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

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! C A cat, aged 17, gave birth to her 420th kitten on june 12, 1952. Vitalis At cConf'd.i Carolyn Bruce andjames Byrd, Carol Chester and Kenneth Fowler, and Lynn McClain and Bill Bailey. 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

Seniors Narne Most Fascinating ing me realize that if you really want something badly enough, you can do it. LISA MILLER says that Mr. Romansky and Ms. C. Warren influenced her to write poetry. REEMELL SIMPSON says, Mrs. C. Warren has in- fluenced me the most. She makes me want to make something worthwhile out of myself. RONNIE WI- LEY says that Mr. Walker told me why it is impor- tant to do well in school. Some students got down to the romantic. LORI GAR- RETT said, Johnny Yeo- mans, during the past two years, has influenced me the most. He has brought me out of a shell I was in. I have become more in- dependent, understanding, and daring. Seniors then turned to another person: not the most influential, but the most fascinating. Many said, At Pendelton? or Me, of course. Many, however, found someone to mention. YVETTE JONES named JAMES BYRD, He cantalk to anyone, and is honest. He is funny, friendly, and knows how to cheer people up. JOSEPHUS WEBB states that Coach Davis is a cool individual. RANDY IS- BELL agrees, but can't make up hismind. It is a tie between Coach Davis and Coach Woody. These two are always happy and doing something to make a person laugh. DEBORAH HANKS named Coach Da- vis, too. I like his style. LORI GARRETT named Ms. C. Warren. I learn new things about her every day. CLori is quick to add that she didn't name Ms. Warren just because she would read this.J AN- GELA DUNCAN agreed with Lori. She fascinates me in that she is never boring and she knows something about every- thing. JANE SHIRLEY mentioned RYAN PHIL- YAW. He has always fas- cinated me. He shows an interest in just about everything, and does well without studying a lot. KIMBERLY BURDETTE was among students who mentioned Mrs. Jolly as fascinating. She has a kind word for everyone, always looking on the bright side. Pendleton seems to have a number of fascin- ating people, but no one was mentioned as much i as Ms. Sybil Fanning. She is very smart and seems to be sure of everything she says. She is very close to a prodigy. says FREN- DESSA HAGOOD, CARO- LYN HUNTER stated that Ms. Fanning has no tem- per. I think she is the nicest person at P. H. S. Many students marvelled at Ms. Fanning's lack of temper, but most com- mented on the presence of her brains. ARDETH WIL- LIAMS names BENJIE EVATT as most fascinat- ing. He has the greatest personality, the best atti- tude toward life, and seems to be the happiest person around. DARRYL HAGOOD names Mr. Mar- tin. He is okay with the students. KIM BROCK named Claire Warren. She is widely read and very knowledgeable. Seniors were then asked what they would leave to deserving jun- iors. Though some were
