People, Sports, Academics, Classes, Activities A Great Year? Exactly what is a great year? It's months filled with wonderful, exciting, memorable events. A school year nine months of learning and fun along with hard work and, some- times disappointment. This great year of 1988-89 has brought us close friendships and sometimes even closer relation- ships with a special member of the opposite sex ' We have en- joyed many John C. events to- gether: the Halloween Carnival, Homecoming, athletic tourna- ments, Junior-Senior Prom — all the special times we have shared with our classmates. Sport events put our teams to the test. They had to spend their afternoons out on the athletic fields practicing their plays in football, baseball or softball. Or they were working on their fore- hand on the tennis courts, or practicing free throws in the gym. Some were even walking the course at the Country Club, practicing their golf swings. And at the same time, they had to find time to study. 2 Introduction These seventh and eighth graders social- What is this, Halloween in the spring?

Teachers call class time a time for structured learning, but we students know it's more than that. We had to leam also to grow up, to make the decision to leam, to accept the oppor- tunities the teachers put before us. We had to find out just who we are, and, more than that, who we are to become. Most importantly, we learned that learning is not a part-time job — that all those times we shared with our friends, our teachers, the staff, were times of education in all sorts of ways. While we were learning how to conju- gate verbs and to find the lowest com- mon denominator, we were learning how to live. In the pages that follow the reader can clearly see that the (1988-89 school year) was A Great Year. Mrs. Linder takes time out to talk to Mrs. Walker about her son's English grades. Nicole Ray, a yearbook photographer, works diligently after school on the next deadline. Introduction 3 7 “DAIf m utiay, tuum, and ---------ft---------- This year.

The alarm clock rang con- tinuously, the feet hit the floor, and the body was up. This was going to be the be- ginning of ”A GREAT DAY . The student rose early or late as the case may have been for another day at John C. Cal- houn. Homeroom was a time for socializing and lunch orders to be placed. First period ar- rived and the day had really begun. After the changing of classes most students were fi- nally awake. Only a few more 1 , A Great Day Typical day at John C. is not much different from other schools. Everyone studies, jokes, and partici- pates in activities. John C„ however, has an advantage in that everyone is close and friendly. Kevin Beach classes were left before lunch. A little Geometry here and some English there took up the next few classes. The chance to pass that special note to that special person without being caught in Mrs. Linder's class was a challenge and so was the Literature test. The bell rang and it was off to lunch. After lunch, the day had al- most ended and the anxious students awaited the final bell. Finally it was time to go, and the mad dash to the lockers and cars was made.

If 1 bomb a test it's even worse.” Allen Goehring John C. Calhoun could be best described as one big happy family in more ways than one. riot only was the re- lationship between the stu- dents and the teachers close and caring academically, but many teachers and students were actually related. Mothers and fathers taught sons and daughters, grandmothers taught grandchildren, and aunts and uncles abounded. These students felt uncom- fortable at times.

If their grades were not up to par they would hear about them both at home and school. If a good grade had been rewarded friends would badger them constantly. As far as the teach- ers were concerned, they sup- ported their kinsmen. Through the good and bad grades, the headaches and re- wards, that parental care could always be found.

Kevin Litchfield The last bell of the day rings signalling Time Out, the most important part of the day for most students. Whether it was playing sports or the piano, students could always ex- press themselves. Some stu- dents spent their time in front of the television hoping for Reva and Josh to unite once again. Still others were palling around with friends or taking a short nap. Students also im- proved their ball changes and turns by taking dance lessons. The lower school students were involved in the exciting activities of scouting. Learning social skills and providing community services were only a few. While scouting was tak- ing place in the lower grades, the high school students were busy with after school jobs. Much time was also con- sumed talking on the phone with a special friend. Home- work was another item on the agenda of the day. This item always had to be done and that was a fact. Time Out When riicole Ray isn't busy with her studie she likes to brush up” on her piano skills. The yearbook photographers were able to take Ashley Biggers by surprise at a Varsity football game. Ashley is always there to support the team. x ' Vi The school Cub Scout group met regularly each month. This particular meeting was held for the parents and plans were discussed about the up- coming trip. Mrs. Corrine Brittle, a teacher at the school, also runs the after shcool pro- gram.

Achievers, Project, 4-H club, helpers PECIAL All of John C, Calhoun's students this year were special from kindergarten to seniors, but certain kids stood out. Most people would assume they stood out because they excelled in academics or athletics but there was much more to them. They were special because they were interested in helping others. Stu- dents may help within John C., such as teaching music or being library aids, or they may help outside the school such as being candy stripers. Many stu- dents were involved in Boy Scouts or 4-H clubs which get them involved in bettering their community. Kevin Dantzler received a 4-H award for raising catfish himself.

Student Council was an organiza- tion made up of hard working students who perform duties for John C. and the Walterboro community. This out- standing group of four- teen students was cho- sen by their peers in class elections. The offi- cers were as follows: Ke- vin Beach, president; Al- len Goehring, vice- president; Allison Goehring, sec. — trea- surer; and Gary Brightwell faculty advi- sor. As usual, the student council had been respon- sible for Homecoming preparations. Thanksgiv- ing baskets for the needy, and a food drive for the S.P.C.A. Along with these activities, they were sponsoring a drug and alcohol education program and had met with the student council of Walterboro High school to exchange ideas and discuss future joint projects. 14, Student Council The officers of the 1988-89 Student Council are: Kevin Beach, presi- dent; Allen Goehring, vice-pres.; and Allison Goehring, sec.-treas.

The 1988-89 national Honor Society had only given the privilege of its membership to five sen- iors this year. These sen- iors showed overwhelm- ing qualities in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Kevin Beach, president, J.J. Evans, sec.-treasur- er; Amy Gentry, Christy Steele, and Emily Warren were the honored mem- bers of this club. Every year between February and spring jun- iors that were active and have maintained a B av- erage were inducted into the national Honor Soci- ety in a candlelight cere- mony. The chief duty of the members was to provide student assistance when- ever it was needed. Tra- ditionally, they helped in the library and were hosts and hostesses for the Academic Bowl which John C.

