During the ceremony, Lesa Ev- ans sings 'The Greatest Love of All. national Honor Society gradu- ates are recognized during graduation. 2 A Few Opening Lines -ij m The pictures may be em- barassing, unusual, striking, or terribly nor- mal, but it is the true you. The yearbook is also a history book. On this page are the 1987 gradu- ates. They will be faced with many challenges down the line. Their his- tory at Qurdon High School has been written. For the 1988 graduates and underclassmen, the history either ends or continues in 1988. For the present, your interest is primarily in the pictures, but some- where down the line, we hope this book helps re- call the facts, the figures, and the faces of this school year. In our efforts to cap- ture the year, we begin with an ending - the 1987 graduates. Go along these lines with us, and outline the 1987-88 school year for Gur- don High School. David McClelland receives his diploma. Graduates look on as a speech is being given. A yearbook has two main functions: captur- ing candid shots of stu- dents being themselves and a pictorial history of the school year. It is “along these lines that we present the 1988 Gur- donian. Most will never look this way again. Some of you will never change. Starting Line On your mark, get set ... GO! Imagine yourself at the starting line get- ting ready to run the race. It's a long, tiring race taking you up hills and down hills, round and around, making you wonder if it will ever end. You may even be temp- ted to drop out before it's all over. School is a lot like a race. You start off at the starting line, making good grades and bad grades, taking test after test after test and won- dering if they will ever stop giving you home- work. The 1987-88 school year started off with foot- ball season, joining of clubs, commemorating the signing of the U.S. Constitution by the ring- ing of the bells and re- leasing red, white, and blue balloons, new stu- dents and teachers, a new principal and also a new superintendent. The race was on; we were off to a fast start. Whie leaving a Close-Up meet- ing, Janae Jester and nancy Long discuss the possibilities of going on the trip to Washing- ton, as Wendy Simpson and Beth Gills looks on. The Gurdon High School Band line up to get ready to march in the 1987 Homecoming Parade. 4 Opening Being his usual self, Carlton Ollison tries to get Dana Gentry in trouble by talking to him in study hall. Sophomore Allison Thomas poses as a Go-Devil ready to 'whip the Stamps Yellowjackets. After the final bell, Waynette Beals is caught by surprise while walking down the hall. American Government stu- dents, Cindy Johnson, Shanna Marks and Rhonda Hansen re- lease red, white and blue bal- loons to commemorate the bi- centennial of the signing of the U.S. Constititution.

Thomas Allen is thrilled at the point of picking his escort for this year's Coronation. The theme for 1987 Homecoming activities was A Qo-Devil Adventure. The busy week's activities included coronation on Tuesday night, building floats for the parade on Friday, a pre- game presentation of the court, a dance follow- ing the game. The sophomore float featuring Qo-Devil Jones took first place, the juniors placed second, and the freshmen finished third. Queen Tatrina Cooks, escorted by Captain James McNeil, was the focus of the activities. Co-Captain Chris Shaver escorted Maid Of Honor Rachel Butler. The 1987 Court of Royalty was one of the largest in recent years with fifteen senior escorts and sixteen lovely girls. 1987 Homecoming Queen Miss Tatrina Cooks 8 Homecoming Queen Tatrina Cooks and Senior Maid Amber Dav- ison are on top of the world in the Homecoming Parade.

For the girls chosen and others, also, it will be something that will not be forgotten. There were 16 girls chosen: Tatrina Cooks was picked as Homecoming queen by Captain James McNeil. When asked how it felt to be chosen Queen, she replied, I was very happy! I was shocked! It really surprised me to know that some guy would pick me as a queen!'' Knowing that an Homecoming '87 honor was bestowed upon her, she took the job with a smile on her face. For the first time in many years the Freshman class was represent- ed. Two Freshmen were chosen.

