TABLE OF CONTENTS Opening U nderclassmen Homecoming Court Football Volleyball Band Faculty Basketball Organizations Baseball Tennis Superlatives Seniors Patrons Freshmen... NEW KIDS IN TOWN Dear Yearbook, Some say being a Ireshman at Loretto High School is one of the worst things you have to go through. To some people that may be true, but I think I speak for most freshmen when I say it is also one of the best times of your life. — Kelli Davis ABOVE RIGHT: Lee Ann Thomas, Michael Robinson, and Myra Robinson enjoy their sixth period Art class. ABOVE LEFT: CHECKING IT OUT Freshmen Nichole Wisdom and Cara Childress learn how to make the best of Loretto's excellent library facilities. RIGHT: AND JUST WHY NOT? Ms. Augustin checks homework assignments in sixth period English I. Each new group of freshmen brings its own fresh approach to excuses for not having homework. 2 ABOVE: KEEP YOUR EYES ON THAT BOOK, BOYSI Jonathan Pettus and Chad Augustin are caught looking around during Ms. Belew's Typing I class. BELOW: GIVE US A BREAKI Mr. Augustin's third period Physical Science class takes a break from daily duty. Dear Yearbook, Many people have told me that high school will be the best four years of my life, and I am anxious to see for myself. — Myra Robinson ABOVE: Jody Peters checks the fin alignment while Michael ABOVE: DOSEY DO YOUR PARTNER. Ms. E’s third Robinson and Johnny Owens stuff chicken wire on the period PE class gets into the swing of square dancing, freshmen's Homecoming float. 3 LOCKERS '87 Dear Yearbook, The bell just rang and everyone is pouring out of the classrooms, heading for me. Some pass by and go to my neighbors. My owner is approaching; I squeeze my eyes shut, fearing the oncoming terror. I feel my lock being twisted in every direction. Then, it is given a violent yank. Now my front has been blown off and all the books are shoved inside. Ouch! People are so careless of loose notebook wires! The door is slammed shut. Everyone is re- treating. I wink at 48 across from me and say, Only once more today — Tara Hollmann ABOVE LEFT: AVOIDING ALL THE RUSH There are actually a few sane people who can reach their lockers in peace. This group of Loretto High students choose to wait until the initial bedlam has subsided before entering the locker area. ABOVE RIGHT: JUST THE RIGHT TOUCH Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to fit all your books neatly into a locker. However, if you take six classes, and you are always in a hurry, odds are your locker never looked this good. 4 ABOVE: LOCKED TIGHT Ricky Weaver's worst dream comes true as he discovers his locker is well locked. ABOVE: MADHOUSE Going to your locker is like going through a mad street. Everyone pushes in so they won't be late. LOCKERS: A Teacher's View I expect to find bodies. — Ms. Belew Chaotic ! — Mr. Neidert Like a riot ! — Mr. Green Traffic in down- town Atlanta ! — Ms. Leighton ABOVE: DEAD ZONE Ms. Belew's pro- phecy comes true as the first body of the year is discovered in Area A. ABOVE: IN SHOCK Scott Rhodes seems to be in shock after another near death experience in the lockers of Area C between third and fourth period. Lockers are more of a curse than a blessing. — Susan Gable i-----1 i---1 i i A WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN I 8 I I s I I © 1 Lj Hallways... CRUISIN' THE STRIP!! OUT OF MY WAY! Leroy Adams, clinging to the wall, avoids the rush hour traffic. Shawn Andrews and David Williams watch the on-coming traffic. BEWARE! Michelle Gulley is attacked by a strange set of legs which seems to have no body or head. Teresa Boyd and Lin- da Kilpatrick witness this unusual event. Be careful, these legs may still be on the loose at LHSII 6 DANGEROUS INTERSECTION AHEAD A sign should be put up on the comer of Science Street and Math Avenue that says No Parking Zone. Dear Yearbook, Walking around the halls at Loretto High School is like cruisin' the strip. It's boring, but you get to see and talk to everybody. People cruise around the hall to find some friends to stop and talk to. Some people feel they have to walk around the halls and ride up and down the strip because they think somebody is interested in them. As the saying goes, it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. — Hope Putman GIRL TALK Priscilla Wells, Denise Goolsby, and Melinda Keeton, find time to discuss the day's activities just before getting on the bus. BEEPI BEEP! The hallway is worse than a downtown traffic jam. — Florence Dunlop CAUGHT BY RADAR! Cheryl Chandler. Kelly Hughes, Jill McMackin, and Kim Kim Kimbrell are caught trying to sneak away from Mr. Augustin again. HOMECOMING 1986 Hard work, spirit, and enthusiasm can't change the outcome Homecoming Week Activities bring with them the need to work together. Homeroom door decorations and float preparation kept students busy all week long. BELOW LEFT: Juniors Pam Lamprecht and Cheryl Chandler adjust pomps along the skirt as Miriam Simbeck and Amy Thomas put finishing touches on the cradle. BELOW RIGHT: Ms. Henson-Hunt provides assistance to Dana Jones as they prepare the rocket nose-cone to be used on the senior float. BOTTOM LEFT: This year's freshman class included many who were willing to be involved. Brigette Dover receives an encouraging pat on the back from sponsor Jane Dryden-Dickson. Also helping adjust the fin on the Chapel Hill Rocket is Jonathan Pettus. Dear Yearbook, Homecoming is a special time for all Loretto High students. Memories of dec- orating the school and floats linger long after the tissue paper has gone. My memories of Senior Homecoming will last a lifetime. — Ann Sandy Homecoming Queen 8 Weathers, Andy Moore, and Rod Chance. ABOVE: WINNING FLOAT The Junior float took top honors at the parade. It featured a fallen rocket in a huge black and gold cradle. LEFT: The Marching Mustangs lined up in jeans and tee shirts in order to beat the heat and the extremely long parade route. BELOW LEFT: The volleyball team showed their spirit by leading the parade with cheers. BELOW: John Weathers, Ann Sandy, and Andy Moore work on the Senior float in preparation for the Homecoming parade. Remember Homecoming day? Sure, everyone remembers that. That is the day when some people come to work on the floats. There are others who just come to goof off. — Kristal Tucker TOUGH GAME Eddie Rogers carries the ball as Brent Buttrum runs interference in an offensive play against Forrest High school. Mustangs fell to the Rockets 27 to 6. 9 Think Tank Concentrating During Class Time ABOVE: ITS A BREEZE Anthony Daniels and Ricky Byrd exhibit some heavy concentration as Shawn Byrd does some characteristic clown- ing during a small engines repair class in Ag. RIGHT: HELLO DOLLY 11 Ms. Leighton will be more than happy to con- sult with anyone interested in her hairstyle, make-up, fashions, or even her orthodontia. Says Leighton: Who am I to keep beauty secrets such as these secret ? Dana Jones, Florence Dunlop, and Beth Jones enjoy Chemistry Lab. The trio noted that the work is more enjoyable than most class work since they can talk and work at the same time. SURPRISE. SURPRISE!! Catching Stephanie Gooch at work was as much a surprise to her as it was to the photographer. 