Santa Claus and surroundings add to the Christmas spirit at Mall St. Vincent.

A Shreve Christmas by Cara Milner

'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the school , All the students were trying not to break any 'rules .

The papers were finished and piled on the desk ; Each student hoping that he'd passed the test.

The pupils were doing what the teacher had said , While visions of the weekend clouded their heads .

Mr. Powell in his office; Mr. Horton at the mike Had just made an announcement that all did like.

When out of the parking lot , there was such a noise, 1 tore from my desk, for I thought it was boys .

Away to the windown I raced to be first. Upon looking out , with excitement I burst.

For it wasn ' t boys, so brave and so bold. It was more like a school bus painted green and gold.

From the noise that they made, I expected wild creatures, But they turned out to be eight tiny Shreve teachers!

And the little old driver let out such a holler, That I knew in a moment it was sweet Miss Me Calla

Faster than gators , the teachers , they came As she called the roll by their first names :

"Now Lee, now Judy, now Georgia and Ray, Listen Anne, you , Bob , Tommy and Gaye.

To the top of the stairwell and around through the hall ... Now hurry. Getamoveon. Dashawayya'll."

As students with spirit at a pep rally, yell, So Miss McCalla did as they rang the school bell.

To the top of the staircase the teachers did go With gradebooks full of A's and Miss McCalla also.

Then in a moment, we heard above our heads The troop of teachers that Miss McCalla led.

We heard them in the stairwell and we turned around As they slid down the banister and fell to the ground .

They all wore blue jeans, sneakers and tee-shirts , After sliding down the banister, they brushed off the dirt.

They had lots of school supplies stuffed in a bag Paper, pens, pencils , and an American flag.

She chuckled, as she watched the teachers at work , And as they finished , she said with a smirk,

"All pile on the bus; let 's go on our way, But we'll come back some other day. •

Into the bust they all did climb, As we all yelled , "See ya next time . •

And we: heard them exclam, as they drove away ... "Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year's Dayl!!"

Competency tests:a rude awakening by Layna Cook

Students who have been sleeping through school for the past nine to eleven years are in for a rude awakening beginning with the 1981-82 school year. Competency tests will be given to all students attending public schools in Louisiana, to deter­mine whether a student will be passed on to the next grade level or even graduate .

The tests, which will be given ·annually, consist of basic reading and mathematic skills and are in multiple choice form . State Superintendent for Research and Development , Dr. Hugh Peck , stated that the tests have been proven valid, reliable , and culture-free.

Students who fail the test will not be promoted ; instead they will be placed in summer remedial programs. Failing the test presents a large problem to the student. It not only means that the student is not promoted, but he may be labeled as a failure and lose his self-confidence .

Courts have ruled that graduation is a right that cannot be taken away from students. According to Peck , teachers and state officials will be forced to regard students' deserved rights , as it concerns their edu­cation.

A bill has been introduced by O' Neal for an "Academic Diploma '' to be given to graduating students who have excelled academically and a regular diploma for those who simply attended school and achieved only a minimum of what was required . The bill has not yet been accepted, but 0 ' Neal is fighting for its passage .

One reason for incompetency among students without a learning disability comes from their teachers , O' Neal said . Some inadequate teachers do not really care that their students are not learning to read and write in a satisfactory manner and therefore pass them onto the next grade level. For example, a student who has not learned

basic math in his elementary years cannot successfully under­stand algebra or any of the higher maths, stated 0 ' Neal.

Until recently , inefficient teachers have been allowed into the school system because of their teaching certificates . State ordinance prohibits the allow­ance of teachers with certificates from other states . Suppose that a school was in need of a history teacher . The choices were: a teacher who had just acquired his certificate and no classroom experience , or a renowned teacher with a masters degree from another state . By the state ordinance , the less qualified teacher would get the job .

Now it is mandatory for all teachers to take the National Teachers Exam (NTE). Rep . O'Neal favors the NTE because it is a step further to better education and el im in at ion of inadequate teachers. The teach­ers who fail the exam are put on probation .

,Trim Team' --fun way to lose extra pounds By Vicky Nettles

Have you been searching for a new , fun way to lose weight? A new program on weight control has come to Captain Shreve. It is called the Trim Team Program , and it combines diet, exercise, and behavior modification to provide a comprehensive ap­proach to weight control.

This project is designed to teach teachers and the cafeteria managers how to conduct a weight control program for CS students at school. The students who were invited by the coun­selors to join the team and their parents attended an orientation meeting December 13. The following faculty members vol­unteered to help with the program: Miss Georgia Lee , Mrs. Ruby Powell, Mrs. Evelyn Valore, Mrs. Hazel Harris, Jack Bogan and Mrs. Brenda John­son, cafeteria manager.

