Although anything you learn W111 benefit you the rest of your life, some of these classes could very well be your life, such as building trades Which could lead you on to the road of construc- tion, or shop, Which could lead into many different ategories such as gas engines, 61 engines, and yes, even W 'w; , 'WW, ; ,, Above: Dan Host, Janet Duncan, Kathy Wise and Elaine Marshall, 311 87, work hard to finish their Geometry homework for the day.

SHS meets this need by offering Build- ing Trades and Health Occupations and an opportunity to attend Hillyards Technical School. According to Hillyardis student Reed Bradley i85, iiI plan to work first and make some money and then go to a welding school. If I had to describe welding class at Hillyardsi in one sentence, it would be to learn the principles and safety of on-the-job welding? iiHillyards prepares you for job safety and how to build and engineer small projects, stated Todd Tiedemann i85. iiWith all of the houses being built, carpenters are now working 8 VVocational morefi stated Fred Woodruff ,85. iiWe learn everything about build- ing a house except, laying vertical concrete and other complex tech- niques. . i Mike Leslie 85 stated iibeing a part of the group of students who build a house is really a great feeling.

Mathematics. Two down - a seven letter word which begins with an is and has the clue of tta branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically ar- ranged and showing the operation of general laws? Of course, science. As we continue this crossword puzzle, we come to a nine letter word that both one across and two down utilize. What is a nine letter word which both mathematics and science put to use? Weive got it! Computers. Believe it or not, computers may be used and are being used in the fields of mathematics and science. Savannah High uses com- puters in these departments in certain advanced classes. According to Mr. Tom Lewis, head of the math department, a computer is tla tool that allows people to organize and utilize information quicker. Some of us may wonder why the computer classes, Introduction to Computers and Advanced Com- , puters, are considered math classes. Lewis replied, tlThey probably shouldnt be, but there is no other department to put them inf Most students enjoy the com- puter classes, according to Lewis. itThey mainly don,t know what to expect before they get to the class? Daren Throckmorton i86 en- rolled in Introduction to Computers to learn the basic fundamentalsll of a computer. Paula Bevirt 87 took Introduc- tion to Computers itbecause I wanted to learn how to run a computer? Since shels been in the class, Bevirt has ltlearned how to operate, the parts of a computer and how those parts workf, Another region which uses computers is the science depart- ment. According to Mrs. Julie Adams, head of the science depart- ment, the science classes have been using computers for ltthree years, but we got the department com- puter last year? Adams commented that com- puters began to be used for science Chris Dawson classes timainly because of the science and investigation class? She went on to say, the research paper tfor the science and inves- tigation classi is required to be written on the computer. They tthe studentsl have to know how to use the computer? Lora Trapp ,85 stated, using a computer for Inquiries ttis nice. You can correct errors before you print - itis faster! , According to Adams, the students enjoy working with com- puters. liThe younger ones would like to use it more. In the introductory classes, the computer is used as a type of reward system. If they get finished with the book, they have a lesson on computers? As we end this crossword puzzle, we come to a nine letter word which begins with an tteii and is the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge and of developing the powers of reasoning and judgment. Education - that ttstuff we acquire when we enroll in classes like those in the math and science departments. - Hazel Noble Matthcience J11 86 and Mike Todd examine a microscopic organism while Mrs. Julie Adams observes during Biology.

According to Mr. Bill Luce, chairman of the Social Studies department, the Carnegie Listening Experience tCLEl, experimental eXercises used by the Social Studies department, will help the students with their listening and learning skills. Mr. Craig Hill, Social Studies teacher, stated that the new pro- gram tCLEl will help the Social Studies department in many areas. ttThe new program will give Mr. Bill Burns, Librarian, helps Jeff Majerus l88 with his English assignment. new ideas to the teachers to make. their classes more interesting? commented Miss Debe Barnhart, Social Studies teacher. Hill plans to use cassette tapes to help him improve the programs and his classes. The English and Social Studies departments at Savannah will try to improve the skills of the students and teachers, but it will take a lot of hard work to make these programs successful. ; Cindy Fun- - derburg while Sherri Wilson 87 observes.

According to Mrs. Darlene Shelton, chairperson of the business department, the business classes serve two purposes. ttThey have a personal use as well as vocational. Vocational means you can use it to get a job - training a student so they are qualified to work in an office, stated Shelton. llOn the personal level, it gives you skills to keep track of personal affairs such as taxes?