It involved rep- resentatives from the high school grades. The contestants from J.C.C.A. were Tiger Martin, Daryl Smoak, Melodie Pearce, Reeves McLeod, and Don Futch. Every grade has its own level of questions in English, Math, Sci- ence, Social Studies, and Current Events. Fourteen schools competed and out of the fourteen students in each grade five made it from the pre- liminaries to the finals. Tiger Martin won the twelfth grade compe- tion.

They brought to life the activities of the year. Much hard work and time went into taking the great pictures. The photographers were re- sponsible for taking pic- tures of all activities and developing them. The 1988-89 photogra- phers were Renee Den- nis, Allison Goehring, and Nicole Ray. Mrs. Hawes also took many of the photographs such as those of the Homecom- ing sponsors.

The club cooked their own Span- ish appetizers during class and had a great time devouring their creations. This Christ- mas they sang carols in Spanish throughout the upper, middle, and lower schools. This year's club officers were as follows: Allison Qoehring, President; Shane Walker, Vice-President; and Charle Valentine, Sec.- treasurer. The sponsor was Mrs. Sharon Folk. Many of the club members will be going to Spain this summer. They will be chaperoned by Mrs. Folk. She is an excellent chaperone because she is well aquainted with Spain's interesting hot spots.

Seniors enjoyed the tra- dition of dressing up in costumes ranging from bag ladies to babies, mice to clowns, and Po- cohontas to ghouls. Some of the kids in the lower school adorned California Raisin cos- tumes and had Hallow- een parties. As usual, John C. had a fantastic Halloween Carnival with bingo, go fish , apple bobbing, and tic tac toe. The eighth grade class had a face painting boothe and the seniors sponsored a sponge toss. The main attraction, though, was the junior's Haunted House. It had many of your nightmares come true, including scenes with Jason , Freddy Kruger , and Vampires.

Junior-Senior 33 A TIME OF TEARS Graduation was the end and be- ginning for the Class of 88. Gradu- ation would end an important chap- ter in their life and open the door to many new experiences. These stu- dents soon began to realize that they would no longer be the head of the school but young men and women heading out in the big world. As the tearful farewell was said by Amy Goehring, Valedictorian and Cindy Smith, Salutatorian, varied thoughts raced through their minds. Their hopes, dreams and their relief could be seen on their faces. They all knew each part of the unit would go his separate way — never to forget times shared with the unit — The Class of '89.

The Varsity cheerleaders form a perfect pyramid during their routine for the competition at the Jamboree. On August nineteenth JCC hosted a football Jamboree. Six teams and their cheerlead- ers came to participate. Each team played a twenty-five min- ute quarter. John C. played and defeated Patrick Henry 14- 0. The first touchdown was made by a pass from Cam Werntz to Asher Howell. Wayne Crosby got the two point conversion. Crosby also ran the ball in for the second touchdown. Our defense held Patrick Henry scoreless. There was also a cheerlead- ing competition. The Varsity cheerleaders did a dance to “Brass Monkey . They won third place in the competition, while Thomas Heyward won second, and Patrick Henry won first place. The Jamboree gave the Hawks a good start. It gave both the players and cheere- leaders confidence to begin the season. .K.', We opened the seasson as a team and not as a bunch of individuals. — J.J.

MY FAULT The Varsity Football team had a frustrating season. The Hawk's overall record of 2-7 did not reflect their actual performance throughout the season. The Hawks along with head coach. Doc Lewis, and all of the assistant coaches, began practicing in early August. A week long foot- ball camp was held at John C. to help improve the Hawks performance for the upcoming season. The Hawks got off to a good pre- season start. They played impressively in scrimages against Holly Hill and Coun- try Day. The Hawks also de- feated Patrick Henry 14-0 in the Jamboree. The Varsity Football team started the 1988 season with a loss in double over- time, 26-19, to Clarendon Hall, who at the time was ranked Ho. 1 among SC1SA independent teams. In their second outing, the Hawks barely defeated Roy Hud- gens 7-6 to gain their first win. After the second game of the season, the Hawks fell into a slump. It was not really anoyone's fault. Inju- ries and illnesses were con- stantly hampering the Hawks. Key players were in- jured at various times throughout the season. Due to these inuries, many young and unexperienced players were often in the game. The Hawks had a fairly strong defense, but they were just not able to pro- duce offensively. It was a strange situation, because basically the same players who played on the offense also played on the defense. Despite the losses, the Hawks never gave up. They gave their all throughout the season, but they just could not put it together. The Hawks always held their heads high. Rain or shine, they were on the field practicing everyday. A team with that sort of attitude de- serves to be respected. The War Hawk Defense breaks through the opponents offensive line to stop the ball carrier and prevent them from get- ting a first down. 38 Varsity Football Senior, Wayne Crosby, grabs hold of the opponent and uses his strength to force him to the ground as Todd Fennell, also a senior comes to help him.

