Saga ’81 Spartanburg High School, Spartanburg, S.C. Vol. XI An aerial riew of Spartanburg High School reveals the entire campus from a totally new angle. Table Of Contents Here We Go Again As the last days of summer came to a close, students busily prepared for the opening of school. Last minute trips to the beach were a final activity for some students, while lounging around local swimming pools soaking up the last summer sun occupied other students’ time. Cruising around town trying to find something exciting to do and going to parties and movies accounted for much of the night life of the last days of summer. Much too soon, the dreaded day arrived. Some students came to school in newly-purchased clothes while others simply wore old jeans and t-shirts. The more prepared students had already anticipated the type of school supplies needed and came to school with brand new spirals, notebooks, bookbags, pens and pencils. Others waited until the last possible minute to make these important purchases. Student Body President. Doris Gaffney. delivers her acceptance speech during the Student Council installation.

The sophomores grew accustomed to the large crowds in the hallways, the juniors realized with some dismay that they were neither the youngest class nor the oldest and settled into their middle position with anticipation of the hard work ahead. The seniors took advantage of their position as leaders of the school and set good examples for the other classes to follow. Soon the clubs began to reorganize by having meetings and trying to recruit as many members as possible. With 36 clubs to choose from, almost all the students became involved in at least one if not more. While the clubs played an important role in upholding Spartan High's image of success, the sports program helped to maintain this image as well. New additions to the coaching staff helped to provide a stronger athletic program and enabled all teams to represent Spartan High with pride. Pep rallies led by the cheerleaders brought out everyone's spirit which carried over into the games as the fans cheered the teams to victory. Crowned as Anchor's September Playmate.

Courses offered were designed, as in years past, to meet the needs of all students; from vocational to college preparatory. A final change from the quin system to the semester brought about mixed feelings from the students, but the teachers were unanimous in the opinion that the semester system was better for the overall program.

Opening 7 The Power Being one of the largest schools in the state does not automatically make a school one of the best. This distinction is earned when students, faculty, and staff work together to achieve success. At Spartanburg High School THE POWER OF GOLD is in evidence. The power is represented by the school colors of blue and gold. It is demonstrated by the school spirit shown at pep rallies and games. Recognition of faculty and students for scholastic, musical, and art abilities Of Gold prove the power exists in the academic program. Clubs and organizations show the power while serving the school and community. Successful sports teams are additional evidence that THE POWER OF GOLD exists and does indeed make Spartanburg High School one of the best. leading I he Seniors lo victory in the class cheering competition during the annual Homecoming bonfire arc Keith Cox and Frank Lyles.

These activites were only a few of the many aspects of student life at Spartan High. Something exciting was always happening in which everyone was involved at one time or another. The variety of students participating in all these activites helped to create the chaotic atmosphere which flooded the halls each day. Besides the routine interests, a number of extracurricular activities were also available which accounted for a large portion of the students’ time. Between these class activities and extra-curricular activities, students rarely found time or energy to devote to anything else. Despite the different interests of the students, Spartanburg High School once again proved its power by offering something to interest everyone. Spirited Juniors dance in rhythm to the cheers during the pre-Homecoming bonfire. During a regular lunch period, students crowd into the old student center to eat and socialize.

The Last After weeks of decisions, preparations, and anticipation, the spectacular and long-awaited event finally came to pass; Homecoming ’81. The theme corresponded to the rebirth of western styles and was entitled The Last Roundup. Escorted by Keith Cox, Avis Weathers was crowned the 1980-81 Homecoming queen at halftime of the football game. Her honor attendants were Donna Fulbright and Trina Steen. The pre-Homecoming activities that took place the week before the actual game proved to be as exciting as Homecoming itself. The constant rivalry between Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores was as strong as ever throughout Judged as winner of the faculty costume contest for Homecoming. Mrs. Pam Seifert displays her Western outfit. Roundup the entire week. The Seniors came out on top at the end of the week when the competition finally ended. At the Thursday night bonfire, the Seniors won the pyramid building contest, while the Sophomores won the sack race and the Juniors won the tug-of-war. Seniors also won the spirit stick at the pre-game pep rally. When the winners of the float and spirit chain link contest were announced at the game the next night, the Seniors were once again victorious. In spite of the rivalry and competition, Homecoming generally brought a feeling of genuine school spirit that was evident in the students and at the activities that occurred throughout the entire week. 12 Homecoming Delighted by its originality, the crowd admires Mr. James Jeter's Homecoming costume.

The students did take advantage of the theme to show off all their Western clothes. The parade began in the First Presbyterian Church parking lot and ended with a pep rally at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. The activities that took place and the sights that were viewed in between these two locations were too numerous to name. Class floats with students following behind, convertibles carrying Homecoming queen candidates, and all sorts of decorated cars and vehicles were representative of the parade scene. The main event of the Homecoming parade was the pep rally that immediately followed, spiriting everyone up for the big game later that evening against the Rock Hill Bearcats. Fired up with spirit, the pep rally crowd assembles at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium after the parade. Enjoying themselves as they ride on the float, sophomores Laura Maw, Susan Toms and Isabel Alexander get into the spirit of Homecoming.

During a pep rally skit. Student Council members imitate the Dorman football team. Rallies Boost School Spirit What did the majority of the students look forward to each week of a home game? The answer is obvious; the pep rally. The enthusiasm shown at pep rallies was remarkable. The school spirit exhibited was evidence of the support that students had for their team and school. Skits performed by the Varsity cheerleaders sometimes included other students and provided entertainment in addition to the cheers and pom-pom routines. Of course, the band was there to perform and also contributed to the excitement. It was a common practice for some students to shorten or give up their lunch periods in order to get a seat down front where the action was. But no matter where they sat, students at the pep rallies showed spirit and vitality that could not be missed or ignored.

Various colleges and organizations recognized the abilities of many Spartan High students and honored them with much-appreciated awards and scholarships. Some of these awards included Wofford and Furman scholars. National Merit semi-finalists. National Merit Letters of Commendation, and Optimist Teenagers of the Year, to name a few.

Individual Achievements 19 Living For The Weekend When the final bell rang on Friday afternoon, the halls seemed noisier than usual and the parking lots emptied quicker than normal. The reason for this was quite obvious; the weekend! Most students could be seen throughout the day on Friday making plans for the weekend with their friends. Mr. Gatti's pizza restaurant was a popular gathering place after football and basketball games. The main attraction of Mr. Gatti's was the giant television screen. Another popular activity was going to the movies. Whether it was a horror movie, comedy, or love story, movies attracted students on Friday and Saturday nights. During football and basketball season, many students showed up to support their favorite teams, and then went to popular places such as The Beacon, Pizza Inn, Pizza Hut, or maybe even a party. Whatever the students did, it was certain that they made the most of the weekends so that they could return to school on Monday with pleasant memories. The Pizza Hut is a popular place for some students to hang out on the weekends Pigging out. Sherry Smith.

A Welcome Break In The Daily Routine As the senior lunch bell rang, seniors took advantage of one of their privileges by leaving class one minute earlier than underclassmen. Doing this enabled them to beat the crowd and get in the front of the lunch line. The lunch lines filled quickly and instead of waiting to get a hot meal, many students chose to bring a bag lunch from home. However, a variety of hot lunches and a salad bar were available to those who wanted it. The students who chose not to eat lunch at all usually gathered in the lobby, or on the front steps and courtyards to discuss the day's gossip. Lunchtime was an important time because it enabled students to see and talk with friends whom they seldom saw. It also gave people a chance to discuss the day’s activities, and to make plans for the weekends. Many people flocked around the guidance office, inquiring about college information and obtaining SAT forms. Seniors were allowed to eat in the Senior Lounge for most of the year as another privilege; however, carbonated drinks were no longer allowed to be sold in the vending machines due to a new state law. In whatever way students spent their lunch period, it was a necessary and important part of the day, not only for eating, but for being with friends as well. A nice hot lunch is a welcomed sight for Sharon Layton and Rusty Wilkie. The courtyard provides a nice place to eat in warm weather for Seniors Jeff Hall. Brian West, and Keith Cox. Lunch is a busy time for the Guidance Department as students eagerly wait to speak with counselors. Lunch time provides Eddie McDowell with an opportunity to work out a schedule problem with Mrs. Patty Riemcnsnider. Lunch 23 The Main Event One of the big events of the 1980-81 school year was the Presidential Election. Almost all the history and government classes followed the election from the primaries to the nominating conventions, the campaigning, and finally, the results of the election. Some students worked at campaign offices for local political candidates, and others wore buttons displaying their political preferences. As the election day neared, a mock election was held at the school by the BLUE PRINT to see who would win the Presidential race. At the amazement to some. President Carter came out on top, with Reagan following close behind. However, in the real election, the exact opposite secured. Ronald Reagan ended up winning by a large margin, and went into office on January 20, 1981 to begin the new term. Some students felt that if the hostages had been released prior to the election. President Carter would have pulled through as the winner. However, this was not the case. Getting ready to vote, eighteen year olds stand in line preparing to vote in their first presidential election. Election ’80 25 Masses Of Students Bombard Hallways Class change once again brought masses of students to the halls. With only six minutes to get from class to class, students hurriedly stopped at their lockers to leave books from their previous classes and to pick up books for their next ones. Some unfortunate students didn't have any classes near their lockers, so they had to carry a large pile of books with them all day. However, a few students solved this problem by sharing lockers with a friend. While some students were busy going to their lockers, others used their time to talk to friends, stop at nearby water fountains, or spend a few minutes with a boy friend or girl friend. In whatever manner students spent their time, the six minutes always seemed to pass too quickly. As a result, many students could be seen running down the halls trying desperately to be on time. Then the dreaded bell would ring, another class would begin and students would impatiently wait for the next bell so they could crowd the halls once more. Nof one second late, art students flee out of the doors to their next class. Students can be seen stopping to drink at water fountains or hurrying to get to class on time during class change.

