WE WANT THE STICK - The juniors show great spirit as they yell for the ' Sprit Stick. Competition is an important factor in the Gold Pride shown at Charles Page High School. As Sandites we constantly face opponents of high quality in all areas of school life. Sticking together gives us the strength to overcome not only our opponents but also any situations that might occur within our school life. We have the unique task of upholding overall school unity while also' being separated as three class levels, battling against each other in assemblies, contests and traditional events. It has been obvious this year that all students place their priority on being a Sandite first and then a sophomore, junior or a senior, as it well should be. But when the time comes to outdo the other two classes, we give our all. Regularly, each class voices its desire to win the Sandite Spirit Stick in the pep assemblies. Although the distribution of the stick to the classes was close, once again the seniors took top honors in this competition. The annual paper drive was a greater success than ever before. The majority of the credit for this accomplishment went'to the sophomore class members, who were constant winners of the weekly contest. As the crush for money once again fell upon the junior class for funding the junior-senior prom, magazine sales became the usual last resort. For a short time it looked as though the juniors had no chance of raising the needed money but all at once the class turned in more than - enough money for the event. One of the most publicized contests between classes is the annual homecoming float competition. All will agree that an immense amount ot work goes into each float, not to mention the time and money donated by students, faculty, and parents. The much-expected and worked-for first place trophy went to the senior class who completed theirlhigh school record with a third, a second and a first place award. ln keeping with the theme of Grease , a box office movie hit in '78, the seniors built a huge pair of stuffed rock and rollers which tapped to the music of Grease played from the constructed juke box. Also seniors Mark Ietson Pogue and Jody Judy Rogers shared a soda in an old fashioned fountain glass while seated ana ice cream parlor table-and-chairs set. Second place went to the sophomore class followed by the juniors.
