Behind the scenes, yearbook staff members receive lessons in sales- manship as well as friendliness. sports. : V Trends, along with a great summer and best friends, made the year special. The opening serves to showcase these special aspects of high I school, highlighting the highs and lows, the individual experi- ences. A 7; The library was a focal point for school activity, housing many groups of people who to- gether made academics a sue Lab periods such as these were a few of the challenges shared by classes together. v The WarHawk mascot, loved by young and old, is a symbol of the spirit so vital to the winning seasons of Summertime Summertime It’s In The Way That You Use It Summer — a time to relax, re- group, retrain habits, rely on sun, and remain in bed un- til well into the after- noon. Right? Wrong for some students who used their sum- mer to benefit more important aspects of their lives than the degree of their tans. Camps of all kinds were flooded with students working to improve their scho- lastic and athletic skills. Football, bas- ketball, and cheer- leading camps all helped unite groups of people as they learned to work more closely as a team. Girls’ State and Boys' State sessions were summer programs de- signed to improve the government-knowledge of worthy history stu- dents. Governor’s Schools also catered to unique individuals. Ashley Hud- son attended GS for the T missed my soap op- eras, but I did earn some money — Toni Willson Arts at Furman, and ex- perienced a rigid five weeks of intense dance study and training. It was harder than I imag- ined it would be, but all the work paid off be- cause of all the new things I learned.” Many students found a terrific way to combine summer’s fun with earning ex- tra money: they worked at the beach! It was a great way to learn responsibility — You have no one to stop from doing any- thing but you also know there’s a limit,” said George Long, who worked at Edisto. Of course, there were those laid-back individuals who used their summer as noth- ing more than a much- deserved and long- awaited holiday. After all, having fun and relaxing in the great (hot) outdoors are what summer is all about! It’s all in the way that you use it. Fun At School? Working parents whose chil- dren attend John C. had an alter- native to day care centers this summer. JCCA sponsored a sum- mer camp that turned ordinary day care into education and fun. Helping at the camp were Wen- dy and Tracy Ulmer, Coach Brett Maddox, and JoLynn Bennett. Children learned to use computers and experimented with arts and crafts. Rented movies and pop- corn simulated a summer theatre, and the playground was room to release spare energy. Wendy Ulmer found the camp “enjoy- ment, but also a job. I got to know the kids real well.” Summer () 3 Sign 0’ The Times Trends’ are these ideas that catch like fire in a quick flash, spreading across continents at break- neck speed, then dying qui- etly in closets of hand-me- downs. And nowhere do trends spread faster than in a small high school. They’re seen everywhere — in the way we dress, the way we talk, the way we study (or don’t study), in the way we live. Fashions, music, movies, food, all are changing constantly, only remaining as memories in sentimen- tal minds. These trends are remem- bered, though, and captured to add a unique touch to the year in re- view. Skateboarding was one of those trends that none really remembered starting. All of a sudden, they were everywhere — Ollie’s” and 360’s were chicspeak among any young boys gathered together. Skull and cross bones adorned stickers belo- vedly placed beside grip tape on boards of various sizes and color. Surfing was a throw-back from the summer whose fashions were hard to part with. So stickers went on cars and lockers; long shorts and high tops were the rage, and the Surfer haircut” was in demand. While the guys dressed down, the girls dressed up in clothes from such stores as The Limited” and Benneton”. Blue jean jackets and ankle-length skirts graced their fig- ures, and wide wide hoops hung from their ears. Girls also enjoyed the new privilege of wearing shorts to school, a cooler” way of staying cool. Movies were a Fatal Attraction” for the weekend and the appeal was extremely big — Big Town, Big Easy, Big Chill. Horror movies topped the charts as teens swarmed to see The Fly, Hellraiser, and sequels to Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Movie rentals were a cheap and conve- nient alternative to theatres. HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE I was in high school in the mid-60’s and the most important item in a girl's or a boy’s wardrobe was an oxford cloth shirt. If you seriously liked a boy or a girl the loop on the back of your shirt had to be cut in half. Bass wee- jins were a must and navy blue ones were the ultimate for a girl. An English look became popular with the import of the Beaties. This included the mini dress. I'll never forget my first one — bright kelly green with hot pink polka dots ... — Gary Brightwell Chris Rowe and Chad Brightwell show a little leg for the camera. Wearing shorts to school was a first-year privilege bestowed by Mr. Bennett as a means of surviving September's heat wave.

Though trends abundance of pockets and needed for change, their friendships will survive, warmth. Just BORN to shop! Trends A Hand To Hold On To When a termi- nal case of the blues hits, a best friend helps. He shares the ups and downs, highs and lows, holidays and school daze. What would high school be without friends? They greet you in the hall and gossip at your locker, exchang- ing notes and warning you about a pop test next period. They give you rides to school and help you eat your lunch. You share clothes, opin- ions, expectations, dreams, secrets, and advice. Friends are ir- replaceable and one of the best aspects of high school. Friends appear later in life: you meet them on the job, next door, and in adult social circles. But they are never as dear as those allies who insure you’re not alone in a big world — high school We’ve been together since kindergarten” — Jennifer Mixon and Car- men Valentine buddies are a united front, together facing every challenge that growing up presents. From the first child who sits next to you in kindergarten and ad- mires how you stay in the lines, to the last person you hug at graduation, saving the rest of your tears for the one who means the most, friends will play a part in growing up. But what makes these bonds so strong that they live through ar- guments, harsh words, math class, summer? Something deep inside that craves companion- ship, a little like the aggregation of cows. Special times friends give us, and so much more. John Cougar Mellencamp ex- pressed it this way — Everyone needs a hand to hold on to, don't need to be no strong hand, don't need to be no rich hand, every- one just needs a hand to hold on to .. .

