Have you noticed five new stu-'• dents roamang the halls with in

the last three weeks? Well, they were not here permanently, but were exchange students from Guatemala, Central America, vasatang Shreveport, The Louisi­ana Jaycees sponsored these students and the people they are staying with will in turn visit Guatamala and stay with a famaly there.

Whale visi tang Shreveport they -did such !hangs as visit a farm in Texas, where they had a wiener roast ; visit Barksdale A ir Force Base· take an excursion to Shreve Square, go to parties; take in sO'me skating; and one even had the experaence of going flying with Mrs. Helen Wray.

The students also went shop­ping at Southpark Mall of which they were totally amazed, and at Eastgate Shopping Center by Captain Shreve. One even splurged and bought $30 worth of albums. They also enJOY listen­ing to American rock music, especaally popular singing group Bachman Turner Overdrive. They did eat out a lot and enJOY the food here, although there are such places like " McDonald 's" and " Kentucky Fried Chicken" in Guatemala that also serve true Ameracan food.

rate, gymnastics, volleyball, pingpong, stamp collecting, mo­del airplane, playing the flute and guitar, and all seemed to be enthusiastic about girls

The school here is different from those in Guatemala in the way that here the students go to the classes, where as in Guate­mala, the teachers change class­rooms. One sa ad that ·'here the students are for the teachers, where there, the teachers are for the students." Three of the stu­dents are still in high school, while the other two are in col­lege, one studying Architecture and the other studying Business Administration.

~ Accordang to the exchange stu­dents Shreveport is ·'very pretty · When asked what they like best about Shreveport, all five Spanish speaking students replied " Downtown and the highways " Shreveport down­town is different from theirs be­cause there are so many over­passes, and they have only a few. The only thing they didn't like about Shreveport was the fact that we don't have mountains like they do.

Fa1~ure for absences How can it be fair?

On December 17th the Caddo Parish School Board will meet and vote on the subject of absenteeism in public schools. If the proposal concerning the amount of absences among students passes, chance are it will be met with much opposition.

In essence, the proposal states, "if a student has an excess of seven absences per nine weeks in any course he or she will not receive a passing grade in that course for the designated nine weeks."

State Law required the public school system to excuse students for personal illness, a religious holiday, death in the family or a serious illness among members of one's family. Yet, though these reasons will be considered ex­cused absences, they will also be included in the "no more than seven per nine weeks" absences.

Of course exceptions for more than seven absences will be..made providing a substantial reason is given. For example, if one was sick for two weeks it would be neces­sary to have a dostor's certificate stating he was sick. The same applies to a serious illness within one's family.

However, what major difference does the amount of absences make to anyone but the individual student? If he is forced or simply wants to miss eight days of school during one nine weeks, which is a.considerable amount of work to make up and he can handle it, why shouldn't he be allowed to miss those days without failure? And if a student stays home because he is sick, he has a right to get well - without possibly failing a course because he is absent. Sometimes there are those who stay home for the simple sake of just sleeping one day; but the day of school they miss is only lost to them - no one else.

Christmas -- any spirit left~ By Barbara Shanley

The true meaning of Chritmas? Where has it gone? Over the years the birth of Christ has turned into a hustling, bustling crowd of people hunting for the ideal gift at the ideal price. Those wise men really started some­thing, didn't they?

If we have time and temperance left after a fast and furious day of Christmas shopping, we should think about the true meaning of Christmas. We need to be thankful for what we have even though we might know for sure that we are not getting that favorite car we want for Christmas. Just think of the poverty-stricken people who have to hear their parents say "Santa isn't coming this year because he's out of money." Whatever we have we should consider ourselves lucky for that.

We have the power to make anything or break any­thing, so this year is the year to start spreading joy with smiles to replace frowns and be kind and not cruel.

Christmas, as most people know it, is a time of giving, but know a deeper meaning of the word "giving" than the perfume of aftershave gifts. The perfume will be used up, then thrown away, while the love and happiness are the true meaning of giving.

Dominic's offers tempting food By Allison Stage

Located at the corner of Spring and Texas in Shreve Square, Dominic 's Sandwich Shoppe is fast becoming one of the best places that one can find; e­specially for food such as sand­wiches and pizza.

Owner Dominic Cordaro has his turn at taking orders and cookmg, 1n betwen talkmg to cus­tomers and calling the gi rls " honey" . He has transformed Dipper Dan's into a truly fabu­lous eating establishment.

The food is delicious and the prices are not high. For instance, a nine-inch pizza runs from $1.25-$2.50. Po Boys, another favorite, are as follows. A ham po boy is $1.30, and a meatball is $1 .79, as is a submarine. They also offer many kinds of sand­wiches, all at more than reasona­ble prices .

For those who prefer a salad , Dominic' s also offers a wide va­riety ranging from $1 .25 for an Italian salad , to $2.00 for a chef salad . There is also a special X "fixin 's bar" that .,as many ex­tras to add to the salad at no ex­tra cost

The atmosphere at Dominic's is as good as the prices. Hand-

wr itten signs are all around , and more likely as not, they address you as ''cuz''.

