SUPPORT COMPETITION SECURITY ifi k family . . . related persons or groups bonded together by shared emotions, experiences, and basic nur- turing needs, whose common de- nominator is love. Spencer High School is a family . . . unique in that all nationalities mold to become one body. In its function as a family, the school strives to encourage the indi- vidual to attain the highest level of maturation both socially and individ- ually. This growth is enriched by in- teracting with peers and advisors. Playing, sharing, and even being dis- ciplined together helps us achieve personal development and link us as a true Green wave family. 2 OPENING 3 OPENING LOVE AND DEVOTION «•I , he core emotion that holds a family together. This warm achieve- ment creates an earnest dedication or true devotion for our family. These emotions range from feeling sad when the team is down to staying late to get the work done, lending a needed hand, working hard to look good, to sharing the good times and the smiles. Our Spencer family sym- bolizes the meaning of love and de- votion. 5 OPENING RESPECT ’W '■$jX very necessary ingredient in family life, whether it is respect for an elder, teacher, or one another, it's the factor that lets us learn, work, and grow along beside each other. Around us lies the foundation for the courtesy we will need in our adult life. Being able to live in harmony with those around us both at Spencer High and in the world is enriched through our practice of respect. PRIDE AND LOYALTY 7E ■jSxfJ he inner glow and outer smile of a job well done is an everyday emotion we experience here at Spei cer High. We admire our ability to stretch ourselves to meet challenge and demands which in turn heightens our self-esteem. This feeling of pride encompasses school and community, and fosters a sense of loyality. Loyality yields the closeness of our family ties and ere ates the well from which pride springs, permitting us to endure and conquer. We venture forward leaning on our foundation of pride and loyality. 8 OPENING Look at me, I m hei I have dignity. I have pride I have roots. I insist, f demand that I participate, n those decisions that£ iffect my life l?522 =Sr ' md the lives of my childre COMPETITION xpressing our differences in opinion while maintaining our close ties is how we compete at Spencer. Whether it is one to one combat or school to school interaction, in the end we unite to form a defense against whatever might divide our basic internal unity. Through these encounters we shar- pen our wits as well as our ability to cope with stress and peer pressure thus learning to take on the challenges of the outside world. We are strong, we are competent, ready to face life’s chal- lenges due to the experience we've gained through competition. 11 OPENING SECURITY onscious chat we belong and are accepted for what we are, allows us a feeling of security at Spencer High. We feel safe in the knowledge that because of the time we've spent here we can make it on our own outside of this world. UPe are confident in knowing that we are growing outward, both aca - demically, emotionally, preparing ourselves and hoping to find in soci- ety the security we've found at Spen- cer High . . . and so, we leave this place, again searching for security. 12 OPENING n OPENING K SUPPORT m he suspenders of our student body. We support each other in many ways, emotionally, physically, and financially. These three areas combined show us what we can do for each other as a family. Through the give and take of everyday life, our support of one another becomes a facet of our ever growing closeness. A kind word, a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, these are the rein - forcements which aid us down the road of our destiny. We express our true love through support. JS OPENING UNITY w .. ‘.fUx- division yet a oneness. Al- though we are each seperate indivi- duals we are one within our family. Through the small touches of shared experiences, individual and group harmony are achieved. From love and devotion we gained the warmth that lights our home fires. From this glow generously refueled by respect, a sense of pride and loyalty were in - stilled. Competition Firmed our backbone and taught us the real meaning of support. The essence of all these qualities provided security and unity. We are confident of knowing we were, are, and ever will be FAMILY!! 17 OPENING 18 DIVISION PAGE 1980 MR.

One ba- sic club aim is to nurture occasions that develop leadership abilities and skills. Another underlying goal is to commend by means of a Merit Award, students who have steadfastly persued academic excellence during their high school careers. This year the Beta Club, a school service organization, is busily involved in sponsoring many Spencer based activities that sometimes spill out to encompass the community as well as other clubs within the school. This Greenwave spirit and drive is well exemplified by activities such as the Biorythms program a popular joint effort with the Math Club, several car washes, a relaxing fun-filled trip to Six Flags, an educational assembly and a successful Christmas dance. Spencerian Betans are on the go demonstrating the fun of club teamwork and chal- lenging all other clubs to meet and defeat their record in affectiveness and spirit!!

SEASON OVERVIEW Injuries, inexperience and military shuffling pla- gued the 1980 football team. These obstacles were impossible to overcome and we experienced our first winless season in the history of Spencer High School. Although the scoreboard was in the doldrums the spirit ran in a bright golden wave enriching and captivating the student body. We salute and warmly commend the team for their courage and persever- ence during this difficult season. SPENCER-vs-CEDAR SHOALS The Greenwaves played their first game on Au- gust 24, against the fifth ranked team in the state Cedar Shoals, of Athens.

The record for our Freshman team may not have been impressive, but the improve- ment through the season was evident. Overall we are very proud of our Freshman team. Freshman Record Spencer Score VS.

