Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1988 volume:

GOLDEN BEAR—1988 Ifs party time! Let’s celebrate! Bring out the party hats, streamers, and balloons! Call all your friends; strike up the band—no, the Terror of the Pee Dee; let’s have a party!! What’s happening? What is there to celebrate? That’s easy—a new school year at Mayo High—a one-of- a-kind experience. Where else can you see your friends every day, go to “Bear” raising pep rallies, see exciting athletic competi- tions, and much, much more? No- where except Mayo. Students have lots to celebrate if only they’d think about it. For in- stance, we have a dedicated faculty and administration; we are lucky and deserving enough to get a thorough air conditioning system and a whole new wing added to the library build- ing. There is an atmosphere of friend- ship, caring, and learning thoughout our halls. People care about each oth- er; minds are expanded; friendships are made that will last a lifetime. These high school days will produce enough memories to last forever. So enter into the celebration! Don’t miss out on one of the best years of your life. Have fun—enjoy—take part—don’t be left out! Celebrate!!!! This yearbook first started as a celebration for Mayo’s 100th birthday. Unfortunately his- torians discovered we were two years too early. The staff put their heads together and came up with some quick changes only three days before deadline. After all, there is much to celebrate by being a Mayo student. TEACHERS CELEBRATE their first day back at school. 2 Opening BALLOONS FILL the air at Mayo’s outdoor assembly for the Constitution’s 200th birthday. YEARBOOK STAFF celebrates with a party of their own. Back in the groove ... Do you know how to get back into the Bear groove? The Bear groove was something that was very important to Mayo students. It took a while for the incoming freshmen to get into the groove. However, it didn’t take them long to adjust and make themselves a part of Mayo’s Bear Society. Mayo might be one of the oldest schools around, yet it was, and is, one of the best. Our students have much to celebrate; where else could one find such spirit and to- getherness? Mayo also had something else to celebrate. We finally became up-to-date with the instal- lation of air-conditioning units. Many were thrilled about this new project.

ALBERTINE WILLIAMS, Nacho Jeffery, Kevin Alford, Maurice Cole- man, and classmates get involved in the books. Opening 5 Mayo’s got style Fads and fashions have changed dramatically over the years. Our parents were styling in flair-legged pants, empire- waisted dresses, loud plaids, and minis. Today it’s stone-washed jeans, long skirts, suspender pants, and Reebok tennis shoes. All over campuses across the United States, students were coming up with new styles. This held true with Mayo stu- dents as well. It was apparent that they were interested in styles and putting their best foot forward. Mayo’s students were glamour- ous. It looked as if the guys be- came members of GQ maga- zine, and the girls looked like they were models for VOGUE. But whatever the fashion, Mayo students wore it well.

Mayo ... A place unlike any other Mayo High School was more than your typical high school. Our students were blessed with many unique and spe- cial talents. Sure, you could find stu- dents rushing to classes and studying in the library, but their enthusiasm, dedi- cation, and diversity made our school special. Because of this diverse mixture, Mayo was a great place to be. Students partici- pated in various activities concerning school. They showed their Bear spirit at pep rallies. Not only did they cheer for our great school, but they supported their classes with high-spirited chants. Students also took part in football games. If students weren’t playing foot- ball or marching with the band, they supported the Bears by cheering the team on. Academics also made Mayo a place unlike any other. Students seemed to en- joy the challenge that they had with oth- er students. They always strove for the very best. We, the students, never settled for less. Mayo was full of fun, excitement, and electricity. Mayo was definitely a place unlike any other. BRENDOLYN JETT, Daphne Jordna, Genevive Jeffery, Juliet Thomas, LaTanya Flynn, Nick Lunn, Sara Jeffery, Vertell Brown, Elaine Good- son, Derek Cooper, Elaine Sansbury, Bertrina Coe show their school spirit during lunch. 10 Student Life Caught in the act Mayo High was definitely a place unlike any other. Thanks to its stu- dents, which made the school year the success it was, Mayo was always full of things to do, and you could always find someone busy doing something. But that’s what made Mayo special! The students made the school. Be- cause of each unique talent of each individual student, Mayo High School was full of zest and spirit. Even if it was catching up on the lat- est gossip between classes or fixing a “boo-boo” in computer literacy, Mayo students made it fun. Just look at us! STEVIE DUBOSE is disturbed momentarily from his work while he poses for the camera. IONA AILES gives the photographer a star- tled look. WAKE UP! John Crowley is caught taking a “cat nap” in study hall. “UMM! THIS is good,” says Brendolyn Jett, Vertell Brown as they eat refreshments from the Family Life wedding. HOLD IT! Brian Hodges is “caught” by sur- prise as he walks out of the restroom. Student Life 13 Only the good times Mayo was definitely a place for only the good times. There were many events that made this so. First there was the celebra- tion of the two hundredth birth- day of the Constitution. There was an assembly celebrating the Constitution. Mary Deme- trious, a staff member from Congressman Robin Tallon’s office shared a telegram from Tallon to us. Our new superin- tendent, Robert Lewis, was also there to share this special event. The releasing of red, white, and blue helium balloons made the whole event a special one. Then there was the dedica- tion for our new wing. Over five hundred guests were invited for a short program, a tour of the school, and refreshments. Students also helped to make Mayo a place for only the good times. They showed lots of spirit at the games and pep rallies. Last, but not least, the teach- ers made most of this possible. They worked together so that we had this year of good times.

