For the most part, entertainment is restricted to whatever one can find to do when one gets tired of everyday activities such as school and work. Although to the untrained eye of an outsider, there may seem to be absolutely nothing to do as far as leisure time is concerned, different methods of enter- tainment have been discovered by those few enterpris- ing people that just have to have something to do every minute of the day for nightj. This is a really nice town, but sometimes doing the same things over and over again can get pretty bor- ing, Senior Susan Preston said. Whenever I find something interesting or different to do, I jump at the chance. Some methods of beating the boredom that have been discovered by fidgety individuals may not be favorites of the adults for the lawj in any small town, but when necessity calls, it is human nature fespecial- ly for teenagersj to listen . . . this means finding whatever there is to do and doing it Qwhen it can be Q . ma Xflfffffl K., FACTORY OUTLET gotten away withlj.

Hanging around at the Gulf station until three ci four in the morning is just one of the many pastime: that have been discovered by kids who just can't bea to stay home. Another favorite is parking cars in fron of the Food Center and visiting with friends. The gameroom is also the place to be when there is al: solutely no other place to be. Then there is always the well-loved hobby of driving around town at night witl' the car windows rolled down and the radio blaring. Nc one seems to mind this breaking of the sound barrier and if they do, one can never hear them screaming about it anyway. Though, because of its location fwhich is far away from any type of civilizationj, Van may sometimes pro ve to be a bit uneventful, but when comparing notes on nearby towns, this one is truly FAR OUT.

While working in class on yearbook themes and layouts, I met many editors from various cities and towns. Following the question, What is your name? came the ominous, What school are you from? I quickly answered, Van, to many bewildered eyes. Van . . . Alstein? No, just Van. This was not the first time such an incident had occur- red. At the District LIIL literary contest a similar situation transpired. This made me wonder how many other students had been asked the whereabouts of Van. Everytime I try to explain where Van is, I end up con- fusing myself, Senior Karen Schmidt said. HI start to wonder ifl really know where I live. Describing our location can be a chore, however, most people simply explain that it is near Tyler, just north of Interstate 20, or 70 miles east of Dallas. It is a small town of 1881 people surrounded by several smaller com- munities. Students of Van Public Schools are, for the most part, natural country folk. Of course, we have a MikePawell Little t0Wl1 blues. With a population of 1881, Van proves to be a small country town. Van is located just off Interstate 20 about 70 miles east of Dallas.

I moved here from the San Fernando Valley, and didn't know what to expect, Senior Shawna Holme said. I wasn't used to wide open spaces, and Van reall came to a shock to me, but it's a nice place to live. Because Van is a close community, many businesse are family owned and operated. The business area, Mai Street, consists of a restaurant, barber shop, pharmacy a couple of clothing stores and insurance agencies, an three gas stations. Other businesses exist, however, suc as a hardware store, video arcade, affiliated grocer store, florists, dentist office, and other necessities Although Van is small, special memories collect. I made a lot of great friends here and we have had lot of fun together. Those are memories I will alway, have, Freshman Matt Wright said. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the school.

Although Van hosts such captivating activities as visiting the game room, sitting at the Gulf, or cruis- ing the 2-block area of main street, many students prefer to go on outings to Tyler or some other near- by town. Living far from the beaten path, most students relish the entertainment of the big cities. Movies, teen clubs, bowling, miniature golf or even fast food restaurants are welcome pastimes of the larger cities which are enjoyed by those wishing to have a good time. I enjoy going out to eat at El Chico's and then afterward go to 'Time Out' so l can be with friends and have a good time, Senior Barbara Johnson said. Eating out is an occurrence in which everyone takes pleasure. Many students have a favorite place where they like to go to eat. l like to eat at Red Lobster because seafood is one of my favorite foods, Junior Thomas Mc- Clanahan said.

Shopping in Tyler is fun and the stores have a bigger selection from which to choose, Freshman Rosalyn Veasey said. Ever popular are the audience-thrilling and tear- jerking movies which lend a helping hand to break the monotony of an average week. Tyler has several cinemas and they have recent- ly added more. With so many theatres you can choose to see anything, Senior Jacque Roberts said. Friends are not always the companions taken on out-of-town excursions. Many times, dates are the reason why many teenagers journey to Tyler. There are numerous reasons which cause students to seek entertainment elsewhere, but friends and fun are essential elements considered important by all high school students and there is no problem too big or too small that they will not overcome to have a good time.

Guys like to dress like movie stars and singers dress because girls like to see regular guys that look like their 'teen idols,' Senior Scott Ashworth said. Along with drastic change from preppie to ultra-modern in men's fashions, women's clothing has undergone a conver- sion of the same magnitude. Replacing last year's Mexican dresses and jelly shoes are leather pants and sweaters, large, brightly col- ored pieces of jewelry, and headbands, ties, and purses can be seen in every fluorescent shade found in a neon rainbow.

