So ‘ n eh SNE ee The Big Red Machine Rolls Once More It wasn’t the rebirth of a “Southwest legend,”’ but it was the return of respectability for the Patriots. The critics thought the Pats were going to be good, but good is not saying enough. The Patriots looked to be unstoppable, and many started to believe it after SW won their opening four games. The Pats won their opener by slaughtering Washington 25-0. The offense was stupendous as_ they amassed 364 total yards, 298 of which were on the ground. Tony Butler led the defense as they held Washington to a mere 132 total yards. The Pats gained more than a win against the Central Chargers, they gained revenge from four years of disappointing losses. The 20-6 victory capped off the second great defensive performance, holding Central to 88 total yards. The offense was of course, outstanding as they piled up 293 total yards. In the Pats’ third game against the Baldwin Braves, the Braves were truly demoralized. Three of our four TD's were achieved on runs of 30 yards or more as we won 26-16. The Pats shut out Evans 20-0 for their fourth straight win. Coach Edgar Hatcher said of our offensive line, ‘“‘They are not very big, but they are tough.’’ We went into the Warner Robins game with great expec- tations, but the game’s outcome was a disappointment. We lost by the score of 44-0. The game against Northside + Eagles was equally disappointing, as we lost 21-18. de a TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Mike Smith slips out of the pocket and looks down field for a receiver.

In the Homecoming game against Hepzibah, Alex Strong broke the opening kickoff for a TD. It was an offensive and defen- sive showcase for the rest of the night as SW won 28-0. The Pats fell behind too much, too fast as Butler upset the mighty Patriots 29-22. SW battled it out with Northeast at Porter Stadium for the City Championship and won 35-28.

All 6,000 people who witnessed the game believed it by the way the Pats bolted to two quick TD's before the Demons even touched the ball. SW led all the way through the third quarter until the Demons found their game, and with a fourth quarter surge, the Demons won the game 28-20. The Pats finished the season with a 7-4 mark, their best record in four long intent on years. The Patriots had fought a tough battle all through the season and had emerged as City Champions.

The defense recorded 2 shutouts, beating Northeast 14-0, and Northside 6-0. The offense racked up 34 points to their opponents 19, over a 5 game span. The Ninth Grade Football Team join- ed in with the B-Team in their first game against Northside of Warner Robins. The Ninth Grade Team took over late in the second quarter and scored the only TD. The tradition of great defensive play continues as the B-Team and Ninth Grade add to varsi- ty talent in the years to come.

B-Team Football — 17 Young Team Desires to Be the Best The determination and spirit of former Southwest teams must have been an influence on this outstanding group of young ladies. These great qualities, put together with excellent play, led the Lady Patriots to a Sub- Region playoff berth and the coveted City Championship This group of exceptional ladies played far beyond expectations, ac- cording to Coach David Carey. He felt this team performed at levels equivalent to those of veterans when they really weren't that experienced. Led by Kim Gilkey, Rhonda Spires, Tracy Daniels, Allison Ross, and Lisa Dean, the team had a rewarding season. With a great number of these now _ seasoned players returning next year, Southwest can look forward to another successful season. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Kim Gilkey prepares for battle.

The on- y returning Varsity starters from the fearsome '84 team were Tony Butler and James Marshall. The new ‘85 team was obviously a young one con- sisting of four freshmen, four sophomores, three juniors and only one senior Southwest has been hosting the SW Invitational Wrestling Tournament for several years. Every year the tourna- ment grows in popularity. The '85 tour- nament was no exception — for two Straight days schools from all over the state competed against each other. Southwest's young squad had three wrestlers find their way to the winners’ platform with third place finishes; Tony Butler — 170 Class Division, Harold Franklin — 147 Class Division, and James Thorpe — 105 Class Division. The '85 team finished with a record of 5-11 which was respectable con- sidering the youth and inexperience of the team. Virtually every member of the team had little or no previous ex- perience. Coach Grube stressed the fact that the regular season is used to get the team ready for the Regional Tournament which qualifies wrestlers for the State Meet. Southwest did well in the Region Tournament with Tony Butler coming away with the championship in the 170 Class Division. Eric Jordan was the runner-up in the 132 Class Division. Chris Simmons placed fourth in the Heavyweight Division. Tony Butler went on to the State Meet and was runner-up in the 170 Class Division. i - ih.

Thomas - ——_— a Wap 20 — Wrestling Quality and Depth Lead to Success The Southwest Patriots Boys’ Basketball Team continued the winn- ing tradition established by past Southwest teams by finishing NUMBER ONE in the Middle Georgia Top Ten Teams and capturing the State AAAA Championship. Their outstanding record of 26-2 reflected dedication and hard work on the part of the team and coaches. Under the direction of Head Coach Don Richardson and Assistants Robert Hudson and Clyde Barden, Southwest has been in the state playoffs eleven of the past fifteen years, and with this year’s title, they now possess five State Championships and one National Championship. As one of the teams leaders, 6’7” senior Steve Grayer was voted Player of the Year on the All-Middle Georgia and All-CityeBoys’ Teams. He was nominated for the McDonald’s All- American High School Basketball Team as well as being selected to the Converse and the Addias All-American Teams. Steve was consistently in dou- ble figures and had a playoff high game of 22 points. Steve has signed a scholarship with Wichita State College. Thomas Lowder, the other starting senior, went almost unnoticed throughout the year, but in the victory over Heritage High School, he reached his season high total of 25 points and was instrumental in the Southwest vic- tory. Thomas was selected to the All- City Boys’ Second Team. He has signed with Missouri Southern. Both Grayer and Lowder played in the Georgia State All-Star Game. Junior 6’7” center Earl Wise turned in an outstanding season by averaging 15 points and 9 rebounds a game. He was selected to the All-Middle Georgia Second Team and to the All-City First Team. Eric Manuel, sophomore for- ward, kept pace with the rest of his teammates by averaging 14 points and 8 rebounds a game. He too was selected to the All-Middle Georgia and All-City Teams.