Student Life 15 Dedication To show our gratitude for your accom- plishments and service, we, the GOLDEN BEAR staff, dedicate the 1988 GOLDEN BEAR to you, Mr. Willie Boyd, Sr. Mr. Boyd has been on the Mayo staff for 20 years. He is a proud alumnus of Benedict College, SC State, the University of South Carolina, Florence-Darlington Tec, and Francis Marion College. Before Mr. Boyd joined Mayo’s staff, he was a research tech- nician for Newberry and Saluda counties and served with the US Army in Vietnam. When asked what he liked most about his job, he replied, “I enjoy working with the students, faculty, and community.” The GOLDEN BEAR staff feels that Mr. Boyd is very deserving of this dedica- tion. He is our principal as well as a friend. We will always be grateful to him for his support and guidance. For this, the 1988 GOLDEN BEAR is dedicated to you, Mr. Boyd, with much love and respect. MR. BOYD takes a break from his duties. 16 Dedication There's something exciting going on ... 4 AA Champs Being very cooperative, the Bears worked long and hard by putting in many hours at grueling practice Mon- day through Thursday. With good discipline at home and at school, the team made Coach Greene’s new year a little easier. The few excep- tions were handled by Saigon. Captain Tracey Russell and co-cap- tain Eric James carried the team with good attitudes and high spirit. The season opened as the Bears slipped by EC, 13-7. Even though Wil- son luckily escaped the Bears, that didn’t stop the team from winning the next 8 games and the 4 AA championship. FRED WILDS and Robert Stucks show good sportsmanship after the game.

The JV team worked impres- sively hard under the training of head coach, Jeffery Scott; assis- tant coach, Ron Harter; and vol- unteer coach, Daniel Greene. The team was relatively young and consisted of many 8th and 9th graders. The JV’s finished the year with a record of 1 win, 3 losses, and 2 ties. Their record did not indicate how hard the team worked, or the long hours of practice. JV TEAM: Lawrence Miles, Daniel Blathers, Lamong Jackson; 2nd Row: Mar- lon Samuel, Timothy Gurley, Eric Coe, De- tric Hudson; 3rd Row: Anthony Coker, Eric Jacobs, Tyrone Johnson, John McEl- veen, Jerome Williams, Jamie Coe, James Jett, Chris Fleming; 4th Row: Leland Bo- naparte, Anthony Wright, Adrian Johnson, Jarvard Hodges, Reggie Johnson, Alonza Flynn, David Hudson, Herbert Ross, Dar- rell Peterson.

They somehow bounced back with a win over St. John’s. The team worked long and hard to be success- ful, starting off the conference part of the season with Furman and finishing up with Lamar. Led by point guard Michael Barno and center Eric Coe, the J V team was very impressive and worked well as a team. MICHAEL BARNO sinks a free throw. THE JV BEARS: Back row—Reggie Johnson, Char- lie Taylor, Daniel Blathers, Eric Coe, Tremayne Gra- ham, Anthony Wright; Front row—Dedric Hudson, Alonza Flynn, Allen Jackson, Derrick Harrell, Michael Barno REGGIE JOHNSON hits the jumper over a St. John's defender. JV Basketball 23 down the court Movin' on The '87-‘88 basketball season started off a little slow. With hard work and sure confidence, the team steadily improved after the first few games. With the leadership of Leroy Jack- son and Tracey Russell, the team strived to work together and to be the best they could. Their efforts paid off when Mayo defeated Blenheim 64-61. Moving on with confidence, Timmonsville slipped in a victory, defeating the Bears 70-68. VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM: Row 1— Cisco Reed. Robert Sweet, Johnny Moses, Fred Cotton; Row 2—Timmy Jordan, Welton This encouraged them to strive for their best, and they succeeded when they beat Latta 60-58. The team put in long hours of hard practice. Coach Scott kept his faith and continued to push for excellence. With the Bears victory against Scott’s Branch, 67-51, the team made it a special night for Coach Scott, making it a 300th game victory for him. CISCO REED makes a high jump to block the Devils.

