This year marks his forty-eighth year in that position. During his term at the original school building — which is now Ysleta Grade School — he taught mathematics and history and directed the athletics program. Ysleta High School classes began in what is now the east wing of the present structure on September 4, 1929, with Miss Helen Higgason as principal. In 1931, after serving two years as principal. Miss Higgason stepped down from the role of principal and continued her teaching career at a faculty member until her death In 1948.

At the beginning of World War II, Superintendent Hanks was called to the Pentagon and Mr. Cooper was appointed as acting superintendent for the district. After the war, Mr. Cooper was assistant superintendent until his retirement in 1962. Mr. John Yoe headed the mathematics department and was principal of Ysleta Grade School for two years prior to attaining the position of principal for YHS in 1939. Yoe received his teaching degree from the Southwest Texas State Teachers ' College and carried out his term as principal until he was called to the service in 1943. Mr. Clyde Wafer left his position as athletics and P.E. coach at El Paso . High School and came to YHS in 1 932 as coach and teacher of Social Studies.

He was promoted to the position of assistant principal at the same school until 1 962. In 1 962 he 3 took the position of principal at YHS, p,; Years where he still serves today. From Its humble beginning In a remodeled courthouse in 1 927 to the present site which was first occupied in 1929, Ysleta High School has experienced a tremendous growth. In 1930, eight students received their diplomas from the first school in the Ysleta Independent School District and the first school in Ysleta, Texas. In fifty years, enrollment has climbed to 3000 students and the curriculum program has been subjected to changes stemming from outside influences: local, national, and world. Since Its beginning half a century ago, Ysleta ' s population has witnessed and participated in major world, national, and community events, reflecting these in its growth and change. Moving rapidly through fifty years many momentous events stand out: 1927-1937 — Stock Mar- ket Crash: beginning of the Great Depression — Hitler comes to power in Germany — Drought creates Dust Bowl 1937-1947 — Beginning of World War II — Japanese attack Pearl Harbor; U.S. enters the war — Franklin D. Roosevelt elected into an unprecedented third term — War ends in Europe — Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki: Begin- ning of the Atomic Age — World War II ends 1947-1957 — Religious exer- cises in school ruled unconstitu- tional — Television in wide use — Communists gam control of China — Supreme court rules segre- gated schools unconstitutional 1957-1967 — First U.S. satel lite in orbit Ometf mm nrrn, on of th thr woman police oHicert of th« Lowor Valloy Police tubttatlon, fulllllt part of tier duly completing complaint forms.

Students witnessed the advance of Woman ' s Lib on a grand scale, the entrance of pornography and more open homosexuality, more energy crises, and the worst political scandal in American History. These drastic changes have changed lifestyles, morals, values, goals, religion, fashions and society — perhaps a bit later here — but inevitable. ,,MM||6erous senior co-eds join together to itiake a square dancing lesson fall in per- Tect timing.

Jimmy Carter and Gerald R. Ford both stopped in El Paso to deliver speeches during their cam- paign for the presidency. The economy slowed down, three million people lost their jobs temporarily, the price of produce skyrocketed, and fuel shortages shocked central and eastern portions of the country, all a result of the severe winter weather caused by sidetracking artic winds. While the northeast was gripped by tempera- tures that plunged unbelievably to 85° below zero in some places. El Pasoans felt several days of severe cold, but many were warm and filled with sunshine. Temperatures drop- ped to one below zero; although this was mild compared to temperatures in the east, it was a rarity for the desert climate. The worst thing brought to El Paso by Old Man Winter was a small boost in electric bills resulting from the increase in the price of natural gas, the fuel used by El Paso ' s elec- tric generating plant. The price of fruits and vegetables did not rise as much on the bor- der, since many were imported from Mexico, a close supply.

El Paso grew in population, necessitating more building in all parts of the city. In the east, apartment complexes and entire neighborhoods sprang out of the desert sand. Throughout the city Federal Housing Projects for the lower income families and houses of varied prices and styles gave added contrast to the city. El Paso also progressed in other areas. June of 1976 marked the completion of the 37.5 million dollar divided border highway which stretched from the business dislAt in downtown to the ever ch ging ' Hjrab ' farmland Ih th t lower valley. 1 e border highway i which skimmed the sout rn edc | of the city, provided a more efficient and safer form of transportation away from the more densely populated central portion of the city. In a joint effort to attract shoppers to downtown and also to beautify the area surrounding the Civic Center for conventioneers, city engineers and planners initiated the $300,000 El Corredor project in mid ' 76. Plans called for redesigned streets with pedestrian waiting areas at street corners to be enlarged, the placement of trees and other landscaping and clearly marked walkways. On the international scene, Tvany Iqpal businesses werfejiurt t and people lost their jobs as % , result of the q so devaluation EI Paso ' s sister city, Juarez, in Old Mexico. The peso dropped in value from eight cents in American Currency to only four cents. Despite the changes taking place. El Paso still retained its historical background and points of interest, reflecting the three cultures that make the city unique. Besides its obvious outward appearance as a busy, growing metropolitan city. El Paso is still surrounded and also has within its boundaries acres of varieties of vegetables and other staple crops, including wheat, oats and corn.

BELOW RIGHT: A farmer bales alfalfa mechanically on hli Hin the Lower Valley the distance are groves of pecans, also common to the LoiUO ' alley. Unlike the rural school life of half century ago when school meant a monotonous day of studying the basic reading, writing, and arithmetic and afterwards carrying out the responsibilities of maintaining the farm in the plush Rio Grande Valley, school today reflects the urban society of the century. No longer limited to the basics of yesterday, a student today can choose from a variety of courses that meet his individual needs and interests. Today counselors utilize computers to assign students to classes that encompass solid basic courses and electives, including arts, sociology courses, and others. Despite the obvious changes in curriculum, high school still remains as a unique period in each person ' s life. Each individual is seeking his own identity and formulating theories and ideas about himself and others: High school teaches more than just academics. In the miniature school community, leadership, recognition, honors, and an opportunity to participate in different activities have for the most part, remained the same here: Homecoming, Junior-Senior Prom, extracurricular activities, school clubs, sports, and beauty pageants, are still items that inspire excitement in the school population. During the football season, history was made in a small scale at Hutchins Stadium at an early morning pep-rally when principal, Mr. Troy Denham, surrendered his trousers to assembly managers Rick Glancey and Luis Galindo, in front of 3,000 students. Students were taken off guard and somehow accepted him as one of them at that unique occasion. . o scho LEFT: Mr. Richard Gutierrez, American Government teacher, follows the new trend of informing students of upcoming activities during his second period class.

Without the worry and tension of advanced technology dominating a multitude of various motives and actions, yesterday ' s person lived in a quieter society that stressed high morals and ideals. With the nation ' s entry into World War II, America as an isolationist came to a quick halt. There were no miracle drugs to cure diseases and the problems of drug smuggling and drug addiction were uncommon. People in general had more respect for family ties, govern- ment, laws, and regulations, and each other. Resistance, rebellion, and a feel- ing of compulsion to radically changed lifestyles, characterized OPPOSITE PAGE: Caught in a rare moment during the final minutes of the day, students pause to contemplate their tomorrow.

At the turn of the century, the youth of America participated in a cultural revolution stressing inde- pendence from the system. The impact from this revolution set the foundation for the contempo- rary society which exists. Today, a whole set of problems must be coped with: nuclear threats, rising crime rates, pollu- tion, energy crises, health threats from the environment, and politi- cal scandals. The role of the family is being undermined by changing modern views: women are taking independent roles in society and the divorce rate is at an all time high, (one out of every two mar- riages will end in divorce.) Today ' s youth lives in a society less restrictive in rules and taboos; he has the privileges of doing what he feels. Society is more tolerant and for the most part, apathetic of today ' s problems. Youth finds Itself adapting to a world in which problems will seemingly never end. He finds that new freedom entails new responsibility, new thinking, and many decisions. Looking back on yesterday, and forward to tomorrow, he some- times can find comfort and solu- tions. In this year of 1 977, we cele- brate fifty years of youth at YHS. -; ; ' •...■..■■.■, ' .

YESTEMDAY TDmDRRDUJ 13 Fifty Years 14 Fi(ty Yi;ar No longer an eight hour day, instead encompassing weekdays and weekends, student activities extended out of the regular school day routine. Homecoming, Junior-Senior Proms, Pep Rallies, Friday night games, trips. Beauty Pageants, concerts, exchange trips, were all major activities that made high school life memorable.

With temperatures rising, and the final days of school drawing closer, students began to feel restless and anxious with the months of March and April passing by. Pushing hard to make thousands of dollars, Ysleta Drum Corps paid for a journey to Disneyworld in Florida. In order to learn more about different people ' s cultures and lifestyles, the YHS student exchange journeyed to Payette, Idaho. Dance to the Music provided the theme to an annual dance recital in March. Co-ordinated by Miss Toni Attel, 94 girls performed onstage before a sell-out crowd. During the adventurous Twirp Week held in April, guys tormented women libbers by receiving free snacks and favors from them. With baseball being a top sport at Ysleta, many attended the exhausting games put forth by the freshman, B-Team and varsity teams. Varsity clinched the district title early in May.

Students made last minute efforts to clear, pass finals, and attend end-of-year banquets and assemblies. End of school marked the time for hurried studying and cramming for final exams. Confusing and often irritating situations such as these added to the excitement of post vacation days. Always in great demand, blood was generously donated by many Indians throughout the reservation. The blood drive in late May was sponsored by Lettermen and Mr. Richard Guiterrez, for the constantly needed blood of life. Ysleta led all other schools in the Ysleta School District with 1 50 pints, helping El Paso ' s blood drive in trying to collect the gift of life. In celebration of America ' s 200th Birthday, a bicentennial assembly was held in Hutchins Stadium in cooperation with Ysleta Junior High School. Special guests from central office were invited to attend the special assembly. ROTC units from Ysleta High School displayed flags from America ' s colorful 200-year history. May was a conglomeration of mixed emotions as each underclassman anticipated summer vacations and advancement in high school status the following semester. Seniors went through their last month of high school life, some reluctantly, others anxiously, as they ended their high school years and began a new way of life.