After opening with a dazzling victory against the Lagrange Grangers, the Green Machine 's fervor began to fizzle and several disappointing defeats caused team spirit to dim. The boys endured seven straight losses before Christmas vacation practicing instilled new hope. Filled with energy and a hunger for a victory, the Green Machine cranked up once again and pulled in three consecu - tive wins. Leading the attack was Nathanial Bright, a 6’2 center, and the only senior on the squad. Nat pulled down critical rebounds and earned the status as a back-door play maker due to his ceaseless lay ups. Despite this new vitality, the boys began to fall into a slump again, with various factors contributing to this decline. A bout with vanity, height disadvantages, and overall team division, initiated a major breakdown in the Green Machine condition. Nevertheless, similar to a pendulum the Greenwaves swayed to the winning side once more. Roosevelt BoBo Banks and Kevin Red” Miller an astonishing salt and pepper combination demonstrated extreme improvement and assisted the offensive assault. BoBo became Mr. Hustle , weaving all over the court stealing, fastbreaking, and passing the ball to the open man. Also making strong advancements was sophomore Warren Beaulah an originalJ. V. supershooter. He added depth to the Greenwave defensive and attacked with blocked shots and offensive rebounds. Warren also scored constantly, dominating opponents with his ability to get the open shot. As always, losing would persist and the boys overall performance would plummit. However, due to Coach Mahone 's undying devotion, the team managed to cap off the season with stunning victories over cross town rivalry Carver Tigers, and one-time region leader Warner Robins Demons. Even though dreams of going to state were not realized the Green Machine managed to continue spirit- For season openers, the Green- waves were pitted against the strength of the Grangers providing an exciting fast moving game in which the lead switched back and forth with heart clutching frequency. With one second remaining and a score of 59-60 in favor of the guests, coach Mahone called a tense time out. Play resumed with the spectators holding their collective breaths as amid dwindling seconds Bobo grabbed the ball and tossed a 20 feet history marker, sealing Lagrange's fate and making himself the hero of the moment. 61—60 SPENCER - vs - NOR THSIDE Spencer was ready to play ball when they travelled to North side. Al- though Nathaniel Bright was high point man and backboard scrapper with 18 points and 14 rebounds, the Eagles had trouble also pinning War- ren Beaulah and Roosevelt Banks to 16 points each. This victory uplifted team morale and geared them up to meet the local rivalry of the roaring lions. 44 BASKETBALL 61 — 48 starters returning next year, the varsi- ty boys basketball team will surely travel the winning road. SPENCER-vs-BAKER The Spencerian varsity brought the spirit and skill needed to shave the lion's mane and send him home meowing! It took three dramatic overtimes to subdue the blue and whiters but the greenwave pride proved insurmountable. Both teams played a fast paced run and gun game with Baker in the lead at the beginning of the first overtime. Aar- on Hudson deserves the laurel of outstanding player since it was his fantastic jumper from the top of the key that netted the game. 44 — 43 SPENCER - vs-LAGRANGE What happened to the ball! Unbelievable shot! I’m going to kill him! Utterly disgusting! Way to go Green Machine! down the court! BASKETBALL 45 I INCONSISTENCY IS THE NAME OF THE 46 BASKETBALL SPENCER.vsCARVER Thirteen proved a lucky number for the green waves in their match against the Carver Tigers. Spencer displayed an exceptional defense throughout the game, slowing down Carver's leading scorer to a mere 6 points. The offensive attack led by R x)sevelt Banks and Jerome Owens netted 17 and 11 points respectively. Coach Mahone said that much of the contribution for the win should go to the entire team who had practiced exceptionally hard the week prior to the game. Nathaniel Bright and Warren Beaulah were the leading rebounders in this gruel, ing game. A running attack, flawlessly executed, proved the demise of the Carver players. 63 — 57 JONATHAN HANGS TOUGH ON THE BOARDS! GREENWAVES w GOOD HUSTLE! GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL Inexperience plagued the Lady Green waves this year. With first year Coach Ann Woodall, and the majority of the team consisting of freshman and sophomores, the season began on a dismal note. The Green waves lost nine in a row before coming into their own by defeating Kendrick during the Christmas Tournament. Gaining ex- perience and acquiring knowledge as the season progressed, several players began to exhibit vast improvement. Mary Wilson, an out- standing freshman guard ended the season averaging approximately 12 points per game and led the Lady Greenwaves offensive attack. Another offensive spark, senior Rose Johnson contributed her fast drives to the basket. Defensively, DAndrea Sistrunk, and Eva Dun- can continued to hang tough on the boards despite several height disadvantages. Pam Surles another freshman guard devastated oppo- nents by her quickness and corner shots. Nevertheless, problems continued to mar the team's overall game performances and victories were hard to come by. However, Tired up toward the end of the season, the Greenwaves rallied to whip Kendrick and Baker while preparing themselves for the region tournament. The young ladies kept the Green wave spirit throughout the year and certainly show a lot of promise for an action-filled season next year. In victory or defeat, the Lady Greenwaves good sportsmanship and sharp compe- tiveness certainly include them as one of our most cherished family GIRLS VARSITY COACH ANN WOODALL VARSITY GIRLS Front row, kneeling (L-R): Flo Anderson, Pam Surles, Belinda Hill, Sue Smith.

With thirty-feet jumpers and alley-oop passes they provided action- packed ball games which kept the fans on their feet. Even though the majority of the team members lacked in height, this deficiency was made up with their speed, agility, and well balanced scoring attack. The Junior Varsity team boasted six straight victories before losing a squeaker to Baker. The Green Ma- chine running fell in the hands of several of the team's sharp shooters. Players such as Keith White, Matthew Mungin, and Loy Lee always kept the ma- chine tuned up and in prime running condition. In- stilling a tradition of superb J.V. basketball at Spen- cer has become Coach Doug Elmore’s goal during his stay here. With the development of skills at such an early level, the young men which will move up to Varsity will certainly engage in making Spencer Bas- ketball tops. JUNIOR VARSITY COACH DOUG ELMORE }2 BASKETBALL JUNIOR VARSITY TAKING IT TO THE HOOP! FRESHMEN BASKETBALL Lacking experience on the Junior High level caused immediate problems for our baby basketball ream, the Freshmen. However, after putting a little know-how be- hind their belt the Freshmen team began to display vast improvement. Offensively, Keith Hill furnished the spark which fired up the other team members. Defensively, ev- eryone carried their weight and this division was the stron- gest aspect of the entire Freshman game plan. Under the guidance of Coach Charles Walker, the team managed to put it all together and attain an exceptional victory over the Baker Lions. Consequently throughout this learning season the baby Greenwaves maintained the spirit and look for- ward to a productive eighty-one season.

That opening 2nd place was the only one for the season because the rest of the year crescendoes into perfect bulleyes. The team, coached at school by Sgt. Robert Burke and through the Fort Beginning club by Lt. Col. Wig- gers, has earned the top contender berth in the southeast and has broken world records in individual firing. Clearly sighting every target, the Green wave ri- fle team has blown away all competition and kept a perfect bullseye on its state Champion title. NORTH PAW VS. SOUTH PAW!! DANNY AND DAVID D.

