Sophomore Terri Bush will travel to Orlando, Florida, in August to represent Louisiana as one of the winners of the prestigious Hugh 0' Brien Award, for a one week seminar at Disney World's Epcot Center.

Bush won the Hugh 0' Brien Award March 27 in Baton Rouge, where all the nominees met for a leadership seminar. She was judged and chosen by counselors on participation in discussions and interest that dealt with leadership roles, from a group of 140 boys and girls from Lou­isiana.

Junior Don Middleton received first place in dramatic interpretation at the Louisiana Speech Tournament of Champions in Alexandria, La. on March 24-26.

Middleton will now be one of the Louisiana representa­tives attending the national Forensics League Tournament in Kansas City, Mo. on June 12-17.

Middleton performed a piece from E.M. Corders movie, The Deer Hunter, depicting the honors of the· Vietnam War. The category Middleton placed in involves one person playing two or more characters from the scene.

At the national tournament, Middleton will be com­peting against other students, who have first place at state in one of the various categories.

lena leviston Lena Leviston, Clerical Office Education (COE) teacher

at Shreve, was recently awarded the Educator of the Year Award in the senior high division by the Caddo Association of Educators (CAE).

Judy Langley, senior English teacher, was named runner-up in the senior division.

The teachers were selected for this award after they were nominated by a CAE member. They then filled out a resume and a special screening committee selected the winners .

The resume that the nominees filled out consist of seven specific areas: a personal biography, degrees, certi­fication and awards received in the past three years, pro­fessional involvement, including educational travel, semi­nars and workshops attended in the past year, and a written description of their personal philosophy of education.

~Prom set The 1983 Junior-Senior Prom

will be held from 9 p.m.- 1 a.m. on April 29, at the Progressive Men's Club, with the band Innovations kicking off the evening.

This year's prom court in­cludes juniors Duke Ehrhardt, Bobby Nolte, Annette Atkins, and Kelly Faour, and seniors Clay Bretches, Robert Martina, Cedric Thomas, Monique Adams , Ann Martina, and Michelle Tedford. Prom king and queen will be announced at the prom.

The projected cost for spon­soring the dance is $2,100, which includes refreshements , party favors, and awards for the prom court.

Tickets are available from any junior class officer or at the door for $6 a couple. Pictures will be taken by Cowen Studio for $15. (The package includes 2-5x7's, and 8 wallet size.)

Editors-in-chief of newspaper, L'Esprit named last night

Junior Balke Kaplan was named next year's editor-in­chief of The Enterprise, and juniors Sonya Brantley and Jenny Keith were named co­editors of Shreve's literary magazine, L 'Sprlt at an an­nouncement party last night.

Other students selected to join the editorial staff of the school newspaper were Linda Ledbetter and Macie Mcinnis, advisory board members who will work jointly with Kaplan in planning all stages of the publi­cation; Margaret Li ndanger, news editor; Elizabeth Spaht, feature editor; Scott Pohlkamp,

sports editor; and Kathy Willis, business editor for the second year.

Reporters, those whose main responsibility will be writing stories, will be sophomores Lisa Norman, Tim Harrington , and Mercelel Chretien, and juniors Fred Holland, Pam Benecke, Helen Haley and Jennifer Smith. Photographer will be sophomore Andy Causey .

The structure of the editorial staff will be different next year in that three students - editor­in-chief and advisory board members - will be responsible for all operations including

coverage, editing, layout, and printing matters. In past years, these responsibilities have been planed on the editor-in-chief, managing editor, and the news, feature and sports editors.

Some of the staff members and advisor Gaye Gannon will travel to New Orleans for a three-day workshop on producing news­papers in August.

The I' Esprit editors will work during the summer months soliciting contributions for the magazine that contains creative work such as poetry, short stories, photography, and art wor~ produced by Shreve stu­dents and faculty.

Neeson pushes to raise driving age by Mark S .. Dyba Enterprise Reporter

Louisiana State Senator Richard Neeson spoke to Dassie Adger's civics class on April 8 about his controversial bill that if passed would raise the legal driving age in Louisiana from 15to16.

Neeson, who serves on the Highways and Transportation Committee of the legislature, spent much of the time dis­cussing this issue, which has inspired many citizens to send letters of protest to the state's governing body and lobby against the bill.

Even though his statistics show that more 18-year-olds are involved in automobile acci­dents than are 15- or 16-year olds, he adds that "a 15-year-old

is not as mature as a 16-year­old," and raising the legal driving age would "make the highways safer." He pointed out that because some teens work, restrictive licenses could be issued so that workers could drive to and from work. To quell the mumblings of some disapproving freshmen, Neeson quickly added that "the bill hasn't even been to one com­mittee yet. I haven't even taken it to Baton Rouge to the other senators yet. •

Neeson's statistics not only show the 18-year-olds are more accident prone, but also that there are more than 600 alcohol­related accidents in Louisiana annually. For this reason, Nee­son also plans to propose legis­lation that would raise the legal

age to purchase booze in Lou­isiana from 18 to 21. Neeson said he is doing this because, "I care about you and I don't want you to get hurt." ·

Neeson represents District 38, which consists of south Caddo Parish and all of DeSoto Parish. He has a constituency of approximately 115,000 people.

Although he says he may not be as smart as some Shreve students, "I'm a hard worKer and I mean what I say."

