Little did we know what we would accomplish in a mere nine months. We knew from the beginning that our school could be the best if we strove to get to the top; therefore, being better than the rest was what this year was all about. We excelled in all we did — sports, classes, academics and clubs. Each day there was a new goal to reach, whether it was passing that English test or eetting to session room for the first time without being tardy. We took pride in our school in a way that no one else could, and the results were tremendous. Students worked at their strengths and weaknesses, and, with each individual striving to become the best he could be, we created an atmosphere of pride and ioy that stood out above all the other schools. Of course, everyone contributed much time and effort to help our school receive the recognition it deserved. The pages of this book will depict how our school strove to become “A Cut Above.5’ Theme 3 “DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER” The final year of high school for the seniors brought a sad relief because one stage of life was ending as another was just beginning. Four years of high school flashed right before their eyes. Football games, homecomings, report cards and the Senior Prom were just a few of the things which they would put in the past, yet remember forever. They struggled to be the best, and their outstanding patience and dedication finally paid off. Like diamonds, they were polished to perfection and glittered radiantly above the rest. This priceless collection of steadfast students glowed with excitement as the year progressed. With graduation just around the corner, never ending challenges greeted them as they bid farewell and went their separate ways. High school had provided them with memories that would last forever. Seniors 5 Warrior and Maiden — Traditionally, the VALHALLA names a young man and a young woman as Huffman High Warrior and Maiden. These two outstanding Seniors are chosen by the faculty to represent the ideal Huffman student. Their selection is based upon leadership, character, overall contributions to student welfare, and continuous scholastic achievement. These traits of impressiveness and intelligence are comparable to the ancient Vikings. The Warrior, a noble and majestic figure, is known for his unfailing stamina, courage, and superb character, thus enabling him to master the Norwegian seas. The Maiden was a dominant figure among the Nordic people because of her queenly statue. She was a perfect representation of fairness, purity, and beauty. With these qualities the Warrior and Maiden ruled the Scandinavian world. It is with great pleasure that the VALHALLA announces the 1988 Warrior and Maiden. 6 1988 Warrior and Maiden 1987-1988 As an involved student at Huffman High School. Monica Nguyen -due is active in her roles as president of the Honorary Historical Society and treasurer of the Student Government Association.

As students entered their junior year, they had more things to look forward to than ever before. There were many tasks to be completed that would reflect on the successful outcome of their future. Many new challenges were introduced as the year progressed. Each junior studied and strove to achieve his highest potential in an effort to be prepared for his senior year. As the juniors began to study and prepare for the SAT, ACT. and the exit exam, they continued to strive for excellence. Being a junior was not only an honor, but also a privilege. For the first time in their high school career they had the opportunity to buy parking stickers and class rings. They looked forward to the pep rallies, the honor of sitting on the “senior side of the gym, and for the privilege of sharing activity periods with the seniors in the auditorium. Their efforts and participation gave them a feeling of superiority that truly proved them to be pearls that were a cut above.” Juniors 43 Andrea Allen Gregory Allen Carrie Aloia Anita Andrew Tracy A rledge Kara Armstrong Jason Balter Charlotte Balantine Gerald Banks Tjuana Barfield Rhonda Bigbee Leslie Billman Sean Bland Cheryl Blount Nina Bookholdt Yvette Boteler Cynthia Bradford Johnny Braxton Erika Brewer Trevor Brewster April Bridges Valerie Brindley Timothy Brittain Bethany Brooks Cordelia Brown Hydri Brown Karen Brown Maurice Brown Miriam Brown Connie Bryant Rebecca Bryant Robert Burch Terry Burch Julie Buaenlehner Susan Butts Marvietta Byrd Sheryl Campbell Andrea Camps Kelly Cargile Patrice Carter Steven Casey Brent Chappie John Cleckler Kenneth Clower Mark Clybura Kristy Cole Dwight Coleman Larry Coleman William Cone Jennifer Connell Shelley Barnes Catherine Barrow ChadBeacham Gerald Beal James Beasley William Benton Hollywood Style Students looked forward to many things when school began. Pep rallies, football games, homecoming, and Christmas holidays were just a few of the events that gave them something to look forward to. But as soon as these things were over, things seemed dull and lifeless until the prom. That was the brightest night of the year. Of course, the prom caused the girls to spend their money preparing for the night of all nights while the guys saved their money for the big night. When the big night finally arrived, couples were seen decked out in their best clothes, eating at the most expensive restaurants, and riding in the fanciest cars. Some guys even rented a limousine for the night. To some it seemed a little bit silly to spend so much for a few hours of fun. However, many students spent lots of money on the prom. When asked why, Amy Harris replied, “Because we want to look good. The prom is something we'll remember forever and that is why we make the best of it.” Sandy Sumners summed ft up by saying, Because it’s fun. It seems to go by so fast.” She also stated, “I wish it didn’t have to end, but eventually it does.” After all the glitter and glamour of the evening had turned into a dull lustre, the music had died down, and the lights were turned off, many students left with memories forever imbedded in their hearts.

Believe it or not, it was a favorite place that everyone knew well. During the year, students became very familiar with the lunchroom. It became a place for people to see friends, chit-chat with a buddy, and, of course, taste the fine cuisine. If they were lucky, they could smell the pleasant aroma of the wonderful food before they even got there. Students were frequently seen running to get in the serving lines. Although the lunchroom served a variety of delicious and delectable food throughout the year, pizza and french fries seemed to have been the house specialty. Students were even Been eating such enchanting dishes as broccoli, fried squash, and fried okra while fellow teenagers looked on in amazement and bewilderment. Of course, not everyone bought his lunch in this castle of delight. Little brown bags and boxes of M M’s were frequently seen in the hands of many students. No matter what one chose to eat, the food always seemed to tame the hungry beast that lurked within. Amanda Tomlinson enjoys one of the specialties of the lunchroom — hamburger and french fries.

Junior Class Spirit Committee and Officers 53 THE CLASS OF ’90 GLOWED BRIGHT AND SHINY Memories of being freshmen were only a year old but the sophomores had no problem living up to their “big and mighty” image for they proved they could be larger then life. Their pride, spirit and enthusiasm helped them get through the year. They found themselves being accepted by their elders, whom they looked up to the year before though it did not seem that long ago. Although sophomores did not have the privileges the juniors and seniors had, they looked forward to the glory of turning sixteen and getting a driver’s license. Of course, this year was not all fun and games, they work hard to achieve every attainable goal, which included scoring high on the PSAT. Their shining faces were like the luminous glow of a ruby. An aura of pride was left behind wherever they went. The pride and spirit of the sophomores contributed to the school’s image of being “a cut above.

Weekends mean freedom and relaxation. says Lisa. It was 3:05 p.m. Friday, and excitement was in the air. Everyone was looking forward to the weekend. No homework, no teachers, no school ... until Monday! Naturally, the weekend was a break from school, but exactly how did people spend this time away from school? Students admitted to spending their weekends doing both normal and crazy things. While most students spent their weekends going to parties, malls, or to the movies, others found different things to occupy their time. Many look- ed forward to the football games which seemed to almost always kick off the weekend. One student commented that her weekends were usually unpredictable — a time usually spent with a boyfriend, a club sister, or a close friend. No matter how the weekend was spent it was always enjoyed by all until Sunday night. Then that dreaded monster called homework comes knocking at your door to remind you that tomorrow is Monday and that means homework, school, teachers, smelly P.E. locker rooms and boredom.

