Student Council revises bylaws, effective this year by Linda Ledbetter Assistant Editor

Starting in March, only stu­dents who have been a home­room representative or senator can run for Student Co unci I office , and beginning next year , senators will no longer be scheduled for a Student Council class.

These revisions are the result of a special Student Council committee's decision to revise the Council 's constitution. The committee was formed in No­vember when Student Council was made aware that changes were needed because of the new credit requirements and the state board 's ruling that students will

only get one-half total credits for Student Council regardless of how many years they serve.

Previously, any senior who had a 2.5 grade point average and met the ·administration 's approval could run for one of the four Student Council offices of president, vice-president, re­cording secretary and treasurer . According to Walter Pullen , Student Council president and member of the committee , the committee limited the candi­dates running for office to past homeroom representatives or senators to ensure that the officers will have had some experience and working back­ground with Student Council. "It will encourage people to get involved early," said Pullen. Candidates may also have been homeroom alternate represen-

tatives and senators-at-large. Also different from the old

policy , seniors (and not juniors) will be nominated by teachers for the two other Council offices , corresponding secretary and pari iamentarian . The four elected officers will elect a corresponding secretary and a pari iamentarian from the nom i­nations .

Only the six Student Council officers will be scheduled for the actual class next year. Eighteen class senators will still be elected by the student body as will three senators-at-large, still nominated by teachers and elected by the elected Student Council officers . The senators, instead of being in the class though , will meet weekly before or after school with the six Student Council officers to

discuss policies and "carry out the day-to-day business , " said Jack Bogan, Student Council sponsor. On the first Tuesday of every month, senators , home­room representatives and offi­cers will have a combined meet­ing.

Serving on tile committee to revise the Student Council Constitution were freshman Carranza Pryor; juniors . Cas­sandra Leviston , Lisa Norman , Spencer Reisinger , Anita Strode and Dede Wilburn; and seniors Daryl Green , Donnie Poweil and Walter Pullen .

After the revisions were passed by the committee, they •were approved by the adminis­tration, the Student Council (including homeroom repre­sentatives), and the bi-racial committee.

Container law now in effect· by Blake Kaplan Editor-in-Chief

Shreve opinion of the re­cently approved open con­tainer law , which states that no driver of a motorized vehicle in Shreveport may possess or drink an alco­holic beverage in an open container in city streets or in parks, is basically split.

In The Enterprise mini­poll , 51 percent of surveyed students were against the ordinance ,while 49 percent approved of the open con­tainer law. When asked if the ordinance threatens the indi­vidual rights of Shreveport citizens, 52 percent of Shreve students replied " no" and 48

(Editor's Note: 148 Shreve students responded to the mini-poll. This month, we look at the open container law in Shreveport.)

1. On March 1, the open container law in Shreveport went into effect. It states that no driver of a motorized vehicle may possess or drink an alcoholic beverage in an open container on city streets or in parks . Are you in favor of this ordinance?

Yes No 49% 51%

2. Do you feel this threatens the individual rights of Shreveport citizens?

percent said "yes."

Yes 48 %

Shreve students talk about the open container law:

"If citizens feel that their rights are threatened by this , maybe they ought to stop and think about the rights of the thousands that have been killed by drunk drivers . What about their right to live? "

" It would be nice not to have the open container

law , but I am not the only one who uses the street. At least everyone will be more careful ."

"The individual rights may be threatened , but benefits (the many accidents that can be avoided, the vast amount of lives saved) outweigh the insignificant amount of threatened rights. "

The open container took effect March 1.

Gambling -- 'Savior of Americar Although most have sinister connotations when the

word "gambling" is mentioned, gambling could work out to be the "savior" of America.

The people of America, on the whole, seem to enjoy gambling. An estimated 88-90 million Americans gamble nearly $500 billion a year , a figure equal to two percent of the U.S . personal income. The total amount of gambling activities, from side bets with friends to state lotteries, is about $1 trillion annually.

As a profit-seeking business, gambling is the leading industry in America today , both in number of actual par­ticipants and the amount of money used. It has a total money value larger than that of the nation's 100 largest industrial organizations.

Broken down into some of its various forms , horse racing takes in $650 million a year, with total racing bets placed at $15 .4 billion. State lotteries average $256 million a year , while sports betting is estimated at $60 billion to $75 billion . A record breaking $75 million was recently wagered on Super Bowl XVIII, the largest single amount ever handled by Vegas bookies.

Usually, the general public is not concerned about gambling activities as long as it does not affect them. In fact, a 1982 Gallup found that 80 percent of those surveyed endorsed legalized gambling.

Obviously America enjoys gambling and will continue to gamble whether it is legalized or not. Therefore, why not legalize gambling and let the government get a "piece of the action"?

