These seniors are chosen by their classmates and the faculty. A student whose name appeared on the student list and the teacher list was chosen as an outstan- ding senior. If a student’s name ap- peared on either one or the other of the two lists, he she was given honorable mention. We appreciate these hard working seniors who have given so much to Madison County High School by their dedication.

The varsity cheerleaders, under the supervision of neu sponsor Teresa Ruther- ford, had a very exciting and productive year. Although they did not attend camp, they sponsored many fundraising projects and were able to purchase new uniforms and shoes. The cheerleaders spent many long hours after school practicing pom pon routines, cheers, and chants. AH their hard work paid off as they performed at pep rallies, football games, and basketball games throughout the year. Although the cheerleaders usually end their season after basketball, they continued to dedicate many hours during baseball and softball by sell- ing concessions at each home game. Because the entire squad was dedicated to supporting the Cowboys 110%, they pro- ved that the 1985-86 varsity cheerleaders are really HOT! 1. 1st Row L to R: Kathy Maxwell, Kathryn Bibb, Mary Bess Johnson, Colleen Latta, Elizabeth Brown, Crystal Scott, Allyson Gardner. 2nd Row: Jen Ann King, Tammy Robinson, Tonja Clemons. 2.

Although in past years the J. V. have frequently been pushed aside, this season was only the beginning of superior squads expected in coming years. The future winning seasons in the J. V. program will be attributed to a group of young men who are very dedicated and concerned about making this new beginning for the J. V. at MCHS.

These were the key to a winning season. The girls’ basketball team was district runner-up and participated in sub-regional playoffs. They also took third place in the tournament held over the Christmas holidays.

It is a class filled with academic scholars and young men and women who will some day make a mark in this world. The school year was filled with activities to help defray expenses for the Senior Trip and Grad Nile. The seniors hosted the Senior Fish Fry, sold themselves during Senior Work Day, sold $9,000 of M M's, and demonstrated their many talents during the Senior Follies. Their hard work paid off as they had the time of their lives on the two trips. 2 The end of the year brought the Junior- Senior Prom, many banquets, Awards Day, picking up caps and goums, learning how to do the “half step, the Senior Picnic, Bac- calaureate, and finally — Graduation. The class of 1986 will not soon be forgotten for they have made their mark on MCHS. 122 Student Life 4 m Left Page: . The seniors toast each other at the prom. 2.

Lee, Last night I had a dream about our childhood years, It brought back all the memories filled with cheers and tears. Then this morning I awoke with the same thoughts in my mind, 1 cried out, Sissy, Sissy” but sissy I could not find. I lay there awhile desperately seeking for those days of yesteryear, and suddenly I was overtaken with a chilling bit of fear. I realized that those days are gone and that you 've stepped into your womanhood I guess that I knew it and all along I've completely understood. The time has come and gone so quickly but today is yours my dear, and if ever you're lonely for childhood memories we will always be very near. Love ya forever, Lynn Lee Anne, Love and best wishes to you, now and always. Forever, Mama. A!

The old adage, A picture is worth a thousand words” cer- tainly holds true. The closing section will hoepfully help recall memories of all those times. As wonderful as school days are, So filled with fun and laughter, You’ll find still better times ahead In the years that follow after So, as you say good-bye to school And start upon your way Hold fast to all the special plans You're dreaming of today And face the future with high hopes, With strength and energy So in your heart, you ’ll always know “The best it yet to be.1” The past four years of my life at Madison County High School have gone by very fast, and it's hard to believe it's over. This past year has been the saddest because of the loss of a classmate and dear friend, but it has also been the most rewarding year. As editor of the 1985-86 yearbook, I have teamed a great deal. I will cherish that experience always. Even through the most hectic times of staying after school until 7 pm. to finish a deadline, the effort paid off. This is especially true when the finished product is received. To each of the staff members I wish only the best, and to Mary Bess I wish luck, patience, and endurance as the 1987 editor. 1 offer a special thanks to the following, and may God bless each of you forever. ftonrttr tSrrnfton Mrs. Ann Blair David Newman Ronda Smoak Martye Curtis Paul Braswell Mary Bess Johnson Steve Walden Teresa Bishop Stephanie Phillips Annette Parramore Elizabeth Brown Stephanie Webb Stacey Scott Tina Mill age Stacey Johnson Staci Harmmond Pam Barclay Lynn Hart Sharon Hardee Gard Gardner Audra Fox Kayte Fuqua
