We could not help but feel apprehensive and unsure about how things would work out. Yes, busing created an uneasiness among everyone, and the solution to that uneasiness certainly did not come overnight Indeed, both faculty and stu- dents combined their every effort into making the transition smoother. And instead of letting it defeat us, we chose to fight back in the true spirit of those who can accept the things which they cannot change. We strove to prove that it could work, but only if we were willing to make it work. In doing so, we successfully shat- tered what seemed to be an unbreaka- ble barrier At first glance, it may have appeared that this was an impossible task. Each student was unique; everyone pos- sessed a different color, shape, and personality. Looking back, it seemed that we were the pieces of a puzzle and our job was to see that the puzzle would be completed. We arranged the pieces one way and when we failed, we would try another until, by the end of the year, all of us found the place where we would fit in. Regardless of where we were from or what we were like, we found that we could exist side by side. It was by putting the pieces together that we learned an important lesson. We discovered that even though each of us was a seperate, individual piece, we would always be a part of that com- pleted puzzle.

Amir Vasigh and Stanley Winston type their program into the computer Walking into school on the first day, stu- dents discovered many new faces These new. and sometimes lonely, people soon began to build many lasting friendships within the school Learning to make new friends was part of fitting in. Building friendships was one sure way of turning a monotonous school day into a more pleasant, en|oyable adventure. Students turned to each other for the kind of emotional support that only a friend can give. When we were with our friends, we had a distinct feeling of security. We were free to let our craziest emotions, as well as our more solemn ones, come alive. Relationships existed not only during school hours. Many school-related activi- ties, outside of school hours, gave people extra opportunities to get together with their friends and have a good time. Still other people found it much more pleasing to get together with only a few close friends for entertainment Teachers also proved to be vital allies. Whether inside the classroom or out, teachers were always willing to lend a help- ing hand or give some friendly advice to their students. Everyone soon realized that friends made during the school year would remain friends for many years to come. Dressing up for the occasion.

For its first 1 5 years, Travis High School was a whole. But as South Austin expanded, the need for a new school arose. In 1 968, Crockett High School opened and Travis was divided, half of the student body going to the New South. We grew further apart until a fierce rivalry brewed between the schools. The New South was always a challenge to the Old South in every aspect. In a way, desegregation, which seemed to split up so many friends, was a reunion of sorts 1 2 years later. When transferring Crockett students first entered the doors of Travis High School in the fall of 1 980, not only did they bring their enthusiasm and inspiration, but also fresh ideas which they transferred to every organization in the school. Between us, we discovered new ideas for clubs and activities that could be added to our traditions. Putting the schools together in 1980 merged the New with the Old and gave us the best of both Assistant Principal Elena Vela was one ot the per- sons responsible for making the desegregation plan successful at Travis. Wherever she may be, Vela can be seen helping students with their schedules, permits, or any other problems they may have 6 — Opening temporarily tearing them apart Anxiously waiting, Rosa Perez raises her hand to ask a question, while Jason Quick works on his study sheet, pausing for a moment to think about the question At the Homecoming game, Cheerleaders Beth Maloney and Elizabeth Kidd organize their mums on the sideline and pick out some to wear Putting their ideas together, Mark Strange, Beth Maloney, Mary Gittinger, Trudy Gittinger, and Debra Hinoiosa. help each other with their English . . Opening — 7 GOP victories dominate election In a landslide victory that left many Demo- crats stunned, Republican candidate Ronald Reagan was elected 40th President of the United States. Two solid years of campaigning came to a close on Nov. 4, 1980 as voters rushed to the polls to cast a vote for their preferred candi- date. Although the race for the presidency was mocked by some as the Nobody for President election, voters made their opin- ions known that the only man for the job was ex-showbusinessman and former governor of California, Ronald Reagan When the dust finally cleared, it became apparent that the Democratic Party had been dealt its worst defeat since Dwight Eisenhower ' s landslide in 1952. While President Jimmy Carter limped away with a disappointing total of 49 electoral votes, winning only six states, Reagan overwhelm- ingly captured 498 electoral votes and approximately 43 million of the popular votes. Vote Republican, for a change seemed to be the attitude most Americans leaned toward when it came to punching in their decision. Indeed, many changes did occur as people dissatisfied with unfulfilled Democratic prom- ises elected more Republicans to other con- gressional offices. A political shift in power was witnessed when a quarter-century of Democratic domi- nation in the Senate ended. Republicans scored a net gain of 1 2 Senate seats, their biggest gain since 1946, while the Democrats failed to pick up a single Republican-held seat. Other than the two major-party candidates, also in the race for the presidency, were John Anderson, running as an independent and Libertarian Ed Clark. Anderson became well- known for his frank television commercials in which he promised no miracles for the Ameri- can public. Clark was concerned with giving people an outlet from the traditional Republican-Demo- cratic ticket. He stressed more freedom for cit- izens and less government control. Critics claimed that each man had made a fairly decent showing, but in a call-in tele- phone poll, two out of every three Americans believed Reagan had out-debated the Presi- dent. Ohio Democratic Chairman Paul Tipps summed up the feelings of a shaken and con- fused Democratic party as to the outcome of the election. He said, The election tells me one thing. That is that any public figure who is a liberal Democrat has tw o choices: find another job or change his philosophy. As one student at Travis remarked, The bickering between the Republicans and Dem- ocrats must be quieted or else this country will never be able to take a united stand on the critical issues facing us. 8 f As a crowd of Democrats gather to show support for their candidates Band Director Tom Waggoner leads the Rebel band in an entertaining tune The band played its football season repertoire and Happy Days Are Here Again at the rally.

The fun we had going to Gatti ' s on Riverside after a football game, or going to a midnight movie when we were ready to drop dead with sleep, will be foremost in our memories. What are we going to do this Saturday? was a question with almost limitless possibilities. Naturally, the one with the car was the lucky person who had the honor of chauffeuring the gang around to its favorite night spots. Concerts and parties kept the weekends lively, but if you were too pooped to get into the action, the TV set was always a last resort. All in all, entertainment meant doing something with the peo- ple you enjoyed being around.

A year of little difference The faces were different, the purpose the same A purpose known since pep rallies first began: to support the football team. The catch was to have fun at the same time Rallies ranged from indoors to outdoors, loud and outrageous, to wild and sensitive, highlighting even some of the cold- est mornings. Along with the fall came Homecoming, and the yearly Homecoming pep rally when mums, ribbons, and boutonnieres covered the school like leaves, blanketing students and teachers alike As enthusiasm, cheer, and confetti filled the air, the spirit stick competition began, soaring spirits and cheers well above the gym rafters Other pep rallies with McCallum, Austin High were also marked with significance Through good and bad, a purpose was resolved. Like a message from heaven, a scroll descends from the rafters of the gym and proclaims the ability to transform Crockett Cou- gars into kittens. Well armed with ballons, flags, and letters, teachers prepare to make a brave stand in the battle for the spint stick A good battle plan led to success.

Concert goers could enjoy not only music, but also other types of entertainment at the Special Events Center (SEC). In February, the Harlem Globetrotters dazzled fans with their basketball razzle-dazzle. Barry Manilow and Kenny Rogers were among a few of the great singers that performed at the SEC. The Cars visited the Municipal Auditorium to perform many hit songs in November. The Armadillo World Headquarters, which was formerly a favorite Austin entertainment spot, was torn down during the year. A large number of night spots were availa- ble for kicker dancers, including the Broken Spoke, the Silver Dollar, and Dallas, a coun- try disco. The Paramount Theatre for the Performing Arts was reopened to the public on October 6, after being remodeled over a three-year period. Window shoppers looked forward to the opening of the Barton Creek Mall off of high- way 360, which was to open in the early part of 1982. For those people who enjoy sight seeing, the State Capitol, built in 1 882-1 888, the Lyn- don Baines Johnson Library, and L.B.J. Ranch were a few of the historical points of interest. Even though Austinites do not share the same interests, most would agree that there is Nowhere but Austin. A mural marking the walls of the Varsity Theater and the General, Little Women, and Sounder. was painted by Carlos Lowry. Some of the scenes The mural took Lowry about a year to paint.

Webster defines it: Putting some- thing in place of another With fast-paced growth in the last year, Austin underwent significant changes. As quickly as the old structures were torn down, new ones were built With the addition of the new Century South and Lakehills Plaza centers, South Austinites no longer had to head north to shop And with the widening of the Interstate 35 bridge underway, it was hoped that soon many of the heartaches associated with rush hour traffic would subside. This expansion consisted of one lane being added to both the northbound and southbound sides, as well as service bridges and pedestrian walks along both sides of the bridge. Controversies developed during the year causing all sides to fight tooth-and-nail. Some people ' s idea of change was to tear down the Armadillo World Headquarters and replace it with a hotel, while others considered that move to be destroying one of Austin ' s land- marks And many voices rose when plans were introduced to narrow Congress Avenue in order to provide a more scenic view down- town. Putting something in place of another: a continous circle of change A controversial plan to narrow Congress Avenue included reducing parking space in order to make room for planters and trees The final decision was left to the voters Progress means growth, which often creates a need for larger facilities Such was the case with the Firestone Automotive Center, which moved to South Congress and made room for a City of Austin parking lot 16 — Seniors ti«ifms i!%a« u vaiiaHiiiK mi9ntuiWHas9«i iniiMtsnitts«Kii ;a a a A n r 71 — IM t BBS C8 i !

Some people would say they were fickle or had an identity problem, when actually they were just keeping up with the Student Council spirit days. Attempting to involve the whole school, var- ious groups at Travis sponsored special activi- ties aimed at raising spirit. Glancing down the halls on the day the football team battled San Marcos, one could see a wide variety of hats, from the traditional Rebel derby to a simple cowboy hat. Also, a new wave of sack shirts could be spotted in the crowd of spirited Rebels at the pep rally on Sack Mac Day sponsored by the Student Council. On Western Day the Urban Cowboy look invaded the Travis halls, in anticipation of the Lanier game. Finally, the highlight of the spirited football season, was the close Homecoming battle against Crockett Decorations of red and gray banners chanting mottos of each class and true Rebels draped the halls throughout the school. Not only were students covered with mums and boutonnieres of all shapes and sizes, but the Student Council also gave the faculty leis K fti y Participating in the traditional hall decorating competition are seniors whose banners wave Dix- ieland and could be seen throughout the senior hall This competition aroused spirit in all the classes, however the sophomore class was able to capture the winning touch in the science hall.

Though more expensive than the basic $1 hot lunch, students discovered that fast food places were well worth the high price for a change of pace. The fast food chains that were most popular with Travis munchers dur- ing the 30- and 45-minute lunches were Taco Bell, McDonalds, Sonic Drive-in, and Taco Villa. Those students who had more time to relax and watch the soap operas ate at Mr. Gatti ' s, while others played pmball at Spanky ' s Coney Island. No matter how various students spent their lunch, they all replied the same when asked what their favorite subject was, Lunch.

And to insure that travelers met their goal, a new absence policy was put into effect If a student was absent more than ten times, semester credit was lost However, the right of appealing to the Absence Review Committee was given to all students. Perhaps the most noteworthy difference in the semester was that an extra six weeks of class had to be dealt with There were dif- ferent opinions concerning the change back to the semester system. Commented Nancy Carlson, a junior, You spend too much time in one class and it gets boring. Felix Anzaldua, a sophomore, commented. I think it ' s better You learn more.

At pep rallies the student body felt more like a cohesive unit with one common goal: to drum up spirit and to whip the opponent. But there was always a feeling of sadness when a football game was lost, which happened more often than not. But then again, football wasn ' t our whole life . . . But after eight consecutive losses, the crowd was estatic when we won our last football game. Although the win made no real difference in the district standings, it made a lot of difference to students, who were beginning to wonder if we could win again On the day of the McCallum football game students received a special treat from the band, which held the first hall march. The students were excited, but their excitement was soon quashed by Principal Jack Allison. He got on the P. A. and announced that there would be no more hall marches because so many students were walking out of class after the band went by. But, all moods change, including the principal ' s. Eight weeks later the band was marching the halls for the Johnston game Emotions — 25 Class of 1981 Student wear Safety pins, kicker hats, Izod shirts Different strokes for different folks would probably best describe the wide variety of attire during the year. Jeans ranging from Levi ' s to baggies were more than likely the only thing common to the distinct assortment of people at Travis With each clique, there came individual locks. The new wave craze hit the school with flying colors Along with this fad came certain typical fashions Students punked out in ten- nis shoes, concert shirts, buttons, safety pins, and even pixie and eraser-head haircuts. Some students, with help from the charac- ter portrayed by John Travolta in Urban Cowboy, decked out in their western best. Suede cowboy hats, personalized belts, and boots ranging from rattlesnake to elephant skin could easily be seen in Travis ' halls Probably the most widely seen look around campus was the prep look Izods and top- siders were everywhere.

