The energetic lower school really enjoys playing on the playground during recess. After being freshly painted, the Warhawk stadium is ready for an exciting football sea- son. The 1984-85 year brought many changes to the campus of J.C.C.A. The grounds were landscaped, new programs were added, and a feeling of pride was prevalent through- out the school. Much work went into making these changes. The Booster Club worked long and hard all Summer to beautify the school grounds. These dedicated parents generously donated their time to provide the students of John C. with a better atmosphere in which to learn. J.C.C.A. has always tried to give the best, well-rounded education possible. Adding teachers, landscaping the grounds, improving school attitudes, and broadening the areas of available courses were only a few of the changes that added to the high standards that J.C.C.A. upholds. :;rrs-T-r;::: ■ am , S’ Junior Scmjia Smoak finds it easy to type prob- lems on her newly repaired typewriter. .£«3 . 1 ' 1 F sWTL. f Opening 3 Changes In . . . Various programs of study were added to the curriculum at J.C.C.A. this year. This gave the students the opportunity to choose from a variety of subjects. The high school students had the advantage over many because they could take courses that really interested them. Through the years, these students have been able to choose from psychology, physics, pre- calculus, and advanced courses in French. With the arrival of new faculty members, computer science and Spanish also became available. High school students were not the only ones who were able to take advantage of the new and exciting developments made in the educa- tional program. Students in the middle and lower schools were exposed to an enrichment program in which they were taught the basics of foreign language. Along with learning the language of a foreign country went learning Miss Sharon Mole, a new addition to the facul- ty, brings Spanish as well as French to the stu- dents of J.C.C.A. Soccer can now be enjoyed by the younger stu- dents along with a variety of other sports. the language of computers. Students in the middle school had access to these computers in order to prepare for later years. Algebra was also moved to the lower grades. This was done with the objective of preparing students for higher math later on in school. Another program which was provided for the middle and lower schools was the physical education program. Because physical fitness is one of the keys to good health, the students were taught a wide variety of sports. These classes and the new academic courses gave the students the chance to pursue their interests. Opening 5 Changes In . . .

Miss Haynes carefully grades composition essays. There were several addi- tions to the faculty this year. The first to arrive was head- master Robert Bennett and approximately ten new facul- ty members followed. The new coaching staff and other teachers were very well-re- ceived by the students. Ener- getic and enthusiastic, these new teachers came in and got involved right away with the athletics and clubs of the school. The faculty at J.CC.A. are truly special. They serve above and beyond the call of duty. The teachers share friendships with the students and also serve as fine exam- ples to be admired. They are a very devoted group. Mrs. Smoak and Mrs. Linder advise the Senior class about their trip. Coach Meegan and Mr, McArthur have become two real WaThawk fans.

This is not just cheering at the game, wearing spirit ribbons, or being on the team. School spirit is the pride that a student has in his school. John C. Calhoun Academy has a lot to be proud of. The quality of its teachers, the high standards of academic achievement the var- ious available clubs, and the variety of person- alities make our school stand apart from the rest. This year, this pride could be seen all over the campus of J.C.C.A. As the students walked down the halls, friendly smiles were always being exchanged. The teachers were always willing to go that extra mile for the stu- dents, and the students felt a new appreciation for the faculty members. In the 1984-85 year, the school was also bound together by the close friendships that the students shared. The student body was just that — a body of stu- dents who were united by a feeling of togeth- erness. This year the students felt proud to be War- hawks. They were proud of what John C. stands for. That is what school spirit is all about. -V — ■ ..v ■ ..v .1 : ■.v . 8 Opening One of the largest football teams ever stands for the playing of the Alma Mat- er.

