ECCLESIASTICS 3:1-8 TABLE CL CCNTENTS 3 DEDICATION Customarily, U c SACHEM doec not. carry a dedication page, but this year wc are making an exception to that custom and dedicating the 1987 SACHEM to Mr. George Alter. The reasons for this dedication are myriad. Mr. Alter is much more to Southwest than just a teacher who has spent thirty years teaching in the some school. During the past thirty years, Mr. Alter has been an instrumental music instructor, a father figure, a difficult taskmaster, and an unwavering friend to the student8 who have passed through the instrumental music program. We, like those students who came before us, have complained at the long hours of proctice t e forced us to endure, quailed bcforo his honest criticism of our lack of diligence, end responded with pride when we finally earned his praise. It is with gratitude for a debt that we can never repay that we r.ay, Thank you, Mr. Alter, for being ttiere when we needed you, for pushing us that extrs mile to achieve what, we were capable of achiev- ing, and for always believing in un and in Southwest. In the four yearn we have spent at Southwest, no one has given more of himself than you have to make our high school career successful and then shrugged it all off as if you were doing nothing special. As we leave our high school days behind us and go on to brooder horizons, we will miss you and cherish forever the love and support you have given us. GEORGE ALTER An alarm rings. A thousand weary pairs of eyes turn und open... and seek out the nearest heavy object to throw at it. But by 7:40 A.M. each of these thousand students has settled his battle with his (or her) battered clock and come to class at Southwest High School. Why, one may well wonder, would so many purportedly sane (a dangerous assumption) people subject themselves to the torture of waking up at such an ungodly hour? Well, I, like many others, have wondered about this for a long time, so I will attempt to solve this riddle before I'm through. There are only two reasons why people could do such a thing to themselves, either they are being forced (in this free country of ours?) or they wont to come, even if they would prefer a slightly later time. Before you answer too quickly, think about what you would do with yourself without school. Work at McOonald's 3nd make the Fry Guy position after a year? No! Besides, as clever and devious as teenagers are, do you really think we would go at all, unless for some unspeakable reason, we actually wanted to? No! So just what is it that makes Southwest such on incredible place to spend your Monday mornings? First, all or most of your friends can be found in school. Some of the best times of our Jives are spent here. While these times might not include the math final, time at football gomes, after-football-game donees end parties, and school club activities are, you must admit, school organized and usually a blast. Parties, however, are not the the school's reason for being here. Primarily, Southwest is a learning institution. However, not all that we learn is reading, writing, and arithmetic. There are classes such as Band, Orchestra, Publications, Drama, Choir, and Art. These classes showcase the individual students of Southwest and our abilities. They provide us a unique opportunity to show who we are and whot we can do, with, of course, lessons in these skills from our instructors. This is the basic essence of Southwest: what together we are capable of, and what we have done. Our achievements include first place at the state competition for ROTC units for several years running. Orchestra's frequent one ratings are another measure of the excellence at Southwest; as is a football team that ranks ninth in the state (in its state class) and first place in the Inter- scholastic League. We are a school of many talents spanning a kaleidoscope of areas of competition and perfor- mance. Still, there is more to the school than competition. The clubs and activities st South- west have given us an inner spirit end pride in our school. Such groups or. Pep Club and Honor Nine are devoted to keeping the Injun spirit alive. We roily under their bottle cries, and laugh at their ridiculous skits. Of course, we can't forget that a lot of work goes into Pom Pon's and cheer- leaders' fun and games. In the summer there is cheerleader's camp, as well os the mandatory early practices in mid-August. Several days a week are spent preparing for the next gome, and, of course, Pep Club and Honor Nine members,v as well as the cheer- leaders, must have high game atten- dance. International Club and the foreign language clubs have very carefully designed purposes. As n supplement to the language programs, these clubs try to help the students understand and bridge the culture gap between notions. International Club him the largest role here: actually sending students to experience and enter into these cultures in other countries, while giving a place for similar students from other cultures to experience our culture and teach us about theirs at the same time. It ia a fun and exciting way to become aware of the world around us. One could even say that it is an effort at world peace- one person at a time. Other clubs perform valuable services to the school and community, though not all can be listed. An especially good example is Red Cross. They raise funds for important charities to serve the community. In 8 nerviceo to the school, among other things, they sponsor the onnual Baby Ooll Dance which has been enjoyed for many years. Underneath all of this, however, Southwest is still a school of basic learning. Reoding, writing, and arithmetic are taught here, but these classes aren't just there to make up a required class list. These basic skills, especially when used in conjunction with different and more specialized skills, con make almost anything possible for you. These classes improve our ability to communicate with the world (the most essential skill of all) and also prepare us for college, where one finishes the process of becoming able to make the fullest and best use of one's abilities. While the classes tlwmselves might not provide the most excitement in your life, the possi- bilities they can open up may very well be just that. Yes, Southwest is more than just four years out of your life. Indeed, it is more than just a basic educa- tion. If you apply yourself, and use all that lies hiding within this fifty-year-old building to your greatest benefit, there is little in this world that you cannot accomplish. We only have to take up the oppor- tunity that lies before us, to move this world into the twenty-first century and live up to all that we expect of that era.

They were the best Southwest team since 1968 with a 9 and 2 record, and for the third time in the last six years, they made the state playoffs. The season becjan on a bright note with a 33-7 victory over Truman. It marked the first time that the Indians had ever defeated Truman in the history of the match-up. SW also set two state records during the game with three running backs: Paul Williams, Darroyce Thornton, and Mike Jones each Torron Phillips, Eric Henuber, Jesse running for over 100 yards and gaining a total of 666 rushing yards. This feat was reported in the Missouri news section of USA Today. The Indians proceeded to dominate their Interscholastic league competi- tion with a 7 and 1 record in the league. The sole loss was to the rival Southeast Knights in the Homecoming Game. Southwest's only homecoming touchdown was the result of a 12 yard pass from quarterback Steve Ford to Paul Williams. Perhaps the most heartbreaking loss Webb, Thomas Gibson, Sean Reams, Coach of the season was in the first round of the state 6A district playoffs against defending state champion, Chillicothe. It was a hard fought game on a cold night. The game was played in Chillicothe rather than in Kansas City because the playing conditions at the IL field were deemed unplayable. On their home field, the Hornets dominated the Indians, allowing Southwest only one touchdown. The Indians finished the season ranked eighth in the Kansas City Star Times final poll. 24 H Do not needlessly endanger your lives unless 1 give you a signal. Dwight D.

William Shakespeare FIRST ROW: Carolyn Getinno STCONO ROW: I oShun Bozeman TM1R0 ROW: Melinda McDonald, Lisa Tate, Tracy Smalls FOURTH ROW: Candra Ruffin Our 1906-87 spikin' volleybollers worked hard throughout their season, practicing four hours daily during their pre-season. When the official season began the team started off as expected: winning some, losing some. The players were just ordinary friends each school day but then out on the court they became a team. Southwest has had a girls' volley- ball team for thirteen years, placing four times in the Interscholastic League Championships. Southwest has placed from first to fifth; this year's team tied Southeast for fourth place. This year's team find five experi- enced senoir players. They were: Carolyn Gettino, Candra Ruffin, Traci Smalls, and Crystal Walker. The new players were: Lashun Bozeman, Stacy Brown, Renita Goff, Stephanie Howard, Kimberly Robinson, Stacy Stewart, Lisa Tate, and Hallarie Walker. Although these new players were unexperienced, they played with talent and promise for next year's team. Since 1989 the Southwest volleyball team has had a new coach each season, and this year was no exception. The new coach was Diane Stevenson who came to Southwest from Central High School. At Central she sponsored cheerlending and coached volleyball and football for fifteen years. Coach Stevenson was a dedicated coach and worked to pull the players together into a team. She often reminded the «girls that they were not individuals but that they were jelled together to play as a team. She always encouraged the team;, when things seemed hopeless and the team was losing a game, Coach Steven- son would tell the girls: Don't give up I ill the fat lady sings . The players on the team seemed to get along well and became quite close friends. They supported each other both on and off the court. Before each gome the team would pray reciting the Lord's Prayer. During time outs the girls displayed their spirit by raising one finger in the air, a sign to represent they were the ffl team. Each girl would try to get her finger to the top. The team's sweetest victory was when they defeated our rival, Southeast, in the last league gome. During the District Championships, Southwest lost to Southeast in one gome, but was victorious over them in another.During the winning game the team relied on their Doak strategy. This was where a player would psyche out the opponent and act like she was going to spike the ball when she was actually only planning on lightly tipping it. This would trick the opponents and catch them off guard. Their victory over Southeast placed Southwest in a tie with them for fourth place in the Interscholastic League. The Injun team had a rewarding, fun- filled year volleying around. South- west had two All-St8r players Carolyn Gettino and Melinda McDonald. The team finished the season with a record of 6-12. 29 CCCSS-CCWNTCy This year's cross country corps was expecting nn outstanding year. In the wake of last year's exceptional performance, many of the runners did not remember what it was like to be simply above average. They were, in a way, shocked at their poor display of ability. As they realized they were not last year's team, they began to work and were pleasantly surprised at the end of the season. The team's loss of power was evident from the beginning. The summer practice attracted few prospects; only ten people showed up on most days, and only four people attended with consistency. No girls began practice before school began. As the season progressed, the team showed little gain in depth, barely pulling together a varsity team in many events, having a minimal number of junior varsity runners and a small group of freshmen, and frequently faiiing to fieJd a complete girls' team; the squad remained small. Nearing the end of the season, however, the varsity team appeared to be building its momentum. The Indians had defeated the Northeast Vikings and tied them although the Vikings were a team that was considered by many to be superior to SW. Unfortunately, NE was able to resurge at the Interscholastic League Championship and take the title from SW. In the District meet, the Indians barely qualified for Sectionals; they were the last team to advance, beating the next team by only two points. As a result of this race, the Indians were ranked seventh in the area. Since only the top five teams would advance to the State Meet, the Indians needed to pull a surprise turn around. This they did, finishing third in the Sectional Championship at Swope Park. The team had reached a milestone. In the State Competition the fleet footed fall flyers finished tenth and remained the third best team in the K.C. area.

The orchestra teamed up with either the band and or choir to perform several concerts during I ho year. The first one was the Fall Concert in October which was followed during the winter season with two performances in rapid succession: the Holiday and Winter Concerts. The Holiday Concert featured seasonal types of music, such as a selection from the Nutcracker Suite end Sleigh Ride. The Winter Concert gave way to a more classical style of music and featured Susanne Park as soloist for Beethoven's Romance, Dp. 5P ofter which she wns presented with a dozen red roses.

On January 9 and 10, George Klepac and Amy llelmkamp attended a grueling rehearsal after school on Friday and during the day on Saturday and then played in the District Concert that night. Susanno Park was selectori as a member of the All State Orchestra and spent January 21-24 at Tnn-Tar-A preparing for, and playing in, a concert.

The 1986 87 Southwest High School Bond could answer this. The Band members turned printed notes, such as bl, into music. The music heard emanating from room 226 during the fourth hour was the combination of notes, skill, rhythcm, dynamics, and emotion. This year's Marching tribesmen marched in several different settings. They marched in two parades: the American Royal Parade and the Vet- erans' Day Parade. In the American Royal Parade, Band and Pom Pon rose up early on a Saturday morning to show the parade's groupies Southwest's orange and black. fhe Band war. the Ceremonial Band in Ihe Veterans' Day Parade. Patriotic music was performed! indoors for this event because of near-freezing weather. The tribesmen prepared several drills, but to Lite members' disaftpninlmonl they were only allowed to perforin one pre-game and one half-time show due to bad weather. On Halloween Ihe Hand marched in Ihe Hrnoksidn area and per I turned I heir repertoire for costumed children. In the autumn, the school had its annual fall Concert. All the music classes, Band and Choir .alike, performed a selection of songs. Ihe concert was mainly to show the public what Southwest had accompIished in the area of musip during the first two months of the school year. December was the month that the Winter Holiday Concert was held. Ihe concert, again featuring all music classes, was the first time in the 1906-B7 school year that the Concert Hand (the Marching !ribe:;mon without Ihe marching) wan seen in public. II was Ihe time of year when the msl ru- mnntn no I used when marching (oboes, bassoons, I rench horns, and eupho- niums) were brought oul of storage. The concert ended with a sing-a-lnng which had the Concert Band accom- panying the mossed choir and I he audience.

