Seventeen hundred students together strove to excel. Each student refined his talents by making changes. Whether a minor change in study habits or the major change in a new athletic director, the effort toward success was apparent in all that students undertook. As the new athletic director, Buddy Jennings made many turnabouts in the football team as the Raiders rose to a winning season. Refinement meant practice and work for the team, and the enthusiasm displayed by the fans gave the Raiders much-needed support. While the Raiders devoted their interest, time, and hard work, other organizations also refined themselves. The chorus and band tuned up for a new season, both practicing for placement in state competitions. For the band it was the state marching contest, and for the chorus, students polished their talents before auditions to place in the all-state chorus. Changes for efficiency, such as the new computer service, assisted the guidance department in speeding along student registrations and report cards. The service updated the guidance systems and relieved many of the pressures put on the personnel. Pressures were part of refinement; students worked year round for the excellence expected of them by (continued on p.5) To improve teamwork.

As they worked for grades, students also tried to perfect their talents. Arts, crafts, and wood work- ings were proudly displayed at the county fair, showing the drive in each student to perfect and to excel. Refining the gold meant different things to different students, but everyone knew that to refine the school also meant refin- ing one’s self. Wanting to succeed, stu- dents worked to develop their skills and to advance the school. As a result, each student played an important role in refin- ing the gold.

Student Life Moving Into Action Student life—a combination of all daily, weekly, and monthly activities. Meetings, sports, clubs, academics, and jobs occupied students’ lives. From the first school day to the last, activity eliminated free time. School work, for many, started be- fore the opening day of classes; band members, football players, and cheerleaders endured long practice hours. Bus drivers began to learn new bus routes while teachers prepared for the onrush of pupils. In the fall, club advisors structured their schedules and selected their members. As the first nine weeks progressed, qualifications for entrance into specific clubs became apparent; for example, the National Hon- or Society required a “B” average. Later in the year, powderpuff football and Homecoming festivities exhausted stu- dents’ free time. Planning, practicing, and performing involved students of many talents. Academics played a major role in student life. Students struggled, year round, for excellence; a grade of merit demanded many hours of effort. Both teachers and students worked throughout the year to advance their skills. After the 2:50 bell, many students hurried to the cars and rushed to their part time jobs. These jobs financed weekend activities and exposed students to the working world. As weekends approached, students focused on fun. Relaxing or dating filled every weekend with action. Sunday closed weekly involvement with friendly games of backyard football or softball. Churches ini- tiated youth participation in community related projects. Student life involved students in many aspects of school and community and helped them to begin searching for their goals. Student life became part of the re- fining process.

Johnt-ll Davis Richard Robert ) Summer Summer, synonymous with vacation, created a chance to relax from the every- day monotony of school. Although fun at first, relaxation quickly transformed itself into boredom. Having fun became an ob- jective worked for and desired. School’s end was usually launched by the envied Myrtle Beach week. Students from all over the state gathered to celebrate the beginning of summer. Tanning on the beach, swimming in the pools, and social- izing at the pavillion filled the week with activity. When the week ended, students returned to their respective homes to con- tinue the summer. In mid-summer, routines were established, and weekend skiers once again populated Lake Greenwood. While in Laurens, the YMCA and 3M swimming pool filled with people trying to escape the heat. Tennis courts became increasingly hard to find, At Jennifer Cogdill’s house on Lake Green- wood. Sandy Henderson takes advantage of sum mer vacation by relaxing at the lake with friends. With the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville.

Billy Horner cleans the meat counter at six o’clock —the closing time for Siebert's Grocery on West Main Street. Gu Youman Is a Verb and reservations had to be made to get courts either at the YMCA or the Jamie Pennell Park. Summer jobs played an im- portant part for students as McDonalds. Hardee’s, Winn Dixie, Food Town, Sky City, and others hired student job applicants. The 1982 World’s Fair attracted students, families, and friends out of state. Held in Knoxville, Tennessee, the fair provided a chance to see bits of the world. Foreign nations erected pavillions regarding the theme—energy. Toward the end of summer, last minute efforts took place to read that long- awaited novel or to plan final summer trips. Looking forward to entering old cliques once again, students also anticipat- ed meeting new friends. The windup finally came when freshman orientation began on August 11. Summer is a verb; whether one just swims, relaxes, or vacations, all symbolize involvement and action.

Johncll Davi� New Wave Stiff shoulders, ringing ears, and a lean pocketbook — do you have these symp- toms of overindulgence? Offers of routine entertainment surface season after season; new alternatives, however, like Pac Man hit the limelight for Laurens’ youth. Both young and old fell victim in epidemic pro- portions to the new wave of video games. Quarter-consuming arcades quickly deplet- ed weekly allowances. No longer satisfied with simple pinball games, students turned to the fast, computerized action of Aster- oids, Centipede, and Donkey Kong. Quarters later turned to dollars as stu- dents entered theaters. On dates or in groups, students enjoyed features includ- ing Steven Spielberg’s E.T., the summer’s biggest hit, and Poltergiest, a tale of a ghost invading an urban family. Also in- cluded was Friday the 13th in Super 3D, a vast improvement over the tradi- tional scary movie. Even particular stu- dents found movies that suited their tastes. For live entertainment, students could travel out of town to concerts offered in Greenville and Atlanta or at the Carowinds’ paladium. With ticket prices $8.00 and up, students carefully chose an artist whether Kenny Rogers, Loverboy, or Rick James. Whatever the plans, students often includ- ed a meal to start or to finish the Richard Robertson evening. In or around Laurens, they usually chose food ranging from seafood to steak to pizza. While out of town, stu- dents often went on shopping sprees. Armed with charge cards or cash, they filled the malls buying clothes, albums, and books. Entertainment, the possibilities are endless, as are the things students do for fun. Entertainment changes as do the stu- dents. The treadmill of student monotony flows into the new wave.

During the last few weeks of summer, students were involved in activities from spending vacations at the World’s Fair to descending upon near- by shopping malls. In addition to purchasing school clothes, students made other preparations also. To arrange school transportation, they called either the school to obtain a bus number or some friends to establish a carpool. Still others persuaded their parents to drop them at school or to let them use the car. In order to park his car in the student parking areas close to the school. Ken Garrett purchases his permit for one dollar from Mr. Henry Stewart during lunch. After stocking up on supplies and arrang- ing transportation, students’ thoughts turned to the first day back in school. As that day drew nearer, students busied themselves by phoning friends to decide on clothes to wear and the time to arrive. Next, students discussed meeting places so that they could compare schedules and catch up on the summer’s events. When August 23 arrived, anxious students from as far as 20 miles away filled the school. Once again the familiar tone sounded and another year began. Teach- ers held their first class meetings, and stu- dents accumulated books and assignments. Students found time, in spite of the work load, to join extra-curricular activities and to visit with old friends. Each realized that the return to school involved more than just textbooks.

To introduce a new chant to the student body at the Laurens versus Newberry pep rally. Allison Townsend silences the crowd in order to proceed. Leading the Way Seniors, the involved, whether leading the pep rally in a cheer or heading the Student Council, seniors assumed leadership roles. From freshmen orienta- tion, the first school event, to graduation on the last day of school, they led the year’s affairs. When students entered high school, their goal was to become seniors and later graduate. Directed by seniors, Student Council planned special activities throughout the year. Leaving for lunch and pep rallies early, seniors set the precedent in student activities. All through the year, seniors prepared for graduation by having several class meet- ings. Josten’s representative helped stu- dents select materials such as invitations, keys, caps, gowns, and memory books. Many freshmen looked up to seniors; sophomores envied them while juniors quietly bided their time until they achieved seniority. Seniors knowing that it was their last year involved themselves, indulged themselves, and enjoyed themselves. Making every activity count, seniors always held in the back of their minds graduation—the last class meeting of their high school career — which launched the major turning points of their lives.

In addition to the annual powderpuff football game and the crowning of the Homecoming Queen and her court, activities for the week promoted school spirit. Spon- sored by the cheerleaders and the Student Council, the week provided an introduction to the crowning night. The Student Council sold spirit flowers throughout the week in each homeroom. On Friday, students collect- ed the flowers which they had pur- chased. In many cases, these flowers were given to special friends to com- memorate Homecoming 1982. Cheerleaders sponsored costume days which brought unusual attire and many laughs. On Monday, tacky day. students could be seen around the pods with mismatched clothes and oth- er odd assortments. Tuesday brought punk day with sights ranging from multicolored hair to psychedelic cloth- ing. Students stepped out in their very best on Wednesday for dress-up day. A change of pace occurred on Thurs- day; students enjoyed a more relaxed apparel — sweatshirts and jeans. Friday arrived to find everyone showing his true colors—green and gold. Bringing the week to a close, a Homecoming pep rally was held. The cheerleaders led Raider fans in a rousing display of school spirit. Antici- pating a Homecoming victory, students left the rally anxious for the crowning of a new Homecoming Queen. Homecoming Sponsor� and Representative� Front Row: Kim Ham , .lame Cunningham.

Homecoming Week 17 Reverse Play As the last few notes of the national anthem, sung by Harley Griffin, rang out, the senior and junior girls formed huddles and reviewed game plans. Tension peaked as the starting buzzer signaled the kickoff with the juniors to receive after winning the toss. Under the coaching of Mr. Paul Mitchell and Mr. Mike Stroud with student assitance by Lori Seymour, the senior girls capitalized on a passing game for their offense and worked on developing a strong defensive line to stop the juniors. Directed by Mr. James Latimore and Mr. George Austin with student assistance from Fred Whitmire and Ken Boone, the juniors developed key strategies against the seniors including right and left sweeps and quarterback sneaks. As the game got underway the echoing chants of the male cheerleaders rang in the background. The antics of these fe- male impersonators entertained the fans throughout the game. Mike Seymour, Bill Tumblin, Henry Mahon, and Willie Choice supplied fans with chants, cheers, and modified pyramids. During the powderpuff halftime, the an- nouncement was made for the prince for each class and powderpuff King. The student body selected Donnie Cunningham as freshman prince, Leroy Hunter as sophomore prince, Tim Norris as junior prince, and Joe Mitchell as senior prince. Also chosen by popular vote, Bobby Jones was crowned powderpuff King. As the night’s activities came to a close, the seniors emerged victorious over the juniors with a score of 21-7. Walking off the field, junior and senior girls had promoted homecoming spirit and enter- tained the crowd. Immediately after Stanley Beeks an- nounces Bobby Jones as powderpuff King, Lee Dixon congratulates him.

Patty Gieg Bailey Two-week Walt As the festivities of Homecoming Week came to an end, students anx- iously waited the announcement of the Homecoming Queen, but they had to wait an extra two weeks because of the postponement due to rain. Al- though students were disappointed Homecoming committees had extra time to prepare. During the week, alumni again planned to attend the football game where the Homecoming activities took place at the Laurens- Mauldin game. Everyone waited for the halftime buzzer to sound — signaling the begin- ning of the Homecoming activities. Weeks of preparation went into effect as student volunteers assembled the bridge on which the girls would be introduced to the crowd. Nervous girls stood in line waiting for their turn to walk over the bridge. When all the names were called, they stood in an arc awaiting the reading of winning names. Debbie price was named freshman prin- cess, Beth Riddle —sophomore princess, Tara Adams — junior princess, and Charlene Beasley—senior princess. Then came the big moment, as Patty Lanford was named Homecoming queen. Last year’s queen, Susan Boiter, crowned Pat- ty. When asked what she thought, Patty said, “It was just incredible being chosen; I just couldn’t believe it was me!” During the Homecoming festivities.