The Student Council helped the students and school in many ways this year. It gave a chance for the students to voice their opinions on many important issues in the school. They were able to do this through the representatives and of- ficers elected by the student body. The officers were as follows: Robbie Free, president; Matthew Addison, vice president; and Gene Simmons, secretary-treasurer. Be- fore the officers were chosen, each gave a speech on how he would serve the school, and the students then voted on the winners. The Student Council tried to in- volve students in various activities to promote school spirit. They or- ganized different projects through- out the year which included sup- porting the bloodmobile, organiz- ing Homecoming festivities, giving food to the needy during Thanks- giving and Christmas, and decorat- ing bulletin boards. Their sponsor, Mrs. Wimberly, and the members worked hard to make improve- ments in J.C.C.A.

Most people do not realize the hard work and time that is put into the yearbook. It takes special peo- ple who have responsibility and patience to carry on such a job. This type of person could be found on the Talon Staff of 1985. In the summer, the members of the staff attended a Yearbook Camp at the University of Georgia. During the four days of camp, they took many courses on improving the yearbook which included learn- ing how to write better copy and how to design more advanced lay- outs. At the end of the week, they took part in a contest. Each staff at the camp had to make an eight- page miniature yearbook which in- cluded a cover, copy, captions, and pictures. The long hours of work paid off when the staff was award- ed a plaque for the best mini-year- book. The Talon Staff did exceptionally well this year, even though most of the members were new, including advisor Mrs. Hawes. Each member worked under an editor who was in charge of a certain section in the yearbook. Marsha McGinnis was the Editor-in-Chief. Section editors were Cathy Sams — Sports, Melo- dy McGinnis — Activities, Kim Moody — Faculty, Kristi Connelly — Classes, and Debbie Powers — Ads. Amy Goehring, Matthew Ad- dison, Duke Hipp, Jamie Gahagan, Holly Roberts, and Bud Williams were the photographers. The staff members included Sherrie Rizer, Mary Kate Dean, Kim Headden, Caroline Werntz, JoLynn Bennett, Allyson Haynes, Wendy Hiott, and Wendy Litchfield.

Al- though the staff had a slow start this year with the newspaper, they helped in printing the Shrieker, the school's bulletin with monthly news. Photographer Jamie Gaha- gan took pictures and did other work for the staff along with mem- bers from the Junior and Senior classes. The newspaper contained such articles as student spotlight, teacher features, class news, edito- rials, and sports.

The club made many plans for the year. Their biggest goal was the trip to Charleston for the J.E.T.S. Competition in which the students were tested on such subjects as bi- ology, math, chemistry, physics, English, computers, and calcula- tors. Last year, the members brought home trophies in biology and English. The club also partici- pated in different projects through- out the year such as the State Sci- ence Fair.

Meetings were held in the school gymnasium, and all stu- dents and parents were invited to attend. In these meetings, the offi- cers of the P.T.O. discussed differ- ent issues to inform the people of the business and happenings in the school. They also had an Open House at the beginning of the year to present the new faculty and headmaster to the parents. Communication Board meetings were held in the school library on Tuesday nights in which officers planned the upcoming programs. One such program was the Hallow- een Carnival on October 31. It turned out to be a huge success, and the money received from the tickets was used for future projects which included the Christmas program, Science Fair, and Academic Bowl. The officers were Mimi Werntz, President; Gail Howell, Vice Presi- dent; Linda Butler, Secretary; and Sydney Haynes, Treasurer. Both the P.T.O. and Communication Board were of great service during the school year. The younger students enjoy dressing up in various costumes for Halloween.

Halloween Carnival 31 It was Powderpuff season again, and the students could feel the ten- sion and excitement in the school. Before the game, there was much question as to which was the better team. After the first three minutes, the Senior-Sophomore team had taken control and continued to dominate for the rest of the even- ing. The scoring began when sopho- more Melody McGinnis ran a wide sweep to the outside for a touch- down. The Junior-Freshman de- fense stopped the two-point con- version, leaving the Seniors ahead 6-0. In the second quarter, running back Marsha McGinnis found the open hole and ran up the middle for a touchdown. Jan Ulmer raised the score as she snuck through the Junior defense for the two-point conversion. The Junior defense put up a strong fight, but they were no match for the offensive line of the Seniors. After the half, the Senior oftense struck again when Marsha McGinnis faked a reverse in the backfield and ran forth-five yards for the touchdown. This ended the game with a score of 20-0 giving the Seniors a 4-0 record.