I do not feel at all apprehen­sive in saying that Dominic 's should soon take over as one of the main places to go, after a game, shopping, or just walking around .

All letters must be signed by the author, but names will be witheld upon request. We reserve the right to edit any letters. Letters do not have to pertain to the editorial content of the paper.

THE ENTERPRISE

Dear Editor of the Enterprise, At a recent pep rally the stage

band performed for the student body. I have been going here for two years and wasn't even aware it existed . I was wondering why they have never performed for the student body. I've heard sev­eral rumors especially concern­ing the racial balance in the stage

By Allison Stage When I was little , a trip to

Santa was a big event. I would sit on his lap and tell him all of my "wants" for Christmas. One year, when I was about 5, my grandfather was the local Santa. Neither I nor my 2-year old sister knew it. She sat screaming and I said , loud enough for anyone who wasn ' t deaf to hear, "You have a ring just like my grand­pa! " All the poor man could do was say, "HO,HO,HO,!" And I never could understand why he left in~ helicopter.

Anway , I would ask for the normal things, a doll , a sled -you know, th ing like that. What amazes me is the things kids ask for today:

An Evel Kneivel motorcycle An elephant A " real " magic set A trip to Santa's house A subscription to SCIENCE MAGAZINE A Robot A Robert Redford doll

and other things that I never ev­en knew existed .

Other things have changed, too . Now they have pink Christ­mas trees, and g1rs hang up hose instead of Christmas socks for Santa to fill.

I 'm still a kid when i t comes to Christmas and I find that it's almost as much fun watching them as it was being one. See Ya.

band. Aren't we trying t.o avoid discrimmati'on? I think 1t's time the wh1tes received the same fa ir treatment as blacks.

A Band Fan

Dear Editor, A few days ago the cafeteria

had fish sandwiches that were all pre-made with tartar sauce. Many students were asking for sandwiches without tartar sauce. I think if they have to pre-make sandwiches, they could at least make some without tartar sauce. And this goes for all the things they make in the cafeteria.

Jeff Willis

Editor 's Note: There will be some pre-made fish sandwiches under the counter without tartar sauce. Students must ask for these if sa desired.

GARY BUTLER FEELS QUITE AT HOME behind the piano in the cas auditorium.

Butler enjoys Beethoven By Susie Thomas

There are people who play an instrument for fun and those who play an instrument so well that they are able to do someth ing with it. Gary Butler is such a per­son .

Butler has studied piano un-

der Dr. Robert Blickner, a pro­fessor at Centenary, for four years, and has won acclaim throughout the state for his clas­sical style.

On December 10th, the service club visited the Louisiana Nur­sing Home. Another party with Z Club's PALS was held the 13th, also. Special activities th is month are concerned wtth the obser­vance of Chnstmas. Members will be selling Christmas stock­ings to the student body in the early part of the month and plans have been made to decorate the entrance foyer with a Christ­mas tree, stocktngs, and other yuletide embellishments.

Every member was asked to sell twenty of the directories , which were on sale during the latter part of last month . Accord­ing to Interact vice-president , Jon Wallace, " the Gator Lists were originally a fund-raising project , but now have become a school service project , as wel l.

Find A Word

The CS senior enJOYS playing Mozart and other music of the old masters on his baby grand piano at home. Currently But­ler is accompanying the school choir and spends the rest of his t ime studying for school , rea­ding, and practicing for several reci tals he will have during the spring. He has a reci ta l coming up in March for the Haynesville Mus1c Club and a local rec1tal in April for the Shreveport area at Hurley Music Bui lding at Centenary .

DirectfJr's rfJie is hardest fJf all, says Mrs. Cassell

FRENCH stude.nts recently learn: ed ;a three-step Cajun dance. Pic· tured above is the outcome of taking the third step before the second.

By Barbara Shanley " Putting on a play takes a lot

of work", says Mrs. Rebecca Cassell, a new drama and speech teacher.

First the director has to select the play and make it a specific type such as a satire, tragedy, fantasy or whatever . He has to be careful how the people are in that area and find something they will approve of and enjoy. Next he has to be sure to pick appropri­ate, dedicated people to perform the parts . If he picks a play that is highly sophisticated and with many long parts , it is probably that high school students would not present it as well as a satire or humorous play.

Also the director needs to be discrete and choose a play which includes controversial topics of that day, something universal .

Besides the director there are various crews such as prop, costumes, and special effects

SOUTHFIELD PLAZA AT YOUREE DRIVE SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA 71105

which no play can do without. Props are gathered from every­where- families, friends , stores , workshops, and anywhere they can find them. Costumes are either made, bought or borrowed for the cast.

Practice also plays a big role in all productions. H igh school stu­dents usually rehearse six days a week for 3-4 hours each day. Actors must be dedicated and ready to work or else they will be replaced .