Other subjects were touched on during Neeson's informal talk . On the topic of Interstate 49, a north-south expressway connecting Shreveport with the southern part of Louisiana that is presentl-y- under construction, Neeson predicted that "you should be driving on some big segments within 36 months."

Sponsors are chairman, Charles Fitzpatrick, Gladys Aderhold, Maggie Green, and Bill Causey.

Throw out hotdogs, Prom night is on!

Smoke from an open fire drifts slowly to the sky as girls clad in long, ruffled Prom dresses rush off in two's to powder their noses. Waiting behind are their dates . But hold it , what happened to the green sticks and hotdogs? What about the crickets and the campfire? Could this possibly be an actual Prom or are we just suffering from massive smoke inhalation?

Listen . In the distance you can even hear a band . There are decorations on the walls too . People are even in line to have their pictures made. The words on the backdrop read, 1983 Junior/Senior Prom .

Yes, students it 's for real. Captain Shreve will be having a Prom this year. Contrary to popular belief, the juniors won't be serving hotdogs at a weiner roast held in an open field as suggested by an editorial in the Dec. 10 edition of this paper . Sorry guys , now you'll have to spring for dinner out!

You can thank the junior class for that. They have raised over $2,800 since December selling candy and flowers during their annual Valentine 's Day flower hour. This sum is more than any other class to date . Congratulations seniors of ' 84! You all deserve a big round of applause.

(Oh, but didn 't roasting hotdogs sound like fun!)

Graduation needs help Graduation day means a world of things to many different

students. Scattered images and ideas come to mind at the mere thought of such a word.

However, when graduation ceremonies are mentioned, one basic feeling is apparent. Boringly traditional. Year after year, class after class, the same speeches are hashed and rehashed by the students who are selected to speak. "You are the future and you are tomorrow's foundation," is the familiar message heard every year. Granted , much time is spent in writing and practicing these con­ventional speeches, but how many times must we hear them?

In a random survey conducted by the Enterprise staff , five out of seven high schools in the Caddo-Bosier area have speakers from outside the school itself. Some have prominent city members, college presidents and even religious persons such as church pastors come as guest for graduation ceremonies. Why not Captain Shreve?

Students deserve 'lunch out' How many times have you heard your youngster complain of

his school lunch? And, how many times have you heard about how hard it is to get a lunch pass? Well parents, rejoice, because here is a plan to end your kid's complaining. We feel that lunch passes should be available to the student who shows he is capable of having one, with certain understood rules.

Lunch passes could be obtained the old fashioned way, by earning them, through grade point average. We feel that a student with a 2.8 average on a non-weighted grade scale would qualify for a lunch pass. This would also give the "middle-of-the-road" student Incentive to work.

The second condition we would require is parental consent on file, stating that the school is not responsible for the student off of school grounds. We understand that the school cannot just turn the kids loose and be responsible. Since many parents let their kids drive to school, we feel they would not be opposed to letting them go to lunch.

We also feel that this should not be an everyday occurance and that twice a month should be sufficient. Each class would be assigned two days they could go on, such as freshmen on the first and third Mondays, sophomores on the second and fourth Tuesdays, juniors on the first and third Wednesdays and seniors on the second and fourth Thursdays. Lunch passes would not be honored except on assigned days.

Each studnet who qualifies for a lunch pass will be issued a color coded card (color codes by class) which could be sold by the Student Council, similar to the school I. D. card. The Student Council could charge for the cards and therefore make a profit.

These cards would be used to flash the assigned parking lot teacher (the teacher would be stationed where cars exit the parking lot and not at specified doors. This would prevent people from sneaking out behind the gym, etc.) that they do have a lunch pass and are allowed to leave that day. Anyone without the correct color coded card would be turned away. Of course, regular lunch passes would still be In effect for the entire year.

We feel that any student who has a lunch pass should be responsible enough to get back to the school on time. Therefore, even one tardy coming back from lunch will mean the automatic suspension of the pass for the rest of the year .

Lunch passes will show the kids that the adults around them do think they have responsibility. And, after all, isn't that what we want our kids to learn, responsibility?

Can We Talk about summer? by Cynthia Maisch Feature Editor

For the past year, we have had the opportunity to talk, chat, whine, cry, and scream about the pertinent topics which exist around Captain Shreve. We've talked about the pint-size humanoids , the unidentifiable cafeteria food, insane excuses for not doing homework, the drill sergeant type teachers, 50 ways to cheat in English, and us, the poor, pitiful stereotyped students. For once, just once, we'd like to talk about something important, something that will change our lives and make us better people (no, it isn't Latin) . .. But since there is no such topic - Can We Talk About Summer, instead?

You can tell it's almost sum­mer. Teachers have started counting down the number of days, minutes, and seconds left until we are free, or out on parole, however you want to look at it.

Every day, students day dream of themselves nailed to the Linoleum in front of the tele­VISion, watching educational intelligent shows like "Bugs Bunny" or "I Love Lucy."

At present, students are found tying their gym clothes to­gether and throwing these homemade ladders out of the third floor windows in order to escape. Soon, however, we will be able to leave legally like normal, civilized, human beings.

Yet, the question which has been engraved on our minds since birth, remains . WHAT AM I GOING TO DO THIS SUM­MER? As thoughts of various vacation spots dance in our heads, certain rules and regula­tions come to mind.

1 . Have some sort of desti­nation · in mind . Driving aim­lessly about the country for days on end is nice but .. .