From the three candidates of the Senior Class, only one was to be presented the crown during halftime. During the week, the high school students voted on the candi- dates by secret ballot. The lucky girl was Kim Moody, who was crowned by the previous queen. Carmen Long. Special events took place to arouse the students' spirits for the game. To top off the night, the War- hawks defeated St. Angela 48-7. The Junior Class sponsored a Homecoming dance for a victory cele- bration to which everyone was invited.

Thursday was All Saints' Day, and Friday was Origi- nal Blue and White Day. Also dur- ing the week, the cheerleaders sold spirit links to the different high school classes. The class which bought the most links and had the longest chain won the money pro- duced from the project. At the pep rally, the chains were stretched out, and the Senior Class won, receiving a check of more than a hundred dollars. uiimiliiinwii� iiiu.wini 11 iniwiwinini mm iMiiwiiawniiiiiirin-iiiBnriniiiininTmiiTriwiiiniriiiirinniirprm T i rfi.r,rT....... i Tfrr11— “r TT ....... ....; .

Night and day for two weeks, they sewed ceilings, built props, made flowers, and decorated tables to cre- ate an exotic atmosphere for that one special night. Secretly, their theme was developed, and plans that had been laid months before were carried out. Bon Voyage was the theme that created the illusion of an ocean voyage to the countries of Mexico, Jamaica, and the Congo of Africa. Pinatas, paper flowers, painted glass candles, and sombreros were abundant in the country of Mexico. The Congo was decorated with Tiki candles, totem poles, an African god, small bottles, and a popular hut, The Last Resort Jamaica was the scene for fish nets, shells, palm leaves, and food! Small cruise ships were found on each table to represent this exotic journey. Music was performed by the popular band. Back Roads. They provided for an evening of great dancing. This was certainly one trip to remember. The Juniors decorate the wall with beautiful African scenery. The ushers anxiously wait at the door to escort the girls into the dance.

Seniors 51 1 Best Of Times In 1981, a group of ninth grad- ers entered high school to spend four years they would never for- get. In 1985, these same students were able to look back as Seniors and cherish the memories. The Class of '85 started as under- classmen who were uncertain of the years to come and worked their way up to being Seniors. The Seniors were faced with many decisions in 1985. The un- certainty felt during the early years of high school emerged once again as the students began choosing colleges. Responsibil- ity required to make these deci- sions was prevalent in each per- son. The time of being confused had come and gone, and the stu- dents handled their choices well. Being Seniors required a lot of the Class of '85, and they met the challenge with real maturity. Shan Pye shows that a senior can monkey around just as much as a first grader. Cathy Sams comes to the library to get the last of her work done before class. Lara Craven and Tonya McClure enjoy their free time by talking and catching up on homework. 52 5eniors Joey Craven shows his muscles from foot- ball weight training in which he exceles. Prissy Ramsey shows the latest fashion — wet look, that she achieved by taking a dip. Dawn Hudson finds that the funnies are funny instead of studying for a civics test. Karen Crosby thinks literature is a VERY interesting subject at 8:30 in the morning. Seniors 53 Lisa Avant and Melanie Easterlin find their home on the range . Robbie Free, Joey Craven, Rob Young, and Rhett Turner experience the weight of be- ing a Senior. A few Seniors decide to join the ducks. 54, Seniors ■ A ■ Class Of 1985 ROBERT KEVIN FREE HOBBIES: skiing and hunting QUOTE: Mondays are an awful way to spend one-seventh of your life.

