What’s New Classes, People,and Trends Always Grow Old and Comfortable “Who’s the new student?”, “Have you heard we're having a new Christmas Formal Dance?” The year brought new students, new trends in clothes, new tapes, and even new classes. New students are always ex- pected, and the Student Coun- cil had a luncheon to welcome many of the over forty new students. Giving the school a new look was an “over Christmas” proj- ect. The walls were repainted and the teacher’s lounge re- ceived carpeting. Mrs. Bassett moved into her new office, complete with a fancy waiting area, during early February. Other remodeling news in- cluded the announcement of air conditioning for the main building. Art became an added elec- tive class, taught by Mrs. Lind- strom. Over twenty students enrolled and several entered county and state wide contests. Anything from perspective drawing and “junk” sketches to printing their work gave each new appreciation for creativity. School was not the only area bombarded by an array of new and interesting ideas. Nerds ce- real could now be found as a part of one’s well balanced breakfast. 7-Up now included a cherry fla- vor, and was classified as “cool” and pink”, and Diet Sprite intro- duced a new look with a green and white can. New, old and comfortable. The Christmas Dance became the “first annual”, the new faces grew familiar, the paint lost its odor, and art became an accepted and appreciated hall display. Tiffany tapes, Lollery tickets, and “Colors” perfume by Benetton are just a few of the must-have” items on fashion- conscious students bulletin board. What’s New 29

Sunland’s Boothes Give Fall A Facelift Moonwalk Becomes the Big Money- Maker Knock, knock. “Excuse me, but could I borrow a couple of strong boys to help set up.” This could be heard all day as Mrs. Martha Sapp was trying to get everyone and everything ready by 5:30. Setting up this year was a little easier because of booths and games borrowed from Sun- land, Inc. of Marianna. Every- one had their fingers crossed and prayed that the rain would cease before nightfall. It looked hopeless, but after a while it did stop. It was a wonderful evening and everyone especially en- joyed a new attraction — the Moon Walk which was provid- ed by the Kindergarten classes. They were the leading money- makers for the evening. The Booster Club’s annual pilau and hamburger suppers provided par- ents an option to cooking. The M M Guess sponsored by the Beta Club was won by Cody Vanlandingham who guessed 1988. At the Cake Walk Juniors played M.C. on the microphone. There wasn’t a talent show this year, but the new attractions seemed to fill the void. The kindergarten's addition of a Moon- walk to the Fall Carnival's attractions ap- pealed to many students and was one of the largest money makers of the evening. Assisting the girls with their fishing gear, Matt Bell works the fith grades fish pond under the supervision of the teachers and parents. Fall Carnival 31
