Fifty-fiver Laurens District 55 High School Princeton Road P.O. Box 309 Laurens, South Carolina 29360 Volume 10 1981-1982 After a grand-slam, the team gathers around the plate to congratulate James Simpson on a winning run. mmm Thinking only of improving his agility and coordination, Mike Hughes glides through the ropes. When asked which class was the best at the pep rally, Lynn James, Lori Seymour, and Letherenda Gibbs cried, “Juniors!” 2 Shifting Into High Shifting Into High Ten years — thousands of individual faces in the crowd, four classes into one unit, a reputation for pride and zest — had passed since the doors opened to the first autumnal eruption of energy. With fresh tenacity to succeed, 1690 students surged into the pods. Each paid for achievement with sweaty practices or midnight studies; every hour was vindicated by making the state volleyball playoffs or holding the “A + ” English essay. When the football team held top-ranked Greenwood to its worst showing and when the Raider Band earned superior-rated status from its contest performances, the spirit of achievement exploded. Victories and setbacks confronted individuals whose (Continued on page 4) At the Clinton pep rally, Johnna Hamilton matches the enthusiasm of her classmates during “Raider Rock.” Leaving Chaucer behind.

Shifting Into High 3 Shifting Into High (Continued from page 3) vitality and exertion exemplified their goals — reaching for new self-precedence and school importance, the ultimate prestige of spirit. Each consequence marked the beginning of renewed exertion aimed further. For every person, meeting challenges and building pride symbolized mastery. Seized energy expanded into a year of excitement. An intense spirit of the body swept forward. The intricate plan to construct a fresh layer of enthusiasm on top of tradition — shifting into high. Playing against Ninety-Six, Crystal Irby bumps the ball backward over the net. 4 Shifting Into High As the cheerleaders complete a cheer, Victor displays his enthusiasm by clapping with the routine of the cheer. Before time for the band to hit the field again, Allen Shell takes a moment to relax and finish his Gatorade. While polishing up the kicking team, these varsity players fire off the ball during a punting drill. While the horn line drills to “Hello Again,” percussionists Del Burton and David Trammel keep a steady beat. Realizing the first football game is only a day away. Rock Kennedy and Allen Shell sharpen the execution of their low mark-time. Shifting Into High 5 Soaring School until 2:50, practice until 5:30, dinner around 6:00, meeting until 8:00, homework until 10:00 .. . where does the time go? All of this combined to make up student life. School did not end for many students when graduation and summer vacation rolled around last year. Club meetings, football practice, weightlifting, band practice, and cheerleading practice kept students involved with the school. With school back in session, students still seemed able to squeeze in activities along side homework. The school alone offered various ways to get involved — clubs, journalism staffs, school helpers, class elections, and guest speakers. Musically inclined students enjoyed chorus and band. Interrelated school activities apart from class hours offered field trips, bus driving, and athletic students took advantage of the wide range of options such as track, basketball, and football. On lazy Saturday and Sunday afternoons, students often congregated outside of school for their own entertainment with intramural games. For the most part, weekends were full. Going to the game and dances at the YMCA were popular ways to spend a Friday night. On Saturdays, Clemson, Carolina, or Georgia fans invariably headed to the football stadium. Other night spots were Chancey’s, Skate-Away USA, Oaks Cinema, or McDonald’s. Virtually overflowing with choices, student life offered a wide horizon of activities. Time schedules were set in order to keep everything running smoothly. As school played a vital part in every students life, keeping up was essential, and student life kept soaring. As pep rally competitors race to mummify their archrival — the “Red Devil,” Mike Matthews listens to deafening cries for senior victory. 6 Student Life The woodwinds now have a minute to relax while the brass march. Unhooking her saxophone, Tammy Babb sits in her exact spot and looks over her music. During the singing of the Alma Mater, varsity football players show their school pride by saluting at the song’s end. Student Life 7 Romance is alive tonight as Gayland Smallwood and Mari Carpenter pause from dancing to chat. Working on their assigned jobs, members of the Prom Decorating Committee transform the gym into an elegant dance hall. Glancing around the room for friends, Carroll Cook and Lisa Lawson arrive at the prom. 8 Prom Many hands make light work as Tina Bell, Shannon Holland, and Edna Allen pitch in to help decorate for the prom. With everyone formally attired, couples like Dale Adams and Mark Armstrong take the opportunity to dance. A Time For Us” is drawing near Susan Hall, Eddie Wilson, and work at white-washing the gazebo. Highlight By Celebration Daydreams of the upcoming night occupied most juniors’ and seniors’ minds on April 11,1981. Hastening in preparation, students had begun planning weeks ahead of this actual date. In anticipation of the night ahead, guys washed the family car and hurried to pick up their tuxedos. Finding smaller activities more demanding, the girls busied themselves fixing their hair, painting their nails, and trying on their evening gowns. Much forethought and preparation went into this second school-sponsored prom. Parents, teachers, administrators, maintenance, and all classes helped with decorations. A prom committee was selected, and the Home Economics department provided most of the refreshments. In charge of the music, Mr. Gayle Gulick selected the band “Celebra- tion” as the feature band. Coach Ed Prescott headed secur- ity for the evening. Donating a generous amount, the Key Club provided funds for the event while ticket sales com- pleted the budget. When 8:00 finally arrived, close to 318 people filled the gymnasium in their finery. Blue sky and a brilliantly- colored rainbow stretched across one wall while the theme “A Time For Us” spanned the other wall. The success of the prom required teamwork from every- one. Undoubtedly, prom night was a highlight to store along with other special memories. Prom 9 During the first week of practice, Pam Smith works on her overhand serve. Summer means money for people like Pam Edwards, who works at McDonald’s during her vacation. After a vigorous day of practice, junior varsity players Earl Byrd and Bubba Rawls give a harmonious sigh of relief. Adventuring to the top, Denise Caruso and Christine Wood strive to originate a new pyramid formation to perform at the upcoming pep rally. 10 Summer Months While his teammates polish up their blocking skills, William Kilgore acts as a defensive end. During a sweltering afternoon practice in August, Ricky Foggie and William Kilgore watch their teammates review a punting drill. The Long-Awaited Season Summer days, full of sunshine, relaxation, and recrea- tion, marked the end of another school year. For many, it staked a beginning of another summer of work. Work con- sisted not only of jobs at Hardee’s, Belk, and Laurens Glass but also of preparation for the upcoming school year. To perfect skills and marching routines, band members spent numerous summer hours practicing drills at the high school. Members of both the band and the cheerlead- ing squads attended camps at Newberry College, Furman University, and Columbia College. Squads focused on perfection in their respective areas. Readying themselves for a rigorous fall schedule, foot- ball players trained consistently. A little further away from home, students chosen to attend Boys’ and Girls’ State expanded their ideas at the Citadel and the Uni- versity of South Carolina, respectively. Also, sixteen French enthusiasts ventured to London and Paris to ex- plore monuments and museums and to enjoy other aspects of the French culture. Summer vacation ended as rapidly as it had begun. With renewed vitality, students prepared to reapply themselves to their work and to school-oriented activities. Relaxation and recreation were postponed as students readied them- selves for the new school year. During an intense day of rehearsal, band captain Tim Wiley stops to catch his breath. Summer Months 11 Life After Dark Life after dark did not simply refer to activities which occurred after dark. Night life required daring, exciting, and fun-loving attitudes. With all of this in mind, students found many chokes available. Possibilities offered a night out on the town, a party with a bunch of crazy friends, or just a quiet evening at home with someone special. For the adventurous person, scouting the town seemed inviting. With three places to catch the latest flick, a good movie became an alternative. For a little more exercise and perhaps a few more bruises, Skate-Away U.S.A. attracted both speed-skaters and disco-skaters. Community and civic organizations also supplied many forms of entertainment. After home football games, the Y.M.C.A. sponsored dances with a disc jockey from the high school. On occasions, churches in the area provided cookouts and social gatherings. Some students simply decided to relax at home after a tiresome week. Topping the list as a constant item of attraction was television. Friends often dropped by to share an evening and perhaps to enjoy a favorite record or tape. People have their own definition of fun for the weekends. As long as students work during the week with homework and tests, there will always be life after dark. After the Henry Laurens Invitational Marching Hand Contest, Carla Hill shares some of the day’s activities with Beth Ann Cooper while waiting to be served at the concession stand. Spending his Friday night at the theater, Mike Sharp sees Raiders of the Lost Ark for the fourth time. ■sssSSa2 .. 12 Night Life To start their evening, Beth and Lisa McCarter enjoy a meal at their favorite fast-food restaurant. Night Life 13 Glad that the weekend is finally here, Steve Wallace, Sammy Leamon, and Charles Shelton visit McDonald’s. A Faster Pace Passing by the maze on Princeton Highway during the summer, students often heard echoes in their heads of “And now class, read pages ...” In the fall, these echoes became reality. In a frenzy, students rushed to buy school supplies and, even more importantly, school clothes! All students flooded the malls and department stores, taking their par- ent’s credit cards to the limit and virtually handing the Nike Company a mint. Beach towels were hung out to dry; summer jobs re- ceeded to part-time jobs or diminished completely; and family vacations and other excursions became only memories. Adjustments needed to be made, and many old habits had to be broken. Alarm clocks became a necessity and mad dashes were made for the bathroom. All of this, plus changing clothes several times to select the perfect outfit, added to the preparation for the first day of school. An important part of student life was the ride to school. The school bus had to be caught on time, or carpools needed to be established. No one wanted to be late on the first day of school. When the 8:00 bell finally rang, the excitement peaked. Most students could not wait to see their old friends and some new faces too. The entire pace quickened as winter sports, clubs, and other afternoon activities began. In their individual and unique ways, each student found an outlet to demonstrate his school spirit. Everything came to life the moment stu- dents poured into the school. With the beginning of school, students saw a challenge placed before them and found it necessary to put many things aside. The time had arrived to get involved in stu- dent life and to gear up for a faster pace. Sitting in commons, substitute bus driver Christine Wood occupies her time by reading. 14 Return To School Contemplating which book to select, Lori Seymour and Kim McGill each skim through a book to make an appropriate choice. Helping a student with the translation of a phrase, Mr. Ralph Brown stops to see who is at the door.

Vice Versa Down, Set, Hut; these cadences rang out over the foot- ball field on October 27, as the senior and junior girls com- peted in the traditional powderpuff game. At the begin- ning the juniors took over the ball and scored a touchdown after a few plays in the first quarter. Determined to retali- ate, seniors kept up their strategy throughout the game and emerged with a 14-12 win in the last few seconds of the game. Prior to the game, the girls had been coached by mem- bers of the varsity football team. Throughout the game, a squad of males masquerading as female cheerleaders pro- voked laughter and rallied spirit with cheers. For halftime activities, senior girls escorted the guys of their choice onto the field for the crowning of the Powder- puff King and Prince. The senior class chose Gerald Fog- gie, Prince, and Freddie Bagwell, King. With roles reversed, both male and female encountered new experiences. For the spectator, difficulty came in de- ciding whether to watch the players or the cheerleaders. Part of the evening’s anticipation is finally over as Giselle Bailey crowns Freddie Bagwell Powderpuff King. Powderpuff 17 On Costume Day, Carla Lawson shows her spirit by dressing as a punk rocker. After the announcement of the Queen, chorus members April Coleman, John Calwile, Giselle Bailey, Melissa Kirk, Freddie Bagwell, Jody Hanvey, Carolyn Mills and Sonya Sims perform The Commodores’ “Something to Remember.” Dressed as an Indian, Angie Stewart prepares to go to her locker before the first bell rings. 18 Homecoming Homecoming Queen and Court: Kelly Brewster, Sophomore Princess; Patty Lanford, Junior Princess; Susan Boiter, Homecoming Queen; Shannon Holland, Senior Princess; and Melody Griffin, Freshman Princess. Something to Remember An in-school holiday with festivities scattered through- out an entire week ... Homecoming! Playing powderpuff, performing skits, sending flowers, watching football, and crowning queens — all these events went into making up Homecoming. Beginning with 50’s day, students dressed up for dress- up day, bum day, green and gold day, and costume day in relevance to Halloween. To finance Homecoming, senior and junior girls met on Tuesday night for a close-scoring powderpuff game. Switching roles with the girls, some of the boys paraded around as female cheerleaders. A bonfire followed the game along with skits presented by different clubs. On the evening of Homecoming, October 24, the stadium crowds of friends, relatives, sponsors, and the Homecom- ing court waited in anticipation of the upcoming events. At halftime, student council members brought out the dec- (continued on page 20) At the water fountain between classes, Jami Lyon tells Johna Staggs and Melissa Kirk how she put together her “Fifties Day” outfit. Homecoming 19 (continued from page 19) Something to Remember orations they had prepared to the theme of “Something to Remember.” For entertainment, choral students sang a composed song to compliment the occasion. Announcing the senior football players, their representatives, and their sponsors, the homecoming court progressed onto the field. Last year’s queen, Tina Bell, came to say her last farewell and listened with the crowd as the announcer called the names of Melody Griffin, Freshman Princess, Kelly Brewster, Sophomore Princess, Patty Lanford, Junior Princess, and Shannon Holland, Senior Princess. Finally, the moment arrived as Tina crowned the new Homecoming Queen, Susan Boiter. Ending the night the varsity team lost 13-14. As the decorations were taken down and discarded, many people kept flowers to press and programs to save for “Something to Remember.” 20 Homecoming Sophomore Princess: Kelly Brewster. Junior Princess: Patty Lanford. At halftime, newly-crowned queen Susan Boiter listens to the cheers of friends in the stands. Homecoming 21 Finding out what each package contains. Patricia Madden carefully selects her frame. Finally deciding which set of announcements to buy, Ann Latimore fills out her order form. Shouts of Joy As graduation grew nearer and nearer, seniors, who had been anticipating this event of joy since first grade, were preparing for their moment of triumph. In a confused daze, they walked around hoping to get everything per- fect, from the caps and gowns of green and gold down to the invitations. When the big event finally arrived, seniors realized that this would be the last time they would stand together as one. As the principal called each senior — one by one — to receive his diploma, all were silent. Nothing could be heard except the voice of the principal, and the applause of the audience, which seemed to grow louder with each name. While the Alma Mater played especially for the graduating seniors, the whole senior class reached for each others’ hands and stood united together for one last time. As the music faded, a cloud of green seemed to rise in the air as every senior lifted his cap to the clear blue sky. Shouts of joy could be heard as anxious parents gathered to congratulate their children. Some seniors, on the other hand, could be heard crying and huddling together as they said their last goodbyes. As the crowded stadium began to settle, the seniors could be seen walking away with the satisfaction of having a good education, a sense of responsibility, and an eagerness to succeed. The lights went out, the gates were locked, and still they were one. Before returning their trays. Shannon Holland, Robbie Childress, and Ron Sandlass discuss their plans for the prom. 22 Graduation Graduation 23 Listening to Josten's representative, Mike Hair and Pam Edwards receive information on graduation materials.