I hey were a very dedicated group of singers. Iheir first performance of the year was the Fall Concert after which they were asked to sing at many out of school events. Singing at City Mall, Royals Stadium Club, and Children's Mercy Hospital are some of the appointments that were made for the Christmas Season.

The main purpose for having a gospel choir is to get young people to put their hope, failh, and dreams into something longlnsling and rewarding. It further serves the purpose of giving students an oppor- tunity to part icipnle in something that promotes, a good self image. Singing was just the beginning of I lie goodness I hat has hron shared with many other!� thin year. I � bornme a member of this organization one didn't have to sing like Vanessa Bell Armstrong, the Clark Sinters, or any other well known Gospel singer or group. You only had to be a dedicated individual and interested in wiInclin- ing through song. Almost every week I he gospel dviir tried lo have a productive rehearsal. The rehearsals opened with a prayer and sometimes a scripture. Everyone joined hands al these times. During the' hour and a half spent each week, the choir practiced traditional gospel songs for presentation at programs such as the Black History Program and other programs throughout the com- munity where they were invited to perform. Members of I lie Gospel Choir are different ages, have di fferent interests, come f rom di fferent backgrounds, and repre senl many dillerrnl Chris! i :in ileii(mi ilia 1 inns. this neither destroys the intensity of the choir nor does it change the unity of I he group.

The purpose of International Club is to help introduce the students to the American culture ond moke them feel more comfortable at Southwest. In order to achieve these gnols, the International Club had several activities throughout the school year. Among them were two traditional activities: the Harvest Party and a gathering at the home of Christ ine Williams. This year the International Club invited American Field Service students from the Kansas City area to the Harvest Party; it proved to be an overwhelming success. Among the attractions of this event were a performance by the Stage Bond and lots of good food. The other main activity sponsored hy International Glut) was a bench party at the homo of former sponsor and faculty member, Christine Williams. At this activity the club helped to further impress upon the foreign students the American fondness for hot dogs and suntans. Altogether, this year's International Club proved to be a success, not only for sponsor Sharon Tuley, Tomo, Malcolm, and Pascale, but foi the other members of the club also. 55 STAGE CREW Ladies nnd Gout lemon, I ho unsung heros, Stage Crew. Ihc Stage Crew'u job is to run the sound and lighting for assemblies and productions in the audit orium. They supply props and special of focis I lull may ho needed during a production. The need for maturity, the ability to follow directions, and sometimes coolness under pressure are necessary for any Stage Crew member to run the equipment back stage. To be author- ized to run any equipment, one must be checked out and tested to see if he's qualified. After that person has been checked out on all of the equipment, he she earns the rank of stage manager, which means he she can run a crew for a production. riRST RUW: Stephen Dradley, Sarah Klochau, Quinccy Williams, James Patrick, Bret Thompson, Kevin Creer SfCUND ROW: Mrs. Stevinin, Kenny Wentworth, Traci Anderson, Kim Stevens, Kelly Stevens, Nathan Choate, Tammy Rowycr, Eric Hudson, Sown Winfield, Eliza Mendoza, Erykn Adair, Robyn Young THIRD ROW: Michael Council, Chris Downing, Darrel Hionnock MATHAGRI V Checkmate.

While the service provided by our student organization may not have been spectacular; we rarely rush in to rescue persons in times of disaster; tlie Indian chapter of Red Cross annually made its mark. Once again this year, Red Cross honored Southwest teachers arvi support personnel with carnations lo show appreciation for service given to Southwest High School.

After some early problems with late articles, the Trail Editor, Carolyn Gcttino, bore down on the tardy reporters and helped get ■ them fixed. The SACHEM Staff vowed to do away with the thrilling mid-June yearbook signing party by getting it ready for distribution well before the end of school. The SACHEM Editor, Kim Trusty, saw to it that pictures were taken and articles written on time (...in a minute, Kimbo!) The writers ifor the SACHEM dealt heroically with the age-old problem of trying to say how great the year was when it wasn't even halfway over yet. Despite the sometimes forceful nature of the editors and laziness of the writers, the Publications Staff managed to keep a fun and relatively informal atmos- phere that was X 61 I I I S I O 1 B r I RSI ROW: Andrea Jonaon-Trcanurer, Steven Thomas-Vicc-Prcsidcnt, SCCOND ROW: Kim Stcvcnn, Dana Gibbs, Denise Reelor-Secrel nry, I.aura Sehaeffei 11111(0 ROW: Vivian Grover, Linda IngerIy-Pmrsiclc?nL, Katie Cnrinni, Jon I reeland, Phuonq Bui-First Hour Representative, Elizabeth Cotton, Chris French FOURTH ROW: Matt Lewis, Nathan Choate, David Moore, Joe Smith, Robert Thorton, Marco Cunamnno, Flaine Itoeshery Sql .-at-Arm:;, Matt Fulsnn This year's 50 member Frenrh Club, under ttie direction of gmiifsor Or. Louis Selvey and President Linda A. Ingerly, began the year by setting a goal to expand the knowledge of French culture and language. The club experienced the art of French food by going to eat at a French restaurant, holding a French cooking contest, and sampling French pastries in class. To increase knowledge of the arts, the club took a trip to the Nelson Art Gallery and went to sec a French play Le Bougeois Gentilhome (the Middle- class Man). They also read poetry for the parents at this year's annual Ethnic Dinner and watched French movies. At Christmas time, the second year class roomed the hallowed halls singing carols of joy and happiness in French while back in the room other students were busy decorating the room with posters of famous Frcnch quota- tions. The French Club planned a trip to French Canada in June. To raise money for this trip they held a successful candy sale. The club also helped to fund Andrea Jonson and Steven Thomas' trip to France as AFS students. The club works with t lie F rench Alliance of Kansas City that annually gives an award to the student at Southwest with the highest academic achievement for the greatest number of years. The award is The Alliance rrancaise Award. This year's French Club lias had a very active year as a result of the outstanding leadership of its officers. The Southwest Spanish Club tackled yet another busy school year. This year's eager club members were led by club president, Sarah Gotson. Sarali and the rest of the club enjoyed an exciting and fun-filled year. One of the highlights of the year was a trip to World:; of tun. the members spent the day with fun and sun. The club also experienced difiner at Don llnmhrer. as well nr. a Halloween party, complete witli food, music, and a pifiata. However, in order to enjoy these activities, the club needed money.

The service featured readings, Christmas carols, and the homily, all in German. It was entirely performed by present and past students. In May, the club rented a bus and traveled to Herman, Missouri, for a trip to the Mai Fest. Tbe Mai Fest featured authentic German crafts, foods, and music made by those of German descent. Every year Dr. Garcia sponsors a spring trip to the German speaking part of Europe. This year's par- ticipants spent a week with a family in the West Cerman town of Unna. They also visited Munich, Rotenburg, Fussen, and Maintz. AnoMier feature of the Cerman Club was tbe movie series. Every month a German movie was shown. They ranged from modern dramas, to science fiction, to silent block and whites, to adaptions of classic German literature. Whatever tbe subject, they always' drew a crowd of students and German speaking members of the community. All of these activities helped to make German Club fun for all who were involved.

We selected this name to show the Southwest spirit of the Indian and to reflect the honors won by the Battalion. Along with a new name came many changes. Major Beyer came to SW from Northeast to help guide Southwest's rise after the Battalion lost its top spot. The Armory received a new paint job, orange and black, of course! This year outstanding cadets were recognized. Each week there was an inspection; an outstanding cadet, officer, and NCO were picked from each company. One person for each category was chosen as lhe Cadet of the Week. - After a month of inspections all the Cadets of the Week competed for Cadet of the Month. The winner received two free tickets to any chosen event. With this type of prize, competition was pretty rough. The companies, as a whole, also competed to become Honor Company. C Company, commanded by C Cpt Herbert Sims, was the company to try to beat for this honor. The uniforms now sport an orange and black Southwest Indian patch on the right shoulder. You can spot the commanders of the Battalion by the orange spot on their shoulders. The enrollment went down consid- erably with only 148 cadets partic- ipating. However, this did not damper the spirit of tbe Warrior Battalion. The power this year belonged to the young ladies of the Battalion. C LtC Donna McDonald was the Executive Officer for the Kansas City, Mo. School District, C LtC Tracy Shirley was the Battalion Commander, and C Maj Candra Ruffin was the Executive Officer for the Battalion. 64 BATTALION STAFF SI Rebecca Johnson, CSGM Mike Carpenter, Rnltnlion XO Candra Ruffin, S3 Darrell Green, S4 Tommy Smith BAT 1Al ION COMMANDER I racy Shirley EXECUTIVE OFFICER CADET CURT'S KCMO SCIKIOI DISIRICI Donna McDonald OOY'S COLOR GUARD Peter Giordano, Christopher Bradley, Mike Carpenter, Chris Spears GIRL'S COLOR GUARD Stacey Shirley, Marsha Leonard, Karshnwn Brown, Camila CJnrk BOY'S ALTERNAIf COLOR GUARD Lincoln McCoy, Reggie McDonald, Jerry Lacy, Joseph Harrington FLAG DETAIL FIRST ROW: Orlando Whitaker, Christnpher Calvin, Mike Carpenter, Joseph Harrington, Tanya Meyer SECOND ROW: Jerry Lacy, Andrew Gordon, Joe Runch A LUMPANY FIRST ROW: Chris Bradley, Terry Vincent, Chris Spcms SECOND ROW: Stephanie Harris, Thereto Sanders, Stacey Shirley THIRD ROW: Victoria Robinson, Larhondn Lawrence, Jonathon Skid TOURIH ROW: LaShun Bozeman, Sean Wilczok, Vincent Lee B COMPANY riRSf ROW: Consue lo Clayton, Richard Huh..,,son SECOND ROW: Rnheern Johnson, I nicy Shirley, Chris Drown Arthur Lewis THIRD ROW: Darrin Rokrr, Jason Smith, Erie Hudson rOURIII ROW: Sieve Cord, Sean C.reen 66 C COMPANY FIRST ROW: Herbert Sims SECOND ROW: Peter Giordano, Gwendolyn Knuckles, Joe Bunch, Debra Netters, Andre Smith, Tammi Locke, Eleose Freemon THIRD ROW: Tammy Bouyer, Robert Burnett, Chris Falzone, Christopher Calvin, Kenyo Jordan, Shelia King, Donna McDonald FQUR1H ROW: Robert Gooden, Michael Gray, Mike Carpen- ter, Reginald Taylor, Michael Ruffin, Candra Ruffin, Darrell Green D COMPANY FIRST ROW: Rodney Lovett, Dnryle Ohio, Darell Byrd SCCOND ROW: Sara lee, Doris Hopskin, Slier I run la Wilson, Tonya lleyer, Mary lee HIT Rl) ROW: Maurice Whilebear, Terrance Ebhera, I rein la Jenkins, f dwnrd Rand, John Black LOUR III ROW: Marchni I eonard, William Quenelle, Jimmie Monlc|omery, lelha lurner, Shawn Jones, Edward fowler, Royee Sawyer, .Joseph Cravens, Turin Riley 67 E COMPANY FIRST ROW: Curtis Roberts, Andre Youncj, Urlrindo Whitokrr SECOND ROW: lorry Brown, lewis Floyd, Anthony V:.im THIRD ROW: Dnrrk Vessel, Rr |cjir MiDonold, ll.'irr iiK|l on, Robert Riley I OIIK III ROW: I ddir Moon , J.uinn Pork, Shown Robinson I ncy, How;ir(I Ross, I ins Rof|in;ilr| Toy I or, Joseph RIFLE TEAM FIRST ROW: Darell Crcen SECOND ROW: Terry Vinrrnt, Eddie Moore THIRD ROW: Chris Spoors 68 DR 11 I UAH FIRST ROW: Morchoi Leonard, I In rim rt Sima, Stacy Shirley SECOND ROW: Chris Spears, Terry Vincent, Rodney Lovett, Edward Rand, Shawn Robinson, Michael Ruffin THIRD ROW: Eddie Moore, Reginald Taylor, Darrell Green, D Anthony Davis 69 EEC Cl PP FIRST RUW: Melia Ellis, Elense Freeman, Donna McDonnald, Tonya Williams, Kim Connor, April Miller, Candra Ruffin, Tammy Thorton, Janet Brooks-Sophomore Sgt.-at-Arms, Jennifer Wyatt-Junior Sgt.-at-Arms, Glynis McGautha-Secretary SECOM) RUW: Mark Webb, Terry Murphy, Earl Cotton, Steve Connaghan, Jamie Hopkins, Dorothy Bennett, Marco Cusumano, Carolyn Gettino-Vice President THIRD ROW: Brandi Malone, Andrea Jonson, Sylvia Davis, Yolanda' Hardin, Julie Cotton, Chris Modes, Mary Colbert, Emanuel Walker FOURTH ROW: Karin Williams, Mike Connaghan, Laura Norris-Treasurer, Kim Clause, Chris Downing, Elaine Roesbery, Linda Ingerly, David Wilson, Dan Murphy FIFTH ROW: Melinda McDonald, Renee Parks, Sherry Cea, Sarah Gatson, Lori DeFoor, Joy Holiwell, Kim Trusty-President, Holly Mchl, Becky Johnson-Senior Sgt.-at-Arms, Mary Smith, Julie Wertman Pep Club demonstrated outstanding spirit and enthusiasm as they cheered on Southwest athletic groups this year.

