Family Ties It’s an old school. Once inside, it’s easy to realize the school is steeped in tradition. Class composite pictures line the hallway dating from 1928. With a little time and care, students can of- ten find a grandparent, frozen in time, a teen, just like them. Farther down the hall, trophy cases brag of past glories. Pride. It takes on a different meaning in an old high school. A ‘family’ atmosphere surrounds the school and its students. For some the school has been in their families for generations. With the ’80’s however, a new type of pride is erupting. Banners and signs decorate the halls, pro- claiming spirit and pride for teams, classes or special events. According to Mrs. Pat Walls, teacher, “School doesn’t have to be all work, students are always show- ing spirit and pride...it sometimes gives us a break.” ,jH Born in Italy, Mr. Jerry Octave speaks to French classes during Foreign Language week. West Virginia is a true melting pot, with various nationalities moving to the Mountain State. A A. Anybody should be proud of their heritage. You have no control how you’re brought into the world. I’m proud of how the Italian heritage helped to contribute to the American Society. They have contributed to the arts. Our wine, food and 60% of the Eng- lish language are of Italian influ- ence. The country of Italy has stood the test of time.. Civilization has its roots in that part of Europe. ■Mr. Jerome Octave, teacher Student Life 11

Weekend R R What do kids do on the weekends? Randy Saltis, freshman, and Tina Spencer, junior, both agree that, “ the weekend is a good time to recover from a hard week of teachers and home- work. Richard Greathouse, junior, decided that, “people who think weekends are for jobs and chores, are only kidding themselves.” On weekdays, everything is rush, rush, rush. There never seems to be time to just sit down and rest. Week- ends, however, senior, Carl Pinnell- ,stated “ everyone seems to be taking it easy, enjoying the fun while it lasts.” “Wait a minute,” sophomore, Linda Wilson, disagreed, “ Remember, you have to party once in a while, why not on the weekends?” Saturday Night is reserved for dances. Senior Carl Pinnell, en- joys himself, showing off his moves. Catching up on sleep, Tina Spencer decides to just sleep her day’s away. 12 Student Life
