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

Student Life These students thrive on the social aspect of lunch rather than the nourishing side. Pizza is the favorite of Kris Fields. Catching up on the latest gossip are Mary Beth Gibson and Lisa Miller. Tavern on Everyday at 11:00, 11:30, and 12:00, there never failed to be a mad dash through the hallways and across the schoolyard at Science Hill. What ever brought on this daily occur- rence many people never understood. Only those students who actually par- ticipated in the marathon knew the reason behind this strange and super- natural phenomenon. It was lunch- time! Yes, this was the time when students, and teachers alike, strangely trans- formed themselves into the curly- tailed, snouted animal, most common- ly called a pig. Certainly, we all saw this very evident in Coach Voitlein’s sea-food platters. During this brief, but vital thirty minute period, one could find many different things peo- ple chose to do with or without food. For instance, the majority of students at Science Hill stood in, most often, very long lines to purchase their the Hill lunch, which to most of us consisted of pizza, fries, and chocolate milk. After choking this down, many of us lingered in the cafeteria, talking, gos- siping, and mostly preparing our- selves to once again face the trying academic world. Others of us pre- ferred to stand outside after lunch, either with a small group of friends or a large circle of which laughter and jokes were very much a part. Still, yet, there were other students who chose not to eat lunch at all. They, instead, sat on benches outside and enjoyed the peace and quiet, or spent lunchtime on the telephone with a sick friend, who was unable to at- tend school that day. It didn’t matter what we chose to do with those few minutes known as lunch, just as long as we were able to enjoy a brief intermission from the academic world. Student Life 19