2. Be sure to pack accordingly (include your summer and winter wardrobes, as well as the 10-year-old scout uniform, the Halloween costumes and clothes that went out with the hula hoops.) Also bring all electrical

appliances - hairdryers, toast­ers, can openers, blenders and curlers - just in case the hotels don't have them , or you decide to have a garage sale on the Interstate.

If you are traveling to the mountains, remember you prob­ably won't be at the mercy of Mother Nature, grubbing for roots and berries to dine on , or relying on the chipmunks for our only companions . Then again , this isn 't a weekend in the 8 Days Inn, there is no Amana Radar Range, living out of an ice chest isn't a breeze, and roasting hot dogs for break­fast isn't a thrill. One must become accustomed to smelling like insect repellant, wrestling with mosquito netting, and living in a two-foot nylon dwell-ing for a week. ·

If Smokey the Bear and John Denver aren't your idols, you may care instead to venture to the beach this summer. Un­fortunately, in my case I need a complete make-over as well as cosmetic surgery before even thinking about wearing a bathing suit, much less shopping for one. Be sure to bring your cardboard fin and yell "Shark, Shark" while the multitudes of beach goers jump into their beach umbrellas. Don't forget the sun­tan oils, creams and lotions. You wouldn't want to go to the beach

not smelling like an exotic fruit would you? Be prepared to come back in reptile form.

There 's nothing more enjoy­able than trying to get a suntan and come back feeling like you ' re dead and decomposing .

For those who choose not to go on vacations, there are always other constructive forms of spending your leisure time. For instance, lying . around and catching up on all the sleep you

. missed during gym class. It may take weeks to adjust, but after waking at dawn several times, we will have perfected our techniques of slumberings, until dinner time, If you are truly desperate, there are houses to paint, cars to wash, and rooms to clean.

But we'll all be bored after the first week.

Thanks Gators!

You made our year great.

Opinion ,

Theft rate in gym classes steadily increases Dear Editor:

Lately, there has been a very high theft rate of personal possessions such as wallets , clothing , shoes , and other articles from the student lockers in the school locker rooms. This kind of petty theft reflects on the dignity of the Captain Shreve students, and it is hard to believe that anyone would steal from fellow students.

Letters to the Editor

Students who have had their wallets stolen have the problem of replacing their driver's license and other identification cards. Also, many students have other articles to replace, such as pictures, fishing license, and credit cards. It is not so much the money stolen , but the time, expense, and frustration of replacing the wallet and the items in it.

One solution to this problem is to have someone in the locker rooms at all times to make sure that none of the lockers are bothered . Another solution is to have better locks installed on the lockers. This is because sometimes the locks don't latch securely, and if someone is in a hurry, he does not always take the time to check the latch.

Therefore, if this situation is going to be stopped, when someone is caught, he or she needs to be punished severely. If strong steps are not taken in dealing with people who steal, petty theft will continue to be a serious problem in our school.

John P. Turner

Smoking Dear Editor:

Why is it that students are smoking in the school 's bath­rooms? It is easy to tell which people are the smokers in the school. They are the ones who make a mad dash to the bath­room as soon as class is over and they are also the ones who walk into class smelling like ashtrays. But the question still remains; why are these students smoking in the bathrooms and getting away with it?

The solution lies within the administration . Perhaps if one teacher would check a desig­nated bathroom in between classes, it might discourage the student smoker. The present administration seems to feel that there is no real problem , but there is. Any person that has to have a cigarette every fifty­five minutes has a problem. But the worst part of it all is that they know they can get away with lt. There might as well be a room somewhere in the school set aside just for the smokers to sit, relax and cough with other smokers. Maybe it should be on the third floor so that they would race to run up three flights of stairs. After a few days they would probably die off

because of the stress put on their hearts.

It's really a shame that a non­smoker cannot go to the bath­room without coming out smell­ing like smoke. A student should have the right to go into any bathroom without having to choke to death.

Craig Falbaum

Privileges Dear Editor,

I would just like to let all the underclassmen out there know that being a senior is no big deal. Take senior privileges? There aren't any. You still lead that same fun life that you led when you were an underclass­man. The only difference is that you're the oldest surrounded by pipsqueak kids with changing voices , anti-gumchewing sub­stitutes, and hall-pass hounds who get their kicks from making you take the long way to where you're going (by outside route of course) . It can be irritating , but the senior year really should be taken seriously . It's your last chance to make some im­pressive grades for your tran­script · and you'll probably be taking your hardest classes . You're under pressure, so don't have too much of a blast.

He'll Jkick back' following retirement

by Sophia Kirklkis Managing Editor

To some students he's a grandfather - to some he's a teacher to himself he's "just an average individual."

Over the years Matthew Perdue has provided a father image to hundreds of students passing through Captain Shreve. "It's rewarding to see some 8,000 people I've taught ac­complish their goals in life," he says. But after twenty-nine years of teaching biology and seven as Student Council sponsor, Perdue has decided to face retirement. "I'm gonna miss Shreve," he says, "but I'll be in touch. " He adds that he will finally enjoy watching a complete basketball game without having to go make popcorn.

Perdue admits that he is anxious for the close of this school year . "I've never had a summer off," he says, referring to his summer job of opening the gym at Broadmoor Baptist Church. "That's as far back as I can remember." Yet, he explains that the close of school "won't be any different. I don't have anything planned other than jobs around the house. n

These jobs around the house possibly · include caring for his annual garden which grows productive vegetables of toma­toes, peppers, carrots, and others. Perdue says that all he does with his home grown vegetables is "eat , em. n

Also important to Perdue 's everyday life is his music col­lection of over 500 albums and 500 tapes, which he started in 1942 while in the Air Force. Needing something to occupy his time with, he listened to just about any type of music includ­ing western, classical, and big band music. Some of his col ­lection 's items include music by Glen Miller and Herbie Fields.

