IN THE LAB Perhaps the most interesting assignment in a seemingly endless class was the lab assignment. Labs provided an escape from the monotonous book work and tests, therefore receiving great popularity from students. Various activities fell under the term lab”. In Biology, scalpels were sharpened as students prepared to dissect rats and pigs. Chemistry class saw fascinating results from their experiments with chemical reactions; while across the building, the Home Ec classes prepared delicacies in their kitchen labs. Lab time was that in which mistakes were to be made, but where learning was to be accomplished; and through numerous labs, even the most uninterested student grasped some knowledge. Lab activities were very advantageous to those involved, and even though some labs lasted longer than the interest in them, moans were heard once more as the books were brought back. MAKING a new friend. Ricky Poling introduces to the Biology class their new classmate, a furry little mouse whose new home is the Biology room.

THE THRILL OF VICTORY AMD THE AGONY OF DEFEAXT The “Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat” were familiar words in the sports talk of 1986- 1987. The football team started it off with the winning of the first playoff game in Buckhannon. The drama increased with the win against Independence at Beckley. The next week the talk of the students was centered on on how we would only have one more game to win to be the West Virginia AA Champions. The only team standing in the way of this title was Bridgeport. Finally the night came, but unfortunately things didn't work out the way the students and fans wanted it to and we lost. The basketball season held the same predicament as the football season. The first night of the sectional playoffs came. The talk of the fans was very optimistic of a state title but unfortunately Petersburgh crushed those hopes, so those words filled the air throughout the year. AT the first playoff game, Delton Rhodes, kicks off the ball at the beginning of the second half.
