The blackbird in the upper left corner was the mascot of Rocky Mount High School before the merger in 1969. The lion in the upper right corner was the mascot of Booker T. Washington High School. ln order to initiate unity, the two mascots were combined to pro- duce a new mascot, the Gryphon. W, Y, W ff!

Doyle Title - 1 The Legend Continued A true symbol of excellence twas rewarding, it was frustrating. It was a time of tradition, it was a time of change. It was a time to go by the book, it was a time to go for it all. lt was a time of triumph, it was a time of defeat. Most of all, it was a time for maturing, a time for the legend to continue. lt began with controversy. The student body tolerated, yet resented, a new 18- page discipline code - a more exacting set of rules, adopted by the Board of Edu- cation. However, refusing to be daunted, students and faculty continued with de- termination. The entire system resolved to endure the mandatory reaccreditation by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges and demonstrate the school's potential. Superintendent Larry Coble made the slogan Where Quality Education ls A Fact well known. Fourteen hundred and twenty-seven students continued to carry on the legends which were united 13 years ago with the merger of Booker T. Washington and Rocky Mount High Schools in 1969. With the merger, new traditions began. ln an effort to retain individuality and yet to foster unity, representatives from the two student government organizations com- bined their mascots, the Lion and the Blackbird, to form a new one, the GRYPHON. From this difficult trans- formation, the Gryphon soared. Soon the students of the late sixties and the seven- ties began to cherish this mythological creature. As their pride grew, their accomplishments increased in academics, athletics, and the arts. By 1982 every student, in spite of his dis- appointments, knew the Gryphon was unique - a true symbol of excellence. Edited by Melanie A. Sherk Diff 4 8 3 fl. . W W3 52 it K.

Thelegend conunued A students viewpoint When we were sopho- mores we didn't know anything. We were tough kids thinking we were it, We had it all together, nothing could touch us. We were the cream of the crop. The public called us angels so we wore our halos proud. But soon we found that things do go wrong. We found that experiences could be cruel and bitter. We sometimes hated everything about this place, but there were so many times that we were in love with itg there was nothing we wouldn't do for it. And so we cried . . . we found that we could be touched. We knew that , , we were seniors. - Jeannette Everette Introduction - 5 r L it , X The legend continued in Student Life Rocky Mount, small town, U.S.A. What does a town of only 46,000 citizens have to offer a teenager for entertain- ment? lf someone asked this question to a senior high stu- dent in 1960 or in 1982, the answer would probably be nothing During the summer every- body does the same old thing, senior Mark Beard said. Usually, there's nothing different to do. Although the students often complained about the lack of entertainment, they always found something to do. When school opened, they found many more activities, sports, and clubs to get involved in, such as band, football, cheer- leading, and various jobs. Even though t.he students were still caught in the what can l do dilemma, they somehow entertained them- selves, which Senior High teenagers have seemed to do from generation to genera- tion. Mary M.

Student life divider - 7 K, Doyle Summer brings break from school routine When summer arrived, students breaking away from Uwe old school day routine went their own sepa- rate ways. Many students packed up and headed for the beach or other resorts while others simply found ways to occupy themselves at home. Several students even traveled abroad. The experience turned out to be exciting, and if students have the chance to travel abroad, they should take advantage of the opportuni- ty, said junior Michael Williams who visited Mexico over the summer. The World's Fair, held in Knoxville, Tennessee, attracted many students and faculty members. However, the fair seemed to lack student appeal. When asked how they like it, most students responded as did junior Sharon Armstrong: l enjoyed it, but a lot of it was a waste of money. Hotel rates were ridiculous, but the pavilions were good. Other students found part time jobs to occupy their time but more importantly to gain extra money. Still ot.hers took an altogether different approach to sum- mer. They preferred to share their time with All My Chil- dren , General Hospital , and other soap operas. Lounging in front of the tube, they matched wits with game show contestants and listened to the sound of bells and buzzers well into the day. Movies and concerts were also popular means of enter- tainment away from the heat. Of all the movies l saw this summer, Rocky lll was best. l cried and became emotionally involved, junior Cheryl Henke said. Several bands, including Van Halen and Prince, toured in North Carolina drawing an abundance of Senior High students. Senior Mike Ayers said, My favorite concert was at a nightclub played by the Flock of Seagulls. Afterwards, l met the whole band. Senior Anthony Pittman said, Prince has a good concept of what the audi- ence likes. The show was terrific. Dorothy A.

Doyle Summer - 9 Student beauty aids - the aggravations go on If eyeglasses did not exist, if curl- ing irons had never been invented, and if braces were just a figment of someones imagination, there would certainly be a lot of partially blind, stringy-headed, and snag- gle-toothed people roaming the halls of Senior High. Many students took for granted all the accessories they used to beautify their appearance or to help them in some other manner. Junior Melanie Raper's dependence on her curling iron was strictly a matter of habit and security. My curling iron doesn't really do any goody it just makes me feel better and secure, Melanie said. Both students and teachers relied on these various aids. A large number, if not the majority, of teachers wore glasses or contacts. I couldn't teach without my glasses, English teacher Elizabeth Hardy said. Using the aids was by no means fun and games. Long hours of wearing bulky curlers and repeated cleanings of smudged glasses were obstacles that some people wished they had never had to face. The first few days of adjusting to new braces were especially painful. When l first got my braces l didn't think l would be able to stand them for two years, sophomore Carmen Coley said. The dusty autumn atmosphere was extremely bothersome to contact wearers. My contacts have really been bothering me lately. Some times they are just a pain! senior Ashley Tulloss said one autumn afternoon. Practically every student depended on some sort of aid, whether it was an expensive 1250-watt high powered hair dryer or a cheap pair of dime store sunglasses. Suzanne P. Dix ,Z D.

Each car, 5 ,Q like its driver, had a unique person- 3- E ' ality. For instance, the adventur- A ous vehicle modeled the latest in bf - ,Q , army camouflage, while the more ' WL- ff conventional vehicle preferred the classic look. Also popular was the contemporary GQ mobile complete with sunroof, tinted windows, and a gleam that just wouldn't quit. Some cars yelled from across the lot, but others, content to go un- noticed, seemed to hide in the crowd. Weeks before school opened, however, the parking lot was used for something other than parking. The marching band, preparing its show for the fall, spent many hours of concen- trated practice on the scorching asphalt. The lot provided a level marching surface, adequate space to march, and con- siderably fewer bugs than the lower field. Each morning, students piled into the parking lot in an attempt to beat the tardy bell. Oddly enough, someone al- ways managed to hit trash barrels which always seemed to insist on occupying good parking spaces. ln such cases, students were simply forced to push them to the side or ram into them, whichever method sufhced. Haste characterized the lot. The new discipline code added to the flurry. The code prohibited loitering in the lot defining loitering as taking any more time than is necessary to park the cars, pick up books, lock t.he car, and walk through the parking lot. At 3:21 the parking lot was a mass of confusion. Each student was sure his destination demanded his presence first. lt's pretty bad after school. At 3:21 everybody races for the parking lot, making it hard for people to get out, senior Terri Sawyer said. Dorothy A.

Her friends came by to get her, and they went to Mama Jeans. Be- tween them they ordered a large pizza and drinks. They finished eat- ing, played a few games of Pac Man, and talked with all the guys. Bored with this, they left and cruised around. As luck would have it, they found a party and stopped. At the same time, Chris Cruiser and a couple of his friends went to the party after having cruised around for some time. Here everybody was just in a great mood and had a cold drink. The stereo played, everybody danced and talked. Another typical Friday night for the Senior High student. Oh, l just go wherever the action is, sophomore Billy Poplin said. Most students didjust that on weekend nights. l like going to Sportsworld because of soul night, junior Cassandra Hardy said. Me and my girlfriend just get together and go to a movie or something, senior Dave Griffin said. Money sometimes presented a problem for stu- dents' weekends. Even with myjob I sometimes find myself without the money to do all the things l want to do, senior Chris Culpepper said. Jeff A.

Doyle Entenainmenr - 17 Student entertainment - the partying goes on There you were, watching the movie, and suddenly a stick swung right beneath your nose. Then an eyeball flew towards you and a speargun practically stabbed you between the eyes. The story evolved around a lunatic killer in the woods at Camp Crystal Lake. The movie was Friday the 13th Part 3, 3-D, one of the more unusual of the season. Thousands of people loved the suspense and violence of this movie, yet even more found a place in their heart for E.T., that little creature from outer space. E.T. proved to be by far the most popular movie of the season, staying at a local theatre for over three months. E.T. was a very touching movie, I loved every minute of it, junior Melodie Bulluck said. Many students gathered at Mama Jeans to view the big television screen in the party room. Music Television gained the interest of many people. l think MTV is fun because it is like you are really there with the groups, junior Robin Sall- enger said. MTV either showed the popular groups of to- day singing or perfomiing videos that pertained to the songs. Popular songs ranged from Van Halen's hard rocking hits such as Pretty Woman and Dancing in the Streets from their Diver Down album to the soft streamlined rock of Asia from their number one debut album entitled Asia. From the soul sounds came the Jazz Band with their number one smash Let it Whip. Listening to music, whether at home or riding around is a casual way to relax and let yourself go, sophomore Jim Booth said. Some music is so awesome, l find myselftotally caught up in it. Music is really a great way to get away from it all. Jeff A.