The Spencer High Girl’s Soft- ball team returns this season as the defending Bi-City champions, a title which they have held for the past two years. Eva Duncan, Bi- city first baseman, Elizabeth Ev- ans, Sonia Harris, Susan Chester, Tammy Moss, and Jackie Howard are returning from last year. Miss Faye Powers will again coach the team. Not only was she last years winning coach, but she was also named coach of the year. Spencer played many exciting games against the toughest teams in the region, however, they still managed to stay on top of the league. With last year’s returning start- er’s and the newcomers, this sea- son promises to be just as exciting and rewarding as last year’s. 62 SOFTBALL EVA DUNCAN ALL-BI-CITY 1ST BASE JACKIE HOWARD LEFT FIELD BELINDA HILL PITCHER . o jj-1 r TAMMY MOSS CATCHER ELIZABETH EVANS RIGHT FIELD 63 SOFTBALL SPENCER KEEPS BASES LOADED — BEST HITTERS IN BI-CITY TOMMY PEREZ MOST VALUABLE PLAYER BASEBALL COACH DOUG ELMORE MELVIN JENERETTE ALL BI-CITY HONORABLE MENTION Due to scattering of our talent throughout the Bi- City, the baseball team experienced several recruiting difficulties during the 1978- 79 season. Nevertheless, the team managed to pur together an adequate de- fense and an awesome offense to become a threat to several of the cities top teams. The Green waves were led by Melvin Jenerette, a junior catcher, who at- tained All Bi-City Honorable Mention. Shortstop Tommy Perez also made great contributions and was the recipient of the Most Valuable Player Award. The Green Machine is really cranked up this year and a . 500 season lurkes in our future. Coach Doug Elmore has a solid foundation with a year’s coaching exper- ience behind him and the team members express an avid interest in retaining the Bi-City Hitting Crown. Spirit and pride continue to give Spencer baseball an added boost and the 1980 season promises to be filled with excitement.

Dedication and hard work are what made the Spencer Cross Country team a flourishing success. Our team strove for this and showed their sheer determination by the many hours spent exercising, toning muscles, and running over rough and uneven ground. Under the direction of Coach Orck the team improved and created a better field of competition, which allowed them to endure the grueling pace and spartan discipline that is required of a winning team.

Returning this year to aid the team s rise to success are Calvin Hodge, and Gerald Flow- ers. Three years of experience have taught these young men valuable les- sons and with team leadership and assistant coaching, they have definite plans of forging a state Champion- ship team. With enthusiasm such as this, the 1980 tracksters will certainly achieve their goals and dominate the season with record times. MARATHON RUNNERS '80! SPRINTING ! GIRLS’ TRACK TEAM FACING NEW CHALLENGES RACING TO VICTORY! RUNNING FOR FUN! LIMBERING UP FOR A RACE! The SHS Girls Track team began the season with an almost insur- mountable hurdle. With only two veterans returning, Sue Smith and Rossland Johnson, the team had to practice extra hard each day to get themselves in top condition and ready for inner-city competition. However, the girls were very enthu- siastic and this inconvenience seemed a small price to pay for success. De- lighting in representing the Green - wave family, the SHS girls track team revved themselves into high gear and made success and achieve- ment their primary goals.

Top-seeds are Chuck Meadows whose ag- gressive attacking game combines with a ftne net game to un-nerve his opponents and Jim Storie who baffles adversaries with his disci- plined and well-placed returns set the pace for the 1980 team. Fired with a devasting stamina that bodes ill for most rivals, the Greenwaves are our to love the competition. While the prospects of a good season is exciting, an even, brighter note is the fact that the absence of seniors on this year’s team means next year’s team should be a super bad power- house. GOLF TEAM STROKES TO VICTORY (L-R): KEVIN MILLER, MIKE WILSON, RON RUMLEY Fore! ... It's nearing the 1980 tee off time and under the supervision of coach Works, the Spencerian Golf Team will be putting all opposition off the fairways. Last year the team placed third in the Hardaway Invitational Tournament, fin- ishing ahead of the host and Carver. Spen- cerian golfers took fourth spot in the Re- gional Tournament with The Green waves capturing the first place trophy in point standing. Team member Kevin Miller was ranked fifth in individual standing in the Spring Tournament and along with greens mate Ron Rumley, was named most valu- able player at the awards banquet.

Deedra Ware Tammy Buff: Equal rights don’t mean that women aren’t femi- nine, it just means that they want to get good jobs and equal pay and equal status before the law. Jeff Harrell: I think that women are better off with things the way they are now, with ERA they'd lose ali- mony and other legal protection.

I certainly don't want my fellow to go and it's silly for him to stay home while I go. Eva Duncan: If woman wants to go, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Other wars have taken so many men.

Math holds the key that un - locks the door to many fields such as aviation, chemistry, engineering, and space. With mathematical knowledge and skill, one’s future prospects are almost infinite. Spencer's Mathemat- ics Department provides the basic es- sentials for the acquisition of such knowledge and skill. Practical geom - etry has been added to Spencer's cur- riculum for those students who find formal geometry too difficult. Prob- ability and statistics, also new, teach- es students the fundamental statisti- cal concepts and their application to everyday life. To further develop the student's math skills outside the classroom, the Math Department sponsors several programs and ac- tivities some of which are, Mu Alpha Theta (Math Club), the Georgia Mathematics League Tests, and the National Annual High School Math- ematics Test. The department also hosts ciphering competitions be- tween other high schools in the area. 204 ACADEMICS SCIENCE Here at Spencer, the science de- partment's effort to provide for each students' needs and prefer- ences lends a variety of courses ranging from health and biology, to physical science and physics. To counterbalance these arduous studies, the science department plans activities such as, a trip to Patterson’s Planetarium and the annual science fair. 20} ACADEMICS SOCIAL STUDIES In addition to providing students with the opportunity to acquire knowledge skills and values, the So- cial Studies Department has the ad- ded task of nuturing the sense of responsibility for involvement in so- ciety and its concomitant civic du- ties. If students, as they role play their future positions as tomorrow's lead- ers, do not get involved in the politi- cal process, events will control them rather than them controlling the events 206 ACADEMICS r LANGUAGE ARTS GutwNToj-t- Porle t V� rbb AJ 'iiCor vr,unica+'On The ability to communicate effec- tively, read critically, and listen intel- ligently, are the essential, and vital tools in our world. The key to the achievement of this level of verbal dexterity is mastering the language arts. English endows students with the ability to comprehend and handle life skills such as filling out applications, communication with future employ- ers in addition to providing basis for learning a foreign language. Learning a foreign language makes it possible to interact within our own communities and other nations. For- eign languages give a better under- standing of our own language, open numerous job possibilities and broadens communication skills. Also, it gives us a chance to express ourselves in a different manner. Club such as Debate, FLC Eng- lish while adding to the colorful fla - vor of the language arts experience, provide further chance to develop and cemment oral and written skills. 207 ACADEMICS VOCATIONAL INDUSTRIAL ARTS This year's vocational program at Sp encer consists of several classes which prepare young men and wom- en for future blue-collar jobs. The classes are taught in two hour blocks, and after three years of concentration in a specific area such as construc- tion, metal work, etc. the student is ready to assume a position within the job market. 208 ACADEMICS D.C.T., V.O.T. D.E. DCT (Diversified Cooperative Training) covers more chan 64 topics during the school year. These topics range from job investigation and preparation, to finance management and legal rights. DE (Distributive Education) is a program of cooperation between the business community and the public schools. The students gain theortical and practical job training in areas of retail, wholesale, and service occupa - tions; while the business man gets capable, mature, career-minded em- ployees to fill entry level jobs. VOT (Vocational Office Train- ing) is designed to train students in filing, using the duplicator, operating calculators, improving typing skills, correct use of the telephone and how to apply for a job. In these courses, students have an opportunity to prepare for their fu- ture through both classroom instruc- tion and on-the-job training. 209 ACADEMICS SPECIAL EDI CATION ULOflV The Glory (Great Learning Orga - nization for Resourceful Youths) class is designed for Spencer's gifted youths. The curriculum is geared to the interests of scholars who are ca - pable of planning for advanced edu- cation and leadership roles in society. The Special Education class is de- signed to help the student develop to their fullest potential academically. They are taught on a 1 -to-1 basis by a resource teacher in any area where help is needed. 210 ACADEMICS 1980 begins the 3rd year of the CVAE, Coordinated Vocational Academic Education, at Spencer. This is also the first year that CVAE has been taught on a individualized basis for students who are having difficulty with vocational subjects. In essence, the CVAE program provides strong assistance and tutori- al services aside from regular class. CVAE also sponsors the VOCA club which helps the students compete in arts and crafts at the District and State levels. Other novelties to the Spencerian curriculum are the Title I programs in Reading and Math. Designed for students who are either having diffi- culty in these areas or who only need the basics for their life's work and skills. Taught on an individual basis, using team teaching and lab instruc- tion, these programs are very benefi- cial in helping the student acquire the basic skills needed for assuming life roles. C.Y.A.E. TITLE I 211 ACADEMICS ELECTIVES Education is more than reading, writing, and 'rithmatic. There’s also: Driver's Education; a cost free chance to learn the correct form of driving.

