John C Calhoun High School - Talon Yearbook (Walterboro, SC)

Text from Pages 1 - 176 of the 1987 volume:

JO 4S “I like going to John C. It’s small, but it makes it more like a close family.” — Becky Bennett “It is important to participate in school activities to benefit oneself and the school.” — Thomas Rowe “The association with people I like — both students and faculty — in a at- mosphere of learning is an exciting and rewarding experience.” — Betty Linder “Being a Junior means lots of hard- work; selling magazines and dough- nuts, It can also be fun planning for the various activities that Juniors sponsor,” — Net Turner % “Sports as well as schoolwork is an important way of showing one’s abili- ty to achieve new goals.” — John Hamilton m “It is important for all faculty mem- bers to be supportive of all school ac- tivities.” ■«— Toni Orsini Title Page A Year Worth Who could forget the first day of school, clinging to his mother’s side in fear of being abandoned. The room was filled with “little” strangers, each holding a small lunch box and a bright colored book sack. But as time past, things got better. The shyness wore off, and class- mates were no longer strangers but friends. In fact, they actually looked forward to school. Learning was a new and exciting experience. Kindergarten included more than just numbers and the alphabet. There was the thrilling ride on the fire truck — each child dreaming of being a fireman after the ride was over. The children also had their first appear- ance on stage during the annual kindergarten play. The themes stretched from “It’s a Small World” to “Mother Goose.” The year came to a close as tearful eyes of parents watched their child, dressed in white cap and gown, receive their diploma. It was not the end; it was the start of a new beginning. First grade held great wonders. Every Wednesday of show-and-tell the children shared their favorite toys with the class. Then, there was the exciting trip to Charles- town Landing. Next came second grade, then third, which included South Carolina history and multiplica- tion. Soon a whole new group of young faces took over the lower and middle schools, as the others experinced the new busy life of the high school. Each year was different, with new things to learn, see, and do. Each was “A Year Worth Looking Into!” 2 Opening Lights ... camera . -. action! The big opening night of the kindergar- ten play was an outstanding success! Unfortunately, they are a little too young to he volunteer firemen, but that doesn’t mean they’re not willing to try. Who says first graders aren't studi- ous? Just look at how eager they are to learn. Before Open House, ttk artists put the finishing on their pictures. Stretching each day will help you grow — Becky Sineath tests this hypothesis. Tony Fargnoli and Joey Gaskin are taught the importance of working to- gether. Wendy Ulmer and Chad Brightwell improve their typing skills while learning to program computers. Who said the high school couldn't have fun? The Spanish class celebrates the start of Christmas vacation. Hard work does pay off. Mr. Bennett awards Kip Hooker salutorian.

It Was Worth It! “I know that teacher hates me!’V “How could she give us all that homework!”, “We can't have three tests in one day!’7, “An F! How could I have made an F!” How impossible the school year seemed. All that work and time spent on studying for the “killer” test. Study this, write that, read this book, write that term paper; preparing for college and the future was a hard and drawn out task. But in between the home- work and school projects there was always a time for fun and a time to relax. Class parties and club ac- tivities helped the students enjoy the time spent at school and forget the frus- trations of work. Soon, time began to fly by. Before they knew it, it was an end to an- other school year. After all those days of begging for summer they actually felt a touch of saddness when cleaning out their lockers, ft was over; all the hard work and early mornings. It was more then just learning about books; it was learning about life arid ... It Was Worth It! A Year 1 Memories were not worth having unless there was someone to share them with special times spent with special people. It was hard to remember who became friends first. Just one warm smile paved the way to a new and lasting friendship. As the year progressed, so did the relationships be- tween classmates. They be- came more than just friends; they were family. Each shared his trust, fears, and inner most secrets with the other, forming a special bond of loyalty between the two. As the year came to a close, a sense of sadness could be felt in the halls. With summer ahead, friends would go their separate ways — graduating, moving to the beach, working sum- mer jobs. Although they would be apart, their won- derful memories would not be forgotten. Unfortunately, the school year ended, but the friendships made be- tween students and faculty never died. This could blc a start to a beautiful relationship. Vivion Hiott and Wil- liam Cromer share crayons while coloring their pictures. Don't they make a cute couple?

It was a time of being young, full of energy and life, a time of learning new things and looking ahead to a brighter future. As minds grew, so did personalities. No two years were ever the same. With each school season there came new faces carrying new ideas and many new changes. The school was more than academics; it was full of athlet- ics and activities. There was something for everyone. Clubs, parties, proms, carnivals, games, and tournaments; the list stretched for miles. Each student was needed to fill a posi- tion. Participating in these activities gave the student a sense of importance and responsibility. They did not work on an individual basis but they worked as a group, a family. Looking back through the season, students shared special memories of School. Whether it was their first kiss on prom night or that winning touchdown they made at the Home- coming game, the memories were there; the memories of the best years of their lives. The kindergarteners aren’t the only ones who dress up For Hallow- een. The Seniors display their original costumes to the lower school. Is it really Mini Mouse! Unfortunately, no. On Halloween all the kinder- garteners dress in their favorite costumes. Who could forget the excitement of the pep rallies? Not these children! 8 Opening These football players seem to think they can build better pyra- mids then the cheerleaders. What a joke! The Senior boys show their outra- geous style in clothes. Thank good- ness they can only do this during . spirit week, Don't the Junior boys’ personalities just jump out of this picture? Opening 9 Worth Div.

Their exceptional achieve- ments in both academics and extra curricular activities made them stand out among the stu- dents at John C. They were recog- nized by both the school and pub- lic of Walterboro for their excelling abilities. Whether they were in or out of school, they al- ways did more than what was asked of them. Congratulations to these outstanding students. These young people are chosen for the Duke Talent Search. Everette Bootle wins many awards for rid- ing in horse shows and barrel racing. Kevin Beach represents John C. in the Hugh O’Brian Essay Contest for the tenth grade. Special People One important program that start- ed this year was the student exchange program. Students experienced and learned different systems of teach- ings from other schools. Cindy Smith visited Cal- houn Academy. Al- lyson Haynes and Chad Brightwell spent a day at Lord Berkeley. Cindy Smith, Allyson Haynes, and Chad Brightwell eagerly vol- unteered to visit the dif- ferent schools. Making a thouand on the PSAT SAT real accomplishment for these seniors, niors, and sophomores.