They knew they stuck out like sore thumbs. They probably were even more noticeable than the new freshman class. Everyone stared at them like they had grown two heads and had purple hair. But it wasn’t their fault that they had a “handicap.” They didn’t ask not to be able to slant their letters in the right direction, and they certainly didn’t want desks to be built especially for them. Sitting in one of those desks was like wearing a neon sign that flashed “Look at me, I’m left-handed.” That’s right, they were lefties, but they were proud of their “handicap” and wouldn't change it for all the righties in China. Chad Smoak stated, “The worst problem I have because of being left-handed occurs when writing. The ink on my paper smears and gets on my pinky finger. The teachers often tell me to make my paper neater.” You know, scientists have said that the left side of your body is controlled by the right side of your brain, and vice versa. That must mean that left-handed students were the only ones in their right minds. Maybe they were pretty special after all.

Autographs Sophomore Spirit Committee 65 FRESHMEN WERE SHINING EMERALDS With every new year comes a wave of new and green freshmen, and this year was certainly no different. Their faces gleamed like precious emeralds as they were welcomed by the friendly upperclassmen who graciously offered to sell them elevator passes and direct them to their classes. Even though they were the object of endless jokes and pranks the first few weeks of school, they soon blended in with the rest of the students. They memorized their schedules, learned their locker combinations, successfully went to their lockers between classes, and sang the Aim Mater in pep rallies. When they had mastered these skills tney found that they could concentrate more on their clases for there were books to be read, reports to be written, and projects to be done. When tney finished all these on time, they hung out at the football games or met new friends at Campus Life. Only then had they become a part of high school life. As the freshmen shone with their ever fading greenish glimmers, they too proved to be “a cut above.” Freshmen 67 Kim Campbell Anthony Cappocda Thomas Cappe David Canon JoelCartee Elizabeth Caspronitx Daniel Cheshire Timothy Clark 68 Kerry Adams Lex ion A dwell Cary Agee Christi Ackerson Brian Adams Lee Alfano Donald Allen Kimberly Allen LaMonica Allison Shelda Arm iso n Christopher Arrington April Ash Kevin Bagwell Larry Ballard Derrick Banks Anthonita Barnes Alison Barnet Don Barron James Beacham Scotty Beard Stacy Beasley Temmico Belcher Donald Benford Michael Bennett Amie Bice Christopher Biddy Tanya Biggs Matthew Binney Venus Birinea Antwanett Bolden Angela Bowens Terry Bradshaw Wendy Broughton Katherine Brown Terrence Brown Tanya Brown Tyler Brown Kelly Bruce Brandon Bryant Melanie Bryson Derek Burpo Lonnie Burton KaribaBuah Anna Cadille Gavin Calms Jennie Campbell - ■I $ What You See Is What You Get Tb not Andy.

Powell, not knowing that there were two senior with the aame face, almost threw one portrait out. Then there were Kristi and Robin McCracken, ninth grader . The only way some people were able to identify them was to check their hair style . Moat of the time Robin parted her hair on the right On the other hand, if you wanted to be sure you were talking to LaWanda Martin and not TaWanda you looked for the mole on the cheek. Eric and Akta Bates did not poaa a problem in identification in that Eric was a boy and Aleta a girl. Most of the time the twins dressed differently, but that did not help much when it cam to Andy and Gregory Thomason. Many people thought that being twins was a great way to get out of doing many “enjoyable” tasks in life. Although sometimes this proved to be true, being the exact replica was not always an exhilarating experience. Mark Young related the story of having been chased around the house by his mother in his early childhood to receive a light spanking. While chasing him she came upon his brother who was watching with interest and laughing intensely. She snatched Mike up and before she knew it Mike was being punished for something be did not do. In her haste she had grabbed Mike and to this day Mark, who committed the act. has never been punished. Of course, there was the lighter side to being identical twins. Filling in for each other in school on a data, or on the job were somewhat simple tasks and sometimes had hilarious results. Being a twin haa its up and down , but when you think about it, being identical to on person is much better than being identical to two, three, or four people in a lifetime. The Bates, Martin. McCracken. Young, and Thomason twins get joy from seeing other people wrestle with diplopia when others see them.

Was it designed to bore the life out of students or possibly torture the teacher? Many students thought this was its purpose, but it was not. The time designated for studying was helpful and well spent by some students as they continued to prepare for success. Not only did it give them time to study for a math or Spanish test, but it also gave them time to relax. For some, study periods became a time to quietly talk with friends about the latest gossip, freshen your make-up, comb your hair, and even get a little sleep. Finally, there were students who just could not live in the solitude of the so called study hall. They usually feigned illness and asked for a pass to the restroom but rarely returned. Regardless, study period was a necessity in the school schedule. While some student take a break from studying to rest.

They managed to invade your home life with endless, brain straining work, and though they didn't enjoy making your life miserable, they would if you didn't bring all your materials to class. These people were, of course, teachers. However, they weren’t as bad as they were made out to be. They did manage to break away from school sometimes and often enjoyed their free time more than students. As far a homework was concerned, it was just as much a headache to the teachers as it was to the students. After all, the more homework students were assigned, the more teachers had to grade. Though students believed the reverse, teachers certainly had a harder life than students. They had to put up with rowdy students around holidays, to sacrifice countless hours making unappreciated plans, and to wake up students who had stayed up too late having fun. However, teachers managed to endure all the obstacles they encountered. Huffman was honored to have such a dedicated faculty. Faculty 79 The Principal Mr. Robert 8. Simmons Students at Huffman High School were fortunate to have such an outstanding man as principal for the last five years. Mr. Steve Simmons was very dedicated to molding the lives of his students and preparing them for a bright future. He was determined not to let anyone give up when things were not going well. He has seen many classes of students come and go from Huffman and is surely proud of the progress that they made and the maturation that they did while under his supervision. His care and commitment also made a deep im- pression on every student and will be in their memories of high school days forever. He is truly a man with the rare ability to guide young lives. The students of Huffman High School were very appreciative of his devotion and dedication to the needs of his students. 80 Administration Mrs. Annette C.

