Opening1 1 Tradition carried on As the school year opened, feelings were present that made everyone know that this year would be different from the rest. Because of the ,. , . . indecision concerning the proposed consolidation with Stonewall Jackson, ' ' ' H both students and faculty felt a need to make the 1983-84 school term - special. Innumerable Parent Advisory .e Council and Board of Education :9: meetings focused on the problem H of .. ' what to do with Charleston High. It was decided that the two student bodies would merge into the CH8 building in the fall of l84ea$tCapita1 High School. Then the controversy concerning the decision resurfaced. Letter after letter to the editors in the daily newspapers addressed the con- WITH A KICK' Mike Schamr gets in some solidation issue. The editorials and practice with the rest of the team at Laidley Field. continued press coverage prompted the school board to waver on its decision. Across town, the Stonewall Parent Advisory Council independently held meetings to form their arguments against the consolidation. xx'lfl'ieywiwanted to move Capital High to their building. The reaSons they stated for putting i :t the student bodies together at SJHS were that the west side school had a newer building, it could accomodate a larger number of students, and consolidation there would cost less than constructing a combined facility. At that time, it seemed as if the Stonewall PAC had taken over the decision making, while CHS parents remained quiet. MARCHING DOWN CAPITOL STREET.

The decision disturbed Charlestonians so much that they rallied behind John Clendenen in an effort to show their support for him. Banners were made and hung throughout the building pfoclaiming the studentsi love for their prin- cipal. Teachers participated by sporting I Love John badges. The culmination of the spirited week was a Friday designated John Clendenen Day. He received flewers 7 i and a cake and was surpgised by an 'h i kazoo-playing delivery woman who l resented him with a cluster of ,, u balloons. FOLLOWING A TOUCHDOWN.

New courses were added to the choices of study. Computers were bought so that students would be exposed to modern technology. A science seminar class was provided to give those who were scientifically inclined more specific study time. A sign language class was also offered. As a special pilot program for the county, Charleston High was chosen to house a 12th grade Honors English course which investigated the humanities approach to teaching. 4 t Opening Still Roaring ON A RUN FOR THE BASKET.

It had been thought that all of these customs would end with the coming of Capital High, but on October 24, 1983, the school board decided to postpone the consolidation Charleston High, with its principa1,spirit, and traditions, would continue as the oldest school in the KanaWha Valley and let everyone know that the Mountain Lions were still roaring.

During the nine months of school, the most common pattern of life for a student was homework on week nights and cruising, watching or playing sports, partying, and seeing movies and concerts on weekends. A greater number of students had jobs than in previous years Charlestonians involved 1n CO- OP or DECA were placed 1n jobs by those organizations. Fast food restaurants y, such as Burger King and Hardees were popular places to work, and the new mallsQn the city provided many more employment opportunities. The ages of 16 and 18 were usually reached during high school and brought a new dimension to students' lives. At 16 a drivers license could be obtained, and at 18 the status of being a legal adult was reached. Extracurricular activities took up much time for many. Footballs games were a common event to attend or participate in on Friday 1 .. nights.

Activities such as Spirit Week, when students dressed in togas, fifties style clothes and various other attire on designated days, broke the monotony of the school day. To the appreciation of many, assemblies such as Junior Achievement and Yearbook Sales also interrupted the routme 0Q classes ,,,,,, Although so much time was devoted to outside activities, students lives revolved around academics. If there was to be a test in a class, entertainment was usually put aside for stud ing.

The traditional high step was touched up with some precision corps style marching. As the band stood at ease, it waited for Drum Major Jon Tate and Assistant Drum Major Brian Tweelts calls to atten- tion. Then when they began their drill, the crowd was presented with the song El Tigre. One parent said it was the biggest brass sound they had heard from Charleston High in years.

IHStudent Life When you're hot . . . . you're hot Summer came and brought with it a heat wave. Each day seemed hotter than the day before, and to beat the heat most students headed for the nearest pool to cool off and take in some rays. Mike White was seen quite often at Coonskin pool, and Paula McLane went to Elk- land. Ty Hall could be found tthanging outh at Lazyboy in Kanawha City. Some had summer jobs to earn extra money to help pay for new clothes and car insurance. They worked as busboys, waitresses, in concession stands, or as Life Guards. Lifeguarding seemed to be an exciting way to get a tan, but that idea quickly melted with the heat. Brian Tweel who lifeguarded at the Kanawha City pool said, tiLifeguarding was a boring job unless there was a crowd? Lots of students headed off to camp. Sherry Lytle worked at Bluestone Conference Center in Hinton and Jennifer Green worked at Camp Yahoo in Boone AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHARLESTON.

August rolled around and football and band practice began; the weather became practically unbearable. Band practice was four hours a day, and football players practiced eight hours daily. Coach Roger J efferson said, On some days the field reached 107 degrees because the asphalt under the astroturf held in the heat. Then another sheet was torn off the calendar, and September first glared out from the page. School began, excitement filled the halls and spirit was high, but unfortunately so were tempera- tures. Students sweated through classes in record breaking heat that lasted until September 21 when temperatures plunged into the low 50s. Somehow all the misery and complaining of the scorching heat was forgotten, and by the first snowfall on November 18, most students couldnit wait for the next summer to begin.

Give me a break Throughout the school days, students had free time in which to catch a breather from school work. A few preferred to grab something to eat in the DECA store, while others preferred to visit with friends, finish homework, or study for tests. Sometimes free time was used by a few such as Missy Goff or Brad Bailey to catch up on lost sleep. In the morning before school or during break many could be found walking the halls, headed for classes, in the DECA room, at the M 85 M Video Arcade or just tthanging out. At the beginning of lunch, however, the halls were emptied as most set off for Ginds, Burger wsmdent Life King, Tonyts Market, or the cafeteria, but a few lingered around to take make-up tests, go to club meetings, or make a phone call. In her spare time, Ellen Buchko liked to get away from her hectic schedule by getting a coke or by going to Ginots or Burger King to visit with her friends. She said, I really have no free time, but when I do, I usually have to spend it doing homework. Students had full seven period schedules with no study halls and only a 10 minute break. Lunch was 30 minutes, and those who went out had to hurry back. They had to snatch free time when ever possible.

