Camdeit $• Y liime 12 - Bet that when you made that funny face you didn't think it would end up here for all the world to see. That's what this year is all about. The focus is on you. You are in the spotlight. You provide the scene, tone, and action of our story of Joseph Kershaw Academy. It is built for you to grow with you. 2 WOh e r Currerv ov ovr-ow TELY of our continuing story is unique and important.

Search for Tomorrow . . . The Young and The Restless Days of our Lives..... 55 Class of '76 We watched them. For twelve years, we watched them ... As these our friends headed off to school coming home telling us what a terrible, terrific place this “school was Then on May 28, we watched again. This time seeing our friends who had grown, who had become responsible, who had matured into young adults during these twelve years at school. Parents beamed, graduates grinned, and grand- mothers gazed lovingly at heads that no longer sported crew-cuts or cowlicks. There were tears of joy and tears of sad- ness. They had done it! They had grad- uated! . . . And soon, we will, too. 12 R Honors GRADUATION HONORS Valedictorian- Niki Beleos Salutatorian- Beth Lamar Savage D avis A wards: Philosophy- Kay Watkins Literature- Kim Fitzgerald Science- Beth Lamar Groat Cup- Margaret Rabon Michael Sheheen Service Award- Mrs. McKinney Francis Byrd Smith Award- Marsha Gale Newton C.

