I 4fSmoking Did new smoking rules cramp your style? There was no more sneaking to the restroom or the bus area outside because the new location of the smoking area near the portables. Students met in a marked off area. It was like a private smoking lounge. School authorities said the smoking area near the buses caused a fire hazard. But Mr. Harold Newsome, assistant principal, said without the smoking area there would be more vandalism, and more suspensions for smoking in unauthorized areas. He thought having a time and a place to smoke would cut down on class cuts. The students adjusted to the new area, and tardies to class were at a minimum. Thelma Palmer said, The smoking area gives me freedom. I feel more comfortable being around ones who smoke. Tina Phelps stated, If I didnlt have the smoking area, I would go back to smoking in the restrooms. The faculty thought smoking problems had been solved. Vandalism and smoking in the restroom decreased. Benita Killingsworth To Smoke Or ot To Smoke That I Th Questlon YE es ni J sf dw I ff! i ffffflg P if tt sas, 3 s sg , sgtfzf wt- st S Cooling off!

Fin ll We Won Cheers and chants rang out from the baseball field as students and football players alike geared up for the big Hillcrest game at the annual bonfire. In years past, the bonfire had been held during school time, but this year, amidst a cool, nippy night, the bonfire burned brightly, lighting the spirits of the many fans who came to show support for their favorite team. I thought it was an enormous success, stated cheerleader Elizabeth Finger. I was pleasantly surprised at how many people showed up. Throughout the entire week, students and teachers donated money to the spirit chain. Originally a competition between J.L. Mann and Mauldin, the spirit chain built a sense of pride in the school particularly during the rival week. Donations came slowly at the start, but after Miss Koon's fire and brimstonei' speech concerning spirit, money in the cans began to jingle. Even though we didn't win the chain and I contributed all that money, I think it raised the spirit of everyone, stated Leslie MacDonald. lt gave us that extra boost to win the game. Despite the great surge of generosity, Hillcrest won the spirit chain by a difference of over 5200. The spirit chain loss, however, did not dampen the enthusiasm and gusto of the players and faithful fans. Waves of orange, brown, and white filled Hillcrest's stands and thunderous roars of support helped boost Mauldin to a long-awaited victory. Shannon McGlade Raise your hands!