Everyone, at one time or another, has a problem dealing with or accepting change. However, when the changes become a state law, they must be accepted. Some schools might have had a difficult time dealing with all these new rules, but Van schools already had a high standard of education. The rules which we had are now enforced by the State for all Texas schools. Take for example, the policy of grade notices being sent to the parents every six weeks. The Van School Administration previously had the policy of sending out failure slips every third week to inform the parent of the student's progress. Also Van High School required 22 credits for graduating. Beginning freshmen will now be ex- The new policy of tutorials is good if a student is failing and he wants the opportunity to improve his grades, Junior Tommy Chapman said. At one time, students were rewarded with ex- emptions at the end of a semester, but with the new policy, every student must take the semester exams in order for the administration to validate its existence. l think taking semester exams is good in the sense that it prepares you for future college ex- ams, but l don't think they really prove anything, Sophomore Ni'Cole Freeman said. With a dark cloud hanging overhead, the student body still found something for which to be happy. Van hosted the District LIIL Literary contest, qualified to Regionals in volleyball, and advanced to the playoffs in football. These and other events kept everyone busy, however the changes that were made lingered in all our minds.

Instead of going home after school, these teenagers head toward their part-timejobs. Working after school is common, however it is not easy. Trying to balance work and studies is difficult, not to mention strenuous, not only on the body but also on the mind. Sometimes l'll get home real late and try to do my homework but l'll fall asleep in- stead, Senior Derik Gray said. This independence builds a sense of responsibility and self-esteem. lt encourages students to strive for success, giving them a positive way to express themselves. Ml think it's good for teenagers to hold some responsibility.

Therefore, it is very important to find a job that one is good at and enjoys. Early experience in the work- ing field will better prepare students for a career. lt gives them the opportunity to find and develop their talents and skills. Coming home late every day after work may not be the smartest thing in the world to some people, but to the aspiring young enter- prisers that have the satisfaction of bringing home the bacon, even if it must be used for clothes and gas, having an after-school job is all in a day's work.

Although detention hall is an alternative to physical punishment, many students find it harsher. lt's terrible and it makes you feel de- graded. You sit in a little room doing nothing but homework while Mr. Turner watches over you. lt's like a prison, Senior Shawna Holmes said. While in detention students are allowed to study school work, but no newspapers or magazines may be read. No talking, eating, or walking around is permitted. Those serving in detention may have com- mitted such misdemeanors as chewing gum or having one too many tardies. However, the crime itself is of little importance since the punishment is very similar. lt makes me wonder if chewing gum or be- ing late is really worth all the hassle. But then again, what are the chances of anyone catch- ing you. l don't really think it will keep anyone from doing it. lt's almost like a challenge, not to get caught, Senior Kathy Roberson said. Because there is no clock present in deten- tion hall, many students become agitated. Perhaps, the worst part of being reprimanded comes after the young man arrives at home and his father just stares at him with disap- pointment, never saying a word. I haven't been in detention before, but I have been grounded. Sometimes, l feel kind of guilty because they Cparentsj expect me to do good, Freshman Robert Giles. Assistant Principal Jeff Turner feels positive about the new choice in punishment. He indicated that for those who have found themselves under his scrutiny once too often that it was not personal.

Contrary to the widely shared opinion of most people over the age of 20, young people still believe in slow dancing and even in dances from the fifties. Slow dancing is the best way to dance. Senior Kathy Roberson said. All you have to do is stand there and sway every once in a while. lt takes no great amount of talent or muscular coordination. Each year, the high school hosts about three dances. Some people come to do Student Life nothing but dance all night long, but there are also those who come solely for the entertain- ment of watching other people do what should be humanly impossible. While some people find dancing a relaxing way to pass the time, others find it causes ulcers, not only watching, but also trying to learn how. The new fad called Breakdanc- ing swept the young population all over the nation early this year. People gaped in open- mouthed amazement as those who were blessed with limp limbs and muscular coor- dination beyond human belief showed their stuff by spinning around on their heads, wav- ing their arms like a roller coaster tthis is lov- ingly called The Wave by all who have mastered the artl, and various other painful exercises in body movement. Dances, new and old, are as much a part of life as school, and as long as there are dances to be attended, students realize that they aren't just the same old grind.

Groups of up to 10 dancing wildly to rock music and couples staring deeply into each other's eyes while holding each other close were both common sights Saturday night at the Holiday Inn. Mesmerized by the dim chandelier lights, the soft music, and the many faceted swirl of colorful lace and somber tuxes with tails, every Junior and Senior experienced an even- ing of unequaled elegance. As the last song was played and the last couple went out the door to finish off the night somewhere else, he pulls the car around to the entrance, she gets in, and they drive home in comfortable silence. They pull into her driveway, he gets out, opens her door, and as they stand on her front porch, he looks into her eyes, takes her in his arms and kisses her softly - a kiss she will remember forever. He quietly says goodbye and drives off as she walks dreamily into the house and sadly puts away the dress and flowers that she will probably never wear again. All they hope for is One More Night . .

