And have gone on to further their education. On Har- ding's athletic side, we have gone i?1 just as far. Rams definitely make a ' i statement when they are on the field or on the court.

Practicing for ath- letic excellence, at- tending clup meetings, and striving for that 4.0 average are just some of the students' goals for a suc- cessful year. At l-larding, there are a lot of organizations that make getting involved easy. Various groups keep the student population extremely active. With foot- ball games, talent shovvs, and pageants, there is always something for everyone. Opportunity is never at a loss for any student willing to get involved. There are so many different kinds of people at l-larding. l-laving different thoughts, ideas, and pleasures just goes to show that no one is alike. One man's pot of gold is not going to be the same to someone else. The most important thing to remember is that there is gold for every- one, all that is needed is the incentive to GO FOR IT.

They were crowned by Rhonda Curry and Wendy Duncan. This prom was differentthan any prom Harding had seen before. There was a disc jock- ey instead ofa band and there were two screens set up to catch the facial expressions of the excited Rams. A video tape of the prom was made and copies were sold for twen- ty-five dollars. Also, instead of having a full meal, finger foods were served. There were also souvenirs available to remem- ber this special night. All in all, the 1987 prom was a huge success if only for one night.

When the novelty wears off the school year, students' thoughts wander to the lazy days of summer. For some there are memories of sum- mers past, while others look forward to making new memo- ries in the upcoming summer. ln any case, for everybody, summer is a time for layin' back, cuttin' loose, and party- ing! Some students recall great memories from their favorite summers. My favorite place to vacation during the summer is the beach. I don't care when, where, or why as long as there's sun, sand, and guys! says Lori Pope. The best time I ever had during the summer was going to Califor- nia, where I was surrounded by sun, good looking girls, and great food, needless to say I had a blast, states Greg Har- din. Summer is a great time for going out with your friends and having fun. Some students make the most of their lazy days by relaxing and taking it easy, while other students stay busy working for extra cash. Still, many loyal Flams come back before their summer is over to work on upcoming events such as the welcoming provided by the Executive Council, the vigorous training of numerous athletes, and the preparation for the Acorn by the Yearbook staff, For the Harding Rams there are no more lazy days until next sum- mer rolls around.

The bell rang, the doors slammed, and class was in session. Summer had ended and over 1000 students were at Harry P. for the first day of school. Many ninth graders were Till. amazed and awed by the amount of people participat- ing in the Ram tradition. Sophomores, however, were quite comfortable with their status on the academic ladder. The Juniors, were looking forward to purchasing class rings, going to the prom, and getting another year closer to the final countdown. Seniors, enjoying their last year in high school, would soon be off to college, getting full time jobs, and living on their own. From the looks on their faces we could tell they were ready to grow up and as- sume responsibilitles, while loving every minute of it. Yes, the first day of school opens. The first chapter to an- other Ftam saga begins.

I ilff ., K .4 f Q is ,lk um ll r What is Ram Pride? There is only one way to define such an extraordinary term, a day at Harding High School. Stu- dents at Harry P. are proud to be called Rams. Their endur- ance and dedication to the school prove this statement true, Although students are proud of their school, they are often caught sneaking a little snooze or gossiping about the weekend. The Rams also like to cut up and play around, teachers are not too happy about this but at least there is enthusiasm about being at school. Old friends are seen and new ones are being made ev- eryday at the Big School is a great place to socialize and have a great time, but we should not forget the true meaning of school, to become better educated and to be- come better people. The Rams are a proud bunch of people and after all, that is what l-larding l-ligh, not to mention Ram Pride, is all about. .... 3' Chris Rhyne is caught catnapping during lunch.

As the ball is snapped, the Iron Rams' defense stop the Lions. Ram Pride, pass it on. The cheerleaders bellow out an- other cheer for Harding. The Ram stands amazed as he looks on. Even when Jonathan Byers is tack- led, he ends up on top. i This year the Iron Rams foot- ball team was not expected to be the team they were in the past. But the team proved the skeptics wrong. They did a dy- namic job of showing that Har- ding spirit. They definitely had a winning season. The fans showed a lot of support to the football team, the band, and the school. They devoted themselves to Qt . Q .-at-1fsaf.,.k A . um In .Q ,.., its the Rams. Often times you would hear chants and yells coming from the fans to give praise to the team or just let- ting the referee know how they felt about a call. The cheer- leaders also gave the team their support. Their voices would ring through the air as another touchdown was scored. At halftime the Marching Coach Rego carefully discusses the Fiams' next move. They love to dazzle the crowd. Another Ram point is scored by punt- er Bill Baker. He knows how to get the job done. Rams would put on a show that usually left the crowds in awe. Some people came to games just to hear the band perform. This goes to show that Ram Pride never dies. Friday nights were special times for people to get togeth- er and have a good time. The football team truly went for the gold.

The lack of hair or the abundance of it, a fashionable style or a classic one, wildly fixed or subdued and natural, all tell people your tastes, feelings, and your point of view in this world. Here at Harding there are many differ- ent people with different styles and tastes who express them in many ways, especially through their hair. Hair styles come and go quickly. Something that is the rave today can be considered grossly unfashionable tomor- row. You can look back years and be amazed at the clothes you wore or the way you styled your hair. Some past styles can make you laugh or even cry. Boys' hairstyles have the biggest difference this year. Shaved hair is the most popu- lar style. Logo symbols, names, lines and abstract de- signs are used to decorate and draw attention to the heads of many guys at our school. Mousses, gels, and hairsprays are also used to help get the desired effects. There is a huge variety of styles and preferences for people to choose. These styles and preferences are mostly shown through your ap- pearance. A person's appear- ance is the most noticeable way to show your feelings about life. Style can tell a lot about a person. This Ram shows his true style and with the posh Gucci symbol class shaved in his hair. This interesting style of hair cut is quite popular this year, No matter the style, people at Har- ding stick together, Kenneth Hopper and Larry Brown demonstrate the closeness and friendship that is fol- lowed here.

The eighties have brought about many changes, but few that we haven't seen or heard of before. Miniskirts, turtle-necks under slip-over sweaters, acid wash, and saddle oxfords are 20X Fashion in this year's line-up. Even the once forgotten penny loafer and bobby socks are making a fashion statement. The amazing truth about a particular style of fashion is that it is usually a reflection of its owner. It seems that most peo- ple are attracted to a certain style or color and it's not un- common to hear someone say that a specific outfit looks just like you. We have come to as- sociate the look with the per- son. As the Fashion Express makes its rounds on campus, the Hdressers and the im- pressers have first-class tick- ets to rule the halls.

