All students want to be recognized in some way as THE BEST. Principal Joe Delaney may not be a student, but he is a very important part of the school. He received an outstanding award representing the continuing tradition of excellence in our school. Burger King, Delta Airlines, and the national Associated Council of Chief State School Officials sponsored In Honor of Excellence to honor the top principals and teachers in each state. The SC Association of Secondary School Principals named Mr. Delaney its number one principal, thus sending him to Florida as the SC representative. He and 50 others learned how high schools should look to the future in order to get ahead in education. In doing so, a school can find out what needs to be done to be the best in coming years. The conference stressed a school s looking at itself to recognize areas in which it is behind, and then making the needed changes. Mr. Delaney brought these new ideas home and is putting them to work in hopes of keeping our school on top. Ideas are not all he brought home. The sponsors chose Mr. Delaney as one of the two top high school principals in the U.S. He feels that this award is more of an indication of the success of the school than a personal triumph for me. He sees this award as one that should be given to the school as a TM i. named friincifotU in whole. He believes that he is not the only reason the award was presented. Our school has the spotlight on it due to its outstanding record in all areas. John Wolfe Speeches are one aspect of being a principal. At Graduation '86 Mr. Joe Delaney welcomes parents and friends of graduates and congratulates students on attaining their high school diplomas. He said the praise really goes to the teachers and students who perform so well. When one is considering what makes a school the best, It comes down to good teaching, said Mr. Delaney. The faculty and staff have the job of teaching academics as well as instilling ideals in students. This is a truly awesome task. Yet our teachers, coaches, guidance counselors, sponsors, and administrators have managed to develop the best in each of us. When we saw the documentary of TV featuring our outstanding principal, the fact that excellence in leadership brings overall excellence in school becomes even more evident. Senior Cheryl Compton said, The faculty at SHS is the best because they care about the students and about making this a number one school. And so the SAGA of excellence continues . . . i Anne Arbucklc ► The Excellence In Education Award we re ceived In ’82-'83 recognized us in the first group of model schools chosen.

Thus began a year our school rose above the minimum standards set by the Education Improvement Act. Although one does not need to have something new and different to be better than before, our school added everything from new uniforms for the Band and Girls' Tennis Team to a lower teacher-student ratio to keep the excellent traditions established in the past. The movement towards a new on-campus stadium will bring a tremendous advantage and increase atten-danace, morale, and a sense of pride in the student body, said Athletic Director Ray Wilson. This facility can be used for everything from graduation ceremonies to band festivals. Over the summer, the school was taken apart limb by limb to clean every area. The maintenance was in preparation for our ten-year self evaluation study and the evaluation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, noted Mr. Delaney's newsletter. Our twenty-nine year old school is well-kept and has up-to-date equipment and facilities. We are participating in the Pathway Project whose goal is the reduction of clerical tasks. A new computer system in the main office will keep track of homeroom and classroom attendance. Interims and report cards will be issued here instead of through an outside system. These computers can be used to keep up grade point ratios and to print parent addresses for newsletters. New color computers with color printers in the classrooms will prepare students for life in a computer-oriented society. With more terminals in more classes, there will be more hands-on instruction. Computers are being used in math, science, and remedial classes.

Other technological developments are advancing our school towards continued excellence. Included was the microfilming permanent records. Miss Margaret hunter said the new detention hall improves the morale of faculty and staff and allows students to remain in their classes for instruction, further promoting general excellence in the school program. Detention Hall replaced ISS because it is more effective. Indeed Senior Joe Mount, who attended Detention Hall from 3:15 to 5:00 one Friday — said, D.H. is just a harsher form of punishment compared to ISS. With this threat over their heads, students behaved better and had more time to devote to academics, athletics, and clubs. We're always looking at everything we do-we don't sit back and say we have the best program. We constantly evaluate our programs and try to make them better. We are never content, said Mr. Joe Clarke We continually inspect every element of our educational system to stay a step ahead. national Merit Semifinalists for 1986: Front Row: John Ross, Keith Bell, Claude Taylor, John Duncan, Eric Stoots, Jim Earl.

R ju Channa ▲ Peer counselors began the year by giving sage advice to in-coming Sophomores and transfer students during orientation. They helped students read schedules, and they took them on a tour of the buildings. ◄ Summer is the time for enjoying the things there's no time for during the school year. Steve Thrash spent some of his time improving his golf game. From lunch in the courtyard to Prom '86 to Farmer's Day to the parking lot after school each day, students enjoyed talking, partying, cheering, dating, and associating. Through events, activities, and programs during and after school, students continued the tradition of excellence.

Seven hundred students attended the 1986 Junior-Senior Prom, the first prom held at the school since 1969. Many students objected to the location change (from Memorial Auditorium) at first, but changed their minds realizing this meant more money could be spent on the decorations and the band. Students typically began their evening with dinner at Spartanburg's finer restaurants. Tonya Belue and her date doubled as did many couples. Claude Taylor and his date opted for a more private dinner for two. Other couples waited until after the dance to eat dinner. Some, like Kim Young, even attended after-Prom breakfasts at friends' houses. Couples spent anywhere from thirty minutes to three hours at the actual dance. The time was spent talking with friends, getting pictures taken, and dancing to the sounds of Threshold. Opinions of the band varied. Tonya said it was fair. Johnny Howard said they were OK, I just didn't like their selection of music. The Junior Class sponsored the event by spending a total of $4634.62. Ju- John Wolfe nior members of SAC brainstormed to select the theme, and then went through various books to decide on the decorations. The decision to hold the dance in the cafeteria was becausethe newly remodeled room was bigger than the auditorium, was rent-free, and there was no parking fee. Juniors, with the help of faculty members, worked for more than a week on decorations. The Junior-Senior Prom was an important occasion in students' lives. Susan Thompson said, The Prom is a special event because it's reserved just for Juniors and Seniors and their dates. Kim said, It's fun to go and see who's with who. For Seniors, the Prom marked the last big high school event before graduation. John Wolfe ▲ 1986 was the first year that the Junior-Senior Prom was held in the new cafeteria.

The announcement of class valedictorian climaxed Honors Day for the Class of 1986. Honors Day and Graduation were the two big events that ended the high school careers for Se- niors and headed them off to their separate destinies. Honors Day gave Seniors the chance to be recognized for outstanding accomplishments during their years at SHS. Departments, clubs, organizations, and outside groups gave awards for service, scholar- ship, athletics, and other areas of note. Seniors who had already been awarded scholarships from colleges, civic groups, clubs, and businesses were recognized in the program. Recipients of awards presented in earlier ceremonies were also recognized. Previously unannounced awards were presented at the assembly attended by underclassmen, faculty, parents, and guests. Graduation ceremonies for the Class of 1986 were held at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium on June 6, 1986. 526 graduates heard an address by Senior Class President Carol Spann and music performed by the Chorus and Symphony Orchestra. 1987 Senior Curtis Blackley said he liked both ceremonies because they gave Seniors the recognition they deserved and had worked so hard for. Underclassmen looked forward to their senior year as they paid respect to the out-going class. The Honors Day speakers and graduation marshalls, both chosen as honored members of the Junior Class, were enthusiastic about their chances to participate and pay tribute. Speaker Gina Rossi said, I wanted to speak at Honors Day to truly honor the seniors. The ceremony was a good use of our few assemblies because it gave Seniors one last chance to meet as a class at SHS. Marshall Stewart McCut-chen said, It was an honor tobe asked, and it was a great opportunity to see my Senior friends graduate. Graduation's most memorable event varied from person to person. Curtis felt the best part was when all of the graduates threw their caps into the air. Stewart said, The actual presentation of diplomas was the best part because it signified the attainment of an important goal. «Graduation is not the end. it is the beginning of the future.

What kind of school are we talking about? The answer was summer school, held at Carver Junior High. From June 16th to August 11th, students attended school to make up for failed courses or to get ahead in their course of study. Students like Toby Gillespie took P.E. in summer school to get my physical education credits over with so I could take courses that interested me more during the regular school year. Other students had to retake classes they failed to get credit to graduate and improve their GPA. Tammy Byrd said, I did better in summer school because the environment was more relaxed and the level of work seemed easier.'' Heather Prochaska said, Summer school was easier, but 1 wouldn't go back again because it prevented me from leaving Spartanburg at all the whole summer. Other activities of the summer included all kinds of camps and workshops. The SAGA executive staff attended a journalism and photography workshop for a week at USC Columbia. Beth McClure said, The workshop really got the staff, Mrs. Arbuckle, and I psyched for our book! We perfected several areas of it and learned lots too. The staff members that went really got to know each other and that was important. Debbie Drucker said, It was great meeting staffs from other schools and get-ting new ideas. Meg Beaird and Erika Johnson also attended the workshop. Other camp goers included Eric Stoots, John Ross, and Jim Earl who attended the Science Camp at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs with students from the 50 states.

Eric also said, Going to the Academy got me acquainted with the military lifestyle and helped me decide whether or not I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy.

The guidance office had to begin work early. They had to acquire records and schedules for rising Sophomores and put students into homerooms. Credits for rising Juniors and Seniors were evaluated, promotions determined, and schedules checked. Another major activity was planning the assembly for the rising Sophomores and transfer students. At this assembly, Mr. Joe Delaney, Mr. Joe Clarke, and Mr. Larry Moore spoke to students about rules and regulations. Student Body President Reed Russell and Sophomore Principal Miss Margaret Hunter also welcomed the new students. Mr. Tom Moore Craig, Director of Guidance, put an ad in the paper telling students when to come to orientation and what was required of them. Mr. Claude Tidwell said, The whole process worked really smoothly, but a lot of work went into planning orientation. Although the guidance office was busy, others had to help out also. SAC made signs and organized the peer counselors. Service Club members worked at orientation selling I.D.'s, parking permits, handing out schedules, delivering books, and assembling information packets. Peer counselors were in charge of showing the Sophomores and new students where their classes were, telling them about the fun and the pranks from upperclassmen they had in store. Tracy Miller said, I was a peer counselor just for the prestige of showing the little people' around. How did these little' people' feel when they came to orientation? Some were confused, but most were very excited. Beth Turren-tine said, I was excited to see my schedule and see who was in my classes. Sophomores weren't the only students busy during orientation.

The yearbook staff worked selling yearbooks and assisting portrait photographers. The Band and the fall sports teams continued practices begun even earlier in August. SAC planned for elections of Sophomore class officers and representatives, the Pride Assembly, and for Homecoming. Teachers too had to return early to attend workshops, faculty and department meetings, and to prepare their classrooms. Art teacher Mr. John Dennis said, The main things teachers had to do were clean rooms and get organized for the new year. By the time all of the rush of orientation was over, it was time for school to start.

Kim Price said, When I walked into my classes, the first thing I did was look for at least one per- son I knew and tried to get a seat near them.'' The general attitude was that they enjoyed their experiences. 1 liked school more than I thought I would. This was the first time I actually didn't dread going back on the second day, said Pam Lyda. Towards the middle of the week, they looked at school more optimistically. Greg LaMetterey said, I had a feel of the building and had figured out where friends were. By the end of the week, they were comfortable. 1 really began to enjoy school. It is so much different from junior high, said Alisha Bain. Rosalind Ferguson said.

CeCe Cubitt said the dance was a success, but the turnout could have been better. The DJ was good, and everyone danced most of the night. I don't think students from the 3 junior highs communicated very well, but it did help get up the spirit for us Sophomores. Sophomore Class President Patrick Clowney said, I felt the music was good. There could have been a better promotion for a better turnout. The music related to everyone, but enough people didn't come. Considering all the adjustments Sophomores had to make, they survived the first weeks without serious problems.

Keeping the counselors busy, seniors were constantly checking their courses passed sheets, picking up SAT and college applications, and finding out information regarding grants and scholarships. Trying to find the perfect college to suit each student's individual needs wasn't easy, said counselor John Wolfe. We helped seniors explore possible college and career choices, processed applications, and wrote recommenda- tions. We also helped students search for potential scholarships. In the fall, most seniors hadn't made final decisions about where they wanted to go, but medium to large colleges were the most popular considerations. Michelle Groover said, There are a lot more opportunities to meet people and get involved at a large institution.'' for Greg Davis, size didn't matter. He just wanted a school with a strong department in his chosen major. Several things attracted students to colleges. The parties, sports, and getting away from parents were all major objectives. Karlo Byers looked forward to bettering his education, being on his own, and having some fun. for Wendy Elliott, college offered more than just a fun social life. It also provides a good future.'' Scholarships were other incentives which drew seniors to particular colleges. Brian Rogers hoped to get an academic scholarship to one of the colleges of his choice, filling out those applications was tough. 1 sure hope it was well worth the effort! he said. Varsity athletes like Doug Eubanks hoped their successes in sports would earn them scholarship opportu-i nities. The biggest head-1 aches after applications were from the SAT's. They v ruined a perfectly good Saturday, said Greg Em-merth. I've been taking it since the 7th grade, and it never gets any easier ' said Gina Rossi. A majority of students aimed at making their col- lege choice during the first semester so they could i spend the end of the year concentrating on enjoying the last weeks of their high school career.

The following comments of students present their views on school spirit. DEFINE SCHOOL SPIRIT School Spirit is what makes high school the ‘best years of our lives. It's cheering at games, joining clubs, attending dances, getting involved in everything, and being proud to be a Viking. — Kelly Hutchins School Spirit is cheering for your teams when they are down. It's taking pride in your school and not littering or vandalizing it. It's not laughing at any group that represents the school, even when they make mistakes. — William Moss School Spirit is the pride and respect shown for your school. It includes emotional, financial, and participatory support for departmental and extra-curricular activities. — Paula Fasig School Spirit is the ability of the whole school to come together to cheer and support each other. — Mike Nesser School Spirit is doing whatever you can to back your school. — Kevin Jones Anne Arbuckle Key treasurer Kevin Jones sorts the spirit ribbons his club sells to spirited Vikes on Thursdays and Fridays before football games. HOW CAN WE IMPROVE SCHOOL SPIRIT? By Letting students be proud to be Vikings rather than being a soph, junior, or senior. Even though it's traditional, I think too much class competition segregates the spirit. — Kelly Hutchins Have more pep rallies. — Henry Mott, Darrell Swinson, Gina Marsh, et al. We need more spirit oriented activities. Students don't participate in cheers and chants because there are no opportunities for them fo leam them. — Margaret Johnson school spirit 25 Arms in the air. students throw off their hats and cheer for the Vikes who later beat Dorman 35-7.

If the spirit really existed within students as they said, they would show up after school to prove it. If not, it would be obvious the begging was all to obtain freedom from schoolwork and to get out of class. The first after-school pep rally produced interesting results. Although a small percentage of the student body was represented, those who attended made up for those who did not. The Band played for a half hour, and Student Body President Reed Russell led the Vikings by microphone in each chant along with the Varsity Football Cheerleaders. Even the faculty showed up to prove their Viking spirit, not only did they throw advice at students, but they kicked up their heels in a chorus line. The E Wing hill, steps, and breezeways were filled with yelling, chanting, and dancing students.. The Band and Cheerleaders performed on the Class of 87 sign painted on the courtyard. Although they had only a short time to participate before loading the buses for Byrnes, the Varsity Football Team lent their enthusiastic support to the pep rally activities. The musical favorites turned out to be the Band's rendition of The Song of the Soft Shoe Dance in honor of Pee Wee Herman and the Viking Fight Song. The beat of the bass drums, the echo of trumpets, and We are the Vikings rang throughout campus for an additional 15 minutes as students headed for their cars or their buses. The spirit of these loyal Vikings was not shown in vain. The Vikes soundly defeated the Brynes Rebels later in the evening. In addition, the next after-school pep rally, scheduled the day of the Dorman game, was held a surprise 10 minutes before the end of school.

To Junior Briggs Holmes, Fashion is a way of expressing my individuality to those who don't know me! This year's fashion was a combination of Vogue, California, and a return to the 60s. Big jewelry, gold and silver accessories, leather and jean jackets,, jams, tie-dyed shirts, string bracelets and peace signs were all popular. Many looks were inspired by magazines such as Vogue, GQ, and Glamour. They featured chains, coins, metallic shoes and purses, huge earrings, and long, straight skirts. Sophomore Stacy Glenn adored her silver shoes. They can be worn with dresses, pants, and even a pair of jeans. For Curtis Blackley the RUN DMC look was top on his charts. This was the combination of an Adidas sweatshirt, preferably red and black, Adidas tennis shoes without laces, a Kanga hat, and Gazelle sunglasses. Another popular look was Californian in inspiration. The new dress code allowed both sexes to wear knee-length attire. The assortment of colors, stripes, florals and geometric designed jams seen in the hallways made it look like everyone was headed to the beach. One of the biggest trends was a comeback from the late 60 s. Students decked out in tie-dyed shirts, jean jackets, string bracelets, and peace signs. The 60 s look was Senior Harrison Martin's favorite. I love it! It's so laid back. To find these various treasures, students headed to stores such as Belk's, Carolina Casuals, LA Fashion, and Ivey's. Some traveled to Atlanta to buy their outfits. A few even admitted shopping anywhere from Tabs Flea Market to Brooks Brothers depending on what they were looking for. Fashion trends come and go. According to current students, last year's favorites, neon colors, wide ties, and the Madonna look, were definitely passe. Erika Johnson {Button shoes made a comeback for those, like Tina Miller, who didn't mind the extra time it took to lace them.