Head Coach, Doc Lewis always made sure that the Hawks were given fair treatment. The referee calmly listens to the coach tell him the way he thought the play should have been called. 40 Varsity Football What's this?Captain, Emily Warren, watches tenta- tively as Senior, Lesi Rodgers, demonstrates her idea of an effective cheerleading move. The Varsity Cheerleaders began the 1988-1989 season on quite a plesant note. Dur- ing the last week in June, the squad, along with advisor, Beth Warren, left J.C.C.A. to attend cheerleading camp at Columbia College. The week was a long, hot, and hectic one. Little did the cheerlead- ers know that all of the sweat- ing and practicing would pay off. The squad brought home a trophy for outstanding per- formance. Soon after arrival home from camp, the cheerleaders began practicing for the com- petition that was soon to be held during football Jambo- ree. At the Jamboree, the squad won third place for their superior performance to Brass Monkey. The Varsity Cheerleaders worked hard throughout the year. They were constantly do- ing something to help encour- age school spirit. Cheerlead- ers have to be willing to give up time that they could be us- ing to do something else. They had spent many long hours practicing, preparing for pep rallies, selling spirit rib- bons, painting spirit posters, staying after school to deco- rate their secret football play- ers' lockers, and most impor- tantly, the cheerleaders did their best to cheer the Hawks to victory. The Varsity Cheerleaders had an all around great squad. They cheered hard throughout football and bas- ketball season. Win or lose and rain or shine, the cheer- leaders were always there to give the Hawks support and to help encourage an increase in school spirit.

Their hard work at practice ev- eryday had paid off when the team finished with an overall record of 2-4. The J.V. Boys, who were coached by George Brittle and assisted by Jim Harmon, con- sisted of boys in grades six through ten. Having had many ninth and tenth graders, the team had a lot of experience. Their experience had been ev- ident by the way they per- formed on the field. The disappointing loss of the season was to Holly Hill. The team was really looking for a win because Coach Brit- tle had come to John C. from Holly Hill. The Hawks had played with enthusiasm throughout the game, but Hol- ly Hill prevailed 14-13. Over the course of the sea- son, the Junior Varsity boys had proved that they knew how to play competitive foot- ball. Many of the older players will take what they have learned up to the Varsity level next year, and the younger players will have the chance to gain the experience that they will need for Varsity.

ENDURES The Junior Varsity cheer- leaders had the spirit confi- dence, and determination that is necessary to be a great squad. Practicing long hours, staying after school to paint spirit posters, sell- ing ribbons, and selling pro- grams at Varsity football games showed the girls' dedication to being suc- cessful cheerleaders. There were only two members on the squad who had never cheered before. With the help and encour- agement of sponsor, Mrs. Sandy Tyler, and the re- maining girls, the two new- comers quickly became one of the group.'' The Junior Varsity cheer- leader's job did not end with cheering their team to victory. The squad felt it was their duty to be one an- other's friend. Being a suc- cessful squad came natu- rally to the girls because they had been together for many years. They carried their binding friendships with them throughout the year. It was not the least bit unusual to see them help- ing one another with per- sonal problems or for them to celebrate a friend's birth- day after practice. Having so much enthusiasm and being as close as these girls were, it is no surprise that they had such a great squad. - The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders smile with a feeling of relief and satisfaction knowing that they have successful- ly built a pyramid during their halftime show at a home football game. 46 J.V.

Trainers, managers, and bookkeepers stay hard at work filling water bottles, tap- ing ankles, and marking fouls. These people do not often get the recognition that they deserve, but they are definite- ly an essential part of a team, and it could not function with- out them. There is more ro a ream than Jusr the Players. Archie Murdaugh, a Freshman, was a manager for the Varsity Football team. He spent many long hours in the hot summer sun with the team filling water bottles and doing other vari- ous jobs. T§ Beth Gaskin, a Junior, enjoys keeping the books for the J.V. and Varsity Girls' Basketball teams. She has to remain alert to the score, fouls, and who is in the game.

The Varsity Boys basketball team, who was coached by Dan- ny Parnell, worked very hard throughout the 1988-1989 sea- son and managed to finish with a 9-12 season. The team had a lot of work on their hands from the very beginning. All of the starters plus some other very good play- ers from last year had graduat- ed. The Varsity Boys had to com- pletely rebuild and to find a group that could perform well to- gether. The Hawks started the season with approximately fifteen play- ers and ended the season with only ten players. At the end of the season, there were four Sen- iors, five Juniors, and one Soph- omore. They lost many players for various reasons. Injuries were also constantly hampering the Hawks. Starter, Eric Bennett, had an ankle injury that kept him out for the majority of the sea- son. The Varsity Boys rode on a roller coaster throughout the season. They would win a few and then lose a few. However, many of the games they lost were within reach. They just lost them in the last few minutes of the game. The Hawks were very often out- sized by their opponents. This meant that they had to work ex- tra hard. The team used their ex- perience, speed, and sheer de- sire to their advantage. They had many talented players and were the Varsity Boys definitely had their ups and downs, but all in all, it was a good season.

The team consisted of twelve girls. There were four Seniors, two Juniors, three Sopho- mores, and three freshmen. The team was coached by Danny Parnell. From the very beginning of the season to the very last game, the girls were de- termined that they were not gonna' take it anymore. The Varsity Girls had earned a reputation for los- ing over the last couple of years. They had to struggle for every win that they got But the team this year was tired of carrying the losing reputation, and decided to change things. The season started off great for the Lady Hawks. They began with a five- game winning streak. The first loss was a very close one to Mims by a score of 25-28. The Varsity Girls lacked size but definitely had de- sire. They had to work hard and use their determination and hustle to give them the successful season that they had. The Lady Hawks proved that It's not what you got.

They finished first in the confer- ence and came in second place in the conference tournament. The Hawks did not have a lot of size, but they did have numerous returning players from last year. All of the returning members are tal- ented and played with a great deal of confidence because of their pre- vious years of experience together. The team started the season with fourteen players. They had seven sophomores, two freshmen, and five eighth graders. About half way J.V.

In fact, the cheerleaders have to work as hard or harder during basketball season. Each squad, the J.V. and the Varsity, must cheer for two consecutive games.

A WINNING ONE The Hawks learn rhar losing is cosrly. The Boy's Tennis team, who was coached by Diane Fishburne, had a great season last year. Finishing the regular season undefeated, they had the best record to be held by a boys' team in several years at J.C.C. Defeating teams such as Orangeburg Prep, Holly Hill, Fast Cooper, and Pat- rick Henry led the team to their 7-0 record and also to the conference title. The team lost to East Coo- per in the play-offs by a heart-breaking score of 5- 4.

