I If ■1 The 1975-76 term came and, finally, he was where he wanted to be — a senior. This meant college next year. He could hardly wait. This restlessness that possessed his body became unbearable at times But soon he realized that graduation was coming closer and high school was going to end. Yeah, he would miss it. but the future seemed like a bright star in the dark sky just waiting to be reached for Then, that poetic sort of thinking began to fade, too. and he began noticing more and more about his school. He really didn ' t feel like a senior, whatever that was supposed to be. but the greenies sure looked awful short. He wondered if they looked up to him the way he had once done, OPPOSITE Although it is a wet day, the Girls ' Track Team still competes m the Piedmont District meet Student art is displayed on the glass parti- tion of the art room Spotting a hole m the defensive line.

Were these the kids he had been going to school with since the first grade? They looked so separated, so grouped The black kids sat on one side of the room and the white kids sat on the other side. As he looked even closer, he saw that there were groups within these two The smart and or popular ones sat together, the rough ones, the not so popular ones and the shy ones. Why do kids break off like this? ' he wondered. Why don ' t they mix to make more friends? These questions about why people separate themselves from others by building walls around their groups bothered him all day.

A SUMMER PLACE, THE 1975 PROM I ' ll come and get you at seven so we can be there by eight Oh, I ' ve got to go get my hair fixed and get my dress out of the cleaners. I ' m glad you said that because I just remembered I ' ve got to get your flower and pick up my tux I ' ve got so much to do Me too ' When I go get my tux. I ' ve got to dish out thirty to forty dollars, and I ' ve already paid about twenty-five for class dues. Proms ' Why do we go through so much trouble? ' Every year students ask the same question. Most of the time the answer lies in the prom night, and on April 25. 1975. juniors and seniors with their guests found their own personal answers. First they had the excitement of dressing up in gowns and tuxedos. After they arrived, they danced to the music of the Vistatones Food suitable for the best of gourmets was served, and the guests were surrounded by reminders of A Summer Place — water fountains, plants, and a gazebo. The highlight of the evening came when the seniors and their dates were presented. When the evening was over, the conversation had changed. Was it worth it? Yeah. I had fun! Me too! I wouldn ' t have missed it for the world. 12 Student Life OPPOSITE: Doing their original steps to Here Comes the Express are Janice Wilson and Sam Dillard The prom is a time for romance, and Jeff Stegall and Beth Fentress seem to be in their own world in the midst of the crowd CEN- TER: Watching other couples dance are Donna Hylton, Steve Puckett.

They were the first students to attend Laurel Park for five years. Their sense of school spirit and group unity was evident all year, but was never as strongly expressed as at their senior assembly. For the enter- taining part of their assembly, the seniors did skits based on commercials reflecting school life. Then they turned to nostalgia by showing slides of their five years at Laurel Park At the end of the assembly, they raised their hands in unity and saluted the juniors as the juniors marched up to fill their places. At the senior yearbook signing party they wrote their last farewells to each other In many yearbooks the thought was repeated We were the first true Lancers, Student Life 15 FIRST FIVE-YEAR LANCERS GRADUATE The first to begin at the bottom.

Aft«f • y«ar of thinking about gfaduation and being part of the first class to attend Laurel Park for five years, it was disenchant- ing to have it all end in a couple of hours. We were high on being friends and on the sense of being part of something special Now. I ' m sad to see everyone else leave ' These remarks were typical of seniors June 2 wtten graduation exercises were over. It had been an evening of nostalgia. First, a former teai ter. Mr. Robert Chambers, came back to sing The Impossible Dream. Then Joyce Compton. valedictorian. Dixie Hurd, salutatorian, and Winfred Deering, class speaker, talked about what it was like to be a member of the first class to attend Laurel Park for five years. Finally, after di- ptomas had been awarded. Debra Kidd sar g the song she had vyritten in hor or of the class of ' 75 From the first read-through, the sense that something special was happening began to build I Never Saw Another Butterfly was a demanding play It demanded time and hard work in rehearsal but more than that, it demanded a disturbing look at the cruelty of men and an admiration for courage and love in the face of almost unbelievable suffering The story of Raja Englanderova. a survivor of Terezin. a concentration camp for Jewish children in Austria and the people who were with her there — her family, her teacher, her fellow captives and the young man she loved, brought quietness and tears to audi- ences that had all but drowned out previous school productions The cast was led by one of the most ex- perienced actresses at Laurel Park, Jeanne Eggleston, who made Raja unforgettable She was supported by Cindy Handy, Gary Deering, Donald Draper, and Linda Bernard in the major roles and by fifteen other se- niors most of whom were on the stage for the first time The set for the play was simple platforms and was lit with only pools from spotlights, but the production made use of a sound track and slides of the cast in costume taken in settings around Martinsville that were representative of the bleakness and loneli- ness that must have been part of Terezin Faculty members working with the cast were Mrs. Ginger Preston, Ms Diane Dunk- ley. Ms. Betty Shankle, and Mr Wayne Moore.

