Saks High School - Saks Echoes Yearbook (Anniston, AL)

Text from Pages 1 - 232 of the 1984 volume:

Seasons at Saks Winter moves into spring, summer blends into fall, and school begins for Saks High students. Fall football games, pep rallies, and fun. We begin in a new grade and we are full of hopes and dreams for the coming year. Full of dreams for the people and places. We cheer at our pep rallies, play for our team and fight for what we feel is Saks right. Fall moves toward winter and Saks students are ready to welcome in a new year, vacations, Christmas, and New Years is on the minds of many. The possibility of snow lingers in peoples We are full of hopes and dreams for ihe coming year. thoughts, for a day of snow is a day of uninhabited joy and awe. Our semester test come and go to everyones relief and we’re ready for some fun. But before the Juniors can have fun they for the first time had to take the Alabama Graduation Exam. Spring comes upon us with its flowers and sunshine and Saks students blossom to life with new activities such as track, golf, softball, and baseball. There is ex- citement in the air as the school year comes to a close. People move from place to place with a renewed spirit and fun. We look forward to A.E.A. and a short vacation of freedom. Summer ends our past school year but not our fun. We go places, see new and old friends, and play all day. We go to Panama City Beach in Florida and Six Flags in Atlanta. We spend our days and nights enjoying our new found freedom until August comes again and the school year is with us once more. 2 opening opening 3 Opening 5 P.C. Here We Come! Excitement, and anticipation is the mood at Saks as people get excited about the school year coming to a close. “P.C. here we come!”, is the thought going through the heads of many of our Saks students and even more so for seniors. In preparation new summer clothes, hats, bathing suits, and sunglasses for the trip are brought even before school is out. By February, they are ready to put away their coats and leave for Florida. Students sit in class day dreaming of the beach. The sand, water, the palm trees, and of course the sun attracts everyone. For the boys it's day dreaming about girl watching on the beach, and for the girls it’s looking at the boys. But it’s the sun, water, and a great tan that attracts everyone. FLORIDA THE JNSHWJE STATE They wait patiently for May for school to let out and for Saks students to hit, the beaches! They wait to be a part of the Action of Florida, for at least one week. Students stay with friends, soak up the sun, and swim in the ocean. They go to the Amusement parks where they play games, ride rides, and eat cotton candy. But one of the best things they do is eat seafood. The trip to Florida is a long one but a fun one. During the year when you are with your friends the anticipation of what you are going to do in Florida is half the fun. For the seniors the thought that this might be the last time they are together make for cherished memories. 6 opening opening 7 opening 9 COMFORT we have it From dressy to sweatsuits, jeans to jackets, Saks has it all. Fads come and go but jeans seem to be here to stay and they were ap- parent at Saks again. Thin belts and ties for both boys and girls worn with almost anything were also in style again this year. Peo- ple liked the sweatsuit look this year, cool and loose, it goes for everyone. Dresses with wide belts and low necklines and high hems adorned our halls in bright colors and contrasting belts. The baggy style was in for everything from pants to jackets giv- ing more freedom. Whether in jeans or dresses, Saks students have fun everywhere. Opening 13 Fun, Food, and Frolic Fun, food, and frolic is as much a pari of Saks High as motherhood and apple pie is to America. Most Friday mornings a local fast food restaurant is the meeting place for many students with sausage and biscuits on their mind. The kid comes out in the students when they are presented with a playground to enjoy. Sliding boards and the proverbial hamburger merry-go-round is more than they can resist. Later in the day lunch is served in the cafeteria and again students spend part of their day in fun, food, and frolic. Top right — “Boy, I love these lunchroom hamburgers!” Above — Eric smiles for his breakfast. 14 Opening 16 opening Opening 17 1983, Year in Review Havoc in Beirut Grenada Invasion KAL Flight 007 Blue Pond Tragedy “ A xt the start all one had was images of airports: the airport in Beirut where the bodies of Marines lay stacked in aluminum coffins like salesmen's sample cases, and the airport in Grenada where Marines and Army Hangers swooped down for a surprise inva- sion 4 (From “Days of Shock,” Time, November 7, 1983, by Roger Rosenblatt). Through the year, one after the other, three ma- jor shocks began to unfold the bar- barity of the world in which we live, overshadowing most of the other events of 1983. The first shock came as tidal waves of devastating news hit America and its people hard, very hard: KAL flight 007 downed by Soviet SU-15 fighter in the Sea of Japan after leaving Anchorage, Alaska. The civilian airliner had been cold-bloodedly blasted out of the skies by a missile-firing Soviet interceptor, with an all but certain loss of 269 lives. One of those lives lost was that of Congressman Lawrence McDonald. He was part of an official six-man congressional delegation representing the United States at a conference in Seoul to commemorate the 30th anniver- sary of the mutual defense treaty between South Korea and the U.S. How ironic that McDonald, “the leading anti-communist in the American government,” had been on a plane that was “forced into Soviet territory” and shot down. According to Secretary of State Shultz, “The Soviet pilot reported that he fired a missile and the target was destroyed.” The second shock involved the Marine peace-keeping force which the United States has maintained in Beirut, Ivebanon, since the fall of 1982. Here the Mid-Fast riddle is far from being solved. The Marine's stay in Beirut hasn't been a pleasant one. In the spring of 1983 the United States Embassy in that city was bombed. Our Marines successfully “held down the fort” throughout the summer, only to be devastated by several horrible at- tacks. The first attack, in August, by Druze and Shiite militiamen left two U.S. Marines dead and four- teen wounded. The U.S. and French troops didn't take the at- tacks lightly and immediately began to fire back. In September our troops still “held the line” along with the U.S. destroyer John Rodgers, the nuclear powered cruiser Virginia, and the battleship President Reagan New Jersey• In October, on a rather peaceful Sunday morning, havoc struck. Only the cooks were up and about in the reinforced con- crete Aviation Safety Building on the edge of the Beirut Interna- tional Airport, used as a head- quarters by the Eighth Marine Bat- talion of the U.S., part of the peace-keeping force. As 200 men lay sleeping in their cots, suddenly a truck laden with dynamite, on a frantical suicide mission, crashed into the building's lobby and ex- ploded with such force that the structure collapsed in seconds, yielding the death of over 200 Marines. Those who survived have only nightmares for their memories. President Reagan has since announced that the Marines will be out of I ebanon by July of 1984. A third major shock came only two days after the death of at least 229 Marines in Beirut when Presi- dent Reagan ordered a vast inva- sion of Grenada. In Grenada, a small tropical-island-resort island in the Caribbean, a 24-hour curfew had been ordered by a group that had taken over the government, promising that violators would be shot on sight. The first concern of the President was the 1000 Americans on the island. He sent the carrier Independence, on route to I ebanon with 1,900 A solemn moment. Marines, to Grenada as a “precau- tionary measure. At 5:36 a.m. on Tuesday, October 25, 1983, the strike Iwgan with a force that had grown to over 6,000 men. The 700 American medical students on the island tx'gan to be evacuated on Wednesday, October 26. Before the attack was over, several hun- dred Cubans had been taken prisoner and huge amounts of Soviet-made weapons and ammuni- tion had been captured by the American forces. As stated in Time magazine, “The final paradox is that the ones who put Grenada's controversial new airport to military use were not the Cubans, who built it, but the Americans themselves ' Those shocking memories of that horrible day in 1963, when, on the streets of Dallas, Texas, Presi- dent John F. Kennedy was assasinated reminded us that an era has ended and a new has begun. There were several memorials in- cluding a television movie, Ken- nedy, about his life, in association with the twentieth anniversary of Kennedy's death. There will lie a shock to our pocketbooks since the largest monopoly on the face of the earth has broken up. In the place of old Ma Bell stands the “new At T and seven regional telephone holding companies. This breakup will affect all Americans with higher bills and some say, “We are trading in a Cadillac for a Ford. In 1983, the shocking saga of The Day After hit nearly every tube in America. The television movie, about the way a small mid- western town in the United States dealt with a nuclear holocaust, left an aftermath of controversy as Tornado destroys Winn-Dixie grocery store Jesse Jackson strong as nuclear war itself. Political shocks came as Jesse Jackson began a campaign for President. A boost in his campaign came from the unexpected success of his trip to Syria to seek the release of Navy flyer Lieut. Robert Goodman, who had been held cap- tive by Syria for a month. And then again as Calhoun County's Gerald W illis began a campaign for President, but later decided to seek the vice-presidency instead. Not only did we see the suddenly shocking death of hundreds of soldiers this year, but we also lost Jessica Savich and Frank Rey nolds, both network news anchors. Closer to home, Gerald Johnson, the postmaster at the Anniston post of- fice, lost his life in a shooting in- volving a labor dispute. And no one will ever forget the horrible night at Blue Pond when a tornado rip- ped that community apart while taking the lives of two innocent people in its path. Orwell fans were shocked that a year they have all been an- ticipating is here, and they wonder if “Big Brother is watching you. For a year that began in record high temperatures and ended in record lows, 1983 has surely been a trying and action-filled year that none will forget. Ross B.

