Would you like to travel back in time, to an old western shootout, or soar millions of light years away from the earth and battle fleets of giant in- sects or alien ships? Or would you rather attempt to save a beautiful lady from an oversized gorrillaP You can do these and many others; it's as simple and as close as your local ga- meroom ... where the video world comes alive! One of America's favorite past-times is that of the video arcade. In the ear- ly 70's, computerized video games were nearly unknown to the U.S., but since has grown rapidly in popularity. Such games as Poc-Man, Space In- vaders, and Donkey Kong were some of the first leading games that began the era. Truly enough, the public went wild over the whole idea, so the demands for these games shot up, not only in arcades, but in stores, res- taurants, bars, and movie theaters as well. Home computers were also in de- mand. These games were designed to hook up to a television set for the family owner's convenience. In an overall survey combining both ar- cade and home video games, the to- tal industry had reached $7 billion in annual sales. (That's $4 billion more than the motion picture industry makes on tickets sold per year!) Oth- er manufacturing companies decid- ed to start gaining profits on this vid- eo-craze, too. Things like t-shirts, candy, toys, bubble gum stickers, etc. were made and sold. Star- cade , a video game show, and a Pac-Man cartoon were aired on tele- vision. There were even songs out about some of the games; Pac-Man Fever , and a Donkey Kong record. The video game industry is strong, and at the rate it's going, it probably will be tor many more years to come. So, game fans everywhere... enjoy! 7� Abort: Tim is undecided os to whether or not he wonts to challenge Midway's GORF EARNEST fl MEW DIMENSION OPPOSITE PAGE, Top: While Dennis is dedi- cated to the game, brothers David and Dale are more concerned with the camera.

T|l-i student Life ponus Points Were Accumulated Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School is more than just a building; it is an institution where there is a student body mode up of individuals who share laughter and tears, victories and defeats, achievement and failure, good times and bad; it is the individuals that make or break a school. . . From the shyest seventh grader to the busiest senior, studying, leading, working, playing, and dreaming all are a part of what makes the school worthy of its character and reputation. Hail alma mater, to thee we ting our praise, through the halls of learning we march ever on. Mysteries of life unfold, veiled in lustrous film of gold revealing paths of truth and love. Never anything to do? That's not the case at this place! Clubs, sports, dances, assemblies, and other activi- ties throughout the school year kept us busy and full of pep. Homework and studies kept us pretty well occu- pied, too. Yes, our school was always involved in something, whether it be Miss Ramsey's English classes work- ing on term papers, the Band of Gold marching at parades and half-time shows, or students attending ban- quets, class parties, and field trips. Whether it seemed good or bad, there was hardly a dull moment at this school, and we certainly have the memories to prove it.

The Junior Executive Board is com- posed of juniors from all areas of Port St. Joe who were elected by members of their class. Board meetings were held every Wednesday after school to plan activities for the entire elev- enth grade, which included such pro- jects as building the junior float for Homecoming, running the conces- sion stand at all home football games, and selling magazines to earn money for the Junior Senior Prom and Banquet. The sponsors of this or- ganization were Mr. Clarence Mon- ette, Mrs. Minnie Likely, Mr. Gregg Burch, and Mrs. Virgina Campbell.

In order to be induct- ed into this honorable establishment, one must be in coordinance with the above standings and be in at least the tenth up through the twelfth grade. The selected members are those who have strived for academic excellence all throughout their high school years and have reached it. This year the club sold carnations for Valentine's Day and competed in the district Brain Brawl held in Blount- stown. Debbie Beasley, Holly Gra- ham, Marty Neel, and Melissa Wood served as Port St. Joe High School re- presentatives for this event. P.S.J.'s honor society presided over all dis- trict meetings.

