May I help you?'' “Hello. Yes. this is a high school in Maine requesting some information on Spartanburg High, concerning why it was named one of the eighty-eight model high schools by the US Department of Educa tion. “The main reasons why SHS received this honor were the excellent program of student activities, strong faculty, overall student commitment to learning and support by the community.” Could you describe to me the aspects of your student activity program which make it outstanding? To begin with, the student activity program involves 1250 students and 35 faculty sponsors in 33 clubs and 21 interscholastic sports. The teams win approximately 75% of all of their competitions and consistantly place in the district or state. The organizations represent a variety of interests including art, music, foreign languages. science, social interests, work-study. bus drivers, home economics, and school and community service. Each club and sport expects time, hard work, and determination from the participants, and usually gets it. Now, what about the faculty? How are your teachers unique? SHS employs 140 teachers and guidance counselors. Because of these people's dedication to teaching, 17 seniors were named National Merit Semi-Finalists. Mr. William Pell traveled upon invitation to Princeton. N.J. to grade the A.P. English exams. Mr. Troy Bridges was the South Carolina nomination for the 1983 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Math Teaching. These juniors are careful to heed every word of their history teacher Mrs. Fran Racine. AP History students know these lectures contain pertinent information. While the band patiently waits to play the National Anthem, the colorguards march to their starting positions. Color guards must concentrate in order to synchronize their movements Opening 3 With excellence in education “What about the overall student commitment to learning?” After the representative from the CJS Department of Education observed SHS for a day, he reported these findings: The students appear happy with what is going on here and know the punishment for misbehaving. They live as good citizens in a small community.” Could you describe the school’s relationship with the community?” From October 4 through 6. nearly 600 visitors from the community were invited to attend a special Visitor's Lunch in the school cafeteria and to tour the campus. Four service clubs received community sponsorship. The Health Careers Club helped at the city hospital. Each homeroom sponsored a family at Thanksgiving and a Department of Social Services child at Christmas. A math teacher. Mr. James Talley, serves on the Spartanburg City Council. Would you also describe the process you went through to be named a model high school? In April. Governor Richard Riley nominated SHS and three other South Carolina high schools to receive the award. Next, the administration, guidance department. SAC. and faculty filled out the application. A representative from the department then visited the school and spoke with students and teachers. He also looked at PSAT, SAT. AP, ACH. and other test scores along with school records. The Under Secretary of the Department of Education called to notify us of our inclusion in the list of model high schools. Senator Strom Thurmond and Congressman Carroll Campbell also called to offer their congratulations. Thank you for all of your help. You definitely earned this honor and deserve to be in the limelight.” A few minutes later. Hello. Spartanburg High School. May I help you?” Hello . Yes. This is a high school in Alaska ... Guidance services include everything from testing information to college requirements to personal problems. Mr. John Wolfe explains the SAT to Evelyn Fernandez Art students and faculty have been recognized statewide for their talents. Mr. MacArthur Goodwin helps Tommy Faught with the printmaking process. Even in Shakespeare's time, theater lighting was inadequate and therefore a major staging problem In 1816. Thomas Drummond invented a new kind of light It consisted of a cylinder of lime that was heated to incandescence by a flame This limelight was intensely bright when placed behind a lens or in front of a reflector It was perfect for emphasizing a star or part of the action on stage Public attention was centered on the actor or action “in the limelight. By I860, the term in the limelight was used to designate anyone in a conspicuous position. 4 Opening New Apple computers were demon strated to the English department at a workshop before school began. Apple representative Mrs. Gloria Mewshaw helps Mrs. Becky Dickerson and Mrs. Cynthia Godfrey with their program. New computer rooms were added in D-wing. Mr. John Davis answers Kelly Harmon's questions on the day's as signment. Part of SHS's success comes from good faculty student rapport. During orientation, the cross country team helped Coach Jim Kilbreth celebrate a birthday. English as a Second Language was added to help Laotian students adjust to their new surroundings. Mrs. Susan Bennett instructs the Laotian students Serving the school is a goal of all ser vice clubs.

Mr. Tom Wine directs the chorus as they line up to perform the Alma Mater at the Spirit Assembly. §11 JDFNI IMF Exciting, stimulating, busy, and challenging are just a few of the many adjectives that describe the life of an SHS student. From the orchestra’s tour and cross country’s summer practice, students’ interests changed to the Summerville football game, pep rallies, club meetings, the Spirit assembly, Homecoming, and, for seniors, graduation. As schools from across the nation turned to SHS for guidance in improving themselves; the students, through their lives, kept us in the limelight. Students gather in the gym for an assembly Some of the traditional assemblies were dropped The Spirit Assembly replaced the SAC Installa lion; a Spring Assembly replaced the Thanksgiv ing assembly.

The orchestra performed five concerts on their British Isles tour. Sightseeing and fun were a memorable part of the orchestra tour.

The kids real |y made me feel like a father to them all. What would make a normally sane music teacher feel like a father to 65 students? The orchestra’s British Isles tour, of course. To prepare for their 5 concerts. practice was held before and after school for a month. There were even practices Friday nights and Saturdays. Sixty-five students and nine chaperones boarded a plane in Atlanta on Saturday, June 4, the day after school was out for a 7 P.M. flight to Amsterdam. Holland. A few had never flown before and were scared, but they soon relaxed and enjoyed it. They did experience the usu al closing and popping of ears and stomachs being left on the ground. Did everyone like the trip? Yes! It was enjoyable, educational. and beautiful. Grant Tate said, It was different than anything I had ever done. When asked what was most in- teresting, several said they were awed at the ages of some of the sights. They visited 1000 and 2000 year-old cathedrals. Zella Myers was most interested in the walking and bus tours of London. Others liked seeing the different people and hearing the different accents. Some students expected the stereotyped Britisher — snobbish, stuffy, aristocratic. But the people were not like that at all; and yes, they say Cherio!” Language wasn't a problem once the travelers learned that French fries were “chips, cookies were biscuits, and a snack and cake was dinner.” Food was definitely the biggest expense and the most expensive. Clothing was more reasonably priced by American standards. As might be expected, prices outside London were cheaper. What would they take next time? Patrice Linder would carry ice trays and the recipe for ice ; Mr. Bill Scott, my wife ; and the majority, more money.” Fascinated by the ruins at Fountain s Entertaining the British, the orchestra Abbey, these musicians try wall walk plays My Fair Lady” at the London ing When not practicing or performing. Guildhall Yard. The Mayor of London students saw as many sights as they sponsored the concert could. One of the most festive and magnifi cent sights in London was Queen's band at the changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace. Orchestra students look like typical tourists at Stratford-upon-Avon, where they visited Shakespeare's birthplace and the Shakespeare Museum. Orchestra Tour 9 In August intimidated sophomores, cocky juniors and self-assured seniors gather for The SHS orientation daze With the beginning of a new year, new challenges face us . . . challenges which will again complete the cycle of growth and maturity of the students of our school. The cycle begins with Senior pictures. Each sen ior finally comes to realize that this secured their places as the top class. With the senior's seniority came the sophomores' anticipation of a new beginning through a variety of activities and new acquaintences. Their first glimpse of school occurred a week before the opening. The halls were packed with sophomores under the guidance of senior peer counselors. These counselors helped to calm the sophomores' fears. With this, the sophomores assumed the role as the class of 1986. Even before these events went on, student council, band and athletics geared up for another successful year. SAC spent more than 350 work hours over the summer helping get ready for school and orga nized many activities to help school start smoothly. One new innovation out of council was the Sophomore Class Mixer, which they planned and executed to the satisfaction of faculty as well as the class. The band and athletic program started practice early in hopes of again achieving statewide recognition as a su perior force to be reckoned with. Hand and hand with tradi tional activities came new changes that greatly affected all. One such change was the development of a more informative newspaper. The Norse News. An important aspect of this paper was the great involvement by the staff, under the leadership of Troy Cribb, in covering school-wide events. Another change was handed down by the school administra tion in hopes of strengthening attendance. The new policy outlined the use of professional excuses (doctor's, lawyer's) ex plaining the purpose of a student's absence. The response of many students was unfavorable and one of objection. How ever, it was soon accepted and seen as worthwhile. The cycle started with these points. It continued in the wake of being named one of the best high schools in the nation. Therefore, all students felt that VIKING PRIDE for being one of the few IN THE LIMELIGHT. Upon arrival in homeroom on the first day of school, each student receives a packet of information. SAC members Tracy Wilson. Katherine Lay, Kather ine Finney. Georgia Cochran, and Amy Schrieffer assemble and count letters from principal Joe Delaney.

Excitement over the first game and a shortened 4th give students Pep rally spirit Blue! Gold! Blue! Gold! This familiar chant of Spartan High School's colors was heard at the pep rallies on the Fridays before a fooiball game. Seniors. Juniors, and Sophomores competed for the rowdiest class to get the pep flowing. Then the screaming of cheers and clapping of hands echoed through the gym and down the halls. Students crowded into the gym during 4th period to get a little bit rowdy and root on our team. With hopes of winning, During class competition at the first pep rally, seniors attempt to keep up the winning tradition by giving the lou dest cheer. the cheerleaders lead the students in cheers of Viking Spirit and Viking Power” while the band played their tunes. Some pep rallies were extra special, like Homecoming when there was a costume judging for best costume. After singing the Alma Mater and cheering on the team, the pep rallies came to a close. The students left with pep in their step to return to the daily routine and back to the books. Adding his musical talents to the playing of the Alma Mater. Tyrone Toland plays the tuba.

Losing the ’82 State Championship made the ’83 season opener a big Summerville rematch The match with last season s state finalists followed an all too familiar pattern. Spartanburg entertained the Green Wave on Friday. September 2, 1983. in a rematch of last year s Division I 4A state finals. Summerville defeated the Vikings 12-0 in the season opener last year and capped the campaign with a 23-13 victory over the Vikings in Columbia. This year Summerville repeated its performance with a 13-10 victory over the Vikings at Snyder Field. Most players felt it was a big rematch and were disappointed at the outcome, though not much different than expected. Spartanburg's head coach Fred Kyzer summed it up when he said the outcome was a “tre mendous disappointment. Said Kyzer. “What is so disap- Doing what they do best, the varsity cheerleaders lead the crowd and band in support of the Vikings Both the of fense and defense provided plays to cheer about pointing about this is that our guys honestly feel we were the better team. But Summerville has outstanding speed and you can't make mistakes against teams with the kind of speed Summerville has. I thought our kids played well, except for a few mistakes. It was a tough opener, and one that was good for both teams. Playing a team like Summerville will show us a lot of our weaknessess. A positive aspect of the game was Brian Boozer's excel lent performance. He rushed for 108 yards on 25 carries. An other positive aspect was the comment by Summerville head coach John McKissick who said. I'm thankful we won. There's no doubt in my mind that Spartanburg has one of the best teams in the state again.

Viking spirit Did the assembly work for you? Were you full of school spirit and school pride? One student said, Cheering for the school makes you feel good. That’s why I liked the assembly so much. Many students felt the same way, claiming to have enjoyed the new idea of a Spirit Assembly. To open, our student body president. Carter Willard, stated that this new kind of assembly was to install school spirit and school pride and to make the students aware of school events. At the assembly, Mr. Joseph Delaney described the facts associated with the Model School Presentation. He said Spartanburg High School was chosen because of its outstanding faculty and student programs such as athletics, activities, and academics. I think that it is absolutely fantastic. said one senior when asked about the presentation. I think an average size high school like Spartan High is doing pretty well to be recognized in this manner, stated another student. Some students said they were jamming to the music of the band at the assembly. These students also enjoyed the chorus's and orchestra's presentations. Most felt the assembly was very well organized and very enjoyable. With the cheerleaders, the chorus, the symphony orchestra, the band, and the color-guard, this assembly was an ex- ceptional one. One student claimed, It was one of the best assemblies all year. It made you feel good about your school. To end the assembly with a bang, SAC put on a skit describing the theme for our homecoming: Haunted Home-coming ’83. This new idea of a spirit assembly turned out well and was enthusiastically received by the student body.

Halftime activities included the announcement of class and club float victors and the Homecoming Queen. Juniors shouted when their float won, leaving seniors in second place and the sophomores in third.

The Christmas spirit was turned on full blast at the annual Christmas assembly before the holidays. Each homeroom president brought gifts down to put around the tree to brighten up many children’s Christmases, and the chorus entertained us with cheery Christmas tunes. Many students felt this was the best assembly they had ever seen. Daniel Goodwin said, “That’s the best from SHS!” The drama department did a fantastic job with their Christmas skit, and the advanced chorus performed a great “Twas the Night Before Christmas. Throwing candy to the students was met with enthusiastic grabs. One student said, I wasn’t sure whether to hold up my hands to grab for the candy or hold them up to protect myself. Laura Koon said through all the jumping, she finally caught a piece. As the assembly was coming to a close, Mr. Joe Delany put in an exciting twist. He read the students a Christmas story never to be beat. The students and faculty laughed at the antics of the faculty that Mr. Delaney described in his version of “The Night Before Christmas. This Christmas assembly was a great way to get the Christmas spirit and to start the holidays off with a bang.

