Controversy raged, as many voiced discontent over the change. “I can’t carry all these books around!” and “I don’t have time to study all this stuff tonight!” were common laments as students shouldered their burden of books or tried t o stuff them in overcrowded lockers. A longing for the good ole block system was evident in student comments. (1) A new principal, Mr. James Wilson and a new band director, Mr. Kenneth Smith seem pleased with the new facilities in the field house building just com¬ pleted. (3) All decked out, the band struts its’ stuff during the Peanut Festival Parade. (4) Cheerleader sponsor, Ms. Harrison and Mr. Wilson display the “Eagle Country” bumper stickers. (5) New school secretary, Mrs. Wilhoit, performs her duties. That’s J. Greening, R. Krienbaum and A. Edwards getting late passes. (6) Squaws Liz Healy and Melody Holt, representing the Southampton Indians, get sym¬ bolically bounced by the team at the pep rally. An Eagle victory brought a terrific boost to the school spirit. (7) J. Richardson, J. Morgan and F. Turner append the new bumper stickers — proclaim¬ ing G.C.H.S. as Eagle Country. (8) The print shop goes to press in new quarters having moved from the trailer into the former Industrial Arts Shop. That’s Mr. Edmonds instructing Joyce Turner. (9) I.C.T. students Sylvia Moody and William look into future careers via new microfish machine. T OoycE 5 May-Day, Eats, Feats and Track Meets The spring calendar filled up with an accelera¬ tion of student activities. After the success of the winter carnival in the gym, the SCA sponsored a combined spring carnival and May Day celebra¬ tion, giving clubs a chance to set up game booths and concession stands. 1. Announcing the track events was Darnell Tucker. 2. Selecting something for the “sweet tooth”, Donnie Usher and Sylvia Moody line up for sweets from the sweet Sandra Chandler, the Candy-Woman. 3. Did Chris Kempf hit the bucket? 4. William King (for is it King Wil¬ liam) counts the number of overhead lifts per¬ formed by Danny Moore. 5. Sitting in the sun, stu¬ dents enjoyed the time out of class but did not par¬ ticipate enough to make the carnival a financial success. The GCHS track team participated in the state meet held at James Madison University and made a good showing. Larry Wyche, Chuckie Barnes, Marvin Brown and Anthony Smith came in 3rd place in the mile relay. These four along with Brad¬ ley Smith were members of the 4-40 relay Champi¬ onship Team. Under Coach Aiken, and Assistant Coach Edwards, track was a major sport. STATE 4-40 RELAY CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM: Front — Anthony Smith, Chuckie Barner, Back — Larry Wyche, Marvin Brown and Bradley Smith.

Graduation in the Spring Graduating seniors wondered when Diploma Day” would really be. Printed invitations announced June 6th but by hav¬ ing classes Easter week, usually snow-make-up or spring break, time was so gained and the end of school was set up to May 30th. Heavy rains descended the day before commence¬ ment and forboding skies brought a transfer of the ceremonies from the football field to the Emporia Elementary School Auditorium. Faculty, for the first time marched in full academic regalia and were seated on the stage. After an ad¬ dress by Dr. Alex James former president of Virginia Union University, now with the State Department of Education, one hundred sixty-six students were graduated.

Lookin’ good was not only the G.C.H.S. football team but also the G.C.H.S. halls, as Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores decked their portion. (2) Seniors put up balloons and streamers at the front entrance hall. All the classes created clever and colorful “promenade places.” First place went to the Sophomores. (3) The best-dressed of the “country and western day” showed- off on Wednesday. The football team was honored Thursday at lunch and that night at the bonfire.

Image; Football Cartoons Depict Tough Ole Bird Ready for Any Adversary; Pep Rallies Rouse School Spirit Acting as a barometer for school spirit, the first pep rally set the stage for the elation that was felt when the Eagles were victorious over old arch rival, the Southampton In¬ dians in the very first game of the season. This made the news media and was the topic of conversation for some time as the Eagles continued to battle towards the District Championship. Rousing pep rallies, skits and hall posters all contributed to the anticipation of every game and each victory brought a new high in school spirit. For the first time in several years, the Eagles put it all together to bring home two trophies to proud, supporting fans. 4 WRf PAtrlfvL (1-6) Tommy Doyle uses his talents to spur on Eagle spirit.

