Throughout Taylor County, students were planning ahead. Clothes were bought with special care. Lists were checked and double checked. Finally the day arrived.

Oh no! I'm going to be late. Running out the door, almost tripping over the dog, I finally catch the bus. Hey, you look great. Who was that? Finally the bus arrives. It seems that everything and everyone has changed. Everyone is hugging, laughing and just having fun . . . just like it was New Years. Everyone thinks of a New Year starting in January, but for those who go to school, their New Years starts the day after Labor Day. It's a New Year's Bash, Flemington High Style! And what do you want for Christmas? Juniors get into the Christmas spirit when Tammy Vincent plays Santa to Reva Simmons. Opening 3 Colden waves brush against the shore line of Tygart Lake.

Red and orange hues dot Taylor County countrysides as au- tumn celebrates it's own kind of New Year's Bash. A blast of winter. Snow works its way into Taylor County as heavy snow coats tree branches and breaks power lines. Opposite page. In a daze . . . Indian summer gives stu- dents a last reminder of warm days before winter winds come howling. Slowly the warm days drifted toward the cool days of autumn. Soon school days replaced summertime fun. It was time for a NEW YEAR'S BASH! Friends, sports, parties, dances, grades and homework took over the students' lives. The cold winter winds ushered in the flu season, but students were busy planning Yuletide presents and making resolutions to notice. V' v - Springtime burst onto the scene with blasts of color. Students brought out their shades to celebrate the days of sun and warm breezes. It was time to party, with the biggest bash of the year, The Prom, just days away. The year wound down. Graduation came, and with it hot weather and summer vacation. After a hectic year, students could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Opening 5 After the first hellos, it was time to get down to business. Assignments were finished. Projects were built. Paper work, ... Oh the paper work increased . . . falling out of notebooks .... tumbling out of lockers. There was no time to party . . . Or was there? The New Year also brought with it a new attitude in learning. Not only the teachers, but the whole nation turned their attention to providing a better education. Students worked and were challenged in their classes. Special presentations and recognitions brought honors to the faculty and students alike. A new spark seemed to grip the students as they became more interested in their grade point averages. And every so often, a student could lean back, give a sigh of relief and know that it was a New Year for Education. A New Year's 6 Academics In Academics 7 Some people will do anything to get out of work. Rachel Poindexter and Christina Gray try to make the funniest faces instead of doing their French. Taking the easy way out. Senior, Todd Blake, takes a snooze during Adult Roles. Leaving her mark. Scratching her initials into the desk, Barb Ketterman, keeps busy at doing anything besides her homework. 8 Classes A Class Act Students are the Masters of finding more ways of wasting time in class. The bell rings. Students race down the hall, sliding through the classroom door. Did you finish grading our tests yet? What? A test! We just finished a test. Can I go to my locker? What did they say about a surprise test? Finally the students shuffle to their seats. BANG! A book drops. BANG! A book drops. BANG! A book drops. In the back of the room, a compact is opened. Hair is fluffed, eyeliner is reap- plied. I want you to finish these work- sheets today for a review ' Do we use our own paper? Pen or pencil? Is this a test? No ' patiently. You don't need paper. I don't care, and no it isn't. Can I go to my locker? I forgot my pencil. Hey, what's today's date? Did you ever finish grading those tests? Turn to page 184. Page 84 ... I thought we were past page 84. Can go to my locker? brought my Geometry notebook by mistake. Meanwhile in the back of the room, five girls shake their legs in unison, causing the whole room to suffer a minor earthquake. Would you please stop shaking those legs? Who, us? CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! Somebody is flicking his BIC. A bent head concen- trates taiooing a desk for life with '7 was here! And just as the room quiets down . . . GROWL A hungry stomach cries out for lunch. Classes 9 Chewing on his pen, Rick McGee, senior, reads his driver's ed. book. It's not a Sunday drive. Driver's eduation student Carl Pinnell and Mrs. Pam Blumetto, teacher, get ready to leave for a lesson. Getting a chuckle out of life, Mr. Mike Withers, social studies teacher, holds a discussion with his junior class. Overheard Conversations And even telephone numbers can become sources of inspiration for students' poems Thrills and chills .. . Ac- tion and romance . . . Tears and laughter . . . Subjects of the latest movies? After spending an hour with Poet-in-Resident, Ms. Devon McNamara, eighth and tenth grade students discovered that anything can be interest- ing topics for poems. Have nothing better to do with your time than eaves- drop in on a con- versa- tion? Ms. McNa- mara showed how any student can turn it into a rather amusing, and at times, in- teresting poem. Read- ing from selected works of West Vir- ginian poets, Ms. McNa- mara demonstrated that poems can cover a wide range of topics. Finally it was time for the students to get down to work. Listening to the various comments around the room gave some stu- dents their source of in- spiration while others ex- perimented with syllables they got from their tele- phone numbers. After the session was done, almost every student was able to leave with two poems complet- ed. It was a little bit of perspi- ration and a whole lot of inspi- ration for the stud- ents. Ms. Devon McNamra reads some of her favorite poems. Sophomores listen to Ms. McNamara's poems, (center) while in eighth grade class she explains how to write a pantoum. Poetry 11 Going with the flow. Computer Science student Kim Smith tries to design a flow chart duiing class, while Lora Zukowski, center, puts the last touches on her art assignment.