It is also to develop citizenship, stimu- late a desire to serve, promote lead- ership, and to install character Every year the Junior Honor Society sponsors Student Government Day (or Student Teacher Day, as it is most often called). This is an opportunity for seniors to take on the responsibil- ity of a teacher or school worker for a full day, while the Junior Honor Soci- ety members act as assistants to these seniors. This year turned out to be a great success, with hopes of more like it. Fund raising projects that the organi- zation were involved in included bake sales and running the concession stand at all home basketball games. Profits from these activities went to- wards a trip to Tallahassee to visit the capitol. The trip was taken with their sponsor, Airs. Minnie Likely, after school let out for the summer.

The club offers Christian youth a time of fellowship and an opportunity to learn of their religious aspects. Weekly guest speakers gave the club spiritual guid- ance and advice. The speakers var- ied from preachers and priest, to mis- sionaries, to ordinary believers of different religions As sponsor, Mr. Joe Walker helped the students of the organization have the chance to share their religious interests with other students by reading verses from the Bible for the morning devo- tion, and by saying a prayer before school functions.

With the school picking up the expenses for the trip, Lori Gregg and Cynthia Miller traveled to Gains- ville where the seminar was held. There they gained skills that they felt would be very useful in the upcoming year. When school started back, Mr. Cla- rence Monette, advisor, taught the new staff members the basics, such as designing layouts, cropping photo- graphs, and writing copy. When this was accomplished the staff was ready to get started on what they had planned to be the best yearbook ever, and with their new ideas and determination they were bound for just that. Standing: Keith Boiley, Cynthia Miller, Mr Monette, Lori Gregg, Tommy Williams, Sitting: Valeria Renfro, Kim Roberson, Theresa Hicks, Kathy Lewis, Lisa Whaley, Trish Tapper, Tanya Pippin, Randy Haddock. Deadlines crept upon them and the list of layouts due seemed endless, but finally everything managed to fall into place, and their goal of produc- ing a top-notch Monument had been very successful.

The issues were printed once over a six-week period, and during each of these per- iods, two students were appointed to edit all of the articles. This gave each of them a chance to experience the responsibilities an editor has to en- counter while meeting the needs of the paper. To produce an ideal school newspa- per, there are certain necessities that must be obtained which includes: a group of students who are willing to dedicate a good percentage of them- selves to their work, a devoted spon- sor, as Mrs. Linda Bancroft, and inter- esting articles such as Student and Teacher Spotlights, updates on school activities, puzzles, song dedi- cations, and cartoons, which were featured in each of the issues. The 1982-83 Purple Wave Staff formed quite a reputation around our school for the excellent job they have maintained throughout the year, and for giving the students at Port St. Joe High something to look forward to every six weeks.

They met third period every day to work on improv- ing their speaking skills, giving infor- mative speeches as well as entertain- ing ones. Mrs. Margaret Biggs, English teacher, has been the spon- sor for this program ever since it was first organized. The 1982-83 speech club was in- volved in various activities. For Homecoming Week they gave a Rock-Around-the-Clock ” presenta- tion, which featured alumni and fac- ulty members from years ago. They spoke on their good old high school days. The club also wrote and prac- ticed their play entitled ' 'No Fooling, as each year speech class does their own. This year's class was unable to put their's on though, due to the fact that the school calendar had no time to allow them for it near the end of the year. They sold jewelry as their major fund-raiser, which helped them to pay for their spirited purple and gold jerseys. The prof its also went to- wards a scrumptious shrimp dinner at the Parkway Restaurant in Simmons Bayou, to repay them for a year well spent.

The club consists of twenty-two junior and senior girls who were chosen tor membership on the basis of service, character, and scholarship. With an eager group of girls like the 1982-83 Wheelettes, the club proved to be very much active this year. They have taken part in such activi- ties as candy-sales and a car-entry in the Homecoming parade. Around Christmas time, the girls visited the nursing home in Apalachicola and distributed holiday greeting cards that were made by the club. They also worked on the Rotary Club float for the Christmas parade, which was December 4, 1982. For next year, the sponsors are plan- ning an expansion of the club which will be renamed Interact . Interact will include not only females, but ju- nior and senior males as well, and will conduct on basically the same princi- pals as the Wheelettes.