The great fever began with a day of mourning for the Raiders and rode through the Green and Gold day, reaching its upmost peak behind the inspiring words of Reverend Calvin Hodge and the crowning of the 1980 Miss Green wave, Denise Schacknow and attendentsJoni Gardner and Gaye Burgamy. Even though the loss of a hard fought game did somewhat dampen the Greenwave fervor, it did serve as a unifying force from which we can rise to future heights of success never before achieved or imagined. This force, a sobering builder of character, has truly proven that through all the world's mayhem, We Are Fam- ilyl. AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL WEEK Another distinguished event to place in our memory was Spencer’s invitation to represent Muscogee County at the American Education week celebration held at Colum- bus Square Mall. The primary purpose of this event was to showcase all talents and skills any normal student can acquire through taking specialized classes in both the vocational and artistic area. The students thoroughly en- joyed themselves and made the entire Greenwave Family proud with their flawless performances. 2}4 ACTIVITIES 255 ACTIVITIES THANKSGIVING DRIVE Continuing a 30 year tradition, the stu - dent council spearheaded the Thanksgiv- ing Drive in which the homerooms com- peted for the honor of producing the lar- gest gift basket . The homerooms, dis- playing fierce rivalry, really made things lively. Mr. Carswell’s homeroom took the first place from the seasoned winner, Mrs. Bradley's homeroom. The winner received a certificate from McDonald's and the Salvation Army collected the goods for community distribution. 236 ACTIVITIES BLOOD DRIVE The giving spirit which charac- terizes our Green wave family was courageously exemplified Novem- ber 9, as 80 students and faculty voluntarily gave blood in support of the 1979-80 Blood Drive. Sponsored by the Health Occupa - tions class and the DECA Club, this has become an annual event which opens the door for commu - nity service and allows those stu- dents interested in health career a bustling preview of required tasks. - .