Several students such as Inky Vance, Terri Poling, and Heather Bland had jobs at the mall. Along with many other school bands in the state, the Mt.

Unique to this mall, however, was the third floor Picnic Place where 11 fast food stores sold their fare. Along with the stores and restaurants there was a waterfall that fell three stories. Plants, trees and skylights also added to the atmosphere of the Charleston Town Center. Student Lifew 19 The some old spirit The football game played against cross-town rival Ston- ewall Jackson has in many ways been a tradition carried on for years. As always, the week before the game was designated as spirit week. In order to show support for the team, students dressed up in unusual costumes on certain days. On Monday many displayed hats and ties in an effort to get spirit flowing. The rest of the week was filled with togas, punk rockers, slaves, and beebop- persii from the 50is. Friday was blue and gold day and also the day of the game. A pep assembly was held in which students whistled, cheered and support for roared their the 2WStudent Life Lions. One cheerleader said, At the game there seemed to be an unrestrained sense of spirit and enthusiasm. During the pre-game show, senior band members were in- troduced to the spectators and escorted onto the field by their parents. During half time, the winner of the spirit chain was an- nounced. Though they collected money for a week, the cheer- leaders lost the competition by just under $100. After a performance from the band and majorettes, Laura Burgess was named Miss Mt. Lion and Bonnie Hightower and Sherry Smith were an- nounced as runners-up. AT THE FRONT OF THE STANDS.

Student Life t 21 tHigh' spirited Homecoming was not a time for CHS alumni to Hcome home any more, but the traditional festivity still took place. The week of activities was altered from a Ucoming homen to a celebration and a showing of school pride. Several of the events which usually took place during the week such as the Best Male Legs Contest, the Mum sale and the walk through town were not conducted. Many other events, however, did take place. The week was started off with hat and glasses day which had much participation. Tuesday was for twins, and some students dressed similarly to a partner. On Wednesday, girls wore Hush Buttons and were not allowed to speak to boys or they would lose their button to them. J. B. Mayhew managed to capture the most buttons by causing 30 girls to talk to him. Beach Day brought shorts, sandals and Hawaiian shirts. Friday was set aside for students to wear the blue and gold school colors. Also on Friday, the halls were decorated with streamers and TAKING A BREAK from dancing, Debbie Adams watches people move to the music while others enjoy conversa- tion. 22 xStudent Life posters.

Lori Humphreys and Tonya Faucett were senior attendants, while Tracy Dorsey was junior attendant and Antoinette .Coleman was the sophomore attendant. Following a half-time show by the band, which featured a special drum performance by Jef f Wheeler and Dewey Kuhns, the football team went on to defeat DuPont 3-2. The week ended with the dance held Saturday night at the University of Charleston from 9:00 pm to 12:00 pm.

This year, however, there was no big fad like the miniskirts and bellbot- toms of the 60s and 70's. It was more a combination of trends from the past, sort of an ttanything goes? There were certain obvious styles though, such as the basic, sporty, comfortable look. To achieve this, one wore a rugby or Ocean Pacific shirt, a pair of checkered Vans or Tretorn tennis shoes, and a pair of faded jeans or sweats. One could also fashion hiswher dress after the Ivy League colleges such as Yale and Harvard, to be considered a ttprep? Preps were easy to recognize. They wore either an oxford or Polo Shirt, and a pair of penny Loafers or dockside shoes. 24dStudent Life WEARING A BLAZER and suede ankle boots, Sheila Merritt listens to Jon Tate and Missy Michael before second period. . :5 Although it wasntt taken to extremes, going punk was also a thing to do. A simple spiked haircut, a torn sweatshirt, or a leather jacket was part of the basic punkerts wardrobe. Many girls were like still into the Valley Girl look. They displayed miniskirts, colored hose, and flat shoes. Other common modes of dress for males included wearing parachute pants, denim jackets, and earrings in one ear. Students usually accepted just about any style one chose to wear. The most popular thing to do was to combine the fads together and come up with an individual look. IN AN ARGYLE SWEATER.

Student Council spon- sored a second floor display window to honor seniors who were thought to deserve recogni- tion. The distinction of being a Student of the Week was that not every senior could be one. All members of the National Honor Society were automatically nominated. but not every student who had noteable quali- ties was in Honor Society, therefore, teachers also nominat- ed others that they felt deserved credit for leadership or athletic abilities.

Most of them had participated in school activities such as band, Student Council, Charleston- ian. sports, and clubs. Autobiographical displays including pictures of their childhoods and listings of their accomplishments were put up in a display window. This exhibit case provided everyone a chance to acknowledge the capabilities of these outstand- ing seniors. It also gave those seniors a chance to give themselves a pat on the back for all the hard work and perseverance that they put into their work throughout the year. J. R DURING WRESTLING PRACTICE.

Classroom bozoor placement. Therefore, physical Many activities and clubs required money for equipment and events that just wasdt in the schooYs budget. Therefore, fundraisers for activities in the school were very important. To raise the needed money, students and teachers thought of many things to sell. For the Prom budget each junior home- room needed to raise $40, and to do so they held bake sales. There usually was at least one bake sale a week at lunch. Those who didnit want to bake food for the sales were allowed to bring in a set amount of money depending on how many people were in the homeroom. Juniors and seniors who were on the prom committee sold Christmas candles to help pay for the prom. In the gyms much of the apparatus was in need of re- education classes sold wall calendars to raise money for new equipment, such as basketballs and volleyballs. The French exchange trip had the French Club bringing Gummy Bears and Twins to market strait from Europe. To make money for their various activities, the Bunny Club ped- dled MdaMs Sign Language classes and Sandi Myerst speech class tried to raise $60 for a special adapter which would connect a camera with a video recorder, This would enable the Sign Language classes to tape them- selves signing. Selling helium balloons at football games was one means to raise money for music and props for the choir.

