members of OEA take courses that will hopefully help them in the future to be able to work in an office oriented job. There are approximately forty members which make up OEA. OEA has a club meeting one morning each month in room D104. This provides a time for the members to discuss and plan their activities for different projects throughout the year. OEA participated in many activities this year. Close to Christmas they held a Christmas party for the children at Tyler Day Nursery. Earlier in the year they had a booth at the annual Red Raider Rally. Each year they also host the Valentine Dance in the K-gym. Not only does OEA get involved with activities around campus, but they also enter regional contests. At the Regional Conference students may enter a specialized competitive event or general competitive events which are open to everyone. ..

T X he industrial arts program was offered to enable students who complete high school to obtain immediate employment or to go on to technical school or college. Included in the program was drafting in which students learned basic drafting skills and also more advanced architecture. Achievements were great this year in regional and state. Amy Lester, Gary Flint, and John Quaas '‘drew” attention in architecture at rcgionals. Amy and John ad-vaned to state, where they continued to draw” in the ribbons. Woodworking and metal shop were also included in the industrial arts program. Power technology trained students in engine repair. They studied model rockets, jet engine propulsion, and two and four cycle engines. Industrial cooperative training prepared students for occupations such as auto mechanics, commercial artists, photographers, service men. or electricians. Also available in the industrial field was radio-TV. In this class, students learned to repair appliances such as microwaves, televisions. stereos, etc. This year they built a small robot that could speak in several different languages. Technology know-how was something one worked long and hard on. Students in these technical classes learned talents and skills that they would use in everyday life and also in a future career. f- fk cd.C.T. Row 1: Alton Dickerson.

Well, the East Texas School of Cosmetology gets credit for some of those beauties. This year students took cosmetology either from eight o’clock to eleven o’clock or from one o’clock to four o’clock in the afternoon. Students participated in styl ing contests and advertising contests Different individuals were in charge ot the display cases seen in the forum next to the little theater. Cosmetolgy courses involved various topics concerning selfmanagement and improvement. Some of the topics covered were: hair shaping, permanent waves, hair coloring, manicuring, facials, facial make-up, and salon management. After taking cosmetolgy as a junior and senior students are then prepared to go out in the working world, and get a job where they can apply their skills. 4 4 We all cosmetology! enjoy making it up in — Sandra Murphyjnstructor Cosmetology Evening Class — Row 1: Aimee Nelson.

Citizens and concerned parents came together in both organizations to support the Raiders. The Booster Club was directed by a sixteen member board. The members represented all different areas of school, including sports and academics. Their major money making project was income from the concession stands at Rose Stadium. All the hot dogs, cokes, and popcorn that students and supporters invested in went towards a worthy cause. Other money making projects included: dues, selling chair cushions, Red Raider hats, and ray-visors for cars. The Booster Club supported school organizations and faculty with over $16,000 donations. They also gave a scholarship to a senior at Awards Assembly. The PTA is also organized through a Board of Directors, who were in charge of different areas. Their biggest project, the Back to School Bash, started the year’s activities. They had a reception for new T1SD students and parents, a hot dog supper to support the Micah Zapata fund, and organized the fun-filled Red Raider Rally. Two new projects this year were the career counseling center and a newsletter, supported by both of these groups. Other major projects included: Santa Claus Project, gathering clothes for the clothes closet, parent survey, breakfast for the teachers, reception for college representatives, and helped with freshman playday. With the support of these two active groups, students, parents, and faculty received the extra encouragement to work togehter for common goals. PTA Board Top: Row 1: Donna Culver, Elaine Knight.

They welcomed new students individually and at special SWAT Team meetings. Pizza parties, cookie and coke parties, and lunches were all among the activities planned for new students. They also sent Christmas cookies to all new students. The SWAT Team also did other community activities during the year. The junior group made Christmas stockings for mothers and children at the Crisis Center. Members also conducted tours for new students at the pre-school orientation. The sophomore SWAT Team had a Valentine’s party for students that transferred to Lee for the second semester. Below: Birds of a feather flock together for Leslie Kuria.

T X he National Honor Society consisted of approximately 55 students in Lee who maintained at least a 93 average through their high school years. These students were required to gain a minimum of thirty service hours. Ten of these hours were school related hours which included tutoring and helping with activities on campus. To obtain these hours students became involved in helping at Southview Nursing Home and with the Meals on Wheels” program during the summer. Two outstanding society members were Todd McClusky and Paul Kirkpatrick who attended the Cheley Leadership Camp in Estes Park, Colorado for one week. This year the club sold “Red Raider Spirit Towels” and worked concession stands for their fund raisers. They also fixed Easter baskets for the teachers the week before Spring Break. The officers for the year were Paul Kirkpatrick as President, Rachelle Sheffield as Vice-President, Rodney Symes as Secretary, and Jeromy Hoi-lenshead as Treasurer. They worked with sponsors Mrs. Tuomi and Mrs. Ham to plan the club activities and the meetings on Monday nights. Cs-' :: National rfbNO soc TY Row 1: JenniWTChambless. Tammy Hutchins. Dune Bandy.

Among the various service projects the club participated in were the adopt-a grandparent program. Students gave the elderly people of Southview Nursing Home small gifts and played Bingo games with them. The Key Club also held their annual canned food drive this year to collect food for the needy at Christmas. They also helped with the Jerry Lewis Telethon for Muscular Dis-trophy. The Kiwanis Turkey Shoot was also another big club event this year. Fundraising projects were important, too, in club activities. At the Red Raider Rally, the Key Club sold sno-balls. This proved to be a very successful money-maker, as did the soc-hop sponsored by the club. The ’87-’88 Key Club was composed of approximately 40 members and their sponsor, Pam Hale. Membership of the club is based on a point system in which 10 points are earned individually for each meeting or project a member attends. Each member must accumulate 30 points each month to remain in the club. To be elected to an office in the club, a member must have accumulated at least 400 points during the previous year.

Z Club, as it is called, was a national service club for girls and women. The 50 members met every two weeks on Thursday afternoons. Their sponsor this year was Ms. Beach. A new member, Cheryl Bulman, said of the club, “It’s a lot of work, but it is all worth it after you see the people you have helped. In addition to service work done through the Volunteer Center, the Z Club sold “Good Luck” carnations on St. Patrick’s Day. Other activities included TJC games and a dart throwing booth at Red Raider Rally. The girls also helped with UIL competition and the repair of the McClendon House for the Azalea Trail. Several girls gave a Halloween party for children at the Crisis Center. Others worked at various nursing homes in the Tyler community. Through this club, girls learned the value of community service.

The team dominated both the Super Quiz and Regionals and got excellent ratings at state. The Super Quiz consisted of nine categories, with three teams containing members with A, B, and C averages. The Quiz topic was aviation. Their ratings at Regionals enabled them to go to state competition. Lee not only won a silver medal for team competition at state, but also placed 9th out of 255 teams. Two individuals also placed high; Morgan Smyrl placed first in speech and John Redue placed second in science. Besides studying for and attending competitions and contests, the De-cathletes did various leisure activities. One such activity was visiting the air show earlier in the school year. All in all, the 1987-88 Academic Decathlon had a memorable experience! £ £ It was a great experience to learn not only about the subjects on the tests but also how to work with people and have a good time.

Upon closer inspection, however, nothing could be further from the truth. Of course, there are the jocks, the Belles, the Future Farmers of America. But, fortunately the characteristics of the people do not stop at the organizations to which they belong. There are countless class clowns, skaters, “brains”, actors, twins, those from foreign lands and those of foreign minds. Each of us, however, prove to be a different face in the countless Waves Of People . 'ZOcutea Most probably remember these three as being the ones who made those long and boring Monday morning announcements. More work went on behind the scenes, for them, though, than most people realized. After being elected as executive officers by the REL students, all three found out the importance of being in direct contact with the student body and the REL administration. The three were required to divide up responsibilities and work closely with sponosor Alan Shumate and with Mr. Hall and Mrs. Harris to present ideas and accomplish special projects and activities. Being in charge of the Student Senate, the executive officers were responsible for many school activities. The scheduling, programming, and decorating of Homecoming rested on them. They also set up dates and planned Lee s two blood drives. They readied all material for class officer elections and conducted the election assemblies. They also initiated the preparations for the Christmas Room Decorating Contest, the new mini blinds for the front of the campus, and the Staff Appreciation Week. And the list goes on. Executive president Rodney Symes felt. “It has been an honor to represent the student body of REL. I hope that I have fulfilled my position worthily. Vice-president Joey Redding agreed with Rodney. saying, 1 enjoyed working with the students. I just wish it didn't have to end so soon. he added. Secretary Rachelle Sheffield remarked. I ran for the office not for the title, but for the opportunities it provided me to organize activities and to bring people together to accomplish them. I wouldn't trade this past year of experience and of working with the coolest of sponsors. Shumate, for the world! All the officers agreed it had been a pleasure to serve the students of REL. They knew they would look back on their year in office with many fond memories of the good times they enjoyed. Joey Redding Sheffield g“7 C ?t s4Ct c L 1987-88 was a very significant, meaningful, and successful year for the Senate. I spite of red tape, and a lack of interest from some members, the Senate as a whole di more, with greater enthusiasm and success, that any group in recent memory.

With new principal Zeb Cantley replacing Gerald Barnes, a period of adjustment was inevitable. Mr. Cantley felt all went well, though. “Mr. Barnes must have done a terrific job. because everything continued to flow right along when I took over. Overall, the seniors were a terrific group who worked together and got a lot accomplished without any real snags. he observed. Class sponsors Jane Jones and Jane McDaniel were sad to see the class of '88 leave. Mrs. Jones commented. I learned to love and appreciate them. I'll miss all my seniors. Mrs. McDaniel added that Being class sponsor for the last four years has definitely been both challenging and rewarding. Hopefully Mrs. Jones and 1 were able to give the class many memorable experiences. Class president Karl Loftis compared his role in office to an old Jimi Hendrix tune. If six were nine. I could have been king. he remarked. Vice-president Chris Renner decided that with his easier schedule of classes, he had “more time to devote to Senate activities. Secretary Kristi Jones felt that most of the class's work centered on having a memorable prom. With the help of class senators Amle Braswell. Carrie Caton. Matt Conrad. Bret Creel. Brian Fleming. Jamie McDaniel. Cathy Owens, and Ter-rye Wagner, she felt they were successful. As the seniors of '88 counted down the final days of school, one realized that the impact made by this group of tidal waves would not soon be forgotten.

