Water is. . . the clouds of moisture complementing the vast horizon, the falls plummeting to the depths o f the gorge below, the frost glistening with brilliance in the sunlight, the currents swirling turbulently in the rapids. Opening 3 Sterling is as much a necessity to our lives as water. An element which provides for our future, its value has no measurable worth. However, opportunities not yet sought, and years not yet lived are forever influenced by the education, activities, and experiences we students encounter. Attired for Sophomore Spirit Day.

Water undergoes a changing, continual cycle which supplies an unending source of life-sustaining liquid. The process could not endure without the aid of outside forces of nature. Harnessing the power of the sun. the cycle begins and is able to provide the earth with its resources. Opening 7 As students, our initial motivator is Sterling and its curriculum. Academically, the school offers us basic knowledge in all areas so that we may build a foundation for future learning and experiences. Vocational programs such as horticulture and data processing at Stuart Career Center, and cosmetology and auto mechanics at Sterling teach fundamental material which can be applied in future job situations. The “basics” in English and math courses permit us to study in more advanced courses. Electives provide knowledge appealing to our interests. • Opening Cheerleaders Don Powis and Byron Singleton, silhouetted against the Homecoming bonfire, perform the victory cheer. Water is. . . the river flowing silently beneath a bridge, the dew blanketing fields of grass at daybreak, the ocean tides receding as quickly as they advance, the icicles hanging from branches like suspended crystals. . .

Miss Anna Jones and Miss Jackie Smith enjoy a conversa- tion in the yearbook room before leaving school. Fog hovers over the ocean in early morning hours. Water is. . . the snow collecting on the boughs of pines, the whitewater swirling after a wave breaks, the raindrops patterning a window pane, the ice capturing a lake in frozen stillness. . .

Overalls were a common sight every Friday erf football season, along with various styles of hats. With summer approaching, an array of T-shirts began to appear. Students used T-shirts as a way of expressing many feel- ings or their choice of college. Keeping up with the current fashions soon brought about several fads. Gauchos. sundresses, high heeled shoes, sus- penders. and new hair styles were among the trends that lasted throughout the school year. Trends Among Friends S’Mfeni Lit 29 Computer Delays Class The school year started with a slight delay for 175 stu- dents’ who did not receive schedules the first day of school. Mr. Lumpkin slated that the reason for the mix-up was with the computers. Within a week the counselors had hand processed most of the missing schedules. It took a lit- tle longer to work out the problems of balancing classes. On September I. while students were leaving for lunch, several witnessed a tornado coming out of the clouds on the North Main side of campus. New was the introduction of the advisory schedule dur- ing which both service and interest club meetings were held. Newspapers were also sold, while voting for class favorites occurred. The first week of school a special advi- sory class was held so that the changes in the handbook could be discussed. New rule changes such as dress and hair code were among the things presented. Mrs. Dixon, the new senior counselor, addressed 535 seniors at their first class meeting of the year. Among the topics discussed were the importance of credits, since there would be no chance for them to be made up. and the achievement tests required for college entrance. Many students gel their first real look at a real tornado during lunch. Coach Clyde Alexander discusses rule changes to his advisory class. Mrs. Robbie Dixon addresses the fir i meeting of the senior class. 30 Student life l.inda Sim sell Leonard Schneider a Sentinel. Stcfany Bart . Ashley Bean.

Honoi) Society Increases Sales Total profits of over $400 were made from the annual National Honor Society football program sales. At the Lee vs Sterling game S100 alone was made with about 25 NHS members selling. Members who volunteered sold programs at each of the six home games. Each month the Sentinel staff, with the help of a few clubs and organizations, sold newspapers for 25c in the commons and during advisory class. The staff s goal was to include a broader school news coverage, news coverage. In August the first shipment of 1976-77 yearbooks arrived. Members of the Governor staff worked dili- gently over the weekend and first week of school to complete the stamping of names on approximately 1.200 books. Something new in the yearbook was the horseshoe brand which was used to carry out the west- ern theme of the book.