' According to Kelly Lock ,86, llThe Home Ec classes have taught me how to distinguish between certain cooking instruments. I also learned how to do some sewing. This will definitely help me when I get married and have children? Two other departments that offer a wide variety of classes for the students are the Art and Shop departments. According to Mrs. Laura Beat- tie, Art instructor, ttArt involves a basic overview of the use of artistic materials and the study of design as it applies to art of the past and present? Michelle Morgan ,86 stated that the art classes will help itonly if youlre planning on going into the art, field? , Mr. Bill Meyers, Drafting teacher, stated that the students flobviously feel the classes are important they wouldnlt be taking them in the first place. Besides, they have to learn it sometime? C Logan Walker ,86 commented that these classes will help him in illearning a skill to get a job in the future. These four departments, with the wide variety of classes that they have to offer, will help the students in their future by both preparing them for a job in the working world and also for their own home life. - Kelly Limle Angela Schottell l87 and Audrey Wolfing '85 glue down pictures of the latest fashions in Home Economics.

All classes have a specific purpose. SOme are designed for beginners, while others are a continuance of knowledge already acquired. Driveris Education, Physical Education, Health and Weight Lifting are a few classes at SHS which help students to protect and better themselves for the present and future. According to Miss Debbie Wenzel, Driveris Education teacher, ttDriveris Education is designed to give the students an outlook on rules and regulations of the high- ways. It teaches them proper care of the car, how to drive a car and how to handle the automobile around obstacles and during emer- genciesfl Bruce Lundy 87 stated, that itDriverls Education at SHS will help you learn about the car, insurance and safety. Wenzel is also a Health teacher at SHS. The main objective of 16 x Electives Health class is ttto get the student started on a life long program of good hygiene and healthiness, to make them aware of their physical being and also to be aware of health factOrs and dangers? Allan Barr l87 commented that health education will help him learn about safety, basic skills and the right kind of ,foods to eat. Another Class somewhat relat- ed to health is Physical Education. According to Mrs. Linda Olden- burger, the objective of Girls P.E. tiis to give the girls a basic background in sports and get them physically fit. It also teaches them how to increase their physical activities and how to get along with others in a team situation? Gymnastics, also taught by Oldenburger, ttgives students an opportunity to become more aware of their fitness and strength. The class also helps students after graduation because they can contin- ue to develop, build and tone their bodies. J . Mr. Larry Sommer, Boyst Physical Education teacher, stated, ttP.E. and Weight Lifting are designed to build physiCal :power, mental power and help the Student in making personal adjustment to social activities. The two classes also help the students stay in sports and fitness activities after they graduate. According to Jason Hurst 87, Physical Education iishows me a lot about skills, sports and the back- ground history of Physical Educa- tionP Basic classes - Math, Science, English and Social Studies - are essential to an education program.

The day was cloudy, and the ground was wet and muddy, but the students and sponsors who had worked hard all week weren,t discouraged. Excitement flowed as fans gathered along the parade route to watch the parade. Charla Wamsley ,86 said of the parade, ttI thought it was too short, but I liked the floats? Weeks of planning and long hours of hard work culminated in an outstanding i84 Homecoming parade with the Junior class, winning the float competition. Gaylen Heckman ,86 stated, tiWe had fun when we worked, but we knew what had to be done? After the parade, the floats were dissembled and everyone prepared for the game. The Savages played football to the best of their abilities, but Trenton managed to slip by. Despite losing the game, this homecoming was truly a Mark Above the Rest! The excitement and spirit could still be felt at the dance as the students rocked and rolled to the music of MESA.

