Helping to support yearbook week on Punk Rock Day are Carter Dickerson, Dale Treadway, Sherri Trent and Sabra Hines. “Legs, legs, legs” is what the students and teachers saw at the hairy leg con- test. Demonstrating his hairy legs is Mr. Derick Scarborough. He received 2nd place. Go! Go!”’ yells the crowd. Senior Patty Smith rounds the end with the ball. While Shannon Melvin and Wendy Miles are determined not to let her get away. Too bad. The sen- iors won 26-0. Designing an ad layout is Shannon Melvin as Ellen Adams looks on. Ads are an important part of the year- book bringing in over $3500. With- out ads there would be no year- book. Nuntius 47