SHELTER, Regina Herricks and Angie Allen get a look at the boilers. Behind closed doors A few rooms in the school were practically off-limits to students. These areas held a certain intrigue. There was always the mystery of the teachers' lounges. What was so special about these rooms that meant students were not allowed to enter them? Teachers usually went in the lounges to get away from students and to relax. There were couches, chairs, and tables in each one, and a couple had Coke machines. To the girls, the boys, bath- rooms and locker rooms held a special interest. What did the guys locker room look like? The boys knew what the girls locker room looked like because they went down to watch films for P. E. class. Girls also wanted to know if the guys wrote on the walls the way the girls did. Yearbook staff members investigated and dis- covered that the boys locker rooms were very much like the 30wStudent Life girls, but the guys had much better showers. As for the graffiti, there was none visible. Then there was. the bomb shelter, left over from the fifties. What did a bomb shelter look like? What was in it? The bomb shelter looks like a large base- ment, and it has about four boilers and water that has been there almost forty years. On the fourth floor is a broadcasting room that most students dontt even know about. As a matter of fact, how many even knew there was a fourth floor? Several years ago, the school had its own closed circuit television station and a radio station - WMTL. Other areas were off limits to students, but there was usually someone scheming to try to get into them. IN THE DARKROOM. Connie Gilkeson checks contact sheets for pictures that need reprinted.

On Saturday afternoons a few girlfriends could be seen together on a shopping spree downtown or just having lunch. Sundays were spent going to church and finishing last-minute homework assignments. V Going to lunch during the weekdays was also very much a part of going out. Students made dates with each other during classes to meet at Grazianos, 0! a :7ng the Tow , Burger King, or in the cafeteria, to eat lunch together and to discuss their plans for after school.

They also felt the need to have perfect behavior. Others, who were not llPKlsll but were active in church, participated in a wide range of activities. Although basketball and choir were the most popular, students also played volleyball, taught Sunday School, and babysat in their church nurseries. Betsy Gardener was very active in Blnai Jacob and had the experience of traveling to Israel over the summer. Her synogogue helped fund the trip by giving her a $750 scholarship for completing eight years of Sunday School and four years of Hebrew School. She said, I hope to return to Israel to visit my friends and fellow Jews in the near future? AT BREAK, Tim Spradling uses his time to prepare a lesson for the Sunday School class he teaches.

Most enjoyed social dancing, but at least five girls were also interest- ed in learning tap, ballet, jazz, and modern dance. Heather Bland who took jazz and ballet from Andre Van Damme said. weI enjoy dancing 3 lot; it does interfere with things sometimes and I get frustrated, but, I love doing itT Heather took dancing lessons for 13 years. and participated in many recitals and competitions. Studying ballet, jazz, and tap dancing gave Antionette Coleman an emotional outlet, fever and a way to release her tensions. Antionette studied dance for 11 years. Because of school activities, she had to temporarily quit her formal dance training, but hoped to return to her former school, The McLain School of Theatrical Dance. Angie Brown, Tracy Philips, and Kelly Davila all took dancing from Michael Harris New Steps and Move- ments. Tracy studied modern dance. She had been dancing for two to three years.

These methods have capitulated to the point where being a white American male is the least advantageous position in American society today. The process starts with the abolishment of any material or medium which promotes white heritage, puts women on a level below that of a man, or is of questionable racism. All textbooks must denounce slavery, promote the importance of Black History. and emphasize the achievements of Hispanics and all other minorities. Next. any movies or television shows flirting in the danger zone must be immediately taken off the air, and new shows must be changed or upgraded to reflect the new ideas. Next, the growing tide spreads over society and the people themselves. dictating methods of employment and the treatment of individuals. Women must be treated as favorably as men, and paid just as much. regardless of any other factors. In Detroit and many other cities, each time that a white police officer is promoted, a black one must be promoted, whether one is qualified or not. American Telephone and Telegraph has established a new policy in which they now hire fifty-one percent women and minorities, stating it as if it is something to be proud of. Colleges and universities have what they call racial quotas, in which they must accept a certain number of minority students. paying no heed to non-minorities who are better qualified. In a town in Louisiana. local officials are forcing two apartment complexes, 44 wMagazine identical and equal in every way only that one is all-black and one is all-white to integrate, so as to eliminate any prejudice or growing racism. These are just a few of the many, many instances in which reverse discrimination plays a role in today. Imagine being forced to move, or to be fully qualified for one of these positions but to be turned down simply because you are a white male. Yet. this is how far reverse discrimination has progressed in the present. Worst of all are these honorable organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National Organization of Women, which hide behind the golden aura of being L promoters of peace to all mankind land womenl. These are the scare groups which threatened to boycott anything or refuse to endorse anyone when any of the aforementioned policies may have been violated. They are the ones responsible for all these racial quotas and affirmative action doctrines. These injustices make terror groups such as the Ku Klux Klan look like the good guys. ,L Where all of this will eventually lead, I do not know. I do know that all of this should be stopped immediately, however. Affirmative action was a good idea, but a whole generation of post-Civil Rights Americans have grown up, and there is no need to punish the people of today for injustices which may have occurred in the past. Racial quotas and forced housing and busing are not only unfair but unnecessary. These acts have served only to heighten racial anxieties. Equal rights between men and women are acceptable, but whatever happened to a man being a man and the virtues of womanhood? I hope that others share these ideas, but I will never know. because opinions such as this were junked along with all other prejudices and male-Chauvinist ideas of the past. - by senior- Marcus Hassen Copirol punishment Capital punishment is now considered just in many states. These states have carried out this punishment on many convicted persons, but the murders don't stop and never will. All crime, including mutder will always be in society. From the moment people were given the choice of right and wrong, ultimately several chose the wrong. The wrong doers, however horrible their crimes, may not be held completely responsible for their actions. From the moment a child is born his environment begins to have an effect. A poor environment develops apoor child, and eventually a detrimental adult. The quantity of violence a child observes through the media or in his background is bound to grow more and more acceptable to him. The Bible says that one man should not take maliciously the life of another man. The execution of criminals is wrong and the laws seem to contradict themselves. Executions are legal in some states and many argue that its the same as murder. Society must go to the heart of the matter, not,dwell on simple, temporary solutions, asuch as capital punishment. The home is the beginning and society must take responsibility for the less fortunate. Children must be rid of the temptation to steal that first bit of food because they're hungry. Maybe then, they wouldn't go on to commit more serious crimesl Crime will never be completely gone, but it would be substantially reduced.