Rhett Turner, Rob Young, and Shan Pye are trying hard to pass a killer physics test. 56 Seniors I Special Times The Senior year was a special time to the students of the Class of '85. Most of the members of the Senior Class were enrolled in John C. in kindergarten. Together, they went through the kindergarten play, social studies pro- jects, bug collections, and research papers. They shared good times as well as bad. Planning the Ju- nior-Senior Prom, working together to raise money, going on a Senior picnic — these are only a few of the things that brought the class together. They also shared the experiences of taking the SAT, cramming for tests, and dealing with the daily pressures of high school. As the Class of '85 en- joyed the privileges of be- ing Seniors, they were con- stantly reminded of their years spent at John C. Leaving close friends and special teachers to start life and go off to college brought tears to the eyes of many as they realized throughout the year that high school was drawing to a close. Although they feel ready to accept the chal- lenge of leaving home, the Class of '85 will never for- get the strong friendships built at J.C.C.A. Bubba Williams shows that elementary stu- dents aren't the only ones who can play in the cement pipe. The library seems to he a popular place for Susan Thomas and Dawn Hudson during their study hall. Having visited the stables, this group of Seniors heads back to the picnic.

Class Of 1985 64 Seniors Times To Remember Seniors 65 Senior Superlatives MR. AND MS. WARHAWK Shan Pye and Marsha McGinnis were selected for this most presti- gious senior superlative. Each year the faculty considers the Sen- ior Class as a whole and looks for the two students who are an ex- ample of all the superlatives com- bined. They search for the boy and girl who show the most re- sponsibility, involvement, deter- mination, and promise along with academic success. Throughout their years in school, Shan and Marsha fulfilled these qualities. Shan participated in sports such as football, basketball, and base- ball. He also served as a member of the Broadcast Club and of the J.E.T.5. Club. Marsha was the captain of the Varsity cheer- leaders, the editor of the Talon, and a member of the Warhawk staff, N.H.S., J.E.T.S. Club, and powderpuff football team. Both Shan and Marsha were listed in Who's Who Among American High School Students. After graduation, Shan plans to attend Presbyterian College, and Marsha plans to go to Converse College. MOST ATHLETIC Robbie Free and Jan Ulmer were chosen for this superlative on the basis of their willingness to par- ticipate and ability to excel in the athletics of the school. Jan was involved in basketball, softball, and powderpuff football and hopes to pursue sports in college. Robbie took part in athletics for several years. He played basket- ball, football, and baseball. Both of these Warhawks were fine ex- amples of true sportsmanship. WITTIEST David Ritter and Wanda Priester were chosen by the Seniors as the funniest in the class. Each was able to bring a smile to anyone's face with a joke, a laugh, or sim- ply a different style of clothes. Each had a unique sense of humor that was a bright spot in the class. MISS DAR Sallie Neal was awarded this hon- or by the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution. She was chosen on the basis of her character and citizenship. Most Athletic ■ -W ' Miss DAR Wittiest 66 Superlatives MOST CONGENIAL Bubba Williams and Kim Moody were selected as the friendliest people in the class. They were al- ways there to lend a helping hand to whomever needed it Their con- sideration for others was evident by the cheerful smiles that they shared with their classmates. Bubba and Kim were the epitome of congeniality. MOST VERSATILE Rob Young and Marsha McGin- nis were two students who were involved in virtually every activ- ity in the school. Rob and Marsha took part in athletics, publica- tions, and almost all of the clubs at J.C.C.A. Each was able to han- dle responsibility in several orga- nizations at the same time, and managed to keep up good grades. Their versatility helped them in becoming very well-rounded indi- viduals. MOST CONSCIENTIOUS Kevin Hinton and Cathy Sams proved themselves to be extreme- ly responsible students. They could always be depended on to do a good job at almost any task. Their commitment to perfection took them far as leaders in the classroom as well as in the organi- zations of the school. MOST SCHOOL SPIRITED Shan Pye and Marsha McGinnis were fine examples of school spir- it. Shan showed his spirit as a member of the football, basket- ball, and baseball teams. He was always the first to encourage his fellow teammates to do well. As a Varsity cheerleader, Marsha dis- played her spirit on the sidelines. Win or lose, she could always be found cheering for the War- hawks. Shan and Marsha not only had spirit in the area of sports, but also showed true school spirit in every area of J.C.C.A.

