Yet, it seemed that nothing was sacred to the composers of last summer’s House Bills 72 and 246. The traditionally sports- minded schools of Texas suddenly found themselves cast into a sea of seemingly-stiffer academic re- 3uirements, and this school was efinitely no exception. Potential athletes had some decisions to make before their season began. Because of a difference in the grading system, and the fact that an athlete’s eligibility must be determined seven days before competition, athletes found themselves hitting the books in- stead of the tackling sleds. Adam Henry, a senior, said, “It was just more important to me to make the grades than to make the team, so I didn’t par- ticipate this year.’’ Others, such as Lesle Holmes, a volleyball player, said, “I enjoy my sport, and I found that even though I had to make some sacrifices, I could still play and do well in school.” Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, commented, “House Bill 72 makes one very interesting allowance. If a student enrolled in an enriched course is not eligible to play because of grades, the school ad- ministrators may overrule that in- eligibility. Maybe this will give incen- tives to students who participate in sports to go ahead and try the tougher academic courses,” he added. it's the little things opening The NdMiNtant principal'� office may be helpful in many ways as Anne Mitchell, a senior, waits as the student assis- tant, Toni Shafer, attempts to get for a freshman an early dismissal.

Section 21,920 EXTRACUR RICULAR ACTIVITIES, (a) The State Board of Education by- rule shall limit participation in and practice for extracurricular activities during the school day and school week. The rules shall, to the extent possible, preserve the school day for academic ac- tivities without interruption for extracurricular activities. In scheduling those activities and practices, a district must comply with the rules of the board. opening 3 it's the little things Loud color� and even louder sounds fill the common� dur- ing the Howdy Dance September 8.

It starts, usually, at the beginning of the year with the freshman Howdy Dance, continues on through football season with Homecoming and the bonfire, and ends each year with the Prom, which seniors raise money for by holding their Chicken Fry. Pep rallies dot the calendar in between dreary Mondays and Friday nights’ football games. And, since the beginning of the school’s history, it has been as such. However, this year the Texas legislators saw fit to put student bodies such as this one on quite a strict academic diet. Few days were to be allowed for fund raisers, such as the Chicken Fry, and traditions such as the Homecoming bonfire preparations. Students who played sports had to count how many school business days they had left carefully, so as to get credit in all courses. These small reduc- tions began a student uproar at first, a hungry cry for tradition. Now only time would tell if these “little things” would improve students in the classroom, or if they would cause a starvation in the stu- dent body.

Culp. it's the little things C t uddenly the first day of high school ap- proached and the freshmen wondered nervously how their lives would change. They heard how the Texas government and a man named H. Ross Perot were revising the education system, and some began to worry. One incoming freshman, Carol Radle, said, “I’m wor- ried that I won’t be able to go through four years of Stars. I guess I’ll just get credit for two years.’’ Upperclassmen voiced their fears, also. Jimmy Shaw, a senior, said, “I’m a little unsure of this new grading system; it was hard enough to make the grades before.

Little things, from picking up attendance cards to getting I.D.’s made or voting for Student Council of- ficers, helped to pass the days. Pep rallies, hall decorating contests, and “special weeks,” such as those of Homecoming and Lee Week, promoted school spirit tremendously. And, at the end of the school day, everyone could breathe a heavy sigh of relief as the three o’clock bell rang, proving that even the little things made a huge impact on our everyday lives. Being without a driver’ license or a vehicle can mean a lot of waiting to some students. Kathleen Lemelle is one of the many who must wait for her ride after the 3 p.m. dismissal bell. Photo by R.

Over the summer we decided to form n group of senior guys to help the cheerleaders promote metre spirit during the pep rallies and at the games. Photo by R. Flowers. It seems that even the most routine of rituals are capable of being changed. This was demonstrated as the pep rallies experienced a few changes of their own. Although there were also afternoon pep rallies last year, this year they were moved from between fifth and sixth periods to the end of sixth. “Having afternoon pep rallies is somewhat of an upset. I get out of school at 2:00 and usually don’t get to at- tend them,” Lisa Gregory, senior, stated. Lisa was among many juniors and seniors who got out early. The seniors did not let the empty spaces in the bleachers during the afternoon pep rallies prevent them from winning the spirit stick four out of the beginning six competitions. Another change was in how the spirit stick was awarded. Before, the school song was sung after the deserving class won the stick; now the song is included in competition. According to Mrs. Janie Christian, junior assistant principal, “The change came about for many reasons, but basically to encourage everyone to sing the school song.” pep rallies During the afternoon pep rally before the game against Deer Pork, the R.O.T.C.

A fiery pep rally had been held in the commons area before school, and almost everyone was ready for the impending game. Mrs. Janie Christian came over the loudspeaker and said, “... We realize that everyone is excited about tonight’s game, but we must remember that today is a regular school day. Thank you.” A couple of groans were heard, but then everyone got down to business. When the bell rang dur- ing third period, dismiss- ing the band, Stars and football players, many students waited eagerly to hear the familiar Lee- Week sound of the band and Stars marching down the halls to get people out of class. However the wait was in vain, because the band simply waited in the Winnie Brown gym for everyone else to get there. “This was disappointing,” said LaDonna Dixon, a senior. “This was the first year that I hadn’t been in Stars, and I was looking forward to marching down the halls with everyone, as had been the tradition.

After numerous cheers Ronnie Kluch, a former coach, made his annual moving speech, proving that some traditions could be kept sacred. After the cheers were over and the seniors had walked away with the spirit stick, the crowd in the gym cleared as students returned to class. Excited, nervous chatter went on amongst many people, discussing the game that night, which would be won 21 to 16. and songs, Mr. At the end of the week, Patty McGill, a senior Star and former band member, summed up most of it by saying, “Traditions are an important part of this week, and House Bill 72 crushed the life out of most of them. Yet, we compensated well, and, hopefully, we created some new traditions that won’t get in the way of the academic part of our lives. The week went very well.” 14 lee week As n tremendous show of spirit, Priri cipal Ed Wachtel gets down on the field and leads the entire home crowd in the competition yell. Photo by L. Penn.

Sleep- ing eyes were being rubbed wide awake and brought into a new day. Peaceful was the morning of August 27, or at least it was until 7:30. It was at this time that the commons started buzzing with echoes of ac- tivity on the first school day. This echo was everything but small when compared to the space which would soon house over 2,500 students, wild pep rallies, Lee Week ac- tivities, the Homecoming Dance and the everyday activities of active teenagers. It was this type of excitement which made the commons an all too uncommon place. This area was busiest in the morning before school. Erie Rasmussen said, “There were five dif- ferent types of people who dwelled there. There were the sleepers, talkers, homework doers, the dreaded primpers and the early morning zombies. It was the primpers who really scared me. ‘Oh my gosh — my HAIR. I need to fix it!’ ” One activity which hap- pened in the commons were the dances, including the traditional Howdy and Homecoming dances. “Homecoming was a blast,” commented Chris Sanders. “The commons seemed like a whole dif- ferent place when there’s a dance there,” Chris said. Adding «pice to life in the commons, Lisa Brewer und Allison Coonce listen to music during band practice. The commons is used by many organiza- tions. like the band. Stars, twirlers and J.R.A.’s.

To be able to sit in the stu- dent section during football gomes, to attend other school functions or to check out a book from the library, students use their I.D.'s that were taken during lunch in the commons.

Sometimes doing the same things over and over again tended to get boring, as senior Toni Shafer said, “I’m tired of doing the same things everyday. My daily routine consists of getting up in the morning, going to school and then go- ing to work.” “School just gets so bor- ing. I walk the same way to my classes everyday and it gets so monotonous,” Goy Oparakum, a senior, stated. “It’s nice when there is a fire drill, the electricity goes out or when anything unex- pected happens. It seems to break some of the monotony,” she concluded. Getting up earlier or later than normal affects the rest of my day. It doesn’t seem to go right and I feel awkward,” sophomore Greg Jacobs commented, explaining that changes in his schedule affected the whole day. “Pep rallies, ad- visory classes and shorten- ed periods also mess up my timing,” Greg concluded. Some people did not mind having certain routines, as senior Vicky Acosta explained, “I like having a schedule that I can count on. It may get boring at times, but usually, I know what I will be doing at a certain time.” 1 Waiting for his time to use the o putcr.

However, the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Kristi Viafore, remained the same. Activities began on Thursday, when the band held its annual chili sup- per. Afterwards, there was to be a car decorating con- test, suggested by Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, although it was cancelled due to lack of participation. The newest school tradi- tion, the burning of the giant “R,” was held (ex- plained in detail on page 184). In the past, the tradition had been a bon- fire, but House Bill 72, among other reasons, prevented the school from having one. Explaining that this turned out for the best, Lisa Wilkerson, a junior, said, “The weather would not have permitted a bon- fire, while the new alter- native let us have some kind of event.” On FTiday, students dressed up in costumes to “Spook the Mustangs.” Later that night came the Homecoming game, in which the Rangers defeated the North Shore Mustangs 56-14, and Kristi was crowned Queen during halftime. At 7:30 on Saturday night, the dance began. Some couples came just to get their pictures taken, while others just sat around or danced the night away. Senior Curt Landrum said, “This was my last Homecoming dance to attend, but I had a great time with my friends. I thought it was a big success.” Dancing to the music provided by Fantasy Unlimited are students Simon Terry and Mary Martin. The annual dance, sponsored by the Student Coun- cil. was held October 27. in the com- mons. Photo by A. Perkins. Preceding the Homecom- ing Dance, many couples go out to dinner.

As for Juanice La Bruce, she stated, “I like mine because it is a challenge. She was referring to her position at Foley’s, but she also had jobs at the health department, K-Mart and McDonald’s. She commented. I have not saved a cent. I spend my money on school activities, clothes, gas money and paying off debts.” Matt 0 e h 1 e r, who worked at Karmelkorn in the mall, stated, “I have worked there for three years and have enjoyed it most the time.

As senior Lisa Gregory said, “Sometimes I get ideas on styles from my favorite singers. I really like the bright colors, like Cyndi Lauper wears, but not in my hair.” The influence of movies was shown during Lee Week as students wore Goosebuster shirts and ins. Freshman Angie hafer explained, “I thought it was great the way the Goosebuster theme was used. I especial- ly liked the seniors ‘We ain’t afraid of no Goose’ sign.” There were more defi- nite signs of the impact of the music world, with people like Rick Spring- field, Tina Turner, Boy George and Culture Club, Bruce Springsteen and of course, Prince and his six sold-out shows in Houston. This made concert shirts the “norm.” As senior Mark Knight put it, “I really enjoy the concerts that I see, so I buy the shirts to remind me of the fun.” There were other fash- ions seen around the school as mini skirts reappeared, pumps became a style, striped and faded blue jeans were worn, and neon shirts glowed. Anthony Castelluzzo, freshman, stated, “I liked seeing the girls in the mini skirts, but some of the bright colors nearly blinded me.” Though being fnahion- conacious was on the minds of students, Mrs. Brosgaard and Mrs. Gillum display their styles while walking down the hall with Rhonda Gillum, sophomore, during the Open House held in October.

They must possess leadership ability, productivity, courage and dignity. The students chosen for this honor were elected not by their peers, but by faculty and administrators. Janna Capps said, “I was really honored to hear that I had been chosen as a citizen. I’m glad that I could have made that much of an impression here.” The other students had many positive things to say about the school. Allen Wachtel commented, “In my time here. I’ve learned how to get my priorities straight and take things one step at a time.” Melissa Copeland’s ma- jor achievement in her four years here was summed up in one word: Friendships. “I have built meaningful relationships with both students and teachers here,’ said Kysa Anderson, whose favorite teacher was Ms. Clydette Messiah. Randy Barrios and Creg Istre both had the same ad- vice for the four years that entering freshmen would spend here. They said, “Expect the unexpected!” Allen Russell stated simply, “Mostly, I’ve gain- ed my fair share of Ranger Pride.” Allison Smith summed up the sentiments of each of these students, however, when he commented, Achievements are pretty hard to measure, but I be- lieve my greatest one will come when I graduate!” 26 sterling citizens Candidates such as Allen Wachtel, Allison Smith, Tif- fany Arnett and Donovan Forbes are also to exhibit courage, dignity and a will- ingness to succeed in any task.

