Then, on that date, the school doors opened to continue construction on the ac- ademic lives of students. Students noticed the changes that had taken place since the previous year. Changes were a new fee sys- tem, ramps in the lobby and cafeteria, a new doorway into the lunchroom, and a few new teachers. Students were lost, due to the fact that teachers changed class- rooms through the course of a day. The yearbook staff took note of all the changes and improvements. They realized there were, not only im- provements 'in the school and community,but also na- tionwide. It was for this reason they chose Under Con- struction as the theme for this yearbook. A construction worker strives to complete work on the new ramp and doorway in the cafeteria before students arrive from summer vacation. Seventh grade students. Michael Sherrow, John Blacketer. Mike Tay- lor, and Stephanie Hill, express their delight at the freedom enjoyed by being a part of the junior high. 2 Opening After a long, hard day's work. Crystel Arnold. Stephanie Nelson, Mi- chelle Johnson, and Karen Goodlett enjoy a few minues rest before returning to class. During the first few weeks of school, journaism is not very hectic. Angle Taylor and Tlua Chilton discuss plans for their layouts, while Tony Peavler and Wayne Carroll work intently. As the juniors face the seniors. Kristi Wilson and Amanda Bee look intently at their opponents with hopes of winning Powder Puff champs, a feat that is virtually Impossible. Activities — On The Increase Student activities increased as the weeks passed. The majority started attending club meetings, and joined the clubs of their choice. Another student activity. Pow- der Puff, involved the junior and senior girls. The junior girls surprised a large portion of the student body with their victory over the seniors. As usual, an onslaught of new students arrived. This included the seventh graders. LaShannon Holt, a seventh grader, said, High school is not as different as I thought it would be, but I do enjoy the freedom. This feeling was shared by the majority of the seventh grade. Teachers' aides provided significant help for teach- ers. One teacher, Mr. Terry Dailey, was privileged to have two student aides. His aides, Nikki Nelson and Con- nie Sanders enjoyed the experience and stated, We really enjoy it. It has been a great learning experience, and we plan to do it again next year. For the most part, students were glad school had started. It provided time of renewing old acquaintances, and for others, a time of involvement in extracurricular activities. The idea of having student teachers' aides has caught on with many teachers Mr. Terry Dailey entrusts his aides. Nikki Nelson and Connie Sanders, with his science tests. Study hall provided time for study, gossip, and for valuable time spent with friends Jennifer Webb likes to spend her study hall in deep study with friend Vanessa Hurst. 4 Opening School can be both mentally and physically draining to a person. Travis Devine finds it very hard to stay awake, especially when the teacher is giving a boring lecture. Junior high is an exciting experience for those who have never been there. LaShannon Holt, a seventh grader, looks at jjnior high as an ex- citing, new experience. uunces provide onoiner oppor- tunity -to -be With friends: Billy Beas ley and Almee Rlechenbach takjb a break from the tiresofne dancing to rest awhile. - ■ ‘ a.

Fashion, Next 400 Feet Fashion tastes ran wild through- out the hallways as everyone began sporting his her own individual style of fashion. Most guys and gals stuck with the crowd while others led a fanatic fantasy fashion of their own. Mike Buerhaus explained I think that the way I dress affects the way I feel because if I get dressed up in a shirt and tie I feel great and nothing really bothers me. A fashion feeling of spectacular confidence should make anyone feel bright and cheerful all day. Everyone could find a sense of security in his protective apparel. Cool trends such as Swatch watches, bleached blue jeans, and metalic clothing plus accessories ex- ploded onto the popularity scene. Fashion attempted and succeeded at bringing into perspective color, communication, and coordination. Time passed and fashion changed, but true fashions echoed into memo- ries.

Fashion 9 A Victorious The first big celebration was fi- nally going to take place. Once again it raged Homecoming Week. A feeling of excitment grew in every member of the student body. The student's reaction will never be for- gotten. The week consisted of many events such as dress-up days. Every- one dressed up for 50's day, hat and sunglasses day, t-shirt and button day, and school spirit day. On school spirit day students showed their spirit by wearing red and blue. All had a chance to express his or her own creativity through daring and inno- vative apparel. The next event was proclaimed powder puff game day, a game that put Junior and Senior girls head on seeking a victory. It created a struggling battle between the junior and senior rivals. There burned much Dancing Ns victory dance. John Chilton Is crowned Mr. Sexy Legs by a contest among al the footbal players. Sharing a tender and happy moment alone, Jett Burton and Tonya Tyler wait casually for the next slow dance. Foundation anger among the rivals and the fights broke out most assuredly. When asked if powder putt meant alot to her, Georgianna French said, Definitely, it gives the girls in both junior and senior classes a chance to work together and make the most of their last years of high school. Although the seniors fought a good battle, the juniors rose to a victory. An FHA sponsored sexy legs contest proved John Chilton to own the most tantalizing appendages. He was crowned Mr. Sexy Legs at the Homecoming pep rally. This pep rally celebrated the night's game. People danced to the beat as the end of the week was closed with the Homecoming dance. Outra- geousness spread in every direction. This sighted the building of a founda- tion for a victory-filled year.

Tamra Priddy can get her newly-acquired crown to stay in place. Dignified Marks Homecoming tends to leave its mark on everyone, more so on some than others. For the grade re- presentatives, the queen candi- dates and their escorts, and, espe- cially for Tamra Priddy, homecom- ing made a definite impression. Tamra was crowned Home- coming Queen. Tamra's first reac- tion was one of shock. She said, When I first heard my name called over the speaker, I went numb. I guess it was the shock I felt. I forgot everything we had done in prac- tice. As the night progressed so did the attention she received. She said, Everywhere I walked there was a new face to greet me! I nev- er felt more special in my whole life! But when asked if she thought the title would change her atti- tude, she replied, No, why should it? I was just lucky. Just as Tamra was surprised by becoming Homecoming Queen, the student body was surprised by the early arrival of homecoming. The game and all the activities were celebrated in September. Kathy Parrott remarked, It seems so weird. It's too hot for Homecom- ing. It shouldn't be until at least Oc- tober. But the time of year made no difference to the football team who left a mark all its own. They de- feated the Richmond Madison Purples by a score of 21 to 8. Excitement surrounded every- one. The outcome of all the activi- ties, especially the ballgame, made a perfect ending for Home- coming.

Time Well Spent It takes a very special and shar- ing person to give up his precious time for those who are in need. Whether it be just someone to talk to or someone who gives of a certain skill, these people are valuable hu- manitarians to society. They give of their time to establish a better way of life within our community. Dedicated volunteers can be found right here on this high school campus. Angelia Taylor, who works for the Foster Care Program, responds on how this voluntary good deed gives to her life. It enriches my life a great deal. Even though we spent a great deal of time working on the Christmas presents we crafted, it made me feel really special when I saw the look in the small children's eyes as they took those presents I had helped to make from Santa Claus. Giving up time to help others is not so bad when one receives the greatest reward which is feeling good about one's own self. Lorrie Darland enjoys her work at Cardinal and Stone Manor motel because she “gets to meet a lot of people from all over the country. Volunteering time for others gives that person a feeling more precious than gold. In c very protessioncl, yet friendly fashion Lorrie Darland helps visitors find the historical land- marks in our community. The dedicated and patient employee's prime example, Christy Allen, works to please all cus- tomers at a local store, Wal-Mart. Foster children look forward with great antici- pation to the time when Angelia Taylor arrives brightening their day. Community Involvement 15 Facing the next half of the day.

Lee Ezell and Jennifer Crisp try hiding.� Building Understanding Intercurriculum relationships can be viewed throughout the bogus halls of limited illumination. An inter- esting aspect of people is watching how they function in different situa- tions. Baby talk, smooching, and most of all lover's quarrels are favorites to the onlooking spectators. Everyone enjoyed such nice couples as Melissa McGinnis and Chris Caton or Robbie Lunsford and Shelly Vandiver who spent most of their time together. These couples, plus others, enlight- ened the dull and drab days by shar- ing their happiness with all passers-by. A big disadvantage of seeing the same person day after day is be- coming less interested as the days pass into boredom. Although some members of an on-campus relation- ship seem to think very differently. A representative of couples, Melissa McGinnis stated, Yes, it lets you get to know the person better and how they will react to a lot of everyday problems that you will not see if ou are not with them. Also it allows you to share a lot more than being apart will. Robbie Lunsford said, No, be- cause if I really like the person it does not matter how long I see that per- son. Most people always considered the feelings involved in relationships and how much importance was placed on the emotional factor. In Melissa McGinnis's opinion she of- fered this, “Trust and understanding are very important. If a relationship does not have it then a bond can not exist between the two people. Un- derstanding each other's needs and problems is something all couples must have in order for any kind of re- lationship to workout for the best.

Silk shirt, black tie, and who needed a reason why. This could have only been the sweetheart dance. Lights flashed; the contemporary music roared through the unexpectedly large crowd. During the week, snow and ice had made hazardous travel conditions, but there was clear weather for the successful social gathering. All the decorations, arrangem- ents and settings were extremely at- tractive. This took much hard work and long hours, approximately ten to eleven hours of work said sweetheart dance sponsor Mrs. Karen Peavler. Obviously lots of hard labor and many working hands were needed to complete that look which resulted. Everyone enjoyed the dance's sweetheart look. The theme of the dance was Can't Help Falling In Love by the pop rock star, Corey Hart. All the couples who appeared loved the set where the photographs were made which would capture the moment forever. How could someone help falling in love under the lights and in the dimly lit corners of the dance hall? Many couples enjoyed the time they spent alone together. The music was supplied by FM94% and Fantasy Productions. All who attended were not disappoint- ed for a second by the music supply. From Chicago to The Beastie Boys , all were satisfied with the sound that echoed throughout the dance floor. Amidst the crowd and confusion, Tiua Chilton said her favor- ite part of the dance was being with that special someone. All in all the dance was great and was enough to electrify hearts with cupid's arrow shot through them. Jamming out an overload of loud dnd loose rock-and-roll music. Fantasy Productions pro- duces the ultimate sound supply.