I hope. — Class of ' 76 June 3, 1976 As 1 976 graduates donned traditional cap and gown for graduation ceremonies in Hutchin ' s Stadium, they nervously looked at rapidly darkening skies and storm clouds and hoped that by virtue of some small miracle, nature would spare them from a spring rainstorm. As fate would have it, June 3 graduation ceremonies were marred by wind and rainstorms. Exercises for the evening were barely underway when the downpour began, bringing total chaos. The following scene could easily have been substituted in the movie. Earthquake, as thousands of graduates, family members, friends, and special guests scurried in different directions in order to seek refuge from the whipping storms. The exercises, as explained by Principal W. T. Denham, were to continue in the auditorium. Parents, teachers, graduates, and friends, then tried to move inside tn@m the auditorium for the remainder of the evening. Because the auditorium could only accomodate 1 ,250 people, many parents and friends did not get to witness the remainder of the ceremonies. As graduating seniors received their diplomas, they departed from the auditorium in order to leave more room for their fellow classmates. Valedictorian for the Bicentennial graduation was Jenny Sanders. Salutatorian was Mary Jo Harding. Diplomas were distributed by school board members Gil Barton, Othon Medina, and Mr. Troy Denham. At the assembly, over thirty- seven scholarships and grants were awarded. ' V . j w l.• t Striding silAitly and alone.

Summer activities were as different as the individuals. While some students travelled with their families and friends, others continued their education by enrolling in summer school. Local businesses and a variety of work programs offered students the opportunity to make some quick cash! Others made themselves self-employed by cutting lawns and doing other gardening work in their neighborhoods. Students who neither worked or went to school, found out for themselves what El Paso had to offer in the field of entertainment. Free city recreation centers sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Department offered classes in arts and crafts and recreational sports. Public parks for picnicking and sports, arcade centers, movies and drive-ins, horse riding, water skiing, bikeriding, public swimming pools, go-cart racing, bowling, roller skating, and discotheques provided outlets for restless teenagers. For the outdoors people. El Paso and vicinity offered ifishing, hunting, mountain climbing, motocross racing, and camping. Concerts by nationally famous rock groups Kiss, Hearts, Yes, and Blue Oyster Cult added flair to the summer months. All this, along with America ' s Bicentennial Celebration, made the summer of ' 76 one to remember.

In 1929, Ysleta in its new brick building, had nine teachers and • fewer than 1 00 students. August, 1976, registration saw 2,905 students through numerous forms and interviews in Clyde Wafer gym. In addition to the frosh, there were 880 sophomores, 625 juniors, and approximately 600 seniors. By the end of the first quarter, over 3, 1 1 6 students were officially enrolled.

Co-ed and aerospace classes represented changes which catered to the needs of the contemporary students. Enrollment exceeded three thousand students, and old and new students found themselves pushing and shoving down crowded halls. Freshmen faced their first year of school with the thought of having to move to the newly built junior h igh while seniors faced the ever lingering thought that their high school life was in its last year. Early days of September brought the fever of high school football back to the city. With pep rallies and Friday night games, the busy lifestyle of the average student had begun. With studying and homework, the school year was well underway. Hl 3 H K L M Mm m Wm n The pep-rally season started with a ' splat ' when assembly manager Rick Glancey received a ' token of friendship ' from team captain David Prieto.

Elected to reign was senior, Irma Najera, with Julie Briano and Tricia Savage as Princesses. Sara Sotelo was chosen as Varsity Duchess with B- team and Freshman Duchesses being Leslie Harris and Vivian Guerrero, respectively. Activities through the week of October 4-8 included a hamburger eating and pinata contests, a Volkswagen stuffing contest, and the hall decorating contest, which was won by the sophomore steering committee.

The festival featured folk, bluegrass, and Mexican mariachi band music. Mr. John Harris, ex-student of the reservation, was selected as District Teacher-of-the-Year for 1976-77. Mr. Harris was chosen by the Ysleta Teachers Association for his basic teaching abilities and dedication. He attended the University of Texas at El Paso and received his Master ' s Degree. Special guests were invited to Eastwood High School ' s Bi-District pep rally at Trooper Stadium. Ysieta ' s Varsity Cheerleading squad, along with Student Body President Adolfo Zavala, attended theassembly. All YISD high schools participated in the rally to provide spirit and support within the district. Arriving in the Sun City on his privately owned plane, the Peanut One, Jimmy Carter delivered a speech of about two hours to the people of El Paso. Jimmy Carter attracted a crowd of five thousand at the International Airport during his campaign for the presidency. The presidential nominee arrived October 8 to debate on issues such as unemployment, foreign policies and welfare distribution. The month was highlighted with Homecoming Activities.

Denham in 1 97 1 . Students stayed in the homes of their exchange partners in the small fishing community of Astoria, Oregon. The week ' s activities included tours of local natural and historical points of interest, seafood dinners, and a trip to Portland. Students delivered speeches to classroom students at Astoria High School. Escorts for the trip were Student Activities Director Enrique R. Rodriguez, and Senior class sponsors James Emerson and Barbara Hughes. During the month of November, El Paso received an unprecedented cold spell. Over a foot of snow fell on the ground and temperatures dropped below the freezing mark. On the academic scene, college bound seniors took ACT tests and the Tennis team had a dinner to celebrate their victories in the tennis competition.

Since the drinking age in Texas is eighteen years, many students enjoyed the local popular nightclubs. Just a few minutes away are some of the favorite night spots, such as the Cotton Patch, The Place, and the Gold Rush with a variety of live bands and Disco sounds. Students paying expenses by money being earned in part time jobs, and with money given to them by parents, cover charges at most nightclubs are from $1 to $10 and are considered to be expensive. El Paso ' s night life was enjoyed by many people who go to meet and hear top bands passing through El Paso from national and local circuits. Some call it fun, others call it a thriller, yet others even call it a party, whatever the name, concerts are great entertainment events. El Paso proved to be a worthy spot by bringing different bands with different music. Gordon Lightfoot, Heart, and The Eagles performed easy listening music. Other bands providing heavy sounds were Ted Nugent, Foghat, and Kiss, exploding many fans with a wild scene. With El Paso ' s population expanding, entertainment growth has also extended. While pastimes have changed, many of them have remained the same. Because of the new variety of entertainment, today ' s generation will look back and notice how they spent weekends and free time.

Twenty Drum Corps members planned to attend a camp in Wisconsin for a week in June, to practice marching, twirling, and playing techniques. After attending the camp, they planned to travel to Washington, D.C. to play for President Jimmy Carter. Raising money to attend camp and for their annual trip for 1977- 8, destination as yet unknown, was the mam activity for the year. Work projects included raffling a 1 977 Gremlin hatchback, candy apple sales, carwashes, and a skating party. Most of the funds came from the Drum Corps Booster Club, an active group of interested parents and friends. A season of practice and marching brought Drum Corps a disappointment at the regional contest, in February at the Sun Bowl. They received a ll-rating (excellent), the majority of the girls shed tears with the announcement; it was the first time in several years they had received below a I (superior). Drum Corps member. Shelly Sanders, was selected as an All- Regional and All-District Band member as a Percussion II player. Drum Corps is an old tradition at Ysleta, established in 1 936 with Mrs. Louise Bolton-Little director. The 1 936 Drum Corps consisted of SIX members with uniforms of white skirts and blouses, and maroon caps and capes. Selecting a beau, a tradition started in 1 97 1 , was carried out this year with the penny-a-vote poll, with Raymond Ennquez as the winner.

Also, today ' s world must recognize not only man ' s need for exertion but woman ' s. Whether male or female, the need and love of competition is a total factor. An individual experiences true competition when he accepts the challenge of what should be his fiercest competitor, himself. At Ysleta High, boys and girls, freshmen to seniors, dedicated themselves to their own self- expression and school unity in the categot ' y which they recognized as sport.

Head Coach John Ladner expresses his concern. As Y.H.S. took the district title both in 1 974 and 1 975, the 1 976 varsity football team had a pretty big shoe to fill. With district placement changes bringing in a new powerhouse team in the Eastwood Troopers, as the city ' s high schools were moved to compete against schools in their own district, the chances for repeating as champs became slimmer and the shoe became larger. With only four district games, the run for the title was a short one, with in all probabilities, the final holders of the title being undefeated in district play. Practice fields became the battlegrounds for new strategy as the coaches and the players prepared for the first game of the pre-season against Alamogordo High. Head Coach John Ladner ' s first pep rally spirit talk had familiar tones as he mentioned that . . . they ' re bigger than us, but everyone is bigger than us. In a later pep rally, senior Frank Mendoza spoke out for his teammates, They may be bigger in size, but we ' re always bigger in our hearts, and that ' s what counts. With the preseason about to begin, the local sports predictors, in a roundabout way, confirmed that the Indians of Ysleta did have a pretty big shoe to fill.

Mascot Eddie Gonzalez gazes upon the action. Indians aren ' t what they ' re made out to be in the wild west movies anymore. With band uni- forms, drum corps skirts, cheer- leader sweaters and football pads, not to mention the traditional headdress and deerskins, the Indi- ans of Ysleta High reflected the past and became one of a kind as they marched, cheered, and played to the sounds of a grunting determined football team whose hopes reached out to the crowd. These hopes were the structure of a team who had a unique duty. Varsity squadders stepped out with their young feet forward to their pre-season opener and received smashed toes as they found themselves on the short end 7-0, losing to Alamogordo. Stepping out with more caution and quickness, the Indians shut out the Cathedral Irish 9-0. The Irish were top contenders in state parochial high school football. With a win under their belts the Tribe defeated Jefferson 8-0 before falling to Las Cruces May- field 33-14, ranked in the top five in the state of New Mexico. In the second of the three suc- cessive New Mexico games the Indians then traveled to Clevis where they met the Wildcats; in a game of which head cheerleader Cathy Rhodes said, It was the most exciting game I ' ve ever seen; the guys tried so hard, it was so close. Headline: Clovis over Ysleta 14-8. In the last of the preseason games Las Cruces came down to Hutchins Stadium for the Tribe ' s Homecoming. After four quarters under pressure of the Homecom- ing festivities, Ysleta fell 14-6 to the Bulldogs of Las Cruces High. With 22 seniors, 16 juniors, 1 sophomore, and an average weight of 170 short pounds, the team soon found themselves leav- ing behind a 2-4 preseason win- loss record and a shoe that didn ' t quite seem to fit, yet. a C ) o ( ) c ■o o 7) Oversize season ends As district play rolled around, the varsity was faced with four games that meant taking the title or losing it, being number one or being unrecognized. In their district opener the Tribe lost to Eastwood 19-10 in a game which would later prove to be the most vital. They came back with successive wins over the Riverside Rangers and the highly favored Parkland Matadors. Final game against Bel Air was the deciding win or loss. Defeated by the Highlanders 35-6 in bliz- zard weather conditions, the Tribe lost all hopes to a co-champion- ship with the Troopers of East- wood. Ending the season with a 2-2 district mark and a 4-6 overall record, the Indians realized their chance to repeat as district champs was gone; the shoe was too big to fill. All-District honors went to five Ysleta players. First team players were Neto Diaz and Fernie Bel- monte with Frank Mendoza, Sammy Hernandez, and David Prieto picking up second team All- District honors.

