Shaping-Up Pp hysical fitness has taken over almost every aspect of life, and now its influence is reaching its greatest peak. Its effects spread from the food we eat and the style of clothes we wear to the very activities that our lives center around. We no longer buy jogging shorts, but “active wear,” and we no longer just exercise, but ““azzercise.”’ Well, its influence on Lanier is no exception. Keeping fit has affected every Lanier Poet—whether sophomore, junior, senior, or faculty member. Whether Poets stay fit physically by exercising or just by becoming involved in a sport, or stay fit mentally by working in a computer course Contents Student Life Academics Clubs Sports People Business Index Closing Poets Improve Selves, School or just simply by studying, we all are in some way continually “shaping up.” In turn, not only are we Poets keeping ourselves fit, but we are keeping Lanier itself “in shape.’’ From the planning of its renovation to the upkeep of its pride and tradition, we are working to keep Lanier at its best. Poets are special people, and just as good athletes prepare themselves for reaching the prize of the gold medal at the Olympics, so do Lanier Poets constantly “shape up”’ themselves and Lanier in order to keep up with the present to reach the goals of the future. We pursue our own gold medals of excellence. Working out on a machine in the weight room, sophomore Allan Williams tones up his neck muscles. Working hard to shape up the student council room in the basement, Cassandra Hall and Brad Coo- per continue to paint with a rapid pace. _ Preparing themselves for more advanced levels -of education, students Sherri Knighten, Art Sexton, Chris Reif, Ray LaWiski and Keith Mahone work on their computer programs on the newly purchased computers. Shaping-Up 3 Lanier, Tradition Go Together Wiking through the corridors of Lanier, one senses a uniqueness about the school that emerges from many decades of existence. This specialness is created by 54 years of pride, commitment, and accomplishment which are clearly evident through the displayed awards in the trophy cases and the worn halls through which thousands of students have trod. This special quality is tradition. Tradition is seen in all phases of Lanier life, from the annual events such as the homecoming assembly, Oracle Day, the breaking of the J.D. spirit chain, and the Carver bonfire, to the continual year-long rivalries between the different school publications, whose staffs take pride in keeping each publication ‘‘the best.” Tradition is even exemplified by the castle-like grandeur and beautiful gothic style of the school itself. However, no matter what role tradition plays in life at Lanier, whether it be in the structure of the building or in the activities that take place within, it is a major one. In fact, Lanier is tradition.

To help in selecting a club, Interclub Council sponsored, for the first Rock ’n Roll Day produces Chris McClammy and San- ford Sharpe in their rendition of the Blues Brothers. Working on their South Alabama Fair exhibit, FHA members Brenda Gunn and Zodie Jackson win the first place blue ribbon for the home ec. department. 6 Shaping Up Activities Creative Energy Activates New, Old Clubs time, an assembly to promote clubs. From this emphasis, two new clubs were formed—the RPGA and the Computer Club. Also shaping up this list of clubs was Jr. Civitan Club, which re-formed after | Cokes at their several years of being inactive. All clubs reported an all-time high membership from this re-shaping of the activities program.

Invisible Force Dominates Students n invisible force dominates students at A football games, pep rallies, and everyday in school. This invisible force shapes a. student into a Lanier Poet. Spirit is this force which unites Poets at games, in class elections, in the classroom, or in the community. Spirit shapes a Poet’s life into an everlasting realm of fantasy and realism. Poets use spirit to help shape their wishes and hopes into actualities. Spirit creates smiles of joy and craziness in activities. Spirit shapes a Poet’s tone and mode to help him strive for total perfection and devotion. Spirit directs us to decorate our cars to show off our pride. Spirit shapes a student into a Poet, and a Poet shapes the foundation for Lanier itself.

Shaping Up Spirit 9 Cramming for tests, working on projects, researching for term papers, struggling over homework, and dreading report card day—these are all parts of student life. Along with these, however, also come the enjoyable parts of school such as pep rallies, football games, dates, hang-outs, and parties. Each of these activities adds flavor to our school life and by Poets becoming involved, Student Life is always ‘Shaping Up.” Caught up in the excitement of the Northview game, Daniel Starr and Andi McLaurine set the pace for the Poet cheering section. 10 Student Life ee age NEADS PL EINES IS IS ISRE NR REED ELG INE DSM EDL LO RELL EL IDE LIE ELD POND LESD LATED RAD Talking with friends in the parking lot is a morn- ing ritual for Stacy Spell, Cheryl Higgins, Carla Pao- letto, and Kara Killough.

