ENTERTAINING: When the Drama Department sponsored the Raider Junction jamboree talent show in the fall, student organizations and individual groups auditioned and per- formed in the weekend pres- entation. )MXS OPENING S, ' STUDENT LIFE DIVISION JAMMING: Students participated in the Raid- er Junction Jamboree, drama department tal- ent show. STUDENT LIFE DIVISION I ' ssismm m OCTOBER attendance For the first time in three years, and as a reward for those who had perfect at- tendance, Stroman stu- dents were allowed to eat off campus for lunch. On Fridays, November 13 and 20, students poured from the campus with excite- ment, breaking the long line of closed campus lunches. 1 thought is was great! It was refreshing and a break from the ordinary, said Sarah Hammack and Mari Rincon. Following attendance re- wards such as handing out ice cream sandwiches, cokes and chips, dismiss- ing school fifteen minutes early, and extended lunch- es were well excepted by students. It was nice go- ing home for lunch. I got to watch my soaps. said Sabrina Rubio. The sudden break from closed campus lunches was not without it ' s problems. There were a few very minor accidents, but the biggest prob- lem was getting back to school on time. I thought it was great even though 1 re- ceived two tardies. Who ' s heard of com- ing back on time? said Emi Ramirez. Some students like juniors Pam Rickman and Wence Guiterrez felt that the condition for the off campus luch reward , which was to be present the whole month of Oc- tober, was too strict. I think they should at least allow us to leave on Friday all of the time if we are here all week, said Guiterrez. If a per- son was absent one day they still should ' ve been able to go. said Rickman. The whole purpose of the off campus lunch re- ward, of course, was to encourage students to attend school through- out the month of Octo- ber and regularly after that. The result led stu- dents to view school in a different light. It gave students a good reason to come to school, said Guiterrez. I actually had something else to look forward to besides 3:30. MUNCHING: Vanessa Chacon enjoys eating out at Whataburger on the days of open cam- pus. Whataburger at- tracts many high school students. LEAVING: Most people ate out on the open campus days. Some students chose to pick up the food and eat it where it wasn ' t so crowded. it OCTOBER ATTENDANCE CHECKING: Mr. Dunn checks the special passes that allow the stu- dents to leave for lunch. The spe- cial passes were distributed by the second period teachers. CRUNCH! Kim Kouches chooses to eat delicious french fries. No- vember 13 and 20 were designated as off campus lunch days. OCTOBER ATTENDANCE Pep rallies are for getting LOUD! It ' s 8 a.m. on a Fri- day morning in Octo- ber. The band, with the drums beating, leads the way to the gym for the pep rally. Al- though most of the stu- dent body didn ' t at- tend the weekly pep rallies, those who did, felt the excitement slowly creeping into their veins as they heard the band play. Fifties Day found JoAnn Stovall, princi- pal, serenaded by choir members, as they sang a medley of 50 ' s hits. The highlight of each rally was the class challenge as each class tried to out yell the oth- er in order to win the spirit banner. Arms were flying and people danced in competition for the banner. They help boost the morale of the team, said Michael Delesma, senior football player, of the pep rallies.The ex- citement that pulsates through the gym really gets the students pepped up. Pep rallies fire me up and get me ready for the game, Jason Gusman said. THE TWIST: Entertaining the school can be full of fun. Trent Green and Yolanda Brown of the Rockin ' Raiders dance the twist at the 50s day pep rally. LET ' S HEAR IT: During the early morning pep rally, the classes competed for the spirit banner. The freshmen tried hard and finally re- ceived the banner at the final pep rally. HOMECOMING: Celebrating the twentieth homecoming, a night pep rally was held at the track. All graduates were rec- ognized and several special guests were present. Football team members Richard DeLe- on,30, Alex Solis,24, and Donald Ramey, 15, enjoy the entertainment. PEP RALLIES CHEERING: At the pep ral- ly prior to the Alice game, the faculty formed a cheer- leading squad. Faculty mem- ber, Sheryl Roehl, was one of the special squad who performed. HUDDLE: The team was in a huddle, the captain at the head ... was a popular cheer in the faculty ' s day. The faculty cheerleaders gave a new twist to the cheer when they used Harry Mc- Cluskey, head football coach in the cheer. PEP RALLIES t When you least expect.. GOTCHA! Walking through the hallways, thinking you ' re alone, you get the urge to dance and sing softly to your- self. So you do it. Standing in front of the second floor hall mirror, you make faces that you ' d never make in front of anyone. Opps! All of a sudden you hear a click of a camera shutter. You ' re caught in that embarrassing stance by a yearbook photographer. That mo- ment is forever caught on film. There is no erasing what has already been done. Catching someone at an unexpected moment is always fun. We always seem to be doing amusing things, yet when caught, we are often a bit em- barrassed by what develops on film. I often sing to myself when I ' m alone in the hall, Kelly Amecke, jun- ior, said. I sometimes practice my cheers when I ' m somewhere and think that 1 am alone, said Kathy Muhlstein. We don ' t mind doing things that are amusing but we hate getting caught. My friends and I pass notes to each other in class, Mary Kay White, junior, said. My stuffy teacher read one to the class one time. Sometimes people read assign- ments aloud to themselves when they think they ' re alone. When they are caught, they sometimes feel as though the one who catches them thinks they are crazy. I sometimes read my English as- signments aloud, and some of my re- ports are so weird I ' d hate for anyone to hear me reading them ' Chrystal Wotipka said. Sometimes the teacher catches you doing something you ' re not sup- possed to be doing. During films I find it hard to stay awake so I catch a few zzz ' s, Broder- ick Harris, freshman said. WRONG BOOK: Karen Janak prefers reading A Flame in the Flowers instead of her ac- counting book. IB GOTCHA! GOTCHA: Sherri Tillmon enjoys making faces at herself when she thinks she is alone at the hall mirror. WHERE ' S THE DOOR?: Students often try and take advantage of substitute teachers. Brent Smiga and Darrin Wilson feel the need to enter the classroom through a window instead of a door while their regular teacher is absent. WAKE UP: On Monday morning students try to recover from weekend activitis. Morgan Ste- venson fmds it hard to stay awake during her first period class. GOTCHA! Ut ALWAYS a friend Tears course down her cheeks as she slammed the receiver down. No sooner than it hits the cradle, it is lifted again. Her fingers drum out the familiar digits of her best friend ' s num- ber. She is hurting and needs someone who cares. Knowing that you have a friend helps you get through the troubled times in your life. They help ease the pain of a hurting heart. A friend is someone to stick by you through every- thing, Vanessa Torres said. Many students have friends that they have known most of their lives. There is a very special bond on these types of friendships. I ' ve known Diane Cox since sixth grade, and I enjoy being around her. We share many of the same inter- ests, Margaret Marti- nez said. Being friends for an extended period of time has many privileges, for there is always someone to talk to and most im- portant, they can almost predict one ' s moods. My best friend and I have been friends for two years and last year FRIENDS: Hugging is al- ways lots of fun and a way to show a friend you care. Jeff Lack finds time to hug his friend Beth Heinold between classes. we found out we are cousins which brought us closer together, Lori Benitez said. Guys tend to treat their friends differently than girls. Girls seem to single out a single friend to share everything with. I consider all my friends equal. To me everyone is a best friend, Mark Garza said. Life seems to be sweeter with a friend. BUDDIES: Monica Luna and John Rodafte prove that :1 guys and girls can be best i, friends without havi ng it evolve into a serious relation- fei ship. rs ON THE PATIO: David Barth, Rae Williams, Kelly Arnecke, Danielle Warzecha and Colby Nagel visit on the pation before school begins. Students congregated on the patios any time class was not m session. ' • STUDENT LIFE Friends ■■t HELP: One of the most often asked questions is: Could you explain this? Lisa Janak ex- plains to Wendy Ward how to do some Biology homework. FRIENDS Time for THIRST: A cool chocolate milk is the perfect way to wash down a meal- Although most students perfer soda, Ronald Ramey enjoys the traditional carton of milk. LUNCH Lunchtime offers more than just a meal. It is a time to talk to the friends whom you ha- ven ' t seen in what seems like days, instead of maybe only a class period. It is a time to finish homework that was supposed to be completed at home the night before. It is also a time to relax and get ready to face the two or three hours, depending on your lunch schedule, that are left in the school day. Students have several options for lunch. Many bring their own from home, however most buy theirs from the caf- eteria, snack bar or can- dy machines. Until March a deli lunch in- cluding a sandwich of five meats, two cheeses, lettuce tomatoes and pickles and a bowl of soup was offered each Friday. I really liked it, Michelle Schaefer, said. It was nice to have a change in the menu, said Karey Janak. During the two lunch periods the juke box in the cafeteria is usually blaring with music. The walkways and patios are SNACK BAR: Courtney Arkadie decides to make her lunch selection from the out- side snack bar. The choices consisted of burritos, nachos, fries and hamburgers. EATING OUT: Rachel Ozuna likes to eat outside when the weather is nice. Students may eat in the cafeteria or at the lunch tables on the patios. Many enjoy eating on one of the many benches around campus. filled with people talk- ing, studying or just re- laxing and taking in the sun. The library will at- tract students who want to read the paper or their favorite magazine. They might even do some homework. No matter what one does, the 40 minute lunch pe- riod is a welcome break in the day. COST: Every student must face having to pay $1.10 for a hot lunch or hamburger. Alex Solis searches for his money to pay for his lunch. 1 7 TIME FOR LUNCH CUTTING IN: Students get tired of waiting half their lunch period in line, so ever ' once in a while they try to find a friend and cut in. Mrs. Metoyer, lunch monitor, ex- plain to Rodney Reed that cut- ting in line is not acceptable. 1 TIME FOR LUNCH GRADUATION memories The date is June 3. Ap- proximately 300 seniors and graduating juniors, caps and gowns securely in place, anxiously await their chance to walk down the aisle and receive their diploma. I ' m glad I ' m finally get- ting out of school. 1 didn ' t think I would make it, said Mark Humble. For some students grad- uating is just the culmina- tion of four years of work, whereas, for other students, such as David Barth, Graduating from Stroman has given me the cornerstone of a successful life. Although 1 will be sad to leave 1 look forward to the challenges I will face in ful- filling my dreams. All graduates eagerly awaited June 3, although their reasons for this excite- ment were greatly diversi- fied. I can ' t wait to graduate because then 1 don ' t have to stay up doing homework. I can spend my spare time with my family and my boy- friend, said Isabel Her- READY: Seniors Stephen Smolik, De Anna Cano, Robert Lopez, Lance Kouches, Tim Krejci, and Stephanie Padron gathered early behind the stands at Memorial Sta- dium before graduation began. They laughed, gossiped and mugged together for the last time as Stroman students. nandez. I ' m happy to be gradu- ating because I will be able to go on to bigger and better things, said Jeff Williams. Senior parties play and important role in graduation for many seniors. The best part about grad- uation is the parties, said Ruben Reyes. 1 will always remember all the fun times I had at the parties I attended for my fel- low graduates, said Jeff Williams. Whatever happens after graduation whether it ' s col- lege , a full-time job, or even marriage and a family, one thing is assured. Graduation is a time for MEMORIES. Being a Stroman gradu- ate has given me many memories, said Frankie Sanchez. FINAL TOUCH: A mother straightens her daughter ' s cap be- fore she lines up for graduation. The ceremony was helcf in Memo- rial Stadium. til GRADUATION RICHARD MATTHEW ROBERT JOHN BRIDGET MARY ESTER DE LEON KILGORE RAAZ Congratulations — WRIGHT Congratula- THOMPSON Congratula- tions MATA CONGRATULA- Congratul tions!