Student Life W X X i i itii , Q R N f .1 . ii I up 'F-1xE5!5,1e'Q: idding a Fond Farewell e've spent twelve years of our lives together. Years filled with memories both happy and sad. Memories of the first time we saw a certain person and knew in an instant that we'd found a life-long friend - a best friend forever. When I first moved to Van as a freshman, I thought I would never find another best friend. But after two months, Kathy Roberson and I became close friends. To think, if I hadn't had study hall, we might not have ever met, Senior Sheryl Ruescher said. Memories of that first kiss and the very special person who shared it. Memories of long winters, school days, final exams, and recollections of happy warm summers that have gradually been left far behind in the hearts of our childhood. I spent last year in West Germany as a foreign exchange student and I missed my friends terribly. I have many happy memories of my family and friends back there, but I was glad to see those familiar faces. The only pro- blem is that now we're graduating and I don't know when I'll be seeing them again, Senior Gina Morgan said. It's been such a long time. We thought it would last forever, but summer doesn't last - childhood memories can't keep us young. All of a sudden we find it's time to say goodbye. For twelve years school has been our greatest influence - our teachers and best friends. But now it's time for that to pass. Now it's time to say goodbye. They've left us a legacy, though, a part of every experience we've shared will stay with us even after graduation. But we'll be on our own next year. Our greatest hope to make our family and friends proud of the people we've become. I want so much to be able to come back some day and have everyone look at me as an adult and not a kid. But I don't think I will ever be old enough to call Mr. Golden, James, Senior Kathy Roberson said. Some of us will leave after graduation and will some day come back to visit or even to stay. There will be a few who will never see this part of their lives again, except in shadowed memories. But no matter where our someday may lead us to as we go into the world, we shall always have a special place in our heart for those happy memories - memories of twelve years that seemed to last for only one fleeting, beautiful moment.

'Well, this will be my last day as a stu- dent,' she thinks to herself. Her friends greet her with smiles and hugs as they all begin talking about the night they have before them. Everyone dons cap and gown and waits anxiously for the foyer to fill with people. As all 100 seniors line up in alphabetical order, the teary-eyed young girl reminisces of days gone by.

This recognition was based on the citizenship of the student and his scholastic achievements. Teachers decide on one particular person from their department who best represented the ideal student. The award given is the Who's Who award. Three students received Who's Who in two separate areas. Lisa Davis Lusk received history and Spanish. Patrick McFarlin earned math and science. Karen Schmidt was award- ed choir and journalism. Others receiving Who's Who awards were Monica Williams for Paper Chase.

Perhaps as the ballots were being passed out, some already had an idea of whom they wanted to represent the class of '85, However, after the ballots were counted, a leak in the office gave early warning to the winners. By the next day, everyone knew the decision of the voters. Therefore, it was no surprise when Principal Homer Terry an- nounced the winners. Elected as Most Popular were Missy Beaird and Scott Moore. Missy also received Friendliest with Mike Powell, and shared Best Looking with Scott Ashworth. Best Dressed went to Sabrina Ashworth and Alfred Crawford. Alfred also earned Wit- tiest along with Meronda Chapman. However, on the day the superlatives were named Alfred wore sweat-pants, proving his craziness. Elected as Most Talented were Kelly Dykes and Dee Mars while Most Likely to Succeed went to Lisa Davis Lusk and Patrick McFarlin. Of all the awards, these two were the highest honors. To have the respect and admiration of fellow classmates meant a lot to these students. Perhaps in later years, these students will look back to find they represented their class well. For the super seniors of '85, they were the best. Kathy Roberson lil Student Life Amy Martin Talent? When it comes to talent, Kelly Dykes and Dee Mars rack up the points.

She's been in college for a while now, and for this special night she's finally coming home. Picking up the shiny leather briefcase, the wealthy businessman strides out to his new red sports car. He's headed straight home, but not for long. Tonight he'll be returning to a part of his past he thought he'd left behind forever. He's lost in dreams of that terrific night when he made the winning touchdown . . . he's looking forward to the game. A gray-haired woman reflects on the days of cheers and pom-pons as she searches the pages of an aged album for the memories she has left behind. Giving the baby-sitter last minute instruc- tions, the middle-aged housewife starts out the door on her way to a night made of memories.