How late did you stay up planning your wardrobe in hopes that he would notice you? The opposite sex was a main concern for students. Stu- dents used much of their spare time worrying about whether they were going to be asked out or whether she would accept the invitation. Sometimes she didn't accept the invitation. Rejection is the worst feeling you can possibly imagine. lt's a real blow to the ego, an anonymous male student said. Rejection can make you feel so low that you resort to calling the 'for a good time' number on the bathroom wall, another male student said. While guys had to cope with open rejection, girls had to face a more subtle form of it - another Saturday night at home. lt's pretty bad when you know Mr. Roarke better than that fine guy who sits beside you in English, 'a female student said. But some girls didn't just sit back and wait for that anticipated phone callg they took initiative. Rocky Mount is so boring - if you don't chase guys, there's nothing to do, another female student said. Many girls chose Mama Jean's or The Pub to flirt with prospective dates in hopes that next weekend would bring better luck. Although the majority of the students had to deal with the fear of a dateless weekend, some were fortunate for perhaps unfortunatej enough to have a steady sweetheart . , . These students were those who were always talking in some out-of- the-way spot before school, writing 13-page love notes , walking hand-in-hand down the hall, and, every other day, fighting over who was talking to whom. I think it's great for boys and girls to go steady -just as long as they change sweethearts often, said English teacher Elizabeth Hardy, whom students considered to be the num- ber one faculty match-maker.

Student love life - 21 Holiday activities vary as students grow older A young child anxiously roamed around his neighborhood dressed like a vampire as he trick-or- treated on Halloween. High school students attended masquerade parties and engaged in mischie- vious pranks like rolling some- one's house or scaring young trick-or-treaters. Elementary school students anticipated Thanksgiving as they studied the first Thanksgiving dinner. Many Senior High students were unable to enjoy the holidays as they did when they were younger. Thanksgiving vacation could have been great if l didn't have to read so much for certain classes, junior Steve Gay said. While young children anxiously awaited Christmas mom- ing, they could be seen glued to the television as reruns of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snow- man were shown. For Senior High students Christmas vacation was a time for relaxation, Christmas shopping, Christmas parties, and visiting with relatives. The members of the marching band spent much of their vacation in Florida at The Great Bands of the Orange Bowl Competition. Easter was once a time for Easter egg hunts and Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny, but to high school students Easter vacation was a time for many to retreat to the beach for some long awaited entertainment. Other students spent the Easter vacation recuperating from the busy winter months of seemingly endless homework. The baseball team spent half of their vacation playing in the annual Breakfast Optimist Club's Baseball Tournament. What had once been a highly celebrated occasion like Halloween or Thanksgiving turned into an escape from the pressures of school as students grew older. Students looked forward to holidays for different reasons than those of youn- ger children. Holidays are just a time to sit back and let all the pressure ease up, junior Denise Cooper said.

Traditionally, Spirit Week featured Blue and Gold Day, Fifties Day, and Baby Day. To deal with the problem of students ex- hausting their school spirit on the four days before Homecoming, the school spirit committee chose to have only three spirit days. The spirit days began on Wednesday with Punk Day, repeated because of its popularity. Students entering the school looked as though they should be attending a punk rock night club. The typical attire for the day consisted of an oversized garbage bag, zebra striped tennis shoes, metallic gold pants, black lipstick, and orange frizzy hair. Hush Button Day, Thursday, was a combination of several ideas presented to the school spirit committee. The boys enjoyed trying to coax silent girls into handing over their Hush Buttons. The guys used a variety of lines from 'AWill you go out with me this weekend? to Did you hear that we had a major test in algebra today? hoping to catch some girl off guard and confiscate her Hush Button. The flirtatious winner, senior Vincent McKnight, was awarded a free pina at Mama Jean's and two tickets to the game for collecting 47 Hush Buttons. Friday's Super-Soph, Super-Senior Day was the traditional respect yours elders day. I think the spirit days went really well. Hush Button Day was especially popular because it was easier for students to get involved in as opposed to dressing up, said senior Karen Doyle, school spirit committee chair- man. The selection of the traditional Homecoming court was also altered. The Phalanx club, who sponsored the Home- coming court, decided to add two seniors to the court having two seniors as representatives and two seniors as the queens. For the first time, the winning girls were revealed during the pep rally. I like the idea of announcing the winners at the pep rally because no one knows who the winners are, and every- one is surprised, junior Tracey Sutton said. The mini-parade retained its customary format. However, due to a lack of members, the Service club did hand over the job of sponsoring the parade to the Phalanx club. The judges followed tradition by choosing the senior class float with the theme of Gryphons Are Purr-feet as the winner. l like the changes made in the Homecoming activities. l just don't think everyone had enough time to show their spirit during the pep rally, junior Michelle Roberson said. As the Homecoming activities drew to a close, the football team defeated the Northeastern Eagles 33-16 to gain another traditional Homecoming victory. Suzanne P.

Susan Socializer threw her alarm clock across the room as it buzzed - at 6:45 a.m. She dragged herself 1 ag out of bed and blindlyjumped into the shower. By 8:10 she was physi- 5 cally ready for school. At 8:20 she pulled into the student parking lot and reluctantly grabbed her un- touched books and plodded into the institutional-green con- crete block maze. During her first period English Literature lecture, Susan counted the number of blocks on all four walls three times. Susan represented the majority of the students on any given Monday morning. l wish Monday's had never been invented - they're absolutely horrible! senior Rondell Wright said. After exerting more energy in a 48-hour weekend than in the entire preceeding week, students used such classes as English and algebra to catch up on their much-needed sleep. As the week progressed, these same students found them- selves primed for the approaching weekend. Finally after many hours of daydreaming about the up- coming weekend, Friday afternoon arrived. Susan counted down, second-by-second, the minutes of her sixth period physics class. As soon as the 3:21 bell rang, she dashed out the doors prepared to dive head-first into another typically exciting weekend. And the cycle continued. Melanie A.

Coming to school bright and early on a Monday morning is no way to begin a week, senior Michelle Mosley says as she prepares for another long week at school. The Monday morning blahs are particularly evident in this English class as seniors Julie K' Doyle Fisher, Ann Joyner, Jimmy Slape, and Mandy Thayer show their difficulties in being attentive. i K. Doyle MondayslFridays - 27 Hi fashion dominates 'the High' scene i I have absolutely nothing to wear, says Valerie Vogue glancing through her wardrobe of Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Oscar de la Renta. Rejecting them all, she reaches for the faded Levi's with the worn knees and tattered seams. Quite pleased with her selection, Valerie puts on her fa- vorite imported 10023 cashmere sweater and Ralph Lauren blazer to complement her jeans and is ready to face the world. For years students relied on the old faithful Levi's for quality and comfort without the expensive price tag. Apparently, the Levi Strauss slogan, 'Quality that doesn't go out of style,' made its impact. Levi's are great. They have always been popular, and I think they will always be in be- cause of their good quality, junior Kim Pierce said. In the last few years Lee jeans made a noticeable advance onto the fashion scene. Their new-found fame may have been attributed to their designer look and fit. Like designer jeans which cornered the fashion market as comfort was sometimes sacrificed for style, Lee earned its own identity. The popularity of designerjeans gave a whole new meaning to denim. Members Only was the name in jackets. They were an instant hit with students right down to the name brand on the front pocket. The shortjackets were made of a relatively new lightweight fabric called chinz. An exclusive club? one may have asked. Possibly. The only known requirement, however, was the Members Only price tag. The executive look was synonymous with style for '83. Pinstripes, bow ties, cummerbunds, and tuxedo-front shirts made their way into the picture. Inspired by such books as One Hundred and One Uses for a Dead Preppie. girls liber- ated themselves from the bondage of prep. Into the real world they stepped, armed with a Seventeen magazine and a dictionary marked at the page headed vogue . Take off those blue jeans, and get yourself some bag- gies, Morris Day of the band Time said. That's exactly what many students did, although they did not abandon theirjeans altogether. Knit ties completed the look. Who set these fashion trends? Senior Karen Howard, a member of Amateur Models Incorporated QAMIJ, hoped to be the answer to that question one day as a fashion designer. The advantages of being in AMI are exposure, glamour, travel, and experience, she said. AMI Fashion Inovators was established in 1981. It toured local areas giving fashion shows. Dorothy A.