Although they might appear uniform on the surface, each individual is a person unto himself. Each person has different interests, whether they excel in sports, music, or the arts. For individuality, school offered many different outlets in athletics, in curricular activities, in clubs, and in organizations. Students had choices in elective courses from Home Economics to Agriculture or from band and chorus to Electricity and Automotive Mechanics. These courses were designed to give students an idea of which field they might like to pursue or to help each one reach his educational goals. People varied in tastes outside the school walls even more than they did during school hours. Their hobbies, jobs, and pastimes spread throughout the community. Many students had part time jobs that ranged from bagboy and cashier to bus driver and short order cook. Studying full time, some students spent most of their working hours preparing for upcoming tests and college entrance exams. On the other hand, relaxing or playing sports took up time of students with commitments elsewhere. All these different functions caused everyone to grow stronger and become well-rounded. With students participating together in numerous activities, stereotypes seemed inevitable. Nevertheless, people held on to their individuality. At the homecoming pep rally, Cassandra Cook, Lisa McCarter, Mary Sinclair, Patty Landford and Johna Staggs demonstrate how the Wade Hampton girls prepare for a date. 24 People During a rehearsal of Dorothy and Toto in Oz, drama director, Miss Jimmi Ann Carnes, views the actors and gives constructive criticism. People 25 The Grand Finale The Grand Finale and a student’s senior year — both contained a cli- max and ending. After eleven school years, many students reveled in grad- uating and following career goals. For those students going to college, the climax centered on changing atmospheres and seeking knowl- edge of their own choosing. Sym- bolizing an ending, senior portraits, keys, and caps and gowns all had a final sounding. In preparation for the difficulties ahead, students sought information. Material regarding college costs and acceptance requirements concerned students pursuing higher educa- tions, while career availability and demand interested seniors joining the working force. Although their intended goals may have been different, each stu- dent found being a senior meant de- cisions. As graduation approached, 384 seniors realized the importance of this Grand Finale — their final year which would determine the out- come of their futures.

This certainly held true for Susan Hall and Mike Patter- son who were voted this year’s Mr. and Miss Fifty-fiver. “I can’t believe it! Who got Mr. Fif- ty-fiver?” exclaimed Susan when she learned that the student body has chosen her. Although Susan participated in many organizations, she also enjoyed music, arts and crafts. After graduation, Susan says she will probably attend Winthrop College and major in home eco- nomics or interior design. “This is something else. It’s a one in a million miracle,” said Mike after being told he had been selected as the new Mr. Fifty-fiver. Also having participated in many clubs, Mike’s hobbies include horticulture, sports, and music. With plans to major in chemical engineering, Mike has been accepted to Clemson Uni- versity.

I thought to myself, ‘What did I do wrong?’” This statement came from Susan Boiter after being told she had been chosen Miss Senior. At school, Susan cheered for the football team along with participat- ing in the French Club, Science Club, Key Club, FCA, Honor Society, Chorus, and holding the position of senior representative for the Stu- dent Council. Apart from her stud- ies, Susan enjoyed music, and she hopes to pick up her piano lessons again. Also, in her busy schedule, she liked to sew, “when I have the time.” After graduation, Susan plans to attend Clemson University with her tentative major being en- gineering. When questioned about her career choice, Susan stated, “I would like to do something unique that only a few people are qualified to do, such as working at a nuclear power plant.” With intentions of resuming her piano lessons, Susan Boiter practices in her spare time. 30 Seniors Jim Carter Denise Caruso Art Cassidy Tammy Cathcart Barbara Cheeks Robert Childress Scott Childress Elaine Choice Lucy Diane Choice Robert Clark Jerry Cobb Kim Coburn Foster Robert Burton: Wrestling 9, 10, 11, 12; Pep Club 9, 10, 11, 12.

Selected as one of the top ten in the competition, Lesesne said, “I en- joyed meeting new people and mak- ing lots of friends more than being involved with the competition itself. But I have a lot of memories Pll al- ways treasure. Really, who else would be crazy enough to be in a flower pageant and be allergic to flowers?” Seniors 33 Summer Debate Forfeiting a week out of the sum- mer to study governement and draw up bills — some students would hesitate to make this trade. This, however, did not apply to Susan Hall and Christine Wood who readily took up the opportunity to attend Girls’ State at the University of South Carolina. Elected for their lead- ership and academic abilities, Susan and Christine received invitations to participate in these activities. At Columbia, each girl partici- pated in passing mock laws and giv- ing political speeches. The highlight of the week stood out in giving each girl a chance to run for state office. After campaigning, both girls were elected as state representatives. Another highlight which made an impression on Susan was, “We had tea at the Governor’s Mansion with Mrs. Riley, and we even had to wear white gloves.” In addition to the Governor’s Mansion, the girls vis- ited the State House. When asked how she felt about this tour, Chris- tine Wood exclaimed, “I had never visited either place before. That makes the trip, by itself, worth- while!” New friends, knowledge, and sights added to the list of opportuni- ties at Girls’ State. Defining this ex- perience simply, Susan Hall said, “Girls’ State combines learning with fun.” Pointing out an example of the book’s satiric tone, Susan Hall waits for Christine Wood to read the paragraph.

Back Row: William Byrd, Thomas Yeargin and Ricky Tingle. Marching into lunch, throwing food — this sounds like a scene from Animal House. Actually, these were only minute experiences compared to the many ones that students ex- perienced 'at Palmetto Boys’ State. For an entire week in June, Tim Sumerel, Ricky Tingle, William Byrd, Thomas Yeargin, Mike Mat- thews, and Mike Patterson visited the Citadel, in Charleston, for Boys’ State. Responding to invitations sponsored by the American Legion, these students went to become more enlightened with the policies of state, and municipal governments. Treated much the same as cadets, the boys bunked in the barracks. Throughout the week, they were en- tertained by political speakers, in- Charleston eluding Senator Strom Thurmond and Senator Fritz Rollings. Apart from the main purpose, other activi- ties ranged from volleyball and tug- of-war to display of spirit and inspec- tions of the city. Basically, however, most activi- ties revolved around political proce- dures. Mock political rallies were organized, and all students were able to campaign and run for offices, like real elections. Then the elected officers tried to write mock constitu- tions and bills. On the last day, Boys’ State combined with Girls’ State and met in Columbia. At the capitol, the elected senators and representa- tives were allowed to enter the house chambers and vote on the bills that had been proposed.

From thirty-three players on each team, Gerald Foggie repre- sented Laurens District 55 High School. Getting to know the coaches, giving interviews, and doing agility drills filled the first days of practice. On Friday, December 11, the two teams met for the final showdown at -Wilder Stadium. When asked about participating in the game, Gerald re- plied, “It was a challenge for me to show my skills, and I feel it was a great experience.” Due to his absence from school to practice for the All-Star game, Gerald Foggie’s school work accumulated. 38 Seniors Donnv Ray Henderson: DECA 11; Pep Club 9, 10, 11, 12; Football 10.

While many peo- ple enjoy hunting doves, quail, and rabbit, other extremists hunt exotic animals. Close to Whitmire, Kerry and Kevin Ridley helped their father manage a wild game reserve. Serv- ing as guides, their responsibilities included tending to all types of ani- mals such as Russian wild boars, and Angora and Spanish goats. Im- ported from Africa, Greece, and Rus- sia, those unusual animals differed greatly in price. For two years, the Ridleys have been in the game reserve business. When asked what he liked best about his job, Kerry stated “being out- doors because I myself enjoy hunting.” In the library, Kerry and Kevin Ridley discuss the reopening of the game reserve.

She knew that her choice would re- volve around music, “but I’m not sure exactly what,” she explained. One of the fields she considered fo- cused on concert piano. She started her piano lessons at the age of six. When asked about her lessons, Vonne stated, “I wasn’t too in- terested in them at first; but as I grew older and more experienced, I grew to love it. When I’d hear some- one playing, I knew I wanted to do Before the chorus Christmas concerts, Vonne Prince puts in many hours of practice at the piano. something that would have to do with music.” Vonne enjoys classical music most, her favorite composer being Beethoven. Since the seventh grade, Vonne has played for choruses in- cluding the Lyric Choir and Trouba- dors; at performances she gained stage experience. “It has gotten to the point where I’m not even ner- vous anymore,” stated Vonne. This fall, Vonne plans to attend Presbyterian College; she feels sure her major will take on some type of musical status. With all her high school experiences behind her, Vonne might just become a concert pianist.

Freddie started his music career by playing the drums and singing in a gospel group. He also sang lead in a five-member band called Southern Express. As a member of this band, Freddie played the piano, bass and the drums. Since the fifth grade, he has par- ticipated in school choral programs. However, Freddie’s list of perfor- mances contained many more than those done in church or at school concerts. Singing with other chorus students at a number of homecom- ing games, Freddie also sang at Pow- derpuff and the last varsity football game. Through writing his own songs, Freddie found music a form of com- munication. He said that, “Whereas some people can express themselves by writing or talking, music is my way of getting my feelings across to others.” Rehearsing “Tonight” from West Side Story, Freddie Bagwell sings tenor in Concert Choir.

Young men ranging from the ages of eighteen to forty-five were required to sign up in case of a national emergency. After their eighteenth birthday, young men had thirty days in which to register. Failure to sign up war- ranted a serious federal offense, with the maximum penalty being five years in jail, $10,000 fine, or both. On the form, necessary informa- tion included name of parent or guardian, job, sex, phone number, disabilities, and social security num- ber. Therefore, when going to sign up, social security cards, drivers’ licenses, and birth certificates were necessary for proper information and identification. The government designated the local Post Office as the registration station for each area. In order to keep from ending up in jail or losing a few thousand dollars, young men did not overlook draft registration. Along with different classes, sports and extra curricular activities, draft registration fitted in as a part of the senior schedule. Due to the fact that Lee Edge is now eighteen and required to register, the poster on the bulletin board is of special concern to him.

While most of the seniors wrote the paper for a required assignment, others actually enjoyed writing a paper to be entered in the Voice of Democracy contest. Winning a hundred dollar savings bond, Mike Matthews placed first in the contest. Commenting about his selection, Mike said, “I was both sur- prised and delighted with winning the competition.” Receiving fifty dollar savings bonds, Tim Sumerel and Vonne Prince took second and third place, respectively. For the time they put into their papers, students received a major test grade. Also by writing essays, students had an opportunity to voice their personal feelings on how to im- prove their country. After the halls are clear, Mike Matthews remains in the library to perfect his essay.

London and Paris . .. but what happened to Rome? Really, who would complain after having the chance to tour these two foreign cities? Certainly not the sixteen stu- dents and teachers who toured Saint Paul’s Cathedral, Westminister Abbey, the Tower Of London, and Windsor Castle last summer. After taking a ferry to Rouen and visiting the Place Jeanne d’Arc, the group continued to Paris. They saw historical land marks of both Lon- don and Paris along with other groups taking part in the American Institute for Foreign Study program. Outside Windsor C'astle in England, the group traveling in Europe relaxes while waiting for the bus.

Is it Steve Mar- tin? No, it’s Robby Childress and Ron Sandlass causing commotion and laughter in the halls as they per- form their impersonations for close friends. By listening to Steve Martin tapes and watching the Benny Hill Show, Ron and Robby got their start memorizing not only lines but also actions of these comedians. Their own impersonations turned out to be a big hit with their friends. Ron stated, “I like to make people happy and more comfortable when they are around me.” So, if you’re looking for Benny Hill or Steve Mar- tin for a good laugh, Ron and Robby will be right around the corner. After the last bell rings, Robbie Childress stops by Activity 3 to make sure Ron Sandlass doesn’t leave school before they 0 . run through their routine. 52 Seniors Cathv Wasson Hilda Watts Robert Bernard Tribble: Pep Club 9,10,11,12; Spirit Committee 11.

He is living with Hack Brown during his 10 month stay in America. Staffan became involved with a program known as the American Scandinavian student exchange. To be eligible to come to school in Amer- ica, he had to submit an essay, re- port cards, and teacher references, along with a personal interview. Then the committee selected a fami- ly for him that would best suit his personal needs. Staffan’s special interests include music and athletics. He enjoys such sports as running, back packing, soc- cer, track events, cross-country skiing, and football. Although many sports are the same in the two countries, the school systems are totally different. In Sweden, students go to school for only nine years. However when questioned about his present loca- tion, Staffan said, “I really like school and all the people.” After lunch, Staffan Zilling talks to some friends about his home city, Eskilstuna, Sweden 54 Seniors Valerie Williams Yancy Williams Eric Wilson Christine Wood Keith Wood Natalie Wood Kim Word Susan Word Marvin Wrenn Thomas Yeargin Susan Youmans Sherry Young Iresa Levone Whitmire: Chorus 9, 10, 11, 12; DECA 12; Pep Club 9, 10, 11, 12.