The team has been Tri- County Champions three years in a row and this season they were the Western State Champions. Coach Knotts and his guys went a long way. The Rams were a tough team this yearg they went 10-0. The team was not expected to be as spectacular a team as they were in the past, but many minds were After a grueling practice, Fionnie Jenkins and Shawn Springs take a break and get a drink of water. The Rams must practice hard to keep a number one team. Anthony Rice was interviewed by Gary Cohl from Channel Nine Sports for being one of the outstanding play- ers on the Iron Ram football team. 22! Champs changed as the season pro- gressed. Being number one was what the Rams strived for. The last time Harding won a State Championship was 1953 and 1954. The Rams had not gone that far until the past two years. The supporters of the football team have a right to be very proud of Harding and the guys should be proud of them- selves. The Harding Rams did not have the history of a winning tra- .L fx r gi 16 dition or successful footprints to follow, but they did not allow that to deter them from being the best that they could be. With that kind of pride and determina- tion, the present day Rams are making a history of their own. As five year old Matthew Means re- marked at the end of the State Championship game, Don't cry Mommy, l'm going to grow up and be a Harding Ram.

SP0l'FiIG Till GULF A class ring is a symbol of a student's completion of a very important phase of his educa- tion. Ring Day , as it is called, is always an exciting time forjuniors and seniors be- cause they are purchasing something that will be one of their most treasured posses- sions. While the purchase of the ring is exciting and enjoyable, it can also be frustrating and mind-boggling because of some very difficult questions that the student must ask him- self: What color stone do I want? What, if anything, do I want on the sides of the ring? Shall I use white or yellow gold? As every junior and se- nior knows, designing your personal ring is no easy task. Once the ring is on the finger, however, juniors and seniors soon forget the difficult time they had personalizing it, and instead eagerly start sporting the gold. Ring Day 25 Rodrick Cole, Bobby Sober, Scott Tate, Jonathan Byers, and Ed Lawing were the contestants for the Mr. Har- ding contest. They each express school spirit and Ram Pride.

The titles these two people hold are very dear to them and to Harding. They represent the Rams with class. The 1987-88 contestants for the Miss Harding pageant were Heather Aycock, Mi- chelle Beacham, Joy Bras- well, Rhonda Curry, Wendy Duncan, Mona Mclllwain, Michelle Lane, Kenya Little, Brenda Williams, and Bri- gette Woods. These girls were visions of loveliness as they were interviewed and Brenda Williams is glowing with hap- piness as she is crowned Miss Har- ding. The contestants wait patiently as the pageant proceeds. We are lucky that each of them would make a fine queen. judged on their posture. Each contestant was unique and ex- pressed herself in a very spe- cial way. When asked how it feels to be Miss Harding, Brenda Wil- Iiams, the recipient of the title said, lt is an exciting experi- ence being able to represent Harding. Brenda was sur- prised she won the title. She says that the Harding family supported her the most. Scott Tate was chosen to be Mr. Harding. A contest was held during both lunches and Scott was the one who had the most money donated to him. This goes to show that l.l.Y Scott is well liked among the Rams. Scott is also involved in many activities. Scott feels it is an honor and a privilege to represent his school as Mr. Harding. He said the contest was tough but he had a lot of support. The first semester, second lunch crowd are his biggest supporters. As representatives of Har- ding High School, Brenda Wil- Iiams and Scott Tate do a su- perb job. They both love Har- ding and are proud to be Rams. Scott and Brenda truly deserve to be called Mr. and Miss Harding. 27 Mr. and Miss Harding The excited Ram Band takes time out from performing to cheer on the Iron Rams. f3 '?'f'?

This year the band was fortunate to get new uniforms. After much hard work and many meetings, the Band Parents Association was able to provide the band with beautiful suits and over- lays. The band took pride in marching for Harding and it was important to them to look good. It was a lot of hassle to get dressed at school before the games, but it was worth it. Being prepared for the big show was what the band strived for. The Drum majors for this year's band were Aaron Brown and Robin Sharpe. They were dedicated to the Bams and loved what they were doing for their school. Many times Aaron and Robin would strut their stuff to please the crowd. The uniforms were beautiful and they really made the band look great.

One of the new events this year was the Powder Puff foot- ball game. On Wednesday, the football players took the side- lines to watch the girls of the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes take the field. The football game was 30 Spirit Week very exciting. The girls showed determination and skill because both teams wanted to win bragging rights . However, the final score was tied, seven to sev- en, with Rhonda Curry scor- ing for the Seniors and Ber- nitta Cauthen for the Under- classmen. Other clubs and organiza- tions also held events during the week. These included the Rap and Tap Show sponsored by the varsity cheerleaders, the Haunted House for Hallow- een assembled by the SADD Club, the Spirit Ribbons sold by the Executive Council, and the Happy Hands provided by the Applied Economics class of Mr. Lloyd Davis.

During the week of February 7-13, 1988 seventeen fortu- nate Harding students were able to spend a memorable time exploring the inner work- ings of our nations capital: Washington, DC. Under the supervision of Mr. Jon Strong, the Project Close-Up students were able to experience first- hand the kind of information they had only read about or heard about on the news. ln addition, they had the good fortune of combining business with pleasure, as some were visiting the city for the first time. The purpose of Project Close-Up is to familiarize stu- dents with governmental pro- cedures and protocol. Stu- dents trom all over the United States, from the Lone Star State of Texas to the glittering sunshine state of California, assemble during this week to partake in pre-planned activi- ties designed to increase their knowledge of issues and events that influence and af- fect their lives. lt seems logical then, that the very place to do this is in Washington, for it is here that politicians, lobbyists, and special interest groups determine our fate economi- cally, socially, and perhaps even morally. Project Close-Up is a worthwhile adventure that ev- ery student should consider experiencing. It provides a better understanding ofthe in- tricacies of our government and moreover, it gives some- thing that can't be read about or imagined - it presents a close-up view of Washington itself. Close-Up 35 Melva Peed puts the mustard on the hot dog to the customer's taste. She is one of the many Harding students who use their after hours to make some money. Michael Crawley and Lori Eichler can't wait for the slush and snow to melt before they get out on the court and play some ball. They spend their few extra hours doing what they like best, playing basketball. 'im-' '--qi Freedom Mall provides some Harding stu- dents with jobs, while other students use the mall for shopping or to just hang out. This sign is a familiar scene to most Rams. t X W . --is When most people think of a high school student, they usu- ally don't consider the busy at- ter hours that are in these stu- dents' days. Contrary to popular belief, school is not the only responsibility for high school students. Harding stu- dents are not any different. A job is very important to the average teenager for the main and major reason: money! Since there aren't many Hrichies' or extremely vvell-to' do students, there is a large number ot workers at Harding. Harris-Teeter supplies a lot ot students with a vvay to earn some cold hard cash. Freedom lvlall also offers many Harding students jobs. Besides jobs, other Harding students keep themselves quite busy vvith after school activities such as sports, cheerleading, clubs, and putting together the yearbook. Still others till their tree hours vvith working on their cars. practicing with their own private band, horseback riding. or lust getting out and going shopping. Whatever activity is chosen, most Harding Rams keep themselves busy during their atter hours. After Hours X37 Clay Poteat climbs into his good looking Trans Am as Ricky Herrera waits patiently. This is an example of one of Harding's well kept cars. This 1966 Mustang is owned by Todd Abernathy. lt's one of the beau- tiful classics driven to the Harding parking lot. Q t V -f .. . T 'I .