Night life was a big escape. Many students found that after a long, hard day at school, a relaxing way to spend the evening was the traditional movie-and-dinner date. As Home Box Office (HBO) became more popu- lar, students spent more time at home in the evening watching movies with their families or groups of friends. The more active crowd of students was attracted to the excitement of the dance floor. Those who preferred the western scene were often found at the long-time favorite, Broken Spoke. Still other students found the new trend of punk to be more enjoyable, and headed for Raul ' s. The mind-bending electronic games occupied the time of many. This old form of entertainment has recently become more popular. Arcades, such as Games Galaxy, could be found all over town. The night life did not necessarily mean an evening out on the to wn. Local sporting events attracted many people as spectators and participants. While many students were out enjoy- ing the freedoms of being a teen, others were busy at work making money. Night life meant relaxing, partying, working, and having fun. It was the per- fect answer to the strain of school. Night Life— 31 Class of 1981 Sharon Floyd Roxanne Franco Teresa Gallardo Ike Garcia Rosanne Gil 32 — Seniors The lights were dimmed A hush fell over the audience Masters-of-Ceremonies David Dunham and Linda Wiggins stepped onto the stage and announced that the third annual Travis Talent Show was now beginning. The show, which was sponsored by the Pie rian Club, with Brian Hudspeth directing and Emma Kelly as club sponsor, is an annual event performed to raise money to help pay for the publication of the Pierian, the school literary magazine. In order to better accommodate the large audience, the show was performed on two separate nights. Presenting the show on two nights worked better as far as solving the problems of the large crowd, but I think the people prefer it all on one night. It ' s more together that way, said Kelly. Judging this year ' s show were Zoanne Bro- kaw, Niecie Chatas, and Bob Limbacher. They judged each act on five factors: enter- tainment value, rapport with the audience, preparation, costume, and originality. After the first big night of entertainment, the judges selected the top three acts to compete with the acts of the second night. These acts were Tina Moody ' s solo, New York State of Mind, Alison Fendly and Eva Biddle ' s tap dance to Hold Tight, and the Poppers dance group performing to Burn Rubber On Me. The second night of the Talent Show brought even more entertainment and compe- tition. Commenting on the organization of the show, Hudspeth said, The second night defi- nitely ran much smoother than the first. By then we knew better what we were doing. The tension began to build as the judges left the auditorium to tally up their votes and select the winners. During this time, the rock band Primo, last year ' s talent show winner, provided entertainment as everyone awaited the news. The moment everyone had been waiting for had come. The judges re-entered the audito- rium, followed by the emcees. The results of the show proclaimed Moody as the first place winner with her solo. Second place was awarded to the Poppers dance group, and a solo of Could I Have This Dance? gave Becky Holcomb third place. Moody commented that It was the most unorganized talent show I have ever been in, (she has been in four previous talent shows), but it was definitely the funniest and I felt it was the fairest, since I was new to the school and no one knew me.

During the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, NY., in February, Eric Heiden of Madison Wisconsin won live medals in speed skating events Nlneteen-elghty was a year of ups and downs with the election of Ronald Reagan, the failed attempts to bring the hostages home, and double-digit inflation. Reagan won the race for president of the United States by a significant margin in the electoral college. However, incumbent Presi- dent Jimmy Carter ran a tight race with Reagan in the popular vote. For the first time in almost three decades, Republicans gained control of the U.S. Sen- ate. When the American Embassy in Iran was seized on Nov. 4, 1 979, the people inside of the embassy were taken hostage. All during 1 980 Americans sat eagerly, hoping for the return of their people. Disappointments came one after another, such as when the mission to free the hostages in April failed. Eight men were killed on the aborted mission, when a helicopter collided with a transport plane. Carter ' s peaceful neg- ociations to free the hostages came through on Jan. 20, 1 981 , minutes after he left his office and his successor, Reagan, was inau- gurated. However, the hostage crisis did pro- mote a sense of unity among the American people. Interest rates went up, as high as 20 per- cent in 1 980, while double-digit inflation con- tinued. The auto industry was a prime victim of the slumping U.S. economy. As a result, a lot of workers were layed oft and the Chrysler Corporation was once again in serious trou- ble. When a pro-Soviet marxist regime was installed by Moscow in Afghanistan in January of 1 980, Soviet troops invaded to put down local opposition. A year later, Soviet troops were still heavily involved in Afghanistan. The U.S. cut oft the supply of grain and technol- ogy to the Russians and withdrew the SALT II treaty from Senate consideration, and boycot- ted the 1 980 Summer Moscow Olympics in protest. Thirty-four people died from the repeated eruptions of Mount St. Helens in Washington. Another 23 were missing and thought dead.

The death of Lennon marked the end of many of the 1 960s hopes and aspirations. The most severe earthquake in years hit Italy on Nov. 23, killing nearly 3,000 people. By the end of the year, many people were still missing Relief poured in from all over the world. Iraq attempted to take over Iran ' s Persian Gulf oil refineries, but Iran fought back. The struggle threatened the already unstable Mid- dle East, vital to Western economies for oil. The influx of Cuban refugees along with Haitians into Miami and Southern Florida caused many problems in the national econ- omy. Chaotic riots took place in many of the refugee camps, where many restlessly waited during the painful process of resettlement. The luxurious MGM Grand Hotel became the towering inferno of reality. At 7:30 a.m. a fire broke out in the kitchen and casino of the MGM on Nov. 21 , 1980. The smoke, fol- lowed by fire, spread to the upper floors of the hotel while 84 trapped people died. After many years of ridiculing the Demo- crats for increasing the national debt ceiling, the Republicans were forced to bite their tongues and increase it also immediately after Reagan ' s inauguration in January. Thus ended 1 980 and began 1 981 , leaving Americans looking for a more productive year.

How do teachers combat it? Many thought variety was the key to grabbing a student ' s attention and interest. For a change of pace, guest speakers were often brought into the classroom to liven up the daily grind of note-taking. Actual experi- ences and first-hand knowledge seemed to appeal to students. And as government teacher Hope Lochridge explains, there were several more advantages to bringing in outside speakers. Especially in politics, a guest speaker can present a personal opinion whereas a teacher has to be objective and present both sides. She added, Besides, meeting celebrities or well-known public figures increases interest in the subject matter. The Little Theatre was a popular place for additional instructional activities. For example, Austin Community College sponsored a humanities program that included the appear- ances of musicians and artists from around the country. From politics to music to drama to health, there was a speaker for every occasion. And as more speakers aired their views or told of their experiences, there were less yawns and more enthusiasm. At Pepsi Cola ' s presentation of America Dances, additional entertainment was provided by Mike the Magician who impresses Tammy Ben- nett with his balloon forming tricks 38 — Seniors i K-98 disc jockeys Jim Jensen and Dave Jarrett interview Jackie Herrera on a tape to be played over the air during Jarrett ' s morning show.

Whether it was a basketball game, a sack race, or the annual Senior Girls ' Style Show, the gym was usually full of students eager to relax, socialize, and watch the assembly. Many different clubs and organizations sponsored assemblies to help finance differ- ent projects and activities. The great variety of assemblies reflected the many different tastes at Travis.

The major sympton of this virus is an overpowering desire of not wanting to come to school. The only cure for this desire was to wait for the weekends and spring break. Another symptom of this virus was the need to go on a diet. When most people peeled off their winter apparel they discovered extra baggage that had not been expected. Thus, an obsession for exercise was born. Some fortunate people did not have to exercise, but did so anyway. For these enthusiasts, the Capitol 1 0,000 was the answer. This 6.2 mile race was run on March 22. For those who preferred a less strenuous method of exercise, Zilker Park and several other parks offered a variety of recreational activities. The best thing about spring was the fact that summer and summer vacation were just around the corner. A popular spring hang-out for many Travis stu- dents was this spot on Lake Travis, across from Lakeway. Kite (lying has become an increasingly popular sport.

The students attended three hours a day, to work and observe various jobs. Once a week, all intern students got together for a seminar. They dis- cussed their experiences and expanded on other fields of interest. The AISD sponsors were Cathy Cave and Sandra Perry. In the Management Internship program, students did not get paid. But, they could get a good recommendation which could help when job hunting. And, most important, Man- agement Internship put students into careers for one semester — an invaluable aid to graduating seniors faced with so many choices. David Heaberlin, Politics David Heaberlin worked in the Management Internship program for Austin State Sen. Lloyd Doggett. He heard about the program and decided to see what it was like. When asked if he planned on a political career such as Dog- gett ' s he said, I ' m not sure, but it was a good experience.

Hergotz spent her afternoons working in a well-equipped darkroom and learning new techniques for portrait and studio work. As with all management interns, Hergotz received course credit for doing something she really enjoyed, and got an early chance at valuable experience in the highly competitive field of professional photography.

There were booths with goods from foods to crafts. Fiesta was a success, stated Al Casarez, who sponsored the carnival with his Travis Volunteers. Language clubs sold a variety of interna- tional foods such as egg rolls, tostadas, crepes, sausage, and baked goods Cheerleaders had a kissing booth. And for those who wanted more, there was a marriage and divorce booth, sponsored by the Human Relations Club. Some of the other booths were a cakewalk, dunking machine, and wet sponge throw. If someone wanted to play a joke on you, they either had you put in jail, or cracked confetti eggs on your head. For free entertainment, the Jazz and Maria- chi bands played a few tunes, and the boys and girls gymnastics teams performed tum- bling routines. The Volunteers set up the Fiesta.

Baseball Celebration — 53 Class of 1981 Picnic is cancelled, but the party goes on There they were, the Class of 1 981 , outfit- ted in blue jean cutoffs, bathing suits, and popular brand sportswear. Whatever the attire, all were there for the same purpose — to make the senior picnic a grand success. Activities started off slowly, however, as anxious faces turned skyward while ominous- looking clouds threatened to spoil the fun. Unfortunately, TV. weathermen ' s forecasts proved to be correct as 30 minutes into the event, sheets of rain drenched participants. A mad dash for safety resulted as seniors ran for the nearest car. A few loyal souls stuck out the rain, while others left the Rock Gardens to regroup at friends ' houses to await the outcome of the picnic. The sun eventually decided to make an appearance an hour later, when most every- one returned to find the picnic cancelled and an absence of any sponsorship. Although beer is not accepted at school functions, many rationalized that the picnic was no longer a ' school function. ' Many 1 8-year olds took advantage of the short time left for legal drinking as everything from Coors to Michelob made the rounds. But despite the sopping tennis shoes and hopelessly ruined hair, smiles could be seen as participants of the event generally agreed that the senior picnic was a grand, if not soggy, success.

Whether referring to a football game, or a dance, or a party, or just any event at all, good times seemed to crop up when- ever people were together Little did we know that it was hardly the event that made the impression on us, but the people there that made the event. Without people, the laughter, fun, and excitement would have been impossible. Whenever students were together, either at school functions or extracurricular activities, we always seemed to cheer each other on when we were ahead, pat ourselves on the back for encouragement, and stuck together when things didn ' t go exactly as we ' d planned them. Moments like caroling at Christmas time, throwing sponges at Fiesta, and hugging a friend at graduation, will be remembered for a long time to come. Despite the fact that there were also rough times, sad times, and boring times, the moments we spent together will always be thought of as the ' good times.

Richter stressed that his peers should take up any new challenges they might face during the years to come, and should make small individual contributions in their daily lives to improve society. Richter ' s final words to the class were, Let ' s beat Corpus Christi Moody Friday night! Richter, afravis varsity base- ball player, was referring to the upcoming regional playoff game.

