“Our school has a reputa- tion of excel- lence because of our out- standing band, awesome ath- letic teams, and our academic prestige.” — John Gray Painted with Energy Whether at school, at home, or out for the summer break, students found ways to spend their time. Football games, dating, and free time — part of student life that helps to paint the town gold. With school in session, students found time to squeeze in activities alongside homework. The school offered ways to get involved — clubs, class elections, chorus, band, and athletic events. Even class time and assignments gave students a challenge to achieve and learn. But, on weekends, students spent time really painting the town gold. Some students cruised through town or McDonald’s, and others water skiied at Lake Greenwood. Several teenagers went to Greenville on dates; there they enjoyed the places that Greenville had to offer. Any time a student has a break from work, school, or other obliga- tions, he could be found relaxing. While some relaxed by watching television, others used that time for resting or reading. Students always found time to show their spirit at school or on the weekends. At school, students showed their spirit by wea ring green on Fridays. Students showed their spirit in the community by selling ads to local businesses. On week- ends, students displayed their spirit by painting on Raider Road at mid- night. While some students used their time creating spirit in school, others spent their time creating spirit in the community. No matter how differ- ently students spent their time, they each found a way to paint the town gold.
