A creative outlet is provided for Chantz Simmons and Jimmy Brown in Machine Shop. The 1970's has often been referred to as the Me Generation. It was a generation that was desperately searching for a sense of identity and secu- rity. Oftentimes, though, our attempts fell short of what we wanted for our- selves or of what others expected of us. It was a time of searching ourselves, and looking for answers. But more often we were not asking ourselves the right questions. Teachers here in the early 70's can remember a time of conflict between the student body and the faculty and staff. The students had been given many privileges that eventually were abused, then lost. An example of one was a pay telephone in the gym. However, after numerous prank bomb threats which were made by students, the phone was taken out. Other privi- leges were abused in the name of personal freedom and students in the late 70's experienced the tightening of external controls-security guards were hired, students were scheduled for 6 classes a day, and attendance checks were tightened. The emphasis on me brought many problems. During these troubled years we began to search in many directions for something more, and expressed our values in many ways. Some identified closely with school organizations, others found comfort in service clubs, others through athletics. Some even tried to escape the pressures of every- day living by taking refuge in a world of drugs. Whatever the direction, the emphasis was still on Me. Signs of a TURNING POINT are emerging through the class of 1980 that promise a new and brighter future for this new decade. Signs indicate that we are becoming more unified in our sense of respon- sibility to each other. The forces which some way control our lives seem to be pointing in new directions. Though we have become increasingly more responsible to our friends, seeing them on a warm, genuine personal basis, and feeling more a part of our school. We have still maintained a sense of individuality. High school has become more and more a positive experience for us all. Evidence of that is seen in the renewed sense of spirit that domi- nates the school. This reflects the beginning of a genuine desire on the part of the students to take an active role in shaping and molding their high school years. There appears to be a greater sense of motivation among us to excel and succeed in whatever we set out to accomplish. Although this is only the TURNING POINT these signs give hope of better things to come. A new dawning is symbolized by the sunrise over the mountains. A New Day Dawns Testing the effects of climate on seeds occupies Todd Judy and Richard Andro. Serious conversation engages Deborah Hamilton, Sylvia Read, and Cyndi Burleson in Junior Skills. Big-sis-little-sis week tradition is carried on by Wendy Wood. 3 Attitudes Change From Me To Us An interesting thing has happened recently that has been unprecedented within the last few years. Rather than our adhering strictly to an identification with one particular club or organization we have begun to ex- pand our energies and talents in new and creative ways. There is a new feeling that a happy high school ex- perience can come better when we become unified and work together. This year alone, more school dances have been sponsored by such organizations as Pep Club, Student Council, PTSA, and the Athletic Boosters Club. These dances, held after football and basketball games pro- vide a common meeting place for the students where they can dance, talk and enjoy each others friendship, not to mention the celebration of our team's impres- sive athletic records. These dances best symbolize the new feeling of spirit, friendship and participation that has marked the beginning of this new decade. In addition, this year for the first time, students run- ning for Student Government had to compete for the position. In the past, students had only to volunteer for the position and hand in a petition. Along with this increase in school participation, attendance and spirit at ball games has been up considerably over past years. All of these factors indicate a new realization among us that we are members of the school as a whole and must contribute our share to make it an en- joyable part of our lives. A new look for the topper sign is formed by the J.V. cheerleaders as they express their enthusiasm over the toppers success. Boundries of smaller groups are broken down at the pep rallies to make us all part of a larger group. 4 Socializing is sometimes more important than studying in chemistry. Dancing is one way of celebrating yet an- other topper victory. Student Enthusiasm Reflects a New Mood Nowhere can the Turning Point be seen clearer than the spirit generated by athletics. The football team began the year with a new sense of pride and enthusiasm which quickly spread throughout the school. Instead of the usual apathy or even boo's , the Topper teams drew enthusiastic cheers. A standing ovation was given to the football team during the Pep Rallies. Before and after the games, fans flocked to the playing field to express their enthusiasm. Even the community of Johnson City joined in to express the Topper Spirit. For the first time, the Mayor proclaimed our homecoming week as Topper Appreciation Week. A new pride in our school marks the turning point of a new mood, and brings us together as one school. The Topper Suzanne Hay raises spirit during a pep rally. Shouts of Co Toppers , fill the gym, during the D-B pep rally. As we move into the 1980's signs of movement in a new direction are evident. These changes are not necessarily the result of external change, but rather as a result of changes in attitude and feeling among the student body. In keeping with this new mood, the music industry has within the last few years produced a great number of songs that express strong feelings of love, friendship, and emotion. This new style in music marks a break with our past. Rarely can anyone hear a song on the radio that rallies for a social cause or expresses a desire for reform. Such songs were very pre- valent in the late 1960's and early 70's. Changes in the music, television and movie industry are all indicators of the new feelings that prevail not only throughout our school, but also throughout the country. We are a generation that has begun an active pursuit of enjoyment and pleasure. We want to transcend the sounds of every day pressures to simply have a good time and seek refuge in a world of fun. This year more groups spon- sored sock hops at Science Hill than in any other previous year. The movies we see reflect the desire for a good time, rather than con- veying a moral or social message. People and students alike no longer want to go to the movies to see a serious film, but go now for sheer en- joyment. While the emphasis is still very much on me it has shifted somewhat to us and us now means friends and going out to have a good time. Rather than the extreme emphasis of me , there is a growing move- ment toward developing better relationships with others. We are search- ing more for relationships that are warm and caring—friendships that transcend the old boundaries of the narrow groups we once limited our- selves to. This movement can be seen through the music we listen to, the movies we enjoy, the T.V. programs we watch, and even the religious groups we participate in. Slow dancing adds a final touch of romance to an otherwise festive evening. Examining picture proofs spices up homeroom for Harold Ross, Greg Ricker, Steve Reed, Cris Robinson, and Steve Ragan. 8 Student Enthusiasm Reflects A New Mood Dancing provides an evening of fun for Nancy Barrow and Charles Lilly. Closing eyes in anticipation, Jeff Hill prepares to bite off more brownie than he can chew in Food Service Class. 9 10 Senior Toppers have reached a turning point in their lives. We have had a good time here, but we must move on to new experiences in a changing world. Although some of us will go on to college and others will go straight to work, we know the total of our experience together have shaped the direction our lives will take. A new sense of pride and spirit has been created that brings us together as a unified school. We can feel good that our new directions have set the tone for future years. 11 An exciting game helps create a unified spirit. 12 School consists of more than just going to classes and taking tests. The influence that school has on us does not end when the bell rings at 3:00 but carries on to all activities twenty-four hours a day. The interaction with people is one of the most im- portant aspects of our high school life. We are brought together as one school in activities such as: dances, supporting our sports as spectators, musical performances, film making projects, and plays. The attitude of the student body this year is one of change. Our perspectives are slowly moving in new directions. Where these new directions take us de- pends for a large part on how we use the influence of these experiences. Calculating an experiment requires the efforts of Ben Herrin, Brent McClearon, and Clyde Miller. Tearfully, last year's reigning Possum Queen, Kevin Hodge, in- troduces this year's 1979 candidates: Greg Ricker, John Marshall, Andy Laitinen, and Fenton Budd. ( .indutiles: (indy Girdner.

I he evenings festivities began as the parade began moving slowly down Main Street and the nervous expee talions of the c andidates could be felt everywhere. I he early arrival into the stadium caused even more tension because the candidates had to wait another 10 minutes for the announcement of the winner. I inally the climax of the Homecoming Queen Contest came as the winners were announc c d.