There was a second of nervous silence before the emcee, Michael Cald- well, announced the winners. Then, after the pause, which seemed l ike hours, he spoke — Freshman Samantha Potts and Sophomore David Contreras had been voted the most beautiful and most hand- some in the annual Beauty Revue. Nominations for participants were made by each advisory and seniors at large were chosen by teachers. In all, there were 1 26 contestants. In the preliminaries, contestants were judged on beauty and poise. The judges were Carolyn Barkley, Meagen Bishop, Billy Coates, and Marilyn Wolf. After an intermission, six boys and six girls from each class were chosen to take part in the semifinals. There was then a session of questions and answers, after which fol- lowed a second intermission. When the judges returned, they had chosen a most beautiful and handsome for each class. From these eight people the overall most beautiful and handsome for the entire campus were chosen. This year the Revue was sponsored by Distributive Educ ation and the Rebelettes.

How about the time it was exam day and you looked around the room to find half the class missing, apparently sick at home? Some people would like to blank from their memories the many courses they took in high school, yet without the teachers, tests, and tons of homework you carried home at 3:55, school just wouldn ' t have been school. Of course life would have been much easier if it wasn ' t for those four-page reports due Monday, or those Three Hundred Commonly Misspelled Words spell- ing tests your English teacher nagged you about. Besides, without classes and teachers, what would you be doing between all those pep rallies, assemblies, and club meet- ings? Even though schoolwork seems to have caused more upset stomachs and headaches than anything else, most students endured through their suffering with the help of a couple of aspi- rins and good, old-fashioned determination.

Even though the atmosphere might not have been too aro- matic, the Science Department was full of imaginative courses and bright ideas. With the change to the semester system, enrollment was up to the maximum, especially in the upper classes. Alfred Boemer, depart- ment chairman, said, A change to the semester system was definitely for the better. ' ' He felt it gave teachers a chance to get better acquainted with their students and more time for laboratory investigation. The department had a door open for every student with a variety of classes ranging from physical sciences to oceanography. Each stu- dent was required four semesters of science to graduate. Most freshmen took Physical Science I and II. These classes put an emphasis on the metric system. The upperclassmen were able to take classes in Biology, Chemistry, Meteorology, and Astronomy. Another class in this depart- ment, taught by Roy Briggs, was Intro, to Flight. There was even a class which dealt with plants and gardening . Occasionally, there were field trips in the advanced courses for the students referred to as smart kids by Boemer. Many students who were especially interested in one particular area were allowed to come before school to get in extra study time.

' v e i There were larger classes in the morning because no credit was lost in case of failing. In regular classes, both the theory and BTW took only half the semester so the other half was spent in study hall. Because of the new semester system, fewer students were able to take Driver ' s Ed. Bigger enrollment was predicted for summer school, which required a $1 5 fee for theory and $66 for BTW. Students took Driver ' s Ed to be more inde- pendent, to get to work, to transport family members, to get to school, and because everybody else had a car. Most students who were 1 5 or over took Driver ' s Ed as their first step in getting their licenses. The course taught students about the traffic laws of Texas, how to obey them, and the rights and wrongs of driving. The course instructors were Gary Oakley and Gary Rog- ers. Driver ' s Ed was divided into two classes. First was the Driver ' s Ed Theory, which required 32 hours of study in class. Following that was Behind-the-Wheel (BTW) which required six hours of driving and observation by the state law. Behind-the-Wheel classes took students out driving downtown and on area highways. The fee for BTW was $48.50, which covered insurance, gasoline, car main- tenance, and a small portion of the instruc- tor ' s salary. Two of the 23 Driver ' s Ed cars in the district were assigned by Travis. The cars were equipped with an extra rear- view mirror, an eye check for the instructor to view all points, and an extra horn and brake pedal. There were morning classes which started at 7:55. From that theory class, the top six stu- dents were chosen for BTW, also in the morn- ing. Travis students were given a chance to work with computers with courses in computer math offered. Above is a printout from one of the computers that is available for use to Travis students. Computers have become an important part in most of our daily lives. Our society is living in the computer age. ■% rV t L I ImiJ Everything from Mym MdP L I M computers to 2 + 2 The switch from the quarter system to the semester system brought some changes in the Math Department, but students, as in the year before, still sweated through everything from the fundamentals of basic math to com- puter math and calculus. According to Marlon Halliburton, head of the Math Department, student enrollment went down causing the number of teachers in the department to drop from 14 to 13 ' 2, the half teacher being a part time instructor. Enrollment in higher maths increased slightly. No new courses were added in the depart- ment although several were revised. The teachers seem to like the semester system better because there is less shuttling of courses, stated Halliburton. Travis students were given a chance to improve their skills for several competitions with a math club that was formed this year. The club, organized by math teachers Janie Escalante, RoxAnn Johnson, and Joy Leal, participated in the Austin Independent School District Math and Science Fair, and UIL con- tests. A trip to San Antonio to compete in a contest March 1 4 was also planned. Four semesters of math were needed to meet graduation requirements. Paying attenton in a math class may be the most difficult task that is asked of students in high school. The task may have been conquered by Tom Hefner and several other students who are watching a demonstration on an overhead pro- jector in a geometry class. 78 — Math Department -I The rigors of teaching may have finally gotten to teachers Albert Casarez and period.

Representing AISD ' s Indus- trial Arts (IA) clubs was Travis IA Club Presi- dent Jim Degelia, vice-president Larry Reeves, and club sponsor Richard Wolf, who made a presentation at City Council Cham- bers. Industrial Arts, which covered photography, metals, drafting, electricity, leather, jewelry, plastics, ceramics, and wood crafts, was dom- inated by boys in the past, but is now slowly being introduced to girls. Students could learn basic wiring or how to build tables and chairs. They (students) learn the basic skills of using tools related to the various industries, ' ' stated Ronald Bilbrey, jewelry teacher. Exceptional class projects were sent to regional fair, sponsored by the Hill Country Industrial Arts Association. Held at Bedichek Junior High, the fair not only displayed exhib- its, but also offered tests for those students wishing to compete. If projects were successful at the regional fair, entries then moved on to state competi- tion held in Waco at the convention center. Club members sold candles to finance the trip expenses. Though somewhat new to Industrial Arts, electricity, taught by Tom Buls, had many interested students. I think it ' s one of those subjects students can take if they ' re going to pursue a career in electronics, and this will prepare them for training, stated Buls. Besides the feeling of having made some- thing for yourself, Industrial Arts gave stu- dents skills for some possible future jobs such as carpentry, electronics, and photography. V .

Cosmetology grooms jobs The Cosmetology Department, which was a member of VICA, kicked off the year with annual initiations. To be eligible to join the club, students had to participate in the initiations. The initiates were required to know the VICA colors, pledge, and motto — Preparing for leader- ship in the world of work. According to teacher Julia Young, leadership trainings began during the first week of the course. The colors of the club, which were red, white, blue and gold, each stood for some- thing specific. Red and white represented the individual states and clubs, blue the common union between the states and clubs, and gold the individual, which VICA believes is the most important element. The students learned new aspects of hair styling, bleaching, and tinting, permanent waving, scalp conditioning, hair relaxing, wig- gery, facial treatments, manicuring and pedi- curing.

A A D .1 A ' C E A A Social Studies covers the world Students were greeted on the first day ot school with many subjects, one of which was required of all students- — Social Studies. Receiving a hand-me-down of knowledge in these courses, students gathered facts about other countries and learned of past history, but the time spent in these classes was cut short by the semester system, according to Department Chairman Jerome Buxkemper Changing from the quarter system to the semester system was difficult for both stu- dents and teachers. It was hard for planners to decide which courses in Social Studies to leave out and which to leave in Under the quarter system, students were required to take eight quarters of Social Studies. Under the semester system, students were required to take five semesters of Social Studies, so students lost six weeks, explained Buxkem- per. Social Studies enrollment was down because 1 0th graders were not allowed to take American History, Buxkemper said. Enrollment in Government also dropped because of some mid-term senior graduates. Prisoners from the Huntsville Prison made a presentation to Jane Craig ' s Government classes. They were also visited by U.S. Con- gressman Jake Pickle. Hope Lochridge ' s classes went on field trips and the Special Education classes iri Social Studies attended the featAe of ree]R and Roman Statues exhibit set up by the Uni- versity of Texas. They al§p had a reenactment experiment of scientific revolution. This was Galileo ' s experiment of following weights, said Lochridge. The mock presidential election, in which all Social Studies classes participated, was prob- ably the biggest event for the Social Studies Department Social Studies was a big part of high school education, involving students in the world, politics, government and history. ' Special Ed conquers disabilities For approximately 1 80 students with physi- cal disabilities, special assistance was pro- vided by the Travis Special Education Depart- ment. About 30 classes and 1 teachers brought various forms of support to handicap- ped students. Some of our Special Ed classes may have as many as 30 students while some may have only three, said Florence Schieve. The rea- son for this is because some students may need more help than other students. Six teachers were resource teachers, three were vocational and one was an aide. Each teacher had five classes. A handicapped student is just a regular person with certain physical limitations, said Schieve. Each student has some special needs but these students need a little more help than most students. Such disabilities as cerebral palsy, muscu- lar dystrophy, polio, hearing loss, and visual problems were common. Special Education was financed by the Aus- tin Independent School District, with addi- tional support coming from state and federal money. % 3 t ■ , i During fourth period, Jennifer Bowlin concen- helps Carrie Stewart in understanding the tutor- trates on her assignment, while Florence Schieve graph learning system. Wet zels ' unknown disability makes it impossible to write Katrina Wetzels, sophomore, was one of the many Special Ed students who had a physical disability. The doctors don ' t know what I have, said Wetzels. Because of her disability she had to type most of her work using a head- pointer. She used tape recorders and extra help from teachers for geometry assign- ments. Wetzels said the doctors found out when she was four and that as she gets older her disability gets worse. It never really bothered me, said Wet- zels, but I ' m disappointed in people that feel sorry for themselves because they could be a lot worse off. Tom, younger brother of Wetzels and freshman, had the same disability. He used to be able to play football but it got steadily worse, said Wetzels. I ' m glad I came to Travis. It has a real good atmosphere, said Wetzels. She also mentioned the teachers here are more receptive than many other teachers. Using a headpointer, Katrina Wetzels is able to type her work.

Exercise and nutrition stressed in all classes There was never enough time to get dressed; there were never enough towels; the dressing room was too small; and it was always too hot or too cold. These were all common complaints from many of the students in Physical Education classes. Three semesters of P.E. were required of all students, except band members, for graduation. Rudy Alvarez, head of the boys ' department, said Since the semes- ter system, students have had less choices of classes. Jan Vaughan, the girls ' department head, said the change to semes- ter resulted in a slight enrollment decline. The three most popular classes were modern dance; a combination of basketball, football and baseball; and physical conditioning, which consisted of weight lifting, aerobic dancing, and running. There were six new P.E. teachers: Kleo Halm, David Seaborn, Brenda Cox, Eddie Howell, Bob Sanders, Gary Osborn, and Jim Reed, who was also new to the department. Every student was required to take one semester of health to gradu- ate. There was also an elective health course, called Contemporary Health, taught by Jane Bedford It was a combination of advance study of diseases, sex education, and first aid, in which students learned about Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Delbert Davis, head of the Health Department, said, Since we now have the semester system we have had to combine what we taught in 24 weeks in 1979-80 into 18 weeks. The main topics that were taught in health were sexuality, diseases, first aid and safety, changing per- sonalities, and growth and development. Exercise and nutrition were stressed in my classes, said Davis. Mauricio Zavala works out on one of the many weight lifting leg presses, to strengthen leg muscles Working at the Austin Republican election headquarters, Laurie Hage helps by giving out information to callers. Government Seniors told voting right is obligation Government was a required course for all seniors. Hope Lochridge, instructor, said the purpose of the course was to make students aware of how the government worked and how to take part in it. Lochridge said, Gov- ernment (class) prepares students for when they become 18. Government teacher Jane Craig knew that students would soon be of legal voting age and that the more they get involved now, the more they will stay involved. The government classes participated in a model legislature, near the beginning of the semester. The students wrote their own bills on subjects ranging from school rules to abor- tion, to flying the flag at half mast while the hostages were held in captivity. Mock elec- tions were also held. The students chose the candidates they would have voted for in the election, and debated for them. Four prisoners from the Huntsville prison came to talk to the students. The prisoners were young, first-time federal offenders. They discussed why they were in prison and explained their daily schedule there. When the students were studying the court system, the police came and talked about their jobs and what it took to be a policeman. Lochridge felt that this section was probably the students ' favorite because it involved their rights if they were stopped, and explained when they could be stopped. Craig taught an advanced government class for those that were more interested in that subject. She thought that most of the stu- dents who took this class were the ones who might eventually like to hold some type of gov- ernment job.