With the exception of senior, Terry Jones, all of the members were freshmen or younger. They didn't let age bother them though. In the end, it def- initely proved not to be a disadvantage on talent. The team took all of the talent they had and made it work. The Golf team really surprised head coach. --- The --------- Bottom Urie Through It All The Varsity Boys' Base- ball team, coached by Doc Lewis and assisted by Mike Upchurch, has defi- nitely been through it all. Rain or shine, the Hawks were out on the field every afternoon working on their infield, outfield, and taking batting practice. All of the hard work paid off, for eight games, at least. Having an overall record of 8-8, the Hawks should have had a record like 13-3. They quickly learned that one point can prove to be cost- ly. The Hawks lost five games by only one point. There would be runners on base, eager to score, but the third out always seemed to come one batter too soon. Fortunately, for the Hawks, Thomas Heyward was the only team in their conference. Therefore, an automatic seat in the play- offs was available. Double elimination gave the Hawks two chances to get another win, but here again, they lost by only one point to Orangeburg Prep. The Hawks were then eliminat- ed with their second loss to Calvary by a score of 3-1. Lance Dennis, only a seventh grader, came up from J.V, to give the Hawks a boost with his superior batting.

They had a lot of talent and experience. Many of the games were within reach, but some tough breaks proved to be costly. The season started out slow, but the Hawks began a winning streak with a 12-3 win over Dorchester. The highlight of the season was their defeat of arch rival Orangeburg Prep. The Hawks lost 12-2 in Orange- burg, but at home they de- feated them 17-12. As Alli- son Hetties said, When it was time to play, everyone was psyched and we were ready to win. Unfortunately, a lot of en- thusiasm wasn't there when the Hawks played First Baptist in the state tournament. They sufFered a few bad breaks in the sixth inning and ended up losing 9-5. The season didn't end on a very high note, but the Hawks learned alot and had fun. Only a sophomore, power hitter, Susan Zeigler, rounds the bases and heads toward home plate to give the Hawks another point.

They were asking them- selves such questions as Where will I go to college?” What will I do for the rest of my life.” These serious questions were soon pushed aside for more immediate ones. What fun will we have?” What memo- ries will we make this year?” One of the many memories made was taking a trip to Fort Sumter and Charleston's fam- ous Market. IjjQJU UE EE EEEEEUUEtiJ These Seniors sit impatiently as they await the arrival at Tort Sum- ter. Michael Ritter, Lesi Rodgers and Wayne Crosby take a break after eating. 12 Seniors Emily Warren And Bert Reeves share some special memorable moments alone together at the Jr.- Sr. they will never forget. David Steedley and Brian Thomas seem to be enjoying their food greatly as they had so many choices to choose from in the Gourmetissare. Small in number but striving hard to succeed. These eight seniors are taking Calculus to help better prepare themselves for what is to be expected on college. Most people would think of just an- other class to attend but Wayne Crosby seems to really be enjoying his class in Computer. Seniors 73 JOHNNY JOSEPH EVANS JR.

Exactly what is a great year? It's months filled with wonderful, exciting, memorable events. A school year nine months of learning and fun along with hard work and, some- times disappointment. This great year of 1988-89 has brought us close friendships and sometimes even closer relation- ships with a special member of the opposite sex ' We have en- joyed many John C. events to- gether: the Halloween Carnival, Homecoming, athletic tourna- ments, Junior-Senior Prom — all the special times we have shared with our classmates. Sport events put our teams to the test. They had to spend their afternoons out on the athletic fields practicing their plays in football, baseball or softball. Or they were working on their fore- hand on the tennis courts, or practicing free throws in the gym. Some were even walking the course at the Country Club, practicing their golf swings. And at the same time, they had to find time to study. 2 Introduction These seventh and eighth graders social- What is this, Halloween in the spring?

Teachers call class time a time for structured learning, but we students know it's more than that. We had to leam also to grow up, to make the decision to leam, to accept the oppor- tunities the teachers put before us. We had to find out just who we are, and, more than that, who we are to become. Most importantly, we learned that learning is not a part-time job — that all those times we shared with our friends, our teachers, the staff, were times of education in all sorts of ways. While we were learning how to conju- gate verbs and to find the lowest com- mon denominator, we were learning how to live. In the pages that follow the reader can clearly see that the (1988-89 school year) was A Great Year. Mrs. Linder takes time out to talk to Mrs. Walker about her son's English grades. Nicole Ray, a yearbook photographer, works diligently after school on the next deadline. Introduction 3 7 “DAIf m utiay, tuum, and ---------ft---------- This year.

Heather Gahagan ----------------99------------------- Drew Brightwell diligently works on his math homework for the next day. The alarm clock rang con- tinuously, the feet hit the floor, and the body was up. This was going to be the be- ginning of ”A GREAT DAY . The student rose early or late as the case may have been for another day at John C. Cal- houn. Homeroom was a time for socializing and lunch orders to be placed. First period ar- rived and the day had really begun. After the changing of classes most students were fi- nally awake. Only a few more 1 , A Great Day Typical day at John C. is not much different from other schools. Everyone studies, jokes, and partici- pates in activities. John C„ however, has an advantage in that everyone is close and friendly. Kevin Beach classes were left before lunch. A little Geometry here and some English there took up the next few classes. The chance to pass that special note to that special person without being caught in Mrs. Linder's class was a challenge and so was the Literature test. The bell rang and it was off to lunch. After lunch, the day had al- most ended and the anxious students awaited the final bell. Finally it was time to go, and the mad dash to the lockers and cars was made. Wayne Crosby, a senior, slowly but surely get out of his car for another day of learning. It seems as if our photographer has taken Andy Blevins by surprise during his lunch break.

