Hewett Studios from Tucker. Georgia, took the pictures again this year. Students reported to the auditorium when their homerooms were called, and yearbook staff members assisted the photographers in collecting money and keeping the records. Class pictures arrived about a month later. Sen- iors had their portraits made in June, but any seniors who missed the June sitting had their pictures taken in October. The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) was given at Newnan High School on Saturday. October II. 1980. SAT scores provided college boards with a balanced scale for college acceptance, eliminating the problem of varying academic backgrounds of college applicants. Although the SAT was a standard measure of abilities related to successful academic performance, the student's actual high school record still served as the best evidence of his preparation for college. Miss Cox. French and English teacher at Newnan High School for the past three years, was awarded a French Govern- ment Teaching Assistantship under the Fulbright Program of the Institute of International Education for the 1981-82 school year. One of twenty women selected from applicants from throughout the United States. Miss Cox will teach English conversation and American literature and civilization to stu- dents between the ages of fifteen and eighteen in a French lycee. In addition to teaching. Miss Cox will attend university classes. The Fulbright Program, authorized by Congress since 1946, promotes mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other counties by giving U.S. students the opportunity to live and study in a foreign country for one year. i 1 o § C 2 3 27 19 81 Cynthia Elaine Abies Christina Lee Adams Douglas Allen Adams Margaret Virginia Alford Precilla Ann Alford Benji L.

For three days, teachers gave the comprehensive tests during extended class periods. One-third to one-fourth of a student’s grade for the semester was based on the semester exam; therefore, he had to study (or cram) to make a good grade. One of the greatest moments in anyone's high school career is the time in his junior year when he has the opportunity to purchase a class ring. A representative from Balfour came in October to give the junior class information about ordering their rings. The rings, which arrived in March, gave their owners the dubious distinction of being almost-seniors. Seniors of Newnan High School were invited to take the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) test on November 25 and 26. Through this test students became ac- quainted with vocational-technical careers that they previous- ly were unaware of. The test also served to encourage stu- dents to consider future vocational job opportunities that did not necessarily require post-secondary education. On September II, 1980, about one hundred parents and ad- ministrators gathered at NHS for a drug education program featuring speaker Dr. Martha Keith Schuhard of PRIDE (Par- ents’ Resources and Information on Drug Education). Dr. Schu- hard delivered facts and statistics related to teenage drug use in the nation and Coweta County. The program signified the beginning of a parent-community effort to prevent drug abuse. Sponsored by Dr. Pepper and Z-93 to aid the Atlanta Retard- ed Citizens Foundation, several clubs at Newnan High School participated in Yellow Ribbon Day on October 4, 1980. Yellow Ribbon Day. an annual affair in which schools and clubs from all over Georgia took part, netted a total of $1495.42 from the Civinettes, Anchor Club, Keywanettes, Key Club, Honors Club, French Club, and DECA Club. The PSAT NMSQT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test- National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) was given to college-bound juniors and sophomores at Newnan High School on Saturday, October 25. This test measured verbal and math- ematical skills that were related to successful academic per- formance in college. The PSAT NMSQT is a pre-test to give students an idea of how well they will do on the SAT. Juniors in the top-scoring range qualified for the National Merit Scholar- ship. At the beginning of each school year, Newnan High School held Open House for parents of NHS students to meet their children's teachers and to find out what their children were studying. The 1980 Open House was held on September 23. Mr. Cunningham made a few opening remarks; Mr. Spear introduced the teachers; and the chorus sang before the par- ents were dismissed to go to homeroom. Mr. Jenningsand Beta Club members directed parents to class. Parents in study hall enjoyed refreshments served by the FHA in the cafeteria. 63 CLASS OF 1983 Veronica Alford Gregory Arnold Gwen Arnold Dwayne Aycock Monica Baker Cedric Barber Leon Bolton Calvin Boyd Linda Bridges Billy Brown Chris Brown Joy Brown Marcus Brown Carla Burgess Marilyn Bussie Kim Buttrum Arlene Caldwell Greg Calhoun Felicia Cannon Chris Carlyle Alicia Carrol Chris Carter Eural Cash Tracy Chattam Richard Chavez Kenny Cheeves Angela Clenney Belinda Colton Rick Comstock Rodney Congo Martha Cook Forrest Copeland Randy Cox Marty Crawford Brenda Crum Carrie Cunningham Darin Dade Trade Dailey Shonda Darden Lisa Douglas Tammy Driver Ward Duncan 64 Cindy Gibson Glenn Green Angie Grice Robin Guy Terry Haack Janet Hall Rita Hall Ray Hammond Lisa Hancock Kathy Hannah Darrell Harris Patrick Harris Chris Haynes Ray Head Victor Horsely Ronald Horton Tracey Houston Dell Houze Willie Howard Christopher Howell Stephanie Howers Horace Irving John Irving Walter James Greg Jeter Regina Jeter Janice Johnson Lucious Johnson Rochelle Johnson Shandra Johnson 65 PHOMORES SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORES SOPHO Wanda Mauld Wyvonne McCauley Gary McClain Sylvia McGinty James McGouirk Janice McMahon Randy Luckie Carlass Mack Paula Mapp Bevelyn McRae Torsha McRae Earl Mitchell Gary Mitchell Alisa Morris Connie Morris Keith Morris William Moss.

