ndian CHEROKEE 1962 Published by Sam Houston High School San Antonio, Texas Volume XVIX ANY MOONS AGO THERE LIVED A BRAVF CHEROKEE INDIAN CHIEF NAMED KALI- JUH, WHO WAS DEVOTED TO HIS BLOOD- BROTHER FRIEND, SAM HOUSTON. ONE DAY AS THE TWO FRIENDS DIVED INTO THE WATER FOR A SWIM, KALUUH STRUCK HIS HEAD ON AN UNDERWATER ROCK. QUICKLY, HIS LOYAL FRIEND SAVED HIM FROM DROWNING. THE CHEROKEES CAME TO HONOR THE NAME OF SAM HOUSTON, WHOM THEY CALLED ;’THE RAVEN, BECAUSE OF HIS BLACK HAIR AND BRAVE DEEDS. THE TIME PASSED, AND SAM HOUSTON HAD TO LEAVE THE PEACEFUL VILLAGE TO FIGHT FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF TEXAS. SOON AFTER, WHILE SEARCHING FOR BET- TER HUNTING GROUNDS, KALUUH TOOK SEVERAL FAMILES FROM THE ORIGINAL TRIBE AND FORMED A VILLAGE ON A LARGE GRASSY PLAIN IN THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE OLD TOWN OF SAN ANTONIO. THE VILLAGE WAS CALLED SAM HOUSTON AFTER THE MAN WHO HAD BEEN SO CLOSE TO THE CHEROKEE TRIBE. MANY MOONS LATER IN THIS SAME COMMUNITY, WORK WAS BEGUN ON ANEW RESERVATION FOR THE YOUNG CHEROKEES. IN PLACE OF THE TEPEE VILLAGE, IN THE WAVING SEA OF GRASS, HOWEVER, A BIG, BEAUTIFUL, ULTRA MODERN SCHOOL BUILDING STOOD IN ITS PLACE. THE INHABITANTS. 600 IN NUMBER BY 1962, WERE NOT INDIANS BY BIRTH, BUT THEIR HERITAGE CAUSED THEM TO NAME THEIR RESER- VATION SAM HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL AND TO TAKE AS THEIR MASCOT THE STALWART CHEROKEE INDIAN.

THE CHEROKEE WARRIORS WERE PRE- PARING FOR THE COMING SKIRMISHES OF FOOTBALL SEASON. WHILE THE CHEROKETTS AND THE CHERO- KEE BAND WERE BUSILY PREPARING ENTERTAINMENT FOR THESE GAMES. IN CHEROKEE CLASSROOMS, UNDER THE ABLE DIRECTION OF THE CHIEFTAINS. THE BRAVES AND MAIDENS WORKED STUDIOUSLY ON THEIR CRAFTS. THE FIRST GRADING PERIOD SAW STUDENTS LISTED ON THE HONOR ROLL.