I don ' t care about the clothes you wear; it ' s the size of your heart not the length of your hair. — Suicidal Tendencies. Music is also very important to the Thrashers, who are in- deed called such be- cause of the style of mu- sic to which they listen. The music makes more sense to me than any other kind. It ' s real, John Coyle said. A major misconcep- tion about Thrashers is that they do drugs. Laura Jarrell rebukes this belief by saying, Thrashers don ' t care what people think of them and are not nec- essarily on drugs. A few people aren ' t quite sure what a thrasher is. Homer Escalante said, A ' thrasher ' is any of various new world songbirds of the genus Toxostoma, having a long tail, a long carved beak, and, in several species, a spotted breast. ' THRASH: or be thrashed — M.O.D. Michael Torres and Aileen Rugerio seem to have overcome the above stigma. SHS Groups According to Byron Leonard a rapper is someone who can chill. Although it is not always true, a rapper 44% 15% 8% 10% 10% 7% 6% Fri CIOO A ' rapper ' is . . . is usually black. James Callahan, who considers himself to be in no certain group, de- scribes a rapper as some guy who can ' t pass English but can make up a full rap song with perfect grammar in 10 minutes. Many people feel that to be a rapper you must have a good beat and the ability to make words rhyme. Others, like Candace Baird, feel that rappers need speech therapy. Nevertheless, rappers are fun to be around and listen to. PALS: Andra Thomas and Ronnie Barnes rap ' in the halls between classes. Raps were used to promote activ- ities over the public address system as well as class proj- ects. None I ' rep Kikker Itirasher Rapper Nu Wave Jock IL GROUPS FRIENDS 1 Friends reflect ATTITUDES GROOVY: Phyllis May looks as though she should be walking down a runway instead of a sidealk in this mod ensemble. KIKKING BACK: Billy Boop displays typical laid back ' Kikker ' attitudes in the Ag building. A ' kikker ' is According to Frank Motal a Kikker is a country boy. who chews ' Red Man ' , wears boots and strolls through cow manure all day to get them dirty. However, according to Shelley Melancon, a typical cowboy listens to country music, drives a truck, wears boots and a cowboy hat, and SPITS. Greg Westbrook de- scribes kikkers as people that throw a calf on the ground, wrap up its legs and signals ' touchdown. ' A ' Nu Waver ' is . . . While walking down the hall, your eyes travel to some exotic looking creatures known as Nu Wavers. ' Nu Wavers are best known for their eclectic way of dressing and their attitudes to- wards individuality. Michael Garcia ex- presses one such convic- tion when he said, I re- ally like to dress according to the way I feel. I don ' t care if some- one doesn ' t like what I ' m wearing. Music is a very impor- tant part of a Nu Wa- ver ' s life. ' Nu Wavers ' express their individuality through their manner of dressing and dancing so freely, said Rachel Thomas. GROUPS FRIENDS It A night OUT It ' s about 8:30 p.m. and you are impatiently awaiting the arrival of your company for the night. I usually leave my house about 8 p.m. or 8:30 p.m., said Wendy Ward. That gives me enough time to really enjoy myself. Everyone has his or her favorite places to go. Whether it ' s to the mov- ies, bowling or just out to eat with a friend, there are always places to go! Some enjoy stay- ing at home and talking on the phone or spend time with that special someone, but most pre- fer being around a crowd. Lately I just stay home and watch televi- sion with my family or TICKETS: Vanessa Chacon, Stacy Swayze, Julia Arguelles, and Georgia Villarreal buy movie tickets at the Playhouse. Movie tick- ets have increased this year from $3.50 to $4.00. boyfriend, said Lisa Bomba. Parties are usually popular places to go when you want to hang out with friends and be around good mu- sic. I like to party wher- ever the music is right, said Mary Vasquez. Prices are usually af- fordable at most local dances, so many stu- dents find that enjoya- ble. The Texas Armadil- lo Band and Drifters dances usually draw the best crowds. Going to a Drifters dance means having fun with my friends and still being able to afford eat- ing somewhere after- wards, said Lydia Pedraza. Some feel that friends and noise is okay but would rather spend time alone with a special friend. When I want to spend an entertaining night out with my girl- friend, I go to the mov- ies because it ' s fun and not noisy, said Michael Torres. So whether it ' s to the quiet movies or to a noisy party, you can al- ways find lots of fun on a night out. STRIKE: Christina Gonzales enjoys bowl- ing when she goes out. Most students go to Century Lanes because of the convenient com- puterized score keepers. til A NIGHT OUT + 8URGERS: Everybody, induci- ng Michael Monroy, Jeremy Bil- eauci and Jim Moss, finds time during the night to eat. Burger ing tends to always draw a n-Qwd because of its late hours. HANGING OUT: Many just simply hang out on the strip for entertainment. Here Kristi McCray, Bobby Green, Darrell Bates, Kimberly Hill, Jodi Carter, and Thad Small hang around on the Houston Highway. WALKING: Walking the mall is also a fa- vorite pastime at night or weekends. Because the mall closes at 9 p.m., many meet there and then go out to other events. Brenda Es- trada, Vanessa Chacon and Priscilla Navarro shop at the mall. A NIGHT OUT WORKING Sinking into a com- fortable bed after a long day at school and work is all he can think about. Suddenly he remembers the stack of school books that hasn ' t been touched. This student and many others go to a full day of school and then on to a job. Work- ing late hours and then returning home to find homework is just anoth- er part of their routine. Six classes and then a job makes for a tight schedule, but reflects both positive and neg- ative aspects. The favor- able aspect is the money earned, whereas the un- favorable is the lack of sleep. It is hard to get enough sleep and get up the next morning and face school, said Cyn- thia Hernandez, junior. CHANGE: Working at a toy m store can be interesting. Fred ; Garcia takes time to count out ■ i the change for Zara Rodriguez. FAST FOOD: Working at a fast food restaurant requires a good memory as well as speed. Melissa Rodriguez closes the box as she gets ready to call out the number of the order. Many students find jobs working in fast food res- taurants. JOn the job Time is a major factor involved in holding a job and going to school. Even with 24 hours in a day, several students consider it a small amount in a combined school work situation. I have very little time to myself, Theresa Wil- kinson, junior, said. The day is filled, from the moment you wake up until you go to bed, Keith Schumann, said. Valuable experience is obtained from the pres- sure and devotion need- ed to hold down a job and school. This instills within a person the ability to cope with whatever the future may bring, Shannon Horton, se- nior, said. What is learned for working hard is remem- bered for life. School, extra curric- ular activities, and work provide a tremendous challenge, Schumann said. But when accom- plished, it shapes a well- rounded person pre- pared for the future. ON THE JOB LLil. At 3:30 p.m. the last bell of the day rings and drones of kids flood the halls. The different per- sonalities stand out through the clothes they wear. Stereotypes, such as kikkers, preps, punks, and thrashers are obvious through their style of dress. Fashion is one ' s own individual style, Curtis Moyer, junior said. Fashion is this and more. Fashion is a passing fad, Sarah Hammack, junior, said. It is the way you dress, your hair style, what you eat and what you say. POPULAR: Scott