Life went on after the 3:05 bell sounded. Students found their year at Huffman filled with many challenging opportunities that made them “a cut above” students at other high schools. They engaged in many activities during the school hours as well as after school. Even though studying took up much of their time, students enriched their lives in various ways. Romantic attachments were developed, volunteer services at hospitals were given, parties were attended, sports were participated in, school improvement projects were done, religious activities were participated in, after school and week-end Ci were held, prom dresses were made, ks were read, and signs were made for pep rallies. Life was never dull for a Huffman student, for he filled his leisure hours with worthwhile activities. Student Life 99 A Star in the East The bright spotlights were shining on the smiling faces and sparkling dresses of 36 girls. Each had the same question racing through her mind — Who would be the judges’ choice? The tension built as it came to the final decision. There was an atmosphere of both curiousity and suspense for the contestants as well as the spectators. A silent hush came over the crowd as the judges announced their decision. Kathleen Thomas’s face lit up with surprise and excitement when she heard her name announced as the winner. Kathleen described her emotions at that special moment as total shock and excitement at the same time. She commented that she entered the Miss Valhalla Pageant with no expectations of winning whatsoever. She was just tak- ing advantage of the opportunity to make new friends and to gain valuable experience in competition. She also stated that she was surprisingly calm throughout the entire pageant, but was also excited. As the new Miss Valhalla, she had two new responsibilities — to prepare for the Miss Alabama Pageant by working on a new piano piece and to choose new costumes and formal dresses. She said that she was looking forward to the Miss Alabama Pageant because of the many great opportunities for college scholarships and new friends. Although Kathleen enjoyed the new attention she received, she didn’t feel any different and wanted people to continue thinking of her as the same Kathleen Thomas they had always known. Kathleen Thomas smile proudly at the thought of winning Mias Valhalla. The Winners' Circle Me? I’ve won what? Senior Who’s Who? You’ve got to be kidding me. No kidding? These and similar expressions of surprise were heard many times on the day that the teachers read the results of the Who’s Who on the morning report. Being chosen one of the Who’s Who in your class was an outstanding honor. It was a once in a lifetime dream that many of the winners found hard to believe. This honor was bestowed on so very few that a feeling of importance could not be helped. It was not a popularity contest but a result of self-motivation on the part of the winners. They worked hard and deserved to win. Just like Miss America or Miss Universe, these people had searched and longed for some type of honor and at last they had received it. Jeff Quictl beams with happiness upon learning that he has been selected “Friendliest Senior. 1(X) Special Recognition A Diamond Among Gems John Salmon was an active participant in the activities around Huffman. His most memorable achievements included his three years on the Academic Team, one of which he spent as cocaptain. He has also been a member of the Math Team. As a sophomore, John won second place in the (JAB Regional Science Fair after winning Best of Fair here at Huffman in the Math and Engineering category. He was selected as a National Merit Samifinalist and was listed in Who’s Who Among American High School Students. Aside from all of John’s technical achievements, his creative ability and leadership qualities have gained him honor. As a senior, John won second place in the Optimist International Essay Contest on the topic “Freedom, our most precious heritage.” While many students only wrote the essay to satisfy the requirements of their teachers. John went on to attempt to write an award-winning essay, ultimately succeeding admirably. John is also quite proud of his position as co-editor of the school’s newspaper, the Valkyrie. His experience in journalism and creative writing has become more conspicuous during his senior year, helping him in the more technical endeavors. “Being more inclined to creative expressions during my later years at Huffman has allowed me to broaden my educational horizons. Huffman has given me the freedom to explore all the topics I have wanted to study. 1 was never confined to the limits of a classroom to learn, but rather I was allowed to venture out and taste a little of life, he said. John’s many endeavors proved that he was truly a large diamond in a school of many gems. Dancing the Days Away Being a Valorette was not that easy, and being head Valorette was even tougher according to Karen Dyer. With leadership brought responsibilities. As Karen stated. “Not only did I have to make up routines, I also had to get uniforms made, shoes bought and painted, jerseys ordered, and most of all keep up with nineteen fun-loving, rambunctious girls.” The Valorettes performed at football games, basketball games, and pep rallies. They made up new routines for each pep rally and basketball game which took lots of dedication and vigorous work. Karen stated that she spent three hours each day practicing and perfecting each dance step. She also said that one of the biggest jobs was getting routines-presentable so that everyone could be entertained. The Vais glimmered their way into the hearts of all who watched their awesome performances. Karen «� � hc lake ■ break from dancing. Special Recognition 101 A New Governor Ginger Murphrey. a well knowrf academic student, was honored this summer when she was selected to attend Alabama Girls’ State in Montgomery. Girls’ State was a mock representation of the governmental structure of the state of Alabama. While there, she was elected Governor. Ginger stated, “I was afraid that everyone there was totally unconcerned with fun and totally focused on academics.” What she didn’t realize, however, was that the girls were a lot like her — wanting to learn but desiring just as much fun as education. Ginger represented the Deep South District in Debate and extemporaneous speaking at the National Speech and Debate Tournament. She also was a semi-finalist in the varsity debate at Mars Hill Bible School and the Homewood High School Patriot Classic and a finalist in the University of Alabama Hall of Fame where she received first place speaker. Ginger participated in many organizations on campus. She was President of Young Democrats, Vice-President of National Forensic League and the National Honor Society and a member of International Thespian Society. Putting the Best Foot Forward “There he goes, he’s practicing for that big game. Isn’t he the most? exclaimed one of his groupies. “Every guy would love to be in his shoes, if he wore a size 12.” But is it every guy’s dream to be the Captain of a basketball team? Sure it is. After all — who wouldn’t enjoy being in the limelight in front of a cheering crowd as well as being sought after by many girls? Kermit Turner, captain of Huffman’s basketball team. said. “Playing basketball is a way of expressing myself. To be the best I can be means a lot. Just by participating in the game gives me a natural high.” Hey guys, don't give up! One day you will be able to be in Hermit’s shoes. Even if you’re not able to wear a size 12 you can stuff your shoes with tissue. Kermit Turner concentrates on making the winning points. 102 Special Recognition Leaders Arena While filling out an application, all she could think about was, “Will they choose me?” The thought of being picked made her hair stand straight up without hairspray, and the thought of not being picked put her in a coma so deep that she started to find faults on the application after she had already turned it in. such as writing Jamey Davies name when her name was Kelly Debro. She thought, “But why worry? I’ve shown leadership in school and community activities. I've expressed an interest in furthering my knowledge of HATS OFF YOU! the greater Birmingham area. Why wouldn't I be picked?” These were just a few of the requirements needed to apply for the Youth Leadership Forum. Kelly Debro, Jamey Davies, Alvin Guillen, and 37 other students from various geographical areas and high schools within the Birmingham metropolitan areu were selected to participate in the Youth Leadership Forum. “The opening retreat was an exciting experience, said Kelly, while smiling boldly. Special Recognition 103 Rallying With Pep Fun, Fun, Fun! Have you ever stopped to wonder what life at Huffman would have been like without pep rallies? Without them what would we have done? Nothing. Pep rallies were special. What made them special? The students did, of course! Pep rallies brought out the Viking spirit from deep within as the students let their spirit flow from every direction. Everybody cheered until the last ounce of spirit was gone. The mighty Viking band was always fired up as it played music to inspire, and the Valorettes were spectacular as they danced their way into our hearts. There was endless spirit and participation as the senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman classes battled one another in demonstrating support for the team and presenting unique and humorous skits. Every pep rally had to have losers as well as winners, but there was no need to worry. The entire student body glimmered with spirit as we proved to everyone to be a cut above all other schools that had pep rallies. Hey Grandpa. a hat's fer supper?” helped the senior accomplish another vkt rv 104 Pep Rally Candida They won the spirit stick sever ! times.

