We already have a Director of Paraphernalia, Phil Sessoms. You’ll have to come up with another title.” Such lax entrance requirements and radical cabinent positions could only come from one organization, the Former Good Students’ Society. A new club, the FGSS advocated school day excur- sions to Burke Lake, staying out late on school nights, and partying all weekend. The FGSS was con- ceived by a group of seniors who had finally given up the fight against senior slump and had decided to band together and make the most of their fall into apathy. Cabinet officers were self- appointed. A total of 49 persons claimed to be members of the FGSS, however the club’s ideals were supported by many more as the falling grade point averages of the class of '81 showed. Twenty-four of tho forty-nine former good students pose at the first organized meeting of the FGSS held for the sole purpose of taking pictures.

With agonda in hand, Kevin Mosley calls the meeting to order. Want to sign this petition?” ‘‘What's it for? An Honors Govern- ment class? Sure, let's give the ris- ing Seniors a choice next year.” Establishing an Honors Govern- ment course was the first objective of SCREAM, the brainchild of Mike Thomas, Peggy Wright, and spon- sor, Mrs. Helen Price. The acronym SCREAM stood for the Society for the Creative Reform of Educa- tional and Academic Matters. The Honors Government petition was a success. The administration at- tended an “issues and answers session where they were presented with the outline of the course as well as the 250 signature petition and they later agreed to consider the course for the follow- ing year. Another SCREAM project was lobbying to get money set aside to pay for rented films since teachers were no longer able to charge students. The ultimate goal of SCREAM was to establish honors courses in all academic disciplines and to establish some form of recognition for achieve- ment in those courses. Pres. Peggy Wright gives Teresa Stefanelli and Lynn Euler time to present their ideas and gesticulations. SCREAM Sponsors: Dr. Bill Johnson and Mrs. Helen Mom, Price: Pres.: Michael Thomas and Peggy Wright: Vice Pres.: Lyn- nie Euler; Sec.: Teresa Stefanelli; Members: Mr. John Alwood, Mr. Ron Axelrod. Mark Beebe. Bill Beha. Karen Donnelly. Jeff Eisenhard. Susan Hamel. Becky Jones. Ronnie Maas, Brian Morgan. Kevin Mosley. Kristin Newman, Audrey Short. Lisa Simonetta. Virginia Slaughter. Mr. Bill Wolff. Annmarie Wooten. Because of SCREAM'S open membership, this is a par- tial listing. 346 R R Pres. Mike Thomas, Annmarie Wooten, and Audrey Short talk over future SCREAM projects as Mrs. Price helps Ken Blackstone with a chemistry lab.

Skyland Wranglers and Wranglerettes listen to Marty inform them of the evening's activities. Shawn Johnson, Nancy Rowzie and Sharon West make sure their cameras have film and flashes ready for the next events. Some came just to sing and get kicked out of Mac’s, others to laugh and socialize, even more to learn more about God and themselves. All agreed with Mike Cullerton and Steve Weedman that Younglife was a real good hit.” Wednesday nights were a time for refrains of Wade in the Water and skits like the letter to Santa. During the Thanksgiving holidays a group of eighty enjoyed a chilly weekend at Skyland. For those who wished to learn more about how scripture can give answers to problems in their lives, Cam- paigners was held on Monday nights at the Rowzie's. If a per- sonal problem couldn’t be worked out there, Kiki Galvin and Cindy McKay were always ready to talk privately. Younglife provided both entertainment and guidance to a very large group of ninth through twelfth graders. Listening at Skyland to Marty's lecture about his alien spaceship are Angie Bonts, Eddie Conlon and Dana Dunning. 348 R R
