Text from Pages 1 - 240 of the 1989 volume:

Ross S. Sterling Senior High School was the destination of hundreds. Making their way from the north, south, east or west, people passed a wide variety of structures aligned along Baker that shared that common street name.

While many probably did not know the exact address of Ross S. Sterling Senior High School, this place that sprawled along the major east-west thoroughfare in north Baytown exerted a powerful in- fluence on the lives of those who spent Monday through Friday here. Whether it were students or adults who worked here, this learning facility provided challenges that were emphasized by Mr. Ed Wachtel. principal, in his welcoming address the sec- ond day of school. September 7. 1988. De- claring his theme for the year, he an- nounced. The challenge I make to this fine student body is simply ’Expect the Best’ from yourself and from your Sterling experience . . . If you put yourself into your high school life you will have an investment and you will reap the benefits. Setting the tone. Prin- cipal Wachtel mandated what he expected to take place in 1989 at 300 West Baker Road. Theme 3 During first period band. Molly Pate. Brian Foster.

The big news during Mr. Wachtel’s opening address was something already known but not yet accepted. Referring to the closed-campus-at-lunch-situation. he said. “You don’t have to agree, just have an open mind and listen.” Ex- plaining how this school did not stack up favorably with other area high schools on either the T.E.A.M.S. or C.T.B.S. tests, he used the varsity football team as an example. “You see. young people, the Rangers have not been successful the past three years not because of a lack of talent, but very possibly because of work habits. I believe that this same thing is true in the academic arena. Explaining how the old system did not work, he said that the newly-instigated 30-minute homeroom advisory period — created when a fourth lunch was added — might possibly improve those work habits. Linking open campus with lower test scores, he said. “You now join the vast majority of 5A high schools with a closed campus.” a campus located across the street from the U.S. Post Office at 300 West Baker Road.

From here, the year took off and settled on a course that would eventually distinguish it from all others. Events during the first few weeks were numerous. One was hav- ing an unexpected holiday from school September 15-16 due to Hurricane Gilbert that never reached the Baytown area. Another was the feelings generated by the flight of the space shuttle Discovery, the first manned flight by N.A.S.A. since the ill- fated Challenger mission 32 months before when the seniors were freshmen. These ex- ternal events, along with brief interruptions, composed the first month of school. After two disturbances in the cafeteria September 13. Mr. Wachtel announced. We are simply not going to let anyone jeopardize your op- portunity to learn.” Adding that incidents like this did not help the positive image de- sired. he emphasized. We will not tolerate these kinds of incidents.” Apologizing to the vast majority for having to make this an- nouncement. he added. ‘You are an out- standing student body.” a group composed of Rangers living at 300 West Baker Road. Theme 7 Student Life at 300 West Baker Road Between the days of Tuesday, September 6. 1988, and Friday, June 2, 1989. the mass of buildings located on a plot of land northeast of latitude 29° 43 minutes and longitude 94° 58 minutes became the setting for the numerous episodes in the lives of Sterling students. Since only a portion of their time was spent in the classroom, their time outside class was occupied by extracurricular activities and events known as “Student Life.’' The events began with the annual Pigskin Pre- view.the first day of school. Soon after, nominations for class officers and for the Homecoming Court were taken during all four lunches. Then Homecoming came and Sherry Larson was crowned Queen at the October 21 football game against West Brook. Homecoming became a memory as spirit focused on Lee Week, which concluded November 4, the night of “The Game”. Later on down the road, after the holiday break and fall semester finals, came the election of class favorites and the Governor and First Lady. As these events approached, blossomed and faded, the end of the year drew near with three traditional senior events occur- ring, the Chicken Fry and the Prom. The third, grad- uation, June 3, officially ended the year with “Pomp and Circumstance,” providing a lyrical ending to the social events of those attending 300 West Baker Road. 8 Student Life Emile Robinson . .1 senior, mixes music with a Rob Base recording at the October 22 Homecoming pep rally.

Just as with anything new, it took some getting used to when certain things hap- pened that let everyone know that, yes, the 1989 school year had begun. Certain events stood out during those first few weeks. During the first football game, the Rangers scored a 28-0 victory over Brazos- wood, and on October 4, Open House was held from 6-9 p.m. About this annual event, Elsa Bernal, a junior, com- mented. “I brought my parents so they could see my work and meet my teachers. Besides, she added, ‘‘I also got extra credit in Spanish! Parking permits were something else that stu- dents were concerned with. Warnings were is- sued to those who drove vehicles without the re- quired stickers, and on September 26, those cars began disappearing from the parking lots. Tina DcRamus, a se- nior, exclaimed. My car was towed away! 1 was so scared because I was. like ‘Where's my car?’. Before things got too settled, an interruption in the form of Hurricane Gilbert threatened the Texas coast and stu- dents got an unexpected holiday from school September 15-16. Le- wanda Gilbert, a junior, said, “We'd only been in school for less than two weeks, but it was still nice to get a break from the work and have fun. Elizabeth Morgan added, “I thought it was great! I didn't have enough time to get all of my school shopping done so this gave me a perfect opportunity. Finally that familiar feeling appeared as the first six weeks grading period approached. The first 30 school days were over. Jason Faulk, a se- nior,said. “I know this is my last year and I like being a senior. Every- thing started out real well and I'm sure eve- rything will end well.” Am • result of not having a park Ing sticker, some cars are towed off campus. Mrs. Sandy Huff, se- curity guard, assists Mr Dickey Dunman of Dickey's Towing Ser- vice In taking Shelly Tinsley s car out of the school parking lot Shelly stated. I was so embar- rassed! Photo by J. Hewitt. Getting Started 11 An expanded sees four lunches 'C'ourth period lunch took on an entirely new flavor when, for the first time ever, students could not leave campus for lunch. Therefore, eat- ing patterns were al- tered and fourth peri- od was expanded to include four lunch pe- riods. It was rumored for years that the campus was going to close, but it was not until this year that it actually happened. After a few complaints and gener- al grumbling, stu- dents adapted to the situation and new patterns emerged. One of the biggest and most colorful pat- terns was the use of children’s lunch box- es for those who chose to bring lunches from home. Lisa Schaffer. Junior, stated. ”1 carry a lunch box because I think the cafeteria has gross food!” Jodie Tomlinson, also a jun- ior. said. “I think it’s cute to carry a lunch box. Besides, it’s bet- ter than carrying a brown paper bag! There are even a lot of guys who carry them, too!” Laura Myers,a senior, commented about the situation in general, “You can’t change it. so you might as well start getting used to it now because it’s here to Steve York, Heath Romero and Ron Albert take advantage of the picnic table� that were placed outside the cafeteria on the patio. stay.” To accommodate the approximately 600 students each 30 minute lunch period, the snack, taco and salad bars were ex- panded to offer a wider variety of food. In addition, picnic ta- bles were added to the patio area so students had an alternative to eating inside. When a fourth lunch period was add- ed. advisory period was created that was used for a number of different things. Some students even took ad- vantage of the time to go to math tutoring. Expressing his feeling about this. Jason Faulk, a senior, re- plied. “I think it’s great. It gives us time to do some of our homework and even study for a test that you might have during fifth or sixth period. Like a last-minute cram!” Once students got used to the schedule, attitudes became pos- itive. Jodie added. “Lunch isn’t as bad as everyone thought it was going to be with closed campus.” She summed it up with perhaps the best argu- ment possible. ’’Everyone is safe from car accidents, and besides, there are a lot less tardies!” The table� helped thln-out the crowded situation In the cafeteria due to closed campus.

Stu- dents were nominated by their peers rather than by the self- nominating process. Tara Salinas, a freshman, and Deric Bryant. Kevin TouChet and Eric Bryant, juniors, gather around the table to nominate their friends. Mr. Terry Ryals. Stu- dent Council sponsor, commented. We had over 250 students nom- inated In the respective classes, Those elected were expected to rep- resent their class during Student Council activities. Pholo by J.

In ad- dition to this, the Rangers won their game 17-0 against the West Brook Bruins. Sherry explained. “It was most definite- ly the best moment ever in my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present than becom- ing queen.” In addition to Sher- ry being crowned, there were other ac- tivities that marked the special occasion. The Stars released hundreds of blue bal- loons in honor of the Homecoming Court members. Then. 59 former Stars from 1967-1984 performed a routine to ’’The Horse.” Jennie Kadjar. a junior and also a Star, remarked. “The former Stars’ performance added a special touch to half- time and kept it from being so boring.” The next night at the Homecoming Dance. Jamie Hum- phrey. a Junior, said. “The most exciting part of the evening was entering the school and seeing all of the mums and the fancy clothes.” Angie Sjolander added. The best part for me was going to the party at Shawnee Hobbs’ house after the dance. Summing up the weekend. Aaron Wooster, a junior, said. I’ll remember the laughing and sharing that went on. Scott Hightower, a senior, concluded. My date and I went to the beach after the dance and that is what I’ll remember most. The Queen. Sherry Larson, stands with her father. Mr. Ro- land Larson Sherry explained that October 22 was her birthday so becoming the Queen was es- pecially memorable for her. Pho- to by R. Neater. Homecoming IS 16 Representatives lead as spirit expressed Vk T hether the cheer- vv leaders were leading Two Bits. or students were dress- ing the appropriate way on special dress- up days, or different clubs were buying athletes presents on game days, faculty and students demon- strated their overall school spirit in a va- riety of ways. Mrs. Janie Chris- tian. Junior assistant principal, comment- ed. I wear ‘Ranger clothing when appro- priate — such as on Fridays — and I try to always exhibit school spirit by encouraging students to get in- volved in an activity, club or organization to get the most out of high school. Students showed their pride in more ways than one. Le- Anne Haddox. a se- nior and mum chair- person of the Key- wanettes. stated, We showed our spirit by posters for the com- mons and mums for Homecoming. We make signs for the football players' yards and give them goodies every Friday. Not only that, but we also give to the volleyball and water polo teams!” Kelley Mitchell, sports and concessions chairperson of J.R.A.’s. added. We show our spirit be- cause we love the Rangers! LeAnne, who made a rather unique sign for her assigned foot- ball player. Ken Hath- away. said. Students as well as parents and other Baytonians see the signs and get a glimpse of what Rang- er pride is all about — hours of dedication! Mrs. Christian con- cluded. School spirit is such a positive characteristic that benefits the entire student body and fac- ulty. It’s a way of showing you feel good about yourself and your school. With Homecoming right around the corner. Kcywanette members work hard on completing thrlr mums. As Mrs. Sally Black, co- sponsor. talks on the telephone while she works, LeAnne Haddox and Hollye Salazar do their part to make the fund-raiser a suc- cess. Hollye commented.

Herd Even though the Lone Star Bank dis- plays the temperature, most were un- able to view it due to the blistering cold weather Baytown suffered in early Feb- ruary. Because the low temperatures and freezing rain made driving haz- ardous. Sterling youths were unable to go about their usual weekend habit of cruising Highway 146 or anywhere else for that matter. Photo by J. Hewitt. Some of the common sights tilling the night include fast food establish- ments which provided a quick meal for hungry cruisers. The Bav Plaza parking lot. behind Jack in the Box, was a popular place to meet and talk. Photo by R. Phillips. 18 Cruising Vhen all else failed and the young became restless, cruising High- way 146 was always there to help pass the night away. People that liked to cruise usually went to 146, that stretch of road known as Alexander Drive. Lori Anderson, a senior, explained. “Cruising is piling into a car with all of your friends and driving around town from party to party. “I like to cruise 146 because you hear all the latest gossip and get to see your friends, com- mented Shelly Tinsley, a sophomore. The part of 146 that was heavily traveled by teenagers meanders roughly from the northeast to the southwest sides of Bay- town, with invisible boundaries at Texas Av- enue to the south and Bay Plaza to the north. Cruising was not the only thing one could do on the weekend. If we don’t go to 146, we go to the mall to see what eve- ryone's plans are. Then we go to look for a par- ty, replied Shawnee Hobbs, a senior, refer- ring to San Jacinto Mall where another type of cruising took place, cruising on foot. Teenagers who did cruise back and forth on Alexander occasionally found reasons to stop. Ryan Foerstcr, a junior, explained, “We sit in the parking lots ahd talk. But when we get tired of just sitting, we’ll go rid- ing around. Some pop- ular lots that cruisers liked to visit included the old Exxon station on the corner of the Ward Road; the Taco Bueno parking lot; and, in gen- eral. the Bay Plaza area. However, as all good things must come to an end, so did cruising lime for those who had cur- fews. “I usually stay on 146 until about 2 a.m., then I go home. But. the latest I’ve ever stayed there was 5:30 a.m.,’ commented Jocelyn Boudreaux, a senior. Highway 146 was a place where one could go to meet new people, talk to your old friends and ride up and down the strip. Chris Cara- way, a senior, conclud- ed, “I like to ride up and down 146 looking for girls. Exiting the Stop-N-Go at the corner of Highway 146 and Ward Road.