The Pat's, lead by Steve Grayer’s 32 points and Earl Wise’s 31 points, came home with a 92-81 victory over Washington High of Atlanta. The season continued with one victory after another. During the Christmas holidays, Southwest journeyed to the “‘Basketball Capital’ of the U.S., Lexington, Kentucky, to participate in the Hillsboro Classic. Steve Grayer and Eric Manuel with 16 and 15 points respectively led the Patriots to a 58-35 victory over Takes Creek Commodores which extended the Southwest record to 11-0. With the arrival of tournament time, Southwest was ranked Number One in the region. In the semi-final game, Southwest faced the slow down tactics of Richmond Academy. At halftime the Pats lead 20-14, but came back strong in the second half, with Eric Manuel scoring 15 points, to lead Southwest to a 63-32 victory. The final game of the Region Tournament was a rematch with Warner Robins, the team that gave Southwest their second loss of the season. The Demons led 30-19 at the half and extended their lead to 13 points in the third quarter. Southwest made a strong charge in the fourth quarter and tied the game up at 58-58 at the end of regulation time. With 46 seconds left in overtime, the score tied at 60, Tony Hall sank a jump shot that gave the Pats the win- ning basket. Southwest had avenged an earlier loss and now advanced to the State Tournament with this 64-60 win. Southwest knocked off one oppo- nent after another to reach the finals of the State Tournament. Their final roadblock to the title was LaGrange. The Pats executed all phases of the game with perfection and emerged with a 66-50 victory and brought home the State AAAA Championship Title.

Coach Albert Sharpe had a young team comprised mainly of Sophomores and Juniors. He and Coach Goolsby worked hard with the team and developed in them a sense of pride coupled with a determination to better themselves with each game. This determination to win was ex- hibited during the regular season by twice defeating cross-town rival Nor- theast, which enabled Southwest to capture the coveted City Champion- ship. In the Sub-Region Tournament the team’s inexperience in tournament play was a contributing factor in our loss to Northeast, which eventually won the State AAAA Title. The Lady Patriots’ leading scorer, Angela Hill, will be returning next year along with center Kim Bentley, who led the team in rebounding. Wanda Burns and Kim Wright, two returning guards, are a deadly duo with their combination of speed and shooting ability. Coach Sharpe is extremely op- timistic about the future of the Lady Patriots and feels that the experience of a once inexperienced team will prove to be the contributing factor that will bring about a successful 1986 season.

For the athlete who makes it this far, he or she is looking forward to the personal satisfaction of one day earning a varsi- ty letter in the coming year. Coach Clyde Barden had an entire team of aspiring young talent. This enabled him to play ail 18 players each game — a feat he has not been able to perform in all of his years of coaching. The Boys B-Team turned in a 7-4-1 record and captured the inner City Championship over Northeast and Central. The B-Team girls, coached by David Carey, also completed a fine season with a 7-3-1 record which earned them the City Championship. Coach Carey demanded a great deal from his girls because he knew that this hard work leads to varsity ex- cellence in future years.

A record of 7-1-1 was the ac- complishment of the boy’s team. Frederico Crocker contributed numerous points and rebounds while Darryl Gay provided great penetration and outside shots. One _ interesting point of the boys’ season was the heated game against Northeast. With the score tied and two seconds left on the clock, Reginald Simmons tipped the ball in to win the game.

Although some of the year- end statistics reflected a year of disap- pointment, the Patriots gained valuable experience with key players turning in fine seasons. The Patriots recorded five disap- pointing decisions during the season, but they lost these games by only one run. The Patriots managed to get hits and to load the bases several times this year, but they just couldn’t get the clutch hits to score the runs. All was not gloomy though, as there were many bright spots during the year. Milton Cuyler turned in another sparkling year with a .515 batting average on the season. He led the team in runs scored, runs batted in, and homeruns. Chris Robitzch also contributed with his outstanding .385 batting average. Dean Kuznieski 32 — VA Baseball turned in a great performance against Baldwin County by assisting the team in their 11-O shutout with fourteen strikeouts. Bryan Sauls and Milton Cuyler also contributed consistent defensive performances throughout the season. Coach Ashley is looking forward to a great 1986 season. An analysis of the abundance of underclassmen talent and an examination of the solid season of the B-Team produces a great deal of optomism.

The B-Team baseball squad had an excellent season ending up with a record of 9-2-1. This fine season is an indication that these young players are ready to assume Varsity positions and have a great team. The coaches have said that this B- Team had great potential and a win- ning attitude. Coach Clyde Barden was quoted as saying, ‘‘This is one of the best B-Teams | have ever coached. They are winners and they are very coachable. They knew what they wanted to accomplish. Then they set out and did it, game after game.”’ This was evident when five players earned the honor of playing in a Varsity game. Coach Barden had more praise for this team by saying this was one of the best hitting teams he has ever coach- ed. Another asset of this superb team was their outstanding ball handling in the field. There was never a time when the team wouldn't hustle. Looking at all this talent on the B- Team this past year, gives one the feel- ing that good things can only happen in the future when these young players move up to the Varsity.

Outstand- ing teamwork and great coaching by Robert Hudson had a lot to do with this record. A natural ability of being able to work with each other dom- inated this team’s seemingly invincible game Of course one major reason for this great success is the players. This team was blessed with many talented players who turned in great perfor- mances at the right time. Gary Batson had a fine year hitting and in the field, and was supported with strong perfor- mances by Bobby Grinstead, Terry Bennet, and Gabriel Burnette. Pit- ching was another of their strong points, with Shannon Moxley and Bobby Grinstead combining their talents to contribute to the undefeated record. There is no doubt that these talented players will flourish in the next three years. Hopefully, they will carry on this winning tradition as they move up to the Varsity team.