Starting in August with two-a- day practices, the De- vils set high goals for the year. Gurdon start- ed off right winning Head Coach Jim stiffler their first two games against Smackover and Lake Hamilton, but ran into a little trouble against AAA Oak Grove. The Devils also lost their first con- ference game to For- dyce. Losing both games by one point, the Go-Devils got their heads right and set their minds on the con- ference champion- ship. The Devils went on to defeat Stamps in This record (7-2) Homecoming and gave the Go-Devils the highly ranked Junction most successful sea- City for the second son in many years, tre- year in a row. Coming mendous fan support, back from an open and a berth in the state date, the team defeat- play-offs, ed Nashville. The De- vils put the icing on the cake with revenge against Prescott, win- ning for the first time since 1979. Chris Harper was named Democrat AA player of the week for his play against Prescott. Knocking off De- Queen then gave us the well-deserved 7AA Conference Champi- onship, which had not been accomplished in twenty-seven years.

Their hard work paid off as they defeated the Cardinals in the last couple of min- utes left in the game. With the state cham- pionship in their minds, the Devils had to face the Greenbrier Panthers in their next playoff game at Little Rock Mills. With packed stands and great support, the Go-De- vils knocked off Greenbrier and ad- vanced to the state semi-finals. There they would have to face No. 1 ranked. undefeated Darda- nelle at War Memori- al Stadium. Thrilled by the fact that they were getting to play on the turf one week early, the De- vils had no com- plaints. Then, on a drizzly Friday night, the Go-Devils upset the Sand Lizards and gained the respect of not only Gurdon, but people across the state. Running back Chris Harper re- ceived Democrat and Gazette Player of the Week for his out- standing perform- ance. After celebrating the big win, the De- vils went back to work for the AA Championship game — something the school has never ac- complished. Now, ranked No. 2 in the state, the Go-Devils had to face the No. 1 McGehee Owls. In front of a large crowd on a cold Saturday night, the Devils started the game off systematically driv- ing the ball down the field for a score. But mistakes cost the Devils the ballgame and ruined their dreams for the State AA title. Having noth- ing to be ashamed of, the Go-Devils set- tled for being No. 2, but in their hearts and the town of Gur- don, they will always be No. 1.

Of the five seniors, only two had seen playing time for the Go-Devils last year. Six juniors and four sophomores made up the remain- der of the team. The inexperience of the team was in evidence, especially in conference play. However, the team showed improvement during the season, and Coach John Ware is opti- mistic for the 1989 season. ▼� 24 Roy Pollins manages to sneak one in against Junction City. 24 Sr. High Basketball The Qo-Devils works extremely hard to defend their basket.

There were a lot of ups and downs for the team, but there was also a lot of dedication. The lady Devils were ranked third in District and not one of the chosen teams to win the tourney but the lady Devils defeated Nashville in the finals of the District Tournament and went on to the Regional Tournament as District 7AA champs. Losing to Dermott was a big disappointment, yet they were District champs and represented this district proudly. All-District honors went to Annie Brown and Mar- ilyn Giles.

They returned home with honors such as Most Spirited Squad and second place in the Grand Champions competition. Our spirited cheer- leaders supported the mighty Go-Devils from game num- ber one all the way to second place in the State finals.

With the football season extending into December and the state playoffs leading to four addi- tional games, the marching lines ex- tended their performing season. This was no imposition, however, because the band members were more than happy to support the Go-Devils. The 1987-88 marching Go-Devil band performed two half-time shows at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, a first for the school. This was an unforgettable experience for the entire band. It was a long line from hot August practices to frigid December evenings at War Memorial, but it was a line no band member or supporter will ever forget.

Beta Con- vention highlights the year with a two day visit to Little Rock and a stay at the Camelot Hotel. One of the club's service programs is the Gurdon High Teachers' Appreci- ation Day. national Honor Soci- ety offers membership to sophomores with a 4.0 grade point and a 3.5 grade point average for juniors and seniors. Se- lection is also based on leadership qualities and personal characteristics. The honor organization completes a service pro- ject every year for a cause selected by its members. Plans were made this year for a nHS field trip, a first for the club in recent years. Together, these orga- nizations offer a great deal to those students that 'make the grade'. The national Honor So- ciety, sponsored by Ms. Sandra Whitfield, and the Beta Club, directed by Mrs. L. White and Mr. Faila, provide excellent representation of the top Gurdon High students. OFFICIAL LIME: '87-88 na- tional Honor Society officers in- clude; Christie Hatley, Tatrina Cooks, Lynn Trout, Von Crain, and Rachell Stephens.

