Second Picture: The never ending rivalry between the Juniors and the Seniors to prove who possesses the most spirit encourages the Juniors to rock the gym at pep rallies. Third Picture: Juniors examine the many different types of rings they will have to choose from at the beginning of the school year. To the Juniors, the time between ordering and receiving the rings seemed like forever. Bottom Picture: Juniors did a fantastic job selling magazines despite a slow start. Over $9,000 in magazines were sold despite the depressed economy and record high unemployment. Much of the money raised will go toward the Jr.-Sr. prom that will be held in April. 58 Juniors Julie Bailey Angela Baker Tony Barber Cord Basile Cindy Batten Leon Bell Lynn Bolden Jack Jacobs Browning Chris Burgess Darryl Carter Eugene Carter Michael Carter Rhon Carter Shirley Carter Bobby Joe Chancey Fawn Chesser John Chesser Loren Clark Robert Cleland Mary Grace Clemmons Lannice Clever Franklin Crews Janet Crews Angie Davis Sophomores 59 Billy Davis Len Davis Mark Davis Rose Dixon Seleta Dowling Leisha Driggers Jan Dukes Jim Dukes Isaac Farm Chucky Folker Richard Gibson Mark Godfrey Donald Greaves Cindy Griffin Nenia Hale Kirby Hanchey Roger Hand Bunny Harris Tony Henderson Darrell Hendrix Bert Herrin Kathy Herrin Perry Herrin Suzanne Hickox Wally Highsmith Tommy Hitt Sheri Howard Terri Howell 60 Sophomores Ronnie Hurst Kim Innes Scottie Johns Terry Johns Timmy Johns Angie Johnson Barbara Johnson Lisa Johnson Ank Jordan Cyndee Justice Kimberly Kelly Nathaniel Kelly Karen Kicklighter Tim King Carey Knight Tommy Knight Joe Knox Derrick Lane Gary Lane James Lane Andy Lanier Gary Lee Gordon Lee Greg Lee Kourtney Lee Lynda Lee Michelle Lee Polly Anna Lee Sophomores 61 Randy Lee Steve Lee Travis Lee Jeff Lewis Donna Little Sherry Little Kevin Lyons Melinda Manning Danny McGill Beth McKenzie Mary McKinnon Howard McMillan Tony McMillan Jesse McNeil Cindy Melton Kathy Mercer Laura Michaels Pam Middleton Angie Miller Ray Milton Donald Moore James Moore Pam Moore Angie Morgan Pam Morgan Tammy Newham Frankie Nichols Peggy Oglesby 62 Sophomores Tony O’Neal Wendell O'Neal Lee Parker Stefanie Picklesimer Chad Purdom Lisa Purvis Rhonda Queen Gene Rentz Kelly Rentz Sherry Revels Jimmy Roberson Joy Roberson Christy Rowell Jason Rowell Paul Rowell Jimmy Ruger Jimmy Sanders David Sapp Norma Sikes Karyn Sims Audry Sloan Roger Sloan Lamar Smith Brian Steedley Charlanne Stokes Brenda Strickland Susan Strickland Tracy Thomas Sophomores 63 Kelvin Thornton Teddy Thrift Kim Tucker Rita Wainright Susan Warner Donny Wasdon Sheila Williams Lisa Willis Tony Wilson J.R.

Drama Classes combine hard work and fun to present skits and improvisation during classes, and One or Two-Act plays to the commu- nity throughout the school year. Working with spe- cial stage movements, voice control, and develop- ment of characters helps to make each student a more confident individual for the future. This year the Drama Class presented a one act dinner play to a full house called The Crosspatch. It starred Patty Griffin as Helen. Lorie Murphy as Mrs. Had- lye. and Kevin Rowell as Sam Smally. It was a rousing success for all involved and enjoyed by all who attended. Clubs 103 The 1982-83 Heron Marching Band is truly a fine organization.

