Since there can never be another class such as this, the Cherokee recognizesits achievementsby choos- ing Class of '65 as the theme for this book. I I 'cb 7 Igfl ,f 'h as Mr. Harold W. Key, Principal of Sam Houston High School F5 Mefokee Jeohafeo' fo M Hafah' Key Popping up 'most everywhere at Sam Houston is a tall, distinguished-looking man who seems to share students' interests in all phases of school life. This famil- iar figure can be found in the halls, visiting classrooms, or checking on the cafeteria nearly every day. He is in the stands at all school sports events and attends each social function of the school. In short, he can be found wherever there is student life. He is known to students and teachers alike for his ability to find humor in almost any situation. Students have readily recognized his in- terest in them and have been caught up in his enthusiasm to achieve greatness for Sam Houston. He has a colorful background, although his whole life has been dedicated to the teaching profession. His wife shares his profession by teaching fourth grade at Berry Elementary School. Both of his sons were grad- uated from Arlington High with outstanding records of Honor Society and Student Council membership and athletic participation. His younger son, Charles, has 4 followed his father's footsteps into the teaching pro- fession and is now a coach at Arlington State College. He and Harold, jr. have both found satisfaction in workl ing with young people as their father has. After graduating from Whitewright High School and earning his bachelor's and master's degrees atTCUthirty- seven years ago, this man taught math for five years in Ida, Graham, and Mineral Wells. He then returned to his hometown to serve as superintendent of schools for nine years. For the next twelve years he was superintendent of schools at Pilot Point. In 195 3, he moved to Arlington to teach. Two years later he became vice-principal at Arlington High. In 1963, he was appointed principal of Arlington's newest high school. It is for his kindness, sincerity, and devoted effort to make each individual feel and become a vital part of Sam Houston that the '65 Cherokee Staff dedicates this book to Mr. Harold Key. 1-1v'wv '-W Mrs. Helen Strickland meets with Mr. H.

These qualities made them an inspiration to other students and a credit to the school. They took the lead in making school activities successful and in establishing the school's reputation. Seniors contributed to Big Sam by active participation and leadership in school organizations. Serving as club officers and committee members, they helped ensure the success ofall projects and social activities. Throughout the year, the Class of '65 led in athletic events. Not only on the playing field, but also on the side lines, they displayed the highest degree of spirit teamed with sportsmanship. Their knack for having fun was shown through their socials and humorous programs. The more serious side of their nature was displayed by their participation in purposeful assemblies. Despite their outside interests and support of school activities, these students somehow found time to excel in the most important aspect of school life--that of intellectual achievement. lfi' 1 l o V J f If I ,,f1- .,',f ..

New and improved fa- cilities are provided to aid in making courses more thorough. Rules are often altered within courses themselves, thus, changing the courses to some extent. New courses are steadily added to curricula. By means of his instructor the student is able to learn new methods. The teacher must know how to use new facilities pertaining to his course and is responsible for being familiar with new content which is introduced into the subject matter of the course. Sam Houston's faculty numbers over sixty. Many of these faculty members have been at Big Sam since it was opened. However, quite a few members are new to the school. Several of these newcomers were student teachers here last year. The remaining new faculty members came from a variety of schools in and about the Arlington area. Those courses taught range from the standard elective and required courses to advanced courses. Often students cannot visualize theirteachers beyond the classroom. Teachers spend a great deal of their time in classrooms, but they also lead lives outside school. A great majority of Sam Houston faculty members are married, and many of these have children who consider their parents not as teachers, but as mothers and fathers. During the school year several teachers have completed work for master's degrees, and others have worked toward that goal. These teachers have had to spend school nights and summers studying in classes at college. Many times teachers spend their summers in college classes, not to obtain credit toward a degree, but simply for personal enlightenment. Faculty members are always interested in their students. They like getting to know each student in order to understand him or her better. Wlmen a student shows interest, his teachers go to all lengths to help and encourage him. Indifferent students are urged on by their teachers until they develop interests. Students with personal problems frequently go to one of their teachers for advice. Such student-teacher relationships are not unusual for small town high schools, but they seldom occur in high schools located in larger cities. Sam Houston is proud to be an exception. Trust between students and faculty members has created school harmony. School spirit thrives among Big Sam faculty members. They take part in assemblies and rallies, and fill seats at programs and sport events. Buses which take students to out-of- town activities in which Big Sam participates could not be possible if it weren't for faculty chaperons. Every organization must be spon- sored by at least one faculty member. Various duties, interchanged among members of the faculty, aid in protecting the school and students. Sam Houston has, within its two-year ex- istence, established a much respected reputation. A great deal of credit for this reputation is due to members ofthe superior teaching staff. Symbols of a teacher's day, grade book, plan book, text books, report cards, admit slips, add up to a great deal of work outside the classroom. H x , ...., .., ' U - A ' 5 , 2 , 1. ..., - V . P' , L.

