This is our school. We’re Proud of it; We’re Part of it. We’re Proud Of . we took part in the pep rallies 99 Welcome to Westlake, Louisiana, a town where the people have grown together to be proud of and part of a community they call their own. Governed by Mayor Dudley Dixon, Westlake is a setting for businesses, homes, schools, churches, good and bad times, and a place where memories are made. At 1000 Garden Drive, one can find not only Westlake High School, but a home-away-from-home where many of these memories are made. Ten years from now, these memories will bring back the time we were so proud of our school as well as a part of it. Nothing but pride beamed from our faces as we took part in the pep rallies as the beautiful sound of the Alma Mater rang out while orange and black streamers floated above the 673 hands that proudly showed we were number one. Many took part in the tears that were shed in joy and sorrow at Friday night football games. We’re Proud of our town. We’re Proud of our student body. We’re Proud of our staff. 2 Opening Our School We’re Proud of our school. We’re Proud of the Westlake Rams. We’re Proud of our teachers. We’re Proud of everyone with school spirit. Opening 3 We’re Part Of ... “ ... we became proud of ... a very special place.” We also were part of the nervous stomachs that tensed when the office worker read the list of in-school suspension victims over the speaker. Immediately following that was either a sigh of relief or panic as one walked hesitantly down to assistant principal Mr. Gary Anderson’s office. Also, almost everyone was a victim of those heavy eyelids that were so hard to keep open during first hour. Many of us took part in the crazy and fun times when a friend was thrown into the locker room showers as a birthday present. Westlake students took part in gossip exchanged between classes, during classes (usually on scraps of paper). after school, on the phone, at Hardee’s, at the gameroom. and any other place friends usually met. Everyone felt the urge to look at a neighbor’s paper when the test was simply forgotten about the night before. We also felt ankles wet from dew on the grass at early morning practices. Mosquitoes always clung to these same wet ankles while the captain said. “You are at attention! Don’t you dare move!” The pain, sorrow, joy, laughter, accomplishments, and tears will linger in our minds as we remember the best years of our lives, years when we became proud of and part of a very special place. These memories will stay with us until we are but a memory ourselves. The ramettes are a Part of our The teachers are a Part of our school. school. The cafeteria workers are a Part of our school. 4 Opening . Our School The girls and boys basketball players are a Part of our school. The football players are a Part of our school. The cheerleaders are a Part of our school. The Ram band is a Part of our school. Opening 5 The 1983 Ram-ler is dedicated to Mrs. Mickey Stoker, art teacher, who is an inspiration to her students, a friend to her fellow faculty members, and a teacher par excellence. Mary Frances “Mickey” Stoker is a 1966 graduate of the University of Southwestern Louisiana. She earned a Master of Education degree from McNeese State University in 1978. She is married to Blair Stoker and they are the parents of four children. Perhaps the most valid judgment of a teacher is to be found in the words of her own students: “I feel that Mrs. Stoker is about the best teacher a person could have who wanted to learn how to draw or paint. She is also a really sweet person and her class is never a bore,” Janet Abel, junior. “Mrs. Stoker is a very likable teacher. Along with that, her personality brings all the good out of everyone she teaches. She is the kind of person that you would want as a teacher, but she is also a friend. I would like to thank her for all her support,” Jennifer Charles, senior. “Its hard to describe Mrs. Stoker as an art teacher because she is so much more than that. She’s an artist, a great teacher, a counselor, and a friend all rolled up into one,” Shari Fontenot, senior. Mrs. Stoker gives helpful points to Melissa Harrell. “Mrs. Stoker is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. She knows how to relate to her students. In return the students can relate to her. She has the ability to know what kind of work you are capable of and how to make the best of it. I have really enjoyed having her for four years of art,” Melissa Harrell, senior. “Mrs. Stoker is to me the best teacher a student can have. She knows how to motivate students to get the best work out of them. Her classes never have a dull moment,” Melinda Harrell, senior. 