From the pep rallies at 7:45 in the morning to the club meetings in the afternoon, tradition continued. _ Even with these reforms and changes in lifestyle, Poets continued to show other schools that the tradition that has endured for 75 years, is still alive. Furthermore, the word “tradition” at Lanier is not only a word, but also a way of life. Shannon Holliday and JoAnne Lucci show the closeness shared between teachers and students at Lanier.

The existing clubs concentrated on quality, rather than quantity. Club and organizational leaders performed many of the functions that used to be performed by teachers. Students could choose from many different clubs which meet during or after school, such as Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Science Club, or Junior Civitan. Junior Civitan members often attended many conventions held around the state.

Gathering at McDonald’s and Burger King, staying after school to practice for Homecoming skits, and volunteering for community projects were just a few of the activities that shaped a student’s life. More important than just being a part of an activity, the Lanier student enjoyed being a part of it all.

Shouts of joy and sorrow filled the air. The students of Sidney Lanier had a lot to look forward to. The thought of returning to a newly renovated school lessened the blow of the summer’s fast retreat. Many were concentrating on the new LAMP program. One thing that the students were not looking forward to was the changes brought on by State Superintendent of Education Wayne Teague’s Plan of Excellence. The 8:10 arrival, 3:10 departure and the reduction of in- school activities were not welcomed by a large majority of them. The return of the wild weekends filled with football games and good friends were welcomed with open arms. Nevertheless, the 175 days of total education were upon us. Work, Work, Work.

Spirit has always been a very important part of the Lanier tradition and was vividly expressed at school. The week leading up to the Lanier-J.D. football game, September 24-28, was filled with neverending spirit. Many students participated in the annual “Out-Dress J.D. Week.’’ On Monday, September 24, spirited Poets blinded J.D. with the bright colors of the Islands on Hawaiian Day. Tuesday, fashions returned to those thrilling days of yesteryear on Oldies Day. As the middle of the week rolled around, Lanier sparkled with Glamorous Day. On Thursday, Sidney Lanier was plagued by Blue and White fever. The pep rally, alias Roman Holiday, in the gym gave everyone a chance to show off their togas. That night the crowd was wild with excitement as the Poets took to the field to take on the Jeff Davis Volunteers at Cramton Bowl. Poet Spirit is overpowering and can only be expressed in the tradition of Lanier. Hands Up Poets! Anetha Kennedy follows the cheerleaders chant at the early morning pep rally for the Dothan game.

In between deadlines of research papers, tests, book reports, club meetings and projects, jobs, babysitting, sports, and all other things that kept students tied down was a little bit of free time. No matter how it was arranged in busy schedules, friends managed to have time of their own for the weekend. Every Monday morning at school students counted down the days, sometimes hours, until Friday. Perhaps the most popular idea for a couple aking emery Mall, JoAnn Sutton t buy all day. was to go out for dinner and see a good movie such as “Temple of Doom” starring Harrison Ford, or Prince in ‘Purple Rain’. Groups of friends may have gotten together at a football game or dance. For some, sleeping late Saturday morning may have been one of the highlights of the week. Waking up on a Saturday or Sunday morning to a yard “rolled’ was usually funny. The weekend held some reason to celebrate or at least take rest from busy week. Week-end Fun 17 Dressing for A Fabulous Statement! hat did Poets have in mind for fashion? Smart, distinctive, and fun were the looks of students as they dressed for late summer, fall, winter, and spring. Trends in school clothing varied from the wild combination of brightly colored or black parachute pants, zippered shirts, sunglasses, and jazz styled shoes, to a more conservative appearance of wool slacks, ties, white shirts, or cotton sweaters and dressy skirts in subtle colors, prints, or plaids. An important factor to fashion was the final touch of cologne and accessories that gave one a personal polish. Fragrances like Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Anais Anais were popular among girls; Polo, Chaps, and Halston were for boys. Jewelry and belts of all kinds were vogue favorites. Here kitty, kitty. Soft sweaters and cotton blouses make a great combination for Lori Kondrath, Cry- stal Jester, and Caroline Turner to wear with their plaid slacks, baggy pants, or Guess cropped blue jeans.

The spirit of the event was visible throughout the day continuing with the exhibits on the front lawn. It reached its climax when the Poets took on the Prattville Lions at Cramton Bowl. The afternoon festivities centered around the annual homecoming exhibits, which featured a project from each club. There were Cokes, hot dogs, games, candies, cupcakes, and, of course, cotton candy for sale. There was even champagne, alias Sprite and Seven-Up. DECA won first prize for their “lion-taming” exhibit with Jr. Civitan and the North Tower taking 2nd and 3rd places. Lanier’s auditorium was filled with electricity as the traditional homecoming assembly began. Alumni, teachers, and students encompassed the auditorium with shrieks of excitement and spirit. The fact that ’ Lanier celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary added to the momentus occasion.

It began with the opening of the school in the fall of 1910. The Poets looked on in disbelief as World War | became a reality. They partied their way through the wild and roaring twenties, and had high hopes for a better future during the Depression. As America entered a second World War, the Poets again braced themselves for an uncertain future. They rocked and rolled through the fifties, experienced the “Dawning of the Age of Aquarius” during the turbulent sixties and the unsure seventies, and breakdanced their way through George Orwell’s 1984. After the last skit, the whole auditorium sang “Happy Birthday” to Lanier in honor of its 75th birthday. Everyone then awaited the announcement of the Homecoming queen and her court. Homecoming queen Debra Arrington and runner up Wanda Andrews were escorted by Student Council President Broderick ohnson. Senior attendants Keenya sallard and Monica Allen were � scorted by Senior Class President Al Arrington. Junior attendants Lisa farver and Crystal Jeffries were � scorted by Junior Class Vice- resident Aaron McNeil.

The Diamond Anniversary of anier became a “‘sparkling’’ event for ‘ach Poet on this special day. Homecoming 23 lee spirit of Christmas was in the air as the Poets prepared themselves for the joyful holiday season. As in years past, they placed more emphasis on helping others than helping themselves. The Student Council was responsible for two projects. The Council sponsored the annual Canned Food Drive to help needy families in the Lanier community. Some of the food was also donated to the Council on Aging to be distributed to needy elderly Montgomery residents. The members of the Student Council aided in the distribution of the food baskets composed of contributed food. The council was also responsible for 24 Christmas Poets Spread Christmas Cheer the beautiful Christmas tree that decorated the main lobby. Various clubs at Lanier furnished ornaments for the tree, and representatives from each club helped to decorate it. No Lanier Christmas would be complete without Santa’s Workshop, sponsored by the North Tower. It was filled with all kinds of cakes, cookies, and inexpensive gifts that the students could purchase. The drama class presented “A Christmas Carol” for the annual Christmas assembly.

Christmas 25 Election Involves Poets oets were not only active in school, but also in one of the most talked about presidential campaigns in history. Geraldine Ferraro made history as she campaigned for the vice-presidential seat along with Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale. It was the first time a woman had ever been on a major party ticket. Although Mondale and Ferraro campaigned hard, it was not enough to beat incumbent Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan and vice-presidential nominee George Bush. Ronald Reagan’s defeat of the Mondale and Ferraro ticket is said to have been the biggest landslide since Richard Nixon’s win over George McGovern. Reagan had 525 electoral Election votes to Mondale’s 13 electoral votes. Senior Bet Kennedy worked at Democratic Headquarters at Normandale Mall in the afternoons. She passed out literature, called about volunteer service, and answered phones. When asked how she felt about the outcome, Bet said, “I was glad to be a part of it. Even though Mondale did not win, his views were heard.” Senior JoAnn Sutton worked for the Republican campaign at Union Square. JoAnn made and answered phone calls, did office work, and took surveys.