10 Dear Yearbook, In Mechanical Drawing I've never had home- work, and in two years I've only had one testi I still have to work hard to get the work done on time, but it's more like on the job training than school. — John Weaver THE CAT'S MEOWI Special Education teacher Pat Murrell assumes a classic pose in celebration of Halloween. The Student Council sponsored a schoolwide Halloween Costume Contest and Ms. Murrell, along with dozens of other people, came dressed for the occasion. HABLAN ESPANOL. Wayne Williams, Avery Cole, and Cara Childress display their Spanish skills during Ms. Reeves' 3rd period Spanish I class. The ad- dition of the Honors Diploma has increased the number of language students greatly this year. Dear Yearbook, Here we go again with another year of school, and along with school comes homework. H, O, M, E, W, O, R, K. My dearest yearbook, I know what you are thinking. You're wondering how these slave drivers disguised as teachers can work us all day and then assign all that deadly homework. I don't know what possesses them to do this, but whatever the cause, the fact still remains — I've got to do my homework. — Sherry Richardson n LUNCHROOM: Life (and Death?) in the LHS Messhall Dear Yearbook, Lunch. The time we get to gulp down some greasy fries and a soybean burger with friends. Conversation is the best part of lunch because you hear and tell the latest gossip. If you have a test the next period, you can always use the time to cram for it. Lunch is probably the best part of the day. — Keith Stanford ABOVE: MESSY EATER Anthony Daniels demonstrates the proper way to enjoy your food. Along with Anthony, most students find lunch to be a time to unwind and relax. Although everyone complains about the food, most find it to be good enough to eat. ABOVE: FOOD SCULPTURE Some students prefer to play with their food rather than eat it. This food sculpture by John Abercrombie exemplifies the creative ability ABOVE DAlLYljjfcHORE Bennie of the typical LHS student. £ dr Mae Filter takes up lunch money. - Lunch is a groat time to socialize as well as ©at (or whatever else y ou want to dol). BELOW: Teresa Ezell. Kristi Wiggens, Donna Roberts, and Teresa Purcell enjoy time out from class for lunch and more than a little conversation. The salad bar can be a Godsend! On days when the thought of school food is unbearable, the salad bar comes to the rescue. At least soybeans can't be substituted for lettuce. — Anita Allen The lunchroom is where I go to eat what they call food that you can't eat anyway. — Jimmy Rogers Dear Yearbook, Lunchrooms are fun. You get to talk to your friends that you don't see during the day. — Bonnie Davis 13 A World View LIFE IS NOT RIGHT: They call it crack on the East Coast and rock on the West Coast. Whatever its name, this refined, smokable form of cocaine may be the most addictive and deadly narcotic sold on the streets of America. BELOW RIGHT: A drought spread throughout the Southeast during 1986. It was the worst dry spell on record. At the peak of the drought, crops wilted from southern Penn- sylvania all the way into northern Florida. ABOVE: The New York Mets won an 8-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox in the seventh game of the World Series. RIGHT: 1700 people died within minutes when a scalding hot cloud of carbon dioxide gas rose from the depths of Lake Nios in Cameroon and drifted over their villages. Also among the casualties were a large group of cows. 14 LIMITED TO LHS LEFT: President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikail Gorbachev met in Reykjavik, Iceland for a two-day summit in October to discuss arms control. The two leaders reached an impasse on the testing of the U.S. Star Wars weaponry. BOTTOM LEFT: Miss Tennessee Kellye Cash was crowned Miss America 1987. She received the crown from out-going Miss America Susan Akin. BOTTOM RIGHT: U.S. Air Force and Navy jets attacked five targets inside Libya under cover of darkness in April 1986, delivering a response to what President Reagan called the monstrous brutality of Libyan backed terrorism. Despite the show of force, terrorism continued to plague the world throughout 1986 and 1987. Obituaries Among the celebrities who died in 1986 were singer Kate Smith; Benny Goodman, known as the King of Swing; James Cagney, one of the famous movie tough guys, and Ted Knight, known for his role in the Mary Tyler Moore Show Kate Smith Benny Goodman James Cagney Ted Knight 15 Dedication Dear Yearbook, During my time at LHS, I met a real teacher. Not that they don't have a lot of real teachers here, but this one is, well, unreal she's so real. In her class you have homework that doesn't stop. And the things we have to do for her! We have to read books. We have to write paragraphs. We even have to speak proper English! And you know dearest yearbook, she really enjoys teaching English. It's like she really wants us to understand our language. Sure, I was like everyone else my first year here at LHS. I hated English. I hated all the work and all the corrections she made us do. But the more I worked for her, the less problems I had and the better I understood English. And you know, the best part of it is that this year I'm not having problems at all, and I owe it all to the freshman English teacher. Thanks Ms. Augustin. You really do make a difference. Sincerely, (Name withheld in case of grammatical error) Ms. Augustin In 1952, Ms. Augustin began her career in education as a teacher at St. Joseph Elementary School in St. Joseph. Tennessee the following year she was transferred to Loretto High School, where she would teach Chemistry and English for the next eight years. Ms. Augustin left LHS in the spring of 1961 and did not return until the fall of 1977. In the sixteen years that elapsed between teaching assignments at LHS. she taught at Lajes High School in the Azores. Portugal; at Bel-Air High School in Bel-Air. Maryland; and at Goodietsville High School in Goodletsville. Tennessee. Since she returned to LHS. Ms. Augustin has taught the bulk of freshman English, giving incoming freshmen a firm grasp on the English language. Because of her dedication to learning and her concern for the students of LHS, we, the Mustang '87 staff, do dedicate this yearbook to Ms. Augustin 16 FALL Dropping Leaves Bring Students Back to LHS Dear Yearbook, Fall is the time of year I think of when I think of school. Fall is more than just leaves dropping from the trees; it is also the time when my friends and I return to school. Of course the school year usually starts in August, but it isn't long before there is a change in the weather, and it just feels like school. Cooler weather means classes, homework, and lunchroom food. It also means football games, Homecoming, and bonfires. Fall means a return to a daily routine. Summer is great for a while, but pretty soon, you just run out of things to do. At least when you get back to school you can depend on seeing your friends every day. Sure you have to put up with teachers and homework, but it is worth it. Sincerely, A. Student 17 EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES There Is More To School Than School ABOVE: Gina Hollman, Tresa Johnson, and Sherry Tidwell make use of the opaque projector to prepare a poster for World History class. Assemblies are not always exciting, as one can tell by looking at the faces of these students. Stephanie Riddle, Joey Hensley. Denryl Stephenson, and Rob Beckman all look as if they have somewhere else they'd rather be. On the other hand, feature films provide students with a chance to relax and have a good time with friends while also providing a much needed source of income for the school. ABOVE: Field Trips provide a great way to learn away from school.