Keyettes Keyettes Activate the Thrills The Keyettes is a service organiza- tion sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and co-sponsored by Mrs. Lewana Patterson. It is composed of junior and senior girls whose objectives are to render services to the school, com- munity, and home, to promote wor- thy leadership abilities, and to en- courage the development of character. The club started off the school year with the traditional Keyette initiation on Thursday night, October 6, 1982. New members were dressed up in outrageous costumes and provided half-time entertainment for the J.V. football game. Vliss Tanya Pippin was announced as the 1982-83 'Pos- sum Queen, and was awarded a beautiful necklace of onions. Every Tuesday, the Kiwanis Club met for a luncheon, in which two Keyette (and Key Club) members attended. Projects the Keyettes have participat- ed in this year include the Annual Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast, candy sales, collecting for the American Cancer Society, and road-blocks.

It is co-sponsored by Mr. Lamar Faison. The club is com- posed of boys in grades ten through twelve with the goal to develop initia- tive and leadership qualities so that members might work for the im- provement of their school and com- munity. Some of the activities they were involved in included working a road-block for the American Cancer Society, selling raffle tickets, and par- ticipating in the Annual Kiwanis Pan- cake Breakfast. With the money that was raised, the club plans to put it toward the building of a new trophy case at the front of the school. Every Tuesday, members of the Key Club (and Keyettes) met with the Kiwanis Club for lunch at the St. Joe Motel'', which seemed to be the boys' favor- ite activity throughout the whole school year!

The color purple stands for royalty, whereas the pega- sus (winged horse) is the symbol of imagination. The combination of both represent a good poet who has a strong interest in varieties of verse and enjoys the reading, writing, and study of poetry altogether. In order to be- come a member, one must be voted in by students presently belonging to the club, sponsor, Mrs. Margaret Biggs stated. This is done after a study of poetry written by the person seeking membership to insure only high quality writers. This year the club wrote poems for the Monument's 1982-83 school calendar and put together Volume II of their book entitled Purple Pegasus . Each member contributed poems of their own, then when completed, sold them to poetry lovers in the school and com- munity. Poetry contests were spon- sored throughout the year by different firms. In the state competition, Mi- chael Bouington received first prize, and Rosa Lee Clark received second. Virginia Gray made history at Port St. Joe Jr. -Sr. High School by being the firs t student ever to place in the student division of the national contest spon- sored by the National Federation of State Poetry Societies which was opened to poets throughout the world. Her poem, The Sabots , won second place. Port St. Joe High is very proud of the talent that many of its students have and hope that opportunities as those of the poetry club will continue to be a part of this school.

The students learn skills that will benefit them all throughout their adulthood; some training may teach these young men and women to help others while they may learn to be- come a discipline leader in today's world. Port St. Joe's R.O.T.C. cadets wi- dened their minds and knowledge of the services when they journeyed on various field trips to such places as Pensicola's Navy Air Station, F A M il. 's campus in Tallahassee, Flor- ida for regional competition, and to Tyndall Air Force Base for area-7 competition. Some cadets have even seen and experienced life aboard a Navy Air Craft Carrier and went to Paris Island for a basic marine training camp.

They also strive to better prepare themselves to deal with the prospects of future living. When Future Homemakers of America first organized, it was con- sidered a club for teenage girls, but as time passed, males too, became in- terested. ''H.E.R.O. (Home Econom- ics Related Occupations)“ was added for the benefit of these males. The members of the F.H. A. H.E.R.O. were involved in many different ac- tivities this year, including projects such as visits to the nursing home, the selling of Shark-spirit keychains, the entry of a car in the Homecoming parade, making signs for games and pep rallies, collecting for the Ameri- can Cancer Society, and an end of the year party.