Pep Rally Candida 105 Dufy Calls The OFFICE AIDES, who willingly volunteered to commit a small portion of their free time to helping in the different offices on campus, played vital roles in the smooth flow of each office procedure. Answering phones, filing, and running errands were just a few of the duties of a special, elite group of students who were dedicated to assisting in various school offices. The girls’ and boys’ advisors depended on their aides to handle tardies and check out forms and to locate students at any time. The main office, on the other hand, needed assistants to distribute absentee reports and attend to campus guests. Counselors’ aides were responsible for helping in special projects and for guiding students to information about college and careers. Ms. Carolyn Williams and her aides kept accurate records of student absences and sent out notices of excessive absences in the Attendance Office. Although each office required dif- office could not have been performed ferent skills, the students who worked in properly without the endless enthusiasm them learned a sense of responsibility of each office aide, and dedication.

These were dedicated and trustworthy students who volunteered some of their patience and precious time to help with the overflow of work in the library. They had certain responsibilities that they were trusted to do. These included checking in and out books, writing overdue notices, and shelving books.

The STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION was a dedicated group of students who were selected by the officers from the previous year. The officers and the Senate were voted on by the student body; the cabinet was picked by the officers and the Senate. The S.G.A. was responsible for some of the major activities held at the school. S.G.A. organized all of the Homecoming festivities and the Spirit Wave parties. It also helped the seniors and juniors with the prom. The S.G.A., along with the cheerleaders, sold cases of Pepsi, and the proceeds went to United Cerebral Palsy. This project, sponsored by 1-95 radio station, gave the school the opportunity to win a dance if a certain number of cases were sold. Huffman won a dance and in February the S.G.A. Sionsored a Sadie Hawkins Valentine ance in the gym. The S.G.A. members proved to be the leaders that they were expected to be by being the best they could be and by doing tne best they could do. S.G.A. It's Mind-Boggling What had brain teasing questions, scholarly competitions, and a higher combined I.Q. than an entire class of Harvard graduates? The Academic Team, of course. As in years past, Huffman’s ACADEMIC TEAM was the one to beat. Every month the team made its presence felt in competitions held at Phillips High School. These competitions invblved teams from all over Birmingham; therefore, the other teams were sure to have known of our winning reputation. Huffman held an almost perfect record at these tournaments. Its only loss was to Ramsey High School. Schools such as Banks, Jones Valley, Parker, and Wenonah weren’t lucky enough, however, to escape the Huffman winning machine. The team members, though they enjoyed their many monthly victories, were looking forward to something bigger and better. The one competition that made all their work worthwhile was the city-wide tournament where winning could mean a place on the state academic team. The city-wide tournament brought Huffman back in contact with many of the teams it had earlier defeated, giving the team a very important advantage. The team members were confident they could make a respectable showing at the tournament, if not walk away with the first place trophy. Huffman won the tournament.

These people were interested in learning more about math and seeing just how much they knew by participating in a total of eleven tournaments. During tournaments the members showed themselves and each other just how they ranked with the other schools in the state. The team members discovered their strong and weak points in math. They took tests and compared the results with each other. Being on the Math Team was a lot of hard work but that hard work paid off in competitions. Through determination and dedication the team members excelled and became one of the best teams in the state. The Senior Math Team practices diligently for the big tournament in Huntsville the next day. FIRST ROW: Eric Sides, Dwayne Stokes, Jeff Dearman, Derrick Banks. David Driskell, Scott Pugh.

In every sport they tried and did their best. With determination, intensive and strenuous practices, and the support of the student body they accomplished many victories. Because of these victories our name was carried with pride. Not only the teams excelled, but individuals excelled as well. Through the great achievements and close bonds created by the coaches, the athletes and teams excelled to a very high point of excellence. Each athlete was proud to admit that he was an athlete and that he excelled both in sports and in learning to work as a team. As each left to pursue further success, he tried to remember the lessons he had learned. Sports 115 Varsity Basketball Team FRONT TO BACK: Ed Finley, Jway Young, John WaUon. Randy Kyle, Rod Bell.

When playing basketball, they were united; not as a team itself but more like a family. Coach North, Coach Coleman, Captain Kermit Turner, and the rest of the hard-working, demanding players made up this family. Even though Huffman did not win all of its games, it did manage to win those that gave the team a rough time. Of Course, all the games Huffman played were hard, struggling ones, but Huffman's basketball team anticipated a good season, which they achieved and hoped to continue as a great tradition. 116 Varsity Basketball Jerry North Varsity Basketball Coach Junior Varsity Basketball Team LEFT TO RIGHT: Curtis Rice, Titonka Williams, John Walker, Julius Bonner.

The Junior Varsity basketball players anticipated winning as many games as possible, and they tackled some good teams.

Volleyball 121 Football The past football season was a victorious one for the Huffman Varsity Football Team. The team played hard, fought well, and never once lost their sense of pride. The team, going through a vigorous, regular season schedule, played several spectacular games. The most spectacular games were the Vestavia and Hewitt games. Vestavia, the number two ranked team in the state, barely escaped Huffman’s trap with a seven point victory. The following week, the number three ranked team, the Hewitt Huskies, was not so lucky. The Vikings defeated Hewitt, who was 9-0 at the time, 14-12 and brought home its third straight Area 10 championship. The Vikings continued into the playoffs and showed everyone how good a team they really were. They ripped their way through two powerful opponents, Benjamin Russell and Parker, placing them in the quarterfinals and among the top eight teams in the state. In the quarterfinals an injury-plagued Viking team was unable to overcome a strong Jess Lanier team, and thus its season was ended. The Vikings finished the season with a winning 7-6 record, overcame much adversity, and proved once again Coaches: Alan Kizzire. Jerry North, Curtis Coleman, David Partridge.

A Dream Realized Being head cheerleader entailed many responsibilities as well as many problems, but Kelly Nunnelly was one who could handle most situations. Although being a senior and head cheerleader took up a lot of time and responsibility, she still had time to remember her beginnings. I still remember the first time I began cheerleading. It was second grade at South Roebuck Ballpark. It has always been my dream to be a cheerleader. Being from sports oriented family and being the oldest girl I naturally wanted to get into cheerleading.” With responsibilities such as ordering uniforms, being in charge of money, and having practices (which she does with ease), it’s hard to imagine any problems she would have to tackle. She commented, “It's hard to tell people your own age what to do.” Although there are responsibilities and problems which entail being head cheerleader, there are also advantages. ‘‘I thought that when we got into finals at the Century Plaza competition it was an advantage because all of that hard work paid off. The feeling of doing your best at what you enjoy feels great. Kelly plans to go to the University of Alabama and would like to get into cheerleading there because it is something she enjoys. No one knows what will happen in the future but for Kelly Nunnelly it looks bright. Kelly stand silently, seeming distracted, yet her concentration is at its best as she remembers her responsibilities in leading other . .amity cheerleaders begin to warm up as they entertain th.- rowd at another. i football game. Performing for fellow students is an exhilarating experience, and it shows on each and every face. Cheerleaders 131 FRONT TO BACK: Derrick I.ake.

Shotput, high jumps, long jumps, pole vaulting, and sprints are just small parts of the many activities which make up track. The members of the boys’ track team this year showed that their skills in each area were far beyond excellence. They practiced and exercised their muscles to the best of their ability, and their striving for excellence came shining through. Mike Woods, a sophomore member of the team stated, We had a good team, the victories ahead looked very promising, and we were ready to take those victories with everything we had! It was the confident attitude of each team member that took this team to the winning mark. On the track. Derrick Lake give it all the power he haa. Kelvin Benion give® the race every ounce of energy.