She continues to captivate her audience this year with her graceful style and sparkling smile. Because of her excellent performance, one could never guess that few years of her life have been dedicated to dance lessons. Lori has taken only two years of jazz, and one year of ballet. Being an officer on the drill team was never one of Lori’s dream or goals. She tried i out for officer with the attitude. ' If I make it. great, but if not, I | will do something else. When asked how she feels about the drill team. Lori replied. Last year, I loved being on the drill team, but this year I actually love the drill team. It’s all I think about.” Lori enjoys being captain. It Is worth all the time, work, and money that 1 have put into it. It's fun!” Lori’s future plans Involve attending a university and majoring in dance. Someday she hopes to organize a traveling performing company which acts, sings, and dances. Because of her dedication to her position this year, Lori definitely shows she has what it takes to fulfill all her goals and dreams.

For 25 Lee seniors, however, those distant names of Washington D.C. became much clearer as they participated in Presidential Classroom. The program is designed to expose the finest students in America to the leaders in government. For one week, students from across the nation had the opportunity to observe at close range the government in action. All students met news media, the diplomatic corps, and public interest groups. Although meeting such high power officials was exciting, getting to know over 500 juniors and seniors from all over America and around the world proved equally rewarding. All the students stayed at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, attended the theater, and enjoyed a banquet and dance in their honor. Meeting people from all over was wonderful. I had the opportunity to hear the different views on current issues and religion. I roomed with a girl from Puerto Rico, and that was an experience in itself.” stated Diane Bandy.

After the drive. Joey Redding, Student Senate Vice-President, announced that the Lee pool currently has over 100 pints of blood. Whenever a student or one of his family members needs blood, they can request it from the Lee pool. The nurses helping with the drive only hoped for a maximum of 50 pints to be donated. They also expressed surprise at the number of people who desired to give blood, but were unable to for certain reasons. Many were turned down simply because of low weight, recent illness, or a too low or too high blood pressure reading. reported one nurse. Attempting to get students involved was not an easy task, especially because of all the recent fears concerning the AIDS virus and its transmission through dirty needles. Nurses assured students, however, that all equipment used is kept sterile and never re-used. Once these apprehensions were overcome, students seemed then only to fear the initial act of giving blood. As Caroline Gable (pictured) discovered. “Giving the blood wasn't all that bad. 1 was really embarrassed when I fainted, though. They couldn't even finish taking my blood! Most students, however, had no problems and were glad they decided to give. 110 Seniors o Brian Roark Pete Roark Jenny Roberts Paige Roberts Sara Roberts D’anna Robertson Douglas Robinson Robie Robinson Sean Roddy Elizabeth Roesel Allison Rogers Chris Rook Natalie Roosth Shannon Ross David Roule Ashley Rowe Nikki Rowe Michael Rudolph Andrea Scarborough Angie Schnackenberg Fred Schumer Kip Schwoyer Kimberly Scott Michelle Searle Lori Sellers Kelli Sessions Eric Shaddix Paula Shamburger Tiffany Shaw Rachelle Sheffield Seniors 111 John Sheppard Derek Shilling Vicki Simon Debra Simons Robert Skorkowsky Charles Smith Kyle Smith Rory Smith Morgan Smyrl Becky Snider Sheryl Sorrels Carolyn Sorsby Heidi Sparks Wendy Spratlin Stephen Stallcup Shea Stamps Sherry Stanley Tony Steed Jennifer Steele Ric Steele Deborah Stegall Sheri Stern Kim Stiefel Allen Stiles John Stiles Jason Still Michelle Stine April Stone Renee Stone Happy Stout 112 Seniors o ■ Politic _ rep The week of June 6-12.1987, found Senior Paul Kirkpatrick in Austin. Texas, on the UT campus, at the annual program of Boys State. Teachers chose Paul to be Lee's representative at this annual event during the spring ; of his junior year. When he agreed to | attend, however, he knew little of what would be in store for him. Over 950 guys from across the state gathered on the campus for this leadership and government oriented week. Quickly they worked to set up a mock state government, electing and appointing officials to the local, county, district, and state offices. They even I chose a governor and lieutenant gov-j ernor to rule over their Boys State. The program's design focused on every aspect of government from law to leadership to citizen responsibility. The boys heard speeches from public figures dealing with such Issues. Governor Bill Clements and Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby even visited on the final day. giving keynote addresses to the participants. Paul felt his experience definitely made him more aware of the importance of each individual’s role In government. Because of the week, I came to recognize my responsibilities to participate In state government.” he replied. I realized how elections, caucuses and speeches are actually run. The program was very authentic in that sense. All In all, Paul had a great time. He decided it was fun to be in an atmosphere of things you'd never really been exposed to.

I'm glad they're mine. They were a good group to break in with when I came to Lee. I knew three-quarters of the kids in my grade level, and they sure made it nice and easy for me.” The Junior class kept busy this year working on their two fund raisers, a cotton candy booth at Red Raider Rally and the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Through combined efforts of officers, senators, and sponsors, the class raised over $4000. Mrs. Crone, class sponsor. decided, I was very well pleased that our efforts at fundraising paid off.

Robert Wilson, a junior at REL, has been a vital part of the youth organization at Marvin Methodist Church for five years. He has been rewarded for his excellent job on the youth council by being elected for a two year term to the National Youth Ministries Organization (NYMO). This group of twenty-four youth met once this year to discuss numerous issues and national projects which are to be on their agenda next year. Robert felt quite honored to be selected to serve as a part of this group. As the Vice-Chairperson of the NYMO Steering Committee, he decided how to distibute the Youth Service Funds to national projects. As president of the local MYF group, Robert tried to involve everyone and make MYF a fun experience. MYF. the youth group at Marvin, met each Sunday afternoon and consisted of many students from Lee. The meetings were planned so that everyone had a good time and also learned. As Robert said. We try to start off with some fun and crazy games, but we end in a serious discussion which everyone can learn from.” The topics covered range from lessons on Methodist beliefs to the keys of coping in the world today as a teenager. MYF also sponsered many retreats this year as well as taking their van out of town to support the Raiders at football games. Robert kept busy organizing local activities while also serving on the national board. He learned to go the extra mile to get involved in an area important to him. 118 Juniors John Bradley Theresa Bridges Danny Brigmon Mike Brock Jason Bromberg Michelle Bronaugh Juanita Broughton Belfrey Brown Jennifer Brown Jennifer Brown Randy Brown Sharon Brown Terra Brown Tina Brown Shannon Buckner Cheryl Bulman Christina Bulman Chad Burden Greg Burnett John Burns Lee Burns Samantha Burton Larry Butcher Leon Butler Karen Byington Gina Byrd Kevin Byrd Clint Byrum Kevin Cagle Tonya Cain Clay Caldwell Sally Calfee Stacey Callaway Bill Campbell Jesie Campbell Jaime Camo Dominguez Bob Carmichael Colin Carnes Stacey Carroll Cory Cates Kevin Cawthon David Cazalas Juniors 119 John Chance Karen Chandler Trey Chastain Christie Chesley Scott Chesley Veronica Childs Celestia Choy Jill Chrietzberg Betsy Clark Catherine Clayton Vance Clements Keri Clifton Charles Clower Kathleen Clyde Tangela Coats Christy Cochran John Cohagen Shay Coker Ken Colbey Doug Cole Lauren Collins Michael Conley Kelley Conner Nikki Conrad Jill Coody Tony Cooks Jenny Cordell Collan Cotton David Cotton Diane Counts Amanda Cowan Kevin Craig Cheryl Craigen John Crawford Beth Crelia Laurel Creme Courtney Crosby Eric Croson Erin Danbom Vincent Daniel M.

The Jacksonville Tops in Texas Rodeo named Kathleen their queen after she competed against 10 other entrees in , horsemanship, modeling '(Western attire), and speaking categories. Last year the East Texas Horse Show Association named Kathleen the High Point girl in her age group and the All-Around High Point in the State Challenge Show last spring. Success came only with plenty of practice and determination. Kathleen rides every day for two hours at the Eual Duramus Riding Stable, preparing for the twelve horse shows she competes in annually. She has ridden for eight years and has shown her horses, Claude and Leo, for three years. Straight away barrels, flag race, Western pleasure, and reigning are only a few of the divisions Kathleen competes in. She is an active member of the Tyler Saddle Club, Jacksonville Circle W. Riding Club, the East Texas High School Rodeo Association, the East Texas Horse Show Association, and the FCA Cowboy Chapter. Concerning her future plans, Kathleen said, 1 am planning to take my horse to college with me so I can continue riding with a rodeo team.” Tiffany Daughtry Todd Davault Joni Davenport Camelia Davis Kevin Davis Mary Davis Steve Davlin Matt Dawson Roxanne De Leon Kellie Deal Scarlett Delafield Gregory Dennis James Denson Shannon Dickson Amy Dike Crystal Dildy Melinda Dingier Richard Dodd Terry Donaldson Traci Dudley Claire Duncan Paul Dupuy Tara Dupuy Beth Durbin Dodd Dyess Tammy Early Jason Easterling Jason Eichler Renee Elder Brittini Ellington Juniors 121 Amy Evans Glenn Farnam Frederic Fassotti John Fatheree Paul Fazande Kendra Fazzio Dana Fears Matt Fellwock Michael Fielder Cindy Fitzgerald Michelle Flanagan Shanna Flemons Lisa Flens Danny Floyd Michelle Floyd Sandra Ford Jason Fowler Thomas Fox Leesa Frame Ronald Francis Michael Franks Mary Jo Freeden Susan Frederick Steven Free Kenneth Fritcher Angela Gableman Missy Galyean Matt Gandy Jennifer Gardner Kalyn Garner What a Trip A a student ambassador for People to People.

Laura flew to Washington D.C. on June 23. A special orientation and a speech from President Reagan awaited the group upon their arrival. East Berlin, Germany was their first stop during the five week trip. After touring and talking with a German student and teacher, the group crossed the Berlin Wall at Check Point Charlie. Spraypainting my name on the Berlin Wall was one of the highlights of my trip, Laura said. During her visit in Germany, she attended the local school for two days. Then she visited Luxembourg before traveling on to France. In Paris, the group spent their time tour- ing and shopping. Then it was on to Brussels. Belgium, for some real entertainment. The disco was really awesome in Brussels. Laura commented. It had (lashing lights, laser shows, video screens, and a moving dance floor.” Once In Holland, Laura spent five days touring Deventer, Roterdam, and Amsterdam, where they boarded a ferTy to Eng land. Tours of Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, shopping, and a musical quickly filled the three days spent in London. Finally. Laura arrived in Dublin. Ireland. The scenery there is among the most beautiful I've ever seen. Laura said of Ireland, after enjoying a scenic tour of Killarncy and the Irish Coast.