The teachers and cafeteria manager will attend an extension course to learn the principals of the program. Teachers meeting

Louisiana Tech 's Graduate School admission requirements will receive three hours college

credit . The classes will begin on Tuesday , Jan. 8 and will continue for 7 weeks . The Trim Team meetings for students will start the week of January 21 and continue on a weekly basis, meeting approximately one bour each week , until the week of April?. The meetings , to be held after school, will include exer­cises , nutrition and calorie intake.

The program is designed for teachers and students who are really sincere about losing weight . All participants are ex­pected to attend all Trim Team meetings. Evaluation of the pro­gram and assignments given in class will be the responsibility of the teachers and cafeteria manager . All materials needed for the team will be provided by Louisiana Tech .

Special lunch selections will be offered which wi II allow students to follow the weight reduction program at school. Assistance will be provided by the Caddo Parish Food Service Department.

College preparatory school offered What is a magnet school? The magent school is more

than just another high school with the standard curriculum. It is also the School Board's hope to attract many of the private school students back into the public school system .

To expand programs for the average and above-average students in the parish , the magnet school for academics and the performing arts is slated to open in the fall of 1980 at the old Valencia Junior High School.

Ascension Smith, former CS teacher, was named temporary principal of the school while the School Board clears up diffi­culties concerning her appoint­merit. She proposed to make the school a tough, college-prepara­tory-type high school along tra­ditional academics lines, with strong emphasis on basic skills , social studies, language, com­munications and performing arts .

A draft proposal for the magnet school boasted its design as an alternative school of choice for all Caddo Parish high school students · meeting the academic, disciplinary, and attendance requriements. Specific features include balanced racial compo­sition, advanced placement courses, internship opportunities with area professionals , commu­nity resources , non-varsity inter­scholastic and lifetime sports, discipline, ali-day study and no study halls.

The proposed entrance re­quirements would consist of a 2.5 (C plus) grade average, 95 per cent school attendance , high mo­tivation, grade level reading skills and parental support . Some exceptions will be considered by an admissions committee . To stay in the school the students must maintain a 3.0 (B) grade average in their specialty, good attendance and discipline.

Students would concentrate in the areas of English, math ,

science , general studies (foreign languages, political science and history), and performing arts.

Courses planned for the magnet school but not available at other public schools in the parish include photography, ballet, TV and radio communi­cations, Russian and Hebrew, law and responsibilities, fencing, jazz improvisation, sculpture, advanced art exploration and forestry, Simplier courses will be offered in certain required areas outside of student's specialities.

Varsity basketball and football will be excluded from school activities, although there is a possibility of having such activi­ties as tennis, golf, and swim­ming .

The school staff will begin recruiting community resources and writing goals and objectives in December , and will start recruiting students from the parish 's eight and ninth grades in January . Applications will be accepted beginning February.

2 opinion The Enterprise/December 19, 1979

CS clubs in the spirit of giving Christmas is a joyful time of the year at time for

celebration. The spirit of the season not only prevaif·s within our homes, but throughout Captain Shreve. Each month, various CS organizations render some type of service to the community. Whether it be visiting a nursing home or raising money for a charity organization . But during the Christmas season, the spirit of giving is expressed even more.

This Christmas holiday, the Z-Ciub is sponsoring a canned food drive for Sister Margaret's Christian Service Project; Octagon went caroling at the VA Hospital; Key Club will be assisting Sister Margaret in distributing canned goods and toys; and Black Studies will also be collecting canned goods, but for the KOKA drive. These are just a few of the many CS organizations which will be "giving" and rendering service to others during the holidays.

Many organizations have made some of their Christmas pro­jects an annual affair and couldn't stop, for if they did, they would be greatly missed by those they comfort by their services.

What do these ogranizations and students receive in return? A warm smile, from former saddened faces, a hearty "thank you", or a good feeling of accomplishment for being able to do something for others. They brighten up the days of many lonely elders ana less fortunate children . In general, they make the Christmas season a little happier for others.

CS organizations do many things fbr others , but are seldom re­cognized or thanked enough!.

We would like to say thank you to all Captain Shreve's organizations for the service you render to others, not just during the Christmas season , but throughout the year.

McCalla improves relations The 1979 year is drawing to a

close very soon, and there have been few changes at Shreve since the beginning of the school year. The only big change, however, being the promotions made within the administration.

Principal Sandra McCalla should be commended for the effort she has made to improve student relations at Captain Shreve. To do this, Miss McCalla invited student leaders , includ­ing service club presidents and editors of school publications, to a breakfast in the faculty dining room, to express thanks for the projects their organizations are doing to benefit others and CS.