Students obtain a permit to protest taking Christmas celebration out of the school. 32 Sk d nt lif smiles worth millions Over 1300 underclass pictures were taken by Provine Studios within the two day period with one make up day. One day was set aside for each of the club initiations, service and interest. New members were dressed up in some way to reflect what club they were entering. Their wardrobe ranged from antlers to curlers. Beauty is sometimes hidden, as was the case of some thirty male contestants of the Lioness beauty pageant. The applicants, sponsored by clubs and organizations, were divided into two assemblies in which they exhib- ited their femininity by responses to questions as well as attire. Mrs. Suzi Powers served as Mistress of Ceremo- nies. The winner of $25 in the first assembly was Danny Mendoza, and Jamie Lansford in the second. Identification cards were a must to participate in the many school activities. Without it. a student was not allowed to sit in the student section at football games, check out library books, or vote in school elections. I.D. pictures were taken the first two weeks of school with the help of teacher aides. The singing of the National Anthem at varsity home games was carried out for the third year by Joni Rawls. Beginning as a sophomore, she has performed before each home crowd. Students contested the lawsuit over the removal of Christmas and its celebration in school programs. In order to protest, they were required to obtain a parade permit from City Hall. A temporary decision was made to allow voluntary participation in Christmas activities.

Ordering class rings was one step in preparing for the senior year. Students lined up early in the commons on September 14th for the one day sale. Rings were delivered on the last day of class December 16th before the Winter Holidays. Part of student council’s responsibilities was to handle nomina- tions and voting procedures for all elections such as: I lomecommg and Twirp Court. Governor and First l.ady Assembly, and favor- ites. Students were also given a chance to give a part of themselves to benefit others through the Stars Blood Drive. According to Claire Bays, about 1(H) donations were committed, and final donations were in excess of 160 pints, exceeding all expectations.

Each day was given to different grade levels, starting with freshmen on Monday, in order to express their enthusiasm. At the pep rally Friday afternoon, after the yell con- test. it was decided that the seniors were winners. The traditional bonfire was lit at 7:30 p.m. on October 13 before a crowd of over 1000. Wood had been gathered after school Wednesday and all day Thursday. Representatives from different clubs, along with several police, spent the night in order to guard the bonfire wood. The Homecoming game was a big success as we triumphed over Galena Park 29-6. During halftime activities the Homecoming Court was escorted onto the field by their fathers.

Lee. How- ever. the real battle began a week before either team had even entered Stallworth Stadium. It was not the football which was thrown, but rather expressions of rivalry. Each day of the week preceding “the game was designated for a spe- cial activity such as Sock it to the Ganders day when the halls were filled with students sporting an interesting array of socks. A victory parade marched around the commons and proceeded through the halls consisting of floats and costumed students displaying spirit banners. Although they remained anonymous, teachers got into the act with an instrument procession during the pep rally as masked Rangers. The extra spirit proved successful as the Rangers routed the Ganders 10 toO.

After careful and lengthy debates by the school board, it was decided that Christmas would he celebrated on a voluntary basis only. This decision was only temporary In the C hnstmas assembly, different aspects of Christmas were presented such as the origin of the Christmas tree and Christmas carols The Jewish holiday. Hanukkah. was also observed in the celebration of winter holidays. Students attended these activities on a voluntary basis and a study hall was provided for those who did not wish to participate. The tree, as in previous years, was provided by Distributive Educa- tion. Industrial Cooperative Training helped in decorating the tree. Students wishing to participate gathered early on a Monday morning before the bell to dedicate the tree. Between the tests, homework assignments, and usual classroom procedures, students seldom found lime for any kind of recreation. Weekends were pos- sibly the only reward that students had to look for- ward to at the end of a busy week. With the smash hit movie. “Saturday Night Fever. students found a simple expression with which to identify . . “Night Fever.” With the popular songs by the BceGees constantly playing on the radio, the anxiety of the weekend was almost unbearable. Friday and Saturday nights were for stepping out. whether it was just a ride down Texas Ave. or a rock concert in Houston. Quick-food restaurants were the stopping spots for conversation and a snack with friends. With McDonald's at one end and Jack-in-thc-Box at the other, the choice was not difficult. The closest one was the best one. Houston was the hot spot for concerts. The Sum- mit. Coliseum. Jeppcsen Stadium, and various other stadiums hosted such groups as Kiss. Fog Hat. Queen, the Eagles, and John Denver. w T E X A $ M Texas Ave. becomes the mam drag on weekends V_________________________________________________J n V Chuck Jensen cruises Texas on his own personalized set of wheels.

