The student body became involved in various activities in order to become adjusted to the school routine once again. Despite the monotonous routine of school days, students continued to sail forth on their voyage through the 1980-81 school year. Bell schedules, locker combinations, and lec- tures combined to make the students’ day somewhat less exciting than after-school activities. 1. Could it be the flu virus that has got- ten Jeff Barnett down? No, it’s his anticipation of Sr. Comp, class. 2. Daphine Goodlett daydreams about fun things in the middle of history class. 3. Terry Dixon finds enjoyment by reading materials other than those in his boring textbook. 4. After the bell rings, students crowd the halls between classes. 5. Too many books, too much junk, and not enough space to store it bewilders Diane Casey. When the students at MCHS realized the importance of their voyage, they looked forward to the challenges that each day bestowed upon them.

Vocational School is a large part of high school life. While attending the school the student learns by experiencing. For example, members of the Health Careers class work part time in local hospitals and rest homes to gain the experience needed for a future in health occupations. The Carpentry class and Electricity class combine their efforts to build and wire a home which they sell. The Business classes teach everything the good secretary should know. After learning the basics, the Auto Mechanics and Welding classes put their knowledge to use by working for the public. After a one or two year course at the Vocational School, students receive the training they need for a future occupation. 14 Mr. Chilton and Keith Huffman watch as Leo Kelly carves a plaque in Carpentry class. Scotty Baker listens intently as Mr. Knickerbocker explains a concept of electricity. As Mr. Armstrong supervises, William Darland and Brent Sallee work on an engine in Auto Mechanics class. Mr. Weatherford gives Dwight Yankey assistance in mig welding. Mr. Hendren, Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Sutter teach Business courses at the Vocational School. Mrs. Sims helps Yvonne Smith and Debra Sexton review for a Health Careers test. Typing is just one of the many skills Mignon Johnson does while being secretary of the Vocational School. Keeping the Vocational School clean and litter free is Mr. Sanders' job as custodian. The principal of the Vocation School is Hughes Jones. 15 Teachers Are People, Too! Some people tend to think teachers live in the classroom. Well, that’s not true. Like students, they have a life outside the classroom as well as inside. They have hobbies which they enjoy as well as many places they like to go. Because of the work, teachers’ private lives are sometimes cut short, but they don’t seem to mind. Teaching others seems to be a main priority in their lives. However, teachers are just like anyone else; they have a home life plus a career. They have those special moments and special people just as we do. 16 Penny Berger Martha Birdwhiatell Amos Black Yvonne Bolton Jr. High Sp. Ed. 7th Math 8th Soc.

For example, the majority of teachers agree that paper work was the worst thing about teaching school. The advantages of teaching school range from seeing the students experience success to having the months of June and July free. Most teachers think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Larry French Drivers Ed. 19 1. By participating in the Salvisa Volunteer Fire Department. Mr. Fallis can help others in their time of need. 2. During her spare time at school.

Julie Lister English 1 and 3 8 Math Reading Scanning the Horizon IBflSr Everyone has the desire to achieve, even teachers. Teachers excel in many different ways. One teacher said she feels great achievement when a student understands a difficult problem. Other teachers have families plus a career. The ability to manage both is a very large personal achievement. Some of our teachers play the role of the hard working student by attending college to gain advanced degrees. Many of our teachers experience spiritual fullfillment by sing- ing in the church choir or teaching a Sunday School class. Teachers are great achievers because they are always looking toward new horizons and establishing new goals for themselves. What Spare Time? Teachers spend so much of their time doing things pertaining to their jobs that they don’t have much time for themselves. They are always making out tests, grading papers, recording grades and other monotonous tasks. Although such tasks are tedious and time-consuming, these things go along with their work and they take them in stride. When teachers do have some spare time, like everyone else, they take advantage of it and do the things they enjoy. 22 Rita McGlone Typing 1 and 2 Bus.

Most teachers like to add a little variety to the subjects they teach by doing things other than bookwork. There are many things to do to make learning more exciting such as taking field trips, going outdoors and also play- ing games pertaining to a subject. School can be fun plus educational if everyone tries to add a little spice. 1. When the weather permits Miss Lerow enjoys taking her gym classes outside to play various games. 2. Mr. McReynolds and Sharon Devine inspect one of the many insects they found when their science class went out- side to work on their insect collections. 3.

Herman Miller demonstrates his expertise playing the recorder as Miss Bolton sings a French song. Calling the Ship's Doctor First aid instructors from Lexington presented a very educational and enjoyable inservice program for teachers on January 22 and 23. For two days teachers reversed their traditional roles and became students as they read material from a first aid workbook, answered questions, watched filmed demonstrations, and practic- ed techniques of first aid on each other. Some of the topics covered were mouth to mouth breathing, obstructed airways, bandaging, splints, and emergency rescue. At the end of the second day the teachers took a fifty question multiple choice test over the skills and concepts they learned.