You’re kicked out of class! It’s not so bad in the hall when you're not alone, to which Whit Carter and Bubba Jones can attest. The four musketeers? No, just four rowdy third graders living it up in the canteen. These seventh graders find P.E. is much more exciting when they share the fun. Not a bad way to spend sixth period, either! No one enjoys a good football game more than these second-graders, Lance Wilson, Will Haynes, Michael Castle, and Tony Fargnoli. Who could lose! Wendy Litchfield and Scott Pellum share lunch and each other’s company at the cafe at Charlestowne Landing. Friendship is a wonderful thing. It spans cultures, miles, and even generations. Imagine all that you learn through interac- tion of generations, and learning is one of the best aspects of friendship. Teachers can prove to be the best friends you’ll ever meet, guiding you through school and helping to mold you into the person you want to be, while learning a lot themselves from the fresh insight so typical of youth. Mrs. Howell spends as much time as possible with her students, showing them at the young age of kindergarteners that teachers are friends too. Friends 0 7 8 V Academics Division Mrs. Brightwell, librarian, practices a tried and true method of education, reading to young people. Methods of education experience the influence of trends much the way styles do. Recently one of the most important trends to affect high schools was the realization that stu- dents do not know factual information about the history of our country. Our country had been going through a period when educators stressed the importance of concepts and relationships. A result is a generation of students who do not know factual information. Educators now feel the previous trend was an error: facts should be taught while rends In Education instilling concepts and relationships. Edu- cators are also now emphasizing the im- portance of geography. Many current seniors in the country could not even identify the states, Mrs. Smoak, high school history teach- er, tries to vary her discussions with top- ics relevant to current issues. This serves to make her classes more exciting, and thus increases the interest in history for her students. I think they need to have a desire to learn, whether out of textbooks, newspapers, or whatever, just to learn ft They need to have a desire to learn Academics Editor Wendy Litchfield Academics Division V 9 ov©§ [F(§i(gyDfy The youthful attitude of the faculty here at John C. has really helped the students through the past year. They have literally taught everything there is to teach. And they have taught it well! The faculty and administration have spent a great deal of time preparing the students for graduation and having to go out into the world to college and jobs. The teachers had to make up tests, grade them, and give many notes and review on the test material They had just as much homework as the students? sometimes they had a lot more homework, EXAMS! Everyone hated them, but the teachers feel exams are necessary when facing college and the ex- cuses given there is well as how much the students had learned and retained throughout the semester. There was a lot of pressure on the teachers but they always helped the students to become better people. office. Faculty Robert G.

These Seniors take advan- tage of it. □ O Academics Two words students don’t like are school and homework. Since every- one has to go to school, the word homework always has to follow. Homework is defined as school lessons to be done at home. Some- times the teacher takes the word and adds a lot to the definition. Homework is one of the most fre- quently used words in school other than clear off your desk for a pop test. With the word homework, sounds of disapproval always follow. Some students define homework as — boring, stupid, terribly hard, all night and too much. Most stu- dents ask themselves every night, ’'Will I ever finish?” ;c . Hinton and Benji Crosby do their com- pos tk n homework before going to Mrs. Lader s class. During study hall, Mrs. Griffith takes her class to the library to help them with Chem- istry. Academics 13 Mrs. Folk gives the days lesson to the stu- dents from the college and J.C.C. Cindy Smith, Ashley Hudson, Allyson Haynes, Elizabeth Biggers, and Josh Siegel are taking French at Salk. Some of the Seniors are getting a head start on their college classes. After school these Seniors have talo- en time out of their afternoons to take Spanish and French. Mrs. Folk is the teacher at J.C.C. and Salke- hatchie. She has taught these stu- dents first and second year Spanish and French at J.C.C. By taking this class the Seniors will add hours to their college class- es. Now they will not have to take so many hours because they have gotten the class out of the way. This class will have set up the atmo- sphere of the college classes they will take in the next year. Allen Gustin, Amy Goehring, and Al Stanley are studying for their Spanish test. Academics The after-school program has been a very big success this yean When school is over the children go to a class room to study and finish their day's work. Then they get to have cookies and something to drink before going outside. The children are then allowed to go out and play on the playground for some time. Most of the children said that was the best part of the after-school program. When the parents get off work they can come and get the children. After homework is completed these two girls get to play a fun game. The best fun during after school hours is the time to go out and play. Mrs. Orsini catches up on her own work while the other students are doing theirs. r eryone is working diligently on his home- work so he can go play outside.