But the story's history is special -- special because it has originated and been guided by people who care a- bout how it turns out; people who are working to see that it becomes what it dreams to be. Among these are Mr. and Mrs. Dan Lovett . . . both of whom have filled prominent posts and exerted tremendous influence in our school. In their own words: 1 'We see that J.K. A. fills a need in this area because we see the quality of education the children are getting.'' ' 'Any time the school has any kind of crisis, that's the very time that all the parents pull together; they want the school; they love the school; and they get to work. The students love the school. We have one of the most dedicated faculties possible. Joseph Kershaw Academy has a bright future.'' Because of people like the Lovetts, the dream is coming true. 14 I like my job. Mr. Zemp And now ... we go behind the scenes for some off-the-camera, candid interviews with the cast of ' 'The Guiding Light.'' The first character we interview is Mr. Lachicotte Zemp, who recently assumed the role of J.K. A. 's headmaster. Mr. Zemp: At J.K.A., the students have impressed me most. Their values are right and basically they are looking at things in the right manner.1' 1 'Probably the best quality of the school is the relationship between students and teachers. There's a very healthy respect on both sides. We're limited to some extent because of our size, lack of money, and limited course offerings. On the other hand, it's great because there are so many things a school this size can do. 1 like my job. 1 like the activity of it, the variety, and the feeling that the school is growing and improving and that 1 can help.'' Mr. Hunkier, assistant headmaster, anatomy teacher, and coach: It's been a real challenge over the summer with my change of job. It means more responsibilities in the total aspect of school. 1 feel this is a step toward my future-the involvement as assistant headmaster here at school. I've found that 1 like Camden, and in five years, 1 hope to still be in Camden and working in the educational field in one way or another. There's no doubt in my mind that J.K.A. has survived an awful lot of derogatory happenings, and 1 can see nothing but a bigger and brighter future for the school.'' Mr. David Ziemke, Board Chairman: 1 'The Board of Trustees conducts the management and administration of the academy, and also delegates operating authority to the headmaster. The nine Board members for the 1976-1977 School year are: David Ziemke-Chairman, Edward Royall-Vice- Chairman, Dr. M.L. Mays-Secretary, Joseph Swearingen-Treasurer, H.B. Marshall, Dr. Kenneth Carson, Dale Thiel, Geoffrey Groat, and Philip Minges. J.K.A.'s future is optimistic. The Board is committed to put and keep the school on a sound financial basis. Under the guidance of our exceptional headmaster, Lachicotte Zemp, and the continued election of Trustees, the school should proceed and progress.'' Mr. Williams Mr. Andrew Williams, custodian: I like everything about the school this year. I think it is well set up. The students and the headmaster are very nice and enthusiastic. They are just wonderful.11 Mrs. Ann Blalock, secretary: 1 'The students' qualities make the atmosphere nice. 1 like the way everybody knows each other and becomes friends. Mr. Zemp is a very pleasant man to work with. He is well organized, runs things smoothly, and I think he will help the school a lot. 17 Parents' Panel S v c) 3V vfi )M(5W | l 1 ' ? : Mr. Barney Ransom, PTO President: The PTO is an organi- zation of parents and teachers whose aim is to promote better understanding between parents, faculty, and students. Our pri- mary purpose is to raise money for the school. Last year, we sponsored a horse show, the annual spring auction, various suppers, an oys- ter roast, and a Disneyworld raf- fle. We contributed about $9,000.00 to the school plus improved playground equipment. This year we inaugurated a new fund-raising event, Bingo. It has proved to be very successful. We also sponsored the annual spring sale. Meeting of the Parent Teacher Organization X ■ cn®, d Mrs. Don Campbell, Parents' Panel Chairman: The JKA Parents' Panel has been organized to answer a need for better communication and public re- lations between parents and school. Informal group discussions allow the Panel members an insight into parental viewpoints, reactions, and problems. Members also learn the background for decisions made by the staff, faculty, and Board. 18 Keep working for perfection — Mrs. Upchurch Mrs. Florence Blackwell, fourth grade teacher: This year, I like the calmness of the school and the good friendship we have among everyone. I love children, and teaching is just the greatest thing in my life! Mrs. Deborah Hollings, first grade teacher and librarian: I enjoy working with my students and helping them with the funda- mentals of school. They are enthu- siastic about everything! Mrs. Ann Upchurch, second grade teacher: I like teaching very much. 1 keep working at teaching and trying to touch the right key with each student. Every student is different, and the more you get to know them, I think you achieve better relationships. 5 c e  (5Vv «Wc)W 5Vy e«rfc i 5V «Xe) 3V«. Third grade teacher, Mrs. Kaye Pope: I like having a small class where I can teach independently. We regret that Mrs. Pope left us during the middle of the school year, but we were fortunate to have Mrs. Jackie Lovett take over the duties of teaching third grade. Mrs. Linda Erickson, kinder- garten teacher: Here at school, everyone knows each other. Everything is an impor- tant part, even kindergarten. In kindergarten, I think the most important thing for the children to learn is to like themselves and to feel that they are important and they can be a success in school. This way, they will like school and just do better. 19 Everyone will work together. Miss Mclnnis Mrs. Victoria Mathews, English teacher: Because of small classes, 1 am able to work with each student individually. I'd like to see the students think independently, realize that the teacher won't always be there, and that teachers are only human and they make mistakes.'' French teacher, Mrs. Catherine Kennedy: This year, 1 hope my students will have a better understanding of French, and will be able to communicate with a French person. The school is really in shape this year. We have a fantastic headmaster, who is all action in helping the school.'' Mr. Ted von Keller, history teacher: ' 'The thing that has impressed me most at J.K.A. is the relaxed, friendly manner of everyone at the school. 1 hope that this year my students will become more openminded and curious and learn new ideas and ways of doing things.'' 20 English teacher, Miss Sarah Jo Mclnnis: This year, 1 would like to see literature and drama come alive on all levels, 9-12. Here at J.K.A., 1 think everybody loves each other, and we've got the greatest students in the world. In the future, 1 would like to keep growing, and letting my students teach me more than I could ever teach them.11 History teacher, Mrs. Karen Miller: 1 '1 would like to establish a relationship between my students, so I can enjoy them, and they can enjoy my classroom. 1 hope the students will learn to gather information so that I can be a helpful guide and not a dispenser of facts.'' 21 — Mrs. Tyler I want to help somebody. Mrs. Sarah Paulling, math teacher: here at JKA, the students have to work for what they get. I believe this builds character and discipline. Because of the smallness, everyone here is extremely close. I want my students to love math; I'm trying to prepare them for col- lege . Math teacher, Miss Deborah Lynn: I think the good qualities of the school are the small classes and the fact that the administration is so close to the classroom. In my classes this year, I think the students have gotten a good background in a certain course, and I have tried to get them to the point where they don't hate math. In the future, I want to be doing more than classroom activities; I would like to become involved with Jk IB a Mrs. Paulling Typing teacher, Mrs. Sylvia Little: I've been at JKA for a long time. I helped start the school, and I love teaching. The school is a family-type thing. The students have a lot of enthusiasm and they love the school. Everybody cares for each other. As for my course, I hope my students now have a knowledge of the typewriter and will be able to use it for their own personal use. 22 Mrs. Catherine Tyler, sci- ence teacher: The friendliness and eagerness of the students to learn has impressed me. This year, in my classes, I hope I have taught everyone that the scientific way of thinking is something that can be applied to everyday life. In the future, if I'm not teaching, I would like to work with the environment in one way or another. Mrs. Candi Kekelis, physical education teacher: I feel the ma- jority of the students here demon- strate a loyalty for the school which is hard to find these days. They have a lot of enthusiasm and it makes my job easier when they enjoy participating in activities. I hope I can improve the physical education program here at JKA. Science teacher, Mrs. Joyce Matthews: The students are re- sponsible, motivated, and the parents seem concerned about the school. All age groups of students are together and it's so nice to see the little ones having some- thing to do with the older students. I don't want my students to think that science is something just out of the book. I want them to feel that it touches their every- day lives.

