Darlington Academy - Kinesis Yearbook (Darlington, SC)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1978 volume:

Although the boys basketball team performed equally as well as the soc- cer team, they were not state cham- pions. The boys basketball team played many tough new teams this year. The girls participate in soccer, softball and basketball. Soccer was enjoyed by all who participated, The softball team was young and inexpe- rienced but determined to play every game to the fullest. In school extra-curriculum activi- ties include Annual Staff, National Honor Society, Spanish Club, Stu- dent Forum, and several other clubs. Due to small enrollment of Dar- lington Academy, the membership of each club is almost identical. Stu- dents don’t mind. They give all of themselves that they can. Why? Because There’s no place we’d rather be.’’ Break Time. Annual Staff worked hard all year. They decided to take a break to discuss work. Wrong. Glen Weatherford looks sur- prised to discover he missed such an easy answer. Wondering. Peggy Dubose looks hard to see if she could possibly hurry and vote so she can go back to class before the bell rings. S Discipline is an ever pressing is- sue among everyone at the Academy. Dentention Hall is clean-up time. Students assigned Detention Hall clean the campus grounds, wash trash cans, vacuum classrooms and many other duties as punishment for misbehaving in class. Detention Hall is accepted with a grain of salt be- cause the students understand that Detention Hall is only given when it is justly due. They don’t mind clean- ing the campus as part of their pun- ishment. Why? Because There’s No Place We’d Rather be.’’ Scrambling far the 6aW-Ron Calcutt and Ricky Galloway scramble for the ball during one of the Soccer games. It’s mine-Meg Severance jumps high to make sure that the rebound will be hers. Joke time—Cathy Bryant and Betsy McCutcheon tell each other jokes while everyone else is busy.

Everyone is in step as Ricky Galloway dribbles past Union opponents. 6 Look Ma! Aladdin Mozingo gets ready to score another goal in practice. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were as easy to score goals in a game as it is in practice? Arrid anyone?

The varsity boys soccer team almost won the state championship. Almost! But not quite. They lost the cham- pionship game 1-2 to College Prep. Being runners-up and having a 15-5 record is nothing to sneeze at. The team is to be commended for doing an excellent job. Many hours of hard practice were put in by the team. The team was faced with two new and unavoidable situations. Many powerful starters were lost to gradu- ation last year. Henry Funderburke joined the Academy as soccer coach. All the players accepted these facts and immediately set about to over- come the loss and cooperated fully with the new coach. By the end of the season, the team had the Number 1 defense in the state. The defense allowed an average of 1 goal per game. Perhaps the team didn’t win the championship but they came as close to it as anyone can get. First Runners-up in Championship Go get it!

Soccer team did very good for themselves. Consisting of boys from grades 6 through 10, the team was coached by Mr. James Smalley. Many of these players have had previous experience which was put to good use during the season. Although the team was young, their determination kept them going and trying even when they were behind. The team will be better than ever next year due to the added experience. 9 Amateurs J.V. Girls. Front: Jo Lynn Bryant, Co- captain; Renee Goodson, Co-captain; Katherine Bristow, Co-captain.

Get the ball. Jo Lynn Bryant shouts to her teammate to get the ball. Impressing and surprising are just two words used to describe the J.V. Girls season. Under the direc- tion of Mrs. Delores Privette and Terry Sylvester, the girls have worked hard. It has shown. Their 6-6 record has been a result of many hard hours of work and practice. They may have been amateurs this year, but next year they will be sea- soned veterans.

The Varsity girls look ready for the second half of their game. Somebody must have said something right at half-time. Make it If Harriett Bonnoitt doesn't make this free shot, she might have to run an extra lap at her next practice. Keep your eyes peeled. Nancy Moody must keep her eyes on the ball in order to grab it in case it doesn't go in the basket. This year the Varsity Girls have contradicted much of what has been said in the past. Many people have not given the team their full support because of their past records. This year is different. Coached by Char- lene DuBose, the girls have taken a complete turn around. Now they are winning games and playing better than most people ever believed pos- sible. The girls are finally out from under it.