This upset some of the class who felt that the tradition of an all junior cast was sacred There was even a petition circulated in rejection of the change But the change was made. All students were allowed to tryout for parts The results were good, though Juniors tried out in larger numbers than many people expected, and they were given pref- erence over other students. They had little to fear When the play. Mixed Doubles, was presented on Dec 6 and 8 it was def- initely junior with the exception of only two underclassmen The play was set in two adjoining rooms of a little hotel in Mexico. The two acts were unrelated, but had some of the same characters. These were the permanent residents of Casa Pericolo, Wilma, the proprietress (Barbara Reynolds), Luz, the cleaning woman (Leigh Turner), and Julian, the gardener (Monte Magill) Act I, Love Means Never Having to Say You ' re Forty , centers around the confrontation between a separated couple who are both out for a fling Christopher Sage (Chris Cannaday), an aging but conceited actor, comes to Casa Pericolo with a 20 year old girl, Jackie (Sandy Diehl), who is out to see the world Chris ' s wife Shelly (Nancy Blankenship), a screenwriter, is in the other room with Howard (Jasper Stockton), a straight-laced businessman. Chris and Shelly accidentally meet after each has a fight with his partner, they discover that the boredom they were trying to escape was actually exciting, and they are happily reunited, Leonard , Act II, is really a shipment of heroin cleverly dis- guised as the cremated remains of a scuba diver The smugglers. Max (Terry Eggleston) and George (Carl Hagwood), have their moll, Lily (Lydia Eanes), pose as Leonard ' s grief-stricken widow. Next door is an old couple. Amy Dimston (Cindy Brown) and Donald Steed (Tim Eanes), who are living together for tax pur- poses. When certain complications arise, the smugglers decide to get Donald and Amy to take the heroin back to the States The couple agrees, thinking the pot contains Leonard. After Luz breaks the urn containing the heroin, Leonard changes hands several times and a wild chase begins for recovery. Finally, the smugglers are tricked into believing that the Rev Simon Clugg (Timmy Martin) has flushed the heroin down the toilet. Ex- asperated by the whole ordeal, they head back to Marseilles for another shipment, unaware that the heroin is hidden in their luggage. Calm returns and Amy agrees to marry Donald.

Junior Class Play 21 Flats At Last, Drama Club Builds ' em Flats! The Drama Club built them After years of talking about building good ones (that weren ' t made from green wood and cardboard), the Drama Club emptied its treasury and spent two Saturdays building sixteen sturdy, muslin covered, ten foot flats — enough for a box set In November, the Drama Club sponsored an assembly by the New Virginia Company from UVA. who presented A Company of Wayward Saints. For most students this was an introduction to comedia dellarte After the play, the university drama students held workshops in acting, make- up and lighting Students also had a taste of theater in a semes- ter drama class offered for the first time What they learned about make-up, lighting, drama history, acting and directing, they could use in class and festival plays.

Most of the students who had represented Laurel Park in competition several times had graduated in June. So, when school competition was held in December and winners were announced, only Cheryl Troxell and Ronnie Carter were experienced in district competition. Cheryl, along with Joel Hankins, represented Laurel Park in extemperaneous speaking. Ron- nie and Connie Turner read prose; Angela Hairston and Tim Eanes, poetry. Danna Moyer and Chris McVay did original oratory, and Sandra Roberson competed in spelling. The for- ensics team did not place in district competi- tion held February 1 1 at Drewry Mason High School. One student said, The best part of foren- sics was going out to eat afterward I feel I went into it unprepared, and the other com- petitors were realty good. It was my first year and I wanted to win for the school be- cause Laurel Park had won the trophy three years out of five. It was disappointing when we didn ' t. ith Roses was the play Laurel Park students presented in the District One- Act Festival at Tunstall February 28 The sci- ence fiction drama featured Tim Eanes, Nancy Blankenship and Chris Cannaday with Buddy Thomas, Terry Eggleston and Marilynne Martin.

