FRIENDSHIP__ Friendship is one of the greatest attributes a person can have. It is a union of deepest feelings, an indefinable trust, and constant communication. A friend is that person with whom one spends much of his time and shares his secrets. He is there when you need him and even when you don’t! Friends at John C. share late night talks on the phone, trips up and down Jefferies, gossip, and many oth- er things. Friends don’t have to try to be friends — it just hap- pens! 2 Opening SUMMER Summer is a word that al- ways brings a smile. It is a time for going to the beach, taking vacations, working, or just be- ing lazy. For most students, there is a special event that stands out about their summer and carries them through the school year. It may have been a certain party, a new friend, or a summer romance. Someone may have just learned to water ski at the end of the summer and can't wait to try it again. On those scorching hot days, football practice seemed to never end; but the players could await the start of the sea- son with anticipation. If school starts to get you down, remem- ber that there are always those three months of sun and fun to look forward to ... summer! Opening 5 LOVE What is love? It is the special feeling one has for relatives, teachers, girlfriends, or boy- friends. It is parents going to sporting events to see their children play and the devotion students have for John C. Cal- houn Academy. Love starts at an early age. When little boys pick on little girls, they actually consider them to be their girlfriends. As girls get older, they tend to have crushes on high school boys and feel as if they will faint when that certain boy walks by. Teenage love be- comes more real with couples dating and going to parties and dances; however, along with the fun and happiness comes the heartaches, jealousy, and tears. Although some of these “loves” may die away, they will never be forgotten! 6 Opening SPIRIT. Spirit is the pep and excite- ment seen around our school, whether it is in the classroom, on the basketball court, or at band practice. Wherever it is found, spirit plays an important part in unifying our student body. This year the students re- alized that no matter how much time and energy are put into a team or group activity, it can- not succeed without enthusias- tic participation and support. The fans, cheerleaders, team- mates, and students now have the much needed pride and con- fidence in John C. Calhoun Academy. 8 Opening Faculty FacuIty 9 Faculty And Administration Gluinda Tucker — Bookkeeper Joann Wimberley — Guidance Coun- selor, Grade 12 — Composition Nancy Beach — Secretary Lillian Griffith — Librarian 10 Faculty Esther Hiers — Kindergarten Paula Bridge — Grade 1 Carolyn Powers — Grade 1 Sylvia Warren — Grade 2 Faculty 11 Betty Black — Grade 3 Dorothy Beach — Grade 4 May Goodwin — Grade 4 Most of our teachers have a positive out- look on the schools of today. However, they feel that there is a need for more discipline in the schools in order to help students take advantage of the opportunities offered to them. The teachers' goals center around the need and potential of each student: “They hold the key to many doors.

Some felt that teachers were people to be looked up to. As students, they set high goals for themselves, and most have reached those goals or are still working towards them.

Hearts grow closer and friends become dearer than ever before. This is the year of triumphal laughter and desperate tears. And on that fateful graduation night, the tears unite with the laughter and roll down our cheeks in inexpressible joy. That night is the night that we, the seniors, leave our childhood behind and accept the role of responsibility, and it will linger in our hearts and minds for- ever.

The rest follow the Tigers. 22 Seniors A group of seniors enjoying their privilege of getting out for lunch five minutes early. Seniors 23 V Michelle Jamie David Anne Jimm; Student Spotlight Mimi Miyamota, from Sai- tama, Japan, is our first ex- change student. She lives with Mrs. Blocker, who, ac- cording to Mimi, is a great teacher, mother, and cook. Homemade biscuits are her fa- vorite American food, and American Bandstand is her fa- vorite show. Adapting to life at John C. has been hard for Mimi. She says the teachers talk too fast, and she can't un- derstand our slang. Mimi feels that American students don’t appreciate their freedom and privileges.

