We at Stroman are deter- mined to meet every goal others, as well as ourselves, have set for us. We are obstinate in that we strive for excellence in sports, in academics and other ac- tivities, such as drill team, band, choir and any other time-consuming, but worth- while, activity. When someone says Stromatif people know that he is talking about the only the best. Gniquely its own, Stroman has begun a tradi- tion of winning — striving to be the best at everything one sets out to do. Tammy Marshall dresses up for rSerd Day during Homecoming Week. According to most students, a nerd wears old-fashioned glasses, out-of-date-fashions and sports a stupid smile on his face. Opening J On College Shirt Day. ' Travis Vickery. Neal Stevenson and Randy Price demonstrate which university they support with their clothing and actions. Gaylen Youngblood and Charles Marshall strut around the cafeteria dance floor during the Homecoming Dance. Everyone soon followed their lead, making a line in which everyone joined in dancing. This was the first year the Homecoming dance was held on a Saturday night. It was a huge success. Opening Valerie Mendieta, Jeff Sparkman, Bradley Moore and Danielle Wariecha dance to the beat of Dr. Tunes at the Homecoming dance. Dr. Tunes is a disc jockey who features the latest hits, wide-screen videos and a light show. Realizing that community service is important, Carol Hilscher, Leah Kir- chner. Brent Smiga, Dehlia Ramos and Keith Schumann worked at the HEAR Foundation Food Fair in August. Following their shifts, they took a little time to share in the fun. Opening aCCESSFUL Stroman is good and is getting better. We no longer dream about success — we achieve it! We strive for nothing less than perfection and, at the same time, nothing more. We see the future and adapt ourselves to conquer it. The dreams of tomorrow lie within the minds of today. We no longer tailgate the leader, we set the pace. The pace we set is found to be competative with the best. With this in mind, tum the page and unleash the boun- daries of your imagination. During football season, the band marched throughout campus each Friday morning before school. Gaylen Youngblood and other per- cussion members parade through the patio striking a popular beat.

But on the night of Saturday, Oct. 11, the cafeteria was transformed from a utilitarian area into a place of fun, frolic and dancing. Dee Jay, Dr. Tunes, aroused the crowd as he played popular hits and large-screen videos. When I heard the music was by Dr. Tunes, said Randy Jef- ferson, I thought, it was going to be corny. But he played music for everyone. He played soul, rock, country and slow music. He mixed up the music really well. Homecoming Week celebra- tions kicked off on Monday with College Day. Although a variety of college shirts were seen, the majority of the students who participated either were Longhorn or Aggie supporters. On Tuesday, the smell of Coppertone suntan lotion filled the hallways as Hawaiian Day came upon us. The only problem with the activities was that the first fail norther also ar- rived on that day. Hawaiian shirts with sweaters and jackets were the order of the day. After a break in the festivities for an inservice day on Wednesday, nerdy characters came to school on Thursday, just in time for Nerd Day. Nerd Day is probably the funest day of the year, said Carol Chapa, because it gives people the chance to laugh at themselves in a unique way. On Friday the halls came alive with blue and gold as students radiated school spirit. A pep rally was held and everybody was ready for the game with Corpus Christi Car- roll. Prior to the game, homecoming festivities were held and the court was honored. Nominees for queen were Diane Garza, Michelle Mitscherling, Shelley Pribyl, Sara Smith and Tammie Coleman. Homecoming king nominees were Clinton Nicholas, Gaylen Youngblood, Glenn Filla, Jon Grones and Michael Yates. Coleman and Yates were named queen and king. This was the best homecoming we have had, said Shelley Pribyl. We won the game and the dance in the cafeteria was fun. I liked the dance on Saturday instead of after the game, she said. Jeffrey Lack and his date dance to the popular music of Dee Jay Dr. Tunes. For the first time, the dance was held on Saturday night in the cafeteria in- stead of the gym. Christy Thurmond and Delton Marbach wait for their appointment time with the homecoming photographer. The dance was well attended and con- sidered the best yet Jennifer Voelkel and Patrick Gresti take time out from dancing to get refreshments, which were set up on the east patio. Decorations for the Autumn Breeze dance featured pum- pkins and other harvest accents. The dance was sponsored by the Student Council.

Homecoming Chanting, cheering, are part of . . . Drums are beating, students are chanting as the band begins the fight song and the football team parades Into the gym. Another pep rally has begun. Classes try to outcheer each other, vying for the spirit flag, each hoping that they will be the ones to win the coveted award for the day. The cheerleaders begin chanting and introduce the various activities of the day. 50s Day activities was highlighted by the faculty cheerleaders leading the cheers and the choir per- forming a medley of old favorites from the hit parade. At the rally before the Victoria High School game, the Anchor Club displayed the spirit strips bought by the student body. Raider Belles, the band flag corps and the Drama Department displayed their talents at the various rallies. I like going to pep rallies because this is my last year, said Sherry Kuyken- dall, senior. Junior class members rally together to cheer the Raiders on to victory as well as try to win the spirit flag. Raider Belles, like Michelle Mitscherling, Mindy Steininger and Jennifer Voelkel, perform a new routine at a pep rally. Football players, Robert Delgado, Greg Wesbrook, Homer Escalante, Jon Grones and Michael Yates, join with the rest of the student body and faculty members in singing the alma mater, to traditionally close the pep rally. Pep Rallies Juniors such as Michelle Schaefer, Tresa Hermes, Jeff Lack, Karen Janak, Julie Arambula, Amanda Gonzales, Eve Rodriguez, Maria Quintana, Amanda Rendon, and Kimberly Quinn show their spirit at a morning p)ep rally. Juniors yelled their best, and later the spirit flag was awarded to them. I Whether a hamburger or pizza, noon is a special time of day . . et ' s do lunch L It is an inservice day and you have just finished sleeping late for the first time in weeks. Getting dressed, you see that the digital read out on the alarm clock reads 1 1:25 a.m. Thinking of the hunger pains in your stomach you call your best friend and say Let ' s do lunch . Choices line Navarro Street. Do you deserve a break today? Is this a Burger King town and do they know how burgers SHOULD be, or is Wendy ' s Big Classic really the good stuff? But then there are also other choices. For instance, there is always the old stand by, Mr. Gatti ' s; and if you really feel like stepping out, drive just a little fur- ther and there is Red Lobster. While one might enjoy the eating pleasure of a fast food restaurant there is still the subtle quality of a During both lunch periods, students file through both cafeteria lines making their lunch selections. Students could purchase a complete hot lunch for $1.10. Chris Escalante munches out on some chocolate treats during his lunch. Some students preferred to buy candy or chips at the snack stand, also in the cafeteria. home-cooked meal. On the other hand, you have your regular school day and you still have your meal choices. There is the snack bar, where you can choose bet- ween a fish burger and nachos, or there ' s the hot lunch line, where they serve a variety of food every day. For dessert, a person can choose from a large selection of Blue Bell ice cream flavors which are sold for fifty cents a scoop in the cafeteria. For those who bring their lunches, there are varieties of drinks, candy and snack machines on the second (west) patio. No matter when you do lunch or where you do lunch there will always be , choices of what to munch. Madeline Mendieta savors her ice cream cone during lunch at school. Traditionally everyone complains about school lunches, however, everyone agrees that the Blue Bell ice cream stand is terrific. Let ' s Do Lunch T Club initiations, special days and holidays come along . . . ust when everything seems normal 4 School has been in session for several weel s and a routine has set in. Classes are basically the same and a pattern for a normal school day is accepted. However, all of a sudden, something is not the same. A few people look different, even strange. They are dressed funny and some even are wearing signs around their necks. But, Homecoming week has passed. 50s Day has occured. There are no more dress up days planned. Deadra Connor and Micah Williams, GOAL Club initiates, willingly take part in the in- itiation activities. It ' s a lot of fun. said Williams. r % It is club initiation time. GOAL Club members wore wierd clothing one day and painted faces the next. FFA members wore signs around their necks. Even though we couldn ' t make anyone do wild or strange things, said Grace Barrera, sophomore, it was fun watching them dress up. And then came Halloween. Although Mrs. JoAnn Stovall, principal, announced that masks could not be worn and that dress code would be inforced on Oct. 31, some students did use their imagination and come in costume within the limitations of the dress code. Just when everything seemed normal . . . ' 1 1 1 On Halloween. Kim Haley became a clown, in looks only. As an office assis- tant, she performed her duties as nor- mally as someone who is dressed like a clown could. Dress up days are always fun during Homecoming week. Mary Neumann tries her best to look like a nerd as she does routine activites during the day Just when everything seemed normal Shorts and summertime clothing was discarded on It was during the first two weeks of October when the cold weather came. The first norther of the season blew in late the previous after- noon, with cold, hard blowing winds waking a few people up during the night. Waking up that nnorn- ing was hard to do. As soon as someone ' s bare feet hit the kitchen tile, it was a cold, cruel reminder that autumn was a little bit early this year. As students dressed for school, shorts, favorite attire for both guys and girls just the day before, were dis- carded on the floor. Long-sleeved shirts, sweaters and jackets were dug out of the back of the closet. The mood in class seemed to be changed as well. I was kind of sur- prised when I walked in- to first period and it wasn ' t loud. I was shocked, said Maurice Tolbert, junior. Even though the cold weather only lasted a few days, gone were the 90 to 100 degree days of September. The weath- er was cooler; fall had arrived. Ann Valdez made sure she had her jacket when she used the outside pay phone located in front of the central office. When a cold wind blows, it seems to be even colder on the breezeways. Frankie Motal. John Justis, Dorothy Motal, Belinda McCrory and Janet Kocian enjoy talking out- side now that the cooler weather has arrived. Grace Barrera, Sharon Whitby, Karey Janak and Micole Mathis sport their letter jackets on the day it first got cold. Even when it is only a little cool, one will find students wearing their letter jackets to school. The day it got cold T Can ' t enter the building early, what is there to do when . . . Vs 8 a.m. and no place to go I Once a student arrives on campus in the nnorning there is no leaving until 3:30 p.m. No one is allowed to stay in cars or even be on the park- ing lot once they arrive, and students are not allowed without a pass in the building until 8:20 a.m. Because of this, students head for several different Charlotte Herman and Chad Starkey come early and eat breakfast in the cafeteria before school. Breakfast entrees include doughnuts, sausage and bisquits and taquitos. ilii! areas around campus once they arrive. The cafeteria is always a good place to go. Beginning at 8 a.m., breakfast may be obtained there. Several groups of students will be found at certain tables each morning, chatting and catching up on each other ' s news. Did you hear ... I can ' t believe I said that ... Others take advantage of the time and study or catch up on last minute homework in the library. Some head directly for either the west or east patio, where they sit at the tables and talk or play games. A few can always be found at one of the snack or drink machines. Others like to sit on the benches near the flower beds or in front of the school to wait for the bell to ring. I usually stand by the doors leading into the main building unless it ' s cold, said Sherry Kuykendall senior. If it is cold, I go into the cafeteria, she said. I know there is no where to go on campus, so I usually don ' t come until the bell rings, said Nicole Mathis, junior. I don ' t come until the 8:20 a.m. bell is about to ring because I hate just standing around, said Michael Tisdell, senior. I have to be here by 7:3- a.m. for my zero-class, so I ' m usually in the classrom at 8 a.m., said Michael Gonzales, senior. Tim Hall goes to the library to catch up on current events by reading the local newspaper before school began.