We,ve had a lot of fun planning and decorating. Lane Parks l86 thought Hthis yearls prom was a big success? On this point, Stacey Strasser 86 agreed. ttI think prom was a success because everything had been well planned out, and it seemed like so many people attended? As May 4 drew nearer, planning became very serious work. Nights and weekends were reserved for making decorations, reserving the band and the room, electing the prom servers and getting the food planned. Having a helpful team of faculty sponsors made the job much easier for the students. Miss Linda Whit- ford, Mrs. Teresa Kent, Mr. Tom Lewis and Miss Dixie Landers all pitched in to make the prom that much better. Juniors werenlt the only people who did any planning. Everyone who went to the prom had to make several decisions. Each boy had to place orders for renting a tuxedo, make reservations for dinner and order the perfect corsage or nosegay. His date had to decide on an approbriate'dress and order a boutonniere. There was just one last decision to be made - To go to A.P.E. or not to go? After Prom Extravaganza made this year's prom different from all the other Savannah proms. According to Whitford, ttSome parents of juniors and seniors at SHS got together and sponsored A.P.E. at MWSCX, According to Kent, ttThe purpose of A.P.E. was to give students somewhere to go after prom. All in all, this prom added up to a good bit of money, but it all proved to be worth the price when prom goers stepped through the pearly gates at Ramada Inn and spent a night in HEAVEN!! - Amy Schwich- tenberg Class 0f 85 exchanges roles May - the month that brings a lot of fun activities for students, especially seniors, in which to participate. Such activities include Grad night, Prom and parties. But, probably, the most special is the day when the life of a senior takes on a new phase and changes - the day of graduation. On May 19 at 2 p.m., the graduating seniors walked down to perform their pomp and circum- stances ceremony. Many tears, secrets, hopes, dreams, ambitions and laughs were all bundled inside of each and every smiling face. According to Mr. R. C. Ramsey, principal, 167 proud students turned in their caps and gowns along with their occupation as a high school student in exchange for their future lifetime occupations. Elizabeth Freudenthal, senior speaker, talked on the subject of tiThe Times of Our Lives, while Mr. Mark Mayfield addressed the seniors with a speech entitled, iiDo You Thinkiw Ramsey went on to say that the class of 185 his a strong academic class and has ability to think. Mrs. Martha E. Clark and Mrs. Virginia Crouse, Board of Educa- tion members, presented the din plomas to the seniors as they walked down to receive that piece of work they slaved 12 years for.

As with everytseason, this year had both high and low points. According to Hill, iiThe biggest thing that happened was the Benton game. He lconsidered this game both the high and low point of the season. ttW'e were ahead; they tied us. We waited about two more minutes, and they made it to the ten yard line. That was the critical point. We held them and tied the game. This year the freshmen football done that before? commented Hill. itThe kids found out that they could do something; they realized that they werenit quittersfl com- mented Hill. Hill stated that another goal was to itgain confidence in them- selves. Losing a game is like flunking a test. You need to pass a test, in this case, win a game, to get the feeling of success?

Well, you can add to that list the 84 Savannah Savage Cross Country squad. According to coach Mr. Brent Ruiz, the runners captured the Midland Empire Conference crown at the annual meet held at Savan- nah Oct. 16. iiLast year, the team finished fourth, and I didnt expect us to win this season, admitted Ruiz. The Savages won the title- clinching race with a team score of 58, despite the fact that they tied Lafayette with 58 points.

Lafayette,s Anne Stephen- pohl finished first in the girls, division with a time of 21:46. Savannah,s top finisher was Lisa Lance ,87; her time was 24:52. iiOne factor that enabled us to win, stated Ruiz, was that many kids competed in road races over the summer, and that gave the freshmen added experience, and that experience showed later on in the season. We don,t have a lot of people used to defeat; they believed in a lot of things that I told them to do. It was great to see the team get the MEC championship. I think the kids are looking to be four-year MEC champs. We cant help but to be better next year?

The rain imposed an unstopp- able element that each runner had to battle. Sprague had to battle one extra problem, the loss of a shoe. itWhenever my shoe fell off, I really panicked? stated Sprague. iiMy first thought was to get that shoe back on? Bales thinks that Cross Country is underrated in the public sportsi spotlight. tiMost people, save for a few runners, dont know how much work Cross Country is, its a difficult sport to cover because the action is all over? 21 believe our main element in winning the MEC championship was the miles that we put in, we worked hard by running this summerfi added Freudenthal. iiSince I was just on the junior varsity squad, I did not get too excited about winning MECX, stated Stoeptghoff. 21 am happy for the varsity squad? 21 will try to run during winter in preparing for next season, and I will try to go into summericondi- tioning? stated Sprague. ilWe put out the warning flag that weire the team to beat in the MEC.

According to Varsity Coach Mrs. Julie Adams, ttThe girls used to play six on six, three on offense and three on defense. Now we play by the same rules as the guys do, which is five on fiveW Basketball is tta game which gives the girls the opportunity to learn a sport, how to get along with their teammates and how to accept winning and defeat graciously? stated Adams. According to Adams, the girls put in 10 hours a week from the start of the season to the end of it. Adams commented that during these practices, the players prac- ticed ttthe basic fundamentals - handling, shooting, etc The season met expectations, according to Adams. ttWe,Ve gone farther than any team tat SHSi in ball 7, post season play We re one of the top 16 teams in the state tclass 3A divisioni.