In 1985, the total sales approached 15,000 dollars, five times the amount raised the year before. This year (1986) our goal was $ 16,000, and we exceeded our goal. The 1986 Magazine Sales Drive was kicked off by a parody of 'Tet's Make A Deal, including good prizes and zonkers. Mr. Daniel (above left) helped out by appearing as the lovely Vanna. Ms. E (above middle) called out the numbers of lucky students who would get a chance to compete for the prizes. The competition was an exciting time as is witnessed by this group of Juniors (above right). Ms. Murrell's homeroom won the much coveted Banana Split Party for being top homeroom on the first turn in day. (1-r) Melinda Lawson. Daniel Bromley, Ms. Murrell, Freddie Lin ville, and Darrell Wells. TOP SEVEN SALES PEOPLE These students were the top sales people. They all sold over 20 units and earned the right to play Mustang Bingo lor the Sharp VCR. Michele Johns won the big prize while all the others also won prizes. (1-r) Sherry Richardson, Dawn Simbeck, Melinda Lawson, Michele Johns, Susan Flatt, Anissa Pettus, and Richie Wakefield. OVERALL TOP HOMEROOM Ms. Henson-Hunt's homeroom averaged more money per person than any other homeroom. For their excellent salesmanship they were treated to breakfast at Shoney's.