Her mother helped her to learn about ceramics because they have their own kiln in the basement. Dana has made flower pots, eggs, clowns, vases, napkin holders, and spoon holders. She likes to make ceramics because it is dif- ferent, takes time, and can be done any time of the year. Dana says, “Ceramics are great gifts because they are cheaper to make than to buy ready made.” 36 A Matchless Collection Brad Sanford takes pleasure in collecting matchbooks because they can be found almost anywhere and they are inexpen- sive. He has been collecting mat- chbooks for a year and an half and has approximately 300 mat- chbooks. Brad says, “I have found some matchbooks as far away as Michigan, Oklahoma, and Florida and some as old as 1954. They may not be worth much now, but someday in the future they may be.

They have been used to easy and fun times. This will change when they enter the 9th grade. They will still have fun times, but they will have to work hard to succeed in what they want to do or become. One of the most joyful times of an 8th grader is when he graduates from the 8th grade. He feels that he has accomplished eight years of difficult work. The good things of life are just beginning for an 8th grader. 40 1.

They have already endured the pains of just starting out in high school and being the so-called ‘green’’ freshmen. Yet there is much to look for- ward to in their Junior and Senior years like prom, class rings, Senior trips and graduation. As for now, the days are filled with good times and laughs shared with friends. These memories will last throughout their voyage as they keep searching for the horizon. 56 1.

Juniors are now upperclassmen, but they are not yet faced with all of the decisions of Seniors. Their year is highlighted by Powderpuff, the buying of class rings and the prom. Junior days are made even more enjoyable by the simple everyday sharing with friends. The class of '82 enjoyed a year of fun and smooth sailing. 63 Seniors Explore New Shores The class of '81 was a class for firsts. They were the first class in over ten years to take a senior trip. The seniors worked ever since they were freshmen to make money to spend the weekend in Gatlinburg. For e while, things looked doubtful for them. First of all, they had to get it passed by the board. Wher unbelievably they got through that, they realized they were short some money. Seniors went to work onc more. Every morning before school, they could be seen peddling donuts. Finally, they were on their way Everyone had a wonderful time and the only problem was it just wasn’t long enough. However, onthe wa) back, there was another complication — a bus broke down! All sixty people had to load on one bus — lug gage and all. Everyone agreed, though, that it was worth the effort. Seniors would like to offer a specia thanks to the board, senior sponsors, and of course, Mr. Gash. 64 1. Is this Joe Cool? No — it's Mr. Gash, relaxing on the senior trip! 2.

Since their Sophomore year, seniors have sponsored their various ac- tivities by selling grapefruits and oranges. Class president Rebecca Dean and sponsor Mr. Phelps wonder if they will ever see the end. However, the profits make all efforts worthwhile. •A Lorita Walker Mark Watts Mike Webb Toni Whalen Patricia Whitenack Rachel Whitenack Not Pictured: Steve Coffman Paul Collier Donna Curtis James Mattingly Lee Wilson Dwight Yankey Gary Yeager CLASS OF'81 I've always wanted the time to be here, When at last it was my Senior year. I said, “I’ll be so brave, you see, No one will be as great as me. I'll look at the freshmen as I walk down the hall, And feel so important and — very tall.” I thought I'd be the king of the school. But I know now, I was just a fool. Now I’m a Senior and I look at those days, And all of my foolish childhood ways. I wished my school years away so fast, Now they’re gone and I want them to last. Each year that went by I would want one more year. But the thought of that brings sorrow and fear. There are no more school years to wish for now If there were a way I would do it somehow. I would wish for the years that I wished would pass on, But those years aren’t here — They are forever gone. They have turned into nothing but memories for me, But those memories are just what I wanted them to be They are the memories of friends, laughter and fun; They are the memories of the class of '81. 77 Ellen Ray Richards Abandon Ship! What is a Senior? Is a Senior someone special or is he just a confused and frightened person about to have his chance at the world and not quite ready for it? Whatever a Senior may be, he takes time to laugh and enjoy his last year as a carefree person. A Senior is the remnant of the past and the bright and hopeful spark of the future. 1.