Without crews, props, cos­tumes, and director, Mrs. Cas­sell wou ldn't have been able to put on "The Grass Harp" which was given December 11 , 12, 13.

According to initial plans , the Shreve Gator, in green and gold, will appear on the insignia.

This patch was made possible as the result of a commitment made by Mr. and Mrs. Joe T . Carter, Sr., to purchase the ini­tial patches in memory of per­sonel assigned to the 8225 MASH un it that served during the Korean War.

Stimulating senses cure boredom By Don Jernigan

Everyone, without exception, has been bored with something at some time. Scientific evidence indicates, in fact that an average person is stricken with boredom, in varying degrees, several times each day.

Everyone, also without ex­ception, has at one time or another sought a means of con­quering boredom. In examining these methods, one may easily arrive at several different classi­fications, each requiring dif­ferent skills, thinking patterns, and states of mind.

For 1nstance, at a teacher 's first mention of some totally un­interesting top1c, the chronic thrill-seeker becomes bored and simultaneously glances at the clock. The next move is generally to begin counting the holes in the ceiling, disassembling his pen , or fall flat on his face and sleep. Another typical habit of un­interested people is to draw meaningless sketches on blank notebook paper.

Anyone with a probing, logical mind will immediately realize that this is not an answer. Cer­tainly not. Performing these

time-wasting exercises does not take one's mind off boredom, but leads to a deeper, more restless boredom. More importantly, these acts tend to distract a tea­cher, which greatly increases the teacher's probability of asking the subject clever, loaded ques­tions.

This deduction should lead the possessor of the probing , logical mind to assume that there are more effective yet less distract­ing means of escape from bore­dom They are, in the termino­logy of practiced and successful escapists, called Mind games.

The first of these devices is commonly referred to as sensory escapism. Th is mvolves quite a bit of concentration if it is to be practiced successfully, since its ObJective is to excite the senses with the use of existing stimuli. A relatively easy application of sensory escapism is developing h1s ability to hear low-volume noises A beginner would be wise to listen for such sounds as those coming from the air conditioner or the hall.

A CS ENGLISH ClASS shows signs of boredom as they scan their brains for something to think ubout.

Very competent disciples of sensory escapism claim they can even hear voices hundreds of yards away. However, one should exercise the caution, in usmg th1s device, of never letting the imagination create voices. There are certain terms for peo­ple who hear non-existent voices and certain institutions full of these people.

A favori te technique of esca­pists is referred to as phys1cal awareness escapism is closely related to sensory escapism. The major difference is that physical awareness escapism involves the use of the power of autosugges­tion , a form of hypnosis.

Gators travel at Christmas

Three Captain Shreve stu­dents, Susan , Mary, and Laurie Moffett, along with their mother, left Saturday for Saudi Arabia to visit their father and friends.

Mr. Moffett is an oil man and has lived in Saudi Arabia for 28 years. The girls and their mother moved to the United States about three years ago so that they could continue their education. They go back every Christmas and summer so that the whole family can be together.

According to Susan , the whole family was born in Saudi Arabia except for Mary, who was born in the states. When asked about the differences between Arabia and the United States, Susan stated that movie houses and theaters are illegal there, television is on only from 4:30 pm. to 10:00 pm. and there are no color televi­sion sets. She also said that alco­hol is illegal even though most people have their own stills in their homes.

Shreve science teachers were introduced to the game by a film presented by SWEPCO. The film used a New York high school to demonstrate how the game is played.

Each student was given a pic­ture of a small community. This community consisted of forests, farmlands, lowlands, wetlands, rivers and the inner city. The purpose of the game is to select the best site for an electnc com­pany in that community.

The class was divided into four groups: electric power company officials; conservation and en­vironment; commerce, industry and professions; and residents. The groups researched the pos­sibilities by using site selection criteria sheets and site informa­tion sheets. The research lasted for one week, and on the last day the class voted to decide on the site.

Mrs. Sm1th feel The Energy­Environment Game teaches a very useful lesson. She says, ''The game prepares students to cast an educated and realistic vote when they become a mem­ber of society."

The most effective way to des­cribe th1s technique is to give an example and , if the reader will kindly excuse the temporary shift from third to second person , an example I shall give. Now, pay attention the next paragraph .

For the entire time you have been reading this article you have more than likely been totally unaware of the existence of your left foot. Now, with the mere mention of the words "left foot '', your left foot feels some­what awkward , perhaps it feels warmer than the rest of your body. If you are wearing shoes , your foot may feel slightly con­stricted or cramped. It works, doesn ' t it?

And with that , I revert to the third person. There are many, many more methods of lessening boredom but, in the interest of the reader's time and the au­thor 's growing lack of ink, there are not any more listed in this art icle.

If, per chance these methods fail to bring relief from boredom, perhaps it is best to just pay at­tention to the boring teacher and try not to look bored .

SHOP STUDENTS AND TEACH ER, Mercules Chretian, look on as Allison Stage uses saw.

