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

Text from Pages 1 - 232 of the 1988 volume:

X Change of A Change of Face is the hottest new release from Ech- oes. It's an action-packed ad- venture filled with moments we have all lived. The saga begins with a flashback to all the important activities of the year. The homecoming victory over Glencoe, the glamorous beau- ty pageants, and the prom, just to name a few. But that's not all. The story continues with a look at the athletics, which was one of the most talked about plots this year. It con- tains moments of glory and upset in all sports. The most notable of these is the resur- gence of pride due to the win- ning football season led by coach Jay Davis, who made his debut this year. Other ex- citing moments include base- ball, basketball, cheerleading, and many other notable sports seasons. The epic closes with a re- view of all the characters that were portrayed in this drama. We should say, a review of the cast of characters, includ- ing personal awards and achievements. But don't take our word for it. Experience A Change of Face for yourself. It's some- thing you'll want to review again and again. Our rating — 5 stars. 6 4 1 — More and more spirit is displayed every day as the students grow anxious for the big Homecoming game. 2 — Tne 200th birthday of our Constitution was the subject at hand, as our special speaker talks about National Pride. 3 — Lisa Bishop, Suzanne Allen, Mindy Gearheart, and Kendra Morgan take special care in touching up the pawprints for An cnor Club during Homecoming week 4 — Alumni come to take part in the enthusiasm that the tra- ditional pep rally brings. 5 — Mrs. Connell works hard on decorating signs, just one of the many contributions she makes to the school. 6 — New- comer Coach Davis is well thought of and well respected as all students give their undivided at tention during an important pep rally. 7 — SCA 5 works hard to prepare for a new year as they repaint the numoers and lines in the parking lot. The Pride Is Back Pride is Back, was this r's K minant theme. There are rnctors that contributed to return of school pride and one was the first winning season in many years for the mighty Wild- cats. Everyone was lost in the thrills of winning and pride glowed in the faces of team members, stu- dents, members of the community, and especially Joella Connell, who is a big encourager of pride. The long awaited season sparked many activities at Saks High School. Clubs and individual students were 7 greatly enthused and began work to improve the school and themselves. Active clubs worked diligently to clean-up the school grounds, repaint the parking lot, and pawprints. The improved level of pride also carried over into schoolwork, as students worked hard on their grades. Pride has been a tradition at Saks, but through the efforts of a state-bound football team, led by a new coach. Jay Davis, and a dedicated, caring teacher, Joella Connell, the student body, and the whole community, Wildcat Pride was fully restored. 7 1 — Newcomers to the high school, the eighth grad- ers, got off to a good start with their first Homecoming display. 2 — The Junior display has a glittering future when Christi Auffant, Kelly Rhodes, Ashley Kelley, and Mindy Gearhart arrive on the scene. 3 — Ginger Spruill and Kelly Mount were happy to do their part. 4 — The Freshman class displayed its pride by working long hours to produce a colorful display. 5 — The looks on the faces of Nena Ontiveros and Azalia Zamarippa reflect the time and hard work that is put into artwork. Pride Evident in Homecoming Displays The float competition is part of the traditional flurry of Home- coming week. It is yet another way the students can show their Mhool spirit and support the team. The fact that the floats are judiftf according to class adds a little spice to the contest and fans the nres of class rivalry. The members of the individual classes grow closer as they schedule hush-hush meetings at class members' houses to build their own float, or raid another class' top-secret construction site. The seniors' float won this year's competition, while the juniors took second. But since the real fun was over and the memories made before the judging even began, nobody really lost. 5 Out of This World s homecoming theme, Cats Are Out Of This World ' true as everyone supported the team in the activities of week. Students and teachers participated in dress-up door decorations, class displays, the bonfire and their cars. , students dressed with their bandanas to Ban the Yellow Jackets on Bandana Day. Tuesday was appointed Shades Day and the future was so bright for the Wildcats that everyone had to wear shades. On Wednesday, students really socked it to Glencoe on Sock Day. Thursday, everyone set out to alienate the Yellow Jackets on Alien Day. Friday was a colorful blur when everyone dressed up in all the red and white they could to see who had the most spirit on Spirit Day. During homeroom, break and after school, students and teachers worked on decorating their homeroom doors. Many unrecognized artists came out of the closest with great door designs to prove that Cats Are Out of This World. Mrs. Deerman's homeroom won first place and Mrs. Harrison's homeroom received second place in the junior high division. In senior high, Mrs. Govatos' homeroom dom- inated with Mrs. Haynes group coming in second and Mrs. Brown's class won third place. Car decorations were yet another way to prove that Cats Are Out of This World. Cars were decorated as wildcats and with catchy rhymes to show spirit. The winners were: first place — Pam Chrystal; second place — Angel White; third place — Melissa Frady; and honorable mention — Kim Holcomb and Tammy Craft. Thursday night at 7:00 the student coun- cil held the traditional bonfire. The band and cheerleaders got the students fired up while Clayton Cory, the 5.C.A. president, lit the bonfire. The bon- fire sparked the raging fire that led the Wild- cats to a homecoming victory. After the game students and alumni celebrated their victory at the homecoming dance. 1 — Ashley Kelley cheers her heart out for the Wildcats at the traditional bonfire. 2 — Ms. Connell is all smiles on Alien Day as she shows that dress-up days aren't just for students. 3 — School spirit is shown by students on Friday of homecoming week by decorating their cars. Kim Holcomb's car re- ceived honorable mention for its cute design. 10 4 — Mrs. Govatos' homeroom won first place in the Senior High division for their creative portrayal of the homecoming theme Cats Are Out Of This World. 5 — Stu dents wore their craziest socks on Sock Day to sock it to the Yellow jackets. 6 — Clayton Cory, SCA President, lit the bonfire which was the spark to the rage that led the Wild cats for a victory over Glencoe. 7 — Shae Cooper found the perfect look with her col- orful make up to alienate the Yellow Jackets on Alien Day. m u Homecoming Queen 12th Grade Representative Kelley Pettus Cindy Zielinski Senior High Representative 11 th Grade Representative Alvita Montgomery Brandy Bundrum 12 1 Oth Grade Representative Meko Higginbotham Junior High Representative Nadine Bedeau 9th Grade Representative Allison Kelley 8th Grade Representative Alicia Medders Kelley Pettus — Homecoming Queen 1 — Homecoming Maid — Janet Walker, 2 — Homecoming Maid — Dawn White, 3 — Homecoming Queen and Court — Meko Higginbotham, Brandy Bundrum, Alicia Medders, Allison Kelley, Janet Walker, Kelley Pettus, Dawn White, Nadine Bedeau, Alvita Montgomery, Cindy Zielinski.

Practice Makes Perfect This year's marching band proved to be one of the best groups of stu- dents ever to participate in our band In gram. Not only did they show out- standing talent, but they also showed their determination to be the best. All of the glory does take practice though. The band put a lot of effort into their show. After all the hours they put into practice on the band field, they still use a class period to polish up their musical performance. The band would like to give an ex- tra thanks to the Band Boosters. The Band Boosters supports the band fi- nancially and spiritually. With the combination of all these elements our band has displayed the best perfor- mance possible. 1 — Drum Major Meko Higginbotham dis- plays talent as she directs the band during halftime. 2 — Sammy Muller, Greg Turley, and Travis Atkinson give the show that ex- tra something as they present their drum appearance. 3 — Despite the humidity and heat, the woodwind section gives it their all for the best performance possible. 4 — Tim Webster, a saxophone player, struggles to survive practice during the summer heat. 5 — Paul Moore uses the rest of his strength for the final note in Stars and Stripes For- ever. 17 Making A Name For Ourselves 987-88 Saksettes have made many achievements this . ear, of which they are very proud. Having attended 3 com- petition!� the danceline was awarded two Superior ratings and best overall danceline in a competition they attended at the Birmingham Civic Center. They also were invited to attend a JSl+J basketball game where they danced during halftime. Though being a Saksette seems all fun and games, it also takes a lot of time and devotion. Starting in mid-july, the danceline attends band camp for a week where nine hours a day are devoted to hard practice. Following this the group practices through the summer and fall, three days a week in hopes of creating an excellent halftime performance. the danceline is considered part of the band since they both practice and attend competitions with one another. But this year the Saksettes expanded its activities and kept right on working past football season and into basketball season. They danced at two basketball games, once to Mony Mony by Billy Idol and once to Push It by Salt and Pepper, which they later performed at competition. The danceline has reached many goals this year, which will help encourage future Saksette members to strive for all they can and to work to be the best possible danceline ever. 1 — Cathy Zielinski waits in anticipation as the band beeins to play. 2 — Saksettes stand at attention after their well performed halftime snow. 3 — Stefanie Fields, Angie Adams, Ashley McGinnis, Lindsay Hooper, and Tracy Walker are all smiles as they Finish another tiring night. 4 — Saksettes pose at the beginning of their routine during halftime of a Varsity Basketball game. 5 — FRONT ROW — L.

