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.

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.

John C. Calhoun Acade- my does not limit itself to academic endeavors, but expands to include ex- tracurricular activities which provide an outlet for fun and enjoyment. The pur- poses of the activities and clubs at J.C.C.A. are numer- ous. Through their projects, students learn about work- ing together, giving to oth- ers, and sharing with one an- other.