6 Dedication In Memory Of Terry White 7 Westlake High It’s Your School Be proud of it Be part of it mJl jjO 8 Student Life of Student Life of Student Life Student Life 9 Preschool Activities Signal A New Year The Ramettes work up a sweat at summer practice. As summer came to a close and a new year drew near, many activities took place. The band, and Ramettes began summer practice two weeks before school. Long hours of hard work were spent under the scorching sun learning shows for football season. While the Ramettes and band were preparing for football season performances, the mighty Ram football players were practicing for their own type of performance. Although most preschool activities were practices, some were fun and recreational. Every Wednesday night, all students enjoyed the music and dancing at the summer dances. The hot summer made almost everyone sweat, whether it was from practice and drills, or jumping around to “We Got the Beat.” Both signaled that a new school year was on its way. Cheerleaders start working early before football season begins. 10 Student Life Mr. Harrell instructs band members during the morning hours of summer practice. The “Halloween Machine practices long, hard hours during preschool practice. Boys And Girls State The Westlake American Legion and Rotary Club sponsors every year four 11th grade students to participate in the Boys and Girls State program. The program is held in Baton Rouge on the L.S.U. campus during the summer. This year’s participants were Jennifer Charles, who said. “In spite of all the hard work, I had a really nice time.” Katherine Landry said, “Girls State to me was one of the best experiences that I have come across in my high school years.” Marty Morrison and Chet Smith attended Boys State. Both boys said that during the week they were taught the system of our government by actually electing government officials. 12 Student Life Westlake High SAPE Mrs. Jones is explaining how the SAPE program works to these students. These students are talking to the school nurse about her involvement in the program. Substance Abuse Prevention Education (SAPfi) is a prevention-intervention program provided by the Louisiana State Department ot Education that encourages and assists all students in living drug-free lives. Westlake High SAPE aims to conduct parental awareness programs, to organize support groups for students, to recommend to students an alternative to chemical highs, and to provide assistance throughout the school for fighting a war against drug use by young people. Tne title for the Westlake High group is “We Care Support Team”; our motto is: “Be all that you can be; live your life chemical free”. The SAPfi team consists of administrators, parents, a counselor, and a school nurse. The team meets once a week on Wednesday mornings at 7:30 a.m. We have three different student groups set up at Westlake High. First, tne aftercare group-the goal of this group is to stay straight. Second, the concerned person group-the goal of this group is to support the person who is struggling witn a chemically dependent friend or relative. The third group is the SAPEE group-the goal of this group is to educate, understand and evaluate. The members are Billy Callens, Gary Anderson, Mary Jones, Marjorie Myers, Dorinda Sowell, Adrianna Horton, Frank Harrell, Jan Picard, Lolitha Seger, and H. Robinson. Student leaders are: Bart Gillard, Mike Fontonot (chairman), Sarah Swain, and Cindy McPayne. Mrs. Myers, the sponsor for the student SAPE team, is explaining to the students their job in making the program work. Student Life 13 A Celebration That Lasts Through Out The Week Homecoming week began Monday, September 27, as everything from sombreros to Mickey Mouse hats were worn for hat day. The special days that followed were western day, 50’s day, orange and black day, and dressup day. Thursday afternoon Westlake students along with the town residents gathered along the streets as the homecoming parade was enjoyed by young and old. The parade began at S.P. Arnett Junior and ended at the high school followed a pep rally. The homecoming court was presented at an assembly and Debbie McGee was crowned queen during half-time of the football game Friday night, October 1. The rams were defeated by the Rayne Wolves, but spirits weren’t dampened for long as the homecoming dance offered a good time for everyone. The nonstop week was a week of celebration.