The team couldn’t wait to start a new season. Out to prove themselves in a “man’s sport,” the girls worked out with weights and ran track in preparation for their games. According to Mrs. Williams, their coach, the girls showed a lot of potential and were capable of having a winning season. With enthusiasm from both team and coach, winning was inevitable. The Viking Spirit, with the help of the girls’ soccer team, did not fade with the entrance of spring.

A Rolling Checkerboard Of all the spring sports, soccer may not be the first to come to mind, but many people agreed that it was the best. Soccer was not the hardest sport to understand, nor exactly the easiest. The Boys’ Soccer program won many city and state championships. Being a member of the boys’ soccer team was not a dream for many boys, but for some it was a prestigious honor. Students let their pride shine as they cheered for the boys’ soccer team. 136 Boys’Soccer Miles, Miles______ And More Miles Girls’ Track Was it a cheetah? Was it a DC Boeing 747? Or possibly even a Porsche passing by at the speed of light? What could it have been with such choleric speed? It was definitely something out of the record book. Fast paced with splendid style and glimmer, the girls’ track team committed itself to an excellent year on the track field. Though the competition was tough, the home team proved to be a little more superior. After much preparation on their part, our girls' true talent came through. Tasha Rice, a team member, says, ‘A terrific year on the track was something we felt was due Huffman. After the great performances from football and basketball, track was not about to be left out in the cold. All the competition saw was the smoke from ur shoes. Girls’ Track 137 1987-88 Baseball Team Spring Fever Getting Into the Swing of Things The crowd watched with anticipation as he swung and hit... no, not a person but a baseball. Yes, it was a baseball game. They cheered him on as he ran from base to base making a home run. Many fans (mostly teenage girls) were often seen cheering and shouting at the Vik’s baseball games. Although the Vikings lost their longtime coach, Phil English, they had a good year. As Brent Chappie stated, ‘'When Coach English went to Hewitt it left a big void and no one could have filled it better than Coach Bowlin. The baseball season was filled with more excitement than ever, especially with the new head coach, who was well liked by everyone. In the spring, the baseball team attended spring training in Pensacola, Florida. It gave them a chance to perfect that curve ball, practice that swing, and last but not least, become a team. Of course, it was not all work and no play, for the guys could usually be found “girl-watching on the beach or just plain old relaxing in their spare time. Most of them returned with drop dead tans that caused many girls to swoon while others were not so lucky and came back looking like lobsters. When the season got in full swing they discovered that they still had that sparkle of magic that had resulted in many victories the previous year. As the baseball season came to a close, the Vikings looked forward to another promising year. 138 Baseball Baseball David Bowers Gcotty Burch Chris Carroll Brent Chappie Ross Damico Jamey Davies Chris Gaines Greg Gilbert Mike Goodwin Derek Green Bill Hovies Michael Kizzire Baseball 139 Mitch Morgan Doug Painter Lee Qcott Oreg Sertell Scott Landers Jody Landrum Bubba McLemore Kevin Thomason Brad Wagner Mike Woods Baseball Kristin Metheny Jeff Sullivan 140 Baseball A Mascot With A-Peel The sunkist bandit could be seen at every pep rally and game disguised in a sunkist orange costume. He thought he could hide his true identity, but everyone knew that he was none other than Norman Ferguson, otherwise known as Mr. Big Orange around Viking territory. He was the “baddest” mascot in the east and he put fear in the soul of any other mascot who came across his path. The Erwin Eagle especially avoided Mr. Big Orange after having his head captured by our orange hero. Norman certainly lived up to everyone’s expectations as the perfect school mascot He was responsible for promoting school spirit at pep rallies and games, and he did this through his superb creativity and brilliant sense of humor. When asked how he liked being the school mascot he stated, “I like getting out of class early and getting into games free. Basically, I’m shy, so it was embarrassing at first to act crazy in front of a lot of people, but I got used to it after a short time.” Mr. Big Orange certainly proved that he could boost the school spirit of everyone, whether it was a game or pep rallies.

With all four team members returning, three of whom were seniors, he knew that he had a group of talented and experienced golfers. With the exhilerating drive for exper-tice, the golf team played in ten matches with area schools, a tournament at Marion Institute, and then on to state tournament where they met the best golfers in Alabama. 142 Golf Tennis Team FRONT ROW: Deron Harris, Chris Evans, Greg Ngueycnduc, David Parks, Tommy I otz, Jerry Orr.

The finale of this little drama finally loomed on the horizon. But there was still a football game to be played, a queen to be crowned, and a dance to attend. The football game came off without a hitch and the new Homecoming queen did a marvelous job filling the newly relinquished crown. As for the dance, there were pictures to be taken with your sweetheart, slow dances to be enjoyed, and kisses to be stolen. No one could have asked for a better ending to a more perfect week.

Homecoming 145 Academics 146 Academics Academics took a turn for the better this year. Many new thoughts and ideas were incorporated with the old way. Not that the old ways were not correct, but the new ways were full of improvements. With this year being the Bicentennial Celebration of the signing of the Constitution, it was vital to include this into each of the classes. Whether it was English, history, math, science, or a vocational course, patriotism was well defined in the classes through assignments and discussions. Geography was another idea drafted into academics this year. It was our goal to tie geography in with all subjects. While studying the major courses, the teachers were as eager as the students to discuss, reveal, and learn — always finding new and interesting knowledge. Academics classes were offered on a variety of levels to suit the needs of the students and provide them with as much knowledge as possible. They recaptured basic skills and reenforced the fundamentals of each and every subject. Students were provided with the essential skills needed to survive. Students were able to apply their classroom work to their everyday life. Academics 147 Jarvis Stevenson concentrates as he perfects his skills with the computer.

The members of the Disc and Diamond Club worked for the advancement of honor, loyalty, valor, leadership, and good citizenship among its members and students with whom they came in contact. In order to raise money for their service project the club sold candy. The project was the renovation of th Huffman High brick sign in front of the school. They had a great time knocking down the wall and relaying the bricks.

Day Parade. Disk and Diamond 161 162 Or ?ar lizations Clubs and other organizations played important parts in the lives of most students. Without them school would not have been interesting. Although they took up a lot of time, many students remained dedicated to them. To be in an organization a student had to be willing to devote much of his time to the specific organization. Many students found themselves staying after school to finish projects and attend meetings. The organizations were not all work and no play; students had their fun too. They were interesting and gave students the chance to meet other people. Organizations 163 Club Improves Qchool Grounds LEFT TO RIGHT WlurntB, Mrl.au LaGnue, Akria Koat r. ROW Erica Sullivan.

Gre Thontoaoo The FRENCH CLUB was composed of more than 90 members. From the work that was done, members gained a better understanding of the language and its many facets into society. The club focused on several events throughout the year: The Christmas party, the ordering of jerseys, and the service project. The Christmas party was an enjoyable activity which included the cooking and eating of French food along with the fellowship of other French speaking students. Ordering ierseys was an exciting idea to many of the club’s members. Having a choice of the design and motto made wearing the jerseys a joy. The biggest event of the year was the service project. The French Club decided on improving the appearance of the entrance to C building, which includes the office and auditorium. The reason for this decision was simply based on the fact that so many things happen in and around that area that it should be more attractive and more impressive to anyone that entered. The club worked hard and provided a lot of enjoyment for its members. It provided the recreation that the students of Huffman could appreciate and learn from. Officer On Sl p� .