There was also another student who had exceptional study habits but had a learning disability in which he seemed to reverse letters when he read. Then when he wrote papers, he wrote what he had incorrectly read. What about these students. such as the ones just mentioned, who try and want so very badly to learn, but for reasons beyond their control simply can not comprehend beyond certain levels? Why deprive them of the one thing which they have the ability to excel in, even if it may only be bouncing a basketball or throwing a football? The intellectual levels of students have dropped and we need to find a way to help our ever so quickly descending society, but again the question is asked: Is the 2.0 grading scale the answer? Unfortunately not. But maybe we could start by recognizing problems such as the ones just written about, and also. it wouldn't hurt if teachers had a little less brains and a little more heart. - bysenior Darlene Maselli Raising the drinRing oge Is there a certain age when an adolescent suddenly becomes mature enough to drink?

MORTON - by senior , LauraiMorton The great melting pot The United States is often called The Great Melting Pot, meaning people of all colors and creeds are accepted. I think then, that Charleston High can also be called ' Fhe Great Melting Pot. At Charleston High there are different kinds of people. People donit care if you have an alligator on your shirt. Here you can just be yourself WARNER and always know you'll be accepted. I'nusome high schools you have to be a certain way and have certain friends or you re nobody. At Charleston High you can just be you and be somebody. That is why I like Charleston High and I never want to change schools. The Great Melting Potii will always be this way because the people are all different and learn how to accept each other.

'83 --'84 In rh The year of 1984 was a time marred by disasters and growing tension between the two superpowers. In September in one of the most horrendous displays of callousness in recent memory, the Soviet Union shot down an unarmed Korean Air Liner. Two hundred sixty-nine people perished including Laurence MacDonald. a congressman from Georgia. Not only were the Russians unrepentant. they chastised the United States for supposedly ordering the plane to fly over the Soviet Union on a spy mission. These claims were found to be unsubstantiated. Though there was a growing public sentiment towards some form of arms control, subsequent talks broke down in all three major forums. In the U.S. - USSR Strategic Arms Reduction Talks tStartI Moscow refused to set a future date to continue the discussions. In a similar situation at the Mutual Balanced Force Reduction IMBFRI talks between NATO and the Warsaw Pact Motions, the Warsaw Pact Motions did not accept the proposed January date for the resumption on the talks. Finally. at the Intermediate Nuclear Forces ONFl talks in Geneva, Switzerland, the Soviet Union walked out amid much threatening fanfare by Yuri Andropov. Andropov passed away in February and his position was assumed by Konstantin Chernenko. This year also marked growing United States military expansion. Over 6,000 Marines invaded the Caribbean island of Grenada and toppled its chaotic Marxist regime. Hundreds of American students were rescued although it was never definitely determined what they were rescued from. There was speculation that the true reason for the invasion was to halt construction of Grenadals new airport which was being built with Cuban help and Soviet funds. United States military advisors in the Central American country of El Salvador generated uneasiness among Congress that another Vietnam situation was developing. Perhaps the yearls greatest disaster was the bombing of the Eighth Marine Battallion headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon. Over 230 American soldiers were killed and more than 80 were wounded.

T They're really cooking Every day of the school year, the cooks were in their kitchen. They arrived at 6:30 a.m., left at 2:30 p.m., and the time in between was spent cooking for schools all over Charleston. Not only cooking for CHS, they also served students at Edgewood Acres, Cabell Alternate Learning Center, Fort Hill Elementary, and the expectant mothers at Garnet Career Center. Although Marie Orndorff diant cook the food, she played a key role in the school lunch program. She collected all the money, issued all lunch tickets, and prepared 46IMagazine the reports that went to the Department of Food Services of the Kanawha County Board of Education. Head cook Mary Jelsomine , Betty White. Estel Perry, Charlotte Snodgrass, Helen Scott, and Charlotte Woods prepared food for large numbers of students so they cooked in mass quantities. Approximately 4,000 individual packages of ketchup were used each month as well as 20 to 22 cases of pre-cut salad in one month. Getting most of their menus from the National Food Services Association, the cooks repeated the cycle of meals approximately every nine days. Serving tray, bag, and salad lunches every day, the cooks tried to fill the appetites of all the students. One student said, It only costs eighty-five cents to eat in the lunchroom and the . cooks are a lot nicer than some of the people at the local restaurantslll AFTER CLEANING OFF THE TABLES in the lunchroom. the cooks wash the many trays used in preparing the meals.

Mrs. Blankenship, a graduate of the American Institute of Maintenance, said, however, that it wasnt the fault of the custodians that the building had fallen into such a state of disrepair. HWhen I came here, they just weren't properly trained, and they didn't have modern equipment. After three years and three truckloads of equipment and supplies, the custodians have scrubbed. polished, and waxed CHS into the structure it is today. It took 10 months to clean the floors. but the time consuming process of transforming the entire building was completed, and CH8 became one of the cleanest schools in the county. At a Class of 1958 reunion, members toured the building, constantly commenting on its mint condition. t MOVING FROM THE HALLS TO THE KITCHEN. Gilbert James empties the garbage after lunch. Although Mrs. Blankenship and Gilbert James were the only custodians seen by students during the day, a night time staff came on duty at 3 pm. Larry Quigley was in charge of the five member staff, and together they prepared the building for the following day of school. During the day and night, the custodians worked to provide a clean environment for the students.

