THE REAL STORY BEHIND THE "SUB" ... p. 5

Captain Shreve High School, Shreveport, Louisiana Volume X, Number 7 March 26, 1980

Student Council week-Faculty, students win lop honors Roemer stresses steps to win.ning

"It's nice to be a winner, • Buddy Roemer, area business­man , told the Shreve student body in a special assembly as part of Student Council Week last week.

Having been presented to the students by Student Council President Clyde Dornier, Roemer told the audience how to win in life. The Harvard graduate, who was also president of the Har­vard student body , told the stu­dents the four things that will determine who they are and what they will be .

The first thing , according to the Bossier native and active business and civic leader, is to know who is running your life. "You run your life, you are in

Talent bank-

control, " he said. He stressed the fact that the path one takes is up to each individual. "You can do anything you want to do , • he said .

"Smarts are nothing ; attitude is everything ," Roemer stated as he told the students that the second prerequisite to knowing oneself is "attitude, not aptitude, that will determine how far you go."

As he continued, the unsuc­cessful candidate in the 1977 4th congressional district race, told the students they shouldn ' t be fooled nor tempted by first impressions. "All that glitters is not gold ," he said .

As he completed his four sug­gestions to knowing oneself bet-

ter , he encouraged the audience to work together with everyone else . "We are all in this to­gether ... If you don't remember that lesson , you wi II be less for it," he added .

Roemer also talked about courage . " Brains aren't every­thing ," he said , then continued, "As a matter of fact , brains are pretty cheap . It is courage that is precious. "

Before closing with Robert Frost 's poem , "A Road Not Taken ", Roemer said, "I hope you have a good journey for the rest of your life. " He then con­cluded his speech by saying , " Have the guts to take the road less travelled by. By golly, it's your life ."

Students given opportunity to do their own thing

by Layne Cook Students who are exceptionally

talented in any area of interest from music to math , designing , remodeling, and multimedia will have a chance next year to develop those talents .

Seven Caddo Parish schools including Captain Shreve will participate in a Htalent bank" program, according to principal Sandra McCalla.

The program, funded by the school board, is for gifted and I or talented students of all ages with special interests , who wish to "broaden their horizons• . The program will be set up as a one­hour class, with participating students earning one elective credit. A carefully selected tea-

cher will serve as "facilitator• to aid the students as needed, but the class will basically consist of individual work by the students. First , the student attending the class selects a topic of interest.

For example, if a student is interested in music composition , the facilitator will find someone capable of helping the student in his field . At the end of the school year , the student will be required to have a "finished product •, in this case, an original music com­position . The "finished product• will be taken to professionals in this field to be critiqued. If a stu­dent is interested in photo­graphy, he may create his own multi-media show around a cer­tain theme.

However, the most important requirement to be enrolled in this class is "commitment to task". Grades or IQ (intelligence quo­tient) will have nothing to do with the decision of accepting a stu­dent , said McCalla.

Students may apply voluntarily or be nominated by fellow class­mates , teachers, or parents . By next month , the 30 students par­ticipating in the class will be noti­fied by the selection committee and will later attend a Talent Bank Seminar .

The idea for the talent bank originated from .a program in a high school in Arkadelphia, Ark., according to McCalla. Dr. Lester Johnson, Supervisor of Science for the school board, brought the idea to Caddo Parish.

Gladys Aderhold Gladys Aderhold , Algebra II

and geometry teacher, will receive the Educator of Distinc­tion Award on April 18 at the state PTA meeting in New Orleans. Mrs. Aderhold, who is the first teacher from Shreve to ever obtain this distinction, is among six in the state to receive the award this year .

Pamella Cooper Pamelia Cooper , junior, was

recently elected president of the District II Future Homemakers of America. Cooper is the sixth district officer selected from Cap­tain Shreve in the past eight years .

Jan Otwell DE teacher Jan Otwell was

recently awarded outstanding Vocational Educator by the American Vocational Association at the Vocational Association at a meeting in Biloxi , Miss.

Otwell is president of the Louisiana Vocational Association, an organization of Louisiana vocational teachers.

Julianne Palmer Julianna Palmer, CS junior,

was recently elected state Octa­gon Club president. Therefore, Shreve Octagon Club will host state convention next year .

r--__ Up, down, all around-- students enjoy skating It was up and down and all around for a group of CS students ,

parents and faculty at a skating party sponsored by the Z-Ciub recently . Luckily , Mrs. Joanne Goodwin was there to teach the fundamental techniques of the art of skating backwards to those who desired to learn . The group met at Playland Skating Rink . where they paid $2 each to skate . The funds taken in went to the Kidney Founda­tion as part of a fund-raising project for Z-Ciub .

CS students, left, glide across the skating rink while posing for a picture. Oops! Melanie Reagan, center , seems to have missed the action for a while when she landed in an unconfortable position at the skating party . Mrs. Joanne Goodwin, right, demonstrates her skill of roller skating.