The girls started off the season losing to Timmonsville 32-83. They struggled but to no avail as Blenheim got away with a 51-30 victory. St. John’s (58-26) took the first game they played. Then again T'ville was too much for the girls, acquiring a 71 -32 victory. In the next encounter with St. John’s, our girls got by 51-50. It seemed that hope was ahead, but Blenheim stole the dream, beating the girls 54-27. The girls weren’t down for long, icing Latta 44-27. Once again, in their next encounter, the Lady Bears spanked Latta 46-26. The girls also took a bite out of Wallace, wounding them 47-38. To end the season, Furman lucked up by whipping the girls 66-19. MELINDA McELVEEN eagerly seeks relief. KENDRA TAYLOR and Sharon Robinson look for a pass. TEAM MEMBERS scramble for the ball and go for a victory at St. John’s. 26 Basketball We acknowledged Nicki Wright as being MVP.

The baseball team was an excellent exam- ple, having an 8-4 record. Under hard coaching by James Peterson, the team honored many outstanding players. Jerry Byrd was Most Valu- able Player; Fred Cotton was voted Rookie of the Year; Howard Yarbor- ough was the Most Improved Player. The softball team also put up a fight, having a 6-6 record. The track team showed their abilities and skills displaying a 14-6 record. The top scorers were Tyrone Sutton with 91 points, Eric James with 87 points, and Stephen Redden with 77 points. The tennis team volleyed their way to a 13-4 season. Quentin Goodson and Michael Bairefoot, two outstand- ing players, aced their way to the re- gional tennis match. We congratulate last year’s ath- letes for showing the competition “we ain’t no joke.” COY WASHINGTON sends an excellent re- turn. STEPHEN REDDEN shows off his strength in the shot put.

With much appreciation of the gift, the squad worked extra hard by putting in long hours of practice five days a week, making the year a good and successful one. In spite of a few rules, like no miss- ing school the day of the game and no chewing gum, the squad stayed in good spirits. Fundraising projects like selling pon-poms and ribbons made the pep rallies more exciting! The varsity cheerleaders thank the Seniors of the squad, Juliet Thomas and Tracy Turner, for their participation and hard work, and wish them much luck in their future plans.

People Helping People Not only did Mayo have a wonderful student body, but it was also blessed with a fantastic administrative staff. These people were rarely seen, but their work and dedication were felt by all. They were the people who helped make our school run effectively and smoothly. Without them, Mayo would not have been the same. Thanks a mil- lion! MRS. SCOTT thinks of how she’s going to get out of work. MRS. PETERS stops her work momentarily to pose for the camera. MR.

Most people thought that teach- ers just sat around 8 hours a day and gave orders to students. But that was not so at MHS. Many teachers were involved with the student body through extra-curricular activities. They stayed after school some days for hours helping students. They also spent extra time helping various clubs become more involved with benefi- cial projects. When we were out for the summer, teachers were often in their classrooms working, taking courses, or participating in workshops. To sum it up, we had a terrific faculty!

You can count on them People who are not seen are usually taken for granted. Not at Mayo! We appreciated the dedicated service of our custodians and dieticians. Their work exemplifies much care and preparation that is needed to contrib- ute to the well-being of our school. We have a hard-working custodial staff which painstakingly keeps the surroundings beautiful and sanitary. There is also our great dietary staff who makes sure that our meals are balanced and enjoyable. E. ZIMMERMAN, A. Pierce, J. Wright, R. McKay, P.