The Symphonic Band competed in the Al- abama Band Masters District Elimination in March, where for the sixth consecutive year they earned a superior rating in concert performance. This qual- ified the band for the State Competition Festival, also for the sixth consecutive time. Mike Clifton and Tim Webster earned individual honors. They were selected for All-State Band where Mike placed third in the state. The Saks Jazz Ensemble was invited to perform for the Anniston Altruso Club's yearly Thanks- giving celebration. This year they performed for 150 foreign officer's and their families. The Saks Jazz Band was also chosen to perform for the Anniston Chamber of Commerce at the annual Forward Calhoun County dinner this Christmas. The Jazz band's record of high achievement caused them to be asked to become the host and a member of the nominating board of ''Music-fest U.S.A. Music-fest U.S.A. is a national jazz fes- tival sponsored by Downbeat magazine. In May, the Jazz Band gave an invitation only performance at the University of Georgia Festival of Champions. Concert Band, whose members and also part of the Marching Band, spent a busy year perfecting their musical skills and developing greater facility with their instruments. This band is a transition step from the relative simplicity of the Marching Band to the greater expertise required in the Symphonic Band. The Concert Band performed twice this year, a winter concert in December and a spring concert in May. 21 1 — The 1987-88 Robed Choir — FRONT ROW — D. Swanson, A. Kel- ley, M. Gearhart, C.

This year the choir decided to try something neJBw they put together a Christmas Musical called Santa s Frosty Follies. The new idea turned out to be a big success in all three performances in which it was used. The first performance was held for a group of children at the museum. The children were very excited to see Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer all in the same day and en- joyed the program very much. The second performance was the annual Christmas Concert. During the Christmas concert, the Senior Ensemble performed a special medley and the choir sang many special Christmas songs. The concert ended with the choir singing Silent Night in German by candlelight. After the choir concert, the choir performed the musical again for their fellow classmates in the school's Christmas assembly. The musical was a big hit with all the students and got Christmas vacation off to a good start. After Christmas, the Robed Choir traditionally starts to work toward perfection of their contest songs. Much time is spent working on the contest music to ensure the inclusion of just the right elements to impress the judges. This year's District Choral Festival was held at Gadsden State Junior College. The Robed Choir and Senior Ensemble both received Superior Ratings. The Robed choir excelled as far as to make a 1+ (superior-plus) in sight humor is added to the how by Mark Jones, Bruce Snider, nd Santa Claus himself. 2 — The udience found much entertainment i the singing and dancing of Kim unn and Rudolph the Red-Nosed eindeer. 3 — A main attraction to le Christmas concert was Santa's Ives when they marched onto stage ith the intent to capture their au- ience's hearts. I 3 23 Jr. Choirs Perform with Pride As members enter the Junior Choir program, they quickly gain a sense of pride in the tradition of per- forming excellence that the Saks Singers have es- tablished. Winning superior ratings is a hallmark of the choir program. Training toward that goal begins early in a student's high school career. Mrs. Burleson, the choir director, believes that hard work is the only road to achieving superior choirs. Students learn the finer points of voice as they prepare and practice for concerts. The hard work is rewarded as the choirs repeatedly turn in winning performances. JR. SAKS SINGERS FRONT ROW — Sarah Ergle.

The students who are members of the Sr. Ensemble and those who try out for All- State are very dedicated and spend a lot of extra time prac- ticing. The Sr. Ensemble prepares a special presentation for both the Christmas and Spring Concerts in addition to their contest music. At the District Choral Festival at Gadsden State Junior College, the Sr. Ensemble received a superior rating. The group attended the State Choral Festival in May. Choir students began practicing for All-State at the be- ginning of school and auditioned at Emma Samson High School, in Gadsden, in February. There were 29 choir students chosen from our school to participate in the Alabama All-State Festival For Chorus and Orchestra. Melissa Frady was chosen District Outstanding Choral Student and was able to audition for the State position at the festival. This year's festival was held March 23-26. 1 — Officers — D. Holcomb,).