Demonstra- tions by the Cosmetology, Health Occupations, Auto Me- chanics, Typing, and Industrial classes in the commons area fo- cused students' attention during the lunch period. The city pa- per, the radio and the television networks covered all the events. NATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK 240 ACTIVITIES jVD4n c4mtiria y 979- so fiRitit t - Jll f rjcni ( €tufnei Bom May 18, 1962 under the sign of Taurus, Miss Joni Renee Gardner was elected 1st runner-up to Miss Greenwave. She is by nature a true Spencerian, and proves this by being very active in and out of the school. Joni is a co- captain of the varsity cheerleading squad, president of the student council, a member of the Math and Beta Clubs, and finally editor of the 1979-80 Spencerian. When asked about the ideas on which she bases her life, she replied, 'God is the center of my life, and through him I can treat my fellowman as I wish to be treated. If I can help someone each day in some way, my purpose here on earth and my inner soul shall be truly fulfilled. Joni is dedicated to achieving her goals and as already noted has accomplished quite a few of them. In the future, she will make Spencerians proud to have known her. 240C HOMECOMING Miss Greenwave, Denise Rachelle Shachnow, was born July 23, 1962 under the sign of Leo. She is the daughter of Lt. Col. and Mrs. Shachnow and comes from a family of four girls. Denise was born in Nurnberg, Germany and arrived here this summer for her first year at Spencer. Miss Shachnow is very active, both in and out of school and has also won many awards and honors. She is a member of the Drama Club, Speech Club, Hunt, Pony and German Club, in addition to being an active member of the swim team. As for awards, she has really pushed herself to achieve prominence. Besides serving as Spencer’s reigning beauty, Denise was awarded Most Contributing Member of the Hunt Club, Best Looking and High Point Swimmer. “Living each day as it comes, with a smile upon her face” is the ideaology that shapes Denise’s life. Her future plans include majoring in biology and eventually becoming a dentist. Judging from her past successes, Denise Shachnow, our 1979-80 Miss Greenwave, will definitely achieve her goals. 240D HOMECOMING 'A'li b cfiteb inian ve le JVeutty Yvettt Newby, the sweetly smiling winner of the coveted Miss Freshman title is an old hand at winning. From her Junior High School days she earned such laurels as Most Friendly, a $30 savings bond for placing first in a Black History Essay Contest, and an award for service. Perhaps victory goes hand in hand with the philosophy that Miss Newby cultivates — ' before anyone can respect you, you must first respect yourself While this attitude may not be her secret formula for success, it certainly is the motivating force behind her many activities. She is active in the church, a zealous member of the youth group and serves diligently in the Choir. Ifcji wnicie 'CauiUne fyfilluwnb Caroline Williams, the vivacious and lovely Miss Sophomore, was born May 23th. Since she likes to stay busy, she engages in a lot of physical activities such as swimming, jogging and dancing. At school, Caroline is a member of the newly formed Wavettes and plans to try out for the Girl's Softball Team in the spring. Because she cannot decide at this time between modeling and business management, Miss William s career plans are tentative. There is no doubt that she will succeed with whatever goal she undertakes because her positive outlook of Make an effort to achieve all your goals and respect them because they will make you what you are” assures her eventual victory. 240B HOMECOMING d uftiol va e ue Everyone has a ray of light and all they have to do is let their light shine so that others may see that light. This is the code by which Valerie Flagg, the reigning Miss Junior, attempts to live. She has a strong, warm personality and describes herself as really friendly and easy to get along with. Her activities range from home economics to tennis and she loves to sing and create artsy-craftsy things. Perseverance was Miss Flagg's main reason for running. She felt that since she had tried for two year to capture a title, she should try one more time. Third time proved lucky for both Valerie and the class of '81 who gained an enchantingly able representative. t Uf fJenfa To live each day to its fullest extent is the philosophy that Arlene Rodriguez, the charming beauty who captivated the 1980 graduating class into making her their queen, tries to put into practice. Judging from her numerous activities which run the gam it from horseback riding, to sewing, to art work, it would be safe to say that Miss Rodriguez is making a more than credible attempt to follow that philosophy. The tantalizing challenge of the senior crown was too much for Arlene to resist and in her success, this winsome belle graces and enriches both herself and the class she represents. 240G HOMECOMING 4 9J9 - 80 Ohewibe y ww injctv 240E HOMECOMING The smiling radiance and bright-eyed loveliness of Betty Whittlesley captured her a place on the Greenwave court in the hotly contested position of second runner-up. This January' Capricorn has a smile for every one and the sweet patience of Job. Miss Whittlesley s hobbies include Disco roller skating, bowling and an occasional attempt at horseback riding. In addition to being a Varsity’ Cheerleader, she manages to participate in the Cosmetology Club, serves as treasurer of the FHA Club and works as an Office Aide. Betty’s philosophy of Getting out and working hard to make those dreams and goals come true’’ is the motivating force behind her future plans to attend college and major in Health and Physical Education. The other side of the dazzling duo that so enchanted the student body until they could not make a clear choice is the demure and alluring beautyr of Gaye Burgamy. This January' Aquarian is friendly, and her special joy is children. Miss Burgamy s hobbies of tennis and skating re flea her love of strenuous outdoor aaivities. At school, she is a member of the Wavette Dance Team and serves concurrently as secretary of the senior class and vice president of the FBLA, as well as working part-time. After graduation Gaye plans to attend school to become an executive secretary. Her outlook toward life is essentially captured in the phrase ’’Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you. fferond 2Ret y Wuff ewy OWend 'dirmnei - W Qaye dir. ctytuntf 240F HOMECOMING CAREER DAY This year's Career Day was as stimulating as it was informative. It offered seniors the opportunity to view the prospective careers first hand. Representatives from various jobs and careers milled and min- gled in the commons areas amid attractive displays while seniors discussed and questioned them re- garding job preparation, required experience and advancement. It was a lively occasion and very profitable for all participants. 241 ACTIVITIES Highlighted by water balloon tosses, basketball throws, the famous Miss Ugly Contest, a much visited marriage booth, and many other zany pro- jects. the World Fair, sponsored by the Foreign Language Club on February 12, proved to be a huge success. An increase in student participation, as promoted by a better understanding of the various foreign monetary systems proved to be the key of the overall program. A general feeling of carefree enjoyment was the rule for the day. Ms. Ostrander, co-ordinator of the fair, was well- pleased with the high degree of both school and individual support exhibited towards the project. 242 ACTIVITIES FAMILY FUN M Spencenans spell it with Gonzomania, Sadie Hawkins’ weeking , enjoying a rare southern snowfall and por- traying many moods and faces of just plain goofy to- getherness . 24) ACTIVITIES DANCE,DANCE, DANCE Finger popping and disco-rock- ing, the Green waves boogied to their soul's content this year. The Home- coming dance kicked off this year’s jams and the Beta Club kept the spirit moving with a large turnout before the Christmas holidays. The Juniors christened 1980 with a stomp down romp and the Seniors kept on keeping on with a cowboy themed dance. 244 ACTIVITIES LEARNING EXPEDIENCES Expanding learning beyond the walls of the class- room. Spencerians joined hands with community leaders and tapped outside resources to make for some interest- ing and informative times. Cloud cruising in a small craft made flying a very personal experience for some Green- waves who almost developed a craving for the upper altitudes; meanwhile earth bound Spencerians found that hearing local issues explained by an expert clarified a lot of political 'hocus pocus . Whether it was being en- thralled by sports heroes or solo conquering the myster- ies of the Josten's 3-R Layout, the Greenwaves never stopped learning. V- 243 ACTIVITIES Celebrating birthdays, dressing up, and just plain old being proud of our Greenwaveship, are the ways in which we Spencerians exhibit both family and Green - wave spirit. Nevertheless, realizing our first responsibil- ity is to America, we also take time out to mourn our fellow countrymen stranded in other lands. With activi- ties such as this, the Green wave Family display the true meaning of pep while recognizing the role it plays in making our everyday lives more enjoyable. 246 ACTIVITIES 247 ACTIVITIES 248 ACTIVITIES BARBARA STOKES WRITES WEEKLY TEEN TEMPO ARTI- CLE.