After-school jobs occupied much of the time of Spartan High School’s students. Most of the part-time employees agreed that the extra pocket money was nice and even necessary, but all agreed that it was not much fun to work on weekends. While their friends went to sporting events, movies, parties, or even over to other people’s houses, these students had to work and uphold certain responsibilities. Popular places of employment included most of the fast-food restaurants such as Hardee’s, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King. Working as a cashier or a bag boy at supermarkets was another popular job, as was wai-tressing. Even though the working students had to sacrifice a lot of spare time, most agreed that the positive effects of working definitely outweighed the negative. Enthusiastically wailing on customers.

Many preparations had to be made, however. College applications had to be filled out and submitted for those planning further education, and job applications had to be filled out for those planning to enter the job market. Some students took advantage of their senior year to take as few courses as necessary for graduation, while others went ahead and participated in the Advanced Placement program hoping to gain college credit for their hard work. Senior privileges included use of the Senior Lounge and vending machines during Senior Study Hall and lunch, leaving class one minute early for Senior study hall is one of the priviledges that is awarded to students their last year at SHS. lunch, and getting out of school three minutes earlier than the underclassmen. In addition to these privileges, seniors did not have to take final exams and finished school one week earlier than the rest of the students. The Senior year was filled with many little things which had to be done. Seniors ordered rings either at the end of their Junior year or at the beginning of their Senior year, ordered graduation announcements in the middle of December, and most importantly, were measured for caps and gowns in the middle of the year. All these activities brought the Seniors closer to that seemingly unreachable goal; graduation. And after it was all over, all the years of hard work suddenly seemed worthwhile. Graduation 31 Students read the material assigned to them during Mrs. Anne Arbucklc’s English class. Working to perfect their typing skills, Ted Childers and Bobbie Johnson attentively do their class assignments. 32 Curriculum Division Although some students do not like to admit it, the academics program is the most important part of the school process. Many students would like to do away with English and Math and spend all their time playing basketball or talking to friends in study hall. However, the purpose of school is to learn and Spartan High once again did a great job in providing a varied academic program aimed at meeting all students' needs. Whether the students’ interests or talents lay in math or art, the academics department upheld Spartan High’s quality tradition by having courses to please everyone’s interests.

Presents Challenge Spartanburg High School offered eight different Advanced Placement courses to college bound juniors and seniors. Each course prepared the student to take the A.P. test in the spring. A good score on an A.P. test can earn students several hours of college credit. Because an A.P. course is geared toward the college-bound student and is generally more difficult than regular-level courses, an extra point is added to the grade point average for an A or B In his A.P. Chemistry class. Mr. Troy Bridges shows models of chemical compounds in order to better explain his lesson. earned. A grade below a B does not earn extra credit, but college admissions officials take into account the extra work involved. The eight A.P. courses offered at Spartanburg High School include calculus, English, American history, European history, biology, chemistry, physics, and French. Although there are no A.P. courses offered in Latin, Spanish, or German, administrators hope to restructure these courses so that third year students will be able to take the A.P. tests next year. As part of an A.P. Biology project, students survey the growth of their plants. The A.P. French class discusses French literature with Mrs. Billie Edmonds. A.P.

For instance, there are four new teachers: Mr. Wayne Anthony, Mr. Charles Alexander, Mr. John Davis and Mr. James Kilbreth. These teachers have all had a successful first year and hopefully they will continue teaching at Spartanburg High for many years to come. Mrs. Jessie Small, who is chairman of the Math Department, had many responsibilities. She had to coordinate tests between teachers who teach the same subjects, call meetings, inform the math teachers of staff meetings, visit teachers in her department and assign buddy teachers. She also had the re- Computer Math students take notes as Mr. John Davis discusses the program. sponsibility of supervising the department budget and distributing textbooks and materials. Mrs. Small believed the PSAT-SAT help sessions went extremely well this year. Many teachers helped with the program and many students showed an interest in the sessions. She said that the after school sessions helped the students prepare for the tests and improve their scores. For interested students, there were quite a few math contests where students could compete. These activities involved the students with math outside the classroom, and were exciting for the participants. Math 37 Using one of the many modern machines in Reading Lab.

These rules set forth requirements concerning tardies, bringing supplies to class, rough drafts, and research papers, among other things. Most teachers agreed that these rules helped eliminate waste of class time and gave them more time to cover vital material. In addition to these changes, two new courses were added: Dramatic Literature and Shakespearean Drama. Mrs. Anne Arbuckle. Mrs. Thorne Martin, and Ms. Jody Davis joined the English staff this year. Greater interest was shown in some of the old courses. Reading Lab. which is designed to help students improve their reading skills, was very popular. Many students, found the course helpful in increasing reading speed, comprehension, and enjoyment. Junior Review was also popular. This course is designed to help juniors prepare for the PSAT The English department also sponsored after-school sessions to help students prepare for the PSAT and the SAT. In six sessions, interested students practiced doing exercises on antonyms, analogies, sentence completion, and reading comprehension. These sessions helped give students confidence and may have raised their scores significantly. Instructing her class in the finer points of acting. Mrs. Nancy Whitaker discusses the play. The A.P.

Beginning with the 1981 class, students became subject to a new graduation requirement. While at one time economics and government were elective courses, they are now requirements for graduation. New teachers who became members of the social studies department were Gary Bordogna and Dale Mulwee. A new course offered by the department was anthropology. Social Studies students participated in many interesting events, including an interview with Senator Carroll Campbell and a visit by Rumanian students. Many students find discussions of current events interesting and informative. Taking a final look at her notes. Lisa Stortz prepares for an economics test. History 41 Discovering The Physical World The science department held interest on all levels. Throughout any given day half the student body participated in a science course. Although only one year of science is required, many opted for science as an elective. Students found labs and class demonstrations more interesting than study halls. Students expanded their knowledge with projects which they took to competition in the Junior Academy of Science. Spartanburg rated high on the list of prize- winners among area high schools. The semester system allowed subjects such as geology and astronomy to expand. The students enjoyed a closer relationship with their teachers. Three science clubs. Delta Pi, Jets, and Astronomy allowed outside participation for members. The science department enjoyed much success and was a field with many future opportunities for students.

Scicncc 4.1 A Cultural Experience The Spartanburg High School Foreign Language Department offered many different language courses for its students. The department added German 3 to its list of languages. According to Mrs. Marcelina Goodlett, Spartanburg High School has an advantage over other schools. She says, “All of the teachers are natives or have had extensive training in their language. Because of this, the students get first-hand cultural training. During class, students did several projects to display their language. They sang songs, played games and demonstrated specific foods of their language. Projects such as these made learning a foreign language fun. Learning a foreign language has many advantages. Mrs. Goodlett states that, By learning a foreign language, a person experiences the enjoyment of communication, the strengthening of their own English, and the reassurance for future jobs.

Foreign Languagc 4$ Preparing For The Business World There was a wide interest in the business field at Spartan High, especially in typing, notehand, and shorthand to accounting, filing, and data processing. Besides just notes and study time, these classes had speakers and participated in other interesting activities. The data processing class drew up a flow-chart; wrote, entered, and printed out their own program on the computer. The business courses had several advantages. A business background aids in employability and for personal uses. For instance, the rates to hire someone to type a college paper are $7.50 a page. A business education was a good preparation for a college major in Business Adminstration or a job after graduation. urems li«rU| Students try to think of ways to make a product more appealing in advertising class.