Fine spirit is dis- played throughout the year by the organizations represented here. Pep rallies are held featuring Kalijuh, the Cherokee mascot, played by Randy Johnson. Fall Activities Cherokee village burst into activity with the opening of school September 6. During the annual Howdy Week spon- sored by the school organizations students became acquainted as they joined together for the purpose of promoting Cherokee spirit. In addition to games played in San Antonio, the foot- ball team traveled to Kingsville, Port Lavaca. Del Rio. and Houston. Symbols of spirit were evident throughout the school as halls overflowed with decals, yell books, pennants, and rab- bits' feet. Posters and decorations telling of coming games covered the walls. In classcooms students were busy begin- ning term projects while teachers set deadlines for assign- ments. Imaginative drills by the Cherokee Band and Chero- ketts highlighted the football games. All clubs and organi- zations worked together to increase school pride and spirit that will be remembered for years to come. To Nancy Fisher, taking absentee reports from doors is already be- ginning to be routine. Anyone who approaches Ronnie Neely saying Lacheeda had bet- ter turn and run. This novelty yell was done by cheerleaders, Carol Norville, Sissy Tadlock, Sharon Spillman, Carol Persyn, and Carol Moore. 20 Acquaint Students Louise Berryhill, winner of the DAR award, and Bobby Weaver, com- mended for a National Merit schol- arship, pause from a busy schedule to discuss plans for the National Honor Society. These campus lead- ers highly deserve the honor bestowed upon them. Central Catholic Buttons, Helen Heinesh, Sherry Teel, Frances Nieman, Pat Robel, and Lynda Tope, run their waltz play on signal from Coach, Sarah Villarreal. Karen Wright went so wild over Elmo Pretzel’s singing at the FTA's Cademy Awards that she fainted and had to be dragged away by Carl Jones. 21 Jean Sammons and Fred Bean were chosen by the faculty as Citizens of the Month for October. Citizens are selected on basis of moral character and service to the school. Jean is president of the FNA, and Fred is president of the H-Club. Typical of a day at SH is the mad rush to the cafe- teria, as hungry students scramble for a place in line. Support Functions Senior mathematicians? Wesley Robinson hopes that Gibson Hoffman and John McKay know their arithmetic as well as how to use cash registers. Chosen Citizens of the Month for September were Karen Wright, co-editor of the Raven, and Alice Rittimann, vice-president of the Student Council. It looks as if Fred Farner is having a hard time trying to con- vince Linda Edwards, Louise Berryhill, Connie Campbell, and Judy Baker to use his act in the FTA show. Karen Wright already looks convinced. Spirit Festivities Presented at the football banquet were awards for spirit girl and pinup boy. Carol Moore, the little gal with the big voice, was chosen by the varsity as the girl with the most spirit. The Cheroketts chose Jimmy Crumbliss as the ideal boy for good looks, friendliness, and versatility. JUST BLUFFING Highlighting the gridiron season was the night pep rally at Eastwood Shopping Center. Carol Persyn, Bobby Grassmuck, Lynda Tope and Sandy Faulk await the crowds of cheering Cherokee fans. Highlight of Fall Cheerleaders, Carol Moore, Sharon Spillman, Carol Persyn, Carol Norville, and Frances Tadlock, seem pleased with Mr. Campbell's announcement. Starring in the FTA show were Martha Ray, un- boat Trailor, and Freddie Isher, played by Don Kubicek, Chester Beyer, and Connie Campbell. Mr. Bankston’s advisory wins everything, ” cry stu- dents, as Pat Moravits, Joyce Buckelew, and Beverly Mergele decorate for Spirit Week. ITH THE APPROACH OF WINTER THE AIR WAS VIBRANT WITH A SENSE OF VICTORY IN THE CHEROKEE INDIAN VILLAGE. THE MIGHTY CHEROKEE WAR- RIORS WHO HAD EXCELLED ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD WERE TROUNCING THEIR OPPO- NENTS IN BASKETBALL, WHILE THE CHEROKEE BAND HAD HONORED THE VILLAGE BY A SPLENDID PERFORM- ANCE IN MARCHING CONTEST. IN LATE DECEMBER THE MAIDENS AND WARRIORS GATHERED TOGETHER FOR THE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM WHICH CONSISTED OF CHRISTMAS CAROLS SUNG BY THE CHOIR AND THE BEAUTIFUL NATIVITY STORY PRESENTED BY THE DRAMA DEPARTMENT. CHRISTMAS VACATION PASSED RAPIDLY, AND THE CHEROKEES RETURNED TO CLASSES. MID TERM EXAMINATIONS WERE PASSED. AND AGAIN HONORS WERE PILED UPON THE DESERVING BRAVES AND MAIDENS. ST. VALENTINE'S DAY CAME, AND SOON THE ACTIVITY-FILLED WINTER MONTHS WERE OVER IN THE CHEROKEE INDIAN VILLAGE.

To begin the holiday season, the Cheroketts had a feast at the Barn Door in honor of the football team, This was followed by the opening of an exciting sea- son of basketball, climaxed by the annual basketball banquet. The gay jingle of the Christmas season was introduced by a Christmas assembly and dance spon- sored by the drama classes. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year rang through the halls. The new year of 1962 began with a score of new resolutions. Students came back from vacation ready for mid- term exams. Valentine's Day was highlighted by singing valentines. Soon the cool winter breezes dis- appeared and closed another chapter of the year at Sam Houston. Crowding together to keep warm, Carol Stewart, Susan Weaver, and Peggy Behrendt wait for the morn- ing bell. SH girls in Mrs. Bradley's class acquire skill in sewing through hard work and careful planning. PRING’S ARRIVAL IN THE IN- DIAN VILLAGE FOUND THE CHEROKEES IN A FLURRY OF PLAYS, CONCERTS. PICNICS.