It truly takes a star, to effortlessly hurdle the ETS' SAT barrier to post secondary schooling. However, Roger Estrada demonstrated native high jumping ability when his scores earmarked him as Spencer's representative to the glittering banquet of stellar intellectuals. The brief awards ceremony held on February 7, 1980 before the assembled Juniors and Seniors reflected the immense family pride this honor generated. Displaying an air of nonchalant casual - ness, Roger took his laurel in stride, naming Mrs. Pam Coffield as the teacher who has most influenced his aca - demicgrowth. Although these two Spencerian stars com- peted unsuccessfully for an even higher accolade of Mus- cogee county Star Student and Teacher, they are the brightest sparklers in the Green wave firmament. STAR STUDENT - ROGER ESTRADA STAR TEACHER — PAMELA COFFIELD 1980 SPOTLIGHT Angela Teal — Being active during your school years will prepare you for the respon - sibiliries to come in the future. Outstanding qualities of leader- ship and performance coupled with community service and work exper- ience were the basis for selection of students to be spotlighted by the 1980 Spencerian. Nominations were made by the student body and facul- ty and selections were determined by votes cast by a panel of judges. Teachers included in this prestigious section are those who were over- whelmingly named as being most in- fluential to the largest majority of Spencerian students. Each home- room was asked to list by individual student, the name of the one teacher who had helped him her the most during their sojourn at this school. The winners pictured within these pages laureled the lion’s share of the votes. The yearbook staff is proud to spotlight these gifted guides and the students who represent a true blend- ing of the school and community. Anthony Rowell — Being involved gives me a chance to use my talents to help the community in every way possible to show them that we, the young people, are doing these services are hard working youths and the Americans of the future. Kim Moore — Working gives me the chance to relate my feelings towards other people and also gives me the satisfaction of knowing I have been of service to other people. 269 SPOTLIGHT Barbara Stokes '7 feel that everyone should be involved in a community service or some form of a help- ful capacity because it gives insight into one’s own character by adding another di- mension to life while making a contribution to other people and the surrounding soci- ety. Tammy Graham For me it has been a great experience, it has helped me to become a more responsible person ... to feel that when you work you not only work for yourself but for the peo- ple. Gaye Burgamy If I can help someone as I pass through life then my living will not have been in vain. David Ely ''You can have your nose in a book all your life but till you get out and work and do things in the community, you won't learn responsibility and how to deal with life. ” Shelly Harris I look at each activity in which I am in- volved as a training ground for life. For no matter what I do, I must deal with people — all kinds of people. Kim Greene To be happy during life you must be your- self and learn to take the gambles that will bring you happiness. ” 270 SPOTLIGHT Cathy Volta Both working and involvement are impor- tant in leading a happy life, because they both give you a sense of self satisfaction and accomplishment. Robert Weaver I believe that you should live your life to its fullest. Be active in not only your school but your church and community activities also. Don 't keep your ideas to yourself, but let them be known and maybe you can donate many things to the organizations you are in. Gabriele Polk A positive outlook on life is a basic necessi- ty for a promising career; nevertheless strive, dedication and 1% luck are also essential. Therefore strive for happiness is your life and your career. Freddy Brin I believe that contributing to the communi- ty and society is an essential of life. Life is not meant to be lived for yourself, but to contribute so that others may learn and ex- pand their services to the community. Rosie Johnson Working and being involved brings future success and a better association with others. Charles McClellan It is natural for me to lead a hand wherever it is needed. People helping people is what makes life worthwhile. 271 SPOTLIGHT Kathy Brown Working in the community and helping people who need help is a part of me, it gives me great pleasure, and I love it!! Yvette Turner I strongly feel that working helps to exer- cise the mind in all aspects. As long as you re contributing something to this life, working will forever be rewarding to yourself as well as to the people whom you affect Wanda Dawson Being able to give your time and energy to one who needs it is a great achievement. I learned the value of how very special it is to show love and kindness to others. Ann Weidner To gain knowledge is useless unless it is pur to practical use in your life to gain success and prestige. V. Hazel Brown Work is as important to me as it is to anyone else. It is a part of life, which is wonderful and enjoyable to me because I only live once and this once is the time that I need to find out who I am while helping others. 272 SPOTLIGHT STUDENTS SELECT SPOTLIGHT TEACHERS RENNER LONEY English Department 1 believe all my students are above average and teaching is the most enjoyable things I can think of.

Social Studies Department To encourage a student to make the most of their education and to educate the child not only in the basics, but also in life in general is my philosophy of teaching. FAYE POWERS Science Department My philosophy is that I believe there are two things a student equally needs; (1) love and (2) discipline. Once they have these, I can teach them anything. SANDRA BRADLEY English Department My philosophy of teaching is that learning should be an enjoyable and pleasurable ex- perience in that it is a challenge to the reach - er to make it so. 271 SPOTLIGHT LILLIAN GALBRAITH English Department Because of a love for children and a desire to help them improve academically, aestheti- cally and spiritually. I choose education as a career. JOYCE MARIE LEE Math Department Teaching should be enjoyed and overcom- ing the rough times you have will help you in your teaching experiences. GERHEA CHUBER English Department 7 expect a lot from my students. I feel if you expect little you get much less than the stu- dent ic capable of producing. Kids are smart, some just have to be pushed to use their brains. TROY McCALL English Department Motivation of students through good teaching is the groundwork for teaching all students. Students meet their fullest and best potential when motivated fully. Teaching I believe is the basis for their education. JANIE BROWN Science Department I believe strongly that the schtx)l exists for the children and a good teacher is a master of communication and a motivator of chil- dren’s spirit. LINDA SKINNER Social Studies Department ... I am not a bearer of all knowledge. Learning, to me, involves reciprocal commu- nication between students and teachers and between the students themselves. 274 SPOTLIGHT SPENCER’S SUPER SENIORS David Cannella Gillian C.

Beginning the 1979-80 school year with a freshman orientation program and a welcome tea for the returning faculty, the student council, under the advisement of Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. Grimes, and Mrs. Westbrook, have had an unusually active and productive year. Initiating several new activities and revamping some old ones, the council has touched and involved each and every Spencerian at one time or another. Hosting the District 3 GASC winter workshop, judging the teacher nostalgia day, selling spirit towels to boost school morale, honoring the football players with an appreciation day which included a luncheon and cake are simply a tiny sampling of the new look that the council is projecting. Some of the old activities are the Mr. Ugly Contest, Mr. Miss SHS pageant, providing a hospitality room for visiting teams, coaches, and cheerleaders and keeping the student body well informed about events around the school. Under the leadership ofjoni Gardner, the council attended several District 3 workshops, and hosted the first GASC District 3 winter workshop ever held in Columbus. This event as well as other student council involvement was highly successful.