Action! and their year of building sets, creating cos- tumes, and memorizing lines had sud- denly begun for Mrs. Donna Fegen- bush's performing drama class. All performances by the drama students were extremely enjoyed by enthusi- astic audiences. The productions of the drama class were used to instruct, enlighten, and entertain. The first major produc- tion by the students was to make a determined effort to enroll more par- ents in the P. T. O. than last year. To achieve this, the drama students used their talents to portray well- known celebrities giving advice on the value of being a P. T. O. member. The Christmas production, Christmas Comes to Detroit Louie, displayed the drama students' ability to exe- cute a comedy. The spring presenta- tion of The People vs. Maxine Lowe was held in the main courtroom of the local courthouse and was presented as an actual, captivating courtroom drama. From laughing comedy to serious drama, this drama troupe had the winning acts when the final curtain fell. The Karate Kid (Scarla Gritton) shows no mercy while in high energy competition for the enlistment of new P.T.O. members. Ms. Achins (Anessa Moberly).

Everyone says that a little help from a friend is always appreciated and this was no excep- tion as Monica Yavarone zips Karen Goodlett The hours and minutes until the prom were counted not only by those students who were seniors, but also by the juniors, especially those on the prom committee. The gymnasium was turned into a beautiful room, so the seniors could remember it forever. For the first year, in a long time, the prom was held in the gymnasium. The committee put in many hours to get the prom together. It took months to prepare such an ex- citing event. Some of the jobs the committee did ranged from making refreshments, ordering decorations, to actually creating a wonder world. Not only did the prom commit- tee get ready, but also those that were going to the prom. Those who drove had to shine their cars for that special someone. Flowers and tuxes had to be picked up. Then it was time to get ready. Karen Godlett said, “It probably takes two hours to get ready. Miss Elizabeth Sale has been into her prom dress. Monica wore a solid black dress while Karen wore a black dress with specks of shiny blue. working with the proms for six years. When Miss Sale was asked why she liked to work as the prom sponsor she responded, “It's something that stu- dents get interested in and get excit- ed about. Also I enjoy seeing differ- ent groups interact in order to get their goals accomplished. Those stu- dents that made the prom come alive are as follows: The junior class officers and Mark Bell, Ray Caton, Mary Collier, Laura Connelly, Ray Cornish, Kim Goodman, Leanne Har- din, Jamie Hendren, Tina Jackson, Patrice Lozier, Spencer Tatum, Paula Thompson, and Tony Vandivier. So as the time got closer to the prom, the students became more excited. The juniors were excited be- cause they knew it was almost their time to be seniors, only one year of high school left. The seniors were ex- cited because they knew that this was almost the last social event that the school would give them. It had to be perfect, with all the excitement in the air. While working on her hair, Sharon Roark thinks about the great time she and her date will have at the prom. Excitement in the Air Pre-Prom 25 Dancing In Smiling faces, teary eyes, and slow dances all played a large part in the excitement of the illustrious prom. Colorful lights flashed while mu- sic played loudly and clearly. Couples laughed and talked with their friends, yet some couples began to quarrel over matters unknown as the night rolled away. Couples smiled gallantly as photographers from Coffman stu- dios created a lasting memory of their special night. Overall every person who at- tended the exhilirating prom was ex- tremely pleased by the Junior class' work throughout all areas of the prom. When asked what she thought Dreamland of the prom's total look and feel, Crystel Arnold responded by saying, I thought the decorations, music, lights, and dancing all showed a real excitement that made everybody just have to get up and dance. Ev- erybody looked so great in formals, and tuxes, and they all seemed to have a wild time!” Slowly, the evening drew to a close and couples began to leave. Prom King Glenn Logue and Queen Rebecca Collins accepted their crowns to rule the remaining hours of prom night. Couples danced into dreamland as music became si- lence. Happily Angelia Taylor pays the fee to com- memorate the Junior-Senior prom night with el- egant portraits from Coffman's Studio. Dancing in step to the rock and roll beat.

Prom 27 Alien Invaders Three unusual aliens graced the halls. The aliens, really not so unusual, were foreign exchange students who attended classes along with the senior class. Viktoria Bystrom and Eva Jo- hannson came from Sweden, and Monica Yavarone came from Spain. While in the United States, Viktoria liv- ed with the David Strattons, Eva with the Billy Ransdells. and Monica with the Frank Goodletts. The schools in Sweden and Spain differ from those in Kentucky. In Swe- den, students call their teachers by their first names, not by Mr. or Mrs. Stu- dents have eight classes each lasting forty minutes. They also do not pay for their lunches. The taxes pay for them. In Spain, students go from nine A.M. to six P.M. They have nine clas- ses and stay in the same classroom while the teachers change classes. Each of the foreign exchange students was very cooperative in an- swering any questions. When asked how they liked living in the United States, the general concensus among the three was I love it! Viktoria Bystrom really gets involved, like par- ticipating In homecoming dress-up days. •r.

Graduation 31 Jl 3o,l Jn Baccalaureate for the graduat- ing class of 1987 was held at the Harrodsburg Baptist Church on May 24th. Services were opened with the graduates parading in to the tune of ''Voluntary by John Stanley. The Mercer County High School Chorus performed With Songs of Rejoicing along with the accompa- niment of Mrs. Vicki Bell. The invoca- tion was given by Reverend Charles Buerhaus. The chorus then proceed- ed with Come to Zion. The Reverend Everett Priddy ad- dressed the graduates with the fol- lowing opening: When I think of completing high school. I think of coming to the fork in the road. It is a time for making decisions. It is a time to decide who you are, what you are going to stand for, and where you are going from here. Reverend Prid- dy concluded his discourse with this next statement: If you set worthy goals and work diligently to achieve those goals, you will receive satisfy- ing rewards, not just material things, but joy, peace, and contentment. All of the seniors looked hopeful with this statement, and planned to reap these rewards. Graduates Billy Connor. H. T. Logue, and Julie calaureate commencement to begin.

Baccalaureate 33 From Celebration to Tribulation Events in recent months have given the American people just cause for questioning the existence of truth in a government in which they have placed their trust. Americans have also called into question their own lifestyles and how this affects ev- eryday living. Ronald Reagan's biggest diplo- matic disaster visualized with the Iran- Contra affair. More than $30 million dollars in secret profits from the Iran- ian weapons deal had been diverted to support the Contras in Nicaragua. However, presidential staff members North, Poindexter, McFarlane, and even Reagan himself seem to have no remembrance of the whole or- deal. The affair left Reagan's credibil- ity among the American people in tatters. A gala celebration was recently held in honor of the 100th birthday of the Statue of Liberty. Six million peo- ple crowded into New York Harbor for the celebration, while millions watched the extravagant display on television. As a result of the $69 million dollar rennovation, the Statue of Lib- erty still remains as a symbol of this country's idealism, fervor, and confi- dence. The tragic death of Boston Celtic star, Len Bias made Americans face the stark reality that drugs are not just fun and games. As a result. Congress launched an expensive anti-drug bill. The nightmare of a nuclear disas- ter recently became a reality. The worst nuclear disaster in the world's history occurred at a Soviet nuclear plant in Chernobyl. Thirty-one Soviets died in the reactor fire and 4,000 more died as a result of radiation. Tax reform became an open tar- get for lobbyists trying to protect var- ious industries and interest groups. The new tax law eliminates many loo- pholes, deductions, and complica- tions. However, a law that was meant to simplify procedures only caused mass confusion. During a two-day preparatory summit held in Iceland, Ronald Reag- an and Mikhail Gorbachev nearly achieved a historic breakthrough on arms control. However, the summit broke down when Reagan refused a Soviet proposal that set strict limita- tions on his Star Wars program. The third Monday of January is now a federal holiday, set aside to honor the death of civil rights activist, Martin Luther King, Jr. Yet, still nearly a dozen states refuse to go along with this federal holiday. Recent months have taken the lives of many noted personalities. Singer Ricky Nelson, 45, died in an air- plane crash. Actor James Cagney, 86, died recently.

However, two stu- dents, Scott Bugg and Holly Car- penter, have successfully con- quered this task. Their peers chose them as Mr. and Miss Seventh Grade. Both have truly set the pace for the rest of their classmates. In- volvement in school clubs was visi- ble evidence of this. Both actively participated In the Jr. High Science and Beta clubs. When asked what she liked most about being in the seventh grade, Holly said, I like changing classes, having different teachers. and not staying with the same peo- ple all day. Scott said, 'T like not being in class with the same people all day and changing classes. Scott and Holly both agreed that what they liked least about the seventh grade was being the youngest in the school. Students often have mixed ideas as to what the first day of the seventh grade will be like. Holly said, “I thought that seventh grade was going to be a total trip, but I found out you really have to work. Scott said, I didn't know what to expect and what was going to happen during the day. But after a while it was pretty exciting. Playing football has a definite place in Scott's life. He enjoys this sport most of all. One of Holly’s many hobbies Includes talking on the telephone. This is her favorite pastime. 38 Seventh Grade 7th Grade, I've Got It Made. From kindergarten through sixth 1 felt so smart. But Ns year I've been more afraid- The school is different, the teachers unknown. I'm in the seventh grade Now I'm part of some clubs. I'm in the band, and love the football and basketball games.

Who's going to come to my aid? - They expect me to think of all this on my own.

However, one student, Mary Farkas, got the chance to travel to Europe during Christmas vacation. She visited such places as the ports in Monte Carlo, the Colosseum in Rome, and the Pan- theon. Mary said that one of the main differences in Am- ericans and Europeans was their eating habits. At meals they drink wines or water and they eat pasta at almost every meal. One problem that arose was the language barrier. In France not many people speak English. We finally found one person who spoke English and we would have to go to him for help. She said that her favorite souvenir was a statue of the symbol of Rome. This statue will serve as a life-long remembrance of her trip for many years to come.

She collects playing cards. She started collecting cards because she already had a numerous amount of decks, and en- joyed looking at the cover designs. Kathy now has sixty decks. Some of the cover designs she has includes un- icorns, ducks, and ships. Kathy also collects old decks of playing cards. She has four old decks. All four decks are originally copyrighted by Parker, Brothers. When asked where she got all of her cards, Kathy said, I get them anywhere I go. I get some on trips when I can find them. My dad travels to places like New York and the Bahamas. I have cards from these places. Kathy has a goal of reaching 4000 cards. She will keep right on collecting until she reaches her objective.

She actively participates as part of the Junior High squad. Playing basketball and baseball are two of Chad's many hobbies. As a result. Chad plays on the junior High basketball team. 46 Eighth Grade Anxiously awaiting her chance to “chow down on the doughnuts provided at the honor roll reception. Jennifer Johnson eyes the menu.