Due dates affect dif- ferent people in different ways. Deadlines wil continue to bring pressure into your life as long as there are people who feel this uncon- trollable desire your life with and frustration. Today?! Today?! It ' s due today? It can ' t be! It was just assigned yester- day. That woman must be crazy! Does this situation sound familiar to you? It should if you deal with deadlines. With deadlines, you are al- ways a day late and an assignment short. They can make or break you. always mean to start off early, but 1 al- M ml ' il ■ The day everything is due 17 Find a penny pick it up, because very penny counts Money is no object until you reach deep down inside of your pockets and find nothing but a few strings of lint, or when you break open your piggy bank in hope of finding at least a quarter but unpleasantly there is nothing but dust. A lot of students or other young adults look forward to their paychecks or their Jennifer Voelkel gives Michael Tisdell change for his ten dollar bill so that he may use the various vending machines around school. weekly allowance which enables them to do a little shopping or any other money consuming activity. I look forward to my paycheck because I have a car that needs gas, said Charlotte Herman, senior. There is another alternate to getting money, and that is borrowing. There is nothing wrong with borrowing a few pennies, nickles, or dimes from parents, friends or even your enemies. We all do it sometimes. So when you are in need of cash, and you see a penny on the ground, pick it up because . . . every penny counts. Esther Trevino. Chancey Green, and Michelle Mitscherling get their money out to pay Jack Rickman for their Homecoming pictures. Dwayne Cherry finds out that the price of the cafeteria food is at a steep price; therefore, he is forced to borrow money from Tracy Johnson. Every penny counts Physics, Trig, Foreign languages English seem to be some of our . I ost difficult classes , and E ' M. It ' s that time again, time for your most difficult class. You wouldn ' t mind going, but you get so much homework and the tests are so hard that it really depresses you to walk into the door. It could be Algebra, English, Science, or History, but it doesn ' t matter because they are all difficult. As you walk into the door, you let out a sigh knowing what you are in for. Algebra is my hardest sub- ject, said Douglas John, freshman. The tests and the homework are just too much. I don ' t really like Science all that well, said Michelle Delesma, freshman. My teacher really expects a lot from us. History is my last class; therefore, I am tired, and I tend not to pay attention; therefore, I am always behind, said Mar- tha Ramos, freshman. Paying attention in class is a good fac- tor that will help you more. Under- standing the material covered, and ask- ing questions will sure make your most difficult class seem easier. Anthony Kitchens makes sure he understands his computer math assign- ment, by first trying to solve the prob- lem himself. Computer math is an elec- tive, and may be taken either a whole year or one semester. Mrs Mary Ann Parker makes sure each assignment is understood carefully by her math class. Most students think that math is a hard subject, but realize hard work and paying attention pays off. Most Difficult Class Hi 20 m Without a thought, without a care, some people . . . ct on impulse A Homeroom period has started, and it ' s looking like a great day. Finding that ten dollar bill in the desk, didn ' t hurt. Neither does the fact that three of your teachers are out, and the substitutes look fresh out of college. But, wait a minute . . . there is calculus homework due at the beginning of class. Think fast . . . need an When you are in a good mood, it ' s easy to act on impulse. When seeimg a year- book photographer, a group of seniors impulsively reacted. These include: Michael Tisdell, Carol Hilscher. Shelly Goebel, Shelley Pribyl, Christy Thur- mond, Renee Heibel, and Diane Garza. Diane Garza reminds Carol Hilscher that the pass is to go to the central of- fice, not talk on the telephone. Making an impulsive phone call will not always get one in trouble, but it could. Acting on impulse is just one of those things we as human beings do. Richelle Martinez, senior, enjoys a chance to get away from schoolwork and have a little idea . . . wait, where ' s the nearest genius? That ' s it! Copy off his paper while he is busy doing something else. But wait, is that the teacher getting up? Can I see you at my desk for a minute, and bring your things. Acting on impulse can be a risky business sometimes, like trying to copy someone ' s homework at last minute, or trying to leave campus during lunch. And yet, acting on im- pulse is not always a risk. In fact, it can be really funny. The problem with acting on impulse is that it can go either way. It ' s a 50-50 chance, a toss of the coin, a roll of the dice . . . If it works, you ' re a person who can think on his feet. If not . . . you ' re in an awkard position. Acting On Impulse — 21 V ere you ever bothered by bumping elbows at the table? Well, don ' t get mad because . efties have rights unique. It was something they were born with, not something they learned. I do everything with my left hand except write, said Tiffany Tisdell, sophomore. I feel more comfortable do- ing it that way, she added. I don ' t understand how people write with their left hand, said Tracy Colson, sophomore. I think it looks pretty strange, he added. What makes left-handed people so different from right-handed people? Is it because they do it from the opposite side of the body? Is it because everyone was born right-handed and only the greatest overcame it ? If the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body, then left-handed people are the only ones in their right mind, said Karia Creager, teacher. I think it ' s neat being left-handed, said James Williams, senior. It certain- ly is different, he added. Left-handed people are Eating lunch with your left hand isn ' t so bad, that is if you get to sit on the outside. I make sure I always sit to the outside so that I don ' t bump elbows with anyone, said Mark Werckle, senior. Bruce Wickliff. sophomore, makes sure he stands to the outside, mak- ing sure he doesn ' t hit anyone ' s elbow. Being left-handed means practic ing totally different from a right handed team, Darren Orsak senior, said. Lefties - 22 ' Everyone shoulc experience the yellow dog once as you go . . . umping along ■ Riding a school bus is not a very plea- sant way of getting place to place, but it sure beats walking. Everyday, many school buses pick students up for school. Bus riding is one of the most common ways of transportation. Sometimes I ride the bus home from school when my mother is unable to pick me up, said Carolyn Bates, senior. Not only do students ride the bus to get to and from school, they also ride them for school activities. I hate to ride the bus to out of town basketball trip especially when it is cold, said Jana Kobza, junior. I always pack an extra blanket, she said. During the cold months, it feels like you have just walked into a freezer, said Jon Hill, junior. It takes at least 20 minutes before the bus even begins to get warm, he said. Therefore, riding a bus may or may not be a pleasing way of transportation, but at least it ' s free! Waiting for people to get loaded on the bus is sometimes annoying. Thomas Green, and James West wait for everone riding their route to get loaded in. Rochelle Lawrence and Paul Garcia wait to get on the bus. It was better to get to the bus loading zone early so that you could get a good seat Waiting for the bus to arrive after school was sometimes pleasing. One could stand around and talk to classmates t efore the bus came. School Buses - 23 Working hard all week long, doing homework, studying for tests, and at last . . . hank Goodness It ' s Friday Students look forward to pushing open the doors at 3:30 p.m. on Friday after a long, hard week of school work. Sometimes I plan for the weekend, said Charlotte Herman, senior. It depends what is going on, she added. Weekends allow you time to get away from school and homework. I usually go to dances, movies, or just ride around, said Susan Kurtz, senior. Weekends are times you go out with friends and have a little fun. I don ' t prefer a large group because I am my own person, said Lana Speed, senior. I don ' t like tagging behind a group of people. she added. Weekends are a time for rest and relaxation. However, the dreaded Monday is just around the corner. Pam Parsons works in the credit department at Sears on the weekend. For her a weekend means time to go to work . Julian Jiminez practices with his group on the weekends. Sometimes they play for par- ties, but they enjoy practicing when they ' re off from school. Gay rSell Qerhels enjoys going to the movies on the weekend. A movie can be very relaxing. Weekends — 24 — Good we are, hat better is what we re striving for . , , ffective Schools When students arrived on the first day of school and began to use the stairs, they noticed something new about the walls on the second floor landing. In fact, as one entered the Central Office something new was seen immediately.

Advance- ment in Academics, Activities and Achievement for All. This mission is a direct result of the district-wide Effective Schools Pro- gram that was instituted following a conference that Dr. Larry Vaughn, superintendent, and several VISD ad- ministrators, including Mrs. JoAnn Stovall, principal, attended last sum- mer in Phoenix, Arizona. The purpose of the program is to make good schools even better, according to Mrs. Stovall. Each school has its own Effective Schools team, according to Beverly Mccoy. chairman. Teachers on t he team are very enthusiastic and excited about their role on the team, Miss Faculty and staff memtjers attended an in-service day pertaining to the value of Effective Schools. The team painted signs, much like the old Burma Shave signs that used to decorate the nation ' s highways, to decorate the hallway leading to the faculty workrooms. Holding the signs are Beverly McCoy, Cindy Kucera and Janice Haynes. Mrs. Cindy Kucera painted the mission on the wall in the Central Office and on the walls of the second floor landings. It was really tedious, she said. Mrs. Pat Lockstedt and Mrs. Laurie Bauer helped her paint the mission in the Central Office. McCoy said. The team meets every Tuesday after school to plan implementation of various improvements. Detailed surveys were taken from all the facul- ty members during the first week of school, all stu dents at the beginning of second semester and a sampling of parents. Everyone surveyed was ask- ed their opinions concerning school pride, cleanliness, homework, outside activities, and teacher and student relationships. The surveys will be used to improve campus conditions.