Student Life 19 “Soap” mania strikes Westlake High Eyes glued to the television set during the noon hours is a symptom of a common malady occurring today. “Days of Our Lives,” “Another World,” “The Young and the Restless” and “Tex- Shari Fontenot “ .. Marlena Evans envy ...” as” are common causes of this semi-state of hypnosises. The “soaps” have hit the nation. Men, women, and children of all ages are hooked. Gone is the idea of housewives who sat lonely in front There is so much to of the television, watching those dreadful soap operas. Now people everywhere are wondering if Mickey will ever escape Stefano’s deadly graps; Will Ceceil succeed in taking Sandy away from Blane? Is Niki’s baby Victor’s or Kevin’s? “In the summertime I had to get up an hour earlier than usual since “Texas’ was moved to the mornings. And sometimes I didn’t get up in time,” commented Melinda Harrell, “l used to watch several soap operas. Now the only one I watch is “Days of Our Lives.” If it wasn’t for Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), I probably wouldn’t watch it at all. There is so much to envy about her, especially Roman Brady!” said Shari Fontenot. Men say that they watch the soaps because that is all that is on in the afternoon but one doubts that after hearing their comments. Special magazines are written with the latest scoop, and a local radio station has a “soap review” for people who can not make it home to watch their favorite show. The soaps have even invaded the academic world. Students discuss the latest events in homeroom, while college students schedule classes around their favorite show. From the early days of radio to today’s fascination with the problems of the television soap kingdom, life will never be the same. Tune in tomorrow, or next week, or next year. LaDonna Hedge and Monica Pousson keep up with what is going on in their favorite soap opera by reading Soap Opera Magazines. Cherl Soileau. Mrs. Mickey Stoker. Kelly Lovett. Vonda Conners, and Vynessie Hill find time to watch “Another World.” 20 Student Life Student States, “It’s All How You Look At It.” “Nobody move! My contact just popped out!” These comments, made always in a loud voice, are just one of the disadvantages of contacts. But more and more students are changing to these “unseen glasses” unless eye problems will not allow them to wear contacts. Some change purely for the sake of improved appearance; others change because of sports or convenience. Most students wear hard contacts, but the new soft lens have become popular, especially for people who could not tolerate the hard type. Glasses fog up, impair vision, or get knocked off. Contacts pop out, hurt if some foreign object gets in the eye, and have to have special care. Each student sees the problem in a different way. Tammy Jackson: I love wearing my new contacts.” Gary Gentry, a basketball player, prefers contacts. Jaquetta Williams and James Goodwin still prefer to wear glasses. Student Life 21 “Grody To £ the valley-girl handbook The Max!” y- going our ■ V '. VALLEY ii f«— • . ► •! - � • “Gross me out the door!” “Go bag your face!” “Barf out!” Where does this talk come from? It comes from valley girls, of course. Valley talk began in California and spread across the nation. Phrases like “to the max” rolled off everyone’s tongues, and Westlake High students were no exception. Words such as tubular, skanky, and narly were all part of this new language. Translated into English, tubular is defined as spectacular, skanky is sickening, and narly means fantastic. SEVENTEEN MEETS MOON UNIT ZAPPA The article in the Seventeen” magazine teaches how to be a valley girl. ______________ A sure sign of a valley person is the pins that they wear with valley sayings. 22 Student Life Vandalism: Who Needs It? ( CW Graffiti on desk tops can be distracting. Writing on walls and desks is not the only type of school vandalism, but it certainly heads the list. School vandalism is nothing new, and vandals aren’t always the lower class characters that lurk in the shadows. A vandal can very well be an honor student. Just because he makes A’s and B’s doesn’t mean he won’t leave his name behind on a desk or bathroom wall. Vandals who practice graffitti seem to want the public to know everything about them. They publicize whom they like, whom they hate, what year they graduate, or simply that they were here. The graffitti seems to be harmless enough when it only read, “John was here, but vandalism, and vandalism is destructive no matter what type it is. Small words on a desk may not be as destructive as breaking locker doors or spraypainting on walls, but it is still destroying someone’s else’s property. These harmful acts are almost impossible to control. Hopefully one day, students will take such pride in their school that vandalism will not be tolerated by them. Some of the most destructive graffiti is to carve names, etc. The most common way to gossip is to write on the bath-on everything. room walls. Student Life 23 Westlake’s Version Of “Fame” MOSSVILLE UNLIMITED Patrick Benjamin, Jennifer Charles, Lucie Du-hon, Marvin Hester