Homecoming Court 21 Dream Brought to Life As spring and April approached so did the 1982 Prom. Nervous guys once again asked their special girls to go to the Ju- nior-Senior, held in the commons on April 17. In preparation, a prom committee was set up. Consisting of students and teach- ers, the committee made most of the de- cisions involving the event. This main committee established five other committees—planning, food, finance, secu- rity, and decorations. After deciding on the prom date and invitations, the contro- versy of the theme arose. Students sug- gested ideas to the prom committee, and after revision, Unforgettable Dream was chosen as the theme. The theme was then turned over to Miss Jimmi-Ann Carnes, drama teacher, who faced the task of bringing the dream to life. Blues, greens, and purples created on outdoor effect in the commons, which was chosen over the gym because of its workability. An abstract tree in the commons’ center, gardens along the walls, a bridge in the entranceway, and a foun- tain in a corner brought spring indoors. Dim lights and suspended stars simulated night. Miss Carnes stated, “It was a chal- lenge to take commons and create an outdoor atmosphere, but experience as a drama teacher helped.” Invitations went on sale for $12.00 per couple or per person. Guests who were not student body members completed re- quired request forms for admittance; these applications were reviewed by an appointed committee. At the prom, both a disc jockey and a band entertained. The band, Risse, played varied pieces of music, while the disc jockey Rod Metz from WANS played popular music between band sets. Finger foods were1 prepared courtesy of the home economics department. Fred Pickens, a professional photographer, took pictures of those at- tending to record the moment. Concerning the event Marty Babb said, “Everyone enjoyed it, and the effect was worth all the work put into it.” An in , crease from last year’s ninety couples to one hundred and ninety-five this year showed a definite increase in student in- volvement.

Although the high school concentrated on academics, Laurens students did not confine their studies to the school alone. Interests and activities involved them in the Laurens community. Along with the students, academics meant an overall development. Scholastics became more than the “A” in class; it developed into personal achievement. Being chosen leader of a specific club or being a member of the Student Council also formed academics. Learning created academics for students, whether in or out of the classroom. Involvement became a form of learning. Clubs, councils, and sports all became part of the learning experience. Students re- ceived support from teachers, parents, and friends to help them through the year. Effort and perserverence were required to ex- cel in and out of school. School provided an atmosphere of study, but learning was carried throughout the year. Dating, foot- ball games, and home life pre- pared students for the future. Stu- dents gained knowledge through both fun and work. The learning experience became part of refining the gold. For a mythology assignment these practical English students complete question sheets about the material for Miss Katherine Emanuel. Academics 25 While Anita Rice checks over her homework, Angela Rogers punches in a formula in the computer. Along with traditional sites seen in the math and science classrooms, new additions could be seen as well. Math students learned the basics of mathemat- ics, but many new ideas such as the geometry classes working to apply geometry to real life situations were introduced. In the science classes, students learned the periodic table and the human anatomy and in addition some practical applications of the sci- ences. Along with the new applica- tions of materials learned during the year, the departments utilized many new teaching devices; over- head projectors, additional lab equipment, and films contributed to class presentations. The math department showed an anti- anxiety film to help reduce ten- sions and improve student success in the math courses. The Basic Skills Assessment Program demonstrated a marked improve- ment in basic math skills usage. With courses offered from the basic to the advanced, students had a wide spectrum of courses from which to choose. The only new course offered in the math or science areas, Introduction to Computers, had a limited enrollment due to the availability of only four terminals. This popular course proved to be a demanding one, and plans for ex- pansion were made. With the new methods and teaching aides added to an already strong program, the math and science departments grew in- creasingly stronger throughout the year. These departments kept the old and expanded with the new. Eddi Jsnkms Grasping the test tube carefully in order to pour the solution into the re- actionary element.

Drivers’ Education and Physical Education were two courses offered to students that added a well-rounded curriculum for the school. Through these courses students learned skills which will be beneficial to them in their adult lifes and that are easily applied to everyday life. Under the direction of Mr. Mike Lindley and Coach Steve Boyd, students learned the skills of safe driving. Six weeks in the classroom familiarized the participants with the driver’s handbook. Six hours with behind-the-wheel training and twelve hours riding with a licensed driver prepared students to handle an automobile. Besides learning safe driving techniques, students successfully completing the course benefited by a ten percent re- duction in insurance premiums. Physical Education served ninth and tenth graders primarily. A variety of activities offered such as tennis, flag football, ping- pong, track, and basketball satisfied individual student prefer- ences. Freshmen also took a required semester of Community and Family Health. The necessity of learning fitness and safety proved to be a valuable need. By offering a wide range of courses, the school began the road work for a balanced education. Jenkins As the football slips through Coach Kay Monroe's fingers.

EddU Jenkins Work In an age of escalating cost, many students decided on vocational courses which would help prepare them for careers; the hands-on experience and practical application from vocational courses gave students a firsthand exposure to the world of work. Auto mechanics, building con- struction, agriculture, and electric- ity were all available if the student had a desire to learn. These classes offered students simulated job situations and, to- ward the latter part of the year. Study simulated on-the-job experiences. Projects such as constructing a portable building, overhauling an engine, learning crop production, and creating an electric circuit gave students more than just classroom work. Vocational courses, whether one, two, or three periods in length, helped students prepare for real jobs. For students wishing to enter the work world immedi- ately after graduation, vocational studies supplied them with the training needed to secure posi- tions in the community.

Courses included Typing I and II, Shorthand I and II, Accounting I and II, and Office Procedures. By having the opportunity to take Office Procedures, the curriculum introduced sophomores to the business world. This course gave sophomores the introductory material of business courses. This exposure helped them make a decision on whether to take further courses in the field of business. Juniors and seniors could con- tinue their studies by taking accounting, typing, and short- hand, first and second years. With typing and accounting in John«II Daw� Start highest demand, students pre- pared for many areas of work after graduation. Students took shorthand along with accounting and typing if they planned on taking business courses in college. With the arrival of new comput- ers, the business department let students try their luck at working a computer for office practice. These computers were primarily for the typing and accounting classes. The business and office educa- tion department has added to the curriculum each year. Patty Ridlehuber stated, “Having the opportunity to take such business courses helped me get ahead in college business courses.” Eddie Jenkw Double-checking her work, Sherrie Hair uses an adding machine to compute her totals. 32 Business and Office Education Learning to type computer pro- grams.

Grey Bailey Seconds Being able to speak a second language is fast becoming more important in everyday life. In business and in person- al foreign relationships, knowing a second language pro- vides a definite asset in today’s world. The foreign language department offered both French and Spanish on three levels of language development. First year formed the basics; second year emphasized the study of verbs and modifiers; while in third year of either lan- guage, students expanded their knowledge of the history, literature, and culture of the target country with the focus on effective oral communication. Both departments held language days where the ad- vanced students spoke their language for the entire school day. Students also took field trips such as seeing authentic South American dancers at Christ Church School and watching a French play at Hillcrest High School. Students profitted greatly from their foreign language study. For many, colleges required two years of foreign language study. French and Spanish proved to be useful in many aspects of everyday life.

The home ec de- partment offered three levels of class with each class having a specific degree of skills develop- ment. In the classroom, students in Consumer and Homemaking Edu- cation I mastered basic sewing and cooking skills such as stitch- ing hems and reading recipes. By taking Advanced Consumer and Homemaking Education, second year students progressed into more complicated skills such as inserting zippers and cuffs and decorating a house. Third year students completed more advanced tasks in Clothing Textiles and Foods Nutrition. They designed and made a com- plete outfit for themselves and also constructed dolls from mate- rials purchased by Mrs. Ann Wal- lace. the department head. For seniors, Family Living and Con- sumer Education offered a man- gement course dealing with family problems, organizing a marriage ceremony, and planning a bud- get. Outside the classroom, home economics classes visited the Christmas Home Show in Char- lotte, North Carolina. Classes raised funds by selling candy. Money purchased new appliances for the classes and projectors for the school. Field trips also includ- ed delivering fruit baskets and candies to patients at the Laur- ens Memorial Home. Home economics classes of- fered students a chance for per- sonal development and for plan- ning the future. Whether at school, on a field trip, or raising funds, home economics students encountered experiences which advanced maturity and created self-sufficient students.

This subject carried students from grade school through high school and often times into first year of college. Thirteen teachers formed the English department. These teach- ers handled basic, practical, aca- demic, and honors courses for each grade; they taught literature, grammar, and vocabulary lessons. While not having undergone any major structural changes, the English department utilized the ITV system more than previous years. Students also saw movies dealing with mythology and with specific historical time periods. Shown near the beginning of the year. The Elephant Man and Clash of the Titans proved to be very successful with both stu- dents and teachers. Student Don- na Thompson stated, “It helped me to see what people’s ideas were like in the past.’’ The English department worked to improve literature, grammar, and vocabulary. To advance effectiveness, new grammar and writing texts were selected.

Arts Artistic Expression The arts offered students from all kinds of backgrounds and in- terests an equal chance to develop a better sense of self- expression and appreciation of the arts. In each field—chorus, band, visual arts, drama, and speech, students learned the val- ue of expressing themselves through the art medium of their interest. All of the courses stressed the importance of the interaction of the arts and the unique qualities of each. In addition to the development of artistic talent, the performing arts, band, chorus, drama, and speech—offered an opportunity to perform before audiences. Many students found this aspect of the courses not only challenging but also rewarding. In the speech and drama courses the students gained a better use of the language while getting over their stage fright. Their exposure to the spoken arts covered all the types from the ear- liest written literature to the most modern. The members of the speech class worked on their ability to identify and describe objects. Chorus and band gave students the chance to develop their musical talents and present perfor- mances demonstrating their achievements. Both groups offered personal as well as group incen- tive. Selected members worked up individual and group performances for Solo and Ensemble Festival. For both the band and chorus, au- ditions for the All-State groups were offered. The chorus gave a group performance at Christmas which featured several solos and selections such as the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s Messiah. The band gave numerous perfor- mances throughout the year start- ing with the marching band perfor- mance at the football games. The visual arts courses present- ed students with a variety of forms of artistic expression. From sculpting to working with clay, all the various mediums offered the student a chance to develop his talent. With all the arts courses that were offered, students had a great opportunity to improve their skills and to polish their senses. These courses gave them the opportunity to refine their talents and in turn to refine the gold. Paying close attention to the time and beat set by Mrs. Harriette Brewington.

