They design the skits and do the cheers, and provide ideas and groups for entertainment. This year Joe Fowler from chan- nel l2 came and led a few cheers. Aside from these things we played spirit games had spirit stick contests, and led our team on to victory.

Seniors 1980-81 Class Officers and Sponsors The 1980-81 senior class has had a very memorable year at Southwest. They have worked together to have many profitable fund raising activities, such as bake sales, car washes, caramel corn and candle sales, and many others. The Seniors have raised this money for their Senior trip to Astro- world, although they did not reach their goal to get Greyhound buses, they were just as eager to go on yellow school buses. The Seniors have also been active in spirit as well, they joined together to win the spirit decorating contest during Homecoming and also the spirit stick dur- ing the South San West pep rally. The Seniors have enjoyed one last year at Southwest before going their separate ways. To the Seniors of 1980-81 we dedicate this page. Senior Class Alverado. Ernest Alvarez, David Arnaro.

The class worked on various pro- jects all year to raise money for next year's Jr.-Sr. Prom. Members sold pencils, carnations and baked goods.

Qophomores Qophomores 1981 This year's sophomores didn't always adjust to structured sched- J uling. For the girls, it was a paradise of good looking guys. For the guys, it was a promise of better days ahead. You found security in your groups of friends and sometimes forget that a class hour is for work, not a party time. It was a year of learning about yourselves, a year to wear off childishness and grow more mature. It was an important year to shed uncertainties and gain confidence. 62 Alvarado, Mary Alvarado, Yolanda Alvarez, Hector Alvarez, Irma Anderson, John Arguello, Armando Arguello, Martha Arredondo, David Bailey, Wayne Balonis, Kathy Barocio, Monica Baunann, Danny Belko, Richard Bennett, Regina Beverage, John Bishop, Tony Bonillas, Roni Bradley, Carlyn Acton, H oward Aelvoet, Bobby Aguilar, Ruben Alvarado, Eddie Alvarado, Jaime fl Sophs take time out to visit, eat and gain strength fon afternoon work or play.

Working closely with the superintendent and two commu- nity groups-The Study Commit- tee and Capital Improvements Program Committee-The Board plans for a new high school, an elementary school, in Hidden Cove Area and necessary improvements to existing proper- ties. These additions to Southwest District will be financed by bonds voted overwhelmingly by citizens. Trustees make sound, long- range plans because of their awareness of the the obligations to the community which elected them. These forward actions reflect their committment and concern for the future.

Steinhauser is always filling out orms. fir. Steinhauser is constantly making decisions pertaining to chool business. Mr. Steinhauser in a meeting with Mrs. Coleman and Mr. Lyssy. Superintendent Mr. Steinhauser Leads Southwest to Expansion Growth of a school district is measured in many ways the curriculum offered to the students, extra-curricular activities, the number of dedicated professionals and others who service the student population, the facilities in which school activities take place, and by so many intangibles which are part and parcel of any educational system. Leading such a system is the superintendent who plans that growth and provides direction for all variables that make up the growing system. Working closely with the Board of Trustees, Mr. Bennie F. Steinhauser has brought the school dis- trict steadily forward, channeling the combined energies of students and staff toward greater achievements. i Under his leadership, Southwest District has expanded to seven schools with the addition of the unique Sky Harbour School. His dream now is to build a new high school and elementary that will provide more opportunities for student advance- ment. The district is growing and Mr. Steinhauser and the board are determined, with creative planning, to provide Southwest with the kinds of programs that will impact on the diverse needs of the com- munity . . . and an even brighter tomorrow. Mr. Steinhauser and Mr. Lyssy having a 107 meeting to discuss matters dealing with the proposed high school. Central Office The Central Office is com- posed of professionals who have different job descriptions that make S.W.I.S.D. one of the best in Texas. All in all, the Central Office works in a communitive effort to help the Superintendent forward the educational opportunities available to Southwest. ' v. , Mr. L.