The Calhoun County Vocational Center provides this training for any high school student, tenth grade or above. Through many different phases of this program, the faculty and administration hope to help a student become more adapted to his chosen trade. Admission is available to any high school student who has a sincere desire to excel in a skillful trade that will enable him to earn a living in the future. For many students trade school provides a change of atmosphere to the usual desk, paper, pencil, and homework. Seeing a product one makes with his own hands can be a rewarding experience. Trade school provides a student with the skill and know ledge that w ill prepare him for his future. Shop 23 24 Homecoming Court 8th grade rep Kelly Pettu . 9th grade rep.

Tuesday, we took a day off for school pictures. Wednesday, we went back to the Fifties for Fifties Day. Thursday was Beat Bearcats Day. Also on Thursday, Saks High held the first bonfire in a long time. Banked on a hill were gigantic pieces of card- board. Students circled around the fire as the cheerleaders led the cheers. Then the bonfire was lit, and shouts and screams were heard everywhere. Then, Mrs. Connell told a story about Rufus and the Bearcat that brought everyone's spirits higher than they were before. Friday was the finale when we had Catch that W ildcat Spirit Day. Friday, the pep rally was spirit-filled with the Seniors taking the Spirit Stick. The homecoming parade was great, featuring decorated cars, the homecoming queen and the representatives. The game was super and made homecoming perfect when the W ildcats defeated Weaver by a score of ten to seven. At halftime the band presented its show and the homecoming court was announced. The traditional homecoming dance followed. The victorious game and dance were grand finales all in all, homecoming was a huge success! 30 Homecoming SI Miss Saks Football The 1983 Min Saks Football Pageant was, again, an enormous success. Girls from first to twelfth grade participated. The gym was filled with anxious parents, teachers, fellow students, and visitors. There were two high school divisions in the pageant. Junior High and Senior High. In the Junior division, Kelly Pettus received first runner-up and Bonnie Mag ruder was crowned the winner. Bonnie still can't believe that she won. ‘‘This is the first time I've been in a pageant and I didn't expect to win anything, said Bonnie. (Wakefields sponsored Bonnie. She received flowers and a trophy.) In the Senior division, Amy Pope (a senior) was awarded first runner-up and Carol Bowden received the title as winner. When asked how she felt, Carol replied, “I was very surprised. I couldn't believe it; hut, I was so happy. (Bob's Service Center was Carol's sponsor. She received flowers and a trophy). Preparations for the pageant were made weeks ahead for the big” night. The girls signed up and they began the search for a sponsor. The shopping began for that perfect” outfit that would catch the eyes of the judges. Finally the big night had arrived, the girls had spent hours getting ready. For some it was their first beauty; for others, it was another pageant to the list. The Master of Ceremonies for the event was Dennie Deason of Q104. Judges were Angella Landicat, Shelton Brown, and Terri Edwards. The judges had a very difficult decision to make. However, after second looks and a rather long intermission their decisions were announced. The spotlights illuminated the girls as they made their way to the stage where Renee Ballenger and Lisa Henderson were waiting to crown their successors. The third annual Miss Saks Football Pageant was a truly special night the winners would always remember. 32 Above — Junior High Mis Saks Football Bonnie Mag ruder.

