We, the Class of 1987, have come a long way since we were freshmen. As freshmen, we were the top class at Lake City Junior High-East. Our class officers were: Doyle Rooks, President, Barbie Kemp, Vice-president; Sharma Atkinson, Secretary; Tracy Banner, Treasurer; and Stephanie Nettles, Reporter. We eventually outgrew being Fal- cons. Our promotion placed us in a completely different environ- ment—Columbia High School— and presented us with new chal- lenges. Becoming sophomores was a mixed blessing. True, we were Ti- gers at last, but we were at the bottom, looking up. The upper- classmen enjoyed pointing out that the word sophomore means “unwise.” Many of us had trouble finding our classes—all seven of them —during the first week. Be- ing called last for assemblies was not great, either. Nevertheless, things began to look up after a while. We proved to the upper- classmen that sophomores could win Homecoming. Class rings were delivered before the end of the year. Once we could find our way around, the campus was defi- nitely an improvement over the junior high. We had a broader and more interesting range of classes. As for the cafeteria, well, some things never change. Class officers were: Sharma Atkinson, President; Melissa May, Vice- president; Lori Howell, Secre- tary; and Sheila Shaw, Treasurer.