Seniors 27 Senior Life Being a senior is something everyone anticipates through- out his school years. Your sen- ior year is the highlight of all the high school years. There are so many things to look for- ward to — senior privileges, the senior trip, Jr.-Sr., and mak- ing plans for college or for go- ing straight to work. It’s the end of the carefree, exciting, and sometimes frustrating life of a teenager, but it’s the begin- ning of something altogether new and exciting. After gradu- ation, it's time to become the mature person that John C. has made you. Remember, today's seniors are tomorrow's leaders. The hectic life of a senior is driving Mark Davis crazy! The seniors use their study hall very wisely. 28 Seniors • V Mark McRoy passes a juicy note to Johnny Smoak. Kelly Rister tries to explain something to John Hydrick. Seniors 29 The goal of most seniors for their senior year is just to graduate. Some just want to enjoy themselves and stay out of trouble. Mark Socha, Mark Davis, and Jimmy Mitchell smile for the camera. Robbie Robertson Amy Sauls Janice Segars Jamie Simmons Jamie Smoak Johnny Smoak Mark Socha Davie Strickland Jane Ulmer Madison Utsey Billy Yarn Sally Ware 30 Seniors Seniors 31 Mr. And Miss Warhawk i Mr. and Miss Warhawk are chosen each year by the fac- ulty. This year Michelle Beach and Mark Socha were chosen. Mr. and Miss War- hawk represent the “ideal characteristics in the senior boy and girl — leadership, citizenship, congeniality, etc. When Michelle and Mark were asked what they liked most and least about their senior year, they both had very different feelings. Mi- chelle liked best the feeling of relaxation. She knew she could just sit back and let the juniors take over. She liked least knowing that this was her last year at John C. Mark's favorite thing was Pre-Calculus. What he liked least was the thought of leaving his friends. Mark and Michelle represent all of the senior superlatives wrapped up into one. Sr. Superlatives 33 Wittiest The wittiest of the senior class are Jane Ulmer and Mark So- cha. These two are al- ways telling jokes and spreading smiles. Mark and Jane are usually behind what- ever's going on in the senior class. Both are active members of the Broadcast Club where they use their sense of humor to help make a lively show. Their personal- ities and wit make them fun people to be around! Most Congenial The whole class of 1982 is friendly and fun to be around, but they chose from themselves Debbie Carroll, Robbie Rob- ertson, and Jimmy Mitchell as most con- genial. These seniors are always seen in the halls of John C. with smiles. All three have great personal- ities which help to make them just all around “good guys.” 34 Sr. Superlatives Most Promising The class of 1982 chose Michelle Beach and Walter Hiott as most promising. These two seniors were known for their intelligence. Both hope to pursue ca- reers in medicine. Mi- Most School-Spirit Elaine Flowers and Bruce Hensely were the most enthusiastic seniors. Elaine has been cheering on the Warhawks for many years. She has shown her spirit through victory and defeat. Bruce is an active member of “Bouton's Baboons.” Both in- volve themselves in school activities and encourage student in- volvement. Sr. Supertatives 35 Most Conscientious Debbie Carroll and Walter Hiott were chosen as the most conscientious seniors. They always do more than their share on any project they're involved with. Wal- ter and Debbie are sought after by both teachers and students for their dependabil- ity. A conscientious person is one who is committed to any- thing he does. Both Walter and Debbie exemplify these qua- lities in everything they do. Most Athletic Kelly Rister and Sheldon Girardeau were the most athle- tic seniors. Both have been active in sports throughout their school years. Their achievements have been recognized by many Sheldon was selected to be on two all-state and one all- star football team. During the Warhawk Invitational, both were asked to be on the all-star teams. These two seniors have greatly helped John C.'s athletic pro- gram. 36 Sr S rlalives Miss DAR The faculty chose Debbie Carroll as Miss DAR this year. Miss DAR is a citizen- ship award given an- nually by the local chapter of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution. Debbie plans to attend Bap- tist College where she hopes to minor in music. She is unsure of her major, but is se- riously considering computer engineer- ing. characteristic of lead- ership. He was presi- dent of the student body as well as co- captain of the football team. He is sure to show these qualities in the future. Danforth Award Walter Hiott was chosen for the Dan- forth Award this year. Walter was cho- sen on the basis of his potential for service and leadership in his adult years. Walter certainly has the Sr. Superlatives 37 Senior Statistics CHRISTOPHER TODD BABB RHONDA JOY BAILEY — NHS 3, 4; Who’s Who 3, 4; Talon Staff 1, 2, 3, 4; Business Manager 1, 2, 3, 4; Warhawk Staff 3, 4; Asst, Business Manager 3; Business Manager 4; Band 1; Perfect Attendance 1; Basketball 2; Volleyball 2; Powderpuff 2; Winthrop'Challenge Team 4; Block C Club 3 GREGORY EDWARD BARNES — Band 1, 2; Football 3, 4; Weightlifting 3, 4; Powderpuff Cheerleader 3, Pow- derpuff Homecoming Queen 4 CATHERINE MICHELLE BEACH — Warhawk Staff 1, 2, 3; Talon Staff 3, 4; Copy Editor 3; Ads and Activities Co- Editor 4; Cheerleader 4; Class Presi- dent 3, 4; Student Council 2, 3, 4; NHS 3, 4; French Club 2; Vice-President 2; Basketball 1, 2; Co-Captain 2; Volley- ball 2; Powderpuff 1, 3, 4; Winthrop Challenge Team 4; Senior Superlative; Who’s Who 3, 4; Marshal 1,2,3; Geom- etry Award 2; Chemistry Award 3; U.S. History Award 3; Furman Schol- ar 3; P.C.