According to Mr. Bill Meyers, coach, basketball is tta game invented by Naismith to have something to do between the outdoor sports of football and baseball? Meyers elaborated by saying basketball is tta team- oriented sport? ttPractices started at 2:45 p.m. and ended at 4:30 p.m.,tt stated Meyers. ttThe practices were divid- ed into two, five and 10 minute segments.

All you need is one point to tie and two to win. You close in on the basket, set up the shot and shoot. The shot misses, but you are awarded two freethrows since you were fouled. You are greatly concentrating on the precise form of shooting while you drown out the cheers from the audience. You make the first but miss the second. This brings an overtime. Overtime wins bring back memor- ies to both the girls, and boys junior varsity squads, according to Miss Debbie Wenzel, girlsi coach, and Mr. Tom O,Brien, boyst coach. O,Brien stated that the most exciting game was with 1tAtchison, because we had a double overtime game, winning it in the last few seconds? Wenzel stated the most exciting game was with ttLafayette in three overtimes. ttI enjoy basketball, and working with younger people? stated OiBrien. ttWith younger people, you see im- provements and see them get better with the work. HExperience and playing time? according to OiBrien, are what help the JV team prepare themselves for the varsity level. Lyle Officer ,87 stated, ttWe had a good team this year. We have all improved a lot. Last year our team never won, but this year we got on a winning streak? uImprovements were made in everything. Everyone on the squad improved in every phase. Their basket- ball ability will help them next year. It was a good season, 9-8 overall. They were very competitive in every game? commented O,Brien.

On the other hand Scott Peek '87 thinks of iigiris. Most people dense just fer the tun of it while others train for many years and build a career of it. Dancing is done in movies end ballets; it's done for physical fitness. Ethnic dancing is done to carry on tradition and culture. So many moods can be captured on the dance floor. We can all look back to the early 1800': through the 1930's when there were the evet-so-tpopular Weltz, Foxtrot end the Quickstep. We can also remember hearing about the 'ewingere' of the thirties. This is when things began to liven up. Just imagine the dance floor full of young teenagers doing the Jttterbug. The boys dressed in their baggy trousers and long jackets, the girls with their full skirts and saddle shoes.

Shelly Decker end Shetly Williams, both '86, sets that the first dame that they ever learned was the Twist.

Lafayette fans are preparing to cheer their team on to victory while on the other side of the gym, a group of fans is yelling and screaming. There is something strange going on on Savannahis side of the gym. Many of the fans are dressed in white. Not just plain white clothes but WHITE TOGAS!!! They are called the Road Trip Crew. The group was started last year by e group of seniors who decided to get wild at away games, said Tim Clerk '85, an official Road Tripper. Screaming, yelling cheering the Save es on is Dnly part of being a can Tripper. Dressing up'is a big facet. iilt makes the night crazier? coma mented Clerk. and ' 7 The members of the Road Trip Crew are trying to get more people to go to away games.

She gave up her title when pornographic pictures of her were published in a weile known magazine. During the short ten months that Williams reigned, she met President Ronald Reagan, was honored by the NAACP, ape peered on the iiLove Boat? marked Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday with Coretta Scott King, and signed hundreds of autographs. it looked as if things were rolling along smoothly. Then one day. Vanessa learned of a rumor voted unanimeusiy to ask Williams, for the first time in the pageants 63eyeer history, to relinquish her crown. Williams asked them to let her think about it for ewhiie after a lawyer toi-d her that there was no part in the pageant rules that stated one ceuidnit pose nude. But, regardless, Wiiliems ebb dieeteci her title. According to Mr. Albert Marks. the Miss America Chairman, the tees of image is expected to cost her $100,000, in advertising work. According to one scientific telephone poll conducted by the Los Angeles Heretd Examiner, 65 percent of the Causes Scandal No, ishe shoutdi net have posed: in the nudist because it corrupted the wholesome image ot Miss Amerioa. Tracy :Kneeht '85 teeis that the executive committee ter the Miss America Pageant asked Williams to give up her crown iibeeause they pttebebiy felt that she sho-uid be a rate model for young girie and posing in Penthouse wasnit a very good role according to the officials.