The jackets were for choir members the equivalent of a letter sweater. Music students sang for assemblies and gave their annual Christmas and spring concerts. The spring concert was a special tribute to the Bicentennial year. For the second consecutive year, All-County chorus was held at Laurel Park in which the Concert Choir participated Regional Chorus was held at George Washington High School in Dan- ville and six members of the Concert Choir participated: Terri Pearman, Margaret Size- more, Mary Ruth Turner, Alan Vaughan, Steve Gravely, and Jeff Stegall.

But with one game to go, their 11-7 record gave them third place. Then, in the last week of play it was discovered that three players had violated a VHSL rule by playing on a non-school team. The critical error was made and had to be paid for. All games except one had to be forfeited which left the Lancers with a 1-17 season. The team was led by seniors Eddie Pace with 18 hits and a .346 average, Larry McAlexander with a 4-2 pitch- ing record, Willie Martin with 13 RBI ' s Lionel Nolen with team spirit and constant infield chatter, and Harold Gravely with a .327 average. Junior McKinley Stockton scored 16 runs, had a pitching record of 6-5 and a .395 average. Starting at second base were freshman Randy Camp- bell and at right field sophomore David Cole.

One player commented, We didn ' t even have to hit the ball in that weather. If we were lucky, the wind was on our side. It carried the ball. But even with all the wind and rain, the golf team pulled through with another good season. There were more spectators and this helped to boost team morale, plus five members of the team were returning for second and third seasons. The team ended the season with a 5-7 record.

Although the team placed second in their first meet, they went on to win three first places and three seconds. Then in both the district and regional meets they placed second. During the season the following records were set: Tyrone Hilton, 440, in 51.1; Ken Morris, shot-put, 47 ' AVi ; Tom White, Ben Gravely, Alvin Carter, Tyrone Hilton, mile relay in 3:34.4; and McKinley Stockton, high jump, 6 ' .

How often the girls on the track team heard those words and used them to place high in their second season of meets. The hustle did not come easy, however. It meant staying after school every day and running until they were sure they could never run again. ( 22 laps? All at once? I ' ll never make it! ) Also, with more meets than before, it meant constantly aching muscles. Still, with all this (plus a little urging from Coach Barbara Boswell) the team pushed on to an impressive season. The girls finished their season with the Pied- mont District tournament at F-C. A cold rain dampened the field, but not the spirits of the team and their fans. Several of the girls went on to regional competition. Track also offered the girls a little character building. Sometimes you ' re not racing against other schools, you ' re racing against yourself. You always want to do better than you have before. This spirit of self-improvement helped make the ' 75 girls track team.

Squeak Thompson took first place in every regular season meet and the district meet. Then his fourth place in regional running qualified him for State competi- tion. Seniors on the team were Sammy Jamison and Tyrone Hilton. Girls joined the team for the first time and made the Lancers one of two co-ed teams in the district. The JV team had an impressive record, also. With only one loss for the season, they promised to keep Laurel Park num- ber one for several more years.

Clay Gravely, and McKinley Stockton to lead the team. Only Jim White was in the beginning line-up. Few had ever seen varsity action, and there were only 9 guys returning that had lettered the year before. Sometimes the long hours of an athlete were over- looked.

I never knew there were so many different kinds of socks and hats. I ate candy in class and I even ate a sucker right under a teacher ' s nose. Activities geared toward boosting school spirit were carried through Homecoming Week. Students were con- tinually in search of cheerleaders who were selling Life-Saver suckers and chocolate footballs. Hat day brought Lancers to school wearing a variety of hats ranging from stocking caps to som- breros. Crazy sock day gave students a chance to exhibit their plaids, flowers and stripes. On 50 ' s Day, guys dressed in the Fonzie image, wearing white shirts and socks, high water pants and slicked-back hair. Girls wore long skirts, bobbie socks, and scarves. On Friday night, the Lancers were vic- torious over the Patrick County Cougars. During halftime, senior guard, Steve Wingfieid and halfback, Jim White, were given the Mr. Touchdown awards, and Louann Hodnett was crowned Home- coming Queen and Marilyn Roher, Princess.