Due twIBp ipcation of the prom at the Holiday Inn the juniors were not able to begin the actual decorating until 8 o'clock Sat- urday morning. Many weeks be- fore the prom were spent pre- paring what decorations that could be prepared ahead of time. Many juniors could be found with red sore fingers from curl- ing ribbon and tying balloons. Miniature masks were hand- made for each student attending the prom and placed on the wall so that the students could take them home for souvenirs. The junior sponsors worked very hard to see that the prom was the best one yet. The juniors were dedicated to making Mas- querade '88 a very special eve- ning. Many hours of diligent work was put forth and it all paid off when the work was done and the decorations were beautiful. 2 1 — Christi Auffant collects helium balloons to release on the ceiling for a beautiful effect. 2 — Mindy Gearhardt, Ashley Kelley, and Kelly Mount take spe- cial care in their decorating of the refreshments area. 3 — Mrs. Hedgepath, Mrs. Morris, Ms. Eaton, and Mrs. Mountain worked extra hard to put together a great prom. 4 — Kasey Sims and Stacy Smith proudly stand under the display of the prom theme. VMM • %� 4 1 — Working together was the key to success for the juniors as displayed here while they work on the archway. 2 — Cathy Zielinski is proof that decorating is fun as she enjoys playing with bal- loons. 3 — Amy Cotton, Rhonda Coleman, and Jonnie Thompson take a break to play with the masks. 4 — Decorating is for everyone as shown by Jason Wergin and Brent Encinias as they plan out where to place the mask. 5 — Decorating was not always fun as displayed by Angie Murray and Kelly Rhodes as they tie balloons with pain stricken fingers. 29 1 3 1 — Kevin Daugherty and Misty Shears share a moment in the spot- light. 2 — Mr. Thomas inspects the final result of weeks of hard work. 3 — Kenny Norris and Sharon Fleming take time out to enjoy the decorations and each other's company. 4 — Those magic moments of closeness will make lasting memories worth treasuring. 30 Masquerade '88 A Very Special Evening As (be night of May 14, 1988 approached, the excitement of the Prom began to grow. But this year Wits hot just another Prom. This was the first Prom ever to be held away from the school. It was held at the Holiday Inn in Oxford. The Holiday Inn pro- vided a perfect place for a Mas- querade, the theme of this year's Prom. The Juniors worked very hard to create a spectacular scene for everyone to enjoy. As couples began to arrive they re- alized how exciting and different the 1988 Prom would be. As the evening began friends enjoyed each other's company on and off the dance floor. Refreshments were served by the Holiday Inn and parents volunteered in pro- viding and helping with the food. One of the special mo- ments of the Prom was the Se- nior Song. As Amy Cochran, Johnny Carr, Tracy Payne, and Jeff Taylor sang In Our Hearts, Seniors danced and looked back on their Senior Year. After the song couples be- gan to leave for Birmingham, At- lanta, and other special places to eat. This night will be a memory for every person to cherish for always. 1 — Cathy Zielinski and escort Randy Bell pause for one last photo before leaving the Prom. 2 — Tired dancers take a break to relax and enjoy the punch provided by parents of the Junior Class. 3 — Dixie Swanson, Dennis Holcomb, and David Shirley gather in the thick of the action. 4 — Penny Batchelor, Diane Mulligan, and Kris Gowens observe the dancing and enjoy just being there as friends. 31 The Fine Art Of Studying Along with all the other activities, clubs, and baUgames, thete' is one mertkory of high school shared by all (well, almost all) students. Th«|y all, in some fashion and to varying degrees, study, whether it be to keep your parents off your case, to keep up your GPA so you can get into a good college, or just for that feeling of satisfacwm that comes from a job well done, the result is the same. Everybody studies, but nobody studies in quite the same way. Every student has his own style. Some hibernate in the library on weekends, investing a fortune in the copy machine and bur- rowing into musty reference books. Others take a more relaxed approach, keeping their nights and weekends free and dashing off last-millisecond work in the hall before homeroom or before the period bell sounds. Most take the middle road. Sometimes they cram frantically, sometimes they busy themselves polishing their halos as they turn in assignments early. Most of the time they turn work in on time, work which was done late the night before to the accompaniment of the stereo or MTV. 4 3 1 — Laura Hedgepath and Marlene West are required to study a great deal for Advanced Placement American History. 2 — Sean Hart and Tom Williams use the material and the quiet atmosphere in the library to help them study. 3 — Students in Mrs. Brown's Honors English class are sometimes given the opportunity during class to catch up on reading and other assignments. 4 — Students Nena Ontiveros and Sean Hart concentrate on a Chemistry ex periment while student-teacher Kelly Freeman looks on. 32 1 — Hands-on experience is available to science students. Kim Dunn, Laura Hedgepath and Marlene West struggle through a chemistry experiment in Chro- matography. 2 — Kevin Daughtery finds a comfortable, but unusual place to study after being expelled from his Sociology class. 3 — Jeff Powell studies by mental telepathy. 3 33 Not Just A Word When the word dance is mentioned around Saks High School, it's not a word that casually rolls out, but a word that caused mixed feelings such as excitement as well as worry. Dances play an important part in the social life of our high school. Each is a time to show off that fine girl or guy from another school, a time to see that everyday school girl in all her glamour; but most of all, a time to put that hectic school- work and silly gossip aside and enjoy some time as friends. The Student Council sponsored two dances this year. They sponsored the Homecoming dance that took place after an outstanding victory over Glencoe. They al- so sponsored the annual Who's Who Dance where prominent students were recognized by the student body according to their in- telligence, talent, personality, popularity, and dress. The Pep Club sponsored a Victory Dance to celebrate the victory of the Wildcats in the Area 12 Championship. The Anchor Club sponsored the Tolo Dance in March in which the girls asked the guys for dates. This was a change because for once, the guys had to wonder if they would get to go. The theme for this dance was Out of the Blue. Everyone dressed in blue jeans and denim outfits. Dances form fond memories to look back on. Each one is a time of enjoyment and a time to come together as a family and dance the troubles away. Dance is not just a word, but a feeling. It's a wonderful time to remember. 34 2 I Gathering in groups on the dance floor to laugh and talk, students form a crowd of revelry. Some. Jason among them, actually dance. 2 — Dances are a time for more than dancing; getting together with friends outside the class setting is also important. 3 — They also serve who only stand and pour. SCA president Clayton Cory pours a refreshment for a thirsty dancer. 4 — Caught up in the music, Angela and Angie show everyone how it's done. 5 — A slow dance provides a moment of closeness and a lasting memory. 6 — Greg l-ovelady and his date. Heather Warren, rise to dance as Andy Shaw and Windi Bowman take a breather and chat. 35 More Than Just A Pretty Face This year's Miss Saks Jr. High and Miss Saks Sr. High pageants took place on February 12 and 13. The theme of the pageants was Rainbow Reflections and the stage was decorated with a spectacular array of balloons. As the nights approached, each girl bought her special dress and accessories, took great care on hair, make-up and nails, and did the best she could to add something more than just beauty. The judges admitted that this year's decision could not be made by appearance alone. They also judged natural beauty, modeling, and personality. The judges carefully considered each girl and contem- plated the winners at length. Their difficult decision was finally made and Carla Moses was crowned Miss Saks Jr. High on Friday night and Tracy Walker Miss Saks Sr. High 1988 on Saturday night. The Miss Saks Pageant is sponsored yearly by the Saks Band Booster Club. This year's director was Nanna Clark. Emcee for both nights was Darlene Real, a fashion consultant. Escorts for both nights were members of the band, Brian Clark, Jason Lockette, Sammy Mueller, Tim Webster, and Tony Web- ster. Each night held many exciting events and as always, each girl deserves a hand for just appearing on stage, a very frightening experience. 1 — Tracy Walker is full of excitement as she is crowned by last year's Miss Saks Senior High winner, Christi Noel!. 2 Tammy Craft, a senior, portrays her excitement by giving her final and lasting smile before the judges make their decision. 3 — Miss Saks Senior High and her court l.-K, Tracy Walker — Miss Saks Senior High.

This pageant was started by the Athletic Club six years ago and each year has be- come more important to those who participate ana to those who come to cheer their friend or relative on. Each girl looked at the pageant in a different way. Some were filled with fear and anticipation because it was a first. Others were more relaxed and looked forward to a new trophy for the living room shelf. Vet to all, it was important to look just right and much prepa- ration was put into this. Deep down, the feeling all shared was the hope of wearing the title of Miss Saks Football. The pageant itself consisted of very close competition. Because of close scores the judges were forced to choose eleven finalists instead of ten. After several requests for re- peat appearances, the decision was finally made. Much anxiety was in the air when Kelley Pettus was named the winner of the Sr. High Division and Carla Moses winner of the Jr. High Division. The chairperson of the pageant was Anita Hamm; Gena Swords was the Master of Ceremonies, and Peggy Novae was the entertainer accompanied by Patsy Brooks as organist. All these and more helped to create a night that would be cherished in the hearts of these girls forever. Sr. High — Kelley Pettus SR.

To some, break is simply a second breakfast where the benefits of the break room are enjoyed. But to others, it is a time to be spent with friends catching up on the latest gossip Some teachers use break as an op- portunity to punish students for inap- propriate behavior by requiring that those precious ten minutes of freedom be spent in isolation in a classroom, rather ; with friends enjoying the pleasures reak 1 — Scott Brown developed his own technique while painting the spaces in the parking lot.

The council members are assigned a teacher for a 48 secret pal the week of Valentine's day each year to show appreciation. 6 — SCA President, Clayton Cory, set the perfect example by not only organizing but also participating in all the activities. The People Behind The Scenes lhe Student Council accomplished many things this school year. Under the dedicated sponsorship of Ms. Haynes, the Council pr esided over school registration, giving out schedules and renting lockers and selling parking stickers, as well as organizing a back to schtn ance. Soon after this, the SCA representatives found thefti elves repainting the lines of the school parking lot. As usual, they arranged for the many Homecoming festivities, including the elections, the judging for dress up days, displays, and for home- room doors, halftime activities, and afterwards, the dance. Next, the members chose the Who's Who categories, prepared and distributed the ballots, and counted the votes the candidates received. The winners were later announced at the annual dance. During the course of the year, the SCA also sponsored many assemblies, including a Bicentennial Assembly for the Consti- tution, the Veterans Bay Assembly, the Christmas Assembly, and a town meeting where U.S. Senator Howell Heflin was the guest speaker. For the week preceding Valentine's Day the Council chose teacher secret pals and gave them gifts throughout the week. They also sold carnations to the students, which were given out during homeroom on that Friday. In early March, the SCA sponsored Send-A-Mouse-to-College for the American Cancer Society in order to raise funds for research. In April, they helped prepare for the election of new members and the transfer of power to a new group of elected officers. The students were well represented by the persons they elected to the SCA. Each member performed his task with a spirit of dedication and enthusiasm. 1 1 — The student council plays a big part in preparing students for the new school year by giving out schedules, renting lockers, and selling parking stickers. 2 — Clayton Cory, SCA President, and Stacey Norton, SCA Vice- president, presented certificates to chosen students at the Who's Who dance which they sponsor. 3 — The student council is responsible for the many assemblies throughout the school year and spend a lot of time preparing for them.