They were without skirts and cheers; end darkness was upon their faces, but there was a vision, a vision of orange and black. On day one God said, Let there be a captain. and then he created Jody Moorman. She said to God, God, I'm lonesome and I need help. On the second day God helped to relieve the captain's loneliness by creating a similar creature called Shewan Boweman, the co-captain. But for the work of caring for all the animals cn the athletic teams, more help was still needed. On the third day God said, Let's do this right. So he took the third, fourth, and fifth days for the complex task of building ten more similar creatures out of all the left-over scraps of white sweaters, bobby-socks, saddle shoes, and super extra heavy duty lungs. On the sixth day God saw the mass confusion of his created creatures and sent one of his chief angels, Ms. Gordon, to organize things. On the seventh day this group worked and became bound together as the world's first Indian Tribe. Their job was to lift the school's spirit, to encourage the athletic animals, end to show the tribe's orange, and black colors everywhere they went. 72 JODY MOORMAN Captain TERRI CAIN CAROLYN GET1INO JAMIE HOPKINS ODESSA HOWARD STACEY RENTIE EVETTE TAYLOR NICHOLE THOMAS ALICIA WALKER KELLY WASHINGTON 73 CHEERLEADERS J.V.

Sixteen excited girls competed, but only fourteen were selected. These girls then held in their bonds the duty of entertaining the sports' audiences at halftimes, marching in parades and performing at pep assem- blies. The Dancing Dollies set out for pom -pon comp at Baker University in Baldwin, Kansas, on June 22. While they were there, the girls learned various routines for such hits as Hollyrock by Sheila E. and Rest- less by Atlantic Starr. When asked about their camp experience, Captains Donna McDonald and Candra Ruffin replied that it. wasn't what they thought it would be, but all in all the squad got to know each other better and to enjoy each other's company. The squad began their performing year by doing a routine at orientation on August 26. However, the first performance at an athletic event was at a football game. Some of the new members were scared and their wish was not to embarrass themselves, but the Dancing Dollies finally became more comfortable performing. All in all, this was a growing year for Pom-Pon. At the beginning of the school year, Mrs. Kun arrived on the scene to rescue them after Mrs. Ledgerwood was transferred to Westport. The fun loving Pom-Pon squad kicked high to the music all year and entertained the Indian fans with a real orange and black flair. 7Q H M I NINE INOI AN: Melinda McDonald, S: Renee Parks, 0: Sherry Cea, U: Sarah Gatson, I: Lori DeFoor, H: Joy Holiwell, W: Kim Trusty, E.

After the 'nappers grew tired of watching them roll around, they put the eleven girls in a line and made them march to what they later discovered was the front of the school. They were then told to sing as loudly as possible while the rest of the student body left school to go home. Finally, just when they thought they were going to be released to go home witb the rest of the student body, they were whisked away to on unknown destination. After this trip, they were unblind- folded to find themselves sitting in the middle of someone's living room. It was there that they were told that they had been chosen for the 1906-87 Honor Nine squad. After much more humiliation, the new Honor Niners finally arrived at the Pep Club Banquet where they were introduced os the new squad. That was how the Honor Niners began their year. During the school year they performed new and different routines at each pep assembly. The football players were even included at one assembly. Each year Honor Nine is comprised of a group of eleven spirited seniors who attend many school activities and do everything they con to help promote school spirit. Sometimes this means they must make fools of themselves in front of the entire school, but that's what being on Honor Nine is all about: having fun! At each assembly tt e auditorium shakes as Honor Nine does their traditional cheer, Give me on 'S0UTHWES1' Indian. What's that spell? One more time! Each member who was chosen rep- resents one letter in the spelling of Southwest or one of the Indians that is found on each end. The eleven girls are chosen to be Honor Niners because of their school spirit during the preceding three years. This year's Honor Niners have proven they have Southwest spirit.

However, it seems evident that it was an international gesture of goodwill. Ortega can especially afford such a gesture because it brings up on embarrassing subject fur the United Stales again. The Hasenfus affair was in the internation news often as proof of American improper action, even though !lio U.S. did iwit (ns far as we know) order the action. While neither President Reagan, nor the CIA official condoned American mercenaries in Nicaragua, they both, noneI he loss, seem to approve of these mercenaries' octions in principle. The government has supported the rights of tlicsc mercenaries and has given extensive covert aid to the Contras. Nicaragua used both Hn80fifu8r nationolity and the fact that he was once in the U.S. Marion Corps on. proof of direct U.S. involvement in the Nicaraguan rebel war.

SUMMIT MEETING FAILED The Reykjavik preparatory summit meeting (October 1986) might have been a success for both the United States and the Soviet Union, if it wasn't for President Reagon's stubbornness on the Strategic Defense Initiative, commonly called Star Wars. The Soviet Union's objective won effectively to kill off the S.D.I. program, but Reagan would not yield to their proposals. It is unfortunate that Reagan allowed the pre summit to fail because of the differences he hod with Gorbachev. The Soviets were offering drastic cutbacks on inter- mediate range nuclear forces, and after 10 years, testing would have been banned. Reagan suggested the total elimination of ballintlc mianles during the next decade. The sup- posedly final summit meeting ran long by more than an hour and a half. Soon after the meeting a Soviet official DANILOFF JAILED BY KGB Nicholas Daniloff was captured and in riaoncd by the KG8 in Moscow on August 30, 1986. Nick Daniloff ho l been the Moscow correspondent for U5 News end World Report for five yenro. On the day of his arrest, Daniloff met Misha, a friend of four years from the city of Frunze, In the Lenin Mills of Moscow. Misha gave him a package, supposedly containing newspaper clippings from Frunze, in exchange for 6ome Stephen King novels. Moments after the exchange, a van pulled up to Mr. Daniloff and six men jumped out, pinned him down, handcuffed him, and shoved him in the van. The men, KGB agents, took Daniloff to Lefortovo Prison. The next few weeks would be filled with international rhetoric and threats, promises and lies; and an American citizen under Soviet guard. The framing of Daniloff was n hoctily arranged affair. While Ms a sealed package did contoin maps labeled secret , neither the impor- 9aid, Now President Reagan con go down in history as a president of peace. However, in the next unsched- uled meeting, the talk9 fell apart. Both Gorbachev and Reagan stuck adamantly to their previous positions on Star Wars. A report issued by the 13 member Defense Policy Panel, of the House Armed Services Committee, in February 1987, said that Reagan and Gorbachev nearly agreed on a Soviet proposal to eliminate all nuclear weapons in 10 years, but failed, because the two leaders differed. For the Europeans the pre summit meeting was strictly a super power party. The principal subject war� European dofense: the weapons under discussion are deployed in Britain, West Germany, Italy, and Belgium). The human beings whose lives are at stake ore residents of Europe. Both superpowers must now face the chal- lenge and the opportunity of winning over European hearts and minds. Neither will get very far as long as both continue to negotiate Europe’s fate over European heads.______________ lance of I he maps (maps of Russia), nor Daniloff's knowledge of the contents, was ever proven. In fact, tl e men who seized Daniloff wcie shocked to realize the man they had been ordered to grab was on American journalist. There was, of course, a very good reason for this reckless behavior from the KGB. In America, a Russian espionage aqent named Ccnnndiy Zakharov had been captured. The USSR wished the immediate return of their agent before tin? Cl A would have a chance to give an unrestrained interrogation. Daniloff was taken and framed to serve as a prisoner for trade. Since the affair would doubtless cause strong public opinion, the trade would be sped up and the Russian agent would be in the lime- light enough to restrain the CIA. The first official reaction from the Reagan administration was that they would not trade a hostage for a spy. After negotiation, however, that is exactly whot occured. First, Gennadiy Zakharov was released to the Russian Embassy, then Daniloffs release wot; ar ranged. After spending thirteen days with twice daily interrogation, informant cell mates, and assorted traps to make him appear to be a real spy, Daniloff was released on September 12. He went to the American Embassy in Moscow and stayed there until September 30, exactly one month after it all began, when he was finally allowed a travel permit to exit the country. The travel permit was held up while the Russian government decided whether or not to put Daniloff on trial. Very few accused in a Russian court are acquitted. If he had stood trial, he would have been found guilty and would never have been able to return tu Russia again, just as we wouldn't allow the convicted spy Zakharov back in our country. While Daniloff dislikes the Soviet government, Russia is his primary study; he has worked there the post five years, and he also has many friends who live there, so he would like to return one day in the future. Daniloff believes that the US and the USSR need to get to know each other better both on a personal level and an international level. There is too much at stoke for us not to. SEIB RELEASED Gerald Guilt, along with V� oilier international correspondents, went tu Iran during I hr Innt week of January nt Iran's invitation. Iran had achieved a recent victory in their war with Iraq, su they collected reporters lo tour the wai zone where Iranian fnrccs were doing well. Ihe reporters did not have cutnpiele freedom ol movement, but rather were given a carefully guided tour to only the places where the I ranjarm wanted them lo go. While the motives of the Iranians seemed pretty obvious, it was generally considered a step up from no world coverage at all. That was until Cerald Seib was arrested fur espionage and put in jail. HernId Seib is a foreign correspon- dfuil for tlic Wall Street Journal and is a native of Hoys, Kansas. He was arrested on February first and accused of spying for Israel. No evidence was ever produced lo h;ick up I hi charge against Soil). lie was put in prison while I lie government conducted a judicial prnhe into his rnr.c winch lasted five days. Aflei Ihr prnlio, he was released, again with no explanation. The Seib family in Kansas City and Hays, Kansas, and his wife in Cairo, Egypt (she is also a forieqn correspondent) were relieved lo lieor of his release. He and his wifo are both staying in their often dangerous profession, however, Cerald Seib will not return to Iran. He has been banned from the country by the government. Exactly why Seib was imprisoned has caused much speculation. It is widely believed that his Israeli sounding name was I he only reason that he specifically was ettnryed. Another reason an arrest was made may have lo do with tin? power struggle among faction:; in the Iranian govcrnincnl . Ilia cause represents a victory for the faction that prevailed. Ibis infight- ing is being caused by the instability of the Ayntolla Ruholla Khomeini's health. He is now 86 years old. When I he religious leader dies, there will be a scrambling for power between religious extremists and romparntively moderate groups. Ibis struggle will probably lend lo even more illegal and irratio behavior. TCWEC IVI % II Illi After months of srnmlal mul, I In? lower Comini on ion I molly Ikmjoii Id give some concrete findings on exactly wtiat happened in the Iron orms deni. On febuary 26, 1987 the commission officially gave its findings. It in ironic that the commission hod been chosen by Reagan to find out wtiat changes would be necccnnnry in the National Security Council. Roog:m hand picked John Tower, a Texas Republican, as a staunch party member who would make a realistic report, without letting everyone know just turn awful this realistic report would bo. Three months later to the day, ttie report was much larger and more damaging than the Preaident dreamed possible. The report was not very kind. first of all, great trout)le has bent gone through to protect tho highest officials from being connected with the arms sales plan. President Ronnld Rengnn ciaimed he could not remember whether he approved Lite plan before or after it had already been carried out. lie also claimed In have no knowledge of 1 lie specifies of llm deal. The Tower Commission, using evidence obtained through testimony and access to tlie computer files of White Mouse memos, found otherwise. Apparently, the President was fre- quently briefed on everything that was going on. That doesn't necessarily mean he knew wtiat was going on. His attitude, according to testimony, and his memo responses (when he responded at all) conveyed a feeling that he cared little about the exact details of the deal. In actual fact, the plan originally was to try to open friendly relations with a moderate Iranian faction and give them an nrlvanl ;kjr over the more radical groups. Unfortunately it quickly deteriorated into a orms-for-hostages deal. The President claims he did not realize that it had so deteriorated. The official White House story is that his aides misinterpreted his great concern for the American hostages in Lebenon. The commission found that if he listened in on the briefing sessions, and if he thought about what he was being tnlrl, Reagan would have known. Just exactly to what detailed extent the President was informed nhout such things as I he illegal funding of I he Nicaraguan Coni rati will� I lie profits from the Iron orms sale may never be known, since It. Col. Oliver North is known to have destroyed many documents implicating his superiors, so that he could toke all the blame ond cut the White House losses for the good of his government and country. Unfortunately, wtuit lie sow ns bent for his country included scimming funds for illegal military aid in an illegal manner to support a questionable cause, while hiding all of this from Congress and the American people. The area where the Tower report had the most to say was in how the President ran his staff. They found that the President's managing style consisted largely of telling his staff I lie general policy lie wanted to be followed, amd lolling them work out the details. The commission believed there was latitude in the system for nuch a 6tyln. Reagan's fatal flaw wan his lack of follow up. Putting ao much responsibility in the hands of others, it then Ijcromen the President 'a impound� i 1 il y to make irfmoltilcly mire that the results are what was intend- ed. Reagan did not even try to do this. Realizing the lack of a check and balance system, bin sides should have made a special effort to inform tlie President. Instead meetings were brief, and meetings of all ttie involved parties were few ond far between. The President had the opportunity to discover what was hoppening, but no one made sure tie actually did. It i9 possible he did know. In winch case this system was used to keep the President's hands clean of the illegal activity. Ullicrwicc tlie National Security Council woe making foreign policy without anyone checking their work. One clue that the President may hove been jqnorant of exactly how tlie plan was carried out occured on January 17, 1906. Reagan gave permission to tlie CIA to carry out the sale, instructing that Congress be kept in the dark. This was logical, since it is the CIA who is supposed to carry nut such cnverl plana. However it wac tlie NSC, a body set up merely to provide the President with the informal ion on which to base dori aim in, that ran I lie deal. Jt« Coney, limn CIA director realized (lie problem and tried to solve it. He was stonewalled. He then gave up, merely distancing himneif from the operation. Vice President Rush did the same. If either had pressed tlie point, many mistakes might have been averted, former NSC chief Robert Mcfarland quit and then followed I lie Vice Presidents lead of silence. Guilt feelings from not solving the gross bureaucratic and policy errors being made then led McFarland to attempt suicide. After this, he tried to make tlie best fix possible by testifying to the lower Commission many facts that otherwise would have remained hidden. The final veridet of the commisssion was that Donald Reagan, Chief of Staff failed to une I tic unusually great power this administration gave his office to make an orderly process be observed. Poindexter, the NSC chief after McTnrlnnd, failed in not storing tlie diversion of funds to the Contras. The board also concluded that I lie President should have paid much greater at I nil inn In tin� product of tiis aides labor, as well as the process through which the plan went. As President he should have known at least tlie basic matters such as where the money came from ond where it went. Overall gross ncglignore and lack of a checked system caused a very few appointed officials to hove an unacceptable amount of control over foreign policy. As for the illegal funding of the Contras, not much is known for sure yet. However there is enough evidence to be sure that there were several operations being run from the White House other ttian the Iran «leal that purchased arms for the Contra3. II mny be years before the truth comes out. Meanwhile we can only hope Hie President will make sure he is running the country, and within the view of the people and Congress.