BETA NHS 33 Plans for the future were made by students at Qurdon High last year and two of the or- ganizations that helped those students were the FBLA and the COE. The Future Business Leaders of America in- volved students in the business courses at high school. The FBLA opened up opportuni- ties to students inter- ested in a future in the business world. As part of their duties, members sold Tom Watt products to raise money for a banquet and other activities. The Cooperative Of- fice Education pro- gram helped those seniors that were inter- ested in business find an afternoon job in the community. The COE gave seniors experi- Jk BLA COE Corporate Lines ence that will be helpful as they move into the workforce. At the end of the year the COE held a banquet for its members and their employers. Together, FBLA and COE provided opportu- nity to those seeking a career in business. Training students to be tomorrow's leaders is a main goal of these orga- nizations. PROFESSIONAL LINES: '87 - '88 FBLA members. COOPERATIVE LINES: COE members spend after school hours preparing next month's school calendar. COMPLETED LIMES: That's all ' according to Janae Jester after finishing her work. LEADING LINES: COE offi- cers for '87-'88 include: Ten- ya Hawthorne, Cathy Ed- wards, Wendy Simpson, Janae Jester, Tracy White, Jackie McClure and sponsor Ms. B.J. Miller. FBLA COE Thoe performing Spanish dancing for the banquet included: Haney Long, Janae Jester, Sandy Hudson, Stephan- ie Martin, Tenya Hawthorne, Merideth Key, Jan Edwards, and Christi Hatley. Ole! The Spanish dancers entertained at the Spanish banquet. Accent Line Spanish this year has grown in more ways then one. The Spanish Club has increased its membership and more projects are offered. The Foreign Language Festival was as suc- cessful as usual, with at least two or three stu- dents bringing back awards for their perfor- mances. The banquet is anticipated each spring. The 1986 banquet provided a gala eve- ning with students performing Spanish dances for those attending.

Jason Hughes proudly displays his Spanish poster. Branch Line Close-Up is a program which allows students from around the nation to meet their political leaders in Washington, D.C. It gives the students a close up look at their government and how it op- erates. This year 15 students from Gurdon High School attended the program. It was a week full of fun and learning activities. Ad- dresses and phone numbers were collected and a lot of new friendships were made. The week in Washington is a very full and exciting week. It is worth any students time and energy. It's a real opportunity to branch out. Kevin Smithpeters, Rachel Butler, and Sandy Hudson ad- mire the artistic designs on the ceiling at the Library of Con- gress.

Lines Of Direction Although to the un- trained eye the yearbook staff may have looked unorganized or ap- peared to be running in all directions, everything was in complete control (well, almost complete). The Journalism class put many hours, day and night, working and striv- ing to make this year- book a success. We would like to thank Rob- ert Stone, Brad Hurst, Jimmy Ledbetter, and Rusty Frizzel for putting in their hours of help to pull this yearbook to- gether. The class found out that dedication and hard work pays off in the end. The newspaper was also a big success this year with the help of Mr. Failla's editing talent. Many hard, long hours were equally spent on the presentation of the paper. Many students took new challenges on both the annual and the Devil Sheet. Hone of these publica- tions would have been produced without our ever patient and caring sponsor, Mrs. Mary Van- diver. We, the members of Journalism class, sa- lute Mrs. Vandiver for all her efforts. LIMES or DEDICATION: Shan- na Marks creates another lay- out while listening to her inspi- rational music.

Journalism 41 FFA Active Lines The Future Farmers of America has proven to be an active force on the campus of Gurdon High as well as off campus. Due to its members will- ingness and constant prodding by instructor and sponsor Allen Black- well, the FFA takes on many projects through- out the year. Backtracking to the end of last school year, the FFA was involved in various specialty con- tests. Ail teams showed well at district and two teams went to state. As summer rolled around, the FFA continued to be active. Officers attended leadership camp and several members en- joyed a week of FFA camp. A summer fire- works sale boosted the organization's finances as it headed into a busy new school year. With summer vacation drawing to a close, mem- bers readied their live- stock for the coming fair season. Gurdon FFA showed well in all three fairs, including the Ar- kansas State Fair. Mem- bers of the chapter then started their annual fruit sale. With hardly a chance to catch their breath, FFA members were off to the national Convention in Kansas City for a week of infor- mative conferences and great entertainment, next up was the selec- tion of a Parliamentary Procedure team and preparation for competi- tion. As the year once again drew to a close, the FFA members could reflect upon their accomplish- ments and prepare for another active year.