One such activity was the Kindergarten Play in which they used The Circus as the theme. The children worked hard rehearsing for the program with the help of their directors, Mrs. Hiers and Mrs. Warren. The parents contributed to the program by building the props used in the play. To go along with the theme, the children were able to dress up as their favorite animals such as monkeys and lions, and many of the students painted their faces to look like clowns. The program was a great success. The children line up on stage to rehearse the program one last time. Mrs. Hiers and Mrs. Warren help the chil- dren find their spots in the play. This kindergartener is shy when it comes to talking into the microphone. 94 Kindergarten Play An End To The Beginning Kindergarten graduation was the end to the beginning of education for fifty-two shining faces. Many of the students will remember the excitement and warmth they felt that night, and the parents will never forget the pride they felt as they watched their child ramble around the gym floor in cap and gown before the ceremony. After a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, the students sang My Country 'Tis of Thee and recited the Twenty Third Psalm. Then the students marched up on stage to receive their diplomas as many emotional applauses sounded from the audience. Much will be expected from this class in the next twelve years. But they will always remember the fun times and the educational exper- ience they had with Mrs. Hiers and Mrs. Warren. Who knows what these students will do in the fu- ture? But for now, their Kindergar- ten Graduation is a long-lasting memory. The kindergarten class of 1984 anxiously awaits the moment to receive their diplo- mas. Danielle Dantzler receives help from Mrs. Warren after getting her diploma. The kindergarten graduation class recites the Lord's Prayer to open the ceremony. 95 It's Finally Over! Excitement, tears, anxiety, ques- tions of the future, and the thoughts that it is finally over go along with high school graduation. On May twenty-fifth, the Class of 84 said so long but not good-bye to the friends they made at John C. Each one of the graduates will take with him memories of his school days. At eight o clock in the evening, on May twenty-fifth, the Com- mencement of 1984 began. After the Processional, the Rev. Robert B. Morehead gave the Invocation, and later, the Benediction. The Saluta- torian, Randy Addison, gave the welcome. Dr. Joseph Flowers intro- duced Rev. O. Woody Hammett, who was to give the address. Then came the big moment — the pre- sentation of diplomas by Dr. Jo- seph Flowers. Randy Warren pre- sented the class gift and Robbie Free accepted the position of Stu- dent Council President for '84-'85. A fond farewell was said by the Valedictorian, Jenny Savela. After the Benediction and Recessional, the ceremony was finally over for twenty-nine of the finest young men and women to step through the doors of John C. Calhoun Acad- emy. Remember the words of George Cohen, Always leave them laugh- ing when you say goodbye. Salutatorian Randy Addison delivers his touching welcome. Paige Grayson and Dominique Marotto congratulate each other after the ceremony.