The team included four sophomores’ with recognizable talent and a junior with the potential to earn a number one ranking in the city in the 1986 season The four sophomores included Allen Urch, Keith Johnson, Lance Kornegay, and Brian Goad. Jeff Moody, the lone junior, was the only returning team member In order to be competitive in Region 4-AAAA Golf, teams as a whole need to shoot 180 or lower. This season Southwest averaged approximately 195. If the four sophomore golfers im- prove their games several strokes before next season, and this is a distinct probability considering their potential, Southwest should be guaranteed a competitive team. The season itself was disappointing with a no-win record, but the Sub- Region Tournament played at Warner Robins International Golf Course, prov- ed to be much more successful with Jeff Moody shooting 86 and Keith Johnson shooting 88.

Even though the records of both boys and girls’ teams did not represent that of a totally outstanding season, they held their ground against extremely difficult opponents and gained experience The team started practice approx- imately three weeks before the season began. They spent every afternoon practicing when they didn’t have mat- ches, trying to perfect their game. In the Sub-Region competition, our representative for singles was Darryl Davis. One doubles team consisted of Dong Nguyen and Darryl Moye. The other doubles team consisted of seniors Song Yun and Rob Barrow. Both the singles and doubles teams advanced through the first round, but both succumbed to defeat in the sec- ond round.

According to the coaches there was an abundant amount of depth this year in contrast to past years. Coach Goolsby expressed his opinion by saying he thought they did great in dual meets. This proved to be true as the Patriots finished 6 -1 overall in dual meets. The Patriots’ main strength came from the field events. Competitions such as the long jump, the triple jump, the relay, and the hurdles were the Pats ‘‘bread-and- butter’’ this past season. The team’s positive winning attitude and an excellent 40 — Boys Track performance by everyone helped them to win second place in the Bibb County Coca-Cola Invitational Meet Southwest finished the year third in the Region. Cedric Dean had a fine year, go- ing undefeated in the long jump. He was consistent at 22 feet and set a record of 224 feet at the Optimist Club Relays at Evans High School in Augusta. Keith Majors set a school record in the 120 high hurdles of 14.2 seconds.

Both of these meets had fields of fifteen teams which made the Southwest team’s finishes even more spectacular. Kathy Torres performed well in the long jump, hurdles, and the mile run. She qualified for region competition, where she finished third. Kim Wright qualified for region competition and finished seventh. She was also the 4-AAAA Champion in the 880 with a record time of 2 minutes 33 seconds. Debra Collins and Karen Thomas turned in Stellar performances in the shot put and discus. The dedication of these girls was phenominal. Before they started prac- tice, the team ran between 3 to 5 miles to warm up. Next, they ran three 660’s, three 440’s, three 220's and three 110's. Then they really started to work. But all of this hard work has definitely paid off. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Lebreda Crafter relaxes before a meet. Sabrina Watts gets ready for her event.

For the B- Team, this road to perfection included Starting practice in July. They were re- quired to attend the summer camp at the University of Georgia.

Sophomores were involved in the task of taking the Basic Skills Test, while Seniors were fitted for caps and gowns, watched a play, and practiced their class song. Juniors made their choices for their ever- memorable class rings. Students signed up for the purchasing of year- books during the Annual Staff's mer- chandising program. At this time it was announced that the Spirit of '85 had received the Sweepstakes Award at the Georgia Yearbook Workshop held in August at Georgia Tech.

Though it seems the longest of all the quarters, its longevity is the result of the many holidays and activities that occur dur- ing the season. Christmas, the season that makes Southwest jolly, was accompanied by many festive activities. The annual Senior Christmas Party brought smiles of Senior happiness. There was food and fun for all those in the McEvoy B Building. While the Seniors were enjoy- ing themselves, the underclassmen at- tended skits along with band and choral performances in their respective buildings. Civinettes, Key Club, and Student Council were among the many clubs and organizations that brought Christmas joy to those less fortunate than themselves. The new year brought January ac- tivities including many sporting events. The month of hearts, February, offered several Valentine’s Day activities to the Southwest students.

The interest shown by members of the Senior Class was overwhelming. Roles were filled and many who did not get on-stage roles worked behind the scenes helping tireless advisors, Henry Ficklin, Betty Lamb, John Crisp, Harold Lee, Gwendolyn Bell, and Betty Amica. A great deal of hard work and after school hours were spent preparing for the successful production that was presented for the school and com- munity at Macon Junior College on the evenings of March 21 and March 22. Cast members for the production in- cluded the following: Lara Nelson, Steve Bell, Cynthia Jones, Lionel Blakeney, Carolyn McMullins, Lisa Chris Freeman, Christina Johnson, Veronica Roberts, Pam Summerlin, Ivey Webb, Rhonda Hamlin, Octavia Nash, Franette Lucas, Charles Looney, Angela Curry, Victoria Smith, Greg Beddingfield, Angela Wooten, Leon Troutman, Roger Gore, Kelli Stone, Donald Watkins, Pernilla Jansson, Demetrius Hill, and Tracy Copeland.

Seniors were excited because they could finally see the end of a twelve year quest for their diplomas and looked forward to the events preceding graduation. Underclassmen too sensed the rapidly approaching end of another school year. Student activities increased at a rapid pace. Charles Murphy’s Pep Club and John Matthews’ Magnet Classes spent their spring holidays touring New York City and Washington, D.C. After a hard fought season, the In- dustrial Arts Club in overtime defeated Frater Sodalis and emerged as cham- pions of the intramural basketball program. The Art Club, under the leadership of Lisa Thomas and Dannah Graham, sponsored the Second An- nual Art and Photography Show. Rob Eldridge’s work earned him the Best of Show award at the well-attended event. The last meeting of a very successful year for the Parent Teacher Student Association was held. Raynette Evan’s talented and _ enthusiastic Rhythms Class presented the program for the evening. Evelyn Floren, a 1964 graduate of McEvoy, brought her drill team from Jonesboro Junior High School to Southwest to perform. The girls’ per- formance was so well received that Southwest will have its own drill team next year. Viginia Philips, Raynette Evans, and Dannah Graham, volunteer advisors, have selected and are in the process of training the new squad.

