Most of the 2353 students enrolled would agree that Sprayberry possesses many highlights which are not found elsewhere. Sprayberry, compared to other schools in the county, state, and nation, rates favorably in many areas. The new Sprayberry opened in 1973, and since then SHS students have participated in, and often won, region literary meets, state math tournaments, county academic bowls, and even local chess tournaments. Since 1976, about thirty Governor's Honors Program stu- dents have been selected from Sprayberry, about eight of them this year. These figures rank SHS in the top ten schools in the state. Nineteen eighty-one faculty consists of 111 teachers, many aides, and numerous personnel such as custodians and lunch staff. Administration, headed by Roger Russell with the aid of assistant principals Hal Cochran, Jay Dye, Jim Harrison, Charles Lee, and Judy Patterson, directed the school through the many crisis which are bound to beset a high school as large as Spray- berry. Math, social studies, science, English, and home economics departments all attempt to in- crease learning enioyment by teaching out-of-the-ordinary cur- riculum such as Bible in Litera- ture, Marriage and Family Life, Meteorology, and Advanced Math Concepts. Jackie BrumbeIow's work with deaf students has been highly praised, and most hearing impaired students in the county lcont. on p. 53 K , K X. ,' ff' f ' M .

Dedicated actors under Mike Moss' direction produced two major productions, the comedy Harvey and the drama All My Sons, and a few minor productions, such as Feitfer's People, and participated in a mime troupe, the Mossketeers, an item no other school in the state possesses. Sprayberry's Student Govern- ment Association, sponsored by Diane Paty and Debbie Overstreet, is recognized nationally in Student Advocate as a superior SGA. This year's SGA collected more blood for the annual Red Cross Blood Drive than any other school in the state, and still organized the expected Winter Wingding and other events such as Homecoming Festival. Sports is a dominating force at SHS. Sprayberry's wrestlers again astounded the state by taking first in Region and sixth in State. Other sports such as football, soccer, baseball, volleyball, golf, track, and tennis captivated the fans' attention. The new SHS swim team had an impressive first year. And the 1980 girls varsity basket- ball team was awesome. Dribbling all the way to Macon and shooting for the stars, this spirited bunch of girls finished third in the state. Cobb County is growing almost as fast as any city in the nation, and is certainly an ideal place to be for having a good time. Almost every recreation imaginable is found in Cobb. Whatever the activity students participate in, the 627 freshmen, 611 sophomores, 583 juniors, and 571 graduating seniors are each proof that Sprayberry IS the Place to Be.

THE PLACE T0 be your se SCHOOL LIFE at Sprayberry High gives all 2353 students the chance to be themselves. Unique events take place throughout the 1980-81 school year, from Homecoming Music Festival to Spring Fling, all giving students the chance to let loose and enjoy the high school years, whether it be the first or last. This is the place for Spray- berrians to recognize events around them, from Election '80 to the vast growing community, which started directly across Sandy Plains Road in Sprayberry Crossings. The students here at Sprayberry show a certain pride and style in how they spend their time and the way they present themselves. Some examples are the large number of students working at Hichway, Food Giant, and McDonald's along with the various fashions worn by girls and boys, freshmen and seniors, clearly offering all ranges of students a chance to be them- selves. Sprayberry is . . . the place to be. VM A CRUISER Below: PARTY HARDY! Greg Powell, Don Kile, and Brad Camp are seen cruising through the familiar McDonald's parking lot with familiar McDonald's cups.

When the seventh period bell rings on Friday afternoons, students jump from their seats ready for and looking ahead to a weekend behind Wheels. Whether they borrow the family wagon or drive their own set of wheels, students swarm up and down the two strips looking for fun. Canton Road has always been a favorite of cruisers, offering more sights in one night than one can imagine. It has everything needed for cruising such as eating places, pizza parlors, movie houses, gas stations, a huge parking lot for parties and to hang out for a while, it even comes with its own set of neighborly policemen. Sandy Plains Road is coming to life as a cruising strip offering Bumpers Junction and Mauldins Pizza. It has policemen also. Cruising is a favorite of all and will always be looked back on as the best part of Sprayberrys students life. The various elements of night cruising such as running into friends, stopping for liquid refreshment, heading for parties, and keeping sharp eyes out for blue lights will always bring back thrills and chills behind the wheels of Sprayberry cruisers.

Here, at Sprayberry, the week before Homecoming every year is Spirit Week , consisting of electing the Homecoming Court, an ice-cream social, and five different dress-up days, then en.ding with a bang at two Homecoming pep rallies Thursday night and Friday afternoon before the game. All of these activities are designed to boost spirit for the game Friday night. The ice-cream social is planned by the student government for players, coaches, cheerleaders, and SGA members. This year all invited munched out Wednesday afternoon on an array of flavors and toppings provided by SGA members. Another event planned by Spray- bsrry's top-ranked Student Government Association is the Thursday night Homecoming pep rally or Music Festival. Taking the place of the Homecoming Dance this year, the Festival consisted of performances by Sprayberry's number one Band of Gold and Jackettes, the Dixie Dolls cloggers starring Lisa Campbell, and of course, Chance Mountain Grass and Gary Harris singing for Father's Finest. A crowd of Sprayberrians turned out at the Festival in anticipation of the Varsity Homecoming game the next night. Dress-up days were planned by SHS's Varsity Cheerleaders. Monday was Little Kids Day and Tuesday everyone dressed as tackily as possible. Wednes- day was Fifties Day and on Thursday, the schooI's spirited showed up in overalls and straw hats for Hillbilly Day . Friday saw a majority of the student body clad in Jacket white, gold, and black for the afternoon pep rally, in which the Junior Varsity relieved the Varsity Cheer- leaders of their duties. Also in the program were Doc Michel's dancing performance and cheers by a few of the elite Varsity footballers. The J.V. Cheer- leaders inspired the crowd to a frenzied spirit as the big game loomed only a few hours away.

The Jackets on the field were losing to the Cherokee Warriors by a score of 10 to 7 at half-time. Half-time saw the Homecoming re- presentatives parading around the field and waving to the fans from their Corvettes. Then all the girls and their escorts were introduced and waited on the field as the announcer put forth, The 1980 Homecoming Queen is Robyn Bennett. The Jackets plodded through the mud to a surprise win, overcoming the Warriors by a score of 13 to 10 to perfect for the fans the Homecoming festivities. if W w f v 15 IALR your Y .lu 1 Q' 16 BREAD-WINNERS A maiority of the upperclassmen at Sprayberry have part-time iobs in addition to attending school. The type of iob varies but most work for the same reason: Money. Students need money for cars, college, clothes, gas, and spending money. Most students put some money in the bank for future needs. Many students are employed at fast food restaurants such as McDonald's and Wendy's, but others work at family style restaurants such as the Hungry Bull. Another common employer is grocery stores and small shops. Grocery stores such as Food Giant and Kroger provide work for many students. Students at Sprayberry are also em- ployed at drug stores and gift shops. Another category of jobs that certainly deserves recognition is the type of iob that may possibly lead to a future career. Many boys do construc- tion work or work in stores owned by parents learning bookkeeping and other useful skills. Sprayberry girls have obtained iobs as typists which may lead to a future career in secretarial work. Working is an important part of many students' lives and is a major opportunity to show responsibility and independence. It is a comfort to students to know that they have their own spending money and do not have to run to Mama everytime they need money. Though it is not always fun, most students will continue to work and enjoy the benefits.