Creativity Encouraged Both Art and Home Economics courses were very popular as elective courses. “Getting ready for life on your own” has been the main objective of Home Arts courses. The courses offered have been geared to prepare the student for domestic life. Single Living, a course designed to teach the students the skills necessary for living on their own, saw a tremendous rise in popularity. Married Life, a popular course from past years, was designed to prepare the student for life after the wedding. Art became a big part of Spartan High life for many students. The highlight of the art classes was the casting class. The class consisted of making jewelry with silver and gold. Students planning to take art classes After their mock wedding. Kathy Williams and Bernard Smith pose for pictures. must first take the basic art course to get them started. Development of artistic talents led eleven students to submit portfolios to the Scholastic Art Program. This program is the largest of its kind. Students also prepared portfolios for college. Mr. MacArthur Goodwin was elected president of the South Carolina Art Association. This will enable Spartan High to host the Annual Convention in 1981. The Art Department began to enhance the art appreciation course. This course taught the history of art and dealt with contemporary art trends. Juniors and seniors considered this a fun and exciting course. Mr. Goodwin felt that increased enrollment in such art classes was a “positive sign for the future of the art department”. Spartan High is lucky to have many courses not offered by some colleges. Art And Home Using precise measurements, Odell Waddell draws his blueprint to scale.

Gaining Practical Experience Industrial Arts and Daniel Morgan Vocational School both offered courses that will help their students in finding good jobs and will prepare them for life. They both offered a variety of courses that appealed to many different people The Industrial Arts program at Spartanburg High is headed by Mr. Bob Sellars and Mr. Brady Curcton. Some of the courses offered are woodworking, hand, power, and marchine tools, architectural drawing, blue print reading, and furniture construction and cabinet making. Architectural drawing was a popular course because people could identify with their own houses. The course was designed so that it would teach people what to look for in buying a house. The Daniel Morgan program is headed by Mr. Jerry Steadman. This program offered such courses as machine shop, welding, business and office education, electricity, auto mechanics, masonry, carpentry, and metal fabrication. This program too, tried to meet the needs of the students to help them in the business world. Mr. Jerry Steadman was quoted a saying, “By 1985, all jobs will require some kind of skill. The students enrolled in this program will have an advantage. It’s very good to have a skill to fall back on later in your life.” 50 lndustrial Arts Daniel Morgan Industrial Seeing students practice putting pockets on shirts.

Donald Nash exhibits one of his many talents. A multitude of different courses were offered by the physical education department. These courses ranged from badminton to archery. A new course was also added which was Advanced Physical Education. This course was offered especially for those students who excell in physical education and it proved to be very beneficial for those who participated in it. Physical education was not considered as an elective, in fact, it was required for one semester in order to graduate. It is, however. considered as an elective after the requirements are met. The head of the physical education department, Mrs. Blondell Ragin. had a tough job indeed. She was responsible for scheduling classes for teachers, and setting up a test file. Despite the hectic pace she had to keep up, Mrs. Ragin thoroughly enjoyed carrying out her various duties. “Our physical education is progressing and we hope to continue this trend in the future,” commented Mrs. Ragin. 52 Physical Education During Volleyball class.

A Worth While Effort The members of the SAGA staff have the responsibility of producing a yearbook that will record all the important events of the year. Staff members began during the summer selling ads to local merchants. Every day during sixth period, SAGA staff members wrote copy, draw layouts, edit, type, crop pictures, fit copy, write captions, and prepare to send the sections to the printer. Staff members also worked after school, on week nights, and Saturdays to meet deadlines. At the end of the year, the staff proudly distributed the finished product to the students. The staff members and the advisor, Mrs. Anne Arbuckle, work very hard to produce a yearbook that will accurately record the events of the year. The SAGA has won several awards in the past, and each year some staff members attend conventions to learn how to make the yearbook even better.

They were the only American band invited. To raise money for their trip, the Band sold fruit and Christmas ornaments. Some of the activities that the Band participated in throughout the year were the South Carolina All-State Band audition, the Spring Concert Festival, the parade for the two-hundredth anniversary for the Battle of Cowpens, the Marching Festival and many more. Our Band has received seven consecutive Outstanding Performance Awards for the S.C. Band Directors Association. They were also one of the four high school bands to be a Guest Performing Band at the 1981 Anglo-International Music Festival in Atlanta. The Band has done extremely well this year. Along with weekly practices, performances, trips, etc., the Band still finds time to play at pep rallies, football games, and school assemblies.

Through this procedure, five classes resulted: two advanced classes, two regular classes, and an ensemble. The ensemble has many extra concerts besides the ones scheduled for the entire chorus, and sings for luncheons and other events. The Chorus performed many times this year. Their first concert was on November 10. They were invited to play with Spartanburg Symphony for the Pops Concert. The Christmas Concert held on December 14 was a big event. Four area high schools, Dorman, During the first assembly of the year, chorus members sing at the Student Council installation. Broome, Boiling Springs, and Spartanburg High participated. The Chorus also had a TV special on WSPA. The program was broadcast twice during the holiday season. On January 17 the chorus performed at the Battle of Cow-pens. Being able to participate in this event was quite an honor since Strom Thurmond and Fritz Hollings were also there. The last concert of the year, the Spring Concert, was April 30. The chorus must start practicing two nights a week for six weeks prior to a scheduled concert. But chorus is not all work and no play, as the seniors have found out. They went to New York the first weekend in May for the special senior trip. Concentrating on getting their moves right, the chorus practices late into the afternoon. The Middle Section used choreography to enhance their performance. Chorus 63 Attempting to pin his opponent during a high school wrestling match is Michael Armstrong. Sports were once again successful at SHS. The football team was under the new leadership of Coach Ellis Johnson, who replaced Bill Carr, and made it to the state playoffs before being defeated. The girls’ tennis team, although they did not win the state championship again, finished high in the state tournament and have great hopes for next year. The cross country team highlighted the sports scene at Spartan High by winning all but two meets en route to winning the State Championship title. The Girls’ basketball team, as well as all the other teams, assisted in upholding the image of Spartan High in the area of sports. Sports 64 Sports Division Seniors Strengthen Young Team The Spartanburg High Varsity football team turned in a respectable 7-4 record, and earned a spot in the state playoffs this season. When asked about his team’s performance. Coach Ellis Johnson said, “It could have been better, but it could have been worse.” The Vikings lost almost the whole coaching staff from last year. “With a new head coach and two new defensive coaches, it’s rough on the players. They have to adjust and the seniors have to gain leadership,” commented Coach Johnson. The Vikes had a large percentage of starters lost to graduation last year. A small group of seniors had to take over the leadership of the team. The team set their goals high for the season. They set a goal to reach the regions, which they did; to go undefeated, which they did not accomplish; and to reach the playoffs, which they did. They were happy with the goals they were able to achieve, even though some went unrealized. Bill Bradshaw had a good year at quarterback again, especially toward the end of the season. But this was a young team, and it took teamwork to bring it all together. The seniors on the team had an overall good year. The team had to throw a lot, but with good receivers and a fine quarterback, they were able to click off yardage. On the offensive line there was only one returning starter, but this was the most consistent part of the whole team. David Carter was the one most consistent player throughout the year, just as he was last year. The linebacking core was small, but they had a good season also. They, as a group, had the most tackles on the team. They were an extremely hard hitting group. Looking for open field. Craig Brcwton (14) to gain extra yardage for the Vikings.

The Vikings were an inexperienced team, with new players and coaches. The Centurions ended the season showing just how strong they were, but at this game they took a 17-14 victory over the Vikings. This was the first time that Broome had ever beaten Spartan High. Spartanburg rebounded from their opening week defeat to trouble T.L. Hanna 31-14. The Vikes were able to do this by surmounting an excellent rushing attack. Spartan High accumulated 313 yards of rushing offense. Also their defense came back to play an excellent second half, practically shutting down the T.L. Hanna offense, to overcome the mistakes the team made and insure a win. The next week the Vikes upped their record to 2-1 as they defeated arch rival Dorman 9-0. The Vikings were able to capitalize on three Dorman fumbles, while overcoming five of its own to take a rain-soaked victory from the Cavaliers. Bill Bradshaw scored the only touchdown of the game and the defense added a safety to collect all of Spartan High’s points. The Vikes next opponent was North- western from whom they took a 9-0 victory. In this game Jerry Taylor quarter-backed for the injured Bradshaw. The Vikes moved the ball up and down the field, but they could not get it into the end zone. The Vikes relied on Bradshaw’s foot to give them nine points on field goals. The next week they took a hard-earned 13-7 Homecoming win over the stubborn Rock Hill team. Coach Ellis Johnson jumped on the Homecoming festivities saying that the players were not mentally ready for the game. The Vikings were down 7-6 with six minutes left in the game. The Vikes rode the passing arm of Bradshaw down the field to set up their touchdown. Bradshaw ran the final points in himself for a keeper. The next week Easley handed the Vikings a 12-7 defeat. Easley used a hard hitting defense and an offense that wore the Vikings defense down. Spartanburg had two chances to put the game away, but they could not do it. The Vikes were not ready for the Easley attack. With plenty of time lo set up. Bill Bradshaw (12) attempts to complete a pass for extra yardage. Securely holding the ball.