Students, ’’ commanded Joe Delaney, “Stand and recognize The future rests in the youth of America. There are none more important than those who can set standards of excellence as they have been demonstrated at Spartanburg High School. You are now a model for the rest of the country and must live up to this responsibility.” So saying, Congressman Carroll Campbell praised faculty and students for past accomplishments and charged them to continue to set high goals. Oh January 12, dignitaries on the national, state, and local level were on hand to witness the presentation of the (J.S. De partment of Education's Excellence in Education Award.

McCracken, parents, and interested community members joined the students and faculty in Red Dobson gym. Dr. Youstra pointed to the four criteria for model school selection — high academic standards, strong community support and involvement, evidence of great value on raising standards and creating a climate to reach them, excellence against all sorts of odds and obstacles. Dr. Charlie G. Williams, State Superintendent of Education recalled a time when the upstate had to fight for educating its youth. (J.S. Senator Strom Thurmond said, S.H.S. has always been a model of academic and athletic excellence in South Carolina. Now you will be a model throughout the nation.” As a follow up. Mr. Clary Smith, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, remarked, We’ve always known S.H.S. provided excellent education. It just took others a little longer to come to this knowledge.” It was a day for awards. plaques, resolutions, and praise. Principal Joe Delaney accepted a copy of a city council resolution proclaiming Excellence in Education Day in Spartanburg from Mayor Lewis Miller. County Council Char man Lachlan Hyatt told the crowd, “This award did not happen by accident, but through effort, time, support and demanding the best.” He presented a resolution recognizing these efforts. District 7 Superintendent Dr. Harold Patterson included in his praise the feeder schools, both elementary and junior high that laid the ground work for things students and faculty are able to accomplish at the high school. Offering their congratulations to principal Joe Delaney and student body president Carter Willard are Senator Strom Thurmond, Congressman Car- roll Campbell, and II.S.

Susan Brown is fashionable in her blue jean jacket. 28 Fashion The preppy and punk, the classy and casual are All the looks of today Why do some people subscribe to G.Q. or Vogue or spend hours looking for just the right shoes? It might be because the styles you wear make a statement about your personality. Styles also give some clue as to who you associate with. The girls who dared to be a little different were found in miniskirts as well as leather pants. However, the traditional ■ preppy look was also in. Izod, Polo, Kiltskirts, and argyle sweaters were seen often. Many girls wore monogramed sweat shirts when they wanted a more casual look. Levi, Ralph Lauren, Lee, and Calvin Klein were competing to sell blue jean pants. A hot item for both girls and guys was the bluejean jacket. Like blue-jeans, they came in assorted styles. Many of the girls liked the puffy sleeves and elastic bottoms to the original style. Another popular jacket for both sexes were the Woolrich coats. They were ideal for the cold weather and came in assorted colors. The guys tended to stick to a more conservative look. Blue-jeans, cords, and buttondowns were the favorites. Many guys got out of tennis shoes. Instead, pairs of boots, loafers, oxfords, and Bean shoes tread the halls. Accessories, of course, helped make many outfits. Many girls used colored or printed hose to make their outfit special. A new fashion fad was the big straw pocketbooks. Many of these had unusual designs and colors. Ten of SHS’s students had to be particulary aware of the look in fashion. Teresa Wood-son, Scottie Allen, Terrence Houston, Darryl Houston, Pa mela Holcombe, Lisa Foster. Karen Young, and Jennifer Young are all members of the Fashion Producers Company. This modeling agency is for young men and women over the age of twelve who plan to pursue a career in the glamorous world of fashion. FPC was formed June 18, 1982 by coordinator and producer Jonathon Fant, who is an SHS graduate and retired professional fashion model. He explains his reasons for organizing FPC, I enjoy working with young people, and I want to give them a head start in the fashion world. Teresa Woodson, the group s most photographic model, feels most of the people in FPC take modeling for granted. However, she takes modeling seriously, and it is the top priority in her life. Fashionable and comfortable. Russ Austin works on his assignment. Students strived to be in style while dressed for a day of sitting for hours. To the delight of many parents, the new trend in fashion seems to be dress-ing more formally. Both girls and guys sported 'dressy clothing. A new fashion among the guys is wearing an earring in the left ear Hats and Members Only jackets continued to be popular with the male contingent of the student body. Fashion 29 It may be by bus, car, or on foot, but students are seen Getting here any way they can Have you ever missed the bus and wondered how in the world you were getting to school? If you drive, maybe your car didn't start, or the person you ride with forgot you. Whatever the situation may have been, we’ve all had problems with transportation but seem to get to school somehow. Ye Ole school bus is the more popular way of getting to school and probably the most dependable. Gil Cox is one of the many students who ride the bus and he expressed his opinion. One advantage of riding the bus is that you don't have to spend any money on gas. But the thing I dislike most is waiting for the bus to arrive. The second most popular type of transportation is driving a car. There are many students who drive, so most of the time the student parking areas are full. Jennifer Holt and Janet Oliver beat the high cost of gas by sharing rides. Janet said she drives one week and Jennifer drives the next week. Those who don't drive or ride with a friend are dropped off by a parent, like Steve Easier. Steve said. I hate to ride the bus because of the crowds, and I don’t like to wait on it. That's why my mother brings me and picks me up. A less popular but still effective type of transportation is motorcycle. David Nienhuis, Tom Connors, and Phil Pruitt all ride motorcycles to school. This is a quick and inexpensive way of getting to school. But sometimes the weather works against them. Those of us who live near enough to the school to walk have no problem with transportation. although it can be hard getting your body cranked on those cold winter mornings. Mike Boone said. The weather is bad sometimes, but I don’t have to walk much further than anyone else. So the next time you can't find a way to school, just call Mike and maybe he’ll give you a ride on his back. Loading up for the afternoon ride home, students wait in line to board the bus The Wheelers provide students with reliable transportation to and from school and extra curricular acitivites. 30 Transportation Waiting for ride home can be pleasant when the weather is sunny On rainy days and during cold wintry days, the wait is often tiresome and boring. Supervising the bus loading area gives Mr. Arthur Brewton and Mr. Robert Sellars some conversation time that helps the half hour pass more quickly To often the wait on the bus is a very long and cold one These students share events of the day to pass time. On their way to the parking lot these students find the opportunity for a short visit before heading for home and homework. Students who depend on school busses for their transportation get lots of practice in developing the virtue of patience. Transportation 31 The free time between classes is spent talking to friends.

Most SHS students don’t have much leisure time during the school week. Their time is consumed in school and part-time jobs. Basically, the weekends are for parties, road trips, games, watching T.V. and just plain kicking back. Spending money is also a part of most students weekends. Most types of entertainment require some amount of money be it large or small sum. The only time students said they had a ‘break from work was with involvement in school clubs. These times gave them a chance to see friends not passed at school everyday and to relax. Most spending that goes on at school is for book fees, library fines and lunches; however, junior Caroline Starnes said that much of her money went towards chese-burgers from Burger King after school. These football fans gave some of their leisure time to serve the school and enjoy themselves at the same time. Ball girls Carrie Knight. Kathy Bolton, and Niki Kyzer sees the game from the sidelines.

ACADEMICS Although the dreaded E Wing to D Wing 6 minute rush sometimes hindered it, the academics continued to be both time consuming and challenging. Wings tended to change as the classes did. A Wing meant science, B Wing history, C Wing foreign, languages and economics, and E Wing math; D Wing could be about anything. The academic preparation sometimes seemed useless, but when job and college acceptances came in, we knew it amounted to something. Being in the limelight helps sometimes, we learned.

They were recognized colleges for their individual achievement. In addition, seniors sought the scholarships given by a host of other institutions. Wofford, Converse, University of Virginia, as well as many other colleges, offered monetary awards based not only on merit but need also. Due to the rise in college tuition, the competition for school nomination for scholarships increased. The Guidance Office announced on its familiar yellow bulletins the scholarships available plus their worth. Seniors were urged to sign up for any award that interested them. The scholarship committee, which is composed of faculty members, decided who the school would nominate. Unfortunately, not all the school’s nominees actually won the scholarships. The applications, interviews, and recommendations required by the scholarship added to the senior’s pile of college applications in need of completion. “I feel that by competing for academic scholarships, we bring pride to the school as well as ourselves. I wish that the colleges would treat us as well as they treat football players though. Larry Slovensky Academic Honors 37 Becoming a senior takes careful schedule planning to get in all requirements.

Everyone's senior year brings privileges, exciting moments, a pride only understood by seniors, and more expenses. SAT’s ACT’s, college transcripts, application fees, caps and gowns, and rings are some of the items that add up. However, with responsibilities of college decisions, keeping a high GPR, testing and the INSUFFERABLE periods of time that seniors spend running to the mailbox to hear of their college acceptances or denials, there are many things to look forward to. Senior bells, a senior trip, priority seating for assemblies, priority in scheduling, and no more exams after first semester. Senior Study Hall is a “great break from the norm. Students must be in a Senior homeroom, maintain a “C” average and display good conduct. One can purchase snacks, listen to the “top 40 or study if needed. The Senior year is a good time to looking forward to receiving awards and scholarships in academics and athletics. It is rewarding to have worked with dedication during twelve years. Strength, knowledge, opportunity, and seniority. These are characterics gained when becoming a senior. The qualities are exemplified in a Senior ring. Being a Senior is the greatest!

High school students in District Three and District Seven may attend. Daniel Morgan offers a varied curriculum with seventeen diverse subjects ranging from food services to Mechanics to construction. Students attended their high school for three periods of the day to participate in academic courses and spend the other three periods at Daniel Morgan learning by on the job training. Once a student graduates, he or she has acquired the necessary skills to go right to work or may continue their education at a tech school or college.

Staff members soon received assignments requiring interviewing and writing to insure that each spread was completed before its deadline. Because Colette Gauthier and Lisa Padgett wrote good copy, they found themselves as Copy Editors, which meant proof reading and correcting all submitted copy. Seniors, juniors, and sophomores worked together to produce a terrific book. They wanted students to feel it worth their $18 to $25 investment. A goal also existed of again receiving the Palmetto Award, an honor given to the best yearbook in each division in South Carolina, which SAGA won in 1983. Editor Cynthia Spieth summed up the year's work. A special group of dedicated and hard working people helped to produce this book. I hope all the students and teachers appreciate and recognize the amount of time and effort spent to make it. “Being a member of the Saga staff is challenging but also rewarding.

She was the accompanist for the chorus during her junior and senior years. Waiting for the assembly to begin, members of the chorus discuss the order they will perform the songs. Each member must have his part just right in order to project the right sound. “It’s Turkey Lurkey Time.” was a favorite song per formed by ‘ The Corporation'' during the Christmas Season. They also performed it at school with a line up of other Christmas Songs. The Chorus practices many long and hard hours during Christmas season, to help make the concert great.

The Chorus performed their annual Christmas and Spring concerts and participated in the Community and Christmas Concert at Memorial Auditorium. They also competed in the North Greenville College Choral competition. The purpose of the Chorus was to provide a variety of musical experiences and social experiences, various opportunities to present those skills developed to the public in the form of concerts. They practiced every Tuesday until 4:15 P.M. Besides the chorus, there was “The Corporation , the ensemble. This group of 25 juniors and seniors traveled around the Spartanburg area to provide entertainment to groups such as Civitans, Sertoma, Kohler Corporation, SHS administration and faculty.

All whom are involved in the day to day life of Spartanburg High School have made it a model high school. No doubt, the Symphony Orchestra. Concert Orchestra, and Chamber Ensemble add a touch of class. Both orchestras put on a fall and spring concert and participated in various Christmas concerts. This year the symphony orchestra had the privilege of being one out of three high school orchestras in the nation to perform for the Mid West National Band and Orchestra clinic in Chicago. This past summer the two orchestras together travelled to England for a 21 day tour. It was as much learning and cultural experience as a musical endeavor. Rob Dillon, senior concert-master of the Concert orchestra said, “The key to hard work and great orchestras is playing with pride. Two fine orchestras completed another year of striving for musical excellence, and the student body was honored with their talents and contributions to the school. “Orchestra takes dedication! It is rewarding and exciting because the talent comes from long hours, many rehearsals and much practice.” Alice Morgan Orchestra 47 The band, cheerleaders.

But it takes more than talent in music and coordination to be a band member. It takes endurance, and spirit; endurance for the six hour practice sessions in the middle of August, and spirit to cheer on the football team to victory. While sitting in sub freezing temperatures, the band has the most spirit of any group. Why, you may ask? Well, according to Sue Tipton, a junior colorguard leader, “It’s the band’s main purpose, during the marching season, to arouse the spirit of the school and ultimately the football team. It’s true, band members can be seen at all the games jumping up and down, yelling, and unfortunately sometimes crying at a loss. They have a real love for the school and team. And well they should, thinks Susan Wall, junior flute player, The reason for our spirit is that we re at all ball games with the team. Band members go to all regular and playoff games. To sum it up, junior drum major Mark Harris proudly says with a smile, We got the beat! Even though there's a lot of work and practice involved, being in the band really makes you feel you're a part of the school and a true Spartanburg Viking.

