I ' i 1 I I I I I w w:,v. m mmmmmm GREENSVILLE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL HARDING STREET EMPORIA, VIRGINIA 23847 VOLUME 57 V The Sea, an ancient biblical symbol for great masses of humanity, unleaches a power¬ ful energy which is both destructive and cre¬ ative. As new generations assert themselves like waves hitting the beaches of time, washing over all that stands in the way, new realities shape and exert an influence on world culture. This ever-changing and ephemerial Sensate Reality is thought of as a process, an evolution, perpetural movement as seen in 20th century art, science and civilization in our restless soci¬ ety and in the minds of those who erroneously equate all change as progress. Sweep away the old, put in the new is the pulse and impulse of the Sensate Mentality which readjusts values in order to run along with the stream, donning masks of pretense. l)Is life just a masquerade? G.C.H.S. stu-ents dressed for the Punk Rock Day Contest. As the music to “New Wave” blares out and the Walk-Man, a combination of radio and tapeplayer become popular at school. 2)Chris Hines here symbolizes the “new wave” of studying while listening to music which was once confined to homework but has found its way into the classroom. 3)A New Wave was made by Decathelon students C. Sheer, R. Bradley, J. Ross, M. Richardson, J. Barnes and R. Newsome who accompanied by Mr. Schuhart and Mr. Wilson (not pic¬ tured) flew to Santa Ana, California in April w here G.C.H.S. represented Virginia at the Academic Interna¬ tional Decathelon. Other members of the team who had high score on the tests for team selection and attended special preparatory classes after school but did not go were D. Tiller, T. Hundle, G. Newsome, and B. Skinner. 4) Mr. Schuhart met actress Christopher Varis who starred in the “Trapper John” TV program. Donations from com¬ munity organizations helped defray some of the expenses involved in this invitational, which was quite an honor for Greenville County to get.

A cheerleader is responsible for sparking the enthu¬ siasm of a crowd. She needs a voice that is clear—but yet loud. She represents her school everywhere — she should be on her best behavior at all times. Cheerleading is also leadership. A cheerleader has to know how to lead her crowd. She needs to know how to get her crowd excited and involved in the action of a game. C heerleading is knowing how to be a good sport. It’s pepping up the team after a bad game. It’s also being loyal enough to cheer in the pouring rain. Being a cheerleader means going to camp to perfect tum¬ bling, cheers, chants, and stunts. It’s pep rallies before critical games. But most of all, cheerleading is SPIRIT! (Tamatha Briggs) 1) Linda Sasser was our senior member who has cheered for eight years. 2) Charlene Thom¬ as, a Jr. High School member. 3) Meg Wilson was also a Jr. High School member. 4) Wanda Man¬ ning was our Sophomore mem¬ ber. 5) Sharon Tyler was also a Sophomore member. 6) Angela Maryland was a Senior member. 7) Tamatha Briggs is also a Sophomore on the squad. 8) Su- sanne Diefert, veteran on the squad, is caught in action. 8) See our pyramid power. 9) The girls line up to cheer at a home foot ¬ ball game. 10) This fire truck is full of sirens!!

All former records were moved and secured elsewhere in the school to provide more space in the crowded guidance suite. A Virginia View (Acronyns) software for career search, a two pronged approach with information on 365 careers was given as was a View Master with micropiche to use with the Apple Computer Literacy courses for graduate level credit and schedules for ' 83-’84 were made on our own Apple 11 Computer gifted studies devified for computerliteracy training. George Newsome and Billy Jo Dickens were enrolled in a Math and Science program for the gifted at Richard Bland College. Testing was reduced to fulfilling the state requirements of the 11th grade rather than the entire school body so it was accomplished by our own staff rather than a county testing team as in the past. New changes were also made in College Board Administration with new faces for student manuals and a smaller number of students in the testing rooms. On College day, No¬ vember 10, sixty institu¬ tions of higher learning in¬ cluding colleges, hospi¬ tals, business schools an the armed services came to G.C.H.S. to help stu¬ dents answer questions concerning future ca¬ reers, training, and cost. 4) Mrs. Vassar 5) Mr. Walton 6) Secretary Kathy Watkins made the guidance department a pleasant place to go for inquiries and helpful suggestions.

They went to the State Fair in Rich¬ mond in September, to USU, Career Day touring the Home Economics De¬ partment in November, enjoyed a steak dinner at Western Sizzlin in April. The club president, Shanda Sumpter and Mrs. Collins went to the State Leader¬ ship Conference at the John Marshall Hotel in April. The club presented a cake to the football team at the Home¬ coming Pep Rally. They sold Tupper- ware to supply the Home Economics kitchen with canister sets, drinking cups and other items. They also sold candy sticks. In addition to the sewing classes, which they learned on industrial ma¬ chines, Mrs. Collins also worked with the TMR class (Right) shown making Christmas wreaths. Business Committee headed by Doug Edwards who, with Kay Butts sold the most ads, was assisted by Jo Owens, Jackie Easter, Kim Johnson, Jeanette Walker, Terril Sledge, Lisa Taper and Not Pictured Lyn Pair. Can everybody get in Doug’s car? Soliciting ads is more footwork and perseverance than it is a joy ride over town. The staff procured over 8 hundred ads which made it possible for students to pay S12 for a book that costs $20 to publish. 42 ART ROOM IS CENTER FOR CREATIVE ACTIVITIES What’s cooking? It’s not always in the cafeteria or the Home Ec “Kitchen”. Sometimes it is in the ceramic kiln in the Art room where hand-built pottery and slip cast figurines were baked to a temperature of almost 2000° farenheit. There were waves of heat and waves of students in and out to work on either art projects or yearbook layouts — all calling Mrs. Manson to help them with their particular problem. 1) Art student s Marion King, Jeffrey High, Karen McAllister, Kathy Green 2) Mitchell Jones, show some of their paintings which were later framed and exhibited at Richardson Memorial Li¬ brary during the months of December and January.

SANTEE THOMAS, PRINCIPAL NEW SUPERINTENDENT NEW BOARD BEGIN ERA OF RECONSTRUCTION For over a decade there was no change in the school board, but with the switch from appointment of new members from the Electoral Board to the Board of Su¬ pervisors, five new members were seated last year. In March, Mrs. Bush replaced Mrs. Wilson who resigned. At the State Congress of School Boards, this board was named the most compatible with a record of voting unanimously on all is¬ sues since hiring Dr. Loughlin, a native of Connecticut. Reconstruction began with the abolition of some Central Office jobs and the creation of new positions, one of which brought in Dr. Meyer to oversee Finance and Personnel — Waves of change continue to sweep through the system.

Usually it is the voice of Chris Harrison, S.C.A. President, that goes out over the air waves to inform G.C.H.S. students of important events. Some¬ times it is Mrs. Babb who is also responsible for getting both absentees and announcements put on the bulletin, putting in print what has been orally communicated over the intercom. 1) Mrs. Babb at the phone and Sylvia Brown at the office typewriter. Keep the channels of communication open. “Give me a bus pass, please, Mrs. Young, I’m late and need a tardy slip,” are requests made of Mrs. Young who reports to school by 7:00 a.m. and takes all incoming calls, making arrangements for substitute teachers for those who call in unable to make it to school. She is pictured in Room 205, her office where the school computer was kept. Ten teachers took a course in Computer Literacy along with Mr. Wilson who declares that computers are a wave of the Future that we must prepare to master today. Typical instruction was provided to students in the Talented and Gifted program for the first time this year. Sophomores eat at the Learning Center on Monday’s from 4:30-6:30 P.M. and Juniors and Seniors went on Wednesdays for a basic course under Rick Rae.