As girls swapped lipstick and compared thicknesses of petticoats. guvs secretly admired each other's sunglasses and pretended to be Fonzics with I - shirts rolled up over bulging (or not so bulging) biceps. Although the bun- nyhop did not catch on before school in the commons (maybe because there was no music), students did listen and even jitterbugged to oldie- goldics in the commons at lunch. That night, after the Lee-Sterling basketball game, the fifties theme was carried over into a sock-hop co-sponsored by AFS and Student Council. This dance had the largest turn-out of any Sterling dance ever. F.vcn before this dance was out of the minds of everyone, the Amigo’s dance-a-thon was being planned. Organized from start to finish by the Anchor Club, the dance-a-thon was held on April 14 in the Winnie Brown Gym. Anyone could dance for the price of admission, hut contest- ants had to have sponsors to pay them by each hour they danced Over $3.0(X) was made by the Amigos and was used for things such as transpor- tation for students, as well as vaccines and equipment they use to help Latin Americans.

Students Control Baytown for a Day On February 9, the city of Baytown fell under the jurisdiction of selected seniors of Ross Sterling. It was a new experi- ence for all who participated, and also a learning one. Students actually participated in the governing of their own com- munities. Positions ranged from mayor to library directors to school principals. Students arrived early on February 6 to sign up for offices. t four o'clock in the morning there were already some 30 students in line.

Stixfeni 53 Because of the apathy shown in the past towards selling chicken fry tickets and also as a reward to seniors who sold more than their share of tickets, a new system was estab- lished. This new system involved the pro-rating of prom tickets according to the number of chicken fry tickets sold by each individual. A senior selling thirty tickets received both prom tickets free. If fifteen tickets were sold, one prom ticket was free and the other was five dollars, and so on. Before the chicken fry, seniors were encouraged to sign up for shifts to work, although many chose to work all day. Customers never waited in line since workers continually filled and stacked boxes. Although there were cases of grease burns and flour in the hair, a greater profit was made than ever before and seniors agreed that it was well worth the effort. Speed and endurance from these students keeps everything moving. Larry McCage. Kim Barrow, and Jamie Bond tend to one of the stoves. Chicken Fry Provides Nest Egg for Prom [Jonna Dickon We asked.

There were so many couples, in fact, that tables had to be set up on the dance floor in order for all couples to eat the buffet-style meal before the dance. After everyone feasted on l.ondon-Broil. they danced to the melodics of Jason” or waited in line to get their pictures taken. This picture line stretched from the front of the Warwick across the dance floor at limes, since left- over money was used to pay for each couple’s pic- tures. The traditional ring ceremony at the end of the prom took on a new twist as a few words were said about each senior as he or she went through the ring. Despite the record attendance at this prom. Warwick personnel complimented seniors on their behavior even though the old phrase, “a good time was had by all.” still applied. yPtcm Mike Siewart. Tanya Nettles.

Student Ut� 57 The traditionally religious Baccalaureate Service brought the whole event of graduation into perspec- tive for many seniors. Before Baccalaureate, caps, gowns and tassels were merely material objects, but as seniors donned the traditional blue and white, they realized that graduation would soon be a reality, with the tassel sy mbolizing the completion of many long years of hard work and accomplishments. Mrs. LaDcll Sanders gave deeper meaning to this fact when she quoted John Ruskin in saying. “The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them: not merely indus- trious. but to love industry: not merely learned, but to love knowledge: not merely pure, but to love purity; not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice. The highlight of the service was the Baccalaureate address given by Father A. C. Herndel of St. John Evangelist Catholic Church. Father Herndel spoke of Baccalaureate and Graduation as being more than just an ending and a beginning, but rather as a kind of challenge for seniors. In other words, graduating seniors now will have a diploma, but it is up to them to make the most of their education and hard work.

The night took on an air of dignity and tradition as (he grad- uates marched single file into Stallworth Stadium. It even ended on a traditional note, as seniors waged watergun war- fare as pan of their jubilation after graduation Trying to con- ceal their weapons from teachers and at the same time to let everyone know they were not willing to give up their seniority without a fight, they aimed at unaware junior posts. However, none of this detracted from the night's solemnity as the award- ing of diplomas, speeches, and the announcement of fony-four scholarships and twelve awards took place. It was a rather lengthy commencement, lasting eighty min- utes. but it was well worth it as seniors conveyed feelings of gladness for the experiences they had. and their emotions ol hope for what lay ahead.