These are two of the responsibilities of en educa- tor which leads to the question: Are teachers cepabie'i of teach- ing what needs to be taught in classrooms? One method to assure capability Is the use of a competency test. A competency test challenges a person on the basic knowteoge of what the subject is that he or she is teaching. Mike Pray '87 stated, I think the tests should be a law because it'd bring more qualified people to the front. They should have humor, e- personality and still be able to get the point across to youli According to Education Digest, kids don't see the purpose of what they have to learn or the way it's presented. This leads to teachers facing pessive resistance. They say incapable teachers in the classroom are leading to the decline of the Scholastic Aptitude Test tSATt and also the 25 percent decrease in graduating students. iiTeeehers should take this test. We need better teachers. Having a degree doesnt mean you can teach, commented Cindy Schottei '86. An articie in the Education Digest stated that an effective teacher has to be shire to evoke the respect of an assorted group of students. Teachers who are ad- mired for their personality Make the student give an extra effort. Many teachers are kept on the staff because of different reasons, such as: seniority, scarce funds, forced reductions in staff and ooliective bargaining agreements. The article went on to say that any teachers who are over the age of 40 dont have the technotegicei knowledge. Also, teachers fsiiinlg in their responsibilities shouid be told so, worked with and given the opportunity for improvement. The question is whether teachers shoutd the required te take these tests, what should be contained in them and it it's reeiiy necessary. Miss Debbie Wenzel, Health teacher, stated, tilt you can make it through four years of coiliege education, that sheetd say semethu respondents said Wiiiiams should have kept her crown. Rhonda Gates i85 replied, Mg. seem , Mr. Ron Schmidt, Business teacher, equipped, This compee tency test shouidn't be a law. Doctors and iewyers don't take them so teacher's shouldn't either. SHS teachers are qualified because they take an interest in the students and siso have a variety of degrees in teaching background. According to the digest, the most effective teachers are those peoptie-oriented individuals who inspire their students to love learning and to reach for excei- Ience. Kim Deatherage '85 stated, Teachers should be required to take this test. it shows their intelligence and oouid possibly hetp In the hiring and firing of teachers. They might have s coiiege degree. but the key tto teaohlngt is knowing how to teach students.

