We Are Family TIVITIES .. We Are Family ... We Are Family ... We A Homecoming 1984 The Homecoming Court of 1984 was surely a beautiful sight. The girls were dressed in glamorous suits and dresses. Their faces were glowing with anticipa- tion as their escorts escorted them onto the court. Basketball sweetheart was announced first followed by the an- nouncement of Maid of Honor and finally the crowning of the Queen. 1. Special moment.

They help us recuperate from the classes before by giving us time to eat and play. The food is prepared by Madeline DuBose and Faye Huggins. Without them the lunch- room would be nothing. After everyone gets through eating they usually go into the gym to play basket- ball or just goof around and do nothing. It also lets us do homework for our last two classes that we forgot to do the night before. 14 1. Powerful Blow! Scott Stephens gives the volleyball a powerful blow. 2. Coming at ya!

The night before the Prom, the juniors are running around adding the finishing touches. The juniors work hard all year long in order to raise enough money to have a great |r.-Sr. The top four magazine salesmen from the freshman class are chosen as servers for the lunior-Senior Prom. The server's job is to keep the food supply steady. They, too, have a great time. The theme of the 1983 Prom was, This One's For You.” Instead of having an expensive band, the juniors decided to be practical and have a disc jockey. The D.j. played ex- cellent music which in turn made the Ir.-Sr. a fabulous event. 1. Gossip time. The |uniors take time out from the evening to catch up on all the latest news.

This One's for You 17 Our Heritage Our Heritage was the theme of the annual bazaar this year. It was based on old buildings and places around Darlington. A lot of work was spent on the bazaar this year. Many skillful adults worked hard to make crafts and wood- works. Parents and children worked hard on the scenery and shops of the bazaar for nearly a week. There were many shops that had merchandise for everyone. Some shops had toys for children and others had food and furniture items. In the tavern a delicious chicken bog was served. Overall the bazaar was very successful. 1. Secretaries.

This young Gamecock fan pur- chases a small stuffed animal from the Bazaar 19 Graduation is a sign of achievement. Once a student has received his diploma, they know that their twelve years of school have been a success. The students have worked hard to complete the twelve years of school in order to earn their diploma. The seniors are proud of their achievements and happy to be graduating. Graduation is also a time of sadness. The seniors are leaving their teachers, their many friends, and the feeling of oneness that is Darlington Academy. At graduation one will see both tears of happiness and tears of sadness. Either way, graduation proves to the seniors that success comes from much hard work. 1. Class of 1983.

It's a time to see if they did the job or didn't quite do the job. It gives them great joy to hear their name called and to receive a trophy. The cheerleaders enjoy the banquet too. They receive trophies for spirit and dependability. Two outstanding seniors are chosen as the recipients of the Belk Award This award is the highest award that a senior athlete can receive. Many people may not receive a trophy, but they receive a letter to show that they contributed to the season. The Banquet is a night of anticipation. Belk Award.

The best Darlington Academy has had in a long time. The team is on the move. Mrs. Penny Bon- noitt makes the team hustle at all times. The Junior Varsity team practices almost every weekday after school. The team spends anywhere from two to three hours planning their strategy for the up- coming game. If they should happen to lose, they will go back and practice harder. You know the saying, If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. 1. Junior varsity girls.

Don't stand there; get the ball! The girls seem to have lost the ball during the game 3. Getting into the action! Debora Hoffmeyer shows what action is all about when she plays basketball 23 The varsity soccer team underwent a few changes this year. Instead of spending time running laps, the team did endurance exercises and worked on ball control drills. These things really paid off on the field as they showed in the season opener in a tournament in Charleston. Although they lost one game, they tied another and played very well overall. As for the season, the team won four games but made it to the conference playoffs, losing to Winyah 2-0. Under the leadership of coach Billy Garey, the team gained many soccer skills which will show in coming years. 2 1. Varsity soccer team.