They began their cheering season during the summer by attend- ing a week long training camp held at Florida State University in Tallahas- see. There, they were honored by re- ceiving the third place trophy in the Grand Champion Finals, along with other ribbons they earned for their fine showmanship. The squad worked extremely hard this year sponsoring dances, carwashes, and window-washes. They practiced everyday after school under the motto, practice makes perfect'', and attended a cheerlead- ing competition the first week in Feb- ruary of 1983, at the State Fair in Tampa. When they weren't learning new chants, or preparing skits for pep rallies, you could always find them making signs, posters, or good-luck gifts such as cards, qarters, pillows, etc., for the football and basketball teams. All of these are factors of be- ing dedicated, and dedication is defi- nitely the chief necessity for obtain- ing the key to success. Along with their sponsor, Mrs. Martha Sanborn, they were exactly that . . A BIG SUC- CESS! Right: Cheerleaders show spirit in Homecom- ing parade.

They attended summer camp at Florida State University in Tallahas- see where they won first place in the Grand Championship Competition, along with several other ribbons. The rest of the year that followed was equally successful for the girls. They cheered through football and basket- ball seasons, along with numerous fund raisers and activities such as participating in a rock-a-thon, spon- soring window washes, and candy sales These girls, along with their sponsor, Mrs. Judy Williams, demon- strated terrific teamwork which en- abled them to be the top-notch squad that they were.

Supporting the Junior High Sharks in both football and basket- ball seasons was their main task throughout the school year, and we are very proud to say that they have done quite an outstanding job. Credit is also due to their fine, dedicated sponsors, Airs. Martha Sanborn and Airs. Judy Williams, who have defi- nitely encouraged these girls to be goal setters and achievers. Some of them may move up to higher squads, but it is certain that they will always remember the excitement of their first years of being a Port St. Joe Cheerleader!

The purpose of this club is to promote spirit among the school by cheering at pep rallies, games, and other extra-curricular ac- tivities, and by making signs for the school rallies. This year the club sold Shark spirit mugs as their major money-making project and rode in the Homecoming parade.

The mark of excel- lence began in the middle of the summer when 14 members attended band camp at Troy State University in Alabama, then, two weeks before school started back, the 101 mem- bers gathered to learn the exciting new drill that had been put together for them by the new band director, Mr Wayne Land. Fanfares, down- field routines, mark-times, and fan- tastic dance steps had never seemed so important until the encourage- ment to improve was embarked in their heads. They practiced hard learning the music and routines to tunes such as Mirada , Waiting for the Robert E. Lee , The Big Band Medley, which included In the Mood , Little Brown Jug , and oth- er golden oldies. They also per- formed Tara's Theme and the popular hit Eye of the Tiger . During the season the band attended a top-notch contest festival in Fort Walton, marched in the Florida Sea- food Festival and Troy State Universi- ty's Homecoming parades, and all of Port St. Joe's holiday parades. They sold Christmas ornaments and band cleaner for the purpose of earning money for their trip down south and new uniforms for the 83-84 school year. Definitely the most exciting oc- casion for them was the Florida Band- master's Association District II Marching Competition, where they earned the highest rating possible, superior . . . truly music to their ears !

Mr. Land is a native of Panama City. He graduated from Gulf Coast Community College and received his degree from Troy State University in 1971. He has served many years in the band business, start- ingout in Talladega, Alabama, where his band was recognized very highly. They appeared on Nation- al television, marched half-time at the Blue-Gray Classic game in Montgomery, and was selected to represent the state at the dedication of the United Nations Office Center in Vienna, Austria. After being with the Talladega band for two years, he moved on to teach in Guntersville, Alabama. His band there founded a marching contest, and had doubled enrollment in only a couple years. Now replacing former director, Dan Crews, Mr. Land has worked very hard with the band. He took this year to get to know the members and their abilities individually. Although they have reached the superior mark with his assistance, his plans for next year are to have them perform far beyond that goal.