' All Work, All Play At the end of July while most students were still enjoying their summer vacation, members of the Raider Band and Colorguard began preparation for the upcoming football and contest season. Practicing from 8:30 to 11:30 in the mornings and 2:00 to 5:00 in the afternoons, members were drilled in routines ranging from basic fundamentals to difficult marching maneuvers which were incorporated into the contest show. The officer staff, headed by Drum Ma- jor Richard Robertson, Band Captain Wayne Owens, and Flag Captain Dianne Stewart instructed the forty upcoming freshmen in the fundamentals of marching and correct posture. With the addition of these freshmen, the Raider Band in- creased its size from the previous 85 to 105 strong. Band members spent the week of Au- gust 1-6 at Newberry College for band camp. Mr. Bob Cotter, arranger and com- poser of many marching band tunes, wrote the band’s contest show and spent the week teaching the band the routine. After learning the show, the band drilled three times a day to reach perfection. Directed by Mr. Andrew Hodges and assisted by Mrs. Paula Moss and Mr. Bruce Stevenson, the band captured many awards in contests and marching events throughout the year. They compet- ed in the Furman Music Bowl, the Boiling Springs Marching Band Contest, the South Carolina State 4-A Marching Band contest, and hosted and performed an exhibition in the Henry Laurens Invitational Marching Band Contest held in (continued on page 47) Furman Music Bowl 2nd in Class Boiling Springs Marching Band Contest Best Flag Line Award Best Drum Major Award Sth in Class South Carolina State AAAA Marching Band Contest Superior Rating Clinton Christmas Parade 1st Place—Band Division North South All-Star Football Game Feature Band Solo and Ensemble Festival 26 Superior Ratings Band Members in Western Region and All-State Bands South Carolina Concert Band Festival Superior Rating South Carolina Band Directors Association Outstanding Performance Award Ken Band Officers and Staff: Shawn Ptetrowski. officer staff, assistant librarian.

The performing band also marched in the Laurens, Clinton, and Whitten Center Christmas parades, bringing in the Christ- mas spirit. In January, selected band members at- tended the Solo and Ensemble Festival in Columbia where they played solos, duets, or trios for a rating. This gave individual players the opportunity to be critiqued by professional musicians. On January 27, members auditioned for the All-State, Clinic, and Western Region bands. Those who participated spent long hours in preparation for the auditions, where they competed against other high school musi- cians from across the state. Another branch of the band, the jazz band, was a option for tenth, eleventh, and twelfth graders. Giving concerts in the spring and summer months, the jazz ensemble performed pieces from such famous jazz composers as Dizzy Gillespie and Henry Mancini. The jazz class taught students the Be-Bop style and blues scales used in playing jazz solos. Mr. Andrew Hodges stated, “Being in the Raider Band requires a great deal of time and dedication. The band year lasts from July through the end of school in May. The learning of musical concepts and the esprit de corps that comes from many hours of practice and performance are highly rewarding to the students.” As a part of the curriculum, participating in the band was as much work as it was play.

The students ar- ranged in quintets and prepared their mu- sic for tryouts. After they performed for the judges, they received a new piece of music to sight-read. Out of these groups over thirty people were chosen to partici- pate in All-State Choruses. The Concert Choir participated in the chorus competitions at Spring Valley High School in Columbia. They sang several prepared selections and sight-read a selec- tion in hopes of a one rating from the judges. The students also competed in Solo and Ensemble. Mrs. Caroline McCauley stated, “We are excited about our choral department this year. We have exceptionally talented young men and young women who are energetic and willing to work hard. The number of students to make all-state cho- rus has increased this year over last year. This is indicative of the high standards set by our department and of the willingness of the students to attain those goals.” Besides learning choral skills, students learned self-discipline and qualities of leadership.

Urajii rT Tl CJc.j j- tty ™ i tAtu Speaking Out Jam Lyon Art provided students the opportunity to take classes that demonstrated and promoted their artistic talents. The school offered intermediate and advanced courses in art; intermediate classes started students with the basic fundamentals in drawing and painting and provided experience in free expression. The ad- vanced classes focused more instruction on techniques and included displaying work. Open House gave parents of participating students an opportunity to view art samples from these classes. Some advanced painting were hung in the local Pizza Hut for a contest. First prize went to Johnell Davis, a senior who drew his version of Conan the Barbarian. Tammy Babb stated, “Being able to express my feelings into drawings and paintings gave me a better knowledge of how the other art students felt as well as myself.” Students sought not only artistic but also verbal forms of self-expression. Approximately 70 students formed three speech classes. These classes helped stu- dents develop poise and self-assurance and also supplied an opportunity to speak in front of different groups to conquer stage fright. During the year students gave speech- es— informal and formal. Miss Jimmi-Ann Carnes, speech teacher, introduced stu- dents to improvisation. As a class project, students planned skits of The Johnny Car- son Show. Students played the roles of celebrities and were intereviewed as though they were on the actual show. By taking a speech class, students learned more about speaking. Miss Carnes stated, “People are always talking about getting back to basics, and that’s what speech is — basic. We developed communication skills and self-confidence as well as poise in the students.” Both in speech and art classes, students discovered self-expression. Students learned to convey their thoughts on can- vas and in speeches and recitations. Jam! Lyon 52 Art and Speech ■I During art class.

Under the leadership of Miss Jimmi-Ann Carnes, the students had an opportunity to develop their talents in the performing arts, set design, and other behind-the- scene activities connected with the theater. Students learned the importance of poise, correct enunciation, and communication. With these skills, they be- came more competent and self-confident in public and impromptu speaking. As a first yearly production, the drama department presented the play Up the Down Staircase involving over forty-five students. For Halloween, drama students applied make-up to local children at City Hall. In March, twenty students attended Winthrop College for the PDA Drama Festival where they competed with other high school students in dramatic produc- tions. In May incorporating Shakespeare, the Beatles, and blue jeans, drama stu- dents produced As You Like It in an environmental theatre production at the Octagon House. Through drama, students developed their talents and creative abilities.

Eddie .It-nkiru Eddie Jenkint 56 Organizations The Final Touch “To be, or not to be?”—a member of a club or organiza- tion, that is. With over twenty clubs and organizations to choose from, students sometimes had a hard time making deci- sion. Quite frequently a student had to make his choices careful- ly due to limited time. The list of clubs and organizations avail- able varied with students. Very few students, if any, had difficulty finding a club or orga- nization that met with their inter- ests. In addition to providing a very useful means for students with similar interests to associate. many clubs and organizations helped provide an invaluable op- portunity for hands-on experience and training. Clubs such as the Distributive Education Clubs of America, Future Farmers of America, Future Business Leaders of America, Science Club, and the publication staffs, the Fifty-Fiver staff and the Sword and Shield staff provided students with the first-person experience and knowl- edge that they might need later in making decisions about careers and job training. Service-oriented clubs, the National Honor Society, Student Council, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Key Johfurll Davit Club, all offered students the chance to serve the school and community. The two foreign lan- guage clubs, French Club and Spanish Club, gave students the opportunity to meet and mingle with other students taking the same foreign language. This gave the students a more extensive and practical application of their newly learned language. The Pep Club, the largest club in the school, gave students the chance to express and enhance their school spirit and to encourage the members of the various athletics. All clubs and organizations add- ed to the excellent curriculum and helped developed the total student. With the clubs and organizations including such a wide variety of in- terests and ability fields, they com- pleted the education scope of the school and added the final touch.

Elections were held and the newly elected officers began to fulfill the responsibilities of the position. Student Council was responsible for the direc- tion of the Homecoming ceremonies and the sponsoring of the junior-senior prom. These festivi- ties were financed by money raised from the powderpuff game and the selling of candy canes for students at Christmas. Also, at Christmas, as a community service, canned goods and clothing were collected from the students for people in need. Whether sponsoring school festivities or supporting student views on important issues, the Student Council showed an active interest in school affairs. The combined efforts of the Council members created extra advantages for the school.

With the yearly focus of “strengthen from with- in”, Key Club members compiled and presented a program to the Kiwanis Club on November 9 concerning programs offered at the school. As a requirement for continuing membership, members offered twelve hours of service to community, church, or school. Before each home sports event, members also gave time popping corn to sell; the profits raised from popcorn sales maintained club operations and supported club projects. The club organized a valentine’s banquet in February and a blood drive in March. Key Club members were not individually recognized, but their work was widely known. Advisor Sam Oakes stated, “The Key Club has worked hard to be one of the more active organizations at the school. This year’s group has come a long way in achieving that goal.” Ken Eargie Key Club: Front Row: Lee Dixon. Valerie Wood. Angela Roger� , and Ann McCanty. board of director .

Meeting stiff requirements, prospective members had to qualify on academic excellence, good character, leadership, service, and citizen- ship. After faculty approval, Junior Honor Society members transferred into the organization from the eighth grade. Advisors Mrs. Anna Mims and Mr. Jim Brown aided members in their adjustment to high school activities. For the first time in several years, students once again assumed the responsibility of raising and lowering the flags in the front of the school building. The NJHS prepared members to enter the Senior Honor Society as active participants. Under the supervision of Mrs. Anne Sheppard, the National Honor Society members became guides for freshmen during Orientation and for parents during Open House. Club members vol- unteered to provide nursery care for children during choral concerts. The pencil machine located in commons again assisted students in their preparation for class. After a year of working to establish these organizations, both honor societies emerged ac- tive. Through club service, students and commu- nity members discovered that honor society members were not just bookworms. Discussing information from the last meeting.

French stu- dents participated in French Declamation held at Clemson University. Third year French students took advantage of a field trip to see Cyrano de Bergerac at Hillcrest High School in February. At Christmas, the French Club had a party at Gus Youmans’ home where each member brought a French dish that he prepared. As an annual event the foreign language department sponsored Foreign Language Week. Students displayed French and Spanish projects in the school. On a selected day during this week, students spoke only Spanish or French. The Spanish Club visited Christ Church School in Greenville to see authentic Spanish dancers and hear native Spanish singers. Spanish Club members purchased T-shirts with Spanish sayings. By participating in a language club, students had a better insight to their foreign country. French Club advisor Mrs. Susan Byars stated, “Foreign language clubs offer students an outlet from the routine of class and a chance to experience and, I hope, to enjoy cultural differ- ences.” Ken fc«irgU?

Daily, drivers endured weather, bad road conditions, and the constant noise of 60 students. As the day’s routine, the 61 regular drivers and 56 substitute drivers carried 3,138 students over 4,020 miles to 10 local schools. Bus drivers were paid $3.35 an hour. Every 20 days drivers completed a time sheet to submit to Mr. Holmes’ office for evaluation. To some this job sounded like easy money, but the require- ments kept many from cashing in. Applicants needed good school and driving records in addition to being 16 years of age. Trainees attended three days of class, took a written examination, and spent a day behind the wheel. Drivers learned procedures and skills through the bus driver training program. After the program, these students had the experience neces- sary to safely transport students to school.

