SHS students are accustomed to taking pictures, buying yearbooks during orientation. To help welcome new and transfer students. the Student Advisory Council provided a luncheon during orientation. The new project will continue as new students appreicated the hospitality. Helping students is just one of the responsibi-ties teachers have.

Life at SHS is ’’CONSTANTLY CHANGING!” On June 22, the South Carolina State Legislature passed Governor Richard Riley’s Educational Improvement Act of 1984. The set of laws looked to increase academic standards, strengthen student discipline and attendance, and provide a more effective use of classroom learning time.” You shouldn’t be in high school if you can’t make the basic requirements. Sophomore Lee Mewshaw stated his thoughts on the change from one required math and science credit for graduation to two each for all incoming classes. Part of the Educational Improvement Act says, To participate in interscholastic activities, students must pass at least four academic courses.” Junior Emelia Gauthier believed this a necessary requirement because clubs are privileges and they should be for those people that have proved themselves responsible.” Quinn McCallister felt that the change in the number of absences gives justice to the people who lay out of school, yet it is unfair to those who really get sick.” The new school attendance law provides for only five absences per semester before a student loses credit. The Educational Improvement Act limits the number of school duty absences to twelve per year. Senior Craig Russell thought, It will cut down on participation because it involves clubs, orchestra, band, chorus, sports activities, SAC, and even class field trips.” The new law requires at least six hours of instruction each day which added an extra five minutes to each class period. Derrick Pierce supported this because it adds up to 900 minutes longer in each class a year, and you can learn a lot in 900 minutes.” Opening 3 With picking up her schedule. Hallie Dennis realizes that summer's over. Margaret McGee and Randy Orders help with the distribution of schedules. An ID is required of all students at SHS. Sacrificing part of their summer.

Many summer hours of a band student's life are devoted to perfecting new marching routines. 4 Opemng is : 'E'LirirLl |i .= = ==-=-=-=_=_=_== = =======1=1?= ==¥ = == == ====| = =| = ; The required six instructional hours per day eliminated the traditional time for in-school pep rallies. The loss of pep rallies removed the thrill of school spirit that the Student Advisory Council worked so hard to build up in recent years. A concerned senior felt that pep rallies get the student body together as a whole and psyched up for the games.” The Educational Improvement Act states, The school year for all students shall be 180 days of instruction.” Thus ended Spartan High’s tradition that seniors not attend classes during the last week of the school year. The new laws also prevented keeping the tradition of a half day for Homecoming. In addition, the customary parade on the afternoon of Homecoming and the judging of theme related costumes during lunch break had to be abolished. At the start of the school year, many questions concerning the new laws were still unanswered. A clear definition of whether a class assignment done outside the building in that class period was classwork or school duty was not outlined. Traditionally seniors had been exempt from second semester exams. Seniors began the year still wondering if they would take exams. A half day for all students during exams had been as SHS rule. The exam schedule was still undetermined as students were well into the first semester. In the past, one of the first things each student received at the beginning of each year was a student handbook stating all schools rules, team schedules, clubs and organizations, and a schedule of events. Uncertain of the details of the Educational Improvement Act, it was impossible for school administration to have one printed for the start of the '84-’85 year. In addition to the changes mandated by law, there were thirty new faculty and staff persons who were doing their best to learn all about life at SHS. One thing was certain, however. Principals, faculty, staff, and students were committed to having another outstanding year. In a year when things were Constantly Changing.” the dedication of everyone toward quality in education, sports, and extra-curricular activities remained constant. Opening 5 It was the best of times, these changing times, for student life. We fussed, fumed, complained, and fretted, but soon found it was not the end of the world, just the beginning. Rushing to the games fifteen minutes earlier to cheer, Let’s get a little bit R-O-W-D-Y.” a shorter time in homeroom to cram in last minute studying putting the final touches on Homecoming floats a day early cracking the books to make a 2.5 average to stay in Senior Study Hall less chance to gossip about Who’s dating whom?” during class change. These adjustments, necessary under the South Carolina Education Improvement Act, made student life at SHS a CONSTANTLY CHANGING scene. Attending football games is one of the many aspects of student life at SHS. Fans unleashed their enthusiasm and support as the Vikes defeated the Broome Centurions. 13-6. 6 Student Life Division Student Life Division 7 Europe's older cities and narrow roads are scenic, but they are a challenge for pedestrian tourists and automobile drivers alike in Dinkelsbrehl. West Ger many. Touring the Dachau Concentration Camp, where more than 31,000 person were murdered, brought to mind history lessons of the horrors of World War II. A reception honoring the Viking Band allowed the musicians to relax after their 3 00 P.M. concert in Vire. France. Students had the opportunity to talk informally with the city’s dignitaries. Paris’s famous Jardin du Luxembourg was the setting of the band's first European concert on June 5. Hundreds of Parisians sat under the trees and enjoyed their music. One of retiring band director James Smith's last chances to conduct the Viking Band was at their outdoor performance at Kasser. West Germany. 8 Band Tour Mountain scenery and centuries old architecture, like the Castle Nymphenburg along Germany’s Rhine River, caught band members' attention wherever they traveled. Music — a universal language While most high school students were lying out in the sun. the band was visiting the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, and Germany on a twenty-three day European tour. Singer for the group was Meredith Thomason. She sang Flashdance” and the medley from The Sound of Music. When asked about the trip, Meredith said she thought is was best going with the band, becaused it was a planned out trip. She was with her friends and making new friends. She stated, Band members became closer and more independent because we were on our own. Sometimes there was a problem communicating. but Senior Mark Anthony said he and his commrads learned a little German. French. Swiss, and Fresian. He claimed that he had to re-learn English when he got home! While the students were in Buitenpost, Netherlands, they stayed with families. Buitenpost is a small community, so everyone was within walking distance. Band members became closer and more independent because we were on our own. Guy Evans said. It was a great experience. He also said if he could go back he would visit Zermatt, Switzerland because he thought it was the most beautiful place they stayed. Tracy Hubbard would like to revisit the Eiffel Tower and tour Paris. She spent most of her free time shopping, and her biggest problem was running out of certain kinds of money. Band members thought they played well, and everyone had a feeling of pride. Mark Anthony said he felt the most pride when the band played in St. Lo as part of the D-Day celebration. French President Mitterland attended the ceremonies. When asked if he would ever go back, Mark Anthony's reply was, Give me a ticket and I’ll be gone!!” He stated that. The band and Orchestra are fulfilling important functions by going overseas and meeting with other people and cultures. We can make lasting friendships and try to understand why a certain nation will react a certain way.” The evening concert at Schrannensaal in Dinkels buehl. West Germany, included The Gallant Seventh” featuring the trumpet section. Band Tour 9 This towering cathedral, with its intricate design and stained glass windows, exemplifies the beauty of European architecture. Students marveled at buildings dating back thousands of years. The ■’efficient” van of Mr. Richard Fowler received many hard glances from passers-by. It must have been a funny sight bumper stickers plastered on the back, thirteen people stuffed inside. This horse-drawn taxi was typical of many that at tracted tourists on the scenic streets of England. The Alps in Switzerland were a favorite sight. This magnificent view of the contrast between the snow-capped mountain and the grass-covered one was a common sight during students' stay with the Swiss. Europe's magnificent architecture, unlike anything to be found in the U.S.. treated students and other tourists to one spectacular sight after another. This is the Opera House in Paris. 10 European Trip The Eiffel Tower is only one of the major sights seen in Paris. The Arc de Triomphe. the Champs Elysees. and the Notre Dame Cathedral were also highlights of the group's tour. The seven mile hike down the Swiss Alps was a strenuous event for Mr. Richard Fowler’s group. Bryan Goldman felt the icy water of a river near where the group rested after their ordeal. Switzerland remembered for beauty Horse-meat pate, luke warm ale on a hot day. 8 hours of sightseeing inside the small Brussels airport . . . sound exciting? Ask anyone who traveled with Mr. Richard Fowler, and he will tell you, Yes! Everything about the trip to France, Switzerland. and England was excellent! It was almost unanimous that Switzerland was the most beautiful place visited in Europe. Suzanne Smiley said. The scenery was unbeatable! I have never seen anything as beautiful as the snow-capped Alps with the lake down below and the little Chateaux that dot the hillsides.” Petra Meyer thought the best thing about the trip was simply being able to travel around. The weather was excellent during the group's stay in Europe from June 7 to July I. The only problem was Mr. Fowler’s van. Anne Louis Allen commented that she lost count of how many times the bus broke down!” The French drink a lot of wine and beer, smoke a lot. and do not bathe too often.” Chris Harmon enjoyed the ferry ride across the English Channel; he won $65 from a slot machine while crossing. Charles Weed noted the cultural differences. Besides the language barrier and the headaches caused from trying to come up with French vocabulary words, there was no cold water, and no ice. The French drink a lot of wine and beer, smoke a lot, and do not bathe too often! Ashley Macfie, as well as most of the group, enjoyed the stay with the French family, and thought it was a great learning experience. Julie Wagner had fun navigating the Metro. In Kathy Moore’s words, It was shocking to see Julie jump the turnstile and our chaperone trying to do the same thing, with Petre and me following directly behind!” Bryan Goldman enjoyed the beverages in the cold stream in Switzerland and the district” that Mr. Fowler showed only to the boys. Paris was exciting with the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe. and the cathedrals. Europe is definitely an exciting place and as Charles said, If I could go back. I wouldn’t change anything about the way we toured Europe.” European Trip ll Spending the summer on the go Hawaii, California, Las Vegas. New York, and Toronto were among the exciting places students travelled to over the summer. Everywhere students travelled, they met new and exciting people. Julie Anderson had a chance to go to Boston with her family. I did not think there would be too many different types of people like there are in New York. I was wrong; we saw several punk rockers.” The people in Boston thought that Julie and her family were awkward in their speaking. Every time we opened our mouths, people asked us if we were from the South. We got a kick out of it.” Joe Raffo and Steve Emmerth went to California. Joe toured Beverly Hills and Universal Studios where he saw the A-Team.” Of Mr. T. Joe said, He was BIG.” Steve went with his family to San Francisco. His favorite place was Fisherman’s Wharf. Other favorite sights were Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. It took me half an hour to walk the Golden Gate, and the whole time the bridge was swaying.” Every time we opened our mouths, people asked us if we were from the South. Leslie Weaver went to Las Vegas to visit her sister. While there she saw the rock groups Air Supply, the Beach Boys, and also Diana Ross. A favorite place was Venice Beach. That’s where they would roller skate and play volleyball.” She was impressed with the lights in downtown Vegas. They were just amazing.” Ginna Wilkes went to Hawaii with a native Hawaiian. One of the best times was spending the night on the beach with people who lived in a tent and listening for the 'sacred spirits’ who walk the beach at night.” Cathie Jeffers visited Toronto where her father attended a Sertoma Club convention. Her complaints: Canadians drive like maniacs, and I thought the city was dirty.” She did enjoy Ontario Place which is something like Disney World. Kayaking down the Green. Nanthahala, and French Broad Rivers was the summer’s highlight for Hunter Coleman. A friend got Hunter interested in the sport. He took lessons to learn how to paddle and navigate a Kayak.

She enjoyed the sights and beautiful weather while visiting Harrington Sound. Bermuda for two weeks in August. Roller coasters at Carrowinds and other amusement parks were an attraction for students. With Carrowinds so close to Spartanburg, they visited often. Over the summer, seniors were busy with the responsibilities of becoming a senior. Steve Chapman has his senior protrait taken by Bryn Alan photographer Mr. Malcolm Peckler. A popular vacation spot was the EPCOT Center at Walt Disney World in Orlando. Florida. A laser light and fireworks show set to music is the finale of each day's activities. Ever wonder what happens to all of that gum you stick under your desk? Custodians have to spend hours each summer cleaning up after thoughtless students.

Viking cheerleaders Courtney Smith. Paula Booker, and Kim Poteat rouse our school spirit at the pre-game pep rally held before the Broome game. The main objective of a cheerleader is to raise our school spirit. Varsity Football Cheerleader Paula Booker leads the crowd in a favorite chant. Defense was a key factor in the Varsity’s success on the field. The defensive line tries to keep Broome from making a first down. I4 First Home Game Victory always best at home Final score: Vikes 13. Broome 6. The opening home game win against a team that had beaten us during the last two seasons was particularly sweet. As a whole, the varsity team played better ball, with fewer errors, and had the home fans there to cheer them on. This was their third contest but the first chance to perform for the hometown crowd. Loyal Viking fans had an earlier fight for prime parking spaces. Pep rallies, that in the past had been held at school on games days, were scheduled for the half hour prior to kickoff. The first pep rally used to be students’ chance to hear introductions of each varsity player and cheerleader. Creative and usually raucous skits were performed to encourage school spirit. Game night pep rallies necessitated a change in activities. Team members were unavailable as they were going over last minute strategies in the locker room. Many players and cheerleaders felt cheated of the recognition they felt they would have received by being introduced to the student body. Cheerleaders had planned routines over the summer that they were unable to put to use. Team spirit is high, and we’re looking to a winning season.’’ Kim Poteat. captain of the varsity football cheerleaders, added; We were really looking forward to the pep rallies as our chance to help motivate spirit, teach new cheers, and show support for the football players. Controversy also surrounded the school's use of Wofford's Snyder Field for all home games. For the past several years, game tickets have included an extra dollar for a fund to build a stadium near the high school. In July, the District Seven Board of Trustees voted against the construction of such a stadium. Mrs. Peggy Romine, a trustee, said of this decision. People who lived in the surrounding area mounted a tremendous campaign against construction of a stadium adjacent to the high school. Despite all of this, Mr. Jack Carlisle, a member of the SHS Booster Club, felt that under the leadership of new athletic director and head coach Allen Sitterle, Team spirit is high, and we’re looking to a winning season.” Paying close attention to the game, ball girls Kim Hammet. Niki Kyzer, and Hayley Ward must always be prepared to run onto the field. They are responsible for keeping game balls dry and available.

What does one have to make on the SAT? What is the required GPR? These and many more are answered as one makes the big decision about college. To help students in deciding where they want to apply and what to major in, the guidance department sponsored the annual College Night” on October 2. Over 100 college representatives attended this event to talk to students about their respective schools and their choices of majors. Over 800 students came and found it be most helpful in their decisions on where and how to apply. College Night has occured once every year for over thirty years. It was started by Miss Lillian Grant, who was Director of Guidance during the 1950's. It has been very successful every year since then. Many students said that coming to College Night helped them to decide which college was the best suited for their particular needs. Lydia Fryml said it helped her get a better idea of what to major in. Since students can wander from table to table, they often discover colleges that they have never heard of.” Ken Cox said, The representatives were helpful in answering questions about majors and switching majors.” The faculty and guidance counselors also felt that College Night was helpful to students. Mr. Tom Moore Craig, current Director of Guidance, said, Since students can wander from table to table, they often discover colleges that they have never heard of.” Many students talked to several college representatives-, some talked to as many as fifteen. The colleges that proved to be the most popular with students were Clemson. Wofford. USC. and USCS. Clemson and USC even had areas of their own because of the large number of students that talk to them every year. Because of the great number of students who attended. College Night was labeled a big success. Its contribution to helping students make decisions, get information for admissions and financial aid. and its popularity with students, parents. teachers, and guidance faculty guarantee its continuing as an annual event. 18 College Night On College Night.

College Night I9 Vikings go a little bit country Flannel shirts, straw hats, cowbells, and painted-on freckles: these were the sights seen on Friday, October 12. This day was the setting for the 1984 Farmers’ Day. Farmers’ Day was designed to raise school spirit among the faculty and student body in preparation for the annual Spartan High-Dorman football game. Students and staff were encouraged to dress like Dorman farmers. Walking through the halls, one could have witnessed spirited teachers and students showing their enthusiasm by dressing in different varations of farmers’ clothing. All of this show may have been great fun, but the purpose was to prepare our team for the big team game. Spartanburg fans travelled across town to support the Vikes as they took on our rival, Dorman High School. The day’s activities must have paid off� The game was great!! It was worth the trouble of coming across town and fighting the crowds ' the Vikings beat the Cavaliers 34-28 in a double overtime thriller. Amy Nixon, a senior said. The game was great!! It was worth the trouble of coming across town and fighting the crowds. Although the Vikes have the lead in wins over the years, this is one game that can be won by either team during any given year. Regardless of each team’s record. so much emotion is involved that picking the winner is never a sure thing. More Viking fans than usual were on hand to watch the 1984 battle, and every fan got more than his money’s worth in excitement. The Vikes had led most of the game, but fell behind 7 points in the fourth quarter. With two minutes left. Vikings fans were beginning to get tense. The first overtime ended in another tie. and it wasn't until the second overtime that the Vikes held Dorman scoreless and scored a touchdown to secure the victory. 20 Farmer Day Jubliant as the Vikes score to put the game into overtime, team members celebrate.

The band performs at almost every school assembly during the school year and provides musical programs for fans at the football games. Spirit: only the beginning Spirit was the key word for the assembly held on Thursday, October 30. 1984. Under the new South Carolina Education Improvement Act, only four assemblies can be held per year — the Spirit Assembly, the Christmas Assembly, Black History Assembly, and Honors’ Day. Senior Connie Cox felt assemblies serve a good purpose, so why should we only be allowed four?” Sabrina Earnhardt agreed, and said, Assemblies help us gain a sense of pride and spirit for our school. I enjoyed all the musical groups. They were all fantastic ' With the Education Improvement Act, the tradition of senior class assemblies has been eliminated. Senior class SAC representative Bill Turrentine regretted this and observed. Besides graduation night, its the only time the senior class could be together.” The Spirit Assembly began as the students filed into the gym — seniors in the front, juniors in the middle, and sophomores in the rear. Leisa Carruth, a senior, stated. I had a front row seat! It was great!” The SHS symphony, chorus, the Corporation,” and the Viking Band performed. Susan Wall remarked, I enjoyed all the musical groups. They were all fantastic!” At the close of the Spirit Assembly, the Student Advisory Council did skits to announce that Commercials” was the 1984 Homecoming theme.

Monday was Jersey Day, and Tuesday was Blue and Gold Day. Students dressed up to show their spirit and support of the Mighty Vikings. Thursday was class day. The Seniors looked like a band of hoodlums since they wore sunglasses and bandanas. The juniors wore sweatshirts, and the sophomores wore t-shirts with sports coats. It cannot be said that Spartanburg High has no SPIRIT! Spirit Spots were also sold during the Homecoming week. According to Mr. Larry Moore, the money has gone to Student Council in the past. This year, however, the money went into separate accounts for the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The seniors sold the most spirit spots for Homecoming '84! The sophomores came in second and juniors third. The seniors sold the most spirit spots for Homecoming ’84. In addition, the different homerooms showed their spirit by decorating their doors pertaining to the theme Commercials.” Each of the members of the winning homeroom received a free ticket to the following home game.

Juniors and seniors had a hard time believing they lost, but the sophomores’ hard work paid off. Even though these seniors gave it their all. they proved to be no match for the awesome juniors, who won the tug-a-war. The class games at the Homecoming bonfire gave SHS students a chance to prove who was really the best. 26 Homecoming Full of spirit, these excited juniors show their support of Homecoming ’84.