' J . k G o vernm en t — 89 Art is This mural of a Rebel man that hangs on the cafe- teria wall was painted by the art students and club members. It is only a part of the complete mural showing the years at Travis. In the opinion of Virginia Grumbles, art teacher, Photography is an art form. What the photographer visualizes he captures on film. But, the artist sees an object and cap- tures it on paper, canvas, or in a sculpture. Terry Hines, photography teacher, agreed that both art and photography express ideas or feelings. During the year, art students worked on a cafeteria mural, library mural, and an art room mural. The advanced students had their own two hour block class, which was tried out for the first time this year. The art students also entered various competitions. The two most unique objects created this year were Simone Aybar ' s watercolor Taste for the Road and Lisa Beebe ' s self portrait as a bloody head. Art students, under the guide of Grumbles, favored jewelry, pottery, and watercolor.

Grumbles said, Making art is a natural and impulsive thing that belongs to everybody. Lisa Beebe, president of the Art Club, said Art tells the story of your life. My emotions give me ideas for my work. Richard Mather, Hallmark Gold Key winner, added , It also expresses your views on life. ' ' The activities of the Art Club over the past few years have expanded. Such activities dur- ing the year were the Homecoming game, var- sity crash banner, selling candy plus artwork, and awarding an Art Scholarship at gradua- tion. In 1 971 . the Art Club started the now tradi- tional Spring Fiesta. It was orginally meant to get different organizations together working for the benefit of the school. While holding up her self portrait, Lisa Beebe went on to explain the symbolization of it.

What is the meaning of Photography? repeated Terry Hines, then joked saying, That ' s a good one! He explained that photography, like any- thing else, is a medium and allows for a lot of individual expression of ideas. First, you must learn the technical data, because if you cannot handle it you have nothing. Photography is considered an Industrial Art because it is a system of process and produc- tion. The fees for the classes were $1 2 for both General and Advanced Black and White courses.lt cost $20 for the Color and Special Problems classes. Photography is more of a hobby interest than a career orientation, stated Hines. The most advanced course offered was Special Problems. Each photographer worked on creating a portfolio that consisted of 1 2-1 5 finished photos which represented their work. Photography students entered scholastic competition in the fall and the Hill Country Student Association in the spring. Hines said he felt the best photography taken was Kacy Porterfield ' s Rose. It was well exposed, had good color, and was sharp, something I expect from all my students, he said.

Business Education prepared students for college and jobs such as stenographer, clerk typist, and bookkeeper. It consisted of general business, typing, shorthand, accounting, business machines, and business law. Shorthand was offered just to juniors and seniors because freshmen and sophomores lose speed after graduation, said Mary Eliz- abeth Ownsby, the head of the Business Department. The same rule applied for busi- ness machines and business law. Travis had about 1 00 typewriters, 20 calcu- lators, 1 adding machines and 4 dictaphones in the Business Education Department. Along with Business Education, there were vocational classes such as Pre-Employment accounting, dictation, law Lab (PEL) and Vocational Office Education (VOE). Again, PEL was restricted to juniors and VOE to seniors. A prerequisite of one year of typing or bookkeeping was required. PEL was worth two credits a year and VOE was worth three credits a year. PEL consisted of a 2-hour block in class working with typewriters, computers, and behind the desk. This course prepared the students for actual jobs. Junior labs contrib- uted in school data processing, schedule changes, and with ID pictures. VOE included one hour in class and two hours of on-the-job training either in the mornings or in the afternoons depending on the students ' preference. Students worked at IRS and received about $4.00 an hour. In addition to the regular courses, clubs such as Office Education Association (OEA) offered students a chance to compete with students from other schools. The first week of February was the National Vocational Week and the president of the club, Maggie Esquivel, accepted a proclama- tion by the City Council. OEA competed in Area 1 1 1 OEA confer- ence in Georgetown, Feb. 27. They had money raising projects such as a pie eating contest on Feb. 6 and candy sales to provide for their trips to different contests. The VOE banquet was held March 1 9 in which the employee of the year was announced. On Oct. 25, they also competed in a softball tournament in which they came in 4th place.

Business Education — 95 Explaining things very clearly and thoroughly is one way Sylvia Quintanilla helps her students to overcome their lan- guage barriers. Here she is giving instructions to a Thai student, Song Sangmook. Quintanilla understands: th eir pro blem s were h ers It takes a special type of person to teach students from so many countries and backgrounds. That per- son must possess a great amount of patience, love, and understanding. Sylvia Quintanilla, English, French, and English as a Second Language (ESOL) teacher, was just that kind of person. Quintanilla was born in Argentina where her father worked as an American foreign diplomat. Dur- ing her life her father ' s job enabled her family to travel widely. There were trips to Latin America, North Africa, Europe and Mexico. In 1 965, she and her family were living in the Dominican Republic. When a revolution broke out there, her family was forced to evacuate to Puerto Rico. Everyone went except her father. Here they became refugees, living in barracks and sleeping on cots. Quintanilla says that having to go through this ordeal helped her to later understand what some of her students have gone through. She, like many of them, was separated from her father for a long period of time. And when she left the Dominican Republic she left behind her home and all of her belongings. There was a difference between Quintanilla and her refugee students, though. When she was in Puerto Rico she still attended American school with people who spoke English. And even though she couldn ' t return to the Dominican Republic, she could return to her own country, America, whereas her refugee students can never return. It was not as traumatic for me, Quintanilla said, I had some place to go, they didn ' t. Quintanilla has been teaching for nine years. This was her third year at Travis and she said that she was enjoying it. It is a very self-satisfying job. When asked what steps she takes with a new for- eign student she replied, It ' s different with each student. First you have to have a tremendous amount of understanding of what the student has and is going through, then you deal with their indi- vidual problems as they arise. Besides being a friend and counselor to the foreign students. Sylvia Quintanilla has also been given the task of teaching them to speak English. As with learning any for- eign language, the key to success is listening to the sounds and watching the way they are produced. 96 — Foreign Students Qo i s Being a lawyer has always been a dream of Song Sangmook, a student from Thailand. He feels that he now has a better chance of fulfilling that goal. A roundup of Rebels from all over the world At one time or another everyone dreams of traveling to another part of the world. For many that dream may never come true, but the students at Travis had one advantage — students from other parts of the world came to them. The foreign students came from a wide vari- ety of countries, but for three basic reasons. Students from Venezuela, Mexico, Thailand, and Korea came so that their parents could find work or attend the University. These stu- dents were free to return to their own country if they wished. The students from Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, El Salvador, and Cuba were not as for- tunate. They were seeking refuge from politi- cal repression in their own countries. They had little hope of ever returning to their coun- tries. Some came with their families, some without. Some arrived in the United States after spending up to two years on a refugee island. All of the foreign students shared one major handicap when they arrived at Travis. They could not speak English. But with the help of their English as a Second Language (ESOL) teacher, Sylvia Quintanilla, they soon learned enough English to communicate in a class- room situation. All of the students expressed a common goal for their future — they wanted to finish high school and continue on to college. Many were striving to be lawyers, nurses, architects, and mechanical engineers. All of them said they liked the United States and are really happy at Travis. Their only com- plaints were about the cold Texas winters! One advantage of being an ESOL student was that you got to spend time with students from many dif- ferent nations. In this class from left to right, starting at the back, are: Marietta Chacin from Venezuela, Martin Garcia from Mexico, Dinh Ngo, Tri Huynh, Quyen Ngo, and Dai Lien from Vietnam.

Department wages war on spelling New classes, new teachers, and a new semester system. This was the Language Arts Department in the 1980-81 school year. Everything is new in a way, said Gaylan DuBose, chairman of the Language Arts Department. Three new teachers arrived on the scene. Kathleen Hudson came in September, while Mary Kaznowski and Scott Roberts came in January. These teachers all taught Freshmen English and Correlated Language Arts. Several new classes were also started in the department this year. American Cultures and World Cultures were both block courses with the Social Studies Department. American Cul- tures was American History and English V combined. World Cultures was World History and English III combined. Both of these were two hour courses instead of the standard one hour course, providing time for each separate course. The other new class started was a Gifted-Talented class for Freshmen, stressing better writing ability and literature. DuBose said that spelling was the main thing all teachers in his department concen- trated on, giving tests regularly hoping to up STEP scores. DuBose said, We have sure worked on it. Travis students entered two essay contests for the first time — one on Alcohol Abuse and the other entitled 55 for Safety, on the 55 mile per hour speed limit. Travis did excep- tionally well in both. Freshmen journalism students, Jennifer Hufnagel, Sandra Ray, Michelle Spencer, Harold Taylor, Nick Martinez, Raymond Milligan, and Danny Ferran work on yearbook layouts. Journalism, which was a Language Arts elective under the quarter system, became a general elective under the semester sys- tem 98 — Language Arts Department The Write Place 9 Gracie Gonzales, Angelina Ramirez, James Reynolds, and Jeff Atkins are several of the many students who used the Writing Lab.

Senior newspaper reporter Ramona Jones punches out a rough story draft, one step in the long process of publishing The Southerner. Journalism students attempted to bring a new look and quality to Travis publications in 1980-81. Working with yearbook student expendi- tures of approximately $1 1 ,500, the staff ' s goal was to produce a reflection of life at Tra- vis High School that touched the broadest possible base of activity. Approximately half the expense of publish- ing The Southerner came from the Austin Independent School District. AISD requires free, campus-wide distribution of student newspapers in Austin high schools. Advertising sales by journalism students paid the remainder of the printing bill. In 1 980-81 , journalism students produced 64 pages of tabloid newspaper copy, under the direction of Editor Valerie Callaghan, sen- ior, who originated feature ideas, edited stu- dent stories, and designed the layout of the newspapers. Assistant Editor Margie Swanson recorded ad sales and helped Callaghan and Sponsor Mark Yemma prepare camera-ready, photo-composition pasteups of Southerner pages. Under the guidance of Seniors Connie Carnline and Liz Ornelas, and Yemma, this 224-page book, the 1981 Roundup, was also produced.

Photography was an Travis Publications ers strove to report on as many different sub- jects and events as possible, given their page and budget limitations, according to Yemma. Early in the fall semester, staff members set a goal of improving the design of their publica- tions following a helpful question-and-answer visit with ex-Washington Post Artist Robin Jar- eaux, who outlined some practical steps towards upgrading the content and appear- ance of newspaper and yearbook. Students received general elective course credit in journalism in 1 980-81 , a change from the discarded quarter system, under which journalism was an English elective. After taking bids from three printing firms in September, Newsfoto Yearbooks, Inc., of San Angelo, Texas, was chosen to print Roundup ' 81. The Southerner was typeset by Pond, Inc., and printed by the Austin Citizen Printing Co. In October, students went to work in ear- nest, shooting roll after roll of color film to pro- duce the first section of the yearbook, and planning the overall design of the book. In addition, students published three issues of The Southerner before Christmas. The day before Christmas break, staff mem- bers mailed off 47 pages of yearbook copy and celebrated with a Christmas party. Throughout the spring semester, students published five more Southerners and com- pleted the remainder of the yearbook. On March 13-14, journalism students attended the Interscholastic League Press Conference (state convention) at UT-Austin, and on April 3 they participated in a sympo- sium on the First Amendment at the LBJ Library. Unlike many school journalism programs, students at Travis worked on both newspaper and yearbook, regardless of which class they were registered in. On any given day, depending on what was most urgent, you could find yearbook kids writing newspaper stories, or newspaper kids laying out yearbook pages, said Yemma. We all worked as a team to meet every dead- line. Production of the yearbook did not stop with the end of school in May. Throughout the summer, every page was proofread and given a final inspection, and even before the ' 81 Roundup was delivered to Travis, a new staff was busy planning the 1982 book. Our student staff was small, but extremely dedicated and talented, said Yemma. Their creative talent, reflected in this yearbook and their eight Southerners, is an accomplishment they can be proud of and carry with them for- ever. important aspect of the journalism program, with students processing and printing approximately 90 percent of all pictures used in the yearbook Freshmen members of the publications staff are Robbie Boutwell, Danny Ferran, Jennifer Hufnagel, Harold Taylor. Sun Hae Hur, and Raymond Milligan Publications Department — 101 Bold policy proves its merit Implementation of a bold, new ettort to control and improve student absenteeism in mid-September preoccupied the ener- gies ot the Travis administration in 1 980-81 . Give a ' no-grade ' to any student with 1 1 absences or more unless otherwise instructed by the Attendance Review Commit- tee. This statement appeared on a bulletin given to the Travis fac- ulty at the end of the fall semester. Students with excessive absences were, for the first time, feeling the bite of the policy. Creating a program to improve attendance, which benefits the student, has been a concern of parents, faculty, and administrators for the past two years. After much thought and deliberation, especially among fac- ulty members, a policy was hammered out, based on a similar, successful program implemented at Austin High School several years ago which produced dramatic results. After one semester, Travis ' new program proved its merit. During the first six weeks in 1 979, there was an attendance of 91 .8 percent which climbed to 93.8 percent under the new policy for the first six weeks this year. The second six weeks of 1 979 showed a student attendance of 89.4 percent while again this year ' s second six weeks rose to 92.8 percent However, the largest increase in the first semester comparison of 1 979 to 1 980 appears in the third six weeks. An 87 6 percent student attendance in 1979 rose to a 91 .79 percent in 1980. For the first semester of this past year there were 1 43 appeals carefully investigated by the Attendance Review Com- mittee. In each case the committee considered the reasons for the absences and decided whether credit should be received This policy has definitely helped. It improved the attend- ance tremendously, said Elena Vela, assistant principal. Working out conflicts in schedules after the second semester began.

