Bare Necessltl P.E. was another necessity to get by in life. The requirement was two strenuous years. The course was not all fun and games. For six weeks the P.E. classes studied health. The classes participated in other units, such as softball, archery and badmitten. A written test was given at the end of each unit of study, along with a skills test. Science was a requirement of two years. For the first time freshmen were required to take Physical Science, and they didn't have a choice of taking either Biology I or Physical Science. I liked having the choice when I was a freshman so I could be ahead in my science courses, said junior Bryant Turbeville. I wanted to take as many as I could because I want to go into medicine. In spite of homework, research papers and tests all students got something out of academic requirements. After sitting through a social studies class under Mrs. Barbara Stafford for the second year, taking both Latin and Greek from Mrs. Gayle Cloud or having Mrs. Jerri Rotenberry for Calculus, Trigonometry and Computer Programming, students found they really got to know each other and their teachers.

Pik8tCh Besides reading, writing and arithmetic, what did we do all day long? The answer depended on whom you asked. If you asked some newspaper reporters, they might have told you about story assignments, deadlines and setting type. lf you asked a few musicians in the band, they would have told you about the the concerts, contests and the trip to St. Louis. The average person usually thought of the band as a bunch of musicians who played at football games and gave an occasional concert. Nothing could have been farther from the truthl The band all home and away football games, and at several home basketball games as a pep band. Aside from playing at athletic events, the band also gave several concerts, one at Christmas, one in the spring and one for the student body near the end of the year.

In April, they competed in a contest at Six Flags Over Mid-America in St. Louis, where they won a bronze medal. They spent the rest of the time visiting The Gateway Arch, taking in the attractions at Six Flags and seeing the sights of St. Louis. The trip was generally pretty good, said seventh grader Boone Atkins. lt was an experience to remember, and the tours were great, especially the ride up in the St Louis Arch. To raise money for this trip, the band sold ice cream during the three lunches and sponsored the annual Variety Show. Money raising was made easier because the band doubled in size from 12 to 24.