Debra Sexton proved that Powder Puff is not as soft as its name! 79 The Ship's Finest Mr. and Miss Mercer 1981, are two ambitious achievers. Sonny Johnstone and Linda Schroeder have been active in and out of high school. Linda has been a cheerleader for four years and plans to try out for cheerleader at U.K. She is interested in psychology as a major because she “likes to find out what people are really feeling. Linda's biggest achievement so far is obtaining the title of Miss Mercer County Fair 1980. Linda feels that the most important part of success is “to never let it change my at- titude towards other people.” Also very active, Sonny has participated in foot- ball, baseball, basketball, and tennis. Sonny plans to attend U.K. and major in accounting. Sonny has set high goals for himself. His idea of success is: To always be the best I possibly can. Then I will be satisfied.” Friends agree that shining personality will carry him as far as he wants to go. 80 Most Creative In a day and age when most people conform to the same old routine, being creative is important. Angela Johnson and Jim Lockwood are the two most creative people in the senior class. Angela's gifted imagination and many talents have made her an im- portant asset in both drama and art. Much of the art- work in the annual was done by her. Jim also has much ability in art and has contributed much the past four years. Jim feels it is very important to be unique and have his own way of doing things. Both Angela and Jim have bright futures with their creative talents. Most Dependable Most Talented Everyone needs someone to depend on and everyone depends on Mark Bugg and Janie Neal. Janie plans to attend Eastern this fall to major in public relations. Janie’s friendly per- sonality will suit her for any job. Mark will attend U.K. this fall. He is also known for his outgoing personality and will be accepted in whatever field he chooses. Janie and Mark have much potential to be successful. To be considered most talented, one must be gifted in more than one area. Robbie Green and Pat Jones prove this. Pat has been an active chorus member for four years and has used her talent to sing at ballgames, school events and weddings. However, she has also been an asset to drama. Pat attended several speech tournaments and placed eighth in the state. Robbie has worked hard in band for four years. His favorite pastime is riding motorcycles. This will be useful to him in the career of law enforcement. 81 Best Looking Though the title of best looking is obvious, Leesa Newby and Leo Kelly show it off to perfection. Leesa has been a cheerleader all four years, captain of the team two of those years. Leesa will major in phys-ed. at Eastern. Leo knows keeping in shape is important, so he works very hard in sports. He was named most valuable player on the basketball team. Most Athletic Cheryl Murphy and Todd Anderson have dedicated most of their high school years to sports. Cheryl has been involved in cheerleading, track, and girls’ basketball. Along with her school activities, Cheryl has par- ticipated in horse shows. Todd has been an asset to the football team all of his high school years. Also, he has won various honors in track. Todd will major in pre-law at Centre this fall. Most Likely To Succeed Terrie Logue and Jeff Pinkston both deserve this honor. Terrie received the Award of Excellence from Eastern University. She plans to be an X-Ray technician and will train at St. Joseph’s hospital. Jeff has also received honors such as at- tending Boys’ State. Jeff will major in business at U.K. Most School Spirit Pep and enthusiasm are two things Ellen Richards and Dale Hamlin never seem to lack. Ellen has been a cheerleader for four years, urging the Scotties to victory with her beautiful smile. Ellen’s dedication will take her far in whatever field she should choose. Dale has been the manager of the boys’ basketball team. Although he has not participated in any sports, he can always be found cheering on the sidelines. 82 Best Dressed To be best dressed does not necessarily mean to wear the latest fashion; it means to make the most of what one does have. Denise Vaught and Monty McCray always look neat and well kept. Denise feels that to feel good and to have self-confidence, one must also look good. Denise plans to go into photography. Her talent in this field will carry her far. Monty has worked hard on the baseball and basketball teams. Because of his many activities, Monty's favorite fashion is bluejeans. Best Sense of Humor Teacher’s Pest The ability to make people laugh is indeed a gift, one which Debra Sexton and Gary Yeager have. Debra’s warm laugh can definitely chase away the blues. She plans to be an X-ray techni- cian, and her bedside manner will make for many smiling patients. Gary's future plans in- clude being an auto mechanic. Gary has the special ability to be able to take a joke as well as play one. Debra and Gary's sense of humor will never let them lack friends. There is an art to being a pleasant pest. Jennifer Coulter and Chuck Cash have mastered it. Their playful antics have brought reluctant smiles to many teachers’ faces. Jennifer is always ready for a laugh. She hopes to go into modeling. Chuck vents much of his energy in music. He plans to go to California to pursue a musical career. Wherever they might go, both Jennifer and Chuck will be remembered with smiles. 83 1. 2. 3. 4 HDIt caWN Dock 1: Homecoming «1«’ 4 ' f The Seniors produce the winning hall in the Homecoming decoration contest.

The team ended the season with a 5-6 record. The Scotties’ losses, however, came at the hands of some pretty tough opponents, such as Lincoln Co., Boyle Co., and Beiea. Two losses also came after the opponent scored in the last few minutes of the game to Considering secure a win. The Scotties would have ended up with a 6-5 record had the cross-town rival Har- rodsburg Pioneers not scored a touchdown with less than two minutes remaining in the game. Mercer’s hopes of a win over Harrodsburg were destroyed after the Pioneers managed to scratch out a 13-12 win. This game showed how tough and determined the 1980 Scottie Football Team was. Even though they didn’t nave a winning season, the Scotties had a reason to be proud. 5. Cheerleader Lori Miller chants, “We (Mercer County) are the best.’’ 6.

