Freebird, festivities, and fans prove that . . . Farmers Do It Better! Farmer's Day 1986 was held on October 17, ending a week of farming festivities which included a pie-eating contest, a chicken chase, and a cow-milking con- test. The FFA and Student Council worked together to prepare fun-filled activities for the week. Monday. Student Council members began to drain money out of the stu- dent body by selling spirit links for a dime each. Cheerleaders and Pep Club members took orders for tee-shirts, the design of which was the winning entry of Jay Jimmerson, in a contest spon- sored by the two groups. By Monday afternoon, teachers, Student Council, and cheerleaders had established the contagious spirit of the tee-shirt's slo- gan: Caventhusiasm — catch it. Tuesday. The pie-eating contest held during both lunches by the Student Council and FFA had only one catch: hands could not be used. Sophomores Matthew Allen and Brian Travis were the stuffed victors. Wednesday. Two days before the Big Came , students were buying new tee- shirts and digging out their old shirts which read, I'd rather be a farmer. A few poor chickens were chased during both lunches with Traci Bagwell and Brian Travis emerging as the chicken- chasing champs. Luckily, the chickens survived. Thursday. Nine members from each class took part in a hay-stacking con- test. Class officers and other gung-ho class members stacked bales of hay to form the tallest stack possible. Friday. The student body was hyped up about the game because the Dorman- Spartan High game was to be played at home. There was a feeling of invulnera- bility in the air. Radio station WANS sponsored a spirit contest on Thursday night. Students from area high schools could call the station and make a statement about their school on the radio. Students from Dorman displayed their true-blue spirit, calling enough times to merit a visit from the larger-than-lifesize cos- tumed bird. Farmers and other countrified stu- dents filed in to watch the band, cheer- leaders, and Blue Belles. Wendy White announced that the freshmen had won the spirit link contest. The Freebird danced with the cheerleaders and shook hands with Coach-Farmer Evans, who had entered the scene on a tractor. After a successful pep rally, students pushed their way out of the stadium to go to lunch or back to fourth period. During both lunches, they looked at animal and farm machinery displays set Sing along The WANS Freebird and the varsity Cute and cuddly.

Farmer's Day, ending a busy fun-filled week, proved once more in the eyes of Dorman's students farmers do it better. Old Bosie. On Farmer's Day, the FFA arranged for a variety of farm animals to be displayed on the front lawn. One member's cow was content enough to let students pet her. 16

 Mall Mustang. On Sunday afternoons, as well as during the week, Westgate Mall is crowded with teens ready to show off their wheels. From Sears to Meyers Arnold, the hotrods slowly crawl, inching their way around the parking lot. Early and late-model Mustangs, Camaros, and Trans- Ams can be seen at Westgate. Cruisin Camaro. There are many Z-28's to be found in Spartanburg County, but many believe that the best are at Westgate. Jill Sellars waves as she cruises with some of her friends. 18 ruising
