Q-Advertisers 102 158 Here we are, Waco High . . . 750 bodies strong, made up of a variety of people, activities, and interests. On any given day at W.H.S. people, whether black, white or Mexican-American can be seen wearing anything from jeans to dresses or from overalls to leisure suits. Sometimes the school unites. Other times all of the variety clashes. But mostly, each person goes about his own business, attending class, participating in sports, working after school, going to Young Life on Mondays, going to Rocky's on Friday and Saturday nights or doing whatever he pleases. 1978 was the second year that the once largest school in the Waco area was the smallest. Instead of going along with many people's expectations and becoming less competitive, Waco High became more. 1978, a year of variety a. W.H.S. topped Richfield in several ways this year, football, baseball, and Young Life bathtub stuffing. Ninety people piled into a bathtub to break Flichfield's record of 84. b. Hornet hunter Scott Wiley and Tiger Carol Gifford search for a Gatesville hornet at a pep rally. c. School isn't all fung one has to study once in awhile.

For the second year in a row, the Tiger football team made a good showing, ending the season with a 7-3 record. Highlighting the season was a 20-19 victory over Richfield and a 20-6 t'revenge victory over Midway. The Tigers also excelled in basketball. Many found out for the first-time that football is not the only exciting sport. The Tigers won the district 11-AAA championship, losing only one district game, to Midway. With the Round Flock Dragons as opponents, Tiger fans headed for Georgetown to see what many termed as the most exciting game they'd ever seen.

With district and bi-district behind them, the Tigers set their sights on the important regional game in Bryan. Huntsville handed them their first post-season loss, thus ending a successful season. To many, sports was an impor- tant part of the year, but it wasn't the whole year. ln literary competi- tion, junior Becky Breedlove qualified for the State Tournament of Texas Forensic Association in oratory and extempt. She advanced to the semi-finals in oratory, making her among the top orators in the State. Scott Wiley won S1100 in scholarship money in the Voice of Democracy oratory contest. The contest is sponsored by the Veter- ans of Foreign Wars and Scott finished second in the state contest. Q a. Aerial view of Waco High taken by yearbook photographer, Scot Elsik. b.

Allen Laday shoots for two points against the Midway Panthers. 03 Snow effects school The unusual winter weather was also an important part of the year. Snow and ice, not usually a big part of winter in Waco, was more plentiful this year than in the past. lt snowed several times, but only four or five times was there a measure- able amount. Classes were can- celled twice because ofthe weather. Many people wonder why the WHS yearbook is called the Daisy Chain. Most think the name is strange, but they are unaware of its origin. Traditionally on Senior Recognition day, the graduating class passed a chain made of daisies to the junior class. In 1920, WHS began publishing a monthly magazine called the Daisy Chain. The magazine was later changed to a weekly newspaper. Because of confusion between names of the paper and the yearbook, a contest was held to choose a new name for the new- spaper. The name Huacoan was chosen. In 1941, Huacoan was changed to Wacoan. During this time the yearbook was known as the Daisy Chain. The yearbook and newspaper are still known by these names. ,F f 1 3 ' 1 1' 'T . if int.: W ',9v- mf, ctivities X Ji f W 'Karla 'Wbodard 'Editor Qt 'Html Homecoming is one of the few traditions remaining from old Waco High days. This year's excitement began with the bonfire on Wednesday night, October 19. Thursday, nominees for queen were presented and elected, then Friday morning, Girls Service League passes out mums. Throughout the day, due to anticipation of the upcoming game, both tension and excitement could be sensed in the halls and classrooms. An event most students looked forward to was the break in the daily classroom routine. This came later in the afternoon when the exes were honored with a reception and the pep rally began promptly at 2:30. There were tears as many realized this would be their last homecoming at WHS. This year's seniors and last year's graduating class had a real competition yell at the pep rally. There was a toss-up as to who the winner was. omj ng ' , ,. 3. ,V 1 F Hx- QYN- -F is g x Nfl' 'iff ' if , 't' . a. WHS students show their Tiger spirit aroung the bonfire on Wednesday night. b.

As they became the middle classmen, the class of 79 carried on during their second year at Waco High. Although they were not the upper class at school, they certainly weren't the lower class and showed their worth as they became entan- gled in the happenings at WHS. January 25 was the date set aside for juniors to attend the third annual Career Fair. They also participated in Homecoming 77 and showed class pride as they cheered at pep rallies.