It ' s 4:51 p.m. and he ' s ready to go home. The time seems to drag on endless- ly. George counts the cars that go by . . . watches the birds . . . draws pictures . . . does his homework and writes a letter to his uncle. For George, it seems this torture will go on forever, but it will eventually end. He is experiencing something that many students experience every day . . . the pain, agony and tortue of waiting. Every day before and after school, between classes and during lunch, most students have to wait for something. Although there are a few that don ' t mind waiting, most feel it is a major inconvenience. conirnued on p. 27 Probably the only time students don ' t mind waiting is when they are waiting for the bell to ring to begin class. Rene Munez, Molly Hoffman and Carol Hilscher take the advantage of the op- portunity to catch up on daily happenings. Waiting for the 8:20 a.m. bell to signal students that they may enter the buildings are Susie Flores and Frank Pulido. When it is cold outside or incle- ment weather, this type of waiting can seem like an eternity. Isabel Hernandez finished an after- school make-up test sooner than she anticipated and now must wait to be picked up to go home. However she doesn ' t mind since she rarely has to wait. Waiting I 26 ■ Waiting can seem like an eternity, especial- ly when one is just about the last person on campus. Many students who had afternoon school activities, had to wait for parents to pick them up after work. Sometimes, it seemed like the waiting would never end. I really don ' t like waiting, said Scott Goebel, sophomore. I get bored and there ' s nothing to do. I don ' t have to wait often, but when I do, it ' s not fun, he said. Most students agree that waiting is both boring and uninteresting. Very few have patience with waiting. The most common things people hate waiting for Include parents, brothers and sisters, phone calls, dates and waiting in line. I really hate waiting for a telephone call, said Genevieve Huerta, junior. I hate to wait in line and I also hate for people to be late, said Vanessa Chacon, sophomore. I hate waiting for anything, said Zandra Buitron, junior. It ' s new! IV s wild! IV s crazy, and its guaranteed to make you laugh!

With the sun shining and the great outdoor weather, it ' s the perfect time for school to be out, and head to the beach. Summer is suppose to be a relaxing time, and what could be more relaxing than a nice day at the beach. Just grab a few friends, jump in the car, and you ' re off for a day of fun in the sun. I love going to the beach, said Anne Schanen, senior, it gives me a chance to work on my suntan. However, for some, sum- mer brings a chance to earn some money. I worked during the sum- mer, said Rick Marshall, senior. 1 figured it was more important than going to the beach. This is the way many students feel, as they find that the need for money overrides the wanting to go out and par- ty or to sleep late. Summer provides many opportunities for teenagers. They can have fun, lay around and enjoy their time off. Or one can try to find a job and try to make a little money. It ' s all up to the individual. At the faculty back to school picnic, teachers push aside their grade books to participate in summer festivities such as volleyball, pitching horseshoes, and just plain having fun. : m Cheerleaders work on new routines at the summer camp they attended in San Tim Hall held a summer job working as a lifeguard at the community pool.

DDo you feel common stress? You must be bothered by . , . ressure and Tension The digital clock reads two a.m., and you ' ve got to turn in your physics homework tomor- row. It ' s already four pages long, and you ' re only half through with it. Add to that, you can ' t remember the theories and most of the ways to do the work. Frustrated, you erase the problem and try to work it again, when your pencil breaks. Resharpening it, you start back to work, and find out that you ' ve messed up again. You take the paper, crumple it up, shout an obscenity (waking up the dog), and toss the paper, along with most of your papers and books, clear across the room. Based on personal ex- periences, there is a lot of ten- sion at school. Pressure and tension are very realistic to students, especially juniors, and seniors, who are now striv- ing to make good grades to get them into college. Usually this means a lack of sleep. Sometimes I don ' t get much sleep, said Carol Hilscher, senior. After doing elementary analysis, G T English, and economics, there ' s just not a lot of time. There are also some students that work during the school year, and that causes a lot of problems. Robert Sims, senior, works at Century Lanes during the week. After doing my physics homework, it might be three or four in the morning. In short, 1 live on no-doz. Not just homework, but school itself is a pressure-filled job. There are rules, changes. XochitI Comparan overcomes pressure by doing her work as soon as it is assigned; therefore, she won ' t have to be pressured at the last minute. and new things to adapt to every year. By the time their senior year comes around, many students are just too tired to cope with it. Even the teachers got pressures from the new changes concerning them. They have their teacher com- petency tests, in-class evalua- tions and other check-ups to pressure them. Pressure and tension seems to be a major fact of life in school. It can be a real pain, but must be dealt with to get through those tough times. Students often feel tense when called into an administrator ' s office. Mr. Jim Walker, assistant principal, works with students to make sure that no disciplinary actions occur. Pressure Tension School is more than going to class. It includes . . . Little extra Learning is only part of a school day. Although one is in classes almost six hours each day, school is much more than classes. It is learning to work within guidelines, setting goals, having fun with friends and even taking breaks. It is participating in extra ac- tivities, including those that teach special skills, such as choir, band and orchestra, it is finding ways to balance everything that must be done within a 24 hour period. It is homework, classwork, lunch periods and between class breaks. It is becoming a friend and learning how to deal with things that are difficult as well as easy. School is definitely a little extra. Michael Gonzales teases Ann Valdez at the water fountain during the seven minute passing period. During the passing period, students had enough time to get their books, a drink of water, or just enjoy one another ' s company. Just before the Christmas holidays, some classes took time out to sing Christmas carols as did Joyce Slone ' s psychology class. Lana Klapuch, stu- dent teacher, and Mrs. Slone sing, ac- companied by Renee Nunez and Julie Galvan on the flute. Carol Hilscher and Clinton Nicholas find a little time between classses to chat.

Most people do not realize the physical and mental coordination needed in skating. Skating is just like any other sport, they have contests and championship finals at the end of the year. This fast growing sport is the latest new way of expressing one ' s coordination and individuality. Chad Cardosa displays his talent in skateboarding on the channel ramp. Skateboarders use this to practice their routines for their championship finals which are held at the end of the year. Brent Smiga displays t he old familiar way of skateboarding which one is most familiar with. Skateboards were forbidden on campus and if a student was caught with one. the board would remain in the office until 3:30 p.m. that same day.

The variety of watches, hand- bags, shirts, sweatshirts and pants are just few. Are they try- ing to follow in the footsteps of the swatch? What is known, is that fashions are the hottest new wave of the 80 ' s. Wild dangling earrings. Guess jeans, Corrona Beach Wear, Swatches, fluffy hair bows, every color of Reeboks, polos and, just about every thing wild and zany, is said to be in fashion. The newest crave in fashion is Western wear. Rhinestones and metallic everything! Rhine- stones are on shirts, jackets, pants, and even socks and Shoes, shoes, and more shoes . . . rang- ing from S 18.00 to S60.00, you could buy a pair of tennis shoes, dress shoes or just everyday casual loafers. shoes. I like dressing Western because it is comfortable, said Dawn Ruschhaupt, sophomore. Accesories have proved to be a big part of fashion. Teens have gone silver crazy. From silver jewelry, belts, shoes and handbags, one must have not only one, but all. Lovely white lace collars are ever so popular. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you can make a collar that will look just as good, and it is also less expensive. Fashions are always chang- ing, but one thing is for sure, accesories are in and are here to stay. So stock up girls, and happy shopping! Red, White and you . . . Coca Cola shirts, sweatshirts, and accesories were really the thing to be wearing. I like wearing Coca Cola clothing because its neat and fashionable, said Greg Girdy. senior. Hair bows really came into style this year. They ranged from polka dots to plaid, although some were just a solid color. Lace collars brought feminity to the girls ' clothing. Although some collars were made of lace appliques, girls wore them over sweaters, dresses, or anything that they thought the collar would dress up.

Our student body is known for its friendliness and family-like closeness. At lunch we gather in groups to eat and relax together. We go to the mail together. We send flowers, balloons, singing telegrams and greeting cards to celebrate birhdays, extend congratula- tions or just let someone know we care. We wanted to surprise Ms. Mc Barbara McLaughlin on her birthday during homeroom, so we got a party hat, a cake and a balloon and brought them to her, Jennifer Voelkel said. Whatever the occasion, let- ting the people we care about know that we do care about them is a special part of life. Students often show how they feel about a favorite teacher.

You don ' t realize it until it ' s too late; you ' re just simply ad- dicted. You sometimes find yourself thinking about this obsession day and night. Some think of Chevrolet, but most go all the way out and hope for the big BMW. I can ' t go a day without a pack of gum, said Willet Dean, freshman. I think I would just die. Not only can cars and gum become an obsession, but so can food, clothes, soaps and candy. To many students, a Snickers bar, M Ms or a Reese ' s peanut butter cup is a must. The fact of the matter is that they crave candy. At noon, during the sum- mer, all activities stopped for those who had to watch the soap, All My Children to find out if Wade really did kill Phebee. If I ' m not able to be home when my favorite soap is on, 1 always put a tape in the VCR and record it so I can watch it when I get home, said Shelly Goebel, senior. Clothes always seem to be a must with girls. Guess jeans, hightop Reeboks, Liz Claiborne, Espirit, Coca Cola shirts and Swatch wear are all extremely important to a female when it comes to be- ing fashionable. ■ ' I enjoy wearing fashionable clothes because they make me feel good about myself. If you don ' t Soaps can be addictive, even to guys. Chad Starkey and Charlotte Herman watch a video tape of their favorite, All My Children , every evening, if possible.

According to Villar- real, she doesn ' t need the can- dy, she just likes it. look good, you don ' t feel good, said Ericka Knudson, senior. Food has always been Number 1 on the list under obsesssions. Everyone, at one time or another, has craved chips, french fries, hamburgers, ice cream and, of course, pizza. Sometimes I have an urge to get in my car and head straight for Mr. Gatti ' s to order a pepperoni pizza, said Renee Heibel, senior. Obsessions are a part of everyday life.

They also came to learn about societies much dif- ferent from their very own. Three students have taken the challenge to ex- perience high school life at first hand. They are Nobue Miyai from Japan, Alessia Bacchiddu from Italy, and Ralph Michelsen from Denmark. The most confusing thing for me was how to meet people and make them my friends, said Miyai -w; y.m.K.

Mobue Miyai, junior watches an American basketball game. For ex- change students some American sports are completely new to them. Tennis is one of the sports that many foreign exchange students enter. Ralph Michelson from Den- mark has made a place for himself on this year ' s junior varsity team.

This is not to say only freshman use the wrong stairs, but it does prove one point. Many seniors look down on underclassmen. Some seniors do realize that being a fish is just a part of life. I don ' t feel I have authority over underclassmen, Ray- mond Odom, senior, said. Underclassmen are human and students just like the seniors.

