W 701 Pine Log Rd 539 Volume II Title Page! I Old Legends: New Fads Because of its unique location, Aiken became a legend to people from all over America. The planter in the low country found refuge from malaria, the horse lover from the North found refuge from the cold and snow, and metropolitan dwellers from everywhere found a ha- ven from their tenement houses and skyscrapers in Aiken's well planned streets and parkways. Aiken's legend continues today, as a city of beauty. lt also continues in horse racing circles, a city of winners, Thor- oughbreds that win! These legends are built on facts and happenings, and the basics are verifi- able. ln the All American City compe- tition Aiken was one of only eighteen finalists and the National Horticulture Society has voted Aiken a Green Thumb City. One historical landmark, the Aiken County Courthouse, is about to undergo a change because of the extensive dam- ages caused when lightening ignited the bell tower on June 24, 1981. Although one Aiken landmark is dying, a new one was born when South Aiken High School opened its doors this fall. While old legends still remain, new ones are being started by the Thor- oughbreds. Their tenacity as competi- tors has brought recognition to our town, Our campus stands upon land which is already rich with history and stories upon which we will build. Many years r 2fOpemng ago this land belonged to the Coward family. Captain Thomas Washington Coward was born February 13, 1832, at the Dun- barton Post Office in Barnwell district Qthen a major part of Aiken Countyj. ln 1856, Captain Coward went to work on the railroad, starting as a flagman, then working his way up to passenger con- ductor. When the War Between the States began, Captain Coward enlisted in Perci- val's Company, Martin's Regiment. He served four months on the coast in the vicinity of Pocotaligo and Martin's Point. The railroad needed him for the war effort, so he left the army. After his railroad career, Captain Coward farmed the Millbrook section just south of Aiken. He built his home, the white house formerly behind Kenne- dy Junior High, and lived there for sixty years until he died on .June 25, 1933, at age 101. ln 1978 his home was cut in half and moved to Banks Mill Road. Mr. Coward would be proud that his land is now being used for the education of future generations, including two of his great, great grandchildren, Donnie Wakefield and Jo Jo Coward. ln an interview with Captain Cow- ard's grandson, Hazel Coward, he stat- ed, lf Grandpa Coward could see the land today being used for a school, it would please him very much because he always loved children. As the defendent finished testifying on Fri- day, June 26, 1981, lightning struck the Aiken County Courthouse. The man exclaimed, But honest judge, l was telling the truth. ! 1 f xl, f nf, 1 ' au X X 1 .Avi f 1 Nfl! ,g , V-. . fseikiif ,nw - , M, 1. 2-yas' fr, ' ' ,', 3 , .., ,JW .5 A , A rw? fi -' Aw: fra r hwy Amr xx, , 4? 43' f R4 fe wry an W Q5 L 53, e is fx.-ff'f'? , e , . ff , , 7 x 'cff-W3'ff 41v1'f fb-gn, , I 'ff ' e f 1 3352 31, QQ1,4Q,',. , ' Q M ffm ,Q .4 f' .Wg fs X 2 R ,uv The Varsity Cheerleaders cheer as the- fu nal tourhdown ug 51 med against Ankvn High. making the hna! wow 153 Although Punk-Rockers like to try dnffer Pnl thnnqs, Carl Montqonwry re-fuse-5 to try the sfhool hntdoqs ,JV I 1 'H Moonlight works magic on South Ai- ken High.

We have already sprung from the starting gate at the Trials and now we are putting our finishing touches on what has been a productive year. We have set forth many traditions which will be carried out in years to come. The Winner's Circle staff has started the zany birthday cake tradi- tion. Each member bakes a cake and the only restriction is that it must be edible. Anything else goes! Our cheerleaders have also set a prece- dent by being the first cheerleaders to at- tend summer camp at Columbia College and win the Spirit Stick for the most out- standing group and the blue ribbon for cheering excellence three of the four days 61Ope-nmq at camp. The band and color guard continue to support the community by performing at Aiken's Makin' and marching in the Christ- mas Parade. The new crimson and gold uniforms are a source of pride and future band members must uphold the tradition set by the first outfitted band. Campus life hes been enhanced by hav- ing a school store, operated by the Distri- butive Education students. Aiken Office Supply, Winn Dixie, and Plum Pudding have supplied merchandise so that DECA students can learn managerial experience and the student body can purchase school supplies and gifts. .mat i, 'ks Captain Anne Sumerall. leads the colorguard during their performance at Aiken's Makin, September 26.

These traditional activities not only raise school spirit, but also in- volve the community. Al- though these are not the only school activities, they compose a great deal of student life. However, life is not all fun and games for the active stu- dent. A student's high school career would not be complete without the cheerful aggravations of rushing from school to work to home and trying to study somewhere along the way. School spirit and unity comprise the school's reputation in the commu- nity. The public support of our endeavors reveals that we are becoming a legend in our own time.

Punk Rock Day, Backwards Day, Hat Day, Fashion Day, and Crimson and Gold Day, were normal weekdays, changed into fun! The Homecoming parade, held on Thursday, October 15, marched down Park Avenue, and proceeded to Laurens Street Elementary. The Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps led the way, followed by the band. The parade included eight floats, clowns, and the Frivolous Faculty Follies Band. Although clubs had not been formed, Mrs. Casey's South Ai- ken Players rallied to the occa- sion and produced a float ex- claiming, All the World's a P u'- i I2 f Homecoming if Stage. The Arch de Tri- umph, created by the Frnech classes, was followed by the Senior Class cemetery. Mrs. Bodie's Creative Writing class designed a gigantic pencil with the slogan, Write To the Top. Mrs. Porter's homeroom, the only homeroom represented, displayed a field littered with Keenan Raiders' remains. Ju- niors showed class pride by dis- playing a victory wreath. Study hall students used their free time to help build the Student CounciI's dauntless Thorough- bred. Junior Varsity Cheer- leaders' Taking lt To the Top rounded out the entries. All of this spirit added to the excitement of Friday's game. ln their new crimson uniforms the band made a grand entrance before the Homecoming crowd by marching around the field.

The crowd went wild keeping the band from playing Hello Again The half-time festivities end ed when the band marched from the field. The game re mained close but with four min utes left, we were trailing Keenan 20-24.

Space lnvaders! Defender! Sound familiar? What about General Hospi- tal or All my Childern? These are the hot- test crazes since hulla-hoops, and mini skirts. Since Space Invaders two years ago, now computer games have been springing up everywhere. Frequently, kids and even adults are found at Quick Shops and Resturants all over Aiken. Mr. Gatti's, Jolly Jim's and Sub Station Il are among the most popular hang outs for these intriguing computers. After school and on weekends those electronic marvels seldom remain unmanned. Another popular screen is the T.V., espe- cially when 1:00 o'clock rolls around. Stu- dents leave for early dismissal but those who must stay until three race home to catch their favorite soap as if it were a life and death situation. Much of the con- versation during the day is centered around what has happened or what will happen in the episodes. The intensity of these discussions runs so high that an inno- cent bystander caught in the frenzy of the discussion would think that a family crisis was involved when really it was only about a soap opera. For many students, computer games and soap operas add ex- citement to what would normally be a somewhat dull life. l6fStudent Life One student uses his ingenuity so he is sure not to miss General Hospital at three o'clock.

Noi he says. lt can't be happening again! Ohhh . . . time to get up. Why me?! He turns off the alarm and sits on the edge of the bed. He yawns and stretches and remembers the homework he didn't do the night before. Falling out of bed to reach the light switch is a chore. As the light reaches the eye, a great burning sensation causes them to quickly reclose. Now it's time to hit the showers, he mutters. The warm water splashes across his back. As he gives a big yawn, water fills his mouth. Finally, the shower's over and he tries to come to life. Before he begins to dress himself, he turns the radio on to be sure to catch the Whitaker and Barclay Show on Rock 106. By the time he finishes dressing, it's pushing seven fifteen. That leaves only ten minutes to eat breakfast and get to the bus stop. Chuck Whitaker and Tom Barclay had to hurry to coordinate the records and advertisements for their morning show, Jan. llth. Because of the 20 temperae tures they were almost late for work.