Shop proves to be man's world There has never been a g.rl to

sign up for a class in " Shop." So what? Better story, right? A girl can do anything a guy can do, right? Hammer a few nails, use all that automatic eqUip­ment? Anything. Easy? That re­mains to be seen.

We walked mto the shop w1th confidence that we could conquer the man's world (or at least a hammer and some nails) and were immediately put to work by Merculus Chretian. the teacher. Our project? A ship made out of wood.

The first step was to trace to form of the ship onto the wood. That part was easy enough. Then came the table saw which we both declined to use. We had a little fun in attempting to cut out the pieces with the band saw. "It's like drawmg," they told us, but our was rather crooked.

The next step was sanding and then came nailing thousands of tiny little nails around the ship.

The sails were parabolic curves made of string and the ship was varnished to look nice.

The guys in the shop were re­ally super to us and went out of the.r way to help, and , to tell the truth, they did quite a good job on our ship!

The students that weren't helping us were a little put off, because we were slow and mono­polized the machines As a re­sult, they didn't get to finish their own projects.

Basically Chretian assigns the shop students some projects to do, but they are allowed to go off and do what they want. At the beginnmg of the year, they learn safety procedures, and how to use all the different machines, and then they start on the pro­jects The cost for the class is $4 for the whole year, and this in­cludes everything

The students like the class be­cause it is a more permissive than most and gives them skills to use later on .

EUGENE SANDERS, MICHAEL WEST and Chretian show Allison Stage how to use a hammer.

Two cities have specials; Shreveport has nothing

Mood rings 'Mystical'

By Allison Stage When Christmas rolls around,

Shreveport makes a half-hearted effort to decorate our city with a few strands of tinsel and lights here and there and cracktng plasttc Santas. remdeer, and snowmen. There is nothmg, how­ever, to draw crowds of people from all over, as there is in two smaller Loutstana ctties, Ruston and Natchttoches

In Ruston , the btg Chnstmas event ts the Temple Baptist Church Singtng Christmas tree. The " tree'', is held annually on December 10,11, and 12 in the parkmg lot of the Temple Baptist Church

The tree itself ts a pyramtdal structure with rows of catwalks all around the perimeter. Smgers from choirs such as the Temple­Tech Choir, the local Jr. High choir, and Temple Baptist Church 's Chotr hne these cat­walks and smg Christmas carols , thus givtng the effect of a " Sing­ing Christmas tree". Over 200 choir members are involved at least as many more are involved in the complicated preparatton .

Thts singing Chnstmas tree is one of a very few of its kind in the Untied States. It was the idea of the Temple Baptist Church's Mintster of Mustc 3 years ago , and has since drawn thousands of people.

In additton to stngmg, wmter scenes and nativity scenes are deptcted through the projection of slides and art work. Lightmg changes , handballs and other In­

strumental accents all enhance the beauty of the Tree.

THIS SHOT of the Christmas dec· orations on Milam Street is rep­resentative of Shreveport's Christ­mas Spi rit.

Projects decided History Club had their Christ­

mas party at Judy Hibbard's house from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. on December 10.

They also agreed to money rai­sing projects such as selling crates of oranges and grapefruit and selling Bicentennial jewelry. They will be selling these things before Christmas in order to have money for club projects later in the year.

Ltght ing lor tllummatton and spectal elects IS provtded by spot lights, flood lights and some 400 multicolored flashing light bulbs and the effectts very good.

This smgtng Chnstmas tree truly outshmes anythmg that Shreveport has to offer, and Natchitoches has somethmg I feel to be even supenor.

One ot the newest fashion "crazes ' recently hilling Shreveport has been the intro­duction of "mood rings." Priced anywhere from $5 to hundreds of dollars, these rings supposedly reveal to others what kind of mood the wearer IS in by the dif­ferent colors it changes to.

Basi~lly, the ring works on the heat of the hand it is on , but it ts the. mystic attached that gtves the mood nng rts appeal.

The btg parade 1n Natchitoches starts at 2:00, and thousands line the streets to vtew 1t. Included of different schools (Captam Shreve was not among them, by the way, but Southwood, Booker T , and Byrd were there) ROTC untts. and pep squads from all over the state. Also there were various politicians of whtch Sen. J . Bennett Johnston was the best received .

''THE SINGING CHRISTMAS TREE", a 250-member choir from Ruston, sings to the public during one of their three-night per­formances.

Black, the base color. means that the wearer IS tn a terrible mood, in a slump, and full of an­xtety. The next color, a sort of reddtsh amber. says that one is very anxtous and irntable Green means that the wearer is in neu­tral state, not too anxious, but not completely happy

After the parade, there were concerts performed by rock groups, folk groups, and dif­ferent easy music groups whtch offer entertamment until it gets dark. Finally the mam event are the fireworks, and of course, the ltghts. The fireworks are among the best I've seen , and, just as the fireworks are endmg and al­most but not qutte forgotten a­bout , the lights are suddenly turned on and the river turns into a colorful beauty of lights.