Tuesday and Thursday night football offered spectators contrasts in enter- tainment if they were willing to brave the rain that usually sogged the field. For the eighth graders, games were good for gaining experience, but there weren ' t any victories. Loyal fans could cheer for their improvement. ut if they stayed for the JV game, they could follow plays that gave the team a 4-2 season. The JV ' s had some injury trouble, but covered well when players were temporarily out. This team had left behind a 5-1 record as eighth graders and showed promise for a strong blue varsity wall.

One girl felt this way: I enjoyed it this year more than ever before even though it took a lot I got so much closer to the girls I was working with It sure is cold in those little uniforms. I wonder why I do it, but I guess I really do enjoy the compliments the guys give me after a halftime show and marching in the Christ- mas Parade Louann Hodnett and Betty Draper at- tended summer camp and brought new ideas for better routines. Aiding in those new routines were new red and white pom-poms To dress up their uniforms, the majorettes wore white jackets trimmed with black. b H _,.,jj : IrifSS ' U. -i ■ -■ -- rlf ' P ' IRi Ijglll Pom-pom Squad members are (FRONT ROW) LouAnn Hodnett, Charlotte Carter.

Have you ever stayed up all night because a friend saw a spider? That ' s w hat happened v hen the junior Varsity and Varsity Cheerleaders attended Randolph-Macon College this summer. Kelly Ewers would not go to bed be- cause she was afraid of small, creepy things. After returning from camp with a lot of new chants and cheers (but no spiders) and full of spirit, the JV ' s began their planning for the new season. They worked on old and new cheers when they met once a week in the summer. The girls were enthusiastic as these comments show: Sometimes competition was really tough be- tween the teams and this was all the more reason to yell louder and cheer harder. Homecoming was hectic, especially when there were a dozen or more people asking for something different to eat. Pep rallies sure were great this year. I was almost as excited when we did our skits as the crowd was! Hey, do you remember the parade and how we didn ' t decorate the float until the morning of the parade? I didn ' t think we were going to make it. These past two years as a JV cheerleader have really been great! I felt I was a part of something special. Sometimes a lot of people didn ' t come to the JV games, but it didn ' t really matter because we were there as a squad, cheering for a victory.

WE KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT WE KNOW WE ' RE NO. 1 In the closing seconds of the game with Dan River, Dan River was ahead by one point and Amy Pace was fouled A time out was called, and then the play resumed. Amy walked up to the line, the nervous twitch at the corner of her mouth the only break in her composure. Then, as if at prac- tice, she sank the first one. After jumping wildly all over the court, she walked cooly back and sank the other one which gave the Lancers their second victory. When you win only two games in a season, it helps to win with style. The team was led by senior captains, Charlene Elliott and Pam L Stegall Leading scorer was sophomore, Shirleen Perkins, who averaged 1 8, followed by Amy Pace with a 9 average.

Coach Jim Summey as he looked ahead said, Everybody ' s big. Each school just has a tremendous team. Victories weren ' t easy to ob- tain for any school in the district, and near the close of the season LP was third in the Piedmont District trailing behind Dan River and Martins- ville, which like usual was first. The last home game, on a Tuesday night, brought Laurel Park fans out in huge numbers. This game was against LP ' s rival, Martinsville. Fans were turn- ed away from the doors fifteen min- utes before the game because there was no more room. The Lancers took the lead in the first quarter and at the half had a nine point margin. At one time during the third quarter LP had a 12 point lead but fell two points behind at the end. In the fourth quarter, the Lancers pull- ed ahead by five points. When MHS rallied, LP did too. With eight seconds to go, MHS fouled LP ' s Ronnie Eg- gleston. He opened up the lead from two points to three, and at the sound of the buzzer the Lancers had won! Final score 58-55. The Lancers had done something no one else had done in two years, and it was the first time LP had de- feated MHS. The fans went wild. On the shoulders of the crowd, Darnell Brown and Ronnie Eggleston took down the nets. Coach Willie Martin accounted for LP ' s season success, The team and coaches gave 150% effort. The team played as Lancers, not as individuals.