The Student Council was responsible for many activities this year. Coun- cil president Dana Gentry and officers Beth Gills, Lynn Trout, and Michael Hatley supervised class officer elections at the be- ginning of the year. After elections decided the new class rep's to the Stu- dent Council, prepara- tions were made and a theme was chosen for Homecoming week.

Academics Along The Lines Student Interest Lines Finally, a page just for, only for, the students! A lot of things happened this year and these pages deal with student views on the subject. A poll was con- ducted by the yearbook staff on a number of students that rep- resented all walks of life at Gur- don High, and these responses followed. Concerns about high school were many and largely well jus- tified. Hew school officials and teachers were on the minds of many students. Whether the principal would support the students or the new teachers could match former ones headed up these concerns. On the positive side, an im- pressive football season brought the students above the worries of high school life. A conference championship and being state runner-up proved that there was still spirit at Gurdon High. But things can pile up around Gurdon in the winter, about six inches worth! A week was miss- ed due to the snow and ice and everyone was concerned about making up the days. Spring Break withstood the trial as the missed days pushed the end of the school year further into June. Hot much went on in Gurdon this year, although that's not anything new. When students were asked what concerned them in Gurdon, the devastat- ed city streets took first place. Others seemed uninterested in Gurdon and were ready to get away. Looking at the bigger pic- ture, students were interested in the upcoming presidential election and wanted a lasting peace. Back in Arkansas, stu- dents hoped they could gradu- ate before Gov. Clinton came up with any more school stan- dards. Over one-half of the students polled voluntarily conveyed dissatisfation with school ad- ministrative personnel. Stu- dents felt that teachers should abide by the no tobacco rule also. Opinions were voiced concerning school rules and regulations. One pointed out that the school officials should play by the rules and not improvise. All in all it was a very differ- ent school year at Gurdon High with many incidents occurring. Although student suspensions and expulsions probably reached an all-time high, the ten day suspension of three students and expulsion of an- other must figure prominently in the memories. 46 Student Poll RESISTIHG LIHES: Evidence of the missed week of school refuses to just melt away. ROUGH LIHES: Looks like Susan Seymore and Cricket Quinney have had a bad day as they stop by to talk. DR1VIHG LIHES: Amy Smith- peters enjoys the conve- nience of the internal com- bustion engine. a: If You Could Everything has its faults, and Gurdon High is no ex- ception to that rule. The poll asked students what they would change about the past school year, and nothing was spared. From classes to school discipline policies. these students knew what they were talking about. But the major change would have to be a longer lunch pe- riod. Change Last Year? What would you change? The stupid rule about Spuds McKenzie T- shirts. - Michael Hatley No unwritten rules! - Jan Edwards To have won one more football game. - Kenny Spruill To be more self-con- trolled. - Missy Reece The rule about inviting outside people to the Jr.-Sr. Prom. - Tosha Williams The parking rules. - Lew- is Taylor WHAT'S UP TOWN? What goes on in the metropolis of Gur- don? Cruising is the big answer. The choices are definitely limited, but for some, Gurdon still holds an attraction. On the same note, students also know what needs to change in town. What do you do uptown? 1 go up town to look for girls. - Jimmy Don Currey I cruise town a while and the back roads and cruise and cruise and cruise and cruise ... - Von Crain Have fun and go to the store. - Chan- dra Booker 1 don't go up town in Gurdon. 1 go to Arkadelphia. - Mindy Calley Waste time and gas! Stop on the park- ing lot and talk. - Waynette Beals 1 really don't think you should know! - Kevin Jester What needs to change to make Gurdon more interesting? Increase the population by about 300 thousand. - Rachel Butler People to quit being so nosey! - Trav- is McNeil Have things to do like bowling, movies, maybe a nightclub, anything more than we have. - Paul Roberson Put a red light up in Gurdon. - Steve Allen LINE OP VISION: The view to many - Gurdon from the parking lot. Student Poll 7 J Vocational Lines Vocational courses specialize in specific ar- eas of study and receive government funding. Three such classes are offered at Qurdon High, Vocational Auto Me- chanics, Vocational Agri- culture, and Home Eco- nomics. Getting to work on their own cars inspired students to take Auto Mechanics last year. The course benefited the stu- dents by giving them a helpful knowledge of auto repair. Auto Me- chanics was instructed by Mr. Asie Pilgrim. Vocational Agriculture offered three years of study in animal science, welding, and electricity. First semester study in- cluded mainly book work and exams. All courses required stu- dents to complete the second semester of hands-on shop work. This gave students expe- rience in the areas of gas and electric welding, wood working, electrici- ty, and plumbing. Agri courses were under the direction of Mr. Allen Blackwell. Home Economics pre- pared students in home- making skills with a vari- ety of classes. Those courses included cloth- ing and textiles, food and nutrition, and indepen- dent living.