Israeli diplomat David Kimche told Robert Mcrarlane (then Security Council Advisor) that moderate elements Iran wanted to release hostages in return for on arms deni with the U.S.. Mcfnrlnne relayed Ihr message to Reagan. The first plane load of American made weapons is sent tn Iron from Israel. According In tlio testimony ol Robert Mcrarlane, the shipment was with prior Presidential approval. Chief nf SI off, Donald Regar� , I old tl� e press I hot the President didn't give approval to the plan until after it occured. The President himself has given both versions, and now claims not to remember. The Revcrand Benjamin Weir, and American hostage, is released from captivity in Lebanon. Israel sends another arms package to Iron (upon our request), but the weapoms were returned because they were obsolete. The CIA is given authorization to participate in arms soles by Reagan, ordering it kept secret from Congress. This order woo of little vnlue, since it was the NSC which carried mil ll� o deals. The first direct shipment of weapons leaves from Texas. Oliver North and Robert Mcrarlane fly to Tehran, Iran, with yet another shipment of arms, expecting hostages to be freed in return. None are. An additional shipment is mode on Independence Day with results: October 26, 1906 October, 1903 —----------------- January-March, 1984 November 1906 October, 1984 July, 1905 November 4, 1906 September, 1905 November 13, 1906 September 14, 1905 November 22, 1906 November, 1985 January 17, 1986 November 26, 1906 May 20, 1906 January 20 and 24, 1987 July 4, 1906 febuory 26, 1907 July 26, 1986 The Inst shipment is made.

WORLD CRISES REVIEWED Officially, by White House 8 tori- can't be a springboard for an attack going on since 1980, and it ir. th dards, there are three major ongoing crises in the world today. Ihose arc especially important for background in world events today, since they have recently been brought together to some extent in tl� e I ran-Conl rn arms deal. The first crisis is Afghanistan. It has been largely forgotten since the 1980 Olympics, which were boycotted by the U.S. due to the Russian invasion of this small Mid-Eastern country. While Afghan rebels are st ill fighting today, they are fighting a losing battle. The battle cost Russia very much; but the Russian motive is very strong. If it can subsequently take over Iron or Iraq, Russia will have a port on the Persian Gulf and the super power will be able to control the largest source of oil in the world. The effect of Divio would put Japan and much of Europe at the mercy of tin? Russians. America could survive on home produced and Western hemisphere oil. However, we would 'certainly try to save our allies in Europe, so all would be very short. For this reason, Saudi Arabia and America are suppor- t ing the rebels with some funds and weapons. While Afghanistan is probably lost to Russia, if holding on a Persian Gulf country. Incident- ly, llu n foremen I i of ted American and Arab ion funds nro kept in I he same Swiss account as Llic Iron arms deni profits which were made available to I lie Conirnn. I he next crinis area in Nicaragua, this nation is of paticular. interest to the U.S. since it is practicolly on our doorstep. Now the country is becoming closely allied with Russia. To see Communism, which in this case is totalitarianism, spread from Cuba to Nicaragua is an alarming trend that the current administration is very eager to stop. Illegal funding activiies, however, have severely crippled Congress support for the contras who are trying lo overthrow the Communist government. It is, after all, against federal Inw lo deliberately at tempi to overthrow another government without declaring war. Also the Contra's most respected leader, Arium Cru , tins left I he Contra movement.. United Slates support officially is only food and clothing.

EDITORIAL: WEOVIIIEI OVVJ The Iran scandle is a black mark on responsibility is to the President and and agreed with it. It would actuatl the Presidency. This isn't because the President looks bad breaking the policy he preached to Europe. It would hardly be the first time a President did a political about-face. The scary part is the doubt it puts upon how much the public controls who the ruler of our country is. Reagan sets national policy, and lie can legally circumvent many rules and processes to get done what lie sees fit for the country's good. Ihemfore, when this power is lx? ing used by appointed officials unchecked, the public has cause to worry. The President can be held account- able. Even a lame duck President has a responsibility to uphold the standing of his political party. He was voted in by the people, and so naturally should feel that he works for them. Appointed officials have no such ties. They are hired, much like a restaurant manager. Their immediate their post. In this affair, many people were allowed to work outside the knowledge of Congress, and hence the knowledge of the public. This is a poor precedent which can lead to too much power in the hands of someone not properly controlled. In such cases the President is the only elected official in control. In the Iran scandle, Reagan had Inst control of his aides. Tliey worked independently of ony control what soever, excepting their own conscience. Rut this incident proves all too well that even good intentions are not enough. The good intentions of Oliver North have set back Uic solving of Ilio I error ism problem as much as a decade. Count- less live ; and governments will be affected or destroyed due to this administration's actions. The one control that Could have stopped this appeared to he asleep at the switch. Perhaps Reagan knew all that ocrured be better if that were so, than li start letting a few hired men run Itx country. Of course this would meai that the President has been lyir fluently for years. Neither is pleasant situation, but when it is thi President that is administering ttw policy, we can respond. The voter ran not reeled him. They can rhooni lo not elect those? who follow hi policies. They Van tell tliei Congressman lo work nqainst crrtni policies. I Imre is no rtuch hold on n appointed official. In tl c future tli people must be very careful to knp| what people in the Presidentia admininI rat ion are actually making th« decisions and carrying them out. I the President himself becomes no mon than a public relations officer listening lo his speeches will tel one little about the actual policy o! the nation.