CAPTURES fl QJEEN The most exciting week of the 1982- 83 school year was very definitely Homecoming. This year's theme was centered around the world of video games , in which many great ideas came about. The classes developed some fantastic float designs, and the Homecoming Court had their pic- tures made for the city newspaper, The Star , at the local gameroom, Perry's Pizza Amusements . The Student Council planned various activities to keep the week filled with enthusiasm. To start off with, Mon- day was Hat and Shades Day . Everyone wore sunshades and their favorite hat (which varied from Mick- ey Mouse ears to a Mexican sombre- ro). During second and third periods, the Alpha Omega Speech Club gave a Rock-Around-the-Clock presen- tation, which featured past alumni of Port St. Joe High School. Tuesday was the introduction of the court, and the day for everyone to wear their favorite outfit to school. On Wednesday, everybody came to school with the 50's look. Also, Mrs. Cora Sue Robinson, supervisor of elections for Gulf County, pro- vided the school with voting ma- chines for the purpose of electing the queen. Thursday—PUNK ROCK! Stu- dents dressed up in wild and crazy outfits, which included pink hair, leg warmers, deely hoppers, and other punky get-ups. Then, a dance was held in the gym sixth period for those who wished to attend. There was also a bonfire that night at the stadium parking lot where everyone gathered to boost the spirit for the game the next day. Last, but certainly not least . . . Friday, the day awaited by all. To display that great spirit Port St. Joe is known for, everyone wore school col- ors. The big pep rally was held at 11 00, then school was dismissed ear- ly so everyone could make last min- ute touches on their floats. Float win- ners were announced at the game that night. 1st place—Juniors, 2nd place—Freshmen, 3rd place—Sen- iors. During halftime, the Band of Gold played If as each candidate was escorted onto the field. Crowned by the 1981-82 Queen, Gaynell Stephens, was lovely Miss Kelly Johnson, 1982-1983 Home- coming Queen! During the week, and that night, the fans' spirit and enthu- siasm remained strong, but even with the support, the Sharks were not vic- torious against the Chipley Tigers.

Junior Miss Talent and Beauty Programmed Around the first week in November, excitement rose in all of the senior girls as they waited, wondering if they had been chosen to participate in Gulf County's 1982 Junior Miss Pag- eant. Letters were sent out by the Kiwanis Club, the new sponsors of the program (it had been in the hands of the Jaycees since the first pag- eant, which was in 1969). It came to be that 16 very talented girls would be competing for the title, which were: Latricia Allen, Tina Baldwin, Kim Dupree, Lori Gregg, Kelly John- son, Cynthia Miller, Pam Norris, To wan Peters, Tanya Pippin, Lisa Por- ter, Lori Ray, Cathy Rish, Bonita Rob- inson, Cynthia Rogers, Lynn Ste- phens, and Cassandra Thomas. These girls worked hard for two weeks prior to the ' 'big day, learning the physical fitness routine, cutting down talent to meet the time require- ments, filling out forms and question- aires, and getting together costumes and props. You name it! At the time, it all seemed so hectic, but soon ev- erything fell into place and the girls became very anxious for the show to go on. The contestants rode in Port St. Joe's annual Christmas parade, which was held on December 4th (the day of the pageant). At 1:00 p.m., interviews were given. This was a big part of the pageant which accounted for 35% of the final scoring. The theme for this year's Junior M ss was Eye of the Tiger, ” from the pop- ular boxing movie Rocky III . The back-drop was set up like a boxing arena, with stars drawn on it, and the names of the contestants written out by them. The pageant included an introduction of the contestants and their individual sponsors, a physical fitness routine to the song Eye of the Tiger , by the group SURVIVAL, talent and last but not least, the evening gown competition. After all of this had been concluded, there was a long wait, which seemed for- ever to both the contestants and the audience, while the judges made their decision. During this time Gulf County's 1981 Junior Miss, Jenny Tot man took her final walk down the ramp before turning over the title. Finally, the results came: Cathy Rish was given an award for her outstand- ing performance on the physical fit- ness routine, Lori Ray was awarded the creative and performing arts tro- phy, while Kelly Johnson took home the poise and appearance award. At the last practice, all of the contes- tants had voted on the girl with the most spirit for Junior Miss, and this award was given to Latricia Allen. The 3rd runner-up was Lori Gregg, 2nd runner-up, Lynn Stephens, 1st runner-up, Tanya Pippin, and the win- ner of the scholastic achievement award and Gulf County's 1982 Junior Miss, Towan Peters. Although these girls received special recognition, each and every contestant contribut- ed to making the pageant entertain- ing by their great performing talents, and it is true that the memories of this Junior Miss experience will be cher- ished by them all.