The board is made up of public spir- ited Arlington citizens who are elected by the people. Mr. Floyd Gunn, president, and member since 1950, is a local contractor. Mr. Charles Young, vice-president, and member since 1961, is manager of Lone Star Gas Company. Mr. Joe Bailey, secretary, and member since 1957, is business manager at Arlington State. Mr. Guy Hutcheson, vice-secretary, and member since 1950, is a consulting radio engineer. Mr. Fred Crook, member since 1953, is co-owner of Skidmore-Crook in Fort Worth. Mr. Clyde Ashworth, member since 1958, is a local attorney. Mr. Tom Foster, member since 1960, is co-owner of Foster Egg Company. Four members have been on the board throughout the entire schooling of the Class of '65, In 1953, when the class entered the first grade, Arlington High was Arlington's one high school. There were no junior high schools, and the five elementary schools were john A. Kooken, Southside fnow Dunnj, Maxie Speer, Booker T. Washington, and Westside fnow Swiftj. In 1953- 54, first graders numbered 585. Total school enrollment was 4,225, and there were 139 faculty members in the whole system. When the '65 graduating class entered the seventh grade in 1959, there existed two junior highs, Carter and Ousley, and elementary schools added since 1953 were Crow, Rankin,C. B. Berry, South Davis, Thornton, Blanton, johnson Station, and Pantego. Sev- enth graders numbered 993, while the total 1959-60 12 enrollment came to 1O,199. Faculty members numbered 438. By September, 1964, when the class had become seniors, Nichols junior High and Ferguson had come into being. Wimbish, Duff, and Roark Elementary Schools had been added. In the fall of 1964,an average of883 Students entered into their senior year. Approximately 385 ofthesewere to become the first graduating class from Sam Houston High, Arlington's second high school. Sam Houston had been built two years previously to meet the needs of a growing Arlington. The number of scholastics had in- creased. Too, more students would be provided an op- portunity to participate in school activities outside the classroom if two smaller high schools, instead of one large one, were in existence. Although Sam Houston had opened in the fall of 1963, it had no 1964 graduating class. Being a new school busy with establishing itself as a fine high school, Big Sam had no time to under- take the responsibilities that go with graduating a class. Total enrollment in Arlington schools this past year has been 15,100. Faculty members have totaled 668. At Sam Houston only 34 senior boys and 18 senior girls were to complete their education from first grade through twelfth in Arlington. Of the Sam Houston fac- ulty, Principal Harold W. Key has been longest with the Arlington school system. He began his tenure with the school at the same time as those 34 boys and 18 girls. Completion of his twelfth year with the system is to be marked by the graduation of the Class of '65. MR. WOODROW COUNTS Asst. Superintendent, Education fllarffh Heads .ffaff Heading the administration ofthe Arlington school system are Mr. james W. Martin, superintendent,Mr. Roy Wood, assistant superintendent, and Mr. J. W.

Besides having 3700 books for student information, the library provides tape record- ers, record players, and opaque projectors for student pleasure and inspiration. Working with Mrs. Louise Clark, the librarian, are 32 library assistants and Miss Sharon Gardner, an ASC student. Mrs. Ada Starrett, school nurse, is available two days a week to take care of not only students who become ill during school but also those who display hearing or vision defects in the classroom.

Senior English covers English literature, grammar, and writing. junior Eng- lish aids students in developing an appreciation for American literature. The basic purpose of sophomore English is to create within the student a desire to read short stories, drama, and lyric and narrative poetry. Advanced placement English Classes provide enriched material for sophomore, junior, and senior students who excel in English. The English department also offers two periods of reading lab taught by Mrs. Betty Young. Reading lab improves the student's ability to read and increases his reading rate. 20 ,,..V A Big Sam senior, Barbara Splawn, selects material for her research paper.

This advanced course in biology prepares its students for college through extensive laboratory and field experience in selected topics from biology. Three other science courses were also offered by the Science department. Biology I imparts to the student a scientific knowledge of living things and their effect on man. Chemistry seeks to expand the student's function- al knowledge of facts, concepts, and theories. Lab peri- ods give students a chance to acquaint themselves with chemistry equipment.

The Foreign Language de- partment includes Latin, Spanish, and French. The first two years of Spanish are devoted to developing a prac- tical lingual ability. An introduction to basic grammar is included in second year Spanish. Spanish III stresses a deep grammar study and reading of Spanish litera- ture. The two years of French deal with speaking, un- derstanding, and reading. The well-equipped language lab has proved to be a great asset in the learning of French and Spanish. Both years of Latin include gram- mar principles, vocabulary and derivatives, thus ac- quainting students with the civilization responsible for a large part of the nation's language and culture. 25 Mrs. Annette Polk Mrs- Genice Self Typing I Shorthand I-II BAQ M.Ed., North Texas State TYPUIE H BBA, North Texas State Linda Davis carefully copies her shorthand lesson.

The course places emphasis on the correct care of the instrument, correct playing posture and position, correct breathing and breath control, tone production and good tone quality. Physical coordination and precision come through marching and drilling. In addition, the participants in band develop in leadership, responsibility, cooperation, and self-discipline. Some activities for which the band performs are pep rallies, football games, marching fes- tivals and contests, concerts, and assemblies.

During the past year several boys who took drafting with shop not only became skilled in constructing various objects in shop but al- so were able to lay out plans for the objects they made by means of drafting skills. This beginning-to-end type of achievement gives students a feeling of real accom- plishment. Drafting I teaches the basics of lettering and gives training in the use of T-squares, triangles, di- viders, compasses, and architect's scales, some of the draftman's tools. In Drafting II, students continue us- ing skills learned in Drafting I and go into machine Sad architectural drafting. f -N-' ff- ' Carl Crofford begins a drawing in Drafting II class.