Spirit was high as the student body prepared for the weeks festivities. Thanks to the efforts of a very active Pep Club, spon- sor of Homecoming, spirit increased all week. Posters and banners appeared throughout the campus. Enthu- siasm was dampened only by a temporary concern that the arrival of Rosalyn Carter might prevent the Pep Rally or delay the voting for the Queen, time conflicts were solved and the festivities continued. As the student body entered the gym a sense of spirit filled the air, which would continue throughout the weekend. As the band played, the cheerleaders rallied support for the Toppers, reaching an intensity rarely seen at Science Hill. Following the Pep Rally, votes were cast for the 1979 Homecoming Queen. Votes were counted, but the can- didates would have to wait until the night's football game before knowing the results. Smiles of well-wishers, parents and friends lined both sides of the street as the parade began the exciting eve- ning. Cheers for the winners sounded as Mr. Sidney Smallwood, former Superintendent, crowned Tracy Yates as Queen. •— The football game began with spirit on both sides of the field. An exciting but scoreless game continued through three quarters until the Toppers offense pushed in for a touchdown. Rain started to fall, dampening the field and the spectators, but nothing could dampen the spirit. Saturday's festivities continued as the Pep Club deco- rated the cafeteria for our well-earned victory dance. Our great Homecoming was a single effort of the student body to make this an occasion that will be remembered for years to come. During the half-time performance Bobby Ladich assists the band in their salute to the queen. Precision Marching was the ROTC contribution to the Homecoming parade. Cheers filled the stadium as former superintendant Sidney Smallwood placed the coveted crown on Miss Tracy Yates. Defensive Action by the Topper Line gave the team a 7-0 advantage. Decorating the walkways was one of the many ways Michelle George showed her school spirit. Enthusiasm by the cheerleaders during the Homecoming parade helped build Topper Spirit. 17 Wise to the ton-game. Lord Edgard (Ricky Saults) faints after finding Smith) becomes disenchanted. out the truth about the Duke of Mariflores. Surprised to recognize his fellow con-artist, Peterbono (Jim Rogers) No longer attracted to the charms of Hector (Dan Pence), Eva (Missy scolds Gustave (Mark Zadach). 18 Surprised by the Dupont-Duford's (Seth Williams and Ronnie Sutphin), Lord Edgard jumps. Preoccupied with his mustache Peterbono turns away from Lady Hurf (Sara Showman). After tying up Juliet (Renee Soppet) Gustave listens thoughtfully to her pleas. Thieves' Carnival The French Riviera was the setting for Borin's Production of Thieves' Carnival. Both performances were very well received by the audience. The plot of the play centers around three misfit pickpockets who are themselves conned by a bored yet rich Lady Hurf. The head pickpocket, Peterbono, stays at Lady Hurt's villa to enjoy the brandy and cigars. However, his young campanion has fallen in love with a daughter of Lady Hurts and they elope along with the valuables of the house. 19 Events to Remember Sometimes the every day dull school routine can only be broken by something particularly special to look for- ward to, such as planned or unplanned school events. No one receives each event with the same attitude and expectations. Nevertheless everyone welcomes an inter- ruption to the ever depressing daily schedule. Such events range from Ring day to Veteran's day. Two unexpected visits, one by Foxfire's Elliot Wiggington and one by First Lady Rosalyn Carter gave most everyone a chance to see someone they would otherwise probably never get to see. Some events were scheduled for just a certain group, like the German Club's annual Weih- nachtsfest. Though no one can please all of the people all of the time-most of the people are pleased most of the time. Discussing the hehind-the-scenes of writing is the author of Foxfire, Eliot Wiggington. First in line, junior Robin Johnson receives her class ring. First Lady Rosalyn Carter speaks at City Hall. 20 Christmas season gives the English Literature class a chance to dress as their favorite English Literature character, and to sample Old English recipes. Speaking on Veteran's Day gives Major Beach a chance to communicate with students. While watching intentively everyone experiences the meaning of Veteran's Day. The German Club dancers perform at their annual Weihnachtsfest. 21 Lunchtime ... What is the most awaited part of any school day Lunch—of course. One may choose to eat in the cafeteria, or if one is willing to risk being caught by Mr. Brewer, you can go to McDonalds or Wendy's. At the beginning of school year, the School Board decided to remove the coke machines and the snack bar, which sold cookies and cakes. Almost immediately the lunch lines became crowded. Students were forced to drink tea, fruit drinks and Kool-aide. In reaction to the changes there was an increase of going out to lunch . Lunch gives one a chance to catch up on all the gossip, exchange ideas with friends, think about the events of the day and even cram in some extra studying before a big test. Others enjoy lunchtime because it pro- vides a chance for character study. When one is not watching, it is fun to try to deter- mine personalities by watching someone eat. The fast eaters, the slow chewers, or the picky eaters all reflect a phase of their personality. Lunchtime is an interesting part of the day that most students look forward to. Not even the munches, relieves Denise Anderson's distress. Other distractions can not keep Dana Ford from her food. A lunch from home is |eff Gee's answer to the cafe- terias food. 22 Lunchtime gives Vicky Brown and Sheila Hunter an opportunity to catch up on the day's news. Lunchtime provides a chance to talk over the day's problems with a friend. A plate lunch seems to be more than Dennis Neapier can handle. A pre-packaged ice cream bar is something safe to eat. 23 Merle Nolle marks the exact spot where he will work. Susan Holt daw measures precisely to produce an accurate drawing. Sheet metal projects require careful following of directions. Mike Coffey seems to enjoy the precision involved in drafting. Product quality is important to Alan Alexander in wood working. 24 Vocational Training Provides Flexibility As we enter the eighties, competition for many professions is becoming much stiffen For present Science Hill students who will be in market for a job during this decade, this means a need for greater versatility. Many students have found voca- tional courses to be a wise preparation for the future for sev- eral reasons. An expensive college education can often be supported by jobs requiring vocational training. Even after a degree has been obtained, a vocation can be a means of support until a posi- tion opens. For those with both academic and vocational training the eighties hold better prospect of having a stable income. Besides opening better opportunities vocational training has other economic benefits. Some will find this training helpful in simply making home repairs which allows a higher level of in- dependence during escalating labor cost. While vocational training can be a supporting factor in prep- aration for a profession and making home repairs, many find in this area a enjoyable future occupation. Electric wiring requires exact knowledge of electric current as Cary Walters knows. Careful attention to directions is necessary as Tony Neal makes some minor corrections. Repairing an automobile is a highly difficult procedure and requires plenty of light. Tony Shade works carefully while using the band saw. 25 Plans for the next pep rally are made by Laura Granger and Cookie McKinney. Team work makes the load lighter for Mr. Rawles and Gary Wishon. Exchanging abstract ideas after class are Don Smith and Elizabeth Vogt. From the moment you step in the door in Ron Cor ine's room you feel you are welcome . 26 An occasional detailed explanation helps Stan Ricker pass Mrs. Hurst's tests. Going over some tough math problems before a test are Rusty Wilson and Mrs. Freeman. Patience is required by both Mr. Hollyfield and Kevin Scott when such intricate wiring is to be dealt with. Combined effort between students John Cousins, Shawn Samier, and Tammy Cerar with Mr. Edens makes Spanish projects enjoyable. Barriers Break Down The special relationships between students and faculty will probably be among our fondest memories in years to come. Newcomers to the school are often surprised by the openess and warm friendships that form between faculty and students here on the Hill. Up until high school, the relationships between students and teachers are usually limited. But there comes a time when old barriers are broken down by just reaching out, and friendships are formed by common interests. 27 Oblivious of those around her, Jenny Miller studies her picture card. Tuned only onto her typing assignment, Teri Procter, finishes her work. Disgusted over soaring gas prices, Scott Shrum fills his car and empties his pocket. Concern Grows Students at Science Hill, especially Seniors, are be- coming more and more concerned about the prob- lems facing them today. These problems may be on a personal basis or even on a national basisl The escalating price of gasoline has hit most every- one where it really hurts, reaching the dollar mark at the turn of the decade. This added expense has forced students to either work more hours at their job or to drive less. The soaring price of gold has also alarmed many students by rising over five hundred percent in one year alone. Some problems may be closer to home, such as— who to take out Saturday night or where to eat lunch. Adding to the normal problems of growing up , the problems of facing an uncertain future cause mo- ments of concern for all. 28 Sitting together yet isolated from another, Janie Banks and Alan Kreuzberg, Tim Harrell, takes time out to reminisce, take time to read. Two unidentified girls take advantage of a few precious moments of peace and quiet. 29 Science Hill Cares About Iran Few International events have had such a profound effect on students at Science Hill as the recent developments in Iran and Af- ghanistan. Both the kidnapping of 50 hos- tages from the embassy in Iran and Russia's invasion of Afghanistan brought about a feeling of general concern. The fear of war between Iran and the United States was intensified by the situ- ation in Afghanistan. Russia's untimely in- vasion of Afghanistan has.threatened world peace. With the conquest of Afghanistan, Russia will gain a very strategic strong hold over the rest of the Moslem world. Our deepest concern lies with Russia's aggres- sive, deceptive foreign policy and her plans for future expansion . While news events are generally met with apathy these two events present such a possible threat that this attitude of apathy is seeming to dissolve at Science Hill. The students have become active in protest of international affairs, sending Christmas cards, signing petitions to have our hos- tages released, and carrying an attitude which shows concern. Unlike many wars in the past, these threats pose a direct threat of the United States and Science Hill Stu- dents have responded with unified concern. 30 Coach Ferrate explains his point of view about the situation in Iran Their own personal message to the hostages is written by David Green, Susan Addison, and Richard Andro during English class. During Current Events everyone writes his or her opinion about what should be done to free the hostages. Bombarded by the daily developments from Iran and Russia, Ches- ter Lilly keeps up with the situation in Iran. Angered by the capture of the American Hostages, Brenda Stewart, Eileen Benner, Tracy Yates write their own Christmas cards in protest. Beauty Surrounds 'The Hill Living in Upper East Tennessee offers something that many people are geo- graphically unable to comprehend, the pure beauty of nature. We live in one of the prettiest parts of the country, which is taken for granted by many. This beauty is most prevalent during the fall when the trees turn too many colors to even count. There seems to be beauty in every season whether its raining, snow- ing, or if the sun is shining. Yet the true beauty of it all lies in the eyes of the beholder. 32 TEXAS INSTRUMENTI INCORPORATED PLANT AND WORK PREMISES New hospital facilities will provide better medical care for area people. The Texas Instruments expansion has brought many new families to the |ohn- son Gty area. The Mall expansion will provide J7 new stores for Johnson City shoppers. The new parking garage is built by workers in the downtown area. Area Growth Opens Opportunities In recent years when our country has been plagued with in- flation and recession, Johnson City has experienced an unusual surge of growth. The resulting changes have inevitably af- fected us as students at Science Hill. Growth in this region has occurred in many areas. Johnson City instituted a new transit system which became operative late in 79. A new hospital is being built, along with a new medical school in conjunction with ETSU and the VA Hospital. Many commercial and industrial enterprises began impressive expansion programs. To encourage revitalization of the down- town area, the city has enacted a major renovation program including housing, multi-level facilities for Senior citizens, a parking garage, and a beautification program. Growth in our area will certainly have either a direct or in- direct effect on all of us. Some will make new friends as more people enter the area. Others may look forward to a better job opportunity in this area. Even in little ways we will all be af- fected by changes in our surroundings. We can enjoy shop- ping in a new section of the Mall or be puzzled by learning new telephone numbers. As we look ito the 80's, this new ex- pansion will have a profound effect on us all. Fountain Place is just one of the projects designed to beautify the downtown area. A new transit system has made available public transportation to all parts of the city. New 282 numbers have been the result of the new United Telephone station located on North Roan.