Erno Rubik, a teacher of architecture and design at the School for Commercial Art- ists in Budapest, was the inven- tor of this ingenious master- piece. Seeking to sharpen his students' ability to visualize three-dimensional objects, Ru- bik proposed a three-by-three by-three cube whose six three- by-three faces would rotate about its center. Each face would be colored uniformly, but repeated rotations of the various faces would scramble the cube, making it extremely difficult to work it back to its original consistency. Every business, home, class- room, and office has a Rubik's Cube, with each hand having a turn. The market was in- stantly deluged by several vari- ations and immitations of the ever-popular Cube , Cube Puzzle, Pyramid, and Ru- bik's Snake are just a few. Warning: Cubitis magica is extremely contagious and in- curable. However hard it may be, the best way to prevent this disorder is to never touch a Ru- bik's Cube. 4, adfv' -4-4 4.5, ,4 X fx x ...

Junior Achievement is a significant organization in the development of a high school students' business skills. JA was set up for high school students who were interested in learning the procedure of the American Enterprise System. The stu- dents elect a president who, with the help of the advisors, selects students to fill the remaining positions. All officers run their companies and have the same responsibil- ities as real business people do. Stock is sold to gain capital to begin each com- pany's production. Different assignments are given to each company member in the production of the product, or the assembly line method is used. Each student then tries to sell the product he made, hoping to make a profit for the company. Although breaking even is the main objective, each company tries to make a profit. All profits are returned to the stockholders. Junior Achievement not only develops business skills, but it also allows students to obtain valuable job contacts, excellent job references, and leadership talents. At the end of the semester the outstanding students from each company compete for trophies in their area of achievement. The top achievers will be eligible to attend the National Conference held in Indiana. The JA companies in Aiken are: Siad spon- sored by Owens-Corning Fiberglassg Granco sponsored by the Graniteville Com- panyg Junior Finance sponsored by Farm- ers and Merchants Bankg LaVista spon- sored by Kimberly-Clarkg Jibco sponsored by Reigal Textilesg and Coable sponsored by DuPont. The efforts of the students are rewarded when they are chosen to attend the various conventions. One such convention, Jamco, was held on December 28-30 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Two hundred Junior Achievers from four southeast states participated. Conferences, meet- ings, and competitions comprised the agenda during the day, and at night a dance was held. For added entertainment a Monte Carlo card room was provided. Jamco is a big event and only a select few are invited. Although small salaries are earned now, opportunities are available through JA to learn the skills which will make money later.

Liz Johnson ponders over what may turn out to be her next Christmas gift. 5 l 2 s Let's Hear It One Mo Bruce Springsteen, Devo, Maynard Fer- gusen, Rick James, Journey, and Alabama all have one thing in common - they're popular teenage music stars. From coun- try, to punk, to soul, to Heavy Metal - teenagers love it. They listen to their music everywhere - car stereos, home sound systems, and of course The Box. Teen- agers simply can't live without their mu- sic. They buy records upon records of their favorite group or groups, and if they can't buy a certain album they just crank up the radio to WBBQ, WTHB, or Rock 106, to hear all the new songs. Parents say the music is too loud, or too fast, but that overwhelming amount of energy, and such is the life of a teenager. One of the best places for teenagers to show their support is at concerts. Scream- ing, clapping hands, and swaying bodies at 5119 rw: if fs .41-'T ki so c 5 2 e Time set the scene as the band hits the first cord. The yelling and chanting continues as a background for the music throughout the concert, then, disappointingly, it's over. Then physically tired, yet psychologi- cally pumped up, the fans head for their cars with a ringing of remembrance in their ears. Teenagers love their music and show an unbeleivable amount of support.

Since procrastination is a student's best friend, one would be correct in assuming that the student did not study over the weekend prior to ex- ams, but as usual he has wait- ed until the night before his first exam. Generally beginning about seven o'clock in the evening, he leisurely lies back The kitchen table. a popular headquar- ters for students to study, is the spot that Sara Benton has chosen to use while studying for Algebra lll.

As the evening wears on, he is slowly and belatedly realizing that it is close to his bed-time. His mother charges into the room. Llp to bed, young man! she cries. Panic! Panic! Panic! He needs at least another three hours of study time. Think! He has an idea. Meekly climbing the stairs with his books under one arm and a flash light under his jack- et, he bends to his mother's wishes. After crawling into bed with the door shut and the light out, he rescues his books and flashlight from beneath the bed where he had deposited them earlier and begins his tedious task. The next morning he stum- bles from bed and into his clothes. After breakfast his mother pushes him out of the door, while saying cheerfully, Exams today. Go get 'em, Ti- ger!

JOSEPH AKINS Wanda Dicks stops at her locker on her way to Mrs. Bodie's Creative Writing class. 3 5 Creativity Brings Personal Dividend 3OfSenlors Poetry and Music writing enhance a person's creativity, says poet and lyricist Wanda Dicks. Wanda is a senior and one who truly believes in her own very obvious talents. To hear some students talk, one would think that it is murder to write a simple poem, but to Wanda it is the height of enjoy- ment and relaxation. Wanda states that she writes for fun, although several times she has sent some of her lyrics to small record companies to have them put to music, but according to Wanda, They are little five- star companies which are real- ly rip-offs and want too much money. When asked what she meant by they want too much money she explained, that when she sends her songs to companies, she has to pay them to put her lyrics to music. Wanda has been writing po- ems and songs since she was about eleven years old. Wan- da's repertoire contains about thirty songs and twenty poems. Although she may experience writer's block, it doesn't hold her back and when the inspira- tion moves her the words come flowing . . . and . . . flowing . . . and flowing . . ir I sf Wat ' .X .Cn 'Nf:- . 1.

June 3, 1982 On June 3, 1982, at 6:30 p.m. frantic seniors will be seen rushing back and forth trying desperately to look like mature adults about to receive their di- plomas. lt's graduation night! It will be a night solely dedicated to the first graduating class. At the present, some seniors are wondering if they will graduate, but they will all pull through in the end. Graduation means different things to different seniors. For some, it is the end of a long hard struggle, while for others it is only the beginning! As some people seem to think, caps, gowns, invitations, and senior keys do not turn up by magic. The acquiring of these materials involves mea- suring heads, standing on tip- toe to judge gown lengths, and wondering how much is this go- ing to cost?! After graduation all seniors will agree that the end justified the means. We sincerely hope that all seniors will graduate and go their own way with fond memo- ries of their alma mater, for without them we would not have this firm foundation on which to build a legend.

Band Members Honored One of the highlights of our band program last year was the enthusiastic attempt to raise money for new band uniforms. The uniforms were bought and were delivered just in time for the Homecoming game. Now that the marching Thor- oughbreds are dressed for the occasion it is time to place a couple of its members in the spotlight. Last year Mr. Kitchings, the band director, picked two rising seniors to apply to the McDon- ald's All-American High School Marching Band. These two sen- iors, chosen on the basis of their band honors, were Marie Brodie and Marilyn Heider. Their applications were sent to the committee who chooses the band members and a reply 34j Seniors was soon delivered to our school. Marie, unfortunately, was not chosen to audition, but Marilyn was. Since Marilyn was chosen to audition, she had been sent a piece of music which was to be played on her trombone into a tape recorder and the tape sent back to the committee. Unfortunately, Marilyn, also, was not chosen to be in the band, but she re- ceived a lovely letter from them, all the same, congratulat- ing her on her honors. We are all very proud of Marilyn and Marie's achieve- ments and wish them to know that even though they were not chosen to be in an All-American band, to us they will always be in the winner's circle. Marilyn Heider waits with anticipation before she enters the practice room to record her trombone solo for the McDonald's All-American High School Band. Y-N.

High school is a time of joy and pain, and its memories will remain with us forever. For the moment, the teachers and ad- ministrators are merely prepar- ing the graduating class for the real world. The real world not only consists of getting jobs for a great many students, but for some there are other things that come first. College is one of the great adventures that many students wish to savor, but only the super brainy and the financially secure get to experience it. For the last decade the cost of college has been steadily increasing, and the number of college-bound students decreasing. With the incentive of high college costs, many high school students are diligently studying in the hopes of receiving a scholarship be- cause for the average student, this is the only possible way that they could ever finance their education. Even though college costs are so high many students manage to attend and hopefully will continue to do so. Another after college persuit which is popular among young people today is a career in the Armed Forces. The graphic and picturesque television commercials and the recruiting posters, which are plastered on every free space around school, always succeed in lur- ing juniors and seniors to the recruiting offices. Regardless of whether or not the students are interested in college, the mili- tary is a good career. Not only will the Armed Forces teach a qualified person a trade, but they will even go as far as send- ing a recruit to college. The third, final, and obvious choice after high school is get- ting a job. Boring, right? Not for some. Many seniors will enjoy working in the local businesses around Aiken, as well as work- ing for the many larger com- panies and corporations in the Aiken vicinity. s Kenneth Chavous and Kim Rogers browse through information catalogues in the guidance office looking for information about careers.