As sponsor of cheerleading, Student Government As- sociation, and National Honor Society, and as English teacher extraordinaire, she has added sparkle to the learning of the students she contacts. Somehow Miss Case is able to instill in her students a love and understanding of literature far above the ordinary. She does this by coming down to the students' level. For instance, she des- cribes Robert Cohm in The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway ta god, to Miss Casej as a wimpg she allows her own passion for the works to shine through. The senior class of 1981 has profited in various ways from her guidance and support. ln a sense, Miss Case graduates with this class, as she was also a freshman in 1977. The support lent by Miss Case in understanding the life seniors will meet in college has been a great help to many SHS students. She even wrote letters of recommendation for college and scholar- ship applications for some seniors. By offering her dedication in many ways - spending more time correcting papers in order to insert helpful remarks, working after class with students on term paper topics, and iust being there to answer questions - this remarkable lady has managed to enhance the lives of students she teaches by accepting the teacher's responsibility to influence. So, in the undying words of Miss Case herself, How 'Bout Them Dawgsl And thanks, Miss Case, from the Class of '81.

There was an abundance of styles and colors exhibited. It was common to see the New York-Paris style around the school in the form of straight skirts and blazer-styled jackets. Another common sight around the Sprayberry campus was down-South redneck styled jeans, boots and cowboy hats. One of the newer fads was a rather short-lived oneg that was Punk rock. For the short time that punk was around, styles such as purple pants, hair and shirts were worn with black slick pants. Aside from the wide range of clothing styles, there was also a wide variance in hair styles. The classical French braid was probably the most unique hair-do to hit the scene. There were, of course the basic wings or feathered look. The curly looks were also roaming the halls of Sprayberry. These were just a few of the many changes to hit the fashion-minded students at SHS. It seems that for the New Styles , Sprayberry is certainly the place to be.

QUEEN FOR A NIGHT The girl is queen for a night, says Doc Walt Michels of the winner of the Eleventh Annual Miss Echo Beauty Pageant held November 13, as for the eighty-four who did not win, it gives them a chance to parade and to feel good about themselves. That winner was sophomore Kellie Casey, one ot eighty-five contestants who had to find spon- sors, fill out information cards for their stroll down the walkway, and, hardest of all, select and buy two outfits before pageant time. The beauties were rated by six judges on the basis of poise, originality of evening gowns and sportswear, charm, personality, and overall appearance.

THE PLACE FOR EATING 81 LEAVING Every day, students of Sprayberry pass the school hours following their daily routines without really taking notice of two places on the campus that are pertinent elements of their routines: the Iunchroom and the parking lot.

The changes now taking place will affect Sprayberry students and provide many opportunities for them. One development was the comple- tion ol Richway. This store, located on the corner ol Canton Road and Sandy Plains Road, provided many students with jobs and is also convenient as a discount store. Another major addition is the construction ol Lassiter High School, on Steinhauer and Shallowlord Roads. Lassiter will help eliminate the over crowding at Sprayberry and Walton as students lrom these schools will comprise the new student body. Lassiter's projected completion date is the tall of 1981. It will have a student capacity ol 2,000 and will be the largest school in this area until the vocational wing addition at Sprayberry will put it ahead. The vocational wing will have a great ellect on Sprayberry. Much surveying and testing has been done and the administration is in high hopes ol having the ground-breaking in the spring ol 1981. Although this new wing will not effect the juniors and seniors ol this year, its tentative completion date will allow classes to begin in the 1982-1983 school year. These classes will play s big part in the futures ol many students. These changes in the community prove that Cobb County is preparing tor the future and will provide many advantages that were not previously accessable.

Left: NO PEP RALLY is complete without an Elvis song from Gary Harris. Gary was also a contributing member to the 80-81 varsity football team, and is e member of a gospel rock group, Fathers Finest. From the cheerleaders skits and the bands hair-raising drum cadences to Whitey Tucker's football poems and every detail in between, Sprayberry's pep rallies are each unique. One can feel the tension building from the moment he steps through the doors of school to hear that longed for phrase uttered: We're on a pep rally schedule. It means each students class will be cut live minutes, and at 2:35 he will be able to join in and let loose at an intense Sprayberry pep rally. Starting as a joint effort between the Varsity cheerleaders, the faculty and various other organizations, the pep raIly's main goal is to fire-up the players and encourage jam-packed stadiums and gyms. This it does, as proved by the lingering, exhilarating spirit displayed by fans at the games . . . The success of a pep rally depends upon a conglomeration of skits, cheers, chants and even an occasional surprise guest. Whatever the itinerary, the result is always the same - a gym full of vivacious spirit consisting ol representatives from every class and organization. 29 PECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIA KENT4?Hv 1 1 Ipqow 'S , -'--r- - fve- I I Ng!!! :df11TZ9?u, ' Ill Far left: MRS.

Before the election, Sprayberry students picked George Lankford over George Bently for the County Commis- sioner seat, and for the House of Representatives Sprayberry chose Larry McDonald over Richard Castelluis by a landslide. Herman Talmadge was crushed by Mack Mattingly for U.S. Senate. Also in the Sprayberry poll, for presidential office, Indepenedent candidate John Anderson and Libertarian Ed Clark tied with 6'Va of the vote. Sprayberry chose Ronald Reagan, over Jimmy Carter, with 49M of the vote. Reagan won the national election coast to coast.

NOT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE INTO THIS SPORT, remarks Keith Platt, an avid skaleboarder often seen behind Sprayberry jumping home-built ramps and practicing difficult stunts. When not spending up to three hours a day skateboarding in his neighborhood, Keith often heads down to the skateboard parks In South Atlanta where he admires all the really good professional guys . They give me something to reach for, says Keith, who hopes to someday to build a concrete bowl in his back yard just like the ones in the parks. Below middle: THE MORE I DANCE, THE MORE I SEE WHAT I HAVE TO ACCOMPLISHQ' states this devoted and awarded dancer of tapp, jazz, and ballet. Gwyn Morgan has been into dance for more than a decade now, ever since she was three, and has been appropriately rewarded for all the time she put in. Gwyn has won four Regency Dance Titles, a 4-H State Contest, a Kiwanis Capers contest, and most recently she achieved the alternate position in dance for the Governor's Honors Program. She says ballet is fairly different compared to other activities and it is a lot of hard work. Stressing this fact she replies, '-if my Q' .NA heart wasn't into it. I wouIdn't devote so much of my time to dancing. Below right: EVEN THOUGH l'M ACTIVE IN OTHER THINGS, SINGING IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME, remarks Bess Fenley, who spends about an hour and a half a day learning and practicing ways to better her talent. Besides taking chorus lessons here at Sprayberry, Bess trudges over to Kennesaw Junior College once every week to take lessons from Dr. Wayne Gibson, her teacher who also serves as a sort of influence to Bess, being her idol. All of her time and practice has paid off, as she won first place in the South Eastern Champions Competition, second in the National Association of Teachers of Singing competition, second in the GMTA competition, and varied scholarships from several colleges. Bess sings classical music in five different languages and says she enjoys it. She concludes, My singing will help with my college tuition because of the scholarships and it also makes my Mom happy. Bottom left: I COMPETE IN SPELLING MOSTLY FOR MY TEACHERS. I HOPE MY ABILITY TO SPELL WELL IS A REFLECTION OF THEM, states the second best speller in the state of Georgia, Lyta Shadburn. Lyta has been competing in spelling bees since eighth grade when she won the school spelling bee at J.J. Daniell Middle School, and ever since then she has been racking up titles and awards from every competition she has been to. Last year Lyta placed third in state and confides that her ability mostly comes from reading and learning vocabulary. 4,-,x r 36 in us' D.

Mardette Coleman, and Sandy Case. Lyta Says 'haf competing in spelling bees has helped her memory of how words are spelled and has also helped her in writing compositions: she really does not need to constantly turn pages of a dictionary. Lyt PI'0udIy states that she is glad to have suc academic ability and feels it will reward her aft graduation while studying in college. Bottom right: BEING AN EAGLE SCOUT HELPS ME IN HAVING SELF-CONFIDENCE AND PRIDE IN MYSELF, replies Junior Jeff Moore, who has achieved the highest possible rank in scouting after six long years of skillful, tedious work. Jeff, like other fellow scouts, got started through his own personal ambition in wanting to become an Eagle Scout: they all put in long busy hours on projects and services needed to achieve this honored position. Brad Henson is another one of many Sprayberry boys who has earned the title Eagle Scout. Sitting with Jeff Moore, he attends their weekly scout meetings. Earning the title of Eagle Scout not only has brought both boys the recognition they deserve, but it will help them tremendously in the future when applying to colleges and seeking jobs, because most people realize and respect the self-discipline and determin- ation it takes to achieve a high goal such as becoming an Eagle Scout.