Baseball cards. Around 23,000 in all. All six boys are highly interested in collecting base- ball cards. Most of the boys got their cards by trading them with others or by purchasing them at a baseball card shop in Lexington. The boys said they started collecting the cards to have something to do, because it was fun, and be- cause some of them are worth a lot of money. All of the boys have old cards. However, the honor of possessing the oldest card, belongs to Alex Kirkland and his Topps, 1967 Joe Pepitone card. The boys have also proven that they take their col- lections seriously. Most of the boys have been collect- ing cards for two years or more. However, Adam has been collecting cards for four years.

Many carry on friendships with people in other states through letterwri- ting. However, few have the privilege of conducting friendships with people who live clear across the world. One student, Anr e Gabbard, has this rare oppor- tunity. She is now writing a girl by the name of Jane Mywywo who lives in Zambia, Africa. Jane is thirteen years old and in 9th grade. Anne came in contact with Jane in the sixth grade. Anne's teacher sent her classes' names to Worldwide Pen Pals Company. The company sent the names of students in other countries. Anne has been writing to Jane for three years be- cause, I thought it would be nice to learn about other people, their culture, and their country.

There are a lot of people I know who deserve this and much more, said Kathy Ballard about her winning the award. Kathy was ac- tive in Art Club, Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes, and has been a cheerleader for the past two years. When asked how she would have felt if she had lost, she replied, just fine. I know I'm lucky to have the good friends I have and I'd like to thank them all. Art and basketball are two hobbies Kevin Tyler said he en- joyed. Kevin said about winning, I felt pretty good. I guess the fresh- men class chose who they thought was best out of the nominees. Kevin said if he had lost, he wouldn't have felt that bad be- cause he realizes that there are many freshmen more deserving of this honor. Both Kevin and Kathy well rep- resent their freshmen class. Demonstrating that a good picture requires a great deal of time, effort, and patience. Mr. Freshmen. Kevin Tyler, continues work on his own personal masterpiece.

And with it many experiences bring, I wonder what the day will hold. And I know that I must hold up my head and be bold. When all around me. People rushing is what I see. Running to get to class on time. And still keeping their poise and shine. Although I often resent coming here. And several times have shed a tear. When things haven't gone my way. But I know it's all for the best that I'm here to stay. With three more years left to en- dure. Tests, teachers, and homework to come I'm sure. I wish I could graduate and leave And still have the confidence to believe. In this world, there's a place for me. Freshmen class officers are Terry Riley. Vice- President.

Susie said she began horseback riding when she was about four years old and riding her landlord's pony. Ever since, she rides really any chance I get. Al- though Susie admits that the horse that she rode was not hers, she won an award in a Racking Horse Show. When asked about the amount of time she spends rid- ing, Susie replied, riding was part of my daily routine. I owned a horse for about a year and a half, but when we moved to Kentucky, I was forced to sell it. I haven't ridden much since. Through her love of animals, Susie Guthrie found a hobby that she and many other people share and en- joy because it is exhilarating and relaxing.

Among Aaron's honors and awards are being elected into the Order of the Arrow, being senior patrol leader, and having over twenty merit badges. When asked about his most memorable experi- ences, Aaron replied. I think you tend to remember your firsts. The first time you put up a tent and it actually stands up. You have this sense of amazement that you did it. The first time you walk sixteen miles; you feel great. I've put up a lot of tents and have walked many a mile in the last four years and each time I work with a new scout.

She was glad that her fellow classmates and friends elected her to represent the sophomore class and felt honored to hold the title of Miss Sopho- more. She hoped to show that even though you are chosen for something like this you should still be nice to everyone and not a snob. Tim was the junior president of FFA.

Lea Ann Waterfill found this to be true when she began videotaping Mercer County High School ball games three years ago. Her patience has been tested several times while videotaping. One difficulty that has occurred is the failure of electrical current to reach the taping de- vice. Another difficulty that has arisen is the shortage of video recording tape Length of wires also caused unnecessary and time wasting delays. However, these setbacks did not discourage Lea Ann from pur- suing her interest in videotaping which began three years ago under the influence and advice of her par- ents. Sophomores 69 On© of Lloyd Fallis' major interests includes be- ing the FFA chapter reporter. The class of ‘88 chose Lloyd Fallis and Heather Wilson to lead them through their junior year. Lloyd included serving as chapter reporter of the FFA as one of his duties for the year. He en- joyed working on the farm and dili- gently applied himself to FFA activi- ties. Being chosen as Miss Junior did not hinder Heather from showing her activism in clubs. She was se- lected as vice-president of the Stu- dent Council, Engaged in the fol- lowing clubs: FCA, Spanish, Na- tional Honor Society, and Beta, Heather had enough energy to do all of this and still found time to run track. When asked what had helped her and Heather remain friends for so many years, Mary Collier said, We both like to have a good time and Heather has a great sense of humor ' Lloyd is a fun person to be around. He is a good friend and he has a great attitude toward every- thing. He devotes himself totally to FFA activities, commented Chris Hatfield. Both Lloyd and Heather consid- ered being chosen Mr. and Miss Ju- nior a great honor, an honor that both of them were overjoyed to accept.

This style of dance is a cross between square dancing and buck dancing. One of the many students who enjoys clogging is Tim Stinnett. He has been clogging for five years. Tim got his start by just enjoying dancing, and he said, cloggin' looked like fun, Tim took his first lessons from Paul and Sandra McLease and has been doing it ever since. Tim practices at least four times a week to per- fect his style. While with his team, the Star Struck Edition, he won third place in the Leukemia Competition. Other com- petitions in which Tim has participated are the Ken- tucky State and South Carolina competitions. Tom said cloggin' is fun and good exercise. But most of all I like it because you get to meet new people and see exciting places.

Among these jun- iors is David Wade. David devotes his afternoons after school to working at the Mercer County Public Library. David chose this job because his employers let him schedule work around his tennis practice. David's major responsibilities are putting the re- turned books on the shelf and checking out books to people When asked if working in the library had helped him in his school work, David replied, “Yes, now when I need something from the school's library, I can find it with no problem. I know how to find it and where to look for it . Besides enjoying the hours and the money, David likes working with his co-workers the most. Of course, the worst thing about it is the boredom of working. But, David has learned to take the good and the bad.

The recipi- ents of this honor, Brian Driskell and Debi Allen, have clearly demon- strated that they are foremost among their classmates. Both stu- dents' achievements support their role as Mr. and Miss Mercer. Debi has served as the secre- tary of the National Honor Society, FCA, and president of Student Council. She participates in the Beta, Co-Ed-Y, and creative ex- pression team. One of her hobbies includes gymnastics. As a result, she has been a cheerleader throughout high school. Upon graduation she plans to attend U.K. and major in physical therapy. Brian has been FFA Chapter Farmer and Mr. Sophomore. He has been a member of FFA, VICA, Pep Club, and has a permanent seat in the Student Council. After he graduates Brian plans to attend college in Tennessee. Brian has many hobbies; including hunting, fourwheeling, fishing, and water skiing. When asked what this title meant, Debi said, It proves to me that everything I've lived for during high school has been noticed by my classmates. It gives me great feeling to be found so respected.'' Brian said, I'm glad that my peers thought well enough of me to vote for me.'' Debi and Brian have both dem- onstrated that they are dedicated, reliable, and capable of leader- ship. They truly are the leaders of their class. Seniors 81 Christy Allen Debi Allen Davida Allender Crystel Arnold Billy Beasley Mary Best Paula Bowen Archie Britton Melanie Brogle Becky Buchanan 82 Seniors High Risers Years of leadership and academic success earned Damon Preston and Sheila Vaught the honor and pres- tige of being chosen Most Likely to Succeed. Both Da- mon and Sheila said they were proud to receive this honor because it showed that the students and faculty had confidence that they could fulfill this position. Besides being actively involved in extracurricular activities, Damon Preston also actively participated in numerous school related activities. He won first place in the Governor's Cup as well as in district and in confer- ence in mathematics. A competitive academic atti- tude has earned Damon several awards such as being named a National Merit Semi-Finalist and being a Gov- ernor's Scholar. Damon has also held several club and class offices. He also won the Veterans of Foreign War Voice of Democracy Speech Contest. Also a Governor's Scholar, Sheila Vaught has also been active in several clubs and various school activi- ties. Sheila has held positions in the Co-Ed-Y Club, the Beta Club, the Science Club, and the National Honor Society. Winning numerous academic awards as well as having various extracurricular activities, Sheila Vaught sets a fine example for her peers.

When asked about how she felt winning the title, Jeannie replied, It means a great deal because I have gotten in trouble all these years for clowning around and now I have a reason; it is my job, Although active in band, Jeannie is known mostly for her shenanigans both inside and outside the classroom. Jeannie said that she feels her laugh and personality and her ability to make everything a joke lets her get away with mur- der. The teachers chose the nominees, not the stu- dents, therefore it was not just a popularity contest, said Billy Beasley about the superlative voting. Billy also said that he was glad to win the title but that he wouldn't have been disappointed if he had lost. Al- though not actively involved in many clubs or school related activities, Billy is still known by everyone for his cheerful disposition. Billy and Jeannie earned the title class clowns be- cause of their outgoing personalities and sense of hu- mor.

The honor itself is not important. I believe people will know they can count on me, said Emily after win- ning the award. An active person, Emily participated in the Co-Ed-Y Club, the Beta Club and others. She won the DAR Good Citizen Award as well as being elected president of the senior class. When asked what she felt distinguished her from her peers, Emily replied, I have clear goals set for the future and I try to learn from my mistakes. Also involved in various activities. Woody Pulliam said that he was proud to receive this title because, It reassures me that my peers have a belief in me and feel that I am trustworthy and capable of representing them. Woody served as president his junior year, vice- president his senior year, student council representa- tive for 4 years, a KY Colonel, and Chairman of 6th Dis- trict for Young Democrats. In their 4 years of high school both have portrayed qualities of honesty and dependability, said Mrs. Mal- lory. Eva Johansson Sheila Kegley Todd Keys Edgar Lister Ann Margaret Logue Glenn Logue H.

Tommy and Melanie's apparel, along with their en- joyment of participation and fellowship, helped them to become involved members in an assortment of clubs. Tommy liked to partake in Student Council activi- ties. In past years Tommy participated in the French and Science clubs. Melanie was involved in the Beta, National Honor Society, Science, and Spanish clubs her senior year. She was chosen as secretary of the Future Business Leaders of America also. Tommy and Melanie are always confident about their appearances, said Lisa Patterson, when asked what she admired most about them. Though not active in any sport, both Tommy and Melanie enjoyed cheering on the various teams. They believed that the fans were just as important as the players. Both Tommy and Melanie agreed that being pre- sentable at all times was a necessity; therefore, they were naturally chosen as Best Dressed.