Self-Discipline Pays Off As Eagles Become District Champions The wings of a new decade brought a winning attitude to the Greensville “Eagle” football program. Leadership provided by 13 T.D., 1100 yard rusher, Marvin Brown, sparked a star-studded offensive unit to 231 points scored, while a stubborn defensive corps allowed only 45 points to their opponents, and the “Eagles” flew to an 8 and 2 regular season mark and their first Southside District Championship since 1969. The success enjoyed during the 1980 season boosted school and community in¬ terest, not only in football but, in the entire GCHS athletic program. In spite of losing 17 outstanding seniors, winning football has definitely returned to Greensville County and even bigger things are forseen for the “Eagles” in the future. Eaglettes Strive Under New Coach Eaglettes were spirited throughout the whole season this year. Even wi games thisyear. the teamed show great sportsmanship. Even though the potential was seen in all of the players. Looking forward to the 1981 seasoi ed 2nd team all district.

Basketball Season entered the Southside District with Coach Henry “Hank” Atkins. Early season saw the Eagles at defeat 60-61 by Gumberry squad. On the next contest, it was an impressive victory (74- 43) over Randolph Henry. The Eagles looked ahead to travel Route 58 for a major upset against Southampton which resulted in a 36-48 defeat. The rematch was convincing as the Eagles “stormed” the In¬ dians 44-30. One of the most impressive victories came months later when the Eagles had a rematch with Bluestone who had a 9 game winning streak. The streak burned out as the Eagles kept the fans on their feet. The Eagles closed the “book” with a 61-60 victory as pay back from a 47-69 whipping.

Bird of Chesterfield County but played in the Southside District Tourna¬ ment held at Brandermill Golf Club in Richmond, plac¬ ing sixth. Freshman Vincent Belmonte qualified for the regional tournament played on the Suffolk Municipal Golf Course and he proved our players could compete with the regions best by firing a 94 on the very difficult Suffolk layout.

Since SCA elections had not been held in the spring, the first 1980-81 SCA activity was the election of officers. Two slates of officers qualified — one headed by Pete Gibson and the other by Darnell Tucker. Darnell’s slate was victorious. (1) The Installation Ceremony was held on September 26, 1980, with SCA co-sponsor Mr. F.D.O. Black presiding and (2) Mr. Robert C. Wrenn, Clerk of the County Court, delivering the address and installing the new president, Darnell Tucker. Darnell then installed the other officers in turn.

That, with added research involving student statistics and mounting duties the Guidance together manages to put it all together. They set up testing schedules for SRA, PSAT, SAT, ASVAB, GATB, and competencies in American History and Government. Interpretation of scores was a useful tool in career planning as was the College Day Program. (1). Joan Wyatt and Laura Carroll listen to College Day representatives. (2).

(Anyone need a current event? — a book report? — or a biographical sketch of Anton Fuechtwanger? Col. Sanders may have made millions with his Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe — but just think how much has been made on the hot dog! Glad they didn’t call it the Anton Fuetchtwanger dog.)

Beta Club Honors Achievement The Beta Club is a non-profit leadership-service organization for high school students. Its purpose is to stimulate effort, reward achievement, and encourage its members to continue their education after high school. To be tapped into the Greensville Co. Beta Club, a student must have a worthy character, a commendable attitude, and a minimum grade point average of 3.2. The Beta Club decorates the school Christmas tree each year. Also, the members look forward to going to state convention each year. This year, the Beta Club cooked a mud¬ dle to raise the money that would enable them to go to convention. This year’s was held March 20-22 in Norfolk. lift «% v 51 The Officers of the 1980-81 Beta Club are Albert Delbridge, treasurer; Gene Doyle, vice presi¬ dent; Marian Selby, president; Kim Jones, secretary; and Tim¬ my Richardson, parliamentarian.

Book reports, written and oral, essays and research papers all developed com¬ munication skills but it was in literature that the students were exposed to a sharpened perception of every facet of human nature as revealed in Shakespeare’s plays and the writings of other recognized authors from the ancient Greeks to the modern existentialists. The Humanities Department lost the art corollation enjoyed last year under Mrs. Sant but gained Mrs. Price as a new team teacher. Mr. Kempf substituted for Mrs. Scott during her leave of absence and sent the students on a fact finding foray. It’s a good thing that some products are not named for their inventor. How would you like to ask for a Feuchwanger instead of a hot dog? Ferreting out unusual facts, satisfying an academic curiosity rather than just fulfilling a re¬ quired assignment are the “Hallmarks of Scholarship.” J 5 (1) Mr. Segedy and Bradley Smith go over a passage.