It was an unusual beginning to the traditional Farmer Day celebration marking another chapter in the city football rivalry. Students and faculty dressed in their dandiest down-home duds to mock the Dorman Cavaliers. Overalls, cowboy hats, bandanas, freckles, and cowbells were all a part of the dress of the day. The most unique approach was that of R.J. Riemensnider who drove a large yellow tractor to school and parked in the teachers' lot. Students were rewarded for their support for the Vikes when a ringing cowbell dismissed school 10 minutes early so even those who rode early buses could participate in the after-school pep rally. A larger contingent than usual showed up at Dorman's stadium to cheer the Vikes to a 35-7 victory and claim bragging rights for another year.

The announcement had just been made that the bonfire and spirit games scheduled for that night were cancelled. The cancellation was because of continued vandalism to underclassmen floats despite an earlier statement by Mr. Joe Delaney that if such actions continued. Homecoming events would not take place. There were mixed reations to the cancellation announcement. Rumors of new vandalism had spread all day. Bernadette Adams said, I heard rumors of cancellation from a friend when I arrived at school Thursday.'' Some thought the punishment too harsh. Said Wendy Lawter, The punishmentwas unfair. The criminals paid for their actions; however, innocent students were pun- ished also. John Entwistle said, If people can't realize their float will be trashed if it's the least bit susceptible, then they deserve to have their float messed up. We should not have had our Homecoming taken away because a few are deliquent. Students tried to make their own plans to replace the bonfire activities. Many went to work on last-minute float building. Sixty seniors met at Beth McClure’s house to do touch-up work on the float, play football, snack, and just talk about plans for Friday. Margaret Bartel said, I went home and watched TV and then did my homework.'' Still others went to Burger Ring or MacDonald's. Students tried to get rid of their initial anger and let loose a little since they had been looking forward to the bonfire. All week the student body had spent time, energy, and money supporting both class spirit and school spirit. The mood of the week was described by Gina Earle who said, Everybody gets crazy! Said Amy Ponder, I think people should go all out whenever we are given a chance to show how much spirit we have. Students participated in everything from decorating their homeroom doors to dressing up according to each day's theme. I think it's important for school to be as much fun as possible as long as the learning process is not hindered. Dress-up days allow you to show some spirit and enthusiasm for being at SHS, said Mrs. Teresa Schilts. In keeping with the theme Looney Tunes, dress-up days for Spirit Week were: jersey day. Pee Wee Herman day, class day (Senior with sunglass- es and bandanas. Juniors as hippies, and Sophomores with hats, sweatshirts, and jeans), blue and gold day, and theme costume day. Winners in the costume day contest were Brian Tate as Mr. T, Hope Leak as Baby Smurf, Mr. Joel Peterson as Bugs Bunny, and Mr. Jay Jeter as Mickey Mouse. Homerooms showed their spirit by collecting money to pay for their class float, working on the float, and decorating the doors to their rooms. Music, comics, balloons, stand-up cartoon characters, streamers, and flashing lights were used by creative decorators. Homeroom 10-12 won the contest, with 10-17 and 11-60 following. Homeroom presidents sold extra large spirit ribbons for 50 cents. SAC members sold spirit spots that would represent the blue, yellow, and white ballooons released at the game. Debbie Mills said, I had some extra change, so I bought one. Float building was a major part of preparation for Friday, Homecoming Day. Students divided after-school hours between class and club projects. All the painting, stuffing, papier-macheing, hammering, and hauling was fun work. Melissa Simpson said, We were all able to work together on something our class could be proud of. Although at points it seemed as if things would never be ready on time, everything began to fall together. The cancellation of the bonfire and games put a damper on things, but it allowed extra time to work on floats. Students were not willing to let one problem destroy all their hard work. Said Jeffrey Gray, Homecoming did successfully survive, because the best was yet to come . . . Kaju Channa In their enthusiasm to create a decorative door, these Sophomores elect to use a portion of the wall. Time and effort went into elaborate decorations including moving parts, flashing lights, and balloons.

A large group of Seniors congregated at their float to work and socialize. i c n s - 3 I homecoming 32G HOMECOMING '86 HOMECOMING '8 Spirit recovered at parade Beth McClure After the let-down of no bonfire, students and faculty alike wondered if there would be any enthusiasm at the parade and pep rally friday after school. Both events had a spirited turn-out of student participants and interested spectators. Michelle Groover said, It was my favorite part of Homecoming. 1 remember going to the parade when I was young and wishing 1 could ride in it. One of the first highlights was the Band. They led the parade wearing, for the first time, their new uniforms. Marching to tunes such as The Notre Dame Victory March, they traveled from First Baptist Church to Memorial Auditorium. Following the Band, the Homecoming queen candidates smiled and waved from convertibles. Club floats were interspersed with class floats and vehicles. Interact and Anchor won the club competition with Fred (Flintstone) says. Stone the Trojans. Juniors won the class competition with Hagan Seniors were second with Snoopy and the Trojan, and the Sophomores third with Captain Caveman. Leah Brumfield said the floats as a whole were better than last year. Brian Rogers liked the theme because it was one to really get involved in and enjoy. He felt the Looney Tunes theme allowed much variety and imagination. Students who were not riding on floats or throwing candy to the crowd were moving alongside their masterpieces yelling, Class of '87, or Ju- niors, or Sophomores are number one! The pent-up energy burst out of spirited seniors and underclassmen. Said Steve Thrash, The parade was an opportunity to finally be able to let loose since we didn't get the bonfire. The Varsity Football Cheerleaders, dressed as Pink Panthers, led the pep rally at the parade's end. Although this time was a chance for school spirit to develop as a whole, each class managed to mass together and cheer for their respective groups rather than for the Vikings. Even so. Derrick Jacubchek felt the purpose of the pep rally was fulfilled. It psyched us up for the game! Although their float was vandalized, the Sophomores worked hard to have it ready in time for the parade on Friday afternoon. They won third place with a Cave Man theme. ► Raju Channa A Black History Club entered the parade competition by carrying Care Bears and loudly chanting cheer for a Viking victory against northwestern.

The football game against the Trojans from northwestern was important to the football team because it was a region game. To player Mark Mullen the matchup was an opportunity to avenge the previous year s loss. Todd Lestage agreed saying that the game was the best part about Homecoming simply because he himself played football. Indeed, the game itself is the reason for Homecoming, and all of the excitement and fun during the week were present in Friday night s activities. Many students enjoyed going to the game with dates. Some bought corsages and boutonnieres for the ones they asked. Before the game, couples went out to eat at Quincy's, Annie OakS, or private clubs and restaurants before for a special dinner. Other braves came to watch the contest alone. These dateless students proved that many came to Snyder Field to enjoy the competition as well as the other festivities. Pike Mitchener said, I felt the game was a thorough one. We really had to pull together as a team to win. Several important players went down during the game, and our backups and spirit helpled us through. It was a hard win, but a good one. The 21 to 19 Viking victory was impressive. Harold Cleveland and Daniel Geatter were injured, but the team managed to use its resources and come out on top. For a while it seemed to all the fans that the Trojans had a chance at a win. The fourth quarter, especially the last five minutes, were quite scary as the opposing team scored a touch-dowm which lessened the Viking lead. However, in the last sixty seconds of the game Steve Tugman intercepted a northwestern pass, and the Vikes were victorious. The combined efforts of Tracy Miller, Albert Phillips, and Jay Hampton contributed to the overall win. The spectacular halftime show was just as enjoyable. Juniors were named overall winners for Homecoming week with Seniors next, and Sophomores following. The presentation of the Homecoming court and the an-noucement of Deede Degner as queen and of Suzanne Ethier and Katherine Burgess as honor attendants was important. Kim Fields noted that the homecoming queen represents the school in her ability to get along with everyone in the school. All of the other candidates, each nominated by senior football players, felt it was quite a thrill and an honor to be selected as a part of the court. The Band and Colorguard performed well, decked out in their best. The cheerleaders kept the Viking spirit going and threw out special megaphones to fans after each score. James Bearden appropriately ended the show with That's all Folks! Yet, the night was not over for some people. Groups mingled at Burger King, parties, and the SAC dance which was put together by Edie Hagler and Beth Smith. Students wanted the fun to last as long as possible, and they pushed curfews as far as they could. Amy M. Long commented on the whole week. We all did a great job; a lot of people participated, but I think it meant more to us as Seniors, because it is the first door to be closed behind us as we go through our senior year. homecoming 32F Wlxr can fongefr Utoic Scatty Fam A sinister hunchback roamed the campus making threatening advances.

The Chorus, The Corporation, and soloist Robert Moss sang a number of arrangements to continue the Christmas mood.

Trying to enter and exit the E Wing parking lot posed problems for students. They had different reasons for parking near E Wing. People who played in the Orchestra or on a team parked there because it was close to where they practiced. Others parked in E Wing to avoid waiting to cross Dupre Drive from the pit. Most students thought it was more convenient to park in the E Wing lot even though it was busier and more hectic. Drivers had different ways of escaping the confusion of the parking lot. Parking near the exit to beat the other cars out was one strategy. Orchestra members avoided the morning rush because they had to come early to rehearse. The main morning confusion and congestion was caused by students who wanted to sleep as late as possible and arrived at school only minutes before the homeroom bell. It took driving expertise to pull in and park without adding new dents to the designs of cars. After school congestion was heaviest just after dismissal as everyone tried to be the first out of the lot to get to jobs or home to the soaps. Athletes were able to leave without problem because practice didn't end until at least 5:00. The Band, finishing at 6:00, also had little problem. Others had to either wait in line to talk to friends while cars cleared out. Parents and friends picking up students. Band members crossing the lot to the practice field, and Cross Country runners added to the after school congestion. Some students complained that Sophomores parking illegally was part of the problem and felt parking regulations could have been better enforced. Gerry Seymour said, Parents should be kept from picking up students in the E Wing lot. This was a new problem since the City Police no longer allowed pick up in front of the building. Sanford Kim suggested making people only turn right at the exit could be an answer. He said, Sophomores and restricted license drivers should be totally prohibited. They don't have enough driving experience and cause problems for others. Whatever changes are made, it's a sure bet that as long as there are student drivers, there'll be parking lot hassles.

Yes, anticipation mounted that Wednesday as students exchanged their renditions of the morning's Weather Channel report. Some of us had doubts; all of us had hopes. All was quiet until past bedtime, but a storm was brewing. With Thursday's 6:30 A.M. alarm came shouts of, No school today, no school today!'' and expressions of disbelief at the 12 inch blanket which lay as yet undisturbed on the ground. With the snow came renewed childhood antics. Sleds were waxed, boots were donned, and we ventured out into the storm. Snowballs and snowmen became a common sight; it had been a perfect deep, damp snow. Andi Goldman and Shannon Smith admitted, We had a snowball fight and rode around in the snow in a friend's four-wheel drive. In addition to the fun that naturally accompanied the snow, some traditional and common problems became apparent. Power outages were extensive, some houses having no power for up to 3 days. Roads were treacherous, some impassable, leaving us stranded from civilization. Trees were another unsuspected menace. Heavy snow wreaked havoc as 40 snow branches split and crashed, damaging cars, roofs, and powerlines. Perhaps a less dangerous, but certainly important problem affecting many of us, was expressed by Shannon. I couldn't go out with my boyfriend because of the ice. Despite the obvious inconveniences, the snow was a wonderous sight which brought a welcome break to school-weary students and faculty. Sledding and snowball fights were about the only activities available during the snow as schools and most businesses closed; homes were without power.

St. Valentine's Day at SHS, despite the spookiness of being celebrated on Friday the 13th, was a memorable time for many of the students and faculty. Because last year's deliveries of flowers and ballons got out of hand, especially on Valentine's Day when the gifts filled up the office hallways and took all available space, in-school deliveries were the only options. Tripp SaroPury The Beta Club delivered carnations to loved ones in order to raise money an promote general good cheer. It originally promised to offer black carnations for our hated ones, but it renegged when a clamor arose from the more easily offended members of the student body. The Anchor Club delivered Valentine cards to homerooms for those too shy to deliver their messages in person. They also sponsored a party for some of the children at SCSDB. The Horse Hews offered its annual opportunity to have Valentine's messages printed in the February issue for the bargain price of 10 cents a word. Perhaps the most touching aspect of Valentine's Day at SHS was the pink, heart-shaped cookies distributed at lunch; They were good, said Eric Stoots. {Going beyond the traditional candy and flowers, students thought of innovative ways to express their feelings like sneaking messages into lockers.

These words were heard throughout the morning on February 16 when the Black History Club presented its annual assembly for Black History Month. The much anticipated and excellent performance by the club put to use much of their talent by presenting facts from the past by readers such as Chantal Webster, Lynn Taylor, Brian Rogers, and Renee Latti-more. Students enjoyed the singing of such well known songs as Respect Yourself and the soulful Lean on Me. The Corporation also performed at the assembly. This talented group of both black and white performers represented the spirit of the assembly-blacks and whites working together in perfect harmony. This was the first time The Corporation had ever performed at an assembly without the entire chorus. They performed an exciting show including the spiritual Plenty Good Room and the popular Beatles classic Twist and Shout. Although the dramatic presentation was quite short this year, it was to the point. With the talent of Robert Moss and Rexx Hill directing the Black History Club Chorus, the group came off sounding like professionals. As Kim Young, vice president of the Black History Club, told the purpose of the club, everyone awaited the dramatic presentation by the club. Once the skit was over, the student body gave a well-deserved standing ovation. Performing a quartet, Robert Moss, Rexx Anne Artoucklc The Black History Club Chorus sang several inspirational songs. Eric Norman, Kevin Mitchell, Wendell Jones, and Lenny Moore, snap to the beat of Lean on Me. Hill, Jerry Hill, and Kim Young displayed harmony that could never be forgotten. Among other soloists were Lynn Walker and Keith Mills. This year's national theme was The Afro-American and the Constitution:-Colonial Times to the Present. Martin Luther King III, speaking out against drugs and for education, was the honored guest speaker. King touched just about every topic from prejudice to challenges. He stressed to students and ev- eryone to get an education and become something in life. He also stated that blacks have to make a new image for themselves and accomplish a goal in life. His most important statement was that we must work together in peace and harmony to make the world a better place to live. We must leam to lean on each other was the message of the skit and of King's talk. These words best explain what must be done to better our society. 46 black history assembly «To end the Black History Assembly, students joined the Black History Club Chorus and 'The Corporation In singing Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing.

Worksheets, midnight term papers, and homeroom reports were a part of everyone's curriculum, yet students had opportunities to rise above the minimum expected. The Theatre Odyssey Project, The Corporation, the teacher cadet program, and other special-interest classes permitted students to become involved and interested in their school work.

Sixth period band class is just the beginning. 'Practice makes perfect is a common expression pertaining to the Band. Besides the time spent in class, the Band stayed after school for additional practice. William Kratchovil said, It takes time out of my schedule, but I know we need it. It is necessary that we practice together for the full six hours after school per week. This is when we perfect our music and leam new moves. I think practice is important. We need this time each week in order to be a superior band, said Rob Kimball. Kimball also stressed that, Everybody has to do their part; if the band is to remain a success. The Band did more than march at football games; it participated in parades, festivals, contests, and concerts. In regard to the contests, Kristin Whitley said, When you do well, it makes you feel great! It also helps the band see our competition and know how to improve ourselves in the future. Kristy Cutler said, Competitions are important in that they are a goal for the entire band to work toward. Some events in which the band participated were the Marching Band Festival in Camden, S.C. on October 11, the Symphonic Band Concert on November 24 at the Twitchell Auditorium, and the State Concert Festival on April 11. The Band was very excited about preparations for June 15, when they will be leaving to go on their European Tour. The Band was delighted about their new director, Mr. Mark Fischer, and his assistant, Ms. Dawn Camp- bell. Elliot Bell said, Mr. Fisher is fun to play and march under. He has a way of making you want to do better; while at the same time, he is constantly pushing and encouraging you to do so. Many of the Band students planned to use the knowledge that they have acquired. Kevin Jeffries said, I hope to use band to work toward a college scholarship, because I really love music. Both William Moss and Rusell Racine plan to minor in music when they go to college. Other students believed that being in the Band developed character. Tim Keeter, Band captain, said, I'm learning helpful leadership characteristics.'' Keeter also said that, Music helps open my mind creatively, where I can express myself in a way that only a select few can.