Sport� 61 Pre-Season Favorite Finishes 5-5; Tenacious Defense Revenges Cross-Town Rival Lee 10-0 The scoreboard (ells the story in the game against Robert E. Lee. “Help from a 9-1 junior varsity and 17 varsity letterwinners and Sterling’s return to the throne after a one-year absence.” Bill Me Murray, Houston Chronicle. The Rangers were picked to win district by most pre-season polls. Sterling opened the season against Westchester and Sam Rayburn, both games resulting in losses — 7-14. 10-20. They got on the winning track the third game by beating Madison 14-7. September 30 Sterling opened up district play against Forest Brook, losing 8-20. Even though they lost three times, the Rangers were only 0-1 in district play. Blanking MacArthur 14-0 and blitzing Galena Park 29-6, the district record was 2- 1. The next two dates — October 21 and 28 — put Sterling out of contention. They lost to Smiley 7-9 and Aldine 13-17, respec- tively. Instead of giving up now that they were 3-5 on the season and 2-3 in district play, the Rangers put on their game faces and went on to whip North Shore 22-0. There they put on their best defensive show, hold- ing the Mustangs to 58 yards — 117 through the air and minus 59 on the ground. Scoring on interception returns were linebacker Mike Padgett and defen- sive back Brian Baker. Next came THE GAME which was tied at five wins apiece. Remembering last year’s defeat of 26-8, Sterling tore at Lee with a vengeance. The defense led the way by shutting out Lee and intercepting three passes. The offense produced 10 points, which was enough to thoroughly avenge cross-town rival Lee 10-0. This victory recorded the first time the Rangers ever ended a season with a win in their 11-year history. top to bottom: Coach Kluch. Steve Haslcy. Keith Morgan. C. J. Messiah. Mike Breaux.

Placing first in the Bay- town Junior Varsity Tournament, the J.V.'s also had Ricky Lawrence. Chris Hastie and Pete Stutts named to the Alf- Tournamcnt team. It was a year for grooming the players for varsity. Sterling had a new basketball team, the Bandits, consist- ing of sophomores. For a first year showing of 4-8. the Ban- dits did a good job. Coach Clyde Alexander said about the freshmen: In a season when Short People was a controversial hit song nationwide, it was more or less an appropriate theme song for the Freshman basketball team. However, the team improved at a steady pace and with the exception of a few- inconsistent performances at the start of district play, we made steady and noticeable progress. A third place trophy from the Clear Lake Tournament and 11 wins and 16 losses was the final season tally, but not indicative of the constant improvement and team-oriented play which was evident to all who observed the team throughout the year.'

It is not fair to say Flippo or Herring won the games even though pitching was the Rangers’ strength with over 10 shutouts. It took a team effort in which no single person could take credit, but instead shared the reward with all. With a relentless defense, the few balls that missed the catcher’s mitt found their ways into skillful gloves and preci- sion handling. But just keeping the opponent restrained was not enough. There had to be points on the board to exceed those of the opposing team. With batting averages like Price’s .370 and Pad- gett’s .323. a threat of a shutout against the Rangers seemed an impossibility. Senior Jimmy McGilvary spurred the Ross hitting attack, ending the season with five homeruns and a .354 average. 10-2 82 IdMbol o 12-1 Allowing a lone run and winning two extra-inning games in the Galveston tournament, the Rangers dispelled any notion that their achievements were a mere streak of luck. Ten frames against the hosting Tornadoes resulted in a 1-0 victory for the tenacious Rangers. Finishing the tourney impres- sively. the Blue hurlers extended their shutout pace for the seventeenth consecutive inning. After advancing to the bi-district play-offs, state seemed to he nearer than the distance between Flippo's pitches and the strike zone. It was not as easy as their road to first and second round district championships, as Sterling soon discovered. The first game ended with a close 1-0 margin. It is hard to say what happened then. With the home advantage. Port Arthur reigned supreme with an 8-0 shutout. The bout was evened at one win apiece. On Friday. May 13. Port Arthur won the third game of the series and spoiled the Ross hopes of bring- ing home a slate crown. ftoMboll 83 Senior Leadership, Team Effort Bring Home Crown Head Coach Ronnie Kluch contemplates a player's position.