Adams en- joys the laid back look of Country. Because many stu- dents live outside the city lim- its, this look is very popular. Making a statement in FASHION S I i This year ' s fads have included the comeback of the mini skirt, cropped tops and acid washed jeans. Leggins, ankle boots and black and white checked clothing also invaded the fashion scene. I like to go shop- ping, Cynthia Ortega said. I try the things that appeal to me, not necessarily what ' s ' in ' . I like winter clothes, Elsa Garcia said, especially sweat- ers. The winter season did encouragae the sweater fashion. Turtleneck sweaters became espe- cially popular. The best part of my wardrobe is my old ten- nis shoes, David Barth said. Most people simply prefer the most comfort- able clothing that they own. 1 wear what 1 feel like, what I can be the most comfortble in, Amanada Gonzales, se- nior, said. ADIDAS: Daryl Bates feel at ease in his Adiaas jogging suit. Most students wear comfort- ble, casual outfits to school. Fashion ' In ' s ' Mini skirts Denims — stone washed or acid washed Ankle boots Coca Cola products Cropped tops Guess products Llh,- making a fashion statement MAKING A FASHION STATEMENT On the MOVE! Cars, trucks, motorcy- cles and even skateboards — those were the alternatives to riding the bus to school. Most students look for- ward to having their own wheels to get to school, but many have to rely on the wheels of their parents. Since I had to stay late for band or news- paper, Chris Saenz, junior, said, my mom or dad would have to come get me when I was finished at school. On the i ost part, jun- iors and seniors are the ones with the cars. However, if they are ex- periencing car trouble, they, too, must depend on the bus, a friend or their parents. When I had trouble with my truck, Kimber- ly Evans, senior, said, I had to use my mother ' s car or she would have to take me to school. All vehicles had to have a parking sticker, which cost $1.00, in or- der to use the parking lots. This enabled ad- ministrators to make sure cars parked on campus belonged there. Most of the student vehicles were older models, although some were newer smaller cars. It didn ' t matter to me what I drove, Randy Parkan, senior, said. It was a car. HELP: Jim Moss and Thomas Ponton join in the effort to re- start Kimberly Evan ' s car. Th e cost of care and upkeep of a car often cause many students to invest a great percentage of , their incomes in their cars. ICE: Melissa Duenez pours hot water on the windshield of her car in order to melt the ice that formed overnight. Many students found layers of ice on their cars that were parked outside this past winter. til ON THE MOVE SEARCHING: Michael Torres searches through his bag while waiting for a ride. Many students carpool to and from school to conserve gasoline as well as keep from riding the bus. READY TO GO: Chris Filla squeezes into his car after scnool in a rush to get home. Many students have things to do after school but can ' t find enough time in the day for everything. LEARNING: Many students take Drivers Educti on class during the fall semester of high school. Students must be 15 in order to register for the class. ON THE MOVE tt I. PRACTICE makes perfect! For most students in extra curricular activi- ties, practicing takes time. Depending on the event, practice can take up as much as two hours a week to four hours a day. This may or may not interfere with school work. Not really, said Melody Rivera. 1 made the honor roll. Then there are those that have to study until all hours of the night in order to keep their av- erages up. Getting home from football real late makes me unable to do homework until late, said Kelly Arnecke. Keeping up grades is very important. Because of House Bill 72 all stu- dents are required to maintain at least a 70 in every class to participate in extra curricular activ- ities. Many advisors keep this in mind there- fore giving the partici- pants study time on cer- tain days and by also releasing them early on special days. During football the extra study time before practice really helped, said Ronald Ramey. In order to get better, practice is definately necessary. It can be fun at times and also not so fun. In band, marching in the hot sun isn ' t so fun, said Dehlia Ramos. All of the practicing pays off though. Whether practicing for Raider Belles, band, choir, or athletic sports, the reward comes when you actually compete. Remember the say- ing, Practice makes per- fect! READING: Members of theatre need time to practice on their own. Lane Warrington reads over her work while sit- ting outside of the dra- ma room. PERCUSSION: The percussion sections spends many extra hours practicing before and af ter school. The band gained a new as- sistant director, Steve Hufford, who mainly works with the percus- sion section. PRACTICE STRINGS: The orches- tra also puts in many hours of practice. Mr. Michael Grinnell guides Rachel Walters and Me- lissa Rendon in practic- ing the cello. RAQUETS: Tennis is a sport many are in to, but practice also comes with it. Siri Skolmi, a foreign exchange student, prac- tices in the afternoon out on the courts. TWIRLING: Twirling is important to the band ' s performance so practice is a must. Wendy Ward practices her twirling on the track to ensure a good performance. PRACTICE tt M Aiiiii Gi ve it your best shot! That ' s what we always hear right before we go on stage — whether to sing, dance, play in an important game or compete in an academic contest. Per- formance. We work hard every day just for the thrill of that word. We were really ex- cited when we won sweepstakes in band, said Angle Tucker, jun- ior. Mr. Kelley was dancing on the table in the restaurant and an- nounced it to all the people around us. Whether it is a concert for the public or a speech in front of judges really doesn ' t matter. The butterflys start fly- ing early. Basically, the way we perform says a lot about us. So we meet the chal- lenge. Challenge oJ PERFORMANCES WRANGLERS: The Wran- glers cheered at some of the girls and boys basketball games. The Wranglers serve as a pre-drill team and are allowed to tryout for Raider Belles after completing a year of Wranglers. PERFORMAf ' OSING: The Raider elles perform at all foot- all games. Holding the 1st position after a high ick routine are Tammy Jovak, Shay Kuykendall, ;risti McCray, and Janet lernandez. FEATURING: A special feature of the perfor- mance by the choir was a song sung to Mrs. Stovall by Charles Mar- shall. The choir always performs during the 50 ' s Day pep rally featuring the Super Sixteen. PERFORMANCE ■.K-y -iu. wfim A oil A of constructio: From the first day of school, students have been serenaded by the strange whining and moanirig of the road machinery. Driv- ing beside and around the machines can be quite in- timidating to some drivers while others are leary of the sharp dropoff on Ben Wilson Street. Sometimes it feels as though I ' m going to drive off the side, said Shannon Horton, senior. The narrow torn up roads are hazardous, espe- cially when it rains. My truck slid off the road into the mud . . . luck- ily it didn ' t get stuck, said Chris Saenz, junior. The roads also became an excuse for tardiness for students such as Nicole Minatre. I ' m sorry I was late but I had to go all the way around the school be- cause the roads were blocked, she said. Due to the work disrupt- ing Stroman ' s atmosphere, the school received a favor for the patience, a new widened drive and parking lot. The spaces in front of the school are alotted for certain teachers, office workers and visitors. The work on North Street is completed, however the work on Ben Wilson will not be completed until Oc- tober, 1988.