Among the various events which took place was the annual Christmas party. Spanish food was prepared and second year Spanish students performed a special version of A Christmas Carol, entirely in Spanish! Another big event was the ordering of club shirts. These shirts were especially popular since the club’s motto, Ala Buena Vida or “To the Good Life,’’ was a major part of the design. The biggest activities were the trips to Mexico and to the Spanish convention. These activities heightened the focus on the study of Spanish and the many interesting areas it includes. The club was definitely a success, proving that Huffman's Spanish Club knew the steps To the Good Life.” Honor Society, LEFT TO RIGHT: Kriaha Williams, Alicia Elmore.

Everyone in the LATIN CLUB had one thing in common: they had taken at least one year of Latin and had studied the origin of the languge. The club aroused interest in the Latin language for both present and past Latin students. It showed Latin students that Latin was more than a language; it was a major part of history. The club held a Christmas party at Huffman Methodist Church. At the party the sponsor showed slides on Latin and Mythology. The members also participated in a school improvement project. Overall the club had a lot of fun but learned a lot at the same time.

DECA members developed a leadership characteristic which added a whole new dimension to their future careers in marketing, merchandising and management.

The newly established ART CLUB wanted to enter many contests, but this was not possible because the club was getting started. It was, however, able to submit port folios for art scholarships. The Art Club was a busy club. The members had an art designing contest to determine what would appear on their t-shirts. They also bought a printing press and added a darkroom for their school service project. TOP TO BOTTOM: Ms. Blackwell. Sponsor, Brian Covington. Rep.; Audrey Johnson, Pres.; Jimmy Dunkan. V.

And considering the scientific ability of each member it was no wonder the science fair was successful. The members also attended a paper reading contest at U.A.B., the winners then participated in the state competition held at Auburn University. As members of the Science Club, students were also members of the Alabama Junior Academy of Science. To polish students’ minds in the different fields of science, each member was required to create an original and interesting science project. The scientific study of plants is horticulture and the club certainly proved they knew their science well by planting flowers as an effort to add shine to the school. LEFT TO RIGHT.

What it was not known for was the recreational and practical activities that the organization sponsored. For fun, the H.H.S. organization held a Christmas social for club members where Mr. Simmons was the honored guest speaker. Additionally, a teacher appreciation day was held on February 12 to show gratitude to our well respected teachers. As spring rolled around the Honorary Historical Society, along with the National Honor Society, gave up a Saturday to build a needed walkway for the back courtyard. So that all costs of needed materials for the many activities could be provided for, the H.H.S. held a candy sale. To add a little comic relief from usual hard work the club members provided for themselves a well deserved pizza party. The Honorary Historical Society certainly made history in ’88.

In support of the prevention of drinking and driving, STUDENTS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING were incredibly active. Not only did SADD become an active national chapter, they also participated in a state wide rally held by the organization. Drug Free for Life. Several speakers educated members about alcohol and drugs. One such speaker was Liz Sims from Drugs Free for Life. SADD also worked closely with WBMG with their For Kid’s Sake program. Additionally, members participated in the homecoming parade and kept a scrapbook of school accomplishments. With the consequences of drunk driving being a tragic problem SADD made efforts with taxi companies to provide a safe ride for those fun-loving prom couples. With education and awareness the SADD hope of fewer drunk driving accidents became a reality. L TO R: Amanda Tomlinson. Kelly Pinion. Kristie Walker. Melissa Seal. Dietrick Winchester. Jen Flemming.

If you’ve ever walked by the lunchroom during activity period, you probably thought someone was having a party. Well, it wasn’t exactly a party, but it was JUNIOR AGAPE having a meeting. Meetings were sometimes held after school and it gave the girls a chance to discuss future projects and club sweethearts. They also caught up on the latest gossip. Junior Agape was a Christian group composed of girls who did service projects in their community. The members allotted time out of their busy schedules to help needy causes throughout the year. They found themselves helping a needy family at Christmastime by providing them with toys, clothes and food. The hard work and participation eventually paid off with the help of Mrs. Leah Dozier, the sponsor. They looked forward to the coming year. 174 Junior Agape ROW 1: Kim Nunnelly. Christy Culpepper.

With the nearly 70 members, the club reached out in a special way to help the community and Huffman High. Besides the donations to Toys for Tots,” and the sending of Valentines to a nearby nursing home, the club also did their annual service project. They chose to plant flowers around the school for improving the appearance of Huffman. With all these projects, Senior Agape demonstrated its willingness to be a part of a better community.

With the 1988 presidential campaigns well underway, a select group of politically motivated student voiced their opinions. This group of political intellects called themselves the YOUNG DEMOCRATS. With high aspirations the Young Democrats organized a debate, scheduled guest speakers, inspirited lively group discussions and contributed to the community through Toys for Tots. In addition to helping needy families, the members invited Mr. Steve Smith, a libertarian, to speak on the controversial subject of drug testing. In resemblance to actual political parties, the Young Democrats challenged the Future Republicans to a debate; however, this debate was not to win or lose but to educate students about the political issues and events in their distinguished democratic society. 4 Officer - Brett Ro , V.

These students joined together and were known as the FUTURE REPUBLICANS. The Future Republicans und the Young Democrats met in a debate. This debate was simple, educational, and very informative for students; it gave members a chance to express their opinions on national issues. The members also went to Huntsville to hear presidential candidate Jack Kemp. While there they toured the Space and Rocket center. Because the Future Republicans was a group of politically motivated students, they encouraged others to become aware and to educate themselves on a political level.

Being a member of the Colorguard was a unique experience. Not only did the members have a chance to show off their skills, but they also added color to the half-time show and the pep rallies.

Band-Ten-Hut One-two-ready-play was the familiar sound that emited from drum major Stephen Reese’s mouth as the Mighty Viking Band began their halftime performance. Stephen stated, Being drum major is the toughest job I have ever attempted. It’s a twenty-four hour a day job. As drum major, Stephen was responsible for many things — teaching drills, starting renear-sals, maintaining discipline, and conducting the band. “The best thing about being drum major is the feeling you get when you are on the field during competition and when you are performing for a large crowd,” said Stephen. Stephen’s hard work and dedication proved to be successful because the band received superior ratings at each of its many competitions. Bell player, Meredith Madison, perform “Russian Sailors Dance” like a professional. Warderick Judkins dazzle the crowd with his dynamic solo in “Vote for Me.” 182 Band Baritone players.