Then, as it become identified ns occuring almost exclusively in homosexual men and frequent drug abusers, it become the subject of jokes and claims that the difteone was God's punishment for their evil deeds . Well, now, AIDS is none of these. It is a disease that is expanding through the population at an alarming rate. As of yet, scientists have no cure and all the victims of AIDS have died or are dying. By October, 1986, 23,000 patients had been diagnosed as having AIDS in the United States. If the disease continues at its present rate, a quarter of a million Americans could join these ranks within the decade. However, most people with the AIDS virus are not (as of yet) affected by the diseose at all. One million to one and a half million people ore infected in the U.S., yet 90S of these have no symptoms whatsoever, excepting the presence of antibodies for the virus. Of these, 20 to 30 percent are expected to eventually get full blown AIDS. All are carriers. Nine percent of the infected population ho3 ARC (AIDS Related Complex). These victims suffer from many minor symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and weight loss. The ARC victims worst, and often realized, fear is actually getting full blown AIDS. This unfortunate one percent of the infected people have symptoms including pneumonia, cancer, slight br8in damage, and at least right now, invariably deothj usually within a year of getting a full blown case. These figures have caused near hysteria in countries with first cases, many in high risk groups, and anyone who ha9 had any contact with a victim. This fear of instant con- tamination, however, is unfounded. Many governments (not including our own) are launching high budget ad campaigns to bring accurate and frank information to the public. In the United States, private and philan- thropic organizations are picking up the slack, as much as they ore allowed. One of the most important things to understand is that AIDS can only be transmitted by 8n exchange of blood. This can result from a blood transfusion (now unlikely thanks to a new blood test), unsterile hypodermic needles (usually used in illegal drug use) or during sexual intercourse. Contrary to what many believe, the disease can be contracted from hetrosexual activity alone. Cor- respondingly, the number of hetero- sexual cases is growing at an enormous rate. In striking contrast, the rate of new cases among homosexuals is dropping rapidly due to an information nnd prevention campaign that recently occurred within their population. This demonstration of the power of prevention should be a lesson to us all if we don't want to have the worst epidemic since the bubonic plaugue. The United States and Western Europe, however, are hardly the only sufferers from AIDS. The worst situation in the world is in central Africa. While figures are still very imprecise, hundreds of thousands of deaths may be due to the disease. Right now, 89 many as two million are succumbing to full blown AIDS. Equal numbers of males end females have the disease, thus showing no restriction at all to the expected risk groups. If those with disease only represent one percent of those infected as in the U.S., nearly all of Africa must be infected. This, of course, is little mure than idle speculation, but worth thinking about. In a tragic bit of irony, a possible cause for the disease's incredible spread. A recent and extremely thorough innoculation program against diseases like malaria nnd diptherin may have been using unsterile needles. forgetting to sterilize the needles, or not doing a thorough enough job of sterilization, may have had disasterous results. These unsterile needles being used to spread immunity to the populatiPn may also have spread this most deadly disease. Hie mosl publicized nnd controver- sial pari of llie AIDS problem is the system of prevention. in order lo dincuns llie prevention process, il is necessary to discuss in precise detail the taboo subjects of shootinq up drugs nnd sexual intercourse. Ibis wan ironically brought to I tie put) lie when I.Im st might - laced governmental officiots were forced by the situation lo go out and buy condoms. It just on happens Mini Mil!) particular prophy- lactic is the best way tri prevent the sexual transmission of AIDS. Hie use of sterile needles only (or none at all), of course, will prevent AIDS Iranumissinn among in!ravnnous drug users. Meanwhile, the scientists are still trying to figure out the cause of the disease and how to stop it. The cause of the disease is whot is called a retrovirus . It is a virus that reproduces by actually entering the nucleus and DNA of a human cell and forcing the cell to make several copies of the virus, killing the cell before it reproduces. The invading virus also can lay dormant in the cell and wait until the invaded cell has reproduced many times. When the virus finally attacks, all of the new cells will be overcome. In the case of AIDS, the cells attacked are the white blood cells, which arc the key part of the body's immune system. When these cells are destroyed, so is the immune system. The scientists are still looking for a way to stop the virus. Until then, we can only try to limit the- disease’s spread. The victims can only wait and hope. $7 DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL Every since the 1900 landslide victory, the United Stales Senate has been strictly Republican ownership. That ell changed last election. The Democrats made up the difference, and gained a ten sent lead in the elec- tion. While a 55 to 45 margin might not seem world shaking, one must consider that the party with the majority chooses all the committee leaders. The party that controls the committees controls what bills the Senate even looks at, and can either recommend or destroy a bill as it sees fit. Hence that party has a major amount of control over the decisions of the Senate. Under that light, the new leadership means much more than a slight vote advantage in the Senate. The Demo- crats also control the House of Representatives, with similar impli- cations. This total control of the legislature means that with a few Republican voter. in both Houses, Congress can have the ( ( majority neccessary in each House to override any Presidential veto. This gives the Democrats, with the aid of the moderate Republicans in Congress, the ability to bypass Ronald Reagan in any bill that Congress passes. They have already displayed, quite flagrantly, their power to do this. The perfect example was the Cleon Water Act in early Febuary. Reagan S8id that the weight of the entire budget rested on that bill's failure. If it passed, he claimed, it would make a joke of balancing the budget. The Congress (with a notable amount of public support) overwhelmingly voted to bypass the President's veto to - make the Dill into law. We will now see how Robert Byrd (the new Majority Leader in the Senate) uses the considerable power intrusted to him. One other possible effect of the Senate takeover could appear in the 1988 Presidential election. One of the most likely Republican candidates to appear in the November elction is Kansas Senator Robert Dole (former Majority Leader, now Minority Leader). This change in his position atwl power could reduce his ability to appear in the public eye as often, or to be at the lend of mo jor Congressional decisions. Tho advantage of claiming Senate victories now goes to the Democrats. Of course if they make mistakes, the Democrats will be forced to take responsibility for that as well. More important, however, is the enormous majority of votes for Democrats lost November. If this is not just one isolated event, then the change of American heart in this election could decide the next Presidential election. This, however, is very speculative, so we can merely wait and see. I STRATA EITT CRAVED On November 4, llie Kansas City Public Libraries again placed a levy on the ballot.. This time the voters approved an IB cent property tax increase for a total of 39 cents per UlOO valuation. This increase will allow the Kansas City Public Library to open four full service branches by the spring of 19B8, computerize thr entire card catalog, purchase over 100,000 books over the next two years, and stabilize the budget for the next seven to ten years. Hmj computerized catalog system has already been extablished. Southwest was the first library to make the on- line card catalogue, which is called Kacey, available to the public. While the public will benefit from this improved library system, South- west will also benifit from the addition of our own resource center. Students will no longer have to 3hnro space with the public; teachers will lie able to more effectively use I hr resource renter, and hopefully, resource materini will ho ordered will� specific classes in mind. I 4 SI WINS Against the tide of Republican Senate defeats, former governor Christopher Bond was ejected Missouii Senator. lie fills I lie seal oT retiring Democrat Thomas Emjlolon. His election over candidate Harriett Woods marks on era of Republican control in Missouri. Traditionally n Democrat state, Republicans now hold both Senate seats and the Governor's office. The campaign was a heated one, with claims of dirty advertising on both - sides. The ad controversy was at its highest as Harriett Woods fired her advertising manager; a move that upset many of her party's leaders. The campaign centered on the farm problem and the individuals' ability to do an effective job in Congress. Rond accused Woods of being ignorant of the complexities of the issues and having a weak stance on national defense, j Woods cl aimed Rond would nut represent the interests of the voters and that he avoided making tough decisions. Voters polled at the end of the campaign stated that Kit Bond's campaign was dirtier than Har- riett's, but regardless of that fact, or even partially because of it, Bond was the victor. The largest problem for the Woods campaign may have begun four years ago when site lost the Senate campaign to Jack Danforth. Apparently, she alienated some of the Missouri Democrat leaders then. Not being able to patch up their differences this time around cost her much of the support from these leaders vital to getting out her message and the vote. In stark contrast, Bond's campaign ran like a well oiled machine. He did an excellent job getting out the vote despite the drizzly day. This was illustrated by the relatively high voter turn out in areas favorable to Kit Bond, as opposed to comparabley low turn out in the urban areas where Harriett Woods had much of her support. This voting pattern, coupled with Bond's efficient campaign, led him to a Republican victory. 8« ELECTION ’86 MISSOURI U.S. SLNAIL x Cluir.lophcr KltM Bond(R) Marriott WikkIg(D) SI AIL AUDI Kill x Mnrqrnt Kclly(R) Travis Morrison(l)) PARI MU I MAI WAGERING Should the county permit pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing? x YES NO JACKSON COUNTY executive x Bi11 Woris(O) Fred Dice(R) ILGISI AIDRE First District at Largo x John C:unrn(D) ft mj� i wised Second District at Large x Carol Coe(D) David Buie(R) Third District at Large x Fred Arbonas(D) W.

It is n very liicj (list riel, so the problems arc big. Worst of all, little has been done about them for the Inst fifteen years. In the fall of 19B4, the Kansas City School District and the State of Missouri were convicted of breaking the Constitution of Ihc United States of America due to poor educnt ion and n metropolian area segregation. I his time something really had to be done... by court order. The school district submilled a consolidation plan in the spring of '83. The plan basically was to merge with all of the small school districts surrounding the Kansas City area such as Center and Raytown. Judge Clark, however, rejected the plan, claiming that it was unfeasible. The judge then ordered I In? district to come tip with a magnet school plan instead. True to the size of the task, the district presented a plan as large r«n or larger than any other in 11«� country. The district submitted its first magnet program, implementnlion of which began in 1906. fins plan was a mini magnet plan including the Southwest, Sweeney and Volker cliifitor and the Lincoln college preparatory cluster. As of thin school year, we were officially a magnet school. Unknown to most, this mini plan is already a success. A two thousand person waiting waiting list okmitted a almost 100 students from outlying districts into the schools. After this plan was submitted, the district asked for snow? more I ime to make up a larger plan. The second magnet plan proposed liy the district was a plan requiring $192 million, taking six years and invol- ving 42 schools and 20,000 lo 23,000 students. Since a mandatory desegre- gation was not pc?rmitted, the schools must draw in white students with quality alone; something the Kansas City schools have been having a hard time convincing anyone they hod. Therefore, a massive plan was nrrres- sary. Some people are not ready for such drastic changes. It will mean 11 AN TC completely abandoning the neighborhood school system. An enormous busing program with added staff to see that it ran smoothly (to date it has) will need to be added. Whole schools will be torn down and rebuilt. Even members of the board (a minority: two to seven, nr one lo eight) are suggesting Hint the plan should be done half-way, with fewer schools involved to a lesser extent. The courts are dctiiniKlinq a tungncl , and llte situation dimmiids a major effort, so that option does not exist. Because of the court rulings, this plan has to be implemented. However, problems remain to tie solved. Tlic biggest problem is funding. When all the price tags ore added up: including new teachers, new equipment, new management staff, and new and or improved buildings, it will cost at least $500 million. A better estimate is twice that. Or more, the original plan cnlcd for about two thirds being paid by the state and the rest by Kansas City. This is being taken to the Supreme Court, by llm stale. Even it ll o bill stays ns it is, Kansan City will have a massive bill at its door. !o expect anything else after fifteen years of failing levy hills would be destructive and foolish. The other problem with the plan is its actual implementation. There are a number of concerns about a magnet system so large and specialized. The idea, of course, is to let teachers teach the courses they want to teach, to students pho are inlereslcd in what I hey are learning. One concern is overemphasis on the specialty classes SAVE devolod lo each magnet school's the . I tic basics ore already I on weak H. our schools. Sue ful3on, Kansas City School Board member, said iri on interview ttiat the basics will not only lie preserved, tail enhanced. In n history course at the moth and science magnet, for instance, all the regular course work Tor the class would be taught, plus some science related history. Acording to Mrs. fulson, there also will be consideration for the plan's other major problem: overspecializotion. A bright kid in the ninth grade is interested in everything. He doesn't know what he wants to be yet and may not even know what interests him. Some allowance needs to be made for a student's need to explore many new avenues. Not just mnlh and science at Southwest, language at Soul beast, or law at Van Horn. The board says there will be a band and football team (and newspaper?) at every school, but the best band will be at the performing arts magnet, and the only calculus course will he at the math and science timepint. Ilf course if I his some kid wauls to lake German, lie'll probably have to go to Southeast. The teactiers con tench wtmrc they want. They wilt want to leach at I Ik� school of I heir specialty. Tliereforc Southwest will lose its front running language program, and perhaps its extraordinary English program. Those will be replaced by average classes in these areas (with di ferent teachers most likely) and a stronq math and science curriculum (exactly the courses we are now webk in). Many problems are bound to arise as such drastic changes takes place. The changes are neccesnary, Iml wo must !«� careful as we go along mil In deslroy more than nercessary. We also muni look for design errors as we build and correct them swiftly and effectively so that the completed project is as ideal as possible. It will not be easy and iwit everybody will bo happy. The estimated time of implementation is six years. Expect ten years before major problems ore worked out. Expect a Jot of money spent and (unfortun- ately) some will he wasted. Ibis is the price of neglect and our one chance to correct it. 90 PECTINS EGGGET CUT lhc Kansas City Srhonl Hoard began jin me� ! 11 cvhiI Till r.chnnl year in yean; by firing the super int cndonl.. On August 8, 1986, t lie board announced I tini it was buying I hi' coni carl of Or. Claude I. Perk inti for $190,000. Hi was the third super if it cndcnl in four years lo resign. All three contracts had lo l e hnuijhl oul ot similar rales. We now have had six super intondento in Hie loot decade. Why so many? And why is I he cost no high? A week before the resignation, lhc board scheduled on evahint ion of Perkins. Perkins knew Ilia! ll� o majority vole wart gninq In give him a poor evalual ton, Hum damaging his record. Perkins dec i tied In offer I lie him I’d hir. renignal inn and hit; contract for $2111,0(111. lhc hoard, mi a 7 In 2 vole, counter offered $195,000. Perkins accepted. Ihe official reason he war; allowed lo resign (fired) wan I ha! he wan net incj slowly on Ihe desegreqat ion plan. Out Hie reasoning won! deeper than Hint. Many of Ihe board members found him difficult lo work with. They said he was abrasive and disrespect- ful. I here seemed In lw disagreement alinid wlm waj; I In Incut. Me didn't lake orders in wallers of day lo day affairs, under Hu impress inn that the hoard should slick lo fxilicy making, fur which il was elected. One hoard member says thal it came down lo pet I y pol i Iics. We ran only hope that il win Ihe rigid decision, since il watt a very expensive one. Wo ran also hope Hint when a new superintendent is chost n lo replace Jasper Harris, Hie inierim man, the decision will be more well thought oul and fruitful. JCITliWEST GETS AN A’ This year Southwest began the year with a brand new administrat inn, a new system of grading and new grade periods. While the new system of grading (A,B,C,D,f instead of E,S,M,I,F) may mil seem ton world shaking, for once Hie world will know that an E is not come tiling between a D and an f. This, however, is but a symptom of lhc many changer; around Soul hwrsl. flic new grade period lengths Imve a much greater effect, and are intended, like Hie grading system, lo slandar- dize Southwest (and the Kansas City School District) to be more compatible with the rest of I fie world. Ihe new periods are divided into quartern, two per semester. lhc new periods make each period count for more, with n longer time between grade reports. Ihis way, a student can't blow off the first grade period and expect lo earn a decent grade Ihe second two. It is also harder lo worry about grades only neor I lie end of the period, since nine weeks of work in harder In calch up on Hum six. Hie ncl reiuill (al least il is hoped) will he a more consistent concern from the si udent. lhc roost import aid change is the change in I lie admininl rat ion All three of Ihe lop positions have changed. Ihe new adminislrnlnrs arc: Mrs. Qarbara Guinn, Principal; Mr. Richard Gooden, Assist on! Principal; and Mr. Edgar Van Fleet, Assistant Principal. Also joining Ihe slaff was Evelyn Belser, Coordinator of Instruction. Ihese people were brought in largely lo make sure I hat in Ihe future I lie tichoo! is run smoothly and by the book. I hey also may have been placed lie re in prepara- tion for Hie oilier changes the school board has in mind for Hie district. As well as a strong, positive altitude, Hie now alaff is bringing order lo such things ns class sclieduling and school finances, lei us hope dial Ihe new adminisl ral ion will l c very successful over Hie years and enjoy a long, Iteallhy lerro such as lhc school's first three principals. LEVY EAILEE This year was on especially poor year for school financing. Three times within ten months the school! district put one nr more levy hills before Ihe people of Kansas !!i:y. All failed. Why did the schools keen trying in the light of such poor ouecons? I lie re lias not been a levy passed since 1969. Every year since then the need has grown, hence the size of the requested levies got progressively larger, therefore harder Lo pass. What is worse this lack of funding led o u band-aid approach lo many problem. This meant Hint problems won't really solved, lending lo confusion and a bad rcpulnl ion for incompetece and poor solid ion:.. Ibis bad reputation scared away supporters and many good students. This same reputation made the district a dumping 'ground for outer dial riels' and private schools' rouquos and expo led students. Well finally an nttempt is being made lo stop Hie downward spiral. Ilie bills I tail came before Hu people in February, August, and November of 1906 were blocks of bills. The first in Ihe block was supposed to pay for tlw raising of teacher and staff salaries. Ihe other was for capital and educational improvements in the school. In March, 1907, the same I wo hills are running again, hut the last hill is being broken up Inlo I wn bills: one for eapitnl improve- ments and one to pay for the educa- tional improvements requiured in the maqnet plan. These new bills, if all passed, will rosl a $30,000 home owner $4.68 a month. Hie owner of a $ 0,000 home will pay $10.90 a month more in tax. A rattier subs!nnl ini hike, fieri taps, hill such is Hie price nf a decade and a half of ignoring Hu schools. If this set of bills doesn't t' pass, Ihe district will be forced (with help f• om Hu courts) to al tempi to make the levies law without a public vole. It in Ihe delema of a choice between the democratic process Hint built this country and Hie welfare of our children A conflicl .shouldn't exist. 91 CHANGING Cl THE GLARE CHIEFS GET NEW CHIEF I hr 7906 Kunsssi (lily Chi ft to were an exciting team if you watched the defensive and specialty units.