Special em- phasis was placed on safety in driving. To emphasize this idea, students were shown films of the results of careless or reckless driving. At the end of the course students were given written and driving examinations to qualify for licenses. 31 Judy Ashley mixing paint for her art class. Kathy Skaggs begins a portrait of Kay Norman.

Art I-III and commercial art are courses offered by the art department. Beginning art deals with the meaning and structure of art, color, painting, costume, and crafts. Art II covers advanced programs introduced in Art I and some specialization in craft procedures, commercial art, portrait drawing, clay modeling, carving, collage, and water color. Art III, or advanced art, is a deeply concentrated study of those units covered in Art I and II.

First year photog- raphy deals with basics of equipment and the study of photographic techniques, whereas, second year photography concerns color, portraiture, and special lighting effects. Many of the photographers' holidays, weekends, and evenings after school were devoted to making possible the pictures for the school annual and the newspaper. The photographers' skill, know-how, and promptness have preserved many memorable mo- ments from the past year. 33 Employ thy time well, and Jirzre thou are not sure of a minzlle, throw not away an hour. -Franklin N...,'- f Miss Carolyn Carpenter aids Brenda Onori in learning parts of the sewing machine.

In the ICT course students study the history and pres- ent practices of an occupation, and then work a mini- mum of fifteen hours each week on that job in some local shop or business. Unlike distributive education, ICT is more of a specialized training. These students have worked in outside businesses and, at the same time, received a formal education. This made their past year a busy but rewarding one. ICT has helped the students enrolled in its classes to plan for the fu- ture, choose a career, and, in some cases, find them- selves.

One of the ways this tradition has been kept alive has been through various school organiza- tions and activities. There is no better way to meet people with common interests than at a meeting of a favorite club, no better way of making lasting friendships than by sharing the high spirit of a pep rally or the serene beauty of a Christmas program. Having no senior class last year, many determined members of the Class of '65 spent much time helping to organize the various clubs. Sponsors who were willing to forfeit some leisure time in helping develop the character and versatility of the students had to be found. Next, students had to be alerted to the purpose and activities of each club. A number of industrious seniors took the lead in informing the student body about various organizations. Once the clubs had members, qualifications for membership and membership fees had to be established. There was the prob- lem of new members coming in and original members dropping out, creating unstable mem- berships. However, through strong leader- ship on the part of this year's senior class, clubs were organized. This year, school organizations, though still young, showed marked signs of maturity, partially because they had found in the Senior Class experienced leaders and membership. The basis upon which these clubs was established last year, and the diligence with which they have been carried out this year will deter- mine, in great part, their quality in the future. Again, it is the Class of '65 which has been a chief factor in setting the mood in which organizations have carried out their ac- tivities. The class has attempted to create clubs that are of lasting worth, not just social gatherings where nothing noteworthy is ac- complished and where goals are just meaning- less words. Though there has been a great deal of emphasis placed on having fun and developing new friendships through various activities, a serious attitude toward those projects of importance has been retained. Club officers have attempted to lead members in each club to reach its goals. Together with their sponsors, these leaders have made cer- tain that service organizations serve, and that those organizations established to give mem- bers training and experience in a given field are provided with every resource available. Not only through these organizations and their activities, but also in pep rallies, as- semblies, dances, picnics, and plays, the Class of '65 has provided leadership which has brought the student body closer together in the tradition of friendship and spirit which is so much a part of the life at Big Sam. Seniors have set the pattern which will be followed throughout the future of Sam Houston. How important the first time is in dif- ferent events! It's that first time that deter- mines whether or not a function will be an event to look forward to each year or one which is dreaded as a dull and perhaps foolish practice. In the years to come there will be other senior classes, and new traditions and ideas will be introduced. But this year's sen- iors have made a contribution that can never be repeated or matched. The Class of '65 will be known as the class which laid the foun- dation of the organizations and activities at Sam Houston High. Cheerleaders decorate goal posts before every home game.

Ionfesf P ays The National Thespian Society is a national dramatic arts honor society whose purpose is to help build character by developing poise, public speaking, and leadership in its members. Only students who have proved themselves in all areas of dramatic arts are admitted as members. Since Thespians was formed with the idea of further- ing participating in dramatic arts, enrollment in a speech is not required for membership. Rather, emphasis is placed on participation in actual dra- ma productions. The Sam Houston chapter, organized this year, began with nine members, two of whom were student directors for the senior play. Six others had parts in the play. New members were elected for second term on the basis of points earned in productions. Thespians presented a series of one-act plays for contest in May and held a play festival open to all students. Another project was organiza- tion and sponsorhsip of a drama club for neo- phytes who wished to earn points for Thespian membership.

There was more involved in this than one might suspect. Members contributed many of their summer hours in preparing for the year ahead. After school started, they could fre- quently be found outside marching during first period and on Thursday nights, regardless of the weather. Let it be cold and windy and rainy. What price glory? The students also were ex- pected to memorize all their music and know their parts well. Not all of the band's efforts were concen- trated on half-time shows, They went to the State Fair and gave a short performance during the afternoon and that night combined with massed bands and choirs to honor Henry Manci- ni. The hand also played for all pep rallies. Dur- ing basketball season, two smaller bands were formed to alternate in playing for games. In November the band earned a double I rating, the highest recognition a band can re- ceive, at the marching contest in Irving.