Madison Farrell, Robbie Ho and Scott Moody represent J C. at Boy’s State Special People LEADERSHIP This year’s Student Council was hard’at work planning fund raisers, cleaning the school grounds, and or- ganizing helpful programs. They dis- tributed food to the needy by hand- ing out Thanksgiving baskets. They also took up food the the SPCA. The S.C.I.S.A. Association spon- sored a student exchanged program in which John C. eagerly participat- ed. The students from Lord Berkeley and Calhoun Academy that visited our school received a very warm welcome. The officers for this year were: Thomas Rowe, President; Wendy Litchfield, Vice President; Todd Fennell, Sec. Treas.; and Mrs. Wim- berly, sponsor. Mrs. Wimberly and the Student Council dis- cuss the activities for next month, Mrs. Wimberly and Thomas Rowe brainstorm ideas to increase student involvement. Officers, Wendy Litchfield, Todd Fennell, and Thomas Rowe devote their extra time in school to make this the best year ever. Student Council LEADING THE WAY The students that work hard throughout the year were reward- ed for their academic achieve- ments by becoming a member of the National Honor Society. It consisted of both Juniors and Se- niors who maintained a grade point average of 90 or above. This year the N.H.S. helped host a Regional Spelling Bee. Children in grades four through eight participated. They also helped with the Academic Bowl and once a week they volunteered their services to the library. These students represented John C. in both academics and school spirit. After all candles were lit, the new mem- bers recite the pladge and promise loyalty to the school. Melody McGinnis, Jo Lynn Bennett, and Robbie Hogan help in the canteen during the spelling bee. Proud parents gather in the library for a small celebration after the induction of the new members National Honor Society 15 THE WINNING EDGE In the spring of ’86, John C. Calhoun Academy hosted their third annual Academic Bowl sponsored by the P.T.O. Twenty schools participated. Each teach- er from the different schools were asked to submit twenty-five ques- tions. These questions covered such subjects as English, math, Science, history, and current events. One student from each grade was selected to compete in the bowl. Being able to partici- pant was a special privilege and honor. The representatives from John C. were Matthew Addison, Madison Farrell, Bud Williams, Kevin Beach, and Melody Pearce. As well as an Academic Bowl, John C. also had an excellent Ac- ademic Team. During September, they participated in the Winthrop Challenge. They competed against two schools, defeating one, but disappointingly losing to the other. Under the guidance of Mrs. Betty Linder and Mrs. Mimi Werntz, these students had a very successful year. The Academic Team consisted of four seniors, Madison Farrell, Gene Simmons, Robbie Hogan, and Brian Strick- land. Isn't this an outstanding picture! John C.

IS Talon Staff MAKING ME “The people behind the scenes” best described the dedicated members of the Talon staff. With little credit or thanks, these students helped make the memories and happy times at John C. Calhoun Academy come alive in one small but treasured book. Before school opened, the staff members were hard at work selling ads and planning the start of a busy year. In July, the editors and a few members attended a yearbook workshop, sponsored by Josten’s, at Converse College. Unfortunately, yearbook advisor, Mrs. Hawes, could not join her staff due to the expected birth of her first bouncing boy, Tyler Hawes. Luckily, Miss Laura Spears volunteered to chaperone the girls on their four day trip. The nights of frustration, panic, exhaustion, and, of course, nightmares could never been seen by the outstanding outcome of the 1987 Talon. But each editor and photographer knew of the hard work and time that went into the yearbook. Although discouraged by their time limits, the photographers and the staff members kept on processing pictures, writing copy, and drawing layouts until the last deadline was completed. The yearbook editors included Melody McGinnis -— Editor- in-Chief, Debbie Powers — Sports, Allyson Haynes — Class- es, Kim Carter — Academics, Wendy Litchfield — Activities, and Emily Warren — Ads. Photographers were Amy Goehr- ing, Jamie Gahagan, Holly Roberts, and Renee Dennis. Busi- ness manager, Allison Nettles was stuck with the paper work. More Pictures! Unfortunately, there’s not enough pages for all of them. Mrs. Hawes and Melody McGinnis decide which ones to use. “How much does it cost?” — Allison Net- tles’ famous words. Allison and Mrs. Hawes try to work out the budget. V PICTURE TAKING PEOPLE Being a photographer for the Talon took a lot of time and pa- tience. With deadlines to meet, they needed much dedication to keep all of the pictures straight. The photographers processed and printed All of their film and pictures. The pictures had to be ready for the editors very soon af- ter they were made. Holly Roberts develops pictures needed for the editors of the yearbook. Amy Goehring served as head photographer for the second year in a row. She gave up many after- noons and shed many tears over Amy and Holly discuss which pictures turned out the best. this major responsibility. When asked, Mrs. Hawes said that, “without Amy things wouldn’t have run as smoothly. I owe her a great big THANKS.” If it weren’t for the photogra- phers, there would be no pictures, therefore, no yearbook. Talon Staff Amy Goehring hangs the pictures up after just processing them. Jamie Gahagan washes all the necessary co tainers for developing the film. THE PEN PROVES MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD Mrs. Goehring looks for typing mistakes in the diction of the Santa Letters. Computer wiz, Madison Farrell, takes a break from typesetting all of the copy for the newspaper. For members of the Warhawk staff, the pen did prove mightier that the sword, and also a whole lot easier to write with. This group of talented students worked con- stantly to churn out an interest- ing, yet informative newspaper. The reporters kept their eyes and ears open all year, sniffing out news that everyone wanted to hear. For example, did you know, “2nd grade, Thank you for mak- ing this a good year. Happy Val- entine’s Day. I love you all! Mrs. Bolt.” This is just one of the many messages purchased for a dollar that were printed in the well- known and enjoyable Valentine’s Day issue. Class news included projects, special field trips and birthdays. Each issue also had a President’s Corner, where Student Body President, Thomas Rowe, relayed his message to the students, facul- ty, and parents. Mrs. Goehring discusses the upcoming pa- per with some editors to make sure all the copy is correct. X. All of the staff gather to have their picture taken. Mrs. Goehring and Ashley Hudson give their final approval for the first paper. Editors smile with their approval! The first Warhawk is a success! War Hawk Staff The photographers check the proofs to see if they are ones the editor wanted. These special people are the editors of this years War Hawk. The 1986-87 War Hawk staff was composed of over forty mem- bers. They were under the great guidance of Mrs. Betty Goehring. The staff was comprised of mostly the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Helping out the staff and editors were two photog- raphers and one typesetting coor- dinator. A lot of hard work went into the preparation of each issue of the War Hawk The staff was constantly gathering information for the two editions published. Each issue of the War Hawk in- cluded class news, student spot- light, J.C.C.A. ABC’s, and a gen- eral recap of the major events on the campus of John C. Calhoun Academy. The first edition con- tained the Seniors letters to San- ta. The second closed the year with the Senior’s last Will and Testament. The following were the editors for each staff Features — Karen Nettles, Editor; Robin Jones, Sr. Ass’t Editor; Amy Goehring, Jr. Ass’t. Editor. News Staff — Rob- bie Hogan, Editor; Johnnie Neal, Sr., Ass’t. Editor; Allyson Haynes, Jr. Ass’t. Editor; Ashley Hudson, Alumni News Editor.