Fashion - 29 Dieters make attacks on excess pounds Students and faculty members directed massive attacks against those unwanted pounds and in- ches that were so difficultly lost. Frustrated with looking in the mir- ror and never having to wonder where their last meal went to, they pushed, prodded, squeezed, and inched excess pounds into clothes that simply refused to comply. Many students and teachers were compulsive dieters who eagerly adhered to the 'lose 12 pounds in a week' diet. Devouring luscious dieting propaganda available in super- market check-out aisles and on television, they tried to be- come the petite models that the media displayed to sell its products. Usually all that were lost were money spent on food for exotic diets and any future desires for those foods. The more practical approach to weight loss, however, involved a sensible diet in addition to a comprehensive exer- cise program. Some programs suggested jogging as an alternative to strenuous exercise. l enjoy jogging because it helps me relieve built-up tension and gives me a chance to keep fit, junior Kathy Mosley said. Some students and teachers preferred to dance off excess pounds. Aerobics and jazzercise, relatively new exercises utilizing the soothing effects of music, were pleasant im- provements on an otherwise tedious routine. At the com- mand of professional instructors, they stretched and reached to tone muscles and eliminate flab. Some people practiced this contemporary exercise pro- gram in their homes with the aid of albums recorded ex- pressly for that purpose. They shaped up to the instruction of Jane Fonda or Richard Simmons. Reading lab teacher Debbie Webb began ajazzercise class for teachers which met on Tuesday and Thursday after- noons. l missed all the physical activities and exercise of teaching physical education. Also, l thought other teachers would be interested in trimming down and keeping fit, Mrs. Webb said. Dorothy A. Batts N.

Shopping for clothes, junior Melodie Bulluck realizes how much weight she has lost.

Sophomore Steve Bastian enjoys jogging every now and then as exercise and relaxation. Sophomore Sandra Powell eats a skimpy salad to watch her weight as sophomores Danielle Hannon and Tina Wilkins pig out. C, Bradshaw Joggingfdieting - 3 l Rallies send spirits soaring to the max 'Tm so glad l go to Senior High, chanted the students as the ener- gies of the first pep rally set the gym on fire. The pep band played as the seniors, with that distinctive pride in their strides and gleam in their eyes, made their debut on the scene. Enticed by the heat of the moment, the students cheered, declaring their allegience to the awesome Gryphon Machine. Pompons, ribbons, banners, and music set the stage as the pep rally got into full swing. What's it all for? an onlooker may have asked. lt wasn't easy to understand un- less you were a Gryphon. Sophomores, relishing their first opportunity to participate in a Gryphon-style pep rally, joined right in with the upper- classmen as the football players proudly strutted across the court to the up-beat tempo of the event. The juniors drowned out the sophs, and, of course, the seniors had to let them know who was boss. The pep rally prior to the Northern Nash game was, by far, the favorite with students. The Northern Nash pep rally was best because it was the most spirited, and the fashion show was really funny, sophomore Lynn Butler said. The varsity cheerleaders performed a mock Miss North- ern Nash beauty contest, of which, senior Jenni Sewell was the supposedly esteemed mistress of ceremonies. Don't shejust make the water in your cement pond ripple? Jenni asked as one of the contestants advanced. Clad in the latest fashions, the beauties strutted their stuff across the floor, inciting hisses and boos from the audience. The fashions included a mixture of nauseating preppy colors, hicktown farmwear, hoodlum attire, and a ridiculous attempt at vogue. The contest was won by none other than Miss 'l Wish I Went to Senior High'. However, Miss Northern Spirit, clad in a raincoat and displaying all the spirit of a brick wall, gave her a run for her money. Dorothy A. Batts Proudly donning their blue and gold ribbons, seniors Melanie Sherk and Angie Herbert show their school spirit. Junior Arthur Barnes. giving it all he has, reaches for that high note. 32 - Pep rallies '17 JIU? 1 if A 'S' ff-X Q. KA Doyle A.

During the Miss Northern Nash beauty contest, junior Mary Futrell displays the typical Northern spirit. Claiming their superiority as seniors, the Class of '83 demonstrates their Gryphon spirit. Pep rallies - 33 Major entertainment features messy food The guy whom you've spent most of your class hours day- dreaming about since seventh grade asked you out. lt was a rather casual date: to a movie, then to a pizza place, but you had to do ev- erything just right. You wanted this guy to think you were ultra cool, calm, and collected. That age old ritual of eating made the attempt rather difficult. You didn't exactly pull off that polished image with salad dressing running down your chin. After the salad -the main course - a medium pepperoni and sausage Sicilian-style pizza. You deliberated at least 15 minutes on whether to eat it with a fork or tojust pick it up and bite it. Will he think l'm too dainty if l use my fork? But if l use my hands, he'll think l'm a slob! you convinced yourself. Finally you decided to be daring and bite it. Then HOR- RORSI Just as your molars touched that mozerella cheese, tomato sauce slopped all over the place, and worst of all, all the pizza toppings slid from the crust to form a nice little design on that gorgeous sweater you got for Christmas. The above scene was, unfortunately, all too common on Friday and Saturday nights. There were just too many foods that were impossible to eat gracefully, including pizza, salads, and tacos. There were countless minutes during which you debated whether to go ahead and try to stuff that hunk of lettuce into your mouth or to cut it into smaller pieces first. Quite often you made the more challenging choice but lived to regret it later. Tacos were one of the more awkward entrees to eat. There was no way to hold one daintily, and then as soon as you bit into it, the cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce spilled all over your plate. As you looked across the table, you noticed your date choking because he was laughing so hard at your hardly graceful manner of eating. Tracey M. Brown and Melanie A. Sherk With mozerella cheese streaming from their mouths, senior Mandy Thayer and sophomore Alicia Johnson eat pizza in a not quite sophisticated manner.

Messy Foods - 35 Students find means to obtain the green Each committed to his own cause, they stalked the corridors relentlessly. Their prey: unsuspect- ing victims. They approached with the intent of getting what they wanted and usually pursued the prey until they did so . . . The stalkers were students in- volved in various fund-raising acti- vities sponsored by their respective clubs and organizations. The sales of ribbons, pompons, keychains, bumper stickers, not to mention - candy, filled the school. Almost everything fwithin limitsj that could be sold was sold. The jingle of coins and the familiar plea, Change for a dollar? vibrated throughout school. Magazine sales didn't quite meet the quota of 520,000. Seniors led the way with sales totaling 55,977, followed by the sophomores with 55,936, and the juniors trailed with 54,287 at the end of the contest. The seniors, looking to the juniors to fund the junior- senior prom, were somewhat dismayed with the lack of enthusiasm displayed by the Class of '84. Thejunior class is really slack! l'm going to be awfully mad if they don't give us a good junior-senior, senior Paige Dunlap said. Band students sponsored car washes at several points throughout Rocky Mount to raise money to finance trips to marching band competitions. Also, the band held a festival at City Lake to help inspire support from the community for the band program. Much of the time and effort that went into the preparation for such a huge undertaking came from the Band Boosters, comprised of band parents. At the festival were video games, live music, and numerous other attrac- tions. The American Field Service club sold fresh Florida naval oranges and pink grapefruit to help fight inflation. The stu- dent who sold the most fruit received an all-expense-paid trip in the short term exchange program in the spring. Dorothy A.

Saz ' if e:-, , 4 Z Students donate time, gain great satisfaction Satisfaction was the key as many students felt the need to lend a helping hand to others. Doing volunteer work gave students a gratified feeling about themselves. I think everyone should help peo- ple who are less fortunate than they, junior Lynne Freeman said. Students found compensation in a variety of volunteer activities. Junior Marvin Wood aided the community as a volunteer fireman. A number of students served as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Several students found great rewards in delivering meals and toys to needy families at Christmas. The National Honor Society members donated a great deal of their time to setting up the Red Cross Bloodmobile at its various locations. The health occupations classes participated in a number of rewarding volunteer projects. Most of the students were volunteers for the Red Cross, and they handled the publicity for the bloodmobile. Other Red Cross volunteers helped out by registering donors to give blood. Several students volunteered to help elderly people in nursing homes. Mrs. Margie Brantley, health occupations teacher and HOSA club adviser, said many of her students found satisfaction by assisting the nurses or just delivering flowers and mail to the appreciative senior citizens. Seniors Sarah Phillips, Wendy Joyner, Mandy Thayer, and Ernest White and juniors Floyd Williams, Dennis Trevathan, and Arthur Bell served as peer counselors for Pope Elementary School. The main objectives for the counselors were to be sensitive listeners and to promote self-exploration and decision-making. lt's a rewarding feeling to know that I might be helping some of the kids with their problems, junior Dennis Trevathan said. Suzanne P. Dix C. Bradshaw As Red Cross volunteers, junior Nina Fisher and sophomores Alecia Johnson and Lou Ann Oakley register senior Marshall White and junior Troy Sharpe to give blood.