Japanese decorations and hostesses clad in kimonos and judo suits added to the atmos- phere. Entertainment by a combo formed of Sam Houston band students and a skit given by club members made the evening a success for mem- bers and guests who attended. Proceeds from ad- mission charges were contributed to the Christ- mas Samaritans' fund. Other activities during the year were designed to acquaint members with the cultures of foreign countries, particu- larly those of Spain, France, and Italy. Meetings held once each six weeks were planned so that members could learn through programs such as slides, lectures, musical entertainment, social events, and directed discussions. Emphasis was placed on having a few quality meetings rather than many mediocre programs.

Members provided entertainment and refresh- ments for the youngsters. Gifts in the form of large candy canes were given to each child. Another service project was collecting funds from home rooms for the Red Cross drive in the fall. Red Cross Council is principally a service organization. In the past, home rooms elected representatives to serve on the council. This year, in order to acquire a more enthusiastic membership, girls interested in the program were asked to submit their names to a panel. Members of this panel chose dependable girls who were not already overburdened with acti- vities to serve on the council. All members are sophomores and juniors and a board of sen- ior advisors offers suggestions on activities. Safety Council representatives were chosen by homerooms before Christmas vacation. They promoted traffic safety at school by partici- pating in the Green Pennant program. They al- so aided in school safety by keeping students up to date on fire drill routine. .

In the past, membership was open to all girls interested in sports. This year, only girls in the accelerated third period physical ed- ucation class could join. This insured an inter- ested membership who would have time to get the training necessary to perfect strategies of athletic teams. ln class, members practiced tech- niques used in basketball, volleyball, and track events. After school they played against the win- ners in intramurals among other physical educa- tion classes. In the spring they competed in an Interscholastic League volleyball tournament at Hurst. Later they competed in track meets against Arlington junior highs and Arlington High School. Tracksters also competed in Interscho- lastic League Competition and invitational track meets. In .lanuary a charter with a state-wide girls athletic club was signed by Mrs. Shannon Jett and Mrs. joy Tomlinson, sponsors.

A victory bell to serve as a school mascot was chosen, since the Interscholastic League has suggested no live mascots or fireworks. After a vigorous campaign to raise money for the bell, it was purchased and Bell Guards for the coming year were chosen. Students who were interested in becom- ing guards submitted an application in the spring last year. The only requirements were that they be seniors and have a sincere interest in promoting school spirit. The executive committee of the Student Council and an ad- visory board consisting ofthe coaching staff, Mrs. Myra Curry, and several teachers chose Kathy Alcala, Candy Poole, Mike Cross and Wally Bearden as '65 Bell Guards. Mr. Kenneth Carlton painted the bell and got it ready for presentation to the student body at the first pep rally of the season. Bell Guards attended all football games and participated in pep rallies. The boys were responsible for taking care of Big Sam and transporting it to and from games.

Iva fe Mafacfef Sports bring out the most outstanding as- pects of a person's character. Not only partic- ipating in, but also watching sports events, brings to the surface qualities of sportsmanship, loyalty and determination in their highest form. All of Sam Houston's athletic teams, as well as the student body, have shown fine ex- amples of these characteristics. Undefeated in non-district competition, Big Sam's varsity football team greatly improved its 2-4-0 dis- trict record from last year. With strong lead- ership from senior gridsmen and support from others of the 27 lettermen, the Texans gained the reputation of being a scrappy outfit. They proved to be more than a match for most op- ponents and those teams which slipped by Sam had to earn every yard. Attendance at all games was exceptionally good and even at out-of-town games the visitors often had more fans than the home team. The Texan B-string, consisting of juniors and the most promising sophomores, won most of their contests, much improving their last year's record of no vic- tories. Although attendance was not so strong as for the varsity squad, team spirit and sports- manship never slacked. With the coming of the new year, basket- ball season opened with seniors Walter Lowe and Alan Craig, top 10 district scorers from last year, back to lead an experienced team on the court. In addition, the best players from last year's B-string advanced to contribute to the cause. Although last year's team won only two games, the undaunted '65 round-ballers set out determined to match Big Sam's reputa- tion established on the football field in the fall. Not to be outdone, B-string players set out to improve upon history by trying to raise their 5-13 ratings set last year. Early spring brought workouts for golf and track teams. Seniors Van Perkins, Ray Hiller, John Cearnal, and Scott jones held the '64 district championship and were back this year to defend their position. Members of last year's track team were also back with more experience and improved skills. Senior track- sters led the team for the second year as they strove to break records and bring greater hon- ors to Sam Houston. Last year saw the organi- zation of a tennis team, which was stronger this year because of increased interest and support from old members and a few new ones. Tryouts for baseball started late in the basketball season. Although the Texan team made a good showing last year with only juniors and the best sophomores playing, they came back this spring in an effort to carry on Big Sam's reputation as a fearsome opponent. Many players had gained additional experience through Teen-Age Baseball and American Le- gion programs in the summer and proved to be an important asset. In addition to the Interscholastic athlet- ic teams, physical education classes had teams in football, volleyball, basketball and soccer which competed in intramurals between the different classes. Boys also competed for indi- vidual recognition in physical fitness skills. Girls also had experienced athletic teams. The most skillful girls were picked from the different physical education classes and, with girls on last year's teams, competed in intra- mural and interscholastic contests in basket- ball, volleyball and track. The first Big Sam Bell Guards are Kathy Alcala, Candy Poole, Mike Cross, and Wally Bearden. Rig-fam 7 sm Houston HIGH ARLINGIQNJEX.