CS basketball season begins; team ·tries hard

NUMBER 33 pushes off the ground to roa ke two points.

Lake Charles CS's b-ball team participated

in the Lake Charles American Press Tournament on December 4th and 5th.

The Gators downed Sulpur 66 to 56 but lost 78-62 to Lake Charles High.

In the Sulphur game the Ga­tors got the lead in the first quarter and held the lead through out the game, as they were lead by Scott and Wiggins who had 18 points and 15 points respectively . Mike Miller had a game high of 11 . Danny Ma­lone was the only other Gator in double figures with 10.

On the following night the Ga­tors got double figure scoring from Danny Malone with 15, Fred Wigg1ns at 11, Jerry Scott 10, and Mike Miller 10. But despite th1s the Gators fell be­fore the powerful Lake Charles High team which got tremendous individual efforts from individual members of their team. This de­feat dropped CS season record to 5-6.

Minden Minden Crimson Tide rolled

over the Gators 67 to 45. The Gators lead at the end of

the first quarter 15-14. The se­cond quarter however the Tide lead 32-22. In the third Quarter the Gators tried hard to come back but Minden again lead at the end of the quarter 49 to 32. The Tide stretched their lead in the fourth quarter to 22 points, with the final score 67 to 45.

As far as the players go there 1s a father-son, coach-player two­some that Shreve has. If you haven't guessed it by now, It's Coach Billy Wiggins and statmg senior. Freddy Wiggins. " He's harder on me than anyone else probably, "replied Freddy when as'<ed ab(Jut spec1al priveleges from hiS dad .

Have you ever noticed the CS coach with the big puffy cheek? Well that's Coach Wiggins and hils chewing tobacco. Does the old say1ng "like father, like son·· apply to chewmg tobacco? "No way," answers Freddy.

"We usually go in the locker room at 2 p.m. and get dressed and out on the court by 2:20. Then we practice hard until 4:30 or 5 p.m. On days before a game we pract1ce for about an hour and then there's no practice on game days, "Freddy sa1d.

Table tennis buff retires By Barbara Shanley

Who could do one thing for six hours of every day? Well playing table tennis was Tim Parker's six-hour thing before he retired.

finals they play two out of three games lor the winner, while semis and finals are three out of five. When the score IS 1-1, tied, the players take a rest then con­tmue w1th the match.

Now Tim has retired except for the Detroiter Nationals and has taken up tennis. "I like tennis better than table tenms any­way, .. sa1d T1m and he's going to play for Captain Shreve in the spring. Tim will certainly be an asset to out team because of all his experience with both table tennis and tennis tournaments.

T im IS a fourteen-year-old who moved to Shreveport from Dal­las. Tim also won the Nationals and IS presently third 1n the nation in table tennis. Before he moved to Shreveport, he prac­ticed at the Irving Table Tennis Club, in Dallas. T im has both played and refereed matches since he was 10 years old. On November 27, Tim is going to Oklahoma City to play in the Detroiter Nationals. Gators lose last close match Kay· won the SCiuthern Cham­

The Captain Shreve 1975 foot­oall team was put out of commis­sion November 13 in the State Fair Stadium by the Fair Park In­dians The final scores were the same but Fa1r Park took the t1tle on first downs.

On the Gators first play, Ken­ny Philibert threw a comb to Greg Steglich who broke away from his coverage for a 36-yard gain down to the 9.

Four plays later, however, af­ter Philibert was sacked for a seven-yard loss, Mark Roberts kicked wide left on a field goal try.

The next time, when the Ga­tors got the ball on their own 39, Philibert kept on a draw and gained 15 yards across m1dfield before bemg tackled.

The very next play, !:iteglich took a handoff from Philibert then passsed to Ronnie Bailey near the sideline, a play good for 39 yards before he was shoved out of bounds on the 7.

Runnmg back John Mosley scored on a run on the next play, but Shreve was called lor holding and was dnven back to the 23.

Two plays later Philibert threw to Steglich in the end zone and Shreve scored.

(Editor's note: This is the con­cluding segment of a two-part series on Transcendental Med­itation. In this article -- the ef­fects of TM in your life.)

Wouldn't 1t be nice to spend twenty minutes, twice a day, in total relaxation? And following this "total relaxation," you would find yourself less nervous, calmer and a little more prepared to face the day? Advocates of TM say th is is exactly how you will feel after practicing TM.

TM is a simple technique which is actually just sittir>g quietly with eyes closed while re­peating a mantra. A mantra is a word given to a student of TM by his instructor to help relax him. As th~student " meditates" on this word the experience of TM begins.

The experience of TM differs from person to person, yet, according to mstructor Rick Lehrbaum at the Shreveport TM center, nearly everyone benefits from it. Your thoughts flow and then it (the experience) just happens," he says. Lehrbaum also states that TM will make you more aware of people, surround­ings, and everyday occurences.