She plans to meet with a different group of students three more times during the school year: with other club leaders; students she has seen ''to have a positive influence on the school, move about the campus in student roles, doing little things they thought no one noticed"; and with the newly-elected Student Council officers at the end of the year . This plan wi II be evaluated by those students who were invited , to see if it was worthwhile. Miss McCalla said she has received great response

from on a one to one basis . basis.

In an effort to motivate the teachers , Miss McCalla asked the PTA if they would redecorate the teacher ' s lounge. Agreeing with the plan , the PTA purchased flowers , paintings and lamps for the lounge and two fam i I ies donated carpet and a refrigerator . Miss McCalla says she hopes they_ will be getting a microwave oven soon, also. The lounge now possesses a totally new modern look a(ld hopefully a motivating atmosphere for teach­ers.

There have also been two new programs organized at Shreve, the Modern Dance group, which will be performing at every other home basketball game, and the "Trim Team".

Organization of the ''Trim Team" is not only getting the students involved, but teachers also. Other Trim Teams in the state have succeeded because of the efforts made by both the teachers and students.

We believe these assets and improvements are a step in the right direction for establishing closer student and faculty relations.

c~ ,_- ) fates

By Sarah Flowers Since the local department

stores began putting up their Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving, Grath deci­ded to do something that was unique for him-start his Christmas shopping early. He figured he wouldn't wait until the last minute (as he normally did) therefore, avoiding all the crowds . He chose a perfectly innocent Saturday on the first of December, and proceeded on his way to South Park.

His first task was to pick out some perfume for his sister. He went into the nearest store and stopped when he smelled the aroma of the perfume. He knew it had to be around there some­where, oh , yes , there it is, along with 50 other customers waiting to be helped . He made his way to the counter , picked up a bottle an sniffed ; it was too heavy . He tried another an it was even worse! If he wasn't careful he was going to . get sick! This definitely called for a woman's opinion .

" Excuse me," he called out to a salesgirl that darted past. "Be with you in a minute, " she called as she sped by the other way .

I' II be here for days he thought to himself; but true to her word, she returned . -

"May I help you now?" " Uh yeah. I ' m sort of looking

for some perfume, but don't exactly know what kind."

" Well at least you're at the right counter," she said, "that ' s always a good start . Who is the gift for? It is a Christmas gift, isn't it?"

" Un, what? Oh yeah . It's far my sister ," he replied.

" I have just the thing ." " It 's called, "Take me

Home"; it ' s our newest item and it's selling quite well!"

of grath) "I bet it is, " he said as he

breathed the lacquer-like stuff." But see it ' s for my kid sister. She 's only 13. I don't think that would be too cool. Someone would ask; "What perfume are you wearing?" And she'd say Z " TAKE ME HOME." See? I just don't think it would work. What else have you got?

" Well we have this . It's called ME. It's nice also. Here, you check it out.' '

As he took the stopper of the bottle, to get a whiff, he realized that his sense of smell was totally deadened, no doubt, from the last bottle . " Uh, your're probably not going to believe this, but uh , I can ' t smell this at all ."

She just kind-of stood there and looked at him like "Why are you wasting my time? "

"Well I can ' t , " he stated indignant ly.

"Look mister," she began sharply , " I ' ve got a lot of cus­tomers here , and I haven ' t got time to play games!" Boy she was gett ing peeved.

" I ' m not playing games !" he denied. So he wouldn ' t make her madder he said , "I ' ll take the largest bottle you've got ."

" Cash or charge?" she asked . So they made the exchange and Grath left the store feeling quite perturbed . "This is great! Not only did I buy the most expensive bottle , but I don ' t even know what the stuff smells like ! What a day! "

At that point, Grath decided to put off the rest of his shopping until another day (probably the 23rd ).

But then he stopped and said, " Hey, what's the problem? Isn't Christmas supposed to be fun? Where have I heard the line 'Tis the season to be jolly? Oh well , it sounds good anyway! ''

backtalk With the situation in Iran, do you believe that Americans will volunteer

Elizabeth Fergeson, Freshman ''A few would volunteer, but not a lot. Young people wouldn't want to fight in war because they could lose their life. They want to live. "

Barbara Beck , Junior- " Most people just wouldn ' t want to yo to war . They would probably go to Canada .·

to serve in the armed forces if called to do so?

Sharon Brown, Senior- "Most people do not believe in war. Many have had relatives to fight and would not want others. to go through what they experienced.''

Tim Bailiff, Senior- " I don ' t think they would volunteer. The draft would probably have to be reinstated. Yes, I would go if drafted just because I would feel like it was my duty (to the U.S.). "

Gigi Clark, Junior - "No, because some people are bitter about the situation in I ran-the U.S. hostages . But I would fight, if drafted. If I didn ' t , they would come after me and force me to go.''