B fb :LN 34 feam Has Pwhllflly This year the Sam Houston football team, with more experience than last year, had a successful sea- son. The Texans started the season with four wins in a row over Lake Worth, Fort Worth Tech, Decatur and Duncanville. They dropped the fifth game to highly ranked Weatherford, then defeated Diamond Hill. The season record was better than last year's record of two victories. Our team is a group of boys that will hustle and hit hard. This is what carried them through the game, said Coach Elo Nohavitza. The Texan line was smaller than some of the teams Sam Houston played. It averaged 170 pounds. The Texans' spirit and fight they put into every game made the difference. When this team and the student body leave Sam Houston, they will not leave behind them the memo- ries of a great team. Rather, the thrills experienced as the Texans put another score on the board will go with the fans as they leave Sam Houston for college or a career. r : as J. Matthews, D. Thomas, G.

The Texans came out on top with a score of 39-6 over Lake Worth. The Texans won the toss and elected to receive. The powerful Texan offense moved the ball deep into Bull- frog territory. The first score came when Jimmy Mat- thews, last year's all-district player, ran 29 yards for a thrilling touchdown. Big Sam kicked off and the Texan defense went to work. A quick pass play caught the Texans off guard and the Frogs scored their first points, which tied the game up 6-6. The next Texan score came on a pass play from Neil Kirk to Terry Cozby, who carried the ball all the way for a 36-yard touchdown play. Cozby made good the extra point attempt, which left 'the score 13- 6. The next touchdown was set by Timmy Mat- thews, who ran the ball from the Texan 46 yard line all the way to the Bullfrog 6, Dewayne Thomas then took a hand off and ran in for the score. The extra point was good, and the Texans had a 20-6 margin. The Tex- ans scored again and again, and the final score came in the closing seconds of the game when Ricky Ward scored, closing it up with a 39-6 Texan victory. 112 Neil Kirk Quarterback Jimmy Matthews Halfback Bobby Kolenovsky Guard ' v v John Coalson End Mx Craig Kirk Quarterback Dewayne Thomas Tai lback jimmy Matthews races across goal line for the Texans' only touch- down. - fexans leash Raffdogs The game against the Fort Vlforth Tech Bulldogs was mainly a defensive game by both teams. This was the Texans' second non-district game with a victory of 7-0 over Tech. In the last few seconds of the first half, the Texans threatened the Tech goal when quarterback Neil Kirk threw Terry Cozby a pass. Cozby caught the ball near rnid-field and took it to the seven yard line. Time was about out, so the Texans tried a field goal which failed. In the second half both teams went in fighting and determined to win. In the second half the Texan offen- sive line went to work when halfback Dewayne Thomas carried the ball several times to put the Texans in scor- ing position. Then halfback jimmy Matthews took over and made the first touchdown with a running play. Terry Cozby kicked the extra point, which made the score 7-0. The Texans failed to score again, but held the Bulldogs scoreless. In final seconds, the Texans made a threat to the Bulldogs' goal line but failed to make the touchdown. Last year when Big Sam played Tech the score was 20-12 in favor of the Bulldogs. This year the score was 7-0 in favor of Big Sam. The game was indicative of things to come. 113 LP.

Colliflower went fifty yards for the Roos' first score. The try for the extra. point failed, and the half ended 6-3. The second half began with the Texans stop- ping the Roos' first drive. Sam Houston went on for a forty-yard drive which was killed when Kirk was stopped on a fourth-down sweep. The Roos then took over and scored near the end of the third quarter.

Of the thirty-sevengridmen this year, nineteen were senior lettermen, and they played their last high school football season to a 7-3 close. Among the many outstanding senior players, three received awards for their notable efforts. These awards were voted on by fel- low teammates. Terry Cozby was chosen as most valu- able playerg Neil Kirk as best backg and Larry Weir as best lineman. These awards were presented at the foot- ball banquet, held january 15 at the ASC Student Cen- ter. It was sponsored by the Greater Arlington Lions Club, which presented Weir with the best Sportsman award.

There were, of course, many sopho- mores enrolled. In addition, many juniors and seniors took the course and acted as leaders to help teach soph- omores how Big Sam's students participate in the many sports. The physical education department has various types of equipment which students enjoy using. The chinning bar is a favorite of P.E. students and football players. Two climbing ropes hanging from the ceiling 9Q'! t .- n svn j gf-img ga: f -1, 41' 1' .fwkfm in the gym also provide much fun. Physical education is required of sophomores and is open as an elective to upperclassmen. The depart- ment is taught by Coaches Jerry Griffin and Elo N0- havitza for the boys and by Mrs. joy Tomlinson and Mrs. Shannon Iett for the girls. The department provides various types of recrea- tion such as football, basketball, soccer, track events and baseball. Intramural champions are selected by hav- ing class team champions play other class champions. Two football teams in first period physical education consist of R. Shannon, R. Todd, D. Hollo- way, G.