The week began with a parade and ended with a birthday party for the man who saw that all the flowering Japanese Cherry trees were planted in the city—William Fickling. Included in the week's activities were hot air balloon races, an international food booth, street dances, and the Mulberry Street Art Festival. This year’s Cherry Blossom Festival was unique in that it became a showcase for Southwest High School. In what must have been record- breaking time, students, faculty, and community volunteers built a float for the Cherry Blossom Parade which was designed to publicize and honor Southwest students and organizations. Represented on the float were members of some of the very active - f . e “le yy ossom Festival organizations, the cheerleaders, and the Georgia 4-AAAA Boys Basketball Champs. In a continuing effort to recognize and encourage academic achievement, Georgia’s Eighth District Star Student— Richard Dunlap —occupied a place of honor on the float. Melanie Robinson, a junior at SW, rode in the parade as Miss Afro-Macon. Of course no parade would be com- plete without bands, and one band in particular—The Southwest Marching Band. The appearance of the band and the directors, Oscar Jackson and Gerald Vickers, generated an exciting conclusion to the 1985 Cherry Blossom Parade. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Sherry!

Wearing their class jerseys, Seniors walked en masse to the Westgate Theater and were able to view either Gotcha or Rustlers’ Rhapsody. Wednesday, Seniors were invited to a special luncheon prepared by the cafeteria staff at Willingham B. After- wards, the McEvoy B gym was the site of the Talent Show which only Seniors could attend. Bands, the Civitans, and the Civinettes all used their ingenuity and talent to entertain the spirited audience. The Student-Faculty Basketball Game showed the physical prowess of the Seniors as they outscored the faculty players. Senior Honors Day was the highlight of the week. Recognized as a newsworthy event by the local media, Honors Day gave the school and the community the opportunity to reward the excellence of the Class of 85. The Senior Luncheon at the Macon Coliseum was a colorful affair com- plete with red, white, and blue balloons and an hilarious skit describing the 10th reunion of the Class of '85. The exciting and meaningful week was brought to a close by the Senior Dance held Friday evening at the Col- iseum. Seniors and faculty members danced the night away. Seniors owed a debt of gratitude to all faculty members as_ teachers worked together to plan all Honors Day activities.

From preppie to punk, you can see just about anything. Comfort remained a high-priority on campus as students had to contend with long treks among buildings to get to classes. Comfort, of course, meant jeans and sneakers. Traaitional looks such as oxfords and izods have remained popular, probably because they can be the foundation of a versatile wardrobe. Some people think it is ridiculous to look like ‘tone of the crowd, ’ and so they make a statement with their attire, feeling that fashion speaks louder than words. The punk look became an obsession with some. AG a As shown by these students, no two people are ever totally alike and neither are their fashions.

Gloria Washington, Complex Prin- cipal and McEvoy B Principal; Gerald Stuart, McEvoy A Principal; Harold Perdue, Willingham A Principal; Anne Hadarits, Will- ingham B Principal, and Roger Greene, Vocational Supervisor, all share the mammouth task of supervising the South-Five Campus which houses over 3,500 students! Being a principal includes responsibilities such as supervising building maintenance, disciplining students, fostering spirit among students, and above all, building an environment which en- courages learning. The relationship of mutual respect and cooperation among these administrators is one of the major strengths of Southwest. Opposite page: Harold L. Perdue, Principal — WA.

The tasks assigned to the counselors and media specialists are by nature distinctly different. However, there are similarities, for both groups offer challenges and assistance to the students, faculty, and parents of Southwest. They both offer moral support and inspire students to strive for excellence. They also give students an opportunity to think for themselves and to evaluate themselves in the world around them. Counselors offer ideas for jobs and course offerings, as well as being there whenever a student feels a need to talk. Their doors are always open to students needing assistance whether it be for per- sonal problems or scholastic advice. Media specialists play an integral part in offering literature of all forms to the Southwest student body. Libraries can be open to entire classes or they can be a place of refuge for peace and serenity to fill one’s individual needs. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Nina Anderson counsels a student.

They were Trudy Norris, Vivian Mims, and James Barfield. Trudy Norris was further honored by be- ing selected Bibb County Teacher of the Year for 1985. They shared some of their feelings about education. Mr. Barfield said that, “Education shapes your life — personal and professional.’’ Mrs. Mims stated, “Education must prepare students for a career. ’ Mrs. Norris’ feelings were, “Since ‘God don’t make no junk,’ every person | teach is valuable.” Yet another honor was bestowed upon Southwest by the Macon Courier’s selection of Gloria Washington as Educatcr of the Year for Bibb County. Her reaction upon learning of this was, “elation tempered with humility ... a desire to do a better job.” LEFT TO RIGHT: Trudy Norris, Bibb Teacher of the Year and Gloria Washington, Bibb Educator of the Year, share in each other's joy at being recognized for their excellence.

Each of these teachers has influenced me in some aspect of my character. One type of teacher, the one we all know and love, is very meek and mild. Often he is considered too trusting and quite naive. Although some may take ad- vantage of his character, | have benefit- ted. He has taught me _ patience, calmness, and compassion. Another, usually less liked-type, is demanding and firm. This teacher fre- quently is referred to as ‘‘mean,’’ or “strict, ’ and is labeled with a variety of pet names. He may be despised by large crowds, but | admire his strength. He has taught me promptness, and exactness. | have learned to be more assertive and to voice my opinion. These teachers’ influences have taught me responsibility, dedication, and deter- mination. Most importantly, these special individuals have nourished a desire within me — a desire to teach. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Robert Floyd, science teacher, talks with a parent.