Varsity Football 69 Vikings Achieve Preseason Goals The Vikings came back the following week to shut out Lancaster 20-0. The Vikings rode the passing arm of Bradshaw once again to steal the possession of first place in Regional-4A action. The Vikes put out great team effort for the first time in two games. They came out from the start and took control of the game and Lancaster never came back. Bill Bradshaw opened up his passing attack to lead the Vikings to a 31-7 victory over Union. Bradshaw passed for 148 yards including three for touchdowns. The defense played well also, allowing only one touchdown the entire game. The next week the Vikings played Boiling Springs and barely edged out a 17-6 victory. The Vikes had to use a come from behind offense to defeat the Bulldogs in the second half. Coach Johnson attributed the play of his team in the first half to “looking ahead to Gaffney.” When the Vikings played Gaffney, it was a battle of high powered offenses and the defense was left to decide the outcome. The Indians’ defense turned two Spartanburg fumbles into touchdowns. Gaffney took the game over in the first five minutes, but the Vikes did not give up. In the end, Gaffney took a 38-28 victory for the Region 11-4A championship. The Vikings still made it to the state playoffs, but they were forced to play a tough Aiken team which handed them a 31-16 defeat. The game was not as bad as the score indicated, but the air went out of the Viking attack when Bill Bradshaw went down with an ankle injury. Even though they did not make it to the second round, appearing in the play-offs proved to be a great accomplishment for the Vikes. With all their inexperience, they were not expected to go this far. The team, as a whole, turned in a fantastic effort. The players had a difficult task in adjusting to the staff change. Spartan High has not had a coaching staff change in thirteen years, so the seniors really deserve credit for keeping the team together. There was a small group of seniors, but they took charge well. Not everything was changed and corrected this year, but next year will provide more opportunities for improvement. Coach Johnson commented that the coaching change was difficult for him as well as for his players. He said that being head coach, he was separated from his players, as opposed to working with the players as an assistant coach. Next season looks bright for the Vikings. They have a lot of returning players and the addition of the excellent players from J.V. team. For the first time in years, all of the feeder Junior High School teams had winning seasons. This means the immediate future should improve and the 3-4 year range looks excellent. Outrunning the Held.

Competition Improves Skills The Varsity Cheerleaders, under the supervision of Ms. Kathy Newman, did a fine job of leading the crowd in spirit for the Vikings. They put in a lot of hard work to prepare for the season. They went to the Columbia National Cheerleading Camp at U.S.C., and they practiced everyday from 3:30 to 5:30 and sometimes on weekends. They also spent hours planning pep rallies and choreographing dances. For the first time this year, SHS competed in cheerleading camps. They went to the National Atlantic Coast Cheerleading Championships. Out of seventy-five squads, they placed in the top fifteen. The Cheerleaders today use poise, skill, and over-exaggerated movements. They use more gymnastics and stunts than they have had in the past. The cheerleaders also plan to attend more regional meets to gain experience, and their goal is to eventually gain recognition as a championship squad. They would like to do more for the fall sports like cross country. Varsity Football Chccrlcadcrs 73 Agility jnd perfect timing enable Scott Ovsens (II) to deflect an attempted pass by Eastsidc. J.V.

They practiced with a good attitude and played with great skill and determination When asked about the players. Coach Nesbitt replied, “Many players showed a greater ability than we expected. No one was outstanding; it was just a total team effort.” Coach Nesbitt also remarked that the Varsity outlook was bright, and with the offensive ability this young team showed, things should go well. “We had a good offensive line which enabled our tailback to run of our touchdowns.” The team had a 9-1 record, losing in the last 22 seconds to Lancaster. The only comment on this loss by Coach Nesbitt was, “It’s too bad they lost; they really tried hard to be an undefeated team.” When asked for an overall statement, Nesbitt said, “They worked hard, played hard, and tried to be the first undefeated J.V. team in S.H.S.'s history.” Out maneuvering the defense.

The Lady Vikes had a slow start, losing their first matches to Dorman and Boiling Springs. The teams in the past had played their best ball in the second half of the season, but this season the number of games was cut in half. The region teams played once, either home or away; so the Lady Vikes had to prove themselves in the tournament. Although their record didn’t indicate how well they played, they defeated Northwestern and Rock Hill in consolation and lost only to top-seated Boiling Springs. “I feel they improved tremendously towards the end. 1 was very sorry the schedule was cut in half considering our best ball is played in the second half of the season,” stated Coach Blondell Ra-gin. “We are looking forward to a better season next year, because we will have six returning players.” While huddling to boost spirit and morale.

Because they were less experienced than teams in previous years, much hard work and determination was required. “I was very pleased with the outcome of the season. This year was mainly a time for regrouping, commented Coach Susan Dean. Losing five seniors, of which four were starters, took great depth from the team. The girls worked hard and won the region title. They advanced to the state and came in second. Although the team was young. Coach Dean commended them for a job well done. They proved the key factor of their success was their determination. Sophomore Beth Marshall’s hard work guided her from number seven position to number two. “With willingness to play like this, 1 expect the team to be stronger next season.

The team members ran about 500 miles in the summer to prepare for the season ahead. They started in June as a team, and they ran 4 to 10 miles a day from Monday through Friday. Some ran all year round, and it paid off as the team went 114-1-1, placing two members on the all-state team with one honorable mention. The Vikcs also captured the State Championship by defeating Irmo. When asked the team's strategy. Coach Jim Kilbreth replied, “Wc ran as a group and not as a crowd. Their strategy also paid off in the state meet. They followed it to a tee, and the end result was victory. In the state meet we tried to place all runners ahead of lr-mo's fourth man, said Coach Kilbreth. When asked about next year. Coach Kilbreth replied, Hey . . . What can we say? We've got seven runners returning and we're going to try for two consecutive state championships.

Placed against some very stubborn opponents, the team ended the season with a record of 6-8. David Carter and Terry Orner were two of the strongest wrestler. Hopefully a junior high program will be started in an attempt to rebuild the program. “I feel like we had a lot of guys that really put a lot of effort out this year. One of the biggest things that we were lacking is strength. It’s hard to wrestle someone who is a lot stronger and expect to win. I feel we know as much and work as hard as other teams and with time and experience we’ll be able to compete with better schools,” stated Coach Wayne Anthony. Rock Hill, Northwestern, and Byrnes were their toughest opponents. These three schools are the ones which have strong junior high programs. “We only had four seniors this year, two of which started most of the matches. With a lot of hard work, time, and effort we can have a real good team next year. I'd like to thank the people who supported us. It takes a special kind of person to be a wrestler.

Wrestling 83 Winning Tradition Established The 1981 Soccer team experienced its best year ever. They carried a record of 4-0 in the region and an overall record of 11-2. The new coach of the Soccer team, Mr. Gary Bordogna played a key role in the success of the soccer team. The goal for the team was to establish a winning tradition and program which they managed to fulfill. Some of the success of the team could be attributed to the outstanding players of the team who were Robin Williams, Jurgen Ziegler, Mike Bell. Rick Lee, and Phillip Barn, but it was a team effort. The team managed to make its way to the state playoffs. It required having the best record in the region which they did. “Expectations of the playoffs was a learning experience for us. We had a very successful regular season and the playoff experience we gained this year will help build the Vikings into a state power in future years,” comment Coach Bordogna.