2 opinion

Se~ioritis contagious Senioritus: contaminated disease of the mind. Victims: 17 and 18-year-olds usually classified as seniors in high

school . Since mid-term, many students have been labeled as senioritus

victims because of the following symptoms: attention span decreas­ing, daydreaming , constant talk of senior parties and trips, procrasti­nation, and a "don't care" attitude. All students experience at least a mild case of the sickness their senior year.

Academically, seniors have a tendency to slack up in school work after the first semester. And the attitude prevailing is usually negative because the situation is viewed from the standpoint that grade averages computed after mid-term is the only major · factor used to determine whether or not a student is a top graduate, en· titling him to wear a honor card at graduation.

At present, grades are averaged after the seventh semester to determine top graduates and are computed again after the fourth nine weeks for college admission purposes.

From then on, the third and fourth nine weeks are usually downhill because students begin to take little interest in t.heir school work. Yes, students should enjoy the few days they have left in high school, but should take an interest in their school work as well, for it may have a great effect on them in the long run.

Fee charged for transcript due to abuse of privilege

Since mid-term, a fee of one dollar has been charged for each additional copy of a student's transcript after the first. Though many students haven't been complaining about the new policy , some view it as a money-making scheme saying: "Why charge one dollar for copies of a transcript when duplicates can be made of the first free copy for ten cents in the school library. •

The administration doesn't deny that the extra dollars charged for transcripts hasn't come in handy because it has. With rising inflation, operational costs are increasing and the strategy for charging a fee was to eliminate abuse of the privilege to request free copies. Principal Sandra McCalla said that many students would request as many as eight copies of their transcript for college and scholarship applications, but would end up losing or destroying them, therefore, requesting transcripts again for the same purpose.

The administration doesn't deny that the extra dollars charged for transcripts hasn't come in handy because it has. And due to inflation, operational funds are being cut more and more each year, so any extra money can be used.

Students have not been more careful about requesting tran­scripts since a fee is being charged, and besides, the system has also been adopted in other high schools and colleges in the area.

Baccalaureate to be abolished Each year there are a few changes made at Captain Shreve,

and next year is no exception. One major change will be the abol­ishment of the baccalaureate service for Captain Shreve. The decision was made by the administration because of the small attendance.

However, we feel that if there were a large number of students , faculty, parents and friends present this year , the administration may be easily persuaded to change their minds. Sure the bacca­laureate has no meaning to some people, but to many it meams a lot. - it's a part of the ceremony ending 12 years of secondary educa­tion. So if the service is to be discontinued , it will stop a tradition which has gone on not only at Shreve, but other high schools across the country.

" It should be a mixture of stu­dents ... everybody should be equal. When I took the course, it wasn ' t difficult because I didn't have anyone above or below .me. I felt that we were on the same level."

by Terrie Michaels I first met Becky when we were cheerleaders

on opposite teams at a football game. By the middle of the fourth quarter, Becky's mouth had caused an all girl gang fight. The final score was 2 black eyes for my team and a three day suspen­sion for Becky, who had started the whole mess. We've been friends through thick and thin ever since.

Becky was always doing something; flying kites, playing frisbee , or climbing trees. Becky loved to run in open fields, to feel free and young. She was a wild spirit, independent and carefree, and ready to experience life to the fullest .

Becky and Bob were in love . She and I would sit and talk for hours, she about Bob and I about love . I dreamed I would never marry and spend my life surrounded by the mountains. In Becky's dream, she and Bob would be married and traveling all over the country in a Winnebago. "And as for kids ," she never failed to add, •we can have two, when we are tired of traveling ... or broke! " And we would laugh and thank heaven we were so young and free.

Throughout our freshmen and sophomore years in high school, Becky and I were doing whatever came to mind whenever it came to mind, vgwing only to live for the moment. Becky would tell me, so seriously , "We're so young, Terrie! We have so much to do, do, do~ • And then we 'd be on our way, possibly to crash a formal party wearing our most horrid old jeans , to a very expensive restaurant without a penny to our names.

Bob and Becky were invited to a close friends wedding . Becky hated weddings for two reasons : she had to wear a dress; and she would usually end up so depressed. She called me after the ceremony in a pitiful mood. "Oh, Terrie , • she began dramatically . "You should never have to witness what I did this afternoon!" And she con­tinued , in her Tallulah Bankhead dramatics , to curse such a dispicable thing to happen to two young lovers . I laughed silently to myself, sure that I wouldn't be attending Becky's wedding anytime soon.

Bob , a good-looking , cocky sort of guy, was in love with Becky. As the years crept on , he had found he loved her more and more seriously . he loved her spirit ; ("spunk" is what he called it). Becky continued to love Bob , too . She went on loving Bob, being free , and sharing her secrets with me. In the middle of our junior year, Becky wanted to share a secret. So, I I istened to her secret. Then I cried for Becky . Becky cried for her freedom.

