The class of 1960 moved into the newly built school in january of 1960. In celebration ofa quarter century, we present a 24 Carat Gold yearbook. How does 24 carat gold relate to our school and community? It relates to Smyrna in many ways. Twenty-four carat gold is valu- able and precious and a symbol of richness, wealth, and success. Quality and excellence are oken represented by the precious metal. Gold at one time even created boomtowns. In many ways Smyrna is a boomtown. With the opening of the Datsun plant Nissan, a chain reaction of businesses opening has spurred growth. Bridgestone has offered job opportunities to the Smyrna-La Vergne com- munity. The opening of restaurants, such as Pepperoni 's Playhouse, Bonanza, McDonald 's, Hardeeis, The Electric Scene, Pibza Hut, and Taco Bell, provided many golden opportuni- ties to Smyrna students. All in all 1984 is a 24 carat gold year for Smyrna. Opening Section 24 CARAT GOLD DL ST t CHEVROLET I , -iwc... Sign ofthe Times.

By the time students become seniors, the bonds between them may be as strong as gold. When the students lea ve, many may become life- time triends. Seniors have bonds between themselves and the school and teachers that they will be lea vrng, Teachers form bonds with their students and other members of the staff .Sopho- mores begin to form new bonds with school as that bulldog spirit is emblazoned into their hearts and souls. Team mem- bers must form ties of reliance and loyalty in order to perform to the best of their ability. All students rely on their hzmilies for strength and encour- agement from time to time. All of these bonds are important to our school, homes, and community. Even when we as students must lea ve, the ties that we have formed while here shall be cherished forever. Opening Section Pure As Gold The gymnasium was filled with cheering, screaming bulldog hns as the clock clicked down the final seconds ofthe game. The buzzer rang, and Smyrna High School was in ecstasy again at victory.' We at Smyrna High are proud of our school and express it in many ways. Our cheerleaders, Pep Club, and mascots help excite the purple and gold spirit in the 1,154 teen-agers enrolled in our school. Posters, banners, buttons, spirit sticks, shirts, and jackets displayed throughout the school and wherever we go show the public how much we believe in our school. Paw Power is a term we use to describe the awesome spirit and unity created when our school acts as one, standing behind the teams through all situations. Students' participation, however, is not limited to sports, Our clubs are very active in making the school year enjoyable for the students. Togethetness, loyalty, and spirit play a big part in this. In one form or another, each student expresses that bull- dog spirit in his own way. Opening Section McDonald's.

The junior year is complete. The new seniors think the worst is over. However, they soon realrke that the ultimate challenge lies ahead and there is no escaping the terror that lies in store for them. The inevitable term paper - this is just another one of the many firsts each high school senior must encounter. First of all, the senior must decide on a topic that interests him. Next, the student must find sources, write the paper, and then type it or pay someone to do the job for him. Still the worst part of all in many students' opinion is the oration of the speech in Hont of the class and teacher. These are just a few of the traumatic experiences a senior must deal with while writing his term paper. When the research is completed and the trn1e comes for organization, he is on the verge ofpanicking. With only a month to write his first term paper, there seem to be endless pressures. After painstaking thought and many nights of burning the midnight oil, the senior hands in the completed paper. Filled with many doubts and rnsecuritres, he eagerly awaits a grade. Aker he has his grade, he either sighs or cries, but all that remains of the carefully compiled term paper are the ashes that smolder in the senior English teachers' fireplaces.