'«f Foreign Language 7HA8LA USTED ESPANOL? t “?Habla Usted Espanol?” was a question frequently asked in the conversation in Mrs. Sharon Folk's Foreign Language Club. With Mrs. Folk in charge, there was never a dull moment. They celebrat- ed each holiday and religious day by using Spanish customs. It seemed that every other week the halls were filled with the aroma of tacos and cheese. Pinatas hanging from the ceil- ing, showered candy to the members who broke them. Christmas gifts, placed in each other’s shoes, were exchanged before Christmas vacation. These were just a few activities the Foreign Language Club had during the year. The club officers were as fol- lows: Eric McGill, President; Will Bryan, Vice President; Emily Warren, Secretary; Toni Wilson, Treasurer. Mrs. Folk and club officers enjoy spending their extra time preparing outstanding parties for their fellow members. Caught ch! Brian Thomas attempts to take more than his share of candy. Foreign Language THE PRIDE OF '87 Will Bryan, Caroline Linder “Will you be my sponsor?” — the words every girl in high school were dying to hear. Unfortunately for them, there were only seven senior football players this year, so, there would be only seven lucky girls. Before the start of the Homecom- ing game, the seven proud football players escorted their lovely sponsors across the field. It was their last sea- son the high school football but their most memorable. On this special night, each senior was recognized for being team leaders, and each sponsor was honored to be their escorts. John Hamilton, Allyson Haynes Chris Hulsey, Monica Avant Henry Mills, Traci Warren Stephen Padgett, Kelly Ferguson THE SPIRIT OF '87 Most of the hard work was overlooked by the students. The Varsity Cheerleaders did an excellent job in planning and organizing. The buttons for Hush-Button Day,'the post- ers in the halls, the balloons at the ball game, and the great pep rally were all contributed by the cheerleaders. Allyson Haynes paints the costumes for the Juniors during Original Blue and White Day. The excitement and anxiety of spirit week was displayed by every student. Being able to dress up in costumes and shorts was what made the week so fun. It wasn’t like the same boring routine of each week; it was different, the week consisted of Hush-Button Day, the girls weren’t allowed to talk to the boys; Tourist Day ev- eryone came dressed in crazy out- fits of shorts and T-shirts; Mafia day, the cheerleaders dressed in trench coats, along with others, taking on the new profession as hitmen; and last but not least was Original Blue and White Day. All the students participated. Who are these ridiculous characters? George Long and Eric McGill truly enjoy dressing in costumes. In disguise, Rodney Murdaugh is a gang- ster for the day. Look out, he may have a gun! Spirit Week 27 i w Mrs. Smoak, Junior Class sponsor, gives instructions to the juniors on how to decorate for the homecoming dance. And here she, ladies and gentlemen. The 1986 Homecoming Queen, Miss Melody McGinnis. 28 Homecoming Melody McGinnis receives a hug from former queen Kristi Connelly as her father waits for his hug. Melody McGinnis, Traci Warren, and Joy Bunion are the contestants for the ’86 Homecoming Queen. The students will have a hard time deciding on one. HOMECOMING 86 It was the last but most important day of spirit week. Every- one; faculty, students, parents, and alumni, awaited the very special night of Homecoming ’86. At 7:00, an hour before the game, the stands were already filled with loyal fans ready to support their winning team to a victory against Country Day. The senior football players and their sponsors made their traditional walk across the football field as they were introduced to family, friends, and visitors. The moment had come. The moment to find out who was to be the Homecoming Queen of 1986. Joy Bunton, Melody McGinnis, and Traci Warren, the candidates for the Senior Class, climbed nervously into the convertible for their long ride around the football field. Each candidate was escorted by her father to the center of the field. There, reigning queen Kristi Connelly crowned Melody McGinnis as the new queen. After the Warhawks defeated Country Day, 19-41, the Ju- nior Class sponsored a Homecoming dance to celebrate their victory. Music was provided by the juniors’ own Matt Hiott and refreshments, prepared by the Juniors, were served to all who came. The night was finally over, but the memories lasted forever. After escorting the football players on to the field, the sponsors await- ed halftime of the game. Then they participated in the crowing of the new Homecoming Queen. Chosen by the senior football players, these sponsors played an im- portant role in Home- coming ’86. Renee Dennis awaits the time to go out on the field and sup- port our old and new Home- coming queens. Miss Kristi Connelly returns to give up her crown. Kristi was escorted by Mr. Charles Griffith, a member of the Board. Homecoming 29 WHO WON?!!! This was the phrase used most by everyone. From one end of the school to the other. The words could be heard. Girl against Girl . . . Guy against Guy . . . Class against Class . . . The 1986 Field Day was kicked off by a parade of the classes. Each class carried a banner they had made. Field Day proved to be fun for everyone. Students participated in races and played softball and vol- leyball. Ribbons were given in all events. The judges and umpires were the teachers. ALL CALLS WERE FINAL!!! Kelly Ferguson is ready for the pitch. Will it be a ball or a strike? Grades K-12 make signs for a parade that kicks off Field Day ’86. On your marks ... Get set ... Go .. These words could be heard throughout the school. WHO WON? iiilp Field Day JK-SK ■86 Aftere the great dance that the Juniors had done for the Seniors, they had to get up at the crack of dawn to clean up the gym. After the gym was clean all of the Juniors and the Seniors had to sign a sheet so they would not have to come back to school on Monday. While back at school the Sophomores were the Senior role models for that Monday. Everyone returned on Tuesday for school. This is the dance that the Seniors will not ever forget. PARTY ALL THE TIME! Best friends take a timeout to smile for the camera. Every one keeps the beat of the music. This is the dance for the guys. This dance is where the guys get to show the girls how it’s done. Jr-Sr Prom 31 Everyone watches usher, Eric McGill, get down to the beat of the music. PLEASE MOM, NO MOPE PICTURES It was a special night ... It was Friday ... It was prom night! What lasted only one brief moment in time required a whole year of preparation. When school started last Septem- ber, so did the money-raising. The Juniors sold everything from doughnuts to magazines to make Jr.-Sr. happen. This covered the cost of the band and decorations. The theme, “A Night in Paradise,” was well matched by the decorations. Bamboo walls, coconuts, pineapples, and palm trees showed the appearance of a beautiful tropical island. The Toyz, the band chosen by the Juniors, filled the gym with beach music. The drop-in was held at Scott Moody’s house where drinks and refreshments were served. Each couple had their picture made by Bill Bone. Remembering this night, one year ago, the Senior Class realized how much preparation it took for the Juniors to make the Jr.-Sr. Prom a very special night for the Class of 1986. Each rising Senior respects all the hard work time the Junior spend on planning a night to remember for all students that go. It may take only two weeks to put a prom together, but it takes months to decide on a theme and decorations. Much deserved credit went to Mrs. Smoak, the Junior Class sponsor, for all her patience in the class. When the six sopho- more ushers were asked the question, “What was special about being an usher at the prom this year?” they had many in- teresting replies. “Seeing all the ’Purty’ girls in their ’Purty’ new dresses”, “Getting to go one year earlier and wearing those funny hats!”, “The beginning of the end”, “Getting to go to the prom without hav- ing to decorate was great!”, “Looking for- ward to going to the beach after a short but good night’s sleep.” Matt Hiott and Heather Gahagan dance the night away. This was spe- cial, for Matt finally got to dance with his date. 32 nr Jr.-Sr. Prom Jr.-Sr. Prom The Toyz was chosen by the Juniors to play for the prom. Everyone loved them and the music. The ushcre anxiously await their first prom. This dance is for the girls only, while their dates rest their tired feet. This is no doubt the dance where you “bop till you drop.” MM TALON Traci Warren, daughter of Paul and Nita Warren, was chosen by the high school as Miss Talon. In school, she stays involved in the National Honor Society and is business man- ager of the newspaper staff. In her spare time, Traci likes to spend time with her family. She en- joys going out with her close friends and sharing fun times with them. If she had to choose her favorite actor, it would be a toss-up between Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis. Traci plans to attend the College of Charleston after finishing high school, and major in psychiatric nursing. She considers her most unique feature to be her “ability to start fights without trying.” 34 My Beauties Beauties Becky Bennett, daughter of Jackie Bennett, was cho- sen Miss Junior. A member of the War Hawk staff, Becky stays busy working at Moylan’s and going out with boys and her friends. When asked what she did in her spare time, Becky said she enjoys “watching McDonald’s commercials (Robbie, Robbie).” Her favorite celebrities are Bruce Willis and, of course, the Hamburglar. Becky plans to attend college, but is undecided about her major. Her most unique feature is her bubbly person- ality. Joy Bunton, daughter of James and Grace Bunton, had the honor of being voted Miss Senior by her class- mates. Involved in school activities, Joy is a member of the War Hawk staff. After 2:25, she enjoys shopping and spending money. In her spare time, Joy can be found going out with Steve, or watching movies that star Whoopi Goldberg or Rob Lowe. After graduating, Joy plans to attend Columbia Col- lege and major in accounting. [In fifteen years], “1 would like to have a suc- cessful business in ac- counting. ” MI6 JUNIOR ‘7 would like to be a suc- cessful rich businesswom- an and an unmarried ho- mewrecker!” MIAS SENIOR 35 Daughter of Micky and Linda Strickland, Kim Strick- land had the honor of being chosen Miss Ninth Grade.