The evident organ- ization of the assembly was made possible by the hard work of all involved, which was recognized when Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, commented, “This is one of the finest assemblies I’ve ever at- tended in a high school.” Both first and second assemblies carried on the traditional fashion of presenting Governor and First Lady and their court. As each couple was presented, a selected few performed various songs. “The long practice hours paid off because it gave me confidence on stage,” replied Tony Estes, who sang Stuck On You. “I thought everyone did his best.” A touch of musical variety was added when guitar player Bryan Roy accompanied Marlon Lit- tlejohn as he sang Dust in the Wind. The piano, played by Mrs. Becky Kinder, accompanied the other singers. A duet, by Ted Wiggins and Robyn Wyatt, was a feature that was introduced this year. My favorite part of the production was seeing what everyone wore. The girls wore really pretty for- mats, and the guys were decked out in suits. They looked nice,” said Charisma Berry. Kristi, who was elected First Lady, commented, “It’s quite an honor to be elected for this position, so, needless to say, I was extremely happy. I've been a member of this court for the past three years, but this was definitely the best!” With verses from the sons. The Rose.

She con- tinued, “In this election, it’s not a contest of who’s the best looking.” Pat Baker, who graduated with the senior class, was voted as a junior class favorite earlier in the year.

It’s an honor though.” The students were photographed at Ron Craft Chevrolet on North Main. Each class got to choose the car they wanted to be photo- graphed with, the seniors having first choice.

Yet, each club was begun because a few people had an idea and similar interests which could be defined and car- ried out. However, it took individuals to get these clubs started, and then motivated into doing cer- tain projects. It took par- ticipants, working both together and independently, in order to make these larger bodies of government work. Thus, it was the little things that went into making each branch of the school work with the vitality that it exhibited. Capt. R. A. Corral of the R.O.T.C. congratulates Cadet Sgt.

P competing olicy considered “It will be a new incentive for the kids ” As hand members marched through football season — somewhat soggi- ly — and continued in step through the spring contest time, they discarded the field uniforms and ap- peared in new. formal at- tire. fulfilling the spectacle and setting the scene for a truly Sterling sight and sound show. Weeks of summer prac- tice for the season’s open- ing show were spent in vain as heavy downpours that Friday morning had left Alvin's field flooded. The situation repeated itself several times during the 10-week season, and eventually led to the U.I.L. marching contest. “We were disap- pointed. said Suzanna Strangmeier. about the se- cond division rating received, but most thought t hey had done a great job. Mr. Irby Martin, director, explained. “How could the judges have known that we had to practice indoors and on every available inch of concrete the week before the contest due to rain? Following this, the marching band became the concert bands. Marching uniforms were cast aside and were replac- ed with the newly purchas- ed black gowns and tux- edos. The symphonic, con- cert and varsity bands began working on contest pieces. The arrival of spring also meant all-district, all-region and all-state band try-outs and solo and ensemble contest. Of course, the reward for a year’s worth of hard work was the annual trip. The members and the Band Parent’s Assocation raised over $40 thousand for the trip to St. Louis by selling school mugs, Christmas cookie tins, G o 1 d - C books and Goosebuster t-shirts. They also held a chili supper and an oyster fry. Pressure on both students and teachers con- cerning classroom attend- ance made future trips doubtful. About the situa- tion. Mr. Martin replied, “The board is presently considering sending only first division bands on trips. It will be a new in- centive for the kids.

Photo by R. Corral. An organization such as R.O.T.C. usually receives coverage in either school publications or local newspapers. This year, however, the group was featured in The Chief, the magazine of the Chief Petty Officers Association describing its trip to Washington, D.C. Capt. R. A. Corral said, “The students were able to see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the sunset parade at the Marine Bar- racks while they were in Washington.” Washington was not the only place the members went. They attended com- petitive events in New Braunfels and Nat- chitoches, La., during the year. As a whole the group did well in competition, and individually they were also to be commended. “On December 3, the unit received first place in a competition held at Southwestern State Univer- sity in Louisiana,” said Capt. Robert Corral. In New Braunfels, February 9, the Rifle Team, Color Guard, Silent Drill Team and Devil Dolls received 13 trophies. “This set a record for the number of trophies won by a single school in one competition,” Capt. Corral concluded. R.O.T.C.: Freshmen: A. Allen, T. Allerson. M. Bradford. R. Brown, T. Carter, A. Cnstelluzzo, S. Chenier, R. Cook, G. Duran, L. Pobuh, J. Fontaine. K. Franklin, A. George, M.

However, dampened spirits were at times, it in no way hampered the drill team’s performances throughout the year. Performances were what the 200-plus member organization was all about but, at various times, the girls became magazine salespeople, Christmas package wrappers, spaghet- ti supper ticket sellers and flea marketeers. Explained Ms. Therese Norton, direc- tor, “In order for us to fly to Dallas as part of our yearly trip, we had to raise lots of funds and this is how we chose to do it.” She said that the trip, taken April 26-28, included performing at the Six Flags Over Texas Festival. The girls stayed at the Registry Hotel, which according to Ms. Norton, was “the nicest hotel I’ve ever been in!” Other competitions in- cluded the Friendswood regional contest (where they won Sweepstakes and Best Jazz and Best Prop awards), and the Tourna- ment of Champions state In front of her own reflection in the mirrored Star Room, Elissa Ellia, major of drums, works on a multipercussion cadence with snare drummer Julie Cr tss, Frances Corder, Molly McCaffer- ty.

She added that after seven years with the same uniform, “It was time for a change.” The changes, though, were integrated into tried and true (Sterling) blue traditions. Soon after school started, the girls won the first place trophy for their performance in the Highlands Parade, and then took the identical award during the Baytown Christmas Parade. “It makes us feel good to be recognized because then we know we are doing something right,” the direc- tor said. Other traditional ac- tivities included the Star Ball, a stage show and a community luncheon that helped frame the year with both new and old happen- ings. “Things turned out well,” Ms. Norton said. “Considering how the year started, we weathered the storm well.” So well, in fact, that of all the five halftime shows prepared, only four were actually performed. “We already have one show ready to go for next year!” Ms. Norton concluded. 44 star At the Tournament of Champions state content.

The purpose of a year- book is to tell the changes that occur from year to year. Internally, major changes took place within the Governor staff that were designed to keep up with the changing times. The biggest change was the concept of a spring yearbook, published in May instead of the traditional yearbook published in the fall. Mr. Patrick Reilly, ad- viser, and Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, discussed the possibilities of changing formats over the past three years. Mr. Reilly explained, “The pros outweighed the cons and we decided the time was right.” When these changes were revealed in the first issue of The Sentinel, Russell Flowers said, “The biggest complaint was the fact that spring activities would not be included. They will be in a supplement, though.” This 32-page addition, which will be issued in September and includes ail spring activities, has a gummed edge and can lx laced permanently in tlx ack of the book. “In tb fall, everything will bt there,” Russell said. Dana Schweers, editor, said, “The biggest chan� that affected me was the early deadlines we had to meet. We recruited most o ‘ the people from the newspaper group to help with the Governor. Afte: the final deadline was me', though, the Sentinel stafi regrouped, planned and pi. out another newspaper. Other changes within the group included the addition of freshmen. Also, the photography class was taught by Mr. Reilly. The gave interested photo? raphers a chance to become part of the Governor.

N.H.S. carried on the traditional selling of pro- grams at the home football games. Also, the members sold cookies and candy bars at different times throughout the year. The Student Council earned their money through school dances. The Howdy Dance was a way of making the incom- ing freshmen feel welcome. The Homecoming Dance honored Homecoming Queen, Kristi Viafore, and her court with the theme of “Up, Up. and Away .. For a time for sweethearts to be together, the council sponsored the annual Valentine’s Dance. Stu- dent Council also sold “Ranger Pride shirts to promote school spirit. Apart from financial projects, the Student Council sponsored a canned food drive. Students were asked to bring canned foods to be distributed by the council to families in need of food. Mr. John Gordon’s classes, for the second year, won a coke party for collecting the most cans. According to Mr. Terry Ryals, Stu- dent Council sponsor, “This latest activity was a success.

The “particulars” started with Carol Barnwell who was the first Sterling stu- dent in 10 years to make the All-State Choir. On her way to her fourth place position, she competed in region with four other Sterling students, then advanced to area along with Deena Brodsgaard (who was selected as an alternate). “All-State Choir — what a killer feeling! It’s a great payoff after you’ve worked so hard,” Carol said. “Believe me, you don’t just sit back and let luck pull you through. It takes lots of sweat ana hard sacrifice, but it’s worth every single minute.” She added that her performance with the All-State Choir was January 30-February 3. Generally speaking, the Meistersingers celebrated the Christmas season by singing at Herman Hospital and various area banks. Fund-raisers, such as sell- ing home products, jewelry (with the assistance of Mrs. Claire Bays, D.E.C.A., sponsor) and a talent show May 6 all went toward the group’s annual trip, taken after school was out in June. About the year, Mrs. Xina Stone, sponsor ex- plained, “Yes, this has been one of the best years I have had teaching. But,” she concluded, for the year to be a success, we had to eat, drink, sleep and think number one!” Region choir members Deena Brodsgaard. Carol Barnwell. Ted Wiggins, Tony Estes, Craig Gross and Charles Conrad practice for the region choir concert held December 10. From these six students, Carol and Deena advanced to Area and from there.

She con- tinued, “We attended con- tests, as usual, but one of our biggest projects would have to have been playing for the Open House at the beginning of the year.” Ingrid was one of quite a few students who devoted their time and skill to or- chestra. This year, the group consisted of members that participated in various activities in- volving music. “I think our orchestra trip was better this year,” said senior Artis Cochran. “We had a great time.” The group performed at Open House October 2 in the Commons area.

All was to benefit a joint con- vention for Key Club and Keywanette members. “The girls who chose to be in the Keywanettes ai great,” explained Mi Kristi Krueger who wei on to say, “It makes n proud to be their sponsi r The Keywanettes als helped the Key Club i every aspect, from pickin up election signs to sellia candy. “Since all Keywanette are special, it was hard fo us to choose a Key Cld sweetheart, but after w voted, it was unanimei that Jana Alpha w destined to be the chow one,” said Bryan Mill� t he Key Club president. “It is with no doubt thl the Key Club anj Keywanettes do not wod as separates, but as one,' stated Chris Callender. 54 key club, keywunettes When will this Iw over? wonder� Ms. Kristi Krueger while helping Anne Robins supervise Valentine’s picture which lasted all three lunches February 14.

We sold twice as many mums and bouton- nieres,” said Gina Lambert, president of the J.R.A.’s. “We are a lot big- ger and a lot more organiz- ed,” added Mrs. Carolyn Tiner, Anchor Club sponsor. J.R.A. activities includ- ed teacher secret pals, a banquet and operating the concession stand at basketball games. “Unlike last year, we had a poster party every Monday night,” commentd Tonya Thurman. “The poster parties were hilarious, and I liked working in the con- cession stand,” added Karla Hauser. Each J.R.A. was assign- ed a football player to sup- port throughout the season. Mark Cowen, a football player, said. I en- joyed having the support of somebody during the season, and I especially liked having my locker decorated.” Anchor Club par- ticipated in many projects such as the Special Olym- pics, visiting the Neal Day Care Center, taking care of the memorial flower bed and organizing Students Against Drunk Driving (S.A.D.D.). “It’s a great feeling helping others,” said Mrs. Tiner. ‘‘Organizing S.A.D.D. was probably the most outstanding achieve- ment this year,” said Jackie Bowles. j.r.n's, nnchor club 57 service ommunity-minded “The members really enjoy the fellowship ” Two Internet Club members.

Interact and Octagon Clubs provided services to both the school and com- munity through various fund-raisers and projects. During the football season, the Octagon Club helped the cheerleaders with their activities at foot- ball games and special events, such as the burning -“R.” As the holiday season ap- proached, both clubs helped the less fortunate in Baytown. Interact helped the community by distributing turkeys and canned foods to people who didn’t have enough. Octagon worked with the Optimist Club of Baytown selling Christmas trees to raise money for the Baytown Youth Program. Interact combined fun with helping others when its members participated in a volleyball tournament at Chquipinn School to pro- vide Christmas gifts to children who would prob- ably go without. During the spring, the clubs planned more proj- ects. Octagon had its oyster fry and Interact raffled off tickets to the George Strait Concert at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Interact worked closely with the Rotary Club of Baytown and sent two In- teract members to the weekly Rotary Club lun- cheon. Mr. Duane Dillion, Interact sponsor, said, “The members really enjoy the fellowship.” The Octagon Club also participates in a beautifica- tion program. Mr. David Aiken, Octagon sponsor, ex- plained. “We just pick a park and get together and clean it up.” Traditionally the Student Council seta up and decorates the annual Christmas tree in the commons, but the task of taking the tree down falls to the Octagon Club.