Greg Norman uses his time while in the Senior Lounge. Use of the Senior Lounge is one of the privileges that all Seniors have. There’s too much of it; it takes up too much time; it ruins the weekend; and yet it’s necessary. These were some of the reactions voiced by students when asked about homework. Homework was a significant part of school life although many students thought some teachers over emphasized and abused it. Said Dana Wheeler. I think that if homework is given as a reinforcement of what is done in class or as an introduction to a topic, it is meaningful to the students. However, I feel that many teachers give homework just for the sake of giving it. Many teachers also give lots and forget students have other classes’ work to do too.’’ Most students spent an average of two to three hours a day doing their homework. Courtney Uhler said, ‘‘Homework may be a necessary part of school, but on weekends I don’t think we need it. I find that I spend at least two hours every day doing homework. If I don’t do it though, I pay the price by failing all those pop quizzes.” In need of advice Jennifer King consults Mr. Mac Goodwin about her art project. Jennifer's art assignment is a portfolio to work on at home and during class. The library is the main source of information for many students. Mrs. Esther Martin checks out books for Ross Vinsant and Anita McAbee to use in their research. Cool Casper Craig Davis finishes his homework in the library with the company of Missy Rowland. Some teachers assigned work even on Homecoming. English, Math, Social Studies, Psychology, Science, Art Although it drew criticism, most students admitted that homework was necessary. When I don’t do my homework, I find myself being lost during the class discussions and not prepared for a test. I have to go back the night before a test and do all the assignments I failed to complete. Homework, I believe, serves as reinforcement of the classwork and prepares you for class discussions,” Terry Tate stated. Added Josette Woodruff, I think homework is essential in furthering a student’s understanding and mastery of the material. Often a teacher doesn’t have time to completely cover all the material in class. Students eased the pain of homework by studying with the radio, stereo, or television, by snacking, and by taking frequent breaks. Study halls, for those lucky enough to fit them into their schedules, also helped students have time to get assignments finished. Though many disagreed with the amount given and the strict systems of grading in some classes, most students were willing to do the necessary work. Summarized Dawn Edwards, Practice makes perfect. Basically homework is nothing but practice to perfect skills. This is why I think homework is important. Homework primes the mind and prepares the student for the next day's discussion or quiz. Doing it keeps a student prepared for class. Mike Boone Homework 51 Listening intently to Mr. Austell's lecture in A.P. English is Carsyn Tennant. A.P.

Honors, and Special Classes were offered to help meet the needs of these students The Advanced Placement (AP) Program consisted of college level courses in English. European History. (J.S. History, biology. chemistry, physics, calculus, and French. Although unusually challenging and stimulating, these courses took more time, gave greater opportunity for individual progress and accomplishment. required more work, and went into greater depth of subject matter. In addition. AP students received one point added to their grade point average. In the past, over 90% of the colleges attended by AP students have allowed some credit for the AP courses. Credit was awarded on the basis of the AP tests taken in the spring. Senior Amy Toy took four AP courses. It gave me a chance to do college work before-hand. You know what to expect in college, but you still have the personal help from high school teachers It gets some of the basic courses overwith so you don’t have to go through it again in college. It saves money you can use for other things that you would rather have. It also helps the GPA. English, French, Resource, BLAP, Math Programs were also available to help meet the need of students who did not plan to attend college and who needed more individualized instruction than traditional classes provided. These included resource classes, speech and hearing therapy, and reading lab. Students benefited from one-to-one assistance on assignments from regular classes by taking resource.

If nothing else, students of A Wing are among the most active. Students learn by experimenting. Mary Fowler, a chemistry student, explained, “Mot only do we do things out of our textbooks, but we learn how to apply them to our everyday life.” For this graduating class, one year of science is all that is needed to graduate. However, many students chose to continue after meeting the requirement. Wayne McKim, a senior, gives his reasons for continuing, “I chose to take physics because I enjoy science and math-oriented subjects. I felt it would be a good college preparatory course.” Junior Brigitte Birk added, “Taking physics has given me a better understanding of all sciences as well as helping me with my current math course. Students who plan a future in health or medicine find science a useful preparatory course, “I am interested in science because I am planning to be a pediatrician,” explained Beatrice Fehrmann. Students often find that in science courses they must pay very close attention, participate in class discussions, and carefully take notes on lectures. “I hate the dissecting. But the rest of biology isn't that bad. The smell of it all is enough to make anyone sick. Sharon Dillon A Wing 55 Experiments in physics class teach the students more about the physics principles.

It is not only the college bound student that finds more than the minimum science requirement an advantage. The general science courses can be very valuable in imparting knowledge of many areas of science. Students may find an area of science they previously knew nothing about and become interested enough to take another course in a specialized area just to find out more about the subject. Household chemistry and physics is one of the science courses that has practical applications for the non-college bound student. This course is designed to make students aware of the effects of these two sciences on their everyday lives. Scientific theory is secondary in these classes to a working knowledge that allows a better understanding of the world we live in. The nutrition course helped to put some solid scientific basis behind the health practices students have heard about all their lives.

Smaller team refutes predictions _ “I wouldn't trade our offensive line for anyone’s in the state,” remarked Vince Yates. And Vince ought to know as he was the man the team and coaches depended upon in tight offensive situations. Fans at the beginning of the season predicted a poor season. Some outstanding players had graduated and several stand-outs chose not to play the '83 season. In numbers, the varsity was notably smaller than fans had come to expect. How did Coach Fred Kyzer view the season? “Team number is not the crucial thing. We have a smaller team this year, but there’s no one who can’t play well at least one position.” According to varsity players, senior leadership was never stronger and the players’ competitive spirit was high. Team After a hard workout, varsity and JV players gather at the water fountain. Practice began during the heat of August and continued daily throughout the season. morale was good because they worked hard and believed in themselves. One weakness of early games was inconsistency on offense and defense. Concentrating on this goal at practice proved successful by the regular season’s end. Seniors Yates, Willie Green, and Greg Norman agreed on differences in overall strategy. In his second year as head coach, Coach Kyzer knew his players, their talents, strengths, and weaknesses well. Where much of the first season was spent trying different things, this sea son was spent concentrating on things that had proven most successful. The team’s depth got a big test when senior Brian Boozer, the leading rusher, suffered a broken arm in the game against Boiling Springs. Asked on WSPA's radio preview show if the loss of Boozer would make things easier on his team, Dorman Coach Al Clark said. Definitely not. I think they clone outstanding running backs over there at Spartan High.” Reggie Rice and Kelly Thompson successfully shared running back duties against Dorman and Gaffney. Rumors of preferential treatment and unfair issuing of equipment were reported by the Spartanburg Herald Journal early in the season.

At that point the Viking offense stalled. Gaffney scored 23 points in the third and fourth quarters to win the game. ‘l thought our defense played super,” commented Viking Head Coach Fred Kyzer. Our defense just had to stay on the field too long in the second half. Team members were disappointed yet philosophical at the outcome. When asked to explain the loss, Pierre Brewton, a JV player moved up to varsity for the play-offs, said, The team lost. You can’t point to any one player. We play as a team and this time we lost as a team. The loss was accepted gracefully all around, although rumor has it that Coach Kyzer has thrown away the half time speech he used. Joked Principal Joe Delaney, Next time there’ll be no half time show. We’ll just go right into the second half of the game. The Vikes advanced to the upperstate championship by beating Lexington 33-7 in the first round. They outplayed Greenwood 21-10 in the second round. Viking fans enjoyed the home game advantage more than usual because of the short home regular season schedule. Even though the Gaffney game was played on Thanksgiving weekend, a crowd of close to 11,000 was on hand. Because of their outstanding regular season play, three Vikes were chosen to participate in the North-South Shrine Bowl game in North Carolina.

With a positive attitude, JV player Jeff Humphries proudly made this remark at the season’s end. The team started their practices at the end of the summer and continued every day after school for the rest of the season. Early in the season, these young athletes realized that they must seriously concentrate to play their best in each and every game. The result was that the defense gave up only 4.7 points per game, while the offense scored on the average of 19.4 points per game. Coached by John Erwin and his assistants, these players proved they had what it takes to be a successful team. Although their season started off slowly, they ended with a season record of 7 wins and 1 loss. Leading scorers for the JV team were Reggie Rice and Terrance Houston. Adding some last minute advice.

Where do these cheerleaders learn these kind of things? Summer cheerleading camp proved to be the answer for the girls on this year’s squad. The squad went to Furman to a four-day clinic sponsered by the National Cheerleading Association in order to improve their skills. What are these camps like? Well, the cheerleaders found it to be four days full of hard work. Each day the girls woke up at 6 A.M. and had two hours before practice time. At 8 A.M. they had to be prepared for a full day of cheering, with an hour for lunch and 30 minutes for individual practice with the coaches. What did they learn? The cheerleaders learned new pyramids, mounts, and stunts from the coaches. Cheerleader Debbie Horne commented, We did our very best, and learned as much as we could. Margaret Turner said the coaches at the camp gave her confidence to climb on top of the pyramids. The camp gave the football squad a chance to meet other squads. The cheerleaders met girls in squads from as near by as Union and as far away as Alabama. The football cheerleaders did very well in the camp competition. The squad received Superior Ribbons for daily evaluations. They also were chosen as one of the top three squads at the camp for their Award of Excellence and their spirit.

Well, when they become 10th graders the chance for that dream comes true! Each fall in September about 30 to 40 girls try out for J.V. cheerleading. They sweat; they yell til they are hoarse, and they have aching muscles. But through all of this, the girls that really want to be a cheerleader go on. Even though they know only 10 can be the lucky ones, they want each other to make it. This year 10 lucky girls are very good. They cheered for both JV football and basketball games. Captain Yvette Green says “It's hard work, but it is fun.” If you haven’t been a cheerleader before, that doesn’t mean that you will not make J.V. Cassandra Garrett is one who had never cheerleaded be fore. She says, “It is not as hard as I thought it would be; I hope to get better and better as I practice.

So what is the bad part of being a cheerleader?

Summer is a time for relaxing, sunning, and swimming, but there is more to it than that for some students. Summer vacation proved to be a busy time for the basketball cheerleaders. This squad spent part of their summer attending a cheerleading clinic in order to improve their skills. The cheerleaders went to Converse College to a camp sponsered by Champion Cheerleading Inc. At this camp the cheerleaders perfected their techniques and incorporated them into new dances, cheers, and chants. In order to learn as much as possible, the cheer- leaders got off to an early start each morning. They woke every day at 6 A M. and ate their breakfast by 7 A.M. Practice started at 8 A M. sharp, so the morning was not off to a slow start. They practiced all day, allowing an hour for lunch and 15 minutes for individual practice with the coaches. The cheer leaders were taught many new pyramids, mounts, and stunts by the coaches. They also gained tips on how to raise school spirit at pep rallies. There were some disadvantages to be found through all this hard work. Many of the girls complained of the early morning hours and the heat wave. As cheerleader Anne Patterson commented though, “It was sort of hard to keep smiling and jumping when your whole body was in pain. The girls’ hard work paid off extremely well. The squad received the Best Overall Squad award, the Best PomPom Routine award, and ribbons on Show night. Kim Poteat received a ribbon for Best Facial Expression, Sheina Waddell a ribbon for Best Jump, and Monica Black a ribbon for Best Smile. There were many things to learn at the summer camp. Anne Patterson concluded that the most important thing she learned was No matter what could be wrong with you, always just keep smiling and keep the spirit. Either away or at home, the cheer leaders always lend their special talent to let the opponent know that the Vikes are one rough and tough group.

Sabrina Earnhardt explained their success, It took a lot of hard work and practice to achieve our team's impressive record. During the season, which last ed from early October to Febru ary, the girls practiced every day after school for 2Vi hours and had two games a week. Obviously, all of those long hours paid off in the end. Although it certainly takes a lot of talent and disciplined training to have a good team, the team must first be able to work together and have total dedication to the game. From the beginning of the season, the teamwork - players decided that in order to win. they had to place more emphasis on teamwork rather than on the individual. The team started the season well and lost only to Union and Dorman. Both of these losses were heartbreaking, but after the games, the girls decided that the only way to reach their goals was to play together. There’s no I in the word ‘team,’ stressed Amy Vaughan. The season proved to be a difficult one, but due to total dedication, teamwork, and many hard practices, the Girls' Basketball team was able to come out on top.

Many went out for the wrestling team but, because of the extremely rough practices, quit. From November to February, wrestlers were found in the gym, striving to get in top physical shape. The team practiced every day after school for two hours. Wrestling also requires a great deal of self-control. Players were required to constantly watch their weight in order to stay in their weight class. The team’s hard-practicing paid off. Although they had only three starting seniors, they paid off. Although they had only three starting seniors, they had a strong winning team. In the first two matches, the wrestlers lost to Dorman and Byrnes. In the next matches they showed great improvement and beat Easley, West-side, Hanna, and Northwestern. Winning against N.W., who was undefeated and had previously defeated Dorman by 20 points, was the highlight of the season. Having lettered in. wrestling, John Roberts explained his rea-. sons for sticking with it, The biggest reason I wrestle is because it takes a certain type of person to be a wrestler ... If you mess up on the mat, you have no one to blame except yourself. After a victory, because you know it was you that won and pulled yourself to victory, it creates a special type of feeling — a feeling of personal confidence and satisfaction, which is one of the greatest feelings one can experience.