The particular date that evey senior is eagerly awaiting is June 3, 1987. The unknown secret about gradua- tion is that not all seniors will be graduating in June. Graduating in January isn ' t a posibility of which most students are aware. Not just anybody can graduate in January. Some students that are graduating in January are simply back this year to com- plete a semester, because of lack of graduation re- quirements. Some are graduating early in order to get married, or work, or even to get a head start on to college. The students wanting to graduate early have to have English IV during summer school, or have earned credit for second Wendy Jones, senior, goes over her test one more time to make sure everything is correct.

The per- son cannot have failed any sub- ject since their ninth through eleventh grade years without having gone to summer school to make it up. Even though some students will miss out on parties, prom, school dances, or other school activities, graduating in January is a definite advantage for some. I chose to graduate early so I could continue to work, and get on with my career, said Wendy Jones, senior. I just wanted to get to col- lege sooner, said Rae Jean Estrada, senior. Graduating in January is not for everyone, said Royce Buesing, senior counselor.

The parking lot has been changed a lot this year. Once you are on campus, you are not to leave. There are monitors standing in the parking lot every morning to make sure that you do not leave. No one is to cruise the parking lot anymore. If a student is caught riding through the horse shoe in front of the main building, discliplinary actions will be taken. The first time Is a warning, then the second time, I write them up, said Mr. Jim Walker, assistant principal. Parking stickers are required for all vehicles driven into the parking lot. The owners of cars with no stickers are notified and warned before the actual towing away can be done. Mr. Bill Dunn, assistant principal, makes sure no cars enter the bus loading zone. No cars are permitted there before or after school. CIndergraduates 70 1 mm ? ,f?

Boys, as well as girls, could wear shorts to school as long as they were no shorter than three inches above the knee. A controversial ruling concer- ning earrings, however, was reversed during the first month of school. At first the school board permitted boys to wear earrings to school. Some of the guys loved it and wore dangling earrings as well as the small studs. However, all that was changed when the board decreed that it was disruptive for guys to wear earrings in class. Community standards should be reflected in student dress, said Dr. Larry Vaughn, superintendent. Community standards should be a fifth guideline for determining what dress is acceptable, said Dale Pigott, trustee. Dr. Vaughn introduced a new form of communications witfi faculty members of the district during the year Each campus had an opportunity to have breakfast with the superintendent at their respective schools and ask him any questions or discuss any issue with him. The only con- dition was that no administrators were allowed to be present, per Dr. Vaughn ' s instructions. By the middle of September, boys could no longer wear earrings. New additions to the campuses, especially on the elementary school level were built. Stroman and Victoria high schools each had construction on campus with a weight room and athletic facilities for Stroman and a new gym at Victoria High. The district also embarked on the Ef- fective Schools program, which is designed to make effective schools even more effective. The mission adopted by the district was Everyone Can Learn. Each cam- pus adopted its own mission, based on the district mission. Stroman ' s was Stroman is a 5-A school. Advance- ment in academics, activities and achievement for all.

First, the school was departmentalized. In the main building, all English classes were held on the second floor, math classes on third and history classes on fourth. Other changes were introduced by JoAnn Stovall, principal. Once coming to school, students were not allowed to stay in their cars or in the parking lot. Once at school, they had to stay until the 3:30 p.m. bell rang. A parking lot attendant was on duty in the morning and after school. The Morth St. exit and two on Ben Jordan were chained off in the morning to help the flow of traffic. Parents were asked to drop their children off in the horseshoe instead of coming into the parking lot. Although some resisted these changes at first, the flow of traffic was helped. Jim Walker was added to the administra- tion as an assistant principal. I ' m learning the situation right now and getting familiar with my job, but I think I ' m really going to like it, he said. Mr. Walker was in charge of discipline and student activities. Returning assistant principals were Bill Dunn, discipline and textbooks, and Nan Jackson, curriculum. Mrs. Stovall returned in her second year as principal.

The super quiz part is kind of scary because you don ' t know the kind of questions the judges are going to ask you, said Rebecca Wilhelmsen, senior. If you get the answer wrong, then everyone knows because it shows up on a big screen T.V., she added.

Decathlon 96 training your brain mind boggling and headaches describe the SAT and ACT To almost every senior, the main thought is graduation. However, for those seniors who plan on going to colege, there is something else that must be con- sidered. Just about every universi- ty or college requires that a stu- dent take the SAT or ACT test before entering as a freshman. The SAT is taken in four areas. Preparing for the SAT or ACT means pick- ing up folders and papers that are to be completed before mailing Tracy Beck, senior makes sure she receives her copies of the booklets for both tests Ben Herman, senior, checks the re- quirements he needs to fill out information needed for the SAT. SAT and ACT tests were given on designated Saturdays at Vic- troia College. Math and English. The ACT is taken in four parts. Math, English, History, and Natural Sciences. The ACT is an achievement test, according to Royce Buesing, counselor. It measures what a stu- dent has already learned up to a certain point, he explained. The SAT is an appitude test and is us- ed to predict the success in col- lege in what a student is capable of learning. Studying for the SAT and ACT the night before is a no no, accor- ding to Mr. Buesing. A person should prepare himself weeks in advance because of the wide variety of material the tests covers. SAT ACT 97 M ixed Sports Co-ed P.E. brings ' new program format Requirements in physical education have chanaged over the last several years. Lab assistants soon will no longer get P.E. credit and students only have to take two instead of two and one- half years of the course. Now, if one walks into the gym, he will see guys and girls exercising and playing sports together in a physical education class. I think it ' s a fair shot to both the boys and girls, said Mrs. Christine Smith, Ira Fillmore looks for an open shot as the guys play the girls in a friendly game of basketball during physical education class. Co-ed physical education has introduc- ed a new look to the P.E. classes since both the guys and girls even exercise together. physical education teacher. The students can learn a lot more about their physical abilities. I love it, said Sophia Ramos, junior. It ' s a chance to participate in sports and get to know each other. Students compete with each other in activities such as handball, basketball, ten- nis and volleyball. The mixing of classes lets more people par- ticipate, ' ' said Kim Rickman, freshman. 44. . . The students can learn a lot more about their physical abilities. Mrs. Christine Smith   Mixed Sports 98 tudent Teachers Teaching methods, ' tricks, ' learned I feel like an important part of each class, said Lana Klapuch, student teacher. Student reac- tions have been very positive. According to the four student teachers, they are required to teach individual classes in each field they plan on receiving cer- tification in. In science you must obtain a science degree from a major university, said Sabra Sauer, stu- dent teacher. 1 was required to then take education courses which 1 am completing at GH-V. Apart from departmental re- quirements, student teaching demands patience, diligence, ef- fective articulation, a basic understanding of teaching methods and tricks ' , said David Stimson, student teacher. Mrs. Heinold chose to do her Lana Klapuch waits for an answer from the psychology class she is teaching as a student teacher. Mrs. Klapuch says that she feels like an important part of each class. 1 Sandra Heinold finds student teaching in English and history to be time com- suming. causing some sleepless nights Since Sabra Sauer was Roundup editor in 1980. she took a break from her science class to visit the journalism department to see how design has changed. student teaching at Stroman because 1 know it ' s a very good school that puts the welfare of its students first. For Mrs. Sauer, a 1980 graduate, it was like a step back in time when 1 came back. Some of my teachers are still here, diligently working. It was wonderful to come home for my student teaching, she said. 1 was allowed to request the school and teacher 1 wanted to work with, subject to school ap- proval, ' Mrs. Klapuch said. I had substituted at several different schools and knew immediately I wanted to teach at Stroman. According to Mrs. Kalpuch, who is student teaching in psychology, she wanted to become a teacher because 1 feel adolescense is such a very difficult time in ones life. We should direct more of our energies toward working with students at this age Mrs. Klapuch was an adult pro- bation officer when she decided she would be able to reach a greater number of teenagers if she was a teacher instead of a proba- tion officer. The culmination of the semester experience is 10 straight days of teaching without the coofjerating teacher. Student teaching requires a lot of hard work and relatively sleepless nights, Mrs. Heinold said. Student Teaching 99 F rom dusk to dawn Students set aside hours, even minutes, for their studies With the no-pass, no-play rule, many students make great efforts for high, or at least, passing test grades; therefore, studying is the key to their problems. I prefer to study at home in a nice quiet place, but somehow I always end up stu- dying at school, said Sharon Whitby, senior. Several enjoy studying at lunch after eating. I ' d rather study with friends because I learn more with help from them, ' said Stacey Fillmore, senior. Head banging and nerve racking are some of the effects that take place during this period of time. I don ' t think about studying 44. .. Students really take time to study. Paula Johnson, junior . . .♦ until after my T.V. programs, which is about 10:30. After- wards, I study for at least two and one half hours, then I set my alarm to get up early, only if I have a major test the next day, said Melinda Solis, senior. Most students study on their own time. Keeping the informa- tion fresh in their minds will allow students to work accurately. Studying just before a test gives me better results. I always finish faster than when I don ' t study, said Arndra Thomas, sophomore. Students really take time out to study, said Paula Johnson, junior. Madeline Mendieta makes sure she makes better grades by going over her studies one more time before going to school. Sharon Whitby, Grace Barrera, Karey Janak, and Nicole Mathis study together in the cafeteria just before the 8:20 a.m. bell is about to ring. Some students find that study- ing together will help them make a better grade. Studying Too P Stacy Fillmore finds a little time to rest while studing in the library The library is open to students from 8:20 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Martha Ramirez studies just a mo- ment before her government test is given out. Most students reassure themselves by glancing over their test material right before a test Studying 101 ot off the press Stroman was invaded by new classes which in- cludes a dead language (Latin), great dancers (Wranglers), casual dress (informal geometry), three piece suits (business law), and byte -ing off more than you can chew (data processing). Latin is an academic course taken by some students because they need it in order to go to medical school. Some took it because it gives a better understanding of the English language. Wranglers is basically a Students estatic over new classes pre-drill team. All types of dance, such as ballet, jazz and tap are taught to the class. The objective, according to Debbie Mendez, instruc- tor, is to learn as much dance as possible and to improve skills. Informal geometry is said to be a little easier that regular geometry. It helps the student get an idea of how the regular geometry is really like. Wranglers is basically a pre- drill team in which all types of dance is taught. Olga Martinez sharpens up her dancing skills by paying attention. For a teacher beginning a new class, such as business law, Mrs. Blanche Ruelas must put in ex- tra work to plan the next days ' lessons. Jimmy Pena and C.C. Reese grant the request on Lisa Janak ' s shirt which says, Kiss me, I speak Latin. New Classes 102 T eacher evaluation Pressure put on teachers in order to improve the educational system The tardy bell has just rang, and a high school classroom is filled with many noisy students. After taking the roll, the teacher starts the class with unusual quickness. Then, a few of the students notice something strange about the teacher. They notice that the teacher seems unusually ner- vous and that she tends to repeat things they already know. Suddenly, a loud dropp- ing of a pen is heard from the back corner of the classroom. Immediately, many of the students turn around only to see a formally dressed man with a large notebook. He, the teacher evaluator, smiles as he picks up his pen. Teachers must be completely prepared for each class. Ray Jackson puts math problems on the board prior to his fifth period class. Teacher evaluations, which were created by Texas House Bill 72, are a big change to the teacher and the classroom, and have attracted a number of dif- ferent opinions and arguments. Teachers get visited by two different evaluators twice a semester. One of the visits is unannounced, and counts for 60% of the teacher ' s grade. The other evaluation is announced to the teacher, and counts for 40% of the teacher ' s grade. It disrupts me knowing that everything I say or do is being analyzed and recorded on paper, said a faculty member. Teacher evaluations were one of the many changes to take place in Texas education. This time, the pressure seems to be put on teachers, but in order to improve the educa- tional system, someone has to start somewhere. Teachers must make sure that everyone understands what is being taught in the classroom Mrs Carol Swaim ta kes time to explain English composition techniques in her class Teacher Evaluation 103 p reparing for contest i Putting in 110% f Cars dragging down a back road . . . slamming someone ' s fist down as you win an arm wrestling match, or the simple child ' s cry of I ' ll race you. It ' s man ' s greatest art form ... a challenge, a contest. Challenges meet us on an everyday basis. Some are sim- ple .. . getting to class on time, beating the crowd to the cafeteria at lunch. All of these are a challenge. There are other types of challenges, however. Whether it ' s a test or some other type of academic challenge, such as a UIL con- test, we want to excell and are willing to practice long hours or study until we know the material completely. Several organizations par- ticipate in competitions throughout the year. For band and choir, it is district, region and state competiton as well as solo and ensemble competi- tions. I practice several hours a day, said Charles Marshall. Raider Belles compete against other drill teams from this area of Texas. Each team must use one certain song for contest, said Jennifer Voelkel, senior. We practice a lot so that we can get everything down straight, she added. In the spring, CIIL academic contests are held and students will compete in typing, shor- thand, prose and poetry, jour- nalism and one-act play. I think that it is neat that typists can compete in GIL contests, said Tim Krejci, junior. Typists compete in accuracy and time, said Blanche Ruelas, sponsor. Melissa Gomez, and Homer €■ work together on their science i ject.