Many activities contrib- uted to the improvement of the school and community. At the beginning of the school year, the club added about 19 new mem- bers, some from the Senior and Junior class, but most were Sophomores. In November, the club began two very important projects. Teacher Pen Pals and Parents Anonymous, which they continued throughout the year. Each member was as- signed one teacher in the school and was responsible for giving small gifts or notes on special occasions. At Christmas, each girl felt the joy of the season and volun- teered in providing the children at Parents Anonymous with a party, that consisted of candy, games, and toy surprises donated by local merchants. Other special projects for Christmas included ringing the bell for the Salvation Army, making care packages, and caroling for the Golden Springs Nursing Home. For Valentine's Day the club sold and delivered candygrams and in March they sponsored a new kind of dance at Saks High School called a Tolo Dance. A Tolo is where everything is backwards; the girls ask the guys and the dress is casual. The theme for this dance was Out of the Blue, and the dress was bluejeans. Half of the profits from the candygrams and the dance were donated to the March of Dime's an- nual Walk-a-thon. To end the year, four girls from the club attended Anchor Club Convention in Tuscaloosa. 4 1 — The March program meeting provided the members with guest speakers from three different career fields. Frank Craft was the speaker for the business field. 2 — Tammy Craft, Vice-President, serves Pam Chrystal and new members Tara Cantrell and Karen Morris at the new member induction. 3 — Cindy Laney, a Kindergarten teacher at Sacred Heart, gives” a very impressing pres- entation about her experience with children, and materials like Mr. Sleeper, that make teaching more interesting. 4 — At Halloween, the girls had their own Halloween party. They dressed up in scary, funny, and very unusual cos- tumes. 3 51 A Draining Experience Red Cross Blood Drive at Saks High held on April 8, 1988 in the new gym. Club assisted the Red Cross as they have past. The members began setting up for the driv . at 7:00 a.m., and did not leave until all the equipment was put away at 4:30 p.m. The blood drive began at 9:00 and ended at 3:30. During this time the Key Club supplied willing hands in three shifts to aid in registration, to serve refreshments, to check on any patients who felt faint, and to label blood bags. Students in medical training from the area trade school at Jacksonville, also provided assistance, has- tening the processing of donors by taking their blood pressure and temperature. The blood drive was truly a community effort. The majority of the blood was donated by high school students. Other residents of the community donated the remainder of the blood. These donors had to meet the requirements made by the Red Cross. Some of these requirements included being the age of sev- enteen and weighing at least 110 pounds. This year's Blood Drive was another record year. A total of 105 pints of life-saving blood was collected. This was Saks' fifth year to sponsor a Red Cross blood drive. In those five years, a total of approximately 550 pints of blood has been donated. 2 3 1 — David Shirley and Stacey Norton play it cool while giving blood. Even blood can't drain their senses of hu- mor. 2 — David Ramey goes through the preliminaries before giving blood in good humor. 3 — Do students like Johnny Carr give blood out of the goodness of their heart or for the food that follows? 52 1 — Christi Auffant provides Christie McDonald with much needed encour- agement before she donates blood. 1 2 — Bruce Snider looks concerned as he gives medical information to the Red Cross. 3 — Mrs. Deerman checks on a patient and is amused at what she finds. Not even blood can drain the smile off of Eric Moten's face. 4 — Just like a sister, Kathy Lloyd comforts Lisa Bishop as she gives blood. 53 Key Club “Undying Tradition Key Club is the largest high school organization in the world. It is composed of young men ranging from the eighth to twelfth grade. Its main purpose is to serve others both in the school and in the community. The Key Club undertook many proj- ects throughout the year. Many of these projects were designed to benefit char- ities throughout the surrounding area, such as the Boy's Ranches. The club held a canned food drive and bought presents for the boys at Christmastime. They also helped to raise money for them by hold- ing a Bike-a-thon and a car wash. One of the most beneficial areas in which the Key Club participated was the Drug Awareness program at Saks Middle School. They each took turns ad- vising the students about the uselessness of drugs. The Key Club also did many things for our high school itself. They had a bike-a- thon to raise money to buy a new trophy case for the gym. In addition to this, they bought and painted trash cans for the football field. Along with these things, they also had everyday tasks that sometimes went un- noticed. They were responsible for the raising and lowering of the flag, making announcements in the morning and afternoon, and keeping the marquis in front of the school up-to-date on cur- rent school events. The Key club represented our school from divisional rallies to district and international con- ventions. Chris Thacker was elected Lieutenant Governor of Division VI, and Janet Walker was chosen Division VI Sweet- heart. The Key Club means a lot to Saks High School for everything they stand for and do around the school. The Key Club was es- tablished 20 years ago this year, and is a tradition that we hope never dies out. 1 — Scott Brown keeps students informed by keeping the school sign up-to-date. 2 54 2 — Key Club members — S.

It was the largest staff in several years having eighteen mem- bers who were all girls. The annual staff is sponsored by Mrs. Rush. She was quick to compliment her staff as being in- novative, hard working and eager to produce the best book ever. The staff continually lived up to these compli- ments. Members began working early in the sum- mer by selling ads to area merchants and patrons. Once pictures arrived, work began at a fast pace. Copy was written, layouts were drawn, and the final design was decided. Throughout the hard work and the hurried dead- lines, the annual staff had fun. It often seemed impossible to finish, but Mrs. rush, the cheerleader of the group, was always confident it would be accomplished. The annual staff carried out an impressive, spirit- filled year of working together as a team. Their accomplishments were not due to one person, but the praise belonged to the staff as a whole. After a full year of hard work, Mrs. Rush's prediction of a great year held true. 56 1 — Kristie Warren, editor, works hard doing unusual tasks for the annual. 2 — 1987-88 Annual Staff, F to B, Lindsay Hooper, Teena Howard, Kathy Lloyd, Kristie Warren, Diana Chung, Stefanie Fields, Dawn Weeks, Terri Echols, Lisa Bishop, Brandy Bundrum, Barbara Gibson, Tara Sisk, Kelly Rhodes, Leifie Montgomery, Stacey Norton, Tammy Craft, Ellen Brooks, Cindy Zielinski. 1 — A friendly Annual Staff gladly receives money in return for their hard work.

Varsity Show Talk of the Varsity Show at the beginning of the year led to the disappointment of many peo- ple. The senior athletes were told that they would not have one this year. This was a big letdown for the whole school as well as the seniors. The Varsity Show is not your everyday show, but something special that brings out the best in everyone. Each senior athlete chooses a song or singer that he or she wants to pantomime. Many hours of practice go into making the on-stage video just right. The song is usually chosen to fit a personal situation of the athlete. This brings about much humor within the watching audi- ence. The Varsity Show is not only exciting for the participants, but it brings about a sense of cu- riosity among the fellow students and parents who come to watch. Everyone wants to see the star football player blush with embarrassment, or the talented cheerleader make a wrong step in her routine. The show is always surprising be- cause it has a feeling of a true, live concert. Not only are you watching your everyday, popular idols perform but you also have a feeling of wanting to reach out and touch them as if they were truly a rock star. The Varsity Show has a lot of meaning to everyone. By the spring, the decision had changed to give the Varsity Show one more try. It has turned into a tradition that gives athletes a motive and brings about a reward for the hard work done throughout the years. The Varsity Show is an honor that we hope will last for many years to come. 3 1 — Heather Landers along with her backup, Tracy Payne and Sherri Crossley, imitate the video “Girlfriend. 2 — Jason Swann rocks to Xavian's “Eat Your Heart Out. 3 — Dennis Holcomb is “Bad. 1 _ jeff Powell is 'Sweet'' as he sings Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard. 2 — Kelley Pettus gets down' as she pantomimes Salt and Peppa's Push It. 3 — Curtis Byrd welcomes everyone to the jungle as he imitates Guns and Roses. 4 — The crowd eats Carrie Wells up as she sings Kiss Me Deadly by Lita Ford.

Writer's Club 61 The Fashion Look of the 80's Denim was the rule on the fashion scene in 1987-88. Acid washed denim made the splotch-look hot in everything from jackets to jeans, and purses to boots. Denim gave students the versatility needed to go from casual school clothes to a sharp ensemble for that “hot date on Saturday night. To the horror of parents, jeans with holes were the latest fashion fad. It was not unheard of for a new, forty dollar pair of jeans to be ripped and torn before they were ever worn to give them that carefree look. Shoes complimented the casual attire adopted by students. Low-top boots and high-top tennis shoes were a comfortable accessory for every day wear. A revised boat shoe was a must with jeans. Mini-skirts and bow ties made a fashion reappearance. Cut- off jeans and plain white tennis shoes were adopted from days- gone-by for wear in the hot weather brought on by spring. Scarves and bandannas became a popular fashion accent among the girls. They teased their hair and added big earrings to complete their totally 80's look. 2 0 IS 1 — Karen Morris goes to class wearing her blue jeans on the latest fad with a comfortable T-shirt and low-top boots. 2 — Mini-skirts and bandannas proved to be very popular for the 1988 school year as shown by Dixie Swanson while she checks the bulletin board for the latest news. 3 — Manuel Ramirez, Kim Nunnally, and Chad Cotton illustrated three different fashion styles.