Girls Breeze to Title; Boys Finish Second According to Coach Drew Dunlap, the season had many outstanding moments as well as indi- viduals. The highlight was qualifying for the State Meet for the 12th time in a row. The girls team did a fantastic job in their first year by win- ning district. This team must regroup, as only two arc returning. The boys’ JV team, with its district sweep, kept their record alive of winning district every year. Captains Ricky Cowan and Barry Coffman state: This team was a team of competitors. It was not the most talented ever, but wc all knew how to compete. Even though we lost district for the first time in six years, it was the best effort of the year (District Meet). This program has a tra- dition of pride, hard work, and winning. Our hope is that future teams will continue in this fine fashion.” top to bottom Coach Dunlap. Sharia Sinclair. Alison Whitehead. Molly Martin. Donna Clark. Manager Dwayne Havis. Rhonda Jacobs.

However, with a strange sales pilch and a determination of steel, the Governor staff performed their annual sales assembly held on Halloween Day. Acting out the familiar pumpkin patch scene of Peanuts fame, members per- formed a skit with the theme Turn A Dream into Reality Buy a Yearbook. Prior to the assembly, staffers went to classrooms in their disguises and handed out candy with slips attached, which later were drawn for five free books. The staff was represented at five different workshops held throughout the year. At Texas Women's University the 1977 Governor received the Texas High’School Press Association's Certificate of Merit and the U.I.L. Award of Achievement at the University of Texas workshop. Mark Casey also received a photography award at the Sam Houston State University Workshop last July. The school year ended in double overtime for the staffers, as many stayed a week after school was dismissed to complete the new college-sized yearbook.

In September members had a car wash to raise money for the many activities. At Christmas the girls made stockings and filled them with candy. Members then gave them to patients at the Allenbrook Center as well as the children at the Opportunity Center. The library received $40 for a new time stamping machine. During the week of the Lee game, members deco- rated the lockers of the football players to help build spirit. Before winter exams the girls made cookies to serve to the teachers as a token of their appreciation. The club ended the year with the annual banquet at Wyatts April 29. The new officers were announced at this time. Laura Chappell. Pam Primeaux. and Sharon Cone prepare (o hand out stockings at the Allenbrook Center. Denise Wilkinson contributes an idea for a poster. SOTKtOvb 133 Girls Aid in Muscular Dystrophy Drive; Sell Fruit the Kevwaneties participated in various activities ranging from serving refreshments to the football team, to making mums to collecting for muscular dystrophy. During the Labor Day holidays, the girls answered tele- phones at Hugh Wood Ford to take pledges for the drive, which yielded one million dollars in Baytown. The main serv ice was the annual mum-making project prior to homecoming. Making nosegays for the first time proved to be a success. At Thanksgiving the group helped the West Baytown Kiwanis Club sell grapefruit and oranges. Karin Whittredge sold the high of ninety cases. Kcywancttc Officers Kim Barrow, secretary: Lola McCage.

The students finance, decorate, and dedicate it. Besides finding a tree, they also provided Christmas music during the Christmas season. Another one of their projects was selling the advertisements which appear in the Governor. This helps D.E. students with practical experience in selling, contacting potential custom- ers. and contract writing. D.E. students also participated in local, area, and state meets of the Distributive Education Clubs of America which is the largest youth organization in this country . Since D.E. students attend school in the morning and work m the afternoon, they honor their employer with a luncheon each year. Each boss was presented a Certificate of Appreciation for providing the work experience and guid- ance for the D.E. students.

On December 13, 1977. the board passed a bond election in the amount of S24.500.00. The program included plans for the building cation facility, six new elementary1 school gyms, and ren- ovations throughout the district. Plans for Sterling were to complete the top wing, construct a swimming pool, and repair Memorial Stadium. Principal Gilbert Lumpkin was responsible for the administration of the entire complex It was his duty to organize, supervise, and manage the affairs of the school. Along with this he also found time to associate with the students and faculty. Assistant principals supervised and visited classes, conducted teacher evaluations, and secured substitutes.