N, Lucas Volunteers - 39 Gdd jobs overcome financial problems With the economy the way it was, students often wondered where their next dollar would come from. How could they afford mat Friday night date that they had been looking forward to for days? Where would they get the money for that once in a lifetime concert on Saturday night? Gas, lunch, dates, and movies werejust a few of the financial problems in the life of a teenager. Gas cost around 51.20 per gallon for unleaded, lunch at a fast food restaurant cost about 52.50, and movies cost 53.50. Odd jobs often provided the extra income that was needed for these activities. From the ever popular task of babysitting to the not so popular job of cleaning gutters, students somehow managed to get by. Students also washed cars, raked leaves, cut wood, and ran errands as oddjobs. Babysitting is a pretty easy way to earn money, and l really don't mind doing it, sophomore Cindy Wise said. Some students even took on several odd jobs because of greater financial needs. I will rake, mow, clean, or whatever needs to be done as long as I have the money coming in, sophomore Rick Edmondson said. Jeff A.

Because of our work load this year, it's hard to make time to watch the news every night, junior Melanie Raper said. On the national scene, President Ronald Reagan's would- be assasin, John Hinckley, Jr., pleaded temporary insanity to the charge of attempted murder. After much psychiatric evaluation, conflicting testimony, and deliberation, a jury of his peers found Hinckley innocent of the February assasina- tion attempt on the life of the President. Yet another attack was lodged against morality when the Tylenol murderer struck. Cyanide-laced capsules took the lives of seven people. Llntil tamperproof seals could be put on the bottles to prevent further contamination, the capsules were taken off the shelves. ln the Soviet Union, millions of people mourned the death of their President, Leonid Brezhnev. After 18 years as Presi- dent, Brezhnev left the reigns of the government in the hands of former KGB head Yuri Andropov. On a happier note, Prince Charles' bride, Princess Diana, gave birth to the heir to the throne, William Prince of Wales. England's new royal family adorned the covers of books and magazines all over the world. The Palestine Liberation Organization guerrilla forces in- vaded West Beirut, and for months the fighting continued. President Reagan sent Ll.S. Marines to oversee the peaceful removal of the P.L.O. from Lebanon. Many of the troops were from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. At home, gas prices were on the decline. Regular gasoline cost 1.05, compared to 1.30 in 1981. A new 59? gas tax was imposed by the federal government to secure funds for roads and bridges. On the sports scene, the National Football League strike changed the normal Sunday afternoon routine for millions of football fans. The strike allowed men to spend more time with their families, a change which pleased many housewives across the country. When the players finally returned to work, there were many stadium seats left unoccupied. An Australian group took the pop music charts by storm. The new band, Men At Work, made its way to the top 10 with its hit single, Who Can lt Be Now? and the title cut from the album, Down Linder . For the second year in a row Lionel Richie held the top spot of both soul and pop charts, this time with his smash, Truly . The number one song of 1982 was the theme of the movie, Rocky Ill , entitled Eye of the Tiger by the band, Survivor. Dorothy A. Batts 42 - World occurrences S M, i 2 3 f K. Doyle K, Doyle H.

World occurrences - 43 1 The legend continued in Sports Throughout Gryphon histo- ry the sports program has touched many more students than just the athletes them- selves. For a majority of the girls, a Friday night football game meant a hopeful date or maybe just a chance to watch that special player in action. For others, there was always that great moment after the game when a sweaty, grimy, but still great looking, player walked towards her with open arms to get that big hug. Socializing was the farthest thing from the minds of a group of people that did a lot of work behind the scenes. For managers, trainers, and statisticians, games and prac- tices meant hours and hours of taping ankles, washing jerseys, and fixing equipment. From the beginning of August to the end of May, these stu- dents spent most of their spare time in the field house working to provide greatly needed assistance. To twelve cheerleaders, sports meant planning pep rallies, freezing to death in short uniforms, and thinking of creative ways to boost Gryphon spirit. Finally, there were the play- ers and coaches. Through the years this was one of the groups that gave Senior High a winning reputation. These people were generally char- acterized by winning records, good sportsmanship, and a strong sense of pride. This year marked a special event in sports in that Head Football Coach Walt Wiggins won his 100th game. Many different parts work- ing together often bring suc- cess, and the Gryphons' ath- letic program was no excep- tion. With students and faculty getting involved and support- ing the teams, the winning tradition continued.Mary M.

At times we really played outstanding and exciting baseball. After averaging 20 wins per season the last four years, the Gryphons had a 10-13 record. We won many of the games against tough opponents such as Northern Nash, but we fell short too many times against supposedly weaker teams, catcher Marshall White said. Although the Gryphons' season wasn't up to par, they did receive runner-up in the Easter Tournament, losing in the finals to North- ern Nash, 5-3. Mary M.

None of the returning players were seniors, but even without seniors the team finished with a Hnal score of 9-5 in conference play and 12-6 overall. The team had four all conference players: seniors Denise Batts, Paula Joyner, Charlane Lee, and Beulah Battle. Another player spurring the team with clutch hitting and consistent defense was senior Vivian Farmer, said Coach Rhodes. According to Coach Rhodes after the team started rolling, they played really well. The point spreads of the games they won seemed to increase as the season progressed. ln the fifteenth game of the season the Gryphons routed Hunt 22-4. ln their final game against Kinston, to determine conference champs, the Gryphons rallied back to score six runs in the final inning, but they lost by one point. Next year's team ought to be power packed and very experi- enced. Coach Rhodes said, We expect to go to the state finals.

There will probably be only a few players that will be able to help the varsity and the rest will play j.v. again, Coach Chesson said. Another year ofj.v. baseball will give those players, who did not make varsity experience, that they need for varsity baseball. The golf team finished fifth in the conference. l felt that we improved better as a team because of our consistent playing, senior Brent Bunn said. There were many good players in the conference, but l think we could have done better, he added. Senior John Baker led the team as the number one player. Behind him were junior Jeff Vaughan, senior Larry Clark, and alumnus Scott Thomas. l felt that the top players carried their load throughout the season, John said. Neal D.

She is a good, tough coach. l have had a woman for a coach before, junior Reid Price said. She got better as she went along. lt didnt bother me that she was a woman, junior Mark Felton said. As for the outcome ofthe season, the netters were not as pleased. I was kind of disappointed because I thought we were better than our record showed, but since we have just about all of our top players returning next year, l think we have a good chance of winning the conference and possibly going undefeated, senior Richard Gurga- nus said. Disappointment was generally what l felt at the end of the season both in the team and myself. l was especially disappointed in the players further down the line. l felt there was only one team we played that was actually better than we were, senior Chris Janelle said. The team consisted of many talented players, Coach Bradshaw said. Number one seed senior Terry Ciratz went undefeated in the regular season and reached the semifinals in the sectionals. Senior Chris Janelle, the number two seed, finished the season with only two losses. Other key contributors were seniors Don Evans and Paul Shannon. l have a positive outlook on next season, and l feel the possibility of going undefeated is a sensible goal for the 1983 team, Coach Bradshaw said.

The highlight of the season was winning our first dual meet in several years. The lack of numbers hurt us in most competitions. Our strengths were in the field events, Coach Roscoe Batts said. Coach Batts said that outstanding performers included most valuable player, Tony Stokes, who specialized in the 200 and 400 meter event and advanced to the regionals in that category. Alumnus Coye Still, who received the Coaches' Award last year, advanced to the sectionals in shot put, along with senior Jimmy Morgan who performed in the 1 10 and 300 meter hurdles. Alum- nus Whitney Williams also made the sectionals and advanced to the regionals in hurdles. Senior Wayne Battle made the sectionals in the triple jump. The girls team finished with a 2-3 record and a fourth place seat in the conference. The girls fielded a very yc-ung and very small team consisting of only one senior. I was very pleased with the effort and dedica- tion that the girls showed, Coach Batts said. Outstanding performers included most valuable player, Lois Baker, a trackster specializing in the 100 and 200 meter event. Lois became the conference champion and later advanced to the regionals. Sandy Ess 41600 and 3200 meter J qualified for the sectionals. l was extremely pleased that we won two dual meets and with our fourth place finish in the conference.

Wayne hurt his knee which caused him to miss a few meets of the season. My injury occured in the second meet. The injury did affect my performance for the rest of the year, senior Wayne Battle said. The boys team had a lot of potential, butjust did not perform well, Coach Stan Bastian said. The boys team was victorious over Northeastern, Beddingfield, and Hunt High school. The boys team finished fourth in the conference. There were many strong teams in the conference such as Northern Nash and Greenville Rose that beat us in conference meets, Coach Stan Bastian said. Senior Sandy Ess led the girls team. Sandy is a very good runner, Coach Stan Bastian said. She finished top in all of the meets, he added. l think we had a good season. We had a good chance to go to the state finals, but we did not make it, sopho- more Nlarti Mucci said.

The varsity football team did win seven out of ten games, but this record wasn't good enough to get them to the State 4A Playoffs, The Big East Conference could only send one representative to the playoffs. Kinston High School, being the conference cham- pions, won the only spot from the league. The Gryphons got off to a strong start, winning their first five games, two of which were against long standing rivals Goldsboro and Greenville Rose. Both games were close defensive battles with the Giyphons beating Goldsboro 9-7 and Greenville 13-7. For the second year in a row, Northern Nash ended the team's unbeaten standing. The Knights downed the Gryphons by a core of 21-13. lt was a big let down being beaten two years in a row, especial- since this was my senior year, senior Bryan Sonnier said.