The senior team did win two other events. cont’d Homecoming New time, new place, unidentified rolling objects, and marching musical instruments . . these things made up the Homecoming Parade on Thursday evening. They helped create the spirit for the games and bonfire that followed. In a change of parade route, the floats and cars assembled at Jesse Boyd Elementary School. It ended at the Spartan High band practice field where the bonfire was held. April Mabry thought the parade was too rushed. I didn’t get into it as much.” Paige Waldrep also thought there would have been more spirit if we had gotten out of school early. The sophomore class float won first place, the juniors’ second, and the seniors’ float came in third. The sophomore theme was L'Eggo My Eggo-L’Eggo My Football. Coleman Edmunds said. I guess we deserved to win ... a lot of work went into that float.” Richard Carr said he went to the float building every day to play a little football.” There was a tie in the club float competition. Anchor, whose theme was Pepsi: The Choice of a New Generation.” shared the first place honor with the National Art Honor Society. Bonfire games included the caterpillar, the sack race, and the dizzy-wizzy as well as the tug-of-war and the pyramid. I guess we deserved to win a lot of work went into that float ' Dawn Edwards signed up for the dizzy-wizzy and the caterpiller because she thought the school had lost its school spirit and needed my athletic ability.” Scott Ward's favorite event was the tug-of-war between all three classes and the faculty. This gave all classes a feeling of pride. The crowd was really super and spirited.” The seniors and sophomores tied in the over-all competition for the games. Irene Trakas said. This is an unbiased opinion, but it is undoubtedly evident that the seniors dominated by showing the most spirit at the parade, the bonfire games, and in the selling of spirit spots.” The seniors won the Dizzy Wizzy and the caterpillar race-, sophomores won the sack race and the pyramid; juniors won the tug-of-war. The faculty team was at least consistent, coming in last in every competition. The bonfire was a spirit booster. Rhonda Mills unfortunately felt that. The people at the bonfire didn’t get into the full spirit of things.” However, according to Scott Ward. This year’s bonfire had more excitement than last year’s because of the large crowd and a higher level of enthusiasm.” „ Homecoming 27 cont'd Homecoming From human pancake boxes and little Mikeys” to beauties on the football field. Homecoming was definitely a very special day. Friday, October 19. 1984, began at school with the students dressed to represent different commercials. Manus Caldwell said he dressed up for Costume Day to show good school spirit and to show that there is more to high school than rules and regulations. Many other people thought the theme Commercials presented many good ideas for costumes. After school, people began preparing for the game. Russell Smith said. I go to most of the home games, but I especially wanted to go to the Homecoming game because of the half time activities. Football team members Joe Jones and Bryan Hammond both agreed that this game was special simply because it was Homecoming and because of their big win over Dorman the previous week. Varsity cheerleader Suzanne Onge-mach thought the JV cheerleaders did an excellent job. All seven Varsity cheerleaders were unable to cheer during the first half since they were Homecoming candidates. She said, It was a good chance for them to cheer before a large crowd.” Homecoming Queen represents the students of the senior class and of Spartan High, and I thank them for giving me this opportunity and honor.” The band added a great deal of spirit to the whole affair, too. In addition to marching in the parade, they played for the Homecoming Queen candidates. The 1984 Homecoming Queen. Amy Nixon, was announced at half time. Amy said. Homecoming Queen represents the students of the senior class and of Spartan High, and I thank them for giving me this opportunity and honor. Amy’s sponsor, Tom Mahaffey. said he would like to have been more involved in the activities revolving around the Homecoming Queen, but that it just was not possible. Although players nominate the candidates, they are busy in the locker room at half-time when the queen is announced. Many players did not find out who the queen was until after the game. Kelly Pinson and Patrice Linder were chosen as the Honor Attendants. They were both very excited and honored to be awarded this title. 38 Homecoming Dressed up for the Homecoming game.

Homecoming 29 Long hours of hard work go into every Homecoming float. Participation in such projects is another way of demonstrating one's school spirit. Daryl Cunningham gets an assist from Beth Glasgow while constructing the senior float. Costumes on dress-up days and spirit ribbons on game days are signs of school spirited students. Paula Booker and Frances Brice prove they qualify as such. Marching in the Homecoming parade and attending the bonfire that followed gave school spirited students the chance to cheer for their class team and the football team. Students have no monopoly on school spirit. Guidance counselor Mr. Bubba Wolfe goes for a win in the sack race. He competed on the faculty team at the Homecoming bonfire. Creating spirit signs for all athletic events means giving time, creativity, and often getting sore knees. This SOSH member puts his school spirit to constructive use by painting a sign. Balloons were sold during Homecoming week and were carried to show support for the Mighty Vikings.

SAGA Opinion Poll: School Spirit What Is It? Is It Important? Farmer's Day is mocking the cross-town rivals. This events takes place on the day of the Dorman football game. Mr. Wyatt McDaniel adds the final touch to his Farmer's Day” costume. It is pride in our school; it can make coming to school more enjoyable. School spirit IS important, but it doesn’t exist at SHS. With the new rules, school spirit has died. How CAN we have school spirit when coming to school feels like going to prison? — Melanie Stuart, senior It is pride in one’s school. It is important to promote excellence in one’s work and in sports. — Zander Fretwell, junior It is the togetherness of all the people who support the teams of SHS. It means enthusiasm and loyalty. It is important because it gets everyone excited and helps teams to victory. — Leslie Ansaldo, junior It is the thing that holds a school together. It is taking pride in your school and backing it up with everything you’ve got! It is more important than anyone knows. It is the one thing that can hold different people together in one school. — Becky Ross, junior It’s an explosion” on the inside of you of joy. love, and most of all pride that is shown throughout an entire year and that makes a society sit up and take notice of what a model school really is. It is what makes school worth attending, especially when this spirit is shared by students and teachers. — Daniel Goodwin, junior To me school spirit is for people to get together and have lots of enthusiasm for a sport or any other school activity. We should all participate as a whole. I am disappointed at pep rallies when more people cheer for individual classes in the class competition than do for the event or team we are all there to support. Sometimes we forget that we are all there to cheer for the same thing. — Mike Clyburn, sophomore To me school spirit is the building block of the school. It is the togetherness that you feel at a game whether your teams wins or loses. It is the love you have for your school no matter what happens. Without this spirit a school would not have the strength or courage to go on when things get rough. — Tammy Byrd, sophomore School Spirit 31 It’s great, but never long enough Lunch was one of the few things that had not changed. The new state laws did not affect lunch except that lunch was not allowed to run into fifth period. Although some students felt that the lunch periods were not nearly long enough for students to eat leisurely and still have time to socialize, most agreed jit was not worth extending the already lengthened day to provide more time. Besides eating and socializing, lunch was also a time for doing homework. Senior Penny Mitterling commented, Lunch is a good time for me to complete homework I didn't do the night before.” Lunch is fun although not long enough to blow your nose ' Although the school provided three different lunch lines, all for the same price, many students brought their own lunches. This gave them a few extra minutes they didn’t need to spend standing in line. Also the picky” eaters didn’t have to eat from the typical school menu even though they could choose a hot lunch, a bag lunch, or a salad. Senior Suzanne Smiley said, ”1 have never eaten the cafeteria food at Spartan High, and I don't plan to start at this point.” The opinion of many students was summed us by Shannon Delaney who said. Lunch is fun although not long enough to blow your nose.” When the sun is out and the air is warm, lots of SHS Eating outside. Scooter and Gary Boyd enjoy h students enjoy eating outside.

Lunch seems to be a favorite time for these fights. Mr. Fred Kyzer pulls a participant away from trouble. Sorting utensils after lunch, a cafeteria cook gets everything back in order. Cafeteria workers work hard to provide a tasty lunch for students every day. SHS provides a well balanced lunch for students. It is a student’s choice whether to take the hot plate lunch, the bag lunch, or a salad. These students wait to be served a hot lunch. Lunch is a time for eating, relaxing, and catching up on the latest gossip. Leisa Carruth and Nicky Jent even find some time to eat and study during their 30 minute lunch period. Lunch is a break from classes and books. Students gather with their friends to find out what happened during the first part of the day and decide what they will do when the dismissal bell sounds. Caroline Gowdy and Tracy Wilson gossip while they eat. A time of caring and sharing Could it really have been Santa Claus? Yes! Each homeroom at Spartan High played the role of good ole’ Saint Nick to a special child at Christmas. Each one was given a different child’s name along with its wish list” and clothing size so that more children could have a Merry Christmas!” Most homerooms collected money from the students and let their homeroom president buy the gifts. Craig Russell stated. We raised money with a lot of help from Mrs. Marks. She is a great homeroom teacher.” Clubs carried out Christmas activities as well. Civinettes caroled for the patients at the Shriner’s Hospital, helped Mobile Meals with stocking stuffers.” and held a Christmas Alumni Reunion at Jane Taylor’s home. They also attended a party at Cannon Manor where the retarded citizens put on a play for them. As Anna Hardi-gree expressed, Our Christmas projects make me feel great. It’s nice to share with the community Interact. Civinettes. Anchor, and Key also helped the American Lung Association by wrapping gifts at Hillcrest. In addition. Interact went caroling with Anchor to Archibald Rutledge Apartments where many seniors citizens live. I enjoyed seeing Mr. Delaney smile for the first time as he watched the skit. Anchor was involved in service projects during the Christmas season. They held a party with Key for deaf and blind children at Cedar Springs. Elizabeth Haas found doing such things very rewarding.” Anchor also made boxes for Christmas cards for SHS students and held an alumni tea. Leslie Hammett said. Our projects have really helped bring the Christmas spirit out of me. and it makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something by helping those less fortunate than myself.” Jim Ammons. Key. also felt It is rewarding to do services for people.” Key helped serve at a Greek convention and helped distribute groceries for the underprivileged. SAC raised money for the Mental Health Association. They raised about 5400 by holding a bowling tournament and taking pledges. Students felt the Christmas Assembly was outstanding. although they missed the Christmas tree that usually is the center for homeroom gifts. The performance of the drama department was especially amusing, and the chorus and orchestra were excellent. Jimmy Hillard thought it was the best assembly ever,” and Lora Sizemore said. The skit was great. Grant Tate said. I enjoyed seeing Mr. Delaney smile for the first time as he watched the skit. Homeroom officers are responsible for wrapping Christmas presents for the needy children. Terrte Mcfclrath puts the finishing touches on a present for her homeroom child. 34 Christmas CW of the privileges of being homeroom president is the honor of putting the Christmas presents with all the others at the Christmas assembly. Even after being brutally chopped by a fireman. John Duncan came to school. Mr. Jay Jeter yells at him in ISS for moaning in pain when only silence is allowed. Giving gifts to needy children is a major part of the Christmas season at SHS. Courtney Uhler and Davis Gilmer had the opportunity to put together a big wheel for a homeroom's child. Many would agree that the performance given by the Drama Club was the most enjoyable play seen at Spartan High. John Brunelli. with his unequaled portrayal of our principal. Joseph Delaney, performed with Michael Brown as Santa Claus. The Drama Club enlisted the help of some teachers for their Christmas skit. After the student revolt, teachers spent time in ISS; Chris Hodge is explaining the behavior rules. Using his break dancing abilities. Andre McCullough helps Tim Lawson perform a difficult move. Break dancing proved to be a big hit with students and faculty alike. Christmas 35 While rehearsing Magic Changes”, fcrika Augthun and John Duncan clap their hands to the beat. The songs are one of the reasons why Grease has stayed so popular for many years. During a rehearsal of Grease, cast members Rrenda White (Marty) and John McKinney (Vince Fontaine) act out an important scene. Mike Brown had the lead role of Danny Zuko. During a scene from Grease, cast members gather around to hear what Kenneth Floyd (Doody) has to say. Grease has a large cast of characters as well as good rock and roll music. Signing up to be a stage manager. John Brunelli pre pares to help with the production of the musical Grease. This is the first musical that SHS has in recent years. Being lifted into the air by Andy Brown (Sonny) creates an expression of surprise and delight for fellow cast member fcrika Augthun (Patty). In the musical, vigorous dance scenes mean being in tip top shape is important. Performing a scene from the musical Grease, cast members Chris Kendrick (Kenickie) and Meg Flughey (Rizzo) smile and embrace as part of the scene. Besides being a musical. Grease is also a love story. 36 Grease Taking his singing and dancing seriously. Kenneth Floyd (Doody) leads cast members Andy Brown (Sonny). Chris Kendrick (Kenickie). and John Duncan (Eugene) in Magic Chances”. 50 ’5 era comes alive The 50's ... a time for dancing, rock and roll, racy cars, ducktail haircuts, drive-ins. and pegged pants. Good times? The people in Grease thought so, and with good reason. Grease is a 50's musical set in a high school complete with teenage gangs, teeny hoppers, and rock and roll. The play was presented March 7-9 at the auditorium in the Evans Human Resource Center and was a combined effort between the drama and vocal music departments. To win a part in the play, everyone who was interested had to sing a solo in front of drama coach Mrs. Rita Acosta and choral director Mr. Tom Wine-, if the student passed that, he had an acting audition. Asked if she felt confident about getting a part, Brenda White, who portrayed Marty, replied, I had no idea which part I would get, but I was glad I got the part I did.” I had no idea which part I would get. but I was glad I got the part I did.” Once the students received parts, they rehearsed for two to three hours every Monday through Thursday night for a period of two months, with an occasional two hour Saturday rehearsal. All of this hard work and effort put into the play was one of the reasons the cast and crew members felt confident that Grease would be a success. Performances proved them right. Many of the cast and crew members of Grease enjoyed working on the play and planned to continue in theatre after their high school years were over. Assistant director Jodi Irwin said that she planned to major in theatre production and design in college. Also Mike Brown, who played Danny Zuko, the main character in Grease, said that he planned to study theatre and music in college. While members of ihe cast, director Mr. Tom Wine listens and observes how the musical is developing. Although there was a lot of rehearsing, the musical was very successful and the practice paid off.

It's probably trying to get something done while there is a constant flow of students and teachers through the area. All athletic teams depend upon their trainers and equipment managers to make sure everything, including the first aid kit. is ready and easily available at game time. Getting ready for a girls' basketball game is no exception. Trying to keep track of all the seniors and keep them on the straight and narrow” is part of the job that Mrs. Kathy Smith gets involved in each day. Much time is spent on the phone checking on absent students and dismissals. Behind every successful athletic team is usually at least one player who is injured before the season really gets going. This didn't stop Charlie Bobo from being on hand during practice to lend his moral support. All teams depend on carefully recorded statistics to help them improve their play and plan their strategies. This statistician for the JV Basketball team has to concentrate on a lot more than the score during a game. Some one has to introduce the girls’ basketball team members and coaches to the crowd and then keep an accurate record of scoring, fouls, ets. during the game. This year's squad was lucky to have Tracy Wilson volunteer for the task. 42 Heroes Who must sit in the booth while the excitement is on the football field or basketball court? Mr. Chris White sells basketball tickets (pictured) and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blackburn sell football. What is the biggest group of behind the scenes heroes at SHS? It's the students, of course, like these seniors who got stuck sitting on the hard gym floor in order to watch the Christmas assembly. Behind the scenes heroes Have you ever taken the time to look around and thank the people at SHS who make life a little brighter? These people do the little things that make life great such as bringing forgotten lunches to classes, keeping the school clean, helping athletic teams, anywhere behind the scenes these heroes lurk. These people may be students, teachers, secretaries, or custodians, but each should be recognized. For example, did you tell the last matt maid or basketball score-keeper ”Hey — great job!” Most likely not. Margaret McGee and Hallie Dennis are the two matt maids for the wrestling team. They perform many duties from ’’peeling oranges to cheering.” However, according to Margaret, recognition was not the reason she took her job. We just have a blast helping the guys and giving them support.” Tracy Wilson, the girls’ basketball scorekeeper felt similarly saying that. The girls on the team share with me and make me feel I am a part of the team, and that is credit enough for me.” The girls on the team share with me and make me feel I am a part of the team, and that is credit enough for me.” Some other people who perform great services are secretaries. Two secretaries that come into contact with many people at Spartan High are Mrs. Clarke Brannon, the guidance secretary, and Mrs. Wilhel-menia Johnson, the main office secretary. Both agreed that they have a lot to do, but it makes their jobs interesting. According to Mrs. Brannon, ”1 enjoy working with the kids-, they help make my job fun.” Mrs. Johnson felt that seeing students in trouble was the worst part of her job. Students that are in trouble usually come through the main office to see Mr. Delaney, and I just wish I could help them somehow.” Heroes 43 Behind the scenes” cleaning up after messy students and keeping the buildings in tip top shape is a dedicated and hard working custodial staff whose job never ends in the fight to keep SHS sparkling. continued . . . Heroes Custodians do a lot for SHS too! One custodian. Ethel McCurdy, has worked at SHS for thirteen years. Mrs. McCurdy is in charge of keeping the guidance and office areas clean. Another custodian is Geoge Olley. He works forty hours a week Monday through Friday. Both are very hardworking, and with the help of other behind the scenes heroes help keep the school in model condition. Perhaps, one of the biggest behind the scenes heroes is student Khamsay Ouan-keo. According to one teacher. Khansay is ' a sharp fellow.” Other teachers praise him too. Peraps his hero-like qualities can be best described by a teacher who respected him enough to turn in his name for consideration as an outstanding senior. We thank you all for making SHS a better place for all of us. She wrote. Please consider Khamsay. He arrived in the United States only four years ago. His parents were killed during the Vietnam War. He made all A's last year and exhibited art work. He supprts himself by working at a restaurant every night. He doesn't have time to join clubs or particiapte in sports because of his job. He is truly outstanding in his academic work and in his behavior. Many teachers probably do not know him. but he deserves recognition for his adaptation to American life, his efforts to succeed, and his ability in school.” People such as Khamsay and others are truly heroes. We thank you all for making SHS a better place for all of usll Who makes sure all those movies and TV shows can be seen in English, science, and social studies classrooms? This mammoth scheduling and executing task is the job of Mrs. Kay Blackwell in the ITV center located in the library. 44 Heroes Students are heroes, too. every time they attend an athletic event, buy a program to support the team, or wear a spirit ribbon showing their Viking allegiance. Keeping an accurate score and efficiently running the clock at basketball games is a responsibility taken by student volunteers. Jackie Briggs keeps score for the JV basketball team. Serving nutritious lunches to hungry and often impatient and demanding students is the daily task of the cafeteria staff. The cafeteria offers a variety of lunches each day. Serving lunches to over XCO people a day is no easy task. Clean up is no small job. but this cafeteria worker doesn't seem to be letting her job get her down. Each summer, a new Viking sign mysteriously appears on the pep rally area cement. Who is responsible? Check this out by reading the questions in the Trivial Pursuit of Viking Lore.” Parents make up the biggest group of behind the scenes heroes. Our great athletic teams, scholarship accomplishments, and extra curricular activities would not be possible without the work and support of parents and the community. Heroes 45 A big hit each year is the Black History Club s talent show. The first show was held in the chorus room, but the size of the crowd dictated moving to the gymnasium for the next year's performances. NASA astronaut Dr. Ronald McNair was guest speaker at the Black History Assembly on Febru ary II. McNair urged students to avoid drugs and to set high goals. Singing the background music for the Black History Club's skit for the Black History Week assembly were members of the club including Tami Young. Robin Henderson, and Pamela Carree.

A we honoring the past During the week of Feburary 11-15. the Black History Club held events in honor Black History Month. One of these events was an assembly held February II. The purpose of the assembly is to commemorate the memory of famous and hardworking Black Americans. This year’s theme 'From Slaveship to Spaceship.’ shows just how far we’ve come,” stated club member Edwina Peeler. Appropriately enough, the guest speaker was Dr. Ronald E. McNair. NASA astronaut. Dr. McNair is from Lake City, South Carolina. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics from North Carolina A T State University in 1971 and a Doctor of Philosophy in Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976. In January of 1978, he was selected as an astronaut for NASA. On February 3, 1984. he became the first black astronaut on a shuttle mission. The purpose of the assembly is to commemorate the memory of famous and hard-working Black Americans ' During his talk, McNair encouraged the students not to become slaves” to drugs. In his words. There are slave ships still available with plenty of bad seats to be had.” He also urged the students to Decide early and set your goals and sights high, and never take your eyes off of them.” The assembly also considered of a skit presented by the Black History Club with various members portraying some famous Black Americans such as W.E.B. Dubois. Booker T. Washington, and Martin Luther King. Jr. Overall, the assembly was one of the best I’ve seen. It really motivated me to do my best to achieve my goals.” stated Doris Frazier. Friday, the Black History Club held a Talent Show open to all students at SHS. The Talent Show is an annual event whose purpose is to show that students can do more than shoot a basketball or kick a football,” explained Edwina Peeler. There were many talented students that participated this year. Admission into the Talent Show was fifty cents. This money goes into a scholarship to a well-deserved college-bound student. The student must be an active member of the Black History Club and show academic and leadership potential. Black History Week 47 With the knowledge that lecture material will show up on future tests, students pay close attention to what is being said. Attentiveness during lectures is a survival” technique in all academic courses. Mrs. Fran Racine's AP U.S. History class listens to the details of the American Revolution. Improvement Act. This law added an extra math and science credit to graduate, eliminated traditional half days for exams, and required six hours of instruction for each day. Through these laws, academics at SHS are CONSTANTLY CHANGING and moving toward excellence in education. Being a sophomore is bad enough, but I gotta take an extra Math and Science course Can’t start cramming for that English exam until three o’clock the afternoon before I just can’t stand an extra five minutes of lecture about the French Revolution These were the academic adjustments SHS students had to make under the South Carolina Education 48 Classes Division Classes Division, 49 With strict concentration.

