Students and teachers catch the wave in the 1987- 88 school year by working hard and showing pride and spirit. It has been a productive year, said junior Joseph Flo- res. It was learning experi- ence, he said, It was an in- teresting, fun, and memora- ble year. School is not just a place to Senior Chris Keeney gives it his all at the basketball game against the Woodsboro Ea- gles. learn, but also a place to meet new friends and have fun. It's a place where you get many of the best and worst memories of your life. I feel that this school year has been interesting and a learning experience for me, said junior Cheryl Anne Bai- ley, Taft High School is a good school. I like the school days in Taft because they go by very fast! Freshman Jo Ann Vela works on specialized vocabulary and details while doing NFL cards during second period Correlated Lan- guage Arts class. I also like all the great ad- vantages here at Taft High, she said. I really enjoyed meeting people, and getting out of school at 3:30! High School students only have four years of high school and so many memo- ries. Catch the Wave of Taft High and have a great time! Eat 'em up. Eat 'em up. Rah! Rah! Rah!

Catch the Challenge of a new year. During a pep rally, Seniors George Gonzales and Scott Garrett go over their speech. Put away the surfboard and bring out the paper and pencil. The surf is down and school has started. Resting and relaxing is be- ing replaced by reading and writing. Taft High School students spent their summer resting and relaxing in different ways. Freshman Stephany Abies said she spent ner summer hanging around the pool and watching my favorite soaps. Now that school has start- ed, students have taken on a more serious outlook. Excited about the new year, Wayne Rivera said, I looked forward to a greater academic challenge my senior year. Tracy Rciley — Introduction 3 Surf's up and down That's life With the passing of sum- mer and the coming of school many good and bad tidings come. The never-ending flow of homework, sadness of loss, tears of joy, and thrill of vic- tory appear in mass quantities as the year begins. I have about an hour and a half of homework every night, and take home about five books a week, said Ches- ter Koonce, senior. Crude remarks and sad fac- es are seen throughout the day when one loses a game, but a brilliant glow and the feeling that nothing can stop one are present in times of victory. 1 felt good because we won our first district game and happened to be on our homecoming, and that made it feel even better, said Rich- ard Holland, sophomore. Just as the seasons change from extremes to mediums and back again so do the feel- ings of one and then another. Tears of joy are wiped away as Veronica Saldana is crowned Football Sweetheart with Rene Martinez and her father, Sonto Saldana, looking on. 4 Introduction — Brian Griffin Being very enthusiastic about Spanish is Ar- tie Acosta, freshman.

Brian Griffin — Introduction 5 Catch the Faces Many faces around Taft High School are very famil- iar, but none are the same. “It's nice to walk down the halls and see so many famil- iar face!,” Sean Robertson, junior, said. No matter how much someone tries to be like some- one else they will always be an individual. “Everyone has their own and unique personality,” Mollie Mauch, sophomore, said. All of the classes have their own way of doing different things and so do the people that make up the closes. “The only way to do things is to do them cool, Joseph Flores, junior, said. Not only are the students different but the teachers are too. “The teachers who have traveled around the world and that have been exposed to different cultures have a greater knowledge of the world, Mrs. Dylcia McK- enzie, foreign language teacher, saia. So no matter how much someone looks like another person they are very different as one catches the faces at Taft High. Surprised, freshman Pete Cavazos hits the right note. Conducting class Mrs. Suzi Gatz, accounting teacher, gives a lecture. Getting ready for class sophomore Mollie Mauch cracks up in accounting. Staying out of trouble junior Joseph Flores rolls film during seventh period. Not knowing what to do sophomore Pete Acosta attempts to roll film. Life of a senior The Seniors have had a very busy and strenuous year. They have been occupied by the preparations of the bonfire and Homecoming rit- uals. Senior Tracy Reiley said, I didn't feel the difference at first, but now I realize this is my last year, and I wish I would have put more effort into my previous years at THS. As the year has slowly passed, the Senior class of 1988 has studied for their SAT, ACT, TEAMS, and col- lege entrance exams. Senior Ralph Lopez said, “Being a senior feels wonder- ful inside because only once in your lifetime you get a chance at being a senior at Taft High School. As the graduates of 1988 go on in their lives, they will always remember the expe- riences they have been through each year at Taft High. 8 Seniors — Amy Brown Acosta, Eddie Aguirre, Josie Alvarez, Joe Alvarez, Norma Aranda, Martin Arellano, Nancy Arguijo, Mark Avalos, Patricia Bustillos, Patricia Cervantez, Johnny Cisneros, Carol Cook, Jerry Cruz, Monica DeLaCruz, Tony Diaz, Terry Duprie, Stephanie Laboring diligently at collecting wood for the bonfire are seniors Jerry Perkins, Adam Gonzalez, and Dale Mutchler.