Lutz. makes fashion statement Whether the style de- noted dressing up or dressing down, it was cer- tain that stylish students could be seen living the phrase “Dressed to the nines!” It started with a turtle- neck, possibly a sweater, too. and then some baggy pants of dark denim, and ended with penny loafers or mock Oxfords by Eastland or Bass. What was it? Why, it was that perfect outfit letting eve- ryone know what the cur- rent styles were. When school started, a neater, dress-to-impress look was evident. Black became a dominant color in the wardrobe of some and browns and greens lingered over from the fall. Lynsey Asiley, a jun- ior. commented, “My fa- vorite outfit would have to be my all-black one. It’s very comfortable, it’s loose, plus everyone can see me.” For girls, there was al- ways that need for one last accessory, such as a scarf. A scarf could be found in any color, shape or size to add that fin- ishing touch to an outfit. Earrings to the shoulders could also make or break the image. Guys found ways other than scarves or earrings to “dress something up.” They looked toward bag- gy cotton slacks with a casual dress shoe to make their statement. Some even reached for a cropped sport coat to help make the right im- pression on that certain girl. On those days when dressing “down” was the mood, hand-painted or collegiate sweats did the trick. Rccboks, Keds. Air Nike or British Knights were the tennis shoes that adorned the feet when sweats were worn. If the weather was just a little too warm for sweats, tat- tered jeans and oversized shirts fit the picture. No matter what it was or when it was worn, the outfit expressed who a person was. David Shir- ley, a junior, said, “I’m fashion-conscious be- cause I want to look good. I feel better about myself when other people take notice and compli- ment me about my clothes. Lynsey summed up the impression an out- fit can make. “It tells a lot about who you are and what you think.” 20 Fashions Seen In Waldenbook� .

These students were elected to uphold the reputation and respect of Sterling. Tammy Lowery', a senior, stated. “Class favorites should be honest and should uphold their responsi- bilities as students look upon them. Nominations were held in the commons during all four lunches February 17. Many stu- dents were nominated Freshman cIbvn favorites arc (front) Eric Pcqucno. Jenny Hobbs.

When asked what a class favorite should be. Tina Lorendo. a junior, said. “I think a class fa- vorite should influence academic achievement. They should be capable of representing the school as a whole, not just social groups. As some students quickly discovered, it wasn't as easy as they had anticipated on de- ciding a final “class fa- vorite. Favorites 23 24 With a score of Lee Week ends season A really grave” scene greeted students the Monday morning of Lee Week that perhaps fore- shadowed the 27-36 los- ing score the following Friday night. Since the halls were no longer decorated by each class, the seniors, with the help of Ms. Cheryl Evans, art teach- er, were allowed to dec- orate the commons. The decorations included a new' poster of lyrics to The Night We Drove 'Ole Dixie Down.” and a graveyard in a swamp- like setting. “The deco- rations took a lot of hard work but, in the end, it paid off. Ironically, most of the students’ spirits were lifted be- cause of the grim scene.” exclaimed Terry Bassham. a senior. These grim scenes be- gan on Halloween, the first day of the week, when many students combined the theme of the day — “Spook The Ganders” — with the annual Halloween dress- up day. Clint Bargainer, a senior, commented, “I like the idea of dressing up for both on the same day. I thought it was more exciting because we were not able to combine the two last year.” However, not all agreed. Jimbo Lamb, a senior. stated. “Somehow. 1 felt the spirit was lost some- where behind the Hal- loween costumes.” Almost every day dur- ing this special week fea- tured a different theme. Thursday was “Mourn the Ganders” when par- ticipating students wore black clothing. The tra- dition continued Friday when students wore camouflage to “Hunt Down the Ganders.” Camouflage filled the gym when Mr. Ronnie Kluch. a government teacher and former coach, gave his tradi- tional speech to the var- sity football players at the pep rally. “His speech was emotionally moving to everyone within the sound of his voice, not just the foot- ball players.” explained Stacy Hurd, a junior. The crowd was really fired up with spirit after the speech,” added Rena Montgomery, a sophomore. That night at Stallworth Stadium, Lee Week ended as did the season for the Rangers. The game killed any chances for Sterling to go any further while Lee's victory allowed the Ganders to advance to the playoffs. Lee Week Instead of the tradilonal hall dec- oration contest between the classes, the commons is now the place that reflects Lee Week decor. An antic- ipated feature up until last year when Sterling shared its campus with Lee. the contest, with all of its prepara- tions late in the night creeping into the early morning hours, became a thing of the past “Besides. said Principal Ed Wachtcl. “by second period, the halls were already in shambles!

Those students, who were chosen from among the senior class' best, were recognized for their reflection of Sterling pride, academic dedication, athletic su- periority. positive atti- tude. honor and self- confidence. The students were nominated by the teach- ers who then voted on the ones with three or more nominations. As Ellis Hubbard ex- plained, “1 feel it is a high honor since the teachers choose the honorces; it leaves me with a feeling of confi- dence in that my edu- cators recognize my achievements.” Robbie Riggs added. “I feel very proud and honored that the faculty looks at me as such an outstanding student.” When asked what he felt was looked for in the citizens. Drew Ellis stat- ed, “I believe the teach- ers look for those stu- dents who are leaders in varying areas of the school, including athlet- ics, academics and stu- dent government. I feel the teachers admire the leadership qualities all the citizens possess.” Tim Copeland seemed to agree as he added, “I think they look for someone who has a positive attitude, is likeable, is a hard worker and is polite to them and other stu- dents.” LcAnne Haddox con- cluded, “If experienced adults feel I have the ‘citizenship-like’ quali- ties, I must have some sort of ability to deal with the real world.” Neil McCafferty and Shadrick Pat- rick arc two of the 12 honorees cho- sen to represent Sterling as Sterling Citizens.

Thus the stage was set for Tim Copeland and Sherry Larson to be named Governor and First Lady. Pam Durant and Clint Bargainer were the em- cees for the first part of the assembly. They in- troduced the freshmen, sophomore and junior court members. In be- tween each class intro- duction. musical enter- tainment was provided. Lori Eshbach, a senior and one of the emcees, said. “Things went a lot smoother alter everyone was relaxed. It was re- ally fun. Ms. Annette Moulder commented, “This was the best as- sembly! The Student Council members really outdid themselves. “When the moment to announce the new Gov- ernor and First Lady ar- rived, there was a lot of tension!” said JoAnn Hewitt, a junior. But the tension was gone the moment Sherry Larson and Tim Copeland were awarded the top honors. “None of this would be possible without Mr. Ryals,” said JoAnn about Mr. Terry Ryals, sponsor of the Student Council. “He puts in everything he can and more. He deserves a lot of the credit! Aclinu as emcees . Lori Eshbach and Ellis Hubbard prepare to announce the Senior Court members and Gov. emor and First Lady. Lori said.

The classes that underwent changes were modified at the state level rather than district level. “It was the State Board of Vocational Education that de- cided to rename these classes state-wide, said Mrs. Janie Christian, assistant principal in charge of cur- riculum. Among these new classes offered were Microcom- puter Processing, which offered one more outlet for students to meet the computer literacy requirements for graduation. Other new additions were Wildlife. Animal Science and Equine Science which allowed students to learn about certain critters without taking the full year of Agriculture. Metal Fabrication, Interior Design and Advanced Child Development were also on the list of new classes. For students with Advanced Woodworking on their schedule, it now appeared as Product Systems A. Be- sides having new names or being new, one class changed location; this was Industrial Cooperative Training 1 and 2. “This class used to be offered to both Sterling and Lee students but taught only at Sterling. Now they are taught at the Stuart Career Center so both schools can have access to the class, Mrs. Christian said. Even though some new classes were introduced and some changed names, the majority of the classes offered at 300 West Baker Road remained the same. 30 Academics As he leaches his class, Mr. Doug Traylor's auto mechanics students watch as he demonstrates how to check a cooling system for leaks with a pressure tester.

This was Mr. Mark Martin de- scribing the man on trial that his law classes wit- nessed when they went to sec a real trial. This day-long field trip, taken annually by each of Mr. Martin's classes, was set in the 175th State District Court in Houston. “The purpose of the field trip was so the students could see a real-life trial before they start their mock trials. They need to see the realization of how serious court is.” Mindy Melton, a jun- ior, said, “I liked seeing the guilty person and trying to determine for myself whether I believe in his guilt or inno- cence.” Mr. Martin ex- plained. “After the trial the judge and the pros- ecutor came over and talked to our class about careers in law.” Careers were one of the main reasons that students chose to take a law class. Robbie Walk- er. a senior, said, “I’m thinking about going in- to law as a profession and wanted to see how- well I like it and how- good I am at it.” DeNcce Turnbow. also a senior, said. “Law is what makes the world run. Also I really like Mr. Martin's personality and his way of teach- ing.” In addition to the field trip, mock trials were held during class to add another dimension to the class. These topics ranged from robbery, rape, selling of drugs and other types of crimes. Mindy said, “We act out court cases with a judge, defendants, a jury and everything.” Angela Lewis, a senior, added. “We watch a lot of vide- os and have a lot of open discussions.” Kenny Dykes, a jun- ior, said, 1 learned a lot about how the law works and some of the penal- ties involved with some cases.” Mindy summed it up by saying.“We learn how- to approach problems with questions and determine the truth or the outcome.” Social Studies 33 Science ooksey gets grant funds In Mr. David BeHram's second pe- riod Physics class.

Lutz 34 Science More than $26,000 was awarded to Mr. Jack Cook- sey, a biology teacher, as part of a U.S. Depart- ment of Education grant that allowed him to de- velop a multi-media, laboratory-based ap- proach to teaching mi- croscopy. Simply stated, it's teaching students what they are supposed to see when looking through a microscope. Mr. Cook- sey said, “One of the greatest challenges biol- ogy teachers face is com- municating to students what they are supposed to see when they look through a microscope.” “The funds from this, the Christa McAuliffe Fellowship Program, were used to establish what I named Enlab Productions, a profes- sional video production studio. stated Mr. Cooksey. To accomplish this, Mr. Cooksey pur- chased high tech video equipment. These in- cluded microscopes. 35 millimeter camera equipment, an advanced computer system and other major video equipment. Enlab will be a pro- fessional video studio where high quality video tapes and slides will be produced. As the only requirement of the fel- lowship program. Mr. Cooksey said, “The slides and tapes will be distributed to the 20 Ed- ucation Service Centers throughout Texas, but the equipment will re- main ours.” The future goal of En- lab Productions, after 1989, is to produce oth- er types of video pro- ductions. He said, 1 ex- pect to expand the project into other sci- ences so the equipment can remain in use.” He added, “It sure would be a shame to stop after one year!” The grant was named in honor of Christa McAuliffe, the school teacher who died in the space shuttle Challenger explosion in January, 1986. Mr. Cooksey conclud- ed. “The impact of this award on our science de- partment, school and district is something I am not sure any of us quite understands.” i Brant Olive . a junior, makes play dough that was used for making a clay model of the layers of the earth.

Enrolled in Ms. Becky Bepko's class. Dae and Chul had a hard time coummunicating with others. Ms. Bepko be- came a translator of sorts when she stated. “I quickly learned how to read the boys’ body lan- guage to understand what they needed. I also got information from them through their man- ners.” Ms. Bepko does not speak Korean, but she has spent some time there and knew of their customs. She said. “I’ll have those two speaking English by the end of their first semester here!” While both boys were enrolled in bilingual speech and English as a Second Language (E.S.L.), they both took regular courses. Ms.' Bepko commented, “The boys are very stu- dious. 1 rarely see them giggle.” Dae had Physics and Calculus while Chul was enrolled in Biology, Algebra II and even R.O.T.C. As they got caught up in the educational sys- tem here, cultural differ- ences became evident. One concept that seemed to take more time to catch was that of asking questions. In Ko- rea, if a student asks a question, he is showing his ignorance. In spite of their reserved personal- ity, both were described as playful and affection- ate. By the time Christmas holidays rolled around, the brothers had made remarkable progress. Ms. Bepko commented, “I didn't have to trans- late much anymore be- cause their reading com- prehension was becoming very good and they were getting used to hearing sounds. They al- so don’t waste time. They are always busy.” By the end of the first semester the boys’ in- doctrination into Amer- ican society was well on its way. They were learning to understand conversational language and getting along quite nicely. So nicely, in fact. Ms. Bepko concluded. “Dae is even looking for dates!” Moser, a senior, and Jennifer Fuchs, a senior, enjoy a banquet of authentic Roman recipes.

Ms. Swint ex- plained, “Students must only be able to read and listen when following di- rections!” Reasons varied among the students for taking the class. Jesus Balderas, a senior, said. “I chose to take this class to have some ex- posure to the world of micro-computers and to see if it is something I would like to pursue.” Becky Chmielewski. a junior, added, “I chose this because I've worked with computers and I wanted to learn but I didn't want to do a lot of programming.” Ms. Swint concluded, “I'm really enjoying the class, although it has re- quired more work than any other class I have ever taught in my 16 years as a teacher.

