Mr. Borders also commented “‘you may purchase a sticker and register your car in with Mr. Hutchison the in- structor of drivers education. Mr. Hutchison quotes ‘’the stickers go up every year they were 60 cents a piece this year. We make 30 to 40 cents on each sticker sold to a student.’’ He also commented “‘the money goes to pay for repairs in the parking lot, trash cans, chains, poles, etc.” The reason for students who drive to buy this sticker is that it is a system for the school so that they can tell if there is a strange car on campus. Another reason if someone saw one of the students doing wheelies they just look at the sticker for a number and find out who this is and report it to the school and the school handles it from there. This year stickers are found on the windshield, blue football shape with the school mascot on it. As far as next year goes, the same design only one change it will stick on your bumper in- stead of the windshield. There seems to be no problem of less people driving. We have more stu- dents driving everyday at least one to two new students drive. The gas seems to be no problem. Students drive smaller compact cars to school now because of the inflated gas prices. Cars such as Celicas, Volk- wagon Rabbits, and Honda CVCC’s use the unleaded gasoline that cost about $1.06 cents per gallon. Sr. Roxanne Sain comments “‘l got my Chevrolet Citation, which is a brand new model for the 80’s, right after Thanksgiving and in 10 wks. unleaded gas went from 95 cents per gallon to $1.06 per gallon.’’ How’s that for infla- tion!! 160 Sophomores

What's That Thing? “Monument? What are you talking about?” “Oh! Is that what that thing is?” “Well | haven’t paid much atten- tion to it.” These are a few of the comments made by students here at Burns when they were asked what they thought of our new monument. In case you didn’t know about it ei- ther, there is now a monument at the corner of the building in front of the bus parking lot. This monument is in honor of William David Burns (1868- 1937), the founder of Piedmont High School. “Mr. Burns was a highly re- spected man and everyone loved him very much,” stated Annie Warlick a member of the Piedmont Alumni As- sociation. He was an educator, philos- opher, and humanitarian, who ran a strict boarding school at Piedmont from 1900-1930. However, he mixed in well with students since he taught We Da ‘BURNS A wee: Si a. ae ‘ ‘lees! geome ‘ PIEDMONT, AHIGH' SCHOOL. classes such as history and the Bible as well as running the school. Also Mac Lancaster commented that Mr. Burns had a great deal to do with the growth and development of both the school and the community. Members of the Piedmont Alumni Association, the former students of Mr. Burns bought and paid for the monu- ment, then placed it at Piedmont so all would know of the man they loved so much. However, when the school was closed down, the Association asked if we would let it be placed here, where people could see it. Mr. Burns was a dedicated man who Mrs. Warlick quoted as saying, ‘You went to school to prepare, and to learn the principles of life and if you've got an education it is something no one can take away from you.” Belinda Elmore Linda Elmore Darlene Foster Marty Gee Bobby Gillespie John Goforth Tim Green Wanda Grigg Gary Hamrick Lowell Hart Lisa Hastings Tami Hastings Vincent Haynes Gary Head Tina Heafner Robin Heavner Keith Hendrick Kim Hendrick Sophomores 159