Who will lead the Scotties to victory in the future? These questions are being answered by the Mercer Junior High football League. The league consists of two teams: the Cowboys and the Colts. The Colts boasted an undefeated record against the hardfighting Cowboys with scores of 18-0 and 6-0. The teams also united to play against other schools during the season. They did not fare well in these contests. Even though the Junior League did not defeat any other schools, the players have gained the experience needed to do their share in building tomorrow’s team. They gave their time and skills in order that some- day they might play a worthy role on the Scottie team. 2 1.

Cross-Country. Inexperience and the scarce supply of runners plagued the team throughout the season. Despite these handicaps, the runners were well respected by all competitors. Early in the season Lance Darland, the only Senior team member, placed first in a meet at Anderson County. The girls' varsity took second place in this same meet against a field of six teams. On- ly a week later eighth grader Keith Ransdell finished second in a J.V. meet. By this time the runners were beginning to realize that their rigorous train- ing reaped worthy results. In an Anderson County meet involv- ing eight schools, Lance again defeated all opponents, Susan Parrott placed tenth in the girls’ 1. Jeff Koch is informed by region organizer Joe Judy that he is ineligi- ble to run, therefore disqualifying the team from competition. This con- troversial move forced Mercer to relinquish their first place trophy. competition to lead the team to another second place. The last meet of the regular season was the Lexington Catholic Invita- tional. Despite the hilly course and the approximated two hun- dred and fifty runners, Lance placed a respectable nine- teenth. Dean Darland and Jeff Koch placed in the upper third of all the finishers. At the CKC meet Lance received a trophy for his second place effort. Dean’s finish of twenty-sixth won him a medal. Jeff Koch and Jim Lockwood also finished well in the varsity competition. In the J.V. competition the Mercer girls came in second. As in- dividuals, Susan Parrott took second. The Regional meet at Harrison County proved heart- breaking. Mercer was dis- qualified from their first place victory. The girls’ team took third at the meet. At the State meet a week later Lance placed eleventh against the best run- ners in Kentucky. The schedule was tough for the first year team, but they never gave up. Pulled muscles and broken hearts only caused the team to continue to “strive for the mark.” 2. Tanya Keys, Marsha Darland, and Denise Connelly spend a few minutes warming up before the race. 3.

Cross-Country gives young, talented kids a goal to strive for. It gives them the experience they need to become competitive. — Lance Darland That's the Way the Ball Bounces 3 The 1980-81 Boys’ Varsity Basketball Team finish- ed the season with a disappointing 10-19 record. Despite their lack of consistency in regular season play, the Scotties fared well in tournament play. In the annual Fort Harrod Classic, Mercer was the runner-up to a strong Madison Central team. After beating Jessamine County in overtime in the first round of the district, Mercer fell to Harrodsburg, but received the runner-up trophy. This advanced the team to Regional play once again. Although Mercer lost to Frankfort in the first round, they made a good showing and had every reason to be proud of their efforts. 98 When we all pulled fogelher af fhe end of ihe season, we played well and showed whaf kind of feam we really were.''

Lose a Few The boys’ Junior Varsity team did not fare as well as many had hoped. Despite their record, much was ac- complished. The experience and skills needed to excel as a varsity squad member can only be gained from time spent on the J.V. team. Daily the boys put forth an effort to build themselves for their future posi- tions on the varsity squad. The Freshman team had a very im- pressive season. Only three teams were able to emerge victorious after playing the powerful freshmen. The young team started the season out right with a streak of five wins. The next few games proved trying but not fatal. By the end of the season the freshman team showed great pride in their impressive 9-4 record. 102 1. 2. 3.

The record did not and could not truly symbolize the dedication of the young team. Only the players and the coaches knew of the real strug- gles experienced in long practices trying to build a respectable team. Unlike past years the team was not able to boast the abilities of numerous seniors. Lone senior Cheryl Mur- phy provided the enthusiasm and experience that the squad needed. Junior Kellie Flora also added much as the leading scorer with a total of 391 points to give her an average of over 16 points a game. Of course the efforts of the coaches cannot be overlooked. Mrs. Davis and Miss Lerow showed great patience and hope for the talented youth. Hours were spent designing plays that would utilize the abilities of every player. Throughout the season, the girls did manage to learn the true meaning of team work. They learned that the secret to real success is being able to work with others in an effort to achieve a common goal. The squad never lacked in unity whether on the court or in the school hallways. This was the real victory. 1. Beth Johnson waits until just the right moment to take her shot against Lexington Catholic. 2-5.

Cheer Crazy The 1980-1981 Varsity Cheerleading Squad was an ex- perienced one boasting four seniors and three juniors. Nevertheless, the girls still practiced for many long hours and worked harder and harder on their cheers to get them right. The experience, hard work, and effort all paid off as the squad received the runner-up trophy in district cheerleading competition and also received several good ratings in other competitions. Cheerleading sponsor Karen Smith helped the girls learn their cheers and improve their techniques while building their characters and giving them confidence. 2 3 4 1.