A at as To the average teenager, a car is a blessing, a necessity, more than just a way ot trans- portation. lt's used to get you to the school parking lot in time to hear the one-minute warning bell, and then to get you home after a hard day's work of studying and learning, lt's also used and abused to sneak away from school tor a more delectable lunch, or to just waste tread by spinning out in the parking lot. A car is used in 38! Cars many ways by a high school student. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a car. Less for- tunate students often hitch rides with their friends. These needy students aren't usually snooty about the condition of someone else's oar. Anything goes as long as you have that ride. lvlost of the cars owned by Harding students are average, there aren't expensive BIVIWS parked beside fancy Mercedes. The majority of cars in the Harding parking lot are older Toyotas, Fords, and Chevro- lets. Occasional 'tluckies and hardworkers end up getting their dream car, but it's usually after hours of trouble, either from begging, pleading, and promising their parents, or from back breaking work. Either way at Harding, a car is a valuable possession. Not all of our drivers prefer cars. Sidd Flapp proves this with his motor- cycle. ii ., were .zwsyaxuizr-swf, ' ppi, ' 1 at J. 3 i,i' SFT? as N t Q e.1iii t ie,i .liri l ,, ' ' r, pepei t i t, vw 9 :Fam . .L + if ' 'QTS' H :X'gyg1.Q,:x1 ifl. 45' Pg va , .'rp, ' l,r '... isle as- Simi?

Sometimes it is hard to tell what someone is think- ing, and other times you can tell when mischief is in the air. Facial expressions tell much about a person. The things people will do for attention are amazing. Often, AL., ...A acting foolish and making faces can get a few laughs. Sometimes people just do things to make others happy or cheer them up. The students at Harding are sensitive to other's feelings and are always there for each other. Thanks to the humor of some of the Rams, school is never dull. Whether people smile, frown, pucker up, or just stick out their tongue, the different faces are a part of everyday life at Harding High. lf it wer- en't for the different types of people around school, the days would be dull and it wouldn't be any fun, Lisa Ledwell looks tired and disgust ed as she waits for the band to pro- ceed with their practice. Faces 41 The students at Harding High have many different hobbies. Some of the hobbies go along with their personalities and some hobbies are very surpris- ing. The things people do in their spare time can be very amusing. Reading is one hobby that is very popular, Being able to es- cape into a book can be excit- ing. Reading enables one to become part of a fantasy vvorld. Writing or drawing is another hobby among students at Harding. Expressing thoughts and feelings on paper is easier for some people than others. Creating stories and images broadens one's imagination. Watching television is obvi- ously the most favorite hobby. lt is such an easy hobby and many seem to love it. Television is very entertaining and it pro- vides a relaxed atmosphere. Hobbies are very much a part of the average day of a Ram. Hobbies can be educa- tional and also be relaxing. All in all, hobbies are very impor- tant to a person's personality and their surprising traits. R X I A s 42! Hobbies ,A iii tl y Jimmy Hall shows that writing is his favorite hobby. Some people have the creative ability to produce imagi- native stories. S 'K - wwf -i l . it Although these two students are doing classwork, reading is a hobby that some students at Harding enjoy. Television is a hobby most common to people. George Steen sits in front of his T.V. watching his favorite show. The Newspaper Staff has to do a lot of writing, so obviously they have made this into their hobby. Hobbies X43 Best buddies. What would a person be without one? All of the little ups and downs that make up a teenagers world would be unbearable if there wasn't someone there to help them cope. People need friends that care about them and that are fun to be with. That's what best friends are all about. Almost everyone has a per- son that they can call their best friend. These friends have qualities that make them stand apart from average peo- ple, They have strains of loyal- ty, love, and trust in them that can't be broken and are al- ways there for you in good or bad times, They also give the best advice, because who else could know what is best for you than the one person who knows your exact feel- ings, preferences, and dreams? A best buddy knows all of these things without hav- ing to ask. Lucinda Ramsey and Michelle Lane share a fun moment of laughter while Lori Pope calmly ignores them, These three seem to be having a good time at one of the Harding football games, 44 Friendship 4 :llfll'll'l+l1'll'll'll'lflflfl+ll'l1'4 4 4 4 4 lil trustworthy 4 lj wonderful 4 El bad 4 4 Cl interesting 4 Cl lovable 4 4 4 My Best Friend 4 Must Be: 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4l1'lfll'll'l1'l1'l1'l1'll'll'lfll'll'l+ll' Karl Windsor spends some time hanging out and having fun with his friends Doug Berry and Tony Lee.

The ever famous Rhonda Davis is once again caught chatting on the phone. Sure hope no one is waiting to use it. What exactly do Rams enjoy doing when they are not in class? Well, there are many dif- ferent activities that allow them to take a break from the hum- drum beat of attending class, studying for exams, and being a part of the Ram scene. Lunch time is probably one of the biggest highlights of the school day. While most stu- dents do enjoy eating, the lunch break is most often used as the gossip break. During this time, students get the chance to catch up on the lat- est news. Students also enjoy perfect- ing their skills in sports as well as attending various games and watching others who have more ability than they. While they do enjoy the games, at- tending sports events is really a good time to see who is wear- ing the latest in fashion, and Wanting to put the ball through the hoop, Aaron Brown takes the form of his unstoppable jumper. Keep that winning attitude. Never once taking her eyes off her book, Patricia Lynn studies for that killer English test. Good luck!

Clothes are important to her. lllll s',.:-- Z X jf. fw if People can become ob- sessed with different things. Wanting has become a way of life. At Harding, new fads come often. A lot of times you hear, Look at her gold, or l've got to have that! The Rams take pride in getting new and better things. Jewelry is the most popular obsession anyone can have. Getting new rings or necklaces always make a person look and feel good. Wearing your love's class ring is always in style. Having gold makes a person feel special and people at Hard- ing love to show their's off. Another obsession students have is clothes. Being in style and looking good is what one strives for. People pay close at- tention to those that are looking good. Cars can also be considered an obsession. Some always want something better than they have and others think they have the ultimate vehicle. Sometimes people let cars be- Q is sl ss x-'15, 1. W , .I i--- .2 i .. -l'. f .

One must always take into consideration the conse- quences of being obsessed with an item. No matter what, there will always be obessions in the world. They are some- times a way of coping with or avoiding reality. Michelle Perkins shows us that tur- tle necks are a fashion statement. Clothes have always been more im- portant to some people than others. The Karman Ghia is a unique car. It is made in Germany and is produced by Volkswagen.