The year can be filled with so many things, said Monica Cruz. Indeed it can. Being a senior means getting all of the extra priv- ileges. Getting out of class to order invitations is only one of the many advantages given to seniors. Taking pictures this year for the seniors set them apart from everyone else also. One way to look at being a senior is by recognizing how much money you spend, said Rae Lynne Wil- liams. The bonfire is another se- nior exclusive. Being a senior is a symbol of success. To some the class of '88 might just be remembered as a class, but to seniors, said Josie Aguirre, It was proving Seniors stay busy to ourselves and others we ing proud of. can do something worth be- Seniors — Nick Gonzales Caught by surprise is Dale Mutchler in Ag.

Nick Gonzales — Seniore 11 Seniors strive for a memorable year Being a senior took a lot of work, a lot of time, and usually a whole lot of patience. Seniors collected wood and built a bonfire for the Homecoming football game. 'The building of the bonfire was a lengthy process, and it took some work to build, but it was worth every minute of time we spent on it to see it bum to the ground 5 said senior John- ny Cervantes. Seniors worked hard to pass all their classes and the TEAMS so they would not have to come back for an- other year. Seniors Monica Cruz and Emi Elizondo work on picking up wood for the bonfire. Joe Alvarez and Eddie Acosta, seniors, work on an assignment in CLA. 12 Seniors — Chester Koonce Jefferson, Shawn Keeney, Chris Koonce, Chester Koonce, Yvonne Lopez, Pete Lopez, Ramon Maldonado, Belinda Maldonado, Debbie Maldonado, Lisa Martinez, Juanita Martinez, Michele Martinez, Rene Martinez, Ruben Mendez, Josie Mendoza, Sylvia Montemayor, Monica Montes, Sammy Moreno, Loretta Mutchler, Dale Naranjo, Felipe Olivio, Scotty Ortiz, Manuel Ortiz, Rudy Perkins, Jerry Powell, Randy Puentes, Mary Ann Reiley, Tracy Rendon, Maria Rivera, Humberto Rivera, Wayne Rodriguez, David Rodriguez, Gabriel Rodriguez, Jessica Saldana, Veronica Sanchez, Ruby Williams, Rae Chester Koonce — Seniors 13 Catch the Rocking Juniors The Juniors have had too much to do and too little time to do it in. Joseph Flores, junior, said, Life is good and being a member of the class of '89 is cool. Although they have been studying real hard, they still find time to go to games and dances. They spent their money on annuals, tea, dues, and ath- letic admission. Even with everything go- ing on we still find time for our 'private activities', jun- ior Steven Aparicio said. The Juniors have been par- ticipating in all the sports and academics in school. Heather King, junior, said, We have always been active, but now we realize we only have a couple years left, and we want to try everything we can to be the best. The juniors took time to in- dulge in the new fads and fashions with hi-top, faded jeans and mini skirts. They found Mr. Vinay Du- lip, chemistry teacher, and Mr. Richard Eleazer, math teacher, to make a big influ- ence. So with so little time to catch all the memories they could, the juniors stayed busy. 14 Juniors — Rosie Jimenez The Rifle Corps waits patiently to start marching during the football game.