Leaving many of their oppo- nents on the losing end, the B- teamers fought hard and strong to cinch the slot of district champi- ons. Combining the abilities of all the players, coaches Eloy Alvarado and Pat O ' Neill felt that most of the credit toward a successful season was the tremendous talent of the athletes. Talent was well distrib- uted among all players. A player could go in the game at any time and do a good job was Coach Alvarado ' s comment as he expressed his views towards his team. Winning their first five non-dis- trict games, the Tribe was well on their way to capturing a district crown. Beating their opponents by no less than nine points, and by a greater margin of forty-eight points, the Junior Varsity gridders rolled into district competition with an undefeated pre-season behind them. during the battle with Eastwood In the championship game played at Ysleta, Rene Zapata (70) prepares to wade off the Jlock of an Eastwood lineman. 93 B-Team Football Entering district play with an undefeated pre-season behind them, the Junior Varsity gridders were faced with the four most crucial games of the season; games which would represent A Run For The Title. B-teamers knew that it was going to be more than just a challenge. Starting district competition against arch-rival Riverside, the Junior Varsity squad was well prepared for a tough battle. Tough battle it was, as the B-team gridders just squeezed in a victory 7-0. Keeping their hopes alive with the victory over the Rangers of Riverside, the B-team Tribe hosted the Parkland Matadors. Getting things together once again, the Tribe walloped the Matadors, 27-7. Journeying to the highlands where they were to face the tough Bel Air Highlanders, the B-teamers narrowly escaped defeat, beating the Highlanders 7-6. The chance for the B-team Tribe to go undefeated and to capture a district championship was just a hair away. Feeling ready and confident to go against the Troopers of Eastwood, the Tribe was left in disappointment as they suffered a loss in a crucial game. The final score read Eastwood 20- Ysleta 0. This thus ended the season for the B-team Tribe as they lost a hard fought game, plus the lost desire to go undefeated and the opportunity for a district crown. Concerned Coach Pat O ' Nei also looks on the action. views play as Trainer Morrison Clay Anticipating the final seconds of the game, Coach Eloy Alvarado nervously viiatches the clock.

Second year coach, David Moore, and Rudy Carrasco in his third year, v fere the instructors who trained the high school rook- ies on which trails to take. Natural abilities and grade school experi- ence were the spikes which kept the frosh climbing. As pre-season started the Papoose gridders found them- selves facing five games in which to improve and perfect their cali- ber of play. The Tribe downed the Gators of Guillen before being defeated in three straight games by Ross Jr. High, Coronado T- Birds, and the Rockets of Irvin. In the last of the preseason games the Indians came back to take a win over the Jefferson Foxes. At the end of pre-season play the freshmen had witnessed and been a part of both victory and defeat. Freshman cheerleaders Sylvia Hidalgo, Dana Shackelford and Susan Perry look on as the freshman gridders leave the field. )n a fourth and long situation, freshman coaches made the deci- ion for kicker Jose Enriquez to punt the ball away. 95 Freshman Football ailing at the hands of defeat Frosh tally up 3-6 season Beginning district play with a 2- 3 preseason mark made the hill just that much steeper with only four games for the frosh to make their bid for the title. After the losses to Eastwood and Riverdale, the Freshman Tribe were in the hole that made getting the district championship improb- able. In the third district game the Tribe took a win over the Parkland Matadors, before falling at the hands of the Highlanders of Bel Air m the game which concluded dis- trict play. One district victory was not enough for the title honors, but in the process of trying the freshmen gained high school experience as they made their attempt to climb that hill which would take four years to climb.

Losing key players early in the season, the varsity was playing with only half the expected team. With these losses and a title to live up to, great pressure accompanied the 1977 schedule. Coach Hans Fields faced the tough program with optimism even after a 2- 1 2 pre-season mark. Expressing his thoughts on the season. Coach Fields said, We lost half of our team, but we still played good ball. Most of our games were so close they really hurt. Overall, though, it was an enjoyable season. The boys would have fun before and after practice but during practice it was all business. Last year ' s team won district, but I ' m even more proud of this team because of the character and self-discipline they showed as athletes and people. I could be gone for part of a workout and Stretch and Tury would take over on their own and keep things going. This was not a selfish team; everybody passed off to everybody. We came in fourth place but never at any point of the season was I ever embarrassed by this team. 1 think they carried on a tradition of good defense and ball control which will continue to be a symbol of Indian basketball.

Tribe surprises ' 76 State Champs When Eastwood came to Wafer Gym they did not expect much of a game from a team which was in a 1 -5 position in district play, but what they expected and what they got were two different stories as the Tribe took the Troopers into overtime before falling 48-45. Senior Tury The Magician Betancourt pumped in 18 points against the Troopers. In the final game of the season the Indians showed no let up as they beat Parkland at the Matador Gym. Juan Stretch Rodriguez was the only member of the Tribe to pick up All District honors.

Of the 27-game season, second year Coach Pat O ' Neill said, We started off slow, but with five freshmen, three of those starting. It ' s expected. Every game we improved and that ' s important if you want to win. Good attitudes towards the game itself helped us a lot. We played good defense, we played good offense, we )ust played good ball. Finishing the season with a 4-5 district mark, the Tribe lost to the first place Troopers of Eastwood twice. Losing by four and five points both games, the B-Team put pressure on the all-|unior Eastwood team. We didn ' t get first, but second IS a whole lot closer than third, reflected Coach O ' Neill.

Talent was lacking; the skill needed to have a fine team and a winning season. I should say we improved substantially since the girls had to be taught the basics. Although being a small team, the Bteam roundballers made up the difference with their quickness and agility to compete with other teams.

First year basketball coach Mrs. Mary Campbell led the squad of freshmen to a winning season. Compiling a nine win, seven loss record, the freshmen ran with the desire to play and the desire to win. There were many keys to the success of the tribe, many coming from the various feeder schools in the Ysleta Independent School District. Gaining experience and playing time, the freshmen played with a sound attitude, ready at all times to do the |ob they were asked to do. After the long and winning season. Coach Mary Campbell stated, Coaching these girls was really a great advantage for me. It made coaching a whole lot easier as the girls were coachable. They played together as a team should play, and I was proud of them for the attitudes they possessed in wanting to play. Besides being a sound attitude team, we were also a very talented team.

Practice sessions, dual matches, and tournaments were the preparations made by the Ysleta varsity netters before entering district competition. Practice sessions were scheduled daily from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Summer practices from 7 to 9 a.m. also gave the tennis players time to improve their shotmaking. During the summer, the top six boys and girls of Ysleta had a chance to travel to Phoenix, Arizona. Two of the tribe and one ex-Indian were rated all-southwest, a designation to denote excellence among players from Arizona, New Mexico, and El Paso. Rated number five were Brenda Bouche and Corrine Chacon. Rita Vasquez was rated number seven. Dual matches were familiar sights on the courts as the tribe faced Jefferson, Burges, UTEP and Irvin. Two victories over the Jefferson Foxes and a victory over the Burges Mustangs uplifted the tribe for their next dual match against UTEP. Losing to UTEP by an overall close score, the tribe traveled to Irvin to face a tough Rocket team.

Edmundo Valencia took a first place in the second positions while Robert Dozal took home a first place in the third position.

Girls ' varsity volleyball was full of excitement and extraordinary playing. Although the Indian girls experienced this excitement, as the excitement grew, the Indians fell. As a result, the Tribe found themselves in the district cellar m a very disappointing season. With the Indians supposed to be a faster and stronger team than in the past, the hopes for a winning season was a great expectation. One major setback which stopped the varsity netters was the lack of height. Experiencing taller opponents cut the Indians down, with relatively no height advantage on their side. Having won four matches out of twenty-three played, the spirited Indians never lost their Ysleta pride. Ysleta placed returning lettermen Anna Quinones and Cindy Acuna on all-district teams for the second consecutive year.

Rebuilding was an important factor, as Coach Allen acquired seven sophomores and four freshmen for the volleyball squad.

With a 6-6 district mark in the win-loss column, the Tribe took a third place finish and an overall record of 10-15. Leading the team in district batting averages were Mando Femath, .371; Manny Aranda, .412; Don Williamson, .522; Neto Diaz, .367; and Joe Calderon, batting .375.

High winds blew eye burning dust, and cool days created the sting of soreness. Preparation for the tough schedules in both varsity and B- team divisions was a sign that school was in its homestretch and that a group of boys were aware of the importance of basic baseball.

Between games, the basics of baseball were explored, evaluated, and practiced, practiced, and prac- ticed again. Three-hour daily work- outs consisted of repeated run- ning, hitting, and fielding during inconsistent windbanged weather. District play opened against Bel Air with the Tribe pulling the rug out as the Highlanders fell 9 to 7. With the momentum of their first district win the B-teamers defeated Riverside before accepting a frus- trating tie to Parkland. After six innings the Indian-Mat- ador game ended in a 2-2 tie. Two innings later the Tribe rallied with four runs. When the Matadors came to bat, they made an appeal to the umpire. The umpire ruled that It was too dark to play and the score would remain a 2-2 tie. Whispers of it just isn ' t fair were heard on the long bus ride home. Recovering from the blow, the team moved full ahead with suc- cessive wins over El Paso, Bowie, and Jefferson to remain unde- feated in the first round of district competition. In the second and final round of district play, the diamondmen beat Bel Air before losing to Riverside. This broke the string of wins and pressure built up. Facing Parkland for the second time, the Tribe took a win in extra innings before clos- ing down shop on Bowie and Jeff. The final contest of the spring was the makeup game against El Paso as the team took a victory in five innings with the ten-runrule to end the schedule. When he summed up the sea- son. Coach Alvarado said, we won because when we played teams that put out 100%, we put out 110.