The Enterprise/March 26, 1980

Not so long after that day , Becky dropped out of school. Bob took two jobs to prepare for what was ahead. He could handle the two jobs , but the pressure from his parents, Becky's parents, and his partying buddies made him very uptight. But Becky was strong , or so she said . "We' II make it," she promised me. By this time I had finished crying every time the subject came up. Now I was fascinated by the size of Becky's stomach . She had always been such a thin girl . She had always been so free.

Becky asked me to be her maid of honor at their wedding. It was a sweet, small ceremony. I found out why weddings depressed Becky . I had to drink more than usual out of disbelief of what I was witnessing. Becky had changed; she was like a flowing stream that had been captured in a bottle. Now she was just a glass of water, destined for stillness and isolation from the beauty of her freedom.

The months of waiting passed, and in November Becky gave birth to a baby boy. Quietly , Becky emerged as a woman and a mother, but to me she was still a child with a child.

Bob was proud of his son. He would teach him to play football and ride a motorcycle. He loved his son; but Bob has another love ... his freedon. Bob left Becky in December to go climb mountains and fish. He left her with $800 and an empty promise that he would be back. Becky let him go free; she loved Bob. Besides, her son was so young and she had so much to do, do do now.

I called Becky at her parents' house about a month ago. "Hi, girl!" she said, straining to sound cheerfull , "I'd love to talk, but I'm very busy . I ... I'll call you back ... as soon as I can . So long." And the phone was dead. I think when she finally calls back I 'II invite her to lunch or something. We'll talk about football and frisbee , and maybe we'll share a few secrets. It will do her good to hear from good ole Becky again.

the college bound by Karen Coe

Many senior students and parents do not realize the cost of going to college is rising on the average of 10 percent more each year .

There are a variety of types of colleges and universities whose costs can vary depending on the location as well as the kind of institution , its size, location and facilities. The different types of schools include public , private, church-related , two-year, four­year , coeducational and single sex . Certain geographic areas of the country tend to be more expensive than others .

Tuition and fees are affected by the type and amount of physi­cal facilities available as well as by the number and quality of the faculty.

According to the estimates of the College Scholarship Serv ice , the averages for 1979-80 for one semester ranged from a high of about $5,730 for resident stu­dents at a fou r-year pr ivate college to a low of $2,500 for commuters attending publ ic community colleges .

Among those reporting 1979-80 student charges per s Jmester, Bennington College in Ve1 1ont ranks as the most exp0nsive undergraduate institu­tir>n in the U .S. with tuition and student fees of $6,590. Brown

University is second with $5 ,615, followed by Stanford with $5 ,595, Middlebury with $5,588 , Prince­ton with $5,585 , Sarah Lawrence and Yale with $5,550, Wesleyan with $5,515 , and Harvard­Radcliffe with $5,330.

State-wide, the cost of atten­ding college can range from a high of about $3,500 for resident students at a four-year private college to a low of $500 for stu­dents attending public com­munity colleges .

Centenary College located in Shreveport could cost as much as $2,200 which includes tuition and student fees . LSU-Baton Rouge which seems to be the college that most seniors prefer could cost as much as $2,300, and Northeast which is located in Monroe with $1 ,800. Both of these quotes are for one semester.

Add room , board, travel , books , entertainment , and clothes - and it wi ll cost abou t $10,000 to attend a pr ivate insti­tut ion this school year .

And of cou rse , the costs con­t inue into graduate school . To help pay college costs , there are many forms of financ ial aid available to students . Seniors should check with their coun­selors before making a decision as to which college they are going to attend.

Letters Dear Editor,

1 understand here at CS the teachers are very much qual ified . They are understanding. They're here after school to help the stu­dents with the problems they may have in a particular subject. Some teachers are fussy, but they do it because they care. Teachers are more than just tea­chers ; they can be a friend if you let them . They also have to do as much work as the students. I say for a person of this type, who is willing to take the time out to teach so much to a large number of students is very concerned and and helpful. If it weren't for tea­chers , we wouldn ' t be this far.

Name Withheld To the Editor,

I think the Science Department at CS is very good . It is very well equipped with some of the best items. Some of these items include the three power objective microscopes and the models used tor demonstration in the class.

We can use these items in our process of learning . It makes bio­logy more interesting .

As well as some of the best equipment , the sc ience teachers , 1 feel , are very qual ified tor the job they do. One teacher , Mr. Lott , throws out big words at the class , but explains what they mean in detail. I feel he becomes one of the class because he understands us . He answers the many questions we have.

Student centers life around shodoes. Ieee-eating horse

by Lisa Fiore and Amy Powell Journalism Class

Shodeo riding, centering around barrels, poles, and flags, seems a far cry from what most city slickers at Shreve participate in during the summer months, but for senior Sheila McCraney, it's the tops!

While Sheila , decked out in her· jeans and cowboy boots, saddled up King Smokey, her favorite horse, she explained that the. shodeos take place every Saturday night during the sum­mer. People from area riding clubs' get together to compete in many different events such as barrel racing.