F lashing with sparks of excitement, Poet fans could be heard loudly screaming at the top of their voices at the big games and pep rallies for their Poet team. Spirit got underway as early as eight o’clock in the morning when cars pulled into the parking lot with shoe-polished slogans on their windows. In homerooms and throughout the halls and classes, students proudly wore their colorful booster ribbons and shook their blue and white shakers. When the bell rang for the pep rally to begin, Poets eagerly pushed and shoved their way into the crowded gymnasium. Spirit and excitement overflowed as the jiving beat of the pep band lured all to their seats. The pep band really got the crowds going as they accompanied the cheerleaders and emcees with their cheers and popular routines. The most popular chant of the band was “‘Fire Up, Get Up!” which really did get the fans aroused and fired up. The most exciting week was J.D. Week. Preparation for this thrilling game and pep rally started a week early as fighting Poets ““Socked, Punched Out, and Rock’n Rolled Over J.D.” by dressing up for the part each day of the week. On the day of the big game students “‘Greeked”’ the opposition by wearing togas to the pep rally and to classes. Another major attraction of this big day was the breaking of the North Tower Spirit Chain. Reneé Henderson won the lucky link and two free tickets to the game. Every spirit rally and especially the J.D. pep rally had everyone off their feet and dancing to the Poet excitement and beat for the big football games. Eagerly waiting to enter the gym, Beth Shepherd, Lisa Gamble, and Stephanie Postlewait drape themselves with the North Tower spirit chain.

It’s Hot! S corching heat held no barrier to the students’ enthusiasm on the first day of school. The excitement of seeing old friends and getting new classes for a new year was more than enough to keep their minds off the heat. Windows were kept open and fans were provided to relieve the 100° week-long heat wave. Direction signs, left by the class of ’83, were an addition to the school. These metal plates were most appreciated by the sophomores, since they were not familiar with the numbering of the classrooms. Even though the students were drenched with perspiration throughout the week, it was still one of memories. Student Council members James Palmer, Carlos Williams, and Sylvester Robinson prepare for the up- coming events by making the September Activities Cal- endar.

First Day 17 wv And the Homecoming Queen is... S uddenly silence filled the auditorium and all Poets sat on the edge of their seats. Only minutes before everyone had been cheering and singing to the pantomime rock bands of the Homecoming assembly. The cause for the silence was the suspenseful announcement of the Queen Pam Rogers and her attendant Katrina Wright for the Homecoming Court. During Homecoming week the student body had nominated two girls as attendants from each class and a queen from the senior class. Student Council President Paul Ivey revealed earlier in the week the sophomore attendants Lisa Tarver and Ligaitg more 18 Homecoming a! Faye Britt are presented as sopho- at the assembly.

Promoting that theme, Mr. John Bell directed the Drama Club’s production for the Homecoming assembly. Using television shows to depict the years, the program included scenes from the 1950’s, 1960’s, 1970’s, and 1980’s. Some of the programs included “‘American Bandstand,” “I Love Lucy,” The Supremes, Flip Wilson, The Jackson Five, and “‘Good Times,”’ Popular singing groups were also pantomimed. These singers were Prince (Pernell Williams) and the Time (Morris Day performed by Mark Gordon). A dance routine was performed off “‘What a Feeling,” the theme. The lead dancers were Alicia McGee, Anthony Cabble, and Angela Armstrong. The presentation of the Homecoming Court ended the assembly. The day concluded as Homecoming exhibits were put together. North Tower won first prize in the exhibits. The evening ended with a pep rally and dance contest. The excitement continued the next day when Lanier defeated Selma. The entertainment included a dance sponsored by the Student Council and featured the ‘““CandyMan.”’ Darrell Ellis shows off his talent while pantomiming “Wild and Loose.” Portraying Diana Ross, Sheryl Hart expresses the words of “Baby Love.” Wilmer Jordan and John Blackmon perform as two of the Jackson Five. Dawn Arbee dances during the ““Time”’ scene. Homecoming 21 Weekends—A Time of Boredom M ost Lanier students would agree that there is little life in the city of Montgomery when the weekend rolls around. No matter where the students went or what they did, all shared the boredom of a weekend. Some students went out in couples; others in groups, but all experienced the same boredom. When they did participate in activities, they were dances parties, crowding the parking lots of McDonald’s and Burger King, the annual South Alabama State Fair and the Jaycees Haunted House. Perhaps the night time holds some mystical quality. As you sit hunched over your couch, you slowly drift off into a world of your own. The real world seems to have drifted off into darkness. Suddenly your phone rings, and you are asked to go riding. Excitement is visualized. Then you realize the sun has risen and it is back to school again. It is at that moment that you begin to wonder, ‘‘What in the world am I doing in school—I haven’t had a weekend!”’ A t the state fair Glenn Nutt shoots his best shot by trying to burst a balloon in order to win an Elvis painting, while George Edlund weakens his confidence. John Hatchett, LaShon Brantley, Efrem Hanson, An- gela Shelby, Carlos Williams, and Kecia Robertson cele- brate the victory of beating Carver by enjoying a meal at McDonald’s. Picking out that special prize after winning at the fair are Debbie Walker and Lisa Tubbs. Showing their spirit, Pamela Nix and Anita Gaines cheer along to pep up the crowd at the Northview game. Enthusiastic Poets show their support by yelling their lungs out when Lanier scores two points at the first basketball game. To add some excitement to the weekend, “Police” performs in concert in Birmingham where many students went for the show. Night Life 23 Mixing music with the ministry, drummer Robert Palmer and organist Stephanie McNeil practice various hymns before the church service at the Rice Temple.