Besides gradu- ation the program is one of the uniting forces between faculty and students bringing them together with a common goal To Be the Best. School spirit takes hold of Science Hill since the sporting events provide the main form of entertainment for many students. Enjoying cross country running D. Price takes a brisk run in the midday shade. Dancing at a basketball game is Tiptopper Carol Hawkins. Blocking a shot is Joleen Dunnam. Taking a break during the game, Troy Hundley and John Hoynacki sit on the bench. 36 Catching his opponent in an awkward position is Wally Kidner. Expressing the importance of a certain play. Coach Greenwell talks to the players. A sore foot doesn't stop Debra Hamilton from preparing for the game. Playing hall excites its participants. Outside Influences Shaping the lives of Science Hill students are many activities outside of the school. Their interests are wide and varied. Many students participate in sports sponsored by churches or neighboring businesses. Girls football was a highlight for social clubs as they faced old rivals at their annual powderpuff game this year. Many students spend their outside time supporting our athletes instead of participating. Besides free lancing with their time, some students work to obtain money either to save for college, a car or extra spending money. These influences outside of Science Hill shape the lives of our students and in comparision shape Science Hill. Suzanne Hay and Tom Rodenfels enjoy themselves at a dance. Going to a basketball game is a good way to spend an evening. Church basketball demands concentration of its players. Playing foosball is fun competition between friends. Working to earn some extra money, Amy Cunningham serves a customer. The annual Civinette-Opti-Miss powderpuff game left players tired and sore. Science Hill supporters cheer the team on to victory. Sleepers ... Beware!! Caught in the act of inaction, students often use class time as a means of catching up on sleep lost due to extra-curricular activi- ties. These slumbering students use many excuses such as: staying up late to do homework, working until midnight on an af- ter school job, getting caught-up in a late movie, experiencing unavoidable delays at a friends house or even-would you be- lieve—experiencing car trouble. Sometimes though, even doctor's medicine causes drowsiness. But NEVER could the teacher's lec- ture or a filmstrip be blamed! However, reaction by certain teachers often destroys the peaceful surroundings. Some irritated teachers will yell at the stu- dents or call on them to participate in class. Other teachers delight in the opportunity to play a prank on the sleeper by drop- ping a book next to their desk or having the remainder of the stu- dents depart quietly when the bell rings causing the student to wake in utter confusion. Whatever the reaction, most sleepers flirt with danger when the eyelids close. 40 41 Through acting, Jim Rogers gets an acceptable outlet for his sillies . Cheers bring out visions of delight from Carol Hawkins. Looking over the new crop of girls leaves varied reactions for Bruce Fillers and Rodney Farmer. Straining to rebound, Albert Sams plays with all his strength. Expressions Reflect True Self Due to the tremendous pressures and the many de- cisions we all must face during a school day, we un- consciously release our anxieties and frustrations through facial expressions and unusual gestures. These actions not only relieve us from our anger and sorrow but they also provide entertainment for those who watch ... Co-incidently, while these students were releasing their emotions, our photographers were nearby to capture their real selves. With murder in her heart, Angela Carter gets caught by the photographer. During “Thieves Carnival Renee Soppet shows her best side. Surprised by her successful volley, Nina Simpson enjoys scoring. Sometimes lunchroom food is hard to swallow. 43 Styles are constantly changing as students them- selves change. During the rebellious early 70's, dress styles reflected this rebellion and most students dressed in a manner that often upset parents and teachers. As we move toward the 80's the mood has also changed towards a more cooperative spirit while still maintaining a sense of individuality. Likewise, dress styles reflect this new mood. Most of us no longer feel that we have to wear one certain thing to be in style. There is a new indepen- dence that allows us to use our own imagination to express our personalities and moods. We can now dress up without feeling out of place or allow our- selves the luxury of jeans and an old T-shirt if the mood hits us. Dress Styles Express New Mood A few minutes of relaxation before class are taken by Chris Robinson and Steve Reed. A more relaxed dress makes the job easier for Ted Booth and Johnny Burgess. The more simplistic days of the 50's are preferred by Melissa Adams. Robert Love tips his hat to the camera. 44 A casual sweater keeps Carol Daniels warm while delivering messages from the office. J.V. basketball supporters, Randa Affie, Peg Rodenfels, (ill McDonnell, and Karen O'Donnell. Even among close friends, styles vary with the personalities. As the day warms up Kathy Mount finds she no longer needs her jacket. 45 Interests Blend To quote a folk song once popularized by singer Pete Seeger, To every thing there is a season and a time for every purpose under Heaven. This thought is particularly true of life at Science Hill. Out of the immensity of the school there emerges such a ka- leidoscope of people, personalities and interests that somehow manage to come together to function as a whole. Students may find a wide variety of outlets to express themselves and people to share their interests. Because of this, Science Hill is unique. It is so many things to different people. 46 The desire to be accepted by a respected col- lege makes high scores on the SAT essential. Karen Ratliff and Sherry Oliver practice their first aid during Health class. Football games provide a much needed outlet for anyone's frustrations, especially when you're rooting for a winner. Ralph Miller works diligently on his project be- fore class is over. One of the best parts of school is going home after a hard day. Lunchtime offers a break in the day for Brent McClearen. FCA gives its annual Christmas program to an area nursing home. 47 Warming up before a swim meet, Jeff Gee pushes off the starting block. Curtis Young succeeds in pin- ning his opponent. With her long strides, Phyllis Swindler is a strong asset to the girl's cross-coun- try team. Preparing to hit the volleyball. Sue Procter keeps an eye on the ball. Skillfully jumping high, Alfonzo White enables himself to have a clearer shot at the basket. Cheering-on the football players. Science Hill's fans rush down to meet the players as they run onto the field. 48 Science Hill's athletes seem to have used this year as a turning point for the teams and the sports. Not only has the football team worked together to be number 1 but other teams such as Swimming, Cross Country, Volleyball, Soccer, Track, Girls and Boys Basketball, Baseball and Tennis have also worked extremely hard this year to show that Science Hill has some of the best athletes in East Tennessee. Not only is there the evidence of competition and sportsmanship between the opposing team, but also between the team members, which makes the team members work harder. The fans that show up at these events are just as much a part of the sports and games as the players themselves. They help cheer, and en- courage the teams on to victory. The athletes appreciate the fans participation. Hard work and stamina is a requirement for cross-country runner, David Graham.

A NICE PLACE TO BE The combination of an undefeated and untied season, the first in Science Hill's football history, and a long-sought-for team effort, the Hilltoppers were able to successfully grasp the Big 7 championship. The Toppers had to prove their overall playing ability in the second game of the season aginst Do- byns-Bennett, which eventually determined the winner of the Big 7 title. The varsity squad played to the end as a team. However, record breaking running-back, Steve Fields, and linebacker, Troy Hundley, were offensive and defensive stand- outs respectfully. The Toppers opened their season well on David Crockett turf by shutting them out 27-0. The Topper fans tolerated poor seating conditions as they watched Science Hill rack up a total of 278 yards against the Pioneer's 34 yards. Touchdowns were scored by Earnie Carson, Dee Dee Scott, and Steve Fields. Ef- fort from all areas of the team combined to capture the rela- tively easy win. Heading for a touchdown against David Crockett is Steve Fields. Big 7 defensive player of the week-Troy Hundley. Team defense is needed to bring down an Indian, (opposite page) 50 Overpowering our rival, Dobyns-Bennett 9-7, later proved to be the deciding game of the season. Defen- sive efforts by Troy Hundley, who was later named Big 7 Defensive player of the week, played a large part in the crucial win. The Topper's lone touchdown was scored on a five yard pass from Curtis Hurt to An- thony Bell. Rick Arnold kicked, what proved to be the game-winning edge, a 40 yard field goal. It was a great defensive game on both sides of the line, Hun- dley said after the game. We stopped each other's fa- vorite plays, he said. To prove they were in shape and to add insult to injury the Toppers ran wind sprints after the game. Untouched, Dan Pence runs for more yardage against Sullivan Central. Calling the signals is quarterback Curtis Hurt. Tackling a Sullivan Central player is a task for both john Hoynacki and Nick Smith. Science Hill made it 3 straight wins when the Toppers took on the Sullivan Central Cougars on a wet Saturday evening. The game was postponed a night because of rain. The Toppers took advantage of the wet conditions by forcing four Cougar turnovers in the 2nd half alone. Rick Arnold opened up the Topper scoring with a 25-yard field goal. Marvin Bell and Rob- ert Shade helped also by adding six points apiece to the Top- per score. Both teams played exceptionally well. However, the Cougars could not hold on to the ball which cost them the game. On this hot and humid evening the Toppers added Daniel Boone to their list of shutouts. Much of the credit of the win was given by Coach Hundley to the defensive interior line. The only score of the first half was a four yard pass from Curtis Hurt to Steve Fields. Defensive back, Bill McKinney gave the Toppers breathing room when he picked off a a Trail-Blazer pass deep in Topper territory. The offensive series was suc- cessful as the Toppers put another 6 points on the board. The final score of the evening came on a fake field goal attempt. McKinney took the snap, rolled right, and hit tight end An- thony Bell in the end zone. 51 Defense Overwhelms Opponents Science Hill came back from a 7-0 deficit at half- time to beat Tennessee High in a thrill-packed show- down. Coach Hundley was forced to go back to the drawing board at half-time and devise a new game plan, and it worked. Principal ball carrier Steve Fields ran for 139 yards and three touchdowns in the second half alone, to lead the Toppers to victory. The score by the Viking quarterback was the only second touchdown scored against the mighty Toppers this season. Coach Hundley put sophomore quarter- back, Malcolm Foreman at the helm when Curtis Hurt was racked up. Steve Fields scored his three touch- downs on a 22-yard sweep, 9-yard run and a 23-yard scramble respectively. Science Hill was ready for undefeated Elizebethton Friday night. There was more at stake than just a game. It was also our Homecoming. Over 9000 people showed up to Witness the Toppers overcome Elizebethton by one touchdown. The credit for the win was given to the defen- sive unit as they raised their shutout record to 4 out of 6. The most crucial defensive play of the evening came when Troy Hundley intercepted a Cyclone pass on the Science Hill 14-yard line. Rain began pouring in the fourth quarter, yet most of the loyal fans stayed to watch Science Hill win. Steve Fields rushed for 139 yards to lead the Toppers to a 26-7 victory over Morristown West. The contest was a struggle of defense for most of the first half. In the second half the Toppers began to play like an undefeated team as they scored their last two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Dan Pence and Ernie Carson scored a touchdown a piece and contributed to the 223 yards rushing. Science Hill lost their chance for their sixth shutout of the season when Morristown scored with only 15 seconds left in the game. Running around end are the Toppers three principle ball carriers, Dan Pence, Earnie Carson, and Steve Fields. Dee Dee Scott dodges a possible tackier. Heading up the field Dan Pence goes for more yardage. Steve Fields again finds open space. 52 The varsity squad shattered Sullivan East 40-0. The Toppers took advantage of every Patriot mistake and cashed in for six touchdowns during the evening. The highlight of the evening came when Dee Dee Scott ran down a runaway Patriot to the 4 yard line after a 80-yard romp. The de- fensive unit then rose to the occasion and stopped Sullivan East dead in their tracks. The large lead gave Coach Hundley a chance to play his reserve units much to the dismay of the seniors. Science Hill fans packed the stadium to cheer the Toppers to their last victory before the playoffs. It was obvious from the beginning that Science Hill was out to make their season undefeated and they dominated the game with skill and enthusiasm. Science Hill scored early in the game and stopped all of the Devils attempts to score. The Topper 20-20 Club then got their chance at Erwin, but with the clock running out Unicoi County pushed in to make their first and only touchdown of the game. The rain finally began to fall at the close of the game and it was a wet but happy group of SHHS football players and fans that left the stadium. Fancy footwork by Nick Smith. Through the eyes of an opposing defensive back, there's just no stopping us. After a fantastic catch Anthony Bell coasts into the end zone, pp.80-81 53 Success to the End The overall success of the Topper Football season was due mainly to the combination of many elements which includes team effort, fan support, and newly found Topper pride. In a complete turnaround from last season, the varsity squad played entirely as a team. Topper pride was shown not only through the teamwork of the players but also through the fans continual support. Celebrating the winning touchdown in overtime against Morristown East is the Topper offense. Another sign of Topper expectation. Running off the field after a successful defensive stand are Nick Smith, Troy Hundly, Anthony Bell, Earnie Carson and Alan Pickle. Dee Dee Scott nails an opponent to the ground.