Although Sheila started com­peting only three years ago, she has been riding horses since the age of three. And , naturally , h'er first horse was a Shetland pony.

After school, Shei Ia centers her day around King Smokey , feeding him , grooming him, and practicing with him. This often adds up to an hour or more each day. However, practicing with the barrels, flags, and poles is

essential for keeping the horse ready for competition.

Before the actual competition begins, Sheila rides King around the arena to warm and limber him up, and usually will feed him, but what's unusual about the feeding is that .. ' . it's hamburgers! "When I go to the show, I buy him a hamburger and he'll do good," Sheila said.

That is n'ot the most unusual thing King eats though. Besides hamburgers, King will drink lcees, and according to Sheila, "Cokes and everything else, too."

Sheila's future includes plans to attend Southern University in Baton Rouge and to major in communications , particularly broadcast journalism. As for her shodeo plans, she still wants to participate and win more trophies to add to her collection of which she already has over 200.

And if 200 trophies in three years says anything about her performances, she will surely win some more.

Sign language-

One of Johnston's many hobbies by Lisa Rothell

Captain Shreve senior Donna Johnston has a very different hobby. It is sign language.

Donna said that for the past four years she has taken classes in sign language at her church, where she works with deaf people. "It's not really hard to learn , but you do have to study. I guess it's like any other foreign language," explained Donna.

After graduation, Donna plans to go to Rick 's Junior College in Rezburg , Idaho, which according to Donna has a good department in teaching the deaf. Her plans are to major in theatre and rn i nor in the teaching of the deaf and blind.

" I 'm very interested in acting even though I've never acted in a play , I did work with "Johnny Belinda", teaching some of the sign language they used, • Donna said .

Donna said that after she graduates from college she would like to move to California

and begin teaching while slowly working her way into acting. "I wo11lrl like to try to combine the two together if that is possible,·· explains Donna.

Even though she spends a lot of time on sign language, Donna said she also enjoys sewing and writing . "I especially love to write poetry," she said.

Donna Johnson takes time out of class to demonstrate sign language for the ENTERPRISE.

Maynard Ferguson gives jazz class c~ \ - ) fates of grath)

by Bryan McNeil and Jim Davis Let us take a break from the

incessant critiquing of rock albums (like Ted Nugent, Rush, and Judas Priest) and venture to the land of Jazz. Hopefully, this article will give everyone an idea of what Jazz is really like.

Two weekends ago, nine members from the Captain Shreve Jazz Ensemble traveled

to Sulpher, Louisiana, to hear Maynard Ferguson and his band in concert. Maynard Ferguson started his professional Jazz career at the age of 17 under the direction of the late Stan Kenton, and quickly soared through the ranks to become one of the world 's most outstanding trum­pet players .

Screeching the art of playing

Jazz musician Maynard Ferguson plays the trumpet at a recent concert in Sulphur.

notes too high to be written on standard sheet music, is what Maynard Ferguson is most noted for. Maynard's band over the last 20 years has been made up of the most outstanding musicians from all over the world. Only the best musicians can play in a top-notch Jazz band! Anyone who can strum a guitar and make a noise out of his oral cavity can become a rock star and the American public is gullable enough to accept this simple-minded music just as they accepted disco in 1978. Ted Nugent playing guitar in Maynard's band can be com­pared to Ms. Langley teaching Calculus II at Harvard Univer­sity .

During the first set of the con­cert , the band wailed magnifi­cently leaving Maynard to match their perfection. The band's per­formance traveled from one end of the musir.al spectrum to t he other , play ing a mixture of Jazz, Jazz-Rock, Disco-Rock , Disco­Jazz, and even a hint of M odern Classicism .

Grath has detected a serious and rapidly growing epidemic among the students at CS . The disease appears approximately every year at this time and is commonly known as Spring Fever. However, the seniors appear to be more susceptible and the illness is highly contagious among them.

It may put forth any of several symptons: fidgeting in class, day­dreaming , hyper-activity , a short attention span , and (you may find this hard to believe) often excessive absences. Yes , virtually everyone is thinking about those great days of summer-parties , sunburns , and radiators boiling over. There is only one sure cure for the senoirs , and that , quite simply , is the magical word-Graduation!

For 12 years the idea of d iplomas and square hats with tassles has been floating around somewhere in the m ind , yet usually as something out of reach. So now when the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" is asked , the old standby of "a fire­man " or "a nurse" is not quite so easy to rattl e off .

But Grat h asks , what is there to be done about th is infectuous disease? Unfortu nately , there is no way to make time speed by when you want it to be , or else it would always be summer, a birth­day , or Christmas. So perhaps you should "try not to think abou t it," or take out some of your impatient energy on schoolwork (at least its constructive). If these don't work , Grath is sorry to say that you ' ll just have to cont inue dayd reaming , fidgeting , and being hyper-active.