Horticulture Club The advent of Spring 1979 amid the woodland beauty of the Spencerian cam- pus and the addition of a greenhouse to the Science department, inspired the for- mation of the Horticulture club. Under the advisement of Mr. William Sledge, the club's aims are to develop an appreciation for the beauty of nature and an under- standing of its bounty and variety. Mem- bers execute this aim through projects that enhance the natural beauty of the school's setting and in cultivating flower beds, pruning trees, sculpting shrubbery and providing distinctive floral arrangement comprised only of wild vegetation. The club is warmly welcomed to the Green- wave family and efforts to beautify home are always appreciated. 281 CLUBS DECA OFFICERS: (L-R) CHARLES POE, REPORTER. REN- ATE DE CLOUET, TREASURER.

As a result, one or more of the bands numerous individual sections could always be found raising school spirit and support at such functions as pep rallies, banquets, football games, and basketball games. After overcoming the difficulties of constr ning a new band and developing the necessary sense of togetherness essential for top quality music, the marching Greenwaves reached a pinnacle of excel- lence never before achieved in the history of new Spencer. The added attraction of an all new feature entitled the Muppet Show also did much to unify the Spencer family, showing that laughter is an inte- gral part of all tightly-knit organizations. The Jazz Band, or lab as it is sometimes ed, specializes in composition, music theory, am ? music techniques, performed at basketball games to help heighten Greenwave spirit. While the intermedi- ate band concentrates on individual assistance and students desiring to learn an additional instrument, the Symphonic band represents the highest attainable music group. Besides making history by being the first Columbus band to perform at the New Medical Center’s groundbreaking ceremony, this elite group also added, District, Solo, and Ensemble festival per- formances to their lengthy list of accomplishments. Mr. Fritz Siler, the band's director, is extremely proud of his students hard work and is both arduously and steadily striving to maintain a code of exemplary excellence among them.

Performing at the opening of the Columbus Trade Center, and pepping the Green wave spirit with Christmas carols in the halls and at PTA, the Spencer choruses have really been on the move. The singing owls climaxed a spectacular year with a success- ful pop concert. 286 CLUBS OFFICERS: (L-R) DESIREE FARVE, VICE-PRESIDENT, MATT From row (L-R): Mrs. Bradley, Dorothy Mann, Belinda Hill, Kim GECZY, VICE-PRESIDENT, GILLIAN SMITH.

The Spencerian Mu Alpha Theta chap- ter boasts a large active membership whose various in- volvements make their green and gold jerseys a familiar sight around the school. Since the need to communicate mathematically with fellow figure fanatics brought about the naissance of the club, the members seek calculation challenges through participation in such activities as the Georgia Mathematics League, the Georgia Southwestern, the Georgia State University, and the Columbus math tournaments. Feeling that the above efforts merely tickles their appetites for the dedicated rigors of higher math, the club seeks other areas in which to display their native numerical nimbleness. By participating in regular ciphering matches and community programs such as VITA, these students symbolize pride and service. 289 CLUBS Representing the skills of public speaking and journalistic writing the brand new Quill and Scroll Club and the seasoned Debate Team Corral a big chunk of Spencer's talent.

It is the one club that digs into the intricate technology that comprise today's society. In addi- tion the club whets the appetite of those students who are hungry for the scientific knowledge and skills that have become a must in order for modern survival. Aside from regularly scheduled classes, this club provides an outlet for students who have a really deep interest in scientific activi- ties and explorations beyond the textbook and the class- room. One highlight event is the preparation for participation in the annual Science Fair. Students conduct their own experiments, using laboratory techniques, writing and communication skills to determine whether or not their initial hypothesis is correct. The winner of the school fair represents Spencer in the District Fair later in the season. The club further develops scientific skills and know how through various community based activities and investiga- tive field trips. From the zeal and fervor displayed by the Spencerian science clubbers, it is easy to fantasize Spencers producing several noteworthy future scientists. Since this is the palce to be in order to enrich skills in reasoning and critical thinking while acquiring experimental foundation for a possible scientific career. FOREIGN LANGUAGE C Standing (L-R): William Drummond — President, John Hall — Other Officers Not Pictured. ) The Foreign Language Club offers a chance for students to experience life in other countries.

Besides experimenting with foreign foods, dress, and customs, the club plans to sponsor the World’s Fair, which is a school-wide activity and exposes all students to other cultures and currencies.

Getting a club off the ground is very hard work but under the determined efforts of Mrs. Chuber and Mrs. Ostrander, students who are inter- ested in extra-curricular cultural events, displaying their language flair as well as their writing abilities, have finally found a niche. This organizational year has been spent in meetings — establishing ground rules and exchanging pleasur- able banter. The culmination of the club's efforts will be exhibited in the editing of the 1980 Spencerian Antholo- gy featuring students’ poems, stories, chuckles, etc. As a treat for all their hard work the members are tentatively plan- ning to attend a play in Atlanta. 29) CLUBS FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Sitting (L-R): Tummy Graham, Tomeria Davis, Jackie Ghant, Debra Rush.

AM CLUBS FHA Creative homemaking, vocational role playing, de- veloping social poise, these are a few of the myriaded activities that involve the members of the Future Homemakers of America Club. The FHA'ers have been very active this year with bake sales, hosting teas for the faculty, and participating in several activities that are new, designed to make the Spencerians aware that although ERA is the thing, homemaking, chil- draising, and femininity are not passe. One such event was the mock wedding and reception presented as a joint activity with the Home Economics Classes. The group planned the wedding from invitation, down to the food preparation for the reception. Since the FHA is so intimately concerned with the roles that youths will eventually assume within the future of our society, the club strives to encompass the community within its range of activities and inject each member with a sense of responsibility for all mankind. Mrs. Burton and Mrs. Andrews are the sponsors and the club is ably led by Wanda Dawson. The 1979-80 Cosmetology Club truly proved to be one of the most glamorous members of the Spencer Green- wave scene. Initially organized in 1978 by veteran club advisor, Mrs. Drucilla Crawford, this group of talented and enterprising young ladies and gentlemen arduously strove to continue a well established tradition of cosmetic excel- lence. Aided by the recent acquisition of the most modern equipment and the adoption of the latest techniques, club members manage to spread beauty throughout the school and community while simultaneously acquiring valuable real life beautician experience. Commons area displays, hairstyling maneuvering as well as facial demonstrations all highly contributed to the success of the club's National Education week participation. Evidence of the club's ample artistic talent can be seen sp orted by faculty members, fellow students and nursing residents where many club members do volunteer work. ------------------------- COSMETOLOGY CLUB Officers (from L-R): Verna Whitaker, Cynthia Givens, Brenda Blood saw.