Their hobbies included everything from dancing to collecting unicorns. When there was no time for doing those things, there was always reading or just plain relaxing. Music, movies, and games played very important roles in many teens’ lives. They could always be found at the theatre seeing such hit movies as “Purple Rain” or “Ghostbusters”. If there was no time to go out, they could always put on their headphones and listen to such hits as “You're the Inspiration” by Chicago or “Feel For { Prima Ballerina.

Hit games of the time, such as the mindboggling Trivial Pursuit or the role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons provided hours of fun and entertainment. The Poets had more than enough to occupy their spare time. For many this meant working or volunteering their services to hospitals or nursing homes around Montgomery. These tasks gave them the opportunity to earn extra money to fund some of their leisure- time activities or just to help others. With so many ideas to choose from, it was obvious that there was never a dull moment in many of their lives. They knew how to have a good time. Hobbies 29 Poets Seek Involvement In Church, Community irst on priority lists of most students were church activities and involvement with civic groups which provided ways for youth to learn responsibility. Churches gave students, their friends, and families a variety of activities that not only served the community and provided fellowship, but also met their spiritual needs and gave a positive boost to life. Sunday morning worship services were times for many teenagers to be involved in church. Bible study, choir, and even special youth retreats were some things that teenagers felt were not only fun, but important. Popular civic clubs such as the Y.M.C.A.’s Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y, and Leaders’ Club kept teenagers on the go with programs that were made to enrich leadership. Individual clubs offered to Church, Community help those in need of food or clothing, visited the elderly or those in children’s homes; they even did odd jobs for the school. Most programs ‘that involved all “Y” clubs during the school year included Youth in City Government, Man of the Year, Y.M.C.A. Sunday, Youth Legislature, and, in the summer, Blue Ridge Assembly High School Values Conference, and National Affairs. Students devoted their time to other volunteer groups like Candy Stripers for a local hospital, a scouting troop, or some type of personal self- esteem support group. Organizations such as these taught students to accept responsibility, become organized, accomplish and exceed goals. While learning how to serve others, students had a chance to make friends and have fun. Using a little elbow grease.

Anticipation of holidays made students day dream ideas for activities and vacations. Countless hours of preparation were given by people to produce “Annie Get Your Gun”, the spring musical of 1984. Students had a choice of trips for spring break—New York City, a cruise to Cancun, Mexico, or a tour of Washington, D. C. Mr. John Bell took a group to London, England, last year. To wrap up all of the dear memories 32 Special Activities More Than Just Ordinary Week of the school year, the Junior Senior Prom was planned to seal friendships in high school. Managing to work all the odd jobs needed to prepare for each special event was just as much fun as enjoying the recreation of the events themselves.

Groups chose to put an effort in making their ideas come to life of things to do, places to go, and people to meet. bama State Fair held in October Coliseum. — “There’s No Business Like Show Business’!

Albums featuring Prince, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, and many other music greats provide hours of entertainment for many Poets. Sounds of Music Hi omes of Lanier students were alive with the sounds of music. In one room there was a television blasting MTV throughout the house. In another, posters featuring Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Rick Springfield, Lionel Richie, and, needless to say, Michael Jackson were substituted for wallpaper. Music had really captured the minds of the Poets. Concerts were an effective panacea for that dreaded disease: the weekend blues. Some of the biggest concerts were those that comprised the Jacksons’ Victory Tour. Senior Alicia Barnes was the winner in the Montgomery Advertiser’s drawing for two tickets to the Jacksons’ Atlanta concert. When Alicia was asked how she felt when she found out that she had won, she replied, “I didn’t believe it because | never win anything. When | realized that | had won, | screamed.” One of the biggest orders that Santa had to fill for the Christmas of 1984 was probably the order for the laser disc player. The new space age stereo een played small discs, which were inserted into a tray instead of records. A laser beam replaced the needle in the new music machine. It was added to the control rooms of such popular Montgomery area radio stations as WHHY Y-102 and 99 FM. As it had in the past, music was continuing its playful romp es the lives of America’s teens. “Bop Til You Drop.

Brad stated, “I learned a lot about state government and how it functions.” Brad Cooper was also selected for a Presidential Appointment to the United States Naval Academy. Receiving the Bausch and Lomb award for Excellence in Science and Math was Cody Jones for his high grades in those subjects. Seniors Shannon Holiday and John Dobson were named Semi-finalists in the National Merit Program. Senior Broderick Johnson was commended for his score on the National Achievement Test for Negro Students. During the summer, nine students from Lanier were selected to go to the Citizenship Seminar at Harding University. These students went to Searcy, Arkansas, for a week to learn about patriotism and the government. Senior Shane Gates said, “It was a great opportunity to learn about our Ea government and it was a lot of fun to meet new people.” . ’ Awards! Awards!

Christy Hodel, co-editor- in-chief, attended a workshop at Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, North Carolina, during the summer. The week long conference was attended by students on yearbook staffs all over the southeast. “It was a great time,” reported Christy, “I had fun just learning.” The remaining staff people welcomed Christy’s newly learned knowledge. With this head start and quick studies of the “how to’s” of layouts, the ORACLE staff came through again. The ad sales were completely successful and the yearbook sales were pushed. The staffers were also pushed for the deadlines. Taking pictures, interviewing students, teachers, and coaches and arranging the layout were all part of getting the job done. Along with the work came the fun. Friendships were made that would last a lifetime. The outside activities of the staff ranged from selling student directories, to early morning breakfasts at Shoney’s. After all the work was through, the fun times took over. But the most rewarding time to a staffer was the moment of glory—the presentation of the yearbook on ORACLE DAY. This gave every one who had contributed to the book a feeling of accomplishment and pride.

First, the page titles were printed in the top outside corners of the page. A second change was made on the backpage, to include not only ads, but also miscellaneous articles written by the first year staffers. The ads were designed throughout the paper to encourage advertising. “The BLUE AND WHITE feels that they aided in the renovation project of Lanier,’ quoted Ms. JoAnn Lucci, the sponsor.

These changes reflected the literary and art interests of the student body itself, and the staff tried to feature these interests. Selling candybars, calendars and planners, and hosting their Santa’s Workshop were a few of their projects to raise money to support the magazine. The North Tower staff also sold Lanier pennants and a spirit chain to boost school spirit. The staff held submission drives throughout the year to select material that would go in the magazine.

Says It’s All Right Aas club was added to the Lanier collection which was designed to help students become aware of the drug and alcohol abuse in the American life style as well as in the American public schools. This club is Teens Needing Teens or T.N.T. The club informs students that it is all right to be straight. Teens Needing Teens started in 1983 when students from different high schools attended a drug conference in Atlanta. Former drug users talked to the students about the abuse and how everyone including parents, did not believe that their child could be using drugs or alcohol. The Montgomery chapter of T.N.T. was city wide until the group divided into small units in each school. Senior Shannon Holliday, who brought T.N.T. to Lanier stated, ‘The biggest goal for T.N.T. is to have 100 members by the end of the school year.” Through the membership the club spreads the word that it is all right NOT to use drugs and alcohol.

Annie Oakley was portrayed by Joy Anderson with Doug Hughes playing opposite as the legendary Frank Butler. Blocking scenes and learning lines were just the beginning. The entire cast and crew temporarily became carpenters as they worked together to build the set. Acting skills as well as crew skills were learned by everyone. Mr. Bell organized a spring trip to New York which several members took advantage of. The seven-day tour included four Broadway plays and a backstage tour conducted by Sandy Duncan, star of My One and Only. The trip was during spring break.