Seniors 55 One Step Closer Being “just a junior” is an under- statement from any eleventh grad- er’s point of view. Becoming a junior automatically brought many advan- tages along with the title. Juniors were allowed to work clos- er with seniors. They were able to join clubs strictly for juniors and seniors such as the French and Spanish Clubs, the FTO, Senior Hon- or Society, VICA, FSA, and DECA. Juniors worked with seniors not only in organizations but also in varsity sports. With participation in these sports, eleventh graders were able to earn a varsity letter for their accomplishments. To inform students of possible career options, eleventh graders took the Career Planning Profile. Students interested in higher education took the PSAT and attended Educational Opportunity Day sponsored by colleges and tech- nical schools in the state. In both extracurricular and edu- cational activities, juniors experi- enced new and instructional know- ledge. Juniors realized the nearness of their graduation day and pre- pared to take one step closer as their year drew to a close.

A member of the Drama Club, Pep Club, and Chorus, Patty was also chosen to represent the juniors as a Homecoming Prin- cess. Some of Patty’s interests include singring, cheerleading, and horseback riding. Patty would like to become a physical therapist. “If I’m not a physical therapist, I’d like to work with the hearing and speech impaired. I like to work with people,” Patty stated.

Ordering rings for the oncoming year initiated feelings of becoming a senior. Josten representatives visited the school to show a film and to display a variety of rings their company manu- factured. Other students decided to wait and choose a different style of ring from their favorite jewelry store. Emblems and decorative designs were carefully selected to make each ring significant and personal. Just as the styles ranged, so did the prices. During a spring ceremony, juniors were issued their school rings. Throughout the rest of the year, juniors proudly displayed their rings to other admiring classmates. As David Farrow signs for his class ring, Keith Wood waits in line to pay his balance.

In the spring and fall, a team from the Carolina Blood Center came to receive blood donations from the faculty, staff, and student body. Since the event had been sponsored by the Key Club, members collected, names of volunteers prior to the date. The Blood Center required that all donors be at least seventeen years old and weigh a minimum of 110 pounds. The donors, who were excused from class to give blood, were first weighed and then blood typed. Finally each gave one pint of blood. After a short rest period and cookies provided by the Key Club members, the donors re- turned to their respective classes. After Riving a pint of blood, William Jones shows Traci Cogsdill and Suzanne Harlan the mark left by the needle. 62 Juniors Wayne Hembree Pattie Henderson Michael Higgins Charles Hill Denise Hill Charlene Hipp Ken Holliday Billy Horner Donald Hovis Gwen Hudgens Jon Hughett John Paul Hurley Mark Hutcherson Crystal Irby Janie Irby Vincent Irby Donald Jackson Kenneth Jackson Teresa Jackson Lynn James Scott Jarrard Undrea Jefferies Eddie Jenkins Ron Johnson Bobby Jones Vincent Jones Willie Jones Lawrence Keels Alice Kennedy Tammy King Juniors 63 In Greg: Knight Guy Knight Judith Knight Kimberly Knight Scott Knight Kathy Lambert Patty Lanford Dean Lanier Joann Latimore Lisa Lawson Kenny Lee Kim Leopard Ricky Leopard Joey Lewis Gini Lindley Who's Who While Ronald Reagan presided in Washington, Jim Carter attended the high school last year. Other former presidential names were on the attendence roll such as John Adams and John Kennedy along with his brother Robert. As if these names were not prestigious enough, Howard Johnson, Natalie Wood, and Charlie Brown were included also. “It is pretty fun, but sometimes it can be disgusting when people make fun of it,” stated John Kennedy. Jim Carter said, “It is an incredible experi- ence when a person has the same name of someone of great importance, such as the President of the United States.” Many times students were ques- tioned as to whether their parents realized they were naming their chil- dren after famous people. For the most part, the names were a pure coincidence. Whether on purpose or not, these names certainly aroused comment when called over the inter- com system. commons before school, Charlie Brown, John Adams, and Jim Carter trade experiences of what it’s like to have a famous name.

Parties are always a solution for gathering friends together and having a good time. Imaginative people readily found or invented reasons to have a party. Tra- ditional parties for birthdays, Hallo- ween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and other holidays were never short in supply. Besides banding together with friends, students also joined with relatives and church groups for va- rious occasions. Whatever the reason, students al- ways found time to have a party. After all, getting together with a group of friends presented the perfect solution for putting problems aside and replac- ing them with fun. At Lesesne Croen’s for Valentine’s Day, she, April Coleman, and Kelli Coleman listen to Freddie Bagwell’s jokes. Lisa Pennington Herbert Peterson Terrance Philson Anthony Pinson Debbie Pinson Beyond The Lights All students enjoy music, but few actually become involved in process- ing this form of entertainment. At the age of thirteen, Dale Wasson be- came interested in stereophonies. “WTiat really got me interested in this was the lighting and how everything worked,” Dale stated. With the help of a friend from Myrtle Beach, Dale be- gan to gather stereo equipment. When Dale turned fifteen, he accepted a job to disc jockey for dances at the Laurens Y.M.C.A. At the fee of one hundred dollars for these and other dances, he designed and built his own light show. When asked about how he wanted to use his experience, Dale replied, “I would love to open my own disco some day in Atlanta or Greenville.” After a football game at a YMCA dance.

Thirty-one colleges, two TEC schools, and recruiters from the U.S. Army and Air Force held exhibits and passed out pamphlets. The Carolinas Association of Col- legiate Registrars and Admission Officers sponsored the program as part of a ten week tour of South Caroli- na’s high schools. The material found most at each exhibit covered SAT scores, available majors, and housing arrangements. An important part of high school concerns the realization of the oppor- tunities available in the future. Edu- cational Opportunities Day brought these realizations into better perspec- tive. Filling out a form requesting more information about Anderson College, Ron Sandlass looks for a college that will best suit his needs. Juniors 71 No Escape Sometimes school gives students a chance to retreat from the watchful eyes of their parents. In all cases, however, this does not apply be- cause some students have their par- ents as teachers. Feelings of freedom and indepen- dence often seemed annihilated with a parent as a teacher. Another prob- lem that stumped these students re- volved around remembering how to correctly address the mother or father in school. Cutting up in other classes became impossible through fear the parent would be told. On the other hand, teacher’s chil- dren had their parents close by if they were needed. Furthermore, these parents were helpful when dif- ficult homework problems arose. Gigi Brady said, “The only advan- tage is having him at home to help. I would still have him for a teacher, though, even if he wasn’t my dad.” After the last parade in Gray Court, Porter Smith puts away his tenor saxophone before boarding the bus. 2 Juniors Gerold Webb James Wells Tim Werts Rena Whitmire Mike Whitten Allison Williams Brad Williams Patrick Williams Stanley Williams Terri Williams Bruce Young Greg Young I.C.Young Mildred C.

To most students turning fifteen automatically gave teenagers a chance to get a driver’s license. Also, instead of always double-dating, couples were able to date at night without another couple along. Furthermore, participating in junior varsity sports presented an option to sophomores. However, no longer being termed a freshman or rookie seemed to many the biggest improvement of all. They were eligible for more clubs and organizations, such as the new Science Club and Jazz Band. In addi- tion, more electives were offered such as foreign languages. While the school celebrated a de- cade of teaching, sophomores were also completing their tenth year of education. Even though school pre- sented few new challenges, becom- ing a sophomore brought many new opportunities, and the odds were on their side.

Upon being: accepted, Richard traveled to Pennsylvania where he and 210 other band and chorus mem- bers from the U.S. boarded a plane for Europe. After landing in Germany, where one of seven concerts was scheduled, Richard relaxed and toured the town of Frankfurt. Of the other countries he visited — France, England, Aus- tria, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, and Switzerland — he enjoyed Austria and Switzerland the most. When asked how he spent his free time, Richard replied, “Tours and activities were planned for us (band tour members). In Switzerland, we went on a one-mile sled ride down a mountain. And, in En- gland, we saw the Broadway produc- tion of My Fair Lady.” Summarizing his experience Richard said, “It was great, 25 days of seeing things, going places, meeting people, and giving concerts! I’d jump at the chance to go again.” Preparing for his trip to Europe.

The following Monday, a girl could be heard telling about tumbling down the stairs and breaking her heel. Next her date picked her up wearing blue jeans and took her to McDonalds. “But the worst part,” she would ex- claim, “was when I accidently told him the wrong driveway and had to stand on my neighbor’s stoop until he was out of sight.” Meanwhile, her escort was re- membering the movie he took her to Moves see. He understood it to be an adven- ture film; instead, it turned out to be a skin flick. Everyone in the theater was kissing except them, so he moved to put his arm around her and socked her in the nose. Nevertheless, they survived and learned that to master the ancient art of courtship one was required to en- dure many mistakes and unforget- table moments of embarrassment. Dating became a process of learning the right moves.

But, few people think of raising cows as a hobby. Amy and Ricky Tingle, a brother and sister team, chose this unique in- terest as their hobby. At the age of nine, they used cows for a 4-H project. Although their parents purchased the first cow, Ricky and Amy have bought all the rest since then. “It can be expensive,” Ricky stated, “when the cows are sold, we break even.” Amy said, “It’s very interest- ing, and we enjoy raising cows be- cause of the money we make.” Winning ribbons from their cattle became more than merely a hobby. For Amy and Ricky Tingle, cattle raising symbol- ized a method of financial profit and enjoyment as well. Many of Amy Tingle’s afternoon hours are spent training her cow, Sally.

Don’t drive so fast; keep your eyes on the road; turn that music down; and don’t forget the blinkers! These phrases echoed in the minds of many students as they went to take their driver’s test. Prior to turning fifteen, most teen- agers had already made a trip to the highway department to acquire the driver’s handbook. When their birth- day arrived, they were prepared to take the written test. Two weeks later, students were eligible to return and take the driving test. Sometimes, getting the license itself did not present the problem. The real issue entailed persuading Mom and Dad to borrow the car. The day after getting his permit, drivers’ education student Shayne Duckworth returns from his second time behind the wheel. 84 Sophomores Jackie McDaniel Crystal McDowell Glynia McDowell Synthia McDowell Dianne McGeehon Sonya McKittrick Julie McNinch John Medlin Teresa Medlin Brian Meetze James Merrill Michael Milam Barbara Miller Bruce Mills Robby Moreland Billy Monto omery Debra Montjoy Thomas Mosley Cynthia Nelson Deborah Nesbitt Timothy Norris Ken Owens Beckey Owings Daryl Palmer Connie Parker Vanessa Parks Ollie Patterson Melody Patterson Mark rayne Angela Penn Sophomores 85 Kimberly Pennington Angela Penland Sarah Philson Shawn Pietrowski James Pitts Calvin Powers Dee Prince Keith Radecke Rick Raines Bubba Rawl Billy Rawson Jeff Reid Sharon Reynolds Karon Rhodes Sharon Rhodes Larry Rice Marty Rice Robert Rice Stanley Rice Dolfus Richard Michael Richard Dolnita Richards Jayne Riddle Elveneez Robertson Richard Robertson Randy Robinson Russ Rodgers Steve Rowan John Sales Eva Saxon 86 Sophomores Delisa Shands Michael Sharp Allen Shell Tina Shockley Steve Simpson Chad Smallwood Benita Smith Chris Smith Dianne Smith John Smith Kenny Smith Lena Smith Mardell Smith Michelle Smith Mike Smith Pam Smith Porter Smith Randy Smith Sandra Smith Chris Snow Making Waves A summer home at Lake Burton or Pawley's Island isn't normally un- usual, but Erik Croen’s was in the water; in fact, it was the water. For his various sports hobbies, Erik depended on lake and ocean water. Like lots of people, he water skied, with one differ- ence — no skis. Besides barefoot water skiing, Erik enjoyed riding the disc — “It's easier to perform tricks on” — and a recently popularized item, the hydroslide. “Hydrosliding is the most fun of all,” Erik said, “because you can do everything that you can do on skis and a saucer combined.” During the summer at Pawley’s Island, Erik often surfed. He picked up the sport after receiving a surfboard for his birthday. Never idle with a surfboard or hydro- slide and water nearby, Erik Croen felt at home with the fast-moving ac- tion of water sports. After a rigorous ride on the hydroslide, Erik Croen waits for the boat to pick him up.

Interests after school for many girls from the ages of four- teen to eighteen included hospital volunteer work as candy stripers. Candy stripers performed tasks dai- ly such as receiving payments for the use of televisions and reading books to patients. These young girls were re- warded not monetarily but by a but- ton, badge, or pin indicating an accumulated number of hours. In return for their services, the girls were able to receive first-hand knowl- edge of the functions of a hospital. More importantly, however, they ben- efited from the personal satisfaction from helping others and found that giving meant giving for free. Entering a patient's room, volunteer candy stripers Kristi Jones, Angie Black and Gini Lindley help to make a hospital stay more comfortable.

When the cold days began, bath- ing suits were packed away and after- noon days in the pool came to a halt, except for Richard Griffin. Daily, for an hour and a half, Richard practiced at the Clinton YMCA where he has participated as a member of the swim team for 2 years. Consisting of 20 members, the team competed in statewide swim meets. Swimming the backstroke, Richard’s highest honor was 3rd place in the 100 meters at a state meet. “Swimming provided good experience for fun and competition,” stated Richard sum- marizing his experience.