CHERISHED MEMORIES Forget Them ot The time has come for the 1984 seniors to go their separate ways. This time is hlled with excitement but ,also with a bit of reluctance. As the seniors reflect on their past school days, they remember the special people, places, and times which were impor- tant to them. Graduation - the major milestone ofa senior's life . . . as each student steps across the stage at Murphy Center to receive his diploma, the senior feels a variety of mixed emotions. He feels a sense of satisfaction and elation at having accomplished a seem- ingly endless task. However, the senior may also feel sadness, for he may never see some of these people again. Anticipating graduation, the senior's mind is Hlled with memo- ries of football games, the class clown, club activities, bulldog spirit, fund raisers, arrival of class rings and senior pictures, both bad and good times, and the special Hiends who made the days a little shorter. The senior then realiaes the importance of memories and knows that they must never be forgotten. Twenty-four Carat Gold memories last a lifetime. Seniors PREPARATIO FOR THE FUTURE Seniors Look Ahead Much ofa seniors trnze is devoted to preparing himself for the future. Doing this involves selecting courses which will help one in college, taking the American College Test, working part-time to prepare one's self for assuming future responsibilities, and deciding which college he will attend. A wide variety of courses is offered to the senior class. Physics is a science that deals with energy. In this class, seniors learn many equations involving gravity, acceleration, velocity, distance, time, and mass. An- other class which is popular with seniors is trigonometry with the second semester being advanced math. Trigonometry in volves many complex functions and their properties. The computer math class studies BASIC a computer language, and learns the fundamentals of programming. These courses are just a few of the many that are available to S.I-IS, seniors. One of the steps that a student must take along the road to college is the completion of some form of a college admissions test. The most popular is the American College Test, oEen referred to as the ACT. The composite score that a student makes on this test indicates his academic skills and abilities in four basic areas - English, mathematics, social studies, and the natural sciences. The ACT provides helpful information to colleges looking for students with strong academic potential. In addition to school work, many seniors also have part-time jobs. Many students work because of the need or because of the want for extra spending money. Having a part-time job can prepare a senior for the future by teaching the student to be a more responsible, mature person. Also, students can find jobs more easily now that Smyrna has developed into a prosperous town. Of course, there are many important questions that a student must answer in preparation for his future: Will I live at home or on campus? What do I want to do for the rest of my life? These are just a few ofthe worries hced by the members of the 1984 graduating class. Hopefully, each student will Race these questions and his future confidently and can accomplish his dreams of personal success. l Summing It Up.

The study of American history requires the remembrance ofrrnportant dates, such as july 4 1776 and the details of important battles, such as the Battle of Gettysburg, and the Battle ofLex1ng- ton and Concord. The juniors also study famous Presidents and soldiers, such as Andrew jackson and Paul Revere, and famous inventors and business men, such as Thomas Edison, Andrew Carnegie, and Alexander Graham Bell. Some of the history classes are required to com- plete an American history project. Others are re- quired to do research on an important figure in our country's history and relay the information discov- ered to the class in an oral report.

Some of the questions that lie in the back of an apprehensive sophomore 's mind include: Will I Ht rn? What wzll be expected of me? Will I make it to class on time? Will I ever learn my typing keys?

This move to Smyrna High School is a major step for a Heshman. For most sophomores, the fear, the joy, and the dismay are there to accompany this transition. The fear of the unknown rs foremost in the minds of these new students. They End that life at S.I-LS. is very different Horn the routine found at their respective junior high schools. The newcomers also End themselves establishing new triendships as the students trom the two schools merge to become one single unit. In a short period of time, the Roy Waldron Lakers and the Thurman Francis Rams join to support the Smyrna Bulldogs. This transformation from rivals to classmates builds a strong and united class that beneHts Smyrna High School in many ways.

The courses that they select now will be the founa dation upon which they may have to build their future lives, A sophomore must also de- cide what clubs he wants to join, in what school functions he wishes to participate, and, in general, what preparation he needs to fur- ther his goals in life, Luckily, many sophomores do not ha ve ro Ezce these major decisions alone. Some are fortunate enough to have an older brother, sister, or Riend to help them with difficult choices and challenges. These older students can oHen offer helpful advice because many of them have experienced the same problems as sophomores. Hopefully, their guidance will help the sophomores realrae their goals and take the necessary steps to accomplish them, Die-a -gramming Dilemma.