They have participated in prom decorations and started preparation for life after high school by applying to colleges, for scholarships, and looking for jobs. They have also taken upon new responsibilities along with new found leadership abilities. Many participants in varsity sports ana UIL events were Jun- iors. Life of a Junior during the ear of 1987-1988 at Taft High chool has been a good one, said junior Danny Benford. Favorites of the JUNIORS of 88.

The sophomore class tends to follow new styles no matter what people think. “Many of the sophomore class used stonewash jeans and Guess jackets, said Carlos Aguilar.

But for the people that do listen they say it's the rap mu- sic itself that makes them lis- ten to it. Sophomores said one can really have fun when one just gets all into the music. “Rap music is the only way to live, said Anthony McK- inney. Even though sophomores are more into rock music they find time for rap. They say that rap music is the best way for them to ex- press how they feel. Chris Cliburn, sophomore, said that L. L.

Freshmen are usually thought of as fish, mullet, gators, or tuna, but fish are people too. On a poll taken in the month of November, six questions were asked. The results confirmed that Freshmen were people just like us. The freshmen liked this school year and said that high school was what they expect- ed. Their favorite classes were English and Health. The teachers that have in- fluenced them the most were Mrs. Rachel Wilken, fresh- man English teacher and Mrs. Alicia Flores, Homemaking teacher. We should have longer lunch periods and improved building facilities, said Rob- bie Moreno. Cheryl Bailey — Freshmen 27 Catch the Freshmen Fears The freshmen seem cheer- ful and fun. They are but deep inside they have fears. Some ranging from being in a room in the dark alone to facing the varsity quarter- back. My biggest fear is walking home alone at night, said Mitch Delin. Even the Freshmen football players have fears. My biggest fear is failing, said Rene Moreno. So you see freshmen are not all calm and cool.

She also said, “There are some people that make fun of us, but it isn't all that bad. They call us wipeouts, but we're out to prove them wrong. Most people put freshmen down because they are un- derclassmen. Actually they're not. They're part of this high school, too. They always have been and always will be. Let's hear it for the fish.

The School Board and administration set goals and objectives for the Taft I.S.D. Some things that the School Board has done is to repair the hall ceiling at the high school, the track surface, the roof of the high school, the parking lot, and adding more reference materials to the library which will be an on going process, said Principal Ralph Garrett. Among the improvements the school board had to work within a budget. The trustees indicated they plan to work within a tight budget, keeping taxes at the present level if at all possible, but also main- taining and upgrading facilities and instruc- tional needs, said Superintendent Arthur McMillin.

I appreciate their ques- tioning minds, openness, en- ergy, and basic vitality, phe- nomenal goodness. 1 both teach them and learn from them. It is an ideal situation, she said. It's not always teaching that teachers do; it is also a learning experience to them. I always enjoyed learning; when you stop learning you stop living, said Mrs. Dorothy Ralph.

Teachers participated in different spirit raising events some of these were the kiss- the-pig contest, wearing of the football jerseys, dressing up for Halloween and sup- porting the different teams. Many teachers liked partic- ipating in spirit activities be- cause they care. Mrs. Janie Suarez, Corre- lated Language Arts aide, said, I really like it; I'm all for it. It keeps me feeling young. Teachers also sponsor dances, field trips, and con- tests. I think that if teachers can spend their time teaching, then they should have their fun, too, freshmen Frances Martinez said. Teachers are as much a part of the school as the students either in the classroom or in extracurricular activities.

There are countless num- bers of activities here at Taft High School, from athletics to zooming in and out of the parking lot at lunch. Junior Greg Sutton said his favorite school activity was doing homework because it provides a challenge and it stimulates the brain. Junior Melissa Brown said her favorite school activity was practicing golf because it relaxed her and she enjoyed it. Sophomore LeAnn Robert- son said that her favorite school activity was process- ing and printing film for the annual.