If 1 bomb a test it's even worse.” Allen Goehring John C. Calhoun could be best described as one big happy family in more ways than one. riot only was the re- lationship between the stu- dents and the teachers close and caring academically, but many teachers and students were actually related. Mothers and fathers taught sons and daughters, grandmothers taught grandchildren, and aunts and uncles abounded. These students felt uncom- fortable at times. The pres- sure to perform well came from both their home life and Family eaching my own children has been fun as well as in- teresting.

If their grades were not up to par they would hear about them both at home and school. If a good grade had been rewarded friends would badger them constantly. As far as the teach- ers were concerned, they sup- ported their kinsmen. Through the good and bad grades, the headaches and re- wards, that parental care could always be found.

Mrs. nancy Beach and her son, Kevin, take a few moments out of their busy day to visit with each other. Is this a family reunion? no, it's the Warren and Speaks clan. Both families are a part of our family. Can this be right? Mrs. Linder's grandson. Will Haynes, is almost as tall as she is. Mr. and Mrs. Qeorge Bnttle are a new addition to John C.'s happy family.

Kevin Litchfield The last bell of the day rings signalling Time Out, the most important part of the day for most students. Whether it was playing sports or the piano, students could always ex- press themselves. Some stu- dents spent their time in front of the television hoping for Reva and Josh to unite once again. Still others were palling around with friends or taking a short nap. Students also im- proved their ball changes and turns by taking dance lessons. The lower school students were involved in the exciting activities of scouting. Learning social skills and providing community services were only a few. While scouting was tak- ing place in the lower grades, the high school students were busy with after school jobs. Much time was also con- sumed talking on the phone with a special friend. Home- work was another item on the agenda of the day. This item always had to be done and that was a fact. Time Out When riicole Ray isn't busy with her studie she likes to brush up” on her piano skills. The yearbook photographers were able to take Ashley Biggers by surprise at a Varsity football game. Ashley is always there to support the team. x ' Vi The school Cub Scout group met regularly each month. This particular meeting was held for the parents and plans were discussed about the up- coming trip. Mrs. Corrine Brittle, a teacher at the school, also runs the after shcool pro- gram.

The styles of today were changing con- stantly throughout the year. Each person did their own thing rather than fol- lowing a trend. The some- times unusual dress be- came exciting and the contemporary look was in for some. All through the halls shorts, pants, and skirts he fads and fashions of today let each person be unique. Each per- son should dress like they want and like they mean it. Drew Brightwell could be seen. The ever popular Guess” jeans and the denim jacket were there along with plaid skirts and tops. Every once in awhile a smile with something extra was seen. The flash of brac- es. Hightops and skateboard attire were usually found in the lower and middle schools.

Boy Scout, Candy stripers, Walkathon, Library aids. Achievers, Project, 4-H club, helpers PECIAL All of John C, Calhoun's students this year were special from kindergarten to seniors, but certain kids stood out. Most people would assume they stood out because they excelled in academics or athletics but there was much more to them. They were special because they were interested in helping others.

Student Council was an organiza- tion made up of hard working students who perform duties for John C. and the Walterboro community. This out- standing group of four- teen students was cho- sen by their peers in class elections. The offi- cers were as follows: Ke- vin Beach, president; Al- len Goehring, vice- president; Allison Goehring, sec. — trea- surer; and Gary Brightwell faculty advi- sor. As usual, the student council had been respon- sible for Homecoming preparations. Thanksgiv- ing baskets for the needy, and a food drive for the S.P.C.A. Along with these activities, they were sponsoring a drug and alcohol education program and had met with the student council of Walterboro High school to exchange ideas and discuss future joint projects. 14, Student Council The officers of the 1988-89 Student Council are: Kevin Beach, presi- dent; Allen Goehring, vice-pres.; and Allison Goehring, sec.-treas.

Every grade has its own level of questions in English, Math, Sci- ence, Social Studies, and Current Events. Fourteen schools competed and out of the fourteen students in each grade five made it from the pre- liminaries to the finals. Tiger Martin won the twelfth grade compe- tion.

As usual, John C. had a fantastic Halloween Carnival with bingo, go fish , apple bobbing, and tic tac toe. The eighth grade class had a face painting boothe and the seniors sponsored a sponge toss. The main attraction, though, was the junior's Haunted House. It had many of your nightmares come true, including scenes with Jason , Freddy Kruger , and Vampires.

These stu- dents soon began to realize that they would no longer be the head of the school but young men and women heading out in the big world. As the tearful farewell was said by Amy Goehring, Valedictorian and Cindy Smith, Salutatorian, varied thoughts raced through their minds. Their hopes, dreams and their relief could be seen on their faces. They all knew each part of the unit would go his separate way — never to forget times shared with the unit — The Class of '89.

The Varsity cheerleaders form a perfect pyramid during their routine for the competition at the Jamboree. On August nineteenth JCC hosted a football Jamboree. Six teams and their cheerlead- ers came to participate. Each team played a twenty-five min- ute quarter. John C. played and defeated Patrick Henry 14- 0. The first touchdown was made by a pass from Cam Werntz to Asher Howell. Wayne Crosby got the two point conversion. Crosby also ran the ball in for the second touchdown. Our defense held Patrick Henry scoreless. There was also a cheerlead- ing competition. The Varsity cheerleaders did a dance to “Brass Monkey . They won third place in the competition, while Thomas Heyward won second, and Patrick Henry won first place. The Jamboree gave the Hawks a good start. It gave both the players and cheere- leaders confidence to begin the season. .K.', We opened the seasson as a team and not as a bunch of individuals. — J.J.