Led by Nft All Star Oeron Clierry, the defensive unit picked off paoses, sacked quarterbacks, punxncllrd running harks who tried In run around Hiem, and in general made life miserable for the offenses around the league, while the offense sputtered and faltered under the direct leadership of hood conch Jolm Mackovic who seemed lo lx? unable CANCER SLOWS HOWSER following mi I lie lice Is of a championship season, tlie K.C. Royals had reason to hope for much from tticir team. Bui llr hofx s and dreams of I lx� loyal fans were to be drowned in t lie waterfall at Royals' stadium. The team was plagued with injuries to key players and handicapped by a lack of depth in almost every position. One of the few bright spol n in Ltic season was tlie triumphant come back of Dennis Leonard after extensive rehabilitation following a shattered knee. By the time of tlx All-Star COMETS COME ALIVE Hie Comets l cqr� n I lie year rattier slowly. Kansas Lily's indoor soccer team couldn't slay above live hundred during the early port of the season.

WINTER WEATHER Ah, yes, it whs Ihnt time of year fox snowmen end snowball fights, and the soft snow enveloping the beauti- ful, bright night in silence. Mint could be more beautiful than the soft crunch underfoot as your boot strikes the cold, wet mud. Wait! Hud! Where was the snow? Where was the cold weather? And more importantly, dared we ask, lest we get them back?! Yes, my friends, I was as confused as you were by weather reports of: Warm and sunny tomorrow, with a high of sixty degrees; with a forty percent chance of snow by morning. Perhaps it's a sign of the times. We've been mixed up for so long that perhaps we've become contagious and Nature has picked up the virus. But there had to be n belter reason for sixties in January! After the cool, moderate summer, everyone expected Kansas City to become an icebox. Then again, to quote a phrase, Who said you can't have it all? Maybe, just maybe, the temperature is leveling out to a stable sixty eight degrees. But wo didn't hold our breath. It was simple; we took our bikes out of mothballs, broke out the suntan lotion and put away our heavy coats and skis for another day: sny late June. LIERARy CHECKED CHT The Southwest Branch opened May 20, 1927 with 6,000 volume:� . Since thru it tins added runny volumes and oilier services. I fie library has advanced along with society and is now n computerized business like most ottiers around today. The Branch lias noy forgotten its original purpose of providing good, entertaining and infonaat ivc? rending met m ini for Mm? public. As a result of the Kansas City School Board's attempt to regain its AAA rating, all of the puli lie librar- ies were moved out of the high schools. This, of course, included the Southwest branch which was moved In I tic interim Jocnt ion of 7526 Wumalt Road in November, in two years, when the revenue from the tax levy begins to appear , the Southwest brntx'h hopes to begin building n full service library in I lie area between 71:� t slreel aiut 79th street, Wnrnnl t and llntmes. The proposed branch will have an area of 15 thousand square li«ly which is nearly the size of the Plaza I ibrary Ihe public library was replaced with the Southwest Resource Center, run by Mrs. Gloria Winston and Mr. Steve Lesan. These two have been working in the room 323 for the whole of the 1985-1906 school year putting together this addition to the school. The center was moved into its new quarters in January. It may cause an incon- venience In the? Southwest students who arc without a library for almost a year but the new resource center is mere suited to the needs nT the students at Southwest. Now that the library levy tins passed, the libraries need only to clarify their leadership. Right now tfic libraries arc run by a committee of tlie School Board. There is very little friction between t lie school board and I tie library admimst rat ion. Operation, however, would be much more simple if there was n sepernte Kansas City Public Library Board. 24 ENTERTAINMENT MOVIES This was a good year for movie goers.

BOB SEGER During what looked like nn overage, overweight Inkers conven- tion, Bob Seger and his Silver Bullet Band made a two night apperarance ot Kemper Arena. Middle aged rockers lost all the maturity and dignity they once possessed, and danced in drunken rowdiness to all their old favorites from the Dark Ages. Jeans, leather, and beards were all in vogue—a tasteless nightmare of uninspired nostalgia trips. They knew what they liked, and everyone who attended had a great time—with all the smuggled in liquor (despite the search each patron endured before entering) who could help it. After numerous rounds of curtain calls for Segcr and his hand, the audience rushed but and roared off into ttre night to parly some more before the doylight hours hit and it was time to crawl hack under llreir rocks.

HCMCC4BILIA ■ AlTCGC iPHS W ■ I c ?■ Mmi ACTIVITIES HCA4ECCMING Af� October 3rd rolled around, floats were finished, flowers were ordered, and outfits were bought. Around the school you could feel the tension building as Homecoming weekend drew near. The events started on Triday as Steve Connaghon, Mike Jones, Mike Silvey, Reggie Thomas, Oarroyce Thornton, and Paul Williams were escorted onto the stage and introduced as the 1986-87 Homecoming King Candidates. Our 1986-87 Homecoming Queen Candidates: Shewan Bowman, Carolyn Gettino, Glynis McGautha, Jody Moorman, and Kim Trusty were escorted onto the stage. The students not only got to see the Homecoming Candidates, but were entertained by Honer-Nine, Pom Pon, the Cheerleaders, and Band. Everyone hoped that the rest of the weekend would go as well as the assembly, but Mother Nature had other plans for us. While the bond finished the final stanza of the fight Song, school won unofficially out. We waJkcd out of Southwest to find, not sunshine, but rain. Everyone knew what that meant: possibly no parade. That didn't stop everyone. The float makers ran home in a hurry to put the finishing touches on their floats; the candidates ran home to change their clothes and finish decorating their cars. About an hour before the parade began, our spirits were lifted as the sun began to peek through the clouds. Just as the floats were ready to leave, we got word that the parade had been cancelled because of the weather forecast. The hard work was not a total failure though, the floats were still brought to school and judged. As they were driven, or pulled, to the side of the school, the theme, Jungle fun was very apparent. The floats ranged from a hugo spider to n scene from the jungle. The judges appeared to have a tough decision as they tried to choose the winning float. Saturday morning finally came and we prepared for the football game. Although the Band and Pom Pon' were unable to perform on the muddy field, there was a large crowd. At half time the candidates were announced. The candidates for Queen were escorted 100 onto the track by their fathers and the candidates for King were escorted by their mothers. four of the king candidates were playing in the game, but their mothers stood in for them. After the candidates had been an- nounced, some of the floats were driven around the track and the winners were announced: first Place- Sophomores Second Place- Juniors Third Place- Seniors fourth Place- AfS finally it was time for the dance, for some it was the end of a four year tradition, for others it was just the beginning. Each person who walked through the doors of the YMCA had his or her own expectations about what Homecoming was supposed to be. Homecoming 1986 proved to be suc- cessful as the students danced until the final bars of music faded away. As Ihe clock struck midnight, Mrs. Guinn had all the lights turned on as she called the candidates and their escorts to the front. Reggie Thomas was selected as second runner-up and Mike Jones as first runner-up. Steve Connaghan was then announced as the first Homecoming King in the history of Southwest. It was now time for Misty Kennedy, lost year's Homecoming Queen, to put the tiara on the 1986-87 Homecoming Queen. Before she could do that she had to wait as Mrs. Guinn announced Jody Moorman as second runner-up and Traci Smalls as the first runner-up. The crowd then grew quiet as Kim Trusty was named the 1986-87 Homecoming Queen. The new King and Queen then led everyone in a dance. Once the crowning ceremonies were over, the King and Queen were con- gratulated. Everyone, including the chaperones, was brought back onto the floor with some 60's mu3ic and the YMCA was swinging to the beot of the jungle. finally the lights were turned back on, the crepe paper was token clown, and the records were put away. Another Homecoming was over. All tha£ was left on the way home were smashed corsages, sweaty dates, and wonderful memories. for some at Southwest this was their last Homecoming, but none seemed to be too unhappy, perhaps because they were pleased at how well n four year tradition had ended. 101 UCMizCCMINC COURT 1RACI SMALLS JODY MOORMAN First Attendant Second Attendant KIM TRUSIY CAROLYN GETIINO CLYNIS McGAUTIIA Homecoming Queen STEVE CONNAC.IIAN Homecoming King MIKE JONES First Attendant REGGIE THOMAS Second Attendant MIKF 51LVEY PAUL WILLIAMS 103 WINTER SPORTS Winter Sports was the week of February 24-27. The theme was Pretty in Pink. The candidates were Kim Connor, Lori DeFoor, Rebecca Johnson, Donna HcOonnaId, Me1i ndn McDoi in 1d, April Hiller, and Candra Ruffin. Three events led up to the main attraction-the dance and the crowning of the 1906-1907 Winter Sports Queen. Tuesday evening, the Pep Club gathered to honor the lucky candi- dates. A yummy pot-luck dinner was chowed on while Stage Band jazzed up the atmosphere with severol selec- tions. They ended with an appropriate choice, The Pink Panther. Fate gave clues to the outcome of the evening when several people brought bowls of yellow kernals for dinner. Well, the Roast was a bit corny and ended up in a fry. The week was to continue. On Thursday afternoon the candidates were officially introduced to the student body. Nervous and frenzied thoughts rnn wild in each of (he young ladies minds as they dreaded the infinitely long walk down the middle of the auditorium. Rose in one arm and man on the other, they all made it onto the stage. The Winter Sports assembly was a success. It was now time for some real live action. On Thursday night the 1LFH filled with fans ready to watch the Southwest Indians play basketball against the Westport Tigers. With two seconds left, the Indians were ahead but it was not in the cards. Westport made that important shot and tied the score. The Tigers went on to win the game in overtime. The spirit of Winter Sports was not lost; the best was, yo3, yet to come?. Friday evening was (he proud luml of The Dance. The couples began meander- ing in around around 9:30. The music was loud; the lights were finishing. Hie teenagers began huppin', Ixippin', bumppin , and just plain get tin' down. Then it was time. At the magical and mystical moment that midnight creates, the envelope was ready to be opened. The second attendant was Candra Ruffin. The first attendant was Kim Connor.