DMVC administration and staff felt there were more students who would benefit from their programs. In an attempt to make SHS teachers and guidance personnel more familiar with new and revised vocational courses, the SHS staff attended a halfday inservice program at the DMVC on August 17. Each area at the DMVC presented information on courses and tours of the facilities. New courses such as Building and Grounds Maintenance were described. The staff felt better able to advise students about vocational courses after the program. An interesting and informative program by the Cosmetology Department presented facts on the best and worst hair and skin products currently on the market. DMVC students stated that most of their knowledge of vocational courses came from classmates who had taken courses. The job placement help available at the conclusion of each program was regarded as one of the best reasons for being a DMVC student. Tony Earle was pleased with his experiences at Daniel Morgan. It prepares me for a job later in life. The course called 'Making It Work' gives helfpul hints for looking for a job.” Ronald McCluney agreed that Making It Work was beneficial. He said he enrolled at DMVC because. It offers a wider variety of courses that will aid you in the real world.” Adolpho Williams enjoyed his first year in Brick Masonry enough to enroll for a second. I enjoy learning, and it feels good to learn new skills for the future.” Being a part of the student body at two different schools does cause some problems for DMVC students, but all agreed that the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages. Using a drill press requires knowledge, skill, and attention to safety rules. Having passed his safety test. Michael Jones exercises extreme caution while working in the machine shop at Daniel Morgan. Taking every precaution. Henry Crawford wears all of his protective gear.

Vocational. 51 A key to the future Many students graduate without realizing all the business opportunities that S.H.S. has to offer its students. For example. did you know that you can graduate with a degree in business? Approximately six to seven hundred people enrolled in business classes. Of these students, five to ten percent go on to become certified” by the state. This means the state recognizes a skill in one of three areas; accounting, general clerical. or stenography. Basically, in order to become certified a student must complete eight semesters of specified business courses. Although the requirements are basically the same, the reasons why students take the courses vary immensely. One student. Michelle Boone, is taking business courses to help her find a job and aid her in becoming a certified public accountant. Another. Charlette Means, is using her business certification to help find, when she graduates, a job that will financially aid her in college. There are also a number of students who miss the cut off for a degree. One such student is Brian Hermanson; I felt it was more important for me to get just courses that I need, instead of taking the ones I required for the degree. I plan on becoming a sports doctor and feel many business courses will help me better to prepare for the future.” Whether taking business courses for college or the business world, the courses and degrees offered should be considered by any student who could benefit from the many opportunities the business department provides. Hurrying to finish her work before the bell. Sheri Tyus dilligently writes down typing rules to aid her with her typing skills. Typing is practical for now and for the future. In hopes of attaining her goal as a certified public accountant. Michelle Boone studies in accounting class. Michelle is working toward certification in business before she graduates. Talking to her class. Mrs. Patti Chapman stresses the importance of good advertising techniques. All students involved in Advertising have the opportunity to be members of DECA. 52 Business Courses As one who chose not to work toward a business degree. Brian Hermanson concentrates on his accounting to aid in his effort to be a sports doctor. Students take business courses for other reasons than a business career. Business Law helps students learn about good business ethics and the proper way to run a business. Here. Anki Gunay asks Mrs. Peggy Thomas a question about the day’s work. While in Business Law. senior Mark Griffin takes notes from his textbook material. Having the right notes is important if one wants to do well on a test. Answering a question. Mrs. Lela Stancil helps a student post entries in her ledger account. Mrs. Stancil teaches Accounting I. which enables students to understand basic principles. Business Courses 53 Checking her work for errors. Kathy Bolton realizes this is one of the few times she is able to look at her work. Typing students are usually not allowed to look at their hands while typing their assignments. Business courses are helpful for everyday and future use. Realizing this. Doug Bishop takes Computer Operations at DMVC. The class concentrates on business applications of computer technology. 54 Everyday Use Devoting her attention to finishing her assignment for the day. Audrey Sims types a business letter as one of her assignments in Intensified Business Occupations at Daniel Morgan. There are many business courses designed to better prepare students for jobs in the real” world. Learning skills for the future. Pam Salters uses the adding machine in Intensified Business Occupations. Handling present tasks Have you ever thought how business courses can help in everyday use? If you can’t whip up your final copies of term papers in a couple of hours, balance your checkbook, or run a computer, a business course might be helpful. Many courses at SHS can teach things that will help students now, as well as later. This is a common reason that some students take business courses. Tracy Burgess commented. I took typing because I think it will help me with papers I have to write now. It never hurts your grade to have a neatly typed copy to hand in, and in some courses typed research papers are required. It will also save me a lot of time and money in col- Practicing their sales techniques in Advertising and Salesmanship. Andre McCullough and Wayne Tanner take turns portraying the salesperson and the customer in a clothing store. The course is part of the Distributive Education program. lege. Other business courses are also helpful. For example, shorthand can aid students with note taking during lectures, and accounting is helpful in keeping checkbooks balanced. Solid business practices are just as important in managing personal finances as they are in business. Data processing will benefit almost anyone in this time of personal computers. Part-time jobs are easier to find for the students who has data processing and or typing skills. Business law can be just as useful to the consumer as it is to the business person. As our society becomes more complex, business know-how will always be of value. Although Business Law is an elective, it is taken seriously by the students enrolled. Leigh Vaughan pays careful attention to Mrs. Peggy Thomas’s lecture on the rights of employees under SC law. Typing II and Speed Typing are courses available to students who wish to perfect their typing skills beyond the first year s work. Gail Barrett works to finish one of her advanced typing assignments. Although typing class is a lot of work. Kelly Young and Mrs. Betty Roberson take some time to laugh and enjoy the day's lesson. Mrs. Roberson teaches typing and data processing. Everyday Use 55 How much does it help? Groans, moans, and other strange noises were the outcomes when a teacher mentioned. Let’s take notes”, or OK. I’m going to lecture now.” No one seemed to realize how much they really help. I do get off on tangents, but it brings out the points I want to emphasize. If you’re listening in class and have the major points. I would expect you to do well on a test over that material. Miss Jodi Davis, an English teacher, replied. When taking notes, some students wrote down only the main facts and some went into great detail by using outlines. Those who went to great detail usually only studied by their notes. The book and their major facts were used by those that just wrote down main facts. I write down what the teacher says and usually go into great detail, but I'm not an organized person, senior Yolanda Pearson replied. Falling asleep during-lectures didn’t help grades on tests that much either. Most students said the lectures they lis- tened to were a necessity to passing tests. There were even those who admitted they should have paid attention and listened. Although some were very boring and seemed to be useless for the subject, there was still a reason for the teacher’s planning the lecture. I feel some lectures help a lot. but some teachers go on forever about nothing.” said Tony Earle, a senior. Interesting or not, lecture information seemed to have a way of appearing again on major tests. The classes that involved note taking and lectures most seemed to be English and Economics. They are also used in the other basic four subjects, science and mathematics, but not as much as English and history. Students sometimes found copying boards covered with notes or listening closely enough to take good notes disagreeable; they still had to admit notes were useful and one of the survival techniques of any class. Listening to a class lecture is just as important as taking notes. Junior Terrie Hagler listens to Mrs. Fran Racine's AP U.S. History lecture on the effects of the American Revolution. In order to do well on Mr. George Fain's AP European History tests, it is important to have the right notes from the lectures. Students Mandy Turner and Lydia Fryml jot down facts about the Medieval Period. Using his class lecture notes to complete an in-class assignment. Robert Ranks discovers the importance of accurate, well-organized note taking. During 3n AP History class. Cathie Jeffers takes notes while listening to Mr. George Fain. The course allows students to get a more in-depth study of European history and possibly college credit. 56 Lectures. Note Taking Note taking, one of the fundamental methods of recording facts and information, is a skill that is invaluable when it comes time to prepare for a test. Nathaniel Mills illustrates the first important element in taking notes — listening. Making sure to pay attention and capture every detail and instruction given. Katherine McCutchen is intent with the discussion taking place in Mr. Randy Mahaffey's physics class. Pure concentration is needed for comprehension of the material. With the addition of one more year of required science, more students take biology. Mrs. Wanda Cromer discusses with her class the previous day’s reading assignment. Grading papers is apparently not getting down Mr. Tom Wine as he works on a stack of tests given to his music theory class. It's not just students who would sometimes like to eliminate tests. Having finished a lecture point. Mrs. Fran Racine gives her students the opportunity to ask questions. Asking questions enables students to better understand lecture material presented in class. To some people, biology seems to be difficult and involve many hours of hard work. Charles Jeffers seems to be having no trouble as he prepares to ask a question about the lecture information. Lectures. Note Taking 57 5-S lab Biology is the study of all living things. Models and labs are part of each biology course and help students grasp a great mass of knowledge. Anne Williams seems to be enioying her study of a model of the human skull. labs are a major part of chemistry class. David kinard mixes solutions in a test tube in order to observe the reaction. Close attention to detail is necessarv to the successful completion of any experiment. Scientific minded students have the opportunity for more lab experiences through their participation in the Delta Pi Science Club. These club members par ticipate in an after-school lab conducted by a guest speaker from Wofford CoBege. Physics does not involve as much hands-on experience as some other science courses. Mr. Randv Mahatrev explains a problem relating to gravity before he begins a class demonstration tn his phvsics class. Biology involves the fascinating study of thing under a microscope. Examining a slide closely. Steve Prewitt participates m a lab experiment m Mrs. Maxine Moore's Biology LA class. Blow-outs i What are interesting and usually a fun part of school? Students who have taken or are taking a science course know the answer is science labs. The three basic science courses are chemistry, physics and biology, which all involve some laboratory work. Older students get more involved in their labs if they are taking A.P. courses, but labs are helpful and fun for everyone. Senior Linda Fasig said she believed the purpose of science labs is to demonstrate the facts that you are studying so you don't have to simply accept them.” Science labs also help people to understand science better. As Randy Orders stated, Labs help you understand why or how the laws of science can be true. Although each lab is different, everyone seemed to enjoy them. Junior Liz Stretcher said about labs. They make n A-wing science more interesting and practical when you see first hand what you can do or figure out with it. Chemistry and biology involve more hands-on experience” than physics because physics contains more demonstrations by the teacher. Chemistry and biology. therefore, can take interesting twists in class. Perhaps the best illustration of this is Mr. Steve Jeffords’s experience when he was a student at Spartan High participating in the Summer Science Program. Some students performed an unauthorized experiment while Mr. Jeffords watched. An explosion occured which blew the windows out in A-wing and hospitalized Mr. Jeffords with third degree burns. Science is fun. but it may also be dangerous if people fool around in class. Carefully mixing a chemical solution together. Kelly Mitchell stirs as Leslie Muzzy times the reaction rate. They are members of Mr. Steve Jeffords's chemistry class. Each year a Clem son visitor explains what a chemistry major invokes. Charles Spann and Anthony Law hon conduct the experiment that fotowed the Clemson demonstration. Labs 59 Some students give their time after school in hopes of receiving more knowledge for the upcoming SAT test. Since the SAT is so important for getting into most colleges. Kim Underwood takes advantage of the math help sessions. Giving each other help. Charlotte Griffin. Carol Terrell. and Lori West study their history. Students often find studying together can make studying go faster and accomplish more. Assignments, homework, and studying for tests can really take their toll. Cindy Poole relaxes at the end of a particularly hard day. No one ever promised that getting an education would be an easy task. English as a Second Language students spend some of their time working on reading assignments in Language Arts and other subjects as well. Khamsay Ouankeo spends some available class time reading from his literature book. Industrious and conscientious students study wherever and whenever possible. Kris Corbett finds the hallway a good place to work on Spanish. The only danger may be being trampled by a hoard of students. 60 A$signment$. Homework. Tests Better things to do ”1 left it at home ' I left it in my locker. My dog ate it. I didn’t have time to do it. I was sick.” I went out of town.” These are just a few of the excuses teachers claimed they heard over and over again. Research papers, essays, and science projects are some of the special assignments students had this year. Stated junior Greg Womick, Sometimes these assignments are interesting, but I think teachers forget we have other classes and only so much time.” Students spend anywhere from thirty minutes to three hours on homework each night. Said one junior. I have trouble concentrating and sometimes end up having to wait until homeroom to study for a test.” Students seemed to like to study in the library. Converse, Wofford, Spartan High, and the public library were all mentioned as quiet places to study. Although a few students felt much of their homework was busywork, senior Brooks Holbrooks said, It tends to be worthwhile when I do it. If I don't do it. I get left behind.” The new rules have also left their mark on tests taken by seniors. Commented senior Jeff Giannone, The only regret that I have about my senior year is that I have to take final exams at the end of the year. You can’t force students to learn, but the administration seems to think final exams will do just that.” The importance of homework and tests is pointed out by sophomore Bobby Pugh, Homework and tests are important. Skills and knowledge are gained by homework. Tests simply check to see how much you have learned.” Study halls were used, by those lucky enough to have them, for studying, socializing. and recreational reading. Senior Jennifer Lestage said, I have two study halls. I do all my written assignments in there and study for tests at home.” Typical of the comments about how the new rules from the state legislature affected their studies was one from Brooks Holbrook. They haven’t really affected my studies that much, but they have affected the way I feel about school.” Another thing students were resigned to was that no matter what; homework, assignments, and tests would always be a part of the school scene. Bag lunches and biology arc both important to Lisa Johnson and Kim Arnold during lunch. Students find lunch a convenient time to spend on last minute cramming before a test. Sharing a book. Ronald McCluney and Leslie McCraw listen while another classmate reads aloud. The Language Arts curriculum stresses oral as well as silent reading skills. Assignments. Homework. Tests 61 ■ f I Time slips up on you without having facts handed to you on a silver platter. Many of the students said the public library and SHS library as well as local college libraries contain an abundance of materials such as encyclopedias, reference books, and magazines to meet their needs. As to the benefit of research papers, Trip Payne had this to say, I guess, they are beneficial because they stimulate independent thought and research.” As for immediate relevence, I really can’t see how a paper on a famous person that lived in the past could be important in a future career.” stated Chad Pack. Before you decide to put off the next research paper for just one more day, remember one student's advice, To get a good grade, a lot of time and hard work will have to go into your paper, and this can’t really be accomplished overnight.” Showing His typing skill. Richie Sanders prepares the final copy of his research paper. Donna Sellars and Jennifer Alston admire his ability. A typed research paper is business-like. 2 A.M. . Hundreds of paper balls clutter the floor. The goal is to finish the research paper that is due first period. It was assigned six weeks ago. but you forgot about it. Now you have just six hours before it must be turned in. Why did you wait so late to start? The time just sneaks up on me, and before I realize it, it is time to turn it in,” stated Melanie Holt. Teachers give you several weeks to turn it in and most of the time, after the first week. I just forgot about it,” agreed Chad Pack. Some research papers count half of a six weeks grade or even more. Why so much? Karen Kelly, a junior said. Teachers do it as reward or punishment for effort and organization as well as how much thinking we did our own.” Added Junior Trip Payne, Teachers feel that the best indication of your ability is to see how much you can do on your own. Assisting her students with their work. Mrs. Jackie Blackburn gives Melinda Bright and Brenda White some ideas for their research papers. The proper procedure is important when gathering information. Assistance is sometimes needed when using the library. Here. Diane Hardy gets some help from Mrs. Esther Martin, the head librarian. Students are lucky to have the willing help of the entire library staff. Taking notes for her paper. Shalanna Waters tries to write as many ideas down as she can. Note-taking and recording bibliography information are important first steps in preparing a research paper. 62 Research Searching through her many possible sources. Charlene Means strives to collect as much information as possible for her paper. Accurate and complete information must be gathered before a research paper can be written. Endless hours are spent reading when doing a research paper. Jamey Amick and Scott Ward compare articles they have located in the reference section of the library. Searching a book. Velma Peeler gathers research information. Since most research papers are a major part of a semester grade, students are wise not to wait until the last minute to take down notes. Hard at work. Patty Cooke and Jamie McKinney strive to get their research notes in organized fashion. Although the number varies, several sources are always required for a research project. Research 63 The new editor of the school newspaper. Sandy Staggs, spends much time working on The Norse News. He has changed the style since last year's paper; he hopes to improve its quality even more. Not only is pottery making a way to express creative talents, but the products can prove to be useful. Here Sharon Lewis takes pride in her creation as she smooths out the clay. Looking over his work. Teddy Baker works The Norse News typewriter. The paper requires much outside work in addition to the class time devoted to it during the school day. Musically inclined students find Mr. Tom Wine's course in music theory gives them a greater appreciation of the history of music. Veneta Harakas finishes an assignment in order to prepare for a test. 64 Creative Talents Creativity is exposed Talent, creativity, dedication . . . these words typify students involved in drama, art, and the school newspaper. These qualities are also apparent in people who take shop and architectural or mechanical drafting. Participation in these areas is both time consuming and rewarding. According to Mike Brown. Productions by the drama department involve joint efforts on the part of the orchestra and shop. Participating in drama gives people the opportunity to discover their talents and cultivate them. More Spartan High students are taking art now than in the past. Nancy Price suggested. Everyone should take at least one art course because it makes them more aware of their surroundings. It causes them to take notice of even the smallest details around. Art classes offer experience in painting. drawing, sculpture, jewelry making, print making, and commercial art. Students learn to sketch and then paint from real life models. Jamie Sanders thinks. Art and drawing help you express your feelings. The Norse News affords students the opportunity to exercise their writing skills. Editor Sandy Staggs and his staff have changed the format and the style of the newspaper. Sandy thinks the paper's purpose should be to inform students of school news, to let students voice their opinions on subjects of interest, and to entertain. The photographers of the yearbook have big jobs requiring creativity. Regina Dillingham looks over one of her pictures. She not only takes the pictures, but she must also develop and print them. There are many different art classes offered. Sculpture class is one of the popular classes for those who like to create objects. Kim Blasius concentrates on a design for a sculpture. Creative students have displayed their work and won numerous art awards. Craig Norman is one of these students. Here. Craig creates a vase of his own design. Printmaking is another art class that offers an opportunity to create orignial works of art. Greg Tolbert seems pleased with the print he has just completed. Creative Talents 65 In sewing class, students develop a new hobby and a means to save money on clothing costs. Shirley Smith positions her pattern during home economics class. Many SHS students do not realize that there are talented students at Spartan High. The National Art Honor Society constructed this butterfly for the students to enjoy while walking down the hall, adding life to the otherwise dreary hall. keeping the clay in a bag is important so that it will not dry out. Here. Jodi Irwin carefully cuts a portion of this clay as she prepares to create a pottery object. 66 Creative Talents Creativity abounds Other students pursue their talents and interests in prevocational courses. According to Mr. Brady Cureton, these courses include General Woodworking, Power and Machine Tools, Introduction to Furniture, and Cabinet Making. He would like to see more students involved . even girls! Mr. Cureton explained. The importance of taking such shop classes is that students will be able to handle small repair jobs and to save money in their own homes.” Mr. Robert Sellars’s architectural drafting and mechanical drawing classes are a step in the right direction for any college-bound students who are not planning to major in liberal arts.” Kenny Pruitt said. These classes help people understand drawings so they can assemble ob- jects.” Students learn to draw plans of houses and machinery to scale,” according to Spencer Tolley. Prevocational classes teach practical skills to students as well as introduce the courses offered at the Daniel Morgan Vocational Center. Douglas Linder and Tammy Jones explained that the course covers diverse areas from cooking to brick laying to check writing. They both agreed this course helped give them direction for the future. Students enjoyed their involvement in these activities, and many hoped to go into the fields of drama, art. or journalism as their future careers. In addition, students prepared for their futures by taking shop, architectural and mechanical drafting, and prevocational courses. NORSE NEWS: Front Row: Kelly Young. Edwina Peeler. Sandy Staggs.