After all, that's what Homecoming is all about . . . coming home. Some memories of this special night were made this year for many students as Missy Beaird was crowned Homecoming Queen out of a court of five senior ladies including Missy, Ramona Robichaux, Cindy McLemee, Kelly Dykes, and Teresa Fowler. At first l couldn't believe what was hap- pening. Then all l wanted to do was call my mom and dad, Senior Ramona Robichaux said. Although this was their last Homecoming, these five senior girls will almost surely always remember it as their best. Someday it will be their turn to experience those heartfelt memories. lt will be their turn to come home. Karen Schmidt III Homecoming Queen!!

Whether the trips are short or long, the feelings that run through them are both exciting and frightening. Athletes do not receive just competition in participating sports, but also traveling, seeing other places and meeting new people. This is the life of an athlete. Learning more by doing more. I don't enjoy traveling on long trips because it tends to make me nervous, Junior Thomas McClanahan said. Preparing for the trip to an out of town game is where all athletes are psyched and raring to go. Everyone is gathering shoes, helmets, knee pads and uniforms, each making sure the other has all of his or her equipment. , ln getting ready for a long trip, l always remember to take plenty of food and gum to keep me busy while riding on the bus, Junior Janice Bennett said. Bus rides are when the athletes have time to unwind a bit and relax, talking and cheering most of the trip. Coming back is better with singing, Sports Divider laughing and the experience of another game behind them. Win or lose everyone participate: in this. We party!! We crank the jam and celebrate our victory, Junior Bryan Wright said. Meeting new people is a large part of ar athlete's life also. Whether they are in thei hometown or out-of-town athletes are always meeting people. Good sportsmanship is alway: used by Vandal athletes and by this, other town: have great respect for our athletes. Meeting new people at other schools is ' good way of making some long lasting friend ships, Senior Wendy Johnson says.

Determined to win, the Vandals came back to beat White Oak and then on to another victory over Wills Point. l feel it is a good rivalry between Van and Grand Saline. l believe we had a real good team this year, they just sort of slipped up on us, but those boys better watch out next year!!! Junior Reisor Pickett said. Then came a defeat with Brownsboro winning 25-24. The Van- dals played a tough game and were ahead until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. After this defeat, the Vandals came back with a six game winning streak. The Brownsboro game helped us to realize that we have to play a whole game, not just three quarters, Junior Lee Frey said. After the six game winning streak, the Vandals prepared themselves for the Gladewater Bears, but the Bears overpowered the Vandals 42-6 at Bi-district. lt feels good to carry on the '85 Football Wrap-Llp Grand Saline 1 3-24 White Oak 32-06 Wills Point 9- 0 Brownsboro 24-25 Rusk 14-12 Whitehouse 49-16 Mineola 38- 0 Canton 20- 0 Mabank 18- 6 Lindale 14-13 Gladewater 6-42 V. ,Steve,English, Daren Turner, Reisor Pickett, Palfkk MCFGTHU, l-ee There's No Stopping Us! ls the thought of the football team as they race through the traditional Vandal banner. t Vandal tradition by reaching tt playoffs, but l feel we could hai gone farther, Junior Sam Bass sai Vandal football captains for 84- were Seniors Dewayne Davids 1505, Patrick McFarlin 1805, Sco Moore 1105, Perry Neill 1705 ar Junior Kim Moore 1335. l feel privileged to be captain fc the football team, especially sinc the Vandal football team is one of tl' best, Senior Dewayne Davidso said.

As they ran back and forth, play after play, Coach Jimmy Parish encouraged and scolded them, refusing to let them give up trying. Hustle, hustle, they were told. Snap that ball out. Get in there for that rebound. Getting in there to get that re- bound was no easy task. An elbow in the ribs or along side of the face hap- pened quite often. The referee, or i'ref as he was affectionately called, did not always see these flagrant fouls and a crowd that sees it always lets him know. Away games often caused the team to arrive home late and homework kept players up to all hours and was simply not done till the sun popped up in the east. With the new co-curricular rules, basket- ball players found new reasons to get that work done. ln the third game of the season against Alba-Golden, Van won by the largest margin of 36 points. From there they won four games in a row, lost one, and then won two more. After that, losses outnumbered wins. All in all, l498 points were scored by the varsity team this season.

However, the eighth grade ended the season 5-9 and the seventh with 4-10. Coach Pennington's JV team had several members who excelled in of- fensive scoring.

Averag- .ing 7.9 was Don Smith who scored a total of 175. Although no one scored as highly as the JV, the freshman team had its outstanding players. Clint McCaffree scored a total of 185 points. Scoring 105 was Joel Featherston while Brad Vanderbilt scored 98. All totalled the freshmen scored 656 points. Even though the eighth graders did not win as often as they would have liked, they gained an enormous amount of knowledge to help them in the years to come.

Huddle meetings, Game Day Witness, the Annual Hayride, and home meetings provide fellowship for the members of the FCA. Home meetings play a special part in the activities of the FCA. They lend a warm and per- sonal atmosphere to this Christian family. ln FCA, you feel as though you are family!