The average students went to school for approximately twelve years by the time they were seniors. Even though things hadn’t always been easy, they courageously faced their challenging final year. The year was so busy and exciting, they didn’t realize where all the time went. Being a senior brought on nu- merous responsibilities such as doing school-work, taking college admis- sions tests, participating in extra- curricular activities, working part- time jobs, and doing household chores. Let’s not forget the enormous amounts of money the seniors had to spend. Just to name a few expenses, there were senior supplies, special wardrobes, field trips, club dues, sav- ings accounts, and other personal bills. All of the trials during the year were well worth it. The dedicated class of 1988 was convinced of that when they recieved their diplomas! Seniors 43 Seniors at Work Many seniors at Mayo had good part-time jobs after school and on weekends. As these seniors realized, there were many good and bad as- pects in having a job. First, the bad part. With a job after school, there was no time for parties or prolonged recreation. Many sen- iors enjoyed the company of their peers, but when there were extra ac- tivities, their jobs were first. There was not much free time for relaxation either. Study time was also decreased greatly. The good part was that the seniors enjoyed a constructive environment and would be staying out of trouble. The work provided hands-on exper- ience that would prove useful when looking for a full-time job after graduation. Oh, the money came in handy too! JERRY BYRD and Charlotte Sawyer display the loving attitude prevalent at Mayo. ELAINE SANSBURY, Derek Cooper, joke around during lunch. GENEVIVE JEFFERY displays some of her school spirit.

Juliet Thomas—“During a pep ral- ly when the cheerleaders were being introduced, I ran out full of cheer at- tempting to do a cartwheel, only to fall on my head, not my feet.” Jocelin Thomas—“One day my mother told me to go to the grocery store for some milk. 1 saw a crowd of people heading for the store, and I didn’t want to wait in line. I ran hast- ily for the door and tried with all my strength to open the door, but it wouldn’t open. I looked up and read ’Exit only.’ I could see some children behind me snickering.” Tracey Russell—“At the second half of a basketball game, I caught a rebound and ran the length of the court for a layup. Everyone began laughing, and the coach benched me. He asked, ‘Are you all right? You just shot in the wrong goal.’” RAMONA BAKER eavesdrops on Dcdra Williams’s conversation.

During our high school years, we all found out what it meant to have a friend and to be a friend. We didn't necessarily have to be part of a clique. It meant just as much to have one close friend. Our friends were a vital part of our lives since we spent most of our time at school with them. A true friend was one whom we could talk to freely and just be ourselves, without being judged. At some of our lowest times, our friends were there and cheered us up. Many times we just needed help getting our- selves together and, at times, we couldn't have made it without their support. MR.

Junior Thoughts When juniors were asked what they thought was the most impor- tant thing about being a junior during high school, there were var- ious responses: Yolanda Cannon: “Looking for- ward to the future.” Coy Washington: “We are togeth- er and organized.” Ingell Muldrow: “Looking for- ward to my first year at the prom.” Sharetta Pauley: “Being able to escape the exit exam.” Tarsha Jett Steven Jones Timothy Jordan Audrey Kelly Marvin Kennedy Rita Larkins Robert Lee Robert Lighty Michael Lloyd Brenda Louis Pam Love Adrian Mack Reginald McCall Michael McDaniel Felicia Mitchell Mindy Moran Juniors 57 Johnny Moses Tracey Mouzon Ingell Muldrow John Muldrow Crystal Nettles Robert Newton Tammy Nolan Sharctta Pauley Josh Pearson Veronica Rakestraw Cisco Reed Tony Robinson Anthony Samuel Marcieola Samuel Eddie Simmons Felicia Simms Prize on a finger Class rings had meaning be- hind them. Most high school ju- niors looked forward to receiv- ing their class rings. Everyone got excited and carried away. The rings showed that you had the ability to go to school and had almost reached the end of your high school education. AT THE Kick-Off Classic, Sharetta Pau- ley and Theresa Arthur decide where to sit. 58 Juniors COY WASHINGTON and Angela Hudson say, “Wait a minute; we’re not ready!” Computer Talk You walked into a room and looked around at all the people. Slowly your mind be- gan to wonder about the var- ious sounds that reached your ears. You looked around the classroom at all the recogniz- able faces. Then you noticed the computer in the corner; TAMMY NOLAN is excited about getting her class ring. you sat down and began to play. Computers had become a great part of our society. Ev- erywhere you looked, there was someone with a comput- er. Computers were not only used for business, but for fun and games also.