Wrestling 99 SOFTBALL '84 Rock Hill Living in a fast-pitch world Determination is the key word for softball. The team is determined to help build up their major weakness, the defense, into one of their strengths. The reason for the weak the defense is the inexperience of the players in playing a fast pitch game. New members aren't experienced in the fast pitch game, yet know all the fundamentals, stated senior player Amy Karriker. Another goal the team is determined to fulfill is the acquisition of a state play off birth. We see Union as our biggest challenge since they are the 1983 IV A State Champions, believes Coach Pam Howard. One essential element in helping to make this a reality is the number of returning letter-men in key positions: Amy Karriker. Suzy Bible, Sally Davis, and Shea Craft. Since they play in the short stop, center field, catcher, and pitcher positions, I believe they are the key to the team’s strength, stated Howard. As with many teams, these players also provide in- spiration for those just starting out, or convincing interested players to join the team. Even with their weaknesses, the team does provide viable competition for the opponents. Whether we play Broome, or Byrnes, Dorman or Union, there are a few heartbreaking losses even with all of the hard work, affirms Karriker. This is supported by Coach Howard's view that, Whoever said, ‘Winning isn’t everything’ was a spectator.” Northwestern Union Boiling Springs Woodmont Dorman Gaffney Broome Rock Hill Wade Hampton Broome Boiling Springs Dorman Wade Hampton Northwestern Union Gaffney Team members must practice the skills of softball in order to play their best in the game.

The girls’ track team consisted of several returning members and many new girls from the junior high schools. As junior Mary Brailsford, who ran for her third year, expressed. The new girls don’t have as much experience, but they keep up amazingly well and show a lot of enthusiasm. The outstanding returning lettermen were Nancy Price and Mary Brailsford in the hurdles, Yvette Green and Amy Vaughan in the 440, Tee Tracy and Sandra Ellis in the high jump, Lisa Yoder in the mile, and Sharon Walker in the two mile. The girls practiced daily after school for two hours on the track or in the A, B, and C wing halls during bad weather. They strived to improve their relays, hurdles, high jump, long challenges- jump, and short distances. Coach Lynda Truluck felt the only weakness with this year’s team was the overall lack of depth.

According to Coach Kilbreth, who was assisted by coaches Mel Baxley, Ernest Thompson, and Ken Williams, the biggest challenge of the year was to beat Northwestern and Rock Hill in Region IMA. Craig Russell adds, Thanks to Coach Kilbreth's inspria tional pep talks, the hours of practice in the uncooperating weather and the team spirit; we will manage to have a terrific season by reaching both team and personal goals.

Christian, a member of the varsity golf team, is expected to be the greatest asset for this year’s team. Christian had the talent to help the golf team reach their goals for the sea son. Christian has goals of his own. Christian, who has been playing golf for more than seven years, hopes to get on to the national golf circuit. He plans to continue golf through high school and then in college; such colleges as Georgia, Florida, and Clemson have already contacted him about golf schol arships. Christian wants the SHS team to win everything they can. He said, I want the team to win from my talent, not just me. Coach John Craig said that his goal for the team was to win every match, tournament, region tournament, and 4A state title. The team may have had high goals for this season, but they also have talent. The team consists of five players — three returning members, and two transfer students. Patrick Cont, Tom Mahaffey, and Roger O’Connell, the three returning golfers, have a lot of tournament experience which is a great asset for the team. Coach John Craig believes that the two transfer students. Christian Williams and Neil Ashcraft, will add strength to the team. Dorman was the biggest challenge in the regular season. They want to be playing their very best in time for the state tournament,’’ Coach Craig concluded. However, in his opinion, the team was the most talented group of golfers he had had in four years.” Sand traps, a problem for many golfers, prove to be no real obstacle for varsity golfer Tom Mahaffey as he hits successfully from a practice bunker.

Opponents are used to chalking up a win before they come to play us. This season they will not have the chalk. predicted senior baseball player Rusty Edwards. An asset for the team was attitude. A desire to win and a friendly attitude aided the team in reaching it’s goal, a winning season. As Jamie Amick commented. “Everybody on the team is friendly, and there seems to be a chemistry be tween the players. Coach Dale Mulwee felt that although the team lacked an experienced pitcher, they could improve their record from last year’s 6-11. To obtain this, he ran the bases more to take advantage of the team’s speed. Furthering this point, Mulwee added, We have a chance to be a real good baseball team. A key to this depends on improved pitching. We will be good defensively and score runs. If the pitching and former J.V. players develop well, we can have a good season. Practicing on the school baseball field or in the gym at 3:30 every afternoon, the players strived to improve their talents and endurance. They held home games at both the school and Duncan Park field. On March ninth and tenth, the team participated in a tournament at Inman Mills. The competition exerted by Dorman and Boiling Springs along with other region teams was severe. Edwards believes. Those two especially are always tough, but then everybody wants to beat the Vikes. A spirit and ability can lead a team to victory, school encouragement helps also. Senior returning Letterman Mike Hall emphasizes, ”A disadvantage our team experienced was poor attendance at our home games. We would like more fan support.” 108 Baseball VARSITY 8ASEBALL: Front Row: Jay Hampton. Greg Morion. Noel Holme . Dwight Hood. Maurice Miller. Tony Earl. Jamie Amick Second Row: Tor rey Jacob .

This equality, along with the inspiration from the state champion Girls' Team, enabled the players to work well together. With the team spirit behind them in both single and double matches, players improved their skills. Boiling Springs appeared to be the toughest opponent due to their large number of veteran players. The team competed twice a week in March and April at the SHS courts and away. With advice from Coach Doc Davis, the players improved volleying, serving, backhand, and forehand shots.

The team had a few new faces in its starting line up. One was Grace Huntley who helped lead the team, as the first start er, to its many wins. This was the first time a McCracken player lead the team. Grace really practices hard to be number one, and it shows, stated senior Kathryn Fnney. Another new face, C.C. Cubitt. the fifth starter, was the first seventh grader to letter in tennis. C.C. Cubitt, like all my players, is a real professional. She is a very mature asset to our team. stated Coach Susan Dean. With these new faces amongst the starters, there was great pressure placed upon the team members. The pressure that was placed on us was unbelievable. I felt like everyone on the team did a super job, asserted Finney. This was shown in the competitive capture of Co-Winner of the State Championship with South Florence High School. That team was one of the strongest we’ve encountered, believed Coach Dean. This title did not come easy. champions. It took many months of practice with some days' practices running until around 7:30 or 8:00 at night. Even though practice was set at two hours a day. except on match days, many girls practiced on their own, stated Coach Dean.

The boys also showed they were willing to sacrifice other things in order to have a winning season. Fifteen of the runners attended Camp Chatuga for cross country during the first week of summer vacation. By running three times a day, the boys added over sixty miles of training to their summer schedule. Camp Chatuga was a key to the summer program, said Coach Kilbreth. The team, throughout the whole season, ran over 500 miles. In order to attend all the important invitationals during the season, the team held its first annual RUN-A-THON, from Hill-crest Mall to the Armory at Westgate and back. Runners ran for pledges from sponsors. The fund raiser netted such a substantial amount of money another one is planned for next summer, with possibly more miles added. Each win was an important win but Coach Kilbreth commented that The most satisfying win was beating Walton from Marietta, Georgia. The boys beat Walton twice, the first time at the Charlotte Invitational and the next at the West Georgia Invitational. All meets during the season were just a step towards the State meet in Columbia. The boys looked very promising in winning the state title, but due to two runners’ injuries the team placed second. The squad had 50 runners in the program. Kilbreth commented that the only major adjustment for next year is to go for first place in the State meet and get it. The boys’ cross country team gets out to another good start at their race against Gaffney. This was a familiar scene during the season.

In the third year of existence the girl's cross country team ‘‘showed improvement in dedication and attitudes”, commented Coach Jim Kilbreth. “The girls realized the extent of training cross country required, and they tried to get their priorities in order.” Senior leadership was a major factor in the success of the girls. Sharon Walker, Carter Willard, and Lisa Yoder had previously run on the teams before and had some idea of what was necessary to run well. Sharon Walker said that cross country this year was great, and that she will miss it next year at college. The girls made a first time accomplishment in the history of the girls' teams. They brought home their first two trophies. They won their first trophy at the Clemson Invitational placing second. The second was at the county meet where they took a first place. Five girls made the all-county team and were honored by receiving awards from the Spar- tanburg Striders Club. Size and inexperience played a major role in the outcome of their finish in the state meet. The squad only had six runners and only three had run there before. The girls finished ninth out of a field of eighteen teams. Nancy Cheng responded that, “My greatest regret was not starting to run earlier. The team will be losing four of the six runners next year with Daughtry Carstarphen and Catherine Boyd remaining to be the guiding force. Making the final turn around the cone.

The Student Advisory Council (SAC) was made up of four executive student body officers, nine class officers, and twenty representatives-at-large from the three classes. Members were elected to vote on recommendations to the administration, to choose projects to work on during the year, to conduct the school's student activities program, and to try to develop school spirit in the student body. SAC met every day in 106 M during fifth period to work on various activities. Some activities included in first semester were the sponsoring of an orientation for all new students; the conducting of sophomore elections; the promotion of homecoming activities with such things as spirit ribbons, a bonfire, a parade, and a dance; the organization of the Thanksgiving project; the sponsoring of the Christmas project to help needy children; the sponsoring of the Christmas assembly; and the sponsoring of a classic film. Planned activities for second semester were to promote school spirit with special activities at pep rallies, the Black History assembly, the Junior-Senior Dance, elections for next year, training sessions for the newly elected officers, a classic film and the Powderpuff Game. In addition, SAC’s objective was to serve as the intermediary between the administration and the students. The Council presented problems suggested to them by students to the administrators and tried to get unpopular policies changed. SAC put in many long hours to perform their duties and to serve the students. Amy Schrieffer, Senior Class Sec. — Treas. said, Being on SAC has shown me that SHS is a special school. It offers a variety of activities for a variety of individuals. Working behind the scenes has allowed me to see how much time and effort goes into the student activities; time and effort most students take for granted.

Spanish Exploring new cultures Seeking to broaden knowledge and inter est, many students studied a foreign language. The French, the German, and the Spanish Clubs furnished outlets for these and other interested students to continue study of a different people, their language, and their culture in a relaxed atomosphere of friendship and activity. The French Club, under the leadership of president Troy Cribb and advisor Mrs. Billie Edmonds and Miss Betty Carver, held cheese tasting, quiche, crepe, Mardi Gras, and dinner parties in order to sample real French foods and customs. In addition, club members went Christmas carolling, raised funds through the sale of French candy, and sponsored a $400 scholarship for a senior planning to study French in college. Playing soccer against the French Club, selling Gummi Bears, and dancing the Chicken Dance were some of German Club’s activities. The summit of the year was the German Club Language Immersion Day held on October 22. It served as a time for members to learn both German traditions and the language. Leading the club in these events were Eric Meyer and Mrs. Robin Johnson. Carrie Knight. Mrs. Rosario Fernandez, and Mrs. Marcelina Goodlett guided the Spanish Club which participated in a fund raising project to support a foster child in Guatemala, and learned of Spanish foods and customs through an annual Christmas Fiesta, taco party, and international dinner. French Club Sophomore Board Member Emelia Gauthier said, Being in the club was a lot of fun. The parties and games as well as the fund raising and hard work led to a greater understanding of foreign cultures. Discussing upcoming French Club events are April Turner and Robin Smart. These students later en joyed the quiche prepared by members for the party at Troy Cribb's house.

Stippling the wall of the teachers cafeteria are Jodi Erwin ano Tim Buss. Painting the cafeteria wall was one of the many projects of the National Art Honors Society. The painting of the teachers cafeteria required the support and help of all National Art Club members. Jerry Robinson. Tracy Davis, and Jodi Erwin add a special touch to the wall of the cafeteria. It is hard for a club to survive without the direction of its advisors Mr. Tom Willis demonstrates a technique of painting the cafeteria wall to President Chris Seay and Pano Stathakis, to help highlight certain areas. Every member of the National Art Honors Society is required to help on projects. Buck Barker is offering his time to the club to meet a project deadline. 128 FHA, NAHS Pursuing their interest Do you wonder what Future Homemakers of America and National Art Society have in common? The answer is that both clubs help the community as well as personally help the members. The goal of FHA is to help youth assume their roles in society through Home Economics Education. The goal of the National Art Honor Society is to develop the personal artistic ability of each student and to promote art in the school and community. In addition to community involvement, Future Homemakers of America also promotes education in areas of personal growth, family life, and vocational preparation. Under the supervision of Mrs. Mildred Wright and Mrs. Wanda Farmer, FHA enables its members to learn more about themselves and about the duties of a homemaker. The theme this year for the club was Making Our Community Better. FHA members take part in projects benefiting the community and school. The community project was refurbishing office space at the Bethlehem Center. The school project for the year was observing FHA week February 6-10. The year proved to be a successful one for those FHA members who gave their time to better our community. The National Art Honor Society is a large club that offers the art oriented student a chance to lend his or her skills to the school. The club is chartered by the National Art Education Association, and each member must meet certain requirements to join and remain a member. The officers, Chris Seay, Catherine Jones, and Nancy Price, and members, under the supervision of Mr. Thomos Willis, Mr. MacArthur Goodwin, and Mrs. Nancy Harrison, have done much to reach their goals. The first project of the club was to paint a mural in the faculty dining room. Other projects included painting the Homecoming photo backdrop, keeping the office area decorated, doing displays in the display case, and setting up exhibits. The club has done a lot to get art recognized in the school. NATIONAL ART HONOR SOCIETY: Front Row: Peggy Cloy ton. Shell Edwards. Nancy Price. Michelle Carrier Second Row: Bill Newcomb.

