(Big Man On Campus) Opening 9 You Are a Star MCHS's motto for this year is You Are A STAR (Striving To Achieve Realistically). Originally created for the sophomore SSAT teams by the math and communications departments, this dynamic phrase was adopted by the administrative staff to be used for the entire school. All students were encouraged to set goals with the belief that these goals could be accomplished through their dedication and hard work. For this reason, academic pep rallies became the latest trend on campus. These spirited events, held at the end of the first three nine weeks, were used as incentives to honor MOST IMPROVED'' and EHONOR ROLL students, as well as other worthy honors or achievements earned by individuals or groups during that grading period. The excitement of the occasions boosted on by cheerleaders, faculty entertainment, and the entire school as rooting sections became a major inspiration for many students TO STRIVE TO ACHIEVE REALISTICALLY.

FOOD SERVICES Food Services is a class that is virtually unknown by most at school. Under the instruction of Mrs. Betty Gillyard, these ninth and tenth graders are taught the proper procedures for the preparation of fast foods. In class, these students begin with the basic food preparation of tuna, chef, and fruit salads. Further advancement allows for the use of the range, grill and deep-fryer for the preparation of various types of sandwiches and soups. The final phase of the course is the preparation of fried chicken and french fries. During both lunch hours, faculty and staff members who are in- terested may purchase these meals at a minimum charge. They have the option of being served in class or have take-out orders. Mrs. Gillyard proudly stated that she's had several success stories. Aside from the fact that many have pursued jobs at local fast food restaurants, several have furthered their education in food service courses at TCC. One of her former students has advanced to the position of manager at KFC in Tallahassee. Mrs. Gillyard is an inspiration to her class and constantly reminds them to always be the best that they can be. 3. Mrs. Gillyard makes sure that everything is going well. ■ ' 2.

Misty and her Belgian friend Niko have celebrity People 39 Made-to-Order Memories The ordering and subsequent ar- rival of class rings are two of the major highlights of the year for many juniors. Several were eager to discuss the importance of their rings and made the following com- ments: When I look at my ring years from now, I will remember all of the memories I shared with friends, teachers, and my high school sweetheart. This ring will bring back the best memories of my high school years. My class ring is a memoir of the good times I have had at M.C.H.S. When I look at my class ring I will think of my many friends who turned my ring and the one special person who locked it. My class ring means a lot to me. When I look at it, I think of all the school years behind me and the one year ahead. I realize that my high school years are about to come to an end. In years to come when I look at my ring I will prob- ably think of how anxious I was to get it. I will also think of the many good times I've had in high school. I will look back and remember my high school friends, teachers, and more than anything, football, baseball, and my girlfriend. My class ring will be my key into tne past. When I look at it. I'll remember all the fun things I have done and all my friends that I did them with. 1.

Any sophomore in the State ot Honda is fully aware that taking and passing it is a requirement. Passing the SSAT helps determine whether they, as graduating seniors, will receive a regular diploma or a certificate of attendance Here at MCHS, the sophomores as a class have been c hallenged to make, if not exceed, their 90 Ki math and communications goal. Measuring up to these expectations, will mean that this is the first time in T years that a sophomore class here has been able to do so. To create more enthusiasm, these students were divided into teams with math and communications teachers as coaches Parents functioned as cheerleaders, and to show their support, they provided delicious snacks. When the results return, rewards for outstanding ac hievement will me lude a half day out of «lass with field day activities and picnic. The team that merits the highest overall score lor both parts will be recognized with individualized plaques, and the team's coaches will have their name's placed on a trophy.

People 67 ORGANIZATIONS People 69 MACOHI Putting It Together (bit • by • bit) The Macohi staffers soon learned that yearbook production involved more than just placing school day pictures on pages. It involved much responsibility and tedious planning. According to first year adviser Mrs. Moore, Yearbook production has truly been a challenge, but thanks to the diligence and dedication of my staff, this experience has been most rewarding. With 15 of its 17 members also newcomers, the staffers readily learned the importance of hard work, frustration, patience, and persistence. These factors, together with expecting the unexpected as deadlines approached gave everyone new outlooks as they faithfully worked to put each page of the yearbook together (bit • by • bit).

