Opening A A m.s the first bell rang on the first Tuesday in September in 1987 to signal the beginning of the 1988 school year, things were decidedly dif- ferent. Still on a split schedule due to the fire that ravaged Robert E. Lee Senior High School the previous Spring, Rangers began classes at 7 a.m. and went until 11:55. The Sterling campus then became Lee’s from noon until 5:30. Since pe- riods were shortened to 45 minutes, and with no breaks except for the six minutes between each period, the pace of the day was fast-filled as a unique year developed a character all its own. Difficult as it was at the time, adjustments were made as the Rangers collectively pulled together to successfully make the best of it. Aa he keepa up hla pace.

Opening Making of it A lls the half-day schedule progressed, so did the most traditional of extra curricular activities: Sports. With most teams practicing from 12:40 to 2:40, results of competition left some lasting memories. Lee Fowler, who caught the winning pass during the final seven seconds of the Home- coming game, reminisced, As the ball came my way, I saw all of my practices flash in my mind .. . Look it in. which means ‘Watch the ball,’ ran through my head most. On the side lines, Lance Mize said, Then the ball just dropped into his arms and he was in for the touchdown! In the grandstands, Theron Ripke exclaimed, We were all jumping around and going crazy; it was awesome, a game to remember! Despite the altered practice sched- ules, Rangers still came through. Though un- spoken, they knew the score and chose to make the best of it. During the October 13 practice fire look the social studies hall too long to drill, Mr Ed Wachtel. principal, oh- gel out of the building so we are work serves some of the student body as ing on that problem Mr Richard they quickly evacuate the building Mr Miles.

Opening A M m.s the first six-weeks grading period rapidly came to a close, and September became Oc- tober, life settled down to a daily routine. As Sterling vacated the campus, Ranger Blue slowly gave way to Gander Maroon and the cross-town rivals settled in for the rest of the day. Baker Road Baptist Curch down the street became the scene of afternoon faculty meetings, club meet- ings and even math tutoring sessions. Life con- tinued and the unusual gradually became the norm. Originally, Lee’s building was expected to be finished by the first of December. As the weather became cooler and the holidays drew near, the date was extened due to construction delays. It didn’t seem to matter, though, because we adapted to the situation and chose to make the best of it. Oerman Club member Barbara Pe- cy Sessions, a Junior, gather around to trash, Leigh-Ann Wade.

Stars join the other junior class members when the time comes. At the conclusion of this pep rally, the juniors were announced as winners of the spirit stick. Pho- to by L. Myers. F M rom the Pigskin Preview to the first pep rally, up through Prom and graduation, stu- dents packed a lot of living into the collective activities known as Student Life. Though the structure of every day school life was about cut in half, students didn’t let a difficult sit- uation get them down. Traditional activities went on, more or less, as usual. Gathering momentum, the year progressd, and on September 4, the junior class won the spirit stick at the first pep rally. Later the annual Howdy Dance was held September 26 in the commons to welcome the Freshmen. Later, another welcome, an unfriendly one, greeted those whose cars were towed away September 28. Having been warned repeat- edly, many students learned the hard way that $2 for a parking permit was much better than paying up to $50 for a towing fee. Changes were numerous. Since fourth pe- riod lunch did not exist, the commons was the scene of numerous activities before school that had traditionally been held at noontime. These included nominations for class favorites, class officers and the Homcoming Court. Unlike last year, no reg- ular before-school pep rallies were held due to the amount of time available and the early hour they would have had to be scheduled. Before the year ended, students adapted to the situation as they saw Valentine’s Day, Spring Break and Easter quickly come and go. Seniors worked fervently during the an- nual Chicken Fry to raise money for that big night, the Prom, that arrived May 6. Soon after that, on May 27, graduation occurred. This showed — despite many obstacles that could have prevented traditional activities from taking place — that the Rangers strived to make the best of it. Living ... 9 2’s company N A Jlew versus old, tra- ditional versus modern, were comments generated when Sterling and Lee shared the campus. As the two Baytown groups were combined, mixed emo- tions about this were re- vealed. Jimbo Lamb, a junior, said. “I think it's a good experience. It's only right to let Lee use our cam- pus. Theda Lazard. a sen- ior. added, I think it’s wonderful. It makes you feel that if we try. we can cooperate with one anoth- er. However, not everyone enjoyed sharing the cam- pus. Jeff Swonke, sopho- more. exclaimed, I don't like Lee using our school because we have to get here so early! Michelle Williams, a senior, reluc- tantly said. I don't like it, but I guess it’s alright. Many remained neutral. They found both the good and the bad in the situ- ation. It dosen’t bother me at all. After all, we went to elementary school to- gether ... , stated Trevor Smith, a senior. Overall, most enjoyed getting out of school early but didn’t like having to be at school early. Lewanda Gilbert, soph- omore, exclaimed. I really like our half-day schedule since it gives me plenty of time to run around and take care of errands. Those with jobs also ben- efited: Some could even work a full eight-hour day. As for Lee students, many of them really didn’t mind sharing Sterling. Duke Gobert. a junior at Lee, explained, It really doesn’t matter to me as long as I graduate, though I would like to go back to Lee. Michael Rouse, a Lee senior, added. It’s alright except for the parking, even though I really don't enjoy it. There are some things in life you just have to do! The Lee students felt that jobs were a hard thing to find, with such odd school hours. Deneene Kelly, a Lee senior, added, It's hard to find a job when you need to work such weird hours. Many of the things Lee students did not like about Sterling were that, unlike Lee, Sterling has no win- dows in the classrooms. The parking lots were also a problem since many Sterling students did not vacate the campus due to after school activities. Overall, sharing the Sterling campus was not as bad as everyone has im- agined it would be, con- cluded Karen Smith, a sen- ior at Sterling. 10 .. .

Spirit Hangup’s out O ne thing that Ster- ling prided itself on was its school spirit. Students did everything from partici- pate in pep rallies, hang posters in the gym and at Stallworth Stadium, attend sports activities and any- thing else they could pos- sibly do to promote school unity. However, perhaps one of the first truly visible re- minders that Sterling shared its campus with Lee was the absence of spirit posters that decorated the commons, halls and lock- ers during football season. Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, stated. I don't like not be- ing able to hang posters, but there are some that would misuse and vandal- ize the signs. Angel deRoin. a junior, explained, I think hanging the posters in the halls helped people get more pepped up. Patti Mc- Cauley. sophomore, said. I think its drastic that we don't get to hang signs anymore. The signs always made us a little more ex- cited about the games. Since Sterling was a two- student-body school, there was no practical way for both schools to hang post- ers. However, this absence apparently did not dampen the spirits because the pep rallies were as lively and rowdy as before. Shadrick Patrick, a junior, said. The pep rallies show the football players that the school is behind them. Another junior. Pam Du- rant. said. The best part about the pep rallies is when the juniors win the spirit stick. Of the four pep rallies held, the spirit stick was won by the jun- iors at the first two rallies and won by the seniors the last two. During the four pep ral- lies, the cheerleaders per- formed a variety of activ- ities. These included dances, one of which was performed at the second pep rally to Prince's cur- rently-popular song, (J Got the Look. Lance Teel, a senior football player, joined the squad in leading the Rangers in the cheer, Color Shout, at the North Shore pep rally. Lance explained, I did it because I thought it would be a lot of fun to cheer to the student body. It also helped me to get ready for the game against the Mus- tangs. The reason for spirit, of course, was to promote at- tendance at sports activ- ities; in this respect, it served its purpose. Lisa Schaffer, sophomore, said. I attended the games to show my school spirit and to see my friends. Mr. Wachtel expressed his feelings on the spirit is- sue by saying, I think that the student body has more class than anyone would have thought.” Mrs. Janie Christian, assistant princi- pal. said, This year's dou- ble scheduling has been a challenge for all areas of our school, even spirit.” Spirit ... 13 lloMECOMIMG O 1 Ralph Brock.

Kerry’s caper T he spirit level was high as the Homecoming pep rally got underway and rumor circulated that a star football player was going to dance with the cheer- leaders. As it turned out. the rumor was true and Kerry Henderson, a senior, joined the cheerleaders and danced to the tune of ‘‘Tricky. Charisma Berry told me that the cheerleaders had something planned for the pep rally and asked me if I'd like to help out.” ex- plained Kerry. Since I catch on'to dancing pretty easy. I decided to go ahead and go for it.” The cheer- leaders and Kerry prac- ticed for two days. Sherry Larson, junior cheerleader, described Kerry as cool and fun to work with. The dance was the most exciting part about the pep rally, Sher- ry added. After the dance, Mr. Ed Wachtel stood up and went over to the microphone to begin his pep talk. After the game is over and you walk off the field, everyone will tell you that you played great. The only one who really knows, though, is you. If you do the best you can then you know that. So boys, lets go out there and play to the best of your abilities so that when you look in the mir- ror tomorrow you can say.'Hey, I played a great game' and you'll be proud. The game that night against Dobie was intense. Brian Gore, a junior, made a succesful 50-yard pass to Lee Fowler who then made the winning touchdown with only seven seconds left on the clock. The team felt that we had to win this game, Mark Giles, a senior, said, Nobody likes to lose,” he continued, especially their Homecoming game. (continued) 14 . . .

I was so happy that I almost cried! When I first heard my name being called out. I didn’t realize what had happened, Toni said. Then all of a sud- den it hit me — I won! Saturday, the night of the big dance, was hec- tic. I had so many things to do and so little time to do them, Rhonda Lee. a junior, said. Falling into Love was the theme and Ho- rizons provided the en- tertainment for the an- nual affair held in the commons. The music was good. Tracy Flo- rio, a junior, comment- ed.

Homecoming ... 17 Lee’s week T JL raditionally, spirit be- tween the two Baytown high schools peaked dur- ing the annual showdown known as The Game. This year was no excep- tion. but due to the fact that both shared the cam- pus, traditions were al- tered. Still, excitement reigned, even as the cross- town rivals gave the Rang- ers a beating that wouldn’t be forgotten for a long time. At the beginning of the week. It just didn't seem like Lee Week. It didn’t seem fair that we couldn't decorate like before,” said Missy Bargainer. However, by midweek, a compro- mise was agreed upon. Since the seniors had won the hall decorating contest their sophomore and junior years, Some seniors were frustrated with not being able to do anything, so some friends and I got Mr. Wachtel to agree with us that some- thing had to be done, said Gay-Lynn Hurta. Instead of the annual hall decorating competi- tion. the seniors, who ar- rived at school at 5 a.m. Friday, were put in charge of decorating the com- mons for the early pep ral- ly which was the only one of its kind during the sea- son. But by first period, the only remnant of the seni- ors’ work was the large poster with lyrics to The Might We Drove Ole’ Dixie Down hanging from the commons. However, the night be- fore the showdown, a bon- fire — not on the official school calendar of events — took place in a field by Cammie Wheeler’s home. Though there had been no spirit-generating fire since the Burning R In '84, this activity kept the embers of spirit alive. Dean Hanks, a senior, commented, We pooled our resources and with lots of hard work made Lee Week a reality.” (Continued, page 21) 18 ...

Lee Week P RIDE Lee’s week p i meality really set in Friday when the regular pep rally time approached. It nearly seemed like old times as the band marched through the halls playing “The Horse,” leading stu- dents to the gym where emotions ran high. Jeff Larson, a senior, comment- ed. “The cheering got so loud I could feel the gym shake from it.” Since this was a “special” occasion, special events were called for. Af- ter Mr. Ronnie Kluch, teacher and former coach, concluded his annual inspi- rational speech with a Beat the L out of R.E.L..” two assistant principals participated in a Pie-in-the- Face spectacle. As each sat atop a ladder with a cheerleader one step below holding a poised pie aimed, the fans were divid- ed into two sides and a spir- it contest to see who could generate the most noise be- gan. In a climactic mo- ment, both Mr. Jackie Crawford and Mr. Richard Miles were splattered squarely in the face as the pandemonium reached a feverous pitch. After the seniors won the spirit stick and closing cer- emonies concluded, all that was left was to remove the posters from the walls and get ready for the game. That night, representa- tives from Sterling's first graduating class met with members of the Good Sportsmanship League to assist with the pre-game activities. Then the game began . . . Almost from the very be- ginning. the Ganders, quite simply, took control and never looked back; the points against the Rangers got higher and higher. Ul- timately the score stopped at 41-14. On reflection. Mr. Ed Wachtel said, It took a lot for these kids to see tra- ditions put to an end and I'm proud to see they kept their spirit and pride up while having compassion for the Lee students.” In the end, it really was Lee’s week.

