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.