Some of these clubs include Beta Club, Mu Alpha Theta, the math honor society, Beta Epsilon, the English honor societyg and the National Honor Society Another area available for sophomore participation involves S.HS. 's athletic programs.

LVJ MARK PICKEL and KELLY FERRBLL BULLDOG TALE A Talented Trio Ronnie Cox, a senior, David Miller, a junior, and Shelly Cox, a sophomore, are the musically talented members ofthe group, The Young Blades of Bluegrass. These three met at a bluegrass festival in Ohio in 1979, and they ha ve now been a band for five years. During this short period of time, they ha ve experienced a great deal of success. The group has performed on the Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters Show, Grand Ole Opry, Ralph Em- ery Show, and the Carl Tipton Show. They performed with Barbara Mandrell in Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe during the summer. In August, they taped an HBO performance at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville. Their career has included two performances in Alaska in concert. The group has also played with top celebrities such as Bob Hope, Conway Twitty, Ricky Skaggs, Bill Monroe, Marty Robbins, and Mel Tillis. In 1980, the Young Blades won the Ohio State Governors Award for their contribution to the state in the field of entertainment. This was the first time in the thirty-one year history of the award that young people had ever received this honor. Many of the songs performed by the group are written by the group 's members. Ronnie Cox plays ban jo, Da vid Miller plays mandolin and does a major portion ofthe lead singing, and Shelly Cox plays upright bass which makes up for the lack of a guitar. This group is an example of the Twenty- Four Carat Gold talent possessed by the members of Sm yr- na High School. Returning Home. One of the highlights for any performer is returning to play for the home folks. The Young Blades did just that when they performed for the magazine drive assembly.

A recent study has shown that the causes of this disease are many and varied and oken mysterious. Some of the known causes include the enjoyment of challenge, a desire to achieve the highest score, and plain boredom.

Since the students have to 'live in these lockers for one whole school year, they strive to make them appear more like home. Some students put shelves in their lockers. Many students individualize their lockers by decorating them with wrapping paper, pictures of Hiends, memo boards, note pads, wall to wall magazine clippings of the latest teen idols, mirrors, stickers, and sou- venirs hom concerts of their fa - vorite rock groups. Since each student is different and unique in his own way, each locker at S.H.S. portrays the individuality of its owner. nlvxn ill t 1 if x .1 .. Weaa .

Student Life , WEEKE D FEVER --l Life After School The lik- of a Smyrna High School student includes by lar more than just classwork, lec- tures, and homework. Many students work aket school and on weekends. Trying to bal- ance a homework load and a job around school becomes very drfhcult at times, but students somehow seem to manage. Some students work because ofthe needg others, for the extra spending money. Another way to spend one's weekend is with ones grrlhriend or boyhtiend. Friday and Saturday night dates are almost sacred for some students. Ballgames and parties are also big events during a students busy weekend. Going out with hiends aher the ballgames is X. another popular activity. Whth the growth of Smyrna, students now have more places to go on the weekends. k Restaurants such as Pepperoni's Playhouse, The Electric Scene, Pizza Hut, McDonalds, s Hardee's, Bonanza, Taco Bell,kand Captain D's offer Smyrna students a wider variety of food ' than ever found in Smyrna before.

The students proHt one wa y or another Hom the money raised by these fundraisers. The largest is the school wide magazine drive. The paved parking lot, many air condi- tioners, and the paving in the back of the school are just a few ofthe many improvements that have been made through the money Hom this drive. Clubs also need fundraisers in or- der to pay for Held trips and necessary supplies. Sports teams need funds for new equipment, uniforms, and other essential items. The band and cheer- leaders also need funds throughout the year These clubs organizations and teams raise money through the sale of doughnuts, candy, Christmas ornaments, Huit, carnations, candy- grams, balloons, and other miscella- neous items. At the beginning ofthe year, soph - omores raise money through a candy sale. This money is used for the con- struction of homecoming floats and for the cost ofthe senior prom. Dur- ing Homecoming week, various fun- draisers are held by clubs and organi- zations, such as balloon sales, com- puter games, and rifle shoot. The Gold Dust staff must sell advertise- ments in order to pay for the produc- tion of the yearbook. The Student Council raises money for Saint jude 's Children Hospital in Memphis through their Red Cross Blood Drive. Fundraisers oken seem to be silly and time-consuming. However, in the long run, we at Smyrna High School will benefit hom them in many ways. Perhaps they are not so foolish aHer all. Mrs. Richards Gets Involved.