Paul has been drawing since the fourth grade when his dad got him started, and now he hopes to become a commercial Illustrator of sports as his profession, just like the famous sports artlst Leroy Newman whom Paul sets his goals after because he likes the artist's style. The art teachers at Sprayberry speak of Paul as producing exceptional pen and watercolor illustrations of sports figures, and remark of the joy he brings to the art department. Below left: SWlMMING KEEPS ME IN GOOD SHAPE: I DO IT BECAUSE I LIKE TO COMPETE. This statement from sixteen year old Randy Marchman explains why he has won so many medals and set so many records during his nine year interest in swimming. Spending three and a half hours every day gracefully splashing through marked racing lanes, Randy compiles just what it takes for an athlete to win such honors as gold and silver medals in state competitions, three Cobb County records and one district record. Randy hopes and plans to receive a scholarship in the future: just one more trophy to put in his case. Below: MUSIC IS MY LIFE: l'M GOING TO GIVE IT THE BEST I CAN. This statement could be coming from any number of students belonging to the Band of Gold, but it was proudly stated by Sophomore Sheryl Exley. One of only two people chosen from Mr. Martin's band, Sheryl, along with Senior Bill Clarke, has been rewarded with a seat in the All State Band. Not only did Bill place first chair in the All State Band, but he also earned a position in the Cobb County Orchestra. These are not the only two exceptional members in the Band of Gold, Senior Bridgette Godwin finsetj received a position in the WSB Honor Band, rewarding her for all the hours of lessons and practice she put into mastering the sounds of the flute. 7- 37 Left.

How 'bout them Dawgsl . . . Just like starting over . . . We have a lift-off . . . All of these and more were headlines that were in the news this year. The nation as well as many Sprayberry students were shocked when they heard the news of John Lennon's brutal murder. Once again, the radio stations played historic Beatles music to remember the former vocalist for the group. A wave of euphoria swept through the state when the University of Georgia Bulldogs started to rise in the college football ratings. T-shirts, bumber stickers, and hats all pro- claimed support for the number one team. The Bulldogs charged into the Sugar Bowl and emerged as the top team in the country. Millions of Americans sighed a breath of relief and shed a tear of happiness when the fifty hostages were released. The hostages spent 444 days under the treats of Iranian militants following the religious revolution in Iran. Eight American servicemen gave their lives in attempt that failed to rescue the hostages. Also, the Canadian govern- ment risked their own people to secret six Americans out of Iran. 1981 saw two assassination at- tempts, one on newly-elected President Reagan and one on the Pope, and increased debate over handgun con- trol. The nation witnessed the exci- tement of a soap opera mystery and watched with the world the launching of a new decade in space with the space shuttle Columbia . The nation of lsreal attacked an Iraqi nuclear facility for suspicion of nuclear weapons produc- tion. These were just a few of the headlines that topped the papers of this climactic year. TALENT SHOW 81 MR. LEGS This year's talent show, sponsored by the sophomore class, was an enormous success. The Mr. Sprayberry Legs contest was combined with the entourage of acts to entertain the expectant audience. The students poured in to watch Phyllis DiPietro sing Out Here On My Own from the movie Fame and capture first place. A Christian routine sung by Nancy Gant won second place, and Steve Edison twith his following of screaming girlsl took third as Elvis. Mark Sarajain was named Mr. Sprayberry Legs, David Are took the prize for the ugliest legs, and of course, John Mercure won hairiest legs. COMEDY ROUTINE lor the evening was provided by Steve Elvis Edison captured third place by Eddie Putz whose talent consisted of a newsroom exciting his crowd to a frenzy.

Far right: VALENTINES DAY consists of cards, hearts full of candy, singing valentines, couples, vases of roses, students carrying carnations, red clothing, and naturally the Jr. Civltans providing classmates with the sweet Valentine Spirit. This year's Civltans really played their part of singing Valentines as Illustrated by these two sandwiched sweethearts , Janet Jackson and Dee Lawson. Right: AUGUST 25, the first day of school consisted of newcomers, newly bought spirals, schedules, locker combinations, jammed lockers, painted walls, new clothes, summer tans, and, of course, the llrst day of school just wouldn't be right without those ever-popular confused freshman trying their best to look broken in. The first thing every ninth grader goes through is the annual freshman lecture-assembly held in the gym. These students are trudging off to their first homeroom of high school of which they will have four more long years. Far right: JUNE 5, the last day of school consisted of smiles, celebration, cameras, empty lockers, seventh period finals, early dismissal slips, classroom parties, roaming the halls, good-byes, sighs of relief, the last bell of the year, and one will never forget the paper flying through the air at 3:10. Katrina LeMore celebrates her last day just as other students do: a huge smile on her face and arms up in the air. Right: SPIRIT WEEK consisted of silent cheer- leaders, decorated halls, electing homecoming court, anticipation of Homecoming night, SGA's Banana Split Party, and dressing up in different outfits every day of the week, the most popular event with the students. Senior couple Shan Nix and Terri Ochsenfeld typify the school spirit seen by all the students at SHS during Spirit Week by dressing up on 50's day. Far right: HALLOWEEN consisted of cool weather, lots of candy, black masks worn by students, plans for the night, invitations to parties, black clothing, and the familiar sight of a handful of FHA girls roaming the halls in their diligently put together Halloween outfits. Tammy Hinkley is just one of many girls who volunteered to visit the children hospitalized at Kennestone, bringing them candy providing a little spook to their day. 44 1 1-V, ay, r'l5 I farm,-,p lg 1 1? 5 xg I ,rr lv fu 4 ,f Z V mi ...mil 4 'a '52 I W'-HZL-KL 'E I .MW all ,-, 12 2 ,I ,Ig ,cut vig 1 gs rw ,. ,, 'vs I 1 ,,, ,,,.M!4XV' ? ,v at 5 vga! nip, md., 1 VM- of ,Q . f.

'1'yfXj:,,xk , TYPICAL SCHOOL DAYS? All work and no play makes Sprayberry Jackets dull students. So when those few, unique days roll around each year, SHS students seize the opportunity to alter the dull-drum routines they follow daily by letting loose , showing off, and mainly joining in on the festivities taking place that one special day. Anything can happen on these magical, mystical days, and as for the student body of Sprayberry High, they celebrate to the full extent, letting their individual personalities shine through. So when one is down and out and suffering from those boredom blues caused by the ever dreaded typical day,', just anticipate and be thankful for those few unstructured days offered every year by the one and only calendar of Sprayberry High. 45 THE PLACE T0 be num in-...Q Xini ber one SPORTS here at Sprayberry include teams from all areas of athletics and has all the elements it takes to make Sprayberry's athletic department the place to be number one. This year, Sprayberry's athletes proved themselves to be number one, having all the qualities and elements it takes to make it to the play-offs. Two of the varsity wrestlers won the title of State Champion in their weight division this year, and another wrestler on the varsity team captured second in the state. illustrating fine sportsmanship and strong determination, the varsity girls basketball team won the Cobb County and Region Champion- ships, then went to the state playoffs and held a position in the top four. Even though these two teams were singled out as champs, all other sports teams at Sprayberry certainly have had what it takes to be number one, proving that Sprayberry is . . . the place to be. A LONG EMBATTLED SEASDN Lightning pierced the sky with a brilliance that dimmed the night lamps. An army of white jerseyed Jackets crashed through the ominous banner threatening the Walton Raiders with defeat. The kick was up and the 1980 Varsity Yellow Jackets began their long embattled season. That night saw the offensive line rushing for a total of 214 yards and the quarterbacks, Nick Kavadellas and Mark Haynes, passing for 198 yards. A combination of determination and excitement led the Jackets to a magnificent victory. Later, Coach Whitey Tucker com- mented, 'tl think we looked the best that a Sprayberry team ever has on the opening night of the season against Walton. They had a lot of good material, but the way we played against Walton, I thought we were going to win the region. Dalton and North Cobb, the next two forces to encounter the Varsity team, witnessed a team setting down for long fight for the top position. The defensive line of Sprayberry allowed 231 yards to be gained by Dalton which led to a defeat. Both lines tightened up against North Cobbg a game viewed by Coach John Paty as one of the best games of the season. Scott Viness played very well as he downed six Warriors and assisted in two sacks. The evening of September nine- teenth was hot and both sides were preparing for their first sub-region game. The tension was high as penalty markers flew and fumbles rolled across the turf. By halftime both teams were eye-to-eye, the score: Sprayberry thir- teen and Wills fourteen. Into the third quarter they went, each team pursuing the goals. The Varsity Jackets pulled ahead when Mark Perry went for a twenty-five yard field goal, bringing the score to 16-14. Again, the teams clashed with a gain of seven points each in the fourth quarter. Mark Sarajian buzzed twelve Tigers in personal tackles and assisted in ten. All was in readiness for another Sprayberry victory. The Wills quarter- back pulled out a nine yard pass to stunningly defeat the mighty Jackets. The team was shocked.