'N Etmpem Tom — Lpti Tty It A$ Om Again Anne Blggcrstaff Erik Johnson Concentrating on a difficult piece of music, Toby Gillespie displays skill in playing the bass. The symphony is made up of the more experienced players. The internationally acclaimed Symphony Orchestra is in its 66th performance year and is still going strong. The Concert Orchestra has been in existence for 8 years and gives approximately 3 annual performances. The Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Mr. Bill Scott, consists of 104 members including wind players. The Concert Orchestra, conducted by Mr. Paul Buyer, consists of only string players and has about 80 members. Disappointed by the cancellation of last summer's European Tour, orchestra students began fund raising again. The tour, traditionally held every three years, was cancelled in 1986 after continuous terrorist threats, but plans have been made for an 87 tour to the same countries. Stand partners Bilkis Mirani and Stephanie Edwards focus their attention on their music. Playing the viola takes a steady and a bow. w Erika Johnson With a sidelong glance at his sheet music, tuba player Robert Abrams plays as the symphony practices during a before school session at 7:30 A.M. t Mr. Scott said that he felt good about the decision to cancel but was disappointed for the students who had planned on going. The entire orchestra consists of seniors, juniors, and sophomores, and auditions are held each spring for the following year. Cathy Clement, a junior violinist in the Concert Orchestra, noted, The best part of the orchestra is when I finally leam the music, and it sounds like it is supposed to. Tammie McCarley is a senior and plays cello in the Sympho- ny Orchestra. Even though she does not like having to be at school at 7:30, she enjoys playing the music. The appreciation of classical music is a quality sometimes difficult to come by today. The Orchestras, however, keep it alive in performances and the dedication given to them. Hard work and patience really paid off for sophomore Sarah Henderson. She earned the coveted position of first chair, second violin in the symphony. « Erika Johnson 52 orchestra Tie bat pact of tie owiafci u u ien fitioJfy teato, tie uauie, and itiouxck tike it U ii Erika Johnson SYMPHONY PERSONNEL: BUI SCOtL Cond.

I 54 chorus r Martha Petoskey PvtfonjmxMi £lwu) { 'N v A Perhaps one of the most successful, hardest working, yet least noted groups, the Chorus was taken much for granted. The group of just under 100 vocalists practiced daily in classes and every other Tuesday after school. In addition, Mr. Tom Wine, director, began a new program for those students not in an actual Chorus class who were interested in participating. These dedicated students practiced for 30 minutes before school, three days a week. The Chorus's lack of rec- ognition was due in part to its limited number of performances. The group performed at each of the assemblies which were few and far between. An ensemble of Chorus members, The Corporation, also gave an after-school concert on November 6. The groups did perform at many community functions not related to school; however, the students body was poorly informed of those events. When given the chance, the student body and faculty enjoyed and appreciated the Chorus's efforts. The Chorus was divided into 3 sections: beginners' chorus, advanced chorus, and The Corporation. Ability and experience determined each group's make-up. They performed both separately and as a group. The Corporation, a special entertainment group of 17 young women and men with the highest vocal proficiency and the most theatrical talent performed a variety of show-chorus selections in and out of school. Lisa Moss contributes her talents to help produce the chorus's exciting performances. The group sang to en-tertain and move their audiences. w 4“The Corporation'' sings “Every Day I've Got to Sing Some’’ at their first concert of the year, a special after-school treat in the gym on November 6.

You don't sit down and take lecture notes or do homework. But there is lots of work. SAGA is different from any other class said Tripp Sansbury of his sixth period. He and staffer Anne Biggerstaff wanted to be part of the yearbook because of the journalistic opportunities offered. Robin Heatherly looked forward to the chance to improve her photographic abilities. She found that like any class, SAGA required discipline. Raju Channa said, I've been working for i yearbook since junior high. SAGA is a great challenge and major responsibility. Some people think that photography is not important, but they don't realize that we spend hours in the darkroom and go out of the way to complete our assignments. Indeed, with the expertise of Head Photographer Erika Johnson, the photographers managed to capture that special moment by clicking away all year. They carried their equipment with them to school. school functions, and even on weekends in order to cover every aspect of students' lives. Since there was such an impressive amount of material to be completed, staff members found themselves busy from late summer to Wednesday nights to the much too early Saturday mornings. With Debbie Drucker, Jeff Eaucette, and Martha Petoskey as section editors, and copy editor respectively, things went smoothly. Editor in Chief Beth McClure appreciated and needed the help and encouragement of her assistant, Meg Beaird. Sometimes the load got pretty incredible. It was good to know that there was someone there to give me support. Team work was the name of the game. Under the leadership of the never tiring sponsor Mrs. Anne Ar-buckle, the staff learned to depend on each other. The class became like a family of close friends. Briles Lever turned out to be a super source of artwork, and Kelly Petoskey, after much worry, put the ad section together. A new computer program allowed the articles to be put together in a more organized fashion too. Kim Young said, You have to be very dedicated and precise with work. You must be serious and willing to put forth your best in time and effort. Despite the labor, some time was allowed for birthday celebrations with the infamous straw hat, gossip, and even a box of tunes during those extra hours. The privileges of sideline passes to games, hall passes for interviews, and as Briles said, getting the inside info on what's going to be in the book, and the weekly edition of SAGA Smut, all helped raise spirit and keep the staff encouraged before deadline Mondays. Robin's feeling that I was contributing to the school in some way by being a part of SAGA was shown in the attitude of the hard workers in 313 D. The staff accomplished what seemed on August 25 to be an almost impossible task. Choosing just the right words for her copy is important to Editor in Chief Beth McClure and she finds the thesaurus an invaluable tool to help. ♦ Anne Arbuckle Assistant Editor Meg Beaird and Section Editor Debbie Drucker check the copy assignment book to see if any articles for the current deadline are not in. • Anne Arbuckle J saga 57 r Neuipap v G k l ] io Nm Look 1 v----------------: Meg Bcaird y Kaju Channa Toy Renfro Kathy nicholson usually does the photography for the morse Hews. but at deadline time everyone does what he can.

He drew the pictorial headlines and almost all other artwork in the paper including the comic strip The Weird Wonder. Said Gary, The strip was created on a whim. The idea came from many things; I found an American flag in a file cabinet, and put it on to be ridiculous. Every one started calling me the Weird Wonder. Another addition to the staff was Kathy Nicholson, the lone Horse Hews photographer. When asked in September what it was like being the only photographer Kathy said, It s a nightmare; you have to work your whole schedule around photography. Kathy picked up most of her photography skills as she went along but she said, The USC workshop sharpened my skills and helped me understand the technical aspects of photography. The staff as a whole worked hard to put out a monthly paper keeping student favorites such as se-nior spotlights, and last wills and testaments. Lea Brumfield said, After my initial reaction of horror to my first assignment, it was neat to investigate the stories. Andrew Metz concluded by saying, My favorite part of being on the staff is that, by being on the staff I feel I know more about what is going on in and out of school, and I get to find out information the average student doesn't know. On September 26, with a new design, and a definitely new style, the Horse Hews rolled off the presses for the first time this year. Three hundred and fifty subscriptions at two dollars a piece were sold after the first week. Over the summer the Horse Hews staff attended a newspaper journalism workshop at USC. Editor Richard Dunlap said, We learned a lot about design. If you compare this year's paper to last year's, the difference is incredible.

It offered a varied curriculum that included opportunities to pursue every scholastic interest. The school was particularly proud of its English Department led by Chairman Bill Pell. The English Department provided students with a generous sampling of literature, novels, poetry, and short stories. It's nice to read a little bit of everything ' said Bobby Vaughn. It's much better than reading one thing for a whole year. In addition to reading literature, students studied grammar and wrote essays and poetry. The department was careful to maintain a balance between these activities. This way we don't study grammar for a whole semester or spend only a week writing essays, said Keith Bell. We were equally proud of the Math Department. Students could explore every realm of the math field, from algebra to geometry to calculus. Computer math classes were offered for students interested in that field of study. Classes ranged in difficul- ty from the basic to most challenging concepts. Since 3 years of math were required for graduation, a large portion of the students body could be found in math classes. The Science Department was an equally important aspect of our academics. A recent increase in the number of required science credits for graduation led to an increased enrollment in science courses. A well-equipped stockroom, a variety of course offerings, and excellent teachers helped the Science Department maintain its high standards. Many teachers find that students explanations are helpful in the learning process. Hannah Maness explains a homework problem in Advanced Algebra A class. t Typing is a skill for a lifetime.

This year's season was especially exciting. The Vikings, whose record was 9-1, went on to win the Region II-4A Championship and were named the 1 team in the state going into the playoffs. The Vikes dominated almost every team they played. They stomped on arch rival Dorman 35-7, wiped out Broome 42-6, and walked all over Gaffney 27-7. Their performance earned them the title of Region II-4A Champs. Most players agreed that Dorman and Gaffney were their best games, as it was for running back Albert Phillips who broke for thirty yards on the first carry of the game against Gaffney. But for senior Tracy Miller, the highlight was playing Byrnes, a game in which he caught a pass for the winning touchdown. Although they suffered many injuries this season, SHS still prevailed. The Vikings proved that it doesn't take just a few awesome players to win a game, but it takes many good players who play well together. Senior Doug Eubanks said that although he was happy that the team did well without him in the lineup, the highlight of his season was coming back after his injury. Getting to be as good as they were didn't come easy. It took a lot of time, hard work, and dedication on the players' part which included spring practice, summer practice, and exclusion from Homecoming activities such as the parade and half-time ceremonies. Brian Cavin stated, People think football is an easy sport to play, and no one realizes the dedication involved.'' But as senior Joe Delaney stated, I wouldn't have it any other way!

A graduate of Benedict College, he enjoys his job as a coach as well as his teaching job. His goal for the year? The goal not only this year, but every year, is to first win the region, and second go to state and win. Thompson said that what he liked most about coaching was seeing a job well done on Friday nights after a long, hard week of practice, and of course, winning. Coach Thompson enjoys his job and when asked when he was going to retire, he said. When I get to be a millionaire.'' Coach Mel Baxley played football for USC and then spent two years in the NFL with the Houston Oilers. He coached Batesburg-Lees-ville HS to a state championship in 1979. Since 1980, he has been guiding the defensive linebackers for SHS. He likes coahing young men as a change from college and pro ranks. He could easily give up the hours on Sundays, but said. The work pays off in the end, and the rewards of coaching and winning are great.

Anne ArbucKle How well do you remember the 1986 football season? Team members each had special reasons for remembering games. David Brown: 'The Brynes game meant a lot to me because I played one of my best games of the year. I received Defensive Player of the Week in thye Herald-Journal. Another game was Gaffney. We beat them on their home field, which made it a sweeter victory. David Martin: The most memorable moment I remember is when we beat Byrnes. It showed we could pull out the big play when we had to. David Stokes: There are two games that stuck in my mind. They were both against Gaffney. The second one I remember most. The 27-24 score is now a nightmare. We lost only two games all year, both by the same score. We came out after the first half and played the worst second half of the season. We were flat and watched a fired-up, lesser talented team end our 17-7 lead and our season. Bryant Swinson: The game I remember most is the Greenwood game. Everyone picked us to lose, and at first we felt the same way. But we sucked it up and went out and did what we had to do — beat Greenwood. I felt like that was the best game I played all year, and I was glad to be a part of the victory. Tres Cox: I would have to say that the Nov. 7 meeting with Gaffney sticks out in my mind. Everybody thought that without Harold Cleveland our offense would sputter. Jay Hampton, Daniel Geatter, and Tracy Miller picked up the slack and made our offense explosive. Todd Ward had a good punting game, and I racked up a school record 45 yard field goal, a 38 yard field goal, 3 extra points, and a tackle on Robert Hardy. After allowing one touchdown in the first 5 minutes, the defense tightened up and we won the region and embarrassed the Indians on their own turf. There is not a team anywhere that can stop SHS when offense, defense, and kicking game come together like they did that night. Doug Smith: I remember the Byrnes game most. It was a game in which the whole team was kind of down. We had just come off a loss to Rock Hill, and we were facing another defeat. I had played the whole game as hard as I could and was getting frustrated because we could not score. Then Jay threw a great pass for the game-wining touchdown and all the frustration was gone. Victory tasted as good that night as anytime all season. Ray Sherbert: The game I remember most is the one with Gaffney for the upperstate championship. There was a lot riding on that game. It gave us a chance to beat Gaffney twice in one season for the first time ever, and it would have put us in the state championship game. A fearless passer even when Intimidated by top-rated defenses like Greenwood, Jay Hampton (20) drops back to pass in a tough-fought play-off game. Joe Delaney: The second game against Gaffney was my most memorable game. It was not the happiest but the most memorable. For the seniors on the team, it brought an end to three very memorable years on the football team. For most of us, it was the last time we would ever play football. VARSITY FOOTBALL: Vk Miller.

He said his father, who was his coach, was probably the biggest reason. Before coming to SHS, he coached at Heidelberg College, Davie County High School and Charlotte Independence HS. Sitterle believes that to be a great coach, you need to be dedicated, fair, and establish discipline. It is more than being knowledgeable; you have to motivate. Kicker Tres Cox agreed, saying, He's a great coach and a great motivator. As the coach, he has tried to create a distinct coach and player relationship. He said, I try to know a lot about what's going on with the guys, but you can't just get it down to buddies. However, he hoped his players had enough respect for him to come to him with their problems. He was elated with the football teams performance. He said. It was the greatest effort ever given. The Vikings overcame injuries and adversity, but suffered from bad breaks. The team worked hard to overcome these problems, and it became a very close team.

Ankles and just about any joint area injuries are most common. Head and neck injuries are not as common but are the most serious. Moss is not only our football trainer, he is our trainer for all sports. When not working as athletic trainer. Coach Moss can be found in the remedial reading lab working as an aide.

The Vikings entered the playoffs ranked number one in the state after a 10-1 regular season. The playoff picture looked rosy until the final game against Gaffney. We opened the playoffs with a 28-14 victory at home over Orangeburg-Wilkinson. The Vikings were to play Greenwood next. Many students were up in arms over SMS's predicted loss in the Spartanburg Herald-Journal. The team had other ideas as they proved their mettle against a big, tough Greenwood team. Tres Cox said. We rose to the occasion against a very skilled Greenwood team. We thought that we could carry this momentum into the third round against Gaffney.'' SHS beat Greenwood 17-7. Then disaster struck. For the second year in a row, the Vikings were unable to overcome Gaffney. Bryant Swinson summed it all up by saying, We worked hard all season and played great. The Gaffney game was just a fluke.''

They were nine dedicated girls who shared the goal of promoting that Viking Spirit. Their work began almost immediately after spring try-outs and lasted throughout football season. Summer camp at USC was, as Yvonne Wardlaw said, Excellent! It really helped us get together as a squad and we learned a lot of new things. Beth Smith agreed and added, The Kiddie Camp we conducted was another very rewarding experience. The kids were great and the whole week was a lot of fun. All of the cheerleaders agreed with co-captain Page Jones when she said, We worked really hard to promote spirit. 1 think that if we had more pep-rallies. overall school spirit would be much better. Isabel Willard added, We know that it was hard to be motivated a lot of the time, but if people would have concentrated their efforts on action instead of complaining, school spirit would have been helped a lot more! I was really glad that many of the students did realize this and helped us support our great Viking teams. All in all, the cheerleaders were very happy with the season. Captain Carrie Jo Cooke said, The '86-'87 football season was excellent. We really got a lot of help and support from the band, and I think that helped the team. Perfection of on-the-field stunts takes practice and concentration. Tammie McCarley. Carrie Cooke, and Margaret Johnson perform at a home game. � Anne Arbuckle ►“Touchdown.

Miss Jo Snipes put a lot of time, work, and energy into making sure that the varsity football cheerleaders stayed organized, achieved their purpose, and had fun at the same time. When asked why she volunteered for the job. Miss Snipes said, i was asked to be sponsor, and I agreed because I thought it would be a worthwhile thing to help raise school spirit and support Viking athletics.” The girls really appreciated everything Miss Snipes did.

As Howard Jones explained, When I pin someone I feel superior to my defeated opponent. John Krydynski added, Pinning someone gives me the sense of self-accomplishment. The Viking Wrestling Team got off to an exciting season. This was greatly due to the well prepared wrestlers and their supportive coach, Tim Remaley. The coach is a good motivator, said John. Coach is dramatic and has an everlasting urge to be a winner, added Howard Jones. And how did the wrestlers become so well prepared? Practice, practice, practice. The team put in many hours of intense training. This enabled them to get in control at the matches, molding his own.

Hosting this level tournament was an honor for the team in addition to the individuals honored by being able to wrestle for state crowns.

But Coach Remaley does more than just coach. He can also be found working diligently in the history department. teaching U.S. history, European history, and sociology, as well as a class in social problems. A history major from Wofford College, he came here from Springdale, PA and played football for Wofford. After graduation he coached and taught at Byrnes High for 13 years. He's been at Spartan High for the past 5 years. Last year he was the proud coach of the Region II AAAA Champs. Although winning is one of his rewards, one of Coach Re-maley's favorite parts of coaching is taking a group without wrestling experience, working with them, and supporting them through their season. Another great aspect is to see my wrestlers continue on with the sport after high school,'' he said.

