Celebrating became our middle name at Sulphur Springs High School. With our vic- tories in s orts and our high scholastic achievements the attitudes that we projected made this an entlhusiastic year. Long after the wagon train had come and one our students kept the celebration alive with many other successful activities until the eng of the year. Celebrating on our own Where's the party? It was right here at Sulphur Springs High School where everyone was celebrating every time success came our way. We began with the victorious Wildcat football season that saw our team win the district AAAA title and advance to state pla -offs for the first time in 31 years. This s ecialyoccasion brought school unity, pride, and, a renewed community support that sent our school spirits soaring to new heights. We even had more reason to celebrate knowing our Key Club was the largest in the Texas - Oklahoma district. The Student Council ulled through with another outstandlfng award from the Student Council Association. Meanwhile, the 1985 Cat's Paw captured the state championship title of the 2 Opening Section Texas High School Press Association. Academically juniors had reason to celebrate their 95 percent passage of the TEAMS test. Setting higher standards of achievement, our honors classes provided opportunities for the academically talented students to participate in challenging projects. Yes, we partied and celebrated, not just for a short while, but all year long. Our every endeavor proved to be worthy of praise. Even as the state school board put more pressures onthe school system, we kept on movin forward toward our goals. Iust surviving the battle with House Bill 72 was a victory in itself. As the ear passed at Sul hur Springs High School, student did not have flar to look to count the successful events that made 1986 a YEAR OF CELEBRATION WE MADE IT!

Come join us as We relive the biggest birthday arty of the year celebrating our 150thj anniversary. Sulphur S rings High School students mingled with other Texans and out-of-state visitors as the wheels started turning for the Sesquicentennial Wagon Train in Sulphur Springs. Plans for the Wagon Train were originated and established by Ian France of Saltillo. Therefore, we, as the citizens of Ho kins County, were proud to be the send-off committee for this modern day adventure. The horse-wagon caravan slowly but steadily headed southwest on its long 3,000 mile journey. The Wagon trail led the present day pioneers around the state as they instilled a living heritage in our hearts. Preparation for this major event began months in advance and the momentum picked up speed very quickly. Local businesses began promoting the celebration and reminding us of the occasion as groups and clubs made plans to take part. Our affiliation with the wagon train left a brand of pride that made 1986 A YEAR OF CELEBRATION.

As students came back to school, in the fall, it wasn't the same old campus. Construc- tion existed on two sides of the school and the finished product would offer benefits to everyone. This was only more reason for us to celebrate as im- provements continued to take place. I cun't wait to get to use the new gym so everybody will be able need to Sophomore ily' . to practice when they P a m R u s s e l l , We were really excited to see this construction being done. It was part of the original building plan of the school and now that it is being completed, the added space will Erovide more room .for P.E. classes and t e drill team and girls athletics. The new Ag building will also provide much needed space for that department, Paul Glover, Assistant Superintendent of Business said. Student Life The first and most obvious work be an last spring in front of the gym. After weeks of leveling the ground and laying the foundation, evidences of a building began to appear. The building was the new girls gym that we had been anxious- l awaiting. As the walls of the gym were slowly but surely set up, something else became visible. The walk from the stu- dent parkin lot was widened and a covered wallgway had been provided. I know that everyone really appreciated not having to run so far to their car on rainy days, lay Iohnson, senior, said. More construction was also taking place in the back of the campus. A new acility was constructed for the Ag department out beside the machine shop. Although it was not as visible as the new gym, it did have great importance. The Ag department has been looking forward to this addition for about three years. The new building, our lab facility, will ro- vide a shelter for handling and workjing on livestock. Before now, we had to do the work outside in the parking lot. The F.F.A. boys will be building pens to hold livestock before and after shows. This addition to our teaching facilities will definitely be well used and a preciated, Tom Howell, Ag teacher, said?

SVPVOIICO drill team, Band, Cheerleaders, Foot- ball team. All these organizations began during the summer to prepare for the up- coming year so that it would be a year of celebration. Drill team officers went to Florida in Iuly for summer camp which was a vaca- tion in dis uise. During the week they won individual superior ratings. Suzanne Glover was named Super-Star Girl and Chrissi Poulos was a nominee for the Super-Star Girl. The cheerleaders also at- tended East Texas State University for cheerleader cam , where they won eight superior blue riblbons and the spirit stick every night. They started practicing after camtp learning new chants and cheers for the irst pep-rally. Other organizations that started early were the band which started racticing their marching skills in Iuly. Tffeir drum major, Phil Parker, attended summer camp. The football players also started 2 a days in August which lasted for two weeks. Some of the players worked out at Silverleaf, ate well balanced meals, and lifted weights to stay in shape so they would be ready each day for practice. e ut chqjlen Pe glhg Summer vacation flew by uickly and suddenly. Students were willingly and unwillin ly thrown into the hustle and bustle of another busy, fun-filled and sometimes hectic school year.

Conversations just like these could be heard during the week of September 23- 27 prior to the Homecoming football game. Different organizations and clubs had 12 Student Life their own way of getting read for the Homecoming activities, but in the end it all fit together and made for a week of celebration in every way possible. There was so much going on before and after the game that it was hard deciding which ones I should set time aside to attend, Theresa Iohnson, senior, said. A bonfire, an election, a parade, a game, an ice cream supper, and a dance were some of the activities that the stu- dent bod could participate in. The Key Club haulred in, stacked up, and lit a very lar e bonfire. The club spent afternoons gatiering the wood and stacking it just rig t. Iennifer Kennedy was crowned queen and Iennifer Bell and Francie Bell were named princesses. The excitement 'ust didn't stop there as the Wildcat football team went on to defeat the West Mes- quite Wranglers 27-0. Following the Wildcat victory the student council spon- sored an ice cream su per for everyone to enjoy. The next nigliit a Homecoming dance was held in the Civic Center.

Changing a tradition is sometimes hard because of students' reluctance to change. This year a Homecoming queen and two Princesses were chosen. We decided since there were ten girls we should give more recogni- tion than just one queen, Mrs. Durham said. On Friday September 20, one week before the Homecoming football game, the Senior class nominated ten girls who would serve as the 1985 Homecoming court. The ten can- didates were Francie Bell, Iennifer Bell, Stacy Bowen, Michelle Brum- field, and Leann Carpenter. Also Tyra Evans, Loretta Iohnson, Patrice Ivery, jennifer Kennedy, and Carrie Wallace. The reason for nominating them a week in advance was to give them plenty of time to buy something to wear during pre-game when they would be presented to a capacit crowd and the winners announced? The Saturday after we were nominated I went to Greenville with my mom trying to find something to wear, Stacy Bowen, senior, said. The following Friday at seven o'clock every girl was lined ,u across the field getting ready to wallk down the fifty yard line and through a lattice archway where they were presented a rose by the cheerleaders. Each girl had on that special outfit that had taken a week to pick out, and every father looked as calm as possible. l am glad we are star ting the new tradition i ' 1 a V g W t K Q - princesses selected g When every grl had finally made of h in o f .

This was certainly the case for the '85 football season. I believe there was more spirit in the pep rallies this year than t ere has been in the four years I've been in high school. I think that the added spirit is what helped bring Sulphur Springs its first district cham- pionship in 31 years, Dean Branden- urg, senior, said. Student Life The fun, spirit-filled pep rallies got e eryone involved. Even teachers realiz- ed the im ortance of school spirit durin The Battlje of the Classes. Teachers and students, representing different classes, competed in numerous contests such as musical chairs, cheerleading contest, dress-up contest, and bobbing for apples. The juniors, winning the most contests and earning the most points, won a trophy. I had a good time playing musical chairs. The other teachers and I really felt like a art of the pep rally, Gail Herman, teacher, said. Other aspects that made the pep rallies exciting were the Band, Drill Team, Flag Corps, Twirlers, and Cheerleaders. By taking turns performing, they gave the audience a variet o entertainment. They all combined, their talents for a s ecial performance to Boogie Down at tffe endhof the football season. Each week different football players made short speeches about the game that took place that night. The speeches were attempts to get everyone at the game.

