4 . I 'Average students kept P.C. rolling Time spent as people and not pupils was much more bustling and busy than expected. The Putnam City Times was composed of special plans, special places, and special people. As Putnam City is unique, so was its student body. Each Pirate showed his pride in his own way. Some of us put our extra energy and time to work for us in athletics. Foot- ball, baseball and cross-country teams strove for first string, while basketball players tried to finish their required miles by October. Other students put energy into brainwaves in the hopes of becoming future philosophers and senators. Still others put it to work for their school. We stayed after school for meetings, making plans and decisions, decorating halls, and blowing up balloons. Who could forget the Rowdies - al- ways willing to put forth energy to show that the Original would always be the one. Being unified didn't mean that every Pirate was the same. We listened to dif- ferent music - anywhere from Adam Ant to Ax to Alabama. We enjoyed dif- ferent movies, and read different books. Weekends were very valuable times for the student body. Spending time with friends and doing what we did best was satisfying, because students knew that they weren't just another face in the Pirate mob. Concerts were a big thing - for some of us the only thing. They took us into another world and not only could we hear the music, but we could see it and feel it, too. Movies such as Flashdance and Re- turn ofthe jedi stirred our emotions and made us think. When we opened a book, we became the character and ex- perienced his feelings, his lifestyle. Once in a while, we would take a break from all the hassles and activities. lf we happened to look in a mirror, we saw ourselves as average people. Then we would remember that 1500 so- called average people were the pieces that held a not-so-average school together. f IN STUdENT life.. O eve Q- N9 P.C. Times

Some students' pride was so strong that they stood out in the crowd. Brad Vogel, junior, and Woo Perieda, senior, hoisted the skull and crossbones high as Stirling Gilfillan, Glenn Simpkins, jack Clark, Danny Murdoch, Rich Albro, Lori Hodges and Pam Smith showed their pride. Hall decorations took hours of after-school preparation. Todd Moon, senior, stretches to tape up a banner. Pirate Pride was sometimes hidden, such as un- derneath a folding chair. Kim Ellison, senior, and Mindy Holloway, junior, performed a drill team routine at a pep assembly. 8 Pirate Pride tg'