Mitchell, Mrs. Dorothy Golab’s daughter, was nominated for the club in 1969. Ever since, the club has continued to be co-ed. Being an honorary club, students must be invited into the club. Approximately two dozen are selected each year and are judged on grades (a B average in all academic subjects), faculty recommendations, and citizenship. After being nominated, the students’ records are screened. Next, the final list of names is approved by the faculty and club sponsor. Usher members support out-of- school organizations that hold functions at the school’s auditorium by selling concessions, distributing programs, and showing people to their seats. The money which they make is used to make improvements at the school. Mr. Jack Reed, the club’s sponsor, stated that the Ushers Club members are the ‘‘best group of students at Lanier and it is a pleasure working with them.” hte a Brad Cooper distributes programs during the 1984 graduation ceremonies.

Winning four of the nine games played, the Poets scored an average of 14.4 points per game. ‘The team’s best moment,” Coach Sikes boasted, ‘was probably when they got the final six points against Jess Lanier in the last minute and a half of overtime.” i , in de, .

Football 109 Poets Search for Consistency T : Poets opened their season in a new classification, 6A. They began with city rival G.W. Carver Wolverines. The Poets led throughout the game scoring 24 points in the first half. The air attack and wishbone by senior quarterback Stanley Murray seemed to be the major reason for a 24-0 defeat in the season opener. After an impressive win the Poets traveled to Carroll of Ozark. The only score of this game came from an Ozark pass to the end zone and extra point following. The Poet offense and defense seemed to lack consistency. A fourth quarter hit from Stanley Murray to Anthony McCall in the end zone moved the Poets ahead to take an 11-8 victory over the Northview 1 | Cougars. Lanier got on the scoreboard th) | when junior Wayne Whitt hit a 37- yard field goal. A blocked third quarter punt by the Cougars gave them their only points. At the first home game for Lanier the Poets exploded with more than 300 yards to defeat the Dothan Tigers 27-0. Senior safety Patrick Fenderson returned a 55-yard touchdown halfway through the first quarter. Senior receiver Anthony McCall caught an end zone pass from junior quarterback Jerome Townsend for a two point conversion. Late in the first half senior Stanley Hall intercepted a Dothan pass and returned for 28 yards to the Dothan 20. Stanley Murray then set up an 18 yard pass to tight end Al Harris. The defense ended the night holding the Tigers to 86 total yards. Senior quarterback Stanley Murray moves swiftly on the draw play against JD assailants.

Football SESORASRRS, Te Poets anxiously awaited homecoming, not only because of the special occasion, but to seek a _chance at the State playoffs by beating Prattville. With the revised 6-A division, Lanier had to defeat Lee and Prattville to qualify for a playoff berth. Unfortunately, the Poets fell short of their dream as they lost a heartbreaker to the Prattville Lions in double overtime. Roderick Buycks made a touchdown in the first quarter of the game. However, Prattville scored the first touchdown when the Poets fumbled on the 25 yard line. Stanley Murray scored two other touchdowns against the Lions. Wayne Whitt helped the Poets to tie the score 17-17 with field Dothan 27-0. Defensive strength proves valuable as Wendell Frazier stops Carver Wolverines. Homecoming Loss Diminishes Playoff Chance John McClenny (40) breaks loose to help crush goal points. The tie sent the game into double overtime. However, the Poets failed to score, and Prattville won the regional game 31-24. Another overtime game was more successful. Poet fans sat on the edge of their seats nervously awaiting the last play of the Jess Lanier game. The time on the clock had run out when Roderick Buycks caught a touchdown pass which put the game in overtime. In the third down of overtime the Poets scored once again. The powerful defense held Jess Lanier on the second yard-line preventing them from scoring. The game was over and the Poets were victorious in defeating Jess Lanier 24-19. Football 113 é : C a p ta I n S Most valuable player Anthony McCall and Soph- _ omore of the Year Darryl Tymes pause for a pic- Named | ture. t the end of the football season the team selected players who they felt were exceptionally outstanding in certain positions. The two permanent captains were Rondell Wannamaker and Stanley Murray. The best offensive and defensive backs were Roderick Buycks and Stanley Hall. The best offensive and defensive linemen were Frank Tarrance and Johnny Banks. Darryl Tymes was selected as Sophomore of the Year. Most valuable player went to Anthony McCall. Football had been a major factor in these players’ lives. Many of them began playing in elementary school. For many seniors their football career ended with the Lee game. However, some of the players planned to play college ball and hopefully turn pro. Here are some comments made by the players: Frank Tarrance: “ | have enjoyed playing with Lanier. | plan to attend Tennessee State and continue playing football.” Named permanent captains of 1984 are Stanley Darryl Tymes: “] feel great about Murray and Rondell Wannamaker. being chosen as Sophomore of the i Year. | will be returning next year.” Stanley Hall: ‘It was definitely a privilege to have been honored by my teammates. | will be attending Auburn | University or Georgia Tech next fall. Roderick Buycks: “| feel very honored and grateful to have been chosen to receive such a great award. As of now, | am not certain which college | will be attending, but | will play football. Sean Moe: “Although we didn’t make it to the playoffs, this season was commendable. Next year when | return as a senior | hope to achieve the ultimate experience, the State playoffs. Anthony McCall: ‘| feel ecstatic about being chosen MVP and I’m pleased to know that my teammates thought enough of my efforts on the field as being outstanding. | am pleased with my season’s performance, and I'd like to say that it was a pleasure to play with such a classy organization. I’m thankful to God, my coaches, and teammates for their assistance in helping me to become a total success.” 114 Football Having just gotten the ball from Stanley Murray, Roderick Buycks drops back for the halfback pass.

Under the training of Coach Connie Hobbs, they went on to win the Area 7 Championship in a game against Lee High School at the Regional Tournament. The season closed with a record of 15 wins and 5 losses. In her second year of coaching volleyball at Lanier, Coach Hobbs was faced with a very young team. Only four of the players were returning from the previous year. Faye Wilson, dubbed the best spiker, was the only senior on the team. ‘They have excellent discipline and excellent , Stephanie Pirtle, Pam Peterson, Renee Talley, Bobbi Rudolph, Faye Wilson, Tracy Smith, Man- ager Anna Maddox, Coach Connie Hobbs.

While Smith controlled the back-row bumping, Henderson prevailed in setting. By directing exercises, offering advice, boosting morale, and setting good examples, Henderson and Smith led the Lady Poets to victory. The greatest challenge had to be playing Carver in the first round of the State Tournament. The scores were close with Lanier gaining a total of 62 points, while Carver totaled 63 points. With a powerful surge Renee Henderson serves the ball to Carver in the last game of the season. 1985 Volleyball won—15 lost—5 Opponent We They Montgomery Academy 2 0 Carver 2 Jeff Davis Enterprise Ozark Montgomery Academy Jemison Robert E.