Although they brought with them fears, they also brought courage and determination to face the challenges of a large school. After struggling into the first few weeks of adjust- ment, freshmen soon settled into a routine and began to find their own areas of interest. Each freshman brought indi- vidual thoughts and ideas to contri- bute to those of his peers. Organiza- tions and extracurricular activities quickly absorbed these individual contributions. Among the clubs open to freshmen were the Future Homemakers of America, the National Junior Honor Society, the Drama Club, Future Farmers of America, and Fellowship of Christ- ian Athletes. Football, basketball, and baseball along with the vol- leyball, wrestling, and golf teams also saw freshmen participants. In addition freshmen elected officers for the student government so that their opinions and ideas could be voiced. After adjusting and conforming to the rules of the school, freshmen learned that high school life marked a turning point from that of their junior high years. Absorbing a heavy work load became quite a task in itself. Disciplinary measures changed from paddlings to points. After a little adjusting, however, in- dividuals found freedom to branch out and seek their own interests.

Conducting his speech in the Lecture Theater, Governor Riley found the theater filled to its capacity. Forewarned of the Governor’s com- ing, senior government students had prepared particular questions to ask Governor Riley. Prior to his public speech, he met with these students and answered, on videotape, their questions which covered topics rang- ing from gun control to nuclear waste. Only one-fourth of the students’ ques- tions, however, were answered due to limited time. Rather than presenting a problem, the Governor advised students to be- come problem-solvers. Also, the Gov- ernor asked parents to take on a more responsible part in the roles of their children’s educations. During a question-answer session. Governor Dick Riley strives to make his point.

For the first time, this year open house was held for parents, faculty, and adminis- tration. Open house invited parents to follow an average school day of their children by attending each class for twenty minutes. Parents of freshmen students participated in discussions on their children’s results from the Basic Skills Assessment Test. Eager to learn more about one another, community and faculty mem- bers approached open house with an optimistic feeling. Open House ’81 aided parents in understanding a typical school day and boosted com- munication between parent and teacher. During open house, Miss Judy Fallaw answers a parent’s question about class material.

The cube could be solved by a few simple twists and turns. Finding the exact sequence to these movements presented the problem. The Rubik’s cube relieved boredom, impressed friends, and vented frustration. Those people who were not cube-oriented in- vented new solutions such as chang- ing the stickers or taking the cube apart. Some students even bought the solution book and mastered the se- quence of turns through reading. The Rubik’s cube interested stu- dents by the hundreds. Whether by twisting the cube, rearranging the sides, or reading the book, students found a way to conquer the cube. In an attempt to solve the maddening concept of the Rubik’s Cube, Cindy Lee and David Carter slowly lose their patience. 1 100 Freshmen Kelly Jo Hurley David Huss Bobby Irby Pam Irby Patricia Irby Carla Jackson Darron Jackson Jerome Jackson Venessa Jackson Vince Jackson Nadine James Willie Jenkins Debra Jennings Alvin Johnson Cindy Johnson Howard Johnson Ken Johnson Patricia Johnson Richard Jones Steven Jones Ormon Keathley Teresa Keenan Cheryl Kelly John Kennedy Angelia Kiker Karen Kirk Stephanie Kirk David Knight Bernie Knight Elizabeth Knox Freshmen 101 Kim Lagroon Lisa Lagroon Tim Lancaster Calvernetta Latimore Roosevelt Latimore Chris Laws Carla Lawson Sam Leamon Karen Lee Karen Lemmons Randy Leopard Jia Yuan Li David Little Lisa Lloyd Charlie Lollis Mirror Images Two better than one? This past year the freshman class seemed to believe in this slogan because four sets of identical twins were in the ninth grade alone! Out of these twins, three pairs were boys: Richard and Ronald Parker, Frank and Bill Boone, and Larry and Barry Parris. Of the pair of female twins, Christina and Elizabeth Stov- er, Christina said, “Everyone always gets us confused.” “Being a twin does have advan- tages.” Christina commented, “It is good to have a sister to talk to and do things with when your friends aren’t at home.” Before reporting to their third period class, Frank and Bill Boone, twin brothers, stop by their lockers. 102 Freshmen Lisa Lone Lavenia Lynch Debra Lyons Rosa Lyons Charlotte Macabee Lawrence Mack Leroy Mack Richard Mack Joey Madden Melissa Madden Audrey Makins Michael Malone James Manley Angie Martin Beverly Martin Cynthia Massey Kay Massey David Mathews Ronald Mattison Chris Maxon Bobby Moore Dianna Moore Caleen Moreland Donna Morgan Canvis Moses Cynthia Moses Donald Moses Crystal Mosley Henry Mosley Danny Mundy Freshmen 103 Beth McCarter Tracy McClintock Amy McDowell Mary McDowell Rachel McDowell Billy McGee Melissa McGowan Jean Medlin Ricky Medlin Rhonda Merck Gloria Merrill Phyllis Miller Anthony Mims Cynthia Mims Scott Miracle Jimmy Mitchell Sonya Mitchell Bennie Montgomery Bobby Moore Scott Mundy Anthony Murphy Kelly Nabors Cathy Nance Sharon Nance Sabrina Nichols Tim Nichols James Nicks Mandv Noffz Detra Crbryant Pamela Osborne 104 Freshmen Taken With tummies grumbling and hot food on the plate, no student wanted to find some stranger sitting at his lunch table. On the first few days of school, mad dashes were made by students to select their table. Gradually that par- ticular table symbolized a certain group’s territory. As hungry people received the announcement to advance to the com- mons, tables began filling with famil- iar faces in the same spots. Day after day, friends headed toward the same area to congregate at their designated table. While the hot food cooled, tem- pers rose to boiling points when out- siders got to a table first. To maintain peace and to insure that food went in the stomach and not on the face, students found the best approach was to make certain the table was not already attached. During lunch period, these freshmen relax and enjoy their break while discussing the day’s activities.

Instead of all the freshmen being termed as “rookies”, certain ninth graders were selected as “Freshman Rookie of the Month.” Sending questionnaires to ninth grade English teachers, the Key Club was responsible for choosing a Rookie of the Month. Also, a committee from the Key Club read the qualifications of each candidate although no names were included until a selection was made. Basically, rookies were chosen for good grades and being involved in extracurricular activities. During the month of September, Mike Gunnels received the title of the first “Rookie of the Month.” This was an honor for incoming students some- times referred to as “greenhorns.” During first lunch, Lisa Reeves asks Mike Gunnels what it feels like to be “Rookie of the Month.” Liz Payne Stacy Payne Steve Pearson Shayne Pearson Anna Pennington Calvin Pennington Frances Pennington Sherri Pennington Pamela Peterson Curtis Pitts Dennis Pitts Jacqueline Pitts Melvin Pitts Keith Porter Geegee Pountain 106 Freshmen Angela Pratt Jason Pressley Teresa Proffitt Curtis Pulley Jeffrey Pulley Julie Putnam Steve Ramey Calvin Ray Shelia Ray Debra Redd Jimmy Redd Julie Ann Redden John Reeder Allen Reynolds Sharon Rhodes Barbara Rice Carrie Rice Jessie Rice Linda Rice Cynthia Richardson Sonya Richards Beth Riddle Margaret Riddle Eddie Roberts Trudy Roberts Virainia Roberts Derrick Robertson Spencer Robertson Tom Robertson Leyette Robinson Freshmen 107 Linda Robinson Tim Robinson Vernice Rodriguez Jamie Rogers Diane Ross Scott Rumfelt Sharon Russell David Sams David Sanders Dorothy Sanders Timothy Sanders Beth Schofield Deborah Schofield Robin Scott Mike See Tina Sellers Palmer Sexton Clint Seymour Randal Shaw Ron Shaw Victor Shelton Ken Shepheard Renee Shivers Willie Shumpent Wendy Simmons Angela Simpkins Mark Simpkins Angela Simpson Jonnie Simpson Joyce Simpson 108 Freshmen Joyce Simpson Melissa Simpson Roy Simpson Willie Smallwood Donald Smiley Allen Smith Amy Smith Bruce Smith Denise Smith Ellis Smith Faye Smith Frank Smith Jamie Smith Mike Smith Stanly Smith Love a Fair Cotton candy, amusement rides, and arcade games — how far does a person have to go to find all this ex- citement? In October, students only had to venture to the fair grounds. On a reserved day, students received spe- cial admission prices in addition to re- duced prices on rides and games. Rides and games, however, were not the only attraction that drew large crowds. Exhibits of canned fruits and vegetables, model cars and ships, sewn articles, and prize-winning cat- tle captured the interest of many. After the excitement diminished, the exhibits were torn apart, the rides were packed away, and the grounds were cleaned up. The smell of cotton candy still clung in the air with the promise of returning fairs. Leaving the fair on school day, October 13, Lisa Bolt and Detra O’Bryant laugh over the prizes their afternoon’s efforts and money have won.

The answer is students that wear glasses and have braces. Although years ago students hid their glasses and waited to put them on only when the lights had dimmed in movie theaters, today glasses are con- sidered stylish. Taking the chic of eyewear to the extreme, some stu- dents even purchased several pairs of glasses to change with every outfit. While glasses were fashionable to some, other students felt less self- conscious in contact lens. Since con- tacts also come in a variety of colors, students were even able to change the color of their eyes. The different styles of glasses, braces, and contacts were only a few of the steps taken to self-improvement. Sitting around a table in commons, Sonya Wells, Mike Gunnels, and David Matthews converse with friends about upcoming events. 110 Freshmen Patricia Stroud Tammy Suber Chris Sullivan Mary Ann Sullivan Richard Sullivan Marche Sumerel Travis Sumner Ricky Suttles Katrina Tallent Micky Taylor Jessie Thomas Vickie Thomas Tommy Thomason Chris Thompson Sammie Thompson Scott Thompson Steve Thompson Cynthia Todd James Todd Tony Todd David Trammel Tommy Traynham Bobby Tribble Bruce Tribble Marsha Tumblin Sherry Tumblin Angrie Turner Janay Turner Tony Valentine Vickie Valentine Freshmen 111 Julie Vaughn Keith Vincent Pebble Vinson Michael Walker Scott Walker Robert Wallace Kenneth Warren Gary Washington Yvette Watson Steve Watts Sonya Wells Tammy West Donna Whelchel Carlene Whitmire Robbi Wilhelm Arthur Williams Bernard Williams Burley Williams Charles Williams Stephane Williams Wilma Williams Janice Willis Billy Wilson Chris Wilson Donovan Wilson Gerald Wilson Lisa Wilson Philip Wilson David Winford James Wood 112 Freshmen Bumper Stickers Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, Pierre Cardin sound like names from a jet set guest list, but they were only a few of the designer names on what may be America’s favorite fashion — blue jeans. Students still sported familiar Levi’s, Lee or Wrangler, even though the zipper-legged, emblem- emblazoned status jeans brought second glances from friends and stag- gering blows to checkbooks. Whether Brooke Shields’ Calvins, the “Jordache look,” or Lacoste alligators captured the buyer’s heart and money, the $13 to $50 price range was evidenced on back pockets. In fact, shirts, skirts, or accessories to match completed de- signer outfits for those who could afford the price tags. Among the designer jeans to be seen in the halls are Jordache, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Teddy labels.

Putting aside personal bias, faculty members treated each student on the same basic level, varying to help with specific problems or to present special challenges. For a school system to run smoothly, many people must work together. Aided by assistant principals Jack Corn, Clarence Mills, and Henry Ste- wart, principal Ken Alexander super- vised all activities. In the office, the staff admitted students, filed paper- work, and answered the phone. With daily contact, teachers had to prepare tests, grade papers, organize class- work, complete report cards, and solve class problems. Also, surviving the day would have been practically im- possible, without the aid of the custo- dians and the kitchen staff as they re- moved dirt and debris and quenched hunger pangs. Each member had equal importance in running the school efficiently. Col- lectively, the administration, teachers, and staff worked toward one objective — advancing the education of each student.

All totaled, the department consisted of four people — Mr. Gerald Crawford, Mrs. Linda Freeman, Mrs. Sarah Lit- tle, and Mr. Don Ross. As director of the department, Mr. Ross coordinated the guidance pro- gram, prepared the registration, and aided faculty members. Both Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Little worked with individual students and groups. Mr. Crawford dealt in the vocational areas and with job placement while Mrs. Lit- tle organized testing programs, such as the CPP and NEDT. Paperwork, in- cluding student records, high school transcripts, college applications, and other information, fell under Mrs. Freeman’s handling. Summing up the department’s con- cerns, Mr. Ross stated, “There is no way of getting around the fact that our youth today are our adults of tomorrow. By working with students we help our future adults face and work with the problems of the future.” Discussing school plans with Connie Babb, Mr. Don Ross explains options for enrollment at Winthrop College.

Along with a new class of fresh- men, came a new principal, Mr. Ken Alexander, who had previously been a vice-principal for ten years. Mr. Alexander did not plan any im- mediate or drastic changes, but he did foresee some gradual changes in the future that would hopefully improve the school and the system for every- one. Commenting on his first year, Mr. Alexander said, “I'm pleased with the student body and the faculty, and I consider the year a success!” After a busy day, Mr. Ken Alexander discusses teacher evaluations with Mr. Travis Langford. 118 Faculty Samuel Madden: Math I, II.

As past prin- cipal Mr. Travis Langford said, “If I felt any hesitancy at all, it was not about taking the new job but leaving the old one. After being a principal for 28 years, I think it is only natural to feel a reluctancy to go on to a new position.” After an evaluation, Mr. Travis Langford confers with Mrs. Anne Sheppard about her classroom performance. Of Pace As Coordinator of Secondary Educa- tion, Mr. Langford headed teacher evaluation, curriculum development, secondary textbook selection, and cer- tain aspects of the vocational pro- gram. Due to the many channels his new job entailed, Mr. Langford com- mented, “Now I have a chance to get into the classrooms more often although I still do not get to see stu- dents as much as I would like to.” As Mr. Langford approached this new challenge, he initiated changes not only for himself but also for the entire school.