Estimates of revenue potential of legalized gambling show gross revenue of well over $8 billion. If one divides that number by 50 (representing the 50 states in the U .S.) you come up with $165 million per state. Although it may not totally solve all fiscal problems, 165 million extra dollars could not hurt our state budget.

Legalized gambling would also help the unemployed . In Nevada alone , 90,000 jobs are provided by gambling operations.

Legalized gambling is the trend of the future and a possible solution for economic hardships in some areas.

Recreational center relieves stress Lunchtime. Let 's take a look at the · numerous, alter­

native lunchtime activities. We can eat a school lunch. (That is the only food choice .

Even 18 year olds can't eat out.) Then what? Wide selection of after-lunch activities also. You can ... stand around . If you don't want a school lunch, you can stand around even longer. ·

An enterprising solution to the problem: Have a student recreational center, designed to offer a

comfortable place to sit (no concrete benches), and an atmosphere in which one can be free from everyday school stress (carpet, and recreational activities) .

This recreational center could offer many small con­veniences that could make one's day easier. A coke machine and vending machine could add spice (Teachers have them in their lounge). A stereo, maybe a VCR, cards, and board games, could all help to alleviate problems encountered in school.

Students could study (it's hard to use the library since you can't get upstairs during lunch without a pass), sleep , or just be an all around lazy bum.

No one can deny in good conscience, that an average day in the life of a Captain Shreve student is filled with many possible stressful encounters. We at the Enterprise feel that an area designed with the purpose of alleviating that stress, would be most beneficial to the student body of Captain Shreve.

-S·Zioaar~ Senioritis here to stay

Teachers are braving it, underclassmen don ' t under­stand it, and seniors are simply attempting to endure it. It's the time of year when seniors, on their way to school everyday, are seized by an uncontrollable urge to drain their parents ' bank accounts, fill up the car with super unleaded and head to Tiajuana as fast as possible.

"Senioritis" has set in for good.

This common disease that fil­ters through the 12th grade in late February and early March each year is nothing short of deadly. Any typical classroom at Shreve contains signs that back this theory. For instance, an inside look at an art class. Freshmen are painstakingly etching lovable portraits of their mommys and daddies; sophomores draw detailed pic­tures of the drivers licenses they will soon receive; juniors pre­tend they ' re seniors and steal the pictures from sophomores;

And another thing

by Elizabeth Harrison

and seniors etch beautiful moon­lit nights in Florida, caps and gowns, and former teachers with nooses around their necks!

A leisurely stroll through an advanced math class reveals a lot , also. The few juniors in the class are bending over · their desks , writing furiously and diligently, calculating problems in their minds, and the seniors who haven't already given up and stare into space as if there were 90 miles of waving wheat fields between their ears, can­not seem to make their numbers add up to anything but 18 or 84!

Journalism students give senioritis away quickly . One

story: "McCalla and Adminis­tration enforce tardy pol icy''. Another : "McCalla visits D.C." . And still another: "Caps thrown at McCalla after graduation. "

Need you ask which is the senior 's?

Senioritis can also be de­tected through research papers. In junior English, papers are written about interesting, intel­ligent men or women who probably contributed a great deal to society. Senior papers, however, deal with great scien­tific theories . For instance, one title: "The positive effects of Cliff's Notes as a substitute for novels." And another: "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labatomy."

Let's face it, it happens to the best of us, and I'm sure all seniors, present and past, would agree. Laziness, irresponsibility, and just downright boredom in­filters our bodies ... we can't help it! Juniors, get ready to inherit the feeling!

Backpacking in SPain Well, ladies and good sirs of

Captain Shreve, it appears to be that time of year when the things at school just aren't filled with overwhelming excitement.

From the beginning of school until Christmas, there is always a vacation or day off in the not­so-distant future . But after that ... it's a long stretch of twelve weeks with research papers, and an umpteen number of tests with only one day off for teach­ers to average grades .

What a nasty time to have spring fever, right?

And so, I set out to discover a solution to the problem, but I . .. was ... stumped. I didn't have any ideas. Most unusual for me. Most of the time ideas just fill up my brain, and over­flow like a cascading fountain, but in this dilemma, the old pump went dry. So . . . I asked someone else.

Senior Kathy Willis would like to go backpacking in Spain for a vacation.

Jack Bogan , speech teacher, would like to go sunbathing in the Bahamas.

Allison Ricks, senior , would just like a week off from school

by Ross Smith

to just lie around the house and sleep .

Hittin' the old slopes in Colorado was by far the most popular answer .

Vacation ideas ranged from exploring sinkholes in Aus­tralia, to a quick space shuttle flight to the moon.

Now just suppose, that Miss McCalla in her infinite wisdom, doesn't allow these one, two, and three-week vacations . (I know that sounds hard to be­lieve, but for argument's sake, let 's just suppose.)