As winter progressed during the year, snow finally fell, which changed dull cold faces to cold excited faces. jniors Danny Duran and LouAnn Jones enjoy bike riding on one of the pleasant days in larch. Leisure sports reflected students ' interests and life styles outside school, which brought relaxation, excitement, and freedom to enjoy life to its fullest. There was snow and water skiing, roller skating and hand gliding, which has now become one of America ' s favorite pastimes. Neighborhood parks provided an opportunity for people to enjoy a game of tennis, football, basketball, soccer, frisbee, baseball, volleyball, or just a place to spend a lazy afternoon. On weekends, students took advantage of El Paso ' s clear and sunny weather by riding bikes, throwing frisbees and traveling to popular known areas, such as Hueco Tanks, White Sands, Cloud Croft, and Ruidoso. 145 Outside Sports We all take pride in doing our best, and that means long hours of working toward perfection, said head varsity cheerleader Cathy Rhodes. Six o ' clock morning practice sessions were held regularly during the summer, and practice sessions continued after school throughout the year. Returning with all blue ribbons from a camp held in Lubbock, Texas, the girls sponsored a camp of their own in August for the younger girls who were interested in cheering. Profits made from this camp paid for the new sweaters and skirts purchased this year. Megaphones, all other uniforms, and any extra items were paid for by the girls themselves. Changes during the year consisted of the re newal of their constitution and the addition of a cheerleading class. Keeling that an article concerning demerits was too strict, the girls revised that section of the cheerleading constitution. Sixth period gymnastics became a requirement for all cheerleaders and served more as a cheerleading class.

No longer hamper ed by a basic fixed schedule, students were offered a wide variety of classes in the curriculum that gave them a broader educational experience than the student of fifty years ago. Counselors were forced to resort to computer technology to select the best individual placement of a student body of 3000.

This project was designed to inform the fifth grade students about the use of cattle and sheep. Members spent eight days presenting speeches and portfolios containing prices, profits, grooming, and care of these two animals in their line of farming. A field trip for the fifth graders to the school farm, located in the lower valley, ended this project. Students were able to experience the touching and feeding of some cattle and sheep at the farm. Other activities for the Ag students included work in welding, wood construction, and irrigation proc- esses. The use of large farm machinery was another skill studied and practiced by the agriculture students. Preparing for an agriculture gathering, Tina Lippert and Lynda Sills set the table.

Spring activities ended with fishing, golf, Dowling, and badminton. Working together as a group, PE I, II, and III classes entertained themselves during classtime by mixing exercise with fun. Girls ' and boys ' PE departments guided complete coeducational and fee-free programs. The Texas State Board of Education decree that schools in Texas could not collect fees for any school course, eliminated the $7.00 towel fee in PE. Mr. Vernon Butler headed Boys ' and Miss Carol Allen, Girls ' PE. Moving through numerous exercise and dance routines during the school year kept the girls enrolled in modern dance in shape for their spring recital held annually. Miss Toni Athel directed dancers.

They entered their sketches April 1 in the Young Designers Contest sponsored by the El Paso Home Builders Association. These sketches were judged by professional builders, designers, and architects, based the students ' plans on originality, livability, accuracy, neatness and construction and structural feasibility. First place winners m each school received a $25 savings bond. All first place winners competed for a sweepstakes prize scholarship from the Women ' s Auxiliary to the El Paso Association of Builders. Last year ' s first place winner was Danny Rodriguez and second place was David Bustos.

Art I students experimented with hand drawings and design; paints and pottery occupied Art II students. Graduating art students submitted portfolios of drawings, designs, and sketches to the El Paso Art Awards Show in March for scholarships ranging up to $1000. These scholarships were applied to school expenses for colleges, art schools, or to private instructors if the students wanted one. As they progress, I can see their ideas and how they put everything in place, said Mr. Holguin. Second-year art student Mando Prieto starts off with basics of pottery, and as he progresses he comes up with an original and miniature stock car. 157 Art Musicians keep Ysleta in tune Becoming a pari of a new band, (oreign exchange member Eva BentKnen (left) keeps pace with marimba band performers Shelly Sanders, and Mary Li Lopez.

The sixty-six member corps received an excel- lent (second division) rating at the annual Marching Band and Pag- eantry contest.

The enjoyment of working with today ' s music, rather than marching beats, keeps stage band together and growing, said Director David Marcum. Mr. Marcum and the stage band serve as an introduction to the high school band program for grammar students with annual performances at feeder schools. No fee had ever been charged for these performances until this year. A spring journey of competition to Texas Tech in Lubbock required some charges to be made. A challenge to successfully play hit songs of today is rough because the comparison to the original artists ' version is fresh in the listener ' s mind, but all is well worth the effort when the achievement has been made, Mr. Marcum added.

Eight hundred students enrolled in Business Education courses to gam job skills for the business world. They were also taught to keep records for personal use and for small business firms and to compute check book balances. Clerical office practice students visited the Southwest National Bank to observe working habits and conditions of the clerical force. A proposed course for the 1 977- 78 school term is a shorthand class which will be taught in Spanish; this will be an additional advantage for students since El Paso is situated so close to Mexico.

Communication, being able to communicate with others is one of the best qualities you can achieve if you vi ant to function efficiently in normal society, stated Mrs. Elaine Brink, regarding the opportunities of having speech and drama. Eighty-five students participated in the various divisions of speech and drama. These divisions consisted of informative and persuasive speech, debate, oratory, poems and prose. Solo and duet pantomime, group improvisation and communication were also part of the varied programs offered to any participant in speech and drama. Arising from speech and drama, specialty clubs were formed such as Masque and Gavel, Thespians, and Debaters who are part of the National Forensic League. Through these clubs, the students raised money by selling candy canes during Christmas and charging entry fees at tournaments, to go on several trips to Midland and Las Cruces. Oklahoma was the big production of the year, performed jointly by the choir and speech and drama departments. Lead roles were played by Mark Delgado, Kathy Coulter, Ellen Noles and Roy Chaviro.

Honors English classes, a trial and error addition to the English department, were offered in the fall for the first time at Ysleta. Outstanding English students were given the chance to enroll in an English class that required much more reading and writing work close to college level. Many students agreed to the offer. I really didn ' t know what to expect, but the class was a surprising challenge. The people in the class were all outspoken and open. There was more work, but it made me realize what college was going to be like and I am glad I took the course, commented junior honor student Danny Duran. tf% A 167 English students become ' instant parents ' Isn ' t he Cute?

The egg took the place of a real baby, and Home and Family course members were required to take care of it over the weekend for a grade. The project was designed to see what kind of parent each enrolled homemaking student could be. Out of 3 1 6 students enrolled in the homemaking classes 1 20 participated in the traditional mock weddings while others participated in other fields such as cooking and seamstress practice. Another part of the homemaking curriculum was Home Management. During one quarter of the year, home management students worked at Marion Manor Grade School. Grade School students received instructions on mouthto-mouth resuscitation, and were taught various things such as where fruit comes from and how potato chips are made. In another quarter home management students learned how to design and furnish homes. MIf.HT Wiihe Ocegueda and In-n,!.. ,1.-. ,.!,■ .„, wh.it ,,... ' ■ U pLw ' . ' xl.

In trigonometry this year, there were 27 students; last year there were only 1 2. Twenty-seven was the largest number ot students to take trigonometry since 1973. In Algebra II, there were 109 students, last year only 52. This is the largest number of students in Algebra II since 1968. Mr. Carl Griffin, Math Department Chairman, related these statistics. Why? Mr. Griffin commented, I think that there is a better counseling program that turns students in the math direction, and I think that students are finally realizing that they need knowledge in math to continue into industrial and academic work.

Biology classes explored many facts about plant life during the field trip to the local Texas A M Experimental Station. Students haven ' t really changed from about ten years ago, intellectually; they ' re favorably the same, said Social Studies Department Chairman, Mr. Weldon McBride, American History teacher. He feltthat students were more self-disciplined in learning about social studies. Communism, politics, economics and mainly nationalism are all involved in what students are learning. Discussing matters during class hours, rather than |ust using their textbooks, gives better knowledge and inspiration to students. All luniors are required to enroll in American History.

Hanks, superintendent of YISD for forty- eight years, by unveiling a portrait of him for presentation to the Ysleta Board of Trustees and YISD. Native El Pasoan, Manuel Acosta, was the artist. About five hundred persons attended the ceremony at the Sheraton Inn. Dr. Hanks has served the district since 1929. Between 1926 and 1 929 he was principal at Ysleta High School and previously taught math and history and directed the athletics program. During the first thirty years of Ysleta Independent School District ' s existence, the central office was located in the Ysleta High building, until the new building, at Valdespino was built in June of 1 957.

Unlike many urban districts, Ysleta was still growing rapidly. Contracts for three new schools and additions to two were also approved. In an effort to improve condi- tions, the school board approved maintenance repairs: new roofs, better drainage at four district schools, new chairs, and desks. The 1976-77 budget was thirty- four million dollars. Final decision for the freshmen to remain at Ysleta High School for the full 76- 77 school year was made by the school board. Board officers for 1976-77 were president, Ross Borett; vice-presi- dent, Phil Stoner; secretary. Bill Rhymes; and Mrs. Alicia Chacon, Mr. Othon Medina, Mr. Algie Felder, and Mr. Gil Batton. During Three new school contracts approved December, following a promotion that required him to move to Albu- querque, Gil Batton resigned. Mrs. Kathleen Paxson was appointed by the trustees to fill the position. Re- elections for three positions were scheduled on April 2, 1977. Sonia Galindo and Vern Kilburn served on the Student Advisory Committee. The Committee was created in 1974 in order to give students a chance to voice their opinions. 207 School Board standing Out in a Special Way Seniors Adolfo Zavala and Rachel Flores were awarded the title of Mr. and Miss YHS by all- school vote.