Proving her poetic ability, Evelia Brown raps to Be Yourself. The lmperators express the variety of music and how it has changed through the years. If you like L.L., Pun DMC. and Kool Moe Dee, then you are sure to love the Gents 9 Y FII Each year as tradition has it, the lmperators sponsor a year- end talent show to spotlight any Pam who dares to iam. This years talent showcased every art, from dancing to rap- ping to singing, and covered every era from the fifties up through the eighties. As it was appropriately titled, the nine- teen eighty-eight lmperator Talent Show was truly Rockin Through The Years . To get this gala event rockin' what more is needed than the silly antics of our lm- peratores? They lip-synched to such classics as Charlie Brown and Love Will Keep Us Together , then topped it off with the eighty-eight hit Naughty Girls . One multi- faceted act lead to another. Bryan O'Quinn moved the crowd with his funky mixture of Prince sounds and Michael Jacksons The Way You Make Me Feel . Speaking of Jacksons, no her first name ain't Baby, it's Katrina! Ms. Hoyle heated up the beat with her dance number to The Pleasure Principle . No show can go without the mellow sounds of a few slow grooves, such as t'Somewhere Out There , sung by Sarah Bowser and Steve Walker, Without You , belted out by Wanda Baxter, and Saving All My Love For You , as har- monized by Natasha Land. Pap is definitely in effect, that was proved by the G-E-N-T-S . . . GENTS! They rocked the block and thrilled the crowd with a real rap song. l-low do ya like'em now? To add dimen- sion to the event, Just US, Crystal Timmons, Debon- aire, Sweet Success, and Salt-n-Peppa also per- formed. By the finale, the performers had the crowd dancing, shak- ing their heads, throwing up their hands, and yelling Go 'head , Go 'head , until the lights came on for the final time. Talent Show 61 62 Pride of Achievement ride is achieving in academics. Striving for good grades is what high school is all about. l-lovvever, do- ing your best is what really counts. The classes avail- able range from hands on courses to the ones which require a lot of study time. Many courses given help students in making plans for the future. Excellence in academics is not easy to come by, but the honors ex- ceed the hardships of studying. Aca- demics plays an important part when preparing for the college of your choice or the job you hope to occupy. No matter what you are planning for the future, success is only reached when you are happy with what you do. Taking pride in your achievements is one vvay to go for the gold. But, continuing to set high goals and never giving up is what reach- ing the gold is all about. ft Cwyf YK F V 'iif pyix . wig. l E 'Q 1 .,.4sv ,mr Some of the Jr. Marshalls take a break after a job well done at gradu- ation.

By working hard and giving their all, these stu- dents show us that they can do anything that is handed their way. Using their own personal strategies, the students at Harding have made a commit- ment to receive the type of education that will provide them an opportunity to further their secondary training, to en- ter the job market, to become leaders in the community, and to become productive citizens in our society. They are willing to sacrifice their extra curricu- lar time to study during their lunch periods and before and after school. lt's not uncom- mon to see a couple of Rams putting their heads together to figure out a math theory, a lan- guage concept, ora chemical formula. While others find better things to do, the students here use their time wisely to work toward their future. They have diverse career goals, but you can believe that Harding will have many graduates who will become successful profes- sionals. Taking a break from the daily routine, these students catch up on the latest news. They will be well informed on current events. Linh Myugen ponders over a difficult Analysis problem. She seems really engrossed in the task at hand. 64 Study Habits ti . 5 5+ m l 1 Teresa Rudisill, Rodney Staton, and Ftodney Wright try to put last minute touches on homework. Their teachers will appreciate it greatly. ,TX Chuck Bowman is busy at work as he prepares for class. On the other hand, an unidentified student tries to catch up on much needed rest. Study, Study, Study, does it ever end? Karen Freeman does not seem to think so. Teresa Crump works on her picture with seemingly great enthusiasm. A masterpiece will develop from such creativity. 66 Crea tive Thinking John Broome works on a chair while friends willingly supervise, Their corn- bined skill will show in the finished product. ld A X ,, A+' : en W f Q Q X - WMPFN ART BEAT The mixing of paint and the hammering of nails can give anyone the impression that work has begun. Not everyone can be a famous artist or the greatest carpenter, but by en- rolling in either an art or wood- shop class you can express your creative talents. Art is fun, but can some- times get frustrating. Knowing what colors to use and the vvay to pose a picture can really baffle someone's mind. With free hand drawing, you can decide whether or not you have complete control over your art pencil. Doing your best can really pay off. During the year many students have their best work put in an art- show. The feeling of having it entered is almost as great as winning. Woodshop can involve many hours of vvork. Using a hammer and nail can some- times get discouraging, but think of the hard Work and de- termination that goes in with the finished product. Students are both amazed and proud of what they accomplish. Through woodshop, they make chairs, shelves, tables, and perhaps begin what could prove to be a promising ca- reer. Bryan Sanders really does think Diana Ross is supreme. His work shows that we have great talent at Harding. Carl Windsor demonstrates the con- centration required to out a piece of wood using a power saw. He proves that woodshop takes dedication and diligence. Creative Thinking 67 Rtitliltb AT WORK The classes of Graphics and Drafting are demanding yet rewarding. Both take preci- sion, accuracy, and hardwork, Graphics helps the school immensely by printing the newspapers and the programs for different events. In addi- tion, Graphics can be used as a math credit. Drafting is also an interest- ing, but complex class. Stu- dents have to create blue- prints with exactness and per- fection. Drafting can prepare a student for a career in engi- neering, architectural, and technical drafting, and, of course, through drafting any- one can learn to create his dream house. These two classes provide the students at Harding a start on the careers they choose for the future. 'Mw- 1415 is. 68 Ruling Classes Mr. SiIver's class gathers around to print out a program for Graphics. This kind of class participation will make any teacher proud.

V 22fezfaQl:5::s1I'- ff I Q D- Formula for Success Chemistry and computers are two classes that can lead any student in the direction of a great and prosperous ca- reer. They provide students with an excellent background for college as well as endless career opportunities. Both are challenging and interesting courses that are available to any student at Harding. Through the study of chem- istry, students can pursue ca- reers in medicine, engineer- ing, teaching, or scientific re- search. With the advancement of technology, a good back- 70 Formulas ground in chemistry can pre- pare a student for various ave- nues of interest. lf a student is not interested in a career in chemistry, the personal growth achieved by exposure to it can be just as rewarding. ln the field of computers, students can become opera- tors, programmers and ex- perts in any area which re- quires the use of computers. The job market today offers a multitude of careers for the person who is familiar with the operation and maintenance of computers. lt is not uncom- mon to see students at Har- ding trying their hand at be- coming computer literate, for they are aware of how much computers affect their lives. Students interested in en- rolling in chemistry or comput- ers are very fortunate to have two teachers with remarkable expertise in their respective fields. Ms. McRae and Ms. Middleton. Both have the knowledge and patience that make students enjoy their courses. '1- ,vine .ow thi? sts? t ' 4' T , , Lil? .

At the end of the Junior year, the Guidance Department deter- mines the academic rank of the students of that class. Ap- proximately 25 students are picked as Junior Marshall to assist and escort the Senior class on Graduation and Ma- roon and Gold Day. During the festivities on Ma- roon and Gold Day, 10 out- standing students are tapped to become Impera- tors. These students have been nominated by teachers based on their dedication to and involvement with the school. They are also chosen for their conduct and determi- nation to succeed. lmperators lead the school's Graduation Ceremonies, each giving a farewell speech. Both the Ju- nior Marshalls and the Impera- tors are commendable repre- sentatives of the school. i w 'gf 0, lf, , . . .f f , nf, 431 K...fu rv. f,. if 1. . .i fr, tl '11, X '16, Q Q .dis 'C' 'it fl' C 5 nvbfkgx' .U o fgd oo ..

