Wisdom, wit from Weef W eef! Sounds like a word from another language, but it is really artist Keith Turner’s pen name. Just who is Keith Turner? This 17-year-old senior was usual¬ ly quiet until he got pen and paper in hand. That is when he could get radically outspoken, spurring letters- to-the-editor written in protest of a flaming British flag. In doing illustrations for the paper and drawing cartoons to amuse friends, Keith rarely had a day go by without someone saying, “Draw me a picture!” Students agreed that Turner’s wit was often right on target and his perception of people and the world around us was almost brutally accur¬ ate. “His cartoons are really good and really add something to the paper,” said senior Kathy Moore. Sophomore J. R. Lippus agreed and added, “He should continue as a cartoonist for a future in newspaper.” That advice fit in well with Turner’s future plans for he would like to “be a political cartoonist, or something like that.” He received plenty of practice while doing pastel drawings at Busch Gardens Theme Park, where he was also trained in doing caricatures. Accepted to James Madison University, he planned a major in Liberal Arts in order to “gain insight into the aspects of human life.” ARTISTE EXTRAORDINAIRE, Keith “Weef’ Turner spends another fifth period at the drawing board. 26 Weef

Memories include friends W hat are high school memories made of? Games? Tests? Teachers? The simple, most memorable aspect of high school life is friends. Our students, naturally, did things in groups, on teams, and in classes. We were a friendly group. Whether it was a comrade, a chum, a beat friend, or that special someone, we shared our good and bad times. Our friends performed a variety of functions; laughing and joking, helping each other study, consoling in times of trouble, partying together, and filling us in on the surprise quiz next period. Yes, we put our friends through many crises. Remember “Twin Day,” when your friend was the one who wanted you to appear as ducks? Or, how about the daily borrowing of lunch money? But, our friends held out through the stressful times. After all, what is a friend? Senior Richard Johnson said, “A crazy partner who can take a joke.” Senior Kay Back puts it eloquently, “A friendship is like a taco. The more you put into it, the more you take out.” Friendship is a trust, a kind of unwritten, unspoken contract. This makes it easier to repair when breached. All around the school, we saw the groups, the teams, the couples, and noticed the camaraderie of our classmates. SENIOR DAVID MONTGOMERY and senior Tina Cox were one of the many couples seen “close together” at school during the year. SENIOR SHELBY “SHOES” SAMUELS and senior Derric Briggs were caught staring into each other’s eyes. SENIORS DENISE GRIFFIN and Sonya Williams flash one of those friendly “Warrior smiles” as they walk to class. SENIOR JOE TALIAFERRO, junior Steve Gyant and sophomore Tony Palmer spend some quiet time in the library before practice.