The team started out weak hitters, but by the middle of the season they were really coming on, says coach Hutcherson. The teams that we played knew that they had played their toughest game against us. All of the defensive players were outstanding in their own way but Rick Odle was a stand-out. The coaches said that he was the most outstanding defensive player because he was a leader and a consistent player. The most outstanding offensive player, the coaches feel, was Darryl Holliday. Coach Hutcherson said, He was the most talented runner we had and should be a good asset to the Varsity team in the future. 'n -4 .I 1 I rw, .150 -1.4 ' 'Z I 4 1' ?

This is the way coach Joe Bradford describes cross country running. He also says, Ninety percent of the racing is mental. If you don't have a good attitude toward the sport, it doesn't matter how good a shape you're in. You won't do well. Coach Bradford also feels that all of his runners had great attitudes and that is why they did so well. Mike Archer was the teams most outstanding runner this year. He won the county in the 3.2 mile race with an excellent time of 16.34. Susan Rice also excelled on this year's cross country team. She was first in the region in the 2 mile race with a superb time of 13.01. The boys' team concluded the season at third in the region and the girls at seventh. ln the county meet, the boys were third and the girls sixth. Coach Bradford says he enjoyed his first season as a coach at Sprayberry. Top left: A GOOD ATTITUDE really does make a difference. Mark Farmer came out late in the season with a winning attitude and a time of 21.34, and by his last meet had brought that time down to an 18.21.

The members of the team were always fired up and were an inspiration to the other teams. They were a dedicated group who showed the true idea of sportsmanship in every sense. Varsity player Teena Pounds commented, The J.V. team was really great. They obeyed Coach Chandler totally and were really enthusiastic about softball. A memorable close game this year was the bout against North Cobb. Sprayberry's Robin Crump hammered out a homerun in the sixth inning to win the game. They ended the year with a 6-4 record.

Said Coach Joan Chandler, The success the team had this season is due to the outstanding senior leader- ship. Sprayberry stole the tournament with three perfect scores against Wheeler 19-OJ, Walton 16-OI, and McEachern Q9-OI. Coach Chandler added, Though our record wasn't the greatest, I feel that we did exceptionally well because we had three shut-outs. The Varsity Jackets placed third in the tournament.

AGAIN AND AGAIN Sixth Straight Year In State Tourney The 1980-81 wrestling season began another great year for the Sprayberry Varsity squad. Coach Keller started the season by rebuilding the squad but they improved beyond all expectations. ln the first dual meet of the season, Sprayberry took on AAA Champion Rockdale County. This bout proved to be the only dual defeat suffered by Spray- berry throughout the season. After that surprising first game defeat, the squad came back to win nine duals in a row. Jonesboro, Douglas County, and Campbell were felled by crushing blows from the Varsity grapplers. Billy Hulsey captured a first place award, Chris Powell snagged third place and John Mercure took fourth place in the Southeastern Open Wrestling Tournament. Also, with undefeated records, Greg Powell and Billy Hulsey were named the North Metro Wrestlers of the week. The Varsity squad took every top position at tournaments and dual meets. Coach Keller described the bout against Ringgold as one of the most exciting matches of the year. Sprayberry arrived at Ringgold High School as the home school spirit filled the gym. The fate of the entire match came down to the last dual. In the end Sprayberry edged its opponent by three points. A Chattanooga newspaper cover- ing the dual described it as the most exciting match ot the year. All was in readiness for the journey to the top as the Jackets pinned Lagrange to the mats. Sprayberry advanced to the regional tournament where the squad took first place with 215 points. The Varsity Jackets were qualified for the state tournament. Said Coach Frank Keller, This is the thing we've worked for all year. All other dual meets and tournaments were . . . stepping stones to the state. lt's a brand new season when that starts. When asked what the team's chances were in the big playoff, he replied, We've improved steadily all year and I think at this point we've got a real good opportunity to go into the state tour- nament and make some noise.

Although the squad placed sixth in the state, it still gained a good deal of experience for its college-bound seniors. The Varsity wrestling team at Sprayberry still has many strong years ahead.

Some of the schools who could not compete with Sprayberry's Varsity squad dropped down to take on the J.V. squad. The junior Jackets won their filth Cobb County Championship under Coach Tucker's dedicated guidance. Some of the individual winners were Mitch Boling, Alan Kollar, and John Bagwell, all placing first, Kirk Batroff placing second and Wes Kitchens placing third. The J.V. squad doubled the scores of all other Cobb County schools in the tournament. The junior grapplers went into the North Metro Tournament with the pride that every Sprayberry wrestler has. They pinned all competition to the mats until they met Berkmar High School. The struggle was long and disappointing. Sprayberry's J.V. came in a close second in the contest, with Scott Taylor placing third. However, Coach Tucker commented, Berkmar, the team that beat us in the North Metro Tournament, came back to 'wrassle' us the next week and we beat them by twenty points. Some of the highlights of the season included downing Rockdale 66-99 pinning Jonesboro 43-24, and stomping Campbell 60-10. Because of a well balanced J.V. squad, some moved up to compete on a Varsity level, and many freshmen got a chance to gain Junior Varsity experience. Said Coach Whitey Tucker, We always try to get our freshmen exhibition wrestlers a match before the duals . . . They wrestle for the experience and sometimes they get into the J.V. lineup. The Cobb County Freshmen Wres- tling Tournament held in January found Bob Almand, Billy Walker, and Rob Cowan capturing first place and Frankie Edwards taking second place. This year's Junior Varsity and fresh- man exhibition teams will feed into the future Varsity squads a unique mixture of skill, talent, and determination that will keep Sprayberry a dominating force in Cobb County and Georgia wrestling.

Some of the Jackets' top players this year were seniors Jimmy Sutton and Ronnie Myers and sophomore Eddie Curry. Ronnie led the Varsity Jackets in scoring with an outstanding 148 baskets. Jimmy Sutton was second with 142 and Eddie was third with 61 baskets. Eddie Curry led the team in foul shots with thirty-six points while Scott Wallsinger and Ronnie Myers tied each other at thirty-four points. David Dickerson came next with twenty-eight foul shots.

With the jackets ending the season with a 18-5 record, the best in their division, everyone felt state fever. First they had to get by Campbell to win a playoff spot. Cherokee was their way to a division championship. After Cherokee, they needed Osborne to advance to the state playoffs. They needed to down Marietta to go to state. The girls beat Marietta by six points. Quarterfinals, semi-finals, finals, and then state. The Jackets faced LaGrange in the quarterfinals. They came up with a 51-49 win as Tonya Gober sank one at the buzzer. At the semi-finals it was no contest as the jackets downed Townsend 51-50. Next stop, Macon to face North-East Macon. Macon drowned all the hopes as they beat the Jackets 52-45. With four of the five starters graduating at the end of the year, we are going to miss the 1981 Girls Varsity Basketball Team.