One group of friends celebrated birthdays once a month at Casa Ole. We usuallly reserve a room at Casa Ole and chip in to pay for the birthday people ' s din- ners, said Kelly Arnecke, junior. Many reasons cause celebrations. Winning the big game calls for a party at the ever-faithful Mr. Gatti ' s. Valentine ' s Day saw the central of- fice so full of balloons, candy and flowers that numbers were issued to students so that they could pick up their ar- rivals.

PREPARING: Student Council members Carol Chapa and Wendy Ward pre- pare the refreshments for the Homecoming dance. The dance, Fiesta La Bamba , was successful, having the largest attendance ever. S ' Lir HOMECOMING S ' waJ WP S HOMECOMING A week of fun Just when you thought Stroman was a normal school and everyone was just the same as everyone else . . . Homecoming week came along. People were heard singing La Bamba through the halls more than ever, since it was the theme for the dance. The traditional Homecoming dress-up days added to the excite- ment. Kid Day started the week off and everyone dug out their old toy trucks and baby dolls. Tuesday was a bit confusing as there was a mixture of nerds and college T- shirts roaming through the halls. Some students complained of see- ing double only to realize it was Twin Day on Wednesday. Thursday featured La Bamba Day to help everyone get in the homecoming mood. Friday was good old Blue and Gold Day as everyone sported the colors of their favorite school. A special pep rally, sponsored by the Academic Booster Club, was held Thursday evening at the track to mark the twentieth homecoming celebration. Alumni from the 20 graduating classes were special guests and were introduced. With the aid of the faculty and parent cheerleaders, they led the crowd in cheers. Members of the first faculty and Ted Reed, first principal, were honored and lit the 20 candles on the gigantic Stroman S birthday cake. Faculty members who were on the first faculty are Claudia Eckel, Novline Jowell, Royce Buesing, Beverly McCoy, Esther Caddell, Joyce Slone, Janice Haynes, Dwayne Wilkinson, Margaret Scar- borough and Mary Ann Parker. The band played as the drill team performed and the cheerleaders led the crowd in several cheers. Stu- dents from Patti Welder Interme- diate School, Hopkins Magnet School, Juan Linn Magnet School and O ' Connor Elementary School presented posters to the football team. These posters were used to decorate Memorial Stadium the night of the game. Special guest speaker was Mr. Reed, who brought the students and former students to their feet when he spoke of Raider Pride and exclaimed, Once a Raider, al- ways a Raider! Former Stroman footbaU player and now reporter for NewsCenter 25, Jeff Williams, ignited the entire crowd with his pep talk. Don Brubaker, sports editor of New- sCenter 25, also let the crowd in a cheer. Representatives of all the organ- izations competed in the beat the Buc contest, however the football team moved in to clobber the pi- rate-shaped pinata. Homecoming king and queen nominees and their parents were introduced. Nonunees for king in- cluded Richard DeLeon, Arthur El- lis, Homer Escalante, Jeff Lack and Trent Weber. Queen nominees in- cluded Lisa Bomba, Nicole Mathis, Michelle Schaefer, Mindy Steinenger and Crystal Wotika. To close the pep rally the crowd, with flashlights in hand, joined to- gether to sing the school alma ma- ter. The band then led a snake dance to the east patio where eve- ryone devoured the birthday cake. During the homecoming ceremo- ny, held prior to the game on Fri- day, Homer Escalante and Nicole Mathis were crowned king and queen. Cheered on by the crowd, the football team defeated Corpus Christi Miller, 25-16. The dance was held Saturday in the cafeteria and was sponsored by the Student Council. Music was provided by Dr. Toons. Entertain- ment included the breaking of pinatas. With over 700 students at- tending, this year ' s dance was the largest ever, according to Andrea Wise, Student Council sponsor.

The ABC Club bought a juke box for the students ' pleasure before and after school as well as during both lunch periods.

The class had to come to school looking like old people in order to under- stand how it feels to be old. IN FULL LIFE H.

Everydme the words, Guess what? are ut- tered, a collective sigh rises above the chatter of class. What are you selling? I don ' t like selling stuff to make money, said Stacy Taylor. In GOAL club we are using the money we earn for a new air con- ditioner for the dressing room and a new stereo, said Demetria Wyatt. We ' ve sold ads, yearbooks, and bumper stickers in order to raise money for the year- book, said Theresa Wilikinson. Sometimes students enjoy selling things but sometimes it becomes a real hassel. It depends on what we are selling, said Nikki Barnes. OOD: Nicole Mathis, herry Tillmon, Tamica ranklin, and Sandra jhnson serve at a Mex- can dinner sponsored by FTA. FTA had dif- ferent fund raisers dur- ing the year in order to make money to attend the state convention. SPIRIT: Michael Montez along with oth- er student council mem- bers sold spirit links for five cents. Each class had a certain color strip and there was a contest held to see which class sold the most. aiuh MONEY 4J£ m SING ALONG: Charles Mar- shall and Ricky Odom, jun- iors, enjoy all kinds of music, from rap to serious. The All State Cnoir members enjoy the juke box during lunch. As the cold winds race through the campus, stu- dents walk briskly toward the cafeteria doors. Some of the students even run. Perhaps the cold weather is getting to them, or may- be they are just anxious to hear the booming music produced by the jukebox. The Academic Booster Club purchased the juke- box to give the students a place to talk, do homework and listen to music while making them feel at home. We want to make eve- ryone feel like they belong and feel comfortable, JUKE box hit with student: Linda Ward, ABC treasur- er, said. According to assistant principal, Eddie Rendon, the only problems con- cerning the jukebox was the the students turn the volume up too loud. Overall, the majority of the students like the idea of having a jukebox. I think it is a good idea; it adds spice to lunch, Leslie Thigpen said. Some students don ' t agree because the jukebox doesn ' t contain the type of music they want to hear. The music selected is di- vided up into four sections — 30% rock or pop, 30% country, 20% Spanish, and 20% rhythm and blues. The jukebox contains no heavy metal music be- cause it was preferred by the parents that it not con- tain distracting or unac- ceptable music, Jo Ann Stovall, principal, said. She agreed that harder, more agressive music, such as heavy metal, might spoil the study habits of some students. Although the majority of the students like having music to listen to, some feel the same as junior Arndra Thomas. I think it ' s a good idea, but it needs some up-to- date music! The jukebox played con- stantly and averaged at least 80 to 90 songs played each day. Two songs could be played for 25 cents. The proceeds from the jukebox is used for various activ- ities involving students and their parents. Some of the money was used to print the student directo- ries and to pay for the first after-school party. Some students believe that the jukebox has improved the school ' s atmosphere and the way they feel towards school. It gives the cafeted more at home atml sphere, John Paul Wa ckle, junior, said. I think it has united and has brought new life I the attitudes of the stl dents, Grace Barrera, ju| ior, said. The jukebox was aJ proved because we al proud of the student bocj and how they ha progressed and by the w they take care of otl school, Mrs. Stovall saic it RHYTHM: Rodney Reed feels the beat of the song. Stu- dents often gathered around the cafeteria jukebox and moved to the beat. LET ' S HEAR . . .: Michelle Schaefer, Stephanie Janak and Crystal Wotipka look over the nev selections add- ed to the jukebox. New records were added period- ically. HOW ABOUT . . .: Diane Mar- tinez, Wendy Eggert and Beata Nelson decide which song to play. SELECT: Lisa Bomba depos- its her quarter and makes her selection on the jukebox. Soft rock and country were the most popular music during lunch. I JUKE BOX i Working TOGETHE It ' s like a family. We always hear that about Stroman. Everyone works together for the good of the school. Various clubs and organizations take care of the flower bed . Faculty members go out of their way to help students through tutoring and enjoy showing their support at student activities. As a reward for perfect attendance during October, students with no absenses were allowed to eat lunch off campus for two differ- ent days. The ABC Club bought a juke box for the cafeteria for the use of the students. The custodians keep the campus clean. In fact the school won an award for having the cleanest cam- pus. Virginia Cowen, librari- an, opened the library on Wednesday nights for the convenience of the stu- dents. Academic excellence is encouraged. Encourag- ing success is stressed by everyone at our school. ROCKIN ' RAIDERS: Ursula Johnson and Yolanda Brown jam to the hip music of the 50s at the 50s Day pep rally.