Question like these are answered and explored daily at Qurdon High in the math and sci- ence classes. However, this year other questions were uppermost in the minds of the students at the beginning of the year. Who is going to teach chemistry? Who is going to teach Geome- try? Who is going to teach advanced math and physics?” Three of the five teachers in this department were not re- turning for the 87-88 school year. The new faculty members, Mrs. Beck and Mrs. Childress, took on physics, advanced math, algebra I and 11, geome- try, and general science. Mrs. L. White once again taught the chemistry classes. Mr. Middleton handled business math and general math. The questionalble lines of math and sci- ence were explored ef- fectively by the students on a daily basis, inching slowly toward those criti- cal thinking skills so nec- essary in today's world. CONNECTED LINES: Math and science meet in the study of physics by these senior stu- dents.

Historical Lines or the students in this case, en- joyed a full year of historical events both in and out of the classroom. Last year (1987) marked the 200th birthday of the United States Constitution and celebrations spread into the events of Qurdon High. A Constitution Day assembly was held and balloons were re- leased in conjunction with a na- tionwide celebration with the help of Mrs. Kuhn. A banner was also placed in the Clark County Courthouse entitled We the People and embo- died the names of Qurdon High's history students. America history was studied in depth in Ms. Sandra Whit- field's class. Students explored history from the Roanoke Colo- ny to the American Revolution to the Civil War to World Wars 1 and II to Vietnam to the pres- ent day Iran-Contra scandal. The year was occupied with history projects and by the end of the year students could say they had learned to master a five-page test. Ms. Whitfield also presented these facts and more to the students of world history. A knowledge of direction, lo- cation, and land masses was gained in geography under Mrs. Carolyn Kuhn. Bringing the present into perspective with the past proved interest- ing to many students in global studies. By keeping up with dai- ly occurrences in world politics and taking part in Mrs. Kuhn's enthralling discussions made this a valuable course. Seniors were offered an American gov- ernment course which gave them an understanding of what our country is based on. Combine all these things to- gether, the activities and courses, and the social studies program proved an effective part of Qurdon High. LINES OF DIRECTION: Mrs. Kuhn ponders the question a moment before giving an an- swer. LOTS OF LINES: World history students waste no time starting their homework assignment. 53 Social Studies r Literal Lines Literary devices, subject - noun agreement, parts of speech, spelling and literary time periods, who needs them? Their need is unquestionable. Without these, and more, even reading this page would be im- possible. For this Knowledge the appreciation goes to the English department - Mrs. Mary Vandiver, Mrs. Nona Anderson, and Mrs. Sharon Home Once again the emphasis was on grammar and the appli- cation of those skills in the En- glish rooms at high school. By giving students familiarity with writing, teachers hoped to bet- ter prepare them for college. Another added feature to the advanced English courses last year was the ever dreaded vo- cabulary lessons. These les- sons became part of the gifted and talented program and were incorporated into the student work. Literature was not forgotten as students learned of literary time periods and the works of Emerson and Thoreau as Mrs. Horne pointed out the idealism of the era. Romeo and Juliet and Julius Ceaser were read by freshmen and sophomores as seniors were left to Macbeth and English Literature. LINES OF CONCENTRATION: English II students read Julius Caesar. BREAKING THE LINES: Tracy McBride, Troy Smith, James Wiley, and Roger Melugin take time out of English for a game of Win, Lose, or Draw.” GRAMMATICAL LINES: English III students prepare to study grammar, or at least some of them do. FIGURATIVE LINES: A guest speaker entertained juniors and seniors on the subject of critical thinking. Language Arts Business LINES or TYPE: Mark Weems awaits the buzzer in Typing class. DOUBLE-SPACED LINE: Typing students practice as Ms. Miller looks on. Business Lines Preparation for the future began in the business de- partment at Gurdon High. Courses of study offered in- clude Typing I and II, Ac- counting, Computer Sci- ence, and Data Processing. Instruction from Ms. Bell and Ms. Miller brought the business world in reach of high school students. Finding the taxable in- come and having a bal- anced book were the goals of the accounting class. Correctly typed letters and the right letter form tapped at the typing students throughout the year. Be- hind all of this knowledge was the ever busy Ms. Miller. Syntax Error was the dreaded enemy of Ms. Bell and her computer classes as they broke new ground in computer land. Comput- er science challenged the minds of seniors in pro- gramming and data pro- cessing introduced the ca- pabilities of the computer to the students. Students left Gurdon High with a better under- standing of the business world and a readiness to en- ter into it. Busir Sweat Line The physical education de- partment emphasizes physical fitness and learning to partici- pate in team activities. From basketball to square dancing, these students benefit from working together to achieve their goals. P.E. Boys play thunder ball. Benetta Booker concentrates on form before gymnastics. Jamie Boyce outruns Nanette McKin as others just give up. P.E. students wander aimlessly around the gym. 58 P.E. Administration Center Line The administration is the hub, or center, of the school district. The school board, su- perintendent, and central of- fice personnel either initiate policy, or after studying, change the policy to create a learning environment for the students in the district. Communication with the community is vital, no matter how small or large a problem appears to be, the central of- fice always tries to settle it fair- ly. They are always looking for ways to make it the best year it can be for all patrons of the district. % Superintendent, Bob Thompson Principal, John Belin Curriculum Director, Becky Jester; Bookkeeper, Jackie Garland; Secretary Migrant Clerk Aid, Lorece (Sue) Mul- drew Vice-Principal, John Ware; Counselor, Francis McGill; Sec- retary, Carolyn Crow Dana Gentry and Mr. Belin observe Mayor Ricky Frizzell as he signs a constitution week proclamation. 60 Administration Our School Board consists of Robert Thomas, Roland Calley, Boyce Stone, Jimmy Davidson, and Ronald Padgett (not pic- tured).