In addition to the regular pep rallies in the gym, the students and people got together for pep rallies on the downtown square. These rallies were held on November 21 and 28 before the Henderson and Denison play- off games. Including performances by the band, drill team, and cheerleaders, the rallies also featured several guest speakers including David Baucom, Mayor, Tim Kelty, member of the 1954 Senior class when the Wildcats won the last district championshipg and Bill Mc- Cool, a local businessman. The pep rallies showed the overall enthusiasm of Sulphur Springs. It brought out a lot of community pride for the Wildcats, Kelty said. The pep rallies on the square showed outstanding community spirit. They united the students and the people of our community, McCool said. Many businesses showed their support to the Wildcats on their businesses' mar- uees and by shoe polishing We Love flue Wildcats on their store windows. '4The square pep rallies really proved to X us that the whole town was behind us, David Pool, senior, said.

Clubs s on- sored concession booths, students hellped cook stew, ag members showed livestock and if students weren't involved in these activities they went to the carnival. I found this year's Fall Festival to be more enjoyable and bigger than any in the ast, Melinda Sears, junior, said. The Fall Festival attracts 10,000 visitors to the civic center grounds. Many people come from all parts of Texas and many out-of-state guests who have read about the Festival in travel brochures join the local participants to sample stew and buy arts and crafts and listen to the fiddlers. One of the best parts about the Fall Festival was getting to know eople from out of town and making llasting friendships. .4 1 ,, if if ' DISPLAYING TECHNIQUE.

Time passed quickly as both teams were desperately trying to put six points on the board. At half time neither of- fense had made a clean break for a touchdown. The game continued through the sec- ond half and determination was evident on both ends of the field as the 0-0 stand-off lingered through three quarters.

This scene reminded everyone that Valentine's was close at hand. The S anish Club had its annual Val-O- Gram salne which hel ed to get students into the spirit of the holliday. These neat little messages were also an easy but meaningful way to remember a special friend. The sale lasted for one week which gave students time to decide on the perfect messa e to send to their Valentine Suckers could also be sent with the Val-O-Gram for 35 cents. After the Spanish students finished making each Val-O-Cram, they were ready to deliver the messages. During second period on Valen- tine's Day all of the special messages and suckers were personally delivered and students gladly opened them to read the Valentine wishes. Others were surprised with Val-O-Grams for secret Valentines. The most special part about Valentine's Day to me is the cards that friends sent because they said exactly what they felt, 65162 S 0,46 ZZ QCJZUG Iennifer Bell, senior, said.

The day finally came to a close when more than 200 items were auctioned, that had been donated by businesses and in- dividuals. Among the items auctioned were an Australian sheep dog, picnic tables, and even a wild mustang mare donated by Craig Pense. This year the auction raised 36,500 which will be used to pay for Ag trips taken to shows and conventions. I guess 356,500 is about average, said Iohn Boles, Ag teacher. We've done better, but we've done worse, too. Of course, we have expenses to pay and our profit will be considerably less.

This time was special for our '86 seniors because it was the last time they could get together before going their separate ways after graduation.

Wade Iohnston, senior to have fun with my close friends, Fran- cie Bell, senior, said. Unique would be the word to describe some of the parties given. Luaus, fajita parties, ice cream parties, luncheons, la- sagna dinners, hamburger suppers, and lake parties were just a few of the many 56 Student Life types of parties. There was no one party that I had the most fun at because I had a great time at every one I attended, Paula Mays, senior, said. Parties were a very special time for seniors to share memories with the friends with whom they had spent leisure time, shared activities and been in classes with. It made them realize that the time they had left together was slow- ly dwindling away. I had been looking forward to gradua- tion all year long, but when the parties began and graduation came nearer, I couldn't believe I had finally made it, Stacey Patrick, senior, said. People who gave parties to seniors, said they really enjoyed making a sen- ior's graduation complete. They thought that people liked eating and playing games or sports the best. Though making guest lists and making all the arrange- ments were a lot of work, to the hosts and hostesses it was worth it all. KISS AND TELL? Iennifer Kennedy is greeted at the I'M STARVED!

Due to an after Labor Day late start in their final year, gradua- tion day wasn't until Iune 6,1986 Seniors anticipated the important date when they were able to order caps and gowns and an- nouncements. Balfour first came Ianuary 10 to give the seniors this opportunity. Many also ordered commemorative jewelry such as key chains and belt buckles as well as memory books for everyone to sign and extra tasels to hang from the rear view mirror. When the seniors received their orders April 29 their excitement started to build. Unfortunately, so did the clouds of rain. 'tThe forecast for Friday is 40 percent chance of rain .. . became the familiar report from radios and televisions in the Sulphur Springs area. Despite rain every day for a week before graduation ceremonies, the seniors were still hopeful that the commencement exercises could be held at Wildcat Stadium. Finally, just when it looked as if the wet field was beyond use, administrators decided to build a plat- form forthe seniors to walk out on. This ingenious arrangement provided a place for the speaker, ad- ministrators and school board members to sit and a walkway for seniors to be presented their diplomas. During the commencement exercises the seniors sat in a special reserved section in the stands with Wildcat Band behind.

Miss Sandra Glenn's fourth period honors English class made up of freshmen students worked on the book Hopkins County Then and Now for an entire six weeks. The book was based on the Fox Fire book written about how times have chan ed. The English class wrote the book as a salute to the Sesquicentennial year. ' The art quilt was another project focused around the Ses- quicentennial. The art classes combined their skills to create a beautiful quilt top on a red background with such designs as the star, the state mockingbird, the state of Texas, and a wagon train. After the quilt was finished, they presented it to Congressman lim Chapman for display in his office. t., 1 X i 11-V5f'gf5 fr Mini-Them e65 New Senior Class Cl'ITX'l7Vl61N uuucyb s the student stood in line to get his senior schedule, he tried to think of the classes he would have to take. When he signed the card, he noticed Civicsflilconomics written on his schedule. Why was it written like this? Then he remembered that a new requirement would be made of graduating seniors. They would have to take Civics, as usual, but it would only be one semester and Economics would be required for the second semester. Teaching economics required me to do as much studying on my own as my students but I really enjoyed it because I was learning somethin new, too, I noticed, though, tfie students thought it was a little boring but Economics is good for everyone to study because it teaches us about our nation's economy, Mrs. Anna Hudson, Civics teacher, said.

Each stu- dent interviewed five people of their choice, five businesses, and sent questionnaries to three dif- ferent out-of-town people. They used a checklist as part of their interview. Some of the items they asked about were integers, decimals, whole numbers, ratios, formulas, graphing, and factor- ing. The students checked yes or no according to whether the com- pany or person used the items listed. The people were also ask- ed how much math background they had, how much they used math in their everyday life, and how many years of experience they had in their occupation. I really enjoyed learning about people who use math every day since it applies to my own job, Mary Mathes, algebra teacher, said. After finishing their assign- ment, the class turned in the results and tabulated the out- come of the project. They then compared each of the different businesses to one another and discussed the results. It was really neat to find out who used algebra in the different businesses we interviewed.

Several teachers had their classes do projects that would help them appreciate Texas. Mrs. Karen Bailey, the Honors English l teacher, wanted her class to do some thing different since other teachers had already assigned their classes to research Sulphur Springs' heritage. I did not want a re-hash of work done in those classes, Mrs. Bailey said. She then decided to assign them to do an East Texas Tour Guide. Each student drew the name of a neighboring town out of a box. They were given the address of the chamber of Commerce in that town so they could start gather- ing information. They were re- quired to research the festivals, fairs, sesquicentennial celebra- tions, history, founders, land- marks, museums, points of in- terest, businesses, and industries of their towns, to help them learn more. I have really learned a lot about writing and the background of the town l wrote about, Iennifer Bell, freshman, said. After researching the town and finding out as much as possible, they prepared a travel poster, a map, a written report, a poem, and an oral report concerning their assigned town, The pur- pose of this project was to instill in them a pride in their East Texas heritage and to help them realize the power of the written word as an effective communica- tion skill, Mrs. Bailey said.

