It rides on memory, the synapse on edges spiraling, on the edge of a wing, of a creature, Colored with imagination, hope, exultation and awe. Dreams ride on the endless w ings of the imagination. that knows no boundary nor edge of a simple horizon. Education lives in the simple belief in a phoenix, A responsible dream on wing.

It is the source of all true art and science.” — Albert Einstein efining the edge . Academics “The world would be better and brighter if our teachers would dwell on the duly of happiness as well as on the happiness of duty, for we ought to be as cheerful as we can, if only because to be happy ourselves is a most effectual contribu- tion to the happiness of others.” — Lord Avebury 6 Opening Al Mulberry Senior High School our goal is to be the best we can possibly be. Part of that goal is getting an extra edge on the competition. We strive for the best! In i 5 years we ve come a long way. Mulberry has grown in size and stature. Academically, we have more than once gained recognition for the great student minds attending our small school on the Hill. “To know that we know what wc know, and that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.” — Thoreau Opening 7 n the PULSE - JQUIUtfe Friends, Faak and Fun Friends, fads and fun add color and spark to life. Without them, everything would be black and white, like old pictures. Although friends may lose touch, and fads may fade, the fun may be over, the memories stay locked in our mind's eyj md with a glow in our hearts. In the 1920s the “in thing” to do was wear long fur coats with felAats. knee length dresses, and ostrich feathers in hats. This was the Jazz Age and its music was its biggest fad. fl l 950s the hottest item was rock and roll with its strong and fast beal Kidswore lns, full skirts, and penny loafers. Today, in the 1980s. bright colors and music dominate the scene: Gotcha are the biggest fads and it’s cool to act like a surfer, even if you Opening 9 10 Opening Just like the many facets on a diamond, there are many sides of life that mark the typical Mulberry Senior High student. The ever present in the mind Friday night is a part of a typical student's anticipatory life. The entire week is preparation for the all-important weekend. It's crammed full of movies, music, dancing, dating, wishing you were dating, hating the fact you are dating, (especially when that perfect 10 walks by). The Diamond Life is spar- kling with possibilities and promises of more fun as the years roll by. Driving adds a new dimension to a Saturday night and the shimmering highway beckons for you to explore the neon night.

The mark of style is seen in fashion, but there is the fine line, thaljbdundary that demarcates the emergence of a presence: an entrance that causes everyone to turnj|jS vatch. Many students at Mulberry Senior High School have a real flair for fashion and the nning of the school year is a textbook to the latest and the greatest fads that are in vogue. Television and movies influence and are reflected in the mercurial movement of fashion, but many fashions are home-grown concoctions by talented and creative young people on the move to ex- press their individuality. € •'. j.r Fashion 13 Change and Permanence Leaves fly slowly in the grip of, gravity. A slow swirl and flutter of time. Caught between the moment of descent, and the moment of arrival. A transition of transcendence. Colored change and renewal of sorts. The seasons pass, change, return anew. There is a gentle rhythm of familiarity. Life flows, ebbs, changes and . . . The swirl of the double helix continues. The endless continuum of green life, new life, changed life. Seniors become graduates and the junior becomes the senior. Shift, change, shift, change. The tree goes through another year. The tradition stays rooted in time. It is the face of dreams that changes, the seasons of learning. Opening 15 nticipations . . . is a certain trepidation associated with graduation. The long wait to receive that diploma is sobered by the understanding of a certain severing with a time and place and the entering into a new perspective and commit- ment. The future seems so close and alien, but in a few years time will hurtle along in a manner that transcends stopping or regrets. This section enters a tangible sampling of a specific point in time. There are the eager and youthful faces of the future frozen for permanent analysis. The point in time is contingent upon the dreams made permanent. Pictures echo possibilities frozen in time. Life allows the future lo always point into an infinite direction forward.