Cal Griffin Pam Gustin Shawne Headden Rhonda Johns Dowl Knight Mark Maxey Philip McNair Keith McRoy Gale Nettles What does it mean to be a Junior? To the Class of ’83, it means lots of hard work! Raising money was the chief goal of the year. The main project was the magazine sale, in which they almost reached their goal of $12,000. Some other out-of- school projects were planned. Get- ting high school rings and taking S.A.T.’s were another big part of the Junior year. Harold Blocker best summed up the attitude of the ma- jority of the Juniors when he was heard saying, “Only one more year until graduation!” All in all, being a Junior is a lot of fun, and not one member of the Class of 1983 would pass it up._________________________ Juniors 43 Carlton Pogroski Beth Powers Scott Rizer Trent Copeland studying during lunch.

This year is es- pecially significant because near- ly all of the tenth grade can drive. When it comes to a favorite sub- ject, the classes are divided be- tween Geometry and Biology. They look forward to their last years at John C., and most hope to attend college after graduation.

Their favorite ex- tracurricular activities were football for the boys and powderpuff for the girls. The ninth grade chose science as their favorite subject mainly because Miss Boynton is their favorite teacher. They love the beach, music by AC DC, and eating!

The only disadvan- tage, they say, is that now they are the youngest and they get pushed around” by the older students. They agree that health is their fa- vorite subject. Overall, they like the teachers, but the eighth graders say that this year even more time is re- quired for homework and that the teachers expect much more from the stu- dents. 52 8th Grade Cindy Kinard Michelle Lasseter Carole McCants Sandy McClure Tuck McConnell Brown McLeod Chuck McMillan Robert McNair Michelle Morris Ronnie Pack Brian Reeves Billy Ritter Sherrie Rizer Johnny Rodgers Tiwana Sanford Kristy Smoak Sonya Smoak Tina Ruth Smoak Ward Ulmer Caroline Werntz Cheryl Wood Richie Wood Kristi Connelly, Jill Griffin, and Mary Gustin study a piece of music during music class. 8th Grade 53 Seventh Graders Monica Avant Nicky Britt Chris Carter Tony Caruso Clint Chewning Melanie Crosby Stacey Crosby Madison Farrell Stephanie Grant Jennifer Guilford John Hamilton Robbie Hogan Michelle Hughes Robin Jones KiKi Kinard Sean Knight Carla Lawson George Long Melody McGinnis Scott Moody Gene Simmons and Clint Chewning have it out! 54 7th Grade Show Their Enthusiasm Shawn Murphree Johnnie Neal Karen Nettles Leslie Padgett Steven Padgett Bart Phillips Juliana Pogroski Debbie Powers Thomas Rowe Gene Simmons Brian Strickland Helana Strickland Jaymie Strickland Natalie Thompson Beau Turner The seventh graders showed their enthusiasm this year by their par- ticipation in extra-curricular activi- ties. Many were involved in band, football, basketball, and cheering as well as other outside activities. Be- cause they are so spirited, they won the spirit stick many times. When asked what they liked most about the seventh grade, the girls replied Coach Paris, while the boys replied the girls! 7th Grade 55 Six Graders Must Adjust To The Changes This The first six weeks of the sixth grade is a time of adjustment for students. They now have four teachers instead of one and each teacher has his or her own special way of conducting class and all expect and demand a great deal of responsibility from each stu- dent. Once this adjustment has been made, students enjoy (or pretend to enjoy) the changing of classes. Some students become “clock watchers very early in the year and count down the minutes until the bell to end the period will ring when they first enter the classroom.

