Worsham Auditorium at the first of May. It was the most people the choir had ever had attend their concert. Such songs as Mr. Roboto and Rosanna were sung with the help of Chad Browning, fresh- man, on lead guitar.

For the freshman who were entering high school, it meant a fresh and exciting new start. The seniors encountered Senioritis and the adventures involved in spending their last year at Snyder High. And for those in- between, who were sophomores and juniors, it meant just enjoying the time they had and anticipating the year ahead. 2 This One's Special NOT THREE BUT TU , the foreign exchange student from Thailand, received a camera from the student body as a Christmas present. Tu stayed with the William Raborns and presented numerable community programs to local organi- zations.

Lunch gives me a time away from class and studies for an hour. When the bell rings for lunch I know half the day is over. -Senior Angela Ammons 3 f I had a chance to go anywhere in the world, my choice would have to be Utopia. Utopia you say, why that place doesn't exist. That's correct. Utopia is the non-existent place of a pure and good life with- out corruption and disruption. Because nothing ex- ists in a non-existent place, the only place close to Utopia is, of course, heaven. To exist there, your existence in the real world will disappear. And that is my fate, because my Utopia that I want doesn't exist, and the Utopia that is in reach, I am not ready for. -Junior Shane Sullivan 5. do many activities with my friends at church. I enjoy these activities because I can be with my friends and we have fun. I guess the main reason I like these activities is because it's just good, clean fun. -Sophomore Micheal McCravey w y first reaction to High School was: scary! I was excited, in a way, but the thought of how big it was was awful. Also, I didn't like the thought of being a Punky Freshman . -Freshman Amy Wilson V 4 Student Life HIGH-HO-SILVER: Breaking horses is what Sophomore Mon- tie Rawlings does in his spare time.

At the first of the month, the temperature reached a high of 70 degrees several times, so Junior Mike Head and Luke Proctor took advantages of the situation. However two weeks later, eight inches of snow fell causing school to close for one day.

Snyder leveled Lamesa 21-14 in the football game, and the journalism department won the float contest at the parade. One of the workers on this float was Cindy Shaw. After tearing up a float she had put so many hours into making, she said I felt our job was done. We won first place, and tearing down the float was just like cleaning up after any job. The parade and pep rally downtown was a huge success. The whole parade and event was a blast, said Shaw. Through the eyes of a first grader; though, it was a dream maker. Daniel Molina, a first grader, said, I had fun riding with the football players. I wish I could be a real football player. At the football game, halftime was a relief. The Tigers came back from a 14-0 deficit to go in at halftime leading 15-14. Then came the big moment. The an- nouncement of who was to be named Homecoming Queen. When Ramona Murphy was named Queen, she said, At first I felt like jumping up and down, but then I realized that I wouldn't look too graceful in a long dress. Then it hit me, and I was shocked! Becky Pylant, a nominee, said, I wasn't disap- pointed — it was a real honor to be a nominee. The Tigers came out and won the game 21-14. The week was capped off by a dance in the Student Center. Many ex-students were there as well as many SHS students. The underclassmen can look forward to the '84 homecoming, but it's over for the seniors and juniors. They will just have to come back for the '84. Cindy Shaw said, Too bad I won't see another homecoming at SHS.

It brings us to- gether and gives us a feeling that nothing can stand in our way. The hustle and bustle of ordering mums, picking out clothes, and having everything perfect, only adds to the excitement of this bi- annual event. “Tiger Pride Comes Alive was this years Homecoming theme. And our pride did come alive as we defeated the Lamesa Golden Tornadoes, 21-14. Homecoming activities began Thursday, September 30, with the parade and pep rally at the courthouse. The Journalism Department took first prize with their “rain- bow float, Student Council took second place, and the Span- ish Club took third. Nominees for Homecoming queen were: Seniors, Ramona Murphy, escorted by Mark Cy- pert, Kami Burkett, escorted by jerry Comstock, Becky Pylant, escorted by Nolan von Roeder; Juniors: Diana Molina, escorted by, Glen Parham, Sharmon Briggs, escorted by Richard Der- reck and Laurie Donelson, es- corted by Larry Light. Most students think we should have a homecoming every year, but some think that it would be too much trouble and also too expensive. But, so far we've been happy with the tradition of only having homecoming every other year. The preparations and game stand out in our lives as special memories, and give us true meaning to “This One's Special. OFFICIALLY kicking off Home- coming with The Snake were percussionists Debra Cline, Abra- ham Lopez, Jean Anderson, and Sylvester Spells. 8 Homecoming BEING HOMECOMING QUEEN is one of the biggest honors at Snyder High School. Here, Ramona Murphy, the 1982 queen is shown with her escort Mark Cypert. The excitement was intense as all waited for the one name to be announced during halftime. TEACHERS PETS: On the float that they prepared for the homecoming parade are teachers Brenda Otto, Janie Carter, James Littlepage, Ollie Peek and Billie Hartsfield. BEFORE KICK-OFF, the Mighty Fighting Tigers broke through the traditional Tiger Head. One was prepared by the varsity Cheerleaders for every game. WE WERE VICTORIOUS! The final score showed the Tigers defeated the Lamesa Tornadoes,21-14. Homecoming 9 Getting adjusted Stares, whispers greet new students On the first day of school there were stares and whispers. Senior Marybeth Leonard, a new stu- dent who transferred from La- mesa High said, “They stared the first few days and I could hear them say, 'Who is that?' Near the end of the year she also said, “Snyder High has a good pro- gram and the teachers are good also. I like it here better. It re- minds me a little of my home- town in New York State. “Squadron AT-TEN-TION! Troop Commander report. This is one of many military orders Jim Cuesta, senior, became accus- tomed to after being in military school for two years in Roswell, New Mexico. After attending SHS this year, he said, “I feel that Snyder High is a pretty good school but never thought I would graduate from here even though I am. I had fu- turistic plans of graduating from a Military Institute school, but not making a career out of the mili- tary, said Cuesta. “I do not feel I should even be here. Snyder High is not a new school to me, just a school which was not intended for me to come back to. I'm not saying the peo- ple here were bad, but somewhat nice. I did not want to graduate from a public school at all, much less attend one, but I got lucky and did, added Cuesta. Penny Noble, sophomore, transferred here from John Glenn Junior High in San Angelo. “It was fun but a little scary. I had already met some people and that made it better. My friends helped me feel like I had already gone to school here, said No- ble. “It was really a surprising honor, said Noble, about being named sophomore class favorite her first year at SHS.

Having tried all the diets- grapefruit, pills, salads, some even resort to starvation. Nothing will help. All free time was spent in leg warmers, leo- tards and sweatbands dancing to a Miss Piggy arobic record. Some owned two copies of Jane Fon- da's best selling exercise book, but didn't find the time to read them. Sometimes they wanted to give up, and were pressured by televi- sion, magazines, and friends. Di- eters, they treaded a thin line.

The long days weren't fun and games, but the payoffs made all the hard work seem worthwhile. Those involved in a club walked through neighborhoods and businesses selling candy, ads, cookies, honey, magazine subscriptions and Christmas or- naments to meet quotas or dead- lines. Whether it was for the whole school (like the food drive) or just a single club, stu- dents worked together until they got the job done. Distributive Education Club members worked to send 3 dele- gates and one competitor to state; the Future Farmers put on a stock show in the coliseum, jour- nalism students worked for weeks to organize the Corona- tion and Vocational Industrial Club members knocked on one door and then another to sell their honey for Christmas. To these students payday was worth more than just a few cents. 14 Sweatin' It Out B-BE STILL! Senior Richard Cowen got his pig ready for the Future Farmers of Amer- ica Stock Show.

The center was designed to meet all living standards of human beings. (Design by Eddie Davis) Top secret Computer students design Orbital Research Center Top Secret! Six seniors of Snyder High School designed a space station. The HED Cooperation runs an annual competition to in- terest more people in the prob- lems affecting the world today. Two problems scenarios were given at each contest. The two last year were the designing of a space station or a program for runaways. The seniors who participated in the contest were Jean Anderson, Margaret Anderson, Sam Ra- bo rn, Eddie Davis, Kraig Milton, and Raymond Garza. The infor- mation of the contest was given to Sam Raborn form Mike Ko- zelsky, Industrial Arts teacher. Each student worked on differ- ent areas of their “Orbital Re- search Center Alpha. Garza did operations and communications. Also he did maintenance. Raborn worked on environmental con- trol. David and Milton did exter- nal and internal design. Margaret and Jean Anderson worked on health and food. Everyone re- searched and studied on public relations. “It took a lot of team work to get it together. said Garza. “I worked on environmental control. This included thermal control, oxygen regeneration, water regeneration, and waste disposal, said Ra- born. His sources included scientific magazines, library books, and papers pub- lished by NASA. Raborn said that most of the station came from great amounts of research, “It gave lots of satisfaction just knowing that a small group of high school students go together and accomplished something through hard work and team participation while they learned and had fun, added Raborn.

Styling out, punking out, gla- mouring out, and prepping out. Those were the outlets for fashion among High school students. To Shane Sullivan finding in style clothing was fairly easy. I bought things that caught my eyes as differ- ent from the everyday things. There were all sorts of looks advertised, but when it came down to it, I knew what I liked and what to buy , said Shane Sullivan, junior. While many people try to become more and more fashionable, others trash out more and more. Trash-Outers wear the faded jeans, t-shirts and tennis shoes. Trey McWilliams, senior, who does not trash out everyday but does not consider himself fashionable said, I like tacky shiek. Kelly Farquar, junior, who did not go for brand name labels on fashion clothing but rather for a good kool said, I bought what I liked and what I thought looked good. Sometimes I would see something I liked in a magazine and go for a similiar look. Prices are forever a drawback holding back young fashion minded individuals who have dreams of being the next Cheryl Tieggs or Gregory Harrison. Far- quar said, If you looked around in different stores you could usu- ally find sales. I didn't go for the brand name labels, quality is what really counts. Looking nice where ever he goes is the way Mickey Broach, junior, percieves fashion. Chelle Krueger, sophomore, describes style as the art of dress- ing. It is not just dressing up, it's dressing the personality. Ramona Murphy, senior, said, My fashion is what feels and looks good on me but that might not be fashion to most people. Linda Walker, junior, said that fashion clothes are usually twenty to fifty dollars more expensive than everyday jeans and t-shirts. She also feels that the clothing is worth the extra money because it is made with better qulity and it will last longer.

The respect of how clothes look on a person and how they reveal one's per- sonality. Sullivan explained fashion, is the way he expresses himself.

There were library aides, office aides, A V aides, and counselor aides. Each of these had an important part in Snyder High. Library assistants shelve, in- ventory and checkout books. They also made fines out, helped students find books they needed, filed cards, and changed out magazines and newspapers. Sophomore Rhonda Elam said, I liked this class. It was fun. I learned alot about the library, and I liked the librarians. I think this will help me to want to work in a public library some day. Office assistants relay mes- sages and answer attendance calls. Sophomore Tim Leonard said that an office assistant is an easy class in which a student does not have to worry about homework. Since I was a new student in school, it helped me to learn my way around the school. Teacher's assistants checked papers, copied off tests, made film calenders, made new rolls, and sometimes made posters, returned things to teachers, checked rolls for students who had more than 10 absences, and made a list of due payments. Senior Mary Ybarra said, I liked being a teacher's assistant. Sometimes I have homework to do so this gave me time to do it, so I did not have to take it home. I typed up assignments, graded papers and anything else that needed to be done. The audio-visual students made signs, laminated, made copies, repaired films, took film and projectors to rooms and picked them up. Senior Tommy Parks said, I don't know if this will help me in the future or not. I learned to run a lot of machines. You never know when you might need to use one of those machines. ANOTHER MACHINE: Cal Mayfield used DOING HIS JOB: David Bullock, junior, a copy machine in the Audio Visual looked for some information in the room, during second.