Another around-the-house job includes sewing, which he learned by observing his mother, a professional seamstress. Perdue says the challenge to sewing lies in cutting out the dress. Recently, Perdue's daughter challenged him to make five bride's maids dresses , which he constructed easily. All he says about the dresses is that "it got kinda old making the same thing . n

In the same manner, Perdue has experienced teacher burnout within the past five years. He explains that the students seem to have "no push. There's nothing I can do to inspire," he says. Yet, his revolving seating chart seems adequate to inspire students as they rotate weekly. Equally stimulating is Perdue's sense of humor, in which jokes might be difficult to detect, yet a trace of a smirk always gives him away.

"I'm putting forth more effort than I have in the past, • he says. With his p~st efforts, he might be referring to his first day of teaching. It was "nerve-racking,"

Perdue seems to credit most of his success as a teacher to Student Council and its mem­bers. "The best thing I like about Student Council is the students that are in student council," he says. And the best thing the · students like about Student CounciiJs Mr. Perdue­he's dedicated, dependable, and

various shapes and sizes to be comfortably suited in swimwear with style.

Specifically, one-piece suits are the winw thing this season, cut high on the thigh, affecting a slimmer look and designating that WlessW is actually Wmore" revealing, and since its a snug one-piece, there's no worrying about it sliding where it shoudln't!

DIVORCED Psychologist explains the hews and whys of breaking up

by Cheryl Dubois Enterprise Reporter

During the 1960's, the divorce rate in America began a steady increase which continued throughout the 1970's and seemed to have reached its peak in 1981, according to Dr. James B. Childs, a leading psychologist and marriage counselor here in Shreveport.

Childs said he was happy to see a "clear pattern of decrease now" although progress is slow. "Staying single longer and having more education is apparently one reason why the trend has turned," Childs said. In addition, Childs believes that the liberation of women is another primary reason of the decreasing divorce rate. "Hopefully," Childs said, "the divorce rate has reached its peak never to return."

Although several divorces occur before a family is launched, many more divorce cases involve children. However, most parents are not as concerned about the children involved and their feelings be­cause "everyone is primarily looking out for number one," Childs said . "We are much more ego sanctioned than, say, the Indians were." This is a result of the fact that people are programmed that way from first grade. "That's what the parents teach them," Childs said. "To the normal person,, their children are important but not more important than number one." Consequently, Childs believes that very few people will try to deal with their problems for the sake of the children . -

Children rank fifth Although there may be a tremendous

number of reasons why American couples end in divorce, children rank fifth among the top ten reasons. First on the list is cooperation and teamwork at home. Follow­ing respectively are sexual satisfaction, social goals and values, money use and management, children and relatives, agreement on male/female roles, creative use of conflict, warmth and appreciation, communication skills and commitment to growth. Nevertheless, our primary concern is a focus on the children.

Children may play a major role in many cases of divorce. For example, some women marry simply just to have a father for their child and it is "very likely to end in di­vorce," according to Childs. Other mar­riages may end in divorce because the only or spoiled male who marries doesn't want children in order to receive all of the wife's attention. Therefore, when children do come into the picture, the mother's attention is divided, which forces the father to leave as a direct result of his selfish feelings.

Another child-related divorce case may result when child rearing values differ, according to Childs. "Diverse views con­cerning discipline and punishment may cause a wedge between parents," Childs said. However, this fact increases when an exceptional child, such as one who is re­tarded or physically disfunctionable, is involved. "Maybe one parent can't stand to be around that child," Childs explained. That parent may resent the fact that that child needs exceptional attention or money for therapy or special needs. "An excep­tional child does produce_ added stresses and strains that may lead to divorce," Childs said.

Step-children cause problems Additionally, a third divorce result may be

caused by a second or third marriage where maybe one or both parties already have children of their own. For instance, a man falls deeply in love with a woman with several kids. They marry and soon find that "maybe he can't stand the kids," Childs said and added that "it might sound kind of

funny but it's really serious because it's real." Childs went on to say that "children are the primary vehicles in later marriages."

Further, children may be a primary cause of divorce when a youngster becomes jealous of the parent of the same sex "and continues to fight with, for instance, the mother for the father's attention," Childs said, "even to the point of incest." Childs continued to explain that "it's not un­common for the father to even molest the female child. • In such cases, chances for the marriage ending in divorce are ex­tremely high.

Fighting leads to abuse A final and most disturbing cause of

divorce involving children is when parental fighting leads to spouse abuse and even­tually child abuse. Although, many psy­chologists believe that some degree of conflict in a marriage is a useful and necessary part of life, too much marital conflict can lead to constant fighting terminating in spouse or child abuse and I or divorce. Nonetheless, it is through con­flict that changes and adapt ions take place.

Although Childs admitted that he has not counseled a child for the specifically stated reason of a divorce result, he has dealt with several children victims of divorce. To begin to help a child overcome a divorce upset, "preferably you work with the parents, • Childs said. "Divorces make the parents legal enemies," Childs . explained, "in a court of law." Some few, however, manage out of court the division of belongings, etc.