Numerous students attended Lee Week ... 21 One’s Chosen in the second week of February, four boys and four girls from each class were chosen by their class- mates to be elected class favorities. There was a cer- tain honor to sustain and each recipient had his own way to uphold his position. Kim Coleman, a junior, commented. ‘ I plan to stay the way I am. I love people and I love being nice because I feel great when I get their reaction. To some, there was a special feeling involved. It means that I'm liked by my classmates and that I'm looked up to by them, stated Aimee Lannou, a se- nior. Tien Nguyen, a junior, said. My friends are im- portant to me and to know that they elected me makes it a great honor. The best feeling of all was when you heard your name declared in the morning announcments. Amy Wikert. sophomore, stated. I was excited be- cause I knew it would be fun being one with my friends. There may have been no special task to perform but there was a sensation of self-respect to the school among those who were chosen. Britt Hurst, soph- omore. said, I plan to rep- resent the sophomores as best as I can. I like to lead by example, try to look the best that I can everyday and I always try to wear a smile. 22 . . .

Many people at Sterling are posters (picture perfect) and a lot of them think school is a fashion competition.” Some other popular items were hair fashion ac- cessories, big earings. plaid outfits and colored denim. Darla Martin, a junior, said that she liked the met- al ponytail holders because they give the ponytail a playful look. Last year. Angela Bar- ron. freshman, attended a private school and had to wear a uniform. Now that Angela's in a public school, she said she enjoyed every minute of shoppong for clothes. After wearing one outfit all of last year, and not being able to shop for new school clothes. Angela was excited at the prospect of being able to wear different things. There were many fash- ion-conscious people, but if someone wanted to know what outfits were in at this particular time and place, they could walk the halls of Sterling to find out.

These self- motivated exceptional stu- dents were known for their untiring contributions to the school. From among a mass of two thousand plus students, certain illuminat- ing qualities distinguished these. Grades were definitely a consideration. Ronnie Bounds commented. I think being in National Honor Society has helped me to keep my grades high and achieve this nomina- tion. Teachers remember what organizations most of their students are involved with in these types of elec- tions.” Possibly the most obvi- ous requirement of a Ster- ling Citizen was that of set- ting a good example. “The kind of kid we re looking for in a Sterling Citizen is someone a faculty mem- ber can delegate a task to and know, without a doubt, it will be done, de- scribed Mrs. Sheryl Ward, senior counselor. The same faculty mem- ber stressed that the model Sterling Citizen was some- one who involved himself in various extracurricular activities, usually in a lead- ership role. Lance Teel ad- vised. Coming to Sterling can be pretty scary for freshmen. But if you have a fear, you need to tackle it straight on; I've been in Student Council since I was a freshman and it’s re- ally helped me! Last, but not least, among these requirments was a cooperative attitude. Mrs. Carolyn Saunders, English teacher, re- vealed.’A person who is caring and compassionate toward fellow classmates has enormous impact on the student body and teachers. In closing, Mr. Frank Hutchins, assistant princi- pal, surmised. I can truth- fully say that these people don’t get elected because of popularity. It takes a special quality that has to come from inside, to be a Sterling Citizen. Other� include John Culp. Ronnie ability. How well your general person- Bounds.

When the curtain opened to the sound of “I’ve Had the Time of My Life,” the set for the as- sembly was revealed. The stage was decorated with trees covered with colorful balloons and the platform was trimmed in yellow and purple satin ribbon. Applause echoed through the auditorium as the men's choir ensemble ended its a cappella ver- sion of Five Foot Two, one of several tunes sung by various people. After pictures by the yearbook staff and parents were taken, the atmo- sphere relaxed and the court members let loose and popped some bal- loons. The assembly left court members with feelings of pleasure, surprise and pride. Wayne Marshall, a senior, said, The an- nouncement came as a wonderful surprise and made me feel like the peo- ple at school liked me enough to elect me.” Chris Riggs, sophomore, said, It was a fun expe- rience and an honor to be looked upon by my fellow students like that. Brian Harris, freshman, really summed up what it was to be a court member. He said, It was a privilege to be in It. The Court: (front) Karlin Thomson. Duke; Rodney Rios. Lance Mile.

The shared campus situation forced meetings to be held either before school or in the afternoons. Marshall McKay, National Honor So- ciety co-president, noted, “The atten- dance is good and participation is ex- cellent. The members are willing to work more than in past years. Due to first semester's unusual situation, problems were created for fund-raisers. “People were inconvenienced by having to pick up candy at 6:30 a.m., and the others in after-school functions had problems with picking up candy after school at noon, commented Marshall. Referring to the Keywanettes Homecoming project, Mrs. Elaine Hall stated, “It was difficult to get everyone together to make mums and collect funds. Commenting about the groups that did continue to thrive before going back to regular schedule, Mrs. Christian com- mented, “We want to especially thank the sponsors and faculty who helped us through this difficult time by showing us we could cope with the many problems. Regardless of the time of day or the ex- tremity of the situation, the part of the student body that chose to be involved made the best of it. Joining ... 31 Two as one it gave me chills. TT he Sterling Silver Spec- tacular. a group com- posed of both the Stars and the band, performed at football games and set the stage for a truly spectac- ular year. In October, the group, for the first time ever, per- formed together in the (J.I.L. marching contest. Together this group re- ceived a first division award. Ms. Therese Morton, di- rector. stated. The best moment I remember this year was at the contest. When I saw them perform- ing, it gave me chills watching them. They were great! Toward the end of Feb- ruary. the Stars took their annual trip. Their destina- tion was Mew Orleans where they participated in the Marching Auxiliary of America Drill Dance Team Competition. They re- ceived perfect first divi- sions for their three per- formances along with other awards for choreog- raphy. They were also named one of the top five drill teams at the contest. This contest qualified them for state competition in Clear Lake during March. Summer practices for the Stars began in August, two weeks before the foot- ball players began their practices. During these practices, they learned many different routines that they would perform with the band during foot- ball season. When school started, the band and Stars prac- ticed together for two and one half hours after school each day. Ms. Morton said, We’re lucky it didn’t rain because with Lee here, we wouldn’t have been able to use the commons.” Donna Liska, a senior Star officer, said. I really like officer camp and sing- ing 'Baytown By Morning’ led by Missy Bargainer.” Ms. Morton said. I think the coming together of these two groups has been very positive. We've turned many heads with our performances. The groups really seem to com- pliment each other! 32 .. . Stars During one of many after school session , the Stars practice the ladder routine.

Ladies and Gentlemen Under the field direc- tion of Drum Major Steven Murray and Assis- tant Drum Major Ronnie Bounds, Sterling High School is proud to pres- ent the Sterling Silver Spectacular — The Ster- ling Stars and the Ster- ling Ranger Band. T his was heard at the be- ginning of each football game halftime, when both the Stars and the band per- formed together as one unit all the time, even at marching contest. This was just one of the changes in the band this year. Fans cheered to many exciting halftime shows done to snappy tunes like Coconut Champagne and Oye Como Va. One show was done to Bon Jovi’s hit Livin’ On a Prayer which featured the Stars precision corps. The theme song to the hit movie. La Bamba. fea- tured the twirlers in a smashing routine that re- ceived a standing ovation. This was my first year as a twirler and I loved it, commented Amy Stuart, sophomore. I loved twirl- ing with Rhonda, Kim and Cindy. A James Bond 007 theme was used for con- test containing such songs as 007, From Russia with Love, Live and Let Die and Nobody Does it Better. The band received a first division in G.I.L. marching contest. In February, selected students went to solo and ensemble contest held at Clear Creek High School. After this event, students and directors concentrated on G.I.L. concert contest held in April. The band traveled to Sam Rayburn High School to compete in this competition. I feel we did pretty well this year considering that the music we played was brand new, commented Gina Gard, a senior. The band trip to Dallas was the final competition of the year. The group competed with other bands from across the state and other states as well. The students also had many fund-raisers for the trip. The selling of mag- azines and little gifts for Christmas were among the more popular. The most popular was the selling of candy. Everyone loves candy! said Kevin Jen- nings, a junior. It sells real fast.” The oyster fry and band banquet, both annually held, rounded out the year. This year has been fun,” stated D'Ann Proctor, a senior. Being a field of- ficer has been worth my four years in band. Band: (front) Amy Stuart. Cindy Kates. Kim Reed. (?) Gina Gard. Veronica Molin Shannon Hobbins, Kari Johnson.

Cor the first time ever, the selection of the cheerleaders was done by judges rather than a pop- ular vote from the student body; therefore. Mrs. Claire Bays, sponsor, ex- pected more skill from the squad. Most of the girls agreed with this method and felt it would improve their skills. Jennifer Copeland, a se- nior and co-head cheer- leader, said, It has bet- tered the squad because the judges went by teacher recommendations, grades and ability. They picked a good group of girls who have positive attitudes. During tryouts, different feelings were generated. Angel Rains, a junior, said, The student body encour- aged me to do better and the judges didn't respond to my hyperactions. The idea of being judged and selected for the squad was welcomed by most rather than being elected by the student body. Sherry Lar- son, a junior, said. When you try out in front of the student body, nobody re- ally knows what to expect of a cheerleader. On the other hand, judges know exactly what they’re look- ing for. Being a cheerleader meant something different to nearly everyone. To Pat- ti McCauley, sophomore, Being a cheerleader is the best thing that ever hap- pened to me.” but to An- gel. It's a sport that keeps me in shape. At football games, bas- ketball games and even volleyball matches, the cheerleaders performed what they had practiced on for many hours. Lori Nel- son, a senior, said, Everyone thinks cheer- leaders are a bunch of girls that get out there to look cute and to wear the uni- form. We worked hard for our position and really try when we work. Everyone thinks we don’t do any- thing. We are the only team that worked as much as we did. As a year of changes drew to an end. the overall feeling for the year was good. Aimee Lannou, a senior, described her year as Special, while Patti saw it as Different. An- gel and Lori thought it was Challenging,” and Charis- ma Berry, a senior and co- head cheerleader, thought it was Fun. Their feelings may have been individual, but their efforts weren't. Lori said. We practiced together and worked as a team; we weren't individuals out there for fun. On the sidelines at one of the football games, the cheerleaders try to keep the momentum of the game going with Go Big Blue as the team prepares to kick off. Photo by J. Culp.

A s the year began, the “traditional “peck, peck, peck of a typewrit- er had vanished and the click, click, click of a computer had taken its place. Learning how to use one and incorporating its use in the yearbook pro- duction created a hectic at- mosphere. This, and shar- ing the same facilities with the Lee Traveler presented the Governor staff mem- bers with the perfect theme, Making the Best of It, and that is exactly what they attempted to do. At the beginning of the year, the situation went well with Lee using room 238 and the large dark- room, and Sterling using room 237 and the small darkroom. When we worked after school, we had no problems with the Lee staff. In fact, we be- came pretty good friends, Ju� t days before a deadline, Mr. Patrick Reilly offers help on a layout to Troy Bryant, a senior and three-year student of journalism. Troy concentrat- ed on the sports pages of the yearbook. Photo by G. Monroe. explained Mr. Patrick Reil- ly, adviser. When second semester started and the final dead- line was just a few weeks away, the work began pil- ing up. Staff members found it difficult to pull to- gether their work and get it entered into the computer. This was a completely new step in yearbook pro- duction and so we all learned at the same time, commented Mr. Reilly. After attempting to co- ordinate all the necessary steps and the work was fi- nally completed, the staff had taken its first tentative steps into the computer age. It was quite an ex- perience. said Mr. Reilly. We encountered many problems that I couldn't even imagine before, but we really did try and make the best of it. 40 . . .

