Ab to know that someone is concerned with your health, I think Parker has the unhealthiest student body in town, especially on Monday and Friday. If the nurse in the clinic ever starts charging patients, she can make enough money to build a hospital. I guess everybody isn't sickly. As a matter of fact, a few people are so healthy that they could withstand cold temperatures long enough to have a Parking Lot Christmas Celebration. I've never been to one myself, but I heard that some uninvited guests crash those kind of parties anyway. The guests are usually members of the Administration and the City View Police Department. Their complaint is that students cut classes too much to have parties. I don't think cutting is that much of a problem though. Since the fence has been put around the parking lot and gates put in the halls, a guy has a hard time just getting in school let alone trying to get out. Once in a while we get out for pep rallies and assemblies. The pep rallies are held only during football season. I asked the coach why and he mumbled some- thing about basketball being a minor sport. I think that's crazy. Why, I look forward to basketball season because once it's over its not long til spring. CASUALLY walking to the office, Dean Sommers, far left, takes a brief break from class. BEHIND every dogwood there is , . . Parker High School, left. AMONG the many added attractions at Parker High School are the uncovered pipes, top left center. HAROLD B. Kay, northwest area superintendent, of Greenville County Schools, bottom left center, laughingly jokes with Mrs. Fannie Laura Simpson. JOKES are popular, expresses senior Ronald Davis and Jane Durham, bottom left, before the tardy bell rings. 9

L A X J l think Parlters a pretty nice place soinetirnee. Theres usually plenty ot action. We have pep rallies occasionally and tires sornetimes twice a rnonth. l can rernerntier coming to school halt-asleep one morning and waiting up in a hall tull ot water: Besides the minor' catastrophies l loolr 'forward to things like band concerts, the lvliss Parlfer Pageant, and the Spring Show. The aeseinldlies this year have been pretty good, too. At the Valen- tines Day esserntnly, sorne ot my 'Friends and I put on heart-printed underwear and did a take-ott on a TV show. The Cabinet named our Show 'love Parlrer Style, The only had thing about it was trying to get ail that rouge ott rny cheeks. Ut course, l don't always like school. l the urge to go home some days, especially when the heat isntt vvorlring. Ut course, sornehody above said tor us to put our coats on it we were cold. I guess that means that noldody goes horne troni troethite. Sornetirnes l have to thinla ot new methods to get out ot school. Once l tried to pull one over on the nurse, hut she said that it l had a tennperature ot 10716, l didn't have a prayer anyway. Theres really nothing wrong with school, it's just the principle ot the thing. l guess Parkers a pretty good place to get in on some action. MISS Grace Hiott, cheerleader sponsor, lett, takes time to t'chat with cheerleader Debbie Batson before the game. STUDENTS, right, wait patiently while fireman tight tire in the main building.