Last year they struggled through with a 4-5 record. It was obvious to all that the winning attitude of our varsity carried over into the junior Varsity team. Key performers for the young Toppers were: joey Merritt, Malcolm Foreman, Scott Waddell, Carlton Greenlee and David Walker. These and many other players show much promise for the future. Even though the J.V. did not have a perfect record, they obviously had a fine team. Many important players will be gone next year from the Varsity. But the J.V. record gives us hope for next year. Steve Turnball gets a little more pressure than is usually allowed on this pass. The offensive unit is on the move again for another touchdown. 57 58 Enthusiasm Unites School Spurring the football team and the basketball team on to winning seasons, the cheerleaders provided much of the spirit which contributed to their success. The squad started long before the football season, for many practice hours were necessary to prepare for the year. Both J.V. and Varsity cheerleaders at- tended cheerleading camp and were presented numerous awards for their outstanding spirit. Several new elements were added this year to add to the crowds enthusiasm. Suzanne Hay became the first mascot, wearing a Top hat and cane . Also, the cheerleaders were the first to perform dance routines during pep rallies. The lively, ever present, spirit of both squads helped bring a fragmented stu- dent body into unified school support- ing our teams. J.V.

Coach Morgan felt they played up to their full potential and even if they lacked skill in one area, they made up for it in other areas. He is looking forward to most of them being good players on the Varsity team next year. It was quite evident that the team members each con- tributed equally to their successful year.

After losing important se- niors of last years team, the team was forced to play inexperi- enced players to make up for the lost players. Captain Carol Moton, and other seniors, Tammy Seehorn, and Karen Dietrich, provided the leadership to guide the team to a fair season. With eight players returning next year the 'Topper girls will be looking to improve this seasons record. Girls Basketball Team: Front—D. Price, C. Moton, N. Simpson, T. Galaspie, B. Trent. Back—P.

Under coach Bob Evans, the cross country team works hard at improving their stamina and endurance. The cross country team participated in the UT Southern Invitational on February 2nd, in both the distance medley and the two-mile relay. The team's top five runners are: Chris Perry, Paul Tay- lor, David Graham, Bobby Ladich and Wayne Prickett. Many hours of practice and conditioning are necessary for Chris Perry as he prepares for various meets.

The team drew more interest with soph- omore girls, which will help the team, for the next two years coached by Mrs. judy jones. The top five runners are: Phyllis Swindler, Debbie Price, Melissa Bu- channan, Judy Bolus and Sallie Miller. These five girls have participated in the meets to acquire their positions and will continue on through the track season. 65 Big 7 Champs A fine season was enjoyed by the Science Hill Wrestling Team this year un- der the preat leadership of tri-captains Melvin Jackson, Keith Sparks, and Curtis Young. The team posted an 11-1 duel meet record. They placed second in the Morristown Invitational, and first in the Knox Halls Invitational. Besides these invitational matches, they placed first in the Big Seven Conference, and also first in the District Tournament. In addition to Melvin, Curtis, and Keith, four other wrestlers qualified for the Regional Tournament with hopes of competing in the State Tournament, they are Alan Delany, Alan Kreuzburg, Brian Morrison, and Thomas Wade. Good luck and congratulations on a fine season. Wrestling Team: M. Jackson, A. Kreuzburg, W. Kidner, J. Bready, C. Young, D. A. Pickle, M. Powell, D. Hodge, B. Morrison, R. Bready, M. Briscoe, T.

The team is under the direction of Coach Lynn McCall for the sec- ond year in a row. This year the team has grown in numbers. Almost all school swimming records were broken by jeff Gee and Bryan Dye during swim meets which are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Even though these meets are mainly individual events, team effort is evident in the two relay events and the total scores. The swim team's motto which was put on the back of their shirts, When we're wet we're wild reflects the spirit of the team. Togetherness is encouraged by the captains: Jeff Gee, Heidi Becker and by co-captains: Jim Wilson, and Kim Mayer. Girl's Swim Team: Denise Wigginton, Heidi Becker, Carla Cox.

In his her sophomore year he has to get used to being one of the youngest at the school. He also has to put up with juniors and Seniors picking on him. In his junior year he gets the thrill of being able to order his class ring for the first time. He has a freer choice on his class schedule. Most ju- niors are at the right age to get their driver's licenses and college is be- coming more of a reality with college entrance tests looming ahead. When he becomes a Senior he now realizes leaving home or going to college is only months away. He is measured for cap and gowns and he orders his graduation invitations. But each year is more than events. It is an atmosphere that grows and gives each year a special quality. This atmosphere is only possible with the joint effort of the teachers and administration. Together we move forward with confidence. A little snack break gives Julie Price time for reflection. Comfortable in her roll as a Junior, Lisa Brown waits for history to begin. Mickey Wright and Jackie Miller converge at a locker to share a few brief moments be- fore racing to the next class.

TOP HONORS GIVEN Most Outstanding Senior Following a long standing tradition-the Senior Class elected Todd Lowe as Most Outstanding Se- nior. Todd is President of the State German Club and is Vice-President of the Science Hill German Club. He is also President of the Student Govern- ment and secretary of the Beta Club. Todd has been the Student Trainer of the basketball and baseball teams each of his three years at Science Hill. Todd was selected as National Merit Semi-Fi- nalist earlier this year. Todd's leadership abilities and his friendly attitude have earned him the high- est honor presented to any senior. 74 Best All Around Senior Boy Best All Around Senior Boy of 1980 is Dan Pence. Dan is in- volved with the Choir, Hilltop and Continentals. He partici- pated in football and track all three years. Dan also took part in numerous drama productions-in most he had a starring role.

Changing Directions Senior Class Officers: Tonya Elliott, Treas.; Dawn Raymond, Sec.; Velma Murphy, V. Pres.; Tracy Yates, Pres. Here we are in our final year of school. Should we be sad that we are leaving what thev call the best days of our lives , or happy that we may find even better times ahead? We anticipated our first day as Seniors; walking into the doors of Science Hill High School, knowing that we were the ones being looked up to by almost every other student walking those crowded halls. Then we remembered our very first day at high school; filled with tension, fright and wonder of what was ahead in the days to come. Oh how we envied and looked up to the class of 78. We hoped that maybe we were good enough to have gained the respect of our fellow students as well as others have received ours. The last year of our high school days is, for some, a time of celebration because, for them, this is their last year and they are very glad it has finally come to an end. But, others dread to see the end come. We leave our mark. Our desim to achieve, our spirit, our sense of togetherness will be felt and set the stan- dard for many years to come. This year has not been easy; each of us faced many decisions and choices which shape our future. It does not seem possible that the Class of '80 is almost finished. Some will find jobs; others will go to college, but we are sure each person will be a success because they were a part of the Class of '80. The carefree life of a senior is experienced by Tammy Seehorn. The increasing importance of computer science is realized by |oe Mahoney. Savoring the thrill of victory.

Few seniors are ever prepared for the bewil- dering questions, continuing pressures and com- plex decisions, that must be made. Seventy-five percent of Science Hill Students make the deci- sion to go on to college. For them a complicated process must be followed. First many questions must be considered: Should I stay at home or go away to school? Is the college academically or socially orient- ated? Can I pay the rising costs? These are just a few questions that influence the search that begins. College Catalogs are studied, inter- views and visits to the campus are arranged; and tests are taken. Time creeps up, as the guidance department sets December 1st as the suggested date for sending in applications. Many forms must be filled out, the hardest being the personal essay. Once the application is sent in, the waiting begins. Some who apply for early admission hear early, but for most April 15 is the critical day. The arrival of the postman marks acceptance or re- jection. This critical decision is over now and we can enjoy these last few moments together as seniors before we make our new start.

There are many events which help us to obtain this feeling. It begins with the taking of the senior pictures. This seems to be a clear indication that the final year has be- gun. Other events such as the voting for su- perlatives and the measuring for cap and gown, give us the feeling of our new status. This feeling increases with the taking of the senior class picture, an event which will be remembered as one of the few times the entire senior class would be together dur- ing the year. Another way which helps us to realize our new role is through the status we expe- rience as seniors. We receive certain privi- leges such as college days and seniority. Also a special recognition by our under- classmen help us to feel like seniors. This new status is enjoyed throughout the year ending in some of the most ex- citing events: the ordering of invitations and the practice for graduation. These events all help form the realization that we are seniors. Tina Robin Cox Amy T. Cunningham Kevin Patrick Cusack Steve Dampier Andrea Darr Donna Davis Feeling a bit ridiculous.

As we watched our seniors on the foot- ball squad pulling together as a team, pushing through a 9-0 record, enthusi- asm grew throughout the school. Many seniors led efforts in the Pep Club by painting and putting up signs which encouraged the Toppers. The will- ingness to cheer was evident as seniors led the movement toward a re- newed interest in our school. Crucial interception by Bill McKinney lifts team spirit. Pep Club members, Wendy Wood and Renee Boswell paint signs to encourage the Toppers.

Green Phyllis Green Tammy Ann Green Eric Dale Greene Unexpected Throws Us In New Directions It seems that we always move from one plateau to another. Just when we think we have our life all together something in- variably happens-a death in the family, the drastic personality change of our best friend, the rejection by a coveted group, the moving away of a close friend, the wrecking of the family car or the losing out on a job or college. These unexpected events force us to reexamine our own lives, values and direc- tions. We begin to wonder if the efforts of our last three years were worth it at all. These doubts throw us into a new direc- tion which often involves beginning again. By doing our best, we become stronger and are able to face new challenges w ith confidence—in a sense 'living the answers to our own questions. Pondering the ufxoming test, Linda Eggers studies her notes. 89 Variety offered through Senior Electives Interest, ambitions, and desire to learn greatly influence the decisions Seniors make when deciding the last courses of our high school years. Approximately 25 courses are offered at Science Hill. Of these, 25 are designed and recommended for Seniors. These senior electives occur in categories of English, Math, Science, Social Sciences, and foreign languages. These courses give preparation for either direct contact with a vo- cation or a college education after high school. The largest number of senior electives are offered by the English Department. The primary purpose of each course differs, but each gives some useful preparation for a voca- tion or college. Business English, for example, provides in- struction in language arts as it relates to business, while Ad- vanced Composition, a college preparatory course, provides instruction in basic concepts of composition-a useful preparation for freshman composition. Advanced Math-Seniors is an example of a mathematics course which was designed for Seniors. This course is more useful to the college bound students, but may also be help- ful to those entering vocational fields. Courses in Social Sciences such as Current Events encour- ages the habit of reading news media. Becoming an in- formed citizen who understands the issues of the day is an important preparation for all. For Seniors who have enjoyed languages, advanced level classes give an in-depth view of the c ulture and and litera- ture of the country. Skills in languages open many opportu- nities for Seniors in the future. Being together in the classroom and receiving useful preparation for the future are two important values for Se- niors. For this reason, senior electives comprise an impor- tant part of our present high school curriculum. Dexter Allen Greenlee Juan Rotell Hairston John Hall Charlene L.