Their laughter and tears bring warmth into the coldness of an institution. lt is their char- acter and enthusiasm that molds their activi- ties into projects which may or may not make their school a credit to the community. In short, they create the personality and reputa- tion of a school. Sam Houston has a student body capable of making the school the pride of Arlington. just as each person is unique, each class has its own personality. Each makes its own unique contribution to the make-up of Sam Houston. Sophomores have a great influence on the personality of Big Sam. Withotit them, life at Sam Houston might settle into a rut with only the same old ideas and traditions in circula- tion. The Sophomore Class brings with it the freshness and interest of the new and different. They bring their new ideas and outlooks. Their enthusiasm for all school events and tireless school spirit are a reminder to the entire stu- dent body that all are Texans, each a part of Big Sam. The Junior Class helped to organize Sam Houston last year as sophomores. They are well-acquainted with their position of next to the top class. This class serves as a stabi- lizing element of Sam Houston. They are the unifying force between the inexperienced and over-anxious sophomores and the wiser and more sophisticated seniors, thus being able to keep relations among classes smooth. The Senior Class has made some of the most important contributions to Sam Houston. It is primarily because of the seniors that Big Sam is the kind of school it is. They were in- dispensable in the organization of the school. They have made important contributions by leading the other classes through the maze of problems which are inevitable with the crea- tion of a new school. In addition, seniors have been fundamental in setting the basic tradi- tions of Sam Houston and creating the friend- ly atmosphere that is so important to the per- sonality of Sam Houston. Some contributions cannot be attributed to any one class, although the Class of '65 must be credited with leadership in most activities. Members of each class participated in the vari- ous sports and helped create Sam's reputation as a formidable opponent, whether on the field or the court or the diamond. Likewise, each class has a claim to partial credit for partici- pation in Interscholastic League literary events. Each has had a part in band and choral activ- ities: each has supported school parties and activities. Other aspects of life at Sam Houston can- not be regarded as contributions but, never- theless, they are the things perhaps remem- bered best about high school life. They are the everyday sounds and sights and atmosphere that make Big Sam different from any other school. No particular person or class or any one group of people can be held responsible for these. Each day begins and ends with the squeals of rubber as everyone hurries to get a parking space or rushes to get out of one be- fore the daily traffic jam. Students waiting for the doors to open in the morning, standing in line before lunch and greeting friends as they make their way through crowded halls are all typical scenes. Perhaps most characteristic of Big Sam is the atmosphere of friendliness and equality that lets each person feel that he is truly an important part of Sam Houston High. Senior hands in a circle symbolize the tie between school and students. Senior .Ness fsfablfsffes flfew ff60,l'flUl76' The year that Sam Houston High School had its first Senior Class was a year full of new traditions and customs. The year before, Sam Houston juniors and sophomores had set traditions. But the Class of '65 set the final traditions that seniors would follow in suc- ceeding years. Students of 1965-64 realized the difficulty of mak- ing a new school fit into the pattern that was cut out for it. The juniors set the traditions of a junior party, the first one held on january 31, 1964, a junior play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, held on April 16 and 17, and a junior prom, Isle of Enchantment, held on May 9. Through donations, the Class of '65 pur- chased a victory bell. This victory bell was used at the football games in 1964-65. Though Sam Houston won only two football games in its first year, the tradition of fighting hard and fair was set by the football team, a tradition carried on at other ball games School spirit and pride soon became two more traditions. These classes should remember the joys, sorrows, and achieve- ments that helped make the first year of Sam Houston High School a memorable one. Sam Houston ended its first year with most of its school traditions set, but more were to come. Big Sam Day helped set the tradition for more and better school spirit. Democratic school elections set another tradi- tion. Selecting a football sweetheart became still an- other tradition. The selection of class favorites was a ,. 33 A tttt aa 1 Examining graduation gowns are senior sponsors Mr. Kenneth Pickett. Mr. David Bohannon, Mrs. Caroline Waddell,and MfS- Margaret Tannahill. Trying on caps and gowns are senior officers Patty Kalan, social chairrnani David Gerth, president: Fred Romano, social tradition set by sophomores and juniors before there was a Senior Class, but seniors added to that tradition by choosing Senior Class favorites. Through the help of the American Field Service the tradition of having a foreign student was established. The first student was Per Skold of Sweden. Seniors set the final traditions. The customs of a senior play, a senior party, the first held in December, and a senior prom in May were left up to the Senior Class. With the first Senior Class came the tradition of a Mr. and Miss Sam Houston High School. The honor of being Mr. and Miss School Spirit was bestowed up- on two members of the first Senior Class. Another first was the selection of top ten seniors, who took the place of Who's Who from 1963-64. Not only will seniors remember the traditions they chairmang Sherry Suggs, secretary: and Larry Weir, vice-presi- dent. set, but they will also recall little events that occurred throughout that year. The victory bell rang at most of the football games and the victory flag flew in the wind. Seniors will remember that sophomores had to sing the school fight song for them on Big Sam Day. They will remember the noise of the construction and the treks out to those temporary buildings. The au- thority seniors possessed over underclassmen was a new experience, The traditions having been set, their senior year came briskly to a close. Graduation day seemed closer. Seniors weren't seniors long. It all end- ed too soon. The door to the world was openg the door to the past three years was closed. With minds filled with knowledge and hearts full of hope, the young men and women walked through the open door to big- ger and better things. 149 All!!