Choir Art of the Soul We had to help each other. A sking the choirs of two rival high schools to work under the same roof was a task that neither choirs were eager to at- tempt. However, the out- come was an extremely har- monic Christmas concert. Wayne Marshall, a senior, re- flected. Being blended to- gether in the same building turned out to be a real mu- sical and emotional learning experience. The first semester found the choir learning its perfor- mance limitations and de- clining some normally fea- sible invitations. But the annual Christmas visit to Hermann Hospital was one tradition that these singers had no intention of breaking. Because there was so little time to prepare. Mrs. Xina Stone, director, appointed section leaders to work after school with the sections. We had to help each other. Wayne explained. Relying on sight rather than sound to guide them through new pieces of music was probably the most dif- ficult adjustment of all. Nisha Tholstrup. a senior and section leader, com- mented, Accompanists are the backbone of any choir. Losing ours, on a daily basis, made the seniors polish up on their sight-reading; it also made things twice as hard on the freshmen and youn- ger members. Cookie and mug sales were fund-raising efforts which helped raise revenues to finance shirts and contest entry fees. When regular schedule resumed, personal and group CJ.I.L. contests re- mained important priorities for the remainder of the year. Finally. Wayne noted. Myself and other senior choir members took the job of tutoring the freshmen. Learning the meaning of the word together was what helped us make the best out of this year. Looking back, Mrs. Stone commented. Of course it was unfortunate that we only had 45 minute class periods, and a choir of mostly fresh- men to work with, but music is the art of the soul and art is not interested in excuses, only quality work.

Mr. Phil Hilson came to Sterling during his confer- ence period at Horace Mann Junior School to help Mr. Dennis Eichler, di- rector. in his efforts to di- rect the groups. “I appre- ciate his help.1' Mr. Eichler stated. “Splitting the class enabled us to get lots of work done. Extra practice out of school was the main pri- ority on orchestra stu- dents' minds. With the shortened schedule first semester, practice after school was essential in maintaining good playing. “In the past, we’ve always had ample time to prac- tice,” said Mr. Eichler. “Now with the shortened class, students must prac- tice on their own so we can work out the tedious stuff in school. Along with concerts and (J.I.L. competition, stu- dents also prepared for All- Region and All-Area try- outs. Teresa Rollo. Angela Stipe. Patrica Brown, Nyree Doucette. Dawn Carter and Jonathon Barr all made the All-Region Or- chestra. As well as making All-Region, Harold Matthews, a senior, made All-Area and submitted a tape for the State Orches- tra tryouts. Fund-raisers included selling magazines and can- dy. Working inventories at local stores also helped raise money for the group. In February, solo and ensemble contest was held, followed by G.I.L. and the end-of-the-year con- cert. “It has been a very rewarding year. stated Mr. Eichler. “The students have been great to work with and they performed well. 44 . ..

Exchange planned T he R.O.T.C. unit served as a host to British Ma- jor Christopher Saward, of- ficer commanding the Suf- folk Army Cadet Force in England. The visit was in conjunction with the final planning for an exchange of cadets between Sterling and the United Kingdom. This exchange — set for the summer of 1988 — was in the planning for over a year and was The first of its kind in the na- tion, stated Capt. R.A. Corral. He also stated, So far this year, we have won 47 trophies. We have sev- en more competitions to go and I'm sure we ll bring home more. There were many rea- sons that students joined the award-winning organ- ization. Shannon Hedger, a senior, stated, I plan to pursue a career in the Ma- rine Corps as an officer. I thought R.O.T.C. would give me a good insight on what the corps is like. Shannon continued, R.O.T.C. is leadership ed- ucation. It can be applied to business as well as the military. He concluded, “The thing I like most about R.O.T.C. is wearing my uniform. It allows me to show my pride in my unit as well as in my school. Greg Griffin, a senior, concluded. Now I am on the delayed entry program for the Marines. With this four years in R.O.T.C., I get promoted to PFC. as soon as I get out of basic train- ing. R.O.T.C ... 47 Promoting good will “I think I have the ability to lead. The Student Council, along with the Good Sportsmanship League, worked to promote the school in positive ways. Robert Vinyard. a senior Student Council member, explained, We worked to strenghten the school with- in the confines of its own walls. The G.S.L. worked to- gether with other schools to try and improve our re- lationships by meeting with our counterparts at the football games, said Toni Monacy. a senior member. I always wanted to hold the office of student body president, because 1 think I have the ability to lead as well as be an example, remarked Ralph Brock, Student Council president. Margarita Moreno re- plied, Being in the G.S.L. means being part of one of the most wholesome or- ganizations on campus. It makes me feel like I'm re- ally doing something to help promote the best in sports. The Student Council provided needy families with food during the hol- iday season and the mem- bers set up the Homecom- ing Dance in addition to other school social func- tions. The G.S.L. had a really tough job this year to keep good relations with Lee High School, commented LeAnn Haddox, a G.S.L. member. The Student Council and the Good Sportsman- ship League have proved to be two of the most use- ful groups in the school. I hope that we can keep get- ting people like we have been in the groups; they do a great job, said Ms. Alicia Talley, an English teacher.

They both contributed to making the Ranger support- ers feel more welcome. ex- plained Sgt. David Aiken. Octagon sponsor. The N.H.S. helped out by selling football programs at the home games. Other ac- tivities the group participat- ed in were selling candy, de- livering a Thanksgiving basket to a needy family in the community, and induct- ing new members by having a candlelight ceremony. The funds raised were do- nated to the Shriner's Burn Institute and used for schol- arships for three senior members.” The Octagon Club also contibuted in its own way. Although a small group, it was a hard-working unit. They assisted the cheer- leaders, Stars and the band with various activities. Car- ing for the Ranger Man and getting the gym ready for pep rallies were also re- sponsibilities of this club. Daniel Tarver, a senior Octagon Club member, ex- plained. I feel this group is like a family; everybody works as a team. If there is work to be done, we are there to lend a helping hand.” Each organization made the school a better place to attend. Just being a mem- ber of the Octagon Club made me feel needed and useful. concluded James Miller, a junior. National Honor 8o iety: (front) DovkJ Sandate. Robert Vinyard. Margarita Moreno.

The two clubs, spon- sored by Kiwanis Interna- tional, worked together and individually in several successful projects. As with other clubs, the two groups had to work around the new schedule during the first semester's shared-campus situation. Sharing schools with Lee made meeting times a lot more inconvenient,” said Jason Donovan. Key Club president. Times were re- ally pushed and shortened for everything we tried to accomplish, he conclud- ed. Although the size of the Key Club was smaller than usual, the boys had no problem getting things done. One project that in- volved both groups was collecting aluminum cans to help save the Battleship Texas and to help the Bay- town Rehabilitation Center. About other activities, Mrs. Elaine Hall. Key- wanette sponsor, stated, We’ve done more this year for the football team than ever. Every Friday we gave the varsity football players appreciation treats. Along with the art classes, we made the wooden signs that went in each of their yards. We also made the second run through poster for the Friday night foot- ball games. We had a blast! Missy Bargainer, Key- wanette president, con- cluded, We were able to turn our club around from its deficit year in 1987 to a money-making organiza- tion which enabled us to help the community in many more productive ways.” 52 .. .

Anchor Interact A variety of ways I wanted to get involved ... lubs such as the Junior Rotary Anns (J.R.A’s), Anchor and Interact helped represent Sterling in a va- riety of ways. J.R.A. member Belinda Hodges, a junior, comment- ed. Our club has helped the community by donating money to the Bay Area Re- habilitation Center.” Other activities in which the club participated in- cluded fund-raisers. Amy Wikert, sophomore, stated. “We have two fund-raisers this year, which were sell- ing small gifts and operat- ing the concession stand during bastketball games to help support the teams and feed the fans.” She also added. “We helped raise money for scholarships at the end of the year.” About the Anchor Club. Janelle Smith, a senior, commented. ”1 wanted to get involved with a social club to help serve our com- munity.” Anchor Club activities included keeping the me- morial fountain flower bed clean, taking small gifts to sick children in hospitals and visiting day care centers for underprivileged children during Christmas. Referring to the Interact Club. Brad Kennedy, said. My friends were in it and I thought it would be fun to join a club so I could gain experience in dealing with the community. Interact participated in activities such as giving a party for the kids at the Bay Area Rehabilitaion Center, helping out during the school-wide food drive and collecting food to pro- vide for needy families. Our biggest accom- plishment was the party we gave for the kids at the re- habilitation center. The kids seemed to really enjoy it.” commented Mr. Tom- my Yates. Interact Club sponsor.

Top sellers set prize 1 sure could use the scholarship money.” | anguage clubs thrived “with both German and French Clubs selling candy to support activities. Prizes were awarded to club members selling the most candy. Lance Freeman, a German Club member, said. I get hungry in class, so I found myself eating my way into debt.” The German Club re- ceived its candy late, mak- ing the group unable to at- tend competitions. The excess funds were planned for next school year. Chris McQueen, a senior, said, Even though we didn’t go to a contest, it was still a fun year.” French Club funds went mostly toward college scholarships for senior members. Shannon Land, a French Club senior who boasted a third place finish for the fund-raising drive, stated, ”1 sure could use the scholarship money next year at A M. Who knows? I might get lucky. Somebody will.” 56 . ..

Kelly Plato, a senior F.C.A. and C.S.U. member, said of F.C.A., I love the Lord, and organizations like F.C.A. allow Christians to grow and to help each oth- er spiritually. Jan Harris commented.

Beyond the classroom I learned a lot!” Many students joined clubs where they could possibly win awards or spe- cial recognition. Students Against Driving Drunk, Ac- ademic Decathlon and Fu- ture Teachers of America were included in this cat- egory. S.A.D.D. allowed stu- dents to become aware of the hazards of drunk driv- ing. Steven Murray, a sen- ior and president, said, I feel as if I have dedicated myself to a worthwhile cause. It's very possible that through S.A.D.D.'s success, we have saved at least one life, and that is certainly worth the time in- volved. People joined S.A.D.D. to help others, but some people joined clubs to help themselves: F.T.A. was one such club. Tammy Kenne- dy. a senior, commented, I enjoyed F.T.A. because I want to become a teacher and this was a way for me to see what it will be like. Jennifer Copeland, a se- nior, said. “I have learned what it is really like to be a teacher.” Other students joined Academic Decathlon. They learned about 10 different areas of competition. Misty Cowart, a junior, said. I learned a lot! It really helped me in other subjects and I know things I wouldn’t have learned in school otherwise.” All three of these organ- izations offered a learning experience beyond the classroom. Being a mem- ber of any of these groups taught different things to each member. Steven Bish- op, a junior and A.D. mem- ber. commented. I learned how airplanes fly, what to say on an interview and how money works. After one year as a member of S.A.D.D., Angela Traylor, freshman, said. I feel as if I have saved some friends. As her year in F.T.A. en- ded, Tammy, said, I've learned a lot of things about teachers and I've realized the differences between special and regular educa- tion. Students in F.T.A. take part in different activities with their student� throughout the year. Sitting in a hall at Pumphrey Elementary.