and Mary Williams all have something in common besides being seniors. They make up the Mossville Unlimited Dance Group, along with their sponsor Mrs. Barbara Lee. The dance group performs modern dance routines. These students have been dancing since 1979 when they began performing in the 9th grade at Mossville Jr. High for holiday assembles. In those four years the group lost a member, gained one and lost him, but after going through all that, those that stayed are “closer now than before” according to Lucie Duhon. The dance group develop all the steps in their dances themselves. When the members work out a dance, they find new steps to put with the ones they already know. To find new steps they watch television and remember the steps, and put them together with others to form new ones, or just make up their own. The dance group tries to do everything at least once because they feel nothing is too hard. The members of the Mossville Unlimited Dance Group are different in many ways. Each one tries to do his share to make the dance group successful. According to Patrick Benjamin, the dance group is “a challenge” to him and the other members. Marvin and the girls are practicing for their next dance. Mary Williams, Lucie Duhon, Marvin Hester, Jennifer Charles, and Patrick Benjamin, not shown. The Mossville Unlimited dancing in a program held at Mossville school. The group is dancing to Just Once. 24 Student Life Westlake Goes Punk Marty Morrison, Sonya Hall, and Tim Myers show off their punk hair style. Fads come and go whether they be designer jeans, shoestrings with pictures, alligator shirts, or certain hairstyles. Keeping with the trend, Westlake students have tried the latest fad in hairstyles — punk. The punk craze swept WHS students off their feet. The punk haircut is short enough on top to make the hair stand up, and is also cut above or across the ears. Girls with long hair kept their full length in the back, while the top and sides were cut “clean away.” Whether the fads require forty dollars for a pair of jeans or a trip to the barber for a haircut, Westlake students always manage to “keep up with the times.” Paul Jordan's hair “Stands Up” on top as a punk hair cut should. Janice Bray (left) gives a big smile of approval for her new hair cut. Student Life 25 Cal-Cam Representatives The West Cal-Cam Fair beauty pageant held for the Senior and Junior high school contestants was held October 5. The Westlake representatives were Rhonda Morgan, right; Liz Friesner, below left; senior representatives, and Colleen Broussard, below right junior representative. Rhonda is the 17 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Morgan. Her hobbies are modeling, dancing, water skiing and being with her friends. Rhonda’s activities include FBLA, C.O.E. and Spirit Club. She was a senior maid on the 1982 homecoming court. Rhonda was chosen one of the ten finalist in the pageant. Liz Fiesner is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Fiesner. Her hobbies are cheering, swimming, and dancing. Liz’s activities include Speech Club and Ramettes. Colleen Broussard, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Broussard, is an active member of the Ramettes. Her hobbies are collecting unicorns, making new friends, and shopping for new clothes. 26 Student Life A Pinch Is All It Takes Just a pinch between the cheek and gums is all it takes.' “Just a pinch between the cheek and gum is all it takes.” A favorite past-time among the guys seems to be “dipping” skoal. A skoal dipper can easily be identified by the faded ring on the back of his blue jean pocket. He is always seen with a fat bottom lip due to the tobacco that is neatly tucked between his cheek and gum. Dipping skoal may not seem enjoyable to some people, but “dippers” find it relaxing. Some might say, Oh that stinks! , but a skoal user always says, “A dip is all it takes. Dipping is a regular custom for Bart Gillard and Keith Reed. Bart Gillard with his “chaw”. Student Life 27 From Mini To Maxi Fashions Went To Any Length This year the mini was seen in the halls as was the maxi-length prairie look. Nell Commeaux (t.l.) is wearing a mini of jersey fabric. The prairie skirt can be worn casual as Angie Newsome is doing (t.l.) Angela Malveaux (t.r.) is wearing a blouse that has big gathered sleeves and a bow at the neck, both popular blouse styles. Pants changed lengths too. Patricia Wilright’s pants (b.r.) are called clam diggers and reach the calves. Lisa Rougeaux’s pants (b.r.) are called cropped pants and are a little below the knees. Vicki Duhon (t.l., p. 29) is wearing cou-lottes. Although Lisa Thibodeaux (t.l., p. 29) looks as if she is wearing a skirt, she also is wearing coulottes. Melinda Statton (t.l. p. 29) is wearing knickers that gather at the knee. Lucie Duhon (t.r., p. 29) has on what is called the “New Wave. The style is called 28 Student Life “tuxedo.” Mike Royal and John Payne (b.r.) wear a popular style called “G.Q.” - fashion from Gentleman’s Quarterly. Mike’s look is casual, but John is dressed for a night on the town. All in all, 1983 was a year of style and fashion.