The team worked hard under the supervision of Coach Larry French, and as a result of their long hours of practice, the squad won three matches and finished tenth in the region. 1 2 1.

The team was built on a foundation of hard work and rewarding goals. Most of the senior team members had been on the team during all their high school years. In the end it paid off. Nancy Fain took fourth place at the regionals in the 110 meter high hurdles. In the high jump, Leesa Newby placed a se- cond. Leesa also holds the school record in this event. Susan Parrott placed third in the 1600m. In the 800m run, Robin Martin placed third. Lynn Pombles placed third in the 110m high hurdles. All of the girls train- ed daily so that they might reach their goals. It was worth it. 116 That Little Something Extra I Girls’Track Harrodsburg 2nd i Model 1st Frankfortiji 1st Paris £ |||| i 1st Jessamine 1st 1 Harrodsburg 2nd } Jessamine 1st 1 C.K.C. 13th i Lz_ 4th 4.

As a senior, I felt that I had to encourage the younger runners to never give up. — Nancy Fain Keeping the Pace The boys’ track team was again able to make a name for itself. The seniors provided the skill and enthusiasm needed to “keep the pace.” Todd Ander- son again proved strong by placing fourth at the state meet with a discus throw of 141'9 . Todd also holds the school record in this event with a throw of 148'7 . Dwight Yankey helped Mercer to excel in the throwing events by competing in both the shot and discus. Lance Darland dominated every event he entered. He was undefeated in the 800 meter and 1600m during the season until the state meet. Lance placed second in both the 800m and 3200m races at the state meet. He also finished third in the 1600m run. Over the last two years, Lance has acquired the following school records: 200m (23.2), 400m (50.8), 800m (1:55.1), 1600m (4:21.7), and 3200m (9:52.6). Of course, the seniors were not the only wor- thy competitors. A number of underclassmen provided valuable points at many track meets. Dean Darland won numerous 3200m races with Keith Ransdell close behind. Victor Francis and Daryl Johnson gained the respect of other teams in both the hurdles and field events. Sixth grader, Eddie Sallee, was an inspiration to the team by running in the very demanding 1600m and 3200m races. All of these peo- ple and numerous others added to the team’s success. One par- ticular group cannot be overlooked — the fans. Any track team member will agree that every race is influenced by the fans. People like Mr. and Mrs. Fain and Mr. and Mrs. Darland always found the time to be at the meets and yell their hardest for all those competing. The people in the stands helped to make the team what it was. With the help of everyone, the track team again proved that it could “keep the pace.” 6 3.

Regional 2nd 1st st 3 Catchin' On The 1980-81 Mercer County Baseball Team proved to be quite a team. As a rather young team with only four seniors, the Scotties did very well in regular and post-season play. Their record was 12-10, but they were District runners-up and advanced to the Regionals. The team won the first game in the Regionals over Harrison County and moved on to the se- cond game. They were then defeated by Shelby County. Their efforts and practice paid off, however, as they enjoyed a very produc- tive year 120 The season was a ballr Mark Bugg Mercer Opponent j 3 Jessamine County 1 I 13 Danville 5 1 i 10 Model 0 1 0 Berea 6 12 Casey County 2 6 Harrodsburg 4 12 Model 2 0 Boyle County 11 5 Burgin 0 0 Lexington Catholic 11 5 Jessamine County 17 3 Boyle County 14 1 Marion County 6 9 Garrard County 6 9 Lincoln County 6 10 Casey County 6 5 Harrodsburg 10 5 Boyle County 9 6 Harrodsburg (Dist.) 1 3 Woodford Co.

An Added Dimension This year students from Mercer County were able to participate in the sport of tennis, because three new tennis courts were built on the school grounds. Two teams were formed, a boys’ team and a girls’ team, in order to represent Mercer County in high school tennis competition. The boys' team contained three seniors who fared well against experienced 3 1. Senior Brian Ballard demonstrates his good form and powerful backhand. 2.

What does it take to have a successful sports pro- gram? Is it just the players and the coaches? No. It is everyone. It takes both players and fans to make a team. Often it is what goes on behind the scenes that wins a ballgame. Chris Pinkston was one of those people who gave of himself to see that everything ran smoothly at football and baseball games. For four years, Chris has been the team manager. Few people give proper credit to those who spend most of the game on the bench. It is these players who practice diligently throughout the year in hopes of being a ma- jor part of the future team. Also loyal fans braved both rain and snow to back the teams. Every game depends on how the team feels about itself. Only the fans, cheerleaders, and fellow team members can boost the team spirit. It takes all this and more to have a suc- cessful season. 1. 2. 3. 4 Senior Jim Lockwood takes a break from the action and watches as his team battles on the field The sideline at a J.V.