Student Council starts new era with The Student Council has made quite a few changes this year. One change is a new leader, Mrs. Neilla Longino. She has made the Student Council's year a success. Every Wednesday at homeroom the commissioners and representatives met. They discussed money-raising events and made many plans. The S.C. sponsored the homecoming dance, exes tea, and election of homecoming queen and princess. Later in the year they had a magic show, Bebop Dance, and Corrigan Dance. The S.C. also sold balloons at football games, participated in the March of Dimes Walk-a-thon, and held a Christmas food drive. The S.C. stayed after school to decorate for homecoming, Christ- mas, and Corrigan. The commissioners for the 1977-78 school year were Alecia Anderson, Paula Aston, Randy Breedlove, Becca Keyes, and Scott Wiley. Both Becca and Scott served as mayor. Mrs. Longino said, l've been extremely pleased with the leader- ship in S.C. this year, and l feel sure that next year will be even more successful. I am especially grateful for our commissioners who have been outstanding. I Hx Q3 active members and interest high ,r ,ty I, f , 5, ff 5 .-t- g' west , - I t-e' .

The first match of Challenge '78 was against Corsicana High School and WHS won by a score of 360-1103 the second match was against Riecher and WHS won by a score of 90-50. f---4..- Mr. Cooper attempts to develop within these students a sense of competitiveness and the ideal that they are winners regard- less who their foe may be. These students are dedicated hard workers continuously competing with all members of the team. Before and after each match the students compete in question sessions during homeroom periods acquiring a cumulative record which is tallied a day prior to taping to determine what members will appear for open competition. Through this method of questioning a high level of critical thinking by the competiting students is developed. Mr. Cooper discovered that students who respond to certain types of thinking questions will retain as much information and possibly more than students who respond only to memory questions. .......- Wacoan staff strives for excellence The Wacoan staff published six newspapers this year. Many hours of work went into each issue, writing stories, selling ads, typing stories, and designing layouts.

Their skits were performed with enthusiasm and the response they received showed how much the student body appreciated them.

On the average, air conditioning accounts for about half of summertime electric bills. Here are ways you can hold down the cost of air conditioning and still enjoy its comfort. Central Systems 1. Set thermostat on 780, or higher, during the summer. Turn unit off if you'll be away from home several days. 2. Keep equipment at top operating efficiency. Have it checked seasonally by qualified serviceman. 3. Check filter every 30 days. Dirty filters cause equipment to use excessive electricity. If filter is permanent, clean by manufacturers directionsg if it's disposable, it should be replaced when dirty. 4. Keep furniture, draperies away from air outlets and returns. Clean grills often. 5. Close draperies and blinds to keep out direct sunlight. 6. Keep fireplace damper closed. 7. Proper home insulation keeps the heat out, cuts energy use. Insulation questions Call TP8tL. 8. Shade on roof and walls can reduce energy needed to cool. But trim trees, shrubs away from outside compressor unit. Keep it free of leaves, debris. If air flow is blocked, unit uses more energy. 7 9. Weatherstrip doors and windows, caulk cracks to prevent drafts and cool air loss. 10. Keep windows closed. Open outside doors as little as possible. Window Units Follow above suggestions, plus these: 11. Buy units with highest 'lenergy efficiency ratio lEEFil. Uses less electricity to cool. If EER is not on sales tag, ask for it or figure it yourself. Divide wattage into t'BTU capacity. Both figures are on unit. 12. Place unitwhere it'll get as little direct sun as possible. 13. Aim air outlets at lower half of doorway to next room to allow warm air from that room to enter at the doortop for recooling, recirculation. 14. Never vent air conditioner into garage. Ventilation is usually too poor fortop performance of your unit. Conserve electricity and you help conserve one or more of the fuels needed to produce it. Conserve fuels and you help assure that there will be enough to meet essential needs for electricity in the future. When you pass a TP8tl. office, warehouse, generating plant or other facility, you'll see that we've turned off all non-essential lighting. And, in as many other ways as possible, TP8tL is reducing its own uses of electricity. lfyou would like additional information on conserving electricity, call the Customer Service Representative in the TP8tL Office.