Well, I do declare! Southern Nights at Port St. Joe High School? Sounds absolutely mar-velous! The 1982-83 Juniors exclaimed as they thought up the theme for this year's junior sen- ior prom and banquet. The theme was just the beginning, though. The actual creation of the whole idea was wonders upon itself. The Class of '84 contributed a great deal of effort into piecing the entire prom together. As extras this year, they ordered Hurri- cane glasses with the 1983 prom logo printed on them, and sent out invitations to all the juniors, seniors, and other guests. Two weeks prior to the date of the prom, the hard-work- ing juniors kept busy as a bee. It all seemed to pay off when the big day came . . . Saturday, April 23rd. On ar- rival, the guests were given hand- fans and garters to add to the touch of the evening that they were about to encounter. Photographs were tak- en during the banquet in front of a beautiful Southern setting on the ole' Mississippi. Then, the beaus and their gals would cross the little white bridge over into the romantic garden'' where prom servers and guests were gathered. In the middle of floor was a fountain with sparkling water trink- ling about. To the right was a lovely table set up with hors d'oeuvres pre- pared by the parents of the junior class, and aside that was a well to which the drinks were drawn by the servers. Garden tables and chairs were all around to put the finishing touch on the decorations. Young la- dies in their trouncing formats and parasols in hand, and young men in their tuxes added to the already-per- feet setting. After the banquet, the band Catarro started in on the Top 40 while everyone joined in to dance the night away. At ten o'clock the Grand-March” was announced. All of the seniors and their dates walked proudly out on the floor when their names were called, until two lines were formed on either side of the room. Then, instead of the usual slow dance in their honor, the band played Beat It , a pop hit by the great Mi- chael Jackson. Funny enough . . that was just what the seniors had in mind! Right afterwards the crowd started thinning out and the prom soon came to an end. Oh, well, an- other year, another prom, or was it? To some people the whole night seemed to be a wonderful dream . . . a Southern dream.

But just who was willing to dedicate their time and effort? This question was asked many times be- fore the 1978-79 school year, when the ''willing'' came forth. The first Mat-Maid squad was formed. Along with the other chores that were re- quired of them, the girls also became a cheering group. Shouting the team onto victory at both in-town and out- of-town matches was one of their main objectives, in which they ac- complished quite well. One should be very proud to be a Mat-Maid; to re- present Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School's wrestling team. Even though the job may not seem too glamorous, it is indeed a great honor to be re- cruited for the line of duty, as any of them know.

The junior and senior girls are the football players, with the boys as their cheerleaders. Beginning a couple of weeks prior to the date of the game, the two classes automatically become tierce rivals. Dirty looks are given as they pass in the halls, promising to kill when they meet on the field. Name-calling is also common, this year giving the teams their mascots. The seniors adopted the name PIGS while the juniors earned their PONIES , both satisfied with each. Although Powderpuff is ruled as flag- football, there always seems to be an awful lot of tackling done. As a result, this year two junior girls and one sen- ior girl suffered minor injuries (a little less minor than fingernail streaks across the neck, or teeth marks on the arm), but recovered quite well. With the girls making up their own rules, running in the wrong direction, and arguing with the coaches and referees, it was no wonder that nei- ther team scored the first half of the game. It wasn't until 4th quarter that senior linebacker Trish Allen put the first two points on the board with a safety. Counting down the last min- utes of the game, junior running back Eunice Martin took off across the field, managing to make the first touchdown of the evening which ended the event 6-2. During halftime, the Powderpuff Court, consisting of senior boys, had been rolled out on the field in wheel- barrows by their muscled escorts, senior girls By popular vote of the whole student body, a King was cho- sen. This year, Willard Paul Gilbert was selected, and instead of flowers or a crown, he received lots and lots of powder (that is, without the boxes!).