(Funny, after twelve years, you never learn.) Imagine going from a Sun Fun summer and colliding head-on with Mr. Hunkier's anatomy. IF we survived that clash, we had to muddle our way through the jungle of Miss Lynn's math and faced Mr. von Keller's vocabulary giants in the battle of history. If, by any stretch of the imagination, we STILL had a shred of life left, we were thrown in the bottom- less pit of Mr. Zemp's English course where we almost drowned. And we were SENIORS ! Everyone was supposed to do our bidding, (fat chance !) But we did have our own Senior Lounge, if one could find it in all the cigarette smoke. And raising all that money was worth our trip to the Bahamas! Remember... Get leg. .. By the way, how DO you keep your face so clear? .... They can't stop ALL of us ! ... Jer-r-r... Get drunk. . .Gimme a break. . .What can I say?. .., and thirty seniors that will never come again! 28 Ruth Hurst: I want to accomplish I some great task that will provide I me with deep personal satisfaction whether it be discovering a cure r filling an empty life with love. I want to enjoy life and help others enjoy it. Buttons Larkin: I see myself as sensitive and caring. The needs of others have always concerned Robert Rowan: I go through life wondering and evaluating all of the strange people about me. I ask myself if I should try to be- come popular with other people or just be myself. Buttons Larkin Robert Mama said ther'd be days like this. • . moans V.V. Rome gay. Bottom: Stacey listens as Ruth explains, So you see, my dear... 29 Nancy Horne: I have always W wanted to achieve something I great, yet I have no idea what it I is. I can only hope that I will ful- H fill my dreams and remain a loyal person whom people can trust. N Kay McKinney: My main goal in life is to please everyone with my music. I've always been reaching for the better things, but I've not yet been able to get a firm grasp on them. Mark Stokes: I am basically a natural person. I would rather take a walk through the woods during the fall or swim in a lake on a hot summer's day than attend a social gathering. Just get me with the outdoors and I will be happy. 30 Katherine Roberts: My personali- ties are reflected according to my mood. I may be reserved; outgo- ing; and sometimes snobbish. Generally, I try to be friendly to everyone, and I hope everyone finds me that way. Craig Massey: Part of me is not at all what people see. It keeps most people at a distance, mis- trusting their true motives, yet, at the same time, caring deeply about them. Dee Dee Risher: Life stretches out into the future as an ex- perience which will gradually reveal to me who, exactly, I am. I grow with my world, knowing that, if I follow closely enough, it will bring me to what I am and can be. 31 Bobby Griffin: I am an indivi- dual. I like to see myself as an easy going person who gets along with people. I feel fortunate to be who 1 am and I value my friendships. Marla Cribb: I am sorry that people have to look at the school-side of myself. I wish people could see me at the barn early in the morn- ing when yesterday is behind me and tomorrow has not yet begun. Zan Boykin: Sometimes I want to strive, achieve, really ac- complish something! I can day- dream about it for hours! But . . . then I think about how nice it would be away from all of the pressure with nothing to do but get to know myself and others. 32 Mary Lee Wooten: I like to look ahead and want to work today for what could be mine tomorrow. I take a great deal of pride in the things I do. And try to concentrate my talent on things that are most important to me. Allison Royal: I have both de- termination and drive, but I have feelings like other human beings although, sometimes it's difficult to show them. Being a determined person, I don't give up. I expect to suc- ceed and I know I will. Trey McCorkle: I see myself as the average person. I live in an average society in a small town. Billy Griffin: I think of myself as someone with limited emo- tion. I m full of self confidence Very individualized (I do what I want to). Kathy Hutchins: I know I m probably looked upon differently by friends and parents, etc., but I know that just comes naturally. I also feel I m not the person I really am some- times. Joey Chardukian: I try to get along the best I can, within reason. There has been a lack of application on my part. One day the right place for me will pop up and when it does I feel sure that I will recognize it. V Joey Chardukian Billy Griffin . v ’ ■ ■ i4. -. v.- r , . Kathy Hutchins TOP: Marla Cribb makes her feelings clear about Shakespeare. BOTTOM LEFT: Craig Massey - Well, What can you say? BOTTOM RIGHT: Buttons poses to the tune of Sophisticated Lady. 34 V.V. Kornegay: I really think that having a good true friend helps a lot. Friendship is some- thing I will look for. William Brannon: If life were a dream, I'd never wake up. Stacey Ziemke: I often find myself covering my true emo- tions in order to save em- barassment. Life, to me, seems to be one big front after another. People are afraid to let their feelings show. 35 Libby Campbell: On the whole I see myself as a relatively quiet person but I have learned to stand up for what I believe ... I have an open mind about things and have learned to control my actions. Cynthia Marsh: I hold within my life three things,-faith, hope, and love. Faith in that which I have never really seen, hope in that which I dream of seeing, and love, in everyone there is. Terry Ansley: In my life, I hope to add to society rather than take constantly. I have achieved my goals so far in life and hope to continue to do so. I know I am far from perfect, so I have a lot of improvement to look forward to.___________________________ 36 Danny Marshall: Life is some- thing beautiful and is not to be taken advantage of. Life should be treated carefully at all times. Life is precious. Karen Reynolds: I am a portion of never fading sunshine- created by my own beliefs; growing in my determination; forever climbing upward. My dreams are not just visions but portions of reality. Iam de- termined to achieve. Kim Fitzgerald: Iam unique. I am aware of life, of the secrets and harmony of the earth. God leads me, and together explore life . . . the beauty, love, and hurt in- volved, but Iam daring, learn- ing, open, free, and alone. TOP: Libby Campbell finds that being a secretary ain't easy. BOTTOM: Danny Marshall as the night of the round table. 37 Rhea McMahan: I direct my con- 1 duct in this world as one who, I being fully persuaded there is no I other, is resolved to make the best of this one. I John deLoach: Worry never made anyone great, so why should I worry? Amelia Wannamaker: All in all, I am an ordinary human being with many goals and many faults. Maybe someday we could all be one of those who stand out in the crowd. 38 = juniors------------ gg ahead on! , If you want to watch these big Juniors in action, you'd better look now, because you can't go home and watch it on T.V. Another reason to look quickly: there are only seven of them, although they seem like an army. With Chet, Beaver , for- ever hidden beneath his American Parts hat; Terry, the Bear , and his famous comments; Danny, Peck , who NEVER is quiet; and Robin, Binky , the basket- ball wonderwoman, how can you lose? And then, there are the various love affairs - Grainger and Catherine, Rosie and Elton John, Bryan and his not-so- secret admirers?). As they go ahead on through the year, we hope that the school will survive their onslaught. Actually, a reputable source said that they're a good bunch of kids, but we suspect that he was bribed. Whatever they are, they're tuff. (And that's a big 10-4, good buddy.) Danny Jolly Grainger Komegay I Robin Oates Chet Rush Bryan Carmichael T erry Downey Rosemary Hard we had homework? Our tenth graders are an involved bunch of students, getting into many, many activities. Virginia Ann, VAP , Mandy, Mativa , Cathe- rine, Quasar , and Mary composed nearly half of our varsity cheerleading squad; Jenifer and Michelle were both active on the Epaulet staff; and Donna, Doodle , Sweet Sue , Quasar , Kim and Michelle were a big part of our varsity basketball team. And Jay, Fitz , well, Jay's our only sophomore boy - so, give him a break! Well sophomores, just two more years!