Though their season’s record wasn’t as good as last year’s, they piled up an impressive stack of wins. •Com- prised mostly of sophomores,” the team is expecting a much better sea- son next year. It will be tough next year. After coming on so strong this year, the other teams will be ready for them.

Cheerleaders keep the spirit going for the J. V. teams. The Junior Varsity Cheerleading squad has done a remarkable job, considering that none of the girls have cheered before this year. They have had to spend several extra hours practicing, but the extra work has paid off. They have improved greatly over the year as well as having spon- sored several different projects to raise money for their uniforms. One of these projects, raffling off tickets at the bazaar for Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls, raised a large amount of money as well as providing excite- ment for several of the smaller chil- dren. The cheerleaders admitted that it was a lot of work but it was mostly fun. Down: Cindy Cross, Margaret Morris, Margaret Scott.

If you’ve got spirit, clap out loud.” The Varsity Cheerleaders try to get the fans cheering with one of their pep cheers. Standing: Lynn Tyler, Jean Price, Lynn Miles, captain; Karen Privette, Andrea Scott. Up: Karen Stokes. Most people don’t realize haw big a job the Varsity Cheerleaders have. Cheering for the Varsity Soccer and Basketball teams is just part of their job. They hold pep rallies during lunch to raise student spirit and to encourage participation at the games. Anonymous phone calls are made and secret surprises are deliv- ere to raise the spirit of the team members. The Varsity Cheerleaders do not have to do all these extra things, but they enjoy them as much as the athletes do receiving them. Iff . rS .r Never Give Fast ball. Nancy Moody prevents a runner from advancing as she throws the ball to the next base. Swinging hard. Melanie Anderson pow- ers the ball down the first base line. The first regular season of the girl's softball team may not have seemed productive to some, but not to the girls. Turning ankles, pulling muscles, and even getting beat as bad as 80-0 didn't discourage them. They kept going just waiting for the chance when they could pull out their first victory. It finally came in the game against Byrdtown, 21-20. It was their first and last victory but they plan to improve this year. If they had never won a game, the fun that they had made it all worth while. The 1977 Softball Team.

IS STUDENT LIFE A Everyone knows what October SI is! It’s Halloween! Every year Dar- lington Academy presents a Hallow- een Carnival. All the children dress up as spooks, goblins, and witches and visit the Halloween Carnival. Fun is had by all at the various booths and the Horror House. Even those who do not wish to par- ticipale in the games, enjoy watching the Pre-School and Lower School stu- dents throwing darts at balloons and walking through the rooms that are open for examination. Without the Halloween Carnival, many young children would be roaming the streets on Halloween night instead of enjoying it safely. The wind blown look.

Mrs. Sharon De Witt discovers that selling baked-goods is hard work. Hard Worker. Mrs. Mary Kirven kneads the dough carefully in order to have the best tasting bread for the Bazaar. 22 Crowded hallways, packed shops , and filled parking lots were the com- mon scenes at the annual Harvest Time Bazaar. Several hundreds of people saw the beautiful handcrafts that the parents and students pre- pared for this event. Months of prep- aration went into our bazaar. Stu- dents spent several class periods making beautiful and useful projects while parents spent time and money gathering materials for their own projects. Now that this year’s bazaar is over, the cycle of preparation be- gins again. zs Selling of Goods Helping hand. Mr. Archie Moody is working hard to auction donated items to help the school. Keep it moving. These mothers work steadily to keep the line moving. Success. Mr. Jerry Bonnoitt is pleased to see such a large croud at the annual barbeque. This year's barbeque is going to be another success for the school. 2U With the arrival of spring, comes the annual BBQ and Auction. Di- rected by the Booster Club, this event is a major fund raising project of the school. Many merchants from the Darlinton area donate items to be sold by auctioneer Archie Moody. This money is given to the school to be used in some beneficial way. Such do- nations are appreciated and used wisely by the school. Auction. Many items were generously donated for the auction by friends and families of the school. I can’t believe I ate the whole thing. Mrs. Beasley can’t believe how high her plate is piled with barbegue. A Break to the Action Children at heart. Ricky Galloway and Rich Smothers prove that everyone is really a child at heart Though a school day is usually con- sidered boring, the occasional breaks add a little life to it. Even though they are not very long, a lot can be ac- complished in them, like doing the English homework you forgot about, or feeding that little gnawing feeling inside, or playing a murderous game of basketball. Yes, you should have done that homework at home, and lunch time is for eating, and playing basketball isn’t necessary. But isn’t it nice to have the time to do these things? Listening intently, Cathy Bryant catches up on the latest gossip over lunch. Horsing around. The halls provide an interesting place to play in inclimate weather.