For one, the course was changed to Consumer and Homemakingf' and had many new objectives. The usual combination of sewing and cooking was changed to two different courses. If someone wanted to learn about foods he had to take a half year course of foods and nutrition. If he wanted to sew he had to take consumer and homemaking. Surprisingly, the majority of students who wanted to learn about foods were boys. Many were seniors who needed another elective to take, and in the end found out they liked it. At first I thought all we would do was cook, but we ended up learning about all the nutrients of foods and it wasn't as easy as I IS IT DONE?

The first three weeks of the class were strictly academic with each food nutrient being explained. When the students finally began cooking they had the op- portunity to prepare meals for each food that was being studied. During Thanksgiving the classes fixed a Thanksgiving dinner and invited the teachers and ad- ministration to join them. Also they baked cookies and other Christmas foods for the faculty tea during the Christmas season. After every lab the students cleaned up just like they were managing their own kitchen. The guys are generally the ones who are better at cleanup and they seem to like it better, Cyndi Futral, foods and nutrition teacher, said.

One of the activities in which the newly founded club entered in was the mini float parade at the homecoming pep rally. The float was in the shape of a mousetrap, with a mouse dressed up like a cowboy. The theme of the float was Catch the Cowboys. The float won third place and a ten dollar prize. Also, Drafting students made visits to building sites, and they made a field trip to a log cabin to show the difference between the construction of earlier homes to I . that of modern homes. They also made a trip to the high school machine shop to see parts being made that are used in the con- struction of buildings. The field trips really helped to improve my work in Drafting class, Amy Brandenburgh said. Other students this year were busy with different kinds of art projects. There are five Art I classes, one Arts and Crafts class, and one Advanced Art class. In Art I, students explore the elements of art structure. Art students also learn to make jewelry, to do print making, and to make paper mache projects. A couple of projects the Arts and Crafts class worked with were pottery and stitchery. Advanced art students did the special seasonal paintings on store win- dows in town, and they also did a special quilt project.

The most in- teresting by far is the robot, designed from a Heath-Kit that Mrs. Stephens' husband built. By building the robot they saved an estimated S1000. The Stephens have over S2000 invested in the robot already. Rambot was named by the computer classes and can be programmed in BASIC language by connecting it to the Apple computer in the lab. The more advanced students pro- grammed in assembly language on a Kuped. It was a lot of fun working with the computer and learning new programs for it, says Ieff Haney. Rambot can extend his arm and pick up an objectg he can detect movementg he can be used as a burglar alarmg he can turn himself and he can also speak and even sing a tune. Whatever the robot does he has to be programmed by the students. Mrs. Stephens' classes will be working in teams with three or four students on a team. Each team must design a task for Rambot to do. They work on their programs for the computer the sixth six weeks. The students must know everything about pro- gramming before they even start with their robot. I think the students will have a lot of fun learning how to program the robot, commented Mrs. Pam Stephens. JISCUSSIONS! DISCUSSIONS!

During the first half of the course, students learn about insurance, budgets, bank- ing records and income tax.

In accounting students learn about figuring tazes, debits and credits and checking and saving accounts. These two subjects are similar in the material that is covered in each class, and they are also similar because they help students to be better prepared for jobs, college and life. .,.

The students go to Speech tournaments to prepare for UIL meets. At the tournaments they do the prose and poetry selec- tions and also perform duet ac- ting scenes. At one meet Dana McComb and Laura Lundgren performed Agnes of God. Dana said while portraying Agnes she found the role to be intense. Agnes was a confused girl and a nun. She seemed to have pro- blems understanding who God was and why He's here. Before performing, the actress has to take time to get into character, she can't act like her character out in the world. Dana enjoyed protraying Agnes even though there was a great defference in their personalities. Three seniors traveled to Fort Worth to attend and compete at the Theatre Scholarship audi- tions while staying at the Green Oaks Inn. Universities from five states attended and it was spon- sored by Southwestern Theatre association. Laura Lundgren was interviewed and called by Angelo State, University of Tulsa, Southwestern University, Southeastern Oklahoma State, Oklahoma Shakespeare Festival.

Machine Shop is a vocational class that trains students as machine operators, machinists and other machine related oc- cupations. Machine Shop teaches students to operate metal work- ing machines and to read blue prints. This year in Machine Shop II the students constructed wooden toys that were donated to the Empty Stocking Fund. MDE is a beginning cooperative program.

At last you're on your own, away from Mom and Dad, free to do anything you want. But what about the things you don't want to do? You think nothing could be bad. After all, you're on your own, right? What about the dishes, the laundry, the rent, the bills, the landlord! Calgon, take me away! It doesn't go away. It's there until you take care of it. It's like a nightmare. you wash the dishes. You get hungry. You mess up the dishes again. You wash the clothes. You change clothes. You have more clothes to wash. So on and so forth. When you finally save up enough rent money, it's time to start sav- ing for next month. What about the bills? You can't forget about them. What about college? What about working? A part time job is sure not going to pay rent, bills, tuition, and gas. So now you are on your own, away from Mom and Dad, spending every penny you have trying to make ends meet and all your free time on studying and cleaning. It's not quite as easy as you had expected. You almost wish you were back at home where you were catered three meals a day and lived rent free. But whatever happens, you can't let your parents know that you miss it. What would they think of their son or daughter who has to move back home? You just have to stick to it. Pretty soon you will enjoy washing dishes. You want to get up at 5 a.m. so you can wash clothes before the laundry mat get full. You are even beginning to look forward to paying rent at the end of the month. Now you've got your daily schedule worked out and your life is going much smoother. Mini Mag 89 or Boredom Weekend Trauma Some students' main assignment is finding something to do.

Some people are overjoyed to hear that word and although they may claim to have great and exciting plans, how many actually do? After all, how many times can a person drive around the square and down Gilmer Street without running out of things to do. You get in your car, put on your favorite radio station, and away you go. But to what? On your way to the square you seriously con- sider your alternatives. First, you can ride around a little while, find one of our friends, and go out and eat. Second, you can ride around a little while, find one of your friends and go out to eat. The choices are numerous. You near the square, but no friends are in sight. It's 8 p.m.! Where are they?

It's now 8:30 as you and your friends sit on a favorite business park- ing lot desperately trying to think of something to do. Someone sug- gests going mud-dogging. That won't work. lt hasn't rained in months. Someone else suggests going to the show. No, it's already started. Your whole Friday night is spent on the parking lot talking and drink- ing Dr. Pepper - the same thing you could be doing at school. Now it's time to go home. You've all decided that tomorrow night you will find something different to do. But when Saturday night rolls around it's the same old thing. Gnly one more night of the weekend left.

There isnit another living person in sight. The streets resemble those of a ghost town in an old western movie. Your heart pounds against your chest as if it is trying to get out. Have the Russians captured everyone? You think to yourself. As you drive on, you still see no one. Every store you pass has a closed sign hanging on the door. In the midst of your confusion, a light reaches that dim-lit brain of yours and reminds you that it is Spring Break! Oh! that explains it! How could you have forgotten? Maybe because the only thing you have to look forward to while everyone else is sailing down those gorgeous Colorado slopes or bak- ing on a golden beach, is sitting at home watching soap operas. Yes, it's true, that time of the year is here again. The time when everyone except you goes out of town. Of course, the only reason you aren't there is that the funds were a little low this year. But just think, whenever they all get back home with their wind chapped lips and disgustingly dry, sunburned faces, you'll be as beautiful as ever! Look at all of the money you are saving on moisturizing creams and ointments. What about those who go to Cancun, Acapulco, or the Bahamas? You probably wouldn't want to be there anyway. The salt water does nothing for your hair and the sun would just cause your ghostly white skin to burn. See, you are better off where you are. Staying in town during Spring Break won't be that bad. You can lie around the house and catch up on lost sleep. As the days drag on and there still isn't anything to do, why don't you get out that latch hook rug you started four years ago and have yet to finish. By the time you finish it, the skiers and beach bums should be returning and you can crawl out of your little hole. You didn't think you would make it! Now you can call your best friend and have a sleep over. I know you are just dying to hear her fantastic stories about Spring Break!