Faculty 121 Second Nature Sports — the most popular pastime of America, the reason for missing a favorite show, the section of the newspaper read most. Athletes of all kinds, whether wrestlers, golfers, cheerleaders, or football players, spent countless hours of tiring practice during the summer months and throughout the year. Self-discipline was instilled in every athlete as they ventured forth to represent their school. Coaches and team members quickly recognized their strong points and concentrated on improving their weaknesses. With great stamina, teams of all forms endeavored to achieve their goals. Accomplishments were celebrated while flaws were worked out by more long hours of practice. Competition became a strenuous battle of skill and strategy. Raider athletes faced even their toughest opponents with energetic anticipation. Spirit formed a major factor in the athletes’ competitive performances. With the support of cheerleaders, pep rallies, pep band, and even Victor, the school’s mascot, the teams received encouragement and confidence. Through their successes and failures, athletes experienced the values of teamwork and cooperation. In order to succeed, each team member had to contribute individually. Working together as a unit furthered the opportunities to advance. Adhering to strong points and revising weak points became important adjustments in the athletic program this past year. Creating such large popularity in America, the emphasis flowing over the school sports seemed only natural. At the home court debut, Mike Matthews fires a sizzling serve to his opponent. 122 Sports Driving off the fairway. Albert Jacks follows through with his swing. Preparing to bat.

For the next three months, these football hopefulls drilled in summer’s sweltering temperatures through daily sessions which became twice-daily workouts as the schedule debut loomed just around the corner. By the time school books re- placed swimsuits in gym bags, the number of athletes had decreased to 47, but it was these players who formed the team. During the jamboree, the defensive linemen focus their attention on Coach Sam Betz and his game plan. The final record, 2-7-1, may not have shown the totals hoped for by sweat- coated adversaries of sum- mer scrimmages. For some, however, the extra exer- tion and achievement yielded a bonus. The Laurens County Touch- down Club honored 16 team members as Players of the Week, and five members, James Cunningham, Anthony Downs, Gerald Foggie, Harley Griffin and Eric Wilson, were named to the All-Region team. Addi- tionally, linebacker Gerald Foggie played in the North- South All-Star Game. (continued on page 126) Dodging and breaking tackles, James Cunningham covers enough ground for the first down.

Heroes In Hand-Me-Downs After a year of working and playing together as ninth graders, the junior varsity football team spent hours of practicing for the new season under the training and leadership of Coaches Bobby LeRoy and Carl Drakeford. According to Bobby LeRoy, the team “improved as a group and played up to their poten- tial, game after game.” In the first game of the season, the junior varsity pulled off a 6-0 win over the Newberry Bulldogs and followed up with a 0-0 tie against the Red Devils from Clinton. Then, the Raiders came back and stomped J.L. Mann with a 27-6 victory, and after another week of practice, trampled Eastside 10-7. Losing the next game to Dorman 6-14, the squad re- taliated by a 15-12 win over Greenwood. Keeping up the streak, the next two games were in the Raiders’ favor — a win over Hillcrest and a tremendous defeat over Easley, 25-0. But by only 1 point the team pulled by Wade Hampton, ending the game with a 7-6 score. Ending the season, the Raiders played their high- est scoring game as they destroyed Boiling Springs, 28-14. Tallied up, the sea- son ended with seven wins, two losses, and one tie. The hours put into prac- tice seemed to show on the scoreboards. By having the most wins of all the football teams, the junior varsity team demonstrated that it could really pull its share of the load. Junior Varsity Football Team Newberry 6- 0 Clinton 0- 0 J.L.

Opening the season, the ninth grade team beat Newberry Bulldogs, 41-0, and the Woodruff Wolver- ines, 15-0. Then the Raid- ers went into a slump. Con- secutively the next three games were losses; Dor- man 21-6, Southside 8-0, and Northside 14-0.

However, at the next game Emerald defeated Laurens, 6-0. The final game of the season ended with a victory, 15-12 over Boiling Springs. Tallied up, the season ended with four wins and four losses. After hours of playing, practicing, and fellowship, the ninth grade team learned to work together and play together. Coach O’Rear commented, “We all enjoyed the season. The team has potential, and with work they will really boost the varsity squad next year.” In the huddle, the defense listens attentively as their captain gives instructions.

As early as August, the team began practicing ev- ery day, and this schedule became a ritual through- out the season. The only ex- ceptions were Mondays and Wednesdays; on these two important days, matches were held. During practices, members fo- cused on the essentials of volleyball — floor cover- age, defense, and offense. Along with Coach Mon- roe, the girls attended vol- leyball camp at the Uni- versity of South Carolina at Spartanburg during the summer. This was the first camp the team attended as a group. Coach Monroe felt that, “It really helped us with the fundamentals and individuality.” With a state invitation and its record of 14-9, the girls’ volleyball team made a great deal of progress in its first season this past year. Coach Monroe stated, “We played as a team;, teamwork was our strongest point.” All the opposing teams recognized their teamwork, and the power green and gold held. Playing the backline. Valerie Wood digs the ball up and over the net. Putting power behind the ball, Gini Lindley executes a bump across to the opponent’s court. Volleyball 133 Working for a take-down. Earl Wright executes the headlock on his Greenwood opponent and pulls him forward for a hip toss. During individual wrestling drills, Ricky Dotson forces Joe Irby’s head down, executes a front face lock, and works to knock him off balance. Near the close of a match, Rick Ramey talks with David Matthews and Robin Nelson as they watch their teammate. After Foster Burton pins his opponent in the first period, the referee raises the victor’s hand. In the Greenwood match, Larry Rice sits out of his opponent’s hold and scores an escape. 134 Wrestling Pin to Win Wahoo McDaniels, Ricky Steamboat, and Rick Flair ... unlike these renowned tag-team wrestlers, high school matmen do not re- ceive much publicity and their matches do not merely provide entertainment. In- stead, high school wres- tling details discipline, strength, and agility from each individual. Determined by weight, the coaches match up their team members with a com- patable opponent. In cata- gories, strict regulations required certain hair length, Finger nail length, weight, and even razor stubble. Each match con- tained three periods last- ing two minutes each. By executing different moves, wrestlers scored points while working for a pin. Launching the new sea- son with a different approach, Coach Sam Betz coached his first year with assistance from Rev. Ma- rion Rhoden and Ricky Byrd. In lieu of the tradi- tional running, Coach Betz worked the team out with short “loosening” exer- cises and steady wrestling. Starting the season on an impressive note with the first win over Woodruff, the wrestlers later fell to Eastside and Hanna. After a dead lock with Dorman, the matmen enjoyed back- to-back wins over Green- wood and Hillcrest. Then the team lost to Belton- Honea Path but bounded back to defeat Westside and Wade Hampton. Under a new coach and strict regulations, high school wrestling differed greatly from tag-team matches viewed on televi- sion. Senior wrestler Robin Nelson commented, “It’s a great deal of hard work, but when your oppo- nent has his shoulders pinned to the mat, it’s worthwhile.” Wrestling Team: Front Row: Tim Robertson.

Junior Sylvester Bol- den’s yearlong perfor- mance earned him the posi- tion of the team’s leading rebounder and scorer, with Gerald Foggie at a close second. The team highlighted the season early in its first inter-region game with an impressive 60-57 win over Eastside, ranked high in the region. Later in the season the team bounded to a four game winning streak by first avenging two previous defeats by Dorman and Greenwood and then crushing Hill- crest and Easley in 77-60 and 73-66 contests. The Raiders capped off the season on a positive note with an awe- some 50-44 victory over Boiling Springs that ele- vated them to a number two ranking in the region and seated them high in the re- gion tournament. Summing up the year, Coach O’Rear said, “I en- joyed coaching the team and watching them pro- gress.” At the start of the game, Coaches Bobby O’Rear and Mark Freeze watch the action down court.

Winning By Leaps And Bounds With an overall record of 14-6, the twelve member girls’ varsity basketball team practiced every day except Tuesday and Fri- day. For an hour and thir- ty minutes Coach Kay Monroe prepared the girls for the games ahead. A greater spread in height in- creased the overall strength of the team along with their ball handling and passing skills. Off to a slow start by los- ing their first game to Clinton 30-33, the varsity girls then conquered Par- ker twice in addition to Hanna. After two losses, the girls proved victo- rious once again as they downed Eastside, Green- wood, Hillcrest, and Eas- ley. With a loss to Wade Hampton and a victory over Boiling Springs the Raiderettes closed out another winning season. The girls’ hours of drills and concentration left them ending their season second in the region. Com- menting on the season, Coach Kay Monroe said, “The results of the season reflected the strength and determination of the girls. Even though the season was not as good as it could have been, we have done much better than anyone anticipated pre-season.” After working her way to the middle, Kim Barbery puts up a jump shot over the Greenwood center.

As coach of the boys’ junior varsity team, Bobby LeRoy stated, “Our suc- cess is due to our teamwork and group play. Also, we have quickness and speed.” On the other hand, Coach Mark Freeze, heading the ninth grade team, felt the boys “played well together because they had a tremendous amount of sup- port from their parents.” The junior varsity boys’ impressive season opened by crushing archrival Clin- ton with a score of 37-30. Their winning spirit pre- vailed throughout the sea- son as scores such as 69-51 against T.L. Hanna and 67- 52 against Easley proved the boys victorious. After a ten game winning streak, the team suffered its first loss against Greenwood, 49-40. Their only other loss occurred in their game against Boiling Springs who escaped with only a two point win. The ninth grade boys’ basketball team started their season by blowing away Parker 48-26 and Cow- pens 47-21. Following two consecutive losses to Clin- ton and T.L. Hanna, the team triumphed over Union and J.L. Mann. The boys then suffered a three game losing streak to Dor- man, Wade Hampton, and Dorman again. To close the season, the Raiders fell to four losses. Both teamwork and family support contributed to the junior varsity 14-2 and the ninth grade 5-9 scoreboards. When asked about the potential of his team, Coach Mark Freeze stated, “As intelligent and dedicated as they are, they’ll be a fine addition to the upperclass teams.” In the second half against Union, Chris Maxon dribbles down court and sets up for team play.

On a jump ball, Tammy Garrett tips off to her teammate. Up Team Tempo “School spirit is a vital part of the athlete’s per- formance,” stated co- captain cheerleader, Giselle Bailey. Being either a cheerleader or a member of the girls’ junior varsity basketball team required a forfeit of both time and energy. Participating in summer camps, the cheerleaders learned new chants, cheers, pyramids, stunts, and ways to promote school spirit. In order to enhance spirit, the squads estab- lished a cheering section at the games. As their spon- sor Miss Nena Hood stated, “The cheerleaders are almost useless unless they have a crowd that supports them.” Being a member of the junior varsity girls’ basket- ball team required an hour and a half of practice every afternoon and games twice weekly. As their coach Ray Croxton said, “This year’s team was composed of ex- ceptional players who worked together to balance the scoring in every game.” Beginning with an un- scheduled game, the junior varsity girls consecutively defeated Cowpens 37-22, Union 30-25, Eastside 56-9, and Greenwood 34-32. However, in the next game Dorman capitalized on the girls’ slow start and won 44-33 with Wade Hampton following suit. Out of the remaining five games, the girls suffered only one loss to Dorman. Basketball and cheer- leading complemented one another. As the cheerlead- ers boosted morale, the team members displayed their abilities. In the zone defense, Tammy Garrett, Stephanie Bryson, and Sharon Boyd blanket their area. Cheerleaders and J.V. Basketball 143 Straight To The Top “Have you got that spir- it?” — this phrase started off a cheer; but, this ques- tion also concerned the re- sponsibilities of cheerlead- ers to boost student morale. Essential to the football program, the cheerleaders discovered that promoting school spir- it on campus and at the games formed only part of their task. The varsity squad led pep rallies while the junior varsity joined in to repre- sent all classes. Captain of the varsity squad, Melissa Kirk stated that as an im- provement over the past, “We were able to construct superior pyramid forma- tions and we exhibited bet- ter partner stunts.” Striving for improve- ment, they attended a NCA cheerleading camp at Fur- man. As part of their learn- ing, the girls designed three signs for a game and two spirit signs. With school under way, the squads sponsored a re- ception for the football teams. After a defeat by the rivals, Clinton, the varsity players found ban- ners of support decorating their locker room on the re- turn from their game. The cheerleaders — both varsity and junior varsity — aided the football sche- dule in running smoothly and in creative spirit. A great deal of animation, time, and personality was demanded of each indi- vidual, and each gave readily of all.