These activities ainly dominated the students’ outside xtracurricular time. Going to church not only on Sundays but uring the weekdays was a busy part of any students’ schedules. Most devoted eir skills to teaching Sunday School, aging in the choir, participating in a Youth ouncil, serving as an acolyte, or just i 4 } i j 4 Le Meet ame@hurch,-y . taking part in a prayer service. Civic performances in various organizations that provided enjoyment for some Poets included scout groups, assisting with the elderly, and area community service. Several classmen felt sharing their time with others meant caring and learning about various people. One of the most well-liked groups was also the YMCA Tri-Hi-Y and Leaders’ Clubs. These groups planned service Civic Activities projects for the school and community, organized social functions such as dances, and joked and talked with each other at the meetings. Three Tri-Hi-Y groups and one Leader’s Club group participated in the Man of the Year Banquet and Youth Legislature sponsored by the YMCA. Joy Anderson commented on her reasons for enjoying the Leader’s Club and Tri-Hi-Y groups: “Leadership in the community helps us to become responsible adults.” Showing off their ridiculous costumes, JoAnn Sut- ton, Mary Pat Durden, Christy Hodel, and Vanessa Pet- ty “punk out” during Leader’s Club initiation. Actively participating in the YMCA Youth in City Government, Councilman Kenny Foreman, Ami Matti- son, and Joy Anderson carefully debate city issues. During a church service at the Rice Temple, singers Monica Warren, Bridget Robertson and pianist James Palmer sing the musical score ““Come Unto the Father.’ Church, Civic, Y Activities 25 $ Money $ Money $ Money oney seemed to be the key factor in the reason senior students worked. When asked why he worked at Winn-Dixie, Robert Adair replied, ‘For extra money and experience in the business world.” Some students worked to pay for cars. Others used the extra money for clothes and things they wanted. Even though students were involved in school activities, they found time to work and make that extra buck. Lisa Bush realized that even though her 20-hr.-a-week job did sometimes conflict with her school work, the pay check she received each week made up for it. Students not only received extra spending money by working but gained experience and responsibility. A survey among senior homerooms showed that about one-fourth of the seniors held jobs. Fast food chains were the most common place of employment, but students ‘abate a fia ech allan fgreriter is where Daryl Carr held jobs from the state office building to ior ‘ the dentist office to t he corner gas station. : While working at Baker’s, Rodney Ritter shows a customer the latest fashion in slippers.

But Lanier’s lunchroom provided much more than just the noontime meal. For most it was a place to socialize as well as eat. Throughout the year the lunchroom maintained a pleasant atmosphere for reading or relaxing. It was a place where students spent time to study or just to relax. There were two sides to the lunchroom: the quiet side where students studied and did schoolwork, and the loud side where students read magazines, visited with friends, or just relaxed. There were teachers who were in the lunchroom who saw that everything ran peacefully. The lunchroom was also used to serve breakfast. It was also a gathering place before school where students could buy doughnuts and juice and talk with their friends. The lunchroom has proven to be very helpful for students to do anything they need to do before school or during their lunchtime. John Blackmon, Wilmer Jordan, Earthy Thompson, and Charles Belser gather in the lunchroom to discuss the Jeff Davis-Lanier basketball game. Russel Mathews, Calvin Shivers, Juanita Hudson and Jimmy Dixon try to think of something besides food. Desiree Davis expresses her humor by laughing at her friend’s joke. 28 Lunchroom Lisa Sparks becomes startled when a stranger joins her during lunchtime. Todd Sanders stuffs his mouth with a doughnut before the tardy bell rings. Sean Moe and Darlene Turner are in a state of shock when James Murray asks Aretha Tarrance for her hand. Lunchroom 29 Pursue a Hobbie for Relaxation utside of the everyday school activities, Oar have a number of other activities. Students select hobbies to offer enjoyment, friendships, knowledge, and relaxation. Sometimes they even yield financial profit. Lanier students are involved in a variety of hobbies: playing soccer, arranging an aquarium, writing songs, playing for a gospel group and becoming a fashion designer. The interests of students also vary. Some are interested in studying parapsychology, while others are a part of the Society of Creative Anacronism, which is a medievil historical group. Senior John Grewelle selected an Irish background to study and adopt in this fun group which meets on Sunday afternoons to battle it out in full armor. Dora Woods began writing songs five years ago and began sending them off for publication. She signed a musical contract in October and hopes that profit will follow this special interest of hers. Alicia McGee began to take jazz, tap, ballet, and gymnastics thirteen years ago. Alicia said she really did not know if these interests were responsible for giving her the title of All-American Cheerleader, but “dancing is a great opportunity to get in shape and have fun at the same time.” Renee Giles takes a break to get a fitting of LaShon Brantley in order to design a dress to showoff at the band banquet. Taking a break from cheering, Christine Rudolph catches up on the latest material of parapsychology. 30 Hobbies, Interests Boch SL SE, SGT Practicing for the big gospel concert is Alonzo Swigget.