French and Spanish Classes Sing for Christmas Program Foreign Language Classes were not all drill and exercises. As Christmas approached sounds of “Feliz Navidad”, “Noch Le Paz”, “Vive le Vent” and “Les Anges dan’s Nos Campagnes” in French were heard coming from Room 111 as classes practiced for the Christmas concert under the direction of Mrs. Povar.

Mr. Segedy and a group of interested students proved that it could be done. Meeting after school, this volunteer group rehearsed the old favorite, “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens and came up with an entertaining and hilarious version to which the student body audience readily related. Michael Stephens, as Scrooge, “stole the show” with his characteriza¬ tion of a modern day black miser. Colette McBeth gave a strong per¬ formance as Marley’s ghost, The Spirit of Christmas Past, and Pre¬ sent. She also played the part of Scrooge’s nephew’s wife. Bertha Hicks was the Ghost of Christmas Future. Many of the cast doubled up on the parts — John Manson as Bob Cratchit and Mr. Fizzywig, Robert Boone as a Gentleman and Peter Cratchit, Molly Carroll was Mrs. Cratchitt, Liz Healy was Tiny Tim and a “boy.” Belinda and Martha Cratchit were Wendy Dobie and Bertha Hicks. Karl Owens was Fred, Scrooge’s nephew. Throughout the action, a props crew did a superb job of changing the sets for each scene before our eyes. The putting together of the simplified scenery on the gym floor without a stage or lighting was an ingenius bit of planning which in itself should be recognized as quite an accomplishment. The changes were not obtrusive, everything fell into place with precision and the pace of the play continued smoothly to a happy ending. It was a memorable happening — thanks to the efforts of a small group who cared enough to try something which had never been done here before. Augmenting the Christmas mood was the traditional band concert with the added attraction of Mr. Wilson reading “T’was the Night Before Christmas,” accompanied by the concert band under the direction of Mr. David Smith. (1) Carols too, filled the air in French and Spanish taught in Foreign Language classes by Mrs. Povar. G.C.H.S. was the scene of Christmas spirit visibly present.

The Forensic Club barely got started before Mrs. Scott, sponsor, took leave of absence for two months, but the group rallied in time to get to the Regional Meet held at Longwood College, February 5. Travelling in cars driven by Mrs. Scott and Mr. Segedy, nine students brought in a second place showing for G.C.H.S. and a number of them will go on to the State competition. Laura Carroll, a sophomore, placed first in extemporaneous speaking. Gene Doyle won a first place award in spelling. Chris Harrison won 2nd place in boys prose reading; Bobby Boone won 2nd place in boys poetry reading; David Wyatt won 2nd place in boy’s original oratory; Tina Brown won 3rd place in girl’s poetry; Rose Butts won 3rd place in girl’s prose; Kim Jones won 3rd place in girl s original oratory; and John Manson won 4th place in boy’s extemporaneous. 43 Social Studies Department Sponsors History Club, Encourages Voter Registration In Social Studies classes which include World History, American History, Government, and Citizenship participation was the key to learning. Keeping up on current events, research for speeches and debates, projects which included Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts, made these courses pleasant and palatable. Government students eager¬ ly helped out at the polls November 4, and Mr. Lee’s and Mrs. Price’s classes sponsored a mock presidential election at which Mr. Theodore Burr, representing the Republican platform and Mr. Wade Ferguson, representing the Democratic platform gave speeches at a school assembly and answered questions. At a poll taken of the student body, incumbent President Carter was the winner but in the actual election, Mr. Reagan won by a landslide. Eleventh graders found themselves taking competency tests in American History and seniors in Government for the first time as a pilot study for the State Board of Education. The History Club, sponsored by the Department planned a series of mini-seminars for all students in school. A Parliamentary Procedure Clinic was conducted by Mr. Kientz in two sessions attended each time by approximately forty students. Sherrie Black from Nottoway High School gave instruction in Self Defense. Other programs were Personal Development by Mrs. Price, Good Sportsmanship by Mrs. Harrison, Student Rights by Mr. Lee, Religious Toleration by Mrs. Moore, a forum on “The Flag — Why Salute?”, a speaker from the Embassy of Israel and movies after school for Black History Week.