The Greyhounds won three games, lost six games and tied one game in season play. In district play the team won one game, lost three games and tied one. Although the losses out- numbered the wins. Coach Rick West said, effort was good and the players did their best. Several Greyhounds re- ceived district honors and five players received honor- able mention.

Highlighting the season for the Lady Hounds was the second round of the District against Ingleside. We won the first game 19- 17 and lost the second 15-10. It almost caused a major up- set in the final game, said Coach Brinson. The greatest upset was the amount of inexperienced players in the Junior Varsity team. We were mostly freshmen and we played against soph- omores and even some jun- iors, said Stephany Abies. The Varsity season record was 7-10 with district being 4-6 and a 4th in district.

The boys varsity team edged second place at district in Ingleside. With sophomores Moises Espinoza coming in eighth and Leonard Vasquez in ninth. The girls varsity team cap- tured first with Eva Gonzales coming in fourth and fresh- man Leilani Suarez coming in seventh. Senior Monica Cruz the sole member of the junior varsity also took first. The three teams advanced to regionals in San Antonio. Defeat came in at the re- gional meet when none of the varsity boys advanced, and the girls on the other hand arrived about five minutes late after being lost in San Antonio. They were still able to run after the other girls had al- ready started. Two of the Taft girls, Lei- lani and sophomore Margie Huerta, were still able to pass up some of the runners.

I think the events at Taft High enhanced our school spirit because we were almost the only school who donated money for the Special Olympics, and the spirit counts brought more people to the school events,” said freshman Olivia Benavidez. Some spirit raising activi- ties sponsored by the Student Council were the class com- petitions and the selling of the Taft Beach Club shirts. 50 Spirit Raisers — Amy Brown Senior Chris Keeney observes a football game while Rae Lynn Williams holds onto a Sinton fan.

Teamwork is what makes a team work. I think our losses were caused when we didn't play as a team, said senior David Hernandez. Crowd support really counts and is a part of the motivation that keeps a team alive. When we were fired up and when we knew the crowd was supporting us, we played our best, said senior Chris Keeney. Holding on tight, senior Jerry Cook jumps for a rebound.

The J.V. basketball team knew about winning and how to achieve it, for they wound up 13-7 for the sea- son. I think we did well be- cause of our team work,” said sophomore Richard Holland. We work real hard on this in practice. The freshman team had the idea; but as the six weeks, just before district started, came to a close and grades came out, no-pass no-play took its toll leading to a record of 9- 11. The loss of all but five players really hurt us, but we tried pretty hard, said fresh- man Artie Acosta. Glory, honor, and pride are the things that drive one to win, for the benefit of one- self, the team and the school. We gave it our all and that's what we got, the dis- trict championship, said sophomore Brian Griffin.

The varsity girls showed their stuff in the sport of bas- ketball by coming in third place in district play. The girls were favored to be the last place team, but they caught the wave and rode into to a third place fin- ish in district. The girls would have been in second place if they would have won their last two games, because they were tied with Aransas Pass for second. We worked extremely hard as a team but we should Monica Cruz shoots a free-throw while the Lady Hounds go for the rebound. have worked harder and stayed together, said Debbie Gibson. We would have made it if we would have just pulled off the game against Aransas Pass, but when the buzzer sounded the score was 40- 41, said Jackie Rios. The Lady Hounds ended their season with a record of 11-12. Jackie Rios made the 2nd Team All-District, and Mona Lisa Flores received Honor- able-Mention.

Catch the Lady Hounds The Junior Varsity and the freshman girls started with a bounce under the leadership of Coaches Cynthia Brinson and Diana Robeau. Highlighting the JV season was the game against Rivera, which they won 50-17. We had a very good sea- son. Our strength was in our teamwork and hustle, soph- omore Laura Ann Lopez said. Then the freshman girls worked real hard to win their games. Highlighting the season was the win over West Oso, 32-21. We were excited about be- ginning the season, and we were willing to work hard and win, freshman April King said. The two teams took differ- ent bounces in their records. The junior varsity girls came out in third place while fresh- man girls came in last in dis- trict. Going up for a layup is sophomore Margie Hureta.