Page 39 Robert Bennett — Head- master, 9th grade Physical Science Mr. Bennett, headmaster of John C. Calhoun, says that his favorite quote is, “Yours is not to question why, yours is but to do or die!” This is what he tells his class when they ask, “Why?” A Look Into Academics From Basic To Advanced Learning to program a computer is helpful in step-by-step progressive thinking. Both Mr. Mc- Arthur and Mr. Maddox required their students to write their own programs. The students also created games which made learning more enjoy- able. Mr. Maddox said he feels that without any question, the students will need the ability to incorporate computer science into their future lives. Mr. McArthur said, “Algebra helps you organize information and it develops analytical problem solving.” There are many everyday uses of algebra which many students fail to realize. Mrs. Goehring said, “My objective in psy- chology is to help students to understand them- selves better and to understand others better.” The seniors who took psychology studied the emphasis of physical influences on emotions and behavior. Another subject the seniors took was Ad- vanced Science. One of the things they did in this class was disected different animals and did a comparative anatomy. During a Thursday lab class, Wendy Litchfield and Toni Hooker learn how to perform a titration.

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade had a library class each week which was conducted by Mrs. Brightwell. Both Mrs. Hiers and Mrs. Brightwell introduced the students to quality literature while at the same time made it an enjoyable experience Mrs. Brightwell said, “Books are the windows through which the soul looks out.” The ability to seek information from books will help you throughout your life. Cindy Smith and Kelly Ferguson devoted their study hall to directing music classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each week. Besides singing, the classes learned about musical notes and scales. They also had a Christmas and Spring Program. The P.E. classes did exercises and learned about a variety of sports. Near the end of the year, the classes were given a fitness test and Field Day was held for grades K-12. These 3rd graders could be our future musicians. They always look forward to their music class on Monday.

When they finally arrived, the Juniors crowded around Mrs. Linder as she re- vealed to them a few of the many computerized functions that could be performed on the new typewriters. One of the functions that she showed them was erasing. Everyone was disap- pointed when she removed the eraser disc, but it was later returned. When asked how the new typewriters affected his feelings toward typing, Eric McGill replied, “It makes me feel more technologically ad- vanced and also believe that I am involved in the computerized revolution.” Mrs. Linder introduced the class to the key- board and also to the many different techniques such as horizontal and vertical centering. After they learned about the machines they were us- ing, the Juniors worked at their own pace to learn the keyboard. When this was accom- plished, they learned the proper way to type research papers, book reports, memorandums, etc. Chad Brightwell, Allen Gustin, and Toby Hinton practice horizontal and vertical centering. V 46 Academics Dedicated To The One We Love Always at their side, Mrs. Warren loads the children on the fire truck. It doesn’t really matter how long a person works at something, as long as they do their best, their accom- plishments will be recognized. Mrs. Sylvia Warren has been teaching at John. C. for fourteen years, but she hasn’t gone unnoticed. Everyday she has shown her love, loyalty, and un- derstanding to students and faculty. Her warm friendly smile has made lasting impressions in our hearts. How she would comfort us when our parents left us crying on the first day of school, how she would threat- en to wash our mouths out with soap when we were bad, how she would button up our coats when the weath- er was cold: these are just a few spe- cial memories we share. Mrs. Warren taught us more than just the alphabet and numbers, she taught us how to love and be kind to others. When asked why she enjoyed teaching kindergarten, she replied, “Watching them grow from “ba- bies” into more independent boys and girls is rewarding.” This year we reward Mrs. Sylvia Warren by dedi- cating to her the 1987 Talon. It’s hard to believe students now taking chem- istry and algebra had trouble with the alpha- bet. What would we do without Mrs. Warren?