Volleyball 117 Lady Poets Dominate Area Ths Lady Poets once again proved themselves by ranking 8th in the state mid-season. For the past four years the Lady Poets have attended the State Tournament and ranked in the top 18. The team consisted of 5 juniors, 3 sophomores and 2 seniors. Seniors Wanda Faye Wilson and Zanthia Brown were college prospects. Junior Sylvia Robinson stands barely 5 feet, but that is no disadvantage to her because she exhibited quickness, determination and ability. Sylvia Robinson was named “Player of the Week” by the Advertiser. The Lady Poets possessed talent and ability, but most of all, they were extremely versatile. Their strong and powerful bench helped them attain many of their victories. The team’s strategy was basically defensive. After the Christmas season the Lady Poets returned with determination and won 8 games straight! The Lady Poets were reclassified along with all other sports into a 6-A division. They played in Area 7. Dr. Wayne Teague’s “Plan for Excellence” forfeited an entire week of scheduled playing time. Coach Rita Price stated, ‘‘The team has consistently improved since the | beginning of the season. They played together as a team. It is quite evident that they couldn’t have won 8 games straight if it hadn’t been for their team effort.” mies Front row: Faye Wilson, Sylvia Robinson; Row 2: Lorri Gilliland, manager, Kim Whetstone, Felisa Adams, Renee Archie, Pamela Peterson, manager, Back row: Teresa Carroll, manager, Vandante Hayne, Angela Robinson, Zanthia Brown, Bobbie Rudolph, Gary Clark, manager, Coach Rita Price.

Girls Basketball 119 Changes Prove Successful Tr varsity basketball team consisted of 8 seniors, 4 juniors and 2 sophomores. During the first half of the season the Poets placed third in the Blue Gray Tournament, which they hosted, and they placed third in the Selma Invitational Tournament. Along with the new change in football divisions, basketball was also reclassed into a 6A division. Lanier played the same teams as they had previously, but the change was that they only had to defeat Prattville and Lee to qualify for the sub-regionals. Dr. Wayne Teague’s “Plan for Excellence” had an effect on basketball, also. The team was allowed only to play two games a week, and as a result a tournament was knocked out of their schedule. However, the team did benefit from the change because they were allotted more practice time which prepared them for their upcoming games. The team suffered a disadvantage in weight and height. Due to their disadvantage they weren’t very assertive in rebounds, but the team as a whole was quick and motivated. By mid-season the Poets had qualified to go to the sub-regional tournament. They had hopes of continuing their successful season and qualifying for the state tournament. Senior Cliff Franklin stated, ‘It’s an exciting experience to be part of the varsity basketball team. | believe this year’s team will be very successful. Before every game we “Get Motivated.” We have a deep and powerful bench which has had a strong influence on our season. With this being my final year at Lanier, I’m glad to be a part of the varsity basketball team.” Senior Anthony McCall shoots for two points during the first half of the Lee vs. Lanier game. 120 Basketball we Senior Stanley Hall leaps through the air during the Lanier vs. Carver game trying to grasp the rebound.

Coach John Bricken and B-team Coach Jim Sides discuss the strategy with the players before the game. Basketball 121 Poets Face A Difficult Season ear the end of the season the Poets were in the middle of a slump. Although they played as hard as ever, their scoring was the major downfall. The Poets usually had one bad quarter which was either the second or third quarter. In the game against Robert E. Lee they played 13 minutes and only scored 6 points. The Poets, however, qualified for the area tournament due to their previous victories. In the tournament Lee played Prattville; then Lanier played the winner of that game. After the tournament, win or lose, Lanier got to go to the sub-state tournament. Coach John Bricken hoped for a major turn around in the tournament for his team. The B-team excelled in rebounding and the shooting ability of the guards. The offense was the strongest part of the team. The Baby Poets had an advantage in their height with Juagin Bownan being 6 feet, 4 inches tall. Coach Jim Sides stated, ‘This team has potential to be the best junior varsity in the history of Lanier. This could only mean good things for the varsity as these tenth graders move up next year.” | Varsity Basketball Front row: Tim Moe, Eric Dot- | son, Dwayne Smith, Sam Jackson, Jerome Gould; Second Row: Stanley Hall, Patrick Fenderson, Jer- ome Townsend, Steve Rogers, Eric Jefferson, Ear- nest Murray, Roderick Buycks Back Row: Coach John Bricken, Charlie Belser, Lester Hails, Randall Webb, Jon Reynolds, Broderick Johnson, Alan Franklin, Anthony McCall, Cliff Franklin, Al Harris, Coach Jim Sides.

Even though there were only two senior members, the team placed second in the Valley Tournament. “The fact that we had to forfeit in two weight classes brought us down a bit,” said Coach Fred Russell. In the middle of the season Van Nguyen, Mac Brock, and Frank Tarrance were all undefeated. Brad Waller, with only one defeat on his record, and Frank Tarrance won the championship at the Lanier Tournament in January. “We're doing well,” replied Coach Russell, ‘‘and we plan to continue to improve.” Wrestling was dropped as a school yt sport in 1981 and was not resumed until 1984, due to a lack of interest. Then with Coach Russell’s determination and the team’s perseverance, popularity among the student body grew making wrestling a strong sport once again.

Eight members to a team, each player would shoot 18 holes. The scores of the best four players of each team would be added up to find the team score. The team with the lowest score won.

Shelley Brooks was expected to lead the team in the following season. Tennis team members devoted themselves to the game, on the court and off.

The select group of young men and women that decide to use their skill and agility to compete for that one goal in all their minds, the win! There’s the school sports including football, volleyball, tennis, golf and baseball and then there’s the off campus or informal sports. Some of these sports include water skiing, horseback riding, bowling and just about anything done outside of school. Some of the people that choose off campus sports find them to be quite enjoyable. Amy Hamilton, a sophomore horseback rider, takes her sport leisurely to just “get away” from it all. She feels school sports are great, but the time spent by herself is worth ® every minute. Monty Todd, a junior race Car driver, takes his sport seriously. Much time and patience must be taken out. He has been racing for four years and is one of the youngest drivers in the state. Monty has won countless numbers of races and hopes to win many more. Although these people do not compete for Lanier, they keep up that winning Poet tradition in their minds. Winning is not their main objective but to do what they do and do it well. Senior Todd Sanders is practicing his shot for a game for his church, First Baptist. Shelley Brooks seems totally overjoyed at his re- cent kill during a deer hunt. 134 Informal Sports Andi McLaurine is “riding high” on the El Toro at Steve’s Country in Prattville.

The cheerleaders faced the challenge of boosting school spirit at early morning pep rallies which were quite different from in-school pep rallies of previous years. Pompon routines were cut out, but cheers and pyramids remained to fill the twenty minute rallies. Ten varsity cheerleaders were chosen according to their performance, grades, and teacher evaluations in March. The squad practiced all summer perfecting cheers, pyramids and routines. All of their hard work and effort finally paid off when they went to Pensacola, Florida, to the National Cheerleading Association Clinic. They received superior ratings as well as a spirit stick each night. At the end of the week they were chosen to compete for the Award of Excellence. Alicia McGee was chosen All-American for the second year. After their glory and highlights during the clinic, the squad got right to work again. They held their annual Montgomery Cheerleading Clinic for all the local junior high schools. The profits went towards purchasing new uniforms.

In addition, the overall academic standards were enhanced as students displayed a cheerful willingness to study. Indeed, the realization of the importance of academic performance in consonance with the requirements of a “high- tech” society compelled students to achieve higher than ever before, thus providing Lanier with another facet in its academic search for diamonds.