No, this was the setting for the pep rallies, led by the cheerleaders, to inspire school teams to victory. At the beginning of the year, football cheerleaders sold pep club cards during home- room. Students who purchased membership were dismissed for thirty minutes during the mornings of pep rallies. Once inside the gym, the band began playing songs to rouse the crowd. The cheerleaders then came onto the floor and started performing their different cheers, formations, jumps, and routines to the band’s music. Often the cheerleaders sponsored pep rally events which included students. Class presidents and officers participated in contests including wa- ter gun fights and fastest-to-dress competitions to determine which class was best for that particular pep rally. The pep rallies came to a close with the tradi- tional Alma Mater. The students who had become one during the pep rally drifted off to separate classes.

Utilizing Mycro-Tek V.D.T. at the Laurens County Advertiser, the staff members com- posed, revised, and edited their own articles in the computer terminals. The staff conducted stages of paper production, design, and layout to include the actual fitting which was left to the publisher. The fourteen members of the Sword and Shield staff under the guidance of Mrs. Mary Ann McNeill and Mr. Jim Brown worked hours at the school and at the Advertiser to meet deadlines for each issue of the newspaper; these nine issues were distributed at the end of every month to subscribers or sold for 25c a single issue. The newspaper featured sports, polls, peekin’, and activities of interest to the stu- dents. Four times out of the year students viewed Raidernews in their English classes. These videotaped productions contained polls, news reports, commer- cials, and even a little gossip about students around school. Mrs. Elaine Barrett and one member chosen from the Sword and Shield staff do the filming, tap- ing, editing, and acting that the students view. Receiving the newspaper and viewing Raidernews informed the students of campus activities. In addi- tion, Mrs. McNeill added, “Having an additional advisor and the use of computers has given a chal- lenging approach to publishing the Sword and Shield this year. ______________ While designing a layout for the Sword and Shield.

Yearbook students worked throughout the year. In the spring of 1982, staff members began their advertising and solicitations. Once again during the first two weeks of school, they sold ads. In late September they moved to selling annuals in home- room to students. Staffers sorted pictures, took senior statistics, and organized voting for senior su- perlatives. In class itself, staffers wrote captions and copy, drew layouts, placed graphics on artboard, and typed and fitted copy. Students constantly had to write and revise written materi- al. Photographers were busy taking pictures both during the school day and after school. They had to catch people in class, in commons, and at club meetings. In addition to this, photographers had special assignments such as sports events, ad pic- tures, and holiday and vacation activities. Editor in chief, Jami Lyon, helped organize the class. Each member was given a specific responsi- bility but each contributed in all areas of the book. “It’s something that years from now I’ll be able to look at and say, ‘I helped make that,’ ” stated staffer Gus Youmans.

To Work Seeking to learn more about the outside world, students chose the Future Teachers Organization and the Future Business Leaders of America. To promote careers, the FTO gave information and advice about teaching. Consisting of juniors and seniors, the FTO held meetings every month un- der the direction of Mrs. Sarah Little. In the spring, students had a special day to serve as practice teachers at the elementary schools. The FTO showed their appreciation to teachers during American Education Week in November by pre- paring refreshments. Heading in a new direction, the Future Secre- taries Association changed to the FBLA to take in both boys and girls. With Mrs. Jane Crotts as advisor, students sold Tom Watt products and earned over three thousand dollars; this money went toward senior glasses to be presented at graduation. The chapter observed National FBLA Week during February 13-19 with a catered banquet for all members. Mrs. Crotts stated, “The FBLA helps students to develop competent, aggressive business leadership and facilitates the transition from school to work.” Ken Eargle FBLA: Front Row: Tyrns Pryor, president.

This money went toward a trip to Char- lotte, North Carolina, for the Christmas Home Show and to the Eastland Mall for shopping and ice skating. Club members made fruit baskets for the elderly at Laurens Memorial Home. Meetings for FHA members were held during classes. Not only FHA members but also community members benefited from club activities. This club helped young ladies become responsible homemakers and future parents.

Louis Marino .3 Johnell Davis Get a Job For many years, students customarily went directly from high school to a job. Although this practice is no longer prevalent, some students still like the idea of finishing school and going to a job. Distributive Education Clubs of America and Vocational Industrial Clubs of America provided two vocational programs that prepared students to go directly to the work world. DECA, directed by advisors Mrs. Susan Randall and Mr. Louis Marino, prepared stu- dents for entry level marketing. Many activities centered around demonstrating job skills. DECA focused on competitive events; club members competed in areas of general merchandising, finance credit, advertizing, and many other fields in order to strengthen their knowledge of the subject. VICA, directed by Mr. Woodrow Crenshaw, consisted primarily of students wanting to enter fields of electricity and wiring. Students reinforced their studies by applying them; they often worked on problems and tried to fix the malfunction. These situations supplied the stu- dents hands on experience. Both clubs gave students a chance to prac- tice job skills and, in turn, helped prepare them for later life. Mrs. Randall stated, “These clubs help students to realize their goals in the outside world.” 78 DECA and VICA Using the drill press to make a hole in the wood.

Each period two stu- dents would report to the guidance department or the library. In the guidance department the students aid- ed the counselors by answering the telephone, transferring the call to the requested counselor, typing schedules for the students, and assisting students seeking help from a counselor or requesting information from a college. These students freed counselors to work with individual problems. Students also aided librarians by checking out books, straightening shelves, receiving overdue book fees, and aiding students in book selec- tion. “By working in the library 1 have learned alot that will assist me in the future,” said Son- ya Tucker. Year after year students work to help out the librarians and guidance counselors. Mrs. Freeman stated, “The students that help in the guidance department relieved me of the respon- sibility of answering the phone. This allowed me to do record work without so many interruptions.” Mike Simmons Library Workers: Tina Sellers, Karen Culbertson.

Including cheerleaders, managers, statistics keepers, and the athletes themselves, the club had a membership of over fifty. Club members worked from August to May. Students participating in spring sports, but not fall sports, joined the club at the beginning of the year; these members were allowed to par- ticipate in the club all year long. The FCA organized and sponsored many activities and functions throughout the year. General meetings were held regularly and often featured guest speakers from Presbyterian College. The club built and presented a float in the Christmas parades. Every Wednesday the members held devotions at 8:00 a.m. in the lecture theater. Concerning the year, club advisor Bobby O’Rear said, “The good attendance and posi- tive attitude of the club, along with the exceptionally good job from the officers, made for a very good year.” FCA: Front Row: Joey Lewis. president.

JoSrwlI DavM Land Mind The FFA, Future Farmers of America, helped students to develop in the many areas of farming. Farming, an agricultural science, involved much more than just putting seeds into the ground. Four classes composed the agricultural curriculum. Agriculture I studied plant and animal sciences concentrating on husbandry. Agriculture II studied production and funds in farming, while Ag- riculture III focused on the aspect of business management especially records and files. Agricul- ture IV completed the program with the practical knowledge of handling tractors and other farm ma- chinery. These 93 students under the direction of Mr. Thomas Huffman visited farms in the county and saw the operations of agricultural businesses. These visitations helped the students to see the application of agricultural principles. The FFA strove to develop farming abilities among individuals. Mr. Huffman stated, “One of our goals is to develop leaders among the stu- dents.” The way the classes were structured helped them to realize that goal. Edcht’ Jenkin Watching on. Scott Lynch.

Under the direction of Mr. Michael Mills and president Martin Lowry, the Science Club par- ticipated in several competitions and field trips. During the fall, the club went to Clemson University for Science Day where they visited a planetarium and viewed various types of laboratory equipment. They also were at Clemson for Open House. Some club members attended Lander College for Science Olympiad in which they placed seventh in competition. In February, a guest speaker, Ms. Kim Harden from the Green- wood Genetic Center presented a program to Science Club members in the Lecture Theatre educating them on recent genetic research. Members returned to Clemson in the spring for the Biology Merit Exam. Whether field trips or lectures, the Science Club gave members an opportunity to expand their in- terest in scientific fields. At the same time they were able to enjoy themselves. Science Club 87 At the boys' tennis team tryouts, held in late October, Doug Thomas returns a serve first as Scott Jarrard, Tony Coats.

Kirk Dotson swings for the ball Skill and Strength People everywhere — whether here in the United States or halfway around the world — en- gage in athletics. Millions of high school students participate in ath- letics as a means of recreation and physical fitness. Recently Americans have focused more and more on staying in shape. High school sports offered stu- dents the chance to achieve fitness and supplied enter- tainment. Individuals had the chance to work as a team and to develop friendships with fellow athletes. Even though athletes sacrificed much free time to long hours of practice, brief moments of glory and personal accomplishments rewarded each individual and justi- fied the sacrifices. The winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, the goal from center court at the final second, or the long-awaited victory over a rival team—all boosted spirit. The spirit of competition filled team members and provided the necessary incentive to strive for achievement. Each participant learned to communicate with others, to win and lose with dignity, and to work toward a goal. These lessons were carried back into the classrooms; teamwork, good sportsmanship, and inner motivation influenced athletes’ actions and deci- sions. In sharpening their athletic skills, the athletes began with potential and worked toward polishing their skills. The athletic process refined athletes; these students carried their newly developed abilities back into the classroom.

Slow development was due to the fact that the team consisted of seven sophomores, five of whom were playing regularly. The young team, however, completed a season which compared favor- ably to other teams in the league. The team began organized practice the second week of January under the direction of Coach Ed Prescott and Junior Varsity baseball coach, Steve Boyd. When the weather permitted, the team worked on the basic fundamentals of baseball such as ground balls, fly balls, hitting, and pitching. After practicing the mechanics, the players worked on offen- sive and defensive situations providing them with a good win- ter workout. A competitive and aggressive attitude from each player proved to be a major strong area which held the team through defeat. In reference to the skills and abilities of the team, team speed also proved to be a major strong area. The team committed fewer errors than any other Raider baseball team. Pitching started out as the biggest liability and ended up one of the stronger points. Brian Burns, Mike Mat- thews, Kirk Dotson, and Ricky Foggie developed into an ade- quate pitching staff. Coach Ed Prescott commented, “They are an enjoyable group to work with. They work hard; they enjoy what they’re doing; and they want to be successful.” Varsity Baseball 91 Junior Varsity baseball player Ed die Greene fires a pitch to the batter.

The junior varsity baseball team practiced five days a week, two and a half hours a day. In preparation for its first game, practice consisted of hitting, pitch- ing, running, and fielding. The junior varsity began its season with a slow start against Clinton. Then after a game-winning streak over Wade Hampton, Clinton, Newberry, and Chapin, the Raiders lost to Newberry, defeated Clinton, and swept a two-game series against Eastside. Following another loss to Chapin, the season ended with a win over Newberry completing a 9-3 record. Reflecting on the season, head coach Steve Boyd commented, “Our team had great depth, and each player played in every game. Our pitching started out slow but improved throughout the season. Inexperience was a minor set back, but this too im- proved through practice and game situation.” Mike Simmon 1982 Junior Varsity Baseball Team: Front Row: Scott Rumfell, Jarvis Rice, and Mike Malone Second Row: Steve Ramey.