Do you feel that they really want to learn? Does high school prepare students adequately for college? For years teachers have been asking students for their opinions on everything from politics to school policy. These pages provide us with an opportunity to quiz the teachers. Teachers were selected at random by the yearbook staff and asked to reply to a list of questions. What do you feel is most rewarding about teaching? Some replied that the positive interaction with students gave them much satisfac- tion. What do you feel the students could do to make your job a little easier? Maria Mack felt they could ' ' accept the responsibility which they seem to want when they ask to be treated as adults. What has been one of your most embarrassing experiences with teaching? Few chose to answer that one JANE CRAIG: Teaching is something I chose to do when I was thirteen, and I really find it a very satisfying profession with advan- tages such as being my own boss in my classroom, satisfying my creative urge, being able to combine my interest in politics with my teaching, and the inner satisfaction of feeling that I may have made a small contribution to someone ' s life. MARIA MACK: Students should accept the responsibility which they seem to want when they want to be treated as an adult. Most frequently, ex-Reb- els return and comment on the success that they have enjoyed in college because of specific courses they took here. I espe- cially enjoy learning that they placed out of one or more chemistry classes. THOMAS SNOWDON: Only a few students really know the importance of get- ting an education, but many want to learn. KAY DASILVA: I think high school will prepare a student for college if the student will choose advanced academic courses beyond those required for graduation, which are designed to prepare one for col- lege. Also, a student must have a good positive attitude. 104— Faculty JEROME BUXKEMPER: I do feel that most students realize the importance of an education. I have heard many students say, long after they have gotten out of school, that they wished they would have learned more and applied themselves more when they were in high school. GAYLAN DUBOSE: I hardly ever have problems with stu- dents whom I know and who know me. My problems come when I have to deal with stu- dents who do not know me. So if all students would be courteous to all teachers, my job would be a little easier. I think students will be courteous if they ' d just realize that all of us teachers are just trying to do our jobs as we are asked to do them. Most of the things we have to do are for the students ' benefit in the long run. GERALDINE BROOKS: think we were all born want- ing to learn. I don ' t think you can really understand how important an education is until you have been out on yourown. JOAN RANSOM: Teachers and their attitude about learn- ing have a great influence on the students at all levels of school. BUD MATHEWS: I believe high school can prepare a student for college, if the stu- dent wants to take advantage of it. The motivation must come from the student.

More likely than not, students either ran into a brick wall or got lost in a maze of unanswered questions. It was for this rea- son that counseling was provided. How- ever, according to Alf Morris, the coordinating counselor in charge of scholarships and testing, students were not taking advantage of these services. We can do a lot of good for the students if they ' ll just give us the chance, stated Morris. We strive to be student advocates. It is our job to stand on the same side as the student and to take up for them as much as possible. Morris added, It ' s a shame that most people picture us in the role of disciplinarians, because we ' re not. We have deans to do that sort of work. The counseling staff was broken up into grade levels and consisted of Adam Lopez, Bill Christian, Sissy Jones, and Charles Rob- erts. The services which these counselors provided covered all vocational, educational, and personal social areas. Not only were counselors more than willing to sit down and discuss career plans after graduation, but they were just as happy to assist in any per- sonal problems students may have had.

We don ' t just give advice. Our job is to show different alternatives and different paths of action. In the end, it ' s up to the student to make the final decision. — Alf Morris (Continued from Page 107) I feel that a majority of the students are afraid to come in and talk with us about their problems because we might violate their con- fidence, explained Morris. But I assure you that whatever is said in our offices will be kept under the strictest of confidentiality. In an effort to make known to the student body the availability of these services, coun- selors had newsletters distributed to alleviate some of the fears students may have had about counseling. We ' ve taken these steps because we feel that students don ' t utilize us as much as we ' d like them to, said Morris. We feel that we offer some valuable services, but the student always makes the final choice. 108— Faculty Joan McShane Mike McShane Doyle Melton Marvin Molberg Alt Morns Anne Nappa Gary Oakley Mary Elizabeth Ownsby Miriam Parns Cheryl Patton Yvonne Powell Dons Price Charles Priddy Pam Pugh Delicia Quea Sylvia Quintanilla Joan Ransom Jimmie Reed Barbara Ribble John Richter Charles Roberts Gary Rogers Minny Rogers Bob Sanders David Seaborn Edward Shelby Ron Smith Thomas Snowdon Charles Stewart James Swift Mia Taylor Sheryl Thompson Quince Tiller Elena Vela Abel Villarreal Tom Waggoner Dawn Wakefield Carolyn Waller Betty Walther James Wilson B.J.

If your interests were bulls, boots, and belt buckles, there was the Rodeo Club. Organizations such as the Biology Club, Texas Historians, and the Speech Club promoted exploration in subjects beyond the 55 classroom minutes each day. Groups of spirit boosters were organized to support the sports teams. The band, cheerleaders, Rebelettes, and Travis Volun- teers, among others, worked at this goal. Many work-related programs formed groups which partici- pated in district competition. These groups involved students working on-the-job in areas ranging from retail stores to offices. Students studying foreign languages joined language-related clubs. These clubs participated in contests displaying their tal- ents in the languages field. Extracurricular organizations provided students with a chance to experiment with their current interests and develop new ones. Band 112 Rebelettes 118 Cheerleaders 120 Drama 1 22 Choir 128 D.E.

Temperatures were in the high ' 90s, and band members were out on the field working on marching drills. A typically busy year for band students had already begun while most students were still enjoying the cool water of Barton Springs. Summer band, which began on July 22 for freshmen and a week later for all others, pro- vided time to work on marching fundamentals and prepare for the first few half-time shows. These work-outs were to be the foundation in working towards First Division Sweepstakes ' at the UIL contest scheduled later in the year. To start off their performances, on Aug. 1 , the Rebel Band marched at the annual Aqua Festival Parade on Congress Avenue, and later in the AISD Band Jamboree in Memorial Stadium. Fundraising projects were tackled early on. The $1 0,000-51 2,000 needed to send the band on a spring trip was earned by selling team mugs and popcorn cans. In March, the well-known Rent-a-Rebel plan went into (Continued on Page 116) Marching along to the beat of the drums, band members pause briefly in their playing before attempting the trip upstairs to the English wing Waiting tor the previous performers to clear the field, band members stand at ease during the AISD Marching Band Jamboree held on Aug. 1 .

The money raised from such projects suc- ceeded in sending the whole band to the pres- tigious Buccaneer Music Festival in Corpus Christi April 23-26. The band ' s spring line-up of concerts started with a bang at the Pops Concert held in the Little Theatre on Feb. 1 0, with the Symphonic Band, the Jazz Ensemble, and the Wind Ensemble performing. Among those songs played were Ready to Take a Chance Again, a medley from the Muppet Movie, and a Portrait of several John Lennon Paul McCartney hits. A Pre-Contest concert was given to a general audience the week before the long- awaited UIL Contest. And as April 6-7 rolled around, both the Wind Ensemble and Sym- phonic Bands were tested in concert and in sight reading. The Rebel Band wrapped up its 1 980-81 schedule with a Spring Concert on May 1 9, and with its final performace on graduation day. During the half-time show, Mark Jackson, Tammy Walls, Darla Cassidy, Tracy Walls, Ben Patterson, and Edward Nunez face towards the stands. bmillllJi! ■■■!■ I inspection is observed by ral as music uniforms and instruments are dot checked befo e_aarna.|tfnialirttl Percussion and saxophone sections slowly make their way down Congress Avenue while playing Grandioso, during the Aqua Festival Parade.

They were the Rebelettes. Behind those smiles were young, enthusi- astic dancers with great dedication to the drill team and the school. Peggy Howell, sponsor of the Rebelettes stated, It is a lot of hard work for me and the girls. Their most spectacular dances were per- formed during half time at the football games and pep rallies. The Rebelettes raised their own money to enter competitions. The energetic dancers also performed in the UT Special Events Cen- ter. They competed in the Crockett Contest and the Lone Star Drill Team Contest in San Antonio. They were honored to hostess the Girls and Boys District Track Meet Awards. A spring banquet was held in April for out- standing Rebelette awards. Howell experienced her first year as a Tra- vis drill team sponsor. She was a member of her high school drill team and a lieutenant strutter at Southwest Texas State University. She was also a member of the Theatre of Midland Dancers in Midland, Texas. I enjoy working with the Rebelettes and I ' ve always enjoyed dancing, Howell said. Joann Delgado, a Rebelette officer, said she would never forget this important part of her life. She was a Rebelette for three years, and she said it taught her a lot. It has taught her not only responsibility, but how to hold herself as well. She commented, You can really do something if you want to. To become a Rebelette, students had to show poise and balance while dancing, and also show expression and enthusiasm. Doing the splits and kicking high was a big part of all dance routines. Anything that is worth being in is worth working hard for, Howell said.

Dixie Belles New group, stepping stone into Rebelettes A new organization cheered its way into Travis this year, A pep squad, called the Dixie Belles, supported the cheerleaders and Rebe- lettes in promoting spirit for their school. The Dixie Belles attended the last three var- sity football games, basketball games, and baseball games. Our main activities are the football games, but we try to support the other sports as well, stated Cheryl Patton, pep squad sponsor. They decorated the halls and the players ' lockers on the last game of the basketball season. New officers were elected in the spring for the upcoming year. There was a recruitment for incoming Dixie Belles. Patton went to junior high schools in Austin to discuss the pep squad with girls who would be attending Travis in ninth grade. The spirited girls had a bake sale in the spring as a fund raiser. They also participated in the Fiesta. This year was Pattons ' first year as a pep squad sponsor. She was a Bellaire Belle at Bellaire High School in Houston It ' s a real good organization because it enables the girls to belong to a spirit group. It helped unify the school, Patton said. The Dixie Belles is a stepping stone for the Rebelettes. Patton said, It ' s the girls ' organization and they make it what it is. Member of the Dixie Bellei are (FIRST ROW) Debbie Moreno.