It is wise to get knowledge and learning from every source­from a sot, a pot, a fool, a winter­mitten, or an old slipper.

--Francais Rabelais All wish to possess knowledge, but few, c;:_omparatively speaking , are willing to pay the price.

--Juvenal If you lack knowledge, what do you have? If you have know­ledge, what do you lack?

--Proverb Knowledge ... is finding out something for oneself with pain, with joy , with exultancy, with labor , and with all the little ticking , breathing moments of our li ves, until it is ours as that only is ours which is rooted in the structure of our lives. Knowledge is a potent and subtle distillation of experience , a rare liquor, and it belongs to the person who has the power to see , think, feel, taste , smell , and observe for himself, and who has a hunger for it.

age level-they might go to the school counselor then .

To many , the responses gave the impression that no one went to a counselor for consultation about a personal problem, but only for a '~school-related" problem such as rescheduling classes. However , these com­ments were made by students picked at random.

According to freshman-sopho­more counselor , Miss Inez Franz, " Students come in (here) every day with a personal problem. All they usually want is for someone to I is ten ,'' she said.

A senior student who has been to a school counselor with a

personal problem volunteered for an interview. The student said she had not previously gone to a counselor with a personal problem before this time, but that the advice given to her proved to be helpful.

After the cons'ultation , the student was told where she could receive further counseling. The student said the counselor seemed very concerned about her problem and asked her to let her know how things work out.

Not all students feel that there is a " generation gap " between them and the counselor . It may very well be the individual and the way he perceives to pursue such a situation .

Talent bank proposed for gifted students

A " talent bank " is a research project to be established at four high schools , including CS , two junior high and two elementary schools if the school board receives the needed $75,000 funds !Of the first year .

Caddo Parish School Board voted at their December 5 meeting to go ahead with a proposed " talent bank" program to start in 1980-81 according to Lola Kendrick , a school board 'itaff member .

The program will consist of outstanding students , identified by the teachers , who will continue to further their out­standing gift . Three approaches will be taken . The first will explore the interests of the students in elementary schools such as music . Junior high schools will consist of group training in different areas. In

high schools , the students will do an investigation of a real community or world problem .

The program was presented to 75 Caddo Parish schools to see how they felt about it . Any schools that wanted to partici­pate could volunteer . Of the 75 schools , only eight volunteered with Booker T . Washington to volunteer later. Overall , the program received good respon­ses from school board members and was thought to become a very sucr:essful program.

The idea for the talent bank came from a program in a high school in Arkadelphia, Ark. Dr . Lester Johnson adapted the program to work in all elementary and secondary edu­cation schools also . A similar program has been known to work elsewhere. In Mobile, Ala., a " Talents Unlimited" has proved successful in elementary schools .

This is how it has been for Nopporn Duang­

In Thailand most of the schools and universities are located in the capital city of Bangkok. School there is much like ours in some ways, accordng to Napporn. They learn our American History , take English classes when they first start school , and take p.e. classes somewhat like ours , but have no football teams. "In Thai land the game is soccer," says Nopporn.

According to Nopporn , their social life in Thailand is like ours in many ways. For instance , they wear Levi 's go· to discos , and l isten to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones .

Cults Satanic worship

thriving in America

by Buck Billings Open wide the gates of Hell!

The lower heavens beneath you, let them serve you! Govern those who govern! Cast down such a fall. Bring forth those that increase, and destroy the rotten . No place , let it remain in one nimber. Add and diminish until the stars be numbered. Arise! Move! Appear before the covenant of His mouth which He hadth sworn unto as his justice. Open the mysteries of your creation and make as partakers of the Undefiled Wisdom.

That is the closing paragraph from the Satanic Bible, written by Anton LaVey, founder and operator of the Satanic Church in San Francisco, California.

LaVey has been practicing Satanic worship since he was· 16 years old.

Most Prominent Satanic Area There is no specific area for

religious cults yet the most prominent ones in the United States according to Ken Lerchie, a teacher at Jesuit who has been studying satanic cults and rituals for about e ight years, are California, New York, and Davis

County , Florida. Lerchie said, ' 'This is due to the influx of run­aways . These places are also port cities which seems to be the big hangout for runaways.' ' When they arrive they are usually broke and need help, so when one of these cult members sees this and helps them, they usually get in­volved with the services .' ' Lerchie added , '' These cults will do anything to get members such as using alchol, drugs, and sex ."

Rituals and Beliefs According to Lerchie, Satanist

believe in God yet they think that one day Satan will overcome, therefore they have a so called head start if this does happen . "People or partakers in their rituals are usually losers in life and are looking for some sort of comfort or escape from reality '' , · he said . One of the most grotesque and controversial of these rituals is the sacrifice .