The French and Ger- man Clubs captivated the attention of many students wanting to learn more about the culture of the language which they were studying. Some students joined the clubs because they believed it would give them knowledge helpful in the future. Scott Liska, a senior, said, “Being president of the French Club, I feel, will help me in the future with leadership abilities.” Other students, such as German student Donna Kent, said, “I had to face a crowd at the contest at Stephen F. Austin, so I believe the club has helped me perform in front of people a little better.” The clubs held special activities, such as the French Club’s annual crepe sale, a carolling trip to Allenbrook Nursing Home and the Foreign Language contest men- tioned earlier. “The initiation day went well,” said David Elmore. The French Club members had to dress in red, white and blue, like French flags, and sing Farre-Jacques to old members. The German Club members dressed in black plastic bags and wore dunce caps. Margarita Morrano, a French member, said, “It was an outstanding year. I’m glad I was a part of the club.” French Club: (Front) Rene Hebert. Susan Davis.

Or then again, maybe not ... but the fact remains that you did need a foreign language to enjoy your vacation as such, and Spanish and Latin clubs helped you in that endeavor. The Spanish students attended a foreign language festival at Stephen F. Austin Univer- sity in Nacogdoches. Some of the Latin students went to the Latin convention held March 1-2, and the Area Latin Convention of which they placed fifth overall. Reggie Tyler, two-year Spanish student sug- gested, “Because of its vast use in the area, I thought it might be advan- tageous and fun to learn Spanish.” Latin, however, seemed to be on the more intellec- tual side. “The Latin roots of our English language help me expand and do well with the English vocabulary,” explained Jenny Keeton. To sum up the busy events of Spanish and Latin students and club members, Don Weaks, third-year member of Spanish put it quite frank- ly, “There's never a dull moment.” 62 Spanish club.

Putting on a perfor- mance, whether it was im- promptu, a heated debate •ession or acting out .something on stage, in- terested students were able to show their best before a public audience. Mr. Bryan Borah, debate sponsor, said that the schedule was expand- ed in order to accom- modate the large number of novice cross- examination debators. With 24 students in 12 teams, he said, “The schedule was also longer in order to allow our students more opportunities to qualify for the State Texas Forensic league Meet.” “By the year’s end,” he emphasized, “our students will have competed in 400 preliminary rounds of debate. This translates in- to over 500 total hours of om petition.” No doubt, while the debators where preparing for the upcoming events, so were those involved in drama. With the fall pro- duction running November 30-December 2, Vicki Acosta exclaimed, “Drama Lives!” This was in the form of Sugar, a musical based on the com- edy Some Like It Hot. “I like the comedy because I get to be the big ham that I really am,” Matt Oehler stated humorously. Next on the agenda was work on their annual U.I.L. contest material. This was their top priority until March 27, the district tournament at Deer Park, where a cutting from The Wind in the Willows was presented. This was also the spring production, but with all the acts performed. These three group were also involved in the Sterl- ing Literary meet where, in addition to helping run the annual event, some also won awards.

C.A. and G.S.L. all held and maintained. While Ranger Writers worked together to pro- duce the second volume of the literary magazine, Piece of Mind, F.C.A. members worked to raise money to donate to a boyscout troop and G.S.L. members worked to pro- mote school spirit. They traded yearbooks with G. S.L. members of the op- posing school before each football game. Brian Remkes, vice president of F.C.A. ex- plained, “I like the fellowship and the unique togetherness I get from F.C.A. I decided to join because I felt that I would encounter many obstacles and would need a good Christian faith to conquer them.” Ranger Writers held a writing contest to en- courage students to sub- mit their entries of essays, poetry and short stories to the magazine. Prizes were awarded to the top win- ners of each category. In an attempt to further encourage students to join Ranger Writers, Beth Northcutt said. “It’s a great creative club. You learn as you work. More people should get involved in it; they would get so much more out of it.” ‘‘I decided to be in G.S.L. because of my desire to be a good sport- sman and to promote it,” G.S.L. member Kysa Anderson said. She con- cluded by saying, “I also enjoy meeting the repre- sentatives from other schools.” Ranger Writers: (front) Mr. Gary Sedlacek. sponsor; Tina Cnxtelluzzo.secretary; Dean Cross, vice president.

The well- known motto “C.S.U. wants You”, really served its purpose while bringing in 27 new members for a total of 83 members this year. “I can remember when there were only four peo- ple meeting with me,” commented Mrs. Jeannie Wolf, sponsor. “Now we have to meet in the auditorium because of our size. That’s a real bless- ing.” The club met every Thursday morning for fellowship and listened to messages from youth ministers from around Baytown and surrounding areas. “I like seeing my friends before school and being able to fellowship with others. It makes the day seem to go by quicker,” stated freshman Donna Gilbreth. This year was a first for C.S.U. in many ways. The members and sponsors performed the musical, Dreamer, January 26. Also, during the Christmas holidays, C.S.U. members went to area hospitals and delivered gifts to children who would not be able to go home for the holidays. Fund-raisers, such as selling candy and stuffed animals, were held twice. The money from these projects went to pay for costumes in the musical and to buy tickets for a contemporary Christian concert that the club at- tended as a whole. “C.S.U. has really been an important part of my life these past four years, said senior Tina L. Robin- son. “It’s a place where 1 can have fellowship with other Christians without having to worry if I’m good enough or smart enough.” cj.u. 69 interest Collecting funds as part of the artistic process .Vis.

The Art Club has been helping students gain experience and knowledge for nine years. The Mock Trial Club, however, has been in existence for three years, but featured this year in the Governor for the first time. Mr. Mark Martin, spon- sor of the new club, said, “Mock Trial competition blends the best of drama, law and speech into a per- formance contest.” Debbie Reid, senior member, explained, “My goal in life is to be a cor- porate lawyer, and this gives me an opportunity to see what I am getting myself into.” Ultimately the team became district champions, despite the fact that this was the only team in the district. This cleared the way to regional competition. Competition also took place with the student art- ist. In January, Art Club took the “Best of Show” honors at the Rodeo Art Contest, while several other students were chosen to ex- hibit their work as part of the Scholastic Honor Con- test sponsored by the Houston Post and Palais Royal. Mrs. Joy Woods, sponsor, concluded, I think that anything a person does can be rewarding, but it depends on the person’s involvement.” Art Club: (Front) .Suzanne Morris, I-eala Navarre.

The three organiza- tions provided students with an education that could onlv be provided by on-the-job training. D.E.C.A. students held part time jobs as well as participating in club ac- tivities. Nora Childress stated, “I enjoyed the mini contests in LaMarque. You get the opportunity to meet with other D.E. students and compete in your field of work.” D.E. students also com- peted in Galveston and ended the year with a trip to Dallas for competition. I.C.T. members were in- volved in the Christmas food drive and construc- tion of book tables for the boys restrooms on campus. The club emphasized in- dividual projects rather than group projects because of lack of time together. Mr. Gly n Turner, sponsor, re- marked. “It’s not only dif- ficult for field trips in I.C.T. but group meetings are difficult also because of the varied hours of work that members keep. Having more stabilized working hours were the seniors that participated in the Student Teacher- Aid Program. These members had the oppor- tunity to teach children from area elementary schools. In December they attended the theater presentation of Annie with their school children. Tiffany Arnett, senior, expressed the feelings of all her fellow future teachers when she said, “1 wanted to see if I could ef- f i c i e n 11 y work with elementary age children.” Mr. Glyn Turner, I.C.T. sponsor, is assisted by Russell Reid, club president, in iden- tifying the members in the group picture to be used in the annual.

Senior F.H.A. member Toni Shafer explained, “F.H.A. teaches you how to be part of a group and how to help others.” F.H.A. also gave students a sense of ac- complishment as Kim Wirtes, a three-year member, explained, “The different projects we were involved in always helped someone out.” On December 4, F.H.A. conducted a progressive dinner where donations with a $2 minimum were collected. The money for this project went to the Shelter for Battered Women. Other activities included a bike-a-thon, visits to a nursing home and nursery school, and a canned food drive during Thanksgiving. Freshman D’Ann Howard com- mented, “By getting in- volved in F.H.A., I had fun while helping others.” It gave me a good feel- ing,” said Robin Taylor, a H.E.R.O. member, after visiting The Daughters of British Empire retiring home in Highlands. “We decorated their halls for Christmas and learned a little about British history from the retirees.” Other H.E.R.O. in- volvements included par- ticipation in a Youth Against Cancer seminar. This was held at Rice University in November. “The speeches taught us about cancer and its preventions. I found it in- teresting,” commented senior Linda Bonnett.

These letters stood for Future Farmers of America, and these students were studying the agriculture side of our country. “In F.F.A., participants not only learned in the classroom, but they also learned by doing. Students raised animals for judging and auctions in both the Galveston fair, San An- tonio fair, and the Baytown Youth Livestock Show and Rodeo. The organization also held a Blue and Gold sausage sale. “The funds we raised were used for go- ing to the shows we at- tend,” stated Randy McCartney. In the classroom, students were taught topics such as parliamen- tary procedure, rice judg- ing, plant science, quiz team and creed contest. Most students agreed that they enjoyed F.F.A. as a subject. Kelly Pyle said, “F.F.A. was really fun. The thing I liked most was raising animals, and mostly, that is what the class is all about.” r.f.« 77 vocational Office Education Association: (front) Regina Roberson, Cindy Glad- den, Elizabeth Bergeron, Kellye Krauss, Tammy Carle.

Stephanie Phillips, president of Office Serv- ices said, The year went smoothly. We, as a group, prospered quite a bit. We helped produce the Baytown Educational Association’s telephone directories during the middle of the year which taught us quite a bit.” The club had a fund raiser to benefit its contest trips. Cinda Woods, treasurer for the club, said, “We made enough money to cover most of the expenses on the trips, and that was pretty important.” Data processing, ac- cording to instructor Mr. Richard Reboulet, had no fund raisers. “As for V.O.E)., members sold jewelry as a fund raiser, stated Mrs. Vicki Haberman. Mr. Lavon McKennev, the office services instruc- tor, said, “This has been a very rewarding year. My students began by working in the office on a rotating basis, in order to learn what office work is really like.” He concluded, “I feel like both the course and the club have had a very successful year.” Data Processing: Ray Her- nandez, Debra Powell, John Gillet, Ralph Matthews.

First year students in metal trades became acquainted «vith the beginning steps of welding and building with metal. Marcos Vargas stated, “We’re learning about open corner joints, right now. Later we hope to get into technical stuff.” Older students, such as senior Dawson Moyers, worked on more advanced proj- ects. Dawson added, “I en- joyed advanced projects.” Dawson said, “I enjoyed help building the giant ‘R’ for the Homecoming fire.” Construction trades students worked on a two-year project, building a house which they will eventually sell. David Cornier stated, “I took this class because I enjoy work- ing with my hands.” Another student, Michale Purifey, said, “I think I speak for all of us when I say this class gives its students a lot of ex- perience in working with tools!” A similar class, building trades, taught students skills with wood. John Smith, one of the many students in this class, com- mented, “My favorite project during the year, even though it was one of the easiest, was the bird- house I built in early spring. Later on, we did some harder projects, but I enjoyed the birdhouse because it was the first I did.” “Building the giant 'R' took a lot of planning and effort. states Orido Ixipez.

Different clubs and organizations proved helpful to many students. Three of the clubs that taught students specific skills were auto mechanics, taught by Mr. Doug Trailor; auto body which was taught by Mr. Keith Mims; and meat processing, taught by Mr. Buddy Hooper.

It took a lot of work to get that done. Craig Sorrels, a meat processing student, talked about the course. He said, “We quality grade meat, cut meat and much more.

A lot of these reasons were associated with career interests and goals. Small engine repair stu- dent Jimmy Naranjo said, “It’s a good interesting field to go into, and I enjoy it.” Joey Merritt, another small engine repair stu- dent, said, “I look at it as preparation for a career after graduation.” Welding students were also of the same mind. “This is only my first year in welding, and it won’t be my last; I really enjoy this class, commented Ronnie Lee. Danny Fregia said, “I feel this is a good way to prepare for a job where I can make some pretty good money.” Machine shop students were destined to be career-oriented also.