Tony Farr meticulously paints an art object for the school. Discussing several possibilities for art project. Debbie Hendrix and Mr. Tom Willis list some creative ideas. Creative Talents 67 Being a tremendous part of students' learning, lectures and notetaking help the student understand more of what the teacher says. Victor Glenn and James Batten listen carefully to what psychology teacher. Mrs. Dale Wright, is discussing. Some students who chose Spanish as one of their electives hoping that they will receive credit upon entering college. Mrs. Rosario Fernandez relates the importance of Spanish customs to her Spanish I class. Working on a French test. Audra Hayes tries to keep a smile on her face. Not matter what the course, students must take the inevitable tests. Being properly prepared helps make the task less painful. 68 Be tier Living The culture connection Such elective courses as psychology, sociology, and foreign languages are not suitable course choices for everyone. Students who are interested in broadening their studies of how people live and the languages of foreign countries do, however. enjoy these classes. If you can speak one language, why would you want to learn another? Nearly one-fourth of the student body should be able to answer this question because they take foreign language courses. Their reasons for taking foreign language classes vary, but it is agreed that Latin, German, French, and Spanish are difficult courses. Foreign language students must be sure to pay close attention to the teacher during the entire class period in order to keep up with the material. Tape record- ings and filmstrips are a familiar part of these classes. The students listen to the tape recordings for a better understanding of the language itself, and watch filmstrips in order to appreciate the foreign cultures. Junior Kristen Hiller stated her reason for taking French, I plan to go to Europe for the second time next year. I think that my eight years of French will help me in college, business, and traveling. Psychology and sociology are two other electives offered to students interested in humans and how they live. Students in these two courses study people in our culture as well as those of foreign cultures. Chris Kendrick said. Psychology is a great course. It is very interesting and it sure does help my G.P.R. Class demonstration is a vital part of psychology class. Here Mr. Foster demonstrates the difference between stero and mono to Tom Moua by playing his guitar while Tom uses the earphones. French is one of the many electives courses the SHS foreign language department offers. Steven Richie practices his pronunciation by reading aloud in Mrs. Billie Edmond's French class. Concentrating on Mrs. Olga Burtnett’s Spanish class. Dawn Edwards tries to finish before the bell rings. Students and teachers both agree that practice is very important in foreign language courses. Teachers at SHS spent a great deal of time grading their students' tests. Mrs. Olga Burtnett works on some papers from her Spanish students. Better Living 69 Students find they can save time and money by making household items in the Decorating the Home course. Here Diane Hardy concentrates on the design she wants in her hooked rug. Sewing allows students to work on a variety of practical projects. Tina Mack adds some final stitches to the apron she is making. Students in this course have the opportunity to make several projects of their choice. Ironing material is a must for April Wright before she cuts a pattern. Sewing is a practical course which enables students to have fun while learning valuable homemaking skills. On rainy days or during winter, gym classes choose a variety of indoor activities. Scott Hood and Den-nie Largent choose ping-pong as their P.E. activity. Carefully paying attention to every stitch. Juanita Lee-Bey finishes her rug hooking project. Decorating the Home is a good course for those interested in stichery. weaving, and rug hooking. 70 Better Living Life takes shape E Wing and M Wing may seem somewhat out of the way for those taking PE and Home Economics courses. Sophomore Tammy Kennedy didn’t seem to mind the walk to the gym because she said, I like gym; even if it weren’t required, I would take it because I think it is fun to keep in shape.” There were 15 different gym courses offered. These classes ranged from gymnastics to basketball to weight-training. Most PE students found it a pain to dress out everyday, but as one student said, I don’t want points off for not dressing out. Each student was required to pay a $2 fee and purchase a gym suit. Such classes as Single Living and Mar- ried Life were offered as electives for those students interested in better living. Katie Kirkwood said, I’m taking Single Living this semester because I think I will be able to use what I’m learning for the future. The two most important things I’ve learned are cooking and keeping a personal budget.” The Single Living course taught students how to cope with problems involved in independent living. Some students who took Single Living went on to take Married Life. Part of the Married Life course was participating in a model wedding and learning about the responsibilities that come with a marriage. Breakdancing may not be part of the P.E. curriculum, however it is a great way to keep in shape. These two students take advantage of the waxed gym floor to practice their moves. Being able to handle an iron is a must in Mrs. Mildred Wright’s sewing course. Sherry Smith is careful to iron out the creases in her current sewing project. Wrinkled projects are not acceptable at grade time. Part of the Married Life course is learning about recipes for cooking both economical and nutritious meals. Bonnie Jones and Oscar Means decide which dish they will prepare on their given budget.

Now they’ve entered school classrooms. SH5 offers several computers courses, and it is of no surprise to learn that students eagerlv seek registration for these classes. The classes offered include Computer Math. Pascal Programing. Data Processing. and AP Computer Science. The reasons students signed up for computer related classes varied. The most common reason, though, was to gain some knowledge of and experience with computers and how they worked. Laney king said. Tve never used a computer before. I thought it would be interesting and informative.” Another cause for the success of the computer classes W3S the hope of gaining some basic knowledge which would be useful in college. Senior Niki Kyzer said. ”1 might minor in computers during college. This is a great chance to get some practice which could be of use later.” Many students took a computer class to satisfy a sense of curosity about computers. Others just hoped for a different and fun class. Even teachers and administrators got into the act. Jay Jeter. Mr. Craig Shriver. Mrs. Mary Lindsay. Miss Marion Church, and Mr. Larry Moore took a computer math course at USCS. Mr. Greg Blanton. Mrs. Anne Arbuckle. Mrs. Billie Edmonds, and Mrs. Patti Chapman took a USCS course designed for classroom teachers of fields other than math.

School spirit is one of the many assets the band provides for the school and its student life. 74 Music Developing Practice . . . practice . . . practice . . . that is what it takes for any musical group if it wants to give outstanding performances and receive special awards. The three musical groups at SHS, the orchestra, band, and chorus took practice very seriously as they met before and after school to rehearse for any upcoming performance. The Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Bill Scott, demonstrated its committment to excellence by rehearsing at 7:30 A.M. until homeroom and again first period. This was a change from the 7:45 A.M. rehearsal time of last year. One might think that this early rehearsal would have hurt the orchestra, but according to Don Coe. It has helped because the players get more time to rehearse as a group. Among their concerts were a fall concert, a spring concert, and a Christmas concert along with the chorus. The Sym- musicians phony participated in the Spirit Assembly along with the band and chorus. One special highlight was the performance at the American Association of School Administrators convention in Dallas. Texas. They were the only orchestra outside the state of Texas to receive such a prestigious invitation. The Concert Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Paul Buyer, also demonstrated its committment to excellence by rehearsing during second period every day. They gave a fall concert, a spring concert, took several school tours, and participated in the Christmas Assembly as well. The Chamber Ensemble continued to rehearse and perform although the new rules did not allow them to play for as many holiday luncheons as in the past. They did perform for the Rotary and Lions Club and at dinner banquets throughout the year. QUINTET: Veneta Harakas. Cynthia Jones. Scott Yates. Brigitte Birk.

Well, one Saturday out of each month, the SAGA staff devoted to meeting the deadline. Together with the deadline Saturdays. SAGA met every day during sixth period and Wednesday evenings under the direction of adviser Mrs. Anne Arbuckle. Senior Cindy Reagan remarked. It's a lot of hard work to make SAGA the best, but it’s worth it. There’s nothing like seeing the first book when it arrives from the printer!” A SAGA member’s responsibility began in August with the selling of yearbooks for $25. and the taking of yearbook class pictures. Next, under the direction of business manager Steve Emmerth, members sold ad space to local businesses and school organizations to help finance the book. While the photographers, under the leadership of chief photographer Regina Dillingham, covered school activities through pictures-, the staff members, under Editor in Chief Avery Beeson’s direction. interviewed people, wrote copy, captioned pictures, and drew layouts. Senior Bonnie Sibert said. When I joined the SAGA staff, I thought it was going to be a big party. It is fun. but also a real challenge. This year the SAGA staff saw many changes. New staff members joined the experienced staff. The Education Improvement Act provided money for a computer and a new darkroom. Charlette Means stated, Working with the computer has been a real experience. I feel it was much easier than using the typewriter.” Editor Avery Beeson stated. The SAGA staff was composed of a great group of people working hard to create the best yearbook ever.” Deciding which pictures go into the yearbook is one of the difficult tasks of SAGA members. Paige Hucks. Bonnie Sibert. and Mandy Turner point out their choices for the Homecoming spread. Keeping track of hundreds of photos is a major problem. Photographer Tracy Wilson identifies the action and subjects in some of her prints. Business managers are essential to any type of organization.

Again this year the Girls’ Tennis Team won the state championship, the Boys’ Cross Country won the Region II 4A meet, and the Varsity Football team made it to state championship. With new team leadership each year and under the new Athletic Director Allen Sitterle, the SHS sports program continued to be CONSTANTLY CHANGING” victory after victory. Problems were anticipated with event scheduling because athletes had to watch the number of school duty days they were allowed under the new education act. However, things went smoothly, and the athletic program remained one of the strongest in the state. Against the Union Jellow Jackets. Clyde Norris runs back a kick-off for 93 yards and a touchdown. Norris’s long runs thrilled crowds all season, including a 90-yard kick-off return and score in the state championship game against Summerville. 80 Sports Division Sports Division SI Uarsity football Spirited Winners Team spirit may be the one thing members of the ’84 Viking football squad remember most. The season presented numerous challenges, and often divisive factors threatened team unity. Senior leadership was strong, and the closeness of team members kept them together. The season began with some controversey over the eligibility of quarterback Chip Ferguson whose family had moved from Charlotte. N.C. to Spartanburg following Coach Allen Sitterle. It wasn’t long, however, until fans turned their attention to the team’s development. Another challenge the team faced was getting emotionally ready for the big games. The two biggest Division 1 rivalries, Dorman and Gaffney, had to be played at the opponents’ stadiums. The Gaffney game, which ended the regular season. also determined the region championship and home field advantage for the playoffs. Team unity and spirit were evident on the sidelines at every game. Offensive and defensive players continually shouted encouragement to teammates on the field. Both big plays and mishaps were treated with positive attitudes. The Vikes accepted glories and defeats as a team. Two play-off games tested team spirit. The Rock Hill game began with play, both offensive and defensive, that made the Bearcats look like the superior team. The Vikes had the ball 5 plays in the first quarter, fumbled once, and gained a total of minus 7 yards. Said Coach Sitterle, I could see this coming all week. It’s hard enough getting a 17-year-old kid ready to play a team for the second time even if they beat them by just one point. The Vikes beat Rock Hill by 42 points in the regular season. Spirit and unity brought the team together in an effort that ended with a Viking win of 40-17. The final challenge came in the state championship. The Vikes were ready for Summerville. the team responsible for their only loss of the season. The first half belonged the the Vikes. However, the Vikes came out for the second half without emotion or energy. Both the fans and the sidelines were silent the entire 3rd period. Again team leadership prevailed. Players held up 4 fingers to signal the start of the 4th quarter and to indicate this would be their turn to take charge. Great plays put the Vikes back into the game score — wise; team spirit put them in the game emotionally and mentally. The Vikes lost according the the score, but the real victory was their ability to remain one team — the Mighty Vikings. John Gibbs summarized, In spite of the defeat, our team showed a lot of character and determination. Our main goal was to reach the championship and we did it.

Varsity Football 83 Uarsity football The memories remain In a season marked by outstanding play, thrilling games, and a 12 game winning streak; picking the most memorable moments is not easy. Each game treated fans to outstanding defensive plays by Rudy Harper. Dorian Maria-ble. Jerome Rice, Dwayne Bird, Roderick Brown, and Pierre Brewton. Chip Ferguson’s tremendous passing talent. the often brilliant pass catching of Randy Briggs, Terry Jeter, and John Gibbs will be long remembered. Clyde Norris's swift, long runs for TD's, the inspired running of Kelly Thompson. Darren Hughes stand out in season filled with superior play. Coaches and team members had their own choices of games they most remembered. Not surprisingly, personal situations influenced many of their choices. Charles Spann’s most vivid memory was the Union game. That’s the game my leg was broken and my season ended.’’ Coach Ernest Thompson felt the Dorman game was the highlight of the season. Winning the overtime and beating Dorman meant more to me than losing to Summerville. John Camp and Terry Rice remembered the Union and Rock Hill games. John recalled the Union game, I intercepted a pass and scored a touchdown. Terry's choice (Rock Hill) was because I played the best game of my career that night.” But for senior team leader John Roberts, the state championship was still the game that meant the most. He most remembered the last offensive play of the entire season when our hopes of winning the state championship were extinguished. Explained John, All the work that I had put into football led to that one play. So much depended on it — tradition and months of hard work. It was a do or die situation. Although we died on that one play, what could have been will stay with me forever. v,mr vs. 5' TfierviUe. ( c.

Varsity Football 85 Backing the Vikes at every game, cheerleaders Kelly Pinson. Paula Booker. and Suzanne Ongemach lead cheers while periodically checking the action on the field. Uarsity football Title still elusive Less than a minute left in the game — Vikes trail by 4, but threaten on the Green Wave II yard line — 3rd play is a pass to Terry Jeter — incomplete — 4th down play — pass to Randy Briggs — incomplete. Thus ended Spartanburg’s hopes for its first ever state title on Saturday, December I, in USC’s Williams Brice Stadium for the state 4A championship against Summerville. The game was a tough match between two tough teams. Both teams scored two touchdowns; the difference was two missed extra points and a safety. Both the offense and defense had moments of glory. The Vikes were deadly against the Green Wave passing attempts. The defense held on crucial plays near the Viking goal line. Clyde Norris returned the momentum to Spartanburg late in the fourth quarter with a 90 yard kick off return for the Vikes’ second TD. A few plays later. Rodrick Brown intercepted a pass to give the Vikes a chance to score again. In the end. however. the Summerville curse” remained intact. To give the Vikes an enthusiastic send-off, students attended a pep rally Friday in the gym. Nearly the entire student body was on hand to scream for the Vikes. Immediately after a few words from the game captains, the Vikes boarded buses for Columbia. Approximately 40 cars of Viking fans assembled at 10:00 A.M. Saturday to participate in a caravan escorted by city police from SHS to 1-26. Signs, streamers, painters’ hats, spirit rags, buttons, spirit ribbons, and bumper stickers identified Vikes supporters. Thousands of Viking fans filled the Williams-Brice stands, most wearing the school colors. Students were invited onto the field to form a tunnel for the team’s entrance run-through. Hundreds of blue and gold balloons were released as the Vikings came onto the field. Although the team, coaches, and fans would have prefered a win, no one argued that the game was not a fitting climax to an outstanding season. The Vikes did themselves proud in every game, and the championship was no exception. Indicating triumph after the end of the first-half. Rudy Harper (5) and the defensive line run off the field.

Robert Clyburn (82). and Autry Yonce (90) sack the Byrnes quarterback to set up a fourth down situation. Advice from Coach Allen Sitterle is always welcomed by the quarterbacks on the JV football team. Anthony Woodruff and Joe Delaney listen as their coach gives them help during a time out. The JV football team never seems to get much credit. However, we can not overlook this year’s team who had a 70 record. Everyone worked hard to achieve this record, and we are proud of it; even though I think we could have been undefeated,” commented Brian Cavin. Coach Allen Sitterle was the new football head coach for both the Varsity and JV teams this year. The JV team seemed to get along well with him. As Tres Cox said. He is an excellent coach and knows what he is doing, even if at times he is very demanding of us.” He made fine players out of this year’s team with Rod- ney Miller, the leading scorer. The JV team put a lot of hard work into the season and were willing to show their improvement to the crowds. They were happy to see more people at the games than in previous years. David Stokes felt. The crowds helped us a lot all season.” Their hard work had payed off and was shown by the shut-out against Gaffney. 41-0. To Brian Cavin, It was the highlight of the season.” Several of the JV players were moved up to the Varsity team for the state play-offs and were a part of the Spartan High bid for its first ever state championship.

The C-Team is a team composed of ninth graders from the three District Seven junior high schools. Carver, McCracken, and Whitlock. However, since the C-Team is not considered a junior high team, and the players do not attend high school, they sometimes lose the recognition they deserve. Many players realize, though, that this is only temporary, and their chance for glory will come next year when they graduate” to the JV team. According to Ryan Delaney. Carver pays more attention to the Carver team by announcing their scores etc., but they do try to include ours also. Delaney also felt that there were many benefits from playing on the C-Team. I have made a lot of new friends because of the team. There are a bunch of great guys playing! Playing together now will also better prepare us for high school because we will already know how to work together and how each other plays. The C-Team players work very hard and are very dedicated too. Practice begins after school and lasts until 5:30 every day except for Friday. One player from McCracken. Richard Reid, attributed the team's teaman-ship” and success to good players and good coaches.” Their season's record was 6-3. Reid, who is also the quarterback for the team, concluded, It was worth it. Win. lose, or draw, the C-Team is a team to be noticed! Paying careful attention to Coach Ric Smith s lecture , freshmen hope to learn much for a successful year and for the future when most will play for the J.V. team. Performing as key players in this defensive play against Greenwood were Ryan Delaney. Marcus Smith, and Ken Rice. Playing aggressively. The C-team works toward their goal post and a T.D. This year’s record was 6-3. Anxiously watching from the sidelines. Marvin Peeler, waits for the outcome of the S.H.S. vs. Dorman game. The C-team lost both games against Dorman, but have high hopes for next year. C-Team FootbaH 91 Running to a strong finish Do you know what sport at Spartan High has the most participation and its participants get the least recognition? The sport is Cross Country and the coaches are the Kilbreths. Mr. Jim Kilbreth coached the boys' teams, and his wife. Mrs. Eileen Kilbreth. coached the girls’. This was Mrs. Kilbreth’s first year as a coach, but the girls’ and boys’ teams were the largest ever this year, and Coach Kilbreth really needed her help. Coach Kilbreth said that. Both teams were very well-prepared this year. They had a good summer and a very good season.” Coach Kilbreth believes a good summer is the key to success in Cross Country be- cause unlike most sports, C.C. starts in early summer and continues throughout the year with only a couple of weeks for a break. This makes C.C. as demanding a sport as any other and just as hard. Both teams had as excellent season, although the girls’ team was definitely hurt by lack of experience. Catherine Boyd was the only runner who returned from last year. What the team lacked in experience, however, they made up for in talent. Sharon Anderson, a sophomore. was the number one runner on the team. She also finished twenty-first in the state, just missing the All-State team by six places. The girls’ team placed seventh at State, which was their best finish yet. With no seniors on the team. Coach Kilbreth looks to next year to be the best girls’ team SHS has had. The boys placed second at the state meet for the third straight year. Two members from the boys’ team qualified for the All-State Team: Will Mount and Greg Jones. Greg also qualified for the National Cross Country Meet held in Denver in June. Coach Kilbreth said, I am very pleased to be with both teams this year and I believe that we couldn’t have done much better.” The C.C. team certainly lived up to their slogan to CONCEDE NOTH ING!” Seriously contemplating” their up- Heading for the downhill portion of coming race, girls cross country mem- the cross country course, runners bers Stephanie Harben.

The Lady Vikings Volleyball team are true champions in every sense of the word. The Lady Vikes sustained many bruises, trials and tribulations. But it was all worth it, for they had a winning season with a record of 13-8. The team was a young one for there were only three lettered players returning. Coach Alexis Homer said, We did not have a lot of experience and working with five new players took adjusting to.” But this did not daunt the Lady Vikings. They advanced to the first round of state play-offs where they lost to Irmo. Many other factors influenced their game. The most commonly attributed as tops was teamwork. Sally Davis ex- plained by saying, We all pulled together when we needed to. We played as a team, not as individuals. We were a team who cared about winning-, that is why we had a winning season. At the beginning of the season, Coach Homer had said their team goal was to get further than last year's team. She also emphasized the importance of teamwork. We have the skill, but attitude and motivation will take us all the way. Even though the girls had a terrific season, school support could have helped. Anne Ro-mine stated, I don’t feel we were supported by the student body- because at our home games there was more support for the opponent.