Another aspect of TM is the result it has on your health , both physical and mental. Lehr­baum says since ''doctor's agree that 85% to 90% of all sickness is psychosomatic, caused by stress, and when the stress is removed -- by TM -- the illness, more often than not, disappears. Besides curing illnesses caused by nerves or stress, TM also has in some cases improved respira­tion.

Proponents of TM agree that it helps everyone, whether or not everyone enrolls in the pro-

gram. According to Maharishi Mahesh Yog1, who appeared on the Merv Griffin Show on Nov. 28, " If only 1% of the population is meditating, then the other 99% will feel good effects and crime will be reduced. " He adds, "If 5% meditates great things will really begm to happen."

Some people have misconcep­tions about TM. It is not a reli­gion, exercise or special diet. While meditating, one does not necessarily sit in an unusual position clothed in white robes. ''We meditate in chairs,'· com­ments Lehrbaum .

Maybe TM is not the answer to your problems, hassles and everyday upsets. But from the overwhelming response it has received , TM must have some­thing and it is definitely here to stay.

MEDITATING is now one of Rick Le hrbaum's daily adivities, thanks to the TM program.

Office girls type, help Besides Mrs. Joanne Good­

win, there are many student of­fice workers that help with every­day chores.

First period workers are Sher­ry Ebarb, Sonia Luce , Betty Sum­mers and Sherry Harrington. These girls have several jobs like picking up absentee cards, and distributing the mail.

Second period, everyone be­gins by attempting to clear the counter and then begin typing the absentee sheet. After that they begin calling absentees to to see where everybody is that 's not at school. A lso they must handle all check-ins and outs. These girls include Flora Wil ­liams, Beth Pitts , Debra Caw­thorn , and Tracey Townsend.

Third period girls, which are Edna Bradley and Vera Mitchell, clear the counter and continue calling absentees and the same with fourth period. These stu-

dents workers are Cheryl Cantin, Debbie LaBoeff, Susan Smith , and Sharon Graves.

Fifth period, the afternoon sheet has to be typed from the check-in and check-out books. The workers are Melinda McCoy and Judy Montelepre.

Sixth period workers, Cathy Summers and Cathy Carter , go over the absentee sheets mark­ing those excused and un­excused. They also duplicate the copies.

All these girls help Mrs. Good­win tremendously by running errands, taking messages, answering phones, and doing odd jobs. Without them M rs. Goodwin and the faculty would be lost.

'Fritz' enio=ys motors, travel By Ingrid Cireno

Seen Elton John walking a­round CS lately? You may think you have. but that's really Thomas Patrick Fitzgerald, Ill (How Irish can you get?), Shreve's Sociology, American Government , and General Bus1ness teacher this year.

Although many think he re­sembles Elton, Fitzgerald doesn't particularly like him, claiming, "He's not really r ich. He only makes $7 million a year." Not only do people say he looks like Elton , Fitzgerald has been called every "Fitz" (Fitzgibbons, Fitzmorris, Fitzpa­trick) except Fitzgerald, and re­cently his first hour class has' been calling him "Fritz" (This drives him BANANNAS).

"I'm not German!" insists the French-Irish former police­man, who worked in New Orleans and often reminfsce a­bout life on. the police force. He's known for straying off the subject quite often and telling about such things as his high-school days at Jesuit and how bad corporal punishment was.

Among h1s favorite hobbies are motorcycles, of wh1ch he has two a BMWR-69US and a Honda 504 , on wh1ch he had an accident a little over a month ago resulting in badly scraped wrists and a bruised side. Also CiJCar fanatic, Fitzgerald says he "never really grew up because of them." He can often be seen in his spare time engrossed in such mag­azines as Car Dr iver.

t eS have changed since ~as By Holly Defoy

··Hey Helen Y.a· wanna come to the m1dmght show Jamboree with me ton•ght? It's down at the Strand. ya· know I even heard the Gold Bugs are gonna per­form What do ya say? ·

Mrs Helen Wray. CS Engl1sh teacher and 1938 graduate of Byrd H1gh School. says I'm the only teacher 10 the school who doesn t m10d revealing my age•·· Bes1des that. she doesn' t m10d revealing lots of 10terest10g deta•ls about high school 10 the 1930's.

In 1938. the Skyline Room of the washmgton-Youree Hotel could be found packed with guys decked out 1n their tuxedos along w•th their Blue Tnangle Club gals-arrayed in long , flow­lOg formals and bright-colored corsages almost any weekend .

Formal part1es topped the so­c•al agenda m the 30's K ids dancmg the " Suzy a ·· or " Big Apple·· romped over the dance floor every weekend . Tagg10g was used to swap dance partners maybe 50 limes 1n one n1ght.

Sometimes a party called a · Merry M ix-Up · was thrown. This t1me the g•rls took over. They invited the boys, p1cked up thei r dates. paid for the evenmg and led the tagging at the dance.