The team finished fourth overall and fifth in the tournament held at Furman University. “As a team, I was pleased with the players,” observed Coach O’Rear, After his match. Albert Jacks heads to the clubhouse to find out his teammates’ scores. “however, lack of con- sistency with our third, fourth, and fifth players was our major weakness. On the other hand, support and respect for each other counterbalanced the weak- nesses of the team.” Dorman, Wade Hampton, and Greenwood proved to be the Raiders’ toughest opponents. Coach O’Rear felt that, “All three of these schools have golf teams that are traditionally strong. Our lack of depth and concentration may account for the losses we suffered to them.” Golf 147 Satisfied with the pitch, Erskine Norris drives the ball in the hole for a base hit. The Right Combination 12-7-1 in this case did not open a school locker. This combination, however, did represent the record for the Varsity Baseball team this past year. With prac- tice seven days a week, the team produced several out- standing players. Of the many names, James Simp- son’s and Keith Johnson’s appeared unwaveringly. Batting with a .541 aver- age, Simpson also acquired the most hits, the most runs batted in, and the most home runs. As pitch- er, Johnson motivated the most outs. A prominent sophomore was Mike Whit- ten, who according to Coach Ed Prescott was, “... probably the most con- sistent player on the team.” Because the squad included only two seniors, the team leaned toward being young and inexperi- enced. In addition, many of the players performed in positions they had not pre- viously held. Coach Pres- cott went on to say “the team played very well together as a unit. A lot went wrong at the start of the season, but the guys accepted the pressure put on them and came through.” Reaching the playoffs, the team attained the title of third in the state after a loss to Wade Hampton. Statistically, the combination of wins and losses this past year slanted in the team’s favor. As Prescott went on to say “ ... the team always gave a good effort. The main thing is that the team likes to win and enjoys what they are doing.” After a tight inside pitch, Willie Boozer hits the dust. 148 Varsity Baseball Narrowly escaping a possible tag.

De- spite the team’s long period of constant prac- tice without playing a game, the Raiders’ first game in a double header against Newberry was a victorious 10-2 win. Though the second game was in favor of Newberry, the team got back on the winning track two games later by beating Clinton 6-4. After an unfortunate loss to After knocking the ball far outfield, Calvin Hill hustles toward first base anticipating a double. Strom Thurmond, Laurens won a string of games, finally being beaten in the first game of a doublehead- er against Clinton. The Raiders, however, came back in the second game beating Clinton 4-2. For the final two games, a double header, the team met Newberry, where both gained a victory and a de- feat. Coach Ollis remarked that the season had been a productive one. “The team got a lot of experience,” he said, “Laurens High’s baseball future will more than likely be a bright one because of the experience and confidence these play- ers received during junior varsity competition.” Junior Varsity Baseball 151 Exerting his energy.

Under the direction of Coach Ray Croxton, both the boys’ and the girls’ tennis teams showed strong improve- ment by finishing on a posi- tive note. At the close of its season, the boys’ team com- posed a 3-9 record and had displayed a strong showing at the region tournament. The girls’ team finished its fall season with a 1-10 rec- ord. Coach Croxton com- mented that, “Despite their unsatisfying records, both teams played hard and their records did not reflect their performance. We’re looking forward to next year, and we should surprise a lot of people.” The girls’ team showed im- provement from experi- ence in every match. Coach Croxton stated, “The team was relatively young and improved as the season went on, and they will con- tinue to improve with ex- Returning a volley with a blazing forehand, Mike Seymour sprints toward the coming target. perience.” At the region tournament, which was held on Raider courts, the number three doubles team of Jackie Cogsdill and Glad Rogers rallied their way to the semi-finals be- fore falling to a team from Hillcrest. The boys’ team started off sluggishly last year; af- ter acquiring experience as they advanced into the sea- son, they finished up strongly at the region tournament in Clemson. During this contest, Mike Matthews, the number one singles player, advanced to the semi-finals before fall- ing to the top seed from Eastside. In doubles, the number one team of Tim Madden and Mike Mat- thews volleyed its way to the semi-finals before being de- feated by the doubles team from Eastside. Gaining ex- perience was an important factor for both the girls’ and boys’ teams this past year. Although the records did not reflect improve- ment, both teams played with a great deal of skill as they looked forward to the next season. Tennis 153 Tracksters Race To Championship Rapid heartbeats, short breath, gunshot ... go! A race against the clock, the striving toward speed and acceleration — it could only be track! The girls’ track team, coached by Mary Sherlock, suffered from a slow start but finished strong, compil- ing a 6 win and 4 loss regu- lar season. The ladies took fourth place at the region meet and sixth place at the upper state meet. At the state meet in Columbia, the Raiders tied for sixteenth in the finals. Coach Sher- lock summed up the season by saying, “The girls’ sea- son was very good though we had a slow start.” Under first year Coach Henry Stewart, the boys’ track team completed a 10 win 1 loss regular season. They finished second in the region with the 1 loss being a one-point defeat by Greenwood. At the region meet at Dorman, the boys raced past other teams to capture the championship. The Raider track team then finished sixth at the upperstate meet and thir- teenth at the state meet. Several school records were broken during the season. Mike Brown set re- cords of 12'-2V2 in the pole vault, of 22'-2Vi in the long jump; while Greg Cunning- ham set a record of 49.7 seconds in the 400-meter dash.

Which ones? — These questions were repeated by students pertaining to clubs and organizations. Becoming part of the school this year required more than just attending classes to make good grades. In order to belong, students needed involvement; therefore, clubs and organizations played a major role in drawing students and school closer together. Variety certainly presented no problem for the student who chose to belong to many clubs or for the more particular person who selected only one. With the intent of preparing members for the business world, such clubs as the Future Teachers Organization, Future Homemakers of America, and Future Farmers of America were offered. Gaining experience in skills. Distributive Education and Vocational Industrial Clubs of America provided training. Scholastically advanced students were invited into either the Junior or Senior Honor Societies, and students taking a foreign language had the option of joining the French or Spanish Clubs. In addition, a new Science Club went into effect this past year, for interested students with a strong background in this field. Some clubs took special invitations or had particular requirements. Elected by classes, Student Council served to uphold rights for everyone. More public-oriented, Key Club members concerned themselves with serving both the school and the community. In the line of sports, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes functioned as a reminder for sportsman-like conduct for both players and cheerleaders. Regardless of the number of members or of the activities of the organizations, each one had significance to its members. A few modifications were made in the clubs, but otherwise there was small change. Sitting in commons, Kayla Robinson contemplates whether or not to join the FTO. 156 Organizations Filming a segment for Haider News, Bryan Robertson follows the action of a pep rally.

As the school grew, new ideas were constant- ly being created and tested. This past year a science club became the newest edition to the list of clubs and organizations. As a teacher of biology, Mr. Mike Mills agreed to act as head of the group with the condition that the members themselves make the rules and elect the officers. Taking the responsibility, William Byrd wrote a constitution and orga- nized the first meeting. In turn, the club elected William as its president. Regardless of its newness, the club went on many field trips. During the fall, the club attended an open house at Lander College. Lander also held a Science Olympiad, and some science club members were able to attend. Be- sides Lander, Clemson offered an open house which club members opted to visit. For science buffs, this club captured their im- mediate attention. As the new addition gave students a chance to expand their interests, the Science Club also gave the school a little more variety. During the Lander College Science Olympiad, John Cren- shaw assembles the leg bones of a human skeleton. Science Club: Front Row: Rock Kennedy.

This sounds ridiculous, but producing the school’s yearbook, the Fifty-fiver, took the efforts of all 19 students along with the supervision of advi- sors Mrs. Susan Byars and Mrs. Pam Tem- pleton. Taking pictures, writing captions and copy, drawing layouts, and doing graphics were only a few of the necessary tasks to produce one page in the yearbook. Besides constructing the book, the staff also sold copies to students during homerooms. Then at the end of the year, all pictures not printed in the book were displayed for purchase. One member of the staff, Jim Ro- gers said, “It’s fun while at the same time it’s a good learning experience.” A great deal of preparation and imagination were needed to meet each deadline and fill over 264 blank sheets. “It certainly is a great deal of work,” stated Mrs. Byars, “but in the final analysis, worth all the work it requires of each staff member.” While sorting picture envelopes by homerooms, Johna Staggs waits for instructions on what to do with unidentified packages. After checking a book for new layout styles, Mike Deep in thought, Dionne Robinson and Anita Rice work Matthews transfers a design onto a duplicate sheet. quickly to finish captions before the deadline.

The Power of Imagination Compiled by a six-man staff and advisor, Miss Sarah R. Smith, the Golden Armor entertained the student body with short stories, poems, art sketches, and plays. The literary magazine pro- vided an outlet for students with creative talent. Holding the position of editor, Bo Hedrick stated, “Being the editor is not just telling ev- erybody what to do, it involves leadership, orga- nization, and fun.” During the year, the staff produced a video program entitled “Raiders of the Lost Ark” for publicity. Also, throughout football season, the students held contests for each grade and gave tickets to the home games as prizes. Publicizing school talent boosted school morale. Summing the Golden Armor up, Bo said, “The literary magazine is original. It gives students a chance to express their creativity and feel- ings.” The steady work done by the staff paid off and created a magazine that reflected the pow- er that lies within one’s imagination. During class Midge Roney and Joe Mitchell write a script for the show produced by the staff members. Before sending a short story to the printer. Miss Sarah R.

The Informers Observing, writing, editing, printing, and finally distributing. Few people would guess all these factors were involved to simply supply students with newspapers. The fourteen-man staff of the Sword and Shield, advised by Mrs. Mary Ann McNeill, published nine monthly issues covering all aspects of campus life. In- cluded in the newspaper were sports, polls, and other activities that took place involving the student body. Also, students had a chance to voice their opinions in the Letter to the Editor or were able to seek advice in the Dear Aggie column. Since this year's activity fee had to be abol- ished, the papers were again sold for twenty- five cents. Besides the paper containing senior of the month, features on girl and guy of the month, and rookie of the month were also in- cluded. Then, the members went a step further to serve as both a medium of news and a form of entertainment for the student body. Some of the staff produced monthly video programs of Raidernews, under the leadership of Mrs. Elaine Barrett. “We tried our best to serve as a link between the school and the student body, states associate editor David Hammond. “I felt that the students should know what was hap- pening in their school, and we kept this in mind as we prepared each paper. At the Griggs Press, Mrs. Mary Ami McNeill checks a first printing for typographical errors. 164 Sword and Shield On the day before printing, Mike Penland dictates his movie review to Nancy Hall.

Instructing his students on assembling a drag harrow, Mr. Thomas Huffman explains the proper adjustments of bolts to Dennis Caruso and Mike Hair. 166 FFA Challenges The nation’s largest youth organization — the Future F armers of America. As advisor to a small portion of this large club, Thomas Huff- man said, “My role is teaching, leading, and encouraging the students to succeed in the program. As an instructor at the high school, it is quite a feeling to know I’m helping train young people who will some day take on the challenge of tomorrow’s agriculture.” By learning through experience, the FFA programs helped students gain practical skills. Also, the FFA allowed students to test their potential and to explore career possibilities. To help accomplish these possibilities, stu- dents learned parliamentary procedure, public speaking, soil judging, livestock selection, agri- culture mechanics, and safety techniques, in addition to particpating in community activi- ties such as county fairs. To help beautify the school grounds, students planted shrubbery and trees. By constructing cattle equipment and repairing tractors, the organization aided school communities. Mr. Huffman stated, “We have a fine group of young men and women to work with in the FFA.” In the fall, Mr. Thomas Huffman explains a ribbon won by the FFA to new club member Chris Ballenger.

The responsibilty of getting up on time counted as an important obligation in order to be a bus driver. More important than punctual- ity to a bus driver were following the precau- tions and handling the students pro- perly. One driver, Lee Edge, stated, “Don’t try to drive a bus if you can’t put up with children and if you can’t take the noise.” Another driver, Baron Redd, went on to say, “Driving’s easy, but it gets hard sometimes when people give you trouble.” Many parents found placing their children’s safety in the hands of high school students questionable. However, transportation direc- tor, Henry Holmes, remarked, “Student drivers are responsible.” In addition, students were able to earn a little extra money. As Larry Campbell quoted, “It’s like getting paid to come to school.” Although driving a bus presented an added responsibilty for many students, they benefited from the experience. Getting up at five in the morning can be worthwhile. Ready to leave, Robert Clark waits for a late rider to board. Hus Drivers: Front Row: Dianne Stewart. Jackie Williams, Dawn MoKittrick.

While in a student council meeting, Rock Kennedy listens to a report on the prom. To answer a question Mr. Henry Stewart explains the need for new rules to the class officers and homeroom reporters. As a member of the student council voices a problem, Miss Waltina Young and Stanley Beeks listen to his complaint. 170 Student Council Student Strength Students laden with campaign badges started off the beginning of another Student Council election. After a week of campaigning with posters and speeches, students cast their votes and listened closely as the winners re- ceived their recognition. Then under the direc- tion of vice-principal Mr. Henry Stewart, gov- ernment and economics teacher Miss Waltina Young, and student body president Rock Ken- nedy, the Student Council members began im- mediately to fulfill the responsibilities re- quired of their respective positions. In October, the officers directed and orga- nized the homecoming ceremonies with the help of willing students; also, they undertook the task of selling candy canes at Christmas to spread the spirit. Along with candy canes, the members sold flowers at homecoming and on Valentine’s Day. Besides focusing on the stu- dent body, the club tried a new idea of a clothing and canned food drive for the needy. Then, to close out the year with a celebration, the Stu- dent Council sponsored the Junior Senior Prom. Because the representatives sponsored many student-oriented activities, choosing the best candidate signified more student advan- tages. Whether providing students with a way to show their affections or with a means to en- joy school festivities, the Student Council strengthened the student body.

Romance languages, however, often refer to foreign studies. Of the clubs and organizations offered, two revolved around foreign languages — the Spanish Club and the French Club. With the assistance of Adrienne Lowe, president of the Spanish Club, Mr. William Holland arranged activities for the club in- cluding visits to several Mexican res- taurants in Greenville, the creation of a Christmas poster for the commons, and the Spring fiesta. Headed by president Susan Boiter, the French Club’s activities were sponsored by Mrs. Susan Byars. The French Club attended the Foreign Language Festival in Columbia, held the annual Christmas party, and sponsored students for the Declama- tion Contest at Clemson University. Being in either foreign language club gave students a chance to explore a little more of the culture of their chosen lan- guage. Whether they replied “si” or “oui,” both meant “yes” to participating in the ro- mance languages. After class, Dionne Robinson mves Mr. William Holland her money for the Spanish Club field trip.______________ Spanish Club: Front Row: Melinda Parker. Jerry Cobb, Lisa McCarter. Sharon Stroud.