Although their statistics showed that the Herons had more offense than the Wildcats, in the end the Wildcats were the ones to come out winners. This was but a faint glimmer of the fire that was beginning to burn. It was time to go back to the drawing board and reevaluate personnel with the new look of six player changes. The Herons went to work to prepare for the Warriors, an unbeaten team, ranked 1 in Class Triple-A. from Callahan Florida. As the bus turned down the long, winding dirt road to the field, there was a light rain falling on Callahan, Florida. This was the proverbial calm before the storm. For the next 48 minutes there was a blood-letting in Florida. That night the Herons became winners, with a score of 14-12. Then at the “Nest” for the first time in 82. the Herons took on the Clinch . . . 108 Football . . County Panthers. The glorious Herons destroyed the Panthers from the very first kick-off. For the second time this year, the Herons knew what the sweet taste of victory was like. The score 24-13. A great flash crossed the sky, beckoning the mighty Herons further south for the conquest of yet another Florida team.

The earth cracked as the traditional Triple-A power house, the Ware County Gators, let their jaws fall hard on the determined Herons. In a 27-12 shoot-out hearts were broken, for this could have been the game of games, but the tremendous speed and depth of the Gators overcame the heartfilled, entusiasm of Coach Murray’s boys. Thus the bitter taste of defeat which was to remain in the mouth of every player and coach from Brantley for the next two weeks. No one that watched the Bacon County Raiders escape with their lives could ever be satisfied with this 7-0 win over Brantley. The Herons defense shut down the Raiders offense to minus yards rushing. The only offense generated by Bacon County all night long resulted in their one score. Thirty-five yards of very questionable penalties, back to back, put the Herons in a hole on the five yard line. On their fourth play from the five yard line the Raiders managed to score, but then who wouldn’t with four plays from the five yard line. Brantley's hopes for a sub-region play-off birth were beginning to die. The Pierce County Bears roared onto the field with an iron determination. They were going to try and steal a Double-A sub-region game from the much respected Herons. This was one . . . above: In front of the eyes of their faithful fans, the Herons score another touchdown, left: Emory Allen, an outstanding Senior tailback for the Brantley County Herons, takes on three aggressive Ware County Gators in his surge for a Heron first down. . . . win that the Bears had to pay a price to get. The Herons displayed tremendous talent but were con- quered in the end. Brantley's loss helped pave the way for Pierce County to win the region title and go to the Double-A State finals. Homecoming quickly faded into the turbulent night sky. where an already defeated McIntosh saw a glimmer of sunshine peaking through a cloud and choose to escape the inevitable.

Homecoming week, a week of remembrance, the one and only week the students of Brantley County High School can be themselves. Letting loose on var- ious fad days such as. Dress-up Day. Also there was the very memorable Homecoming dance. Due to the unforeseen cir- cumstances Queen. Miss Joni Brauda. along with the rest of the Seniors slowly came to the realization that this was to be their last Homecoming Dance. They know that life will not always be this fair to them as it was that night 112 Football 1982-1983 Homecoming Court Debbie Herrin—Senior Football 113 114 Football ... The Homecoming pep rally was not one to reckoned with. The rally was full of enthusiasm as the football team began to get pumped up for the game. The students were exceptionally spirited at this assembly. Though the game was cancelled all of the festivities kept right on going. There was no slacking off. no one even thought about giving in to the troubles so the fun went on. Football l 15 . . . After two weeks of hard practice and reward, the Brantley County Herons were hungry. One might say that they were lean and mean. The cool breeze that swept across the battle field at Fort Charlton welcomed an angry fight. For the first time in the history of this rival war, the Indians were defeated by Brantley on their home turf. But at last the mighty Herons, in an attempt to massacre another tribe of Indians went to Irwin County. The Herons were outmanned the entire game and fell into the grasp of their enemy, 38-6. But this was not the last hoorah. It was a promise of better things to come. Coach Lee Murray, “This year has been a special year for my coaches and me. We have become very close to the team. I do not think that this relationship will ever change. I have said before, our young men believed enough in themselves to become winners. That belief may have been all they had. for as talent, depth, and size escaped them. Character, determination, dedication, and heart were their team mates. I did remark to a coach in our district region this year that I was afraid someone would pinch me and wake above: Louis Bailey and two Bacon County Raiders.