The Wildcats dominated county play in every sport, an accomplishment seldom seen in the past. From the very first game of the football schedule to the completion of the softball season, Saks was known as the team to beat, the team which our opponents feared. And there was good reason for this. Pride was an emotion that had been sadly lacking in the area of football. Yet this year the Varsity team, known by all as J.D.'s Jammers, created within every Saks supporter the spirit which had been insufficient in years past. Jay Davis transferred from Auburn High School and became the head coach of the Varsity football team and the school athletic director. He installed a program which weeded out the less dedicated athletes and what remained was the team which won respect back from the community. Each opponent in the county fell one by one beneath the onslaught of talent that Coach Davis unleashed in the form of an efficient and determined Saks football club. As a result of this deadly combination the Wildcats finished with a 9-2 record and were named the Area 12 5A Champions. And for the first time in thirteen long years Saks became a part of the contest for the state title. Excitement ran rampant through the crowd who watched the dynamic talents of the basketball team as they rolled off victory after victory. The Varsity team was led by the coaching skills of Coach Ricky Casey who took the Wildcats to an Area Championship and the finals of the County Tournament. Then to the acclaim of the roaring students, affectionately dubbed the Animal House, they also competed in two games of sub-state, defeating Pell City in the first round and losing by one point to eventual state runner-up Woodlawn. Casey not only had the responsibility of developing the basketball program but also was head coach of Jr. High football and was assistant coach for Varsity football. Elation was not a stranger to Saks students when related to baseball. From Anniston High School we received Butch Wright who inherited the exalted position of head coach. Under his exacting commands the Varsity baseball team posted an 18-2 record (the best in the county) and won the county tournament, e Jr. Varsity team carried a 7-2 record and boasted the ability to defeat most area varsity teams. Coach right also coached 7th and 8th grade basketball and was an assistant for Varsity football. His task of orming a defensive line resulted in the birth of a line that was the backbone of the most powerful ootball team in the county. Joy was the only word that could be related to track. The track team had a new head coach in Daryl Cooper, who transferred to Saks from Mortimer Jordan High School in Birmingham. Both girls' and boys' track were successful, a tribute to Cooper's talents as a coach. Coach Cooper also worked with 9th grade basketball and the offensive line of the Varsity football team. Contentment soothed the disappointment that golf would not be at Saks for another year. Steve Jacobs is a familiar face at Saks. His responsibilities range from head coach of the golf team and assistant coach of the football team to helping the school function as it does today. Happiness was an emotion that finally shook hands with the softball program. Randy Law took over a struggling program to make the Lady Wildcats one of the strongest softball teams in the area. His hopes are to rebuild a new softball team through the experience that the younger players gained this year as members of the team. Coach Law also had the luck of being head coach of the talented Jr. Varsity basketball team who had a disappointing but promising season. Each of these coaches gave Saks something that was long overdue. And those of us who are graduating this year especially want to thank you for bringing pride back to Saks. Good luck in the future and don't forget the Class of '88. 1 — Coach Casey helped the bas- ketball team become one of the best programs in the county. 2 — New Saks coach. Butch Wright, led the baseball team to the best record in the county. 3 — The struggling Saks Ath- letic Program was turned around by the combined efforts of the coaches. 4 — Head Coach Jay Davis and his assistants gave the Wildcat football club a new attitude. FORE! Just Teeing Off It seems that the Saks High Golf team is on a roll and they are never going to stop. Last year's Saks High School golf team was a hard act to follow, but amazingly the 1988 team accom- plished just that and more. Several veteran players from last year returned to play this year so the team had an edge from the very beginning of the season. Scott Brown, Kevin Daugherty, Kevin Rogers and Amy Miller, and Scott Eaton were some members of last year's team who showed the novice players of this year the ropes. This season proved to be very successful for the team and individually. The team went to state at Gulf Shores and sophomore Amy Miller came back with the honor of being runner-up in the state. When asked how she felt when she received runner-up, she re- sponded, At first I was a little disappointed, but then I realized that I still have two more years. Next year I can only do better. Amy also commented that she had greatly improved as an individual. But as a team, last year's was hard to follow.

The encouragement of Strike him out! or Put it out of the park! that come from the parents and students that dot the stands are welcome to the sixteen boys that the inconspic- uous Jr. Varsity baseball team consists of. These dedicated players didn't play their season for the glory associated with Saks baseball, but rather for their love of the sport and the hope that the experience gained this year will help to make them better players when they join the Varsity team next season. The b-team proved to have the ability to carry on the Saks baseball image, los- ing only two games out of the nine they played. They began their season with a All in a Day's Work win over Gadsden, then rolled off three more victories before being de- feated by Wellborn and Hartselle to end their bid for a perfect record. They completed the season with wins over Anniston, Jacksonville, and Hokes Bluff. Several players were recognized for their outstanding play and were moved up to varsity. These included Dion Williams, catcher; Geoff Todd, pitcher; Shannon Parris, pitcher; and Keith Slaton, outfielder. The other members combined to develop a b- team that could defeat most area var- sity teams, and as a future varsity team the years ahead should be bright for the Wildcat baseball program. 1 — Shannon Parris steps up to the plate and prepares to bat. 2 — During an area game against Wellborn, Dion Williams steps in and relieves Dennis Holcomb from his hindcatching position. 3 — The Jr. Varsity team gathers to give one an- other encouragement. 4 — The Wildcats wait for the pitch. 2 70 Varsity H The Thrill of it All Take me out to the ballpark, take me out to the game ... It was a season to remember, thrilling games won by the thin margin of one point or by the domination of the scoreboard by the Wildcats, excitement as each opponent fell beneath the combined talents of a superior Saks! team, and dejection as the Wildcats missed state playoffs as the result of the only two losses of the year. Once again the Saks baseball club proved to be the team to beat in county play. The powerhouse tradition was carried on in the form of an 18-2 record, the only defeats coming from area rivals Oxford and Jacksonville. But the Wildcats avenged the earlier losses by defeating the Yellow Jackets and the Eagles in regular season play and winning a thriller over Jacksonville in the County tournament to bring home the championship. The line-up was peppered with outstanding players who were rewarded with recognition for their excellent play. Four players were named to the All-Tournament team: Dallis Snow, Shane Owens, Tommy Carter, and Jeff Powell, Tommy Carter, Bill Weiser, and Jeff Powell were designated to the All-County team. Saks placed five members on the All-Star team, who were nominated by the coaches as the best players in the state, to play a series of games. Tommy Carter, Jeff Powell, Bill Weiser, Shane Owens, and Dennis Holcomb were named for the first round All-Star game and from these well-known talents. Tommy Carter and Jeff Powell made it to the championship game played on the first Saturday in June. Tommy Carter led the team in batting with a .475 average. He was recognized statewide for hitting a record homerun, during a county tournament game at Anniston, that cleared the fence in deep right-centerfield and measured over 585 feet. In the same game, Jeff Powell had an infield homerun which raised his number of homeruns to six, where he led the Wildcats. He finished the year with a .400 average. Other leading batters were Steve Mitchell, who was second in batting with a .423; Jeff Taylor, .404; and Dallis Snow, .400. And for their defensive skills, Jeff Powell, Tommy Carter, Dallis Snow, Dennis Holcomb, and Jeff Taylor were recognized among the best on the Saks team. Although the baseball team will lose the last of the players who participated in the 1986 state championship games, they will be gaining those who have the dedication and the ability to carry Saks into future playoffs. Next year's Wildcats should prove to be a force to be reckoned with, and they vyill have the voices of yesteryear's triumphs to urge them on.

The I-ady Wildcats were one of the teams Calhoun County opponents looked for- ward to playing, but in one short year, all of that changed. This year everything seemed to fall into place for Saks under the new leadership of Coach Randy Law, and assistant Coach Randy Haynes. Jumping on a winning roll, the Lady Cats won nine of their first twelve games with big wins against teams such as Wellborn and the ever tough Pleasant Valley Raiders. The season slacked off a bit and went through a trying time, but just as planned, the girls really began to play their game at the right time. County Tournament. They entered the Tourna- ment with the record of ten and nine, and the odds were against them due to the weak period they went through. During the first game they beat Alex- andria 5-4, and then Piedmont the next day with the same result. The next game was to be a test, and Pleasant Valley came out on top. But with their backs against the wall, Saks came out of the Losers Bracket to beat Piedmont again and then Pleasant Valley twice in a row to become the new reigning County Champions. 1 — The call is safe as Terri Crossley gives her all to get on at second. 2 — Keeping the record book as well as moral support displays only half of Janet Walker's dedication to the team. 3 — A double play is successful as April Bryant fires the ball from second. 4 — Tara Cantrell beats the throw to first with a lot of hustle. 5 — Coach I jw discusses game tactics at the end of a hard inning.