A ballot was provided and students indicated their first choices in each of 13 categories. With the growing popularity of Music Television and shows such as Night Tracks and Friday Night Videos, a new category was added to the poll - song video. Students chose Billy JoePs tiUptown Girlii to be the winner. Jump by VanHalen won as the best song and Magnum P.I. starring Tom Selleck was the winner for the best television show. Olivia Newton-John, Eddie Murphy, Porsche, Burger King, and Journey also finished in first place. The most popular movie was Risky Business. Many students could be found at the Midnight Movies every Saturday night to watch this movie about a high school boy whose parents go out of town and leave him in charge of the house for the weekend. With the opening of the Town Center Mall, a new, video arcade came to Charleston, Ballyis A11adin1s Castle. There as well as M 85 Mis Video Center was a place for students to play the popular game of Centipede. The purpose of conducting this poll was to compile a historical. record of teenagers, favorite things during 1983-84 and remind students of their years at the High.

SHClubs CLUBS lubs provided an aspect of school life that broke the routine of classes. Not everyone had athletic abilities, and with only academics, school would have been considered by many to be very boring. Some people joined clubs because of the parties which were held or because their friends were in the organization. Others saw becoming a member as a chance to have their photograph in the yearbOok more often or thought it would look good on college applications. Unless they were genuinely interested in the activity, they usually didnlt remain a club member for long, especially when it came down to doing the required work and attending the meetings. Being in an active club often meant hours of participation, prac- tice or work. Band, chorus and yearbook were classes, but members also had to spend after school hours on the organizations. DECA was another club that was part of the class schedule. Even though some people did not like giving up their noon break, this time, as well as after school, was an opportune time to call meetings for extra-curricular clubs.

These activities, such as parties, dances and trips, created expenses, and students had to raise the money in order to cover costs. Sales were the main source of income, and clubs financed their activities by pedaling such goods as candy, calendars, buttons, fruit and baked goods. Those students who joined clubs for reasons other than interest most often didnit go to the trouble of helping to raise money and thus quit. For those who stayed, the clubs provided a chance for students to get together with people who had the same interests and become more involved in the school. Still Roaring CluberS Book costs time, effort Hf, 'R People don't realize how much time and effort is put into making the yearbook, stated Jennifer Green, co-editor. Welve worked after school and on weekends since the beginning of the year. Being on the yearbook staff took time, but it paid off when the Charlestonian received awards from the United High School Press Association. Deadlines kept everyone busy but as Karen Miller. senior section and clubs co-editor said, uItls hard work meeting dead- lines but once I did I felt a strong sense of accomplishment. Most of the staff attended yearbook camp during the sum- mer at either Ball State or Ohio University. Though everyone was kept busy, the yearbook staff had some advantages. They received free T-shirts from the Coca-Cola Bottling Co., got to be the first students to see the finished yearbook, and they were able to see all of the pictures before they went to the publisher. Being on the yearbook staff was also a beneficial experience to list on job resumes. To receive an A in yearbook class, each staff member had to sell at least $100 worth of ads in the first nine weeks. Adver- tisements started at $30 and ranged as high as $100 for a full page. If enough ads couldrft be sold, patrons were also counted in the sales campaign at $10 each. The person who sold the most ads received a free yearbook and this years recipient was Kim Oldham who sold a total $265. Another crucial part of the yearbook was the artwork. Since artwork was a contest category, the artists worked hard for those finishing touches. Todd TO EXPLAIN THE BASICS 0F LAYOUTS.

Lion Marching Band has been recognized for certain stylistic elements; the Ohio State Run- On, girls uniforms, trumpet fanfare and the traditional high step are some. Many bands nation-wide have changed to the corps style type of marching. To compete in the Majorette Festival, Band Direc- tor Robert Leurant and his wife Harriet, devised a show that combined the traditional marching with a bit of corps style. Their distinctive appear- ance was altered by adding an GOING TO AN AWAY GAME. Mor- gan Mills pauses before loading his drum on the bus. occasional glide step and flags for the majorettes.

During the concert season, the band prepared for the All-County ratings. In May the Annual Spring Concert was presented with local elementary schools. Some joined the band out of their love for music; some because it was the first step to becoming a majorette, drum major or twirler, while still others were attracted because of the traveling opportunities. Grin and bear it In front of the band, the majorettes danced, twirled. shook and smiled, but behind the scenes was work. Each routine was only a part of the total effort that the majorettes exerted all year. Though sometimes exhausted, they had to grin and bear the pain. The majorette tryouts were similar to the fall majorette festival. Each girl had to perform military routines as well as develop and present an originali- ty number. Depending on their skill in the categories, the competitors AS THE BAND PROVIDES the background music, Terri Poling twirls at the opening of the Town Center. 60 T Clubs earned points. Whichever girls accumulated 300 points became majorettes. The newly chosen majorettes started preparation for the next school year just as most students began their summer break. During the month of July, they attended a week long camp. Practicing up to 14 hours a day, the majorettes learned new routines and how to work as a corps. Though they had to spend hours working on their routines, the girls had to spend money as well. Costumes, uniforms, and camp expenses were high, so PERFORMING AT AN ASSEMBLY.

As head majorette, Terri Poling knew the costs that majorettes faced. She said, Winter uniforms were over $100 plus $10 to $15 for alterations. The summer uniforms cost $30 . and then our Cowboysl cheer- leader outfits were about $20 apiece.