When sports were mentioned, the names, Joe Travillian and Becky Buch- annan, instantaneously came to mind. Joe played football for seven years and golf for one year. He competed for three years on the little league baseball and basketball teams. Joe is an all around good guy. He will go out of his way to help someone, said Jamie Sewell and Shawn Holloway. Becky Buchanan excelled on junior high, junior var- sity, and varsity teams. She participated on the tennis team in junior high and on the softball team as a sopho- more. Becky was named junior varsity basketball's MVP her freshman year and received 110% Award and was chosen for the All District team her sophomore year. Also in that year she got the Best Hitter award in softball. As a junior, she got the Free Throw and Most Assist awards. Though Becky and Joe play different sports, they do have one thing in common — their drive to com- pete.

Active in band since fifth grade, Chris Woolums said, I really enjoy playing music and I am glad that the seniors chose me for this position. Chris won the sophomore band award as well as six trophies for solos and ensembles. When asked how he would have felt if he had lost, Chris replied, I wouldn't have been too surprised. I realize that there are many other talented people in the senior class, many deserving the title much more than myself. Carolyn Short said that she was going to use her God-given talent to the best of her ability. Although known mostly for her singing ability, Carolyn said, like to play the piano and just sit down and try to play any instrument. Making all state choir twice, Carolyn has also won several talent contests as well as placing sec- ond in a state female vocalist competition. Monica Yavaronne Robin Young Troy Young Seniors 95 Youthful Advantage All of the graduating seniors are relatively young; however, one student almost missed the boat when it came to graduating with this year's seniors. That student is Jerry Grugin. He has earned the ti- tle of the Youngest Senior. Jerry was born on December 31, 1969. Being the youngest might cause a person to experience a sense of inferiority; however, Jerry does not think so. When he was asked if he thought that his class- mates were more mature than he, Jerry said, Not really. I feel I am just as mature or more than my class- mates. I feel a great deal of ac- complishment about being the youngest senior because I am suc- ceeding at a level higher than where I am supposed to be. Youth can have disadvan- tages and advantages, and Jerry would agree with that. Putting in an Appearance ”1 believe it (good atten- dance) is the responsibility of the in- dividual to care enough about the importance of education to his or her well being. I know that if I miss just one day of school I fall behind in the notes of my classes and I lose the advantage of the teacher's explanations. This kind of attitude has en- abled Anessd Moberly to maintain Perfect Attendance over the past four years. In order to maintain per- fect attendance Anessa says a person must “care about the im- portant things in life- one of those things is a good education. In order to get a good education, you've got to be in school as much as pos- sible. Attendance, a tremendous aid in education, has enabled Anessa to maintain a 3.97 aver- age. Clearly attendance is a plus. Fitting In A newcomer to a school sys- tem may be a hard adjustment to make. A person is walking into a whole new world of different names and unusual faces. Establish- ing new friendships would also be- come a difficult task. One student has probably ex- perienced these very same fears and emotions. Van Turner, the Newest Senior, registered with the school system in October. Van has come from Anderson County High School, located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Al- though his original home lies just down the road, Van has had to ad- just to life in Mercer County. He is, however, adapting very well because when asked what he liked the most about Mercer Coun- ty High he said, the girls. Maybe being new in school isn't so bad. He apparently fits right in. 96 Senior Trivia End of Construction This is the place where we first met, to remembe iever forget, ago we hdel a dream, [o.-ancTsongs, Yesterday A time tc But today brings more re decisions to make, one Jearn.

Academics 101 Tedious Labor Brings Changes Upon entering the school cam- pus. students saw that numerous changes had taken place. These changes were a result of several hours of tedious labor on the part of the Board of Education and Central Office. These alterations were not made on the spur of the moment, but took a substantial period of time. Kenneth King, school superinten- dent summarized this process, Some things require not only local Board approval, but also Department of Ed- ucation approval .. . New construc- tions or additions require request forms (and) meetings of Department of Education. This is very time con- suming, but it is a process we must fol- low. A change also occurred in the Board of Education. It resulted from the retirement of Marion Britton and the transfer of Garnie Yeager. After more than twenty years of member- ship to the Board of Education, Mr. Britton found that it was time for a change. His absence was felt by all. The two new board members were Robert Christiansen and Clyde Sims. During the year, the question of fairness of school rules and policies was brought to surface. On this topic, The 1986-87 Board of Education is, FIRST ROW: Colon. Glenda Short. SECOND ROW: Kenneth Kenneth Meredith, Marlon Britton, Frances King, Clyde Sims, Bob Christiansen. Mr. King stated, All school rules and policies are formulated with one ob- jective in mind: to carry out our aca- demic program in the most effective manner possible. School rules are for- mulated to reduce interference with the educational process ... One thing you can be sure of - we make no rules or policies which are unnec- essary. Mr. King then concluded by stating the main provision of the school. A good education and equal opportunity is what we offer at Mercer County. —X m.

The administration played a vital role in students' educa- tion. One of their main duties included making sure that the routine school day ran smoothly. Mr. James Gash and Mr. John Gumm made sure that nothing dras- tic happened in the school. Involving several students in the making and changing of school policies was ac- complished by Mr. Gash, while Mr. Gumm took disciplinary actions against those who were unruly. Also playing a major role in stu- dents educational career were Mr. John Robinette and Mr. John Slone. Together they were able to guide students in the right direction to an excellent education. Relating themselves to the stu- dents made them able to improve students' attitudes toward educa- tion. All in all, a student found that the administration played a major role in one's education.

Always there to help her pupils, Mrs. Brenda Floyd aids Sarah Wilson with a problem A New Twist in Education. Herbert Spencer once stated, Education has for its object the for- mation of character. This slowly be- came evident to both students and teachers. The realization of this fact had become a process by which teachers taught and students learned. The head of the English De- partment, Julie Lister stated, “The teachers try to be aware of what the students will need in the upcoming year and prepare the students ac- cordingly. Mrs. Lister found that this prepa- ration and character formation was becoming a dire necessity, for she had incorporated the practice of ca- reer rehearsal in the form of resume and interview arrangement in her de- partment. Many students felt that this would become extremely helpful for future use. Also attributing to this formation of character was enlightenment due to the Science Department. Howard Fallis, manager of the Science De- partment, included such methods as lecture, problem solving, class pro- jects, and labs in order to provide preparatory knowledge to scholars. Several of these methods were in- cluded in the requisites for entrance to colleges. Groundwork was considered the basis of success for the pupils. Having become evident to everyone, knowledge was the key to success for the student body. From the abundance of practice she has had, Mrs. Rita Mallory grades papers with skill and efficiency. Grading papers, study plans, and attendance records occupy a large part of Miss Penny Bur- ger's time, as she diligently works to complete the abundance of paperwork that has com- piled over the last few days. Teachers 107 Preparation for Tomorrow In recent times, a change oc- curred; this change made college entrance classes more stringent. Without this alteration, scholars would find life much more difficult. Rita Mallory, director of the Busi- ness Department, tried to help stu- dents develop the skills that would eventually be useful. (The methods of) using computers to teach letter- writing and practice keyboard skills and practice office experience to develop skills by working in the com- munity one day each nine weeks (help the students). Likewise, Rinnie Phelps, Math De- partment director felt that due to the preparation students were exposed to, they excelled. We are ahead of many schools in Kentucky, stated Mrs. Phelps. The teachers and students shared a special bond of coopera- tion, which if used to the fullest, will aid in success in the future.

By taking clas- ses in the vocational area, one re- ceived knowledge that would be valuable to them. These students were among those enrolled in agri- cultural, home economics, and prac- tical arts classes. Such students learned to strip tobacco, cook, sew, make wood projects, and weld. Home economics teacher, Mrs. Charlotte Drlskell, stated that, We hope to have some impact on the fu- ture lives of our students by exposing them to things they need to know in their future lives. Teachers 111 Taking time out from lunch room duty. Mr. Don- ald Shupe takes a peek into Ns favorite book. That Extra Edge Some students required that ex- tra edge to meet their special needs. The teachers of the special educa- tion classes were able to meet their special needs. These students were taught on a one to one basis in small classes. They received individual attention as much as possible. Like most students they received a basic education. As well as getting that extra edge in learning, some students were in the JTPA program. The JTPA pro- gram consisted of a work-study type program. Besides the JTPA program, there were other types of govern- ment sponsored programs. When asksed why she decided to teach special education students Mrs. Toni White replied, I wanted to help students who were very bright people, but had problems in learn- ing. Mrs. White accomplished this by giving the students that extra edge. After an especially tiring day, Ms. Sharon Rob- erts takes time out to relax. 1 112 Teachers An assignment may be easy to give, but explaining the assignment can be harder as Mrs. Betty Short figures out.

New Faces in the Crowd These teachers came from dif- ferent educational backgrounds ranging from University of Kentucky to North Carolina State and even I'Universite de Paris. But, they were all new to the school system. They in- cluded Emma Bradshaw, Robin Dav- enport, Janet Dobson, Jay Shewmaker, Jackie Smith, and Car- olyn Worley. These teachers chose teaching for various reasons. When asked why she chose teaching as her career, Mrs. Worley replied, “I enjoy children of all ages. I love the French lan- guage and enjoy teaching and see- ing the students begin to learn a for- eign language and something about another culture. Likewise, Mrs. Smith chose teaching because, “(I) liked tutoring math. (I) worked with chil- dren in different type jobs and en- joyed it. Persons new to the teaching field had to go through a program called the, teacher appentice program. This consisted of a new teacher hav- ing to serve as an apprentice to an- other teacher for a specified length of time inorder to learn the trade. Ac- cording to Mr. Shewmaker's defini- tion, The program was set up to help new teachers to adapt to a whole new way of life. The new teachers filled in a va- cancy on the staff. Without these persons, a well-rounded curriculum would be almost impossible. Thanks to these Individuals, more knowledge was gained by the student. New Apprentlce teachers 115 Scholastic Promoters Organized in 1985 to help pro- mote and recognize students that perform well academically, the Aca- demic Booster club consisted of par- ents, students, and interested friends and relatives. The following were the club's offciers: Francis LaClair, Presi- dent; Jim White, President Elect; Trula Arnett, Secretary; and Peggy Vaught, Treasurer. The club directors were Pat Sircy, Anita Dunn, and Linda Preston. During the course of the school year the club sponsored several ac- tivities. In the fall of the year, the club held a Honors Program in which they recognized all those students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher with an aca- demic letter. Each week of the school year the club sponsored the Student of the Week. These students were chosen from the various de- partments by the teachers. Each stu- dent was featured in the Harrodsburg Herald and on WHBN radio. After each semester the A and B honor roll students were recognized at a re- ception where cookies and punch were served. On Honors Day the sen- iors, who had maintained a 3.25 GPA Kelly Prewitt and Paula Isham enjoy the re- freshments sponsored by the Academic Club. for all four years, received a medal- lion. In February, the Academic Booster club held a quick recall match between the faculty and stu- dents. The scores were: (Junior High) teachers 17, students 16; (Junior Var- sity) teachers 14, students 10; (Var- sity) teachers 9, students 13. The Academic Booster club al- lowed Francis LaClair, President, to keep up with programs and activities of our school system and to take an active part in our children's educa- tion. 116 Academic Booster Club A number of parents, faculty, and students as- semble for an Academic Booster club meet- ing.