Organizing groups for specific duties, the officers led the class in bake sales at Wooico and K Mart, raffling off tickets to the Eagles ' Concert, the decoration of the main hall, and in a canned food drive for the needy. Working toward achievements for the Senior Class, the officers saw their goals as plans for a Sen- ior Trip, Farewell Assembly, Senior Banquet, and especially the pur- chase of the senior gift. All the pro- ceeds of fund raising for the year were used for this. Sponsoring the class were Miss Barbara Hughes, homemaking teacher; and Mr. James Emerson, math teacher. 20 Seniors Frank Acevedo Elda Acosta Gloria Acosta Manuel Acosta Norma Acosta Rosario Acosta Ruben Acosta Cindy Acuna Virginia Acuna Martha Agullar Rudy Aguinaga Jessee Agulrre Maria Agulrre Pedro Aguirre Ruben Aguirre Bethel Akers Ana Alarcon Armando Alarcon Richard Alcanlar Lydia Alonzo Hector Alvarado Maria Alvarez Aida Alvldrez Hector Alvidrez Manny Amaro Celia Amaya Ramona Anaya Randal Anderson Alicia Apod oca Robert Atkins Aurora Apodaca Oswaldo Apodaca 210 Seniors Seniors gain knowledge through EXPERIENCES Seeing the Grand Canyon in all Its splendor was experienced by members of the Lifetime Sports classes of Ysleta High in April. Pushing hard to sell Christmas wrapping, the classes earned enough money to pay their Grand Canyon traveling expenses. The classes ventured by charter bus on a five-day trip during the Easter holidays. Proving their skills in various games of shuffleboard, bowling, and tennis, seniors participated m tournaments city-wide. They gained new ideas about different subjects such as auto-mechanics, dancing and archery. Sharing good times, the seniors-only coed classes learned to communicate through friendships made in Lifetime Sports. Lalo Aragon Steve Aragon Manny Aranda John Arellano Mary E.

Tradition with Indian customs, the bonfire is built, lit, and supported by non-school affiliated clubs each year. Some location off campus in a field or desert place is approved and supervised by the Fire Department. Used to spark spirit among tribe members, the outdoor fire is the meeting place for the old and the new YHS students. Singing and dancing to the Zaragosa Brass, and just talking with close friends are some of the exciting moments connected with the annual bonfire. Drenching the fire at the end signals the close of another Homecoming week and the continuation of another year of closeness felt by kindred Indian spirits. Knowing that this bonfire is their last Homecoming ritual as students, many seniors felt a slight yearning for one more to come.

Finding time for committee activities was no easy task because most of the members were also involved in other school organizations and clubs. Why do students with full schedules even volunteer their services to an entire class? The answers were varied and differed through individual situations, but they pointed to an understanding of high school life. A student is in one or more clubs and joins the steering committee. He decorates the hall at homecoming, sells cupcakes, collects canned foods for the needy, makes class cards and streamers for the pep rallies, and attends meetings regularly. He must have wanted to do these things, or else he wouldn ' t have participated. The steering committee, in their wish to install spirit, have experienced involvement.

Reigning over the reservation as the 1 976 Homecoming Queen, senior Irma Najera and her five court attendants were presented before the student body at the traditional Honored Ex Assembly, and at the weekly pep-rally. Jesse Whittenton, prominent El Pasoan and ex-Green Bay Packer football player, was named Honored Ex during the special evening assembly October 7 in Hutchins Stadium. With homecoming days filled with events that mark many of the memories of life at YHS, seniors pushed the idea of making their last Homecoming a successful one. Striving to capture every moment before becoming true Indian Exes themselves, seniors were left with mixed emotions as the 1 976 Homecoming drew to a close. ■3ltr- Homecoming princess, Julie Briano, seriously discusses the game with escort Carlos Navar. m Grace De La AmadoDiaz Rosa Jimmy De La Rosa Mark Delgado Ricardo Delgado Teresa Delgado Delma Chavarria Christy Diaz Ernesto Diaz Robert Diaz Carmen Phil Dominguez Dominguez 217 Seniors Victor Dominguez Robert Dozal Lori Duchene Danny Duran Yoianda Duran JoeElias Carmen Enriquez Raymond Enriquez Irene Escamilla Frankie Escontrias Albert Esparza Bertha Esquivel Gino Esquivel Rita Esquivel Soledad Esquivel Rose Estrada Catherine Eveler Tommy Faulkner Xavier Felder Mando Femath GuillermoFierro Betty Fiol Socorro Figueroa Jerry Flores Maria Flores Rachel Flores Robert Flores Louis Foght Debra Foix Esieia Fonseca Mike Forti Nancy Fowler Standing tall and proud before a crowd of spirited fans to represent an Indian ' s bold customs IS the mam job of the mascot for Ysleta High.

With lour years of meaningful customs embedded in their minds, the seniors of ' 77 watched the mascot ' s participation in school ceremonies. 218 S ;riiors . Leaving their homes for one year to experience life in America while attending high school, four students from different corners of the world ventured to Ysleta. Eva Sweden, and Dietmar Mildner from Schwarzenbach an der saule. West Germany, found home in the desert southwest for the 76-77 school year.

Trying to spark the players ' enthusiasm to be at the opposing team, many persons at Ysleta were involved in the making of the pep rally. Cheerleaders chanted yells; band, drum corps, and the brass provided music, and student body members added spirited yelis to combine together to make YHS pep rallies traditionally among the strongest in the city. Hutchins Stadium reverberated with the weekly sounds, which have been observed as the most spirited among the city ' s other 1 4 public high schools. Indian rider and mascot, skits, and the familiar chant of Yea, Mr D, as Principal Troy Denham made the final speech at the closing, were popular features of the rallies. Reviewing and being a part of each weekly pep-rally since their freshman year, senior students anticipated and created their top position at the pep- rallies.

Clinging to every memory, whether good or bad, and wanting to relive some, always make a senior feel as if time moves too fast. Smiles, tears, and the laughter shared among friends during the quick four years spent at YHS will bring a special feeling to the seniors as they remember their life at school. With people always commenting that the high school years are the best of one ' s life, deep down feelings are felt and expressed while a senior awaits his turn for his name, on the roll, to be called. This, in some ways, signals the end of a special and different life to some, but the beginning of a new one.

A tradition at Ysleta is that each class has a spirit flag to fly at every pep rally. The junior flag, created by juniors in their freshman year in the traditional colors of maroon and white, had an emblem of an Indian on horseback. Every Friday, during football season, the student body went to the stadium and competed against each other, via classes, for the spirit flag. They had class yells to see who had the most spirit and also who could yell the loudest. As a prize, the winners received the spirit flag which the juniors received twice and tied once. Junior sponsors and steering committee members devoted their time during the pep rallies to raise the enthusiasm of the junior class. Methods used to promote spirit included the distribution of streamers and balloons. Commit- tee members also printed the word Juniors on large poster boards to identify the section. All this was part of their involvement with the junior class.

Cheerleaders must also know several gymnastic floor exer- cises and attend a summer camp for cheerleaders. Sharing times which signify high school life, cheerleaders joined together to become close friends. Shouting out the glory was Linda Ijcy ' s display of school spirit. 250 Juniors Martin Luna Rebecca Luna Rudy Luna Veronica Luna Becky Lundell Caroleen Luthro Terry Macias Veronica Macias Gilbert Madrid Manuela Maese Maria Maese Grace Maldonado Eddie Martinez Estella Martinez George Martinez Joseph Martinez Larry Martinez Pablo Martinez Margaret Martinez Olga Martinez Barbara Marstein Arturo Marquez Margaret Marquez Gmo Marrufo Mark McCormick Irene McCoy Patsy McCoy Marissa McFadden Theresa McKenna Zonia Medina Carolyn Medlin Liz Medrano Dolores Melendez Yolanda Melendez Gamaliel Mendez Isabel Mendez Irene Mendez Atanacio Mendoza Becky Mendoza Ernest Mendoza Patsy Mendoza Maria Merancio Sylvia Meyers Lowell Miller Randall Miller Martha Miranda Dago Montanez Juan Montanez Susie Monies 251 Juniors Wayne Monies Angie Mora Pauline Mora Gilbert Morales Manuel Morales Mike Morales Richard Morales Samuel Moreno Humberto Muela Pat Mulloy Albert Munoz Carolyn Munoz Gloria Munoz Maria Munoz Isabell Murillo Ellen Nance Doug Neely Irma hievarez Manny Nevarez Sandra Nevarez Floyd Niblet -Vt Junior Class decision maimers James Nicholopoulos Ellen Notes Reynaldo Noytes Willie Ocegueda Diane Ochoa Sylvia Ochoa Becky O ' Dell Carmen Olvera Lorenzo Otivas Shawn O ' Neal Leticia Oniiveros Esther Ordonez Charles Orrantia Estela Onega Lei icia Onega Luis Palomino Manha Parra Sally Parra Alben Parras Ka(hy Parvxis Patricia Pedrau 252 Juniors High hopes and dedication were the keys that unlocked the prob- lems of the Junior Steering Com- mittee.

Aiding Christina in leadership roles were Linda Jurado as vice- president, Rosa Barrio filling the duties of secretary and Virginia Jurado and Jesus Valtierra repre- senting the Junior Class in Student Council.

Opportunity to get class rings came to Ysleta High Juniors in December as Herff Jones and Company displayed several types of ring stones and styles. Choosing the right size and style were only a few of the problems encountered by the Juniors as they tried to order a ring that would best represent the years of their high school life. Finding individual ring style according to desired stone, and decorative marking such as the school or sports figure filled pre- cious minutes of the Juniors ' day: Minutes which marked the memo- ries of those who felt the tingle of school pride — the tingle that out- weighed the gold.

Juniors were too young to vote in the 1976 presidential elections but found ways to get into politics. Mock debates were one of the ways in which students in Mr. Wel- don McBride ' s American History classes became involved. Students from classes volunteered to debate for President Gerald Ford and then Governor Jimmy Carter. Topics debated on were similar to the top- ics on the much publicized national debates. The outcome of the classes ' debates were decided by sp ectator votes in each of the respective classes.