Among the featured songs they sang were Word Up by Cameo. 'I'll Be Over You by Toto, and Sleeping Bag by ZZ Top. Everyone had a fine time. 21 HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST The Student Council sponsored a costume contest on Halloween day. Many people dressed up for the occasion, and we had a variety of costumes.

When asked how he got started filming the games, he said. My eighth grade teacher asked me to come and start filming the games.' Craig says filming gives you a chance to see some funny things, and you get into the game free. It's Magic! The Amazing Preston Visits LHS On Tuesday December Ninth at 10am Preston the hypnotist made a personal appearance at LHS. Cindy Mashburn, a junior, is pictured checking lor the showtime. Cindy couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the show! Everything was happening! Preston started the show with the disappearing bird trick. Jill McMackin and Carla Davis were his assistants from the audience. They received paper prizes made by magic. Next. Preston chose several students from the crowd and hypnotized them. D3nnis Chandler, thinking he was Bruce Springsteen, gave a less than memorable tribute to Elvis. Belinda Masterson was hypnotized into thinking she was a great speaker. She spoke only letters of the alphabet — no words. Scott Augustin and Anita Allen believed they were little children on an airplane ride. Scott also impressed (or depressed the crowd) with his dancing ability. Everyone enjoyed the show and hoped he would return next year. David Williams.