Their first game was against Fieldale-Collinsville. The JV ' s took an early lead and led throughout the game. It was catch-up ball for FC all the way, and they pulled within two points before the buzzer sounded. It looked like a good season was com- ing, but although there were many near wins, there were no more vic- tories. Coach Noel Cook felt their problems were due to the small number of play- ers and their small size. A few injuries also hurt the team. Mark Wilson and Chris Carter led the team as the highest scorers. Jeff Clark and Chuck Ellis led with the most rebounds. RIGHT: Coming down with the rebound over Bassett is Jeff Clark.

They showed a lot of promise, they just needed to get some experience. The guy who played the boards (rebounds) this season was Charlie Gravely. Leading scorer was Lloyd Grave- ly, and the all-around hustler on the team was Derrick Hampton. This year ' s Ninth Grade team faced many problems. Their coach Mr. Randy Scott was tough and some of the guys couldn ' t stick it out. At the end of the season there were only five players left. The ones that hadn ' t quit had moved up to the JV team. Even with all these prob- lems, the team was able to post a season record of 4-7. ABOVE: The Baby Lancers get up for the rebound.

Floor exer- cises were hard, but funny sometimes, too, commented one student. We would get into some of the silliest positions while doing yoga exercises, but it was all a part of limber- ing up our muscles to perform properly. Routines for the even and uneven parallel bars, the vaulting box, the horse and the balance beam were made up by students themselves. Girls were also able to exhibit their creativity and express themselves in modern dance. Modern dance gave me a chance to be someone or something else. It was like an escape and it gave me a chance to tell a story through music and motions. LEFT: Costumed as beings from another world, Sandy Martin and Marilynne Martin dance to 2001 Space Odyssey.

Gymnastics Modern Dance 65 A good thing about wrestling is that all can participate, everyone gets a chance be- cause size makes no difference, but Coach Ray Harris added, strength does count. For Harris, a short-ranged dream is for wres- tling to become more competitive, and he would like to have thirty on varsity (which means three in each weight class). A big at- traction for some were the new wrestling mats and uniforms. The tournament which was held over a period of two days at Chat- ham placed the Varsity Wrestling team in sixth in the district and a final record of 2-5-1. Edward Crutcher, Stanley Hairston, Calvin Eggleston, David Cole, Ramie Mize, and Dennis Watkins went to regionals to repre- sent Laurel Park. How did the team feel about wrestling? I like it. It ' s a challenging, rough sport for men only. It ' s good to get you in shape and stay that way. It ' s different from football. In football you play as a team, but in wrestling when you are on the mat, it ' s just yourself. I like it because it requires strength, speed, and endurance. It also keeps me in shape for football. Edward Crutcher, who finished with a 8-1 record, was the team ' s best wrestler. Calvin Eggleston finished 7-1, Stanley Hairston fin- ished 6-3, Leo Hairston, who calls himself the American Dream, finished 5-3, and Dennis Watkins finished 5-4. ' T.

Expansion was the key word on the 1975- 76 KOINE staff The KOINE was enlarged to 192 pages — eight addition pages More color was also added to make the book nnore appealing The staff was ex- panded to 19 members By the end of the year there were six cameras on the staff, two staff cameras and four staff members ' cameras Many of the pictures by all these photographers were developed by the staff in Mrs Ginger Preston ' s basement There are hopes for a dark room to be put in the tiny lanitor ' s room the staff called our room Within those walls of our room were some very good times Birthdays were cele- brated to bring the large staff closer The cakes were a big attraction for members to drop by the room Cheescake was the fav- orite until one murmured doubtfully. I wish I could get to like cheesecake but I just can ' t. If the members had gotten any closer they would have been breathing down each others necks especially if the whole staff were in that tiny room at one time. After two trips together, the first to Longwood for the Delmars Yearbook Workshop and the second to U VA to receive another trophy for the KOINE, the staff got to know each quite well. The staff won the school door decorating contest and celebrated Christmas on the first Saturday of vacation Like any other staff, hours were spent after school working on the yearbook but when laughter could be heard coming from that tiny room, the staff knew it was to be their book TOP Business Manager Lynne Pyrtle adds up the number of yearbooks sold while Nan Wall adds up the amount of money turned in RIGHT At UVA.