Sports is a dangerous ac- tivity that many of our stu- dents are in. I think it is worth getting hurt in football, one of these days it is going to pay off, said Kenric Griffin, junior. It was worth it, said Bob- by Gomez, junior. Although there were a ma- jority of students hurt due to sports accidents, there were some that were hurt in their spare time. I was carrying some boxes Julie Martinets, junior, on crutches at the junior-senior prom. Chad Turany, junior, walks down the hall to his algebra class very slowly. and twisted my ankle, said Larry Graves, sophomore. Some injured themselves while doing their hobbies. I was riding my bike, and my foot got hung up in the spoke, and I sprained my an- kle, said Steve Shedd, soph- omore. Several students were in- volved in car accidents this year. I received a jammed neck while going airborne in my truck, said Andrea Cruz, junior. One student got into a fight with a junior high student. I got into a fight with a junior high student and cracked one of my knuckles and had to wear a cast, said Ben Smith, junior. No matter what the task is, the students try their hardest to accomplish it. Football players seem to take the biggest risks than any other athletes. 1 have never been on crutches before in my life, but look what happened this year, said Richard Fuentes, junior. It just goes to show how much dedication the students have for Taft High. 60 Casts — Cheryl Anne Bailey Ben Smith, junior, holds up his hand for everyone to see. Richard Fuentes and Ponce Trevino, juniors, relax during athletics due to football inju- ries. Steven Shedd, sophomore, asks the pho- tographer a question. Cheryl Anne Bailey — Casts 61 Wheels, Deals Senior Lori Moreno cruises to school in her 1955 Chevrolet truck. and Legs Students and faculty trans- port themselves to and from school in many different ways. Some drive to school, some walk, others take the bus and many catch rides with their friends. However they get to school; they all seem to do it in their own unique and dif- ferent way. Junior Danny Benford said his favorite way to travel to and from school is by taking a brisk morning walk which he claims is refreshing. Junior Patrick Fuchs said he doesn't like to walk but does it only because he has to. Juniors Joseph Flores and Stevan Aparicio park their 73 and '82 Corvettes next to each other during school. Junior Manuel Saldivar has no fear of park- ing his VW bug in the back parking lot.

Eddie Acosta has no fear of parking his precious and unusual truck in the back park- ing lot. Joseph Flores — Wheels S3 . . . Just Because . . . Students are always doing some things for no apparent reason at all. Some do things that have no effect on their lives; others do things just be- cause they have nothing else to do. For instance, the Stu- dent Council had a dance this year, but they didn't have any reason to have the dance, so they just called it a 'Simply Just Because Dance', said sophomore Representative Zera Lott. Students also hang around the school during lunch. I hang around school dur- ing lunch because I have no way of going home, said sophomore Emi Ortiz. Some students don't do their home- work just because they don't feel like doing it, so in- stead they stay up all night and watch MTV. Some stu- dents do things just be- cause they want to. They will go to the beach just be- cause it is a nice and sunny day, and they will party all night just because they want to have a real good time, so when school starts again they will have mem- ories of the past summer. So over all, students can do things just because they want to or just because they don't. Football fans express their spirit just because they want to show their support for the Greyhounds.

Carlo� Aguilar — Just Because 65 The Eating of Junk Food Junk food is a part of stu- dents everyday life. Everybody (including teachers is at the vending ma- chines at least once in a school day, some as many as three times a day. Junk food is to many a ba- sic food group and a favorite. Junk food doesn't supply people with any nutrients, but it is still liked. The fa- vorite junk food in vending machines is a peanut roll, sec- ond favorite is potato chips, and third favorite is barbecue corn chips. Sophomore Artie Galindo said, “They haven't put any- thing I like yet. Although there are some things that are not in these vending ma- chines that some people may like. Many people have been known to stack junk food in purses, lockers, pockets, and even inside their shirts just to keep teachers from catching them. Going through this just to satisfy hunger. Carlos Aguilar said, I take junk food to class, but I let somebody else hold it so they can get in trouble. These actions and many more show ones love towards candy and other junkies; therefore, our vending ma- chines are a splendid choice for a quick dose of junk food. Juniors perform their talent by building a pyramid and trying to blow a bubble. 66 Junk Food — Pete Acosta Junior Johnny Martinez shows us the real meaning of pigging out .