The pageant was held on a Saturday night which proved to be a very exciting event. Miss Saks High School is a coveted title. The fun and anticipation of this exciting night fills this pageant with beautiful girls. To earn this title is an accomplishment never to be forgotten. Saturday night around 6 o’clock the girls filed into the dressing room. Like magic the girls transformed from old faded jeans and hair rollers to a kaleidoscope of beautiful dresses that sparkled and shimmered against the beautiful star filled background. They all lined up after applying the last minute touches and began the parade of beauty. This year’s winner is Gena Swords, Sophomore at Saks. All of the students at Saks are pleased with this year's decision. The other winners include, first alternate, Amy Pope, second alternate, Renae Piper, third alternate, Leigh Anne Pody and Miss Congeniality was Natalie Brittain. All of these girls were seniors.

Sr. High Pageant 43 Miss Saks Jr. High — Dawn White 44 Jr. High Pageant Friday night in the big night for the Jr. High participants in the beauty pageant. The Princess, who will hold the title for a year, will be selected. Around 6 o'clock the steady stream of blue jean clad girls entered the dressing room giggling and nervous. At 7 o'clock the parade of beauty began. Each donned lovely long gowns and each truly looked like a princess. The selection process was slow for the judges had a most difficult time choosing among all the beautiful girls. However, the task must be accomplished. The Jr. High Princess for 1984 was Miss Dawn White. The alternates were Christy Noell, first alternate, Shae Cooper second alternate, and Carrie Maxwell third alter- nate. Melissa Langdon was selected by the girls in the pageant as Miss Congeniality. Jr. High Court — Princess Dawn White; 1st Alternate Christy Noell; 2nd Alternate — Shea Cooper; 3rd Alternate — Carrie Maxwell, Mrs. Congeniality — Mellia Langdon.

CW «1 Band Strives for Sensational Sound The Saks High School Marching Band is a hard working group. They start their season earlier than most bands. They start in Ju- ly preparing for the first game to make sure that the opening game show is a succe� . They worked hard on marching and drill and also very hard music. Some of this music was “T.O.”, “Spanish Dreams, and “Pieces of Dreams.” The band is under the leadership of band director Mr. Glen Spurlin. The band entered three band festivals during the fall season and came home with trophies from every event. The first festival attended was the Superbowl of Sound Mar- ching Band Festival in Carrollton, Ga., superior ratings were earned by the majorettes, color guard, and band. The Saks color guard placed third in the overall in class A. The band next traveled to Prattville where they earned two superior ratings at the Heart of Dixie Festival. These two ratings were awarded to the color guard and the majorettes. Then the final contest that the Saks Band went to was the Mid-Alabama Marching Festival in Midfield. The band and color guard earned excellent ratings and the majorettes won superior ratings. These three contests proved to the students that the long, hard, summer practices were worth it. It all paid off in the end for the Saks Band. The band ended the year with a great record — one that any band or school could be proud of. What's next? 62 Shawn learns a new song.

This Club is for students in grades 8-1 2 who are in- terested in math or a field in which math is a necessity. The math club participates each year in the County Math Tournament held each year in Jacksonville. One of this club's biggest projects during the year is the annual talent show. This is a program in which the students have a chance to show their own personal talent. Many students participate each year in this activity and winners are chosen. This has enabled our students at Saks to display their various talents. The competition is great at Saks. We have first, second, and third place awards. This year the judges had an especially difficult decision but the winners were, third place, Keith Griffin. Keith played a drum solo. Third place also went to Edward Pyles, Scott Russell, and Andre Moaten, who performed a dance routine. Second place went to Samamtha Hinds, who sang a song entitled “We Shall Behold Him. First place went to Gary Evans and Melinda Cooper. Melinda and Gary wrote and sang the Senior Class song this year. This song was entitled “The Class of 84.

Math Teams After many hours of practice, the Saks High School math teams felt they were ready to compete. The teams attended the Calhoun County Math Tour- nament on April 26, at Jacksonville State University. M iss Haynes sponsored the trig, and geometry teams; Mrs. Echols sponsored the Algebra II team; Mr. Echols sponsored the Algebra I team; and Mr. Rains sponsored the 8th grade math team. The tournament started out with each taking a written test to determine individual scores. A short break preceded the completion of the written test and was immediately followed by ciphering, which is a students ability to answer problems quickly and correctly. The participants took time to eat lunch and anxiously awaited the awards ceremony. As the hour drew near, many participants became nervous in anticipation of an award. The eighth grade math team came in first place with Derek Gregg receiving first place, Scott Brown taking sec- ond place, and Cory Capers placing third. The Algebra I team placed third in competition and Da- mion Topping also received third. Our Algebra II team took second place with Tony Vandiver also receiving second. The geometry team also placed second. The trig team came in third with Carolyn Ghee who placed first. Overall, the Saks High School math teams came home with thirteen awards which was more than any other team participating. 8th Grade Team — Top — Scott Brown, Cory Capers, Clayton Cory; Bottom — Derek Gregg, Katrina Allen, Brian Begley. 70 Math Teams Scholastic Excellence Algebra I Tram — Wendy Facklam.