J. Burned 64 - Varsity football Varsity falls short We should have done a lot better. The team and the coaches were disappointed with the season, Coach Walt Wiggins said. Losing the last two games didn't help either. The Gryphons had a good shot at winning a binh in the State Playoffs even very late in the season, but they were going to have N to overcome a big obstacle - the Vikings of Kinston High School. When the match finally came, Rocky Mount took a terrible beating, with the game ending in a score of 20-O. The Gryphons were shut out for the first time since 1977, After this loss, the possibility of getting into the State Playoffs was gone, but a spot in the Division ll Playoffs, a lesser tourna- ment, was still in sight. However, this also became out of reach. With the Gryphons losing the final game to Wilson Fike, 17-7, Greenville Rose became eligible to play in the Division ll Playoffs. ln a couple of games it didn't seem like we were ready to play. lt was kind of like we werejust going through the motions, senior Joe Walker said. Awinning season, a record of seven wins and three losses, then why were so many people so disappointed? A 7-3 season is a good season, but we have been so success- that not playing any post season games was dissappointingj' Wiggins said. I think this is an indication of how good our 1 is because most high school teams would be overjoyed have that record. Mary M. Enderle K. Doyle J.

Senior Vincent McKnight and junior Derrik Byrd try to deflect a pass from the opponents quarterback. Varsity fo lb ll 65 J .V. pulls through Finishing the season with an overall record of 6-4 and a confer- ence record of 5-2 did not satisfy junior varsity football coach Shelton Chesson. We were better than any other team in the conference. We had the potential to go undefeated, but at first, the boys wouldn't listen to Coach Gerald Costen and me. When they finally did listen, we won our last five of six games, Coach Chesson said. One factor that allowed us to come through at the end of the season was the team's unity. We got along both on and off the field, sophomore Neil Avent said. Relying heavily on the arm of sophomore quarterback Roney Harris, the Baby Gryphs chose to use passing often. Our passing game was definitely the dominating force for us, Coach Ches- son said. Roney was a real good passer, but he couldn't have been successful without a strong offensive line, sophomore Robert Deans said. Roney found sophomore tight end James Avent and sopho- more split end Keith Evans throughout the season. James finished the season with 1 1 touchdowns and two 2-point conver- sions. Since the varsity will graduate many of its starters next season, the sophomores will have to fill the vacant positions. There are about 12 players who will have good playing time next year, Coach Chesson said. Jesma M. Evans Sopomore Cedric Mercer puts the speed on to get past his opponent.

Gryphs try for two Matching last year's record and perhaps a second shot at the State 4-A Championship Title was not going to be an easy task for the varsity basketball team. I think our chances of winning the state for the second consecutive year are little or none, Coach Reggie Henderson said. Voted number five in the conference, the Netters started off the pre-season play with important victories over Eastern Wayne and Goldsboro. ln the game against Goldsboro, the Gryphons gained prestige by defeating a nationally ranked basketball team with three All-American players. Winning over Goldsboro helped the morale of the team, but two victories do not predict how the rest of the season will go, Coach Henderson said. We've got pressure on us to defend the state title, but unless we work together, we won't come out on top, senior Harry Knight said. l think we will have a successful year. Coach Henderson is a great coach, and as a person, he's like a father, senior Byron Bellamy said. As to the outcome of the season, the Gryphons had mixed feelings. Trying for a second straight championship title won't be impossible as long as we work together, Coach Henderson said. Jesma M. Evans Varsity basketball K.

Varsity baskevball - 69 lt just wasn't enough For the second year in a row the boys varsity won the Big East Conference title. But because the conference could send only one representative to the State Playoffs the winner of the tourna- ment was allowed to advance. However, the Gryphons lost in the semi-finals to Wilson Beddingfield, and the season was unex- pectedly cut short. With a midseason record of 8-2 and a number one ranking in the conference, the team appeared to be a strong contender for another state title. But the stride towards Greensboro suddenly stumbled as the team lost three key players. Two players failed to meet academic requirements, and the other forfeited his place on the team for disciplinary reasons. Losing three players in midseason really affected our playing. Not only did we have to start all over, but the mental attitude was low too, Coach Reggie Henderson said. Losses piled up as the team frantically searched for that special combination of players to produce a winning team. Kelvin Brink- ley and Ernie Griffin started showing their ability, but itjust wasn't enough, Coach Henderson said. With the aid of these two players, the team's losses were close in many cases. Facing Northern Nash on their court had never been easy, and this match proved to be no exception. We knew it would be harder playing Northern without three players, junior Calvin Fitz said. When we lost to Northern, it made us realize that we were going to have to work to come out on top, junior Anthony Dupree said. The rest of the season proved to be encouraging as the team surpassed strong conference teams such as Wilson Hunt. Senior Chuck Robbins led with 14 points. The season turned around because of team character, Hen- derson said. But overall the season wasn't what we had wanted. Our game just wasn't strong enough to get to the playoffs. Jesma M.

After Kim returned, there was more playing on the inside and more ball move- ment, Coach Bradshaw said.

Several of the players on the team have shown great prospect and should make good varsity players in the future, junior varsity basketball Coach Gerald Costen said. However, the junior varsity basketball program did more than tune the athletic skills of the players. lt helped me know how important grades are to be a success- ful basketball player, and it helped me to do well in academics, sophomore Shawn Bethea said. One of the team's strong points was the majority of players having played together before at Edwards. When they first started playing high school basketball the players seemed intimi- dated by the new system and environment, head manager, senior David Thomas, said. The players had good quickness and size but seemed to practice and play tentatively, Coach Costen said. Eventually the team became more aggressive and finished the season 13-7. When they realized what they had to do to win, they began to play the basketball that l knew they were capable of playing, Coach Costen said. Led by sophomore center Tyrone Pride, who averaged 13 points and six rebounds per game, their powerful inside another of the team's assets. Accompanying Tyrone, guard Joey Griffin crashed the boards inside averaging seven rebounds per game while sophomore guard Keith contributed an average of 16 points per game. Kevin K.

Cooley moved on to the state championship and Hnished with tenth place. l was disappointed about the state, l know I could have done better than tenth, Cooley said. Cooley, along with Tracey Parker, Frankie Dixon and sopho- more Mike Webb, remained undefeated throughout the entire season and were the main causes for the 13-1 record. The only reason a wrestler is defeated is because of his own mistakes. I was very proud of the undefeated players, and l appreciate their dedication to the sport, Coach Stan Bastian said. At the Sectional Tournament, seniors Frankie Dixon and Tracey Parker placed second and third, respectively, in their divisions. Seven team members placed in the conference.

Juniors Sylvester Harrison and Mel- vin Hinton placed third, and Leon Cooley took fourth in the 147 pound division. Overall, a lack of student participation didn't seem to hinder the team's performance. To draw spectators, the team held a match in the gym in front of the student body to make them more aware of the sport. At most matches there are more parents and other adults than students. There was a good turnout at the match performed in front of the school, Coach Bastian said. Bastian also commented that he thought wrestling hadn't gotten enough coverage as a varsity sport in the past. lt's never mentioned to the school as a whole, like the other sports, Bastian said.

Cheerleading Girls deserve cheers Placing third in the International Cheerleading Foudation's Eastern Regional competition wasjust one accomplishment that revealed the superiority of the cheerleaders. The varsity cheerleaders placed second in overall competition at the International Cheerleading Foundations camp at Wes- leyan College and won the super spirit and cheer execution individual categories. Likewise, the junior varsity cheerleaders also placed second in their respective division. Determined to wear new uniforms, the cheerleaders held fun raisers to earn the money necessary to purchase the uniforms. One enterprise was a cheerleading clinic for grades one through seven. While teaching the youngsters cheerleading fun- damentals, the cheerleaders earned between five and six hun- dred dollars. The cheerleaders began practice the first of August for four hours a day, weeks before school started for most students. They also practiced every day of the week before a pep rally to prepare the routines and skits they presented, senior Kaye Lehman said. When football players found candy and other small gifts in their lockers before games, the cheerleaders were responsible, Mrs. Helen Nicholson, varsity cheerleader adviser, said. Through se- cret pals, each cheerleader was responsible for giving five play- ers a gift to boost their spirits before games. Everything we do is for the student body, the athletes and to promote school pride . . . that is our reward and satisfaction, junior Mary Futrell said. Kevin K.

Cheerleading - 81 New sports inaugurated The idea of having a soccer team was new to many, including the players. Although the team finished with a 2-lO-1 record, some of the members feel that the experi- ences they have gained will help them in the years to come. Well, the more experience you acquire, the better you become and l think l've gained some more skills to become a better player, sophomore Sean Braly said. Sophomore Andrew Raymond said, ul think that our record doesn't show the caliber of team that we are, There were about six games that we lost by one goal and about five we lost in the last five minutes. l think we will have a competi- tive team in the future because of the number of sopho- mores. The team was coached by Ed Moore, who played college soccer at Wesleyan. The team was not as good as we expected it to be, but for a first year team, it wasn't that bad, said Coach Moore. The players and Coach Moore say that they believe that having a soccer team is the beginning of new tradition here. Connie T.