STEPHANIE COX An Everlasting Friendship Friendship is like an algebra problem, so com- plicated that its true meaning may never be found. Anyone who has a best friend knows that the best times that you can have are with them. Getting into trouble wouldn't be near as much fun without each other. Without friends who would stay out late with you and then come home and face up to the trouble with you? Friends can be a shining star in the night because a true friend will always shine through for you. They will help you get over life's lumps and bumps. As freshmen, everyone is frightened on the first day of high school, but it's better when you have someone to do the stupid and embarrass- ing things with, like taking a seat in Chemistry class when you're supposed to be in Physical Science. Sometimes friends become so close that peo- ple think they look enough alike to be twins. Friends are people who will laugh with you but never laugh at you. They listen to all your secrets and dreams. They cry with you when you are sad. All true friends believe in you and stand beside you, come what may. Friends are each different in their own ways, but when things are as they should be, friends act like one person. Leigh Ann Thomas and Stephanie Cox Stephanie and Leigh Ann are definitely close friends, and as they said in the letter, have been accused of being twins. One thing is for sure, these two giggle enough to bring joy to everyone's day! (above right) With the success of Hands Across America. this group of students decided to organize their own Hands Across the Hallway. As you can see. it was also a success; it kept them out of class, (right) Junior boys find time to congregate while waiting on Ms. Leighton to open the door. 40 MATH IS FUN? (above) This bunch of bananas is all smiles about something as they wait to start Ms. Lantz's class. FRIENDS (below) Cara Childress and Nichole Wisdom are two more friends who are always together at LHS sharing a good time. SHARING A LAUGH (below) Tina Weigart, Elizabeth Hardwick, Fig Newton and Debbie Burgess share a laugh during Physical Science. CONCERT TEES (above) Attending concerts with friends is a favorite after school activity especially if you get to wear your tee shirt the next day. COURTING (above) Being with someone special is always nice. Even if it is Greg. Dear Yearbook, A friend is hard to define. Being a true friend is not easy. A friend gives encouragement when the chips are down. A friend sees the good side of you and not the bad. A friend is there at all times. A friend helps you grow, mature, and reach your highest goals. — Greg Garretson 41 Mustang Football 1986 Under New Leadership: ARE YOU SURE THE BALL IS HERE?

What was your first impression of LHS? 1 was impressed with the faculty and students This school is suitable to me. Everybody is friendly and nice. How long have you been coaching? I've coached for 33 years, and I've coached baseball, wrestling, goU, and basketball off and on through the years. What did you think about this season s record? I think we were all disappointed at not winning many games, but I think we are all happy with what we accomplished this year What plans do you have for next year? We are going to try and improve as much as possible and get more people to come out for athletics in order to build a better program here at LHS.

For the first year in anyone's memory, we went an entire winter without getting out for snow. Of course, come April, we got a snow that got us out at lunch and allowed us to start late another day. Maybe next year all our dreams will come true. LHS Students Do Crazy Things Learning Can Be Fun Too! Above Left: Barbie King becomes a model as the French Class studies the names of body parts.