Scholar’s Bowl Team The Scholar's Bowl Team can be a rewarding and educational experience for anyone. It consists of six hard working people who are familiar with current events and who know’ a great deal of trivia. This year the team began practicing before Christmas. Later the team played practice rounds with Heflin before going to Gadsden for area com- petition. Although the team didn't go to state, rounds were won against Litchfield, Anniston, and Southside. Next year there will be three veteran players re- turning and hopefully several new players for a win- ning year. Front row Norman Campbell, Ro « Vaughn, Kay Brown, coach.

In the one for Christmas, a poem, Santa Claus gave gag gifts to students dressed as teachers. They performed Our Town by Thorton Wilder for their spring play. They presented a Saturday night showing and a Sunday Matinee which proved to be quite a success. The play was superbly directed by its sponsors Kathi Eaton and Sue Govatos, and Brian Rothwell, a former student who now acts. From the play, Paige Lindsey earned a scholarship for drama to Jacksonville State University. All the Performers Did an Excellent Job and the Play Was Well Done.

Drama Gub 7 3 Effort Yields Success Copy, rough drafts, and final layouts play an important roll in the duties of the annual staff. When one walks into the an- nual room, he is surrounded by an entirely different environ ment. The radio plays and the typewriters hum, while students scurry around the room looking for pictures to com- plete their layouts. A variety of subjects are discussed such as “baseball,” or how to keep plants from dying,” and we even discuss the annual. Mrs. Pody keeps our tone to a mild roar and helps us plan the annual. The annual staff is truly a “unique” bunch. Planning layouts is not all fun and games, but seeing the results of the final book makes it all worthwhile. Top Right — Tracir Klrming.

The Alabama Vocational Clubs of America is the only national organization whose purpose is to serve the industrial youth. The organization is composed of enrolled students in trade, industrial or technical education courses. The club activities aid in stimulating proper attitudes and a developing of character because the promotion of these behavior patterns are vital to becoming a citizen who is an asset to his home, school, community, state, and nation. Membership is open to all full-time students enrolled in a bonafide trade. All local members are eligible for membership in the state association and national organization. 80 VICA Alan greets customers s c A The Student Council's main objective is to form a better relationship between the students and teachers at Saks High. They sponsor the Who's Who dance and publish the Student Handbook. The group has two activities during Valentine Week, which are favorites of school. One is the sale of carna- tions, which are sold all week and are delivered during homeroom on Valentine's Day. The other is the secret pals. The teachers enjoy receiving little surprises in their boxes each day. At the end of the week a reception is held where the secret pal is revealed. This year the SCA sponsored something dif- ferent. Freedom Jam put on a concert for the students during school on Monday of Homecoming week and another the follow- ing night. Their performances were enjoyed by everyone. Ms. Haynes and Ms. Keech are the sponsors. Front — E. Craven, Pres.. A. Cantrell. V. Pres.. C. Connell. Sect., L. Harris. Treas. 2nd rote — J. U . Bramlett. K. Whitley, T. Kemp, S. Hinds. S.

An important function of the club is to help Big Oak Boy’s Ranch in Pell City. Food, clothing and a check for one hundred dollars were donated by the Key Club to the Boy’s Ranch. The Key Club attended a divisional rally at the Boy’s Ranch in the fall. They're planning to attend the district convention May 4-6 in Mobile and the International Convention in July at Forth Worth, Texas. The Key Club is proud of the innovative projects they have accomplished this year. These include the first publication of the sweetheart calendar, a blood drive on April 13, and a school mar- quee will be built in front of the school containing information about school fucntions for the week. Most of the money for the marquee was provided by the Class of '83, but the Key Club add- ed some money and conducted the organization for this project. They also raised money in a volleyball game against the faculty and helped the Kiwanis Club sell apples. President Barry Allen says of the club, “I think our club has worked real hard this year and I appreciate the time and effort our club has put forth to make this a successful year.” Key Club is sponsored by Susan Deerman.

Creative and Performing Arts .Night at Saks was deemed a great suc- cess although the attendance was not up to what was expected. The students in all different areas of the artistic world displayed their talents. The home economics students gave a fashion show of garments made in class. The choir gave an en- joyable performance that was reminiscent of the 1960's. The art department, shop and Holly Farms students displayed their work for the audience to enjoy. The art work was framed by Ran-Lou Framing, Inc. which helped to enhance the beautiful work done by our very talented students. Cabinet work and quilt stands from shop brought favorable comments from on- lookers. Gorgeous plants from Holly Farms graced the tables and were sold later. The drama club put on two short scenes from their spring play. Our Town. The creative writing class set up a display about how they wrote this year's children's books. To bring to a close the first Creating and Performing Arts Night at Saks, the Jan Band gave an im- pressive performance that everyone enjoyed. 86 Page 86: Top left — Jeanie Proudly hold up one of her bent painting .