Students Capture Various Honors or especially Tommy Grimes, Ken Struve, John Shires, Allison Upshaw, and D’Livro Beauchamp, college plans after graduation meant a lot of hard work and planning. These students were proclaimed National Merit Semifinalists. They received superior scores on the PSAT test. Allison Upshaw and D’Livro Beauchamp obtained their honors in the Black National Merit Semifinalists. Two other seniors Craig Mann and Maria Bailey captured the Commendable Student award from the same test. Other students Paul Ivey, Sam Orum, and Melinda Camp traveled to Boys’ and Girls’ State, respectively. Sam and Paul went to Tuscaloosa, while Melinda resided at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, where they learned the bustling procedures of state government. They visited the state capitol and met with state officials. Melinda took an active part in her program by running for Public Service Commissioner. The annual Bausch and Lomb Science Award was presented to senior LaCheli Foley. The science department commended her for the excellent progress in her science and math courses. While most of the honors were given to seniors, several juniors were selected to participate in a Citizenship Seminar at Harding College in Searcy, Arkansas. Students joined with other classmen from surrounding states to learn about the traditional democratic values of American citizens. They also listened to various speakers on forms of other governments. All of the awards and honors were especially important to seniors. Winning them was an important step toward college. As Mrs. Rosie Burks, Guidance Director said, ‘‘] encourage all students to try for scholarships. Good scholarships lead to great future opportunities.” Proclaimed Black National Semifinalists from high scores on the PSAT, Allison Upshaw and D’Livro Beauchamp look over various college choices. Achieving high scores on the PSAT test, National Merit Semifinalists John Shires, Ken Struve, and Tommy Grimes request information in Sidney College Comput- er. 33 Honors and Awards Poets Make Embarrassing Blunders! [—— andid Camera’s host Allen Funt laughingly wound up his shows by exclaiming, ‘“‘Don’t be surprised when we catch people in the act of just being themselves.’’ Many of the same antics on Candid Camera resembled some of the embarrassing moments Poets experienced at school. Several clumsy klutzes tripped up the stairs or accidently dropped their notebooks, spilling assorted papers all over the floor while changing classes. Sophomore Rhonda Medal admitted her most embarrassing blunder was the day she dropped her lunch tray in the line. She heard it clatter loudly on the floor and saw food go everywhere. Having her Toyota konk out in the parking lot and causing a huge traffic jam was one of the incidents junior Carmen Angles wanted to forget. 34 Embarrassing Moments “What was really terrible,’ funnyman Jimmy Dixon recalled, ‘‘was telling one of my hilarious jokes and my friends not getting it!’ To some basketball stars, having the ball hit them on the head during a pass made their faces turn red. Jill Parker exclaimed her most embarrassing moment was the day her pants ripped in the back seam, and she did not discover it until she arrived home! What funny blunders Poets made! Many symptoms of embarrassment included blushing faces and ears and finding their fellow classmates laughing and giggling at them. However, after the silly deed was committed, everyone thought back to his moment and laughed at himself as well. Gracefully tripping up the stairs on the second floor, Pat Atkins scrambles to stand up. Funnyman Jimmy Dixon is surprised that Calvin Shivers and Juanita Hudson do not get his hilarious joke. Hurrying to get to class, Karen Hubbard laughs at Lucy Loftin for clumsily dropping her papers. ee : i Causing a traffic jam with her stalled Toyota, Carmen Angles tries to calm down the anxious drivers while Dan Haber speedily fixes the engine. “Oh, my gosh! | can’t believe it! I’m so embarrassed,” cries Rhonda Medal as she sees food fly everywhere when she drops her lunch tray. “Well, I’m not sure how to work this problem,” stammers Bregenia Ambers as Mrs. Marie Stafford asks her to explain the algebra equatio Embarrassing Moments 35 Al Night Long oe ncerts were the main reason many Coe went on road trips. Though expensive and sometimes many miles away, students were willing to deal with the many preparations involved. Bart Schaffer and Rick Morrison stated, “‘The agony of” spending the night in the cold just tovget those front row seats seemed to be the worst.”’ But still there was money needed for the tickets, gas and for some even a T- shirt with their favorite group� printed on it. Those that traveled:many miles such as to Mississippi had to deal with the cost ofa motel. Popular singers;ssuch as Rick Springfield, Lionel Richie, Police, Loverboy and the Commodores; were just a few concerts that caused students to travel to Birmingham, Atlanta, and for some even Biloxi. Lionel Richie Rick Spri ngfield € , i e ; Re 2 36 Concerts Springfield ‘NS: ?