Creations Not all students have the ability to be artists but there were a select few students who did. Many of these students took art because they en- joyed drawing and being creative. The art classes found that they really liked the new classroom. Some of the artists students pre- ferred were Vincent Van Gogh, Nor- man Rockwell, and Andy Warhol. Lora Phillips had this to say about Andy Warhol, “Any person who could take soup cans and turn them into art ... well, he just deserves a little re- spect. During March, National Art Month, an art exhibit was held in the library. Students in Art I to Art IV dis- played some of their great works. All students did agree they preferred art over most of their other classes. Academics 119 Diligently. Kim Goodman finishes her biweekly sketch for Art III class A For Academic Excellence The old adage. Practice makes perfect. stood to be true for the academic teams. The year held many victories for those who excel- led in such areas as quick recall, creative expression, and written assessment. The season started out with a bang for the Varsity Quick Recall Team after winning in the first round of the KET Scholastic Challenge. After this triumph, everything seemed to fall into place. At the Lake Herrington Tourna- ments, students prepared for the Governor's Cup Competition. With fierce competitors such as Madison Central, Danville, Burgin, Harrods- burg, Boyle County, and Jessamine County High Schools, Mercer-walked away with the second place trophy in Quick Recall. In addition, Damon Preston placed first in math and third in science, Chris Mayes placed third in science, and Todd Shewmaker placed fourth in math. In English Com- position, Jamie Hendren, Emily Burks,and Kim Lister placed first, third, and fourth respectively.

Band mem- bers did a tremendous amount of practice over the summer, during sixth hour class, and after school. No matter what, they always practiced. During the course of the year the band competed in many competi- tions. For the first time the auxiliary won four division trophies and two overalls. In the first competition, Scott County Contest, the band as a whole placed first. At the Rowan County Cream of the Crop Marching Con- test, they placed second. In the Som- erset Invitationol Marching Contest the band received third. At their last competition, Casey County Contest, they received third place. After the marching season end- ed the band had many events on their list. They sold oranges, grape fruits, and pennants to raise money. The band performed a Christmas program for the student body on De- cember nineteenth. They also played at several of the home bas- ketball games. In the spring there were contests for solos, ensembles, and the entire band held at Eastern Kentucky Uni- versity. In May the band took their an- nual band tour. Senior bond member, Julie Noel, stated that, “To me, being in the band takes alot of dedication and hard work, but it is fun. It is the one closs that I really enjoy taking.

Deadline Dodgers Amid the journalism class, phrases such as, Deadline? What deadline? rang. Along with this phrase, fourteen students could be seen frantically rushing, armwrestling over the typewriter, and hurling croppers and grease pencils across the floor and at each other. Before all this unorthodox behav- ior began, journalism students had to, fight for their right to party. A theme had to be developed, ads had to be sold, and one-third of the yearbook had to be done and sent to the publisher. Although the age group of the journalism class was extremely unbal- anced, (composed of nine seinors, four juniors, and one sophomore), a tight knit group of students was as- sembled to produce the yearbook. This assembly of students taught Kar- en Montgomery to, get along with my partner Linda.

Also, I've learned that this class is really crazy. Some people thought that jour- nalism was an elite class of students hoping to blossom into overnight ce- lebrities. Such an idea was a mirage seen through the eyes of those who had not been exposed to the sixth hour class. Disguised in the eighth grade hall in Room 104 and instructed by the mild mannered English teach- er, Mrs. Brenda Young, the journalism class pulled together into a single unit of friends showing compassion to co- eds in need of a helping hand. Wayne Carroll felt this compassion was most apparent at deadlines. I love it when all the people help each other meet a deadline. It seems like they change at deadline time. Various students learned various lessons from enrolling in journalism. Journalism class instructed Michelle Johnson to: appreciate the work that goes into yearbook produc- tion. Also pertaining to this realm of varied interests were the reasons why students enrolled in journalism. Gwen Currens was fascinated with the art of photography and conse- quently she stated, I took journalism because I love to take pictures and this way I got a chance to. On the other hand, Stephanie Nesson, editor, wanted to be a good Samaritan and took journalism be- cause, No one else from last year would be back to help instruct the class, so I decided to come back this year. Then again there was the infa- mous reason why Lora Phillips took journalism, I thought it would be an easy class. stated Lora, What a joke. 124 Journalism Staff Rote adjustments are necessary to journalism accept the job of accounting as well as jour- students as Lorrie Darland and Tony Peavler nalists.

These students were enrolled in one of the following areas: business, health careers, auto- motive, welding, carpentry, and electricity. Some students found that the vocational school gave them an ad- vantage over others when applying for a job.

The topic of snow days was included in this category. Altogether students enjoyed eight days of benefits procured by this blissful white blanket. Some stu- dents felt that a few of these days were not exactly necessary. Karen Goodlett was one of these students. “I felt some of the snow days were wasted, Karen stated, but overall I'd say they were worth it. Under the recently enacted Ken- tucky state law pertaining to days missed due to weather problems, stu- dents have to make up all of these snow days. Thus, this moved the clos- ing date of school to May 29. Teach- ers, as well as students, found this rather frustrating. Mr. Charles McMurry often found this to be true, You can tell when spring has sprung because there are a lot more ab- sences. The frustrations accompanying the extended school year showed in students' faces. After many long days of tests and long nights of study- ing, that fateful day came and jovial faces were seen filtering out of the classroom and into summer vacation. Sporting his casual attire, Kenny Allen pre- pares himself for the warm days of spring. 130 Academics I'm only human, is the thought coming from Shane Coyle’s mind as the photographer catches him at his weakest moment, correc- ting a mistake in typing class.

A result of such generosity was the team winning third palce at the Boyle County Invitational. The girls won at Salvisa Days and Western Hills. Almee Tingle placed 2nd in the Cross County Regional. Asked if his team gave its all, Coach Donald Shupe replied, Yes, they are all concerned about what they are doing. With a new coach and only three remaining seniors; Todd Keys, Viktoria Bystrom, and Nancy Over- street, the team went through a re- building stage. The team had several elementary students that also partic- ipated during the season.

Instead of having two separate teams, the A team and the B team. Coach Linda Herndon united both into one pros- perous team. The Lexington Tennis Club was a popular practice place during the winter period. Instructors helped the guys on their troubled areas of play and gave them some useful tips. Soon after the chilled winter weath- er, the lads were back out on the court preparing for their 1987 sched- ule. Progression was a major asset in the team. Along with it came an un- wanted accident.

David Wade thought that a major improvement of the team was that, We are much more stable than last year, and our young players are coming along well. To be successful at playing ten- nis, the boys worked jointly and helped each other with their strat- egy. That meant putting in many long and strenuous hours of practice.

The entire team went to the Lexington Tennis Club and worked on improvements. March came and brought sunshine and the damsels moved pldy outdoors. “We have improved a lot. We are a lot more consistent, stated Lea Ann Waterfill when she was questioned on improvements of the team. Leslie Dean felt that, Everyone has improved in their own ways. With a coach that helped each individual, reform was just a step away. To take part in a sport, the par- ticipant must have patience, strength, and time; lots of time. So why put so much duration and effort into an activity? Rebekah Hendren replied, “It's a challenging sport and I enjoy it very much. When you're playing singles, you're the one who does well or makes the mistakes, but the tennis team as a whole is just one big family.

Coach David Buchanan talks with team members to find the best strategy to win the game A Considered to be a very impor- tant part of the Mercer County foot- ball system is the junior high football team. Without the program, many of the varsity team members would be spending their freshman year learn- ing the rules and techniques of the game. Although the junior high team did not have a very successful sea- son, it still allowed the players to learn the fundamentals of football and get some experience on the field before advancing on to the varsity level. We were a young team and we had a lot of seventh graders playing the sport for the first time, said team member Robbie Lunsford. Led by Coach John Slone, the eighth grade team produced a re- cord of three wins and seven losses. Even though the outlook was bad in the beginning with six straight losses, they took a big jump to three straight wins toward the end defeat- ing Lebanon 36-14. Shelby East 22- — Gaining Experience 20, and Danville, for the first time ever, 26-0. This led to the last game of the season which they lost to Lin- coln 8-14. Better than the junior high team, the freshman team completed their season with five wins and only one loss. Coaches Chuck Smith and Da vid Buchanan commented, The team has done exceptionally well. They have set high goals for them- selves, accomplishing many of them. They opened their season with a 20-0 win over Garrad County and ended dominating both Wash- ington and Boyle counties. The team left their season feeling very proud of their accomplishments. Five out of six schools we played had well established football pro- grams and our kids did more than hold their own, replied Coach Smith. Both the freshman and the junior high team held their own and took that first step.

Rebuilding Year Efforts 1987 was supposed to be a re- building year for the senior high foot- ball team. Instead, under the en- forcement of head coach, Larry French, the team went further than ever recorded in the school's history. We pull together, do the unex- pected, and find a way to win. I am proud to be a part of a team that does this, said freshman member Earl Pinkston. When practice began in late July, the team looked very small in size. There were eleven new incom- ing freshman but they had lost eleven seniors from the previous year. The expectations for the senior high team were not great; however, the team decided to show that it did not take a large team to have a winning team. After losing eleven seniors last Find a Way to Win! year we were predicted to win only one or two games, but we overcame the odds and surprised everyone, replied senior tackle Joe Travllllan. The team walked away from their season with the newly estab- lished Hog and Dog Fight trophy, a district and a regional champion- ship, and a 10-3 record. This year's team is probably more dedicated than last year's. They miss very little practice and have set high goals for themselves, replied Coach Chuck Smith. The success of this year's team is a team effort, added senior team member Shawn McGinnis. The whole team is working hard and it is starting to pay off.