Anne Arbuckle LADY VIKES SCORE WINNING SEASON Tammlc McCarley The Varsity Girls' Basketball team faced one of the hardest schedules of any of the athletic teams. One of the main reasons for the difficulty in the schedule was the stiff competition in the region. Union, Byrnes, and Gaffney were teams that no one in the state wanted to have to face ' said senior starter Sarah Haas. They had excellent teams and a lot of returning players from last year . Coach Paige Campbell brought in a lot of new things for the team when she arrived. Practices were long and hard, but we really improved and did well because we had them, said Gina Rossi. Veteran team member Sonia Lipe said, Coach Campbell made a lot of changes, and they were pretty hard for returning players to get used to. Those changes caused a little problem at first, but they were for the best in the long run. The team did very well throughout the season and gave most of their opponents good competition. Players that will be returning next year look forward to their chances for improvement. Junior Julie Story said, We will miss the players that graduate a lot, but we look forward to a very good season because of our returning players and because of the fact that we will be use to our new routine and be ready for whatever comes our way.

As head coach of the Varsity Girls' Basketball Team, Campbell led the girls to a fine season. Campbell played center at Chapman until her graduation in 1974, when she entered Win-throp. her work prevented her from playing in college, and it was this need for a job that led her to coaching once out of college. Campbell coached at Lexington High for eight years before joining the SHS staff this season. Her reasons for coaching are simple. ’I try to emphasize that sports are supposed to be fun and part of the educational process, she said.

Fans who did follow the team, were treated to some exciting basketball. The best game of the season was played on February 10 against the region-leading Brynes Rebels. Having beaten the Vikes previously, the Rebels obviously were not prepared for the team they had to play that night. The game made possible the Vikes' region champion- ship. The Vikes got off to an early lead; Brynes kept it close and tied the score in the last second of the first quarter. From that point, the Vikes pulled slowly but surely ahead; the final score was a decisive 75-53. In the play-offs, the team stood up and dominated Orangeburg-Wilkinson, Byrnes, and Hillcrest to advance to the final game with Lower Richland for the state championship. Backed by a proud-spirited group of students, faculty, and parents, the Vikes battled it out in the Carolina Coliseum in Columbia against a team ranked 10th in the nation. In a heart-breaker, the Boys' Varsity Team lost the biggest game in the state 81-63, but returned triumphant knowing that as players they come a long way. As players and teammates, the team had grown together.

Cheerleading takes up time inside and outside of school. There are a lot of practices and other activities besides the actual games. You must be willing to give up your free time ' said Laura McLeod. Cheerleaders must be able to project a positive spirit at all times. Laura said, A cheerleader's ability to keep smiling and cheering, no matter what the score, is an important quality. We tried to let the players know that we were there cheering for them at all times. Angie Wilkes stated, We tried to get the crowd involved in the game by getting them to yell with us.

Barnes shows spirit Anne BiggerstafF As a new teacher at Spartan high, Ms. Georgia Barnes decided that she wanted to become involved with the school, and that the best way would be sponsoring the Basketball Cheerleaders. She made the right decision. Being a cheerleading sponsor has helped her become more easily acquainted with the school. It has also given her a sense of accomplishment. She thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to work with such an enthusiastic group. I truly love every girl on the squad. They are all very dedicated and happy to give their all to Spartan High, said Ms. Barnes. She does, however, get discouraged at the lack of student support at basketball games.

Coach Lineberry felt this game was the best display of total teamwork. Point guard Alisha Bain said, I felt the game showed the team accomplished a lot. The margin the first game was one point and the second 14. A game crucial to keeping their record unblemished was against Union on January 19. Said co-captain CeCe, We knew Union would be a difficult opponent. The team was really psyched and ready to win. In the last game of the season, against Tryon, the girls got behind early. Then, through good defense and teamwork, they were able finally to prevail and to keep their undefeated record. Following last year's undefeated team, the JV Boys' expected another banner year. Dupre Sims said. ‘Our team had a big front line and the power to overcome the opponent's strength. Our quickness was also a factor in our victories. ‘ As a result, Dupre said, “the season wasn't as challenging as we would have liked because we were the bigger and better team. Still, their trap defense and rebounding needed work. Said Carlos Westley, “Defense and rebounding were emphasized at practice as the coaches tried to make us better. Continued Carlos, “The JV season is important because it gets players ready for the Varsity team and the tougher opponents we ll face in the future.

Charlie Willbanks, a senior on the varsity team said, It takes dedication, motivation, and a whole lot of training and self discipline.'' The Cross Country runners had all of these qualifies as they finished the season undefeated as county, region, and state champions. What is done to train for a season like this? Cross Country is a sport that lasts all year round. The training consists of summer running, speed workouts, and sprints, said Michael Slovensky. A large part of the Cross Country team's success should be attributed to Coach Jim Kilbreth. He was at every practice and kept the boys in line and made sure that they were at every meet and practice possible. Does this sound a little harsh? Hot really. Charlie said, Coach Kilbreth is a great man; he puts up with us every day and he contributes to all our wins. He has got to be the best coach ever! The team ran in many in-vitationals besides their normal schedule. In these races they competed with schools from other states as well as South Carolina. Throughout the season, Charlie Willbanks remained the top runner. Tor the second year in a row he was County Champion, setting a new course record. They finished their regular season undefeated and defended their county championship for the second consecutive year. They also won the region meet. They ended the season with the State Championship, which the team has not done since 1981. In February the team won its highest honor - being named an All-American High School Team. But what is it physically that makes a runner? A good runner is probably bom with the talent but there are exceptions,'' answered Charlie. Michael added, You have to have strength, speed, and endurance. The dedication of these runners and their coach make the Cross Country team a big asset to our school. The moments right before a race is the most nervous time. The runner trys to concentrate on the race and prepare himself mentally for the course ahead. � Brains behind the brawn Megan McCullough Meeting our team goals for 1986 was the best!, said Coach Jim Kilbreth, the driving force behind the victorious Boys' Cross Country team. Dragging the boys from the swimming pools and out onto the track during the summer months was his favorite part of coaching. he said. “Seeing the team improve week by week due to their conditioning was great. Coach,' as the runners called him. described the season as being a roller-coaster. Me said. It had its high and low points. Winning the state meet was a big thrill for everyone involved, but nobody can forget the low points that taught lessons.' The boys may have suffered through strenuous work-outs and won their medals, but they could not have done it without Coach Kilbreth's echoing voice that said. “GET OVER IT; give me two more miles.” Thus he lead them to win the county and Region II-4A titles for the 8th straight year, extend their dual meet streak to 94 straight victories, and become 4A State Champs.

Running is one of the most demanding sports. It's hard work, and there is a lot of pain, especially when you first start. It's a sport you have to train for all year round,'' said the team's MVP Sharon Anderson. The weather varied from unpredictable to bothersome, major and minor injures plagued them, and difficult courses caused them problems, but the girls never gave up. The season was especially tough in that only 5 of their 17 runners had been on last year's team. Most of the season was spent getting used to meets and courses and getting ready for next season. Each girls had her own personal goals. I want to work harder and make All-State,'' said Amy Frans. All of the girls expressed a desire to improve. I want to get better and run when I'm a senior ' said Jeni McLane. The girls ran from 3-6 miles every day after school and sometimes on weekends. Summer practices started at 8 A.M., and they worked with weights 2 nights a week. Yet with all the work, there were advantages that kept the girls at their sport. Getting in shape and feeling good about yourself are advantages. And, of course, the free teas from Hardees! said Candy Wilson. Leyla Kirayoglu said, I liked going to the meets to see how I stand against others in the sport. It makes you feel good when you know you can run a long way without stopping. A lot of people can't. You get a lot of respect for that; it makes you feel good about yourself,'' added Sharon. Although all runners prepared for each meet by keeping in shape and stretching out before running, Jeni had a most unique approach. I listen to Life in the Fast Lane' and then sing it through the whole meet. Megan McCullough • The girl runners huddle before the Region meet to pray and to encourage each other. The runners need all the enthusiasm they can get to endure the race. A steady pace in a three mile race is important. Sharon Anderson, the team's top runner, paced herself at the region meet and was able to capture the region crown. Megan McCullough A family affair Megan McCullough It is said that 'two heads are better than one. and the Kil-breths proved it. Mrs. Eileen Kilbreth followed in her husband Jim s footsteps and became the Girls Cross Country coach. Previously she was a part of the boys' program through video taping runners, and she finally decided to go solo. My involvement with the boys' team inspired me to want to become a part of beginning a brand new program for girls.'' The inexperienced girls' team set standards less demanding as a team and more demanding as individuals for what Coach Kilbreth considered a rebuilding year. She said, The girls worked hard to win the county meet, become runners-up in the region meet, and finish 10th in the state meet.' Coach Kilbreth's favorite part of coaching is seeing the girls run well in big' meets. Planning for the future, she said. I would like to have the girls run more road races In the summer to prepare the new girls for what they have to do.' Megan McCullough Mrs. Eileen Kilbreth gives a talk to her runners right before a race. She tells them about the course and offers some words of encouragement.

New year New coach Ann Pruett Many students were surprised to see a new teacher in the math department. Volleyball players were surprised as well. This new teacher, Susan Padgett, was the new coach for the volleyball team. Coach Padgett played volleyball as well as basketball, soft-ball, and track, at Boiling Springs high School and continued to play volleyball and basketball at Wofford College. When asked why she wanted to become a coach, she replied, ”1 enjoyed playing volleyball in high school and college, and after I graduated, I decided I wanted to stay involved with it.” She has stayed involved in volleyball besides coaching. She plays on a coed team with friends with whom she gradua-ted.Why did she become a teacher? She simply said, I've always wanted to teach.” My favorite part of coaching is working with the individuals and seeing them accomplish goals that they have set. My least favorite part was seeing the players disappointed or upset because they didn't play or didn't win. Everyone has to realize that they are a team'. The saying There is no T in team' holds true. Unity is most important. Every player must realize that she is a part of that team-win or lose! As a team, we realized that it was great to win, but we could still have fun if we lost.” Anne Arbuckle Volleyball was one way that exchange student Inga Michler got involved in SMS activities.

Seniors Sarah Haas and Susan Allen were the number one doubles team in the state. To reach this high level of play, the 13 members of the team have been competing for many years. Grace Hunt-ley played in tournaments since the age 10, and Sarah Haas has been playing since she was 12. They Kept playing because they loved the game and enjoyed the competition. To keep their skill level high, the girls practiced three times a week and had matches twice a week. Part of the credit for the season went to Coach Susan Dean, who Susan Allen said was very encouraging and supportive However, the players said that they got more out of playing tennis than just winning. Sarah said that the main thing tennis has taught me is patience.'' They also got some good exercise to keep them in shape, and had fun doing it. GIRLS' TERMS TEAM: Tront Row: Anne McKinney.

She also coaches the boys team and teaches physical education. She got started at Winthrop College as a biology major. After her freshman year, Mrs. Dean saw a way to incorporate biology and her love of the outdoors by changing her major to physical education. Coach Dean not only holds down a job, but she also manages a family. Balancing both has had its difficult moments, but thanks to a very supportive husband, the balance is not as hard. She started coaching the girls team when Athletic Director Bill Carr was searching for a coach. She loved it. and has been coaching ever since. The worst part of coaching, she said, is having to cut someone who really wants to play.” Jokingly she said the best part of coaching was winning. But seriously, it's working with people who are truly interested in what they're doing.” Helping the Girls' Tennis Teams to eight state championships has been a pleasure for Coach Susan Dean. w Jean Haas Jean Haas Although tennis is viewed as an individual sport, a doubles team is very valuable.

After a 7 to 1 season, these Vikes-in-training went on to clinch the Region II AAAA in their division for the first time in 8 years. The ninth grade players also defeated the Gaffney Indians for the first time in 8 years with a score of 28 to 22 in overtime. Coach Ric Smith's team could not have had a successful season without important players like quarterback Juan Simuel from Carver, running back Rudy Freeman from Whitlock, and Brian Garrety, offensive lineman from McCracken. On defense the Vikes had Rico Adams from Whitlock, Greg McHam from Carver, and Chris Woodard from McCracken. Most of the ninth graders will come to SMS to help add to the success of the 87-88 JV team. Since the C-team's first day of practice on August 25, they progressed to the highest level in the region. The championship that resulted allowed Coach Smith to sum up these season as very good and . . . sucessful. Our C-team players truly are Vikings that carry on the winning tradition at SHS. The JV team also carried on the winning tradition by ending with a 5-3-1 record. After being tied by Dorman early in the season, the Vikes came back to beat the Cavaliers by scoring a two-point conversion in the most exciting game against their favorite rivals. Coach Allen Sitterle said that many of the JV players will be a big help to the varsity in the coming years. He was particularly complimentary of the offensive play of Jad Anthony, Kirk Jones, Darryl Mollis, Tony Jones, and Wendell Jones.

Mrs. Ragin complimented her girls'' as being a nice group to work with; they gave her no major problems. Mrs. Ragin's suggestion to any young lady who would like to participate as a cheerleader is to have true dedication and to make to have the time for extracurricular activities, particularly the many hours of practice the girls devote. Time is not spent by the girls alone. Mrs. Ragin also devotes hours of her time to supervising practices and attending all the JV events for which the girls cheer.

The answer was learning cheers, dances, and various jumps used in cheerleading, and a lot of nervousness. At the end of the week, tryouts were held in front of a panel of judges. Why would anyone want to be a cheerleader? Answers were similar to Diana Shaefer's. She said, 1 wanted to help to promote school spirit and by doing this, get involved with the school. Girls from different junior high schools forgot old rivalries and united to become Vikings. They had hours of practice to be ready to cheer for the JV Football Team and the JV Boys' and Girls' Basketball Teams. Beth Turrentine said, Cheering is a rewarding experience. We all learned to pull together as a squad. This helped us improve individually as well as together. The girls worked hard from September through March and did a magnificent job. They are looking forward to continued years of cheering the Viking teams on to victory, perhaps on the varsity squads in years to come. i Renfro Enthusiasm is spirit and support for your school.

Some of these groups provided help ► to the community and the school. Others consisted of members with special interests. Although they varied in size and in purpose, each club was similar in that the members, officers, and sponsors combined efforts to provide fun and productive activities. Through their activities and service, they further continued the tradition of excellence in our school. Anne Arbuckle ♦The 4 service clubs are known for contributions to school and community.

Under the dual guidance of Ms. 1 Kathy Walker and Ms. Heinsohn, the I girls completed projects ranging from helping other young people find tem-; porary jobs to setting places for a sports banquet. All that work for noth-I ing? Certainly not! Members gained a special sense of joy from giving of themselves. Lisa Stacey said, I feel the work we do is very rewarding. I mean rewarding not as material things, but as a feeling we have accomplished some good with our activities. Kim Thompson enjoyed putting together a tea for the faculty before the school year started. It gave us a chance to express our thanks to the teachers for all of their help. My teachers do so much for me, and I wanted to do something for them in return! The girls had a good time doing | things like singing to their dads at the . father-daughter cookout, watching movies at the lock-in at the Ware-housse, and crowning each Playmate Meals program. They divided into small groups, each in charge of visiting one elderly person all year. They looked forward to seeing their relatives, bringing them flowers, and just knowing they were making some lonely people happy. The old traditions continued. Each meeting began with We are the Anchor Club we take the lead. In worthy service works, and share our friendship in our every deed, as President Gina Rossi led the Anchor Song.

If so, the German and French Clubs offered a chance to learn more about the culture of foreign lands. Members included beginning language students to native speakers, and all found something to learn. Students joined the French Club to have a chance to participate in club activities with friends. Brent Agnew said another benefit was a chance to practice the language. The many club activities included a soccer game against the German Club, which they won convincingly. Cheese, fondue, and dessert parties gave members a chance to prepare and then taste French foods. While enjoying German foods, Harris King and Tripp Sansbury discuss the many great things about the club like Oktoberfest. German Club holds many such activities. w According to members, the best parts of the food parties were to taste something authentically French and participating in typically French activities. Kim Sulewski said she enjoyed the club because, Instead of just discussing culture, you get to experience it. The German Club also began its activities with the annual soccer game. The damper of the loss to the French Club was lifted with the help of the annual Oktoberfest, an evening of German food and fun. November's Abendbrot, a cold supper, and December's annual decorating of a gingerbread house brought out more members and the holiday spirit. On German Immersion Day students tried to spend the entire day speaking German as they conducted activities, ate German cuisine, and enjoyed themselves with other German-speaking intellectuals.