The Chapter Conduc- ting team won first place in District and Area, then they advanced to State in which they won seventh place. The team consisted of Scott Ashworth, Randy Goode, Wendy Johnson, Kim Allen, Kim Willingham, Missy Carter, and David Wayne Gibbs. FFA offers each member an equal chance to excel in contest and gain useful infor- mation, Senior Scott Ashworth said. The FHA members con- tributed their time in com- munity work. On Halloween, they visited the nursing homes in Van. They made cupcakes and took them to the elderly. The people in the nursing homes need someone to pay special attention to them. This is one way we can make their lives a little less lonely, Senior Susan Preston said. As some of FFA's ac- tivities, they had their annual banquet, fish fry, and Farmer Brown Day. They sold sausage and hams as their fund raising project. The Future Farmers America Organization is oi of the most important voc tional subjects. lt give students necessary skills th, enable them to face life challenges, Senior Lis Davis Lusk said. The FHA sold Christmas c naments for their fund rais- and they sold colorful sucke to help the March of Dimes. FHA helps others live be ter lives, Junior Darren M Cawley said. Fund raising plays an in portant role in these organiz, tions while the leadershi skills and community wor produce better citizens c these participants.

I enjoy seeing my team win, then going out on the field to congratulate them, Sophomore Carissa Ken- nedy said. l also liked meeting new people at camp. The cheerleaders travel to all varsity games in athletics and cheer them on to victory. l enjoy going out of town and eating with the team after the game, especially when we win, Senior head cheerleader Missy Beaird said.

We always had a blast! During the summer the line had 'summer camp' which was instructed by Susie Crim. Every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. the twirlers learned the five routines that they performed throughout the year. The whole summer was a lot of hard work, said Sophomore Heidi Tunnell. We all had a lot to learn, and we had to learn it in rhythm with each other. But even with all the work, it was fun! Despite all the glamour and fun of being a member of the line, there were plenty of the line, there were plenty mishaps.

Finally the moment arrives and he is elected class president. After the feeling passes, his mind wonders, Now what? He draws a blank as to what his duties as class president are. The job is, generally, to set a good example for other students, organize activities throughout the year, carry out the ideas of the sponsors, and conduct class meetings. He begins to wonder, however, how many of these duties he will actually be ex- pected to carry out. For the most part, in the past, everything was always taken care of by class sponsors. Class officers are suppos ed to be elected on the basis of good leadership qualities. But many times, like most class elections the people are elected on popularity alone. They seldom really have any oppor- tunity to demonstrate their leadership qualities. Class officers have no ma- jor responsibilities. We are sup- posed to set good examples for the rest of our class, listen to the ideas of the students, and present them to higher author- ity, Sophomore secretaryf treasurer Ni'Cole Freeman said. Class officers being elected on the basis of popularity will never change. It will always be a face without a name, a job without a duty. Tina Chambers Cl Organizations Look it! Most officers are chosen because they are well recognized among the student body. Because Senior Alfred Crawford is known as a talented football player, he has received the respect of his peers, which con- tributed to his election of Senior class treasurer.

Many attempts are made to an- what the student body will think of them. Likewise, newcomers are usually somewhat anx- ious to find out what kind of friends they will make. I really haven't gotten to know the kids here real good, but some of them remind me of my friends in Garland, Seventh Grader Jamie Knight said. To others, choosing friends is not too much of a problem. Other concerns which occupy their minds are if they are dressed properly, even moreso, they wonder if they will be accepted for who they are! When I first came to Van, I felt like I was some alien from outer-space. It seemed as though everyone was always looking at me whenever I walked into a room, Senior Raedene Cordova said. lt's kind of funny now, but l'll never forget that awkward feeling of having everyone's heads simultaneously turn my direction. So far I like Van! lt's really exciting going to a new school, Jamie said. Many transfer students came from larger towns and cities. They usually had their preconceived ticipate I People Divider ideas about small towns. When I moved from Dallas, I thought tha everyone in this small 'hick' town wore cowbcj boots, cowboy hats, rode horses, and did all tho other things cowboys do, Junior Penny Irwin said. The Van Independent School district consists 1 188 square miles. These students may travel a ma imum of 30 miles one-way from the surroundir farm communities. Still others who live outside tl' district pay a minimum fee of S200 tuition per year. I had the choice of three different schools. Two which I wouldn't have to pay any tuition, but I chog the one I thought was the best, Senior Sherj Ruescher said. The facilities, faculty, and education is high ranked in the State of Texas. Many parents have 21 tended Van at one time in their lives, and have r mained in the area to provide their children with tl' same opportunities they received while they were i school. Although it may seem as though the end of tl' road has almost been reached, students find thg their time here will aid in the fulfillment of th destiny. Raedene Cordova Il Welcome stranger! MI like this school. Everyone seems to be pretty friendly. A lot of people just walked up to me and introduced themselves, Junior Ray Kiker said. i f -f. ,,- fr 5- 129 ' ' Cries of confusion heard D Cadlllle tlme: as seniors tackle term papers irst, total panic sets in.