What to do then? Certainly ideas could be expressed for a more exciting classroom.

The fountain starts flowing . We could have a teacher I

clown day. All teachers could be required to dress up and teach class as clowns . Sound fun?

We could have swimsuit day.

People could show off most of their birthday suits. What else can I say about that subject?

Students could be given planning periods. I could sure use one.

Hour-long lunch periods? Sounds feasible to me!

Roller derby day could b.; utilized to its fullest potenti<tl with the circular hallways we have. We could put ramps on the stairwells .

The fountain is really gushing now.

Teacher mud wrestling day! McCalla challenges all! Even a student mud wrestling day has potential!

The school itself could use a little upgrading. Let's have a "Paint the School Day." Imagine a purple school.

We could have an opposite day: Yell in the classroom, be silent in the halls.

Well! . .. writing this story was fun. I think, however, that the school board would sooner let us go backpacking in Spain before they would let us do some of the above. But! It's nice to think (I still think that the teacher I clown day is entirely feasible .)

New requirements spark questions Dear Editor:

I am a high school student writing this letter in response to the recent decision of SESE to raise course requirements for high school diplomas.

I agree that higher standards are needed if we are to upgrade education, but I feel that the new requirements are unreasonable for many students.

Those students who are not going to college don't neces­sarily need to take some of the higher level courses the board has suggested, and will have a difficult time passing them. They need to concentrate on a basic or general program that is geared to their level. Other­wise, these students will be frus­trated, will fail and will drop out with no education at all. What will happen to these dropouts?

1 feel that the higher stand­ards shouldn't be limited only to high school. SESE should start in the lower grades raising requirements. All students, even at a young age, should know that more is going to be expected of them in the future.

There are many other prob­lems with this new program . Money will be needed to pay new teachers , purchase new books and fund new programs to help the weaker students . Where will the money come from?

Will the new requirements mean that the value of a high school diploma is higher? Have we solved problems or created more?

Letters to the Editor

Opposed Dear Editor:

I am totally against ra1s1ng the requirements for graduation. I for one am a girl of Captain Shreve High School who has to buckle down just to make aver­age grades with so many classes and requirements now! How do they expect us to be able to handle more? That is absolutely out of the question. No way!

Tiffany Smith (9)

Females Dear Editor:

Most teenage females have a knack for messing up a guys mind. When a girl is being super­nice to a guy, there seems to always be an ulterior motive lurking behind the innocent looking eyes and deceptive smiles. For instance, one per­son asked me to go back to our fourth hour class and get her eye-glass case for her. I told her no, but all that did was make matters worse. She began to whine and say "please!" When­ever a girl begs, it is because they know they can wrap you around their little finger.

Whenever they don ' t need

anything, they talk about you behind your back, and walk all over you . Their favorite hobby is to use and humiliate the male. I am tired of this type of abuse .

Whatever happened to a genuine interest in a person, share and share alike , and liking that person for what he or she is?

Charles Rachal (9)

Standards Dear Editor:

I am fifteen years old and a freshman at Captain Shreve High School. I am writing in response to the article (new state requirements for gradua­tion) in Wednesday 's paper (Feb. 1, 1984).

I think it's about time we upgraded our standards in Louisiana high schools. We have been too lenient on the require­ments for graduation .

I believe making stricter requirements for graduation will make students realize that they need to take school more seriously. With all the new requirements being made by colleges, such as Louisiana State University, kids are going to need additional courses to get into these universities.

· from the show "Not Necessarily The News" , which appears on Cable's Home Box Office. New words are always popping up almost everyday in our society , so you may find words such as "slurpaphobia," " patellareek ," and maybe even "loostral" in future dictionaries. Here are some more "sniglets" to look forward to:

"Graffioliac" - A person who constantly writes inside his locker , on his notebook , on bathroom walls , etc .

"Searotals" - All the burnt

potato chips left uneaten in the bottom of the bag .

"Siurpaphobia" - The fear of making strange noises while drinking through a straw in public.

"Footle" - The last person chosen as a teammate.

"Siobod ian" - The person who takes more than enough napkins in fast food restaurants .

"Solsqueelicion" - To make a noise by rubbing your tennis shoes on a hard floor.

"Belliat" - The bulge of fat that hangs over your beltline .

''Loostrals" - The red marks left on your forehead after falling asleep during class.

"Balushian " - A person who is able to raise on eyebrow .

"Ununocombrion" - A stu­dent who can't get his locker open on the first try.

"Dislimperdal" - Not able to match the correct button with the correct hole while buttoning a shirt .

"Abdairoate" A weird noise made by the stomach .

"Coiniomaniac" - A person who can't resist checking the change return slot in coin­operated machines.