Ifntzis Henley, As athletes strived for excellence in competition many set new records and brought honor to SSI-IS. This year records weren't just broken in one event, but in several. Football held three records in itself. For the first time in 31 years the Wildcats made it to district play-offs, and advanced to the first rounds of state play-offs. Iames Henley, junior tailback broke the record in yards rushing with an outstanding 212 yards in one game. Voted most valuable player by district coaches, Greg Owens set a record for being honored twice with that title. Football played a big part in the celebration of students, but other sports had old records broken and new ones set, too. Tommy Dixon put Sulphur Springs on the ma when he placed first at the National Powerlifting meet. He is the first national champion the Wildcats have produced. Track had four of its athletes advance to regionals, and one advance on to state. Marc McGahee, senior pole vaulter, used his talents to vault 15 feet 2 inches at regionals and set a new Wildcat record. He advanced on to state where he placed second. Iennifer Kennedy and Stacy Thomas teamed together in tennis and did well enough to go on to regionals where they were beaten in the second round of play. Des ite their stroke of bad luck they honored Sulphur Springs by being the first doubles team to advance that far in four years. Breaking records occurred quite frequently by athletes and made this year a real celebration. QB Sports HIGH HONORS.

Greg Owens, 1 Q, rtnt. ' Senior Enthusiasm, plus atience, multi lied by a lot of lljard work equalled a surprisingly suc- cessful season for the Varsity Wildcats. The season started on an up- note with an o ening victory over the Terrellg Tigers 10-6. Then came the disa pointment. The Wildcats suflfered two straight shutouts and all ho e for a winning season dwindledl out. The Cats stuck it out with their new winged Veer offense and stormed through their Homecom- ing game with a victory over West Mesquite 27-0. One loss later the Wildcats breezed their district o ener with a win against Mount Plleasant 30-7. This game proved to be the turnin oint for the Wildcats and al? tlie people who had lost faith in them. The Cats then knew that the winged Veer of- fense was the offense that would carry the team to a season no other Wildcat team had ever experienced. After putting another win under their belt, the Cats faced arch rival Paris. This cliffhanger seemed to last forever as the Cats were defeated in the final minutes of the game 20-15. With a chance for the district championship title near, the Cats went to Kilgore, won in every department, but lost on the scoreboard, 14-13. The Cats outplayed the Bulldogs over- whelmingly but just could not put the ball in the end zone. After the game the Cats thought their chances for a district champion- ship were over, but Head Coach Don Poe burst excitedly through the door with news for the Brokenhearted Wildcats that Mount Pleasant had defeated Paris. If the Cats could win their final game of the season against the Hallsville Bobcats, they could go to the class 4A state playoffs and ave another chance at the elusive districtchampionship. Following a serious Week of Work, the Wildcats upended the Bobcats 6-0 which later resulted in the Cats traveling to Mesquite Memorial Stadium to fight for the district championship against the Henderson Lions. Henderson had defeated the Cats 21-0 earlier in the third game of the season and this loss set the stage for a challengingshowdown. l l WATCH THIS.

Top-ranked 10-0 Henderson had everything going its way as the team met the Wildcats in the first round of district pla offs. Whether it was overcon- fidence on the art of the Lions or overwhelming spirit on the art of the Wildcats, the playoff game was a surprise for everyone. From tfle first in- tercepted pass to the last rush for pay dirt, Sulphur Springs was unstoppable in its 48-7 incredible victory. ' With a finely-tuned offense and an aggressive, hard-hitting defense, the Wildcats took the field with unbelievable intensity and took it straight to the Lions with everythin they had. The first score came early in the first quarter whien free safety Heafli Iohnson intercepted a pass and ran it back for 48 yards an a TD. Another score came from a 18-yard dart by running back Iames Henley. Following the only Henderson score, Henley opped into the end zone again from 13 yards out. The Cats led 20-7 at the half? but the show wasn't over. The Wildcats took the field again to add four more touchdowns with what turned out to be the most explosive offensive half of any game this year. After enjoying a second pep rally on the square, the Wildcats once again traveled to Mes uite Memorial Stadium where they met up with the Den- nison Yellowjacllcets and the celebration was over. After an interminably long, heart-breaking battle, the Yellowjackets prevailed over the youn Wildcat team 40-0. Althou h it was a grueling painful loss, the Cats had reason to keep their heads Efted hi h. Not only had they just accomplished what no other Wildcat varsity football team in histor had ever accom lished, and not only did they break all the records that couldlbe broken, they had just played the number one team in the state. Two Wildcat players were named All-State honors which had never before happened in the history of the Wildcat football program. Greg Owens was named first team linebacker and james Henle was named honorable men- tion running back. Henley also broke the Wilcffcat rushing record with 1,331 yards total rushing for the year.

Varsity Football - 103 The Lady Wildcats hit the court and the crowd yells ' o get 'em Lady Cats! At the beginning of the season, the Varsity Lady Cats were expected to finish first or second in the district. Five returning lettermen were an asset to this team. Three of the five lettermen are juniors Monica Goodson, Barbara Norton and Rhonda Porter. These irls carried much of the wei ht of the team in their serves, bein the top three high scorers for the year. They were selected to the All-Tournament Team in Commerce. The junior players were selected to the All- District Team with Barbara on the first team platform while Monica and Rhonda were placed on the second team. The Lady Cats' strategy began with a two-game win over Greenville followed by two more victories over North Lamar and Rockwall. The looked ood going into the McKinney tournament beating Whitesboro but suffired a loss to the McKinne Lions in three tough matches. The Lady Cats came out fighting in the North Lamar tourney defeating Paris and Prairieland to take the third place title. At the end of the Pre-district play, the Varsity Team earned a 4-1 record. Going into district action, they hit a slump losing three of their first four games. They came back in the match against Paris and took a vic- tory over Mt. Pleasant to end the season ri ht. Although the Lady Cats were upset by their losses, the came through in the Commerce tourney and took the first lace trophy.

Sophomore Kerry Wright and Donnie Roland, get their breat after a first half. Having a unanimous all-district and two honorable mention all- district players just wasn't enough for the Wildcats to have a suc- cessful season. . The Cat selected as unanimous all-district was junior Heath Iohnson who was the leading Wildcat scorer with a 16.0 average and the leading rebounder with a 9.3 average. Senior, Donnie Roland, was selected honorable mention all-district bein the second leading scorer with a 11.6 average and the second leadin rebounder with a 8.5 average. Iunior, Troy Ivery, was also selected lionorable mention all-district. We got off to a slower start than I would have liked because of in- experience, and the fact we had some key players in football, Coach Steve Armstron said. This was one of the main problems with the varsity basketball team this year. The Cats did improve as the season progressed, however. Their shooting percentage was excellent during district lay and they out rebounded most of their opponents. Where the Wildlcats really needed to improve, but didn't, was in the area of turnovers and defense. ' The record the Cats had this year of 8 wins and 15 losses is not as bad as it sounds. They played really well the last half of the district round-robin. A two-point loss to Liberty Eylau by 52-54 kept the Wildcats out of the district play-offs. The difference in average scoring for the Cats and their opponents for the whole season was only a single oint which shows how close the Wildcats came to having a successfuljseason. Returning lettermen for next year's team will be Heath Iohnson, Frank Holder, Kyle Freeman, and Troy Ivery. Although I was not too happy about our overall record, I was ex- ceptionally pleased that we got better as the season progressed, and we were playing our best basketball the last couple of weeks of the season, Coach Armstrong said.

P a m R u s s e l l , Sophomore Because of the inexperience on the varsity level, the Lady Wildcats didn't know what to expect for the season. With only three returning starters, their inexperience showed up many times throughout the season. However, they ended up with an impressive 17-8 season record. The Varsity Ladies seemed to think teamwork made the difference for them. Our work together as a team helped us make it through the season, Barbara Norton, junior said. We always su ported each otllaelljll believe every girl gave 100 percent, Pam Russea, sophomore a e . In pre-district pla , the Lady Wildcats lost only five out of fifteen games. The first thlree games were won by only twelve points combined, but the scores picked u as the season progressed. They beat Kilgore 62 to 51 in their first district game followed by another win over Hallsville, 48 to 24. Disap ointments came when they played Paris at Paris. Our Lady Cats ledjthe whole game until the last three seconds, but Paris won on the buzzer with a last-second shot. After that let down, they came home to a crowded gym for their game against Mt.