It ' s only a couple of weeks before the contest that I actually go over any special material with them, she said. No matter what the challenge, one must be ready to meet it in order to succeed. Raider Belles work many a long hours to perfect their dances, Jennifer Voelkel, Morgan Stevenson, and Mindy Steininger, make sure everything is adequate in their dance. )  m n .j Preparing for a contest is not easy for band members Johnny Gomez, Nick Munoz. Joe Ruiz, and Teresa Cavazos. Band competitions are very tense moments when I feel like I HAVE to do good, said Cavazos. Jim Tumlinson and Mindy Steininger work on a science fair project together The annual VISD Science Fair was held March 27-28 in the boys ' gym. Darrin Wilson prepares for the (JIL literary academic contest. The contest was held March 27-28 in Corpus Christi. Students competed in jour- nalism, typing, speech and one-act-play. Preparing for contest 105 ssistants lending a hand where it is needed According to Texas House Bill 246, periods in which students assist the faculty, such as library and office assistants, will no longer be given credit. The only type of assistants recognized and allowed credit are the science lab assistants. These assistants, who are actually in a laboratory management course, spend a class period cleaning and organizing materials for labs, said Laurie Bauer, science department head. By doing this, we learn more about the chemicals, said Sharon Whitby, senior science lab assistant. The science lab assistants help Biology, Chemistry and Physics teachers prepare labs. They are essential because teachers are usually too busy and can- not set up labs on time. The lab assistants also learn proper techni- ques in maintaining a safe laboratory storeroom, said Mrs. Bauer. Although students who work in the office or library may not receive Office worker, Becky Gon- zales sorts the mail, files and helps out at the swit- chboard. No credit will be given to office aides next year credit, they are doing necessary work In order for the school to run smoothly. They are the ones who pick up absentee slips each period, check out library books and take messages to various parts of the campus. i rejects students are able to visualize what they are learning Throughout the course of the school year, many classes will be doing other work than everyday activities. Many classes are doing special pro- jects that get the students ex- cited and interested in their work. Ms. Barbara McLaughlin ' s first period accelerated class was one of the many classes in- volved in this type of activity. Robert Brown, senior, dresses the part of a villian who gets his hand cut off By dressing the part, a student is able to visualize and feel what the character really is. We ' ve been doing ballads which the students have either sung or read, said Ms. McLaughlin. ' They have been doing a great job, and I am pro- ud of them, she added. Some of their activities in- clude oral book reviews, and a group project on what they think the world will be like in the year 2,000. Projects will always be a part of schoolwork. No matter how wild and outlandish they become, both the student and the teacher will continue enjoy- ing the production and display of these projects. W . .J Coming from outerspace is Shelly Goebel and Tammi Fisher Their project involved how outerspace people came down to earth, and it was terri- ble that they left Patrick Uresti and Mark Voigt tell of their kin folks, the famous Bartles James They have a family get-together while drink- ing Bartles James Premium wine coolers. Projects 107 T Special Classes Classes expand on academics Are GT (Gifted and Talented) classes for short, thin, four- eyed geniuses? Certainly not. GT classes really aren ' t that much different than ac- celerated or regular classes. It ' s basically the same, but we have a lot more projects, said Eva Gonzales, sophomore. Other than GT classes, there are also special classes, which are really electives. Art and Computer Math are just two of the many special classes that also have projects assign- ed. Some of the Art students are doing a Batik project. Batik is a process of creative designs on fabric by applying hot liquid wax to the cloth, then dyeing it. It was difficult to come up with a design, because it had to be a certain style, said Brian Dietzel, sophomore. Computer math class is a special class because it challenges your mind and can also be very interesting. It ' s pretty easy once you get the hang of it, said Patrick (Jresti, senior. Really, one could say that all classes are special, especially if a student gets something out of them. Alfonso (Jresti and Nicole Mathis take notes during a lecture from the poet in residence. Sponsored by the Art Foun- dation, a poet in residence works with students on all grade levels. Mrs. Paula Mitte hands Deanna Buehrig some new cloth, so that she can begin her Batik design. You really can learn a lot about design in an Art class, said Buehrig. Art classes stresses our visual environ- ment through the elements and prin- ciples of Art. Richelle Martinez works on her Batik design, so it can be com- pleted and turned in. GT Special Classes 108 i Gifted and talented classes usually in- clude many projects as well as lectures. Mr. Charles Beheem, poet in residence, works with Kathy Svetliks junior G T English class. Computer math is designed to acquaint the student with BASIC computer language. Kim Haley, senior, uses the computer in problem solving.

The defense is looking tired and battered. But they ' ve already knocked out three players. The op- posing quarterback steps into the huddle, his mind filled with plays. When the center snaps the ball, the quarterback drops back into the pocket and throws a 40 yard bomb. It floats down into the waiting arms of the defensive safety. He returns it for a touchdown. Everyone wishes this were true. Last year, the Raiders went to the play- offs for the first time in it ' s history. Unfortunate- ly, the Raiders could not repeat this successful season. For the first time in three years, they did not have a winning season. Their record was 4-6. At the beginning of the season, Stroman wasn ' t picked any higher than fourth or fifth in district, while crosstown rival, VHS, was picked by most to finish first. I liked it, said Jon Grones, senior. The pressure that we had be- ing rated first last year wasn ' t there this year. We got to watch VHS sweat with the pressure ... we had the same thing last year. The football team began its pre-season dur- ing the summer, going to two-a-day practices. After a pre-season exhibi- tion game against Bay Ci- ty, Stroman went on the road for its first game at Austin Reagan. James Williams and Ronnie Barnes went at quarter- back for the Raiders, but they fell short. Final score 23-6. I was really disa, pointed, Harry Mc Cluskey, head coach said. I guess we weren ' t as prepared as we thought we were. Stroman ' s second game, at home in Memorial Stadium, was a success for both offense and defense as the Raiders forced a shutout of the CC Moody Trojans, 25-0. Moody was a good ball club, Grones said. We wanted a victory a little more than they did. We made some mistakes, but our hustle made up for it. In the third game against CC King, Stroman rolled up for 316 yards of offense. Williams threw three touchdowns, but it was not enough as King went on to win 36-26. I was disappointed, Said McCluskey. I thought we could have won. We made a lot of mistakes, some which were mine, and some which were on the field. After losing a heart- breaking game to Victoria High, 23-0, they still had to face two of hte toughest teams in district, CC Miller and Coach David Evans com- municates with the other coaches in the press box con- cerning plays.

The Raiders ended their season on a happy note with a 15-14 win over CC Ray in the last few seconds of the game. Due to injuries and pro- bation for missing prac- tice, said Coach Mc- Cluskey, we had 15 starters who couldn ' t start in various games. We had 1 1 juniors and nine sophomores who started this year. It has REALLY been fun. However, Coach Mc- Cluskey has hopes for next year. With their getting experience, those juniors and sophomores are working themselves into starting positions, he said.

Every time a special require- ment is needed quickly, so- meone is there. In every sport, these people are there. These people are managers, and they help keep the teams in op- timum operating condition. The managers perform several different tasks during the sporting year. In football and basketball, they keep scor- ing records and statistics. Basketball managers divide their time between keeping statistics and videotaping the games. 1 guess I like videotaping the games more than anything else, said Audrey King. I can see the whole game from where Managers such as Jon Hill, junior, helped out in taping and wrapping John Paul Werckle ' s ankles. By doing this, there weren ' t many injuries, said Hill. I have to sit and I can also be a part of the crowd. In track, they record personal bests and help with the necessary equipment. I really enjoy keeping the records at the basketball games, said Tammie Col- eman. It gives me a chance to support the team while also helping them. I like the respon- sibility of having something fun to do. No matter what sport or what season it is, managers are always there to offer their assistance as an important part of the team. Audrey King, senior, videotapes the girls basketball ganne. The girls got to watch the ganne the next day to see how well things went. This also helped them to correct their mistakes.