"Stuprofodian" - A teacher who can't remember to take roll.

"Patellareek"- A noise which is made while bending your knees.

"PI uesionators" - Shoppers that walk up and down every aisle in the store and buy only a couple of items.

BACKTALK:-----------.

Student Council The Student Council recently amended their constitution

that anyone who runs for a SC office, must have previously served as a S.C. senator or representative. What Is your opinion em this new change in the constitution?

John Barthe, junior "I don ' t think you should have to have previous ex­perience. There may be a competent student who could

do the job who doesn't have the required experience."

Kendall Hanna, senior "I agree with it. They need to have had some experience before they get into it. A non-experienced person might not realize all the responsibilities that go with the job and therefore they will not know how to handle them ."

Roman Banks, freshman "I think that it is right because a person who has never been on the Student Council Board shouldn't have the right to come before a person who has once served as a senator or representative . An exper ienced person would do a better job because he knows what it is like to be in Student Counci I. "

John Gilmer, junior "I think it is good because the people would have more experience and be more efficient. The school's Student Council will be able to run better with this new change ."

Camille Reagan, senior "I don't think that it is fair . If people want to get in­volved during their last year, they should have the chance like everyone else does . They may be less qualified but they deserve a chance."

Marilyn Weinstein, sophomore " I don 't think it will make a big difference. If they are going to be right for the job, they will be good with or without experience."

Atmosphere makes J.T.'s by Pam Benecke and Macie Mcinnis

Imagine eating your dinner in front of an open fire. It may not be that unusual in your home, but in a restaurant?

Imagine sipping wine while listening to soft sound of live­entertainment from a piano bar.

These are only a couple of aspects that give J .T . 's Res­taurant & Lounge the truly unique atmosphere that is needed to make "dinner-out " like "dinner-in ."

Different as it may seem , J . T. 's is actually an old house converted into a restauran t. This may sound unusual, but for you guys looking for a quiet place to take your date, or for those of you searching for a new place to go on weekends where you can actually hear what the person next to you is saying, J.T. 's is just the place. J.T. 's completely transforms from a casual atmos­phere for lunch to a more ele­gant atmosphere for dining,

For lunch , J.T. 's offers the usual sandwiches , only with a freshly-made touch, such as

club ham and cheese, roast bee( and cheese , corned beef and cheese, ruber , B.L .T. and grilled cheese (served hot or cold and ranging from $2.50-$3 .95) , but they also offer extras that are not easily found in just any restaurant here in Shreveport . J .T ' s Super salad ($3. 75), Chicken salad supreme ($4.25), File gumbo (witl·. shrimp , crab-meat and sau­sage .)

But for the quick lunch crowd, J.T . 's has four var ieties of ham­burgers: Deluxe (everything). cheeseburger, '' Shroom burger , and a hamburger with sau teed mushrooms.

The dinner menu offers steak , shrimp, crab , and oysters made to one's specifications.

The fam i I y-ow ned business believes in keeping the food that way too. All of the meals are prepared fresh daily to give the food a home-made quality.

As manager Jean Davison states , the food quality and atmosphere is "out of charac­ter for Shreveport." Not many local places offer Natchitoches meat pies, cheese boards, big enough for a hearty meal , and fried oysters.

Fashion Wise

Are you ready for the SUMMER?

by Helen Haley Enterprise Reporter

As the weather begins to get warmer, girls begin to show interest in their swim­wear for the summer. This year, "The­smaller-the-better " is back and stronger than ever. Last year 's favorites, Ocean Pacific, Sundek and Lightning Bolt are still the most popular brands. The swimwear is found in almost any color or design de­sired. This year Lightning Bolt has come out with a new material for one of their new bikinis. The tops are made of a knit material while the bottom is the standard mylon of most bathing suits .

But this year the focus is on the cover-up rather than on what 's underneath! Mesh and netting are THE latest thing this

year. All of the popular brand names like Esprit and Ocean Pacific are producing these mesh and net cover-ups. Also a new brand is emerging on the summer scene this year. This new style is called "des ign cover Paris Club International". These new tops can be used as shirts or cover-ups except the mesh tops need to have some­thing under them. This brand looks pretty much like a generic T-shirt with the name in a contrasting color on the front of the shirt.

So come on girls, get your new flashy bathing suits and start getting your tan.

BESE proposal may not make it by Elizabeth Spaht Feature Editor

Students starting high school this fall will have stricter re­quirements than their predeces­ors because of a proposal ap­proved Jan . 31 by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (SESE).

The new required courses that are now a must to graduate include four years of actual English ; three years of math , including Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry; three years of science , including chemistry and biology .