Three vocational courses, cosmetology, hor- ticulture and electronics, provided students with the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of their potential life’s profession. “My course enables students to achieve their acquired hours, skill and knowledge in order to pass the cosmetology examina- tion administered by the state. “The main goal of the students is to become licensed in the cosme- tology profession upon graduation,” said Mrs. Reta Luker, cosmetology instructor. The girls sold many items such as stuffed animals, cookies and can- dy in order to keep the program running smoothly. The money went to purchase new dryers, equipment for their stations, and V.I.C.A. officer jackets. The student com- peted in district V.I.C.A. contests in March. After this, the girls went to state contest in Dallas. Horticulture students also competed in a number of contests. They went to Smiley High School, where they did well, and were able to progress to state contest at Texas A M. During the class time, students got to landscape houses, worked in flower beds, gardens and greenhouses. Electronics students also did many things, working with their hands.

However it took more than aching muscles and long prac- tices to make the grade. An athlete, according to House Bill 72, should be able to perform as well in the classroom as on the playing field. Those who couldn’t make the grades, simp- ly didn’t get the opportunity to perform. Every hour spent in practice, every fiber strained to the limit time after time, every minute spent studying for that test that would mean either playing the next week or not all added up and became a composite familiar to the sports scene.

The Rangers started the season off in style by tying the 3 rated LaPorte Bulldogs in a scrimmage, and by winning all three non-district games against Alvin, Port Arthur, and Port Neches. Contrary to the popular belief of the press, Sterling was not to go into the season winning every game. Instead, the Rangers met defeat with the opening district game against the Sam Rayburn Texans. Coach Bill Bundy com- mented, “We were expect- Chris Rhoden dazzles a potential tackier with an acrobatic leap through the air while Greg Ellis. � 46. prepares to block a Rayburn defensive lineman.

The outlook for the rest of the season looked hazy, until the Rangers won the following four district (continued, page 93) Michael Maxey demonstrates the style of a running bock os he looks for an open hole on a sweep against the Sam Rayburn Texans.

However, after a hard fought game, the Rangers fell short of victory. Most major football polls picked the Rangers as the favorite for the title of district champions.

We wanted to give Coach Bargainer 100 percent.” Denise was another teammate who was named to the second All-District team, and Rhonda Singleton, a junior, was honored with a position on the first All-District team. Rhonda said, “I’ve enjoyed being a working part of the team; I’m really looking forward to my senior year!” Ms. Bargainer conclud- ed, “I’m proud of my team.

According to Coach Drew Dunlap, “It takes a ‘special’ type of person to run in cross country.” He was referring to the boys varsity cross country team, which placed third in district this season. Frank McKay, a senior who spent four years on the team, placed 19th overall in district his final year. At the end of the season Frank jokingly said, “It’s comforting to know that while we’re run- ning our guts out in the cold, wet or hot weather, others aren't.” Right behind Frank, Todd Stewart placed 20th in district. As an after- thought Todd Stewart, another senior com- mented, “I enjoy cross country, but I became mentally and physically burned out towards the end of the season.” Following close behind, Albert Gordon, a junior, said, “I think running cross country was worth everything, and I’m look- ing forward to the upcom- ing season.” The boys coach, Mr. Dunlap, felt “These guys deserve a lot of credit for running as much as they have to in order to win.” On a somewhat humorous note, Todd Stewart concluded, “The season was long, but it would have been much longer, if we hadn’t had the support we did, even if it was kind of lacking in quantity.

They advanced to the play-offs but were stopped by Beaumont Westbrook. During the pre-season, the team won two tour- naments, at the Clear Creek and LaPorte Tour- nament. The Rangers had also placed third in the Lee College Classic. Coach Woody Walker com- mented that the team had an excellent preseason, en- ding with a record of 15-3. Entering the district season, the Rangers had a string of six wins that was only broken by a close Dobie loss, the Rangers recovered with five wins, but then they met Pasadena. In the fourth period, the Rangers were unable to score a single point while Pasadena scored 15 points to win. “I’ve never been in a situation like that before,” said Coach Walker. “We had no offense whatsoever. But we had no defense, either.” After this defeat, the Rangers played Dobie again in a close game that came out in favor of the Rangers. The boys ended district play with a record of 12-2 and advanced to bi-district play. The Rangers played Clear Lake in their bi- district game. They emerged the victors after double-overtime, 68-65. They advanced to the area playoffs against Beaumont Westbrook but were defeated 49-69. Overall the Rangers had more wins than losses. Coach Walker explained the team’s strengths, “This year’s team is ex- erienced and well- alanced in terms of team- work, skill and ability.” Robbie Jennise jump� for a rebound against South Houston to add to his already high rebound record.

Other players, such as Bridgette Caesar and Karen Williams, were named to the district’s first team all-district and Tina Bond was elected to the district’s second team all-district. The team’s coach, Ms. Patti Rau, was also honored with a special ti- tle. She was elected 23-5A Coach of the Year after she completed the season. Under her guidance, the team broke a school record, and won 22 con- secutive games. Their overall record was 27 wins and two losses, including 14 undisputed district wins. Jody Manier, a junior player, commented, “Win- ning district was a goal we set, and we achieved it. The season was fantastic.” Phyllis added, “Our most emotional game was against Lee, but Angelton was the hardest when it came to skill. I can’t say that any of our games were really easy.” Ms. Rau concluded, “This year’s varsity was a talented, closely knit group of girls. I was ex- tremely proud to be associated with these young ladies.” During a practice section, Tina Bond concentrate on her footwork against Bridgette Caesar as Coach Patti Rau and Phyllis Aswell stand nearby and watch the action.

The freshman teams captured first and third places, while the sophomore and junior var- sity teams received second place. “Playing against North Shore was the roughest game because we had to play in a mud bowl,” said Uoug Schmidt, J.V. defen- sive end. “It was raining, the referees were 20 minutes late and the mos- quitoes were terrible,” added Jacque Torres, J.V. tackle. “But of course, that’s J.V. ball,” as Bobby Goppfarth, guard, com- ically put it. According to Coach Mark Gilstrap, the sophomore team found that “they were well prepared throughout the season, but had an unex- pected loss against Dobie for the dist rict title.” The freshman blue team had a respectable season finishing in third place behind Dobie and Rayburn, while the silver team tied for first place with Rayburn. “The two freshman teams put out great effort to have a very successful season,” said Coach Sam Pratt.

For the freshman volleyball and basketball teams, it was a year of gaining ex- perience. For the J.V. basketball team, it was the season the members proved the worth of their experience. The freshman volleyball team earned second place in district. Ms. Janice Hilliard, coach, noted, “I knew we would not win district but I did feel that we would have a winning season.” The J.V. team ended the season in fifth place, Ms. Hilliard added. With a year’s experience under their belt, the J.V. basketball team members won a first place finish. The second round of district play was against Lee. Ms. Hilliard noted that it was the best game. Describing the action, she said, “We went into the game over confident because we had defeated them by 30 points before. We were down by one with three minutes left and four players on the floor had four fouls, but we pulled it off, 49-48!” The freshman team also described its game against Lee as the best but also the toughest, as the team lost. Angela Maxwell, team member said, “It was by far the most exciting game, even though we lost.” The freshman team ended the season in fourth place. Freshman Volleyball: (front) Dee Shivers.

The boys in the progression from either junior high to a high school or to a higher team, such as junior varsity, noted many differences this year. David Elmore, a sophomore player, said, “The biggest change that I’ve seen is that the game has gotten quicker. The moves are much faster. Eddie Redou added, “It’s gotten physical, too.” The boys played several difficult teams during the season. Bo Valentine, a junior varsity player, said, “Our hardest opponent would have to have been Clear Lake, but the fastest moving team was Rayburn. However, we took on each team with the attitude that they were going to be better than we are.” Dowen Sims summed up their seasons by saying, “We all learned that to play good basketball we have to discipline ourselves and be able to work with other people well. This season helped not only our game, but our personal lives, as well.” Freshman B: (front) David Greven- burgh. Jeremy Vasqucz. Tony Blaskey. David Salinas. Brent Spencer. (2) Byron Gray.

Paul Thorn con- cluded, “We worked hard all season, but Dobie was our best meet. Almost everyone was ‘up’ for it, and we all tried very hard.” “I enjoy running for myself, and a fine team like Ross S.

Adam Crick, a team member, said, “We worked really hard and we deserved to be district champs.” At the end of the season, Paul Gilbreath was named Most Valuable Player.

Other questions, involv- ing such matters as academic eligibility and the number of days missed also floated around right before first semester concluded. House Bill 72 also changed schedules. Entering freshmen had to adhere to certain re- quirements in order to graduate on certain levels. Seniors discovered that what they had signed up for as “government” was to be broken down into two semester courses, government and economics. Monumental though these changes seemed at first, even- tually adjustments were made. However small they may have been, it proved that it’s the little things — like that space be- tween 97 and 98 or 94 and 95 — that either added or subtracted from a grade. Mr .

Connie Johnston, a freshman, said, “I want to go into some field of medicine, so I took Latin to help me, because I’ll surely need to take it in college.” Five different languages were taught this year, and, due to the addition of many new teachers and tougher curriculum re- quirements, the foreign language classes were big- ger than ever. In French, students learned vocabulary first, then conjugation of verbs, making sentences and having oral conversations with each other. Scott Liska, president of the French club, said, “Taking French has made me realize how hard the English language really is.” Another foreign language taught and learn- ed was Spanish. In this class students learned by reading the language, sing- ing Spanish songs and par- ticipating in a game called “Total Immersion,” in which no English words could be spoken in a cer- tain time period. German students did worksheets and had classroom discussions about the culture and the language while learning as much as possible about the subject. Dave Zemkosky, a sophomore, explained, “I chose German because it sounded like an in- teresting language. I can use the language in college and if for some reason, I ever go to Germany, I won’t be totally confused.” Instruction time — not limited to just one period, five days a week - con- tinues after school as Mr. Helmuth Mayer questions those needing assistance about the conjugation of Ger- - - man verba.

Due to House Bill 72 many changes were made in academics. “Students entering high school this year had to earn three credits in math in order to fraduate, said Mr. Robert rancis, head of the math department. He also added, “Students in the college preparatory plan are re- quired to have one credit in computer science.” At the beginning of the year, many classes were overcrowded; so much so, that additional teachers were hired. New additions to the department were Ms. Janette Smith, Mr. Ray- mond Taylor and Mrs. Yolanda Wintell. Everybody had to solve The head of the math department.

Dana Schweers commented, “Actually the hardest part of the year though, was trying to force myself through the door the first day,” referring to her Algebra II class that she had to retake. Mrs. Laura Kellner, who was in charge of the math lab said, “Word problems are a big problem for students in algebra.” Twenty-one math classes were available, but sometimes prerequisites were required. Students were able to take anything from Fundamentals of Math to Probability and Statistics to Elementary Linear Algebra. math 117 challenges evels offer A a form of review the day before a physics teat.

They will be challenged many times to various levels of think- ing,” stated Mr. David Beltram, when describing the benefits of taking his phy sics class. Students in Mr. Beltram’s class conducted various experiments throughout the year. Such experiments helped the students to understand the relationship between time and travel, gravita- tional force and various other concepts. “Everyone benefits in some way; no class is a waste of time, even if the concept is not 100% mastered. House Bill 246 will allow more students to benefit from science by setting up tutoring ser- vices to those who may need some help,” ex- plained Mr. Gary Micinski about his chemistry class. Everything from dissec- tion of f rogs, to microbiology, to the study of catalysts in science, helped students to under- stand about the world around them. “I enjoy teaching biology because biology is about you; it’s a timely topic.” Mr. Jimmy Creel, chairman of the science department, ex- pressed why biology is the most interesting of the sciences in his point of view. In another biology class, Mr. Jack Cooksey taught his G.A.T.E. and enriched biology students about the structure of the D.N.A. molecule in a creative manner. Those students structured a 100-foot long D.N.A. molecule from con- struction paper. This Rroject took approximate- j three days to make and was on display in front of the main office from November 20 through the 30th. The project helped students to understand better about this substance. When asked about his class, senior Frank McKay replied, “1 really benefit from physics because it will help me later in col- lege and also in everyday life.” Even though this referred to a specific course, it could possibly be said about many of the science courses in general. 118 science Michelle Brinkley and Karo Poling, sophomore� , study their lab booklet� and microslides in an attempt to answer the assigned questions in Mr. Jimmy Creel's biology class.