The Key lub has joined in and ?ven highlighted the :urrent trend of doing for others by sponsor- ng Toys for Tots. They also take time to visit and take gifts to the res- idents at the nursing homes. I liked bagging gifts for the elderly peo- ple in the nursing homes, said Jennifer Rayburn. It gave me a feeling of accomplish- ment. Student Council did their part in November when sponsoring the Thanksgiving food drive. It made me feel good inside knowing I was helping needy fami- lies at Thanksgiving, said Shannon Orsak. Key Club and Student Council both went car- oling during the Christ- mas season. The less fortunate families of Victoria were happy to see smiling faces as they sang and handed out candy canes. I enjoyed caroling because I got to meet lots of new peo- ple, said Melody Rive- ra. Key Clubbers gave up a couple of Saturdays to go play bingo at the nursing home. Key Clubbers nor- mally find it rewarding to help others instead of being selfish, said Mr. Griffith, sponsor. Key Clubbers live by the moto Caring and are living out their theme For friendships sake. Many other clubs and individuals on campus do things to help others. Doing for others is a prime way to gain self satisfaction and help others at the same time. BEAUTIFYING: Victor Gomez and James Copeland beautify our campus by weeding a flower bed.

Homework is the first priority. I always do it first so 1 don ' t have to worry about it. However, homework may take up a lot of time, but she also finds time to participate in many other activities. Throughout high school she played basketball and ran track. She served on the Student Council all four years and served as chaplain her sophomore year. A three year member of National Honor Society, she served as vice pre- sient. In her non-school re- lated activities, she has been a member of 4-H for 10 years. She was selected to attend the National 4-H Congress in Chicago. As a junior she advanced with her science project to the National Science Fair in Puerto Rico. Although school is very important to her, it has never really in- terrupted me from hav- ing fun, that ' s a major priority also. AWARDS PICNIC Friday, May 13, turned out to be quite a lucky day for students who received academic awards. For the first time, the annual awards picnic was hosted by DuPont at the company park. Those students who were recognized at the awards ceremony at the Victoria Community Center were allowed to spend the day at Du- Pont. Activities, such as horseshoes to frisbee to volleyball, were held throughout the day. However, the see-saws and the swings never had a lonely moment the entire day. Faculty member, Carolyn Dornak organized sev- eral relay type games along with the usual egg and water balloon toss. Lunchtime finally came and everyone en- joyed the barbecue and watermelon. By 3 p.m. most eve- ryone was ready to get back to school so they could go home and rest after a long day at play.

SALUTATORIAN eu KICKOFF: Cathy Barela kicks off for the Wildcj at the Powder Puff football game at Memoil Stadium. POWDER puff football garni i What is this? It appears to be either a contest to determine who can throw the football the shortest distance or an in- credibly wimpy form of the exhilarating game we all know as football. Even the cheerleaders are strange. Talk about masculine cheerleaders, someone needs to take a lawnmower after their legs. On Monday, May 16, the powder puff football game was played. Coach Ken- neth Parker and Coach Brian Emerson were in charge of the two teams for the full extent of the game, mediating and throwing flags on plays. The girls played their hearts out, said Coach Parker. It was fun and interesting , said Er- icca Perez. You should not go out for a team unless you are prepared to get a few bumps and bruises, said Rae Williams. There were some minor injuries on the field as in most football games. My favorite part about being a powder puff football player was the thrill of running up and down the field to chase an op- ponent and throw them to the ground, said Rae Williams. All during the game the cheerleaders were busy contributing support to the teams and getting the crowd involved. Shannan Fisher admitted, It was fun acting crazy in front of everybody. Each spectator seemed to be enjoying himself, watching the excitement of the game and the antics of the cheerleaders. The things that have come from the game are very positive, said Bronwyn Avery. The onlookers would more than likely agree. After what seemed to be a stale- mate the Freshman-Senior team defeat- ed the Sophomore-Junior team with a score of 8-0. The cheerleaders consisted of: Curtis Tait, Head Cheerleader; Chris Escalante, Shannan Fisher, Brad Fred- erick, Paul Fuentez, Michael Fullbright, Troy Starkey, and Zane Steininger. WINNING TEAM: The senior and freshman team was victorious in the second annual Powder Puff football game at Memorial Stadium. Both teams played well and everyone loved the cheerleaders.

Although this true in some cases, in most cases, geting on someone ' s good jle depends upon your first impression. This can be attributed to ree main factors: facial expressions, verbal expressions, and mnerisms. These three essential elements can be helpful for positive pressions, but the lack of one can damage a person socially less you quickly correct it. The single most obvious element of ving a good first impression is your facial expression. A person who frowns all the time can quickly turn a person off. No one like to be around people who always complain. Verbal expressions, such as What ' s up? and That ' s life! will turn off some people because it gets old quickly. Speaking of improper grammar, vulgarity is the biggest verbal tumoff. No one should have to curse or make nasty, indecent gestures toward anyone to get their attention. We should remember to be an original, ourselves. We shouldn ' t try to imitate someone because we will only end up making afool of ourselves and earning a bad reputation.

Do you feel like you ' re going crazy waiting for the bell to ring? Does a minute feel like an hour? If you tend to get bored in class, there are several ways to occupy your time until class is over. One way to occupy your time is to see who is wearing what. For example, check to see what shoes people are wearing. Try to determine where they got them and how much they paid for them. You could also look around a nd see how others are dressed. You can determine who is in fashion or out-of-date. Another way to pass the time is to doodle on paper or figure out how to do different tricks with pencils or papers. Try drawing wacky designs or pictures. Passing notes to neighbors is also a great way to make conversation without disturbing others around you. Writing letters to friends outside of class makes time go a little faster. You can try to do tricks with your pencil by thinking of ways to twirl it or flipping it off the table. There are many other ways to consume much of your boring class time, some of which do not require much energy, such as twirling your hair, cleaning your nails, and sleeping. Others require little energy, but require some thought, like day dreaming and talking. So, if you yawn, feel you ' re going crazy, or your minute s pass by like hours, try these few tips or create something new for yourself to do. You ' ll notice time will pass by quicker and maybe even a little more exciting. MONICA LUSTER, 11 PEOPLE Martinez-Martinez BIO Rose Marie Martinez 10 1 Vera Martinez 1 1 i .

Paula Mitte Art $10,000 grant Teachers receive award Laurie Bauer, science teacher, and Lois KuykendalL math teacher, were one of the 42 teams in the United States to be selected to receive $10,000 grant. However, since Mrs. Bauer moved out of state, she had to decline the grant. Evelyn Sheeran, physical science teacher, was selected to take her place. We spent approximately 50 hours of time outside of the school day writ- ing this proposal and all other forms requested by GTE, Mrs. Bauer said. The grant was broken down into four areas. $5,000 was divided be- tween each teacher to go back to school to further their education. I am planning to use the money to enroll at Victoria College to take both math and education courses. Along with this, I will be going to EPCOT in Florida to take courses offered by the University of Florida, said Mrs. Kuykendall. Mrs. Bauer was planning on using her money to enroll in chemistry and physics courses and also go to the National Science and Mathematics convention. It ' s really ironic that Mrs. Bauer did all the work, and I was the one who gets to use the grant, Mrs. Sheeran. She is planning to use part of the money for courses in physics and chemistry. The other part of the mon- ey will be used to go to NASA and Epcot in Florida. The rest of the money will be used to purchase science and math sup- plies and equipment such as a com- puter, image writer, computer soft- ware, ascilliscope, and steam engines. Because the enrollment of math and science courses have dropped, Mrs. Bauer and Mrs.Kuykendall de- cided to do something about it. Mrs. Kuykendall and I decided to apply for the grant to help stu- dents get ' turned on to both math and science, ' Mrs. Bauer said. They came up with the idea of project Operation SAVEM — Sci- ence Application Verifying Every- day Mathematics. Operation SAVEM will focus on the at risk ' student and try to en- courage the student to stay in school. It is based on the dropout rate of 30% of 1,460 students in the last five years. The program will allow the students to build their confidence, knowledge, and self- esteem through hands on activities in both math and science. Since the largest percentage of dropouts oc- cur between the freshman and sophomore years, the program will address the fundamental concepts for mathematics and introductory physical science classes. The teachers hope to increase stu- dent achievement in freshman and sohomore years and then increase the number of students in upper level courses.