Administration 61 Chalk Line The 1987-88 school year received many new faces. Through consolidation we obtained several faculty members and principal, John Belin. Due to an unusually high turnover, positions had to be filled. Critical thinking and writing skills were emphasized across the curriculum, as evi- denced by more essay type questions on tests, more open-ended questions, and more writing. Students were challenged to apply their learning to new situations and show the importance of thinking skills. lents on an assign- r Blackwell instructs attei :nt.

From their freshman year, their sights had been fixed on this - their last year at Gur- don High. Although changes had been made in school personnel, as well as classmates, the goal remained constant - graduation! The standards were in place, the requirements were noted, and most of those who started down the line thirteen years before were happy to reach the end of the line. The football team had a successful last year, as did the senior girls basketball team and band. Their accomplishments were many and really made 1988 a great year.

The Junior Class in on the borderline of that last year in high school. This is their last chance to shine before becom- ing a Senior. They have succeeded with their first play and organizing the Jr.-Sr. Prom. The ordering of their class rings also highlighted their Junior year. They are on the borderline of becoming the graduating class of '89. Several Juniors were asked to give their thoughts about the '87-'88 school year. Here are some of their comments. My Junior year has been long, rough, boring, and costly. Next year you can expect everyone (Seniors) to act crazy, it just runs in our blood. The football team will hopefully make it to the playoffs without anyone getting hurt. I believe that is my biggest goal next year. Kenneth McClelland. This year Juniors have boldly gone where no man has gone before. James Edwards My Junior year has definitely been an experience ... fil- led with triumphs and tears that will never be forgotten. Sus- an Seymore I've made it through this year, so next year should be even better.