Be- ing smart has its rewards. Those who are awarded a position in the Honor Society are selected because of their displays of leadership, ser- vice, truth and knowledge, and outstanding character. These outstanding students must have at least a 3.6 grade point average throughout the school year. Then there are those who didn't quite make the Society but displayed much of the same characteris- tics as the above. The Beta Club is made up of the most influential students of our school. Members must maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average throughout their high school career. So being book smart does have its advantages, and these prestigious clubs give l-larding students an honor- able goal to work for. M With a nervous smile, Christine Dyvig takes hold of the candle that makes her induction complete. And I Promise to . . . National Honor Society inductions are a joyous occa- sion for all involved. The Prestige 77 --- 78 lt Can Happen t can really happen. lt does not matter vvhat size you are as long as you believe in something anything is possible. The gold is out there, but you have to have the will to go out and reach it. When you are on a team, vvhether it is football, soccer, volleyball, or track, you can learn hovv to vvork together. Although there are better quarter- backs, forvvards, spikers, and run- ners than others, the team can not be successful without everyone doing his best. The ability sometimes comes nat- ural, but the desire to strive for perfection must come from within. With any team, you have to vvant to reach the gold before you can honestly say that you tried hard to get it. The task vvill never be easy and the road to success will be long, but when you reach your pot of gold, you vvill knovv it because you vvill have the satisfaction needed to go on for more. 5, ft 2 1 2 ln , it g ,L,,.' . 5 - K.

Using dedica- tion, and hard work and main- taining an image of excellence and pride, the boys were un- stoppable.

Although their record had 10 losses, they had a good season and finish two games over .500 at 12-10. All ofthe losses were close ones. The team never lost in a blow- out. One point deficits were a regularity in the season. The wins though, were great ones that used a combination of great pitching, decisive de- fense, and big swinging bat- ters. Key players in the season were Calvin Smith, whose in- spirational plays lifted the Rams spirits many times, Scott Tate, whose pitching was excellent, Eddie Smith, who also pitched well, Chris Rhyne, an offensive threat, and Darrin Hart and Michael Ferguson, whose consistent plays were greatly appreciat- ed throughout the long, hard season. The Rams again should have a strong team with some powerful J.V.'s com- ing up. The J.V. team had a good season, also. There were just a few more losses, but they still hung in there. The J.V. boys also had close losses. In the coming seasons, the J.V. boys will find the right track and ride to victory. 84 Baseball The team celebrates their lead as Mi- chael Ferguson prepares to take his turn at bat.

Cross-Country is a sport that takes 1002, commitment and also takes a lot of rigorous practice and training to pre- pare for the grueling meets. The Cross-Country teams con- sist of outstanding runners such as, Halley Aires, Cla- rence Taylor, Steve Rigsbee, Lachandra Smith, Jimmy Lochleider, and Bill Baker. The two main runners for the team are Steve Ftigsbee and Lachandra Smith. These two runners finished first in the Tri- County race at lvlcAlphine Greenway. Steve Rigsbee has received a lot of publicity on his running ability. He has won many meets and is sure to be one of the few remem- bered. Before the Tri-County Championship race he injured his ankle. He was way ahead of the pack and he had to slow down because of his ankle. But when it came time for the big one, he was ready. Steve broke away from the pack at the one and a half mile marker and finished first with a time of 16:47. In the girls race, speed- ster Lachandra Smith broke away at the one mile marker and finished with a time of 20:44. Congratulations go out to the fine runners of the Cross-Country team for their excellent season. 88 Cross-Coun try The agony of striving to be number one is showing on Steve Rigsbees face. When it comes to Cross-Country, being first is one of Steve's main traits. All eyes are on Steve Fiigsbee as he once again finishes in first place at McAIpine Greenway in the Tri-County Championships.

Although there were a lot of injuries on the team, the Rams caused a few bruises themselves! Some of the Hwalking wounded were Dean Lamperski, David Neese, and Kevin Hughes. These injuries could have had a part in hampering the teams success. All in all, the boys soccer team had a great time going on the field and showing off their talents.

They train hard and vigorously so that they will develop into the type of players needed for the var- sity team. Based on their per- formance and natural ability, it seems safe to say that our op- ponents will have their work cut out for themselves when they come face to face with this bunch of young men. The JV team is young and strong and seems destined to carry on the enjoy. Having a solid foundation is what makes a good team a great one. The JV team is in the process of emerging into the kind of team few will forget. The Junior Varsity does not get as much press or recognition as the varsity, but it is just as important as it strives to make Harding the best. 94! JV Football The JV defense stops a West Char- lotte Lion dead in his tracks. The fu- ture looks great for the Varsity team. Ronnie Chandler, Everett Threat, Larry Hubbard, can't wait to get in to the game and run up the scoreboard. They are some of the players that make JV a winning team. The JV huddles before the game to hear a few words of encouragement.