A careful paint stroke and another student puts the finishing touches on her art work. Practicing nightly, band students work on perfect- ing their technique. More and more, stu- dents are turning to class- es that offer more hands- on experience. Many select these classes in hopes of pursuing a career in that field. Others select these classes bacause of the satisfac- tion of seeing a complet- ed work. For se- nior, Jua- nita Du- ley, she has taken her art class out of the class- room and now works on painting a mural on the wall at Flemington Elementary. Juniors and seniors trav- el daily to the United Ca- reer Center to attend classes that they hope will lead them to a job in the work force after graduation. With an eye to the fu- ture and a realization that the knowledge of com- puters is becoming a re- quirement in the job mar- ket, several students, like sophomore Tim Knotts, sign up for computer sci- ence classes. Whe- ther the class is program- ming, drafting, writing or playing music, students can get plenty of hands-on experi- ence. A bird's eye view. Mr. Donald Kenyon checks a computer program during class. Career - 13 Top Counselor Award. Mrs. E. Joy Lynch, counselor, receives special recognition from A.

James Manchin I used to whip you all the time. You're dreaming! I beat you! What do you mean? I used to stuff you in a big flower pot outside of the dining room. OK. Let's call it a draw. If this sounds like two old friends bragging about old times, then you're absolute- ly right. These two boys, however, who used to whip one an- other in college, are State Treasur- er, A James Manchin, and Prin- cipal Robert L. Shields. Shields, who used to think he easily plant- ed Man- chin while wrestling at WVU, received a tribute from his old friend. Manchin presented him a certificate honoring Shields as Administrator of the Year, as selected by the West Virginia Asso- ciation for Counseling and Development. He re- ceived this recognition for the implementation fo a comprehensive career education program at the school. After the presentation, which also included hon- oring Mrs. E. Joy Lynch as Counselor of the Year, for the '85 school term, Manchin went on to ad- dress the student body. Instead of 'whip- ping' his old school chum, Manchin set out to 'whip' the atti- tudes of the stu- dents. Don't moan and groan, he stated, when asked to stand up for America, be proud that you can stand. ''Whipping attitudes. A. James Manchin addresses the students. Special Honors 15 The Locker Game Students depend on lockers for everything - even homework High schools could not operate without them. They are often used and abused. They are often used as students' favorite excuse, Of course I have my homework, it's in my locker. Yes, lockers. Few teach- ers and principals realize that the classroom is not the center of the educa- tional system; lockers are. Lockers are responsible for more missing home- work pa- pers, missing text- books, and miss- ing li- brary books than any other place in school. Within a year's time, lockers have mysteri- ously eat- en over 252,000 A papers, that is if stu- dents' excuses are believed. For the student, lockers are more than a place to keep, (or hide), home- work. For the clever stu- dent, the locker becomes a reference library. In the bottom of the locker is the stolen thesaurus from Miss Paugh's room, the missing dictionary from Mr. Costello's room and the Dec. 5 issue of TIME from the library. Face it, for stu- dents, lockers are a class away from class. Character, that's what it takes to make a locker your own. Lockers 16 Digging through his' locker, freshman, Lee Welch, serches for his French assignment. Oops. Jammed with books and notebooks, Tina Blake, sophomore, tries to grab her notebook. Posters are not just for walls anymore. Tammy Fleming decorates her locker with a love poster. Academics 17 A New Year's Mondays dragged on forever. The clock ticked in slow motion. Nothing ever went right on Mondays. Tuesdays proved no better. Homework papers collected in the darkest corners of the lockers. Finally, Wednesdays appeared on the horizon. The world looked a little brighter. Brighter, that is, until Wednesday afternoons. As students made last minute checks of tomorrow's assignments, they discovered, to their dismay, that Thursday was test day. Almost every Thursday, the teachers planned tests. However, with the weekend approaching fast, the students went into Friday with a sigh of relief. Instead of discussing test and homework, the conversation turned toward the dance this week-end. Four-wheeling fun was planned by the junior high kids, while senior high planned trips to the mall. Finally, the week-end. Sleeping in, partying, fun. Time for a New Year's Bash as only students, freed from a five-day work week, can celebrate. 18 Student Life In Student Life Student Life 19 o way I can open my eyes.