Loud music could be heard in the parking lot before school each morning. From hard rock to country, the taste of music varied throug hout the student body. Having a stereo was great, but the cost of albums seemed to be a problem. Scott Jackson stated he spent about twenty-five dollars a month on just three tapes. Although the cost was sky high, the top albums and songs were owned by many. Songs by Michael Jackson, Rick Springfield, Police, and Pat Benatar were just a few pop songs among the students’ favorites. Country gold songs by Alabama, Hank Williams Jr., and Willie Nelson captured the country music fans’ attention. Other students jammed out to Midnight Star, Prince, and De Barge. Although Robert Witherington and Bob Rutland listen to the music styles varied among the students, radio before school in the parking lot. they still played a big role in each one’s life.

Honors 41 Poets Celebrate by Sharing, Giving A s over 1300 students sang Christmas songs in harmony, the feeling of peace and tranquility filled the auditorium at the Christmas assembly produced by the drama and choral departments. Decorating classroom doors and collecting canned foods made each student realize that Christmas at Lanier is really special. The homeroom doors were judged in two different categories: religious and contemporary. Mrs. V.C. Holmes’s class won the religious theme while Mrs. Kay Testerman’s door won contemporary as well as the canned food drive. During the can food drive, enough food for 23 families was collected along with $117 for fruit and Christmas provides a time of excitement and compe- tition for Lanier students. While Christmas shopping at the mall, Aubrey Nall notices the various decorations. Northtower members Stephanie Johnson and Denise Mitchell display ornaments made by the staff in the workshop. 42 Holidays Mr. Wiley Cutts reminisces with Mrs. Margaret Gor- rie, a former Lanier teacher, at the annual Christmas tries to persuade Januita Hudson to tore scene in the loY-x-bane (Ub gt ale! the, Student Council members assemble to prepare the distribution of canned goods. “Don’t be Greedy, Give to the Needy” is the theme of the winning contemporary door.

The thought of no more high school stball games, pep rallies, assemblies, and ning of yearbooks depressed many in the aduation class of ’84. Others were nervous about getting out d being on their own. Working and starting college seemed to be a frightful thought. But Vanessa Petty stated, ‘I’m eager to graduate and experience college life.” Although emotions were depressing, there was also a side of excitement. There were many things that needed to be done, such as ordering invitations, receiving cap and gowns, attending graduation teas and parties, planning for Florida, and the actual graduation ceremony on May 29. As the sounds of “‘Pomp and Circumstance”’ began the graduation It exercises at the Civic Center, students realized the seriousness of the event. During the ceremony, students were overcome with sadness when they realized this may be the last time they see one another. It was finally time to receive diplomas—a moment many had been waiting for. As the last diploma was given out, caps and other objects were thrown in the air showing the excitement as well as relief that it was all over.

Lanier students help maintain this excellent image by continuing to set academic goals for themselves and to work with teachers in striving to reach these goals. Therefore, whether in college preparatory classes or in general course classes, all Lanier students add flavor to their school’s academic excellence by working on solving intricate equations, writing research papers, constructing creative projects, and preparing for basic competency tests. By doing so each student continues to ‘shape up” through Lanier’s academic program. 52 Academics a Bierevvavsel, iL Tetetr iti is = . o = PEt ei Mee Researching the various types of expository writ- ing, senior English students Cheli Foley and Allison Up- shaw prepare ahead of time for their group presentation in Advanced Placement English.

Once again sophomores began taking a semester of literature instead of studying oral communications as taught in previous years. New literature books meant a refreshing change for juniors and seniors as well. Only twelve seniors filled the Advanced Placement English course in its second year, But Mrs. Evelyn Renolds, instructor of the class, felt that the size would be an advantage; more individual attention could be given. A College Board examination in the spring determined whether a student could receive college credit for the class or not. File keeping became an important task for English teachers with the first state competency test finally given. Documentation of subjects actually taught had to be made, as well as remediation work given. Telling the class about her banner, Susan Howell reminds the class of good grammar rules.

Question after question was raised concerning the crisis in Lebanon. Frequently asked questions for the Congressman dealt with the enviornment’s condition.

Lig ye Cutting Class E xploring science requires more than studying a textbook or listening to a lecture. Using models and diagrams completing experiments, and performing disections allowed students to gain a broader understanding in science courses. By taking part in a chemistry class, students learned about chemical reactions and the composition of substances through several experiments. Physics dealt with the coordination of matter and energy. Just as the laboratory was kept busy by chemistry classes, biology made good use of its equipment with its own required experiment and disections. Students also found the biology lab manual helpful. Although life science was a popular course, it came to a final close. Teachers began to prepare for biological science, a new course that would be the replacement in 1984. Advanced placement biology would be another valuable, new track in science to be taught next year. Anatomy and physiology encouraged students to investigate the structure and functions of living organisms. Throughout the school year five to six carefully instructed disections were entirely finished on animals or their vital organs. Mrs. Dorothy Golab, head of the science department, stated that 99% of anatomy and physiology students attended college. Karen Richardson, a physiology student, stated, ““My purpose for taking physiology was to introduce me to UAB’s courses for my future career as a nurse.”’ Kenneth Rider, Tom Stitt, and Riccardo Vacri use a sensitive scale to find delicate measures.