These cries of utter confusion can be heard reverberating throughout the library for about four weeks each year as English IV students prepare that all-important document, the research paper. After the initial shock is over and every senior's heart slows to a normal beat the hunt begins! C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and Charles Dickens are only a few of the famous authors whose works and lives are delved into by fact-hungry researchers hoping to make a good 1great?J grade on their assignment.

When I go into class and goof off all period, I find I have five minutes left in the period with the deadline only a few days away, Senior Monica Williams said. You have to be disciplined or it will give you a headache. Finally, after a long night of writing, typing, correcting, writing, and typing some more, a wild-eyed, disheveled stu- dent stumbles almost deliriously into English class plunks the finished product on the teacher's desk, and breathes a sigh of relief that can be heard throughout the school building.

K Donna Nauert Basketball Seniors' activities expensive, price of fun costly to all et: A small, petite, pretty, young girl bounces happily into the clothing store holding up the best in designer's fashions. After a very long day of 'oohs' and 'ahhs' and fin- ding nothing 'out'of-this- world', they begin their journey back to the car un- til Mother, look! Oh, it's perfect, it's wonderful, it's gorgeous. Look at these colors! l want it, please, oh Mom, it's me!! With hands shaking, the now sweating mother grabs for the price tag. She picks it up, looks, gasps! Many people did a lot of smart shopping by making their clothes mix and match, by saving every penny, young students restrain from delving into their own purses and wallets, or perhaps Mom's charge card. Over the 1984-85 years, prices had gone up and down. To go to the movies scis J. 'A 1' f A 1 would cost 54.50. A gallon of gas cost Sl.12 for unleaded and 51.04 for regular. For midnight snacking, a 16 pizza cost 510.50 and a Big Mac, 51.49. A can of Coke was priced at 5.40. For your jam sessions an album cost S7 to S9, whereas a good laugh from Eddie Murphy cost 58.99. For your personal fit, 501 Button-Fly Levi jeans cost 529.99 or for the right fit, Wranglers cost S28, No matter what the cost, students always seemed to get what they wanted, even if they had to beg, borrow, or steal from their younger brother or sister, friend, cousin , . .

Mrs. Driver's group toured the jail before heading to court. While at the jail the students were able to talk to the guards and some got scared straight courtesy of a few inmates. Part three of the trip consisted of touring Trane Laboratories. Students could see the factory, the computer ter- minals, or the research department. The tours were very interesting and infor- mative, Senior Dee Mars said, I'm glad we were able to go.

The most common ex- cuses is that they left it at home, it's in their locker, or better yet it's in someone eIse's locker.

As she attempts to ,find a seat on the seemingly over-crowded bus, she spies a place with only one, small boyz. Perfect, she thinks. 'After situatingl her books Candy the little boyl into the seat, she drifts off into a peaceful retreat. This quiet soli- tude does not last for long however. The sounds of children echoed in her head. Finally, it was time to depart from this Chamber of Horrors. Drudgingly she carries her books into her room and flings them on her bed. Slowly, she walks toward the kitchen. Opening the refrigerator, she searches for a snack to satisfy her unrelin- quished hunger from lunch. Settling on a squashed twinkie and a diet Coke, she reenters her room. Picking up a pen, some paper, and her textbook, she heads to the living room. Flopping down on the couch, she turns on the television. y ln between commer- cials she works diligently to finish all her work.,The smell of steak sizzling floats from the kitchen to the living room, making it hard tor concentrate on the task at hand. Soon her mom is calling everyone to supper, to the 'relief of a growling stomach. During the Fall Guy, she decides to take a quick shower. Although sheis determined to get her work done after this job, the warm, soothing water penetrates through her tired flesh, creating a tingling sensation which 'cries out Sleepl Sleep! She reluctantly returns to work. Somewhere be- tween Dynasty and St. Elsewhere, she falls sound asleep. The last thing she remembers is the sound of her mom softly saying good-night.

Reaching over to turn the buzzing device off ' you realize today is your first day of high school. I was a little bit nervous the first day of school, but I got over it as I met some of my friends, Freshman Kit- tie Young said. With schedule in hand you push through the mobs of people looking for your class. Then, as you spot the class and make a mad dash you hear the tardy bell ring. You think to yourself - WilI this day ever end? I couldn't find my classes the first day of school and I had to have my sister help me. Freshman Sheri Holmes. Freshmen go through name-calling and ridicule to finally reach the respect they desire from the upperclassmen. The upperclassmen treat you like little kids at first, but after awhile they treat you okay, Freshman Johnny Bevins said. I get tired of up- perclassmen always putting me down, Freshman Shawn Cook said. However, most up- perclassmen feel it their privilege to harrass and chide freshmen.