Chess Club Chess is tailor made for the student who relishes gruel- ling one-to-one combat but who for one reason or the other has no inclinations to join organized athletics. A game that demands mental dexterity and adroit maneuver- ing, it teaches discipline and instill enthusiasts with the ability to rudimentally analyze and bluff opponents. This is a valuable skill that can be directly applied to the game of life. Chess has taken Spencer by storm and making the moves that bring success, the 1979-80 Chess team under the sponsorship of Mr. Grimes are undefeated against all challengers. A most worthy accomplishment for a novice team in such a complex, strategy oriented game.

It was through his ardent but quiet persistence that the club was formed last year, and although membership lags alarmingly at times, he continues to work with the community, assisting rescue operations, firemen, scout troops, etc. in any way possible. Charles sums things up tidely when he says, I love working with radios and studying to be- come more advanced and I don't mind helping anybody at anytime. WELDING The American Welding So- ciety (AWS) is an organization dedicated to advancing the arts and sciences of welding and al- lied processes. The club is de- signed to encourage students to better understand the processes involved in welding and moti- vates interest in the profession while keeping current with all new machines and materials. The club is new to Spencer this year and promises to provide exciting opportunities for Neo- phytes welders as well as skilled craftsman. WELDING CLUB STANDING (L-R) TIM JONES, TIM WOODS, MR.

Yet, aided on by their companion phrase ’’blood, sweat, and tears” this collection of young writers, photographers, and business oriented individuals have truly come a long way in the pursuit of their ultimated goals — the production of an annual in which can truly be felt the essence of the mighty Green wave Pride, and the acquisition of the cov- eted Georgia High School Press Award.

The office aides are comprised of students who give secretarial assistance to the principals and counselors around the school. This provides a firm background to give them a basic beginning in the vocational world. These students work on an hourly basis in the office. Their work consists of running errands, mimeographing, answering the phones, and typing. The library aides, confined to a more specific area, assist in all aspects of the library sciences. It gives a basic insight into the field in case any of the students decide to pursue a library career. Besides using copy machines, stamping and shelving books, working in the library give students the opportunity to grow in interactions with other people. Their warm personalities have made it easier for everyone to obtain library assistance as they are provided service with a smile ” LIBRARY AIDES (L-R): Barbara Stokes, Cynthia Givens, Elaine Jackson, Verna Whitaker, Regina Jackson, Karen Dence, Phyllis Williams, Richard Bailey, William Drummond, Robert Weaver.

After two years in limbo, the Wa - vettes have made a dazzling come- back. Making their debut January 8, during the half-time of the Ba- ker-Spencer game, the dance team wowed and wooed the Spenceri- ans. With snappy uniforms, topped by snazzy boots and cowboy hats, the group, performing self-created choreographed, synchronized dance routines, add a new flavor to the Green wave spirit. The team should be congratulated in their courageous insistence to become reactivated this year. After several problems with sponsorship, the group now enjoys the attention and protection of Mrs. Martha Williams as advisor. The Wavettes are a welcomed addition to the Green wave family, adding zest and interest to the games and giving the audience an ample eyeful of the talent that abounds at Spencer High School. w A V E T T E S ill CLUBS A FAMILY MARKINGS ON NAMES 312 AUTOG RAPHS THE SANDS OF TIME SA YINGS 313 AL v rrOGRAPHS To all things there is a season and the cycle ol rime and life touched the Spencerian family and we experienced A A' ' TO MOL JR iV And A Time To Rejoice!! 314 REMEMBRANCE David Ziegler for being there to my every cry of help7 George McCormick for your infinite understanding and cooperation!

Assuming the leadership of the school in its thirteenth year, he can be credited with guiding the fledgling Greenwaves during their trying and ten- uous years of coming of Age as an institution of merit and excellence. He successfully maneuvered the school through two major changes — the first was a curriculum fulfillment in the addi- tion of a twelfth grade in 1950 and the other, a physical change in the granting of a new building on Sheperd Drive in 953. Whatever the change, Mr. DuVaul was the cement that held the family together, infusing members with wonder, challenging them to the ultimate miracle of full self-realization. Memory, that fragile bridge to yester- day, recalls him controlling the pulse beat of the school, carving through problems, wearing the pants of the house , being stem disciplinarian on one hand and per- ceptive indulgent confidant on the other. He embraced the family with his pride and affection and each passing year ad- ded more luster to his wisdom and great- er depth to his stature. Inspiring love and respect within the early graduating classes who in turn embellished and amplified his image, Charles Wesley DuVaul be- came a prodigious legend that, even now, continues to capture the imagination and esteem of the Columbus community. 319 CLOSING Spencer High School 4340 Victory Drive Columbus, GA 31903 December 18, 1979 Students qf Spencer High School 4340 V Ap Drive ColumbmMpA 31903 r Students It is most appi pnate to have J he Family” as the theme of the 1979-80 annual.

Principal 320 CLOSING Fellow Spencerians: . -t-v.-jt,.- As I reminisce my four years at Spencer, a wave of nostalgia engulfs me and the sorrowful bitterness of regret colors my imminent departure. It's hard to leave a loving home and Spencer has always been home to me From the time I first stepped onto Greenwave ground, I knew this was the place to be. This feeling of secure cozy rightness insulated the loniless and fears of my freshman year and imbued me with the good old green and gold spirit. At first. I thought that being a freshman was worse that being consigned to purdah , but after seeing the eldest shoulder the work and responsibilities of keeping things going and the second born bicker and fight with the knee babies, I was glad that as the baby I was in the best spot to get all the coddling and attention. From today's vantage point, I realize that each class level also represents a necessary developmental level which is a natural part of life's growing cycle. Just as I'd established myself into the routine of things and really knew my way around the Shepherd Drive campus, the heartache of relocation hit me. At first I thought it would kill me to pull up those long deep roots, especially when the location shift scattered my brother and sisters like seeds in the winds. But somehow I endured the separation. I was apathetically indifferent to the blandishments of the new house feeling that it could never be home. Slowly, however, I merged into the new pattern of things and accepted all the new relatives as home folk . What can I say about my time at Spencer? What conclusions can I draw? I actualized my capabilities here, set my goals, took those very first steps toward adulthood — right here at Spencer. But now the time has come fo me to leave this place for a future yet uncharted. However, as much as I hare to leave, I do nor cry or fret for I know that life here will go on and I also know with a certainty beyond fate that there will always be a strong will inside me to return home again, home to the loving arms of my Greenwave family. Affectionately yours, (jcru) fPi ihryjsTWV Joni R.