MY FAULT The Varsity Football team had a frustrating season. The Hawk's overall record of 2-7 did not reflect their actual performance throughout the season. The Hawks along with head coach. Doc Lewis, and all of the assistant coaches, began practicing in early August. A week long foot- ball camp was held at John C. to help improve the Hawks performance for the upcoming season. The Hawks got off to a good pre- season start. They played impressively in scrimages against Holly Hill and Coun- try Day. The Hawks also de- feated Patrick Henry 14-0 in the Jamboree. The Varsity Football team started the 1988 season with a loss in double over- time, 26-19, to Clarendon Hall, who at the time was ranked Ho. 1 among SC1SA independent teams. In their second outing, the Hawks barely defeated Roy Hud- gens 7-6 to gain their first win. After the second game of the season, the Hawks fell into a slump. It was not really anoyone's fault. Inju- ries and illnesses were con- stantly hampering the Hawks. Key players were in- jured at various times throughout the season. Due to these inuries, many young and unexperienced players were often in the game. The Hawks had a fairly strong defense, but they were just not able to pro- duce offensively. It was a strange situation, because basically the same players who played on the offense also played on the defense. Despite the losses, the Hawks never gave up. They gave their all throughout the season, but they just could not put it together. The Hawks always held their heads high. Rain or shine, they were on the field practicing everyday. A team with that sort of attitude de- serves to be respected.

The Varsity Cheerleaders began the 1988-1989 season on quite a plesant note. Dur- ing the last week in June, the squad, along with advisor, Beth Warren, left J.C.C.A. to attend cheerleading camp at Columbia College. The week was a long, hot, and hectic one. Little did the cheerlead- ers know that all of the sweat- ing and practicing would pay off. The squad brought home a trophy for outstanding per- formance. Soon after arrival home from camp, the cheerleaders began practicing for the com- petition that was soon to be held during football Jambo- ree. At the Jamboree, the squad won third place for their superior performance to Brass Monkey. The Varsity Cheerleaders worked hard throughout the year. They were constantly do- ing something to help encour- age school spirit. Cheerlead- ers have to be willing to give up time that they could be us- ing to do something else. They had spent many long hours practicing, preparing for pep rallies, selling spirit rib- bons, painting spirit posters, staying after school to deco- rate their secret football play- ers' lockers, and most impor- tantly, the cheerleaders did their best to cheer the Hawks to victory. The Varsity Cheerleaders had an all around great squad. They cheered hard throughout football and bas- ketball season. Win or lose and rain or shine, the cheer- leaders were always there to give the Hawks support and to help encourage an increase in school spirit.

Their hard work at practice ev- eryday had paid off when the team finished with an overall record of 2-4. The J.V. Boys, who were coached by George Brittle and assisted by Jim Harmon, con- sisted of boys in grades six through ten. Having had many ninth and tenth graders, the team had a lot of experience. Their experience had been ev- ident by the way they per- formed on the field. The disappointing loss of the season was to Holly Hill. The team was really looking for a win because Coach Brit- tle had come to John C. from Holly Hill. The Hawks had played with enthusiasm throughout the game, but Hol- ly Hill prevailed 14-13. Over the course of the sea- son, the Junior Varsity boys had proved that they knew how to play competitive foot- ball. Many of the older players will take what they have learned up to the Varsity level next year, and the younger players will have the chance to gain the experience that they will need for Varsity.

Practicing long hours, staying after school to paint spirit posters, sell- ing ribbons, and selling pro- grams at Varsity football games showed the girls' dedication to being suc- cessful cheerleaders. There were only two members on the squad who had never cheered before. With the help and encour- agement of sponsor, Mrs. Sandy Tyler, and the re- maining girls, the two new- comers quickly became one of the group.'' The Junior Varsity cheer- leader's job did not end with cheering their team to victory. The squad felt it was their duty to be one an- other's friend. Being a suc- cessful squad came natu- rally to the girls because they had been together for many years. They carried their binding friendships with them throughout the year. It was not the least bit unusual to see them help- ing one another with per- sonal problems or for them to celebrate a friend's birth- day after practice. Having so much enthusiasm and being as close as these girls were, it is no surprise that they had such a great squad. - The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders smile with a feeling of relief and satisfaction knowing that they have successful- ly built a pyramid during their halftime show at a home football game. 46 J.V.

Trainers, managers, and bookkeepers stay hard at work filling water bottles, tap- ing ankles, and marking fouls. These people do not often get the recognition that they deserve, but they are definite- ly an essential part of a team, and it could not function with- out them. There is more ro a ream than Jusr the Players. Archie Murdaugh, a Freshman, was a manager for the Varsity Football team. He spent many long hours in the hot summer sun with the team filling water bottles and doing other vari- ous jobs. T§ Beth Gaskin, a Junior, enjoys keeping the books for the J.V. and Varsity Girls' Basketball teams. She has to remain alert to the score, fouls, and who is in the game.

He puts the ball up again with perfect form to give the Hawks another two points. The Varsity Boys basketball team, who was coached by Dan- ny Parnell, worked very hard throughout the 1988-1989 sea- son and managed to finish with a 9-12 season. The team had a lot of work on their hands from the very beginning. All of the starters plus some other very good play- ers from last year had graduat- ed. The Varsity Boys had to com- pletely rebuild and to find a group that could perform well to- gether. The Hawks started the season with approximately fifteen play- ers and ended the season with only ten players. At the end of the season, there were four Sen- iors, five Juniors, and one Soph- omore. They lost many players for various reasons. Injuries were also constantly hampering the Hawks. Starter, Eric Bennett, had an ankle injury that kept him out for the majority of the sea- son. The Varsity Boys rode on a roller coaster throughout the season. They would win a few and then lose a few. However, many of the games they lost were within reach. They just lost them in the last few minutes of the game. The Hawks were very often out- sized by their opponents. This meant that they had to work ex- tra hard. The team used their ex- perience, speed, and sheer de- sire to their advantage. They had many talented players and were the Varsity Boys definitely had their ups and downs, but all in all, it was a good season.