Kim Plain — Miss Macohi Class, we made our deadline! Hot Off the Press!!! The Silver Lariat, sponsored by Mrs. Hale, printed a total of eight issues for the year. Besides having the latest news, sports, and editorials, the newspaper had several new additions which included Behind the Scenes — recognizing one custodian, cafeteria worker, or volunteer that helped make MCHS a better home away from home. Cowboy and Cowgirl of the Month — recognizing one boy and one girl from MCHS that exhibited a STAR attitude in striving to do his her best. Principal's Corner — Mrs. Miller's special message to the school. Happy Birthday — listing student's names and birthdates for each month. Club Directory — Reporting club activities and requirements for membership. L. L. Ace Column — (Letters About Life advice column) answering students' questions that dealt with school, peer pressure, etc. Doctor's Column — students' questions pertaining to medical problems or concerns were answered by one of the doctors at Tri-County Medical Center. During the school year, the staff sold balloons to assist with the printing costs. This fundraiser was one method that allowed the students to be able to express themselves to others on special occasions. All and all, the Silver Lariat had a very rewarding year. by Jackie Curtis Staffers are busily working to complete their features before the deadline.

The club consists of the president and one elected member from each club and the president of each class. The purpose of the club is to encourage cooperation among all groups and organizations, keep the student body informed of activities and events, get students involved in school activities and promote school spirit. 1.

A division of the Rotary Club, Interact helps its members to develop constructive leadership, better self- awareness, and international understanding. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Martha Grant, along with the special assistance of members of the Rotary Club. Mrs. Grant enthusiastically remarked that the members really seemed to enjoy the club because of the many challenges it provided. Because it promotes service to the school, commu- nity, and international levels, Interact is indeed a worth- while organization. Some of the many activities planned for the year included Polio Plus (international project), Pack the Gym (school project), helping burn out families, raking yards (community project), Christmas caroling (nursing home project), and a sales project. Interact charter members take a picture. Do you get the message? Mrs. Grant and officers. 1-2-3, CHEESE! Is it over yet? We're ready for business. Organizations 75 F.H.A. — Success Is At Your Feet It took a lot of hard work and dedication to make this year successful. F.H.A.'ers participated in many events. First on the agenda was Family Night lnstallation to install the new officers and introduce members. Then at the District meeting, Rhonda Williams and Tonya Sircy were selected to represent this district at state. The chapter was also represented well at district proficiency events. F.H.A.'ers were very active the remainder of the year working on projects such as the Christmas party for the T.M.R. students and serving at various banquets and luncheons. The state convention, which was held in Tampa, was attended by twenty-six members. This suc- cessful year was finalized with the annual banquet, that was held on May 17. 1.

A Club of Opportunity The 32 members of Student Council made an impressive start with school-wide elections for class and Student Council officers. Beginning with fund-raising projects, a bake sale was held after school to promote (the upcoming week of) Halloween. On the Friday before Halloween, a Halloween dress-up day contest was held for students and faculty. Three winners were selected and cash prizes were awarded. A successful Homecoming week was planned and faculty, staff, and students were encouraged to dress-up for Career Day, Rock Star Day, Inside-out Day, and Cowboy Spirit Day. Coronation for Homecoming was held on Monday, November 16, when Kelle Dearing was crowned Home- coming Queen and Cindy Swilley, Miss Senior. Representing Student Council were Ashley Hardee and Brian Kelley. A longer-than ever parade was directed by Mrs. Carolyn Ray, sponsor, and members of Student Council. To celebrate a victorious game, a dance was sponsored by Student Council and enjoyed by everyone. For the next fund-raiser, a Mr. Universe Contest was held. In the pageant, ten young men dressed as women and presented themselves to a roaring crowd. Over 800 canned goods were collected from the student body and faculty. Thaddeus Wright was crowned winner and Lucas Waring 1st runner-up. They were presented a ribbon, trophy and crown. The biggest fund-raiser of all was the concession stand at all home basketball games. Different food items were sold at each home game. This profit was used to help aid service projects for the school. Mrs. Carolyn Ray stated, This year has been a building year. We had only 6 members returning and recruited 26 new members. We have achieved our main goal for this year. The members of Student Council hope to become a bigger and better club for next year. Sheryl Glee 1.