(Lair Staff Photo) • 07' Student Helpers 21 In halls, on the stairs, in chairs Hot romances They walked down halls to- gether while others took chances kissing on the stairs. On the oth- er hand some breakup and go with someone else. That's how romances were. Robert Patterson and Ramo- na Murphy were the hottest I think, said Freshman Richard Lack. They acted like they real- ly cared for each other, he ad- ded. Senior Shirley Pinkerton said the hottest romance of the year was Teresa Tate and Sammy Lo- vett because they had been going together for three or four years. She also added that they had their differences but worked them out. Ricky Vaughn said Dewayne Williamson and Misty Merritt were the hottest in the junior class because they were seen together everywhere. Breaking up was common in romances. It seemed like every- thing went alright, until dis- agreement occurred, then break- ing up began. If students really cared for each other they could work the problems out. Whether breaking up or going together, however, there was al- ways a hot romance on the make.

Tripped Going on the road again Finding themselves out of bed at the most unearthly hours of the morning preparing for that memorable thing known as the school trip, were students who chose to be involved in ex- tracurricular activities. Many of the students go to bed early in the attempt of getting up at the required time. Others have stayed up the en- tire night on the hope of catching up on a bit of sleep on the ride. We all had a great time. We got to go snow skiing at Brecken- ridge, which was fantastic. It was a good learning experience, too. I think the whole trip all around was terrific, said Senior Carla Harper, Choir. One of the funniest things that happened on a band trip was when the band was marching at a football game. In one of the rou- tines a rifleman had to make a jump over another rifleman. All of the sudden he jumped and his pants split in mid air. It was so funny. He had to try and hold things together until we fin- ished, said Junior Linda Walk- er, Band. TRIPPING OUT: Senior Susie Lee, Juniors Tracy Fortune, Robin Huntsman, Robin Huntsman, Sabrina Sullivan, and Freshman Karleen Thompson get ready to leave An- drews in a yellow dog.

It was a night to remember, and Becky Pyland makes the vibes linger in her T-shirt. (Lair Staff Photo) FROM MY GENERATION to the latest sounds off It's Hard, The Who has pro- gressed to being considered the most en- joyable rock band of all time. They rocked us through good times and bad, and even though they are not natives of our coun- try, they made American Rock History. (Lair Staff Photo) Rock and Roll plays a part in almost every high school student's life. It expresses the way we live and feel, but mostly it just keeps our minds and souls enter- tained. From the 50's to the 80's we have progressed from El- vis to groups like Cheap Trick and Ted Nugent. The sounds range from Heavy Metal to soft Rock and New Wave mostly stand for the different crowd of stu- dents. Concerts are our favorite form of Rock music today. True rockers live for the smoke filled auditoriums and exploding stages. We love the way they rock to great intensities for us. Jammin' down through the 80s The excitement on a concert day is really like no other and we just can't wait to hit the highway, to go see a rock and roll show! The beat of the drums and the screams of the lead guitar thrives in our minds as the greatest feel- ing of all. We're fascinated by new sounds from old groups, and old sounds from new groups. This is the year of red hot rock and roll, and also the year that we give our last farewell to the great- est pioneers of sound- The Who- we'II never forget what they did for us. Disco is dead but rock is rollin' that's our attitude today. We'll always rock to the best there is and all of us will make sure of that. Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Rush, The Beatles, The Stones, and Jimi Hendrix have all formed the lifestyles we live today. This is a tribute to anyone that understands — Rock and Roll will never die! Rockin' 27 Electro Zapped Arcades tempt student's time, money Video games swept the nation in '83. All the major grocery stores and even the convenience stores had them. The non-players seemed to think that they were not needed. I think that the video games were just dumb, because they were loud and just ate up all of your money, said Sophomore Gwyn Walker. Richard Loper, video gamer, said that the games could be a waste of time and money, but it was better than wasting money on booze or drugs. I would rather see our generation play the games instead of drinking or smoking pot. All three ways were to get high, but students could always walk away from video games, added Loper. Video games were good to test your ability and reflexes on, but they had disadvantages. Several students used their lunch money to play the games. Some even skipped out of school just to go to the arcades. Video games were fun, but they could be habit forming. Stu- dents needed to balance their time and money, said Sopho- more Marvin Morrell.

She was suddenly interrupted by her little sister who wanted Deb- orah to take her to the Kiddy Park. Unwillingly, Deborah took her to the park for a couple of hours. On the way home, the Sonic came into view up ahead. Deb- orah had a vision of fried pick- lo's. She stopped at the Sonic for around twenty minutes. When Deborah and her sister got home, they found their brother watching Knight Rider. Deborah became interested in the program and after Knight Rider came Remington Steele, her favorite show. Deborah put off her homework for later. Fi- nally, around midnight Deborah decided to do her English. Homework evasion was a dreaded disease experienced by all students who could always find something better to do than study. It began as a minor case, such as accidentally forgetting to do your History questions. But it quickly progressed to accidental- ly blowing off all homework. Of course, evasion meant disaster for grades and could have even lead to a extra year in high school. Homework hassles didn't get us all down. Afterall, we were not in school all the time, though sometimes, when we were study- ing for a test till midnight, it felt like it. I think a certain amount of homework is necessary, but some teachers really piled it on too thick, Trisha Johnson, freshman. I put off homework and talk on the the phone or watch televi- sion. This seems to pass the time for awhile. Then at the last min- ute, I do my homework, , Gina Vaughn, sophomore. t_ON(_tN I RATING ON THE FRIG: SOPH- OMORE Josie Ruiz breaks her concentra- tion on homework and lets her mind won- der through cokes and tasty leftovers.

Many schools do not have a Student Center where students can spend their extra time. Most Students are not allowed to smoke either during their lunch hour or their free time. Some schools even have a closed campus. Students at Sny- der High considered themselves lucky, especially when they had the opportunity to use a Student Center, the smoking slab and town restaurants. yawns, 's soooo boring Sophomore Susie Martinez said, Most students thought school was boring because they did the same thing day after day. They could have taken advantage of all the activities offered to get rid of their boredom. The thing I did to make school not so boring was sing my little commercials and act crazy to make people laugh. Another thing I did was act cool. That's my middle name, cool, said Junior Robin Hunts- man. NODDIN OUT: Senior Kirk Herrely gives in to sleep during a third period English class.

Worsham Auditorium. The choir had many tunes to start the night off. Stray Cat Sen- ior Calvin Wimmer said, I was real nervous. I told Mark Lyon we were really going to have to beef up Stray Cats or I was going to be nervous. Some of the choir members had the stage frights, but Senior Ramona Murphy said, J love the pops concert because it is a natural high for me to be on stage singing in front of all those peo- ple. There were some outgoing tunes such as the country hit, Swanging sung by Brad McSpadden with which the audi- ence sung along. Other parts of the audience rocked along to the new version of Rock of Ages sung by Dawn Waller and Kelly Warren. Wimmer said that the concert was a success and that was the largest crowd he had ever seen at a pops concert. I was very pleased with the overall appeal of the concert. The only criticism I have is that it was a little lengthy, said Senior Mark Lyon. Everyone did a wonderful job, and I'll miss doing that. I hope everybody next year does a great job on the concert again. I think all of the seniors in choir will miss it and also miss Mr. Lyon, said Senior Terri Rosas.

There were not as many little trick-or-treaters due to the Tylenol tragedies, but the ones who did go out, young or old went in costume. One could always purchase the usual plastic mask and suit. With the newfangled, inflatable cos- tumes, however, few people wore the plastic. The hairy goril- la-type masks, which made the entire head sweat, was another alternative, although one had to come up with his own body cos- tume. Dracula and Bozo the Clown required white-face make-up with black and red highlights. GOBLINS: Senior Rosemary Rios, Diana Garcia and Junior Mary Ann Ramirez got ready for the tricks-or-treats at Halloween festivities sponsored by the homemaking department. (Lair Staff Photo.) Finding white make-up was diffi- cult as many of the make-up bu- sinesses sold out. If nothing else, one stopped combing his hair, taking a bath and brushing his teeth a week be- fore Halloween, so he could stay home and pass out candy to the little goblins. He might have been the scariest, grossed out thing the kids saw and smelled all night. For wonderfully creative peo- ple, their imaginations were the key. ET, Yoda, fairy princess, or even the wicked witch were all fair game. The main thing was to live the fantasy.

Spring Fever Week, sponsored by the Student Council brought out hidden characteristics in sev- eral students. Flat and T-shirt Day was on Tuesday. Styles varied from the Mr. Joe Cool's wearing New York cut hats, sun shades, and ties hanging around their necks, to the less serious categories in- cluding baseball caps, sun visors, and flat little golf hats. All kinds of T-shirts were also seen. Con- cert goers wore their favorite concert T-shirt while the hot stuff athletes had on their Nike shirts. Senior Richard Derrick was one student who stood out in the crowd that day. Fie wore this hat which looked like something Snoopy would wear while acting as the Red Baron, and topped it off with a pair of square, green shades. Derrick smiled real big and said, I'm bad! The fashion Wednesday con- sisted of poodle skirts and leather jackets. Bobby socks and pony- tails were seen on the gals while the gentlemen appeared as hoods with their hair slicked back with grease and a cigarrette stuck on top of their ears. Con- test winners on Fifties Day were Sophomores Shana Flart and Gabe Becerra. Becerra said that he liked dressing up because it gave him something crazy and different to do. However, he said reveal hidden attributes that he would not have liked be- ing a Fifties kid everyday because he could not stand that junk on his hair. Saint Patrick's Day was Thurs- day, so so it was not surprising that SHS called it Green Day. Stu- dents and teachers were covered in green. Green was the color of shirts, pants and socks. Buttons were worn, that said Kiss Me, I'm Irish or I'm not Irish, Kiss Me Anyway. Mark Cypert, a senior, picked up the nickname Mr. Green Jeans on that day. He was covered from his head all the way down to his toes with green. He wore a green shirt, a pair of green pants, a bandana that was green, and a pair of green tennis shoes. Also, he had a little green four leaf clover stuck on his face. When I de- cided to dress up for these days, I was going to go all out, said Cy- pert. Friday brought out the punks for Punk Rock Day. Like mini skirts were totally in. Students colored their hair from any shade of orange green, and purple. Some painted their fingernails blue, green, or any combination. High heels were worn with out- fits where not one single article of clothing matched. The whole sight could have made a person Gag on a spoon. Contest win- ners were Kelly Farquhar and Terence Dennis.

Keeping with tradition, Alge- bra teacher Ollie Peek made can- dy for the faculty and for all his classes. The Student Council put up and decorated a Christmas tree in the Student Center, and the Seniors won the food drive sponsored by the Student Coun- cil Some business students in Bil- lie Hartsfield's classes skipped lunch for one day and collected a total of $50 to donate to the World Hunger Fund for Christ- mas. Finally came the Christmas holidays when the students got two weeks to catch up on their sleep and calories As is usual for Snyder, the snow did not come till after Christmas, but the New Year was white, and the first day back to school was bright, clear and too soon.

