THESE Are The Best of Times Plan, predict, and prepare — these words were repeated to the juniors of 1981-1982 time and time again as they began work on their prom. Actual work on the prom be¬ gan in February when com¬ mittees met to establish a theme, decide on an an¬ nouncement design, an invi¬ tation design, plan for re¬ freshments, choose a band, and of course, plan decora¬ tions. After guidelines were set, the plans were put into motion. All of the plans and aspirations of the Jr.-Sr. prom could not have been fulfilled had it not been for an ex¬ tremely successful candy sales campaign. The Juniors pulled together and raised over $3,000 for their prom. The huge success of their can¬ dy sales also allowed the Ju¬ niors to cater their prom, a first for PCHS. Endless afternoons and nights of work proved fruitful for the junior class as they converted the gymnasium into a tropical cruise para¬ dise. The paradisiacal atmo¬ sphere of the gym sent every¬ one there into their own little eutopia, even if just for that one night. Sophomores Timmy Lyon and Lisa Barbour man the guest register of the USS Best Of Times. Juniors Ricky Carter and Robbie Lawrence climb up a scaffold to hang the decorations for the prom. Danny Williams and Timmy Turner take a break in hanging up the “skyline” to ask for more instructions. 20 Prom Ronnie Wood and Ava Mitchell share a special glance as they dance to the music of “Lyrics”, and prove that these are the “best of times”.

Play and Games Make PCHS Days a ‘Fever’ Last spring when spring fe¬ ver hit the students and teachers of Patrick County High School, another fever also reached epidemic pro¬ portions in its halls. That “fe¬ ver” was the one that went along with the arrival of PCHS Days. This new “fever” had vary¬ ing symptoms as it spread. On the first day, students dressed in their finest and gathered together in the gym to honor their Distinguished Patrick Countian, Mr. Fred Clifton. Mr. Clifton proved to be a joy to all the students as he told stories of his childhood and demonstrated some of his handicrafts. The second day of the “fe¬ ver” saw the symptoms reach their zenith when students dressed in the latest punk fashions—wild make-up, mini-skirts, and purple hair just to name a few. This second day of festivi¬ ties let the teachers show that they were also subject to this “fever” as they performed their annual Teachers’ As¬ sembly. The final day of the “fever” saw symptoms begin to sub¬ side. Many students were ab¬ sent on this day as they went to the 1982 World’s Fair with various school clubs. The re¬ maining students were treat¬ ed to a relaxed dress code as they were allowed to dress in shorts, halters, and holey jeans. The day also offered the op¬ portunity to see a production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The play was quite an accom¬ plishment since a troupe of only three actors performed the entire play. The morning was filled by the play and the afternoon was left open for the annual Student-Teacher Softball Game. Once again, the teachers rose victorious by a substantial margin. As the final day wound- down, symptoms disappeared and everyone was ready to re¬ turn to their “normal” school days again on Monday. Macbeth and Macduff battle fiercely. First baseman Chuck Joyce vainly attempts to stop a ground ball while playing against the teachers. 22 PCHS Days