Cara Gregory takes roll for gym class. ending a hand Being an assistant of any kind meant dealing with other students and performing services for the school. However, many students did not want the position for those reasons; they wanted it mainly as a class to fill a hole in their schedule. The most common advantages to be found in being an assistant were: no homework, no studying and no tests. Office assistants were a valu- able asset to the secretary, clerks and guidance counselors. In the main office the assistants were required to know all phone extensions so they could answer the phone and take messages. Their duties also included sort- ing the mail. In the guidance office the 14 assistants ran errands and showed new students around. They also filed excuses, dis- tributed absence sheets and helped students who became ill or injured at school. Library assistants were help- ful to Librarian Nancy Cant- erbury. They checked books in and out, ran errands, wrote TO FIND THE CORRECT EX- TENSION, Cheryl Hooven refers to a list in the office. BETWEEN CLASSES, John Street checks a book out from assistant Rondie Welch. overdue slips and put books on the shelves. Helping individuals develop athletic skills, giving instruc- tions and taking roll were some of the duties the gym assistants performed. Disadvantages of being an assistant were noted by Donna Stewart and Rondie Welch. Donna said, You have to learn the routine of the job quickly; therels no goofing around, and you always have to be on your toes for what might happen next. Rondie agreed and said, ltStudents and teachers both can be unpredictable, therefore, we have to be alert for the unexpect- ed. Whenever the attendance clerk, Mary Sue Buckley, was absent, her assistants virtually took over her office and prepared the absence sheet. There was no substitute, so the students had to run things on their own. Other assistants had substitutes but they also were especially helpful when their teacher was absent.

Besides the job of choir director, Mrs. Corbett became a new mother, sang professionally and participated in a church ministry. mThe CHS Choir, according to Mrs. Corbett, was a very good group, but they needed individual discipline and vocal coaching.

After school they could work at the jobs they had obtained through Co-Op. Of approximately 50 students in the program, 26 were seniors. These students put in 15 hours a week on the job. Co-Op teacher Anne Huffman said that the students were very responsible at their jobs and that she'd received nnothing but good reports on the students concerning punctuality and attendance.

The Whispering Lions were not the only group to lend services to the school. Tasks were also shouldered by the Bunny Club and Honor Society. The Bunny Club, headed by Betty Bailes, was a community as well as school service organ- ization. Members of the club of duty were called bunnies. They helped at the CAMC General Hospital every Sunday by taking people to chapel services and by visiting the patients. Each bunny was also assigned to a teacher in school and assisted by running errands and grading papers. As a fund raiser, the club sold M 85 Ms and had many bakesales. Another helpful club was the Honor Society. At the end of the 11th grade, students could apply for membership. All those who met the requirements - which consisted of good citizenship, service, character, leadership and a B average - were admitted into the organization.

Their results were apparent by the numerous social activities they created. As the school year opened, Student Council began by spon- soring a faculty breakfast and conducting sophomore tours. Because they were representa- tives of the students, their input was sought on educational policies. During the consolida- tion controversy. they had a discussion with Stonewale prin- cipal. They also met with the parents to discuss the proposed curriculum. The council also got involved in athletics. They held a hospi- tality hour for the football and basketball teams; the second semester they sponsored home- -room intramural tournaments.

Doug Baldwin is aided by Rebecca Duncan and Lisa Ware Seniorsw89 '7' he Closs' mega Each year seniors are faced with the brain-teasing task of choosing a college, and this year was no exception. After taking the PSAT, SAT, and ACT, most seniors received catalogs and pamphlets from schools all over the United States. Which college to attend depended on several factors. One was whether the senior could even get into the college of their choice. Another was whether they could afford to go there. College costs varied from the $762 tuition cost at West Virginia State College to an estimated $8300 or more at a larger institution like Boston University. After these questions were answered, seniors had to ask themselves what kind of dorm they wanted. There were all male, all female and coed dorms from which to choose. Even at certain colleges there was a cadet dorm for ROTC candidates. Jenny Gaines commented that she would like to stay in a coed dorm because males inter- ested her greatly? There were also those who did not agree with the coed dorms. Bonnie Hightower felt it would be too confusing. Still there is more to college than staying in dorms; there is also the academic aspect. What would be one's major? Out of the 55 seniors polled, more than half wanted to major in law or nursing. The majority of these seniors t23l picked West Virginia a I , I I - a major deCISIo University as their first choice of a college. Cindy Myers noted, Itls away from home, but not too far.'l WVU's reputation as a Hparty school, its bandmand h football team, its wide variety of classes, and the number of graduates already there appealed to many. Other schools listed were: Marshall UL UC ml, Tech tSl, and State Ml. Some out-of-state l choices were: Art Institute of Atlanta, LSU, University of South Carolina, Florida State, Mary .Baldwin, University of Virginia, Boston University, Hampton University, Ohio State, VPI, and University of Ken- tucky. Seniors were aware that there were more college expenses than tuition. As Todd Crutchfieldu said, money also had to be available for books and housing. He was looking at various sources of financial aid, including the National Guard. l Jeff Wheeler added lab fees to his budget, and noted that he was considering ROTC to help pay the costs. Although most said that their parents would foot the billmfor college expenses, they also were considering part time jobs in work-study programs or savings from summer employment. Others expenses were laun- dry, school supplies, transporta- tion, money for weekends lander extra food. SURROUNDED BY COLLEGE PROPAGANDA.

College entrance tests such as the American College Test tACTi and the Scholastic Apti- tude Test tSATi are required for admission. The SAT costs $11 while the ACT runs $9.50. They can be taken at the University of Charleston, West Virginia State College, and George Washington High School. A senior might take both, depending on What college he or she wanted to attend. A11 state supported schools such as Fair- mont State, Marshall University, and West Virginia University, required a minimum of 14 composite on the ACT. Different colleges or schools within universities such as pre-engineering, pre-medical, or computer science may have higher standards than others. To get into Barnard College, one must have the SAT, and three other achievement test scores. The University of Char- leston, Ohio University, and the University of Cincinnati are some schools which permit scores from either test to be submitted. Testing actually began last year for most seniors through the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test tPSATi wNational Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test CONCENTRATING ON AN AP- PLICATION.

Philip said, If I attend WVU, P11 get a partial scholar- ship.

They give colleges a better insight into the student. M HM i o H H Since nationali SAT averages have gone down recently, English teachers decided to tackle the problem of low scores.