USING COMPUTERS lit ' I Advanced placement class offers credit During the senior year in high school the most predominant thought on every student ' s mind is the future. College is a choice that many students consider. The preparation for this choice can now be found in the newly developed Advanced Placement Honors English program. This program involves college level work in which students can be tested out of college hours. Mrs. Barbara McLaughlin teaches the AP classes 3rd and 4th periods. It is a good learn- ing experience in preparation for college, even if a student decides not to take the AP Test, said Mrs. Mc Laughlin. The class is actually a combination of the Gifted and Talented Classes and the Advanced Placement pro- gram. The Gifted and Talented portion of class encourages the development of creativity whereas the AP program con- centrates on literature and writ- ing. 1 enjoyed this course, re- marked Chrystal Wotipka, It will really help me in college. Monett Mooney agreed, The people make this class interest- ing. The atmosphere is differ- ent from most classes. Interpre- tation of the materials studied allows the students to form per- sonal opinions and share them with others. It challenges the intellect of those in class pre- paring for college, said Camer- on Mc Bean. It is a relaxing atmosphere but it really has helped my composition writ- ing, comrfients Julie Arambula. If college is in your future, the AP class is highly recommend- ed. It ' s a fun class. I enjoyed taking it, said Diane Cox, I ' m glad I did.

Taking this class has helped me im- prove my writing. We think things out ourselves; we interpret what we read instead of be- ing told. Mark Collins, planning on attending UT. STUDYING: Stepha- nie Janak, Kimberly Quinn, Mary Mata, and Amanda Gonzales take advantage of a beauti- ful day as they combine efforts for English class. Group work often helps students learn more and develop good peer relations. SAILING: Keith Schu- mann displays his act- ing ability as a pirate in AP English, the AP English course requires student to search their creative minds. AP CLASSES tet Lab classes offer hands on learning School isn ' t all books. A va- riety of lab classes are offered. These classes give students a chance to cast their books aside and use a little creative thinking. Students can experiment with new ideas and apply these meth- ods using their hands. A lab class is categorized by most students as a science class where experiments are per- formed. However, science is just one of the variety of these types of classes. Experiments in science give students a chance to be on their own. Instead of the teacher telling the student the answer, the stu- dent is able to discover that an- swer for himself, said Al Haisler, Chemistry I and Phys- ical Science teacher. Art is classified as a lab class according to J ' Nil Jackson and Paula Mitte, art teachers. Students learn an apprecia- tion of the arts in this problem- solving class, said Mrs. Jackson. Lane Warrington, senior, knows what she will pursue af- ter high school because of her lab class. Art class has helped me decide that I want to go into advertising. The number of lab classes is surprising. It seems like most of them wouldn ' t be in this cat- aegory, such as drama, band, and choir. Others include typing and word processing, physical education, athletics, photojournalism, yearbook, newspaper, and computer class- es. f PHOTO LAB: Aileen Ruge. : and Jon Hill proof some cc« tact sheets for thtt photojournalism class.

Cathy Drabek LAB CLASSES Itt LEARNING PROJECTS Learning can be easy when the assignments are fun, yet challenging. Projects offer this alternative. Several teachers feel that students have a better at- titude about learning when they are given projects to do while studying a certain chapter. Throughout the year students embark on many exciting and challenging projects. From per- forming skits in front of the class to dressing as an older person, these projects are found to be pleas- urable and most often comical. Ms. Joyce Slone ' s economic class- es were assigned at Christmas to write and sing a song using the words and concepts of certain chapters to the tune of a Christmas car- ol. A wide variety of amusing songs were performed in front of the entire class. Ms.Judy Linville also had her American History classes per- form in class. Her objective was to make learning about the last frontier fun and easy. The stu- dents portrayed miners, farmers, Indians, cowboys, and ranchers by building tepees, a school house, wagons, windmills. INTERESTING: Zandra Buitr learns the ups and downs e perienced by old people. Beind member of Ms. Slone ' s psyche ogy class, many unusual and i teresting projects are performe stores, and a saloon — an enti| town! Each project representee chapter concerning the Wes ward movement and charact ized the conflicts of the Whi man and the Indians. Many other exceptional pn ects are pursued by students all classes. From Math to Fren classes, teachers always seem find interesting as well as ucational ways to teach their le sons. I enjoy doing project They are a fun way to learn said Michelle Schaefer. It Hj projects CLOWNING: Cindy Wagner clowns around in Mrs. McLaughlin ' s English class. Cindy is participat- ing in one of the many projects as- signed by Mrs. McLaughlin. POINTING: Janie Pena takes the time to point out the point of inter- est on the diagram. Many math classes also do special projects through- out the year. PERFORMING: The ever popular California Raisins entertain the stu- dents in Mrs. McLaughlin ' s class. The Raisins are characters that promote the sell- mg of raisins and are known for their entertaining commercials. ATTRACTION: Ms. Slone ' s psy- chology classes study the behav- iors of children and adults. Louise Lopez and her baby were the main attraction in the class. I enjoy They are learn. Michelle Schaefer doing projects, a fun way to STEALING: Bad guys Robert Rutledge, Rodney Leonard, Ronald Ramey, and Aileen Rugerio are using skills learned in their French I class by performing a bank robbery. The French classes are usually held responsible for performing dialogues in the class. PROJECTS JLV Vocational programs wort hand in hand with academic} Although requirements have changed in order to enroll in the vocational work program, un- dergraduates may still enroll in vocational classes at the Career Development School. Students attend the CDS in blocks of two or three hours. Until this year both juniors and seniors could enroll in DE- CA, HERO, and VOE programs. Now the classes are only open to seniors. Vocational clases at the CDS expose the students at a younger age to various trade skills, in- cluding general construction, auto mechanics, welding, food service, electrical trades and auto body repair. AUTO MECHANICS: Students learn to repair all types of vehicles during this class. Keith Fredericks, teacher, assists Michael Watts, Dean Kline and Jack Riv- ers in learning how to figure measure- ments of car engines on the computer. I really like my class, Gina Valadez said. We learn how to properly prepare food. The work programs expose the students to the working world at an early age. The students are getting a headstart in finding out what carreer they are interested in, Emil Svatek, Distributive Edu- cation teacher said. Requirements of vocational classes are that one must attend a vocational class for an hour in the morning and at least work 15 hours per week in an on-the-job training program. Getting out of school half a day is one of the benefits of be- ing in a vocational co-op class. But vocational classes are not all just fun and games since one must still do homework once off the job. AUTO BODY CLASS: Students learn how to paint and repair cars as well as safety procedures. Paul Salazar and An- thony Koehl tape a car in preparation to paint it. VOCATIONAL EDUCATI CLEAN UP: Part of the job of food man- agement students is to learn how to clean up as well as how to prepare food for a restaurant. Arron Chilcoat and Marie Rendon sanitize the griddle at least two to three times a week. FOOD SERVICE: In class, students train to work in a restaurant. Important train- ing includes following safety procedures, cooking, serving and handling custom- ers. Gina Valadez practices running the fountain drinks. 1 WELDING: During the two hour long welding class, students learn to use different types of equipment for various jobs. Frank Rodriguez cuts a piece of metal us- ing a torch. I really like gen- eral construction class because we learn things we will always be able to use. Jonathan Holcomb VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IE£ TOMORROW Procrastination As the sun slowly sinks below the ho rizon heralding the close of yet another day, the school books that have lain untouched in a corner since 3:45 p.m., sud- denly bekon to the student whose after school activities do not include homework. 1 al- ways say I ' ll do it later and I don ' t. said Jennifer Laughaun.

The response to compete in UIL was incredible. Enough students signed up and trained for the various categories to have at least two competitors each. The various teams, including speech, journalism, ready writing, spelling, calculator applications, number sense, shorthand, typewrit- ing, accounting, science, literary criticism and one-act play practiced especially throughout the spring. One-act play participants practiced evry Tuesday and Thursday for six weeks and for three days during spring break. They learned how to work with fellow crew and cast members in the production of the play. Stroman hosted the district meet on March 26. Peter Matl placed sec- ond in calculator applications and Eva Gonzales placed third in news writing. Both students competed on the regional level at UTSA. Other winners on the district level were Shelley Melalncon, sixth in feature writing; Lisa Janak, fifth in ready writing; Toke Mayes, fourth, and Kelly Burns, fifth in typing. In one-act play, Michael Ful- bright. Homer Escalante, Keith Schumann and Chris Escalante were nominataed for Honorable Mention All Star Cast. Michelle Eddleman was nominated to the Zone All Star RELAXING: Sarah Hammack, Ericca Perez and Wendy Eggert take a break in between rounds of competition at the practice UIL meet at Westwood High School in Austin. ' Attending practice meets are important, Blanche Ruelas, typing coach, said. It helps to prepare the students because they get an idea of what to expect at a real meet. Cast. The team competed at a practice meet at Austin Westwood High School. The school was packed with cometitors from 42 other high schools. Peter Matl placed third in calculator applicataion and Debbie Jaeger placed third in editorial writ- ing. Kyuana Barnes also placed third in dramatic interpretation (solo act). Melissa Heinold placed fourth in lit- erary criticism and Lou Ann Chavez placed fifth in shorthand. As the district contest became closer and closer, practice became more important. UIL is just like any sport. It takes practice, Jo Ann Stovall, principal, said. Each event requires its own type of practice. For science events, stu- dents studied scientific textbooks and magazines instead of meeting during the week. Spelling compet- itors learned over 2,000 words and practiced together twice a week. This was my first year, said Lana Klapuch, spelling coach, but I am very encouraged by the number and enthusiasm of the students. REVIEWING: Cathy Barella and Eva Gonzales prepare to compete in the UIL journalism contests at Westwood High School in Austin.