There are so many things that go on the J.C.C.A. library . . . The Stu- dent Council met there and some- times the National Honor Society also held meetings in the library. The library was just like a mad house during some parts of the day. Students meeting, studying, and looking for books caused chaos but Mrs. Brightwell could always keep it quiet. Mrs. Brightwell, the librarian, did a great job in the library keeping everything organized. The library had never looked so good! The library was such a popular place many students went there just to visit with each other. That is why the library was a Happening Place.” Mrs. Brightwell reads a stroy to the 4th grad- ers during their library time. Jami Gahagan researches his term paper for Mrs. Linder’s class. Academics Mr. Jones, guidance counselor, works very hard on getting college registrations in or- der. Mrs. Haygood and Mrs. Warren discuss how much cheerleader uniforms will cost. The school just would not be the same without the counselors and sponsors. They have given the stu- dents the needed support that has helped them get through the year. The responsibilities on these peo- ples hands has been tremendous. Some have gotten us into school and others have tried to help us gradu- ate. But the school just would not be the same without their support and guidance. J.C.C.A. would not func- tion without them. Mrs. Linder and Mrs. Smoak argue over which class is going to win the pep rally competition. 18 Academics Dedicated With Much Appreciation A parent, friend, and secretary are just a few of the responsibil- ities that Mrs. Nancy Beach up- holds. She has worked at John C for seven years. These years, her work, and her accomplishments have now not gone without rec- ognition. Over the years she has dedicated herself to John C. not only as the secretary but also as a mediator between the adminis- tration and the students. She gives her time to the school not only during the school's term but also during the summer. She mixes her duties at home, other civic duties, and du- ties at school very well. One thing can be said of Mrs. Beach, she would do anything asked of her. A typical day is crammed full of counting and depositing mon- ey, typing and filing records and fulfilling teacher’s errands. She calls mom when you’re sick and puts on the band-aids. Her smile in the morning, starts anyone's day off right. She shows her love, loyalty, care, and pride to the students and faculty of John C. At a Friday night foot- ball game, she can be found in the stands cheering the team on to a victory. So this year, the year- book staff proudly dedicates the 1988 Talon to Mrs. Nancy Beach. Vbs. ftodh takes a minute to en- Always working diligently, Mrs, Beach works hard to make sure the records are kept up-to-date. While taking a break, Mrs. Beach enjoys her coffee and snack. TV Dedication v 20 Sports Division U School spirit is what high school’s all about 99 The WarHawk mascot serves as a symbol of spirit for fans both young and old, never lacking enthusi- asm. What makes sports worth it? What kind of benefits atone for the hours of practice a sport re- quires, the aching muscles, the sweat and dirt, the summer practices, the agony of defeat? Well, of course, the thrill of vic- tory, but another thrill that makes athletes appreciate their efforts is school spirit: it keeps a team going when it’s on a winning roll; it encourages a player when the score makes him hopeless. Support of athletics is as important to a season as preparation. Ipirit's ffect on Season As Coach Maddox expressed it, “School spirit is what high school is all about. And it is, it draws us all together.” School spirit was at a new high for de- voted WarHawk fans in 1987. This atti- tude more than paid off as individuals as well as teams were recognized for superior efforts. The girls’ tennis and Varsity foot- ball teams both became Conference Champions and advanced all the way to regional playoffs.

They also attended a camp in Lex- ington. Before school began, John C. hosted a Jamboree in which several schools participated. The football team began the regu- lar season by traveling to Kennesaw, Georgia to play Shiloh Hills Chris- tian School. They brought home a 29- 6 victory. The next game was on the Hawks’ home field against Roy Hudgens. The Hawks again pre- vailed as they shut out Roy Hudgens 34-0. The one tie came when the Hawks traveled to St. Matthews to play Calhoun, The score was 6-6. By this time, the football team and the fans had adopted the motto, ’We've just begun”. The Hawks proved this motto by winning the next three games. With high spirits and determination, the Hawks faced East Cooper hoping for yet another win. Despite their efforts, the Hawks suffered a disappointing 30- 14 loss. It was later determined that this was due, in part, to bad officiating. The team didn’t waste any time in recovering from this loss, though, as they soundly de- feated Lawrence Manning 27-0 to take the 2 spot in the state. The War Hawks lost 14-11 to Mims and then beat Thomas Heyward 21-18 to win the region title. They finished regular season play with a 7-2-1 record. They then played Williams- burg for the lower state title. Al- though the temperature was frigid, the stands on both sides were filled. Unfortunately, the War Hawks lost 19-14 after leading in the first half. The following people were chosen to play in the All-Star game: Tiger Martin, Eric McGill, and Toby Hin- ton. The All-Conference players were J.J. Evans, Toby Hinton, Tiger Martin, and Eric McGill for offense; Todd Fennell for defense. Those making the 2nd team were Michael Warren, Robbie Murdaugh, Terry Jones, Bert Reeves, and Scott Cra- ven, Scott Craven, a junior, takes a break dur- ing a long, hard-played game.

The Varsity cheerleaders attend- ed a week-long camp this summer at USC. They won the spirit stick and blue ribbons (indicating superi- or performance) each day. At the end of the week, they won a trophy for best overall performance throughout the week. The job of a cheerleader doesn’t end with standing on the sideline and cheering. They also practiced at least once a week, planned pep rallies to boost everyone’s spirit, painted posters for the team to run through before the game, decorat- ed halls and lockers of the players, stapled the opposing team’s roster in programs for home games, and sold ribbons during first period ev- ery Friday. Besides the honors they won at camp, the cheerleaders also won a trophy at the Jamboree hosted by John C. They performed formation cheers and did a dance to the song Brass Monkey”, which included a two and a half level pyramid called the Tower. Although sometimes tired, sophomore, Keri Holmes, yells her team to victory. Varsity Cheerleaders o 25 Spirit!

They recovered quickly to defeat Holly Hill 8-6 and Dorchester 19-12. This would have been the end of the season, but at the last minute we scheduled a game with East Cooper.

They did an excellent job when they attended cheerlead- ing camp at USC in August. The squad showed how much spirit they have by beginning the week with a white ribbon and leaving camp with a blue ribbon for excellence. They spent many hours practicing, paint- ing posters, selling programs at var- sity games, and cheering their team to victory. Over the course of the year, not only did the squad show their ultimate spirit, but also their binding friendship.