Ilf hen it came to acting, public speaking or de- bating a situation, speech, drama and debate students usually delivered. In the drama depart- ment. The production of All American was a great success. stated Lori Trim, president of the club. Mike Chesser, a junior, added. We. as a cast, made a great production from a near-disastrous situation. Through yelling, fighting, tears and frustration, we pulled together, not only as a cast, but as a functioning family unit. Angela Green, a senior, explained, The production went well. It was hard work. We gave up many hours of free time for it. But. when the applause came it was all worth it! Mrs. Billie Thompson, the new Drama Club spon- sor. said, I sincerely ap- preciate the encourage- ment and support I have received from the faculty, staff and students here in Rangerland,' especially Mr. Wachtel. He’s the Number One Ranger! In other ac- tivities, the club also sold 64 . . . Speech. Drama Debate Southwest Conference spirit mugs to raise money for the year. The debate team al- ways has someone in the group that gives 110 per- cent at tournaments and in class. This year that honor belongs to Kathryn Rowl- and and Allison Mendoza, both seniors. Mr. Bryan Borah remarked. He then added. But this is the best group of Lincoln-Douglas debaters to ever walk through Sterling's doors. In speech, students not only read famous speeches or recited poems, they also wrote their own stories and worked on presenting them publicly. Mrs. Ann Brun- son. speech teacher, stat- ed. I like to watch the stu- dents that come through my class grow from being shy and timid, to being confident when they are speaking amongst many people. In these groups, students strived to improve their dif- ferent skills. Referring to her group. Mrs. Brunson concluded. It teaches you a lesson in life. Carrying out every teacher's wildest dream.

Gotten Part of the community The split sessions were good ... ” Deing a part of Coordi- nated Vocational Aca- demic Education and Dis- tributive Education Clubs of America meant being part of the working com- munity. Since school lasted half a day for the first semester, the students had more time to work and make more money. Ginger Edwards, a senior in D.E.C.A., stated. The split sessions were good because I had a lot of time between school and work to do whatever I needed.” However, D.E.C.A. and C.V.A.E. didn’t mean all work and no play. Fund raisers, field trips, contests and guest speakers were also included In the pack- age. Chris Wilson, a senior and vice president of C. V.A.E., commented, In order to pay for contests and field trips, we sold cou- pon books and candy. Mrs. Claire Bays. D. E.C.A. sponsor, talked about the success of the school store. The new lo- cation in front of the homemaking department has helped the business. Mr. Wachtel and I realized that where the school store was located before, and the limited amount of time between classes, it would be a good idea to change the location. Yet, the Lee Sterling situation had nothing to do with moving the store. Reasons for enrolling in these groups varied. I joined D.E.C.A. because I worked at Foley’s in the summer and wanted to continue to work there throughout the year, said Connie Ray. a senior. I wouldn’t have gotten many hours if I worked af- ter school. Both programs helped benefit the students.

Whether it was metal trades, auto mechanics or auto body, each class was made on the students cre- ative ideas.

Gmail Engine Repair, Building Trades and Welding were just three of the courses offered to stu- dents who liked to work with their hands. These courses also prepared the students for a promising future. Karl Fretty, a senior, commented, This has to be the best year yet for small engine repair. We had our hands full, doing everything from messing with lawn mower engines to tearing down a full car engine. Over at the Stuart Ca- reer Center, which is where building trades and welding class were held, students learned proper welding procedures and all of the various aspects of con- structing a building. Carlos Gonzales, a jun- ior. learned a lot this year in building trades. I now know how to pour con- crete, build a garage and construct a house. Hope- fully. one day. I'll be able to build my dream home, he said. Welding member. Al- fanso Rodriquez, a senior, commented, Welding is a trade you can use later on in life.

Hands-on training I like working with people. Cosmetology, electron- ics and horticulture were courses geared to- ward students who were interested in vocational ca- reers. Cosmetology students concentrated in personal appearances. Maria Luna, a senior, stated, 'I like working with people and making them look better.'' All of their techniques were put to use during compe- titions at various colleges. Explained Angie Shafer, a senior, We competed at San Jacinto College in No- vember and March. Of- fering advice, Angie con- tinued. If any students (male or female) are think- ing about a career in cos- metology, R.S.S. is a good place to start.” Horticulture students participated in the planting and cultivation of an an- nual garden and concen- trated on growing projects that later went on to com- petition at the Baytown Youth Fair. Jeb Beaty, a senior, stated. I like going to competitions and seeing all the different and unique displays of plants. This of- ten helps me to create new ideas of my own. The fund-raisers includ- ed selling Boston ferns and potted poinsettias before Christmas. These funds went toward buying addi- tional seeds and plants to go on to competitions which were held in March and April. Electronics was ex- plained well by Patrick Guidry, a junior, Electronics is learning the basic parts of complex ma- chines, how they work and what makes them tick. Michelle Holden, a sen- ior, said she was interested in the class because. The electronics field is a stable, high-paying career that is easy to move up in. This field also means that you will always have to go back for more education to learn faster, newer and easier methods just discovered. Whether it was planting a rose bed, giving a new look to an old style, or re- pairing a television, all of these students got hands- on training in the vocation- al field of their choice.

Office Services students worked on projects and skills they could possibly use after graduation. In Data Processing, stu- dents learned a lot about different types of comput- er languages. The students worked with the most common ones like Fortran, Basic and Cobal. Joseph Hector, a senior, said. I feel that I should learn more about languages be- cause it seems like every- thing is becoming com- puterized and if we don't keep up with today’s ad- vances. we could fall be- hind. 80 . ..

Monroe w W W ith the entire afternoon open for practice, fall sports results weren't less than expected. The respect the team had for its coach had a great deal to do with the season's results. Les Strickland, a se- nior athlete, commented, If you can re- spect your coach, he'll like you. but when you start to doubt him, he can tell and it can go against you in a very bad way. Most coaches gave their athletes a lunch break before beginning practice. Mike Maroney, a senior swimmer, said, We get a break to relax then come back and swim until we drop! However, some students didn’t as Sherri Bates, a senior, explained. I had to bring something from home to eat before volleyball. The altered practice schedule didn't af- fect the varsity water polo team members as they earned a third in state; on the other hand, varsity football earned a fourth place finish in district despite a 41- — 14 loss to Lee. After the practice times were back to normal, spring sports continued in its own Sterling way. Both varsity basketball teams made the playoffs and both teams had to win their last games to earn a spot. Derek Haywood, a senior, sank a free throw with three seconds left to give them a spot in the playoffs. Derek commented, I was cool. I felt no pressure. I knew what I had to do and I did it. With all the altered schedules, and other changes, most athletes chose to make the best of it.

Culp. Tough, luck sees fourth place finish Qames of misfortune turned the varsity foot- ball season performances into a fourth place finish. The Rangers were in the running down to the final game; however, the tough luck ended with a district record of 4-3. CJntil the loss to Lee, the total point difference in the first three losses was 11 points against Port Neches Groves. North Shore and Deer Park. The Rangers could have been preparing for playoffs if things had gone differ- ently. Head Coach Gaylord Fenley said, I wish we had had a few more things go our way. We could have used a little more luck. Going into the first dis- trict game with a 2-1 re- cord, the Rangers fell short against the third-place Mustangs. Coach Fenley said. The ball was tipped against North Shore for the game-ending interception. Why didn't it fall to the ground and give us another down? It's those kind of things that hurt us. The Rangers only break came across in the Home- coming win over the first- place Dobie Longhorns. With the score tied, and only seven seconds left in the game, Brian Gore threw a 55-yard pass to Lee Fowler to win the game. Lee said, Catching this pass is what you only dream of; I never thought it would happen to me! The team went on to beat the Texans in a 40-0 shut out. Deer Park was next, only to stop the Rangers late in the game on a pass tipped three times before the Deer came down with it to win. Still in the play-off race, the Rangers demolished Pasadena 54-7, only to have their hopes vanish in the final loss to Lee. The Rangers didn't keep up with the Sterling winning tradition with a hard loss to the crosstown rivals. Lee scored on its first offensive position and never looked back. Mike Powell, defen- sive back, said. It was the toughest loss throughout the four years of football I've played. We worked so hard every year to get to this game and everything just fell apart.” (Continued, page 87) 84 . . . Varsity Football Varsity Football: (Pont) Joe Hector Kerry Henderson. Chuck Washington.

The Game has been played between Ross S. Sterling and Robert E. Lee. Lee won the first four, while the Rangers took the next five. Sterling has gone 6-4-2 since then. Chuck Washington, fullback, said. “Since I was little I've wanted to play in the Lee- Sterling game. I Just wished things turned out different than they did. From the game, the Ranger's Chevron Most Valuable Player Award went to Kerry Henderson for the second time. He ran for over 100 yards in the game for his 10th consec- utive time during the sea- son. Even without a district- winning season, Sterling players made it successful in different ways. I feel district good about the season. Coach Fenley said. We had a great group of kids and it was a real pleasure to work with them. They did everything we asked of them and they were great to be around. The team averaged 340 yards of offense a game compared to 240 yards the year before. The quarter- backs passed for over 1,000 yards while Kerry did the same rushing for the third straight year. Defense was a solid unit while ranking first in dis- trict and in the top 20 in the Houston area. Kerry, a tailback, said. The big- gest difference in the past year was the closeness we had as a team. We played hard each game for each other. Varsity Football ... 87 Varsity Volleyball: (front) Bofbara Stevenson.

Second round loss upsets district plans oing into the season, the varsity volleyball team had a chance at the district title. With team work and togetherness, the team accomplished several victories which resulted in a district record of 10-4. Nicole Smith, a junior, said, I think we played well, be- cause we believe team suc- cess comes before personal glory. Each player had about equal ability and skill which made no one player better than the other. Many new talents com- bined with seven veterans to create a successful sea- son. I think we surprised everyone but ourselves. The Baytown Sun ranked us in fifth place and Lee, of course, on top. It turned out to be exactly the opposite, commented Shari Don Her- rington. a senior and cap- tain of the team. The highlight of the sea- son occurred when the Lady Rangers beat Deer Park in the first round 15- 10 and 16-14, which put them in first place. The squad remained in first place until an overwhelm- ing upset by Dobie in the second round. The game was a battle between two teams that wanted to be the icing on the cake. If only we had won. we would have been all by ourselves,” Shannon Land, a senior, explained. It was a stay-up' or a 'let- down' situation. We wanted it so bad, but the wind blew their way. The last game of the sea- son, Lee developed the mo- mentum to win and suc- ceeded. This loss for the Lady Rangers took away any chance of advancing to the playoffs. We looked shaky at first; I don't know why because they weren’t any better than we were. Though it was the agony of defeat, we will always show our Ranger pride. re- marked Shannon. During preseason, the Rangers placed in two of the three tournaments in which they participated. They won Consolation at La Porte and second at Conroe.

Four players make All-State squad I f there was one thing the varsity water polo play- ers had their share of. it was challenges — the kind that enabled them to place five players in the first team All-Region and four on the All-State team. The ultimate challenge, however, came at the State Championship meet in San Antonio, where they placed third. “We had to keep telling ourselves that everyone was up against us because of winning state last year, and we had to play that much harder to win.” commented Mi- chael Maroney. a senior. Working around the shortened schedule seemed to be the greatest training challenge. Michael stated, ”The altered prac- tices helped because we didn’t practice right after school. Practicing at 1:30 p.m. gave us some time off, so we weren't dead when practice started.” Survival of the restruc- tured practices gave the team the competitive edge it needed to capture the Houston Regional Cham- pionship for the fourth consecutive year, and to end the season with a 19-2 record. Unanimously, the team felt the climatic game of the season was the semi- final confrontation against Marshall at the state com- petition. “The worst game of the season had to be the one against Marshall. We were the better team, but we did not play as a team, and we lost,” said Michael. Concluding the season. Coach Landgraf recalled, When your goal is win- ning the State Champion- ship. placing third is a dis- appointment . . . but only a fool would fail to recognize the exceptional quality of this team.” “We had a potent of- fense . . . with the ability to muscle in the ball from two meters or shoot from the perimeter. We were capa- ble of scoring from any- where at any time!” 92 .. .

Ultimately, the girls were defeated by Clear Creek in the first round of playoffs but. ac- cording to Coach Patti Rau.

