| Student Life H Trash is prevalent in Mike Muse’s locker. Sometimes lockers are so junky that a person must dig. Catch Locker-Mania As memories were stored in the minds of Science Hill students, per- sonal possessions were stored within our lockers. Locker upon locker lined the hallways and corridors of Science Hill, holding within them books, jackets, lunches, gym clothes, and various other arti- cles. Though our lockers were useful, somehow they were also, quite mo- notonous. Something was needed to break this continous procession of bright gold lockers. The solution to the problem was accomplished by locker decorating. Students on the hill strived to make theirs the one-in-a-million locker by the decorations they chose. By ex- ploring one's locker, a person could discover many things about a stu- dent’s true personality. Photos of rock groups and soap stars covered many lockers, while others tried to prove their academic interest” in bi- ology by pinning up pictures of their favorite anatomys. Along with displaying their personal- ities, locker decorating always showed school spirit. Topper Pride was widely displayed in a variety of ways. Pins, posters, and banners, covered the doors and walls of many lockers. This not only added to the attractiveness of one’s locker, but also gave a feeling of home. Most students chose to share a lock- er with a friend and note pads or cork boards were needed as a means of communication between classes. Although lockers were both entertain- ing to decorate and uniquely our own, they were something without which we would not have survived as they were necessary to store our belong- ings.

Student Life Topper Spirit Winner of “Best Costume” on Maroon and Gold day, Dusty Barnett, is all for the Toppers. Bleachers are packed with enthusiastic students awaiting the beginning of a pep rally. Who's that masquerading underneath those pom poms? —The Best Yet Science Hill never had it so good! At least that was what the students, fac- ulty, parents, football and basketball teams, and anybody else, either di- rectly or indirectly, involved with Sci- ence Hill High School thought. Truly he 1983-84 school year was one to 3 looked back upon with fond re- ■emberance. It was the year that everyone be- came involved! Spirits were high and fun was at a max. The Pep Club, Cheerleaders, Student Government Association, Faculty, and even the Cafeteria staff all played important roles in making our school one of the best! Remember Pep Rallies? The school that had long been known as “Si- lence” Hill as far as school spirit was concerned finally took on the name it should have always had. Many of us referred to it as “Spirit Hill and ex- pressed this abundance of spirit at pep rallies and ballgames. Who could forget the Bunny Hop? With all of the spirit we had, this delightful dance be- came a very big hit with the students. Long lines were formed and soon the gym floor was hopping with enthusi- astic Toppers. Another spirit raiser was the unveiling of Science Hill’s own mascot, HOG. Oinks and squeals were heard above the stu- dents’ laughter and enthusiasm as our own Head Hog, Coach Martin, pulled the pig out on the gym floor. This was all new and exciting to us as sophomores, juniors, and even sen- iors, but perhaps one of the biggest surprises the student body received was the TOTAL involvement of the Science Hill faculty. Many teachers participated in the activities mainly designed for students such as Ma- roon and Gold Day, 50’s Day, and Homecoming Week. Even the cafete- ria staff worked extra hard at raising spirit by brightly decorating the lunch- room with streamers and balloons. Probably enjoyed most by the stu- dents was the TOPPER mannequin the staff kept dressed with the chang- ing moods and styles of the students and the school year. As our year at school came to a close, we realized just how good it had been. Student Life 17