After his first year of coaching the boys’ team, Coach Barry Cox said, “I feel that it has been a learning experience for me as well as for the team.” He and Coach Mark Freeze worked well to- gether as the two coaches. Team member Carl Shands stated. ‘‘I feel that the high- light of the season for me was the Furman Relay. It was a great opportunity to see the competition from the other schools and a chance to assess our chances for success.” The entire team took advantage of this opportunity. After setting a goal at the beginning of the year to win the Region Championship, the boys came in second place. The boys’ team set a new long jump team total this year. Anthony Caldwell jumped 20’ 7”; Randy Mahon jumped 20’ 5%”; and Vincent Jones jumped 19’ V . This added to a new team record of 61 feet. The boys’ team also tied a previous team high jump record of 17’ 6”. The girls’ track team broke many records as well. Lynne Mathis broke the 200 meter dash record with a run of 23.9 seconds, as well as a long jump of 18’ 9 2”. Two hurdle records were broken by Adri- enne Lowe—the 110 hurdles with a time of 15.31 seconds and the 330 intermediate hurdles with a time of 47.31 seconds. The school triple jump record was broken by Teresa Boyd with a jump of 34’ 1”. Crystal Irby broke both the school shot put record and school discus record with throws of 34’ 1” and 102’ 7V6”, respectively. Breaking the school record for the 100 meter dash, Amelia Boyd completed the dash in 12.8 seconds. On the girls’ track team only six members were return- ees. Coach Mary Sherlock said, “I feel the team members cooperated very well and put forth a great amount of effort when they needed to.” Both teams — boys’ and girls’ — achieved their goals and set new ones for next year’s teams. They played an important part in the school’s team spirit. Coach Mary Sher- lock’s statement sums up both seasons well, “Their determination and willingness to work increased as the sea- son progressed, and they have ended with a record of which they should be proud.” Mik Simmon� While sprinting for the triple jump.

Richard Robert von Up on Top The 1982 Golf team, coached by Bobby O’Rear, finished its season with an overall record of 14 wins and 3 losses. Lacking consistency from the three, four, and five players due to inexperience caused problems for the Raiders. Nevertheless, the golfers bettered themselves by hard work and practice. O’Rear stated, “The team has improved greatly through the last three years.’’ Concentration and practice helped the team reach its goal to participate in the championship play-offs. To insure a winning season, members of the golf team started their practices in early March and continued throughout the sea- son which ended in early May. Players took advantage of their free time and practiced at Lakeside Country Club, Rolling S, and the driving range on Stage Coach Road. From strokes to putts, the golfers worked to win. Their season’s record indicated the amount of time and effort the golfers put into their season. The team showed effort to reach one goal—to rise to the top.

The 1982 boys’ tennis team ended with an 8-2 mark while the girls ended their season with a 1-10 record. Practicing in the afternoons, the boys’ team worked on fundamentals—court coverage, serves, and returns. Matches were held during the week. Commenting on the season, Coach Ray Croxton stated, “The team has potential and will grow stronger in future seasons through experience.” For the girls, practice was held every afternoon in the spring; summer also provided additional time to work on problem areas. Coach Catherine Emanuel stated, “We were still in the process of building, and I’m sorry we didn’t have a chance to gain even more wins.” Through defeat and victory, the teams continued to work hard to improve throughout their seasons. Through close matches, the tennis teams developed their skills and progressed toward more victories. Finishing their matches early.

Under new head coach and athletic di- rector Buddy Jennings, the Raider football team started its weight lifting program in early summer and continued each day until the season arrived. Getting in shape, quarterbacks threw passes to develop accu- racy; kickers punted to practice obtaining better field position; defensive linemen blocked to build strength for power. Each player began developing his skills to serve the team. Summer practices started on August 2nd with 2 to 3 hour daily practices. These practices helped build individual endurance and skill while providing experience to work together as a team. Boosted by 24 seniors, the team set high goals for its season. According to Coach Buddy Jennings the team “set its sight on the Region Championship.” Starting off the season, the football team coasted to a 48 to 0 win over Newberry. This win boosted team confidence. A loss to Easley by a close score of 6 to 0 in the second game of the season again tested team spirit. The remainder of the season es- (continued on page 102) Coortcjy of Laurens County Advertiser Following through on a new play. Rickey Foggie hesitates before passing the ball to a teammate.

Varsity Football 101 Success Again (Continued from page 101) calated enthusiasm; the team gave up only 34 points to all 11 ball clubs during the regular season. A recorded 331 points dur- ing these same 11 games demonstrated team scoring ability. Two records broken included the most games won and most points scored in a regular season. Breaking a 20 year losing tra- dition, the Raiders ended a Red Devil winning streak by defeat- ing Clinton 13 to 7. At the end of the season, James Cunningham and Harley Griffin played in the Shrine Bowl in Charlotte, North Carolina. James, a running back, made many touchdowns needed to gain a win. Harley, an offensive lineman, started each game by clear- ing a pathway for his teammate. Other outstanding players in- cluded Greg Bailes, Randy Shaw, Anthony Downs, Lonnie Pul- ley, and Brad Williams. Making themselves a reputation throughout the state, the Raider football team proved its competitiveness not only to Laurens County residents but also to members of other school districts. By emerging victorious over previously undefeated Hill- crest, Raiders accomplished a 9-2 record for the ’82 season. Through this record, the varsity football team attained its goal — the regional championship.

Courtesy ol Laurens County Advertiser Young Stars The junior varsity football team ended a winning season with an eight and two mark. The team’s coach, Mr. Bobby LeRoy, credits this successful season to ‘‘a hard working defense.” Junior varsity players officially began practice with the first day of school. Coach Carl Drakeford assumed coaching duties for the linemen while Coach LeRoy focused on the backfield. Players reported to practice for two hours after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays and played their games on Thursday evenings. The injury-plagued team took each game down to the wire; sensational plays like Steve Ramey’s 75-yard touchdown run after a fake pass in a game against Pickens packed the season with action and excitement. The team’s most thrilling victory came in its final game capping off the season with a win; with less than two minutes on the clock, Laurens’ receiving team re- covered an onside kick and won the game with a field goal to defeat Hillcrest. In closing. Coach LeRoy stated, “I worked with a fine group of kids, and I think they’ll help the varsity a good bit next year.” To adjust Mike Hughes' shoulder pad. junior varsity manager Jeff Pul ley tightens a strap.

Falling back into a slump, the Raiders were defeated by Emerald, Easley, and Northside. Anxious for a win, the team’s final game equaled victory over Hillcrest to finish the season with three wins and six losses. With many hours of playing and practicing, the ninth grade team learned to work as a unit. Coach O’Rear commented, “Po- tentially some of these athletes can help our program in the coming years; they showed promise at the end of the season.” Fighting the heat of an afternoon practice, ninth grade football linemen drill on blocking and tackling skills.

As the biggest and loudest support, cheerleaders aided their football teams by making and exhibiting signs, conducting pep rallies, preparing drop-ins for the teams, and helping the students cheer their teams on to victory. In preparation for the upcoming year of cheering, the girls practiced repeatedly during the summer. When school started, they practiced three days a week in order to plan pep rallies and conduct a routine for the games. After practice at the end of the week, the girls took turns making the run-through banners. Miss Mary Sherlock, the sponsor for both the varsity and ju- nior varsity squads, stated, “The girls worked very hard this year. I was pleased with their performance.” At the end of the season, football cheerleaders were invited to the football banquet as honored guests. Greg Bailey Cheerleaders Patty Lanford.

Practices focused on the essentials of volleyball—floor coverage, defense, and offense. On Mondays and Wednesdays matches were held. The Raiders defeated Pickens who have a high reputation of an outstanding volleyball program, as an important victory. Reflecting on the season. Coach Monroe stated, “This was a good group to work with and an enjoyable season despite the record; we just lacked the chemistry.” Despite the lack of chemistry, the Raiders acknowl- edged their weaknesses, worked hard to improve them, and enjoyed the experience with their teammates.

Sylvester Bolden attempts to score two points against Newberry. Slam Dunk The Boys’ Varsity Basketball team spent many hours in prac- tice before and throughout the season. Practice advanced the strengths of the team while diminishing the weaknesses. Among the team’s strengths emerged agility, the ability to press well, and good team work. Due to the team’s main weak- ness of free throw shooting, the boys spent much practice time on the free throw along with passing drills, defensive press, and rebounding drills. The team, composed of sixteen members included 8 seniors, 7 juniors, and 1 freshman, achieved a season record of 17 wins and 3 losses. Sylvester Bolden, a senior starter, led the region in both scoring and rebounding and placed seventh in the state in scoring. The combination of team work and individual endeavor boosted the team to its outstanding season. Losing only to three teams, Clinton, Wade Hampton, and Eastside, the team consistently led the conference. According to Coach Bobby O’Rear, “The progress and success of this team has been extremely satisfying to me this year. It really pleased me to watch these young men excel because they are so deserv- ing of the success they have achieved.” Above the other players. James Cunningham penetrates the defense to score against the Wade Hampton Gen- erals.

By the end of Feb- ruary, the girls had emerged with a record of 23-1—the best girls’ varsity record since 1976. The team was also voted the WSPA-TV Greenville Basketball Club Team of the Week dur- ing this outstanding season. Starting in late October, the girls practiced every afternoon for two hours working defensively on the zone and offensively on the open man. Coach Monroe credits their successful sea- son to teamwork. Height aided in good rebounding, and a quick front defense enabled steals. Commenting on the decid- ing factor in their plan, Coach Monroe stated, “Thank good- ness we had girls who could play good defense when they weren’t shooting well.” The starting five, including four seniors, set the pace for the games with effective scoring and defensive plays. Coach Monroe stated, “The upcoming talent should prove to be a valuable asset to the team.” Laden with talent, the Girls Varsity Basketball team was awarded a winning season along with a region championship.

Up the Ranks Junior varsity basketball gave sophomores a good chance to develop their potential and talents before moving up the ranks to varsity. The season of practice as a junior varsity member helped individuals assess and develop personal skills. The team experienced rough times at the beginning of the season. “Lack of teamwork was one of the main problems in the season,” stated Clint Seymour. The team concentrated on weaknesses and improved toward the end of the season. Team members practiced after school at Sanders Elementary School and, for several weeks, practiced on Saturday mornings. This rigid schedule helped them prepare for upcoming games. Under the direction of Coach Robert LeRoy, the players ac- complished a 4 wins and 12 losses season. Starter Steve Ramey stated, “Being part of a team taught me much about my teammates and others.” In the game against Newberry, ju nior varsity team member Steve Ramey prepares to take a foul shot from the free-throw line.

Long practices on Tuesdays and Fridays at Sanders Elementary School and the high school along with teamwork created their success. Practicing every afternoon from 3 to 5 and playing games twice a week helped the girls’ games. Although players’ foul shots presented problems, good shooting and fast play compen- sated. High shooters Shea Russell, Denise Smith, Karen Henry, and Cassandra Penderman aided the team in realizing their goal; the season ended with only one loss. Through experience, these girls prepared for the varsity team. At the end of the season, undefeated Greenwood lost to Laurens for the first time with a margin of twelve points; in a second game against Greenwood, Laurens dominated Greenwood and won by a margin of twenty points. Coach Croxton stated, “Their major asset was their ability to press opponents.