Another "" blast " was the ten days before Chris tmas . A formal dance was held every night and •ncluded engraved Invitations and corsages On Sunday a Ger­man Dance last10g from m1d­n1ght until 4 a m . was held . ·"The only problem with ten stra1ght nights of dancing was that everyone had the flu the first two weeks of January, " Mrs. Wray sa1d.

A 0 T C was a big thing 10 1938. too Girls dreamed of being an A 0 T C. sponsor. It was al­most as exc1ting as bemg a sorority member. Sororities and fratermties existed in high schools back then, but were outlawed because of discrimina­tion . Mrs Wray comments, " I guess we were a little snobby!"

1938 high school students' appearance was somewhat more sophisticated than ours is today . Gi rls wore below-the-knee length skirts, blazers. sweaters and scarves Does that sound famil­iar?

As for boys , t1es and sweaters were the "in" thing. They con­Sidered themselves real ·'gentle­men! "Whathappened?

SO' s no different

T-shirts reveal ego, hobbies, musical taste

Bas1c th10gs , like boys, d idn ' t change drastically from 1938 to 1957, but Henry Sherman, Jr., CS small gas engines teacher, remarks , '"Boys then (i n the SO's) were more interested 10 gi rls than today. Having a " steady" was a status symbol.''

In 1938, boys tried to impress girls by courtesy, but in 1957, guys Impressed gals by the " tough , cool" image. They cre­ated gangs such as the chain gang and the Tams . " Redneck" was the name of the game.

By Gloria Pena Watch out T-sh1rt wearers of

Amenca• You may reveal your personality, mterest, or tastes to people w1thout even real izing it.

Haven I you ever just looked at someone and automatically had an 1mpress1on about that person? You probably don't realize this , but you most likely got that Im­pression by the T -shirt that he or she was wearing . That happens many times For example: a boy who wears aT-sh irt adver­tising some kind of beer , IS usually considered to l1 ke to drink and have fun

Lately several students have worn T-shirts around school. I've been try1ng to analyze what a person IS like by the impression I get from the T-shirt he or she is wean"g Such as the one say1ng " Be a Human Bean " worn by Mark Germany, with a picture of a Del Monte string bean beside it. From this sh•rt one would th1 nk him as a joker or a person who likes to get a lot of laughs.

" Connelly Skis", written on a T-shirt with a picture of a person skiing , was worn by David Con­nell . More than likely he enJOYS

water skiing and probably owns this brand of ski.

Another T-shirt fan, often wears a purple Led Zepplin T-shirt, with a picture of the group on front. Shirts adver­tising groups, albums, and land­marks are some of the most popular.

Also quite popular are T-shirts with ''Captain Shreve Pep Squad ". " Francais", " Espa­nol' '. and other school related or­ganizations written on them.

There have been people wear­ing T-shirts saying "Go to Hell World, I 'm a Senior", Dixie National Karate", " Let 's Boogie", "All Star Basketball ", "Your Pad or M10e" , " Okla­homa" , " Hands Off ", and " Howdy Doody". Some have been wearing pictures of motor­cycles, rock groups, land­scapes, the pink panther and other cartoons .

If you look around the halls, you'll see T-shirts everywhere. So, from now on you better ''Watch Out! ·' because you never know, your T-shirt may be talking about you behind your back.

Parties were also frequent in the SO's but informal sock-hops were the places to go. The dance floor shook w1th Platter tunes and Chuck Berry swmgs, and dances like the " Swing " and the "Cha-Cha" were pounded out.

Maybe the biggest rage was the " Heaven and Hell " part1es. K ids drew tickets that said e•ther heaven or hell. Hell meant chili tor the t1cket holder, and heaven meant ice cream and cake.

A few other crowd-gathering activities were mov1es , street­skating and sports Football drew the biggest crowd in Sher­man's school , but in small towns, g1rls' basketball was pop­ular.

Jeans, V-neck sweaters, let­ter-Jackets, and crew cuts were typical for boys in the SO's, and girls with thdir bright red lip­stick, can-can skirts and bobbie socks rolled dowA below the an­kles were the " foxiest," accord­mg to Sherman. Some of the most romantic scenes took place over a soda at the corner drugstore or better yet, at "Inspiration Point. "

A long way

JACK WILLIAMS, Mark Heacock, Stephanie Johnson, David Con· nell and Mark Germany model T-shirts thtey enjoy wearing .

Today the high school scene is kind of like those of the SO's or 30's in some ways. K1ds still dance and date. But the dances last about three hours at the most. Instead of sodas,liquor quenches the thirst of many 1975 young people. Faded , torn 1eans and " big" dresses decorate our halls instead of dress pants and ties.

We 've come a long way? You better believe it!

Do you know anthem, pledget By Mary Hoeflinger

How many of you people reading this article could stop right now and without looking, recite the " Pledge of Alle­giance" and the " Star-Spangled Banner"?

After taking a survey from a few classes at CS, the Enter­prise staff discovered statistically that out of 111 papers turned in, only 48 students knew the entire " Pledge" and only 18 knew the entire " Star-Spangled Banner."