The class of'87 is comprised of achievers, but this is also one of the hallmarks of all the graduating classes at M.H.S. since its inception. Extraordinary student involvement in academics has put Mulberry Senior on the map with stu- dent commitment to the SSAT 1 and II with above average scores each year, but another hallmark of commitment is seen in the varied pat- terns of after-school activities and club activities. When asked to define excellence. Jeff Kwak ex- claimed. “excellence is starting to begin your life; graduating.” xcellence 24 Seniors Anita Steele Rhenda Taylor Sheri Taylor Sandra Tucker Julie Prine Michael Reboy ras Christine Rivers Bart Ross Valarie Rourke Juliane Rowe Dana Sanders Robert Sanders Jeanette Sargent Kathy Sherotski Faye Smith Michelle Smith Terry Smith William Smith Katherine Sparks Hopeton Staple Seniors 25 Senior Superlatives MOST SCHOOL SPIRIT Troy Goodin and Cindy Clemmons BEST SENSE OF HUMOR Darren Peters and Teresa Tullis BEST DRESSED • Louise and Louis Morris Michael Todd Theresa Tullis William Tyson Jimmy Vickers Kennith Waechter Tammy Walker Frank Waller cademics If I have succeeded in my inquiries more than others, I owe it less to any superior strength of mind, than to a habit of patient think- ing.” — Sir Isaac Newton The class of 1987 will be ending a year of dominance at M.H.S. and entering the often anonymous world of the college campus or the work world, or the armed forces. Expectations and an- ticipations for the future are fused with the knowledge gained from school experiences and from the influences from myriad sources. It will be the culmination of these dreams that determine the force and fruition of the future for these graduated seniors — graduated into the world of responsibility.

And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim. Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads to way, I doubted if 1 should ever come back. 1 shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by And that has made all the difference.

With that under the proverbial belt, the only chore ahead is passing your classes in preparation for . . . your JUNIOR year!

Freshmen enter Mulberry High School with fears and dreams and the usual big expecta- tions. High school is the next step into the future . . . into the outside world of choices and respon- sibilities. We wish the freshman class much success as they venture forth in the years ’88, ’89, ’90!

His enthusiasm, creativity, vision, dedication and erudition have given Mulberry Senior High School its mark of orginality. Each school has its own particular flavor that is a combination of faculty, students and ad- ministration, but there is that one intangible element that sparks the whole into a memorable entity called a school. This ability to meld all the disparate elements together so they communicate together creatively is the keynote talent of this gifted man. WORLD LEARN — dedicated to Charles “Doc” Harrison A visceral kick . . . learning on the edge of creativity, The planets arch above and clouds share a neverending horizon. Seas churn with Galapagos rich growth and volcanic quickening. Music surges, minds unite, the skies fly open with a cutting edge, a fist raised in triumph, voices raised in sure measures, vectors of vorticed movement and Leonardesque unity arch above. Vision, reality, creative momentum, rings of light and spheres of dark, a constantly turning scherzo of upward movement, growth . . . Learning on the white wing of a dove searching for land. Conviction on the pulse of a lifted feather. Anticipation of the incomplete moment that becomes, Completion of that which existed in memory and now becomes. Reality . . . unity, sure measures and an expanding arch above, in a universe that knows no boundary. tntrtQtf 4e6 td eetdem6c One of the most eventful and exciting times of the year is Spirit Week. People participate in costume days, sock hops, bonfires, pre and post game parties and all the excite- ment that spells Spirit Week. You can always tell a great deal about a school by its student involvement and the traditional homecoming preparations and celebra- tions show M.H.S. spirit shining through. Spirit 81 SPIRIT SPIRIT WEEK 1987 |;t? MOVES ON... Spirit Week is always filled with unexpected surprises. “Cousin It” and the great struggle during the Homecoming Game by the Panther Football Team were just two of these moments. As always, the Homecoming Parade was a suc- cess. Thanks was extended to area businesses and school clubs for their assistance. Despite the results of the Homecoming football game, the winning Homecoming can- didates made the evening worth remembering. The memories of this 75th Anniversary Spirit Week will always be ones to cherish. 75 YEARS LATER: 1986 . r.«fc«W.

A TRADITION CARRIED ON from generation to generation of Mulberry's students shapes the mood and enthusiasm of 1986-87. Spirit Week involves a great deal of hard work and planning on the students as well as the teachers’ part. Classes are disrupted and students come early to school and stay after just to make Spirit Week the best week of the entire year. Good nntra and tori kopa are onr and the unr Spin!