All of the days of planning and construct- ing were torn down in a few measley hours, but boy did those zeros linger on. This year, as every year, it was the task of the junior class to take one big, empty coliseum and in approximatley two months, con- vert it into a fairy tale fantasy. The non-stop work began with a brief meeting between all inter- ested juniors and the lucky devils whose turn it was to be sponsors. At this meeting junior class chair- man Albert Taylor asked for all theme ideas and helped elimi- nate the unrealistic ones. In a close race between “Time Machine and New York, the latter was victorious and specific plans began to surface. A later meeting was called where all ideas were transferred into a scale version of the colise- um. Committees were picked and required to turn in supply lists to persons authorized with charge accounts. These groups were constantly reminded of the tight budget, and it was suggest- ed to, if at all possible, indulge in freebies. Finally, a sort of organization could be seen, and the city of New York was slowly on its way for a four-hour visit to Snyder. Max von Roeder generously donated his barn to the class, and the full-scale buildings, includ- ing the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center, began to take shape. CREATION: Chairman Albert Taylor over- sees the creations of Central Park while decorating for the Junior-Senior Prom. Ju- nior Dewayne Woods tried to straighten the bridge in the park. (Photo by Lawrence McCown) Meanwhile, Sharrylon Vestal's house was used to do the en- trance way stuffing and to build the horse and carriage. Also, the Sardi's committee got busy working on flower arrangements and mirror wall hangings. This work took place mainly in the li- brary and Carol Miller's room. Everything seemed to be going smoothly when the juniors were faced with a week's halt due to Spring Break. After returning, the juniors realized that only two weeks were left to complete the job. Panic accompanied this real- ization and the late night work began. Phil Ragland, coliseum super- intendent, opened his doors to the class on Sunday, March 20. An emptiness in the prom work- ers' stomachs accompanied the vast cold emptiness of the huge building. Visions of Times Square and Central Park could only be seen on paper as the grey floor was gradually taped off. For the next five days those participating in the decorating saw nothing but the coliseum from after school till 10:00 or 10:30 every night. By the time they arrived home and cleaned up for a night's sweet slumber, tiredness overcame them and books were so unappealing that they were used for pillows in- stead of homework. With Friday came the final last minute touches as some students were granted school related ab- sences. They worked up until five hours before prom time. Then, their thoughts switched from worrying if the trees in Central Park were upright to whether corsages and boutonnieres were pinned on the right or left shoul- der: It was prom night. Spreadin' The News 43 New York Seniors a part of it About the time everyone was leaving to go to the prom, Moth- er Nature let loose with a storm of thunder, lightning, rain and hail, that hovered over the area for at least thirty minutes. Trying to avoid the rain, stu- dents ran to the doors of the coli- seum to try to keep from getting soaking wet. Inside, making their way towards the picture line, stu- dents waited for an hour in order to get their pictures made by photographer Harley Bynum. Then they made their way through the low tunnel of love to make their entrance by strolling into Central Park. Some, then made their way to Sardi's Restaurant to munch down and drink some unspiked punch. Students then made a bee line to the dance floor to try to boo- gie down, but the storm kept blowing out the lights or Dar- steller, the Disc Jockey, would have technical problems with his music. Despite the thunderstorm, the prom was a swanky New York ex- perience. Replicas of the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the World Trade Cen- ter, the Brooklyn Bridge, Broad- way (which was a real lighting show), and Times Square were all on display.

(Photo by Mike Luera) 46 | Can't Make Up My Mind I can't make up my mind Decision making constant challenge I can't make up my mind, are six words that entered the minds of many students at Snyder High. Students had to make up their minds on what classes to take, who they would spend their time with and what they were going to do for the weekend. Also, students had to make up their minds for the future. They had to decide if they were going to col - lege, to work, or get married after high school. Students also had to make up their minds about their school grades. Decisions had to be made if they were going to study real hard or just copy from their friends. Hopefully, most students decided to learn something by studying real hard for their grades. Decisions were a part of every student's life because no matter what we did or where we went we had to make up our mind. WHATCHA THINKING ABOUT CHARLIE BROWN?

Most dances were held in the Student Center after a sports event and were sponsored by the Student Council. To get into the act, another dance was held in the Jerry P. Worsham auditorium after a dra- ma practice. The best dance this year was the one before the Sadie Haw- kins dance because the D.J. played some good Rock-n-Roll for a change, Wade Froga, Sophomore I think the second dance was the best because everybody was partying and because the D.J. made a fool of himself by mess- ing the records up, Kenny Gill- ham, Senior.

I also enjoyed the literature we studied and getting to write essays and memorizing Shakespeare. Now, I know that everyone thinks I'm stark raving mad for saying that, but I love reading and writing because I think that's what adds beauty to life and those two classes have helped me discov- er that beauty. -Senior Margaret Anderson me, school is fun, spirit, excitement, friends . . all the activities that make SHS special. Yet, sometimes, I think in all the fun and excitement we lose what school is really for . . learning. Sure, it's great to participate in all the activities, but most of the time, those activities will not assure you of a job. -Junior Teka Eicke ( J think the class you learn the most in is Agricul- ture because you learn math when measuring and keeping your balances on how much money you have spent on animals, land, ect., You learn re- sponsibility in taking care of your things.

The cut-outs were an introduction into their next project which was self-portraits. Moore's ideas came from a college art class. Skillful talent is something that is developed as you go along. You can take the urge to do something and carry it as far as you want, he said. Senior David Gutierrez said, The art class offered a great deal of opportunity be- cause it showed students they did not have to have the talent, just the patience and time. Snapping all kinds of photo projects, Ted Bigham's Photography II classes also had their share of displays this year. Photography students made photo but- tons, studied special effects and color ton- ing, and made poster pictures.

Keys to student life Prove doorways to challenges, goals, success The key to success, the key to a door, the key of a crossword puzzle, or a key to a typewriter, all these things involved solving a problem with some sort of key. Keys were used in every student's life during the school day, but most didn't realize it. Keys were beneficial in un- locking the door to Junior Monica Becer- ra's army green 1947 Chevy, in Senior Becky Lemen typing a term paper, in Sophomore Cory Miller turning the keys in the ignition for the first time in Dri- ver's Ed. There were also imaginary keys affect- ing student's lives. This key is more com- plex in the sense that this type key is the central point or main goal to success or life itself. I consider success to be a well-lived life. To do all I want to do, and share with other people my success, said Sopho- more Sabrina Sullivan. I consider suc- cess to be fulfilling my want of happi- ness. Being truly happy is what I want the most, said Sophomore Dana Parham. My goals are to be a successful, wealthy business woman in my own com- puter corporation. With this wealth, I want to encourage peace, help the needy, and provide for my mother and family, said Sullivan. My goals in life are to get a good education and career that is intellectual and creative, said Parham. DRIVING OFF: Sophomore Cory Miller and Jimmy Fuentez both key it in.

When Maule was asked how he felt the trip to Snyder helped benefit the students he said. I can only hope that it benefited them. Some of the students were asked if Ca- reer Day was beneficial to them. Carla Harper, Senior, said Career Day helped me to get a better perspective on all my possibilities. It also helped me to learn what kind of courses I should take in col- lege to prepare for my future. Jeff Mi- nor, junior, added It would have been more beneficial to me if we would have had more than two classes; most students have a wider range of interests than that. I enjoyed the classes I went to, even though they were lectures. HIVES ALIVE: Mary Eubank and Chester Clark showed a beehive to Rita Carter's biology class.

These tests were the same tests that were given in the elementary schools and used to be given in Snyder junior and high schools. Reasons for cancelling this test were not known to Principal Ray Courtney, yet he did know the reasons for starting it up again. The PE classes have been based on playing one type of game, like basketball or badmitton. We started up these tests again so we could get students into better shape and also see how we compared with other students, said Courtney. He also added that he became aware of the physical shape students were in when he substituted for a PE class. Girls were required to do flex arm hangs, sit-ups, a 12 minute walk, the 50 yard dash, a shuttle run, and a standing broad jump. It was hard work, but it was worth it to get in shape. said Denise Derrick. Coach Patti Grimmett also agreed that this program was beneficial to her students.

The universities which many students dream of set high standards for the individual to reach. Junior Mona Green took Geometry be- cause she said, It is required for the major university I want to attend. John Short counselor said, An advanced class is more difficult; It takes more preparation and more studying from the student involved. Short also said that the advanced classes are more like a col- lege course; it helps them with their study habits and it is more of a challenge. Students main considerations when choosing a college are the educational courses offered. Some students go to a junior college and take all their basic courses and then transfer over to a major university, which helps them in the long run.

Stu- dents here have many classes to choose from. Such classes are Drama, Choir, Band, Business classes, Foreign Lan- guages, and Journalism. Although throughout school many courses such as English, history, science, and math are required, there are always electives that can balance the school re- quirement. Many times elective courses can put into students' minds ideas for jobs or what they want to do in life. It's a lot better than many schools where kids just go to the classes they get, said Senior Cina Pierce. Junior Ann Wright said, I feel that you should get to choose courses be- cause you get the classes you like instead of being in just boring classes.

His work helped the staff meet its February 14 dead- line. Memorizing, Writing Meeting deadlines It seemed that students had new dead lines to meet every day. Teachers who gave assignments appeared not to be aware of the work that the kids may have had in other classes. These extra assignments put students into an imaginary pressure cooker. Often many students decided to blow off cer- tain assignments for the most important one; if this continued for a good while, students' grades dropped a good deal in their classes. Many times students waited till the last minute to finish homework. Seniors had a burden in the form of a term paper. In only a certain amount of time seniors had a large amount of work to do. It seemed that all the teachers gave you work at the same time. One day you didn't have homework, and the next day they really piled the work on you, said Kim Byrom, senior. You had homework everyday just about. The teachers did not seem to real- ize that you had other equally important classes you were devoted to. When each teacher gave you homework, it added up. Teachers also needed to realize that students had important lifes off campus such as jobs, families and relationship, said Dean Cruse, senior.

(Photo by Jay Eiland) Up a step College bound early College bound early, a few SHS stu- dents took advantage of courses offered by Western Texas college for high school credit. Steve Sorrells, a senior at Snyder High School, is one of the many students that was college bound early. “I enjoyed au- tomechanics at WTC very much. It made me feel free to leave the school. The class was offered from 8 am to 11 am. Troy Jones, junior, said, Autome- chanics taught me all of the skills of working on transmissions and engines. Joey Withers, junior, said, The advan- tage of this class was it taught me about my car. Even for those who did not want to become automechanics, it still helped them with their own cars. The disadvan- tage was that there was not enough hours for working sometimes. I was rushed to do certain things, like having to change clothes to go to a school club meeting. All of the students in automechanics encouraged students who would like to learn more about their cars to take the class. Sorrells said, It has taught me how to work on vehicles under shop-like conditions. I've learned about safety in a shop and how to use certain tools prop- erly. He also said that the main advan- tage of this class was having all the tools needed to do the job properly and effec- tively. We usually went out to an actual shop to do the work. Sometimes students didn't understand how to fix or repair certain objects. So we asked the instruc- tor and he showed us. We learned more by actually working on cars, instead of trying to learn the same principles by reading a book, said Withers. Up A Step 67 Nurturing the talent: Self discovery allows specialized skills to blossom Talent is a gift to be developed. Classes were offered to help develop these talents into skills, which may bring people person- al satisfaction thoughout their lives. Many students had talents which they only began to realize after they enrolled in these classes. These classes were pottery, choir, pho- tography, band or drama. Students some- times took these classes to fill up space, and then they found they really enjoyed them. One student, Tracy Davis, won an award for her specialized talent. For having the best portfolio in Ted Bigham's photography class, Davis won a $20 gift certificate to Keaton Kolor for photographic materials. I have learned in pottery class that you have to work the clay (knead) to prevent air bubbles that blow-up the pots and other things that we make. I have also learned to work on the pot- ters wheel and that is alot faster than doing it by hand. Also we have learned to make models of cars, said senior David Gutierrez. Students in these classes used their lungs for play- ing the instruments in band and for touching a high note in the choir. Pot- tery classes used their hands for mold- ing shapes, and drama classes used their bodies to get the point across, and the point was specialized talent.

