Class rivalry dominated the school year. The Senior class knew that it was the best and proved it by out-yelling the other classes at pep rallies. Mr. LeRoy Williams’ Junior home- room was really “on the ball’, and won both the United Way Drive and the Thanksgiving canned food drive. This sparked an intense ri- valry with Mrs. Susan Yearby’s Senior home- room. The freshman and Sophomore classes elect- ed officers and began to develop their own identities under the leadership of class spon- sors Mrs. Sheryl Russell and Mrs. Marcella McNeil. , 28 People Divider The yearbook staff sponsored a lottery to determine whose pictures would appear on this divider page. The winners were chosen by class level. Above: Freshman Kim West studied intently for her English class. Seniors Saundra Davis and Ivory Scales paused while researching for their government class. Sophomores Amy Allison and Kim Hartman appeared ready for the day’s assignments as they entered school. The Field House was filled during the Homecoming Assembly. Right: The halls were filled with hurrying students during class change. Juniors Scott Spradlin and Dedria Bazemore found the card file most helpful for term paper re- search.

Summer Travels ... On The Continent It was expensive to “reach out and touch someone”, espe- cially when calling from London. Tina Black (from Nor- com), Johanna Thornton, Lisa Belton, and Mrs. Judy Moore, chaperone, examined a British pay phone. A grand tour of England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Aus- tria, and Germany provided sev- eral students with a first-hand op- portunity to see many of the towns and works of art which they had studied in their World Histo- ry class. The group toured the countries listed in twenty-one days. The pace was a fast one, necessary in order to see as much as possible. Stops included: St. Paul’s Cathe- dral in London; Notre Dame and the Palace of Versailles in Paris; the Forum and the Colosseum in Rome; and the Swiss Alps. As typical tourists, Mrs. Moore and her group rode in Venetian gondolas, watched the changing of the guard at Buckingham Pal- ace, and, of course, rode up the elevator in the Eiffel Tower. The trip went well, and except for Johanna Thornton’s lost pass- port (which took four hours to re- place) and some very hot weather, there were no disasters. “The trip was a great success, and I would like to do it again,” said Mrs. Moore. Above: The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous landmarks in Paris. A trip to the second level gave a view of over fifty miles. Left: The majestic Swiss Alps dwarfed the villages below. Their peaks stayed snow- capped year round. Bottom Left: Mrs. Moore and Johanna Thornton rested in Rome. Below: The Arc De Triomph made an impressive shape against a Paris sky. Built in 1806 by Napo- leon, it sits today in the middle of a busy traffic circle.