Outstanding leadership and abili- ty ... These are characteristics which gave the Varsity boys bas- ketball team that extra something which brought them victories in several close games. When they were down by just a few points with less than a minute left on the clock, they could pull together to make the baskets that would put them ahead. The team consisted of eight sen- iors, four juniors, and one sopho- more. Most of the seniors had been playing together since they began playing J.V. basketball. This is im- portant because it helped them play together as a team and put the team's goals ahead of their own in- dividual goals. Two of the team members were foreign exchange students. They were Carlos Cifuentes from Spain and Christian Seitz from Germany. The Varsity boys were able to ex- perience playing in the Atlanta Omni, home of the Atlanta Hawks. They, along with the Varsity girls, traveled to Atlanta to play Shiloh Hills Christian School. After these games, the players watched the At- lanta Hawks play.

Their wins came few and far be- tween, but they didn’t let this get them down. No, they persevered to the end, although many times their only reward for their efforts was the knowledge that they had done their best. The team was small, consisting of only ten girls — four seniors, four juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman. If we win men's hearts throughout the world, it will not be because we are a big country but because we are a great country. Bigness is imposing. But greatness is enduring.” — Adlai E. Stevenson. This statement also holds true for basketball teams. The Varsity girls fit this description, not in terms of the number of games won, but in their tremendous spirit and their desire to do their best even when faced with impossible odds. Since they are only losing four seniors, they are looking for a good season next year. With her feet and body Jined up perfect- ly, Rhonda Smith is sure to sink it.

In the past, the members of the cheerleading squad cheered for both football and basketball. The 198788 school year brought a change to this tradition. The girls that composed the squad could elect to cheer for both football and basketball, or they could cheer only for football. Five girls chose to leave the squad after the football season ended. This left five positions open for new cheerleaders. The squad's alternate, Lesi Rogers, automatically got one of these positions. Since four girls signed up to fill the re- maining four positions, tryouts were unnecessary. These four were Holly Roberts, Amy Goehring, Kim Carter, and Jeanette Turner.

Practicing after school on days when the J.V. and Varsity teams had games, the boys and girls B team basketball players learned the rules of the game and had fun as well. When asked how she felt about playing B-team basketball, Holly Griffith said, It’s hard work, but it’s fun ' Besides learning the rules, they also learned the proper way to drib- ble, pass, and shoot. Another impor- tant thing they learned was how to work together as a team. A few of the B-team players played J.V. bas- ketball as well, but for those who didn’t, the experience they got playing B-team basketball will help them in the years to come as they go on to play J.V. and Varsity bas- ketball.

Be- ing on the J.V. boys team, they not only learned how to work together. but also the true meaning of sports- manship. As long as they did their best, it didn’t matter if they won or lost.

On the J.V, team, the players learn to have confidence in their abilities. They also, through many long, grueling days of practice, perfect these abil- ities. The J.V. girl's coach is Danny Parnell. He also coaches the Varsity girls. This is his first year coaching, as well as teaching, at John C. Experience will be a factor next year.

The 1986-1987 Varsity baseball team consisted of thirteen players. This was a rebuilding year for the War Hawks. But, what they lacked in experience, they more than made up for in enthusiasm and determina- tion. A usual War Hawk practice lasted about two hours. It began with some running. Next the War Hawk team practiced playing the infield. This was followed by batting practice. The team practiced long and hard, but when it came time for the game, the scores didn't reflect all of that hard work. The Hawks ended the regular sea- son with five wins and nine losses but, fortunately for the Hawks, the only other team in the conference was Thomas Heyward. Because of this, the Hawks were automatically in the playoffs even though their regular season was not as good as they would have liked. As they went into the playoffs, the Hawks still had high hopes of a victory. If they could have won the games with determination alone, there would have been no contest. But to no avail, they still came up short on the scoreboard. The War Hawks ended the season with a record of five wins and thirteen losses. 48 O Varsity Baseball Sophomore Brian Thomas gives his best ef- fort from the mound hoping to get that need- ed third strike.

The dream of a War Hawk softball player: Hitting the first home run of the season and hearing the fans cheer her on, or catching the fly ball that gives the opponent an out and gives the War Hawk team yet an- other win to add to their record. Although the softball team was small in numbers and had several younger players, they practiced ev- ery afternoon in the hot summer sun to fulfill their dreams for the season. Wendy Litchfield, a junior and four-year veteran, said, Softball takes a lot of hard work and dedica- tion but it is worth every minute because it is so much fun.” The highlight of the season was when they beat arch rival Dorches- ter twice during regular season, which raised the team’s spirit for the playoff tournament. In the first game of the playoffs, the Hawks again faced Dorchester and again prevailed. This put Dorchester out of the bid for the State tournament. The next team they faced in the playoffs was Roy Hudgens. They tried their best to keep up with them, but the Roy Hudgens players were more experienced. The Hawks were defeated 12-6 They ended the season with nine wins and eight losses. Freshman Susan Zeigler looks surprised as she watches the ball she just hit sail into the outfield.

The dedication of the Student Coun- cil to help others did not stop with school. They became involved in com- munity projects. They distributed food to the needy at Thanksgiving. All stu- dents were asked to give canned goods to help with this project. They also took up food for the SPCA. Again this year the S.C.I.C.A. Asso- ciation sponsored a student exchange.