Faculty — 95 96 — Faculty Interesting First Year Experiences New to the teaching profession this year are Jamie Akin, Teresa Bunch, Dannah Graham, Mary Savage, and John Schatz. When surveyed, three of these teachers shared some of their feelings about their first year of teaching. When asked what their most interesting experiences have been dur- ing this year, Mary Savage replied, ‘‘It is amazing that in a room of thirty students, a teacher has thirty different personalities to try to teach and motivate. It is quite a challenge to reach out and help each one learn by using the method most beneficial to him.’ Another response to this question was from Dannah Graham who said, ‘Students are always coming up with a better idea ora better way to do a project. Teaching has become a learning experience for me.’’ John Schatz feels that ‘“‘Academics have rhythm. You may have to listen very hard to feel it, but it’s there. Once you feel it, you may find it's not your rhythm but you've learned to appreciate it for whatever it is.”’ LEFT TO RIGHT: Mary Savage relaxes after a busy day Dannah Graham is all smiles about her first year of teaching.

Through the years, her hobby has flourished. Even with a busy schedule, Annie sews at least twelve hours per week. Among her creations are a summer and winter wardrobe. Annie not only makes her own clothes, but she has also put her skills to work by making her church choir robes. Annie plans to con- tinue her avocation in the future by making her own clothes and those of her future family. Combining all this sewing with her desire to travel, Annie Bouie will certainly be a busy young woman.

David Chesnut has a dif- ferent approach to collec- ting. As a collecter of beer cans, he has_ involved himself in a hobby that is unfamiliar to most people. At the age of twelve, he began collecting cans and has been an avid collecter ever since. David has col- lected over 200 cans that he has obtained from various places around the world. He likes his hobby because he feels it is quite unique and he_ boasts, “Whenever people come in and see my beer can display, they can’t bejeve there are so many kinds. ”’ Sylvia Coleman Nancy Collier Seniors - 122 - Seniors Kelly Collins Sandie Collins Brian Colquitt Cathy Connell Crystal Conroy Tracey Copeland Johnnie Corey Teresa Corley Angie Couch Deena Crowell Imogene Crowell Christina Crumpton Seniors Tammie Culver Jonathan Culverhouse Scott Cumbie Angela Curry Charles Curtis Teresa Danielly Adriene Davis Joseph Davis Valerie Curtis Sharon Daniels Aretha Davis Larry Davis Shirley Cuyler Tracy Daniels Bridget Davis William Davis Wayne Dail Daniel Darden Dallas Davis Wesley Day Seniors - 123 124 - Seniors Rob Eldridge spends every spare moment with either a pencil or paint brush in his hand. He feels, ‘‘Art is something you have to keep practicing because you can always get better.’’ As a child, Rob was interested in art and over the years, he has developed his hobby into a pro- mising profession. Included in the several awards and honors he has received for his artistic abilities is placing in a national competition held in New York. Rob plans to at- tend The Savannah School of Art and Design and some- day become a commercial artist. Maybe in a few years, you will be seeing his art in publications and exhibits across the country.

He has been involved in a number of statewide and national races. He sees skating as not only a way to receive recognition, but also as a chance to meet new people who share his same interest. The recipient of several medals and rib- bons, some of which are pictured in this photograph, Brad has raced for the Georgia Speed Club in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and has raced in Jackson, Mississippi. The only regret Brad has is that he does not have enough time to devote to his exciting hobby.

Beth became interested in camping about seven years ago when she joined a youth group. Each year the group don their camping apparel, pack up their gear, load the bus, and “‘head for the mountains.’”’ Beth has been white water rafting on the Nantahala and the Oconee Rivers and has been to Cloudland Canyon. Beth feels the time that she spends in the outdoors gives her a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world and from the hardships of being a senior.

His uncle, one of the foremost racoon hunters in the United States, taught Greg all the necessary skills. Greg feels it is a hobby that does not get enough recognition from other hunters or the general public. Clad in camoflage clothing and hip waders, with a gun at his side, he trapses through knee-deep mud in search of a nest full of racoons. Though it seems somewhat strange to most people, to Greg, hunting by moonlight in the swamps is the ultimate pleasure. Pleasure, however, is not the only reason for Greg's hobby for he earns from $15 to $35 for each skin.

Pernilla comes to Southwest High School by way of Sweden. Although she was born in Linkoping, Sweden, Pernilla has traveled throughout Europe visiting countries such as Switzerland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, and France. She has always wanted to live in the United States. Pernilla arrived in Macon in August of 1984, and was welcomed by her American family, Chuck and Kathy Faircloth. She feels the differences between her homeland and the United States are what make her stay here more interesting. She says that even though the differences were at first hard to over- come, she likes the United States very much and her visit here is one she will cherish for the rest of her life. Pernilla’s interests include dancing and traveling, but she is also in- volved in acting — as witnessed by her participation in the Senior Play.

Influenced by the high fashion models from television and international magazines, Michelle has wanted to be a model since the early age of thirteen. The thought of the glamour and ex- citement in a career of modeling and fashion design led Michelle to enroll in classes at the Barbizon School of Modeling in Atlanta, Georgia where she learned the finer points of modeling. Michelle has won several awards for modeling which include third place in the J.C. Penny Fashion Expo and Best Model Look for the Month at Bar- bizon. After graduation from Southwest, she plans to at- tend Bauder College in Atlanta, Georgia, and to study Fashion Merchandising. At this point in time, becoming a model is one of the most important goals in her life, and she is confident that one day she will be seen on the cover of magazines such as Glamour, Essence, and Vogue. If Michelle’s dreams come true, you will find a celebrity's face in your yearbook.