On the appointed Saturday in March, busloads of students from every school in the district traveled to St. Paul’s College in Lawrenceville where tests determined the top students in the various categories , who would go on to the state conference which alternates between Virginia State I University or Hampton Institute. Before the energy crunch, other field trips were a part of the club activities. Most students would agree that the trips by bus to these campuses were both fun and learning experiences.

In these business classes the students learn much of what they need to know about office practices and procedures. They learn also how to efficiently operate the latest office equipment and gain some of the experience needed to enter the work world. Take dictation at 100 w.p.m., and type at 70 w.p.m. are some of the accomplishments of the hardworking group making up the F.B.L.A. Under the direction of Mrs. Meirs, Mrs. Pugh, Mrs. Ben¬ nett, and Mrs. Martin, students work hard during the school year to get their business practices to their peak. In March they take their hard-worked-for-talents to the F.B.L.A. Convention at Virginia State to compete among other business students. In between all the hard work the F.B.L.A. members find plenty of time for fun. They showed their respect and pride for their schoolthis year by cleaning up the football field after each home game, and they celebrated Christmas with a fun packed Christmas party. These students are so proud of their organization that they signify it with a Business Dress Up Day each Thursday. (1) Billie Kay Wendell and Mrs. Bennett work closely on FBLA business.

Art Classes Work Towards Bicentennial Exhibit The art program has undergone many changes during the past decade. During the early “70’s” there were three teachers and art corrolation in the Humanities. Now there is one teacher who is further handicapped by the change from the two period block which is ideal for studio classes to six short periods and a tremen¬ dous storage problem for the work done by the doubled student enrollments. Art students enjoyed making Christmas ornaments, sending over a hundred glittered and glued angels, wisemen, creche figures to the Avis B. Adams Christian Con¬ valescent Center so that every patient would have one. Exploration of the local scene was part of the bicentennial emphasis as advanced students painted houses, and studied architectural styles. The predominately OPT beginning classes studied the elements of art structure. All worked towards bicentennial- related projects for the May exhibition. (1) David Clarke works on a football poster. (2) Mrs. Manson checks on Alan William’s “acrylic” painting of Spring Hill. (3) Michelle Maryland works on color exercises. (4) Janeen Epps paints a pic¬ ture of Butt’s Tavern.

In this day of women’s lib, the men are going to have to know the prac¬ tical aspects of homemaking whether the future holds a bachelor apart¬ ment or a vine-covered cottage where the wife has a job outside the home. This year, two male students enrolled in the Consumer and Homemaking Class and have kept up with the girls in sewing, home nursing, and child development, home management, energy conservation, foods and nutri¬ tion units; who knows, they may even make a career in the field of home- economics. Clothing occupation classes learned to operate industrial sewing machines, make clothes, learned alterations and repair, fibers and weaves. They repaired the foot¬ ball jerseys for the team. The FHA Club made their annual trip to States fair in Richmond last fall. They sold candy apples at Homecoming, and sold Eagle key rings. They attended a leadership workshop at Bluestone Middle School and the State FHA con¬ ference. Other projects were to make and sell chocolate Easter eggs to raise money for a trip to King’s Dominion. 51 5 ICT VIC A Coordinates on the Job Training {) ||: I The I.C.T. Program is an on-the-job training program. Every student must have a job within the community. The I.C.T. program builds strong ties between the school and the community. I.C.T. students are also members of the VICA Club. The club works toward ser¬ ving the community and preparing its members for leadership in the world of work. (1) Shown below is Hillary Parrish after winning third place in Prepared Speech District Competi¬ tion. The competition was held at L.C. Bird High School in Richmond, VA. Other VICA members are Ned Pearson, Dana Smith, Kelli Allen, and Raymond Bell. (2) I.C.T. -— VICA member, William King, is shown stirring the chicken mud¬ dle sold by the VICA Club.

Mr. Santee Thomas, principal of V.T.C., pauses in his paper work — momentarily. Vocational Technical Center i Drafting, Building Trades Classes Teach Skills Needed for Service Jobs In a technological society which stresses higher education and college degrees, it is increasingly difficult to get a plumber, electrician or mason to take care of household emergencies which arise when the products of technology break down and need repair. Vital to our future is a reassessment of attitude towards jobs re¬ quiring skilled labor. To be realistic, not just nostalgic, we need to develop an ap¬ preciation for and acknowledge the dignity of doing labor with one’s hands as did our forebearers whose energy and work ethic built our nation. We will never outgrow the need for building, repairing and maintain¬ ing the labors of man.