Track is not a sport of relaxation. It is a sport in which one pushes his her body and mind to their limits in order to achieve the highest level of ex- cellence. This year, the track team achieved such excellence as many individuals placed in the various meets that occurred during the season. Some individuals were Eric King, Joe Jones, and Donald Paige. There are several others that achieved success, not only in reg- ular meets, but at the sectional and county 4 GIRL'S TEAM TRACK meets also. The track team also had another type of success this year as more people tried out for the team. This shows the increase in popularity of this rigorous and demanding sport. Also due to the increase in the number of team members, several individuals went to state this year. This promises to make next year's team successful if the new blood” that joined the team this year comes back next year.

The final scores of the games did not do them justice because the team spent many hours of hard practice on the field and played their best during each game. By comparing last year's season record (0-5) to this year's (1-5) one is able to see the overall improvement made by the team. The best improvement was in the offense, states Eddie Gibson, one member of the team. But you could see the improvement in both offense and defense by the end of the season. The team improved each game and overall did a good job, comments Coach Casey. Key players, such as Chris Cook, Stan Anderson, Jason Childs, and Patrick Hall played an im- portant part in our overall success as a team this season. If next year's Junior High Football team con- tinues this steady improvement, it will be a team to contend with. This also promises that the Varsity team in a few years will perhaps be a team to remember. 1 — A fast Wildcat rushes ahead of the Oxford defense. 2 — A Saks team member blocks for a fellow team member as he runs for a touchdown. 3 — Another excellent catch on the return kick! 80 A Season of Almosts As the summer came to an end, a new volleyball season was just beginning. The Lady Wildcats re- sumed practice every day during the latter part of the summer and kept at it when school began. Working on keeping the pattern to a bump, set, spike routine took a lot of hard work, but the Lady Wildcats kept at it and it paid off during the season as they went 17-9. The highlights of tne season came when they played Wellborn. After defeating Wellborn during the regular season and at the County Tournament, when the Area Tournament came around. Wellborn was ready for the Wildcats. The Cats defeated Wellborn in the first set of the first game 15-3, then Wellborn came back and won the second game and a third game had to be played. Wellborn came back to win 17-16. The Wildcats then had to play Oxford and won 15-10. The tournament then narrowed to a contest between Saks and Wellborn, to determine the winner for the area. Wellborn was strong after sitting out a game and beat the Lady Cats 15-10, which was a great dis- appointment as the season ended with the Wildcats coming in second in the area and fourth in the county. 1 — Lisa Bishop takes to the air in a successful attempt to spike the ball. 2 — The lady Wildcats move into the 'cup position as Tara Cantrell effectively uses her over-hand power against Jacksonville's defense. 3 — Tara Cantrell sacrifices herself to dive for a well-placed ball. 4 — Using the bump technique, Julie Campbell sets up the ball. 82 SHS 1987 Season OPP. 15 Jacksonville 4 15 Ohatchee 3 7 Donoho 15 5 White Plains 15 15 Alexandria 10 12 White Plains 15 1 Pleasant Valley 15 11 Weaver 15 15 Jacksonville 5 11 Donoho 15 15 Oxford 3 15 Alexandria 4 15 Wellborn 7 13 White Plains 15 15 Ohatchee 4 15 Jacksonville 6 16 Wellborn 14 15 Alexandria 13 15 Ohatchee 3 15 Jacksonville 4 15 Oxford 5 15 Randolph County 3 15 Jacksonville 13 14 Wellborn 16 15 Oxford 10 12 Wellborn 15 1987 VOLLEYBALL TEAM Kathy Lloyd Amy Cochran Julie Campbell Janet Walker Tracy Shrum Tara Cantrell Lisa Bishop Tara Sisk Azalia Zammarippa April Bryant Kara Borders Misty Wooten 22 14 34 J l] 23 J E 44 J 21 3 35 J 31 A Legacy of Achievement With Vision For Tomorrow This year proved to be quite a memorable and winning year for the Jr. Varsity and Jr. High cheerleading squads. Both squads at- tended clinic at Jacksonville State Univer- sity and both won awards there. The J.V. cheerleaders won second in their division, while the Jr. High group won outstanding squad in another division. J.V. cheerleader April Landers received special recognition when she won the Spirit Award. In No- vember, the Jr. High squad attended the ICF regional competition and placed third, thus qualifying to attend Nationals at Nash ville, Tennessee. There the girls had the honor of placing fifth runner-up out of eighty squads. The 1987-88 year definitely proved to be an exciting and exhilarating one for both the Jr. Varsity and Jr. High scjuads. The combined talents of these girls exhibits a very promising future for the Varsity cheerleading of tomor- row. JR.

VARSITY SQUAD Kendra Morgan Kelley Pettus Heather Warren Tracy Payne Lisa Brock Dawn White Keitha Cotton Shae Cooper Lorri Pitts Ashley Kelley Kelly Mount Lara Street More Than Just a Pretty Face Although the varsity cheerleaders have many jobs as school representatives, the most important is promoting school spirit. This is accomplished in many ways, such as hanging signs in the halls of the school, the gym, and along the fence that surrounds the football field; leading the students in cheers at the pep rallies and at the games; and attending camps and competitions throughout the course of the year. One camp that the varsity cheerleaders at- tended was at Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina. There, they won the Grand Champion Trophy, the Dance Routine Award, and the Congeniality Award for friendliest squad. Kelley Pettus, Heather Warren, Lisa Brock, Kendra Morgan, Dawn White, and Tra- cy Payne were nominated for the International Cheefleading Foundation staff. These six seni- ors and a junior, Kelly Mount, were recog- nized to compete for All-American Cheerlead- er at national competition. The cheerleaders next competed at Nationals in Nashville, Tennessee, from December 28-30. The squad placed 5th runner-up in the large varsity division, won the award for Most Spirited Squad, and had two cheerleaders, Kendra Morgan and Heather Warren, place in the top 45 in- dividual cheerleaders for All-American Cheerleader. The cheerleaders played a vital role in keeping each sport's players fired up, and the students' spirits soaring as high as the athletes themselves. With their skill and dedication they proved to be one of the best squads Saks has ever had, and the girls that return next year will carry on a Grand Champion tradition. 1 — 1987-88 Varsity Cheerleaders. 2 — Pro- moting school spirit is one of the many jobs the cheerleaders perform.

VcVKUUf AWESOME, high-spirited, but most of all, WINNERS, would only begin to describe our Football team this year. With the hard work and dedication of all, the regular season ended with a 9- 1 record. The season concluded in the first round of the 5A state championships with a loss to Gardendale. The pace for the season was set by dominating Weaver 43-20 in the opener. The defeat that came from Etowah the following week would not damp- en the Spirit of the Cats, as proven throughout the rest of the season. Their next test would come from Alexandria, when this five year undefeated rival fell to an unmerciful defense in overtime. During the Oxford game, the defense forced six tum-overs and paved the way for the offensive drives resulting in 14 points and a win. The climax of the year came with the defeat of Wellborn in a shut-out game for the Area 12, 5A Championship. The offense this year gained a total of 3,098 yards while the defense only gave up 2,073. Both the offense and defense had a year worth repeating. Saks had 7 players to make the All-County team: David Shirley, Jeff Powell, Donald Paige, Joe Jones, Jason Swann, Johnny Carr, and Eric King. Jeff Powell also made the All-State team while Joe Jones made honorable mention. The team is to be com- mended for a year that not only broke the losing streak, but set a great example for a winning tra- dition. 1987 Season SHS OPP. 43 Weaver 20 6 Etowah 14 32 Anniston 31 21 Piedmont 0 20 Alexandria 14 47 Glencoe 8 21 Talladega 14 14 Oxford 3 28 Jacksonville 7 10 Wellborn 0 7 Gardendale 17 88 1 — In an important area game, Eric King dodges the grasping hands of a Jacksonville defensive lineman. 2 — 1987-1988 Varsity Football Team. 3 — Jeff Powell makes a soaring First down play in the opener against Weaver. 4 — Joe Jones fights for a First down as Jason Swann and Johnny Carr look on.