Young McWhirter Jeanette Mixon In the survey of the third grade, some interesting things were found. Math was their favorite subject with social studies run- ning close behind Because the third graders love to be spirited, or just plain “yelling,” they chose pep rallies as their favorite part of school. Being the oldest in the building, the disciplined third graders said they had to teach the younger students how to behave. 62 3rd Grade Shane Walker throws a touchdown pass to the waiting receiver.

Kindergarten 69 The Chosen Few Michelle Beach and Walter Hiott, the two top-ranked Seniors, are Furmen Scholars. Walter Hiott attended Governor’s School last summer at the College of Charleston. Candace Goodwin is a National Mer- it Finalist because of her high score on the PSAT. John Hydrick and Mark Socha went to Boys' State last July at the Citadel, and Jane Ulmer and Kelly Rister attended Girls’ State which was held at U.S.C. Gary Headden, Walter Hiott, Michelle Beach, and Candace Goodwin are part of the Wofford Scholarship Program, the oldest academic scholarship pro- gram in the nation. Debbie Carroll and David Justice are also Wofford Schol- ars but are not pictured. 70 Classes Activities Activities 71 Encouraging Student Involvement In the spring of last year, the student body elected 1981-82 officers of Student Council. Pres. Walter Hiott, Vice-Pres. Lesley Foster, and Sec. Treas. Carmen Long were installed during a ceremony held in the gym at the beginning of this school term. Other members were the 8th-12th grade presi- dents and homeroom repre- sentatives. The Council, ad- vised by Mrs. Wimberly and Miss Boynton, sponsored many activities to increase student involvement. The Student Council held a cos- tume contest for the seniors at Halloween, participated in the blood drive, sponsored both Teacher Appreciation Week and Clean-Up Week, and decorated the high school class doors. Members also sold bumper stickers and visors to cover the cost of Homecoming activities. (Top right), Michelle Beach, senior re- presentative, reports on Council spon- sored Blood Mobile.

Officers of the So- ciety were Pres. Elaine Flow- ers, Vice-Pres. David Justice, and Sec. Treas. Kelly Rister. The new members are in- ducted each year into the Soci- ety at an impressive candle- lighting ceremony. A reception for the parents and members follows in the school library. Members inducted this year were juniors Jodi Baggett, Anne Dodd, Paige Farish, Les- ley Foster, Rhonda Johns, Dowl Knight, Gale Nettles, Beth Powers, Becky Sams, and Paulette Warren. The seniors inducted were Scott Dean and Jean McJunkin. Membership of the National Honor Society also included 16 seniors who were installed during their ju- nior year.

The Talon Staff worked hard to produce a yearbook which would provide memories of the 1981-82 school year. Last June, five mem- bers of the staff and their advisor, Mrs. Susan Nettles, attended the Josten’s Yearbook Workshop at Presbyterian College. They learned numerous ideas and received “honor- able mention” for their layout design. Many people do not realize how much time and effort are put into creating an annual. There are layouts to be drawn, pictures to be taken, copy to be written, and deadlines to be met! Although it consumes many hours, it is very rewarding. It would not have been possi- ble to produce the Talon without the section editors, photographers, the other members, and Mrs. Nettles who is so very understand- ing. (Above), Photographer Bruce Hensely has magical powers of being 20 places at once to take pictures. Somehow we found him!

Highlights were the Christmas edition and the spe- cial senior edition. The staff worked diligently to insert differ- ent types of articles into the newspaper. For example, a My- stery Teacher section was added. Clues were given about a teacher beginning with the letters in my- stery teacher. Another added fea- ture this year was the inclusion of the Citizenship awards presented to different students in grades 1-7. The Ideal Girl and Boy section was also changed somewhat. More areas were added such as personality; smile; physique, for boys; and body, for girls. Each publication included other arti- cles concerning campus and com- munity news. The members of the staff tried to recognize as many people as possible, both young and old. (Top left). Staff reporter Kathleen Simmons finds Seniors’ letters to Santa amusing.

Each group met every other Thursday night to tape the show that aired the fol- lowing Saturday night at 11:30 on WALD. Each pro- gram consisted of campus news, local news, and school sports. Also, album features and comedy routines were aired. One featured comedy routine was the continuing saga of Wilfredo’s Island, the story of a narcotics agent Neydermeir and two drug dealers, Wilfredo and Pepe, who were marrooned on a desert island.