It provides us with memo- ries of special events, special friends, special accomplishments, lots of hard work, and good times. Most people do not realize the amount of time and effort put into cre- ating a yearbook. Even before school started the staff members were hard at work selling ads and planning lay- outs. Usually the staff attends summer camp sponsored by Jostens Yearbook Company. Due to schedules and other conflicts this past summer, they were unable to go. Mrs. Hawes held a special camp at John C. to help the new staff members. Each editor, photographer. and staff member received informa- tion about the year of hard work ahead. Many hours went into producing the 1987-88 Talon. Processing pictures, writing copy, and drawing layouts all took place until the last deadline was met. The yearbook editors included Ally- son Haynes — Editor-in-Chief, Kim Carter — Sports, Tracy Ulmer — Sen- ior Class, Amy Gentry — Classes, Wendy Litchfield — Academics, Emily Warren — Activities, and Lesi Rodgers — Ads. Photographers were Amy Goehring, Jamie Gahagan, Allison Goehring and Nichole Ray. Business manager, Allison Nettles, busy at work, as always, is finish- ing up on all the paper work that goes along with the annual. Look at this one! These staff mem- bers sort through this box in search of pictures which the edi- tors may be able to use. Yearbook Staff NO PICTURES NC YEARBOOK, NO MEMORIES! Everyone looks forward to receiving their yearbook but what if there wasn’t one. It it was not for the pho- tographers there would be no pictures, therefore no yearbook. The photographers are just as im- portant as the editors. They have to take pictures, process, and print the film for the editors before the upcom- ing deadline. This major responsibility was given to Amy Goehring for the third year in a row. She has been head photogra- pher. Great thanks goes to her for hav- ing the pictures ready in time for the deadlines.

War Hawk Staff THE WaVE IHaVWE NEWS aVT IT'S BEST The War Hawk, John C’s own news- paper was published four times during the Year. A lot of hard work went into the preparation of each issue. Under the guidance of Mrs. Betty Goehring the staff worked diligently on each as- signment given to them over the course of the year. The newspaper contains articles such as class news, including field trips, birthdays, and special projects. Student Spotlight, mystery student, sports, and other information about events taking place at school were in- cluded. Each issue also had a Presi- dent’s Corner where the Student Body President, Matt Hiott, relayed his mes- sages to the students, faculty, and par- ents. There were two main issues. The first included the Senior Letters to Santa. The second ended the year with the Seniors' Last Will and Testa- ment.” There was also a special Valen- tine's Day edition in which the stu- dents were able to purchase special messages. Putting together a newspaper takes a lot of hard work and dedication. The staff has to write articles, take pic- tures, sell ads, and meet deadlines. Great thanks goes to the advisor Mrs. Betty Goehring. Without her help The War Hawk might not exist.

At Christmas time they learned Christmas carols in Spanish and went caroling through the school building, delighting everyone with the switch of languages. The new Spanish students really enjoyed celebrating the Spanish holidays and exploring the foreign customs. The Spanish Club officers spend their extra time helping Mrs. Folk to plan their upcoming parties and field trips that might be taken. These members of the Spanish Club enjoy having parties. While they are partying they are learn- ing how special holidays are cele- brated in Spain. 70 Spanish Club During the party celebrating Christmas, Mrs. Folk serves her students drinks and foods that are served in Spain at this particular holiday. It's a typical Spanish tradition. Asher Fiowell gets his present out of his shoe and not his stocking, as in America.

Everyone dressed as surfers on Monday to Wipe Out the Hurricanes. Tuesday, everyone either dressed as their favorite football play- er or wore a small football badge with his number. The most popular player was a ninth grader, Asher Howell. Wednesday was favorite coach day while Thursday found everyone in black. Why? To mourn the Hurricanes, of course. Friday was Blue and White day. Spirit Week climaxed at the Pep Rally on Friday when we celebrated Homecoming 1997. All the senior foot- ball players predicted how they might return ten years down the road. We had the traditional skits and as usual the juniors with their Hawk Express train rolled off with first place prize. All the spirit payed off when JCCA came out on top of the Hurricanes boasting a handsome score. During halftime Miss Becky Bennett was crowned Homecoming Queen, Please don’t tell Matt Hiott that he is not really the Homecoming Queen 1987. I’m sure he would be upset. Ashley Hudson hugs some of her future children from dance school. The senior class show their school spirit as they perform their Home- coming skit as the '‘Spirit Ribbon Choir.” Don’t you recognize these guys?