James, who was the winner of a Young Columbus Trip to Denmark and Norway, also attended the Model United Nations in Washington, D.C. with members of his Foreign Relations Class. James plans to join the Navy. He feels, ‘ .. . Being a triplet has not significant- ly changed my life.” Robin Toole Clifton Tucker Seniors - 149 150 - Seniors Some people collect coins, some collect stamps; the rich collect cars and Laurie Pelt collects soaps. Inspired by her great- grandmother, Laurie began her somewhat unorthodox hobby nearly six years ago. Her distincive soaps, some of which are over twenty years old, range from Gar- field to Yoda and stem from butterflies to spools of thread. The older and by far more precious soaps, which were Christmas gifts, are quite special to her. Whenever Laurie sees a new, intiguing, and unusual- ly different soap that ap- peals to her, it is added to her quite extensive collection. Perhaps Laurie’s future children will continue their mother’s hobby.

Through scouting, Ouida has been to California to attend a computer orientation course at a college there. Steve attended the 1981 National Jamboree _ in Fredricksburg, Virginia. Chris has been to New Mexico, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina and a Na- tional Scout Jamboree with over 33,000 other scouts. Robert has earned a number of badges through scouting and was the rece- pient of the Handicapped Merit Badge. Steve, Chris, and Robert have reached the point where they have received or are about to receive the Eagle Scout rank. These four Southwest seniors see scouting as a chance to learn respon- sibility, build lasting friend- ships, develop themselves physically and mentally, and as a way to enjoy themselves as they help others.

Jazz Ensemble — 235 236 - Chorus The Music Makers The Choral Department, under the leadership of veteran director Doris Terry, was divided into a number of performing groups. Volunteer singers composed a group called the Madrigals. They patterned themselves after the wandering entertainers of the Renaissance. The members even made costumes based on the dress worn by the original singers. The Jazz Rock Ensemble entertained at nursing homes, elementary schools, and at various school functions. These singers were unique since they danced to their songs. The Concert Choir was composed of the entire chorus—sopranos, altos, tenors, and bases. Members must audition to win a place in this select group. The Girls’ Choir and the Boys’ Choir were also filled by individuals who auditioned. The first performance of the Chorus was the Yuletide Musical at Macon Junior College. Another major presentation was done jointly with the Southwest Band during the spring.

A new advisor, Sue Kalbfleish and a new publisher were the first of two changes this year. Billy Lacefield, Editor, explained that the focus of the school paper was “mainly on academics and their impor- tance.”’ The three issues of the paper contained many features about the academic excellence and achievements of Southwest. Julie Graham wrote a music col- umn which presented reviews of various songs and albums, Billy Lacefield and Victoria Smith wrote a column spotlighting outstanding students, and Charles Looney hand- led sports news. The small staff worked diligently and found their efforts rewarded by a first place award for the Patri-Article at the Georgia Scholastic Press Association meeting in Athens. The school literary magazine, Mon- tage, chose a very popular motif and theme for their 1985 publication—that of campus graffitti. Associate Editor, Candy Rozier, stressed the fact that students from all over the complex, not just the Montage Staff, contributed to the magazine. The staff spent long hours preparing copy for publication. The reward was a truly unique magazine which portrayed every 240 - Patri-Article Montage aspect of life at Southwest. Members of the staff, which was capably advised by Sherry Taylor and edited by Janet Bray and Lee Candelaria, were also very sucessful at GSPA. Gwen Middleton won an award for her feature photography, and Janet Bray and Jeff Rutherford won awards in the short story category.

The Complex Council was com- posed of a distinguished group of students made up of the individual class officers who were elected by the entire student body, complex officers, and class representatives. These students along with advisor Betty Stewart, plan most activities for the school year. The Council began the year by writing a new constitution which established guidelines under which the Council would operate. Members of Council made signs for all sporting events, coordinated all of the Homecoming activities, made in- dividual calendars for each building, and posted monthly calendars in supervisions. They were responsible for the large bulletin boards in each building, coordination of club days, sales of class jerseys, helping with Honors Day, and planning for Goofy Goblin Week. The Complex Council in- stituted Senior Week, a week of scheduled activities devoted solely to Seniors. Included in the week’s plans + = Council Plans Activities were a trip to the movies, practicing for graduatio n, a talent show, and Honors Day. The Red Cross Blood Drive as well as the selling of Santa Claus Choco-Pops at Christmas were spon- sored by the Council. In the spirit of Christmas, council members also filled boxes of food and delivered them to needy families. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Candidates for Goofy Goblin show off their Halloween costumes.

Each contributed to the establishing of the firm founda- tion on which the school stood. The Pep Club was advised by the enthusiastic Charles Murphy. The organization spon- sored the popular intramural basketball games. In overtime, the Industrial Arts Club defeated Frater Sodalis for the champion- ship. The Sweetheart Corona- tion, an annual event, was once again well attended. Crowned Miss Sweetheart was Joy Webb. The Art Club is directed by Lisa Thomas and Dannah Graham. One of the club’s pro- jects was the painting of a mural for the school. The club also hosted the Second Annual Art and Photography Show in con- junction with Youth Art Month.