Socccr 85 Vikings Overcome Early Slump The Varsity Basketball team overcame an early season slump to take first place in their region with just two region games left to play. The Vikes used the help of some players who joined the team after the first semester to stage their turnaround. The Varsity squad lost a lot of close games early, but mistakes cost them the victory. They started off the year with a young club; but after some players joined the team second semester, they produced a 10-1 record including nine straight victories. During the Viking's winning streak, they played a lot of zone, and used the fast break whenever it was available. They scored a lot of baskets off their fast break. The Vikes also liked to press after they scored. Coach Doug Lowe said his team liked to play a fast tempo game, forcing the action. They were a small team, so they played the full 94 feet of the court. Shooting over his man, Lee Sartor (14) attempts to score for the Vikes. VARSITY TEAM: Front Row: Mitch Burney. Andy Page.

George Adams played a big part in the turnaround. He joined the team late and earned a starting role. He took the pressure off of some of the other players as far as rebounding and scoring were concerned. Lee Sartor was very consis-tant throughout the year at point guard. He ran the offense, called the defense, and ran 90% of the fast breaks. Eric Means was the best rcbounder for the team. Bobby Wilson did an excellent job of shooting the ball, and became a good outside shooter. Arthur Haney played strong at the wing position, even playing brilliantly at times. Marion Madison started earlier in the year, and did real well coming off the bench. Coach Lowe stated, The attitude of this team has been super. When we started off bad, everyone worked hard at practice. We got the rest of our team second semester, and we got everything going. This team just refused to quit. Varsity Basketball ? Successful Season For Lady Vikes The Lady Vikings had by far their best season ever. They should finish first in Region II 4A, ahead of some very strong competition. This region is probably the toughest in the state. The team finished second in the Christmas tournament. They also played against Byrnes in Clemson, winning the game 69-55. They shot an amazing 66% from the floor, and 88% from the foul line. Coach Jane Albright stated that they played like a college team in that game. Byrnes was the number one ranked team in the Peach Blossom Conference. The Lady Vikings started off strong this season, but had a few off games. They were ranked in the top ten in the state for the first time this year. At one time they were ranked number one in their region. The nucleus of the team were Lorraine Foster, Gwen Miller, and Sara Anne Timms. This was the first group to go through Coach Albright's program at Spartan High. They were also Tri-Captains. Loraine Foster became Spartanburg High's all time leading scorer. She scored her 1000th career point Va of the way through this season. She was probably the best player in the state. She had great quickness, and played very unselfishly. Her passes were very impressive, and would often bring the crowd to life. Gwen Miller was a very strong inside player. She was Spartan High's career leading rebounder. She played a key role on defense, and she was very important in breaking presses. Sara Anne Timms was the purist shooter on the team.

Janet Jones came on strong in the middle of the season as a key rebounder and a good defensive player. Leslie Young was a spark plug off the bench who turned some games around. Annette Ellis was the quickest player on the team. She was a strong leaper and she helped to win some games. Coach Albright expects much from her in the future. The Lady Vikes played a fast breaking style of play, favoring a man for man defense. They also pressed often. They used their good defense and presses to win many ball games. The team was an unusually smart one. too. They could pick up things and make offensive or defensive changes quickly. Coach Jane Albright said, “This was a very enjoyable year for me as a coach. Everybody got along, and I couldn’t have had a better group of people. Our goal is to win the State Championship, but it has been a very successful year, no matter what.” Strong Bench Helps Team 92 Girls' Basketball With appologies to Barry Manilow: They bounce the balls that make the whole gym ring; They bounce the balls and set up special things; They bounce the balls that win or lose the games; They bounce the balls, they bounce the balls Girls' Baskctball 93 Leaping high above the opponent.

They entertained the student body at pep rallies with numerous routines, and also stimulated class competition between the Seniors. Juniors, and Sophomores. Long and hard hours of daily practice enabled the cheerleaders to present spectacular performances at games and pep rallies as well.

Varsity Basketball Chccrlcadcrs 95 Experience Keys Viking Victories The Junior Varsity Basketball team used an experienced squad to post a 15-3 record with two games remaining. Their team depended upon who was brought up to the Varsity team, but they posted a better record than they thought they would. Most of the players played in either junior high programs or church league teams. The J.V.’s used good guard play to help them win. The big men had to learn how to score inside, but the defense was the key to their winning season. They worked hard on defense, and it paid off. They used a pressing man for man defense and a 2-1-2 zone to create problems for their opponents. Coach Steve Linder said that things looked good for SHS in the future. They should be able to field strong players next year because the junior high players coming up are good. Coach Linder stated, “In J.V. Basketball, we try to build individual skills and at the same time have a winning team. I feel that we've had a lot of success in both areas this season. The Vikes look on as Willie Simpson.

During that week, the cheerleader candidates from all three junior highs learned cheers and made up cheers. The Varsity Cheerleaders and a faculty committee judged the girls on ability, enthusiasm, and determination. Being chosen cheerleader was just the first step. Many hours of practice and hard work followed. Routines were developed for the pep rallies and games. “They were a good group-cooperative and I thought they did a good job,” said Blondell Ragin their advisor.

The girls won 20 games, the first time for a Spartan High basketball team since 1974; and Lo-raine Foster and Gwen Miller were voted to the all-region team. The boys’ team started off the tournament by beating Boiling Springs. They then lost to Lancaster by one point, but bounced back to take a ten point victoryover Easley to advance to the upper state championship game. They lost this game to top seeded and undefeated Orangeburg-Wilkinson to finish out a fine season. The girls’ team had a fine season that ended in a disappointing three point loss to Aiken in the first round of the state playoffs. But this was after they ran off three wins over good teams. They beat Union in the first round, and then slipped by Gaffney 49-48. They then beat Rock Hill. The team had an excellent season of which they were very proud.

Returnees Camille Smart and Leigh Wood brought experience in the 440 while Stephanie Smart and Janice Jones returned to lead the sprinters. Pam Scurry was back in the shot and discuss events; Charlton Dawkins again led in the jumps. Lucia Davis was running distance for the first time, and Coach Linda Truluck expected her to be a strong contender. T. L. Hanna, Wade Hampton, and Northwestern figured to be strong teams and to provide the roughest competition for SHS. For the first time, the girls' team went to the Carolina Relays to compete with 35-40 other teams.

The Vikings did have some returning seniors who should be competitive. Because the Cross Country team won the state title, the team was strong in the distance events. The jumping and weight events appeared to strong also. The toughest competition the Vikes expected was from Northwestern and Rock Hill in Region II. The Vikes planned to go to several invitational meets in the spring to prepare for the state competition. They ran in meets in Tennessee, Columbia, Charlotte, Rock Hill, and at Broome. Coach Jim Kilbrcth stated, “Our season will depend on how the younger runners progress throughout the year. We should be competitive, and we could place seven or eight people in the state meet.

The team consisted of many young players who lacked tournament experience and for that reason Coach Craig felt that the team should improve during the season. However, he was expecting strong performances from all the returning players. Coach Craig explained that the team lost many seniors last year and as a result he considered this to be a rebuilding year. He still felt that although the team started off slowly in the Furman Invitational, they would be a strong contender for the region title. He predicted that Lancaster would be the hardest competitor in the region and would have a home course advantage since the region tournament would be played there. Coach Craig also seemed to think that “Spartan High's future looks very bright because of the very fine talent that we have in our program. Craig definitely wants golf to improve at the school. Proof of this is the fact that he recruited many junior high players such as Patrick Corn, Christian Williams, and Wayne Vinesett to play with the team explaining that “these students will become the outstanding players for Spartan High in the years to come. Coach Craig looked forward to the rest of the season as the golfers gained tournament experience in order to do well in the region tournament.

The team had unusual depth and quality. Coach John Vasbinder from St. Croix in the Virgin Islands headed the coaching staff which showed no sympathy during practice sessions. Vasbinder commented that it may have been easier to letter in the past, but he intended to make his varsity swimmers work to earn a letter. Vasbinder was displeased with the “state’s organization of swimming,” and he feels that the swimmers deserve more recognition. These dedicated athletes swam up to four mornings and five afternoons every week with a total of 21 hours practice time. Vasbinder commented, “It is not uncommon for the better swimmers to swim 50,000 or more yards in a single week which does not even include the hour of weights every day. The most surprising element of team was the number of younger swimmers coming from the junior highs. Nearly half of the team members had never set foot in Spartan High and yet contributed greatly to the team. Of course, the key swimmers were from Spartan High. Some of the outstanding members were: Jud Woolard, Greg Martin, Brian Kienlcn. Martin Otto, Jay Klinck. Brian West, Ed McCall, Kelley Krokos, and Lori Smith. Coach Vasbinder was pleased with both the boys’ and girls’ teams and he said that the girls' losing record did not reflect the quality of the girls’ team. Vasbinder had few doubts that the girls’ team would win the State Championship in May and he expected the boys’ team to continue their rampage on S.C. high school teams. Vasbinder is confident that the team will be even better next year, and he added that the new swim center was a contributing factor to the team's success this year.