It seems as though twelve years would be long enough to prepare for adult life, but it isn’t. In taking five or six classes and participating in extracurricular ac- tivities, there is hardly time for individual interests. There are always certain deadlines that are due every day in each class, and sometimes these things seem to pile up. The way teachers make their schedule plans, students occasionally end up with two or three tests a day. Students usually don't start planning their futures because they think they’ve still got time. In some cases time seems to slip away from them, and they wait too late to take the classes they need. Most students find that there is so much to learn in so little time. 132 2 So Much to Learn ... So Little Time 3 4 1. Mrs. O'Banion instructs Troy Lay, Maurice Baker, Carol Collier, and Robin Lewis as they practice for the Easter Cantata. 2.

It could be copying a friend’s homework, using a crib sheet, scrib- bling algebraic formulas on one’s desk or using a big brother’s book review. Cheating has gained accep- tance among many teenagers. There are many reasons that teenagers cheat. Some parents say “Good grades are a must! and this can cause a large amount of cheating. Many people cheat because they didn’t study and are afraid of failing. While some people may be too lazy 2 to study, others think it’s easier to cheat. There are also many easy ways to cheat. Although crib notes and one’s neighbor's paper are the most popular, some students go to the extreme to cheat, such as writing notes on the bottom of a shoe or on a shirt cuff. It doesn’t matter how it is done, cheating is still cheating. It may help for the moment or for a par- ticular test, but in the long run the cheater only hurts himself because he still hasn’t mastered the material. 134 1. After spending time studying, Sharon Logue still finds it dif- ficult to express her own creative ideas on paper. 2.

For those who choose the road to college, it is a long hard journey. College-bound students often start preparing for col- lege in their Freshman year. Although college prep classes cause many students to carry a heavy load, they feel it will be well worth it in the long run. Many teachers also expose students to study skills and procedures which they must master in college. For example, note taking and essay tests are an initial part of a college student’s life. These things along with many others, are necessary and will make higher educa- tion a success. 137 1. Teaching her Jr. Comp class, Tammy Morris finds taking Mrs. Noel's place can't easily be done. 2.

Taking telephone calls is one of Lisa Jones' many tasks in taking over Mr. Gash's job. 5 With the aid of the Senior High Student Council, students got a rare opportunity to be a teacher. The date was chosen as April 1, which was quite appropriate because that is April Fool’s day. Each student was allowed to teach one class for one hour and had to follow the teachers’ scheduled plans. Everything went over well and everyone had a good time. 139 Studenfs' Choice Many teachers at Mercer County High School possess the admirable qualities that enable them to stand out in the crowd. These qualities include such things as friendliness and concern for the students. After a student poll, the teachers who seem to have an abun- dance of these qualities were recognized. Mrs. Short and Mrs. Young proved to be the choices of the Junior High. New to Mercer County High, Miss Lerow captured the hearts of the Freshman class. The Sophomore class chose Miss Smith while the Junior class picked Mr. Fallis. Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Murray tied for the Senior favorite. All of these teachers deserve to be recognized and thanked for their hard work and dedication. 2 3 1. Miss Smith answers a tricky Science question tor Susan Parrott. 2.

Named Honors Night because it honors outstanding students, it also represents the hard work and dedication of many students. Several senior students received scholarships. Terrie Logue received the EKU Award of Excellence and the BPW Scholarship. Bobbie Green also received the BPW Scholarship. The Georgetown College Scholarship was awarded to Kim Koch while the Midway Presidential Scholarship went to Patricia Jones. Jim Lockwood received the Cumberland College Scholarship and Centre College awarded Joy Testa their scholarship. Denise Vaught was presented the Century III Leaders Certificate of Merit from Morehead University. Marie Bentley was chosen for the DAR Good Citizen Award. Also on the agenda, Mrs. Broadwater inducted the new Sophomore Beta Club members. Other academic awards were presented in every field of study.