The 84 member club tries to bring to light those events that are important to Black Americans and to keep its members aware of their heritage and their contributions to the Amer- ican Culture. During the month of February, Mr. Elliot and Mrs. Trotman assisted in putting together a Student Awareness Program to bring into the school local members of the community to talk to the students. The purpose of the program was to emphasize to the students what is expected of them in the future when they are seeking employment.

But the Cowboys had a different view of things. This young team of twenty-five freshmen and only five sophomores fought through what Coach Richard Richardson called an up and flown'' season. The Cowboys were victorious over Hamilton and Taylor to win their first two games. This changed a lot of minds. Unfortunately, the next three games weren't as successful. Had the magic run out? No! Tne Cowboys came out on top in their next two competitions to close the season with a 4-3 record. Combining this year's 4-3 record with last year's 6-0 record, the j-V Cowboys proved that they were capable of winning back to back. Tedrick Copeland (action shots. The Carrier) 1.

By living up to this commitment, the Cowboys worked their way to the best record in the history of Cowboy basketball. Although the 9-3 record was not outstanding, it was accompanied by many pos- itive things which should bring about a prosperous fu- ture for the Cowboys. Having eight returning players should not only produce a better, more experienced team next year, it should indicate that this year was indeed the beginning of a winning era. Tedrick Copeland 1.

Coach Lankford stated, I felt that after a slow start, the girls did an exceptional job as a team. Our only goal was to do better than last year and we achieved that goal. Coach Lankford also stated, Starting a new ).V. girls program, headed by Coach Braswell, has helped fill a void that we have had in the past. It is bound to make our program better in the years to come. Coach said that he plans for the upcoming team to run more, and that the girls coming from the ).V. program will step in and help out tremendously.

Coach Robin Braswell stated, It was a struggle for both the team and me. Even though the girls had a lack of experience, I was very proud of the progress they made; they really learned how to play team ball. Looking ahead to next year's team. Coach Braswell's strategy is to improve the self-confidence and interest of other students by getting them involved in the Crogram. She also anticipates the JV team will be better next year because they will e more experienced players with (hopefully) at least five or six returning girls.

Love means nothing in tennis, but Kelley, Amy, and Sybil prove that friendship does. 2. Amy Gibson, the only experienced player, contem- plates her strategy. 3. Amy becomes a most aggressive 4. Julie shows the form of a winning tennis player, challenger. 5. Kelley wears down her opponent with her backhand strokes. 116 Sports BOYS TENNIS The boys' tennis team, which was coached by Mrs. )an Bunting, consisted of only one returning player; however, the new members were quick to learn and, driven by determination, continuously tried their best. Although the team had a losing season, the members gained valuable experiences that will help them in the game of tennis. Dina Davis 2. Mike concentrates on winning the next point 1.

SPIRIT BOOSTERS This year's Varsity Cheerleaders squad gave outstanding support to the Cowboys during football season, as well as to the Varsity Cowboys and Cowgirls basketball teams. Although the cheerleaders did not attend camp this year, they had a lot of new ideas under the direction of sponsors Teresa Rutherford and Donna Coody, and even made M.C.H.S. history by participating in the very first basketball pep rally to be held here. The long hours of practice were worthwhile as the squad's boundless energy and school spirit helped cheer the Cowboys and Cowgirls through another year of winning seasons. Dina Davis Amy certainly has that Cowboy spirit.