Melinda Dingier, a junior, was one of the many who enjoy biking as a serious sport. She began her training as a young child by riding with her father, an avid biker for several years. Melinda now rides 20 to 30 miles on week days and 40 to 50 miles on weekends. Biking is a good way to meet people,” commented Melinda, who spends time riding with old and new friends she has met through bike riding. During the summer of 1985, Melinda rode in Districts in San Antonio and took first place. She went on to Nationals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and placed 15th. She rode in the Beauty and the Beast tour held in Tyler on April 9. 1988. She also looked forward to riding in a tour in Dallas. Melinda viewed biking as “a tough and aggressive sport with a lot of strategy involved. Biking events go on despite the weather.” For example, pouring down rain and wind storms have not stopped Melinda from riding in races. Melinda admitted the recent rise in biking's popularity. People are more aware of biking than when I first started. People are actually starting to catch on.” Kristi Perdue Brad Perez Kim Perry Tricia Perry Brian Persinger Donna Pesnell Latashwa Pettigrew Evelyn Phea Christina Phillips Kim Phillips Adam Phipps Laura Pickle Karlos Pipkins Trae Port wood Brett Poteet Craig Powell Rob Powell Lanita Price Sean Price Michael Prince Billy Pyron Maricela Quintero Eric Ralls Amy Ramage Kelly Ramsey Ben Randolph Eric Rankins Scott Ray Jeff Reazin Cari Reed O Juniors 129 Richey Reedy Steven Reeves Timothy Reeves Becky Reid Susan Reid Susan Reily Rae Lynn Reinhardt Ricky Reynolds Ryan Reynolds Renee Rhome Melissa Rice Ragon Richey Sonya Rivers Lee Roach Marquis Roberts Reginald Roberts Tammie Roberts Trissie Roberts John Robinson Teresa Rubio Dana Rucker Tony Rutledge Robin Sanders Shea Sanders Robert Saunders Jimmy Ray Sawyer Corey Schlensker Amy Schoenbrun Anthony Scott Brent Scottgrest Hot Shot Hustle! Hustle!” were the words David Martin heard daily as he dribbled the round leather boll down the court. One easily associated the game of basketball with David. Each time he shot, the Raiders awaited the scoring of two points. Learning all the tricks of the game took many hours of practice, however. David knew it involved more than a casual game with the guys on Saturday afternoon, so he went outside every afternoon to shoot baskets at the goal in front of his house. In addition to basketball. David maintained excellent grades. He took several honors courses, finding that homework plus practice often added up to late night studying. As a result of his hard work. David made the Varsity squad as a sophomore and was team captain his junior year. At the end of the season, the Raiders played the usual game against John Tyler. J.T. was ahead by two points with only ten seconds left in the game when Lee inbounded the ball to David. With time running out. David launched a Hail Mary” shot from midcourt, and with no time left, the shot was good! Lee 54 — J.T. 53. For the second time this season. David's practicing of his long shot more than paid off. David's response was simply. No matter what has happened In the past, if you keep your head up. good things are bound to happen! 130 Juniors Janifer Segrest Julie Selvidge Cody Sewell Jennifer Sexton Demetras Shackelford Valerie Shackelford Laura Shaffer Nathan Shaw Melanie Shirley Kysia Showen Bethany Shows Shay Shults Chad Sikes Alison Simpson Tommy Slater Elretta Slaughter Amy Small Brady Smith Collette Smith Dawn Smith Jason Smith Melinda Smith Rod Smith Shawn Smith Shurrell Smith Stacy Smith Todd Smith Tracy Smith Erin Smuts Barbara Solomon Michael Sorrells Gail Sorrels Matt Spradley Marquis Spratling Tyesha Spratling Kasey Stadifer John Staton David Steen Don Stewart Kay Stifle Vivien Stovall Kerri Strickland Juniors 131 Clint Taylor Kimberly Taylor Sheryl Taylor James Teal Jason Terry Amy Thedford Donnie Thedford Nevella Thomas Becky Thompson Eric Thompson Jennifer Thompson Jennifer Thompson Tama Thompson Verline Thompson Mark Tietz Stan Tindel Melissa Tomlin Michele Towery Joi Travers Jeff Tray wick Trenda Trevino Cheryl Turner Randy Turner Amy Tyner Angela Utz Melissa Vance Missy Vervalin Joni Vick Craig Vinson Jonathan Vinson Paul Waggoner Cullen Wall Kristi Wallace Toinette Wallace Jamie Walton Bo Ward Sheretta Ward Petula Washington Roderick Washington Elizabeth Waters Kerry Watkins Dee Ann Watson 132 Juniors Tennis Anyone? Shay Coker, one of R.E.L.'s state tennis champs, came a long way in the past two years. Shay first started to play at the age of five, but only decided to pursue the game at age thirteen. “I had to choose between basketball and tennis, and I felt I’d never make it in basketball.” he commented. Now I’m glad 1 made the choice of tennis.” Shay played Number 3 Singles this year at state and Number 2 Doubles with partner Keith Hicks. Two years ago in the Sixteens division he ranked 103rd In state and last year moved up to 39th. He still hoped, however, “to rank in the top 30 this year in the Eighteens division. Shay practiced daily both on his own and 1 to 2 hours with the team. Tennis Is probably one of the most mentally demanding sports, Shay said of the game. “You’re not with a team. It’s just you against your opponent.

Bluebirds — Old friends. Great memories! Almost everyone remembered being in Bluebirds, Girl Scouts, or Cub Scouts as a child. The memories of proudly wearing the uniform to elementary school once a week on meeting days. All those fun and exciting field trips to the places where you were constantly told either to “keep quiet” or “hands off.” Selling candy door-to-door for fundraisers. Marching in the annual Tyler Christmas parade. What kind of fun was that? Well, it seemed enough fun to create some lasting memories and spe- cial friendships during the elementary school years. Juniors Audrey Marsh, Claire Duncan, Alison Simpson, Amy Graham, Amy Schoenbrun, Laura Garrett, Laura Nichols, and M.E. Danielson (pictured left to right) were all in the same Bluebirds group in first and second grade. “I remember going to the father-daughter banquet and winning second place,” smiled Amy Schoenbrun. “It’s funny to look back at our Bluebird group and see how much we have all changed,” commented Claire Duncan. Audrey Marsh perhaps summed up the entire group’s feelings, however, when she said, Bluebirds just added to many of my great memories. The people I grew up with will always have a special place in my heart.” Thus Bluebirds provided all involved with cherished memories to carry throughout their middle and high school years. 134 Juniors V.P.% ALYSON DALTON PAT BYERLY JEANNIE JOHNSON StveMb n.

She commented that she worked with a very ‘Energetic’ group of officers who will provide excellent leadership in whatever endeavors they pursue in the years to come. Vice-president Alyson Dalton enjoyed serving her class. “It gave me a chance to get to know-kids in my grade and to work for what they wanted to get done,” she replied. The main fundraiser for the class was the spring Puttin’ on the Hits” show. I came up with the idea for it. remarked president Pat Byerly. Pat put his senators, Matt Culver, Jennifer Franks, Cheslc Huff. Wendy Jones. Ashley Powell, Heidi Stanley, Ryan Thrash, and Steve Williams to work, and the project was successful. It was a success except for the sound system,” agreed Pat. We made close to $500.” Secretary Jeannie Johnson felt that her year as secretary was fun because she got to work with people. Since she was re-elected, she said, “1 am looking forward to working on Sadie Hawkins next year.” At the close of the year, the swells of sophomores looked forward to becoming upperclassmen and to stirring up some bigger waves.

I've done research for my speech. I am riding everyday, and I'm having outfits made to ride in, Molly said of her preparations. When asked why she loved horses and competing. Molly replied. My dad loves horses, and he has really encouraged me. She also said she was surprised to win queen for the region. 1 didn't really know what I was doing. I was up against a girl whose sister had been Miss Rodeo America. 1 wasn’t expecting it at all. so it was really neat to win. Obviously, Molly's talent and charming personality captured her region title and should also contribute to her success at state. 136 Sophomores Michael Brosang Gregory Broumley Dephoine Brown Dina Brown Helaine Brown Jaime Brown Mia Brown Shaun Brown Vernell Brown Glenn Browne Durwin Browning Keidra Browning Julie Brumley Le’Ann Bryant Erica Buchanan Aaron Burgess Alicia Burkett Tammy Burklin Daisy Burks Ricky Burleson Pat Byerly Katie Byrd Marin Byrd Miles Byrd Shane Caldwell Tyrone Caldwell Lataucha Calhoun Donald Campbell Jennifer Campbell La Sandra Campbell Leigh Campbell Paul Campbell Justin Cannon Anna Carl Justin Carter Lyn Cartwright Sterling Cassel Synneve Chambers Arthur Chancellor Chad Campbell Terrance Chase Keely Chitwood O Sophomores 137 Allison Claiborne James Clark Richard Clay Stephanie Clayton Katherine Clem Jamie Clement Ylonda Cobb Ronald Coe Joel Coffer Brett Cole Farah Coleman Jennifer Colley Cliff Collins Wendy Collins Brian Cook Danny Cook Shannon Cook David Cooper Joseph Corbett Adrian Cormier Kelley Covington Chris Craddock Dana Craig Scott Craig Aquilla Crater Tiffany Creath Laura Crim Maria Cromey Jeff Croson Jonna Cross Matthew Culver Stacy Cunningham Misty Daigle Matt Dailey Mindy Dailey Alyson Dalton Steven Daniels David Davault Brian Davis Eric Davis Kimothy Davis Isabel De Rosas 138 Sophomores The Southern Slip-up “Hey, look! Somebody just tossed me a newspaper. It must be the commendable ‘Southern Accent.’ No ... wait! This cannot be ... vulgarity, crude pictures, criticism of the school... how did this get printed, what is it, and who is responsible?” These were only a few of the questions circulating around the campus this year with the underground production of a newspaper entitled ‘The Southern Accident.’ Originally a joke, it soon became a serious ordeal for the few students who printed it. 'The Southern Accident,’ a parody of the ‘Southern Accent,’ published criticism of the school, making fun of teachers, Mr. Hall, and the football team. It also contained crude pictures, obscene language, and sarcastic jibes. Because of its content, the students responsible for it recieved ten days of SAC when they were identified. ‘The Southern Accident’ captured much publicity, including the attention of the Tyler media. Those responsible, however, desired to keep a low profile. One student contacted about his views replied, “I’ve gotten a lot of hassle about it from the media. I’ve been contacted for an interview, which I turned down. My parents and I are just waiting for the whole thing to die down.” Luckily for those involved in its production, the waves the paper made soon subsided.