Above — “Why Me?” I eft — Coach Mayes and Company. Though the 1984 Saks golf team had a 5-0 record it just wasn't a season to remember. After being sectional cham- pions last year they fell to third this year. Coach Mayes said that he was disap- pointed for the team because Saks had the people to win sectionals but the team just had a bad day. On the bright side of things Saks did send two golfers to state. Saks sent the duo of Norman Campbell and Randy Reaves. These two guys did a super job at state and both of them finished in the top fifteen out of a hun- dred and twenty players. Coach Mayes stated This is a super bunch of guys and I have had a pleasure working with them. I feel the people returning will make a great team for next year. The 1984 golf team would like to say, Coach Mayes, you've been an inspiration and a great deal of help. Not many people would have taken a team and done what you have done for us. We'll miss you. But most of all we want to say, We Love You. 94 Golf Reaves Narrowly Misses Title. Randy Reaves was excited! The Saks High School sophomore had just taken Chip Howell, the Anniston Country Club and Shoal Creek champion into sudden death at the fourth annual Miller High Life Invitational at Indian Oaks Country Club. It was the first men’s tournament Reaves had been eligi- ble for. He forced the tie with a birdie on eighteen, nar- rowly missing an eagle when his fifty foot putt slid an inch to the left of the hole. It was enough to make any 16 year old very proud. On the first extra hole, Reaves' second shot couldn’t hold the green and bounced down a small imbank- ment past the flag to bogey the hole and settle for second in the tournament. Still it was a fine effort by Reaves and he showed a lot of poise. He’s going to do real well. Rrivm’ putting; kept him close. Golf 95 1st rote — Patricia Jone .

Qualifications for making cheerleader are high. Those who wish to be a cheerleader must maintain a “C” average, and they are judged on appearance, spirit, cheers, jumps, and gymnastics. The girls began practice after spring try-outs in preparation for the clinic. During the summer, the girls attended U.C.A. at Jax State where they won many awards. The sponsor for the cheerleaders has many responsibilities. M iss Haynes has taken on this job of sponsor and she does many things. She supervises practice, the selection of the cheerleaders, and the activities of the cheerleaders at the games. These ten girls truly add a special touch to the spirit at Saks High. Pep and Personality Above Head cheerleader. Shannon Jones 96 Jr. High Cheerleader� Jr. High Che rlr«d«T 97 This year was an anniversary for Mrs. Pitts and Rowdy Rufus as they both made it through their second year as cheerleader sponsor and mascot. Ten girls were selected by the student body to represent S.li.S. as varsity cheerleaders. These ten girls began practice the last week in July. The squad then attended a four- day clinic in Carrolton, Georgia where they received 1st runner up honors. Leigh Ann Pody was awarded the l.C.F. Instructors award while Garla Smith and Robbie Davis were “spirit award winners. Cheerleaders must maintain an overall “c” average in all academic subjects. They must be regular in attendance and they must have pride to tryout. They participate in a two week train- ing period in which they learn cheers, chants, jumps, and gymnastics. Mrs. Pitts main duty as sponsor is to oversee all activities: such as fund raising, cheers, practice, and games. Kelly Vt hitley and Alecia Cantrell portrayed Rowdy Rufus this season. When asked how she feels about how Rufus adds to school spirit, Mrs. Pitts replied, “Rufus adds to school spirit because he represents all the qualities found in a great high school. He is witty, fun-loving, and charming: yet, he is disciplined, patriotic, and loyal to his school.” It's true to say that these ten girls, Rufus, and Mrs. Pitts add a special touch to the S.H.S. spirit, pride, and to the outcome of the game.

Then, Jacksonville intercepted a pass and scored on the last play to close out the game, a 23-13 winner. Saks 6 Pell City 3 The old story which goes, “A win is a win, held true as Saks, despite the fact of making only one first down and being considerably outgained in total yards, enjoyed the moment that meant the most. As the W ildcats were trailing, 3-0, Carlos Sanderson hooked up with Randy Cobb on a 76-yard pass to earn the Wildcats' lone score and a 6-3 lead. The Wildcats, again try- ing to run out the clock, fumbled, but Pell City could get nowhere on the Wildcat defense and dropped a close 6-3 game to the W ildcats. Saks 10 Weaver 7 The Saks Wildcats, with a great offensive show in the fourth quarter, held off a fiesty Weaver team. 10-7. The Homecoming game for Saks looked like a Weaver win for three quarters.

W ellborn 34 Saks 0 This game proved to be the worst defeat of the year for the Wildcats. Wellborn, running and passing out of the Notre Dame box offense, added a defense that held Saks to under 100 yards, as Wellborn defeated Saks 34-0. Anniston 14 Saks 13 The Anniston Bulldogs marched into Wildcat country and barely edged Saks, 14-13. Anniston took a 7-0 lead at the 3:39 mark of the first quarter. Saks answered Anniston's touchdown with a one-yard run by Rob Jones. Randy Cobb added the extra point, and the game was tied 7-7. Anniston's winning touchdown was a 45-yard interception return.

All of the girls showed great enthusiasm and dedication throughout the year. Eager to learn, every girl played at some point in the season. By tournament time the team had kept a consistent six (those whose skills had improved more rapidly). Though the season was not a winning one statistically, every girl became a walking ex- ample of a true winner, always displaying great team work and good sportsmanship. Seniors — front — R.