CLASS OF ’87 Monica Dene Avent Joy Anita Bunton Jo Lynn Bennett Melanie Renee Crosby Madison Elliott Farrell, III V Together Through It All The Class of '87 has been through a lot together. They have seen new faces join them, and oth- ers wave goodbye. They have had their ups and downs, their “killer” tests and impossible teachers, great victories and heart-breaking losses on the field on Friday nights, but they have always had each other. Whether they needed advice, help with homework, or a sympathetic hug, these seniors could always find a classmate to support them. This sense of helping one an- other and caring about each other was what made their seniors more than twenty-six individuals. To- gether they were one unit: the Class of ’87. Stick ’em up! Gene Simmons, Brian Strickland, and Henry Mills appear to be staging a hold-up at the gift shop. Pausing for a group shot at Charlestowne Landing, these seniors show what great friends they have all become. Seniors 51 A Year Worth Looking Back On Being a senior means an end to a very big part of my life. It means relief and sorrow — losing touch with friends, yet finding new ones ' — Brian Strickland Michelle Hughes and Sean Knight recall the childhood pleasure of playing on the see-saw during recess. At Charlestowne Landing, these seniors imag- ine themselves as colonials on the voyage to America. A Future Seniors Marc Warren and Thomas Rowe are eager to set up housekeeping in their cottage in the woods. Learning about Charleston’s history proved to be much more fun than classes ... but what isn’t? In addition to the work required of a senior, Mad- ison Farrell, Marc Warren, Melody McGinnis, and Scott Moody take on the responsibility of being class officers for 1986-87. Worth Looking Forward To When they first walked down the hall as freshmen, the students of the Class of ’87 had no idea that four years at high school would go by so quickly, nor did they realize how much fun they would experience as students at JCCA. As seniors at last, the Class of ’87 began to look back upon the last few years of their lives to realize with a sense of sadness that they soon would have to say goodbye to high school football games, bas- ketball games, pep rallies, and dances. They knew that it was time to accomplish the goals that were set so long ago. As the end of the year ap- proached, many students began won- dering what the following year would bring. Feelings of excitement, antici- pation, pride, and sadness filled their minds. There was no going back now; high school was almost over and the future lay ahead. Gradua- tion would mark the end of high school years and the beginning of life as an adult; dreams and goals would be fulfilled. After graduation, se- niors go their separate ways, but ex- periencing JCCA would enable them to get the most out of life. Seniors 53 Faces Going Places An enjoyable part of these seniors’ day off to go to Charleston was their sight-seeing tour aboard the tram.

The styles changed with the rest of the world, and so did we. Some of our needs became different and our became are more in focus. We have lived a little and learned a lot through our classes, our experiences, and each other. But inside we remained the same curious children we were then, full of a thirst for knowledge and dreams for the future. Our added years of high school have left us more mature and responsible, without taking away our youth. Remembering times past — that momentous first day of school, orientation every year and seeing how your friends have changed, football seasons, crazy pep rallies, and memorable Jr-Sr dances with an even more unforge- table weekend at the beach. Some memories are “so close and yet so far” — almost tangible they’re so real, but never to be captured again unless in the fleeting second you smell fire and once again are raising spirit at a bonfire, or any other sense that reminds you of times gone by. These memories, these friends may be left be- hind that Graduation Day, but instead of being gone, they are treasured forever as memories to last an eternity — the greatest years of our lives.

Johnnie Neal and Robin Jones use their activ- ity period to catch up on the latest gossip. Robbie Hogan objects to the idea of being someone’s next meal, but Gene Simmons likes the idea. Beau Turner and Monica Avant settle a quarrel by wrestling it out in the fountain pool. These seniors are fascinated with the historical monuments at Charlestowne Landing. Most Athletic Most Dependable Miss DAR Most Versatile Most Congenial Wittiest Senior Superlatives Most School Spirit CLASS OF ’87 Mr. And Mrs. Warhawk Robbie Hogan and Melody McGinnis were awarded the honor of being chosen the most distinguished senior su- perlative. Each year the faculty vote on which two se- niors of the class represent the school values and charac- teristics. Responsibility, dependibility, and student involvement were a few of the characteristics the faculty considered. As for Melody’s involvement in school, she was editor-in-chief of the Talon for two years, a cheer- leader for four years, and a member of the War Hawk staff, NHS, JETS, and French club. Robbie was a mem- ber of the Academic Team, Winthrop Challenge Team, War Hawk staff, NHS, Student Council, and French club. Both of these students well deserved the honor of being Mr. and Mrs. War Hawk. Most School Spirited Brian Strickland and Debbie Powers certainly por- trayed the most school spirit. When not participating in baseball, basketball, and football, Brian encouraged his teammates to victory. Debbie was also involved in sports such as basketball and softball. In her spare time she cheered for her winning team as a Varsity cheerleader. Most Versatile Scott Moody and Melody McGinnis were chosen by the senior class for this superlative due to their outstanding ability to excel in sports, academics, and activities. Each was able to handle the responsibility of school organiza- tions and still maintain a high grade point average. Most Dependable If there was a job to be done or a deadline to be met, Robbie Hogan and Johnnie Neal would be the ones to choose. Being extremely responsible students, they could always be depended on in stressing times. They proved to be natural leaders in the classroom as well as in organizations. Wittiest Gene Simmons and Michelle Hughes were elected as wittiest. When in time of stress and depression these two students could always bring a smile to someone’s face. If not by their outrageous sense of humor, they used their crazy spontaneous actions to bring laughter to the school. Miss DAR The Daughters of the American Revolution awarded Johnnie Neal the honor of being Miss DAR. She re- ceived the award for her concern for people, friendly character, and loyality as a citizen. Most Congenial Scott Moody and Karen Nettles were chosen by seniors as most congenial. Their bubbling personality touched the hearts of everyone in the class. Whenever a student needed someone to turn to, Scott and Karen were there to help. Their cheerful smiles and friendly actions dis- played the concern they felt for others. Most Athletic Brian Stricklend and Debhie Powers were chosen this superlative on the basis of their ability and willingness to participate in many athletic sports at school. Debbie played softball, basketball and powderpuff. She was also a varsity cheerleader. Brian played football, basketball, and baseball all four years of high school.