Whether purchased In a single roll or received In a Christmas storybook package, everyone enjoys these delightful treats. Of course, this description refers to the small yet favorite candy, the Lifesaver. Almost everyone loves to crunch on a Lifesaver. Few, though, bother to take the experience deeper. Lifcsavcrs provide excellent tools for fun and games, as Ryan Thrash and Chcslc Huff discovered at the Student Senate Retreat on October 13. 1987. It's really pretty simple,” mused Ryan.

All of this could mean only one thing — ‘Young Life.’ In 1951 a Young Life club began in Tyler; in 1985 the present leader. Joe Warren, became the club leader. Young Life is more than just an organization. It’s friendship, fellowship, and a chance to learn about Christ and what a Christian is. said Joe. For the three years he has been in Tyler, Joe increased the members at meetings from one at the first club to a staggering 175. It provides EVERYONE unconditionally with an exciting and rewarding place to be with friends at a time when peer pressure and the need to belong seem so important.” To sophomore Alyson Dalton, a two-year Young Life attender. club on Monday night is a necessity. I couldn't go through the week without it. It picks me up and lets me know someone cares. And it allows people to form lasting friendships with groups of friends you can always trust. Philip Walker and Lee Uncaphcr attended one of Young Life’s summer camps, Windy Gap. “Camp was just awesome! the two sophomores agreed. There arc hilarious skits, great songs, and Joe’s talks. Those are encouraging and help us cope with everyday problems. Camp was one of the best experiences of our lives!” Young Life’s impact affected many kids here at Lee. Lip-syncing contests, side splitting skits, and songs sung by the Beatles and U2 entertained over 100 kids each Monday night. As Alyson enthusiastically added, It allows people to see the effect of Christ In a relaxed atmosphere, and If they don't want to listen to the message, they can enjoy a great time with friends and fun.

During this class, one begins to understand why commercials say ’Buckle up!.’ “Our adventure began every day at third period, when we all piled in the car to hit the road,” said sophomore Chris White. Chris was so nervous while driving that he swerved the car back and forth from lane to lane. After 15 minutes of nerve-wrecking travel with Chris at the wheel, the others in the car were relieved when the driver was finally switched. While I was driving, Chris commented. “Andrew Reed asked if he could call a cab and meet us back at school. Coach Reid had this look on his face like, 'Go ahead. I’ll go with you.’ ” After their adventure, the students proceeded to head back to Lee. The nightmare with Chris driving was over ... for the time being. 144 Sophomores Brian Marquis Ben Marshall James Marshall Robert Marta Jamie Martel Jimmy Martin Roy Martin Jodi Matthew Kathi Matush Ronnie May Russell May Scott Mays Michele McAdams Colleen McBride Elizabeth McBurney Jennifer McCallum Chad McCaslin Kathy McCauley Trent McClain Scott McClenney Beth McClintic David McClure Derek McCluskey Kim McCoy Terrance McDonald Tommy McFarland Lisa McGhee Michelle McGuire Shelley McGwier Cevin McKaskle Misty McKaughan David McMullen Sara McNally Jennifer Meffert Dale Meier Angela Meredith Jennifer Merriman Jim Middleton Amanda Miller Jerry Miller Kenneth Miller Tisha Miller Sophomores 145 Jennifer Ming Marlen Mynnick Maria Modaferi Elizabeth Monroe Amy Mooring Abigail Morgan Eric Morgan Billy Morris Gabe Morris Breck Morrison Christopher Moss Scott Moss Abie Musa Tay Musslewhite Jim Musslewhite Matt Myers Ange Nelson Sabrina Nelson Scott Nelson Errin Newberry Tekla Nowiski Kenneth Oldham Demond Oliver Re Shonda Oliver Verlon Oliver Daniel Olson Christie Orbison Jason Orr Anton Osborn Darla Overstreet Paul Owen Christy Oyer Angela Pack Erin Paddock Robby Parker Christa Penn Cami Perkins Jason Phelps Russ Phillips Jason Pierce Lori Pinkerton Willietta Pinkerton 146 Sophomores A Waiting Game I Lines. R.E.L. students spend much of their time waiting in them. There are gome ticket lines, conccsssion stand lines, and the Infamous parking sticker I line, to name a few. The lines which seem to affect Lee students most directly are the cafeteria lines. In an effort to eliminate the confusion in the cafeteria, tickets for meals are issued at lunch. Students must pay In advance and then stand In line to obtain their food. This year, students have a variety of Items to choose to eat, therefore, a variety of lines In which to stand. Hamburger lines, French fry lines, baked potato lines, chicken basket lines, salad lines, and Ice cream lines, are some of the more popular. Line sizes vary here, yet It can often take students half their lunch periods to obtain their meal Sophomore Steve Williams (right) summed up students' feelings toward food lines when he said, “I stand In line everyday, since the food’s worth waiting for. I'M LYING!! Like Steve, most have no choice but to stand In line so they can eat. One of the more frustrating lines is the coke line. How many times has one found oneself behind a persistant student who is frantically trying to stuff a wadded up dollar bill into the slot only to have It rejected by the machine? Then one always runs the risk of losing money and foregoing a refreshing cold drink after a hard half day of classes. No doubt about It. cafeteria lines have become a way of life for Lee students. Waiting times in lines vary as to what Is being purchased Longer lunch periods have helped to make the length of lines more bearable by giving students the time spent in line to gossip with friends not seen at other times during the day.

September 9, a tragedy that will remain in our heart and minds forever struck REL. During afternoon J.V. football practice, a bolt of lighting critically injured sophomore Mi-cah Zapata. He was unconscious. showing no sign of a pulse or blood pressure, when trainer Mark Gilbert and coaches Mike Phillips and Chuck Bice began CPR When he arrived at the hospital. Micah had a good pulse and satisfactory blood pressure but remained in critical condition. Dr. Bob Fender noted that the coaches' quick action saved Zapata's life. Three weeks after the accident, the doctors, who initially feared for his life, were optimistic. The 15-year old lost about 20 pounds, but despite his frail appearance, he remained in good spirits, even cracking occasional Jokes. F received speech, occupational, and physic therapy, but many questions remained about h loss of memory. With all the prayers and fait however, all were confident of a full recover I’m doing better.

After belr released from the hospital, he receive homebound Instruction that continued until tf end of the first semester. He returned to varioi classes, however, for an hour at a time. The journey to a full recovery is still long f Micah, but all of the love and concern shown t those around him make each day a little easio I have received lots of support from my famll; I really don't see many of my friends anymor maybe one or two. Things just happen and yc have to accept them.

Talk about terrific! Nationally ranked Leigh Campbell definitely made waves” in women’s rac-quetball. Last year she competed in the Juniors age bracket and ranked 13th in the nation. This year she moved up, ranking 6th in the nation in the A-Open, which is next to the professional bracket. Although Leigh has played for only four years, she developed great skill in the sport during this short amount of time. This past summer she played in Los Angeles, California, and took lessons from Lynn Adams, the top-ranked professional women’s racquetball player from the University of California in Sacramento. Leigh hoped to receive some rac- quetball scholarships in the next few years. Ekelton, a leading racquetball company, recently sponsored Leigh in her playing. Of her favorite sport, Leigh said, I love racqetball because it combines skill with endurance. It’s really competitive, but lots of fun!” La Shaunda Walker Philip Walker Sean Walker William Wall Richard Wallace Darrik Ward Ronnie Warren Kristi Warrington Lee Webb Aimee Wells Mark Wentroble Brian Wesson Byron Westbrook Alan Wharton Paul Wheeler Wade Whitaker Branden White Chris White Kelli White Cheryl Whitemon Steve Whitt Patrick Wilkins Derolyn Williams Sh’Angela Williams Steve Williams Ashlea Willingham Breanna Wilson Cory Wilson Jimmy Wilson Kyle Wilson O Sophomores 151 Stephanie Wilson Jenny Winningham Danny Wiseman Craig Womack Kristy Wood Sabrina Woods Christian Wright Dana Wright Mark Wylie Tyrone Wynn Billy Yates William York Amy Youngblood T-BALL BEMEMBEB WHEN? Was the Talk! Remember when the highlight of the summer was afternoon T-ball? Well, for these sophomore studs,” it was more than just a game! Summer league T-ball aroused the competitive spirit in all of the kids. This spirit, which sparked at an early age, was still alive in the hearts of these current REL students. The little-leaguers were not there only to have fun, but also to win. David Danielson admitted that he often experienced trouble when up to bat. You’d think it would be easy, but I was surprisingly good at striking out!” he shrugged. Fellow teammate Michael Renner claimed to be the heavy hitter of the crew. I always hit the homeruns!” he boasted. Renner also said, however, that since the baseball was hit off of a rubber T-stand, he often wondered about the real purpose of his pitching position. Matt Culver, another “outstanding” athlete on the team, added, “The coach had alot of confidence in me. That’s why 1 played left field. But back then, no one could hit the ball that far!” T-ball provided fun and excitement for everyone. The team all agreed that T-ball was a way of life. If one failed to play T-ball, one just was not IN! Thus, this sport paved the way for many of the players who compete in other sports now that they are in high school.

Freshmen As newcomers to Lee this year, the Freshmen class definitely stirred up some ripples on campus. Mr. Young, the fish principal, responded. They’ve been an excellent class. They did one of the best jobs on the TEAMS test of all the groups who have taken it. That speaks really well for them.” At Red Raider Rally, the officers and senators sold hamburgers, bringing their class account total to $1500. President Tracee Castillo felt the project was successful. All the senators talked to their friends and got others involved. We tried to get everyone to be a part,” she replied. All of the Freshmen Senate members helped with Homecoming in the fall. Homecoming was great! Secretary Brandi McDonald responded. I had fun working with others and getting to meet the older kids. She also praised the hard work of the senators. Amy Beene, Allison Burns. Nook Chcslcy. Stacie Gabriel. Courtney Hager, David Kent. Emily Kent, and Jonathan Mitchell on all projects. When spring arrived, the ninth graders planned to plant flowers in the atrium of the old cafeteria. Vice President Janell Taylor said next year they hope to do even more. She ran for election again, and won, so that she could do more for the school and because being on Senate was fun.” The enthusiasm and dedication for this Freshmen group rippled down to all others in their grade, making this year's fish a spirited bunch. As class sponsor Larry Larison remarked. Representation, participation, and attendance in meetings has been good. The needs of the Freshmen arc being met by this group of Senate members.

