The Personal Touch The student body was one of spectacular quality, a unique conglomerate that was second to none. From the Homecoming parade, a victorious salute to Tammie Haggins, to the football game against Lafayette High School, the Crabbers applied their own personalities to every¬ thing. In addition to the regular high school classes, freshmen joined the ranks. A giant group of seven hundred plus people multiplied the fresh Crabber spirit. Nowhere, in any one place was there a more special student body, for whatever they did, it was done with dedication, enthusiasm, and pride. This was shown from the hallways decorated during Spirit Week to the lockers ornamented with personal Crabber items. One junior, Bobby McTaggart, had in his locker a coconut head which he named Badili . Bobby claimed this keeps all evil spirits away and protects and defends his locker. The Student Life was one to be proud of, for the honor of being a Crabber was felt in the students ' PERSONAL TOUCH.