A lthough many students missed the pledge by only a few words or lines, such as in this one: " I pledge a legence to the flag of the United States of A­merica to God and my country to do my best. ·'

Or this one where the person tried to combine both the pledge of A lleg1ance and the national anthem, and came up with: "I pledge all alegence to the U . S. marines , purple mountains , magical , the bombing stars a­bove, hoe say if you can see the

Though many had the right 1dea, few knew exactly how the national anthem goes as is shown in the followmg: Oh say can you see by the dawn's early l ight, what so proudly we held by the twilights last gleammg , and the rockets bled air, stars bust ing in the air gave through to the night that our flag was still here.''

For those of you who are not among the ones who could recite the Pledge of Allegiance and Star-Spangled Banner, here is your chance to learn them in time for the Bicentennial year.

" Pledge of Allegiance": pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of American and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God , indivisible with liberty and jus­t ice for all.

" The Star-Spangled Banner"· Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light , What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous flight O'er the ramparts we watch were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in a•r gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Alcohol affects all ages 'Pet r ck' hits U.S. li e bomb By Kathy Wolfe

(Editor 's Note: T his is the f i rst part of a series on alcoholism that deals w ith the disease and i ts Symtoms. ) Facts and statis­tics were found in pamphlets compiled by the Caddo-Bossier Council on A lcoholism.

Atcoholtsm remmds most peo­ple of a skid row bum with a bottle of cheap wtne. But sta tis­tiCS show that only 5% of all alco­hOliCS actually f1t tn this cate­gory

The average alcoholic is a man or woman. s1ngle or married , nch. poor. or middle class. a teacher or factory worker. doctor or a used cars salesman. mmtster or dockhand. a housewtfe or screen star. It can be anyone at any age. for alcholism has no boundanes~ It can and will strike any race. ereed or nationality.

There are 9 mtllton alcoholics in thts country and alcoholism will affhct one tn twelve thts year.

Chances are. the alcoholic be­gan h1s drinking tn high school; maybe a few beers after a foot­ball game, or JUSt a couple of drinks on the weekend . It all seems perfectly harmless at first. but alcoholism is a progres­sive illness Covering a period of a short 15 months up to 15 years the alcoholic goes from a few beers to a couple of stx packs to heavy daily dnnking. He becomes more dependent on the drug. both phystcally and psy­chologically, unttl he's complete­ly addtcted . H owever, more than likely. he doesn't know he is an alcoholic. Accordtng to Mrs. H R Sctvally, from the Caddo­Bosster Counctl on Alcoholism. "the1r is an invisible line be­tween social drinking and alco­holism.' · Once the alcoholic has crossed this line, the dtsease cannot be stopped wtthout treat­ment And without t reatment , hts future ts pretty bleak.

Symptoms recognized Some of the earliest symptoms

can be recognized by the alco­holic's feeling that par ties aren't complete without ltquor and more frequently the need "for a drink" to relieve tensions. A lso. when the indtvtdual has the ability to handle more than others and blackouts begin .

B lackouts, " comments Mrs. Sctvally. .. is when an aicoholic can t remember parts of the evemng --though he didn't pass out "

As the tllness progresses. the alcoholic ' s heavy liquor con­sumption becomes more notice­able to others and he begins to resent comments concernmg his drink1ng. Gulptng dnnks though, he unsucessfully promises him­self to try to cut down. Some­t imes he even prefers drinking to eating

Fmally, when the illness has matured to tis most severe stage. the alcoholic gets dr unk on less alcohol. but the length of his dnnking bouts mcrease A s he dnnks more. he feels de­p ressed, gui lty, and even sick. He neglects eating and the fears and anxiety alcohol has created make it imposible, he believes for him to get going at any time Without a d r ink .

So there you have all the thmgs that got the idea off the ground-a bar, money for the proper advert is­ing, and the ignorance of the general public T hese are all this man needed to become nch beyond his dreams.

Having now sold over one mil­lion rocks-1 mean "pets " ­this dreamer has about 1.5 mil­lion standing orders with more pouring tn every day.

The pet rocks are sh ipped f rom Mexico by the tons and currently two assembly lines, with plans for two more, are producing these pets by the thousands. The domestic creatures are packed in small boxes w tth a few holes, probably so they won' t smother.

Selling for $4 each, the pet rocks come complete w ith tra in­ing instructions. Its owner says th is is truly a " per fect pet. " • It tsn' t messy; 11 takes no time or money for food or feed ing ; i t can be taught to roll ove if placed on a steep hill ; and when reaching t he bottom, it wi ll p lay dead? This ts supposedly one of ti s better tricks because it doesn t move a muscle. It 's also such a cute th ing lying on the windowsill while sunning . The pet can even be dragged around on a leash if you care to carry 11 wherever you go.

If you haven ' t received your " perfect" pet , you 'd better do so, because this is surely a once -in a lifet ime chance.

Oh yes, i f anyone would l ike to g tve a home to an orphan whose name is " Wally Walnut ," let me know.