Marching Band Sports 121 STUDENT LIFE Student Life 123 Love is Contagious After seeing the Senior play, viewers may tend to agree that love is certainly something not to be taken lightly in this hilarious comedy. The play is centered in New York City where Sally Winters (Ruth Ann Bibb) finds herself caught up in the hustle and bustle of the big city. Her brother Robbie (Richard Rooney) and Sam Haraway (Jay Johnson) think she is way over her head and should return to Kansas (where she belongs), but Sally has other things in mind. When Georgia (Debra Williams) was asked what was her favorite line, she remarked, Harry didn't want to be a dentist, so he quit. He couldn't bear the thought of spending his entire life looking into other people's mouths. When Mr. Christmas was asked why he preferred this particular play, he replied, The range of characterizations of real people from New York make the play exciting and the possibilities unlimited. The comic situations which deliver a message along with the fun. Overall, the play was a huge success. 1. “Daddy told me about women who drink champagne alone with a man in his apartment. 2. “That's not your bedroom — it's my studio. Mimi's not woman — she's a model. 3. “I guess you love some people in spite of themselves. 4. Tillie's no barmaid: She's got class. She sells brassieres at Mac s. 124 Student Life Cast members lulianne Andrews Miss Penniworth Felix Pryor Harry Turner Keith Gordon.........Bill Ketchen Richard Rooney Robbie Winters Jay Johnson Sam Haraway Kelly Yanossy . .

Student Life 125 Wipe 'em Out Cowboys The homecoming festivities left memories that will remain in the minds and hearts of many for a long time to come. The crowning of Kelley Dearing as Homecoming Queen at Coronation set the pace for homecoming week. Attendants to the queen who represented their classes were Miss Senior — Cindy Swilley, Miss junior — Diane Hubbard, Miss Sophomore — LaShell Thompkins, and Miss Freshman — Janet Terrill. Other activities also contributing to the spirit of Homecoming were dress-up days. Students and faculty wre encouraged to dress according to the theme of the day established by Student Council. Friday's Homecoming Parade was a crowd pleaser with participation from the outlying schools, community clubs, and organizations as well as the spirited representation of cowboy clubs. Highlighting the parade was the float com- petition with Freshmen, juniors, Seniors placing respectively 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Queen Kelley and her court captivated the crowd of fans as they were presented during the halftime events at Friday night's game. Also featured was the newly formed Alumni Band whose high stepping routine presented such familiar faces as our own Mrs. Lou Miller, Mrs. Jenny Andrews, and Ms. Tammy Weatherspoon. To end the thrilling week, the mighty Cowboys wiped out the Quincy Tigers with a score of 13 to 6. This game caused mixed emotions for the seniors since this was their last Homecoming they'd participate in. However, they had no time for sad thoughts — they were too busy enjoying the thrill of victory. by Keicha Mobley Jackie Curtis 1. Balloons Galore by the Silver Lariat staff became quite popular during the parade. 2. Education has certainly come a long way, but the message is still the same. 3.

Banquets, Banquets, and More Banquets Banquets are very plentiful during the springtime. These events generally indicate that the end of another school year is near. During this time, clubs and organizations would use these occasions as a means of recognizing both group and individual achievements. Beta Club, FFA, FHA, Band, Sports, and an Academic banquets were held and were also considered quite rewarding. Keicha L. Mobley 2.

Student Life 127 THE TEENAGE On March 4, the Drama classes, directed by Mr. Christmas, presented to the student body at MCHS The Teenage, a one act play by Molly G. Bass. The play presented a typical day in the lives of eight confused teenagers, with the usual concerns — school, parties, fear of unpopularity, football games, and the temptation to experiment, either with drugs, sex, alcohol, etc. The Teenage talks clearly to students who wonder if they are different from everybody else. The world is quite different through their eyes rather than through the eyes of adults. The excellent performance of the actors made the play most enjoyable. by Jackie Curtis (Photos, Donna McLeod) Dancing is such a pleasure???

On March 11, MCHS students as delegates representing countries around the world, went to Valdosta State College to attend the Model United Nations. While there, the delegates divided into five com- mittees which included Terrorism, Human Rights, Disarmament, Trade and Commerce, and Refugees. The duty of each committee was to come up with one resolution that was subsequently presented to the body to vote on. Felix Pryor, elected as rapporteur (secretary) during the afternoon session, read each resolution for the body to vote on. Sponsoring the group of delegates, Mr. Sargeant stated that he was highly impressed by the total commitment and involvement displayed by all of his students. by jackie Curtis (photos, Jennifer Johnson) lizabeth, Kim, and Eve are trying to come up with a resolution for Brazil (Brian) and Belgium (Renee) are in favor of this resolution, opulation control.