Our goal for this game is to go out and do the very best we are ca- pable of doing. The girls played hard but came up short. The team reached the playoffs when it defeated Lee in the last district game. Having to beat Lee in order to gain a playoff position was tough but, The girls rose to the oc- casion and defeated Lee 48-41.” explained Coach Rau. This victory gave them a second place dis- trict finish with a 10-4 re- cord. The Lady Rangers be- gan pre-season with two wins, but immediatley fell into a losing streak in which their opponents out- scored them 448-353.

The girls found their confidence in the next game as they defeated Humble by a whopping 54 points. 83-29. This confidence carried over into district play as the girls won their first four games. Sherri Bates, a sen- ior. commented, I feel that we have a great chance of finishing first or second. It will be tough to beat Deer Park. Deer Park handed the girls their first loss. The Lady Rangers won their next two games and then found themselves in a “must win” situation. This was a game we had to win in order to go to the playoffs, said Coach Rau.

Coach Bill Partin commented. “The team had all the talent needed to be district champs.” During the fall semester, the split schedule had little affect on the tennis team’s practice time. Practice time was started at noon, and was even extended an hour with the extra time available during the after- noon. Shannon Aquilar, a junior, explained. Since we practiced at noon and it got a little hot. we were able to get water whenever needed.” With only one senior, the Rangers were the youngest boys' team in the varsity district playing. My only dissappointment this year was getting beat by Lee.” said Britt Hurst, sophomore. He continued. Besides that loss. I feel good about the tennis team's performance as a whole.

Allison Haver, a senior, said, She really worked on strategy. Allison con- tinued, That really helped me in singles. While the courts behind the school weren't the grassy ones found at Wim- bledon or surrounded by cheering spectators like the G.S.

Gndersquad Football Various records mark undersquads oming through once again, the junior varsity football team members came out on top when they tied for the district championship. At the same time, the other un- dersquad teams had var- ious season records. The season was tough for us; we didn’t get as much practice time as the other schools, but the boys worked hard and did the best that they could.” commented Mr. Bill Thorn- ton. freshman coach. The J.V. members post- ed a 9-1 recofd, as they were on top for the third straight year. Their only loss came at the hands of the Dobie Longhorns. “Dobie was a strong team. They just overpowered us. They were strong.” com- mented Tim Copeland, a junior. We had a real close season but we came out winning.” said Chris Riggs, sophomore team member. The season ended at 4-3-1 for the sophomores. A 27- 0 win over Pasadena was the turning point in the season. The two freshman teams had almost opposite seasons according to Coach Bruce Paulus. We worked hard, we won and we deserved it,” stated Da- vid Cormier, silver team member. This team came out with an 8-2 record. On the other hand, the blue team didn't do quite so well and posted a 3-7 rank. We all practiced together this year. Something just went wrong with the blue,” said Alfredo Alfaro, a blue team member. “Some of our teams did good, and some of them did bad. but it's all part of life, learning about winning and losing.

Coach Nadine Horne’s girls bumped, set and spiked their way to a perfect 24-0 record. Coach Horne com- mented. “Even though we had to stay after school un- til 2:30 because of the shortened schedule, it was well worth the effort. Leading the way for the team was Tammy Ward. Amanda Ball and Jennifer Bellomy, all freshmen. These three girls, and the rest of the team, proved to themselves and everyone else that if you set your mind to something that you can do it. Following close behind was the junior varsity vol- leyball and basketball teams. These two teams finished second in district. The junior varsity girls, coached by Ms. Jan Strubbe, finished second to Dobie. The team had its ups and downs, but they did a great job overall. The spotlight was on Grace- Anne McKay, freshman, who said. “Winning wasn’t the only thing on my mind; just being part of the junior varsity was a thrill itself. Finishing first with a re- cord of 24-4 was the fresh- man basketball team. The team only lost one in dis- trict play to North Shore. Amanda Ball, freshman, said. The bad thing about this season was losing to North Shore midway through the season. Ms. Strubbe stated. The girls did an excellent job — their record proves that. Coach Horne’s girls im- proved with each game. There were a few new fac- es like freshmen Tammy and Grace-Ann who helped the J.V. to a season of suc- cess.

Their places improved somewhat during the sea- son but not as high as were hoped for. With only three members on the J.V. team. Coach Drew Dunlap stat- ed. 'The J.V. was at a ma- jor disadvantage because there were so few runners, but we made the best of it. The freshman team faired somewhat better than the J.V., placing sec- ond at the District 23-5A meet. I was really proud of them. Coach Dunlap said. The first semester schedule didn't prove to be a major factor in the team’s performances. Practices were held early in the mornings before school. Todd Winterton, freshman, stated, We still got in the same amount of practice time, half-day or not. Coach Dunlap conclud- ed. Always be the best runner you can possibly be in all workouts. And be better than that in meets. 108 ... Undersquad Cross Country Junior Varsity Cross Country: Ste- phen Holley. Corey Stewart. Paul Reed Pholo by L. Myers. Cross Country Dobie Inv.

D ue to the shortened schedule, teach- ers had less time to teach and students had less time to learn. Aside from this, there were only a few minimal changes that affected academic classes. Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, said. “The only real problem seemed to be in the math courses. Other teachers felt that adequate time was given. The thing that bothered math teachers was the lack of time for helping students during the last 10 minutes of the class while students started their homework. Mrs. Janie Christian, assistant principal in charge of curriculum, stated, “In ad- dition to major changes, there were also a few minor academic variations. Consumer Math was made into two academic levels which included regular and basic. Also, due to many other electives offered and student interest, shorthand was not of- fered this year. In regard to other academic classes, there were minor problems in sharing the campus and having less time. Mrs. Chris- tian concluded, “Time for teachers to help students individually at the end of a class period is very short. Lab time has had to be modified. P.E. activity time and English research is very limited.” Through the quite different circumstances, the Rangers survived academically and made the best of it. Learning ...

Recreating legend becomes challenge Scenes from Camelot and Excalibur came to life when Ms. Kristy Krueger's sophomore English class portrayed the characters from the King Arthur leg- end by rewriting the dia- logue into everyday lan- guage. After being divided into groups with each one tak- ing a different section, each group acted out the rewrit- ten dialogues. Ms. Krueger provided costumes; props were used, music was played and cue cards were shown as each group presented a scene. Phi Nguyen replied. I thought it was pretty fun. We had swordfights and reenactments of Arthur and suitors pulling the leg- endary Excalibur sword from the stone.” Larry Frazier added. It was cool playing Merlin. It was an experience.” Ms. Krueger comment- ed, “The legend of King Arthur is a very popular one; tenth grade students know about Arthur from seeing movies like Excal- ibur and Camelot. It was a challenge be- cause the kids had to read the story and then develop the actual conversations of the main characters, changing Old English to 'New' English. Christina Bienek ex- plained. The writing out of the characters’ conver- sations was a challenge, but it was neat because you had to think, act and do as your character would. David Ortiz replied. We had to really try to under- stand the conversations, so we could communicate our scene to the rest of the class. 112...

Cindy Huber, freshman, said, The purpose was to teach us how life was during the 1920’s!” The characters that came to life that day ranged from flappers to gangsters. Charlie Valdes, freshman, explained, I played Al Capone. We shot everyone with invisble ink. Everyone but Mrs. Houk! When Tina Levine, freshman, explained what she liked best about the annual day held February 9th, she said. “We pretty much got to do what we wanted to do! I'm sad it’s over!” Each student was re- sponsible for conducting research and completing a report on a certain topic. The students we required to present a report or per- form a skit with other members of the class. Tina explained, “I played a flapper. I got to talk and dance with the other flappers to the record ‘Echo of the 20’s.’ As a representative of the 20's, a flapper was a young woman trying to appear sophisticated in dress and behavior.” Another craze that was big in the 20's was a flag- pole sitter, one of which was portrayed by Robert Bruner, freshman. Larry Don Hurta, freshman said, It was funny because Robert sat on Mrs. Houk’s desk on a stool! He wanted to sit on a flagpole but she wouldn't let him. To make the day com- plete, students brought re- freshments to enjoy during the flashback in time. Once again the annual 20's day seemed to be a suc- cess.

Science Science students got a suprise from three science teachers when they decid- ed to do something differ- ent for their classes. A short video which turned out to be a comedy — but with a message — was put together using a familiar television character. Mr. Scott Spiller, the chemistry teacher behind the scenes, said, “The vid- eo was going to show chemical reactions that are too dangerous for students to do, but we decided to add a little something to it. The video was set to the theme of “Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Mr. Sci- ence. a Sterling version of the television personality Mr. Rogers, was. of course, played by Mr. Jack Cook- sey. Jodie Tomlinson, sophomore, said, “No one else could play Mr. Rogers except Mr. Cooksey!” They’re so much alike!” Mr. Chemistry, a friend of Mr. Science, was por- trayed by Mr. Gary Micin- ski, department chairman. Tara White, a junior, ex- plained, It was really fun- ny seeing our teachers act- ing the way they were! During the video, they showed different types of chemical reactions and ex- periments they weren't al- lowed to do. At the end of the video, it showed that Mr. Chemistry and Mr. Sci- ence had died because they hadn't used proper laboratory procedures. After the video, other experiments were done in class that ranged from cre- ating a glowing liquid to Mr. Cooksey lying on a bed of nails. Chad Lyons, soph- omore, commented. “I couldn't believe Mr. Cook- sey was lying on that bed of nails! I thought for sure he was going to get hurt! This Christmas gift, which was presented to the students the last day be- fore the holidays, Decem- ber 18, seemed to lighten up the day for some stu- dents.

Math Business Failures cause big problem One area that was es- pecially affected by the upheaveal in the regular schedule was the math de- partment. due In part to the number of failures. Mrs. Laura Kellner. Alge- bra l-ll teacher and tutor extraordinaire, com- mented. It was more dif- ficult with short classes be- cause there wasn't time for students to work problems during class with teachers' assistance. Mr. Robert Francis, head of the math department, stated, Since we had shorter days, more empha- sis was placed on out-of- class work. Perhaps this was the reason for the enormous amount of fail- ures. The 16 percent failures caused problems for both students and faculty. Nu- merous amounts of sched- ule changes were neces- sary to assure that students would be In the appropriate class. In some cases, summer school classes were required to make up the failed class. Many schedules were changed in order to place students in trailer courses. Mrs. Janie Christian ex- plained. Trailer courses (when part A of a full year math course is repeated in place of part B during sec- ond semester) are a good way for students to catch up, but they are only of- fered one period out of the day. Therefore, students must change their sched- ules. sometimes having to sacrifice electives to make up a failed math class. Mrs. Christian conclud- ed. It was an inconven- ience to everyone, but we just coped with the situ- ation as best as we could. Business Math ... 119 During third period physical educa- tion class.

P.E., Dr. Ed. Health Mishaps result when not wearing belts There are always two col- lisions, one outside which involves metal and glass, and the other which in- volves flesh and blood, commented Mr. Ed Wachtel on the conse- quences of not protecting yourself with seat belts and other safety devices. Becky Stewart and Kris- ten Underwood, seniors, found out how important seat belts really were No- vember 11, when they were in an automobile ac- cident. Both students, who were not wearing their belts, were admitted to Herman Hospital, and did not return to school for the rest of the year. Becky was treated and released with expec- tation of returning next year. Kristen, however, was in a coma-like sleep for a pe- riod of many days. When she came out of it. she be- gan a rehabilitation pro- gram, where she was walk- ing with assistance and talking with some difficul- ty. After awhile, she was doing well enough to go home on the weekends. The two men in the oth- er vehicle, who got a traffic ticket for the accident, had their seat belts on and were not injured. Someone else who was in a similar experience was Sherry Green. Last year, on January 3, 1987, Sher- ry was driving a car which was broadsided by a speeding vehicle that ran a red light. As a result, Sher- ry remained hospitalized for three and one half months of which time, 42 days were spent in a coma. Sherry said. All I can say is seat belts really do save lives; I know by ex- perience. After an absence of five months, Sherry returned to school. Mrs. Gil Green, Sherry's mother commented, Because of the nature of the head injury. Sherry had to learn to do EVERY- THING again. Her doctors predict that her healing will continue for a span of two to five years.” She quickly added, Wear seat belts at all times — it saved Sher- ry’s life!” Mr. Wachtel added. I used to be a Driver’s Ed teacher. There’s no ques- tion in my mind that peo- ple should wear seat belts. It's a waste if they don’t help somebody. The girl ' health teacher.