Three clubs, SOSH, Block S, and FCA offered interested athletes and spectators the chance to become involved in the promotion of good sportsmanship and school spirit. In hopes of boosting school spirit and encouraging the various teams, SOSH, the Spirit of Spartan High, made signs to cover hall walls. The devoted members, along with advisors Ms. Linda Edwards and Mrs. Sunni Parker, met once a week in the Old Student Center to create the imaginative slogans and banners.

Their main project was working at the concession stand during the basketball games. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, FCA, was strongly supported throughout the year. Its monthly dinner meetings averaged 70 students. The organization's purpose was to present athletes, coaches, and all whom they influenced, the adventure of receiving Jesus Christ and having a personal relationaship with Him. Pano Stathakis said he enjoyed the excellent speakers and good fellowship.” Adding to this, president Elizabeth Green said, “It is a good time for school friends to get together in a Christian atmosphere without peer pressure. Their projects included the Donkey Basketball fund raiser, the sponsorship of a family at Thanksgiving, the collection of children's games for Christmas, and the presentation of invocations at football games.

Gordon Penncboker ' The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. This popular saying is often associated with skiing but can also relate to the field of science. Just as you can win in sports, it is possible to win in science. But there are also the pitfalls of defeat in these fields. The ski season got off to a slow start for the Ski Club, but after the weather improved their plans became reality. The first ski trip the club planned for December 17 was canceled because of the mild weather. During the months of October and November, club members sold M M's to raise money for their tentative ski trips. The club also planned possible grass skiing and white water rafting trips. Under the supervision of Dr. Michael Bates, the Ski Club provided an outlet for those novice or advanced students interested in skiing. Claudine Sartor sums up the year’s club by saying, Although the club was fustrated by the bad ski conditions at the first of the year, I think the season turned out pretty good. The Delta Pi Science Club did not have many pitfalls but enjoyed a prosperous year under the leadership of Mrs. Nancy Bane and Mr. Randy Mahaffey. The purpose and goals of the organization, said Mr. Randy Mahaffey, club advisor, were to advance interest in science and to become an integral part of the South Carolina Academy of Science.” Through monthly meetings, the club attempted to promote projects, to hear guest speakers, and to take field trips. Two events for the club were the egg drop contest and the paper airplane contest. Through both success or disappoint ment, the Ski Club and Delta Pi Science Club enjoyed exciting times with their fellow skiers and scientists. DELTA PI: From Row: Gwen Chidester. Sonya Arnold.

Wheelers Serving faculty students Do students actually give up their study halls and extra time to work for the school? That is exactly what Wheelers, office workers, AV, ITV, and library assistants do. Wheelers give more time and have more responsibility. As bus drivers, they have to take many students to and from school each day. Along with the job, they have to keep the buses clean, becuase the students tend to make a mess with paper and gum. Office workers answer the phones, deliver messages to students, and run errands. Students in the main office do the same as grade level assistants, but they also sort the mail and place messages in the teachers' boxes. AV workers are responsible for signing out audiovisual equipment. They also transport tapes, tape players, and film projectors to the classrooms. Mrs. Glenda Rea- gan supervises these volunteers. One of the logistical problems faced by AV work ers is making sure each homeroom has access to a TV when election time rolls around. Election speeches, speeches of candidates for student body offices, SAC representatives, and class officers are broadcast prior to voting. Library assistants are trained to do many jobs. Checking in and out books, getting magazines and reserve materials, shelving books, putting book jackets on, and filing cards are just a few of their many tasks. ITV workers assist Mr. Cliff Hendrix in taping candidate speeches, assemblies, sports events, and other special activities that are recorded for later classroom or school use. Hundreds of students ride busses to and from school each day. Student bus drivers train at Daniel Morgan before taking on this responsibility of providing stu dent transportation.

Expanding its service role Interact club members have had many opportunities to serve the school and community through the projects this male service club has undertaken. Led by president Kirk Davis and advisor Mr. Jim Mancke, this group of civic-minded young men contributed much time and effort in service to others. The club perforemd most of their traditional service projects such as ushering at Greek Night, football games, and school functions, while accepting some new responsibilities such as assuming a larger role in the Spartanburg Christmas Concert. Interact members helped with orientation at the beginning of school as well as help- ing the Goodfellows organization with their Christmas project. Some members were able to attend Rotary International luncheon meeting in an attempt to strengthen ties with Interact’s sponsor organization. Interact also went carrolling with the Anchor Club before Christmas. The highlight of the year, as most club members would agree, was the annual Key-lnteract football game. Interact used its spare time during the winter months to prepare for this important ritual. Through their many activities, the Interact Club taught its members the importance of leadership, community involvement, and selflessness. Enjoying the refreshments. Vandy Huskey.

Civinette members are led by the six senior officers Shelley Edwards, president; Nancy Cheng, Vice-President; Jennifer King, Secretary; Troy Cribb, Treasurer; Margaret Hendrix. Sargeant at Arms; and Amy Schrieffer, Chaplain. Twice a year an applicant party was held and girls were elected into the club. Once voted in, it is the girl's responsibility to donate 30 hours 1 each semester to the club. V j Several projects, fund raisers, and n events are scheduled so that the girls can e earn their hours. The main projects which the girls participated in throughout the c whole year was working at Latch Key. the s Children's shelter, and honoring teachers with a small gift of appreciation. Other projects were the Special Olympics, Kid ney Foundation, Heart Fund, and Cancer research. To raise money, the club sold M M's. Members also sold bumper stickers to help boost school spirit and to raise money. Civinettes, though, is not just working all the time. Projects are provided so that the girls can participate in fun activities with other clubs at the school. They helped Z and Anchor give a party for the football players at the Warehouse. Jennifer King said that was the best project because I enjoyed being with the other service clubs. They also went carolling with Key during Christmas. Civinettes' main objective for the year was, as Nancy Cheng sums it up, to work with different people and to help the school and community. Enjoying their meal at Mr Gattis, Civinettes Amy Schrieffer and Jennifer King talk to a Boiling Springs Civinette.

Leo Club decorated a car for their float using the posters painted by Eric Meadows and other members. I e o Achieving goal to serve Leadership. Opportunity to serve. Experience in helping others. These are three of the many characteristics available to Leo members. 'Even though we are only one year old, I feel we have done more to promote these qualities in every club mem ber. stated club president Scottie Allen. Essential in achieving these high goals were the many service projects undertak en by the club. Annual projects for the club included: selling ornaments for the S.C. Lung Association Christmas tree at West-gate Mall. Weatherization of houses for the underpriviledged, sponsored by Duke Pow er, selling buttons for Send-A Mouse to Col lege, selling food at the Lion's Club Booth at the Piedmont Interstate Fair. Some new projects undertaken included a doughnut sale during November, a football game with Dorman Leos, football jerseys for club members, helping the faculty during orien tation. By far, the most exciting project of all those we undertook was our football game against Dorman, stated member Mark Anthony. This game was quite important to the club because this was the first time we ever got a chance to meet and discuss the difference and similarities between the two clubs. After many hours of sweat and determination, the SHS Leos suffered a heartbraking loss by the score of 1 to 0. But remember, there is always next year! quipped Allen. One of the problems not faced by the club was poor participation in activities. We have a real good group of guys that always are there when you need them, stated club advisor William Johnson. I was really surprised at the success of our dinner meetings, especially since they were the first ones we ever had, added advisor Arthur Brewton. One secret to this success was the relatively moderate membership that averaged around 30 members of which at least 99% attended the regular activities and scheduled meetings.

Each member acts as a candy striper at a local hospital on the day of their choice and for as many hours as they are willing to donate. These candy stripers lend a hand in all aspects of the hospital, although Anisa Browning felt that helping with the babies was the most rewarding. As a service project, the Health Careers Club sold Krispy Kreme doughnuts. They used their profits to allow people at nursing homes to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Health Careers Club has high hopes for branching out their volunteerism to help at the Red Cross and at soup kitchens. Three young ladies at Spartanburg High School received special awards for Health Careers. Each girl put in more than 100 hours a piece. They were Shelia McHam, Tammy Holbert, and Michelle Booker. Each girl started in junior high because they wanted to finish high school and go on to study some field of nursing. Tammy Holbert says, I hope to become a Respiratory Therapist.” Getting a job, learning work techniques, and competing for awards are some of the activities of DECA, the Distributive Educa tion Club. While getting work experience, students of Distributive Education learn the terms of merchandizing and advertising in the classroom. Members of the club have an opportunity to compete in the district competition in March and State DECA in April. During these competitions, each student is individ ually judged at their place of employment. The goal of DECA is to allow students the experience of work and, at the same time, learn the tricks of the trade.” 154 DECA, Health Careers Speed and diligence are two things it takes to be a cashier Lisa Rhinehart. who works for Community Cash, works hard to be the best she can.

A student body of unique people succeeded in making an entire school outstanding. Sometimes dreaded, often feared but always respected, the teachers command our attention while preventing us from sleeping. They inspired us to excell, not only for the school, but for ourselves also. The special faculty-student relationship enabled us to earn our place in the limelight. Learning not only the language but the culture. Mrs Billie Edmonds believes is an important part of A P. French. She tells the students French jokes and encourages them to translate into French some they know. Helping out the cross country teams, Kelly Bridges and Hal Gault keep score during a meet. Both took a personal interest in the success of the teams. In chemistry class sophomore Meredith Thomason checks over her work before handing in her test. Although sometimes overwhelmed by the huge campus and student body, sophomores took pride in finally being a Viking. 156 People Division Seniors honor peers The senior year is one for a variety of honors — in sports, academics, and service. Class members themselves bestow honors on classmates with whom they have shared the triumphs and defeats of the last three to twelve years. The Best Looking and Senior Superlative honors have long been a tradition. The Class of 84 indicated a desire to continue the awards, although the voting was disappointing in that barely 50% of the senior class completed their ballots. Those who won the balloting in each category were proud of the recognition of their talents and dedication. The Class of 1984 salutes these members of their class.

Well, three young and beautiful girls got the chance. They are Elizabeth Green, Georgia Cochran and Amy Nixon. Of course, there was more to competing in these pageants than just being beautiful. They also had to be talented, intellectual, and have served their community. Elizabeth Green, a senior, competed in the Miss National Teenager Pageant in Columbia, South Carolina, at Columbia College. Elizabeth was third runner-up out of ninety-five girls. She also finshed in the top five in the talent competi tion playing the piano. Elizabeth says. ‘My biggest thrill from the pageant was getting to know so many different people. Another senior, Georgia Cochran, competed in the South Carolina Miss TEEN pageant. This pageant was held at the Hyatt-Regency in Greenville, South Carolina. One of the qualifications was a 3.0 grade point average. Georgia did a dance and gymnastics routine in which she placed in the talent finals. Also competing in the South Carolina Miss TEEN Pagaent was junior Amy Nixon. Another qualification of this pageant was having done a certain number of hours of civic work. Amy was a counselor at the YMCA day camp. Amy’s reaction to the pageant was, I learned how to act under pressure, how to be responsible, and I got a chance to meet a lot of peo-pie’’ None of these girls have plans to compete again in the near future. There was no doubt, however, whether or not they are qualified. Being beautiful, talented, intellectual, and willing to serve their community, definitely made these girls queens in everyone’s eyes.

Junior Olympics kept her busy as she played on the basketball team that placed fourth in the nation. Two years ago Amy attended a basketball camp at the University of Tennessee. There the coach, who was executive director of Junior Olympics, saw Amy’s talent for basketball and wanted her to reach for the Junior Olympics. After Amy made the Central Carolina Panthers, she started practice. Traveling every weekend to Columbia for 3 months before school was out was a difficult routine. At Francis Marion College the Panthers beat 9 teams from around the state to win the State Championship. Between State and Nationals Amy attended the Blue Star Camp in Maryland. Because it’s an invitation only” camp, All around athlete Amy Vaughn has proven herself to be a real competitor by starring in the discus, running events, volleyball, and basketball. Amy met up with some of the best competition in the country and “got a taste of what Nationals would be like.” After the Blue Star Camp Amy, along with the team, roomed at Converse College and practiced every day for the national tournament. The national tournament was held in Hammon, Louisiana. They started out by losing to New Jersey. Despite that loss, they came back to beat four other teams from all over the country. They finished with a loss to Pittsburgh, placing them fourth in the nation. Amy was able to meet people from all over the country even though practice kept her busy most of the time. Luckily, Amy got to room with Kim Farrell, a Dorman player. Amy says, We became good friends, even though she was from Dorman! DANNY BYRD JV Football 2; Varsity 3: Track 2: Art 3.