Student body president Reed Russell defined SAC as a group of elected students from all 3 grades that meets daily during 6th period to discuss plans and events that boast school spirit, help the community, and improve school life in general.'' Mr. Chris White, advisor, stated members not only have to maintain a 2.0 gpa and pass 4 academic classes per semester, but must be responsible, dependable, sincere, and hardworking. Vice-president Teresa Marshall described the typical SAC meeting. The meetings are carried out in parliamentary procedure. After business is completed, sub-committees meet, and the remaining time is used for individual responsibilities.'' Most SAC members are active students involved in athletics, clubs, jobs, and community work. I have learned to adjust to a busy schedule by spreading my priorities....making sacrifices here and there,'' said Rodney Miller. Patrick Clowney felt that he was at the bottom of the ladder because at SHS there are so many others above him in authority. Fortunately he has made a successful transition from junior high to senior high council. This year the president of the SC Association of Student Councils (SCASC) is a student at SMS. Senior Jamie Reaves discussed her busy schedule. The two organizations coincide . . nothing can be accomplished for SCASC unless it is done through SAC. In March SAC hosted the state convention of SCASC. The convention will be for 3 fun days of sharing ideas, learning, workshops, speakers, entertainment, and good times, she continued. SAC plays a big role in sponsoring school activities. Teresa explained, Most of the ideas originate in SAC and most of the work that goes into preparing these activities is done by SAC members. SAC is usually in charge of making sure that everything goes right, including assemblies, pep rallies, free films, spirit boosters, selling programs at the football games, and coordinating activities for Homecoming and the Prom. To meet the demands, subcommittees or the individual classes accomplished the year's work faster. Stewart McCutchen, chairman of the Grandparent's Committee, said, We get the name of an elderly person in the community each month and adopt them as grandparent of the month. During the month, we go visit with them, sometimes taking small gifts or helping them around the house. The people we visit really seem to enjoy our company and appreciate what we do. December grandparents were guests at the Christmas assembly. Sophomores worked with Piedmont Community Action in sponsoring Project Heat. Donations made in the Kiss a Pig contest were given to needy families to buy fuel. Juniors planned the prom, and Seniors worked on the senior trip. Reed said, We got off to a slow start in August, and September was an organizational month. Homecoming was basically a success, even though there were problems with vandalism. The Thanksgiving project and free films needed more participation, but Christmas was a great success. A major responsibility of SAC is student-administration relations. Mr. White said, Ever since I have been advisor, students have felt SAC wasn't fighting hard enough for the causes they requested. We have made every effort to better the SAC-student body relationship this year. We have one of the best relationships in the state between student government and an administration. Mr. Delaney consults SAC with news before he takes it to the students. He has given us support on every issue. Rodney, who's also an athlete, said, I feel that SAC really helped out by sponsoring pep rallies. I was inspired by all the encouragement. ■ -i 114 sac Council members (Tres Cox) and (Reed Russel) attended PTA open house to sell mugs to students and parents.

Among these clubs were MAHS (national Art Honor Society) and Ski Club. Membership in NAHS was based on art skill, scholarship, service, and character. Members had to have a 3.0 average in art, been in art at least one semester, and be currently enrolled in an art course. The organization gave student artists an opportunity to interact with other people who had similar interests and to leam more about art outside the classroom. The club met after school on designated Tuesdays and discussed activity ideas, heard guest speakers, and worked on creative projects. A major on-going project was the decorating of the front showcase outside the art department. Taking advantage of, in Susie Con-Ion's words, an opportunity to go skiing,'' students participated in the Ski Club. President Todd Simmons said, The Ski Club is for anyone, be ginner to expert, who loves to ski.'' Advisor Dr. Michael Bates and club officers planned trips to north Carolina resorts including Beech, Hawk's nest, and Sugar. The longest trip was to Snowshoe, in West Virginia, during a weekend in January. 40 students signed up for the trip, paid their deposits, began selling M M's and saving money to finance the trip.

The members of both clubs were very proud of their achievements. HHS; to most students these three letters only stand for one thing: national Honor Society, but to the 126 juniors and seniors who were members they meant much much more. To these students HHS represented hard work, committment, and responsibility. Members are required to maintain a 3.65 QPA and to perform a service project. Vice-president Jim Carter said, People think it s just an honorary club, but we really do a lot of work for the school and the community. About 30 members served as teachers aides. Sarah Haas said, For my service project, I helped Coach Lowe grade papers. While the members were committed to the club, the club was also committed to the members. The national Honor Society sponsored rallys and provided guest speakers to talk about such things as college admissions. In addition, HHS provides a $200 scholarship to a student each year. The club raised money for these committments through such fundraisers as the annual candygram sale. Perhaps the most important quality shared by the members of HHS was responsibility — responsibility to themselves, to their teachers, to their school, and to HHS. President Meg Beaird feels this responsibility more fully than anyone. Meg summed it all up by saying, I want HHS to be a club Beta Club takes on the awesome task of preparing the student phone directory. Members Todd Tidwell and Chiquette Williams work on this yearly project. Although the project takes many man-hours, it is a good source of revenue for the club's service and entertainment activities. t people have pride in. At the beginning of the year the Beta Club started off with a bang when they increased their membership their to 72 members. Invitation to Beta Club was based on a 3.0 QPA, but not all of those with a 3.0 were invited to join. Sharon Martin said, The reason I joined Beta Club was because I not only felt it would look good on my college application, but it was also a great honor. Patricia Swanson agreed and said, The Beta Club has something to offer all its members and has many great ideas. This year the Beta Club participated in activities like the student directory, carnation sale, and State Convention at Myrtle Beach. In the past the Beta Club always sent out red carnations on Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, this year February 14, fell on a Saturday. The Beta Club decided to send out the carnations on Friday which turned out to be Friday the 13th. So, this year students had their choice of sending out red, I love you, carnations or black, I hate you, carnations. The Beta Club also participated in the State Convention held at Myrtle Beach which included a Quiz Bowl, scholastic competition, and a dance at the Landmark. Afterwards Patricia Swanson said, The convention promised to be a lot of fun and partying and it was. The State Convention proved that not only could the club emphasize academics but also have fun. Casey Smith summed it up when he said, The Beta Club can help open up new horizons for all its members. Erika Johnson a Members of NHS listen intently to suggestions for future plans before voting on ideas proposed. Each member is expected to be active in all of the club's projects and activities. {Maintaining a successful club requires hard work by the members and strong leadership from the officers and advisors.

Sponsors were Ms. Helen Gielow and Mrs. Karine Simpkin. Eleven members met every two weeks in one of the computer labs. Meetings involved several forms of research about computers as well as learning more about the roles of computers in business and everyday life. Members took field trips and hosted guest speakers. Amit Patel, president of the group, said, We leam how we can use computers to our advantage in the future, as well as how they can benefit our everyday lives.'' The club was geared to students interested in college. Colleges like to see that students are aware of the force computers will have in the future. Computer Club helps us show our interest in the business aspect of computers ' said Amit. Computer experience is an asset. In an age where computers are prevailed, these skills are advantageous, if not necessary. Another science-related club is Delta Pi. Although the meetings often had more officers than members at monthly meetings, special events attracted members. The redeeming quality of the club was its large treasury. Over 30 members paid dues. Delta Pi had a lot to offer, but many students did not take advantage of it, said president Keith Bell. One well-attended event was the club's annual egg drop competition. Members were invited to build a container to hold an egg and protect it form a drop from the 3rd floor of D Wing. Competition was tough; after several rounds, multiple winners were declared.

The 8 women who live there loved seeing the girls on a weekly basis as well as at the Christmas and Valentine's Day parties the girls held for them. Shannon Smith's favorite project was the Children's Shelter. She said, I want to be a social worker and the shelter was a great experience for me. Girls visited the shelter Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week. Other projects kept the Civinettes busy. Included were serving at school banquets and visiting the Mountain-view nursing Home once a month. Out-of-town conventions were vice-president Andi Goldman's favorite activities.

Aside from its involvement in the spring musical. South Pacific, and the Christmas assembly, the club produced a three-man play. The Autograph Mound, went to competition at Winthrop College, and then held an end-of-the-year awards banquet. All of these activities provided opportunities for members to show their abilities. Lisa Stacy said, I enjoy the Drama Club. I decided to join to become a better actress and to be around others who enjoy the same things as 1 do. There were approximately 30 members of the club who, like David Merritt hoped to benefit my acting career through high school productions. The Literary Club gave interested students and faculty a chance to get together regularly to discuss their writing as well as others'. The club met on the third Thursday of every month. Students got advice and criticism from the other students as they took turns presenting their writing to the group. Every year attendance has increased. Mr .Bill Pell, one of the sponsors, was pleased with how the club has progressed, I love to see students enjoy reading and writing. Students acquire a better understanding of how to read literature and how to write poems and stories, said Mr. Pell. I've always wanted to be able to express myself throi writing.

Then students gathered in a large circle during a prayer request time. Afterwards came Katrina Foster's favorite element, “playing volleyball or basketball . .. because I love to have fun.” What made FCA a popular club, according to Sharon Pitts, was “the chance for people to enjoy sharing their thoughts and having fan at the same timne as doing something for the good of others.” The club sponsored service projects, showed group support of wrestling, basketball, and soccer events, and had joint meetings with Block “S.” Todd Justice found the sense of sharing beneficial. “1 think it has given me a chance to meet other concerned athletes that participate in sports other than my own. I met new people and have a better relationship j with my peers.” The Zonta Club's service included activities hosted for underpriviledged families in Spartanburg. For the Christmas season they held a party for underpriviledged children at the Bethlehem Center. They conducted money-raisers to finance the year's projects.

These were the Chess Club, the Mu Alph Theta math honorary, and the Racquetball Club. The Chess Club, whose purpose is, of course, to play and to leam new strategies, is open to all students who maintain a ”C average. It met every other Thursday and planned to play other schools. Sophomore member Patrick Clow-ney, who has been playing chess since he was ten years old, said, I believe that the real purpose of the Chess Club is not only to play chess, but to simply have fun!'' Mu Alpha Theta is an honorary club co-sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America and the na- tional Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The purpose of Mu Alpha Theta is to develop more interest in math and to promote the enjoyment of 1 math among high school students. To be eligible for membership, one must have completed three years of college preparatory math, maintained a B average in those courses, and have a cumulative ”B” average. The third new club is the Racquet-ball Club. This club met once a week at the Spartanburg Athletic Club. To belong, one must have only a racquet and a 2.0 GPA. This club's main purpose was to help people improve their games. Raju Channa said, The Racquet-ball Club is lots of fun, and it gives you a great chance to play the game with your friends.

Beth McClure Each person had his own special talents and abilities that made him different. Yet all these unique people came together to form one student body that would continue the tradition of excellence. through individual accomplishments and joint efforts, the school was again recognized as superior on the whole. The jocks ' the brains, the preps, the punks, and the artsies each contributed in their own way to make the school a better place. The variety allowed a complementary mixture. Alone, a strange assortment; together, a beautiful collage. Kaju Channa One thing all students share is attending class and taking notes; Elizabeth Owensby is no exception. (One definitely unique and individual talent is skateboarding. The Pit is used for more than parking cars. r (Being creative individuals and also working together with Key and Anchor to give a Halloween party at SCSDB are Clay Harmon, Reed Russell, and Carrie Cooke. V people division 141 The, but of toe, but 87 OuttfaMduig SenioU The continuing tradition of excellence is not someting that happens by accident. A school that regularly boasts the highest number of national Merit Semifinalists in the state, that regularly wins numerous region and state athletic titles, that has numerous students winning scholarships and military appointments to continue their education, has award winning teachers, and the number one principal in the country must also have outstanding individual students who make these things possible. Every department has won awards because of its outstanding programs. The music department boasts an award winning band, show choir, and orchestra. The art department consis-tantly has local, state, and nationally recognized students. The Language Arts department sponsors outstanding writers who have won awards locally, statewide, and nationally through the NCTE. Science and foreign language students compete and win awards in a number of state, regional, and national competitions. The Model Congress and Model UN teams sponsored by the social studies departments make strong showings. AP students regularly exempt college courses on the basis of their AP test scores. Leading all this excellence are certain individuals recognized for their individual contributions by a vote of the faculty and administration.

They set out to make the 12th grade an unforgettably successful one, too. They were the Class of '87! With the leadership of class officers, the senior class completed an exciting year. Plans for a trip to New Orleans, LA as a class adventure were drawn up by the SAC members who were chosen in the previous spring to represent their fellow classmates. This same worthy group also put together winning ideas for homecoming week, and painted the traditional spirit flag on the E- 87 neaflly hoi ctaU wing courtyard. Senior homeroom presidents also play a supporting role in developing the strength, unity, and success of their class. Assisting the SAC members in class and school projects, these students performed many jobs from phoning parents for PTA to raising infinite sums of money for hungry families. As 12th graders realized that this was the last chance to have an impact, they became more and more important to the school and community through their contributions. This great group of seniors really had class! SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Tres Cox. secretary-treasurer: Tracy Y.

Then youth soccer isn't for you. The rewards for coaching soccer are purely intangible. Tour SHS students coached soccer: Claude Taylor, Jeff Eaucette, Bobby Vaughn, and John Ty-singer. Each coached teams for AYSO, the American Youth Soccer Organization. Claude and Jeff coached the Silver Bullets, a team of 8 and 9 year olds, while Bobby and John's team was called the Dreadnoughts. Jeff, Bobby, and John all played soccer at the time or had played soccer previously. Claude though had never played on a soccer V team. I never played soccer before I started coaching, but if you've got a good relationship with the kids, then your own skills are kind of secondary, said Claude. Bobby and John handled the soccer part of the team while Bobby's mother did the paperwork and worked with the parents. Claude and Jeff, on the other hand, handled their team completely on their own. Although sometimes coaching can really be a problem, all the coaches agreed that it was all worth it. Bobby said, Nothing compares to feeling I get when my team scores a goal or wins a game.

Qkdtkni cm a if)Cjdc£ bmd Claude Taylor Ever wondered about those Kids with the strange haircuts and the weird clothes? They are skateboarders, or' skaters , and they're all over SHS. It's more than just being able to ride a skateboard,'' said Rice Macfie. It's an attitude and lifestyle.'' Rice's attire, for example, both on and off his skateboard, is usually a pair of clamdig-gers, a beret, and a pair of high tops. Hundreds of scars on his body are just afew examples of what he calls pavement engrave-ment or road pizza. You can't just buy a skateboard and become a skater, said Eric Sigg. You gotta skate for years. wherever and whenever you can. Scott Opgenorth, another skater, believed that music was a very important part of the skater lifestyle. Most skaters only listen to punk groups like Dead Milkmen, the Dead Kenne-dys, and JEA. You gotta be in the right mind to skate. When asked about the image skaters seem to have as violent juvenile delinquents, Rice said, Shoot, I've hardly ever hurt anybody. Undoubtedly it was the three-inch fishhook hanging from a necklace of rusty safety pins around his neck that led people astray. Powderpuff 4.

That was the problem facing two juniors. Thomas Vink and Inga Michler, both from Germany, spent a year as exchange students. Thomas came from Gronau, a small town near the Dutch border. Inga is from a small town outside of Dusseldorf. Both arrived in Spartanburg shortly before school started courtesy of the Educational Foundational for Foreign Students. When Thomas arrived in America, the first thing he noticed was the difference in temperature. It was 45 degrees when I left Frankfurt, but when I got here the temperature was in the 90 s, Thomas said. He was also surprised by the size of SHS; his school in Germany had only 900 students. He noticed the openess and kindness of the people'' at SHS. Inga also noticed differences between her home and Spartanburg. She felt things here were spread out. Here everything is so wide; the towns are more concentrated at home. Inga also noted the school spirit shown by the students. While in America, both Inga and Thomas practiced other languages besides English. Inga was a member of the German and Spanish clubs and took French and Spanish. Thomas was also a member of the German club and took Spanish. Inga and Thomas both enjoyed the time they spent in America. Inga said, I'm not homesick, but I miss my family and friends. Thomas said that he was too busy to miss home. Owi G imm Comecttott ANGELA LOUISE EAST SOSH 2; Powderpuff 3; Norse News Rep. 4. SHANNON ELIZABETH EBERT French 4; Con. Orch. 2; Sym. Orch. 3, 4.

Anne BiggerstafT PwAwee and potte, count Did you ever think that you might open up a magazine one day and see one of your classmates? There are quite a few students at Spartan High who are well on their way to becoming high-fashion models. Michelle Faulkner, Ellen Brooks, Mary Petty, Vicki Williams, and Julie Feitel are among a group of very talented people with high hopes for the future. When people think of models, they usually think of tall, skinny, and gorgeous girls. Tall and thin are definite requirements, but in recent years, top agencies have begun looking for talented, eager, and devoted people. Having a beautiful face helps, but it isn't a necessity. Julie Feitel enjoys modeling, but doesn't have career plans for it; she just enjoys it as a hobby. Ellen is a senior and has been modeling since age 12. She says she has always had an interest in modeling. Her favorite aspect of the business is photography, and she hopes to make a career of it some day. Being a model is not as easy as most people think. Besides having the correct physical qualifications, a good mental psyche is a must. It takes confidence, a great deal of patience, determination, and hard work. V y FBLA 3. SAMDRA RAY FELMET Track 2. 4. DAVID L. FERGUSOM GEORGE AMTHOMY FERGUSOM FBLA 2. TAMMY E. FERGUSOM RAMDOLPM R.