The first runner-up was Mike Jones. Eric Adams and Ryan Williams, Southwest students, provided the musical entertainment for the approximately fifty students in attendance.

This year's students didn't hove to wait as long as usual; the dance was held on April 10. Elegantly ottired teenagers borrowed their parents' automobiles and drove out to Regency Park Hotel in Overland Park. Gentlemen in potent leather shoes opened doors for their gowned dates and led them through a night that would be both marvelous and memorable. The atmosphere at the dance was ideal. From the ceiling hung spark- ling crystal chandeliers. Balloons were roving about on the floor. Jelly beans awaited sweaty fingers in souvenier glasses. Soda and other hors d'oeuvre kept everyone happy. A wide variety of music pleased the ears of most. Cameras flashed candids and the more traditional pictures as the evening proceded. Shortly after midnight the couples started saunter- ing out ipto the town to endure the nippy weather. Smiles were beaming left and right os love glazed eyes spoke to their dates, Now, it's just, the two of us. 108 m SdAjini n | ouj i ) c pun ‘ ] uu cl u } oun ] u sawssv i laadNri fCESIlMCN This year, like every year, we have those students who are beginning their glorious trek up the totem pole of Southwest, planting the seed of future greatness. But like many great enterprises, those first few steps con be faltering and unsure. Ihe class of 19911, for instance, seemed to have forgotten a need to have a class executive board. That oversight was correct- ed and they were even having meetings: just in time for the second quarter and the November candy sale. What has been most notable about this year's freshmen is their sense of style. We have seen people wear things and do things Southwest has never seen before and may never see again. But perhaps the most memorable freshman accomplishment this year was the Homecoming Parade float. It was a valiant attempt at spirit and only lacked a few key ingredients: time, organization, flowers... So don't prejudge our illustrious freshmen.

At Arms Many things come to mind when it comes to the sophomore class. Words like excitable, silly, bombastic, and spastic all seem to be suitable adjectives for sophs. They are certainly the most carefree class at Southwest. Freshmen are uninitiated to life, juniors are stressed to no end by the SAT and ACT, and seniors are psyched for college; sophomores, on the other hand, simply don't care. The social scene is a very important part of a sophomore's life, and cocm3 to have had first priority. Attendance at all social activities is a must for popularity success. If movies were old and parties were dead there was always a sophomore get together to attend. Our house is your house, was a common motto among this year's sophs. The biggest event in a sophomore's life is getting a driver's license. This year was no exception. Being the underprivileged students, they had to face the difficult problem of trans- portation. This meant the monotonous organizing of rides to every social event. The most humiliating, of course, wa3 to plan rides for dates. This meant the tormenting choice of either a bicycle date or the company of a third person (yes, the driver.) This unavoidable third party always seemed to have something sweet to say about the date's alfalfa hairdo. The solution to this problem was soon found to be a driver's license. When they were freshmen, this year's sophs began to count down each day until they could carelessly jump into a car and cruise K.C. (preferably not in the family car, of course.) In this second yeor of high school, a sophomore's social status is an awkward one. Having most freshmen obstacles overcome, sophs hove heard about parties and begun to be aquain- ted with upperclassmen, yet they seem not to be sophisticated. However, they are certainly not uninitiated freshmen anymore, and by no means are they priviliged seniors, but they are lost somewhere in between. It was, and always has been, much eosier for a sophomore to move up on the social ladder if he or she was involved in activities. This year's sophomore class had many talented athletes that successfully supported Southwest and opened the doors for the classes. One thing that must be mentioned about our young sophs is that they were definitely ambitious. The rains that drowned out tho Southwest Homecoming Parade didn't stop them from plugging along in the notorious Cusumano garage. They diligently rolled their furious tiger float from the garage and set it beside South- west. They even finished with the traditional sophomore luck on their side and took first place. So, once again the cycle continues and each year comes to an end os another begins. The freshmen are seeds that were planted ond have blossomed into sophomores. They will soon mature and be ready to harvest as seniors. 118 Adair, Eryka AIrorn, Jncqoclinc Alexander, Damon Allen, Erie Allen, Shelli Alvorado, Rochelle Anderson, Leo Arthur, Sanedra Banks, Vincent Beckermnn, Jennifer Bell, Rori BiiM|ham, DeWaynr Hly, I at'omit Bouyer, lummy Boyd, LaRhonda Boyd, Mirluii'l lln cwan, I aShun 0radley, Shone Brazil, Pierre Brinkley, David Brooks, Janet Brown, David Brown, Daneen Brown, Robert Bui, Phuong Burgeon, Sieve Burg in, Zachary Burt, Ayanna Butler, Andre Byers, Brandon Byers, Jerry Byrd, Kevin Cain, Terri CaldwclI, Shannon Calvin, Chris Cnrponler, Mike 119 120 Cassidy, Danny Chalk, Mike Clwinto, Nathan Clnrk, trii: Clayton, Concurlo Clemons, Willie Cole, 1im Collins, Malcolm Colton, Carl Cox, Michelle Cusumano, Marco Dangerfield, Erika Davis, Leslie Dawson, James Dean, Christy DeFoor, Mark Dixon, Lloyd Douglas, Larry Earnest, EcholQ Edgerson,- Steven Ellis, Melia Evans, I nromc I ranr in, I an in f ranks, linger Freeland, John Gee, Theresa Gibbs, Dayna Gibson, Thomas Giordono, Peter Gipson, Quinton Gordon, Andrew Gordon, LaShelle Grant, Erika Green, LaTanya Grist, Aaron Grover, Vivian Gruhhs, Nelson Grubbs, Nelson Hadley, Kari Haar, Eric Hargrove, Regina Harris Jr., Donald Harris, Marguita Harris, Yolanda Hayden, lalricc I lender non, Rein a lleiHlr irkn, I lianna llcnuhrr, Lvan Herringl on, Joseph Hill, liffony llogur, Ileal tier Hopkins, Jamie Hopson, Erika Horacek, Robert Hoskins, Doris Howard, Shnwnn Ingcrly, Doug Jackson, Bridget Jackson, Isaac Jakublwski, Wess Jakub Iwsk i, Waller James, Vidor Jamierson, Darwin Janieson, lovey .lei ik ins, Verm lire Johnson, Jon Johnson, Marilyn Johnson, Stephanie Johnson, 1ina Jones, Antoinette Jone3, Antonio Jones, Kevin Jones, Shawn Kelso, Chandra Key, Nicole Kimble, Arche1Ic King, taVon Klepnc, George Kobel, Rochelle lory, Angela I ary, Jerry lory, Nicole I cal, Prise i I la Ieo, Michael lewis, Arthur 121 122 liltlejohn, Carl Livingston, Roy Lomax Jr., 1 nwrcnce I nlI in, I rrny I Ove Iace, George Malone, Brandi Manninq, Carrie Manning, Cliarl ire Mason, Barbara Mason, Kenneth McClain, Shalisha McClellean, Michael McClinLon, Mark McCraLh, Jennifer McGee, Michelle McGhee, Michelle McHenry, Kelly McKibben, Selrina McKown, Michelle McNeely, Lachelle Merrit, Paula Mioclaner, Susan M i m?;, Vernisha Montgomery, Jimmy Moore, Eddie Moore, David Moore, Jewels Moorer, Natacha Moorison, lamika Morton, John Mnsn, Kandic Murphy, Danny Murphy, lorry Murray, Latrice Neal, Eric Newton, Albert Newton, Nicole Nguyen, Ihy Nicholson, Candi Nicklen, John Norton, Gary Norton, Suzctte O'Neal, Carmen Orr, Dwayne Palmer, led Pair irk, Jamer.

The students looked ns if they could he humming, Hi, ho! Hi, ho! It's off to work we go. as they went to their classes. They were the Class of '88. The co-sponsors, Mrs. luley and Mrs. Katz, were the students' fairy godmothers. They kept the entire class on the yellow brick road to success as they worked toward becoming seniors. At the beginning of the year, the wicked freshmen, sophomores, and seniors forced the Junior Business CnmmiUco into lahorous activity. This fateful day was entitled Slave Day. The juniors' representatives dragged through the halls as they were forced to labor for the other stu- dents. But, the two fairy godmothers, Mrs. Tuley and Mrs. Katz, came to the rescue. They couldn't stop the Business Committee from performing drudgeries, lint to rccompence the juniors for their work and hurt pride, the Committee's services had to he paid for by the wicked freshmen, sophomores, seniors, and the parti- cipating juniors. This added gold to the junior class' already full cof fe is. the Principal and our Uuoen, Mrs. Guinn, planned a parade called the Homecoming Parade. Tt� e juniors wanted very much to participate, but they needed their Business Committee and fairy godmothers' help. They supplied orange, black, and green crepe paper. The juniors used this special paper to transform a carnage called a truck into a float. Tlie juniors and their float were noted and admired by all. After Lite parade, all tHo cropc paper disappeared, perhaps to turn into orange, black, and green pumpkins. At the ball, commonly called Prom, the juniors dressed as befitted princes or princesses. The juniors danced the night away, well past midnight, with their Prince (ss) Charming. Fortunately, they did not drop their champagne glasses which were given ns Prom favors. After the Prom all that remained was the big day, June 2, 1987, the Last Day of School. The juniors would become seniors and the Junior Class would live happily ever after.