They had another chance to win but Paris was just too much to conquer. They lost by four oints and Paris went to the lay-offs.

McGahee was the second place winner in the pole vault after the state meet, but that was not the only accomplishment of the Wildcat track team. They did better as a team than any team has done in years. They not only did well as a team, but the also had two members representing them at the Regional meet, Ieff Vadlen, senior hurdle, and senior pole vaulter, Marc McGahee, represented us well. They earned the s ots by placing very well in the 11AAAA district meet in Hallsville where Vadlen placed second in the 110 m high hurdles with a time of 14.62 seconds, He then placed first in the 300 m intermediate hurdles with a time of 38.6 seconds. McGahee earned his reser- vation with a first place vault of 14' 6th. At Regionals Vaden placed third in the 300m Intermediates with a time of 38.64 which was one place shy of State. McGahee, on the other hand, advanc- ed to State with a school record 15'2 . At the meet he placed second vaulting 14'6 . The teams success was not built on these two alone, however. Other team members who made it possible for the teams success were, Chris Young, Sophomore who placed in every meet and earned a great number of points. There were others who earned points such as Mark Warren, Iunior Hurdler. Tony Thomas: junior Sprinter. Iunior distance runners, Fred Shaw and Merv Brott.

Tanisha Morgan, Freshman. While the past years have been tough for the Lad Wildcat Tracksters due to the lack of interest, this year the girls' track, team jumped from four to twenty members. They not only came up in number but also in quality sending two to the regional meet. This is a young team made up of very hard working, dedicated young ladies, Coach Kare Brice commented. Tanisha Morgan and Teresa Boles were the backbone of the Lady Cat Track Team. They placed high in every meet of the season along with Francie Bell, senior. Tanisha and Teresa, both freshmen, went to regional competition. Tanisha placed third in the long jump and in the 100 meter dash. These two helped lead the Lady Cats in placing sixth in the District Meet in Hallsville. The first meet of the season was a dual meet with Greenville. The Ladies beat Greenville in every event except the 400 meter run, the 1600-meter rela , and the shot put. Next, the Lady Cats competed in a bi meet hostedvby Hallsville made up of 22 other teams. The sprint relay team IFrancie Bell, Keitha Ivery, Tammy Smith, Tanisha Morganl captured first in the Allen Meet while Francie came in first in the hurdles and Tanisha came in second in the 100 meter dash.

Ann Kirkpatrick came in sixth in the 800 meter run, tllis also being her first time to compete in this event.

Their ner- vousness was caused partly because Michelle Moody was the only returning letterman. This team was also one of the youngest varsity teams in history at SSHS, with two juniors, two sophomores and one freshman. The young team lost every tournament up to district and their hopes of winning district and advancing to regionals seemed impossible. This first round of district play was in Sulphur Springs and the Lady Cats' determination was evident. At the end of the da they found themselves in second place with a 455 stroke total behindyParis. Michelle Moody led the team shooting 108 with Barbara Norton, 112. This boosted their spirits and they finished the district tournament in second lace, once again behind Paris, with a 434 total. They ac- complisffed their goal and made some new resolutions for the regional meet. Individually, the Lady Cat golfers worked just as hard. Mood ended the season with an All-District honor followed by Wendy Ed! wards and Carla Baucom on the second team. mn rs v K :Wai P LOOKING GOOD.

Coach Barnes said. Even after a long, hard district meet, the Lady golfers didn't slow down. Coming in second in district put them in the Regional tourney in Denton.

Kragen Hawkins, Iunior. Dropping their last six in district action, and eliminating their layoff hopes for this season, the Varsity baseball team ended a dismal and gisappointing season. The Cats will lose five seniors from this squad, but will have a large selection of IayVeers to choose from next year. The Wildcats' season was highlighted by winning the Paris Invitational Baseball tournament. The Cats won the first round of the tournament against Commerce 11 to 8 and then went to round two to face a previously undefeated Prairiland team. The Wildcats dropped this team, also winning 9 to 1. Scott Steele, Wildcat Ace, did the honors on the mound for the Cats. The Wildcats then advanced to the Championship game a ainst host Paris. The Cats again were the victors defeating the Red River Wifdcats 9 to 3 in a game plagued with errors. The Cats held on, however, to grab the win and the championship trophy.

As a new IV season got underway with a new offense and some new coaches, many sophomores found themselves somewhere where they had never been before. With several sophomores moving up to Varsi- ty many IVers were given the opportunity to take on a new role as leaders of a team. This gave them a chance to develop and excel as football players for the upcoming Varsity season. With the first game of the season approaching, an injured Cary Moore forced Ierry Burton into the starting position as quarterback. Thistgave Ierry the opportunity to develop as a quarterback as well as a ea er. Ierry stepped in and helped the I.V. Cats defeat the Terrell Tigers 27 to 8 in the irst game of the Cats' season. The second ame of the season ended in a loss for the IV Cats. The Cats lost to Daias Hillcrest 12-14. Midway through the season, the IV Cats hosted Liberty Eylau and pulled through, beating LE 15-0. The next game of the season, the IV went to Paris, but returned with a loss. The final score was 7 to 22. As the season grew on, the IV ke t on working on the new offense and developed a passing attack. Ifjthe runnin game wasn't going well, the IV often went to the air. With the lieight of the inside receivers and the speed of the outside receivers, the game with 8-10 pass receptions wasn't uncommon. The last game of the season was a good exam le of this passing at- tack. The IV set up a passing attack which led to the defeat of Hallsville, 6-0. The IV Cats were shadowed by the success of the Var- sity. With the IV season finished, a few IVers got the o portunity to stra up the old helmets and work with the Varsity as tliey prepared for tlhe playoffs. This was another oplportunity for some sophomores to develop for Varsity and to show t eir stuff for head coaches. The IV season ended with an overall record of 4 wins, 5 losses and one tie. . .

Fifty-five new faces, different experiences, and harder work were in store for the Freshmen as they entered into the 1985 season. Among these new faces was quarterback, Cary Horton. He is a very versatile athlete with a good athletic future ahead of him. Another standout was running back, Kevin Evans. He has good strength and quickness which is important to make that extra yardage. The young Wildcat team pulled it off well with an impressive record of seven wins and two losses. They started off in a tough game against the Ter- rell Tigers where the Wildcats came out on top 14-6. The competition picked up a little at Henderson but the Cats defeated the Lions by four points in the end. The next two games came pretty easily for the Freshman team beating West Mesquite 32-8, and McKinney 28-20. District lay rolled around and the Cats were fired up and ready to go. They sliiut out their first district opponent and stunned the next, olding a light point lead throughout the ame. As the Wildcats traveled to Paris, the took a hard blow. Theiost their first game 12- 28. The Cats bouncedlback and won the next three games and ended the season by dominating Hallsville 32-4. We had an exciting season. I hope we can contribute our talents to the Varsity someday, said Robert Cody. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM IFront1Iimmy Iohnson, ustin Stanley.

They began with a tough game against Paris and lost in a three-game match. After that warm-up game, it was u hill for the IV Lady Cats. They faced Liberty-E lau and Hallsville tldr back to back victories which boosted the moralle of the team. They went into the Greenville tournament fired up and came out with Consolation ratings by defeatin Wylie and Commerce. The consistent serves this team made kept them in the winning cir- cle. They rolled over Mt. Pleasant 15-9, 15-12 and stood tall in the sec- ond confrontation against Paris in three matches 15-7, 12-15, and 15- 13. The IV Lady Cats ended the year with an impressive record of 10-4. Short but sweet could describe the 1985 Freshman Volleyball season as the young Lady Cats only played seven games this year. Although the Lady Wildcats lost their opening ame against Green- ville, they fought back in the North Lamar match coming out on top 15-3, 15-6. Next, they faced Rockwall in three tough matches finding themselves the victor once again. Paris seemed to come as hard shock, for the young freshman team fell hard 16-14, 14-15, and 6-15. Pulling themselves together, the Lady Cats won the Consolation trophy in the Greenville tournament where they beat Sherman 15-2, 15-9 and Commerce 15-6, 10-15, 15-10.