She will continue high school for two more years when she returns home, even though she was ranked as a senior according to our school policy. Because of the differences in school systems, my classes were interspursed with both junior and senior courses. Some of the harder courses, such as physics and anatomy of change were on my schedule. Junior English, taught by Miss Andrews, was one of my two junior classes. I also had American history, a junior course. At one time I had a third period study hall, but like many of the of the students at Newnan High School. I found that there was too W much time left on my hands. Interested in knitting, cooking. and other domestic chores. I chose to spend ipy extra time, in home economics class. I am extremely pleased-yitfi ny-dgcision to take home economics. Recently on a trip I discovered that to many r N oys the ide 3il wife must be a good cook. Eeva grinned with her big Finnish smile. Eeva left the United States in August, and she said that she will take home with her many happy memories of her time in Newnan and at Newnan High School. 68 IN MEMORY Christopher Allan Jackson June 1980 Charles Nobel Blair June 1980 Willie Bernard Anthony Hayes October 1980 Charlotte Ginger Rogers October 1980 Jay Lewis Lindquist October 1980 v ; .

Later in the year the club wrapped gifts from the Salvation Army and distributed them to nursing homes. The most outstanding event of the year occurred when the club organized the Scottish Rite Hospital Walk-A- Thon and raised over $3.000.00. Other activities of the year included a sweetheart social. Mass-Trash pickup, yellow ribbon day. and flag raising. The year was memorable one. and the members of the Anchor Club were proud of their contributions.

They went on an art field trip to Calloway Gardens, and on a camping trip to Unicoi State Park for studies in photography, drawing, and painting. They also had parties, guest speakers, and attended various art workshops. 77 The Beta Club participated in many activities this year. They raised funds through candy sales at the beginning of the year, and participated in the Mass- Trash pickup during the football season. The club held flag raising and ushered at the school's annual Open House. Among the projects the Beta club did annually were the teacher luncheon and Newnan High School's Christmas program. As service pro- jects. they decorated the teacher's lounge during Christmas, made stockings for Christmas in New- nan. provided refreshments for the teachers during Christmas, and provided new book shelves plus a donation to the special education classes at Newnan High.

They were Lori Baxter, as Lieutenant Governor, and Valerie Brown, as Sergeant-at- Arms. Civinettes were involved in many activities during the year. Two of the Statewide activities were Tag Day and Yellow Ribbon Day. The local projects the club sponsored were a safety talk to the children attending elementary schools, a turkey dinner to a needy family for Thanksgiving, and a party for students at Open Door School at Christmas. The club also participated in Mass-Trash Pick- Up. sold candy, and went to convention held at Panama City. 79 Cougar Chronicle The Cougar Chronicle played an intrigal part in school life during the 1980-81 year.

The junior class float won second place in the float competition. The sophomore float won third place. Oth- er entries were the freshman float and the various clubs that entered the competition with decorated cars and trucks. 97 Although it was a cloudy day that threatened a downpour, the annual Homecoming Parade took place on October 24. Hundreds of people came to see the exciting procession of floats, band, and homecoming representatives. The theme for Homecoming 1980 was ''The Time Machine.” The Homecoming pep rally was an exciting event. Every class was bursting with the energy of the occa- sion. During the pep rally, Mr. Peryam, Mr. Zauner, and Mr. Coleman sat on blocks of ice to find out who was the coolest” teacher. Also during the pep rally, the football players and their sweethearts paraded around the gym. The sweethearts each recieved a carnation.