Many students took business courses to prepare themselves for a career while others took classes to learn skills which they could use in everyday life. Courses offered included: In- tro. to Bus., Typing I, II, and III; Recordkeeping; Accounting I and II; Clerical Procedures; Business Law; Shorthand I and II; and Business Principles. Marva Law, Diane Clements and Sharon Miller were the structors. Enrollment in all the classes except Shorthand II was up but the class with the largest enrollment was Typing. Students found typing to be a very useful skill. Carmen Michael said, It ttypingl was kind of hard but Ilm sure it will come in handy in college to type my term papers? Typing skills could be in- KEEPING HIS EYES ON HIS COPY. Johnny Risk completes his typing assignments. put to use in high school as well; some English teachers required research papers to be typed. Shorthand was an aid in notetaking which would be useful in college, but most students taking this course wanted shorthand as a secretar- ial skill. Business classes have aided Charlestonians in obtaining jobs or prepared them for further education in this field. Ms. Clements said, About 50 per- cent of the students go to college and major in business while others get jobs or join the service. All students with good skills get jobs if they want them. Those students without good skills should go to a vocational school for further training? TO LEARN TO TAKE DICTATION.

Giving a broad overview, the science curriculum included classes in accelerated and college prep, biology, Botany I 8:, II, Zoology I 85 II, Physiology, Chemistry I 8:. II, Physics I and II, and Physical Science. Biology was a prerequisite for all higher science classes, and most required the student to have a C average. Though the number of students in most of the classes didnlt fluctuate, the physics enrollment was up and the chemistry classes doubled in size. All of these classes provided a background for some common professions. Physiology, zoology, and chemistry all gave a good basis in medicine.

She said, nI took Chemistry II because I enjoyed the class and wanted to continue in science. I feel I have learned a lot from the class, and I think I will benefit from it in the future.

AcademicsA 23 New programming By next year it is projected that 75 percent of all jobs will have contact with computers. As a result of this, parents demand- ed that the school be equipped with computers and that com- puter literacy and computer science courses be offered, Dr. Joseph Abrams, Parent Advisory Committee President, reported to the first PAC Meet- ing that he had written to the board requesting immediate delivery of the 20 computers that were ordered. They were due to arrive September 1; however, they didnt arrive until mid- October. Then only half of the order was there. These com- puters didnlt even belong to the school; they were part of a state order. While the classes awaited the arrival of the new computers, they studied the historical aspects of computers and did preliminary work. They also worked on the Vector computer and the four Atari computers the school received in September. 1 QUAcademics This practice allowed the students to gain experience on more than one type of computer. The new computers were IBMS that had black and white screens, but color screens were eventually obtained. IBMs were chosen over the Ataris because the IBM is the standard state computer. The IBMs enabled the school the opportunity to hook up with school computers all over the state including the Board of Educationls. The three instructors who taught the computer literacy courses were Diane Clements, Anne Huffman and Gary Ingram. Ms. Clements attended summer and IBM workshops and classes on Basic Programming to prepare her to teach. Mr. Ingram already had 28 hours in Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, and Systems Analysis through the WV College of Graduate Studies. Ms. Huffman also attended computer classes at COGS.

Advanced opportunities Two new advanced classes which showed the schooPs adap- tability to the times - the Humanities and the Science Seminar - were offered this year. Each was designed to broaden students' scope of knowledge. Last winter English Depart- ment Chairman Bonnie Maddox was invited by the county board of education to attend a humanities conference in Atlanta, Georgia, and set up a pilot class for the county. This class for seniors took the place of the regular Accelerated English course. It was intended to incorporate literature along with art, music, and history of the times. Mrs. Maddox said, It was a study of the total range of what man is and has been through the years. We tried to prove that man has basically not changed through the years. To take the course, students had to have previously been in an accelerated English class or be admitted into the class by Mrs. Maddox. The class had a weighted grade, meaning that a iiB was worth 4.0 in calculating the grade point average, and an ttAiT was worth 5.0. Another new offering, the Science Seminar, taught by Martha Cole. gave juniors and seniors a chance to read and study areas of science which were not previously available to them. Miss Cole said, The students worked under self-direction and were graded on class presenta- tions and written work; they didnt take any examinations. This class also had weighted grades. No prerequisite courses were required for this course, but it was recommended for accelerat- ed or college preparatory students. Juniors and seniors taking the class got to take field trips, including one to a Carbide Seminar, and listened to guest speakers who visited the class. In lieu of textbooks the students used current magazines such as Discovery, Omni and Science. Academics T 127 KEEPING A FIRM GRIP ON THE LOOKING AT A HARD EA HANDLE.

Both required a great deal of concen- tration, stamina and skill. Most participants on the teams started running or playing golf as a hobby but gradually became more interested in competing. Golf, which was usually of- fered as a spring sport, began September 19. To sharpen their skills, golf team members prac- ticed on their own. Golf matches were held on several different courses. Some of these included Edgewood Country Club, Scarlet Oaks Country Club, Berry Hills Country Club, and Sleepy Hol- low Golf Course. The team competed against schools such as George Washington, Sissonville. Catholic, Dunbar and Hoover and other schools as far away as Nitro, Hurricane, Poca, DuPont and Winfield. The only member of the golf team to return from last year was Philip Combs. Sophomore Bobby Leurant played a sud- den death playoff at the end of the golf season which very nearly qualified him for the State Tournament. The golf team was coached by Lee Daugherty. In cross-country, as in golf, the lowest score won.

This proved to be a disadvantage, however, because the teams score was pulled down by the times of slower runners. Cross-country practice began August 15. The team practiced seventh period, after school, and on Saturdays and Sundays. Many team members were in- volved in football and band so practices had to be scheduled around these activities. Runners also had to practice on their own in order to build stamina. Team members improved their speed by running on different terrains and courses. The runners were consistent throughtout the season, main- taining a tenth place ranking against Hoover, St. Albans and Dunbar as well as in the G. W. Invitational and the Kanawha Valley Conference Regional Meets. At the end of the cross-country season, Steve Bradley and Billy Simms were chosen as 100 Mile Club members. The most im- proved runner was Andy Collison, and the only female runner was Kim Craig. Return- ing runners were Mark Snodgrass and Steve Bradley. Manager of the team was Anne Charbonniez and the coach was Sandi Myers. T0 LIMBER UP BEFORE A MEET. Billy Simms and Terry Finney walk, while Andy Blackwood does stretching exercises. ' PUTTING.

