GATHERINC-ES Fewer assemblies were held this year in compliance with new guidelines governing time spent out of class. Howev- er, much to our delight, there were a few occasions when we did get a welcomed break from hitting the books. The year began with the tra- ditional sophomore orientation assembly. Newcomers to the school were introduced to the various aspects of school life along with facts about school rules and policies. lennifer Dorman, captain of the varsity cheerleaders encouraged the sophomores to take part in school functions and partici- pate in many activities offered by the school. She also aroused school spirit in the class of 1988. Following lenni- fer, Student Body President Tonya Adams encouraged sophomores to keep their heads held high and take pride in their class. Adminis- trators Dr. Marable, Mr. Norris, and Mr. Warren welcomed the sophomores also and gave them some friendly words of wisdom. On Fridays when home foot- ball games were scheduled and once during basketball season, pep rallies were held at the end of sixth period. The gym rumbled and the cheers rang out in preparation for the big game. Cheerleaders built sky high mounts while the band blasted out the fight song. At some of the pep ral- lies, athletes were introduced. During the Christmas as- sembly, entertainment was provided by a combination of all performing arts available at school. The band played a va- riety of Christmas music while the chorus sang new and old Christmas songs, and the dra- ma department performed a Christmas play. A new kind of assembly also was held this year. We re- ceived our charter for a SADD club from the national organi- zation in December. Over TOO students joined the new and exciting organization. The SADD rallies were not only fun, but they educated us on the dangers of drunk driving and let us show a unity in car- ing about each other. Although fewer assemblies were held than we would have liked, we enjoyed to the fullest the ones we did have. The class of 198 8 arrives on cam- pus.

A N K3-HT FUR ROMAN DREAMS Our usual lazy Saturday afternoons spent lounging in front of the TV. after sleeping in were replaced one particu- lar Saturday. This Saturday was spent hastily speeding from florist to florist searching for the perfect corsage or bou- tonniere, rushing to pick up tuxedoes or renting limou- sines, and making final ar- rangements for this magical night. What remained of the day was spent in front ofthe mirror trying to achieve perfection. The traditionalists among us drove to our dates' houses, pinned the corsage on the dress, posed for pictures, lis- tened to a nervous father de- liver his lecture, and then made our way to a special res- taurant for dinner. While many had dates for the evening, some of us choose the stag route. Whether along or with a group of friends, everyone an- ticipated a great time. The ordinary bleak gym we had all grown accostumed to metamorphosized into an ele- gant Roman ballroom. The mo- ment we strolled through the door, we sensed the excite- ment. The music surged from the speakers as Chico, the Dl, spun the records. When it came to announce the King and Queen of the Prom, Craig Strickland and Tammy Ross reigned on the dance floor. Promptly at midnight the last dance brought these who had stayed through the evening to their feet. The festivities had ended at school, but the night had just begun. The party moved to Union Station into the wee hours of the morning. By 1:00 we all arrived at the after prom. Until almost sunrise the dancing and celebrating con- tinued. After a full night of dancing and socializing and a busy day in preparation, We arrived home finally. As anx- ious parents gradually relaxed, we collapsed into bed dream- ing and remembering post- poned to another night. The Royal Couple. As junior class president, Tonya Adams has the honor of crowning Craig Strickland and Tammy Ross prom king and queen. Features 35