They spent many hours thinking about what they were going to do with their lives. The questions “What do I want to be when I grow up?” and “Where am I going to school after gradua- tion?” plagued the minds of these almost-seniors. In their classes and their personal lives, they developed decision-making abilities to answer their many questions. Having their licenses, the juniors experienced more freedom than they had had in the past. The added responsibility strengthened the maturity of these students, preparing them for their se- nior year — their time to “rule the school”. Class rings, letter jackets, taking the PSAT’s and SAT’s, playing var- sity sports, attending the prom, and being a member of the very elite group — “the Upperclassmen” — all contributed to a very busy year. The Class of ’88 found that being a junior had many advantages that un- derclassmen can’t enjoy. However, life as a junior wasn’t all fun and games. With college lying ahead, many of these students began to take studying more seriously, hoping to have better chances with their favor- ite colleges. It didn’t seem as if it had been that long ago when they were freshmen; now they were almost se- niors. The old cliche about “How time flies when you’re having fun” could have been written with the ju- niors in mind. Who ever said the juniors weren’t TOUGH? Stephen Padgett, Chad Brightwell, and Will Bryan show us what “real men” we have in the Class of ’88.

They were not yet distinguished upper- classmen and they no longer shared in the spotlight of atten- tion that the freshmen enjoyed. The sophomores were just “there”. They were only extra faces in the halls, more voices at pep rallies. Although they faded into the background of halls, lock- ers, and classes, sophomores made their mark on John C. It was a difficult year, but they had better things ahead to think about. The newness and initial excite- ment of high school had long worn off and these students used their experience from a year of the “freshmen struggles” to get their lives organized. The Class of 1989 learned to budget their time, becoming more active members in clubs and organizations. Even with their increased extra-curric- ular activities, the sophomores still achieved high grades, per- haps even with a little less study time. A sophomore’s work is never done! This is true especially for the class officers: Kevin Beach, J.J. Evans, Christy Steele, and Emily Warren. These library aids deserve a hand! Amy Gentry, Lisa Rodgers, and Toni Wilson give up their spare time to staple pro- grams. Study hall is so exciting! Todd Fennell tries to contain his amazement while Ke- vin Beach gives some juicy gossip. 10th Grade Grayson Altman Eric Bennett Jamie Bryan Whit Carter Kevin Crosby Jamie Cummings Jay DeLoach Matt Free Heather Gahagan Beth Gaskin Allan Goehring Keri Holmes Terri Hudson Bubba Jones Heath Jones Freshmen and friends — they just seem to go together!

This year they got their first taste of new and more dif- ficult subjects including chem- istry, physics, geometry, and foreign language. Many stu- dents enjoyed being involved with school activities, such as sports, cheerleading, student council, Spanish club, and the annual staff. The freshmen ac- cepted the new demands on their time, and even found themselves enjoying all the hard work and excitement. High school, with its many drawbacks, was found to be worth the extra time and ef- fort. Smile — you’re on ‘Candid Camera5! Cam Werntz is taken by surprise as his classmates look on.

The students also enjoyed working with computers, and were able to vent some energy every day during P.E. Like most active thirteen year olds, these students loved play- ing sports. Many were involved in football, basketball, baseball, and cheerleading. What were their favor- ite activities outside of school? Shop- ping, watching TV, and eating pizza were popular favorites. Drew Brightwell, Edward Oswald, and Young McWhirter clown around during a free mo- ment in Mrs. Griffith’s class. The seventh grade was definite- ly a year of moving up for these students. Everything seemed to be just a little tougher — the teach- ers, the courses, the homework, and the sports. Many students started playing J.V. sports for the first time — football, basketball, and cheerleading. Others enjoyed the limelight from being the old- est on the B-team league. For the first time, these stu- dents experienced the conflict ev- eryone eventually feels when try- ing to budget his time to fit everything in. Friendships and re- lationships were still hard to get used to when you’re twelve, and these students were no exception. The year proved very busy, very full, and very fun for the future Class of ’93. This work’s a piece of cake! These students aren’t phased a bit by the increase in homework they find in the seventh grade. The gang’s all here! These seventh graders enjoy hamming it up for the camera.

So what did these sixth graders do this year? Todd Meegan liked to “pass notes and talk”, while Felicia Fargnoli preferred lunch. All stu- dents enjoyed P.E. — soccer be- ing Randee Ritter’s favorite sport. Mold, diseases, and cells were science class topics of conversa- tion. Spanish parties were very popular, especially because of the pinata. As they struggled with fractions and world history, the sixth graders looked forwrd to their ski trip to Wolf Laurel. These wild sixth graders love to clown around — and they think Mrs. Speaks is “just one of the gang”. Daniel DuPre and Wade Marvin think En- glish and literature are worth smiling about. What’s one of the best things about school? FRIENDS, of course! £t'r 81 The smaller the class, the big- ger the heart! This phrase perfect- ly described the fifth grade, who had only 16 students. Did the small size seem to bother them? “No, it makes us closer,” said one fifth grader when asked this ques- tion, When the students weren’t busy with homework, they were planning their Christmas project. Instead of drawing names and giving gifts, they gave food to the SPCA. This goes to prove just what a big heart a small class can have! Will Christmas holidays ever get here?

These fourth graders found plenty of ways, with the help of their teacher, Miss Spears. Projects such as building volcanoes and colonies helped keep learning fun as well as edu- cational. Among other interesting pro- jects the fourth graders tried were making their own commercials and making an authenic country store. To contribute to their stud- ies of health and science, they had a nutrition course taught by Miss Spears’ sister. Every Wednesday, they had fun dressing up. Smarter than average nine-year olds, they did fifth grade level social studies. As Miss Spears expressed it, “Be- cause they are as bright as they are, we have done many projects that other fourth grade classes couldn’t do.” And they loved ev- ery minute of it! There’s something mischievous behind these innocent smiles! Don- ald Orsini and Marisa Dopson are plotting new ways to beat the boredom of school. 4th Grade W 85 The third grade was enthusias- tic about everything in school. They loved their new reading books and doing “rock projects” for science. Their favorite subject was South Carolina history — a unanimous favorite because it was “fun.” School wasn’t all studying, though. These third graders got a real “kick” out of playing soccer in P.E. Relay races were another way they got rid of excess energy. Another favorite part of the day was music class. Kaci Nelson’s es- pecially liked the song, “Hole in the Ground.” What did these third graders like most about school? Recess and pep rallies! Industrious as ever, these third graders get to work on their assignments for South Carolina history. Every penny counts — when it comes to lunch money!

Social studies and math were other fa- vorites of the second grade stu- dents. The highlight of the year was a field trip to see “The Leg- end of Sleepy Hollow.” Seeing this show right before Halloween was a scary experience, as well as fun. These second graders were in- dustrious too, making a social studies mural to illustrate the things they had learned about communities and neighborhoods. For Christmas, the students made decorations for their Christmas tree, like bells and stars. After all this activity, many second graders still found time for Cub Scouts and Brownies. As Angel Johnson expressed it, “What I like most about school? Going home!” 2nd Grade V Ip FRIENDS — Just one of the special things about the second grade.