Practicing Ives ' Peppers ' perfection M m m $ ftfri ; ZjX JF | J -S 1 tes t I ki 1 How does practicing ten to fifteen hours a week grab you? This year ' s Rebel Rousers did that and much more in preparation for their job of promoting school spirit at Travis High School. While the football team was on the field practicing, the cheerleaders were elsewhere perfecting cheers. The elsewhere included many of the neigh- boring pools in South Austin, according to second-year cheerleader Beth Maloney. The girls practiced cheers daily for a month prior to a cheerleading camp that was held in Huntsville, Texas, at Sam Houston State Uni- versity during the week of July 27 to Aug. 2. Cheerleading involved much more than the dozens of hours spent on the sidelines at ath- letic events. During the season the girls practiced ten to fifteen hours a week, according to sponsor Donna Limbacher. In addition to the practice, the girls decided on which pep rally skits they wanted to work on. The varsity girls spent about $350 each for shoes, uniforms, and megaphones, according to Maloney. They also bought some six look- alike outfits that they wore at the camp, which they also paid their own ways to. The freshmen cheerleaders had to pay for uniforms and shoes which totaled about $75, said faculty sponsor Joan McShane. While qualifications for both squads were strict, the varsity ' s were harder to meet. According to McShane the girls had to have at least a C average during the school year, a physical, and recommendations from teach- ers. But the varsity girls also had to pass out a sheet to some of their former teachers to get additional recommendations for a tryout, explained Maloney. If a girl was lucky enough to get past all of this red tape, she still had to go in front of the student body to get elected. Tryouts took place in front of the entire student body for the varsity, while first-year students went in front of fellow freshmen.

One could easily identify drama students by their emerald green T-shirts, as all were involved in an effort to drum up enthusiasm for their department ' s hit production, The Wizard of Oz. Months of planning, with special attention devoted to costumes, went into the prepara- tion of this production. Sometimes, Hud- speth worked 20 hours a day on costumes alone, said Michael Caldwell. It was a tre- mendous effort and we ' d like to think the cos- tumes reflect the hard work that was poured into them. The musical version of Oz, which was presented April 30-May 2, involved the work of as many as six choreographers, and required the talents of pianist Dennis Daven- port. A few of the songs performed were If I Only Had a Heart, We ' re Off to See The Wizard, and Somewhere Over The Rain- bow. Not only was this play the major production for the year, but portions of the show were used for UIL competition held on March 28. For her performance, Debbie Gonzalez was named to the All-Star Cast, while Kathleen Lankes received honorable mention. Directing Dorothy to the yellow brick road, the good witch, played by Ann Bernal, points the way to the Emerald City.

Their first was a Night-Before Halloween show geared to thrill and chill the audience with spooks, ghouls, and monsters, A colorful set painted in fluorescent colors, combined with a white curtain and black lights, created an eerie feeli ng that added to the desired effect Put on mostly for fun, the play highlighted Jimmy Auchey as Shotgun (a spinoff from Shogun ), and Keith Rogers as the notori- ous Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde. The show was a lot of fun and the kids commented that it was a good play, said Brian Hudspeth, drama director. Based on the comic strip by Charles M. Schulz, You ' re A Good Man Charlie Brown, was presented Nov. 7-8. The play, composed ot several vignettes, featured the life experi- ences of Charlie Brown portrayed by Jimmy Auchey, and his dealings with other Peanuts characters including Lucy, who was played by Debbie Gonzalez, and Linus, portrayed by Sean MacGregor. Snoopy, however, was the show stealer as Michael Caldwell combined his wit and humor to portray the lovable house pet.

The students were chosen for the voca- tional program, but others could sign up for the regular beginning classes. General mechanics had about 1 5 students while Auto Body had 30. General Mechanics was divided into two two-hour classes, while Auto Body was split into two three-hour classes. Some students would prefer to go to the shop than their other classes, but they don ' t because they couldn ' t be in shop anymore, said Doyle Melton, teacher of General Mechanics. The Automotive classes were programmed to teach educational pre-employment skills. They not only taught the mechanical aspects, but Melton and Paul Gonzales, teacher of Auto Body, also helped the students in their required courses. The cars were worked on for the general public and rates were the cost of the parts plus 1 to 20 percent for the work on the body or engine. Though some mistakes were made, nothing too serious happened other than a student getting a little paint in his eyes. Gonzalez reminded, You learn the most from your mis- takes. There was a 1 00 percent membership in the Auto Body Shop and General Mechanics Clubs from the CVAE classes. The Auto Body Club went to district competition in late fall and later went to state competition in mid- spring. Most of the students gam employment after taking the classes, according to Melton. Some still call him for advice. Wl M 1 ' - Ik Wkm JjMk .JvfiJK a$ ¥ «jfK tB H k. • .

Distributive Education enabled students to get on-the-job experience. It was originally formed for those students who had not neces- sarily planned on college, according to Carol Koenig, DE teacher. In DE, students learned retailing as well as wholesaling and advertising. Although enrollment was down this year, teacher Bud Mathews felt that the course greatly helps the students. Some of the employers of the students say that they can pick out the students who work for them that are, or have been, in DE, said Mathews. Among the many activities during the year were DECA area and state competition, a Christmas party open house for the employ- ers and faculty, and a Free Enterprise Day. In the last few years DE has changed dras- tically according to Mathews. It used to be considered a goof-off course by students, but lately they have been taking it more serious- ly, stated Koenig. HOSA was formed for students interested in learning more than was offered in the Health Occupations classes. Sponsor Delicia Quea said that because of this course, They will be able to work more efficiently at their jobs. Throughout the course of the year, HOSA sponsored a party for an orphanage, the Youth Against Cancer drive in which they dis- tributed literature on the dangers of smoking, a trip to San Antonio, a skills contest, and par- ticipated in a skate-a-thon with the American Cancer Society. While at the DE Christmas party, Elaine Hettenhau- sen and Jane Dorman enjoy the good food. DE has an open house every Christmas.

It gives him individuality and personality. When it is good, it arises from high ideals, clean living, and clean thinking. Scholarship means a love for learning and intellectual achievement. It is the search for truth, the happy combination of wisdom and knowledge. Leadership is the ability to guide oth- ers. Constructive leadership exerts a contributing, positive influence and assumes all responsibilities involved. Service As the lighting of this candle completes the circle of light so does the willingness to serve the personality of an individual who achieves a well-rounded life . As those words were being spoken by sec- ond year members of the National Honor Society (NHS), candles were lit for the induc- tion service, representing each of the four qualities character, scholarship, leadership and service — which are held in the highest esteem by the society. After the speeches were delivered, new members were sworn in by saying a pledge and receiving a membership certificate. A reg- ister was then signed. Members, who were either juniors or sen- iors, were first nominated for NHS on the basis of a grade point average of 88. Teachers were then given a li st of eligible students. The teachers rated these students on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership and serv- ice on a scale of 1 to 1 0. The highest possible score was 130 points. During the year NHS had a breakfast and a banquet. Members also earned money by sell- ing candy to buy collars to wear with their graduation gowns. The NHS was sponsored by Paula McGee.

PELE. FHA Homemaking skills offer benefits for future Being able to gain experience useful in future careers and giving aide to the commu- nity were the biggest rewards for the students involved in Home Economics Cooperative Education (HECE), Pre-Employment Labora- tory Education (PELE) and Future Homemak- ers of America (FHA). Throughout the year the three clubs took part in both separate activities and group activities. Some of the group activities included donating cupcakes to the Travis State School in October, a skating party, and candy sales. Profits from the candy sales were used for the 2nd annual trip to Six Flags Over Texas, in April. Crockett HECE students went with them in hopes of promoting fun and fel- lowship. HECE students attended many leadership workshops throughout the year and in December they followed the HECE tradition of sponsoring a family for Christmas. They pro- vided food, a decorated tree, and even Santa Claus. In February, HECE sponsored a fund- raising assembly, challenging the faculty in volleyball. Besides attending many leadership work- shops, a major project of the PELE students was to fix up the playground at the Faith Pres- byterian Church. This was where the day care center was located that the PELE students used for their lab work. At the end of the year, both HECE and PELE held banquets for the people who had employed them throughout the year. The ban- quets were given to show appreciation to the employers for their help and cooperation.

Even though Jerry Wolverton is involved in many activities as an HECE student he still puts in time in the classroom, Wolverton finds HECE ' s purpose One thing HECE could promise a stu- dent was a busy schedule. This was clearly illustrated by the case of senior Jerry Wolverton. This was Wolverton ' s second year as an HECE student and he served as president of the city-wide HECE Council. Part of his curriculum as an HECE student was working at Jack- in-the-Box, where he worked himself up to position of manager trainee In February, Wolverton represented the city-wide HECE at the City Council Chambers for the Mayor ' s Proclamation of National Vocational Education Week. Also, during that month he and a Crock- ett HECE student represented the city- wide HECE at a breakfast with Texas Legislators at the Stephen F. Austin Hotel. Their purpose for being at the breakfast was to convince the legisla- tors of the importance of Vocational Education and hopefully receive more funds for next year.

The classes allowed students to work half-day and go to school half-day. They received course credit and pay for the time worked. Two of these classes were Vocational Opportunities Clubs of Texas (VOCT) and Industrial Cooperative Training (ICT). Both of the courses concentrated on the working relationships between the employee, employer and fellow workers. The students also did individualized work related to their specific jobs during the hour class period. I ' ve learned how to manage my money more effectively since I ' ve been in ICT. I think it ' s a good vocational program for working students, said Joe Sutherland. Some of the jobs held by VOCT students were in grocery stores, construction, fast food restaurants, and the I.R.S. Trade and techni- cal jobs involving such things as electronics, auto mechanics, and building construction were held by the students in ICT. I really have enjoyed taking ICT. I like get- ting out of school early because I like to work and make money, said Randy Garlick. Welding, which is being demonstrated by Michael Shepperd, requires a great amount of protection for the hands and face. Working at the Quality Inn at 1-35 and Oltort, Joe Sutherland is employed as a maintenance person doing fix-up jobs around the hotel. At work at Spillar Welding, ICT student Michael Shepperd uses his skill as a trained welder to design a trailer hitch.

The German club was originally formed to promote extra activities in German. The club gives an opportunity to learn more, said Sponsor Miriam Parris, who came to Travis this year. The German club again went to the annual Wurstfest in New Braunfels because Parris felt that it would be a good cultural experience for the members. Members also attended the Texas Associa- tion of German Students convention (TAGS) in Arlington in the Spring. At the convention, students participated in soccer, spelling, hik- ing, and singing. Me mbers of the German Club had to be enrolled in a German class. The French Club, with over 1 50 members, was the largest group at Travis this year. Both the number of members and the enthusiasm has increased this year, according to sponsor Charles Stewart. The club makes the members more inter- ested in learning the French culture, Stewart explained. The club participated in the AISD Language Festival, sponsored a candy sale, Midnight movie, and challenged the faculty to a volley- ball game. At the Arlington TAGS convention, Ellen Ferris.

The study of Latin on a high school level exposed students to ancient cultures and the development of modern languages Latin is studied primarily by students who wish to expand their vocabulary, be more exact and perhaps pursue professions such as law or medicine, said Latin Club Sponsor Gaylan DuBose. Latin helps in every way, said DuBose, Latin also helps raise test scores in all areas, he said. Students like to learn of ancient cultures, he said, and one way is through the language. The Latin Club attended a State convention in Rosenberg, March 6-7. The convention consisted of Classical Language and Culture contests, seminars and general meetings. During the first part of the year the club had a slave auction. The tricliniarch, master of the slaves, auctioned off first-year Latin members. Second-year Latin members did the bidding. The slaves served their masters and later played games. The club then had its tradi- tional Roman Christmas party, Saturnalia. Gifts such as candles and dolls were exchanged. Servants were then allowed to eat with their masters. The club also attended the Travis Fiesta and set up a Pandora ' s Box booth DuBose covered both English and Latin grammar, vocabulary, and literature. The club also read a lot of Latin.

When a large group of students got together and expressed a strong desire to start a Rodeo club, Special Education teacher Betty Walther organized one. The club was considerably active this year, according to the sponsor. This is the first time I have ever been around rodeos myself! I learned as the students learned, and we all worked together, said Walther. After getting off to a slow start, the action began to build in October when the club went on a field trip to the Huntsville Prison Rodeo. Students participated individually in various rodeos around town throughout the year, with the more active members working as a team. Members of the rodeo team were required to pay a small fee and attend at least five rodeos during the year. The highlight of the year was the rodeo, which Travis sponsored in April. This was the first time Travis has sponsored a rodeo. They (the club members) were so busy organi zing everything and working their chutes that they did not win much, said Walther of the rodeo. Debbie Okrina was named Travis Rodeo Queen. The club planned to have a second annual Travis High Rodeo in 1 981-82, with one major difference — next time the girls will participate in the rodeo.