Tri-captains for the Lions were Jim McClure, Leon Alston, and Mark Wooding. Alston was also the senior quarterback. Predicted by the Daily Mail to have a 7-3 Season, the Lions finished with 8 wins and 2 losses and headed for the playoffs. According to Coach Roger Jefferson. they had lost a lot of starters who graduated but now, they had a chance to show how good they were collectively - as a team. Several players received the Daily Mail Player-of-the-Week Award. They were: Mike Shafer. Leon Alston, Mark Wooding and Eric Bush. The Daily Mail Best Start Award was received by Leon Alston who completed 10 of 14 passes for 278 yards and 4 touchdowns in the season opener over South Char- leston. In the A11 Kanawha first team defense Jim McClure was chosen for linebacker and Mark Wood- ing was picked as defensive back. The third leading rusher in the Kanawha Valley Conference was also tailback Mard Wooding. During the season opener, the Lions whizzed past South Char- leston Black Eagles. Part of the credit for this score went to Tommy Bradley who had four catches for 153 yards and two scores. He returned a punt 41 yards to set up a touchdown. Seven days later they went on to defeat Nitro 15-0, but the victory was not without prob- lems. We missed assignments, fumbled, and had penalties. The only, good thing was that we won? said Coach Jefferson. Traveling next week to East Bank, the team found their passing game was to be limited to 92 yards.

Due to the location of the school, only blocks from Stone- wall, the Lions were in the same region as the Generals. CHSl only losses of the year were two in the regular season and one in the playoffs. all of which were to Stonewall. Coach Terry Ferrell. who stressed the importance of team work throughout the season, was chosen as ttCoach of the Year.H Coach Ferrell said that he felt the choice was a reflection of the girls, conduct and not just on his coaching abilities.

For three and a half months, eleven girls worked together to achieve a record of 20 wins and 3 losses, one of the best records in the school's history. The girls practiced 3 to 3V2 hours a day from the middle of August to September and then began practicing seventh period and every evening for the rest of the season.

To be on the team, interested girls attended a 4-day practice clinic for two hours each day. Then, Coach White chose the top 13 girls for the team. The interest in volleyball was low this year, and this was reflected by the small number of people in attendance at the games. Only two starters, Lisa Ware and Kim Canterbury, re- turned to the team producing a bumpy start, according to Becky Cantley. Training the new players required work and practice, but by the first game their inexperience was unnotice- able. Regular practice began in December and was held every day and on some Saturdays for two to two and one half hours a day. To win a game the team had to be the first to score 15 points and have a two-point lead over its opposition. The team winning two out of three games was considered the winner of the match.

PREPARING TO LAY IT IN over a Stonewall opponent, Brett Horton con- trols the ball. When the new C average policy made by the Kanawha County Board of Education went into effect, the junior varsity team was hit the hardest. Of the 15 players that began the season, six were cut. Coach Lowell Harris wasnlt discouraged though. He knew the remaining players would perform their best because, Theylve got heart, he said. The success and failure of our season was determined by whether or not we won the close games, stated Coach Harris. At yearbook deadline time, the team had lost three overtime games and all the others were lost by four points or less. In the opening game against G.W., the Lions only shot about 42m from the field, which gave G.W. a Victory, 45-42. The next day in practice, Coach Harris went to work on a 3' J V jumps m if their shooting. Following Christ- mas break, the team put Coach Harris, instructions to work and defeated Nitro, 56-55. After traveling to St. Albans and losing by only four points, the Lions began to feel the pressure. According to George Pavilides, Our second semes- ter practices were filled with more intensity. We could feel ourselves coming closer together, both on the court and off. Although the team was crip- pled in the middle of the season, the team went on to overturn East Bank, Dunbar, DuPont and Herbert Hoover before suffering a loss, which was to South Charleston, 42-56. The Lions continued with an inconsistent pattern of wins and losses and defeated G.W. and St. Albans but lost to Nitro, Stonewall and East Bank. GIVING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE TEAM.

The long, drawn out process of becoming a cheerleader took time, dedication, enthusiasm and, above all, spirit. In March, girls interested in trying out for cheerleader began a one week practice session with the current members of the squad. They were allowed to practice by themselves over spring break, and when they returned to school, they drilled two additional times. At the sessions the girls learned one pom pom routine, three side line cheers and two floor cheers, all of which were needed for tryouts. Other requirements were partner stunts. a cartwheel, a iiround off , a split and jumps such as the ilhurkey, the ilstag, and a ustraddle toe touchf' The girls also had to make up an 16WSports original cheer of their own. Extra credit was given for performing gymnastics. The girls trying out had to maintain at least a C average in order to be judged. Six new girls were chosen, while three cheerleaders, Terry Led- better, Betty Barfield and Tammy Wheeler, returned from last year. Beginning June 20, the cheer- leaders started showing their spirit at practices which lasted six hours or more a day. At these practices they perfected cheers, jumps, and pom pom routines, then they learned to work together as a squad. In July, the girls, sponsored by Trish White, traveled to the National Cheerleading Camp held at West Virginia Wesleyan College where they competed with other schools and learned new routines and cheers. They were successful in bringing home the spirit stick and gaining a first place award for their pom pom routine and skit. After school started, the squad continued to practice every day and some evenings. They per- formed at the football and basketball games and pep as- semblies to help boost the team morale and get the crowd excited. ilCheerleading is a rewarding experience especially when everyone gets involved? stated Dana Bailey. During Spirit Week the cheer- leaders raised $1,500 through donations from the student body and area businesses. Along with the entire school, the cheerleaders supported the teams for another winning year. AT A PRACTICE SESSION, Tonya Lanham shouts, uGive lem a yell! AFTER A GOOD PLAY.

This affectedm many students in that over 500 Dis and ES were given onithe first semester grading period alone. Because of the high number of students with below average grades, Mr Clendenen began a campaign to reclaim the tradition of academic excellence at CHS.