Elimination of Journalism Class Works Hardship on Eagle ' 81 Production people” sighed Mrs. Manson as students in art class and annual staffers in art office all clamored for help. Without a class which could be graded for what they did on the yearbook, with the demands of a new publishing company, and the frustration of missed deadlines due to late delivery of — and lost pictures, the pressures built up. “Nevermore” muttered Mrs. Manson as she and co-editors Shelby Crickenberger and Colette McBeth struggled to meet the final deadline. Without the Journalism class whose two- hour block gave students time to go out dur¬ ing school hours to solicit ads, draw layouts, and type copy, the volunteer staff dwindled to too few who were faithful to the end. Only half the number of ads were sold. Many businesses weren’t even contacted. Staff who came to work from study halls found Mrs. Manson dealing with difficulties derived from the demise of the block system — add¬ ed art classes, too short a time to complete studio activities, storage problems for stu¬ dent work left behind. “I should be two (1) Lynette Turner, Sales Manager, and Cheryl Tuell sell a subscription to Janet Greene.

One of the recommendations from the state evaluation last year was that the heavy presses should be on a cement floor. The trailer floor was no longer considered safe to bear all the ad¬ ditional weight of new machinery which had been added during the past decade. An apparent drawback was that the trailer temperature was kept at a level year-round, due to air condition¬ ing. The shop is a much larger area to air condition, a necessity to keep film and chemicals at the correct temperature — and a problem yet to be solved. Meanwhile, the presses have been roll¬ ing out football programs, special assembly programs, Thanksgiving and Christmas programs, school brochures, P.T.A. notices, letterheads, envelopes, and tickets. Placemats and notecards designed for Mrs. Manson for the Greensville Historical Society were a part of the school’s cooperation with the community in the Bicentennial celebration. r ! i i 71 i ! t A; 1 fl t; , I ( (1) Mr. Edmonds shows Karl Owens and Mamie Ricks how to operate the computer type-setter.

I960 - AUGUST 7.1977 ■ ’CU S ' ■ J 1 Association A plaque in memory of Mark A. Harris was installed in the front hall of G.C.H.S. last summer by the Muscular Dystrophy Association. It had been three years since Mark rolled up the ramp and down the front hall on his electric wheel chair. Maintaining Honor Roll grades through the eleven years in the Greensville County Schools. It was most fitting that a scholarship be awarded in his honor. The first scholarship was given to ’80 graduate Will Vassor. From three candidates NOMINATED by the Senior class Harold Chesnut was voted to receive the Honor of the DAR AWARD after all the speeches were given by the nominees who told of their communi¬ ty service. Harold also attended the Model Executive Government Con¬ ference, July 6-10 at the University of Richmond to learn about state government. He was chosen to play the role of Governor at the Conference. Every summer outstanding stu¬ dents from Virginia High Schools are selected to attend a month of classes on three college campuses — Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Mary Baldwin Col¬ lege in Stannton or Randolph Mason Women’s College in Lynchburg, where the Governor’s School for the GIFTED is held.

Awards Three New Members Added to School Board During ' 80- ' 81 After much controversy over the method of appointment of school Board members, a referendum November 4, voted out the electoral Board and placed the responsibility into the hands of the Board of Supervisors. The Electoral Board had first appointed Mr. Keith Mitchell, editor of the In¬ dependent Messenger to replace Mr. T. J. Barrett. Then, after Mr. Mitchell was seated on the Board and voted on vital issues such as changing the block system successfully implemented at the two high schools cooperating with the Vo-Tech during the past decade, it was found that due to residence, Mr. Mitchell was ineligible. Then the Electoral Board appointed Mr. Mike Ferguson. After the settling of the county-city suit whereby the city paid Greensville $680,950 for the city’s share of the cost of operating local schools, two school board seats to give the city representation on the School Board were given to Mrs. Connie Drake Wilson and Mr. Allen Sharette bringing the total number on the combined board to six members.