Will Eryka marry Mike? -- These are questions only soap opera fans can answer. Most students do not have time to watch soap operas, but when school is out for the holidays, many students are dedicated to them. My favorite star is Jack Wagoner, who plays Frisco on 'General Hospital', Eighth grader Becky Goode said. But my favorite up and soap opera is 'All My Children'. All soap fans look forward to holidays and inservice days with wild anticipation because they will catch up on the latest events. Still others have solved the prob- lem of missing soaps while at school by getting a VCR and recording their favorite shows. They hurriedly rush home to push the buttons to see if Luke and Scorpio found the Mexican artifact or to see if Roman Brady is really dead. Terri Tillison D These are the A Days of Our Lives.

Amy Martin rying to avoid boring and uneventful days, seventh graders are forced to turn to playing practical jokes to liven up the school. Some of these are simple, spur of the moment pranks - things that could happen at any moment, any day, any time. Me and my friends put a bullfrog in a girl's locker at Tyler. She told on us after she got through hitting us with her purse, Seventh grader Keith Preston said. But, if you are not brave enough to touch a bullfrog, you can turn to simpler jokes. Me and Adrian Smith erased a word on the board and changed it, Keith Nations said. But students are not the only ones hit by these prankstersg teachers are the main target, if they can get away with it. Funny people!! Practical joke players are to be found throughout the seventh grade. Such pranksters Set-up everything from giving bad gum to locking teachers out, We locked a teacher out of the room. She stood there and like a fool, tried to open the door. I went to the door and told her l couldn't get the door unlocked. Then she got mad so l unlocked it, Scott Moseley said. But, since teachers have a much higher punishment for these little escapades, the practical jokers usually save the good stuff for their fellow classmates. Once when l asked the teacher if l could get a drink of water, she said l could. After l drank some water, l held some water in my mouth and opened somebody's locker, which was rigged so you do not have to do your combination, and spit water in all over their books and sides of their locker, Adrian said. While these are comparably dif- ferent, it goes to show that the seventh graders have quite an im- agination and seem to be awaiting some poor soul who just happens to fall for pranks and jokes, So, a fair warning has been given to those who dare to cross a prank- ster in the seventh grade.

Due to crowded conditions in the elementary and kindergarten buildings, the sixth graders were pushed out of their building behind the auditorium to make room for the fifth grade. Now the sixth graders oc- cupy the converted storage rooms in the gym building. Many of the sixth graders do not mind the change. ln fact, it is more convenient for some. Being in the gym doesn't bother me 'cause l like being close to my P.E. class and the band hall, Sixth grader Jody Bolin said. lt doesn't matter to me as long as everyone knows l'm in junior high, Sixth grader Joey Nichols said. For the teachers, it was a difficult move, but also a relief to have some extra space. Trying to move my collection of papers, books, and posters wasn't easy, but after l got settled into my Andra Akin Brian Ashby Roger Barker Danhia Bell A Mary Ann Black Jason Blackmon Jeff Blackmon Jody Bolin Elyse Bourland Shanda Boyd Jamie Brewster DaRynda Brown .fs new room, l realized it was worth it, Sixth grade teacher Glenda Darragh said. The teachers seem to like being in the gym as well as the students, Principal Mike Hill said. Although this new found freedom is quite enjoyable, Mr. Hill agrees that the arrangement has its minor irritations. lt's good for us to be growing, but it is a little noisy at times, with band hall and shop classes nearby, Mr. Hill said. lt will be a while before everything is running smoothly, but we're trying. Even with the musty scent of old textbooks and with the noise from the shop and band hall, classes did go on as usual in the new environment. Terri Tillison Kathy Roberson El Moving OH UP.

Drill sergeants? Dictators? No, it'sjustMOM.f f 1 Y Kids and moms have been fighting for yearsg it comes natural to most families. What would life be like without extreme parental guidance? After all, a little yelling during dinner buildscharacter. S lt is a universal truth that parents and children will disagree. Whether the subject is what a child did or did not do, these disagreements will oc- cur. Generally, it is the parent who savors the victory, and the end result will usually affect the child's social life. Someone who has witnessed the wrath of his mother can tell anyone how much it pays off to get along withal her. But, no matter how hard one tries, he will never reach the full potential mom counted on. So go ahead and gripe and complain about the tyrant who goes by the name of MOM. Just remember that everyone has one, and theyall seem to follow the same union code: Mother is always right.