Well, our freshman circus sure beats anything Barnum and Baily ever got up. Throughout the day, one is likely to be confronted with such chaos as: Who stole my . . . Ethyl is a pigmy . . . Has a cat got a tail? . . . Who's got windows this week? ... I won't be here 'cuz I'm goin' to a horseshow out of town . . . Zurn! . . . Everybody hide, here comes the camera! . . .

Every morning they're the first things that meet your eyes. They have invaded every institution in the school - clubs, sports, and even the high school bath- rooms! You find them in the gym, the locker rooms, the classrooms, the halls, and always, ALWAYS they are talking, talking; talking their mouths right off their faces! And rowdy? You walk into Mrs. Paulling's room at the end of the day and are met with a mad melee of arms and legs and books and pencils flying through the air - but then, when it's almost two-o'clock, what can you expect? the invaders 8ight Britt Ransom Janell Reames Pam Shiver Ann Smith Jeannie Strickland Bill Vereen 43 7even The victims 4 The seventh grade was overrun by fractions; besieged with literature, and pounded into the ground with I, me, he, she, you, and it, and crammed to capacity with South Carolina his- tory and life science. But they managed to come out with just as much— or, well, ALMOST as much sanity as they began with. And, believe it or not, quite a bit more intelligence. Of course it really wasn't as bad as it is made to sound; after all, teachers aren't pure barbarians. We even have it on the best authorities that occasionally they smiled and their faces didn't even crack! And somehow, when you are in seventh grade, you can make your fun, and they did.

They read MORE stories in reading class and learned MORE new vocabulary words than seemed possible to have done in one year. Elementary Science was poured into them by the liter, and they were all but buried in Old World History. But, although they might not want to admit it, they really did enjoy this year.