COLLINS Guts on 2 wheels You may have seen a couple of students in wheelchairs around school and wondered how they managed. Well, for these students in wheelchairs, it is not easy. It seems as if it is twice as hard for these students to get around school. According to one of these students, Lentz White, it is not an easy job to get from class to class. Lentz said, “Spartan High is just too big to get around well in a wheelchair, but he does manage to do a pretty good job of it. Lentz at tended McCracken Junior High last year and found that he could get to his classes without difficulty because they were ail on one level. Lentz said “The facilities at S.H.S. ARE adequate for the handicapped. This certainly seems to be a positive aspect for students in wheelchairs to chose to attend Spartan High over a school for the handicapped. Lentz has high hopes for his future. He plans to attend college for four years. With this positive attitude and outlook for the future. Lentz seems to be on his way to prove that those people confined to wheelchairs can achieve any goals they want to. Although his wheelchair makes travel between classes difficult, Eric Miller re lies on friends to assist him. In English he works on a vocabulary assignment Wheelchairs make sitting in regular classroom desks impossible. Lentz White finds classroom tables the per feet answer to the problem as he reads a book in English class. 168 Seniors MARK EDMOND CONLON Soccer 2. 3. 4: Interact 2. 3.

Tiger or Gamecock county? You decide Tigers, Gamecocks, Bulldogs, and Fighting Irish. Almost everyone has that one special or favorite college football team that they enjoy watching. Reasons for supporting college football teams vary as much as the number of teams supported. Some students favor a school they want to attend after graduation. Others back schools of friends or relatives. Some are attracted by the school's colors or mascot. Mr. Bill Pell says he rarely goes to college games, but his favorite is Georgia. Georgia is the logical choice for him; Georgia is the university he attended. I like to follow Georgia football because it keeps me in touch with my roots. And I always enjoy it when Georgia beats Clemson, he stated. Principal Joe Delaney’s favorite team is Notre Dame. That is the only team he goes to see. As a matter of fact, the Fighting Irish has been the only college team I’ve seen since I have been in Spartanburg. Of course, attending all Viking sports events leaves him little time for more football. Mr. Delaney's three sons get to ac- company him to nearby games. Mr. Delaney chose Notre Dame because he likes the Notre Dame tradition. It has good academics, good players that are intellectual and nice to be around, and good teams as a whole. He also inherited interest in this team from other members of his family who also follow the team. By far, the most popular teams are Clemson and the University of South Carolina. It is not ununsual to see tiger paws on the license plates or windows of Clemson fans' vehicles. More ardent fans drive Clemson orange vehicles. Decorated mailboxes frequently announce a family's leanings. The rivalry between these schools and their fans reach a high point each year during the week of the annual Clemson-Carolina games for SC bragging rights. Jokes berating the rival team fill the hallways, office, and radio broadcasts throughout the state. Regardless of their season records, both teams view this win necessary for a successful season. 170 Seniors Clearly a fan of University of South Carolina, sophomore Jeff Humphries lets everyone know his favorite in the next day s Clemson Carolina classic. Enjoying an outdoor lunch on a sunny November day. Sharon Dillon an nounces her loyalty to Georgia on Fa vorite College Day. Students often support colleges attended by friends or relatives. Al though she doesn't plan to attend Princeton herself, senior Cynthia Spieth gives some loyalty to her brother Bob s college. SARAH HILLARY EDMUNDS J.V.

Jay Hannah (right) tells Billy Woodard about his trip to Europe with a group of French students. Exploring cultures Strolling the Normandy beaches, touring the Heidel-burg Castle along the Rhine, climbing the Swiss mountains, and hearing the tick of the Big Ben are some of the spectacular memories five Spartan High students have of last summer. A fantastic, four week European trip, led by Mr. Richard Fowler, was enjoyed by Barbara Bagwell, Jay Hannah, Margaret Hendrix, Cathy Jeffers, and Jim Jones. During their tour, they stayed not only in hotels but in campgrounds, in hostelries, and in private homes. The homes were those of the French exchange students who visited Spartanburg last spring. Margaret Hendrix felt that staying with a French family was rewarding in learning the culture, language, and everyday life of the French. Although each country they saw was fascinating, these students agreed they were overwhelmed by Switzerland. The beauty of its countryside, its mountains and waterfalls, and the cleanliness of the entire country made Switzerland their favorite. The trip was an exciting adventure. Cathy Jeffers summed up her feelings by saying, The trip was great, and I feel it was a wonderful learning experience for all who went.” JUDY CANDACE GIBBS Symphony Orch. 2. 3. 4: Civinettes 2. 3. 4: Sr. All State 2. 3: Delta Pi 3. 4: NHS 3. 4: Furman Sch. 3: Girls’ State Alt. 3: Science Olympiad for Girls 3: Governor’s School 3: SAC Rep. 4: Peer Couns. 4: Most Likely to Succeed 4.

Vince Yates takes computer math He and Adnanne Tyu begin the class assign ment 176 Seniors Husband, father, and athlete Somehow for Vince Yates and Margaret Burton, school, sports, marriage, and a son have all been tied together. Their many responsibilities seem to have helped them set clear goals for their lives rather than getting them down. Vince was a standout during the football season and was regarded as the area’s best tight end. Game after game it was he the team and coaches counted on when the going was tough. Always an outstanding receiver and runner, Vince's per sonal goal for the season was to improve his blocking. A measure of his success was being chosen for the North-South Shrine Bowl game. Vince was also a stalwart on the varsity basketball squad. Head Coach Doug Lowe said. ‘The best thing about Vince is that he's a competitor. It’s Vince’s own confidence in his abilities that contributes to this characteristic. As Vince says, If I think I can beat you. I will. Vince’s goals for the year were not limited to athletics. He felt he had let his grades fall his sophomore year and wasn’t always “on top of things last year. Because college is in his plans. Vince has been a better student. I’m doing great this year in my books. he said. As early as September, colleges showed an interest in Vince. In addition to area schools, Iowa, Maryland. Stanford, and Wake Forest have contacted him. Computers are Vince’s ca reer goal. He took SHS’s computer courses and has chosen to pursue something in this area, specifically what has yet to be decided. Vince hopes that by his sophomore year in college, he and Margaret and Squirt” can get an apartment near campus. He hates to be away from his family and wants always to be there for my son. His own father was shot in the back after an argument and he knows what missing a father is like. Little Vince cries when his dad leaves the house and, It makes me feel bad,” said Vince. Vince’s coaches, guidance counselor, and teachers have been impressed with his achievements and perser-vance. Success seems in the cards for the Yates family.

A popular question that is asked is Why do we need homeroom? Some students believe that homeroom is a time to socialize. while others use this time to do homework or cram for a test in the last few minutes before class. Checking attendance is a mandatory reason for homeroom. At the closing of each semester, students use homeroom as a time for registering for new courses. Students have the same homeroom teacher through their years at SHS. This gives them the opportunity to become close, as they start each day together and also sit together at assemblies. During homeroom, the announcements can be heard over the intercom. Some of the announcements include club meetings’ times and places, college representatives visits, and persons required in the office. Distribution of dreaded ISS and detention notices, lunch tickets, and yearbook pictures are some of the things students receive in homeroom. The election of homeroom officers is a special event. In underclassman homerooms, the voting of class officers is held, while senior homerooms are diligently voting for their superlatives and Homecoming queen. Special projects of each homeroom include a collection of food for a family at Thanksgiving and the giving of gifts to a child at Christmas.

LEAK FREDERICK LEE 180 Seniors Muscle man Clyde Norris looks just as good in class as he does on stage. Clyde won Best Poser and Most Muscular in the Mr Teenage American Contest in which he won the title. Our Mr. America Look at what eight months of hard work can do. Clyde Norris, a junior, began lifting weights for football. After joining the Olympian Fitness Center, he became interested in body building. My friends and Lee Haney encouraged me to enter contests, Clyde said. He began by entering the Spartanburg Teen Age Body Building Contest and won first place. Taking a break from contests, Clyde guest posed for the Miss Black Spartanburg Pageant on July 15th at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. Before entering the Teen Age Atlantic (JSA Contest, Clyde had to seriously train for a month. He could not eat any fried foods or junk food. He also had to ride a bicycle for forty-five minutes a day and do aerobics. The contest was on August 6th and Clyde impressed the judges by winning the Best Poser and Most Muscular segments which placed him first. He received for his efforts a 5’2 trophy. Did all his hard work payoff? Clyde thinks so. It was a lot of hard work; but after I looked and then looked at myself, I thought I must really look good.” HYUNNA LEE Anchor 2. 3. 4. J. Board 3.

Not many students would consider it an honor to spend five weeks of their summer attending classes, but a number of students received intensive study in academic and artistic fields. These students either attended the Governor's School at the College of Charleston or the Governor’s School for the Arts at the Furman campus in Greenville, S.C. The Governor s School at the College of Charleston was designed to provide special aca demic and creative experiences for a limited number of rising high school seniors who dem onstrated exceptional academic achievement, intellectual potential, and creativity. After undergoing a rigorous ap- plication process, eight SHS students were selected to attend. The students selected were Karen Ellis, Eddy Moore, and Billy Woodard who studied chemistry, Anne Scavillo who studied Law and Society, Mark Wines who studied Behavioral Science, Chuck Cunningham and Larry Slovensky who studied math and Computer Scin-ece, and Colette Gauthier who studied Marine Biology. In addition, each student also participated in a global issues seminar. Eleven students were selected to attend the Governor's School for the Arts after presenting an example or tape of his or her work and after being interviewed. The Governor’s School for the Arts was conceived to offer intensive study to gifted students in their specific area in the arts. Attending the art department were Jennifer King. Jerry Robinson. John Schlaepfer. Carlos Simpson, and Vernon Young. Drama was studied by Mike Brown. David Conway, and Amy Schrieffer. Music classes were taken by Susan Erde. Veneta Harakas, and Mandy Turner. The general consensus was that the students were offered a chance to experience college life in a high academic or artistic atmosphere. The students considered it a great opportunity and an enlightening experience. In addition to many re- sponsibilities, each student had a time for a little fun. Enrich ment activities were offered which included lectures, concerts. films, dances, sports activities. and other outings. Students also met a lot of people and made many new friends. Intellectual and emotional growth made Governor’s School a worthwhile experience for those involved. The general opinion of the students was stated by Jennifer King who said, “It was hard work, but I really loved it.” Anne Sea villo added, It was an excellent educational experience and all the fun involved made it exceptional. I loved it and encourage all the interested students to go out for it.” 182 Seniors GOVERNOR S SCHOOL AND GOVERNOR’S SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS: Front Row: Jennifer King. Susan Erde. Colette Gauthier.

( Summer at camp How much money would you pay to run sixty torturous miles in five days and to be eaten up by gnats and mosquitoes? Does $100 dollars sound too much? Well, that is the price that twelve boys and two girls on the cross country team paid to attend the Chattooga Cross Country Camp this past summers. The runners attended the camp during the first week of June and stayed for one week. Jim Kilbreth. coach of the cross country teams, said. “The camp allows the team to get in two weeks of running in one week. The camp also starts our summer running program.” The boys who went to the camp were Billy Cook. Clay Boswell, Ricky Eitel, Will Mount. Walter Gains, Kirk Da vis, Brian Agnew, Steve Har-ben, Richie Sanders, Peter Jensen. Paul Prochaska. and Chris Harmon. The girls who attended the camp were Sharon Walker and Carter Willard.

D.C . as Spartan High's re presentative to the Fourth District Con gressional Classroom. Mr. B. visits D.C. What's the best way to meet students from all the schools In the area? Have lunch with prominent Washington figures such as Strom Thurmond and Jack Kemp? Get a chance to see the House of Representatives in session? Simple, just get yourself appointed as the student from Spartan High to be part of the Fourth District Congressional Classroom. The lucky student, you ask? Reed Brown was chosen the representative for our school to go to this district — wide meeting held in Washington. D.C. There are 33 high schools in District 4. One student from each school is chosen. The trip began on June 6 and lasted through June 10. During this period. Reed Brown had many opportunities to learn about our capital and also have a lot of fun. Among his activities were a lunch with Strom Thurmond and various Congressmen. He also got chance to see a play at the Kennedy Center starring Hal Linden. He attended two briefings, one at the White House addressed by Lee Atwater and one at The Organization of American States. Although this all sounds like business, there were many fun activities. One was a hot dog supper at Carroll Campbell’s house. Reed comments that he really enjoyed the program and was impressed with Carroll Campbell. But he was most impressed by the trip to the FBI and the brief-•no of the OAS. JOHN PHILLIP SCHLAEPFER Band 2. 3. 4: JV FOOTBALL 2: V.