A note in the deity announcements the day hetero this election reminded the student body to vote, but gave no expianetton as to the. reasons it was taking piece. The morning before this eioction, it was learned that the Student Ceuncii Constitution, which specifies how these etections are to be done, was overiooked by the peopte who sponsored the evieea tion. We ove'riioolked the Constitu- tiuoh, stated Miss Linda W'hittolrd, weaponsor. Before tin past elec- tionst there were no primaries, and it was overlooked. We made a mistake. In previous elections, only two people or iess appeared in each category for office. This year, the pattern was the same except for the category of male student body president. In this category, there were four candidates running. According to the Constitution of the Savannah High School Student Colunczii, Articie VII Section One, A primary eiection fer student body officers wiIi he heid no later then the second Friday in February to Iimit candidates to two per office. In Section Two it further states, The student body officers of the Savannah High SehooI will be elected by secret beiiot at the General Election, which wiII he hetd: within one week toitowing the Primary eiection. This year's first etection was heid tn the third week of February, and this election decided the winner of the em president, secretary EIDdi treasurer and, oeh-x sequentiy. made peoipte unsure If it was a primary of a gene-rai election. I thought the first election decided the winner for everyone. Wee there a tte between the boy candidates? asked :Eiiien Bates '36. i thought they had a tie, or it was too close to get a winner? remarked Miss Dene Barnhart, American Government teacher. Apparently, the second election was held to get a majority of votes for one mate candidate. There was' no tie. Win Section Four It does state that if there Is no majority, then there is he winner, expiained Whittord, reading from the Consti- tutiun. Now that It has been narrowed to two, there can be a majority, even it It is by one vote. According to the dictionary, 8 maino-rity ie the greater number or the excess of the larger number of votes cast for one candidate. A majority could possibly be further defined as more than heif of the total. Section Four of the Student Counroii Constitution does NOT refer to a majority as more than halt. It specifiuceiiy says, HThe male or female receiving the mvajiolrity of votes In the general eviectieh wiii serve as president of the first semester. The student of the opposite sex with the matority wiii serve as vice president during the auses , iscord same period. The first day of the second semester, the vice pre- sident assumes the position of president and the former president becomes vice president. If someone had gotten a majority. then the previous election wouid have hetd, added Whitfo-rd. However, by definition, the winner of the first election had aireedy received a majority because the Constitution does not speciticeiiy state that a majority is one more than fifty percent. it there wasn't a meiotity or tie, then why weren't all four of them ptaced on the second ballot? asked Mike Welsh '85. We had to have a president by Feta. 25 because the names had be turned into the Missouri Associa- tion of Student Counciie at Coiuma bta, stated Mr. R. C. Ramsey, principal. The immediate solution tto complete the eiection by Tuesday, Feb. 19t was the only way this couid have been done. Ramsey further explained, There was no primary, and this was not announced. That is the mistake. You must have a primary, and you must have a maiovrity. However, the probtem is that a mixture of both a primary and general election format took piece. Not oniy was a week of campaign- ing Which was supposed to be the second week of Februaryt omitted, but the student body was not informed of the mixture before or after the elections. , Many rumors and much confUa etch was the re-suit of this over- sight. - Kevin Bruce Firtifitzii HE. Do you ever sit and wonder about the medical break- throughs that; are still to come? Things that our grandparents and greatagrandperents probes bly never would have ever dreamed possible are suddenly becoming a reality. Take, for instance, the are tificiel heart. Bemey Cletit, a retired dentist, received a meme made heart in Merck, 1983. Clark died 112 days after the implant. Later, e tremepleht wee per: formed on 52 year old William Schraeder, a retired munitions inspector from Jasper, IN. , However, Ricky Keck '86 doeehit think We the right thin to do because people ghoul accept their condition. He also rejected the idea of using a bebeenis heart in Baby Fae. Baby Fee, the first to receive a batman heart, lived for three weeks. She was born premature with a fetal congenital deformia ty known as hypopteettc left heart. The cause is unknown, rte leaving the entire left side of her heart underdeveloped t0 the point of ueeleeeneea. The issue is a controversial one, but Michelle Am BB commented, iiItis a good gesture to try to save Baby Fee? Whether youite for artificial heart transplants or against them, the medical fielcl will probably continue to work on more medical breakthroughs, ones that will hopefully be successful. Sheila Blackwell Off The Mark As the three boys stand taiklhg in one of the boys houses, the phone rings, and one person goes to answer it, leaving the other We alone together. Why don't you show me these pictures? the tell one asks. The shorter one realizes he will have his victim all alone if he can get him upstairs, so he repiles, iiThey are in my room. and begins to climb the stairs. The tall boy, knowing ail along what is happening, pulls out his shiny P. 38 pistol and points it at the shorter oneis beck. Giving a confident grin, the shorter one thinks he is just a few seconds away from eeesssinating his VIC! tim. He looks over his shoutder only to see that his victim is how his assailant. His confidence shat- tered, he screams and tries to drew his gun. but he is too late as the tail boy shoots him in the book and kills him. Before anyone begins to panic, it must be explained that this is merely a gem celled TAG. The guns shoot plastic bullets, and no one is actually kilbd. The game challenges the brain, and it gives people somthihg to do socially besides partying, said David Widel, '85, the Gamemaster of TAG. Things were starting to get boring, so I thought i might try something new. Aooording to Widei, TAG stands for the Tactical Assassination Game. and that the Gememaster iG.M.t is like a referee who controls all. TAG is a popular game at many colleges. Widel is not the original creator of the gems; his rules vary from the original. ' 70 JMini mag The first game ibellng played was mainly done to see if the rules would work. examined Wittet. How is the game played? i'l tiret get all the names at the players and piece them in a hat and draw names to see who will assesihate who. i give each ptayer a oerd with the name of his target on it. A day is given the killing on this drayt to soout opponents. and then the game reele begins, he concluded. it's a challenging game in that you are trying to outsmart your opponent, said Rteherd Miller '85. You have to use some test to get them alone. its like the thrill ot the chase feeling in hunting. only it is even more exciting because your opponent is another humen. The wows double-crossed and trust are both very dsnger- outs in TAG because they can teed to one's early demise. Angie Harrison '65 was as- sassinated eerty in the geme by a 7 i x i one of her olose ttiende, Becky Leemon '65. ' i had heard she didn't have my name. end she pteyed this game of 'pretanding net to have me to the hilt. Then, she shot me. I tell for it so be Harrison added. Paranoia is anethet word that is understood by those who piay TAG. Po! a oouple of days, i teslt reel paranoid because i didnt want to get kitted: added Leasmlon. iii nottoeo who wee wetohing me. I developed a heightened .sware- noes as i looked for potentially dangerous places. It teeehes you to expect the i unexpected heceuee you oan't j trust everyone 10G percent, added Miller. The rules are simple, although the game is complex. Amording to Widel, one can only assassinate his target when there ere no witnesses. A witness is someone who has seen the crime take place. Hiesrlntg a kill does not constitute a wihtees, After one kills the person, he? tekee his or her card, and then must sssassinete the new person. Finally, when one person is left, he or she will be the winner. There are some dissenting points of view about TAG. Some feel that the game is too violent. i'There are two conflicting points of view, said Mrs. Key Cameron, psychology teacher. i'Some psychetogists say that people exposed to violence are more likely to the violent. The opposing point of view is that everyone has a certain amount of anxiety, and when it is released they will be less likely to be violent. t'l tend to support the first argument because i believe people learn by imitating, Cameron added. 'tl think that it is a sick game because you are pretending realis- tically to kill someone, explained Miss Bebe Bernhart, sociology tescher. 'The weapons ere so close to being real that the next step is a device that inflict pain. i think soetety is regressing in that technologically we are improving, but our mental and social abilities have not kept pace.