This pop- ular song title from the motion pic- ture ,Saturday Night Fever was the theme of this year’s Homecoming Dance. Held, on Saturday night, Feb- ruary 10, 1978, the dance was a suc- cess. Students from grades 9 through 12 and their dates boogied down to the sounds of Lil’ John’s Disco from Charlotte, N.C. The dance, sponsored by the Student Forum, was held in honor of our Homecoming Queen, Donna Sansbury, her court, and friends. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Everyone said that this Homecoming Dance turned out to be one of the best yet. The Queen on her throne.

After Donna Sansbury was crowned 1978 Homecoming Queen, she was presented a dozen red roses by Mr. Jimmy Galloway as she received a kiss of congratulations. Do it right. Betsy McCutcheon and her escort, Ronnie Stokes, are about to take their place on the court. Homecoming night was very ex- citing for all. It hadn’t seemed ex- citing for any of the girls until the time came for the girls and their es- corts to walk out in front of the crowd. The gym was overflowing with spectators. After everyone had taken their place on the court, the Mistress of Ceremonies, Meg Flow- ers, announced Robin Collins as the 1978 Basketball Sweetheart. Robin Collins was presented with a basket- ball signed by the Varsity Boys Bas- ketball team. Finally, the highlight of the evening arrived. As- the girls anxiously awaited, the Mistress of Ceremonies, Meg Flowers amwunced Donna Sansbury as the 1978 Home- coming Queen. Donna Sansbury was crowned by Stephanie Marsh, 1977 Homecoming Queen, and presented a dozen red roses by Mr. Jimmy Galloway. si Vive L’Amour Vive L' Amour”—Long Live Love. This was the most impressive Ju- nior-Senior yet. The students enjoyed good food, good music, good dancing and good company. Entertainment was provided by Tenth Avenue, one of the best bands in the South. The band played selections from the Top 40 music list to songs from the past. For refreshments the students had a variety of sandwiches and sweets prepared by the Lunch Box. Refresh- ments were served by six freshmen chosen by the Junior Class. These people did a remarkable job and coop- erated with the Juniors to make the Junior-Senior a success. Afterwards the students enjoyed three days at Myrtle Beach. Activi- ties includes lying on the beach, swimming, water bogging, and vis- iting some of the entertainment spots. Much appreciation goes to Mr. and Mrs. Glenn DuBose for their ac- companiment and the use of their beach house. A Junior-Senior Prom is one of the highlights of the school year and the Junior Class certainly made it a happy occasion for everyone. The beat goes on. Tenth Avenue kept the beat going for the energetic dancers at the Junior-Senior. Si Boogie down. Different couples boogie down to the music of Tenth Avenue. What’s so funny?

Awards are presented by the coaches to the athletes who were chosen by the team members as the best offensive and defensive play- ers. Also rewarded are the players who have shown the most improve- ment and the players who have maintained the highest scholastic av- erage in each sport. Although some may not receive such recognition, their efforts as part of the team are recognized to the fullest. ss Freaky Photos Miss America.