Bobby Weaver, NHS president; Karen Wright, Raven co-editor; Bruce Woods, Senior Class vice-president; Judy Baker, Student Council presi- dent; Sandy Faulk, Junior Class vice-president; and Donald Pfeifer, Junior Class president, are all set for an evening of dancing and enjoyment. 31 Sunny Days Brin Spring finally arrived in Cherokee-land. Blue skies, spring breezes, and green grass brought a new feeling to the reservation. Gazing out the windows, students dreamed of swimming, picnics, and boat rides. Seniors cherished their last days. Gradually daydreams became realities. Class picnics, proms, school elections, sports, and parades were all a part of the new exciting season. The Senior Prom was given by the juniors, who were already wondering who would be the leaders of the Class of '63. Participation in track and tennis filled the athletic program. Beautiful formals and Easter outfits delighted the maidens. Finally the awaited day ar- rived as the seniors enjoyed the thrills of graduation and be- gan to look forward to a wonderful summer and the road that lay ahead for them. Carol Moore isn't really a Ubangi wild woman. She's just back-combing her hair as do other SH beauties. Beauties! ? Spring Activities Wow! Look at all the trophies we've won this year, exclaim Lynda Daughtry and Barbara Syma as they admire the Cherokee tro- phy case. Cool spring breezes and a natural love of machines draw these H Club'ers to an old Model A outside the Barn Door restaurant. Receiving their new football jac- kets from Coach Crocker are proud lettermen, Richard Hassman, guard, and Danny Martinez, halfback. It looks as If Jace Jackson was bitten by the bug. Does he really have a severe case of spring fever, or is he just lazy? Signs With evidence of spring cleaning, Mr Fairchild's cleanup committee, John Anz, Harold Stlckel, Elmer Hudson, and Ollie McKinney, dutifully keeps the shop grounds in order. Anyone object to Helen Heinesh's way of cooling off? Proof of what all work and no play can do is Duncan Parks, sleeping soundly after hitting the books. of Spring Everywhere Bobby Grassmuck is not convinced that he cannot be a cheerleader. Sherry Teel, Sharon Spillman, and Sandra Kret practice, while Bobby imitates their motions. With outer space prominently in the news, it's no wonder the Cheroketts chose this as the theme for the Green and White Prom-at the Ramada Inn. Cheryl HighlevT Sherry GustaTsoifo and Carol Nor- ville shop for appropriate decorations. Picnicing in the park, according to Pat Robel, Diane Bohannon, Lethea Hill, and Sherry Teel, is just what the doctor ordered for hot sunny days. To achieve scholastic excellence, one must put studying first. Alvin Crowder, Eddie Owens, and Ronny Ryan illustrate this in preparing for the UIL Interscholastic Meet. Seniors Part Taking with them fond memories of their lives at Sam Houston, students look back on the halls of their beloved school. This was a great year filled with activities, laughter, and study. Sam Houston had the largest enrollment in its history. Everyone worked and studied together to make the year rich in knowledge and experience. The wonderful memories of this year will never be forgotten. A part of us now, they are engraved in our hearts. Marvin Bennett demonstrates good form in polevaulting, as he strains to clear the goal. How does Terry Quiroga at- tract such lovelies as Vicky Turner and Crystal Krueger? Is it because he is basketball pinup boy? Officers of Mrs. Mahan's advisory contribute to the great success of CHEROKEE subscriptions by boosting their advisory to become 100% in sales. To Rosemary Schaffner, warm spring weather means Bring out the tennis togs. Judy Baker, Student Council president, introduces Alice Rittimann, candidate for next year's prexy. Symbols of happy and memorable days at Sam Houston High, the senior rings will be treasured for years to come. Braves and Maidens Chapter III HEROKEE BRAVES AND MAIDENS, DIVIDED IN- TO THREE GROUPS: SOPHOMORE, JUNIOR, AND SENIOR, VIED WITH ONE ANOTHER FOR THE HIGHEST MARKS AND FOR LEADERSHIP IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. THE THREE, WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CHIEF- TAINS, LEARNED CRAFTS AND ACQUIRED WIS- DOM PASSED DOWN FROM THE ELDERS. IN THIS WAY THEY BROUGHT HONOR UPON THE RESER- VATION AND ASSURED THE ATTAINMENT OF THEIR GOALS. SENIOR CHEROKEES AIDED LOWER CLASSMEN, AND AS THE MEMBERS OF EACH SUC- CEEDING CLASS HAVE VENTURED OUT OF THE CONFINES OF THE RESERVATION, THEY HAVE FOUND THAT THEY POSSESS THE HIGH IDEALS THAT MARK A SAM HOUSTON GRADUATE. SEN- IOR CHEROKEES WERE THE BRAVES AND MAIDENS ON THE THRESHOLD OF COMPLETING THEIR HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION. A LONG SUCCESSION OF YEARS FILLED WITH SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN EXTRACURRICULAR AC- TIVITIES HAS HELPED INSTILL THE QUALITIES OF LEADERSHIP INTO EACH ONE OF THESE SENIORS. NOW. THOUGH THIS CHAPTER OF THEIR LIVES IS CLOSING. A NEW AND DIFFERENT VOLUME IS OPENING BEFORE THEM. 38 Senior Class Officers Carol Moore, president; Jean Sammons, treasurer; Joyce Luddeke, secretary; Carol Persyn, sergeant-at-arms; Bruce Woods, vice-president; Richard Hassman, sergeant- at-arms; James Crumbliss, parliamentarian.