Seniors glide through the door a second before the bell rings, juniors talk in the halls and find their seats before the bell rings, sophomores are in their seat with eyes in front three minutes before the bell rings, and freshman are still hunting for the right room after the bell rings. Tardies and absences are just part of the job of students. An alarm clock didn't go off, a missed bus, slipping flat into a rain puddle, and of course, the old stand by, I had to use the rest room, are all excuses students give for being late for class or nev- er showing up at all. I was late to class one time because I had to go to my locker and get my books. My locker wouldn't open. When I got my locker opened, all of my books fell out, said Sophomore Sandy Fisk. I had this student one year who left his book in a horse trailer on its way to Oklahoma. He didn't know when he would get his books back or when the horse trailer would come back. That is the most hairbrained excuse I've every heard. said Sarah Came, Freshman English teacher. Convincing a secretary that the student didn't forge an excuse, making sure a mother doesn't forget to call in for an excuse, and hoping a teacher doesn't forget to change an absence to a tardy all contributed to today's excuses becoming tomorrow's headaches.

Those skills such as bookkeeping, accounting, and secretarial are those looked for by many. Often people without these skills have a hard time finding good paying jobs. Bookkeeping and accounting are two areas where a good deal of mathematical knowledge is needed. People who have these skills may be able to get jobs with well known companies and draw good salaries. These skills can also be put to good use in a personal sense, because a member of a family with these skills can help to keep the family in good financial standing. They give you special skills in jobs that can be entered directly from col- lege, said business teacher Pat Byerly. For actual accounting work, as well as any other corner in business, bookkeep- ing is a great help into today's job mar- ket, said bookkeeping teacher Mary Killiam.

There was quite often an experi- ment that a student just didn't see the point of, other times the experiment was so easy that it just didn't seem important. Students tended to be wary of experi- ments that disproved what they had been led to believe. This was where observa- tion was important. Dissection was sometimes the grossest area of scientific studies. When the word dissect came up, there were always a few people who cringed. Worms, frogs, and fetal pigs were cut up this year in biology classes in the interest of learning. When dissected these animals opened up the whole new world of the study of anato- my. It was fun to dissect. The inside looked neat, it's not gross, said Senior David Deice.

Tests were one of the leading causes of student fatigue. These days many students waste a lot of their time, and then they have to stay up late the night before the test and try to learn everything they should have learned in class. This was a real problem because it was quite difficult to concen- trate when tired. Teachers seemed to know that kids were over-tired when taking their tests, because of the low grades by some folks. Freshman Denise Derrick said, I stud- ied every free chance I got. I feel that it was helpful to me. Sophomore Jerry Schulz said, I usual- ly study for a test at the last minute, so I can remember more of what I studied. 'Crammin' information made a better impression on me. Junior Kelly Farquhar said, If it was an English test, I studied the night before, but if it is another test, I waited until that day. Senior Jay Eiland said, I studied about ten minutes before the test. So, many kids have their own study habits. Some study every day; others just wait and cram it all in before the test. CONCENTRATION: Freshman Dianna DelaRosa worked hard on her Op-art posters. The posters demonstrate a third dimension on a flat surface by increasing or decreasing in size a certain shape.

When they called my name out I was so hyper that I called my friends and enemies, you name them, I probably told them. -Senior Randy Martin r, he main thing I get out of being in choir is, all the help, concern, and willingness to teach me all the things I need to know from Mr. Bill Lyon. Mr. Lyon puts all he has into teaching people everything he knows about music and this makes one want to try hard and want to learn and carry on all the re- sponsibility that there is in dealing with music. -Junior Jeana Fox 3, really enjoyed having a Secret Pal and sending all the clues. It was fun for me and also I think the teachers enjoyed it. But also, I enjoy hosting the school dances. They are worth it, even with all the cleaning up to do afterwards. -Sophomore Shana Hart CD rama is the club I enjoy most because we are always doing something special, either for the school or for the Drama Department. The people in it get along great. The plays we are doing are fun and Mr. Worsham is the best teacher I have ever had. -Freshman John Hamlett 78 Organizations WE DID IT: Freshman Dawn Farmer and Junior Teka Eicke enthusiastically congratulate each other after being chosen to the All-Region Choir in Abilene.

(Lair Staff Photo) Organizations -----MAKINGS VICA I IVINIG-- Students in the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America program worked half a day either in the morning or during the afternoon. These students worked as nurses' aides, order- lies, waitresses, pharmacists' as- sistants, repairmen, brick layers, carpet layers, and mechanists. Why did these students choose to work? Some worked to make car payments, pay for gas, or to buy clothes. Some also worked because they felt it would help them with their future careers. Whatever the reason, students in the VICA program felt that their jobs were very important. Becky Elam, senior, who worked at Cogdell Memorial hospital said, I really liked to work at the hospital. It was a good training experience. VICA prepares youth for life. It brings together young men and women who share common in- terests for an exchange of ideas, a discussion of problems and the opportunity to work toward common purposes. VICA offers co-curricular activities that make education and training more meaningful, said Wallace Corn- best, VICA coordinator. Sandy Thamez, junior, who worked at Cogdell Memorial Hospital, said, I learned how to care for others and to be more understanding.

Making A Living 81 LOOKING lOWARn im FT A FHA ----FI ITI1RF- The Future Homemakers of America had a busy year with their many trips. The club consisted of twenty-two members and two advisors. It had a meeting every month where they planned for their next event. In September the club opened their fair booth at the Scurry County Fair. The theme of the booth was Ms. Pac-Man, which placed third. In October they had their Hal- loween party and in November they had just a regular meeting, no special events. In December they planned their Christmas par- ty and in February they attended an area meeting. March was just another regular meeting, but April was a month of excitement. First, the club members picked up their name tags for the Creed Contest, signed up for officer elections, and then a WTC Cosmetologist gave a workshop on hair care and make-up. Next the club had a swimming party at the WTC pool; they had a “Red and White Day , and had a brown bag lun- cheon to elect the officers. The last thing the club did was have a trip to Casa Del Sol, a solar home in Crosbyton. The eighteen members of the Future Teachers of America club have had a busy year. The mem- bers, first worked on their home- coming float and then they at- tended district and state conven- tions. They then honored the teachers on Valentines Day by giving them cookies, and during Christmas they had a party. The last thing they did was have Spring Banquet. GOALS BEGIN WITH DREAMS was the theme of the Euture Teacher's of America banquet held at the Shack in April. Rev. Ken Branam told future teacher prospects that they should strive to be clean, coura- geous, challenging, and concerned. Dur- ing the year, ETA members earned credit or experience by helping teachers as aids, both in high school and grade school.

Looking Toward The Future 83 LOOKING ----TOWARDS------- FFA State THE urn IRK — State or bust, was the motto of the Future Farmers of America this year. The club's advisors Billy Bob McMul- lan and Randy Gillum took nine Snyder students to the state com- petition held at Texas A M Uni- versity, April 30. Five teams competed: the Meat Team, the Dairy Cattle team, the Poultry Team, the Crops Team, and the Wool Team. The Meat Team placed first in area and overall competi- tion; the Dairy Cattle Team placed fourth in the area and fifth overall, the Crop Team placed first in the area and second over- all, and the Wool Team placed fourth in area and overall compe- tition. The members of the five teams were: Nolan Von Roeder, Kurt Dunn, and Tracy Neves, Meat; Doug Scott, Debra Wilson, and Matt Cross, Dairy Cattle; Thad Springer, Terry Steelman, and Tobi Stephens, Poultry; Steph- anie Weaver, Bill Sherrard, and Teresa Leatherwood, Crops; and Jeff Minor, Theresa Ashworth and Brent McFarland, Wool. The Range and Pasture team went to Abilene Christian Uni- versity where they won first place. The team consisted of Ricky Thompson, Nixie Brewster and Jeff Gilbert. Due to a motor- cycle accident suffered by Gil- bert, the team was unable to compete in much of the yearly competition. “IF YOU'VE DONE IT, you can't brag about it, said Future Farmers of America spon- sor Billy Bob McMullan. He was referring to the successful year his and Randy Gil- lum's FFA teams had in meat, poultry, crop, and wool competition. Right, Gillum and McMullan applaud their students for a job well done and for the pickup storage compartments the FFA students presented to both instructors at their annual ban- quet.

What exactly do they do? They are the leaders for their respective class. They show a sense of want- ing to progress in life. This helps for being a class officer; it means being able to get along and work with other people. This is a plus, for it is a way for one to commu- nicate with others and learn to appreciate the other person's point of view. Freshman Secre- tary Class Officer Kima McLarty feels her greatest contribution this year was, to be friendly, and give services for the food drive at Christmas. Taking part in helping their class succeed is what being a class officer is all about. Junior Class Officer Secretary Ollie Carroll feels her greatest contribution was helping with the food drive earlier in the year. Also, I tried to help as much as possible with the prom. Getting involved in school activities is what being a class officer is all about. For the one who has a goal to accom- plish, a successful dream always comes out on top. Being a Student Council repre- sentative involves a natural born breed of students assuming lead- ership and doing something worthwhile to make things hap- pen at SHS. Nolan von Roeder is just an example of this. To gain a office, a representa- tive must be elected by the whole student body. The students who run for nomination are elected for their ability to get things ac- complished and being good leaders. A person can tell when someone is a leader because they take the initiative and run for election. Student Council Vice President Dee Gilbert feels that what bene- fited her the most out of being a member of the Student Council was, You get to know more kids in school, and you get to help make improvements within the school. Also, it is fun, so I en- courage everyone to join. Student Council officers were elected in May for the '83-84 year. They were Teka Eickie, president; Sharmon Briggs, vice president; and Shana Hart, secre- tary.

Every stu- dent in drama tried to develop their special talent and used what they had to their best ability. The freshmen put on a play of their own. With a little help from a few upper classmen, the play Your a Good Man Charlie Brown became a success. But why was Charlie Brown a freshman pro- duction? Director Jerry Worsham said, I had to work twice as hard, but these freshmen have so much talent I had to give them a chance. There were about 45 people who participated in the produc- tion, 38 cast members and 7 crew members. This same number participated in another production, The Matchmaker. The Matchmaker consisted mainly of the upper- classmen. First year drama stu- dent Wendy Hodge said that to have a successful performance DIRECTOR'S DIRECTIONS: |erry Wor- sham gave a (ew pointers to Ramona Mur- phy while rehearsing for the Matchmaker. (Photo by Lawrence McCown). the cast and crew had to put their minds and hearts into the play and form one cast. After the cast was formed The Matchmaker became the hit of the town, she added. Mr. Worsham said that each cast and crew, from the two plays, had to meet together for six weeks. This put alot of hard work on the students who were working on homework, essays, and term papers. Freshman Shan- non Lunsford said, We usually didn't start practice until 6:30 or 7:00 p.m., so we had a little time after school. Some of us would bring it with us to practice and help each other with it. Junior Ollie Carroll said, Being on the crew cramped my time of sleep sometimes, but I could handle it. If it was too much, I wouldn't do it and if I didn't like it I wouldn't do it either. I did my homework after school or either during re- hearsals when I was not very busy. Just like any other activity in school, being in drama meant being just one of the many peo- ple involved.

State UNCORk the ULTIMATE Cn Tct Do lovers stay together for- ever? In the play Ondine the concept of love was explored. In Jerry Worsham's state, second runner up play On- dine, Senior Ramona Murphy, who played Ondine, and Mark Lyon, who played Hans, pre- pared themselves for the play by telling each other they loved each other in the halls. Ramona said, “I've always loved Mark because we have been close friends, but saying 'I Love You' before the performances and re- hearsals helped us break barriers which we sort of had problems with before. Mark said, “It's hard for me to look Ramona in the eye and say 'I Love You', but for Hans to look Ondine in the eye is entirely different. As for my feelings for Ramona are con- senior Mark Lyon, squeezed Sophomore Dana Parham's hand hard enough to kill a bird in the state, second runner up play Ondine. cerned, I feel the same for her as she does for me. But when the curtain goes up, Mark must be- come Hans as does Ramona be- come Ondine. Another cast member who had to deal with emotions was Calvin Wimmer, who played The Old One. Calvin said that his emo- tions carried him away a bit when he was in the final scene of the district contest and Hans had just died. “I guess I got so involved with my role that I really had put myself in the situation on stage. The next thing I knew I was cry- ing on stage. It was really a great feeling to get so wrapped in my character. In Austin Snyder High came home with second runner up.