Darryl works out with the weights to train for football. He bench presses 280 pounds and squats 500 pounds. Since football season ended abruptly at Travelers Rest, he is now playing basketball. He trains regularly at the O'Dell- Weeks Recreation Center so the game won't get rusty. Darryl says that sports keep him interested in school. He plans to attend Clemson Llni- versity or Tuskegee Institute and, hopefully, will participate in sports. Darryl has been chosen to participate in the North-South All-Star football game, playing on the South team. Darryl recommends basket- ball as a fun sport not requiring a lot of physical effort, but for him football will always be his favorite sport.

Un Ha is from Korea and she moved to Aiken in September. She is a senior and is having to adjust to many different situations. For example, Un Ha says, Ameri- can food is very distasteful in the school cafeteria and I like Korean food much better. Un Ha misses her old friends very much, but she likes South Ai- ken. She was surprised by our southern hospitality and says that she likes the students and faculty because of their friendliness to her. Some of Un Ha's hobbies in- clude listening to music, play- ing the piano, and playing the guitar. She is doing her best to adjust to our crazy American ways and we just want her to know that we are very glad to have her with us. Q77 .OWN S My Q' I i f .. La,,.. .te KAREN A.

Seniors f 4I French Student Visits Who is Carole Lamballais? That's a good question - and here is a great answer. Carole is the good friend of Liz Johnson who went on a six week study tour to France and spent a week with Carole's family in Chevreuse, France, a forty min- ute ride by train from Paris. ln return, Carole came to the Unit- ed States and spent two and a half weeks with Liz's family from July 22 to August 10, 1981. Carole was one of thirty stu- dents on a summer tour and while she was here she had her first experience with bowling, which she enjoyed thoroughly. She also did things like go skat- ing, shopping, and visiting the mountains. She also had a chance to visit Six Flags over Georgia. To Carole, the best part of the United States was our peanut butter. Carole loves real peanut butter, but only the artificial kind is available in France. Carole also likes steak JAMES M.

One of the different things that Carole found in the United States was our climate. She was in Aiken during our hottest and muggiest month. Bearing this weather was quite a feat, especially since she is used to 50 degree weather. Another contrast was the use of ice in cold drinks here. Carole and her French friends were not accus- tomed to ice, and it took some time before their teeth could withstand this new feature to soft drinks. Clothes were an- other shock, especially shoes. Carole thought that our styles were weird, but to us she was the one who looked a little out of place. After leaving Aiken, Carole spent two weeks with a family in Charleston, S.C., two days in Washington, D.C., and two days in New York City before returning to France. Carole Lamballais gets tips from Loret- ta Bracco and Kyle tatum about play- ing pool, one of America's most popu- lar indoor sports. NV ff gf... 3. .. M -xv ., gf- N Qc!

Fashion For ProH t The world of bright lights, runways, and beautiful clothes has always had a certain allure for young girls. This is the world of fashion modeling. Many girls enter this field hop- ing to make their fame and nev- er succeed, but Lori Braun seems to be a cut above the rest and has had a reasonable amount of success. Lori became interested in modeling when she was a little girl and modelled for shows sponsored by the Heart Fund in Aiken. ln the ninth grade Lori enrolled in the Barbizon Model- ing Agency in Atlanta where she earned her sixty hours to become a professional model by attending the agency every other Saturday for four months. Some of the types of Dressed in a comfortable ski jacket, Lori Braun helps on the Senior float and also finds time for professional mo- deling engagements. modeling Lori does include: cosmetic, lingerie, and sports wear, but Lori's favorite is Tea Room modeling which is the showing of evening wear. Since her graduation from Barbizon, Lori has freelanced for several stores and worked as one of the ten members of Rich's Teen Fashion Board for a year. She now models for Rich's adult fashion shows two or three times a month. Lori says that she enjoys mo- deling mainly because of the people, the clothes, the excite- ment, and, of course, the mon- ey. Lori hopes some day to make a career out of her model- ing, but for the immediate fu- ture she plans to attend Er- skine College and earn a Bache- lor of Arts degree.

Ed is a familiar figure to al- most everyone on campus, but he is associated mainly with the football teams. Ed has been managing various football teams since he was in the eighth grade. When asked what his job was like he said, I do all the dirty work. The dirty work includes jobs such as mopping the locker room floor and wash- ing the dirty towels while pray- ing that the dryer works. His job also includes pouring water and gatorade at games and practices, taking care of the athletic equipment, and pump- ing up footballs. Ed is not only seen on the athletic turf, but he is also pop- ular on the academic side. Dur- ing his high school career he has won such awards as the Optimist Award and he is a member of Who's Who Amongl American High School Stu- dents. With all these extra cur- ricular activities, it is hard for people to believe that Ed is handicapped.

Betsi Barnett Huerta works as a stablehand for Dottie Thompson. Ms. Thompson owns four horses, but Betsi and her husband only care for three of them. Some of Betsi's jobs include: cleaning the stables, feeding, watering, exercising, and grooming the horses, tak- ing care of the tack, clearing the paddockg and keeping the barn clean. When she was in third grade she owned a quarter horse which she showed. Bet- si's immediate plans are to work as a groom at the track next year and then advance to rider. She later plans to attend college and major in commer- cial art. Michelle Bradford works as a groom for Graf Bae Farm. Her jobs include: grooming, feed- ing, giving the horse shots, tak- ing their temperature, and tak- ing care of the rider's equip- ment. Michelle has been work- ing with the horses since she was in the ninth grade. Last summer she traveled to New York and Pennsylvania as the r.. 1 head groom for Graf Bae Farm while they were showing horses. Hilton Lesesne is also inter- ested in horses. He and his fam- ily train horses, as well as giv- ing riding lessons. Hilton also participates in many Aiken horsing events where he was chosen Grand Marshall for the Sulky Races.

Talented Artist Although many of our fam- ous athletes and various popu- lar personalities receive great amounts of attention, there is a certain breed of thoroughbred at our school that receives little or no recognition at all: our fan- tastic artistsl Numbering as one of the best is Craig Craw- ford. Craig was chosen to at- tend the Governor's School for the Arts and was the only stu- dent selected from Aiken Coun- ty. Having been nominated by Ms. Smith, the art teacher, Craig was required to fill out an application and to submit a portfolio to the committee who was to choose the students to attend the school. Approximately 120 students attended the school from July 5 to August 9, 1981. While there, they stayed in the Fur- man dormintories. A typical day in these artists' lives while attending the school began with getting up at 7:00 a.m. and breakfast at 8:00. At 9:00 they would board a bus for the Greenville County Art Museum and a class on drawing and painting. At 12:00 they would break for lunch and then head 50X Seniors for a 1:00 sculpture class. 4:00 saw them on their way back to Furman and dinner at 5:00. On Mondays and Wednesdays they went to Art Value Semi- nars and on weekends there were different workshops. Not only did these talented youths have to go to class, but they also invariably had home- work which often included working on projects they had undertaken. The finished pro- ducts were exhibited in a show open to the public at the Green- ville County Art Museum. Craig says that he enjoyed the other people there most of all. He admitted that the talent- ed people and stiff competition made him work harder. The new techniques he learned 'there were very helpful and -definitely worth the time, ac- cording to Craig. Monday through Friday nights they had to be in their rooms by 11:00, but they had until 12:00 on Sat- urday nights and all day Sun- day was their own. When asked for a closing comment, Craig simply stated, lt was great! l'd go again if I could. A' N C . ,X Working at the easel, Craig Crawford completes a self-portrait painted upside down.