Map of the Times Just like a ship knows its location in time by a map, we know our location in time by the news events which surround us. This year, the National news was overshadowed by the American hostages in Iran. Everyone followed the reports of the fifty-two with suspense for 444 days. The presidential elec- tion between incumbent Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan was also given much news coverage. Local news included the Kentucky forest fires, several days of smokey atmosphere and the hard efforts of firefighters. All Mercer Countians were affected by these national and local news events. 148 1. Many Mercer Countians such as Margaret Brooks enjoy the newly installed H.B.O. in their homes. 2. Sonny Johnstone and Mark Bugg explain to their Business Law class the legal aspects of the Abscam case in Washington D.C. 3. Todd Thompson reflects on the rising gasoline prices as he “fills her up ’ 4. Joey Sanders displays a yellow ribbon in support of the release of the 52 American hostages from Iran. 5. Doug Hendrix, Karen Casselman, and Brian Ballard reflect on John Lennon’s life and career as they listen to his last album before his sudden death. 6. Even Mercer County is affected by the Kentucky forest fires as Ken Helton, Greg Henson, Paula Mullins, and Rita McFatridge smell and see the resulting smoke. 7. Now. how did you guess Kevin Meredith is happy to hear that Reagan will be our next President? 149 Recreation Mercer students do a number of different things with their spare time. Since each one follows his or her individual interests, there are many, varied hobbies. Sports of all kinds are largely popular as well as simple outdoor activities. Others prefer to pursue more cultural things. Either way, here are a few of the in- teresting pastimes that oc- cupy us! 150 Deck 1. Jimmy Murray proudly displays his baseball card collection ... All 40,000! 2. Mary Montgomery enjoys playing the piano in her spare time. 3. Believe it or not, this is Ryan Sell at his exciting hobby .. . sky-diving. 4. This collection of porcelain belongs to Debbie Hayslett. 5. Working with microfilm is what Lisa Smock likes to do with her time. 6. This miniature paddle boat is one of the things John Ryder puts together. 7. Todd Gritton is proud of his stamp collection. 8. Lucinda Moore expresses herself through poetry. 9. Somewhere behind all this equipment is David Wheeler and a couple of drumsticks! 151 Off Board Mercer students spend their time “hanging out” at a variety of different places. Two of the hottest “cruise spots” are Pizza Hut and McDonald's as everyone gathers to enjoy each other’s company over Super Supremes and Big Macs. No matter the place, however, the important thing seems to be associating with friends ... and this can be just as fun at someone’s house or taking a walk. 152 1. Sonny Johnstone, Rebecca Dean, Doug Hendrix, Anne Strat- ton, and Duane Perkins hit Pizza Hut after a bailgame. 2. No wonder there’s a gas shortage — cruising is a popular pastime in Mercer County. 3. A 50’s dance breaks the normal routines for Gail Proctor. 4. Gary Taylor, Steve Fulton, David Buchanan, and Chris Horn stop by McDonald s for a burger and fries. 5.

Many students enjoy quiet evenings at home with their girl or boyfriend as do Jean Ruby and Alan Britton. 153 With the Stream These are some of the styles that were considered just right for sailing” through the school year. Many students got into the new“preppy” look with top- siders, Izod shirts, Cheeno pants, monogrammed sweaters, and plaid skirts with socks. Yet some, as usual, continued to prefer the ageless look of blue jeans. Flowing 154 Dee Dee Thompson and Deanna Phillips show that the Jr. High is not to be left out of the fashion scene. These are some of the shoes that walk Mercer halls! Kim Cinnamon, in the popular monogrammed sweater and plaid skirt is a contrast to Rebecca Harley's casual look. Tanya Keys wears French braids ... the most popular hairstyle. An executive meeting? No ... just Sandy Huffman, Lana McMurry, Kim Koch, Tanya Keys and Jan Greer in their blazers .. . another “in” fashion. It is easy to see that Tony Carter has his own, individual look. This odd assortment obviously has unusual ideas concerning style! 155 SONGS . Another One Bites the Dust 2. Whip It 3. All Out of Love 4. He 's So Shy 5. More Than 1 Can Say GROUPS 1. Queen 2.

Expressions are fleeting — they appear and vanish in an instant. Happy or sad, serious or amus- ing, expressions are a large part of the best times. To capture an expression is to capture a mood ... a feeling ... a thought. 1 158 bubbly Gary Mrs. Murray . . better known as the thinker! Phyllis Brinegar and Greg Teater have expressions. Todd Taylor plans his next move in cards while Stratton scans a newspaper. Here we have a sleepy Suz-z-zanne Woodard! Oh, stop trying to be sexy, Jerald Richardson! Does Dennis Vaught have these attacks often. Dudley Morris? It's good to be alert on the job like Barry Stewart and Tim Soard. Suspense spells the tense expressions of Chris Horn, Doug Bivins, Jeff Pinkston, and Troy Lay on the sidelines at a basketball game. 8 159 Captain’s Table Mercer County had several students who won awards, contests, and the respect of many. Other had personal accomplishments and attained self- imposed goals. The Captain’s table is reserved for guests of honor ... like some of these different achievers of the 80-81 school year. 3 160 The winner of the school contest and runner-up in the county conservation essay contest is Glen Phillips.

The juniors had a very limited budget to work with, but they managed to purchase all of the necessities for a successful prom. After all the planning and purchasing was done, the actual decoration of the Lions Park Community Center took place. Community Center Manager, Buck Ison, stated the juniors' work was the best job in decorating he had seen there. The Prom Committee and class officers worked very hard to make the Prom a memorable night for everyone in attendance. 165 2 Info fhe Nighf 4 1981 was a year of changes at the Junior-Senior Prom. Not only was it held in Lions Park Community Center, but music was provided by the Hook’s Sounds rather than a live band. The dance floor was covered with brilliant lights and everyone enjoyed the disco setting. This event was the highlight of the final voyage for the Class of '81.