The yearly pops concert was given May 9 in the Jerry P. Worsham auditorium. This year's choir was very young and our goal was to ele- vate the quality and maturity of performance to as high a level as possible, said Bill Lyon, direc- tor. He expressed gratitude in the achievement of individuals and the overall groups. In addi- tion, the swingers, a pop music group sang for the Musical Co- terie Club and all the elementary schools. While on tour, the choir com- peted at Colorado Springs March 3-7.

Music Makers 93 IN Tl INh AND Band__ __ __ _________ ON THE RIGHT NOTE_____ Sitting in Abilene stadium huddling up because it was so cold, band members tensely waited to hear the march- ing ratings. Finally, out in the air, everyone heard The last band in class 4-A, Snyder High School, a hesitation, and then, I . Everyone went crazy. There was screaming, yelling and some peo- ple were crying. The Pride of the West Marching Band had reached its twenty-ninth consecutive I rat- ing at marching contest. Other activities during the year included All-Region Band, All-Re- gion Orchestra, All-Area Band, UIL Concert and Sight Reading, Solo Ensemble and the Color- guard competition. The band also held two traditional concerts. Another activity was the band banquet. It was hosted by the Band Boosters. The theme was South of the Border. Mexican food was served and a film was shown by Master of Ceremonies Gerald Gar- ner. Everyone watched a film and listened to some of the band mem- bers sing, The 12 days of band camp. The flags and rifles were a minia- ture show during half time of the football games. The flags and rifles put in hours and hours during the summer and after school besides the regular fifty-five minute class each day. The winter guard, composed of six flagmen and six riflemen com- peted in Big Spring. Snyder placed fifth at this competition. As the year came to an end the bands went to contest again. The symphonic band, directed by Sam Robertson, received a II in concert and a I in sightreading. The con- cert band, directed by Clifford Franklin walked away with a sweepstakes trophy. This is the first sweepstakes the concert band has received in the eight years Franklin has been with SHS. De- spite bad weather and because of hard practices the band won sweepstakes, said Freshman Te- resa Beuerlein. SWEEPSTAKES!

In Tune And On The Right Note 95 50UNHHE French T)U Buenos Dias or Bonjour (meaning first, good day in Spanish or hello in French). These words and many others were taught to students by Dr. Albert Taylor, Spanish instructor, and Ed McAnally, French instruc- tor. All members of both clubs had to be taking either French or Spanish courses to be members. Due to the requirement of Uni- versity and college systems to have 1984 incoming freshman study at least two years of a for- eign language at a high school level, the rate of student enroll- ment into a foreign language course rose by the end of this year. McAnally said that there had been an overall increase of 15 percent from '82-'83 to '83-'84 in French. Taylor's enrollment doubled. During the year the French Club had a picnic and a Christmas party. Over Easter break five club members, Guy Staton, Geoffrey Chamblee, Susan Brim, Mary Ybarra, Penny Wolfe, and the McAnally's traveled to New Or- leans to see the French influence. We left for New Orleans dur- Spanish I ing the worst dust-wind storm of the year, passed through a rain storm before we reached Fort Worth, and went by a small forest fire in western Lousiana. When we reached the hotel, we planned to stay in, the electricity and phones were out. Apparent- ly, the fire had burned down some lines. Everyone was walk- ing around with candles or in the restaurant eating to candlelight. So we had to continue to Alex- ander. All that happened on the first day, said McAnally. We were really impressed by the New Orleans Battle of 1814 Park where we picniced under a huge oak and watched ships on the river. One evening after eat- ing at Arnauds, we walked down Bourbon Street and watched lit- tle boys tap dance to the jazz mu- sic that filled the night air, said Senior Penny Wolfe. In order to raise money for their 1984 trip to Saltillo, Mexi- co, Spanish club members were involved in bake sales, garage sales, candy sales, stuffed animal sales, and the homecoming pa- rade.

Nolan Von Roeder, president, served as Master of Ceremonies and Ray Courtney, principal ex- plained the significance of the organization. Guest speaker for the ceremonies was Dr. Don Newbury, president of Western Texas College. The qualifications of the soci- ety were explained by four of its senior members. Casey Peterson dealt with character, Jean Ander- son, scholarship; Rosario Pera- lez, leadership; and Calvin Wim- mer, service. These qualifica- tions, selections from the faculty, and a maintained grade average of 90 or above are the require- ments for acceptance. James Caldwell, vice-presi- dent, and Margaret Anderson, secretary, lead the ceremonies. Curtis Gafford performed the in- duction and Mary Ybarra pro- vided processional music. The NHS also provided home- coming refreshments for all ex- Snyder High School students in the library after the homecoming game. Another group of students who are also character conscious are the members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. These students got together to see the film Weekend of the Champions, they attended the Texas Tech-SMU football game, Texas Tech-Houston Basketball game, the Sweetwater FCA Ban- quet, and participated in the Lions Club Walk-A-Thon, Diabe- tes Association Bike Hike, and had a bowling party. The club's goal for this year was to have good fellowship and encourage fun Christian involve- ment and enjoyment in athletics. In the Lions Club Walk-A-Thon FCA raised money for people that are not as fortunate as oth- ers. During the walk-a-thon, they had a resting place with juice, gatorade, water, and don- uts for refreshments. I almost crawled to get to that resting place, said Junior Patri- cia Gregory.

A satisfied grin accompanied her discovery. Trying to get the copy to fit was just one problem that faced yearbook and journalism students throughout the year. Besides the copy, pictures were also important. Senior Mike Luera who was in photo-journal- ism said, I took journalism mainly because of my love for photography. Also, because I think the most important part of the yearbook or story, is the pic- tures. There were 47 people in yearbook this year. Editors were Kathy Norris and Kathy Stout. As- sistant editor was Becky Hernan- dez. Sports editors were Becky Harrell and Becky Pylant. The yearbook classes did more than work on the yearbook; they also put on the SHS coronation. At the Interscholastic League Press Conference in Austin, last year's book received an Award of Achievement. Nancy Paterson, a 2-4A judge, said, I'm betting on the 1983 Tiger's Lair to go sol- id gold. Receiving individual awards were Pat Martinez, sec- ond place, feature photo; Candy Turnbo, first place, sports photo; Tommy Regalado, first and sec- ond place student art; and the staff won second place for graph- ics. Co-editors for the school newspaper were Wendy Hodge and Tonya Neblett. Sports editors were Trey McWilliams and Don Johnson; Feature editor was Me- lissa Garcia; Cartoonist was Cindy Shaw; Photo editor was Lawrence McCown and assistant Photo edi- tor was Vickie Lopez. Lopez was also named outstanding photo- journalist for '83. The Tiger's Tale earned an All- Texas rating with Distinguished Merit in the Texas High School Press Association Convention. Terry Linsley got first in interpre- tive writing. Jay Eiland got sec- ond place with sports photo. Cream of the Crop awards went to Wendy Hodge for sports writ- ing. Mindy Aldridge for special- ized writing and Chip May for feature writing. In district competition for UIL writing Wendy Hodge was first in headline writing; Tonya Neblett third in editorial and headline writing and Becky Hernandez, fifth in news writing and sixth in feature writing.

From not enough to bringing the house down, from the fans to the players, to the cheerleaders, and back to the fans, there was spirit. I think that school spirit was one of the most important things needed in school, said Junior Varsity cheerleader Rachel Ro- mero. Varsity cheerleader Kami Burkett felt that the school spirit could have been improved al- though this year was alot better than it has been. Despite the 1-9 football sea- son, all the cheerleaders were there going strong, backing the Tigers all the way. The reason I wanted to become a cheerleader was so that I could show my pride for the Snyder High school sports, said Freshman cheer- leader Denise Derrick. She ad- ded that her favorite experience was homecoming night when we got to cheer with the varsity cheerleaders because we seldom got to show our spirit and pride to the varsity players. And showed their spirit they did. The Tigers won 14-7. Their only win this season. Sophomore Rachel Romero, JV cheerleader said she became a cheerleader because I thought it was an honor to represent my school. After some confusion, the cheerleaders were able to travel to out-of-town games. I liked to get to go to the out-of-town games, and I liked to try to help build the school spirit and back up the athletes, said Senior Kami Burkett, varsity cheer- leader. Both spirit and pride were well presented by the cheer- leaders at the games as well as at school, toward the players and fans, said devoted sports fan and Freshman Emilia Maetas. 9 DOWN EASY: Junior Diana Molina, head cheerleader first semester, went down for the splits during halftime of a varsity bas- ketball game.

The clubs either raised money for trips, charitable foundations and some raised money by promoting spirit. The Spanish Club members sold stuffed animals for their trip to Mexico scheduled in 1984. The Future Homemakers of America raised money for the March of Dimes. The total amount was $300. Freshman Cathy Craig collected the most with $72. To promote spirit, the Dra- ma Department sold Tiger- grams and the Yearbook stu- dents sold football ribbons. Vica sold honey for money in order to go to Six Flags in April. The Choir sold cookies, can- dles and even themselves in a slave sale for its trip to Colora- do Springs. “I was really im- pressed with the hotel and the service to group,” said Teka Eicke, junior. Band members sold records and magazines. They sold them because the money was needed for next year's band trips. The Student Council sold T- shirts for the fall of next year. The Tiger shirts sold for $16. Student Council's funds are raised for student dances, the student Christmas and Thanks- giving lunches and other all- school events.

My first catch in a real game, that was very exciting too. -Senior Trey McWilliams of HS sports and players are very special to me because sports is what makes up the school spirit. The most important thing isn't sports or players though, the most important thing is the fans or should I say spirit awakers. -Junior Tricia Gregory 3, like to play basketball because it is a fun and competitive sport. Playing a sport is a very good way to get to know people better. Good relationships with team members make a hard workout not seem so hard and long. -Sophomore Janetta Pylant 3 enjoy tennis because it helps to get things off my mind.

JV baseball Coach Ricky Howell said one great moment for the JV baseball team was when they beat Lub- bock Monterrey 11-8. This was an unexpected win. Britt Vincent, varsity football player said a moment he will re- member is when he caught the touchdown pass at Andrews. It was the only touchdown made by the Tigers. LeeAnn Pierce, sophomore basketball player, said she will al- ways remember when the girls basketball team ran cross country through the park so fast that it shocked Coach Housden. 118 Great Moments SENIOR SUPPORT: Senior Brent Roemisch and Johnny Overton congradulate Barry Davis on his grand slam.

Each individual on the team must devote himself to each lift on the weight machine, each swing of the bat or club, and each sprint made on the field whether it be football or track. Dedication is something I consider very, very important to ONE STROKE AFTER THE OTHER: Barry Davis batters the ball on each swing during workouts. The boys practice each day on the practice field and in the boys gym. (Photo by Lawrence McCown). me. To me it is being loyal. For example doing what is expected of me and then a little more shows the coaches that I'm tough and that I want to play, but also if I'm not doing my responsibility out there on the field, I expect to be taken out. The most important thing about dedication is being an example and a leader. To me I couldn't be on a better team than SHS. The way I stay dedicated to my team is to work hard for my own goals and the team goals, and also by being competitive to my own team besides just other teams, said Junior Chris Doles. The coaches believe in dedica- tion and they expect the most out of their players. Coach David Creswell said, Optimism! I want athletes to think, work for, and expect only the best in sea- son or out. Optimism and dedi- cation work hand in hand. You can't have one without the oth- er. Dedication is very important in all teams, but the strange thing about dedication is that if one person gets out of line, it shows very clearly on the field, court, course, and the team.