Warren Choice and Brian Redding practice passing drills for bet- ter endurance. With an overall record of 6-6, the fourteen-member ninth grade basketball team practiced everyday except Mondays and Wednesdays either in the gym or in the Sanders Elementary gym. For two hours, Coach Mark Freeze prepared the players for the games ahead. In order to provide experience for the freshmen team. Coach Freeze substituted line-ups in the first games of the season. Off to a slow start by losing their first two games in close rivals, the ninth graders then conquered J. L. Mann in an overtime victory which increased team strength. After a loss at Travelers Rest, the Raiders came back in a win over Emerald. After two losses, the team proved victorious once again as they downed Northside, Dorman, J. L. Mann, and Travelers Rest. Struggling with Wade Hampton, the Raiders were defeated by a close score to end the season. Taking advantage of the opportunities to gain experience, to learn to work as a team, and to develop individual and team talents, the freshmen ended a winning season. Commenting on the season. Coach Mark Freeze said, “They were a good hustling group that worked hard.” Lauren� Ninth Grade Basketball 6—6 Opponent 29 Northside 30 35 Dorman 37 50 J.

The promotion of spirit played a vital role in the athletic program. With two tryouts held, one last spring and another in the ear- ly fall, some girls made a second attempt for the squad. The qualifying girls made up two squads, the junior varsity and varsity cheerleaders. Both squads practiced through the summer and attended an ICF cheerleader camp for one week at Presby- terian College bringing home several ribbons and awards. With the beginning of basketball season, cheerleaders booked their weekly schedule with games two days a week and practice three days a week until 5:00. As a fund-raising project, cheerleaders sold jackets as a con- tinuation from last year’s sale. Also, the cheerleaders sold carnations before Valentine’s Day. Students purchased long-stem, colorful flowers which they sent to close friends during home- room with an affectionate note attached. Whether in long practices, at away games, or during pep rallies, cheerleaders supported the teams. With spirited cheerleaders and a co-operative crowd, teams had no problem getting fired up.

Setting off the season the team wrestled and won its first match against Hill- crest. One of the obstacles for the team was the loss of their head coach Sam Betz, who accepted a job at East Tennessee State University. When this occurred, Coach Bruce Ollis and Steve Boyd took over as coaches for the team. The change did not cause major problems; players did however, have to adjust to new coaching techniques. The team practiced each day after school for no more than one and a half hours. During the season, the team was boosted by undefeated players, Joey Lewis and Chris Thomp- son. As captain, Joey with a record of 12-1 helped his team to victories and made the state play-offs. The wrestling team finished the season with much experience. Coach Bruce Ollis stated, “I was particularly proud of the way our wrestlers responded to adversity. Going without a win for such a long period of time tends to create a less than healthy working atmosphere; but these young men continued to work hard throughout the season.” Johnell Davis Watching the prompter, wrestling team members do calisthenics to warm up before a match.

Eddie Jenkm 126 People Raider Spirit Each year the doors are opened to a new class of stu- dents, each class having its dis- tinct characteristics. Yet all four classes, when put together, formed a unit that was strongly knit of Raider spirit. The strength of the student body depended on the spirit of the individual student. All of the students who attended school helped to form the charac- ter of the school. As the students took interest in the various subjects and activities, the scope of the curriculum grew to accommodate their growth. The students strove to develop all aspects of themselves; physically, mentally, morally, and emotionally. In doing this, the students developed men- tality and character, and strove to make themselves better—strove to refine the gold. Eddie Jenkins People 127 A Little Glitter Ending eleven years students finally arrived at their senior year with a breath of relief. Along with the last year in school came the special feeling of being a senior. Once the novelty wore off, seniors realized the significance of their last year and applied themselves to the tasks ahead. During the year many seniors made plans for post graduation. These plans in- cluded technical schools, the armed ser- vices, colleges, and work. The guidance department was filled with groups of the 334 members of the senior class who came to obtain information about employment, college, scholarships, and fi- nancial aid. After their plans were completed and many decisions for the future had been made, the members of the class of 1983 looked forward, some with regret, some with satisfaction, but most with mixed emotions, to the day their high school careers would end—graduation day. As the end of school grew nearer, the seniors looked back upon the past year and real- ized that their senior year added a little glitter to their lives.

This class also taught students about programming and other computer func- tions. To qualify for the class, three years of math and a “B” average in the last year of math were necessary. With three students per terminal, class members worked on learning different programs and typing their own pro- grams. During spare time, students played computer games such as Wild- catting, a game about oil fields, and Rakka-tu, a game much like Mazes and Monsters. Computer experience helped stu- dents who are thinking of entering computer programming and other com- puter-related fields. Angela Rogers stat- ed, “It has given me a broader view of the computer world.” This semester class taught by Mr. Russell Burns and Mrs. Sarah L.

Seniors entered a world with new responsibilities including deci- sions concerning colleges and technical schools. Filling out applications, securing college funds, and meeting acceptance requirements became immediate goals to achieve. Although career goals var- ied with the student, many watched their grades during school and took college preparatory courses. Grants, loans, and scholarships were considreed as sources of income toward further education. Students with an interest in a college or university took the SAT as an admission requirement. As graduation approached, seniors realized the nearness of college days. Some students were seen frantically making last-minute plans while others were seen resting and enjoying their fi- nal few months of free time before college life began.

Honored as players representing South Carolina, Harley Griffin and James Cunningham made up part of the thirty-five young men selected for the team out of the three hundred considered. The selec- tion was based on their ability to fulfill the position and their high school coaches’ opinions of their character. During the week, they took time to visit the Shriners’ Hospital. Harley stat- ed, “I think everyone who has been blessed should be thankful for what they have and think of those who are less fortunate.” Another valuable experience was the opportunity to meet different players from all over the state. ‘‘There was much competition; it helped us know how good we were next to the top players in the state,” said James.

In order to obtain a job, students applied for available positions and set up ap- pointments for interviews. On the day of the interview, stu- dents dressed neatly, calmed their nerves, and headed for their destina- tions. To mentally prepare for the job, serious students had already considered transportation to and from work and the number of work hours their sched- ules would allow. Once hired for a position, students had to maintain good work habits. Regular attendance and punctuality be- came important. Coordinating free time, school time, and work time created a task for many.

Speak Easy Sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Voice of Democracy contest attracted participation from seniors in high school. This contest had students write a paper on the different ways the youth of America strengthen the country. Papers were graded on originality and patriotism. All entries had to be from one to eight pages in length. Recognized for having outstanding papers, Tony Owens, Shenese Merrill, and Scott Jarrard were awarded savings bonds for their work. Winner Tony Owens commented, “I was shocked when I opened the envelope and it said I had won.” Government Economics teachers encouraged students to write a paper. When asked, Shenese Merrill said, ‘‘The contest was very beneficial. It created a competitiveness among my classmates.” M.k« Simmon 142 Seniors Karen Denise Hughes: FBLA n. Officer 12.

In a society conscious of weight and physical shape, being overweight caused many prob- lems and much embarrassment. Even the simple task of dressing became nearly impossible with buckles, zippers, and belts at bulging waistlines. When the fat became unbearable, students retaliated with diets. Fasting and crash dieting usually resulted in terrible attitudes and constant fatigue. Counting calories and exercising soon became the sensible way to a slim fig- ure. With the help of Weight Watchers and Nutri-Systems, calorie counting be- came less complicated with pre-planned Consulting a book by Dr. Jean Mayer. Laurie Franklin decides which diet plan best suits her needs. meals and dietary food. For a large majority of students, eat- ing habits did not create a problem; lack of proper exercise, instead, pre- sented students with the most difficult task. Health clubs and spas offered a means of exercise and entertainment. Bored with dieting and fatigued from exercise, many students soon returned to their old habits—eating junk food and lounging on a sofa. Students— whether determined to be thin or just cutting down for a special occasion — found dieting and exercise a difficult course to maintain.

Spon- sored by the American Legion, Del Barksdale, Stanley Beeks, James Cunningham, Van Patterson, Matthew Walter, and Charlie Rettberg stayed from June 6-12 learning more about municipal and state government. Since they were at a military academy, they were treated much like the Citadel cadets; they bunked in bar- racks; they were inspected for cleanliness in the barracks; and at times they were reprimanded by the counselors. Besides political procedures, they all had time for competition between the division of cities in activities such as volleyball, basketball, swimming, tug-of-war, and spirit display. During their stay, many of the state’s top political leaders visited them as guest speakers; Governor Dick Riley and Senator Strom Thurmond gave speeches to the boys. The camp cen- tered mainly around governmental pro- cesses. The students held political rallies in which they ran for offices ranging from governors to circuit court judges. When elected, they were re- quired to draft a constitution, to vote on bills and resolutions, and to organize committees. Boys’ State gave the participants an overall view of the government and its processes. It gave all the boys participating a chance to grow and learn.

Sponsored by the South Carolina Athletic Coaches Asso- ciation, the game demonstrated local talent to college scouts. Football players from high schools all over the state who had been recognized for their athletic excellence were invited to play at this game. Two teams were formed by dividing the state into two regions, the North and the South. The players on both teams were excused from school for the week pre- ceding the game and stayed on the campus of their respective sponsoring college: North — Wofford College; South —Presbyterian College. The five days were spent training for the game but also offered him the opportunity to take a look at Wofford College, and to meet a number of fellow teammates who shared his interest in football and his athletic proficiency. At the completion of the five days of training, the game was played despite rainy weather, with the North team ending up the winners with a score of 10 to 7. After returning from the week of training and the game. Rocky re- flected on the week, “It’s something I’ll always remember and be proud of. ’ In class after a week away.

Along with a late night snack of cookies, potato chips, or a soft drink, homework filled the evening hours of many students. Taking periodic telephone breaks, students tried to escape daydreams. As their eyelids grew heavier and the nights got longer, studies ended whether fully or partially completed. In order to capture some rest, students tucked themselves into bed to prepare for the upcoming routine of the next day. To insure a good grade on an upcoming test.

Scholarships were given to students for athletic, musical, and academic abilities. Many factors went into the de- cision to give a student a scholarship; grades. SAT scores, and academic Using information from the guidance of- fice.

The student then usually went for an interview at his college and many times even spent a weekend. After completing final decisions on a specific school, students sent in a reser- vation fee and let scholarship funds pay for major expenses. No easy task to get, scholarships enabled students to enjoy another four years of school. Eddie Jenkins Teresa Rae Rook: fha 9.

Ernest Shaw Art Designs Last year marked the second annual Pizza Hut Art Contest. Students from Mrs. Barbara Brinson’s Drawing and Painting II class participated in the contest by making personalized shields from round cardboards, gesso, paints, and a lot of imagination. These projects took several days of work which produced many fine examples of artistic work from the class. The shields were then placed at the Pizza Hut for public exhibition and voting. At the end of the summer, the vo- ting was completed. Johnell Davis’ shield of a barbarian took first place; Connie Davis painted a horse’s head which won second place; a shield of a parrott created by Cindy Lee placed third. Before submitting his shield for judging, Johnell Davis shades the skin color for the Bar- barian. Mike Simmons 156 Seniors Randy Mack Shaw: football 9.10.

