The Third Step - Stepping Out From The Crowd The gym bleachers were crowded with al¬ most 2,200 students during each pep rally while the band and teachers occupied half the court. But that did not stop star cross-country athlete Donnie Tickle from stepping out and talking about the team. Mr. Bob McGinley’s and Mr. Tom Howerton’s Biology I class was crowded with forty students, but that didn’t stop Angela Safewright from going beyond the call of duty to rip out the intestines of the worm she was dis¬ secting. The stadium was crowded with hun¬ dreds of fans at the Heritage football game, but that did not stop Ronnie Alley from stepping out to catch a miniature football (compliments of Tastee-Freeze) thrown by cheerleader Carol Ann Luttrell. The 292,713 square foot brick school was big. With 2,200 students, there was no denying that at times it was crowded. But each student stepped out from the crowd and kept on going. Come ’n get it — Football players Sherill Holston and Phillip Melton talk with Ms. Ann Mabry as they pay for their meal during first lunch. 6 Student Life

r STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE m The life of a student encompassed more than books and homework. It in¬ volved fixing cars in Mr. Caudell’s auto body class, dancing at the sock hops after a football or basketball game, singing in the concert choir’s Christmas concert, teeing off in a golf tournament, soaking up the sun at Claytor Lake State Park, and fighting with snow balls. The game of student life was played not only behind a desk, but also in the gym during pep rallies or wrestling matches, at a pizza party sponsored by FHA, on the campus during a fire drill, at Claytor Lake during summer vacation, and on the streets during the Count Pu¬ laski Day Parade. Students stepped out from crowded halls and locker banks to see other lights of life. Table for two —Eva Altizer and James East work on the freshman homecoming float under a table in the English pod.

Punk rock day was one of the five special dress-up days during homecoming week. 8 Student Life