Sut do try to think positively , because believe it or not , it will come sooner that you th ink , and afte r it ' s over and done you may find your­self sayi ng, " I w ish I wereasenioragai nl "

Daffy Ditties offers many interesting surprises

by Missy Falbaum Picture yourself in a romantic restaurant quietly celebrating your birthday with your latest beau. The lights are dim and the atmosphere is smooth and easy. A l l of the sudden appearing from nowhere are two men and women , dressed in top hats and tuxedoes who quickly gather around the table and then break into an original rendition of " Happy Birthday " which is written especially for you. You are thoroughly embarassed but pleasantly surprised. The singing trio better known as Bill Wheat , Sid Crump and Janet Maldonado make up the newly incorporated Daffy Ditties Singing Telegram Service which is located here in Shreveport . Daffy Ditties got its start in March of 1979 due to the brainchild of Wheat ' s idea . " It was mostly Bill 's ideas to start up Daffy Ditties . His original idea was to work mostly with the singing telegram , yet now we do about everything, " explained Crump . Daffy Ditties supplies a numerous amount of different grams. Their repertoire consists of the infamous singing telegram , pie gram , T-shirt gram , rose gram , champagne gram and skit gram . Well how much money are we talking about and what do these grams consist of? The singing telegram , which is the most popular of all the grams , costs $25 and consists of an original arrangement of a birthday song or anniversary melody . "When the person calls asking for a singing telegram we ask them for the various hobbies of the " honored per­son ", SAID Crump. Another gram is the pie gram which runs $35 and includes a swat in the face with a delicious fluffy pie from Merle's Restaurant . The unusual gram , the $30 T-shirt gram includes your very own Daffy Ditties T-shirt. The sentimental rose gram is a long stemmed red rose which runs about $30. A bottle of Italian wine makes up the champagne gram at a cost of $35. Daffy Ditties can also perform various skits for parties and meetings.

5) ,Bobby' -- friendly face at school

by Sarah Flowers Journalism Student

You've no doubt noticed a rather round and very jovial cust­odian working around CS. You may have also noted the fact that he is usually singing or hum­ming under his breath. When Bobby Robinson was recently in­terviewed by Gaye Gannon, in journalism class , she inquired as to the source of his seemingly eternal happiness, to which he replied that he is satisfied with his life , and has learned that it less muscles to smile than it does to frown ."

Bobby , who classified himself as a simple man , comes off as a

true Southerner who is easily pleased . He enjoys such activ­ities as golf(which he has played for about 22 years) , chess , and dominoes and is an avid fan of all sports . As a matter of fact , Bob­by used to teach PEat the Union School after graduating from Grambling and serving in theAir Force for four years .

When asked what he consider­ed in main vice in life , Bobby laughingly replied , "Females. It gets all tangled up , and I forget my appoinfments ."

The person Bobby admires the most is his mom. "She was the

best because she was my mom , and she did the best she could for us, " he said.

He referred to himself as a philanthrcipist "because I like to give kids lunch money when they come up short. " But Bobby is more than a custodian , philan­thropist , and just a basic nice guy--he is also a great one to con­fide in and just talk to. He says the students know they can trust him not to go any further with their problems .

To top all this off , Bobby has a great philosophy about life, "I treat people like I want to be treated ," -which is really what it 's all about to him .

She'd rather be a rgrizzly' than a simple brown bear

by Tammy Thoma Journalism Student

Wearing large rim glasses and short cowboy boots with a very fashionable blue skirt and beige top, Mrs. Brooke Capps, a sub­stitute teacher at CS can be seen walking down the halls dressed as though she just walked out of a photo session with Vogue mag­azine . These styles are very pre­dominant in areas like New York and Dallas but not here . Mrs . Capps says that shreveport is a year or two behind the times in fashion .

Mrs. Capps is a very complex person with some interesting hobbies and beliefs . She says she is a perfectionist and that " noth­ing is ever simple for me." She would like to write a cookbook and another book on how to write social notes for newly married couples. Mrs . Capps has taught a french cuisine course and while other people sit down and read a novel she reads cookbooks. She also considers herself an ac­complished cook of Indian, Greek and !tal ian dishes .

Her hobbies include needle point, sewing, reading , card playing, and collecting unusuai jewelery and antiques. She has been an interior decorator with builders which prompted her and her husband's building of three custom-bu i It houses. In her spare time Mrs. Capps enjoys going to ballets, symphonies, and plays. She likes classical and semi­classical music.

Because of her love for hislory Mrs. Capp's fantasy is to live 200 years ago. In fact , that is one reason that Washington D.C. is one of her favorite places-it holds much history .

While meeting her husband on a blind date she says they are both very aggressive people which appears different in a re­lationship , but she said , he was looking for someone who, "picks daisies in the snow." They have one little girl named Ashton Brooke who is 9 years old . Mrs. Capps says being a wife and mother is her first role .