Having been in this school four whole years, an urge to move on comes over them. With the Freedom from parents and living in entirely different places just around the corner, school loses a bit of its allure. So we (deservedly) got a vacation. During semester break, and the school days surrounding, twenty- two of Southwest's Seniors went to Taos to hit the slopes. We (who weren't asleep on our feet) remember that Tuesday night in January when we all arrived at 11:30 p.m....... for a 12:30 a.m. train. Of course our illustrious leader Coach Hannaman was right there with us, right after midnight. After this humble and sleepy beginning, we embarked on a twelve hour train ride to Raton, New Mexico. Fortunately for our fellow travellers, we were quarantined in our own train car by ourselves. Frequent forays were made, of course, to the lounge cor where we relaxed and tested our card playing skills. Once in Raton, Mr. Gaystus Gonzoles for yet another year, personally drove Southwest Seniors to Taos, and subsequently the skiing members of our party to the slopes for the next four days. He also, on the way to the Sagebrush, directed us to some special • luncheon cuisine... McDonalds. After our arrival at the Sagebrush Hotel, we immediately compared rooms (the boys' room was, as it should be, the best) and heoded for the jaccuzi. Contrary to popular belief, skiing was not the only option on the Senior Ski Trip. There was also a sightseeing tour throughout the Taos area. Sights such os The Gorge, a canyon comparable to the Grond Canyon, and the Kit; Carson museum. We also saw the oldest continually inhabited structure in the nation. This was the adobe of the Hopi Indian tribe. The sightseers also had more time to see the town of Taos and see and or purchase authentic Indian art. For those of us who stuck to the slopes, we were able to see some pretty breath-taking scenery oursel- ves. The mountains in the Taos Ski Valley (part of a national forest) are incredibly beautiful. They ore also incredible to ski down. Everybody who skied all four days was skiing blues (intermediate difficulty ski runs) by the last day. Then there were those among us who were ringers. These pro skiers were flying down the blacks (impossible slopes designed for the suicidal) at breakneck speed. Most of our troup were beginners, though. As promised, we received the most expert instruction to be found in the Rocky Mountains... Coach taught us. Ironi- cally, the sightseers who only skied one day, received training fr« m the official Taos Ski School (which really in one of the best). However fate (and a small error) put us in coach's capable hands. Amazingly we all survived. In fact, the only ski-relat- ed injury was a slightly swollen knee from a bad spill. The skiing was incredible, as for what happened those nights, well we wouldn't want to hurt any Freshmen ears, and memory problems might cause some inaccuracy (especial- ly about why there was a memory problem). The return trip began with a wait at the deserted (literally, since May 1986) Raton train station. The train was relatively (to our Taos nights, anyway) peaceful’. We mostly slept and hoped we wouldn't wake up until Friday afternoon. 1987 SENIOR SKI TRIP... isn't that special...pweshas...scope the ski dunes...both of us...you con't always gel what you want...gel on that mountain dude...toby time...come on 2:50!! 10:00 now!...irish prolcslnnl's kick?...Iainted love...brass monkey...no rn miiM|l iiM|.. .yiNi give quod love... jwiNinn...which room Itmifjhl ... .mmi Iran qi r hi. • .muyho I me.. .mi Iw.iukoo guy;;... r;nM� !•. in the face... friends huh?... don' t. move now...dear j-mc... worry n I ones.. .beauty school dropout s.. .24 ycors old oik! never been?...i'm such a good skier...suite not fair ...mom 3end money the western union way!...who's the most difficult...is it ski bunnies;or could it be SA1AN!!...i'm soooo tired...we come this close...where are you going'... choppa broccolli...meet us ot 11:05...can i put my shoes in your locker...hey! - mcdonnld's nqnin...knock on their wall and tell them to call me... a re you going to give us all separate chocks!... who gels the bathroom first today?... who's going to be there?.. .bunnies up...what's the name of the game...who are we waiting for9 the guys...i need some lemonade for my hoir-really!...i'm saving my energy for skiing!...how big is his?...whal are you going to do?... wtiere's my wallet?...i thought 11m iloor was locked.. .you brought thorn here; now you make thorn lonvo...wo brought you up some oreos...i'll pay you back monday, i promise...scopin...yeah, i'm an expert skier, that's it...i can't make left turns...i'11 do it if you'll do it...i swear there's no moguls on this one...hurt!...hurt again...good morning -time to get up (5:30 a.m.)...anyone got a quarter...a dollar for n dance, extra 500 to put some rain on it...HEMORI 15 140 SENIOR BALLOT HIKE JONES KIM TRUSTY TRACY SHIRLEY DAVID WINFIELD III SI All AROUND HI SI II RSIINAI I I Y BEST ATHLETE MIKE .MINES Ml I INDA MrDONAI I) MOST HUMOROUS Minil III WII I IS JAMT S OARRfI I SIEVE CONNAGHAN SI AC I BROWN MOSI SIM RITE 2 BESI MUSICIAN EUCENF WALLACE SU PHAN IE HOWARD 142 MARY SMI1M rilRIS DOWNING JENNIE RE AG AN EllLUS MCCLAIN ERIKA PALME R RECGIC 1HOMAS KIM RLI D MADE I YN VAUGHN KENDRICK HKITKl NRJDT.E 143 SENIORS 5LN1UR BUSINESS LUMMIlItt FIRST ROW: Candra Ruffin, Jody Moorman-Secretary, Glynis McGautha-Vice-President, Laura Norris SECOND ROW: April Miller, Kim Trusty, Kim Connor, Kim Marsh THIRD ROW: Steve Connaghnn, Sarah Gatson, Lori DeFoor-ProoiclonL, Reiirfft Parks-Treasurer, Carolyn Gettino, MolincJn McDonnald-Gi ftorinn, Donna McDonnald, Kevin Roliorts As freshman we entered the hallowed halls of Southwest High School with illuminated eyes and chasmlike minds. With great anticipation, we waited for the Southwest spirit to become our.own as we participated in activities, strove for excellency, and learned to be responsible for our school as well as ourselves. There's been a lot of growing up done in these four years. The eyes still gleam with anticipation, but now there is a certain maturity in them where once existed inexperience. And the chasm still exists, but now it exudes a confidence which comes only with the certainty of acquired knowledge. With this knowledge the senior class of 1987 has gained the traits of leadership. As freshman we looked up to the then seniors with odmiration and respect only to realize that we are now those seniors. We followed our predecessors' examples, strove, achieved, and made our senior class one which can be equally respected; one we con take pride in. Let's not forget that we are now at a turning point. Having fulfilled our goals os seniors, we accept a new challenge. To some, college beckons, offering an opportunity to further education, while others will enter the working force, gaining knowledge through experience in the real world. Life after Southwest may seem a little overwhelming right now but having successfully met the challenge first offered to us os freshmen we hove faith that seniors can meet any new challenges which may arise in the near future. But be warned, seniors, this is not only a time to laugh; it is also a time to cry. Graduation is the closing of a chapter in our life os well as the opening of a new chapter. We will miss the security of an environment filled with trusted and supportive friends. But as we go our separate ways, remember that the spirit of the Indian unites us forever. 144 Sean Abner Traci Anderson Tomoko Aoehina Arthur Arnstrong Dorothy Bennett Yvette Bey Luanne Blackerby Hark Blackerby Sonya Bolden Kin Boykin Kendrick Breckenridgc Chrishawn Brown Staci Brown Christine Burdett Tracy Butler Kenneth Byers Alecia Carlisle Tricia Carney Sherry Cea Kin Clause IAS Chris Clemons Kim Collins Stephen Connaghan Kim Connor Joseph Cravens Commodore Davis Sylvia Davis Lori DeFoor Kelley Dixon Malcolm Doak Chris Downing Spencei Ellis Pascale Etienne Jennifer Farnan Richard Franks Elease Freeman Sherita Freeman Eric Garhart Sarah Gatson Adrian Gee Carolyn Gettino Audra Glavas Kelley Gonniy Tamera Griddwe Robert Grist Yolanda Hardin Timothy Harline Bryon Harris Sherry Harris William Harris Melvin Hill Dedrick Hooper Patricia Horn Adic Horton Eric Houston Lisa Howard Odessa Howard John Hulston Rebecca Johnson Shannon Johnson 147 Yolanda Johnson Michael Jones Gina Juarez April Karr Sara Kloukau Michelle Krupco Adrianna Lacy Tonya Lasley Chrisopher Lenore Wynetta Lewis Kathy Lindgren Eric Linnhoff Kimberly Marsh Eulus McClain Chris McDonald Donna McDonald Melinda McDonald Gary McFarland Glynis McGautha Eric McTye 148 Holly Mehl Tijena Meyers April Miller Angela Moerlien Jody Moorman Veronica Moss Laura Norris Mustafa Omar Gary Owens Renee Parks Bridget Pauley Eric Pierce George Posey Jennifer Reagan Kimberly Reed Andrea Reeves Kevin Rentie Stacey Rentie Robert Riley Curtis Roberts 1A9 Kevin Roberts Victoris Robinson Jaymilla Roquemore Candra Ruffin Gale Russ Monette Shackelford James Shields Traci Shirley Michael Silvey Carrie Slankard Traci Smalls Mary Smith Regina Smith Tammy Smith Lisa Stafford Mark Staley Christopher Stites Andrea Stricklin Robert Sweets Machelle Taylor ISO Sandra Taylor Nichole Thomas Reggie Thomas Oarroyce Thornton Kim Trusty Madelyn Vaughn Bryon Walburn Crystal Walker Eugene Wallace Michelle Walker Michelle Ward Kelli Washington Troy Washington Arthella Webb James Webb Julie Wertman Deidre Weston Henry Williams Mario Williams Michelle Williams 151 152 Then if my friendships break and bend, There's little need to cry The while I know that every foe Is faithful 'till I die.

May all your dreams come true. Love, Mike, Teresa, Jessica, Sarah I begin with extending my warmest congratulations to you, the Class of 1987, who studied German or Spanish with me. May you be successful in your future endeavors, and may these include the continued study of other languages and cultures. May I also take this opportunity to thank those Southwest students, present and past, their parents and their neighbors who have helped to ensure that German, Spanish, and French continued to be a part of our school. As I leave SW for a district-wide position, after having spent 14 years with you, your best wishes and kind thoughts will be cherished. We stay with one another even as we take our leave. We are bonded by the smiles, the shared memories, and the experiences that have formed our meeting place in space and time. These facets of our lives—the affection, caring, and learning—that became synonymous with Room 205 are ours forever. May we all build upon so solid a foundation for our future! May our knowledge and understanding of all subject areas and of each other continue to produce the concern and spirit of community that are hallmarks of enlightened men and women. Let meager charity and narrow spiritlessness he banished from your lives and from those whom you love and respect. Our years together in German class brought new discoveries—of yourself, your friends, history, culture, and even, at times, of the English language. Continue to seek similar .horizons of the intellect and the spirit, and contribute to the cause of humanity in every way you can. Again, thank you for the time we have spent together. May we continue that pleasure! P.S.: It would be nice, too, if you would remember the position of Verb-1 and Verb-2 in German sentences.

Joy for you that you are going on to broader horizons and sorrow because you will be missed. This is especially true for me this year, because you are really MY class. We struggled together through sophomore English, and just when you thought that you were finished with me, we began the junior year together. Some of you were even part of my Civics class the last year that 1 taught Civics as well as English. In addition, many of you have served on SACHEM and or TRAIL staffs during your junior and senior years. Yes, we have spent many hours together. I have come to know many of you as much more than students. We have shared our joys and our disappointments on many occa- sions. Mr. Lyons and I have been privileged to share your athletic endeavors, your music performances, your pep club headaches and heartaches, your proma, and many other activi- ties too numerous to mention. We have enjoyed having you in our home and working at Southwest on publications until they threw us out at 11 p.m. You are very special as students and as people. To you, the Class of '87, I say, Allow me a tear or two as ou cross the stage at graduation. Bring your college honors, your job successes, and your children back for me to share. I'11 miss you.N Good fortune, good health, and Godspeed.