No luck, just guts and determination. I hope the attitude from this first bunch will continue and we will improve. Let it be said that all of us are proud of our 5-5 record. It is history now. but it will not be forgotten. We will miss the Seniors who sacrificed this year. But we believe, as a staff, that Brantley will achieve success and become the true champions they really are.” above: Running back Emory Allen receives advice from Head Coach Lee Murray.

Football 117 The Junior Varsity had a rough season of play this year, playing one Quad-A team, three Triple-A teams, along with two teams from their own sub-region. The young recruits played very well despite their being outclassed by larger schools. The game against Ware County, being one of their best, was the Heron's ballgame until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. Ware blocked a punt at the 12 yard line and scored three plays later. The final score was 6-6, with Garfield Greene scoring the only touchdown for the Herons. Waycross vs. Brantley in a neighboring battle. The Waycross Bulldogs had total control of the first half, shutting the Herons out. The second half was Brantley’s. If the Herons had played the first half like they did the second, the score would have been different. The final score was 27-18. Waycross over Brantley.

The best thing about the game was the J.V. players nev- er gave up. They kept on fight- ing. trying every- thing possible to dodge defeat. It was all in vain as the Glynn Academy Red Ter- rors defeated the Herons 39-0. Brantley started the Pierce game ex- ceptionally well. After the first quarter they had a 14-0 lead. During . . . 118 Football .. . the second quarter Pierce scored two T.D.'s giving them a 16-14 lead. Pierce also scored late in the final quarter winning the game 22- 14. Quad-A Brunswick whipped the Herons 51-0. in a down to earth battle. This is one game that Brantley will put in the history books and try to lose forever. The last game that the J.V. played was against the Clinch Pan- thers. It was a good one to the end with Clinch winning 20-0. above: A Heron invites a Panthers to do battle and the Panther openly accepts, below: Heron defenders ready themselves for the fight, bottom: Get the Ref. on three.

Al- though they were opti- mistic about the start of a new season, their extra effort didn’t pay off as well as they would have liked.

Track is a tradition at Brantley, something taken with great pride. These girls will prove just how true it is in the 1983 season. With seven “returning seniors, four returning juniors, four returning sophomores, and many new track stars, the Lady Herons will shatter all resistance in their paths for excellence, the girls’ team is weighed down with talent such as: seniors—Tina Drury (hurdles). Shield Griffin (highjump). Jill Jar- rell (discus). Rhonda Kyser (long jump). Elaine Parrish (880 yd. dash). Cindy Thomas (shotput). and Linda Turner (100 yd. dash); sophomores— Bunnie Harris (hurdles). Kathy Mercer (high jump). Kelley Rentz (mile). Talent such as this is what brings home the trophies . . . . 1983 will be a great year for the Lady Her- ons and a memorable one. The season starts March with an impressive field of teams visiting Brantley. The majority of the Herons track meets will be held at Brantley with only a few off track meets. In addition to the regular seasoned track meets our relay teams will participate in the Statesboro relays. Top schools from all around Georgia will compete in these relays, so the com- petition will be stiff. Once again Brantley County has the privilege of hosting both the 2-AA region meet. Having impor- tant home meets such as these gives the Herons a considerable advantage, one that “will be tak- en advantage of.