The criteria for acceptance into this “school within a school” included a strong academic background, an ambitious yet positive attitude, and an area for overall growth. The program, the first of its kind in the Montgomery Public School System, allowed students to take advanced courses while earning college credit. Advanced placement courses in English, biology, calculus, and government prepared seniors for college careers by engaging in indepth studies in and out of the classroom. Along with computer classes, juniors studied chemistry and advanced world history, while a speech class highlighted the sophomore program. Displaying the delightful Spanish Christmas card she wrote and designed, Eileen Knott translates the message. Meticulously disecting a rat in physiology, Marti Foxwell sees for herself the muscle and bone structure. Every important step is taken as Tom Buchanan, Jeff Shum, and Will Parsons measure relative in- tensities of light in different parts of the spectrum with the spectrophotometer. 142 LAMP LAMP Sets Academic Standard Commitment and a disciplined attitude toward homework allowed the one hundred twenty students to confront successfully the rigorous academic program. ‘LAMP students do better because they are much more motivated for the task,” commented Mrs. Judy Pratt, Head of the Foreign Language Department, which experienced tremendous growth because of the LAMP program. Seniors and juniors participated in field study, the most innovative aspect of the program. Students were allowed to leave school one period early to pursue their career interests in the community. Students performed such diverse tasks as cancer research, work in the Governor’s office and study in local hospitals. Law firms and computer firms were popular field studies for many, while some assisted in local college laboratories. Electives took the place of field study for some. Jotting down notes during their debate, Scott Brightwell and Emily Knott carefully listen to points of the Equal Rights Amendment from the opposing team of Wanda Van Houten and Cindy Hanby. Hilariously creative with costuming to depict nerds, juniors Chris Crane and Shannon Huggins entertain their English class in a skit on argumen- tative writing. With the assistance of Mrs. Paula Cannon,Paul Hayes explains the calculus problem he has just worked to the senior class. 143 Mr. John Bell uses the video cassett machine in the teaching of his class in the library. Mrs. Juanita German sets up the film projector for her next class. 144 English Preparing for College tudents had no reason to complain B about English being the same old hing year after year. A variety of -ourses gave students choices—from ophomores getting research echniques to juniors choosing reative writing to seniors selecting dvanced placement English. Grammar vas taught, but so were literature, lebate, and critical reviews. In its third year, advanced y)lacement English made students eally begin to think of college, for the -ourse was taught to give the students college credit. Senior Christy Hodel stated, ““A.P. English is hard, but | feel it is really preparing me for college. — We learn so much!” Sophomores in Mr. John Bell’s LAMP classes studied the debate © process. With the television coverage of the presidential debates, students eagerly tackled the task of preparing for debates. Books reports were still a part of each course, but many classes all read the same book and discussed its merits together. Making use of the library, junior Lisa Steele uses the card catalog to find books. Dwain Broadway lets librarian Mrs. Mae Irving check out his book. Lori Kondrath makes her speech to the class. Acting as teacher, Lisa Gamble sits at the desk while Kara Killough looks on. English 145 Classes Utilize Election ith this school year also being an W election year, the social studies department made good use of an influx of election materials. Mr. Charles Martin used election related magazine and newspaper articles by making weekly analysis of government and economics articles requisite. Classes were also required to “build a city” relying upon their knowledge of the foundations of government and Searching Oak Hill Cemetery for the oldest graves, Steven Johnston, Mark Rhodes, and Jay Aughtman determine the average age of males and females in the 1880’s for Mr. Bill Rambo’s American history class. Using visual aids in his world history class, Dwight Jinright describes “News from the Past’’ to Mr. Rob Johnson and the sophomore class. 146 Social Studies the organization of the U.S. Constitution. Juniors taking American history were favored with a lecture by a Philippine prisoner of war and demonstrations of firearms used during the Civil and the Revolutionary Wars. Sophomores were afforded a class in world history which concentrated on providing them with general background information on the most significant Fervor events in world history. The department added variety to their programs by assigning tasks such as student surveys on topics as controversial as ERA:and historical sketches of people and events in history. Fulfilling another objective, students learned to prepare income tax returns and make charts and graphs of money flow. Economics study became practical. “I'm the man for the job!’’ states senior Cody Jones as he convinces the government class to make him the ruler of his country. Explaining the types of governments in South American countries, Mr. Charles Martin locates the countries for Wilma Russell. ‘“‘One vote can make a difference,’’ exclaims Milette Arrington as she persuades her class to vote on November 4. 00 00000000008 ‘“Greeks’’ Carrie Turner and Susan Starr set the scene for their sophomore world history class as they explain the Peloponnesian War.

However, according to Mrs. Shirley Cochran, head of the Math Department, ‘Students should recognize that most occupations will require more math than in the past, and they should prepare to use it often in their occupations.” Although the participation in analysis continued to decrease, many students were found in the Algebra III David Hanson demonstrates to his classmates the correct way to bisect an angle. Mrs. Marie Stafford teaches William Gilchrist how to play this game of probability. Mrs. Paula Cannon shows Stacy Lockheart how to work an equation. 148 Math Utilize Courses classes and in the increasing number of computer classes. General math courses taught fundamentals. The new Lamp program, the County Math Tournament, and the selection of new textbooks were highlights of the department. The Lamp students, taught by Mrs. Paula Cannon, had more initiative to learn about geometry, Algebra II with trigonometry and analysis, and calculus. Student attended the County Math Tournament as well as many others sponsored throughout the state. New textbooks were tested for their purchase for next year. Many students were challenged in the National Math Exam taken during the spring. Nicole Macon explains to her class one method of factoring. Henrietta Smith asks Mrs. Cathy Pressley to work a homework problem on the overhead. Gina Summers and Charles Cassels learn com- puter graphics. 149 New Textbooks for Science Department Ne textbooks, purchased by the Board of Education, were given to the science department. Mrs. Dorothy Golab, head of the science department, stated that all of the books are better and up to date in comparison to the old textbooks. The teachers voted for the books to Adjusting the crucible, LAMP chemistry students Jeff Shum and Jeff Murrell heat the material to a high temperature. Melanie Belew franticly searches for newspaper articles pertaining to science for chemistry. 150 Science be used in the science department. The textbook committee met and chose which books they wanted, and a representative from the school went to the countywide textbook committee to vote for her choice. Along with new textbooks, new equipment has been bought. A new hood which removes poisonous gases was purchased because the old one was malfunctioning. A course has been changed also. Life science has been changed to biological science. Mrs. Golab stated that biological science is a better course than life science. Senior Jeff Houser uses his high-powered micro- scope to complete his classroom assignment in biological science. Spencer Lee examines his chemical before per- forming his chemistry experiment.

Science 151 Working Hard for Money o be literate and informed citizens, 1 Ee wise Consumer and a competent worker, each student should possess a basic understanding of the business world and how it functions. That is the main reason why so many students get involved in vocational courses. BE (Business Education, DE (Distributive Education) and Marketing Careers, and ME (Mechanical Education) offer students exactly that. All courses offer learning in various things such as filling out resumés and job applications to how to dress to going about an interview. The teachers are responsible for the placement of students in a job for which they took the course to making sure the students do a very satisfactory job. All of the jobs that the students are placed in are beneficial to them if not now, in the future. Mrs. Gail Morgan, teacher of business education said, ‘It is very rewarding to get to see the students in the classroom and then go out on their job and see them succeed.” In BE, student’s knowledge, skills, understanding, and attitudes are needed to program in the office environment. It teaches students the skills and abilities necessary to function effectively in the business world. Students in BE must take part in club sponsored by BE. FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America, teaches students how to engage in individual and group enterprises; how to hold an office and direct the affairs of the group. FBLA took part in the Christmas Giving Tree at Eastdale Mall helping the American Lung Association and sending Christmas treats to children at Baptist Medical Center. Mechanical education, taught by Mr. Willian Smith, prepares students for various jobs from auto mechanics to cosmetology. VICA, Vocational Industrial Club of America, sponsored by ME basically prepares students for leadership in the world of work. VICA students took part in a District Competition in March in Dothan, where they competed in their occupation. Those students that win may receive scholarships. Most students taking vocational courses fall into 3 categories after they graduate: 1) continue working, 2) go to college and work or 3) go into the armed services and expand their occupational knowledge. DE, taught by Mrs. Ethel Word, teaches students things helpful to them in getting various marketing jobs. DECA, Distributive Education Club of America, is a major part of DE because a student’s grade is made up of class work and DECA. DECA students participated in the DECA District Competition at Carver. The winners went to Birmingham and then to California for the National Competition. Many students may have a medically oriented career goal. HOE, Health Occupations Education taught by Mrs. Mary Anne Farrar, teaches students how to take blood pressure to taking temperatures to analyzing blood. Another important field work many students are interested in is the managing and taking care of a home. Personal clothing and housing and living environment, taught by Mrs. Mamie Green, teach students home planning, color schemes, and the organizing, planning, caring and building of a house. During the school year, students even made a dream house. Mrs. Bonnie Taylor, teacher of Home Economics, teaches students how to cook and care for children. Home Economics students cooked and prepared food for a Christmas party for teachers, as well as for a teacher appreciation tea held in December.