Bad enough there is a Math quiz, but there is a Biology and a French test These teachers must get together and plan this. I can hear them now. Yeah, let's give them a test.

Before anyone entered the building, hours of planning and raising money went into the affair. How did the juniors feel about the results? Taammy Vincent, junior expressed an opinion agreed upon by the others. It was hard to believe it was the same place, she exclaimed. All of our hard work and sweat paid off.

A New Year's Finally, the last day arrived. I can't believe it's here, he thought, as he combed back a stray hair. Twelve years of school have come to an end. And with that ending came bitter-sweet memories. Growing up and being educated in a small school system, all the seniors knew one another like family. The parting would not be easy. On the horizon for others however, was a new life. A move out of state, a college dorm waiting for them, or perhaps a new family to start, all of these were possibilities. Just a few ceremonies stood between the seniors and freedom. Graduation, Senior Sermon, the Memorial Day parade. Soon, this class would be history, going out with a New Year's Bash! 36 People With Seniors People 37 Dream Vacation Turn to page 109 in your books and do review questions 1-14 The sound of 20 books opening and pages turning fills the room. One book refuses to open. The student sits staring into space, thousands of miles away. I can't wait for vacation time again. These tests are beginning to blow my mind. What would be ideal vacations for seniors. For Pat Fleming, resting beside the ocean in Mexico would be his dream. Florida, on the opposite coast, is John Kyle's idea. For the exotic tastes, Lorreta Ross would love to go to the Bahamas. So while classes were still going strong, seniors were going to, anywhere except the classroom. 38 Seniors Seniors showed their helping spirit as opposite page, Dora Holliday washes dishes in the kitchen, and David Davis fills the pop machine.

Grabbing top headlines was the Iran-Contra Scandal. Trading arms for American hostages enraged the American public. Gossip, one of America's favorite pasttimes, grabbed headlines, also, as the Christian community was rocked by the PTL scandal. TV evangelism would never be quite the same as the American public watched the “soap opera like proceedings. On a more serious note, terrorism and war made itself felt, as just days before Memorial Day, the US Stark was crippled by Iraqi warplanes in the Middle East.

Year after year I have gone through this. Finally my last year. Thirteen years of riding a school bus. There must be a better way! As the year rolls to an end, seniors turn to dreaming of their dream car. Sports cars hit the top of the list for Roberta Moore, who would love a red 'vette. For a slightly higher price tag, Julie Faulkiner dreams of a black Porsche. Or for something that really sticks out a pink Trans-Am driven by Dora Holliday. A little more practical is Denise Upton's red and black Fiero. Whether classy or cool, seniors dream machines are often just that as they go to the local used car lot with their dad to pick out their dream car. Steve Gallo ll Cynth Tamela Gaines Jodi Glaspell Patrick Fleming 40 Seniors Social Issues Social issues were also discussed in classes. Perhaps the most important issue of the year, as well as the decade, was the AIDs scare. The growing epidemic increased the people's fear. Crack, a yuppie drug was on the upswing, creating a different sort of epidemic. On the lighter side, the Terminator, Arnold Schwartzenegger married Maria Shriver and the movie Platoon, became an overnight hit.