There is more of an interest in track this year than ever before, that interest and determination is what will help these young men—Win!!! The 1983 track section is dedicated to Coach Forrest Thomas, for his undieing devotion to his teams. Coach Thomas pushed them to limits be- yond imaginable comprehension. He urged his teams to strive for goals of impossible reach and helped them to accomplish such dreams. Thank you Coach Forrest Thomas from the 1983 Track teams. Track 133 Sub-region 2-AA tennis—BEWARE! Along with the up-coming girls’ team is the Veteran line-up of the boys’ team. The Herons boy’s tennis team is com- posed of: last year's first doubles seed seniors Eric Highsmith and Ricky Lee; last years second doubles seed Thomas Thrift and Richie Meyers; also returning for another year is junior Joe Knox. New comers this year are juniors Sandy Lee. Michael Saxon, and Joe Sowell; sophomore Kelvin Thornton; Freshman Gary Jones, Devant Wainright, Brad Tucker, Jeff Moore, and Chuck Wilson. The Heron boys’ team has a multi- tude of raw talent competing in 1983. Brantley tennis players have never real- ly been taught the full fundamentals of tennis so they must rely mostly on raw talent. Plenty of raw talent, that they do have. Much is expected from Brantley’s tennis teams in 1983 and they will be held to it. A promising year ahead—for the 1983 Heron Tennis Teams. Last year’s girls’ singles seed Miss Kim Tucker re- turns for her second year for Brantley. Miss Tucker is a sophomore at Brantley and is the only “returning” player for the Heron girls’ tennis team. With the exception of Miss Tucker all of the girls are Freshman, consisting of: Lori Ann Hinesley. Alethea Horne, Lea King, Jua- nita Sutton, Stephanie Sutton, and Nickie Woodard. This young team has a great deal of talent—yet to be discov- ered. The future of Brantley’s girls ten- nis team rests in these girls hands. top left: Lori Ann warming up as the season begins, top right: Our fearless leader Coach Donald Altman, above: The young and talented Brantley girls; tennis team, bottom: The veteran boys' tennis team.

What a day! The people at Brantley never seem to slow down. They rush from class to class. It's enough to give me one big headache! I just hope I will get used to it. I've already decided on my major for four years—GIRLS! There's bigger variety here than at my old grade school. I love it! I've already fallen in love with a cute little brunette in my homeroom. Well, she's not little, but she's not gigantic either. Tomorrow I'll definitely say Hi when I see her! All my teachers seem to like me. Now if only I can get to like them! But things aren't going to bother me this year— not the guys, not the girls, not the teachers, not the home- work. nothing . . . well, maybe the homework. 160 Closing Closing 161 Perennial Affliction AFFLICTION: Springitis VICTIMS: Occured with varying degree of severity among 98% of all students. SYMPTOMS: Began with glazed eyes (third week.of school). Progressed slowly and steadily towards a gradual deteriora- tion of homework quality until complete absence thereof. Growing inability to do classwork, homework, housework, and yardwork. TREATMENT: Summer Vacation PROGNOSIS: Excellent recovery rate with proper treatment. Most victims complete- ly recovered after summer. Closing Closing 163 Somewhere Down The Road 4 We always knew Inside we wouldn’t be here for a long time, those dreams of ours are shining on distant shores and if they’re calling us away, no one has the right to make us stay. ’Cause Somewhere Down The Road our roads are gonna cross again it doesn’t really matter when; but try to understand we have to go out on our own so we can find our way back home. 164 Closing Closing 165 The day I looked forward to for 12 years has come and gone like a dream. I am now a high school “grad”, but somehow the great feeling I expected leaves something to be desired. Sure, it’s great to sleep in while I hear my little brothers rushing off to the bus stop. But what will I do to- day? Shop, watch soap operas, eat ... ? Dad keeps bugging me about finding a job, but it seems like no one wants summer help”. Come August, I'll be back at school again—college this time. Mom has been dropping hints about what to do with the rest of my life. I guess parents want their kids to turn out to be everything good. I’ve got some work ahead of me. That long coveted diploma that was placed in my trembling hand is no guarantee of an easy, fun- filled, thrilling future. The time has come to say Thanks for the memories” and tackle the real world and its challenges. I know I can do anything if I put my mind to it. Now it’s time to move on. I'll miss the studs”, foxes”, “the couples”, the nobodies , but peo- ple do not stay the same, and my life will not stay 166 Closing Closing 167 ■•rantley (County High §c|,00j Kilninl.,. «rorjia Ctrtifits irti.nl irk f Speed and a - 'Schools into the world of the working ones around us.