I ' m getting a lot of ex- perience being a sophomore on the varsity squad, said Donald McGee. I just wish we could have started the season off in a better way, he added. Last year, the Raiders ad- vanced to the playoffs, but un- fortunately this year, they were unable to do so. I was really hoping we would at least make it to the Bi-Districct play-offs, said Rick Marshall. Being a senior, this was my last chance to try my hardest to make it there, he added. Well, we really needed to work on executing our shots, said Arndra Thomas, sophomore. That ' s where we really messed up, he added. The Raiders ended 2 and 7 in district action and 14 and 9 in the season. Arthur Ellis goes for two points against Victorias Mark Foster. Even though the Raiders did not have a successful season, they should be congratualated on the hard work well done. Varsity: Neal Stevenson, Donald McGee, James Williams.

We worked hard for what we got, and we deserved every bit of it. Long hours of running up and down the court and waking up early to practice, while others were at home resting helped the team achieve their goals. We work together.

Baseball 128 A n extra dividend I Everyone likes to receive things, whether it is sharing something with a friend, a pat on the back for an accomplish- ment, or just a word of en- couragement as one is trying to do a task. Working together with others, as well as having fun with a group of friends, is commonplace at school. Stu- dying together, and even argu- ing with each other, is something friends do. These are just some of the i l reasons why classes and other activities are important. It is through these classes that a student can show achievement. It is through these classes that he can get help when he needs it. It is through these classes that he can share the good and the bad times with his friends. Libby Rodriguez ' s friend came to school to be in a skit in psychology. As an addedd bonus, he got to attend Beverly McCoy ' s economics class. Becky Holmes finishes a homework assignment for an upcoming class. Coming to class early enables her to have a few minutes to finish her work as well as preventing her getting a tardy. On cold days one likes to sit in the cafeteria and eat a hot lunch. Not so in this case James Calliham prefers to stand outside without a coat and eat an ice cream bar on a freezing cold day An extra dividend Greg Girdy awaits the results of the Regional Marching Band Contest scores.

Cheerleaders were in charge of making posters and decorating the gym for the games. Warming up before the pep rally seems to be a good idea to Kathy Muhlstein, Danielle Warzecha. and Valerie Men- dieta to insure them of good pyramid formation. Cheerleaders usually arrived early at the pep rallies in order to warm up and practice their routines and cheers.

Decathalon members, Travis Vickery and Carol Hilscher listen closely as instructions are given. Decathalon meetings were usualy held on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the library from 7-9 p.m in order to ready the the team for the January competition. Class time is study time for Melissa Gomez and Julie Aram- bula. When working on a research paper, classes were usually given the opportunity to reserve time in the library. Michelle Eddleman and Danny McGuill dance to the beat of Dr Tunes. For the first time, the Homecoming dance was held on the Saturday following the game, enabling the football players to attend the entire dance. An added bonus While the defense is on the fie!

There are several on- coming freshmen with a lot of quickness, said Denise Fetterman, head track coach. There are also some returning let- termen who have excell- ed in regional and state competitions, ' ' she added. We are looking for- ward to a great season, said Ursula Johnson, sophomore.

Along with the play- ing, comes hard work and determination. The hardest thing about tennis is keeping yourself in shape and keeping in the top six players, said Lisa Carlisle, sophomore. For some students, practice isn ' t always the hardest thing. There are also academic goals to achieve to remain eligable for tournaments. The hardest thing for me is trying to keep up my grades, because the competition is stiff, said Michael Valenzuela, junior. They are a great determined group of kids, said Dick Cowan, head coach.

This sport deals with waking up in the morning and practicing from 6:30-8 a.m., then getting up on Saturday mornings and running two miles for yourself and for the team. This sport is like other sports; it brings peo- ple together and makes a per- son really believe in himself. Cross country is very fun for those who enjoy running. I really enjoy running, and hopefully it will help me do good in track this year, said Pearl Dean, junior. This year ' s cross country teams brought team and in- dividual trophies back from their meets. The girls cross country team placed second in their district meet, and seven girls ran in the regional meet. All the hard practices really paid off for me this year, said Reajean Estrada, senior.

According to Coach Harry Mc Cluskey, the weight room is much needed and will be added to. In time, more weights will certainly be added to the small collection (of weights), he said. It ' s a great facility to have and we have to improve on it to make it the best in the state, Coach Mc Cluskey said. When lifting weights, one should have someone around just to make sure you don ' t drop them on yourself. Getting help from someone else also enable you to try to lift your maximum weight.

But this isn ' t the glory of a game. In fact, it will be months before the first game is played. This is off-season football, where players train to get ready for next season. Optimism and en- thusiasm are the feeling of the athletes about the upcoming season. Our players have the best attitude that I have seen since I have been here. They are working really hard and have put out a great effort, said Coach Lee Barnard. Having goals makes it easier to make im- provements. Each athlete has his own goals to try to reach.

The players will make the difference, said Hodie Garcia. positive attitude and the desire to set and reach goals makess this easy to accomplish. Team goals are also of major impor- tance. The athletes need to develop pride in our program and in our team- mates. They need to develop enthusiasm and become goal-oriented, according to Coach Harry McClusky. I am very optimistic about next season, a nd off-season is helping us to prepare for it, Shawn Delgado, junior, said. Since G.I.L. ruling to work after school much of the work has to be done on their own. There has to be the determination to work and to try to be the best you can. Off-season is usually the most overlooked part of football, but it is the most important part, said Coach Lee Barnard.

I enjoy acting; however, one cannot gain points for Thespians on acting alone. One must also gain points in the areas of pro- duction and or business. Thespians is very challenging. One does not only compete against students from other schoola, but from his school. One is continusouly competing for the most parts in plays, and the most points.

From candy to stuffed animals, organizations are always involv- ed in a fund-raiser. Fund-raising for clubs is great, said Dehlia Ramos, junior. I think it is a terrific idea for clubs to go out and earn their own money, she added. On the controversial side, some get tired of spending their own money on little things like Fund-raisers are always a big part of school life. Robert Perez, sophomore, serves popcorn for the Choir fund- raiser Popcorn was offered after school for 25 cents a bag. candy. Fund-raising is fine, but sometimes it gets a little out of hand, said Lisa Janak, sophomore. I get tired of buy- ing and selling candy all of the time, she added. The only thing I don ' t like about fund-raising is that I always end up spending my lunch money on candy, said Troy Starkey. I then go to lunch, and find out that I have spent all my money, he added. Fund-raising is sometimes a difficult job. Whether you like it or not, one must be constantly hasseled by the buying and sell- ing of items during their high school years in order to make your club successful.

This is the situation that the Stroman IN- SIGHT newspaper staff has to deal with when there are only a few days left before a deadline. With staffs this small, said Tracy Beck, editor, everyone is expected to work on both publication staffs and sell ads for both the annual and newspaper. This makes it almost im- possible to prioritize. Something is always left out. This is the situation with the annual and newspaper staffs. Most of the people enrolled in the Advanced Journalism classes work on both staffs, Beck said. Needless to say, this can get com- plicated at deadline time.

Advanced journalism students worked together to publish the Insight newspaper and the Roundup yearbook patible with the new computer system at The Victoria Advocate. When The Advocate changed its computer system to IBM, we had to do the same thing in order to tie in to its system, said Melicent Bryarly, ad- viser. We had a lot of problems, at first, with the changeover. But once the program was debugged, publishing the paper was easier, she said. The INSIGHT is run just like a pro- fessional paper, according to Beck. The reporters conduct interviews, write, rewrite and finally load the copy into the paper ' s computer for transmission to the Advocate. Adver- tising must be sold and designed. Headlines and captions must be writ- ten and typefitted and finally th e pages are ready to be pasted up and made camera-ready for the final trip to the Advocate for printing. We hope to publish one paper every month, Beck said. In the beginning we had a few problems, but I think that we ' ll meet our goal. Last year ' s staff did it, and we can too. =|U?| Newspaper 148 Insight editor.

Jack Rickman is a first year publications staff member who served on both the yearbook and the newspaper staffs. Much experience is gained rapidly as deadlines grow near. It ' s not as easy as it looks. It is more fun, though. Newspaper staff takes a lot of time and true dedication, but it is worth it. When I was in Journalism I as a freshman, I had never even dreamed that I would be on the newspaper, much less hold editorial positions all three years. But, when Mrs. Bryarly told me that she wanted to publish one of my stories, I was thrilled. And that was just the beginning. Now I am the editor. I get the story ideas and assign them to the staff. Then I have to make sure they meet the deadlines while I meet mine. Ads are probably the hardest because there are so many different ways they can be done. I enjoy designing the pages, but my favorite part is just watching others en- joy the paper we worked so hard to publish.

Student Council has given me an insight to all of the work- ings and plannings of an organization, said Melissa Heinold, junior. I never realiz- ed how much work it was. All year they have been working hard to make the best of their activities for other and for themselves as well. Their service projects in- clude selling pep ribbons, spon- soring the Homecoming dance, sponsoring the Christmas card design contest, Christmas card delivery, Christmas caroling at the rest home, and were also a host for this year ' s fall conven- tion, which was a success. This year student council not only has its reguair at-large members, but its regular at- large members, but homeroom representatives elected by each first period class. This way, everyone is informed of what ' s going on in student council. Although student council is very active, it is also fun and very challenging, said Dehlia Ramos, junior.

The thing 1 learned early was that responsibility makes a difference and that the right attitude brings on responsibility. Never before, and probably never again, will 1 be given the chance to experience leadership, pride, and a sense of happiness that Student Council gave me my senior year. The thing that made it complete, however, was the people I was given to work with, my officers and my council.

During the year, G.O.A.L. has had many fund-raising activities such as bake sales, selling spirit pens, and working at the concession stand during the Toast of the Coast tour- nament, to buy equipment for their sport. I like working at the bake sales because it gives me a chance to meet new people who really sup- port the basketball team, said Karey Janak, sophomore. Top sales winners will be able to go to either the state track meet, or to the state basketball game at the end of the year. I try to sell a whole lot of the stuff we are issued so I can attend the state track meet or basketball game, said Grsula Johnson, sophomore.