Although the proposal by BESE has been approved, it hasn ' t been given a final vote on the exact requirements and as of yet , schools have nothing in writing that tell them what ex­actly to do to meet the pro­posal's standards . Governor­elect Edw in Edwards said in a recent press confere nce that he doesn't plan on the schools ever having proposal standards in writing because he doesn't plan on the proposal's success. His plans are to stop the pro­posal because it is too hard academically and too hard fi­nanciall y on the state.

Screenscene Energy, music, people make 'Footloose' fantastic

As Shreve Principa l Sandra McCalla puts it, "The school system only has so many dollars and they need more just to maintain what we have." Be­cause , as stated earlier , the BESE proposal has not had a final vote and has not been given in writing form to the schools it affects , McCalla is not worried about how the new requirements will be incorpor­ated into Shreve. For example , chemistry is now a requirement, but Shreve only has one chem­istry lab . But chemistry won ' t affect the incoming freshmen until they are at least juniors and McCalla says , "I'd like to cross that bridge a little closer to the river. "

WOW! The energy , the music, and

the people, all combine together to make Footloose fantastic!

The general feeling is "I want to dance," and it is very hard not to .

The movie is about a young man named Ren (Kevin Bacon), who moves from Chicago to a small town, where music and dancing have been outlawed. Ren meets a girl named Arial

(Lori Singer) , who is the town preacher's daughter , but she doesn't act like it.

for this movie is, that if you suddenly feel the urge to jump up and wiggle every time you hear Kenny Loggins singing Footloose, or you clap and laugh uncontrollabl y every time you see something really funny, then you may want to take some­one to this movie who can re­strain you, because this reviewer will not be responsible for you once you enter the Footloose Zone!

Ren goes through a long ordeal trying to bring music and danc­ing back to this behind-the­times town. Does he succeed? HAl HA! That is for you to find out.

I highly recommend this movie because of both the music and the acting.

Footloose is rated PG , no, not " potently gory ", but " perfectly great!" " . . . Everybody cut FOOTLOOSE! "

If the proposal goes into effect , new teachers, particu­larly of science , will probably have to be added . Therefore , some elective courses may have to be substracted. McCalla says if it comes to this point of the elimination of electives, she will be forced to "put priorities on them ."

Demmye Booras, a devoted, intelligent and interested sophomore.

Demmye has great expectations for her career after college.

No matter what the situation, Demmye always wears a smile.

Booras is hardworking, involved Dependable. Hard working.

Involved. A true leader. By the time a student becomes a Senior , he has done well to have been referred to as the above traits. But what about those Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors who have already reached that plateau?

Sophomore Demmye Booras is just such a student. During her freshman year in high school, Demmye served as the Girls' Vice President of the Freshman class, was active in Drama Club activities ·and speech tourna­ments, was a member of Shreve's Tennis Team, and played softball. Pretty full load for a Freshman? Demmye doesn't think so . In fact, despite all of the organizations Demmye is involved in this year, she wishes that she could go back and pick up some of those past activities. But the · fnteresting thing about Demmye is her ability to do all things well including grades.

"The most difficult thing I do

is be a student, " says Demmye. "It's a letdown to me if my grades fall." And so far, the let­down hasn't been too severe. This year, Demmye has main­tained a straight "A" average while participating in Drama Club, speech tournaments, the tennis team, Spanish Club, Astra Club, and Interact as a sponsor.

"That (becoming an Interact sponsor) was a big surprise t<J me. I never expected it. It was a big honor," Demmye ex­plained when asked how she views her reasons for partici­pating in these different activi­ties. "Tennis is just for fun. I guess I can just let out my frustrations."

But not everything Demmye does is "just for fun."

Demmye was chosen this year by Shreve counselors to participate on the SAPE (Sub­stance Abuse Prevention Edu­cation) co unci I which is an or­ganization working closely with MAD (Mothers against Drugs).

This is one activity that Demmye does not joke about. Another is her Hugh O'Brien award. "This is a big deal to me," says Demmye. The Hugh O ' Brien representative was chosen on the

1 basis of leadership, scholarship and just basic all-around good traits. Demmye is well-deserv­ing of this honor.

When asked what kind of pres­sure she feels about becoming such an outstanding Shreve personality at Sophomore level, Denimye explains, "I put pres­~ure on myself because the num­ber one thing to me is to become successful in a career . Happiness will follow that." In discussing that career, Demmye expressed an extreme interest in becoming an architectural engineer and studying at Texas A&M. "That could all change , " says Demmye. But there's one thing we can be sure of - if Demmye keeps up the pace and progress she is setting right now, the U.S. may soon be in for its first woman president!

Shreve basketballers gallantly bow out against Neville by Fred Holland Sports Reporter

It all started about midway through the season when #44 smashed in a career high 41 points that started the Captain Shreve Gators on a tear that lasted until they breathed their last breath of air .