Both teams played good defense with the only score coming in the second quarter on a short-run off tackle. The Saks offense moved the hall well, but could not score. The entire defense played well, led by Chic Nix, Jay Deese, Alton Butler, and Chris Carden. Saks 26 Heflin 0 The second game of the season was dominated by Saks' ground- oriented offense led by Wayne Cooper, Clay Boyd, Danny Cole, and Sean Johnson. Excellent blocking by the offensive line allowed Cole to score three touchdowns, and Cooper passed to Kenneth Cain for the last touchdown. The offensive line in- cludo Sean Johnson, Chic Nix, Jon Buzan, Jeff Reaves, Damion Topping, Chris Chastain, and Robert Bowen. Saks 6 W ellborn 6 The game against Wellborn was a defensive struggle with very- hard hitting. The game was scoreless at halftime, and it was late in the game before Wellborn scored, but missed the extra point, and this set the stage for a dramatic comeback. Saks took the kick-off and drove sixty yards for the tie. Saks missed their extra point leaving the game tied. Anniston 16 Saks 0 In the fourth game of the year, Anniston scored two quick touchdowns in the first quarter, and won the game 16-0. Saks' offense was thwarted by fumbles, interceptions, and penalties on key third-down situations, and as a result could not score. Alexandria 8 Saks 0 The Alexandria game was a very disappointing loss. Again fumbles, interceptions, and penalties plagued the Saks offense. The offense moved the ball well, but made mistakes near the goal line. The defense, as usual, played well. Clay Boyd, in a last ditch effort to win the game ran a punt back for an apparent touchdown, but it was nullified by a clipping penalty. Saks 10 Jacksonville 0 Saks closed out the year with a 10-0 win over J ville. The defense, which carried the team all year, once again played great. Danny Cole broke a 42-yard run for the only touchdown of the night, and W ayne Cooper passed to Kenneth Cain for the extra points. The defensive performance was led by Tony Ward, Jay Deese, Chic Nix, Tim Norris, Ben Davidson, Clay Boyd, Chris Chastain and Sean Johnson, and was highlighted when Da- mion Topping sacked the J'ville quarterback for a safety. Summary Coach Smith was very proud of the effort this year, but felt that Saks should have won all their games with the possible exception of the Anniston game. The team was plagued with turnovers and penalties at crucial times during the season. Coach Smith believes this group of ninth graders will win a state playoff birth before they graduate from Saks. top — W ildcats at practice before the big game. above — Coach Smith discusses the play with W ayne. 108 Junior Hi|ch Football above — In the game against Oxford, Wildcats play good defense. front row — A.

Junior High Football 109 THEY ARE SOMETHING SPECIAL “STRING-MUSIC From the likes of “string-music to playing “stuff-areno, the Saks' basketball season was a definite success. The Wildcats opened up their season with a 66-64 overtime win at Wellborn. Curtis Brown's half-court shot at the buzzer set up the Saks' win. A sudden series of losses and an 11-point win over Weaver left the Wildcats at 2-5. The Wildcats made a sudden turnaround and became runners-up to the powerful Lagrange in Haralson Coun- ty Christmas Classic. Those tournaments marked the excitement that the Wildcats displayed throughout the rest of the year. Three impressive wins over Heflin, Piedmont and W hite Plains gave the W ildcats an uplifting boost for the County Tournament where the Wildcats bombed White Plains 95-73 and lost to Alex- andria 67-55 in the quarterfinals. The next game was a rather “flat win over Jacksonville, 38-36, in a slowdown game and another loss at the hands of Alexandria. The Wildcats lost a big lead against Oxford and trailed by three points with less than thirty seconds and outscored Oxford 6-0 with Kerry Stumpe s four free throws in the final four seconds defeating Oxford 51-48. The Wildcats continued their winning ways with wins over Pleasant Valley. Wellborn and Weaver. Piedmont became victim 16 and the 62-41 win tied a record for the most in a season. The Wildcats dumped W hite Plains 88-57 and set a new record for most wins in a season at 17-8. At Area Tournament time, the Wildcats continued their winning ways, denying number-one seeded Wellborn 48-47. The Wildcat win was “Taylor-made after Jeff Taylor’s rebound at the buzzer. Jacksonville fell easily to the W ildcats 52-39, and the W ildcats surged to the finals. The Wildcats faced Alexandria in the Area Finals. The Wildcats surged out to a 12-2 lead in the first quarter and found themselves down by as much as 1 3 in the third quarter. Curtis Brown led the Wildcats on the comeback and with 2:24 remain- ing, Brown's 16-foot jump shot put Saks ahead 55-54. The Cubs led 57-55 with ten seconds left. Saks made two attempts for the tie in the last three seconds but both shots were unsuccessful. Front — J. Taylor. D. Jones. T. Lucy. R. Burns. Back — M. Jackson, K. Stumpe, J. Best, C. Brown, D.

Basketball 111 Fighting for Respect! i Although the B-team season was not as successful as everyone had expected, they opened the season two point losers to Wellborn which was followed by a rout against Heflin. The W ildcats' season was sparked by an impressive and dramatic win over Oxford. The W ildcats record was now at 3-2 and things were definitely looking up. The B-team won four of their next five games. W ith their record now at 7-3 the W ildcats lost some of their early season momentum and only won three of their next eight games. Their final record for the season was 10- 8. Though the season was not a roaring success, each game the B-team played was exciting and was played with en- thusiasm. The Coach of the B-team, Coach Ed Henderson, said, “It was an ex- perience and I thoroughly enjoyed work- ing with these boys. They are a super bunch of guys.” Coach Ed Henderson Mike Carlisle lays it in for two. 112 Varsity B-Team FRONT ROW L. Cowden, L. Cottingham, A. Shaw, G. Lovelady Back Row — R. Greenwood. C. William .

The season opened with an exciting 41-40 win over Pleasant Valley with a shot at the buzzer. The team would win only two more games the rest of the year. Coach Smith stated, “They didn't have many basketball skills but played well at times and tried their very best. ’ Left to Right - S. Jackson, J. Dw f. B. Bonds, G. Wigging ton, Coach Smith, D.