Physical changes, appear- ance and social habits seem to change suddenly when depres- sion has become a part of an otherwise normal teenagers life. I think that two or three factors are responsible for depression: a very low opinion of themselves or a bad sells esteem. A lot of this is caused by peer pressure and not being accepted by their peers, state ed Mr. Dennis Snyder, guidance counselor. ilDepres- sion that Is so severe can go on until something finally breaks; either a person gets help or they do something more drastic like commit suicide? There are symptoms that one can see, Snyder com- mented, ilsuch as dropping out of things they once were in such as clubs and sports, a sudden change in their pattern, constant absentism and also their physical appearance changes. They are not as conscious about their physical appearance as they once were. After a person admits to being severely depressed, the next step is what to do about it. Well, there is a counselor program where the student can actually take a look at what is causing the depression. He can certainly talk to his own doctor who would refer him on to someone else. There, is the Family Guidance Center, and a place called Life-Long-Learn- ing, added Snyder. Life-Long-Learnlng is a counseling agent that provides family and individual counsel- ing. They deal with problems like chemical use, depression, suicide, child abuse and just all around provides mental help, Mo w; K50 0W ow W 00' v Dream dates.

Both Darren Sherman i85 and Cindy Schottel 136 would also like to travel to California for their dream dates. Like Worley, Sher- man, too, prefers ubig, bed blondels. Christine Schweder '87 would like to travel even farther than California. iiI'cl like to spend time with a really nice guy in the Bahamas, stated Schweder. Nova Boswell $6 is one who wouldnt mind staying closer to home. Boswell's dream date would take place unear a river with a nice scenery. Itld have to be toward the evening on a warm Spring clay. Wherever your dream date may be, whether meat or far, don't stop dreaming. Without dreams we have nothing to work toward. - Kelly Limle Depression Common Among High School Students Snyder explained. 'iSavanneh is a typical community, and It has some depression, but it is no greater than any other community, stated Snyder. Along with severe depres- sions there is always the depression of everyday life. I get depressed when a girl I like doesnt like me, com- mented Rodney Schank '87. l'When I get depressed, I scream and yell; usually a friend gets me out of depres- sion, stated Sheila Reines l86. Patti Nichols '86 commented, When I get depressed, I try and keep myself busy so I forget about being depressed. Depression may or may not touch a part of your life. However, the key to remember is that there are places to seek help. - LaDo-nne Burks Friends. What would school be like Without them?

They may just be an object of dislike, or they could be an extreme annoyance. However, what may seem to be a huge annoyance to some people may not even be a ' slight distraction to others. Some peeves may have formed way back in grade school while others may have just recently popped into existence during your high school days. Studentsi peeves may be seen in the hallways. Kristi Beahler 86 said, tiI hate it when Pm walking down the hall, and people wont get out of my way. Other peeves, still in the school, may appear in the lunch- room. itWhen people chew with their mouths openit, is a pet peeve of Julie Dewey t86.