Even though the season did end in a loss , it should be well remembered nonetheless .

The Gators went 10-0 in district (the first team to do this in eight years) and as usual advanced to the playoffs with a first round bye .

However, Shreve finally claimed defeat to the Neville Tigers and their relentless outside shooting by a score of 70-64 .

The question of who really was better on that cold February

night did not necessarily answer the question, who was the better team?

The game was played in the Byrd gym with Gator faithfuls filling it to capacity. It started at a fast pace with a running game that caused Shreve Center George Jones (possibly the best basketball player ever to leave Shreve) to get in foul trouble on two controversial calls .

Thus leaving David Boydston one man short of the devastating team he entered the game with.

Before Jones exited the game, in the second quarter, Shreve was in command and in the lead by three points. But by the end of the period, Shreve was down by seven points, and this was greatly due to William Young's 15 foot jumper at the buzzer .

The second half started with the Gators making many quick attempts to cut the Neville lead, but these spirts were silenced not so much by Neville but by the "whistle happy" refs that dictated the game.

Even though the season ended in defeat, it should be a season well remembered by some, but for most, like the seniors who went out in a blaze of glory, it will be a year that posses them until the day they die.

Oh, the life of a bench siHer

by Scott Pohlkamp

The Bench . No, not the base­ball great , Johnny Bench . I 'm talking about that strip of wood on the side of every athletic field .

It 's usually old , the paint is worn off , and its not paid much attention to, like the players that call it a second home .

Hours at a time second string athletes must sit on the bench. Every once in a while the coach might look over toward the bench-ridden athletes , and for a brief moment the player thinks he is going to go in the ball game, but it ends in disappoint­ment because coach was looking at a blonde in the stands. Well, what does one do while sitting on the bench all of this time? Certainly he doesn't just watch the game? The pace-setters of the sport of bench-sitting have developed some interesting ways to pass the time away .

A very popular way is to dip snuff or chew tobacco and talk about girls and last Friday night . However, there is . one drawback, the floor of the dugout gets awfully messy when there are eight people expectorating their tobacco juice . Another method is to jeer the opposing team by yelling statements about their ancestry or encouraging their teammates as loud as they can.

Bench sitters spend many hours doing this , but one day all of that splintering sitting pays off when the coach calls that individual, and says, "The score is 25-3 , I guess we can afford to let you go in , by the way, what is your name?"

Happy St. Patrick's

Gators bait themselves by Scott Pohlkamp Sports Editor

The Gator baseball team is still in the preparation stage of the season having yet to play a district game.

Thus far they have played two scrimmages, two tournament games and two non-distirct games. In the scrimmage games, which were three inn­ings each, Shreve destroyed North Caddo 20-0 then was clipped by Haughton 1-0. In the Airline tournament the Gators ran into a few prob­lems ... namely fielding errors and lack of hitting. Against the Southwood Cowboys, they had six miscues which led to four runs, while producing three hits offensively. The result was an 8-2 loss.

Against the Huntington Raid­ers, the Gators performance improved, except for the field­ing (six errors). Ace hurler Steve Gouthiere flirted with a no-hitter for 4 113 innings of the five-inning game, but disaster hit in the bottom of the fifth.

Leading 2-1, the Gators made two errors , which ultimately led to a 3-2 loss . Once again Shreve produced three hits. There were some bright spots in the tournament, however. First baseman-pitcher Carl Jackson slapped two hits as did center fielder Woodus Humphrey . Jackson , along with Jim Hawk­ins and Gouthiere , pitched fairly well.

Coach AI Leviston admitted the Gators didn't play well, but his feelings toward the other games were different. "We played a good game and hit the ball well, but we made too many errors on defense," Leviston said referring to the Huntington game.

Following the Huntington game, the Gators were thrashed by Southwood 18-0 and pro­duced just one hit. Then the Gators were held hitless by Loyola in a 4-0 loss. As of this writing , Shreve has gone 16 consecutive innings without a run.

Golfers in green by Fred Holland Reporter

With the Shreve golfers having one tournament win and two match wins under their belts, golf coach Aldan Reeves is acting and talking with confi­dence.

Reeves predicts that the team will fare well this year with such standouts as Wade Brent and Jeff Cash, but is admittedly excited about years to come with such freshmen as Russell Adams, Ricky Archer, and Chris Bianca .

"We've got a great chance to win state in about two or three years if the team can average about 77 or 78 per player," says Reeves.

The Shreve baseball team is having its problems. Pictured here are catcher Bobby Nolte (left) and first baseman Carl Jackson (right), who along with the other players are frustrated at the slow start.

The Gators will not be hosting a tournament this year, even though they will be participating in five, and according to Reeves, "We should w in them all. Shreve is one of the best teams in the city."