Through a motion made by last year ' s council, membership in the 1 980-81 council was now decided by school-wide elections Under the supervision of Co-presidents Rosemane Amador and Jim Armentrout, council members split into committees and got the year off to a good start. Early in the year, Student Council members sponsored mum sales and the Homecoming dance. Before Christmas, the council held a Toys-for-Tots assembly. Later, during the White Christmas assembly, council members donated toys and canned food they had col- lected from advisories. The $200 profit was given to charity. February found many faculty members suprised to find they had a secret Valentine. After council members revealed their identi- ties, teachers were invited to a special Valen- tines breakfast by their secret pals. In April, the council held elections for the positions of Student Council president and vice-president. April also held state conven- tion. Accompanied by 17 council members, sponsor Paula McGee left Austin on the 23rd, returning later the next day. Applications for the trip were obtained by all interested council % « members. The students were selected by the council ' s officers. Our biggest accomplishment has been the improved student-teacher relations, stated Paula McGee, sponsor. Besides providing students with flower sales and dances, Student Council also pro- vided students with assemblies, spirit days, and a student directory The main objectives of Student Council were to provide an effective form of govern- ment for students. It ' s been a very good year because we ' ve had lots of support from stu- dents and the faculty, stated McGee.

Counseling the Council is McGee w After five years at Travis as a dean and four years as Student Council sponsor, Paula McGee has come to the conclusion: School is the life, not as others say: School prepares you for life. The Co-presidency worked quite well, but was only temporary due to desegregation, she said. There were also some constitutional changes this year in the council. While some changes had their faults, others proved successful. It ' s easier to work with 50 or 60 members instead of 160 ' drafted ' members, commented McGee, in reference to the elec tionof 10 members per grade level into the council. The council meet ings are well planned, they run on a schedule, and some turn out to be more fun than others. However, an hour of school time a month for meetings is not enough time to run a council. The council is made up of students and is for the students; I ' m not the council. My goal is to be their adviser; give them encouragement and help find them opportunities to serve the school, she added. The alcohol abuse program, SMILE, was new for the council this year, and is included in state level competition. Through her career McGee has been directly involved in student activities. I ' ve learned through the years that breaks and failures are all part of growing up; it ' s a survival game. Students in the council learn about themselves as well as others. My biggest struggle, being a dean and Student Council sponsor, is to refrain from doing things myself instead of hassling others to do them, she said.

The Pierian Club was an organization that supported the fine arts at Travis High We try to get involved in the arts, explained Sponsor Emma Kelly For example, members made posters for concerts and sold tickets for drama productions. But the Pierian magazine was the primary way the club sup- ported student fine arts. The Pierian is a literary magazine of student work, said Kelly. This was the third year for the magazine which contained poetry, prose, short story, essays, photography, cartoons, painting, drawing, and music. Work for the magazine was collected early in the school year through various literary contests. There was a staff of ten to twelve students who chose the work, according to Kelly. A creative writing class, taught by Kelly, spent some four weeks puting the magazine together in March and April. Funding for the magazine came from a Tal- ent Show, which the club sponsored. The Tal- ent Show ran two nights in the beginning of February. There were 1 7 acts that passed pri- mary audition in front of Kelly and Brian Hud- peth, drama director, who also helped in the production of the show. The judges for the show were Zoanne Bro- kaw, Niecie Chatas, and Bob Limbacher. The three winners were: Overall, Tina Moody singing New York State of Mind; Second place was the Poppers, a dance group that danced to Burn Rubber on Me; ' Third place was a solo sung by Becky Hol- comb with Could I Have This Dance? The Talent Show brought in about S400, said Kelly. The Pierian Club also participated in the May Fiesta.

I tried so hard to accept that fact, But my happiness was all an act I remember how he cried that night. That he and a neighbor boy had a fight, And how he ' d hurt the boy without meaning to, And how afraid of what his brothers would do. My son has never fought since then, Because of how hurt that boy had been. I knew my son couldn ' t kill anyone Without punishing himself for what he had done. See, I got a letter in the mail today That said my boy had gone away. There was note from him to me, Through my tears it was hard to see . . . Mom, we went into battle last night Oh God Mom, they made me fight 1 I shot a boy about my age, Suddenly Mom, I was filled with rage . . . I could hardly read the rest of the note, For my son ' s tears had smeared what he wrote. At the end of the letter he said to me, I ...

It is believed that it was Napo- leon ' s soldiers who first called the groups Mariachi Bands . But it was not until this year that a Mariachi Band class was offered for Travis students. The instruments used to pro- duce the Mariachi music are vio- lins, trumpets, and three different types of guitars. The group performed at vari- ous places throughout the city, including the Dedication of South Austin ' s Multipurpose Building, school assemblies, PTA meetings, various schools, shopping centers, and fund raising events. In March, the group held a special concert at the La Tapatia for Senator Lloyd Benson. According to Mariachi Band Sponsor, Zeke Castro, the band was a huge success, and promises to be even more so next year. The Mariachi Band made many appearances in the school At left.

The program was funded through gifted education and was a specially selected group chosen only by invitation. The FPS, sponsored by Laura Malone, attended problem solving competition in October and participated in the State Bowl on April 25 One of the problems faced by the club dealt with solar energy. To get a better idea about solar power, the members took a field trip and looked at several solar projects around Aus- tin. Malone felt the club did well its first year but she hopes it will be better organized next year. Just what is the problem solving process?

Th Vols participated in pep rallies and football games by displaying the Rebel tlag. They also sponsored a blood drive Oct. 29, and the Fiesta in May. Members were chosen according to aca- demic standing , character, and citizenship, stated Casarez. High recommendations and qualifications were needed to be in this exclu- sive club. Casarez explained the reason for such restrictions: We don ' t want a large club . . . smaller the club, the more you can do with it. This year, the club was limited to boys. Jim Armentrout, a Volunteer, said he wanted the club to be all-male club because the females already have Rebelettes. This year, the club consisted of only six members, but Casarez said that he wanted to recruit more so he would have at least 1 2 members. However, freshmen were not allowed in the club because teachers did not know freshmen well enough to recommend them, Casarez said. Leaning against the platform, Volunteer Rocco form.

The Library Club also gave students a chance to help out in the library. The club used money earned in the previ- ous year to donate two world globes to the Library. They also helped to make the Library more colorful by decorating the bulletin boards. Carol Hernandez, club president, organized a system in which members could help in the checking out of books before school. The club had a Christmas party with their previous sponsor, Karen Noyes. On April 8, members went to the LBJ Library to see an exhibit on the United States in the 1 800s. The trip was organized by Jane Kuehner, sponsor.

It is the nature of competition that for every winner there must be a loser. Although the rules of the games were sometimes different, there was always one common goal: winning. We sometimes fell short of these goals, but managed to main- tain an undying spirit which motivated us to keep trying. As we finished the gloomy football season in the district cellar, school pride was bolstered by the cross country team, which captured second place in district, and the district champion Rebel baseball team. Some sports were more popular than others, but all were equally important to the participants.

The Cougars edged Travis by a score of 14-7. In his first year as head coach of the Travis Varsity football team, Tommy Cox began and ended the season with victories. Unfortunately, those were the only two vic- tories the Rebels claimed in 1 980 as they fin- ished with a 1 -7 district record, 2-8 on the season. The Rebels opened against Del Valle, nar- rowly edging past the Cardinals 8-7. Trailing 7-0, junior Norman Nunn dashed for a 35-yard fourth quarter touchdown. Nunn also scored on the two-point conversion to provide the final margin. After the win over Del Valle, Travis lost the next four games and went into the Homecom- ing game against Crockett with a 0-3 district record Against the Cougars, the Rebels played perhaps their best game of the season. After leading through three full quarters, a late Cougar rally stymied the Rebs 14-7. Travis took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on Nunn ' s 60-yard touchdown run. The Rebel defense held Crockett scoreless until the fatal fourth quarter Travis dropped the next four games and went into the season finale against Johnston having yet to claim a district win (Continued on Page 167.)

Overall, Travis finished the season ranked seventh in the district on offense, eighth on defense Individually, Nunn, whom many conside red to be one of the best running backs in the dis- trict, led the Rebels in rushing with 61 3 yards, ranking eighth in the district, while Sam Moore led the Rebels in pass-reception yardage with 583, third best in the district.

Now in its fourth year at Travis, soccer has managed to attain a budget, land west of the tennis courts for a soccer field, and equip- ment ranging from shirts to goals. Boys ' varsity finished the season with a 4-6 won-loss record, and according to Coach Mark (Jr.) Hernandez, a little more experi- ence. Hernandez coached both the varsity and junior varsity squads. I think this year the team ' s attitude has changed for the better, and I think they ' re as good as the district champs, stated Hernandez. This past year a girls ' varsity soccer team was formed. The only other time a girls ' team was in competition was during soccer ' s first year in existence at Travis. Initial membership was low, but just as the soccer season was to peak around the corner, the team became complete. Coaches for the girls ' team were Albert Benavides (an ex-Travis soccer player), and soccer Sponsor Hope Lochridge. Making it into the first round of the AISD soccer tournament, the junior varsity ended the season with 3 wins and 4 losses. I ' m looking forward to next year because of this year ' s junior varsity. Everyone is willing to work hard, and that ' s what makes a team, stated Hernandez. Winning Honorable Men- tion for the All-District team were Varsity team members Yea Hee Lee, and Jose Torres.

The matches lost were against McCallum and Crockett High. The biggest surprise was our win over Austin High, Coach Lyn Loeffler said. The spring season was not as rewarding for the tennis players. With a 2-6 record, Loeffler explained that the major cause of the differ- ence of records was the loss of two seniors at mid-term, Denise Carnes and Natalie Gordon Despite these losses, the team has played many close matches and performed very well. My greatest expectations lie in the number one doubles team of Sherry Vandermate and Terrie Green, said Loeffler. Tournaments the girls attended included Waco, Garland, Killeen and Baytown. Virtually all the same players should be coming back next year. I expect us to be back up in the top three or four teams in the dis- trict, Loeffler said.

Next year, hopefully, we can finish 2nd or 3rd. Top players on the team, Wallace Ng and David Koch, won all but two matches all year in doubles. Loeffler said about Ng, He has consistently played well at all times. The team was the story of the near misses, said Loeffler, because of so many close matches. It could have been 6-2 instead of 4-4 in the second half, Loeffler lamented. In the first half the team had a 3-5 record, and although the record did not show it, we really were a great improvement from the fall to spring, said Loeffler. The most improved player has been Chris Kruse while the hardest worker and most inspiration came from Raymond Valdivia, said Loeffler, who has played tennis for 1 1 years.

One of their problems was that 1 players were lost to other schools due to busing, according to Coach Cynthia Hill. As a result, only one person on the JV team had previous experience at Travis. The girls had never played together as a team before. They were just a good group of kids interested in the sport, Hill said. The freshmen team members, according to Hill, had a lot of potential but needed to work more on controlling their skills. The team ended the season with a 4-1 2 record. Three freshmen played JV, which took away from the team, but I ' ve got high hopes for them in the future, Hill said.

Coach Chet Kochan added, Travis has the capability of placing at least second in dis- trict. Kochan cited Crider, David Perales, and Ed Grace as the top players consistently throughout the year. For the last two years, Ornelas has been the only girl golfer at Travis. I like playing golf with the guys. It ' s a lot moj competitive because they ' re much more serious than a bi would be, she commented. In the Waco tonal Tournament, Ornelas finished as medalist with a score of 83.

In addition to becoming the surprise team in the district for the 1 980-81 season, the Rebels also set three new school records and tied another. Travis set a school record by capturing three trophies, which they won from the tour- naments they participated in, and also set a school record for least points allowed in one game by holding the Leander Lions to only 34 points. Against Reagan, the Rebels scored a school record 90 points in a 90-84 victory over the Raiders. The 20-1 6 season record tied a school record for most victories in one season. In his view of the overall season, Coach B. J. Wolf stated. I am satisfied with our per- formance this year If someone told me we would win 20 games this season it would have been hard for me to believe. This year ' s team has been a great team. We won some close games this season and lost some close ones, Wolf added. Our strong points this season have been our defense, our five starters, and a strong bench, said Wolf. The high points of the Rebels ' season were the victories over Reagan, Lanier, and Ander- son, and the three trophies. Mike Raigosa finished the season leading Travis in assists with 1 49, while Peter Velas- quez had the best free throw percentage with a 73.1 percent average. Sylvester Kincheon led Travis in scoring with 51 points, a 1 4.0 average, and Sam Moore finished the season leading the Rebs in rebounds with 278.