Not long ago in Bossier City a farmer ' s cattle was found dis­embowled , drained of all its blood , and a few specific organs were removed. This event was believed to be related to the

Satanic Cult , yet it was not proven . A man in California was once arrested for wreckless driving . When the officer searched him he found numerous drugs and the blanched and decayed knuckles of a human hand . This man was proved to be in the Satanic Cult and confessed to partaking in a human sacrifice . Lerchie said , "Human sacr if ices still take place, yet the trend seems to be turning more toward animal sacrifices . In these sacrifices certain parts of the animal are removed for specific reasons and the blood is oten drained completely for consum­ption by the cult members . None of these events take place in the church. They are often per­formed strictly in secluded areas where the police cannot find them. " Along w ith these sacri­fices , alchol , drugs and sex, usually play a big part.

One of the major beliefs of Satanic worsh ipers is that personal pleasures is the first thing at hand and that the actual services are later tied in with this.

Sgt. Ron Tyler sets up for a film on shoplifting in preparation an interview by journalism classes.

SIJDplifting hurts everyDne By Jerry Daugherty and

Karen Coe Mary, a 17-year-old girl , is

from a nice home and family. She gets whatever she wants from her parents . Mary is sitting in a jail cell waiting for her father to come get her . She reflects back on the past two hours of her life.

She entered a local department store with $100 in her purse, intending to buy some new clothes. She found what she wanted , looked at the price tag and almost fainted . " Thirty-five doll ars for this blouse is too much ," she thought to herself. " They won't miss just one blouse . They probab ly only paid around $10 for it anyway."

Mary put the sweater into her rather large purse and proceeded to exit the store . Just before­stepping out the door , an officer approached her asking her to come back into the store. The officer took her downtown and booked her for shoplifting. Then Mary was sitting in jail wondering what her father would do to her .

Of course the story of Mary is fictitious , but this could happen to you.

Shoplift ing was the topic of Police Sgt. Ron Tyler's recent visit to talk to Mrs . Gaye Gannon 's second hour journa­lism class .

" Shop li ft ing is an art and a challenge to catch '" said Tyl er. Man y dif ferent kinds of pe-op le shop I itt . Some very rich peop le shop lift for the challenge that is presented. Poor people account for some who shoplift ou t of

ne-cessity. Mothers and fathers also account for some of the shoplifters around the holiday season so they can give more to their children on Christmas Day . There are also kleptomaniacs who shoplift because they cannot help themselves . To them it is a sickness that can only be corrected by psychological ther­apy.

The amount of merchandise that is sto len has tripled in the last 10 years . Last year alone, the amount of merchandise stolen nationw ide totaled $4 billion.

Shop li fting hurts everyone. It hurts the owner of the business because he has to somehow rep lace the money lost from the merchandise. It hurts the small bus iness people because if a lot of merchandise is stolen , shopli fting could force them out of business . Shoplifting also hurts the person who steals not only by the severe punishment , but by having to pay higher pr ices for merchandise.

More than 50 percent of shop­li fters are women . And most shoplifters enter the store with enough money to pay for what they steal.

Punishment is hard on shoplifters-even juveniles. If a minor is caught , he is taken to the police stat ion and booked . Then his paren ts are called . After that, in some states, he can never walk away from that record. Pun ishm ent can even be a fine and tim e in jail.

" Shoplif ti ng is a crime. If you see someone shoplift, it is your duty to tell t he store manager ," Tyler said .

Haunted house shrouded in mystery By Randy Carrier

Barely Rectory, erected by Rev . Henry Dawson Ellis in 1863 is said to be the most haunted house in England. The House, built on the site of a medieval monastery , has continually been an item of controversy. I mmedi­ately as the reverend and his family moved in, footsteps and taps were heard in the night . Bells rang and voices whispered . Among the 14 children in the family , one was awakened by a slap in the face by an unseen visitor. Another awoke to find the dark figure of an old man standing by her bed, staring at her with dead eyes and then vanishing .

Sightings of phanton coaches, a headless man and a nun were continually see for more than a century . Between 1930 and 1935 the Rev. Lionel Algernon Foyster, his wife Marianne, and their daughter Adelaide took over possession of Barley Rectory . Immediately footsteps were heard , a voice called out Marianne 's name and an invisible assailant attacked her. Also at one time and unseen ghost began to write messages to her . The first said, or seemed to say , (because the messages were illegible scribblings) , " Mari-anne, Get help , to die unrepentant bothers me.''

Edwin Whitehouse, a Bene­dictive monk , visited the rectory in 1931. During this time he witnessed the baseboard of an unused room in the house catch fire . As the fire was put out , from

out of nowhere, a large chunk of flint fell to the floor . Soon after , when Whitehouse conducted an exercism in his room , he and his aunt were hit by falling stones .