What is the real job of a cheerleader? Most of the cheerleaders agree with Julie Anderson. A cheerleader is there to raise school spirit through cheers, and to get the student body involved.” They also agreed, as Beth Smith, captain of the junior varsity squad, stated: Through our cheering, the football players know someone is really supporting them.” Kim Poteat said, If the football team knows the crowd is behind them, it can really determine the outcome of the game.” Trish Normanly recalled they always give players candy in homeroom on game days to wish them luck and to let know they were behind them. Cheerleaders help to encourage players to do well. Courtney Smith said, The hardest part about being a cheerleader to me was not feeling stupid getting out in front of people, but once I got out there I felt wonderful. When asked if it was a hard job to be a cheerleader. Captain Kim Poteat stated. Yes. there is so much responsibility. The captain is responsible for making sure everything ual leaders goes right. When asked about how they felt about not having pep rallies. all the cheerleaders agreed it took away from the school spirit. Trish Normanly said, People aren't excited about the games. People don’t have the spirit, and some people don’t even know where the games are.” Beth Smith was the captain of the newest squad, the junior varsity. She said. The main responsibility of a cheerleader is to motivate the crowd so they can help you cheer the team on to victory.” She also said that they have a good squad this year. We are learning to work together to get a lot of things accomplished.” Mrs. Blondell Ragin, sponsor of the junior varsity squad said. They’re one of the best groups we have had.” Margaret Johnson stated. The cheerleaders are there to promote spirit. When people in the stands and around us get spastic and excited about the game, it makes us feel better about our players, fans, and ourselves. For me cheerleading is a fantastic opportunity and a great deal of fun, yet it is sometimes difficult and very time consuming.” 96 Varsity Football Cheerleaders At the Broome game.

Baseball and Softball Where the mounds are heys to success The outlook for the baseball team was promising; stated head coach Dale Mulwee, I think we can have a very good year. We have some returning players from last year and our pitching and hitting should be better ’ A major strong point of the team seemed to be the experienced infield with 4 returning players: Dwight Hood as catcher. Jeff Stevens at first base. Jamie Amick at second base and Toney Earle at shortstop. A major weakness was the outfield where they lost two starters from last year’s team with only Jon Hurst returning. Coach Mulwee also stated. We have not jelled with our hitting which right now lacks consistency. One of Coach Mulwee’s main strategies was to play as many young people as possible because he looses 7 out of 9 starters next year. Asked about the main goals for the season. Coach Mulwee replied. We always strive to win more than we loose and hopefully improve and do the best we can in a season. Our long range goals would be to win the region, make the playoffs. and go as far as we can. There was a certain amount of optimism for Lady Vikings Softball. Commented head coach Pam Howard. We have experienced seniors in all areas and a good group of sophomores which adds youth to the team . The Lady Vikings major weakness seemed to be in pitching; Coach Howard affirmed. This is a building year for a pitching squad. The main strategy was to de- velop a wide-open running game and a strong defense. Coach Howard felt their most formidable opponent would be Boiling Springs. The primary goals were to have a winning season and to rebuild their pitching program. When asked about how important to the game attitudes were. Coach Howard articulated. A good attitude is the first step to being a good athlete! Baseball. Softball 99 Teeing off on the first hole.

Golf Boys' Tennis and Golf Making teams of individuals Playing on the tennis and golf teams allowed players to compete individually while also being part of a team effort. Both teams began practicing in early March, hoping to win their matches, the region championships, and possibly the state championships. All the players went into their season with confidence and skill. The Boys’ Tennis Team considered its greatest strength to be its experience and depth. The team had eight returning members who made the team very strong. Since no one player dominated the team, everyone in the top eight positions was on an equal level of ability. Coach Doc Davis felt that Northwestern, last year’s region champs, appeared to be the toughest opponent due to their large number of veteran players. Although there were no particular changes in the team’s strategy. Coach Davis and the tennis players hoped to have a successful season. The members of the Varsity Golf Team felt they were not only a team, but individual competitors. All the players had goals of their own and probably the biggest was their joint goal of becoming the state champs for the second year in a row. With three returning players, Christian Williams, Tom Mahaffey, and Roger O’Connell, the team was enthusiastic and confident about the season. Coach John Craig felt that the team's greatest strength was the tournament experience of these veteran golfers combined with their consistent play. Coach Craig also hoped to create a more competitive atmosphere by bringing up 3 or 4 players from the JV team. With their winning combination of skill and determination, these young golfers had an excellent shot at the 1985 state championship. Registering satisfaction at the outcome of his putt.

Boys' Track Strength from experience and depth Striving to finish in the top two in the region and top four in the state meet was the goal for the Boys' Track Team, according to Coach Jim Kilbreth. Although there were no returning high jumpers or hurdlers, the team was not weak in any of their events. Coach Kilbreth commented, We have good quality performers in all of the events, which should make Spartan High a good dual meet team. In addition to the other changes at Spartan High, the practice for the runners underwent a change. Many of the sprinters and jumpers trained through the winter with the distance runners. The assistant coaches, Mel Baxley, Ernest Thompson, and Ken Wiliams, agreed with Coach Kilbreth that this training was definitely an asset to the team. Outstanding team members competing in the shot put were Dorian Mariable, Steve Paysen, and Reggie Tomason; in the pole vault Craig Russel; jumpers Darryl Houston and John Gibbs; sprinters John Camp, Tony Farr, Ted Hamilton, Carl Davis, and Farrand Logan; and distance runners Greg Jones, Clay Boswell, Ricky Eitel, Brain Agnew, and Will Mount. The team's biggest challenges of the year were the usual tough Region II opponents. The addition of Byrnes made the conference very strong since Rock Hill and Northwestern are always near the top in the state meet. According to Coach Kilbreth, We are all looking forward to the 1985 season. This should be the best balanced squad we have had since 1982.” 102 Boys' Track Practicing the long jump.

Their goals were to once again win the region championship and to break the 440 relay record. We have a very hard working group of girls. I’m excited about being a part of such a great group, said new head coach Wanda Cromer. She tried to include more junior high students than have been used in the past. Some of the outstanding returning members were Yvette Green, a sprinter; Nancy Price, a hurdler; Mary Bradford, in both long and triple jumps; and three of the four runners of the championship 440 relay team, Yvette Green, Kim Fields, and Nisey Meadows. The team felt their biggest challenges for the season would be Byrnes, who was strong in 3A competition and were new to 4A and the re- gion, and Dorman, who had been through couple of building years and were rapidly gaining in experience. The girls' team practiced every week until 5:00. usually on the track but on rainy days the girls ran in the gym and through the halls.

Soccer and Wrestling Pinning down winning seasons There is one word that explained why the soccer and wrestling teams were so successful. DEDICATION. The season was the best ever for both Viking teams. Wrestlers attributed their success to Coach Tim Rema-ley. In their opinion he was a great coach and a terrific person.” Eddie Lawson said he wrestled because I enjoy the sport. Wrestling is a challenge, and you get the satisfaction of knowing that you won on you own.” Bill McCraw enjoyed wrestling because he liked contact sports. He believed that wrestling was one of the toughest and most physically demanding sports around. This was the first year that a specific GPA was required for athletes. Robert Alexander felt that all the time spent at practice did not affect his school work, while others felt it did. All knew they must keep up their grades in order to wrestle and worked to maintain their grades. Because so much time was spent practicing (up to twelve hours a week), the wrestlers had to make time in their schedules to study. The toughest challenges were keeping their weight down, staying in shape, and keeping the attitude that every good wrestler should have. The soccer team also ended with an excellent season. Just like wrestling, the team attributed their success to their new coach. Carlos Osorio. He knew what he was doing and really wanted us to do something with the program,” Charlie Willbanks said. Chris Weed added, Since he (Coach Osorio) is right out of college, he can relate to us easily. He also learns with us.” The season was quite different than the past because we won games and worked as a team,” Gray Hall stated. The players said that all of the hard work paid off because We are winning! Chris Weed added that it was a very productive and valuable season” for the team. The players felt that they did not get much support from the students because only parents and a few friends showed up. Gray Hall believed, Maybe soccer will become more popular since we have started to win some games.” Will Russell felt all of the hard work was worth the trouble because it was a great feeling knowing he had done his best and was able to make the varsity team. All of this proved that each player was dedicated to individual and team success. WRESTLING: From Row: Marion Roberts. Andy ley. Mike Dent. Robert Alexander. Darrell Young. Jem. Johnny Johnson.

The spirit of the crowd and the cheerleaders helped the team win a close game. Uarsiti) Basketball Cheerleaders Training begins in summer What did you do this summer? Lay around in the sun. party, or just sleep? While you were doing whatever you did. the varsity cheerleaders were at a four day Summer camp practicing to be better for you. The varsity basketball cheerleaders attended UCA cheerleading camp at Carolina, while the varsity football cheerleaders attended the NCA cheerleading camp at Furman. These camps are not for fun and relaxation-, they are four days of hard work. At the camps, the cheerleaders learned new dances, jumps, cheers, and chants. They also got new ideas from other squads participating in the camps. Kim Poteat, captain of the varsity football squad, said that the camps actually bring the squads together. The cheerleaders learn to cooperate with one another.” She said, It really helps you all around. Duffy Lee, a cheerleader for the varsity basketball squad, stated When I first thought about cheerlead- ing. I thought you just learned cheers-, but it is a lot harder than I thought. Even though its hard; it had its rewards. Most people don’t realize that being a cheerleader is not learning a few cheers-, it is hard work which requires hours of practice and a lot of patience. The squads earned their money to go to camp by putting together their own camp. Kiddie Kamp. Girls ranging from the ages of 3 to 14 attended this camp. It was a week long camp where the varsity cheerleaders taught the girls cheers, chants, and jumps. Said Kim Poteat, The girls really put a lot of time in it and went out of their way to make it good. Trish Normanly, captain of the varsity basketball squad, said. The kids really wanted to learn for the time they were there. They really had fun; it wasn’t something their family makes them do.” Duffy Lee words: They were flat out adorable. Varsity Basketball Cheerleaders I09 Interviewing for Channel 4 Sports. J.D.

Anthony Singleton commented, If lower state teams rank higher than us. we play harder-, but when we get into the ranking, we don’t worry about it.” The team was willing to work hard in order to achieve their goals. They practiced five and sometimes six days a week for at least 2 1 2 hours at a time. The players did not mind sacrificing their free time to play ball. As senior Tyrone Gilmore said. Basketball does require a considerable amount of time, but if you manage it well, you can have enough time to study, and also a little free time. With the coaching of Doug Lowe and his assistants, the team enjoyed a great season. The Northwestern game was the most memorable of the season. Just when the team was down and seemed about to lose, they pulled together as a team and proved their unity. Bill Turrentine commented, It really felt good to play in a ball game and be a part of a winning effort. Playing basketball has really been a thrill for me because it has helped me to become a better person on and off the court,” stated Ty Gilmore. One thing that I was very fortunate in having was such a great coach as Doug Lowe. I feel that he is the best coach around and definitely the best thing that has happened to Viking basketball. Fans had similar thrills watching Gilmore's play. His final seconds’ baskets from 30 and 40 feet won the Northwestern game and put the Byrnes game into overtime. Driving toward the basket.

We had a lot of new faces, but everyone pulled together and we had a very successful season. The success was attributed to the players, head coach Doug Lowe, and assistant coaches Steve Linder and Bill Pate. Coach Lowe felt that the team had its strengths and weaknesses. More people played than usual due to the depth of the team. Lowe said he had II players of equal ability, and he felt he had a good defensive team. The team’s weaknesses, according to Lowe, were its poor rebounding and lack of quickness. The team didn’t worry about the weekly state rankings although they went from Viking player Johnny Gibbs shoots a basket while surrounded by the entire Union team who were unable to keep him from scoring another Viking goal.

No. they wore the brown bags over their heads to show their spirit and support of the Vikings! Although the attendance at the Varsity Basketball games was poor in the beginning, it improved with the help of Coach Doug Lowe's announcements. He felt that part of the problem was a lack of publicity-, some people simply did not know about the games! Many of the basketball games did, however, have good turnouts, especially the Northwestern and Byrnes victories. Coach Lowe even raved, Our game against Northwestern had the best turnout I’ve seen since I’ve been at Spartan High!” The soccer team wore bags on their heads to show their support, and the entire crowd turned around and put their backs to the court at appropriate times. Coach Lowe enjoyed seeing the students have this kind good, clean fun.” Clubs held competitive free throw matches during the half times at the games, and the The tug-of-war competition turned out to be too strenuous for the faculty team at halftime against Union. The students won twice. students challenged the faculty to a tug of war. This further increased the spirit of the crowd and players. Players expressed the feeling that the support from their friends and other vivacious members of the crowd helped them through the games. Tyrone Gilmore stated that. The crowd were good motivators for us. The times we were down, the crowd helped us get back into the games.” Bill Turrentine agreed. The crowd helps psych us up. It gives us confidence and motivation, especially when we’re playing a rough game.” He was very appreciative of the Byrnes turnout. People went to the games for different reasons. Irene Trakas said, Some people attend the games to show their spirit and support, and others go to see certain players on the team!” The encouragement and support of the student body motivated the basketball team to play well. Hopefully in the future, a larger percentage of the students at Spartan High will attend basketball games and other Viking athletic events. School spirit is more than supporting the football team!

Varsity Basketball 113 Getting V-l-K-l-N-G P-OW-ERl” This cheer seemed to resound through SHS during the fall football season, yet died down during the winter months of basketball. This seemed especially true for the girls’ varsity team. Junior. Sharon Dillion stated. Our season was slightly disappointing; and it was difficult to get up spirit for every game, especially when the stu-dett body doesn’t seem interested.” Practices were held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays any time from 3:30 to 7:00 P.M., usually for two hours at a time. Games were every Tuesday and Friday nights. When asked if all this time affected her school work and grades, junior Anne Ro-mine replied. “Sometimes it was really hard to keep up; but I worked out a schedule, and Gelling ready to foil the opponent’s in bounds throw. Anne Romine and the Lady Vikings try to anticipate the next move off their opponents from Byrnes. Cirls’ basketball somehow I kept up.” On the season’s strategy. Coach Alexis Homer stated, I tried to run the fast-break as much as possible, and work on our forward positions. The goal I had for the girls this season was that they do the best they possibly could, work hard, and have pride in themselves, their team and their school.’’ The feeling seemed to reach every player on the team this year. Senior, Cindy Poole stated, As long as I feel like I've done my best. I’m happyl” All time and effort put in by the girls finally paid off in their victories over Byrnes and Rock Hill. Looking toward next year, Anne Romine stated, “I really hope we can raise school spirit and interest toward our team.

Well, some dedicated students can and do. Starting at 3:30 every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the JV Basketball team dribbled and shot their way through a tough two hour practice. The team members thought they worked hard during practices, but it paid off. Chris Scott and Jamie Gory said they practiced two hours each day after school, while Willis Woodruff said he practiced four hours. They all felt that this practice was worth it because it helped them during the games. Tracy Miller felt that because of so much practice, the team played pretty good on fast breaks and worked well together because no one was selfish and everyone got along.” Jamie Gory felt that the players worked together and it helped give us a feeling of a team.” Asked if practice was a problem interfering with school work or social life, most players felt the problems were minimal. Terry Hollis found a way to get his basketball and school work done. He said he just set time on the side to study in order to get everything done. Miller said. It didn't bother me because I played football so I’m used to it.” Several players enjoy playing enough to want to continue. Danny Baker said. I like playing basketball and hope to play again as a junior or senior on the Varsity team.” Sterling Brannon also hoped to play varsity and then to continue in basketball. He said, I would like to get a basketball scholarship to college and then play professional basketball as a career. Willis Woodruff said he also hopes for college scholarships. Coach Pate felt the team had a good year despite some tough opponents. The players would like to have had more fans at their games. Terry Hollis said that the size of the crowd affects the players because when you have a lot of fans behind you, you play better.” Coach Pate commented that basketball is important because it teaches more than just the sport. It teaches quickness, responsibility, and even helps in class. Willis Woodruff agreed. Playing basketball helps me because I have to pay attention, and paying attention to the plays helps me learn concentration and to pay attention in my academic classes.” Score one for JV basketball as a teacher.

JV Basketball 117 JU Cheerleaders Hard work is an honor It is wonderful to be a Spartan High cheerleader. It is a big honor to make it and to be fortunate enough to have been one of the ten cheerleaders picked.” This was stated by Carrie Jo Cooke, co-captain of the JV squad. The JV squad does not get as much recognition as the two varsity squads, but they are just as important. These girls must learn to work together if they want to do good. Carrie Jo Cooke also said, I feel that as a whole our squad is a good team, we put forth a lot of effort.” Effort is a very important quality any group that works as a team must possess. Practices are another very important thing to a cheerleading squad. Kelly Petosky said. Sometimes the practices are hard, and sometimes they are really unorganized; but we need hard practices to be as good as we ought to be. It really is worth the work.” The JV cheerleading squad had a longer season” than either of the varsity squads. In the fall these girls cheered for the JV football team, and during the winter they cheered for the JV and girls’ basketball squads. Adviser Blondell Ragin commented that this squad was one of the most cooperative and hardest working squads she had ever coached. She gave much of the credit to captain Beth Smith for being organized and having a clear idea of what she wanted the squad to accomplish. As was true of the football and basketball teams they cheered for, it was too bad that more fans weren’t on hand to watch these teams and the hard-working and talented girls that cheered them on. Performing in one of the dance routines. Yvonne Wardlaw and the JV squad entertain at half-time of a JV basketball game. Routines like this help keep the crowd up for the game.

It was Nancy Price’s third time to the championship match and her feelings to- wards this win where. I had a feeling we would win. I’m glad we did my senior year.” There were some changes in the high school league’s format for tennis competitions. For the first time, players could not participate in more than one event. This meant the team’s strategy had to change, and girls had to decide whether to compete in doubles or singles events. The team's goals at the start of the season were to enjoy working as a team and to represent SHS with honor. Demonstrating her forehand. Vee kimbrell returns the ball to her opponent.

Drama Special interests and talents draw club memberships together Clubs are a very important part of a school. Not only are they good learning experience, they also bring people together who have the same interest. The Delta Pi Club and the Drama Club are two very active clubs. They are clubs that nobody really talks about, but they sponsor many activities for their members. Jodi Irwin, president of the Drama Club, said, The Drama Club had sort of been put on hold for a year or so, because there was no sponsor. This year, with the addition of Mrs. Rita Acosta, the Drama Club is going to be doing a lot of things, such as putting on plays and going to competitions. One of the Drama Club’s first activities was attending the South Carolina Theater Association Conference held at Converse College on November 16,17, and 18. At this conference there was an one-act play competition in which two of the club members competed. In March there was a competition at Winthrop College in Rock Hill for the Palmetto Dramatic Association. Jodi Irwin further stated, The club is a good club, a little slow at getting started; but it will soon be something Spartan High will be proud of. She also stated that the club is a learning experience. Just being exposed to plays helps students to learn.” In November, the Drama Club had a guest speaker who was a professional actor in New York. Ray Dooley. He talked about how being an actor wasn’t as gla-marous as it seemed to many. He said it was hard work. He gave some demonstrations and answered students’ questions. According to Delta Pi president Margaret McGee, The club works in conjunction with the South Carolina Junior Acad- emy of Science to promote science research and student involvement in the scientific community.” Monthly meetings were held with frequent guest speakers. Other activities included the annual Egg Drop contest and Paper Airplane Flying contest. Delta Pi sponsored a movie The Con-vincer” which featured a simulated car crash to show the benefits of wearing seat belts. As members of the Junior Academy of Science, members were encouraged to do independent research projects and presented them at the annual meeting on March 28 and 29 at USC Columbia. Their science bowl teams took first place at both the SC Junior Academy of Science fall workshop and the Converse College Annual Science Olympiad. The election of officers is an important event for all clubs. Delta Pi votes on its slate of nominees. Picking good officers can determine the success or failure of a club’s year.

