Junior and Underclassmen Officers Play Vital Role in Pushing For Increased Spirit and Student Involvement Each year twelve students are elected to represent the underclassmen of Patrick County High. Execution of the duties of these offices requires outstanding leadership skills, and strong personal qualities. Each class elects a president, vice- president, and secretary. These three of¬ ficers are responsible for promoting in¬ creased class spirit, organizing various ac¬ tivities, and representing their class to the school or community when the need for representation arises. Each staff of officers must work with the class sponsors to organize all class meetings and all class elections that must be held. Perhaps one of the most enjoyable duties for which the class officers are responsible involves their participation in the annual events during Patrick County High School Days. The class president selects team members for each competition throughout that week and serves as captain of each team. The officers are also on hand during the competitions to rally for team spirit and accept recognition for winning teams. As a junior class officer, the duties in¬ volve a great deal more work and respon¬ sibility. Juniors participate in a large scale money making project to raise funds for the Junior-Senior prom. Juniors sold cases of M M’s to raise a net profit of $ under the direction of class president Patty Lewis and Glenda Martin, class sponsor. Patty and her fellow class officers appointed a com¬ mittee to plan and organize the 1981 prom. The standing committee included: R.D. Howell, Ann Guynn, Penny Keith, Danny Thomas, Sandy Baliles, Lisa Reynolds, Olivia Roberson, Adam Martin, Kevin Younger, Hazel Cockram, Duane Hylton, Debbie Cochran, Kim Burnette, Carolyn Harrell, Timmy Bowers, Laurie Thigpen, and Mary Lou Stroud. Patty served as the chairman at the regular meetings held prior to the Prom. This was the first record of students taking such a responsible roll in the planning of this even t in the history of Patrick County High. Sponsors play an important roll in assisting the officers in making decisions and advising their actions. Many class of¬ ficers find that sponsors who work closely with the staff of officers become their friends for future years. Together, these teams of students and faculty members can accomplish much for the school, for these are the leaders of not only now, but the future years of our school. Melody Epperson, Vice-Pres., and Lura Fulcher, Pres, of the Freshman class join forces to hold up a lonely oak tree. Junior Class Officers are Mary Lou Stroud, Secretary; Patty Lewis, President; and Debbie Cochran, Vice President.

Long lines at the water fountains, longing glances out the classroom win¬ dows, well-aimed streams of water from hidden waterguns, shorts and tank tops, sunburns and tans: these are the signs of • • • Spring Fever Story by Melinda Shelor Most students and faculty members are more than anxious to trade their sweaters and goose down jackets for short sleeve shirts and nylon wind- breakers. Leather shoes and boots practically dis¬ appear as sandals and canvas Nikes abound. The days grow longer in more ways than one, for it becomes much harder to sit through fifty-five minutes of a lecture on the Anglo Saxon period or ionic bonding. The spring season at Patrick County High School is also marked by three annual events which provide outlets for some of thaf excess vitality. P.C.H.S. Days, the Spring Play, and the teachers’ assembly all gave people a chance to relax and have a fan time. Each gave the students a chance to let loose with that roaring laugh (that was held back in Mr. Holleman’s study hall) and allowed the teachers to act just like the kids. The 1980 Spring Play was a great hit with those bitten by the Spring Fever Bug. The drama, “All American,” was humorous from the first opening of the curtains to the part where the SCA presi dent announced, “Now,you’re all dismissed back to your third period class.” As the play progressed, one could hear the highpitched titter of the girl from Algebra class, to the hardy guffaw of the guy in U.S. History. This laughter was also heard at a magnified volume as the faculty members skipped onto the gym floor to perform the famous dances of the ’50’s. “Three left feet” and his partner “twinkle toes” at¬ tempted to buff the varnish off the gym floor as they joined others in performing the jitterbug. James Love and Judy Pollard earned tremendous applause with their performance of the “shagg.” Bill Farmer and Mary Jane Taylor effec¬ tively portrayed a summer beach scene with their per¬ formance of the “swim.” Then, Tim Parker and Catherine Gowin almost stole the show with their routine. However, the loudest laughs were heard as several teachers at¬ tempt ed the “limbo,” danc¬ ing one by one underneath the lowering broom handle. Peihaps the best fun was had by all, with the arrival of Patrick County High School Days. As in years before, Tuesday of that week was dress up day in honor of the distinguished Patrick Countian of the year, Mrs. Barbara A. Joyce Hoyman. To counteract the pains of coat and tie, a day was set aside as dress down day on which stu¬ dents could wear anything they wanted . . . well, almost. The fun really began with the tug-of-war tournament between the guys and girls of each class and the faculty. The 1980 champions were the girls of the class of ’81 and the male teachers. Throughout the week, money was donated toward the punishment of one’s favorite teacher. On Friday, the winner, Rachel Williamson, was crowned victorious with a pie in the eye. (Oh, to hear again the laughter that filled the gym!) Saturday (a dreaded make-up day caused by winter snows), was filled with good times. “Young” met younger in a student- teacher softball game on the football field. The game officially ended at lunch time with the students barely hanging to the thread of victory. After a picnic style lunch, the stu¬ dent body attended the Cougar’s first baseball game of a double header against Chatham. Springtime comes only once a year, but the spirit expressed with “Spring Fever” thrives in our hearts the whole year through. Arnold Kloock spends a restful moment daydreaming during the Student-Teacher ball game. 30 Spring Fever