In 1939 the rectory was damaged by fire . Though the only person known to be in the house that day was its new owner named Captain Gregson , a young woman was sighted in an upstairs window .

Herbet Mayes , a chaufeur , while waiting in front of the house , suddenly heard the thunder of hooves approaching him ... Cioser and closer they came, finally overtaking and passing him. Only the sounds, nothing material.

These happenings even ex­tended as late as 1961 wherin during an investigation of the site, all torches, flashlights , and headlights failed to work . Berley Rectory , st iII remains an unexplanined mystery , another strange and wonderous mind boggier .

5) Shreveport's come a long way

By Missy Falbaum They describe Shreveport as a

" City on the Grow " or " A City that Means Business", yet many years ago our city was once known for its saloons , gambling houses , and wild hotels .

In the early 1830's when Shreveport was first founded it was considered the typical frontier town . Wild conduct was punished by a fine of only $5. In fact Shreveport 's first mayor was killed in a duel with hoodlums!

Shreveport 's f irst church ser­vice did not start off as one might expect. A missionary of the Episcopal Church named Leoni­das Polk journeyed down the Red River on a steamboat. When he arrived in Shreveport he began

· making plans for a church service. The area gamblers said

they did not need or want religion in Shreveport and they made it impossible for him to rent any building for the service . Finally the owner of an un­finished store allowed Polk the use of the store but not until Polk posted a $500 bond . polk erected a table which served as an altar. Next to the hand made altar he placed his gun to serve as pro­tection against interruption.

One of the first hotels in Shreveport was Doc Jones' Hotel. Every day Doc Jones sent a carriage to meet the oncoming steamboats and brought the passengers to his hotel . Exces­sive gambling went on at Doc Jones ' HO>tel and area Shreve­porters knew that he cheated on all of his gambling. yet on one

had tried to stop the man. Finally justice caught up with Doc Jones.

An old planter came to Sherveport looking for his son, who had come to here to sell his cotton crop and had never returned. His father finally traced the boy to Doc Jones ' Hotel . The boy had been gambling with Jones when he discovered Jones had been cheating . A fight broke out between Jones and the boy which resulted in the boy 's death . Jones finally admited that he had killed the boy and had gotten rid of the body by throwing it down the cistern . When the cistern was drained , 22 bodies were found. Bodies of gamblers who had ac­cused Doc Jones of cheating .

Who says Shreveport is a boring town?

album reviews

Pink Floyd By Buck Billings

Pink Floyd has done it again in producing another exceptional album entitled "The Wall" .

Bass player Roger Waters does most of the vocalizing compared to their previous re­lease " Animals " wherein lead guitarist David Gilmore did most of the singing. On such songs as " Tear Down The Wall " and "Mother ," though , Gilmore does do the vocals .

The major theme of the album is that musicians have a wall built around them and the only way to break or tear it down is to play what the . people want to hear and to express oneself as he really is . Perhaps this could be a lesson to us all .

Crystal Gayle By Randy Carrier

On Crystal Gayle 's new re­lease , " Miss the Mississippi " , she displays her usual fling for country I pop crossovers as can be seen in her recent hit , "Don't Take Me Half The Way '' . Unfor­tunately , though, upon hearing the album and comparing it to her past releases, it begins to sound all alike, with no originality here , I 'm afraid . The question remains "Is Crystal Gayle ever going to fill her older sister Loretta Lynn 's shoes? " Decide for yourself .

The Reds By Randy Carrier

If you ' re looking for some new and different music, "The Reds" are a rather good choice. Their debut album entitled "The Reds " is a definite outstep in the music world . They take you through their lighthearted tunes such as " Luxury " and gloomy tunes such as "Lookoty " with style. The album is comprised of mainly one and two word titles and is an interesting blend of rock and new wave music. In the tune " Joey " they make very good use of this mixture and the end result is an exceptional song. Try "The Reds " -they're worth your while .

Boys having good year so far; girls steadily improving

The Captain Shreve Lady Gators are steadily improving . After several close games in­cluding a loss to Parkway "on the buzzer" , the Gatorettes posted an easy victory over the Woodlawn Knights , 50-27, thus making the girl's record 3-6.

The Shreve girls are led in scoring by Pam Johns , a junior guard, who is averaging 12.7 points a game and , according to basketball coach Alma Moore, "will continue to improve until district games roll around ." Re­turning starter Susan Goldman has taken over the center position , but lacks the height of last year 's center , Carrie Steifert. Goldman led the team in rebounding in the Woodlawn game with 15 followed by Rose Kondrat with 12.

In their 67-57 loss to Bossier , Cathy Ware played her best game yet leading the team in scoring with 16 points , followed by Goldman with 11 .