To see that understanding look on a student’s face or a passing remark such as “That was interesting” can really put you on a high. A day in my home is pretty much the same as any other family where both the husband and wife leave the home during the day. My day usually begins at about 5:00 a.m. when I put a load of clothes in the washer. From this time on until I get to school, I do just about everything in triplicate — choosing three outfits, dressing three people, squeezing toothpaste on three brushes, three shampoos, etc. On a little fifty acre farm there is always something to be done .... We were on Highway 90 near Berwick when a tire blew out. Ray succeeded in getting the bike under control, but there was evidently a rather sharp drop off from the pavement because immediately the two of us went flying through the air. We landed side by side. He can recall flying through the air and debating as to how he should tuck his head for the fall. Today he is a quadrplegic. (We both had helments). I’m happy to say that our tragedy seems to have had more positive than negative effects. I’m thankful that Ray is alive today. We are a great deal closer to each other and we’ve both learned to appreciate life a great deal more. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Coltrin and daughter. Cara. Needless to say I got a great deal closer to God. I pray more today than I used to and truly believe He won’t give any of us more than we can handle. Both my husband’s and my worlds revolve around our little girl. Cara Fay is four years old and we really think of her as a gift from God. She was born on our wedding anniversary, June 27th, and has really changed our lives for the better. She also saves me lots of footsteps by helping me with her dad. Jackie Ackel: English I, Speech I. II; Charles Calderera: Coach-track and football. Civics. P.

The finished product was then colored in with a black marker.” Stevens added, “Name silhouettes designs are sold at amusement parks, carnivals and sometimes in shopping malls. They create a sort of personal trade mark for anyone. It’s interesting to see how different students came up with so many different designs, all made from their names.” Watercolors proved to be a popular project in the Art II class. Belinda Cole and Kelly Fontenot work on their pictures. Art classes are a combination of note taking and creating and even hogging the camera as Kevin LeDoux shows.

The proper welding equipment allows this protected welder to be anonymous. Mr. Singer instructs his welding class. Academics 43 Senior Learns Woodworking Skills “ ... Find The Course Useful.” “Wood Working is a good field to go into,” said Wayne Weston. Weston, a Senior, is also one of Coach Maggio’s woodworking students. Anyone may enroll in the course even though woodworking can be a dangerous class if a student is not careful. Safety techniques are stressed in all phases of class work. Students made items from simple placques to bookcases. In this course Weston learns different skills that would help a person in a construction field. Also he learns how to use the different equipment. “Everyone would find the course useful,” commented Weston. Musk Preparing For Job Market After Graduation Eddie Musk, senior, says that “anyone interested in welding as a hobby or job” would benefit from the welding class. He adds that welding is not dangerous if the safty procedures are followed. Musk hopes to use the skills he has learned in high school to help him get a job either to earn his living or to work his way through college or trade school whichever he decides to do. The challenge of using his skills makes welding interesting to Musk. He also adds that welding makes good money and the job market is stable since metals are used in so many construction areas. Musk describes a typical welding class as “about 20 minutes of discussion about what the objective is each day, about two hours of welding and about 30 minutes of cleaning up.” According to Musk the greatest benefit is having a trade and being prepared for the job market after high school. 44 Academics Woodworking Teaches Skills For Job Or Hobby Careful sanding is an important part of any woodworking project as Danial McCoy and Erine Smith and Keith Duhon know. Using a radial saw requires care and precision according to Tracy Young. Kirk Jobert listens while he finishes his race car. Sawdust and safty googles are both important in wood cutting as Scott Spikes demonstrates. Woodworking teacher Mike Maggio and the class discuss safty and tools before starting a project. Academics 45 English And Art Goes Hand In Hand “Inter-disciplinary studies” means taking what you learned in one class and using it in another. And that’s what happened this year between English and Art. Mrs. Jo Parker, English IV teacher, wanted a mural in her room. She and Mrs. Mickey Stoker, Art III teacher, discussed various ideas. “We thought of