The Incredi- ble Hulk? Wrong again - it's super senior Aaron Counts. Aaron is reputed to be the strongest man at our school, as far as weight-lifting is con- cerned. He has been lifting for three years, but he just started heavy lifting last year. Aaron bench presses up to 305 pounds! Aaron works with all sorts of weights and tries not to do too much. The weight-lifting has really helped him in sports, especially football. Aaron has played street football since he was a little boy, but this is his first year playing high school football. He also runs a lot to keep in shape. Aaron's philosophy on football was to tackle anybody that comes in his way. Football, however, is not Aaron's only love. He is avidly interested in track and plans to try out for the track team in the spring. Aaron feels that many peo- ple waste their natural talent by not utilizing it and feels that there are many guys who are better athletes and stronger than he, but they aren't using their ability. His plans ,after high school include attending a small college and participating in some sport. When asked if he had any advice for his fellow athletes, he simply said, Be in shape and have your mind ready. Aaron Counts prepares for his daily strenuous workout. -it-M . is ,ft NA. xi, 'v M, ACN, 't TERESA DAWN TANNER - Art - 10, Camera and Photography - 9, J.V. Band - 9, Jr. Exec.

This is a big complaint of students. However this homework builds a usable knowledge that can will be used in later and life. The years spent in ele- mentary, junior high, and senior high schools are twelve very important ones because of the po- tentially useful knowl- edge. These are the years when the student decides what he is going to do with the rest of his life. The high school years lend the primary keys to reaching these career de- cisions. High school pro- vides the basic fundamen- tals to many professional career possibilities such as chemistry, engineering and medicine. lt also teaches the different kinds of trades available in shop courses. These courses teach useful trades that are always in great demand.

This promotes better world rela- tions and increases the curiosity among the students to broaden their understand- ing of other cultures. With the cultivation and comprehension of French, German, and Spanish, the students complete the circle of understanding between foreign peoples. Because of rapidly growing trends, the world is becoming smaller, and the Foreign Language Department endeav- ors to acquaint the students not only with these languages, but also with the cus- toms, cultures, and history of the various countries. With a basic understanding of English as well as French, German, or Spanish, a student can compare several situations and gain a practical knowledge of a particular country's philosophy. Through the studying of all languages, pat- terns are set which break through and build bridges toward greater world unity. ov, ' I 'XE 2 4' ' as-. .,,,,ut ' .,- . , - I . .c ff 4- ,,, .c... . k 1 1 f .5 . 3 -5. or fr if vi' I '. .Lux C bc jxext BX , Y .4- , M., ,i y .... ,,,--s g 3 Q S X gifs.. ,fe 5 1 A S' fi If f A ki ew' .gf ,..,w.Lf awk X X22 .. ---A' 'k,L .,.x. f osx' - 5 ,gs :KQ S B' Monopoly is one of the many games Spanish stu- dents play to enhance their knowledge of Spanish cultures.

K l Test Tubes And Measuring Cups What are students conjuring up in sci- ence and home-making courses? Proper food habits, safe kitchen procedures, and sanitary practices topped the list as Home Economics classes began another school year. Through studies and participation in many labs, students were able to apply the four basic food groups to preparing bal- anced meals. Perfect taste was not a re- quirement since the future homemakers were only tested on preparation and organi- zation. Second semester was devoted to consumer workshops which included price and performance of small appliances. ln addition, the classes prepared foods from several different cultures. Chemistry students, also using rec- ipes carried out various experiments. By lab procedures ranging from glass-bending to making oxygen, students completed their course in chemistry. ln addition to observing microscopic creatures, biology students dissected animals, a new encoun- ter.

During P.E. classes, students' minds may be at rest, but their bodies as a whole are put into action with the strenuous exer- cises vital to the building of stronger per- sons. This physical development is basic to good mental health and forms an essen- tial part of a well-rounded education. While the students in P.E. are tuning their body engines, auto-mechanic stu- dents are busy tuning car engines. ln this course, young men work at a vocation which will benefit them in the future. With the knowledge gained in the auto-mechan- And Bodies ics classes, students are able to get jobs in garages, gasoline service stations, or ser- vice departments tuning cars. They be- come skilled in making car repairs by working under the supervision of an exper- ienced mechanic. With the skills learned in school, students gain extra confidence in working alone.

The sounds of a busi- ness echo in many students' ears. Most people don't realize it, but a busi- ness office requires a skilled staff of man- agers to plan and direct the work. South Aiken offers courses that help students ready themselves for a business-type ca- reer. Among these are accounting and typ- ing. An office worker must have good lan- guage and mathematic skills in order to handle business information accurately. Students acquire these skills in accounting class, where they learn bookkeeping to re- cord figures and other data, and in Busi- ness English where office skills are empha- sized. Typing is also a good skill for stu- dents who have to type term papers in college. Professionally, typing helps young people get jobs as secretaries or key punch operators. Distributive education also offers exper- ience and classroom skills in marketing merchandise, bank finance, food service, window displays, and fashion merchan- dise. Many of these skills are put into prac- tice when class members take turns run- ning the school store under the supervision of Martha Corley and the guidance of Mrs. Marguirete Dechau. Each student attends classes in the morning and holds an outside job in the afternoon. The student is evaluated by his employer and Mrs. Dechau from this evalu- ation credit is given. Likewise, mechanical drawing and Woodshop also offer skills to students who plan to work immediately after high school. Mechanical drawing is drawing made wtih the aid of instruments, such as rulers and T-squares. Students do not draw objects as they appear in photographs, but show detailed sides of an object necessary to define its exact size and shape. Many students who take Mechanical drawing have a headstart in becoming professional draftsmen. Woodshop is a well-know class where students actually create their own pieces of furniture, such as gun racks and bookcases. ln all of these classes, students learn skills which they will be able to use immediately after graduation. Jerry Daniels fills out his worksheet for Mrs. Lenon's shorthand class. Mr. Stulb's woodworking class exhibits their skills on the Lathe, by making table legs for their class project.

The Color Guard is under the direction of Mrs. Katherine Brooks with captain Anne Margaret Summerall. The uniforms added color and excitement to the end of a week of festivities. This year they went to the WorId's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee. They marched in a 1 hour parade and entertained the crowd with a concert at the Fair. Instead of stay- ing in hotel rooms, the band stayed in a sixty acre mobile home park on the fair grounds. The band has been in touch with historical events on their last two spring excursions. The World's Fair, the first since Seattle in 1961, is particularly impor- tant because it is the first time a World's Fair has been held in the South. Last year the band was in Washington, D.C. on Pentagon March 30, 1981, touring the when President Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley, Jr. At the beginning of the year, James -Kitchings, director of the band, said that the band, with its thirty-five new members, had the potential to become an outstand- ing band. Through their many activities they have proven this to both the commu- nity and themselves. The NJROTC drilled itself to perfection, and the battalion provided its services many times throughout the year: escorting girls at the Homecoming, presenting the colors at the Dedication, and appearing in the Edgefield and Aiken parades. Under the direction of Lieutenant J.D. Wiggins and Master Chief Petty Officer Blichen- staff, the squad visited the Aiken Youth Correctional Center, where the South Si- ken Marching Buccaneers performed a drill formation and the Color Guard pre- sented the colors. An installation of Offi- cers was held on October, 22. The spring proved to be a very busy time for the NJROTC members. In March, they attend- ed the l.I.S.C. field meet where the drill, rifle and athletic teams competed. Other competitions included the Clemson Meet, and the Aiken County Field Meet. For all of the 140 members, the Annual Inspection was held in February, with Inspecting Offi- cer Captain McPadden attending.