Each member sold “subtle reflection,” an acrylic ornament. The money raised helped pay on the expenses of the Beta Club Con- vention. All of the members who attended had a wonderful time.

Members of the club work hard in their community as well as in their school and personal lives. The club raised money this year by having a paper drive. They collected newspapers and had them recycled. They also went to the state convention in Louisville. For a Spring project, they held an Easter egg hunt for the Mercer Elementary children. During the initiation ceremony, ten new members were welcomed to the club. After the ceremony, there was a small party for new members and their parents. 172 1.

The French Club began its year with the tradi- tional initiation of its members. To raise money, they sold corsages for Homecoming. During February the club held a Valentine dance for students and their dates. Near the end of the year, many of the French students enjoyed a French meal at The Magic Pan. 174 Things io Do The Spanish Club had a very exciting year. The members got off to a good start with the initiation and a Christmas party at Larry Rousey’s house. During this gala event, a Spanish feeling was created with the breaking of the pinata. To raise money for their activities, a slave sale was con- ducted. Everyone participated and offered their services to help the organization. Bringing a pro- sperous year to an end, the club took a field trip to Lexington to see a Flamenco Ballet. Also a spring outing was sponsored for members and their dates. 1.

They sang at Dan- ville Nursing Home for Easter and Christmas. They also performed programs for many churches. They tested their talents by going to the chorus and solo festival in Richmond. The chorus worked hard to raise money for their organization by selling candles. Pat Jones won a stereo for being the top seller. The organization was rewarded for their hard work by having a cookout at Mrs. O’Banion's home. 1. All eyes are focused on the flag as Melony Sanderfer sings the Star Spangled Banner. 2.

Being a Christian based organization, the members encouraged activities and promoted ideas that would make a better school environment. The club performed many duties that were beneficial. Since the legislative law of pledging to the U.S. flag was passed, the job was given to the Coed-Y. The members also got wholeheartedly involved in aiding the Chamber of Commerce during Pioneer Days, serving in the hospitality rooms at Homecoming and Alumni Night and at the annual basketball banquet. Members also visited the rest home and perform- ed service projects for the hospital and Red Cross. The club attended KUNA and KYA, conven- tions which focus on world and state govern- ments. At the Kentucky Youth Assembly the Coed-Y Club was proud to be awarded one of nine Triple A awards for outstanding work throughout the year. 180 3 1.

Initiation was the highlight. Each new member was required to come to school dressed as an infant, complete with bot- tle, rattle, and pacifier. The pep club’s main purpose is to give support to the Scottie team by cheering at pep rallies and ball games. To show their appreciation for the team, the pep club sponsored the Spring banquet for the athletes, their parents, teachers and coaches. Under the continued guidance of Miss McPhaill, the pep club has high hopes. 182 Reviving Interest For the first time in three years, the Drama Club became ac- tive once more. Various members attended speech tour- naments, with two advancing to state. Members also enter- tained the elementary with fairy tales and a Dukes of Hazzard skit. To add to the holiday spirit, the Drama class performed a Christmas play. The Spring production produced by the Drama class called “Suitable for Hanging” was a huge suc- cess. The club members worked hard but had lots of fun in the process. 1. Patricia Whitanack demonstrates the proper way to decorate Easter eggs 2.

Could this be the feeling of a member of one the oldest clubs of the school? Well, yes, but just as a joking gesture. The library club is a very popular and motivated organization. Its members devote their study hall time to aid with check-outs, inventory, and various other small but important jobs. Along with everyday cooperation, the club sponsored a book week for the junior high, a party for encouraging readers, and promoted Library Week in which an overdue book could be returned free with a justified reason, such as “I dropped it in the toilet, and it had to dry out.” Many do not realize the vast importance of the club, but the library could hardly run without it. 184 On the Move The Vocational School was enlivened by the FBLA Club. They were either having, planning, or doing something all year. To make money, they spon- sored a slave sale and had a car wash. During break time, members prepared a luncheon. They also sponsored an Easter egg hunt for Mercer kindergarten students. The club held a skating party at Windjammer for everyone’s enjoyment.

Christmas baskets and Spring bouquets were also sold. In the FFA Queen and Sweetheart contest, Brenda Shuman won the title of Queen and Jo Anne Strickland became Sweetheart. The FFA benefited the Easter Seals drive by collecting donations from county residents. The FFA also actively par- ticipated in the dairy judging contest and placed sixth.

Despite all the work and one dollar price in- crease, many good times were enjoyed by the members.

One last word of advice from Mrs. Obanion and the chorus is ready. Bon Voyage! Graduation was a time for remembering with a smile, all the experiences of the past twelve years, realizing with a tear that it was also a time for saying good-bye to the past and most of those who were a part of it.