Jamie Sew- ell is able to stop the opposing team from scor- ing. Rebuilding Year Efforts Find a Way to Win Continued When we started practice in July we were just a bunch of individ- uals, said senior tackle Jamie Sew- ell. But we all came together as a team. For the first time ever the team was able to defeat Paris, known as the “perinnial powerhouse. This gave the younger members a sense of achievement since this accom- plishment had never been achieved before. It was a great job by the en- tire defensive team, said Coach French. One aspect that particular- ly pleased me was the play of the freshman. They grew up in this game. There were times when our offense had a freshman at tailback, fullback. and a rookie at quarterback. The senior high team also domi- nated cross-town rival, Harrodsburg with a score of 22-19. “Our motto all year has been, 'Find a way to win', and we did, replied quarterback Dennis Davis, who intercepted three of Harrodsburg's passes. The team later defeated Berea 21-0. winning a district title. However, they could not have accomplished all of this without their team effort and the help of their coaches.

Senior High Football 145 MESS WITH THE BEST No Expectations .u o«n Send Fans Soaring High At the start of the season there were big hopes and great fears. The team had lost eleven experienced seniors and gained eleven inexperi- enced freshmen to take their places. Who would have thought that the team could excel so much. No one believed the team would do great but instead they did better than great, ending their season with a 9-3 record, a district and a regional championship, and only two games away from a state championship. The fans were very supportive. Local businesses displayed signs and ran advertisements in newspapers to support the team. The number of fans grew greater and greater with each game. Due to the size of the crowds at the games many people were forced to stand and watch. Nine bus- es had to carry the fans to the Henry County game, not including those who drove their own cars. Even members of cross-town rival, Harrods- burg Pioneers, went to support the Scotties. The fans came prepared with blankets, hot chocolate, and many other things to help keep warm, but the game was so exciting that no one seemed to notice the snow, sleet, and rain. Two more victories was all that was needed to receive a state championship. Unfortunately the team's year ended after being de- feated by Heath. For what was ex- pected, the team did an overwhelm- ing job in starting over, defeating the odds, and going further than ever re- corded in the school's history. Along with other teachers.

Setting Goals — All Winners in the Game of Life The young and inexperienced jr. high girls' basketball team encoun- tered much turbulence during their past endeavors. All other confer- ence schools are playing true eighth graders on their teams. We are using fifth, sixth, and seventh graders to play against them, stated Coach Debbie Coatney. With great effort and dedication the girls gained much desired know- how. We set a goal, Coach Coat- ney remarked, for the number of points we should put on the boards as a team. Determination and sup- porting each other is what made this team a great ballclub through their tough and competitive season. As for the seventh grade boys' basketball team. Coach Jerry Caton commented, Our seventh grade team had a great year and with a break here and there, could have ended the season undefeated. Los- ing to Danville Bate and Jessamine County in their conference, the lads showed great ability and aspiration. They are blessed with a lot of tal- ent continued Coach Caton, and if they are willing to work hard and play together as a team they will have a great future ahead. The jr. high eighth grade team showed a lot of improvement through the year. Our record in terms of wins and losses may not have been one of the best of all time, explained Coach Caton, but I can say Mercer County can certain- ly be proud of these young men as they all are and will be winners in the game of life. Participating in a sport or activi- ty, helps the athletes develop a positive self-worth, replied Coach Coatney when she was asked how her sport benefitted the athletes as individuals. Asked why he liked to take part in athletics, Randy Bugg said, It teaches you how to work as a team and to learn sportsmanship. With two knowledgeable coaches, and athletes willing to put forth the effort and time, these fac- tors combined to form the building blocks of future teams.

They must develop in the areas of self-discipline, self-deni- al, self-motivation, and self-sacrifice.

Coach Terry Yates stops for a quick shot. Better Players Tomorrow! Many people think of the junior varsity basketball team as just anoth- er group of kids having fun; however, few realize the importance of the team. It takes a lot of hard work and cooperation to make the team. It gives the players the opportunity to learn and push themselves to be the best team and team player they can be on and off the court. The team started conditioning with the varsity team several weeks before practice began. This helped the players to be in shape when practice did begin in mid-Septem- ber. This also helped the team to end their season with an outstanding re- cord of 14 wins and 8 losses. Some players feel that the J.V. team prepares them both physically and mentally for the pressures of playing on the varsity team. We do not play junior varsity basketball so we can count the number of wins and losses. We play so that we will be prepared to contribute to the varsity program. Our junior varsity program is designed to develop talent and that is what we are most interested in, replied Coach Terry Yates. With his eyes on the goal.

Well prepared was right; the Girls' Varsity Basketball team ended their regular season with a re- cord of 21-7 and ended their entire season with a record of 25-8. The girls usually practiced five to six weeks during the summer, includ- ing playing at a team camp and a summer league. During the season, they practiced about five or six days a week from October 15 to March 15. Thoughout the season the team was able to become the annual Lady Keeps the Ball Rolling Scottie Christmas Tournament cham- pions, district champions, and run- ners-up in the regional tournament. The win over Pulaski County was our best win. It put us into the regional fi- nals and it was a game in which we had to win or the season was over, said Coach Kidwell. The girls worked very vigorously to achieve their victories. They only lost one game which they were fa- vored to win. Coach Kidwell replied, I am very proud of this team for their accomplishments and the hard work they put in to obtain their success. They are all fine representatives of the school and community.

Our sched- ule is a tough one, commented Coach Gary Lawson. We are playing nine of the top ten rated teams in our region plus competing in three strong tournaments. During the season, the team beat the Harrodsburg Pioneers and the Burgin Bulldogs three times. The Scotties also won runners-up in the Ft. Harrod Clas- sic, CKC tournament, and the district tournament. The crew went to first round action in the Green County in- vitational and the regional tourna- ment.

Jerry Reaps Rewards Grugin felt the improvement was the team's attitude has gone from being selfish to playing as a team. We have a mature team that realizes that playing together is the key to winning. Troy Young believed that We have grown closer as a team and as people. Participating in a sport is very time consuming. So why do athletes like to join in such recreation? Shan- non Murray liked to participate be- cause, basketball is a very challeng- ing sport and I love challenges. Troy Young loved basketball because it was a game of determination and heart. Asked if he felt he was prop- erly rewarded for his time ond work put into the sport, Eddie Davis com- mented, You work as hard as you can and when there is a home game there is hardly ever a full house. But, Chris Mayes felt that participating in any sport is a reward in itself, and, besides the glory it often bestows, basketball is exciting. With great technique.

Towering Framework Leads To High Goals When one thinks of competitive sports, cheerleading probably does not come to mind; however, cheer- leading is a very challenging sport and is an important factor in other sports. It takes much time and prepa- ration to learn pom pom routines and new cheers. The Scottie cheerlead- ers began in March for tryouts and then prepared themselves to attend the NCAA Cheerleading Camp in July. After returning home from camp, the squad took a three week break before starting practice for the upcoming seasonal sport and the many cheerleading competitions that the squad would be participat- ing in, practicing until March when the routine starts all over again. The Boys' Varsity Cheerleaders competed in the top eight cheer- leading squads at camp. They placed third in a three-way tie in the YMCA Regionals and seventh in the YMCA State Competition. At the Fort Harrod Classic they placed first and at District competition they were run- ner-up. The girls have worked very hard to attain these goals and those who make the team next year will continue to lead on the Scotties. Boys' Varsity Cheerleaders 165 Front Row: Shannon Bradshaw.

Things were very difficult for the Girls' Varsity Cheerleading squad af- ter losing their captain to the Boys' cheerleaders and picking up a new member to take her place. After a lot of hard work, the squad was finally able to get into the swing of a normal season. Since the Girls' Cheerleaders only have girls' basketball to cheer for, they generally help out the Boys' Varsity team at home games during football season. This not only helps out the Boys' squad, but it also pre- pares the Girls' squad for the up- coming basketball season. The girls attended the NCAA Cheerleading Camp at the University of Kentucky. They were the winners in the District Competition and they competed in Regionals and the YMCA Regional Competition. My re- ward is watching the girls work to- gether to become a better squad, and knowing that they care about each other on and off the court, re- plied Rita Bugg who has been coach- ing the Boys' and Girls' Varsity Cheer- leading squads for the past three years.

Sarah Wilson Third: Tonya Daugherty Not A Group But Almost A Family The junior high cheerleaders stood behind their 7th and 8th grade teams all the way this past season. The cheerleaders had a strenuous year due to the fact that the season never really ends. As soon as one sport is over it is time for another to start. With a new sponsor and several new additions to the squad it made the challenge more exciting. Since this is my first year spon- soring, I'm just learning about their ta- lents, stated Miss Malissa Stlglich, and they seem to improve at every game. With sixteen members on the squad there was a need for new uni- forms. To raise the funds for the ex- penses, the cheerleaders sold chances at a field goal worth fifty dollars. Miss Stiglich felt that the season went quite well. They have learned how to work together-becoming not only a group of girls or a team, but becoming almost family. Up in the air, Tonya Daugherty displays her ability as a leader and gets her fellow class- mates ready for the activities ahead.

When spring arrived many stu- dents felt the end of the school year and school activities coming to an end. however, for several students it was just the beginning. Instead of singing birds and blooming flowers, spring brought with it various sports such as golf and soft- ball. in which students could partici- pate. It also carried with it snow, which canceled the first eight softball games of the season. Girls' softball practice began at the end of March and lasted until the district tournament was over. Every game played was a double-header, so the girls had twice as much work to do. The girls ended their season with 9 wins and 14 losses and were runners-up in the C.K.C. Tournament.

Debbie Green discusses with Mrs. White the lastest news on the Beta Club. Beta Aid Even though the requirements for joining the Beta Club are to have a 3.25 grade point average and have good character, the club finds itself with a large membership. The club participated in several different activities, like car washes to raise money for the Kosair Children's Hospital. The club also took up Thanksgiving and Christmas offerings to give a needy family a basket, and sold candy to raise money for other projects the club had planned. The club attended a convention in early December where Emily Burks gave a speech. When asked how the club provided a better atmosphere of fel- lowship for its members, Mrs. White re- plied, I'm not sure that we do. ex- cept for having the same goals of service and scholarship. Working on wreaths for the club, members like Tamra Prlddy and Julie Noel find ways to enjoy their time together. (Row 1) Travis Devne. Sheila Vaught. Tamra Priddy. Anessa Moberly. Mrs White.