Jay Hicka join in with the band during “Livin’ on a Prayer as the Colorguard performs. Band Camp One-hundred twenty people showed up three weeks before school for Band Camp — a week of hard work, a lot of sweat, and early and long hours. These people were the band members. Everyday they were on the field from 8:00-12:00 in the mornings and from 3:00-7:00 in the afternoons. Although they did not have a band director, the dedicated members successfully got through the week. During this week, many band members injured knees, ankles, arms and fingers, but with the help of Carol Johnson, Kristen Reese, and Robert Faircloth. the band got everything in working order. As Chris Stubbs stated, “It was rough, but it will be worth it when the competitions come around.” At the end of the week, they were rewarded with a party. Band 179 The Huffman Band work hard during August to get the show together. Symphonic Band A Stage of Music Selling food and drinks was a familiar sight to many of the members of the CONCERT AND SYMPHONIC BANDS. They worked in the concession stands at the Civic Center during car shows, at the yearly circus, and at other special events. They worked to raise money for their annual spring trip to Florida. With so much going on, one wondered when they had time to practice. Well, it was not easy, but they did. The distinctive sounds of the band could be heard after school when they practiced for hours until every note was polished and perfected. Some students went above and beyond the call of duty which eventually paid off when they were selected for the Alabama Band Association Reading Band. Others worked twice as hard to be selected for the University of Alabama Honor Band. The Symphonic Band was invited to play at the Galleria during the Christmas season. This was a great honor. Being in the band was not easy because it took a lot of patience, dedication, and time. 184 Symphonic and Concert Bands Concert Band Chansoniers Sang Their Way info The Hearts of Students FIRST ROW: Kent Howie, Kenneth Johnson, Wendy Crumpton, Casey Coleman, Steve Casey.

A group of handsome young men was seen around campus wearing jerseys with a big C on them. These young men were singers who called themselves CHANSONIERS. During the spring, hopeful initiates were put through the wringer and made to do everything from carrying a stuffed goat to doing housework for the initiators. These students wanted the honor of wearing the jersey, the tux, and the name Chan-sonier. Was it really worth all of the pain and embarrassment? For those who were selected, it was. The Chansoniers performed well when they were called upon. They presented a Christmas and a Spring concert for the entire student body and competed in district and state competitions. The group selected Amy Alexander, a lovely senior girl, for their sweetheart. L TO R: Todd Lake. Chap.; Ryan Clifton. PrNorman Ferguson. Sec.; David Casey. Vice Pres.; Casey Coleman, Tress.

The Music Department provided opportunities for students of various levels of ability and experiences to participate in a singing group. The department had four groups — Concert Choir, Mixed Ensemble, Girls’ Chorus, and Chan-soniers. Throughout the year these groups warmed the hearts of the school and the community by presenting beautiful music. The groups were invited often to present concerts. On December 16 the Mixed Ensemble sang in the atrium of the Riverchase Galleria. This group was composed of a select group of students. To be selected by Mr. Alan Gillespie to become a member of the group was the highest honor given by the department. At their annual Christmas concert on December 17, all the choral groups filled the air with beautiful Christmas music at Ridgecrest Baptist Church. They also gave the whole city of Birmingham the opportunity to hear their harmonious sound and unique renditions at the Festival of Trees which was held at the Civic Center during the Christmas holidays. The dedication of these young singers showed again when they participated in local, district, and regional competitions. At each level they performed in superb fashion and received excellent or superior ratings. In the spring, the Huffman family enjoyed one of the best concerts in the history of the department. It was clearly evident that much time had been spent in preparation for the concert. Concert Choir LEFT TO RIGHT: Jennifer Wooten. Barry Ellia, Tonya Maple . Jennifer Trull. Steve Caaey. David Casey.

Although their skillful tasks were always needed, their work was most often taken for granted. Along with being at every play rehearsal, a member of the technical crew had to know certain portions of the script in order to adjust the lights or manipulate the microphones from the sound board at the exact time. There was no one job that was more important than the other and there was always something to do. While under the tolerant hand of Mrs. Askew they were always on call to help with stage lights or the operation of the sound board. Even though this group ranged from the amateur lighting operator to the most professional sound engineer, everyone was important when it came to perfection behind the scenes. Performing Better Than Ever The APPRENTICE THESPIANS helped to bring a better understanding of the theatrical arts to the beginning drama student. This club encouraged the first year drama student to participate in play try-outs and other aspects of the theatre. During the year, they performed before their peers in class and learned everything from improvisation to memorizing lines for actual plays. Basically, the association gave the student confidence and enabled him to perform in front of an audience while sharpening his speaking skills as well. ROW 1: Joanna Boon , Nina Boockholdt.

The INTERNATIONAL HONOR THESPIAN SOCIETY saluted the exceptional talent shown by speech and drama students. Although most honor thespians has been apprentice thespians at one time, they had slightly more experience in the theatrical arts. Their motto describes the thespian outlook altogether: Act Well Your Part — There All the Honor Lies. Keeping that in mind, all honor thespians performed to the best of their abilities in all theatrical areas in which they participated. ROW 1: Stacy Mitchell. Robin Thomas. Erika Brewer.

Apprentice Thespians and Honor Thespians 189 Speaking Skills Were Kept Razor Sharp Everyone in one form or another communicates with other human beings. It is this ability to communicate that is the basis for DEBATE. Students in this class comprised the traveling debate team and were continuously asked to read up-to-date articles on controversial issues so that Huffman could maintain an advantage in frequently held tournaments. These tournaments were conducted at high schools and universities statewide. Tournaments began in October and Huffman got off to a great start. At the Vestavia High School tournament the novice team of Jennifer Sides and Bryan Hammond, along with Scott McGee and Jason Aycock, made a respectable showing — with both teams bringing home wins. The Wake Forest tournament saw the first wins in varsity debate with partners Ginger Murphrey and Brett Ross achieving a record of two wins and four losses. Finally, there was the Charles Henderson High School Debate to close out October on a winning note. Tom O’Rourke was awarded fourth place varsity speaker and Brett Ross reached the final round in extemporaneous speaking. Along with Scott McGee, Brett also received a nomination for outstanding speaker in Congress. November brought with it the Homewood High Debate Tournament and a trip to the highquarter finals for Tom O’Rourke and his partner from Guntersville. The State Trumbauer Tournament was held in early December and Erika Brewer placed second in dramatic interpretation. At the Auburn University Debate Tournament, which closed out a great year for Huffman, Tom O’Rourke and his partner. John Brewer, won first place in championship debate, the fourth man novice team of Bryan Hammond, Wendy Buchanan. Travis Williams, and Melvin Jones won first place, and Bryan Hammond and Wendy Buchanan won third place in the “Best Affirmative Team’’ category. Brett Ross placed first in extemporaneous speaking and was also awarded third place varsity speaker. Bryan Hammond was named fifth place novice speaker. This tremendous team effort allowed Huffman to walk away with the third place sweepstakes award. Over the weekend of January 15th the Ninth Annual Birmingham Forensics Tournament was held. Huffman was the host to 250 students from twenty-two junior high and high schools, including two schools from Georgia and one from Mississippi. The debate team, whether working in class or participating in tournaments, was always busy. With their consistent efforts and Mrs. Asket’s help, they made this a winning year for Huffman. It seems that every class had a special club with which it was affiliated. Debaters fulfilled their need to be a part of an organization by joining the NATIONAL FORENSICS LEAGUE. The NFL was a way of rewarding those debaters who showed outstanding achievement. It was also oriented towards increasing interest in debate. Becoming a member of the NFL was easy. Anyone who became a member simply earned 25 speaker points which was earned through debate competitions, individual events, or a combination of both. Speaking in churches or giving a speech for English class also served as a way of accumulating points. When the points were earned one received a certificate of membership. With each increase in points he became eligible for bigger and better awards, the highest of which was the double ruby emblem. Being a part of this nationally recognized organization was a great honor. It was very gratifying to be rewarded for one’s efforts in debate. The NFL served its purpose well as was reflected by its growing membership and the increased quality of debaters it produced. LEFT TO RIGHT: Erika Brewer. Ginger Murphrey, Traci Side . Robin Thomas.