Spartan High is a prime example of this belief. SHS has almost as many clubs to choose from as it does courses. The clubs are aimed toward involving the entire student body in some sort of activity or interest. Whether a student wanted to serve the community, learn a foreign language, or help the school in other ways, Spartan High had a club suited for them. With over 35 clubs to choose from, a student was sure to find something of interest to him. This has been the purpose of the clubs ever since their beginning.

The Student Advisory Council is a collective group consisting of student body officers, class officers, and class representatives. Established for the purpose of making recommendations to the administration concerning student problems and issues. Student Council also takes charge of such activities as student orientation. Homecoming activities, bonfires, and the Junior-Senior Prom. Some of the newer approaches Council has had toward dealing with student body problems include suggestion boxes and home room visitations. Along with the traditional projects, new ones were planned, among them being a classic film series, a blood drive, and a student-faculty softball game. This year the Student Advisory Council has been dedicated to the improvement of communication between students and administration. Unlike previous years, the response of students toward Council sponsored activities and projects has been tremendous. Student Council: First row: Doris Gaffney, Michelle Cole. Tara Morrow.

After being elected by their homeroom, they participated in an installation in front of the student body. Then they were ready to get started with their duties. A majority of the presidents assisted their homeroom teachers by reading the daily bulletin to let people know of upcoming activities. The first big job was decorating the door in keeping with the homecoming theme. They stayed after school and used their creativity for the competition. At Thanksgiving each homeroom was given a family to feed. They collected canned goods and money to buy a turkey. Also Christmas was a time for giving, especially to children of less fortunate families. Each homeroom tried to make Christmas a special time for one child by collecting money to buy him presents. Besides this, the homeroom presidents attended meetings, during their homeroom periods, with student council members and Mr. John Wolfe. Spreading the Christmas Spirit, Homeroom President.

Blocks S Promoting Spirit SOSH-Thc Spirit of Spartan High and Block S were the clubs which organized and put to use the school spirit of SHS students. SOSH boosted the spirit for all sports matches by painting signs. These signs were to inform students of upcoming sports events and to improve attendance at all sports activities. SOSH also sold cowbells for the Dorman game and prepared the introductory banner for the Homecoming Parade. The other side of the spirit was found inside the blue and gold letter jackets of SHS. Block S members busied themselves behind the concession stand at the basketball games. They supplied the crowd with cokes, candy, and popcorn to keep their spirit high throughout the games. The money raised from the concession stand was donated to the athletic department. Basically, the main purpose of Block S was to promote fellowship among the athletes of SHS and to uphold the Spartan High tradition of producing superior athletes. Block S: First Row: Leslie Young.

The staff was open to all members of the student body, and member of the staff elected their own officers. Mr. Frank Austell was the advisor. The editors, Neal Moglin and Leigh Watson, decided which works to include, and edited those submitted with advice from Mr. Austell. The staff tried to get as broad a range of the student body as possible, while selecting only the entries that had real merit. A contest was sponsored during the year for the best works and winners received recognition in the magazine. The best stories are also submitted for publication in college literary magazines. Interests in the theater influenced many students to join the Drama Club. Sponsored by Mrs. Nancy Whitaker, the Drama Club performed Deathtrap and This Property is Condemned. Deathtrap was presented to the public March twenty-seventh through the twenty-ninth. The club members controlled backstage production along with prop construction. The second play. This Property is Condemned, was presented at the Palmetto Drama Festival in Rock Hill. Being a member of the Drama club included hard work and a love for the theater.

There were three student groups at Spartan High to fill that job this year, A.V. workers, I.T.V. workers, and library workers. A.V. and I.T.V. members are responsible for ordering films, issuing equipment, and helping teachers use the equipment properly. The A.V. workers set up all P.A. systems for football games and pep rallies. I.T.V. produced District 7 television shows and instant replay films of games. The library workers are students who gave up their study halls and free time before and after school to serve others. Their duties included taking inventory, checking out books and finding information and magazines for students.

Terry Mullis was awarded Outstanding Candystriper of the Year. Other community involvement was shown by the club's donating time to Meals on Wheels and their support of the Great American Smoke-Out. Another career oriented club is F.H.A., Future Homemakers of America. Their goal was to help youth assume their roles in society through home economic education. Their Christmas project was the delivery of food and money for coal to an elderly couple. In February, they participated in the National Future Homemakers of America Week and ended the week with a skating party.

The club was designed to facilitate students with art projects. There were fifteen active students with Margie Leonard, president; Carol Durham, vice president; and Chandra McClintock serving as secre-tary treasurer. Their afternoon programs consisted of scheduled speakers from the Art Institute of Atlanta, various speakers from colleges, and lettering posters for school activities. The big project for the club was designing and making the props and decorations for the Junior-Senior Prom, which turned out to be a great success. The Art Club was fun and worthwhile for its members. Did you ever dream of skiing down a snowy mountain with a bunch of school pals? Well, the Ski Club turned this dream into a reality. In order to diminish the high costs of snow skiing, the club sold M M candy to raise money. They went on various weekend trips to Sugar and Beech Mountain. With around fifty active members, different groups alternate going on the trips. The trips were designed to provide a recreational sport for the members on a more frequent basis. Both the Ski club and Art club fulfilled their purpose by allowing their members to advance in their interests. Warming themselves by the fire, Yvonne Suter, Cathy Yaden. Ricky Conn, and Mrs. Pam Seifert enjoy themselves at the ski retreat. Trying on a variety of ski jackets, Ricky Conn prepares for his weekend ski trip. Ski club: First Row: Leslie Mabry.

Art Club 151 Work Experience The Wheelers or Bus Drivers of Spartan High performed a great service for district schools. It is a service which was seldomly recognized. Our Wheelers continued to serve in rain or snow as well as extremely hot or cold temperatures. and early hours of the morning. They put up with smart remarks, fights, paper wads, and bubble gum. Yet through thick and thin the satisfaction was at its greatest when the school children realized the Wheeler is their friend. As well as doing a great service to the schools, the Wheelers received experience which benefits future jobs. The Distributive Education Club of America or DECA helped students learn to deal with the consumer in giving goods and services. The club also prepared students for a career in marketing. DECA had twenty-two members, each having a job for which they received school credit. Some jobs for students were at grocery stores, restaurants, tire services, jewelry stores and clothing stores. The classroom work reinforced what was done on the job. Part of their training took place in the classroom, where they are helped with problems which arose at work. The members of DECA received two grades. One grade was based on their study of the marketing business in class, and the other on their work experience. Thus DECA helped the individual while helping the marketing business as a whole. DECA: Front row Thomas McNamara. Stephanie Sibcrt. Faye Ferguson. Mark Bryant. Dale Vicars.

Although SHS is one of the largest schools in the state, the atmosphere which surrounds it makes it seem much smaller than it really is. Many advantages are possible with a large school. A variety of clubs are available for membership which are suited to many different interests and personalities. Sports also provides an opportunity for students to express their talents as do many other programs at Spartan High. Therefore, the high quality of students proves that it is possible to have a friendly, involved, and large high school. ri ii During the annual Delta Pi egg drop contest.

Some of them have been nominated all three years of their stay at Spartanburg High School and it was the very fist time for others. Being nominated as a class beauty has traditionally been an honor at Spartanburg High, and those who have received it at one time or another are highly thought of and admired by their classmates.

It offered many high schools the chance to get together to compare and express their views. As for the science team, next year they hope to make it three in a row.

While some of us spend our Saturday afternoons going shopping or watching football games, Jan Phillips and Catherine Metz retreat to the near-by rivers to enjoy the white-water canoeing. White-water canoeing got its name from the white water that is created by churning, foaming water of rapid flowing rivers. Jan and Catherine first became interested in canoeing when they went rafting with the Girl Rangers down the Chattugga. They have canoed down the Green, Broad, Nantahala, and Chattugga Rivers with other white-water enthusiasts, at least one of whom is an experienced canoeist. The rivers are classified into three stages of difficulty. Jan and Catherine usually canoe in rapids of Class III and IV, for which maneuvering skills are necessary. Life jackets, shoes, and an extra paddle are required saftey equipment. Jan and Catherine look upon white-water canoeing as a challenge and as a means of acquiring a sense of accomplishment remaining in their canoes through out the rapids! As loyal white-water canoeists, they uphold the river tradition: if you don’t swim on the rapids, you get thrown in at the end of the run. Taking a break from I he rapids.