The classes help a student advance in many fields. They are ' tough, but the students who are accepted for them re- alize what they are getting into. Working in groups makes the assignment more interesting and together the students come up with creative ideas. We meet up at someone ' s house and put our thoughts to- gether ' Dawn Hernandez said. Honors clases call for plenty of hard work and time and de- votion to keep up with the rest of the class. Having your work done on time is most important when it comes to honors courses, said Ryan Wilhelmsen. Students take honors for sev- eral reasons. 1 feel 1 can learn more for college by being in honors class- es, said Wendy Eggert. I feel I will be ahead of everyone else. Students must be tested in or- der to qualify for honors classes. It doesn ' t go by teacher rec- ommendation, said Royce Buesing, counselor. Students take one test which includes some reading, writing and math problems. Honors classes are offered in English, Social Studies, Sciences and Math. Most teachers agree that honors classes are challeng- ing, but rewarding. Honors students have an un- limited resource of energy and the teacher has to be creative, motivated and knowledgeable in order to tap the students ' great- est potential, said Joyce Slone, teacher. These students are our leaders, not just of tomorrow, but of humanity. ASSISTANCE: Ray Jackson, faculty member, assists Stephanie Janak with her math homework. Many seniors, in- cluding Stephanie, choose to take ad- vancea math classes in order to prepare for college. WORKING: Anne Hilscher, with the as- sistance of Melissa Robles, works during their honors class. By taking an honors class, they are able to learn on a higher level. lit 4 EXPERIMENTING: Shawn Low and Jason Rhodes experiment during their honors physical science class.

HONORS CLASSES tlL£ Weight room strengthens athletes Emerging from relarive obscurity to a thriving school activity involv- ing almost every sport played by male and female students alike, the weight room has come a long way thanks to the efforts of the Football Boosters Club and the annual Lift- a-thons. In 1985 the state championship baseball team had to use the boys ' bathroom for their weight room. Today the boys ' s bathroom is again a bathroom, and the athletes can work out in one of the best weight rooms in South Texas, according to Harry McCluskey, athletic co- ordinator. Recently, the booster club added $1,400 in mirrors to the room they have equipped with every weight imaginable. The addition of this room has greatly benefited the athletes. In 1983 the average bench press of the football team was 35.09 pounds. In only five years that average has increased to 195.24 pounds. The girl athletes also have used the weight room. Although only 14 girls were enrolled in the formal weight lifting class, many of the girl athletes use the room to train for their events. Approximately 200 students a week use the weight room after school. LADY RAIDERS: Members of the girls bas- ketball and track teams use the weight room. Using the bench press is one of the more popular weights with all athletes. STRONG: John Whitby won the annual Power Lifting Meet and broke the record in the bench press, dead lift and squat. He lifted a total of 1,130 pounds. LIFT: Michael Amaro acts as the spotter for Raymond Gamez as he lifts weights. Athletes have improved their strength tnrough work- ing out in the weight room. t£4:- WEIGHT ROOOM WRIST CURLS: Jesse Balli works to strengthen his wrists and forearm during one of his workouts.

Close losses faced with dignity It ' s 7:15 p.m. The Raiders are out on the field warming up for the big game against Victo- ria High. Everyone is fired up and ready to go. It is now 7:30 p.m., and the Raiders are lined up out on the field waiting for the kick off. And they ' re off! Everybody is playing up to their abil- ity. The score is ried 10 up. Victoria High has the ball and is going up for a field goal. It ' s good, and the Raiders lose 10- 13. It was an exciting game for the Raiders. We really do have a great ball club, and we give it our best said Maurice Tolbert, senior. I feel that if every play- er would give 110% at all times we would be unstopable. said Ron- nie Barnes senior. We were really excited about winning against Alice 19 to 12. I played my best and I was sat- isfied with our win, said Arndra Thomas, junior. The Raiders faced hard losses with dignity. The Raiders finished their season against Ray with a win 33 to 2, and wound up in a three way tie for second place in district. The only way Stroman could have ad- vanced to the playoffs was if Victoria High lost their final district game against Miller The only thing we could do was wait, and hope Miller could take care of Vic- toria said Ronnie Barnes senior. Even though the Raiders did not make the playoffs they still had a great season. Eve- ry player did their best. The Raiders were fired up after their game against Alice, one that most people did not ex- pect the team to pull off. I was happy with the win, but I wasn ' t too happy about not making the playoffs, said Arn- dra Thomas, junior. It was a great season, but we deserved to go a lit- tle further than we did. said Melvin Tolbert.

According to Coach Garcia, it is up to the seniors to set good ex- a mples for the team. I ex- pect a lot out of them and I challenge them to guide the team into the state playoffs, Coach Garcia said. We never look to have discipline problems or bad attitudes on the team but if we do, we talk about the situation and the players make the decision, said Coach Garcia. The kids need to play because they want to, not because they have to. They must be will- ing to work long and hard to become outstanding players and an outstanding team. We can only accom- plish our high goals through off-season prepa- ration, desire, and dedica- tion, Coach Garcia said. The team gets along well and works together to win. It ' s one of the greatest ex- periences that I have ever had, it ' s not just a team, it ' s a family, said Pena. I have a group of young men that are playing be- cause they love the game and also because they have something to prove in 1988, Coach Garcia said. The team ' s efforts paid off.

Kelvin Bryant prepares him- self during practice for an upcoming track meet. Itti TRACK READY: Willard Dean listens carefully as Coaches Tim Brownson and Alan Autry explain his leg on the relay team. Along with prac- tice, the team works out psychologically, for Coach Brownson teach- es them that discipline and self-confidence is important to w in. THROWING: Getting ready to throw the shot put takes many hours of practice. At the Sting Relays, Tony Padilla threw 34 ' 11 for the J.V. team. jbiscipline, confidence reeds success jys track prepares for new year The energetic art of nning is a part of orts that most athletes rink from. But, in the cial case of the boys ck members, running iwhat it is all about. It takes a tougher lete to run because has to push when he tired and then go be- nd, said new head ick coach Tim Brown- n. Track is running. J u run when you train Id you run when you compete. Some people think that track is easy, but it is not as easy as they think, said Vincent Ve- liz. When we ' re getting timed, it doesn ' t feel so great. It hurts most of the time. In this new year, the boys track team will start off by getting the athletes in shape and improving the discipline of the team and their confidence. You can not win if you don ' t be- lieve you can. You have to be confident with yourself because there is nowhere to hide, said Coach Brownson. You run by yourself in your own lane. You have to be a little arrogant be- cause when you step on the track, you are basi- cally saying to the world, ' 1 AM THE BEST PERSON ON THIS TRACK AND YOU ' RE GOING TO HAVE TO BEAT ME!! ' Most runners feel that their sport can be very exhausting at times. As a result, they don ' t hes- itate to allow their minds to think of other things. When I ' m run- ning, I think about my pace, whether I should speed up or stay the same, said Jason Gus- man. When I ' m jogging, 1 try to think of something so 1 won ' t get bored. 1 push myself when 1 know there ' s someone better than me, said Vincent Veliz. One of the major goals of the boy ' s track team, according to Coach Brownson, is just plain improvement. Last year only one per- son qualified for region- als. We would like to have more people qual- ify. The talent is here, they just need to believe in themselves and work hard. J TRACK Itl SHOTPUT: Missy Garrett practices her fompj throwing the shotput.