Long hours of hard work, often under a hot sun, and the unrelenting demands of a new coaching staff proved to be too much for some. But the dedicated ath- letes who labored under Coach Davis and Company emerged as the number one team in tne county. Several games were decided by the participation of the B-team football play- ers. Many hours were spent learning tne offense and defense of that week's op- ponent in an attempt to ready the Varsity team for the Friday night game. In one such case, the Jr. Varsity team helped prepare the Wildcat defenders by work- ing to perfect the Notre Dame Box, an intricate offensive attack used exclusive- ly by the Wellborn Panthers. In the Area Championship game the week-long preparations paid off — the defense al- lowed no points to be scored while the offense's well-timed executions put 10 points on the board. There were more ways in which the Jr. Varsity members lived up to their Varsity counterparts. Their participation on kick- offs ana other special teams played vital roles in the defeat of unsuspecting ad- versaries. And there were times when their patience and support was reward- ed, and the B-team stepped in and held off the rival for a victory. Their own season showed promise for next year's Varsity schedule. Although many of their games were cancelled for various reasons, the B-team proved wor- thy of their Wildcat status with victories over Jacksonville and Piedmont. The of- fense was led by Dion Williams who was aided with the efforts of receiver Shan- non Robertson and running backs Mike Howell and Kevin Crider. The defensive depth was the result of Andy Carlisle, Anthony Ellison, Billy Cole, Chad Cot- ton, ana Jason Wergin. Each Jr. Varsity player contributed to the program witn his time and talents, and next year's Var- sity team is anticipated by all. 1 — Running drills, such as this, helped to make the offense an effective scoring force against un- suspecting opponents. 2 — On the sidelines Chad Cotton prepares to return to the field, while Tyler Green, Chris Crunch Adams, and Shannon Rob- ertson watch the Wildcats ramble to a Homecom- ing victory against Glencoe. 3 — Coach Cooper waits anxiously for the penalty call. 4 — Although unable to play, Jason Hill is on hand to lend sup- port to his teammates. 5 — Bruce Snider receives last minute instructions from Coach Davis before he joins in the shut-out against Piedmont. 6 — Mike Howell and Bruce Snider discuss defensive tactics with Coach Davis during the Area Cham- pionship game against Wellborn. 92 JR.

This year the Varsity Basketball players had a drummer in the roaring, hand-clapping, foot-stomping rhythm of the Animal House, the stu- dent section which appeared at every game to cheer the Wildcats on to vic- tory. The combination of the players' talent and this crowd support, helped to make Saks one of the best programs in the country. Under the guiding hands of Head Coach Ricky Casey and Assistant Coach Randy Law, the Varsity Basketball team accomplished more than any other Wildcat basketball team in recent years. They started off with a loss to Butler, then quickly rolled off five consecutive victories to set the pace for their 17-10 season. During the course of the season, the Wildcats won the Thanksgiving Tournament by defeating Oxford in double-overtime 76-75, placed second in the County Tournament, and won the Area 12 5A Championship, stealing it away from the hungry Oxford Yellow Jackets. Saks next defeated Pell City in the-first round of the sub-state playoffs, then lost to eventual State runner-up, Woodlawn, by one point, thus ending a spectacular season. Four seniors received special recog- nition for their outstanding plays. David Ramey, who led the Wildcats in scoring with an average of 19.1 points per game, was named to the All-County team, the All-Area team, and M.V.P. of the Area Tournament. Tommy Carter, the tall in- side man who averaged 16.6 points per game, was also named to the All- County and All-Area teams. Eric Moten was awarded Best Defensive Player of the County Tournament and had an av- erage of 11.1 points per game.

Although the crowds aren't large, they're enthusiastic, and with the spectators behind them the J.V. team rolled out nine victories. It took several games for the b-team to establish a rhythm but when they settled into stride they became a force to be reckoned with. As a result of this they lost only two of their final nine games, and these by a narrow margin, finishing their season with a winning record of 9-8. Andy Carlisle was the team's leading scorer with an average of just under 18 points per game and a game-high of 30 points. The highlight of his season came when he replaced an injured player on the varsity team for several games. Other key players on the Junior Varsity team included Marcus Kirkland, Mike Howell, Jason Hill, and Bruce Snider, who each proved worthy of his starting status. And every J.V. member contributed a great amount of his time and effort in order to make the season the success it was and each was instrumental in the many victories the b-team enjoyed. 1 — As Jason Hill looks on, a wide open Andy Carlisle effortlessly makes a lay- up. 2 — Bruce Snider and Andy Carlisle put pressure on the struggling Cubs. 3 — George Watson overpowers his opponent as he goes up for the shot. 4 — Bruce Snider attempts to recover a loose ball. 5 — Dion Williams slides past his man as Andy Carlisle awaits the pass. 6 — In an important game, Marcus Kirkland leaps to add another two points to the Wildcat scoreboard. 1987-88 Season SHS OPP 17 Butler 42 50 Oxford 70 43 Jacksonville 33 48 Weaver 36 74 Wellborn 95 47 Anniston 85 71 Gadsden 82 36 Anniston 47 46 Wellborn 37 59 Jacksonville 46 42 Oxford 47 65 Glencoe 55 50 Alexandria 47 34 Gadsden 47 52 Glencoe 38 64 Alexandria 53 64 Weaver 58 VARSITY TEAM IR Blake Hamm Shannon Robertson Bruce Snider Marcus Kirkland Dion Williams Tom Watson Andy Carlisle Jason Hill Stanford Williams Mike Howell Brent Jackson I (h.

Although they had a dis- appointing season, each team members gained val- uable training and experience which will help each become a successful jr. varsity player. Though the scoreboard does not reflect it, the junior high bas- ketball team was a success as a result of all the hard work the members put into practice and their un- daunted efforts they gave during each game. The Jr. high basketball team may not be champions or winners by the scores of this season's games, but they are victors in that they gained a new ex- perience and exhibited sportsmanship. 1 — Joel Houston gives it that extra oof in order to overcome a block by a Piedmont rival. 2 — Joel does some quick dribbling and maneuvers to try and get past an opponent in a game against Piedmont. 3 — Saks Wildcat Greg Smith and a Piedmont player clash sides as Piedmont attempts to block Greg's throw for the hoop. 4 — Kovin Kidd and Jeff Moore stand ready as Greg Smith prepares to throw the basketball to a fellow Wildcat.

In actuality, however, the chief purpose is the recognition of exceptional scholastic effort and excellence. Its members generally devote so much time and energy to academic pursuits that they have little resources left for extracurricular activities. Belonging to the National Honor So- ciety gives its members a sense of success and a feeling of achievement that is more tangible than faculty approval or a number on a transcript. This feeling of accomplishment is justly earned. The requirements for induction are ex- tremely tough. Each inductee must have a 93 overall academic average as well as meeting high standards of leadership, character, and service to their school. Although the National Honor Society does not always fit the mold of a service organization, it performs a valuable service. In offering recog- nition and honor for academic achievement, it provides incentive for students who would oth- erwise coast through school. By rewarding those hours of quiet effort offstage, it lets students know their dedication is noticed and values. 2 1 — Members of the Jr. Honor Society induct new members in a special assembly. 2 — 1987- 88 Junior Honor Society: back — A.

Three of the teams placed first in their categories and there were several individual winners. The Consumer Math team placed first in their division, while the 3rd place individual winner was Keith Slaton. The Algebra I, 8th grade, and 9th grade teams did not win any formal awards, but their hard work and dedication made them all winners. The Geometry team swept their category. The team placed first in the county, and all three of the individual awards were earned by Saks team members. Tom Moore took first place, Hyo Taek Bang won second, and Michael Conway took third. The Algebra II team did well also. They placed second in the county. The Math IV team garnered another sweep, taking first in the county as well as all three individual awards. Vincent Moore was the first place winner, Cindy Zielinski placed second, and Mark Laudenslager took third. The Math Tournament consists of two sections. The first is a written test which is taken by every team member. These are used to determine individual winners. The second activity, ciphering, is a measure of skill and speed. A maximum of four members from each team compete to see who can get the correct answer in the least amount of time. The written test scores as well as the ciphering scores are utilized in awarding team prizes. 8th GRADE — Melanie Rainwater, Sarah Engle, LaTreasha Thompson, Julie Tolbert, Teresa Cox. 9th GRADE — Lisa Hulsey, Wanda O'Neal, Tonya Miller, Mandy Surrett.