Cary Horton, Freshman A new seasong new team membersg and new coach, Ricky Bailey, were just some of the factors about this year's Iunior Varsity Basket- ball team. This season was not a successful one as far as winning goes, but was successful as far as learning. That was what being on the IV was all about. It was the learning stage just before Varsity level. There were four key players on this IV team who have a promising future ahead on the Varsity. Sophomore, Point Guard, Forrest Hurley was one of them with a 12 point per game average. The next one was Iunior Post, Stephen Iohnson. He had a 12.5 point per game average and a 11.2 rebound per game average. Stephen Sutton, a Sophomore Post, had an 8.7 rebound per game average, and Freshman Post stand- out Cary Horton, pla ed only six games and had a 16.5 point per game average and a 10.6 rebound per game average. I really am glad we had such a great record this season because it means a great record in store for us when we get to varsity level, said Iunior, Stephen Iohnson.

The Wildcats opened up their season with an astonishing victory of 51-25 over Rivercrest. This was only the beginning. The young Cats stormed through four more straight games with some easy wins. Then they met u with Gilmer and suffered a tough loss 35-47. Directly after the Gillmer ame the Wildcats were defeated twice consecutive- ly by Denison and Mount Pleasant. Finally, after getting their stuff back together, the Cats defeated both Paris and Paris W1 to add to their winnin record. They later suf- fered one more loss to Mount Pleasant 34-29gbefore their final game against Paris. The Cats prevailed 66-57 to wind up their season. They had one key player, Cary Horton, who played on the freshman and the IV teams. I hope that the results of this year's season will continue in the years to come. Maybe we can have a winning Varsity season when we get older, freshman, Iohn Edwards, said. The head coach this year was Collin Clark. He really did have the team on a great workout program. The proof of this is shown in the excellent results of their overall winning record of 9 wins and 4 osses. We had a tremendous season. The hard work really aid off, but you always expect to do better in years to come, freshman, Chad Folmar, said.

Bridgett Murray, freshman, also added several points to the board. Kyna Massey, also freshman, stood out as a team leader. IV coach, Karey Brice com- mented, Kyna kept the team going with her good attitude and uplifting words on the practice court and in the game. The scoreboard looked good for the IV Lady Cats because they won most of their games by ten points or more. They started off well in pre- district play losing only one game to West Lamar which pre ared them for their tou h district season. The IV girls beat Kilgore in tllie opening game but fefl to Hallsville losing by only two points. They came u against Mt.

At every track meet the Freshmen attended with the Varsity they had to compete in the IV division, with the exception of District. They placed at every meet and never finished lower than sixth. Iohn Edwards, freshman hurdler, was an outstanding runner. He plac- ed at every meet in both the 110 meter High Hurdles and the 300m ln- termediate hurdlers. His greatest accomplishment was at the District meet in Hallville where he came in second in the 110m hurdles with a time of 16.02 seconds. He finished second in the 300 intermediates with a time of 41.97, both of the events being in the Freshman division. Edwards also ran on the 400m relay where he was the anchor leg. Ioe Crook, Freshman, also competed well at the District meet. He finished fifth in the 110m high's running a time of 18.25 seconds. He also placed in the 300m intermediates with a 44.59 time. There were also some other members who represented Sulphur Spr- ings well at the District meet. Kip McAlister, Freshman shot and Discus thrower, finished second in the discus throwing 114'. He finished fourth in the Shot with a throw of 38'1 . Also, Iames Wright placed sixth in this event throwing 36'11 . Edwards also did well in the field events.

These six included Francie Bell, seniorg Merv Brott and Ioy Seely, juniorsg Iennifer Bell, Teresa Boles, and Ann Kirkpatrick, freshmen. The runners spent most of their time working out alone because, as Merv Brott put it, You have a hard time finding someone to run eight miles with! Ann Kirkpatrick explained cross country training, You have to run, run, and run some more. Each contestant ran anywhere from five to ten miles a day. The cross country team went to three meets including the District meet in Kilgore. As a team, the girls qualified for Regional competi- tion, while Merv missed the Regional Meet by one place.

THE STRONGEST IN THE U.S. Tommy Dix- on demonstrates his strength as he shows why he is the strongest in the nation. Through the years, the Wildcat off season program has developed many young boys into strong athletes, but never has the off-season produged a National Powerlifting Champion, until Tommy came aroun . Tommy Dixon, a standout defensive tackle and nose guard for the Wildcats, rose to the top this year and snatched something Sulphur Springs High School had never had before, a national champion. Dixon placed first in the National meet held on Mothers' Day in Oklahoma City this year. Dixon placed second in last year's state meet as a junior, but determination and hard work gave Tommy the strength to win in every meet he competed in this year. Dixon broke the state record this year lifting an unbelievable 620 pounds on the squat, 330 pounds on the bench press and deadlift of 585 to give him a total lift of 1535 pounds and the state crown. In the national meet, he lifted 1564 pounds in the 3 categories with 606 pounds deadlift, 628 pounds squat and 330 pounds at the bench press. With these 3 lifts, Dixon was named outstanding individual performer in the national competition. It's not often that the off-season program has National Champions, but it does try to develop many boys into strong, dedicated athletes. This year the off-season added a new twist to their winter rogram called plyometrics. Plyometrics was a combination of endjurance, coordination and strengthening skills which may help future football seasons.

The Student Council and the FFA-FHA planned Christmas dances to benefit the Hopkins County Food Pantry. Each stu- dent was required to bring 2 can- ned goods to enter the dance. The food was used to benefit the needy of Hopkins County. We gathered a lot of food that will really be put to good use.

The time came once a ain for those second year memliers of the NHS to be honored, but for the new members it was a new and exciting experience. The time for the initiation was set to be on December 5. The night finally arrived and the second year members were individually recognized. The new members were honored one-by-one as they lit the traditional candles and were pinned with the ribbon pins. The annual speeches were given, and the honorable occa- Excel sion was over in approximately thirty minutes. Another great honor that many students received was to be named as an honorary student by one of the man clubs in Sulphur Springs. The cllubs that honored such students were the Optimist Club, the Lion's Club, the Rotary Club, the Iaycees Club and the Woman's Forum Club. Each of these clubs meet on certain days, in certain months, and at various restaurants for breakfast or lunch. Durin these meetings, each club honors specific students that are seniors at S.S.H.S. IT was a great honor being chosen as a Lion's Club honoree. I enjo ed going to the meeting and talliing with people from the community, jennifer Bell said. GOOD!

The strain and drive to receive first place is hard work. In the end, the determina- tion, pain and work pays off. Several clubs articipated in different contests lbut the Future Farmers of America and the VICA really did an outstanding job and made a great contribution. Mark Robinson entered his project in the VICA state voca- tional competition and won first place. I was sorta surprised that my project got first p ace, but I was really glad, commented Mar1kRobinsonk d d d T eFFA wor e , lanne ,an strived putting together different teams to compete in the variety of contests. For example: the FFA 162 Clubs X radio team which tells about an ag related topic. The skills team exhibits a certain ty e of ag skill. The livestock Iudjging Team judges cows, igs, and sheep. The Grass Identification team iden- tifies the grass ty es and lists their different clgaracteristics. The Ag mechanics team repairs a certain article and then is judged. State competition for the FFA members moves from city to city every year. Last year, competi- tion was in Houston. In recent years competition has been in Dallas, Fort Worth, Amarillo, Lubbock and San Antonio. I really enjoyed competing against different teams.

This was all true for the Future Homemakers of America who stayed busy throughout the year with numerous activities. FHA is a fantastic organization that keeps young people at S.S.H.S. involved. To start the year off, the members of the FHA had a back- to-school watermelon party, membership drive, officer elec- tion and an officer piarty. Also, in September, the omemaking department ran a concession stand at one of the football ames. In October, the first of- ficial meeting was held in the school library. The new officers and new members were initiated. Later in October, the second meeting was held at the city park. The meeting was a Wiener roast honorin the dads. The projects for Octoimer were candy sales, a trip to the Leisure Lodge Nursing Home, and the homemakers ha a chance to adopt a grandparent TIME TO CHOW DOWN.