Dr a mu Club 3 A Special Calling Many high school students have jobs leading to a good future career. One often finds young people working toward computer programming, technical skills, denistry and other careers that capture students' attention. One career that many high school students aren’t flocking to is ministry. Many young people feel that the ministry is only for older people. Kenneth Armstrong, a senior, proved this to be untrue. He recently received a Master’s Degree in Religion. Although he is not a minister in full, he holds service at least once a month at the Corner Stone Baptist Church. “I was baptized at fourteen, and by the time I reached fifteen, I was called to ministry,” stated Kenneth. Kenneth's mother is a librarian at Spartanburg High. He states that his mother, along with the rest of his family, were great parts of his inspiration to preach. When approached Mrs. Armstrong commented, “I’m very proud of Kenny; when he was baptized my first words were: He's a man now!’ ' Kenneth hopes to continue his education in a college affiliated with religion. He says if all his plans and goals are achieved, it will be a short period of time before he has his Bachelor's Degree. His long range goal would be to have a church of his own. “I feel with faith and determination I can achieve this.” A very unique teenager, Ken Armstrong devotes much of his time to the ministry.

He figured out how to make an elephant disappear by watching Doug Henning on television. It wasn't until later that Greg realized this guess was correct. Greg does most of his magical performances for business promotions and church organizations. Last year he performed at Westgate Mall for a three day engagement. Because Greg likes the reactions of small children towards magic, he enjoys performing for children’s birthday parties. If Greg charges a fee, it's based on travel and the length of his magic show. During the show, Greg does mostly close-up magic by himself. Greg hopes someday to own his own magic shop. He also stated he would be interested in teaching magic to children. Greg says, “I’m not a professional yet. But watch! After figuring out how to make an elephant disappear, Greg Whisnant decided to become a magician. 172 Seniors DOS A!I) JOHSSOS pm an IA IHN JOHNSON ROMS I Johnson C jntccn Worker I. 4.

Lucia Davis. Duncan Alford Back Susan Spicth. Michael Stortz, Leigh Watson. Dimitri Dcmopoulos. Martin Otto. Every summer, high school students from all over South Carolina spend six weeks in Charleston attending the Governor’s School. School during the summer does not sound appealing to most students, but the few lucky ones who are chosen to attend the Governor’s School enjoy every minute of it. This past summer nine students from Spartanburg High were selected to attend. Even though each scholar chooses one subject concentration, the six weeks are not spent doing solely academic work. Among the classes attended are a “values” class and a career development class. All of the classes are taught in a college atmosphere, and they are designed to prepare the student for the future, whether it be in a subject of their particular interest or in a “values” seminar. After classes are over in the morning, the rest of the day is spent as the student wishes. Sports clinics, art classes, beach outings, and dances are just a few of the choices for the scholars in their free time. As the six weeks come to a close and it is time for everyone to return to their hometown, there are mixed emotions of sadness and joy. It is the sadness of leaving the new friends one has grown so close to, and the joy of having a taste of college life, and feeling better prepared for the future.

If you’re like most youth, you think of the Red Cross rushing into the stricken area to aid survivors. But this isn't all the Red Cross does for people: they have many daily tasks performed by trained officials and local volunteers like Kathleen McGee. She was promoted to youth representative of the Red Cross Board of Directors. Her job is to promote community youth involvement in the Red Cross. She started as a volunteer member through Z Club, a SHS service club. Her interest grew and Ron Ward, a member of the Red Cross staff, asked Kathleen if she would go to Christmont Camp for a week. This was summer training program for volunteers. She agreed and took leadership training, initiation of programs such as bloodmobiles, and courses to increase youth involvement. The Red Cross’s goal this year is to increase SHS and other local high schools' participation in activities. They hope to create a large youth volunteer program to continue through the years. Kathleen explained. “We’re just beginning, but hopefully we can start a solid youth program for later years!” Sitting at her desk.

Homecoming Candidate 4 186 Scniors To The Rescue! Have you ever wondered who those brave and dedicated people are who fight fires and answer rescue calls? One such person is David Boukedes. He is a volunteer fireman for the Hilltop Fire Department. David first became interested when friends of his joined the program but has continued because he enjoys helping people in need. Since joining the group two years ago, David has participated in a two month training program that gave him needed knowledge in fire fighting techniques. Here he learned how to fight different kinds of fires as safely and efficiently as possible. These and additional hours of training have qualified him to be a member of the Fireman’s Association. Fire fighting is not David's only service to his community. As a member of the department’s rescue team, he has been trained to drive the rescue vehicle. The Red Cross has certified him in CPR and first aid. A goal David hopes to realize in the near future is to become certified as an EMT or Emergency Medical Technician. Volunteer firemen such as David are notified of an emergency over scanners and by the Civil Defense alert siren. A call may come any time of the day or night, and available firemen rush to the station. The call could mean a fire, automobile accident, shooting, heart attack, or other emergency. Volunteers are often needed five or six times a day; it's nice to know that David Boukedes and others are ready to help. Ready to help any minute. Fireman David Boukedes devotes spare time to the Hilltop Fire Dept. Jl kllTHL V STROBl I Hand 2.

For approximately eight years, auto mechanics has held the interest of Al-fonzo Allen, a senior at SHS. His interest developed while tampering with simple machinery such as mini bikes and lawnmowers. At an early age, he began working at his father’s auto mechanic garage where he was influenced by his father and brothers. At first he only performed tasks such as sweeping and cleaning. Then, while gradually learning to work on cars, he developed an overall mechanical ability. He has used this ability to modify his junior and senior class float, both of which have won in the homecoming competition. From a counselor, he learned that he could pursue his interest through a summer program offered at Clemson University for minorities in engineering. He applied, was accepted, and has attended this program for the last two summers. Because of interest, experience, and ability in mechanics, he plans to attend Clemson, majoring in mechanical engineering. His unique ability and years of experience have made him an outstanding student at SHS. An experienced mechanic. Alfonzo Allen plans to major in mechanical engineering at Clemson.

This past August, Trey spent the entire month in Washington, D.C. working as an office page for S.C. Senator, Strom Thurmond. Trey was one of five lucky South Carolinians chosen for this position. The duties of an office page include sorting mail, getting breakfast for the senators, hand-delivering letters, and many more general office tasks. Among the fringe benefits of being a page are earning good pay, working on a one-to-one basis with U.S. senators, sitting in on Congressional sessions, and being on your own for a month. Trey liked everything about serving as a page, but he especially enjoyed sitting in on the Billy Carter hearings that went on during his stay in Washington. As far as his future in politics. Trey plans to continue campaigning for Strom Thurmond along with Carroll Campbell and Ronald Reagan, and he also plans to serve as an intern for Campbell when he is a freshman in college. As for becoming a politician himself, Trey feels that he is “too conservative to be elected.” Representing South Carolina. Trey Gowdy and Senator Strom Thurmond work together on Capitol Hill. Brock.

If these terms are unfamiliar, you probably aren’t a BMX (bicycle motor cross) competitor. And who should think that a girl would be interested in this rough, exciting, and sometimes dangerous sport? Well, Libba West is a true example. Libba, a junior, first got interested in BMX when she saw her boyfriend, who races, doing tricks on his bike. He familiarized Libba with the basic stunts and equipment used in BMX, and also took her to a BMX race competition in Shelby, N.C. And as the saying goes, “she tried it and she liked it.” In a very short time, Libba enthusiastically learned skills and tricks on how to maneuver a bike to perform the best. Libba’s parents bought her a Redliner bike, one of the best for BMX. The BMX bikes resemble a motorcycle in its Sitting on her BMX, Libba West takes a break. overall structure. Libba also had to meet requirements of a BMX race competitor; wear a protection helment, elbow pads, knee pads, and tennis shoes. Libba’s first race was in Rock Hill this past summer. Out of fifty competitors in the Novice Division (beginners), there were only three girls, including Libba. The race consisted of a dirt trail containing ant hills, burms (enbanked curves), and whoopdedoos (1 ft. high hills). The racers were tested on skill to overcome their obstacles and their timing. Libba came home with one first place ribbon and two second place ribbons. Because the racing season is from spring to the end of summer, Libba has lots of time to practice and brush up on her talent. When asked what she gets out of this unusual sport, Libba replies, “I love winning and BMX is an exhilarating sport; and because not many girls do this type of sport, it makes it unique.” Juniors 197 Green.