From there the weight was pulled by Jimmy Coar, David Goldberg, and Ricky Franke. Coach Johnny Caldwell led the team again this year. This was one ot the beet J.V. squads I have ever coached, says Caldwell. Our record was not as good as I hoped but we worked like a good strong team. I was reel proud ot the boys this year.

Their record was 65-26-1. With such an impressive record the team must have talent. Junior John Draper was the number one golfer in the county and tied with Harvey Barker for fourth in the region. In addition to the individual accomplish- ments, the team as a whole did very well. They finished second in Cobb County and third in the region. They placed fifth in twenty-one teams at the Columbus Invitational. Out of forty teams only fourteen outdid Sprayberry in the Aiken, South Carolina Invitational.

Although their record was due to team work, two players, David Webb and Wes LeCroy, were Sprayberry's All Stars of the North Sub-region Atlanta Dug Out Club. David was selected as High School All-American. Only ten percent of all the high school baseball players are even nominated. Wes had a batting average of .275. David's .641 batting average was the second best in the region. David only had one strike out, sixteen runs batted in, and twenty-three stolen bases. Most of their defeats came from an excellent pitching staff led by Nick Kavadellas and Don Johnson. Nick had twenty-seven strike outs in the year. Don had forty-six and the lowest earned run average of 1.52. The whole pitching staff chalked up over 100 strike outs for the season. Besides great defense, the team as a whole had great offense.

Coach Rhyne said that their chances were pretty good if they did not slack off against their opponents in the final games. The spring break held the team in expectation. The position of the team surprised the members. Said Coach Rhyne, I feel we played pretty good ball and we didn't expect to go that far. Some of the highlights of the season include outstanding performances by high scoring Winn Pennington and Robbie Davis who played offensive and defensive in the midfield. The team had a good, consistent goalie, David Are, and let few get by but the errors never cost the team the game. The aggressiveness of the team pushed them into a position that saw the tournament and possible championship on the horizon. Although the season was not the best, Coach Rhyne said of the season, lt was up and down but we seemed to play better against the good teams.

The Varsity team made the finals to compete against Wheeler. The J.V. team had a high win count and the Freshmen shut out all competitors for the second year in a row. Under the direction of Coach Rhyne, the Varsity Jackets went all the way to the playoffs for the first time in five years. Although Sprayberry lost by five points it did not give up without a fight. Rob Cutts scored the only Jacket goal. After vowing to spend a carefree season, the junior Jackets showed how wild and crazy they really can be. They topped many of their competitors. Called by Doc Michels as the team with the winning way , the baby Jackets were jublient as they downed Milton High 4-0 in the last game of the season. With careful mid-field playing, Stuart Michels scored one and Todd Maddox scored three. This fine display of soccer skills on the part of all three teams shows how well Sprayberry can do and the school salutes them for their fantastic year.

Said Coach Doc Michels, We're training a winning team with a winning way. Beginning this year with a new team of eager players Doc Michels put the baby Jackets up against an out of county school, Milton High. A feeling of first game nervousness started the game but by the end, Sprayberry had the upper hand of the victory and a new feeling of excitement which was to last the rest of the season. Averaging twenty-five goal shots a game and only two or three goalie saves, the excited Jackets overpowered county rivals North Cobb, Marietta, and Wills. Three of the seven season games were out of the usual playing region because the team needed to experience teams with records. This allowed Sprayberry's freshman soccer team to take on a higher level of performance and increase their reputation even further. A few close games almost witnessed the end of a perfect season for the freshman team. With Sprayberry leading 2-1, Marietta took the ball down to the goal. In a daring save one of the three unprecedented goalies leaped upon the ball right in front of the goal as the buzzer sounded. ln another game against Heri- tage High School, the team drove the ball in for the point with only seconds to spare. Sprayberry edged Heritage 2-1. When asked how he felt about the perfect season, Doc Michels replied, It's a great feeling to help young people be successful. The undefeated record of the freshman Jackets was accomplished by a combined effort of team spirit and cooperation along with the backing of the parents and other individuals. The freshman Jackets really showed what they're made of in a winning way.

David Towery placed third in the singles semifinals. Tracy and Scott Cook placed second in doubles. Much new talent was tried this year. Gary Klein moved up to take the number one singles position and did very well. Two freshmen, Mike Knipfer and Blake Frye, had no competitive experience but won four straight before losing to Cherokee. They became the second place number three doubles in the county after beating Walton. Overall, the Sprayberry team was rated third in the county. Coach Bradford commented that because of the coaching problems in the past the team had a hard time learning the philosophy of the game. Despite this, Sprayberry came out on top.

Rogero, J. Edwards, D. Holliday, W. -lollingshed, D. Cochran, T. Wells, R. Nix, E. Boyd,f A. Burton, C. Thomas, E. Wallis, Coach Jenkins. The junior Jackets swept the region as they topped four out of five schools. However, Coach Hutcherson commented, l don't like dual meets . . . the best are the multi-school meetsf' Thus, the J.V. squad viewed the dual meets as practice sessions for the big tournaments. The junior Jackets started the season against the Region's toughest team, as the team took on Walton and lost by only thirty-six points. Coach Hutcherson said, When you go over and compete against Walton, while the other schools are getting tromped on, and come away like we did, I was very pleased. The rest of the season saw the Jackets sprinting past their competition and leaving them in the dust. They did a great job at the multi- school meets, too. The team finished ninth of fifteen competing schools at Carrollton, Georgia. Of the nine high schools challenging each other at the Cobb County Invitational, Sprayberry came in second. The biggest challenge in a sport like track is motivation not big trophies and awards, said the coach, The discipline is so much different than other sports. This season's team seemed to be composed of different groups that had their own level of motivation and dedication. The distance runners were definitely a hard working group. Because of the team's success, Sprayberry gained a reputation that could break the tape at any tournament. Below: A CONSISTENT point-scorer for the J.V. team was Terrell Morris. As a freshman, he competed and had a long jump of eighteen feet, ten and three-quarter inches. 2 i 1 at .,,,. g t NOBDDY DOESIT BETTER The crack of the starting gun, the click of the stop watches, the snap of the tape, and the last burst of speed are feelings that a runner on a track team hears and feels. The Varsity track team members can reflect those thoughts as they eye their medals and trophies of the 1981 season. They captured countless records and sprinted down the roads of victory at every tournament. With these rememberances they can surely say that nobody does it better. Nearly every senior on our team and several iuniors and sophomores hold at least one school record at Sprayberry, remarked Coach Randy Jenkins. This statement seems to best explain the type of season the Varsity track team had. Practically every day the announcements sang out the victory of the team. By the end of the season the team had compiled a winlloss record of 86'Ai. Some of the records held by the Varsity Jackets include topping Osborne 74-61, and downing North Cobb in 12 of 15 events. The Jackets also placed in the various tournaments throughout the region. They took first place in the North Cobb Relays, second place in the Rome News Relays, and third place in the Cobb County Invitational. Coach Jenkins commented, . . . these young men were so tough physical- ly and mentally that they won over 100 medals and six trophies in major meets. Some of the meets had over fifty schools competing in them. The team broke almost every school record. Brad Harmon set a new high jump record of six feet four inches. Ed Bryant leaped twenty-two feet nine and a half inches to set a new region record for the long jump. Greg Taylor added another region record of one minute fifty-six seconds in the 880 run. The Varsity team was a team that took the gold. At the North Cobb Relay they championed five trophies and eighteen gold medals. Coach Jenkins said about the season, Winning is a by-product of doing things right. That applies to the type of boys we have on this team. They do things right. 92 Top: RECORD SETTING ED BRYANT leaped into the sands of success as he continually broke school and region records. Ed placed third in the state with a jump of twenty-one feet, and ten and a half inches. Middle: SOPHOMORE BRAD HARMON set a new school record of six feet, three and a half inches in the high jump. The coach is looking forward for big things for Brad over the next two years. He hopes to be jumping seven feet by his senior year. Bottom: GREG TAYLOR PLACED third in the state in the 880 yard run with a time of 1:55:11. He also set a new region record of 1:56:01.