Most of the changes seemed Jjy to bring a better newspaper in the eyes of most read- ' -j ers. Unlike in years past when a small staff and their sponsor,worked to finance as well as publish a good trs years Link had several new advantages of all. the newspaper was done entirely by the sm class. The class was taught for the first time giving a textbook approach to journalism as practical background through the publication bf the paper Yet this class-oriented paper had the dis- advantage of excluding many who wanted to write for the paper but could not take the class. Secondly, through the editor of the Henry County Journal, Ken Bradley, the paper was printed once each six weeks as an addition to the Journal. All of the area high schools were permitted to participate giving an op- portunity for all schools to have a virtually free paper. Individual copies were ten cents and most of this was profit. The Link was the very first to come out in this new form. Due to an increase to twenty-five students working on the paper. The Link expanded to include more opinion polls, new columns and generally expressed the feelings of a greater majority of students. Sponsor Ms Patricia Toler summed up her feelings about her work with the staff: I loved it . . it was new and more enjoyable. I had the type of students who really had an interest in journalism; so, we had fun as well as work. Jn CENTER Sponsor. Ms Patricia Toler. and editor.

There was often food to munch and when new members were initiated there were Spanish costumes, too. In April, the club celebrated Pan American Week with an assembly which featured traditional costumes, music and dancing And, it was during this week that the biggest fiesta was held on a Friday evening in the cafe- teria. There were gypsy fortune tellers, ghosts of famous Spaniards, dancing and tables of food. Spanish Club members were identified by their pins and by their red and white sweaters with the club emblem — El Toro. n March, they dressed in traditional cos- tumes once again and attended their an- nual banquet, featuring (you guessed it!) Spanish food for another fiesta.

Several FHA members worked on their Junior and Chapter Homemaker degrees, for which they worked on community projects and participated in all aspects of FHA. Food for America was a first-time project for the Future Farmers of America. FFA members visited four area elementary schools during February giving students in- struction on where food comes from, such as milk, meat, and bread. Twenty-five members received their Chapter Farmer Degrees at the February meeting. This was the highest degree given to club members Prerequisite for this degree was to be enrolled in agricul- ture for one year, have received Green-hand degree, and have given a demonstration of how to lead a group discussion for fifteen minutes. Highlights of FFA week, held in February, were radio spots over the local stations con- cerning information about FFA, as well as an assembly.

FHA FFA 83 Vocational Clubs Move Toward Co-Curricular Activities Look at that door, — it ' s really unusual! , or Ugh, that one is ugly! were some usual comments heard around LP as the FBLA sponsored door decorating contest got underway. The decorations ranged from quiet, humble designs to a door covered with newspapers and the words Bah, humbug stretched across it in bold, black letters. The gaily decorated doors around the school helped to boost a little Christ- mas cheer among the students and admin- istration As the day drew closer when the doors were to be judged and the winners announced, the artists added last minute touches to their masterpieces. The winners were first place — the Koine staff, second place — Mrs. Fuller ' s homeroom, and third place — Mrs. Harris ' classes. The FBLA also sponsored an Open House at Christmas to give business students a chance to become better acquainted. Then during Valentines week, the FBLA sold valentines as a fund raising project for the club Students could buy these for five cents and for five cents more could have them delivered to the addressee ' s homeroom The sale helped to remind stu- dents of an old lovers holiday which was gradually fading away because of neglect Later in the spring, the members gathered together with their guests to attend a ban- quet at which awards and certificates were presented An important community project for DECA was raising money for a family at Laurel Park High School whose house had been destroyed by fire.

At one meeting Mr Hairston hooked the members together to 400 volts of elec- tricity At another meeting Jeffrey Amos demonstrated a volcano erupting The club met only during the time assigned on club days and felt that this inspired interest and attendance. We really had fun in Science Club this year, because we finally did something I liked the Science Club this year better than any other year, and plus we even ordered Science Club pins Getting hook- ed-up to the electricity machine was some- thing completely new, and I really thought It was fun.

One student says: I enter the school and after going at a snail ' s pace up the hall to my locker, I meet my friends and we walk around the halls until the bell rings. (One soon learns that his life will revolve around the ringing of a bell.) It never fails; no matter where I am in the school, I manage to just slip through the door of homeroom before the tardy bell rings. During homeroom the realization that I ' m in school hits me. I start to worry about how many times I ' ll make a fool of myself in advanced composition. By the time I ' m half way through worrying, the announcements come on. The bell rings. I head for first period. There, in ad- vanced comp, I succeed in amazing myself by putting my foot in my mouth thirty-eight times. I usually see one of my friends turn red an average of four times while another sleeps. The bell rings. Second period is not very exciting. I usually end up daydreaming about college and leaving. Sometimes I am abruptly awakened by whispered words What time is it? The bell rings. Third period is the most dangerous class for me. If the mathematics teacher could only hear my friends and me. We all watch anxiously, trying to guess how many times the teacher will mark herself with chalk before the class is over. The bell rings. LEFT; For the woman-less beauty pageant.