Parents need to show emotions "In theory it is needed for both parents

to say they still love the child and will forever be his parent and care for him," Childs stresed . "Parents must tell the child that nothing bad is going to happen to them." Chi Ids also stated that the parent who moves away should plan to work things out to see the child.

"The fighting is real to little people," Childs said. "They need to be assured in a calm, objective manner that one parent will move out but will still be the child's parent." Thus, Childs affirmatively stresses and agrees with a recent pamphlet put out by the Mental Health Material Center, Inc. entitled "When the Family Breaks Up". The pamphlet explains that separation or di­vorce is an extremely painful and shatter­ing experience for all involved and especial­ly the little childlren who don't understand. The pamphlet emphasises the fact that the child must be reassured he is not at fault in a simple manner. He should ·be told calmly and simply what is happening although his response may be silence, tears or even refusal to accept the truth. The . parents may have to repeat several times in different ways for the child's comfort and understanding. In addition, continuation of normal activity, love, guidance and understanding will help the child overcome his fears and confusion .

Students can handle It Likewise, to counsel an older disturbed

victim of divorce, such as a junior or senior high school student, Childs said he would first say to them, "yes, you can handle it." An admittance and realization of fears is important, according to Childs. "People do handle it every day," Childs said, "a person can live with or without a parent if neces­sary."

Although many of today's children are victims of divorce, it is evident that the divorce rate has finally reached its peak leading us to hope that the children of tomorrow will be the contented results of a progressing family rather than an unhappy result of a disturbing divorce.

Divorced parents create opposition between kids by Sophia Klrklkls Managing Editor

ll "Suddenly it hit me that they were divorced and they

would never be married again." This is a statement a Captain Shreve studet made concerning her parents who received a final judgement on their divorce on March 31 - her birthday. "I've never seen my Mom with a really true smile

on her face until that day," she says. Although her Mom may be happy, a he Ia definitely not happy.

She stares into space, her eyes empty, her thoughts racing back in time to a decision that af­fects her I ife everyday. She bears the burden of pain alone -no one understands exactly what she feels.

She and a brother live with her Mom while two other brothers live with her Dad out of town . These two brothers are "pro­Dad," she says, and "totally against Mom . Dad is brain­washing them. He uses them against my Mom . It tears me apart because I love my brothers."

Although she says she loves her dad, her words only show resentment. "He's irrespon­sible," she says. "I don't respect what he does. I knew my brothers once, but now . . . " Her voice fades away. She merely shakes her head in sorrow and pain. She continues, "He (her father) knows he's wrong. He knows he shouldn't be doing that kind of stuff." She briefly refers to her dad convincing her brothers to live with him. But, he's never tried to persuade her to join him, she says somewhat triumphantly, because "he knows I'm right. Deep down he knows what he's doing is wrong."

Although her father is gone, his presence is always felt be­cause of the problems he causes. "He makes if real hard," she says, "just to get back at her (Mom) for divorce. It tears her apart."

But, the children seem to be affected the most. Two living with Dad and two living with Mom, the kids are forced to take sides and fight against their

parents and one another. She explains, "It (the divorce) turned into a divorce between the kids. The kids used to be real close­used to do everything together­used to discuss anything. We can't do that anymore. It's the opposition, and that's what hurts . n

She thinks back to that day when she felt the most pain -the day her mother announced the divorce. "She said, 'We're getting divorced on your birth­day.' I started crying. That was the hardest it ever hit me."

After two long years of separa­tion, the divorce is legally over. All the turmoil and fighting is legally over. But, the turmoil and fighting still remains - maybe even more than before.

The divorce causes confusion and disillusionment, as with her youngest brother. He seems to be torn between his two parents. "He'll ask, 'What's going . on between Mom and Dad?' " she says. Although he does not really understand the situation completely, he puts up a good front . But, hearing two different opinions from his parents, "He'll turn to me and say 'What'll I do?'" In helping her brother cope with the di­vorce, she says, "I've had to be his mother, brother, friend, sister, person to talk to. There's not much you can do or say, but it's gonna be okay."

In helping herself cope with the divorce, she seems to simply wonder what went wrong. "I couldn't understand how they could not get along," she says. In fact, she never really ac­cepted the divorce until it ac­tually happened. "I knew in my heart that they would (get divorced) - but I was just hoping ... n

'He's the foundation' by Tracy Barnes Editor-In-Chief

During the time his parents were fighting he felt such a deep responsibility for his mother that he forcefully says, "She couldn't have made it without me." This attitude is unique to one 17-year-old junior who's mom and dad began having trouble, for the most part, four months ago during

the Christmas holidays when his son, was the strong foundation dad began taking medication. that she looked to for support. Their fighting never went as far However, the older son was as any physical violen.ce, but the different. He began making biting words and frustrating accusations that their Dad had emotions were enough to tear found another woman.

His father, a man who's job takes him away from home three days out of the week, and his mother, a house­wife, was bewildered at her husband's sudden personality switch.

Reflecting on some of the worst memories, he thinks aloud, "Mom was just always crying." It was at this point when he stayed up long nights trying to comfort his mother. It was also at this point that his grades began to drop and he talks about really hating school, which was unusual for this well­liked, carefree guy. "Every day I'd come home from school and try to find out what's new, n

he says about his mom's search for information into the medicine his father was taking.