The curricula of these schools were designed to enhance and strengthen the scholar’s entire spectrum of know- ledge, whether attending the schools for science, music, English, or drama. Five weeks of dormitory life, classes from 8:00 in the morning to 6:00 at night, and college cafeteria meals gave the students a sample of college life. At the end of the five week period, the scholars had graduation where they received their diplomas. Governor's School for the Arts: Marty Babb Eddie Jenkins Rebecca Dianne Smith: fha 9.

These men installed four doors and six insulated walls reinforced with sheet rock and trimmed with molding. With the extra need for sound proof- ing and warmth, the construction also created a feeling of security and de- terred vandalism. In comment to the new library, Mrs. Elaine Barrett said, “With the outside noise blocked out, students tend to be quieter in the library.

Already knowing the routines, they quickly settled into daily activities. Juniors took advantage of their year knowing it would be their last year as underclassmen. Josten’s representatives came to let the eleventh-graders order high school rings. Also presentations were held to help juniors with early decisions for colleges. Juniors took the PS AT and the SAT in preparation for college years. Colleges started sending juniors applications and brochures to try to persuade them to at- tend. Particular clubs allowed only junior and senior members. The French Club, the Spanish Club, and the Key Club offered special activities for these two classes. Honors English classes also allowed juniors and seniors to go on trips to Columbia and Charlotte. Juniors shouldered more responsibility; having only one year ahead of them made a difference. Juniors participated more because they realized that it would only be a short while before they graduat- ed. Donna Burriss stated, “Pm on the home stretch with two years behind me and one to look forward to.” Junior Class Officers: Front Row: John Adams, president; Allen Shell, vice-president; and Valerie Wood, secretary Back Row: Martin Lowry and Ann Taylor, representatives.

Jeff Craddock received his opportunity when his father was trans- ferred to France for job training. Jeff lived in Clermont-Ferrand with his fam- ily for six months. When asked about his experience, Jeff could only reply. “I was glad to get back.” This was the second time he had lived in France. The first was for ten months; long enough for Jeff to realize how much he appreciated being an American. When asked what he learned by his French trip, Jeff said, ‘‘I gained a valuable experience—being able to see other countries and compare them to Returning from a fishing trip in Lyon, France. Ira Bedenbaugh displays his large catch. America.” Ira Bedenbaugh was involved in the Rotary Exchange Program. This program sends young people to Euro- pean countries for one month. Ira spent the month of July in Lyon, with Guillaume Ancel and his family. Guillaume then returned to the States to stay with Ira and his family for the month of August. When asked to summarize his experience, he stated, “I had a real nice time, and I hope I can go back.” Even though Jeff’s and Ira’s opinions of France varied, one thing is for sure; it was an experience that neither one will forget.

With the need to dress stylishly, whether prep or punk, students kept busy by roaming the stores. While some took up the tuxedo look, others simply slipped on their sweatshirts and baggies. With the release of Moon Unit Zappa’s hit “Val- ley Girl”, the valley craze dominated the school. Dressed in punk outfits such as bandanas and sweatshirts or mini-skirts in bright colors, students be- gan to talk a new language that only a Val could understand. As one fad changed to another, so did students, always wanting to dress, talk, and be in style. Different fads such as prep, valley girl, and punk, kept students on the go in style.

Giving concerts in the fall and spring and also at Christmas, the band and choruses entertained the public with their performances. These con- certs consisted of movie themes, popular, and classical music. Some students traveled to local or out-of-town auditoriums to hear vocal groups perform either new wave, country, rock, or pop music. On No- vember 13, students congregated at Littlejohn Coliseum to see Barry Manilow. In December, Eddie Money and 38 Special performed together in Greenville. Expense created no obstacle when students wanted to attend concerts. Concerts continued to be a major source of entertainment. Whether participating or watching, students knew the beat would go on. 172 Juniors William Kilgore Tommy Kimsey Myra King Angela Kirk David Kitzmiller Lisa Knight Anjeanette Latimore Kris Latimore Michelle Latimore Mike Latimore Cindy Lee Michelle Ligon Kim Lollis Steve Lothridge Teresa Loveland Edward Lowe Martin Lowry Scott Lynch Melvin Lyon Robert Lyons Greg Madden Jerry Madden Kim Madden Stanley Madden Randy Mahon Herbert Makins Matt Manning Bill Martin Bobby Martin Henry Martin Juniors 173 Oscar Massey Wendell Massey Lisa Mathis Karen Mattison Scott McCall Lisa McCurry Jackie McDaniel Crystal McDowell Glynis McDowell Synthia McDowell Dianne McGeehon Sonya McKittrick Julie McNinch Brian Meetze James Merrill Mike Milam Barbara Miller Bruce Mills Robbie Moreland Lamar Mundy Joy Nance Cindy Nelson Deborah Nesbitt Tim Norris Kenneth Owens Bee key Owings Darryl Palmer Connie Parker Vernessia Parks Melody Patterson 174 Juniors Ollie Patterson Beverly Payne Angela Penland Angela Penn Kim Pennington Sarah Philson Shawn Pietrowski David Pitts Calvin Powers Dee Prince Tammie Prince Lonnie Pulley Keith Radecke Rick Raines Bubba Rawl SAT urday A test on Saturday? To some people this seems outrageous, but many stu- dents got up early on November 6th and came to school especially for a test. Interested juniors and seniors took the Scholastic Achievement Test to get the necessary scores required by col- leges for entrance. The SAT covered the areas of math- ematics, word comprehension, analo- gies, equations and formulas, and a wide variety of geometric problems. The guidance department distributed pamphlets concerning the date and lo- cation of the test. Even sample ques- tions and entrance fees were included. Many students prepared for this test by studying vocabulary lists, mathematic formulas, and sample ques- tions. For those planning to go to college, this test held a special importance; the scores achieved could mean the difference between the acceptance or rejection of a college appli- cation. On a Saturday morning, students found getting up to face a test a difficult task. The SAT required much careful thought and concentration. On Saturday morning while many students slept late or watched television, some at school brainstormed on their SAT to achieve the highest possi- ble score in order to be accepted at their choice college. During his lunch period. Fred Whitmire con- sults Mr. Gerald Crawford about the SAT appli- cation and testing procedures. Juniors 175 Every student body has labels for different groups of students. Each individual sports a different and unique personality shared by no one else. Al- though personalities created individuals, many students fell into stereotyped characters. With people categorized as space ca- dets, jocks, preppies, and brains, the feeling that no one held anything in common often prevailed. When stu- dents were placed in the gymnasium or football stadium, however, everything changed. Students again became one body sharing a Raider Spirit. Football players are commonly stereotyped as jocks. On the sidelines of the Greenwood game, James Cunningham. Willie Dial, and Frank Cunningham congratulate each other on another victory.

New people meant new friends although old friends held first priority. As classes filled with students, making friends in a specific class became just as important as learning the subject taught. As friendships matured, students spent more time with friends. Throughout the year, groups of friends congregated at the movies, at the lake, and at football games. Problems often were solved with the help of close friends. Friends helped students learn about others while at the same time they learned about themselves. During a junior class meeting.

The effects of inflation, high interest rates, and unemployment have changed America’s youth significantly during the past few years. Students have adapted to the times and learned to make the best of the conditions in which they live. Although the economic situation in America is not as secure as in years past, this has not dampered the spirit of the students. In the face of adverse economic difficulties, students have managed to maintain their social lives even though their social lives have had to undergo a few reforms. The days of big cars, long drives, and inexpensive In the early fall at the Men's Shop, Robert Ly- ons examines a lightweight jacket before making his purchase. fuel are gone, but new means of entertainment have taken their place. Smaller, more fuel-efficient cars have replaced the big powerful, gas guzzlers of the past. Instead of the long drives around town or through the country, students gathered together at McDonald’s, the Pizza Hut, and various other places. This saved gasoline, and it also provided a very convenient way to meet with friends. In addition to the effects the economy had on the social aspect of their lives, clothing styles reflected a rejuvenated interest in quality and practicality. Students chose to wear clothing that lasted and could be worn longer than fad fashions. When shop- ping for Christmas gifts, students chose more practical and permanent items. The most popular items on the gift list this year were clothing, electronic devices, and money. When asked what effect the economy had on her, Cammie Stringer said, “At Christmas time, I was very careful about the gifts that I purchased.” Although the economy has had a notable effect on American society, stu- dents have faced up to the new prob- lems caused by the failing system and learned valuable lessons about surviv- ing in the modern world. Students of today, while enjoying themselves, have learned to budget their time, efforts, and finances. As Allen Shell said concerning the economy, “I’ve learned a lot about how to spend my money.” Mike Simmons With gas costing more, many students have found pumping their own gas an economical way to make their dollars go farther.

Juniors 181 Caught in the Middle Sophomores returned already knowing the five-minute dash to classes, a few of the pod names, and many courses in the curriculum. Having one year behind them, sophomores had more experience about the workings of the school. As sophomores, they finally were able to try out for their drivers’ licenses. With this privilege, they began driving to school; no longer would they have to wait for an older brother or sister to carry them. With the ability to drive came the responsibilities of obtaining parking permits. Throughout the year sophomores could be seen walking into the office to get their permits. Athletic sophomores practiced for hours to develop their skills for junior varsity teams and as cheerleaders for these teams. Sports provided an outlet for these athletic abilities; junior varsity teams toughened team members and gave them experience for the varsity teams. Caught in the middle, sophomores got ready for their junior and senior years with enthusiasm. Rings, clubs, and col- leges were goals sophomores worked to- ward throughout the year.

These agencies hold contests to find worthwhile experiments to be sent into space on the shuttle. The experi- ments were devised to find the effects of weightlessness on people, animals, and inert matter. After hearing about the project, John Kennedy, a sophomore, worked two months on his proposal —Sensory Perception and Reaction to Stimuli. John submitted his proposal to the re- gional competition through his chemis- try teacher, Mr. Harold Ligon, and it was one of 20 chosen to be submitted to NASA. John intended his project to test the difference in perception of pain in space and on earth. In order to test this factor, the astronaut would run electric current through his arm, slowly increasing the voltage until he could no longer stand the pain. The astronaut would then repeat this procedure in space and compare the amounts of current. The winners of the regional competi- tion went to NASA Langley Research Building with their sponsor-teacher; John and Mr. Ligon watched the shuttle launch on a large screen and toured the different departments of the center.

Classes, practices, and friends had to be faced by 8:15 a.m. Admittedly, ris- ing and shining every morning, one- hundred and eighty days out of the year, became a hard task. Students heard the alarm clock buzz at 6:30, which came too early in the morning, but with the smell of bacon in the air, students took the incentive to get up, eat, dress, and meet the bus or carpool. Whether they had the Monday blues or the Friday fever, students understood the importance of a good start. After the weekly rush of getting up in the morning, students often slept late on Saturdays. Sunday night, however, students once again faced the prospect of the Monday morning blues. When the alarm clock sounds every morning before school, Randy Gwinn makes an attempt to turn it off before rolling out of bed.

