Students Are Busybees At PH Exams Spoil Christmas lt rang throughout the halls, Christmas, Christ- mas -time is here. No more school until next year! The excitement had been building for weeks. The parties, assemblies, special decorations, all added to that special feel- ing of the Yuletide. Sud- denly it was three o'clock. The bell rang and six hun- dred students tumbled out laughing and screaming. lt was Christmas vacation time. Even the most stu- dious kids were heard humming a tune. Thoughts were nonexistent. This scene is not un- common. The same six hundred kids come back a little more quietly almost three weeks later. Thoughts now are of why the Christmas fun must be erased by thoughts of exams. Few have seen a textbook since the day be- fore vacation and yet exams begin soon after the new year does. What a way to start the new year!

Spirit chains sponsored by the Senior class were linked during lunches with the Freshmen edging the Seniors by ten links. The cheerleaders painted Bull- dog paws on students' bod- ies and also gave a bonfire to boost extra spirit. All day spirits were high and many memories were formed of Fifties' Day, 1976. The game, how- ever, ended disappointing- ly with the dogs losing 35 to 14 to the Woodruff Wol- verines. J

A friend is a present you give yourself. Robert Louis Stevenson un-nroonalnnnuia uno4 f N Waves In Pendleton? A highly trusted source told this reporter that he witnessed an amazing event: Surfing in Pendle- ton. Though he admitted he knew of no waves in the area, he said he was sure he had not been hallucinat- ing. I was cold sober, our source said, forI had just completed a chemistry test. As yet, no one has come forward to give evi- dence to support the source's statement, but a few have hinted that they have seen the same thing kin their Algebra ll classesj IZXWQB '...Lj Seniors Grder Graduation Goodies On October 13, 1976, the Seniors were glad to have their daily routine of classes interrupted by the ordering of gowns. In ad- dition to gowns, they or- dered announcements, thank -you's, invitations, and calling cards while looking forward to the day they could utilize them. While the Seniors sat thinking of graduation day, the bell rang and jolted all of them back to reality. Never try to make anyone like yourself -you know, and God knows, that one of you is enough, -Ralph Waldo Emerson College Day On October 22, 1976, representatives from col- leges around the State came to talk to the Seniors and to give out brochures. This was an excellent op- portunity for the Seniors to look into the college of their choice.

I-on Ed. Student Council Workshop The District Il Student Council Workshop was held at Pendleton High School on Tuesday, No- vember 16, 1976. The District III Chairman, Benj ie Evatt, in charge of the workshop, was unable to attend due to an acci- dental eye injury, there- fore, Kim Anderson, the vice-president of the PHS student council, took charge of the meeting. During the first General Session, Malcolm Marler, a football player from Clemson University, spoke to the students. After- wards, those attending the workshop split up into dis- cussion groups and talked about various school sit- uations. After a short sec- ond session in the gym the meeting was adjourned. Pendleton Puts Cn New Face There have been many improvements and addi- tions made in the little town of Pendleton. The Pendleton students are probably glad we now have a hamburger place, The Bantam Chef. Another ma- jor improvement is the widening of the bridge on East Queen Street, on which many students trav- el each day. This will probably save many acci- dents in the future. Car- tee's Pastry Shop, a favo- rite hang-out, moved and now contains a game room as well. We now have a tea room located in the Far- mer's Hall, which has many treats, and has at- tracted many people from around the state. Also, located across the highway from Tri County Tec is a new Ag- ricultural Museum which contains old agricultural machinery. These are only a few signs to us that our little town of Pendleton is grow- ing up. Groundlings See Blood And Gore The groundlings of Ms. Warren's, Mrs. Gil- lette's, and Mr. Walker's classes went to witness William Shakespeare's MACBETH. Although many females hid behind their coats in fright, most stu- dents enjoyed the film. 235