During the season they experienced the thrill of victory with their rival opponent, the Wewa- hitchka Gators. The Sharks swamped the Gators with a triumph of 15-0. Also, the Sharks defeated the Ha- vana Gladiators 8-6, and the Apa- lachicola Sharks 45-0. Though the Sharks ended their season with a re- cord of 7 and 3, they still kept their heads up high. During the entire sea- son the team was supported whole- heartedly by the Shark fans. Coach Shaw Maddox and his staff are to be commended for the effort that each of them put forth to make this year's football team the pride of our school. This year the Sharks lost seven great seniors, but they still have the remain- ing of the team to carry on with an- other year of exciting football.

Coach Shaw Mad- dox has been a spunky asset to our 1982-83 football team He was a for- mer head coach of the Bainbridge Bearcats baseball team in Bainbridge, Georgia. After moving to Port St. Joe, he took the position as assistant coach under Coach Wayne Taylor for one year.

Most of our 1982-83 players were small in weight and size, which gave their opponents an overall advan- tage, but even so the Junior High Sharks worked hard and coura- geously along with their coaches Jim Belin and William Lane, to gain and develop the necessary skills for being future top-notch on the football field. These young players struggled through a tough season, which left them with a 0-6 record, but in the games they played, they came out with the best win of all . . . exper- ience.

The varsity squad was small in size, but had the power to dominate. The Sharks won the holiday, Gulf Coast, and district tournaments. They then advanced to the regionals but lost to Monticello, ending the season with an outstand- ing 17-7 record. The team consisted of many excel- lent players, and for their efforts they were presented awards. Marty Russ, the only senior regular, was chosen as the Most Valuable Player; Danny Givens, the Most Enthusiastic; Durey Cadwell was the Most Improved and Best Free-Throw Shooter; Doug Rob- inson was selected Best Offensive Re- bounder; and Josh Jenkins was the Best Defensive Rebounder for the Sharks.

Of the twelve players, there were only three return- ing from last year: Curtis Beard, Kevin Dawson, and Chris McCleod. Also beginning with the other nine boys this junior high season was Coach John Hicks. Although coaching this young basketball team was so new to him, he pulled through it, and pretty well one might add, especially this be- ing only his first year with the group. The season ended with a fair record of 3 and 5, but even so, the team's spirit remained strong and determina- tion kept their heads up high in hopes of a better season next year.

When forming the 1982- 83 team it was discovered that there weren't enough players, so it came to the decision to allow seventh and eighth graders to tryout, despite the usual limitation of freshmen through seniors only. Along with Coach Ra- chel Crews and team captains Bren- da Bailey, Tiffany Burns, and Bonita Robinson, the girls practiced regularly and worked hard to become the team they were. At the conference tournament against Wakulla they were defeated by only one point, ending the game 33-34. The team made it through the long season with an overall 7 and 8 record, and a little more experience which will help them work at o better season next year.

Although they did not have a lot of team wins, their individual scores were much higher as com- pared to the past. Keith Mork—102 lbs. and Sidney Harris—128 lbs. are two of the team members who went to state, accompanied by their coach, Chris Earley. A new school record was set when Keith Mork ended his season with 17 wins, three loses, and 13 pins. Others with outstanding records were Sidney Harris, Willie McCloud, Eric Parrish, Richard Ramsey, and Billy Williams. Near the end of the year they held their annual banquet in which awards were distributed. Billy Williams re- ceived the AAA Athlete of the Year Award, Most Valuable Wrestler 1976-83, and team captain; Seth Howell and Willie McCloud—team co-captains; Sidney Harris—Most Aggressive; Keith Mork —Most Valu- able; Eric Parrish—Most Improved; and Erik Tomlinson—Rookie of the Year.