Several student organizations participated. The French students sang French carols; the cheerleaders rode in jeeps; and the band marched and played. Also participating were local beauty queens, Beverly Mar- tin— Princess of Flowers, the Homecoming Queen, and her court. Dressed as clowns, the Drama Club threw candy to the chil- dren watching the parade. As the parade came to an end, the last float rolled into view with Santa Claus riding in his sleigh.

Beverly Martin represented Laurens after hav- ing been selected by the Laurens Council of Garden Clubs. When asked about her nomination, Beverly said, “I was nervous. My mother told me first, and I really couldn’t believe it.” In preparation for the pageant, she chose different outfits to wear. While staying in a Lander dorm with three other girls, she kept a busy schedule. The days were filled with preparations for the pageant. During the day, they practiced for the opening number of the show when all the girls sang. If the girls were not practicing, they were having pictures made or had other en- gagements at the Park Seed company. When asked whether she planned to enter any more contests, she said, ‘‘Give me about five years, and then I will think about it. I have a terrible case of stage fright.” A contestant in the Festival of Flowers pageant. Beverly Martin rode in the Laurens Christmas parade.

As the Charleston and Fox Trot were popular years ago, the Smurf and Pop became the standard dances. The ever popular Shag was seen anywhere beach music could be found. Moving to the music freed many frustrations. The music and students blended together and troubles were for- gotten. Dances change as do students, but moving to the music stays the same.

Such is the case with Kim Hatley. Kim is a fourteen year old soph- omore who became very involved in soap operas, especially General Hospi- tal. During the past two years Kim has collected over 70 soap opera magazines, two scrapbooks full of photos of the stars and memorabilia, and autographs from four stars of General Hospital: Tony Geary, Tristan Rogers, Sharon Wy- att, and producer Gloria Monty. In addi- tion to her magazine and autograph collection, Kim has a collection of soap opera T-shirts. Kim’s interest started when she began reading a soap opera digest. She had already become very involved with the characters in General Hospital, so she continued to purchase magazines, T- shirts, and any other material about soaps. Kim plans to continue to add to her collection. The one thing that she wants to add to the accumulation is a photograph of her with Rick Springfield. Displaying her picture of the cast of General Hospital. Kim Hatley poses with some of her soap opera collection which includes magazines, T- shirts, and other items.

Cheerleaders sold ribbons, T-shirts, and buttons while the booster club sold bumper stickers, tow- els, bags, tags, and food. The Key Club helped in promoting basketball games by selling popcorn, candy, and drinks; money from their sales was used for community service projects. Whether selling or buying, students learned from their exposure to money. This practical experience taught stu- dents to be responsible for others’ money and with their own. Before the football game against Airport, Key Club advisor Mr. Sam Oakes and member Letherenda Gibbs box popcorn to be sold at the game. Eddie Jenkins Sophomores 199 The New Wait Entering a new place, with new people, new teachers, and new rules—freshmen. They participated in ninth-grade sports, the drama club, and various other organizations. The freshman class began high school with high spirits and the will to work. Freshmen seemed to spend the major- ity of their time waiting. They waited to get their drivers’ licenses, waited to join special clubs, and waited to become up- per classmen. As they waited, they worked toward these goals. Although everything was new to fresh- men, they caught on at pep rallies, foot- ball games, and class assemblies. All the newness startled freshmen at first, but as the year wore on they became adjusted to the everyday routine of school. Having come from four schools, the class of 1987 blended together as a new class for the first time.

Bobby Putman revs his engine to check his rpm's. MiV Simmon The Fast Lane Race car driving—a sport for many types of people. Mainly young adults participate in this sport, but there are exceptions. Bobby Putman, a freshman, only fifteen years old, enjoys this sport of speed. Although considered unsafe by many, the dangers of racing can be minimized. Before a driver goes onto the track, safety precautions are taken. The driver gets strapped into the seat, and helmets must be worn. These two precautions are taken to cut the possi- bility of injury by fifty percent. On Friday and Saturday nights, Bob- by either races or attends races in Laurens, Woodruff, or Fountain Inn.

Teenagers live in constant fear of this condition. Some seem to be hit hardest between 8:20 a.m. and 2:50 p.m. on weekdays. Toward the end of third period, the munchies usually attacked full force. While students with first lunch anticipated a meal, the munchies sensed a weak spot in resistance and sent a stabbing pain to the abdomen. For students with second lunch, fourth period was torture. Some students managed to conquer these pains while others gave in to the pressure and sneaked snacks in class. As long as there are students with munchies, there will be students fighting munchies. This battle can be accurately described as a fight against a snack at- tack. Johnell Davis Freshmen 207 Willie Grant Willie L. Grant Wanda Greene Danny Griffin Melinda Griffin Rickey Griffin Gene Guerrer Vernon Harkcom Ruthie Haner Denah Hanvey Brian Harlan Darren Harris Jeff Harris Jimmy Harris Lora Harris A Way To Go Whether a ride to school or a way to a friend’s house, transportation created a problem for most young people. Although most students wanted a car, many parents could not afford to supply one. Those students who did purchase cars experienced the extra expense of insur- ance and gas along with monthly install- ments. Some students preferred to buy a motorcycle because of better mileage. For others, the bus arrived and furnished a ride to school. Cars, motorcycles, and bus- es became the way to get students where they wanted to go. At the sound of the 2:50 bell, students head for their buses, cars, or carpools in order to travel home or to an after school job.

For students who did not wish to participate in organized sports, other options were available. For students who played tennis, the city park and YMCA supplied courts. Other students focused their attention on the fast-paced game of soccer. Stu- dents could be seen chasing the black and white ball all over the YMCA field. Instead of outdoor athletics, some students preferred the indoors. Roller skating and the ever popular video games provided an afternoon excursion during free time. Table tennis, air hockey, and billiards also offered entertainment. Laurens area students had many ways to spend extra time. Sports, reading, television, and many other activities gave students a chance to un- wind from the school schedule. At Eddie Jenkins’ house. Laralynn Madden shares a game of ping pong with a friend.

Since lunch attract- ed many students, lines were An everyday example of waiting in line is the cafeteria where students must wait to receive their lunches. automatically formed. Breaking and pushing were eliminated by teachers who monitored the lines for disruptions. When ordering graduation materials or class rings, students stood in line. At football games, spectators waited for tickets. When receiving spirit flowers, students formed lines. Even riding the bus required boarding one by one. Waiting in line faded as a problem; students became accustomed to lining up, waiting, and moving slowly. Tommy Mitchell R.

Whether in or out of town, alone or with friends, relaxed or actively involved, students filled their free time. Students often disappeared to the lake for a day of boating and water sports, to Haywood or Westgate Malls for shopping, or to Greenville and Spartanburg for lunch with friends. On organized trips, the Spanish Club visited Christ Church School to watch an authentic Spanish dancer; the Science Club participated in the Olym- piad at Lander; and the Christmas Show in Charlotte was the destination for the Home Economics Club. Stu- dents not only found time away from school but also experienced education outside the classroom. Getting away from school provided students with a breather from classes. Students returned to school rested and ready for a new day of classes. Jeffery Owens Jimmy Owens Todd Owens Lisa Owens Duane Owens Keith Painter Frank Parks.

Stu- dents tried desperately to stay away from the dreaded twelve points and the in-school-suspension penalty. Ap- proved by the Board of Trustees and developed through joint efforts of the student body, faculty, and administra- tion, the point system was designed to establish a sense of responsibility with students for their actions. While there were some students who deplored the system, others felt it just and effective. Freshman Keith Burriss commented, “The point system is an excellent sys- tem of discipline and a good way to keep order in our school.” Whether to regulate loitering in the halls or litter- ing the campus, the distribution of points was accepted by students as well as faculty.

On this night when the moon was full, ghosts and goblins came out to play. Teenagers dressed in their favorite costumes and headed to the haunted Octagon House sponsored by the Laurens County Arts Council. Some even ventured to the WFBC’s Monster Mansion in Greenville. No longer able to collect candy door to door, students enjoyed harmless pranks. Putting shaving cream on oth- ers, rolling lawns with toilet paper, and giving friends a good scare kept stu- dents busy into the night. Superstitious people watched for black cats, vampires, and werewolves but were surprised to see only friends. Whether scaring or scared, students watched horror movies or contributed to a friendly ghost story. On Hallow- een, students’ dormant devils emerged.

As Mickey Mouse items dominated the consumer market during the 40’s, E.T. products have made millions of dollars and the movie became the biggest box- office hit since Star Wars in 1976. The extra-terrestrial, a lovable little creature, was left behind when his spaceship landed on earth. In his search to find home he met Elliot, his friend who helped him through the journey. From their time together, E.T. learned about life on earth and the true meaning of friendship. Elliot helped E.T. through many obstacles, including death. Eventually E.T. phones home for his ride back to his planet. Since the movie’s release in the sum- mer, this little creature has won the hearts of many. Children asked for E.T. toys and dolls for Christmas. Peo- ple wore E.T. shirts and bought E.T. posters. Summer advertising played a large part in the promotion of the E.T. spirit. The spirit of E.T. will not fade away as easily as most movies do. The little spaceman with his “heartlight” has left his permanent mark on Earth.

English teacher Thomas Evatt stayed in Greece teaching native Greeks English. He got the job as a result of a newspaper ad wanting English teachers to teach Greeks. In a private school in a small Greek town, Mr. Evatt taught 200 students. Dur- ing school breaks he and a group of friends traveled throughout Europe. He said, “The highlight of my trip was a cruise in the Aegean and Christmas in England.” Although he enjoyed his one year stay in Greece, he was ready to return home. After the relaxation of a Greek lifestyle, he stated, “It was great to be home.” After arriving in the U.S., he secured his present position teaching freshman and senior English classes. In Greece.

She says, “It’s just a fun job, but it does get hectic at times.” All the equipment and many of the tapes belonged to Educational Television of South Carolina. Educa- tional Television lent the equipment to the school on a permanent basis. Through these programs, students were able to watch educational shows to supplement their classroom material. Even Mrs. Childress said, “You can be- come quite educated if you watch the programs.” On an average, each class spends one day a month watching ETV.

Students, parents, and businesses cooperated to encour- age and create school pride. Through financial and personal support, sponsors became an im- portant factor in refining the gold. Money and gifts from Laurens County merchants, industries, and service groups supported school publications, purchased new school equipment, and upgraded existing facilities. Along with the help from in-school clubs and booster clubs, students marketed items such as cheese or fruit to support school- sponsored events. By attending athletic events and choral, drama, and band perfor- mances, Raider fans boosted mo- rale and added to school spirit. The determined effort of Raiders and their supporters was evidence in every achievement of the school. Even those remotely con- nected to the school helped to mo- tivate students to better the school and themselves. Through continual support, not only students but also parents, and community members contributed to refine the gold.