Often learning that occurs on the job can bring our lives into focus. The Co- op program at Science Hill provides super- vised work experience for many students. A Co-op student has at least 3 regular classes each day including a Co-op class. After the classroom work, the student goes to work the remaining 2 to 3 periods. While on the job the students learn to work with other people and are allowed to learn from their mistakes. The program also enables students to explore a possible ca- reer choice while learning how to handle money and responsibility. The experience a student receives from participating in the Co-op program will aid him in finding a job after high school at a time when competition for jobs will be stiff. This knowledge and the ability to get along with people are assets which can be trans- ferred to other careers as interest change. Experience gained through the Co-Op program gives Steve Edwardson an opportunity to explore a journal- ism career.

Lloyd Paul Allen Lockhart Karen Faye Lollar Richard Todd Lowe Brian Keith Lyons Ann Shanks finds many long hours of work required to master an A.P. course With the rising prices of a college education the Advanced Placement Program was developed to allow outstanding students to receive college credit by examination. This program which is offered in many of the nation's high schools has been very successful at Science Hill. English and Calculus are the only Advanced Placement (AP) courses which Science Hill offers. An AP course prepares students for the AP exam- ination which is given in the spring. Based on a five- point scoring system, a score of three or above is accepted by many colleges as equivalent to fresh- men English or Math. Besides college credit, stu- dents are given credit for high school Senior English and or Math. Currently enrolled in the AP courses offered at Science Hill are approximately 30 Seniors. From past indications, most of these Seniors will take the AP Exam and over ty of them will score. For stu- dents who score this means a significant savings in college expense and the advantage of having expe- rienced a college level course.

At least half of the students at Science Hill will take one or more courses at the vocational school, gaining such skills. Some skills will lead directly into the choice of a related career, while others will have practical appli- cations in every day living giving a sense of confidence toward the future.

In trying to decide on a career, many Seniors have a sense of urgency and panic. Often Seniors have been told their entire life to prepare for one career-preferably one that re- flects well on their parents—and to stick to it. Even as little children, they are pressured by parents, relatives, and friends to make this decision. Most everyone can remember being asked as a little child, “What do you want to be when you grow up? Although pressures come from all sides, experts say that a person prepared for the future needs to be flexible and skilled in many areas. Seniors sometimes need to be al- lowed to stumble and by stumbling and experiencing, learn what they want to do with their life. Those who remain undecided their senior year should, if college bound, take a wide variety of courses to gain expe- rience in many different fields. Even when they become col- lege Freshmen, they should not worry if they are still undecided. Even those who feel they know the best direction for their lives may find later they have made the wrong choice. For this reason, the value of indecision should be recog- nized by those who remain undecided. 99 The understanding of other cultures is important in a world that must work together to survive. Many opportunities to visit other Expanding Horizons countries are open to Science Hill students. The largest of the trips abroad programs is the People to People Student Ambassador Program. President Dwight Eisenhower orga- nized People to People in 1956 with the aim of building better rela- tions between Americans and citizens of other countries. The trip which leaves in the summer is the longest trip offered to Science Hill students, lasting days. This year the group representing Science Hill will visit Greece, Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Yugoslavia. This past summer the German classes also offered a European trip which was set up as a student exchange program and lasted one month. Several students from France spent the month of july with several Science Hill French students. Those who kept French students will have the option of visiting France next year through the same pro- gram. These exchange programs enrich the lives of those participating. Standing in front of the Palace of Versailles, a 1979 People to People Ambassadors group included students from Greenville, Memphis and Johnson City.

Each year the National Merit Scholarships are given to outstanding senior students who scored highest on the Pre- liminary Scholastic Aptitude test (PSAT). This test which] evaluates Mathematics and English skills can be taken in the fall of a student's junior year. Science Hill had five senior students honored this year by being chosen National Merit Semi-finalist.

At the end of last year faculty selected Boys State delegates from this year's senior class, and this fall, selected recipients of two awards-offered by local commu- nity organizations. Many other awards are presented during Honors Day in the spring. The Optimist Appreciation awards were presented to Susan Addison and Ben Herrin. For winning this award, Su- san and Ben were honored at a banquet and were presented with a $25 savings bond. The DAR award is presented to the student with outstanding citizenship, leadership, service and dependability. The faculty chooses the student having all of these qualities. This year, they chose Susan Addison. Susan will com- pete on the state level by taking a cur- rent events test. Boy's State, a week long conference was held the end of last June at Tennes- see Tech. This year's delegates were Ben Herrin and Todd Judy. According to Ben Herrin, this year's conference was very exciting. The day was usually 20 hours long. The boys heard lectures for 2 to 3 hours and the rest of the day is spent working on various activities. Although the week was rigorous, both boys en- joyed the week thoroughly.

Those who are more studious find others with whom to discuss ideas and world events. Those whose interest lie in athletics find others with similar interest to discuss the latest game, while those socially minded can find many to party with. And even mischief-makers can find co- horts with skills designed to drive teacher and administrators to madness. This diversity allows us to expand our interest, change friends as we change and strengthen our own value systems.

Young Terry Monette Young Mark Lee Zadach Elizabeth Greer Simone Street Seniors Face Stiff Competition As we approach the end of our last year of high school, we as Seniors look to the future with hope and expectations. After graduation each of us will go our own way and follow the avenue which we have chosen for ourselves. Many will go on to college while others may choose to take a job or go into the armed services. Still others who remain undecided will ask the question, Where do I go from here? For Seniors, graduating this year, the chances for em- ployment in the 80's are slimmer than in past years. In the 80's the so called Baby Boom babies of the 50's and 60's will comprise the largest part of the young working class. This increase in potential workers especially those with college degrees will cause keen competition for job seekers. Although overall employment will be down, special- ized fields will have more openings. Persons working in clerical fields. Social Services, and engineering will all be in great demand, while teaching positions and law will have reached the saturation point. Besides opportunities in trained professions the 80's also hold a dim view for the working man who has no additional training. Because of the decrease in jobs avail- able, many college graduates will be forced to accept jobs below their capabilities. Positions such as office as- sistants, formerly held by untrained workers will become dominated by the graduate. This selectiveness will make it hard for those without a college education. Even though the future may hold rougher times tor us as Science Hill graduates, we still look forward to it with great optimism, a feeling which is well justified by the ex- cellent preparation we have received here. Where ever we may go or what ever we do in the years to come, we shall always retain a feeling of pride of our Alma Mater. Office skills provide Kristy Brandon a door to the future.

Junior Year Proves to be Most Comfortable junior year is probably the most comfortable and enjoyable in our high school experience. It provides us with some relaxa- tion and fun before we must enter our Senior year and make some very critical life decisions. Caught between the newness of Sophomore year and the anxiety of Senior year, we begin to feel a sense of ease and confidence. No longer do we tremble at the immense size of Science Hill, nor are we confronted with the problems of getting a job or getting into college that the Seniors must face. Most people, looking back in time, agree that Junior year was the most en- joyable year, academically and socially. Naturally, experiences with the Junior year will vary, but for most of us, it will be looked upon with remembrance of smiles, friendships and good times.

The time is drawing near that all of us will have graduated from Science Hill and begun our lives in the outside world. Many of us will choose to seek out a job and begin working immediately. Yet oth- ers will choose to go on and pursue a higher educa- tion. This may be either a business college, or a ju- nior college, but more often than not it will be a traditional four-year college. In preparation for this important step in life, those of us who are college bound must successfully pass a series of require- ments that include good grades, school and civic involvement, and standardized testing such as the PSAT, SAT, and ACT. Every year in October the testing begins with the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT). This test is taken in preparation for the more important Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) that is considerably more difficult. The scores from these tests are used as prime considerations by colleges when consid- ering the selection of their in-coming students. 113 Jeff Hinkle Kristy Hodge Mike Hoilman Bobby Holly James Holoway Susan Holtzsclaw Bruce Honeycutt Elisa Horton Mike Hoss Nina Howard Eddie Huffine Sheila Hunter Kathy Huskins Mickey Hutchins Tommy Hutton Jerry Jackson Daniel Jenkins Donna Jenkins Sally Jenkins Robin Jilton Robert Johnson Robin Johnson Rhonda Johnston David Jones James Jones Lesa Jones Danny Jordan Sherry Jordan Sandra Ketcherside Patricia Kilgore Dawn Kilian Christina King Connie King Brad Knight Allan Kreu burg Bobby Ladich Leigh Lancaster Dianne Lane Steve Lane Andy Langston Chris Latta Evelyn Laws Glenn Lawson Reggie Ledford Kevin Leonard Brady Lewis Cheryl Lewis Teresa Light Chet Lilly Stephen Logan Melissa Love Melvin Love David Lovelace Leslie Lovelady 114 mmm.

Most requirements have been taken, and elective classes pro- vide a welcome relief. We are able to sign up for classes which fit our personal needs. These classes range from English electives such as Film-making or English Literature to Computer programming or vocational courses such as Cosmetology or Horticulture. Along with this freedom we are faced with many decisions. These decisions pro- vide one step on the road to or own per- sonal independence.

It's a tormenting feeling, for more often than not we usually give up and dismiss it as a folly of the heart. Some of the more ingenious lovelorn individuals, however, de- vised a method where there is no way they can escape the atten- tion of their special one. This is the art of meeting in the halls. These crafty students strategically locate themselves outside their sweethearts Algebra class and just happen to pop up unexpect- edly. You can usually spot these lovestruck people with little diffi- culty. They are always the people who jump up as soon as class is out and run to the spot where they know their heartthrob will pass. Naturally, this game not only is played by sweethearts, but the incidence rate is higher among those who are passionately anx- ious. With modern medicine treatment, however, the disease can be cured and the outlook for recovery is good.

One of these things includes a greater acceptance into the highschool community. Most Juniors priorities are now in order and many difficult adjustments have been made to the rigor of highschool life. For the first time in their educational experience Junior Year usually means the first year students really begin to contemplate the idea of going to college or getting a job. While looking forward to becoming a Senior, Juniors are insecure over their ability to deal with the increase in re- sponsibility that being a Senior brings. In addition, shortly the Seniors will be graduating and the Juniors must face the prospect of losing their friends and face having to fill their shoes. There is great concern over being able to live up to what is demanded of them. Most Juniors look forward to the future with ex- pectation and sentimentally into the past, but are, for the most part, happy with where they are. 119 Sophomore Class Officers: Willie Benson-President, Lindon Colley-Secretary, Leslie Burgess-Vice-President, and Kristy Littreal-Treasurer. Science Hill at Last It seemed like it would never happen but we are finally a part of Science Hill. We had a lot of preconceived ideas about what it would be like here. Some were right but many were wrong. We were surprised at the added freedom and responsi- bility given to students. Later we were confused over where this freedom ends and responsibility begins. Most were surprised that the teachers interact more with students on a personal basis. Nicknames for teachers were new and unheard of, such as; Mama Slaw ' Spunky, and Frau. Although the adjustments have been hard and our status has changed, almost every sophomore will agree he would rather be here. These adjustments are part of what makes Science Hill so special.