Then the fun began. Besides learning how to put their horns together and read music, they learned how to par- ticipate in a group and how to work together. Band is great. l like the competition we have in playoffs and Mr. Grif- fin's corney jokes, said Laura Walker. I like band. l was scared at first because l didn't know the notes, but l quickly learned, said Mandy Slayton. Being in fifth grade band opens up many new doors of adventure.

As a result of this commodation, the fifth ade class was moved 'om the elementary uilding to the junior high uilding. For many fifth 'faders this change was -xciting but strange. Enrollment sends fifth grade to jr. high lt's a weird change, but it's neat being the first fifth grade class to be in the junior high building. lt's ay lot quieter there and l like that, said Michelle Williams. W Even though the fifth grade was in they junior high building, they were still elementary students. This change gave these students more individuali- ty. lt's fun because the fifth grade is by themselves and there is no principal around, said Melton Rice. T Even though this change was made out of necessity, it' has been very beneficial. This has helped the fifth grade gain responsibility and realize the changes which will soon be taking place . . .

Although rnost people believe the school board has unlimited power, it does not. For example, the school board manages the school District, makes school rules, levies and col- lects taxes and issues bonds, prepares an annual budget and reports last 'year's budget, ai orders, holds, declares,and swears elections., lt also can require Proper by rent or lease, declare eminent c main, employ. personnel, close t school if necessary, and sue or sued.

He died. Fighting back the tears, the retired teacher goes on describing the joys and frustrations of her memorable class. For a few members of the faculty, a similar situation may occur. After twenty plus years of service to the Van ISD, Secretaries Jean Dove and LaJuan Moseley, speech teacher James Golden, Coach Mal Fowler, Counselor Bill Giles, Principal Mike Hill, industrial arts teacher Roy Evans, and elementary teachers Euline Sherbert and Sue Evans have fond memories of the many children they have known.

Both faculty and administration have found that their paperwork doubled during the '84-85 school year. New requirements for atten' dance, eligibility and grade records kept Mrs. Jean Dove, administrative assistant to the principal, quite busy. The Essential elements found teachers revamping their lesson plans. State funded programs such as Home Economics and Vocational Agriculture had a major increase in paperwork, numerous eligibility forms, progress reports and failure notices to send out. We are all creatures of habit and this is merely an adjustment which has to be made, High School Prin- cipal Homer Terry said. With time this will become routine. The '84-'85 school year will be remembered as the year the reforms became a reality and the paperwork was piled on.

He was on bus duty when a little boy complained about a kindergarten child hitting him. After some persuasion, the accused child finally emerged. Out of the bus swaggered a miniature John Wayne. Mr. Darragh asked him if he hit the other child. He replied, Yeah, Turkey! Watcha gonna do about it? Stunned, Mr. Darragh told the little boy to get back on the bus and not to hit anyone again. The moral of this story: Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Binky Benoit U Now listen here! Elementary Prin- cipal Mr. Ed Darragh takes some valuable time out of his after school duty to help a young student appreciate the art of practicing bus-duty etiquette. Faculty Index 1 Anders.

Stunned by the unex- pected decor, he slowly begins from the left moving toward the right so as not to miss any of the outstanding design. He is first met by the former Ranger Bucky Dent, displaying his unmistakable physique. Then is the first of many indiana Jones posters having that irresistible smirk of Harrison Ford's. Of course, there's that Funny- Haired fiend Kevin Bacon, still the victim of the Spidey War. Quickly, his eyes dart back to the seemingly plain Gumby and Pokey poster. That's Ed Grimely, I must say! Suddenly, a warm feel- ing flows through him. To think these journalists are actually into Saturday Night Live. lt's unbelievable! Surprised that anyone besides himself saw i'The Outsiders, he glances over the gang - Two Bit, Soda- pop, Ponyboy, Dallas, Johnny, Darrell, and Steve. Moving along, the on-looker is greeted by H-uey Lewis and the News. As the observer leaves, he is awed by the creative abili- ty of these students. He also envies the family togetherness they share. They have converted a dull, unimpressive room into their second home.

In fact, many make it a goal to leave. Often teachers and parents hear, As soon as graduation is over, l'm getting out of this rinky-dink town. As callous as it sounds, many do feel exactly like that. However, some return years later with plans of raising a family. They realize the advantages of living in the coun- try - peacefulness, fresh air, and beautiful scenery. 'tThe day after my graduation, I headed out for Califor- nia to join the Marines. I was going to see the world, Speech teacher, James Golden said. Instead I saw Korea, through a foxhole and decided home was for me. Unfortunately, as their children grow, they will perceive the peacefulness as boredom and beautiful scenery as the night lights of Dallas. And the desire to stay in Van will dwindle until graduation is upon them. They, too, may leave Van far behind. But there will be those who will return to this far away, little town to con- tinue their lives as Vandals. Kathy Roberson U Sole Sl.ll'VlV0l'. Junior Christie Viken is the last to leave the hall.