In Home Economics Coop- erative Education (H.E.C.E.), students went to school half a day, then were released to go to their job. Charlotte Rageth. a se- nior, explained. ‘Going to school and holding down a job is real tiring. Some- times. she continure, you just feel like giving up. “If you give up now. though, just think about when you graduate and are out there on your own. There’s no one else to de- pend on then but yourself, she commented. Mrs. Judith Tyler, H.E.C.E. sponsor, said. I hope that I have helped Charlotte to see that there are two viewpoints to con- sider in life — her side and the other side, whether it be on-the-job or in life. Charlotte, an employee at Hartz Fired Chicken, went to school from 8 a.m. — 11 a.m. After third pe- riod, you would find her at Hartz, filling drink orders, cooking hamburgers and cupping potatoes, that is, preparing the vegetables for distribution. Before Lee went back to their school. I was work- ing from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.. five days a week. I had weekends off — which I really liked, Charlotte said. At mid-term, I had to start back working part- time. That didn’t go over too well because it's so hard to plan things when you have to wait and see what days you work and what days you don't. After graduation Char- lotte said that she will still be working at Hartz. Someone has to serve the customers. she said. Mrs. Taylor summed it all up. H.E.C.E. gives the students the opportunity to earn while they learn so that they will be more re- sponsible wage earners and citizens when they estab- lish their independence. 122 ...

The Arts New teacher, play have initial problem From the success of All American, you would nev- er have known the prob- lems the students in Mrs. Billie Thompson'a drama classes faced at the begin- ning of the year. A new teacher, reorganizing a group of seemingly unmo- tivated actors and working around job and school ac- tivities as well as the split schedule were some of the problems faced. Through hard work, they made a near disastrous situation into a successful produc- tion and year. Mrs. Thompson, spon- sor. not only had to face the problems of putting on a production but also being a new teacher here. Some students took to her right away; others, it took a while. Fiona Borel, soph- omore. said. ‘ Pop. or Mr. Wheelis, (the former teach- er). was great, but I think after we get to know Mrs. Thompson better, we can get things rolling again. When Mrs. Thompson arrived, she began to re- organize the whole drama department. Repainting rooms, in- stalling shelves and build- ing a mini theater for smal- ler productions were her plans. When it was finished — scheduled for the fall of 1988 — the mini theater would have all of the lux- uries of the larger theater. While reorganizing the department, a major pro- duction. All American. was being rehearsed. The scheduling of rehearsal times were difficult to call so it made it hard for eve- ryone to get together to practice. Mrs. Thompson said. Lots of students had jobs with the shortened schedule and when every- one could get together, the cast would have so much ‘fun,' nothing would be ac- complished. Many times I had to step in and be the bad guy. I threatened to cancel the play if they wer- en't ready the day before. I wasn't going to let them embarrass me. themsleves or the school. Sharing the auditorium with the Lee drama depart- ment, as well as other groups at Sterling, also created havoc for Mrs. Thompson and her group. Many times, they would practice wherever they could. Angie Green, a se- nior, said, Rehearsals were the worst part of the play. With the half-day schedule and Lee using the auditorium, our problem wasn't just when to prac- tice, but where.” With all its problems. All American will be remem- bered by many in the club. Mike Chesser, a junior, said. For future produc- tions. I can see us learning from our mistakes and making each production better than the one before, But our first production, will hold a special place in the hearts of the cast and crew members. Always.

Non- fiction books were no long- er allowed to be checked out; helping to enforce this was the new security sys- tem which emitted a loud buzzing sound when a book was being taken from the library, illegally or ac- cidentally. Mrs. Betty Harman, li- brarian. explained, The reason we restricted books from being checked out was because both schools had to use the same books, and if we let students check them out, then both schools would be at a dis- advantage. The new library policy created an inconvenience for students when it came time for research papers. Unlike the past, students were unable to check out books to work on at home; therefore, all research had to be done during class time. English teachers were forced to change research requirements because of the situation. They also had to cope with the con- fusion of the students. Dr. John Gordon, senior Eng- lish teacher, commented, Books were misplaced and students had the feel- ing of ‘beginning over' each day. Some students resisted the new rule despite the elaborate security device. In some cases students were caught accidentally leaving with nonfiction books. However, Mrs. Harman stated. Some students were trying to 'borrow' research books and got caught, creating a very surprised face. Mrs. Harman comment- ed. “The security system came when security was needed most in that it probably squelched justifi- able rebellion. We are glad to have it for the absent- minded. the forgetful and the rushed student. At midterm, the library returned to its normal pol- icy. allowing non-fiction books to be taken out. Mrs. Harman concluded. The whole concept of li- brary service has become a reality again since students may use the resources freely. The Library ... 127 128 .. .

A A Approximately 2373 students and 168 school employees came together each day at 300 West Baker Road to create a truly unique society within a so- ciety. There were many distinctions which set each individual apart from the mass. Yet, the common bond of all was that of being a Sterling Ranger. The district once again promoted good attendance by awarding prizes, such as radios and savings bonds, to students with perfect attendance. Chick-Fil-A and McDonalds’s coupons were also distrib- uted for perfect attendance in October. However, in spite of the district’s efforts, attendance for the first six-weeks was down to 95.43 percent, a considerable decrease from last year. According to Mrs. Martha Starkey, attendance secretary, There seems to be more illness this year than last. Amy Westermann, a senior, said. Personally, it’s a little bit difficult getting up this early. She was referring to the time she had to rise in order to beat the 7 a.m. tardy bell first semester. Though absences increased, the num- ber of students present combined to form the Sterling family.

This was when students rushed hur- riedly to class to keep from being tardy. Even after an extra minute was added to the five minutes between classes, students could still be seen and heard-hoofing it to class. Instant panic seemed to engulf the school as many students often ran to beat the bell. Scott Priewe. a junior, said. I noticed that everybody tries to rush to class all at once and that usually causes a jam In the hall.” Becky Barrios, a senior, explained. “Everybody speeds up and some people run. but not everyone. Tardies were the problem the warning bell attempted to correct. Wendy Hindman, a junior, said. For some it is helpful; for others, it's a total waste because they don’t care if they're late.” Explaining why one minute was added between periods. Mrs. Janie Christian, assistant principi, ex- plained that since some students shared lockers with more than one person, they were having trouble getting to their lockers and then to classes. With 20 books in a locker and four people instead of two. the students need more time.” As expected, many students fa- vored the warning bell. Wendy also said. I personally like it because if you're trying to get to class, you have no idea how much time is left.” Scott added. You know that you have exactly one minute to get to class and that you have to stop whatever you're doing and get to class.” Becky said. It really dosn't cut down on tardies. If someone’s going to be tardy, they won't get there on time just because a warning bell rings. I really don't think it helps too much. A the liflh period warning bell rings.

Trying to get to my classes is hard because people run into me and step on my ankle and it hurts!” The hardest part of getting to class on time is climbing up the stairs.” claimed Todd Hauser, a jun- ior. about his badly bruised knee. Having a sprained or broken limb did provide some with special priv- ileges. though. ”1 get to leave classes early so that I can get to my other classes. I also have an elevator key. replied Wally Chase, a junior. In fact, I'm the only guy in school who has been able to wear shorts since the first day. Wally, who wore shorts for the first month of school, had torn lig- aments in his ankle and had surgery on it during the summer. Rhonda, got to skip out on twirling practice.

Wally kind of summed up the feelings of everyone who has ever been injured when he said. The best thing about being injured is def- initely all the attention you get.

Carrie Clarady. a junior, said Last year I sent my boyfriend balloons and ros- es as a joke. Most popular of the gifts given at school were balloons, along with flowers, and most liked receiving them. Jennifer CJgalde. sophomore, said. Balloons are nice to get from friends, and that’s usually something I give. Along with having flowers or bal- loons delivered, some were fortunate to have their lockers decorated even when it wasn't really their birthday. Audrey Parrish, sophomore, said. A friend decorated my locker a week before my birthday. This was be- cause her friend thought that her birthday was a week before it really was. With all the celebrations during school, there was one birthday that was the most memorable birthday during school. It was the year my friends acted like they forgot and then popped it on me at the end of the day. It was a real surprise!” Brandi Diehl, sophomore, reaches for the card to see who sent her this birthday greeting. Throughout the year, people could be seen walking through the halls holding flowers and balloons, making the public announcement. Hey! It’s my birthday.

I made this decision because it is close to home, and the courses I want to take are available. Some students planned on going to a junior college and then transfer. Trey Guidrey said, I decided to go to Lee College to take care of the basic classes and get them over with. After I've finished the basics. I might switch colleges.

Another student, Pam Pierce, add- ed, My parents said they would pay for college as long as I went.

Going to school every day, learning how to count to 10, to learn- ing algebra and geometry, was a part of life everyone went through to get to that last year in public education. Getting things done was important to growing up. Maria Sallas, said, One thing I’ve learned is to be on time to each class and turn in the dreaded homework.” Others just lived, day by day, tak- ing what came along. Heather Howell said, ”1 have learned how to do as little as possible and still have a good time!” Going to school 12 years would make most anyone think that most people have improved in life. James Schmadel, said, “Looking at a lot of people today, you would think that they skip years, not days of school. Going into the senior year brought a lot of responsibility. Marti Fluk- inger said, “Now that we are seniors, it feels good to know school is over with, until I'm out on my own in college.

Patti McCauley, sophomore, said. If I want to leave the class and my only hope is the nurse, I will just say that I have a major stomach ache.” Susan Stewart, sophomore, re- plied, “My usual excuse to get out of taking a test is going to the nurse and telling her I feel really sick.” Aaron Wooster, also a sophomore, said. “My method to get the nurse to fi- nally agree that I’m sick enough to go home is closing my eyes half way. holding my stomach and stumbling into her office. However, many times these meth- ods did not work. About knowing who was not ill.

Mrs. Janie Christian, assistant principal in charge of activities, ex- plained, This year second period was just too early, so naturally we’ve moved them back one period to give the kids a chance to wake up!

Kerven said, If you have a fine car you will definitely get more girls: they'll come to you like ants on a sugar cube! Well. Kervin, Gerrod Hubbard thought just a little bit dif- ferently: he said. Your car doesn't matter as long as you know how to attract girls. However, if you were a car- oriented person, and you cared about these finer aspects of life. Sherry Green, a junior, concluded. If you have got that under control, you will, more than likely, get attention. If you don't want that much at- tention and you like to look at fine cars, just look around: you won't have to look far.

How- ever, this year it was mandatory since Sterling shared its campus with Lee and there weren’t enough lock- ers for everyone to have his own. Some students were able to choose their locker partners, but oth- ers were assigned one during home- room the first day of school. When one senior. Dawn Carter, was asked about her locker partner. Kathryn Rowland, she explained, ’’She’s a fun-loving, interesting kinda gal and I didn't have a choice.” Maria Sanchez, a junior, said, ”1 chose my locker partner so It wouldn't be a problem with a person I didn't know.” Some students, how- ever, seemed to have little problems. Amy Peebles, freshman, said, I usu- ally get the wrong books and it's too crowded.” To help students get to their class on time, an extra minute was added between classes for a total of six minutes. Eric Bryant, sophomore, stated, ”1 like having an extra minute between classes because it gives me more time to talk to my friends. While many students stated that they didn't like sharing lockers, Marla Hudspeth, sophomore said. ”1 like sharing lockers because I can talk to my friends I don't have any classes with. Another student, Teri Sapp, a jun- ior. had an idea on how to cut down on locker problems. She explained, “I think that some of our teachers should let us keep some of our books in a special place in their rooms.” With the shortage of lockers, students ate required to share them with one. two or more students.