When asked about why she was a substitute teacher instead of a regular one , she said, "it suits my needs ." In her hus­band 's work there is a lot of trav­eling and she likes to travel with him. In Substitute teaching she has that time .

Mrs. Capps is definitely an ex­traordinary person , she com­ments , "Life can't always be a gourmet 's delight , but it doesn't mean we shouldn't keep dream­ing."

One of the most noticeable features about Capps is her large , silver-rimmed glasses. When asked why she likes her glasses so large, she replied,' If you ' re going to be a bear, you might as well be a grizzly . •

Mrs . Brooke Capps, substitute teacher, has many favorite pastimes and enjoys teaching at Captain Shreve.

First impressions, lasting impressions 1010 S HREV EPORT BARKSDALE HWY . OFFICE 861·3561

by Jerry Dougherty First impressions. The thing

you remember most. Different people cause others to have different first impressions. Take Miss Sandra McCalla, for example. In a random survey of sixteen students and faculty members , The Enterprise received several responses to first impressions of McCalla. "She was very nice" and " I liked her " were common. Some stu­dents said their first impressions were "She is nice and helpful, • "dign ified , " and "eff icient," while others felt she was "strict, • "real businesslike ," "mean, • and "just another teacher".

Each time someone sees a stranger, they have a first impression based on their initial behavior. First impressions are baserJ on each individual 's impli­cit personality theory . .tl.ccording to Mrs. Davis , CS psychoiogy teacher , the implicit personality theory is the ideas each person

has on how a person should behave, look , and act.

These ideas are reached by three methods . The first , generalization, is judgements that are made on only a few facts. Simplification , the second method , is stereotyping . Central traits, the last method, is when you see a person the same way everyday, it is hard to picture the person another way. For example, if you have a teacher that is very strict in class, it is hard to picture the teacher as a kind , warm hearted person after school.

Categorizing people is an ancient custom says Mrs. Davis. Even in the biblical days people were categorized. The kings , which most people looked up to , looked down on the people who they felt were poor illiterate peasants.

When people categorize a stranger , the person usually has in mind the way the stranger's

friends are. Seventy-five percent of the time , their ideas are right , says Mrs. Davis.

Many characterist ics help in categorizing a stranger. Some are the looks, voice, parental background , society which has a large influence on the analysis and, later in life, socialization .

When a person is judged to be shy , most people tend to be par­ticulary sympathetic . If the per­son is judged aggressive , most people tend to be wary of him . If a stranger is judged intelligent in · class , his classmates tend to expectalotoutofhim.

First impressions are not always good. Some people , w~10 each have a poor first impression of one another , can become the best of friends. Even though the two people are good friends , the first impression remains in the back of the mind. Mrs. Davis summed it up very well when she said, " First impressions are lasting impressions. "

Spring is in the air!

THE FIRST DATE by Randy Carrier

It was a sunny Thursday after­noon and Alex and Suzie sat at Veterans Park discussing their friend Les . Now Les was a real funny guy and everbody like him

·but he had this probblem- he just couldn ' t get a date and this fact plaqued his very existance. So, Alex and Suzie went down their list of single women who they knew , searching for a good set up for poor, !onley Les.

Finally they came up with a typical cute little chick named Kim , Now Kim was very shy and took a lot of convincing , so Suzie, who knew her pretty well , talked to her at school the next day about it . Kim freaked out and told Suzie that she was afraid to because she didn't know Les and had never seen him . For all of Suzie's efforts in convin­cing Kim that she would have a good time, Kim simply refused. In despair , Suzie called Alex and informed him of the problem . A slight wry smile crossed Alex's face at the news.

" I ' II call her and talk to her . • " It won ' t do no good," replied Suzie," she 's just a chicken . • Fully grinning ear to ear, Alex finalized the situation with , "Trust Me. "

About that time , Les called and asked Alex about it . Having not completed his mission . Alex could only reply " lm gonna call and talk to her ." Les took this as a " forget it" and conformed to giving up . 'i ' ll still pick you and Suzie up , and my brother Ted and his chick Linda are going to. I 'II just play chauffer , I guess . •

Alex , though , had not yet begin to fight. Kim 's phone rang twice , she answered, and her fate was sealed . She pleaded wih Alex that her hair wouldn ' t do a thing , and that she was self­conscious of her braces , and that she was afraid , but Alex gave her no quarrel. Friday night , tonight , was set .

Alex sat outside his one starry mansion , contemplating the up­coming evening. He had informed Les that if he did take our Kim , he had to turn on his unstoppable humor and every­thing would. be cool. The big white Les mobile pulled in and Alex jumped in . Ted and Linda were also with Les . "Are you Les, "Why "? " Because Kim's coming . " At this Les's eyes lit up and he confronted the even­ing with new vitality .

Half the evening had passed and Les was nervous as can be expected , fumbling with a vain attempt at making con­versation . Kim (shy little Kim) offered no help whatsoever .