Playing sports in pain. 'I hate standing on the sidelines wishing I could help' I hate standing on the side- line, just wishing that I could go out there and help, said Chris Doles, varsity football player. Doles was injured during a prac- tice session. While blocking an- other player, Doles stood straight up, and all of the sudden, the other player, Abey Munoz, came down on Doles' knee. His knee was knocked out of proportion as a result of the accident. Varsity volleyballer Becky Har- rell, played in all the games this year, but she had to endure much suffering and pain. I like play- ing the sport so well that I thought it was worth the pain. I just had to put it out of my mind. Harrell's knee was injured once while she was barrel racing, and once again while she was jumping up and down during a volleyball game. Her knee just gave in, and she, luckily, was al- ready finished playing. When it comes to injury, all coaches think about the same. Head football coach George Byerly said that he hates to lose a player to injury. The better a player is, usually means that more changes will have to be made in order to adapt to the sit- uation, he said. No one wants to lose a play- er, starter or non-starter to in- jury, or to anything for that mat- ter. When it does happen, it is quite unfortunate, not only for me, but also for the team and the individual. I think a lot depends on how the person and I feel about the extent of the injury, said Coach Leslie O'Pry.

Varsity, J.V., and the Freshman cheerleaders showed their sparks at pep-ralleys and games, and by decorating the gym with signs and streamers. Football, Basketball, Volley- ball, Baseball, Track, Tennis, and Golf members all showed their support by supporting each team during its own season. THINKING IT OVER: 24 Joe Boudraeu games People don't realize how im- portant the fans are. They have a great influence on each team on whether they win or lose. This was proven at the Varsity Volley- ball game at Lamesa, when there were more Snyder fans than La- mesa fans. The Tiger fans really brought the house down. Senior Sabrina Robinson, said, If it hadn't have been for the fans cheering us on when we were down, we wouldn't have been able to pull it out.

Even though the Tigers didn't win district as usual, three special events highlighted the short season. Winning the Amarillo Tourney started off a winning season. Senior Becky Har- rell said, Beating the Amarillo Sandes meant a lot to the whole team. They were classified as one of the best teams in Texas. Another thriller was at Lamesa when the Tigers beat them on their home court. The Tigers played a good, hard game which led them to their victory. but the Snyder crowd played a tremen- dous role in it. We couldn't have done it without all the support from the Snyder fans, said setter, Debra Quintela. Also another important match was beating Pe- cos here after they upsettingly beat the Tigers on their home court. The season didn't end as expected, but the 1982 volleyball team was satisfied with their accomplishments of a winning season 21 wins and 6 losses. We were disappointed that we didn't win district, but the overall season turned out as good as we could have ex- pected, said Senior, Becky Pylant. VOLLEYBALL TEAM: (Front Row) Mgr.

There is a lot to look forward to for these girls, and one of them is to carry on another great record like this year. The frosh ended the season with a 12-5 win-lose record. Overwhelming could be the word that makes up the JV Vol- leyball team. It took a lot from the Tiger tough players to adjust to a new coach and playing situa- tions. Setter Penny Noble, stepped in from San Angelo and freshman Karleen Thompson showed the veterans what Tiger frosh can do. The JV finished their successful year with a 13-7 win-lose situation.

Statiscally, the Tigers had a losing season. Peterson added, however, To me the record was secondary. The reason we played was to test our character and forti- tude. I think we proved ourselves quite well. The entire team never lost heart. Vera Lopez, one of the most dedicated fans, said, Even though the guys lost, I think they played their best, and I don't regret watching the game, even when it was cold. Learning from mistakes is the best teacher. When a team loses nine games it makes a few mistakes. Peterson said, To paraphrase Tennyson's famous quo- tation, Tis better to have played and lost than to never have played at all; if a person can survive athletics and its disap- pointments, he can survive the disap- pointments of life. And there was disappointments. Los- ing to Sweetwater was disappointing but the losses and defeats were not the most disappointing things. Senior team mem- ber Mike Luera said, We all became like a family out there. After the Sweetwater game, it was really sad be- cause we knew it was over. Peterson said, The last two minutes of the game, I realized I would never play another game of organized football; it hit me pretty hard. When you've been doing it eight years, it's all over. In two or three years, not many people will remember the 82-83 Snyder Tiger football record, but the players and coaches will remember their new under- standing of the words team and charac- ter. These football players learned a lot from the winning 1-9 season.

IV Future talent 133 Sophs carry team 'Girls play with spirit when chips are down' The Snyder Tiger Felines ex- perienced a trying season win- ning only one game of 21 played. But the team did considerably better than appears at first glance when it is taken into account that they had only the returning let- termen, Tonya Mitchell, senior, and Carmen Rios, junior. The team was made up of 2 seniors, 2 juniors, and the rest sophomores. “During the sea- son, several underclassmen de- veloped into good players and were showing promise for com- ing seasons. All in all our school can be proud of the fine way in which our basketball team played on with spirit when all of the chips were against them. “How much experience was gained is the important thing, said sophomore player Leeann Pierce. The top scorer of the varsity girls basketball team was Carrie Housden with 205 points. Wendy Lunsford was next with a total of 90 points. “It was a learning sea- son, but next year promises to be better, said Becky Gray, sopho- more. “With the experience we gained this year, next year, we should be able to handle pressure games, said Sophomore Wendy Lunsford.

As a whole, each player gained invaluable experience as far as advancement into JV or Varsity ball playing, said Coach )an Kruse. ''Many of our oppo- nents were sophomores and ju- niors and beating them, especial- ly district foes, will be advanta- geous next year, she added. The girls finished up their sea- son with 18 wins and only 3 losses to Hermeleigh JV, Odessa JV, and the Andrews freshman. Karlene Thompson was high scorer with 398 points. Donna Anderson was next with 241. I feel that this team of young ladies should be championship con- tenders in the next few years if they actually want to be Number 1, said Coach Kruse. Actually, there was not a most valuable player. We could not have won 18 ball games had we not had 9 players.

The team cap- tured third overall. Champs! Talbott, Franklin linkster medalists They did it again! Another suc- cessful season in girl's golf. The girls started the season receiving fifth place in the Piainview meet but that didn't stop the Tiger swingers from district. Goals were very important in the girl's golf season. And it was exciting to see those goals being accomplished. Senior Stacy Tal- bott finished second in district play. She said, I wanted to be second medalist, and I wanted to shoot in the 80's. Stacy said that it was very important, and she was happy to see herself accom- plish both of these goals. The three district medalists come from our school; Lisa Franklin first, Stacy Talbott sec- ond, and Laurie Donelson fourth leaving third to Karen Hodge of Sweetwater. Coach Jan Cruse said, The golf season was fun and exciting. We didn't reach our goal of re- turning to the state meet, but we played so much better and did improve. Our golf team is impor- tant. We all get along well, but like all families, we have our share of arguments, being a part of a team is so vital. Next year we will probably be strong again.

Junior Todd Turner said, In that tourney we didn't play up to our standards. Turner said that to have a good golf team, its mem- bers must put in long hours and hard practicing. They must have put in some long hours because in their next tourney, at Sweetwater, the team earned third. Coach Greene expected to see a great season and believed in the guys. I expected the team to have a good chance at second place in district, said Greene. The team is very important, and it is also important that a team plays like a team. Todd Turner said that he wanted the team to try and work on their game. If they would, they would have played great. He also added that the team could have had support from the students in SHS.

With a blaring police escort an- nouncing them, two Snyder High School vans glided slowly into the square. The doors opened to reveal Coach Albert Lewis' stunned look, gold medals, and the state 2-4A baseball trophy. The state champs had indeed come home. Coach Lewis, who has been an eye-witness to each of Snyder's six trips to the state baseball tour- nament during his 22 years as an assistant and head baseball coach, said, I know of no group of boys more deserving than this bunch. After winning seven district championships in a row and ad- vancing to state twice in a four- year span, Lewis said state exper- ience was one thing the Tigers had over New Braunfels in the semi-finals. The Tiger's ace pitcher Gerald Don Hicks went the distance for his fifteenth win by scattering 17 hits with the Tigers literally steal- ing the game from the Unicorns 4-3. Charles Bollinger, Johnny Overton and Brent Roemisch were all two for three at the plate. In the finals, Snyder crushed the 1979 state champion DeSoto 13-4. Sophomore sensation Charles Bollinger gave up six hits and only one walk in the contest. He struck out six batters. Casey Peterson, co-team cap- tain, led Snyder bats with a two for three performance which in- cluded three runs and two RBI's. Brent Roemisch, co-team cap- tain, Berry Davis and Bollinger also accounted for two RBI's. Britt Vincent, William Cotton, Johnny Overton and Curtis Gaf- ford got the others. It's alot of fun to win state. It's been a long time coming, but it sure feels good getting it, said Coach Lewis.

After look- ing you over, they continue throwing their paper airplanes across the room. You plop down in the desk chair and ask yourself, “What have I gotten myself into? Of course, this is a little over-dramatized, but what do the teachers really go through on their first day of school? “My first day of teaching was hectic. One young man, Buster Brown, decided to initiate me into the teaching field by heckling me. Since I had him in two dif- ferent classes, I learned his name quickly and called his bluff in the second class by asking him to stay after class and get ac- quainted with the “Board of Education. He was totally surprised that I would use the board on the first day of school, but I soon convinced him that I was going to. After using the board on him, I acquired the name of “Paddling Peek from across the creek, said Ollie Peek, math teach- er. “On my first day as a teacher, I encoun- tered a class of eighth graders, three fourths of which already had police re- cords. When I called roll, the entire class sat there grinning and made no replies to any of the names. Since I knew that I had the right roll and that the names were not unusual or hard to pronounce, I decided to assign names to the students. The first student on the first row was male, but he was assigned the first name on the roll, which happened to be a fe- male's name. After I had called Davy, “Marsha, and Marsha, Leroy for about half of class, the students decided that they wanted me to know their correct names. The other four classes were rela- tively calm with only minor “skirmishes, said Wynola Early, math teacher.

Wild ANd Woolly 173 Only five feet tall, a teacher with spunk, yet Fragile and ferocious “She understands teenagers and their ways. She has a special method of ex- plaining English and getting the students to understand, said Lynn Robinson, student teacher for sophomore English teacher Margaret Watkins. Anyone who has had the pleasure of knowing Watkins, realizes what an ex- perience it can be. The almost five feet, one inch tall lady, has a special air about her that is irresistible. Her teaching abili- ty is outstanding, which in turn, has in- spired many people. “I learned many techniques that I am sure to use when I become a teacher. I only hope that I can achieve the teaching ability she ob- tained, said Robinson. Learning is Watkin's top priority. She makes people want to learn from her by motivating her classes. “Any student who wants to learn brings me the most joy, said Watkins, but my inability to inspire the love of learning in my stu- dents is my greatest frustration. Margaret Watkins. What else can you say? Any person who loves to help peo- ple learn as much as she, has got to be very unique. This school had a tremendous loss when Watkins retired this year after 19 years of teaching. But she left behind an impression on her students which will live forever.

This is just one of the many sayings contributed by Courtney to liven up the announcements. Every employee of the school had a specific job to do and helped out more than most students realize. What would it have been like if the school did not have janitor Raymond Robinson to keep the building locked, opened, cool and warm? Students would have had mass rumblings if cafeteria worker Catherine Allbritton were not around to make sure they were fed. Just think how many people would have caffine attacks if the student body did not have the Student Council to fill up the coke machines. Each person con- tributed to the school in their own way. Being a secretary benefited students, teachers and the principal. Secretaries did many jobs that assisted in the smooth operation of the school, and their atti- tudes helped set the mood of cheerful- ness and helpfulness which was needed where so many students and teachers came together each day. But without the teachers and students, secretaries would not be needed, so we were all important to each other, said Secretary Betty Mu- sick. I feel that my job has contributed a great deal to Snyder High School. I worked for R.F. Ball Construction Com- pany out of Houston, Texas during the construction of the high school. I helped put seats in the auditorium, caulked the baseboards, and worked be- fore there was any heat in the building. As construction was completed, I contin- ued working at the high school for SHS. I attended Maintenance School at night where I learned to take pride in my work and to have self-respect and a feel- ing of importance in my job. I have worked 30 years for the school system plus the two years for the construction company without an absence due to ill- ness. I saw the first graduation held in the auditorium in May of 1953. I feel I am a part of Snyder High School and contri- bute to the welfare, well being, and health of the students, faculty and the visiting public, said Custodian Rose Walker. I contribute to SHS by counseling students with any problem, by assisting new students in adjusting to SHS, by evaluating SHS and students through the testing program and graduation survey, by registering and scheduling students and by assisting students in preparing for college, vocational school and careers, said Counselor Janet Wesson. BREAKER, BREAKER blared out over the loud speaker as Principal Ray Courtney made the early morning announcements. Automatically, 900 or at least 400 pairs of ears woke up and listened to how the track team placed over the weekend or about the Texas Tech orchestra which was going to be in the auditorium during advisory.