Moving on into the year, the FHA projects were the Christmas Open House for Faculty, an of- ficer Christmas party, and the Empty Stocking Fund. The FHA, along with the FFA, had a Christmas dance in the Ag building. In February, the Regional FHA meeting was held at john Tyler High School in Tyler. Vocational Education Week and Future Homemaker Week were also in February. Members of the Homemaking I, II, and III classes continued to stay busy throughout the re- mainder of the year.

These and many other comments can be heard from most classrooms on a normal day. To break the monotony of the same old routine, some teachers allow their students to go on field tritps. I think that field trips are a re reshing change from the same old daily routine, Bently Ford, senior, said. Duwayne Keahey, drafting teacher, took his classes to Rockwell International where they viewed over a million dollars worth of Computer Aided Draft- ing eqjuipment. The students were a le to view drafting more in terms of a career than a class and viewed the working condi- tions first hand. I believe the students will recall more about the Rockwell tour than they will any other single day's activities in drafting, Keahey said. BUSINESS LAW.

This year, though, one procfluct became very po u ar and proved to be a big selrller - candy. -Five different grouips chose to use some type of can y as a fund raiser like chocolate candy bars, Sweetarts, Spree and the most popular, M8zM's. Both the drill team and Spanish club sold M8zM's at two different times and the students really enjoyed this since this candy was not sold at school in the machines or snack bar. VOE and FHA also had candy sales during the year. At Christmas time the drill team and athletic department made an appeal to those needing gift ideas. T e drill team sold Words of Christmas. These woodenxheliday greetin s also held small candles. The athletes sold Christmas tree ornaments in the form of little pillows. Students could choose from ted- dy bears, pup ies and snowmen. Mugs which the athletic depart- ment also sold made an appearance rt club. A Yvette Acres help Spanish Club sell candy. in April. The mugs could be ordered with the colors and emblem of several different col- legiate and professional teams or even in blue and gold with the Wildcat on it. All the athletes helped in the fund raiser. All of the fund raisers during the year rovided many new materials for tffe organizations or paid for trips. The Spanish club used their money to send some students to San Antonio for the State Conven- tion. The profits from the drill team fund raisers helped out on the expenses for the contest trip and new costumes. The athletic funds helped to furnish new and improv- ed equipment. Each school organization could have two fund raisers during the year. The clubs usually spread out their fund raisers having one in the fall or Christmas and another in Sprin . Also, only one sale could exist during a sin le week. Clubs also usedgone other project as a reliable money maker. Bake sales could be held durin all three lunches for one week. Kicfs enjoyed having the op ortunity of getting to buy homemaclle goodies. MOVIE ANYONE? Cheryl Rhoades helps TYIA take money for a movie during UIL competition.

They spon- sored dances, Homecoming ac- tivities, the ice cream supper, Fall Forum, voter's registration, and the various elections. Through all of these activities, student involvement has increased. Safety committee members of the Student Council also rovid- ed the elementary schools with help concerning Halloween safe- t for the children. Each member cfiessed in a costume of his choice, went to the schools, and talked to the kids giving them pointers on trick-or-treating. I think the kids really listened to our advice because they were in awe of us and the costumes we had on, Dana Stewart, junior, said. This year, the Student Council held the office of vice-president in its district. At the Spring Forum they were elected presi- dent for next ear. Stuent Coun- cil members also won one of the top five projects in the district. I feel our Student Council will make an excellent president next year, Mrs. Mary Lou Durham, Student Council sponsor, said. The Student Council officers attended the TASC State Con- vention in Austin on May 1 and 2. There state awards were given and state offices were elected. Although our Student Council did not run for state office, they were allowed five votes for the schools that were running for of- fice. I really enjoyed going to the state convention. I met a lot of people, learned a lot, and had a real good time, Mindy Mangum, junior, said. Officers elected for the 1986-87 school will be attending a sum- mer workshop in the middle of Iuly. This is required to hold an office so that they may attend the state convention next year. Student Council- 173 :, . :ff:'Js5+Fq-5-- A : '..1 . 5Q::,, :I fyf: 1t:: wig..

The were able to talk with the vendors at markets and also with the waiters in restaurants in the Spanish language. At the Con- vention Center students learned Hispanic dances and songs. Durig their stay they also visited the Alamo. We had a well rounded tripg cultural awareness, historical enlightenment and a big measure of fun, Senora Den- nis, Spanish Instructor, said. A tour of the Sunken Gardens, a visit to the San Antonio Zoo, and marchin in the Battle of Flowers Parade were some of the activities the Band participated in while staying in San Antonio. On the way, they stopped in San Marcos to visit Aquarena Springs. Then the students at- tended the Hall of Texas Cultures Exhibit in Hemisfair Park and visited the Alamo the following day. The final day of the trip, band members visited the capitol and the LBI Library. In other language activities, two Spanish II groups entered the Austin College Foreign Language contests. Larry Vaughn, Iodi Thesing, Ieff Baxley, Anthony Medina and Wesla Bradshaw entered the drama section and performed El Macho. They won first place for their perfor- mance. T e song section was entered by Angela Gentry, Gelena Gentry, Ioel Purl, and Barbara Yarbrough. They rated a second place. Several students attended the trip to San Antonio and learned several new customs.

Mixed emotions filled the air as the announcement of the new cheerleaders was made. Thrilled with the final outcome, these girls realized that a big task was ahead of them as thoughts of football season quickly entered their minds. The varsity squad chosen included seniors, Dana McComb, and Dana Keahey and juniors, Mindy Mangum, Iennifer Fuhrmann, Debbie Green, Dana Stewart, Staci Melvin, and Meredith Iennings. Iunior varsit members were so homores, Katfiy Branon, Am Hudson, and Christy Hale, and freshmen, Karen Branon, Kristy Vaughn,andMarcieMcGahee. The first step toward those plans meant attending summer camp at East Texas State University where both cheerleading squads learned cheers, chants,routinesandspiritbuildingac- tivities.

The spirit building didn't end with football season, thou h. It continued right through basketfnall season and into the spring sports. Even though the cheerleaders were not as visible dur- ing the latter sports, they still kept the encouragement coming to al the athletes. On top of the duties that these girls tended to throughout the year, the also attended some competition. Botff squads combined forces to enter the Midwest Regionals in Oklahoma City.

It also left behind friend- ships that had been made between wagon train par- ticipants and students here. Riding on this history-making trip will be a once in a lifetime experience for many, and since it started here, it makes it even a little more special. Shawn Massey was one of the lucky ones who was able to ride on this history-making trip across Texas for two weeks. Meeting up with the train in Winnsboro, Holley Hawkins and Pam Anderson were allowed to ride on the Wrangler wagon to Quitman. Meeting the driver of the wagon was an experience in itself because he had been involved in rodeos and other western events in Wyoming and had plenty of stories to share. Donna Burton and Francie Bell had the opportunity to meet two Cody Manufacturing riders who were hired to ride for the entire six months. They even took a week- end off to join the train in Houston. While many students spent their spring break skiing on the slopes of Colorado, faculty and stu- 180 People dents were heading back to the wagon train. of our teachers who could be seen blazing the were Mr. Les Iones and Mrs. Deana Hefner. Iones's family were driving the Grandy's wagon they decided to pay them a little visit. Mrs. H and her family joined the Cody Marketing vi for a few days. Steve Patrick, Stacey Patrick, Frazier, and Paige Whitworth were a few of ones who loved it so much in Ianuary they de to rejoin at spring break. Several students and faculty planned to catch with the wagon train as soon as school ended, ride the final miles with it. Mrs. Marynell B traveled to Gainsville to let her children catch train and ride for a day. Several of the students had been on the trail before planned to meet wagon train at the Fort Worth stock yards to join on the final celebration in Iuly. These students and faculty were very forti to be one of the few who could be a part of wagon train. The friendships made and the times together on the trail will be remembered for long time.

Becoming a School Favorite takes several qualifications but the most important qualification is that they participate and have really good attitudes. The two people that were selected as School Favorites are Iennifer Kennedy and I. D. Mitchell. Iennifer is a fourth year member of the varsity Ten- nis team, a member of the Student Council, and is Vice-President of F.C.A. I.

