The Last Hurrah A thought for the future Three cheers for the end of another chapter in life, one filled with memo- ries, both painful and happy. After 12 grueling years, a sigh of relief came to many but along with relief came thoughts of the future and the changes that will shape lives. Kim Griffith and Anita Rogers be- lieved graduation made them more re- sponsible and ready for the challenge. Students aren't the only ones who got all knotted up this time of year. English teacher Ms. Lourdes Winters said, I usually cry. I always have at least one thought when I see a senior I know walk across the stage. It may not always be a good thought. Familiar faces to the end ,. Graduates Julia Batson. Uhris Beard. and David Berggren awaited the final moments before they received their di- plomas. fphoto hy Nancy Smithl Along with the expectations, seniors were people, too, and often hungry but the Senior Picnic of '85 solved that, for while at least. With the help of Ms. Winters, the senior sponsor, and other faculty members, a meal of fried chick- en, potato salad, rolls, iced tea, and cake pleased many. Games of volley ball and frisbee throwing were played to burn off the extra calories encountered from the feast. Another festivity included the Senior Cruise. Instead of the usual trip to the Bahamas, seniors have an opportunity to witness the many splendors of Mexi- co and its people. So once again the curtain falls on a another year. When friends depart to where their dreams become reality. Mary Karam iff hi' 3' 1 'im Graduation

Students need to cool off While many of us lazed around and did nothing this summer, some faculty and students had a story to tell about their summer. On June 20, Mrs. Jane Cooper, Mrs. Dottie Hicks and 19 students left on a 21-day European Tour through Eng- land, France, Spain, Morocco, and Afri- ca. Mrs. Cooper's most memorable stop on the trip was the D-Day beaches on the Normandy coast of France and the Omaha cemetery where 9,600 soldiers, killed in the Normandy Invasion, are buried. When asked about the overall trip she said, The group as a whole got along superbly. If I could go back and change anything it would only be the length of time spent - our trips are never long enough. While fun and excitement highlight- ed the summer for many, Mauldin wel- comed a new band director, Mr.Wayne Bagwell. Mr. Bagwell, with 41 members of the Phantom Brigade Marching Band, attended a week long band camp held August 11-17 at the Civitan Camp, 20 miles north of Greenville. During the day, the band members practiced for an average of nine hours a day. Practices were different every day, some days we would work on our pre-game show and the next day work on just the half time show, but in everything we kept im- proving, said Mr. Bagwell. After practicing in grueling heat, the band members relaxed and spent time swimming in the lake or pool, playing bumper pool and canoeing. From the east coast to the west coast, students traveled all summer, visiting friends, relatives, or simply having fun. Some students attended the Governor's School for the Arts and Academics, oth- ers attended debate tournaments and yearbook conferences. While students participated in varied activities most students had one thing in common: en- joying their summer. Laura Jenkins 3 Tv 1 Take one down and pass it around.