Not just a job but a dream job. Every senior dreams of the ideal job. A lot of money, glamorous living, a big office, prestige. Seniors wish for them all. It ranges from a fashion designer with Denise Upton to a computer programmer with David Davis. However, all of them know to reach that dream there is a lot of work first. Taking classes in their field of interest, whether at a career center or at school is the first order of business. After graduation, then more decisions, college, technical training, or on-the-job training. Tom Spencer Denise Upton Dream Job 43 A New Year's Fads. Every week a new fad started. At the beginning of the year, it started with hair styles. The shaved look was in for both guys and girls. Students came to school thoroughly moussed. Then, to the dismay of the faculty, the mini-skirt reappeared, except shorter and tighter than ever before. Tennis shoes, in a variety of styles and colors were seen everywhere. No student could be complete if they were not strutting down the hall to their favorite groups. The year of hard rock returned with music by Bon Jovi and Cinderella. Every day ushered in a New Year for fads. 44 People The People Way People 45 For those students who refuse to follow the crowds Fads are a BIG No-No! Mountaineer spirit. It breeds independence and a sense of free-spirit in its citizens. This sense of independence also carries over into the students' sense of fashion. The majority of students are not a “slave to the coming-and- going of fads. Instead, they will often wear their own style with a flair that no fad can imitate. Bright colors, flashy jewelry, and spiked hair are in; however, most prefer their own natural style to that of designers. Unpredictable mountain weather dictates fashion. In the middle of a deep-freeze, when there is a twenty- minute wait for the bus, spiked heels and mini-skirt are definite no's. During the hot, muggy days of June, cool and comfortable beat out fashion every time. 46 People We're now seniors, announced Junior President, Sam Olivio, to the audience during Awards Day. Bright colors and prints were part of the fashion scene. Cathy Lipscomb, freshman, brightens the halls in her print. Independence 47 Students favor an old fashion favorite of their parents. Moody Blues The look is still fresh today, yet it has the appeal of tradition. Whether they are worn to school, a dance or just around the house, jeans remain a teen classic. They remain one of the most versatile garments for teens. When a pair wears out, they are not shipped to the Salvation Army, but often wind up as shorts or recycled into a goofing-off pair of jeans. They can't be called moody blues any more either. Jeans come in a rainbow of colors and styles. Pants are no longer the limit. Jeans can be found as mini-skirts, jackets and shirts. Even with today's style of bright and wild, jeans still remain the old faithful. 48 People No matter the weather, students kept comfortable in the heat, above, or in the cold, right. Call it S-T-Y-L-E. With wild looks and even wilder colors, junior, David Taylor, fights the summer heat. Below: Wearing a hit more subdued fashions are classmates Shirley Spears and Jed Chalfant.

No more would students be satisfied with their old canvas tennis shoes. Leather was it, and the wilder the color, the better. For some of the students the name of the shoe was more important than the color. Sporting such brands as Nike Reebok, and Addidas, Students wore their shoes with everything. Was it a special occasion, wear the black ones. Was it a formal occasion, wear the white ones. By the end of the year, the students have worn the soles off of more than 240 pair of shoes. It was a year with a lot of sole.

Hard rock is blaring from the car radios as students go cruising down the streets. More mellow music, like the Jets, is heard floating from bedrooms as students begin their homework. Occasionally, while walking down the hallway, the steady beat of those rapping boys, DMC, can be heard. 1987 introduced different sounds for the different range of tastes. For hard rock fans, the resurgence of such groups as Quiet Riot, Motley Crue and Ratt, and the introduction of new groups such as Poison, Bon Jovi, and Cinderella brought rock back to its roots. Female singers stole the stage from the usually male- dominated Top 40 with hits by artists like Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Tina Turner, being joined by newcomers like Janet Jackson and Lisa Lisa. Heartthrob music, with smooth lyrics and love, by groups such as the Jets, Air Supply and Chicago were listened to by girls who dreamed of romantic Top: Ready to break the sound barrier, Gore students, David Taylor and Steve Stewart, get ready to play music on the bus ride to UCC.

The latest fad in hair styles seem to be based on Geometry. Weird angles, arrows shaved onto the sides of scalps, and 'V designs cut onto the back of the hair. Who follows these latest styles? During the basketball season, the team made a statement by close cropping and cutting designs into their hair. Shave According the the varsity players, it helped unify them into one unit. On the other hand, girls stayed with the style that seemed to flatter them. Most wore their hair naturally, (with the help of a curling iron). Some, however, broke out of the mold, and tried a totally different New Wave style with the geometrical cuts and spiked tops.

Hair 55 Teachers' struggle for quality education leads to a year of frustration Boy, I wish 1 had a job like yours, mumbled the student, as he sat taking a test. How many times have teachers heard these very words spoken. Ideas of an easy life and easy answers came to the public minds, as teachers struggled to bring state-wide attention to the plight of education in West Virginia. The year seemed one of constant struggle, as teachers picketed, wrote letters, and even voted on a strike. Double-talk by the state legislature and an uncertain budget frustrated them at every turn.

