We live our lives as best we can Although at times they seem To quickly pass before our eyes And fill us with regret. We must not doubt our precious gift And strive not to forget Those whose lives had ended before they had begun. The laughs, the loves, the dreams of life ... Without regret, and guilt, and strife. Make each moment pure and bright. We all must part But we all unite. Kim Martin 18 Seniors Only Seniors know who Shelley Keats is.

Freshman and Sophomore years behind Senior year is now in mind. 87 Sophomores; Here’s To You This was the year when everyone got involved in school activities, clubs, and spirit contests. It was a year of new experiences to add to the old and a year of hardwork for sophomore class officers Marcie Pumphrey; President; Nadeen Wyndham, Vice-President; Patti Keene, Secretary; and Amanda McKinley, Treasurer; Sophomores won many of the spirit yells and cheered their J.V. Football team on to a 7-1 record. This class was a spectacular group and they proved this through their loyalty to Pa- latka High. They showed they really care about their school. They get better each year. Class of 84, you’re a class like no other.

Along with advancement, however, came the pressures of more difficult courses and decisions. Still, sophomores took it all in stride—tak- ing pride in their achievements as a class as well as individuals. The election of class officers was an important event at the be- ginning of the year and immediately atten- tion was focused on raising money for prom and grad night of their senior year. And now at the close of the year sophomores continue to look forward to the challenges of their junior year. Michelle Fair and Mindy Riddle believe sophomores should stick together.

They were Laurence Wolfcn- den, vice-president; Randy Lar- gacci, secretary; Tancc Rob- erts, representative; Leonardo Miller, treasurer; and Jason Bailey, president. The class of “85” started their high school years off with a bang! 110 Freshmen ANXIOUSLY AWAITING ANEW YEAR On Monday August 24, 1981, Palatka High School opened the doors for its fifth year. Approximately 500 Freshmen encoun- tered Palatka High for the first time. For many it was an excit- ing, confusing, and sometimes frustrating experience. There were new people to meet and new rules to follow. They had to get used to a whole new routine. Enthusiasm showed in freshmen faces.

Palatka High’s next top name among a healthy group sure to be highly recruited a year from now, junior cor- nerback Jarvis Williams, made a thunderous hit in the secondary and the ball popped free. Recovering for the Panthers was another one of those juniors in the defensive backfield, Ricky Mulberry, on the Riviera Beach Charger 45- yard line. On the second bark of the signals by sophomore quar- terback Clifton Reynolds (57 yards on five carries), he stepped back, and pivoted, moving down the line where big Willie Tilton held his own at the right tackle position. Reynolds broke free and outraced a stunned Riviera Beach secondary to the end zone from 40 yards out. Coach Lyle relieved for end of sea- son. (2) Jeff Trump scrambles for lost ball.

The Palatka coaching staff had said quietly all week that the game could be much easier than most expected, because they felt Riviera could be pinned up at the line of scrimmage. After those first few plays, the visitors never were able to . get off the Poor of Veterans’ Memorial Stadium, packed beyond its capacity with a crowd estimated at close to 6,000. The Panthers made short work of the South Florida Chargers to close out any real comeback hopes before halftime, by scoring on each of their next three possessions. Safety Mike Brown, the only starting senior in the secon- dary when John L. Williams wasn’t in there, came up with the big play on Riviera’s next possession. He roared into the backfield undetected to drop Hunter for a nine-yard loss. The Chargers two plays later, despite coming up with a 15 yard gain on a pass play, punted the ball back to the Panthers. John L. Williams (144 yards on 18 carries) blasted up the middle for five yards, Darryl Oliver (40 yards on eight carries) raced off right tackle for 15 yards, J.L. Williams scrambled off left tackle for 15 more yards, Joe Brinson (59 yards on 10 carries) blasted up the middle for nine yards and J.L. Williams blasted through for 12 yards before Riviera Beach’s defense realized what kind of wishbone attack they would have to try and stop and (Continued on Page 13) 131 Homecoming Is that really she?