Generally these classes run from the Sopho- more through the Senior year. Starting in their Sophomore year, students take govern- ment and economics in which they learn about the present day government and its func- tions. They study the County Government, the State Govern- ment, and eventually the Feder- al Government. The study of government is important be- cause government has always played a vital role in American Society. Since the laws of this country are so important, gov- tg ,V K.. .k,,-:V 5.59, B --me 4 'FN at - item... ,lm ,nnnnwsg l Cnmrnt T - an k y C2?:,f.'l . iz . 'V ,, f Q., 'W-.5 ernment students take a close look at all types of government in order to learn the differences between systems. The Junior year is Ll.S. Histo- ry! ln this course, students start with the original thirteen colo- nies and learn how they won their independence from Great Britan. They also study how the United States became what it is today. Civilization takes over during the Senior year. ln this course, students study past civiliza- tions and how they evolved into present day societies. Un- der the leadership of Mrs. Shir- ley Hasty, the students eagerly delve into the philosophy of past eras. Psychology, on the other hand, is another popular high school subject. In this class, students study why human be- ings and animals behave the way they do. Psychology stu- dents study all kinds of human behavior, normal and abnor- mal, making the course fasci- nating. Though many feel that social studies is something that has to be endured, the tidbits that can be picked up in the classroom add a little to the spice of life. Keith Parker made such an impression on last year's psychology students that Mrs. Hayes, the new psychology teach- er, invited him back this year. After a week of exams Mrs. Player's fifth period economics class takes a break while she gives out the govern- ment books. ' Government, History And PsychoIogyj7l Colors And Voices Blend Many students are academically talent- ed and are always recognized for it, howev- er, brains aren't everything. The Creative Arts Department has in the past two years turned out some very talented artists and vocalists. Art students worked in three areas under the instruction of Ms. Merilyn Smith. Be- ginning students worked on learning the basic concepts of art history and worked on projects such as collage, ceramics, and pencil or charcoal sketches. Intermediate art students worked on more advanced projects and were able to apply the knowl- edge from their previous experiences to their work. In addition, they practiced cal- ligraphy, which is a form of writing involv- ing unique patterns and designs. Advanced students put their imaginations to word in creating pieces of art which reflected years of practice or just an innate talent. They produced several unique paintings and drawings which were displayed throughout the school. The choral department also received their fair share of publicity. The choral pro- gram consisted of two classes, Chorus I and ll and Concert Choir. Chorus is open to any student who wants to express himself through singing. Concert Choir, however, requires an audition before the director, Mr. Don Dupee. Only students with the finest voices are allowed to become Con- cert Choir members. Both groups enter- tained the student body at the Christmas concert. The creative students are given new op- portunities for self-expression in both art and chorus and the student body benefits by being able to attend concerts and view art displays. The Chorus sings Jingle Bell Rock during the sec- ond annual Christmas concert held on December 15th. 72fArt And Chorus Russel Hale glances around the art room seeking inspiration for his artisitic talents.

The excitement of being an upperclass- man is only the beginning. As the Juniors impatiently awaited the arrival of their rings, they planned the prom, which added to their eagerness of becoming a senior and getting the senior privileges. Nonetheless, the Junior year also stands out in the way of academics. English term papers, Ll.S. History term papers, Chemistry term pa- pers, and foreign language research pro- jects were the bleak little reminders of school that kept the Juniors' feet on the ground.

Term papers! What are the Juniors going to do? Eleventh grade is the first year that the term paper is re- quired. For the teachers, term papers are grading note cards, outlines, rough drafts, and final- ly the finished product. To the student, however, a term paper is a nightmare filled with long hours of hard work and many trips to the library. E.S.P., ghosts, and the hula are but a few of the many topics the stu- dents write on. First, the student must go to the library to literally dig for information on his subject. After what seems like an eterni- 80fJuniors ty, he finally finishes taking notes. His next task is to put his notes into sentences form- ing a decent rought draft. After he has done this successfully, he must submit his final copy, perfectly done, of course, in- cluding footnotes, bibliogra- phy, and a title page all bound together in a colorful binder. Fi- nally, everything is completed and the burden has been lifted off many shoulders. However, the anticipation of grades quickly replaces the load. All the student can do at this point is to kneel down and pray for his teacher's mercy. Patricia Redd uses the school library to gather the needed materials for Mrs. Beard's 1800 word term paper. if M 1- fi 1 4 V if? ff , Q X 4 if 4 A 1 R, s f 5 Q- 9L'! v ff' Q ,.

Hunting for doves, rabbits, squirrels, and especially deer is one of his avocations. He has been hunting with his father and friends since he was twelve years old. When he hunts, Larry goes to Bamburg, Batesburg, Aiken, or Edgefield to private land or to private hunting clubs. Larry owns several guns but the two he uses the most are a 12 guage 3 inch magnum- pump and a Remington .22 caliber semi-automatic. On a typical hunting morn- ing, Larry gets up at 4:30 and arrives in Bamburg at 6:30. He sits around with the other hunt- ers until they decide where to hunt.

After lunch, he goes back to his stand and sits for a few more hours before he is picked up by another hunter. By this time it is dark and time to go home. For tracking the quarry he owns four mixed-breed dogs and a full-blooded hound. Larry feels strongly that safe- ty is an important factor in hunting. He is always aware of the other hunters and is careful where he points his gun. Spending the day outside in all types of weather would be a miserable experience for most but for Larry it is a chance to be close to nature and every year he anxiously awaits hunt- ing season. Larry Young eagerly awaits the Christmas vacation so he can spend his time at a Bamburg hunt- ing club.

He, along with three others, makes up the band PREZENSE. The members are: Greg Rich- ardson, lead guitarist, Billy Sanders, bass guitarists and vo- calistg Glenn Wise, guitarist and vocalist, and Melz Faulkner, drummer. These talented young men played in the Bat- tle of the Bands held in Augus- ta in November and won first Sophomores Move Up School Ladder Prezense Wins Again place for the second year in a row. The band PREZENCE plays for private parties, as well as keg parties. PRE- ZENCE writes their own mu- sic, as well as plays popular rock music by ear. Greg became interested in music when he was in the eighth grade and asked for a guitar. He took a few music les- sons and learned the rest on his own. Only a few bands make it to the top of the charts and PRE- ZENCE may be next. Greg Richardson thinks about the sweet victory of winning the Battle of the Bands two years in a row.

The State Kata Judo compe- tition, sponsored by the Sumter Judo Club, was held on Sep- tember 28, l98l, at Shaw Air Force Base. A total of 200 con- testants participated in this event. Contestants were grouped by age, rank and weight. The boys were judged on how well they performed the Judo techniques in a specified order. Many different tech- niques of choking, holding and throwing had to be demonstrat- ed by each boy. The tech- niques demonstrated were judged by style and precision. Greg won the State Cham- pionship for the third year in a row. When asked about his favor- ite sport, Greg said l enjoy Judo because it gives me lots of exercise as well as self-pro- tection. It also helps me learn balance, leverage, and timing, which is used to pin or throw an opponent. Judo is a sport participated in by many, but only our school has the S.C. Judo Champ . Sophomoresj95 Freshmen Begin A Four Year Legend Art Opens Horizons Thomas Kelly has a special innate talent that not many oth- ers share. This talent is draw- ing. He enjoys drawing things that are out of the ordinary and is also interested in still life drawings. Thomas is constant- ly drawing when he has the time. He first started art in the seventh grade and has been drawing since then. This year he took an art class under the supervision of Ms. Smith, who thinks he has potential for the art field. The first nine weeks were tough for him, as it is for many freshmen. As the year progressed, however, he be- came more intense and much better with his art work. Thom- as plans to continue art classes throughout high school, but fu- ture plans are still too far ahead. Thomas Kelly stops for the photogra- pher on his way to Ms. Smith's art class. A Shot At Two Sports Soccer is an ever-growing sport all across the LLS. today. However, Scott MacMurdo al- ready knows a lot about this fast-paced sport because he has been playing since he was nine. During this five year peri- od, he scored thirty-four goals, scoring fifteen of these in his first year. He was voted the Most Valuable Player for Aiken Youth Soccer his first and sec- ond year. He played his first four years as a forward, but made a tremendous change to halfback in his fifth year. In ad- dition to soccer, Scott also ex' cels in basketball. He plays in church league basketball games and was a member of the J.V. basketball team this fall.

Courtney is an equestrian who has been riding for four years. You have to have a genuine interest and dedication to the animal Horse showing is one of its re- wards, however, because you get to meet different people from different places, stated Courtney. Courtney has been riding Lionel Train, her favorite horse, for three years of the last four years. During her first year of showing, she won Short Stir- rup Champion. After two years of strenuous showing, she qualified for the American Horse Show Association Pony Finals, a prestigious reward, The Pony Finals were held in Atlanta, Georgia at Hunt Hill Farm. She placed a high fifth Courtney Kneece stops for a moment before she gets ready to saddle up for the Homecoming Parade on October 15. out of fifty ponies. At the South Carolina Hunter Jumper Asso- ciation, Lionel was the Large Pony Champion and the Grand Pony Champion. The hours of grooming and practice required for the many shows Courtney completes in are well worth the effort because as Courtney states, Horse showing is so much fun because it is such a challenge for me as a rider. Many students may remem- ber having seen Courtney ride out on the football field during half-time at the Homecoming game. Because of her electrify- ing entrance, chills ran up and down the spines of Thorough- bred fans. Riding the school mascot out at halftime was a thrilling moment because the fans went wild! explains Courtney.