I didn’t expect it to be so fun,” said Amy Peden, one of the 22 win- ners. “I had a lot of fun, especially since I won,” laughed Andrew Thom- son, freshman. In keeping up with cur- rent history, all govern- ment classes were required to do current events,” said Mr. W. C. Smith, depart- ment chairman. “Every weekend 1 have to search the neighborhood yards for unwanted newspapers looking for some kind of current event” dead- panned Errol Hughes, a junior. social studies 121 outside world Students in word processing learn how to operate a computer and make it print what they put in the machine.

Jobs for the Although a business class may not have been practical for everyone, students that chose to take classes such as office ser- vices and typing polished their skills in preparation for jobs in the outside world. “I’d thought, if I took accounting, I’d only learn how to do menial tasks, such as balancing my checkbook,” said Kenneth Dew. “But that’s not so; I even worked on com- puters, at times.” Business procedures classes tried to keep up with the newest equip- ment, using computers, the most efficient typewriters and the newest adding machines. Mrs. Wanda Watts, an accoun- ting teacher said, “I think our whole department did well in keeping the newest office machines on hand, so that students would be prepared for any office job they may be faced with.” Kim Brown, a senior typing student, said, “I hope I can get a full-time job right out of high school with the skills Fve been taught. I believe I will, because not only have I been taught well, but I’ve also enjoyed what I’ve learned.” 122 business Typing students often type under pressure, having to finish assignments in a short amount of time.

Students taking drivers’ ed enrolled in two parts of it: behind the wheel, and classroom. Paul Apron said. “I enjoyed all of my drivers’ education. 1 am glad to get my license before I turned 18.” Physical education was endured by many because of the sports which were played, such as football, basketball, volleyball and flickerball. Less Strickland said, “My favorite sport is soccer. I liked it because it is really active. The sports were varied so that everyone could get a chance to participate in a favorite activity. During health, students studied the effects of drugs upon the body, how to stay healthy, and hunter safety. In order to learn about these subjects, students read from their books and did questions from the chapters. They also watch- ed films, did word searches and played games pertain- ing to health. Greg Ellis, a junior said. Health will help me in the future, because when I get sick or hurt. I will know what to do. Each of these courses played a vital part in learn- ing about everyday life. Shelley Adams, a senior, concluded by saying, “The skills I learned in drivers’ ed, p.e. and health have been brought over into my daily life. I don’t think I go a day without using something I learned in one of those courses. Coach Mike Manley and Angela Smith play chew in third period adaptive physical education in the cafeteria.

The courses taught ranged from small engine repair to horticulture, or from cosmetology to construc- tion trades. However, each course offered a student a chance to develop a skill in a certain area so that he could be more prepared for life after graduation. Homemaking instructor Mrs. Judith Tyler said, “Homemaking will permit students to learn essential skills needed to lead a satisfying life. I believe every student should learn the things taught in this course.” Small engine repair, which teaches students how to fix machinery such as lawn mowers and motorcycles, had many people in the class. James Hale, a student, stated, “1 took the class because I wanted to learn the safe way to use tools. Mean- while, I’ve improved my leadership abilities, and I’ll be able to compete in both district and state competition. “I’ve gotten a lot more out of this class than I ex- pected to,” he ended. Vocational courses were sometimes in three-hour time blocks, so that only juniors and seniors could sign up for them. Yet, even with cuts in vocational training spending, enroll- ment in vocational courses was as strong — if not stronger — than ever. After finishing their assignment.

Fergcrson. enrich minds rtful classes Enriching the creative mind were various courses that taught students to ex- press themselves through musical, vocal and written inspiration. One student who was in her fourth year of band, Susan Davis, said, “I especially liked band this year because it kept me in- volved in school activities, and that’s important your senior year.” Another band member, junior Lance Smith, commented, “In band we learn more than music; our group develops more and more pride each year. I believe we’re above average in every aspect. Choir student Debra Daniels said, “I joined the Meistersingers because I like to sing, regardless of where 1 am. I've also learned to read music in this class.” However. Kevin Hendon said, “I like to sing, too, but when I used to get in front of a big class, I would freeze. Through this class. I’ve overcome some of my stage fright.” Drama was another creative outlet for many. Kurt McCullen, a student of this subject, said, “I’m quite a ‘ham.’ I could act in front of any sized crowd. This creative outlet was featured in the fall pro- duction of Sugar, as well as the U.I.L. competitive number, a cutting from The Wind in the Willows, by -Joseph Baldwin. In another area, pen and pencil provided a means for learning in two other classes: art and creative writing. Bobby Taylor, a creative writing student, said. “The class helps me think of different perspec- tives of my creative writing ability. Each student got a chance to develop creative talents through these courses, if he wished. Ms. Joy Woods, an art teacher, concluded, “No student should go without discovering some special talent. 128 llu' art Many different crafts and skill� are taught in art classes Angie Hanks use these as she chooses an elaborate design in which she utilize� her own name.

Hendon. 130 electives Choosing an elective was not always an easy job, but the reasons that students took these subjects varied as vastly as the courses themselves. One main reason was because students were required to have at least seven elective credits, with one being a skills course, in order to graduate. Some students chose their elective in accord- ance to what they wanted to pursue after graduation. Kimberly Parker, a senior, said, “I want to venture in- to some field of medicine, so I took both health oc- cupations and psychology this year. I’ve learned quite a bit about medicine through these, so maybe I’ll be able to achieve my goal.” Another example of an elective taken to help a student with his career was auto mechanics. It taught the student everything he needed to know about the care and maintenance of an automobile. At the Stuart Career Center, auto body allowed those interested to learn other automobile aspects. Whether the choice was made because of credit, or career.each student gained something from it by the end of the year. Junior Charlene Abbott said, “I took leather works this year, but I wasn’t totally convinced that it would be fun. However, I ended up having a great time learn- ing how to make leather belts and keychains, too.” Mark Cowen and Jody Richardson take time out to celebrate the impend- ing Christmas holidays with classmates.

She continued, “It has been a place of activity and learn- ing throughout the year.” The staff found almost every period during the day scheduled with classes wanting to do research, homework or just wanting to pick out an interesting book. Mrs. Snead explained, “To be alive, the library must be a changing place. Ours is just that; new books and material are constantly coming in throughout the year.” The librarians utilized the presidential campaign to its fullest extent. They decorated the room with banners and balloons reading, “Vote for Books.” Mrs. Snead stated, “The library was a place of celebration during the week of elect ion.” “The election promotion was exciting, especially since it was a new' idea,” stated Darrian Wilcox, a senior who used the library during the campaign time. The library staff helped students, of all grades, learn how to use the refer- ence material effectively. Mrs. Snead concluded, “I’ve seen the seniors of ’85 through four years here. I can only hope that they will remember our library as a source of knowledge and inspiration!” Mrs. Lois Snead and Jen- nifer Granada rend the latest news on the announcement board, whether it proclaim the new year or talks about new books recently added.

Sometimes, it was an overwhelming ex- perience, as if you had just been swallowed alive. Sometimes, it was a relief to be among so many of your peers. But rarely could it be avoided. The halls of the school held approximately 2,575 students every day: more people than many small Texas towns. Each of these different people somehow blended into one large community, creating many organizations, groups, cliques and classes. Yet, none of these larger masses would exist without each individual partici- pant, proving that sometimes it’s the little things that go into making the school exactly what it is.

Through this program, teachers were to be paid in accordance with the number of years teaching and how high their degree. An example would show a teacher with three years of ex- perience and a Masters Degree earning more than another similar teacher with the same amount of years, but with only a Bachelors Degree. Another matter outlined in the bill was teacher competency. “By June of 1986, all teachers must Rass a competency test,” stated lr. Wachtel. They may take the test over if necessary, but must have a satisfactory score by the deadline.” One of the subjects that was more visible were the teacher evaluations. At these times, ad- ministrators sat in on classes with a set of guidelines to deter- mine if teachers were conducting their classes appropriately. “Though there has been much controversy over House Bill 72, some aspects have made it worthwhile to both the students and faculty,” said Mr. Wachtel, as he referred to the items mentioned.

In the intervening years since he took office, Dr. Clark wit- nessed many changes in various programs and curriculum. He in- itiated ideas in the form of voca- tional classes, which in turn led to the construction of the voca- tional building here. Programs such as G.A.T.E., F.O.M., en- riched classes, S.A.C. and the alternative school also came under his supervision. One of his projects during his final year was the ethnic trend survey given out to parents of all high school students in the district. The surveys were sent out due to petitions from citizens in the Lee zone. ‘‘We sent out 8,000 surveys and received 3,500 back,” said Dr. Clark. They showed that parents in the Sterling zone felt 2 to 1 that the district should remain the same, while Lee zone parents wanted to change the trend, also on a 2 to 1 ratio. “My hope is that the Board will come to a decision that is acceptable to everyone,” stated Dr. Clark. As his retirement date drew near, Dr. Clark explained his future plans. “I will remain in Baytown; however, I will be doing some travelling with my race horses to various tracks. During my retirement I will also have more time to spend on other business proposals.” Retiring after 16 yean as superintendent. Dr. Johnny Clark plans to stay in Baytown but will do some travelling.

When asked about the class in which he took charge, Mr. Polk said, “I’m very impressed with their attitude so far. I feel that they will continue the mighty Ranger tradition.” Mrs. Ward elaborated, “The freshman class is a very exciting one. We have many leaders and participants in extracurricular events.” Mr. Polk commented on the adjustments the class was mak- ing, by saying, “There is always a transition period between junior high and high school. I am con- vinced that as we help the freshmen through this transition, they will become an outstanding class.” Mrs. Ward also stated, “High school is much more demanding, but they 'have done well the first few weeks, which are usually the hardest.” Mr. Polk ended by saying, “Each freshman class must establish its own identity. I have no reservations that this one will end up being one of the greatest classes ever to walk the halls of Ross Sterling.” Officers of the Freshman Class: Lori Nelson, vice-president; Kelly Plato, president; Aimee Lannou, secretary.

They also help to re- flect a person’s personality. Collec- tions ranged from soap opera magazines and stuffed animals, to computer games and Polo shirts. There were many reasons why eople collected items. Donna chick said, “I like collecting Soaps Digest magazines because I like to stay caught up on the latest daytime serials.” Tony “Buffy” Estes added, “I like collecting Ralph Lauren Polo shirts because it’s a way to show people my style. Many of the collections, however, were for entertainment. Kevin Hendon collected books, hats, pictures, knives and computer games. He said, I started collecting hats and knives about a year ago. books since 1 was little, and com- puter games approximately three years ago.” Freddie Gonzales collected Indian artifacts and old coins, and he add- ed, I’ve been collecting Indian poetry for about four months, and coins for a year, although I haven’t added all that much to my collection.” The costs to maintain a collection varied. One student said, My col- lection isn’t all that expensive; it on- ly averages about $3 an item.” Buffy added, Is my collection expensive? What do you think?” Depending on what kind of collection you chose to have, you could spend a small amount of money or a fortune to start and maintain it. Collecting is fun and it gives me something to do,” com- mented Christina Russell.

Each day, as the bell rang for fourth period, it was a signal to one third of the school that lunch was “on.” People crowded into the cafeteria for their allotted 30 minutes to get a bite to eat and, as Kidoo Shin stated, “I like to eat with my friends.” People spent from 50 cents to $2 on lunch, which could be a variety of foods such as salad, baked potatoes, nachos or the green tray lunch.

Many people liked to decorate their lockers to make them special and unique. Anne Mit- chell, senior, said, “I decorate my locker with stickers and pictures so it won’t look so boring.” Beth Northcutt added, “Decorating my locker cheers me up. It’s a personal touch aside from the robot-like events of school. Pictures of movie stars, rock groups and lots of stickers are hanging in my locker.” Seniors Tamara McNabb and Mary Roman found that decorating their locker was just as easy when they shared one. “We both contributed to and decided on what to put on our locker,” Tamara added. “I don’t have time to put things in my locker,” freshman Angie Shaffer said, while senior Kysa Anderson said, “I decorate my locker after I get out of school at two o’clock.” Senior Loretta Geib concluded, “The biggest surprise is finding that someone has decorated the outside of your locker for you.

You probably wouldn’t if you weren’t one of the 11 sets of twins at Sterling. Look at the advantages you would have as duplicates of one another. “Being a twin gives you a bigger selection of clothes,” commented Tim McNabb, an identical twin of Tom. Robin Enloe, a fraternal twin of Rosalyn said, “You never go to school alone.” Keith Fretty, an identical twin of Karl added, “People can’t tell us apart, so they don’t know who did what.” Trading classes was a possibili- ty if you were a twin. Tom and Tim said, “It’s really not likely a teacher would notice, but but if she did, you could be sure she would do a double take (probably to the office!).