Although this is a brand new year, the girls track members and Coach Judy Lynville have the TRACK Another distric championship same goals in mind and then some. We plan to win in the district champion- ship again and to take as many participants as we can to the state compe- tition in Austin, Coach Lynville said. The road to a state competition, according to the team members, will not be easy. At times, track can be a lonely sport, Coach Lynville said. Weather conditions are sometimes not good and the workouts are gruel- ing. According to Coach Lynville, excelling in track means that track members should im- prove physically as the year goes on, peaking at their upmost abilities when it counts. We will work to peak them (the team) at district, re- gional and state compe- titions, Lynville said. We want them to be out there in perfect shape. The majority of the team members feel that the energetic input pro- duced by them provides certain fulfillment and satisfaction. It gives you a sense of confidence, especially when you improve your time at every track meet, Emi Ramirez junior, said. For the first time in history, the girls com- peted in a running event at the state track meet. The 800 meter ri team, consisting juniors Karey Jar t Donayle Tyrone iic sophomores Wie Dean and LaSaunri Williams, took sc ond place at the s gional track meet. rone also place second in the hij jump and placjc fourth in the Idj jump at state witjr jump of 18 ' 6 3 4 ' PI VARSITY: Nikki Littles, Mika Williams, LaSaundra Williams, Mary Kay White, Karey Janak, Tresa Hermes, Pearl Dean, Marissa Riojas, Joyce Wyatt, Bronwyn Avery, Grace Barrera, Tonika Joshlin, Willet Dean, Betina Freelon, Donyale Tyrone, Shay Porter, Emi Ramirez, Denicia McDade.

TRACK itb Summertime for most students is a time of re- laxation, but to three seniors, Lewis McFadin, Mark Moore and Kimberly Evans, sum- mertime is far from this. Instead, their time is spent rodeoing. During the week, many hours are spent at the practice pen or at the barn tending to their horses. When the week- ends roll around, they are off to a rodeo or two somewhere down the trail. During the fall months Lewis spends more time on a football field sacking quarter- backs than he does at the arena with his horses. However, rodeoing is still in his mind. Football and ro- deos are equally impor- tant to McFadin and he has big plans to excel in both. He seems to be moving along rather smoothly in the rodeos. After rodeoing for only five years, the last two steady ones, his earn- ings are well over $3,500.00. McFadin competes in the tiedown calf roping and the rib- bon roping. Money is what McFadin likes best about rodeoing. I like winning. The money 1 get for winning is what keeps me go- ing, said McFadin. Kimberly didn ' t start off as a winner. It has taken much effort, prac- RODEO. a competitive spor tices, dedication, and the desire to win. I ' ve really worked hard at rodeoing, said Evans. You have to want to win. You can not sit back and take it easy. You have got to get out and ride every- day, practicing and practicing right. You have to put out 110% if you expect to accom- plish anything. Evans ' efforts have paid off. She has gone to the Texas Youth Rodeo Association finals for three years. She has been an alternate for the Texas State High School Rodeo Association in breakaway roping and was also named All Around Cowgirl in 1984 at the Victoria High FFA rodeo. Riding bulls every weekend may not seem like much fun for some people, but to Mark Moore, its part of life. I have always want- ed to rodeo, 1 hang around with people that rodeo and I guess that their desire to rodeo has rubbed off on me. Ro- deo is a tough life to lead, it is just like a job, if you want to bring home money, you have to do good and win, said Moore. Moore works only one of the rough stock events, the bull riding. To strengthen his body, Moore works out during the week by lifting weights, and runni: Physical strength is r to have, but the mer T- ability is more imp tant. Parental suppor J ' also necessary. With the support their parents, these ors are able to com participating in the I rodeos. All plan to attending and parti pating in rodeos . maybe someday cap the World Title. WINNING: Lei McFadin finishes his| and wins first place Robstown rodeo. Le is a great football plaj as well as a great cc boy. «ri •A :c iL:L RODEO H GRIPPING: Mark Moore covers the bull at the Kingsville High School rodeo. Moore sits second in bull riding in the region. TURNING: Kimberly Evans places second in the barrels at the Kings- ville rodeo. According to Evans, one must put out 100% in order to accom- plish anything.

GOLF Lifetime sport Relaxing challenge IT ' S QUITE EASY to see a student golfer practicing in the afternoon ' s sun, but it ' s not as easy to see what might go on inside the golfer ' s mind. Most golfers will agree that golf de- mands more patience, con- centration, and self- discipline than most sports; a stronger emphasis on mental, not physical exer- cise. Unlike all other sport, you do not have to be physically strong or fast on your feet, Denise Fet- terman, girl ' s golf coach said. All you need is the desire ana dedication to become the best you can be at a sport. Pnysically you can practice and practice, said Randy Parkan, senior. If you are not mentally pre- pared to play, more than likely you ' re not going to WHAT A SWING: Candace Baird practices her swing at Colony Creek Country Club. Girls golf team members practiced at Colony Creek as often as possible. do well. According to the play- ers, golf is very challenging and competitive. It s a sport of individuals, jun- ior golf member Candace Baird said. You are com- peting against yourself be- fore anyone else. Golf is relaxing, yet a challening sport, ' junior Rachel Thomas said. Everyone thinks that golf is only for older peo- ple, but it is not, junior Selena Ortiz added. It ' s fun for all ages. The girls team practices everyday until 5:15 p.m. to improve their game. ' Our team and individ- ual scores have improve with each tournament, Coach Fetterman said. The boys golf record is fair. Looking at individual performance the golfers ' scores have improved with each tournament, said Coach Luther Townsend. We have our bad days just like any sport. The district tournament was held on April 8 in Vic- toria. This year ' s teams are dangerously small. Not many people have joined the golf team in the past, but hopefully that will change. We do not have very many students participat- ing in golf for several rea- sons, Coach Fetterman said, I feel the main rea- son is the lack of under- standing what golf is really about. It involves a great amount of skill, coordina- tion, self discipline, and GIRLS TEAM: Kneeling, Rachel Thomas, Candace Baird. Standing, Kelly Keag, Phyllis May, Nache Schnieder, and Coach Denise Fetterman. patience. Golf is a lifetime sport, Mr. Townsend said. I would like to see more teen-agers getting in- volved. Leammg the me- chanics of the golf swing and applying their own creativity to various shots over the years can be very rewarding. Golf can offer many things that other sports can not. What other sport offers the benefits of spending two hours in the park or country culb each day soaking in sunshine, Coach Fetterman said. According to Mr. Town- send golf can be used in the future since many busi- ness people are involved with the game. One can have a discussion about fu- ture contract possibilities while playing a round of golf. It is not unlikely, he said. To the players, golf is a fun and exciting sport, and for all the people who think golf is a easy sport, only for the rich, older peo- ple, you are misinformed, Thomas said, You don ' t know what you are miss- ing! If you took someone out on a golf course and let them hit a little white ball, it probably would not go very far in the right direc- tion, Parkan said. It is not an easy sport, but it takes time, patience and a lot of practice. We need more people to par- ticipate in the sport.

You have accomplished a super goal and did a terrific job at it. You will always have a very special place in our hearts. God bless you al- ways. Love you always. Mom and Dacl Mark Anthony Figueroa Senior ' 88 We are proud of you, son! Love, Mom and Dad Cindy Wagner We knew you could do it. It just takes time and hard work. We love you! Mom and Dad tee Ocitca HC We ' ve come full circle. We ' ve giv- en of ourselves and were rewarded. We donated food to the Victoria Food Bank, worked with the young- sters at Tender Loving Care, and visited the elderly in local rest homes. We won district UIL con- tests, both in academics and sports. We achieved advanced placements and raised TEAMS and SAT scores. We won sweepstakes in band com- petition, performed in All State Choir and won awards in Raider Belles. We were IN FULL VIEW. SMILES: With big smiles on their faces, Kristy Schneider and Shannon Kouches pa- tiently wait in the lunch line with money in hand. While most get impatient with wait- ing, Kristy and Shannon use the time to talk about the day ' s happenings. ACTION: Brent Smiga is caught in mid air while clown- ing around at a Fosgate and Aremegeddon dance at Blue- bonnet Convention Center. The two local teenage bands have become very popular playing their Thrasher mu- sic at school talent shows and private parties. CLOSING Wl Remembering As we get older and as the years pass, the 1987-88 school year will recede in our memories. We may not remember exactly who was in our English class or who was always the main attraction at a party. It will be only when we dust off this yearbook to get ready for a class reunion that this year will once again be IN FULL VIEW. i I 1 I CO] m L L t II Colophon The 1988 Roundup yearbook, volume 21, was prepared by the Advanced Journalism Yearbook Production class of Stroman High School.
