In the 12th grade the SAT, special army tests and many strenuous applications were required by colleges, employers, and the services. The SAT, Scholastic Aptitude Test, was required by most colleges and many spe- cial after-school programs. As well as testing for vocabulary, reading com- prehension, and math, the SAT tested endurance by lasting 3 hours. The armed services also required applicants to take the ASVAB test to determine their aptitudes and interests. Many students found more questions being asked on college and scholarship applications. These questions required thought and sought to determine a student’s reasons for applying to a certain school or his qualifications for a scholarship. Whatever the situation, Ms. Pointer offered some important advice, “Students need to take the initiative and be competitive to get what they want.” Senior Quincey Blackwell consults guidance counselor, Ms. Jane Pointer, about the SAT. Ms. Pointer helped many seniors chart the future during 1986-87. 29

A FINAL HOMECOMING The 1987 homecoming celebration was the last one for the seniors to attend as students at Bartlett Yancey. Any fu- ture homecomings would find them alumni. This “final” week of activities was divided into four major events. Wednesday through Friday was designated as Spirit Week by the SGA. On each of the three days students and teachers dressed as Monsters, wore Old Fashioned clothes, and Dressed to Im- press, respectively. Among the most original was Mr. Whitten’s animal skins. The entire student body turned out to see the homecoming parade on Friday afternoon. Many of the clubs and organi- zations entered the float competition which was won by the SGA “Jaws” with the FHA and HOSA finishing second and third. The final two events of the week were the crowning of the queen and the big game itself. After a spirited campaign Mary Beth Sartin was crowned queen. Unfortunately the Buccaneers lost to state power Cummings to end the week. However, the seniors agreed that the en- tire “final” homecoming was a winning effort.