The talented Rams notched their second undefeated regu- lar season in three seasons and third consecutive Tri- County championship enroute to the North Carolina 4A State Championship game. After winning an unprecedently fourteen straight games, the Ram state championship hopes were dashed by a strong Garner Trojan team be- hind the dynamic running of All-American Anthony Bar- bour. Even though the season ended with a disappointing loss, 1987 was an exciting, successful season, and it will long be remembered by play- ers and fans alike. The tone for the '87 season was set in the season opener with a strong showing against Independence. The huge Pa- triot team tried to outman the smaller Rams, but the scrappy Pam team shutout the Patriots 28-O. The following weeks saw the same type strategy used against Harding, but quick- ness and aggressiveness pre- vailed. After close victories over East lvleck Q6-31 and Olympic Q13-7l and solid wins over Crest and arch-rival West Charlotte, West Mecklen- burg's undefeated indians came to Harding to unseat the defending champs in what was billed as the Game of the Year . On this night, however, the Rams, after a scoreless first half, were not to be de- nied. The Ffams turned to their patented hook and lateral play to open up a lead in the third quarter and the Pam defense shut out the Indians for a tough 24-O win. After slaughtering East Gaston 61-7 to cap the undefeated season the Rams turned their attention to the State Playoffs. Playoff compe- tition was extremely tough, and in the opening round the Rams were faced into a re- match with Independence. This game was the seasons thriller. The Rams were down by 17 points with nine minutes remaining, but battled back from the deficit to escape with a 34-32 heartstopper. Tough victories followed over Gasto- nia Ashbrook, lvlorganton Freedom, and Greensboro Grimsley before reaching the Championship round against Garner. Offensively, the Rams were paced by quarterback Ed Lawing and fullback Jona- than Byers. Lawing finished the season with an impressive 25 touchdowns while complet- ing 5404, of his passes for 2543 yards. Byers was named the Tri-County Player of the Year as he powered his way to 1642 yards. The offensive line was bolstered by All-Conference performer Sam Pressley and the intelligent junior Mark Lat- timore. Darrin Hart, Anthony Rice, and Joey Huffstetler had outstanding years at their receiver positions. Pamball was the name of the game on defense, and the Rams earned a reputation as the city's best. Quickness and aggressiveness were the keys in allowing opponents an aver- age of only nine points per game. Channel 3 Player of the Year Jeff Wilson seemed to be the soul of the Ram His sixteen sacks and eight tackles for losses were une- qualled in Charlotte. Darrell Gray anchored the line at the nose, and newcomer Steven Byers improved every week. Outside linebacker Vincent Guy and strong safety Redd Cole were the big play makers on the perimeter, while the middle was manned by tough linebackers Mike Barbour and Vernon Hunter. 1987 is one that ended on a low note for the spirited Rams, but their lofty accomplish- ments, inspiring teamwork, and positive attitude will not soon be forgotten by the school and community. The old adage, lt's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game, is surely appli- cable to the '87 Rams be- cause these Pams really played the game! 1987 was a season that all could be proud of, and one that every coach, player, and fan shall cherish for a long time. Varsity Football 97 THE QUEST T0 BE THE BEST Some of our varsity teams most promising players lie just below at the junior varsity lev- el. These young athletes are constantly up against the same sort of opposition older athletes are up against. This is an advantage to the younger players. Those who move up to the varsity level have pre- viously experienced the pres- sureg they know what is to be expected in order to play a good game. lvlore importantly, they know what it is to win and to lose because the best times are not the triumphs, but the struggles. This year our J.V. players X 3 -uf 1- G PH A R 'Q El lf. i '.. r I- And here we see it - two points in the making, But who made the shot? Michael Crawley and Dino Cornelius focus on what this guy has to say. On the other hand. Marlowe Lotharp is more concerned with whatever is in the bottle. 98 Lookout have had a tough season, find- ing it hard to be consistent in their attempt to play effective basketball. Where the team excels in some areas, it may lack in others. This is a set- back that the coach and his players wish to correct and set forward. Under some circumstances, in their quest to be the best, the junior Rams showed defi- nite signs of big potential. They've shown their oppo- nents that they are a team to be reckoned with even when the chips are down. No matter who wins the game, their op- ponents know that these boys aren't to be taken for granted. Although the J.V, players have much to learn, on the contrary, they also have much to offer. Learning fundamental ball control, complimenting team coordination, and lend- ing their own personal tech- niques to the games, these players will be the welcomed assisters, ball handlers, and stars of future varsity teams. From this standpoint, it is clear that the coach, and those loyal to Ram ball will be steady on the lookout for those hot pros- pects. v - Michael Crawley is obviously ready to stop any attempted play. This is the stuff Rams are made of. i N, . ,,Q- -sv- ?' , . -if What's with all the shocked expres- sions?

That is exactly what the unrelenting Junior Varsity girls do to their opponents when the buzzer signals the start of a game. The Junior Varsity girls and their coach, Mr. David Collins, are a rare breed indeed. Though they are both young and inexperienced, they do not allow that small matter to interfere with their game plan. Using aggressive offensive and feared defensive playing to stifle the efforts of lesser op- ponents, the J.V. girls know how to get the job done. The 1987-1988 Junior Varsi- ty team is relatively small in size, but lacks nothing in heart and soul. They are learning to perfect their skills in ball con- trol and to improve their free shooting percentages. These young ladies will one day wear the jerseys of the Varsity team, so whatever you do, don't cross them, or you may find yourself in court. SCOREBOARD HARDING vs. South Meck t.

Although our boys were off to a slow start, this in no way hampered the hopes of the team. With new players, new strategies, and a new coach, the Rams set out to bump ev- ery boundary of basketball. Robert Moore, Former Johnson C. Smith University coach, joined us here in Ram Country during the latter months of 1987 in hopes ofco- ordinating a competitive team. Powerhouses Scott Tate, Mark Hailey, Volo Deas, and Troy Johnson, along with the diversity of Aaron Brown and Darren Hart, provided the emotional spark that motivat- ed delirious fans' cheering and romping during the course of the games. And, of course, without the assistance of all those unmentioned, this could not be accomplished. lt's not who wins, but how the game is played - that is the main is- sue. lt's certainly true to say that under the athletic leader- ship of Coach Moore, the team'has 'demonstrated a re- markable desire to play funda- mental basketball as well as the desire to project the good techniques required to win games. At this point, the season high has been the game against West Mecklenburg, the only other winless team in Tri-Country 4A Basketball. The Rams succeeded in beating the Indians by a margin of ten points for a final score of 83 to 73. Like every team, the Rams have their ups and downs, their streaks and skids, and their highs and lows. It's all part of the game. Fast paced mechanism, concentration, team assisting, and a bit of ambition are the elements that make the sport what it is. With this in mind, the boys went on to defeat Crest, at Crest, by a score of 63 to 62. Many times there were extra restrictions imposed when a team plays in an unfamiliar at- mosphere. Not only must it maneuver defensively against the opposing team, but it must also deal with the emotional breakdown their fans con- stantly try to impose with the intent to intimidate the visitors. ln our case, however, this makes the win all the more sweet, the victory all the more triumphant, and the Rams all the more tough. Leaving the worst behind, you can be sure the varsity boys are upward bound. Now that they have ironed out the major weaknesses and put a halt on airballs , and brick shots, from now on, the varsity Rams will be puttin' on the hits. SCOREBOARD V. BOYS' BASKETBALL .

Shooting three-pointers, hitting lay-ups, and playing killer defense are just some of the outstanding traits that make this year's basketball team first class. They show that you don't have to be tall, lanky, or male to play the game. Although the 1987-88 team has only a few players, the team continues to be energet- ic while executing plays throughout the game. The girls do what is expected of them no matter how grim the chance of winning may seem. Having the winning edge helps them accomplish last minute points to save the game and bring home a victo- ry. The Varsity girls, led by ju- nior power forward, Lori Eichler and orchestrated by sophomore point guard, La- Chaundra Smith, are certainly a force to be reckoned with. They show each week what unity and perseverance can do for a team. Finally, a true champion isn't necessarily a winner on the scoreboard but a winner at heart, and this is what the var- sity girls show us every time they walk onto the court.

I heard cheers of support from a crowd of whom I was scarcely aware. At that moment, there was only me, my opponent, and a refer- ee that I was sure would not help me in this situation. As I began my slow walk onto the mat, perspiration, no sweat was beginning to make a slow but steady stream from my forehead. The opponent across the mat was becoming my biggest fear.

There was a blur from my movements after what seemed like an eternity, and the whistle buzzed in my head and brought me back to my I-Iarding senses, There, lying like the remains of a Pit Bull attack, was the monster, pinned once again.