Beth Cauthen. and Tracey Proctor were accompanists} Mrs. Baxter, assisted by Willie Strong, also served as con- ductor for the pianists. Louis Brown accompanied on the guitar. SENIOR DAY Senior Day at Newnan High was a day to remember-a day set aside by Mr. Cunningham to recognize the class of 1981. After second period the entire senior class was released from classes to go to the football stadium for lunch and recreation. After finishing their lunches, most of the boys divided up into two teams to play softball. Other groups had games of volleyball and fris- bee. One large group began to dance to the records that several seniors had brought just for dancing. At 1:30 the seniors were officially released from school. The Class of 81’ had had its day. Maybe for the first time these students realized they were seniors-this was the beginning of the end. JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM On May 9,1981. the junior-senior prom was held at the Shenandoah gym. The prom theme was Stairway to Heaven. and many of the juniors enjoyed decorating the gym around this motif. Surrounding the room was angel hair and in the middle of the gym was a giant stairway that seemed to reach to the sky. The setting was just the thing for the girls' long dresses and starry-eyed looks and for the boys in their tuxs and shiny shoes. The Junior class had hired Little John, from John’s disco, as a disc jockey. At the front of the gym there were disco lights and a stereo system-all conducive to a festive mood. ; THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1981 This is always a delightful occasion for those of us on the school staff and we are pleased to share this single occasion with you, as this event is the hallmark for serious achievement of our school year here at Newnan High School. This program represents the highest goals of application and achievement that are strived for in our educational program. You students were invited to participate in this program because you have demonstrated one or both of two important qualities. First you are seen as outstanding in Academic Performance. You do well in school. You take your studies seriously. You achieve. The second quality that we recognize in you is the potential for leadership. Leadership takes many forms and almost defies definition. But we can say this: It is positive direction toward progress. Leadership means a positive attitude; it means being willing to take a stand for what you believe; it means trying to influence others to work or move in a positive direction. Very seldom is one accorded recognition without there being a corresponding responsibility. What is your responsibility? To use your God-given talents and abilities in the best way you can. And do not focus solely on yourself. Be an example, in the classroom and the community, of a person trying to help others and trying to make the most out of life.

The theme for the 1980 FHA fair exhibit was A New Look for Old Favorites: Operation Recycle.” This exhibit featured such ideas as changing maternity clothes into regular gar- ments and altering pants legs from flare to straight.

On, Dance.’ called the right jolly old Santa played by a Newnan High Beta cluber. The club’s rendition of the traditional favor- ite. Twas the night Before Christmas.” was a side-splitting presentation that sent the students on vacation in high spirits. Drew Hill Day” on March 20, 1981, recognized Drew at the pep rally because of his outstanding performances as a New- nan Cougar. In honor of his past accomplishments, Drew’s old jersey-Number 22-was retired. A picture of Drew, painted by Maragret Alford, was placed in the field house. Drew has recently achieved fame on the professional level playing for Los Angeles Rams. To complete the day, the FHA decorated the cafeteria for the afternoon reception and made identification pins for ev- eryone who attended. One of the highlights of the week during football season was the pep rally that took place every Friday before a home game. Cheerleaders led the pep rally with cheers and chants. Coach Bass always had a few words to say about the team and about crowd participation at the game. The dance line, color guard, or majorettes gave a performance at each pep rally. Class competition was taken out of the pep rally at the beginning of the year because of competitive noise making.” On February 19. 1981. the Drama Club sponsored a donkey basketball game to raise money for future plays and presenta- tions. This event was one of the highlights of the year. Many clubs and groups participated; for example, the cheerleaders. Drama club, band, the Newnan Fire Department. Newnan Po- lice, Rotry, and Kiwanis clubs. Between each game small chil- dren and others who were afraid to play in the games rode the donkeys. In September 1980 the DECA Club had a car wash at the First National Bank’s parking lot. The club raised over $100 which was used for breakfasts, banquets, and other general activi- ties. This event marked the beginning of another tradition for the DECA Club. Every morning at 8:30 before homeroom was the flag raising ceremony. Each school club, including the athletic depart- ment. participated in the ceremony. As the flag was raised. Joe Chappel played revely as the clubs, students. Coach Bass, and Mr. Cunningham stood at attention. On December 15. 1980. the Student Government furnished a Christmas tree for the main lobby of the school.