Richard Bcthcll — Junior Assistant Principal Counselors, Secretaries Adjust to Change Change from the eighty minute class periods to the fifty-five minute class peri- ods brought about much unforeseen confu- sion at the beginning of the second year. Along with their other jobs, the secretaries and counselors had the task of providing corrected schedules for each student. They were also responsible for balancing the classes. Schedule conflicts were expected, but the added paperwork caused by the shortened periods made it difficult for a student to speak with his counselor. It also delayed the review of each student's four year plan. The secretaries were kept busy tending to the needs of the students and the adminis- tration. Writing early dismissals, taking care of fees for lost books, making attend- ance reports, and keeping up with the regu- lar work assigned to them became daily duties of the secretaries.

Richard Wolfe finds the card catalog helpful when looking for books. Morning Studies The library was a popular place before school from 7:30 to 8:00 a.m. Every seat was taken as students prepared for their school day. One hundred and fifty-eight classes came to the library during the year. Along with the reference books, audio vis- uals. newspapers, and magazines were available for research. Among special services provided for teachers and stu- dents were classroom loans of up to 100 books per loan, book lists compiled for any teacher who requested a list, and overnight loans of reference materials such as ency- clopedias and American Heritage magazines. The library' staff consisted of Betty Johnston and Lois Snead. The secretary was Tommye Glynn Clark, while Karen Mullins and Martha Coates served as library aides. During the winter trimester, actors from the Texas Thea- ter of Arts Foundation presented a program for the Eng- lish classes. These performances were held in the library. The visit from this Houston group was just one of the events which occurred within the English department. Teachers attempted to make elasswork more interesting through special activities. In Suzy Power’s Phase III class, students staged a scene from Fahrenheit 451. As a result the book seemed more realistic. Dorothy l.eezer and Barbara Sultis both established a Hall of Fame for their freshman classes. Students were required to adopt the personality of a famous person and present a report to the class. They were admitted according to the originality and quality of their presentations. Librarians Mrs. Elizabeth Johnston. Mrs. Tommye Clark, and Mrs. Karen Mullins help promote National Library Week 213 Concepts, an Important Part of Teaching Prograrr To teach concepts to students in such a way that they learned from their own experiences was the goal of the science program. Activity-centered programs such as neutralizing bases with acids and conducting electricity kept student inter- est because they took an active part in experimentation. Through studying nature, freshmen gained experience in setting up problems, making observations, and eventually for- mulating conclusions. As in the science program, the math program’s main con- cern is a student’s education. The success of the math pro- gram was shown by the results of several math tournaments. At the Houston Metro Math Tournament. Pete Tao won a trophy for tenth place in Analytic Geometry: one team received a ribbon for placing fifteenth and Marc Stephenson won third place in Algebra and Geometry at the Lee College •Math Contest. Although they won no trophy at the Lamar University Math Tournament, the team of Marc Stephenson. Neal Wilcox. James Hughes. Dwayne Trahan, and Danny Jones distinguished themselves by being one of only two teams out of thirty-five to place all team members in the top twenty-five percent. In March, the 29th Annual Mathematical Association of America Test was given and the winner at Ster- ling was James Hughes, senior.

Health Program Changes; Roller Skating Is Added There were two major changes made in the health program. First of all. health education was taught in two sections. Students usually take first aid. hut this was the first time that they were able to lx certified. The first part of this course discussed mental health, drug education, communicable diseases, community health, and consumer health. The second half concen- trated on environmental health, nutrition, family liv- ing. and first aid. While the girls were involved in home nursing, the boys took physical fitness. A new class was added to the girl's physical educa- tion program during the third trimester. Excluding freshmen, all students were able to take skating les- sons. The girls also enjoyed participating in a variety of activities such as volleyball, badminton, body con- ditioning, dance, basketball, gymnastics, archery, golf, softball, tennis, and recreational games. The highlight of boy’s physical education was par- ticipating in activities such as softball, tennis, and football outdoors. Behind the Wheel was offered to a few people who were willing to substitute written reports for their driving days. Participating in the new skating class is Karen Manchester. Two enjoy a friendly game of timed competition in badminton. Acodcnuo 217 Sharon Manlove German. Mathematici Martha Marti Phy. Fd- Cheerleader.