They became eligible for clubs and organizations, such as Beta Club, Senior High cheer- leading, and Senior High football. Members of the sophomore class enrolled in biology became bug catchers and flower collec- tors. They memorized speeches from Julius Caesar and explored world literature. They sewed geo- metric designs in geometry. It was a year of academic variety. ►Sophomore class officers of 1987-88 are: Andi Owens, Hanette Mckin, Gerald Harper, April Davidson, Cheryl Jorstad. and Maria Pels.

Sophomores 77 What's My Line? The freshmen entered their first year of high school with anxious eagerness, ready to move up into a more independent learning environ- ment. They sought to establish their territory, ready to prove they were growing up. The academic pressures increased as they took their first semester tests, and some were astonished to find they were responsible for re- membering material covered at the beginning of the school year. With those first semester grades behind them, the freshmen began to leam how to study more independently. Searching for their own lines to follow occupied most of their time. Freshman class officers include: Rusty Frizzell, Rebecca Hathcoat, Jason Hughes, Jamie Boyce, David Cagle, Rodney Hurst, and Jennifer Haynie.

In a year of challenges, the biggest challenge of all was the state wide testing of eighth-graders. Students were forewarned that certain scores would have to be attained before being passed to the ninth grade. However, the eighth-graders were also intro- duced to the T Can theory where the ABC's stood for Attitude, Behavior, and Character. The faculty of middle school tried to emphasize a positive attitude for all areas of learning. Academics, athletics, and band activities were expanded into the field of vocational skills offered in shop and career orientation programs. Some look like they're there and some look like they're not.

Or- ganized sports enter the picture with opportuni- ties to compete in football, basketball, track, cheerleading, and pep steppers. New academic opportunities arise in adjusting to a different teacher for each subject and striving toward Beta induction. The move to the big hall offers new social ad- justments, too. With students grouped according more to activities because of scheduling, new friendships are formed in seventh grade. Many old friendships survive, and new groups of friends are enlarged because of shared activities. It seems math class makes Jon Edwards go crazy.

Seventh Grade 89 The Bottom Line The sixth grade started their second year in Middle School well on their way to achieving new goals, facing new obstacles, and participating in more activi- ties. The bottom line was now they would have to work a little harder in order to have time to explore the variety of activities a big heart, available to them.

It's a new school with new faces all around. The entire system is new and causes some worries before the new routine is learned. How- ever, most fifth graders find these worries are not warranted and settle down, enjoying the new activities at hand. One of the first worries van- ishes when fifth graders get their gym clothes and report to the gym for P.E. They learn to enjoy this quickly. Another worry disappears when they discover they are in- cluded in the pep rallies every Thursday afternoon. The ele- mentary days are put behind them, as they follow a new line at Qurdon Middle School.

A new Line The Fifth grade began a new line of life and hard work. They began to look ahead to new horizons. With new activities such as P.E. in a real gym, mu- sic classes, health, and no recesses, it's a full year that captures the enthusiasm of all fifth- graders. Fifth Grade 95 high football season could be described as dis- appointing, being that it ended with an 0-7 record, but there is more to it than that. More to it, indeed; thirty-nine young men im- proved in techniques and strength while building needed character for the future. A new emphasis was placed on the junior high program this year as the team was given a full-time coach. The young team received coaching exper- tise from Duane Yerina and Donald Williams and spent many hours on the practice field. It's A Fine Line Though when the final horn sounded the junior high Go-Devils were de- feated in statistics, they received valuable instruc- tion and an insight into the future. The seventh grade team had an outstanding year, though. Also under the di- rection of Coach Yerina, the anxious team started by learning plays, but ex- perience proved to be the real teacher. One of the highlights of their season was the defeat of Prescott, which made all of the hard work pay off.

They helped raise the spirit of the fans and morale of the players. Cheerleading and pep squad wasn't just fun and games, these girls put a lot into it. Preparation required hours of summer practice and still more after school work. These organizations not only provided support, but also developed charac- ter of the devoted students. The cheerleaders were sponsored by Mrs. Linda Bul- lard and the pep steppers and pep squad by Mrs. House. LAST-MINUTE LINE: Cheerleaders re- ceive final instructions before starting the pep rally. Lines of Fire The Junior basketball teams had a great season this year. Even though the Junior Boys didn't come out on top, we can still say that they put tons of hard work into what they did.