Most sophomores try to get as many required courses out of the way as early as pos- sible, leaving little room for free choice. Sophomores can be found in English, math, science P.E., and health. Sophomores feel boxed in .. To break the monotony of required courses. Many find relief in vocational skills classes, band, choir, or home-economics. Sometimes we don't think we will make it, but we have to keep on trying if we hope to graduate. 124 Mr. Corzine's Soph. Skills class really enjoy required classes.

A New Set of Rules The instant terror can be seen as students race to class. The dismay can be seen as students stare at unexcused admits. The reality that Science Hill has a new set of rules, gradually sinks in. Even though there are a lot of rules written in the student handbook, sometimes the most important rules we go by are unwritten. For Sophomores, often it seems that the up- perclassmen have a different set of rules. Most upperclassmen expect Sophomores to suddenly be very mature, when we just arrived from junior High. Hitting, punching and rowdy behavior are met with disgust by up- perclassmen, while at the same time, much of the same be- havior is observed from them. All these rules, written and unwritten, often bring resent- ment, and desire for revenge. Sophomores later grow into the feeling that they are really a part of Science Hill.

The interactions we have are different from any place else. There are so many opportunities here, they are almost endless. Tenth graders for the first time can drive, or have access to a car. Driving gives sophomores a new kind of freedom they never had before. Being able to drive also opens up a students social life. Also new classes and extracurricular activities help pass the time during our stay at Science Hill. When we graduate we will probably remember our out of school activities longer than our classes. 128 Science Hill's Newest students show their spirit.

A new relationship developed between the board and Dr. Ted Beach as the new superintendent established his administrative style. Changes occurred in the rela- tionship between the teachers and the school board as they'negotiated for a new teachers contract in ac- cordance with a new Tennessee law. After several years of turmoil the Johnson City school system is happy to have Dr. Ted Beach with his experience and commitment to education. Dr. Beach, a native of East Tennessee, came to Johnson City from South Carolina where he was Deputy Superintendent of Charleston County schools. He has held several su- perintendent positions and also has a strong back- ground in teaching and administration. Besides educa- tion he has had military experience in the Tennessee National Guard and the United States Army Reserves in which he has held all ranks to major. Dr. Beach has also been involved in many church and civic organizations. For the first time ever, teachers negotiated with the school board for a master contract. This contract spells out in detail the rights and responsibilities of teachers. Among other items, included in the 38 page contract are a formal grievence procedure and a salary schedule with equalized pay raises based on teaching experience. The contract also provides for methods of payment, insurance coverage and supplementary pay. In January, the board voted 4-3 in favor of the con- tract which was overwhelmingly ratified by the teach- ers in mid-December. The contract will remain in ef- fect until June 30, 1980 and will renew itself automatically for successive terms of one year or until a successor agreement has been negotiated and ratified. New relationships for the school board has meant several changes which will be for the betterment of the students.

Some Things Never Change On the surface it sometimes seems that the traditional classroom is a thing of the past, but at Science Hill you don't have to look very far to find classes that are exactly what you might expect them to be: neat, chairs in even rows, a lecture and then homework on the material covered and most importantly, a teacher who has complete control. In subjects that require putting across a large body of material, more traditional meth- ods are still considered most effective. Courses such as Math, Science, History all depend on textbooks and explanations of the material. Alumni of Science Hill could come back and feel comfortable in many of these classes. These methods have remained effective through the years in putting across factual material. 135 New Methods Introduced Within the last decade there has been a movement toward a more relaxed, more personal form of education. This new movement tries to relate to the lives of today's students by ex- perimenting with different teaching styles. Many teachers now try to individualize instruction. By working in small groups a teacher can recognize each student's personal needs and abili- ties. Before this approach can be successful there has to de- velop a mutual trust and acceptance between the teacher and the student, and also between the students themselves. Through sensitive classroom discussions and group work, trust and understanding grow. Not only is instruction more personalized making learning easier, but when students are required to interact with one an- other, barriers are often broken down and friendships are formed. Free time at the end of class gives students the opportunity for talking with their friends. Complicated machinery holds Keith Howard and Marvin Wilson's attention.

Who among us has not delighted in taking a teacher into tales of past experi- ences in order to delay an assignment or sidetrack a lecture. These tales pro- vide an important break from the pressures of class. These distractions from the everyday hum-drum allow the students to see the teachers from a more humanistic viewpoint. If the atmosphere is right, sto- ries can range from confessions of skipping school to the chaos of a wedding and almost anything in between. Sometimes stories are used just as a diversity but often they are used as an interesting way of illustrating an abstract idea. But despite the purpose of the occasional tales they are a welcome break for students and teachers alike Only a sucker will sweeten the tales Tammy Brown has to listen to. Nothing bothers Rusty Buck while reading Playboy's lively fifth anniversary issue. Only a yawn could express Susan Rouanzion's true feelings while listening to one of Mr. Case's stories. A story must be good to leave Mitzi Theis speechless. 139 When we first entered elementary school, our teachers were some of the most authoritive figures in our life. As the years passed, this relationship re- mained the same with a large gap between us and our teachers. It was not until our high school years that the gap in maturity began to close. Now we can see our teachers as more human and our relationship with them as a little more, personal and informal. Most teachers and students would probably agree that the student- teacher relationship has an affect on how well a student does in a course. Many teachers at Science Hill are willing to join in student activities in an attempt to break down existing barriers. This extra activity is often enjoyable and gives the teachers a sense of unity with other faculty members. Often if teacher-student barriers are broken, students can then begin to see their teachers as just people with more education, experience, and maturity. This could lead students to seek help from their teachers about problems they need help with. While the age of a strict, traditional student-teacher relationship has been gone for several years, remnants of it still remain in classroom situations. The dawn of a new decade may mean the beginning of a whole different rela- tionship with many perceived barriers gone and warmer personal relation- ships formed.

Support Personnel Aide In Educational Process Only a snack can drag Beverly White away from work. Checking over the card catalog, Mrs. Croy and Mrs. Huskey work hard keeping everything in order. Schedule changes leave Mary Lou Hammer exhausted. By the time a student graduates from Science Hill he has received a lot of indi- vidual instruction from teachers and counselors. The time the teachers spend in- structing classes and individuals would not be possible without the aides, secre- taries, graders, and food and maintenance workers which form the support personnel. These people are an important part of the educational process be- cause they free teachers to do what they are paid to do-teach. Support personnel perform many different kinds of services which help both teachers and students. Most students, during high school, will receive some kind of help or individual attention from a support worker. English graders spend hours pouring over composition assignments and language aides help operate equip- ment for individual usage. Also aides for deaf students take notes in classes for deaf students. This help to students and teachers is needed to insure every stu- dent the amount of attention needed for a good education. In the past, morale has been low because of a lack of a consistent policy con- cerning support personnel. Some workers who play an important part in the op- eration of the school receive inadequate payments for their relative ability. A school board appointed committee is currently investigating policies governing salaries, fringe benefits, and vacations of the non-certified employees. Soon a consistent and equitable policy should be formulated. 143 'rwr Time in the library is one way to avoid the pressure of class as Reberta Hyder finds.

We can apply it to our lives as students at Science Hill. Out of a mass of fairly ordinary people come some very extraordinary experiences and happy times. We will remember the struggle for a decent parking place, last minute cramming for a big test, long hours of practice for choir and band perfor- mances, and as seniors making preparations throughout the year for graduation. All these will stand out when we look back and remember the ups and downs of our Science Hill years. Talking with her hands, Janet Watlington subtly expresses her concern.