Keith, his brother, said, “I don’t like dress- ing alike.” “I feel the biggest disadvan- tage is getting blamed for something I didn’t even do,” commented Tom, one of the McNabb twins.

Upon entering the last phase of public school, many found that quite a few differences were very noticeable, especially schedules and teachers. In junior high, schedules were pretty much decided for the stu- dent. Once placed in classes, there were seven periods of 45 minutes, as opposed to six classes of 55 minutes in senior high. Christina Hodges, a freshman transfer student said, “Sterling is more organized and the teachers help the students individually.” hod Isberto, also a freshman, iid. “When you go to high school, quite a bit more is ex- pected of you, and teachers are more aware of discipline.” However, as different as high school may have seemed, finding a favorite class during the day was something that was unchang- Mcmories of pre-high school years are generated as most Sterling students come here from one of the schools represented by each of these yearbooks.

The Future Farmers of America and the German Club got a jump on everyone by star- ting their sales immediately after school started. Although the F.F.A. and the German Club were the most visible in this sud- den urge to make money, many others did just as well. Mr. Terry Ryals. Student Council sponsor, and Mrs. Nancy Walsh, secretary, also were among the many in this struggle for financial survival. They suc- ceeded by selling things like shirts, buttons and ribbons. “The Amid n � en of flower� . Keywanette and J.R.A-' prepare (o distribute Homecoming mum� , a fund-raising project of both group . Photo by A. Perkin . members of the faculty were very responsive in buying shirts, and the students were most in- terested in buying pins, buttons and stickers,” commented Mrs. Walsh who was selling for the Booster Club. The F.F.A. took part in all of this by holding their annual sausage sale. Kristina McNeill said, “I like to sell because it’s fun and you get to meet new people.” The German Club sold calen dars to make money. Terrie Plante, who sold for the German Club, said, “We are trying to make money for scholarships, trips and banquets.” So remember, the next time you buy something like a shirt, pin, button or the ever-popular M Ms, you are doing more than buying something for yourself; you are helping an organization survive.

Mr. Alton Phillips, the counselor, has been here for four years, and Mr. Frank Hutchins, assistant principal, has been here for seven years. Mr. Phillips duties were help- ing students keep track of their credits earned in school, helping students understand their achievement abilities and in- terests, and last but not least, helping students set their goals. Mr. Hutchins duties were keeping track of the overall at- tendance and discipline of the sophomores. He was also in charge of maintenance and operations of the building and custodial staff. He said that the school was in good shape now after the clean-up of last year’s Hurricane Alicia. Mr. Phillips, explaining what he liked most about the school, exclaimed, “The student body. Most of them take pride in their school and value their learning experience.” Mr. Hutchins said, “It’s great not to be with freshmen anymore. Most of them have grown up a lot during the summer of’84.” Mr. Phillips said the new grading system was really hard for the students to get used to. But he thought everyone could succeed if he tried. He also added that most freshmen grew up a lot during the summer. “They came back to school as sophomores with an understanding of how the system works and how they can use school to benefit themselves.” Officers of the Sophomore Class: Timberly Lewis, president; Kelvin Sims, vice-president; Pheletria Barnes, secretary.

Most of these rode buses which arrived usually 20 to 30 minutes before the sound of the first bell. Sophomore Mark King stated that he did not like riding the bus, “but until I get my driver’s license, it is my only means of transportation.” Others, such as R.O.T.C., sports and band members found early morning participation man- datory. Robert Martin, sophomore drill team member, said, “My early morning obliga- tions are not a burden, but are more of an enjoyment,” and were something for which he looked forward. Football players, such as Kelvin Sims, J.V. tailback, were obligated to report Monday- Wednesday mornings at 7:30 to study the films of the teams which were destined to be played. Kelvin said, “I don’t feel like I have to come in the mornings; I come because I feel I need to learn the other team’s defense, and by watching films, this enables me to do so.” Different people came early for different reasons. Most rode buses, some were part of certain organizations or were team members, while others came ear- ly just to meet with their friends and get an early start on the day. Just as many do, Vance Mercaldo get to school way before first period begins to get in some early-morning practice. Photo by A. Perkin� .

Kayla Reeves, a sophomore, said, “One way to get a teacher off the subject is to ask him about something they like to do.” Robin Neimeier, also a sophomore agreed, and added, “Ask something about their fami- ly.” Using one of the oldest ways known, Samuel Prevost, a junior, simply said, “I make noises until the teacher stops what she is doing.” Chere Lynch, a junior more in- to having a teacher laugh and not be upset, said, “If you know the teacher has a good sense of Sometimes students can sway a teacher’s at- tention from the subject other than what is in the lesson plans.

Perkins. humor, tell them jokes!” The students’ objective was to waste time and sometimes needed very little help in succeeding. Roy Ed- wards, a sophomore, said that tact and guile were indeed one of his favorite ways to get a teacher off the subject. 158 sophomores Russell Hamilton Doug Hancock Kelli Hardin Bruce Harlan Grant Harrington Mark Harris Patricin Harris Wesley Harrott ■lames Hart Donnie Harvey Karla Hauser Renee Hebert Shawn Hebert Jamie Hedges Bonnie Helm Corey Henderson Trena Henderson Bruce Henry Stacy Henry Martina Hernandez Patricin Hernandez Ingrid Herrington Mary Hewitt Donnn Hicks Gary Higginbotham Cory Hildebrand Euclin Hill Kelli Hill Christie Hillier Lynn Hirt Devon Hixson Kristi Holley Tiffany Hollister Raymond Hooper Lori Hoops Brad Hopper Will Hud man Shawn Huggins Donna Hull Melissa Hullum Nickie Hunt Stacy Hunter Derrick Hurst Hans Husby Marshall Hutton Carl Hyltin Angela Ingham Trey Isaacki Susan Jackson Greg Jacobs Elizabeth Jannise Kathy Jannise Linda Jimenez Paul Jimenez Rogelio Jimenez Jan Johnson Jerry Johnson Grayson Johnson Dottie Jones Bobby Jones Jennifer Jones Jimmy Jones Kim Jones Larrtsa Jones Vemrick Joseph Hector Juarez Celcstin Jules Jodi Kaatz Julie Kadjar James Kaminski Greg Keeble Karen Keller sophomores 159 Donna Kemplay l)� l)e Kendrick Jill Keyes Mark King Bill Kirkland I .aura Klebenow Stanley Knapton (.ester Knupple Richard Kogart Todd Kratky DeLainn Knisher Molly Kukorlo .lumen Koler Ryan Kozak Mary I aird Kim Lamarr Melissa LaPorte Lad l.auderdale Allen Laughlin Candace Lavergne Jesse Leal Kristi Lemley Kimberly l.cmond John Lemelle Mechelle Lewundowski John larvis Kevin Lewis Kim Lewis Timberly I.ewis Veronica Lievarui Roger Liggins Richard Linck William Lindner Elbe Little Shnnn Little Sandy Lopez Jacintha Louis Shanna Lucas Melinda Lumus Vincent Lyons Romany Malco Cheryl Mahar Missy Maple Anthony Martin Donna Martin Robert Martin Rusty Martin Kenny Martinez Laura Martinez Raymond Martinez Sandra Martinez Shari Mason Angie Mathery Heidi Mnthes Steve Matthews William Mathews Karen Meadows Katie Menard Marty MekaJip Racheal Mendieta Troy Menifee Shari Mento Frances Meritl Kenneth Merrill Dewey Merryman Roliert Metzger Jerry Michaisky Brian Miles Chris Miller Steve Mills Tanya Mills Chris Moffet 160 sophomores £ xcuses voiced by late arrivals Following the day-to-day routine of getting up, getting dressed and putting on your face, there was still that tedious duty of getting to school on time. The number of excuses was as varied as the number of those who could not meet the 8:05 deadline. “My alarm clock didn’t go off,” and “My curling iron broke,” ex- plained Linda Torres using two of her favorite excuses about why she was late. For other students, getting to class late was a problem for a variety of reasons. Donna Hicks said, “Traffic in the halls is just too much.” However, Terry Flourney exclaimed, “People are just too slow in the morning.” As you can see, being late could be a problem, and as Lee Kaber- nick put it, “If I don’t like the class, I’ll be late.” The excuses were an array of assortments, ranging from, I overslept to My dog ate my homework. Mrs. Mar- tha Starkey, attendance office secretary, who knew more about excuses than the students themselves, said,, “When some students come in and tell you an excuse, you can easily tell they’re lying, but on the majority, most students tell the truth.” Most of the excuses given by the students were legitimate. Kevin McBunch said, “I think just missing the bus would be an excuse.” Sherry Walls com- mented, “Wrecks should be con- sidered an excuse; after all, you don’t know when you will have a wreck.” Whether the excuse was a wild one or just the usual “over- sleeping syndrome,” they were all a part of everyday life at Sterling. Finally making it to the front of the line, Cobie Clawson stops by the attendance office to get his excuse before going on to first period. Photo by G. Fergerson.

There were many ideas for plates, among them mottos. “I didn’t want to be just like everybody else,” explained Marie LeBlanc, whose license plate, EI RAM 1 — when vievwed through the rearview mirror — read 1 Marie.

Then there are the kind we all try to avoid: embarrassing moments. One senior revealed, Once at a fairly crowded baseball game, I was singing into the microphone, only to find out my friends had turned it on. Everyone turned around and started laughing at me. I blushed for days!” Toni Shafer, senior, explained, The first week of school, I went to my junior English class! I was terribly embarrassed because I didn’t think I would do such a thing.” Lisa Hospendales, a senior, stated, One day I was walking Mr. Andy Anderson and Mrs. Sandy Huff, security guard . assist an embarrassed student retrieve his keys from his locked car.

I got up and ran to the restroom to see if my teeth were still there and when I came out, everyone was laughing at me.” Marshea Burgess, a junior, commented, “My father has a limousine service, and one day he got all dressed up, came to the mall to pick me up, and hopped out in front of all of my friends to open the door for me to get in!” Traci Vandergrift, a junior, said, “I was walking up the stairs with my boyfriend a couple of years ago, with about 14 books in my hands, which just had to fall all the way back down the stairs in front of 400 people. Needless to say, I was very embarrassed.” Life’s embarrassing moments seem to sneak up on us when least expected. But, sooner or later, we somehow managed to recuperate from that moment we thought we would never forget.

As time goes on, changes take place. From sophomores, juniors arose and changes were noticed by Mrs. Robbie Dickson, counselor, and Mrs. Janie Christian, assistant principal. Both agreed that the juniors were an excellent class. ‘‘More mature and sincere juniors took on more respon- sibilities during the year,” Mrs. Dickson said. On the other hand, Mrs. Christian added, “The juniors had the capability to push harder for their goals.” Overall, students were found to be very flexible when it came to changes made during the school year. The biggest and most dif- ficult changes were at the begin- ning of the year. This included the new grading system which threw many students off at first. Accepting the new challenge set before them, they found the flex- ibility within themselves to make the adjustment and go forth to school activities. Inclined to participate in many school functions and to keep up with all new events, “Juniors always had high spirits.” Both Mrs. Christian and Mrs. Dickson agreed.

As Cin- dy Molina commented, “I would want my room really big with a water bed and mirrors everywhere, and my own bathroom.” In reality, she had a small room which she shared with her sister. ‘‘However, I do have my own telephone and stereo which makes things all the better,” she added. Deno Vondenstein com- mented, “I like a messy room because it makes me feel at home because I can find my clothes faster if they are on the floor.” Wendy Herrin, who shared her n om with her sister, because they got along so well, knocked a wall down, combining their two individual rooms. As the size of the room doubled, their com- bined personalities took over as they decorated their space with a waterbed, plus all their stereo equipment. Wendy added, “I really like sharing a room with my sister.” Some unusual belongings in to- day’s teens rooms were designer wall paper, personal computers, waterDeds, outside entrances and bulletin boards filled with Sterl- ing memorabilia. Students also collected items such as dried out Homecoming mums, ribbons, flowers, pictures, pins, football calendars and any other trinkets which could be saved. All of these reflected their high school days. It also made their room much more exciting with school life ad- ded to it. Ax xhe reads one of her homework assignments.