This is the biggest money-raiser of the year for the club. Dedicated to promoting in-school service The in-school activities for Civinettes, Z, and Anchor varied, but the objectives were the same: to learn to cooperate and to work together to serve others. The Civinettes. led by president Irene Trakas. scheduled many school activities and projects so that the girls could earn their required hours. The main school activities the girls participated in throughout the year were teacher appreciation, sports banquets, business meetings, and fund raising projects. Each month a school wing was chosen and Civinette members baked goods for those teachers in the wing. Civinettes helped at the fall sports banquet in December with other service clubs. Business meetings were held after school the first Monday of each month to check role, distribute calendars, and discuss upcoming business. To raise money, the club sold M M’s and bumper stickers. Civinette treasurer Suzanne Smiley said, It is very worthwhile and rewarding to help others, especially when you can tell your work is appreciated. Z Club members found it a rewarding experience to help around school. Members earned their required points by helping at registration, working at sports ban- quets, and attending business meetings. At orientation, they distributed schedules to students. At the fall sports banquet at Memorial Auditorium. Z Club members set up. served food, and cleaned up afterwards. Member Mandy Turner commented, It is very self-satisfying to be a member of the Z Club because we help out others all the time.” Anchor Club member Emelia Gauthier said. Anchor is very important to me. It gives me a chance to serve my school and community while making new friends. The Anchor Club worked together to provide help in many in-school activities. Activities included helping with schedules and I.D. pictures at orientation, providing a Christmas card mailing service, honoring male teachers on their birthdays. electing a senior guy each month as a playmate, and helping at sports banquets. Although it was a lot of hard work to accumulate 30 points first semester and 70 points second semester, members agreed that it was great fun. Tracy Wilson, Anchor secretary, stated why Anchor is important to her. It gives me a feeling of satisfaction to know that I am able to help others.” Many calculations by Leigh Cubitt. Elizabeth Haas, and Lindsay Cooke are necessary to figure the proceeds of the Anchor Club's craft show. The show has been successfully held during the Christmas season.

They also perform many useful services for the school and community. These young men must possess qualities such as leadership and the willingness to help others. Being a part of service club can be a learning experience. For instance, members all participated in the Special Olympics, held yearly. They helped disabled children compete in various sports competition. The Leo Club, although being a relatively new club, made progress toward becoming an important voice at SHS. Their involvement with the South Carolina Lung Association was greatly appreciated. Interact Club members were the responsible young men that daily raised and lowered the flag in front of the school. They could also be seen at home football games ushering the fans to their seats. This year Interact took on an added responsibility by becoming the first contri-buters to the Make a Wish Foundation. This foundation grants wishes to children who are terminally ill. Key Club members could always be seen in the halls begging for quarters for spirit ribbons. They also participated in the Great American Smokeout, helping others to stop the habit of lighting up, and distributed presents for the Goodfel-lows Club. Being a part of an SHS service club can be a rewarding adventure. Next year why don’t you sign up for Key, Leo, or Interact? Carrying a heavy load of Greek food. Dickie Miller serves as a waiter.

Well, not exactly, but even service club members are entitled to some fun now and then. Throughout the year, the boys participating in the three boys service clubs at SHA (Key, Interact, Leo) manage to spend some well earned time laughing things up. and playing around. For example, the Leo Club has a party every semester, usually at such places as Duff's or a neighborhood pizza place. Flowever, due to the small number of active members in the club, the amount of money spent for fun is somewhat limited. Key Club has many diverse recreational activities. One fun affair they have every year, is the big applicant party for prospective members. This year’s dress was strictly toga.” According to one Key Bone member. Derrick Pierce, it was a total blast! Key can also be seen playing around at parties they help sponsor at Cedar Springs. Activities they participate in while there are playing on see-saws, slides, merry-go-rounds, and generally having a swinging” time. Other activities are carolling with Civinettes, their annual haunted house” fund raiser, and the Key-lnteract football game. Interact members also find the time for merriment at such functions as after- school and dinner meetings, Christmas carolling with Anchor, and a lake house party with Civinettes in the summer. Interact guys also include family in many of their favorite pastimes such as outings and a father-son banquet. The Interact Club has been known to pull a prank or two. This year their advisor, Mr. Jim Mancke, found his house rolled from tree to ground. Of course Interact cleaned up their act.” All in all, Key, Interact, and Leo have some good clean fun along with performing helpful duties to their school and community.

Alan Abrams ponders the material being presented. The club provided opportunity to present original short stories and poems for critiquing by the membership. New clubs score a smashing success Something new and completely different happened. That something happened in the form of two new clubs being added to the school. They were Speak Easy and Literary Club, and they met with considerable success in their first year of existence. Speak Easy was set up by Beth Glasgow, Peaches Smith, Tracey Manatis, and Reed Russell after they attended a Teen Institute Camp in Florence last summer. One of the requirements of the camp was that they had to set up a prevention program in the community against drug and alcohol abuse. The purpose of Speak Easy was to dis- cuss the problems of teenagers and, according to Tracey Manatis. To show teenagers the dangers and consequences of abusing drugs and alcohol. The group met on the fourth Monday of every month — first at Sugar-n-Spice for a dinner, afterwards at the YMCA for a discussion session. The Literary Club was created by Mr. Bill Pell, one of the advisors for the club. Its purposes were to promote student activities in literature and, according to secretary Dan Grau, To provide a forum for writers to introduce their work for criticism by other members.” The club, which met on the fourth Thursday of every month, consisted of over thirty members, and included some faculty as well as students. Asked why he joined, president Alan Abrams replied, It was a good opportunity to have my work criticized by my peers, and I also wanted to see what other students were writing as well.” Even though both of the clubs had a successful first year, everyone involved in the clubs felt that next year would be even more successful. The members of the clubs felt that the clubs have great potential to grow and to achieve that desired success. Speak Easy meetings usually began with dinner at the Sugar-n-Spice and then moved to the YMCA for speakers and discussion. Russ Austin. Elford Morgan, and John Price enjoy some nourishment.

Culture clubs . . . mixing fun and learning Mixing culture with pleasure? That’s the purpose of the foreign language clubs, the French, German, and Spanish clubs. All three clubs had different activities, but they all had one underlying idea, for students to learn more about the culture they were studying than they could learn in class. The clubs had separate food parties to sample some of the delicacies of the country they were studying. The French club had a cheese party, a crepe party, a wonderful seven course meal, and a mar-di gras party. The French and German Clubs also played their traditional soccer game, in which the French Club beat the German Club. French Club president Suzanne Smiley said, This year’s French club has been the biggest and best ever. The turnout and participation in club events was super, especially the cheese party at my house.’’ The German Club participated in such things as making their traditional ginger- bread house at Christmas, and its members hosted the second annual German Club Language Immersion Day. In addition to these activities, the German Club held a party in order to see member Ted Flenderson’s slides from the trip he took this summer. Fie won the trip to Germany lasy year by writing a German composition. The Spanish Club had a Christmas Fiesta party at school. Spanish Club members, however, then did something that no other club at Spartan High did; they sponsored a needy child in a foreign country at Christmas. Spanish Club member Dawn Edwards commented, The club worked very hard to raise money for the needy child by selling candy at school. Vice-president of the German Club Lydia Fryml aptly stated that the clubs’ purposes, Language clubs provide the students with the opportunity to experience a country's culture. It’s a lot of fun to plan the club activities and parties with an educational theme in mind.” Making the gingerbread house for ihe Children's Shelter really put me in the Christmas spirit.

Each of these clubs has a special meaning or purpose behind them. During this past year these clubs have played a special part in the school spirit of SHS. FCA’s purpose is to present athletes, coaches, and interested students the joy of knowing Jesus Christ and to develop a personal relationship with Him. One of the many service projects FCA did this year was to provide food to families for Thanksgiving. Patrick Armstrong, president of the club, said, This club raises money for many different reasons, all with a Christian purpose.” NAHS tries to provide art students with a B average in art an opportunity to develop in and beyond the classroom. Painting murals, volunteer work, decorating for dances, and setting up backdrops for pictures are just a few of the activities that members of NAHS are involved in. Nancy Price said, This year we have become more organized because we have learned to work together as a team.” The club teamed up with the drama and music departments to help design and con-struck the set for the school musical Grease. Although one might not be aware of it from the clubs’ names, both of these organizations provide volunteer services to both the school and the community. Sponsors of teams and clubs are appreciated and needed at SHS. Mr. MacArthur Goodwin and Mr. Tom Willis are dedicated sponsors of NAHS. During this meeting, they share ideas with students.

Students who took D.E. courses were automatically members of DECA. In addition to their classwork, students left school at the beginning of sixth period to go to their jobs. They learned work techniques and participated in competitions. Distributive Education also taught students about marketing, such as the different types of business and advertising. Most students stay in the course for two year. Being in D.E. has helped me a great . deal on my job. I understand more about the business I work for.” said senior Ter- t rie McElreath. Due to the unseasonably warm December weather, the Ski Club was not able to take as many trips as anticipated. There was a white water rafting trip planned, but the weather did not cooperate on that date either.

SOSH School achieved through through work and genius Besides the changes that the school has made because of the Education Improvement Act, there have been changes in two clubs. SOSH, Spirit of Spartan High, is one of these clubs. The biggest change SOSH has made is having each homeroom represented in the club. stated Tonya Adams. This new idea of representing all homerooms gives the school an even more exciting school spirit so SOSH has improved. commented Villette Roberson. The purpose of SOSH can be summed up in the initials-, SOSH are the spirit raisers for the school, answered Catherine Kot about the purpose of SOSH. The benefits of SOSH according to Catherine Kot, SOSH is a definite benefit since it is the motivation behind the students, and the students’ motivation is what makes Spartan High what it is.” FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America, is a newly formed club. Ms. Julie McCraw, advisor, was a force behind the establishing of FBLA. She saw a need that the club could fill. FBLA was started as an outside activity for business students to give them access to the business world.” Member Velma Peeler explained one example of the benefits FBLA provided its members. By having speakers come,” she stated, it broadens our knowledge of the business world.” Some of the activities FBLA participated in during their first year were: contributed to the State Scholarship Fund, went to the District Conference on February 9, participated in Business Skills Competition. competed for scholarships, held workshops, and sold candy bars to raise money so they could do all these activities. FBLA is open to any student enrolled in a business class. Any student may join SOSH, either by being the official representative of his or her homeroom or by joining on his or her own.

SOSH 149 Who says high achievers don’t have fun It was an honor to join and rewarding to do something for the community. — Courtney Uhler Having just finished their dinner at Sugar-n Spice. NHS members Amelia Gauthier and Beth Mewshaw talk about past activities and future plans. Regular attendance at monthly dinner meetings is expected. All work and no play? Of course not! The members of the National Honor Society and National Beta Club definitely play as much as they work. These students with good grades” experienced changes in their clubs as they continued to have fun doing their projects. The National Honor Society, open to students with a 3.5 average, provided fun and an incentive to excel in academics for these industrious students. Ricky Ei-tel, president of NHS, held the annual cookout at his home. The other traditions — candy grams, pizza parties, and scholarship awards also continued, although NHS did see its share of changes. One change was the requirement of an individual service project, such as grading papers for a teacher. The National Smoke Out also provided a chance for a few people to complete their service. For example, Courtney Uhler acted in a short drama about the hazards of smoking. This prompted her to say, It was rewarding to do something for the community. I hope it did some good.” The early acceptance of new members in the fall was another change in NHS. April Turner, a new member, remarked, It was nice to be asked to join, and so far it has been a lot of fun.” The Beta Club, also requiring a 3.5 average, continued its reputation of excellence. The club encouraged service and fellowships to the students and faculty throughout the year. Compiling the student directories and selling Valentine carnations were two projects the Beta Club worked on. They were both greatly appreciated by the students of SHS. Beta Club also had its share of fun. Members attended a state convention in Myrtle Beach and held a picnic at the end of the year. President Charles Acosta pointed out, The Beta Club sure has been fun to work this year!” Obviously, the National Honor Society and the National Beta Club both required the students’ dedication to serve the school and the community. As both clubs instituted changes throughout the year, they continued their tradition of emphasizing academic excellence together with service and fun. ISO NHS, R ta Studying the Beta Club Journal. Vanessa Grimm and Ouankeo Khamsay come up with ideas for the coming year. This small club takes on the giant project of producing the student directory each year. One of the rewards of academic success at SHS is the chance to join NHS or Beta Club. These NHS members listen to a discussion of the plans for their annual fall cookout.

Beta 151 SAC turns and faces the strange changes Being my first year on council. I never realized how much work there is to do on council. Often much of it goes unnoticed,” commented junior council member Sherese Edwards. This seemed to be the sentiment of most council members. Leigh Cubitt added, Contrary to popular belief, we do work hard and get things done.” The Student Advisory Council is comprised of five executive members, nine class officers and twenty-four representatives from the three classes. The members of SAC acted as an intermediary between the administration and the students. They voted on the various recommendations to send to the administration for approval, chose projects to work on throughout the year, and conducted many of the student activities in school. SAC met every day during third period in 106 M to work on the various activities such as conducting orientation for the sophomores, conducting sophomore elections. the buddy system (which was de- vised to help acquaint transfer students with SHS), homecoming, selling programs for the home football games, helping with the Thanksgiving project. Operation Santa Claus to help needy children, and sponsoring the free film Dr. Strangelove.” These were the first semester activities. Second semester activities included helping with the Black History Assembly, the Junior-Senior Dance, elections for class representatives, class officers, and student body officers for next year, and another free film. SAC experienced many changes this year due to the Education Improvement Act. Scott Jones commented, I never thought the act would change council very much, but it has made a tremendous difference.” Some of the changes included the limitations on assemblies, no school duty excuses for such events as taking donated Thanksgiving food to the Department of Social Services, and for the South Carolina District IV Rally. The most notable change was the Homecoming procedure. Due to the fact that we are allowed no half-days, the Homecoming parade had to be on the same day as the bonfire. Sherese Edwards commented, Under the conditions, overall I think Homecoming went pretty smoothly, except that everyone seemed to be worn out at the bonfire from marching in the parade beforehand.” It seems there has been a change in attitudes of council members according to Leigh Cubitt. Student Council has become a lot stricter this year and therefore the members tend to be highstrung on certain issues.” Trying to Keep traditions alive in light of changed rules and trying to please the student body often kept members on edge. SAC members sometimes felt that the student body blamed them for changes made to comply with the Education Act. Waiting for the SAC installation to begin, sophomores Gina Rossi.

Promoting school spirit difficult task for SAC With no pep rallies and no half days, what can we do to promote school spirit?” asked council member Scott Jones. Although Spartan High has the reputation for having great school spirit, the Education Improvement Act has seemed to decrease this and Student Council had a difficult job this year building it back up. Pep rallies were the number one spirit builder last year but the Education Improvement Act did not provide for them this year. Junior council member Dwight Hood said, At least our pep rallies gave the students spirit for one day, and at Homecoming there was a lot of spirit. I think now we will have to really come up with a lot of ideas on how to promote school spirit in small proportions because we are not able to perform assemblies and bigger programs like that.” Student Council Advisor Mr. Chris White felt, Students are upset about the new Education Improvement Act. They are somewhat rebellious because of it. They only think about ways of getting around the new act instead of devoting their time to the events that are going on in our school. We need to realize that the act has passed and there isn't anything we can do about it. Let’s just focus our energies on positive things and do our best.” SAC members Beth Smith. Brian Hammond. Carrie Cooke, and Tyrone Gilmore hold up a sign announcing the ’84 Homecoming theme at the end of the Spirit Assembly, the first of our four assemblies for the year.

Picking those who will get the job done is a big challenge. Last spring, the rising junior class elected three class officers to be responsible for planning and executing senior activities. Work began before school started in the fall with planning sessions and the traditional duty of painting the Viking sign in the pep rally area. Once school arrived, each senior homeroom elected a president to serve as liason between SAC and the individual homerooms. The presidents called homeroom parents before each PTA open house, organized the Thanksgiving and Christmas projects, and reported to homeroom members on monthly SAC activities. Seniors also elected those members of their class who deserved the title of best looking in the Class of '85.

Faculty and staff were given the hard task of selecting twenty students from the Class of ’85 who were outstanding in scholarship, service, leadership, athletics, and the arts.

For forty-eight years, the Brevard Music Center in Brevard, N.C. has provided such an atmosphere to promising young musicians. Every year over three hundred people attend the Brevard Music Center, and a great many of them are from Spartanburg High. The musicians who attended this past summer from Spartanburg were Greg Em-merth on piano and string bass. Cathie Jeffers on piano. Burton Maugans and Elaine Powell on violin. Mandy Turner on string bass, Erica Johnson and Harrison Martin on viola, Trina Janiec for voice, and Jodi Irwin as a technical assistant. The young musicians learned of the Brevard Music Center through their private teachers or from friends who had been there before. Many of these people attended on scholarships to help defray tuition expenses. The total cost of attending Brevard amounted to $1005.00. The scholarships helped in lessening the amount each student had to pay. When they arrived at Brevard, the musicians auditioned for placements in orchestras, for opera roles, and for assignments to teachers. Throughout the six and one-half week period, these musicians auditioned frequently for new placements in the group to which they were assigned. As a result. Elaine Powell said, I felt prepared for auditions and concerts. All of these musicians enjoyed Brevard very much and felt that they had improved musically as a result of going to the Music Center. They also liked, as Greg Emmerth put it, the friendliness and closeness of the people. They were very sad to leave Brevard, but most of them said that they would go back next summer.

Free summer abroad One would think that most people would want to stay home and relax and not live in a foreign country during the summer. Well Ted Henderson certainly did not stay home over the summer. He spent the month of June and July in Germany thanks to winning an essay contest. Ted’s German teacher, Mrs. Robin Johnson, told his German class that those who typed an essay of 1500 words or less would receive extra credit. The topic of the essay was Three Hundred Years of German-American Friendship and What It Means To Me. Ted’s essay was so impressive that his teacher entered it in a contest. Ironically, Ted did not even think about winning the contest. In fact, he did not even know that his teacher had entered his essay in the contest. As a result of winning the contest, Ted got to spend June 26th to July 23rd in Germany. He found that German people were not that different from Americans-, the Germans were really nice and friend- ly to him. German culture, in some aspects, was different to Ted. At mealtime, the people always ate every bit of food on their plates and if the guest left just a little bit. the hosts were offended. Ted liked the German food. He said Germany has McDonalds and Burger Kings, but the people do not like them. Also, he found that no kids drove cars, but only bicycles and motorcycles. People rode buses, but they had to pay a bus fare when they got on the bus. Those buses were private buses not like school buses. One interesting aspect that Ted liked was this, German people almost never screamed or yelled at one another. He also found it interesting that when people sneeze, it is considered impolite when others do not say GesundheitI!” All in all. Ted found that his trip to Germany was a good learning experience and a lot of fun. Asked if he would like to go back some day. he said, Yes! Anybody who went would have fun!” 168 Seniors KIMBERLY ANN BLASIUS Ski 4; SOSH 4; Spanish 4. Anchor 2. 3; H.R. V.-Pres. 3: NASH 4: FCA 4: Powder Puff 3. MATTHEW ALOIS BLINN St. Agnes H.S..

Students have a wide variety of physical activities to chose from anywhere from organized sports such as football, basketball, and baseball to individual activities such as running, biking, and dancing. When Lori West was asked what she did to keep in shape she replied. I usually go to the YMCA to eat and take aerobic classes.” The YMCA seems to be one of the most popular places for SHS students to go to keep in shape.

The YMCA has such a variety of things to do to keep in shape such as the nautilus, swimming, racquetball. tennis, basketball, volleyball, aerobic classes, etc. No wonder it is so popular.” In and out of season, athletes used the school weight room to keep in shape and to build strength. Football player Clyde Norris became such a fan of body building that he began competing and has won several titles.