I joined G.O.A.L. because it was a requirement for athletics. I have now grown to like it. Going through initiation was the most fun a person could have when joining a club. During the time of initiation, you dislike it. After your first year, you look back and think about how much fun you had. Being president of G.O.A.L. has changed me for the best. I have learned to be a leader. Leadership is impor- tant to me. Leadership is im- portant to have during your adulthood and I feel I am pretty well prepared.

F.C.A. 153 hoir high keyed, competitive From the elite Super Sixteen singers, to the Concert Choir, the Stroman Choir is a team. They shoo-be- do-da their way into everyone ' s heart. The choir performs many shows throughout the year. They usually perform a fifties song and dance routine at a pep rally. Besides performing at the pep rallies, the choir also attends many serious competi- tions. Some of these competitions include District, Regional, and State competitions. This year was the first year ever for two peo- ple from Stroman to make all-state choir. The two receipents are Charles Marshall and Jessica Milligan. Mar- shall was the first male to make the all-state choir in all the years at Stroman. It makes me feel very honored to be the first guy because this is a very important competition, said Marshall, sophomore. This is my first year being a member of the choir, and I knew I had to work really hard, he added. This year was also an exciting one for the two time all-state choir winner Jessica Milligan. It takes a lot of dedication, said Milligan. It is an honor since this is my second year. I am go- ing to try really hard next year, and go for three, she added.

There ' s so many ways to describe choir — supportive, fun, challenging and competition are just a few. Competitions were fun, and some of the trips, but if one of us didn ' t do well, everyone was kind of down. But, pretty soon someone would get some music going and everyone would join in and sing. Looking back on all the memorable days, concerts, and spring trips brings tears to my eyes. 1 am proud to say that I am and always will be a part of the Stroman Choir.

Choir 157 laying at the top; Members win sweepstakes The crowd watches on as the Raider band prepares to perform on the field at Memorial Stadium. The announcer proudly introduces the band to the crowd, now wild with excitement. There, on the field, every band member is deep in concentration, thinking only of the show to be performed. Four claps are heard. In unison, the band marches closer to the middle of the field, guided by the steady beats of the drums. A rising drum roll is heard, then sudden- ly, the first note of the show echoes out toward the audience. The drum major can be seen strenuously conducting the band while the band direc- Color Guards Rachel Ozuna. Karen Ochoa, Terry Goode, Karen Stevens. Patty Vianes.

The front part of the band forms into a long straight line and slowly makes their way toward the frantic crowd. The music develops into a slow paced an- them that captures the crowd. As the band roars, YEAH! at the end of the show, the directors sigh in relief that it went perfectly, and t he crowd stands and proudly thunders applause. This year the band has accomplished what no other Raider band has ever done. The band won sweepstakes, the highest rating possible at the district UIL marching Clarients: Melinda Gonzales. Liz Wesar.

I hope that what we did this year starts a tradition for the Raider band. This year ' s band ' s hard work is paying off. said Julie Vonderau, senior. Many people, including students and faculty, are behind the band, encouraging them on to a successful year. As one can tell from watching their performances, many long hours and amazing amounts of blood, sweat and tears are put into a half- time of contest show. Jim Van Landingham, one of the mar- ching contest judges, wrote, You really march with a committed style. Mo question in my mind about this being the finest SHS band i have ever seen. The band ' s mar- ching style seems to originate in marching fundamentals. Executing corretly the sharp, lightening-fast movements, the band can dazzle on-lookers. Ron Wilborn, another marching contest judge, gave the band a superior rating. He wrote, Band really executes its marching fundamentals well. Mo doubt in my mind about this rating. A sophomore varsity football player said, When I hear the band play the fight song, it just makes me get excited and want to try harder. Few people ever think about the role the band plays in a football game. The music played by the band sets the mood for the game as well as entertains the people in the stands.

Michael Luna, Scott Fimbel and Michael Cano mark the cadence during a half-time perfor- mance at Memorial Stadium. I feel I am a very fortunate person and I am quite honored to fiold the position of drum major for the band. This position enables me to get to know every band member and a chance to work with each individual. Every band member is special, and we all share a unique bond that brings us together as a family. Most people do not realize how much hard work and sweat goes into learning and perfec- ting a show. The work we put in during the summer all pays off eventually. The long working hours after school and sometimes in- to the night, all seems worthwhile on a Friday night when we perform at half-time. It is a tremendous feeling when the band sounds and marches well. A good crowd response is also a great feeling to receive while performing. To me, there is no greater feeling than to lead a group as disciplined and dedicated as the Raider Band. We are not the band of old, but we are a new more proud, dedicated organization that is on its way to the top. This year is definitely the start of a new tradition here at Stroman, so watch out for the new Raider Band. Julie Vonderau Chris Spence is one of many fine trumpet players in the band.

Along with the preci- sion dance award, they also received four superstar nominees. They are: Brenda Estrada, Mindy Steininger, LIbby Rodriguez, and Stephanie Padron, who won the award. I ' ve enjoyed working with the girls, said Ms. Debbie Mendez, Raider Belle instructor. The girls prac- tice during drill team classes which are fifth and sixth period. After school they run down the crowded halls to get dressed in ten minutes for their hard workout which is from 3:40-5:30 p.m., she added. The workouts really seem to pay off because the Raider Belles attended a contest in March to demonstrate their sharpened skills. Performing at the basketball games were always fun for the Raider Belles Michelle Mitscher- ling. marshall, dances to the popular tune Egyptian Lover Going to games were always fun especially when the Belles gave an excellent performance.

Ms. Mendez has clianged us so much in such a short time. Raider Belles all know that to reach our goals we must have dedication, hard work, and Ms. Mendez. We start our practice in the sum- mer before we go to camp and con- tinue until the end of the year. Our job throughout the year is to sup- port our friends through their seasons. During this year round job, we are also getting our team ready for competition which comes in March. This year our goal is to win sweepstakes. 1 have been in drill team for four years and this is our third director. This year has started off great and has been so far.

One of the biggest projects of the year was decorating a nursing home for Hallo- ween. The group also sponsored a babysitting service during open house. I really liked babysit- ting for the kids, said Danielle Powell, senior. It gave me perience little ex- in home economics, she added. Outside of doing com- munity and school pro- jects, the club attended area and state meetings. The area and state meetings are fun because you meet a lot of people, and you learn a lot more about organizing a fami- ly, said Anna Escalona, senior. Hope Powell and Danielle Powell display decorations which were to be hung at a nursing home. Decorating the nursing home was one of the club ' s communi- ty service projects. Members are JoAnn DeLeon, Elsa Garcia, Tonia Kramer, hor- ma Gomez, Anna Escalona, Nelda Garcia, Danielle Powell and Kim Kennedy. 1 have really enjoyed the years I have been in F.H.A. I have met many people and learned many things. In this club, we do service projects for the community, such as decorating nursing homes during Halloween. We also go to different meetings in which we discuss how to improve our club, and how to make it more interesting. At the end of the end of the year, we have a banquet at a local resturant.

Besides the spring con- certs, the students prac- ticed hard for competi- tion in the Solo and Ensemble contest on Feb. 6. The students are real- ly geared up for the com- petition, said Mr. Grinnell. Orchestra has been an important part of my high school years. Through it, I have been exposed to other people ' s ideas and creative in- terests. The opportunity I was given to perform in front of others was a reward in itself. Clearly, the orchestra has been the single most significant learning experience in my life. Being in orchestra for seven years, I have been highly motivated into achieving things that I did not think I could do before. I have been given the opportunity to audition to be in the Regional Youth Orchestra which 1 have been active in for two years. I was able to meet and play with students from different schools and different levels. In all, the experience 1 have gained has given me a greater meaning of team work and leadership of which will be more than useful in the years to follow.

Prominent refers to that which literally stands out from its background. Outstanding is remarkable as compared with others of its kind, and con- spicuous applies to that which is so obvious as to be noticed. During the summer, the cheerleading squad attended Universal Cheerleading Association camp in San Mar- cos, where they won one superior trophy and eight superior ribbons. We worked all the time at camp, said Sara Smith, head cheerleader. ' But we really ac- complished at lot, she said. This year the girls received a little help from three guys. They are called yell, or spirit Head cheerleader, Sara Smith, leads the team on to show who is really number one. Cheerleaders plan all the pep rallies, which were held at 8:10 a.m. Top row: Shelby Leita, Sara Smith. Danielle Warzecha; Mid- dle row, Anne Schanen. Lisa Bomba, Kathy Muhlstein, Chris- ty Thurmond.

They include: Clinton Nicholas, Mark Wer- ckle and Neal Stevenson. We got the idea from camp to use guys as spotters on some of our more difficult stunts, said Smith. In June, the squad held a cheerleading camp for little kids. Forty children attended, ranging from first to fifth grade. Awards were given to the most spirited and all around winners. The all around winner earned a chance to perform at the first home game. It was a lot of fun, said Smith. It gave us a chance to be with the younger kids that always looked up to us. Cheerleaders 168 During the summer, cheerleaders sponsored a Little Cheerleader workshop for children in elementary school. Christy Thurmond and Kathy Muhlstein assisted the children after they listened to instructions. The cheerleaders practice the form that won them a superior- rating at the CICA summer cheerleading camp in San Mar- cos At the workshop, the cheerleaders learned new pyramid formations and routines that they added to their repertoire. Being a cheerleader was a dream I have had since I was a little kid. It is a lot of fun and even more work than I expected, it takes time to become the best, it also takes hard work and deter- mination, but it is worth every bit of it. I get to meet a lot of dif- ferent people and make a lot of new friends through cheerleading. We are really representatives of our school and it is important to keep up a good image. Cheerleading takes a lot of working out and getting into shape both physically and mentally. Mary Neumann At the pep rally preceding the Homecoming game, the cheerleaders presented a mum to Mrs. Alma Kimball, sponsor, to show their appreciation for everything she has done for them. Mrs Kimball accom- panies the squad to all games and to summer workshop. Cheerleaders 169 K ey Club understanding pathway to progress The sun shines brightly on a warm October afternoon. Students can be seen leaving school to relax and prepare for tomorrow. But others re- main at school for various reasons. A small group can be seen in the flower bed in front of the school. These are Key Club members doing their part in beautifying the school by working on their flower bed. Once again this year, Key Clubbers helped the com- munity through various pro- jects. The annual Kiwanas pancake supper was held and proved to be successful once again. Last year the club ranked number 22 out of the 200 clubs of this district. Jeffrey Lack, Clayton Shenker, Vince Vannorman and Michael Tisdell attend the Key Club meeting which is held once a month in room 101.