Someone gave your locker a Brute bath! Whether it was rigging lockers, flattening tires, or getting jabbed in the back by bony fingers, pranks were the lighter side of school. Around here pranks were everyday life for some people, but for others they only meant a big mess. For example, Jerry Worsham, speech and drama teacher, got the life scared out of him. On a foggy day Worsham went out to his car and was trying to start it when two sinister figures came across the parking lot with black caps over their faces and big black over- coats on. Each said, It won't crank; it won't crank, while threaten- ing menancingly with huge baseball bats. Of course, it was just Seniors Calvin Wimmer and Glen Parham getting him back for a prank he played on them. Sometimes pranks can be scary or a big laugh; it really depends which side of the prank you are on. For some students (those who play the prank), the joke was a real bang up; but for the person who the prank is being played on, it could have been scary and aggraviting.

One such program was held November 9 and was en- titled Energy Adven- ture. What could have been a boring lecture turned out to be an inter- esting program judging from the audiences' reac- tion. Energy Adventure was sponsored by Amoco Foundation. Presenting the program was Carolyn Bacon and her robot Reg- gie, a gas pump. Bacon worked at the World's Fair and enjoyed her cur- rent job. It's fun most of the time. This school had one of the most in- teresting groups I've been involved with, said Bacon. The program included several senior students in demonstrations. Use of energy and power were displayed by Sabrina Robinson and Brent Beck. Sam Raborn tried to supply Margaret Anderson's demand for oil. Also Mark Cypert became a hard-hatter be- fore he drilled for oil. After two attempts that were bone dry, he fi- nally struck oil. 182 Advisory LEARNING ABOUT ENERGY: Senior Sam Raborn used his sup- ply to meet Senior Margaret An- derson's demand for energy during the November assembly.

During this time, students occu- pied themselves with romance, fights, and Shooting the bull. Fights between boy- friends and girlfriends, or between enemies occured rarely be- tween classes. Catching up on the latest action interested the majority of stu- dents between classes. Senior Kirk Herrley said that he did not gossip ; instead, he shoots the bull. An- other senior, Sabrina Robinson said that she sometimes heard the same story two or three times with a few changes in the short five minutes. We talked about what people did over the weekend, who was with who, and if there were any parties or dances coming, said Robinson. Junior Mona Green said that she enjoyed visiting and talking with friends. This year, I really didn't have time to talk. I usually just said hi or bye. By the time I opened my locker and got to class, the five munutes was dimished, added Green. Patrick Malone, freshman, claimed that if there was any gossip, he heard it. Usually, the things I heard were quite boring bits of in- formation such as who got drunk last week- end or who was dating who, he said. Seemingly short, the five minutes between classes was action packed with several different ideas of lei- sure. While some were fighting, others were romancing, and still others caught up on the latest gossip; but everyone got to class in or shortly after the three-hundred sec- onds which came to an end by the ring of a bell.

They were girls or guys who had the same name, took the same classes and were always together. For a fun time, they ei- ther went riding around or went to see their other friends. They did favors for each other. Whether they loaned money to their best friends, helped them with their homework, or went riding around, twinkies were always there for each other. For example, Freddie Sanchez let Freddie Cas- tillo put his books in his locker. Freddie also re- checked Castillo's library books and kept his ear phone radio in his locker. Sophomore Nancy Hernandez gave Nancy Thamez money when she needed it. She also helped Thamez with her homework. Common names were very beneficial. Especial- ly when phone calls got in the picture.

The teacher, counselor, par- ents or student himself may refer him or her for testing. To do so a lengthy referral form must be completed, and then approved by the principal. The parents are noti- fied and if they consent to testing, the nurse is asked to examine the student's hearing and vision. This is done to make sure the problem is not physical. The referral form and nurse's evaluation are sent to the Education Diagnostician, who ad- ministers a series of tests. These tests deter- mine perceptual and in- tellectual ability. If a student scores more than two years below grade level in an area, he or she is eligible for resource help in that area. An ARD (Admission, Review and Dismissal) committee consisting of the principal, diagnosti- cian, resource teacher, parents and often the student meet to decide the best possible pro- gram for the student. An individual Education Plan is used to make les- son plans in accordance with state requirements. Only after all proce- dures are followed is one eligible for help in the resource class. Each student works at his or her own pace and improvement, for each student's grade is based on his understanding and effort in class. Some students may show more improvement than others in some areas, but less in an- other. I would like to be able to build self confi- dence in all my stu- dents. Many of the stu- dents I see have failed many times. They have developed the attitude of '1 can't, ' said Doro- thy Lavender, resource teacher. Janice Carter, re- source teacher, said, My goal for each stu- dent is that he or she de- velops confidence and self esteem. 188 Resource Mona Green, 11 Darren Greenway, 11 Phillip Greer, 10 Tricia Gregory, 11 Brian Gruben, 9 Joey Gulseth, 9 Richard Guerrero, 9 Keith Gustafson, 10 Angelo Gutierrez, 9 Eddie Gutierrez, 9 Esmeralda Gutierrez, 11 Marty Gutierrez, 11 Toni Gutierrez, 10 Vicky Gutierrez, 9 Edyth Guynes, 11 Abel Guzman, 10 Martin Guzman, 9 Denise Hamilton, 10 John Hamlett, 9 Susan Hamlett, 11 INDIVIDUALIZING: Sopho- mores Tonie Gutierrez, Tim Garcia, John Ramirez and Re- source teacher Janie Carter talked about Nixon's involve- ment with Watergate during her first period class.

Stu- dents were beseiged by it. Straight teeth, corrected eyes, hair always in its proper place; self concious- ness was a major pre- occupation.

Metal mouth, Four eyes, Friz- zles, whatever the label, students had to deal with their friends' reactions to them on a daily basis. straight , uncurled, Each discovered, however, perfection is not quite perfect.

Some students who have red hair appreciate their uniqueness. “I used to hate the color of my hair, but now I like it be- cause not many people have red hair, said Kelly Warren, junior.

We had bad cars and fast cars, neat cars and junk cars. But the most important thing is that we got around. There were many students in Snyder High who took pride in what they drove. Sophomore Cal Eaton said, I took pride in my car be- cause it was a gift and it was special to me. When I was behind the wheel, I took my car to the limit. I never drove slow if I could help 198 Wheelin' It it. Another student who took pride in his car was Glenn Parham. What motivated me to drive a '56 Chevy, and why did I put so much pride in my car? Who else had one in this school? NOBODY! I like to be different, not just to be differ- ent, but as a change from the old routine. My sophomore year I was looking for a car. I knew I wanted some- thing unique, but what? So I looked around to see that it seemed like everyone was driving a new ex- pensive car. They all looked the same to me except for the color. That's when I decided on an older car. This type of car is also less expensive. I paid $800 for Kline (my car's name) which is consid- erably less than a new one. Also, insurance was not as high. New cars depreciate so quickly where as my car will increase in val- ue. Ten years from now my car will be worth $10,000 and a 1983 model may be worth $800. My car was also an invest- ment, said Parham. Whether the car was a special gift, great in- vestment or hard earned, most students rolled on wheels in '83.

They call Pizza Hut and ordered a juicy pizza with mush- rooms, cheese, olives, pepperoni, Canadian bacon and to top it off a salad and a coke. But most noontime munchers only went for the classic Ameri- can burger, and stu- dents had their own opinions of who made the classic. I think the Bowling Alley make the most classic burger because it had more of everyth- ing in there, and was just great! Freshman Michelle Pinkerton. Dairy Queen made the classic burger be- cause they were big, not dry, and very deli- cious. Freshman Ka- ren Boyd. Whata- burger, because they were big, tasty, and spicy. Freshman Joanie Solis. Some students stuck to the tradition of eat- ing in the school cafe- teria. It was alot cheaper and also they were getting a bal- anced meal. Other stu- dents just raided the Student Center for chips, candy bars, and cokes. This may not have been very nutri- tious but there is al- ways gonna be the Junk Food Junkie . No matter what we ate, whether it was a hot dog, a pizza, or chicken, it was all a matter of taste.

Rings bring them security, identity and and status. The gold band around an index finger estab- lishes the security of senority for hopeful ju- niors. It makes juniors realize they will actually be seniors. A senior ring also signifies three years of accomplishment. I ordered my ring when I was a junior be- cause I was excited about getting it, and when I got it I didn't hesitate to show it off,” said Junior Kyle Pruitt. On that senior ring, the type of stone is bet- ter than any Izod alliga- tor for providing status. Of course, anything is available from birth- stones to diamonds to engraved gold T's. Many students pre- ferred schools colors. I chose a black stone because it is one of the school colors and be- cause it is one of my fa- vorite colors,” said Ju- nior Jeff May. Of the three factors involved in buying a senior ring, perhaps the senior identity shines through the strongest as reflectied in every stone.

Robin was a self ap- pointed cheerleader for sports, sometimes even a hu- man commercial. (Lair Staff Photo) Cool radiates Cool raidiated throughout the year at Snyder High and each student had his own way of expressing his coolness. Fashion has always been the thing and we always got our share of it. But as far as trying to be cool, the eccentrics took the cake. When Frank Zappa's Valley Girl came out it was far out to talk like a val, but that bit the dust pretty quick. Then students just stuck to punk shades, Calvin Klein jeans, Zods, Polos, and $700 car stereos that of course will always be cool. Cool Radiates 209 SKIPPING IN: Sophomores Kevin Boyd and Micheal Harrison decided to go to class instead of buying a ticket for a basketball game in order to skip sixth period. We had fun to, said Margaret Watkins, Sophomore English teacher. (Lair Staff Photo) A noise in the hall, the click of a pen Side- tracked Perhaps more often than not, when the teacher talked to students, their ears closed, and they started doing the oppo- site of what was supposed to be done. Staring out of the window or at someone else seemed to be a big thrill instead of listening to the teacher. Boyfriends or girlfriends: students were always talking or daydreaming about them. And let's not forget about the class clown who leaned back in his chair and fell flat. In all these instances students found themselves sidetracked. I daydreamed about what it would be like to be going with lucious Steve Callaway. He has to be one of the best looking guys around. I daydream about us walking down the hall hand in hand, said Trisha Johnson, Freshman. I daydreamed that I was stranded on an island with Chris Atkins, John Stamos, and John Schneider, and they were all mine, said Karen Mayo, Sophomore. I daydreamed that I became a hero. Sometimes I daydream that the school catches on fire, someone is trapped. I go in and get the person out. Just as I get out of the building it explodes, said Brent McFarland, Freshman. I daydreamed about being in Sacra- mento, California on those sunny beaches with those beautiful fine girls in their skimpy bikinis. Especially Kim Harrison, she's one fine woman, Steve Jeffery, Sophomore. BEAUTY TIPS: Freshman Belynda Hinkle has more than school on her mind as she sits and combs her hair during class.