Heather Neely Writers, poets, and artists all need to start somewhere and work their way up. A good way to start is to get something published in Maggies Drawers published by USCS or First Circle published at SHS, two literary magazines featuring the work of students. Craig Karriker was one of the students who had his work published in both magazines. I was very happy and anxious to see them in print, Craig said, I thought it would be pretty neat to see something I wrote in a literary magazine. he had three poems accepted. Wntfm Chris Arbuckle also had poems published. They were 'Grief for a nation and 'Reflection of a Third Generation Rich White Boy . I was promised an A + on my Odyssey project if I was published, Chris said, how did he feel? Very happy since I got my A + . The latter poem also won him a third place for poetry in the English Department's Mary Louise Dargan writing competition. Daisy Conway heard about the magazines through teachers and friends. The idea of recognition drew her attention. Daisy was glad her work was in the, mkiiig accepted. Ernie Blevins had two poems published, Skeletons in the Closet and Ballad of Kings Mountain . Remarking on his feelings after he heard he was published, Ernie said, I was proud and pleased when I found out they were published. Other students published in '86 were: Hunter Coleman, Steven Oliver, Janet Wagner, Briles Lever, Heidi Hays, Thet Prak, Kathy Moore, Vicki Williams, and Claire Youngblood.

ANGELA LOREE HUBBARD ---------------------------- KiU Ob Pig ckauli Would r Kiss a Pig winner Mr. Horace Reece collects his prize. V Tammie McCarlcy What was a pig doing in Viking territory? Puckering up for Mr. Horace Reese and Mr. Chris White that's what! The amusing and cute little barnyard animal was brought to halftime of a December Varsity Boys' Basketball game by SAC to raise money for Project Heat. The Sophomore council members, under the leadership of class president Patrick Clowney and secretary- treasurer CeCe Cubitt, sponsored the event by having students donate money to the teachers of their choice over a seven-day period. The two teachers with the largest amount of money collected, Mr. Horace Reese and Mr. Chris White, were bestowed the honor of kissing the pig on center court. Mr. Reese raised $88.97 while Mr. White raised $64.96 with some friendly help from Mrs. Marilyn Cox and Mr. Joe Delaney. Patrick said, We were very pleased with the event. We got the idea at an SAC district rally. It was a good project to help people in our community who really need it. CeCe added positive comments about the event by saying, The grand total raised was $394.12. This says a lot for the students and teachers of SHS. Their participation and support was great and we really did appreciate it. The event packed in a rowdy crowd who wanted to get their donation's worth by seeing their choice pucker up to the pig. y 156 seniors JAMES WATTS HUDGENS Soccer 1. 2. 4; NHS 3, 4; French Club 2. 3. 4; Sym.

New Hampton NH 2. 3. r Aindty tv top gcuc Sarah Bearden Top guns at SMS — well maybe not yet. They are the SMS pilots: James Bearden, R.J. Reminsneider, Todd Simmons, Tim Taylor, Jay Traywick, Robert Wolfe, and Mrs. Billie Edmonds. Ever wanted to go to Charleston, Myrtle Beach, or Savannah, Georgia, just for a day? Make a deal with one of these pilots and they just might take you. James, Todd, and Tim already have their pilot licenses. Earning the license is a challenge. Robert said, It takes about a year to a year and a half to earn it. It involves 20 hours of instruction and 20 hours of solo flying, which includes 10 hours of cross country flying.'' It also involves taking a written exam and finally a checkride with a certified FAA instructor. Cost runs about $2250 for the required hours, not including extra hours of flying and cost for instruction books. You can find these pilots at the Spartanburg Downtown Airport; most of them working to earn money to fly. It s pretty expensive; you need some kind of income to afford it, Tim said. Why do they want to leam how to fly? I always wanted to do it. Flying a airplane is a freedom, James said. You get to look down on everything and see stuff you've never seen before — besides the fact that it's a lot of fun, added Robert. When asked how safe she thought it was, Mrs. Edmonds said, It's pretty safe; you are taught not to panic. You have to be careful though; it's like driving in downtown traffic sometimes. Jay, Todd, Tim, and Mrs. Edmonds do flying as a hobby. James, Tim, and Robert plan a military flying career. Good luck, flyers! V Megan McCullough A single-engine prop plane is a typical one students learned to fly. This one is used by Todd Simmons. {Before a pilot can take off. there are many procedures to complete. Todd Simmons is doing some last minute checks of the instrument panel. J seniors 159 r Kumtiig tv gfony Spartan High was blessed with a super athlete when senior Charlie Willbanks started running 7 years ago. Willbanks also played soccer for the varsity team. How does an athlete get started? Willbanks said, 'When I was in the 6th grade, my teacher noticed my running speed and had me call Coach Jim Kilbreth. I started playing soccer at Pine Street and on AYSO teams ' Little did he know then how far he would go. Willbanks started running for Spartan High in the 7th grade and ran for SHS throughout his years here, excepting two years during which he attended a private school in Charleston. There he ran in the top position for the varsity team. He has earned 6 varsity letters in running and 5 in soccer, illustrating the rewards that can come from hard work. Some rewards Charlie earned are: numerous first place finishes, SC Soccer Honor Roll, All-State Cross Country, County Cross Country Champion, first annual game ball run for the Shrine Bowl, County Meet record holder for the 880, and numerous others. He has set many course records at other schools while running cross country meets, and was offered a full scholarship to USC Spartanburg. This year he helped the Cross Country team to the State Championship. What does it take to be an athlete like Charlie? Willbanks replied, It takes a lot of dedication and even more self discipline. But most of all, it takes a lot of hard work. How does the top runner and center halfback get ready for that exciting game or meet? First I psyche myself up mentally and then I make sure I am ready physically to play or run to the best of my ability. Whatever Charlie did he did well, and he really helped his fellow teammates. Charlie Will-banks is an athlete who should be recognized for his strong ability and speed. Spartan High was blesed to have such a talented athlete; hopefully he will be an asset to teams elsewhere.

Whit Vinesett and David Brown hosted those hungry guys, otherwise known as The Breakfast Club ' in their homes every Friday morning before football games. Although the food was very tempting, it wasn't the only subject of these meetings. Doug Eubanks said. We eat breakfast and then we have a devotion given by Caz McCaslin from First Baptist Church.'' David Brown commented, I think this helps the team in that it inspires us and brings us closer as a team.' Caz is the recreational director at First Baptist Church, continued David, and it was his idea to start The Breakfast Club. This year was the First year that The Breakfast Club was introduced and it will probably be here for a long time to come. (mi oM you cm cat Megan McCullough Megan McCullough The Breakfast Club allows time for good food and good fellowship. Any guy who could make the early hour was invited to attend. ♦The breakfast part of the club would not have been possible without Mrs. Barbara Vinesett and the mounds of bacon, sausage, and eggs she prepared. David Brown. Richard Reid, and David Stokes engage in a discussion of Friday night s game while they enjoy a hearty breakfast.

These remarks and many others could sometimes be heard in the halls by a select group of students. These students all have one thing in common — their parents work at SHS. These students viewed this situation in a variety of ways. Julie Story said, It's both good and bad having my mother here. She always knows what's going on at school and she tells me about important events and things to sign up for. At first thought I supposed it would be terrible; but now I find it convienient and sometimes helpful, said Martha Petoskey. Kristin Whitley, Ryan Delaney, Russell Racine, Reed Rus- sell, and Adam Brumfield all agreed by saying that they rarely ever see their parents during school and that they're pretty much indifferent to the situation. Against popular belief, the majority of these students, feel as if they have not received any special pri-viledges. However they all agreed that there are numerous advantages of having a parent at school, for example, Christy Godfrey said, The thing I like best about my mom here is that I am able to put my books in her room and use her room for my locker. The disadvantages — even though they exist — are few. For instance many of these students feel as if their parents check up on them however, many say that they don’t really mind this. A few felt as if they lost their own identity because they became labeled as so and so's son daughter. Debbie Drucker said, I feel as if the worst disadvantage is that everyone expects me to be perfect in math; just because my mother teaches in the math department. Other students whose parents work at school included: Chris Arbuckle, David Brumfield, Leah Brumfield, Joe Delaney, Erika Johnson, William Kratochvil, Clay Mahaffey, Capers Martin, Harrison Martin, Gardner McDaniel, Dana Or-choff, Kelly Petoskey, Scott Quinn, Chris Story, Ruark Thomas, and Todd Tidwell. % J JAMES HOWARD MOODY.

V___________________________ Leftki Kim Younq Left handed people are more intelligent that right handed people. If you are a left handed person, you probably agreed with that statement. Unfortunately, being left handed doesn't make you smart in itself, and it let you in for other problems. Debbie Drucker agreed that being left handed can be nothing but a pain at times. It's a disadvantage. I have a really hard time trying to cut with regular scissors. I almost always bump into the person next to me when I'm eating, especially if that person is right handed.'' However, Debbie said she has never wished to be right handed because being a leftie is a sign of individuality. Toni Ar- nold said she has wished a hundred times that she were right handed. I can remember staying after school for extra help because I had trouble keeping up with right handed students who could write faster. Toni continued, The worst handicap is working with scissors. The next worst was learning how to drive a stick shift. My right arm is a lot weaker and shifting gears gets tiring. I've tried to overcome it by exercising and practicing shifting. Karlo Byers thought left handed people really were more intelligent, because they use the right side of their brain. He said few people have ever teased him about being a leftie and those who have, wished they hadn't! Rex Hill said his biggest problem as a leftie was playing the bass guitar. He plays with the gospel group The Comforters and his solution is to hold the guitar upside down. I couldn't leam to play the regular way, so I turned the guitar to make it more comfortable. Holding the instrument this way is a good way to get attention when I performing in concerts. People always seem to notice me, and they are amazed at how well I can play that way. Left handed people have other difficulties in a right handed world. Golf clubs, some student desks, and many other items are set up for right handed folks. Maybe left handed people really are more intelligent; after all, they have learned to function in a world designed for the convenience of the right handed. ■N J Bl. hist. 2, 3, 4; MHS 2, 3, 4; Del.

Debbie Drucker Kevin Smith, please come to the office.” five minutes later, 3 people show up answering to the name Kevin Smith. Will the real Kevin Smith please stand up? Does this incident sound familiar to you? To a considerable number of students this is an ordinary occurence. These students suffer because they have a common name which they share with one or even more persons at school. Many of these students complained about having a common name. They criticized the fact that their names are often confused. Amy M. Long said, I don't like the fact that my mail gets mixed up with Amy J. Long's.” Amy J. agreed. Another complaint was that unless an initial was used when one was called to the office, they didn't know whether or not to show up. Kevin E. Smith and Kevin W. Smith found this their major problem. Greg K. Davis said, Another problem is that our records sometimes get mixed up.” Although there is no sure solution to these dilemnas, Jennifer M. Myers said she alleviated some difficulties, 1 just changed my name so that 1 go by Jenny.” In a school this size, it's inevitable that similar and duplicate names will be a problem.

John Ross, and Claude Taylor. V essary to deliver a sound thrashing to the Byrnes Rebels in the first round of competition. Chris dominated the pop music category and fished the team out of trouble on several occasions, while John anchored the team with his speedy buzzer hand and his quiz game know-how. The team was sponsored by Dr. Michael Bates and Mrs. Linda Leary, who provided encouragement as well as a little insight into what exactly was going on. The quiz game consisted of a series of ten-point questions, followed by a bonus round, a set of fifteen-point questions, and finally another bonus round. The questions were taken from geography, history, math, art, science, literature, and entertainment categories. They really pushed us to our limits,'' Chris said of the young-but-strong Byrnes team. Jeff agreed that their opponents initially gave them a run for their money, but he noted that SHS had pretty much sealed it by the end of the first bonus round, from there it was clear sailing, __________________________________________________J said John, who was no stranger to quiz bowl competition. Another mentally demanding activity sponsored by Mrs. Leary and Dr. Bates was the Problem Solving Team. Actually divided into two teams, one of sophomores and one of seniors, the group attempted to solve certain problems for competition. Each team was first given a fuzzy situation from which twenty problems were taken. These then had to be narrowed down into one underlying problem, which the team then had to solve. Each team was allowed only two hours for the entire process. It's a real challenge, said John Duncan of the Problem Solving experience. Sophomore Mike Welch added that it's a real brain strain.' Most members agreed that the most exciting aspect of the activity was the possiblity of competing nationally. If we can place high enough in the north and South Carolina competition, then it's on to the big leagues, said Jeff fau-cette. Concert Orch. 2, 3, 4; SOSM 2; DECA pres. 3; Zonta 4, French 2; Grad.

V__________________________________________________________ Sarah Bearden How would you like to take a break from school for a month — legally? Apply to be a page in Washington .C., and you can do it. The SHS students that have worked as pages are Jamie Fulmer, Temple McMillan, Jami Reaves, Mary Schoen, and Janet Wagner. You can only be a page during your junior year. To obtain an application you must write to the office of a SC senator or check with a school adviser who can call a local office and possibly obtain the application quicker. The work that pages do includes running errands, writing letters, answering phones, filing papers, giving tours of the Capitol, and doing whatever else needs to be done. The pages do their schoolwork from home in Page School, which is held in the Library of Congress from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM every morning. But according to SMS student pages, it is difficult to keep up. Mary Schoen said, (During our free time) groups of pages would go out together. We went to see all the tourist spots in D.C., and we went to Georgetown a lot to eat out and to shop.'' In Washington the pages either stayed in the homes of office workers or in the page dorm in the city. Jami and Mary were in Washington last spring, and Jamie, Temple, and Janet attended last fall. Jami Reaves said that she wanted to work as a page because, “I'm interested in government, and I wanted to see what the life of a senator is actually like. I was able to learn more about how government operates, and 1 found that the life of a senator interests me. I also made great friends that I'll never forget.'' Working as a page was also a very maturing'' experience. Mary said, I learned how to budget my money and to survive in a big city by myself; however, the main thing I learned was how to deal with adults in a working environment. So if you're interested in being a page, get an application. Jamie Fulmer said, 1 would definitely recommend it to others because it was a great experience just living and working in D.C. _________________ J FBLA (DMVC) 3, Pari. 4.

The class of '87 found that being a senior was indeed the best of times . . . the worst of times ' These upperclass-! men had struggled through eleven years of education. | At the top of the heap, seniors met with new-found freedoms and, surprisingly, |unprecedented responsibilities. Being a senior was cause for some pleasures, however lacking in quality or quantity. There were, of i course, early dismissal 1 bells at lunch and at 3:00 P.M., front-row seats in assemblies, special yearbook portraits, and partially un- restricted senior study halls. For some seniors, later curfews at night, and unchaperoned vacations were other advantages to being older and, supposedly, more mature. Also, for the hard-working and enduring seniors who finished second semester classes with a B + average and no unexcused absences, there was the oppurtunity to exempt final exams. For other twelfth graders, senioritis struck early. Many took crip courses, slacked off in other areas, and, in general, partied as if there were no tomorrow. Such students were tired of the drudgery of being in an Toy Ken fro IChris Scott assists Margaret Ordering graduation announce-Johnson preparing to make the ments is one of the joys of being a morning announcements, a se- senior, at least until it's time to niors only'' duty. pay. and best institution. They were ready to let loose. Yet being set free on June 5, 1987 meant that plans had to be made. Interviews, SAT's, forms, and worries became a normal part of their lives as they prepared for life after high school. The senior year was the last stretch of a long journey down a road full of memories. Among these memories, friendships ranked high. Moreover, for some, this was not the end, but instead, it was only the beginning. For graduation was, after all, a commencement, the entrance into the adult world. Mr. Buford Mobley keeps the seniors in line. Briles Lever is stopped in the hall for no visible pass, but fortunately for him there's a SAGA pass hidden under his jacket. w Raju Channa J seniors 177 Crika Johnson r.rika Johnson UNDERCLASSMEN Beth McClure 178 underclassmen Anne Arbuckle JUNIOR HR PRESIDENTS: Front Row: Lea Jabbour, Laura McLeon.