It's easy to have fond memories of friends, homecoming, and proms. However, I hope that you will take with you something else from Loretto High School. LHS is more than just a school. It is a tradition. Many of your parents and even grandparents attended and graduated from LHS. These past graduates have set standards which serve as examples to you. Whether you are the first, second, or third generation to attend LHS, I hope that you acquire a sense of pride, a feeling of accomplishment, and a desire to excel in life. These are the lessons Loretto High School teaches. If these lessons are learned, the good times of high school will last forever, and although you leave LHS, Loretto High will never leave you.

Because of this, LHS is the best place to get a high school education. When you are having troubles, the teachers are all willing to lend you a helping hand. If you just need someone to talk to they are always willing to listen. It's like teachers here remember what it was like to be a teenager and they can understand what you are going through, (clockwise from upper left corner) Students in Mr. Pepper's class receive individualized assistance in filling out job applications and obtaining summer or full time employment. Ms. Crawford gives after school help in Chemistry to Mark Rohling and Charlotte Smith. Or is she just giving them Avagadro's number so he can be reached at home? Even substitutes like Ms. Heon are interested in student progress. Ms. Simbeck tries once again to convince students that simplifying equations is just that — simple.

Hard hats and eye protection are worn at all times while on the Job. 74 Loretto High School is unique among area schools in that it boasts an excellent Building Trades class. Under the guidance of Mr. Henry Beckman, the GB Boys learn a trade that will be proven worthwhile time and time again. Each year the class activities vary. Some years the classes build a house from the ground up. Other years may be devoted to woodworking skills like wood turning or woodcarving. No matter what the lesson plan, students in GB learn that hard work and patience are the key to acquiring the «kills of the master carpenter.

The Sales Drive raised over $ 16 thousand in magazines. The Council also sponsored the annual Homecoming Parade. This year they held a Halloween Costume Contest. During the Christmas season each homeroom contributed money and bought Christmas gifts for needy children in the county. This gift giving was made possible by First Farmers and Merchants National Bank. In the spring the Council presented the second annual Mustang Madness Day.

Little do they know that even though you don't ride them, you still have to be hassled by them. For a brief time this year, the student parking lot became a battleground. An early morning sneak attack by bus drivers revealed that the bus parking area had been expanded at the expense of the student parking area. Tempers flared, and parking became a game of cunning rather than convenience. Each day that passed the war escalated. To many, the rule first come first served was as invincible as the rules of the Geneva Convention. However, late arrivers changed the rule to first come — get blocked in. Ultimately, a truce was called, and parking returned to semi-normal. The tension between the opposing sides still exists, and no sure solution is forthcoming.

It is one of the few spots in the building other than the lunchroom where students can actually sit down. Sitting in the hallways is forbidden and rather than make continuous laps around the halls before school many opt for the library. It is also a good place to catch up on last minute gossip before a full day of school. RIGHT: Steven Fisher, Clifford Novem, and Jimbo Dotty take time out to relax in the reading area. BELOW LEFT: Ms. Henson-Hunt prepares another of her infamous 'overduehit lists.

This year the Student Council honored LHS teachers on Teacher Appreciation Day by giving a party in the library. Being a place where students can relax before school allows students to overcome their dread of the library. Gretchen Hannah, Stephanie Cook, and Amy Putman take time out to enjoy talking to friends. Also a source of knowledge, the library provides students with the reference books and other sources of information for classroom work. Here, Randy Cole selects a current magazine from the library's excellent variety of periodicals.

Beth Jones, and Hope Putman. 105 Faces of the Crowd 106 107 All Sports Banquet Recognizing Our Athletes The 1987 All Sports Banquet was held on May 8 at the Loretto Civic Center.

I made many new friends and have enjoyed being with all my old friends. The entire staff has worked very hard to produce the best yearbook ever. Of course, you the students will be the final judges of our work. I would like to thank the staff for their work. I would also like to thank Mr. Beckman for his time and the use of his photos. Special thanks to Randy Brewer and Howard Johnston at the Democrat-Union for the use of their sports photos. And last but not least, I would like to thank Mr. Augustin who was the driving force behind this year's Mustang. He has a way of making work fun as well as getting the job done. Sincerely yours, Damon Deese, Editor I