She placed second in the high jump at the Walton Invitational and first in hurdles and high jump in Rome. Her best record for the high jump was 5'4 . Rhonda is also one of five that will serve as the nucleus of the track team next year. Coach Reynolds said to watch for her in the future.

From the team emerged some girls who became the natural leaders in competition. Certain members of the team formed a cluster of winners that dominated the season. Alth- ough the team did not break any region records, it did set a few new ones for Sprayberry. The girls ended the season with a three to two win-loss record in dual meet competition. One of the closest meets was against Campbell. The fate of Sprayberry's victory came down to the last race of the day, the mile relay. Sprayberry was first to break the tape and thus gained another win. The high placers for that meet included Rhonda Swanson in the jumps and hurdlesg Laurie Ackerly with the shot putg and Laura Favero in the 440 and the 880 yard run. In their first tournament, the team placed Laurie Ackerly in the gold with a new record of thirty-five feet, ten inches in the shot put. The record beat her 1980 school record of thirty-five feet, six and a half inches. Laurie was also the only girl on the team to qualify for the state meet. Other new records to be set included Laura Favero's 2:27:7 time in the 880 yard dash at the Walton Invitational. Susan Rice claimed a time of 12:57:7 in the two mile run. The final record set was by the 880 relay team of Tonya Gober, Gina Boughton, Holly Bell, and Rhonda Swanson with a time of 1:50:2 at the Rome News Relays. At least half of the year consisted of tournaments or relay meets. The team defended its title at the Rome News Relays and brought home another first place trophy. At that meet Rhonda Swanson received the Maxwell Trophy which named her the top female athlete of the relays. The team also captured third place in the North Cobb Relays and sixth in the 5-AAAA tournemnet. Overall, the season was very good. Said Coach Dave Reynolds, This season was highly successful even though there were a lot of injuries to some key performers. 95 ::S-P-l-R-l- ll Right' DISABLED CHEERLEADER Christy Trotter lends support lor her fellow members in spite of a broken leg suffered early in football season.

A Drama Excels Once Again Once again, Mike Moss' Mossketers produced an excellent crop of actors and actresses. Their productions continued to show a definite air of professionalism. Through much dedication and hard work, tha club succeeded in accomplishing many goals for the year. Among those goals was the successful fall season comedy Harvey. Playing a convincing lead as Elwood P. Dowd, Roy Johanson had everyone, namely the audience, convinced that he was keeping company with a six foot white rabbit named Harvey. Other effective scenes were portrayed by an excellent group of novice actors. Harvey's conglomeration of wit and drama will be long remembered by its audiences. 109 . l l, i KALIEDESCOPE entertainer Mark Dobbs amuses a young onlooker at the Civic Center.

For those students who elect to take a foreign language, the Foreign Language Club is the place to get involved. Aside from their sponsorship of the annual foreign language week, the club is also very active in other ways, such as taking numerous field trips to various restaurants specializing in foreign cuisine which familiarizes the students with different types of food. At their frequent meetings, ideas are brought up as to how to get students interested in taking a foreign language, which is the main reason for the foreign language week. The F.L.C. provides a bridge to fill the gap from the foreign language teachers to their students. The activities that this club is involved in lets the students be with their teachers as friends and sponsors, instead of just teachers.

Even though the club was brand new this year, they were of great consequence, and even greater things are expected for next years' group. ffff lllilt viii im, Above - AT ONE OF THEIR DAILY MEETINGS, the prayer group is strong in members and dedication. Here, Mrs. Motter, this year's sponsor, sings right along with the rest of them! Below - THE MIKE DAVIS FUND was this year's biggest project.

Some of the more recognized ones are, of course, the athletes and band students. But what about all of those individuals who stay secluded back in the art hall? This is one ot the main reasons for the Art Honor Society. Persons who have, or are hoping to excel in what- ever art they choose, whether it is in pencil, paints or three-dimensional design, are encouraged to show their art in a competitive manner. This club also helps to publicize the work of promising artists which in turn encourages them to pursue their work further. 132 ll ' Q A, HOT-LIPS by David Wagner SAI L I I COUNCIL: THE DEDICATICN CONTINUES. Have you ever wondered who painted the lines in the parking lot? What about the fire extinguishers in the hallg who makes sure that they are in working order after one of the wittier students has sprayed it until it won't spray anymore? Well, to answer these and many other questions, one has only to look as far as the SHS Safety council. These safety-conscious students do many other vital tasks that often go unnoticed such as planning fire drills and take-cover drills. This organization is an important behind the scenes club which does not often get the credit it deserves.

Classes such as chemistry, algebra, and world history are split into two or more levels so the student can take the level where he or she is most likely to succeed. Another strong point showing the efficiency of Spray- berry's academic courses is the opportunity for certain freshmen to get a head start and take higher level classes other fresh- men are not able to handle. This gives them the chance to fit in more advanced classes their senior year, usually helping out most if they plan on going to college. The special courses offered and the methods of teaching make up a strong academic department, being just one more reason why Sprayberry is . . . the place to be. 1 135 xa- g . ,un P' A PRINCIPAL OR TEACHER?

From the guidance office to the front office, Sprayberry is in good hands. When students have a problem or conflict they have a friendly and patient crew in the guidance office to help solve problems or conflicts. Counselors Lanell Sims, Mirian Hipsher, Ben Jones, Millie Grondo, Farris Fores- man are always helping students with a school or career guidance. Late to school? There are three patient ladies students know they can trust, Ellie Hall, Carol Granon, and Irma Garner are responsible for checking students in and out of school. These ladies can always be found in the attendance office working hard to make sure Sprayberry gets its money from the state. Pat Goldie, pupil personnel clerk, is a well respected administrator by students because she is always there to help. Sprayberry has a fine group of secretaries, and department para- professionals. Carol Smith, school secretary, is a helping hand to students and teachers. She is also the friendly voice students hear in homeroom and in the afternoon. Department para- professionals and aides are very important to teachers because they are responsible for typing worksheets and test. Bookkeeper Betty Grove can al- ways be seen in the main office working with money and balancing the schools checking accounts. Officer Ray Owens can be sean in his blue car or in the main office making Sprayberry secure. These people and others help make Sprayberry the place to be.

The custodians begin their work day around 7:00 in the morning and work continuously until 3:30 in the afternoon. The custodians must con- stantly clean the halls, locker stalls, and stairways to insure the cleanliness of the school. The maintenance crew plays a big part in our schools daily operations. They go trom changing light bulbs to lixing generators, lrom painting walls to repairing clocks, and from sweeping floors to replacing ceiling tiles. We express a special vote ol thanks to our custodians whose work behind the scenes made Sprayberry a better place to learn.

Students can check out books and research many different subjects. The library provides a wide variety of sources for research. These sources are video machines, films, card catalog and periodicals as well as books. If students need extra help in finding their materials, the librarians are willing and ready to give their assistance. The Media Center also has a copy machine to allow students to make copies of articles and other information quickly. Above Sprayberry's Media Staff consists of four very patient ladies. They are: L-Fl. Beverly Adkins, Louise McCord, Fluth Strother, and Jean Tribble.

At the crack ol dawn the cus- todians arrive to start preparing Sprayberry lor the day's activities. About 7:45 students begin to arrive and mingle in the commons area and gym. Soon Mr. Cochran is heard over the intercom: Students, let's start clearing the halls: you have tive minutes 'til homeroom. Alter homeroom, students attend classes lirst through seventh periods and at 3:10 rush to the parking lot to catch a bus or a ride with a friend.