The football stadium was teeming with dressed-up couples, excited parents, and the obligatory seniors from graduated classes mingled in with present students. Homecoming had been precelebrated and anticipated anxiously for the preceding week, and students expected the game night to top everything that had gone before. The day started off with the parade of floats through Mulberry with the Homecoming Court riding on the Senior class float. There was an air of excitement in the crowd Friday night as they watched their Panthers fight the Cardinal Mooney Cougars that reached its climax at half-time when the Homecoming Court marched across the football field to stand in front of the bleachers as the band played “Suddenly.” The R.O.T.C. also participated by displaying their expertise by twirling rifles as a salute to the candidates as they walked by. The crowd held their breath as the announcer called off the names of the winners. As 2nd runner-up to king there was a tie between Danny Yarborough and Darren Peters, as 2nd runner-up to queen Angie Gentry. As 1st runner-up to king Troy Goodin, as 1st runner-up to queen Beth Echols. Finally, as king Tony Anderson and queen Louise Mor- ris. Half-time ended with a burst of applause, shouts, and congratulations with flashing cameras all around. Though the Panthers lost their Homecoming game to the Cougars they still played the best game they could. Their efforts were shown through the touchdowns they made and their attitude of not giving up and of fighting till the end. Good going Panthers! Homecoming is more than just winning a football game it is the spirit of pride the students have towards their school and their athletes.

OMECOMING CELEBRATIONS When the gun goes off and the kicker sends the ball sailing through the stratosphere, it marks the beginning to the end of the Homecoming celebra- tion. The excitement, win or lose, filters through the entire community as the biggest event of the year. The game itself is solely responsible for the festive week of crazy costumes and parades. This one game is the single most important game for players and fans alike; the Super Bowl of every high school team’s season. Homecoming is the paragon of teamwork, with twelve players on the stage, better known as the gridiron, doing their collec- tive best. 90 Homecoming The final gun lo Homecom- ing marked the end of the season. For Senior players it marked not only that, but an emotional end to something that was a part of their life for so long. Even though a few will pursue college football careers, nothing will stand out in their minds like the final game of their High School days. Homecoming is a special time in the lives of everyone.

Ninth graders and seniors all have a voice in the planning of activities for the 1986-87 school year. One of the major events of the school year revolves around the plans for homecoming. From the bon- fire to the order of the floats in the parade, students and the advisors have their hands full with the small details that give homecoming its polished touches. The Talent Show is one of the great fundraiser events that Student Council participates in during the year. It is a positive reinforcement for students’ feeling good about being involved as it showcases their talents while helping raise money for various school needs. Another service is the school store and assistance during student registration. 96 Student Council Officer 1986-87: Shannon WiUon — Sec., Karen Keiaer — Sgl. Arm . Troy Coodin — Pres..

Many different kinds of events take place throughout the year for the club. From rallies to car washes, an NHS member is always busy. Even though the club holds high standards for admission, it has over thir- ty students on its member- ship list. That says something great about the school itself when it can hold such a good academic record. NHS reflects bright reflections on the future, as many of present members will go on in life to become just as suc- cessful as they are in high school.

A CLUB IN ITSELF Kiyokaju Watanabe is this year’s Mulberry Senior High exchange student. He is from Japan. Kiyo as he is af- fectionately called, is sixteen years old. In Japan, he lives with his mother, father, and two sisters. His sisters attend Oraka Music College and will become music teachers. Kiyo attends Okashi Technical College in Japan. He said that it is a nice school, but the classes are difficult. Kiyo’s dream has been to come to America in order to learn English. He thinks that English is a wonderful language and upon leaving America, he hopes to be able to hold a full conversation with Americans. Kiyo enjoys karate and holds the title of a black belt. He is outgoing, kind, and respectful. We, at Mulberry Senior High, hope that ac- complishment in learning English proves to be a dream come true. A thanks to Mrs. Bullard for her hospitality to Kiyo. Good Luck. Kiyo. and welcome to America! Clubs 127 PANTHERS Throughout the year, band is an important facet in the spirit and energy of Mulberry High. In Pep-Rallies, as- semblies, you name it; none of them would be the same without the musical selections provided by the mighty Mulberry Panther Band. The Band, an ensemble of ex- cellence, is a group of fifty people who enrich our school through the notes of music. Lo Rra . David Hunt. ChHa Hur.«. km Wafab. Claay Kirkland.