Hewitt P.E., Drivers Ed Health A Health .I.D.S. inclu- ded in new book As the A.I.D.S. epi- demic flourished, so did the informa- tion provided to stu- dents. Since the disease was primarily transmit- ted sexually, teachers found themselves walk- ing a tightrope when it came to discussing the problem. According to Mr. Bruce Paulus, boys' health teacher. “A.I.D.S. is now included in our curriculum; our new text- book even has a section on it.” However, one of the most effective ways of dealing with the epidemic was with the use of the latex condom, an item that, until very recently, was not even mentioned in polite conversation. This was where the sit- uation got touchy. Be- fore, the condom and all other methods of birth control were strictly kept out of classroom discus- sions because many con- sidered this a moral issue. However, the seriousness of the situation dictated that serious measures must be taken. Now. the condom could be discussed, but only as an A.I.D.S. pre- ventative. In addition to discussing the ways A.I.D.S. is transmitted, teachers cleared up myths about it. “We ar- gued about whether you could get A.I.D.S. by drinking after someone who was infected. We even talked about the fact that you can't gel A.I.D.S. from a toilet scat! said Yvette Galvan, a sophomore. Understanding both sides of the issue, Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, ex- pressed. “I am from the old school and do not agree with the permissive attitude that is around to- day. In a sense, birth con- trol must be mentioned because many of the methods used in protec- tion from A.I.D.S. are al- so used in birth control. In education.” he contin- ued. “the thrust of our message must be about protection and not the moral issue of birth con- trol.” About interest in the topic. Ms. Jan Strubbe, girls’ health teacher, said, “They arc not fully aware of the seriousness of the disease, but they arc cu- rious — mainly due to the media coverage.” Mr. Wachtel added, “When I was a teenager there were three institu- tions that would attack a problem like A.I.D.S.; they were the church, the home and the school. It is still that way with some . but far fewer are influ- enced by the home and church. We must then.” he concluded, “in the ab- sence of the parents and preacher, furnish the nec- essary information to stu- dents so they are in a bet- ter position to make the right decision.” In Ms. Jan Strubbe’s health classes, students like Tiffany Caruso, a jun- ior. practice C.P.R. techniques on life-like dolls. According to the teacher. This is one of the most valuable lessons any young person could ever learn. Photo byJ. Hewitt. P.E., Drivers Ed. 8l Health 41 C. . .

Tasncuiy Even though agricul- ture classes were still taught, they were among various vocational courses that went by dif- ferent names. Along with the name change, the courses were expanded and included more de- tailed information. ‘Instead of having Ag 1 and Ag 2 the whole year, they have been put into in- dependent semester class- es similar to electives,” said Blake Mullins, a se- nior. “For example. Wild Life and Equine Science arc classified as Ag 1 courses.” Mrs. Janie Christian, as- sistant principal in charge of curriculum and sched- uling, elaborated. “Rather than being four full-year classes, they are now in- dependent semester courses.” She added that Ag 3 and Ag 4 arc ad- vanced classes that stress welding and actual farm work.” Blake continued. “The specifically named courses are similiar to electives but Ag 3 and Ag 4 are more like being in a club or or- ganization like Future Farmers of America (F.F.A.)” Mr. James Patterson, instructor, said, “One of the biggest changes is the semester classes which makes learning about a particular subject easier.” Alan Caraway, a junior, joined Pre-Ag his fresh- man year, which was be- fore the name change, and stayed in it for the last two years. Alan commented. “The classes that ag offers give hands-on training in welding, parliamentary procedure and animal management which are now considered electives. These skills will help me in the ‘real world’.” “I love farm work and animal science. With an ag degree, I can work in al- most any field,” said Alan. He continued, “1 took Ag 1, which was basic ag before the name change, and Ag 2 which was a more refined course. In the future I’d like to take some elective-type classes.” Explaining about how much he liked this, he con- cluded, “I feel like there’s not enough class time. When we start working in the field or in the shop, time goes by really fast. I could work all day!” Even though the names were changed, the results were the same when stu- dents had the opportunites to learn about various as- pects of vocational agricul- ture. 42 Vocational Pam Castillo and Amira Cantu co- operate in the process of printing in Mr. La von McKinnev's fourth and fifth period Office Services class This class taught about computers, printing, tvping, film developing and other office work.

The Arts usic theory returns after decade Some things come and go ... and some return. This was the case, musically speak- ing, when the Music Theory class was rein- troduced after an ab- sence of 10 years. “This class originated in 1974 and lasted until 1978. Unfortunately, the class lost out because of scheduling, not lack of student interest.” ex- plained Mrs. Xina Stone, choir director and instructor of the course. “Now the class is of- fered third period to those juniors and seni- ors who really have an interest in becoming music majors, although most are also involved in choir, band or orches- tra.” Classwork included rhythm dictations, learning major scales, intervals, writing music and identifying time sig- natures through listen- ing to tapes and piano, not reading it on paper. Those students en- rolled appreciated this class for educational purposes: others, how- ever. saw it as a hobby. “I enjoy learning new things and expanding what I already know,” said Jenny Gibson, a se- nior who was in Stars, but not in any other mu- sical organization. Ron Mackert, also a senior, stated, “I plan to be a song writer, either in a band or for some- one else. I would also like to be a keyboard player in a band of my own.” Another senior, Nicollc Barnett, added, “This class has helped me realize the complex- ity of music. Everyone needs to know a little about music so they w ill appreciate all kinds.” The class was not for everyone, “We started out with 19 students: now we have 11. I'm sure the other eight stu- dents didn't realize how disciplined this course was,” said Mrs. Stone. I feel that the hardest thing in this class is the tedious work. The class is never boring: we are always doing some- thing,'' stated Craig Canon, a senior. “If you put your mind to what you're doing, there isn't anything hard about this class,” con- cluded Nicolle.

The Library omputer helps with record keeping Even though at first glance the library looked about like it did last year, subtle changes had occurred that kept the student re- source center up-to-date and with the times. Mrs. Betty Harman, co-librarian, explained, “Changes include the news bank, a continuing update of microfiche newspaper articles and a computer for record keeping.” She added, “We might even get an automated circulation system by the year's end.” About her job, Mrs. Harman said. “I have been a librarian for 13 years professionally. I became a librarian be- cause the printed page has its own magnetism and I became its vic- tim.” She concluded. “The thing I like most is see- ing the new publications coming out. working with the new titles and promoting the old favorites.” The library was not just a place for books; it was also where the au- dio-visual equipment department was located. Mrs. Dixie King, au- dio-visual coordinator, stated, “I have been with the library' for sev- en years. 1 like every- thing about the audio- visual department and the library.” She continued, “There is no time to be bored, as the duties are so varied we have to be ready to change gears at a moment's notice, es- pecially during ‘research paper' time. The library is a wonderful place to spend the days.” Another employee, Mrs. Sue Brysch. secre- tary, said. “Being hired as a library secretary was the best thing to happen to someone who likes books and likes to read as much as I do.” About being a student assistant. Richie Law- rence, a senior, said. “There are a lot of things to be done. I be- came an aide because I like the atmosphere. I do everything from shelv- ing books to running er- rands.” Richie concluded, “If you ever have a chance to work in the library, go for it because it's an ex- perience you don’t want to miss.” Mrs. Kay Marsh, co-librarian, said, we’re trying; to get the budget pro- Learning how to operate the new grammed.

The Library 47 Groups at 300 West Baker Road Whether it was band or the Student Council or the brand new' English as a Second Language (E.S.L.) Club, groups had to go to the “big” calendar to find out what was going on. The calendar, w hose months were the size of poster board, kept track of what organization was selling M M's next week or when the freshman girls were playing basketball or even to finding out when the Governor and First Lady As- sembly was to be held. Previously, these events had been arranged through Mrs. Janie Christian's office. However, when assistant principal duties were rotated. Mr. Frank Hutchins was given this responsibility to go along with the scheduling of school facilities, w'hich was a job he already had. With the calendar came the position of coordinating what new clubs could be organized on campus. One group which was reviewed and approved by Mr. Hutch- ins and then Mr. Wachtel, was the E.S.L. Club. Its sponsor, Ms. Mary Knapp, commented, “Our bilingual students wanted to be involved in something together at school and this club is a good way to participate in extracurricular activities. Being limited in English skills also limits them in extracurricular activites.’' The end of the year brought an end to Mr. Hutchins' first year with the full schedule of school activites just as it brought an end to the first year of E.S.L. Un- fortunately, 1989 also saw the end of the Octagon Club. So whether someone was looking to start a new club or was just checking out what's happening around school, the calendar in Mr. Hutchins' office kept everyone up- to-date on the events at 300 West Baker Road. 48 Groups As a fund-raising project for F.H.A., Rona Burton sells candy to Michelle MatzucfT in Mr. Terrs Ryals' sixth period English class.

First rate activities Band performs during Bush rally In spite of the second division rating received at U.I.L. contest, the band performed several other first rate activities. After making lower scores than usual at marching contest, a split one. two, three by the judges, the band mem- bers felt very discour- aged, but their spirits were raised when the Republican Party invit- ed them to be one of the four bands to perform for the George Bush Presidential Rally. Wendy Wyatt, a jun- ior flutist, stated, “It seems as though the band is trying very hard this year because of a low score we made from a judge at U.I.L. Every- one felt discouraged, but I think being invited to play for George Bush made us feel better about ourselves.” In an effort to raise enough money for their annual trip, the students were involved in various fund raisers such as can- dy, cheese and sausage. Gold C coupon books, oyster fry tickets and in- ventories for Foley’s and Weiner’s. Kristen Crawford, a freshman percussionist, comment- ed, “I have done a lot of the fund raisers so that I can help my parents pay for my trip.’’ This year the trip was more expensive because the whole band was flown to Walt Disney World and the EPCOT Center in Orlando. Flor- ida. Besides the concerts in Florida and U.I.L.. the band also played several others for enter- tainment instead of competition. To enter- tain and show the public how they had progressed throughout the year, they played a Christmas concert, a pre-contest concert and a spring concert. Michelle Gray, a junior flutist, stated. “I enjoyed playing in front of people, especially my parents. They are always so proud of me.” Mr. Jay Elkins, assis- tant director, comment- ed. “1 believe the band has worked harder than ever this year. They put out a lot of effort to make the best of things. I'm very proud to have been able to work with such a great bunch of students.” Band 51 Moving io I he beat of Hcv Go Team.” Pain McCauley.

The squad, made up of 10 cheerleaders and one alternate, travelled to Cy- press Creek where they earned a blue ribbon su- perior rating for their ability. Mrs. Claire Bays, sponsor, said, “It was a very positive experience for me and I think it was a learning experience for each member. To help in the prep- aration for contest. Lou- is Houston, a trainer from the National Cheerleader Association (N.C.A.). worked with the squad. The workouts, that included performing 150 sit-ups, running one mile, lifting weights and holding their arms up for 15 minutes, were rough on the squad. Beverly Paul, a junior, said, When practice was over, eve- ryone would leave ex- hausted and drained. Angel Rains, a senior and co-head cheerlead- er, added about their workouts. Louis came in and worked us 'til we couldn't stand up. Besides going to re- gional competition, the girls participated in an N.C.A. camp held at the University of Houston. As the camp came to a close, Patti McCauley, a junior, said. “We left knowing a lot more and feeling a lot more con- fident with our squad. To most of the squad, camp was a learning ex- perience, but to Angel it was a dream come true. “All four years I dreamed about being an All-American cheerlead- er. At camp I was chosen to compete for this. I didn't win. but it was an honor to know 1 was good enough to com- pete. Summing up her year, Beverly said. “I've be- come more relaxed in front of a crowd. I've be- come more determined and strong mentally and physically.'' LaShawn Williams, a junior, con- cluded. My personal accomplishments were getting along with eve- ryone and doing more exercises than I'd ever thought I could do. The whole squad got along well and we accom- plished a lot of things we set out to do. 52 Cheerleaders Doing her part to keep spirit on track.

Carrie Turner, a senior officer, stated. “The work we did with the band was a lot harder. We had to learn new marching skills but we worked together and dedicated ourselves and found it was a lot of fun! Love of dance and a source of exercise were reasons why many girls joined Stars, but Melissa Milligan, a sophomore, felt she got more than just that. “When I work with the Stars, I improve my self-confidence. I al- so learn coordination, poise and how to talk and perform in front of a large group of people. Demetra Grevenberg, a senior, said, “Being an officer has taught me leadership and how to teach and be nice to oth- ers. The first half of the year was filled with foot- ball season, the chicken- spaghetti dinner. Star Bazaar and the Chil- dren’s Christmas show, while the second half brought contest, stage show and the annual the year. trip This year the group returned to San Antonio where it competed in the Showtime Drill Team Competition at Hemis- fair Arena. Ms. Thercse Norton, director, commented. “When I sit in the au- dience and watch the performances, I always think back to Summer Camp. I feel so good when I sec how much everyone has pro- gressed. It is very re- warding to know I had a part in that progress. Performing at football games, attending Star Ball, and achieving an overall feeling of togeth- erness were at the top of the list of things liked most about this organ- ization. Bad attitudes and practice, practice, practice were at the bot- tom. “I enjoy perform- ing and watching others perform, but I hate to practice! said Melanie Cowen. a junior. Lisle Weber, a senior officer, concluded. “Ms. Norton and the other of- ficers have taught me that many unexpected things can result if we all work together through good or bad situations.

The Governor staff went through some rough moments, but managed to tell the story about 300 West Baker Road. Fifteen new members joined and seven staffers returned from the previous year. Unfortunately, several people couldn't handle the work, but those who were left did great! said Irene Ortiz. JoAnn Hewitt, head photographer, ex- plained, I heard there was a need for photog- raphers. Since I was in Mr. Reilly’s Journalism class, he gave me a roll of film and I started tak- ing pictures.