SPECIAL EDUCATION The Special Education program at Sprayberry High School is broken down into three basic parts: deaf education, accelerated learning, and learning disabilities. The special ed program consists of thirteen teachers, four aides and two hundred to two hundred thirty students. Throughout Cobb County the special ed program is steadily climbing to become even better in upcoming years. The deaf ed program includes a Left: CONCENTRATING on her work, Melissa Loy seems to be very involved ln her assignment. Melissa is one of Sprayberry's deaf students.

Below: WHILE ACCELERATED learning teacher Tom Dechman assigns a lesson, Star Student Joe Fox takes a break before beginning. E M.. av f Lf QW variety of means of communications including sign language and lip reading. Sprayberry is the only school in Cobb County which teaches interpretation. During the deaf ed learning process, the teachers and students undergo many frustrations. Mrs. Brum- below says, the students have many inner stresses. Sometimes they become exhausted watching my hands six to seven hours a day. Mrs. Brumbelow gets to know her students more closely because she devotes many hours of her everyday life to teaching them respon- sibilities. She learns their traits and frustrations at school and at home and helps her students cope with them. Another asset to the special ed department is the accelerated learning program, taught by Tom Dechman. This program provides an outlet for gifted students to excel in areas which are not taught in other classrooms at Spray- berry. Students may qualify for this program in a number of ways. First, a 3.5 grade point average and teacher or counselor recommendation will qualify a student. Other means of getting into the program are a 95M score on the standardized test or an l.Q. of one and three fourths standard deviations above the mean. Some of the courses taught by Mr. Dechman include Ascent of Man, Roles and Relations, Concepts of Evil in Literature, and Social Dialects, for which students can receive English, Social studies or elective credit hours. The special aspect of these classes is that the students are taught the hows and whys and the science of the subjects to render them more interest- ing and profitable. Learning disabilities and behavior disorders are also a part of the special ed program.

When a student enrolls in a foreign language class they learn more than another language. They learn the customs, traditions, and the foods of other countries. The department offers students three different languages: Spanish, French, and Latin. Students can take as many as four years in one language class. The department, along with the foreign language club, sponsors Foreign Language Week, when students make posters one day, and have a food day another. On the last day students in all foreign language classes gather into the Large Group Instruction Area for music, skits and interviews with other students. Below: ECOUTE-MOI, Listen to me.

Home Economics, Busi- ness, and Vocational Education all prepare students for the future. The Business Department helps students with certain skills and trades. With courses like Typing, Shorthand, Accounting, and Personal Financing. The Home Economics department helps prepare students for when they venture out on their own with courses like Family Foods and Meal Man- agement, where students learn how to make different kinds of food dishes. The department also offers courses in Dating Years and Marriage and Family Planning. Vocational Education allows stu- dents to learn about various jobs in the working world. Vocational Classes like DCT, DE, and VOT allow students to receive ten hours credit, five for class work and five hours for their jobs. Distributive Education and Vocational Office Training classes are open to all Juniors and Seniors.

Mr. McDuffie and Milton Gissendanner ART AND DRIVING TAKE TALENT Sprayberry's art department offers a variety of classes such as fibers, photo- graphy, BASO, drawing, painting, cer- amics, and print making. These classes give students a chance to find out how talented they are. Mrs. Boyd comments, Art is very important because it affects the whole student, not just his mind and intellect. Art can make a student feel good about himself and his environment in a relaxed atmosphere. Art also involves feelings and perceptions in addition to just thinking. In order for a student to take art, he should be willing to give a little of his time and patience to his talents. Peering over the dashboard and through the spokes of the steering wheel, many students get the chance to sharpen their driving skills behind the wheel in Drivers Education. Dodging those trucks on highways 341 and H75 is just one of the skills learned by eager students. Students ' 'Qwvf'-A ax. , learn the proper procedures in driving and even though a few students take Drivers Ed just to knock the price of their insurance down, they end up filling their minds with the correct way to drive an automobile. Mr. Gissendonner and Mr. McDuffie are the two teachers who have made it possible for a student to know all the facts of driving. Mr. Gissendonner 81 Mr. McDuffie have made Sprayberry's driving program a great success in Cobb County. 161 PATSY SLOAN Special Education Department Has been teaching 5 years Univ. of Tenn., Carson Newman BUD SMITH Social Studies Department Has been teaching 24 years East Tennessee State Univ.

Q Choral music includes all academic disciplines: math in sight reading, history in styles, English in poetry, science in sound, and physical education in a strong athletic body. This is the way Doc Walt Michels describes the importance of music in high school students' education. Sprayberryis choral department provides many levels of music education from Intermediate Mixed to Advanced Mixed to Ensemble. These groups per- form at many concerts throughout the year after putting in long hours of practice in class. Doc Michels sees that his choruses maintain high standards such as sight reading and four part sight singing. These standards make SHS the place to be for chorus.

Ms. Patterson states, Only the cream of the crop is selected for the staff. An individual must first take journalism before he or she can become a member of the staff. The staff tries to cover every important school-related event. The staff also puts out an issue of the STINGER approximately every four weeks. Getting an issue ready to go to the printer is not an easy job. The students must write the articles, then have them proofread, typed, proofread again, and glued onto the layout page. For every story, there must be a headline, and for every picture a caption. No other public high school has a free newspaper. Thanks to the members who sell ads to local busin- esses, the STINGER staff makes enough money to let the student body receive the papers with no charge. Ms. Wanda Patterson, STINGER sponsor, devotes many hours of her time to perfect the newspaper. She assigns the stories, and proofreads them. She will even type when the articles file has been overloaded. WORKlNG PATIENTLY, Jeanne Strudthoff and Joe Deffranks think up some new ideas. It was brains like these that made each issue of the STINGER both informative and entertaining. if MS. PATTERSON. STINGER sponsor, tells Susan Bedgood what her next assignment will be for the upcoming deadline. Ms Patterson assigns and proofreads all articles before they are typed. Right: TYPlNG DlLlGENTLY, Jennifer Ramsey tries to complete her asslgnment before the deadline. Typing is agreed upon as being the most nerve-racking and frustrating task in putting an Issue together, as an article must be typed two or three times before it is completed.

Writing copy and captions is one ol the tasks in preparing a yearbook. RELAXING FROM WORK, Tessie Dittman takes a break from helping students during class picture day in November. The ECHO staff organizes picture day and distributes pictures. TIRED, Angie Pack and Bruce Rhodes prepare music for slide production which was designed to promote yearbook sales. WALSWORTH YEARBOOK EVENT SUMMER WORKSHOP participants Beth Day, Angie Pack, Mary Wagespack, Daryl Mauldin, Chris Lomax, Sally Walston and Tessie Dittman illustrate why they won the coveted spirit awardat the workshop along with a plaque for excellent page design. Dedication, determination, and constant worries were the main in- gredients that made up the 1981 ECHO staff. Dedication is the ability to work all three quarters on the staff and still hang on to one's sanity. Determination is working 'til two A.M. on a layout due the day before, or typing copy in the typing room during lunch periods. Constant worrying occurs when pic- tures are needed for a layout and the staff's photo company has them. The ECHO staff started in early June, combining these three in- gredients at a summer workshop. This event was held at Olgelthrope Universi- ty from June 31 to July 2. Participants Sharon Lynn, Angie Pack, Bruce Rhodes, Tessie Dittman, Darly Mauldin, Chris Lomax, Sally Walston, Beth Day, and Mary Waguespack put in three days of work to win ten awards. The staff won the coveted Spirit Award and a plaque for excellent page design. In addition, Bruce Rhodes won a certificate for photography, and an award for page design was given to Chris Lomax. Beth Day and Angie Pack won certificates for good theme development, and Angie was honored for her editor's notebook. Also, the entire staff was recognized for good headlines and captions. Upon returning to school in Sep- tember, the staff was already preparing a slide production to be shown in early January. They also sponsored a shoot- yourself booth, where Sprayberry students could take their own picture, during Winter Wingding and Spring Fling. Finally, the staff's major concern was producing the best book ever and showing students and other people in the community that Sprayberry is and was the place to be in 1981.