Now we change classes. , they boasted with triumphant little smirks all over their faces, and whenever we make hundreds in math we get bubble gum. Of course, the high-society life of a fifth grader has its consequences, such as having to write a book report EVERY MONTH. But, somehow they managed to pull through, and they lived happily ever after. 46 them basic fundermenuls 4our Renee Barfield Mia Beleos Sam Boykin Neil Burton Cameron Carson Mark Chickering Richard Corbett Chip Dixon v V ' 1 Richie Follette David Gadecki Karen Geddings Nettles Green Leslie Guy Laurel Hard Chip Howie Kelly McCloud Frances Smith Jeff Smoots Ashley Williams Charles Wilson What's it like to be a fourth grader? You gotta be able to throw a mean spitball, shoot rubberbands accurately from twenty paces, and perfect the hand is quicker than the eye trick with tacks. Then, you have to be able to assume the most angelic face at will. Occasionally you have to tackle these academic subjects - art, recess, music, P.E., lunch . . . But really, though, it can get pretty rough plowing your way through times tables, vocabulary, etc.; you know, those basic fundermenuls , as one little boy put it. 3hree goodbye fingerpaints!= Tracey Bench Megan Craig Donald Craven Brian Goode Tommy Granger Hank Kirkland :• msr 0b X S' Heather Kornegay Elizabeth Lewis Sally Rhett Vonda Kay Thompson . 4 Michael Truesdale The first thing Mrs. Lovett's third graders noticed about school this year was that it was WHOOOOLE lots harder than second grade. They learned how to read maps, and borrow in subtraction (only they call it renaming now) and studied basic grammar. Now you've got to admit, that's hard! But - our third graders had a lot of fun, too, in P.E., playing on the playground and taking field trips and things. Well, third graders of '77, if this year was hard, what's fourth grade gonna be like? Penny Dixon Karen Gardner Elizabeth Garity Jennifer Goff Laura Howell April Kennington Hilary Lynch Emily McKinney Brice McKoy Neil Rose A lyssa Stahl David Stanley Bryan Young Cindy Bradley Sonya Carraway Mike Cook Joel Corbett Did you know that balloons have holes in them even before you put them there? That was one of the big things our second graders learned this year. They also learned how to write in cursive, and how to tell time, and were introduced to multiplication and division, but of course none of these come near to being as important as learning about balloons and playing on the playground and drawing. As one little boy put it: It's electrifying It A i 1st =Mr. Zemp is CUTE! Fredda Acker Stephanie Blackman Stephanie Burton Jennifer Campbell Welsh Carson Joanna Conder William Clybum Carla Ford Collins Gibson Annie Hutchins Happy Long Allan Massebeau Rebie Mays Brodie McKoy Amy Price Pam Rogers Amanda Stahl Mary Wannamaker The excitement of: getting to stay till 2:00, like the big kids; going with the seniors to sit in Mr. vonKeller's room (even though some were scared of Mr. vonKeller, it was still exciting); finishing up spelling books and taking field trips to the fire station and the library . . . This is the life of a first grader. Some like to read, and some like to write and do math; all of them think that Mr. Zemp is CUTE. Now that they are full-fledged J.K. A. students, they take full advantage of the fact by attending all the high-school basketball games, but even they confess that, while they do watch the games some, Mostly (giggle), we just run around.11 =My hand has a headac Kitt Green Christa Higgenbotham Paige Huggins Brian Kirkland Georgia Komegay Jacquie Neal Geoffery Threatt Paige Tillman Steven Viskocil Shane Granger, if you don't stop tearing up our house, I- - I- - I'll MARRY you! '' (how threatening) ' 'Does this picture look like God? 1 know he has a beard and mustache.'' Such are the comments one is apt to hear coming from the kindergarten building. They had Christmas and Thanksgiving parties and at Halloween Witchie-Poo came to see them (the kindergarten will swear to you that it was just Mrs. Erickson dressed up, but don't believe them, we know better). They don't just clown around all day, though, they learned to count to 10 in Spanish and read and write a little and have perfected the art of coloring. In fact, some of them color so well and for so long that they complain: I've been coloring so long my hand has a headache '.

Aw, Ref! complains Bobby. 1 rri 56 Our boys succeeded this year in cap- turing Victory's heart throughout their Basketball season. She was often too nice, giving them 20 to 30 point wins. But, as, usual, spats occured, leaving them close to disaster with only a two to three point lead. Coach Hunkier tells of their feats in the following: The season started with a bang as the boy's proved they would be exciting by defeating two-time, class A champion Lawrence Manning, 68-59. With veterans Bobby and Billy Griffin, Mark Stokes, Grainger Kornegay and Phillip McCorkle, blended with new comers Robert Rowan and Terry Ansley, the Generals captured their own Christmas Tournament defeat- ing Byrdtown Academy, 72-60. Terry Ansley was named Most Valuable Player. However, they finished second in the Wilson Hall Christmas Tournament losing to a highly talented Wilson Hall 53-44 in the finals with Terry Ansley, Robert Rowan, and Billy Griffin all making the tourney team. The team's trademark was agressive defense and excellent shooting. Free throw shooting was around 70% as a team while field goal shooting was 40%--ex- cellent for high school basketball. The General's region is tough with Richard Winn, Bates, and Catawba all sporting excellent teams. J.K.A., ranked sixth in the state, is hoping with experience and depth they will be able to advance through their tournament and into the state tournament. Undoubtedly, this will be remembered as one of the top teams J.K.A. has ever had. John prepares to sink it ■■ i r ' . ' ‘ V ' L. to R. - Grainger Kornegay.

Girls pull out VERY Successful Season! ach Hun A kler [ENERH RRt LO K N □□D Kim Fitzgerald de.m jjstrates the proper way to 1125 leg muscles. This year the Varsity Girls were faced with tough practice sessions; a new and suc- cessful aspect of man to man defense (or is it woman to woman?); and common and unavoidable phrases such as fast break , on the line , and grab a jumprope . However, there was always time for play. Cute cuts of Paperbag , Linda , and Fluff supplied the team with spirit and enthusiasm; and this enthusiasm along with dreams of the State Finals helped push the girls through a long hard season. Highlights of the season started off with a Boom when the team beat Lawrence Manning, who were runners-up in the state last year. Probably the best game was against Richard Winn, our rivals. Out for blood, our girls beat the team, from whom they had suffered defeat for five years. Hustling for the Conference title, the girls rallied some close games with Catawba, and were rewarded by achieving the title. A few words must be said about Captain Karen Reynolds, who has given her fans a tremendous display of her talents. She holds a record of six years and approximately twelve hundred points in Varsity Girls Bas- ketball. Congratulations to all crew mem- bers; Robin Binki Oates, Kim Fitz- gerald, Laurie Minges, Kim Carson, Rosemary Hard, Catherine Swearing- en, Michelle Hard, Sue Marsh, and Donna Parker. You all have contrib- uted to a successful and competitive team.