With a tough decision like that, the safest bet is to vote for ALL the senior players! Spirit Week 73 The candidates for Homecoming Queen, Becky Bennett, Wendy Litchfield, and Kelly Ferguson, show their senior spirit as they dress up as Spirit Ribbons.” Kelly Ferguson gives Becky Ben- nett a hug of congratulations for being chosen the Homecoming Queen of 1987. Becky Bennett, escorted by Jim McGill, smiles radiantly as she is crowned by former Homecoming Queen, Melody McGinnis. 74 ( Homecoming Spirit Week ended with the same excitement with which it had begun. Not only did our football team provide us with a victory at the game, our stu- dent body presented us with a new Homecoming Queen, Three candidates were nominated from the senior class — Wendy Litch- field, Kelly Ferguson, and Becky Ben- nett were the lucky girls. It was not until halftime of the game that our cu- rious minds were satisfied. The 1986 Queen, Melody McGinnis, returned to crown Miss Becky Bennett as our new 1987 Homecoming Queen of John C. Calhoun Academy. The football team provided us with a great victory over the Hurricanes of First Baptist. After the game the team celebrated by going to the Homecom- ing Dance sponsored by the Junior class. There were decorations of bal- loons, football helmets and mega- phones with the football players and cheerleaders names on them and streamers. Homecoming, a tradition at John C, is more than just dressing in crazy cos- tumes. The tradition includes the real coming home, of alumni, friends, and family, to share in a spirit of pride in academics and athletics. The spirit of the school is exempli- fied by Drew Brightwell as he heads the WarHawk tunnel, through which the team will enter the field. What’s Homecoming without a bonfire? These seniors find it a time to share close friendships and bond in raising spirit. Have we reverted to the hippie age? Not if this is really Matt Hiott in disguise, displaying his alter ego for fans at the bonfire. Too close for comfort? The senior sponsors were almost part of the game a few times due to their seating within the gates of the field. Homecoming f) 75 liipg jt looks like Hardee's California Raisins have come to life. No the Vikings haven't landed, it’s only Tracy Ulmer and Bud Wil- liams. On Friday October 30 the hails of j.CC.A. were buzzing with Halloween excitement. The seniors came to school in their costumes. We had jail- birds, rag dolls, California rai sins, Hagar the Horrible and the devil himself. Everyone enjoyed these slightly over- sized Trick or Treaters. The P.T.O- sponsored its an- nual Halloween Carnival in the gym on October 31. Ghosts and gobblins of all shapes and sizes came to take part in the fun and festivities. : f ......... ' IB ccn Could it be they? I heard that Caroline Linder and Becky Bennett escaped from prison. As you can tell. Amy Goehring and Wendy Hiott never grew out of the baby doll stage. 76 Halloween JC..-SC. 87 The Juniors chose to have Subway play for them this year. Their music filled the gym throughout the night. As usual, six Sopho- mores were chosen as ushers for the dance. They included Kevin Beach, Wayne Crosby, Todd Fennell, Bert Reeves, Daryl Smoak, and Brian Thomas. The 1987 Sophomore ushers an- ticipate a wild evening at their first Junior-Senior prom. Wendy Hiott, Toni Hooker, and dates enjoy a slow dance. The 1987 Junior-Senior proudly presented Subway to rock the night away. Junior-Senior 77 A group of friends stop to proudly pose for a picture so they may re- member this night forever. Sophomore ushers Darryl Smoak and Bert Reeves pause to savor the excitement of the dance be- fore rushing back to their dates. April II, 1987 climaxed a year of plan- ning, fund raising, and hard work. Jr.- Sr. was transformed from an idea to a reality. This year the junior class brought New Orleans home to the senior class. Decorations of balloons and masks car- ried the seniors and their guests through the night. Prior to the dance a drop-in was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cahr- lie Brightwell. Drinks and refresh- ments were enjoyed by all. And of course our favorite photographer — Bill Bone was on hand to take each couple’s picture. As the minutes ticked by and the night went on, Jr.-Sr. 1987 was soon to become one of those fond high school memories. The fond memories turned into a nightmare of realities for the juniors early in the morning of April 2 as they sleepily assembled to clean-up the re- mains of the night before. The driving force that kept them going this early morning was NO SCHOOL ON MON- DAY!! Great thanks goes to Mrs. Peggy Smoak for all her help and support. Without her advice the Juniors wouldn't have finished the dance.

Survival — it binds the strangest of characters: shipwrecked strangers, prison cell mates, and high school classmates. There's something about be- ing with the same twenty students for twelve years that forms an unbreakable bond welded with the agonies of algebra, history, and literature pop tests. No time does a class become closer than its junior year. Eleventh-grader Ke- vin Beach said, After successfully going through with the Haunted House project, magazine sales, and Mrs. Linder for a year, I feel our class has become closer. By being forced to work together to make something happen, it showed us that things won't work well unless a group functions as a group and not as individ- uals. Working together as a group causes relationships to be formed that might not have been formed otherwise.” Things won’t work well unless a group functions as a group .-•eople Division v SI BECKY BENNETT: FAVORITE QUOTE: Just pickin.

Wait- ing to get individual pictures taken seems to take forever when the temperature is this highl A Journey Never To Forget The End Approaches The first time the seniors walked through the high school doors as freshmen, they knew they had a long road ahead of them. But this group of students stuck through it all and now they have become seniors. It has been a long journey but while on that journey they have made many memories. They have seen new friends come in and old ones leave them. They have helped one another get through those unbearable times and enjoy those memorable ones. They have stuck together no matter what the task or toil. This togetherness will be remem- bered after graduation. At that time, one by one each student will go his separate way. However, each individ- ual will always carry with him that unique togetherness that made him a member of the Class of '88 All of the late nights spent finishing a book for a book report, all the hours studying algebra, all the effort will be remembered for making each student into the mature person he became through high school. 84 o Seniors Let's see, how will I stand?

Two of them were off-campus lunch and leaving school at the clean up bell af- ter their classrooms were clean. Usually, the off-campus lunch is not given to the Sen- iors until later on in the year. To get this privilege early in the year was an honor. Al- though with everything there is also a bad side. For a stu- dent to be eligible, he must maintain a C average in every class. But the bright side of it is that the lunch is just a little reward for all the long hours of study. A very much appreciated privilege is getting to leave fourth period three minutes early in order to beat the mad race to the lunch line. Another privilege that is also reward- ing is leaving school at the dean up bell. THE FEU), THE PROUD, THE PRIVILEGED These Seniors spend time outside. Seniors 89 All aboard!