She showed interest in the volunteer work when one of her friends started to work at Cedar Springs for the Z Club. April gives these children two hours a week of her time and love. She tries to work individually with each of the girls, whose ages range from 11-20. April not only works with the deaf and blind girls, but also multi-handicapped and some mentally retarded girls. On each Monday, April talks, plays, and watches T.V. with the girls. Then she helps them get ready for supper and she also helps feed the girls their meals. After supper, they usually listen to records. When new girls are added to the dormitory, April must explain to them that she has a handicap as she is not an expert in sign language yet. April says, “The girls make me appreciate how lucky I am to have a normal life. The children have taught me that you can be happy even with a handi-cap.“ She also stresses that the school still takes in volunteers and she believes it would be worth anyone’s time to spend a few hours a week with the children. April feels she will pursue a career in this field after college. She is definitely a remarkable and understanding person. Enjoying each other's company.

In preparation for this event, foreign language students had to memorize two poems in either German, French, or Spanish. Many hours were spent after school reciting their poems and learning how to project their voices. The students, along with Mrs. Billie Edmonds, Mrs. Betty Carver, Mrs. Robin Johnson and Mr. Richard Fowler arrived at Clemons at 9:00 a m. Then came the long wait before each person had to recite his or her poem in front of four judges. Later everyone participating in the contest gathered in the auditorium to sing songs in French, German, Spanish, and Latin. The suspense mounted as the winners were announced and Spartanburg High was recognized as the school with the most teachers participating. The students also were a credit to Spartanburg High by winning honors in the French, Spanish, and German divisions. Excelling in their respective languages arc Melanie Messer.

The tide in American music is definitely changing and the wave which has hit the West Coast, as well as SHS, is New Wave. The electronic, punkish beats which characterize New Wave have swept the nation and aside from being a definite trademark of the 1980’s, it boasts many new American music groups including Blondie, The Cars, Talking Heads. The B-52’s, Elvis Costello. and the ever-popular Dcvo! The New Wave music has been compared to punk rock but the two are very different styles of music. As David McDuffie, an ardent New Waver, states, “Punk and New Wave started at the same time (1976), yet Punk rock has had its heydey and really died around 1978. The main difference is that Punk rock began as a protest against “bad pop music, and lyrics of Punk rock are often serious, while New Wave songs concern many different to- pics and use energetic and sixty-ish rhythms. Punk dealt with alienation and commercialism, and what Elvis Costello calls, “emotional fascism. So while the tide is high for New Wave, many SHS students foresee an even brighter future for it. Thanks to this new music, different dance techniques such as the Pogo are making dancing and music listening much more adventurous.

This type of dance is a form of exercising which aims to improve the cardiovascular system. The eight week sessions emphasized dance routines combined with jazz exercise. This course had been offered before, but was never too popular among the young girls. However, its popularity grew to approximately one-hundred women and teen-agers each session. Many of the girls at SHS participated in this class. Avis Weathers felt, “The class was a fun way of getting in shape and losing weight. Beth Walpole said, “I tried not to miss any of the classes because I felt they were worthwhile. Other students, Teresa Martin, Cindy Powell, and Juile Anderson, assisted the classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights from 7:00-8:00. Exercising is done to beach music and hit songs. What a great way of exercising! Warming up with some music, these SHS students participate in the aerobic dance class. Patterson, Dottic Pearson. Eddie Pinson. Ginger Porter. Missy Potcat.

This year’s number one box office attraction was John Travolta in “The Urban Cowboy”. It has had national and local effects on disco and rock-n-roll lovers. Once popular discoteques and many local night spots have turned western. As well as affecting the night life, movie goers are buying cowboy hats, boots, and western clothes. The music taste has also changed to the tunes of Willie Nelson, Charlie Daniels, Kenny Rogers, and Linda Ronstandt. Adorned with western attire. SHS students show their enthusiasm for the “cowboy look. 218 Sophmorc Stewart, Lee Stokes. Ron Stortz, Amy Striglc. Joyce Sturgill. Chris Sturgill. Jeff Sutton. Todd Talley. James Tate. David Taylor.

He flew to Belgium and while there traveled ten days along the English Channel and finally to the Paris suburbs. They also visited such famous cities as Versailles, Chartres, and Amines. Mr. Pell and his family lived in a French teacher's apartment while the French teacher spent the month in their home in America. While in France, Mr. Pell noticed differences and similarities between the two countries. The inflation in France La Vie En Paris was just as bad as it is here in the U.S. For example, three lamb chops cost $6.00. Mr. Pell also thought the prices of clothes were extremely high. There was less emphasis on packaged food in France; everything was fresh, and they often had open markets. This was Mr. Pell's sixth trip to France, and he thought it was a terrific experience. The Pells were able to get a taste of the French culture. While taking a break from English. Mr Bill Pell reflects on his trip to France. 224 Faculty Ms. Trannic Mosley; B.A.. M A T.

Mrs. Elaine Marks, a history teacher, served as president of SCEA for 1979-1980. The SCEA is a part of the National Teachers Organization. One hundred out of the twenty thousand teachers in SCEA are on the staff at Spartan High.

She spoke with other teachers and legislators, and worked with interested groups to advance the cause of public education. Also, the Congress passed the creation of the new department of education for which the SCEA lobbied twenty years. This gave the cabinet status to public education. Thus Mrs. Marks was honored in being president of SCEA this past year which was quite an experience. Expressing feelings lo her siudcnts.

Faculty 227 Students Build Dream House Assistant Director Jerry Steadman cleans counter tops in preparation for the Aug. 30 and 31 Open House. Daniel Morgan students did all the cabinet work. This is the house that students from Daniel Morgan Vocational Center built. Construction began in fall of 1978. The Daniel Morgan Vocational Center may be holding the keys to someone's dream house. The house is on Phillips Road in the Eastway Park subdivision east of Spartanburg off U.S. 29. It was built almost entirely by students at the vocational center. “This house is solid. We used good, quality materials. We didn’t cut corners, says center administrative assistant Lonnie Holman. The house has a living room, kitchen-breakfast room combination, family room with a fireplace, three bedrooms, two baths, a laundry room, utility room, double carport, and a sundeck. Jerry Steadman, assistant center director, says one of the best features of this house is the amount of storage space. Steadman says this is an energy-efficient house. It comes complete with required insulation, storm windows, and doors. This house was built almost entirely with student labor. Specialists were brought in to do the painting, finish the walls, pour concrete in the carport, and blow the ceilings. Drafting students designed the house to match surrounding houses. Other students worked on the house according to their field of study. “Students gained experience by building this house. Their work was checked by instructors, Steadman says. Work on the house began in late October of 1978. It Was completed, except for some carpentry work, by students last year. The only thing that remains is to have the carpeting installed, finish the driveway, and plant the yard. There are eight other lots on the school property on which students can build additional houses. The school plans to construct other houses as learning experiences for its students. Mr Perry H.

Once again this year, the community became involved in Spartanburg High School. Even with the high inflation, most community advertisers continued to give support. Many of the school related clubs also continued to buy ads and many took humorous pictures which appeared on their ads. The businesses which purchased ads felt that it was a good investment since Spartan High is such a large school. Many of the students shop at the stores that bought ads thus making the ads worthwhile. Many of the businesses bought ads because a large part of Spartanburg’s population see the a yearbook and they felt that they can generate a good deal of business through yearbooks.

Fifty-two of these Americans were held for fourteen months. They were finally released on January 21, 1981, the same day that President-Elect Ronald Reagan took over the duties of the Presidency. While in captivity, the hostages were subjected to mock executions, isolation cells, and late-night interrogations. Some captives spent their days in captivity in luxurious hotels while others were put into the basement of the Embassy. As one hostage said, “April was a time of hope.” The militants were beginning to be nice to the Americans. Then their hopes were once again dashed when they learned of the failed U.S. rescue mission on April 25, 1980. The Americans spent their final days as hostages in a luxury hotel before boarding an Algerian plane and flying to Wiesbaden, West Germany. When the hostages finally arrived on American soil, they received a warm welcome from the entire country with parades, yellow ribbons, and American flags. January 21, 1981, will probably remain a great day in history for it was a day of excitement. As the hostages were boarding a plane to leave Iran. Former President Carter was also leaving office as President Reagan was being sworn in. Unidentified hostages at the American embassy in Teheran. Iran, read some of the thousands of pieces of mail sent them during Christmas. Iranian demonstrators, standing on the wall of the U.S. Embassy in Teheran, burn an American flag shortly after the takeover of the embassy on Nov. 4, 1979. 262 Hostages Soon after the takeover of the American Embassy in Iran, SHS students showed their support for the hostages by signing their names to a giant poster and by wearing armbands Another flag is raised last February at the cemctary in Hermitage.