They were mainly responsible for performing first aid, taping and wrapping, diagnosing and rehabilitating injuries of the players. The football managers were Tracey Moskovic, Ernie Suggs, James Arrington, and Pete Kobielnik. These managers were responsible for basic maintenance of equipment and having water and jerseys ready for the players.

We get more students in- volved by choosing the Hu- man Relations couple each month and by planning the Brotherhood Assembly, said senior Sonya Wiggins, co- chairperson of the Human Re- lations Committee. One of the more popular assemblies of the year was a concert by the 82 Division Army Band from Fort Jack- son, S.C. which was set up by the SRA. The SRA once again orga- nized the annual magazine campaign and TWIRP Dance. For the first time in three years, it sponsored an after k, Doyle exam jam, but this year it took the form of a soft-shoe dance so that the gym floor would retain its appearance for the remainder of basket- ball season. SRA advisers Katherine Lucas and Catherine Tedder and seniors Jeannette Everette, Mary Enderle, Vicki Hinton, and Chuck Robbins attended the North Carolina Association of Student Coun- cils Convention November 12-14 in Hickory.

They were responsible for the routine care of their buses. Although drivers were paid for their services, their job re- quired a great deal of devotion and reliability.

Although it is a pretty new organization, HOSA has grown steadily this year, ju- nior Sabih Hamad said.

HOSA - 107 Seeking many interests Students pursue School ended at 3:21 p.m., but for some students, the sound of the bell did not necessarily induce a time of play. Many students, whether in an organized group or merely in an informal group, used their time after school to pursue a variety of interests. These activities ranged from talents which could not be wcpressed in school to var- ious personal interests. Going home and sitting down with my bass guitar real- ly puts my mind at ease, ju- nior Scott Warner said. l like going to our farm and working assorted hobbies out with my horses, junior Martha Bandy said. The newly formed Junior Achievement program was sponsored by three area busi- nessesg Abbott Laboratories, Burlington Industries, and Hardee's Food Systems, Inc.

Selling hats was one method of raising money for the DECA club, DECA also sold candy. Selling hats will help spirit within the school and encour- age more people to attend basketball games, junior James Alston said. DECA's money went mainly to funding trips to various competitions. DECA dealt with marketing, sales, and service. DECA also concentrated on the area of merchandising. DECA pre- pares students for the realities of life, adviser Robert Horne said. Leadership development was a quality members of the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America experienced. VICA club activities, such as com- petitions, allowed the students to exercise skills in electrical engineering, masonry, auto mechanics and other skilled jobs. In addition to Industrial Cooperative Training, VICA had three new divisions: elec- trical engineering, masonry, and auto mechanics. In past years the VICA club was de- signed only for ICT students. VICA and DECA both spon- sored banquets in honor of outstanding employers who gave their support to the clubs. Members of both DECA and VICA competed in com- petitions of skill and leader- ship. These competitions be- gan at the regionals, advanced to a state level, and finally on to national competition. Jennifer A.

Exercising career roles Clubs provide vocational guidance Furthering student interest in child care, food services, home management, clothing, and child development was an objective of the Future Home- :makers of America, and Home Economic Related Occupations. FHAIHERO sold candy and hristmas figurines as their und raisers. The money they sponsored club activi- such as trips to district and state FHAIHERO meet- ings and competitions. Students competed in areas such as learning games for child development, cre- ative clothing display for cloth- ing textiles, a pictorial dis- play of interior design for home management, and foods and nutrition. Some members of the HERO club visited local elementary schools to work ,..s.a'3 'B with the children. These mem- bers were able to exercise their skills in child development.

While some students felt that academic requirements were not strict enough, others found it difficult to deal with what was expected of them. The attitude ofthe teachers, l think, is to prepare us to work completely on our own. Sometimes it's easy to feel lost. l would feel safer if l thought l was getiing a strong- er backgroundf' senior Jen- nifer Odom said. As in any other area, the stu- dents and teachers eachhad a different style of teaching and learning. Some teachers give so much homework that it's ridic- ulous, especially when it's on something brand new, senior Don Evans said. l guess homework does have its advantages, but I like it in moderation. When l teach, l take into consideration the students' learning style, Mrs. Katherine Tedder said. l gave my stu- dents a learning survey at the first of the year to help me adapt to them. l also like to use audiofvisual aids as music.

Sazama Journalism 'nerve-racking' Working in journalism is the most nerve-racking experience, however, being surrounded by such delightful and capri- cious people throughout the day makes up for all the hardships, Gryphon copy editor Tracey Brown said. lt takes a lot of work to produce the high-quality yearbook we have, but we also find time to have fun because working together lets us get to know each other better, Hi-Noc-Ar staff writer Jeff Bullock said. Not only did the journalism students publish the school newspaper and yearbook, but they wrote many of their own texts, including design manuals, style sheets, and job descriptions. Led by Hi-Noc-Ar editor Kim Vaughan and Gryphon editor Blair Churchill, the two publication staffs published the news and history of the students, faculty, and com- munity. The amount of work one has to do depends on what your responsibilities are, but the senior members have more to do, Hi-Noc-Ar chief photographer Karen Doyle said. We all put in our share and we feel it is well worth it, Gryphon staff writer Reggie Alston said of the newspaper staffs dead- lines. ln addition to their work on the pub- lications, journalism students wrote book reports and studied the different facets of journalism. Staff members examined writ- ing techniques, design, and radio and tele- vision broadcasting to earn academic credit for the classes. Both publications were entirely financed by staff members. Yearbook sales and newspaper advertising sales decreased as the recession deepened. ln order to publish as they had planned, staff members under- took to raise money by selling notecards designed by editors Kim and Blair. Kim sketched the new city hall, and Blair drew a scene of Falls of the Tar. Staff members and adviser Henrietta Barbour attended the annual Southern ln- terscholasfic Press Association convention in Columbia, South Carolina in March.

Sazama English - 119 Band tastes success The crowd roared and the palm trees swayed as the marching Gryphons per- formed their final show in the Great Bands of the Orange Bowl, a national competition, in Miami, Florida on December 29. The marching Gryphons not only defeated six other nationally ranked bands to win the contest, but the Auxillary placed first also. Later in the week of December 27 -Janu- ary 3, the band marched in the televised Orange Bowl Parade and the Disney World Parade. Upon returning from Florida, a po- liceman escorted the champions to Senior High, where reporters from ABC and NBC awaited. To advance to the status of national champions called for months of prepara- tion. Beginning on August 16 for two weeks, the marching band, led by drum major Ellen Braswell, learned its entire show, both the music and the marching. l discovered the meaning of work during band camp this summer, sophomore Jewel Sharpe said. The next step was to polish the show. Practices were held on Tuesday and Thurs- day nights, all day many Saturdays as well as the contests, which took many weekends. lt is senseless to spend so much time and effort on any one thing unless you are going all the way, band instructor John C. Sykes said. Next came the rewards for the hard work of the marching Gryphons, success. On September 25 at the Tropicana Contest in Greenville, South Carolina, the band won first place. Two weeks later in Cullowhee, North Carolina, the marching Gryphons won their division and placed third overall. To prepare for the national competition on November 6 in Johnson City, Tennes- see, complete changes were made in 60 percent of the show, We had to increase our score, so we added special effects such as a revolving triangle and arc flex, assis- tant instructor Mr. Kerr Strange said. Final- ly, after months of practice, the marching Gryphons made the preliminaries and placed sixth overall. Our goal was to be in the six top bands in the country, and we did it, Mr. Sykes said. Behind the success of the band was the assistance and cooperation of many. The Band Boosters, which consisted of parents and supporters of the band, as well as many area businesses, raised S55,ooo, the majority of the money needed. Hardees Donation Bucks, candy bars, and mugs were some ofthe main money-making pro- jects. With all the sacrifices of time and money that marching band requires why be a part of it? The trips and competitions are all a great part of band, but having pride in your- self is what it's all about, senior Roger Mor- ton said. Anna K.

Now that the pressure of marching band is over l'm ready to just relax and enjoy play- ing my trumpet, junior John Robert John- son said. Mr. Evans replaced Mr. Ronnie Wooten, who led the Concert Band in 1982. I plan Sightreading is a challenge but not impossible as the Concert Band proves, to cater to my students by including some contemporary music as well as the class- ical, Mr. Evans said. Another facet of the schools extensive music program was the Jazz Band. We obviously play jazz but also contemporary pop music as well, senior David Griffin said. The Jazz Band planned for a competi- tion in Wilmington, North Carolina. They also gave a winter, spring, and fall concert, which took place at Tarrytown Mall during National Education Week. Anna K.