Sandra Gamel Membership in the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY was the highest honor bestowed upon students at Huffman. Only the most outstanding students were chosen to be bestowed with this prestigious honor. Exceptional leadership qualities, as well as the ability to work well with others, a good character, and a good outlook on life were a few of their most distinguished qualities. Because of the high requirements only a small number of students were tapped with the honor. A committee of faculty members worked hard to select students they felt were the most deserving of this honor. Because it was such a high honor, extreme care was taken in the selection. Those that were selected were juniors and seniors who had maintained 3.5 grade point average while at Huffman. Participation in activities such as athletics, academic or math teams, clubs, and church and community activities were considered in the selection as well as the person’s character. Certainly the decision was hard, but a few tended to capture the true essence of the award. Busy at work. Honor Society members work to finish an assignment. LEFT TO RIGHT: Ms. Delahay.

This year marked the first year of the CHESS CLUB. This club’s main concern was summed up by its president, Paul Lambert. ‘‘Our club’s main goal is to gain an appreciation for the age old game of chess and to enhance the spirit of healthy competition. These two aspects were shown when the club was invited to compete in an Inter-High School Chess Competition at Ramsay which was held in February. Because only sic people could participate, the Chess Club prepared early by holding private games to eliminate club members until the lucky six re- mained. Under the brilliant guidance of Mr. Moyana the club established itself as a truly intelligent as well as a fun organization. Although this was the only club based on the strategy and knowledge of a board game, it was not taken as a frivolous fellowship. You Can't Judge a Book by It's Cover The word “yuppie” is a combination of the “hippie” of the 60’s and the “yip-pie” of the 70’s. One of the new clubs this year coined the term YUPPIES as its name. In abbreviated form it stands for Youth Under Peer Pressure In Everyday Society. Those who felt as if they had been pressured because of their appearance, beliefs, or even their social status joined this worthwhile group. This club showed its worth by planning several projects such as cleaning up the swamp to give more room for cars and even selling doughnuts to provide money for the club’s treasury. Although many individuals judged these people by their clothes or hairstyles, they showed by organizing Yuppies that “you can’t judge a book by its cover.” L-R: Sharon Horvath. Troy Meade.

Despite all odds and obstacles, all six issues of the Valkyrie attracted the attention of the school. With articles such as “Thom Thalk, readers were entertained by the opinions and insights of columnist Thom O’Rourke. The “News and Reviews page also kept all abreast of the world of entertainment and literature. For those individuals who enjoyed a little light reading, the quote maze was a great source of frustrating fun. The endless hours of dedication and hard work by editors Cynthia Balen-tine and John Salmon and sponsor Joan Garrett shone brightly in every issue. However, one cannot forget that behind the proud sponsor and the beaming editors was the fun loving Valkyrie staff that kept all on their toes with controversial yet professional reporting.

Believe it or not, during the month of February a fair was held in the school gym. The Annual Health Fair, sponsored by HEALTH OCCUPATIONS STUDENTS OF AMERICA, gave fellow schoolmates the opportunity to have their blood pressure checked, eyes examined, diabetes analyzed and other services performed. H.O.S.A.'s hard work paid off by giving students an insight to better health, while they acquired knowledge of the medical profession. Renee Hollman stated, The fair experience gave me the opportunity to use my skills.” L-R: 1st ROW: Tonya Moye. Kendra Hairston. Monica Roberta, Marahiela Richardson. Kandis HollifieW.

The Valhalla’s purpose as a memoir was to sum up the school year by capturing the good and bad times of the year. Valhalla staff members worked extremely hard to make it interesting and memorable. There was much work involved — pictures had to be cropped, captions and copy had to be written, and layouts had to be drawn. The staff devoted much of its summer vacation to working on the beginning stages of the yearbook. Long tedious hours were spent getting the senior portraits taken during the months of July and August . Hours, days, even weeks were spent selling ads to businesses to help pay for the book. The editor and co-editors used many study lunch periods planning the basics of the book. Selling yearbooks to four or five session rooms in thirty minutes was no laughing matter for a staff member, nor was distributing approximately 75 books to four or five session rooms any easier. Gathering and organizing 56 organizations, full of hyperactive students, to take their pictures was a job considered much less than untroubled. It was not easy, but staff members were dedicated to creating a better book for everyone, something to be cherished until the end of time. From classes to student life to athletics, the Valhalla staff strove to capture it on paper as it was in reality. Valhalla staff members were not committed to all work and no play. The tremendous task of taking school day pictures proved to be enjoyable and everyone sighed a breath of relief after LEFT TO RIGHT: Kelly Debro, Jennifer Kunce. Mrs. Yvonne Powell. Advisor.

Carmen Wilson. the thirteen member staff successfully completed the job of getting pictures of over 1100 students. Staying after school until 5:30 to meet a deadline was something only the staff could make exciting. There was definitely more work than play but it was worth it. Why? The deadline parties! As soon as a deadline was met, a grand celebration took place. It was a relaxing change from the everyday hustle-bustle. The parties included everything from Coca-Cola to cupcakes to pizza. This made deadlines even more special. To end the year on the right key, the Valhalla staff presented Mrs. Yvonne Powell, our hardworking and dedicated staff advisor, a beautiful plaque in recognition of her outstanding service. Truly she was “a cut above. Being a staff member proved to be an unpredictable and unforgetable experience. Jennifer busily type away at the typewriter.

Valhalla Staff 221 Looking Back As the year comes to an end We look back to the past All the memories ana the friends It just went by so fast. It seems that not too long ago We left our childhood years. And entered another stage of life Where we looked up to our peers. Looking back, it seems so near As if it happened yesterday Like the time we got lost in school But eventually found our way. Remember the time we thought we failed But instead we made an ’‘A Or how about our very first date When we couldn’t think of anything to say? The past was filled with memories Of precious moments, fun. and friends. But if we had another chance We’d live through it all again. The path on which we’ve ventured Has had its highs and lows. But on that path we chased our dreams And reached those long-time goals. It really hasn’t been easy But yes — it’s been worthwhile, All the struggle and the pain To make that one last mile. It hurts to think the end is near Most of us will be apart, But at least we’ll have the memories Forever in our hearts. As the year ended “a cut above meant more than a simple yearbook theme. It meant that like multicolored precious stones spread across a dark velvet background the entire student body, faculty, and administration had shone brightly to prove how priceless we really were. The Valhalla staff and its sponsor, Mrs. Powell, tried to capture every glimmer and twinkle our school had to offer. Special thanks is extended to Mrs. Haslip, Miss Little, Matt Clayton, and Mr. Seay for their time and services in helping us complete this memoir. Thanks to the principal, teachers, student body, Hewitt Photographers, and Bob Okin Southern Photo Service for their support and cooperation. We offer our congratulations to the 1988 graduating class and hope that the memories collected here shall forever sparkle in their hearts.