Enterprise Top 10

Bush was named to the second team all-district team this year for her basketball ability.

The NCAA basketball season is nearing the end. It is no sur­prise to see North Carol ina at the top of the Enterprise poll once again. Surprisingly, LSU didn't get any first place votes. Arkansas has zoomed into the top 10 due to their victories over North Carolina and Houston .

Shreve tennis team fairs well, ,looks good,' says Hedges

We predict North Carolina is to take the tournament champ­ionship, but we would like to see DePaul win it since it is Ray Meyer 's last year as a coach.

Richie Roberts, Bert Allen, Scott Bates, Martin Lattier, Paul Washington, Kirk High, Steve Barnett and Brian Nesbitt are the top eight boys' tennis players at Shreve .

Lee Hedges, who has been the tennis coach since the sport was started at Shreve, says one reason the team will fare so well is because of the experience, especially in the boys division.

Hedges says with a smile, "It looks good - we've got a shot." And with the season just barely under way, it does look good for the Gators with a win over Longview (14-4) and a second place finish in the eight team Texas Tournament.

favorite activity - basketball. "I think basketball is the best way for me to utilize my time around Shreve," Bush said. Shreve seems to be right, as she has just made second team All-District. Terri has been playing basketball since she was in the fifth grade at St. Johns, where she started as a guard. Her statistics show that her time playing basketball has been well spent. Bush averaged 11 points a game in the district season, led in free throw per­centage, and was third in assists. Bush feels very good about playing at Shreve. "I feel proud when I wear a Captain Shreve uniform; we're fortunate to have such a good coaching staff."

Terri plans to play ball next year, probably starting as for­ward.

It would seem to be a super­human task to find time for all of her activities, but Terri pre­fers it this way. "My schedule is unbelievable, but I wouldn't have it any other way . I like being involved. Shreve has a lot of good extracurricular activi­ties that everyone can get in­volved in," she said. "I lik~ Shreve's well rounded curricu­lum."

Terri Bush is a person who can identify with well-roundedness, because along with her politics and basketball, she also pitches for her softball team, the "Brew Crew."

From Shorty

The Hedges still have what it takes, even after 1:15 by Lisa Norman and Macie Mcinnis Reporter and Editor-in-Chief

As we have po inted out in one of our first editions of the Enterprise , for teachers, thee is life after 2:15 , but who would believe that after spending all day teaching at the same school, married couples could actually enjoy themselves together for the rest of the day , as is the case with one well known married couple at Shreve?

Coach Lee Hedges, the only head football coach Shreve has ever known , and Nell Hedges, who has taught everything from shorthand to typing, will have been happily married for 30 years this. upcoming St. Pat­rick's Day, and for the majority of these years , they have worked together teaching at the same school .

"This day and time you don't see many couples who stay to­gether this long , " says Nell , and for a couple who works together as well , the strain on a marriage would seem to double. But then again , the Hedges are no average couple . "Couples have to do more things together and share more interests to make it last," is Nell's advice as Coach silently agrees. And many stu­dents know, one huge interest

that the Hedges share is dancing.

Imagine how surprising it would be to go to a place like Cowboys and spot your football coach and typing teacher con­trolling the dance floor as if they were one of your fellow class­mates . The Hedges do this just once in a while , but make it a weekend habit which they both look forward to throughout the week .

"He said he 'd never do it ," says Nell , speaking of dancing , but all it took was a few les­sons from Tommy Veillon, a former teacher at Shreve , to get him going .

On the other hand , they both enjoy hobbies that aren't equall y shared. For instance , Nell spends her spare time sewing , reading , ' shopping and sun­bathing, and she especially likes cooking. When asked her opinion on her cooking , she simply replied , " I am a good cook, " but Coach Hedges inter­rupted, "I'd ·say great cook!" When asked for his hobbies be­sides football, Hedges said, with less enthusiasm than his wife , " I am just a plain vanilla, but I do nap a little bit."

Seriously though, Coach has one hobbywhich he is very good at - tennis . This should not be

Service clubs 'open doors' by Marla Greenberg Journalism Class

About 140 Shreve students are spending 24,930 hours each year doing services for the community - and it isn't a punishment.

These students all belong to one of the four service clubs at Shreve: Key Club , Interact , Z Club, and Astra Club.

Who are these students? Most of the members of the clubs have at least a 2.5 grade point average and want to be­come more involved in school activities. 137 students com­prise the service clubs. Most admit there is a great deal of responsibility involved, but the clubs have been their open door to meeting new people and learning to help others.