These confusing feelings were painful for him and he even began to consider the alterna­tives if indeed his parents did go through with a divorce. "If it came down to it, I'd of gone with my mom," he men­tions frankly. The thought that he might have to move to New Orleans for school was not a comforting one especially be­cause this move would throw him into a totally new school atmos­phere where most around him would be strangers for his senior year of high school. Now though that his parents have settled most of their differences, the possibility of moving is no longer a threat. Ironically as it may seem, out of all this tur­moil, the tears and emotions, erupted a very strong, loving bond between mother and son .

'We're more of a family now' by Cynthia Maisch Feature Editor

He sits calmly trying to relate his feelings. Frustration coupled with confusion covers his face, as he struggles to describe his live now that his parents are separated. "It doesn't really sink in for a while," he says, shaking his head. Obviously he has tried to accept the harsh realities

of living without a father, but understanding the situation is a different story.

Although his father had dis­cussed the situation with him before hand, he never really thought this could happen to him. His calm voice quivers slightly as he remembers think­ing that his father would be back in a few days. He feels no resentment towards his father -only sadness.

"I can't explain it," he says referring to the indescribable emptiness he feels. Although they never spent much time together, he felt secure knowing that his father would always be there when he needed him . Technically they are spearated by only a few miles; but actually it is much more than that. "It's

kind of awkward, n he says, "I hardly know what to say to him." Even though they are related, the emotional distance makes them strangers. To hear him talk one may · think that he is related to his father only by n(!.me.

He continues, almost making excuses for his parents actions . But there are no explanations. He describes the situation as a "quiet separation", one without fighting or screaming - perhaps one of the worst kinds, one without knowing or understand­ing.

"I guess it's a good thing they broke up," he says sadly, ad­mitting, "we're more of a family now that he's gone." He remem­bers deciding whether to live

with his father or remain with his mother and try to keep the family together. He felt that his father's wanting · to leave was "his own business ... but I live here. Besides, Dad's the worst house­keeper," he says with a small laugh, breaking the tension in the room. He describes the situation as 'good' because it has forced him to mature rather quickly. Because of his new responsibilities of looking after his younger brother and sister, he feels that "sometimes it's too much. But you have to hang on, ... you just have to hang on."

A faraway look covers his crystal blue eyes. Silently he stares, possibly focusir,~g on nothing at all. The painful memories come rushing at him again. After a brief pause, he says, "I'm kinda glad they waited until we were old enough to accept it." But does he? or does he just have to?

All extra-curricu­lar activities, with the exception of such things as COE, DE, choir, ROTC, and newspaper staff will be taken after school. These activities will be sched­uled during school because the students have a regular meeting time during the school day or because an after-school piqture would interfere with school-

Z-Ciub models shaw· the· latest by Pam Benecke Enterprise Reporter

Spring is in the air, a time for new flowers, blossoming trees, and especially for a "Showcase" of new fashions.

Z-club has once again pre­sented their "Spring Showcase" style show on April 13 in the Shreve auditorium with Spring fashions ranging from casual to formalwear. All the proceeds from their show is donated to the Kidney Foundation. Senior models from Z-club included Amanda Buford, Nancy Cranor, Nancy Horton, Kim Fullilove,

" Jill Ratcliff, Barbara Vaughan, Mary Katheryn Howard, Mi­chelle Tedford, Dee Wojtkie­wicz, Becky Jackson, Lynne Wainwright, and Kim Schulman. The mothers of Z-club members who modeled are Mrs. Judy Bush, Mrs. Carol LaBorde, Mrs. Jane Lindsey, Mrs. Kay Howard, and Mrs. LuAnn Johnson. Key Club models included Gordon Webb, Leigh McClellan, Craig Falbaum, Adam Trowbridge, Spencer Risinger, Merritt Johnson, Chris Fitzgerald, Duke

Ehrharot, Frank Folsom, Cedric Thomas, and Scot Heno.

Divided into three categories, the models presented clothes from all walks of life. Such types of clothes as an unimaginable "safari" look modeled by Merritt Johnson, to silk cocktail dresses worn by Jill Ratcliff and Barbara Vaughan, and blue and gray tuxedos worn by Cedric Thomas, Adam Trowbridge, and Craig Falbaum, the showcase re­vealed the variety, color, ver­satility , simplicity and prac­ticality of the new fashions for this season.

Broad stripes, contrasting colors, and comfortable seem to be the trend. Accessories like wide belts, tinted hose, · big button earrings , and matching shoes in bright spring colors make spring fashions complete.

The showcase didn't present too many pastel colors for the girls, but only a few like peach, pink, and light blue, in formal fashions . The casual and sporty looks include splashes of color combinations and contrasts . Summer sweaters, vests, and

bermuda shorts modeled by Dee Wojtkiewicz and · Kim Fullilove, revealed that dressing sporty can be fun as well as sty I ish . Sporty looks for guys are ail color coordinated in pastel colors for this season. Modeled by Chris Fitzgerald , Gordon Webb, and Leigh McClellan, sportswear is casual as well as comfortable. The colors seem to coordinate from the headband to the tube socks.

Casuals for guys have taken in the contrasting look. Spencer Risinger and Duke Ehrhardt modeled the comfortable rugby look. Long-sleeved striped and solid shirts when paired with solid pants are very eye-catch­ing. These "Spring Showcase" outfits, complete from jackets to tennis shoes can be found at these stores around town: Sportique, Kampers Korner, Bairds, Ray's and Don's Deb Shop, Gung-Ho, and Squires .