Students who didn't have multiple choices for lunch were those who chose to be in activities that required after-school practices. Jan Harris, a senior band member, stated. I go no place; being in band is kind of a sticky situation. Try getting out of the parking lot, eating and being back in 30 minutes. Impossible! The economy-conscious students chose to go home for an all- American meal. I sometimes go out, but I go home more because it is cheaper! But really, it does get kind of expensive eating out everyday. said Leda Blalock, a senior. When asked what financial sav- ings students made from the new lunch schedule. Angel DeRoin. a jun- ior, said. ”1 haven't really made any because I end up spending the mon- ey anyway. Lunch had previously been known as the social occasion of the school day. However, the new schedule made most students seeing their friends at the restaurant of their choice nothing more than pure co- incidence. Michelle Bird, a junior, ex- plained.

Lee Brockington explained, I like the feelings of accomplish- ments. Michael Smith said that the best thing he liked about his class ring was what it stood for. PRIDE! Oth- ers, like Tracy Perry and Tamara Eldrldge, commented that the stone was what they liked about their rings. The features on rings were as nu- merous as the students who ordered them. Some students, such as Steven Lycan. chose to have the school emblem on the side and his favorite sport, soccer, on the other side. Angel Enderli also received hers at the beginning of the year. It felt strange because I didn't feel I should have it yet, she said. Her ring was the official gold-colored ring which featured the Sterling star and the Texas capitol, on both sides of a blue-cut stone containing an Old English initial S. The average prices ranged from $125-$335. Scott Hunt commented that he saved one whole summer's pay to be able to afford his ring, while Charlie Farrar had his parents come to the rescue and buy his. On the other hand. Scott said, Since I had to pay for it myself, I got the cheap one. When asked to describe his class ring in 10 words or less, Lee said his appeared to be large, shinny, brilliant and expensive. Summing up the sit- uation in a similar way, Charlie con- cluded. It’s shinny, it’s classy and it's mine! ” Early In the year. Balfour and Co. representatives return to deliver class rings that were ordered last year. As Tera White. Laklthla Wilson and Theresa Ng- A-Mann commented. To me. my ring is a symbol of my high school years. Everytime I look at It. I will remember the good times — and the bad times.'' Photo by G. Monroe.

By the time I finish work and homework, it’s time for bed! As for having had to tackle home- work, Rachel Contreras, a senior, re- plied. That's just the problem, I watch T.V. when I get home. Then I watch the afternoon shows and start homework at around 8:30! When bedtime finally rolled around, times also varied. Shannon Chandler replied, I go to bed when- ever I get off the phone! Rachel exclaimed. It depends on my home- work or just the way I feel. Some- times I'll take naps and then, when it's time to hit the sack. I'm not sleepy!” Thus the shortened schedule and altered routines changed times, and as the year continued, the new schedule became normal and . .. routine. Ronna Thurman, sophomore who was in Stars, explained. We have to work harder and longer. We get so tired, but I guess it's worth it on Friday night during football game halftime! Starting off the year with a dif- ferent schedule meant homework routines varied. Courtney Lattimore, sophomore, explained, Last year, I didn't do my homework until about 9 o’clock: this year, I do it at seven. Having the entire afternoon out of school, many students ate able to work more hours at their parttime Jobs Bridget Macias, a senior, selling apparel rep- resenting various universities, spends her afternoons working in a kiosk at San Jacinto Mall.

I love having an aide.” stated Mrs. Tommye Glynn Clark, senior assistant principal's secretary. It gives me a chance to know what’s going on in students' lives, and I can become acquainted with different ones. Mr. Frank Hutchins and Mr. Ed Wachtel both agreed that the district policy of no credit was not needed. “The kids work hard and do a good job. Why not give them credit? ex- pressed Mr. Miles. It's 45 minutes of hard work, but it's also an enjoyable experience.” Even though he’s not getting credit for being an office aide.

Mr. Richard Miles, principal in charge of student aides, stated, Fewer students signed up to be aides this year because it's not being offered as a credit. Furthermore, Sophomores ... 161 What individual students Deginning in childhood and con- tinuing into adulthood, collec- tions of a wide variety of things played an important role in many lives. Collections offered excellent reflections upon the surrounding per- sonalities. not only as a counterpart of one's self, but also as an echo into one's past. Students collected everything from stuffed animals, to miniature objects, to demerit slips. But what made them become Interested in the items they colleceted? The reasons varied from person to person. Kris- ten Corder, a senior, said. When I was younger. I was really excited about owning a car. My way of pre- paring for this day was to collect keychains.” Michelle Gray, sophomore, said of her cluster of old letters from friends. I can always look back to a certain point in my life and remember if it was good or bad.” While some peo- ple seemed to have definite reasons for beginning a collection, others simply didn't want to throw things away. Robbie Walker, a junior who collected McDonald Land cookie boxes, said. I used to eat at McDonald's every day for lunch. Now I display my collection of cook- ie boxes in my window box.” Theron Ripke. a senior. look over one of the many card� in his line-up of boiebaU tlar� .

A person's expressions may have occasionally distracted other people due to the uniqueness, cuteness or peculiarity of one’s accumulations. Cyrenna Nixon, a junior, commented about her collection of theatrical masks. Everytime someone walks into my room, the eyes and mouth catch their attention right away.” Most collections did bring pleasing reactions; however, there were some that created not so pleasent reac- tions. Michelle said of her bundle of letters. It usually distracts boyfriends the most. They'll end up finding a letter from a former boy- friend. and that causes trouble!” Many collections that had begur in childhood were still around in high school. Michelle Lavender, sopho more. said. My grandmother begar giving me miniature porcelain ob- jects when I was six.

What possessed these maniacs to go to such extremes? “I like seeing them in person.” commented Blake McHugh, a junior who saw Motley Crue, LL Cool J and an assortment of others in the recent past. Kevin Watkins, sophomore, said, ‘I like concerts because the music is so loud, and if it's too loud, you're too old!” Theron Ripke, a senior who went to the Def Jam 1987, stated. I like it because they go easy on the treble and hard on the bass. It rocks the house! Whitesnake, a rock group that performed in Houston De- cember 2. was riding high on the album charts with Whitesnake Other popular acts during the year included Boston. Def Leppard, Dok- ken and Aerosmith. To commemorate certain musical events, many students purchased posters, concert shirts, programs and other items related to their fa- vorite groups. Tickets averaged $15 — $20. about the price of two cas- sette tapes. When asked about the financial setback involved in seeing live performances. Chris McQueen, a senior, replied, I would pay double to see some groups; I forked out over $50 to see Van Halen! Commenting on how exciting the Whitesnake con- cert was the night before Brandy Enloe.

Freshmen Memories recalled through Pinning up pictures and other memorabilia on her wall has become more than just a hobby for Tracey Rorlo. a junior Her collection Is an instant reminder of good times past. Photo by J. Culp. Cading flowers, tattered pictures. little pieces of life hanging from the wall. Memorabilia of good times, past and present, were symbols of events — then and now — that helped denote a variety of experi- ences. One of the most expressive ways was to cram everything onto a bul- letin board or vacant bedroom wall to create a current instant timeline of memories gone by. Almost everyone seemed to have numerous buttons, awards, match books and napkins from elegant resturants, faded flowers from formal events, postcards and others picto- rial souvenirs. Kathi Talutis. a senior, stated. I really have a bunch of junk on my board, like mums, spirit rib- bons. Star stuff and lots of pictures of football games and my friends at school.” Accumulations on a bulletin board didn't always start in high school. Some started as far as back as child- hood. I've been keeping stuff on bulletin boards since I was a kid,” Meredith Butler, a junior, comment- ed. But it never took long for me to get tired of it and completely re- decorate it.” Then there was always that one special token that had sentimental value and just could not be tossed out. Maybe it was a letter from a secret admirer, a napkin from that “special” place a guy took his girl- friend on a memorable occasion or a picture of a group of friends that told a story. I like all the pictures be- cause it reminds me of some of the things my friends and I do. They're just to look back on in a few years and laugh about. said Kathi. But what is the purpose of having a bulletin board? Some students be- lieve it was a way of keeping mem- ories alive. Others thought a bulletin board was a place to hang up things that just couldn't be thrown away. Angie Pieternelle. a junior, summed it up. It's to see all of the places you have been. I see it as sort of a per- sonal memory book. «LACK Bruce Dye Shown Dyson Kevin Earls Timothy Eathccton Kenne Elliott Robert Elmore Stephanie Epps Francis Estrada Melissa Estrada Raquel Estrada Greg Eubank Clint Faught Vicki Ferdinand Jason Ferguson Nephi Ferguson Luis Fernandez Brandy Flngleman Eli Rores Jesse Rores Mary Flores Yvette Flores Katina Foley Brian Foster Jason Foster Freshmen ... 169 Cynthia Francis Stephanie Frank Deene Freeman Greg Fregia Gina French Monica Gallegos Jana Galloway Yvette Galvan Rick Garcia Rosalba Garcia Tomas Garcia Michelle Garrett Francisco Garza Rosa Isela Garza Dora Garzoria Julie Gilbert Shawn Gilbert Stacy Gill Stevie Gillum Kester Godfrey Les Goff Fernando Gonzales Jaime Gonzalez Oscar Gonzalez Lack of driver’s license causes 080 I n most cases, freshmen faced one of two problems because they were unable to drive legally. Some- times they couldn’t find anyone to take them somewhere or they couldn’t go ‘Where I want, when I want.” said True Nguyen. Frank Kotlarz stated. “If I can’t get a ride. I have to wait for my parents and their reply is usually. 'Not today, we re busy.’ If I had a driver’s license. I could just go by myself.” Suprisingly, some ninth graders did not think the legal driving age should be lowered. As Robert Elmore put it. Well, not really, because if they did lower it, crazy, young, wild kids would be driving and we would all be put in danger!” However. Bumming rides is a real problem, said Amy Pennington, when she explained why not having a driver’s license was a real problem. All the freshman interviewed agreed that not having a car was a hassle. When you rely on someone else or your parents, you are not always certain you are going to get where you want, when you want. concluded Greg Bridwell. After the dismissal bell rings, those who have a vehicle and driver's license can leave on their own accord. However those, like freshmen, who cannot drive legally have to depend upon someone of legal driving age to pick them up. Photo by R. Hester 170 ...

Freshmen tereos help conjure up A Imost every student had a dream stereo system, but, just as many dreams are, they took a long time to come true. Becky Barrios, a senior, stated. My dream stereo is a Conrad fully digital system with a Fosgate 600 watt amp. Clint Bargainer, a junior, added. I’d like to have my own personal disc jockey in my car all the time! Although they didn’t get their dream stereo, the system they did get was far from inadequate. Chris McGhee, a junior, said. I have a Kenwood system with auto reverse, auto turnover, seek and preset sta- tion. Many students dreamed of having a compact disc player. Chris com- mented. I wish the radio I have was compact dlsc-compatable. Clint added. I wish I had one because they have clean, smooth sound. I don't think I would pay that much for a C.D. player! Becky said, referring to the prices of compact disc players which ranged from $ 160 for a portable player.up to $600 for a home system. Students varied in the way they paid for their stereo system. Becky stated. My parents bought my Kenwood stereo for me. On the other hand. Clint concluded. I paid for mine a little at a time. Amid the latest in electronic equipment.

