'r Students Keep Active Student Body Linked To Spirit For The Bulldogs. Having spirit chains was a new idea, sponsored by the Senior class to raise money. All of the classes joined in to raise the spirit of the Mighty Bulldogs. The sale of the chains, each of which was ten cents, started on Thursdays and ended after second lunch on Friday. The Seniors came up with the majority of the FI-IAers Host Workshop On October 20, 1976, Pendleton High School hosted the Area H FHA Leadership Workshop. ln- cluded in this work-shop were FHA officers from Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens counties. Approx- imately two hundred per- sons attended with Robin Newton, area leader, pre- siding. An infirmary in Eng- land admitted a young man suffering from hiccoughs which could be heard at a range of more thana mile. Guiness Book of Records wins, but the Sophomores were running close be- hind. The juniors appar- rently decided to save their dimes to buy their candy that they strived to sell. The Freshmen, be- ing inexperienced, decided to by-pass the chains. The spirit chains real- ly added to the spirit- raising during the 76-77 school year at PHS.