Testing the political arena SENATE PAGES: Dwight Hood. David Fisgus. Sue Krydynski. MODEL CONGRESS: Front Row: Debbie Farag. Margaret McGee. Anne Louise Allen. Sue Krydynski. Kim Ravan. Back Row: Chuck Jones. Christian Williams. Mrs. Peggy Dimling. Dan Grau. Stanford McMillan. How would like to vote on a new bill in the Senate or ammend the Bill of Rights in the House of Representatives? A group of students had such an opportunity at the Princeton Model Congress. Advisors for the group were Mrs. Margaret Dimling and Mrs. Arleen Whitley. The students traveled to Washington, D.C. on December 13 where they attended congressional meetings all day long at the Capitol Hill Hyatt Regency. They even were able to hold some of their meetings in the Dirksen State Building. The objective of Model Congress was to get a bill or resolution that they drafted passed in both houses. The delegates spent many long hours researching and writing their bills. Each student was assigned to a House or Senate committee, and they made up a bill or resolution which pertained to their committee. The four day stay in Washington was not all work and no play. They found time to tour the White House, go on the FBI tour, and have lunch with a Supreme Court Justice. They also visited Senator Ernest Hollings’s office and toured the Capitol. A walk across the Memorial Bridge to the Vietnam Memorial completed their sightseeing. Another visitor to Washington was Dan Grau. As a delegate to the Fourth Congressional Classroom, he attended briefings and seminars on current issues; lunched with members of Congress; toured Arlington National Cemetery, the Supreme Court, the FBI and more. All this was accomplished in just four days, June 12-16. Randall T. Elliot's seminar on terrorism, a lecture by the President's economic advisor Norman J. Ornstein, and the FBI tour were Dan’s favorite activities. Getting first-hand knowledge of how the government works from behind the scenes was one of the most rewarding aspects.” reported Dan. Anyone with an interest in government should take advantage of this opportunity. It was a unique learning experience.” As Senate pages for Senator Strom Thurmond, Dwight Hood. Sue Krydnyski, and David Fisgus worked long hours filing, typing, running errands, photo copying materials, and sending press releases. They reported to the Capitol Page School by 6:10 A.M. for two hours of studying and the reported to Thurmond’s office at 9:00. Weekends and other free time was spent sight-seeing, touring, and shopping. Sue worked in May. Dwight in September, and David in December. Sue remarked, Working in Senator Thurmond’s office was a great experience. The work was sometimes monotonous. but the month was the best of my life! Working as a page gave us the opportunity to learn about politics and have fun at the same time.” l72 S«?nior$ BEN LUTHER CROMER French Club 2. 3; FCA 3. 4: Norse News 4: Golf 3. 4: Della Pi 4.

For many, though, there is one major problem.- communicating in a foreign language. Melissa Fleming and Courtney Uhler were able to spend some of their summer in foreign countries in order to speak and better understand their languages. Many consider such courses as A.P. Calculus or A.P. Chemistry the toughest classes at Spartan High. Actually, a foreign language course may be the hardest class one can take. It takes years to learn how to fluently speak a foreign language. Melissa and Courtney participated in foreign language study tours. Melissa spent six weeks in Quebec. Canada, during July and August studying the French language with 65 other high school students. The objective of this six week study program was to be able to understand and speak native French. The 65 students, all of which were Canadian except for Melissa, roomed in dorms at Quebec's Y.W.C.A. The students attended classes 5 days a week. Melissa said, At first I couldn’t understand anything, but now I feel I can have a decent French conversation.” However, since Melissa stayed in the Y.W.C.A. rather than a private home, she feels she doesn’t know how the French actually live. Every Saturday the students went as a group on field trips to various sights. Melissa’s favorite place was the city of Montreal. Melissa summed up her trip by saying. ”1 had a great time, and I made a lot of good friends but I spent too much of my money on foodl” Courtney Uhler was also able to participate in foreign language study tour in France. Courtney decided to apply for the study tour program to improve her French. After being accepted, Courtney spent 5 weeks in France with 19 other students, ages 15-18. from the Philips Exeter Academy of New Hampshire. It didn’t help at all to know the French language when Courtney Uhler met the Grim Reaper. Richie Sanders, on Homecoming costume day. “natives” The students were housed in international student centers and private family homes. Four of the five weeks were spent learning and living” French. Classes were held five days a week which concentrates on French culture, economy, and the language itself. Courtney said that the most difficult thing they studied was French drama. The group of students put on a play in front of an audience of French, townspeople. Courtney commented, It was fun. but it’s a lot of work to memorize English lines, much less French lines!” The group spent their final week in Paris. After four weeks of total immersion in French, the students were excited to talk to some other Americans in the city. Courtney said. Paris was the best part of the whole tour. There were so many things to see and do that you could not possibly see everything in seven days. The food and shopping were excellent.” 176 Seniors BARBARA GENTRY PHILIP LEE GEORGE Band 2.

PSAT . . . what different shapes and forms these tests come in. Are these tests necessary? Most students, like Kim Poteat, took the SAT because it was required for college admission. Others took them because they wanted to see what were their weak subjects. Even though the tests were important, some students believed that too much pressure to do well was placed on the students. As a result, some didn’t do as well as they would like to have done. Others objected to having to get parent permission if they chose not to attend the optional PSAT and SAT help sessions. Most students agreed that the best way to prepare for tests such as the SAT and the BSAP was to be knowledgeable about the test format, get a good night's sleep, and according to junior Terrie Hagler. to attend the help sessions that the school has for the students.” Students also agreed that the best times to take the test were at the end of the junior year and or at the beginning of the senior year. Even though most students may not have liked to take standardized tests, they will continued to do so because they had to in order to get into college. Surprisingly, some students thought that more tests should have been given for college admission. Senior Joey Huffman said that more tests should have been given because Some students just simply do better in subject areas other than math and English, the two catagories on the SAT.” He felt students who excelled in science or social studies, for instance, didn’t get a fair chance to prove their scholarship abilities. Hundreds of students gather outside the library prior to the administering of the SAT. Most college bound students can look forward to this experience at least once during their high school career. To help students earn a better score on the PSAT and SAT. teachers like Mr. John Burger stayed after school to familiarize participants with the test format and review math facts. Director of Guidance. Mr. Tom Moore Craig helps sign in and direct students who registered to take the SAT in the Spartan High library. SHS serves as a regular testing site for the SAT and NTE.

HICKLIN Carolina finally wins at Death Valley To most people Thanksgiving holidays mean turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. But in South Carolina, more important is the choice of orange and white or garnet and black; Clemson or Carolina? November 24, 1984 saw the eighty-second meeting of the rival football teams, the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Clemson Tigers. Both groups traveled to Clemson's Death Valley stadium to cheer their teams to victory. For the past four years, the Clemson Tigers have defeated the USC Gamecocks. Flowever, this year the tables were turned, and Carolina won 22-21. Clemson fan Hallie Dennis said, Sure I was disap- pointed, but once in five years isn't too bad!” When asked about Carolina’s victory, Julie Anderson exclaimed, Flow 'Bout them Cocks?” Even the loss to an inferior Navy team, which cost the Gamecocks an Orange Bowl bid, did not bother USC fans much because the game that really counted was the show-down with Clemson. With the best record of any football season came a chance to play Oklahoma State in the Gator Bowl. Unfortunately for Gamecock fans, USC came out short on points at the end of the game. The year will be remembered most, however, for the victory at Death Valley. True Clemson fans did not turn away from their team even though the football season was a disappointment. Because Carolina had its best season ever, it was a particularly rough year on the Tigers. Sophomores Carla Bell and Russell Smith were still brave enough to announce their support by wearing Clemson shirts on jersey day. 180 Seniors FRANCINA AMANIEL HIGGINS Black History 2. 3. A.

Being creative during her lunch break, Juanita Lee-Bey finds an unusual use for her pineapple rings. She is one of many students who enjoyed the cafeteria courtyard during warm weather. 182 Scniors Christianity 4 Voodoo 0 Have you ever wanted to help some under privileged people in a foreign country? Well, four students from Spartan High did just that this past summer. Alicia Mattison, Randy Orders, Leigh Ann Harris, and Brian Tate all traveled to Haiti this past summer to build a Christian church for the citizens of Bois blanc, a small, poverty-stricken village in Haiti. They all said they had fun, and Leigh Ann Harris commented, It teaches you to appreciate things you have at home. The trip changed me a lot, and I want to go again. Each of the four people who signed up to go on the trip had to pay one hundred dollars and their church. First Presbyterian, paid the rest. They few to Miami where they joined two other groups from Florida to go to Haiti. About seventy kids worked on the building of the Church and strong friendships were formed during this time. The group wanted to build the Church to keep voodoo from becoming more powerful than Christianity in Haiti. As Alicia Mattison stated. We saw a lot of voodoo temples around Bois blanc while we were sightseeing. The group got to do a lot of sightseeing while they were in Haiti, but it was also a lot of work. They had to get up at 4:45 A.M. and be in Bois blanc by 7:30 A.M. They finished work at 2:00 P.M. and had the rest of the afternoon off to see such interesting things as the Iron Market, which is like a huge market, and Tiona Beach, which is a gorgeous, private beach in Haiti. These students enjoyed their summer while serving others in the true Christian spirit.

An open mind helps For most teachers, just to have time away from their students is vacation enough. However. this was not the case with French teacher Miss Betty Carver; she took a trip to Europe. The sights she truly enjoyed were The Acropolis in Athens-, the Alps of Austria-, Michelangelo's David” in Florence-, and, of course, Paris. When Miss Carver was asked to select one place as her absolutle favorite, her reply was, Being a French teacher, I am partial to France, of course. Paris is beautiful; so is the Riviera (Southern Coast), but for sheer beauty it would be hard to top Salzburg, Austria, where The Sound of Music was filmed.” The only word that sufficiently describes France is diverse. For such a relatively small country, it has all kinds of scenery — mountains, beaches, forests, rocky coasts, and a wide range of climates and peoples. One thing that irritated Miss Carver was the actions of the people. In some parts of Europe especially, Greece and Italy, the people seemed much less organized and orderly than we are. They paid no attention to traffic lights or signs, and they didn't believe in waiting in line for service; they just pushed and shoved.” When asked what extra she would have liked to take, she unhesitatingly replied, More money!” One thing she recommended to future travellers was, Don't go to Europe and expect things to be as they are in U.S.A. Some differences are inconvenient, but all are interesting. Keep an open mind.” 186 Seniors CHRISTY RENA MARTIN H.R. Pres. 3. 4; Spanish Club 2.

Mastering those bits and bytes The computer age has even come to SAGA. Yearbook copy, captions, and the index were prepared for printing with the aid of an Apple lie. Cindy Reagan types some feature copy for the senior section. Having computers are now considered a luxury, but in the future they will probably be considered a necessity. Freddie Hardy said, I think that computers will be a necessity for everyone in the future. They will be needed to make life easier for people in that they would do cumbersome and repititious tasks such as sorting through millions of checks a day. He stated further, Computers can help a person learn because of the software programs for pre-schoolers, and because they help to make you think logically if you program them. Everyone could use a computer because you really don't have to know any programming at all to use the software you can get. Penny Mitterling said that she used her computer for games, and computer math assignments. I also use a phone modem to talk to others with this piece of equipment. Banks find them helpful also. It seems that everything that has been put on computers is easier to handle than paperwork.” Joe Raffo used his computer for writing essays and organizing things faster and easier. He said, People don't realize that computers are more good than the trouble they produce. A computer is a machine with a bunch of circuits that does things faster than humans.” Anne Romine used her computer with an SAT preparatory disk. I have learned much from it, she claimed. Courtney Smith felt that Taking a computer course in high school should soon be required mainly for the student’s own benefit in the future. The computer field has become so immense and the possibility of acquiring a job without any background of computers is quickly declining. Although many people are still reluctant to give the computer a try, anyone who has played” at all with one becomes a convert. Too many still think only of games when they think of personal computers. The possibilities for students and teachers to benefit from computers in education are immeasurable. SHS is luckier than most schools in that computers are available to students in math, science, data processing, and in the library; but even here we’ve only uncovered the tip of the iceberg. 190 Seniors MARTY WAYNE PARKER VONEMALY PATHAMMAVONG French Club 4.

Once again. Spartan High led the state in the number of National Merit Semifinalists and boasted a large number of National Merit Commanded. National Achievement Semifinalists and Commended students. National Merit Semifinalists had good things to say about almost all aspects of the school program. Anne Loiuse Allen noted that even though the school is one of the largest in the state, close friendships are possible. She also appreciated the large number of clubs and extra-curricular activities available because of the school's size. Bruce Bell commented that there are a number of Advanced Placement courses available in the curriculum, and that SHS students have excellent opportunities to gain college credit for high school work. The faculty was credited with doing an exceptional job of preparing students for AP testing in the spring. As always this year, all the changes brought about by the Educational Improvement Act affected these scholars too. While regretting that some of the good things, like time to visit out-of-state colleges, was certainly shortened with the stricter attendance rules, the students were grateful for the additional funding that paid for the advanced placement tests that had previously cost individual students $40 per test. Hard work and dedication are no less important in academics than athletics. Keeping up their GPR’s was no accident for these students. It is important to note, however, that homework is not the only thing that occupied their time. All of the scholars were involved in music, art, athletic, clubs, or church activities. All felt that although academics are important, a well-rounded education included service and social endeavors as well.

Back Row: Jeff Williams. Michael Brown. Stacy Stevens. Jamie Sanders. Bill Newcomb. David Norman. Not pictured: Lisa Jones. David Conway. Who would go to school in the summer if they didn’t have to? 12 SHS students did. They spent 5 weeks of their summer at Furman University going to school. They all attended the Governor’s School for the Arts. From June 24 to July 28 they learned many different traits. Creative Writing was studied by Michael Brown. Georgi Jones and John Brunelli went for theatre and Renee Marler attended for music. Those who went from the art department were: Tim Buss. Debbie Hendrix, Lisa Jones. Bill Newcomb. David Norman. Jamie Sanders. Stacy Stevens, and Jeff Williams. The majority felt that Governor’s School was a lot of hard work, an experience never to be forgotten, and a whole lot of fun. Each morning students were up at 6:30 A.M. to start their daily activities. Most of the day was spent in class, but after class they could do whatever they pleased. Many students went swimming, some sunbathed, and tennis was a sport enjoyed by all. Not every day was spent in the classroom learning. Continuing in their study, they went to Atlanta to the High Museum of Art. Another activity was going to the Brevard Music Center to the opera. Here they saw a presentation of MDon Giovanni.” Tim Buss said To make it in visual arts, you not only have to have a piece of talent, but a lot of creativity.” July 28 came and so did the tears. During the 5 weeks of study, many close friendships were made. In most everyone’s opinion, this time away from home was an experience. John Brunelli commented about his experience. ’ Along with learning a lot about developing a character and interacting with other actors, I learned that you don’t wash white clothes with sweat pants.” 194 Seniors DOROTHY SMITH KEITHLYN MONZELLA SMITH N.

Seven bright, talented students at Spartan High did just this at Governor's School. Those who attended were Irene Trakas, Margaret McKee. Jane Taylor. Shelia Myers, Andrew Ellis. Bruce Bell, and Lisa Johnson. Getting into this program took a lot of hard work and plenty of smarts. First, about ten students were nominated by the teachers as governor’s school nominees. Secondly, an application had to be filled out by each nominee consisting of writing about five or six essays plus general information. After these applications were sent in. those accepted received acceptance letters in the mail. Irene Trakas replied, I really had no idea I would be accepted; I about flipped out when I got my acceptance letter in the mail.” Each student participated in a subject concentration course, such as Advanced Computer Science, Marine Biology, Introduction to Soviet Culture, and Chemistry. Then there is a Global Issues course which everyone is also required to take part in. Classes were three times a week for about four hours a day, which also consisted of lectures and movies which were mandatory. The other two week days were spent on field trips like going to a monastery, a marine base and a ferry boat ride. Weekends were spent going to the beach, going to movies, attending a talent show, a Governor's School Pagent in which the guys dressed up like girls, mascarade ball, and a formal. Recreational activities were endless,” says Irene Trakas, We had a sports tournament every week.” Tennis, volleyball, swimming, basketball were a few of the many activities available to the Governor's School attendants. Out of about 230 students attending Governor’s School from all over the state, many new friends were made. Andrea Ellis commented, I'm spending the first weekend in November with a girl from Orangebury that I met at Governor's School.” GOVERNOR'S SCHOOL PARTICIPANTS: Front Row: Lisa Johnson. Andrea Ellis.

Well, four students from Spartan High did just that this past summer. Alicia Mattison. Randy Orders, Leigh Ann Harris, and Brian Tate all traveled to Haiti to build a Christian church for the citizens of Bois blanc. a small, poverty-stricken village in Haiti. They all said they had fun, and Leigh Ann Harris commented. It teaches you to appreciate things you have at home. The trip changed me a lot, and I want to go again. Each of the four people who signed up to go on the trip had to pay one hundred dollars; and their church, First Presbyterian. paid the rest. They flew to Miami, where they joined two other groups from Florida, before going on to Haiti. About seventy kids worked on the building of the Church, and strong friendships were formed during this time. The group wanted to build the Church to keep voodoo from becoming more powerful than Christianity in Haiti. As Alicia Mattison stated. We saw a lot of voodoo temples around Bois blanc while we were sightseeing. The group got to do a lot of sightseeing while they were in Haiti, but it was also a lot of work. They had to get up at 4:45 A.M. and be in bois blanc by 7:30 A.M. They finished work at 2:00 P.M. and had the rest of the afternoon off to see such interesting things as the Iron Market, which is like a huge market} and Tiona Beach, which is a gorgeous, private beach in Haiti.

Clay Boswell does his part to deliver the flame from Athens to Los Angeles. An Olympic tradition Have you ever dreamed of being in the Olympics? Well. Clay Boswell is a junior who had the chance to make at least part of that dream come true. Boswell, a member of the Spartanburg High Cross Country team, carried the Olympic Torch this past May in Andrews. NC. He carried the torch one kilometer in five minutes to carry on the ancient Olympian tradition which began in 776 BC. Clay was selected from a group of about one hundred area athletes in a drawing held at the YMCA. The Olympic Torch Run was sponsored by AT T, which sold kilometers for three thousand dollars a piece. Clay was chosen in a random drawing from a group of athletes who could run a mile in under seven minutes. After Clay was picked as the runner, he went to a meeting where he picked up his torch. The flame was passed from runner to runner across the country on its way to Los Angeles for the 1984 summer games. Each runner got to keep his torch. When asked if he had any future plans to run in the Olympics Clay replied. Not realisticly. but I hope to.” He also said that the Olympic Torch Run will mean more to him as time passes, and he considered the carrying of the torch an honor which he won't soon forget. Looking at his souvenir torch before parents. Clay's section of the run was his run. Clay Boswell displays it for his in North Carolina.

According to Daniel Ahern, The job consists mainly of handing out brochures in different suburbs. and giving out bumper stickers at football games and other functions. However, one student. Tripp Johnson said. It’s not very hard work, but it’s a lot of work. One day I worked from 10.30 in the morning ’til 1000 at night. We traveled from Cowpens to Landrum, then on to Pacolet and Boiling Springs. You benefit by meeting a lot of people. Whitt Vin-esett agreed, I had a pretty good time, but it’s a lot of work. Most of the students who participated had been working since last July or August, and found politicians very thankful for the job they were doing. Chris Patterson commented about Carroll Campbell. He’s a real nice guy; he’s even come up before to shake our hands and compliment us. Patterson concludes, I think campaigning is great, and now I’m even interested in going into politics myself.” Workers for Carroll Campbell were delighted with their candidate’s big win in the November election. Greeting football fans as they arrive at Wofford's Snyder Field. Tripp Johnson passes out campaign literature and _ bumper stickers for Congressman Carroll Campbell.

Although the state provides transportation for students. still about 650 students drive to school, reported Coach Ralph Voyles. who is- sued parking passes and is in charge of the parking areas. Many students enjoyed their cars because they got them to and from where they wanted to go. when they wanted to go. Bill Turrentine said that his car helped him get to and from basketball practices, and it was useful on the weekends for dates. Travis Green said that his car helped get him to and from football practices. Bill and Travis agreed that cars can be very useful to athletes or anyone who wanted to participate in after school activities. What about those students that weren't staying after school for athletics, band practice, or club events? Vickie Barham enjoyed her car because she got to go more places, and it transported her to and from school. Chris Hodge used his car for business and pleasure. He de- livered papers early each morning in his car and went out on the weekends. However. Students should realize the responsibility of owning a car.” stated Vickie Barham. Vicky said, Students must count the cost such as gas, car payments, insurance, taxes, and upkeep of the car.” Many students took some of the cost burden off themselves by taking turns carpooling. Chris shared Vickie’s view when he said, There are a lot of responsibilities and expenses that come with a car. but it is well worth it.” Ending a long day at school. Bobby Pugh and Todd Justice prepare to go home. Wonder how these sophomores got into the parking lot!