Mrs. Judy Pratt encouraged her Spanish classes to learn as much as possible about Spanish customs and culture, She also encouraged them to get the feel of speaking Spanish fluently. There were, in fact, six students who spoke Spanish as their native language. Assignments of variety were given to Mrs. Pratt’s students. Writing and decorating a Christmas list in Spanish made the holiday’s spirit come alive. Carefully crafted greeting cards were written in Spanish and given to friends to inspire them to enroll in a Spanish course. Even a research paper was assigned that had to be partially written in Spanish. French classes could not stand still without a giggle or two following mispronounced words. Mr. Ron Head led his students to their optimim. Three levels - of French were offered. A special class French III was taught to only four students who were concerned with expanding their knowledge and understanding of the language. French was taught as an important language because it was internationally spoken. Adding color and Christmas spirit to the classroom can be part of every student’s job by posting Spanish Christ- mas lists on the bulletin board.

Students wanting to get in this honor : society had to have a ‘‘B” average in othe classes. Not only did a student have to have good grades but things such as . character, leadership, attitude, and service to class and school were looked at. In addition to the music honor society, much was going on in the way of music. Band and choral music students alike continually worked to perfect their musical abilities. For the many students that wanted to further their musical ability there was the opportunity to choose a course which he or she wanted to take in playing an instrument or singing. Students who were interested in a choral performing group auditioned in the spring for the Lanier Singers or Ensemble or they could just take a basic choral music class. Students taking a choral music class, whether in a performing group or just in a basic music class, worked with basic music theory which involved learning the importance of each musical note and symbol. Students also studied the history of music and of the songs they sang. Beginning band, concert band, symphonic band were the five classes offered to students who wanted to better their knowledge. Successfully playing their instrument was the main goal of the beginning band classes. Students in the more advanced band classes studied more advanced theory and some even wrote music for the whole band. Special emphasis was placed on tone production of a student on his or her instrument. “= bes Mian Jeff Jones practices singing his part of the song in his music class.

With these awards as examples, Co- s editors-in-chief Paul Ivey and Laurie Cutts worked to equal such tradition. Laurie attended a week-long workshop in July at Huntingdon College to learn trends in yearbook journalism. The staff also attended the regional meeting of the Alabama Scholastic Press Association. Working into Christmas holidays and even during final exams in January, staff members met the six deadlines demanded by the publishing company. The last section of the Oracle was sent to the publisher in early February. The staff then worked on the Oracle Day Assembly, which celebrated events of the year on distribution day.

The Blue and White divided into separate staffs for the first time. Designated as the Blue Staff and the White Staff, they took turns preparing the paper each week. John Shires, Editor-in-Chief of the White Staff, stated that the reason for the division of the staffs was mainly to improve the paper. A wider variety of articles appeared, and a smaller number of mistakes. To meet the costs of publication, ads were sold each six weeks by all members. They sold candy, and they sold doughnuts every morning. The staff also sponsored a movie during study halls. During the football season the Blue and White held prediction contests with two tickets to the Separation of Staff Improves Paper next game as a prize. The Blue Staff and the White Staff had a very busy schedule each week. Each staffer was required to have his article in by Tuesday so it could be prepared and ready to go to the printer on Wednesdays. Friday! The day of gratification! The Blue and White produced their finished product and distributed it to the Poets. Then, it was time to start over. When asked what it felt like being Editor- in-Chief of the Blue Staff, Jill Taylor replied whole-heartedly, “Responsibility.” The editors stated that they could not do it without their sponsor Miss Joanne Lucci whom John Shires referred to as “‘a living journalism book.” Editor-in-Chief of the Blue Staff Jill Taylor and Mar- tha Wynn carefully plan the layout of the paper.

Divided into four small staffs including those of poetry, prose, art, and business, each staff strived to produce acceptable literary works for their individual sections. However, not only did the staff rely on themselves for producing the book, but they also held three submission drives during the year asking oth er students to submit their original works. From these and their own, the staff chose those poems, short stories, and artworks which would produce an award-winning book. Not only did the North Tower staff work to produce their book, but they also got involved in activities which would 88 North Tower support the school and help them raise money. They held early fall and spring car washes, sold links for the traditional J.D. spirit chain, made spirit muffets for the pep rallies and football games, and held their annual Santa’s Workshop where they sold crafts and baked goods. During Homecoming, the staff took advantage of their artistic abilities by creating a front lawn exhibit which won first place. Although the 1983 North Tower received a second place rating by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the first time since 1970, the art and prose sections received excellent ratings. Mrs. Evelyn Reynolds, the North Tower sponsor, stated, ‘We were disappointed in last year’s rating of the book, but we’re working harder this year to regain the quality of our previous publications. We expect to do better.” “Scrub-a-dub-dub” is the thought of each worker as they work to raise money for the North Tower. Proud of their hard work, North Tower members show off their winning exhibit.