It has become a tradition to take a day out of school to take can- dids, group shots, and posed pictures that would imprint the senior year in the memory of the students. Several choices were debated, many of which proved to be unfeasi- ble. Carowinds would have taken a Sunday out of the sen- iors’ weekend, and caused a lot of trouble with those stu- dents who worked. The priori- ties involved included good scenery, lots of shade, and plenty of ways to have fun. Charlestowne Landing turned out to have the greatest quali- fications, and the seniors packed up their lunches for a day full of sights, sounds, food, and fun.

This presti- gious senior superlative, chosen by the school faculty, is given to a boy and girl of the senior class that exemplifies the school values and characteristics. Some of the char- acteristics are responsibility, determination and student involvement. Throughout the years Chad and Amy have shown these quali- ties. Amy has been head photographer for the yearbook for three years, president of NHS, a member of the Foreign Language Club and a class officer for three years. Chad has been involved with football, basketball, ten- nis and has been a class officer for four years. Both Amy and Chad are members of Who's Who Among American High School Students.

They worked continuously on fund raising for the prom with such events as the annual magazine and doughnut sales. But there was fun in sponsoring the Homecoming Dance and the Haunted House. Many of the students were busy with jobs while many played sports or enjoyed other activities. All of these responsibilities helped them to become more mature and pre- pared for their upcoming year as seniors. They realized that they had to take studying more seriously and begin to think about their future college plans. Although this year’s juniors had had the distinction of being known as the black sheep class they have proved that they can make a real contribution to life at John C. Calhoun. It really goes to show that there is a light at the end of a tun- nel. Chemistry requires extreme concentration as shown in the faces of Todd Fennell. Wayne Crosby, and Amy Gentry.

High school life also brought plenty of work and responsibility. Many students took their first PSAT and found it was a real challenge. Challenges also came in other forms. Statements such as '’who needs geometry anyway? , echoed through the halls. As the year progressed uncertain whispers turned into proud statements of 1 knew I could do it .

Faith of soon becoming high school students next year kept their spirits high. They worked hard but also took time to enjoy pep ral- lies, sports events, and all school ac- tivities. This year they had the privileged but also unsettling experience of having lockers with the upper class- men. Many times their goals seemed out of reach but they kept on striving always remembering, ”you gotta have faith”. Landis Williams and Laurie Steele take a break during P.E.

They enjoyed more freedom to become involved in school activities and to be a real part of John C. Calhoun life.

This year they had more than one teacher and that meant they had to learn each teacher's rules and regula- tions. These fifth graders were busy with essays and math problems. If they weren’t doing that then they were learn- ing the South American countries. This was only possible if they could speak Spanish which they soon learned. Even though all of those new experiences were hard the great- est challenge of all was the dreaded exams. The students struggled through and everything worked out for them.

These students studied about the Native American Indian’s life. They then built projects to show what they had learned. When they weren't studying the Indians they were building volca- noes for science. They also went to see the Nutcracker Ballet in Charleston. But the highlight of the year was the singing of Christmas carols at the parent’s program. These fourth graders take a break from their school work to give us a big smile.

By the time students reached this grade they were able to spell, read well, do math and write in cursive. Now it was time for them to move on to bigger and better things.

Mrs. Richardson's first grade class weren’t babies anymore. It took a while for them to adjust to staying in school till 2:20 and not having cookie breaks. Each day brought new and exciting activities. Learning to count money and tell time were among the many new ideas introduced. The main topic that the first graders studied was them- selves, their families, and their needs. When asked what their favorite subject was, the first graders unanimously replied science, but math followed close behind. They've enjoyed learning the difference between living and nonliv- ing things. They also enjoyed studying about the different types of plants and animals. The first graders have many years to look forward to and enjoy.

Kindergarten Ol25 The End And The Beginning Graduation was the end and the beginning for the Class of ’87. It was the end of their career at John C Calhoun. These students would no longer be together as a group. The Class of '87 realized that now they were not the head of the school but young men and women heading out into the big world. This was the be- ginning of greater responsibility and more determination for the long road ahead. As the students listened to the words of their fellow classmates Jonnie Neal, Valedictorian, and Debbie Powers, Salutatorian, varied thoughts raced through their minds. Joy mixed with sadness shown on all faces. Hopes, dreams, relief, and even dread could be seen. But no matter what the future held for each they knew they would always be proud to be a John C. Calhoun graduate. Marc Warren, Traci Warren, and Mark Wil- liams, begin to bubble with enthusiasm as the graduation exercise comes to an end. Traci Warren gives a big smile for the cam- era as she walks down the aisle. Congressman Arthur Ravenel, the guest speaker at graduation, gives the students a vote of confidence as they head into the world. fiUtOH Am Goehring, daughter of Richard and Betty Goehr- ing, had the pleasure of being chosen Miss Talon by the student body.