The way they strut their stuff on the sidelines is just enough to get anyone off their feet to move to that 'tlron Ram beat. The cheerleaders know that it is all up to them to move the crowd. To some, the role of a cheer- leader may seem difficult, but all that is really required is the determination to work hard and to have pride in being a Ram. 108! Cheering That, along with a few other physical requirements such as acrobatic ability and stamina is what makes a cheerleader a cheerleader. Without them, fans would have no one to boost them up with powerful chants and cheers in times of victory and defeat. Being a cheerleader is not al- ways a glamorous job. lt means, on many occasions, standing out in the cold and rain, and still being able to smile and bear it. lt also means stay- ing after school to learn new routines while friends are some- where else having fun. Without a doubt, the Harding cheerlead- ers know all about sacrifices of this activity, but as always they do it unselfishly for their school. The students here are proud and thankful for the cheerlead- ers who use their time and ef- fort to help the teams here at Harding strive for excellence. Without the cheerleaders the school could not be nearly as great or as successful. ' ii J 'ur' If! gkk -' .f,i, I I SLK , 4.

They teach you responsibility and provide you with leadership qualities as well as give you a feeling of accomplishment. Harding students are fortu- nate to have numerous clubs that can provide an outlet for interested students: The Key Club, DECA, and the Octagon Club are just a few of many. The Key Club, under the ad- visement of Mrs. Kate Jenkins, annually visits the Special Olympics. Bunning scores and pinning ribbons on contestants help show their support for the event and give the contestants confidence for the games to come. Being in the DECA club helps students become in- volved by holding such events as fashion shows, having the Mr. irresistible contest and sell- ing Spirit Links. The Octagon Club also aids in supporting the school by sell- ing various items around Christ- mas time in and out of school. So if you are looking for a way to make school interesting, try a few clubs. lt is the perfect way to get involved. , , I ,V .,t. ze g K l ata' -JM' -M k L. RK., . H., .

For some people, work like this would be considered undesirable, but to members of the marching band, male and female drill teams, and color guard, this is just a way to improve their tal- ents to make themselves the absolute best that they can be. Qualities such as these help or- ganizations go beyond. The re- ward given after displaying their talents is merely pride in them- selves and the fulfilling satisfac- tion in knovving you have done the best that you could.

When we get together, we trip. It is hard work too, but We enjoy itf, . Christy Whisker . Whether it's through aca- demics, poems, songs, or drama, it's easy to express yourself. Harding is a school where emphasis on individual identity lies parallel to the high standards of academic excel- lence. Expression is not just a facial gesture, it's a way to show your true self. It's what makes each person unique and each day different from all others. Here in Bam Country, the spirit has been expressed not only on the football field, but in the arts as well. On a finer note, members on the orchestra and chorus programs spend lots of time in their classes to strengthen and refine their mu- sical talents for upcoming events. Through these, what you get is an array of music and various abilities here at Harding. This year, as tradition has it, the Rams, along with other area high schools, have the opportu- nity to flaunt their abilities in the Thanksgiving and Christmas Parades. Even before the band is seen, the spirit of Harding is heard through every note of music, which is just another part of what makes Harding truly unique. ,..g.-..,,u,,s,,.,,-,,N.-,.u,..,.u.......................-.,.w . . . .,M-,.,, 1 f - . cf' 1 13.5.

These events allow the clubs to purchase yearbook advertise- ments, to contribute to charita- ble or needy causes, and to bequeath gifts to the school. The Executive Council was fortunate to have a successful cash increaser: the unforget- table Spirit Ribbon. The ribbons were an inexpensive item sold before some critical games. There was little question of their popularityg if you did not buy a ribbon before lunch time, you probably had little chance of getting one. The Key Club also man- aged to pull off a fundraising event. They sold sweat shirts that were in such demand, a second order had to be placed. Students unlucky enough not to own one are still inquiring about a third order.

Fundraisers Other clubs such as DECA sold mirrors, the Junior Var- sity cheerleaders supplied us with buttons and Homecoming carnations, Chorus fed us doughnuts and Mr. P's satis- fled our sweet tooth with chocolate chip and peanut but- ter cookies. The Booster Club kept us dry with towels and Applied Economics classes made our hands 'lhappy . To say that fundraising was alive and well is an understatement. 3 fi.. ...Zi DECA profited greatly from their mirror sales. These two DECA members seem to question someone's judgment of the mirrors.

Today, a high school diploma is not enough, therefore, students must pursue a higher educa- tion. More than ever before, students must keep pace with technological advances, and our international allies, What better time than now is there to take advantage of extracurricu- lar activities offered in high school? Many clubs here give insight and positive learning experi- ences, while in the process, prepare students to be more aware of other cultural sur- roundings. Each year the French and Spanish Clubs take part in the Foreign Exchange Program - geared towards ed- ucating pupils about a foreign culture first hand by allowing them to dwell in its environment for a short period of time.

Three such orga- nizations include the Red Cross, under the supervision of Ms. El- Iisg SADD, advised by Mrs. Jensen, and HOSA, sponsored by Mrs. Auten. Under their tute- lage, the members of these clubs have acquired a sense of giving, sharing, and providing for those less fortunate. The Red Cross embodies, per- haps more than any other club, what giving is all about. They or- ganized a Blood Drive to encour- age students to give badly 124! Services needed blood and plasma. Their effort in this endeavor has not gone unnoticed, and all realize the tremendous amount of work it took to execute a project of such magnitude. In addition, members sponsored a Clothes Drive to furnish clothes for the needy and homeless, while col- lecting can goods during Thanksgiving so that the hungry might be fedl The SADD Club and HOSA also made significant contribu- tion to make society aware of our many problems. The SADD Club distributed ribbons to encourage uations. They opened our eyes to a reality that unfortunately continues to plague our nation. HOSA used fundraisers to earn money for the destitute. They presented a check to Social Ser- vices to distribute as they deemed necessary. In addition, during Christmas, they donated a check to Toys for Tots.

Do you recall ever having felt like an outsider at your own school because you never got involved? Ordi- narily this would mean the start of a terrible year for Under- classmen who aim to impress their Senior leaders. Many of those who found themselves in one of these predicaments felt completely helpless. However, the more determined Under- classmen found the perfect way to regain their competitive edge. You may ask how they manage to get ahead. You could find these resourceful students in a far corner of the campus. They were always in the school gym lifting weights or practicing their scales in the 136! Underclassmen You can do it.

Juniors IUFIUR As a Junior, one has finally earned the right to stand above the other underclassmen. After all, they are only one stepping stone away from being crowned a Senior . This long road was not an easy one. The courses one takes as a Junior are usually the toughest they will ever have. Of course they are, because this is the last test they will face before they have the chance to take over. Sure being a Junior is great, but l'm looking forward to better days.

This may be his first year at Harding but it's not his first year being a principal. Before entering into the broad high school era of his career, he oversaw Eastway Junior High. ln just his first year with us, it is evident that he already cares for our schools well-being and the students' as well. In just the first few months, he has managed to give us a REAL Pep Rally and has boosted attendance as well as school spirit. So from Little Ole Harding, welcome! Mr. Venlon Bell sits proudly in his of- fice. From the look of the amount of work on his desk, his time is too pre- cious to say cheese for the camera.

