The school year of 78-’79 has brought forth some of Butler’s most promising students. They have been chosen by their fellow peers to take the lead in school responsibilities as officers of the Student Council and the six grades of Butler High School. Robert Cabbagestalk, Student Council President, has strived to improve the conditions of our school and with the help of the grade officers, some progress has been made. Junior class officers were mainly involved in the preparations for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The responsibility of prepar- ing for Graduation fell on the shoulders of our Senior class officers and their advisors. Seventh thru tenth grade officers were preoccupied with various projects during the year. 9 You’ve got that certain style. You have been elected or have earned a place in Butler history. Being Queen for a year has given you a special look. Health, vitality and intelligence are part of your popular personality. That pleasing personality has made you a lot of friends. They in turn made you a Queen by voting for you or buying a ticket from you. The responsibility thus received by you carries certain duties. Those queenly duties have included presentation ceremonies, parades and of course, your happy laughter. The fulfillment of those duties seems to have been carried out with a lot of fun and enjoyment. Congratulations ladies, you’ve earned it! Miss Butler — Caroline Dixon Miss Tiger — Sharon Wyatt Miss Athletic Booster — Terese Addison You have a “winning” smile! Miss Junior High — Leonita McLendon Miss Student Council — Constance Wilson Miss — Angela Brown Miss R.O.T.C. — Sophia Mclver 13 You Represent Our Grades Miss Senior — Grade Moses On October 28, 1978, the Tigers of Butler High School had their annual Homecoming Parade. Each grade from seventh through twelfth selected a young lady to represent its section in the Homecoming Parade. These girls had to maintain an average of at least a “C”. Their attitudes toward others as well as the pursuit of curriculum was taken into consideration. Being selected as a Grade Queen was very exciting. For many of the girls it was a first time experience. In having such an honor these girls learned that being a Grade Queen brought about smiles, but the thought of being selected from several other girls and coming out a “winner” put the frosting on the cake. Miss Junior — Barbara Ketter Miss Sophomore — Lisa Cabbagestalk With Honor Miss Freshman — Millane Coe Miss Seventh Grade — Jacqueline Peterson Miss Subfreshman — Carolyn Bess A Bevy Of Beauties Y K 4 i Miss Homecoming — Debra Edwards Each year the Varsity Football Team selects three young ladies to run for Miss Homecoming. After the selection of the three young ladies the entire student body elects the one they feel will best uphold the honor be- ing conferred upon her. This year’s 1978-79 Homecoming Queen was Debra Edwards. Debra, a representative of the Junior Class, is involved in many school activities. She works very hard in maintaining her goals. Being elected as Miss Homecoming did not change Debra’s attitude toward life, but the honor of being elected Miss Homecoming did bring a joyful smile to her face. 17 Tigers Face Disappointing Season . . . Varsity Football ’78 The Tigers’ 78 Football season began as everyone hoped with a 14-0 victory over the Cardinal’s of Cardinal- Newsman. Our next game was lost 8-0 against Burke High School. It was from this point that the Tigers began to en- counter many problems. The Tigers were 22 men strong and 10 of them w'ere backs. For this reason, practice scrimmages were handicapped. The special 22 men who stayed on the team never gave up. They fought hard from the beginning to the end of the season. Disappointment at the game is exhibited by No. 34 Bert Wilson and No. 77 Larry Green. The 1978-79 “Tigers . Front row: Hex Byrd. Michael Mack, Michael Williams, Larry Bess, Captain Willie Jackson, Stanley Briggs, and Robert Cabbagestalk. Middle row: Alonzo Griffin, Bert Wilson. Levem Robinson, Micheal Floyd, and Jimmy Scarborough. Last row: Fredrick Woods, Jeffery Brockinton, Howard Allen, Victor Venson, Levern Coe, and Larry Green. Offense Lacks Timing . . . Offensively the Tigers were not able to do the things they were capable of doing. The major reason for this may have been the small number of players available for of- fense practice. We were not able to develop the timing that a good offense necessitates. Next year should prove to be a good season for the Tigers. No. 46 Levern Coe finds open territory. Fredrick Woods leads the way for Larry Bess. SCHEDULE Opponent Butler Cardinal Newman 0 — 14 Burke 8 — 0 Furman 25 — 0 Mayo 21 — 0 Timmonsville 16 — 0 Scott’s Branch 20 — 22 Mayewood 12 — 6 Mt.

Tigers’ defense applies pressure to Mayo quarterback. Defense Proves Tough . . Defensively the Tigers were very tough. Only a few teams rushed for more than a 100 yards and the Tigers rarely gave up a touchdown during any game. 21 Tiger Cubs The Tiger Cubs wait impatiently for the arrival of their opponents. A time out is called while Captain Anthony Short heads for the side lines. This year’s J. V. squad was indeed a pleasant surprise. One reason for this surprise was the club’s exciting 4-2-1 season record. This made us second in the Conference. The record was especially good in view of the large number of “rookies” on the team. Even more “action” is planned for next year. Finish Second . . .

Under the coaching of Mrs. Kay McCall the team finished with a 9-3 record and the title of Conference Champions. This year the volleyball team participated in the Upper State A A tournament where they lost 2 matches and won one. The girls had an aggressive and hard working team this year but hope to have a better one next year. Beth Johnson gives volleyball serve with a smile.

The Tiger Cubs had a great year, recording 16 wins and 2 losses. Coach Douglas has stated his hopes for next year’s cham- pionship are high due to the abilities of several rising sophomores. The rising Juniors from the 78-79 team will really be a potential powerhouse for the Varsity Tigers.

Jeffery Brockington, Catcher Expectations of 78-79 Baseball Team Because we have a large number of Seniors and talented new players on this year’s squad, we are expecting great things to happen. This year for the first time in many years we expect to challenge for the conference title. We will be expecting leadership from some of our senior players who have been playing for three years. These players are: Michael Mack, Larry Bess, Herbert Herrington, Charles Moses, Perez Stuckey and Willie Jackson. The newcomers such as Clifford Arthur, Bert Wilson, Levem Robin- son, and others should give us added depth in order to be successful. We’re going to try our best to represent the administration, faculty and student body of Butler High School so that they will be proud of us. 37 Senior player Priscilla Wilson will undoubtedly be a key factor in the success of the team this season. Conference Champions Softball member Barbara McNeil shows good form at bat. The oncoming softball season should be very rewarding to both our returning and in- coming players. The competition will be preparing for us as they know the history of our team for the past two years. We are also preparing for them. We have a potential power force in our team and we plan to use that force to retain our title. “May the force be with 38 Ready To Defend Title The 1979B.H.S. softball team includes: Bottom, Jackie McPhail, Daphney Days, Nora Thomas: Standing, Cindy Jackson.

Good Year After one year at B.H.S. the sub-freshmen have become acquainted with the customs, traditions and activities of the school, and have begun to take an active role in student life at Butler High. The sub-freshmen chose class officers to help guide them through the year. Those people chosen to serve were: President — Chris McPhail; Vice- President — Gloria Edwards; Secretary — Allison George; Treasurer — Cornell Murray. They have shown enthusiastic support for their school and teams at assemblies, games, pep rallies, and during spirit week. The class of “83” is looking to their future at B.H.S. They hope to acquire a good education while enjoying all the customs, traditions, and activities that make Butler High School.