Shelly is a member of the Student Council and enjoys cheering for the junior varsity football and basketball teams. Beauties 0 129 1 H E A R D IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE I remember every facet of high school and the memories are warm, friendly, happy ones. Special memo- ries include the Junior Class play — Mrs. Fred Parker was our sponsor ... Senior Follies — the entire town helped with costumes ... Mrs. Ruth Thomas — history and government — she inspired me to major in history ... cheering for football games in very cold weather ... great friends! — Peggy Smoak By The End Of The Year . . . What’s Left To Remember? Highs and tows ups and downs: the year was full of them. Looking back, there are so many things worth remembering. Some of them are small, seemingly insignificant, but in fact very special pieces of the entire experience of high school Passing that impossible exam, spend- ing lunch outside with special friends, helping a classmate understand his homework — little things that mean so much. Of course, a lot of what we remember about the year are the big, BIG moments, indelibly printed in our minds to distinguish the year from all others. That morning we walked into the gym and saw all of our friends for the first time since summer that night the football team played the finest game of the season, and made ev- eryone proud , Homecoming, with all its celebration� the tennis match won in a suspenseful tie-breaker} the basketball game won in the last three seconds� Prom night, and the ensuing weekend that seemed to last forever. These are things we can t forget: special times shared with special friends that make high school the experience of a lifetime. It's been said that it’s the laughter we will remember whenever we remember the way we were,” This may be true, though we had our share of hard times. The laughter, the good times, stand out and make up for the bad. Drew Brightwell leads the ninth grade's Raisin Crew” in a rendition of Heard it through the Grapevine” at a pep rally.

A casual glance outside, howev- er, stunned each student into full conscious- ness. There was actually snow on the ground! A week earlier, the snow would not have been such a surprise. Sleet, freezing rain, and icy roads kept the school closed for a day and a half, and caused two basketball games to be canceled. But this week, Friday’s weather was totally unexpected — and the extended week- end brightened everyone’s forecast! Young and old, student and teacher, neither age nor position prevented anyone from enjoy- ing the unusual, and brief, respite from school’s responsibilities. 132 Closing William Williams is in another generation that loves the view from the big” slide. A Change Of Season Winter Sets A New Pace The cool cotton of summer gave way to winter’s warm wool before we knew it. Like every thing else, sports moved inside with the arrival of basketball season: al- ways the signal for a changing season. Several school days were missed when bad weather made the roads hazardous. A main concern of some students was when these unexpect- ed free days would come back to haunt them. Snow days are almost always made up towards the end of the year, and a fear many students ex- pressed was that their spring break and Easter holidays would be subtracted to account for the weather’s forced holidays. ”1 would almost rather go to school in the snow I would almost rather go to school in the snow ” — Cindy Smith than have to go extra days in April. I want ALL of my Spring Breakl” said Cindy Smith, who shared the sentiments of many others whom Spring Fever” always hit hard. There was some ex- citement to take away from the winter blahs. A student-fac- ulty basketball game was held in the gym sixth period, on Janu- ary 27th. Due to an in- sufficient number of males on the faculty team, the game was changed to co-ed. So coaches and teach- ers, boys and girls battled it out on the court for two eight- minute periods divid- ed by a half-time with performances of the faculty cheerlead- ers”. Jamming to Twist and Shout and doing the hand jive, the six teachers stole the show. A Taste Of Politics Politicians campaign in many places, but few find their way to Walterboro, S.C. January 19 was an exception to this rule. Mrs. Elizabeth Dole, wife of possible Republican presidential candi- date Robert Dole, visited Dog- wood Hills Country Club to ex- pound on the merits of her husband. Mrs. Smoak's senior government class went to see Mrs. Dole, an accomplished poli- tician in her own right, and en- joyed the finesse with which she presented her case. Soon to be- come eighteen, many seniors were very interested in the can- didate. John C.'s football field was unrecognizable with it blanket of snow. Closing 0 133 : And In With The New What was different about 1988? We were one grade older and one year closer to reaching the end of high school; but what was really changed when we returned to the hallowed halls of John C for the new year? Well, the floors were mopped and desks stuck to the ground a day or two. Everyone wore new clothes for a week and discussed what they did over the holidays. Girls were con- vinced they had gained weight from Christmas candy; boys were convinced they could never again get used to waking up at seven o’clock. All students returned with a fresh attitude, however, and decid- ed to excel in ’88. The new year brought with it some new faces and experiences. Ted and Neal Persky joined the stu- dents of John C. in January. Seniors who were taking composition with Mrs. Linder switched to speech with Mrs. Goehring, and vice versa. Juniors began thinking about the SAT, and planning Jr-Sr. The end of the school year was clearly in view — but would it ever arrive? Students are always looking forward to something, be it the weekend or summer, and before Christmas the holiday season was anxiously awaited. After returning, however, everyone could only think of one thing: how many days until Spring Break?? The new year heralded more than new resolutions and new expecta- tions, It was the beginning of new academic challenges. The JCCA spelling bee was held January 20th. Winners included Michael Stone and Tony Stone, 4th; Leigh Ann Ben- nett and Wanda Herndon, 5th; Amy Carter and Jason Strickland, 6th; Cope Johnston and Craig White, 7th; Melissa Hinton and Robbie Pad- gett, 8th.

TO ONE WE REMEMBER Tragedy can never be pre- pared for. It hits us when we are unguarded and leaves us with a thousand unspoken words. Debbie Powers’ years at John C. were filled with laughter and a joy tn being in- volved. A cheerleader, softball and basketball player, and member of the annual staff, Debbie brightened the room around her with enthusiasm. So we shall remember her with the smile that never left her face, and hope that the loss of one may help others to cher- ish their own friendships. For we all lost a dear friend too suddenly in the tragic acci- dent of October 20, 1987.

Well, good news.This fall you can sign up for Bargain Checking instead. You'll pay no service charges. There’s no minimum balance required. And there's no limit on the number of checks you can write. Plus, every month well send you an itemized monthly statement. In fact, the only thing you won’t get is a bunch of cancelled checks, (But in case you ever need one.well keep them safe at the bank.) It’s that simple. You keep the service charges. We keep the checks. So why not make your money go a little further? Get some free student aid from South Carolina National. Get Bargain Checking.