When asked how she felt about the teams progress , Moore replied , " I 'm not totally satisfied , but they have improved a whole lot. I look for more wins in the future. We will be con­tenders in the district race."

Boys winning The Gators round bailers have

gotten off to a great start. As of this writing their record is 8-3 and they have won all of their home games. Coach Boyd­stun said , " I ' m please with the way they are hustling and the good team work ."

When the Gators took on Southwood they came away a loser by a score of 60-59. Com­menting on the game Coach Boydstun replied , "We led

New Iberia wins--

by as many as 12 points in the third quarter. But we also had a bad fourth quarter. We did have chances to win the game."

The next week against Jesuit , Shreve won 67-56. The Gators grabbed 48 rebounds but shot 33 percent in attempting 83 shots . "The reason why we had so many rebounds is because we were missing a lot of shots but we were getting our own rebounds , " said Coach Boydstun . Coach Boydstun commented on fan support saying , "We need more people to come out and support the team .

The crowd realy gives the home team the home court advantage. So far , we have won all of our home games . " Already this season the Gators have equaled the total number of last Year 's team . If they keep it up they ' ll make the playoffs.

Bossier jumped out to a big lead in the first three minutes and our girl 's just couldn ' t get it together . We were never really in it. We just didn't play ball ," said Coach Moore. "We got behind in a lot of our games and made too many mistakes trying to catch up. "

Gators knocked out of season playoffs

The · victory over Woodlawn was a much needed win for the moral of the team according to Moore . " It was the best-played

Other turning members are relayers Keith Gardner and Mike Williams, milers Mark Priddy and David Risinger, and sprinter Tony Davis .

team has wound up one of their best seasons since 1973 when the unbeaten Gators won the state championship .

The Gators , which received a first-round bye, beat Fair Park to reach the quarterfinals.

It was Scott Martin ' s 25-yard field goal with 17 seconds to play that finally broke a scoreless tie and left Captain Shreve with a victory.

' 'This makes up for the Bossier game last year," said the happy Martin. " This one means more than anything ."

The kick, Scott's second opportunity after a roughing the kicker call back on the 18 four plays earlier, help put Shreve into the state quarterfinals .

In the quarterfinal against the New Iberia yellow Jackets, the Yellow Jackets must have stolen a leprechauns 's magic stick.

difference. With just over a minute left in the first half Rodney Jacquet threw a 54-yard scoring play that gave the yellow Jackets a 19-7 lead at halftime.

Shreve thought it had tied the game midway the first quarter when Ronnie Wagnon hit Lamar Johnson, the slippery receiver who caught seven in all for 118 yards , streaked down the sidelines for a 72-yard touch­down only to be called back be­cause of a holding penalty. The Gators scored one that counted when Bubba Burt rammed in from five yards to climax a 70-yard drive that started when Mike McDonald recovered a fumble .

Eric Johnson led the Shreve rushers with 39 yards.

The New Iberia coach paid the veteran Shreve mentor compli­ment when he said, "That guy over there is a hedkuva man. anytime a rookie can beat him you've done a pretty good job."

The-Enterprise/December 19, 1979 sports 7) Coaches' sports' backgrounds vary

A. Moore J. Burnam D. Boydstun "My first competive sport was basketball, everybody played basketball. That was the only sport to play . I remember my 7th grade team . The girls were so tall and big. I was short and skinny. The tall girls shot all the balls . We could only play half court then, three forwars played at one end of the court. Three guards played on the oher' end defending the opponents goal. Nobody could cross the center line," recalls Coach Moore.

Basketball has come a long way since then and so has the Captain Shreve girls basketball team under the direction of Coach Alma Moore, who took over the position after the death of former Coach Renel Moore . Coach Moore attended Princeton High Schol where she learned the basic fundamentals from her high school coach . "He was the one who helped me appreciate sports , develop good sportsman­ship , and understand the importance of learning the correct funda­mentals before attempting to play anything by the rules . When I was a tenth grader I was a starting varsity guard . My job was play­maker . I was responsible for running the plays and moving the ball . Coach Moore 's favorite sport is basketball . She also enjoys running and playing softball. But according to Moore, "Somewhere in life you realize you can't do things as well as you once did. " Maybe Mrs. Moore isn 't the athlete she once was but she sure is a good coach .!

Wrestlers off to slow start

The Captain Shreve wrestling team has had a disappointing season so far. The Gator wrestlers have lost all four

· matches competed in this season. But according to wrestl ­ing coach James Brown, these losses are due to a lack of ·experience on the part of the team. "We are the newest team in the area- we lack the experience of other teams. Bossier schools have been participating tor several yers. "

The team, led by Eric Horton, Todd Wolfram and Danny Holmes, who each won their individual matches against Wassman, are gaining experience and improving at the same time.