Senior David Sereque experienced an unusual summer as he prepared with his rock band to go into a recording studio. David began working towards his dream of a music career. This was his first experience in the studio. I was nervous, kind of anxious. It made me feel real professional. It was a lot of fun! Hot summer days and nights of three hour rehearsals, frustrations, and eventual satisfaction prepared the southern rock band known in the area as Whiterock, for eight hours of studio work. The band, which had been together for 3 months, recorded 4 songs at Spring-dale Studio in Mays, SC. Instead of preparing himself for the start of his senior year, David, the group s bass player, devoted the last day of his summer vacation to the production of the band's demo tape. Whiterock recorded Somebody Like You (by .38 Special), Money, Money (by Billy Idol), Strung Out (by Steve Perry), and a special song Dreams I'll never See (by Molly Hatchett). This particular song is motivational to the group. David explained why it is used to close their performances. We won't see the dreams unless we follow them. Other members of Whiterock are Adam Hatley and Bo Pryor. All of them share a dream of a career in the music industry. David's individual talents allow him to compose music as well as perform. He also plays the drums and keyboard.

Head bangin' rock-n-roll. It was a favorite pasttime for most high schoolers, and no one did it better than the high school bands. SHS was the home to such bands as Axxis, the Tuzzbusters,'' and Depo Provera. The interesting thing was how these bands found a revived interest in the 60 s music and heavy metal. Josh Tennent said, We play older music because groups such as Led Zeppelin and the Who had something that current top-40 doesn't have . . . Talent!!'' Rich Proctor, Baker Maultsby, Russel Tillitt, and Toby Gillespie made up the Tuzzbusters.'' Baker said, We play mostly 60 s music with a little 70 s and 50's thrown in ... no top-40. Josh, Gary Douglas, and Chris Edwards made up Depo Provera. They played regularly at Dawggone and played 60 s music with just a mild portion of heavy metal. Depo Provera, like most others of these bands was fairly new and a bit apprehensive about the future. Chris said, If we stay together, fine! If we don't, it will still work out well. Axxis, with Gerd Faul-stich is a strictly metal band. Axxis had been together the and showed what a lot of bands lack, staying power. In a few years, you may here an album or a basement tape, and these bands may still be rockin'. ___________________________J PATRICIA CLOWNEY 11 MARK COATES 11 TRACEY COFTEY 11 LINDA COK 11 GREG COKER 10 RENEE COKER 11 AMY COLEMAN 10 PATRICIA COLEMAN 11 CHAD COLLINS 11 RENEE COLLINS 11 SUSANNE CONLON 11 ROBBY CONN 11 CHRISTY COOK 10 MICHELLE COOKSEY 11 RANDY COOKSEY 11 EBONY COPELAND 10 PAUL COPELAND 10 ROSA COPELAND 11 MEREDITH CORBETT 10 KRISTAN COTTON 11 KERRY COX 10 SHAY COX 10 WILLIE CRAFT 11 GINA CRANEORD 10 182 underclassmen LESLIE CRAVEN 10 ANGELENE CRENSHAW 10 JANINE CREWS 11 SCOTT CROCKER 10 JEFT CROMER 11 CHRIS CROSBY 10 MICHELLE CROXDALE 11 CECE CUBITT 10 KIM CUBITT 10 CHAD CUNNINGHAM 11 SABRINA CUNNINGHAM 10 KRISTY CUTLER 11 CINDY DALLAS 11 KENNETRA DANIEL 10 NICOLE DANTZLER 11 CYNTHIA DA SILVA 11 CALVIN DAVIS 10 rin davis li JACK DAVIS 11 LISA DAVIS 11 SHERRIE DAVIS 10 STEVEN DAVIS 10 STEVEN DAVIS 11 VENA DAVIS 10 EURENA DAWKINS 11 STEVE DEATON 11 RYAN DELANEY 11 SAM DELL 11 TEDDI DICKERSON 10 CAM DILLARD 11 CASSIE DILLARD 10 SHANNON DILLARD 11 KAREN DINSMORE 10 RANDY DOGAN 11 STEPHEN DONALD 11 GARY DOUGLAS 11 KELLY DRAKE 11 JAMES DRENNAN 11 RICHARD DRENNAN 10 DEBBIE DRUCKER 11 ALLISON DRULEY 11 DAVID DUNN 11 JENNIFER DYE 11 MELANIE DYER 11 KITT EADDY 10 TREY EARLE 11 WENDY EASLER 10 ANTHONY EDGINS 11 HAYWARD EDMUNDS 11 JULIA EDMUNDS 10 DONALD EDWARDS 10 GINA EDWARDS 10 MELISSA EDWARDS 10 STEPHANIE EDWARDS 10 underclassmen 183 TAMMY EDWARDS 11 JOSH ELEDGE 11 MARK ELLIOTT 11 CYNTHIA ELM 11 TONY ELMORE 11 SCOTT ELVINGTON 11 JONATHAN ERDE 11 ERRICA EZELL 11 LORI EARAG 10 RENA TARR 11 MICHELLE FAULKNER 1 1 GERD FAULSTICH 11 ADELIA FEASTER 10 JULIET FEITEL 11 SONYA FERGUSON 11 ANTHONY FERNANDERS 11 YVONDA FERNANDIS 1 CHRIS FICHLING 10 SHARON FINCH 10 BRIGIT FISCHER 10 LORI FISGUS 11 REGGIE FLEMING 10 STACEY FLEMING 10 ASHLEY FLY 11 ANDREA FOSTER 11 ANGELA FOSTER 11 CALVIN FOSTER 10 IZELL FOSTER 10 KATRINA FOSTER 11 MICHELLE FOSTER 11 ROBERTA FOSTER 10 TAMMY FOUSE 10 DANA FOWLER 10 KEITH FOWLER 11 DONNA FRANCIS 11 SHARON FRANKS 10 NICOLE FREDERIC 10 JESSE FREEMAN 10 JAMIE FULMER 11 CHRIS GAFFNEY 11 DONNA GAFFNEY 10 MANDY GAINES 10 BUZZY GAGE 10 CHARLES GARRETT 11 MITZI GARY 11 LINDA GATES 11 KEVIN GAULT 11 JAY GEDDINGS 11 TOMMY GELOTTE 11 ROBIN GIBSON 10 SON GIEP 10 KATHY GILL 11 TOBY GILLESPIE 11 STACY GLENN 10 184 underclassmen A (oC of peopA mk Uuyk tiUjlit Michael Slovensky At home, most people have mothers to keep things clean and organized, but who took the responsibility at SHS? Janitors such as George Oily saw to it that the halls and rooms were habitable. Some of his tasks included cleaning the steps, halls, and kitchens, and keeping the grounds neat. Cafeteria workers like Barbara Thrift made sure that all the lunches were cooked and the salad bar was ready. Secretary Wilhel-menia Johnson described her job in the office as doing just about everything. She helped keep things organized, got mail to the right place, and made sure substitutes were contacted and prepared. Together, these people helped keep the school running smoothly and efficiently.

Mo, it was either Scott or David Hartle. The Hartles went to the Pro-muscle Body Building and Fitness training camp for one week in New Jersey. Frank Zane and eight other counselors, including two girls, taught the camp. There was a wide range of people, from 14 to 45 years old. While at camp, they received a lot of recognition. They appeared in articles in the Hew York Times and in newspapers from Ft. Lauderdale to Salzburg, Paris, and The Hague. They were on the front page of the International Herald Tribune. They have been approached by the representative from a muscle magazine and a man who is doing a muscle calendar. They have received fan mail from all over the world. David said of the camp. What I learned in one week at the camp would have taken me years to learn on my own. 1 learned about exercise, nutrition, concentration, and relax- ation. I got tons of motivation.'' Scott said, The camp helped my knowledge of body building. The week was very concentrated and put me a couple of years ahead of where 1 was before.'' Both Hartles are continuing with the programs set up for them at camp. Their diet is low fat, high protein, and high carbohydrate. They stick to good food and no ice cream, candy, cookies, or junk food. Both agree that mental attitude is a most important part of their programs. You have to be mentally strong to be successful, said David. 'You have to be willing to make sacrifices. Sometimes it's kind of like tunnel vision. Some people don't like that, but that's what it takes. Scott and David plan to continue with their body building after high school. They hope to enter contests during the summer and to get to Muscle Beach, CA.

Well, plenty of students did just that. These kids were involved in all facets of Theatre Spartanburg's production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas performed October 2-5, 9-12, and 16-18. Time was spent doing such things as acting in the play, ushering, working back-stage, or being in the orchestra ensemble, but above all-rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing. These students become involved in the play for a va- riety of reasons; however they all agreed that the main reason was because they loved the theatre. Senior Erika Johnson decided to audition for The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas because, I have been doing Youth Theatre for five years, and I have been wanting to do adult theatre.'' Junior Ellie Lister said, 1 was in the recent production of Evita and really in-joyed it; and I had met many people, many of whom were going to be in Whorehouse. These students, overall, enjoyed their experiences. Many of them had friends who were in this production, therefore they enjoyed it even more. Junior Andrew Metz said, I enjoyed helping out in the theatre, contributing my time and effort.'' Many of the students who participated in Whorehouse believed that they would become involved in many more Theatre Spartanburg productions. Junior Rachel Bird, who was an usher, said, In the future, I would much rather be acting in the production than ushering for it! Rehearsing small but importnat parts backstage. Sanford Starnes, Erika Johnson, and Harrison Martin go over their lines before the opening night curtain for Whorehouse.

V NonOwm MigltboU mp dwmq iumm (kouqlifr Anne Biggcrstaff The summer of 86 holds many happy memories for most, but for some the three months from May to August were less than vacation. The drought of the past summer was one of the worst in recent history. It also hit closer to home when many Spartan High students' summer plans were marred by the lack of rain. Students who counted on an income from yardwork and other such related jobs suffered tremendously. Grass didn't grow, crops and gardens died, and some local companies went bankrupt. One of these was Piedmont Seed Company. As a result, the company was forced to lay-off several people including Jeff McLaughlin and Toby Gillespie. Some got relief by hanging out at local pools, others at the beach, some even went as far as to leave town to cool off. In Jeffs words the drought was ‘pretty bad . Perhaps an understatement, but true. The severity of this summer's tragedy won't soon be forgotten and recovery continues still. SC farmers got much needed help during the drought from generous farmers in the north. Thousands of tons of hay and grain were donated. Many businesses loaned trucks and drivers volunteered their time to haul in the gifts. Trucks and boxcars returned to their home states bearing huge thank-you posters from SC. A local TV station sponsored a video of singing South Carolinians thanking northern states. Clemson sponsored a barbecue and a Thanksgiving dinner attended by more than 400 of the friends from the north. The drought was officially declared over the last week of November when rainfall finally replenished the water table. It was a summer not many will soon forget. 194 underclassmen AME POLLARD 11 KAI POOAGITH 10 lorie Ann POOLE 10 LORI POOLE 10 GREG PORTER 10 JASPER PORTER 10 HOPE POTEAT 10 RHONDA POTEAT 11 SAMMY POTEAT 11 TRACEY POTEAT 10 ANGELA POWELL 10 TIFFANY POWELL 10 RAY PRATER 11 TIM PRATER 10 BILLY PRICE 10 KIM PRICE 10 MELLITA PRICE 11 PARMELE PRICE 11 THERESA PRINCE 11 MARTIN PRINGLE 10 VALDA PROCTOR 10 CHARLIE PROVEAUX 11 CRAIG PRUITT 11 MARK PRUITT 11 TOM PRZYBELSKI 10 TRACEY PULLIAM 10 FRAN QUANTZ 11 TONY QUILLEN 11 RUSSELL RACINE 10 PATRICK RAWLINSON 11 BEVERLY REECE 11 JERRY REEDE 11 ELIZABETH REEVES 11 RICHARD REID 11 SHANNON REILLY 10 FOY RENFRO 11 JAMIE RHODES 11 STEPHANIE RHODES 11 CORA RICE 11 MALIK RICHARDSON 10 RICHARD RICKS 10 ROBERT ROBBS ASIA ROBERSON 11 SHANE ROBERTS 11 JONATHAN ROBERTSON 10 TONYA ROBERTSON 10 ANTOINE ROBINSON 11 AMANDA ROGERS 10 NESHELL ROGERS 10 MATT ROMINE 11 JEFF ROPER 10 HOWELL RUEHL STEPHEN RUPPE underclassmen 195 Toy Renfro A laid of co fife How can regular high school students maintain a high school status and still go to college? Last summer some people took college courses. The students that went to college found out about thesse special programs through their guidance counselors. Keith Bell, who went to Harvard University, said, I took German because I needed the equivalent of two years high school language for certain colleges. Other students audited or sat in on classes, like Sarah Haas who audited calculus; she said, I took the course so it would be easier in my A.P. Calculus course. Some of the colleges that offered summer programs were Harvard, Duke, Princeton, Davidson, Wofford, USCS, and Cornell. These programs offerred students opportunities to meet people and experience college life. Beth McClure, who went to Duke, said, I met people from Texas, California, Iowa, Ohio, . . . The aca- demics, the athletics, the social life and the overall atmosphere were really impressive. In preparation for college, Andi Goldman took an SAT course at Wofford. She said, ”1 hope it will held me when I take the SAT in October. During the week of class they mainly studied and worked on practice SAT tests. They worked on reading comprehension, antonyms, geometry, and algebra skills. Harvard,” said Keith Bell, taught me to work intensively in order to leave time for other things. My schedule was five days a week, two hours a day, for eight weeks. The schedule was similar for all summer college programs. Some of the students that went to the college programs really enjoyed them. Beth said, I really liked what Duke had to offer; I had a great overall program and I would like to go to college there. Keith agreed saying, I plan to go to Harvard since 1 loved Boston.

You are already late to your class, and your locker won't open. Lots of students had these things and more happen to them. By using their imaginations, they became The Fix-it Experts. Jammed lockers tended to be the most common problem faced. Commenting on how he fixed his locker, William Moss said, First I'd kick it a couple of times. Sometimes more violent measures were required. I'd try to tear it up to get in, said Andre Mar- Fix tin. Another area of expertise was mending clothing. How do you clean up after a spill? I use notebook paper and school soap, Ni-sey Meadows said. Even shoes may need to be fixed. A broken heel can easily be fixed according to Lynda Bond. Ask a teacher for some adhesive tape or find some glue. What do you do when you're already at school and you notice you have a button missing? Dorcas Bean had a solution. If it's in a crucial place. I'd staple it together. i tt expend teflt k keened Ann Arbuckle «A good swift Kick to the old locker is the ' experts'' recommendation for opening or closing a stubborn door.

V SACS evaluates SHS Jeff TauceUe How would you feel if you found out that no colleges would accept your grades from high school? Probably not very good. While this isn't likely to happen, it was a remote possibility. This year Spartanburg High School was being evaluated by the Southern Association of High Schools. This evaluation comes every ten years. To be accredited, this evaluation must be passed, and accreditation is required before a college will accept the grades of a high school. The first part of this evaluation was a self-study completed by every member of the staff. This gave the staff a chance to review the school and how it works. Faculty members were divided into committees that reviewed all areas including curriculum, phys-ical set-up, and future plans. Overall chairperson for the evaluation was Mrs. Linda Leary. After the self-study was complete, a team from the Southern Association came to make their own evalua- tion. This team, which visited in February, consisted of twenty-eight educators from all over the South. They looked at the different self-evaluations, committee reports, visited classes, and interviewed faculty and staff. They will issue a report based on their experiences that will determine whether accreditation will continue for SHS. The report will also indicate areas of strength, weakness, and suggestions for improvement. ________________________) BOARD OF TRUSTEES: Front Row: Mr. Clary Smith, Mrs. Peggy Romine, Rev. C.M.

Just imagine them in high school doing many of the same things you do today, how picture them at SHS. Well, there are about twenty-five teachers and other faculty members that are graduates of Spartan High. for the most part, Spartanburg High School has not changed much. Miss Jo Snipes, class of 1979, came back to the same building and now works with many of the same people that she remembers as teachers. She does note, however, that the EIA has put into effect a few rules that were not around in '79. She says that the major difference between then and now is that students have less school spirit . Mr. Jim Mancke was a graduate of the class of 1967. He was a member of the Key Club and was an audio visual aide. He recalls that one of his duties as an aid was to film football games. Mr. John Wolfe, class of 1971, was a senior when Carver High School and Spartanburg High School joined as one school. His fondest memory of Spartan High is going to the Beacon after school with friends. So the next time you say that once you leave dear old SHS you may never come back, think again. A few of these teachers said the same thing. They are all proud of their alma mater and when asked if they would still want to go to SHS if given a second chance, the answer was yes, without a hesitation. y faculty 205 PATRICIA W.