Mrs. Richardson’s first grade class — what a challenge — what a job! These 26 rambunctious (with some exceptions) six year olds started the year with a bang and made a name for themselves early in the year. Excessive talk- ing, karate, and playground antics kept Mrs. Richardson hopping in September; but then, with second semester approaching, there was a change in the air. These little peo- ple were all behaving (most of the time) and a whole new world had opened for them — the world of books. They were reading like champs and spelling words that would make a 5th grader shudder. They loved P.E., music, PIZ- ZA, and of course, recess! At the beginning of the year, they at- tended a play in Charleston and made Mrs. Richardson proud by behaving like angels. Staying in school until 2:15 was a real adjustment for these 1st graders, such a big step up from kindergarten. Even minor changes in routine could be major obstacles for 6 year olds but learning to change was part of growing up and that, with their teacher’s guidance, was what these students seemed to be doing so well. These rambunctious first graders think Tony Fargnoli, Kelly Smith, and Michael that all work and no play make life dull. Wood don’t like being interrupted from their work! There’s always something going on in the first grade classroom, whether it’s spelling or making decorations.

Kindergarten, for some children, was the first taste of the world. Until then, their lives had revolved around their homes, parents, brothers or sis- ters, and their own wants and needs. Kindergarten introduced these children to the concepts of sharing and thinking for them- selves. Games and educational toys helped to teach the young stu- dents basic recognizing skills. They focused on one color each week until they had mastered a whole palette. The alphabet and shapes of squares and circles were also studied by the eager young minds. Kindergarten, so many things in so many important ways, taught these students more than just tangible information to start off their education. This year served to open their minds and show them the wonder of discov- ering the world. Ashley Gordon and Amy Nettles have fun while they learn their alphabet with Al- phabet Bingo. 4i 2 These kindergarteners have learned the basis of making friends and sharing with them.

Caps were thrown into the air and memories flooded their eyes as the new graduates exchanged hugs with friends and family. These students’ years at the Acad- emy had changed as well. As always, graduation held the excitement and expectations of another class of young people who had “grown up already.” This was a night to remem- ber all those precious times, special friends, and years of trials and tri- umphs. Whether their thoughts were of sentimental memories or the party later that night, each student knew that soon all these things, so impor- tant at the time, would fade into memory. There comes a time for moving on and unfortuantely, high school can’t last forever. The best of luck to all of the Class of ’86, and may they re- main as happy as they were the night of Friday, May 30, when they left their childhood behind. As the Benediction is performed, the graduat- ing class gives thanks for surviving high school. As they say farewell to their friends, Caroline Werntz and her fellow graduates exchange congratultions and promises to keep in touch. Henry Hiott and Lisa Hudson express their feelings of joy and sadness. But Not Goodbye Hard work does pay off! Valedictorian Cindy Kinard and Salutatorian Kip Hooker wait anxiously for the ceremonies to begin. Kingergarten graduation — what an important time! Young minds, fresh faces, just ready to conquer the world. After a year of addition and the alphabet, these students were ready to move on to bigger and bet- ter things — like reading! The shy five year olds had turned into more responsible young people. They had learned about sharing and making friends, respecting and listening to authority — lessons all of us can learn from. As the kindergarten teacher breathed a sigh of relief, thirty-six young hopefuls were unleashed — ready for the world! Kelly Smith and Kimberly Gilmore manage to remain calm during the frenzied prepara- tions for the big night. Look out world — this is the Class of ’98! Lining up for their family and friends, these promising-looking students will do great things in their time. ■v Kindergarten Graduation 95 ■ r 0iv 1 SPRING SPORTS Chad Brightwell spends ex tra time after practice to im- prove his tennis skills. lifesSM WINTER SPORTS With great determination, Kim Carter breaks through the Rebel defense for a re- bound.

Varsity Baseball V 107 Starting Out Young The Boys’ and Girls’ B-teams, coached by Doc Lewis and Carol Meegan, definitely started out young. The teams consisted of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. They not only gained knowledge about the rules and plays of bas- ketball, but they also gained the experience needed of play on the Junior Varsity level. Landis Williams uses her height to out-jump a defen- sive player and put up a shot. Ree Deloach waits to pass off as Jennifer Jones moves to the open area to receive the pass. Asher Howell goes up high to grab the rebound and put it back in the basket. t An excellent shooter, Ed- ward Oswald puts up an outside shot with perfect form.

Third year coach Carol Meegan led this talented group of play- ers to a successful season. work and long hours of practice. With only three players returning from last year’s team, the young Hawks had to rebuild. That they did! They added some height and speed to the line-up and this brought them many exciting victories throughout the season. Tara Ulmer, Susan Zeigler, and Hope McGrady provided the lady hawks with Led by first year coach Brett Maddox, the Junior Varsity boys were winners of many ex- citing games. J.V.

The Junior Varsity boys had their share of heart-breakers this year. All their hard work and dedication did pay off with sever- al exciting victories. Led by first year coach Brett Maddox, the young Hawks were exactly that, young. For most, this was their first year to play on the J.V. level. Many of them played on the B-team last year. Although the Hawks did not have the experience, they did have a great deal of heart and determi- nation. They were able to work together as a team and that always paid off. Kevin Beach goes for the basket to gain two more points over the Cavaliers. Winning Isn't Everything Hard work usually pays off, but the Lady Hawks had their share of bad luck this season. Led by Coach Carol Meegan, the Hawks saw their vic- tories come few and far between. That did not stop them, though. They pulled together as a team both on and off the court. They could have been de- scribed as “one big happy family”. Seniors Debbie Powers and Jo Lynn Bennett pro- vided the much needed leadership on the court. The underclassmen, who proved to have great ath- letic ability and were able to play with the stimina it takes, will fill the vacan- cies that the two seniors leave behind after gradu- ation. Juniors Wendy Litchfield and Wendy Ulmer provided the team with balanced scoring and rebounding through- out the season. The team will be in good shape for a winning season next year.

Each day, these boys could be found hard at work practicing to be- come a better team. Brett Maddox, in his first year of coaching at J.C.C.A., encouraged and supported them at practices as well as on the floor during games. Coa- ch Maddox demanded hard work on the floor as well as in the classroom. As a result, the team members respected his leadership. This paid off as the team captured many close games. One of these close games came against long- time rival Thomas Hey- ward. Tiger Martin put up a shot with five sec- onds left on the clock to give the Hawks a great come-from-behind vic- tory. Senior Brian Strickland drib- bles through the Lord Berkley defense and sets up the Hawks offense. Junior Donald Martin drives to the basket to put up another two points.