Jennifer, who spends much of the morning as a student-teacher aide in the F.T A program, also leaves school before the day is out because of a sixth-period filler. Pholo by J. Culp. Some have privilege of short E? ven though everyone was out of school at 11:55 a.m.. a few stu- dents had the privilege of having a shorter schedule. Some of these people went to work, went home and watched soap operas, or caught up on their sleep. I get more things done early, said Kevin Schweers, a senior, who only had to attend three classes. Kevin spent two periods at Cedar Bayou Junior High as a student-teacher aide, and his third class was a filler. I have more time to do things I want and like to do,” added Kevin. Some other students may have had other things in mind. Tanya McNabb, a junior who had only four classes, worked at the new store, Everything's A $ 1.00. She said, I get more hours of work and more time to catch up on other activities. I can catch up on my sleep and work. Having spare time surely was con- venient for some. David Garcia, a senior, who had a schedule of only five periods, said, I can catch up on my sleep. I also play tennis, work and fish. Of course, most of the students probably enjoyed their spare time and used it to do all their favorite activities or just rest, but not all stu- dents worked and played. Charlotte Rageth. a senior with just three class- es. commented, I get out of school at 9:25. I go straight to work from 9:30 till four. Charlotte also noted. I like getting out early because I can keep my full-time job I had over the summer.” However, there were disadvan- tages. Explaining what he liked the least. Kevin said, There's not enough time in class, so teachers give you more homework. And Tanya added. I hate getting up so early and not having enough time to finish work in class. The best thing about short schedules, concluded Tanya, is more free time to do whatever you want! 174 .. .

Freshmen Things change during last four O ometimes it seems like 1988 would never get here. To freshmen in the fall of 1984, it seemed like an eternity before their turn to graduate would fi- nally come. Remembering that ninth grade daze, Tracy Newman said.“We looked at the seniors in awe when we first got here; I felt so young. Some looked so young, too. The overwhelming feelings of being in high school have long since dimin- ished. As the seniors walked through the halls of Sterling, and changed grades as the years progressed, they also walked up the steps of maturity and change. said Mrs. Sheryl Ward, counselor. As the years went by. many changed in the natural progression of life and acquired an older, more mature look. I like to look through my old yearbooks and see what people used to look like and how they have changed. said Sonja Harpst. I used to be so plain! Each year I tried to improve how I looked. I'm still not exactly the way I want to look, but I'm still working on me. stated Mi- chele Burdett. After the height of the guys finally caught up with the girls and shaving became part of the routine, the seniors were ready to face the real world after high school. Arcell Jacob said. If Sterling helped me with anything, it helped me grow up and prepare for life, but I sure had fun doing it! Lance Teel concluded, However, some people just never grow up!” Whether If m 1972 or 1968 Barbara Stevenson. a senior now relaxes in the main office In both cases, the furniture was new at ihe time.

Faculty Excitement centers on watching O effecting upon his 10 years as principal here. Mr. Ed Wachtel said. There have been many changes over the years, but most were minor. Parents are more per- missive than they used to be. Society has changed in that morality, the home unit, patriotism and expecta- tion have all been lowered. Mr. Wachtel continued. The thing that hasn't changed, at least for me. is the excitement of seeing scared little folks enter as freshmen and leave four years later as mature adults. He continued. Ultimately, I am responsible for all aspects of the school, from making sure the floors are clean to National Honor Society activities. Obviously. I couldn’t be totally involved in the mechanics of everything. Because of this, many tasks are delegated to assistant prin- cipals. counselors and department chairmen. Explaining what he liked least about being principal. Mr. Wachtel said. The saddest thing I see are kids with great potential simply throwing it away. If only students would not think you're preaching when you tell them how important their preparation is at this point in their lives. Mrs. Carolyn Tiner. guidance of- fice secretary, stated, Mr. Wachtel is a kind and considerate man. al- ways looking out for the best interest of students and faculty. He is also a very loyal Ranger fan. Mrs. Nan Jacobson, the principal's secretary, who has known Mr. Wachtel since their high school years together, said, Working in the prin- cipal's office is exciting and fun. I really enjoy getting to know the stu- dents who come through our office and I love working for Mr. Wachtel. He is honest and fair. He works diligently to get the very best for his teachers, staff and students. He hon- estly does put the good of the stu- dents first in making decisions.” Mr. Wachtel concluded. I have always felt that Sterling is a school with class. Ranger pride is something that most of our students posses. Many may laugh but ultimately, sometime later in life, this pride will surface.

Promoting OTING l langing from clothes to records, or food to entertainment, many students spent much of their after-school and weekend time at the San Jacinto Mall or other shopping centers spending any spare change they might have had and even some they didn’t. Items that were bought varied but most students purchased clothes, the most es- sential of items. Different stores and styles varied as much as the student did. Ba- sically. the styles and prices were the main factors in which students based their de- cisions. Sherry Larson, a junior, stated she liked Contempo Casuals because they have the newest fashions and. Plus, I usually like most of their styles. They also get the newest fashions in before other stores.” Guess,” one of the more popular styles for guys and girls, continued to be popular even though much of the denim items were not cheap. Jeans, whether blue or the faddish acid washed, av- eraged about $50 while overalls went for $75 and shirts for $50. Most students agreed that the only difference in the brand was the insignia and price. Due to each individual's economic sta- tus, he may have worn the best clothes or had to settle for what was affordable.

At times, it was quite a scary experience and I couldn’t have done it without a great deal of help from a wide variety of people. They included: Mr. James Patrick Reilly, Governor adviser who had a lot of confidence in me, his first and on- ly four-year staff member. With him, I experienced what real pres- sure was like when we were strug- gling to get the job done. Individual staff members, es- pecially Heidi Lutz, who did more than their share in order to publish something we could be proud of. Along the way. we succeeded in also having a good time: teasing Heidi about her pet Zephyr the Cat and his crystallzed forms; laughing at, uh ... with Aroundel over her librain” story about the ''spilt'’ schedule; listening to the latest tri- als and tribulations Gay-Lynn ex- perienced. and wondering what Beaver was going to do next. Per- sonally, I'd like to say that I’m happy I won’t have to hear the phrase Where's my shirt? again. The staff's “upper torso cover- ings (Gena's words) turned out real well, I think. The principal and one of his assistants, who helped us with the many details it took. Whether it was scheduling group shots or coordinating individual student pictures (thanks Mrs. Janie Christian and Ms. Lisa Huntley) or just having the complete sup- port of the top man himself (thanks Mr. Ed Wachtel), you made things easier for us just be being the truly efficient and pro- fessional people you are. Thanks also go to Mrs. Beverly Wilson, in charge of data processing, for the computer printouts. Others who generously allowed us to use some of their photo- graphs: Mrs. Roxanne Murray for John Culp Editor J. Patrick Reilly Adviser Heidi Lutz Ramona Caesar Scott Boston Gena Monroe Randy Nester Terri Pomonis Danette Trathen Hollye Salazar Tracey Tomlinson Laura Myers In this, the 22nd volume of The Governor, we attempted to utilize a variety of simple graphics to show- case the story we had to tell. The “splash graphics from Formatt, used sparingly from cov- er through page 224, was our most visible attempt to subtly display the difference in black white in- terplay, calling attention to those most basic of colors used in year- books (if, indeed, white can be called a color.). To prepare the viewer (or read- er). the sharp edges of this graphic were repeated in The Governor type (Formatt’s Xerxes) on the cover and title page. We wanted to carry on this effect throughout the major sections of this book: small areas of black containing reverse type. We had two slight deviations: in the Living section, we made our distinctive area red with black type on a white background to add an- other dimension to the combina- tion. However, since things are not always black and or white but shades of gray, we presented this concept in Learning using 10 per- cent black to frame and label the headline. Several other design elements were used. One was a variety of initial letters used at the beginning of each copy block. Another was the use of dots that were used in the folios as well as the index. Rule lines also appeared at various places, most notably in the table of contents and on the section di- viders. Another device was used in Liv- ing and Competing: the progressive area that moved from left to right throughout the section. In Living, the red box act- ed as a place for an additional head. In Competing. Formatt's Hollywood Lights served as the label for each spread, as well as the label denoting scores. In addition to these type styles, others included: Korina in various sizes from 8 pt. (for captions) to 12 pt. (for regular body copy) to 180 pt. (for the section dividers). In be- tween.the regular headlines in Competing were in Korina Italics Living used Times Roman Bold along with the progressive label in Korina and the hand-written-like Kaufmann Script (from Chartpac).

Carrie Pryor and Angie Bracey. who were quite gra- cious in getting us the shots we needed. Also, Mr. Robert Rutledge for permission to use the Star, band and R.O.T.C. groups, and to Citizens Bank and Eshbach As- sociates for allowing us to take several pictures in their buildings. Our Taylor Publishing repre- sentatives, Mr. Michael Parker, who really knows his yearbook work, and Ms. Flo Walton, the in- Irene Ortiz Melissa Brandon Tracey Florio Jana Porras Eric Henderson Scott Sokoly D'Ann Proctor Rodney Rios Nisha Tholstrup Sheila McDonald ing used Helvetica Condensed ti- tles with its label in Helvectica Bold. The style used in Being fea- tured Helvectica Medium Outline letters. The opening and closing fea- tured 'The Best in Formatt's De- cor. This graphic was also dis- played slightly different on the section dividers as well as on the cover in silver Metalique on black Mission Grain. Red mylar covered the embossed Governor 1988 as well as the spine information. Red foil in the Table of Contents served as an element that linked these two areas together. Eleven hundred fifty copies of this volume were printed using 80 house account rep who we got to know quite well over the tele- phone. Ms. Dolores Landin, the staff artist, was instrumental in helping design our cover. The teachers who allowed me, or us, to go “work on yearbook, especially Ms. Annie Moulder. She treated me like an adult, even when she had to yell at me for messing up again . . . and again. Also. Mr. Terry Ryals, Student Council sponsor, who set up elec- tions (like Governor and First Lady) in time for us to have plenty of time to get our work done. Our Lee counterparts during first semester.

Included in this were 50 extra copies that were distributed to company represent- atives across the nation for display purposes. Taylor Publishing Company of Dallas was the printer; represen- tative was Michael Parker and the in-house account rep was Flo Wal- ton. Black and white photo pro- cessing and printing was done by students with the exception of the mug shots. These were taken by Provine Studios rep Cindy Gailien (and her associate) who also took the color senior portraits and most of the group shots. The original working theme.

Closing Making of it A M m.s the first bell rang on the third Tuesday in January officially beginning the second semes- ter, students were forced to conform from the unusual back to the norm. Now ringing at 7:55 instead of 6:50, the first bell marked that un- forgetable day that lasted until 3 p.m. The rea- son? Lee students went home. Many daily routines were altered with the mid- year change of schedule. The morning an- nouncements were again heard during the 65 minute second period when normal classes were extended from 45 minutes back to 55. The length of the periods during this full day was considered an advantage by many. With more instructional time, fewer failures were ex- pected. Mr. Richard Bethell, head of the business department, commented, First semester, stu- dents had more homework, which many didn’t do, resulting in failing grades. Longer classes second semester means less homework and probably less failures. Dr. Bill Kennedy, superintendent, commented in a newsletter, I would like to commend par- ents and students for their cooperation during many months of inconvenience. Although the Rangers were forced into still more changes in getting back to normal, they pulled together and made the best of it! In M .

Closing ... 219 Making of it A M s the second semester's full schedule progressed, lunches were once again the social event of the day. The 35 minute break during the 105 minute fourth period gave students, as well as teachers, time to socialize, eat or catch up on unfinished work. Mr. Bethell commented, ‘I had missed seeing all my teacher friends during lunch. Lunchtime socialization is impor- tant to teachers, too. Lee going home meant that students were no longer required to share lockers, although some continued to do so anyway. Many welcomed the thought of once more having individual lockers. Either way, second semester gave students the right to choose. Winter sports came to a close, bringing on the beginnings of spring activities like basketball, soccer and track. Winter teams faired very well, such as the girls varsity basketball team placing second in district, leaving an enlighting outlook for spring sports. Contrary to first semester, Ranger Blue now dominated the campus all day as we worked to make the best of it!