The week preceding our Homecoming game was indeed an eventful one. Many people par- ticipated in the activities, freshmen for their first time and seniors for their last. Monday was cartoon day, giving students a chance to dress up as their favorite comic strip or cartoon character. Tuesday was 60’s day and students portrayed the flower children of that decade. Wednesday was tourist day, the school was full of white-legged tourists clad in bermuda short. Back to tradition, Thursday was Black Day, and Panthers mourned the death of the soon to be departed Sandcrab's. That night we held the Panther Prowl, skits and cremated the Sandcrab’s coffin. Friday was of course, Blue, Gold, and White Day, school spirit rose high as students predicted the Panthers victorious Homecoming. Ava Seaney was crowned Homecoming Queen ’81 and Panthers won our Homecoming Game 49-0. (1) Lemon Nixon yells encouragement at the play- ers. (2) Players study before a game.

It meant a lot of time and hard work put into one year. From the very first day the work began and it was nonstop until the book was completed. Things were hectic for Horizons staff this year because a lot of changes were made. There was a new advisor, new staff members, and we worked with a new publishing company. There were a lot of new ways of doing things and many things to learn. But with much patience and many changes, the book started rising and contin- ued to form our Horizons! 185 STUDENT COUNCIL COUNCIL ADDS LIFE Bottom row, L-R: Tedra Beckham, Susan Weigel, Lisa Gornto, Tammy Baxter, Mr. Charles Jenkins, spon- sor, Row two, Randy Largacci, Row three: Leonard Miller, Jason Bailey, Cindy Williams, Penny Engle, Tance Roberts, Stacey Yeomans, Nadccn Wyndham, Patti Keene, Marcie Pumphrey, Kim Parker.

At PHS we have an abundance of opportunities to meet students. We might share the same classes or maybe some other school activity. Just going to the same school is enough to bring us together and make many lasting friendships. Friends help make our lives each day a little easier. It is always great having a friend you can share good times and bad times with. Being a friend isn’t the easiest task in the world. Being a good friend takes a lot of patience and under- standing, it also takes a real good ear. We all have that special friend who is willing to share good times and bad. PHS is a wonderful place to begin lasting and meaningful friendships. 194 The Pops Ensemble performed at the Palatka Mall at Christmas. The Pops Ensemble has some great musicians backing them up.

Now you can only wonder what the future holds for you and those who became so-close, better known as your classmates. Years from now as you look back, these secrets will have unfolded yielding the victories, the defeats, the good and the bad, and perhaps you'll ask yourself many times this question; If I had it to do over again, would I follow the same trail? Time and experience will be the best teacher you ever had. How good a student you become is entirely up to you. We might suggest several checkpoints that can be of great help to you: Never commit any deed that when looking in a mirror would cause you to be ashamed of the person you see. Always do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Never be too busy to con- stantly provide friendship and love to your family and friends. Always carry a deep respect for your parents and honor them in all ways. Never depend upon yourself, but on your Father in Heaven who saw fit to put you on this earth. Remember His Son, for this lonely Man upon the cross reflects a love that our Father has for us that fathoms in its depth of all logic and understanding. Remember, it is never your reputation that you are to protect, but this Man, God's Son, which walks constantly beside you. Give to him your false pride, ego, frustrations and temptations, and peace will be your constant companion. Remember that in truth, you will never own anything upon this earth, for all things belong to Him, and we are simply trusted to utilize these assets as He so directs. The rewards for this obedience are tremendous. Never forget what your source of power can be when you place total reliance and trust upon this Man. We at Management South, are a Christian family. Our work is an everyday pleasure. We wish you the same and ask only one thing; as you step out into a new and wonderful world, accept the challenge with an open heart and give to it a mighty effort worthy of the name which your earthly father so proudly honored you with. Never quit and never be afraid to stand up and be 270 P.

You might find yourself on many occasions alone, but you shall not lose. You shall be substained and there shall be a joy in your heart that no mortal man can destroy, and in the winter of you life when you have climed the mountain of trials and tribulations you can look down upon this world and be proud of who you are and all that you have become. God bless everyone of you and may His love and that of Jesus Christ always light your path and guide your thoughts until the end of time.