The student body contains people from areas near and far. Most are from the local area, some transferred from other schools, others from across the country, and even some from foreign countries. The group of students has different interests and char- acteristics. Sterotypes rang- ing from redneck to preppie, airhead to dexter, and loner to socialite are all present on every foot of the campus. This year 597 sophomores and 562 juniors grew accustomed to the 619 incoming freshman while 559 seniors prepared to leave the familiar four-year halls of SHS and head out into the world. But all four classes of Sprayberry joined together to enhance the school with unique individual- ness and make Sprayherry Higf School the place to gf Wm others. Uthers Juv' Hm,,4zZA Km' I as -, figs,-A l wggf. Class of Eighty-Four Since Sprayberry is The Place To Be, for the freshman class Sprayberry might well be called The Place To Begin Again. They spent eight years in preparation for high school but the Sprayberry freshmen were still not ready for their new beginning. Thrown into a more lenient environ- ment and a maze of hallways, a first day freshman was easily recognized by his or her confused face. Eventually they became assets to the corridors of Sprayberry. Along with first impressions came complaints such as The heating system don't work too good. and It's not so fun to be -is-'I Class of Eighty-Four picked on all the time. Crowds in the halls also seemed to devastate the underclassmen, who often found survival difficult. Most freshmen agree that high school far surpassed life in middle school. They no longer have to line up in their classrooms for lunch, and now they can join any of the many clubs found at Sprayberry. In four years the freshmen class of 1981 will be the senior class of 1984. They will have experienced many things in this time that will prepare them for the new begin- nings that everyone finds after high school. N x . S , ,' I I E. I I , A, s A I V Y . Il W ' 5 .,.'I,.

Some do not know where to find Mrs. Bray's French class for exam- ple, as illustrated by Theresa Novis frightl. Not knowing the way and having to ask upper- classmen is terrifying tor the Fresh of '84 . Not everyone would solve the problem like Richard Henderson lbelow, lar rightl did.

Sophomores are not just underclassmen, they are The Class of '83, looking for better hopes, a brighter future, and higher ideals. They are starting an upward trend, and are proud to be the sophomores of Sprayberry High. Is Sprayberry the place to be a sophomore? Ask some of the sophomores. Gray Rhymer describes it as an exciting school to attend. Being a sophomore at Sprayberry is really a good experience. Sophomores at Sprayberry are becoming more involved each year. For participation in classes, advanced classes, and drivers ed., Sprayberry's sophomores top the list. One-third of the sophomore class is involved in clubs. No other school in the county has a higher percentage. Sprayberry is one of the few schools in the county that offers advanced classes for sophomores. Sprayberry's drivers education program enrolls more sophomores than any other school in the county. With this much going for the sophomores, what more can be said? Sprayberry IS the Place to Be a sophomore. TOP left: S'OPHOMORE Kim Doetsch borrows Bottom left: MIRACLES WILL NEVER CEASE.

This year being a transitional one for juniors, many are busy preparing them- selves for the adult world. In preparing for the future many juniors work part-time. Along with their work schedule, they attend school full-time, and main- tain a tough academic schedule including such classes as Chem- istry, U. S. History, and Algebra ll. One of the special times tor the class of '82 includes receiving class rings. These rings, which students have dreamed about since their freshmen year, are finally a reality f Class of Eighty-Two in February. Another special event in which the juniors also play a big part is working on and attending the prom. This years prom, held at Lake Arrowhead, was a lot of work, but well worth the effort. Preparing for the future is a big part of the junior year. Many juniors took the PSAT this past fall and the SAT in the spring with plans of college foremost on their minds. Clearly, the juniors at Sprayberry have a bright outlook on the future. They have plans for their senior year and brilliant hopes for the following years. -. Y .v C li ,s ge .- 1 -11 1' ...

I fiirnf HIM, I' :R Seventy-eight percent of the class of '82 brought class rings, and sixty-nine percent bought theirs through Balfour. Balfour, a different company representing the school this year, offered more advantages and a better product to this years iuniora. The ring committee, formed of the iunior class officers and a representative chosen by each homeroom, worked well together to choose the basic design, lettering and the Yellow Jacket emblem to be put on the class rings. The ring committee did a fine job in representing the beet interest of the junior class. Pictured below, Lora Tilley, Mark Mitchell and Richie Greenfield closely examine a ring of the past to better choose what they think most juniors will like, while Dianne Holland listens attentively to Bal- four's representative. -a. 1, 1-x' ' f ,S -ve, H-:gf Lk L W . ?a-515' 1 5 J 2 +3 11 M f .

Sixty-one percent of the jun- iors work part-time, and most ol them work at jobs, such as oflice work and construction, that may later prove to be an advantage to e possible career. Still others, of course, work at last food restaur- ants such as McDonald's. Juniors are preparing them- selves for the working world in more ways than one. Ninety-two percent plan to attend college and a few want to ioin the military. Some even wish to get married. Junior counselor Miriam Hipsher worked with the Class of '82 to help plan these careers. She also worked with junior class officers, whose mein function was to work with the ring and prom committees. They also came to school early to sell donuts to earn money for the prom.

It took four years of hard climbing to reach the rank of senior. The class began as freshmen in 1977. Four years later they were successful and ready for what the future has to offer. This year's seniors have surpassed their predecessors in academics, sports, art, drama, and other school oriented activities. Upon graduation, seniors will be involved in new activities and face fresh challenges in the adult world. Leaving perhaps their best 5 Class of Eighty-One year of high school behind, seniors will go their separate ways to find their won adventures and goals in life. ln the years to come, seniors will remember how the class of '81 excelled, and how four years at Sprayberry prepared this class for the future. Some will enter the service, some will go to work, but most of the high ranking seniors of '81 will once again become a: freshman ffresh-menl 1. A beginner: novice 2. first year student in school.

GRADUATION PREPARATION K Seniors spend days, weeks, and months getting ready for two very special hours on June sixth. Late in the summer last year, upcoming seniors had their senior portraits made. In the fall and winter, seniors ordered caps, gowns, and announcements. Every quarter a few seniors sweated through tinal exams, requiring that course to graduate. Late in May, the senior gowns arrived, signifying that the year was coming to a close. Following a week of graduation practice, after the gowns are pressed, and the bags are packed tor Daytona, the Senior Class ot 1981 is ready to graduate.

Parents and friends watched the seniors march into the gym as the Symphonic Band, led by Dan Martin, played the processional, Pomp and Cir- cumstance.

After all the awards won by teams and clubs are laid to rest in display cases, after all the parties have been flung and all the lessons learned, the element which makes Sprayberry different lies in its individuals. Fresh- men and seniors, teachers, administra- tors and custodians, all contribute to make a year what it is. So remember the good times, remember the not-so-good ones, but remember: Sprayberry was the place to be in 1981. how :sin Ah f s who E PLACE TO BE . . , THE PLACE TO BE . . . THE PLACE TO BE . . . THE PLACE TO BE . . . THE PLAC fig C5 The purpose of the Echo yearbook is to provide an everlasting memory of the l98O-Sl school year for all 2353 students enrolled here at Sprayberry. The goal of the Echo staff is to make that memory the most complete. accurate. and warmest memory of all. I feel, with the utmost certainty and pride, That we have accomplished that goal. That is why I would like to thank those individuals on the staff who contributed to the success of that goal. Those who hung in there when there was nothing left to hang on to: those who sacrificed sleep. grades. and personal comfort in order to meet those killer deadlines. But most of all. those who stuck with it until the bitter end. l know it wasn't even near being easy, The word thanks is not enough for what Beth Day deserves. Without a doubt. she deserves the title editor being the backbone of this book. The success of this book is due to the hard work of each and every single staff member. But please realize this. it was done for each of YOU. l do hope you enjoy this volume of the Echo. That is what it was made for. T fl, MM M . Cach. E PLACE TO BE . . . THE PLACE TO BE . . .