There is a certain breed of people who enjoy having their picture taken. Anytime the camera is around, these people pose and beg for the person to take his picture. The person smiles, the camera clicks and everyone continues on his way. This page is dedicated to such people who are more commonly known as hams. 37 The Preliminary Scholastic Apti- tude Test, affectionately known as PS AT, is taken by juniors in October of each year. Although juniors are not required to take this test, it is strongly recommended that they do so particularly if they desire to attend college. The PS AT is designed to inform the college-bound junior of his weak areas in English and mathematics. Looking back over her test. Robin Col- lins decides that everything is in order. Reading over the instructions, Mrs. Ed- wards carefully explains how to do the test. What does this mean? Cathy Bryant asks Mrs. Edwards a question about the answer sheet before the test begins. PSAT Armed with this information the ju- nior should concentrate on strength- ening these areas in preparation for the Scholastic Aptitude Test which will be taken later in the junior year and in the senior year. Some students fear this type of test while others accept it as an everyday happening. Perhaps the largest pro- test heard against aptitude tests is not the extremely challenging ques- tions found on them but the time re- quired to take the test. The idea of any test lasting over an hour is tax- ing on many a student’s nerves. But, the PSA T and other aptitude tests are here to stay. The PSAT is to help students see their weaknesses so they can strengthen them. The PSAT is an intricate part of the educational system. It is a friend, not a foe. 38 ORGANIZATIONS Letter-Men The Block D, one of the many clubs, is composed of athletes and cheer- leaders. A student can become a member by lettering in a varsity sport or by cheering on the varsity squad. One of the Block D’s purposes is to inspire students to participate in sports. An athlete can letter by averaging seventy-five percent playing time or by contributing to the team in some manner. A cheerleader can receive a letter by cheering for soccer and bas- ketball games and meeting the other requirements of the squad. Under the sponsorship of Miss Charlene DuBose, several money making projects were sponsored. Some of the projects sponsored were cake raffles and a calendar sale. It is an honor to be a member of the Block D. Memberhip has to be earned. I Front: Harriett Bonnoitt, Karen Stokes, Martha Willis, Andrea Scott, Mark Munn, President; Katherine Bristow, Lynn Tyler.

W Rush time. When break arrives, the Spanish Club has a rush for candy from the students. Correct change. It seems that getting correct change makes it easier for everyone. Planning a trip to Mexico has kept the Spanish Club busy. Pairs of stu- dents work at break selling an as- sortment of candy to seemingly fam- ished students in order to raise money for the trip. Not everyone in the club is planning to go on the trip. The students who are planning to go appear to be very excited about it. This will be the first visit to a foreign country for many of the students. The Mexico trip enables the students to use their knowledge of Spanish in conversations with Spanish speaking people.

Drawing layouts, writing copy} and organizing pictures are all a part of the annual staff If a student wants to become a member, he or she must be uniting to do some hard work. The annual is designed and or- ganized under the supervision of Miss Ellen Causey for the student body. Putting it in black and white takes a lot of hard work but the staff believes it's worth it.

Our school is just one chapter of this na- tional organization. The students considered to become a part of this or- ganization must meet the require- ments of being at least a sophomore in high school, having an 86 or above cummulative average, and the quali- ties of scholarship, leadership, ser- vice, and character. Each year the faculty votes on the students who are eligible to become members of the Na- tional Honor Society. The ones chosen take this as a great honor and think of the National Honor Society as being one of the most prestigious or- ganizations in existence. N.H.S. Emily Aimar gives the opening speech explaining the meaning of the five candles of National Honor Society. A tap from Emily.

Leaders of Tomorrow Leadership is an important qual- ity needed in a society. Middle School Student Council helps develop this trait in potential students. Students in grades 5 through 8 are elected to the Council by their class members. Officers are elected by the Council members. Members are informed of the pur- pose of the Student Council. Through their involvement the students learn how a govemoring body operates. The Middle School Student Council is sponsored by Mrs. Dale Nolan. Un- der the supervision many projects were initiated. A Bowling Alley was sponsored by the Council at the Hal- loween Carnival to raise money. During the winter months a Camp- bell Soup label drive is held. At the end of the drive, the soup labels are totaled. Useful school equipment is purchased with the soup labels for the Academy. Although the Middle School Stu- dent Council is not very active, its few projects are very productive. Money is earned for its operation, the school acquires new equipment, and the students involved gain a new un- derstanding in the role of a governor- ing body and experience to help them throughout their lives.