I help teach eighth grade P.E. classes. They get thrilled when I let them in on parts of my life. It ' s hard to believe that I acted the same when I was that age. I now feel that there should be some sudden rush of wisdom and understanding since I ' m a senior, but there ' s not. I ' m still me, con- fused but hopeful. Sixth period is my favorite class, Drama. I ' ve learned about acting, makeup, lighting, props, and still have had a fantastic time. We caused a bit of a stir when people walked by the classroom and saw us lying on the floor in the dark pretending to be sandbags, and when we roamed the halls made up as witches. The bell rings. I head home for an evening of study. Don ' t tell anybody, but I enjoy it. TOP LEFT; The climax of Homecoming ' 75 is when Ihe reigning queen, Linda Wilson, crowns LouAnn Hndnett.

BELOW: For Pam Stegall, Alan Vaughan, and Sharon Garst the acting in drama class never stops. The senior year in high school has meant privileges such as a senior lounge, lots of projects and fun together, but not this year. The Class of 76 had no senior lounge, only one class project by January and to judge by the complainers, not very much fun. The senior lounge was non-existent because of lack of space and because previous classes had been too loose with the privilege, but there was the chance to be first in line for lunch and sometimes the seniors were able to march out of assemblies before the underclassmen mobbed the aisles.

In one short year there is too much to be done. I just couldn ' t wait to become a senior because it seemed that sen- iors had more fun and being the oldest was really something, but it hasn ' t been that way at all for us. We didn ' t have many privileges, but there is at least one thing for sure, we will be able to march in and out first during graduation. 100 Senior statistics Club 9; SCA 8. 9, 10. 11; FBLA Secretary 11.

Several seniors said just before Christmas that their junior year had been their best year in high school; so, the KOINE staff asked Juniors, So, what ' s so good about being a Junior? Typically, the answers were varied — some way out in left field, some the same old well-worn cliches, but here are some of them: I ' m almost finished! I can go to the prom if someone asks me. Got my class ring — no, my girlfriend has it, I had it a couple of days. The boys grew up. We ' re looked up to a little. No one says eleventh graders; they say juniors. No more math!

I ' m so excited. This conversation was repeated again and again by the excited juniors on the day their class rings arrived. They clustered in the halls and class- rooms comparing stones, sizes, and prices. And, a few heads felt the weight of a new 1977, 10 carat gold class ring. The ritual of rings may occur every year, but the excitement doesn ' t diminish and juniors realized that the rings were another step to- ward graduation. u X H O P H oi « !. ■ •-- 4 xis«Hfri.vj Alvin Grey Carl Hagwood ' %;!7t H Susan Hairfield Tim Hairfield FreUa Hairston Gwen Hairston James Hairston JeFf Hairston Karen Hairston Stanley Hairston Merenda Haislip Patty Hall Brandon Hines Billy Hodge Michele Hodge Robin Hodge Steve Hollandsworth Jimmy Hundley Russell Hundley Ronald Inge Cindy Inman Carlene Jamison Curtis Jefferson Barbara Jones Brenda Jones Rodney Kealts Beverly Keen Kenneth Keen Keith Kendall Mihon Kendall Douglas Kirby Jackie Kitts Billy Lankford Deborah Lawerence Cathy Lewis Wanda Likens Frances Long Peggy Lopez Mark McBride Annie McDonald Brenda McMillian Diane McMillian Janie McMillian Linda McMillian Bobbi Jean Marti fe.Ai ' irfl ft fc t£ y M . . k- f f ' Junior Rakes Chris Ratcliff Darin Redd Terry Register Barbara Reynolds Cindy SecresI Michael Self Patty Simpson Margaret Sizemore Billy Slate Jasper Stockton Tommy Stone William Terry Jerry Thacker Elbert Thompson RIGHT: During her fifth period study hall, Annie McDonald helfjs with filing.

Realizing that in order to attend college they had to take them, the juniors felt a little uneasy. Some juniors, wanting to make a high score, began finding material that concerned the college boards to get a general idea of what would appear on the test. Others said, If I don ' t make a high score, I ' m not worried because I at least tried.