Mrs. Tramel was the advisor of the French Club for the third year. The Club began the new school year with a party and cook-out at member Angela Southard’s house. Everyone was intro- duced to a little French culture when Mrs. Tramel demonstrated the proper way to make crepes. After that, all the members wanted to try flipping the crepes. The Club was busy throughout the year with different outings and fund raising projects, including several cake raffles. Most of the money raised went towards prizes awarded at the end of the year to the best French I, II, and III students. The officers who were in- strumental in these activities were Pres. Lesley Foster, Vice-Pres. Grace Ann Mitchell, and Sec. Treas. Paige Grayson. (Above), Officers Grace Ann Mitchell, Lesley Foster, and Paige Grayson are French enthusiasts. (Above), John Bennett and Todd Bud- din clown around at a French Club par- ty. Activities 85 Experiments And Action T The Science Club, sponsored by Miss Boynton and Mr. Hart- shorn, started its second year of existence with the election of officers. The officers chosen were Pres. Todd Buddin, Vice- Pres. Joey Ritter, and Sec- Treas. Carlton Progroski. The Club also made many plans for the upcoming year. Their big- gest goal, a trip to Cape Canav- eral in Florida, seemed almost impossible. They began raising money by having carwashes, bake sales, cake raffles, rum- mage sales, and even a bike-a- thon. The Science Club also planned to give a scholarship to a student pursuing a career in the field of science.

Activities 87 Marching Right Along The 1981-82 Marching Warhawks were under the direction of first year band director Mr. Ed- die Lemacks. Although small in number, this year's band had determination and the ability to win. They worked hard last summer at a band camp held August 10-14 at John C. Gale Nettles, first year Drum Major, also attended the Drum Major Corp at USC July 9-11. They presented exciting half-time shows and participated in dif- ferent competitions throughout the year. The band received a 2nd place trophy at Barnwell on October 3 and also competed in the Palmetto Band Classic held in Walterboro on October 10. However, the greatest honor was when our Marching Warhawks won 3rd place in the State competitions held October 24. They showed ev- eryone what they were capable of doing. The band also presented two concerts, one at Christ- mas and one in the spring. (Above), These members make playing a musical instrument seem easy! (Above), They are definitely spirit boosters! 88 Activities Johnny Smoak, a member of the band for five years, plays the trombone. He was se- lected to perform with both the U.S. Navy Band and the band for the Governor’s Tree Lighting Ceremony. Johnny claims that what he enjoyed most about the band was “the band trips!” (Top left). The Marching Warhawks stand at attention before playing the National Anthem.

Activities 89 The Beginner and Junior Band, di- rected by Mr. Eddie Lemacks, was made up of students in grades 4-7. The band met once a week during school hours to practice; however, each member had to practice every day at home. All these aspiring mu- sicians hope to one day be a proud member of the Marching Warhawk Band. With so many dedicated and hardworking Junior and Beginner Band members, John C. can be as- sured of having a winning band for many years to come. On Our Way Lynn Smith, Jr. Band member, has been playing the clarinet three years. Lynn doesn't mind all the practice because she real- izes hard work is neces- sary to achieve her goal of “playing and marching with the big band and go- ing with them to competi- tions.” (Right center), Trumpets and little boys — they just seem to go togeth- er.

Thursday was Occupation Day, and Friday was Original Blue and White Day. Activities 91 Sponsor Me, Please! The high school girls dreamed of hearing these three words in the weeks preceding the Homecoming football game. They knew what an hon- or it would be to be asked to sponsor one of the senior foot- ball players. This year there were 13 senior players, Robbie Robertson, Sheldon Girardeau, Mark Socha, John Hydrick, Mark Davis, Madison Utsey, Mark McRoy, Walter Hiott, Da- vie Strickland, Jamie Smoak, Greg Barnes, Jimmy Mitchell, and Richard Breland. Each of these players escorted his spon- sor onto the field before the game.

At half-time of the football game, Elaine Flowers was crowned 1981-82 Homecoming Queen. In addition to this honor, Elaine was Head Varsi- ty Cheerleader, co-captain of the Varsity Girl’s Basketball team, copy editor of the an- nual, president of the National Honor Society, a member of the tennis team, and Powder Puff participant.