Starting the season with about thirty players, the Hawks came up on the short end 18-26. The second game brought the Pa- triots of Mims Academy to War- hawk country. Because of the earli- er defeat of the Patriots, head coach Tony Orsini said that he felt com- fortable'' about that game. But, the aftermath of the battle resulted in a disappointing 7-12 loss and left the Hawks with a 0-2 record. For their third game, the Hawks hosted the Wade Hampton Rebels and once again, the Hawks came up on the short end 0-37. Although this was their third loss in a row, the Hawks pulled themselves together and prepared for the fourth game which was against Patrick Henry. This road trip gave the Hawks their first victory with a 32-0 score, and brought back the once-lost spirit at John C. For the next game, the Hawks traveled to Ridgeland to battle arch-rival Thomas Heyward. This classic game brought yet an- other defeat for the Hawks with a score of 0-26. The sixth game, which was against East Copper, gave the Hawks their second victo- ry. Because it was Parent's Night, the boys were especially pleased with the game ending with a score of 40-22. The next Friday night took the Hawks to visit the Cal- houn Academy Cavaliers in St. Matthews. Even though the two football teams were almost equal in size and talent, the Cavaliers pre- vailed 13-27 over the Hawks. Coach Orsini then noted that everybody on his team was not playing 100 percent. For Homecoming, on Oc- tober 19, the St. Angela Saints, Coach Orsini's alma mater, trav- eled to Walterboro to try to beat the Hawks. Fortunately they did not succeed, and the Hawks won 48-7. Needless to say, the hardest week of practice had been well worth it. On the following Friday, the Hawks welcomed the May River Patriots, and unfortunately, an- other loss was added to the Hawks' record when the Patriots won 7-26. The last game, which decided which team went to the play-offs. left the Hawks with a crushed dream when the Country Day Reb- els defeated the Hawks 15-34. Even though the John C. Warhawks end- ed their season with a 3-7 record. Coach Orsini was pleased with his boys and is looking forward to a big improvement in the 1985 sea- son.

While in a meeting at which the team dis- cusses their expectations for the next game, some of the players find something to amuse themselves. Freshman Mike Hiott, the Hawks' first string kicker, attempts to build up his strength by working out in the weight room. As the referee signals that the touchdown has not yet been made, the Warhawks begin to get up so that they can re-group and try again.

The second game brought the Mims Academy Patriots to Waiter- boro. The Hawks gained yet an- other victory with the game ending in a 14-12 score. The following week took the Hawks to Ridgeland for a defeat of 14-26 by Thomas Heyward. Bad luck seemed to con- tinue for the Hawks as they were beaten 6-20 by Allendale. Hoping for a third victory, the Hawks trav- eled to Ehrhardt to play the An- drew Jackson Confederates. Fortu- nately the game ended in a satisfy- ing win with a 46-8 score showing. The following Thursday brought Patrick Henry to Walterboro. The baby Hawks captured their fourth victory with a 14-0 score. For the final game, the Hawks welcomed the Rebels of Thomas Heyward. Unfortunately the game ended an- other defeat with a score of 0-32. Even though the B-team lost the last game, ending the season with a 4-3 record is something of which to be proud. Looking disappointed, freshman Chad Brightwell rests on the bench after a long- and hard-played game. :.7i ,r: r'J' ; FRPSTlf [national] k B mJ PASTY SHOP . = (d Top row; Cam Werntz, Jay DeLoach, Bert Reeves, Donald Martin, Coach Jim McGill, Kevin Beach, Scott Craven, Samuel Hardee, Michael Ritter; Second row: Bubba Jones, Wayne Crosby, Todd Fennell, Chris Rowe, Eric Bennett, Heath Jones, Whitt Carter, Steve Smyly; Third Row; Chris Drawdy, Scott Glenn, Eric Warren, Michael Smith, and Jamie Bryan. 112.

At the bonfire before Homecoming, sisters Mar- sha (far left) and Melody McGinnis (above) dress as mourners for the effigy. Loving to cheer is only one of the qualities necessary to be a Varsity Cheerleader, The 1984-85 squad certainly loved their cheering. The cheerleaders loved it enough to at- tend U.C.A. Cheerleading Camp at Columbia College where they prac- ticed, and screamed their way to winning the overall camp cham- pionship. The squad loved it enough to cheer and show pride even when they were tired and needed to rest. The girls loved it enough to practice in the hot sum- mer and to cheer their hardest even when the team was too low to come back. Someday, because of cheer- leaders like these, school spirit will be had by all.

Junior Kim Head- den (above in the middle) definite- ly makes a change between these two pictures. 116 Varsity Cheerleaders Bundles Of Enthusiasm Although the 1984-85 junior var- sity cheerleading squad had some of the same characteristics as all other squads — grueling practices, exhausting camps, colorful poster- painting, and undying spirit — this year's edition had a personality all its own. These girls had enthusi- asm, and they brought that excite- ment to their peers. For instance, this year, the first B-team pep rally was held in the gymnasium by the cheerleaders. Whatever the task was that the cheerleaders were re- quired to complete, they upheld their responsibilities with bundles of enthusiasm.