MELODY DENA SMITH GRACIE SMITH Who can throw a baton high into the air. spin around several times and catch the twirling ba ton before it hits the ground, all without falling? Leigh Magar can; that’s who. Leigh is a sophomore and a ba ton twirler for the SHS band. How do you get to twirl for the band you ask? Well you just go right up to the band leader and say “I want to be a baton twirler for the band '. And that’s just what Leigh did. She saw Stacey Murray per form as a twirler and decided she wanted to twirl also. She asked Mr. Smith, band director, tried out the next day. and made it. Leigh twirled at 2 football games and 1 basketball game. Practice is the key word for baton twirling, and Leigh says she must practice 2 and 3 Twirl that ole baton! hours everyday. Baton twirl ing is hard work; its harder than most people think it is. laughs Leigh. Leigh said a lot of practice and courses in ballet and gym nasties are needed. She took baton lessons for 5 years from a private teacher when she was younger. Even though she no longer takes lessons she prac tices by herself. As far as her future in baton twirling goes. Leigh is not sure what she’ll do but she hopes to continue twirling. If I have enough time to practice the amount I should. I hope to twirl next year. Leigh said. Wheth er Leigh does become a twirler next year or not. she knows that she has a good talent that she worked hard for. and one of which she can be proud.

Kevin Polk attends classes. In Honors Biology, he conducts an experi men! during lab. Triathlon, what next? What is someone approached you and asked you if you would consider running 6 miles, swimming 3 4 of a mile, and biking 20 miles all in the same day? To most people the idea would sound ludicrous but to Ernie Acanfora, Ann Ro-mine. Kevin Polk, Ken Yager, Alan Abrams, and Nancy Price it was a new challenge, and they participated in the Triathlon held this fall. Alan, Ken and Ernie first be came interested in the Triathlon when their Spartaquatics swim team coach. John Vas-binder approached them with the idea. He had learned that the Day School was entering a team and the coach, as Alan stated wanted us to beat them. The Day School, though, pulled out before the event; but since Spartaquatics had already committed themselves they went through with it. Alan hiked. Ken swam, and Ernie ran. Ann and Kevin were also on a team sponsored by the Bicycle Gallery. Ann swam, Kevin hiked, and a Wofford student, Dean Tobias, ran. To get in shape for this competition many hours of preparation were put in. Alan says that he would “ride after swim team practice, usually 15-25 miles every other night depending on the weather. Kevin also rode 10-30 miles a day leading up to the race. Ken, though, didn't have to prepare as much since he already swam about 22 hours a week for the swim team. The participants as a whole felt the Triathlon was well received despite the rainy weather conditions. Alan said that “It was worth all the time put into getting into shape, and that he really enjoyed it. Kevin said. “The race was undefinable. There are also plans for another Triathlon in the area and despite all of the hard work, Ken says, I will probably do it again. KEVIN B. VESS Soccer 2. 3. 4: Block S 2. 3. 4.

Our cafeteria provides 4 different lunches every day. Here students are enjoying bag lunches that are served each day. Steps are a popular place to eat and enjoy our lunch. For these two people a bit of conversation also takes place at lunch. 194 Seniors They work to make big bucks Money, Money, Money! It Is a very familiar word and a preoccupation for students these days. To help compensate for the money shortage, several students gave up their summer vacation to work. If you were to make the rounds at the swimming pool to cool down from the summer heat, you may have found some students. At the Spartanburg Raquet and Swim Club. Cynthia Speith and Lisa Yoder could have been found cooking juicy, delicious hamburgers for demanding children. Or you could have heard them yelling such phrases as “Get off the rope!” or Don't run!” “Hillbrook Wins City Championship” was a headline in the newspaper this summer. Behind this winning force was Libba Gowan. Her job this summer was to coach the swim team and to lifeguard. To Libba. coaching the swim team was a goal I have had since I was six years old. Not so usual jobs this summer were held by Rob Fontenot and Julia Nettles. Rob had the opportunity to work for District 7 moving furniture. He says, It was great earning money and then going out and spending it. Julia was able to receive a job as a governess to her aunt's children in New York. To Julia, It was an opportunity to gain valuable experience in caring for children. Working on weekend nights, giving up dates, or dropping supplies on your feet may be low points in working, but to most, working this summer was well worth it. As Cynthia Spieth sums it up, “it beats having to sit around the house all summer. JOYCE WOODS ROBERTA CHRSTINE WOODSON Track 2. 4: Black History 4. PAULA MICHELLE WOODY H.R. Sec. 3; Chorus 3: Adv.

The advisors spend hours helping the clubs do exciting things. Advisors have satisfying moments and annoying difficulties. Mr. MacArthur Goodwin said the satisfying thing he gets out from advising the Art Club was, “seeing students becoming more interested in the arts and being promoted in the arts. Mrs. Olga Burtnett (basketball cheerleaders) says one annoying thing is “girls being late for practice.” This takes time from the other cheerleaders’ practice time. The other club advisors also agree with Mrs. Burtnett. Mr. Jim Mancke (Interact) and Mrs. Nancy Bane (Delta Pi) were in clubs in high school. Mr. Mancke was the Key Club treasurer. 'People joke around about my being an advisor for Interact,” says Mancke. Mrs. Bane was in many clubs and “enjoyed being in them all.” The student club advisors served important roles in promoting student activities. Their time and efforts were greatly appreciated by the students and the school. Co-Sponsors of the French Club Mrs. Billie Edmonds and Mrs. Betty Carver enjoy themselves at the club's cheese tasting party. Director of Student Activities. Mr. Larry Moore, and Student Council Advisor.

The curtain’s going up! The Spartanburg Youth Theatre is an extension of Theatre Spartanburg. Theatre Spartanburg is the adult drama group that along with the Youth Theatre put on various series of different plays. The people involved with the Youth Theatre range from elementary age to high school age. Every production calls for specific sizes, ages, and sexes. Qualifications are announced prior to auditions. For example, students auditioning for the musical Scrooge had to prepare a solo as well as reading for parts. There are several SHS students who have become involved in the Youth Theatre. Some participate as actors and actresses while others help as crew members, controlling lights, sets, applying makeup, and handling props. All involved spend hours of time preparing a play for opening. Cast members generally rehearse 8 hours a week for 6 weeks. Four hour rehearsals are not uncommon the last few days before a performance. Students who have been involved in plays this year are: Robert Bailey, Jodi Irwin, Mer-dith Thomason, Richard Montgomery, and Hugh Hayes. Crew members included Chris Bundy, Will Boggs, Georgi Jones, Allyson Cook, Kim Creef and Chris Hodge. Although SHS has a drama club and had one musical, Bar-num in the spring, Youth The atre allows students a chance to do more productions and a variety of types of drama. Trying to convince his wife that they should toast Scrooge at their Christmas eve dinner, Cratchit (Robert Bailey) argues with Mrs. Crachit (Jodi Irwin). 202 Juniors Dressed in period costume of the 1860 s.

Alice Morgan, a senior, picked up some extra cash by teaching private violin lessons at her home. Alice has five students who come between half an hour and an hour a week. The lessons and the prices were set up by the string faculty (Mr. Bill Scott). However, Alice is able to set up the lessons on her own time. Alice explains how her job has been rewarding. My job does not limit me to certain hours, and I am not under a lot of pressure. I have enjoyed watching my students progress and helping them with the same problems I encountered.’ ’ Another young entrepreneur is Richie Sanders, who is a part of the Southeastern Talent Agency. Primarily, they are in terested in people who sing. He became involved because his father, who ran the Soundry Board in Greenville, encouraged him. What the agency does is visit with young people who have a talent and give them their card. If the person is interested, they send Richie a letter with a tape. If the other members of the agency like the sound, then they promote this person. It does not cost money to join — just the will to devote a lot of time and talent to the agency. Cynthia Spieth pulled in money this year by tutoring. Cynthia tutored for one hour a week at her own home. Mr. John Davis, her calculus teacher, asked for the name of any students who would be willing to tutor. Cynthia described her job, I like the freedom of being able to set my own hours and days. The responsibility, though, of having her grades rest on my shoulders can be overwhelming sometimes, especially when she fails a quiz. Rocking to the beat is how Jeff Floyd made money this year. For the past 5 years, he has been dancing with the Cosmic Dancers. However, it is not all fun as Jeff practices 3 hours for 3 afternoons a week. This year, they made a tape at WSPA with the hopes of going to New Orleans for the World State Fair in 1984. This has been rewarding for Jeff because he plans to be a professional dancer and go into acting as a career. Looking over his Social Studies book before a test. Jeff Floyd puts as much work into his education as his career as a dancer. He hopes to officially make show business his career after graduation. 204 Juniors Giving tests to his Honors English class gives Mr Bill Pell a chance to catch up on other work.

You may have heard these names before and thought that we had a famous person among us. Some of these students participated in an interview and told what they felt about having a famous name. Sophomore Jim Jones said that he enjoys having the name 206 Juniors Famous for their names. Jim Jones. Jim Jones. Grace Kelly. Carrol Camp bell. John F Kennedy, and Cesar Chavez pose in the library. These students find their names to sometimes be bur densome and embarrassing, but most often an asset. of a famous person although he really doesn’t know who the famous Jim Jones actually was. Most Americans have heard of the Late President John F. Kennedy. Well, there is also a John F. Kennedy in the student body. This particular sopho more enjoys having a famous name and would not want to have it changed. Of the late President. John says He was a great man. Of his famous name, Cesar Chavez, a senior says, I never really thought of it as a famous name because a lot of people don’t know who Cesar Chavez is. Cesar admires the famous immigrant worker Cesar Cha vez, but he never really thought about his name being actually famous. If he could change his name, though. Cesar would be cause too many people ask him about its origin. Having a famous name may make some of these students feel important, but as sopho more Jim Jones says. “It’s just a name like anybody else’s. Other famous people you might see roaming the halls are two more gentleman called James Jones, Carroll Camp bell, and Grace Kelly.

It seem as though many students took vacations abroad last summer. Many, like Pano Stathakis, Janet Copses, and Lydia Fryml, went abroad to visit friends or relatives. But there were those like Carol Skelton, Jodi Erwin, and Lori Bright who went with groups. Each had different reasons for going abroad, but the main reason was for a mixture of business and pleasure. I went to see my friends graduate from high school as well as to take a vacation before work, said Lydia Fryml about her trip to her native Bermuda. Likewise, Janet Copses went home to Toronto for a Greek convention. Both agreed that these places provided much for them to do in their spare time. When asked about prices and native cuisine. Pano Stathakis stated that both were very good and quite reasonable in his native Greece. Jodi Irwin confirmed this with high praise for Italian food and prices: The lira exchange was very high, so I got more for my dollars, she said. Some of the most interesting places visited were the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame. Athens, Edinburgh Center Island, and Stonehenge. At each place, there was something that inter ested everyone. However, one of the most interesting events that Lori Bright remembered was her Stonehenge adventure. I was there when the monument was supposed to have extraordinary powers. It was awesome! she asked. When asked if they would go back, most everyone agreed that they would. Janet Copses said, The whole trip was memorable, and I will probably go back soon.

I'm so embarrassed; my mother's a teacher.” What am I going to do? My father's the principal. Do these phrases sound familiar to you? Well, these are some of the expected cries of the infamous principal’s son or the teacher's daughter. There are a a few of these poor creatures roaming the halls of Spartan High. However, many of these students claim to have no embarrassment whatsoever. Anne Patterson, daughter of Dr. Harold Patterson, District 7 Superintendent, claims not to be bothered by this at all. She remarked. It’s been this way for so long that I'm just indifferent to it.” Other students felt that their parents were concerned about them, and could watch over them at school. A few even claimed that they felt they had certain advangates. Cynthia Spieth, daughter of Mrs. Landra Spieth, math teacher, says, Having your mother at school comes in handy when you forget to get papers signed.” On the other hand, most students felt they were treated no differently from any other student. I hope I'm equal to all other students. said Shannon Delaney, daughter of our principal, Mr. Joe Delaney. My father says he’s the principal at school and father at home. When these students were asked about the difference in their parents' attitudes toward grades, many said it was no different. It would be the same if she worked anywhere else,” exclaimed Chuck Cunningham, son of Mrs. Ada Cunningham, one of the librarians. Many people say they would sympathize with these students. but these students seem to have grown accustomed to having their parents at school. Hayley Ward, daughter of Buddy Ward, bus administrator and Sylvia Ward, cafeteria worker, says, ”1 make my own grades and I'm treated as equally as other students.” Even though they take it in their stride, being a son or daughter of a teacher, principal. or administrator can be tough. You must learn how to deal with it and be patient, even when someone says something negative. In all cases, it was agreed that the positives outweighed the negatives. Having a parent looking over his shoulder each day is no problem for Todd Gettys, whose father is assistant principal Mr Bob Gettys. 212 Sophomores Weather permitting, you can always find students eating outside the cafeteria area These two students are enjoying the frest air and sunshine during their lunch break. Enjoying a much needed moment of relaxation, a group of students uses the front steps during lunch period to talk and study.