The night before a party was thrown at Brian Remke’s house to get ready for the big day, and now it was time. Sleepy-eyed and wearing warm- ups, they entered the school by 5:30 with all the materials ready to go. As the morning went on and as they observed their creation, “We knew we had a pretty good chance of win- ning,” said one junior. The overall theme was “Goose- busters,” and their hall contained a graveyard with “tombstones” of Lee football players, with names like Garcia, Tindol, Neptune and Green. After meeting at a local restaurant, juniors like Lisa Simmons. Suzette Tiner and Angie Hanks help prepare the award-winning hall. Photo by A. Perkins. Throughout the eerie scene, black, yellow and purple flourescent colors enhanced the effect. Then second period finally came: the announcement of the winners. The juniors and the sophomores tied with a score of 372 points. “I was glad we beat the seniors but ty- ing with the sophomores made me a little upset. We put at least 24 hours into our project. I know they didn't spend that much time on theirs!” commented Brian. Lisa Simmons also commented, “Our hall was really good. I know we deserved first place, but I don’t think we should have tied with the sophomores. We put a lot of hard work into it, but we also had a lot of fun.

They hold meanings within them that tells what a per- son is really like, or what he likes. “I like stickers that get to the point about someone’s feelings,” senior Loretta Geib said. “They’re really helpful when you want people to know how you feel,” she concluded. Stickers, such as 97 Rock, 101 KLOL and QZoo were among many student favorites. With some radio station stickers on your car, you could possibly win instant cash. Senior Gary Prince, • -Judas Priest fan, said, “They let people know if you have good musical taste.” Referring to another favorite of the students was the one that said, “Welcome to Texas, now go home,” as senior Lori Poling stated. Some students would pay up to $5 for a sticker they really liked, while others refused to pay anything. “I usually don’t buy bumper stickers,” junior Lisa Wilkerson commented. “Per- sonally, I don't like bumper stickers. I think they’re a waste of money,” freshman Anthony Castelluzzo said. In an attempt to explain that bumpers are not the only place to put them, senior Toni Shafer commented that she also liked to put them on her school folders, in her locker and on her bedroom door. If you were looking for any specific sticker, Mary Knight, a senior, said that record stores, Spencer’s and other gift stores carried a good selection of various types. “The prices of the stickers may range from 75 cents upward, but it’s worth the price, if you really like it,” senior Tina Castelluzzo said. Whether denoting a popular radio station, an annual musical event or even a favorite profession, bumper stickers “... are really helpful when you want people to know how you feel. Photos by M.

About their popularity, Patrick Guidry (Mr. Mouth) said, “It almost makes us feel as if we are real superstars.” Others in the group included Kerry Henderson (Royal Fresh Beater), Bruce Johnson (Dr. J.), Clavis Registe (Flash), Junior Malco and Robert Allen (White Horse).

Among these were Mr. Jackie Crawford, senior assistant prin- cipal, and Mr. Jimmy Elliott, senior counselor. As assistant principal, Mr. Crawford had the duties of being coordinator of the general super- vision and discipline on campus. Along with these tasks, Mr. Crawford, who was with them since their freshman year guided the seniors down the path toward graduation. Mr. Elliott, on the other hand, worked toward leading the class through the trials and tribulations of schedul- ing classes for the students’ par- ticular needs. With mainly positive attitudes about the senior class, Mr. Crawford complained only about the percentage of non- conformists, which he added were close to none. An abundance of pride showed through as Mr. Crawford described the seniors as a class of great character. “Overall, this class is together. They adhere to the saying, ‘All for one and one for all. ’ I expect a good year out of the seniors,’’ Mr. Crawford remarked in September. “They’re a great bunch of kids.” Officers of the Senior Class: Tiffany Arnett, president; Adam Henry, vice-president, Kysa Anderson, secretary.

As the styles emerged, the most prominately seen fashions were stone-washed jeans, leather and parachute pants and skirts with the hems a bit more daring. However, even though the more different fashions were seen more frequently than in the past, Lee, Levi and Wrangler jeans con- tinued to hold interest with the majority of students. For the more conservative, ox- ford shirts were always an option for both guys and girls. And. when feeling a bit more dressy, guys sometimes added a necktie to complete the outfit. Dresses were seen worn more often without pantyhose, and the simple, plastic “Jelly shoes com- pleted the look. For girls, make-up ranging in price from 99 cents to $105 was also an important part of “the look.” Different students commented on clothes styles. When Shawn Williams was asked, “How do you feel about Levi’s 501 denims?”, he replied, “They’re my favorite. 1 think they’re B-'A-D.” The affect of music on fashion was prominent, also. A reflection of this was shown in Sonia Barnette’s comment, “I like to wear ruffles like Prince!” Michael Jackson “Thriller” jackets dotted up the campus, as did “breakdancing” clothes, although that activity was banned on campus. Summing up her feelings of fashion and style, Deidra Bates said, “I want to be myself.” With such diversity in the season’s fashion, it was not hard for most people to simply “be themselves.” Dressed in the latest styles, Shelly Higgin- botham and Renee Harrington demonstrate how to do the “Bus Stop at the Howdy Dance, as Paul Smith makes his statement during class.

Dawson com- mented, with a grin, “Just a few minor mistakes. As Diana Reese explained, “Getting a ticket might not ex- actly be what I call fun, especially when it wasn’t really my fault. She explained, “I got the ticket for a wreck which I had during the summer, but I was sitting still! My parents and I still can’t Reaching for one of the many tickets he ha� received. Chris Shine gets his latest from Officer Rick Whitehead. Photo by A. Perkins believe they gave me a ticket!” She added, “I took an eight-hour course of defensive driving on Saturday and got my ticket removed since it was my first one.” The prices paid for these minor mistakes ranged broadly from a minute $33 to a huge ticket reading $625. Chris Shine, who received that huge repremenda- tion, commented, “I really wasn’t worried about the price, but when they threatened to take my jicense away, I definitely decided it was time to slow down!” Jim French Michael Gates Connie Gavin Loretta Geib Tina Giles Joe Gonzalez Mark Goodner Darlene Gordon Jennifer Granados Kim Graves Derek Grayson Gene Gregorcyk Lisa Gregory Craig Gross Gary Guidry Kim Guidry Damon Guillory Donald Guillory Jill Hagberg John Hall Bruce Hallman 180 seniors Angie Hamilton Denise Hanks Patrick Hardison Renee Herrington David Harves Jana Harmon Jim Harville Gina Henderson David Hendricks Joyce Henneke Margie Henncsay R.

Adam Henry, senior class vice-president, commented, “The seniors really didn’t make any plans for this. It was just a sud- den thought by Mr. Crawford and some students.” “We intended to have it hang- ing through all of Lee Week, but it wasn’t completed until Thurs- day,” Mr. Crawford said.

However, Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, had an alter- native plan in mind. From past experience, he for- mulated the plan for a Hanger fire in the shape of a burning “R.” With the assistance of several departments, the actual construction fell to the metal trades and ag mechanics students. “We had a great time building it but a hard time put- ting it up,” noted Eric Griffin. Mr. Jackie Crawford and Mr. Frank Hutchins, assistant prin- cipals, were in charge of raising the structure. “The weather was the big problem.” explained Mr. Crawford. “It slowed the process down. The students were unable to raise the letter because it was discovered that the base was too weak to support it so a tow truck was called in for help. After the “R” was finally righted, it was time for the tor- ching. As the assistant principals sprayed fuel over the symbol and prepared to light it, Mr Wachtel led the students in “We want a burning R, we want a burning R!“ After the event, Mr. Crawford commented, “This was a new concept. The students had not yet gotten over not having a bon- fire and were not ready to accept this. I do feel that the students that did show up had a good time.” Mr. Wachtel added, “I think things turned out great consider- ing the trouble we had, but the kids had fun and I think they’ll spread the word around and next year, when more students get in- volved, t hings will go better.” Success finally lights up the night sky October 25 as the new Rnnx -r symbol makes its first ap- pearance. Replacing the annual bonfire, the burn- ing R“ was displayed the night before the Homecoming game against North Shore that the Rangers won 56-14. Photo by A.

On October 24, before school, club initiants and officers met in t heir respective meeting rooms to prepare the initiants for the day. “We had to wear black garbage bags with a German flag taped to it, and a black painted cap for the German Club. Halfway through the day, though, someone ripped my bag off of me, and Mr. Mayer didn’t make me put on a new one. I got off easy!” said Dave Zemkosky, a sophomore. Initiations did not always simply include dress; some clubs also had to perform. During all three lunches in the cafeteria, ini- tiants of the Spanish Club sang La Cucaracha and did a Mexican hat dance for all to see. Melinda Gray, one of these performers, said, “It was fun. Besides, being a good sport and participating was what this day was all about.” Laura Brown, a sophomore, stated, “It was pretty embarrass- ing, not being able to wear makeup, but we had a good time all day!” As Brian Hemingway points out the camera, Donna Disks is caught by surprise during initia- tion day in Spanish class.

However, these con- sumers sometimes needed a sub- tle nudge in order for them to make a decision between products. That’s where the Governor staff stepped in. Besides raising money to produce a yearbook, staffers sold ads to area mer- chants to help them advertise to a specific market. People from Distributive Education, the Sentinel and photography classes all pitched in on the ef- fort to sell ads to helpful area businesses. This overwhelming dedication finally “paid off,” as each small advertisement added up to quite a large sum of money, which eventually went towards the production and printing of this year’s book, proving that it usually takes little things to build something great.

Specs, short for specifica- tions, was what let the staffers know what style heading to use or whether an initial letter was re- quired. In addition to this, it also supplied technical information essential in publishing a contem- porary yearbook that was an ex- ercise in creativity. One thousand copies of Governor 1985 were printed with each copv selling for $30. The 240 pages (plus 32 page supplement) were set in Century Schoolbook type. Eighty pound Dull Enamel aper was used, secured in myth binding. The cover, in silver linen with applied sylver mylar, featured the current Governor 1985 (from Letraset) that was set in Aristocrat. The bulk of the book featured the versatile 3+ column method with each section containing its own specific set of graphics. The theme section and division pages, however, had their own distinct look. The opening and closing featured a modified 2+ style with the plus column placed where necessary. 224 acknowledgements and colophon Thank you.

Huggins. it’s the little things closing 237 A chain of events, both large and small, race swiftly past the mind’s eye while recollecting the year as a whole. If it was great, what made it so? For some, the Summer Olympics may have been the highlight of 1984. Indeed, many records were broken by Americans such as 15-year old Mary Lou Retton, Houston’s Carl Lewis, and Greg Louganis. For others, attentions may have been focused mainly on the presidential race. Ronald Reagan and his Vice President George Bush scored a landslide victory over opponents Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro. Records were broken here, also, as Ms. Ferraro was the first woman to ever run for the seat of vice president in a major political party and as the incumbents beat the opponents with a record number of electoral votes: 532-6.

Almost no one will forget the anguish on Mary Decker’s face, as she was tripped from her first-place spot in the 3,200 meters by Zola Budd, an inex- perienced runner. Everyone will perhaps remember the haunting look in the starving Ethiopians’ eyes, as time and again they were photographed by the press. Baby Fae, the first recipient of a baboon heart, brought heated con- troversy until her sad death, 32 days after her birth. Also, Indira Ghandi’s murder shocked the nation and put In- dia into a state of turmoil. In other events closer to home, somewhere, seemingly lost in the middle of the 175 instructional days of the school year, were a few breaks from the monotony, such as the Christmas holidays and Spring break. Weather came into play during those “free days,” as snow waited patiently for the Christmas holidays to end until it show- ed up — almost two inches worth — January 3. And, torrential rains, seem- ingly unending, poured upon the town for two weeks before spring break showing everyone that, possibly, the groundhog had been correct in predic- ting six more weeks of winter. Whatever importance these events may have had, they each affected all of us in one way or another. From negative to positive, and grand to minute, each little thing joined together to create a chain of events which will, no doubt, be labeled “1985.” Before school, Lynn Williams nets in some early-morning practice before going to first period.

Balloons were blown, tables were arranged and the band began to set up in order for the event to begin. “Everything came together to make the night run smoothly,” explained senior secretary Mrs. Nan- cy Walsh. The little details, such as flowers, tuxedoes, and getting just that perfect hairdo and make-up were well planned out by many. “I spent the entire month before prom trying to decide how I should fix my hair,” stated Tina Castelluzzo. New fashion apparel was displayed as students wore laced gloves and designer stockings. The Too much fun can be pretty tiresome. After the dance, which ended at mid- night, Patty McGill and date Tony Estes relax in the Galleria lobby before ever-popular black and white tux was now accom- panied by a newcomer, those in grey and white. Both canes and gloves alike were worn as ac- cessories to the guys’ for- mal outfits. Another must was dark sunglasses. “I never go anywhere without my sunglasses, day or night,” remarked Matt Oehler. The evening progressed with the traditional ring turning ceremony at 10:30. Many left the dance early to continue festivities elsewhere. “We spent the night at the beach and stayed until Sunday morning,” replied Debra Daniels. Everything from the dance to the activities afterward made this distinctly the senior prom of 1985. heading on with friends Anne Mitchell and Chrioty from Pasadena. Photo by A.