There were mixed emotions about sophomore classes. Gram- mar! Yuck! I ' ll bet I ' ve seen more grammar exercises this year than I have in all my other years of school together. Geometry is easier than algebra. Now, when I prove something, I have to be a legal secretary, and taking these courses makes me feel that I ' m accomplishing something. We have book reports to do all the time, but I guess that ' s good, because I probably wouldn ' t have ever read a collection of short stories if it hadn ' t been required.

When the bell rings, I go to homeroom and wait for first period to begin. To pass time I check out the announcements. Then when the bell rings, I go to my locker and get my Spanish book and go to Spanish class. I sit in there and talk Spanish until the bell rings for second period. I go to P.E. and run myself to death and when it ' s time to go to biology, I ' m tired and I just sit and listen and write. Fourth period there ' s English and lunch. I read a little Shakespeare and then eat. When the bell rings for fifth period. I go back to my locker for my algebra book. After algebra I go to study hall and play dots or do my homework. Then after study hall I go home. That ' s what happens usually. In spite of the biting cold Traci Hill Some freshmen go trom day to day never getting involved or having anything happen that ' s ex- citing. But Chris McVey had at east one out-of-the-ordinary ex- senence. My most unusual experience was being thrown in the shower twice in the same afternoon. It all started as I walked into the varsity locker room right after football practice. Just as I stepped in the door, I was grabbed by three people who will remain anonymous for personal reasons. These three all. My second dousing occured after I had dressed and was getting my books out of my locker.

A bright spot in many freshmen ' s year is initiation into either the French or Spanish Club. Nancy Cook described initiation day this way: For the first time in my life, I had a terrific time making a fool of myself. When I thought I would be eating, I found myself on a table top crowing, ' Cock-a-doodle-doo, I love you. ' And although I was always taught to respect my elders. I found myself singing insults, making proposals, and sticking out my tongue at any poor soul who happened to walk by. This included some teachers. Wearing an old dress too big for me, two different shoes that were also too big for me, and having my hair in ten pigtails and freckles on my face, I had a most un- usual day.

At the beginning of the year he wanted to speed through not even staying long enough to have fun. His friendships made the difference between past and present. As he thought back to his junior year, he rennembered the prom where he and his date along with many other juniors and seniors enjoyed A Summer Place. Not long after that his class marched to the front of the middle section of the auditorium taking the place of the Class of ' 75 as they assembled on stage to share a song, throw carnations (class flower) to the audience, and cry over leaving. Their senior play, I Never Saw Another Butterfly, had received a standing ovation on all three performances. He hoped his class play, A Portrait of Jennie, would do as well.

President Ford also found substitutes for cabinet members Schlesinger and Cobly — Rumsfield and Bush. Laurel Park made only one substitution but added seven teachers and two student teachers, Mr. R. T. Morris and Ms Louise Early. But this wasn ' t the long and short of things. In fact, the long of things turned out to be in fashion Skirts were back below the knee. The Trend was neck scarves, midi skirts and dresses, platforms, and the number one — blue jeans. The short of things turned out to be curly hair — for white stu- dents this time who needed chemical help to keep their hair in curls. But more popular than fashions and hair styles were Fonzie of Happy Days, the Waltons, and Rich Man, Poor Man; Ann Landers column, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Main- tenance, and Helter-Skelter.

This year had been their first really good basketball season Cheerleaders had pro- vided pep rallies with skits that were the best yet. It had been his class that had won the pep stick at most of the rallies But. his class was stripped of all but a few privileges. The main beef was no senior lounge. Even the smoking area was restricted Only eighteen year olds were allowed to smoke there. Countless times he had entered smoke filled bathrooms in spite of teachers ' efforts to patrol them.

His school was only six years old, and it was true that the building leaked, the air-conditioning and heat- ing system often worked when they shouldn ' t, and it was getting crowded. But it was kept clean and the vanda- lism that plagued many schools was still at a minimum. The school had become a meeting place. For the second time, the Re- gional Band performed here. The Forensics One-Act play was perform- ed here. Cross Country ' s Piedmont District Meet was here. Just as summer began, the tennis courts were completed. Because of the seat- ing number, the gym was the place for the basketball tournament The volleyball tournament in the spring was at LP because of the central location.