Members have played a large part in establishing the traditions which are the foundation of Big Sam. Last year they participated in many firsts and made school history with a few firsts of their own. As the first.Sophomore Class, they were the first class to sing for upperclassmen on Big Sam Day, the first to have a sophomore social, and the first sophomore class to contribute cheerleaders and varsity squad athletes. As the graduating class of 1966, they will be the first class to have completed all three of their high school years at Sam Houston. One of the greatest factors in making the Junior Class successful is the abundance of energetic leaders. jackie Brandon, twice selected class favorite, Was elect- ed as Sophomore and junior Class president. juniors showed their confidence in Gayle Bray by electing her as their Sophomore Class vice-president, junior Class secretary, and then junior favorite. Gene Shull, vice- president for '65, and social chairmen Mickey Eddle- man and Carole Anderson, complete the staff of class officers. Of no less importance are the leaders in ath- letic events. Helping boost school spirit Were junior cheerleaders Carole Anderson, Peachy Sims and Caro- lyn Duval, as boys from the junior Class participated in both varsity and B-string athletic contests. But more than outstanding leaders is needed to Helping juniors with school activities is the duty of junior sponsors Mr. james Hyden, Mrs. Nelda Shipley, Mrs. Mary jo Baker, and Mr. Bill Darland. 178 Helping to decorate for the junior social are officers Mickey Eddleman, boys' social thairmang Gayle Bray, secretaryg Car- make a class. Each person contributes his own unique talents and personality to make his class special. With- out' the support and spirit that each individual gives, the class would amount to nothingf The Class of '66 consists of energetic students who have supported their school by participating in all activities open to them. In addition to participating in various school and class socials, juniors were the middlemenn on Big Sam Day. They provided entertainment for the student body through the Junior Play and ended their reign as the in-between class with -thejunior Prom. Many in- dividuals in the class helped form the membership of school-sponsored organizations, some played in the band or sang in the choir and several served their school as library and office assistants. Some of the most talent- i ole Anderson, girls' social chairmang Gene'Shull, vice-presi- dentg and Jackie Brandon, president. ed juniors contributed by giving time and effort to ath- letic and scholastic competition. Being the middle class, the juniors helped to unify the school. They were the bridge between the enthusiasm of sophomores and the dependability of seniors, corn- bining elements of both qualities. Whenever there was a job to be done, the class could be counted on to stick with it until the last detail was carried out. They nev- er failed to give their fullest support and best efforts to any task they tackled. These qualities have helped build the character and establish the atmosphere for which Sam Houston is known to all who have come in contact with its student body. These same qualities will cer- tainly benefit the junior Class as they take on greater responsibilities in leading Big Sam as the Class of '66. 179 JUIIIDI6' 01'.s',0 fay !fm'f'w'o'1fa! fafefz is Q 4 .4-sq, 17 vi 1 1, 1 s iw Linda Aaron Delores Adkins Charlie Alexander Ronnie Allison ,abr Sherry Allison Carole Anderson Elaine Anderson iii? 59 'Yr Lynne Anderson .Qfy'. 1 hw ZX Ng---' -.. if ' as - 'Ns fa- Roy Anderson Paula Arbuckle Ellen Armstrong Mary Nell Armstrong Suzette Armstrong ,lame Arnett Sherry Ashcraft Trudy Burks and the other cheerleaders pin mums on Mrs joy Tomlinson and Mrs. Shannon Jett at the last pep rally.