Under the baton of Mr. Stan Psencik, the band has carried the banner of Sam Houston with pride and honor. Band rehearsals began in June for new sophomores and continued throughout August. During the last week in August, the entire band, complete with bag and baggage, spent a week in camp. 128 Has Successful Year Rehearsing for football season, this week of work and recreation was spent on the campus of Texas Lutheran College. It ended with a concert in the college cafe- teria. Among the year’s activities, in which the band par- ticipated were the University of Texas Band Day, Veterans' Day Parade, U.I.L. Marching Contest, Christmas Concert, St. Mary’s University Concert Clinic, Fie9ta, Rodeo, and Flambeau Parades, and numerous Pop Concerts. Band expenses are supplemented by the Band Booster Club, a most helpful service group made up of par- ents and friends. Not only do they help financially, but their encouraging words are a large factor in the building of the fine band program at Sam Houston. Already looking forward to next year, the band has a promising list of prospects.

Besides performing in half-time shows and drill routines at the games, the spirited Cheroketts strive to serve the school and community. In backing the athletic teams, the Cheroketts spon- sored pep rallies and banquets. The climax of the year's program is the Green and White Prom, at which cheerleaders and officers for the next year are announced.

In spite of beginning with only eight lettermen and two offensive start- ers, the Cherokees had the highest scoring team in the history of Sam Houston. An all-time scoring record for a Sam Houston player was set by Wesley Robinson with a total of 116 points, which placed him first in District 14AAA. Randy Johnson with 68 points was third, while Fred Farner with 54 points placed sixth. With three wins and one loss, the Cherokees finished second in final district standings. For next year the University Interscholastic League has shuf- fled the districts so that football schedules for almost every public school in South Texas will be affected. Sam Houston will keep the same district number (14AAA) but will have a completely new set of district foes: Beeville, Cuero, Gonzales, New Braunfels, San Marcos, and Seguin. Coach Crocker commented on the '61 team: The boys did a tremendous job this year, and we are very proud of them.

HAPPINESS, HON- ESTY, RELIGION, AND HARD WORK. THEY HAVE FOUGHT AN UNENDING BATTLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE GOALS AND FOLLOW THE TRADITIONS SET FORTH BY THEIR ANCESTORS. TOILING WITH DETERMINATION, THEY HAVE ENDURED A MUL- TITUDE OF HARDSHIPS AND SETBACKS, BUT THEIR REWARD HAS BEEN A GOLDEN HARVEST OF GLORY REFLECTING UPON THEMSELVES AND THEIR SCHOOL. EVERYTHING THE CHEROKEES UNDER- TOOK THIS YEAR HAS BEEN SPICED WITH LAUGH- TER AND HAPPINESS. A BREATHLESS JOY IN SHAR- ING THINGS TOGETHER HAS COME FROM THE WILLINGNESS TO WORK AND PLAY TOGETHER. DURING THE YEARS WITHIN SAM HOUSTON’S WALLS IN WHICH THE CHEROKEES HAVE STRIVED FOR SCHOLASTIC EXCELLENCE, THEY HAVE LEARNED VALUABLE LESSONS WHICH COULD NEV- ER HAVE BEEN GAINED FROM ANY BOOK: HOW TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS AND HOW TO ESTABLISH HIGH STANDARDS OF LIFE BY QUALITY RATHER THAN BY QUANTITY. SO WELL HAVE THE BRAVES AND MAIDENS LEARN- ED THESE THINGS THAT WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR THEM TO LEAVE THEIR BELOVED SAM HOUS- TON AND GO OUT INTO THE GREAT WORLD BE- YOND THE RESERVATION, THE CHEROKEES WILL BE UNAFRAID. THEY ARE WELL PREPARED TO LEAD THE TOTALLY DIFFERENT LIFE THEY WILL MEET JUST OVER THE HORIZON. INDEED, THE 1961-62 CHEROKEES OF SAM HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL HAVE CREATED A PATTERN OF GLORY AND EXCELLENCE FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW AS AN EXAMPLE OF HONESTY, SPORTSMANSHIP. AND LOVE OF i IFE. GP 233