The team consisted of twelve girls. There were four Seniors, two Juniors, three Sopho- mores, and three freshmen. The team was coached by Danny Parnell. From the very beginning of the season to the very last game, the girls were de- termined that they were not gonna' take it anymore. The Varsity Girls had earned a reputation for los- ing over the last couple of years. They had to struggle for every win that they got But the team this year was tired of carrying the losing reputation, and decided to change things. The season started off great for the Lady Hawks. They began with a five- game winning streak. The first loss was a very close one to Mims by a score of 25-28. The Varsity Girls lacked size but definitely had de- sire. They had to work hard and use their determination and hustle to give them the successful season that they had. The Lady Hawks proved that It's not what you got. It's what you do with it ' The Varsity Girls definite- ly earned the respect that they were looking for. They never gave up, and they played their best right until the very end.

However, one loss did not get the Hawks down. They immedi- ately began another winning streak by defeating conference oppo- nents, Laurence Manning, First Baptist, and Jeff Davis. The team combined their speed, talent, aggressiveness, and team work together and made the sea- son a great one. The Bottom Urn The Junior Varsity Boys' basket- ball team definitely had a great 1988-1989 season. The team, who was coached by George Brittle, fin- ished with an overall record of 16-3 . They finished first in the confer- ence and came in second place in the conference tournament. The Hawks did not have a lot of size, but they did have numerous returning players from last year. All of the returning members are tal- ented and played with a great deal of confidence because of their pre- vious years of experience together. The team started the season with fourteen players. They had seven sophomores, two freshmen, and five eighth graders. About half way J.V.

In fact, the cheerleaders have to work as hard or harder during basketball season. Each squad, the J.V. and the Varsity, must cheer for two consecutive games. They always stuck with their team whether they were winning or losing. The cheerleaders are important in adding enthusiasm and boosting the overall school spirit between the students and the other fans. A SeniorLesi Rodgers, a Varsity Cheerleader, performs the cheer during a quarter change perfectly.

A WINNING ONE The Hawks learn rhar losing is cosrly. The Boy's Tennis team, who was coached by Diane Fishburne, had a great season last year. Finishing the regular season undefeated, they had the best record to be held by a boys' team in several years at J.C.C. Defeating teams such as Orangeburg Prep, Holly Hill, Fast Cooper, and Pat- rick Henry led the team to their 7-0 record and also to the conference title. The team lost to East Coo- per in the play-offs by a heart-breaking score of 5- 4. The team members were exchange students, Christian Seitz, and Carlos Cifuentes, Allen Goehr- ing, Reaves McLeod, Drew Brightwell, Griffin War- ren, Kenneth Greenwell, and Dan Dupree. Sophomore, Allen Goehring, reaches high to hit the ball with all his might hoping to score another point and to defeat his oppo- nent.

Golf team had a winning season. The team, which consisted of six members, was the youngest one ever in the school's history. With the exception of senior, Terry Jones, all of the members were freshmen or younger. They didn't let age bother them though. In the end, it def- initely proved not to be a disadvantage on talent. The team took all of the talent they had and made it work. The Golf team really surprised head coach. --- The --------- Bottom Urie Through It All The Varsity Boys' Base- ball team, coached by Doc Lewis and assisted by Mike Upchurch, has defi- nitely been through it all. Rain or shine, the Hawks were out on the field every afternoon working on their infield, outfield, and taking batting practice. All of the hard work paid off, for eight games, at least. Having an overall record of 8-8, the Hawks should have had a record like 13-3. They quickly learned that one point can prove to be cost- ly. The Hawks lost five games by only one point. There would be runners on base, eager to score, but the third out always seemed to come one batter too soon. Fortunately, for the Hawks, Thomas Heyward was the only team in their conference. Therefore, an automatic seat in the play- offs was available. Double elimination gave the Hawks two chances to get another win, but here again, they lost by only one point to Orangeburg Prep. The Hawks were then eliminat- ed with their second loss to Calvary by a score of 3-1. Lance Dennis, only a seventh grader, came up from J.V, to give the Hawks a boost with his superior batting.

They had a lot of talent and experience. Many of the games were within reach, but some tough breaks proved to be costly. The season started out slow, but the Hawks began a winning streak with a 12-3 win over Dorchester. The highlight of the season was their defeat of arch rival Orangeburg Prep. The Hawks lost 12-2 in Orange- burg, but at home they de- feated them 17-12. As Alli- son Hetties said, When it was time to play, everyone was psyched and we were ready to win. Unfortunately, a lot of en- thusiasm wasn't there when the Hawks played First Baptist in the state tournament. They sufFered a few bad breaks in the sixth inning and ended up losing 9-5. The season didn't end on a very high note, but the Hawks learned alot and had fun. Only a sophomore, power hitter, Susan Zeigler, rounds the bases and heads toward home plate to give the Hawks another point. Susan lead the Hawks offensively throughout the season with many homeruns in crucial situations. First baseman, Wendy Ulmer, a senior makes her long legs work to the team's advantage as she catches the ball just a fraction on a second before the opponent crosses the base. Tough Breaks And Bad Ludi Can Hurt 66 Softball Senior, Tracy Ulmer, is an important part of the team. She uses her superi- or pitching ability to help lead the Hawks to another victory.

The students learned about the voting and electing processes. The Bush and Quayle ticket won unanimous- ly among the kids. After Christmas the stu- dents learned to write in cur- sive. They also awaited the end of the year field trip. When asked what their fa- vorite class was, many com- mented P.E. while others said computer, no matter what the task was the second grade was able to handle and ac- complish it.