It is right after lunch, and the sun beams through the classroom windows. Slowly her words fade into a distant drone as one's eyelids begin drooping. Before one realizes it, sleep carries him off into a dream world. Almost everyone experiences the embarrassment of falling asleep In class at some time. Freshman Chris Spradley soon learned firsthand how it felt to doze off in a high school classroom of older peers. “It seemed I was asleep only a couple of minutes when 1 suddenly popped up out of my seat. I slowly turned around to see if anyone was staring at me. Thinking noone had noticed, Chris settled back down, wondering how he would catch up with the three pages of notes he missed during his nap. Then Mrs. Martin lowered the boom. “She stopped lecturing and asked me if I had a good nap. Everyone turned around staring and laughing. I was so embarrassed. I was so glad I didn't drool all over my desk, though,” Chris said. Whatever the case, sleeping In class always seems to prove embarrassing and sometimes detrimental. Chris was fortunate, for some teachers write infractions for such an offense. Despite the consequences, however, sleep is often inevitable. So have sweet dreams! 154 Freshmen Angela Black Dewond Black Mandi Boehms Jimmy Boland Erik Boldt Michael Boll Tonya Boll Cristy Boulter Misti Bowen Mattie Bowser Kerry Brandt Leslie Breedlove Daryle Brewer Donn Brower Amanda Brown Anicia Brown Jayson Brown Jason Brown Marcy Brown Matt Brown Pam Brown Ricky Brown Katherine Brown Andre Browning Donna Browning Angie Bruce Napha Bunpanyc Jason Burch Nathan Burgess Bryan Burk Billy Burke Cindy Burklin Allison Burns Kevin Burns David Burris Boyd Butcher Cristie Byrd Laquita Caldwel Sam Caldwell Trlcia Caldwell Brian Calvert Katherine Campbell Q Freshmen 155 Michael Campbell Tonya Campbell Tommy Carlile Russell Carmichael Ross Cams Bridget Carpenter Kenneth Carroll Kenneth Carson Tracee Castillo Richard Caudill Charles Cavanaugh Danny Cazalas Marc Cazalas Julie Chambless Dama Champion Shertoddra Chandler Phillip Chatagnier Chris Chunn Amy Clark Brody Clark Holly Clayton Michael Cluff Deborah Cohen Candace Coker Christi Cole Johnathan Cole Julie Cole Cynthia Coleman Jenny Connally Charlotte Cook Paul Cook Joshua Cooper Lee Corley James Cottcn Melissa Cotton John Coursey Cody Cowan Scott Cowell Cavan Craddock Bridgid Crawford Ashley Creasman Undria Criss 156 Freshmen Off the Overhead John Coursey. Mrs. Hardle agreed that math teachers at Lee do expect more from their students. I once had a student tell me that one of the differences was that In middle school you could read your book and be ready for a test. At Lee. you must study your notes, and most of my students aren't accustomed to taking notes. she commented. Most Freshmen, however, seemed to adjust well to the changes. By mid semester, everyone considered note-taking and studying for tests on which teachers actually make up the questions themselves to be a part of a normal routine — a routine they can look forward to for three more years. “I'm supposed to take notes in math class? You’re kidding! Such a response was common among many Freshmen when they compared the math program at Lee with those from their middle schools. Ninth graders interviewed in Mrs. Hardie's 7th period Algebra I class were quick to point out the changes they experienced in high school math. Last year we worked in groups and turned each other's work in. If you made a 100 and someone else in your group made a 60, you’d both get 60s. This year I have to make the grades on my own. and I’m not doing so great, remarked Orlando Raibon. Last year. I’d get through with my math homework early and go back and play video games on a computer.

Freshman Shawn Ralls was one of the many skaters” at REL this year. He practiced the sport in his backyard on his twelve feet wide and eight feet tall ramp, which took him about three months to build. Shawn also enjoyed skating on the streets and visiting friends' ramps for extra practice. As Shawn said, Many people do not realize It, but skateboarding as a sport takes a lot of coordination and practice.” Shawn’s accidents while skateboarding so far were minimal, yet he had his share of falls. For safety reasons, he wore knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet while skating on his ramp. Shawn readily became part of this skateboard mania, enjoying it because. It’s better than just sitting around.” 158 Freshmen Heath Fry Kristin Fuller Stacie Gabriel Kenneth Gardner Tonja Gardner Corbin Geiser Audra Geisler Mandy Gentry Daniel Gersch Jonathan Gilbert Debranda Gillespie Leanne Gilmore Brandon Goff Diana Goldwater Cedric Gooch Ben Goode Robbie Goodin Elaine Goodloe Jenny Gornall Alicia Gould Cheryl Graebner John Gray Melissa Green Pukepcia Green Andy Greene Jason Greeney James Greer Barbie Gregory Kristin Guyton Kristin Hacker Tess Hadden Courtney Hager Brandy Haigood Karen Hall Kendra Hallett Travis Hamblet Paul Hamlin Billie Hammond Kevin Hancock Rob Hand Patrick Hansen Kristie Hardin Freshmen 159 Jason Hardison Mike Hardy Debbie Hargadon Dawn Harmon Stephanie Harms Bruce Harraid Dana Harris Jeff Harris Karen Hart Kari Hartley Joni Hartness Marcus Harvey Ricky Harvey Chris Hawkins Trey Hawkins Amy Hayes Melanie Hayes Felecia Hayter Keith Hayter Mary Hayter Petra Hayter Amber Haywood Ricky Heffel John Henegar Crystal Henry Juan Hernandez Kenny Hernandez Miguel Hernandez Lisa Hibbard Ali Hill Kristi Hill Melissa Hill Olanda Hill Terie Hindsley Todd Hinton Brian Hite Tiffany Hobbs Matt Hogan Tim Holland Keely Hollingworth Chad Hollowell Robin Holmes 160 Freshmen Garpool Crack-ups What has 4 wheels, 6 heads. 12 cars. 1 radio. 1 parent, recks ol Giorgio, and creates a traffic jam at the REL entrances and exits twice a day? If your answer has anything to do with the carpool ritual, you win a place In the backseat, middle. Oh. yes ... carpools. Let's sec. One student is always late, running out the door with a roadie of orange juice and a half-eaten Danish in hand. Then the one who is always on time spends nine months grumbling at the one who is late Remember the girl who waits until she's in the car to fix her hair? Out comes the comb, brush, and dreaded hairspray. Then there’s the nerd who keeps lis nose in a book all year. And poor Miss Priss — she always jnds up next to the Danish and grange juice, squealing at each jump and curve, afraid of being loused with something sticky. There's always one who didn’t :tnlsh his homework and spreads sut notebook, textbook, and as-iignments on everyone's laps. Or how about the band member whose tuba takes up half the backseat? When it comes to carpools. freshmen were usually the experts. In an effort to avoid Lee's madhouse parking lots, moms conspired to create a carpool where they would drive only one day a week. Kids then learned to grin-and-bear-it for the entire school year. Freshmen David Moore. Jason Patschkc. Bo Wolf. Jeff Eckert, and Mike Morman (pictured left to right) said they were often forced to carpool together. Bo's main complaints were the crowd ed conditions. “Jason takes up too much space!” he griped. Mike informed Bo that he smelled, and then David complained. Mike makes crude noises with his underarms! Jeff informed everyone that David's always trying to show off his chest!” Jason only shrugged his shoulders, unable to get a word in edgewise. After enduring a year with a carpool such as this, it's no wonder Lee’s parking tots are so full!

Little did he know of the accomplishments and goals he would reach in the class. Nathan's choir experience began when he Joined his church choir in kindergarten. He sang there until the 7th grade, when he became involved In the Hubbard Middle School choir. He participated in Hubbard chorale In both 7th and 8th grades. After he joined the choir class at Lee. Mr. Butler immediately moved him up to chorale. Lee's equivalent to varsity choir Mr. Butler said I had potential and asked me if I wanted to be in chorale,” Nathan commented. He admitted he had some doubts about the class. “I expected to be an oddball because I was a freshman. but everyone In choir was really nice, and they accepted me as part of the class,” Nathan smiled. Mr. Butler was definitely correct when he said Nathan had potential, for his accomplishments in chorale reflected it. As part of the UIL Men's Ensemble, Nathan's group placed second overall. Nathan was also the only 9th grade member of a quartet with Darwin Cain, Nathan Riggs, and John O’Stcen. This group participated in the Solo Ensemble category and advanced to state competition on May 28 Besides singing Nathan alsc played soccer and took honori and gifted classes. I may have to take extra classes in the sum mer so I can work choir and soc cer into my schedule, he said. Although Nathan was only c freshman, he made numerous achievements this year.

It was a surprise to these two when Coach Brands moved them up to play with the big guys their first year of high school. These guys are no rookies, however; Trey has played since age 4. and Marc since age 5. ‘‘1 started off the this year practicing with the freshmen, Marc commented. Then Coach moved me to J.V. When I found out 1 was going to the Houston Tournament with varsity, 1 was shocked. I thought I was mainly going to carry equip- ment, but he put me in the game some so I would start feeling like more of the team.” Their experience and hard work obviously paid off this year, as both entered numerous games and aided the Raiders as the team advanced all the way to the Rcgionals and ended up the year with a 20-2 record. Marc’s 12 goals and Trey’s speed and handling earned them great recognition. When asked about his overall view of the season, Trey replied, “It was pretty fun being on the varsity team this year because I liked to play with the older guys and the competition was better. Although most of the varsity team graduated this year, with players like Marc and Trey leading the pack, the future for REL soccer still looks bright.

The class of 1991 received this play day” for being the first class to have 85% pass theme writing on the TEAMS test on their first attempt. This was a remarkable improvement when compared to the 59% passing rate of last year. Organized events took place on the football and soccer fields from 12:45 until 3:30. Clad in wind shorts and tanks, the freshmen joined in on flag football, volleyball. and basketball games. Other events included frisbee throws, hacky sack contests, shuffleboard. horseshoes, and tug-of-war between English classes. In view of the many games offered, freshmen Adam Masters remarked. I remember doing this back at Andy Woods in fifth grade.” Many passers-by agreed that the unorganized chaos, as Coach Bice saw it, resembled a huge elementary school recess period. For those who tired of playing games, there was time to grab a free coke and enjoy a group gossip session with friends. When asked how she felt about her free time. Klndra Hyer commented. It's wor derful to have a day off where we ca wear shorts and layout. Matt Crookshanks felt, though, that th field day was boring.