Remember, to be set for spring, load up on bright colors in shirts and pants, mix and match and add a lot of acces­sories to complete any spring fashion.

Baseball wrap-ups GATORS 20, GIANTS 8

Shreve has successful season (Green Oaks) David Clary's two-run homer highlighted a four-run first inning as Shreve opened district play by clobbering Green Oaks. Carl Jackson , AI Reddy, and Mike Magner paced the Gators with three hits each . Lloyd Thomas picked up his second win of the season .

GATOR 30, CHIEFS 0

(Shreve) Kevin Pickens , Carl Jackson, and David Clary sparkled in a Iaugher. Pickens and Jackson combined for a two-hitter and Clary banged out four hits and five RBI 's.

GATORS2,PANTHERS3

(Shreve) Shreve suffered their first loss of the season despite a fine pitching performance from ace Kevin Pickens. Pickens allowed just four hits and struck out 11.

GATORS4,BEARKATS3 I

(Shreve) Kevin Pickens struck out 11 Bossier batters en route to another Gator victory. The win brought Shreve to 8-1 overall and 3-1 in district games.

In 1981 , the Cincinnati Reds had the best r~ord in the Major Leagues , yet didn't qualify for the playoffs. In 1983, the Shreve Gators have one of the best records in Shreveport-Bossier, yet possibly will not participate in the playoffs .

As of this writing , the Gators ' fate is in the hands of the Air­line Vikings. Here is the situa­tion. If Airline loses one of their two remaining games and Shreve wins their one remaining game, Shreve will be in the playoffs . Consequently , if Airline wins both of their games, regardless of what Shreve does, the Gators will be eliminated from the playoffs . No matter if the Gators make it to the .playoffs or not, they should still be proud of this season .

Early in the season , the media put a lot of pressure on Shreve by giving them the headlines constantly. Other teams were out to kill Shreve because of the press they were getting . As Shreve head coach AI Leviston said , "They (the media) tell how good we are , but we hadn't really had a test yet. " Junior first baseman Carl Jackson said , "Teams get fired up to play us more so than when they play other teams ."

However, this year the Gators fielded a team overflowing with talent. They returned seven starters from last year , including last year's MVP Mike Magner, Robert Martina, Kevin Pickens , David 'Clary, AI Reddy, Floyd Thomas and Carl Jackson .

Pickens ends his three-year Shreve pitching career with tremendous potential to play college or pro ball . He whiffed batters by the scores again this year .

Magner 's batting average dipped a bit this season , but his leadership was felt by the whole team. Pleasant surprises this year were Steve Gouthiere and Woodus Humphrey. Gou­thiere was very effective with his fastball, while Humphrey got on base a lot and added speed to the outfield. Magner, Mar­tina, Floyd and Lloyd Thomas , Pickens , Clary, Reddy , Glen Whitaker , Alan Talbot, Teaven Redstone, and Joe Sapp will all leave Shreve this year, but Shreve should look forward to another winning team next year .

AIRLINE EASTER TOURNAMENT

(SPAR) For the second consecutive year Shreve defeated South­wood 4-3 in the championship game. Woodus Humphrey was the difference with the game winning RBI as Shreve beat Southwood for the third time this season. To get to the championship game, the Gators smashed Mansfield 9-2 and rolled over Bossier 11-1. Kevin Pickens was named the MVP and David Clary was named to the all-tournament team .

Major league baseball underway

GATORS 10, CHIEFS 0

(Natchitoches) AI Reddy ripped 3 hits and Steve Gouthiere limited the Chiefs to 2 hits while fanning 9. David Clary and Kevin Pickens got two hits each . Pickens knocking in 4 runs .

GATORS1,PANTHERS2

(Parkway) Hard-luck hit Kevin Pickens again . He struck out 10 and allowed 3 hits, but the Shreve offense couldn't push enough across the plate.

Hello again, sports fans. Here are some interesting tid­bits of the first two weeks of Major League Baseball.

Tigers' pitcher Milt Wilcox almost made it into the record books recently , coming within one out of pitching a perfect game. Len Barker of the Cleve­land Indians was the last pitcher to pitch a perfect game.

Speaking of records, million dollar baby Steve Garvey has

recently broken Billiam Wil­liams ' National League record of 1,117 consecutive games played . Ironically, Garvey, who signed with the Padres this year, broke the record in Dodger Stadium where he played for nine years .

Baseball , the traditional spring sport , has run into a new problem. So far this year, seven games have been postponed because of snow . Looks like the weatherman doesn't have a calendar.

Patrons Good luck, Gators

NFL star visits Shreve by Scott Polkamp Co-Sports Editor

He kicked his big cowboy boots up on the desk and put a toothpick in his mouth. He is 6'3" and weighs about 250 pounds. Who is this mountain of a man?

He is former Shreve football standout and eight-year Cin­cinnati Bengal veteran Bo· Harris.

Harris recently spoke to the students in an assembly in which senior Robert Martina was pre­sented the Mike Mark Award for his outstanding leadership qualities while attending Shreve. Following the assembly, Harris answered a few questions about his career, his spiritual life, drugs and the NFL strike.

specifically about drugs, he says "Marijuana, (alcohol and quaa­ludes) can be a spiritual de­struction as well as destroying one's attitude." Harris, a firm believer of Christ, feels that if athletes could find Christ there would be no need for drugs. He says it's no coincidence that many pro football players began speaking out against drugs this year after quite a few players admitted to drug use.