Alwags A Leader Alwags A Friend A good, working organization the size of Southwest High School requires a steady, patient, well organized administrator to guide teachers and students. That person has been Mr. Larry Taylor, who has served his fourth year as principal. The complexity of his duties limits the time he can spend on each problem, but his quiet ability to listen, evaluate and understand irons out many rough spots every day. He consistently tries to guide students and teachers to responsible choices and actions. The progress of this school the past years can be attributed to Mr. Taylor. His ideas for cur- riculum and student-teacher relationships inspire all of us to achieve greater goals. The mountains of paper work takes much time that he would rather spend with teachers and students. 109 Vice Principals Principals Help wilh Problems Vice-principal Faith Ballard attempts to help students with non-academic problems so that they may get the greatest benefit from the schoolls educational opportunities and to help them achieve the fullest benefits from the schoolls non-academic programs, services and offerings.

JV Foolball JV on Their Wag Though they lost nine games the JV team was very impressive, and will be a big help for the next year's varsity. Many of their games were lost in the final sec- onds of a game. Other games were lost to lack of experience. Joe Marsh and John Roskosky were the JV coaches. Though they had a losing season, the Rick Verstufyt runs 35 yards for the touchdown coaches as well as the players never gave up, and that's a good sign for the spirit of next year's varsity. Good offense was an asset to the team. Rick Verstufyt looks for an opening. The block in this play by Louis Lopez was a winning factor in this game. Freshman Foofball The freshman football team worked and gained valuable experience. They completed the season with Wins over Boerne, Fredricksburg and Pleasanton and Medina Valley. They tied Hayes and lost to Carrizo Springs and Somer- set.

They ran into some pretty tough com- petitiong nevertheless with a little team effort they pulled through. The determined team managed to adjust to a new offense which was introduced in the middle of the year. The team gave a lot of coop- eration when it was most needed. They received a first place trophy and a third place trophy at the tournaments they attended. They ended in a 13-8 record. fTopl: Mgr.

An overtime loss to Kerrville was the heartbreaking end to 14 straight victories. Good ball-handling, and accurate shooting under pressure plus needed depth on the bench helped the team many times. Outstanding games this season were against Kerrville, Clemens, Carrizo and Boerne. Jon Zabava, James Betus, Abel Vela and Tom Hinojosa carried high point averages for the season.

Having only two senior starters, the Dragons started the year off in fine fashion by capturing second place in the Fredricksburg Tourney. Rain caused cancellation of the Hondo Tourney, so the Dragons finished out the non-district schedule at four wins and five losses. The first round of dis- trict play was tough for Southwest. They ended up with 2-5 mark with wins over Southside and Pleasanton. The second half of district struck a different note. David Lopez started it off by pitching a no-hitter against Carrizo Springs. Against Pleasanton he struck out 14 Eagles, but the hitting and run produc- tion for the Dragons did not come through. The Dragons finished up the second half of district at 3-4 and 9-l4 for the season. David Lopez ended the season with 98 strike-outs and also led the team in hitting. He was awarded the MVP award and Edward Ibarra won the Hustler's Award. I Q sw E 9 1 M AQ E Q , W y 'W A ,, I I A M nv 3 Z2 A' i 21 V is MQ' L A, , t -wir. 7 7 . ,fr V it V my 5 e I .

As the year progressed, responsibilities and tensions began to increase for everyone involved. But, we managed to pull together and put out the best yearbook we knew how. Money had to be raised before we could do very much planning. We had a fifteen mile walk-a-thon to raise money for color pages. After this money was raised, work on the cover, pictures, layouts, and dead- lines began. Meeting deadlines and getting pictures became very hectic at times. During all this there was someone we could always depend on for support. Mr. Mike Brown is to be congratulated on his fine artwork in this yearbook and the support he gave many of the staff members. As you tum the pages of this yearbook, I hope you feel we have covered the events of the year that pertain to you. May this yearbook bring back many fond mem- ories of another year at Southwest High School. say, 95333822 Sari angels, texag