A lot of peo- ple think art is drawing something that ev- erybody likes, but it's not. lt's expressing what you feel, sophomore Art I student Chris Sonnier said. Students in the intro- ductory course, Art l, worked with various types of medium and subject matter. The Art ll class was less structured. Stu- dents in Art ll are made to think. l can give them a small idea, and each one interprets it in a different way, art teacher Karen Thompson said. Anybody can draw if they want the talent bad enough. But, there is a lot of hard work involved, junior Tony Doles said. Art lll students worked more on a one to one, career oriented basis. This class was an individualistic program because stu- dents were allowed to expand on their own ideas. l'm glad l've reached the point where l can do my own thing without being restricted by a structured course, senior Paige Dunlap said.

Music appreciation classes are offered to those who just want to study different kinds of music such as modern and clas- sical, choral music director Larry Gupton said. The Chamber Choir was especially for those who enjoy singing, and performing at concerts.

While students toiled through their usual assignments, faculty members were burdened several hours a day with paper work and committee meetings re- quired for reaccreditation by the Southern association of Schools and Colleges. Homework is really a bother, junior Kimberley Peebles said. Many students agreed with Kimberley as they experienced the growing pressures of high school homework. Some students coped with their work loads by arriving at school early in the morning and working in the library or in their homerooms. Other popular spots for studying included the commons and lob- bies at lunch, the city library, and dens and bedrooms late at night. While some students labored over assignments, others did not worry about them. l don't do my homework because I don't think it's important enough to waste my time on, sophomore Bridget Battle said. English teacher Elizabeth Hardy, an alumnus of Rocky Mount Senior High, felt the nature of homework had changed since she went to high school.

To aid students in mastering, or at least becoming more familiar with other cultures and their native tongues, the foreign language department offered three languages. Mrs. Nancy Jones taught Latin. Mrs. Helen Nicholson and Mrs. Ann Williamson taught French. Mrs. Suzanne Sifford and Mrs. Jane Parvin taught Spanish. Mrs. Parvin replaced Mrs. Sue Hayworth, who retired in the spring. While listening to cassette tapes and mimicking the teacher assisted many students in speaking the language, The key, Mrs. Parvin said, lies in memorizing the vocabulary.

Students' favorite activities in the com- puter programming realm varied. While se- nior James Robinson enjoyed writing computer programs most, junior Lisa Severini simply wanted experience in oper- ating a computer before starting college. Students wrote programs for their Model l Radio Shack TRS-80 microcomputers. MWe're making programs right now that can be used in school-related fields, said senior Charlene Daniels, a member of the two-hour computer programming class. The Computer Programming ll class fre- quently hosted guest speakers. Mr. Charles Gowin, Peoples Bank representative, and Mr. William Byrd, a Hardees agent, spoke to the class on the increasing need for com- puter operators and programmers in their respective fields.

There was also a separation of chemistry classes into regular and accelerated.

They thought all was well as they sat in class staring blankly at the wall while the teacher lectured on lceland's for- eign policy. Then it happened. The teacher spoke one word. Suddenly 26 pairs of tor- mented eyes turned towards her. They were at her mercyg and upon realizing this, a sadistic smile spread across the teacher's face. As the dreaded week speedily approached, students, like zombies, roamed the halls with their bloodshot eyes carrying stacks of notebools from the past five months. Their tempers were as short as the days were long. Exams once again descended like fog on and tears Senior High. For teachers, exams meant many hours conjuring up the tests as well as grading them. lt's an extra workload on the teacher as well as the student, especially those last minute crammers, typing teacher Bessie Tyson said. For students, exams meant thousands of tourturous hours reviewing, studying and worrying about the tests. l don't dislike ex- amsg l hate them, junior Lisa Baker said.

The business department was hopelessly be- hind the times until the school system granted us twenty-five U1ousand dollars for modernization, business department head Jane White said. The renovation took a lot of planning which Mrs. White and the department advi- sory committee worked on last year and over the summer. The department re- placed twenty manual typewriters with elec- tric typewriters, bought electric calculators, and added three microcomputers to their assortment of office equipment. But, this was only the beginning. We will completely modernize over the next five years, Mrs. White said. Business courses covered a variety of subjects which prepared students for the job market. lt's a good course to take be- cause it will help in several different types of business, junior Charles Garrett said of his record keeping class. Office occupations students also saw a value in learning skills, techniques, and theories for numerous office operations. lt's fun and it will aid me in getting a sec- retarial or clerical job, junior office occupations student Fontella Garraway said.

I plan to continue the job they got me after graduation. The Industrial Cooperative Training pro- gram aided approximately 50 students in getting experience in the working world which many times led to jobs after gradua- tion.

Many of the shop classes, which included training in bricklaying, electronics, blue- print reading, drafting, auto mechanics, and woodworking, were independent courses in which students bought their own mate- rials.

Doyle Faculty Plans During the late summer while students brought their activities to a close, teachers were busy at school planning the upcom- ing year. With reaccreditation looming, teachers knew much work had to be done. Not only did reaccreditation cause pres- sure on teachers, but the new disciplinary code caused much anguish. The difficul- ties caused by enforcing the code made teachers somewhat skeptical of their role in enforcing the penalties prescribed by the code. With all the extra burdens placed on teachers, the task of preparing for class became much more difficult. The time consumed by reaccreditation caused me to have to shift my priorities and allowed less time for the planning of my classes. En- glish teacher Catherine Tedder said. I have also learned a great deal about the other departments and the work involved, Mrs. Tedder added. M. Bridget Harrell and Phil- lip B.

Joe's atti- tude was typical of many seniors. After twelve years of school, knowing that gradu- ation was near caused many members of the class of '83 to look back upon their years in school with fond memories. Emotions were mixed as the final days drew near. Many were regretful as they walked down the halls for the last time, returned their last overdue library book, and prepared to drive out of the parking lot for the last time. Anxiety as to what lay ahead was in the 168 - Seniors attentively while senior class president Charles Bullock goes over every senior's favorite subject - Kliiilaffbavilss senior privileges. ch future with mixed emotion minds of many, as senior Jennifer Odom said, lt's scary to think that this is our last year, and that next year some of us will be in college. Seniors proved they were number one! The senior class came out on top in any- thing they did. For the first time, the senior class raised the most money in the annual magazine sale. Seniors also came out ahead in Hi-Noc-Ar sales buying over 300 books. Senior privileges were an important part of being a senior. lt was really exciting to be able to park in the front rows of Uwe parking lot and to be able to leave the gym while juniors and sophomores had to stag said senior Mark Beard. Taking days and exemption from exams with a or above average were other privileges served for seniors. The class of '83 has made their mark Senior High. Through all of their plishments, they have proven ther to be mighty seniors, said senior class viser Karen Thompson. Mrs. Thc also added, The seniors are a great of kids, we'll all miss them. M.

An hour in detention hall had long been standard punishment for minor infractions of Senior High's many rules. To some it was punishment, but others saw a short stay there as valuable study time. Junior Tracey Sutton said, Having to stay after school is not much of a punish- ment for me because l'm able to get through with my homework and go out later that night. But Junior Melodie Bul- luck said, Detention hall is a boring trip for me and the threat of an hour there is enough to make me straighten up.

One of these players was senior Joe Walker, a noted athlete on the varsity football team. Joe was chosen to partici- pate in the Shrine Bowl, held as a benefit to raise money for crippled and disabled chil- dren. The Shrine Bowl, held annually, con- sists of the top players of North Carolina who play against the top players of South Carolina. I was surprised but very honored to be selected. It was an even greater honor to know I was playing for such a worthy cause, Joe said. Along with football,Joe also enjoyed run- ning, swimming, listening to music, and playing video games. Between his hobbies he considered possible college choices. Though he was undecided, such colleges as Wake Forest, LINC, and NCSLI were on his list. I plan to go on and play college football.

Stu- dents became quite aware of the pressures of the 'Outside World' as they took on the lives of welders, disc jockeys, and others and were faced with paying bills, bills, and more bills. The students were married, and some had children who had to have clothes, food, and all the other care that goes along with kids. Mrs. Elaine Rose taught the course. She assigned each student a job, marital status, and dependents. l really appreciate my parents now. l never realized how much they do, senior Shelley Johnson said. Mary M. Enderle After taking a pop test, senior Anthony Shanks stands by anxiously as economics teacher Elaine Rose grades his paper. Seniors - 183 Pets soothe Student pets who brought teachers ap- ples apparently were not alone. They stood in the same rank as dogs, felines, and horses. The typical out-of-school pet was the dog. Journalism adviser Henrietta Barbour, enjoyed the companionship of man's best friend. Her dog was an eleven year old beagle named Snoopy. Unfortunately Snoopy had epilepsy. Mrs. Barbour esti- mated she had spent at least 52,000.00 on treatment for his numerous ailments. A ten pound Persian cat named Bootsie was sociology and American history teach- er Erma Dudley's pet. According to Mrs. Dudley, Bootsie always wanted food in his bowl. He even enjoyed sitting on the scales. Having horses took more time than hav- ing a cat. United States history teacher De- bra Wilson had four horses, three dogs, and six cats. Mrs. Wilson said, With horses l have to get up early to do all the barn work. lt can get to be quite time consuming. Mrs. Wilson grew up in the country in and around horses. Whenever teachers broke with their nor- mal routine, pets were there to help get their minds off school work. Phillip B.