But, when the game was over the coach and the fans knew that they had a competitive basketball team, and competitive they were! The eighth grade finished with a perfect 13-0 record. They only trailed in one game the whole season and won the support of everyone at Saks. Coach Jacobs said, “This was the best team I have ever coached. They are very coachable and enjoyable kids. Along with being fine basketball players they are also fine students. If they keep the attitude they have now they will make a fine basketball team for this school in the future. I have greatly enjoyed working with these guys. Front Row B William , J. Taylor. P. Love, J. Powell, K Daugherty. Back — S. Jacob , S. Sanderson, S. Brown, B. Weiaer, T. Agee, C. Caper� , S.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME Though the Saks baseball team did not make the state playoffs or win the County championship for the third year in a row, their season was still very exciting. The season ended with a 19-6 record and Saks winning the Area 1 1 sub-area championships. The only loss in the Sub-area was to Oxford who finished in se- cond place. Throughout the entire season the Wildcats have had one of the best pitching rotations in the county. In addition a balanced hitting attack helped the Wildcats to another successful season. The Wildcats are losing ten seniors who displayed ex- cellent baseball talents during their three years at Saks. The graduating seniors posted a 51-11 record and two County cham- pionships during their play at Saks. Four Wildcats made the All- County tournament team. They are Randy Cobb (IB), Donnie Bowman(P), Carlos Sanderson (P), and Greg Lovelady(SS). Seniors — Front — J. Chandler, G. Burnett, K. Pinkard, D. Jones, J. Jones. Back — C. Wright, R. Cobb, D.

Darryl plays the bass guitar in a band of eight members. They are extremely interested in gospel music and have just recorded a new 45rpm featuring their own style of gospel music. They are in the process of cutting an album to be released this summer. Darryl has been playing his bass guitar since he was seven years old and hopes to continue to play with his band. He and his fellow band members play for different churches in the area. They began about four years ago when the band was formed. Darryl hopes to become a popular musician and plans to con- tinue his music career in gospel music. We wish him luck.

Seniore 151 If one doesn't find Kelly An- drews at home, more than like- ly, he could head on over to the Rainbow Skating Kink (now Skate Country), and find her covering the floor on her skates. Kelly has been skating for thirteen years, or since she was five. At the age of seven she was on the “Rainbow Speed Team. In 1977, when speed skating had faded out, along came Disco skating. Kelly, along with everyone, started trying out all the new moves. Since everyone was getting into it, and many were good, the local rink began Kelly is Disco Queen sponsoring contests. Then the winners set their goals from local competition to the Na- tionals! Couple skating became popular and Kelly soon found a couple partner in Butch Brown. “There's not a move that can be done that we won't try at least once, maybe twice! says Kelly. Kelly and Butch have won four local competitions, two counties and one state. “We haven't won a National Competition, but give us time and a little hope, and we'll skate our way to the top, says Kelly.

This is a contagious disease that hits one or two seniors about mid-term and runs rampant through this age group until we find an epidemic b the last six weeks. Few are spared this dread disease. The symp- toms are: apathy to the point one is barely able to lift a pencil, and complete loss of memory in the section of the brain which controls learn- ing. Temporary insanity hits the last two weeks and the only known cure is graduation? Far left Carlo give Keith a ride.

She takes creative writing courses at Saks High School, keeps a journal, and writes stories in her free time. Last year Debbie wrote her first children’s book. Andorea's Quest, which she wrote and illustrated. She read it to the elementary students at Saks. She doesn’t plan to make a career out of children’s stories, but she enjoys working on them. She hopes to become a well known author, and put out good quality writing in her novels.

This year Chris participated in the Hot Shot Basketball competition in Calhoun County. This event Chris came home with the win- ning title. This made him eligible to go to the national com- petition in Atlanta. Chris says that he met boys from all over the U.S. “They all looked good, said Chris. He could tell that every boy there was striving for “Hot Shot Champion. Chris was very nervous at the sight of all of these people. But he knew that all he could do was his best. The object of this competition was to see who could score the most points shooting a basketball shot in, which is called rounds. To do this each participant stood at a certain spot and shot; then they rotated. After rotating, the participant moved to another spot to shoot. Whoever got the most points was the winner. Chris shot with such great intensity that he came home with the fourth place title. He was up against some tough competition, but he came out on top. Congratulations, Chris, on your achievement.

Chris Carden collects baseball cards. Not unusual but it would be if you had 6,1 00 of them. Chris has been collecting for about 6 years. He buys them and collects old cards from friends and relatives. He likes to take care of his cards and puts them in a precise order. His entire collection of cards is worth on the present day market approximately 700 dollars. He has cards ranging from about the late 60's to now. He has cards that are worth up to six or seven dollars each. He continues to collect cards, maybe ac- cumulating one of the largest and most valuable collections. People Above — Nifty Fifties.

Golden Glove Boxing. David Kelley, a sophomore, was like many young boys; he played football and looked for ward to playing in high school. He decided if he was to excel in one sport it should be boxing. “I didn't know about playing football in high school with all those big hoys, there's no weight limit there,” David recalls. Shortly after, David developed an interest in Golden Glove Boxing, he started training — running four miles a day, executing 1,200 repetitions of exercise and working on heavy speed bags. David has won many tournaments, including placing second in the Golden Glove, receiving a silver award in the Junior Olympics, and finishing as runner-up state champion twice. Maybe David relates to his father's interest in boxing, but whatever the reason. David has a lot of heart in spirit to get in the ring time after time, and we at Saks are proud of him.

Kandi Carden, a freshman at S.H.S., has learned many crafts from her grandmother and she has proof to show it. From candlewicking to quilting. Kandi can do it all. fcfcI love to work with my hands, I especially enjoy candlewicking. Kandi also en- joys making latch-hook rugs, embroidery work, and sewing. I am working on my first afghan now,” Kandi said. As Kandi has shown, older family and friends do have wonder- ful traits to pass on. 193 Damion Topping Kirk Townsend Diane Trawick Pam Turner Rebecca Wallace Tony Ward Susan Watson Butch Webb Byron What Robbie White David Whitehead Gary Wigington Shane Williamon Barabara Williams Kenneth Wills Lisa Woodard Jeff Worrell Tracy Worthy Jeff Writer Ramiro Zamarrippa Katie Zielinski 194 Above — Look, surprise!