Social Dancing! during class. “We would go over there and pick the girl we wanted to dance with,” he said of the guys. “All of the ugly girls wouldn’t get picked and they’d have to dance together.” he added. At the end of the year, a dance was held at the Rose Garden Center to celebrate the completion of the course. The girls wore their first party dresses and hoped a the “cool” guy of their dreams would ask them to dance. The end of the year dance was my favorite because it was my first formal. commented Stacie Gabriel. Others, however, experienced bad times at their first formal dance. “1 had a miserable time,” groaned Amy Underwood. “We went to Chili’s afterwards and 1 spilled food all over my new dress! Christi Cole and Allison Burns said the Spring Dance turned out differently from how they had imagined it. “It was too proper because the boys stayed on one side and the girls on the other, they commented. “We were told exactly what to do, and the parents were constantly taking pictures!” Thus the Spring Dance drew to a close, yet the entire year of Social Dancing created a string of memories which will definitely last a lifetime. Seventh grade. Social Dancing. Those fun-filled Friday nights where all gathered at the dance studio in Bergfeld Center, supposedly to learn how to dance. This year’s freshmen Stacie Gabriel, Tosha Todd, Allison Burns, Bo Widick, Christi Cole, Amy Beene. Amy Underwood, Brandi McDonald, and Tracee Castillo (pictured left to right) definitely remembered those dancin’ days. The Social Dancing Class of 1986 will most likely never forget the songs, You're My Lady, Rock Me Amadeus,” or the many Whitney Houston tunes which were teacher Carol Hardiman’s favorites to play. There was also the country-western dances to learn, like the two-step and the Cotton-Eyed Joe. Of course, the latter was a favorite of everyone’s, especially on Western Night when all dressed in jeans and boots instead of the usual Sunday attire. As some of the 9th graders reminisced upon this aspect of their 7th grade year, some fond memories were recovered. My favorite part of Social Dancing was when the girls asked the guys to dance.” remarked Tracee Castillo. But you had to practically run to get the guy you wanted! Brandi McDonald remembered those last moments of class each week. “I always dreaded the end of class because all the girls fought over who was going to escort them to the car,” she laughed.

Lee administration made waves of their own this year. Although the faculty was faced with a number of problems regarding rules and regulations, they continued to teach and support all willing students. Many teachers provided tutorial time in which they helped the students individually. This private, more personal, instruction enabled the students to better understand what was being taught during regular classtime. The Robert E. Lee faculty is among the most outstanding in the East Texas area. They are readily qualified to teach not only the basic subjects, but some interesting electives as well. Some of these In a lot of areas changes were made better, but there will always be room for improvements. — Billy Hall. Principal electives include fashion merchandising, gourmet cooking, meat processing, and child development. To show their support for the faculty Student Senate sponsored a “Staff Ap ciation Week”. During this week mem of the Senate made buttons and posters delivered discount coupons to the teacl To close the week, a raffle was held in w gifts donated by area stores were g away to the lucky teachers. Throughout the year the REL educe worked diligently to teach students bol and out of the classroom.

No Taco Bell for us today! Sound familiar? Many students found themselves stopped dally to ensure they had a pass to leave campus. Whether going to Taco Bell or the doctor, one knew that the parking attendants would inquire for an off-campus permit. Lee had three veterans in its parking lots — Mr. Ralston, Ms. Carr, and Mr. Coleman. The rookie in parking warfare was one year attendant Mr. Samek. Although the job required no background experience in security, Mr. Samek had been a certified Texas police officer. The other attendants have had some background in security work as well. Besides dodging cars, the main purpose of the parking attendants was to protect the students' vehicles and to guard against theft. They also controlled the cars going on and off campus by keeping unauthorized vehicles from parking on Lee’s lots. Because of the recent purchase of golf carts, the parking attendants were able to provide transportation for students in cases of emergencies. ‘‘Our main job, said Mr Samek was to help the kids and be here when they needed us. The parking attendants really seemed to enjoy their jobs. Mr Ralston said that he liked it more than any ol his previous jobs. Mrs. Carr mentioned, There arc days when it is very rewarding. Ninety-five percent ol the kids are fantastic and they make the job worth while. 180 Teachers 0 ■ovca to be one of the studei Margaret Rounsavall Govt.; W. History Tracey Rounsavall Ag. Coop.

Love Connection Viewing the number of couples on Lee's campus. one often wonders if Cupid himself decided to make his home at REL. What made it possible for so many to make that Love Connection?” Using a couple of Chuck Willaby’s favorite lines, we found out how Lee couples make these love connections. Claire Duncan remembers the day she and David met. She recalled, A bunch of friends and I were at McDonalds after a football game one night. David came up to me and said. ‘Hey. want to get married sometime?’ I kind of laughed and said.'Kxcuse me.' Later he said 'Seriously, let’s go out sometime.’’’ “The first time 1 saw Craig, he was out on a date with another girl,” said Jill Coody. “I can remember thinking he had a real pretty smile. Sheryl Taylor said 1 remember when we were at Hubbard. I waited in line everyday to buy ice just so I could watch Steve. He bought his lunch everyday.” “The most romantic night Ken and I ever spent together was the night of the Belle Dance,” said Allison Rogers. “After picking me up he blind-folded me and we went to a large pasture where he had arranged dinner. He had set up a table with two chairs, candlelight, music. and champagne. Pat Byerly remarked. I met Heidi when I started working at The Athlete for her dad. We used to hate each other. I started getting along with her when a friend from camp came to town and I told her I liked Heidi. During a basketball game at TJC. I was talking to my friend about Heidi and she overheard me. I asked her to come over to my house to watch the Orange Bowl. That was our first date on January 1, 1987. Vincent Daniels remembered, “When I first met Beth, 1 liked her but I didn’t think she would ever go out with me. One time I was kidding around with her and asked her out. She said yes. but she thought I was kidding and I thought she was kidding. We ended up really going out. On our first date we went to Mazzios and to the movies. We’ve been dating for about two years The game show makes the “love connections look easy, but these couples agreed, although dating is enjoyable, staying together takes effort.

To me it means being free and having fun.” — Crystal Dildy, Junior “I like the freedom to mess around, to go out with the people I want to. It gives me peace of mind and is more fun than dating someone seriously until I’m some ancient age.” — Skee Leonard, Senior “I like being single. Boyfriends can be nice but are not my main goal.” — Alicia Burkett, Sophomore “We think being single is great because we can check out all the guys.” — Emily Osborne and Leslie Tonjes, Freshmen Mini Mag 185 Do Low Funds Mean A Cheap Date? A nice dinner at Schezuan's can run up to twenty dollars, and a show afterwards is a cool ten bucks, assuming she doesn't want popcorn and a coke. A guy can impress a girl with a date like that once or twice, but pretty soon, funds from mowing lawns the previous summer begin to diminish. Does this mean it's McDonalds and a trip to the video store, or no dates at all? According to guys at Lee. it doesn't have to. If ever low on funds, senior Brandt Powell doesn't sweat. Naturally, you go parking. It provides an enjoyable activity which is cost free. Another cost free activity, experienced by junior, Russ Johnson, can be shared with a monkey or an elephant (and that's not your datel); a day at Caldwell Zoo. After raising four boys, teacher Horace Johnson decided to address the problem of no dough”. During class, he always asks what the favorite date is. It's always 'dinner and a movie'. This is the most es-pensive date and the least communication!” Because of this. Johnson spends two days discussing dating and a cheaper way to do it. After spending a mint on a tux to escort a Symphonette. Dan McBurney decided to cut back by eating at a less expensive resturaunt. What culinary delight did he and his date enjoy? Burger King! Survey Says Popular Places 1. Dinner 2. Movie 3. Dancing 4. Parking 5. Rent Movie The Peaks and Valleys Students tell all on best and worst dates! Dating can be either the most fun part of high school or the maker of miserable memories. Who can forget the nights your boyfriend brought you roses or the night he left you sitting at home because he remembered the Mavericks game was on? Whatever the case, several guys at Lee recalled some of their most delightful and distressing dates and lived to tell about them. I'm trying to remember ... ”, pondered senior J.R. Hager. There were a couple of bad ones, but the worst was when I took a date to eat and to a party. When we got there, she saw her old boyfriend and they began hitting it off. I just assumed they were getting back toget1 so I left her. The next day. she called and as where I had gone. I told her I coincidentally into my old girlfriend, too! So I guess it w« good date and a bad date at the same time, just too bad I spent my money on the wr girl! A more special time immediately popped I sophomore Jeff Lackie's mind. After Southern Belle Dance, my girlfriend and I dr up to Lovers Lookout. It was one of the rr romantic times of my life. But it wouldn't h been near as special if it hadn't been with a I loved. Dating Dilemmas Being an underclassman brings a lot of new experiences. Losing the eighth grade ego. being made fools of at the first pep-rally, and getting T’d are among the most memorable events one recalls when remembering the first two years at high school. However, becoming familiar with dating, not going together for one day. can also be an experience. Although there are unlimited things to do on a date, the logistics of getting there can prove to be enough to ruin the whole evening. No driver’s license, and certainly no car, means a ride in Mom’s Taxi” or cruising on a bicycle built for two. This alone can pose several problems, as fish Trey Stephens explained. Your mom in the front seat definitely takes away from the date, but the worst is after you go to the door to get the girl and you come back to the car and your mom says, Buckle up! Sophomore David Danielson also remembered an embarrassing moment en route to a dance. We got in the car and my mom was rocking to the station set on KOOI. Guys aren’t the only ones with dating dilemmas. Saskia Hampe didn’t have to worry about a mom in the car, but a mom at home. I went with a guy to the Senior Prom when I was a sophomore. It was fun — while it lasted. I had to be home at 11:30!!” 186 Mini Mag Exchange of Place Each year Lee hosts exchange student form virtually all parts of the world, rhis year nine students were part of the Rotary exchange program: Jo Akao from Japan. Russ Alexander from Australia. Jaime Cano Dominques from Spain, Frederic Fassottc from Belgium. Nina Holopainen from Finland. Suzane Muelbert iron Brazil. Carlos Romero from Paraguay. Clare Webb from Great Britain, and Renata Willemscn from The Netherlands. The Rotary Club in each country picks those students they feel would most benefit from an exchange program. They find the students a host family, and then pack the students on their way to the USA. Upon arriving, exchange students undergo a brief initiation period, informing them of customs and other particulars of which they need to be aware. They also instill in them THE 4 DON'TS: Don't drink. Don't drive. Don't do drugs, and Don't Date! Then the students arc sent to their host families to experience the culture of the area. And these students sent to Lee in Tyler form their opinions by the way they arc treated by students here. Lee students are encouraged, therefore, to exchange not only a few friendly words, but also some invitations to outside school activities, so that exchange students can really sec what our life is about. All involved can benefit greatly by a slight exchange of place. Personality Profile Lee is always fortunate enough to fnjoy exchange students from every :orncr of the globe, from Japan to Holland to Germany to South Africa. Never before, however, has a student made such a positive impact on campus life as did the Aussie from Down Under. From his arrival in January 1987, Russ Alexander became an integral part of the student body. Russ found America filled with presentations, vacations, and daily schoolwork. Over his year stay, the Rotary Exchange student spoke to over 37 different organizations, providing a constant sideshow of en-lertainment. While in the USA. Russ travelled to New York City, camped in the Rockies, and toured Washington, D.C. He admitted that meeting Mickey Mouse during his 17 hour stay at Disneyland (pictured right) was a definite highlight and described spring break in Florida as quite exciting! During school. Russ racked up more honors. He was treasurer of the Psychology Club, honorary member of the National Honors Society, and an elected senior senator to the Student Senate. He authored the Southern Accent's 'Down Under Report, attended the tennis team's state meet as assistant coach, and boosted spirit at pep rallies and football games as the Red Raider Mascot. Possibly the unique thing about Russ was that despite his many activities. he was never too busy to be a friend. His constant smile cheered up even those who had failed a Whitman exam. Now that he Is back In Gosford, Australia, where he is studying law at the Australia National University, friends realize the extent of his impact on their lives. The class of '88 brought him back for Senior Prom and plans to have him return for the 10 year reunion. After all. one cannot keep a guy like Russ down under” for too long at a time. First Impressions Since hit arrival In the USA on August 25. 1987. exchange student Frederic Fassotte has noted many first Impressions he has experienced. After flying straight from his hometown of Liege, Belgium. Frederic was none too Impressed when he stepped off the plane at DFW to f� nd the •'Texas Heat awaiting him. Then when my luggage got lost. I feh like taking a plane back and forgetting It! he exclaimed. Fred stuck it out. though, and arrived In Tyler soon after. First impression of the fair Rose Gty? Gosh, w+ust a hotel Fred said he thought to himself, although he does remember being impressed by the size of the roads. What about the first day at REL? I looked at the parking lot and thought I had the wrong address. Fred remembered. At his school In Belgium, only about 10 of the 1200 students even own cars I thought I was at a supermarket. he added, laughing. Speaking of supermarkets, what about that first trip to the Brook shire's store? I thought I was beiog treated like a king. he exclaimed. Fred was obviously Impressed by the friendliness expressed to him. a trait he said one doesn't find In the people of Belgium. Well, what was your first impression of the East Texas accent? I like it! Fred remarked. I hope when I go back to Belgium. Ill have a little East Texan accent to take wsth me! How about the Texas girls? 'Texas girls are really pretty. They wear more make-up. but there arc a lot of beautiful girls. Fred smiled What about Texas overall? Was K what you expected? I chose Texas because I love Western movies with John Wayne and his big hat. I expected big ranches, horses, deserts, and cactus. I was impressed there were trees and grass! Fred exclaimed. Despite his unfavorable first impressions. Fred found quite a few things he did enjoy about Texas. I will miss most the American life, Fred sighed It’s so easygoing and relaxed. Belgium Is so tense But wsth his new pair of cowboy boots and his accent, maybe Fred can introduce his Belgian friends to the taste of Texas he enjoyed. This year has really been the best experience of my life. I’ve learned so much. Thanks to everybody at Lee for creating so many wonderful memories and making this year an interesting and unforgettable one! Time flies when you’re having fun!