It was a lack of defense, according to Coach Mia Taylor, that held them back. Taylor cited Fay Clark as being a strong defensive player who also led the team in assists. Utilizing a strong inside game, the Rebs pulled off a mild upset of LBJ. Taylor said, This victory was not as big an upset as the writers made it out to be. We just played up to our capability.

Inconsistency was a major factor in the sea- son as the freshmen faNed to play two halves of consistent basketball. Rich Hasbrouck led the Rebs in scoring with 21 points on the season, an 1 1 .0 point average, while Jose Tijerino led in rebounds. The team never quite reached their full pontential. They need to concentrate through a whole ball game, said Freshmen Coach Mike McShane. There is room for much improvement on the team, if they can play up to their potential they can be winners, McShane added. The highlights of the Rebel season, in McShane ' s opinion, were the two victories over Austin and the fact that we played most of our opponents to one or two points. The stro ng points for the Rebels were strong shooting, while a lack of speed and quickness were the team ' s weaknesses. The Junior Varsity found the going tough during the 1980-81 season, which eventually led to a disappointing 1 -24 season record. In his view of the overall season, Coach Delberi Davis stated, they played teams closer in the second half than in the first. Despite the Rebels ' losing season, Davis felt the team played up to its potential, but also added that not many of these boys have experience in basketball.

Honaker coached for 2 years at Del Valle, was an assistant at Anderson High School, and coach at Anderson College in his home state of Indiana. Though Honaker has coached numerous squads on college and high school level, he said, the kids at Travis are the best kids I ' ve ever coached. With this group I was able to have fun because we did other things besides wrestle. While the team entered 4 tournaments with only half of a squad, it finished in the top ten of each of these tourneys, and during the 20- team Anderson Invitational at Anderson, came in fourth. Coach Honaker explained that the team was in dire need of men to fill in the lower weight class of his squad. These classes include 98 lbs., 105 lbs., 1 1 2 lbs., 119 lbs., 126 lbs., 132 lbs., and 138 lbs. Although the team did not accomplish its goal of taking district, individually several team members did well. All of the Reb seniors — J. T.

Travis finished in second place, with 69 points, with Sylvia Soto and Cynthia Clark going on to compete in regionals. Soto came in first place in the 1 600 and 3200 meter runs and competed in both events at the regionals. Calrk finished in first place in the 800 meter run and competed in that event in the regionals. I ' m very proud of their effort this season. They did a great job, said Kleo Halm. Both Soto and Clark set new meet records during the season. Soto set a new record in the 3200 meter run at both the Del Valle and Kerville relays. Clark also set a new meet record in the 800 meter run at Del Valle and set new records at the Kerville relays in the 800 and 880 meter runs. Halm listed Soto and Clark as standouts on the team. The Kerville meet was maybe our best per- formance during the season. We finished in second place and two of our track team mem- bers set records there, said Halm. The Rebel girls were strong in the 800, 1 600 and 3200 meter runs. Their weakness came in the field events, where Halm pointed out that there were a lack of performers.

This new team also had a new coach, Gary Osborn. Osborn was also the boys ' gymnastics coach at Crockett. This was his second year of coaching there. I feel that there is a lot of work to do to get them up to competition level, Osborn said, but he felt that for a first year team the boys were improving fast. Osborn also said, The members are always challenging each other. On the team there were three all arounds: Garven Garcia, Mike Amaro, and Kent Cham- bers. All arounds were team members that performed on all six events: floor, pommel horse, vault, parallel bars, high bar and rings. When the boys performed, they had to show flexibility, strength, balance, and diffi- culty of moves. Flexibility was demonstrated by the splits, strength shown by presses, and balance by handstands.

The girls worked out from 7:30 in the morn- ing through first period, five days a week. Jan Vaughan has been coaching the gym- nastics team for the past nine years. I think we have a very competitive team this year, said Coach Vaughan. The varsity and junior varsity seem to have more depth and their performances are tight. Not only does it take hours of practice to be a good gymnast, but also a good attitude. Most of the girls have a good attitude or they wouldn ' t be here, said Coach Vaughan. All the experience in the world doesn ' t make a student coachable unless they have a posi- tive attitude. The girls were successful in their meets this year.

After starting district play with an 8-6 win over McCallum, Travis hit upon hard times with a five game losing streak. The cause of the slump was Joe Campos ' being ineligible to play. Also, we did not play good ball, explained Coach Rudy Alvarez A victory over Reagan snapped Travis out of its losing streak. Travis won the next nine games and captured the second half champi- onship, setting up a showdown against Anderson for the district crown. In the first game of the best of three series, J. T. Byrnes ' double in the sixth inning scored Kenneth Mann from third base for the game ' s only run, giving Travis a 1 -0 win over Ander- son. Winning pitcher David Martinez pitched well but was forced to pitch out of three bases loaded jams. Martinez also picked off runners at first and third bases. In game two, Hely Santilez ' s single in the bottom of the seventh inning scored pinch runner Sal Cabral with the winning run, giving Travis a 9-8 win over Anderson and the dis- trict title. Martinez picked up his ninth win of the sea- son. With the 26AAAAA district title now in hand, Travis advanced into bidistrict action against 25AAAAA champion Brazoswood. Travis traveled to Brazoswood, where the Buccaneers fell to the Rebs in the first game of the best of three series, 1 0-3 . The Rebels banged out 1 3 hits while David Martinez recorded his eleventh win of the season, with some late inning relief help from Joe Campos. But it was game two that will be best remembered as Travis eliminated Brazoswood from bidistrict action with a dramatic 4-3 come-from-behind win. Sam Moore drove in the tying and winning runs with a double in the bottom half of the seventh inning to send approximately 1 500 Travis fans and supporters onto the field. 202— Baseball Senior Sam Moore is thrown out at first base in a district playoff game against Ander- son.

Just recently, Voyager 1 cruised around Jupiter and Saturn taking pictures. This picture was one of the many snapshots taken November 1980, as the spacecraft approached Saturn and its sister moons revealing many suprising facts. Ramirez.

I used to see teachers walk by it and kick it when they thought nobody was looking. I even walked into the school once and thought the building was on fire because of the machine. said Hope Lochndge. According to Lochndge, Jerome Buxkem- per did not take the matter lightly He could actually be seen on his back, looking up inside it at least three times a day, she said I always had my head in the confounded thing because I was always trying to fix it. Every time I turned around it wouldn ' t work. If I ever was to lose my teaching job, I ' ll work for Xerox. I ' m an expert at the machine. Bux- kemper mused. When asked why he took on the duties of repair, Buxkemper said, Mr Allison assigned me that job. He thought I had more patience. He knew anyone else would have blown it up. The machine, which was described as sounding like a Mack truck when it was print- ing, has been at Travis for about five years and is scheduled to be replaced in the 1 981 - 1982 school year. Could you believe the Xerox people showed their faces here trying to persuade us to replace it with another. asked Laura Mal- one. I hope we get another machine, It will add five more years to my life, joked Buxkemper So what else could you say about a Xerox machine that clanked, clattered, smoked, knocked and didn ' t do practically anything but burn paper ' ' I ' d say it was a pile of junk, John Richter said Index— 221 Zamora.

An estimated 13 persons died in the flood, described by meteorologists as the most devastating in Austin since 1915, Auto dealer- ships along Lamar lost more than 500 new and used cars, most of which were either swept away or crunched beyond repair The bodies of several motorists who were swept away took days to recover Austin Mayor Carole McClellan asked Texas Gov Bill Clements to petition Presi- dent Ronald Reagan for federal disaster relief funds 222— Index UBLIC By Connie Carnline ■ ' ' -. • V ,,;,• : ' As the end of my term as co-editor of the ' 81 Roundup comes to an end, I begin to glance back over the events, both good and bad, that I have experienced in my home-away-from-home, Room 119. I now realize that things have not been as bad as they once seemed. I can clearly see that all the thousands of times we goofed up on all those rolls of film did not necessarily mean the end had come, as we once thought. I realize that all those endless days we spent working in the journalism room, after school and late into the evening, finally paid off as we began to see the final results. I remember the times we left the room almost crying after being assigned both yearbook spreads and newspaper stories, with the task of selling ads in our spare time. As the yearbook deadlines were met, and The Southerner came out on time, we were then allowed to enjoy a few minutes of glory before being slapped with more deadlines. But it was not all bad. We got our fair share of recognition. Our sponsor, Mark Yemma, kept our spirits up with some occasional parties and celebrations. The end of the year was celebrated with one final get-together, a field trip to Dallas. This trip gave us all a last chance to be together as a group and helped me appreciate what a terrific staff we have had this year. Much of the workload was relieved by the help of my co-edi- tor, Liz Ornelas. Working with Liz actually allowed me to enjoy much of the hard work that came with the job. Had it not been for the undying patience and endurance of our sponsor, we may not have made it through some of the really sticky times as well as we did. He proved that teachers can actually be vital allies. I never believed in mushy goodbyes, and therefore will not bore you with a tearful account of the perils and joys of working on the yearbook Rather, I ' d like to tell you about the terrific bunch of people in room 1 1 9 that made my job as co-editor a lot easier. Surely, being co-editor had its shares of ups and downs, fortu- nately more of the former than the latter. This is due, in part, to the attitude displayed by the crazy loons I worked with during the year. Of course, I use that term affectionately, because even though some of us were in danger of losing our sanity around deadline time, we always retained enough of our senses to keep those finished layouts coming in. I would not hesitate to compare our staffers to any other high school journalists in town. Anyone that can put out a yearbook with the number of people we had should be commended for a job well done. What we lacked in size, we surely made up for in enthusiasm and dedication. It would have been easy to put out an average yearbook, but the pride staffers showed in their work resulted in an outstanding yearbook, one that I am extremely for- tunate to have been a part of I don ' t intend to paint a rosy picture of the entire year though, because Pub was also the site of many exasperated sighs. Not everything went as planned, and frustration played its role in these difficult situations. For instance, since the graduation of last year ' s seniors, we were left with two capable photographers, and three others whose know-how was greatly outweighed by their willingness to work. With a photography staff of this size, mistakes were bound to happen, and Murphy ' s Law never quite let us forget that. Many times we went out of our way to get pictures of an event, only to have the film accidentally exposed. The awards assembly and the Junior Senior Prom are two such occasions and I sincerely apologize for not having these major events covered. However, beating heads against the wall is not a solution to the problem. Mistakes are made, and there is little to be done, when they are. I feel that special thanks are due to a few people who went out of their way to make this yearbook a special one. To Val and Margie, the editors of The Southerner, who somehow managed to finish their yearbook spreads and at the same time meet a newspaper deadline; to Jams Hergotz, who fortunately devel- oped more film than she ruined: to Connie Carnlme, my co-edi- tor, who deserved a special award for putting up with me, and lastly to my sponsor, Mark Yemma who continually amazed me with his ability to remain calm when the deadline squeeze came around. His level-headedness and patience served as a steady influence for us all. I ' d also like to express my sincere apprecia- tion to each and every person that contributed their valuable time and work towards this yearbook Putting out a yearbook has been a tremendous responsibility, but it has also been an exciting experience for me I ' ll leave Tra- vis knowing I contributed a little more than just my presence, and that makes me proud. Lastly, I ' d like to wish DeeDee Hill all the luck possible for producing the 1 982 ROUNDUP Roundup ' 81 Staff Co-editors Connie Carnline, LizOrnelas Page Editors Dee Dee Hill, Sun Hae Hur, Valerie Callaghan, Natalie Gordon, Jennifer Alexander, Margie Swanson, Tern Hoekstra, Ramona Jones, Robbi Boutwell, Danny Ferran, Jennifer Huf- nagel, Nick Martinez, Raymond Milhgan, San- dra Ray, Michelle Spencer, Harold Taylor, Norma Guerra Sportswriters. ... .

The differ ent pieces — school work, friends, teachers, and fun all added up to complete the picture of our education. The final result was gradua- tion. ■ JK I