Around Christmas of 1981 he passed away, but left us great memo- ries of what a true fan is. His family donated the Hoss Wilder Memorial Hustler A ward to the PSJH5 baseball team, with Paul Davidson as its first recipient. This year Kyle Pippin re- ceived the award for his great enthusiasm. Other awards were distributed at the banquet. David Bearden gained the All Conference and Most Valuable Pitcher awards; Mitch Burke re- ceived All Conference, Highest Batting Aver- age, and Most Valuable Player; Paul Davidson was awarded All Conference, team captain, and Best Defensive Player; and Stacy Strick- land was Rookie of the Year.

The team was not as strong in skills as they have been in the past years, but with more practice and more initia- tive, they should have the necessary skills to better the season next year. The softball captains were Brenda Bailey and Cassandra Thomas, with Airs. Rachel Crews coaching for her second consecutive year. The Most Improved Player was Dorcas Harris.

The enrichment of these two things helped the team re- main strong and gave the boys the initiative to improve. The team was under the instruction of Coach John Hicks, and with his assistance, the re- sults of next season should turn out more successful.

Grad Nite Music, Magic, Fun One of the most exciting events throughout the whole senior year was Grad Nite '83. High schools from all around crowded Disney World for one of the tour exclusive nights set aside for seniors only. Port St. Joe's bunch traveled to Orlando on Friday, May 6th, to enjoy the night they had anticipated tor so long. After reach- ing their destination, everyone took off in different directions, anxious for what the evening had in store for them. The '83 seniors were dazzled by the bands that were featured, which in- cluded THE DAZZ BAND, along with their grammy-winning Let It Whip”, STEEL BREEZE and their hit You Don't Want Me Anymore”, THE GREG KIHN BAND and their chart- busting ''Jeopardy”, and NIGHT RANGER singing ''Don't Tell Me You Love Me”. Other bands were the Bur- rito Brothers, Marshall Crenshall, J.P. the Silver Stars, Tabasco, and the Mardi Gras Sound Company. Enter- tainment also included a slide show of different schools and, of course, the usual attractions at the park. From 4 pm Friday afternoon until 4:30 am Saturday morning, Disney World was rocking, but soon came time for departure. Everyone felt cer- tain as they loaded up on the buses that Grad Nite '83 would never be forgotten; just stored with the rest of their memories for them to call upon when they wished to be reminded of the best times of their senior year.

FROM: THE CLASS OF '83 DEDJCflTU to the Seniors of 1983 The rung of a ladder was never meant to Rest upon, but only to hQld a Man's foot long enough to enable him to Put the other somewhatlhigher — THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY EDITOR’S MESSAGE The year has come to an ending once more, and so another Monument is completed. The staff's goal was to produce a yearbook that gained standards set high above all others at Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School, a yearbook that everyone would be proud of. To begin with, a theme was established; one that all students could relate to, then different or renewed ideas were added, along with improved copy and artwork to put character and originality into the layouts. All of this was combined to produce what is considered the school's best-seller . . . the yearbook. Although perfection was not quite achieved, I feel that the 1983 Monument has accomplished its purpose. It has provided the student body a book filled with memo- ries to reflect upon in years to come. The staff strived for the best in everything, and allowed only the best to help us in our weak points. Thanks to Wendy Parrish, sopho- more art student, for designing our 1 'Pac-Shark , Port St. Joe's town newspaper, The Star, for furnishing many of our photos, our Herff Jones representatives, Aden Sowell and Ken Jernigan, for helping make some of our chief decisions, Bryn-Alan Studio, for developing our prints and providing us with a professional photographer for the best quality Homecoming photos, and to the others who contributed to making this book the best it could possibly be. I sincerely hope that this edition of the Monument will become a foundation for others to build upon. Improvement is always the key word; to make something better than the time before. Keep in mind how valuable a yearbook is. It records the events and the times a student spends at school... it represents the most precious times in his life.