They also watched as Debi Thomas tell to third in figure skating, behind heated rival Katarma Witt of East Germany. They cheered American Brian Boitano for his gold in figure skating, and applauded the US hockey team, despite its poor appearance RELIGION Scandal involving money and sex seemed to mark the lives of many of America’s famous religious leaders. The PTl Club verged on bankruptcy, adding more controversial publicity to Jim and Tammy Fay Bakker and their fallen administration. Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart was the next caught in the web of moral decay, as tales of his sexual indiscretions with prostitutes were made public. His tele evangelism ministry suffered, also, as more Americans lost faith in the nation's religious leaders.

Both of these, plus other excercise paraphanalia, can be found in the new specialty store, Body Basics.

A Winter Dreamland Early in September when seemingly the only worries occupying the Southern Belle’s minds were flashing that famous smile and keeping the beat, the ten officers were thinking far past the football field. Each year, the drill team officers are responsible for the planning and production of the only school wide formal that takes place. This year, due to the religious beliefs of one of the officers, a Christmas theme was not used, but that failed to dampen anyone’s holiday spirit as a Winter Dreamland was one of the most successful dances of the year. Although the girls planned most of the dance, it was actually the officers' mothers who carried out the orders. Two moms took responsibility for backdrops, refreshments, etc., and saw it to completion. That is not to say that the girls were not an instrumental part of the dance. All Belles, including freshmen, participated in the annual car wash to raise funds and each grade was responsible for either drinks, cookies, or props. The dance was a result of a lot of hard work.” remembers Officer Melody Cool. We painted, and built, and arranged. But when we got presented, it was all worth it.

Then the mentor program i$ probably for you. Although one of the less-publicized events on campus, the mentor program provides students with excellent opportunities to acquaint themselves with professions they find interesting. All juniors and seniors enrolled in at least one gifted class are eligible to participate in this program. Lee sponsor. Shan Nelson, firmly believes in the mentor concept. It helps students to evaluate the job. They can get beyond the glamorous appearance to see both the disadvantages and the pleasant experiences. Many find that the job requires more work and longer hours than they expected. she commented. Mentoring includes a student working on the job with a professional in the Tyler area Mrs. Nelson works to find hosts for the students in the career areas which they choose. It requires many hours on the phone. I start without a clue and call people I think might work in the jobs I need to find. she remarked. I’ve found the more commonplace jobs like ministry, architecture. education, and law as well as the more bizarre and unusual like microbiology, anthropology. and archaelogy. Future plans for the mentor program include possible expansion to include honors students and special classes with seminars and speakers. Thus more students can learn to love or loathe a career which interests them before spending college tuition to major in a certain field.

Unless I had mentored, I would have gone blindly into college wanting to be a lawyer because of the Perry Mason stereotype.” Junior David Steen, Right Veteran Vet Senior Rlc Steele had always wanted to be a vet. since age 5. He mentored, therefore, with Dr. Don Wheeler, an experienced veterinarian in the Tyler community. Ric's experience proved interesting, as well as humorous, however, when he found himself delivering puppies. There was a big dog there, and it was way too thin to tell that she was pregnant! Ric said Then, all of a sudden, out came a puppy. And then another, and then another. It was a really exciting experience, especially since we didn't even suspect that she was pregnant! Thus Ric delivered puppies and also helped care for many other animals brought into the clinic. He decided the whole experience was wonderful, yet he also made some important career decisions. I'm not sure now that I'm cut out to be a vet. Rlc commented. I had a great time, but I don't think it's me. Survey Says Raiders in the Future 1. Lawyers 2. Doctors 3. Businessmen 4. Psychologists 5.

It soon is clear that Nell Carter isn’t the only one singing Gimme A Break! So where do you go? Anywhere but school! That just about covers where Lee students picked to spend their week of grace. Padre Island boasts the slogan, It’s the greatest week you’ll never remember.’’ Partying and playing provided entertainment for all who headed south, or east to the beaches of Panama City. For some, however, slopes were more enticing than sun. Breckenridge. Crested Butte, and Vail were among the favorite places to stand in lift lines, get a raccoon tan, and play in the snow. Those stuck in Tyler adapted to their surroundings. The sunny patch in the back yard became the tropical beach of the Bahamas, with some help from a sister’s sandbox. And if the slopes were impossible to reach, water skiing was great at area lakes. So if you were at Marina del Rey or Marina del Lake Tyler, it didn’t really matter. What did matter was that it was one short week without reports and infractions. Belize Bound! When Lee students think of Central America, most thoughts include Cozumel. Cancun, or Contras. But three unique girls and their fathers had a different picture of our neighbor to the south as they headed to Belize for Spring Break. For the second consecutive year, Audrey Marsh and Laura Nichols, both juniors, travelled to Belize (near El Salvador) for our one week of grace in April. Sophomore Amy Earl joined the ranks this year and helped her father with physical examinations. The two veterans made themselves useful by helping with and keeping records of dental treatments. Laura and Amy helped teach the Indian children how to brush their teeth, and Audrey passed out plastic flutes which delighted both children and adults alike. After playing with the flutes, the three walked around, looked at the huts, and spoke with the families. Soon, the heat began to become unbearble and the girls found themselves joining the children in jumping off of tall trees into the small river that ran by the village. Unfortunately, the group could not eat a meal prepared especially for them, iguana. Overall, Audrey felt, I really learned to appreciate the luxuries we have in the states. It is really neat to see a different culture and to be in a world where life is simple and no one is ever in a hurry. 194 Mini-Mag Dave Hits the Beach During the school year, he is a mild mannered economics teacher. During Spring Break, however, David Newton turned into a party animal on a cruise to the Bahamas. After winning the trip for selling the most encyclopedias last summer, he gladly turned in the economics book for a cruise on Dolphin Cruise Lines, complete with drinks with little umbrellas.” although the he just had a few. The highlight was seeing the most beautiful beaches in the world”, Mr. Newton reminisced. There were some humorous moments as well. One lady had a few too many drinks and as she was dancing, she lost her top! Although his camera missed that spectacle, it did catch a few college girls on the beach. All good things must come to an end. as did Dave's Spring Break. Soon, it was back to pretest questions and reading quizzes. Does he plan to cruise again? You bet!

(at least the house) Spring Break — are two words that trigger thoughts of fun and sun for all students For one group of Lee students, however, it meant fun and sun m a totally different way. Ten members of the Leadership Team of Young Life spent three days on a Mission Retreat during Spring Break During the day. all journeyed to Living Alternatives. a home where women who choose not to have an abortion can live during their pregnancies All ten picked up pamt brushes, caulking and ladders to help the terribly weathered home. When the sun set . it was time to go to a ranch in the country for fun and fellowship It wasn't Padre or Panama — it was. however, a repainted home and a group who sacrificed their Spring Break for the less fortunate Beth Bandy recalls. We wondered what we were doing there, especially the second day when we were painting under a tornado warning But when we viewed the completed house, we knew why we had given up the days and were glad we did. Mini Mag 195 Parent Professors How would you like to have your mom or dad on the job with you? Knowing your every action, whether good or bad?

Mini Mag 197 Say 1+ With Style Upon walking across campus, various styles and fashions can be observed. Of course, there are the general categories of clothes such as the skater look, Levis and ropers, and starched cotton skirts and sweaters. The generalizations end there, however, as most Lee students have their own distinct look. Due to the notorious dress code though, most people’s styles are extremely altered or their school day is. This year saw some totally diverse styles come to REL. A casual look was extremely popular as girls came to school in jeans with gap- ing holes and bleach spots. To dress those up, patches were sewn under some rips. Another laid back look was the jeans cut off and rolled to the knee, a style stolen straight from the blockbuster hit, Dirty Dancing. Guys often wore ropers or a stud look of jeans rolled at the ankles and hightops. Right: Brad Kennignton, with harem of Julie Johnson, Kim Stiefel, and Happy Stout, model the fashions from Locust Street. Below: Below: Terrye Wagner and Glgl Blow opt for the “tough look by Harley Davidson. “I see people trying so hard to be like everyone else, so I decided to do the exact opposite. 1 guess you could say it’s my own revolution.” — Carey Russell, Sophomore “I don’t wear much black.