TOGETHER, Juniors Brandi Cambell and Peggy Eades strolled along one cold, windy winter day. They shared a few minutes between classes. Alike in some ways, but different in others, best friends are wherever the other goes. They are on the phone, at the show, or even riding around togeth- er. They are either out chasing guys or gossiping down the drag. Wherever there is one the other is close behind. My best friend is Jana Jackson, be- cause she is a really great girl, she has a good personality. She is always there when I need her. We always have a good time when we go out, Jackie Parham, sophomore. My best friend is Gloria Rodriquez. I like Gloria because I enjoy being with her and we enjoy everything about the same, mainly boys, said Sandy Thamez. My best friend is Steve Parker be- cause he helps me get out of trouble. We usually have good times playing ball. He is a really great guy, said Jake Menix, freshman. My best friend is Jackie Parham, be- cause she is a sweet person and she would do anything for me. She is always there when I need her and she always helps me out. We also have alot in com- mon and lots of fun together, said Jana Jackson, sophomore. 212 Friends Forever FRIENDS STICK TOGETHER: Freshmen Patrick Ma- lone, Lesa Barkowsky, Karen Doty, Tony Pineda, Diane Ford are best friends. Though Diane and Tony have just moved here, it seems like we have been best friends forever, said Barkowsky. HAVING A DAILY CHAT, Sophomores Tina Romero and Virginia Garcia sat in the Student Center talking about life and all the good looking, crazy guys. Ro- mero said it was their favorite topic of conversation.

Memorable Moments My most memorable experience was when I led the pledge of allegiance on the first day of school this year, and I was probably the last one to put my hand over my heart. I forget to turn toward the flag until after I started the pledge. Nolan von Roeder, Senior '83 One of my most memorable experiences in Snyder high School was when I slid down the stair railing in front of the library. I was the third one to slide down it at that time but I slid too far. I injured myself in a very private place and had to go to the hospital. When I got back to school I heard all kinds of stories. Everyone was kidding me bout it. Tracey Neves, Senior '83 My most memorable, special moment at Snyder High School was one Friday night at Tiger Stadium when Snyder was playing Lamesa, six Homecoming Queen nominees walked out on the field anxiously awaiting the verdict of who won. I was chosen as the Homecoming Queen of 1982-83, and I felt very, very proud. That is a night I will always remember. Ramona Murphy, Senior '83 216 Seniors GIVING IT ALL YOU GOT. Senior twirler Patty Gleastine gives all at her last football game. Although it was her last twirling act before Snyder Tiger fans, she remembered all the good times that made This One Special. MAKING THE BEST OF IT: Seniors, Donna joplin, Patty Gleastine, Vera Lopez, and Lynn Quiros, enjoy their last band pep rally. The seniors in the band did not have to play their instruments in the pep rally, so they made This One Special.

Seniors have to choose their topics, read, and take notes, notes, and more notes before they can write their term papers. A lot of seniors dread the term paper, but they easily fall into the pattern of han- dling all the reading and note taking. Many seniors often wonder why a term paper is so important in high school. A student needs to be familiar with the library, the use of the library, and how to organize materials. It is an abso- lute must for a person going to college, said Brenda Otto, twelfth grade English teacher. Otto said that she both dreads and looks forward to the term pa- per when it is time for her classes to start on it. Otto also added that the first day in the library is horri- ble, but she likes to see students become involved individually in their own work. Students de- velop a responsibility for their judgement in work, Otto said. All students are afraid of re- search papers because these pa- pers are different. These are not the standard five or seven para- graph essays. The student must spend hours reading books which are different from those they are used to reading. Once they 'get into' the paper, they are not quite as terrified, said Alta Lynch, twelfth grade English teacher. Writing the term paper does help if a student is college bound. The paper is most defi- nitely helpful in college. They tell you you have to write a paper and it helps to know how. Some Students didn't, said Otto. If the student does not pass the term paper, it does not mean that he has flunked the course. But, if he does not turn one in at all, he will flunk. The student should do his best on the research paper to be- gin with. However, since the pa- per counts 9 10 of the nine weeks grade, should a student make a failing grade on the pa- per, he will be given a second chance to raise the grade to pass- ing, said Lynch. Even though a student is not going to college, the research paper will be a big help to him. Even if college is not in the fu- ture plans of a student, they must know how to use a library and be organized. In jobs, you must think indepently and be orga- nized, said Otto. Seniors in some schools do not have to write a research paper. Every senior in every high school should write a research paper. No matter where one goes or what he does, he will need to know how to look for information and how to analyze and evaluate what he finds, said Lynch. I think writing a term paper is good. It is not a waste of time if you plan on going to college. Barry Davis, Senior '83 The term paper will help me because I plan to go to college. It will give more writing practice and a good learning exper- ience. Magdalena Aguirre, Senior '83 TYPING IT UP! To end their term papers, seniors had to have the final copy typed up.

Seniors 223 College, marriage; a senior's choice After Graduation What am I going to do now? With their high school diploma in their hand, graduates had to decide what their next step was going to be. During the year, some seniors had to juggle with coming to school going to work after school, and trying to keep up with their homework. After graduation, seniors could join any of the armed forces, get married, or go to work. They may choose one of these or just go their seperate way; either way, life does go on. Whatever jobs seniors had dur- ing the year, that particular job may not be what the senior want- ed for his career choice; so deci- sions had to be made. I am planning to go to the Uni- versity of Hawaii to be a youth counselor. David Gutierrez, Senior '83 I plan to go to McMurry Col- lege and major in nursing. Yolanda Ruiz, Senior '83 My plans are to go to South- west Texas State and major in Business and Merchandising. Becky Pylant, Senior '83 CASHING IT IN: Senior, Don Johnson, is one of many seniors who had to keep up with school and a job after school. Don was employed at Safeway grocery market.

After Graduation 225 Ugh, Snort, Snarl! Powdered seniors Puffup Second in the Powder Puff ac- tivities, was the Volleyball game. The Gravediggers took the Won- der Worms to their grave, 15-4, 12-15, 15-13. The last two games were close till the end. David Nicholson, a Wonder Worm, said “Whenever we got to serve we didn't get the ball over the net in the third game, is what got the Wonder Worms beat. James Caldwell, a Gravedig- ger, said, “Our superior setting and explosive spiking is what won it for us. Plus, when we were behind we didn't give up. All the guys enjoyed the game, even though it got heated at times. Most of the guys had played before, but this was the first time it was organized. Both James and David said it was fun to play, but it was different. This year's powder puff activi- ties ended without any vulgar language or obscene yells at the pep rally. Though they got close sometimes, there wasn't a fight at the football game and the vol- leyball game, except for some bad officiating (just joking O'Pry and Kruse), the game was a suc- cess. Senior Mike Luera said, “The powder puff activities break up the monotony of school and everybody has a good time! Powder Puff was Snyder High's cure for spring fever.

(Photo by Lawrence McCown) 228 Powder Puff World War Three Silver Bullets bang the executioners With the actions, talks and flare-ups from the senior girls and coaches, people could have thought that there was going to be another World War instead of just a powder puff football game. Coaches divided the senior girls into two teams; one called the Silver Bullets and the other, The Executioners. The Silver Bul- lets put it to the Executioners and won the game 18-12, which was held on May 3 at Tiger Stadium. During the pep ralley, stu- dents, teachers, and parents were entertained by the boy cheerleaders who yelled some of the most outragious cheers. Girl students went wild when the Ex- ecutioners' coaches walked out onto the court in Togas. The Sil- ver Bullets' cheerleaders ran to them and tried to take them off; they succeeded pulling off one of the coach's Togas. Both teams were introduced and team cap- tains gave speeches on how they thought the game would turn out. Senior Tracy Neves was an- nounced Powder Puff Queen, other nominees were Junior Jin- tanuagool (Tu) Kittipun; Sopho- more Jay Mayo; Freshman Patrick Malone. For the Silver Bullets, running back Susie Lee ran for 50 yards for the first touchdown of the game. The Executioners came back on their first possession as quarter- back Lisa Waller ran for about 55 yards to tie up the game at 6-6. In the second quarter, Silver Bullets' quarterback Stacy Talbott threw a five-yard pass to running back Mary Beth Leonard. During the third quarter, Waller pitched the ball to running back Lisa Loy- ola, and she ran for a touchdown to tie up the score at 12-12 for the Executioners. In the last score of the game, Talbott ran from the Silver Bul- lets' line of scrimmage for a touchdown to make the score 18- 12. The Executioners were not able to score again, so the Silver Bullets won the game 18-12. A WAVE OF BEAUTY? The Silver Bullets were cheered on by these senior boys who dressed up as cheerleaders for the annual Powder Puff Football game.

(Lair Staff Photo) Energized ceremony Whistles, shouts, screams greet '83 graduates World I hope you are ready, drawled Superintendent Bill Hood as he concluded the commencement exercises held May 19 in the Scurry County Colise- um. During the ceremony, there were quite a few whistles and loud exclama- tions from both the seniors and the audi- ence. The heckling reached its climax when Senior Mark Erwin walked across the stage to receive his diploma and a few senior boys chanted Erwin. Indeed, the atmosphere at com- mencement was charged with excite- ment. President of the School Board G.A. Parks handed out 167 diplomas. Counselor Janet Wesson awarded thirty- nine members of the class college schol- arships. Tom Holcomb, minister of the East Side Chrich of Christ gave the com- mencement address in which he empha- sized the importance of quality and choices. He urged the graduates to make not just promises, but commitments throughout their lives. Choristers and graduating seniors Ra- mona Murphy, Mark Lyon, Carla Harper and Calvin Wimmer performed the class song Up Where We Belong. The class color is red and its flower is the rose. The 1983 class's motto is I shall not be afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday, and I know today. 230 Graduation THAT HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA: Senior Hector Ca- billo shares his moment of officially completing twelve years of work with his family after graduation.

It was not necessarily the awards they anticipated, but the move on stage from their designated spot in the auditorium. Shouting 83 ' 83, 83, and finally singing the alma mater for the last time, the seniors officially and traditionally ended their year. (Lair Staff Photo) AN ELECTRIC EVENING: Most students who attended the Junior Senior Prom, held March 25 in the coliseum, agreed it was the most extravagant prom ever. The theme was The New York Experience with such places as Sardis, Broadway, Time Square, Central Park and other famous landmarks. David Crane and Tracy Lane, junior, chit-chat- ted in Central Park before strolling over to Sardis for some- thing to munch on. (Lair Staff Photo) 238 This One's Special :T , in @nc's n ineteen hundred and eighty three was a year to remember. Each of us had something that stood out in our minds the most about this school year. From the ma- jor changes such as the auditorium being named after Jerry P. Worsham, drama direc- tor, the Fine Arts Department getting nomin- ated by the Texas Education Agency for the Rockfeller grant, the B band winning sweepstakes for the first time, and English teacher Margaret Watkin's special retirement assembly where she received a pearl bracelet to the seemingly insignificant details such as the cut-off sweatshirts and the ever so popular checkered Vans roaming the halls, and the announcements by Calvin Wimmer as Jethro to raise school spirit; we will always remember the major changes as well as the little details of '82-'83. WE LOVE YOU MIZ W. When the stu- dent body found out Margaret Watkins was retiring from being married to the school for 19 years, they decided to do something unique for her. The students pulled together and bought Miz W a pearl bracelet. To Watkins' surprise, she was called up on stage in an impromptu assembly to receive flowers, a crown, and the story of her life. Tears revealed her feelings, when at the end of the assembly, the student body sang, We Love You Margaret.

Going out every Friday and Saturday night, making the drag a countless number of times, listening to Def Leppard or Brian Adams, and, of course, parking on the Cool side of the Sonic getting the latest gossip and hoping you-know-who will drive by: Sure, these things hap- pen every year, but this year was a new year with different people and ideas making 1983 their own, making this one special. ffh is 0no s off)c c tci! 240 This One's Special