The important thing to remember about the Scholarship's Bowl Team is that it is a team, not a club. It is like any other team in that success is de- termined by its members' abilities to both function as a unit and act on personal initiative. Individual players buzz in to an- swer ten point questions called toss- ups. The object there is a speed. Not only must the player beat the five second time limit, he must also buzz in before the other team does. When a toss-up is answered cor- rectly, the team whose player offered the answer has a chance at a bonus, usually worth twenty points. Although this is a team effort and the team members may confer, the final responsbility lies with the captain. The captain must give the answer or appoint a team member to do so. Usually, the answer is given by the captain. This can sometimes be dan- gerous if the captain's best judge- ment fails to conceive with a player's opinion. Especially if the player turned out to be right and the captain wrong. Saks' team this year rarely had this difficulty. Team captain Vincent Moore was careful to ask the entire team for suggestions before giving his answer, generally the correct one. Vincent, along with Julie Hodgins, was selected for the All-County Scholar's Bowl Team. The selection was based on individual scores; Vin- cent was second in the county at 230, Julie was third in the county at 220. 1988 was an exceptional year for several reasons. Not only were two members of the Saks team honored by being selected for the All-County team, but the team finished second in the county with only Pleasant Valley winning more games. It was also an exciting year for all Scholar's Bowl teams due to the games becoming a weekly show on the local CBS af- filiate. 1 — Teammates Julie Hodgins and Barbara Gibson confer on a bonus question after an- swering the toss-up question correctly. Bonus questions are the only questions where team members may consult one another. 2 — The 1988 Scholar's Bowl members — FRONT ROW — Terri Echols, Julie Hodgins, Tracy Johnson, Kristie Warren, Barbara Gibson, Katrina Allen, Mrs. Brown — sponsor. BACK ROW — An- drew Hodgins, Vincent Moore, Charles Forster, Mike Rinker, Cindy Zielinski, Tom Moore. 3 — Players must listen intently to each question in order to answer them correctly and be the first to buzz in. Charles Forster, Barbara Gibson, and Vincent Moore often found that the bright lights and heat of the studio could be a dis- traction. 112 4 — The county-wide Scholar's Bowl Tour- nament received a professional look this year. The Jacksonville State University Communi- cation Department built a special set especially for the weekly tapings. 5 — The most intense competition of the season was the weekly tap- ing of county-wide matches for television. Vin- cent Moore and Kristie Warren worked quickly to solve bonus problems within the 20 seconds allowed. 6 — For the second year in a row, Saks had two members on the All-county team, and was the only school to accomplish this feat. This year's team members were Julie Hodgins and Vincent Moore. 113 Civitan Good Citizen Jr. High — Amanda Swader Shane Wilson Sr. High — Ashley Kelly Johnny Carr DAR Good Citizen — Cindy Zielinski 1 Dare You Award — Barbara Gibson Eric King Special Achievement — Tammy Craft Justin Brown VFW Speech Contest — 2nd Place — Katrina Gidley 3rd Place — Lindsay Hooper Boys' State — Girls' State — Andy Carlisle Joel Rousey Stacey Norton National Youth Science Camp — Clayton Cory Vocational Award — Lee Bearden, Oustanding in Basic Electricity Scholar Athlete Award — Julie Campbell Eric King 1 — Amanda Swader and Shane Wil- son received the Junior High Civitan Good Citizen Award.

Deciding this major step is very dif- ficult and time consuming. Each college offers different courses, activities, and re- quirements. Once this decision is made, the student must figure out how to pay for college. Through work-study? Will the par- ents pay for it? Summer job earnings? It is at this point that scholarships come in. Scnolarships come in many varied shapes and sizes. Some pay for tuition, some pay part of tuition, some pay all costs, and a few even pay costs plus spending money. The quest for these scholarships begins early. When students enter the ninth grade, they begin to work hard for a high GPA and, hopefully, high ACT and SAT scores. It is these factors plus course load that often determines whether or not a stu- dent will receive a scholarship. Often other factors are involved, such as athletic ability for an athletic scholarship or talent for a music scholarship. When the senior year arrives, it is time to fill out the many applications and forms, send them in, and anxiously await a de- cision. Often the letter begins The fresh- man class at______college is excellent this year. We have many students who are de- serving of a scholarship but, regretfully we cannot award one to each of them. Your accomplishments are outstanding, but we regret to inform you ... . Any senior who has applied for several scholarships knows the feeling of reading this letter and won- dering what they did wrong. Was my essay too snort? too long? Did I not make high enough grades? But sometimes the letter begins It is our pleasure to inform you ..This type of letter was sent to many students at Saks High School this year. Some stu- dents even received several of them. This ear the senior class received over 500,000 in scholarships. The largest one of these was awarded to Vincent Moore who received an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. His scholarship was worth approximate- ly $188,000 over a four-year period. Oth- er students also received! four-year schol- arships to other institutions. Clayton Cory received the Blount Scholarship to Auburn University. Tracy Payne re- ceived a four-year scholarship to Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. Lindsay Hooper, Katrina Gidley, Michael Rinker.and Julie Hodgins were all named Faculty Scholars at JSU. Other scholarship recipients included: Jeff Powell, Tommy Carter, and Eric King for athletic scholarships; Jana Hiclcs, Young Sook Hyun, Amy Cochran, Julee Stevens, and Melissa Frady for music scholarships; Heidi Bradley, Susan Starnes, and Karen Cren- shaw for technical scholarships. Vincent Moore was also named a National Merit Scholar, one of the most prestigious awards available to a senior. The process of obtaining a scholarship is often long and difficult. At times it is also one of the most discouraging tasks imaginable. But the reward can be worth the effort. Susan Starnes received a business schol- Tracy Payne was the proud recipient of a 4-year scholarship to arship from New World College and Karen Berea College in Kentucky. Crenshaw received a business scholarship from Ayers State Technical College. Clayton Cory received the $5,000 per year Blount Scholarship to Aubum University and was also offered a scholarship to Troy State. Cyndi Donovan received two academic scholar- ships from Judson College. Barbara Gibson received two scholarships from the University of Okla- homa: A University Scholar and a Clarence Karcher Scholarship. She also received the Hoffman and Wal-Mart Scholarships. A National Merit Scholarship of $2,000 was awarded to Vincent Moore for his outstanding PSAT scores. He also received the honor of an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Other scholarship recipients — Michael Rinker, Katrina Gidley, Julie Hodgins (Faculty Scholars to JSU); Scott Brown; Lindsay Hooper (JSU Faculty Scholar); Cyndi Donovan; Clayton Cory; Barbara Gibson; Cindy Zielinski (Robert Byrd, Auburn Alumni, Officer's Wives' Club Scholarships).

Zigler Principal Retires after 18 Years of Service After 18 years of serving as principal of Saks High School, Mr. Howard Thomas retired at the end of the 1987-88 school year. He graduated from Munford High School and obtained his B.S. and Master's degrees from Jacksonville State Uni- versity. He later earned his AA degree from Auburn Uni- versity. He went into education because he likes being around young people, and believes that contact with youth has kept him young over the years. Mr. Thomas enjoyed teaching more than his present job, but administration positions have certain ad- vantages — such as higher pay. Not that he does not enjoy administration, particularly in his present capacity and location. He has enjoyed his years at Saks High, he says he feels the school has made progress recently, notably, more challenging courses are being offered and the students are developing pride in their school. Besides fishing and looking “for something, Mr. Thomas has no definite plans following his retirement. Wherever he goes and whatever he does, our good wishes go with him. 127 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS — Der- ek Gregg — Treasurer, Cindy Zie- linski — Secretary, David Ramey — Vice President, Scott Brown — Pres- ident.

Here At Last! The day all seniors had waited for finally arrived on June 3, 1988. The com- mencement exercises for the class of '88 were held in the new gym. The grad- uating seniors were led in by Stacey Nor- ton and Hyo Hyok Bang, honor students from the junior class, followed by val- edictorian Cindy Zielinski, and saluta- torian Vincent Moore. Both Cindy and Vincent gave inspiring speeches to the class and the audience filled with par- ents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, and friends. After the speeches, the out- standing graduate award was given by Dr. Winn. This award was proudly presented to Clayton Cory, the 1987-88 Student Council President.

For different people, the day meant diffH things. In the case of the seniors, June 3 was graduation night; a time to reflect on their past vears while looking to the future and their adult lives For the other students, they would have to return in the fall, but a few months of reprieve was better than none at all. In the teacher's case, it meant three months of peace and quiet rather than facing 150 students each day. We had made it through a year of monumental change and had come through with flying colors. As editor, I would like to dedicate this yearbook to each and every person involved in our production of Change of Face.” I hope the memories last forever, 224