I dress like my dad!” — Travis Booher, Senior Making a Formal Scene We have all heard the saying. All dressed up and no place to go.” Well, for Lee students, there is never a lack of formal events to dress up for. With Southern Belles dance, Symphonettes Ball, and Senior Prom, guys must visit Al's and Mark's tuxes more often than they like and girls are forced to endure the never ending search for that perfect dress. Many guys agree that wearing a tux can puts a damper on the whole night. Whenever you sit down, the shirt always balloons out, making it hard to eat and the black lacquer shoes always give you blis- Top: ThH group of senior look surprised they ore graduating.

But you never end up turning it all back in anyway. The cumberbund stays in the hotel room and the girl loses the tie.” The girls have a more tiresome task than going to a store and renting their formal attire. While some can find their dresses in Tyler, others journey to surrounding towns or Dallas to find a suitable dress. When both of these choices result in still no dress, there is one more option. I didn’t have time to go out and spend money I didn’t have, so I borrowed one. You don’t want to wear the same dress twice anyway, stated Suzie Wheeler, junior. So although it may be tough preparing for the dance, all would agree all this hassle seems secondary as soon as the dance begins. Mini Mag 199 A “SADD” Case After concern was voiced over the large amount of drinking by Lee students, a group of Haiders took action. Made possible by money donated by the Chi Omega Alumni, the students, with sponsor Anna Gomez, formed the organization S.A.D.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving). Although it began late in the year, several goals were established by the organization. The main purpose was to educate students and parents on the dangers of drinking and driving, and to provide activities to encourage non — drug-alcohol usage. As their campus project, posters were placed around campus and at the Senior Prom advertising the “REL XS-express”, a taxi service which encouraged students to call if intoxicated for a free ride. Although some felt this service condoned consumption of alcohol, members stressed that, they were simply being practical assuming drinking would take place and were acting on concern. S.A.D.D. meets every other Wednesday after school. This year’s officers were: President-Paul Kirkpatrick; Vice-President-Jennifer Strout; Secretary-Lisa Bennett; Treasurer-Angela Gabelmann.

For the week of April 18-22, Robert E. Lee focused on the number two killer of teenagers today, drug and alcohol abuse. Although a very negative problem facing our society, I ee students and faculty took positive steps toward drug awareness and education. The Student Senate was instrumental in the success of the week, giving each day a specific drug to focus on, an accompanying theme, and handouts with additional information. The first four days centralized on cocaine and crack, alcohol, acid, and marijuana, and the week ended with Only Thugs Do Drugs — Dress like a druggie, don’t be one. The Senate also brought a wrecked car and placed it in the middle of the courtyard as a symbol of the results of drinking and driving. Along with these days, several classes instigated awareness projects on their own. Mrs. Martin and Mr. Maxwell’s classes participated in a balloon launch in the memorial area, and the homemaking classes joined forces to make and display anti-drug posters across the campus. Mrs. Ham’s classes sponsored a poster contest for all homerooms in which they could enter anti-drug posters in hopes of winning a cash prize. Winners were: first-Peggy Marcom, second-Patsy Harris, third-Shari Nelson, and honorable mention-Martha Walls. The third period class of Mrs. Hitt observed the effect of drugs not only on the high school level, but on elementery age children as well. So, on Thursday, they traveled to Rice Elementery to take part in “BAD” (Buddies Against Drugs). Although many high school age students take some form of drugs every day, Lee students said,“Just Say No! Either through school wide attempts or classroom efforts, drug awareness week made its mark on our campus, and hopefully on all students. Mini Mag 201 As early as the first few football games, one could sense the impending success of the Red Raiders. 1987-88 saw almost every sport acheive unbelievable success and most against great odds. The first-ever playoff football team was picked to finish fifth out of eight teams; they advanced to bi-district. The football team was not the only one to go beyond district, as the Raider tennis team made it all the way to the state championship where they took the state title for the first time in our school’s history. Although our basketball team saw some tough losses, all was forgotten at the John Tyler-Lee game as David Martin threw up a desperation shot from behind mid-court and won the game 64-63. Spring sports saw the emergence of our soccer team which marched all the way to regionals and both boys and girls swimming teams captured the district title. The baseball team, ranked fifth in the state early in the season, fell on tough times, but managed to finish the season with an impressive 19-8 record. Late in the season, the 1600 yard relay team made it to the state championships where they ran away with the silver medal. So, despite the sport, Lee athletes excelled by Riding the Waves of sports.

Below right: Cross Country shows off their trophies Below left: Coach Arrant is getting soaked. ft, JlLg, If a brisk two or three mile run through the country side early on a fall morning with dew soaked Adidas sounds like a good way to start your Saturday, Coach Arrant would like to see you. For the third year running the R.E.L. cross coun-try team maintained its fearsome reputation. The Lee runners competed in seven meets, brought home ten trophies, placed second in district and sent ten runners to the Regionals in Arlington. Coach Malinda Arrant also managed to make history of another type this year by being named the first woman coach of a male team. “The guys did not seem to mind having a female coach and I loved working with both teams. After all, we train together, travel together and run in the same meets, so it only “Cross country is hard work, makes sense for the but crossing the finish line coach to work with makes you realize it’s all both males and fe-been worth it”. males,” said Coach Ar- -Trisha Marshall rant. The most valuable runners were chosen by the team and announced at the sports banquet in February. They were Patricia Marshall and Brian Wesson. Patricia’s best time was two miles in thirteen minutes. Brians best for three miles was fifteen minutes. The next time you see exhausted runners circling the campus give them a thumbs up, they are not lost, just practicing for another winning season. i Cross Country 211 The varsity basketball season was not an outstanding one. but there were definitely some outstanding performances. Reggie Cobb’s nasty slams and David Martin’s last second shots are only a couple of the seasons highlights. The Raiders had some hard times, but the harder it got the quicker they would bounce back. The team’s 16-lb record wasn’t exactly what they had hoped for, but despite the inexperience of the young team, they did well. The team did win 3 of their last 4 games. The last second, mid court shot by David Martin in the J.T. game was definitely the highlight. Martin, only a junior, said. “The season was a learning experience. There were ups and downs, but every player learned what it took to win.” Although the Freshman white team had a rather slow season, they finished the year with a 9-7 record. Overall, the Freshman red team completed the year with a 21-4 record proving a very successful season. The junior varsity team, coached by Tobin Reid, finished 10-3 in distict. putting them in second place. They also defeated the J.T. district champs 2 out of 3 times. We played with a young, inexperienced team. A lot of men are returning; the future looks good!” — Coach Jones 212 Above: Reggie Cobb took to [he heaven in hopes for some help in making [he shot.

Both boys and girls’ teams dominated dis- ____________ trict competition and at regional, the boys placed first with the girls not far behind at third. “Going into the year, we had great potential and depth, especially with the boys. I think we showed that at District,” said Coach Eubanks. Not only did they show it at district, but at the state championship as the four qualifiers were cheered on by a group of hometown fans. The freestyle relay of Vincent Daniels, Bill Campbell, Curtis Johnson, and Jack Currin placed seventh, while Currin also placed third in the 50 free and fifth in the 100 free. __________________ Although it may not be as evident at the daily 6:00 a.m. workouts, the “Wet Raiders” thrive on team spirit.

For the Lee track teams, however, it meant Friday night curfews and early Saturday morning meets, of-ten with little recog-nition. Although they didn’t receive a lot of attention, that did not stop them from achieving numerous medals. “We work as a team and we’re all one big family!” — Julie Alden, Senior Discipline, hard work, some muscles, and early morning grumbling paid off for the teams this year as both competed in regional competition. “This has been a good very good year, said Coach Malinda Arrant. “With a little hard work and commitment, next year’s R.E.L. track should be just as good, if not better!” Track 223 OlUJL In the fall of ’87, the varsity tennis team Tn r splashatcstate by defeating Ab-ilene-Cooper 10-5 and capturing the only UIL When I look back on the Mason,!

Isabel de Rosas and Renna Rhodes finished first in District play by defeating their teammates, Stephanie Nikolic and Lissa Kimmel. Yet. both teams advanced to Regionals. Matt Conrad and Austin Williams took the District title in boys’ doubles by defeating Brett Findley and Shay Coker. REL sent a total of nine players to compete at Re-m gionals-more than any other school. The only players to qualify for the state finals in Austin were senior Brett Findley, who is returning to state for his second consecutive year, and his doubles partner, Shay Coker. The tennis team showed tremendous strength during the ’87-’88 school year. Because the talented team is so young, the majority of the players will be returning next year for another exciting season.

Both teams went to District where Angie Magee and Brian Davis acheived the prestigous titles of District Medalists. Their “Golf is a game in lot of patience. I I’m a lousy golfer.' Senior rank in district enabled them to advance to Regionals. The outcome there was not places as Austin, Denton, Lufkin, and Longview. Coach Hanks described an incident from the trip to Lufkin as .. the most unusual and unexpected event in all my history as a coach at Lee.” Two students on the boys team threw a ball out of the bus window and it hit the windshield of an oncoming which you need a guess that’s why ’ — Paige Prince, as successful as they hoped, but overall, both teams were pleased. The highlight of the season for Lee’s golfers, came not on the golf green, but on the road trips to and from competitive tournaments. They journeyed to such car. Needless to say they got into a deep “hole” with that shenanigan. So although these players aren’t quite ready for the Eisenhower Classic, the future looks bright.

Whether it is at sports events, soc-hops, Southern Belles or Sadie Hawkins, it is usually easy to see (or be blinded by) a friend’s “Le Clic.” And it is always easy to find Nancy, the famous candid taker from Delk. Of course, there are those pictures we often dread; the first day last day of school syndrome all mothers fall victim to or the photos taken before a dance as your dad captures your date entering the door, giving you your corsage boutineer, both of you leaving the house, etc. Even though these are always embar-rasing, it is many of these pics that make it into our frames, onto our bulletin board, or in our scrapbook.

Amherst Tyler, Texas 75701 __wc all have them, and sometimes things happen to change them. But there are some expectations that never change —like the fun and comfort of a best friend, the satisfaction of a good test grade, or the chills a school song brings when sung across a lighted field. At TU Electric, wc realize you have expectations of us, too — like having the electrical power ready when you turn on your computer, put on some records or plug in the blow dryer. And when the power does go off, we know you expect it to be restored quickly. And it will be. That’s just part of our commitment to provide quality electric service to customers.
