Gaynell Woodard Valere Woodard Bliss Woods Jeff Woods Tim Woodward 238 Musician Extrordinare As many people know, McGavock is filled with many talented people, one of these being Senior David Gaines. Not only does he play the piano with expertise, but he also has a voice to match Sinatra, a pair of feet to match Astaire, and the ability to play a wide variety of musical instruments. David started showing his musical abili- ty at a very young age. Around six, he began his musical career by learning to play the piano. He has continued to in- crease his musical abilities up to now, and we hope he will continue to do so in the future. Most people have said “they’ve heard it all before’? about people with abilities such as David’s, but there seems to be one other special thing about him as a person, not a musician. People are always complaining about the fact that ‘‘so and so,” who is “‘so good at this,’ or ‘‘so good at that,’”’ has such a “fat head!’’ Well, most people who talk to David, seem to agree on one thing, David is a very modest person. Although he is good at what he does, and people have told him so, he only seems con- cerned about doing what he feels is his best, and pleasing the crowd. All in all, what this writer is trying to say, is that there isn’t a conceited bone in his body. David is easy-going, full of life and per- sonality, and a trusted friend to many people. These are just a few of the many fine qualities that David displays. If you have never met David Gaines, you have missed the opportunity of knowing not only a musician extrordin- are, buta PERSON EXTRORDINARE!!

Ful Darrell Taylor How do you feel about having the freshmen at McGavock? I’m comfortable. The only drawback is a shorter lunch hour — no real loss. If you had the oportunity to change one thing about McGavock, what would it be and why? The quality of the food served. It’s ridiculous that stu- dents must weed through their food to find something edible. What impresses you the most about McGavock? Its curriculum. McGavock has size enough to accomodate large number of people and still allows for everyone a chance to participate.

Dawn Wright Scott Yancey Jeff Young Nicholas Riggins Has the size of the school taken away or added to the level of educa- tion obtained here at McGavock? I feel the size of the school has added to my education because it provided a vast choice of classes to be taken. In a place of so many names and faces, | hoped I have left my educators with some fond remembrance, for I have learned many lessons in these halls. The educa- tors | have had have made impressions upon me that will last as long as I will, people that I feel I have had true bonds with that shall last long in my life. Some can make you feel, and some can make you think, but those that make you really look at yourself as you are, are your true teachers. Danny Worrell Se