The new cheer- leders had to learn cheers, experience their first hectic week of camp and, along with the other five, had to cheer their team to victory. At camp, the squad improved so much. They were chosen to compete in the final day evalua- tion. Even though they didn’t win, they brought the “spirit stick” home for all their hard work. Practices kept the squad extremely busy throughout the year. They had to paint post- ers, plan pep rallies and help out the varsity cheerleaders by selling programs at home foot- ball games. Each one had to give 100% effort for the year to be successful, and they must have, be- cause it was a great suc- cess.

Practicing every day, attending summer camp, and giving up spare time led to many exciting games. Led by first year coach, Brett Maddox, the young Hawks gained the experience needed to play on the Varsity level. Quarter- back Cam Werntz and running back Matt Free added spark to the Hawks’ offense by either setting up or scoring many touchdowns. The 1986 team consisted of Cam Werntz, Asher Howell, Jamie Bryan, Whit Carter, Scott Meegan, Matt Free, Bubba Jones, Stacey Padgett, Eric Bennett, Ke- vin Litchfield, Michael Smithe, Clark Hiott, Ken- neth Greenwell, Grayson Altman, Eric Warren, Todd Meegan, Wesley Jones, Tim Godwin, Pat Padgett, and Lance Dennis.

This year’s squad had all of this plus more. For the third straight year, the squad returned home from camp in the summer with camp championship. Unlike past years, they had to beat out several co-ed squads that were among the thirty public and pri- vate squads there. One of the co-ed squads was ad- visor Laura Spears’ high school alma matar. Although few people realize the fact, the varsi- ty cheerleaders spent many long hours practic- ing, painting posters, planning pep rallies, and raising school spirit. They gave up their spare time to cheer their team to victory whether rain or shine. With only one senior on the squad, nine of this year’s squad could be on the squad next year to carry on the winning tra- dition. Although it may look easy, this can only be accomplished through hard work, long hours, dedication, and most of all, lots of energy. With smiles in place, the cheer- leaders demonstrate their award winning form that brought them and the school a third straight camp champion- ship. Cheering isn’t all hard work. Allyson Haynes and Caroline Linder get to decorate Chris Rowe’s face with paint at the pep rally. When cheering, the squad must also keep track of the excite- ment of the game. 124 Varsity Cheerleaders What a pyramid! Let’s see the football players try and top that one!

Since they won the skit at the pep rally, the cheerlead- ers go ‘ Hawk Wild” paint- ing the football players’ faces. “Friends we are. Friends we’ll always be, Together we will cheer so faithfully. Cheerleaders we’ll always be ’till we meet again.” Facing the football team, the cheerleaders hope to encourage their team on to another big vic- tory. 126 Varisty Cheerleaders AN UP AND DOWN SEASON The varsity football team had a season filled with excitement and sor- row. They came close in many games, but they only won two. Coached by Tony Or- sini, the Hawks had a feeling of closeness, de- termination to win, and hours upon hours of long, hard practices. This group of young men wanted to make their parents, friends, and the school proud of them. They definitely succeed- ed. Led by the all-confer- ence play of seniors Marc Warren and Henry Mills, junior Eric McGill, and sophomore Todd Fennell, the Hawks brought home a victory for Homecom- ing. Not only was it a vic- tory but also it was against rival Country Day. The 1986 team consist- ed of seniors Brian Strickland, Marc War- ren, Chris Hulsey, John Hamilton, and Henry Mills. These five players will be missed next year. Eric McGill has to stretch high to take a pass out of his defender’s hands. Senior Brian Strickland and manager Kevin Beach take a moment to reflect on the last series of plays. Junior quarterback Donald “Tiger” Martin outruns ev- eryone and heads towards the endzone for a touch- down. Varsity Football 127 The Hawks gather at mid- field to encourage each oth- er and get the game under way. Senior Henry Mills is tack- led, but not after a large gain that came with help from his blockers. Under head coach Tony Or- sini and assistant coaches “Doc” Lewis and Brett Maddox, the Hawks provide excitement for both family and friends. Junior tight end Eric McGill reaches for a pass that has been deflected by one of Calhoun Acad- emy’s defensive player. Varsity Football Eyeing the endzone, first- year player Terry Jones, a junior, breaks several tack- les on his way down the field. Junior Michael Warren sets his sights on tackling Orangeburg Prep’s quarterback for a loss.

Excitement and joy could be seen on their faces. The warm spring breeze brought the sweet smell of green grass and flowers. It signaled the start of summer and the close of a great school year. “How could I forget the time I tripped in front of the whole class. I could have died!” “Do you remember when Scott spilled that coke down your back? Just thinking about the expression on your face still makes me laugh.” — It was a time to recollect the events that made the year special� the times of embarrassment and the times of joy. The days were counting down. Good-bye hugs were ex- changed in the halls. As the fi- nal bell rang, each student raced out the door. The year was over, but it was not forgot- ten. With the teacher gone, Wendy Hiott and Holly Roberts hang out the win- dow to talk to friends. These two boys get the playground all to Yeah, Recess! These energetic children need a themselves, no more waiting for the swings. break from school work. Closing One more year has past by. There was no more need to study, but there was a need to plan; plan the events that would take place in the near future. The pressures didn’t end with school. Graduated seniors faced the terrifying yet, exciting world of college. Sheets, towels, clothes and much more had to be bought before the end of summer. Pen- cils, lunch boxes, and composi- tions were needed for newcoming kindergarteners. Upcoming ju- niors had to plan out their fund raising activities. The new seniors prepared for their last and final year of high school. Athletes trained to keep in shape for sum- mer camp. Even teachers spent most of their summer at school getting ready for the new year. It was a time to look ahead and prepare for a stable future, for the future would soon become the present. Ashley Hudson examines the canteen food to see If it is eatable. Do you really think all these seniors know how to play golf? You’re right, they don’t. Actually, they just enjoy riding the golfcart. Come on, don’t be shy. Drew Bnghtwell refuses to have his picture made. Finding out the hard way, Amy Gentry agrees that the soup is HOT! After a tiresome class of algebra, Heath Jones takes a minute to re fax and think about the upcoming weekend. After riding the firetruck, David Orsini decides to devote his future to becoming a lean mean firefighting machine. Who eould forget the fun of growing up and the fun of playing on the playground. Closing 133 Bud Williams Elizabeth Biggers, and Matt Hiott show off their guilty smiles after being tardv for class. Closing Monta Petrine and Tracy Ulmer study for Mrs. Griffith’s “killer’' test. Who is Henry Mills calling now? From the looks of his smile, they must be important.