Hass af '67 ffzfefs flfew Saxton! Woffo' In 1964, the second sophomore class entered Sam Houston. Having the largest class enrollment in the short history of the school, sophomores prided them- selves on their many outstanding and capable students. For them it was an entrance into a world entirely dif- ferent from any they had known before in school life. They were quickly caught up in the atmosphere of friendliness and democracy so characteristic of Sam Houston. Much to their pleasant surprise, they re- ceived greater respect from juniors and seniors than they had expected, because of the feeling of class equal- ity which prevails at Sam Houston. Members of the newest class were thrilled to find that greater freedom and more privileges were given to them than ever be- fore because faculty members felt Big Sam students were mature enough to accept freedom with responsi- bility. Sophomores adopted this new attitude with ease and soon came to realize that they contributed a large part of the spirit and personality of Big Sam. Their first undertaking as a class was to elect Da- vid Farhat as their president. He was to be assisted by vice-president Dan Dorman, secretary Bruce Cox, and social chairmen Sharon Huebsch and Bill Flem- ing. As soon as officers were elected, a date for Big Sam Day was decided upon and surprised sophomores fell victims to a Big Sam Day one day earlier than an- nounced, a trick contrived by sneaky upperclassmen. A new tradition was established as grumbling sopho- mores were greeted by a large pair of Mouseketeer' ears at the building entrance, erected by junior and sen- ior pranksters. Thereafter, unwilling but good-na- tured sophomores were referred to as Mickey Mouses.' Although they started the day in dire dread of the e- vent, most sophomores admitted to enjoying the atten- 1 9 Inspecting the contents of a picnic basket for the school pic- nic are sophomore sponsors Mr. Roger Richardson, Miss Eliz- abeth Banks, Mrs. Betty Young, and Mr. Bob Tarver. 202 ww n 4 4 ' 2 .1 xt With their Mickey Mouse ears are sophomore officers: Shar- on Huebsch, girls' social chairmang Dan Dorman, vice-presi- tion. In an assembly concluding Big Sam Day activities, two sophomores were given uspecial awards for being outstanding in their field. Bruce Cox was awarded a pair of hose for being the class secretary with the best figure and good-natured Dan Dorman was called for- ward with Mr. james Crouch as they received cans of Sego diet drink and Top Star Food for Athletes, res- pectively. The rest of the year, sophomores worked to make their presence felt as they enthusiastically supported all aspects of school life. After being initiated with an overwhelming defeat in the class victory yell at the first pep rally, determined sophomores retaliated by supplying a great deal of the spirit inherent at all sports events. The sophomore class contributed out- standing players to all athletic teams. They were especi- ally proud of their representative on the varsity foot- ball team, David Farhat, who was the only one of his class to receive a letter for his efforts on the football field. In addition, sophomore gridsters made up the Bill dentg David Farhat, presidentg Bruce Cox, secretaryg Fleming, boys' social chairman. greatest part of the B-string squad, which set a new sea- son record of 6-3-1. In other interscholastic sports, sophomore athletes made outstanding contributions on B-string basketball and track teams. Terry Twomey moved up from the B-team to the A-team in basketball in mid-season. Sophomores supported other school activities through acting as reporters for the school newspaper, representing their class as Student Council members, and participating in all school organizations open to them. They boasted annual staff representatives, as well as office and library assistants. In addition, class mem- bers made contributions through the band and choir, with several sophomores qualifying for all-region choir. By the end of the year, they had acquired experi- ence by participating in many activities, in preparation for more prominent positions in the years to come. They are sure to tackle even bigger and more memorable pro- jects in the future at Big Sam. 203 fllfbkey Mouse hu Cynthia Ackcr jim Acrcc sw ' if? .

Many persons shared the responsibilities in making this an- nual a success, and a few have given help which has been invaluable and often indispensable. These people took time from their own activities and made a special effort to give advice and aid, not because they expected thanks or gratitude, but because they shared a genuine interest in the Cherokee. In the rush to get the annual to press, staff members may have forgotten to show their gratefulness. So the '65 Cherokee Staff wishes here to express its deep appreciation to the following for services above and beyond what might be expected of the ordinary supporter: To Coach Wallace johnson and his photography staff who took and re-took annual pictures. Special thanks go to Tom Bryson, who could be counted on to show up at any time or place, regardless of personal inconvenience, to fill our picture needs, To the administrative staff, who have always been willing to advise yearbook staff members and have helped solve innumerable behind-the-scenes problems, To members of the faculty who patiently allowed 226 students to have pictures taken and allowed staff mem- bers to miss class while on annual business, and espe- cially to the English teachers, who helped collect pic- ture money, and to homeroom teachers, who tolerated daily interruptions of their classes during package plan drives, To Dan Dorman, who good-naturedly answered our constant pleas for help on sophomore sports and activities sections, To Barbara Guenzel and Linda Clark who have helped in all phases of yearbook work since mid-term, To Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Pendleton, who took school pictures and helped keep secrets from Sam Hous- ton's senior personalities. Editors of that section want- ed to conceal the identities of Mr. and Miss SHHS un- til the spring. To help do this, the Pendletons called those students involved and told them to come have their pictures made as publicity shots. As a result, the Cherokee had its pictures of celebrities in appropriate dress without revealing this closely guarded secret. And, most of all, to Mrs. Louise Gilbreath, with- out whose advice and guidance the annual could not have been possible.

The year brought approximately four hundred new faces to Big Sam. Those students who at- tended Sam Houston in '63-'64 saw a great change in the building itself. Several auxil- iary buildings and twenty-four new class- rooms in a third wing were added to accom- modate the increase in enrollment. Mental growth through experience also marked the year for Sam Houston students. With the first graduating class came many new events, decisions, and experiences for members of the Class of '65. Decisions to be made included choice of graduation gown color fred was selectedj, time of baccalau- reate service, and choice of students who would represent the class in various activi- ties. Invitations and caps and gowns were ordered. Upperclassmen, wanting to make their last year in high school the best, eagerly participated in sports and clubs. The prom and play were great successes, with the play attracting a record attendance for Arling- ton school productions. The juniors, too, gave their best efforts throughout the year to make school life a success. Large numbers tried out for the jun- ior play and took part in Foreign Fortnight. Excitement in their smiles was evident as they ordered their class rings and moved a step closer to their own graduation day. Sophomores, too, were a great part of life at Sam Houston. Although these Texans did not have many class activities, they gave their full support to sports, clubs, and other school events. Their first year at Sam Hous- ton proved to be an unusual experience for them. They will long remember their sur- prise when Big Sam Day was secretly moved up one day earlier and they found Mickey Mouse ears greeting their arrival at the front entrance one morning. Each student will remember Sam Hous- ton's first foreign exchange student, Per Skold, who arrived in mid-August and quick- ly made a place for himself among his Amer- ican brothers and sisters. Seniors, juniors, and sophomores alike hope he will carry as many fine memories of his life in America to his Swedish friends as he has left here with his American ones. Like a diamond, the memories of the year's joys and sorrows are forever. In the future, may this yearbook bring back those memories of an eventful year.