Thus the evening passed. Later on, the six of them met some friends and all decided to meet at a dead end street which they all knew , so they could all sit and talk and at the same time preserve petrol.

The night was becoming older and still Les had not gained his courage. Sure he was at the peak of his humor, but that was about it. Linda and Ted sat on the front seat of the Les Mobile, Alex and Suzie were leaning against the left side; and Les and K im were on the right talking to their friends . Suzie and Alex watched Les in his predicament and tried to offer some assistance by signaling him to at least put his arm around her. But everytime he would turn around , so would Kim , and Suzie and Alex would have to fake an itch or a yawn .

Finally a moment arrived . Les turned , undetected by Kim . Re­joicing , Alex and Suzie signaled the next move and Les (ignorant Les) , much to the surprise and disbelief of the signalers , comes 9ut and says "O.K.!" The slow­witted ignoramous says "O.K.! • Needless to say , Alex and Suzie bowed down , defeated . It was up to Les from here on . Sad to say , though , Les did not pull through.

The night had come to an end ;

Ballooning mystifies most Nancy Futrell

Have you ever awakened in the middle of the night and found yourself unable to get back to sleep simply because you are to­tally unfamiliar with the history of ballooning?

Most people, of course, would say no, but for those of you who have suffered that horrible ex­perience , I know you are out there, 1 am presenting the anti­dote.

Ballooning began in Paris in 1783 when two brothers named Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier were sitting around one night watching their fireplaced . The observant brothers, noticing that bits of paper would fly up the chimney, eventually concluded that the smoke from the fire had some magical properties . Ex­citedly, the Montgolfier brothers filled paper bags with smoke and watched them fly away. (Re­member, they didn ' t have tele­vision in those days.)

Encouraged by the flying bags , the brothers announced that they had discovered a revel-

utionary new way to litter the French countryside. Soon the tiny oaper bags did not satisfy them and they constructed a massive linen bag and filled it with smoke from a straw-fed fire and watched it land a mile from the launch point. Before long, the Montgolfier's discovery re­sulted in the first passenger­carrying balloon.

First Passengers Since no one could locate an

18th century European version of "The Human Fly," the first pas­sengers were a duck, a rooster, and a sheep. Unfortunately, the names of these brave test pilots have been lost in history, but their safe flight convinced the King of France to authorize a human flight .

The king decided to send a criminal aloft , since his loss would not be missed all that much if anything went wrong, the Marquis d'Arlandes per­suaded the monarch that man's conquest of the air should not be left to a common criminal. So, on

Shreve's Chris Webb shot a 73 to claim the medalist honors and won the individual title by more four strokes. Of the 100-plusPart­icipants in the tournament, only five broke 80.

Other scores for tne Gators include Curtis Crenshaw, who finished fifth individually with a 79, Bart Drnier back at 83, Scott Martin 85 and Robet Jackins with 86. The Gators have not lost a meet so far this season.

Mrs. lueburda Jamison

November 21 , 1783, the Marquis and a friend named Pilatre de Rozier made man's first balloon ascent before a large crowd of onlookers including the king of France himself.

Various historical accounts of the first manned Montgolfier flight tell us that since the de­scent stage of flight had not been perfected, the Marquis and his passenger felt they might hang aloft for a year or more. These same eyewitness accounts claim that is the reason the Montgolfier (ballon) was decorated with a banner bearing the legend "Have a Good Year."

After the initial flight, bal­looning soared in popularity and was refined by various techno­logical advances. It is interesting to note, however , that in 1859, the U.S . Post Office made an at­tempt to carry mail by balloon from Lafayette , Indiana, to New York City . Unfortunately, the flight ended a mere 27 miles out­side of Lafayette and the Post Office abandoned the idea of transporting mail by balloon for almost 100 years.

It wasn 't until October 1964 that the hot air balloon was re­vived as a means of delivering mail between cities, a policy that is in effect to this very day .

sports 7 State championship keeps team swinging

Can the Captain Shreve tennis team win the Louisiana State Tennis Championship this year? That is the question that is going through the minds of many Shreve tennis players (including Coach Lee Hedges).

The girls ' team has won the title for the past six years in a row , while the boys' squad has always had a .respectable finish. CS has gotten off to a winning start posting wins over Longview, Natchitoches-Central , Byrd and Jesuit-St. Vincent bringing their record to 4-0.

"I feel like we have a good chance if we can just put it all together ," says Coach Hedges. The first step to winning the state title is winning at regionals which are just around the corner (April 25-26) . Foll~wing regionals is of course the state tournament which will be in New Orleans this year. The top eight girls and boys from CS will be selected at this time and will be paired up in singles, doubles and mixed doubles competition.

The girls are the defending state champs in both singles and doubles and Coach Hedges added that the bous are hoping to finish first in their competition as well.

album reviews Movie Reviews

Cruising by Lisa Rothell

This movie has to be one of the most disgusting movies to hit a local theater in a long time .