Seniors reign at graduation “I’ve been here for six graduations, this will be my seventh, and three of them have been rained out,” Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, explained to the senior class at graduation practice. The clouds were few on May 28, yet double was still on the minds of seniors. GiGi Charlery stated. “Everytime the wind was cold, I looked to check on the clouds. I kept hoping the speakers would be fast.” Commencement seemed to go well as the speeches were not lengthy, the call- ing of names went smoothly and the handing out of diplomas was less chaotic than it could have been. The touch of the real diploma sent chills down some students, as Susan Davis explained, “The receiving of my diploma brought the reality of graduation to me. I really was a graduate.” During the commence- ment exercises, honor students were asked to stand and the Top Ten were called out by name. This year, Susan Nethery was valedictorian. Andy Thomsom salu- tatorian; next was Allison Smith. Elissa Ellis and Shelly Higginbotham. Also Stacey Sandel, Ann Joe, Jeff Plank. Jody Richardson and Melissa Copeland. These students were honored with a reception May 13 and recognized at the school board meeting, also on that night. Jeff Plank, eighth in the class, said, “When I re- ceived the plaque for being in the Top Ten, it made me feel like everything I had done was worth it. It was like a pat on the back. R. C.

At the top level, Andy Thom- son and Dana Schweers traveled to Austin to com- pete in the state meet. “If one isn’t inclined towards sports, there are many literary activities. U.I.L. events are great for people who want to get in- volved in something worthwhile,” said Andy, who placed fourth in calculator applications. Mr. Gary Sedlacek, sponsor of U.I.L.-related ready writing, explained, “U.I.L. helps make academic achievement more acceptable socially.” Mr. Robert Francis, calculator applications and number sense spon- sor, stated that participa- tion in U.I.L. competition usually helps a student in their regular classwork. Anne Joe, a U.I.L. calculator, number sense and typing contestant ex- plained about participa- tion. She said, “I prepared mainly by taking practice tests. Depending on the time of year, I spent up to seven hours a week for U.I.L.” Along the way, there were other outstanding achievers who put in their time and hard work. A few of these students excelling to a higher level were Tina Bunce, placing third in calculator during the district meet; Anne Joe, who placed fourth in calculator during the same meet; and the debate team of Gary Cowart, Troy Fields, Steven Colombe and Steve Floyd. Debate team member Steven explained, “In preparation for U.I.L. meets, we thoroughly researched the topic and carefully prepared for each debate.” He conclud- ed by saying, “It teaches healthy competition and provides interaction be- tween schools.” Thin year marked the 7fith anniversary of the University Interscholastic League (U.I.L.). UJX. began in 1910 as the debating league of Texas high schools. Now, the academic contests include one-act play, journalism, spelling, number sense, calculator applications, debate, informative and per- suasive speaking, prose and poetry reading, ready writing, science, shorthand and typing. Dana Schwecrs, one of the two students who competed at the state level in Austin, comments. I feel like I really learned a lot by competing in the U.I.L. journalism contest. Even though I didn't place in state. I got to experience the thrill of making it that high. Photo by G.

This season, soc- cer players who had made as their goal a successful season, discovered this ele- ment and made it work in their favor. In the two-hour practice session after school, the recently-formed team learned many new things. The members practiced strategies, learning ball- handling techniques, and became acquainted with many soccer skills. Les Strickland, a player, said, “The sport is a lot of fun, but it takes long hours of training and a lot of skill.” The boys faced very strong teams throughout the season. Some of the most difficult eames they played were Dooie, Aldine, Nimitz and Dallas Hillcrest. Doug Beck added, “And we had a hard time with the Deer Park referees, also.” The season ended with an overall record of 3-11-1. When asked about the season, and of future plans, Brian Stull com- mented simply, “The pains seem to make you play harder during the next game.” In a big win ngainst North Shore.

Several place at district level “Both the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams have done a great job this year,” said Ms. Sherry Younger while supervising one of the many practices during the year. The work paid off as several girls placed in district, and two of the boys did likewise. “In my opinion, our team was great. All of us got along; we just went out there and played our hearts out,” commented Edna Mondragon. “I got an exceedingly good amount of freshmen this year,” stated Coach Jim Partin, who went on to say, “All in all, the whole team: freshmen, J.V. and varsity all are superb.” “The boys’ team did well. We had a supreme team,” said Gary Russell. “Although we’ve had our ups and downs, I think the team came out really well,” commented Keith Mackert. He added, “Ten- nis is not only a game of skill, but a game of condition.” Coach Partin concluded, “Beaumont was our best tournament,” and then went on to say that Trevor Smith and Warren Hare won the freshman doubles. 10 tennift Junior Varsity and Freshman Tennis: (Front) Edna Mondragon.

The swim team had an outstanding year for both the girls and boys teams. All the hard work paid off when it really counted, at the district meet, where the boys placed first. “The practices were long and hard, but it all paid off in the end,” commented David Hill. “I am very pleased with the perfor- mance of the team overall.” Coach Tom Landgraf added, “The boys season was unforgettable. We had a large number of out- standing freshmen who really came through for us.” The boys swam their way to the district cham- pionship for the first time in history. Joel Pace, Lynn Williams, Lee Bates, David Sahm, Scott Han- shaw, Bryan Woods and David all qualified for the regional meet. In the finals, the 200 medley relay finished third and the 400 free relay finished fourth. “The effort in regionals was superb due to the team- work.” added Lynn, senior captain, who was also voted M.V.P. While the girls team on- ly placed fourth in the district meet, the members continued to improve. Good performances were turned in by Susan Talutis, Molly McCaffer- ty, Ana Moreno, Kathi Talutis and Tina Hill, who was later voted M.V.P. “We had an outstanding year and with the great success of the boys team, I have enjoyed it very much,” commented Coach Landgraf. swimming 13 Girls finish third in state Standing behind a curtain of sand, Lenny Mendelovitz removes his golf ball from a sand pit at the 15th hole. Photo by R. Flowers. The golfing scene was very exciting to watch as the boys’ and girls’ teams both wrapped up and ex- cellent season. Their ac- complishments far exceed- ed all expectations when the boys finished third in district and the girls fin- ished third in state. Among the boys’ team, Steve Bratcher and Scottie Hale stood out and led the team to place in the top of every tournament they played. Scottie, a sopho- more, took medalist honors at the district tournament at Texaco, and Steve, a junior, took the medalist honors at the Clear Lake tournament. “I am very happy with the outcome of the season, and I believe that since most of our team will re- main the same next year, we should have the stronger team in district,” said Coach Jerry Sanders. The girls’ golf team end- ed the season placing third in state after winning the district and regional tour- naments. “This was the second year that we played in the state tournament, and it was the 11 th year for us the win the District Championship,” said Coach Martha Marti. Leading the girl’s team was Lori Poling, senior. She was voted Female Athlete of the Year by The Baytown Sun, and took medalist honors in the district, regional, Mc- Cullough, Dulles, Spring, and the Baytown Invita- tional Tournament. In state, Lori tied for sixth place in 1984, and then tied for fifth place in 1985. ‘‘Lori has made an outstanding contribution to our golf program,” said Coach Marti.

Team wins 8 of first 9 games The excitement was drawn to a tight wire as the varsity baseball team came closer towards the end of its season. In order to win district and have a chance for the play-offs, the team had to win all of its last three games, but this hope fell short as the Rangers went on to beat Deer Park and Dobie, only to suffer an unexpected loss to Lee. “We started the season off great by win- ning eight of our first nine games,” said Brian Hemmenway. The Rangers were two games in the lead with the district championship looking very promising, but then the team started to suffer some very disappointing losses. “I think it may have been something psychological when we dropped from a two-win lead to a one-win lead,” explained Bobby Taylor. The Rangers found that even baseball can have its conflicts as the Rangers were stripped of a win because South Houston was found to have played with an ineligible player. “The best game of the season for me was when we beat Rayburn. They were supposed to be a tough opponent, and they were, but yet we beat them,” said Bobby. “The season was all together great,” accord- ing to Julio Torres. “I just wish it could have been greater,” he added. varsity baseball 17 Nigel Codrington (Left) break� the high jump record with a jump of 6'11'.

Keeping track of experiences “The varsity track season seemed endless ... the workouts were hard, but it looks like it all paid off,” said Daryl James, of the successful girls' season. However, it could have been said for the boys, also, as they ended their season in the posi- tion of co-champions, with five boys qualifying for seven regional events. For the girls, 10 represent- atives went to the regional meet to participate in seven events. After regionals, two ad- vanced to state. Allen Wachtel placed sixth in the 800 meter, and Nigel Codrington eighth in the high jump. “Track is a learning ex- perience,” said Jackie Jones, “and I’ve grown from this year.” Allen elaborated by saying, “I’ve learned through this sport, that competition is tough and one must strive to reach their goals, no mat- ter how hard.” Allen was a fourth year regional par- ticipant, and earned a scholarship to the Univer- sity of Texas for his efforts. For the first year, Coach Mark Seale instructed the girls’ team. Of the year he said, “These girls gave me and the school their best efforts all year long ... not just during the season. I couldn’t have asked for it to go any more smoothly,” he concluded. Varsity Track: (Front) Kennettn Piper. Kristi, Ary, Jackie Jones, Stacey Branch, Tracey Watkins. Dee Dee Shivers, Pam Daniels.

Teams report good seasons The undersquad baseball and track teams had memorable seasons, and Bill Johnson, baseball player, explained, “Our team was great, and I wouldn’t trade any of my memories for the world.” Backing this up, Track Coach Drew Dunlap add- ed. “We had some very dedicated underclassmen step forward to be leaders. That's what made our season such a successful one.” Specifically, “Winning the first nine baseball games was our most outstanding achievement of the year,” said Scott Parker. “Our season was exciting, even though we didn’t ao quite as well dur- ing the last half of the year.” Steven Christman added, “Rayburn was hard to beat but we put the hurt on Dobie.” Baseball Coach Gary Bender said, “They were outstanding all year, and I’m extremely pleased with their efforts.” Coach Dunlap con- tinued, “Sophomore Bo Valentine and freshman Kerry Henderson were two of my most potential varsi- ty participants. I’m especially proud of them.” He added that both were high scorers for their teams. The freshmen placed first in all of the five track meets which they attend- ed, including district. The J.V. team placed first in two, and fifth at district. Bo concluded, “If you like a sport, you should dedicate yourself not only to it, but to your team as well. We’ve all made a commitment to do our best, and this season I believe we’ve done just that.” Junior Varsity Baseball: (Front) Brent Baker, Tim Macmullen, Jeremy Vasqucz.

Usually given only to one or two individuals for outstand- ing leadership and dedication, Ms. Therese Norton, director, ex- plained why so large a group was honored. “It was all the little things that this group, the field officers, performed, that made this year what it was.” Achievements included running the freshmen Reserves, staying on top of all practices and rehearsals, and even organizing the lists for teachers’ goodies. (Achievers Are) (From top) Donya Jones, Elissa Ellis, Angie Reed, Shelly Higginbotham, LaLynda Hodges, Tonya Thur- man, Melissa Copeland, Patty McGill, Gina Lambert and Renee Harrington. Photo by L.

Traditions and year-end ti ... and so the year hur- riedly drew to a close with end-of-the-year activities like banquets and other traditions filling up the calendar. Band members ended their year at the Offshore Inn with the banquet theme Saturday in the Park. Besides the annual awards given out, an award of appreciation went to Mr. Jim Cun- ningham, a director. Anne Robins, a senior who presented him with his award, said, “We have ex- perienced so many suc- cesses during our four years as band members, and we wanted him to know' we couldn’t have done it without him.” Other groups that had similar events included J.R.A.’s and H.E.C.E. Held at Luby’s, the H.E.C.E. Early Bird Ap- preciation Banquet featured Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, as guest speaker, while the J.R.A.’s held theirs in the school cafeteria. Mr. Chuck Tone, sponsor, said, “This was our first banquet in about four years, it and rounded out a successful year.” In addition to banquets, other traditions remained. Whether it was cheer- leader tryouts, Beach Day, or whatever, all these little things added up to com- plete the year that will probably not be forgotten for some time to come.