The Student Forum, which is the backbone of the student body, has had a busy year. The student store, which is the forum’s major money-making function, was moved to a new loca- tion. Some of its new projects to make money was selling Roadrunner cuph- olders and calendars. Also, a new Santa’s Helper. Throughout the busy bazaar, Mr. Hatchell takes time out to pose with Santa for a picture. drink machine was installed. As usual, the Forum sponsored the Christmas Dance as well as the Homecoming ceremony and dance which was held February 10 and 11. Featured at the Homecoming Dance was Li’I John’s Disco and Light show from Charlotte. All in all, it was a successful year. From the day school opened to the day it closed its doors for summer, the members of the Forum were con- stantly on the move. is Singing Up a Storm Ever since the format ion of the Ju- nior Ensemble, they have been busy. Singing at special occasions both in and out of school has kept them run- ning from place to place. Formed mainly of girls from the eighth grade, these girls have taken the place of the former Ensemble. Though they get more recognition than the individual music classes, these classes are the backbone of the music program. Each voice is being trained not just to sing, hut to sing well. Who knows? Another Beverly Sills may come forth out of one of these classes. Merry Christmas. The sixth grades wel- come visitors to the concert with a lively Christmas carole. Harmonizing. Under the direction of Miss Anders(m, the Junior Ensemble harmonizes beautifully. Introduction. Miss Anderson explains to the audience the theme of the Middle School Christmas Program. 47 Dedication of the 1977 78 Darlington Academy Annual The Annual Staff dedicates this year’s annual to Miss Ellen Causey. We would like to dedicate this an- nual to Miss Ellen Causey. We, the Annual Staff members feel that Miss Causey has done more for the school, students and the annual than any- one could possibly do. The Annual Staff members have really grown close to Miss Causey as well as the rest of the students at Darlington Academy. Miss Causey has really put up with a lot this year. Miss Causey has really helped many people in many different ways. When the going got rough on the Annual Staff Miss Causey was always there to make things easier. At times when Miss Causey would raise her voice we thought she hated us, but really did it for our own good. When the Annual Staff members started getting slack Miss Causey would see to it that the members of the Annual Staff would get back on the ball. If Miss Causey had not been there, the annual would have never been finished. Besides being advisor of the Annual Staff, Miss Causey had five math classes to teach this year. Miss Causey is one of the finest teachers at Darlington Academy. The students at Darling- ton Academy that plan to go to college will be well prepared for their math courses, Miss Causey will see to that. Miss Causey really cares about her students and wants her students to learn all that they possibly can. Right now the students might can’t understand this, but later in life they will understand why Miss Causey fought so hard to get them to learn as much as possible. The Annual Staff as well as the rest of the students at 18 Darlington Academy would like to thank Miss EJllen Causey for every- thing she has done for Darlington Academy. We know of no better way to show our appreciation than by dedicating the 1977 78 Darlington Academy Annual to you. Miss Causey if you don’t slow down you’re going to break your other arm. is Helping Hands All parents are members of the Mother’s Club and the Booster Club. These organizations sponsor various projects throughout the year to raise money for the school. The big projects each year are the Harvest Time Ba- zaar which is held in November, and the Barbeque and Auction which is ’'eld in February. In addition to these projects, the mothers work in the lunchroom and the fa thers sell hamburgers, hot dogs, and French fries at the Moody-Godley Auction Sales every Saturday. No one can imagine how it would be without the help of these organizations. Left to right: Mrs. Sylvia Lane, Secre- tary; Mrs. Avis Anderson, Vice-Presi- dent; and Mrs. Joyce Hill, President.

FRESHMEN STEP UP The Freshmen Class entered their first day of high school with much en- thusiasm. The great wait was over. Last year’s eighth grade had become this year’s freshman class, first year high school students. Freshmen underwent the tradi- tional initiation. Fun was had by all involved. The Freshmen Class is filled with lots of school spirit and many enter- prising ideas. Look out Academy. The 1978 Freshmen Class is here. Sitting: Janet Amuir, Secretary-Treasurer. Standing: Tony Brown, Vice-President; Penny Ward, President. Nancy Moody Karen Privette Robin Richardson 71 72 SLY SOPHOMORES The Sophomore Class is really one of a kind. Not only is the Sophomore Class one of the largest but one of the busiest also. Almost everyone is ei- ther involved in sports or in one of the clubs on campus. The Sophomores are looking fo- ward to their last two years of high school with anticipation. Class rings, graduation, and college are being looked forward to with exhileration and a little fear. Although the Sophomores do not know what the fature holds for them, they certainly do plan to find out! Ricky Calloway, President; Barbara Han- cock. Vice-President; Jean Price. Secretary- Treasurer.