Within a week, I was accepted ... I think ... and did my share of the work. The tensions of dead- lines never faded but a regular routine of ques- tionnaires, layouts, co- py. quad-paks and com- pleted pages became natural. Then came the process of entering copy into the computer. Mr. Patrick Reilly, ad- viser, replied, “Few members of the staff knew how to work with the computer, but we were fortunate to have Kevin.

Music, theory and lessons in foreign languages came along with the daily routine of exercising the singers’ voices, lessons were taught of the previous two. Since music is part of singing, music theory was an important note in the choir classroom. Twila Gillum, a senior, explained, “I decided to join choir because I wanted to learn more about music and it also gave me a chance to use my voice for more than just talking.” When it came to con- test. held April 6-8 in Deer Park, the songs they sang forced mem- bers to learn a bit of two other languages. French and Latin. However, this year these to only one choir instead Having the chance to teach so much to the stu- dents and being with them for their entire high school career was why Mrs. Xina Stone, director, enjoyed her job so much. She comment- ed, ‘‘Being a choir in- structor and having a chance to work with my students for four years gives me a chance to see them grow first-hand, not just outwardly, but also inwardly. I really love my job and think I’m lucky.” 60 Choir To assist in the music made by the choir, a pianist accompanies the voices.

Orchestra Florida-bound Fund raisers pay ______for annual trip In addition to public concerts, the orchestra also held fund raisers to help pay for the annual trip, this year to Florida. As orchestra students went about these things, their reasons for being in orchestra varied. “I like the concerts and trips we go on. stated Sheldon Guide, a freshman who played vi- olin. In order to pay for their trip to Orlando. Florida, they were in- volved in several fund raisers. They sold eve- rything from Gold C coupon books to cheese and sausage. They also helped local stores, such as Foley's, with their in- ventories and held a car wash in the Jack-in-the- Box parking lot at the beginning of the year. Teresa Rollo, a junior who played viola, stat- ed. “I thought the car wash was a lot of fun and it also helped the or- chestra raise more mon- ey. “I joined orchestra be- cause I enjoy being with the other members, staled Eric Carhart. a se- nior cello player. Many felt as he did, but others just enjoyed the music and instruments they performed upon. Mr. Dennis Eichler. director, said. “This is the most dedicated bunch of orchestra stu- dents I have ever worked with at Sterling. We had a great year and I look forward to next year’s events.” During the time right before the Christmas concert.

Up through the junior, stated, “I hope to Christmas holidays, the benefit from R.O.T.C. unit had won 24 awards; among these were the in- vitationals at New Or- leans and the Fiestas Pa- trias in Houston. Captain R.A. Corral stated. “Seeing students compete and hold their heads up proud, win or lose, is the number one thing I see in our cadets. They also take so much pride in their school and the unit as a whole.” Some students took the course as an elective while others took it for different reasons. James Miller, a senior, stated, “When I get out of high school, I plan to go into the Marines. I’ve worn my uniform for four years and I enjoy and take pride in wearing it.” While James wanted to go into the Marines, Christopher Swindell, a by getting an appoint- ment to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.” On the other hand, Liz Kornita. a junior, commented. “I took it just as an elective! I m glad 1 took it now. It’s a really fun class that al- most anyone can enjoy.” M.Sgt. David Aiken stated, “Seeing a cadet better himself or herself and succeed in school and life is my greatest fulfillment in teaching R.O.T.C.” In other activities, the unit held its annual ball November 12 in the commons. Myralda Cantu, a junior, stated, “Everything went real well. I enjoy coming to school functions. It is a safe place to be and eve- ryone has fun.” As a regulari) scheduled activity, Bryan Armstrong, a junior, and Pat Clayton, a sophomore, carry out the daily lowering of the colors.

The Good Sportsman- ship League was also one with which the public was familiar. Its most visible service was to meet with service. other G.S.L. members from the opposing team in the middle of the field before football games. stated LcAnn Haddox, a senior. “We gave friendship gifts to the other teams. 1 feel this is an important part of keeping good rc- lations with other schools, commented Lori Adams, a junior.

Successful drive Different projects keep council busy Representing the school in a variety of ways kept members of the Student Council busy as they went about their different projects. Whether it was preparing the school for dances or assem- blies, or serving the community at Christmas, the council made its presence known. One of the biggest ser- vice projects that the council led was the an- nual canned food drive at Christmas. Each member, along with each person in the school, was asked to do- nate one can of food to brighten a hungry child’s Christmas. Besides sharing the Christmas spirit with those in the community, the council tried to boost the holiday spirit by decorating the com- mons with a tree draped in large red bows and snowflakes and snow- covered wreaths along the wall. About a week after approximately 40 people worked over eight hours on a Satur- day to complete it, stu- dents entered the com- mons to find the tree in shambles. Eric Carhart, senior class vice presi- dent. said. “I was upset because of all the money and time that was spent on the tree. Christmas was not the only time the organiza- tion worked. Members started the year with the Howdy Dance and en- ded it with the campaign assembly. In between, the council sponsored dances at Homecoming and Valentine's Day and the Governor and First Lady Assembly in Feb- ruary. According to Lar- ry Bennett, senior class president, “I enjoy hav- ing an opinion on school dances and other activ- ities.” The community and school were not the only ones that benefitted from Student Council. Mr. Terry Ryals, spon- sor, also gained from the group. He said, “I like to work with students at several levels, not just academically. With Stu- dent Council. I have the opportunity to see an- other side of students — as leaders.” 68 Student Council f' ■ of decorated green.

These included decorating Green Acres Nurs- ing Home for Christmas, selling tickets for a fiesta dinner and attending the district con- vention in Beaumont. When the Christmas holidays began, the res- idents of Green Acres Nursing Home already had their doors brightly festooned with a color- ful array of decorations. Jennifer Smith, a fresh- man, said, “My favorite activity was decorating Green Acres because I enjoy helping the elder- ly.” Another Christmas project was joining with the Lee Anchor Club and caroling at the new San Jacinto Methodist Hospital. Besides serving the community in a variety of ways, the club also provided for the school by maintaining the flow- er bed that surrounds the Memorial Fountain. Each spring, new flowers were planted and the weeds were pulled as necessary. Aside from the nu- merous service projects the organization per- formed, the biggest function was attending the district convention in Beaumont, where the delegates voted for dis- trict officers. In order to help pay for the trip, a garage sale was held at Melissa Lau's home. To assist in the fi- nancing of the conven- tion, the Baytown Noon Pilot Club Inc., An- chor’s parent organiza- tion. holds a fund raiser each year and splits the profit between the two Baytown clubs. This year, the fund raiser was a fiesta dinner at Grace Methodist Church. An- chor members helped by selling tickets for $6 each. From this, 100 percent of the sales were split between the two school groups. Reasons for joining Anchor Club varied with the personality of each member. Some, like Kellie Webb, a jun- ior and secretary, joined because “it provided a sense of belonging my freshman year. Others, like Jena Anderson, a sophomore and histori- an. flocked to Anchor because “it is a neat club and has a reason for be- ing needed in our com- munity.” This year, four boys, one from each class, were elected to be beaux for the club. Derek Bradshaw, a senior, dis- covered what the club meant to him. “The An- chor Club gave me a taste of what service clubs are.” Anchor Club 71 Ms. Rcbcci-a llinsnn .

Down to business Service provided to less tortunate Although having fun was a bi§ part of Interact and its sister club, the Junior Rotary Anns (J.R.A.'s), both of which were service clubs, when it came down to business, they did their best to help those le: Eric Bryant, a junior and Interact president, explained. “For Thanks- giving, we put together two large food baskets and gave them to needy families. At Christmas, we went to the Bay Area Rehabilitation Center and had a Christmas party with the kids.” J.R.A.'s also partici- pated in these activities. Meredith Butler, a se- nior and co-president, stated. “We sang Christ- mas carols and visited with the kids. It was nice to see the little kids so happy!” Making friends seemed to be the reason, agreed by all, that stu- dents joined these clubs. “I thought it would let me meet a lot of new people and have fun at the same time!” said Su- san Fanestiel. a junior J.R.A. member. Chris Blevins, a junior Inter- act member, said, “I al- so joined to become more active and in- volved in school organ- izations.” For J.R.A.'s. this year was a challenge because they had to find a new sponsor. Ms. Rebecca s fortunate. Hinson took on that not- so-easy task. Michelle Bird, a senior and co- president, stated “It's kind of like starting over. It's taking us a long time to get organ- ized, but we're making the best of it!” Miss Hin- son said she chose to sponsor the group. “To become more involved with students.” Both groups had a candy sale and worked the concession stand at basketball games to raise money. The money went toward a scholarship given to one student. The scholarship, as well as other aw-ards. were presented at a special J.R.A. Interacl banquet held toward the end of the year. Eric said this year was different because, “It's easier to make it to the meetings since we don't have to get up as early as we did last year!”, refer- ring to last year’s split schedule. Michelle had a different view. “This year I'm having to ex- pect more responsibility as the co-president. This is a lot of fun. I encour- age any girl to join!” 72 J.R.A. 81 Interact Jason Morion, a junior, listen in- tently as Mr. Tommy Yates explains the spring plans for the Interact Gub.

The annual canned the Kevwanettes made food drive was held dif- ferently than in years past. Instead of having students bring the cans in individually, the clubs were responsibile collectively. The Keywanettes and the Key Club won the drive, turning in hundreds of cans. Mrs. Sally Black, co-sponsor of the Keywanettes, said. “It makes you feel real good to know that you helped someone who really needed it. The clubs also collect- ed soft drink cans and newspapers for the Bay- town Rehabilitation Center. The center turned the cans and newspapers in for mon- ey to help buy new equipment for the cent- er. There were various other services that these clubs performed, such as selling fruit for the Ki- wanis Club and attend- ing the Kiwanis monthly luncheon. As they do every year.

But after all that, the mums looked great! Another thing that the Keywanettes did was provide goodies on Fridays to the athletes. They also made signs for the football players to put in their yards. Hol- lye Salazar, a junior, said, “The guys really liked having the signs up! They're really proud of them. All in all, the two clubs had a very success- ful year. Mrs. Elaine Hall, co-sponsor of the Keywanettes. said. “We didn't get to do every- thing we wanted to do but the work we did was very productive and re- warding. Key Club 81 Keywanettes 75 76 ■A.D.D. LIFE Informed students present message Two clubs: one students could gain a learning experience from; the other, possibly saving an innocent life, were Students Against Driving Drunk and Academic Decathlon. S.A.D.D. tried to in- form students how dan- gerous the risks from mixing drinking and driving are, while Aca- demic Decathlon mem- bers researched and gathered information tor upcoming contests. Wes Corley. S.A.D.D. president, said. “We've tried to get our message across by trying to work with Lee's S.A.D.D. chapter, setting up booths at the mall, and having a display of a wrecked automobile showing the conse- quences of driving drunk. As for Academic De- cathlon, Danny Dalstra, a senior, commented. “We basically take notes and learn 10 different topic areas. Mr. Bryan Borah, A.D. sponsor, added. “We have five coaches helping us with two topics at a time; then students get their speeches and interviews ready.” Angie Pieternclle, also a senior, said, “It’s a lot of fun and a lot of work. I really enjoyed it.” Another enjoyable time experienced by A.D. members was when they traveled to Fort Worth for an art ex- hibition at the Ammon Carter Museum. They were there for four days over the Christmas hol- idays to help them gath- er information for their art and literature catego- ries. To help promote its purpose, S.A.D.D. members put up a dis- play in the commons and held a few poster parties. Heidi Lutz, a junior, said, ‘‘It went pretty well. The posters for the football games were to remind students to have a safe time dur- ing the football game since it's a time of ten- sion and excitement.

Along with the Christian Student Union. F.C.A. were two or- ganizations that followed in His footsteps. Being in a Christian- affiliated club for more than a year helped mem- bers get more out of the club. Wally Chase, a se- nior member of F.C.A., said. “The main differ- ence this year from last is that I'm more in- volved because of my position as president. Mary Weems, a two- year member of C.S.U.. added, “I feel I’m more involved because being in a Christian- orientated organization for more than a year has helped me grow' more spiritually. Members of these two clubs had various rea- sons for joining. Chris Vitte. a senior in C.S.U., said. I had just recently became a Christian and I thought it would be a good way to meet new Christian friends. Wally continued, “F.C.A. has let me be a part of an organization that upholds moral. Christian standards in a society that is rapidly losing those very as- pects. Unlike C.S.U., which held their weekly meet- ings on Wednesdays, F.C.A. only met occa- sionally. “Most of the meetings are held at club members' houses from 7 p.m. until 8:30 or 9. We feel this gives our meet- ings a family-type atmo- sphere. Wally said. F.C.A.