Activities 95 Southern Nights What lasted only one brief night, but required a whole year of preparation? The Ju- nior-Senior Dance is the an- swer. Last autumn when school started so did the money-raising business. The juniors who were in charge of the prom, worked throughout the year trying to raise enough money to have the best prom ever. They sold magazines, Christ- mas ornaments, candles, can- dy at both school and base- ball games, doughnuts, and food from the lunch canteen to cover the costs of the dance. (Top Right), Table 8 is evidently a popular meeting place at the prom. (Left center). It’s still in the planning stage, but it's starting to come together.

At one point, the senior girls led 14-0 on Kelly Rister’s rushing. But Tandy Young and company re- fused to die. Both teams regarded the game seriously and fought deter- minedly to win. In fact, the game has developed into a fierce local rivalry that is second only to the Carolina- Clemson contest. (Top right). Isn’t she lovely?

Mark Da- vis, Mark Socha, and John Hydrick, who were each dressed as a die, won the contest. ,ASM 100 Activities Sports 101 Many positive points came out of the 1981 football season. In past years the team’s atti- tude has been a lackadaisical one; but in the past two years the team has taken pride in it- self and has had two of the best records in John C, athletic his- tory. The coaches this year. Kit Alewine, Robert Axson, and Rhea Faris, instilled a winning tradition on the Warhawk foot- ball team. The team proved a lot of things in 1981, especially to the fans, who supported the squad through thick and thin. The final record of 6-4 was an improvement from last year, but losses to Hammond and Thomas Heyward ruined the Hawks’ hopes to be State Champions, The Talon Staff would like to thank Dan John- son and The Press and Stan- dard for allowing them to use some of their pictures in the an- nual.

Sports 105 ’81 Season A very enthusiastic War- hawk team traveled to Ehr- hardt on Sept. 4 to play Andrew Jackson in the first game of the football season. With revenge on their minds, the Hawks proved themselves to the Con- federates with a decisive win and a score of 49-7. The follow- ing Friday, Jefferson Davis came to town for John C.’s first home game. The vigorous Hawks beat the Raiders 26-0. The team's first loss of 7-8 was against Wilson Hall. J.C.C.A. won on statistics but lost due to questionable calls. Wade Hampton was next on the schedule. The Hawks got a touchdown and two points just before the half and held the lead for an 8-0 victory. The team then played Robert E. Lee. Although it was a fight- marred game, the Warhawks defeated the Cavaliers 26-0. The game with Hammond was a very important one in John C.’s hopes to go to the state playoffs. The score was 0-0 at the half, but the bigger and stronger Hammond team wore down the Hawks in the second half and won 28-0. The Home- coming game against Williams- burg proved to be exciting. The Warhawks overpowered the Stallions for a 36-6 triumph. Thomas Heyward handed J.C.C.A. their third loss in Ridgeland with a score of 30-0. The loss shattered the Hawks' final hopes to go to the playoffs. In the next game, John C. came from behind in the fourth quar- ter to defeat Willington 21-14. May River came to Walterboro for the final game of the season. The Patriots’ quick defense never allowed the Warhawks to be effective on the score- board, and they won 19-0. J.C.C.A. ended their season with a disappointing loss but with a solid record of six wins and four losses.

Team Ends Season 5-2 The J.V. football team had a terrific season this year with only two losses. These losses were incurred with only AAA teams, Wade Hampton and Willington Academy. Howev- er, the team did beat the other five AA and A teams. Robbie Free had a outstanding season. He scored most of the touch- downs for the J.V. Hawks this season. This year the team was coached by Rhea Faris and Robert Axson. With a season ending 5-2, the boys who par- ticipated in grades seven through ten should be very proud.

BEST AND WORST When asked what were the best and worst games of the season, there were various opinions stated. One participant said that the worst game was against Thomas Heyward. However, another said that it had to be against Wade Hamp- ton. In the opinion of other players, most preferred to re- member the best games. One athlete exclaimed that he be- lieved the game against Patrick Henry was the best because of the closeness of the score. But, another disagreed. He believed the game against Dorchester was the better of the two. Al- though the opinions of the worst and best game varied, the team all agreed that they had a very good season. 108 Sports Robbie Free tries to get away and may go for a touchdown. Robbie Free has a lot of good blockers to help him break away outside. Even a Warhawk player can lose their footing on the field. Sports 109 Working Together Pays Off This year the Varsity Boys’ basketball team was pleased to have a new coach, Mr. Henry Bouton, a 1980 graduate of the Citadel. This was his first high school coaching job; however, he was an assistant coach at P.C. last season. Because the Warhawks were doing so well they were ranked ninth in the state at one point. This was their first ranking since the 1979 season. The Second Annu- al Warhawk Invitational Tour- nament was a big success; the boys finished first with wins over Holly Hill and First Bap- tist. Moreover, Mark Socha and Sheldon Girardeau were cho- sen for the All-Tournament Team. Girardeau was also cho- sen Most Valuable Player of the tournament. Graduation will take its toll this year with sev- en seniors graduating. John Hydrick, Jimmy Mitchell, Mark Socha, Bruce Hensley, Sheldon Girardeau, Gary Headden, and Mark Davis will be missed greatly next season.

