Commercials, posters, bill- boards, bumper stickers, and pamphlets plagued the coun- ty with candidates faces and their promises. November 4 welcomed excitement and ex- pectations from 30 to 40 Mauldin students. Trey Wilder, a junior who campaigned for Carroll Campbell and Bill Workman said, I got involved in this election because I thought Campbell and Workman were by far the best candidates for the offices. I wanted to see them win. Campaigning began months before the actual elec- tion. Hours were spent in or- ganization ancl publicity.

The cand dates were very appreciati and were glad to see so ma young people involved. I' glad I got involved because met a lot of people and had great time. Laura Jenkins

Q6 Lwuwg O arnlng The Block Letter M Determination, sweat, pain Cpossibly some bloodj, hours of practice and opponent con- frontation are the things that earned students athletic cer- tificates of letter. Athletics played an impor- tant part in the lives of a great number of students and teachers. Coach Mike Frye said, Athletics aid in the ma- turing process in that the stu- dent athlete is confronted with challenging situations that he or she must overcome O C O in a way not involving aca- demics. It also builds charac- ter because hard work and discipline is required in all sports. At the fall, winter, and spring athletic banquets, all team members who earned enough points and met the coaches' requirements re- ceived their certificates of let- ter. I considered my letter as a reward for all the time and work I put into running, said Andrea Knight. Lettering in a sport took a lot of time and dedication, but students succeeded in setting their goal of a certificate of letter. Marty Jarosick said, A letter is a goal, it's something we all work for. It gives ev- eryone a goal to shoot for. Sport seasons came and went. Sometimes teams won and sometimes they lost. But hard work and determination paid off in the certificate letter. Laura Jenkins A letter and the beat. Jimmy Wallace and Natalie Bordenick kept the beat in the band room during lunch. Letters were awarded to the band members as well as to athletes. iPhoto by Robert Freemanj Wearing the letter. Guys weren't the only ones who wore letter jackets.