Student Life THE VENDI G MACHI E MARCH A Parade Of Food 1- Smyrna High Schools four vending machines offer a wide variety of snacks to our junk food hungry students. This variety includes potato chips, cookies, crackers, and soh' drinks. The length ofthe lines at these machines is greatest during the lunch period, but many students sneak quick snacks in between classes. With a little spare change and the push of a button, a students growling stomach can be filled and his thirst quenched. The school snack bar also offers the students many food items to munch on. In addition to cookies, students may pur- chase ice cream, cakes, sandwiches, and Huit drinks at the snack bar. While consuming their junk food and sugary snacks, stu- dents stand or lean in the halls talking and laughing with their friends during their lunch period. These favorite snacks of SHS. students may ha ve no nutri- tional value whatsoeven but they do give the students enough energy to make it through the remainder of their classes. Time to Munch.

This year the assembly was hosted by Sunland Plans. The assembly in the gymnasium involved a fun- lilled hour of antics in which the students won money and prizes as well as learned about the maga - zine drive itself A game of Let's Make A Deal was played. Students Hom different classes were chosen at random to participate in the game. They were asked to choose a box or an envelope in which a prize or a prank may exist. Whether the students won or lost, the student body, as a whole, enjoyed the activities. Besides participating in Let's Make A Deal, the students learned how to fill out the order forms and began thinking about prospective customers. They knew that the more subscrhations they sold the greater chance they had at winning prizes. A Monkey Instead of Money.

Throughout the drive, various prizes were presented and privileges granted to students who met required sales. Class mugs, a half da y out of school, tee shirts, and painters' hats were just a few ofthe prizes. For all students who sold live magazines or more, a magazine holiday Hom school was granted. During the entire drive, the classes competed against each other to see which class could bring in the most money for subscriptions. Mrs. Smith 's senior homeroom was the top sales homeroom. Sandi johns, the overall top salesperson, won a total of 3450. In addition to the class winner, those individuals who were high salespersons were announced and rewarded percentages of the sales for their efforts. These winners were announced at a second assembly held only for those who partici- pated in the drive. At this assembly, a concert was given by the Young Blades of Bluegrass. Student Life COMPZ TER CRAZIES One source of entertainment for Smyrna High School students is the arcade. The arcade provides an opportunity for students to try their skill at various computer games. Pac-man, Donkey Kong, Pithzll, and Frog- ger are a few of the most popular video games. However, entertainment is not the only use students ha ve for computers. The com - puter is a part of everyday life. Many jobs have been both created and abolished by this inanimate machine. The computer can An Electronic Elective perform many routine and complex tasks that were once accomplished by people. Because the computer is such an integral part of our developing world, it is Ending its place at .Smyrna High School, primarily in the form of courses teaching the use of the computer. The school now possesses four Apple computers, and the demand for the computer courses has increased steadily since its beginning. One of the courses of- fered is computer math taught by Mrs. Nancy Keese. Mrs. Keese teaches her two , .t - i- computer math classes Basic, which is one of the computer languages, and the fundal mentals of how to program a computer. Many students are interested in careers associated with computers. Some of the areas of work in the field of computers are analyzing, data processing, and program- ming. Due to their overwhelming successl and popularity, the Ezct that computers would become a part ofa students educa- tion as well as his entertainment was inevi- table.