Gallietv Fiesta planned New group provides additional outlet In addition to the German and Spanish Clubs, a new club, English as a Second Language (E.S.L.) Club, was added to promote another segment of Sterling society. Ms. Becky Bepko. founder and co-sponsor, said. “We formed E.S.L. because the students needed an outlet for their desire to participate in extra-ci E.S.L. and the Span- ish Club both sold tama- les, and the German Club sold candy. Differ- ent types of activities were conducted with the money raised. The club saved its money to have a fiesta at the end of the year, as did the Spanish Club. The Spanish group went to museums and experienced some Mex- ican culture. Irene Ortiz, a junior, said, “I really liked going on the field trip. Mrs. Cox ordered a bunch of different types of food because she wanted us to taste all the different Mexican dish- es.” Those involved in the German Club partici- pated in the annual Stu- ricular activities, dent Council food drive. Kevin Schafer, a junior, said, “I think it was a really good idea for the clubs to collect cans. It makes you feel really good to know that you helped someone in need.” On reflection, the E.S.L.’ers seemed to have a more successful year. The group accom- plished the goals that were set. Ms. Bepko said, “We promoted bi- lingualism as a positive aspect. We brought to- gether E.S.L. students to work for a common goal and instilled a bit more pride in them. We have also demonstrated to other bilinguals that the school sanctions our ev- idence and goals.” Spanish, German 8l E.S.L. Clubs 83 TERLING PERFORMANCE Audience needed for those speaking forth An audience was needed for those enrolled in speech, drama or debate. Whether on stage, in front of judges, or just in class, students made the effort to speak forth. The group most vis- ible around campus, “kicked off the year with a great success. stated Henry Stevenson, senior drama member. “ The Emperor's New Clothes was wonderful. We had a good time and it was very successful. Now we’re working on a play called The Arkansas Bear . It's a real treat. I'm very excited about the whole thing, and we’re having a good time with it too!’’ ex- claimed Rhonda Lee, a senior. Among many activi- ties, one highlight of the Drama Club was a trip to the U.I.L. Super Con- ference. Henry said, “The trip was really great: we met many oth- er students interested in drama.” “The group also went on a trip to see The Ar- kansas Bear. Moe Spencer, senior mem- ber. stated, “The pro- duction at the Univer- sity of St. Thomas was good, but we'll make ours better.” In addition to offering students a chance to compete at schools like Gregory Portland. Rob- ert E. Lee and Bellaire. it enhanced students abil- ity to, “speak, argue, re- search and be creative,” stated Crissy Brook- shire, a sophomore de- bater. “I plan to be a lawyer and felt the prac- tice in research and ver- bal argument would be helpful in accomplishing that goal. Christopher Swindull, a junior, said, “I really like debate because of the way Mr. Borah teaches it: he makes de- bate fun.” In speech, students worked on, “maintain- ing eye contact with the audience, knowing ma- terial well enough to put feeling and emphasis in it. and working on va- riety of pitch and vol- ume,” stated Mrs. Billie Thompson, drama teacher. All in all, students ei- ther joined speech, dra- ma or debate to “challenge themselves to achieve something they've never tried,’’ commented Moe. Or ci- ther to “help in a career they wish to succeed in,” stated Chris. 84 Speech. Drama 6l Debate Working after hours.

Learning responsibility, leadership, self-respect and how to work with others was also included. Stephania McAlister, a senior, commented, “I have learned all of this plus how to take a loss as well as a win. Influenced by broth- changes, ag will soon be ers, sisters, or even friends to F.F.A. really paid off. “I saw an op- portunity to raise ani- mals and make money all at one time, ex- plained, Stacey Enderli, a senior. Unlike last year with the usual Ag I, II. Ill and IV, there were different classes available due to name changes and course curriculum. Cheryl Martin, a senior, stated, “This year is dif- ferent from last because it’s not really as much of a club as it used to be.” She added. “With all the just another class.' Fund raisers included not only the traditional Blue and Gold sausage sale but also a ham and bacon sale. “We won the Blue Gold Sausage Award again as we have in the past,” commented Cheryl. To thank the faculty for its support through- out the year, the chapter held its annual Sausage Luncheon November 23.

Clubs that were associated with homemaking were Home Economics Related Occupations and Future Homemakers of America. These were taught by Mrs. Sharon Coker, Mrs. Janet Filla and Mrs. Brenda Stone. “This year was the first year of leaching in- terior design to students and 1 think it went treat, stated Mrs. tone, who taught Home and Family Liv- ing and Interior Design. “Interior Design will help me design my own home and clothes. It’s also a very helpful class to take because you can always use what you learn to help you in the future,” stated Lee Ann Courtney, a senior. “Learning the correct procedures in getting a job and keeping it is the main thing we do in H.E.R.O.,” stated Tina DeRamus. a senior. Tina continued, “I look it to prepare me for my future and to earn mon- ey for college.” She continued. “I work at Falcone Foot- wear designing shoes. The funnest thing to do is making the display window.” Learning how to care for children was another thing taught to students. Dawn Clepper stated. “Being in Child Devel- opment will help me when I have children of my own.” She concluded. “The way Mrs. Coker explains things has really helped me in understanding the importance of how the parents should help their child grow, not on- ly physically, but emo- tionally and mentally as well.” Getting the display window ready for H.E.R.O. are Marvell Broussard and Tyrone Jackson. A projector showed the image of the design onto the pa- per on the wall and they traced it. After this they decorated it and put it into the window. Photo by T.

A JUMP AHEAD Responsibility comes as part of job Even though these three groups were distinctly different, they did have one thing in common: they each allowed their members to leave campus part of each day to work at a job. Jessica Briscoe, a senior F.T.A. member, stated. “The main reason I joined this organization was to gain a better un- derstanding of leaching before choosing it as a ca- reer. I believe that work- ing at a school gives me hands-on experience and a little bit of a jump ahead of the others. Tim Thomson, a senior and C.V.A.E. president, said, I have an advan- tage over others by work- ing during high school be- cause this puts me ahead of others and I'll be able to make my way through the future business world faster than others. Tracy Sessions, a senior D.E. member, said. “I have learned to take care of myself and not depend on anyone else. It also gives me re- sponsibility and helps make students more ma- ture. Jessica added. “Every' day I gain valuable in- sight and experience just by being in a classroom environment. Teachers are helpful and 1 feel their insight will help me in my future education and ca- reer. Mr. Ross Anderson.

Building Trades and Wood- shop were some courses taken to teach a special talent which could be used after grad- uation. Todd Baldwin, a senior in Meat Process- ing. said. “I m looking forward to having a job as a butcher once 1 fin- ish high school.” Other students merely took it to satisfy an in- terest. Jimmy Clinton, a junior in Building Trades, said, “I took this class because I wanted to know everything in- volved in building a house.” For some students, the course was sort of a cushion to fall back on if other career plans weren’t successful. Chris Vine, a senior, said, “The things I learned in Meat Processing will help me if I find myself in need of job experi- ence. “It will help me find a job, perhaps in market- ing retail cuts of beef, in advertising meat or in a wholesale processing plant. Butchers make pretty good money, es- pecially if they are in the Butcher’s Union.” Building Trades, Shop . Meat Processing During Meal Processing.

OMETHING NEW Working with basic techniques Two courses in which students could further their skills or learn something completely new were Metal Trades and the Art Club. In Metal Trades, stu- dents learned the theo- ries of welding and the basic techniques of working with sheet met- al. Kelly Tomlinson, a sophomore, replied, “I wanted to learn how to weld and work with met- al.” As for Art Club, mem- bers discussed current exhibitions, certain art- ists, their theories and philosophies. James Jordan, a se- nior, commented, “We went to the Art Festival on Montrose in Houston as a field trip one week- end; it was real interest- ing and turned out to be fun. The Metal Trades, students had a guest speaker, Mr. Larry Mor- row, a maintenance su- pervisor of an offshore rig in the Persian Gulf, who explained how such a trade can really be ex- citing and how far it can get you. Mike Fenton, a junior, said, I wanted to learn how to become a better welder. Likewise, some mem- bers of Art Club also planned on using their skills in the future. Tina DeRamus, a senior who won many awards from her participation in var- ious contests, also at- tended the Marie Walsh Sharpe Summer Semi- nar in Colorado. She said, “It was 24 juniors from six states making up the Mid-American Region that were select- ed. It was an honor and exciting!

At the beginning of the year, students in Horticulture began working on their proj- ects for the Harris Coun- ty Fair. Everyone that participated received a blue ribbon. Shawn Johnson, a senior, won grand champion and re- ceived $600. “The top project goes to auction and the owner of the plant gets to keep the money,” she said. At Christmastime, the class held a fund raiser and sold poinsettias for $5. “In January, we learned how to do Bon- sai trees. It's a Japanese custom.” said Brenda Hughes, a senior. The class also did landscap- ing around the Stuart Career Center. Many students planned on using their experiences in Horticul- ture in the future. Danettc Standifer. a se- nior. said. “After this year I am getting my de- gree in Horticulture.” “You think you know all about plants, but when you take this course, you learn a lot more,” said Thomas Shreed, a junior. During the spring, a plant sale was held to raise money to go to state contest held at the end of April. Shannan Middleton, a senior, summed every- thing up by saying, “Plants are all around you and you should know how to work with nature instead of de- stroying it.” 98 Cosmetology, Horticulture Si Electronics As pan of one of his assignments in Electronics.

Instead of playing in nearby Pasadena against teams like Dobie and South Houston, the various athletic groups travelled nearly to the Louisana border to com- pete against Vidor and Beaumont West Brook and Beaumont Central and the other 23-5A teams in the district. For the volleyball team, changing districts meant learning about five new teams. Teresa Rollo. a junior on varsity volleyball, commented, “The new district threw us a little off because we did not know what to expect from the Beaumont teams. I think we underestimated these teams and we didn't play up to our potential because we had never heard anything about Beaumont volleyball. In past years we were used to our district teams and we knew what to expect. Explaining how he felt about changing districts, Mar- tin Kellner, a junior in varsity football, commented, “At first I was worried because West Brook and Central have so many students and were supposed to be very good. When we beat them both, I realized that we could compete with a lot of teams and that gave me a lot of hope for next year. Since the out-of-town games meant long rides, a chartered bus was available at $5 a person to carry those Sterling fans who just didn't want to drive the distance. Practice for the games and tournaments came not only during an athletic class, but also before and after school. For those who participated in sports, their days and nights on the court or on the field were backed up with hours of practice spent at 300 West Baker Road. 102 Sports As Rener Dalcour shoots a free throw.

Varsity Football PangeAS jjaW sRont o|j p ayo j- bextR TAFFORD IS NAMED Q ith the addition of ]AJ new head coach, Mr. Dick Stafford, the varsity football team achieved a 7-2 record but fell short of a berth in the district playoffs. “The new coach has brought a lot to our foot- ball organization. He brought back all the spirit that we used to have, and has made us play together as a team that loves one another. said Courtney Latti- more. a junior corner- back. Up until the last game, against Lee. Ster- ling was in the running for the playoffs. John Nelson, a senior strong safety, commented, “I didn't know we weren’t going until we lost to Lee. We played good and were ahead a couple of times, but we just had too many turnovers. We were not meant to win. 1 was badly hurt inside because it was the last time we would all be to- gether as a team. Sterling's first district game against Central en- ded in success. John added. “This was my best game of the year be- cause I caught five pass- es for about 115 yards. And I also played very good defense.” With the Rangers gaining momentum at 5- and 1-0 in district, they met Port Arthur Jefferson, which gave them their first loss. The defense celebrat- ed Homecoming by lim- iting Beaumont West Brook to 108 total of- fensive yards. The final score was 17-0 as de- fense dominated, only allowing two rushing yards in the first half. Alfredo Alfaro, a soph- omore linebacker, re- marked. “Our defense played reallv great: it was one of the best games l ve seen them play.” Sterling's defense rose to the occasion once more against Vidor, and duplicated the previous week's score for a vic- tory. Sterling's defense held the opposing team to only 109 total yards offense. Chad Reisner. a senior, threw for 252 yards and later stated. “I was very surprised at my performance, but after the game I felt more confidence in my play- ing ability.” The last game of the year against Lee ended on a solemn note. Al- though Sterling was ahead during the third quarter. “We did not have that extra gear to hold the Ganders down.' slated Coach Stafford. He then added, “But we played very well, considering the change our team has gone through.” James Lavergne, a se- nior. summed up the year. “We played with bur hearts. No one ex- pected us to do good, but through hard work and determination we achieved a winning sea- son.” “He brought back all the spirit we used to have.” Courtney Lattimorc Varsity Football Season Record 7-2 District Record 3-2 Bra oswood 28-0 C ypress C'rcek 17-2 Texas City cancelled Alvin 40-24 Anglcton 21-17 Central 21-10 Jefferson 19-28 West Brook 17-0 Vidor 17-0 Lee 26-37 Varsity Football 105 Going for a point.

ATORS CHEER The team played ex- cellent ball this season. They set goals and played with the de- termination and the de- sire to reach them,” stat- ed Coach Beverly Bargainer about the var- sity volleyball team. With this in mind, the Lady Rangers finished in second place, tying with Beaumont-Central. About being beat by the team they tied with, Nicole Smith, a senior, said, “The long bus ride to Central made me tired and I couldn't give 100 percent. Momen- tum is a big factor and we just didn't have it.” Dionne Crichlow. an- other senior, added, “No one had her head in the game.” Nicole, a two-year member, was disap- pointed about how the season ended. She said. “I think we played good, but not up to our ability. On the whole it is a good season, but it ended with a heart-breaking loss.” Teresa Rollo. team captain, agreed, but looked at the brighter side. “As a team, we gained the most valua- ble thing there is — the friendships and secrets our team shared formed a bond that will never be forgotten.” Another thing they probably won’t ever for- get involved the boys' water polo team that formed a group called “The Gators” to cheer the team on. About why they did this, Neil Mc- Caffcrty, a member, ex- plained, “There usually weren’t too many cheer- ing for them so we start- ed to.” Teresa conclud- ed, “A special thanks to the Gators for coming to every game and support- ing us. They added spir- it, tradition and a little class to our team.” T-N-T | In Your F Overcome by ihcir feedings of Rang- er spirit, Shawn Elliott. Danny Dal- stra, John Meadows. Steven Bishop.