Top row: Rosemary Hard, Karen Reynolds, Kim Fitzgerald, and Laurie Minges. Reynold's Runts Our Junior Varsity boys were directed in their play this year by Rollie Reynolds. However, our boys were handicapped by one aspect—height. Coach Hunkier sums up the situation in the fol- lowing manner: Playing much bigger teams in a difficult sche- dule could only help these young- sters in the future and their time will come when Reynold's Runts will be able to dish it out. After all; it's the big guys that take the hard falls. «TMU KNEELING L. to R. - Dee Bo Baxley,'Philip Reames, Richard Minges, Jack Zemp, Gordon Chickering, and Paco Olano.

Not pictured are Laure Ohlemacher and Pam Shiver. Will it go? worries Kathy Carson. This year our team struggled through a season facing bigger, older, and sometimes better teams. Our Junior Varsity faced these disadvantages with their great enthusiasm overcoming the factor of little experience. Stressing fundamentals and waiting for the growth spurt the J.V. s anxiously pre- pared for next year. This bright fu- ture is even more probably because only two ninth graders played their last J.V. season. Hunkler's Is ballet included in basketball? Hoopers'' ©©@@CP ira©V@i OKI — - With the enthusiasm and know-how from one of our newest directors, Teddy von Keller, soccer successfully ran football right off of the field and out of the spot- light during this year's fall sports' season. Soccer calls for a great amount of partici- pation and involvement which many of the students were willing to give. Un- fortunately, we were only able to pull out a 0-4 record during our short season. How- ever, the achievements and experience which the students obtained were more important than the scoreboard. Coach von Keller accurately sums up soccer's future, The soccer players have good roots for a really great team and gave acquired skills for a successful future.11 62 Varsity Boys Basketball JKA 63 Alumni 48 JKA 68 Lawrence Manning 59 JKA 66 Thomas Sumter 53 JKA 71 Heathwood Hall 55 JKA 68 Thomas Sumter 48 JKA 44 Wilson Hall 53 JKA 56 Christian 23 JKA 75 Union 39 JKA 72 Byrnes 49 JKA 72 Byrdtown 60 JKA 55 Bates 52 JKA 54 Richard Winn 50 JKA 92 Christian 47 JKA 73 Byrdtown 57 JKA 74 Heathwood Hall 60 JKA 48 Thomas Sumter 35 JKA 53 Catawba 45 JKA 65 Bates 43 JKA 65 Emanuel Baptist 32 JKA 56 Union 29 JKA 64 Richard Winn 59 JKA Lawrence Manning JKA Catawba Varsity Girls Basketball JKA 51 Lawrence Manning 34 JKA 37 Thomas Sumter 43 JKA 55 Heathwood Hall 26 JKA 37 Wilson Hall 53 JKA 51 Christian 43 JKA 46 Byrnes 54 JKA 52 Byrdtown 10 JKA 38 Bates 34 JKA 57 Richard Winn 47 JKA 46 Christian 29 JKA 57 Byrdtown 8 JKA 67 Heathwood Hall 34 JKA 32 Thomas Sumter 28 JKA 44 Catawba 42 JKA 28 Bates 16 JKA 54 Emanuel Baptist 27 JKA 43 Richard Winn 40 JKA Lawrence Manning JKA Catawba Spring Sports Schedule March 11 Softball Hudgens away March 16 Softball TSA home March 18 Girls Tennis Wilson Hall away March 21 Softball Wilson Hall home March 28 Softball REL home March 28 Golf REL Wilson Hall away March 30 Softball Hammond away March 30 Tennis Wilson Hall home March 31 Tennis REL away April 11 Softball Hammond home April 11 T ennis Hammond away April 13 Softball TSA away April 14 Softball Hudgens home April 15 Softball Wilson Hall away April 18 Softball REL away April 20 Tennis Hammond home April 21 Tennis REL home April 21 Golf REL Wilson Hall away April 25 Golf TSA home April 28 Golf TSA away May 3 Golf REL Wilson Hall home May 5-7 STATE TENNIS TOURNAMENT May 9-10 STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT Our heroines! The cheerleaders fight tension with spirit. Once again the heroines of our school - - the Varsity Cheer- leaders -- have instilled enthusi- asm, spirit, and fun in nearly ev- ery Varsity Basketball fan. Some of the activities the Cheerleaders used to promote this spirit were the 50's Day, the Leg's contest, the Spirit Stick, and the Coloring contest. Our heroines have also taken upon themselves the trials of Homecoming. Under the efficient old- hat organizers: captain, V.V. Komegay and co-captain Libby Campbell the crew ran smoothly. Virginia Ann Pitsenbarger and V.V. supplied the backbone of the volume while Kim Fitzgerald and Kay McKinney showed the crowd a few splits and tumbles for variety. Rosemary Hard was always 1 'go get um'' with Mary Richards just look'in plain old cute in her uniform. And remember Mandy and Catherine almost knocking us down with their dazzling smiles (funny I can't, but they sure did always look pretty.) We must remember none of this vim and vigor would have been maintained without their fantastic friend, critic, and sponsor, Debra Hollings.

