Fantasy Valley. Mr Rork. alias Tim Gardner, grants several wishes at the Irmo pep raly September 25. Student Life, you say? What exactly is it? What is it all about? It was going to football games and hanging out in the Pizza Factory parking lot afterwards. It was sending carnations to sweethearts on Valentine's Day and re- ceiving secret messages from secret admirers on James Bond Day. It was giving presents to the needy children at Christ- mas and partying on the weekends. It was all of these things and dozens more that helped everyone enjoy this twelfth year. Student Life There's no news like good newsl Or so it seemed for Donna Griffin when she was announced Homecoming Queen October 16. Escort Anthony Kelly agrees with the decision. 8 Student Life Divider

Beaming with pride, Roger Fugua accepts his trophy from the principal Mr Ben Nesbit. for winning m the men's 17-29 division A Run For The Money On your mark! ... Get set! . Go! ... And they were off and running in the second an- nual Valley Run on March 14, 1981. The Valley Run was orga- nized to help pull the communi- ty closer together and to pro- mote family participation, as well as to raise money for Stu- dent Council projects. Orga- nized by senior Greg Prewitt, the event turned out to be a success with the outstanding participation of 500 runners. Two courses were designed for the 3.1 mile race and the 6.2 mile race, having monitors set up at all major intersec- tions. Runners began at Wilson Vocation School, circled through the Woodbranch area, and ended up on the track field. First place in the girls' 16 and under division went to junior Jennifer Loomis; in the girls' 17-29 group, Chris- tine Hactovigoen won; in the girls' 30-39 group Caroline Brown led; and in the females' 10 Valley Run 40 and over Margaret Jaycer won. First place in the boys' 16 and under division went to Ste- ven Dunn, in the boys' 17-29, Roger Fugua won; in the boys' 30-39, Ray Pritehard led, and in the males' 40 and over. Mat Wolf won. A one mile Fun Run for ages 10 and under started be- hind Wilson, circled the back of the school, and finished in front of Wilson. Blue Cross, Blue Shield Insur- ance Co. furnished T-shirts, and the Coca-Cola Co. furnished Mello Yellows for the event. The thing that really amazed me about the Valley Run was the fact that we had runners from all over the State, even one guy who pulled his son in a wagon. Spring Valley's first run was a great success, and I'm looking for even more community participation next year, said student activities director, Sharon Buddin. Go, Dad, Go! For 6 2 miles this runner received encouragement from his two year old son until finally reaching the finish line