Ms. Albertine Williamson is seen on the one hundred wing speaking to students during the change of classes and watching the traffic flow. Everything 's Under Con Building a legend cannot be accom- plished by the efforts of students alone. lt takes many expert and willing hands to keep a school of this size on its feet. This is where the administration and faculty come in. Mr. James Dawsey, principal, is in charge of everything that goes on at school. Ms. Albertine Williamson, vice-prin- cipal, can frequently be seen in the hall outside her office. Her job is to keep the attendance records up to date. Mr. Tom Robinson, also a vice-principal, is responsi- ble for the distribution of text books to teachers. The administration is a strong base on which the rest of the faculty relies. Preparing lessons and writing tests is a l06fFaculty small part of the teachers' job description. Many teachers are involved with clubs which sponsor activities such as the fash- ion show, the all-male beauty contest, and popular fund raising events. Juniors and seniors keep sponsors busy with the ring ceremony, prom, senior play and gradu- ation. The athletic program is the result of year-round participation of more than just coaches and cheerleader sponsors, it re- quires the help of a wide range of faculty talent. Although the efforts of the Hoofbeats and the Winner's Circle advisors are not always in the limelight the results, their labors are evident at publication time. But, like most normal human beings, trol! these teachers do not work all the time. They are entitled to free time just as much as the students, and are involved in a wide variety of activities which include referee- ing athletic events, taking interesting vaca- tions, helping students during the summer, playing in bands, and working for local candidates. Without the close working relationship between the administration and the facul- ty, the student body would not benefit from the many valuable experiences that are gained outside the classroom. These activities will help build legends that stu- dents will draw on later in life. r M m m .--fm - 'ln ,Q fldi?-me .,tD,w ,yvuyvk .., .y-sggx-5, ,y sm, A. .im LEW, ' vifSy..

FacuItyflO7 Mrs. Player Meets Headliners F RX Few people can boast of see- ing a president in the flesh, and even fewer may boast of meet- ing three presidents. One of the few is Mrs. Susan Player, l.l.S. government teacher. Mrs. Play- er first became interested in politics in 1956, at the age of ten when she watched her first political campaign in which the late John F. Kennedy was a Vice-Presidental candidate. About twelve years later, when she was a college student at the University of South Carolina, Mrs. Player admits cutting class to catch a glimpse of the Governor of California, Ronald Reagan who was to give a speech at the Columbia Munici- pal Airport. Says Mrs. Player, I was so impressed that I squeezed my way between a highway patrolman to get to Mr. Reagan. I then shook his hand and told him, I'm switch- ing over to your side. I was so thrilled that I remember him saying something but can't re- member what it was.

Later, articles appeared in several well-known newspa- pers. We had to hide them from my grandfather. who was a democrat said Mrs. Play- er. Besides her incident with President Reagan, she has also met Lyndon B. Johnson, and Gerald R. Ford. She has also stepped on the toes of Senator George McGovern, and has been crammed in an elevator alongside Senator Hubert Hum- phrey. Mrs. Player explains her political runs as, Being in the right place at the right time. She also tells students that it's just a matter of knowing how to handle politicians, After all, they are human! Mrs. Susan Player reminisces about thc time in the late sixties when she switched political parties after seeing the then Governor Reagan at the Co- lumbia airport. is ,ku 'E V A 4 . f ,- is x pt .1 kta fx git x , ,W Mv,'6r',- I2 2925 A has A rliti C iils Mr. William Blickenstaff - Naval Science I, II, III, IV, NJROTC X Mr. Earl Blassengale - Mechanical Drawing I, II, Pre-Voc.

Forward Mrs. Dorothy Brooks and Miss Marion Marshall are two teachers who give up the ma- jority of their summer vacation to work for the Summer Tech- nical Enrichment Program, or, more commonly known as S.T.E.P. S.T.E.P. is a program geared towards stimulating interest in the field of engineering. This summer program, however, is not only interested in seeking out future engineers, but it also hopes to improve the students' skills in science, math, and English communications. On field trips the students visit such industrial spots as the Ms. Marion Marshall and Ms. Dorthy Brooks were teachers for the Summer Technical Enrichment Program held at Aiken High, a program set up for stu- dents interested in Engineering with mi- nority students given priority. Eastman Kodak Company in Columbia, South Carolina, Gen- eral Motors lncorporated in At- lanta, Georgia, and the Duke Power Company in Charlotte, North Carolina. They also vis- ited the Savannah River Plant and Kimberly Clark. These teachers that give so much of their valuable time to help motivate students who are interested in engineering are a true asset to the community. Thanks to dedicated teachers like Mrs. Brooks and Miss Mar- shal, the youth of today be- come more confident in achiev- ing their goals. FacuItyfl09 Camping Out Every year, as summer vaca- tion approaches, everyone has thoughts of Myrtle Beach, the mountains, or just plain old sleeping late. Everyone that is except Mrs. Hayes, psychology teacher. While most of us were sleeping our summer away, Mrs. Hayes and her adventur- ous family were making their way across a greater part of the North American continent. The Hayes family spent a large part of their vacation taking in the majestic sights that this coun- try has to offer. Some of the wonders they observed were the Great Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone National Park. And believe it or not, they actu- ally spent a couple of days in the driest region of the Ll.S., Death Valley, of which Mrs. Hayes says she and her family were the only inhabitants.

The Hayes clan also paid a friendly visit to our northern neighbors, the Canadians. When asked what she thought of the Canadian people, Mrs. Hayes said she found them, Warm and very hospitable. Obviously, this family likes to travel and is planning more trips in addition to the ones they have already taken which include a greater part of the western hemisphere!

Mr. Kitchings is a member of four different bands, two of which are The Jim Kitchings Band and the Louis Griffin Big Band. On weekends he spends his time playing in these bands and in shows, such as the circus that comes to the CSRA. Mr. Kitchings first decided to become a musician in the eighth grade and then started preparing himself for the com- petitive world of music by studying piano and trumpet. He Mr. James Kitchings listens intently as he leads the band during the student body concert on Dece'nber I5. started his professional music career in ninth grade playing lead trumpet in a big band in Augusta. Mr. Kitchings' musical talent has influenced his two sons, who tour in the band Strut, a popular band on the night club circuit. In 1980, this band at- tended the Inaugural Ball for President Reagan. When asked if he would do the same thing over if given an- other chance he said yes and added, Music is something you can do all your life. I've enjoyed playing professionally. It is somewhat lucrative but I play for the pure enjoyment of it. Through his professional music career, Mr. Kitchings adds a new dimension to his band directing. Facultyj I Il Robinson Referees .

Herr Brown Brings Germany Back To Classroom On the second of August, Mr. Bruce L. Brown attended a seminar conducted by the Goethe Institute, an organization which encourages the study of German language and culture. Herr Brown and twenty-three teachers from thirteen countries came together in Gottingen, a charming city in north central Germany, to practice the language and gather information about modern Germany. Amont the many activities of the group were exploring mountains and forests, interviewing town officials, visiting East Berlin, learning about night life in West Berlin, riding in an automobile on the perilous German freeway, the Autobahn, and talking politics with Germans in pubs. Probably the most rewarding part of the experience was the association with many fine people, said Herr Brown, Also rewarding and useful were the so called contact phases of the course during which the teachers were sent out to establish contacts with the people of the town. Herr Brown felt that the course was particularly beneficial because he was able to enhance his linguistic abilities, learn new methods of teaching German, and share the unique experience of his stay in Germany with his students.

Building a winning tradition has been an important part of our sports program. Having worked out the problems with inexperienced athletes, we are now able to begin building our legends. Experience is one of the key ingredients for making a successful team, but it is not something that athletes are born with. It takes much prac- tice and hard work to become a competent athleteg but when a freshman or sophomore turns up at practice and exhibits ex- traordinary talent, it is a thrill to the on-looking coach. These talented athletes also give the school a sense of pride to think that it may be nurturing a fu- ture Fran Tarkenton, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, or Billie Jean King. Now in our second year, our sports program is in true com- petition with other schools and is definitely building its owr legend.