Coach Bob Dickerson and his team have put many hours into their practices and routines. They did really well all season. The team played rough, and gave all they had at all of the games; they never gave up. The team lost many experienced players to graduation last year. The team had only two seniors with four years experience, and two juniors with three years of playing experience. There were few, but all were good sports. Dukes of Darlington 27 1. Where did it go?

All the team members work well together. The team likes Mr. Gainey very much which also helps them in their games because they know that the coach won't yell at them when they do something wrong.

They put many hours into practice and it shows in their routines. They have a great squad. They attended a day camp at Francis Marion during the summer. The squad puts forth a lot of spirit and enthusiasm which gets the players and the spectators into the spirit. They will go far in their cheering life and become marvelous varsity cheerleaders.

The team showed no im- provement from their practices; no team spirit; however, the teams were big in determination. They provided many thrilling moments for the unusual- ly large audience. As the game progressed, the older players began to show weariness. The younger ones began to play harder because the older ones dropped out. In the end the game turned out as a 1 to 1 tie. Remember parents — It's not whether you win or lose; it's how you play the game that counts! - —------------------------------ 1. It's mine! No, it's mine!

Pam Jordan explains the meaning of scholarship before she lights the candle. The National Honor Society was founded in 1921 for high school students. A student has to work very hard to be considered for membership in the organization. It is a high honor to be a member of this organization. A stu- dent has to meet certain standards in order to be eligible: 1 — scholarship, 2 — character, 3 — service, 4 — leadership. Although a student may have reached the standards in his freshman year, he is not eligible until the second semester of his sophomore year. Also, he has to have a cumulative average of 86 or better to be considered. Eligible second semester sophomores, juniors, and seniors are voted on by the faculty. Each faculty member scores the student on a scale of one to four, four being the highest, in each of the four categories. Any student with a cumulative score of 3.0 will be tapped into the organization during a spring assembly. 1. National Honor Society. Front: Lisa Tolson, Timmy Drew, Treasurer; Wyman Cook.

The usual as usual. Billy Walton doing what he does best: NOTHING! 4. Another one! Taylor representative Mike Smith corrects all the mistakes on the layouts. 5. New ideas. Andy Casey tries to find some new angles from an old yearbook. I Many people don't realize what hard work goes into putting an annual together. The annual staff meets two nights a week and on Sunday after- noons. The work doesn't stop there. Members are required to sell approx- imately 15 ads each, some take pictures of different activities during and after school, other members draw layouts, identify and crop pictures, and write copy. Some staff members attended the Taylor Summer Workshop which was held at Columbia College during the summer. While there, the theme and general outline of the annual was formulated. I hope each member of the faculty and student body enjoy and treasure this remembrance of the school year. Speaking for myself and the annual staff, we thoroughly enjoyed putting the book together. I want to thank each member of the staff for their hard work and dedication, for without them the book would not have been successful. Donna A. Sanders Editor-In-Chief 2 1. 1984 Kinesis Staff.

Under the leadership of President Tim Isgett and advisor Penny Bonnoitt, they collected canned food to distribute to the needy during the holidays, as well as sending a group from the Student Forum to Columbia to attend S.A.D.D. (Students Against Drinking and Driving) seminar. Also they continued running the school store, and sponsoring Homecoming. With these projects as well as some proposed ones, the Stu- dent Forum brought the Darlington Academy students closer together. 1. Opening Message ...

Clown Ion jeffords and friends use a time out to mop up the court before play resumes. Donkey basketball is surely a very thrilling event. To make a basket you had to be on a donkey's back. You could drag, pull, or ride the donkeys down the court, but you couldn't make two points unless you were on a donkey's back. Not only did the children find this game amusing but so did the adults. During half time there was another game called musical donkey. In this game there were four donkeys and five women. The announcer would play music and the women would have to hurry and get on a donkey. Since there were four donkeys and five women, a woman lost each time and one donkey was taken away. This continued until there was only one donkey left and two women. Well, they both got on the same donkey at the same time. So., they had to repeat it. Eventually, there was a winner and the donkey basketball was underway again. This game was a spectacular event! 46 Donkey Basketball The Octagon Club, sponsored by the Darlington Optimist Club, has had a successful year, with its many projects. Mr. Braxton Usher took over as the advisor this year. He and the Octagon Club officers worked closely on the various projects. The purpose of the Oc- tagon Club is to provide public ser- vices for the community and im- provement services. Many new people were inducted into the club at the beginning of the school year. 1.