To show their spirit, shrouded members of the FCA bear the coffin of a deceased general in an original skit for the Homecoming pep rally. 174 FCA Athletes Assist “A combination of fellowship and fun” — president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Mike Patterson, felt this phrase de- scribed the FCA. Under the direction of Coach Bobby O’Rear, the club met once every two weeks. Along with parties throughout the year, including a progressive caroling party before Christmas, members of the club gave the prayer before many of the home football games. During the school year members gathered together small baskets of gifts and fruit for resi- dents of the Laurens Nursing Home. In the spring, the club organized a money-making drive, by selling hen mulligan, to finance the club’s activities. ‘The FCA has been a special club to me,” commented Christine Wood. “It gave me a chance to help others along with having a good time with my friends.” In her spare time, Kim McGill consults Coach Bobby O’Rear on preparations for the hen mulligan sale. Following a meeting, Valerie Wood, Nancy Hall, John Crenshaw, and Johna Staggs discuss the club’s future plans. FCA: Front Row: Valerie Williams, Valerie Wood. Giselle Hailey.

Before going to teach, Giselle Bailey, Barbara Beeks, Beth Hannah, Adrienne Lowe, Angie Calhoun, Johnna Hamilton, and Jackie Russell discuss their responsibili- ties with Mrs. Sarah Little. Trial Run Students seeking amateur insight for chosen career goals found both the Future Teachers Organization and the Future Secretaries Asso- ciation useful. Also, these clubs gave students a chance to find out ahead of time their capacities for these fields. The chapter of the FTO consisted of juniors and seniors seeking information and advice on teaching from their advisor , Mrs. Sarah Little. During parents' night, members served as guides in addition to holding a special day for the teachers. On-the-job training offered a good experience opportunity for seniors when they served as practice teachers during the spring. In the line of secretarial work, the FSA con- tained students from accounting, typing, and office procedures classes. With Mrs. Jane Crotts as advisor, these students sold Tom Wat mer- chandise to fund their projects. Buying new office equipment and providing momentos for all members of the senior class included some of the projects. FTO and FSA gave students a trial run in their career choice. Whether teaching or typing, students were able to learn the best way, from experience. FSA-FTO 177 One of the many jobs that office workers Lisa McCarter and Kathy Dunagan do is counting lunch money.

Back Row: Heidi Hedrick, Lauren Irick, Rhonda Williams, Liz Burke, Richie Sullivan, and Jeff Edwards. Books and Files Obtaining a job as a library or office assistant relied on Mrs. Betty Davision, study hall moni- tor. From each of her study hall classes, Mrs. Davison selected interested students who were qualified and responsible. Library assistants helped students find books, stamped books with the return date, and returned books back to the shelf. They also stamped the time and date on passes that teachers sent with the students. When asked how she felt about her job as a library assistant, Rhonda Williams stated, “Working in the li- brary takes the boredom out of study hall, and it makes the time go by quicker. The best thing about it is being able to meet people I do not already know.” Office assistants aided with students’ leaving early, answering the office telephone, and counting money. Taking messages to teachers and showing visitors the school became a re- peated responsibility for office assistants. Students volunteered their time to benefit others. Whether the job entailed working with books or files, the assistants aided the school with their time and efforts. After the collection of lunch money, Kathy Dunagan sorts the coins into the separating machine. Cameramen: Front Row: Jerry Cobb, Bryan Robertson, David Pitts, Lee Howell, and Gary Bobo.

Sweet Success The World’s Finest Chocolate along with fruit baskets sounds like good eating. Actually these foods represented two of the projects members of the Future Homemakers of America under- took. Selling World’s Finest Chocolate financed many of the club’s activities. On the other hand the fruit baskets were given to the elderly at Laurens Memorial Home and the children at Calvin Bridge’s Children’s Home along with small pillows the FHA members had made. In November FHA members visited Charlotte for the Christmas Home Show and for shopping at the Eastland Mall. During the school year, the FHA furnished refreshments for teacher drop- ins at Christmas. The FHA benefited members as well as other people. While teaching students more about homemaking skills, they spread their produc- tivity to both the old and the young. 180 FHA Looking through pattern books.

Striving For Excellence Teacher’s pets went out of style with the horse and buggy. Today, however, students apply themselves in order to earn good grades. As an appreciative reward, the National Honor Societies were set up to acknowledge academi- cally excelled high school students. For an in- vitation into the club, a ninety or higher grade average became the acceptance point. Throughout the year selected members were required to prove more than just their academic capabilities. At the beginning of the year, the Honor Society participated in an orientation program for freshmen by serving as guides. Also during the school’s first Open House, many members acquainted parents with the arrangement of rooms. Being nursery maids was another task for volunteer members when babysitters were needed at the choral concerts. In addition to giving their time, the members donated a pencil machine in the commons for everyone’s use. This club required that stu- dents keep up their grades and serve the com- munity as well. The Junior and Senior Honor Societies, however, insured that student’s academic accomplishments did not go un- noticed. The Christmas tree is almost completed as Gigi Brady adds the final icicles.

NJHS and NHS 183 Finding A Niche In society every person looks for a niche to expand his ideas; in high school each student searches for a place to distinguish his individual- ity. For many students, Distributive Education Clubs of America and Vocational Industrial Clubs of America provided these outlets. Under the direction of Mrs. Susan Randall and Mr. Louis Marino, DECA students partici- pated in a variety of recreational activities, such as kickball, softball, and volleyball. By selling candy, the members helped earn money to design and enter a float in the Laurens Christmas parade. During the Christmas holi- days, the students also celebrated with a party at the Shrine Club on Lake Greenwood. Later in the year, they held a spring banquet at the Laurens YMCA. On the other hand, VICA member concen- trated their efforts toward selling popcorn, ice cream, candy, and T-shirts. Mr. Woodrow Cren- shaw directed the club consisting of electricity students. Both DECA and VICA members found a place to pursue their interests within the two clubs. In addition to giving students individuality, the two clubs also showed students how to work as a group.

The membership con- sisted of sixty-four students from the junior and senior classes. Along: with Mr. and Mrs. Sam Oakes as advi- sors, club members demonstrated their willing- ness to serve by acquiring twelve service hours which required doing some task that benefited the community. These tasks ranged from work- ing on the Christmas parade float to donating blood for the annual blood drive. As a service to the school, members popped corn for basketball and baseball games. Also , each month the club selected a senior girl and guy of the month and a freshman as rookie of the month. “This year I felt that the participation and cooperation of the members were excellent,” commented the club’s president, Mike Patter- son. “With the intended goals met, the Key Club became stronger than the year before.

Every Friday of a home football or basketball game students yelled “Go Raiders,” “Get Fired Up,” or other chants as they psyched the Raid- ers for the oncoming game. For thirty minutes, over 1,000 members of the Pep Club met with the cheerleaders and Pep Band for spirit rous- ing geared toward the victory of the Raiders. Performing skits, introducing players, and learning new chants took place during pep ral- lies; through these activities the Pep Club pro- vided an outlet for students to demonstrate their school pride and boast their Raider spirit. At the close of a pep rally, Victor joins the students in sing- ing the Alma Mater.

Pep Club 189 _______Seeking Success The initiative of a goal, the demand of a challenge, the spark of an interest — all formed a kaleidoscope of opportunities in classes. When students took advantage of these openings, they found a whole new visage. Although the academic program required some classes, many electives offered students a chance to expand in fields of their own choosing. Appropriate classes for students who planned to further their education after high school also played a large part in development. Teachers and faculty members worked toward contending with students’ shortcomings and strengthening their basic knowledge. Two new programs evolved from the math and English departments. Allowing students to work at their own pace and at their level became the foundation for the new Basic Skills Assessment Program. Secondly, the sequential curriculum program formed to academically unify incoming freshmen from Ford, Hickory Tavern, Gray Court-Owings, and Laurens Junior High. Additionally, the Assessment of Teacher Performance instrument for teacher evaluation focused on teacher abilities. Former principal Mr. Travis Langford evaluated classroom performances including items such as communication and class response. All classes combined to meet the needs of students. Primarily, the faculty worked to prepare each individual for the life style of his choice. New horizons were possibilities in each different class — students had only to take the initiative to reach the success they sought. Puzzled by a problem on his geometry test, Bruce Franks searches for the answer. 190 Academics Confident in her subject matter, Mrs. Anne Sheppard suggests possible answers to a student’s question. During an art class, Mrs. Barbara Brinson instructs Melvin Coleman in the techniques of sketching. With Coach Bobby O’Hear’s help. Maria Carter, Anita Rice, Leslie Wimphrie, and Linda Walker research history projects on Indian tribes. Academics 191 Trade Training Careers and trades—some students started preparing by taking vocation- al classes in high school. Of the many classes, each fell under one of the five divisions. While electricity classes worked with electrical circuits, theories, and motors, students in auto mechanics spent most of their time under car hoods overhauling engines and turn- ing transmissions. Beautifying the school grounds, agriculture students learned crop production, farm machine operation, and soil identifica- tion. In distributive education, stu- dents learned the procedures of marketing, and obtaining and main- taining a job. Also, building construc- tion students improved their skills, in- terpreting blueprints and building plans while machine shop students operated grinders, drill presses, and lathes. Due to the intricate details of certain items, many vocational stu- dies spanned two class periods. As students participated in voca- tional studies, they prepared them- selves for future careers. Besides helping themselves, these students also maintained the school by ap- plying their skills for odd-end jobs like changing lights, building stage props, fixing cars and planting trees. Inspecting the differential for trouble spots. Ronnie Beagle, Greg Hampton, Albert Abrams, and Ernest Shaw complete the day’s work in auto mechanics. While Mrs. Susan Randall lectures, Stanley Foggie takes notes for the exam in distributive education 192 Vocational Studies In agricultural mechanics.

Barbara Cheeks sets tab stops and back spaces to center a subtitle. Observed by James Webb and Debra Sumeral, Tina Rowland demonstrates how to clean the elements. Keeping her eyes on her copy, Angela Chaney types exercises in shorthand. 194 Business Occupations Rat-a-tat-tat For future careers and personal use, students scheduled themselves in business courses. Among the courses available were Typing I and II, Shor- thand I and II, Accounting I and II, and Introduction to Business and Office Procedures. Primarily, these courses allowed students to prepare themselves for an occupation in the commercial world. Out of these clas- ses, an average of one-third of the par- ticipants found jobs related to their experience. Openings for accountants, clerk typists, and word processors pro- vided opportunities for many gradu- ates. In accounting class, Mark Hutcherson and Anthony Pinson calculate and record figures. Although all courses were opened to eleventh and twelfth graders, ninth and tenth graders were limited to business introductory classes. For office procedures and short- hand, students also needed at least one year of typing experience. When asked about the business de- partment Mrs. Jane Crotts replied, “The Business and Office Education Department is an excellent place for students to prepare for entry into the world of work. It can also be a stepping stone for acquiring skills that will be useful while furthering one’s educa- tion.” Of all the occupational courses, there were more typing classes than anything else, so the familiar rat-a- tat-tat of the machines echoed through the halls. Finding their work almost impossible without the aid of an adding machine. Tyrus Pryor and Teresa Garrett work to complete their classwork. Business Occupations 195 After teaching one of several Shakespearean plays, Mrs. Anna Mims listens as a student depicts his understanding of the lesson. 196 English Back To Basics Shakespeare, comma splices, and the eight parts of speech made their way back into students’ lives as com- position, literature, and grammar books filled students’ lockers. Along with the common mistakes and rules came a supplement to the English program, the Basic Skills Assessment Program. As a requirement, freshmen took this test which determined their accomplishments in writing and read- ing. Basically the program aided teachers in evaluating both students’ strong and weak areas. Continuing the use of educational television, the literature programs Spending her free time wisely, Sabrina Cunningham does her assigned homework. helped students interpret plays and novels. For an authentic feeling of true drama, Honors English and some academic students visited Charlotte to see a collection of Shakespearean plays. During the year, two student teachers took over English classes for experience. Mrs. Anne Sheppard stated the central problem as, “We don’t have the time to do everything we should.” As one of the traditional subjects, students must acquire four credits of English to graduate. In the words of Mrs. Anna Mims, securing “the ability to communicate freely and effective- ly” would be the biggest asset to stu- dents. Having difficulties with their classwork, Greg Ziegler and Kent Corley consult Mrs. Margaret Hobson for further help. Asked about a question on the board, Mr. Jimmy Brown offers Janice Stevenson his help. English 197 Fitness Drive Driving and physical fitness were two main concerns of teenagers dur- ing their high school years. Two class- es offered on the curriculum concen- trated specifically on these wants. With the help of Coach Mike Lindley and Coach Steve Boyd, interested stu- dents learned the basic skills of driv- ing through behind-the-wheel train- ing. Although many licensed drivers took the course, they benefited by im- proving their driving abilities and re- ducing their insurance payments. As a co-ed course, physical educa- tion was chosen as an elective by both ninth and tenth graders. Given a choice, students participated in a different activity each nine weeks while freshmen also had to take half of a semester of Community and Family Health. Acquiring a driver’s license and maintaining a good physique counted as primary concerns of many high school students. To avoid injury and cramps. Kelvin Bailey and other physical education students improve muscle tone through toe touches. As they return to school, Tammy Leopard asks Coach Mike Lindley about her braking proce- dure. � With her teammate Gloria Merrill calling for a steal, Tonette Boyd blocks Cynthia Massey’s attempt for a game-winning basket. 198 P.E. and Drivers’ Ed Before leaving for behind-the-wheel training.