Since it was a new sport added to the Girl's Athletic Program this year, there was a lot of hard work and preparation needed to get Softball off to a good start. There were different rules and regulations that had to be followed. It is now possible to steal bases and also, new offensive strategies had to be planned since the girls were allowed four people in the outfield instead of three. Many long hours of practice gave the team their first winning season. All the players will be returning and we are looking forward to a great 1982 year. W is it ik I if ,i if Sig Q ,. it tt W, sts?

A newcomer to the team, seventh grader Stacey Phillips has been a valuable asset by winning all of her regular sea- son matches. Conference regu- lations allow Middle School stu- dents to participate in high school tennis matches and with Miss Dean's encouragement, Stacey tried out for the team. The girls' hard work and dedi- cation proved to be the key to their success this year. The team played in the Con- ference lV-AAA tournament and finished third.

Hindered last year by a lack of experience, the team had a greater number of hopefuls try- out to add to the line-up. The volleyball team, under the coaching of Mrs. Lydia Hopkins, had a talented starting team backed by an experienced group of substitutes. Led by seniors Delphine Jefferson, and Kathy Smith, the team served, set, and spiked to a IO-6 record. Losing only these two fine players, the Volleyball team looks forward to next season when they can put their experience to good use in the hopes of another successful season.

At the beginning of the season, Coach Mike Roberts and the basketball team set their goals for the coming year: to win the Aiken Coun- ty Christmas Classic and to advance to the 3A State Playoffs. The first goal was accomplished as the team beat Aiken High, Midland Valley, and Silver Bluff deci- sively to capture the County Championship Trophy. They hoped to achieve their second goal by taking ad- vantage ofthe team's exper- ience, height, speed and great depth. Rebounding became the key, as controlling the boards was the catalyst for the fast break. Junior cen- ter, Alvin Robinson and sen- ior forward, Darryl Stroman were the mainstays inside, while senior speedsters Dar- ryl Perry and Kenny Fair showed excellent outside shooting touches. Senior AI- vin Lloyd, junior Arthur Brooks, and sophomore Ray- mond Roundtree provided unmatched support off the bench. The team used a pressing defense and a high- scoring offense to build an eleven-game winning streak which culminated with the Christmas Classic Cham- pionship. Coach Roberts insisted that each player improve on his previous performance. Fouls were the biggest prob- lem in the first portion of the season, since the big men got into early foul trouble, leaving their smaller team- mates to carry the rebound- ing burden. The inside play- ers worked hard in practice to polish their defensive strategies in order to keep teammates from fouling. While they did reduce their fouls, their effectiveness re- mained the same as blocked shots were commonplace. Inside, Darryl Stroman and Alvin Robinson picked up many points off re- bounds and occasionally en- ergized the crowd with slam dunks. This season brought a great improvement over last year's eight-win season. The team's high goals may be a reason for this produc- tive change. Boys' Varsity BasketbaIljl33 W- A X ?

Soccer f 137 Winning Squad Spirited! Lively! Energetic! We're talking about the Varsity Cheerleaders of course. Start- ing in July, the cheerleaders at- tended the National Cheer- leaders Association Summer Clinic. While there, the girls re- ceived three superior ribbons and one excellent ribbon for cheers and routines which were evaluated by the NCA cheer- leaders. Having been chosen as one of the top four squads at the clinic, they were asked to perform in the Squad of Ex- cellence Competition. They were also the recipients of three Spirit Sticks and were allowed to bring one home for the school trophy case. ln August, the squad spon- sored a cheerleading clinic of their own. lt was offered to young girls from age six and up. The trainees were taught cheers and dance routines by the cheerleaders and on the last day, the best groups received awards for their endeavors. With the coming of football season the cheerleaders, on nu- merous occasions, decorated the football team's locker room with candy and good luck posters. ln addition, they sponsored a spaghetti supper for the foot- ball team and participated in the homecoming parade, but most important of all, they dili- gently supported the football and basketball teams' success- ful season.

It Starts Here The main purpose of the Ju- nior Varsity football team, com- posed of freshmen and sopho- mores, is to develop the skills and experience needed to up- hold the growing reputation of South Aiken's Varsity football. Under the guidance of Coaches Rusty Culbertson and Mike Roberts, the J.V. team worked long and hard to achieve a fun- damentally strong football team. The team ended the sea- son with a l-6 record, they did however defeat arch-rival Ai- ken High. The .Junior Varsity team was extremely helpful to the varsity team, since the younger squad provided the l40fJ V Football varsity's opposition during practice. Junior Varsity stan- douts were offered the opportu- nity to dress out with the varsi- ty team for their games at the end of the year. This incentive, along with the dreams of play- ing Varsity football, stirred the Junior Varsity players to work hard to improve their skills. Al- though the J.V. season wasn't as successful as hoped, it ad- ded to the development of a promising class of football players. Coach Roberts and Coach Culbertsor give advice to Drew Chavous.

Experience ls What Counts In the face of another diffi- cult season, the Girls' Junior Varsity basketball team is dili- gently working towards a suc- cessful record. Unlike previous years, the. girls competed against virtually new oppo- nents such as Wagener-Salley, l42fBoys And Girls' J.V. Basketball Midland Valley, Batesburg- Leesville, Silver Bluff, and Strom Thurmond. This year was a rebuilding year for the girls with only three returning players: Hope Yarborough, Tra- cy Coleman, and Carla Wil- liams. Leading the team in scor- ing was Tracy Coleman, aver- aging five points per game. ln the rebounding department, Hope Yarborough, averaging 8.5 rebounds per game, Tracy Coleman, averaging 6.5, and Kathy Seigler, averaging 4.5, came out on top. The girls en- thusiastically entered their sea- son with expert guidance from Coach Lydia Hopkins, which enabled them to end their sea- son on a good note and receive the valuable experience needed to play varsity basketball. Junior Varsity basketball teams, though competive, re- ceive little recognition year after year. This pre-varsity training gives young players ex- perience in preparation for their varsity years. The junior varsi- ty team started off on a good Walsh Helps Bui d F utu e Standouts note with a pair of impressive victories over Midland Valley. Llnder the guidance of first-year coach, Bill Walsh, the young players worked long and hard to produce a top-notch team. Led by sophomores Ed Bush, Xavier Council, and David Pe- 'st'-ar ,...l terson and by freshman Scott MacMurdo, the team played well throughout the season. Stressing fundamental basket- ball, Coach Walsh put the team through numerous running, passing, and dribbling drills. The team's success proved the David Peterson shoots from the out- side as he is confronted by a Midland Valley defender.

' Shout It Out! Just as everyone needs somebody to lean on, so do the cheerleaders, thus we have the junior varsity cheerleaders. The role of the junior varsity cheerleaders is to cheer at the junior varsity football and bas- ketball games and to support the varsity cheerleaders when necessary. During the summer the girls attended the National Cheerleaders Association Sum- mer Clinic at Columbia College where they learned new cheers and dance routines. For their efforts they received Superi- or and Outstanding ribbons, as well as the coveted Spirit Stock which presently resides 144 J V.

Hoping for a break in the mono- tony, the relief is tremen- dous when everyone real- izes that it's finally time for clubs. On the first and third Wednesdays of each month, forty-five minutes are set aside during the regularly scheduled first period for the purpose of club meetings. Many of the clubs are not only beneficial to the students, but also provide services to the school. By provid- ing special activities and guest speakers, some clubs give students in- sight into possible ca- reers, whereas others spend their time in pro- jects designed to improve the school, such as volun- teer clean-up commit- tees. Though we only have clubs twice a month, as opposed to other schools in the area who have them weekly, the students re- ceive maximum benefits from their experiences.