The club also had a speaker from the Mental Health Association who was an expert on the Middle East. The subject of his speech was “Why We Study History.”” The History Club also saw a film on ancient civilization of the Incas and the Mayas. Once again the History Club went on an exotic cruise to the Bahamas. Sightseeing, swimming, and eating mouth-watering dishes were the main highlights of the cruise. Mr. Rob Johnson coordinated the trip for students who paid their own way. Taking a tour through the city by horse and carriage is a great way of seeing the beautiful Bahamas.

The points on the diamond represent social intelligence, leadership development, civic consciousness, and vocational understanding. In the center of the diamond, there is a package which represents the well-rounded individual. To instill these qualities DECA planned various service activities which included giving a Halloween party for the children at Brantwood and making bird feeders to hang outside the nursing homes at Thanksgiving. On Veterans Day they went to the VA Hospital and decorated the wheelchairs and visited with some of the patients. The biggest event of the year was the Easter Egg hung at the Children’s Center on Good Friday. DECA members also helped Hudson-Thompson’s Inc., with a family picnic at Camp Grandview. DECA concluded the year with the annual Employer-Employee Banquet where they extended awards to students who had excelled in certain work areas. “Sidney’s Scouts Scalp the Saints” is the chant of DECA members Cynthia Stewart and James Palmer.

Candidates for the National Honor Society had to be a sophomore, junior, or a senior who had been at Lanier at least one semester. They must have had a cumulative average of 3.67 on a four point scale, and be approved by the Honor Society Committee as to leadership, service, and character. The induction for the new members was held on February 29 in a school-wide assembly. Membership in the Thespian Honor Society was based on the number of points earned in a drama production. Students earned these points by participating in the spring musical ‘“‘Annie Get Your Gun,”’ the Christmas assembly, and the Homecoming assembly. Members had to earn at least ten points. The Music Honor Society, in its first year at Lanier, is an international organization also referred to as Tri-M, standing for Modern Music Masters. To be in Tri-M, students had to attend Lanier one semester, take a choral class or band, and maintain a ““B”’ average in their music course. They also had to achieve an overall “C” average. Other qualifications for the society included having an excellent character, having a good attitude and being cooperative with the teachers and students.

Mr. Thomas Holliman, director of Lanier Singers and Ensemble, prepared each group for assemblies and competition. Performing throughout the city, Lanier Singers and Ensemble gave their first concert at Eastdale Mall with Joy Anderson singing a solo. The choral groups also sang at the Christmas assembly and the Ensemble sang at the Whitley Hotel. Another highlight was the time when the Lanier Singers got to show their talent when they were invited to tape a Christmas special for WSFA-TV. Even though they enjoyed performing, preparing for competition was hard work. The Lanier Singers had district competition in February at Lee High School and state competition held in Troy in April. The Lanier Ensemble’s competition was in January at Selma High. Each group or soloist sang two pieces of music which were rated by the judges. The choral groups also had a concert in February and the spring. Lanier Singers Nan Bryan, Kenneth Rider, and Denise Boswell talk about the upcoming concert.

Graduating seniors took advantage of the Delayed Entry Program, which allowed cadets to enlist in the armed forces during the school year and not have to report to basic training until they graduated. Another program offered to graduating seniors was the Army College Fund. This program gave interested cadets the chance to enlist in the army for three years. During these three years, the enlistee must place $100 in a college fund. In return, the army will put $500 a month in the fund. After the person’s three year enlistment is up, the army will give the money saved back to him or her.

Creates New Look ith the surge of interest in shaping W up Lanier, Mrs. Kay Testerman, home economics teacher, decided to lead her department in helping the school. The emphasis was placed on redecorating the living room which had not been attended to in at least seventeen years. The room is used often for entertaining special guests who visit the school. The department began last year by selling candy and cookbooks in an effort to raise the needed money. Mrs. Testerman also asked different clubs to help finance the project. When the funds were finally acquired, work was begun. The room was painted; furniture was re-upholstered; and new carpet was laid. To add a special touch, new accessories were also added. Mrs. Testerman and her home economics class members held an open house for teachers to view the newly decorated room. Mrs. Kay Testerman relaxes in the refurbished room.

The test scores for Montgomery county as a whole were excellent, according to Superintendent Henry Adair. Any student failing to pass a portion of the exam was given nine weeks of remediation within the second semester. After remediation each student was prepared for the next opportunity in the spring, to pass the portion he failed.