Teacher of the Year and National Teacher of the year. Ms. McRae graduated from the University of Alabama where she received a bachelor's degree in chemistry and where she was a Phi Beta Kappa. Ms. McRae seems to be engrossed in thought as she prepares for her next class. Her Chemistry and Physics classes really keep her busy!

Through their contin- ued support, dreams be- come reality. Without them, the yearbook could not be the success that it is. As businesses in the surround- ing areas buy advertisements in the Acorn, students are able to see that the community backs them all the vvay. With that continuous endeavor, it enables students to strive for the best and to never give up. ln this vvay, both the com- munity andthe students benefit from each oth- er. The supporters shovv that they care and that concern makes the students want more tor themselves and for their school. Having pride, showing spirit and giving monetarily, the support- ers give the I-larding Rams one more chance to go for the gold. 5' 1 The varsity football team receives a lot of support from coaches, specta- tors, and from each other. Without these people, Ramball would not ex- ist. As a member of the Executive Coun- cil, Wanda Belk shows her support by buying and selling spirit ribbons. On game days, students wear their spirit ribbons to show that they back the Rams all the way. :Qc C ., 'I v ' I '.

Did it help? , FFS' 'S' 4A'AA -kr-avr-1' +- ti Sittin' on top of the world Aview from above shows Charlottes always in- creasing skyline and the steady growth of new businesses Don't You Wanna Jam Tonight? Whether during a basketball game or a concert, the new 25,000 seat colise- um is sure to provide many exciting moments 5. CHARLOTTE: A wonw cuss crrv Without a doubt, the city of Char- lotte has emerged as one of the most metropolitan areas of the South l-lav- ing finally lived out the true meaning of its name - the Queen City - Char- lotte is now bigger and better than ever, This transformation did not hap- pen overnight, however. but began as a vision of many concerned citizens who no longer were content to sit back and watch the city lapse into obscur- ity, With that vision came the rebirth of Charlotte and its new-found status: A world class city. Perhaps the most obvious transfor- mation that has taken place in Char- lotte is the revitalization of the uptown area. Breathing new life into down- town became contagious and soon there was talk of dreams that had once seemed unattainable Since we were getting a new city, it seemed only fitting that we should also get a new 25,000 seat coliseum on the Billy Graham Parkway George Shinn also thought we needed something etse for our born-again city - an NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets. While growth and development brought new life and hope to Char- lotte, it also brought with it controver- sy, scandels, and upsets Gumby made a comeback in the form of artwork, but quickly departed to the roy of thousands. The Tryon Street Mall, for all its splendor, began to crack and we wondered how some- thing so beautiful could be so fragile. Dr. Peter Relic became a rare voice for teachers as he openly criticized the Career Development Program, but he still could not convince parents that their kids should be placed on school buses. Television evangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker fled to affluent Palm Springs after Jim admitted to an affair with church secretary Jessica Hahn. The aftermath of that bit of news was perhaps more shocking than the event ttself, for the world saw just how ex- travagantly the Bakkers and their dogs lived as they begged nightly for money from the less fortunate, Finally Sue Myrick did what most polls said she couldnt -upset a popular, in- cumbent mayor and become the first female to do so. Using effective televi- sion advertisements, Sue showed us signs of snared 5 OO traffic and prom- ised to do away with it As we continue to sit for hours on Independence Bou- levard and Providence Boad, we have to ask. Sue, what have you done for us lateIy '? Charlotte has certainly gone through a lot of changes f some good and some not so good The Har- ding Rams were embraced by the en- tire clty as they took a cue from the Olympians and went for the gold, Like figure skater Debi Thomas, they found out that some things werent meant to be. but it sure was fun trying As we look around, we continue to see growth, as NCNB and First Union bat- tle for rights to the tallest building in town, and George Shinn begins to ponder national baseball and football. And as we see, the new never stops because if it does, it become the old, and that should be a vision that we not only want for Charlotte but that we want for ourselves to be world class people in: a world class city, Charlotte 163 ...- E 8 S T R I E kN D S Congratulations Class of '88 We've come a long way in 4 years.

Ads 165 AGAINST Ll. DDD : 'ra-as sronv or A wesrsaos sci-noon.. Harding has accomplished many outstanding achieve- ments thls year proving we are not a school to be reckoned with. Under the direction of our first year principal, Venton Bell, we made our cries heard. Being from the 'twrong side of the tracks , Harding has been the target ofjokes, insults, and heavy criticism. They smirked in our shining moments and laughed at our defeat. Our family could have been de- stroyed by these remarks, but we stuck together and made those skeptics stand up and cheer. We are proud of what we have achieved during this school year. A look around the campus and at the faces of the Rams support that statement. Mr. Venton Bell said Harding is a school unique to the Char- lotte-Mecklenburg system, and our students reflect that -io-f 13 , ,rw v an uniqueness. I have been im- pressed by the diversity of their interests and by their dedication to excellence in academic and extra-curricular activities. Naturally, these ac- complishments would be im- possibe without the support and guidance provided by Harding's excellent staff. So what if we are the smallest school in Charlotte! That just lets us get to know each other and the school more intimate- ly, and because of our size our successes are often over- looked. ln recent years, Harding has had a Morehead Scholar and a 320,000 Teaching Fellows pro- gram recipient to name a few. The urge to excel continued into this year. Our science de- partment proved that it was one of the best in the state as Ms. Deborah McRae was vot- X in te. 'tts-1 E ed Teacher of the Year. Our parents took some affirmative action relaying our problems to the school board. One of our parents decided that it was time for Harding's concerns to be heard as he filed for a seat on the school board. Mr. Don Brown said tilt must be born in mind, that the tragedy in life does not lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. lt isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven tor? Since the conception of the Tri-County conference in 1985, our Varsity Football team has been the champion. Harding is also blessed with exclusives no other high school in Char- lotte can claim: an outdoor education program featuring .. ,s,t.,9.:,,4 .-f. . . . . - Mm -.pg x --5 .- f .f.'. -.Q...,if. the challenge course, an even- ing optional school and an un- wavering school spirit. Harold Johnson had this to say, ln the years since l've been cov- ering athletics at Harding, l've noticed the students have tre- mendous pride in the school and what they are doing. lf you have this kind of pride you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Harding students don't stop 'tgoing for the gold after graduating, many become successes in their own right. Quality education combined with excellent leadership, out- standing athletics, dedicated students, unselfish teachers, and concerned parents, help us not only to shine, but to make our own light. . i...... , . xv 166 Ram Country Can Ms. McRae really be puzzled by a question or is she shocked by the students knowledge of the subject.

The Acorn is splattered with colors of many tones and hues, and like the var- ious colors on the cover, there are many directions in life that we can take. The beauty of life itself is that we don't have to settle for the shortest road or the easiest path, we don't have to reach a destination at the same time as others, and we don't have to take detours mapped out for us. We have been given the power of making choices, and with that power comes the ability to experience and enjoy the many shades and colors that life gives us.