Not receiving the amount of attention given to them during their freshman year, sophomores experience a regretful feeling as they travel up in position to the middle of authority. Not yet upper- classmen, sophomores haven ' t achieved the special privileges that go along with being a junior or sen- ior. Being a sophomore brings new events to light such as ordering class rings, and being part of the large ma|ority of driver education students, and advanced class stu- dents. Along with gaining more demanding privileges, sopho- mores are given larger responsibil ities than what they experienced during their freshman year. Feel- ing the pressure from more demanding teachers, sophs are molded toward maturity. 258 Sophomores «::.3 Humorously participating in Steering Committee prepare skits to entertain the student txxiy, mei to perform. - mbers of the Sophomore Participation at pep-rallies became a great achievement for sophomores as they won the spirit flag consecutively.

Those who registered in HECE, VOE, DE, ICT and Ag co-op worked alike as far as wages, credits, and hours were concerned. Working half day and attending school the other half helped the students earn minimum salaries. These students presented a report on their |ob status from time to time during the period they were at school. HECE, VOE, DE, ICT and Ag Co-op students receive nine credits a year, three counted as lights and six counted as solids. Another program closely related to this job scene is the Ysleta Vocational High School. Here trainees learned everything from auto mechanics to cosmetology. Selection of these students depended on their school attendance, study and work habits, and areas of interest. These programs met a need for many who needed |ob training.

Sophs eagerly started the year by scheduling var- ious work projects; passing out balloons and streamers at pep ral- lies, sweeping stadiums, selling Christmas and Valentine grams, plus sponsoring the talent show. Hard work and late hours of dedi- cation paid off as the Class of ' 79 again captured the homecoming hall decorating contest. Sponsors were Miss Sandy Sher- wood and Mr. Arturo Oaxaca. Mr. Oaxaca resigned as sponsor to take a position in the Peace Corps as teacher at the American University in Kabul, Afghanistan. ■•I am happy, I am sad, I am antici- patory , I am hesitant, but one thing I definitely am not is sorry that I came, said Mr. Oaxaca.

M Michael lerry IP Rene Tirrei ' Manny Titcareno 1 Irene Torres let ' IT ' ride It wasn ' t the first time that the position of warrior, traditionally held by males, was challenged, but it was the first time that females won the opportunity to compete for the coveted position. Mary Lou Carillo, a sophomore who unsuccessfully attempted to tryout for the position as a freshman, was finally granted permission after a series of confrontations with the administration, which refused to grant permission to Mary Lou because of the fact that she was a female. Traditionally males have been the only ones to try out and there ' s no reason why we should change now, said one administrator. After Mary Lou ' s parents called the school board, she was granted permission to compete. The decision came after consideration of the new YISD policy. After all the arguing and debating, Mary Lou, along with Monica Tate — the first two girls to compete for the position — galloped to the beat of the Drum Corps in the presence of the entire student body and plunged the ceremonial spear to the ground, along with six male challengers. All riders encountered difficulties during the competition and after the challenge, student applause named junior Hector Vizciano as their warrior. Hector had trained and worked his horse through the paces; his was a more polished performance than his competitors. I wanted to represent the girls and ride beside the guys, not against them, said Mary Lou later. Hector admitted, I liked the idea of girls trying out. The girls did not have a chance to compete when I won the position as a freshman; now it will be harder because the student body is not used to a girl horserider.

With the threat of possible deportation from YHS to the new junior high school, the adnninistration decided against forming the freshman steering committee because :hey felt that such an organization would be non-profitable because members would not be able to plan long range activities due to lack of time, for planning and organization. The question of whether or not freshmen were going or staying prompted individual frosh to circulate petitions asking the administration to consider granting the class permission to stay the remainder of the year at the high school. Three months after school started, no official organization represented the freshman class. It was not until October that Miss Judy Johnson and Miss Kathy Lane decided to form some sort of committee to represent the class officially. Our first objective was to get some sort of leadership going for the class and steering committee, explained Miss Johnson. After Mr. Denham granted them permission to gel a steering committee started, class members who wanted to get involved joined. Formation of the Steering Committee was advertised, and although many students joined, an average of seven people became active members. Officers for t he committee were elected from among the active members and they served in that capacity on a non official basis from November until an official election was slated in late January. Committee members concentrated on raising money lor the class flag and decorating a section of the hall for homecoming. Money making projects for the year included various candy sales and participation in the spring carnival 280 r . ' ,hTT l;n YHS students observed construction on two new lunior highs. Dolores Gross What is a school? More than just mortar and bricks Eight hundred and six blank faces explored the halls and classrooms, as freshmen began their first year on the Great Reservation. Taken into the mainstream of tribal life, members of the Freshman Class were threatened with the prospect of being transferred to Ysleta Junior High. Tension and dread ceased, when it was later announced that freshmen would not be robbed of their ' Mickey Mouse ' image. The days settled into routine, while Freshmen returned to a life of books, cramming for the next test, and wondering who wrote the note that was found in the cafeteria. and Dances, sports activities, feelings of new-found independence made freshmen realize they were on their way to a different, more challenging life. Winning the spirit flag at the Homecoming pep rally, the class of 1 980 proved that they were Indians to stay.

A Freshmen work on study skills Growing accustomed to new study habits became a big chal- lenge for some of the newly enrolled freshmen. More detailed and complex assignments had to be completed as the Frosh began to adjust. Learning how to do thor- ough research papers, necessary for high school assignments, was profitable experience for those stu- dents continuing their education. In gaining their basic study tech- niques, the freshman class accom- plished one of the most difficult tasks of high school life. Aside from studying freshmen participated in many extra activi- ties such as Steering committee and Student Council. h n i !

Tying a colorful scarf at the neck, or adding new accessories to an old outfit was a popular thing to do. Several new trends included leather boots over the pants, gau- cho skirts, tailored suits for girls, vests, and the sophisticated cowl neck sweater look. In an effort to add personality to apparel by keep- ing up with the latest fashion fads, the frosh continued to grow in even another area. New trends in clothing were favored by many Ysletans including Chen Reinhart, sporting a cowl neck sweater and Rosa Acevedo, with popular boots.

This was the time when freshmen, who were big in both number and sound, came on at full volume. Winning the cov- eted Spirit Flag more than any other classification gave freshmen plenty of reason to be proud. Even seniors found it difficult to out-yell the freshmen. Realizing that group success depended on individual effort, almost every freshman did his part to promote spirit. Individual con- tributions included hand-painted signs made for the ' Glory of the Class of ' 80, ' streamers, balloons, and a steady supply of enthusi- asm. .V 7 M=lw: Vivnn Guerrero Alberto Gutierrez AnIoniB Gutierrez Cecilio Gutierrez tmrru Gutierrez Gloria Gutierrez Jewiita Gutierrez 0 car Gutierrez - ■■!