These losses were, how- ever, a way basketball prepared the team mem- bers for life. “Never quit, and when you're up against all odds, keep striving to accomplish your daily goals.” That's what Coach Tone taught the guys about their times on and off the court. Cleet Hopper, a senior, said. “The team has really given a good effort, but things just ha- ven't worked out.” Even though these feelings of gloom and despair were expressed by the guys, the good memories were not forgotten.

(joufR, attitude, mafee. up stogtRs SOLID BASE Trying to conquer its goals, the swim team put forth hard work and endurance in- to striving to become the best. This was because most swimmers really enjoyed swimming and it was something they wanted to do once they made it to high school. Mr. Tom Landgraf. the coach who came to Sterling in September, 1980. commented, “My goals for the swim team are to provide each swimmer with a solid base of fundamentals and physical condition- ing by which each can reach his or her full po- tential. “This is whether it happens to be securing a position in the varsity lineup or earning a col- legiate scholarship.” The majority of the swim team was com- posed of members of the junior class. Maria Provins. a junior, who had been swimming since sixth grade, com- mented, “I feel that swimming is the only coed sport that you can be in and really feel like you are doing something for the team and your- self.” Maria added that her goal was to make the regionals this year. The team agreed that the strengths of the team were youth and a good attitude toward the work ethic. Mike Day, a senior, commented, “Sometimes the pain is so excruciating that it gets unbearable, but if I want to play N.C.A.A. water polo in college, it’s something I have to do.” When it came to shar- ing their feelings for each other. Shawn Dyson, a sophomore, concluded, “The swim team is one big family and in the meets they encourage you to do your best.” Abigail Reid, a freshman, and Trey Richardson, a junior, listen as Mr. Tom Landgraf. coach, talks to them about the outcome of the February 17 district meet.

One positive aspect was that the coach of- fered different things to different people. Larry Don Hurta, a sopho- more. said, “Coach Jim Partin has taught me to perfect my game. He has not only been there as a coach, but as a good friend, too. Brian Dun- can. also a sophomore, added, “He taught me ‘Don't throw your rack- et!’ ’ Team members had many different reasons for deciding to play ten- nis. Larry Don stated. “I feel that tennis is a game you play not only phys- ically. but mentally. You always have to be think- ing. Other aspects of this game were also taught by Coach Partin. Brian Junior varsity: (front) Mike Gill. Jeff Hol acptcl, Jessie Flores. Mike Estrada, (back) Brian Dun- can. Doug Wilson. Laszlo Tasnady. Ricky Garcia. Photo by C. Gallicn said, “He’s taught me a lot of the fundamentals of the game and how I can improve my skill at this sport by moving my feet and watching the ball.” David Lcwallen. a junior, added. “I've learned that tennis is not a sport to show how much power you can put behind the ball, but how much control you have over where it goes.” Tennis offered many opportunites to players, whether it was a child’s first swing of a racket or the more mature thought of a possible ca- reer as a professional. David said. “When I was little, I went to hit tennis balls with a friend. I guess it just stuck.” Brian conclud- ed, “I feel I've improved a great deal in my game, but I’ve still got a long way to go until I gel to the pros.” “He has not only been there as a coach, but as a good friend, too.” Larry Don Hurta Boys ’ Tennis Lee 2-7 Clear Lake 0-9 Conroe 1-7 McCullough 2-6 Friendswood J-5 Deer Park 1-8 Tennis 121 Quotes tep gi ids togetReA YOUNG(ER) SQUAD 8ven though it ap- peared that the girls' tennis team probably would not have a suc- cessful season due to the absence of returning players, surprisingly the team took second place in district. Coach Sherry Younger said. “The team played very well in the fall considering we are a young team. With three freshmen added to the team and their lack of experience, that’s pretty tough to handle.” Members had various reasons for joining the team. Kelly Sudberry, a junior, said. “It's been in my family for a long time. I liked it so I stuck with it.” Grace Anne McKay, a sophomore, added. “I saw a profes- sional match on televi- sion. My thoughts were, ‘Hey, I can do that too!’” It takes more than just physical ability to be able to play tennis well, according to Grace Anne. She said, “What I like about tennis is that it is not a stupid sport; you have to use your brain in order to win.” Even though most players enjoyed their sport, there were a few things about tennis they didn’t enjoy. Kelly said, “I like the actual match- es and going to tourna- ments. I don't even mind the practices, but I hate all the running!” Coach Younger taught her players more than just how to play tennis correctly. Eliza- beth Morgan, a sopho- more. stated, “Coach Younger taught us about responsibility and coop- eration.

Hewitt 1-4 • Desine, tadeKt possesses dub IGH GOALS SET The varsity baseball team set very high standards for the season after last year’s team scored a winning record and a play-off appear- ance. Speaking with players about the goals of this season, Robbie Riggs said, “Last year we had good talent but no desire to win for our- selves and the school; this year we have good young talent and also the desire to win for our- selves. The Rangers seeming- ly looked forward to re- peating their playoff sea- son as noted by Darrin Tharp. “This year we have a lot of level- headed kids and people who really want the championship.” In his second year as varsity head coach, Mr. Bruce Paulus was assist- ed by Coach Sam Pratt. “Coach Pratt is a good man and a good coach because he pushes you and makes you thrive to win.” Also ending the '88 year with a champion- ship season and a 21-3 record, the junior varsi- ty had been coached by Mr. Pratt. However, since he was promoted to varsity. Coach Jackie Byrd took over the coaching responsibili- ties for the J.V.'s. The aim for the team was well put in the words of Phillip Patter- son. “The team did great last year, but this year we have to play in a new district and prove ourselves all over again.” Following up behind the varsity and J.V.’s were the sophomores who seemed very eager to play in high school competition. Kelly Smith said. “I think this year will be a good ex- perience for me; I never can wait for the season to start.” “This year we really want the champ- ionship.” Darrin Tharp Vanity Baseball Schedule Central Port Arthur West Brook Vidor Lee Central Port Arthur We t Brook Vidor Lee Baseball 125 Sophomore Mark Salook uses all his strength during an afternoon prac- tice- Coaching the team was Mr. Jer- ry Sanders.

In the Nimitz Tournament, the girls placed second, and at the Eisenhower Tourna- ment, they ended up in sixth. The golf teams prac- ticed long hours cither at the Goose Creek Country Club golf course or here at school to improve their playing skills. Marisa Lyra, a sophomore, stated. “I get frustrated some- times. but other than that. I really have fun. Both the boys and girls enjoyed playing and travelling together. By doing this, thev were able to mold different types of people and could get help from fel- low golf team members. Wade Wallace, a freshman, commented, “I like playing golf be- cause both girls and boys are involved. Most sports are for boys or girls, but in golf we work together. In the spring season, the golf team competed against many teams. They were involved in tournaments held in Pasadena. Kingwood, Barbers Hill, Chan- nelvicw and also here in Baytown. Ms. Martha Marti stated. “I feel the team this year put a lot into their games. They en- joyed working with each other. I love helping people with a lot of am- bition.” 126 Golf Tiffany Caruso, a junior, takes care- ful aim at the Goose Creek Country Club golf course.

There were many dif- ferent reasons that these athletes chose to play soccer. Charlie Far- rar. a senior, said. “It’s an interesting sport: I find it to be a great way to stay in shape. Jay Spears, a senior, stated. “I played because of the unity I obtain from be- ing on the team, and al- so, I love soccer! The coach taught the athletes techniques and skills to be a better play- er and make a better team. Trevor Charles, a senior, stated. “He taught me how to work with defensive trap- ping.” The team's strengths and weaknesses varied. Joe Weaks. a senior, stated. “The team had good key offenders, but a small number of ath- letes in the program hin- ders our talent.” Joe also added, “The season was rough because of the new district, but we made it through.” Keith Lewis, a soph- omore. said, “This year could have been better, but it was an interesting one. and also a fun one.” “I find it to be a great way to stay in shape.” Charlie Farrar Soccer Schedule La Porte Dobic Lee Clements Tourney Clear Creek Galveston Ball Deer Park Texas City La Marque Clear Lake La Porte Dobic l-ce Hear Lake Galveston Ball Deer Park Texas City La Marque Clear Lake Key ojyjjewdeAS Re£p teOn.

Person. Reasons ucuty {jO i joining spout UNNING AROUND Students chose to run in cross country or track for a variety of rea- sons. Sometimes these reasons helped teams to do well in competition. Reva Johnson, a freshman, said, “I felt I would be good at run- ning the 100 or 200 yard dash. I also joined track to stay in shape. Her classmate, Susan Davis, commented. “I’m improving in all areas that I like to work in. but not so much in others. I enjoy running and like to compete but I like jumping the best.” About cross country, Marlon Hawkins, also a freshman, said. “I ha- ven’t had any bad meets where I was beaten re- ally badly.” He added, “My coach taught me that if you want to win, you have to work for it and work hard.” Another freshman, Jimmy Woods, stated, “When cross country season started. I was nervous but excited to find out what was to come. My best cross country meet was the re- gional meet at San Jacinto College. I ran varsity and it was also my best race.” He continued. “My worst meet was in Beau- mont. I didn't finish be- cause I was sick from eating the wrong things. “I run cross country because I think I might be able to do well and,” he concluded. “I can al- so stay in shape.” 130 Undersquad Cross Country .

Not far behind were their junior varsity counterparts. The freshman girls’ volleyball season started out slowly, but as it progressed, there were improvements made by each team member. “The girls really came together as a team mid- way through the sea- son,” explained Ms. Nadine Home, coach. She also commented. As Jennifer Johnson. a freshman, blocks out and pulls down the re- bound. she does her part in helping the team defeat Kingwood. Ms. Jan Strubbe, coach, commented. “Kingwood is one of our tougher prescason games. Photo by J Hewitt. “The team had a very good season and 1 en- joyed the year. This is the second time in a row for the team to win dis- trict.” Also winning district were the freshman girls’ basketball team whose record was 20-6 for the season and 8-0 for dis- trict. There were many things Coach Jan Strubbe or Ms. Horne taught them that made them do their best.

EAM TOGETHERNESS The boys' under- squad basketball teams fought their way through the new district with the intensity of playing old rivals. This allowed the Freshman A team to compile a 10-4 district record, but half- way through the season, Jason Henderson, said, “The season is going much better than 1 thought it would, and I’m proud to be on a winning team. The team was coached by Mr. Charlie Riggs, a first-year basketball coach and his players said that he did a great job as their leader. “Coach Riggs always told us the right things to do. He's really a good coach, said Chris Branch. On the other side, the Freshman B squad didn't finish as well as it should have. “I don’t think we worked togeth- er as a team enough to get the job done; there- fore, I think it didn’t turn out too well, stal- ed Chad Mills, a Fresh- man B team player. Chris Hewitt, another B teamer. said. “I think the team was as good as any. but we just got too hot-headed too easily.” The sophomore team had only lost one game at the half season mark, to West Brook, and the team felt like it had a good chance at the championship. Robert Elmore, a sophomore, said, “We should have a pretty good team; we should come in cither first or second, most likely first.” The J.V. team, on the other hand, was content with its season. Before it was over. Keith Harri- son said. “We've done pretty well so far but we need to improve on our overall statistics.” Navid Laborde. a jun- ior, stated. “I feel the team was good. We won a lot of games we were not expected to. so we achieved a lot.” The main improvement was team togetherness. Errol McLaughlin, a sopho- more. noted. “I think we had bad chemistry at the first of the year because most of us were used to being on our respective teams, but now we are used to each other.” During the final moments of a non- district game against Doer Park.

Coach Bruce Pau- lus. freshman head coach, said. ’’Our best game was against Lee. not just because they’re our rival, but because they came back from behind. 12- 0, in the first quarter to beat them for the first time in years.” He also said. ’’This group of freshmen came together as a team as they entered two-a-days in Au- gust.” Bubba Stark, a freshman, stated. ”1 think our best oppo- nent was West Brook Blue, because they played a close game against us.” Freshman B didn’t play because of teams like Central. West Brook and Port Arthur not playing a B sched- ule. However, with the games played, the team earned a season record of 3-1.' ’ Coach Paulus said. Richard Paulsel. a freshman, said. This year was different than before because it was more physically trying. In another category, the sophomore team ended with a season record of 1-4. The team only played five games because we lost some players and had to combine with the J.V. Also, some schools did not have a sophomore team.” Coach Sam Pratt said. Matt Marlow, a soph- omore. said. My coach taught me to improve my position, become more aggres- sive and take the pain. He continued. This year was differ- ent from last year be- cause I became a bet- ter player and learned more about the game of football.” Joe Kogut. a sophomore, said. My best game was against Lee. be- cause it was a struggle to the end! Junior Varsity, who ended with a 5-3-1 season record, ended up losing several good players to the varsity squad. Coach Charlie Riggs stated. West Brook was our worst game and our best op- ponent. We lost 35-0. They had talent at skill positions and al- so speed. Ram Wil- liams. a junior, added. My worst game was against Alvin because my man caught a pass on me and won the game.” Chester Layne. a junior, also said. My best game was against Angleton. because I ran back 92 yards on a punt!