Soon each of the sophomores will reach that great moment of turning sixteen; this means to many an extension of their set curfew; to some, a better chance of borrowing the car or maybe even getting themselves one; and to others, the happiness and excitement of saying “Mother, I’m not a child anymore!” As sophomore Regina Little says, “We're not getting older, but we’re getting better!” Terry Tidewell Alfreda Timmons Hollis Timmons Monty Todd Anthony Tolliver Jamael Tolliver Jerry Townsend Terry Truett Lisa Tubbs Carlos Turner Caroline Turner Darrell Turner Jerome Turner Angela Upshaw Yolanda Upshaw Joe Varner Staci Wagner Arlene Walker Debbie Walker Rosalind Walker James Wallace Brad Waller Tywanda Walters Yvonne Ware Tabatha Warren Anthony Washington Felecia Washington Barbi Watkins William Watson Randall Webb 240 Sophomores Twilitta Webb Donald Webster Ronald Webster Micheal Wells Greg Werner Ande West Beth West Charlotte Wheeler Kim Whetstone Patricia Whetstone Anyelika White Rodney White Tony White Yolanda White Carl Whitt Quallie Whittaker Alan Williams Elizabeth Williams Juan Williams Melissa Williams Racheal Williams Stacy Williams Stephen Williams Tonya Williams Ashley Wilson Derrell Wilson Gerrell Wilson Valarie Wilson Avery Wise Dora Woods Shirlene Woods Willie Worthy Camellia Yarbrough Kimberly Yates Barbara York Amy Andrews Baby Marching Poets try hard to get in the swing.

With this withdrawal students are enjoying their buying power to obtain necessities as well as essentials for day-to-day life. One-fourth of the seniors work an average of 20 hours a week to provide this “‘extra’’ spending money. Thus, Lanier students steadily shape the local business scene with purchases an d the power of a teenage work force. Describing the many special features that can be placed on a class ring, the Zales jewelry salesman shows Lanier students Liz Johnson, Rhett Cutts, Connie Spain, and George Edlund a display ring. 242 Business Starting early on their Christmas shopping, Liz Johnson and Veronica Williams wait as cashier Jill Ward rings up the total for their sweat shirts.

Every year the Oracle Staff sets a new goal on selling ads. One must not go out to sell ads and expect the businesses to just hand out their money. Selling ads is not an easy job. One goes out to sell the ad and give the business reasons why he should patronize Lanier High School. The Oracle Staff's goal was to reach $4000. All of the staff worked together to achieve this goal. They did it! Laurie Cutts was the top salesperson. She sold $430. When asked how she did it, Laurie replied, “A lot of hard work, time, and determination.” The money raised from advertising was neccessary to produce the Oracle. .

Visitors Shape Pride In Country eeping abreast of important local and Korationct events, the Poets continually worked on “‘shaping up”’ their knowledge of national and community affairs as well as their pride in self and country. The Poets were kept well informed of many outside events by the periodic visits of several important state and national figures. Early in the year they were exposed to the scene of national affairs by the visits of two particular men. U.S. Congressman Bill Dickinson came to Lanier, informing Poet history classes, in an informal session, about the legislative actions taken recently in the nation’s Congress. Later, in January, Army Ranger SSG. Hank Carpenter made a special presentation for Lanier ROTC classes, discussing his direct involvement in the Grenadian operation. As a result of this type of exposure to national affairs, students shaped a stronger f eeling and pride for their nation. In fact, after hearing SSG Hank Carpenter, Lanier junior Brad Cooper stated, “‘I thought it was very educational, and it made me proud to know that America can come through in a real dilemma.” Poets were later notified of state affairs through a visit from Governor George Wallace’s press secretary Billy Joe Camp, who briefed students about the state legislature’s special session. By staying in touch with the outside scene, each Poet was also able to shape a better outlook on Lanier. Discussing his involvement in the United States’ invasion of Grenada, Army Ranger SSG. H ank Carpen- ter talks to ROTC student John Grewelle about the part his unit played in the fight. Pat Dye, football coach at Auburn University and guest speaker at Lanier’s football banquet, predicts next year’s season in an interview with North Tower staff member Scott Murchison. 284 Closing al nee hitb ry classes about nation: ess, Congressman ntgomery Public he home econom- Taking a few moments after his speech to talk Utilizing their knowledge concerning government with principal Mr. Wiley Cutts, Mr. Billy Joe Camp, the —_and economic systems of other nations, seniors Kimberly Governor’s press secretary, discusses major legislative | Norman, Cynthia Walker, Merle McClendon, Tony decisions made in the last special session of Alabama’s Speed, and Juanita Hudson work to create their own State Legislature. nation of “The United Affairs of Amour” in government class.

With these happen- ings are many mixed emotions from Poets. Some students are eager to see where their life’s fate will lead them. Other students share the memories of laughter, tears, and trials. Graduation is the beginning of a new life for many as they carry the Lanier tradition of excellence into their society. With graduation sophomores and juniors must take control of leadership roles vacated by exiting seniors. Sophomores and juniors must learn to work together and control their own destiny.