So 1 figure if I'm there at 8:00 I won't have to call the game. I drive up, hide among a group of women talking, just sit down only to hear my name called. Great. I purposefully come late, but wouldn't you know it, they waited for me. I really don't want to do this. Why me? Every game, referees get called upon to fill in for a absent ref. It's often hard to sneak into one game, just to enjoy the sport. Many ask themselves, Why do I do this to myself? I hate getting run over by people, getting cussed out by fans and not getting much pay. But I still do it. I must love sports or something. I promise myself this is the last time. Until next game, right? Or maybe next year . . . 60 Athletics sjjods u| Basketball Blues Oh no! They look like football players! I hope we don't get creamed. Coach, is it too late to tell them they've come to the wrong school? Maybe we can play their cheerleaders instead. Members of the '87 Lady Hounds are: Brenda Williams, Vickie Ball, Chris Gray, Kristy Ross, Tina Spencer, Coach Rod Auvil, Karen Jones, Shannon Saltis, Lisa Marks, Marsha Wiseman, and Tina Gray. The fast break gets sophomore Tina Spencer, away from R-W players, while (center) Shannon Saltis attempts to block a pass. They felt many games should have been won. I thought for sure that we should have beat Liberty at home. We were so close to winning, but we just could not hold on, stated sophomore, Tina Spencer. With a 6-15 record, the girls season wasn't anything to boast about. Even though the Lady Hounds scored an average of 40 points per game, they were able to hold their opponents to 45 points, a statistic that shows the games were much better than the record shows. Many players didn't expect a great season. With a young, inexperienced team, . . . this year helped us to prepare for next year, explained freshman, Tina Gray. 62 Athletics Reaching for new heights. Forward, Kristy Ross, just misses getting the rebound. Checkin' it out. Brenda Williams, guard tests the R- W defense. Girls Sports 63 Watching closely. As the game wears down toward the final minutes, the coa- ch and team grow restless. 64 Athletics Not Just A Jock A dress? Where's the tennis shoes and jogging pants? She looks more like a cheerleader! Are you sure she plays basketball? At one time, only the most dedicated of girl jocks ever tried out for sports. However, sports have lost that image and more high school girls are participating in sports. Today's girl athletes are changing the stereotype of being the typical dumb jock. Unlike a few years ago, girl athletes are not spending every minute of the day trying to improve their game. After a full day of school and a two-hour practice, they then go home to hit the books and spend time trying to relax. To prove the point that the girls team is not a bunch of dumb jocks, together they have a 3.5 grade point average, proving that brains and teamwork go together. Basketball 65 A Hard-Knock Year A 6-15 season . . . We're young . . . but we can't use that as an excuse ' States new basketball coach Overcoming a block, freshman David Mullan shoots for two. Attack. Tom Spencer, senior, struggles for ball control against an Irish defense man. When a coach is building for the future, a well-played game is often more important than a win, according to Coach Frank Heddrich. Heddrich, new basketball coach at Flemington, faced several obstacles as he took over the reigns. First he discovered that he had a young and inexperienced team with one senior, three juniors, three sophomores and five freshmen. Youth also contributed to the lack of consistency among the players. However, the young team showed promise. The boys proved to be aggressive players, with a never-give- up attitude. This attitude became important in such games as the Harman game. With seven points down, less than two minutes left, the team tied to go into overtime, and then pulled ahead for a three-point win. 66 Athletics Up for grabs. Left, Jason Courtney and J.J. Jones make a dash for a loose ball, while below, much more subdued, J.J. concentrates on sinking his foul shot. Getting physical, Jason Courtney and David Mullan fight their way to the open for the ball, while left, Kevin Cottrill fights to maintain control of the ball against an Irish defender.

Center: Nothing can stop him now, as Marty McCloy, junior, goes up for two against an East Preston guard. Bottom: Greyhound senior, Greg Mayle, goes up for two. 68 Athletics A Hard Knock Year Tough and aggressive, the team made a lot of mistakes but the future looks bright. As mid-season approached, Heddrich began to notice a change in his young team. In spite of a 67- 49 loss to Central Preston, he saw enough good things to believe they were ready to turn around the season. “My freshmen are maturing a little, he explained. We had the capabilities of beating this team. One of the problems plaguing the team was a very sluggish start during the second half. Being an aggressive team also caused its share of problems. With four starters fouling out, and no bench left for substitutes, Heddrich had to make a difficult decision during the Coalton game. Sending in a non-roster player caused a technical foul. However, the decision proved right, as Flemington managed to hold on for a 72-69 win. 5345wast Presto i19jSSron basketball 6',s SEASON •-«TO� -- 59 SS' Coalton SEX � 43' Zf antral F -asr 59 Hundred 5°8NmceroDnme Giving a few pointers, Coach Frank Heddrick, instructs the team during a time-out.