Classes at Vo-Tech were still 2 hour blocks but classes at the high schools reverted back to the traditional fifty minute periods presenting problems in the shuttle and the shuffle of students back and forth. With new principal, Mr. Wilson, and the efforts of Guidance the conversion to the 6 period day was completed for school opening — to a year of new schedules, new principal, new secretary — and new adjustments.

These may be your average students, but they show qualities which make them individual people. With all the clubs and activities which are offered, every person has his her choice as to which one he she will choose. As it was once said, “The world may be divided into people that read, people that write, people that think,” and us. I’m just happy that no two people are just alike, because that cer¬ tainly would be a dull world and a dull school. Final Days at G.C.H.S. Bring Mixed Emotions The class of “81,” on its last leg of a 12 year relay, thinks not only of the future and its potential but reminisces on the years past. The anticipation of graduating from student to in¬ dependent gives the thrill of a challenge as well as fear of uncertainties in coping with the world beyond the walls of GCHS. These young people will probably experience the most drastic changes of their lives in the next two to four years. Finding oneself in a cold work-day world, beginning college in a strange environment, or possibly settling down and marrying is in the minds of each and every senior. The excitement will build as the last days of school draw near. But the final day will bring out emotions and feelings never before en¬ countered. This is a once in a lifetime ex¬ perience — GRADUATION. � ■ ’ P� T[‘ 4sjB‘S f 1 r| i nl Below the 1981 Senior Class Officers are shown: President Harold Chestnut, V.

Standing — Mrs. Russell, and Mrs. Miers decided to brave us. And they sang “Allaluhya’ ” when the year finally ended. Reinforced by the Though small in numbers, with only eighty-seven of the class posing for portraits, the Juniors were a spirited minority. In a class which under the block system had traditionally fewer numbers due to many electing to graduate early. The class should grow in numbers under the six period system. Bearing the burden of the entire cost for the Junior- Senior prom this year, Juniors became super salesmen sell¬ ing Christmas ornaments in an effort to raise needed money for all the end of the year activities. How great it’ll be to finally be seniors with the class of ’83 taking their place in the financial world.

Though some are missing, they made their presence known at Pep Rallies and Assemblies. The screams of the baby Eagles won them the “Spirit Banner” in 3 out of 5 competitions during home game pep rallies. This year’s sophomores were also the first of the honors program. Members had to follow an already planned set of classes, which included as prerequisite two years of Latin. Any deviations from such would cause them to be dropped from the program. The system was based mainly on academic achievement and not on behavior.

Pride in their achievements, their school, their community, their unselfish service in making their world a better place in which to live and to work, sets a standard which leads to greater self-identity — the kind that belongs and is a part of civilized society, the kind that respects the past accomplishments and hopes to match or surpass them in the future. Graduating in the Bicentennial year was an ex¬ tra touch from History as students interested in other heritage studied the role this locality played in the forging of a nation. And explored existing sites and movements which testify to the efforts of those who went before as well as contemporary structures which make up modern day Em¬ poria. Here the old co-exist with the new as the changing faces and facades make their indelible impressions — and a Future Nostalgia Fest. (1) The New Field House at G.C.H.S. was finished in the fall of 1980. (2) The Municipal Building is an ex¬ ample of modern architec¬ ture designed by Mosely and Henning. (3) As was the Richardson Memorial Library. (4) John Manson, Stephane Wilson, PeeWee Byers, and Connie Veliky visit Village View. (5) Gov. John Dalton’s birth¬ place is now the home of Ms. Minnie Grizzard. Anita Bryant is on the front porch. 103 Old and New Businesses Support Our Eagle ' 81 (1) The Klugel building is a rare example of an iron front building. It is one of three buildings in Emporia on the Historical Landmark Register. The Tazewell- Robinson house was also nominated as an example of an early 18th century home in Greensville County. Records show that Littleton Waller Tazewell, Governor of Virginia (1834-36) spent time here. (2) Emporia boasts nine banks, the latest of which was this branch of the First Na¬ tional Bank. That’s Lasonti Powell, Lynn Jessee, Cathy Thompson, Pam Barnes, and Anita Bryant out front. ' f US’ SSI ' i] dll fa m i i H I Gil We appreciate all those who helped make Eagle ’81a reality. Our patrons and advertisers gave us financial support. John Sizemore of the South Side Sun and Adrian O’Connor of the Independent Messenger gave us pictures.