The Mathematical and Computerized Games Club members are interested in mathematical problems, and how they are being solved by computers, slide rules, and logarithims. The members also enjoy many games that require a great deal of concentration and skill, such as the Ru- bik's Cube, and electronic football and bas- ketball games. During the club period, the members try to solve certain formulas and problems in order to master each game. Another club which involves concentra- tion is the Chemistry Club. Under the lead- ership of Mrs. Rosalyn Barton, the mem- bers of this club take on large tasks. Dur- ing the club period, these students perform 'fl' i Q.. many experiments such as distilling water, and bending glass to use in the lab. The Industrial Arts Club makes many useful items during the activity period. The mem- bers design and create their own home and personal items. Not only is skill used in concentrating and solving problems, but it is used in working with the hands. One of the main clubs which requires manual dexterity is the Cross Stitch Club. With Mrs. Sandra Cantwell as an advisor, the club cross-stitches pillows and Christ- mas tree ornaments. Their major project, decorating the office Christmas tree, was a success. Another club which needs nimble fin- gers is the Guitar-Folk Music Club. Stu- dents in this club appreciate the vast range ME :WJ of music that is produced by using the guitar. These students practice and share helpful hints ranging from heavy-metal in- struments to simple accompaniment chords. They also invite guests to perform for them. The group assembled a band to perform at the Special Olympics at LISC- Aiken in April. The Record Club shares similar interests to those of the Guitar Club because they both enjoy music. The Record Club is ad- vised by Mrs. Stephanie Simmons. The members are allowed to each bring their own records and share the newest dance steps with the other members. These clubs contribute to the students' creativity and manual dexterity which is important to our society, that puts so much emphasis on academics.

Creativity Comes In Many Packages Many high school activities contribute to the professional skills in today's work- ing world. These activities are directly ac- complished through group work done in school clubs. Hoofbeats, Future Secre- taries, and the Crafts Club require special talents which students will use in the fu- ture. The Hoofbeats Staff,- advised by Ms. Merilyn Smith and Mrs. Kathy Brown and edited by Daniel Gilden, issued four news- papers this year. These issues contained current affairs, creative articles, student reports, ideas, and contemporary school life. The Future Secretaries invited profes- sionals from different offices in the com- munity to come and explain their secretar- ial duties. ln addition, the Crafts Club made Christ- mas trees and wreaths and worked on pro- jects such as latch hooking, crocheting, quilting, and candle making. Two clubs prepare students for future life, but in a different way. One is the Na- tional Art Honor Society. its main purpose is to inspire and recognize students who have shown not only an outstanding ability in art, but those who have shown a dedi- cated spirit in the pursuit of art. Society members strive to bring art to the attention of the school and the community. Their membership is based on art scholarship, service, and character. To be a member, a student must be in one of the last three grades of high school and have an art scholarship of a B or better. The NAHS was created in 1978 by the National Art Education Association. The Future Teachers of America is an- other club that helps prepare students who have an interest in becoming future educa- tors to participate in meaningful activities that will prepare them for working in schools. To raise funds the members sold raffle tickets for a ten pound box of Valen- tine's Day candy and sponsored a Valen- tine's dance. The club members, under the direction of Mrs. Prescott, have been able to assist our teachers as the club members learn more about the field of teaching.

With the help of the members who attended workshops and the new members who were chosen in March of 1981 the staff began to work on the book. The first obstacle that the staff faced was money. ln order to alleviate this problem, the staff set their sweater sales in motion. With the help of the Josten sales representative, Buzz Pleming, the staff designed the crimson with gold-lettered sweaters which were sold at the Student Store. Along with sweaters the staff had to sell yearbooks to a not-too-willing-to-buy student body. Hope- fully, with the publication of this book, next year's staff won't have such a hard time selling books. After book sales were completed, the staff began to design, draw, and layout the pages. With the help of Buzz, the Editorial Board, with Cliff Kirk- land at the helm and Liz Johnson and Kyle Tatum as assistants, the cover was de- signed and approved by the staff. ln mid- February the staff had a very successful carnation sale, thanks to the student body. Many long hours, which included staying at school until midnight and working week- ends and holidays, have been put into this year's book. We hope you find it enjoyable. Winner's Circle editor, Cliff Kirkland stops to regroup for the next deadline. Liz Johnson and Bret Crawford give a sales pitch for carnations to Barbara White. . .Q,k ,K C savvy? -E R-- 'll i Xxx if f - 1 ,' z'! 5 5 2 ay fy , 'H' 6 , Y, ,Vg g x . , xx Al ' V.

S Researching Career Opportunities The Future Homemakers of America, Medical Health club, and the Distributive Educational Clubs of America fD.E.C.A.J are clubs which specialize in combining a student's education with his intended ca- reer. For example, F.H.A. is an integral part of the home economics curriculum in school. Students are given the opportunity to develop positive attitudes toward work. lt's officers are Sharon Trowell - secre- tary, and Phyllis Key - treasurer. The Medical Health club is designed to orient students to career possibilities and it YQ s-. to explore the field of medical health. ln a combined meeting with the Career Club, an Emergency Medical Technician and Mrs. Meadows, also an EMT, demonstrated how to take blood pressure and showed the stu- dents what an EMT unit looks like and how it operates. D.E.C.A. involves instruction in the areas of leadership, selling, management and human relations. Members of D.E.C.A., under the guidance of Mrs. Mar- guerite Dechau, work in the fields of inven- tory, merchandising, fashion modeling and display. With the help of Aiken merchants they had nine window displays in the stu- dent store and held a fashion show, Spring Forward on February 12. D.E.C.A. members attended an Internation- al Fashion Show in Atlanta in March to learn more about the trade of fashion mer- chandising. az Q 1 ,Q SCHOOL and .f Q' 4 SQ if 55655 2 ' W Clubs! l55 l56fClubs The Spanish Club members pose in front ofthe bulle' tin board inviting them to visit Spain and dream about the day when they can visit the country they have studied so much about.

SUP rmarch Languages P ovide Entertainment The creative arts clubs help develop tal- ents in students which they will call on for the rest of their lives. The language clubs top off this list. The Spanish, French, and German clubs are interested in further in- vestigations of their respective studied areas. They sample foods and carry on in- depth conversations within each club. These clubs are designed for the intellectu- al learning in the interested students. The Creative Writing Club, under the leadership of Mrs. ldella Bodie, is interest- ed in improving the members' skills in- volved in writing. Club members put out the first literary magazine, Calliope, To F0 All raise money the club presented the Isn't He Lovely? contest in which boys com- peted for the title. This contest, which is a spoof of Beauty pageants, uses the boys' skills in a hilarious way. Some of the tal- ents were baton twirling, cheerleading, and miming. The club worked extremely hard, but was generously rewarded by their first magazine. The South Aiken Players, under the strong leadership of Mrs. Ann Casey, had a fascinating year. They participated in the Homecoming Parade and entered an imagi- native float. The students attended the State Drama Festival at Columbia College in November. They also produced a one act play, The Llgly Duckling. by A.A. Milne. However easy drama may seem, it is extremely challenging and exciting for many of our talented students. lt creates a challenge for our students to tap their real potential. This is the underlying cause for all cre- ative artsg it brings out the best in our students. Five of the contestants from the lsn't He Lovely? contest, sponsored by the Creative Writing Club, practice their talent for Karen Baker and Lori Braun. ,fi.B-Wt 'M t i FTM -semi' .sv Clubsfl57 l58fCIubs Serving Us Many of our clubs are designed to pro- vide funds for different school activities, but some are devoted solely to service. For example, the Block SA Club is composed of athletic Iettermen who raise money to support the athletic department. Their big- gest project, which took place in the fall. was selling hats. The National Honor Society is also a service organization. NHS is a select group of students who have demonstrated the qualifications of scholarship, leadership, service and character, NHS administers make-up tests each Wednesday afternoon from 3:00 to 4:00 and also runs the can- teen during lunch. The students cleaned the school yard, assisted with Career Day, Open House and aided the Salvation Army with collections during the Christmas holi- days. Unlike Block SA and NHS, the Career Club is designed to benefit the students. They have speakers such as architects, nurses, and vets, at each meeting who dis- cuss their vocations with the club. They are told about the pay scales, job opportu- nities, educational requirements and other pertinent data. The International Cooking Club, also a very popular club, serves to expand the students' horizons by exposing them to foreign experiences. Each committee, one responsible for a different country at each meeting, presents information on the country, its people, its customs, and last but not last, its food! With the help of Mrs. Lydia Hopkins, advisor, and Clarke Jones, president, the club had a full year and used dues collected at meetings for a field trip to a local restaurant. An officer from the Public Safety department demon- strates the use of lower body air splints to the Medical Health Club.