With the addition of ninth graders, the club has reached an astounding size of 233 members! Each was admitted into the club for achieving at least a 3.6 average which must be maintained. Aside from a being good student, members were expected to participate in at least half of the activities. Among those activities were service projects such as selling doughnuts with the profits going to fight muscular dystrophy. The club also paid for Johnny Hidgon's lunch for four months and donated food to his family at both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Also dur- ing the Christmas season, Beta’s gave personal hygiene items to the Macon Rescue Mission. To raise money for the annual Georgia Beta Convention, Beta members participated in a Cook’s Catalog Sale, cake sale, and pom-pom sale. They also sold Happy-Hearts that were delivered to supervisions on Valentine’s Day. The profits from the sucker sale helped fund the Tim Stin- son Memorial Scholarship that was awarded to an outstanding Senior Beta Member on Honor’s Day. Excited Betas filed into the bus headed for Atlanta where the annual Georgia Beta Convention was held. Over forty members and six advisors, Gwedolyn Bell, Laura Kersey, Judy Moore, Gail Springstead, Pam a Wacter, and Ann Wilder, attended the convention. The club's president, Jada Neal, who was also the State Beta President, presided over the meetings held during the convention weekend. In academic competitions, Richard Dunlap was first runner-up in math and he was the recipient of the W. C. Whitley Scholarship. To conclude such a busy and memorable year, Betas met on the evening of May 7th in the McEvoy B cafeteria for the second annual Beta Banquet. After the 160 Beta members who were present were served, newly tapped Betas received certificates and pins. Officers for the 1985-86 school year were announced and _ special awards were given in recognition of outstanding Betas. The evening con- cluded in two slide presentations spotlighting the Seniors. It was an evening of honor and excellence, not soon to be forgotten by anyone who attended. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Beta Club Officers. First Step: Jada Neal, resident; Chris Hall, Vice President.

PDON He PUR Beta Club - 249 250 - Civitan The Meaning of Civitan Civitan may be just the title of a club, but this one word means many different things to different people. To a large number of senior citizens, Civitan means joy. As a service pro- ject, the Civitans helped Macon Telegraph and News columnist, Bill Boyd, in serving guests at his annual over 80 Birthday Club Party. The Civitans were complimented by Bill Boyd in an article To those in children’s homes, Civitan means happiness. To benefit the home, the club held a carwash and sold Blow Pops. They also assisted Volunteer Macon and WMGT in a can- ned food drive for the needy. The Civitans whole-heartedly at- tended meetings held in Albany, Col- umbus, and on Jekyll Island. It is quite obvious that the club is extremely ac- tive in the community. The members’ caring personalities and dedication have won the hearts of many in the city of Macon.

Taking Part The Southwest Civinettes have always been an extremely active club and this year was no exception! The Civinettes served the 2,000 senior citizens at Bill Boyd’s Over 80 Birthday Party and also helped decorate the coliseum for this event. For Halloween, the club arranged a party with refreshments and entertainment for the children of the Methodist Home. At Thanksgiving, Civinettes provided several needy families with food baskets filled with the fixings for Thanksgiving dinner. Money raised by doughnut sales was contributed to Yellow Ribbon Day to help the mental- ly retarded. During American Educa- tion Week held in November, Civinet- tes placed cakes and other snacks in the teacher’s lounges. At Christmas, members donated personnal hygiene items and other practical gifts for the battered women at the Macon Rescue Mission. Also during the festive season, Civinettes collected toys for the Toys for Tots campaign. With spr- ing approaching, Civinettes supervised and directed children who participated in Project Smile held at Westgate Mall and they were runners at the Health Fair which was held in the coliseum. Again this year, the Civinettes joined the Civitans on Jeckyll Island for the State Civitan Convention where they attended meetings and workshops. In an awards ceremony, Civinettes received first place for attendance, first runner up in community projects, and first runner up for most improved.

Because of the over-abundance of club members again this year, VOCA was divided into two clubs—one head- ed by Clementine Wyche, the other by Maston Bell. Mrs. Wyche's club was kept busy with a multitude of activities. Among them was a campus beautification pro- ject. Other scheduled activities were projects at day care centers and hospitals. During holiday seasons, they sponsored a food drive for needy families at Thanksgiving, provided toys for children at Christmas, and visited nusing homes on Valentine’s Day. Mr. Bell's chapter of VOCA also took part in many activities throughout the year. Thanksgiving and Christmas projects were planned for needy families and those in convalescent homes. Club members had a picnic at Lake Tobesofkee, went to Six Flags, and had a Christmas party. Both clubs participated in regional and state VOCA competitions. For the state tournaments, members traveled to St. Simons Island where they met with VOCA students from all over the state. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: VOCA Officers.

VOCA - 257 258 - VICA VICA Leads The VICA Club was organized to provide students enrolled in trade, in- dustrial, and technical education the opportunity to develop leadership abilities through participation in educa- tional, vocational, civic, recreational, and social services. The VICA Clubs are under the leadership of Dorothy Black and Calvin Miller. To become a member of VICA students must be enrolled in the Diver- sified Cooperative Training Program and have a career objective in the trade and industrial areas. Members must be employed in that career area. Although many students not involv- ed in VICA see the class as a way to get out of school early, the club is ex- tremely active. Members raised money to help Johnny Hidgon purchase groceries. At Thanksgiving, VICA members prepared a food basket for a needy family. The club also adopted a convalescent home. Members attend- ed local, district, and state leadership and skills meets and they observed VICA Week. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: VICA Officers.

These goals have provided the foundation and motiva- tion for the four Southwest FHA Chapters as they served both their school and their community. The FHA Hero Chapter, advised by Norma Hutchings, adopted residents of a local nursing home who received gifts and visits on special occasions. They also catered a faculty Christmas party and the Second Annual Art and Photography Show. FHA |, advised by Vivian Hughes, pro- vided a Thanksgiving basket for a special family and delivered treats to the children of the Bibb Training Center. Members par ticipated in the FHA State Convention, National FHA Week Celebration, and the| FHA 40th State Birthday Celebration. FHA Il, advised by Veronica Collins- Calhoun, also adopted a nursing home and helped needy families with food baskets at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break. FHA || members attended the fall and spring district meetings, the State FHA Convention, and FHA Camp Day. FHA Ill, advised by Janie Wach and Elizabeth White, bought food for the Red Cross Thanksgiving Food Drive and made Christmas and Valentine cards for nursing home patients.