The 1- 19 record of the Greyhounds suffered pitching problems with three inexperienced freshmen pitchers and inconsistent batting from everybody on the team. Baseball coach, Rod Auvil, said, “We didn't take a serious approach or have a positive attitude toward this year's season.'' Part of this was attributed to too much “horseplay during practice and games. “Our inexperience caused our errors, continued Auvil, and when we played an errorless game, we won, and that was the only game we won. This one win occurred against the Coalton Bearcats, with the score 9-1. 70 Athletics The ball goes flying as J.J. Jones takes a good swing. C-R-A-C-K.

My first time as a cheerleader. I hope I don't forget the cheers. Above: Enthusiastic! The cheerleaders try to make the pep rally a memorable one. Right: Topping it off. J.V. and varsity cheerleaders get together to perform a pyramid for the last game of the season. Practices after school. Long bus rides. Sore muscles and sprains. Doesn't sound like a glamorous job, however, this is the routine that cheerleaders must follow from early September until March. Then, in April, it begins all over again with try-outs. The season was not without its disappointments, since both varsity squads had losing seasons. But it was not without its funny moments either. One embarrassing moment occurred over a misunderstanding. When Kim Smith, captain, started a floor cheer, all six began a different cheer. After nights of practice, the squad finally felt confident to perform a pyramid at the Notre Dame game only to have it completely collapse under them. It proved to be a roller-coaster year for the squad. 72 Athletics Cheerleaders 73 Future Fitness Buy ya' a pop if we don't have any exercises today! No! Come on teach', let's vote Batter up. Greg Mayle concentrates on batting against Notre Dame, while, cheerleaders add excitement to the game of basketball. This is just an everyday gym class. Students trying to bribe their way out of exercises. However, physical education is not just for jocks anymore. With a new fitness boom, more students are beginning to appreciate the exercises and sports taught in these required classes. Presently, phys. ed. classes are required for only one year. Disagreeing with this is Coach Rod Auvil. They, (the students), should have it two of the four years. he stated. Mrs. Pam Blumetto, gym teacher, also agreed, pointing out that it is . . . important every year to keep muscles toned and to keep in shape. 74 Sports Driving for the basket, Tina Spencer dodges a St. Francis player.

All of them looking right at you. You sweat. You stutter. Nerves have struck again. Whether it is giving a speech, doing a demonstration or just talking aloud in class, nerves always have a way of getting you. Even though it is natural, it is still hard to control the sweating hands, the shaking voice. Nervous people always envy those who talk freely in front of a group.

Perhaps one of the biggest honors in junior high is winning a place in the Golden Horseshoe Test given by Mr. Mike Withers. This test, designed to test students' knowledge of West Virginia history claimed three winners, Jennifer Barney, Laura Hayes and Charlene Tyson. West Virginia University held a Science Semimar for outstanding students and attending were Jennifer Barney and Liz Reed. Poetry workshop, presented by Ms. Davon McNamara, was held in Miss Mary Ellen Paugh's English classes. Academics offered challenges and excitement for junior high.

The team, defeated in every game, nevertheless showed a lot of strength for next year. With most of the squad returning and new talent coming up, Coach Shaffer hopes to look forward to “winning some games next year. The girls squad fared better than the boys, winning five games out of the 16-game schedule. It got off to a shaky start with an inexperienced team hitting the floor. The highlight of the season occurred during the final game of the season, with an overtime victory against Grafton. Season Woes LTop center: What action!

Dances give the students time with each other and other students. Movies are big on Friday and Saturday nights. Groups of friends get together and attend movies like Mannequin, Platoon and Top Gun.

For others, it was a relaxing time, no exams, just farewells, handing in books and cleaning out lockers. For the seniors, their farewells took place May 31, as they received their diplomas. All of the rites of spring have been completed. The junior-senior Prom, the skip day, the senior trip. And now graduation. The halls seemed deserted the following Monday, as the junior class took over the role of being the head of the school. Immediately, they started making plans on how they were going to go out in a blaze of glory when they were seniors. 88 Closing Corning To An End i vj m • y'tb r Closing 89 215 East Main St. 842-2511 Service . . .