The two boys' clubs are Key Club, an affiliate of the Ki­wanas , and Interact, an affiliate of Rotary . Key Club, sponsored by Jack Bogan, has about 35 members each year . "Last year for the semester , 44 hours of service was required for each member, " said Bogan. Interact, consisting of 30 members, re­quires that the students attend at least 70 percent of their

functions . The two girls' clubs are Z Club and Astra . Z Club , an affiliate of Zonta , and Astra, an affiliate of Altrusa, both have 36 members each and require 15 hours of service a semester .

Key Club members gain most of their hours through work with Sr. Margaret McCaffery. Z Club, sponsored by Georgia Lee, has a spring style show each year to benefit the Kidney Foundation . They also make and sell Christmas stockings at school. Astra, whose sponsor is Susan Thompson, sells Hallo­ween treats and has yearly fund raisers for the Heart Fund. Interact, sponsored by Martin Poole, had a Valentine 's Day

surprising considering Coach Hedges also coaches the Shreve tennis team. Mrs. Hedges admits , " I'm not a good tennis player ," but on the other hand , "I am , " says Coach with a laugh. It doesn 't seem to bother Mrs . Hedges that tennis is one thing they don 't often do to­gether . She even says jokingly , " I don 't get jealous when women or girls call up needing help with their tennis games. "

When asked why they enjoy teaching at Shreve, they answered , "We both enjoy being together at Shreve because we have a good relationship with the teachers and administration. "

" I live better by rules," Mrs . Hedges says , "and I like Shreve because under Miss McCalla, we know what we are supposed to do," she adds .

"I'm not that structured or as organized as she , but when it comes to the athletic depart­ment, I ' m pretty organized. You sorta have to 'be ," says Coach .

In reference to their plans after retirement , they said they plan on staying here. "Shreve­port is our home," Coach says . "Home" sonsists of two sons who both graduated from Shreve and LSUS. Another important mem­ber of their family may not be as human, but is equally loved. "Cat" , their 15-year-old cat is a very special part of their lives.

party for the children at Shriner's Hospital. Both girls' clubs at­tend the nursing home twice a mDnth , and Key Club is again sponsoring "Showboat '84," a talent show .

Why did these students join service clubs? Although there is a lot of responsibility involved, most students feel that these clubs are the best way to meet people and become more in­volved in school activities . One student said , "I know that there is a lot you have to do, but it's fun when you ' re with all of your friends . It also makes you feel special and important."

Most students who are not in a club and have never tried out said they did not have enough time to be in one. This seems I ike a reasonable response con-

sidering all the hours required to stay in a club. The clubs also all have attendence policies that require members to go to a certain number of functions or they will be removed from the club .

Even with all . the hours to build up, the service clubs aren't all work and no play. Key Club has an annual ski trip to Colorado and another to the Buffalo River in Arkansas. Last year, Interact had a toga party , and every year Key Club and Interact have a Spring Formal.

Key Club's president is Donnie Powell, and Peggy Falu­baum is Z Club 's leader. Bobby Nolte is president of Interact , and Elizabeth Harrison is Astra's president.

THE ENTERPRISE March 9, 1984

Students display children's books by Helen Haley Reporter

Shreve's creative writing class went to Riverside Elementary School during first and second hour on March 6 to read their children 's books to the children.

The students were required to come up with an original idea for their books and illustrations. The books had to be taken through all the steps of a real children's book, from printing or typing to the actual binding of the book. Even the less artistically gifted

were required to have artwork for their books. Some people got other members of their families to do the artwork, and others paired up with a member of the class who was more artistically inclined. Still other students did the artwork themselves.

Some of the topics were a dirty dog , a mad little boy, a boy with a magic paint brush, a king snake, a bunny with twenty­one big balloons, a little boy with a cardboard box, a boy who has

a wish, a boy who is afraid of the doctor and many others.

Many different mediums were used for the artwork. Some of the students used crayons, while others used colored penci Is, water colors and others.

The children's books were the first major project done in this half-year course. Dot Sibley, the teacher of this course, has been taking the students to a local elementary school to read their book to the children every year for about four years.

How smart are Shreve students? • by Margaret Lindanger

News Editor Just how knowledgeable are

Shreve students? From a recent questionnaire that tested general knowledge, 71 Shreve students appeared to be average .

For example, 83 percent of the students know that George Bush is the vice-president of the U.S. , while only 37 percent know that Bobby Freeman is the present Lt . Governor of Louisiana .

Only 45 percent of the stu­dents know that the book 1984 prophisizes the coming of "Big Brother" , even though it has been reported in the news and on television shows many times.

Another low 45 percent know what country the U .S. invaded in November, but a large majority of the students (82 percent) know that AIDS is a disease affecting the immunity system and is generally thought to be transmitted among homosexuals . This is the second highest per­centage recorded.

As a whole, 61 percent of the students answered the majority of the questions correctly. Sev­eral teachers from Shreve feel
