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.

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.

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