Looking back, it seems brief in time, but packed in events. Within the walls and on the surrounding grounds of a red brick building there are endless echoes from yesterday, blending with today, and reaching for tomorrow. OPPOSITE: Stiowing the boundless spirit, fifty years young, of YHS, the 1977 Drum Corps shouts for victory. Two aerial pictures (top from 1941 OTYOKWA) and bottom picture, taken by staffer Glen Harris, show some changes in the high school plant. 353 Closing Dr. J. M. Hanks A Stone building in Ysleta served as a courthouse from 1 880 to 1 884 for the county of El Paso. When the county seat was moved from Ysleta to El Paso, the building was abandoned; and years later, in 1887, the newly formed Ysleta School Board purchased the building for one- thousand dollars. The building, located where Ysleta Grade School now stands, was remodeled and turned into a schoolhouse for the rural farming community of Ysleta. From 1 920 to 1 924, twenty-five students of the 8th and 9th grade were taught by three teachers. Two additional years of high school were added in 1 926. In 1927, Ysleta was accredited high school by the state department. Mr. J. M. Hanks acted as principal from 1 926 to 1 929, and then became superintendent of the Ysleta Independent School District; this year marks his forty-eighth in that position. During his term at the original building, he taught mathematics and history and directed the athletics program. Leaving the schoolhouse in Ysleta for elementary education, the school board had a new building constructed a mile from the business district of Ysleta High School; classes began in what is now the east wing of the present structure on September 4, 1929, with Miss Helen Higgason as principal, the first and only woman principal. Born in 1868, Miss Higgason was the daughter of a Confederate officer, and was raised in Missouri, where she claimed to be a neighbor of the outlaws, the James Boys. In 1931, after serving two years as principal. Miss Higgason stepped down from the role of principal and continued her teaching career as a faculty member. She taught English from 1931 to 1943 and then became head librarian. Years later, she served as Student Counselor until her death in 1948. Miss Higgason left Ysleta after devoting 45 years of her life to the Mr. F. W. Cooper teaching profession and the shaping and molding of Ysleta High School. Mr. Forrest W. Cooper from Center, Texas, graduated from Texas A M University in 1 924 and came here to establish his permanent residence, where he became one of the Valley ' s most prosperous farmers. Mr. Cooper came to Ysleta In 1 924 as the first coach and teacher of agriculture, where he formed the first football team — the Ysleta Bears. In 1931, he succeeded Miss Higgason as principal, and by that time was serving the positions of principal, coach, and teacher. In 1 932, Mr. Clyde Wafer succeeded him as coach to help alleviate the heavy burden. By 1 939, the agriculture department had grown to such an extent that Mr. John Yoe succeeded Mr. Cooper as principal. Atthebeginningof World War II Superintendnet Hanks was called to the Pentagon and Mr. Cooper was appointed as acting superintendent of the district. After the war, Mr, Cooper filled the role of assistant superintendent for the district, until his retirement in 1962. After leaving behind many additions Mr. John Yoe to the curriculum, he left Ysleta High School after serving fifteen years — eight of which he served as principal. Mr. John Yoe headed the mathematics department, and was principal of Ysleta Grade School for two years prior to attaining the position of principal for YHS in 1 939. Yoe received his teaching degree from the Southwest Texas State Teacher ' s College and carried out his term as principal until he was called to Armed Forces in 1943. Louisiana-born Clyde Wafer graduated with a Bachelor ' s degree from Century College in Louisiana and received his Master ' s Degree from the Texas College of the Mines (now UTEP). He left his position as athletic and physical education instructor at El Paso High School and took the position of social studies and PE 354 Principals Mi  Helen Higgason Mr. Clyde Wafer teacher at YHS in 1 932. Two years later he was relieved of his classroom duties and continued as coach and PE instructor. In 1 940 he was given sole responsibility of the football, basketball and track teams, with the assistance of two students, and he produced district championship teams from all the teams. In 1 941 , the football team that he coached, played their way to the quarterfinals for the state championship. In the summer of ' 44, when Mr. Yoe had to leave his office in order to go to the service of his country, Mr. Wafer became principal and remained until 1963. During his nineteen years in office, many things were started which are now considered traditions of this school: Drum Corps and Kawliga. Ysleta High School was also the first school in the city to have seven cheerleaders. The varsity Choir was also started during his term. Mr. Wafer had an innate adeptness in dealing with stude nts from brpkej homes. With a background in sound logic and reasoning, he prevented many students from dropping out of high school. His nature was to care for others. In 1 952, Mr. Wafer was named Ysleta ' s Honored Ex. In 1963, Mr. Wafer left his position on the reservation and was appointed as assistant superintendent of YISD. In August, 1 974, Mr. Wafer retired from the assistant superintendent position, thus ending a rewarding teaching career. Eager to show their love for Mr. Wafer and their appreciation of his longtime service, the faculty, ex- students, and student body gave a down payment on a car at the Homecoming Assembly in 1963, shortly after he had been named assistant superintendent. A feather war bonnet of the Indian, mascot of the school, which he had worn at pep rallies throughout his years of service, was presented to him as an additional honor. In appreciation, Mr. Wafer remarked, Because we are friends, we are never parted. In 1966, the new gymnasium at Ysleta High School was dedicated with the following inscription: In honor of 30 years of devoted service to Ysleta High School, this gymnasium is proudly dedicated to Clyde Wafer. After retire ment, he continues with community service through the El Paso Child Guidance board, and Lions International. Principal W. T. Denham was born in Brekenridge, Texas, and attended high school in Munday, Texas, for two years, and Sand Springs, Oklahoma. He received his Bachelor ' s degree Mr. W. T. Denham from Kansas State Teacher ' s College in Pittsurg, Kansas, and his Master ' s Degree at McMurry College in Abeline, Texas. He boxed in the Golden Gloves and also played on the Kansas State Gorilla football team. After serving as principal of a high school in the Lueders School District in Jones County, Texas for one year, he was promoted to the position of superintendent of the district and served in that postiion for the next seven years. Mr. Denham moved to El Paso in 1 958 and was first employed by the Ysleta Independent School District when he took a position at Bel Air High School. He taught world history for one week and was promoted to the position of Assistant Principal, a position which he held for four years. In the 1 962 school year, Mr. Denham was appointed as principal of YHS. Since his arrival at Ysleta fifteen years ago, ' Chief Denham has continued with the traditions initiated by the Student Body and administrators before him. He has also started some new programs which are now considered to be traditional. In 1972, he started the then-dormant annual senior class trip to Disneyland, with the exception of 1 974, when the seniors went to Six Flags Over Texas. After months of correspondence with high schools in various parts of the nation, Mr. Denham created the popular Interstate Exchange Program which has been offered to every senior since its beginning in 1 97 1 ; domestic exchange students have journeyed to Wisconsin, Idaho, California, and Oregon for weekly visits. In 1973, Mr. Denham encountered difficulties such as had never been encountered by any other principal at YHS. Racial tension was evident when ten students instigated a walkout in protest of supposed prejudice in the school system. Despite the fervor caused by the walkout, Mr. Denham handled the situation calmly and logically and avoided additional trouble. Mr. Denham has always participated with students in their activities and taken a personal interest in the needs of students and faculty members. He can be seen at almost every athletic event in which Ysleta is active, social activities that include banquets, dances, meetings, and other school affiliated programs. He is also one of the few high school principals to give almost unconditional freedom to student publications. Mr. Denham has a reputation for his ability to make wise 355 Closing and sound decisions. Students of YHS have known him to become involved with them in student activities. He has participated in tug- ofwars against students, hamburger eating contests, selling of popcorn during lunch shifts, and various other homecoming and twirp week activities. At a pep rally he lost his pants as a result of a bet he made with assembly managers. Students have accepted him as one of their own because of the personal contact that he always keeps with them. At pep rallies, the student support and love for their chief is reflected in the traditional chant that students have been shouting for years: Yea, Mr. Denham! When asked about his job and the people he works with, Mr. Denham said, Every day offers a new challenge and I think this is the best high school in the whole world. During Mr. Denham ' s term in office, the enrollment of YHS has reached the all-time high of 3 1 00 students. Miss Carol Allen graduated from YHS in 1 960 and was active on the OTYOKWA Staff. She also sold ads for the POW WOW and was inducted to the Quill and Scroll Honor Society. She was also president of the Girls ' Recreation Association. Today, Miss Allen thinks that vandalism has taken the place of ■■innocent pranks. Mr. Eloy Alvaraldo graduated in 1969 and during his four years at Ysleta he was in the varsity Choir, a three year letterman in baseball and was also on the district team for three years. He was also team captain for football and made the all-district team during the three years that he was playing. Mr. Alvarado was also in the Letterman Club and received the Kawliga Sports Award.

Mrs. Theresa Guillen Contreras graduated with the class of ' 67 and during the time she was at Ysleta, she was in Indians International, ROTC, Sponsor Corps, and competed In the district drill meet. Mrs. Isldra Pineda Gatewood graduated from Ysleta In 1 96 1 and was active in Choir for one year. She feels the same about the school as far as personal loyalty is concerned, but she thinks that the loyalty of the student body today has dropped. Mrs. Patricia Conway Glancey, graduated with the Class of ' 59 and during her years in high school, she was in Varsity Choir, Orchesis, and Sock N Buskin. Mr. Alfred P. Gonzalez was a graduate of the Class of ' 69 and while in high school most of his activities dealt with FFA. He was FFA ' s Who ' s Who, and was Area II vice-president, and district and chapter president. He was on the )udging team for dairy and meat at district competitions. He also received numerous awards for his performance in FFA. Mr. John Harris graduated from Ysleta in 1 960 and was active on the baseball team and in National Honor Society. He feels that today there is respect but students are more aware of their rights, and some try to push the system. Mr. Art Howard graduated from Ysleta in 1 962 and during his high school years, he was FHA beau, captain of the varsity football team, anfl ri three year letterman.

PrnsfnIlyGotI Pro nnd Vico PrpMdcni of Santa Tereta Counlry Club 197677 358 Closing ' ' Once an Indian, always an Indian Clyde Wafer The original Ysleta High School The name of the Ysleta school system stems from the original settlement of Ysleta, which became the second oldest town in the United States and the oldest in Texas when the Tigua Indians established the first mission in the Southwest in 1 687. Records indicate that the first organized public school in Ysleta was established around 1 880 and was operated in various homes until 1 8 84, when the school board received permission from the County Commissioner ' s Court to use the courthouse at Ysleta for school purposes. (The El Paso county government was located in Ysleta from 1 87 1 to 1 883. In that year, the county government was moved to El Paso.) Renting of the courthouse continued until 1 887 when the building was purchased for $ 1 ,000 from the Commissioner ' s Court. The Ysleta School District then owned its first public school building. The building continued to be used as a school tor Ysleta until a bond issue for $17,000 was voted in 1915 for the construction of a new school building. Mrs. Louise Little Stones from the old courthouse were used for the foundation of the three-story structure which is a part of the present Ysleta Elementary School. In 1 936 Miss Louise Bolton (now Mrs. Louise Little, head of the music program for the Ysleta Independent School District) started the now famous all girl Drum Corps. According to Mrs. Little, this is how It happened: In the fall of ' 36, during the football season, we had a very small band and we didn ' t have enough people to perform halftime shows for the games because a lot of the members in the band were on the football team. Because of the shortage of band members, and also because of the fact that the band needed some sort of cadence, a general announcement was made at an assembly announcing the creation of the all-girl Drum Corps. Six girls — all of whom had some kind of acquaintance with music through piano lessons, singing lessons, etc. — tried out and made the first all girl Drum Corps (see pg. 45). Two weeks prior to the first football game of the season, the girls practiced three hours daily, five days out of the we ek. The performance of the girls at the first game brought the crowd to their feet and I think it has ever since, commented Mrs. Little. The popularity of the girls was obvious because at the first game there were only fifty or so fans m the stands. At the second game there were over 250 people present. Through the years, Drum Corps has risen in popularity and is constantly getting offers to play in different parts of the nation — they even received one from the President of the United States in 1 976. Drum Corps has performed at the Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Kentucky Derby, Disneyland, Disneyworld, Wisconsin, and Canada, to name a few. In 1 936, Mrs. Little also started the choir and the orchestra. In summarizing her experience with Drum Corps, Mrs. Little said, The years that I taught the Drum Corps and the band were the most enjoyable years of my teaching career. Ysleta ' s Indian Warrior In 1 952, the YHS student council, under the leadership of Forrest Cooper, Jr. — son of then principal Forrest Cooper — decided to create a symbol to represent our school. Student Council member Ramon Arellano — now a social studies instructor at our school, drew the original plans for symbol. The name Kawliga originated from the lyrics of a song about a wooden Indian. After student council members approved the plans, Ramon Arellano was appointed to be responsible for corresponding with Bernal Bros. woodcarvers in Juarez, Mexico. The carvers worked hastily in order to have the Indian carved in time for the graduation of the class of ' 53 but the original structure split in half as a result of the haste and because the carvers attempted to make Kawliga out of a single piece of mahogany. The second attempt to carve Kawliga was successful because it was carved out of two pieces of wood — instead of one. Today Kawliga stands boldly in the main hall and throughout the years, he has Kawliga become a ' powerful figure at our school. As tradition has it, one receives ' strength ' when the right hand is placed on his right shoulder. This tradition has become a ritual for football players before important games. In 1 970 Student Council president David Higdon introduced an idea to improve school spirit in the student body. The idea worked and it is now a very important tradition at our school and is the idea that other high schools in the districts have copied in the past. David introduced the idea of having an Indian horserider to ride around the football field with a ceremonial lance in his hand. Student Council member Carey Laurice donated the lance Preceding home football games the horserider comes out onto the field to the beat of the Drum Corps Cadence and enters the gates to the football field and in full view of all spectators, plunges the spear in the ground, thus, challenging our opponents, the way the Plains Indians did in the West. 359 Traditions During Ysleta High ' s 50tli Year the community was concerned with space for construction, conservation and history, which put the focus on I OTJR SIDE OF TOWN pf-yj iiW j . 11 eOUNniY OiUl MimTI Swimming, golf, and tennis were offered to interested El Pasoans, as the newly built Vista Hills Country Club began operating. The grazing of cattle and farm animals was a familiar scene common to the Lower Valley. f0f 0n Little known to its citizens, El Paso ' s farming industry is the oldest in the nation, and the Lower Valley area of El Paso Is an important part of the economic well-being of the area. Adjoining the Ysleta Mission was once the oldest farm in the North American continent. It ' s been in constant cultivation since 1682, until recently. Part of it is now a parking lot for the old Ysleta Mission and the Tigua Indian visitors center, with sections of it being replanted. The Tiguas of Ysleta, which is now part of El Paso, came to the Lower Valley from Isleta, New Mexico, at the time of the uprising against the Spaniards by the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico in 1680. The Tigua complex in Ysleta, near the Ysleta Mission, welcomes visitors to see bread- baking, pottery-making, silversmithmg, and weaving. Ysleta, San Elizario, and Socorro Missions are some of the most frequented historic tourist stops in the El Paso area. At San Elizario, the church faces the town plaza, and the marker near the church reveals that the famed explorer Onate reached that spot on April 20, 1 598. The Ysleta Mission contains one of the oldest altars existing in Texas. A state marker in the village of Socorro, just east of El Paso, marks the site of the Socorro Mission, which was established centuries ago in 1682. The name of the Ysleta school system stems from the original settlement of Ysleta, which became the second oldest town in the United States, and the oldest in Texas when the Tiguas established the first mission in the Southwest in 1681. Today, the Ysleta Independent School District is ninth in size in the State of Texas. Ysleta Mission, one of the oldest in Texas, thrives as a strong religious sanction to the Lower Valley. ■ ■W! f ABOVE The Tigua Indian Community dis- plays modern architectural design.