"Wassman has been wrestl ­ing for quite a long time and a lays have a strong team," says Coach Brown , "I am please with the team's progress. As the sport expericnes more success , we hope to gain more popularity and support in the school and community. We always stirve for improvement and expect to have great success next year ." Senior Guard Neal Carter has

improved treatly over last year.

Racquetball--sport for everyone by Nancy Futrell

Two players enter a white handball court carrying a racquet that look like the broken rem­nants of a tennis tantrum , strings intact , but handles only a few inches long. They warm up , whacking a black rubber ball that rebounds off two , even three walls before hitting the floor. A spectator assessing the scene. through a Plexiglass window notes that knee pads of one player and predicts knowlingly " She 's a diver. " Bruises the size of coffee cups cover the arms and legs of the other players, and as the ball streaks like a comet through this small galaxy , it's not hard to guess where they came from .

The sport is racquetball-step­child to handball , cousin to tennis and paddleball. No one knows if it was a tennis player who sawed oft a racquet and went indoors , or a handball player with blisters who invented the game. But racquetball ' s populatity quiets any objections to the game's pedigree .

Similar to squash and platform tennis , where four wall/screens come into play , racquetball also incorporates play off the 20 foot ceiling, hitting oft the front wall means there are no service lines or baselines to contend with. Rac­quetball racquets can be found in anyone of there shapes-tear­drops , modified rectangular , and

seems to stem from the facts that anyone can play without lessons on how to hit a forehand or backhand and you need only to keep in mind that the ball must always hit the front wall.

Another allur ing aspect is the non-regimentation of strokes . Sure, it would be great to always bend your knees and get down to the ball , but this frequently is impossible , given the many angles to be confronted and the ball 's rate of speed , many times you can only swing and pray.

Whatever the reason , racquet­ball ' s popularity has boomed and shows no signs of stopping . Racquetball seems to be taking the same route tennis took 10 years ago-straight to the top .

Senior looks toward career in aviation by Sandra Atchley

Captain Shreve, in its past history, has produced many students with a variety of interests. And this year is no exception .

In October of 1979, senior Fred Pruitt from CS, received his pilot ' s license from Shreveport Aviation .

In his past years Pruitt had always been interested in fly ing and at one time worked for the Civil Air Patro l.

He enjoys flying and plans to make aviation his career. In order to do this , he wants to enroll in Louisiana Tech for av iation classes .

" One of the first th ings you must do to become a l icensed

Dina Bennett--

pilot, " says Pruitt , " is to choose your flight i nstructor. The instructor is a very important part of training. " According to Pruitt, they need to be a good teacher and understanding. But most of all , have pat ience . " If you have an instructor who yells at you , you aren ' t going to learn anything ."

Another important step in training is your solo cross­country f li gh t. This flight is req uired to be one-hundred m iles long. A total of 10 hours is also requ ired . Pruitt flew from Shreveport to Texarkana and back for hiS cross-country fl ight. He has also flown to Monroe, Eldorado , Ark . , Alexandria , and Lufk in, Texas .

According to Mr. Ray John­son , f l igh t instructor at Shreve­port Aviation , airplanes are a lot safer than cars . " For one thing, there are less of them around than cars. In the second place, if an engine burnt out you could slow down to forty , land , run into a brick wall , and still survive, " added Pru itt.

For those· of you who are in terested in flying , or are the adventurous type , or, just want to go along for the ride , Shreveport Av iat ion 'is offer ing an introductory fl ight , as a Gift Certificate for fifteen dollars . You r ide for thirty m inutes , go wherever you want to , and may also pi lot the plane. So visit Shreveport Aviation and fly the friendly skies with Fred Pruitt!

Fred Pruitt , senior at CS, takes precautionary measures for a flight around Shreveport.

Talented and spirited are two ways to describe CS senior Dina Bennett. Dina who is head cheerleader says that cheering is

A Solitaire at Christmas Strings of popcorn , little painted reindeer , And all those blessed boughs of holly ,

Mugs of hot coca make little ones jolly. Rings of love and reunited loved ones far and

near.

Glowng candles light up those frosted windowns ; Greeting cards line the cherry mantle. Everyone , yes , everyone awaits the charm ing

Santa-He will bring big packages and small ones with

bows.

Fires burn low; sometimes they even die . A solitaire paser-by glances at a bright door-She turns straight ahead ; she ' ll be home

by-and-by ; A "Silent Night " j ingle wrenches her heart to

the core .

A table for one- sometimes that 's how it is done. Lonely heart , wrapped up , forever protected

from harm , Struggles through long , cold nights- single

as a nun. Is there anyone out there to break her barriers

and make her warm?

Long ago memories of popcorn and painted reindeer

Taunt her, torment her of the now Christmas with no cheer.