In the summer, club members served as ushers for the local outdoor dramas and attended the Leader- ship Training Conference. The service projects included sponsoring a child through the CARE program, having blanket and clothing drives, serving at the Gideon's annual banquet and assisting with the academic compe- tition at the elementary school. In the fall several members par- ticipated in Kentucky Youth Assem- bly, where Emily Burks served as Chief Justice of the Model Surpreme Court, and Van Ruby was recognized as the outstanding lobbyist at the conven- tion. At KUNA, the club was recog- nized for having earned the Triple A award, the highest honor bestowed upon a club by the YMCA for one year's work.

Sweet- heart dance, Halloween costume contest, collected non-perishable items for a needy family, went Christ- mas caroling, put up a Christmas tree in the lobby, and helped the Co-Ed Y. The members also helped the jour- nalism class a considerable amount by checking to make sure everyone in their respective homerooms name was spelled correctly. The student council made a con- siderable amount of changes.

They also had the music turned on in the cafeteria for the students to en- joy. With all of the news about drugs and abuse of drugs, the student council set up a Drug Awareness week for the week of April Twentieth thru the twenty-fourth to help stu- dents realize the seriousness of the subject. When asked what she hoped the students learned or gained by being a member of this club, Mrs. Peavler also said, I hope leadership and its subsequent responsibilities along with cooperation and a wider focus on people other than those in just Mer- cer County. The club could have definitely been defined as helping out throughout the year.

Moving In With the number of enrolled fe- males increasing to 10%, more girls are joining the field of agriculture. When asked what she thought about girls participating in agriculture, Dav- ette Baker said, Ag is something I'm Interested in and enjoy. I just hope the guys realize that more girls are getting involved in the field of agri- culture and I hope they learn to ac- cept it. On the other side of the coin Jamie Dunn replied, I think it is great for girls to be in FFA, if that is what they want to do — just as long as they get involved and do not think it is just a class to goof off in. So gentlemen need to prepare them- selves, the ladies have moved and are continuing to move in. The FFA sponsored numerous events throughout the year including a new MORP dance also sponsored by the FHA. The MORP, the spelling of prom backwards, gave the students who do not like to dress up to go to dances a chance to enjoy them- selves while dressed in the attire of blue jeans, boots, and T-shirts. The FFA also sold candy and stripped to- bacco for other money making pro- jects. The FFA played an important role in the daily life of students not just here but all over the nation. Judging sheep. Joyce Cox, partakes in nu- merous club activities including the office of sentinel. FFA 185 Hard Workers The harder they worked; the more they achieved. The National Honor So- ciety had to put forth a great deal of time and effort to maintain the grade point average that was needed to join the club. Several students were dropped from the list of members, due to the fact they were unable to keep their grades up throughout high school. There was no need to worry because about the middle of the year the Na- tional Honor Society had their induction ceremony during an assembly and sev- eral new members joined the club. They were not the only ones who worked hard to achieve greatness for the school. The Speech Club also stri- ded for awareness from the school by practicing after school and competing at tournaments. At these tournaments individuals and small groups went up against others to show their ability to perform or speak. Both clubs showed their ability to strive for their goals. The harder they worked the more goals they achieved through the school year. Speaking to other classmates during the induc- ting assembly. Sheila Vaught and Anessa Mob erly show their part in the club. Students like Marie White and Angie Herring en- joy the cookies ond drinks, during the induction reception. (Row 1) Mrs Noel.

Janet Baker and Tonya Bast show their in- volvement with the club, by helping out during a Parent Teacher organization meeting. Taste Teasers The scent of the delicious food traveled down the hallway, tempting those who were near. The question - from what direction was the scent coming? Was it from the Future Home- makers of America, a club whose members, besides making meals, found time to collect for the Arthritis Foundation and raised money for the needy at Thanksgiving and Christ- mas. Mrs. Charlotte Driskell, sponsor, said the club provided a better at- mosphere of fellowship for its mem- bers by “having relaxers (games) at club meetings, having a hay ride and weiner roast. and many other activi- ties. Or is the scent coming from the Lunchroom Committee, who also spent some of its time cooking for the school. They not only cooked, but they planned the meals for the menus, had taste tests, ordered food, and worked a day in the lunchroom kitchen. Skills learned in the classroom helped them in the club. “They can also learn practical things they can use later in life, said Mrs. Kramer. Both clubs used their knowledge in foods to help in the school. (Row 1) Gwen Curror� , Sara Durr. Sarah Byrd. Tammy Byrd. Tonya Tylor. Amy Prewitt. Km Stinnett. Dovtd Moore. Shannon Murray.

David Waterfi Differently Alike They truly were different, the purpose of the club, the activities of the club and the importance of the club. Yet, they were alike in one per- spective. The clubs were there to better inform the students about life. The Sr. High Science club, en- abled its club members to learn im- portant facts about people or jobs in the town. This was done by having several speakers during club meet- ings. A few of the speakers were Da- vid Ransdell, a mortician from a local funeral home; Vance Smith, the phar- macist from the Fort Harrod Pharma- cy; and Mrs. Tiggle, the dietician at the hospital. The club did not have a lot of activities planned, but one trip they did take was to the zoo and a museum in Louisville. When Mrs. Mari- anne Davis was asked how impor- tant she felt the science club was to the school she replied, the club is im- portant to the school, because the members learn something new at ev- ery meeting ' The FCA club also helped its members gain more knowledge. The club activities or goals were to do- nate to the state association project fund. The money raised was used to establish huddle groups and the Bible Outreach Program. When asked what reward he got for being the club sponsor, Mr. Terry Yates replied, My reward is from observing the per- sonal growth and commitment it takes to be a true member of the Fel- lowship of Christian Athletes. Mr. Yates also felt his club was potentially the most important club at MCHS because it represents a way of life and gives its members a chance to share this life with others. FCA is a club that could have a life- time impact on its members and peers. Even though the clubs differed, they each helped the clubs learn im- portant things needed in life. All the members of the FCA club, gave their di- rect attention to the speaker David Buchanan during a club meeting. During an activity of the FCA. the members present Joined to take a picture for the Harrodsburg Herald. FCA 191 Foreign Achievers In the past, both the Spanish Club and the French Club have had their usual initiations. The traditional initia- tion of dressing up in Mexican cos- tumes and singing during lunch was the Spanish Clubs. On the other hand the French Club chose not to have an initiation this year. As one of the club members said, Now we find that such practices are primitive and somewhat childish. After all, there's not much culture in such practices. Both Clubs planned special events to help needy families or visit- ed patients in the hospital.

French 193 New Addition Each club had new additions concerning the class and the club both. For the Choral club, the leaving of former teacher, sponsor, and friend. Mr. Gay O’Banion, who had taught at Mercer for thirteen and a half years, was a great disappoint- ment. Expressing her feelings for the absence of Mrs. O'Bannion, Tiua Chil- ton replied, I learned alot from her. From learning how you pronounce words properly to reading music. She took us to many places to partici- pate in music related activities and it was a lot of fun and we'll miss her. To fill her shoes, Mrs. Vicki Bell stepped in. Mrs. Bell took over and did a very good job of replacing Mrs. O’Banion. The Choral club had a party dur- ing the year and the chorus attended many different activities. The Art club meanwhile, had a positive addition. The new, longly awaited art room was finally built and completed. It included more space for the students and a place for the kiln. The art room was greatly appre- ciated as sponsor Mrs. Twana Patrick stated, It's wonderful! I've been wai- ting for this the whole time that I've been working here. The Art club also had a skating party, sold flowers, and had their an- nual art show. All in all, both clubs enjoyed their new additions. (Row 1) Loco Phifcps. Nancy Overstreet. Stephanie Combs.

On the Job Training These two clubs were not like any of the other clubs in the school. They dealt with the industries out in the world. Being a member himself while in college Mr. Donald Shupe, knew what was needed to make a very special club at the school. When he was asked how important the IASA club was to the high school, Mr. Shupe replied, the club is important be- cause it helps to support industry in Although Cherrl Sell is the only female in the IASA club, she doesn't hesitate to help Mr. Shupe clean the new dust system Having several responsibilities throughout the school. Mr. Donald Shupe still finds time to be the sponsor of the IASA club. Mercer county. This club not only supported industry, but it also helped the members plan their futures. Some even found jobs in the fields that they had visited. The club did not have many activities planned except a community clean-up. Not only did the IASA help its club members prepare for their future, the VICA also taught its members real job training. Some activities the mem- bers did during club and class time was to go through business proce- dures, and set up future competi- tions. One guy involved in the skills competition was Mark Freeman who took pride in his abilities. One of the requirements to join the club was to be either in carpentry, auto mechan- ics or electricity. Each club better informed their members about the job world, and some of the skills that were needed to obtain their goals. 196 IASA (Row 1) Mark Russe«. Edde Solee. Tm Robnson. Rory CJck.

VICA 197 The Strivers Striving for the best, that is what these two vocational school clubs strived for the hardest. The FBLA whose members had to be serious-minded and eager to work to join the club, spent several hours of the day learning to build their knowledge of the business world. The FBLA club was very important part of the vocational school. It provided a better atmosphere of fellowship for its members, by being such a pro- ductive club, it gives a person a feel- ing of self-worth and sense of belong- ing. We always give each member a chance to express herself in order to achieve these feelings of impor- tance, said Melanie Brogle. Yet they weren't the only ones; the HOSA club also strived for excel- lence. They helped out at the hospi- tal three days a week and took food to the Rainbow house. When asked if the club members gained anything from being a club member, the presi- dent Melissa Hurst replied “yes, you gain leadership and responsibility. It gives you an opportunity to work with others and do good things for the less fortunate. Both clubs helped its members gain knowledge they'll need in their future. Completing her daily work on the computer, Melanie Brogle works to prepare her for future jobs or occupations. (Row 1) Melarue Brogie. Harriet Green. Me fanda Perkns. Kely Prewitt.

The Jr. High Co-Ed Y spent much of its time doing special activities for others. One such activitiy was giving money to the Jones' family in a time of need, and another was supplying a needy family with a Christmas food basket. Mrs. Brenda Floyd believed the club was important to the school because it is helpful to the Jr. High since we do help with things like re- freshments and decorations for the Jr. High dances. Even though the clubs had differ- ent requirements to join, they both raised money to help needy families. The Jr. Beta Club raised two hundred dollars for a needy family at Christ- mas. The Jr. Beta Club is also impor- tant to the school because not only does it perform a service to the com- munity, it promotes academic excel- lence. It encourages our seventh and eighth graders to strive for and main- tain excellence, said Mrs. Betty Short. The requirements to join the Jr. High Beta club were to have and maintain a B average and admira- ble character. So just because they were youn- ger didn't mean that they were the under dog.