Speaking of this year,

Harris was one of many who sat through the football strike. He wasn't particularly pleased with the way the strike was handled, and he wasn 't alone. "Ed Garvey did a fairly poor job on the strike. The critical point of the negotiations were missed," he said. The strike was one of two disappointments for Harris this year. The other was a 44-17 playoff loss to the New York Jets. It was one of the Bengals' worst defensive performances of the year ... a game he would_ like to forget, he says.

USFL on the go by Scott Pohlkamp Co-Sports Editor

It started with a bang. Former NFL head coach George Allen announced he would own the Chicago Blitz franchise in the new pro football league, the USFL. With him jumped two NFL players, Gregg Landry of the Baltimore Colts and Stan White of the Detroit Lions .

Sports editorial

USFL commiSSioner Chet Simmons announced that 12 teams could constitute the league, each playing an 18 game schedule. After the 12 franchises were established, a college draft was held. Most critics didn't expect the USFL to have a plentiful draft, but they were sur­prised. The following out­standing college athletes were drafted : Tim Spencer of Ohio State, Alan Rischer of LSU, Craig James of SMU, Trumaine Johnson of Gramb­ling and Tom Ramsey of UCLA. It is obvious that the USFL fielded a successful draft .

After the draft, the sports­world was shocked when it was released that Georgia Heisman Trophy winner, Herschel Walker had signed a multi-million dollar contract with the New Jersey Generals . With the signing of Walker and having already signed a con­tract with ABC, the USFL was well on its way and had made a believer out of me.

Immediately following the Walker signing, the Generals sold approximately 30,000 season tickets and other teams announced that ticket sales had picked up. The critics were critical of the USFL during its first few weeks of the season because of the attendance. However, they didn't realize that average attendance the first week was 37,500, 10,000 more than the first week of the defunct WFL and 5,000 more than the first AFL championship game. The play of the teams was also heavily criticized . It's true that the tackling and special teams' play were well below NFL standards , but it must be taken into consideration that the teams had little time to prepare and didn't get to play any exhibition games .

Having watched the first USFL game, I decided to wait a few weeks before watching another game so I could see if any progress was made. Five weeks went by before I decided to watch another game. I watched a game between Birmingham and Chicago and found it very exciting. Two classy organiza­tions fielded teams that looked quite professional ; the passing games were precision as was the tackling, blocking and special teams' play .

Football fans, give this new league a fair chance . I think that after watching a few games you will find it legitimate and surprisingly exciting.

Up and away!

Gator trackman Darryl Henson points toward the sky as he tries his hand at the high jump at a recent track meet held at Caddo Parish Stadium.

Track team looking good They're off and running! Once again the Shreve track

team is back and ready to aim for their long awaited dominancy in the state.

The Gator team will be going to the regional meet this Friday to try and qualify as many people as possible for state.

Coach Martin Poole's outlook for regionals is optimistic as is his outlook for the state meet which will be held in Monroe on May6.

According to Poole, "We'll send at least two to state . . . possibly six." The people being refered to by Poole as going to state are Andre' Ester in the long and triple jump, Lifford

Jackson in the hurdles and the 400-meter relay team.

Poole says that his best track members are Ester, Jackson, and Cedric Thomas in the quarter mile. Poole also states that the team is strong in all three relay categories.

Poole's confidence in his team is strengthened when he says , "This is the best overall team I've ever coached .

Poole believes that even after this year is over, the quality of the track team will remain excellent, with such up­coming stars as freshman Burt Allan in the distance runs and David Frost in the high jump.

Happy Birthday Scott

Mcinnis signs with KSU Shreve senior Scott Mcinnis,

a standout football player this year, has been granted a full four-year athletic scholarship by Kansas State University.

Mcinnis, who hopes to play tackle or tight end for Jim Dickey's Wildcats is slowly recovering from a torn I igament under the kneecap, suffered in a Shreve basketball game. After having the leg in a cast for many weeks. Mcinnis is beginning his

own rehibilitation program. He hopes to be fully recovered by Aug. 16, the date he is to report to KSU.

This year, Mcinnis played tight end for the Gators and made All-District. His 12 re­ceptions for 49 yards and two touchdowns helped the Gators to their 6-5 record.

Although KSU won out in the end, Mcinnis was also consider­ing Northwestern, Louisiana Tech and Southern Mississippi.

Golf team on to state "To win state is our ultimate

goal," says 1983 Shreve Golf Coach Alden Reeves. Reeves, who is coaching golf for his first year. ever says that his Gator Golf team should make a good showing on April 27-28 when they defend their state title on the LSU campus golf course in Baton Rouge.

At the present time the Gators have won three out of four tournaments and 13 out of 16 matches. These statistics do not include a second place showing in the Regionals to ad­vance to the state playoffs, and the possibility of two consecu­tive state championships. If the Gators complete their goal and win their second straight champ-

Thanks

ionship , it will set a record in Louisiana, as this has never been done before. One of the Gators losses came at the hands of arch rival Loyola and the other to quad-A foe , Airline .

The Gators are grateful to have outstanding talent this year with Mike Slack leading the way. Slack, who averages a 74 per round at golf this year , is followed closely by Rob Akins with a 77, and John Boles with a 78. Wade Brint and Fred Archer bring up the rear with consistent 81's.

The 1983 school year should be a big one to remember not only for seniors, but for the members of the 1983 Captain Shreve Golf Team.