AI Pacino stars as a policeman who must go under cover in order to seek out a homosexual murderer. Pacino must disguise himself as a homosexual and hang out in gay bars and discos .

Even though the beginning of the movie states that this does not depict the whole gay community , it is very explicit in its homosexual implications and vivid in the violent stabbing deaths of the victims . One comes away with the feeling that all homosexuals wear make up , black leather jackets , and mirrored sunglasses even at night.

Pacino , who is noted as a top actor seems to have chosen a dud to star in this time.

Although the movie is rated "R" it seems to be more on the type of the "X " rated drive-in flicks shown only at midnight .

Coal Miner's Daughter by Lisa Rothell

"Coal Miner's Daughter" is an excellent movie based on the life of country singing star Loretta Lynn and adapted from her autobio­graphy of the same name.

Sissy Spacek , star of the horro movie "Carrie" , does a wonderful job portraying a poor hillbilly-girl-turned-superstar.

The movie starts off when Loretta is a young 13-year-old girl growing up in Butcher Holler , Kentucky. It shows how she and her husband Mooney Lynn , played by Tommy Lee Jones, fall in love and marry . It is only when she is 21 years old and has four children that Loretta learns she can really sing . Mooney begins to push her career and before you know it , Loretta is a big star .

Even though Loretta has many problems all through the movie one gets the feeling that she and Mooney will live happily ever after.

On the Radio: Greatest Hits

Richard Kightlinger Journalism Student

Queen of disco, Donna Summer, has hit it big with her new album, On the Radio: Greatest Hits Volume 1 & 2.

The album consists of the two big hits, "On the Radio" (which was written for the motion pic­ture "Foxes") and "No More Tears-Enough is Enough" , in which she doubles with Barbra Streisand . The only criticism to be found on the album is that Donna is still singing the same old songs such as her previous big hits " Love to Love You Baby", "Bad Girls", "Heaven Knows" , and "Last Dance• . But her two recent hits seem to leave disco behind and pick up a new rocky, mellow beat. Listening to this album is a nice trip down memory lane with all the not so "oldies , but goodies •.

Jerry Ballard Bryant, better known as JB opened this chop shop two years ago March 16 and since then the small delicatessen was converted into a restaurant more than twice the original size. it stays opened from 11 a.m. until9 p.m., six days a week.

This restaurant consists of informal service where the cus­tomer seats himself and paper menus lie waiting for your deci­sion. Each day of the week one special hot plate lunch is served and everyday the salads and Sandwiches are served.

Owner JB said , "The meal we sell the most is red beans and

Along with the food there is an alternate activity that is defi­nitely a focal point of the evening and that is the game of darts. A lighted dart board in one corner entertains the customers plea­singly . JB 's is also becoming involved with dart tournaments.

Although it is rather calm at night, JB said , "Our real busi­ness is at lunch. • They are also opened for private parties which they hold in the back area. Thi~ addition is opened for the more crowded occasions .

Whether searching for a sandwich or a plate lunch let yourself find it at JB's Chop Shop.

His newest album, entitled Forever, in which he is pictured on the back cover with no shirt, is an obvious effort to overthrow the present and rapidly fading Shawn Cassidy as teen idle of the pop scene. Lines like "Let's make a memory" and "Oeoh, I can't stop Iovin' you, every time I see you" are hardly aimed at anyone over 12 years of age . After all , he does have a better voice and more chest hairs than Shawn Cassidy who seems to be "growing old " and losing touch with his young audie_nce.

Forever is a well produced album and with any luck at all will grab those little girls ' hearts within months . But really, Rex , why?

Damn the Torpedos by Randy Carrier

On Tom Petty 's new ~P, Damn the Torpedos, Petty finally shows some musical growth . The style he displays on the disc doesn't vary much from his two previous albums , but regardless, the musical quality is much more mature . From this album, Petty has received much airplay on many AM as well as FM stations with such songs as "Don't Do Me Like That" , "Even the Losers•, "Refugee", and "Here Comes My Girl". With the release of Tom Petty's debut album, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Petty had pretty good Luck with the hit "Breakdown" and on his second LP, You're Gonna Get It, such songs as "Listen to Her

Heart " "I Need To Know" , and tne title track arso were given substantial airplay, but his most recent release has more than doubled his popularity and has established his band as a domi­nant force in the pop music industry.

Elvis Costello: "Get Happy" by Randy Carrier

Frankly, this album is one of the worst albums of 1980. Elvis Costello has merely stooped even lower than his present standing . Get Happy contains twenty-one wimpy little tunes not even · worthy of ther Groovie Ghoulies. Costello 's nonsensical, pointless lyrics and nonsensical, pointless tunes add up to a big zero . If Elvis Costello thinks that his name is going to bring him attention then he better think agian, because nothing he does now is going to matter anymore. His steady decent from his first album (which was vaguely tollerable) to his new re­lease Get Happy is a sad story. Shall we say, Elvis Costello has bottomed out.