He came in first individual over-all and then went on to tie for seventh place at regionals in Kings- ville. “With the amount of time Larry puts into practice and with continued improvement, I feel he has a good chance to go even further next season, said Coach Rick West. The boys team came in fifth place at district and the girls got fourth. Overall, I was a little dis- appointed because I think the team could have done better at district, said Coach West. The girls had a new team consisting of five new players and two returnees, but that didn't stop the girls from try- ing hard to do well at district.

Some of the members were not impressed with what they came out with. “I was disappointed but there is always next year, said sophomore Jodi Garcia. The team had a rough time getting started but they held it together and helped each other out. They practiced each day trying to get eve- rything right. The highlight of the season was winning, said senior Humberto Rivera. Not all the members got to accomplish that feeling. When district came around, junior Joseph Flores placed third. I was not impressed, but there was no excuse, said Jo- seph. The team had fun and helped each other out. Most of the members were in tennis for their first year. I think 1 did good for my first year, said sophomore Micheal Garcia. All in all the team did well considering it had first year players. They still had a good sea- son, so catch the tennis wave.

The Hounds also highlight- ed the season with a 16 in- ning game against Bishop which ended in a disappoint- ing 9-6 loss.

Practice is one good way of applying what you learned, said junior Shay Coates. If the student takes the time to practice they will be able to do it right the first time. Study time is a time when the student has the chance to go over their work and make corrections they need to make. Practice and study time are good ways of helping the students because if the stu- dent has a problem a teacher is there to help, said senior David Gomez. It prepares the students for testing, a check up of stu- dent's knowledge. School gives the students the knowledge to catch the action of everyday life. 90 Academics — Virginia Cortez Carefully putting the practice film on the reel is sophomore Michelle Crowley.

