The follow- ing is an excerpt from that first issue: “Each day means challenge ... To attain knowledge To succeed in all we do Thus the staff of the yearbook selected a name signifying the highest pinnacle on which the eagle builds its nest — The Aerie May we ever reach upward.” 1968 Aerie We, the members of the journal- ism class, take PRIDE in presenting to you the 1980 Aerie. 2 2 1.

This class partici- pated in the fall program, the Christ- mas program, a spring concert, and several out-of-town events. The Chorus Club presented a pro- gram in the fall which spotlighted “music through the years.'1 The group also provided music at the commencement exercises. 4 4 1.

A program was given to acquaint members with the various types of libraries and related careers. The club achieved its goal by getting students more involved. Good luck next year! 1.

Teacher representation at the board meetings proved to be a major break- through in the promotion of teacher-parent communi- cations. Fund-raising projects consisted of a cookie sale, a square dance, and a family portrait day, with proceeds being used for a new duplicator, a scholarship, and Teacher Appreciation Day. Other services provided by this energetic and dedicated group were a memorial shrubbery plan, concessions at the Halloween Carni- val, and gravel for the teacher parking area. Setting its sights high, the PTO has undertaken the challenge of securing a much needed curtain for the stage in the gymnasium. 3 1. OFFICERS: Mrs. Jerry Kinley, Pres.; Mr. E. L.

Records fell like opponents — Alex Westbrook’s 1,057 yards in only nine games; 46 points in the first half against King; and finally, the 56-7 vic- tory over Catawba. For Richard Winn it was truly the year of the Eagle.” RWA15 St. Stephens 6 RWA 8 Thomas Hart 15 RWA16 Lawrence Manning 12 RWA20 Carolina 33 RWA24 Camden 0 RWA37 Long Cane 14 RWA42 Andrews 6 RWA46 King 18 RWA 6 Clarendon Hall 12 RWA22 Thornwell 12 RWA56 Catawba 7 56 5 7 1.

Only junior and senior players had sponsors and from this group of 14, the queen was selected by the student body and the sweetheart by the team members. Another Richard Winn “first” occurred as Miss Jennifer Pope was crowned both Sweetheart and Homecoming Queen. 59 1. Beth Nichols and Deanie Collins 2. Jufie Brooks and Randy Fowler 3.