The New Style The new style was so popular in the North that it started coming down South. The style showed it- self in occasional heavy gold jewel- ry, faded jeans, and in music. Punkers were rebellious and vio- lent, but the New Style was just fashion and music. When asked what kind of clothes they thought were associat- ed with the New Style, people re- plied, “Acid jeans, Reeboks, heavy sweaters and suspenders.” Juniors also thought that Freddy Jackson, Salt Pepa, Giorgio, The Barkays, Run DMC, Anita Baker, and Eric B Rakim played New Style music. Some juniors felt indifferent about the New Style and thought it was outrageous. Most juniors, though, thought that it was a dy- namic change. JOHN CROWLEY and Tammy Nolan get excited over the Bears’ victory. WILLIE BOYD is an organized student. 60 Juniors Almost There It had been said that one of your most exciting years in high school was your sophomore year. Those who were sopho- mores would probably agree. The sophomore class was very out- standing. They showed lots of dignity and spirit at pep rallies and games. Being a sophomore was a lot of re- sponsibility. Sophomores were at the point in their lives where they had to begin making some important decisons about their futures. What college should they choose? Should they go into the Armed Forces? A variety of people in the sophomore class had wonderful and bright futures ahead of them.

Some think a winner is a person who can get good out of anything, even when something bad happens. A winner is also thought to be someone who has reached his goals and achievements without becoming conceited or feeling that he should not go on to higher goals. These characteristics combined make a winner! FRESHMEN CELEBRATE algebra. FRESHMEN CLASS officers: Vice-presi- dent. Kendra Taylor; Asst. Secretary, Nacho Jeffery; Secretary. Vernecia Cotton.

We heard many things through the grapevine, es- pecially GOSSIP. Gossiping was a good way of spreading news. More often than we liked to think, gos- siping really hurt people’s feelings or damaged their egos. There’s an old saying, “Good news travels fast.” Not many peo- ple realized that that also went for bad news. A lot of the time, people said things they didn’t mean, and someone told it in a different way. When this happened, it hurt feel- ings all around. Gossip is damaging in many ways. Before you begin to gossip with a friend about someone, ask yourself if you would want the same thing said about you. TAMEKA HOLMES shows off her new dress.

Everyone was filled with pep, and the spirit of Homecoming filled the air. There was an exciting parade with 74 beautiful units. Friday night was the focal point and brought all of the festivities to an end. The crowning of Miss Homecom- ing was one of the most exciting events which brought forth a beauti- ful queen. There were ten girls vying for the title of Miss Homecoming. Only one could prevail; that special girl was Elizabeth Elaine Goodson. The football team gave their best effort and provided us with a great victory over the Bishopville Dragons. We tumbled over the Dragons with a dynamic score of 27-16.

The Junior Reserves Officers Training Corps was not only a class, but it was somewhat of a club also. It had a purpose—to teach good leadership—and served a purpose— to give an individual an identity of self and a sense of belonging to a club. Also JROTC had other benefits. It gave its members an opportunity to go to college by way of an ROTC schol- arship and made them eligible for higher rank when going into the armed services. Be a part of the tradition. Join the JROTC! JROTC 87 We've got what it takes Proving that they’ve got what it took to be tomorrow’s leaders, the members of the Army JROTC showed their stuff. Consisting of over 30% of the M HS student body, the members started early in the year to establish them- selves as a battalion and a good one. Established since 1978, the unit be- came an honor unit in 1981. Known for their green uniforms and shiny shoes, the MHS JROTC had earned the respect they rightly deserved.

Ed-Op is a day in which representatives from state colleges, universities, and technical schools come together in order for students to get the oppor- tunity to get information about the dfferent schools in our state and North Carolina. Students get a change to talk to the representa- tives or read the information they have available. This year, Ed-Op Day was held on November 9 during the third period. All seniors, a few select ju- niors, and students from Tim- monsville High School were invit- ed to take part. Not only were col- lege representatives there, but so were representatives from the Army, Navy, and Marines. It was a valuable experience that helped many students take an interest in college and become aware of different opportunities which they might have otherwise overlooked.

It was bound to happen. Another year had come and gone. Time for the “Bear” party to end. It was a great year for MHS. It was hard but worth the effort. Now it's time to pack up the books and let them catch the dust until the next school year. It’s time to stop the music. The party's winding down to its last days. The Bears were happy about this for a rest was needed. Some good things happened over this year’s celebration. We got a canteen in the lobby of the gym, a new gym floor, a mural on the back wall of the gym, and most of all, air-conditioning. We congratulate the graduating Seniors and wish everyone a glorious, happy sum- mer. DEXTER CANNON smiles as he leaves Mayo High. JOSHUA PEARSON, Willie Boyd, and Miss Good- win say farewell for this year. 9