Receives Word Processors ew word processors, purchased by the Board of Education, were given to the business department. The word processors were used by advanced typing students. First year typing students were introduced to the word processors second semester. Accounting classes received new calculators. New electronic typewriters, also purchased by the Board of Education, are up to date so that they will help students in the business world. Along with new typewriters, calculators, and word processors, inserts Correction tape. Using the calculator, Christy Hodel quickly fin- ished her work in accounting class.

Enrollment has improved somewhat since last year as far as accounting and record keeping are concerned, but the enrollment in the typing classes has dropped. Mrs. Sarah Meriwether, head of the department, stated, ‘All enrollment must improve. The business department trains students for life after high school.’ She also stated that these are ‘‘sellable skills.” A great loss to the business department was the dropping of . shorthand classes due to not enough people interested in the class. Mrs. Meriwether stated that shorthand is just as important as typing. It is beneficial even if it is for personal use. Charlotte Wheeler, a junior, stated, “I personally feel that this will hurt or hinder those who really want the course but aren’t allowed to take it at this school.” Vicki Roach checks the screen while typing on the word processor. Troy Dawson uses the computer to work out a problem. Business 155 Cultural Exchange he Foreign Language Department Taieees a tremendous growth due to an increased interest in foreign languages and an influx of sophomores in the department. Many students were drawn by an opportunity to study and experience a foreign culture. With new classes in Latin and higher levels of Spanish and French, additional faculty was re quired to handle the course loads. Students studied traditional and conversational foreign language and concentrated on more indepth aspects of foreign lifestyle. “Foreign languages attract most students because they can study more than ‘language’ focusing on history, culture, customs, and literature,” attested French IV student Jackie Sexson. This focus was seen in the writing of skits, reciting of dialogue, and creating seasonal greeting cards. Advanced students did research, historical character sketches, and translation of articles from foreign newspapers. In the spring, the department sponsored the International House Banquet, a forum in which foreign students from around the world met and conversed with Lanier students. This cultural exchange activity allowed students to share knowledge and compare customs with those of their foreign counterparts. The foreign students not only lived with their hosts for the duration of their stay, but also attended classes with them. Spanish student Tracy Grimes explains her special project on her family tree entitled “Mi Familia”. Instructor Sarah Edwards drills Latin student Shannon Huggins on historical terms relating to culture. 156 Foreign Languages Bet Kennedy, Spencer Lee, and Tom Buchanan examine French terms posted on the bulletin board in M iss Shelley Patterson’s class.

Taking advantage of group study benefits, French IV students participate in a question and answer session with Miss Shelley Patterson. Foreign Languages 157 Electives Stress Motivation tudents taking classes in music or Sband were required to do more than just learn music or even perform. These students were required to do out of school activities which would allow them to experience performing while giving them the inspiration to work even harder to attain their goals. In beginning music and band classes, students must work with instructors in hopes of laying the best possible foundation, according to new band director Mr. Oliver Boone. These beginners were required to do “bonus” activities which would make them more knowledgeable of music history and theory, with four and five year students concentrating on music theory. In choral classes taught by music director Mr. Tommy Holliman, individual effort was integral and encouraged. These music students performed around the city as did the concert and stage band students. Live performance is also thought to be unequaled in allowing students to see their potential and begin forming goals. “lI would much more prefer to have a student that is motivated rather than one that is talented,” commented Mr. Oliver Boone. He feels that talented students often reach a point and no longer excel, whereas motivated students have no bounds to how far they can extend their talents. Motivation is equally important in music where students must dare to be adventurous enough to solo and even perform before an audience. While perfecting sectional performance, sopho- more trumpeteers practice reading music in preparation for the entire band playing together. Preparing for all-state competition, junior Moni- ca Lawrence fine tunes her skills on the clarinet. 158 Music Band ae New band director Oliver Boone instructs con- cert band students in the producing of a unified sound in preparation for an upcoming perfor- mance.

Music Band 159 enewed studies in studio art, Recor and soft sculpture afforded art students the opportunity to achieve superior art skills while developing high creativity and originality. Instructed by Mrs. Earline Moore, advanced students worked at their own pace and produced works using myriad artistic methods. Three- dimensional art, abstract art, and realistic prints were produced by the students and displayed in art exhibits which they organized during Homecoming and Open House. Students were required to rely Students Enhance Resources upon their own creativity to find inspiration and themes for their work. The finest works from all of the classes were entered into regional and state competition. “The arts and crafts classes concentrated on developing self confidence, building ego, and being original,” commented Mrs. Moore. Classes in major creative crafts such as weaving and needlepoint added variety to the methods by which students could express themselves through their impressionistic work, and submit more varied entries to be judged. Advanced Studio Art students Lucy Loftin and Charlie Creel compare writing assignments on art history. Royce Mathews and Mrs. Earline Moore admire a work done with an oriental theme. Studio Art students Anthony Porterfield and Chauncey Scott utilize watercolors to bring out images in their impressionistic work. Hanging a variety of art works, Art Il students Joe McCarter and Tyrone Lovejoy compare the dif- ferent art styles on display. 160 Art Lights... Camera... Action any students believe in Mabroadening their imagination. To do so, many students like to take speech, drama, or theater. Speech offers a variety and versatility to students. Speech teaches various activities pertaining to drama and the theater. In speech, students learn group problem solving, debate techniques, public speaking skills, and research skills. They also get first hand experience in drama by performing in plays and skits sponsored by the drama department. The drama department produced the Homecoming Assembly and the Christmas Assembly as well as a series of Shakespearian plays, which were performed for English classes throughout the school. Mr. John Bell, speech teacher, stated the students are very excited about the course. Many students in speech are in the drama club. Lisa Sparks tries on a costume for the next perfor- mance. Kara Karr and Jessyca Dean share a book during the reading of Romeo and Juliet. Juniors Brad Waller and Manuel Guzman work on a prop for an upcoming show. 161 MAVC, CAVC Offers Training tudents not wanting to go to S college prepared themselves for work after high school. In preparation, students went to one of two vocational centers—Montgomery Area Vocational Center (MAVC) or Central Area Vocational Center (CAVC). The only difference between the two centers is the course selection. MAVC, located on Hall Street, has courses such as auto mechanics, cosmetology, dry cleaning and alterations, and child care and guidance. CAVC, located on Union Street, teaches courses of food marketing, horticulture (greenhouses), radio and TV repair, and refrigeration and air conditioning. Both centers are designed for students who want training for work after high school. Juniors and seniors go to the centers for two-year courses and receive 2 1 2 credits per year. The instructors help with job placement pertaining to the vocational course that they take. After graduation, some students go to Patterson or Trenholm Technical Schools for further training. Child guidance students Marian Gardner and Cristy Parr help children stack boxes. Harold Lewis tunes an engine in auto mechanics. Tamara Arrington works on Carol Boswell’s hair while Wanda Armstrong sits under the dryer in cosmetology. 162 MAVC-CAVC Linda Smith and Steven Thomas alter clothes on the sewing machines in their tailoring class. Carla Smith and Jackie Bowman take the mani- kin’s blood pressure and heartbeat in HOE. Cedric Sims fixes the motorcycle’s carburetor. Will Jones and Anthony Atkins remove paint from Will’s truck in the auto body shop. MAVC-CAVC 163 Hold the Gold s one walks down the halls of Lanier, he may hear one ROTC cadet say to another, ‘Hold the gold.” This is an expression between ROTC cadets instilling pride and determination. ‘Hold the gold” refers to a gold star on the cadets’ uniform. The gold star stands for honor unit with distinction. Lanier’s ROTC received this star after the Annual Federal Inspection (AFI) held last spring. Active duty army officers came to Lanier to inspect the cadets based on what they learned the entire school year and graded them accordingly. For the past 3 or 4 years the ROTC received honor unit, which is a blue star, but the cadets proved to themselves and others that they had what it took to be the best, and it shines on the right side of their uniforms. Another time to show pride and determination is receiving your learner’s permit or driver’s license. Driver’s education, taken by sophomores, prepared students for driving a car. Driver’s education teaches the basic rules and regulations that need to be known when driving a car. Along with rules and regulations, students are exposed to simulation machines which take the students through some possible situations that may happen to them on the road. Driver’s education also prepares students for their ultimate test... driving a car through the streets of Montgomery. C SFC Hollis Timmons gets inspected by C CPT John Moody while C 2LT Julius Smith marks it in the book. Junior Aaron McNeil uses his protractor to locate a water tower on his map.