Jeffrey Lack, junior, was recently elected to a second term, and will be serving as Lieutenant Govenor next year. Key Club has been a great chnce to meet new people, serve our community, aand it has also helped me learn important public speaking, said David Lack, senior. I love it, he added. The Key Club always assists the Kiwanas at their annual pancake supper. Laverne Griffith, sponsor of the Key Club, is also an active member of the Kiwanas Club. Key Club 170 When I joined Key Club at the beginn- ing of my freshman year, I wasn ' t really sure what I was getting into. I had gotten a letter from the club asking me to at- tend their first meeting. I went, found out what the club was all about, talked to the upperclassmen about the club, and officially joined the next week. Since that time. Key Club has given me the opportunity to serve people in the community and school in fun and ex- citing ways. Through the club ' s ac- tivities and Key Club con- ventions, I have made valuable friendships and learned a great deal about leadership and responsibili- ty. Without a doubt, Key Club has been the greatest experience of my high school years. David Lack: •••••••••• Officers: Back: Michael Tisdell. treasurer; David Lack, International secretary.

There ' s a lot of outside work to be done, said Randy Jeffer- son. We photograph out-of- town games and many after- school activities for the year- book and newspaper. You can always tell when a deadline is near for one of the publications, said Graham. All of a sudden, there are a stack of photo orders and one of us stays late after school to catch up or comes on Saturday. Photography is easy. Once y ou learn, it ' s all downhill. The main thing to remember is to have your shots look natural, not posed. This gives the yearbook a personal quality, making it something to enjoy and have fun with rather than just read. Being a photographer is great. Photographers 173 earbook depicting student life is main goal As the keys of a typewriter tap, young and dedicated journalists work frantically deter- mined to meet their first deadline. The journalism depart- ment takes many hours of concentration and pa- tience. The act of com- posing a yearbook is a difficult task. Information must be gathered and then put into a specific order. Stories are to be written, pictures are to be taken, ads are to be sold, and designs are to be created. Brainstorming is a familiar word to the jour- nalists. Creating a story takes imagination and creativity. The story must be exciting and inter- esting so that it will keep the readers attention. Journalism is hard, but I don ' t mind doing the work because it pays off in the end, said Diane Diaz, junior. The yearbook is the most important project throughout the year . . . and the journalism department plans to make it the best! Lydia Hobbs, Robert Sims, Mrs. Melicent Bryarly, and Tammie Coleman select pictures for various layouts. Shelley Pribyl. rereads her story in order to eliminate typographical errors so that the story is complete and ready for page shipments. Lydia Hobbs confers with Dana Ceding, editor, to assure her of proper layout design. Yearbook 174 Annual is a lot of fun. My first year was pretty hard, but as time went on, it got a lot easier. Being on the staff takes a lot of hard work and time. It is more than just sitting in class and goofing off. There are large amounts of money involved. Ads must be sold, book orders must be taken, and fund-raising projects must be undertaken. This is because the Roundup must be self- supporting, just like a business. Being editor is the toughest job. Not only do I have to check and guide staff members in their assignments and deadlines, I have assignments and deadlines as well. It ' s a lot of fun when it ' s all over because we can look back and laugh at all of the times we stayed up all night, yes, ALL NIGHT, working to meet a deadline. We work hard on making memories last forever. J Dana Oeding ft.

They held many fund-raisers, including a candy sale, a Mexican Dinner and a Henco products sale. Community service plays an important role in the club. They used their skills in tutoring at the Adult Learning Center. The club members enjoyed the op- portunity to experience teaching individuals and the class as a whole. Three members served as of- ficers on the district level, Sherry Tillmon, Nicole Mathis and Shay Kuykendall. Sherry Tillmon was elected District Recording Secretary for 1987- 88 at the District Convention. Stroman hosted the convention in November. FTA is an exciting club, said Sharon Whitby, senior. You really learn to work for something you want — which is attending the state convention. Jr. F.T.A. officers: Bottom, Tracie Gant, financial secretary; Evette Sut- ton, vice president. Top.

I enjoy FTA, not because I get to go to the state convention, but because I want to become a teacher in the future. I love being around little children. I want to major in Elementary Education in order to become a third grade teacher. Being in FTA shows me the value of teaching. I hope to fur- ther my education and pass it on to others. Jr. FT.

It was really neat getting to adopt an animal, said Shelby Leita, junior. Not only did we get something extra for our club, we also made a better name for our club, she added. I liked working in the con- cession stands, said Michael Yates, senior. It gave me a lit- tle time to get away from my homework, he added. Club meetings were held on activity day, although some after scool meetings were held. Even though our club was a little small, we still had a lot of fun, said Michelle Mitscherl- ing, senior. My advice to peo- ple who are looking for a fun and interesting club is Science Club is for you, she added. I ' ve been in Science Club Jets for two years. Even though I ' m not enrolled in a science class this year, the club allows me to further expand my knowledge of science. Science club also gives students the opportunity to examine dif- ferent careers dealing with science by taking filed trips. Over all, I feel that Science club can be rewar- ding to many people of varied interests.

Although Pre- lab has only eleven members, the club has stayed very active. Even though we have a small group of people, we still have various service projects, said Sherri Mike, junior. I find that being in a smaller group, we are able to become a more united club, she added. The purpose of this club is to build self-confidence in Professional make-overs were provided by Looking Great of Victoria. Pre-lab member. Leticia Prado, learns how to apply make-up, as well as flow to dress for success. Visiting cfiildren at the Tender Loving Care day care center proved to be a big success among Pre-lab members. Leticia Prado and Sally Sierra made a couple of friends real fast. yourself, to become a better person and learn worthwhile skills in business. When I first got into Pre-lab, I wasn ' t real sure of what I was getting into, said Stephanie Guerra. Now I am glad that I joined because I have really learned a lot about myself, she added. Service projects included visiting the Tender Loving Care day care center and distributing candy for Halloween. The fund-raisers included many bake sales at school and the malls. In describing what Pre-lab means to me, I would have to tell you that it is a worthwhile club because I have learned to become a better person. I can be more attentive to other people besides myself and I can now take respon- sibility for my own actions. I now have self confidence that I have never had before.

Being an FFA member, I get hands on experience at a lot of things concerning agriculture, said Mary Hagel, senior. Most of the members enter animals in the annual stock show. Not only do they get experience in the agriculture field, they often earn enough money from the sale of the animal to start college. Several students are chosen to compete in the Houston Live Stock show and receive scholarships. Being a FFA member gives me the opportunities to become involved in one of the largest industries in America, said Rhonda Broz, president.

Being a FFA member, I get the sense of responsibility. ! also get a chance of bettering myself and my skills for the future. FFA has ensured my future, because it has helped me decide that I want to make my future in agriculture. It has helped to show me every aspect of myself and my potential.

The of- fice secretaries are busy trying to ac- complish their duties. They need so- meone who can file, type and answer the phone while they feverishly fill in forms by the dozen and take care of the daily business. This is where members of Vocational Office Education Co-op come in. These students go to school half a day and work the other half, receiving on-the- job training and knowledge for office procedures. As a club, VOE Co-op provided several services to the community during the year, including playing Bingo with the elderly, sponsoring the annual Thanksgiving food drive, and giving a Christmas party for the children at the Spirit of Youth Home. We really had a good time with the kids, Diana Garcia said. They real- ly looked up to us. Approximately 900 pounds of food was donated by 12 clubs for the an- nual Thanksgiving food drive to the Victoria Christian Assistance Ministry. FHA brought the most food and was honored with a donut party by VOE. Third period members treated the fourth period members to a pizza party at Mr. Gatti ' s for selling the most products in the fall fund-raising project and the group celebrated Christmas with a banquet at Siesta Restaurant.

OEA provides a great educational program and it also provides a learning outside the classroom. This year VOE had several service projects for the public. These projects include play- ing bingo with the people in nursing homes, and OEA sponsored the Thanksgiving food drive in which all clubs were urged to participate. OEA also had some fun activities. These included having a pizza party, in- stallation of officers, and a Christmas party. OEA is a fun club, and I wish everyone could participate.

It ' s all a part of a unique organization . . . Na- tional Honor Society.

Each member must maintain each of the four essen- tial elements in order to be eligible. Each member must also be completing their sophomore year, or Officers: Jennifer Voelkel, Rosalin- da Delgado, Carol Hilscher, Homer Escalante and Diane Garza. It has been my experience as a three year member, that the people involved in the Honor Society are among the most resourceful, talented, and en- thusiastic people around. Through Honor Society I have come to learn some of the most trustworthy paople. The spon- sors to the Honor Society help with advice in much of our decision mak- ing and the caring goes beyond the meetings. Each per- son is a significant part of the Honor Society, and it ' s the people that make the entire organization special. older. The Honor Society isn ' t so much a service organization as it is a recognition of achieve- ment. I really like being in National Honor Society because it ' s creative, in- teresting, and fun, said Jana Kobza, junior.

As a member of [National Rifle Association and a 4-H rifle team. Dawn Ruschhaupt has learned pa- tience and the meaning of perfection. I ' ve been com- peting for seven years, Ruschhaupt said. Last year we went to state competi- tion at Texas A AA and won fourth place out of 40 teams. ' You learn to perfect your rifle skills, Ruschhaupt said. It ' s very competitive a nd fun, but a lot of hard work. The only things I dislike about it are the hard prac- tice and long hours you have to put in, she said. James Smith is a newcomer to Explorer scouting, however he is becoming a dedicated member of Law Enforcement Post 61. Explorers is a higher level of scouting, he said. We learn police pro- cedures and direct traffic and park cars at the livestock show. The group meets twice monthly on Mon- days and the only thing Smith dislikes about the meetings is that he misses Alf. Danielle Powell joined Girl Scouts because she yanted to work with people and help others. In scouting you invest a lot of time and effort in doing volunteer work, she said. According to Powell, she had dropped out of scouting in elementary school but rejoined while in high school. The pur- pose of this group is to help girls better their lives and learn to love people and help them, Powell said. The only thing I dislike about scouting is the uniform. The best part about Girl Scouts is help- ing others, she said.