The students of D.C.T. are involved in activities on the local, district, and state levels. On the local level they give luncheons for the students and attend field trips to different businesses. They also attend district and state conventions. The year is topped off with a banquet honoring their employees. DCT Officers 13S Surpassing Excellence Athletically speaking . . . MHS outdid itself again. From a district win in volleyball to the ranking of players in Florida’s Football All State. Two examples of Mulberry’s outstanding athletes are Kirsten Dun- phey who was chosen for All-County Volleyball and Matt Christ, who was chosen for All State and All- County Football. ........II llllllllll ::n:: ||iiiiiiii iiniiii T1 HE CUTTING EDGE OF THE GRIDIRON The 1986 football season was marked by the loss of 18 seniors from the year before. Nevertheless, this year’s team showed sportsman- ship and an infinite supply of heart. Head coach, Vic Smith, says, “The Panthers will be back!”, and all coaches feel the foundations have been laid solid for the future. “The young men played every game hard and with a lot of emo- tion,” states Coach Smith with evi- dent pride in his players. The year’s shortcomings cannot be allowed to overshadow the way about which each game was attacked mentally, as well as emotionally, by each team member. Coach Smith adds, “The attitude was great all year, and every player stayed with the program from start to finish.” The bright side of a young team is that, with time, inex- perience will turn into a well- seasoned group of veteran athletes that will undoubtedly dominate the football field. With luck, and talented new players, it is not unlikely that soon, a championship team could arise for the Big Blue and White; players and coaches alike are op- timistic on that point. Possibilities are limitless with the kind of pride the team has for itself. Motivation is also a serious factor on the outcome of the battles waged on the gridiron. Players sturggle through the endless hours of practice, not for money or fame, but because of their desire to play the game of football. Each player’s flight down the path of self- improvement is dependent upon his sincerity and attitude towards his team. The figures which play the most important roles, as instructors, motivators and even as guides down the path of improvement are the coaches. The team is absolutely dependent on the spirit of its coaches, of which Coach Smith ex- presses his greatest gratitude. Throughout the 1986 season, pride shined through the efforts of the team. Spirit left no team Mulberry faced unimpressed by the tenacity of our little school. What’s more. Mulberry leaves a message for future opponents; look out, you’re in “Pan- ther Country”!

A WINNING TEAM Cheerleaders have always been sterotyped as air-headed, fragile girls who are afraid k clap their hands because they might break a nail. Well, the 1986-87 Mulberry Varsih Cheerleaders definitely break the mold! They are an extremely hard working group 0 young women who know what they want to do and work together as a team to achieve thru goals. Of course, they have their share of ups and downs but they always pull through as a unit whether it be mocking criticism or physical injuries. The squad attended the National Cheerleading Association Summer Camp this past sum- mer in Tampa at USF. The squad earned numerous blue ribbons and a highly coveted prize: the Spirit Stick. Some memories from camp include getting up at one in the morning to learn a cheer for evaluation (Cissy wouldn't get out of bed!), the captain lost her dorm key. Tracy and Kelleigh fought for their icies, french-braided hair, wrist braces. Kandis and WiUie (Do A Fwip!), and that SPIRIT STICK!!! Top lo Bottom, l-r. krllngh Kxum. Shrlia Davis. April [)av .

This competition is far more than attractiveness. All can- didates must sell a quota of calendars and ads for the calendar. They are then interviewed by a panel of judges selected from the community. This year’s judges were Mr. Jim Reagle from Sacino’s, Mrs. Sheryl Broadnax, manager of Colony Shopes, Mrs. Diane Tate, manager of Fashion Bug and Mrs. Virginia Albert, director of the Virginia Academy. The interviews stress poise, impromptu responses to questions deal- ing with self-concept and appearance. After the interviews are completed the final pageant promenade takes place in the auditorium.