However, when the J.C.C.A. eighth grad- ers were tested, they scored above the average. The tenth graders also performed well. Locating countries, bodies of water, mountain ranges, and other geographical informa- tion is stressed at John C. Maps appear not only in geog- raphy class, but in history classes as well. Students real- ize that their understanding of geography is important in or- der to have a well rounded education. Mrs. Werntz conducts a lesson on maps. -----------11C Academics JLJL _J Mrs. Bazzle tries to ex- plain this problem to the eleventh grade Al- gebra class. Changing from Kin- dergarten teacher to Senior composition and ninth grade litera- ture teacher proves to be a real 'challenge ' Every year new faculty members are welcomed to John C. Calhoun. This year Mrs. Kitty Howell joined us and taught the fifth grade. Coach George Brittle taught P.E. to the lower school, history. Earth Sci- ence, and computer sci- ence. Mrs. Kate Davenport put all her energy into teaching the first grade. Mr. Christopher Goodrich taught the upper school math. Mrs. Lynn Bazzle was involved with teaching Al- gebra. With new teachers came new help. Mrs. Tina Mitchell helped with the Kindergar- ten class five days a week. Mrs. Sandy Tylor also helped with the lower school P.E. and also with the first grade. Many differ- ent mothers also gave their time to help teach comput- er classes to grades K — 5. 16 Academics Changes were always tak- ing place on the John C. staff, Mrs. Hagood had changed her role this year. She moved from teaching the kindergarten to teach- ing English and composi- tion. Mrs, Hagood enjoyed the changes and new expe- riences. She hopes to re- main at this level for some time. Part-time teachers also played and intergral role at John C. For example, Mrs. Mimi Wemtz gave up one hour each day to teach world history. Mrs. Peggy Smoak, another part-tim- er”, was here until fourth period. Mrs. Betsy Moody taught sixth and seventh grade science two periods every day. The students at John C. hope to keep this wonderful staff. They appreciated all the effort to help them. Academics 117 Heather Gahagan and Umesh Patel realize that chemistry is an important part of the SAT. In Mrs. Grif- fith's class they both work on chemical formulas. Junior, Ted Persky, works a pre-calculus problem on the board. Square roots can be the root of all evil — es- pecially without a calcula- tor. Duke Talent Search selects seventh grade students with high aca- demic marks to take the SAT. Amy Carter, Jason Strickland, and Walter Fralix were chosen. Mr. Goodrich works a math problem with Kim Strickland and Tara Ulmer — as an M.E. major from Clemson, Mr. Goodrich is well aware of the importance of the SAT's. 118; Academics Test Taking A Challenge The time for account- ability has come when Scholastic Aptitude Test and Preliminary SAT are taken by John C, sopho- mores, juniors and sen- iors. These tests reflect accumulated knowledge and predict college suc- cess. These tests are the pay-off for years of hard work. Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Linder helped students during after school hours to prepare for the Big Day”, Juniors and Sen- iors who took the course learned the SAT consist- ed of two major parts. The SAT is a necessary evil for our students Betty Goehring Verbal and Quantitative. The Verbal con- sisted of analogies, antonyms, sentence completion, and reading comprehension. The Quantitative section dealt with math, basically Geometry and Algebra II. One part of the SAT does not count toward total score, that is the Test for Standard Written English which compares each students' score on English skills to that of other stu- dents across the country. A special thanks goes to these two dedi- cated educators who help us re- alize we are living in the Age of Testing,” This year the Duke Talent Search chose three students; Amy Carter, Walter Fralix, and Jason Strickland. This program seeks gifted students that score in the top three percent in the nation on achievement tests. These students will take the SAT and test their ability to do math and their skill on vocabulary. The reason for this test is to show these young students their full potential. According to senior, Amy Gen- try, If you haven't studied your vocabulary through the years — you're lost — yes, there's no hope. Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Linder look over the SAT booklet to figure out what questions need to be asked at the after school session, The seniors are taking a vocabulary test for Mrs. Linder. Vocabulary is a part of the SAT and is pushed hard in all of Mrs. Linder's classes. Academics 11Q An Exciting Place Our school library is a cen- ter of learning activities. The library is constantly busy with many activities being offered. Mrs. Brightwell, our school li- brarian, directs study from books, films, and lectures. She conducts contests and encourages independent work. John C. faculty members meet in the library at least twice a month to discuss new ideas and school problems. Cheerleaders, board mem- bers, the Student Council, Booster Club members. It Attempts To Serve Everyone Gary Brightwell P.T.O. committees, and other groups use the library for a meeting room. The library is full of many people most of the school day. Students meet to talk about upcoming assignments, homework that is due, and to find out the new gossip. If it gets to noisy, Mrs. Brightwell is always there to quiet things down. The lower school also is centered around the li- brary. Here they come to choose what books they would like to read. Also, they watch many educa- tional films. Mrs. Brightwell does a good job making every- one feel welcome. She teaches students how to use the card catalog. She continues the Birthday Book of the Month Club where students donate a special book to the li- brary with their name and birthdate listed in the book. Thanks to Mrs. Brightwell, John C. li- brary is a well organized and enjoyable place. Edward Oswald and Ash- er Howell are taking votes for mock election day. These sophomores are taking a break from do- ing homework to talk about the gossip. 120 Academics Michell Jones and Michell Woo- dard spend their free time help- ing Mrs. Brightwell in the li- brary. Mrs. Kitty Howell and Mrs. Gail Howell talk over new ideas at a teachers meeting. Mrs. Brightwell slowly places the reel on the projector so she may show a film. Academics 121 Warm, caring, patient, loyal, understanding — These words can be used to describe our friend. Me is always there to lend a helping hand. His smile is contagious. Although he has been at the Academy for only five years, we feel that we have Known him for a life- time. He helps the campus look spify and the canteen smelling spicy. If these jobs are not enough, he serves as the girl's softball coach and helps with J.V. football. He shares his loyalty, car- ing, and pride with the stu- dents and faculty at J.C.C.A. It is with much love and appreci- ation that the yearbook staff proudly dedicates the 1989 TALOH to our friend Mr. Jim Hannon. 122 Dedication Always busy fixing things, Mr. Harmon goes to fix the lights.
