PECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREP0RTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALRE NEW ADDITIONS Cobb County is one ol the most rapidly growing areas in the country. 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. HIC!

A 3. 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. Taking advantage of the lunchroom, students often use it for last minute cramming or Below: SOME STUDENTS LEAVE IN CARS, others leave on buses, but this student leaves his quarterly parking space on a motorcycle, which is a rare sight in Sprayberry's parking lot. Bottom: STOPPING TO TALK to Leslie Medford on hanging out with friends. As for the parking lot, not one person goes through the day without coming or leaving through it. Being two of the largest and most active areas on campus, the parking lot and Iunchroom are the place for everyday student habits. his way out, Chris May is just one of many that can be found hanging around for awhile, not ready to go home. Below left: ALMOST EQUAL TO A FAST FOOD MENU, milkshakes and hamburgers are offered every day to -x ? ,,,...t students dreaming of McDonald's. Below right: EITHER RUSHING TO WORK, or heading for the lake, students are always anxious to leave the school day behind. Senior Sherry Kemp is seen here leaving at minimum day, as most seniors do. Bottom: CLOWNING AROUND will not help in finishing the homework due next period. This is often what takes place in the Iunchroom, maybe even more so than eating. Michelle Union and Teresa Clinkscales exemplify this everyday practice of Sprayberry students. 25

.1-1-dv WAY REPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPORTSPECIALREPOFITSI Top center: RICHWAY DOESN'T LOOK like a discount store . . but when its doors first opened in August, the bargain prices were soon discovered by the many patrons in Sprayberry's community. As the largest of the new additions in the area, Ftichway employed many eager Sprayberrians. Far left: THE LOCAL MELTING POT is quickly being welded together between Sprayberry and Walton in time for the 1980-81 school year. A melting pot is exactly what Lassiter will be, starting with students from both Sprayberry and Walton school district. Left: L-A-S-S-I-T-E-R spells relief for students going to area high schools because the school will relieve the intense crowding at the other schools. Bottom left: PROVIDING PEOPLE WITH MORE PUMPS for that precious petroleum liquid, this new station on Sandy Plains Fload typifies the ever growing community along this newly widened road. Bottom right: THE NEW SPFIAYBERRY vocation- al wing soon to be added to the south end of the building will eliminate the need for busing students to Walton to use their facilities. They will be able to stay in their own pride-filled territory and take advantage of the new opportunities, illustrating just one more reason why Sprayberry is The Place To Be. Flight: MONEY, MONEY! Along with the widening of Sandy Plains Fload came the convenience of having a bank near for fast availability for those precious bills needed by all students. H f,,, ,XXV N . . ,-.