an outdoor scene because I miss seeing the grass, trees and sky,” said Mrs. Parker. “But I wanted it to tie in with English, if at all possible.” The solution came when Mrs. Stoker bought a coloring book with Shakesperian characters in it. “I knew immediately that this was the perfect idea for that wall,” said Mrs. Stoker. Mrs. Parker chose the characters she wanted, and the Art III students went to work. The project took six weeks to complete. “I would never have attempted a project of this magnitude if I hadn't had such an outstanding Art III class. This was a large class with a great deal of talent, Mrs. Stoker noted. I’ve taught more about Shakespeare to more students this year than ever before. Students stop by to look at the mural and stay to ask about each character. It’s tremendous and I enjoy it more every day,” said Mrs. Parker. “It’s truly a monument to the talented students of this school.” Jenny Hancock and Sheryl Sudduth share the same agonies in English. Psst! Jimmy, wake up! Dana Lyons and Darrel Yarbrough stays busy in Mrs. Coltrin's class. 46 Academics The Rally Team Does It Again Jenny Landry-English II.

Tammie Hayes is one of the many students taking part in C.O.E. (Cooperative Office Education). Tammie explains that she had to apply to enter COE. The requirements include an overall “C” average, having completed two business courses (one of them typing), good recommendation from teachers, good attendance record and being a senior. Tammie works from 12:30 to 4:30 at the City Hall which doesn’t interfere with her going to school. A COE student gets two grades, one from her employer, the other one from Mrs. Hauskin, the COE coordinator. Even though she gets two grades, Tammie gets three credits for being in COE. Tammie says, “My job has taught me responsibility,” and she would recommend this program to anyone. Above: Mrs. Hauskins stands with business class members Kelley Lovett.

Academics 53 Marty Morrison: A Leader Of The Future Leadership! You may ask what? Because not many students know about the Leadership program that Westlake High has to offer. To get more information about the program, we asked one of the senior members to explain. Marty Morrison, right, has been a member of the Leadership Program for two years. Also he was one of the students who entered the program when it was first established. Marty was selected by the gifted talented instructors after being tested. He is now working at West Cal-Cam Hospital as part of the leadership program. Marty says that he loves every minute of it and that it doesn’t interfere with his going to school. Marty added, “Leadership brings the students in direct contact with the work force and erases any false ideas that the student may have concerning the ‘Working World’.’’ Marty says he would recommend Leadership to all students. Ms. Pellerin, the teacher, says that “Leadership is a class for gifted juniors and seniors. The juniors explore professional career options and learn so- Kticated research procedures. But they also take trips, participate in discussions, role-playing and decision making to study careers. On the other hand, the seniors work with professionals in their chosen profession. They are employed at such places as McNeese University, Memorial Hospital and others. The Key To Home Economics Is Involvement 54 Academics Vickie Duhon makes sure the beater is working. Dianna Campbell concentrates as she sews her ma- terial. Home And Family Living Isn’t All Work And No Play “You, Your Family and Your Future and Management of Resources is one unit in which the student realizes what the future is concerning working or continuing education. Management of money and energy conservation are also discussed. A study is made of houses, apartments, and mobile homes. This unit includes basic floor plans and furnishings. A project called “Homes for Family Living” is required. Buying and Caring for Clothing” is a unit to learn how to shop for clothing so that the student learns how to make the most of his money. Caring for clothing and repairing old clothing is stressed and practiced. Careers are also discussed, with an emphasis placed on home-economics-related occupations. A study dealing with foods for a healthy body where emphasis is placed on planning and preparing simple nutritious foods is called “Family Foods”. The Child in the Home and Community is a short course explaining how the child in a home affects parents. It is also a study of how a child reacts to certain situations. This brief unit gives the senior high students an understanding of what the responsibilities of having a child would be. Home and Family Living is designed to teach the student about creating a home and being part of a family. Senior Summer Clark said, It teaches something that I can use in the future. Added senior Hayward Tezeno, “All seniors should take this course.” Summer Clark helps Darrin Estes with his project.