Students took part in various sports according to the seasons. In the fall, sports such as soccer, football, and track were played. In the winter, indoor sports of basketball, volleyball, and woffleball were played. As the seasons changed and the weather grew warmer, students played horseshoes, golf, and softball. Many students took P.E. because it was an energetic course and gave students a chance to take part in activities that some would not normally participate in outside of school. Such sports enstill respect, cooperation, and a positive attitude. Physical education is the main choice needed as a physical activity to graduate. Many sophomores took one semester of health. Health taught students mental, consumer, and dental health. Students also learned about drug and alcohol abuse, lifesaving techniques, and major diseases. P.E. students Kristin Duvall, Melissa Lusco, De- Shon Moseley, and Jennifer Harris aim at their target. Health students Val Bettis, Margenett Murray and Jennifer Harris demonstrate CPR. 166 P.E.-Health 4 ‘ f ms 4 Vivian Grove tries to balance on the beam with he help of fellow students.

This friendliness is what our memories will be based upon in the coming years. These student-teacher relationships create an important facet in Lanier’s diamond quality. Through mutual care and 169 School Format Changes Entire Schedule WwW Mayor Emory Folmar officially cutting the ribbon, the doors of Lanier were opened for the public to view the newly renovated building. “It’s a dream come true,” said Mr. Wiley Cutts, principal of Lanier for 13 years. “I’ve been wanting this for a long time—a refinished school, a new program, and an emphasis on excellence in education.” Mr. Cutts stated that education had been slighted in the past, and schools Sporting new office furniture as well as a “fresh building, Mr. Wiley Cutts, principal, enjoys dis- cussing improvements at Lanier. Smiling, Superintendent Henry Adair and Mr. Wiley Cutts greet people at the Open House. 170 Faculty were worried about keeping students interested. However, Lanier’s Academic Motivational Program has turned education in another direction. It prepares students not just for everyday life, but for college. In reference to the Lamp program, Mr. Cutts said, “It will have an effect on the entire school.” As director of the Lamp Program, Miss Mary George Jester felt that the change was definitely for the better. “Lamp has answered State Superintendent Wayne Teague’s Plan for Excellence,” she stated. Assistant Principal Jimmie Adams who is in charge of discipline, felt that the students have changed for the better. ‘The students are cooperating with the change in the rules,” he said. “There is less fighting and less profanity than in the past years; also the students’ consideration for each other has improved.” RENOVATIONS TO SIDNEY LANIER y HIGH SCHOOL FOR GOMERY PUBLIC SCHOOLS ECT:BARGANIER MCKEE SIMS CONTRACTOR:CENTRAL CONTRACTING Raia 3 Discussing the improvements to the building are Mr. Wiley Cutts and Miss Mary George Jester.

Raise your hand if you need any kind of assistance.” These statements sounded familiar to many students. In fact, the Guidance Department found itself repeating these phrases more than ever as testing reached an all time high. Guidance Counselor Mrs. Beverly Williamson coordinated the Exit Exam, which froze all classes for three days. The other tests that were given were the Make-up Alabama Basic Competency test (BCT), the California Achievement and Stanford Test, the PSAT, the ASVAB, and the Advanced Placement Tests. In addition to supervising tests, the Guidance Department was involved in career and college counseling. Mrs. Rosie Burks, Guidance Director, stated, “Seventy-five percent of the Registrar Jane Miller takes a request for a stu- dent’s transcript from AUM. Judging the homecoming exhibits, Mrs. Beverly Williamson and Mrs. Jane Miller score FBLA’s dis- play. Looking at the University of Alabama’s yearbook, Guidance Director Rosie Burks discusses Ala- bama’s activities with recruiters Bobby Hicks and Bill Jones. 172 Faculty students attend a four year college, a junior college, or a technical training school.” “What the Guidance Department would like most is to have more opportunities for Group Guidance Activities. This is very hard to schedule because most of the students have six class periods, or leave school at 12:30,’ commented Counselor Lula Chapman. Testing affected not only the Guidance Department but also the Activities Department as events had to be scheduled around the testing dates. Mrs. Barbara Fowler, Activities Director, scheduled all of the events on the school calendar. Some of her other tasks were to sponsor the Oracle and Student Council, coordinate all of the extracurricular activities, school pictures, and senior cap and gowns. wy Counting out student booklets, Mrs. Lula Chap- man organizes material for career group counsel- ing.

The faculty of Lanier can not make that statement. Many parts of this world have been traveled to by the educators of this school. The beaches, mountains, lakes, plains, parks, and forests have attracted many throughout the year. Memories were made at these fabulous places and good times were had. Mrs. Shirley Cochran used her Winnebago to tour the Northwest while Mrs. Mamie Green traveled to Canada. Some teachers organized trips and cruises. Mrs. Lynn Huett and Mr. Rob Johnson traveled to Washington, D.C. and the Caribbean last year and are planning a Mexican cruise from Miami this year. In fact, Mexico attracted many of the faculty. Rosie Burks, Lula Chapman, and Anna Vincent were among those who enjoyed Mexico. The World’s Fair in New Orleans attracted the company of Lynn Sullivan, Dot Golab, JoAnne Lucci, and Ruth Stevenson. England was a favorite of some of the teachers. Barbara Fowler, John Bell, and Sarah Edwards loved London and Shakespeare’s country. In fact, just about all of the states have been traveled to by most of the teachers.

