A Year Like Every Other Year Becomes A One A year just like all other years. The begin- ning characterized by the traditional frenzy of greeting old friends, discovering if you got your favorite teacher, paying book rentals, and all those last minute class changes went smoother than in past years. As the panorama of the year’s events began to unfold, it became quickly apparent this year would definitely be different. The crack of the football field’s light poles was the first major sound that foreshadowed the events. During the summer it became ap- parent that it would not be safe to hold football games at E.B. White Stadium as long as the poles remained. With the removal of the poles, came Saturday football to the high school cir- cuit. Sports championships came our way, but not from the accustomed sources. The champi- onship teams of the past in football and basket- ball were not to be for this year. In their stead, were a state wrestling champion and a district baseball championship. John Hale finished the year as number one in the heavyweight division of the state wrestling championship. In addi- tion, Coach Ray Spinella’s baseball team fin- ished their season tied with Honaker for the number one Hogoheegee position, but a play- off game sent Honaker to the Region C tourna- ment. Academics in general seemed to be this year’s forte. With each contest; Math, Science, Business; came loads of praise for the home- team. Honors rolled in from all directions. But more than all the praise and honors that came from contests of all sorts, a more com- monplace, little mentioned occurrence became the character and the backbone of the school. Friendships blossomed, deepened, and sur- vived minor disagreements. With these, love and friendliness became the byword. The year came and went like all other years, but in our lives and our hearts, there was the enrichment and maturity of having lived an- other year, dealt with problems together, and triumphed over disagreements and misunder- standings. The year, the experiences, and the people truly proved to be One Of A Kind. i — It never ends ... Mrs. Dolly Wallace looks over that endless mound of papers. Smoke, Smoke, Smoke that cigarette ...

Exhibiting Individual Differences Portrays the One of a Kind in Each Person School had only been out one month for summer vacation, and yet he was con- stantly reminded that it would soon start back. He cringed everytime he heard those TV commercials about back to school sales. “Why”, he wondered, did they have to start reminding him over a month before school started. His mother had already begun talking about buying new school clothes. He didn’t care about new clothes in the first of July. He was satisfied with his faded Le- vis, and worn out Nike’s. He had just got a break after nine months of school, but couldn’t enjoy it because of the constant reminder that it would soon start back. Soon he realized that he must face the fact that school would soon start. He would be a Junior this year. He began thinking about prom time, and that blonde he had had his eye on for the past year. Maybe by the time the prom took place, he would have enough courage to ask her to go with him. Suddenly he remembered his class ring. “Boy, when I get that, I’ll really feel like a Junior.’ A back to school T.V. com- mercial brought him out of his deep thoughts. But, for the first time since the commercials had started, it didn’t annoy him. “Maybe those stupid commercials aren't so stupid,” he thought. Solidarity... Autographed T-shirts are evidence of the closeness of the class of 1982. Just clowning around ... Stephen Phillips and Kevin Domby pause for a picture during wrestling practice.