I bet you didn’t know that Cathy Bryant won the speed writ- ing contest. Have you got the money added up yet? Hand me those magazine stubs. Pass the box of streamers. I need some tape fast! These are only a few familiar questions and statements which most junior classes hear. It begins the first day of school and ends triumphantly with a suc- cessful junior-senior prom. Shortly after school began, the magazine campaign was kicked-off with the help of Ned Bailey, a QSP representative. Finally, the maga- zine campaign ended. The Junior Class had raised enough money for the Junior-Senior Prom. The time for important decisions about the prom arrived. What theme do you guys want? In Novem- ber the Juniors visited Charlotte, North Carolina to choose a band. The trip was successful. The band was chosen with little difficulty. The Junior-Senior proved to be the best ever at the Academy. It's a suc- cess! We did it! Next year we'll be seniors. Betsy McCutcheon Lynn Miles Theresa Psillos 75 Moving On Well, we finally math it to the top. We’ve shared good times and bad times. Although a few people have joined our class in recent years, the majority of us have been together since the fifth grade. We’ve been through alot together and we all know that it will be hard for us to say good-bye the last day of school. We've grown so close together that we’re like one big family. We would like to thank everyone at Darlington Academy for everything because we couldn’t have done it without you. We will always remem- ber Darlington Academy and the people that make it up. Hopefully, Darlington Academy will never for- get the Class of 78”.

They’ve really kept the students on the ball and helped to fill each school day with new and in- vigorating topics. The staff workers have been hard at work this year keeping the school clean. The students truly appreciate the work done by these ladies. Under the guidance of the top-not- ched faculty and staff, students pros- per into young adults prepared to meet any challenge. Thanks for everything. The stu- dents of Da rlington Academy salute the faculty and staff. A finely-tuned office. Litida Gainey, school secretary, keeps everything run- ning smoothly in the office. SI Leaders of the Pack Holding the ticket high, Mr. HatcheU announces the winner of the side of beef Working busily, Mr. HatcheU prepares the day's activities. Posting newsletters on the bulletin board has been Mr. HatchelVs way of communicating with the student body. The Board, of Trustees consists of eight men who are the backbone of this school. Many decisions are made by this group, one of which was the selecting of a new headmaster. After much deliberation, they chose Mr. Al- bert Hatchell for the position. Mr. Hatchell has been busy trying to establish schedules, contracts, and trying to solve other problems as they occur. Also, with the coming of Mr. Hatchell came the reinstatement of Detention Hall. If it were not for him and the Board, there would not be any leaders of the pack Members of the Board. Sitting: Jerrel Sansbury, Treasurer; R.E.

The Robin Hood per- formers seem to he playing during their performances. As I see it.” One of the Robin Hood Players is making a plan that is part of the play. It was this tall.” It was this tall and hairy all over.” hi Winners. Sandy Baker and Larry Thompson received money for being the top salesmen during the magazine sale. There will be an assembly at the next bell. Please be prompt. These fa- miliar words were usually answered by looks from the students that ranged from what have we done now to goodie, we get out of first pe- riod.” Though many of the assem blies have been held for reproofs, some of them have involved interesting guests. The Robin Hood Players made their annual appearance. They per- formed a play about Mark Twains early life. A Fire Marshal thrilled the younger ones with a ride on a fire engine while teaching all of the stu- dents fire safety. Mr. Bailey, maga- zine representative campaign. With guests like these, assemblies are usu- ally events that are looked forward to with eagerness. 85 Our Pat. Our Pat, Darlingtons first fire engine, was exhibited during Fire Prevention Week.

Tina Hathcock thinks to her- self how hard it is to say good-bye for the last time to Darlington Academy. Waiting. Charles Aimar discovers that waiting to go home is the hardest and lonliest part of the school day. Gossip. The girls are trying to get the last bit of gossip before leaving Dar- lington Academy for summer vacation. Life at Darlington Academy is en- joyed by all students. Classes, extra- curricular activities, lunch and break periods are eagerly looked for- ward to each day. The end of the day and the last day of school brings sad- ness to all students at the Academy. Why? Because 'There’s no place we’d rather be.” 9