Changes Come to Office, Lunchroom 4a A school office is a very interesting, sometimes | exciting place to work, but never | boring,” boasted Mrs. Betty McCall, who is the office secretary. Not much changed in the affairs of the office, but everything changed over the summer when Mrs. McCall and Bookkeeper Mary Donald had to move everything out of the office for the renovation and then move in again in August. The beginning of school still had everyone hunting everything! Mrs. Peggy McKeny, the lunch | room manager, was excited about the a change in the lunchroom. “ ‘Offer ; versus serve’ is coming along wonderfully. The students are really taking advantage of it,’ she said. There were over 1,100 lunches served per day. However, the number did vary according to what was offered. The students liked the new items that were offered. ‘I like the pretzels, because sometimes I’m really not that hungry, so I'll just grab one.” stated Sherrie Taylor. Some of the other items offered were fruit flavored shakes, and individual salads. Organizing everything together, Mrs. Betty McCall takes time to think. ; 180 Faculty School Relations Officer Cooper and Angela McWhorter discuss the requirements of becom- ing a police officer. Mrs. Johnnie Mae Marshall prepares one of the many items that make up a very nutritional lunch. At the faculty Christmas tea, Mrs. Peggy McKeny prepares the refreshments.

After having finished eleven years of school and finally reaching the last most important year, the senior can not help but to feel the best, for we are the best for having made it this far. Each heart being filled with excitement has brought great happiness and unity among the senior class, but in the midst of the excitement there is also sorrow. Now it is time for us to leave the great halls of Lanier and adventure out into the world, never forgetting the battling football games, the exuberant cheers at the pep rallies, the elegance of the Junior-Senior Prom, the many assemblies, the exotic lunchroom food and most of all, each other. Because this time has come for us to prepare Senior class president Brodrick Johnson makes a speech to the student body at the opening assem- bly.

Led by Mrs. Lucille Banks, the senior class officers planned and brought forth many activities for the seniors to become involved in. Among their extracurricular activities were selling booster badges, coordinating a Miss Senior of ’85 Pageant, selling shirts, hats, pins and stickers with the class motto printed on them. There was also more to experience as seniors besides the fun things. There were tests that had to be taken such as the SAT and ACT to enter college, and many decisions to be made for the future. But through all the activities, school work, and decisions to be made, the senior class has come out on top, for the BEST HAS ARRIVED! eo . evél 2 ¥ 7 Senior Dawn Poage and Lisa Sparks show their spirit at the Prattville game.

The time has arrived for us to reach the level of maturity that requires us to take, face, and to live up to our responsibilities.

Ranking of Top Ten Announced hen senior rankings were sent out Wise September the top ten seniors with the highest grade point averages were announced. Their rankings were computed from their ninth, tenth, and eleventh grade averages. Lanier does not recognize a Valedictorian at graduation. Each student is recognized as being one of the top ten as he or she receives the diploma. Many are involved in other things besides academics. Several had chosen to enter the LAMP program their senior year as well as school, clubs, publications, or community activities. Wide Receiver Chosen Favorite nthony McCall always had a smile for Avene except on the football field. This friendly senior took his football seriously, and being one of the best wide receivers in the state had Georgia Tech, Alabama, and Auburn coaches really pursuing him. Anthony also plays basketball for the Poets and was a member of FCA and Vice-president of the Student Council. He is a member of Mt. Liniar Baptist Church. When asked how he felt about being chosen favorite he replied, “I was thrilled, and | can’t really put it into words.” His favorite subject is Algebra II. After graduating, Anthony plans on attending a four year college and majoring in business or management. Favorite Anthony McCall relaxes on a quiet day in the park.

Exam exemptions was the one senior privilege that no other class had. In order to accomplish this task a senior had to maintain at least a ““B’’ average throughout the semester and also not have more than five absences, tardies or checkouts in each class. Avoiding the tardies was a major chore. Many seniors could be found racing to class seconds before the tardy bell sounded! All the extra effort put forth toward being exempt paid off by having a three day break between semesters, while others were working hard on passing their exams. It’s good to be a senior!!

That Final Step he time has come for seniors to make T that one last step before finally being able to say ‘I’m a graduate of the class of ‘85.’ To most, ordering invitations is the last step but to others, receiving their diploma is the last step. What ever the case may be, the time has come. Those majestic butterflies are now entering the stomachs of many of the seniors. ‘‘Oh, no, I’m almost out of high school!” is what some are saying while others are finally realizing that they are a senior.

Shannon, a member of Christ the Redeemer Episcopal Church, enjoys pop, TV, and writing. During school she serves as Co-editor of the Blue and White and a member of the Math Club. When not in school she is active as a Gayfer Girl, a member of the Tri Hi Y, Leaders, and the Biracial Committee. Club initiation produced the funniest thing Shannon ever did: “I was walking on all fours and barking and bit a total stranger in the mall.”” Being ranked number 1 in her class academically, Shannon had a choice of colleges to attend.

There was a variety of things and not enough money to go around. With movies to see, the many dates, and the daily trips to fast food road, jobs were almost obligatory. With more than half of the senior class employed, seniors faced many responsibilities, but the rewards were rich when payday arrived. Making one’s own money became advantageous in all aspects of life. One big help was not having to ask for extra money for the weekends. It also helped by obtaining a new sense of accomplishment.

Set in the middle of ruling seniors and struggling sophomores, the juniors faced what many say is the hardest academic year of one’s school term. In addition to this came many responsibilities. For most juniors it was a time of job seeking to take the place of spare time. Many juniors received their driver’s license and finally felt equal to those who had laughed for months. Fortunately for most juniors their dating life picked up, for Dad did not have to chauffeur them anymore. All of these new experiences called for a change in attitudes, maturity, and decision making. Along with these new phases of the outside world, the juniors also became involved in all school activities including clubs, pep rallies, publications, assemblies, and spirit days. Along with help from the senior class, the juniors took on their ultimate responsibility—the prom! This involved selling candy to pay for the expense. Class officers organized and directed the fund raising as well as the decorating for the Civic Center event. They appointed members to the Junior Executive Committee to assist with all the preparations. Together the juniors faced their first college prep year with motivation and eagerness. Junior class officers Aaron McNeil, Vice-Presi- dent; Faye Britt, President; and Karen Carter, Me- lanie Belew, and Jeffrey Murrell, Members at Large enjoy campus life. Juniors Susan Howell and Kara Karr show senior Carmen Angles the best way to have fun at a pep rally.

The juniors ordered their class rings in September and received them in December. Representatives from Herff Jones displayed a wide and colorful variety of rings for the juniors to choose from.

Many tests were taken that determined the future for most juniors. Along with taking the required exit exam, the PSAT, ASVAB, ACT, and SAT tests were also taken. Scores from these tests were sent to many colleges and universities. “The tests are fairly general and I’m sure colleges take them seriously,” commented junior Shannon Huggins. Jay Taffet, also a junior stated, ‘I’m glad that juniors have the opportunity to take these tests’’. Lanier juniors have an excellent reputation for scoring high and representing Lanier well in comparison with other high schools on these college “prep” tests.

Sophomores supported Lanier in football games, pep rallies, and club meetings. The first year of high school was a very important one for the whole sophomore class. Many got their license and some even took on the responsibilities of a part time job. Sophomores also had their first experience at having to take exams.

The officers also worked with the Student Council in collecting and distributing canned goods for the needy families during Christmas.

As | reflect upon my three years at Lanier, | can think of no better way to express my feelings than by the following paraphrase of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address: hree score and fifteen years ago, | eae forefathers brought to this city a school called Lanier, conceived in gothic-style architecture and dedicated to the principle that all Poets are created equally.

We have advanced to this high level of educational competence to herein dedicate a portion of that excellence to those who have so honorably sacrificed for 280 Closing p DiamondAnniversaryDiamondAnniversaryDiamon the well-being of the school itself.