Spanish was truly a learning ex- perience for most of us, this year. Everyone worked to his fullest potential under the direction of Mrs. Adelita Randall. In addition to the hard work, Spanish is fun to learn. The rewards of knowing a foreign language are not easily seen by the students at this time. However, in years to come the students will reap the rewards of the study and hard work. 2. Members.

The student must pass at least four academic subjects, average 75% playing time or cheer 75% of the time for a varsity sport. Being a member of Block D is an honor. It is hard work. The main purpose of the Block D is to encourage participation in the sports program and to boost school spirit. Mrs. Penny Bonnoit is the 1983-84 Block D advisor. 48 Block D. Front: Pam jordan.

Kathy Hayes seems to be wondering what the photographer finds so interesting. The first year in high school is always an enthusiastic one. It gives the freshmen a chance to participate in var- sity sports and high school clubs. The freshmen are no longer initiated by eggs and other gross things, but they are in other ways. They have fun going to high school assemblies and pep rallies. There is much hard work involved in the first year of high school. In middle school, the grades are important in be- ing promoted to the next grade. Now that they are freshmen they receive units for their passing grades. High school students have to have so many units in order to pass and graduate. The freshman year is an exciting and an im- portant time of a student's life. 1. Freshman class officers.

Sophomores are participating in more school activities such as clubs and sports. The sophomores are looking for- ward to their next two years of high school. Ordering class rings, varsity jackets, and graduation are only a few of the things that they are looking for- ward to with anticipation and fear. The sophomore class will remember the 1983-84 school year as one that brought many new challenges and ex- periences and much fun along the way. Class officers. Tony DeWitt, Secretary-Treasurer.

(bta(£ 6u pp Fellow Seniors: It's hard to believe that we're already seniors. During the years at Darlington Academy, we've had many good times and a few bad ones. The idea for this yearbook came from my relationship wifch you, because we're more than classmates; we're family ' Some days we have spent more time together, at ballgames or some other school activity, then we have with our own families. I hope that we can remain as close in the years to come as we are now! I love you all Donna Sanders Editor-in-Chief The Senior Class of 1984. Timmy Drew, Mahlon Bonnoitt, Angie Suggs, Donna Richardson, Tom Goodson, Al Floyd, (in car) Donna Sanders and Pam Jordan.

This is very appropriate for the way the students feel about the faculty of Darlington Academy. They're more than just teachers. They're more like family. Even though they don't get told often, we really do love, respect, and appreciate them more than they will ever know. The students always know if they have a problem they're here to talk to. They get really involved in school activities; most of them are involved in clubs, sports, or some other school activity. The teachers are special to us because they really do care about the students. Even though we give them a hard time sometimes, they still love us. Darlington Academy got lucky when it got teachers as good as these! From all the students a sincere: Thank You! 1. Oh no! Linda Gainey smiles as she has her picture taken. 2. Master chefs. Mrs. Madeline DuBose and Mrs. Faye Huggins keep the cafeteria in order 3. Oh goodie. Mr. Harding is glad that he has just finished the last room of the day. 4. Let's try it one more time ' says Mrs. Caroline Edwards. 84 More of Our Family Family Board Another branch of our family is the Board of Directors. The Board meets once a month to discuss issues affecting the Academy. They put a lot of hard work and financial aid into the school. We, the students, faculty, and parents, owe a lot to these people for without them there would be no Darl- ington Academy. Hard at work.
