Getting It All Together Each weekday morning be- fore the sun even rises, alarm clocks ring all over Colleton County to awaken the students of John C, Calhoun Academy. Upon hearing the noisy disturbance, each stu- dent reluctantly drags himself out of bed and heads for the shower. While going through the usual morning routine of getting ready for school, he thinks of the upcoming day and what it will involve — tests, homework, jobs, and var- ious other activities. When the students arrive at school, they talk to their friends until the bell rings for them to begin an- other school day. The first four class periods are spent in dili- gent work until at last the lunch break begins. After eat- ing, the students once again mingle with their peers to cont. on p. 4 Ninth graders, Brown McLeod, Billy Howell, David Glenn, and Danny Beach, make the best of their recess by reading their favorite books.

cont. from p. 3 catch up on the gossip that has recently developed. Another bell rings to summon the stu- dents to their fifth-period classes. When a student hears this bell, he knows that only two more classes remain in the school day. Upon the sound of the final bell, students hurry to their lockers to get their books and rush to their cars to go to practice, jobs, or home. The majority of J.C.C.A. students go home after school where they usually relax while eating and watching T.V. As night ap- proaches, students begin to study, and then, if time per- mits, watch television or talk on the telephone. When the clock nears eleven, the time most older students retire, ev- eryone thinks about getting it all together for the next day! Having recently formed a rock band, Harold Blocker and Jeff Stewart show off their black jackets which are part of their band’s attire. Ashley Woodard and Daniel Garris practice writing the alphabet in Mrs. Warren’s kindergarten class. Becky Bennett and Allyson Haynes obviously think they know how to fix cars. 4 Opening