Girls Were Big At Heart The J.V. girl's basketball team, coached by Mr. Rhea Faris, ended the season with a disappointing record. Although the team suffered many losses, the girls had more enthusiasm than ever. If effort and determi- nation were the factors used to decide the outcome of a game, the Little Lady Hawks would have won every time. With only two freshmen and eleven eighth graders, most of the players are expected to return next season. Good luck to them all. Sports 121 Squad Promotes Spirit .. . The Varsity Cheerleaders worked hard this year to pro- mote school spirit and to cheer the Warhawks on to victory. Along with their sponsor, Mrs. Helen Riddle, the cheerleaders attended a camp sponsored by the Universal Cheerleaders' Association at Columbia Col- lege last July. While working vigorously at camp, they learned many routines, cheers, sideline yells, and ways to in- volve the fans and students in athletic activities. In addition, they performed a comedy skit on Talent Night. Each day the squad was evaluated on the performance of cheers that they had learned. They- won three “excellent ribbons and four “superior ribbons for the evaluations. On the final day of the long, tiring week, all of the girls' efforts proved to be worthwhile when both the Var- sity and Junior Varsity squads were awarded one of the covet- ed “spirit sticks. Their spirit prevailed in supporting the Warhawks in times of victory and defeat. The cheerleaders greatly appreciated the tre- mendous support of the fans, students, players, and Mrs. Rid- dle throughout the year. Tandy Young and Elaine Flowers show off their new pom pom routine.

District Finalist Being a Junior Varsity cheer- leader at John C. is a great ex- perience and a lot of hard work. Mostly, being a cheerleader is making new friends and cheer- ing your team on to a victory. But, it is also making the fans get involved. The spirit and ex- citement of the games are times the squad will always treasure. Going to Columbia College for a week session of camp was an effort these girls made to be the very best that they could be. During the summer camp, the squad won five “superior” and three “excellent” ratings from the judges. Futhermore, at the end of the week the cheer- leaders were elected as district finalist. A special thanks goes to Mrs. Susan Upchurch, the squad's sponsor.

It was the last game of the best of three series which was tied 1-1. Going into the sixth inning, the score was close with Wilson Hall leading 6-5. The Hawks were unable to score and the Barons went on to edge them, thus ending their chance to move on to the state tournament. The final record, 13-8, did have some bright spots and overall the War hawks did a fine job.

It is almost time to do these things again; but, before summer arrives, take one last look over the 1981-82 school year to recap- ture the many memories that make it special. The Talon re- flects the days we have spent at John C. through pictures; how- ever, each individual must in his own mind help to revive the memories of these days we have shared together. By remi- niscing, we realize that this school year has truly been unique. 178 Closing n rr A Dedication To A Special Friend For nine years, Mrs. Janis Blocker has given her time, effort, and devotion unyielding to the students at John C. Calhoun Academy both in and out of the classroom. Throughout the years, Mrs. Blocker has been the advisor of the broadcast club, the Warhawk, and many academic com- petition teams. Last summer, she received her Masters De- gree from the Citadel after five years of hard work. In addi- tion to her school activities, she also took the responsibility for an exchange student, Mimi Miyamoto, who says that Mrs. Blocker is just like her second mother. Mrs. Blocker envies the many opportunities that are open to young people today, and she enjoys her students' spirit, enthusiasm, and zest for life. She says that teaching is like reliving adolescence in that “vitality in youth keeps me feel- ing young at heart.” When students were asked how they felt about Mrs. Blocker, many agreed that she is much more than a teacher — she is a special friend. Others feel that a great deal is learned from her method of teaching, and that she knows how to relate to students. With much love and appreciation, the annual staff proudly dedicates the 1982 Talon to Mrs. Janis Blocker. 180 Dedication josraiiis M=!WC N XsdUIOOf com nv
