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. V. -O 368 Sialf

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.