Barbara also studies the size, shape, and characteristics of the earth's moon. Barbara has a Tasco telescope with the magnifying capability of 15-30 45 — and 60. Its power magnitude ranges from 7-8. She might go to NASA and pursue a career in space explora- tion in relation to the stars and planets. Maybe she will even he the first woman on the moon. Whatever she does, you can guess that it wtll he something in the field of science and astronomy. People 197 “Hey Brooke” Bonnie Magruder is more than just another pretty girl at Saks. She is a girl with a lot of ambition. At the present time she is modeling, and people say she looks like Brooke Shields. Walking down the halls at school Bonnie encounters many of her friends who greet her with, fcfcHey Brooke! Modeling is something that Bonnie enjoys very much. She has been in fashion shows, and she models for Martin s Junior Edition. Most girls would give anything to be able to do what she does, and would want to make a career out of it, but Bon- nie doesn't. She says she doesn't want to be a model forever. She would rather do something in the medical field, “I want to be able to be a doctor or a surgeon. When I get older, she says, want to make a lot out of my life, and I want to help people. I think I can help people better in the medical profession.

She has a two-year old AQHA registered filly that she's training herself. She’s already shown her in two Western Pleasure events and won a fourth place. She also has a half-morgan gelding that she’s be .i showing for three years. They’ve won many trophies together. Besides showing, Lindsay loves to just take leisurely gallops around the pasture and go on all-day trail rides with her friends. She also likes to try new aspects of her hobby, such as jumping and dressage. Lindsay hasn't really decided what she wants to do with her life — maybe be an equine vet or the owner and manager of a large thoroughbred quarter horse farm. “But I do know one thing, she says, “Whatever 1 do will have something to do with horses.” Mikr Rinkrr Kevin Roger� Shane Sanderson Shannon Sanderson Tony Saylor John Scoggins Jay Self Rodney Sexton Chuck Shipe David Shirley Tracy Shrum Krista Sims Mitchell Sima Rhonda Skinner Jason Smallwood Jason Sutherland Susan Starnes Julie Stevens Eric Stewart 20] Daniel Strangr Richard Stubba Jimbo Surrett Jason Swann Dixie Swanaon Jeff Taylor Wendy Thompson Shannon Thorsby Deiter Tolbert Dena Toney Dannette Tucker Tiffinee T ucker Greg Turley Jeana Turner Bobby Valieant Tony Vaughn Lara Waddell Cherie Walker Janet Walker Marahell Walker Heather Warren Kristie Warren Stephanie Watts Shannon Waugh Sharon Webb Carrie Weils Bill Weiner Kim Weldon Dawn White Andrea Wilkinson Tim Williams Roger Willingham Wendy Wilson Theresa W yatt Clyde Yarbrough Michael Young 202 Clam Favorite Heather Warren and Bobby Bryant CiaM Favorite — Alvita Montgomery and Joe Jones Cutest — Ty I ambright, Eric Mason, and Kelly Pettus 203 Saluient Spirit Bill Weiner and Kendra Morgan DISCOUNT TROPHY SPORTING GOODS 14 Lenlock Shopping Center Anniston, AL 36201 205-820-3250 Johnson’s Muffler Shop, Inc. 1708 Wilmer Ave. Anniston, AL 36201 237-9421 Mufflers Shocks Front End Custom Duals Brakes 1933 - 1983 LIFE BEGINS AT... “AN AUTOMOTIVE PARTS TRADITION SINCE 1933 QUALITY PARTS DOMESTIC FOREIGN - COMPLETE AUTOMOTIVE MACHINE SHOP - MON - FRI 7:30AM - 5PM SAT 8AM - 12 NOON 237-4681 S DELIVERY SERVICE RADIO DISPATCH VEHICLES 126 WEST 11TH STREET ANNISTON ALA. 204 Ads Phone 237-3310 1225 Noble Street DON CRAWFORD, Owner Anniston, Alabama 36201 Complete line of office supplies and furniture all at discount prices.

Phillip� , it's only my fourteenth tardy! Saks Has IT ALL! 221 In the fall when we begin we wish hard for the end. We forget old names to learn the new as we try to decide just who’s who and footballs fly through the air toward winter coats bundled with care. Seasons dome an J We know now who our heros are and who in the future, will really go far. On into Spring . . . toward the end . . . we graduate to become women and men. It is something that we all know just like the seasons we come and go. — Jami Noey 222 Cloning an J So 2)o We Closing 223 Seasons come and go and so do people. Saks High School is no exception to this change. No matter how much we hate to leave or grow it does happen. The passing of seasons takes with it many fond memories of each student. Each student has his own certain memory for each season, fall, winter, spring, and summer. Some memories are of school activities, football games, dances, and of course friends and teachers. One of the hardest things to do is leave your friends. For the students the changing of seasons takes along with it our childhood. It allows students to grow and mature. especially seniors. Graduation is a time to realize and to remember all memories we have shared. During the fall we remember the foot- hall games and homecoming, giving us a time to show pride and spirit in our school. In the winter we get all excited about Christmas, the Who's Who dance and receiving Christmas gifts from friends. Then here is spring. Baseball season starts and basketball ends. Time for the Jamboree game to see how good our football team will be; with new faces playing, new cheerleaders, and new spec- tators. And then there is summer. Sum- mer starts with the Senior trip to Florida. This trip is special to some. It's the last time that they will probably all be together. For other students, summer is a new start a chance to break free of all responsibilities. To seniors its a time to start making decisions. Leaving Saks is a hard thing to do, for more than just seniors. The students her love this school and will never forget it, the memories, and friends. Echoes of our memories together will last forever. Editor,
