In years gone by, the closing of a school year has been met with happy thoughts of summer vacation, the chance to rest and have fun, and in a few months to rejoin friends in the adventure of a new school year. This year, however, brings the sobering realization to seniors that they cannot repeat those ex- periences of this year. They must leave these times behind them. | wonder how | will feel as | hear the latch click (closed) on my locker for the last time, knowing that with it closes a phase of my life. | wonder how many times | will recall the secrets shared at these lockers, along with laughter, tears, joys, and fears.

Some of the teachers’ attitudes have changed with them having strict policies. During the years the participa- tion in sports has been fairly high. This year it has decreased a lot. In the years to come we hope that Parry McCluer will keep giving us all they have.

After all of the hard work and waiting, the time had finally arrived. The class of '87 received their class rings on October 4, 1985. The traditional ring dance was held. The air was full of excitement and impatience. Everyone was talking and laughing and having a good time. If was about 8:45 and Mrs. Floyd started After getting her class ring, this Junior girl flaunts her ring for her classmates. passing out fhe rings. Everyone was looking at everyone's ring and saying, ‘Oh, isn’t yours pretty!” The dance ended at 11:00 p.m. and everything got quiet at PMHS. This was just another turning point in their lives.

This contest pertains to a few boys who will get up in front of an audience in swimwear, casual, and formal at- tire to be judged on poise and charm. A person may ask why someone would do this sort of thing, but every year a number of courageous yet crazy boys will show their school spirit and help support the yearbook by volunteering.

Aaron Zdinak placed fifth while Lee Dobie placed fourth. Jeff James was awarded third place. The runner up was Davy Simp- son and the title of Ugly Man ‘85 went to Greg Gardener. Charlie Gardener Ugly Man '84 was present to crown the winner.

One day everyone was dressed as movie stars. Prince, Cyndi Lauper and countless others paid visits to the school. Another day it was like a time warp. The halls were filled with greasers, poodle skirts, bobby socks, and white t-shirts.

Then the invasion of the kids occurred. Little children running around with toys and baby dolls. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

The parade started on mainstreet and ended at the ball field. Onlookers were surprised to see the sophomores’ unique “‘float’’ which was actually a horse and carriage. The actual Homecoming game was not that ex- citing. The Blues took the lead early in the 1st quarter and marched themselves to a victory over the Natural Bridge Rockets.

Creatures Juvade PIAS On Halloween Day, the students came dressed as ghosts, goblins, witches and some came as their own self. The SCA held a costume contest for the ugliest and scariest persons. The winners of the contest were Miss Alvine and James Shafer. Through the day teachers handed out candy hoping their houses and vehicles would not be egged by some of the students. The halls and some rooms were decorated with bright orange and dark black to repre- Showing her spirit, Junior, Kristi Byers is one of the few who dressed up for Halloween.

During relaxation Halloween Day, the library and hallway outside the library was covered with students and teachers waiting for the judges to pick two win- ners. They waited anxiously for the decision and finally they were announced. The other participants were not mad at the decision but they were glad that they ‘could participate in the event.

The team asvanced to the second regional game against Drewry Mason only to be handed a 5-2 heartbreaking loss. The season was very successful and the Blues placed three members on the All-District team. Thsese members were pitcher David Simpson, centerfielder Craig Thomas and third baseman Charles Higgins. The team gathers together to congratulate senior Joey Clark for a score. As Kevin Horne from Lexington tries his best to get senior David Simpson out, David slides to keep his position of first base. Varsity Baseball 31 Once again, both the girls’ and boys’ track teams were small but spirited. The boys’ coach, Mr. Preston Evans, pushed each boy to reach his potential. Despite its size the boys’ track team had par- ticipants in virtually every event. In addition to excellent individual performances, the boys’ mile relay team had a superb time of 3:39.7 by the end of the year.

The team worked hard and gradually improved. Three girls ran in the regionals. Track is a unique sport, in that members of both sexes practice together; however, this aspect on- ly added to the team’s character. The young men and women alike endured Saturday practices and the unseasonably cold track meets.

Perhaps the golf team does not receive the recognition it greatly deserves due to the lack of understanding of the sport. The definition of golf states; game played with a small hard ball and a set of clubs On an out- door course with 9 or 18 holes. The player tries to hit the ball into each of the holes in the fewest possible strokes. On the high Golf is a sport that requires concentration. Vince Hinkle gets very serious about his next putt. 38 Golf school level of play, each partici- pant competes individually. However, the individual scores of the players are added together to arrive at a team score. Unlike football or baseball, the team with the lowest collective score is declared the winner. This year the golf team boasted a record of 15 wins and 4 losses. The team had two = senior members: Vince Hinkle and Jeff Shafer.

A highlight of the season was the district match in which the PMHS golfers ranked second, miss- ing the district title by only two strokes. Jeff Shafer and fellow team- mate Vince Hinkle qualified for the regionals. There, Vince shot an 87 while Jeff shot an 84. Had Jeff scored an 83, he would have qualified for the state.

For many years the prom was held in the high school gym with many decorative works, large crowds and many good bands. This year the Junior-Senior prom was successful with its new location. The theme was ‘People in the Park’’ with the song, “Say You Say Me.” The band Charisma played and put on a nice performance. After the prom the SADD organization held many events throughout the night. The first was a movie at the cinema with the showing of Pretty in Pink. Next, everyone moved to the American Legion where Z- 100 played the latest music and those who attended danced the night away. Last of all before everyone went home to spend his Sunday in bed, some of the students had breakfast in their homes for other students, which turned out to be very successful. The night was a momentous occasion, as the students made this Junior-Senior prom a memory not to be soon forgotten. Performing at the Jr.-Sr. Prom, Charisma plays the theme song ‘Say You, Say Me.” It was sung by Pandora Dixon.

It was a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony honored by a special song sung by the class, ‘'Friends’’. Yes, we'll miss the great times, but we'll miss the friendship and fellowship even more.

The Seniors won the first pep stick at the pep rally, but despite a little outbreak there was “no rise’ for the Seniors. We had to walk in without any applause. The teaching staff this year has had fun with the Secret Pal pro- ject. Many teachers are very suspicious as to who their pals are. They have been getting very nice gifts and will never find out who they are from.