The average teenageris one dream in life is to finish the week and tlpartyt on the weekends. The obstacle, how- ever, which could stand in the way of the teenager and his or her dream, is the dreaded curfew! Curfews seem to rise from nowhere and strike suddenly. Before the party is really hopping, you suddenly realize that you have to go home. Chani Mathews 87 stated, iiMy curfew is 11:30. I think its an OK time for a sophomore, but the people I hang around with are older, and I always have to go home earlier? Charia Wamsley ,86 had another opinion. Her curfew is 12:30,; and she stated, tiI think it could be later. Pm' 17 years old, and I think that I am old enough to set my own curfew. On the other side there are the ones who dont really have any specific time to be home. Tara Meeks 86 also replied that they tshe and her parentsl set different times. She also added that ttIt is OK with me. It doesnt really matter. Then Comes the teenager who just sort of wanders in. Mark Guy i86 said, ilMy curfew is whenever I get home? , , The next big question about curfew i Todd Holcomb ,86 sneaks 1n the door five minutes after curfew. are whether boys or girls should have ' a ' different curfew times. Meeks added, tiNo! Why should they be treated I differently when they are not different? Thatis old-fashioned; very old- 0 fashioned. , Cheryl Bundy i86 replied, tiIf my brothers and I had the same curfew and we all came home late, I would get punished more. I don,t think that it is ' fair. CURFEWH We all haye them, and, mostly, we all hate them.

Just like ours, they can be fun or just full of work. To Miss Linda Whitford, math teacher, ItI get my work done that I don,t get done during the weekdays. Some weekends I visit my nine nieces and nephews. Mrs. Linda Oldenburger, P.E. teacher, spends her Itspare time doing housework and laundry. Other times I show my dogs.

Va awwmmum Mr. Mark Ruggeberg, assistant principal, talks to a parent concerning a studentis absenteeism. For years and years, thought that all Board of Education members had to do was show up at a meeting once a month, make sure that nothing was getting out of hand in the schools and to keep an eye on school finances. As we get older, we realize the responsibilities that these people take on just to help the students in the district. The School Board is made up of six individuals trying to ensure a school district to better the future of 2,208 students. The responsibili- ties of all school board members are mainly the same. Mrs. Martha Clark, board president, stated, uMy responsibilities as a school board member are to establish those policies, programs and procedures that will best produce the education achievement needed by all students in the Savannah R-III School District and to wisely manage the resources available to the district? Mrs. Virginia Crouse, board member, stated that her respon- sibilities tare to attend all meetings in order to formulate district The administrative secretaries are, seated: Mrs. Bonnie Weber; Standing: Mrs. Illene Cotter and Mrs. Gene Cobb.

Other board members include: Mr. Marion Tritten, Vice president; Mr. Wayne Gunselman, Mr. Wil- liam Jackson and Mr. Garvin Porter. According to Mr. Jack Klotz, superintendent, ttThe board makes the policies and tells the superin- tendent how they want them to be carried out. The superintendent then forces or puts them into operation?

After all programs from the school board pass through the superintendents, they go on to the schools where the principals enforce them. At the high school level, that includes Mr. R. C. Ramsey, prin- cipal, and Mr. Mark Ruggeberg, assistant principal. ltChecking on attendance, see- ing that disciplining is carried out, to be at athletic events and to produce a sports budget are a few of my responsibilities? stated Ruggeberg. Besides fulfilling his admini- strative duties, Ramsey has set some personal goals as assigned by Klotz to all district principals. III want to change my image to a nice guy, by what I do and the way I answer the phone. I donlt know if I have accomplished this, but I think I have changed it some. It could always be improved more? With this information, we may new realize the great importance of a school board and administration.

Have you checked the children? Are they sleeping peacefully in their beds like most normal teenagers would be at this unearthly hour, or is the room empty and the bed cold? The gloomy stillness of the early morning air is disturbed by eight piercing lights. Your curiosity is aroused, and you go closer to investigate. You find four buses slowly filling up with stumbling, pale, blurry-eyed people. Seeing them brought to mind the terrifying zombie stories told to you many years ago by your great- grandmother. These thoughts quickly disap- pear when you notice that everyone is carrying pillows, blankets and enough candy to last for days. Then you hear someone comment, ttThis is CRAZYH Only the band and the Army go places this early in the morningli, That was it! Band Contest! Yould heard about it, but you didnt know they left that early in the morning. These people were really dedicated. They put in hours of hard work and long practices.

That will give me enough time to get organized? It was getting late and buses had to leave for Carrolton so they could get to the contest by 9 a.m. to practice before they were judged. Later that night, the silence was once again broken by four throbbing bus engines. The parking lot of the school was bedlam, and shouts and laughter filled the air. Everyone was excited because that very afternoon they had proven their excellence by taking the first place trophy in street marching. It was late, but the students werenlt tired; they had won and everyone was happy. Soon there was silence once again as everyone went home proud and satisfied with themselves; The bandls hard work had finally paid off. - Amy Schwichtenberg success Wm...- T SMAWAH HIGH SCHOOl MARCHING SAVAGES The SHS Band proudly displays their banner at every parade.