On the afternoon of May 6, ninety-eight seniors and their chaperons eagerly awaited the departure of their bus ride to that famous dreamland we all know as DIS- NEY WORLD. The buses arrived in time for the opening of the gates. Graduating seniors from schools throughout the state of Florida and a few other southern states attended this festive occasion. They rode many exciting rides and were entertained throughout the evening by the well known music groups Expose, Run D.M.C., Michael Bol- ton, Club Nouveau, and the Force M.D.'s. Finally, at 6:00 A.M. the next morning, all the ex- hausted seniors and their chaperons boarded the buses again and headed for Madison. Awakened by the noise of the buses coming to a halt, the seniors still tired and worn out, arrived at 9:00 A.M. to that little town we all call home. Richard Welsh 1. Who's BAD? 2.

I had to borrow this one. Comes the Dawn After a while you learn the subtle difference Between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning And company doesn't mean security, And you Degin to learn that kisses aren't contracts And presents aren't promises, And you begin to accept defeats With your head up ana your eyes open With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. And futures have a way of falling down in midflight. After a while you learn Than even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure ... That you really are strong. And you really do have worth. And you learn and learn ... With every goodbye you learn. Veronica A. Soffstall I wish you all your dawns to be learning ones and that you will find happiness and fulfillment in your life. Have high expectations of youself and go for it. We love you.

Browning 164 Advertisements To Ashley — One evening early this winter, as I was stand- ing behind our house looking toward the back field, I began thanking God for one of my life's dearest treasures — you! Words cannot express the joy that you have given me during the last eighteen years. You have always been so excited about life, de- pendable, adventuresome, and goal-oriented, even when our lives might have seemed to be teetering crazily between beauty and tragedy. Numerous times my “little girl has been an inspiration to her mother. Your non- complacency, determination to succeed — re- gardless of obstacles are certainly character- istics to be exemplified. Please remember that you will always carry with you my prayers and unconditional love.

Little things they do I'll say, ''Boy, I remember when Kelle did that. You were always so independent and determined that you could do anything. When you and Kim were small I couldn't imagine that time would fly by so fast. That was just yesterday, ana when I woke up today, it is now 18 years later. Where did the time go? Kelle, Cary and I both can't express in words how much we love you and are so very proud of you. You have always been mature enough to make your own decisions about things with- out letting your peers influence you. There were times when you felt so alone when your friends were doing things you didn't approve of, but you never put them down. You only had love and concern for them. I guess one of the reasons we are most proud of you is for your love of God. Some kids (and even adults) profess to be Christians but when they are with their friends they will use bad language or drink alcohol to be a part of the crowd; but they are not fooling anybody but themselves because actions always speak louder than words and your actions have always been why we are most proud of you. We will wake up tomorrow and you will be gone. In one way, it will be very saa, but just to know no matter where you go or what you decide to do with your life, that you will touch others with your love in so many ways that it gives us such joy and peace, and helps to make it easier to let you go. Love you always, Mama and Cary Advertisements 177 ROBYN HUGHEY Dear Robyn, We love you so very much! f M We're very proud of you. You have always striven to succeed.

We listened with much concern As your temper tried to flare — We tried to calm that stubborn streak. But give in, we didn't dare. We found the kitchen held no glitz, Each time you cooked, you threw a fit Boiling water was no threat, But toast and waffles were no sure bet. We hoped just once your clock would sing And get you up so early We reconciled that on time you could not be So we just prayed that Mr. Cazlay would not see. We watched with awe and so much pride As the band you led to stardom. We knew no matter what the price, You would never settle for bottom. Watching as you walked that aisle With cap and gown and tassles. We know your future will be so bright Free of academic hassles. As you and Leanne take separate roads and your lives go different directions, We hope your sisterhood will always be cherished As something so rare that words can not measure it.