Although school began abruptly on an August day when schedules were as disorganized as freshmen, the 175 days took its toll. It was a year for underdogs like the girl’s basketball team, who contributed a regional trophy as well as a universal pride to Sterling. However, 1977-78 might have been described as the year of great expectations with upsets like the top- seeded Ranger football and basketball teams, which ended up in the middle of the race. In every aspect, spirit was the prevailer. Water’s everlasting presence has continually determined the face of the earth. Like water, individuals shaped Sterling in many conducive ways, creating foundations or roots for generations of students to come. The title of 1977’s best selling novel Roots could have been applied to Sterling, for several “roots” were established in a year marked by firsts in Ross history. Not only was a girls cross country team affirmed, but also a district title. The initial co-ed service club. Octagon, and the Star stage production.

Because it supplies nourishment and supports life, man has continued to search for different uses. In the same way, once we discover new knowledge, we pursue more learning. Our academic accomplishments act as a stepping stone to further achievements. As schedules changed from four to six classes and from eighty to sixty minutes, learning shaped and also progressed.

Attending a game against Lee. he views varsity baseball action. “The Sterling Athletic Department has been fortu- nate to have a man the caliber of Mr. Lumpkin to depend on in times of support. He has totally sup- ported our athletic programs to the fullest. The essence of any person is his character, sense of responsibility, and fairness to all concerned. Mr. Lumpkin is on the top of this category. As my coach, principal, and friend. I have been fortunate to be associated with Gilbert Lumpkin for a number of years. You don’t say goodbye to this type of person. You say it has been and always will be an honor to be called a fnend of Gilbert Lump- “Mr. Lumpkin is one of the most dedicated and conscientious edu- cators that I have known. He has a true concern for students. Mr. Lumpkin is a very fair and warm person when evaluating others. C-- Even when burdened with work, a familiar welcome awaits anyone entering his office. Ross’ Boss Steps Down To an outsider, he would have appeared to be iust another working man. driving a van to his job. daily wearing a coat and tie, and lacking a “the buck stops here sign on his desk. However, the occupants of Sterling thought differently. Some considered him the voice of morning announcements; others regarded him as the “sergeant of Sterling. always ready to defend the school's honor. In any case, he was on hand at every event from freshman orientation to the senior chicken fry. Aside from his duties as an administrator and educator, his jobs included being a chaperone at the senior prom, a stands-based cheerleader at athletic competitions, and an emcee at banquets and other special occasions. I After five years. 5.000 students, and hundreds of letdowns and successes. Mr. Gilbert Lumpkin has relinquished his service as principal. As a teacher, coach, and administrator, he has served the GCC1SD for twenty-two years. Consultation among principals does not always occur in the top administrator’s office. Mr. Lump- kin finds a spare moment to confer with Mr. M. F. Harmon and Mr. Richard Bethell in the cafeteria. Ooting 295 top to bottom: Diane Estes, (Student Life); Pam Duke.

About 290 pages. 1500 pictures, and what now seems an eternity of hours ago, we began our work on this pictoral history of lives. It wasn’t easy to get that last club to finally turn in its page after months of pleading or to make time for a deadline when there wasn’t a moment to spare. Often our cramped room beneath the stairs seemed to be as crowded as the parking lot. Some days we all resolved to buy a take-a-num- ber machine in hopes of getting in a word with our sponsor before class was over. At times, however, the room seemed to be a second home as we all shared the benefits and misgivings of an annual staff. Without the contributions of the following people and organizations, the production of the Governor would have been like trying to appease the rivalry between the Rangers and crosstown rival Lee — impossible. We would like to express our gratitude to: — Provine Studios for taking individual and faculty pictures — D.E. students and Mrs. Marybeth Holt for selling advertisements — Mr. Jim Boone for his athletic and club group pictures — The librarians for allowing us to use their audio-visual room as a darkroom — Mr. D-Eon Priest of Taylor Publishing for advising and consulting with us — The Sentinel staff for sharing information — The Baytown Sun’s Mike Hallmark, Mike Mann, and Keith Thompson for supplying sports photos and information — All the photographers who contributed their time as well as their work to lighten our labor load — The drama department’s light crew for assisting with our sales assembly — Mr. Clyde Messiah for. providing audio equipment at the assembly — Club and organization sponsors who coop- erated by submitting news and pictures — Mr. Gilbert Lumpkin for believing in us as a group to produce this 1978 Governor — And finally to our sponsor Miss Barbara Sultis for going above and beyond the call of duty as teacher to a bunch of bananas. imi 296 doting