The average student now spent seven hours and 15 minutes in school compared to last year's six hours and 55 minutes due to the closing of campus and increasing the number of lunch periods from three to four. For other students involved in extracurricular ac- tivities, most of the day was spent at a place that was essentially their home away from home. On the first day of school, 648 freshmen wandered the halls trying to find their classes. Five hundred eighteen sophomores, 567 juniors and 539 seniors swarmed the immediately-recognizable classrooms and halls, some of which had recently been painted a bright Ranger Blue. With the aid of five administrators, four counselors and 46 various employees, the 119 teachers taught students everything from English to German and F.O.M. to Calculus. No matter how many there were or where they come from, the complex of buildings that stretched over more than eight acres of land in the 300 block of West Baker Road was their common meeting place. 138 People As David Arnold, a senior, attempts to do his German dasswork. he hu- morously thinks, Teh V'erstchc Bahnnojf (Translated: I have no idea what is going on! ) Joking aside, he said that since most students take Spanish or French. 1 wanted to take something different.

Erin Jeffrey told about her first day here. The first day I was scared to death, but now I don’t feel scared at all. Coming to this big school, not knowing how to find any- thing, was just the beginning for freshmen. The pressure of the Juniors and seniors calling underclassmen ’’fish’’ was considered a putdown to some, but there were some freshmen who shared the same feelings. Angela Alesna. said. It’s all in good fun and I don’t think much of it because I’ll prob- ably do the same thing. High school was very differ- ent from junior high as the freshmen found out.

I like the fact that the band gets to be a part of the football games, unlike in Jun- ior high.

I like the spirit shown in everybody.’’ said Tara Webb. When asking freshmen what they likea least about Sterling, many of them had the same views. Phillip Farm- er commented.

This pro- gram gives you a feeling of what it takes to be a teacher, but you’re under the supervi- sion of an experienced teach- er. You know that if you make a mistake they will help you correct it.” Mr. Welch, who was stud- ying to be a history teacher, said. I’ve learned so much about humanity from history — our successes and our mis- takes! By being in the classroom, Mr. Welch said he had learned that “there are days when you’re just not together with the subjects or the students. Mr. Wachtel concluded. The saddest thing that can happen to a teacher is to be- come a teacher and realize you hate it. Student teaching gives you that last chance to test the wa- ters. It puts you in a positon to work right beside experienced veterans,” he said. On his last day as a student teacher in Mrs. Terri White's third and fifth period govern- ment classes.

For three, this aspi- ration became a reality when Ariane Schmidt, Sonke Johannsen and Allan Gustaf- sson chose to come to America with the idea of improving their English, meeting new people and seeing what Amer- ica is really like. What America is 'really like” was not what they ex- pected. Sonke. a junior from Hamburg. Germany, said. “I thought it was very large and when I saw it for the first time. I liked it.” Ariane. a senior al- so from Hamburg, thought. The school seems like a pris- on because it doesn’t have any windows.

If you come to class too late, or skip lessons, it is your own fault and you don’t get your grades. The class schedule is also different. There were 16 subjects taught each week compared to six a day here. Summing up his reasons for coming to America. Sonke said. ,st wanted to learn the American way of life and the culture, but I also wanted to enjoy my host family, and go out to see what America is like.

The standing-room-only show consisted of a wide variety of music ranging from funky dance-type songs to inspira- tional love ballads and offered something for both young and old. The Faith tour, named af- ter the 1 best selling album, sold out in a matter of 37 min- utes after the tickets went on sale. For this reason, few stu- dents were able to attend the concert. On the big night, crowds filled the Summit. As antici- pated. George Michael satis- fied the audience with smash hits from his Faith album and favorite oldies from his years with Wham! However, he surprised many with a rendition of Wild Cher- ry's 1976 hit. Play That Funky Music(White Boy) which the crowd reacted to wildly. Kim Chapa, a junior, replied, Everything was great!

Mr. Frank Hutchins, freshman as- sistant principal, stated. ‘ Last year a student could get nine tardies in one class before be- ing sent to the office. A policy change had to be made.” The students felt that this was a bad idea. Susan Stuart, a sophomore, said. “I share a locker with someone and it’s hard to make it to my classes that are all the way across the school.” Unlike last year, there was no one-minute warning bell. The minute bell told me how long I had to my next class and would hurry me up so I wouldn’t be'late. stated Wendy Fuller, a sophomore. Mrs. Janie Christian, junior assistant principal, said. “The one-minute bell was not very effective because the students would stand around until the bell rang. Then, they would run to class.” The new tardy system was not all bad. The time between class was changed from five to six minutes. Some felt that this helped simply because there was more time. The fac- ulty seemed to like this better. Mr. Jay Elkins, assistant band director, said. “It is a lot less of an inconvenience to hand a tardy sheet to a student to sign, than filling out tardy , slips and copies of each. Mr. Elkins concluded. Filling out tardy slips wasted the time I could be teaching. During fifth period geometry. Mrs. Simone Peters and Weldon Newton wait as Wally Chase signs In on the tardy sheet. Though he was not Tate to class much. Wally said. I’m tardy more often than I ought to be’!” Photo by J. Hewitt.

Two items of clothing that were no longer seen here were Corona and Spuds Mac- kenzie shirts, which adver- tised and promoted two brands of alcoholic beverages. Mrs. Janie Christian, junior assistant principal, explained. “This decision was made at the central office level: we had no input as campus adminis- trators in this action. This rec- ommendation was then made to the school board, and then it became policy during the summer of 1988. Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, responded. “Actually. A1 Weatherall. Director of Pupil Services, recommended to the school board that shirts adver- tising alcohol and drug appar- el be banned. The school board agreed and it was put into policy. As for what some students had to say about this new pol- icy, Brandon Licari. a junior, stated. It really doesn’t both- er me because Corona and Spuds apparel are really out of fashion, but I think it is unfair because we should have the right to wear what we want. Mark Vasquez. also a junior, who was upset about the pol- icy. commented. It’s really unfair. If they were going to do this, they should have told us last year at the end of school because people go out and spend money on these clothes and then they tell us we can't wear them. We should have some say in what we can and cannot wear to school. Mark concluded, Most of the people wearing these clothes are teenagers and as long as it doesn’t say anything baa. we should be able to wear it. Mrs. Christian went on to say. Wc will support and en- force the decision made by the Board of Education to ban these types of logos, as we are charged with enforcing dis- trict policy. Mr. Wachtel added. One of the greatest tragedies among young people in this country centers around drug abuse. It is the greatest cause of sui- cide. crime and failure among this group. We have names on the memorial fountain right here at Sterling that are De- cause of drunk drivers. So.” he concluded, my opinion is simply that we should not permit students to advertise these drugs. I realize the drug industry has spent millions of dollars to advertise their wares, but that doesn’t mean that we should get in- volved.” Even though we can't wear them to school, wc still sell a lot of them. says Jennifer U aldc. a Junior, about the banned apparel.

Juniors 171 REAL CLASSY: Rings arrive p robably one of the most ex- citing things about being a junior was getting your senior class ring. For many, this memorable day occurred in October when the special items were finally delivered. Last year, during the spring, the 1988 sophomore class or- dered their class rings from Herff Jones, a ring company new to Sterling represented by Ray Branch and Associates, a locally owned business. When Lee Ann Willett, a junior, re- ceived her ring, she comment- ed. “I’m really happy because having my class ring means a lot to me.” Junior C rystal McCarty compares her newly received class ring with Joy Tillman. Crystal commented. My ring makes me feel good knowing that l'ni finally getting closer to the end of high school. Joy said. It makes me feel more responsible because I'm almost a senior. She added.

Jennie Kadjar. also a junior, said. “Having my class ring re- ally feels weird. It’s scary to think that a year from now I’ll be a senior. Many students paid as little as $85 for their rings while others paid almost $400. Kyle Hopper, a junior, said. “I think my ring was around $350. but it’s worth it because it's some- thing to remind you of your high school years.” Chester Layne. a junior, said. “When you get your class ring, it makes you feel like a real upperclassmen!

And I have more responsibility than any ‘normal’ after-school job!” said Eric Carhart who ex- pressed his thoughts about his unusual job as a teller at Cit- izen's National Bank of Bay- town. Tracy Sessions, also a teller, but at Highlands State Bank, said she thinks her job isn't normal” because. I work with at least $40-50 thousand daily.” JoAnne Keene liked her un- usual job as a bridal consul- tant at Bride N’ Formal. She helped people pick out their wedding dresses, head pieces, bridesmaids’ dresses and in- vitations. ”1 like to see how excited people are when they finish getting all of their things together!” When asked what they liked least about their jobs. Natalie King, who worked as a cus- tomer service manager for Kroger, stated it simply. “The stress of having more respon- sibility than most people my age!” Tracy added. “One mis- take and I’m history. Everyone thinks banks don’t make mis- takes: they think we’re inhu- manly perfect!” All of these seniors agreed that the people they worked with made their jobs most pleasurable. Natalie said. “People respect my position and how I must do my job.” Eric concluded. “I like work- ing with the public. I meet new people and make a lot of friends!

Juniors 175 APPEARING: New faces 'C'reshmen weren't the only new faces on campus this year: there were also six new teachers. They came here for various reasons, yet all seemed to enjoy the Sterling experience. Mrs. Barbara Neel, an Eng- lish teacher who transferred from Liberty High School, ex- plained. ‘Everyone is friendly and helpful. The attitude of the students seems to be very positive and happy. They seem to be proud of their school.’’ Coach Jackie Byrd added. ”1 like the closeness of the faculty and the interest shown by the students in both athletics and academics. Reasons for coming to work at Sterling were numerous. Coach Byrd, who came from One of the new teachers.

Ron Mack- ert. a senior, stated. I like the new design far better than the old one. The new one is both more practical and takes up less space.” Mr. Ed Wachtel. principal and designer of the permits, stated. It was time for a change from the tradi- tional Yosemite Sam sticker.” Mr. Richard Miles, sophomore assistant principal, then quickly added. But some peo- ple still refuse to put them on their car. It was thought that if students had a smaller, more attractive permit, they would be more apt to put them on.” Mr. Miles continued. But in- stead of paying a couple of bucks for a permit, they pay about 15 times as much to get their car out of the towing yard!” Both faculty and students had their own permit designs. The student permits displayed a silver star with navy blue outline and navy printing. Carey Young, a sophomore, said. The design is 10 times better than the old one: it when not needed! All in all. the new parking permits were. More practical and convenient for changing times. said Jennifer Ugalde. a junior. She concluded. It shows how Sterling is able to change with the times.

During fourth period lunch. the Sterling Booster Club sold teeshirts in the commons with designs ranging from the '‘Polo team snirt to the Rang- er Rock-Stallworth design (inspired by the popular Hard Rock Cafe apparel). Styles changed from time to time and so did many outfits that designated certain club members. Describing her group outfit. Patti McCauley said about her new off-the- shouldcr cheerleading uni- form. It's very different — a lot more sporty in my opin- ion.” Apparel showed outwardly a Ranger spirit and inwardly a self-pride. As Amy Stuart, band twirler. put it. I feel good wearing my outfit. People no- tice that you are an active part of the school. Others respect you when they know that you have pride for Sterling.” Junior Stephanie Martlr assists her friend in buying an Item sold by Mr. Joe Wilson of the Sterling Booster Club.

Though most had not turned 18 in time to reg- ister. some seemed interested in whether the Republican candidate. Vice President George Bush, or his Democrat- ic opponent. Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, would win. When some seniors were asked who they would vote for. most said that Vice President Expressing their opinion about the presi- dential candidates. Lance Freeman and Clif- ton Donato show their excitement in being able to vote In the '88 presidential election. Photo by J. Hewitt. Bush was their choice. For ex- ample. Derrick Sanders said.“I think I’ll vote for Bush because he is the most expe- rienced and qualified candi- date. I also believe that he will do what he promised during his campaign. Adding to Der- rick's comments. Dawn Clep- per replied. “I will vote for Bush because he supports the death penalty. In the '88 campaign, topics such as possible tax increases, abortion laws, world peace, law enforcement and educa- tion. were controversial. David Willett stated. I am going to vote for Dukakis because he supports higher education. Some eligible seniors pre- pared themselves for the elec- tion in various ways. Amy Kennedy commented.'‘I watched the vice presidential debate between Senator Lloyd Bentsen and Senator Dan Quayle. That way I hoped to understand their views and ideas better. Amy then stated. I’ve heard a lot of people say that they were not going to vote and these are the same people who complain about the drinking age. Nothing will ever be changed if no one votes. Vote! It can change a lot. she concluded. Voting gave the seniors an opportunity to contribute to the democratic process and participate in their soon-to-be adult lives. 184 Seniors Vanessa Fountain Holly Frazier Lance Freeman Patricia Fridelle Jennifer Fuchs Maria Gallardo Alberto Garcia Maria Garcia Jose Garzoria Robert George Jennifer Gibson Twila Gillum Curtis Goins Belinda Gonzalez Brian Gore Camden Gothia Sherry Green Demetra Grevenberg Toby Griffis Luis Gurrola Pedro Gutierrez Kevin Guy Natasha Gwartney Jason Gyllstrom LeAnne Haddox Ricky Hadley Derek Hall Lisa Hall Brenda Harmon Kathy Harris Sue Hart Kenneth Hathaway Vickie Havenar Donna Hayes Jon Heintschel Mark Hernandez Mark Humbree Andrew Hensen Elaine Hernandez Scott Hightower Tara Hildebrand Shawnee Hobbs Belinda Hodges Wayne Hodges Renea Hollaway Stephen Holley Brent Hooper Cleet Hopper Seniors 185 Kevin Hornberger Annastacia Houlaer Ellis Hubbard Angela Hudson Brenda Hughes Scott Hunte Stacy Hurd Kevin Hutton Maryam Illahi Dion Im me Richard Issacs Kevin Jennings Lisa Johnson Shawn Johnson Yolanda Johnson Jimmy Jones Jimmy Jones Kenneth Jones Troy Jones James X.