Some say talent: some say intellect. Catherine Jones, a senior at SHS, is overflowing with talent. She is in the school art program and music program. Catherine started music eight years ago. She plays the violin, and she is in the symphony and chamber orchestras. She said she had been interested in music as a child, but she doesn’t think she will pursue a career in music. Although I may try to get into the orchestra in the city where I will live, she added. Art is Catherine s first love. I started drawing as soon as I could pick up a pencil, quips Catherine. She's taken art in school since elementary school. At Boyd Elementary, she was in the gifted art class and she has been winning awards ever since. She has won numerous awards including 1st place and an honorable mention in the state fair, Gold Key Medal and Blue Ribbon Finalist in the Scholastic Art Award Exhibits and 1st and 2nd place at the Piedmont Interstate Fair. Catherine also attended Governor's School for the Arts at Furman University. She said that it is five weeks of intensive study that teaches you the concepts to do more than you can already do. Being a finalist in the Fourth District Con- gressional Art Competition and a winner in the Governor's Celebration of the Arts, Catherine feels that Governor's School helped her and was a major asset to her art so far. Finding ideas for a painting could be a problem for some. But Catherine said her ideas come from her head or from things that she appreciates. I express myself through the ideas of my paintings, exclaimed Catherine. However, these ideas are never finished. I keep building on the subject trying to reach perfection, but that is never possible.” She felt she was fortunate to go to this school because of the excellent art department and the encour- agement. To show her appre ciation to Mr. Delaney, Cather ine painted his portrait. She de cided to give it to him because of all of his help. In her after-school hours, she works at Pizazz. At Pizazz, Catherine paints the neat little things you see in there. She said it's not the same as art at school because everything was the same basic design. Cather ine said she’s not sure whether she will become a professional artist or go into an art career, but she will continue her art even if it is just for herself.

These are the words of Liz Stretcher, who along with Ken Yager swam in Junior Nationals in mid August in Indianapolis. This annual event brings together qualified, competitive, teenage swimmers from across the nation. Never in their wildest imagination did Liz or Ken dream that they would ever swim in a national meet. Ken was in a state of disbelief when he was told he had the times to compete. Liz, who swam in a national meet last summer felt that the excitement doesn’t hit you until you get there. Big Time was Ken Yager's expression when questioned about his nervousness over the meet. Although the idea of swimming in Junior Nationals seemed scary, both agreed the actual swimming was the best part of the meet. Swimmers, such as Liz and Ken, must have the determination and discipline to achieve. This determination has set them to a goal of continuing competitive swimming after high school. Although neither Ken Yager nor Liz Stretcher won any ribbons for the events in which they swam, swimming in a national swim meet was reward in itself. Preparing for a swim meet.

Being named one of eighty model high schools, Spartanburg High School has a lot to be proud of. One the many great things pointed out was the well trained staff. To get this kind of recognition we had to have top chairmen of each department devising a well rounded academic curriculum. Our wishes are to see the students of SHS avail themselves of all the opportunities available, remarked Mrs. Peggy Thomas, chairman of the Business department. Although everyone knows what teachers' jobs consist of, few know what is expected of the department chairmen. The When not directing a school chorus or ensemble. Mr. Tom Wine finds time to participate in Theatre Spartanburg. This is a scene from Joseph and his Technicolor Coat. Senior Hugh Hayes appeared in this musical also FHA Advisor, and Home Economics Department chairman Mrs. Mildred Wright demonstrates how to prepare appetizers at one of their monthly meetings. without ’em main tasks include providing a link between faculty and administration, supervising the budget, coordinating activities, and observing the teachers in their departments. Each department chairman is chosen or elected by the members in their department. Their terms end at different times depending on when elect ed, but are for two years. Chairmen receive no addi tional pay for these responsibilities. They have no homeroom and do have a period for departmental work. Much more time than allowed is necessary to handle their tasks. Without their efforts, smooth functioning of departments would be impossible. Faculty 221 MRS. BETTY DAVIS Industrial Sewing — Daniel Morgan. MR.

Well there is no answer for all teachers, but we discovered two of them, Mr. Randy Mahaf-fey and Mr. John Wolfe. During the summer on the dates of July 15 and July 16, Mr. Ma haffey and Mr. Wolfe played at the Spartanburg County Golf Tournament at Lan Yair Country Club. The two men have played in the tournament since the tournament’s origin. When asked why they entered the tournament, Mr. Mahaffey said he liked this tournament because it attracts 220 of Spartanburg's finest golfers. He also said he enjoys playing against some of the best golfers in the county and renewing old golfing friendships. Mr. Wolfe simply said he likes the competition. Both men seem to enjoy playing golf. This is not the only golf tournament either men have ever been in. They both have been in the Bob Cousey Invitational in Santee. S.C. Mr. Wolfe has placed second in this particular tournament before. Mr. Mahaf fey, on the other hand, has won this tournament five times. When asked if either like to play professional golf. Mr. Ma haffey said. yes. but teaching golf would be more satisfying to me . Discussing their careers on the golf course brings smiles to Mr Bubba Wolfe and Mr Randy Mahaffey. MRS. HELEN W.

There was no need for the loss of all those lives. says Jon Barker. Most students felt the same way towards the airplane incident. On September 1. 1983. a Russian fighter plane shot down a Korean Airlines passenger plane There were no survivors Many different emotions were expressed by students. Students like Eddy Moore expressed themselves, What can you say? It's pretty bad! It goes along the same trend of the Russians invading Poland. They are not concerned as to how others nations look at them. For one student, there was a more personal effect. A close friend of Hyunna Lee. a senior, was killed in the bombing. Hyunna was devas tated and could not believe that it happened She said. The bombing of the Korean Airline flight over Soviet waters just devastated me. I couldn't believe that in this day and time human massacres could oc cur. Who are we to blame? Why did they do it? What's going to happen Incidents like this really get people thinking of what does the future hold. I mean, if 250 people, inno cent people, can be killed traveling to their home country, who knows what can happen? Right now I don't feel anything but hurt; I don't blame anyone. I don't hate anyone.

Gaskins COMMUNITY Open House Gives New Meaning To PTA When the word PTA was mentioned. moans and groans could be heard from all around Things like monotonous”, boring , and time consuming came to mind. But at SHS, PTA was different be cause of something called Open House Held each semester, these evenings gave parents a chance to meet their children's teachers, thus establishing the Parent Teacher part of the Parent Teacher Association. Parents learned about their students' grades, class attitude, and ’work habits. This was much more effective than the conventional roll-call, student-count, and min-utes-read version. Parents are much more willing and eager to go to PTA if they are going to learn something when they get there. Said one parent. It causes an over all understanding between parent, teacher, and student. Ultimately. PTA open house was the best method of getting messages from teach er across to parents. Catherine Hall, a junior, had this to say about PTA It's very informative. ROLEX (XWX)RIX (XHjj-xrnoN O OMEGA The Jewelry Professionals 1064 E MAIN ST • SPARTANBURG.

When you hear the words Booster Club, you think of spirit! Well, along with raising spirit, the Booster Club did many other things. They paid for the football programs to be printed as well as sold the ads. They paid for the football players' meals be fore each game. They raised money for their activities and projects through memberships, the biggest fund raiser. This money was spread evenly to all the athletic teams. When teams needed things, their representatives which were picked by each coach, contacted the club and made them aware of their needs. One example was supplying Ga-torade for the cross country meets. They also sponsored students for various activities such as North-South Volleyball All Stars, and players' and cheerleaders' tickets to the football banquet. Booster Club president Jerry Taylor. Sr. became interested when his son Eddie ran Cross Country. He along with the membership of about 175-200 people got together before the school year and planned their goals for the year and held elections for offices. All in all. what the Booster Club is. is a group of interested people that helped the athletes when the school could not provide for their needs. In the words of Coach Fred Kyzer. It's an example of above and beyond the call of duty.’ Getting ready for the Irmo game, varsity players wait for the coach's instructions. Cheerleaders prepare a sign for the run through.

For some it meant more freedom, nearing the end of high school, getting jobs, planning for college, and even getting married. Legal. Legal. Legal . when one thought of “18” that was probably the most common word that came to mind. There are three basic American rights that come to 18 year olds: draft sign up voter registration, and the purchase and consumption of beer. All three of these rights were taken in a different light by different people. As for as draft was concerned, it was a mixed bag. Amy Shead felt it was fine to drafted at 18. but that only those out of school should be called to duty unless there was serious emergency. Ken Yager felt that an 18 year old s mind was “too inexperienced mentally to handle war. Opinions also differed on voter registration. Most students thought age 18 was appropriate, although a few felt people were more mature at 21 and would make better choices. Amy Shead said. It really doesn’t matter starting with age 18 on up because those who are interested, no matter what age. will vote; and those not particularly interested won't vote. Students were much more in agreement about drinking at age 18. Many argued that raising the legal to 21 would not help alcohol abuse as long as it remains so easy for minors, even junior high students, to buy alcohol. All students agreed that turning 18 was an important step because new freedoms and privileges also meant new responsibilities. 96 Daniel Morgan Ave Spartanburg.

With over 600 teachers, parents, and students in attendance, only standing room remained available to hear the following speak on alco holism in young people: Chief of Police W.C. Bain. Principal Joe De laney. County Coroner Steve Lan ford. Alcohol Drug Abuse Com mission representative Thom Seymour. City Councilman James Tal ley. Judge Laney. and a student panel from area high schools. The audience gave a standing ovation to a Converse College freshman. who related her experience with addiction to the drug speed and the trial of withdrawal. Mr. Joe Delaney and Mr. James Talley also received cheers for pointing out that not all teenagers are bad. and the importance of recognizing good behavior. By the use of statistics and personal accounts. Mr. Steve Lanford and Mr Thom Seymour stressed the need to stop the drinking epidemic. Following the program, the audience was allowed to ask questions. At this point the various opinions held by students and parents be came apparent. Many questions were asked about the authority the SPWC assumes. Senior Woody Lay inquired about the recent Herald Journal new spa per article You (SPWC) speak of not interfering in our parties, but you say if you hear about a party you will call the parents to find out who is coming, what will be served, and other questions. That does not sound like non interference to me. Another controversial opinion came from senior Rex Russell. Par ents need to view alcohol in a softer perspective. Quit putting up all those barriers; that only makes it more appealing. The speakers asserted that they did not think lower ing the drinking age would improve the situation. SPWC President Judy Longshore had suggested support for raising the drinking age above 18. Luke Wilburn. Student Body Treasurer, won support from the students for saying, At SHS. the students respect you for what you do. drink or not drink. We don't have as much peer pressure as you seem to think. The SPWC appeared pleased with the meeting considering their 250 member increase. Meantime, students remained undecided about their supporting the organization. At the PWC town meeting. County Coroner Steve Landlord shows a slide ol a suicide note written by a fifteen year old boy hooked on speed. Lan ford also talked about alcohol and drug related car accidents.

Why? Thin sheets of ice covered bridges, high ways, and roads on Friday. January 13th causing school cancelations and delays not only in Spartanburg but in most of the surrounding area. However, since the ice wasn't visible in the trees, it wasn't until most buses were on the roads that the icy conditions became evident. The result was confusion, chaos, and up set parents. Cinder Operation Snowshoe. each of the seven school districts within the county talk with each other, evaluate the situation, and decide whether or not to delay or cancel school. In the past, this decision was made before 6:15. not only to keep the buses idle, but to allow the faculty and staff to stay off the roads and out of possible danger However, on the 13th. the decision to initiate a delay of school was not made until 7:00. well after the time the buses started running. This caused teachers to report to school BETA to supervise incoming students. By 10:00. school was canceled and students already at district schools were held until roads were deemed safe enough to warrent running of the buses. While the teachers used the lost day for in service, anxious students waited for their bus home. The buses ran again around 12:30, in time to have most students home by 2:00. In an effort to prevent another fiasco like the one above, all the superintendents of the county schools met to tighten and re-for-mulate the factors necessary for the implementation of Snowshoe. Dr. Harold Patterson, in an article in the January 14. 1984 issue of the Spartanburg Herald Journal, outlined a plan by District 7 to send Operation Snowshoe game plans to all parents as well as use parents to assist bus drivers in letting them know of any cancellations. In this way. not only will school be called off earlier since phone lines will not be tied up by the calls of parents.

Within the first week of its grand opening, the store had violated a state law. commonly known as the Blue Law. Soon local stores, out of protest, also opened on Sunday, thus violat ing the same laws broken by Wac camaw. One reason for the open ings, which included half of the city's businesses, was the begin ning of Christmas rush. Many shop pers responded favorably to the opening since, for many, this was their only day off. These stores were violating the law and the city did nothing to stop them. There were a few arrests but the charges were dropped soon after. The laws were not considered enforcable because of a lack of man power on the city's police force. The Spartanburg Herald Journal was full of editorials on both sides of the issue. One of the candidates for the up-coming election for sher rif made enforcement of the Blue Laws a major campaign promise. The state legislature began to consider a reevaluation of the state's Blue Laws. Many of those supporting the opening of stores on Sunday pointed out that on any Sunday, one could make the short drive to North Carolina, where stores may open on Sundays, and find more South Carolina cars in the parking lots than North Carolina cars. They point out that South Carolinians are going to shop on Sunday anyway and felt the revenue should stay in SC WESTGATE MALL 574-1300 Black History Club United we stand; divided we fail 262 Ads ■ The Z Team are “Z” Champs J Ads 263 r Homeroom 12-78 Brian Booxer.