Gold, and more Gold. Gold medals, — silver medals, — bronze medals were included in the total number of medals won by the US Olympic team this past summer in Los Angeles. One of our students. Linney Little, had the privilege of attending the 1984 Olympic games while on vacation. When asked if the Russian boycott affected the Olympic games, Linney replied. At first everyone thought that the Russian boycott might keep other Communist Block countries from entering, but as time went on the Olympics were proven a big success. However. David Johnston had a different view; I feel that the number of gold medals didn’t signify how good the US Olympic team really is because of the Russians not being present. People can always say we wouldn’t have done so well if we had had to compete with them. Another interesting feature of the Olympic Games was the price of the tickets. The price of basketball and baseball tickets were $30 each and boxing was $90. However, all tickets weren’t so reasonable. Gymnastics tickets were a surprising $110 each, and the opening ceremony tickets were an unbelievable $800 each. The most watched events according to Jamey Amick, Linney Little, and David Johnston were the basketball, baseball, and volleyball games. Despite the Russian boycott and the expensive tickets; the overall memory of the Olympics, according to Jamey Amick. was that it was a big success.

This dream became a reality for Richard Sprouse, a bright, talented junior. Richard plays the lead guitar for the exciting new band. Sound Storm. Sound Storm usually plays for teenage crowds at places such as skating rinks and private parties, but they have also performed at bars. They play a variety of music, but mostly heavy metal. Richard commented, We make about $200 a place we play, but we have played for free to get publicity. Although this sounds like much fame and fortune, the band puts many long, hard hours at practice in each week. School work has never been a major problem for Richard, but there have been some conflicts. Although I am very dedicated to the band, right now school is my first prior-ity. When asked what his plans are for the future, Richard replied, I would like to be in a professional, famous band and maybe do some rock videos. Even with the long hours practicing with the band and piles of homework. Richard still finds time to teach guitar lessons at Express Music. Richard was recommended for this job by his former guitar teacher. His students range from ages twelve to sixteen. Performing at his best. Richard Sprouse and Sound Storm perform at the Fall Arts Festival held in September.

Jammin’ Juniors Being a junior is like being a middle child. The juniors are a step above the sophomores, but still below the seniors!!!! Many students find their junior year to be their hardest academic year. Most colleges pay close attention to the junior year of college bound students to see what kind of grades they have. Junior Cheryl Means commented. I did not realize how much I would have to crack down as far as grades are concerned, but at least I’m not a sophomore!” Some Juniors felt more comfortable about being a student at a big school like SHS. It usually takes a couple of weeks for the sophomores to become familiar with the routine here. Junior Chris Weed said, ”1 like being a Jammin’ Junior. The idea of already having been here a year, but not having to worry about graduating, makes my junior year great.” Alecia Norman 10 Roger O’Connell I I Tracey O’Connor 10 Kathy O’Donnell 10 David Oglesby 10 Steven Oliver 10 Suzanne Ongemach I I Brian Oost 10 Da Or 10 Missy Oran I I Dee Dee Owens 10 Kimberly Owens I I Mike Owensby I I Steffan Oxenrider 10 Annette Pabellon 10 Danny Packard 10 Scott Panther 10 Gordon Parker 10 Susan Parker 10 Chris Patterson I I Kim Patterson I I Norman Payne I I Rodney Payden I I Sabrena Pearson I I Herman Peeler 10 Betsy Peninger 10 Calvin Pennington I I John Pesaro 10 Darren Peterson 10 Terry Peterson I I Kelly Petoskey 10 Emily Pettit 10 Chuck Petty 10 Janet Petty I I Scooter Phillips 10 Darryl Pierce 10 Undercla$$men 2I3 Bryan Pittman 10 Ame Pollard 10 Amy Ponder 10 Stacey Pope 10 Jodie Poteat I I Laura Poteat I I Warren Poteat 11 Darren Powell 11 Elaine Powell I I Tim Powell I I John Price I I Scott Price 10 Tracey Price 10 David Prince I I Anita Pringle I I Tracey Pringle 11 Heather Prochaska 10 Ann Pruett 10 Kenny Pruitt I I Mike Pryor 10 Teresa Puckett 10 Bobby Pugh 10 Don Putnam 10 Doug Pye 11 Will Pye 10 Daniel Ouattlebaum 10 Alex Quinn 10 Mark Quinn 10 Chris Raines 11 Constantine Ramantamin I I Teens learn about chemical abuse Working toward her goals to help other teens be more knowledgable about alcohol and drug abuse does not involve all of Beth Glasgow’s time. She took time to help the senior class build their Homecoming float. Everyone knows that summer camp has always been the place to go when you need to get away from your parents during the vacation months. Most camps are centered around sports, talents, or just a variety of activities. This past summer a new kind of camp was started in Florence, SC. Mr. Jim Mancke got a group of S.H.S. students together to attend a camp of drug and alcohol abuse awareness with other SC teens. The students, Beth Glasgow, Reed Russell, Tracy Manatis, and Peaches Smith, attended The Teen Institute program for five days in July. These students devoted a week of their summer to this program not because they have drug and alcohol abuse problems, but because they wanted to learn more about the abuse of drugs and alcohol among teens. Classes were offered each day. Not all the classes were concerned with drug and alcohol abuse; other elective classes were offered too. Peaches Smith found herself in music classes, while Tracy Manatis attended aerobic dance classes. Peaches ran for a region office on The Teen Institute Committee of South Carolina while at the camp. A hard week of campaigning paid off, because Peaches is now Greenville-Spartanburg representative to The Teen Institute. Peaches is one of the organizers of the new school club Speak Easy along with Beth. Reed, and Tracy. Their idea for this club came from their experiences at the summer institute. With the help of the camp advisers, each high school was able to set goals for themselves. The SHS group’s objective was to begin a club at Spartan High which will present information to teens on the effects of drug and alcohol. This would be different than other clubs in that teens themselves would present the information. Thus the forming of Speak Easy. Beth Glasgow summed up the week by saying, ”1 think it was a great learning experience in a fun environment. All encouraged other students to take part in future teen drug institutes. 214 Underclassmen Vuthy Rath 10 Kim Ravan 10 Jami Reaves 10 Kristina Rentzsch I I Stuart Reynolds 10 Iris Rhinehart 10 Kimberly Rhodes I I Maurice Rhodes 10 Reggie Rice I I Jeannette Riddle I I Polly Ridgeway I I Robert Riemensnider 10 Melinda Riley I I Villette Roberson I I Marion Roberts 10 Tina Robertson 11 Stephanie Robinson 10 Uronia Robinson 10 Brian Rogers 10 Mitchell Rogers 10 Anne Romine I I Becky Ross I I Debra Ross 10 James Ross 10 John Ross 10 Kimberly Ross I I Gina Rossi 10 Missy Rowland I I Trey Ruff 10 Reed Russell 10 Craig Sanders I I Lynn Sanders I I Mary Ann Sanders 10 Rita Sandes I I Julia Sanford 10 Bunlam Sangaasree 10 Robert Sargent 10 Claudine Sartor I I Jerry Sawborn 10 Stephanie Scaglione I I Katrine Scavillo 10 Dana Schaefer 10 Andrew Schoen I I Mary Schoen 10 Chris Scott 10 Tim Scruggs 10 Suzannah Seastrunk 10 Carolyn Senn 10 David Seregue 10 Khamphane Settharath I I Thomas Seymour 10 Donna Shands I I Dana Shell 10 Daun Sherbert 10 Undercla$$men 2I5 Ray Sherbert 10 Ken Siegel I I Frances Simmons 10 Melissa Simmons 10 Todd Simmons 10 Glennis Simpson 10 Angela Sims I I Robert Sims I I Lee Simuel I I Andre Singleton 10 Charlotte Sisk 10 Lora Sizemore I I Tricia Skelton 10 Robin Smart I I Anita Smith 11 Reth Smith 10 Bridget Smith I I Doug Smith 10 Faye Smith 10 Jacqueline Smith 10 James Smith I I Lamilia Smith 10 Laura Smith 10 Mary Smith I I Melody Smith 10 Michael Smith 10 Pamela Smith 10 Patricia Smith I I Russell Smith 10 Shannon Smith 10 Shirley Smith 11 Sonya Smith 10 Stephanie Smith 10 Michelle Solesby 10 Carol Spann I I Travis Spencer 10 Richard Sprouse 11 Lisa Stacy 10 Shelly Stavely 10 Tonya Stephens I I Jeff Stevens 10 Terry Stevens 10 April Stewart 10 David Stokes 10 Eric Stoots 10 Liz Stretcher I I Craig Strickler 10 Latonia Stripling 10 Patricia Stripling 10 Debra Sullivan 10 Kelli Swanson I I Patrick Swanson I I Eric Swart 11 Bryant Swinson 10 216 Underclassmen A summer at college Getting some help with his latest computer program. Steve Cheng looks on as Mr. Jay Jeter gives his advice. Spend the summer catching the sun rays, seeing the latest movies, or just having a good time? Ever think of cracking a book? Mark Harris, Chris Hodge, and Steve Cheng enjoyed their summer attending classes, doing homework, and living in a dormitory. Mark Harris studied anatomy, physiology, and American foreign policy at Davidson College. Chris Hodge attended International Simulation. Shroud of Turen, Ballistic Missiles, and Pilot Performance at the summer science seminar at the Air Force Academy. Steve Cheng studied physics and calculus at Carnegie-Mel-lon Institute in Pittsburgh. No, the atmosphere at Davidson was such that you had to study. This was Mark Harris’s comment on whether studying was hard during the summer. Both Mark Harris and Steve Cheng had alloted times for classes and required times for studying, while Chris Hodge’s classes lasted one whole day each. In Chris’s Pilot Performance class he was lucky enough to pilot at T-41. Mark’s outside activities included a research assignment for his anatomy class. Chris Hodge felt dorm life was great; It was a chance to meet people from every state.” All agreed that it was a experience without families around and an opportunity to test independence. At the end of the Davidson program, Mark Harris received a High Pass in American Foreign Policy and an Honors in Anatomy. Chris Hodge was given an Award of Training, usually received by cadets at the Academy. Steve Cheng earned seven semester hours of college credit. It was worth every minute, including the work.” Steve Cheng described Mark Harris’s, Chris Hodge’s and his feelings about their college experience in the summer.

What? ISS for having food or drink in the lobby? I didn't know that.” ISS, which stands for inschool suspension, is a common punishment for minor offenses committed by high school students. When put in ISS, you do not go to homeroom or any other classes your assigned day assignments are sent to you. and they must be completed by the end of the day. You are allowed one bathroom pass in the morning and one in the afternoon; lunch period is in between the two regular lunches-, and you may not eat. drink, sleep, or talk while in the classroom. When Junior Beth Mew-shaw was asked how she felt about being in ISS for one day she said, I have never been so bored in my life, becuase I finished all my assignments like mega-fast. After that totally uncool day. I have reformed myself, and encourage others to stay out of trouble!” Anne Romine's view on her one day in ISS was different. To me it was really a total blast, because I was about two weeks behind in all my studies and being in ISS gave me a chance to catch up.” Well known juveniel delinquent Paige Hucks was asked the reason for her being in ISS, she replied, I was stupid enough to skip school with a person who had already missed too many days and got caught, so I was caught also. I guess it was just bad luck, but I still had a major party and I highly recommend it.” However, all students are not as complimentary about ISS. Remember, the students who are in ISS are paying for something they did wrong. To some, though, the risks they take are worth the consequences. Paige Hucks sums it up. In my case, it was worth it!” Kevin Williams I I Meredith Williams I I Phillip Williams I I Trina Williams 10 Karen Willis I I Sheila Wilson 10 Rich Winkler I I Pamela Wofford 10 Robert Wolfe 10 Greg Womick I I Angel Woodruff 10 Josette Woodruff I I Ruth Ann Wooton I I Charley Worley I I Robert Worley 10 Lee Worthy 10 Todd Worthy I I Merri Wright I I Bryan Wyatt 10 Donnie Wykel 10 Michelle Wynn 10 Tracy Wynn 10 Autry Yonce 10 Richael Yuskis 10 John Young 10 Kim Young 10 Kim Young I I Mark Young 10 Tami Young I I Claire Youngblood 10 Rishi Zaveri 10 Janet Zimmerman I I U nder c la s $men 319 BOARD OF TRUSTEES: Front Row: Mrs. Peggy Romine.

This year the faculty and staff increased by the largest number ever, including new teachers, new administrators, and new office personnel. Many of these new teachers faced the usual pranks played by students who were out ot see just how strict these new teachers were. The pranksters found that the new teachers would not tolerate ignorance and pranks. The teachers respected those students who worked hard and showed effort, just like any other teacher. As the school year progressed students found that these new teachers are not so bad after all,” commented Mike Manatis. As the year progressed, these new teachers and administrators learned the ropes.” The teachers seemed to be pleased with their new positions at this model school, and they all look forward to returning next year. Said Ms. Julie McCraw, I like teaching at SHS; it is very satisfying to me. The students are very pleasurable, and I did not have any difficult situations with them.” The faculty for the ’84-’85 school year was carefully chosen and the results were rewarding. The new staff provided a fresh faces with new ideas on how to improve their various fields. The new staff benefitted both the school and the students. The new teachers passed their first year with the usual heckling and hard work load. However, they survived very well and students can look forward to seeing most of them again next year.

So small and frail you were, yet that smile had a way Of seeping through the seemingly desolate days And scattering us with bits of sunlight that always seemed to Urge us on to our next goal. Your meekness overpowered our hearts with love, compassion And empathy for every man; While your frankness instilled in us the wisdom to beware Of anything in life to easily obtained. What must we the remaining do? We dare not despair, for that was not your weekness. We must go on as you would have forged ahead had it been God’s will. How much a tragedy of life it seems; That we must move on. braced by the strength you left us. Yet we all know that this is what you would have expected Of us. Certainly there will be days when we will recall your smile. Your voice, your will and it is then that we will find ourselves Faced with the decision of answering your call to life Or forsaking the act of living the good example. Yes; we must help one another as you have helped each of us. My only prayer is that we will have your strength. That you may look down on us and again bring light to our Darker hours. God bless you Margaret and I trust his coming to meet you Was in the gentle way you always met those you loved. May he grant you the peace you have given others — Free from all harm — Until we meet again. On Thursday. November 15, 1984, Miss Margaret Harrill died of a heart attack while in Rutherfordton Hospital in North Carolina. Miss Harrill had been teaching math in North and South Carolina for 79 years.

Ads can be purchased as an eighth, fourth, half or a full page at $35, $50, $75, or $150 respectively.” In this way, the SAGA staff went to school organizations and businesses in the community to help finance the book. It is the support of these contributors that makes SAGA a reality. No school funds are used to cover the printing or photography costs. It is up to each staff to raise enough funds through advertising and selling the yearbook to turn great ideas into a finished product. The continuing support of past contributors along with new additions, especially the homeroom and club ads, that give SAGA a CONSTANTLY CHANGING” face. Each year local businesses. school clubs and organizations, personal patrons and friends support the production of SAGA through their advertisements. Brand names of products symbolize the ad section. 226 Ads Division Amenta FRIGIDAIRE Admiral. ADMIRAL Honkr e mark o' outn throughout t h ( ■ o r i o W electric -Hutpoint ELECTRIC ++ TjtpxrLrdr A.

Proposing a new cafeteria addition for SHS, the architect's representative displays a rendering of the plans. Trustees meet monthly to handle all aspects of running one of the largest school systems in the state. Community Trustee approve cafe renovations Cafeteria renovations were among the topics discussed by the District 7 Board of Trustees at their October and November meetings. Preliminary plans for renovating the cafeteria were approved November 6. This renovation, according to the Board, would involve enclosing the courtyard between the present cafeteria and the old student center and making the entire area one large room. The roof will not be flat, but similar to the Jesse Boyd Elementary library, which was one of the requirements.” said the architect’s representative.

Spartan High students won recognition for many of their entrees in the exhibit competition at the Piedmont Interstate Fair. These catagories included photography. drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media. The end of a log pile, a reflection of a motorcyclist, a chain lock on a gate, or even the view looking up from underneath an electrical tower ... do these things sound exciting to you? Regina Dillingham’s photography made them seem extraordinary! She entered four photographs and won four prizes: two first place and two second place. Regina, a senior and chief yearbook photographer, likes black and white photography in which the lighting plays a major part because she can develop and print it herself and be more creative. I can get a more interesting effect with black and white as supposed to color.” Another talented artist who entered the competition at the fair was Lisa Jones. She won two honorable mentions for her self portrait and a print of an abstract of a hallway. Lisa thinks. Competition is important because it gives students encouragement and confidence. It also gives them a chance to make their names familiar to other people.” Tim Buss and Jaime Sanders also entered their work in the fair exhibit. Tim won third place for his drawing and honorable mention for his painting. Jamie won two honorable mentions for his drawing and painting. David Norman and Stacy Stevens also did well. David won first in mixed media as well as the whole Sweepstakes competition. He also won first in drawing. Stacy Stevens placed third in mixed media and painting and won honorable mention in painting and in drawing. The fair was filled with many different types of people. Spartan High’s very own librarian Mrs. Ada Cunningham attended the House of Flowers. She said, The art exhibit was fascinating! Many of the pictures were so soothing-, I stayed in the House of Flowers for over an hour!” This house not only had flowers, but also displays of table settings, house plants, and Christmas arrangements. The fair was also filled with Civinettes. As one of their community service projects, they took the retarded citizens of Cannon Manor to the Fair. It was a rewarding experience for the Civinettes and a special evening for the residents of Cannon Manor. Huge crowds enjoyed the attractions along the midway of the Piedmont Interstate Fair. Agricultural and art exhibits, decorating exhibits, and stock car races also drew spectators' attention.

Teachers and parents participated in the once a semester open house” P.T.A. meetings in hopes of explaining and learning more of what the students learn; bringing the parents and the teachers together. Many parents informed us the reason they felt it important to attend these meetings was to see what the school is doing and to meet the ones responsible for their children’s education. I think it’s important to attend these meetings because it shows interest in your child’s performance,’’ one parent replied. Teachers, not only concerned with knowing the students in their classes, were also interested in the parents. They felt it provided a link or means of communication between the two. I just wish more parents would show up. and that we had more times each period with them’’. Mrs. Ann Stockman, English teacher, announced. Fortunately, parents said teachers agreed very much with the idea and format of the Open House P.T.A. meetings. Even though the time in each classroom was short and parents’ getting lost in the hallway maze caused some frustration, neither parents nor teachers wish to see open house nights abandoned.

September 28. This was the scene for Greek Night. The event was open to the public — cost per person was $20.00. The festivities began at 8 P.M. and ended at midnight. The Interact Club of Spartanburg High School had to serve all of the food. Everyone ate while the Greeks danced. The food was fantastic!” was Nancy Price’s opinion. They served Suflaki with Vic and cooked vegetabes. Salad was also enjoyed by the guests. Before the main course, Greek cheese and spinach pastries were served. Baklava was served for desert. In most everyone’s opinion who attended Greek Night, the band was the best. They were called the Aegean’s, and they could play anything from beach music to Greek music. During the Greek dances, the Greeks came off the floor to get everyone from the audience to dance. By the end of the evening, most everyone knew how to dance Greek style. This event is held once a year and every year people look forward to its coming. After it is over, most are ready for the next year to attend Greek Night. Ask anyone who went to Greek Night; they will tell you that. The Greeks know how to do it right!!” (I) Jennifer Kelley. Patrick Armstrong.

These demands came as a result of the South Carolina Education Improvement Act 1984. September brought the first gathering of all students — the Spirit Assembly. Because of the elimination of in-school pep rallies, the senior class promoted their school spirit during this event by chanting Class of 85.” This class competition continued into October with Homecoming. Throughout Homecoming week, classes competed for float competition, spirit spots and class games, but united to cheer the Vikings to victory over Northwestern on Friday night.

The senior class was honored on May 24. by the faculty, staff, underclassmen and parents on Recognition Day. Announcements of scholarships and various academic, athletic, service, attendance, and other awards were heaped on the Class of ’85.