Before, they were given during second pe- riod: this was changed to fourth period study hall advisory that was added when the lunch periods were expanded to four due to the closed campus. Because half the school was in fourth pe- riod. the announcements were given twice so classes being conducted would not be dis- turbed. Tim Copeland, a senior and Student Council president, said. I don’t mind giving them twice. If I can get through it the first time, it’s easy the sec- ond time!” Some students said that the announcements wer- en't as lively as they used to be. Kim Read, a sophomore, said. I liked it last year when they played music and joked around but they don't do that anymore.” For the past six years. Mrs. Janie Christian, junior assis- tant principal, was in charge of the announcements, one of her many duties. About hand- ing the duty over to Mr. Frank Hutchins, Mrs. Christian re- vealed. It’s really great that Mr. Hutchins is now in charge of them so he can enjoy the fun associated with the awe- some responsibility!” Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, said. “I believe the system is working very nicely and that's a real compliment’to this out- standing student body.” Tim Copeland. Student Council president, tackles one of his duties each day during fourth period. It was his voice heard providing school news about club meetings, athletic scores, fund raisers and other general an- nouncements that needed to be heard by the students and faculty. Photo by J.

As Greg Farrar explained at the beginning of tne year.'‘I feel more at tne top of the to- tem pole since we have to re- flect our Ranger pride. In ad- dition to this. Jimmy Jones said. We have to uphold the look' of the seniors and lead the underclassmen. Twelfth graders were ex- pected to be responsible. Wes- ley Smith indicated. “You have to be more conscious about your actions because the underclassmen are using you as a role model. For some seniors, getting out of school before sixth pe- riod was a distinct advantage. It allowed them to work or just to get a head start on tneir homework. Another advan- tage was explained by Tara Hildebrand. I finally got my Like many aeniora Moo Spencer I� excited about being a aenior anti moving on to future hope and dreams� Moe said.

My parents are old- fashionea and wouldn't let me get it until I became a senior. With many things, there were also disadvantages. Greg added. With this being our last year, a major disadvan- tage is all the college selection hassles. Also. I miss all of my old friends who graduated in 1988. When asked if he felt that the seniors were showing leadership as well as previous classes. Steven Nettles re- plied. “Yes. because we're groovy! At the beginning of the year. Tara concluded. So far the football teams are do- ing well and so are the vol- leyball teams. I think this will be an exciting year! In the end. becoming a se- nior was. no doubt, an expe- rience that many looked for- ward to. 188 Seniors Sheila Patrick James Peace Rob Peace Stanley Perez Patti Pcqueno Victor Perez Dana Perry Ross Phillips Joe Pitre Angela Plante Terry Pomonis E.C.

These at- tractively decorated lockers al- so helped boost the spirits of the entire school as students passed by them in the hall. David Shirley, a junior, said. •'They’re a tradition and that tradition shows school spirit. With the creativeness of the designs and colors, it bright- ens the dullness of the school. Brandi Fortune, a se- nior. commented on how the lookers affect the players. She said. I think that decorating the football players lockers make them feel important and will help them win the game. Some of the lockers were more extravagant than others. When students walked down the senior hall, a Wheaties box with Ken Hathaway’s picture centered on it and surrounded by little Special K labels caught the eye of most as they moved by locker A230. Le- Anne Haddox. a senior and the Keywanette responsible for Ken’s locker, said. I saw the Wheaties box and thought. ’Hey! That would be cute to put Ken’s picture on!’ ’’ Decorating the athletes’ lockers not only boosted their spirit and the spirit of the school in general, but also added a splash of colors throughout the halls of RangerTand. Decorating athletes' lockers Is a tradition that Is no better displayed than by LcAnne Maddox's effort on Ken Hathaway's locker. Ken. a senior, explained. I appreciate the things the Keywanettes do.

If you looked beyond this page, you found a section that was used as a reference of local busi- nesses and a way to raise money. Businesses from throughout the surrounding area bought advertising space in order to show their support for the school as well as to promote their own company. This space ranged in cost from $60 to $135 and helped the Governor staff fi- nancially just as it helped the businesses promo- tionally. With the money collected from ad sales, the staff was provided with operating expenses. This in- cluded purchasing the chemicals needed to de- velop and print black and white photographs. The money also paid for color processing and printing which could not be done by the staff photogra- phers. The ad section may not be considered anything more than just a section used to take up more pages, but it is an important part in yearbook production, said Mr. Patrick Reilly, yearbook ad- viser. The bottom line was that it helped pay for the yearbook that described a year in the life at 300 West Baker Road. 192 Advertising F.reryoac enjoy good music and the Record Bar is the place to purchase that music.

However, since a book of this type must rely heavily on outsiders to tell the story as completely as possible, individuals outside the yearbook fam- ily were turned to for help; this book would not be the book it is without the help of others. Since a yearbook’s main ingredient is pictures, there were times when others generously offered their pictorial services. In addition to Mr. David Coffman and Mrs. Janie Christian. Carrie Pryor and Angie Bracey. special thanks go to Mr. Tom Hathaway (Ken and Kelsey's dad) for lots of pictures. His interest in the school in general, and helping us in particular, whenever we needed pictures is reflected in the number of photos with which he is credited. Thanks also go to our teachers who allowed us to go to the yearbook room to do whatever we had to do that day. and to those who thoughtfully kept us posted on good photo op- portunities. If it wasn’t a picture we needed, but just some school facts, Mrs. Christian. Mrs. Lisa Huntley. Mrs. T.G. Clark. Mr. Ed Wachtcl or Mrs. Nan Jacobson were always there. Thanks also to Mr. Frank Hutchins who gave us our own back door key, our elevator key and a key to the upstairs lounge so we could have somewhat pleasant Saturday work days. Appre- ciation also goes to Mr. Richard Miles and his secretary'. Mrs. Leura Leissncr. for the numerous off-campus passes that were requested, and to Mrs. Beverly Wilson for the student com- puter readout. Last but not least, thanks Mrs. Dolores Cos- tello for keeping our messy room clean. Speaking of Saturday work days. Sheila. Amy Wikert. Kevin, Carmen and I want to thank Mr. Reilly for opening the classroom on January' 7 so we could meet the deadline. But next time, Mr. Reilly, don't mess up the ceiling tiles: use the door! Working on the yearbook and trying desperately to make deadlines was rough on everyone, especially Hollye Salazar who did a great job on someone cIsc’s pages without a single questionnaire. Now Hollye, weren't those seven and one-half hours worth it? During the second semester, however, the mood of fourth period became considerably lighter by the entrance of Wally Chase. How did you end up in here anyway? His ability to stop working for a minute to interject a joke and then go right back to work helped keep tension down. Plus, his thought — provoking phrases featured daily in “Wally’s World en- lightened us all or at least made us wonder what he was talking about. While learning how to write and produce a yearbook, the staff learned a little about Baytown history' and geography. (See if you can find who Baker Road was named after or what Baytown's map coordinates arc.) For these bits of trivia, we thank Mr. Johnnie Busch. Mrs. Jean Shepcrd and the ref- erence department at the Sterling Municipal Library. In conclusion — when all is said and done — thanks Kevin, thanks JoAnn, thanks Hollye, and last but not least, thanks Mom and Dad. I’ll be home at a decent hour tonight. Sincerely. Heidi Lutz Editor-in-Chief COLOPHON: Being able to adapt the situation and continue with the task at hand is essential when producing a yearbook, and that's what we had to do. Starting with our original theme idea. The Right Angle (which we decided real late wasn't the right one), ideas and concepts were constantly in motion. Somewhere along the way. the school’s address kept appearing in the possibilities. The more we thought about it, the more we liked it. Could we relate it to the school and year? Yes. Would it be distinctive? Yes. Would it provide a visual representation of an in- depth design element? Definitely! Beginning with the cover, we used silver Brillantic material with blue foil mylar. The blind-embossed name on the cover and title page was in El Greco type, while the 300 and spine copy was in Times Roman Bold. With this cover, we wanted to evoke the re- sponse. What's the ‘300’ for?” Turning to the endsheets. in Colonial Blue Beckett paper stock, we explained what we were try ing to do in thermoscrccned copy. Since this copy had an em- bossed-like, textured quality, we wanted to carry this design element over to other sections. That's where the screened areas on various pages fit in. On the theme pages, we used a combination of Celtic for West Baker and Venus Bold Extended for Road . Opus Italics was on the section dividers. In Student Life, our design element included using num- bers in the head in 100 percent process yellow in Geneva Condensed Bold. In Academics, heads were in American Typewriter; Groups were in Pyramid Condensed. Muse Script was featured in Sports along with Helvetica Condensed Bold. People heads were in Windsor Elongated. Un- like other sections, body copy was in Opus (because we made a computer mistake). The rest of the body copy was in Times Roman. With few exceptions, all text was entered in an IBM PS 2 Model 30 computer using T.P.C. software Typevision and Indexvision . We used 80 pound Dull Enamel paper with Smyth binding. Copies sold for $30 and $35 each. Press run was 1.100. Volume 23 was published by Taylor Publishing Co. in Dallas where Flo Walton was our account ad- ministrator and Michael Parker was our represen- tative; it really helped us to have their graphic ex- pertise available. In 1988, The Governor received a Silver Crown Award and a Medalist Rating (with three All Co- lumbian Awards) from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association: an award of Distinguished Merit from the Interscholastic League Press Conference; and a First Place from the Texas High School Press Association J. Patrick Reilly Adviser Specifications and Thanks 225 Despite allegations, lessons continue at... Life at Sterling continued on a steady course as December, 1988, evolved into January, 1989, and the “88” part of the “88-89” school year became a thing of the past. Two days after Mr. George Herbert Walker Bush was inau- gurated as the 41st President of the United States, the relative calm was shattered when problems within the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District were splashed across the front pages of the local and Houston newspapers, and the electronic media focused its eye upon the Baytown community. Once again, this time January 26, Mr. Wachtel spoke. “I feel I must take a minute to discuss the situation that now exists... The arrest of some of our top administrators in this district is a tragedy for our community, and the investigation is not over...” He then stressed that a person is innocent until proven guilty. “An indictment by a grand jury does not mean that a person is guilty ... Guilt or innocence is established by a trial in a court of law.” Although shock waves reverberated through- out the community, Ross S. Sterling continued its most important task: the education of some 2300 students. As the bells rang and the lessons were being taught at 300 West Baker Road, the legal audit and investigation continued. 226 Closing After a lecture, Danny Dalstra. a se- nior. is greeted by Texas Senator Gene Greene who was invited by Mrs. Terri While's second period to speak on the topic.

New names and numbers appeared on the scene to denote other events marking the other part of the school year. Mr. Ralph B. Pearce became interim superintendent of the district soon after Ms. Christina Putnam returned from the holidays as Mrs. Cox ... and Mr. Tim Lewis became a new teacher in the science department. Other names, those in the an- nouncements were heard at the beginning of third period instead of twice during advisory periods since, according to the principal, there were too many work study students out during fourth to be totally effective. Another measure designed for effectiveness was undertaken when Social Security numbers became used as student I.D. numbers. Other numbers, those relating to temperature, were evident when, on February 7. school was cancelled due to icy weather con- ditions. For 111 hours, temperatures were below freezing and conditions were so bad that the day before, more than 900 students were reported absent at 300 West Baker Road. 228 Closing After school February 6. Mr Patrick Reilly, yearbook adviser, finds that a common kitchen spatula works best in getting the ice off his windshield. Temperatures dropped to lows not seen here since 1983. As the weather got progressively worse, school was cancelled for the following day. Oth- er common ice scrapers included credit cards, cassette tape covers and even plastic hair picks. Photo by R.

In English that meant The Day of the Living Dead. Pho- to by R. Hester. Closing 229 World events act as backdrop on ... R O A Reality was also apparent when the current news broadcast daily events that became part of the fabric of the school year. In addition to the Bush elec- tion, which made Vice President Dan Quayle a household name as well as the butt of many jokes, other events will be remembered.