Seniors must face tough decisions When one becomes a senior there are many deci- sions to be made. In the fall senior pictures are made and the decision of what to wear is the tou hest choice to make. After making it over that bricfge the next decision is how many pictures to order when they finally arrive. When everything is going smoothly and there couldn't possibly be any other decision to make, Balfour arrives and the seniors are faced with how many announcements should be ordered and Whether or not to reveal their entire name on the cards. For the graduating seniors the next big step to take is what to do after graduation, and that is just the beginning of many more decisions that will have to be made.

But for Kristi Hall and David Pool that second mile came naturally. True friends are hard to come by these days but when you have Kristi and David as friends what more could one ask for? They enjoyed do- ing favors for their friends, and expected nothing in return. These two students took ride in going out of their way to be nice, when tffey had other things to do, too. The enjoyed helping their friends with homework, doing special favors, and just being there with a big reassuring smile. Kristi could always be counted on to be there with her big smile and kind words, and David almost always found time to stop and say Hi while passing in the hall. Keeping up that friendly attitude will always be a trait that Kristi and David will be remembered by. Knowing they could always be the ones that would say a few friendly words while passing in what many students find good in Kristi and David. 6 6 Being friendly to people isn't all that hard.

My -ni X Y' Style setters voted best dressed The latest fashions and the newest styles were alwa s found first on Leann Carpenter and Sean Franklin. A touch of class was added to the dreary halls of Sulphur Springs Hi h School as these two students walked into tie building. They could always be found dressed in the hot- test fashions around. Their clothes added a little sparkle and pizzazz to the school year. Whatever the occasion whether it was a football game, a night out on the town or even a hard workout, Leann and Sean were sure to be wearing just the right thing. Most people at school only dressed up on special occasions, but Leann and Sean made it an everyday thin . Only once in awhile did one ever see them slola out. As Best Dressed the set trends and new styles for other students andyfriends. Their taste in clothes was not only unique, but fashionable and a surprise for others to see each day at school. They paid close atten- tion to the little things that were coming in style and were usually the first ones to have it. Leann and Sean were always on top of the fashion list with a new wardrobe every month. DOES THIS MATCH?

Crackin jokes, making funny faces, and begin quick to tiiink of a funny unch line qualified Stacey Patrick and Brad Miglsap to be voted Most Wittiest. These two comedians always knew how to make a very boring class more exciting and a great way to stall the teacher. Stacey was known for being able to keep the Economics class going when there was a lull in activity. En lish class 'ust wasn't the same when Brad waqked into the room, and lots of times Mrs. Law wished it would be like it used to be. Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Law may have felt like pulling their hair out, but the rest of the class en- joyed it. Makin the good times more fun, cutting up in class, tefling jokes in the hall, raising a friend's s irits with something funny, and always looking at the funny side of a bad situa- tion were 'ust a few characteristics that came naturall for Stacey and Brad. They always shared tlie ability to make a sad or unhap y per- ion smile and that is one of the greatest talents to ave. 6 6 Being the class clown I guess comes naturally. I like to cut up and I guess everyone enjoys it, too. 9 9 Brad Millsap, senior S tk 2 15 5 g- - . . , ,Q - 'S 1 gt 3 LT-H 'T ' I F STEVE PATRICK Golf 9-123 Football 93 Vo.

These words could also be used to describe Dana McComb and lay Iohnson. These two students were elected Most School Spirit. Dana has been a cheerleader for four years and lay has cheered on school activities. Cheering on the Wildcats telling them to keep up their good work, and wishing them good luck were words of encouragement that the team needed this year whether they were winning or losing. Dana and Iay were the two that always gave the little ex- tra push to keep them going. These qualities were the reasons that these two were selected as Most School Spirit.

It was the end of November when the Powder Puff ractice began. After go- ing throu h plays for albout two hours a night they finally got it all together. The Iuniors dominated the entire game, there was no stop- pinglthem. T ey had been through hard testing, crucial playing and then it was time to choose colors and the song for the Iunior-Senior Prom.

You're not the new kid on the block anylmore, and you're not quite an upperclassman eit er. Laura Oxford recalls, My sophomore year was worse than my freshman year because you don't get much attention. Several students expressed their annoyance about being a sophomore by saying, you're just going with the flow. There are a few different things about be- ing a sophomore, like taking Drivers Education and turning sixteen. I can't wait until I get my license, I hate having to be driven somewhere by my mom and dad, comments Mark Yant. There always seems to be tons of freshmen, remarks Michelle Moody. The sophomore class contained 280 people this year, with just about ten more boys than girls. 6 6 This year isnlt as bad as I expected, but the classes seem to be getting harder. 9 9 Miranda Crump, sophomore K Q i if s.,, , Mx, A ,-Qvfx V7 16 JY 4 is ,fit Rsi5 'lif1 +5 r.

Ross went to a private schoo one semester before going to school at home for two and one half years. As a junior he decided it was time to come back to public school. He returned because of God, my own desire to come back, the social life and because at home you have to be ver self motivated and there are less courses to choose from. Ross said there are advantages and disadvan- tages to both public school and school at home. Ross liked the things he was able to do that others were not, but he also missed being with his friends.

The voice belongs to Iason Frazier, a senior, who has been singing since he was six years old. He started singing with his mother and father in a small country church. He has made much progress in his vocal career since then. Iason has traveled to Kansas City with the National FFA Choir. In the High School Choir State Competition he received the honor of being named as state alter- nate. Sin in is not a hobby for me, but an art that should ie respected, Iason said. While representing the Church of God in a singing com- petition he was named top in the state in solo and in percussion. Iason has been selected to tour Europe with the Sound of America in Iune 1986. The European tour is not only a great experience in my singing career but also in my educational learning, Iason commented.

Administrators examine future district needs Planning for the future needs of our school district has been a priority for the administration and school board this year. We are mainly looking at the needs for the 1988-89 school year, Dr. Leonard Merrell, superintendent, said. With most of the problems arising from House Bill 72, adjustments are still being made. Additions of new classrooms and gym facilities have been built to help accommodate the growing population of our schools. We are growing faster than expected, and we are trying to handle that now - especially the situation at the high school, Dr. Merrell com- mented. This year the high school had several teachers who didn't have permanent rooms, and had to change classes just like the students. Another problem that will face the high school next ear is the anticipated increase of more than 150 students. The adding of new classrooms in the future is expected in hopes of lowering the student -teacher ratio. The middle school added a new wing to existing buildings so that new subjects could be introduced. Every elementary school also received a new gym that can be converted to classroom s ace as needed. Classrooms were also added where necessary, ang every school has put their new additions to use except the high school where the new gym is expected to be completed by the end of this school year. 236 People HOLDING A NEW POSITION.

But man students at our high school see their parents requently during the day because they are teachers here. Having arents as teachers offers both advan- tages an disadvantages. Some of the advantages are being able to ride together and save on gas money. It is kind of neat having my dad here because if anything happens or ifl m having pro- blems I can talk to him Dana Keahey senior said. Her dad Duane Keahey is the drafting teacher. Some disadvantages of both the student and y Iohn Dur am. His mom Mary Lou Dur am is a counselor and knows his grades before he does.

Strenuous workouts and plenty of Willpower helped Marc McGahee set a new school record in pole vaulting. Marc's vaulting talents were proven when he placed second in state competition. Winning exceeded state level, and extended all the way to nationals when Tommy Dixon won first in the national powerlifting meet in Oklahoma City. Our local celebration reached academic 282 Closing Section achievements as well as athletic. In district UIL competition our academic team won sweepstakes, and from the fourteen who advanced to regionals five went on to state competition. Representing SSHS in Austin were Ieral Poskey, Angie Marcis, Nikki Ham, Menzie Chase, and Kathy Brannon. Kathy placed second in typewriting. As school came to a close seniors anticipated graduation and counted down the days. Traditional graduation parties, end of the year banquets, and the Dairy Festival highlighted the spring events that capsuled 1985-86 A YEAR OF CELEBRATION. FULL OF ENTHUSIASM.
