‘live the lifi ng Memory It has gone before me, I will never see it again. It was yesterday, and it was the end Today will become yesterday and tomorrow will become today, jjDut there’s no reaching back for yesterday. So whatever you’ve done today Make sure you are ready for it tomorrow, Because you can only have memories some you may have to borrow. There’s nothing we can do, nor really say,

D’s Go Beyond District Drama The Brunswick Players had a spec¬ tacular showing during the ’82 season. Led by Mrs. Ruby Short, this company of multi-talented students danced off with an excellent showing in the State Dramatic Competition. We were all fortunate to have seen this spectacular production during an assembly as the Players polished up the finishing touches of their lines and dance steps. Seldom had we seen such preciseness and poise presented at the same event. We knew from the beginning that this presentation would turn heads. Mrs. Ruby Short proudly displayed the 1st place Trophy that the Brunswick Players captured with their spectacular performance. Taking a first place in District Competition were Doug Lipton, Larry Parrish, Thomas Warring¬ ton, and Neil McClenny with their coach, Mr. Nichols. Debate The ’82 Debate Team left the compe¬ tition speechless at the District meet by talking their way into a first place award. To watch this team waiting for their opposition to make a mistake in logic or argument was like watching a predator stalk its victum. And when the team’s rebuttal came, there would not be any question as to which team was victorious. Not only did Debate take the District but they also repre¬ sented themselves and the school well at the Regional level with the affirma¬ tive team taking a fourth place. 10 The Brunswick Players: (seated, 1 to r) Ethel Rainey, Angela Callis and Valerie Bruce; (standing, 1 to r) Sean Tatum, George Callis, Russell Coleman, Alease Green, Andre’ Cooper, Matilda Brodnax, Coleman Adams, Durrell Thomas, Waddell Lucas, Maureen Hennigan, Wendell Simmons and Rueben Goldsberry.

An Enchanted Evening Somewhere between time past and time future a magical, mythical, fanta¬ sy realm took shape and developed in the short space of five days. From a cold, hard, cinderblock wall with stark windows emerged the Land of Uni¬ corns and Castles. This glorious night was one of the most memorable of all nights for students. Friday dawned with sunshine and excitement among the students as ev¬ eryone realized this was Prom Day. Plans and hopes that had been dreamed of for months now became re¬ ality. The first order of the day for many of those who were to attend the prom was to get an early dismissal. By 8:20, a long line had appeared in the office, each praying not to be rejected. There were things to do today! As soon as their early dismissals were approved, cars streamed from the parking lot, carring students who would in a few hours undergo a great metamorphosis, from jeans to tuxes, from tee-shirts to formal gowns, from average to extrodinaire! Months before, the guys had gone to great lengths to find the tux that would be perfect for this night. No less diligently, the young ladies had pur¬ chased or designed their own gowns. From the riot of color found in the hall¬ ways earlier that day, came couples whose attire were not only colorful but also complimented each other. The entrance to the Prom gave some hint to what was soon to be seen, but the visual impact of the decorations was powerful. The castle in the center of the dance floor immediately grabbed everyone’s attention. Shades of blue predominated and were shot through with streaks of silver as uni¬ corns danced around the edges of this mythical land and stars and clouds glimmered overhead. Gloria Newell and Anthony Walker take this opportunity to discuss their Prom plans. For four hours everyone drifted through this special occasion, dancing to the tunes of Disco Pat, partaking of the refreshments, taking pictures of friends, having pictures taken of them¬ selves, and enjoying feelings that would never again be exactly like this. The Prom, it seemed, ended much too soon. As the end approached and everyone began to depart in their shinning cars that had been waxed only hours be¬ fore, most reflected on the feelings of friendship and pride they had felt. And even though the dream that had been anticipated for several months was coming to an end, the evening was still young as many couples went in search of other parties to finish out the night. Taking a breather after a 12 inch disco single, Shirley Adams, Jimmy Kelly, Mike Gibson and Christin Rawlings wonder how the others have the energy to continue. Deborah Bishop, Rusty McCombs, Roberta Wilson and Wayne Poythress seem able to do nothing but relax as the evening comes to a close. Realizing that even an enchanted evening must come to an end, Charles Moone and Diane Jackson display a contented smile as Barbara Harrison and Haywood Taylor watch the photographer. Arthur Winfield is intrigued with dancers around the castle.