Q Clubs and Orgamaations GOLD DUST STAFF jumping journalists Behind the Scenes on the Gold Dust Staff What exactly does that lively bunch of journalism students do? They don't just put together a yearbook, on the contrary, they also attend workshops, produce the school newspaper, practice their journalistic skills, and much more. During the summer, some of the journalism students attended a workshop at MTS. U Their hard work at this seminar paid off when they won the trophy for Best Layout and Design. However, putting together the Gold Dust takes top priority at the beginning ofthe year. Writing articles and captions, taking pictures, design - ing layouts, doing interviews, and trying to meet deadlines are just a few of the tasks which the students must tackle in order to produce the yearbook. In the spring when the yearbooks return, a banquet is held in celebration of this event. At the banquet, the person to whom the yearbook has been dedicated is honored, the juniors roast the seniors, and everyone enjoys a delicious meal. The Gold Dust staff truly enjoys putting our school year in print and picture form for everyone to reminisce upon in the years to come. The accomplishment of this endeavor makes all the hard work worthwhile.

FRIENDS FOREVER The 1983-84 cheerleaders feel that they have accomplished much this year. Not only do they take pride in their cheering, but they also are very proud of the unity and Hiendships that they have estab- lished with each other. They spend a tre- mendous amount of time together, work- ing and planning activities. They have shared the excitement of victory along with the disappointments of Ezilure and support- ed each other through all. This element of sharing also involves sharing the work load. This woilc load rncludes decorating the locker rooms before games, putting up spirit posters, planning exciting pep rallies, and, of course, cheering the bulldog team to victory. The cheerleaders also plan par- ties for the football players, visit the Smyrna Nursing Home, and are all active members of the Smyrna Beautihcation Committee, which helps keep the community neat and clean. The cheerleaders spend many hours planning and working toward perfection. Their summer practice sessions began at seven a.m. every morning and lasted for two hours. These practice sessions were devoted to getting the girls ready for sum- mer camp and for the busy school year ahead. Alter the school year began, their practices were limited to an hour every day. This time was used for building pyramids, perfecting floor cheers, and sharpening their tumbling skills. Q 1983 ICF GRA D CHAMPIO CHEERLEADER q The 1985-84 Smyrna High School cheerleaders, sponsored by Mrs. Russell, consist of three seniors and seven juniors. Their summer was filled with activities, one of which was cheerleading camp. The cheerleading camp was held Homjuly 10 to july 13 at Vanderbilt University. Each morning ten sleepy cheerleaders rose Hom their beds at 5:30 to practice routines. They usually ended their practice at 10:30 each night. Competition involved thirty squads rrom Ala- bama, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Ribbons were awarded in various categories throughout the four day camp. Our cheerleaders won the pyramid gymnastics, and double stunts ribbon, the creativity ribbon, and two overall excellence ribbons. On july 13, SHS. cheerleaders competed to qualijf for the Grand Champion finals. They were one of five squads to quali61. They then competed against these four squads. The highlight of the camp was the mo- ment that the S.I-LS. cheerleaders were announced as the recipients ofthe camp's top honor - the Interna- - Cheerleaders tional Cheerleading Foundation Grand Champion award. Much of this Ls due ta their squad unity which increased during camp and to their gymnastic abilities. Alter camp the cheerleaders held as a fundraiser a clinic for younger girl interested in cheerleading. This was held August 2-August IL and there were sibrt participants. The squad taught the girls cheers, chants, gymnastics, and doubl stunts. Other fundraisers were doughnut sales and candy sales. The cheerleaders are now competing for the Grand Nationals. They have com piled a scrapbook displaying squad unity, community, and school activities. Thi! scrapbook will be judged in the spring.