Rumors were flying everywhere. For example, it was said that Bandit was going to be sheared, painted and hung from the green bridge. But, as everyone knows, Bandit is privatly owned and if he were harmed, our “neighbors” would pay for their deeds. This event fired up the student body and the Senior class of “83” came up with their revenge. A few seniors arranged for a donkey to arrive at the pep rally where everyone was excited and waiting for something to happen. So when Westlake’s version of Sam Houston’s mascot was paraded around the gym by several seniors, pandemonium broke loose. Westlake high heaved a sigh when Bandit was returned home safe and sound. All ended well when next week the SHHS student body wrote a letter to the editor of the Westlake MB news to thank everyone, especially the owners of Bandit, for being such good sports about this good-natured prank.

The Ram-Page records the activities of a school year. Achievements and honors won by students are always a part of this record. An issue begins with ideas from the staff. Stories are assigned to reporters; copy is written, and pictures are taken. All of this is laid out on printing forms by the staff and sent to the printer. A lot of hard work is involved. MELISSA HARRELL; “I understand the pressures of a public newspaper more and admire them because even though the Ram-Page is small, it involves a lot of work but on a smaller scale.” Panic is rampant near deadlines. When the paper comes from the printer, the staff relaxes and enjoys the fruits of their labor. STACI YOUNG: “It wasn’t what I expected, but it was worth the work. I’ve enjoyed it.” The Ram-Page is an all-female group with the exception of Mr. Morris Fuselier, paper advisor. Most staff members said they did not mind this situation — said the girls could talk to their heart’s content and not worry about having a guy overhear. Editor WENDI VINSON said, “Serving as editor of the Ram-Page I have really experienced what it means to be dedicated to something that needs special attention and a lot of devoted time.” Johnise Hargrove, Vynessie Hill and Staci Young all agreed they had enjoyed the year, but also felt it was an eye-opening experience.

V. football players are there; the football players’ parents are there, and the J. V. cheerleaders are there. On Tuesday nights the Freshman football players are there; some of their parents are there, and the J. V. Cheerleaders are there. These cheerleaders are the unheralded boosters who seldom get the spotlight. Junior Varsity Cheerleaders are Staci Young, head cheerleader; Melissa Dew, Leisa Vincent, Rene6 Baker, Vynessie Hill, and Johnise Hargrove. All are sophomores and members of the Ramettes. This group stays busy by cheering at freshman and J.V. football and basketball games. Also, on Friday nights they march with the Ramettes. The JV cheerleaders attend the DCA Cheerleading Camp at McNeese State University before school starts and also hold a number of fund-raising activities. The lack of limelight does not bother the J. V. group very much. As Head Cheerleader Staci Young stated, “It was an exciting year for the J. V. cheerleaders and me; we contributed so much time and spirit to the games.

Were Now The Past Another year has passed, but it will hardly be forgotten. This was a year that we worked hard to be proud of and part of our school. The past year has brought many good times, and, of course, a few gloomy days. To seniors, the end of the school year brings only a new, challenging future. To freshmen, it brings them closer to that goal of graduating. During the past year we took part in the joyous times, the sad times, the sensitive times, and the crazy times. Our pride showed in all sports that came with every season. It showed with band and Ramette competitions, whether we won or lost. It showed with the achievements of the Rally students. And it showed in each of us personally for just completing a year’s work. The hard work that began the year of 1982-83 will again begin another school year. And those returning will take part and show pride to make Closing 191 the next year even better. Each year creates memories that will stay with us. The memories that have been made this year will definitely put a smile on someone’s face or bring a tear to someone’s eyes in the years to come. Then we will once again take part in and be proud of a special place and a special year. 192 Closing Top right: The last Ram Page of the year is bought by Belinda Cole, Monica Pousson and Blair Meyers, Susan McManus.