Richard Douglass took the helm as new advisor and proceeded in- to the rebuilding year with enthusiasm. Throughout the year club president, Leslie Robinson, demonstrated strong leadership and organization abilities. He used these abilities to lead the club through a car wash where over $200 was raised. The club also helped an elderly couple by cleaning their yard. Mr. Douglass looks forward to the ‘86 school year as he has hopes for increased club membership. “The new ruling thwarted many traditional activities of the Photography Club, ’ stated G. E. Amos, the club’s advisor. Unfor- tunately, all of the plans fell through. The bright spot that stood out in the ‘85 school year for the Photography Club was the top three placings by members Henry Taylor, Patty Thigpen, and Tonya Taylor in the Art and Photography Show. The Drama Club, like the Octagon Club, was also on the rebound. Caroline Leonard, the advisor, was unable to supervise the club last year. With Mrs. Leonard once again advis- ing, the club sponsored a talent show and sold items to fund their trip to New York. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Photography Club Of- ficers.

International Relations Club members participated in Georgetown University’s North American Invita- tional Model United Nations in Washington, D.C. Under the guidance of advisor Virgina Phillips, the club has attended the Model U.N. for three years. This unique experience gives students the opportunity to actually understand how the United Nations operates. Through serious role playing, they literally experienced the ‘‘thrill of victory’’ and the “agony of defeat’’ and although the battles of the Model U.N. were at times frustrating, the overall experience and insight gained were certainly rewarding for Interna- tional Relations Club members who attended. Southwest's Debate Team which had its start last year was coached by a Pi. 278 - international Relations Debate Team Sherry Taylor. The team’s goal was to train interested students for competi- tion in high school debate tournaments across the state, culminating in regional debates. To be such a young team, the debators have done remarkably well. In one tournament, Chuck Pecor, a ninth grader, recieved First Place Affirmative Speaker. Amanda Pecor and Richard Dunlap were awarded Third Place Negative Team at a tournament in Raburn.

Members competed in region and state tournaments and many par- ticipants were top winners in competi- tions, often having perfect scores. The Science Bowl, under the direc- tion of Jimmy Hinson, has only been an organized body of students for two years. Members have won various awards when competing with schools from all over the state The Academic Bowl’s purpose was to sharpen students’ wits, make them better informed, and of course to win matches against other schools! The bowl’s advisor was James Barfield. Weekly contests were held between members to help keep them in prac- tice. They participated in local and state tournaments and they were in- volved in a special interstate competi- tion in Jacksonville, Florida. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Perfect scorers in math meets.

The task re- quires individuals who, when combined, balance and complement one another's ideas and creations. It certainly can be said that the Spirit of '85 Staff was composed of such individuals. Staff members varied from prim and proper, to punk, macho, sophisticated, comic, and of course, unclassified people termed “‘normal.”’ This unique group of individuals may have appeared to contrast greatly in all areas, but when working together, appearance and personality were forgotten. A common goal bonded the divergent staff — the desire to pro- duce an outstanding yearbook.

Annual Staff — 309 CBibb County Public Schools SOUTHWEST HIGH SCHOOL To Whom It May Concern: The task which faces any Southwest Annual Staff is indeed mammoth, since the book has a reputation for being one of the largest and best in the state. It is definitely one of the most expensive, costing approximately $40,000 to publish. This year's book may have been even more of a challenge than usual, for the majority of the staff were novices. One senior, two juniors, thirteen sophomores, and two new advisors could have been overwhelmed by the endeavor, if it were not for some very special people. Les Parsons and Tamara Smith from Taylor Publishing Company were always ready to lend a helping hand be it with an artistic, technical, or financial problem. Larry Naylor from Southeastern Portraits was a constant source of inspiration and on occasion, a miracle worker. Faculty members - those of you who were always solicitous about our progress, those of you who encouraged your supervisions to pay for their books, those of you who greeted Staff Members with a smile - we are sincerely appreciative. Administrators in all buildings extended to us innumerable courtesies. Mr. Perdue, thank you for allowing us to use your facilities for senior pictures; Ms. Hadarits, thank you for the use of your building and your understanding; and Mr. Stuart, thank you for your patience. And now, Mrs. Washington. There cannot possibly be another principal who is more supportive, more helpful, more full of love for her school. Her attitude and advice throughout the year have been meaningful and appreciated. We thank you!

With an extra thousand bodies on the now South- Five campus, it would surely be understandable to feel lost or swallow- ed up in a crowd. That is largely why the Staff and | chose the theme “NOT JUST ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL — NOT JUST ANOTHER FACE IN THE CROWD.” Identity is important in today’s world—everyone has the deep need to be known or recognized by his or her peers. We, as the future leaders of America, must establish our own iden- tities and distinguish ourselves from those around us. Naturally there may be those whose accomplishments seem to outshine our own, but we must continue to establish personal goals and strive with determination to meet them—to create our own identity. If ever we lose that identity, we have become just another brick in the wall—just another face in the crowd. With a lot of determination and a great deal of work, our goals will be realized. When they are realized we progress and as we progress, so do our community and our country. Keep in mind what you would like to do, what you plan to make of yourself. You have a whole life before you to do as you will. You have the opportunities available to distinguish yourself from the crowd. Take advantage of what life has to offer you and in return, don’t hesitate to encourage others to follow the path you have chosen. |, as well as the entire Annual Staff, hope that our theme will mean as much to you as it has to us. Producing the Spirit of ‘85 has certainly been an arduous task, but it was done with pleasure. To the Senior Class | present my gift to you, the Spirit of ‘85. Can) H bbw Editor's Message - 311 As | sit back lost in a daydream, wondering why we were sent to this earth; Is it just to live, love, fight, and IN die, or is it something beyond man’s ability to comprehend? Is there a God and a devil, or a heaven and hell, or is life one big game that some heavenly being is playing like chess? If there is a God, why does he make our hearts hurt whenever we lose a loved one? Why does he let us fight wars and kill his own creation? I guess the only ones who know are those who have already seen life and are experiencing another one beyond our own boundaries of imagination. O EY O By J J I N iP Joey Joiner 312 — Memorial Page