Rosemary Hard is not pictured. 65 Although they are small in stature, the Junior Varsity cheer- leaders make a whole lot of noise (in more ways than one!) There are six new girls on the squad this year, but hard work and enthusiasm have more than made up for their in- experience. They wear themselves out cheering at the J. V. girls and boys basketball games. And, boy, it takes enthusiasm to sell SEAT CUSHIONS! At any rate, being a J.V. cheerleader is not easy- just ask their saddle oxfords. J.V. Cheerleaders Members of the squad are Laurie Minges, captain; Jeannie Strickland, co-captain; Rochella Ragon; Susan Campbell; Kathy Carson; Jo Ellen Howie; Laura Thiel; and Susan Ged- dings. r w Left to right: Rochella Rabon, Jeannie Strickland, Jo Ellen Howie, Susan Campbell, Laura Thiel, Laurie Minges, and Kathy Carson. 66 Who'd You Say That Was?! And who are the mystery charac- ters who fill onr gym cabinets, clothe our team with uniforms, and inject that thrilling spirit into our systems? Who are these people who lay low, work hard, and can be heard yelling at every game? Whoever they are they have really used their noodles this year: accomplishing feats such as stretching spaghetti to feed hordes of hungry pasta slurpers at the annual spaghetti supper to stretching dollars for buying needed athletic equipment for their kids Mr. Hilton Reynolds explains— We help to promote and assist the athletic program of the school. One of our main objectives is to build school spirit— the answer THE GENERAL'S CLUB. 67 Student Council dabbles in 68 Student Council is work, and long hours of it. It means duties which must be fulfilled as expected, every day, dance, holiday, and end of the year. But the real purpose of Student Council is to get students out of that rut of school and the daily routine. They want to generate enthusiasm and work it into hard to come by ideas — when this is achieved, EVERYTHING, all of the work, even cleaning out the hotdog machine, seems worthwhile. Our president, Dee Dee Risher, puts it in her words: We have a good Student Council compared to most, but it needs to be more — not a group that meets on Thursday nights, makes a lot of money, has dances, gives presents, and then bows out. Those activities are good, but a Student Council should lead and unify the school. I want to see us do that -- I don't want us to be a typical Student Council. The struggle of MSSC The youngest finan- cial experts of our school STRUGGLING to be greatly successful in the leadership of their peers: Middle School Student Council. How could they miss with the serious out- look of Meg Clark and the crazy antics of Bill Vereen? Some feats they accomplished were the Childcrafts for our li- brary and a fun Sock Hop. And without the unpredictable, ever fall- ing apart School Store, ' could we have survived? (Of course, none of this could have been done without their sponsor, Vonsy '. ) 69 Beta Club An inspiring organization comp of the intellectual elite of our sch dealing with the philosophical side life probing into the depths of try t'be smart .

Kornegay, Treasurer. 71 (organ chord) When vve last left off, you should have never turned us back on, but you've missed your chance. . .so, to update you on our story: It all started when thirteen stupid people decided they wanted to produce a yearbook and trapped Mrs. Kennedy into being their advisor, a diabolical act. They proceeded to workshops to learn how to do an annual and felt quite compe- tent, knowing that they would produce the best book ever! Then (drum rolls).. . disaster struck! (Wham) The first dead- line was here, and nothing was done. (These things always creep up.) Cynthia and Dee Dee tried some ideas . Dee Dee: Cynthia, I have a great idea! Cynthia: '1 don't like it! Maria: That's tacky and gross. Marguerite: (from the corner) Sneer! Zan: (trotting in in warm- ups) Hyabunga! Michelle (the fog): does- n't hear; she's drawing layouts. Jenifer: I think that's a tootie idea! Ruth: Never mind that! WHERE are my ad pic- tures? Lisa: (who has been jump- ing up and down while drawing on the board), Ask Amelia. Amelia: Ask Kathy. Kathy: Ask Glenn. Glenn: Ask Robert. Robert: Ask Amelia. Mrs. Kennedy: (cleaning up) This room is a mess! Now you see why we never get anything done? We got through the first deadline, though, and the second one was the killer. . . .It was a cold, rainy night, and the an- nual staff members were the only people in the dark, lonely school building (scary music). There was a knock on the door (KNOCK! KNOCK!). Jenifer opened it (squeak!). It was the police! (What were they doing here?) Stay tuned to the next page for the answers to these questions, and more, (organ chord) Ohmigosh! I think I mfcpla $3000. 72 (organ chord)-When we last left off, the police were at the door. Someone called and said to check on you, They said. Who called!? Dee Dee thought Mr. Zemp did, and called him at 12:30 to reassure him, only to find out he hadn't called, but when he found we were still at school, he came and ran us home, (thank goodness). But our prob- lems were not over (sigh).. .It was a clear afternoon which held no hint of the horrors ahead: Amelia: The negatives didn't come out. Cynthia: Don't worry about it- anybody can make a mistake. (some time later) Amelia: Cynthia, six rolls haven't come out. Cynthia: Worry about it! Distraught, we called Buzz (where IS he when you need him) and Molly Nettles, and told them of our problems (BOO HOO)! We solved the problem (cheer) and almost got our pages in on time, (remarkable) And that is how our story goes... on and on. Stay tuned next year for more annual staff esca- pades---laugh with us; cry with us; and remem- ber the Year to Remember. We would offer a word from our sponsor, but she is incapaci- tated due to nervous breakdown. 73 The juniors had finally found it! The tropical setting and the sound track were perfect. Well of course you have seen Mr. Langford's pictures. It was last year's beautiful Hawaiian Jr.-Sr. The cast of seniors and their dates was drawn into the romantic atmosphere by the music of Brookwood Station. That's A Gym? m' Dee Dee! I can't believe you spilt the orange paint right in the middle of the ocean. V. V., Buttons, and Amelia are sick of cleaning out pineapples. Allison ordered ORCHIDS, 200 of them! Quick! It's the police, hide the saw- dust. Stop the truck, we dropped palm fronds on Knight's Hill Road. Announcing ... A First! The original seven — the first students who are uniquely OURS! From first through twelfth grade they travelled. For twelve strong and struggling years, they stuck it out. We would like to recognize the Magnificent Seven: Cynthia Marsh, Amelia Wannamaker, Zan Boykin, V.V. Kornegay, Allison Royall, Danny Marshall and Buttons Larkin.