Spanish explorers were camping at the Pass of the North long before the first English- speaking colony was planted at Jamestown. Our 103-year-old city. El Paso, has a population of 367,594, with the county-wide total of 4 1 0,037 for the year 1976. El Paso ' s sister city, Juarez, boasts a population of about 467,056. El Paso is located in the lowest all-weather pass through the Rocky Mountains. Because of the location on a major transcontinental route and at the gateway to Mexico, El Paso always has counted its growth, not only in relationship to the rest of Texas, but in the scope of the Southwestern area and internationally, too. El Paso is among the nation ' s leading cities in apparel manufacture with some 60 plants employing more than 16,000 people. Due to location near mining operations, smelting and refining of metals has been a prominent industry here for many years. Petroleum refineries and a major distributor of natural gas also are important to the economy, providing major payrolls. Manufacture of building materials and food processing are growing with the city. Approximately 500 manufacturing plants are located in the El Paso- Juarez area. Receiving its authorization in 1966 by Congress, El Paso ' s own Border Highway grew out of the Chamizal Settlement that ended an 1 08-year-old dispute between the U.S. and Mexico. As a result. El Paso had to give up tax revenue producing lands in the settlement. In return. Congress agreed to build a border highway along the Rio Grande river. The cost of the Border Freeway at that time was estimated at $1 2 million, but has reached $24 million. Main locations important to El Paso ' s tourism trade are the Tigua Indian Reservation, the Lower Valley Missions, Juarez Pronaf Center and Race Track. Others include the Plaza Monumental, Sunland Park Race Track, just west of El Paso in New Mexico, the University of Texas at El Paso, the fourth ranked state university, and its Sun Bowl, and Ft. Bliss, home of the Army air defense center. The smokestacks belonging to El Paso ' s best-known smelter, ASARCO Inc., are in the area designated as a popular crossing spot for aliens who enter the U.S. illegally. White Sands Missile Range, with a payroll of $ 1 00, 1 00,032, is a major economic factor in the El Paso Southwest. The Rio Grande is the source of all-important irrigation water for farms of the area. Communities also depend on wells for water that is purified for drinking purposes. Color and pageantry of the Sun Bowl Game halftime show has achieved national recognition, and ranks with importance of the delightful Sun Parade on New Year ' s Day. A major attraction during the annual year-end Southwestern Sun Carnival is the big game in the Sun Bowl played by two top college football teams. In recent years, the games have been televised nationwide. Phelps Dodge Refinery Corp. entered the copper mining and refining industry in 1881 and 95 years later refines 25 per cent of the copper used in the U.S. and is processing plant. 362 Closing LEFT: The thirteen-mile border highway extends from Zaragosa Road to Santa Fe Street in downtown El Paso.

Such a tribal meeting was called OTYOKWA ' With 1 977 marking its 40th publication, the Ysleta High School yearbook the OTYOKWA, has remained a ma|or part of every school year, capturing its students, its major activities, and its changes through the years. The OTYOKWA has remained a top competitor of its division in the Texas High School Press Association, The Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and The National Yearbook Newspaper Association. Almost becoming a lasting tradition, the OTYOKWA reaches a top peak, annually, through its publication which receives high recognition nationally and statewide. OTYOKWA ' 76 was recognized and awarded a coveted position in state competition this year; OTYOKWA ' 76 received State Champs by the Texas High School Press Association. Holly Strain and Susan Porras co-edited the OTYOKWA for the year 1975-1 976. Developed from a soft-cover book first published in 1 937, the yearbook has reached an estimated $18,000 publishing cost and a distribution number of approximately 1 600 a year. The OTYOKWA has been advised under eight sponsors in the past forty years, with Mrs. Pearl Crouch, the present advisor, giving 1 7 years service out of the forty.

The faces of the staff are inconsistent in expressions. My thoughts run back to the beginning of the year when time meant nothing, when I really didn ' t know what to expect. I scan the room now and some are typing, some writing, some fast asleep, lost in the imagery of completion. Deadline has itself become lost. Deadline is no longer the final alloted time but it has become the word to explain why we are in this room more than we are anywhere else. I do not mean to paint such a dreary picture of our work because it deserves much more than criticism. For those of us who really cared, worked, and thrived on this yearbook, there is so much, much more. There was the comical yelling and screaming between Susan and Adolfo. There were the food breaks which filled our stomachs with indigestion and spur of the moment jokes. There was the craziness which made us keep going when continuing was unrealistic. Most important were the smiles and the laughter which seemed to be the only thing that kept us warm. My hands are cold and the pain in my head is throbbing. I know that nobody will really know how much we sacrificed in grades, social activities, and good health, but it doesn ' t matter who you are or what you ' ve done because the only jh thing that counts is what you are.

Pearl Crouch What can one say to summarize all the work and effort put forth to complete this 368-page Otyokwa. First of all, it must be understood that this is an amateur publica- tion put together by students such as you. We were responsible for accurately covering this year ' s events as they happened — the basic purpose of a yearbook. Within our staff we had enthusiasm, sin- cerity, and dedication, but there was also apathy, ignorance, and laziness. This year our staff was responsible for publishing a landmark book for Ysleta High School ' s 50th Anniversary. Under the theme of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, the staff made an attempt to accurately portray the past events on through this year ' s events by research and interviews. Providing helpful informa- tion in recovering the past were Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Wafer, Mrs. Joann Savage, Mr. W. T. Denham, Mr. Charles Caldwell, and Mrs. Pearl Crouch. While many editors thank everyone for every service rendered in the school year, we feel It is our duty as editors to thank the hard working staff members personally. The main people we would like to thank are Danny Duran, Glenn Harris, and Bobby Lara for their outstanding and major contributions. We would also like to give a special thanks to Ronnie Perez, LouAnn Jones, Kay Clubb, Gma Lupo, Becky Luna, Cathy Rhodes, Becky O ' Dell, and Miss Josie Gutierrez. We would especially like to thank our par- ents and the parents of those staffers who allowed them to work night and day in order to finish their work. Words of appreciation must also be extended to McBryde ' s Creative Photography, with whom we had the pleas- ure of working. To Mrs. Pearl Crouch, we offer our grati- tude and appreciation towards all the coun- seling and support you gave us, when we had no one else to turn to, and when no one else cared. Most of all we thank Ysleta for caring enough to have a yearbook that we know will be appreciated.

Students enrolled receive academic credit. However, most of the work necessary to produce a book of this size cannot be done in one hour a day by a small group. The yearbook of a school mirrors to a degree the kinds of educational things going on there. As in most group endeavors, there is a shortage of qualified student power to do the job adequately. A small group of work, never say die, and don ' t sacrifice quality staffers cared enough to spend every available hour to do something special for Ysleta ' s fiftieth anniversary. There are still those who care and this book is for them. The last word Volume 41 of the Ysleta High School Otyokwa is the eighteenth consecutive Ysleta yearbook to be printed by Taylor Publishing Company, 1550W. Mockingbird, Dallas, Texas. All printing was done using the offset lithography process. Cover art work was done by 1 976 YHS graduate, Rosendo Rocha, from ideas and sketches designed by Co-editor Adolfo Zavala, Jr. Colors and textures were selected by Adolfo, Co-editor Susan Dee and Mrs. Pearl Crouch, adviser. From March of 1 976 to March of 1 977, almost 10,000 frames of candid pictures have been shot by four student photographers. Approximately 7,860 (35 mm) frames and 760 (2 ' 4) frames of black and white film were taken. All black and white film was developed and printed in the school darkroom by the student photographers. About 500 color frames and 1 00 color slides were taken by the student photographers. Developing was done commercially with various companies. Color prints for the yearbook were done by Jim McBryde of McBryde ' s Creative Photography. McBryde ' s also did the portrait work for this volume, including the color senior portraits. Mam typeface for body and caption type IS News Gothic, 9 pt. for captions and 1 1 pt. for body type. Overburn and reverse captions and body type are News Gothic Bold.