For Home Economics and Family Living students, topics such as these were nothing unusual. Both classes provided practical exposure to the adult world. Preparations for Home Economics classes included sewing and child care. By actually cooking a meal, stu- dents applied what they learned in class; as an added bonus, these stu- dents sampled their creations. Of the clothes worn by students, many ori- ginated from the Home Economics pod. Whether sewing or cooking, teenagers learned trades that could be beneficial in their futures. Not unlike Home Economics, Fami- ly Living also concentrated on prepar- ing students for the future. Balancing budgets, writing resumes, and ex- periencing trials of marriage life co- vered many class activities. Staging family problems and solving them kept the classes busy all year. Held in the spring, mock weddings interested and entertained a great number of the student body. By giving students first hand direc- tions, Home Economics and Family Living offered insights into adult acti- vities. Collectively, these two classes could be summed up in two words — preparatory pointers. Working on recipes for the home economics cooking day. Sharon Evans, Kathy Nance, Charlene Whitmire, and Annie Dillard plan a balanced meal. 200 Home Ec and Family Living As the bride in a mock wedding, Patricia Westfield receives assistance from Michelle Dennis in selecting a veil.

W'hile Miss Waltina Young discusses the assignment, 5th period sociology students copy notes from the overhead projector. Past Times Examining the past or the nature of humans, both the history and the psychology sociology classes helped solve the problems of man by learning from the past and from each other. Deep into classical conditioning and Freud, students might hear war yelps and gun shots coming from films in the next room. Under department head Miss Walti- na Young, the history department offered a range of courses, both elec- tive and required. As freshmen and sophomores, students could choose to take Citizenship, World Geography, and World History; however, gradua- tion requirements demanded juniors and seniors to take U.S. History and Government Economics respectively. As for the psychology sociology class- es they explained behavior manner- isms and social behaviors. To increase aptitude, students took part in teaching children, performing commer- cials, and watching films. Futher- more, Miss Young held open class dis- cussions where students could share their experiences and always their feelings. With an assignment occupying her students' time. Miss Debra Williams records test grades. 202 Social Studies While looking over his notes, Keith Weisner questions Miss Waltina Young about the importance of taxes on today’s society.

Reading the sentences with his classmates, Jim Carter checks his French homework. 204 Foreign Languages Foreign Affairs Parlez-vous francais? Hablas Espa- nol? For students taking French and Spanish, phrases such as these started off their foreign language stu- dies. In both first year classes, teachers introduced students to key verbs, dia- logues, and limited vocabulary. For continued studies, pupils advanced to irregular verbs, lengthy conversa- tions, expanded word knowledge, and geographical locations. Audio-visual equipment enhanced the classroom study with culturally authentic tapes and films. While Mr. William Holland taught Spanish, Mr. Ralph Brown and Mrs. Susan Byars instructed French classes. In their second year of a foreign lan- guage, students could choose whether or not to join the club of their chosen language. Additionally, visiting Spain and France became opportunities for interested students. When asked how she felt about the classes, Mrs. Byars stated, “French is fun and exciting to me; it’s never boring.” Taking either foreign language offered many extra benefits. Besides the clubs and trips, students also widened their knowledge by taking on the language of another people. Replying to an oral test question, Kim Harris works on the enunciation of her vowels.

While Mr. Mitchell Patterson assigns an experiment, Susan Weathers and Angela Campbell begin their lab preparation. 206 Math and Science Brain Books, formulas, equations and re- peated calculations all consisted as part of the wide range of courses offered by the math and science de- partments. Respectively, math and science department heads, Mrs. Sarah L. Smith and Mr. Harold Ligon, super- vised the programs that stimulated the minds of students. Ranging from the most basic of math courses to advanced math, trigo- nometry, and calculus, the math de- partment furnished a diversified cur- riculum. These courses tingled the brain cells of students who had the initiative and desire to expand their mathematic horizons for future stu- dies and possible careers. In math class, Teresa Laws displays a problem for her class. Work Students interested in the scientific fields such as physical science, biolo- gy, chemistry, and physics could probe the secrets of life and questions of the universe. By conducting experiments and research, they could provide con- clusions to the problems that have troubled and puzzled man since the beginning of time. The many long days and nights of tests, homework, calculations, and conclusions rewarded students who participated in the programs provided by both the math and science depart- ments. With many questions still un- answered, both departments not only provided students with a foundation but also encouraged them to conduct their own experiments and to seek their own hypotheses. With a homework problem in hand, Greg: McClain questions Miss Nena Hood before the tardy bell. Students in Mrs. Debbie Curry’s pre-calculus class pet an early start on their homework. Math and Science 207 Strictly Senses Work and fun — these words seem to contradict each other; work and pleasure, however, do not conflict for students participating in artistic expression. Drama, band, chorus, and art students sacrificed pleasures and free time to improve and develop their talents. Ranging from hilarious to serious, situations were dramatized throughout the year in the form of plays. Learning lines, building props, working lights, painting signs, and correcting errors were all essential to producing a play. Entertainment at a football game during halftime became the responsibility of the band. Hours of practice went into preparation as marching drills accompanied the music. In addition, the band entered many contests against other schools. Musical entertainment did not come only from the band; the school choruses also performed in the Lecture Theater for the community. Rehearsals, weeks in advance, were necessary to refine presentations for the public. Especially-talented members sang in Concert Choir, and many attended all-state auditions. Other talented students concentrated, instead, on using their hands. Learning the techniques of different brushes and other tools was as complicated as learning how to use mechanical tools. Screen paintings and oil paintings both required skill and concentration. Throughout the year, art students had the opportunity to exhibit their talents in galleries. Entertaining the community and school took willing and talented students. After forfeiting time and other enjoyments, however, students realized that entertainment is not only work but also fun.

Whatever It Takes Right face! About face! Parade rest! Raider band members heard these commands and many others in late July when they hit the prac- tice field. Devoted primarily to learning and reviewing, the first few days of practice covered the fundamentals and techniques of marching. During the first week of summer camp in Au- gust at Newberry College, band members spent hours marching and rehearsing; by the end of the week, however, each member’s individual contribution merged to create the entire con- test show. With the arrival of football season, the band presented pre-game and halftime shows. In addition to football games, the Raider band, under the direction of Mr. Andrew Hodges and drum major Cathy Wasson, competed in march- ing contests. During the Furman Music Bowl, the band placed as finalists in the top ten. Later at the Boiling Springs Marching Band Contest, they placed second and brought home the first trophy of the year. At Spring Valley High School in Columbia for the State March- ing Contest, the Band achieved a superior continued on page 212) Hand 211 Whatever It Takes (continued from page 211) rating. Following State, the band marched in the Clinton, Gray Court, Laurens, and Whitten Center Christmas parades and took first place in both Clinton and Gray Court. After the Christmas holidays, 53 individuals participated in the State Solo and Ensemble Festival held at the University of South Caroli- na. Compared to seventeen students the pre- vious year, 36 brought home superior ratings. Later in January, 10 members were chosen for the All-State band and 18 made Western Region Band. During February, the concert band re- hearsed for concert festival, the last competi- tive event of the year. Giving concerts at dis- trict schools, the band performed various types of music. One of the most popular divisions, the jazz band held concerts with music ranging from pop to jazz. In addition to the usual fall and spring concerts, the band presented a concert for the student body. Also, the jazz band traveled to Laurens Junior High and Ford schools entertaining other students. With the band growing in size each year, it also increased in volume and strength. The suc- cess of the band relied on talent, practice, lead- ership, and the desire to reach a common goal. Answering band students’ questions at Laurens Junior High school, Marty Babb explains the summer practice program. 212 Band While the stage crew sets up, Paula Word watches as Lena Gilliam rehearses her solo in Russian Christmas Music.

Sing Out Phrasing, toning, supporting, blending and expressing — these terms were more than familiar to the 300 choral students. In order to produce the best sounds, students studied musical techniques as well as voice harmony. Individually, Lyric I and II, and Concert Choir practiced and memorized music through- out the school year. Finally combining their talents, they performed sold-out concerts at Christmas and in the Spring. Directed by Mrs. Harriet Brewington, the two beginner choruses, Lyric I, with 90 girls, and Troubadours I, with 55 boys, worked on basic skills and voice placement. Outside of the classroom, the students sang at the courthouse and several area schools. Containing 63 girls in Lyric II and 40 boys in Troubadours II, the advanced choruses fell under the direction of Mrs. Caroline McCauley. Stressing tone quality and blend, these choral students traveled to other schools to provide entertainment and to participate in All-State auditions, (continued on page 217) As the Concert Choir vocalizes, student teacher Miss Joyce Roof utilizes Kodaly scales.

From this year’s All-State auditions 15 students received All-State ratings and 12 reached the highest rating of honors. In March, the chosen 27 students were housed at Win- throp College for an All-State weekend. Besides being a learning experience, the choral departments informed students about self-discipline and musicality. Commenting on the year, Mrs. Caroline McCauley stated, “I felt as though we made good progress, and I’m very proud of our concert accomplishments. I am also pleased with the interest students had in chorus and the way they worked so well together.” To distribute fund raising products, Jody Hanvey and Beth Kiddle check the invoice.

Raider Style Actors, lecturers, and salesmen rely on poise, correct enunciation, and communication for success in their trades. In order to obtain these attributes, several hundred students reg- istered to take drama classes. Filing into their classes, students found a new teacher — previously an actress from The Lost Colony, Miss Jimi-Ann Carnes. Reflecting on her classes, Miss Carnes said, “My philoso- phy of teaching is to make education fun for my students. I think that students learn more if I’m excited about the subject and if I use new ideas and concepts.” Including methods such as dramatic impro- visations, impromptu speeches, and humorous monologues, Miss Carnes taught students to write, speak, and perform both effectively and confidently. Regarding her first year Miss Carnes said, “I’ve enjoyed my first year, and I’ve been very impressed with everyone at the school. I’m looking forward to next year with high expectations for the classes and the drama department.” Portrayed by .Mary Sinclear and Jami Lyon, Dorothy and Toto realize that there is no place like home. 218 Drama Drama Club: Front Row: Karon Moorchead, Sandra Smart.

Coming Out Seeing, feeling, expressing, growing, dis- covering, searching, and appreciating, all go into composing a work of art according to Mrs. Barbara Brinson, but these qualities also apply in making speeches. As electives both art and speech classes guided students in de- veloping their talents. Art classes consisted of more than just drawing, painting, and sculpting. Instead, the classes approached teaching students to visualize subjects artistically and to appreci- ate works of others. With the use of two and three dimensional media, students solved problems and exhibited their individuality. When asked for her definition, the art teacher stated, “Art is a way to express yourself in a constructive manner, to search and discover, to unlock hidden talents, and to improve skills.” Under the guidance of a new teacher, Miss Jimmi-Ann Carnes, the speech classes con- centrated on speaking in public effectively.

Art and Speech 221 Sponsors Shifting into high demanded, among other factors, support. From many directions, support shaped the accomplishments achieved by students this past year. Support originated within the school by the students themselves. In athletics, both players and spectators issued support in the form of team spirit. In addition, clubs represented the school to demonstrate school enthusiasm. As always, money seemed to be an important factor. In return for publicity and advertising, business establishments gave plentifully to sponsor the journalism staffs. Also, clubs acquired financial aid from extra curricular activities. They solicited monetary support from the community. Another form of support, which parents and friends gave, required their own time. Backing the teams, parents and pupils attended all the games and cheered on the players. Parents provided financial as well as moral support. They continued to make sure their children had the fewest possible responsibilities at home so they could devote more time to their other interests. Everyone had his own way in which to show his morale. Through financial or personal support, sponsors became a vital part of shifting into high.

Best all around: Mike Patterson and Susan Boiter. Senior Superlatives were selected by their classmates. Index 261 Racing Ahead One hundred and eighty days — new friends and new knowledge lending to maturity — slipped by too quickly for some and too slowly for others. In nine months, waking before sunrise, scrambling until 8:20, and persisting throughout the day developed into a routine. Football season, Christmas holidays, and an unexpected snow vacation dissolved into mid-year blues with a conspicuous outbreak of absences, crushed by an incurable siege of spring fever. As sunlight warmed afternoons in late May and students saw the bottoms of lockers again, each person held on to memories and looked forward to accomplishments. With legs stretched for better leverage, Lee Dixon pins his opponent’s shoulders to the mat. Even though it’s the last period of the day. David Little keeps his mind on his work as Mrs. Jean Patterson gives him individual help. 262 Racing Ahead ourtTnar As the intense feeling of anticipation ripples through the line, Brian Burns’ voice cuts the tension with every signal. One of the nominees for the Mr. Legs contest, Gerald Foggie struts for members of the Pep Club. Depositing point cards in teachers’ mailboxes, assistant principal Mr. Clarence Mills checks for accurate homeroom sections. Racing Ahead 263 Racing Ahead The spirit of the year shone through, growing stronger and going farther — shifting into high. After nine months’ work, unwon contests and unprocured A’s seemed to mar a year of success. The labor of sportsmen and students, however, strengthened the body and the individuals. Chorus members in All-State and wrestlers in the state tournament brought not only triumph to the persons, but also recognition for the school. Underachievements initiated efforts to outdo the expected. During the year college-bound and work-minded individuals prepared for the future, but with the closing of school, Myrtle Beach motels filled with students temporarily free. Escaping from the noisy atmosphere surrounding him in commons, Mr. Tommy Sublett sinks deep in thought. 264 Racing Ahead Prospects and outcomes seemed to have been decided for the school and its components of the past year. Recurring bursts of energy signaled the move — racing ahead. Computing the total amount of his order, Frank Crowe completes his form for graduation materials.