Being a big brother - 'A great experience' ln his spare time, between football and baseball seasons, senior Eddie Coats found that he enjoyed another activity - spending time with his new friend Jeffrey. Jeffrey was no ordinary friend, however. He was an exceptional six year old child. I met Jeffery for the first time last year when our baseball team went to visit his school, said Eddie. Since then Eddie has spent many afternoons with Jeffrey: taking him to the park and the museum, to play video games, and just being a big brother . 188 - Seniors Senior Suzanne Drake, who sometimes accompained Eddie and Jeffrey onrtheir outings, hoped to acquire a special friend of her own in the near future. Suzanne, who planned to major in special education in college said, I think the experience of being with these children can be beneficial to anyone. l really wish that l could spend more time with him than l do now, Eddie said. He added, He's a great kid.

There's nothing bet- ter man a cold windy day in January to really keep the ducks flying. The most thrilling part is sitting in a duck blind and watching a flight of ducks set their wings over my de- coys, junior Jeff Hardee said. Hunting for ducks was not the only form of the sport enjoyed by the boys and even a few girls. Ducks, deer, rabbits, quail, doves and even the lowly squirrel spent a good part of the winter making themselves scarce to the eagle eyed hunters from Se- nior High. Junior Byron Horne said, l have always been an outdoor enthusiast, and hunting gives me an outlet for this passion. Nature offers each of us something special.

Mi'fA'fSi'H end For the past ten years, Monday nights had meant a half hour of both comedy and drama in the form of a television sit-com - MASH. MASH, a legend in its own time, concluded its tenth and final season on February 21, 1983 in a two and a half hour movie. Episodes often dealt with very real issues such as prejudice, loneliness, mental ill- ness, the fidelity of soldiers, and, of course, the pain and torment ofwar. The manner in which MASH was written instilled a true feeling of what war is like but often made light of the situation. The last episode of MASH followed in the proverbial footsteps of its previous epi- sodes in that, underlying all the surface humor, there were very serious comments on the effect war has on its participants. The main characters: Hawkeye, Margaret, BJ., Charles, Colonel Potter, Klinger, and Father Mulcahy, were all depicted as being greatly affected by at least one incident of the war. Although a power failure in Nash County resulted in the deletion of the crucial point of the movie, the final episode of MASH would not soon be forgotten. Melanie A.

Griffin scores To me basketball is not just a hobby. One day l'm hoping to make it my profes- sion, sophomore Ernie Griffin said. To those who designated their time according to the varsity basketball team's schedule, Ernie's was quite a familiar face. He was selected as the only sophomore to participate on the varsity basketball team. l really haven't thought that much about being the only sophomore on the team. We're like one big happy family, Ernie said. Everyone helps each other, and Coach Hen is like my father. lt's a great experience for me, and l'm really honored that the Coach felt l could play for him as a sophomore. Ernie said that he didn't feel that much pressure from his teammates because they were so close. l can do pretty much the same thing the juniors and seniors on the team can do, Ernie said. b Virginia ller R Anita James I 19 Outside of basketball, Ernie enjoyed fishing, dancing, and just having a good time. Schoolwork, he said, came first and took up a lot of his spare time between practices and games. Concerning his future plans Ernie said, My major goal in life is to go to George- town. l've had NCSU and UNC in mind, too. lf l keep on improving through my high school and college years as a basketball player I want to go to the pros. Basketball coach Reggie Henderson also feels that Ernie has what it takes. lf he improves 10 percent each year he just might be able to be ranked with Buck Williams or Jeffrey Battle, Coach Hender- son said. l've worked hard to get where l am, but,l believe if you want something bad enough, and you're willing to work to get it, you can have just about anything you want, Ernie said.

Of the 4 years thet Mrs. Tweedy had been a stu- ent counselor, the last 13 had been de- voted to the students at Senior High. To all those persons she had encoun- red over the years, Mrs. Tweedy wanted to ave the formulas of her beauty treatment. This formula consists of lots of love, a lump of kindness, a large measure of good cheer, compassion, a gob of humor, a great deal of patience, faith, plenty of hope, cour- age, and plenty of smiles. lf one sprinkles each of these ingre- dients liberally over his heart each day, and speaks a kind work to his fellowman or does a good deed, this world would be a much happier world to live in, Mrs. Tweedy said. After her retirement she planned to de- vote more time to the community agencies that she was involved in, such as Nash- Edgecombe Economic Development Inc., Tri County Industries, YWCA, Red Cross, and the Rocky Mount Mental Health Asso- ciation. She also planned to work more with the youths at her church and to travel with her sister. Kelley E. Pomeroy 5 5233? Sv- f 'v-r , - Yk' 'fl-Ji ,',h t ...- - N.

With- out support through sponsor- ing functions and donating money, many clubs and orga- nizations would have been up the creek, not only without a paddle but without a boat. Fortunately, local mer- chants responded to the pa- triotic call to fortify school organizations. Hardee's sup- ported the band by allowing the band to sell band bucks . These bucks were used as one dollar bills at participating Har- dee's. Rival fast food chain', McDonalds also aided stu- dents, especially the oldest students. McDonalds gave blue and gold notebooks con- sisting of 50 sheets of paper to the senior class. Another local restaurant even tried to encourage victo- ry in athletic events. Mama Jeans restaurant sponsored a free meal to the winning team in the Northern versus Rocky Mount football game. Unfortu- nately, Northern Nash re- ceived the meals. As philosopher Kahil Gib- ran once said lt is in exchang- ing the gifts of the earth that you shall find abundance and be satisfied. lf this statement held true, then the investors in Rocky Mount students should have felt prosperity and a full heart.

Brown enior Paige Dunlap, junior Kathy Mosley and senior David Lee dress in Elizabethan costume during Arts wareness Week. The Legend Conhnued A new dimension y May of 1983, we found that a legend tarnishes easily without con- tinuous polishing. After we had played on the field or court or sat behind the desks, we saw more clearly. We realized that a school's standards do not rise with- out constant effort. And sometimes those efforts fail. But many times our efforts were suc- cessful. After over 150 hours of practice, the Marching Gryphons placed sixth, above 36 other national high school bands in the Marching Bands of America Contest in Johnson City, Tennessee. The Quiz Bowl team placed first in competition against four area teams to continue on to regional competition. And the art department earned 17 gold keys in the National Scho- lastic Art Awards. As before, the sports legend expanded. We added a soccer team which finished with a record of two wins, ten losses, and one tie. The girls' basketball team won the Big East Conference Championship for the third consecutive year. Seniors Mandy Thayer and Lezlie Lambeth advanced to regional competition after an outstanding doubles season. Senior Leon Cooley was named most outstanding wrestler out of 432 wrestlers in the sectional tournament. We reaffirmed our academic status by being reaccredited by the Southern Asso- ciation of Schools and Colleges. To pro- mote academic excellence, the school board honored those students who excelled academically with a banquet. Of course, our endeavors were not al- ways successful. Those of us who had in- vested emotions and time in our efforts realized that the failures and criticism mere- ly added a new dimension to the legend. We knew then that legends are hard to come by.

Nashville Gr 254 - Conclusion Bria n James finds that being a basketball trainer means giving the big guys a hand, K D yl Thelegend conunued A students viewpoint 6 6 Yeah, we're a legend all right. We've been forming our legend all along. From day one we have written the famous lines of our folklore. Yet we've come to real- ize that, although a legend may be strong and wise, our noble tradition has stemmed from the roots of many imperfections. Our scars are numerous. Some have faded, yet it is clear that we have not escaped the price of fame. , , - Paige Harrington C l -255 Index Abrams, Teresa 204 Adams, Jeff 196 Adams, Joan 204 Adams, Sheryl 204 Adams, Teresa 204 Adcox, Robert 169 Alford, Gilbert 204 Allen, Arlene 196 Allen, Freddie 128, 204 Allen, Susan 104, 116, 169 Almand's Drugs 243 Alston, Angela 204 Alston, James E. 196 Alston, James K. 110, 146 Alston, Mary 25, 169 Alston, Reginald 103, 116, 195, 196 Alston, Robert 204 Alston, Wanda 204 Armstrong, Steven 99, 204 Ames, Ralph 196 Anderson, Deborah 204 Anderson, Patrice 169 Anderson, Vivian 164 Andrews, Sherry 204 Angello, Susan 169 Applewhite, Gloria 169 Armstrong, Lisa 169 Armstrong, Sharon 8, 18, 99, 196, 198 Arnette, James 164 Arnold, Deborah 113, 169 Amold, Joseph 204 Arrington, James 84. 85, 204 Arrington, Arrington.
