A Year of Enhancing While students were improv- ing the usual, the outside world became aware of the unusual. In the fall, WKRG TV 5 visited the middle school campus to shoot a feature for the evening news. Adopted middle school dog Earl B. Taylor thrust the cam- pus into the spotlight when he made his television debut. While surrounding communities were learning about the campus, students were learning about each other. In the summer, Kristen Pearcy trav- eled to New York to begin her modeling career, posing for magazine issues from across the nation. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), comprised of 11 states, invited the Computer Lab to par- ticipate with an exhibit during the De- cember conference held in New Orleans, LA, the only high school to be invited. Celebrating their silver anniversary, the American Field Service (AFS) con- tinued their foreign tradition, sponsoring three students — the first time ever to do so — and sending one abroad. Interact adopted an International Child from Kenya for the first time and sent contributions to him monthly. The yearbook staff released 594 heli- um balloons during halftime ceremonies of the Foley-McGill game to kick off state playoffs, the first derby to be held at school. While students matured as people, the campus progressed along with them. A uniform curriculum and advanced diplomas offered improved academics county-wide, better preparing students for college careers and promoting ad- vanced courses. Academic departments improved as courses in French and Ad- vanced Placement (AP) English en- hanced course offerings, allowing stu- dents to obtain a more varied background in their eduction. A flow of upgrading swept across the three campuses as refurbishing was con- tinuously taking place, the most appreci- ated by high school and elementary stu- dents being the cafeteria air- conditioning. In a year of doing more, students, teachers, and administrators matured as individuals as the campus emerged bet- ter than before. ttjfm £)iwwt,(y -IX Q$ji i -: Doing More — Doing It Better 5