(LOSS 1 )COCOCOCOcOCOC GOCOCCCOC We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin — Jimmy Carter Is President! One of Carter s most greatly talked about view was his stand on foreign policy. He openly criticized the secrecy and made further comments on Kissinger s domination. Carter believed in less spending and more efficient military. A main issue which brought many votes to Carter was economics. He greatly critiziced Ford for his lack of concern and inability to provide jobs. This, Carter stated, was his number one policy. Ford campaigned against Jimmy's main weakspot, his inexperience, especially in foreign policy. Ford constantly played up the trust, confidence, and sta- bility he restored. He defended himself by explaining his slow, cautious recovery in economics, also adding that he disagreed with any cuts in military. Ford harped on Carter's large amount of govern- ment spendings. He said that now was a time for less government spending, not more. )COC3( Beauties Or Beasts?

Allisoi 80 As aJ.V. cheerleader, Susan helped to coax bas- ketball fans into cheers with stunning smiles. Being such a gooding lookin' chick she mag- netized the male support right into the stands. Fair little Mandy has also lent her looks to cheer- leading, and specialized in charming varsity fans. Outside of school, one was never surprised to see her feminine form riding a horse down Ancrum Road. Everything was perfect in the setting: Dorothy, the Tin man, the scarecrow! The atmosphere hung with excitement as the prospective stars filed through on the stage, each one portraying her perfect self. The climax of who she— the Star -- was going to be was gradually built up by music and songs of Lloyd Brewer and David Williams. Finally, after a little comic relief by Theodore von Keller, she was revealed along with her beautiful supporting stars. Allison Royall was given the leading part as Miss Epaulet with Miss Senior as Cynthia Marsh. Miss Sophomore was Mandy Marshall and Susan Camp- bell filled the part of Miss Freshman. The greater part of pretty Cynthia's school days were spent crying, laugh- ing, and editing in the annual staff room. Other than Jimmy, her extracurricular activities ranged from eating to attending church. 81 The Colonial Cup can easily be termed the largest cocktail party in the world. Everything is taken to the hilt: foreign horses to race on our course, a huge smorgasbord for every car, everyone carries a drink, and up- to-date fashions galore. Thanksgiving started this year with a big gobble (from Tommy Turkey of course). Our Thanksgiving program featured many dramatic feats from the kindergarten and first grade. We learned how turkeys got their tail feathers and even enjoyed a tal- ented piano playing of My Country 'Tis of Thee. Rev. Gerald Harris, a guest speaker, also taught us about the strengths of Geritol from his witty jokes. But, all in all, everyone left school very pleased with themselves and ready to put away some turkey and dressing. One could call Christmas this year a nut- crackin' success. It's the time of year when the child in everyone surfaces, and everything one sees is clothed in a special kind of wonder. Our school could not help but reflect this spirit. As the week of Christmas approached, the students became more and more restless thinking of the holidays and parties ahead. Al- most every organization got into the Christmas spirit- Nike Club collected toys and food for the needy; Student Council collected money for presents for our hardworking administration; and basketball teams began thinking about the Christmas Torunament ahead. Finally it was the day. The lower school became stars in their production of The Nutcracker Suite , and were really spectacular. We know that this meant long hours of hard work for the. lower school teachers, but their efforts were rewarded- it's a show destined for Broadway! After the show, everyone adjourned to stuff their bellies and get ready for the long winter's nap . Several classes exchanged gifts. (Let's not forget those Senior gag gifts!) During the holidays, everybody spent money, got fatter, and whooped it up at those famous social affairs- the sorority dances. Unfortunately, we all got used to the easy life and it was doubly hard to return to the school blahs! 83 Homecoming?! Basketball?! Pep Week preceeded homecoming with many fun events and contests. The Sophomores beamed with pride when they won the spirit chain while Billy Griffin paraded around the school with the sexiest legs. The second grade's winning poster was observed with approval by students dres- sed in snazzy tenny pumps and stylish hats. Friday was the highlight, with fifties day for the high school and blue and white day for the lower school.