Although the team won only two games this year, the players have maintained an optimistic atti- tude throughout the season. The most dis- couraging time occurred during the Smyr- na-Mt. juliet game. At Mt,ju1iet both of Smyrna Highs quarterbacks were injured and sidelined for the rest of the season. Senior Mark Pickel, who lacked experience, was immediately pushed into the spotlight as quarterback for the remainder of the season. During the season, the team was plagued with other rn juries and problems. However, the football team with that bulldog spirit continued to improve and is looking for- ward to a winning 1984 season.

Along with the other members of the Gold Dust staff I ha ve tried to put togeth - er an excellent book. This hasn 't been easy. I ha ve found that being an editor means more than just cor- recting the work of others, it also means working around the fact that the day before a deadline, We still ha ve no pictures. I ha ve done my best to insure that this annual is one that you will be proud of now and forever. The staff and I would like to thank some very special people. Thanks go to Mr. and Mrs. Frankjohns for the use of their lovely home for superlative pictures. Special thanks also go to Mitchell s Formal Wear and Paul Vaughn Studios for making our superlative section great. We would also like to thank jim Da vis for producing most of the sports pictures that are seen in this yearbook. Special thanks to Mr. Bucy for designing our school seal to use on the cover of this golden book. To johnny Lo- vien our yearbook representative, we thank for all the trnies he was there when we needed hun. Special thanks goes to Mr. Rarkes for his support and caring to make this book the best. Personally, I would like to thank each and every member ofthe staff The support, the work, the caring, and the diligence of each member have made this truly a 24 'T iff.. N An Unusual Task for a junior. While LeeMaster1s usual journalism work involved the sports section, he later had to heh: to organize pictures for the senior section. An Impossible Task . . . Almost. Spelling, page numbers, picture placement, and hundreds of names must be checked and rechecked before a section is printed. David lvhller takes time to recheck the names in the sophomore section. Carat Gold book. The closeness among the staff is very special. We go through so many things together - selling ads, birth- day celebrations, hectic deadlines, stupid captions, and our annual banquet roast. All of these individuals are of extreme impor- tance in producing this yearbook. Mrs. Martha Millsaps, all of us on the Gold Dust staff appreciate and care about her. She taught us the way to produce a golden yearbook. Her concern for us and our problems has proved to be never end- ing. lwthout the devotion and 6-iendship that she has shown, this yearbook would not exist. I hope that this annual meets up to your expectations. We ha ve all done our best to make it a success. This is now your book, written for you, about you. I hope that some of the special moments which you have experienced at Smyrna High School are captured rn the 1984 Twenty-four Carat Gold Dust. Respectfully, Kristie A.

A major portion of that time is spent answering many calls and checking student absences with parents. A Crazy Change of Pace. One day a year students are allowed to dress outrageously, the one day is the Student Councils Punk Rock Day . Beads, makeup, strange clothes, buttons, and incredible hairstyles are the temporary dress code of the day. Martha Harris 's clothes are exemplary of this dress. await. -s . 3 A Twenty-Four Carat Gold Year What a year! We all suffered through mid-terms, made new friends, and ITI general, supported each other through both the good and bad times. Each class will ha ve different memories of their 1983-84 Smyrna High School year. The sophomore class will remember being new and ha ving their initial experiences during their first few weeks at SHS. They will look back on their first candy sale and magazine drive with relief that these foolish fundraisers are over. juniors will have fond memories of their great anticipation for their class rings and then that blessed day of their arrival. The juniors will also remember their first prom and anticipation of their senior year. The senior class will remember their term paper terrors, senior pictures, prom, and their long- awaited graduation. The twenty-fikh graduating class of SHS, will ha ve accumulated many fond memories of their past three years at Smyrna. We will all remember the day the school roof col- lapsed, our bulldog spirit, Homecoming, the opening of Nissan, and the growth of Smyrna. The year 1983-84 at SHS. has proven to be a truly Twenty-four Carat Gold year. Its memories will rrzdeed last a lifetime. What Some People Do for Spirit.