As changes occur throughout the country, these changes bring about changes in our school. A turning point seems evident in the economy, in decisions passed down by the Supreme Court, and in the demands made by society on graduates. These changes have an impact on our school. Changes in the economy, such as increased inflation, have hit Science Hill forcing us to cut back in certain areas. And as the courts review laws pertaining to equal education for all students, we have found the need to expand our curriculum. As values change in society new courses emerge. Our state legislature also demands that graduates are able to read and work basic math. These outside influences have forced Science Hill to face many new and important turning points from our traditions. Enjoying a few minutes to talk to friends Jackie Miller waits for school to start. Courses Geared to Meet Changes in Lifestyle As society has become increasingly complex, old values, standards, and ways of life have been challenged. Today's generation must face a host of problems totally alien to past decades. The young adult today will face a world where technology has assumed a new role in everyday life. In ad- dition, no longer will traditional roles be accepted without question. The 1980's have ushered in a new decade of in- creased awareness and consciousness-raising. Science Hill's curriculum has tried to accomodate these changes by providing classes geared to meet these new trends. Classes such as Current Events, Minority History and Women in Literature examine ever-changing contemporary values. Other classes such as Computer Programming and Radio and Television Production are designed to keep up with our technological advances. These introductions to Science Hill's standard course offerings are essential if educators are to prepare students for the uncertain future ahead. A University of Tennessee English course is brought to Dina Kaousias via an electronic television system. To prepare for a society in which technology will figure prominently, Carl- ton Greenlee must skill himself in basic electronics. During inflationary times learning how to manage a household economi- cally will prove beneficial to Darcie Lawson and Valerie Byrd. 14� Contemporary moral and social issues are confronted and challenged in Mrs. Transou's Current Events class. Emily Sullivan helps out by adorning the bulletin board. There appears to be an obvious segregation of the sexes in Mrs. Odoms Women's Literature class. This class examines the roles of women throughout his- tory, as seen through literature. An updated computer center at Science Hill has provided David Givens with an outlet for learning new computer skills. 149 Changes in Economy Bring on New Changes in Classroom Due to changes in the economy, the Johnson City school system has suffered a cutback of a half of a million dollars that had been previously allocated. The outcome of this action has re- sulted in the elimination of two positions and classes that had originally been designed to counteract the problem of overcrowding at Science Hill. Temporal measures have been employed to ease the problem of space and lack of materials in the school. These include the use of floating classrooms and teachers. In addi- tion it has necessitated that several teachers must share the same books due to an inadequate sup- ply of materials. The problem of overcrowding this year has been brought on largely by the increased expan- sion of the Texas Instruments and I.T.T. facilities. With the tremendous economic and civic growth occuring in Johnson City and surround- ing areas, this region has attracted a large num- ber of new residents from other states. This has led to a subsequent increase in student enroll- ment at Science Hill School, administrators re- port a significant increase of students, up slightly over past years. Sharing materials is not unusual for Jay Lam and Mark Hopkins. Floating teacher, Mrs. Woods, waits for her traveling books and students to arrive. For a special presentation, Bobby Ryans shows a Widget to his Economics class, a class where overcrowding is a defi- nite problem. 150 An inadequate supply of text books has forced four teachers to share the traveling stack of Science books. A crowded class alters the type of learning atmosphere present in Mr. Case's Biology class. A shortage of classroom space has forced the Hilltop room to be shared with Mr. Brewer's history class. 151 Under the guidance of Ms. Janet Thompson, the V.A.P. students discuss better methods of communicating with others in their Communication Skills class. . The Resource Room, an essential part of the Special Ed. program allows Tony Fox to gain insight into special problems through the help of Mrs. Leach. With the help of Ms. Kelly and the mainstreaming program, Mary Monta- gue is able to achieve her full academic potential. Supplementary materials provided through the Resource Room allow Bobby Singleton to develop better English Skills with the help of Mrs. Slawson. The Computerized Reading Room gives Kenny Harville an opportunity to improve his reading abilities. 152 School Changes To Meet Special Students Needs In years past the special needs of special students have often not been fully met within the school system. Science Hill has attempted to accomodate these students in various ways so that they might be able to fully function within the regular classes with as little diffi- culty as possible. One program recently instituted at Science Hill is the Mainstreaming Program. This pro- gram falls under the department of Special Education and is designed to help students with particular learning difficulties. Currently enrolled in the Mainstreaming program are some thirty students who are often very gif- ted, but need special tutoring in areas in which they encounter difficulties. The aim of the program is to blend these students into regular classes and to help them perform bet- ter in their classwork. Under the coordination of Mrs. Leach in the Resource Room, Ms. Kelly in the Deaf Education program, Ms. Thompson and Ms. Taylor in the V.A.P. pro- gram, the Mainstreaming program has proved a great success. This program has had many positive benefits in that it provides the stu- dents with a chance to become a regular part of school life. While each department remains separate in function and design, they all em- ploy Mainstreaming as a way of helping stu- dents reach their full potential. Mainstreaming is only one effort to help special students pursue their education at Science Hill. A peaceful moment on campus gives Julie Barnes a chance to reflect over the long hard day. 153 New Law Changes Emphasis Several years ago a bill was enacted by the Tennessee Legislature that required a standardized test to be passed by high school students in order to graduate. The Basic Skills Proficiency Test covers basic math and English skills. The class of 1982 will be the first class affected by the new law. The test is to be given to this class and every class afterwards. Students will have three opportunities to pass this test, in the spring of their Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. A pre-test was given to our Sophomore class (class of 1982) in the eighth grade at Liberty Bell to identify defi- ciencies in certain subject areas. Out of approximately four hundred students, two hundred and seventy failed to pass the test. This indicated a need for a new empha- sis in basic skills. As a result, math and English classes have placed greater emphasis on the areas covered by the Proficiency Test. Through this change in academic priorities, educators hope to improve the abilities of stu- dents graduating from high school. Part of the fun of learning is playing games such as grammar base- ball , as illustrated by Mrs. Session's Sophomore English Skills class. The development of basic skills by Todd Adams is essential to both ac- ademic and vocational careers. 154 Learning to master basic English skills is of top priority to Mrs. Mac- Neil's Sophomore English class. The Sophomore English Skills class, taught by Mrs. Slawson, empha- sizes the ability to work together effectively to learn English. 155 He Was Our Friend The death of Mr. Paul Slonaker, principal of Science Hill for 17 years, left a profound sadness, for we lost more than an adminis- trator-we lost a friend. This loss will be felt in different ways be- cause he was many things to many people. His support for athletics was well-known. He did not miss a regular season football game in 27 years. He believed in the value of athletics and always placed his support behind our teams. He supported a strong academic program. No one could have expressed more pride than Paul Slonaker when our contestants returned from academic competition with Top Honors. One of the highlights of his year was the Honors Banquet given for the top ten percent of the senior class and their parents. The value of extracurricular activities was recognized by Mr. Slonaker. He believed strongly that some of the most effective education occurs outside the classroom. He encouraged the ac- tivities of the musical, drama, and other school organizations and enjoyed watching the good come out in young people as they worked together. Any former annual staff member knew the excitement and joy the arrival of the Wataugan brought him. Sometimes, we smiled and said it was like a new toy for him. We remember with grat- itude the year the yearbook was delayed, and he drove 10 hours so the students could have at least one day to sign yearbooks. As students sat in the quadrangle happily signing yearbooks, he said, I have never seen a prettier sight. While all of us experienced his tough side and quickly learned who was in command, many also experienced his compassionate side. Paul Slonaker was determined that no student should go through the day hungry, and made a point to see that no student should have to experience fear at Science Hill. He understood tragedy and grief and quietly stood by stricken students and fac- ulty members, lending his strength and understanding. The desire to bring a part of nimself and his past experiences into his work was well known. Few ever escaped nis office without his saying Sit down, let me tell you about...... He would then begin a story of his garden, or a story of his adored family. Through these stories, subtly but pleasantly we knew who was in control . Through the 9 years as a teacher, and the 17 years as principal, few ever doubted his integrity or his deep commitment to his family, to his school, to his country, or to Cod. This sense of commitment carried over to all those he worked with. We can go forward (for he did not build his power around himself—a tribute to his skills as an administrator), but we will miss him, because he was our friend. 156 157 158 The difference between an ordinary school and an out- standing one is the quality of the organizations within it. An or- dinary school has clubs which sponsors activities for its own members, but as we look to the 1980's, we want more. Unlike any other year, our organizations have reached out beyond themselves. Many have sponsored sock hops and other activities for the total school. Others have sponsored many community projects bringing the school and community together in good will. As we interact with each other we not only gain valuable leadership experience and form friendships, but we also work to make this an outstanding school.

Mr. Shanks had pulled the choir together during the 1979-80 year. The choir has been involved in many appearances this year, including singing at the Thanksgiving ceremony, the Christmas concert, their first variety show, and singing for First Lady, Rosalynn Carter. The choir participated in several fund raising activi- ties in order to take a major trip in the spring.

Beta Members Value Achievement Perhaps the most unusual school-sponsored club at Science Hill is the Beta Club. This club is limited to students with a 3.5 grade point average or better. The Beta Club is comprised of seventy-one mem- bers who work hard at expanding their academic goals, not necessarily to beocme educational ge- niuses, but to prepare them for the adult world. The club participated in several fund raising projects such as ticket sales for the Animal Welfare League and a summer car wash. The money from the fund raising goes into a trust fund for a scholarship for one or more Senior Beta Club members. In addition to having at least a 3.5 grade point aver- age or above, one must be either a Junior or a Senior in order to be a member of the Beta Club, which is sponsored by Mrs. Carol Bowman. 167 Best Overall For the past four years. Science Hill's ROTC has earned the Best Overall Award. This award is given only to the top 5% of the jROTC units in the country. It is based on a annual inspection. The annual inspection reflects the excellence worked for by the students and the instructors. The skills which the jROTC cadets learn are: manual drill- ing, reading maps, using rifles, administering first aid, and leadership development. As students gain proficiency, they are given the opportu- nity to teach, assist, and lead fellow cadets which gives them responsibility and experience. Primary Staff—1st Row—B.

Jones, K. Hampton, S. Diehl. Thanks to students, who give up their spare time to help teachers with absentees, library work, stage equipment, and cafeteria maintenance the teachers and administrators can devote more time to the actual running of the school. However, it is a thankless job. Teachers are often upset at office workers when they come around, students are also not really ap- preciative of the students who have to go around after them and put away the library books or clean up the dishes in the cafeteria. Though performing thankless tasks, students do learn responsibility and skills in public relations which may prove invaluable in their futures. 171 Stage Crew-T. Shepherd, T. Elliot, B. Moss.

For entertainment at the Weinachsfest, the German Club enlisted the help of its talented instrumentalists, Dana Gobble, Melanie Mauldin, Ellen Tucker, and Roberta Lawson. Many hours of preparation by Susie Caldwell, Richard Hulse, and Mrs. Christa Hungate are necessary in makin the traditional German dinner. Clad in traditional Dirndl dresses and Lederhosen, the German dancers re- flect the many hours of practice necessary for a performance. Brad Moorehouse, |an Owens, and Kristy Unreal take a moment out from the eve- ning's festivities to play a German game. Mr. Ted Beach, superintendant of Johnson City schools, and his wife are served a tradi- tional German meal at the Weinachsfest by Mike Evans. Nancy Barrow and Kelly Moore twirl to strains of festive German reels. A Taste of the Old World To foster a greater sense of German culture for German students while pro- viding an outlet for many enjoyable activities, the German Club sponsors danc- ing, cooking and many festivities. German Club kicked off the year with a campout at Warrior's Path State Park after attending the Science Hill-Tennesse High football game, the club came back to the camp for an evening of fun highlighted by a blazing campfire and a dance. As the Christmas season approached, the German Club once again spon- sored its annual Weinachsfest Dinner. This year's dinner featured an evening of singing, folk-dancing and festive German cooking. This dinner attracted a large group of people and proved a great success. Probably the single most important event each year for the German Club is the Fruhlingsfest held in the spring of every year. This year's Fruhlingsfest will be held at ETSU and will attract some five hundred German students from across the state of Tennessee. These students congregate every year and con- tests are held to see which school is most proficient in certain German related skills, including cooking, folk-dancing, German poetry reading, German ex- temporaneous speaking, and various athletic activities such as Fussball (soc- cer) and volleyball. With its many activities the German Club has once again upheld its long tra- dition as an active, popular club at Science Hill. 173 French Club: T.Abemethy, D.

The Rise of Old Rome Roman Life and History is studied by Science Hill's Latin Club, comprised of 26 members. These students meet weekly and the students themselves conduct programs on Roman civilization. The Latin Club, spon- sored by Mrs. Helen Blocker, is affiliated with the Ten- nessee and national Latin organizations, or the Na- tional Junior Classic League. They receive The Torch a monthly newspaper published with the League. This year's Latin students plan to attend a regional meeting at Dobyns-Bennett in Kingsport, and a state convention at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Also, they hope to send some students to the National Ju- nior Classic League meeting at UT-Knoxville. In addi- tion, the Latin club has had several parties, such as their Christmas party and a Saturnalia party, which is a traditional Roman holiday. Latin Club Members: Front row; V. Cheek, M.