Despite a lack of heighth, the Hawks used their blistering quick- ness and hustling defense to under- cut several of their opponents. The team was led by a host of promi- nent individual talent: Shan Pye gave team leadership in difficult situations. The ball handling of Pat Harmon and the outstanding shooting of Brian Strickland also helped to make the Hawks a well- balanced squad. With these three young men, as well as the other team members, and also with their never-failing persistence and deter- mination, the boys proved to be a satisfying group to watch. Junior Danny Beach dribbles the ball down the court while he thinks about how to ex- ecute the play.

Varisty Boys' Basketball 123 Heroes In Hand-me-downs Under the excellent coaching of Ron Lassiter and David Mac- Arthur, the Junior Varsity Boys' basketball team of 1984-85 did a fine job of executing this season. Led by such talented individuals as Mike Hiott and Chad Brightwell, the team found it difficult to unite the many individual skills when playing as a whole. With this un- successfulness, a few disappointing games were experienced by the he- roes in hand-me-downs. Even so, the boys continued to play with en- thusiasm and determination throughout the entire season. At the end of the basketball year, the boys agreed that even though the record was disappointing, the hard work at practices had proven to be very rewarding. As five of the Hawks play their best on the court, coaches Ron Lassiter (far left) and Da- vid MacArthur concentrate on the game.

Lane Trammell, a second-year veteran at John C, helps the scoring by putting an easy two points on the board as her teammate Wendy Ulmer watches. 126 Varsity Girls' Basketball Talent Reflects Success From the time when the specta- tors and fans proclaimed the Hawks to be one of the best teams seen in a while, much speculation was focused on the Lady Hawks, The senior-dominated team sailed into Christmas with a five-win re- cord having suffered only two de- feats. The highlight of the season As senior Jan Ulmer shoots a smoothly ex- ecuted lay-up, she adds two more points to her high school record of more than a thou- sand points. came also during the Christmas season with the Hawks capturing first place in the First Annual J.C.C.A. Tip-off Tournament. Along with that thrill, a few of the girls were named to the all-tourna- ment team, while Jan Ulmer was given the honor of Most Valuable Player of the tournament. After the first of the new year, the Hawks' starting line-up soon struck fear into the hearts of players every- where. Although the team is losing four starters due to graduation, sev- eral underclassman can fill the leading roles in the future. With such talent prevailing in the hal- lowed trails of John C., it is no sur- prise that there was much success in the 1984-85 season. Before the game, coaches Carol Meegart and Rhonda Rister (far left), a basketball alum- nis of John C., discuss the upcoming event as they wait for the warm-up period to end.

By the end of the sea- son, it looked as if the girls had learned the funamentals of basket- ball and how to play as a team. The squad showed tremendous determi- nation and effort throughout the season. There were several success- ful moments on the courts, proving that practice and hard work pay off. The J.V. girls team had a better re- cord than years' past. Hopefully the J.V. squad will continue to improve and post a winning season for next year.

Perfected It. After ending the regular season with nine wins and four losses, the 1984 varsity baseball team ad- vanced to the conference play-offs. The first play-off game, which was against the Wade Hampton Rebels, ended in a 5-3 victory for the Hawks. Later on that day, the Hawks played the Willington Pa- triots, and unfortunately, the Hawks lost 8-9. Even though the Hawks had to settle for the confer- ence runner-up slot, they were able to compete for the State Champion- ship. The team was scheduled to play three games against the Wil- son Hall Barons. The first team to win two out of those three games was to play either Robert E. Lee or Willington for the championship. Much to their dismay, the Hawks lost the first game 9-5. The second game had a much better outcome with the Hawks capturing a 1-0 vic- tory. It looked like the Hawks had a good chance to be the State Cham- pions but bad luck still prevailed. The third and decisive game ended with the Hawks coming up on the short end 8-10. Even so, some hope prevailed after that game because a controversial call made by one of the umpires was protested by the Hawks. Nothing ever became of the protest; therefore, the Hawks finished the entire season with a 11-6 record. At the awards banquet, coaches Robert Axson and Doug Beckhart recognized all of the talented play- ers, but three of them imparticular. Most valuable player Joey Ritter, along with Reggie Woods and Bert Snyder were named All-Conference players. Reggie and Joey were also given the honor of being chosen for the All-South baseball team. mm As the Hammond Skyhawk swings at the approaching baseball, junior Shan Pye prepares his glove for the possible catch.