Lectures can be boring or dull, but they are educational. Lectures are needed to learn about important things in most classes. Teachers are getting stu- dents ready for college. The purpose of lectures are: to introduce the new lessons, and to give the characteristics and steps needed. Some students feel that when a teacher starts lectur- ing, it is time to sleep or a time to pass notes back and forth. Well, I would not know if lectures are educational be- cause everytime I am there I eust tend to fall asleep, said Juan Mendez, junior. There are students in this school that agree that lectures are an essential element to learning. Personally, I completely feel that the majority of the lectures that we stuaents re- ceive, are totally informative; therefore, I feel that nothing, but knowledge is gained, said Stevan Aparicio, junior. Students agree that lectures are needed even though we do not realize it. Lectures are necessary to introduce new materials and to review old. Junior Brian Keeney is distracted from Mrs. Dinah Gallagher's lecture. Coach Xavier Vallejo, history teacher, looks over freshman Mary Lou Perez's work. 92 Lectures — Cheryl Bailey, Rosie Jimenez, Carlos Aguilar Mr. Vinay Dulip, science teacher, begins class. Mrs. Rachel Wilkens, English teacher, grades papers to check the students' mem- ory of the lecture. Coach Cynthia Brinson hurriedly covers the mice. Cheryl Bailey. Rosie Jimenez. Carlos Aguilar — Lectures 93 Catch the Mrs. Janelle Cummins, geometry, writes the objective for today's lesson. Demonstrations It's the time of year again when we all have to learn something new. First of all, to learn something new, stu- dents have to pay real close attention. Second, they have to be able to focus on what is going on in the classroom and not on what is happening out of class. Third, some students take notes on what is being dem- onstrated, so they can recall how the demonstration was done. Fourth, look very carefully at the demonstrations that are being done because if one glances at something else, one might miss out on some- thing important. “Demonstrations have made my study time shorter and my grades higher, said sophomore Rosie Jimenez, who now has time to spare after school to do any tning she wants to do. I have always paid atten- tion to them and they have really helped me a lot this vear, said senior Sylvia Mendoza. So over all, demonstrations can make ones school year easier and help one accom- plish many difficult tasks in life. One learns much faster if someone gives one a demon- stration of how it's done rath- er than being the one doing it alone. Seniors David Hernandez and Patricia Bos- tillos prepare to recite their wedding vows as an assignment for home and family living. 94 Demonstrations — Carlos Aguilar Struggling to put his hom together, is soph- omore Ricky Casanova, who is demonstrat- ing how to put a trombone together. Biology students thoroughly pay attention to Mrs. Ralph explanation. Carlos Aguilar — Demonstration 95 Research, Labs When the second semester rolls around, students know that research papers are to be started. This means days in the li- brary looking up research and meeting bibliography card and notecard deadlines. Some students feel that re- search papers are a test on your working habits. I think that research pa- pers are a test on how good your working habits are and about trying to keep things together, said Stella Rivera, senior. Some students feel that re- search papers are worth the trouble. I thought the research pa- per was a good thing to do, said Richard Holland, soph- omore. Some students feel that re- search papers are a lot of trouble but could help in the future. Research papers are a lot of trouble, but is a thing that will maybe help in the fu- ture, said Josie Mendez, se- nior. Some students feel that the experiments done during labs are interesting. I feel that the labs we do in physical science are inter- esting because you do differ- ent experiments and get dif- ferent results, said Artie Acosta, freshman. Some students feel that labs help them to learn. Labs in biology help me to learn, understand, and see things clearly, said Adri Murphy, sophomore. Carefully observing specimen, sophomore John Martinez uses a microscope in biology. Freshmen type out their assignment. 96 Research — Cheryl Bailey, Rosie Jimenez, Pete Acosta Junior Shane Graber picks out the magazine he needs for his report.

Catch study time, practice Practice and study time makes perfect, whether it is for drama, band, athletics, cheerleading, tutorials, ac- counting, literary events or just plain old studying. Practice makes perfect and is a lot of fun. The cheer- leaders work really hard and spend a lot of hours practic- ing, but it was all worth- while, said senior Tracy Reiley. Everyday people practice and study, even if it is just doing homework. The more you practice the easier it is to achieve your goals, said sophomore Noreen Gonzales. But when students do not practice or study then tutori- als force them to study and practice. It is very important to go to tutorials to get help from the teachers so you can make passing grades, said junior Greg Sutton. That is why tutorials were made mandatory. Senior Juanita Martinez, library aide, assist! Artie Acosta in finding his magazine in thf library. 98 Studytime, Practice — LeAnn Robertson With the aid of a microscope, sophomore Carol Rivera searches for organisms in Bi- ology.

No Regrettin' This year is done and gone. No frowning faces, no sad good-byes, no regrets, and none of that mushy stuff. We've come rode the waves, had our wipeouts, and now there is no looking back except to remember. This year was about mem- ories good and bad alike; the class triumphs and team uni- ty — it was about the spirit of '88, said sophomore Brian Griffin. When things go wrong it causes a chain reaction around here. The day and night of the bonfire, on my senior year, it rained on a continuous basis. The night of the (Homecoming) game it had rained all day and the lights These Waves short circuited so the game was postponed, said Tracy Reiley. The year had to be very flexible because when any- thing that was planned hap- pened something went wrong, said Miss Mary Wolter, journalism and Eng- lish teacher. Some people have the words to sum it all up. The year went fast and fu- rious and so did the grades, said junior Thomas Ynclan. This wave has billowed up until it was almost dangerous, and when it crashed the whole world could hear the thunder; this year it is a wave to be reckoned with, but stand back because it has yet to hit the beach.