When asked how this af- fected the club, sponsor Mrs. Leslie Peavler said, It is difficult to go on field trips because of the large num- ber of members. But having a large number of members definitely had its advantage, such as knowing that many students are interested in the club. The club also made their annual contribution to the Cancer Society and had a number of speakers throughout the year. The junior High Student Council may not have been the largest club, but their activities kept them busy which prepared its members and the rest of the junior high for the upcom- ing high school years. The council helped Mr. John Slone with Career Day in April where they brought in professionals from different areas of life to show and explain all the hard work that goes into building one's own career. They also helped Mr. Slone with an “Awareness Week . It was held to help the students who may have problems in the area of drugs, alco- hol, and teenage pregnancy. The council rewarded the A and B honor roll students with a breakfast and praised the A honor roll members for their performance with a pizza lun- cheon. Both clubs kept students busily engaged with community and school activities which included a number of speakers, and hopes for the future. (Row 1) Angie Byrd. Mchoel Gammon.

Among the achievers, Tricia Bugg used her ath- letic ability to represent her school in the All-American Cheerleading Competition. Over Christmas break, Tricia went to Hawaii to cheer in the Aloha Bowl football game. Tricia said of the experience, ... it has helped me to be able to try out for a college cheerleader. In order to finance Tricia's trip to Hawaii, the cheerleaders sold chances on a country ham, and also sold festive and colorful leis. Tricia's cheerleading career began eight years ago, during fourth grade. For four of those eight years. Tricia has attended cheerleading camp at the University of Kentucky. Tricia described the agenda: We go and learn cheers and then compete against other schools. At camp this past summer Mercer was chosen as one of the top eight varsity squads. Although Tricia will no longer be a high school varsity cheerleader, she is planning to cheer for the University of Kentucky. Evidently she has got SPIRIT!!!! As she displays her cheerleading uniform from the Aloha Bowl game, the smile on Tricia Bugg s face makes it apporent that she loves to cheer whether it be in Hawaii or here at home.

Truly Dedicated A special ceremony took place at the Mad- son Mercer football game to dedicate the base- ball field to Mr. Amos Black. Mr. Black served as as- sistant baseball coach for a couple of years and then he was named head coach and served for 28 years. He also coached football and basketball and served as the first athletic director. When Mr. Gerald Lister had been asked why Mr. Black was chosen he responded, A number of people recommended to the Board of Education that Mr. Black be honored by the school community for the years of dedication he gave to the baseball program. It was appropriate to name the baseball field after him because this seemed to be his first love as a coach and he spent the most years in this sport. The people who made this recommendation to the Board knew him and liked him very much. Anyone who followed the sports program or had been a part of the sports program, knew Mr. Black. He is friendly, outspoken, and a colorful man. Mr. Lister said. Due to the years he was dedi- cated to baseball and characteristics of the man himself make the decision a correct one. Everyone can tell this dedication is an honor- able one.

The National Merit Scholarship commit- tee chose only a few students, and selected Da- mon Preston as one. Damon scored high enough on his PSAT test to become a semifinalist. By completing a series of applications and scoring an equally high score on his SAT exam, Damon may advance to a finalist. Out of 14,500 finalists, the committee chose 6000 scholars. From test scores, activities, etc., a committee awarded scholarships ranging usually from $1000 to $2500. When asked about his reaction upon receiving the news, Damon answered, I was ecstatic! I couldn't believe that I had done it. Looking at my score, I didn't think it was quite high enough. It was the best academic news I had ever received. Damon also had some advice to give other students on scholarships. “Take it seriously. Don't walk into the room to take the PSAT or ACT exams half-asleep and not prepared. Do not wait till the last minute to fill out the application. Standing in the library. Damon Preston displays pride after recogni- tion by the National Merit Scholarship foundation.

All people express themselves in different ways. Some students sported shaven heads as an expression of outrageous individ- uality. When asked for the explanation of his actions, sophomore Brandon Robins said, I wanted to be dif- ferent. Others did it for the sheer enjoyment of being like their idols. Shane Powell’s reason for shaving his head, I saw some football player on TV so I decided to try it. Teena Murphy clipped her hair “to see if everyone would like it. Naturally, criticism strolled along with the brighter aspects of these students' fame. They all paid no at- tention to the snide remarks made by some others. Said Teena, “I figured everyone would hate it. They freaked out at first but then they grew to like it. “I expected mixed reactions, stated Derek Horn. “I'm suprised that my parents didn't make me sleep in the dog house. In the words of Derek, “I cut my hair to please myself, They all agreed, however, that this outrageous hair style is only a passing fad.

Board of Edu- cation, Frances Caton simply replied, As far as be- ing the first woman named to this position (as chair- person), I haven't really given much thought to it. I hope to be remembered as a good, dedicated Board Chairman and not just the first woman chair- person. The major role of the Board Chairman, according to Mrs. Caton, is .. moderating the Board meet- ings, signing documents, and acting on behalf of the Board. Mrs. Caton replaced Marion Britton as chairman, when he chose not to run for re-election in November of 1986. Index 231 Devine. Angie - 73. 178. 190. 191 Devine. Eddie - 140 Devine. Jeff - 64 Devine.

Both the boys' and girls' teams were led to winning seasons, with thanks going, in a good part, to the eight sen- iors. The girls' varsity won twenty-five games and lost only eight. During their season, they also won the Lady Scotties Invitational Tournament, the District Tournament, and were runners-up in the Central Kentucky Conference Tourna- ment and Twelfth Regional Tournament. The boys' varsity team won twenty-one games and lost ten. The boys captured runner-up title in the district and in the Central Kentucky Conference Tournaments. Whatever paths the eight seniors, (Jerry Grugin, Troy Young. Shawn McGinnis. Shannon Murray. Becky Buchan- an. Chris Mayes. Eddie Davis, and trainer. DeWayne Short), decide to take, they will undoubtly be leaders and winners as they were in basketball. index 233 Laymon. Damian - 43, 128. 201 Leesburg Gor. Farm Supply - 215 Lewis.

As one of the only twenty-five programs choosen through- out the state, the Mercer County Chapter I program averaged a 13.8 on the National Curve Equivalent, over twice the statewide average of 6.7. If Mercer County receives national recognition for its achievements, it will serve as a model of com- parison for other Chapter I programs around the country, as well as around the state.

He now is entered in a national competition in horticulture. He is also in- volved in the Future Farmers of America, but perhaps his most important project is starting a horticulture therapy program at Cardinal Hill Hospital in Lexington. Delynn's interest in Cardinal Hill goes back to Sep- tember when he was in a car accident and went through therapy at Cardinal Hill. In appreciation, Delynn has decided to help start a horticulture thera- py program to help Cardinal Hill patients in their reha- bilitation. His 4-H club is also interested in helping him start the program. They are donating plants, seeds, and fertilizer for the program. Yavarone, Monica - 25, 28, 29, 30. 95 Yeager, Garnie - 102 Yeager.

Gradually, stu- dents settled down, teachers got their rooms decorated to their taste, and other teachers moved into the new complex of classrooms. The overall impression of students, concerning the entire school year, were varied. On one hand, Tony Peavler felt that “it's been fun, because I only come when I feel like it. In opposition to him, Crystel Arnold felt that it had been “a ho-hum year. For the most part, everyone appreciated the new classrooms and the new academic opportunities. For Seniors, May meant the end of their secondary schooling and the beginning of a new life. On the other hand, for underclassmen, it meant that they had to return next year for a whole new construction project. All realized that the road to success is always under construction. The new classrooms were put to good use. These art students tho- roughly enjoyed their new and better equipped facilities. School began to take its toll on all students. Eric Davis, Chad Beasley and Robbie Lunstord clearly demonstrate that school is not the in place to be as far as they are concerned.

Prom preparations for Todd Taylor are far from complete With a few added touches, he became as ravishing a beauty as Cinderella Preparation for the Prom became very tedious as the day drew swiftly nearer Kim Goodman contributed her time and patience by blowing up the balloons used as decorations. As usual The Harrodsburg Herald printed a senior issue in the newspaper Journalists Lorrie Darland and Lora Phillips gather information about the future plans of graduates. Closing 239 Slavedriver Now we have come to the end of journalistic con- struction. This yearbook will, hopefully, be treasured for many years. Much hard and tedious work went into the development and production of this “Under Construc- tion yearbook. The publishing company remained Walsworth. Mr. John Stanko helped the staff organize the cover design of this yearbook. The typeface used was the same as last year, Avant Garde. Besides the artwork book, much of the artwork was done by our own Lora Phillips. Photographs for the vari- ous occasions were provided by the Danville Advocate, the Harrodsburg Herald, Graham Studios, Georgian Stu- dios, and Logue Photographers. Much thanks to all of the above. I am very proud of the hard workers with whom I toiled on this yearbook. The yearbook staff is proof that cooperation pays off. I am glad that I had the opportuni- ty to work with such a cooperative staff. I would also like to take this opportunity to say goodbye to two-year sponsor, Mrs. Brenda Young Those of us returning to the staff will miss you. A very inexperienced Stephanie Nelson takes on the task of editor for this Under Construction yearbook. She had to leorn by trial and error, but enjoyed the experience. Mistakes begin to take their toll on second yedr advisor, Mrs. Brenda Young. The staff was made up mostly ot beginners, but they learned quickly and worked well with Mrs. Young Cooperation and hard work were two very important factors in suc- cessful yearbook production. Stephanie Nelson asks for Mrs. Young s opinion on an idea for division page design. n 240 Editor’s Page WAUWOHTM miUsHllxo COMPANY MARC KLINE MISSOURI « •%� Construction Workers nr 1 2 CM 1 1 1 II II 1 1 II II 1 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Editor: Stephanie Nelson z Advisor: Brenda Young Student Life: Crystel Arnold, et, al Classes: Michelle Johnson, Wayne Carrol, Gwen Currens Academics: Karen Mont- gomery, Linda Gaddis Sports: Karen Goodlett, lO Tony Peavler Clubs: Angie Taylor, Tiua — Chilton Ads 8c Index: Lorrie Darland, Lora Phillips, DeWayne Short Photographers: Gwen Currens, Tiua Chilton, DeWayne Short 2 L 91-91- nz Zl H- Ot 6 8 L 9 S £ l 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 II 1 1 1 1 1 wo Z If 1 1 aw - 'dt