Coached by Alan Taylor and Scott Hart- shorn, the girls practiced diligently every day after school until their catching and batting skills were perfected. Ending the season with a 6-6 record made the team happy and satisfied, and since there were only three seniors, the 1985 season looks to be promising. During the awards banquet, Car- men Long was presented the most valuable player award by coaches Taylor and Hartshorn. She was chosen for that honor by her team- mates.

Softball 137 The Baby Blues For the second consecutive year, the junior varsity baseball team had an unusual season. Head- coached by Robert Axson, and as- sistant-coached by Chuck Bishop, the team consisted of a little under fifteen players. Many of those players were also members of the varsity baseball team; therefore, they had to complete double of the usual workload. With many of the boys' participating on both of the teams, it was difficult to schedule games for the Baby Blues ' The team only played five games, but it ended its season with a 2-2-1 re- cord, with which they were satis- fied and proud. During the awards banquet, the players were recognized by coaches Robert Axson and Chuck Bishop.

Tee Consisting of five dedicated members, the 1984 golf team ended its season with a 6-4 record. After losing the first match to Beaufort, the boys decided that this year they were going to prove to the John C. fans just how good they were. They did prove their theory not only to the fans but also to themselves. After the regular season matches, the boys, along with one of their coaches, Lee Ray Moody, traveled to Santee for the two-day State Tournament. The boys brought home the honor of being the fifth- seeded team out of eight teams in South Carolina. At the Athletic Awards Banquet, the two coaches, Lee Ray Moody and Randy Peters, named Billy Howell as the most improved golf- er and Bubba Williams as the most valuable player. These boys, along with the other members of the team, agreed that next year should be an equally, if not more success- ful, season since ail five players are returning.

Occassionally last year, the girls' tennis team traveled to their match- es with the boys' tennis team. Coached by Tuck McConnell and Kenny Rowe, the boys had hoped to do better than an 0-5 record, but considering that the team had not had much experience, the situation was understood. During the awards banquet, Mr. Godwin honored Cindy Smith with the hustle award, Kim Headden with the most improved award, and Grace Ann Mitchell with most valuable player award.

Whether it be a vari- ation in clothes, personality, or hairstyle, every student possesses one characteristic that makes him special. The variety of styles present at John C, come together to form a single body of stu- dents made up of very differ- ent individuals. This year there were many changes in style. Students were constantly seeking to ex- press themselves in many dif- ferent ways. Fashion was one predominant way to show style — from the mild to the extravagant. Personalities also showed changes as stu- dents strived to be unique. No matter what the change, every person is different and to- gether these students form a school in which a variety of people can work together.

Although her students are too young to understand her dedication and love for them, she gently enforces her beliefs in proper be- havior, knowing that she is laying a founda- tion for learning. Most of the five-year-olds in her class do not see her as a friend in the way they see their other classmates; however, she does more and cares more than any friend they will ever have. For this reason, the editors of the Talon are proud to dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. Hiers. Many students at John C. have fond memo- ries of Mrs. Hiers' class. Matt Addison is one of those who replied, Though she may seem strict and terrifying to a small child, the worst part of doing something wrong is knowing that you have disappointed her, though she never gives punishment without more than enough love to equal out the pain.