These students push their Latin books with their noses as punishment for not following instructions. 17f ' FCA Builds Values The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is designed to better relationships between athletes and their coaches, their friends, family, themselves, and God. The FCA is not a strictly religious group but a light-hearted approach to Christianity and is open to all students, not just athletes. The FCA, along with Mr. Vincent Dial, sponsor, went on their annual visit to the Colonial Hills Nursing Home for a Christmas party. The club officers are Alan Dulaney, President; john Hoynacki, Vice-President; Phil Tickle, Treasurer; and Heidi Becker, Secretary. FCA members: Mr. Vincent Dial, Sponsor; M. Flaherty, L. Powell, T.

This past year the group sponsored a dis- advantaged family. They provided the family with Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets as well as donating toys for the children of the family. The elderly of the community benefited from the club's activities this year. The club visited area nursing homes and adopted a friend. As well as regularly vis- iting these elderly, the club provided friendship to other- wise lonely people. And, this year the club sponsored a Christmas bazaar. 177 Student Government Builds A Sense of Community Student Government has discovered a renewed interest at Science Hill this year. For the first time in many years more than one person ran for a student council office. In previous years, persons ran for offices without opponents. The new interest may be attributed to the realization that stu- dents can contribute ideas to the administration, and the administration cares what the student think. With this transfer of ideas, problems can be solved. The Student Government has performed many services for the com- munity as well as the student body. The Thanksgiving program as in pre- vious years was sponsored by the Student Government. Food and money for the purchase of turkeys were contributed by the students. The baskets were then distributed to needy families of Johnson City. With the com- bined efforts of the students and the administration the Thanksgiving pro- gram was a success. In December, Science Hill sponsored a Red Cross Bloodmobile. With a goal of 50 units, a total of 68 units was donated by students and faculty. Although most people were nervous, they found that giving blood was not as painful as anticipated. One of the most popular fund raising activities of the Student Govern- ment were dances. By sponsoring three dances, the Student Government raised money for school projects and at the same time provided enter- tainment for the student body. By providing opportunities to work together and have fun together, the Student Government helps bring a sense of community to the school. Addressing the student body, at the Thanksgiving program is an function for Pres- ident, Todd Lowe. Student Government Members: Sponsor: Mr. Mauldin, Allen Higgins, Elizabeth Vogt, Dawn Raymond, Velma Murphy, Sherri Bacon, Tonya El- liott, Eileen Benner, Ed Brading, Renee Soppet, Todd Lowe, Tracy Yates, Kelly Morgan, Kristy Unreal, Linden Colley, Leslie Burgess, Marcie Middleton, Tona Scott, Sandy Bacon, Sarah Sessions, Pauline Douglas, Kat Peeler, Willie Benson. Student Government Officers: Sarah Sessions Sec., Curtis Young V. Pres., Todd Lowe Pres., Pauline Douglas Treas. 178 Giving Mood does have its benefits for Greg Ricker and Troy Hundley. Peg Rodenfels and Jimmy Wilson enjoy a slow dance at a St. Gov't sponsored dance. To help reach the goal of 50 units, Tonya Elliott, Steve Oakes and Steve Reed contribute their blood. Many embarrassing questions are asked of Denise Anderson before giving blood. Generosity of the students is shown by the numer- ous Thanksgiving baskets. 179 HILLTOP Undergoes Changes The Science Hill newspaper, HILLTOP, involved many changes this year. Due to Mrs. Morgan, the sponsor, having to teach an English skills class, the Hilltop was published by the journalism I class for the first semester. During the second semester, however, HILLTOP was again published by the Journalism II class. The high quality of journalism was maintained throughout the changes. Writing news stories, feature stories, comic strips, entertain- ment, features, and taking photographs give the students an in- depth insight on the publication of a newspaper. Editor Sherry Bacon dictates information to Starlene Casey, advertising manager and typist. Cartoonist and reporter Kenny McArthur works on an assignment as Troy Hun- dley, advertising, watches.

These are just some of the qualities that DECA tries to give its members. Their main projects this year are the DECA contests, the re- gional contest will be held at the University of Tenn. Deca contestants hope to attend the State contest in Nashville, and the national contest, held this June in Miami Beach. DECA is also involved in the community. This Thanksgiving they distributed baskets to the nursing homes. The group is also involved in shoplifting prevention. Through DECA, members gain valuable insight into the world of business.

This year several fund-raising activi- ties which included a VICA dance and a popularity contest were sponsored by the club. Other activities included a VICA state competition which was held in March. VICA, which stands for Vocational Industrial Clubs of Amer- ica, is a national organization for youth enrolled in trade and industrial, technical, and health education classes. The purpose of the club is to develop leadership abilities while emphasizing dignity of work, education, and high moral and spiritual standards. At Science Hill VICA which has approximately 350 members is working hard to improve its format and increase member- ship. The club's ultimate goal is to better prepare more stu- dents for their future vocation. VICA AM:). Barnes, C. Trentham, A. Hall, M. Ray, C. Burleson, L. McFeature, P. Hamilton, J. Anderson, B.

This year's Wataugan staff put in the usual hard hours that are required for a quality yearbook. Be- tween the necessary days taken away from the Christmas vacation, snow days, and endless Satur- day mornings there was a general feeling in the staff room that the final deadline would never be met. But despite the unavoidable delays and some gen- eral fooling around, the impossible was accom- plished and the deadline was me. Flow the annual staff reserves the right to have a mass nervous breakdown. Planning their selling tactics are advertisors C.R. Trammell, Tracy Yates, and John Speropulus. Sharing with Walter Weikel the most recent sophomore joke on lone sophomore staff member, Willie Benson, are Heidi Be- cker before getting back to work. A joint effort by Scott Williams and Kelly Morgan eases the work load. A brief moment of leisure is taken by Richard Andro and Heidi Becker before getting back to work. Despite the atmosphere of mass confusion, Elizabeth Vogt and Denise Anderson manage to get some serious work done. 189 Admiration shows during pop rallies over impressive athletic records. Senior football players and their parents are honored in the E T S U Dome by Superintendent of schools. Dr. Ted Beach, and Mr. Slonaker. A Loyal supporter, Mr. john Howren, gives recognition to the football team for their outstanding season. 190 Supported by the business community students at Science Hill have increased opportunities for em- ployment and the chance to get a sample of the life most of us will enter into after graduation. Without community support, most sports and school organizations would fold. As we move into this new decade, we appreciate the cooperation of the community with Science Hill which makes many good programs possible. Local businesses who hire work study students provide on-the- job training for students like Christy Cannon at the Tennis Patch.

Some of the projects the club was involved with were: raising money for the Cancer Society, doing volunteer work for two United Way agencies- The Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse and the Red Cross. We also regularly visit and have parties for the Johnson City Senior Citizens and Range Hall. We give monthly support to help the refugee work done for the boat people of Cambodia. Along with winning the annual Powder-puff game, we raised $150 which was donated to the United Way agency. Op- timiss also sponsored the annual Sweetheart Dance.

This year Keyettes have served in distributing Thanksgiving baskets to the needy; visiting nursing homes; supporting the March of Dimes; and sponsoring an underpriviledged child with food, money, and clothing. Keyettes are assist- ing the Women's Club of johnson City in the community project Pitch In , which involves beautifying the land- scape and honoring certain businesses within the city. All money for projects was raised by selling doughnuts, working the concession stands at Freedom Hall, having raffles and car washes. The Keyettes also sponsored a spring dance. Besides knowing the satisfaction of helping our community, the club members also developed friendships and ties that will not easily be broken.

Our club has the honor of being the only club sponsored social service club in Science Hill. Civinettes principle goal is to help the people of our community, and we take many steps toward this goal by performing various services. During the summer, they put in over 315 hours of volunteer work at the Veterans Administration, and have continued their work through out the year. They also visited Colonial Hills Nursing Home regularly, including having Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day, and Easter parties. They also visited the WACARCA (group home for the mentally handicapped) on a regular basis. Another important goal of the jr. Civinettes is to de- velop leadership, understanding and iniative in its mem- bers. Three of our officers, Angelia Carter, President; Robin Day, Vice-President; and Dawn Raymond, Lieu- tenant Governor; attended Christian Civitan Camp in Cleveland, South Carolina this summer for this purpose. Besides attending various Johnson City churches each month they also sponsored a child from the Christians Childrens Fund, Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to two needy families. The United Way received $150 from the proceeds of OFFICERS: PRESIDENT—Angelia Carter, 1st VICE PRESIDENT-Robin Day, 2nd VICE PRESIDENT-Laura Granger, TREASURER-Robin Britton, RECORDING SECRETARY-Linda McFeature, CORRESPONDING SECRETARY-Beth Boyd, SARGEANT-AT-ARMS—Dawn Raymond, HISTORIAN—Amy Whitson, CHAPLIN—Margaret Wallace, DREA- MER—Fenton Budd, SPONSOR—Betsy Osborne. their annual powderpuff game. They also con- tributed $100 to the Steve Seward Memorial Fund, and $300 to the Association of Retarded Citizens. Although, Civinettes is not a school spon- sored club, we still had various activities for the school. Teacher Appreciation Week was held in September, and all the teachers were served refreshments daily and supplied with necessity boxes, winding down the week with a luncheon served in the cafeteria. The Fall Formal was a formal school dance held in No- vember, and proved to be very profitable. Other fund raisers that proved to be profit- able, and fun were car washes, donut sales, and Val-agrams that were sold during Febru- ary. They also had monthly birthday parties, a Halloween and Christmas party, and several Big Sis and Little Sis parties for the members. 215 24-20 BUT WE SURE DID KSOMA WISEMAN'S INC Route 2 Box 197 Johnson City, Tenn. 926-0691 Clothing for the family Compliment of THRIFTY MARKET (fresh Vegetables meat) 1406 Cherokee Road 926-1644 When 's Count Cox Oldsmobile Caddillac 3408 North Roan Count on Us 282-4811 PAWNBROKER Uncle Sams Loan Office 123 W.

Tony Z Zadach. Mark 18, 108 This last school year marked a Turning Point for all of us here at Science Hill. We discovered new things about our school, each other and ourselves. These realizations came to us in many ways. We experi- enced a new found sense of school unity and increased student parti- cipation and pride. Not only did we learn that we as individuals could grow and achieve our personal goals, we found that if we all work to- gether, we as a community of students could achieve goals together. Changing is the only thing that is certain in all of our lives, yet it is necessary if we are to grow as individuals. As the uncertain future un- folds before us, and we must step out into a world often of harsh reali- ties, let us remember Science Hill—a place and time when warmth and security was abundant.