Dressed as ? she contributed to the faculty's Halloween dress up surprise. Claude Taylor In a year when most announcements from the White House meant shame and embarrassment for our country, one instead brought much-deserved recognition to a faculty member. Nancy Bane received the prestigious Presidential Award for Exellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching. Mrs. Bane was the only science teacher from the state to receive the award. She is also a member of the Spartanburg County Education Association and the chairperson of the Science Department here. The award was based on classroom performance, students' progress, and other professional activities. In additional to the recognition, the award included a Presidential citation, a four day expense-paid trip to Washington, DC, and a $5000 grant from the national Science Foundation. Also included were generous gifts from private sector contributors interested in supporting science and mathematics education. These gifts included personal computers, software, books, journal subscriptions, and laboratory equipment for use in the science curriculum. When she arrived at Washington to receive her award, They really rolled out the red carpet,'' she said. She stayed in Washington from October 21 to 24, during which time she received her award, attended official functions held in the winners' honor, and shared her professional expertise about teaching with her colleagues and other educators. We had scientists from all over the U.S. who were really tops in their field, and who gave us their insights in science education, she said. Through contact with the 107 other award recipients, Mrs. Bane had a chance to compare our science program to that of other schools. It reconfirmed that SHS really does have an excellent science department, she said. 206 faculty CRAIG SHIVER — Honors Pre-Calculus, Math Honorary. KARINE SIMPKIN — Algebra I.

At professional wrestling matches, that's where. The Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium, which held wrestling matches about once a month, quickly became a popular hangout for students who love a little sweat, a little violence, and a lot of excitement. Wrestling is cool, said Greg Tolbert. I go with my friends whenever I can. Added Thom Seymour, I love going to see my favorite wrestlers. It's a lot better than watching it on TV. Indeed, there is a lot to be said for live entertainment. It's a lot more excit- ing when you can actually see those guys in person and see how big they really are, said James Bruner. 1 just like watching them beat upn on each other, said Mark Wilburn. While most of the guys enjoyed the physical aspect of the sport, many girls preferred simply looking at the wrestlers. Some of them are really cute, said Kristin Carroll. The Italian Stallion's a hunk, said Angela Cast. Of course,some of the girls liked to watch the matches too. ”1 like to see those dirty Russians get beat. They cheat, you know, said Erika Augthun. This is one subject that few wrestling fans could agree on. The Russians don't cheat; everything goes in wrestling. Those good guys' are wimps, said Watts Hudgens. If they can't fight by the rules, then they shouldn't be allowed to fight at all, said Hannah Maness. Somewhere between the good wrestlers and the bad wrestlers lay the fall guys, the no-name wrestlers that never seemed to win. They can't wrestle. They're a bunch of overweight slobs that get paid to get thrown around the ring, said Richard Tompkins. I feel sorry for them. They just never win, but they keep trying, said Jennifer Brown. Many students liked to go just to look at the fans. It's great to watch a bunch of old ladies yell at Rick Flair, said Steve Thrash. I like going just to see all the people. You'd be amazed how many people go to see wrestling, said Ginger Goforth. One of the most popular wrestlers. Magnum T.A., was severely injured in a car accident in early October. He's just got to get better, said Erika Augthun, or I'll just die. Some friends and I might send him flowers or something, said Ann Pruett. We really care about him. Aw, he's just faking it, said Mike Welch. Student fans applaud the actions of their favorite professional wrestlers at Memorial Auditorium. Mot willing to accept the action in the ring, a waiting wrestler gets into the action himself. The excitement of pro wrestling is the unpreditability of the wrestlers. Anything may. and often does, happen. t Raju Channa Rdju Chann Rules. If there are any. for pro wrestling are sometimes a mystery. Before his match, a wrestler hangs his chain in the comer. I ads 211 V Serving all Raju Channa The school offices are a very busy place during school hours. Secretaries have a tough job keeping up with student records, answering calls, and locating students. To help ease the load, student office workers are recruited from various study halls. Students who wish to be office workers have to maintain a cumulative 2.0 QPA. The duties of an office worker include running errands, answering the phone, filing papers and delivering messages. Being an office worker is not an easy job,'' said Robert Wolfe. You have a lot of responsibility when the secretary leaves and you're in charge. Whit Vinesett, an office worker for Mr. Larry Moore, said that he runs errands and watches the office'' while Mr. Moore is gone. All grade level secretaries had office workers. The guidance department also had office workers, as well as the main office. It's a good bet that secretaries were glad to have office workers on hand, but what about the students who received those messages to report to the office? 212 ads CONGRATULATIONS to the 1987 SAGA editor and her staff for a job well done!!!

Once in Washington, the guys took advantage of the D.C. nightlife. Model Congress team takes on Washington Jeff raucette Debate your bill! This was the command given to the members of the Princeton Model Congress Team. These lucky students went to Washington D.C. fora noexpense paid trip of four days and three nights. The trip was an opportunity to mix education and entertainment. Model Congress, for the uninformed, was a simulation of the U.S. Congress. Each team member had to write and research a bill pertaining to their comittee. These committees ranged from Foreign Affairs to Education and Labor. In addi- tion, the parliamentary procedure had to be learned. The team consisted of four veterans and six rookies. The seniors were Meg Beaird, Jeff Faucette, Brian McCaslin, and John Ross. Juniors were Chris Arbuckle, Toby Gillespie, Robert Harrison, Todd Henry, Stewart McCutchen, and Amit Patel. Second-year member Meg said, I really enjoyed the experience both years, especially meeting people from other schools and states. Amit added, Model Congress and Washington were great. 1 definitely want to go back. For such a small delegation, SHS did surprisingly well. Out of 10 people, 3 won awards in comparison to schools in Hew York that brought 30 and won nothing. Jeff and John won the gavel in their committees of Education and Labor, and Energy and Commerce. Todd received an honorable mention in the Judiciary Committee. In addition to committee sessions, the team also did plenty of sightseeing. On one morning they went to tour the White House, the Supreme Court Building, and the Capitol. Senators Ernest Hollings and Strom Thurmond also met briefly with the team The team was even lucky enough to spend 3 hours at the Smithsonian Institution before they left. Said Toby, The best thing about the Smithsonian was the really neat statues. Everyone agreed that the trip was well worth the hard work. John summed it all up by saying, It was one of the best experiences of my high school career.

Members in the Wheelers program were also involved in extra-curricular and special activities such as Odyssey, athletics, and music programs. Mr. Donald Ward, district supervisor of transportation, oversaw all aspects of the program. Mr. Ward set up all the bus routes and checked buses regularly to make sure they were above safety standards. he also was available to alert all drivers to constant changes in their routes. Though some adults were in- volved in the Wheelers program, most participants were SHS students.

Candystripers are girls and boys who do volunteer work at Mary Black hospital and the Spartanburg Medical Regency Center. They were from ages 13 to 18, and they did this work on their own time, and they were not paid. Volunteers at Mary Black were not required to take any type of classes but were trained on a one on one basis. They delivered flowers and pushed around a cheer'' cart which contained candy, cokes, books, magazines,and anything else that might have cheered up the patients. At the Medical Center students were required to attend a 7 week class for 2 hours a week. The classes were to prepare the student for emergencies and to prepare them for their daily duties. Their work varied; they discharged patients, delivered food trays, filled water pitchers, and delivered lab samples. Keisha Young commented, I worked with babies and sometimes delivered lab samples to the lab. I feel wonderful knowing that I was helping the disabled. Some did it for the filling of well-being, but some did it for the experience as did Debbie Drucker who would like a future in genetic research. The point was that they were helping the disabled.

The Sertoma Club sponsors the pageant each year, and representatives from SMS and other area high schools participate. Kelly was nominated and voted as representative by her peers last spring in an election held throughout the school. As Kelly soon discovered, the young women were judged not only on beauty, but also on poise, school participation, and school spirit. She was asked to attend a dinner with the Sertoma Club, the other candidates, and various visitors and went unaware of what was to come. The group ate, and the representatives were then asked to wait backstage. One by one, the girls were brought out and paraded around the stage. Their previous activities and accomplishments were read, and each was asked a question. When asked, “If you could change one thing about your school, what would it be and why, Kelly said, “Seniors should be able to exempt final exams because they've worked long and hard, and also because I II be a senior next year!

To take care of that major necessity, the football team chose eight seniors to be the Ball Girls. Tracy Miller, said “I was excited knowing that I was chosen over many other girls. These girls had an important job throughout the football season. Their job included supplying clean footballs to the referees and retrieving field goal balls that went astray. Through rain, sleet, mud puddles, and insects Hying around them constantly, the girls still performed as usual. Angie Huffman, said, You really have to watch what you are doing. The referee really can get irritable if the football isn't there when needed. Even though the girls said it was hard work, April Stewart said, I love supporting the Vikings. They're a lot of fun to be with. Megan Me C nil BACK ROW: Martha Petoskey. Kelly Petoskcy. Angie Huff man Tracy Miller THOMT ROW Dccdc Dcgner April Stewart. Kim Thompson.

She has a MA in theatre from the University of Illinois and certification in speech and drama. Mrs. Evans taught performance-oriented classes for 15 years.

Mrs. Acost helped design of some basic concepts of Theatre Odyssey. Theatre Odyssey s success depends on both the students and teachers' involvement.

Jami Reaves had worked for years to reach her goal. She served the 86-'87 year as president of the South Carolina Association of Student councils. Jami said, To be elected, you have to have a majority of votes from the delegates representing each school. Each school sends two delegates to convention. The duties of the state president are extensive. I am to attend the national regional convention, but my main responsibility is to host the state convention in March. The convention was held at SHS, and Jami planned the majority of the activities and handled the details. It took hours each day. I worked with SAC committees every day during 6th period, then I worked some more at home. Jami has worked with the state council for many years. ”1 had gone from district chairman to vice president of state council. While working on the convention, Jami organized committees consisting of SAC members and homeroom presidents. The committees ranged from housing to transportation to financial aid. I think the convention was one of the best ever. Everyone puts a lot of time and work into the plans. SMS can be proud. Instructing the homeroom presidents to prepare for the state Student Council convention. Jami Reaves stresses responsibility.

These were questions asked by many students, but few people heard the other side — that of the new teacher. Becoming a teacher takes a lot of hard work. Years of college courses aid in preparing. I earned my BA in English from Mew-berry College and my Masters in English education from Eurman University, said Ms. Jennie lleinsohn. Ms. Debbie Richardson has a BA in biology and an IMA in earth science. Many ask why teachers decide to become teachers. Teaching science is the best way to pursue my intersts and to share my enthusiasm for the subject.' said Ms. Richardson. The new teachers decided that they like to teach high school students because at that age students start to become interested in their classes. Mrs. Sherry Henderson said another reason they prefer teaching those particular grades is because students are beginning to think for themselves. I like older students because they are beginning to think independently. Working at a new school did have its disadvantages.

That is what the participants in the 1980 Governor s School for the Arts did. These artists in visual arts, creative writing, and theatre spent their days in constant rehearsals, classes, and seminars. It was the hardest 5 weeks of my life . . . and the most fun, said John Duncan. John added, I made a lot of new friends and I had a great time. John, as well as other participants, went to class early in the morning and, after finishing classes and homework, got to bed after 1:00 A.M. each night. It was intense training but for Rachel Bird, John Duncan, Briles Lever, Uronia Robinson, Tim Keeter, Travis Spencer, Page Jones, Heidi Hayes, Chris Bailey, Elizabeth Reeves, and Channtha Phok, it was worth it. Everyone recommended the experience as absolultely worthwhile, and as Rachel Bird said, I encourage anyone who even thinks about the arts to apply in some area. Students were chosen by a very selective audition process, interviews, and demonstrating of the artists' works were a main part of the process. John Wolfe PROMT: John Duncan. Chris Bailey.

Beth Smith, Jeff Faucette, and Claude Taylor. In addition to a Global Issues seminar, each student studied a specific subject concentration. These ranged from Law and Society to Hu- man Communications, to Behaviorial Science, to Computer Science. But Governor's School wasn't all work and no play. In fact some scholars said it was no work and all play. C laude Taylor said, I was worried about having a lot of homework, but my classes never interfered with my schedule.” There were events scheduled all the time. These included dances, trips to the beach, parties, spots tournaments, concerts, a costume ball, a road race, a talent show, and a formal dance. m Sharp Calculators.

Mrs. Jima Sparks heads the Speech and Hearing Program. Twelve students were enrolled in the program and met with Mrs. Sparks for one period every week. They were in the program from weeks to years, depending on the problem. These students suffered from problems ranging from stuttering, articulation and language to hearing handicaps. Mrs. Sparks enjoys working with these students on an individual basis. She pre-fered working in small groups rather than large classes. That way, she was better able to see the progress made by her students. She said. I don't always see progress, but even some progress is great.

I like to have someone wait with me. so I have someone to talk to while waiting, said Anne Milford because she hates to wait in line for the phone. Waiting in line can take up a lot of time. Some students wait up to ten or fifteen minutes for things at school. Sometimes students only have to wait a few minutes though. The longest I've ever waited at school is five minutes. Anne said.

Girls' State was held at USC in Columbia, while Boys' State was held at the Citadel in Charleston. Each was a one week program sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. During the week they learned about the American political system through participation in activities such as a required im-proptu speech. Each person occupied an elected position on either the state, city, or county level. Teresa, the elected representative of T. Ferguson, said, Girls' State was great because it gave me a chance to experience the political system first hand, and it makes you realize how the system really works. While there, the participants heard guest speakers such as Senator Strom Thurmond and Sherri Bradshaw, the runnerup at the Miss America Pagent.

PTA: Making the best even better Beth McClure The phrase ‘ Parent Teacher Association often brings to mind a picture of old, cranky faculty members complaining to sympathetic parents about students' misbehavior. In contrast is the fact that our PTA works for the betterment of all that goes on at Dupre Drive. The group is a positive asset, not only to teachers, but also to students through the numerous programs It sponsors. The icecream sold as a fund-raiser by various school organizations is gotten at a low cost through the efforts of the PTA. The annual graduation party given for seniors is partly sponsored by the PTA. Even the bulletin board outside Mr. Moore s office that publisizes student activities each month is the responsibility of dedicated PTA members. The PTA Board, headed by Mrs. Patsy Simmons, meets regularly to discuss other projects and suggestions that come up concerning methods of improving activities and facilities. Recent projects have included the refurbishing of the B Wing teachers' lounge, purchasing copy machines, and landscaping the courtyards. With Mrs. Barbara Petoskey serving as the faculty representative on the Board, the committees strive for better cooperation between students families and teachers to support the overall educational system. From the project supplying the parent volunteers who call absent students' homes each day to the spring workshop on colleges for rising sophomores, the PTA tries its best to serve the community by helping give our school a more productive and enjoyable environment for everyone involved.

Megan McCullough The South will rise again! Imagine what a northerner moving to the South thinks hearing this. It is often thought that there is a rivalry still going on between the north and South. There have been many students in the past couple years that have come from the north to live in Sparkle City. John noulett, formerly of Pittsburgh, had a distinct impression of the South. Asked if students here were hospitable to him, he said, 'not really since the school is so big. Most don't even know if you are new are not.'' He also commented, 1 find these funny flags on people's license plates and hats.'' From Indiana is Meg Beaird. She found the South more fashionable than the north, because northerners dress mainly to keep warm. She said, I find southern pride in every southerner, but its not necessarily directed against the north. Although northerners worry about the education system when moving South, Meg thought our school offered a better advanced program than many northern towns. Also, Meg said, The South places a strong emphasis on service clubs while the north emphasizes sports. Another arrival from Indiana, Troy Berquist was intrigued with the southern drawl. He said, People are a little more open to accepting a new person here rather than in other places. Moving during high school was not what I had wanted, but friendly people have made it easy. After getting to know people from both the north and South, I've found that people are really the same deep down inside regardless of where they live.

Main Street 585-5273 Posh Polished Being part of the middle class Michael Slovcnsky They call them Jammin' Juniors, but are they really more than sophomores with parking privileges? The juniors responded with a resounding ‘Yes Students said that the best part of being a junior was not being a sophomore anymore. They liked not being the youngest in school and getting to go to the prom. Juniors also said that being looked down on by seniors was one of the worst parts. They did not like having to take the PSAT either. William Moss said, “This year would be better if there were more junior class projects and parties. Others suggested that not having the same homeroom every year and not having to take the PSAT would be ways to make being a junior better. Even though being in the middle had some advantages, most were really looking forward to being seniors, and to being on top of the heap. Megan McCullough Jana Dahl 2084 E. Main St. Spartanburg, SC 29302 803-582-3939 Juniors have to wait for seniors before getting a parking permit, a somewhat valuable piece of paper; losing a permit means losing a parking space. Coach Ralph Voylcs makes sure Dennis Mitchell fills out his request correctly before issuing this junior a permit V r v Jenny Gray: dedicated manager Ann Pruett If you went to any girls' basket-ball or volleyball game, you probably noticed one outstanding young lady. She did not get MVP, she did not even play either sport, but she was probably the most important team member. Jenny Gray managed both the girls' basketball and volleyball teams this year. As manager, she was responsible for keeping all the equipment and uniforms washed and organized. That does not cover all of her responsibilities. Jenny said, My favorite part of managing was cheering and keeping stats. My least favorite was filling the water bottles. Jenny not only took care of the equipment but she was both teams' main fan. Jenny enjoyed managing basketball the most because she played herself for her church and by seeing all the games, she learned many useful techniques. She also had many friends on the team. Jenny served both of these teams well and without her hard work, both the basketball and volleyball teams could not have come as far as they did.
